Thousands of international students choose the UA as their destination for foreign study By Mariah Davidson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Roughly 80 international students are studying at the UA this semester through the Student Exchange program. About 65 came to the UA last semester according to Laura Thornes, assistant director of the Office of Study Abroad and Student Exchange. Thornes said many of the students this semester are from
Ireland, but the demographic changes by semester. “It is very important to study abroad for the sake of exploring unknown territory and gaining new experiences,” said Angelica Arenzana Lopez, an international student studying communication and a student assistant in the division of International Affairs. Lopez came to the UA because she “liked the campus and the weather.”
“It’s very important to be in a place that makes you feel happy,” Lopez said, “and that’s how I felt when I saw the campus.” In addition to the international students participating in the exchange, thousands of international students choose to study at the UA each year. The UA hosted 2,889 foreign students during the 2009-2010 academic year, and 2,913 attended the year before, accord-
ing to the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs and the Institute of International Education. Juan Pedro Cota Carrasco, an international student, said he chose to study at the UA because of his major in aerospace engineering. Carrasco said it is important to become an “international citizen.” Dale Lafleur, assistant director of International Affairs,
said international study “fosters mutual understanding and allows students to develop leadership skills and the capacity to address challenges both locally and globally.” Fifty-seven percent of people said international study is very essential or moderately essential to the educational experience, according to a public opinion survey by the National Association for Foreign Student EXCHANGE, page 3
Faculty opposes guns on campus Senate votes to oppose new bills that loosen firearms restrictions By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA Faculty Senate voted to oppose proposed state laws increasing the presence of guns on campus and chose to align with the TUSD Mexican-American Studies Program. In the resolution, the Faculty Senate said it “emphatically opposes H.B. 2001 and H.B. 2014, which increase the number of guns on campus and endanger the safety of faculty, students and staff.” If passed, the bills would make it legal for a faculty member who has a valid permit to have a concealed firearm on the campus of a community college or public university, and that no university, college or community college can enact a rule that prohibits the possession of a concealed weapon by a person who has a valid permit. “Firearms have no place in an academic environment,” said Laura McCammon, an associate professor in the School of Theatre, Film and Television. Anthony Jull, a geosciences professor, said he heard many faculty members say they will not continue to teach if guns are welcomed on campus. The senate voted to endorse the Tucson Unified School District Mexican-American Studies Program by a vote of 30 to 7. The program has been generating controversy since state Attorney General Tom Horne, the former Arizona superintendent of public instruction, called for the program’s demise last year. Members of the senate decided the program draws on research in the Ethnic Studies field, is a “pedagogically sound” program and yields graduates who become UA students who make valuable contributions both in and beyond the classroom. Although many in favor wanted to amend the resolution to include statistical data regarding how the program enables improved academic achievement for students who participate, Andy Silverman, Joseph M. Livermore professor of law and director of Clinical Program,

Members of the fraternity Delta Tau Delta stand proudly in front of their house’s crest on Monday. Sophomore President Jack Donohue is very excited about the changes the fraternity has made.
Delta Tau Delta’s fresh start By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The Delta Tau Delta fraternity is in the process of re-organizing its brotherhood after 70 members were asked to leave last semester. Following a freshman orientation party broken up by
the police, the Alumni Support Committee from the Delta Tau Delta National Headquarters visited the fraternity during fall 2010 and “saw the way things were going and didn’t like it,” according to Jack Donohue, the fraternity president and a prebusiness sophomore.
The Delta Tau Delta alumni interviewed all 110 members and decided to keep 24. “A lot of us didn’t even wat to go through the process to stay in because of the hassle and most of our friends were getting dropped,” said Scott Cunningham, a mining engineering junior.
The committee reviewed the members based on two rubrics: the chapter assessment and the National Fraternal Award and Accreditation Report. The majority of the members did not score well, and many members who lived in FRATERNITY, page 2
Campus Health talks sex as Valentine’s Day approaches By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students will have access to information on sexual health and relationships before Valentine’s Day during SexTalk Week. Campus Health Service and other campus and community agencies will host events such as a resource fair, an interactive presentation and the Vagina Monologues.
INSIDE Opinions: Police Beat: Odds & Ends: Classifieds: Comics: Sports:
The event is held annually around the second week of February, according to Lee Ann Hamilton, assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventative Services. Many of the events focus on providing information. A resource fair will bring together nearly 15 campus and community resources on Wednesday. Nurse practitioners and pharmacists will be available to
answer questions on the UA Mall, according to Hamilton. Planned Parenthood, the Student Health Advisory Committee and the Southern Arizona Aids Foundation are among the other included agencies. “Information is the most important thing,” Hamilton said. “It’s the chance to get their questions answered.” Campus Health Service will also have a bed on the Mall, Hamilton

said. Participants will answer questions on pink hearts and pin them to the bedspread.

