UA students exiting Egypt

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Two UA students studying abroad in Egypt are evacuating from the country as a result of ongoing political turmoil.

Meredith Hay, the UA provost, sent a message to the campus in which she assured everyone that the two students in Egypt at the time of the protests had decided to leave the country.

“UA personnel have been in frequent contact with each of the UA students in Egypt since the protests began,” Hay wrote. “We have worked with our study abroad partners to offer the necessary resources to these individuals to ensure their safety and security, and will continue to do so as they leave the country.”

The U.S. Department of State has issued a travel warning against Egypt, as the country continues to be embroiled in protests against longtime President Hosni Mubarak.

That warning also orders the departure of all non-vital emergency personnel from the country.

The two students were involved in a study

abroad program run through the UA’s Near Eastern Studies Department. Leila Hudson, an associate professor in the department, said the decision to recommend the students leave the country was made on Tuesday. She also said she had been in touch with the students since Egypt lifted the ban on Internet use in the country on Wednesday.

“By Wednesday morning, when the Egyptian president (Mubarak) made his speech in which he did not indicate that he would make a transition, that sort of foreshadowed the violence,” Hudson said. “At that point, things began to get ugly and we began to think about these students.”

Hudson praised the quick action of the UA Campus Emergency Response Team, which compiled data on all students studying abroad in the region so the UA could contact them.

One of the students will be traveling to Europe to wait and see if the situation in Egypt improves. Hudson did not know the plans of the other student.

Hudson said that the UA does not currently have any students studying in other countries

New, big man on campus

with active protests, such as Yemen or Lebanon, but that there is one student in Syria, one in Jordan, and “several” in Turkey.

“None of those students are under recommendation to leave as of now,” Hudson said.

Hudson said the UA’s recommendation was to help ensure the safety of the students.

“The UA wanted to do anything that we could, whether that be facilitating communications or making sure we take care of financial issues, so that they knew their safety was our primary concern and we would do whatever it would take to help them,” Hudson said.

Hudson said she could not provide any personal information about the students due to restrictions pertaining to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Hay wrote that no UA personnel were currently in the country, but any who were planning to travel to the Middle East should contact Gail Burd, vice provost for academic affairs, “to initiate the approval process and discuss potential options for deferring travel.”

Pima transfer student eyes presidency

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Hector Araujo is one of three men running for president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona.

He is a political science junior.

Daily Wildcat: What made you decide to run for president of ASUA? Araujo: I was always interested in attending the UA since my freshman year because I worked with “Anytown Arizona,” a volunteer and counseling program that had a week-long program held at the university. That convinced me to attend the UA, but it was after the registration date, so I could not apply for my freshman year. So I went to Pima (Community College) and ran on the cross-country and track team which landed me a scholarship. Through getting involved, I knew running for president is something I always wanted to do.

There is no doubt in my mind that I could be president here — in just two years at Pima, we made student government a tangible and realistic thing. At the UA, there are a lot of important issues I feel I can help out with and create new things.

FIRST PLACE

Do you think your experiences at Pima would help you as the future president of ASUA? I believe it will, and that it will give me a different perspective.

Although I haven’t been fully submerged in the UA quite yet, I see the different demographics. Putting all my experiences together will give me a wider perspective.

Tucson freezes over; water lines burst

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

A constant stream of water flows from a burst pipe on Thursday in the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage. Record low temperatures across the city have caused pipe problems, natural gas shortages and disrupted water service.

Go online to check out Daily Wildcat photojournalist Gordon Bates’ blog about the Hungarian demonstrations against media restritions.

Several dozen buildings on campus, and thousands more in Tucson, have had their water and gas services affected by yesterday’s record-low temperatures.

Chris Kopach, the director of Facilities Management, said that 30 to 40 buildings on campus were flooded as a result.

“We’ve had flooding all day,” Kopach said. “Ever since things started thawing, that’s when we had flooding.”

According to Kopach, many of the buildings that were flooded were smaller houses north of campus, off of Helen Street. The “Swede” Johnson building and Steward Observatory were closed today due to damage caused by flooding.

“The Swede Johnson & Vine Building are closed today due to water issues. We apologize for any inconvenience,” read a paper sign that was taped to the main en-

“Our facilities staff are working very diligently to get everything back up and in working condition,” Kopach said.

The James E. Rogers College of Law did not experience any water damages or difficulties, though it was in the same area as many older houses and buildings along Helen Street. The Daniel F. Cracchiolo Law Library also didn’t experience any problems. Students were still able to enter and use the facilities for studying and research.

The third floor of the Henry Koffler building also was flooded, and Kopach said the water flow looked “like a waterfall.”

Kopach estimated the flooding began around 11 a.m., when pipes that were frozen overnight began to thaw.

