UA, city recover from cold snap By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The UA and Tucson continue the return to normalcy following complications from last week’s cold weather. Tucson Water said that regular service has returned to the 1,400 homes that lost their utilities on Thursday and Friday. Some houses are still without water, due to individual plumbing issues, not problems with the municipal water service, according to a press release from Tucson Water Spokesman Fernando Molina. The 18-degree low on Friday was one degree warmer than the coldest February temperature in Tucson’s recorded history, which was Feb. 7, 1899. Both Thursday and Friday set new record lows for those days.
Tucson Fire Department officials said at least two people died seemingly as a result of the frigid weather. At the UA, some buildings continue to suffer from water and heating issues. “We probably had 20 buildings that were affected that had no water yesterday (Friday),” said Chris Kopach, director of Facilities Management. More than 100 employees, pulled from all areas of Facilities Management, have been “all over the place” working to restore the campus, according to Kopach. “They all worked as one good team,” Kopach said. Water has been restored to all buildings on campus, though crews will need to continue to work in order to repair broken pipes and water lines. Facilities Management worked with Southwest Gas Corporation and now
the gas pressure is up and running. Heat has been restored to most buildings but a few, such as Slonaker House, are still having problems. Repairs are being prioritized and “everything is safe,” Kopach said. The UA has yet to release a statement regarding the damage caused by the rupturing water pipes around campus, but these issues are not expected to interrupt the UA’s class schedule for the week. Luke Money contributed reporting to this story.

Record low temperatures on Wednesday night were likely the cause of this burst water pipe outside of a Sixth Street house. Many Tucsonans awoke to water and other utility problems on Thursday morning as a result of the cold.
GRO shift to begin
Packers 31, Steelers 25
By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT General education, math and chemistry courses are among those most frequently repeated using the grade replacement opportunity. More than 36,000 courses were repeated using the GRO between fall 2004 and spring 2008, including more than 1,550 different classes, according to data from the Undergraduate Council. Many of the courses are repeated to boost grade point averages and not because students fail them, according to Faculty Senate Chairwoman Wanda Howell. Faculty Senate amended the grade replacement opportunity last year so that students will only be eligible if they have completed less than 60 credits at the university starting in fall 2011. Grades of “C,” “D” and “E” can still be replaced using the program.

Egyptian professor talks of home Faculty set
to talk final exam times
Journalism instructor offers her insight, opinion on recent uprising By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Shahira Fahmy, associate professor of journalism, was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and lived in Cairo for nearly 20 years. The Daily Wildcat talked with Fahmy to discuss the recent political uprising in Egypt and her struggle to communicate with family members in the country. Daily Wildcat: Do you still have family in Cairo? Fahmy: Yeah, I still have lots of family. My parents are there. They’re U.S. citizens, but they’re there. It was a bit hard because last week I couldn’t reach them. They had no Internet. I couldn’t call them because they had no cell phone access and so it was kind of scary in a way. Have you been able to reach your family since then? They’ve actually been calling me, but I have not been able to call them. Actually, today, my mom emailed me, so she has Internet access. That was something new. I know that the day before, they had a number you could call and have a voicemail tweet because people were not able to get on Facebook or tweet or any of those social networks. So that was interesting, they kind of developed that for Egypt. What kinds of things have you been hearing from your family? One of the things is when it first started, they

were in Alexandria, which is a Mediterranean city on the beach, and they were kind of in a gated compound, so they felt safe. Later, they said that people tried to break the gates, so they were kind of scared. Then they went to Cairo, which is two and a half hours away, but it took them six hours because they had to stop. But they were thrilled when they got home. Because just, like, they say in the media, there are young people that are acting like the police. Whatever weapons they can get, of course they don’t have guns there, but whatever they can get they use to protect the neighborhood. And then of course, they stocked up on food and things like that. I’ve heard from my friends there that a lot of them are happy about the revolution but they’re very unhappy about the violence. What was your reaction considering you have such close ties there? First, of course I was really worried. But I also felt like this revolution was sort of overdue. I kind of expected it to happen at least a decade ago if not more. It wasn’t really surprising that it happened, it was just that it happened while I had family there. In terms of the revolution itself, it had to happen. People are really craving democracy, and the economy is really bad. There’s just a lot that the people and the Egyptian population really need but don’t get. Just consider 40 percent of the Egyptian population is under the poverty line. They live with their parents, they

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA Faculty Senate will meet for the first time this semester today from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. During the meeting, the Undergraduate Council will ask the Faculty Senate to approve an amendment to final exam regulations. The proposed amendment would require that instructors of online classes offered during a regular semester give their final exam during the last exam period on the last day of final exam week or allow the exam to be taken at the student’s convenience any time during final exam week. The rationale for the change is that instructors of online classes requested a specific time period for their final exams. The Office of the Registrar suggested the last period of the

On Khaled Said, a symbol of the revolution: He was beaten to death last June by two policemen because he was trying to post on the Internet police brutality on YouTube. He was taken from the Internet café and beaten to death … He really became the icon of the revolution. I think that’s something a lot of people here are not familiar with.