continued from page 1 the house had to move out. Donohue said he has mixed emotions about what happened. “It’s a good opportunity to start fresh, be in charge and run things how they should be,� he said. Donohue also said he is working on getting a good executive and administrative board to follow rules. This includes completing the required hours of community service, hosting philanthropies and registering social events. “It’s a responsibility issue,� said Oliver Soleiman, the vice president of Delta Tau Delta and a prebusiness sophomore. “The old executive board stopped caring and got off track. Now people are more intelligent and responsible.� The fraternity was on probation with either the UA or its national chapter for eight consecutive semesters since spring 2006, and sometimes both at the same time. The probation ended in spring 2010, and some of the fraternity members held a party for students participating in freshman orientation during the summer. Police broke up the party and an attendee received a minor in possession citation. The party was 46 days after the fraternity’s probation ended. It alarmed the alumni, who were already frustrated with the fraternity‘s behavior, according to
SENATE
Soleiman. “I was freaking out after I got the call about the party,� he said. “We were all so frustrated that it happened.� The new executive board is planning many events for this semester including a booth at Spring Fling with the Chi Omega sorority, date dashes and a Greekwide philanthropy event. “It should be a pretty fun time,� Donohue said. “We are trying to do a bunch of new things around here.� Delta Tau Delta now has about 60 members, according to Donohue. They gave out 14 bids during Spring Rush and all 14 men accepted their bids. Some of the old members, such as Cunningham, miss being a part of the fraternity. “It (Delta Tau Delta) really made me feel like I was connected to the university somehow besides class,� he said. “It was too bad that this small incident over the summer when nobody was here was what basically killed our fraternity.� Cunningham said one of the many good memories he had was Anchorsplash, Delta Gamma’s annual weeklong philanthropy event. Since the membership review began, there were many rumors circling the fraternity about their loss of members. “Most of the rumors aren’t true, the fraternity getting kicked off never actually happened,� Soleiman said. “Greek Life is like a high school when it comes to rumors.�
continued from page 1 explained that John Huppenthal, the state superintendent of public instruction, has 30 days to change his opinion on the bill and that this resolution must be passed in a timely manner. Michael Polakowski, associate professor in the School of Government and Public Policy, said that as a Research I Institution, it is vital the UA utilize data to support claims made in the formal statement. “It is important for us to look like we are academic and we are sound,� he said. “This makes us sound like we are another political party.� The senate also voted to pass an amendment regarding final exam regulations that would require instructors of online classes to 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, if the class is offered during a regular academic semester. George Gehrels, chair of the Undergraduate Council, said this is a temporary solution so online class final examinations do not overlap with other scheduled final examinations. The senate also discussed 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. Allison Vaillancourt, the vice president of human resources, explained that the money saved as a result of this program would remain in the college it came from. For example, if five professors from the College of Science chose to retire under this program, the money saved would go directly back in the College of Science’s budget. This is to help colleges deal with budget reductions, Vaillancourt said. If the college decides to hire faculty after others have retired, they can do so if they have the funds in their budget. She said that there are 253 employees eligible for the program and that about 20 percent of eligible employees will take the offer, saving the university about $8 million. If too many employees in one department want to take the offer, then Provost Meredith Hay will have to turn people away, which is “not her goal,� according to Vaillancourt. “We decided to do this (the incentive program) very recently and it was hostile to put something like this together,� she said. “It was when we learned what the budget reduction looked like.�

The Vagina Warriors, a UA club, will also present the Vagina Monologues this week. The monologues are based on interviews with more than 200 women around the world, according to Ali Weber, president of the Vagina Warriors. She said the show focuses on “what it’s like to be a woman today.” “Some (monologues) are quite funny,” said Weber, an interdisciplinary senior. “Some are emotionally moving.” Ninety percent of the ticket price benefits the Oasis Program for sexual assault and relationship violence. The other 10 percent will be donated to services for women and girls in Haiti. “Part of how we’re associated with SexTalk Week is we benefit Oasis, which is a vital resource for so many students,” Weber said. Weber said the show is also related to sexual health. “The Vagina Monologues is really the opportunity to see your body and sexuality as something to be proud of,” she said. Hardesty said the week is important whether or not students are sexually active.

continued from page 1 Affairs. The survey also said 65 percent of Americans believe that if our young people do not learn foreign languages, they will be at a competitive disadvantage in their careers. “The beautiful thing about studying internationally is that you meet so many people from different corners of the world, and we are all able to get along very well,” Lopez said. Studying internationally also brings the host country economic gains. NAFSA reported that international students contributed $18.8 billion to the U.S. economy for the 2009-10 academic year. International students at the UA contributed a net of $66,584.20 through tuition, fees and living expenses. Thornes said international study with student exchange, study abroad and international students coming to the UA creates valued partnerships, diverse classroom influences, and long-lasting relationships. Thornes also mentioned a UA instituted “Buddy Program” that partners an international student with a student from the UA to introduce them to the campus. The UA students show them where the international students’ classes are, where Campus Health Service is, how to get a cell phone and other practical things. “The peer integrators at orientation made us feel like Wildcats from the moment we arrived,” Lopez said, “and I love having Wildcat pride.”