Schools considering privatization

By Lucy Valencia Arizona Daily Wildcat

Colleges and schools within the UA are considering privatization as an option to decrease reliance on state funding as the budget cuts continue. “Follow-up discussions regarding privatization are taking place within UA units, and there are no announcements imminent,� said Assistant Budget Director Kathryn Whisman. “How lack of state funding due to budget cuts will impact schools and colleges within the UA, nothing will truly be known until the budget and tuition setting process is complete,� Whisman said. “We certainly know there will be additional cuts throughout the UA, but where and how they are implemented still remains to be seen,� she said.

Provost Meredith Hay said the word privatization suggests an approach to how the university is funded that is not quite right. She said when the word privatization is used, it does not mean UA, ASU or any

other colleges and universities would move toward becoming a private university. The assets of public universities are still owned by the state.

How the university can continue to run with decreasing state appropriations is a question the UA is scrambling to answer. “The question is how do we prepare to have decreasing state funds and still run our programs, but have them funded through other revenues,� Hay said.

The UA has requested over $636 million from the state for university funds in 2011, but the executive recommendation for funding was around $490 million in Gov. Jan Brewer’s most recent budget proposal. “The state money is getting to be a smaller and smaller piece, but it’s a really important piece,� said Jeffrey Goldberg, dean of the College of Engineering. “It’s not an easy question.�

The College of Engineering runs on about $16.8 million in tuition and state funds, according to Goldberg. Depending on the level tuition is set at, there could be around an

$8 million funding shortfall. “If we went private, we would have to pay those $8 million with other strategies,�

Goldberg said.

Some of the standard revenue strategies Goldberg is considering are funds from more donors, intellectual property and incorporating distance education into their program. “The question is, can we do all this to replace $8 million a year on continuous basis?� he said.

The UA already has several colleges that are less dependent upon state appropriations than others, according to Hay. An example is the College of Optical Sciences. “They have less than 15 percent of their total budget coming from the state appropriations, and they use some of the revenue from granted contracts to help fund and run their college,� Hay said.

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has no intention of privatizing any of their academic units, according to Eugene G. Sander, vice provost and dean. The school may consider plans that would call for some

service units, such as the Arizona Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, to use fees for service to pay their expenses.

Recently, one of the law schools in the state has chosen to privatize its program.

Lawrence Ponoroff, dean of the James E. Rogers College of Law, will not take the same route as ASU’s Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law. He said it was because he does not want to add more students to the classes offered in the UA’s College of Law. “Our real focus is on the individual nature of the student experience. We know that state funding is going to continue to decline, certainly for a while. And we know it will never return to the way it was. I have no intention of privatization,� Ponoroff said. “To some degree it is out of our control. I don’t know what will happen. But I do think we have to at least prepare for a world in five to 10 years where there is no more state support from the budget.�

Ponoroff did say he was “grateful for every penny of state funding we have been given.�

Four musicians in the UA School of Music will perform at the 38th Annual President’s Concert this Saturday and Sunday.

The featured soloists, Greg Guenther, a baritone, Brian Hicks, a saxophonist, pianist Elena Miraztchiyska and violist OrquĂ­dea Guandique, will play with the Arizona Symphony Orchestra.

The final four were chosen from the President’s Concerto Competition out of 28 musicians.

Ingvi Kallen, information specialist at the School of Music, said a competitive concert is “traditional� of every music school.

Guenther, who began his doctoral program in vocal performance at the UA in 2008, said he is nervous and excited about the concert because “it’s not every day you get to perform with an orchestra.� “It involves so many people working with (you) to ensure you have a great show,� Guenther said.

Guenther grew up with a musical family and has formally studied music for the last 11 years.

Miraztchiyska, a Bulgarian native who debuted with the Bulgarian Chamber Orchestra at age 12, will perform a piano solo.

She has also performed as a concerto soloist with the Varna Opera Theatre Philharmonic

Orchestra, Sofia State, University of Nevada, Las Vegas Symphony and Chamber Orchestras.

Hicks said he picked up the saxophone a year after attempting to play the trumpet, which he deemed too difficult. “The saxophone was easy,�

Hicks said. He has now been playing for 20 years. Â Hicks said he is nervous for his performance because it is the first time he will play with an orchestra. Hicks has played with prominent acts such as The Temptations, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Linda Ronstadt and Diahann Carroll.

Guandique, principle violist for the Arizona Symphony Orchestra, originally began playing the violin at age eight and switched to viola eight years ago.

Guandique said she switched because she didn’t want to play the violin anymore, which her parents had picked for her, but she didn’t want to stop playing altogether.

She recently performed a viola solo with the UA Philharmonic Orchestra and appeared as soloist with Sons of Orpheus, a male Tucson choir. “I hope to get a lot of involvement from the community,� Guandique said, referring to students and others. She said she hopes they get as many people as possible.

Southwest Gas also has issued a

statement urging citizens to conserve their gas usage, due to a shortage of natural gas across the U.S. Walkup said as many as 14,000 homes were without heat. It may take two to three days to restore service to all those affected.