GRades continued from page 1 “This is being used to improve grades over time, and this really isn’t the point of it,” said Howell, a nutritional sciences professor. The change aims to correct misconceptions about the process, said George Gehrels, a geosciences professor and chair of the Undergraduate Council. “I think a lot of students use GRO to get rid of a course they took early on,” he said. “On their transcript, it not only appears, but it actually highlights it.” The intent of the grade replacement option is to provide a “forgiveness policy” for students transitioning to the university, Gehrels said. This process is less effective if students have already taken many classes. “It turns out that bumping up a GPA with a large number of credits is hard to do,” he said. Many of the courses most frequently repeated under the grade replacement opportunity are those typically taken by students in their first or second year of college. General education courses such as individuals and societies 102 and 101 ranked number one and two in most repeated courses, respectively, accounting for more than 9 percent of the total. Other general education courses including traditions and cultures 104, natural sciences 101 and natural sciences 104 were near the top of the list as well. Students also commonly repeated several math and chemistry courses. Howell said many students try to improve their grade point averages for graduate and medical school. “There’s no difference at all in the reported grade averages in those classes than others,” Howell said. “If it’s that much harder, the grade averages would be different, and that doesn’t appear to be the case.” Two Organic Chemistry classes, chemistry 241A and chemistry 241B, accounted for more than 4 percent of the total. “Students are very concerned about getting the best grade they can in the course because med schools look at that,” said Gary Spessard, adjunct lecturer in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Spessard said many students view receiving a “C” in the course as a “fatal error,” but the amount of information covered in Organic Chemistry makes the class difficult. “I think it’s just overwhelming for a
lot of students,” he said. Spessard said he is constantly aware of the course’s difficulty. “My goal is to try to make it as humane as possible,” he said. “We try to make it as straightforward as possible.” Economics 200 is another course frequently repeated with 684 students using the grade replacement opportunity. Mark Stegeman, an associate professor of economics who teaches the course, said sections include 350 to 400 students and 20 percent to 30 percent of the class receives “D’s” or “E’s” on average. “I have the impression sometimes that students who don’t do as well at the beginning of the semester check-out with the idea that they can GRO it,” Stegeman said. “Some of the people with ‘E’s’ didn’t even show up for the final exam.” Stegeman said the course is challenging because it is mathematical and some concepts are abstract. “It takes a fair amount of work,” Stegeman said. “Some people are inclined to do that.” Adaleta Avdic, a sophomore studying pre-business and psychology, did not fail economics 200 last semester but wanted to improve her grade. “I didn’t really want it on my transcript,” she said. Avdic said she had several friends in the class last semester, which was distracting. “I didn’t put in as much effort as I could have,” she said. Avdic said she wishes she was not in the position of retaking economics 200 but is happy the option is available. “It’s a lot easier this semester,” she said. “I’m pretty sure I can get an ‘A’ this time around.”
SENATE continued from page 1 last day of final exam week because few exams are scheduled during that period. The Undergraduate, Graduate and Academic Deans councils have already approved the proposed amendment. The amendment has also been approved via Administrative Review. There are currently no regulations regarding final exams of UA online classes. The Faculty Senate will also discuss their views on the Incentive Program for Voluntary Retirement, which offers eligible employees a year ’s salary if they choose to retire at the end of the academic year or summer session. The program will be offered beginning Jan. 28 and end on March 18. The Faculty Senate will also be addressing the University Assessment Model, Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics National Conference, strategic planning and faculty roles in strategic planning.

Murder by Death frontman Adam Turla’s music is a world inspired by other art — devil and all By Brandon Specktor ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Murder by Death may be the musical equivalent of a Quentin Tarantino film. They’re a modern twist on classic forms: the fourpiece lineup consists of guitar, bass, drums and cello . Old-school conventions of folk, rock, country, mariachi and Western murder
ballads meld in new-age tales of the devil waging war on Mexico, fathers teaching their sons how to live in a deadly world and celebrations of the simple things in life, like sweet Kentucky bourbon. Recently, the band’s song “Comin’ Home” was featured in the trailer for Tarantino’s
“Inglourious Basterds,” and last April the band released its fifth album, Good Morning, Magpie. In advance of MBD’s Tuesday show at the newly renovated Plush stage , Wildlife chatted with vocalist Adam Turla about travel, Tarantino and the devil-stressed world of his music.

We sometimes little horns or big ram’s horns, or sometimes figured the second that someone asked us to use a song in he’s got goat legs, and the imagery of the devil is just so a movie that it was going to be shit (laughs). awesome. Artists seem to love Murder by Death, and we get It’s such a cool idea for a movie. I love the idea of these incredible pieces of art. Last night we got an etching rewriting history just the way that you want it to be, and of a fox with feathers and a blade in his mouth, and the kid the idea that Hitler is killed in a movie theater by a bunch who gave it to us said it was inspired by our new album. of Jews — talk about an awesome alternate reality.

It’s cool to see the perception of that that time, I feel you’d have to be an outsider coming in character. bringing different images to it.