MAILBAG Democracy in Egypt promotes future
This letter is in response to the articles covering the civil unrest occurring in Egypt. As a citizen and believer in democracy, I applaud the efforts of the Egyptian people. Their efforts are similar to what happened following the election in Iran and the most recent revolution in Tunisia. Believe it or not, one thing that trumps capitalism and political correctness in the United States is the right to have one’s voice heard. This is the foundation of which our democracy is built on. The Egyptian people should continue to defy President Hosni Mubarak’s powerful security forces so that Egyptian democracy can begin to thrive.
It is unfortunate that the United States compromised on one of its most fundamental values in order to protect its economic interests in the Middle East; something that happens all too often domestically as well. It is not the Egyptian people that are attempting to seize power but rather it is those currently in power who have engaged in intimidation to prevent the will of the people from being heard. Why else would they stoop to such underhanded tactics to block various means of communication among the citizens of Egypt? Why is the government in power utilizing such political strongarm tactics such as the use of violence? President Mubarak, you have had thirty years to lead Egypt and have failed them by your own choosing. The days of the puppet regime are finally coming
to an end as it appears the desire for freedom will continue to sweep among the Arab nations. Accordingly, let the call go forth among all citizens of Egypt that your brothers and sisters of democracy from all over the world are with you during every trial and tribulation you may encounter during this crisis. To the people of Egypt, the trumpet of freedom beckons you to rise in protest and ensure your voice to preserve your sacred heritage, promote your children’s future and obtain the blessings of liberty we all cherish. As was spoken to an Egyptian Pharaoh many years ago (by another enslaved people): Let my people go! — Joe Bialek Cleveland, Ohio
Plunge into your local dive bar Johnny McKay Arizona Daily Wildcat
S
o you’re with your friends, Black Eyed Peas are blaring into your eardrums and 10 “pre-game” shots have been viciously consumed. Obviously, you are going to the bars. However, as you begin to drunkenly lurch out the front door (or into the wall next to the front door, depending on how many shots have been had), you are faced with a crucial decision: Which bar do I give my drunken business to? As you shout this forlorn inquiry into the chilly night sky, you remember this article, because this is actually a meta-scenario happening in the future. And this is the definitive guide to helping you choose the bar that will maximize the awesome, and minimize the suck. The way to do this is to take the path less stumbled, into the amazing world of dive bars. There is way too much collegiate traffic to the same oversaturated drinking holes, places so inundated with Greek life that you have to be hazed by the bouncer to get in. They are boring, expensive and predictable. I can go into greater detail, but I’ve decided to take a positive outlook in this article, because it would seem slanderous and unfair to just trash certain bars and because, frankly, I can write however and about whatever I want. (If you have a problem with this, immediately forget your ability to read. Self-imposed illiteracy is actually a great way to avoid being offended at all kinds of written media.) So, if a popular bar is a horrible, over-bro’ed waste of Tucson space, it will simply be omitted from this article, until the day I am really at a loss for subject matter and I publish
“Bars that freakin’ blow,” which is probably the piece for which I will be awarded the Excellence In Journalism award. So obviously we will be examining dive bars that rock, and the first will be one of my personal favorites: The District Tavern. The Tavern is an amazing, unassuming dive bar. It is located next to, and often overshadowed by, Club Congress, but more than holds its own as a simple and efficient