Pentagon and FBI ‘slip up’ in Fort Hood massacre MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

Carolyn Cole/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Anti-Hosni Mubarak protesters, hiding behind makeshift shields, throw rocks at rival group at the edge of Liberation Square, where they clashed for a second day in Cairo, Egypt, on Thursday. The protesters were able to push back the rival group several blocks, but the fighting continues unabated.

Egyptian protesters bloodied and shaken but unmoved by conflict open-air triage center. With businesses locked up long ago, young women in head scarves served water to demonstrators from inside a Hardee’s while weary-looking men sporting bandages dozed on the doorsteps of travel agencies, too many to count.

At every entrance to the square, protesters had set up security cordons backed up by neatly arranged lines of stones, in case of another attack. As in previous days, the Egyptian army presence was thin, just a few dozen soldiers looking on, and no uniformed police were in sight.

In a back alley, volunteers set up an emergency medical clinic, where doctors in dirtied white coats re-dressed wounds from the previous night. Hussein Dawood, a physician, said that more than 3,000 people had been injured, a figure that far exceeded the government’s count.

“We want the whole world to know that the Egyptian president organized an operation against his own people,” Ali said, “as if he was in a war.”

When Ali left his Cairo home Jan. 25 to join the first day of the protests, he told his parents: “I will come home victorious, or you will receive my dead body.” Late Wednesday night, after nearly 10 hours of running battles in and around the square, he was on the front lines near the museum alongside scores of young male demonstrators.

On an overpass a few hundred yards away, pro-Mubarak forces rained rocks and Molotov cocktails packed with glass shards in Ali’s direction. He received three gashes in his head — the blood running down his face and coating his sweatshirt — and bruises that swelled his left leg to twice its size.

But he and his allies continued a well-organized resistance, hurling rocks and firebombs back at their attackers.

At about the same time, 24-year-old Ahmed Sharkawy, an engineering student, was behind the front line, helping to supply protesters with stones and water. It was after 1 a.m., he said, when a young protester in front of him was struck in the head with a bullet and collapsed to the ground.

Protest organizers said snipers were perched atop nearby buildings, and doctors said they had treated some gunshot wounds. Another activist, Mohammed Gaad, saw gunshots fell five protesters when they briefly seized the overpass from the pro-Mubarak group.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE CAIRO — The day after Wednesday’s rampage, blood stained the streets of Tahrir Square. It oozed through the bandages wrapping the heads of the protesters and crusted around their bleary eyes. People walked around in a daze, barely able to articulate what had been done to them or what they had dealt out in return.

One man, a 30-year-old lawyer named Tareq Hussein Ali, whose sweatshirt was so bloodied it looked like a red-brown bib, ventured his analysis. “Egypt will never be as it used to be,” he said.

In the battle for Tahrir Square, the heart of Egypt’s 10-day uprising against U.S.allied President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year rule, the protesters took on and ultimately prevailed over the pro-government gangs sent in to beat them.

In a highly choreographed but primitive siege, played out before a worldwide television audience, the attackers launched gasoline bombs and skull-sized stones from rooftops and bridges or galloped through the teeming square on horses and camels.

When dawn broke Thursday, the square was smoldering, shaken and heavily damaged, but the protesters were unmoved. At least five people had died, Egyptian officials said. At the north end, in the shadow of Egypt’s world-famous antiquities museum, a line of young male demonstrators stood behind a wall of metal sheets that they used as shields, two vehicles they’d set ablaze as a barricade burned down to their hulls, their attackers seemingly melted away.

Holding on to the square for least one more day may not be enough to force Mubarak to resign, as the movement is demanding. The battle had clearly exhausted protesters as they tried to assemble another massive demonstration for Friday, which they’ve dubbed Mubarak’s “day of departure.”

But the activists showed the extent of their resolve, and some seemed to think that they’d won a pivotal moment in their country’s history.

“Last night showed that the government is at the last of their options,” Ali said Thursday afternoon, sitting on a grass patch in the middle of Tahrir — which means “liberation” — where dozens of protesters were resting under anti-government banners.

Covering UA Since 1899

WASHINGTON — The FBI and the Pentagon are responsible for a “string of failures” in the way they attempted to track a disgruntled Army major in the years before he allegedly opened fire at a crowded Fort Hood, Texas, deployment center in the worst domestic terror ambush since the attacks of September 2001, two key Senate leaders concluded Thursday.

In addition, Army supervisors repeatedly referred to Maj. Nidal Hasan as a “ticking time bomb,” and FBI agents and the military knew he had become radicalized under the influence of a violent Islamist extremist. Yet the agents never arrested him, and his military superiors never disciplined or furloughed him out of the Army.

“The Fort Hood massacre should have been prevented,” said Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., who along with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, conducted the investigation into the November 2009 shooting on behalf of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

“People in the Department of Defense and the FBI had ample evidence of alleged killer Nidal Hasan’s growing sympathies toward violent Islamist extremism in the years before the attack.

He was not just a ticking time bomb but a traitor.

Thirteen people died needlessly at Fort Hood.”