A reader complained to the dean of students about editorial policies at the Arizona Daily Wildcat. The dean of students replied, “you have sent (your email) to the appropriate people at the Arizona Daily Wildcat, so the decision makers will be aware of your concerns.” Another person wrote to the Wildcat that, “if your paper and it’s (sic) employees are being funded by the U of A through our tuition dollars and the taxes I pay,” then it should be different. The Arizona Daily Wildcat does not receive state or federal funding, nor does tuition pay for its printing. The Daily Wildcat reserves the right to editorial control and freedom by relying on advertising sales for paychecks, expenses and printing. In the past few years, the Daily Wildcat has also requested student fee money to pay for distribution and printing costs. However, the reporting and editing side of the newspaper does not receive any money. The Daily Wildcat has had numerous battles over the years with the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the UA administration. But the Wildcat has not bent to the demands of of�icials. Pass to the UA administration for respecting journalistic independence.

Tucson’s temperatures hit record lows last week. Tucson’s reaction was also a glorious low point. If you missed the high-pitched sounds of underdressed girls on campus wailing each time they stepped outside, it’s probably because you were at home, waiting for Southwest Gas to restore heat or a plumber to look at the pipes. Buildings �looded, pipes froze and burst, and students wearing two or three hoodies at one time slipped on ice, then looked to the frozen water on the ground in confusion. The poor preparation of Tucson made it a good day for plumbers, but a fail for weather.
Reaganomics: Yesterday marked the 100th birthday of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. As president, he is often remembered for telling people to tear down their walls (here’s looking at you, Mr. Gorbachev), and helping to end the Cold War by reaching out to the Soviets. Well, that combined with the pervasive idiocy with which the Soviets ran their government (put that in your glasnost and perestroika it). Reagan remains one of the most polarizing figures in politics, a hero to modern conservatism for his emphasis on curbing government spending and a pariah to liberals who say his policies were economically and socially regressive, and his movies sucked, too. But, in honor of his centennial, this one’s for the Gipper.

In the past year, there have been only two instances of fatalities because of a drunk driver in Tucson. However, there have been more than 600 cases of drunk drivers. Students are not the only ones who drink and drive, but the numbers are still there. You’ll read about students in Police Beat who were pulled over and claimed to only have had “a few drinks.” Tipsy driving is still drunk driving. An MIP is practically a rite of passage, but a DUI is a shame that can haunt you forever. Props to those college kids who can drink without a road trip chaser, but an incomplete because of students who don’t slam the brakes on the idea of a drunken late-night Taco Bell run.
Mark Kelly, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ husband , decided to go into space on a mission for NASA that he’s spent more than a year and a half training for. Some questioned his decision, saying his place was at his wife’s side. However, Kelly said Gabby would want this. Kelly gets a pass for doing what NASA has trained him to do, so that the mission would not have to be delayed or force another person without his experience or training to fill in. The world goes on; it’s something Tucson has come to know. Pass for the orbiting hero. Good luck.

Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinions of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.
Palo Alto: Facebook, which is currently headquartered in the city of Palo Alto, Calif ., is expected to move to the Silicon Valley city of Menlo Park, Calif. I know what you’re thinking, and no, that is not the name of a 1970s era sitcom; it’s a real city. Apparently “Palo Alto” is Spanish for “totally hosed.”
Balk like an Egyptian: Though embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has made several concessions to protestors in the country, including vowing not to run for reelection in September (like he did a few years back, but that’s neither here nor there), he has stopped short of the protestors’ ultimate goal, which is for him to, as they say in Egypt, kindly get the hell out. As protests in the country stretch into their second week, it remains to be seen if Mubarak, an important cog in U.S. foreign policy in the region, will take the next step so many apparently want him to.
Super Bowled over: Recent health studies show that the combination of high-stress sporting entertainment and fatty foods that usually permeate the Super Bowl could lead to an increase in heart attacks suffered on the day of the event. This year is expected to be especially bad because, come on, have you seen the typical person from Green Bay or Pittsburgh?
The Green Bay Packers: With its fourth Super Bowl title, and its first in more than a decade, the Packers finally exorcized the specter of … oh, shoot, what was his name? Brent? Their old quarterback and have brought the Lombardi Trophy to Lambeau Field, an event as historic as it is alliterative. However, the team’s Super Bowl triumph will continue to be scrutinized over allegations of using performance-enhancing dairy products to make the players’ bones too strong for the Steelers to break.

One of the Tucson shooting victims, Mary Reed , told The New York Times that her UAprovided insurance had been “unusually accommodating since the shooting, approving medicines and services in 24 hours, significantly faster than usual.” Many people have forgotten about the shooting survivors, who have to worry about the cost of medical care, so it’s heartening to see that Tucsonans have not overlooked the wounded. The Safeway, where the attack happened, and many groups around Tucson began raising money after the shooting. Here’s a pass for the UA-provided insurance for being “unusually” quick and helpful to those in pain. And a super pass for those helping alleviate the pressure of paying-off medical bills during recovery.
Temperatures: This one should be self-explanatory for anyone who had their gas or water service interrupted by last week’s cold snap, but it’s definitely fair to say that Tucson has been uncharacteristically brisk as of late. And not the good kind of brisk, like the tea or how you should walk around campus. It may never be said again, but here’s hoping that thermometer starts trending up soon.

