Regents to vote on tuition increase Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona Board of Regents will vote April 4 on a UA proposal to increase the 2013-2014 tuition by $300 for Arizona residents and $800 for out-of-state students.

Library fees may also see an increase of $80, according to UA President Ann Weaver Hart’s proposal, released Friday. With the exception of a tuition freeze for in-state tuition and a 3 percent out-of-state tuition increase in the 2012-13 school year, the proposed hike is the lowest in the past five years.

Tuition at the UA has increased an average of 10 to 15 percent per year since 2008, mostly because of

significant budget cuts from the state, according to Andrew Comrie, UA provost and senior vice president for academic affairs.

Prior to voting, the regents will hold tuition proposal hearings at the UA Main Campus and UA Sierra Vista as well as all four Arizona State University campuses and Northern Arizona University‘s Flagstaff and Yuma campuses. The regents will link the meetings online and listen to community input before deciding how to vote on the three universities’ proposals.

“So, it’s a chance to reach out and, very specifically, the only purpose for that meeting is to listen to public

UA Tech Park may become test site for border technology MARK ARMAO Arizona Daily Wildcat

The UA Science and Technology Park could become a major site for the testing and evaluation of border security technologies.

DRS Technologies, a defense company that operates a testing facility at the Tech Park, is vying for a massive contract from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, which calls for the construction and implementation of more than 50 surveillance towers along the Arizona-Mexico border. If awarded the contract, DRS Technologies would likely expand its presence at the park, said Jim Hynes, executive director of DRS Technologies’

department of Homeland Security and Force Protection Programs.

The worldwide market for border technologies is estimated to be around $20 billion, said Bruce Wright, associate vice president of University Research Parks.

“It’s a huge industry,” Wright said.

DRS Technologies is a branch of the industrial corporation Finmeccanica.

The company tests a number of border security platforms at the park, including the Integrated Fixed Tower that is located just south of Interstate 10, near the Rita Road exit.

The tower would provide a 360-degree view of the desert via

Students bring hurling sport to UA campus

comment,” said Rick Myers, chairman of the board.

UA administrators met with leaders from the Associated Students of the University of Arizona to discuss the proposal and get a student perspective on tuition.

ASUA President Katy Murray said the UA administration sought to increase tuition by 5 percent while ASUA leaders were expecting a 1 to 2 percent increase. The administration reached a compromise with ASUA for a 3 percent increase.

“We as students can’t afford to carry much more on our backs than that,” Murray said.

“Especially when you look at all the other … costs that go into your total cost of attendance.”

Murray also said while she supports the tuition increase, she is against any fee increases included in the proposal.

Zachary Brooks, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, said the council was also hoping for a lower increase. However, after seeing how much the state budget has been cut in the past five years, he said it supports the proposed 3 percent increase.

“I have a lot of faith in administration,” Brooks said.

“Once you see the numbers for yourself, it’s hard not to see why some increase is needed.”

Administration took into account gradually rising costs of university services such as utilities, as well as investments needed to repair buildings when proposing new tuition rates.

Investment in student and faculty recruitment and retention are also necessary to maintain a quality education system, Comrie added.

The tuition hikes were also made assuming the state budget proposal doesn’t drastically change between now and around summertime, when legislators vote on it. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has proposed an increase of about $11 million to be allocated to the UA in this year’s budget. While $8 million would go toward the UA College of Medicine in Phoenix, Comrie said the additional $3 million would help with UA main campus’ expenses.

“If that’s [the UA’s state budget] substantially less then of course that impacts … the quality of what we can offer,” Comrie said. “We have to make compromises if the budget doesn’t turn out the way we expect.”

Myers said although seeing the board of regents reject or make changes to tuition proposals is not unheard of, this year’s proposals include justifiable background information from the university presidents.

“I do think the presidents are coming in and they’re trying to be prudent in what they’re asking for,” Myers said.

For those who didn’t get enough Irish pride during St. Patrick’s Day, hurling, which dates back almost 2,000 years ago, is picking up steam on campus.

A small group of students have been using the UA Mall to hone their hurling skills two or three times a week, with the ultimate goal of someday fielding a full team.

Played on a large grass field, players use a flat wooden club called a “hurley” to hit a ball called a sliotar (pronounced “slitter”), which resembles a baseball with inside-out stitches. The object of the game is to hit the ball into a goal shaped like an “H.” If the ball goes through the upper portion of the goal, it’s worth one point. If it goes into the soccer-style net below, it’s worth three points.