ust for a minute, imagine if the United States had a president who was so effective at stifling opposing points of view, intimidating voters and rigging elections that he was able to stay in power for 30 years. Don’t you think the American people would eventually rise up in mass opposition? Picture what it would be like if the United States had barely developed since the 1980s, yet the president was able to use the perks of his office to amass a personal fortune as high as $70 billion. There’s no way the American people would allow that to happen, but this is the exact situation in Egypt, and the Egyptian people have finally risen up in protest. The government of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is not admired by many, but especially not by the Egyptian people. For example, throughout the entirety of Mubarak’s presidency, Egyptians have been subject to what is known as the emergency law. This law allows the police to arrest anyone indefinitely and without trial. It also limits speech and gatherings of more than five people. Mubarak’s regime is consistently considered to be corrupt, more concerned with holding power than actually advancing Egyptian society. He’s seen as a puppet of the United States, receiving billions of dollars in aid money and helping continue the Israeli blockade of the people of the Gaza Strip. If America is to consider itself a champion of freedom around the world, it’s the duty of every American to back the Egyptian prodemocracy demonstrations. Who is to say that we can enjoy the freedom to express disapproval of our government, while the Egyptians must be condemned to lives under an oppressive ruler? So far, the protesters have been successful, as last week Mubarak announced that he would not seek re-election in the fall, but this doesn’t mean they’re out of the woods quite yet. After Mubarak's announcement, the demonstrations turned violent, as progovernment demonstrators began attacking foreign journalists and anti-Mubarak protesters. The attackers are widely considered to be street thugs and criminals put in place by the Mubarak regime to quell the protest’s peaceful atmosphere. Clearly, Mubarak isn’t planning on making a quick, easy exit and the protesters still have a lot to deal with. Unfortunately, many in the United States have chosen to focus on the possibility of an Egyptian democracy permitting Islamic extremists to come in to power. Egypt has a long history with the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic political movement, and for the past week, commentators like Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck have been claiming that if Mubarak leaves, they are likely to take power and threaten the United States. First of all, the Muslim Brotherhood isn’t likely to gain power. The Brotherhood may be a large opposition group, but certainly isn’t representative of the views of the majority of Egyptians. Even if they were to gain control of the government, the Muslim Brotherhood is not Al-Qaeda. There are many differences of opinion held throughout the organization, with some being more supportive of the use of violence and others taking a more moderate position. In fact, officially, the Brotherhood condemns all use of violence, having renounced it in the 1970s and taken a more moderate stance, at least in public statements. Secondly, the Muslim Brotherhood should not be the focus right now. They are not nearly as scary as those on the right claim them to be, and any discussion surrounding them takes away from the big picture. Instead, we should concentrate on the thousands of protesters assembling throughout Egypt, demanding the basic civil liberties we, as Americans, take for granted. The Mubarak administration has done very little for the Egyptian people and finally the public is taking a stand. If we are ever to take ourselves seriously as the “leaders of the free world,” it’s essential that we stand behind the protesters and assist the country in its transition to democracy.
drinking experience. They have one drink special presented every day, which is every cheap, alcoholic college kid’s dream. One huge shot of Old Crow whiskey, one bottle of Miller High Life, $3. Bam. No need to waste your time asking for the special of the day, or ordering an absurd cavalcade of obscure drinks to diminish your spending. You know what you are getting, it gets you drunk and you can spend more time doing what you came out to do, which is belligerently play darts. There are two pool tables, the aforementioned dartboard, a jukebox and bartenders so hipster that indie bands brag to each other about knowing them first. Overall, the force is strong with this bar, and I highly recommend it.
Next up on the wall of greatness is the Meet Rack, for its excellence in being the most unabashedly perverted and irreverent bar, possibly in all of America. God, a local Tucson celebrity with a love for life and an incredibly filthy mind, commands it from his bedroom, which is located in the building. The drink names are so dirty that they would cause this newspaper to burst into flames if published, and there is, honest to God, a sex dungeon five feet from the bar. I won’t ruin the rest of it for you, but go there and ask for the tour. What follows next will satisfy you in a weird, subconscious Freudian way that could never be achieved by a bar like Gentle Ben’s. To round out my word count, another great mention is The Buffet. As the dive-iest of all dive bars, is it a wonderful establishment that truly does not know the meaning of the word “class.” If you are out on a date and it’s either a) with the coolest girl in the world or b) going extremely downhill after you threw up on the waiter and made her pay for dinner, The Buffet should be your number one priority for next stop. The drink specials are cool, the clientele is composed of Tucson’s finest nonfinest and there is a shuffleboard table, which truly won me over. If you want to have a shuffleboard item thrown at you by a woman pushing 60 as a way of “breaking the ice” (happened), well then, friend, you have found a special place in the form of The Buffet. Dive bars are the way to go if you’re looking for a memorable night and the chance to meet people who couldn’t tell you a Greek letter if they were Socrates. After a few “Whore’s Delights” and a Tabasco chugging contest with a grizzled old man named God, you might find that you never want to go back. — Johnny McKay is a media arts senior.

Chris Emery, president of the UA student chapter of the American Fisheries Society, and Morgan Pfander promote the UA Wildlife Society on Monday on the Mall during the Club Fair.
Club Fair provides students with options By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The annual Club Fair brought together nearly 100 different clubs and organizations on the UA Mall in an attempt to get students more involved. Students could get information and sign up for clubs at booths on Monday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., on the Mall. “I’ve had three people come talk to me about joining before we even got here,” said Nancy Freitas, an environmental sciences freshman and a member of Vox, a campus group connected with Planned Parenthood. The advocacy group used bright pink shirts to attract attention, and by noon more than seven people had signed their names on petition sheets. “We try to get people not just to vote, but to educate them more at the same time,” said Cassidi Hammock, a psychology senior. The Vagina Warriors yelled “Vagina!” at the top of their lungs, which garnered them some glares. “Yeah, it’s a pretty wild word,” said Caissey Agtual, a theatre arts sophomore. “A lot of people don’t want to say it or feel like it’s a bad word, but we scream it in the middle of a crowd. It’s an attention grabber.” Nelo Shir, a junior majoring in physiology and history, also helped promote the Vagina Warriors at their Club Fair booth, and explained that having a vagina is not necessary for membership. The club accepts all ages and all genders. Shir sold passers-by chocolate vaginas and “I heart vaginas” T-shirts, priced at $18. The majority of proceeds, 90 percent, will go to the Oasis Program on campus for sexual assault and relationship violence. The other 10 percent will go directly to a safe house for women in Haiti. “We’re here to stop violence against women and girls,” Agtual said. A German shepherd rested by the poster for the “Ritmos Latinos” salsa dancing
club as salsa music blasted out speakers and group members danced on the sidewalk. Laura Stump, a senior animal sciences major and the president of the club, twirled as her dancing partner spun her before she stopped to hand out flyers to a person walking by. “Classes start tonight,” she told the student. The Ritmos Latinos group had a total membership of 170 people last semester. The club started about seven years ago, and is a joint club between the UA and the rest of the Tucson community. They celebrate “Rueda de Casino,” which is a style of salsa dance that pairs all people in a circle while a “caller” shouts out a different dance move for them to do, according to Stump. “It’s meant to be a community dance, because a lot of the moves involve switching partners constantly,” she said. Classes are held at the south patio of McClelland Hall on Mondays and Tuesdays, and membership costs $30 with student identification. “There’s people of all levels and ages,” Stumps said to a student, “so don’t be shy.”