ow that the Super Bowl has come and gone and a champion has been crowned, odds are people out there are talking to one another about the funny and not-sofunny commercials they saw on Sunday. However, what’s intriguing is the commercial that no one saw. Fixed Point Foundation, a Christianity advocacy group whose mission is to “promote a confident Christianity in the public square by fortifying the minds of Christians and challenging the faith of skeptics,” sought to show a 30-second advertisement during Super Bowl XLV but was eventually turned down by Fox Sports. The commercial shows a simulated football game with several fans in the stadium holding signs with “John 3:16” written on them, a reference to a bible verse. Then it shows the quarterback of the game with a bible verse written on his face in grease paint, serving as eye-black. The commercial then shows two
men watching the game at home on their television with confused looks on their faces. One of them then says that he will look up the verse, and the commercial ends by suggesting the television audience go to a website that tells them the words and meaning of the verse. According to The New York Times, Larry Taunton, executive director of the Fixed Point Foundation, said it was only fair if the foundation took advantage of the massive audience. “Corporate America uses its creativity and millions of dollars to come up with 30-second blasts to get you to buy a beer or Coke or tennis ball … I thought, ‘If I had 30 seconds to speak to a billion people, what would I say?’” So in other words, if Coke gets to sell their product, why can’t the church? The only problem is that Jesus Christ is not a product, nor is any other deity or practice of any faith. If players want to wear their religion on their sleeves (or faces), that is absolutely understandable and acceptable. If
they want to pray at the beginning or end of a game, or even make an expression of faith after a great play, that too is fine. However, we need to keep the steeples separate from the Steelers, keep the padres away from the Packers and, most importantly, let’s not bastardize religion like it’s a tasty soft drink. Commercialism and corporate advertising are things we knock for a reason. They forcefeed us Doritos, Pepsi, Gap clothing and countless terrible movies. The advertising is notoriously irrelevant to the product it’s selling, and it later becomes fodder for mockery. So, is that something we really want to see religion become a part of? Religion is not Frito-Lay, and Jesus Christ (or any religious figure for that matter) is not the newest tasty chip product. So please, to those who wish to purchase bus advertisements or billboards, just stop. Religion is a lifestyle that we’re all free to choose on our own. We ought to find our own reasons and answers for committing to a faith, not be persuaded by a 30-second commercial. I don’t think Jesus, God, Moses, Mohammed or Brahman care one iota about the Super Bowl, or its funny and clever commercials. — Storm Byrd is a political science sophomore.

Green Bay Packers running back James Starks, 44, brings down Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel, 99, during third quarter action in Super Bowl XLV where the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Sunday.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE ARLINGTON, Texas — The Cheese stands alone. The Packers denied the Steelers a chance to hoist the trophy named after the patron saint of Green Bay for a seventh time and are bringing the silver football back home to Wisconsin. The Packers scored 21 points off three turnovers and withstood a nearly historic comeback to hang on for a 31-25 win Sunday night in Super Bowl XLV. Pittsburgh may still have the most Super Bowl championships, but the Packers made sure they didn’t get another on their watch. As commissioner Roger Goodell said when he handed the trophy to the Packers: “Vince Lombardi is coming home to Green Bay.” MVP Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards and no turnovers. The win not only cemented Rodgers’ place in Green Bay lore but also justified one of the most controversial decisions in team history, cutting ties with Brett Favre in 2008. The Steelers did make the evening entertaining, bouncing almost all the way
back from an 18-point deficit by inching to within three with 7:34 left. They made it 28-25 on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Mike Wallace and a two-point conversion run on an option by Antwaan Randle El. The Packers ate up more than five minutes but came away with only a field goal and a still tenuous six-point lead. Then Roethlisberger threw three straight incompletions to turn it over on downs. The final pass was a high one for Wallace on fourthand-5 at the Pittsburgh 33. The deciding touchdown came after Clay Matthews forced a fumble by Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall and the Packers, who had been flat and discombobulated for most of the second half, marched 55 yards for a 28-17 lead. The big play was a 38yard pass to Jordy Nelson on a crossing route on third-and-10, but the points came when Rodgers stared the entire Steelers defense to its right, then came back to Greg Jennings, open in the right corner of the end zone.

Football vs. Gleeks Celebration split between Super Bowl Sunday and the return of Glee

By Johanna Willett ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT FOX’s decision to put “Glee” in the post-Super Bowl slot came as a surprise. The biggest football game of the year and a high-school comedy about a show choir of losers don’t exactly draw similar audiences. But maybe this is what FOX had in mind. “These are two different audiences,” said Cody Franz, a freshman studying molecular and cellular biology. “You have the sports fanatics, and then the artsy type who are probably going to watch (‘Glee’) after the Super Bowl.” Briana Ortega, a veterinary sciences freshman, watches the Super Bowl ever year, but is also looking forward to “Glee.” “I love the singing and dancing,” Ortega said. “I’m much more entertained by ‘Glee.’ I could watch ‘Glee’ every Tuesday, but not football.” For some, the Super Bowl isn’t about football at all. That whole competition between — who was it again? — the Steelers and Packers took a backseat. Franz, a Chicago Bears fan, doesn’t root for either team, but he still watched the game on Sunday. “I hate both teams,” Franz said. “I love the competition of the game, and I (wanted) to see both teams beat up on each other.” Those who don’t care about the touchdowns hunker down to watch witty commercials and mediocre halftime shows. When the football comes back on, they take a snack break.
Ortega, a member of the Sky View Apartments Residence Hall council, planned a Super Bowl pre-game party for the residence hall. “Everyone was talking about the traditional foods like hot dogs and hamburgers,” Ortega said. “Every year, we would have vegetable and fruit trays, and my sister and I would make desserts. When I suggested that, the rest of hall council freaked out. It wasn’t Super Bowl-y enough.” Even the “Glee” cast got into the spirit of these tasty traditions, posting a recipe video on the show’s website before the Super Bowl. Heather Morris, who plays Brittany, prefers chocolate-covered peanut butter balls. Mr. Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison , recommended his Amazing Chili Cream-Cheese Dip. Junk food, football and friends create the ideal Super Bowl party, but Ortega has some other ideas for a party worthy of her inner Gleek . “I would get some other girls and we would have a dance party and maybe incorporate some karaoke,” Ortega said. “We would have food besides hamburgers and hot dogs. Less manly food.” Perhaps FOX hoped that as Mr. Schuester and Coach Beiste tried to unify the belligerent glee club and football team at McKinley High , the same thing would happen around America. In any case, the multi-million dollar, postgame time slot that aimed to keep eyes glued to the screen, succeeded.