Hasan, a 41-year-old U.S.-born Muslim of Palestinian descent who worked as an Army psychiatrist, reportedly yelled, “Allahu Akbar” — Arabic for “God is great” — when he burst into the Soldier Readiness Center and allegedly opened fire. Besides the 13 deaths, 32 people were wounded.

Hasan was shot outside the center and was paralyzed from the chest down. The Army is considering sending him to a general court-martial, where he could face the death penalty.

The Senate committee leaders launched their investigation to determine what went wrong in the Hasan case and how future “lone-wolf terrorists” could be spotted and dealt with.

Along the way, the FBI, the Department of Justice and the Pentagon all tussled with the senators, sometimes refusing to provide critical documents that shed light on Hasan’s past and what they knew about him. At one point, the committee threatened subpoenas.

Lieberman and Collins said their “basic conclusion” was that the FBI and the Defense Department never had specific information of a time or place when Hasan might attack. But, they said, the agencies “collectively had sufficient information to have detected Hasan’s radicalization to violent Islamist extremism but failed to understand and to act on it.”

Student affairs require student action Elisa Meza Arizona Daily Wildcat

I

f I were to run out to the UA Mall, right by where the 20-foot photos of abortion footage are, and borrow my friend’s megaphone to shout, “Hey! Tuition is rising! Every year! Retaliate!”

I’m pretty sure even the anti-abortion activists would think I was nuts. That’s saying a lot about what kind of activism we are used to seeing or promoting on our campus. It also questions why we, as students in a state that never proves its prioritization to education, don’t own more megaphones.

It might be because we can’t visualize the effects of increasing tuition costs in the same way that we can be forced to see blown-up photos of bloody fetuses.

But do we not feel the effects of rising tuition?

I felt the hairs on my arm tingle when I realized how much tuition has actually risen. For instance, from last year ’s undergraduate resident tuition, costs for the 2010-11 academic year rose 20 percent to $8,237. Non-resident undergraduate tuition rose to $24,596, a 10 percent increase.

It was prophesized for us last year.

Since then, the globe has erupted with student movements against this injustice. Except for on our campus.

Since before November 2010, London university students have been actively protesting their parliament’s plan to triple their student fees and tuition increases. That’s triple, a percentage I wouldn’t even want to calculate.

More than 52,000 students marched the streets of London, protesting against the tuition increases as well as the scrapping of Educational Maintenance Allowance, a program that helps fund students who come from low-income families. As universities were literally chained down, student voices were heard all around the world.

Just this past Tuesday, in Puerto Rico, more than 150 students were arrested for civil disobedience while protesting an $800 tuition increase. “Students were also being advised to write ‘Pago Bajo Protesta’ or ‘Payment Under Protest’ on payments via checks or money orders for evidence of their opposition,” reported The Huffington Post on Jan. 18. This way, they can be reimbursed for the fees if a class action lawsuit against the administration proves successful.

Unfortunately, violence ensued at a sitin protest involving violent arrests and rubber bullets. As this two-month long protest continues, we in Tucson have to ask the question: Where are our voices?

On our campus, we’ve got to look to whomever is meant to represent our opposition to paying ridiculous tuition and fee increases. Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Emily Fritze wrote in a blog post on Jan. 31 that, “ASUA and ASA have sought to scrutinize and give input on these proposed fees, often countering administration proposals with student proposals. The truth is that some fees are now being used as a backdoor tuition increase, cloaked with the glamour of treadmills, shiny facilities, and better dining options.” If we know that these “backdoor” dealings going on, what are our options as students to speak up against what we know we can’t afford?

Why is it that people like the antichoice folk bring their bloody rhetorical strategies and manipulative photos to the Mall each year, but we don’t have an annual open student forum for education on tuition and student fees?

We have seen international proof of students’ ability to put pressure on officials who are making decisions behind our back. And unlike in the case of the Puerto Rican protests, actions don’t always have to lead to violence.

But the tensions we see across the globe represent what this silence can lead to.

In the words of Saul Alinsky, “The most unethical of all means is the nonuse of any means.”

MAILBAG Generalizations leave a bad taste

Mr. McKay, I was really enjoying reading your article “Mexico gets medieval” (published Feb. 1) while eating lunch at 3 Cheeses and a Noodle the other day. Then, at some point, your commentary changed from humorous to disrespectful, in my opinion: “Given the gung-ho ‘cowboy’ dynamic that seems to run through the souls of most border patrol agents...”

I am unsure what your relationship, knowledge and experiences are with Border Patrol agents are. However, your statement seems to make a pretty sweeping generalization about people with one of the toughest jobs I can imagine. Maybe it was a compliment. Maybe border patrol agents really do have this mentality — I just think it’s unfair to make offhand generalizations about people you did. Either way, it left a strange distaste in my mouth as I left 3 Cheeses and a Noodle 20 minutes later.

Arizona needs compassion, kindness to recover

Thank you, Your article (“Arizona: Breaking down when we should rebuild,” Jan. 30) was much needed in this community that has been through much. Hate groups and media were called out and insulted by Dupnik’s comments, which were correct and not out of line for their involvement in incitement to violence.