policebeat By Alexander Vega Arizona Daily Wildcat
Driving Miss Mary Jane
A University of Arizona Police Department officer made a traffic stop at the corner of Sixth Street and Warren Avenue on Jan. 31 at 1:29 a.m. The officer clocked the vehicle going 37 mph in a 30 mph zone. After being pulled over, as the driver rolled down the window, the officer could smell marijuana coming from the vehicle. There were four passengers in the vehicle, all of which identified themselves upon request with driver’s licenses. However, when the officer asked to search the driver’s vehicle, the driver declined. The officer called for assistance from UAPD regarding the marijuana. When the second officer responded, they helped to detain the non-UA affiliated driver and passengers while the original officer searched the vehicle. The officer found four prescription bottles containing marijuana, a glass pipe, cigar paper and a cigar roller on the front passenger seat in a blue backpack. The officer also found a purse with a prescription bottle containing marijuana. In a search of the car’s trunk, the officer found additional prescription bottles with marijuana. One of the passengers, a minor, admitted to obtaining marijuana from the driver and smoking it prior. The driver was arrested on the scene for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and contribution to the delinquency of a minor. The female minor was cited for possession of marijuana and released to the custody of her parents on scene. On the ride over to Pima County Adult Detention Facility, the officer asked if UAPD should hold the blue backpack found in the vehicle for the driver to claim later. The driver asked the officer to do so, confirming that the backpack was indeed his. The driver was also warned for speeding.
Parking permit custody battle
UAPD received a call to preserve the peace on Jan. 31 at 11:04 a.m. A male UA graduate student called in regarding his Zone 1 parking permit. The man told the responding officer that he wanted it back from his ex-girlfriend who refused to return it. The officer contacted Parking and Transportation Services and confirmed that the parking pass in question was male student’s. The officer notified the ex-girlfriend that the man wanted the parking pass returned. The woman agreed to meet the officer at a parking lot on First Street. The woman gave the parking permit in question to the officer, who double-checked the number of the pass to the information obtained through Parking and Transportation Services. The officer placed the parking permit in UAPD custody and contacted the man to inform him of how to obtain the permit from UAPD headquarters.
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you
A non-UA affiliated woman was arrested during a routine traffic stop on Jan. 31 around 2:30 p.m. A UAPD officer was monitoring traffic on Sixth Street when the officer observed a vehicle traveling at 44 mph in a 35 mph zone. The officer pulled the vehicle over at 6th Street and Tucson Boulevard and was able to identify the driver using her Arizona driver’s license and tattoo. A records check on the driver showed that the woman had an outstanding warrant for an arrest in Maricopa County for failure to appear on a charge of credit card theft. The officer arrested the woman for the previous felony charge and booked her into Pima County Jail. The woman’s vehicle, with permission, was parked at Sixth Street and Tucson Boulevard.
Employee dings UA vehicle
A UA employee, driving a UA vehicle, collided into a pole outside of the parking lot next to McKale Center and the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center on Jan. 31 at 1:57 a.m. The employee was attempting to drive through two poles while crossing over the pedestrian walkway. The vehicle incurred damage to the front right bumper, however no paint was transferred. Because the accident occurred while the employee was on the clock, the employee returned to work after submitting the accident report to UAPD. 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.

Communication teaching assistant Have any male students ever made a move on you during office hours? No, not yet. Fortunately in the Comm. department there are a lot more females than males. Tell me about your first kiss? I was 15 and it was actually kind of gross. I was surprised at how slimy it was because I thought it was going to be all romantic, like in the movies, but it was definitely not like that. Favorite movie to cry to? Moulin Rouge. Do you wish you were Christina Aguilera? No, I mean I wish I had her talent but I don’t wish I was actually her. Did you ever get in trouble for wearing inappropriate things or too much makeup when you were a preteen? No. My mom kind of had this “If you got it, flaunt it” type of motto. So you don’t consider yourself a rebel? No, not really. What type of ice cream will you just devour? By yourself? Cookie dough, but I have only done that with the little ones.

I’d take that cash and put it into a fund where it supports youth athletics for girls, like cheerleading or softball.”