POLICEBEAT By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Out of state ‘green’ card
An odor of marijuana coming from a resident’s room in the Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall was reported to the University of Arizona Police Department on Thursday at 7:29 p.m. A UAPD officer responded to the dorm and met with a resident assistant. The RA showed the officer up to the room where the odor was reported. The officer knocked on the door and smelled a moderate odor of marijuana in the air when the resident opened the door. The officer asked to enter the room and the residents denied entry. The officer asked them into the hall. One of the residents denied smoking marijuana and said that he believed that his roommate had a water pipe behind the desk. The other resident admitted to smoking marijuana and allowed the officer to search the room. The officer found ground marijuana in a plastic bag and a glass grinder. “It hits you harder and leaves you faster,” the resident said about why the marijuana was ground. The resident also gave his California medical marijuana permit to the officer. The officer advised the student that a prescription for marijuana in California is not valid in Arizona. The officer cited and released the student for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia at 7:45 p.m.
Student has seizure while driving
A female UA student was taken to the University Medical Center after having a seizure on Thursday at 11:21 p.m. A UAPD officer was traveling on Helen Street and noticed a car pulled over near Mountain Avenue with its passenger door wide open. The officer pulled up behind the car and a woman ran to the officer’s vehicle. The woman said that the driver of the car was having a seizure. The officer immediately called for medical assistance and went to check on the driver. The student still appeared to be having a seizure, and the officer attempted to calm her down to prevent her from banging her head. Tucson Fire Department emergency medical personnel arrived on scene and transported the driver to UMC. The passengers of the vehicle said that the driver had just come from an argument with an ex-boyfriend. The driver could feel herself beginning to have a seizure and pulled over. One of the passengers called to notify the driver’s parents.
Busted pipe on Park Avenue
A UAPD officer found a broken pipe in the ceramics area of the Esquire Apartments at 1230 N. Park Ave. The officer was in the vicinity regarding another call when a man informed the officer that a pipe was leaking in the building. The officer went into the apartment complex and noticed a burst pipe due to the extreme cold weather. The water was flowing down over the lights and kiln area in the shop, creating an electric shock hazard. The officer was able to turn off the electricity to the area, but the pipe maintenance was postponed due to the amount of other pipes bursting in the area. 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.

Catholic Church issues guide on how to convert witches LONDON — Five hundred years ago, the Catholic Church had a simple way of dealing with witches: It burned them alive. The Vatican still views these broom botherers as a danger, but is now calling on Catholics to eliminate the neo-pagan problem in a more moderate manner. According to a new booklet from the Catholic Truth Society — the U.K. publishers for the Holy See — the faithful can convert Wiccans by following a few simple steps.
FAST FACTS •George Washington and Thomas
The pamphlet, titled “Wicca and Witchcraft: Understanding the Dangers,” suggests that Catholics spark up conversations with these unbelievers about shared concerns such as the environment, The Telegraph reports. The booklet’s author, former Wiccan Elizabeth Dodd, states that nearly 70 percent of people indulging in witchcraft are young women seeking some kind of spirituality, according to the Daily Mail. The source of that statistic

isn’t clear, but some 7,000 Brits identified themselves as Wiccans in the 2001 census. So why does the Vatican once again feel that it needs to confront pagan practitioners? The Daily Mail says that the church is afraid the dark arts are becoming ever more tempting thanks to the success of Harry Potter. Dodd says that any youngster who dabbles in magic risks long-term problems. — AOL News

Alfred Guichard Orange Cab driver Tell me your best, goto joke. Why did the midget start laughing when he was running? ... Because the grass was tickling his balls. What is something you want people to know about you Al, anything you have always wanted to reveal to the average person? I have two tattoos. There’s a tree limb on the inside of my left leg with a squirrel running up it and on my right side, on the inside of my right thigh, with the same squirrel running down with a nut in his mouth. What does that symbolically represent? That I only have one nut. You have such a great laugh and share it so openly with UA students, how do you do it? It’s a reciprocal type of thing. It’s a back and forth relationship really. Give us some advice, just for a night or just life in general? If I were to say anything to you guys or to the students, don’t take anything for granted. Life is too short, unpredictable, you never know what is going to happen to you the next day. Take nothing for granted.