They would like you to believe that all that hateful violent talk did not affect Loughner or others who listen to hate radio/TV. We have a chance to heal but we must be as organized and persistent with love and compassion as those that hate.

Internet shutdown in Egypt violates human rights Associated Press published a video of an Egyptian protester being gunned down.

We’ve seen in the past how important the Internet is as a medium of communication in mass demonstrations of this kind. During the Arizona Daily Wildcat Iranian “Green Revolution” of 2009, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter very human is endowed with and other social networking sites certain inalienable rights, but is helped rally international support for Internet access one of them? the movement and played a pivotal role Human rights are by no means a nov- in the mobilization effort. el concept. They have existed for centuries. But when the Magna Carta was drafted in 1215 and the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights nearly 800 years later, no one had any idea that humankind’s existence would one day depend on a massive system of interconnected computer networks.

It may sound absurd on its face, but in today’s society, Internet access is a fundamental human right, one that is instrumental in exercising the right to peaceably assemble.

Nowhere else in the world are people fighting harder to preserve this right than in Egypt, where thousands have But not even Tehran forced the countaken to the streets to protest the coun- try’s service providers to shut down all try’s 30-year-old autocratic govern- connections to the Internet. ment, whose list of human rights violaCommunication is fundamental to tions is as long as the Nile. human existence.

“Communication is fundamental to human existence. The Egyptian government’s attempt to silence its people by barring Internet access is an affront to democracy and a testament to the regime’s blatant disregard for human rights.”

networks in Egypt still managed to remain connected, providing international news outlets with a steady stream of information regarding the ongoing unrest within the country. Eyewitness reports, cell phone videos and pictures of the tumult have flashed across computer monitors and television screens around the world.

Egypt’s Internet shutdown may not have been a human rights violation of the highest degree, but it was a violation nonetheless and should be recognized as such.

The right to Internet access is fast becoming the human rights issue of this generation and will have to be addressed at one point or another. Finland and Estonia were the first two countries in the world to officially recognize it as a human right and they certainly won’t be the last.

A BBC World Service Survey found that 78 percent of urban Egyptians believe access to the Internet is a fundamental human right, which pales in comparison to countries like South Korea and Mexico where more than 90 percent of population say they believe this.

The Internet serves as more than just a medium of communication. It is the vital link between every human and the rest of the global community. The Mubarak Administration’s now infamous internet shutdown should bring us closer to realizing that access to the internet is a right that should guaranteed to all.

POLICEBEAT

Plenty of room for marijuana activities

A resident assistant at Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall reported an odor of marijuana coming a room to the University of Arizona Police Department at 10:43 p.m. on Wednesday.

Two UAPD officers arrived to the dorm and met with the RA, who pointed out the room where the smell was coming from.

The officers knocked on the door, and while waiting for the residents to appear one of the officers noticed that the room did smell of marijuana.

A male UA student opened the door and the officer requested to enter the room to talk.

The officer told both students to sit in their respective desks.

While the officer advised the students as to why UAPD had been called in, the officer noticed a glass grinder and a bag with a leafy brown substance on top of one of the student’s desks.

The officers then interviewed each student individually.

Both students denied to smoking marijuana but submitted to additional property searches.

The officers were able to find marijuana, a vaporizer, two grinders and more plastic bags with residue.

The officers placed the students under arrest for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The students were cited and released.

The students were referred to the Dean of Students Office for a code of conduct violation.

Car of drunk students busted

A car full of UA students was charged for minors in possession after attempting to run from police at a traffic stop.

A UAPD officer stopped a car for making an improper left turn at Mountain Avenue and Speedway Boulevard at 11:39 a.m. on Saturday.

The vehicle stopped in the parking lot on Vine Avenue behind the Sigma Chi fraternity house.

Immediately after stopping, the passengers of the vehicle attempted to exit quickly.

However, the car was parked too closely to other vehicles and the passengers were unable to flee.

The officer stopped the students from leaving and went to talk with the driver.

While talking with the driver, the officer noticed several cans of Keystone Light in the vehicle.

The driver said that he had just come from an off-campus house to pick up a few friends that needed a ride.

The passengers had all piled into the car, and the driver decided to help them get to campus despite not knowing them.

The driver was dropping the passengers off at Sigma Chi fraternity.

The driver was also unaware that any of the passengers brought beer into the vehicle.

The officer then spoke to all of the passengers and concluded that all of them had intoxicants in their system by way of breathalyzer.

The student passengers were cited and released for minors in possession.

The driver was given a warning for having open containers in the vehicle after no one claimed ownership to the beer.

The students were all referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Car broken into at sorority

A female UA student had several items stolen from her vehicle parked in the Delta Gamma sorority parking lot early Jan. 29.

The student reported the theft to UAPD at 12:32 p.m.

The student told the officer that she found her car with its passenger window broken in the morning.