3. Mental fatigue
team sits at 20-4 with seven conference games remaining. With the Wildcats ranked No. 16 in the coaches poll, Miller can work his way into the national coach of the year discussion with a few more wins, if he already hasn’t.
Losing streaks are tough on everyone — players, coaches and trainers — and it was obvious that everyone was frustrated over the weekend. It just looked like everyone was exhausted mentally. Simple plays that should be made in the players’ sleep — like inbound passes — were botched. Bad calls were (understandably) questioned, but it seemed like Arizona was waiting for something good to happen instead of making something good happen.
Washington in trouble
Washington is amidst a shocking three-game losing streak and is on the verge of playing themselves out of the Pac-10 title race. Although the Huskies initially didn’t seemed fazed by the season ending knee injury to guard Abdul Gaddy and the off-court issues of an unnamed player, which resulted in no charges, it’s fair to question whether everything is taking its toll on the team. When a team that has been picked to win the conference is swept by two bottom-of-the-pack teams, there is something wrong. If the Huskies lose again before facing Arizona on Feb. 19, they can say goodbye to their conference title hopes.
Surprise of the week

4. Youth
If any team is going to be prone to high peaks and low valleys, like Arizona has been this year, it’s going to be one as young as the Wildcats. There are two seniors in the starting lineup, but five of the mainstays in Arizona’s rotation are either freshmen, sophomores or in their first year in the program playing at Arizona after a transfer. The tough part for Butts is going to be getting everyone to step back and take things one game at a time instead of letting the streak snowball out of control.
5. Better competition Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Ugly court and all the Oregon Ducks are one of the surprise teams this Pac-10 season under first year head coach Dana Altman. Although the Ducks sit in seventh in the conference, they’re fresh off a sweep of the Washington schools and have won

four of the last five games. The Ducks currently sit one game ahead of Southern California.
This is the clear and most likely answer to Arizona’s struggles. Three of the seven losses have come against top-10 teams, and the other four losses were against teams that are ahead of Arizona in the current Pacific 10 Conference standings. The only team currently ahead of Arizona that the Wildcats have beaten is Washington State — with a 7-16 overall record. All three of Arizona’s other conference wins have come against the bottom-feeders of the Pac-10, with an 8-25 combined conference record.
Packers coach is a good fit as a motivator McClatchy Tribune DALLAS — Call it arrogance or call it confidence, but Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy made a bold move on the eve of Super Bowl XLV. McCarthy had his players measured for championship rings Saturday night at the team hotel before they played the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Was that not a bit presumptuous? “They still would have gotten an NFC championship ring,” general manager Ted Thompson said. “So they still needed the ring size.”
McCarthy’s intuition proved correct. The Packers will be sporting Super Bowl championship rings after their 31-25 victory over the Steelers. McCarthy used the rings as one of many motivational ploys during this magical season in which the Packers, a sixth seed, knocked off four division champions on the way to the franchise’s fourth Super Bowl title and 13th NFL championship. It’s one of several inspirational tools McCarthy has used his season, including letting team captains give pregame talks and putting framed pictures of previous Packers championship teams
on the wall in the meeting room, leaving an empty space for 2010. “I talked to our football team a lot about having real confidence, and those are just examples and opportunities to express that,” McCarthy said Monday morning. “I felt that the measurement of the rings, the timing of it would be special, it would have a significant effect on our players doing it the night before the game. “I just told them that we’re going to get measured for rings tonight, at snack. I felt it was the right time to do it. I thought it would give us a boost of confidence to do it the night before the game.”
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, selected the Super Bowl MVP for his 304-yard, three-touchdown performance, actually was not in the room when his teammates were getting measured. “I actually missed the little table there,” Rodgers said. “I didn’t get sized up. I was wondering when I was taking my pregame shower if that was a bad omen or not, to not get sized for my ring. Hopefully I can still get sized with that.” One reason McCarthy took the liberty of measuring for rings was his belief the Packers would beat Pittsburgh, which

was seeking its third Super Bowl title in six years. “We felt that we had an aggressive game plan on both sides of the ball, going against Pittsburgh,” McCarthy said. “As the players got into it, you could see they had the confidence, you could see the excitement. We felt we were a better team than Pittsburgh. “No disrespect for them, we really respect the way they play. We knew they were going to be a physical, tough football team, but we felt we were a better football team coming in here, and we needed to go out and prove it. That’s why we were so confident.”

Q How many drinks on
average will get you to the .08 limit or above?
A. land most drinkers above .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC). An individual’s BAC depends on four factors: weight,
You may be surprised that just 2-4 drinks in one hour will
gender, time, and strength of the drinks. While you can control how much and how fast you drink, weight and gender aren’t changeable in one evening.
A standard drink is 12 ounces of beer or 4 oz. of wine or 1 ounce shot of 80 proof liquor (40% ethanol). Every standard drink that a 140 pound woman consumes will raise her BAC .032. So, 3 drinks x .032 puts her at .96, which is over the legal DUI limit of .08 for those 21 and older. Every standard drink that a 180 male consumes will raise his BAC .02. Four standard drinks would put him right at .08. To see how weight and gender affect BAC see the tables below: Women 100 lbs. 140 lbs. 180 lbs.
BAC/drink .045 .032 .025
Men 140 lbs. 180 lbs. 220 lbs.
BAC/drink .026 .020 .017
Why such a big difference in how alcohol affects men and women? Weight is big factor. Females generally weigh less than men and they have less alcohol dehydrogenase (the liver enzyme that metabolizes alcohol) than males. Men typically have more muscle mass than women – which helps dilute alcohol in the blood stream. To stay safer when drinking alcohol, it’s recommended that women limit themselves to one standard drink an hour and men limit drinks to one or two drinks per hour. With moderate drinking, you likely will have better times, better memories, and fewer regrets.
A 40 oz. Budweiser is actually 3.8 standard drinks.