GYMCATS continued from page 12 began before the meet even started since all-around performer, Molly Quirk, came down with an illness and could only participate in two events. Ryden also said he felt the ladies were a bit lackadaisical warming up for their first event. “I was kind of worried about the team,” Ryden said after his team improved to 4-1. “Not a whole lot of energy, and I really got after them in the locker room. I told them that we had to show up, and they came out with fire.” Despite the lack of energy, the Wildcats came out strong in the first two events, never having to count a score below a 9.700. However, their struggles on beam continue to plague them. Deanna Graham and Jordan Williams fell off the beam during their routines and there were some slight wobbles. “We just couldn’t put it down, we were without Molly (Quirk) tonight and we couldn’t make up for it,” said assistant coach John Court. “We want Molly back. Molly hasn’t missed a floor rou-
tine all year.” Court did add that he was happy with Ellen Pitluck’s beam routine, who was subbed in for Quirk. Pitluck earned a career high of 9.775 during her set. Things took a turn for the better toward the end of the night as the three Wildcats earned career-high scores. Katie Matusik scored a 9.900 on the beam and Aubree Cristello matched her with the same score during her floor routine. “It was such a good feeling,” Matusik said. “The second I landed my routine, I was just happy.” The highlight of the night, though, came from redshirt senior Miranda Russell. Russell earned a career high of 9.925 during her floor routine to end the night for Arizona. Everybody in the arena erupted when the judges revealed her score, as Russell basked in the moment with her teammates. “She is having a great senior campaign,” Ryden said. “Very proud of her. I wouldn’t want it any different.” The Wildcats will be on the road this week as they head to North Carolina State for a Saturday meet.

PACKERS continued from page 5 “I had a corner route and they dropped me and let me run free the play before,” Jennings said. “They dropped me on another corner route and we came back to it and scored.” It was a Packers season defined by the ability to overcome injury — 14 players landed on injured reserve — and that story line continued through the end of the Super Bowl, with a playmaker from each side of the ball sitting out the second half. Cornerback Charles Woodson and wide receiver Donald Driver left with injuries, but were able to enjoy the confetti shower with tears in their eyes. Driver said he was shattered when told he would not return to the game, but the medical staff urged him to gather his emotions. “It was the great resolve of our football team,” Mike McCarthy said after joining Lombardi and Mike Holmgren as the only coaches to win a ring in Green Bay. “It was a very emotional halftime,” he add-

ed, a reference to the knowledge that the team would have to continue without the key players. The Packers scored two touchdowns in 24 seconds to take a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter. Nelson caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers over backup cornerback William Gay. On the next snap, safety Nick Collins picked off a Roethlisberger floater and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown. Roethlisberger was trying to go down the left sideline for Wallace, but he was hit in his throwing shoulder by former Jet Howard Green as he released the pass and it came up about 10 yards short of its target. Collins zigged through attempts at tackles before lunging over the goal line for the 13th interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl history. “I was able to read Big Ben and got a nice jump on the ball,” Collins said, understatedly calling it “the highlight of my day.” The Packers used another interception to score their third touchdown, although not directly. Jarrett Bush reached in and

snatched a pass from the grip of Wallace to give the Packers the ball just inside midfield. Four plays later, Rodgers scorched a pass into triple coverage for Jennings, who caught it for a 21yard touchdown and a 21-3 lead despite a clobbering at the goal line from Defensive Player of the Year Troy Polamalu. No Super Bowl winner had ever overcome more than a 10-point deficit, but the Steelers started mounting a rally before halftime, driving 77 yards on seven plays. After Roethlisberger hit Hines Ward on a 17-yard pass to the 8, Big Ben took a shotgun snap, rolled right and lofted a pass over Bush for Ward to make it 21-10 with 39 seconds left in the second quarter. The Steelers inched even closer early in the third, driving 50 yards — all on the ground — to score on Mendenhall’s 8-yard run behind pulling guard Chris Kemoeatu and make it 21-17. Steeler Shaun Suisham’s 52-yard field-goal try that went wide left was the last scoring opportunity for either team in the third quarter.
Pettitte candidate for HOF MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Not sure exactly why, but it always seemed that Andy Pettitte and Harry Connick Jr. shared some DNA. Maybe it was as simple as the way Pettitte talked — as much Cajun as Texan — or how naturally he would lock his eyes on whatever crossed his path. Pettitte was soulful and stylish but also as tough as barbed wire. He was the ultimate sidekick, a guy who in another era always would have been in demand for rides up the Chisholm Trail.
He was a 22nd-round pick of the Yankees in 1990, a draft in which they took Carl Everett in the first round and Dutch infielder Robert Eenhoorn in the second round. In the 24th round, they took a Puerto Rican high school shortstop named Jorge Posada. Both Pettitte and Posada played junior college baseball before signing on back-to-back days as the ‘91 draft approached, the Yankees unwilling to see them go back into the draft pool. Talk about franchise-shaping decisions. After dabbling with the idea
of retirement for four years, the 38-year-old Pettitte finally made that call Friday. Rather than head to Florida in a couple of weeks, he will stay home with his wife, Laura, who was in the stands when he pitched his Deer Park High team in the Houston suburbs to within one victory of a Texas championship, and their four children. Pettitte essentially worked another 1 1/2 seasons in those 13 Octobers, throwing 263 innings in 42 starts, 13 of which came in the World Series.