She said that she parked in the southernmost portion of the lot, furthest from First Street, at 1:00 a.m.

The passenger-side window was partially broken, enough to allow for a hand and arm to gain access into the vehicle, and the vehicle was still locked.

A digital camera and a small clutch purse on the passenger’s seat were stolen.

The officer could not see how the glass broke or find any additional evidence.

Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

The Steelers!

How do you feel about the Black Eyed Peas performing at half time?

You know, hopefully there won’t be another Janet Jackson slippage. I am pretty excited.

How do you feel about the song “My Humps?”

It definitely brings me back to my freshman year of high school dance.

Did you ever get in trouble for grinding too inappropriately?

No, but the teachers actually came around with rulers and measured and made us stand at a particular distance.

If you were performing at half time, what would you wear to shake your ass in front of millions?

I would wear something sporty and cute, like a little tight football jersey.

So like Sporty Spice style?

Yeah, but Victoria Beckham is married to my future husband so I am going to steal him.

What would you do to a crazy fan, such as yourself, who was trying to take David away from you?

Well, if I am married to this gorgeous man, I would expect women to be all over him. So I would just have to trust my man.

Is that Barack Obama selling KFC?

At first glance, it would seem that Barack Obama has returned to the passionate “change” rhetoric he deployed in his presidential campaign, except with a curious new focus: fish fillet sandwiches.

“Change, not only for your mom, but for you, your stomach, for a better taste!” he proclaims in the video, before being tragically crushed by a giant sandwich.

On closer inspection, however, it turns out that the White House has not adopted a bold new initiative to revitalize the economy by creating

Wildcats down Cardinal Arizona takes sole possession of first place in Pac-10

Stanford’s Dwight Powell, left, makes a shot against Arizona’s Alex Jacobson in the second half at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, Calif., on Wednesday.

Arizona defeated Stanford 78-69.

COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman sports writer

In the scheme of things, the No. 21 Arizona men’s basketball team’s win against Stanford wasn’t the only significant game in the Pacific 10 Conference last night. Within minutes of the Wildcat’s victory, the Washington Huskies, who were also 7-2 in the conference, fell to the lowly Oregon State Beavers.

Moving to 19-4 on the year, the Wildcats took sole possession of the Pac-10 to begin the second half of the conference schedule with a 78-69 win at Maples Pavilion.

Looking to keep ahead of the curve, here’s what the Wildcats need to do to sweep the Northern California schools and remain the sole team in the league with only two conference losses.

Nhat V. Meyer/ San Jose Mercury News/MCT

By Kyle Arps ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT As the Arizona Icecats begin to wind down their season with only six games remaining, the team expects it to end with a bang.

The No. 23 Icecats (10-121) will travel to Weber State and Colorado State for a pair of two-game series before closing out the year at home in the Tucson Convention Center against No. 7 ASU in a two-game series.

“It’s been an interesting year and the key of the next six games is to play the best we can, with people we have out,” head coach Leo Golembiewski said.

Arizona has been affected by disadvantages this season, including many injuries and very little practice time on the ice due to scheduling issues with the TCC .

The Icecats have continued to fight on , though, recently earning a 5-4 upset of No. 5 Adrian College.

“The guys have played and fought hard all year long,” he added. “It’s been a tough year for the guys and as a coach you hope for the most.”

The Icecats have lost five games by one goal, including close losses to ASU and No. 8 Minot State. Those close losses are the difference between a 10-12-1 record, and a 15-7-1 record, and a possible berth

into the American Collegiate Hockey Association National Tournament .

In order to make it into the ACHA National Tournament, a team must be ranked in the Top 16 in the country. According to Golembiewski, the Icecats would “almost need to be in the Top 12,” in order to survive the automatic bids from conference teams and still make it in.

Arizona has scored an impressive 134 goals so far this season, but giving up 147, according to Golembiewski, is the main issue.

“We’ve been so close in so many games,” he said.

Golembiewski said the biggest victory so far was the upset of Adrian on Jan. 8, in which there was a benchclearing brawl afterward.

“Hockey is an emotional, and fast paced game. Adrian attacked our team as players congratulated each other,” he said.

The Icecats still have a chance to make new highlights and another big upset victory when ASU rolls into town for the season finale on Feb. 25-26. Arizona has had 2-1, and 3-1 leads in games against ASU earlier this season, but was unable to hold them. ASU is also riding on a long winning streak against the Icecats, which Arizona intends to try and snap.

Arizona suffers first home loss Ibekwe’s double-double not enough for Wildcats

For the first time in the 20102011 season, Arizona dropped a game at home, losing 73-63 to California in McKale Center on Thursday night.

Arizona (13-8, 4-6 Pacific 10 Conference) couldn’t shake an ice-cold start, which saw the Wildcats shoot 0-of-7 from the field and commit five turnovers in the game’s first five minutes.

“I thought this was a game that we had an opportunity to win,” said Arizona coach Niya Butts. “(The slow start) was on us because we weren’t focusing. We came out and two people would be executing and two wouldn’t be.”