Pac-10 Power Rankings
DIMTSIOS continued from page 12 And they’ve got all the necessary ingredients to do it, too. For starters, there’s Fowler ’s new pitching technique, designed to increase her longevity throughout the season. Her backup, freshman pitcher Shelby Babcock, equally dangerous and equally powerful who will earn her own time in the circle this year. The Wildcats also garnered notoriety at the beginning of the season, picked No. 1 in the ESPN/ USA Softball pre-season poll and slated to be winners of the Pacific 10 Conference in 93 days. Eight returning starters, seven of whom notched All-Pac-10 nods last season, poised and ready to get back to the place Arizona hasn’t been since 2007 — champions at the end of the season. There’s also the wild card of five freshmen, with talents yet to be discovered, impacts yet to be felt. The returning bats of Brittany Lastrapes, Stacie Chambers and Lini Koria, who combined for 54 home runs last season, will lead the Wildcats in the box and out of the yard. But this season isn’t about what the Wildcats can do — it’s about what, exactly, their limit will be. The Wildcats have threatened to go all the way a few times in recent years, but there has always been a breaking point — missing Candrea’s leadership in 2008, a one-and-done appearance in 2009 and a series that went sour in 2010. With the 2011 season on the brink of starting, the one glaring thing this year’s Wildcats lack is a breaking point — and that could be the final missing aspect that brings a ninth national championship back to Tucson. To reach the pinacle of college softball, they’ll have to balance all the ups and downs of the season, the injuries, and the tough calls. They’ll have to fight through a Kajikawa Classic that offers much tougher competition than last year ’s and survive four invitational tournaments , two that are out of the confines of Hillenbrand Stadium . They’ll have to navigate through an always competitive Pac-10 schedule, playing at Stanford and at UCLA. They’ll have to push through Regionals, Super Regionals and finally back once again to the championshp series where they’ll have to outlast seven other teams for seven days. If the Wildcats can put their limits aside and let the talent take over, they’ll have only 120 days left to wait.
By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
No. 1 Arizona (20-4, 9-2 Pacific 10 Conference) With a sweep of the Northern California schools, the No. 15 Wildcats solidified their spot as the most consistent, if not best, team in the league. If they keep it up, head coach Sean Miller might be in line for a coach of the year award or two.
No. 6 Oregon (12-11, 5-6 Pac-10) Look who it is: the Ducks are rising under their first-year head coach, Dana Altman. Beating both Washington schools makes Oregon a legitimate threat to win any game from here on out.
No. 2 Washington (15-7, 7-4 Pac-10) Yes, the Huskies dropped two games to the Oregon schools, two of the bottom feeders of the league. Yes, they are in a tailspin. But there are still enough games to play to regain traction and make the NCAA Tournament.
No. 7 Stanford (12-10, 5-6 Pac-10) The Cardinal is trying to stop the bleeding, winning two of its last three after having lost four in a row. But who doesn’t beat ASU these days?
No. 3 UCLA (16-7, 7-3 Pac-10) The Bruins beat up on St. Johns out of the Big East Conference, but until they can win consistently in the Pac-10, they aren’t good enough to be considered better than Washington. Though the Huskies are reeling, they’re still the more talented team compared to the Bruins. No. 4 Washington State (16-7, 6-5 Pac-10) Splitting games at the Oregon schools isn’t something to brag about, but it’s not enough to drop the Cougars out of the fourth spot in the rankings — such is life in the wily Pac-10. No. 5 California (13-10, 6-5 Pac-10) Perhaps beating the helpless Sun Devils by only four points isn’t saying much, but the Golden Bears made a statement by hanging with the Wildcats for 55 minutes. If they stop playing down, or up, to their competition, Cal might make some waves.
11
No. 8 Southern California (12-11, 4-6 Pac-10) The seat is getting hotter for head coach Kevin O’Neill. Despite having one of the more talented rosters in the league, the Trojans aren’t winning.
No. 9 Oregon State (9-13, 4-7 Pac-10) The Beavers had a big win against Washington last week, but otherwise aren’t talented enough to compete with the number of quickly improving programs in the Pac-10.
No. 10 ASU (9-14, 1-10 Pac-10) If there’s anything positive about ASU’s team, it’s that they’ve lost their last four games by single digits.

Obama pushes for unity in wake of shooting By Bethany Barnes and Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Standing before an audience of more than 13,000 in McKale Center, with an almost equal number watching via video from the nearby Arizona Stadium, President Barack Obama took a thoughtful pause. “On Saturday morning, Gabby, her staff and many of her constituents gathered outside of a supermarket to exercise their right to peaceful assembly and free speech,” he said. “They were fulfilling a central tenant of democracy and the vision by our founders … That is the quintessentially American scene that was shattered by a gunman’s bullets.” Obama and several high-ranking members of his cabinet

Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition at University Medical Center. “There is nothing I can say that will fill the sudden hole torn in your hearts,” Obama said. “But know this.