Q If it’s illegal to pay for sex,
how do porn stars get paid?
A. The short answer is that while prostitutes are paid for sexual gratification, porn stars are paid to act. Believe it or not, this is the slight distinction that makes porn legal, unlike sex for hire. According to the law, actors who engage in pornography are actors first – the fact that sex is part of the role is incidental. The First Amendment protects free speech, which over time has been extended to include the freedom of expression and a wide range of “artistic” pursuits, including films that depict graphic sex. In fact, the law has even shaped where porn is produced. Just as California is home to Hollywood and the motion picture industry, the 1988 California Supreme Court ruling of California vs. Freeman afforded additional protections in the Golden State, thereby leading to the proliferation of adult films there. In the case, Harold Freeman, an adult film producer/director was convicted of pandering (pimping) while hiring adult film actors, but appealed the sentence. When the California Supreme Court overturned his conviction on the
grounds that the purpose of the film was not for the sexual gratification of himself or the actors involved, the charges were dropped on the basis of rights afforded by the First Amendment. Arousal on the part of the film’s consumers, however central to its production, was not deemed relevant to the case. An attempt to appeal this decision to the United States Supreme Court was denied, allowing the 1988 ruling to stand, and with it, the open production of pornography in California. Porn purveyors outside of California have, in turn, viewed the ruling as evidence that they face little risk of prosecution, and so far this has largely gone unchallenged. The Freeman case was not the first to address pornography and will not likely be the last. Back in 1964, the topic of what constitutes porn yielded perhaps the most famous quote ever uttered by a member of the Supreme Court, when Justice Potter Stewart acknowledged the subjective and elusive definition of obscenity, by simply stating “I know it when I see it.”

’Cats overcome injury for weekend sweep By Zack Rosenblatt ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Despite an injury to senior leader Andres Carrasco, the Arizona men’s tennis team bounced back from two losses last weekend to take care of business back at the LaNelle Robson Center. The Wildcats recorded two dominating victories over University of the Pacific and Northern Arizona. On Friday, the No. 42 ranked Wildcats handily defeated the Pacific, winning two out of three doubles matches and four singles matches. The doubles team of freshman Andre Vidaller and junior Jason Zafiros remained undefeated with an 8-4 victory. Freshman Mario Urquidi clinched the match for the Wildcats in his singles debut. Arizona’s domination continued into Sunday when it swept NAU by a score of 7-0. The doubles point didn’t come easy however, as the Lumberjacks kept each doubles match close. “We could have played better in doubles today, we came out a little tentative. We weren’t being as aggressive as I wanted them to be,” said head coach Tad Berkowitz. Four of the six Wildcats participating in doubles were freshmen. Freshman Giacomo Miccini and senior Geoff Embry fought hard for a 9-7 victory over NAU’s Hugo Ramadier and Dominic Bermudez. On court three, after starting out with a 5-0 lead, NAU’s David Flodberg and Robin Pezzuto came back and
W-HOOPS continued from page 12 and beat you inside and outside. Half of their shot were 3s, half of their shots were 2s, and they shot about 50 percent from both of them.” The loss was Arizona’s fourth straight, and the Wildcats have dropped seven of their last nine. Butts said that Arizona is still focused on what it can do to improve, and that includes playing its own brand of basketball. “We have to play Arizona basketball and continue to improve and grind and play physical,” Butts said. “We aren’t going to let this game affect us and how we play the rest of the season. We didn’t quit, we continued to play and compete.” Senior forward Ify Ibekwe, who led Arizona with 19 points , said that she
ZIMMERMAN continued from page 12 with his slickness. Maybe he’s bled the meaning from his consistent “I’m from Harlem” mantra and forgotten to play like he was back at Rucker Park. Because to be successful, Momo had to realize he needed to be Momo — straight out of Harlem. Play with passion. Don’t turn the ball over. Direct an offense. That’s Jones, and that’s what he’s done for the past four games. It was Jones’ two 17-point games last week and correlating Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Week award that were the beginning of proving doubters wrong — you know, those who said he wasn’t a point guard. Seemingly, Jones learned the epic quandary of point guard play — when to set up the offense and run it, and when to take it upon himself to score. This weekend, Jones had it. With 16 seconds left in regulation and his Wildcats down by three, it was Jones flying to the right side of the basket at full speed and using his patented floater over Cal big man Mark Sanders-Frison, the forward
doesn’t see a difference between this year ’s dominant Stanford team and some of the Cardinal’s teams in recent years. “They’re well coached and they still have the same system,” Ibekwe said. “There’s not much of a difference from now and any of my other years here, they have shooters inside and outside.” Even though Arizona was out-rebounded 46-34, Butts said that she saw signs of progress after rebounding has been a concern all season. “We didn’t rebound particularly well,” Butts said, “but we were getting in better positions.” The Wildcats don’t get another chance to snap their skid until next Sunday when they host rival ASU, which blew out Arizona 75-43 in their meeting earlier this year.