Senior forward Ify Ibekwe — who led Arizona with 21 points and 11 rebounds — said that she came into the game with more of an aggressive mindset.

“That’s something I’m trying to do — just not being so soft,” Ibekwe said. “When I’m more active, I feel

Arizona scored its first three buckets off drives en route to 34 points in the paint to Stanford’s 30.

Derrick Williams led the charge, scoring 21 points and grabbing eight rebounds by the game’s end while shooting 8-for-14 from the field. That all came despite a reluctance to put his hand in too much danger, pulling back his shots after being fouled, and consciously using his left hand on drives to the basket.

Still, Williams was effective before fouling out, throwing in a difficult And-1 bank shot with his left hand in the first half and scorHOOPS, page 11

Lone senior Russell leads young Wildcats gymnastics team through injuries The Arizona Wildcats gymnastics team will host the University of Illinois at Chicago tonight in McKale Center. The Wildcats have won two straight meets at home heading into tonight.

By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona gymnastics team is looking to improve on their season high score of 195.375, which they totalled last week against the Boise State Broncos.

The Wildcats will compete against the University of Illinois at Chicago at 7 p.m. in McKale Center.

“It’s just repetition,” said head coach Bill Ryden. “To get really good at our sport you have to do so many routines that you are bored to tears. When you are finally bored that’s probably when you are good.

We have just been working on those little areas over and over.”

Deanna Graham is back to form after suffering a back injury, According to Ryden, who said that Aubree Cristello is also healthy.

The Wildcats spent the majority of Tuesday’s practice working on the little things as teammates offered advice to each other on how to make their routines that much better.

“I think the performance that we had last week was pretty good, but we still left about .8 to a full point on the floor,” said assistant coach John Court. “We just want to have everybody maximize their potential and if that happens that gap will close.”

There have been visable signs of the team’s improvements over the last two weeks. After several gymnasts fell against ASU, the Wildcats fell just once against Boise State.

“The last meet we were really good at hitting (our routines) but this meet I think, as a team, we are going to work on the details,” Graham said. “I know our coaches always say that, but it’s come down to it. We hit our routines, but now it’s all about the legs and the pointed toes and the handstands. We could easily

Hallie Bolonkin/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

improve a whole point.”

Russell leads Wildcats

The Pacific 10 Conference rewarded UA senior Miranda Russell as the Special Performance of the Week for her effort against Boise State. Russell placed in all three events that she participated in against the Broncos.

Russell finished first on bars and floor earning a 9.850 on both and also received second place on vault with a 9.825.

Russell has had a two-year struggle with her knees which caused her to redshirt one season. After scoring a career high 9.900 against ASU, Ryden said he was ecstatic.

“That routine was five years in the making,” Ryden said. “She has worked so hard and she deserved that. I couldn’t be happier for her.” The team will also contribute to the fight against cancer in their annual “Flipping for the Fight” in honor of breast cancer awareness.

Sophomore guard Davellyn Whyte drives to the basket in Arizona’s 73-63 loss to California on Thursday in McKale Center.

The Golden Bears handed the Wildcats their first home loss of the season.

continued from page 10 like I bring my other teammates along with me.”

Ibekwe wasn’t a one-woman show despite Arizona’s double-digit lost to the Golden Bears (14-7, 6-4). Sophomore guard Davellyn Whyte also scored 21 points, while playing with a wrapped right wrist.

“It’s just a little sore — we only (wrapped) it to prevent some things,” Whyte said.

Although Arizona’s 63 points were well under its season average of 74 points per game, Butts said that defense was the main contributor to the Wildcats’ woes.

“I think their guard did a really good job of attacking us, and they were physical with us,” Butts said. “It seemed like they were able to get in the paint at will and make plays offensively. I think our defensive effort wasn’t what it’s been in the last couple games.”

Butts said that the Wildcats focus on turning defensive stops in to quick scores, and that slowed down Arizona’s usual highspeed offense.

After dropping its first home game of the season, Arizona plays No. 4 Stanford (19-2, 10-0) in McKale Center on Saturday at 2 p.m.

“We have to do a good job of pushing the ball in transition,” Butts said. “Obviously they’re bringing a lot of size to the table, so scoring early is going to be critical for us.”

Arizona lost this season’s earlier meeting with Stanford 87-54.

He was aided by point guard Momo Jones, who, along with Williams, might have cemented himself as a team leader. Despite ugly early play, he scored 15 points, including hitting shots down the stretch that put Stanford away.

On the perimeter, the Wildcats made it rain like the Koffler water pipes Thursday, going and efficient 5-for-12 from the 3-point line for the game.

They went cold in the second half, missing all five attempts, but their final percentage lies around their season average, and they continued the trend of hassling opponents in their own 3-point

Winning the turning points

Each time the young Cardinal team climbed back into the game, Arizona responded to remain a step ahead.