Pressure is mounting With the season two days away, the No. 1 Wildcats have a lot to prove
COMMENTARY BY Nicole Dimstios sports writer
When the Arizona softball team begins its season on Thursday, it will have been 247 days since Kenzie Fowler and the Wildcats walked off the field in defeat. That’s 247 days to live with the memory of a twogame sweep at the hands of UCLA in the championship series of the Women’s College World Series. Reliving the fly ball that could have ended Game 1 with an Arizona victory and swung the tide of the best-ofthree series. Reliving a freshman ace’s effort to carry the team on her right arm, throwing more than 800 pitches in a span of six days. That’s 247 days for Mike Candrea’s mind to re-work, re-tool and re-load Arizona’s roster to solve the Wildcats’ glaring problem — the depth of the bullpen. That was the 2010 season. But in just two days, the Kajikawa Classic brings new opportunity for a refreshed and replenished Arizona team to take the field — four days of finding out who this Wildcat team is going to be early on in the season. There are 93 days of the regular season, plenty of time for a talented 2011 squad to display exactly what it has to offer this year. DIMTSIOS, page 11
The Associated Press
TOP 25 After beating Stanford and California over the weekend, the Arizona Wildcats men’s basketball team moved up to No. 15 in the Associated Press Top 25. The Wildcats, 20-4, currently lead the Pacific 10 Conference by one game in the loss column over UCLA. Ohio State was the unanimous choice for No. 1, collecting all 65 first place votes. The Big East Conference has eight teams in the poll — Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, Villanova, Connecticut, Georgetown, Syracuse, Louisville and West Virginia — by far the most of any conference. In comparison, Arizona is the lone Pac-10 representative after Washington lost its last three games in a row to drop out of the rankings.
Rankings 1. Ohio State (24-0) 2. Kansas (22-1) 3. Texas (20-3) 4. Pittsburgh (21-2) 5. Duke (21-2) 6. San Diego State (23-1) 7. BYU (22-2) 8. Notre Dame (19-4) 9. Villanova (19-4) 10.

Kenzie Fowler was a dependable ace in 2010 and led the Wildcats to a berth in the Women’s College World Series. But after spending the offseason rehabbing her arm and adjusting her mechanics, the sophomore’s success will be a critical variable this season.

Analysis:
Men’s basketball Five reasons for Arizona’s losing streak
By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After starting the season 11-2 including a competitive nine-point loss to No. 6 Texas A&M, the Arizona women’s basketball team has sputtered — losing seven of the last nine games, including a current four-game skid. Here are the five biggest factors for Arizona’s skid.
Pac-10 news and notes By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT With Washington falling apart over the weekend , there is a new favorite to win the Pacific 10 Conference. Arizona men’s basketball is now the team that looks like everyone thought Washington would at this point. The Wildcats are on a fivegame winning streak , the longest streak in the Miller era, and are the lone ranked team representing the Pac-10 conference, as Washington fell out of the rankings after getting swept over the weekend. Barring a complete collapse, the Pac-10 title should go through Tucson. But with a few weeks left to play, here is a quick look at how the Pac-10 is taking shape.
1. No supporting cast
Davellyn Whyte and Ify Ibekwe have still gotten their numbers, as was expected entering the season. The thing that has disappeared has been support from the rest of Arizona’s rotation. Everyone has shown glimpses, but no one has been able to step up night-in and night-out and add a consistent third option to the Wildcat offense. Both Brooke Jackson and Shanita Arnold have gone through stretches where their shots were falling, but someone needs to separate herself from the rest of the pack and make an impact.
Player of the Week
2. Lacking aggressiveness
After both of Arizona’s home losses during the weekend — its first two of the season — head coach Niya Butts talked about how the Wildcats need to be more aggressive and take the ball to the basket instead of settling for 3s. The Wildcats took 23 3-pointers per game over the

weekend, five more than their average of 18 per game. To compound the problem, Arizona only hit 25 percent of its 3s during the weekend, compared to 30 percent the rest of the sea-
son. If the Wildcats are going to pass up an opportunity to get the ball inside, they need to start hitting the shots. W-HOOPS, page 9

Oregon forward Joevan Catron was named Pac-10 Player of the Week after leading the Ducks to a sweep over Washington and Washington State . The senior averaged 18 points and 9 rebounds over the weekend . Arizona’s point guard Momo Jones was nominated for the award and proba-
bly would have won the award had he not won the previous week . Jones scored a career high 27 points in a triple OT win against California .
Sixth man of the week
Though Jones got most of the attention for Wildcats, Kevin Parrom is just as deserving of some praise. Parrom scored a career high 25 points and knocked down multiple 3-pointers to give Jones a chance to hit the clutch shots down the stretch.
Arizona with another 20-win season
With the win against California on Saturday, Arizona became the first Pac-10 team to hit the 20-win mark. The Wildcats have won 20 games in 22 of the last 24 seasons.