won 7-5. On court two, after falling behind early on, freshman Sam Barr and senior Borja Malo came back to clinch the doubles point for the Wildcats. The singles portion of the match was not as close. “I was really impressed with their intensity and attitude in singles. (They) did a great job just simply taking care of business. Showed some professionalism out there and did a great job just taking care of business,” Berkowitz said. All six Wildcats won their singles matches with ease, but Berkowitz thought that a freshman stood out among the performances. “I thought Kieren Thompson did a nice a job. He’s a freshman and he just arrived in January and he kind of turned the corner a bit today and I was pleased with his results,” Berkowitz said. Thompson faced NAU’s Josh Brown on court six, and came out swinging his way to an early 5-0 lead. After ending the first set with a 6-2 win, Thompson finished off Brown with a 6-1 win in the second set. The Women’s tennis team traveled out to Fresno, Calif., to face Fresno State University and the University of Nevada and came back to Tucson with one win. The Wildcats started off their match on Friday sweeping all three doubles matches, but was unable to have the same sort of success in singles. Natasha Marks and Sarah Landsman were the only Wildcats to come out victorious in singles.
SEAN MILLER UA HEAD BASKETBALL COACH
nudging him and picking up a foul. And-1. Made free throw. Defensive stop. First overtime. Down three points in the second overtime with seven seconds left, Jones crossed over the Golden Bear defender, drove left and pulled up, feet square, atop the key for a 3-pointer to tie the game. A cold-hearted hit. Both his 3-point plays were further proof that last season’s game-winning shot at Stanford wasn’t an anomaly. He lives for the bright lights and big shots. Jones still has room to grow. In the first overtime, he took an out-ofrhythm 3-pointer in trying to win the game at the buzzer. Lesson learned, and luckily Jones had another overtime to shine. Yes, still a sophomore, there’s bound to be a bump or two in the road for Jones, who will continue to take the criticism of being a scorer and not true lead guard. But this we do know: to measure success, expectations must rest on Jones being who he is, not a conception of any other point guard from Arizona’s past. — Kevin Zimmerman is a journalism senior.

Becoming Momo
PAC-10 BASEBALL RANKINGS
Sophomore point guard taking charge as scorer, leader
By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After going 34-24 overall and 12-15 in Pacific 10 Conference play a year ago, the Arizona baseball team enters the 2011 season ranked in several preseason collegiate baseball polls. The Wildcats are ranked No. 19 by Baseball America, No. 22 by Collegiate Baseball, and No. 25 by both the USA Today/ESPN Coaches’ poll and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll. But high national rankings don’t necessarily mean elite status in the conference, especially not the loaded Pac-10. Arizona was picked to finish fifth in the conference by the Pac-10 Preseason Coaches’ poll. UA returns 2010 all-conference selections Kurt Heyer, the team’s ace, Jett Bandy, a catcher, and outfielder Steve Selsky. The Wildcats also return 10 players who started at least 20 games a season ago. The Wildcats open the season on Feb. 18 with a three-game series against North Dakota State.
COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman sports writer
Gone was the tentativeness, the mind-boggling decisions and the heaviness growing among critics that point guard Momo Jones could possibly slip into anonymity if he didn’t get his act together. Back was the tenacity, the hard-nosed drives to the hoop and the clutch shots that are so easily imprinted on our minds 20 years down the road, when we reminisce about Arizona basketball. There were two plays in Arizona’s 107-105 victory at California on Saturday that lent evidence that there’s more to Jones than the ballplayer who fails to record the bunches of assists Arizona fans have unfairly expected. Two months ago, Sean Miller fielded questions about the Harlem-bred Jones, many of which concerned his abilities to run the team. The head coach made no big deal of Jones’ struggles with turnovers, nor his box scores dry of assists, nor his tentativeness. Just as his freshman year progressed, Miller believed Jones would find himself halfway through the conference schedule of his sophomore season, finding a groove as a starting point guard just as he did as the back up to Nic Wise. Right again, Mr. Miller. Jones is not going to be Mustafa Shakur, an all-around talent absent of a killer instinct. Nor would he become Jerryd Bayless, a freak athlete with an angry brand of offensive basketball. And Jones wasn’t going to be his predecessor, Wise, a crafty ball-handler that won ZIMMERMAN, page 11

By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona gymnastics team worked out some of its kinks with a win over the University of Illinois at Chicago but still strug-
gled during the beam event after having two gymnasts fall. Even with a season high score of 195.400-193.450, the coaching staff was only slightly impressed with the team’s performance. “I like that we are getting better

The Arizona women’s basketball team just didn’t have an answer for No. 4 Stanford, which routed the Wildcats 91-61 behind senior guard Jeanette Pohlen ’s 17 points. Stanford (20-2, 11-0 Pacific 10 Conference) jumped out to an 11-0 lead in the game’s first three minutes — a stretch that saw the Wildcats shoot 0-of-4 and commit two turnovers. Davellyn Whyte then hit a
two-point jumper to get the Wildcats (13-9, 4-7 Pac-10) on the board, but that was the closest they got to Stanford for the remainder of Saturday afternoon. The Cardinal coasted to its 48th straight Pac-10 victory — tying its own record — and 19th straight over Arizona. “Stanford is probably the best team in the country,” said Arizona head coach Niya Butts. “They’re super efficient W-HOOPS, page 11