Without relinquishing its advantage, Arizona led by as many as nine points in the first half. The Cardinal fought back to tie the game at 33 before two 3-pointers by guard Kyle Fogg and forward Jesse Perry gave the Wildcats a 39-33 lead at halftime.

And to begin the second, Stanford made another run, taking a 41-39 lead as Arizona got sloppy. The Cardinal would hold the lead, its only lead the entire game, for only 2:17 minutes.

Then, forward Kevin Parrom found Perry for an And-1 which tied the game

at 45. Jones drove for a layup to take the lead and then stole an inbounds and hit two free throws with 12 minutes to go.

Stanford wouldn’t let Arizona pull away, tying the game against at 58.

Arizona pulled away from that point forward, taking control down the stretch.

X-factor: Kevin Parrom

The reserve forward came in with energy, grabbing offensive rebounds and turning those into points.

Parrom controlled the paint with his passing, tabbing four assists while dishing to Perry and Williams for easy baskets. He also scored seven and grabbed three rebounds, all of which were offensive.

He and Perry, who scored 12 points and grabbed five rebounds himself, made up for a hindered — if you could call it that — Williams.

The Arizona men’s tennis team returns home this weekend after abruptly ending its stay in Texas last weekend. After losing to No. 44 University of Miami in the first round of the ITA Kick-Off Weekend, the Wildcats were forced to default their second match versus No. 40 Mississippi State when the team came down with a virus.

Coach Tad Berkowitz doesn’t attribute the loss to Miami to the virus, but it certainly did not help Arizona’s chances. “A few guys couldn’t play but we’re not making excuses, we pride ourselves on our depth. Miami is a good team,” Berkowitz said.

The Wildcats (1-2) will face the University of the Pacific Tigers (0-3) at 1 p.m. this afternoon at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center in the first game of a five-game home stand. This meeting will be the fifth between the schools, with the Wildcats having won all previous matchups.

The Northern Arizona Lumberjacks (2-1) come into Tucson on Sunday for the 25th meeting between the two Arizona schools, including last year ’s 5-1 Wildcat win. The Wildcats have been victorious in 23 out of the 24 times they have faced NAU. Despite their two losses last weekend, the Wildcats remained ranked No. 32. Senior Andres Carrasco received the No. 16 spot in the first edition of the Southwest Regional rankings.

While the men’s tennis team had a rough weekend away from home last week, the women’s team continues to take care of business.

The No. 49 ranked Wildcats (4-0) will take on the Fresno State Bulldogs this afternoon in Fresno, Calif. The Bulldogs opened their season yesterday against No. 40 St. Mary’s.

The Wildcats will try to end the weekend on a good note on Saturday when they face the University of Nevada Wolf Pack (1-1).

Ben Roethlisberger should be in prison. Not for the charges we’ve all heard about relentlessly, but for fraud.

Or bad acting. Or stealing Bob Ross’ identity. His niceguy act during media week was vomit-inducing — I liked him better as a thug. That being said, I would never bet against him, and I really like Troy Polamalu.

“Look in your town, when you see me, you know everything. Green and yellow, green and yellow, green and yellow. I put it down, respectin’ for my team, I’m in green and yellow, green and yellow, green and yellow.” If Lil Wayne’s in green and yellow, I’m in green and yellow.

I just listened to Lil Wayne’s “Green and Yellow” Packer-themed rap song. While I can assure you that making Cheez Whiz puns about “Black and Yellow” creator Wiz Khalifa isn’t too difficult, I did appreciate the threat of Weezy cutting off Troy Polamalu’s hair — that’s gangsta (expletive).

So there’s a porn star offering oral sex to all her Twitter followers at the Super Bowl if the Steelers win this Sunday. No joke. “What could be more special than making a long line of horny men feel the pleasure that I’ll feel watching the Steelers win?” Diamond Foxxx said. Steeler fans who want in must pass an STD test (sorry Steelers fans!). Hopefully Big Ben gets a waiver.

I’ll be watching the hair battle between Green Bay’s Casey Matthews and Pittsburgh’s Troy Polamalu.

They bring different hair qualities — dark, curly locks against a straight blond mane — but whoever has the better hair day will give his team the edge, and that’s Polamalu. After all, he’s got the Head & Shoulders commercial.

No matter who wins the Super Bowl this Sunday, we’re all losers in the end. If the Steelers win, then we’ll here the Yinzers (and wannabe Yinzers) yapping for the next year. If the Packers win, then it’s the cheese heads we’ll have to put up with.

Steelers/Packers fans 1, the rest of football fans 0.

Brett Keisel will be busy with the squirrel on his face, Big Ben will be thinking about which sorority he will be hanging out with and James Harrison will be sending another check to the NFL. Big Ben will be rushed all night with a new center handling the ball.

For all the talk of their hallowed “Frozen Tundra,” this year’s Packers team has actually been better in the cozy confines of a dome. Anything that makes Aaron Rodgers comfortable is going to give the Steelers fits and the Packers’ defense will make sure Ben Roethlisberger gets well acquainted with the turf in Jerry World.