“There is something awfully satisfying about smacking a hard round object with a stick,” said Kellner Brown, a classics senior who learned the game as a child while living in Ireland. “It’s like playing catch with baseball bats.”

That’s just practice, though. Brown said the speed of actual game play is significantly faster.

As opposed to games like football and basketball, in which every play is subject to myriad rules and regulations, hurling allows more freedom. Players can bat, kick, slap and even carry the sliotar briefly in their hand, or indefinitely on their hurley.

Isaiah Bruno, a mechanical engineering junior, picked up hurling while studying abroad in Ireland and said it is a unique sport.

“It’s really free,” Bruno said. “It’s hard to find a sport that has so little rules.”

One of the few rules dictates that a player

wants to get smacked with a stick,” Bruno said.

The group has hopes of hosting a regulation game, which requires 15 players on a team.

“It’s our dream to get a full game going,” said Matt Coope, a pre-pharmacy junior, “maybe even make it an intramural thing.”

cannot hit another player with his hurley as little protective equipment is worn during games. Bruno said he had some close calls with swinging hurleys, but added that it’s not as dangerous as it looks.

“People kind of tone it down because no one

Community Chatter What impact would tuition increases have on your budget next year?

“It would not have an impact on my personal budget since my graduate appointment pays for all of my tuition. I’ve been going here since 2006 and by comparison to a lot of other tuition increases, this isn’t really a big one.”

— Matt Novak, materials science and engineering graduate student (out-of-state)

“That could definitely affect people’s budgets as far as the little things people need for school — supplies, books, getting a laptop and things. It isn’t the worst they could do, but if someone is a freshman and they keep adding $300 every year, that’s a lot of money at the end of those four years.

— Margaux Stover, sociology senior (in-state)

“I’m on scholarship so it’s not that much of a big deal but it’s been less money for things like books. I think it’s still completely unfair because I think there’s other ways of gaining revenue. It’s kind of a cop-out to just raise tuition.

— Zazil Davis-Vazquez, Latin American studies freshman (out-ofstate)

— Compiled by Kayla Samoy

“I’m very fortunate that I have my parents to support me and thankfully I do have a scholarship. But it doesn’t cover everything. It is a pain but at the end of the day, if it’s to better the school itself and if it’s to benefit everyone and every student, then I understand it. I feel like it’s bound to happen to keep up with the latest technology, which is one of the things that makes this school great and makes people want to come here.”

Vigil urges students to stand up for others SARAH-JAYNE SIMON Arizona Daily Wildcat

The UA Hillel Foundation will hold its 20th annual 24-hour Holocaust Vigil on Wednesday to remember the Holocaust and increase tolerance and understanding both on campus and in the Tucson community.

The vigil will start at noon on Wednesday on the UA Mall and will end Thursday at 12:15 p.m. The schedule includes a reading of the names of those who died in the Holocaust, as well as a list of speakers. The theme of this year’s vigil is “Silence Helps the Oppressors,” said Naomi Schuster, director of Jewish Student Life.

“Our goal is to not have people be bystanders,” Schuster said. “Stand up for yourself and make sure that an atrocity such as the Holocaust doesn’t happen again.”

All events are open to the public and free of charge. Survivors will speak throughout the

The exhibit will allow people to seeks to create 1.5 million ceramic butterflies see pictures of real families before they were in honor of their memory, Schuster said.

responded well, she said.

Some of Mink’s detainees boasted about the carnage they’d caused, but most were docile. He interrogated three people every day during his 12-hour shifts. If necessary, he could cross-examine someone for 20 hours straight.

He also worked in Baghdad.

Between 60 to 70 percent of the people he interrogated turned out to be “people of interest,” meaning they had information about al-Qaida that the Army deemed valuable.

But within the soundproof walls of the interrogation room, he began struggling to accept the reasons he was given for going to war.

“When I talked to the Iraqis I detained, I realized they had no ideological loyalty to [Osama] bin Laden.

They just wanted us out of their country. That was not what I expected,” Mink said. “I was young and believed the rhetoric from the administration … It’s hard to admit that.”

Conservative estimates pin the number of Iraqi civilian causalities at 100,000. As the U.S. and its allies warred against their enemies, millions of innocent people were caught in the middle. One of them was Ezadeen Naji, a teenager living in Baghdad when the invasion began.

He’s now 24 and a college student in Arizona, but he can vividly recount the tumultuous path that brought him to the U.S. Fear consumed Naji at the outset

of the war, keeping him penned up at home. After a few days, he stopped worrying so much because he knew anxieties wouldn’t shield him from walking into somebody’s crosshairs, he said.

Within a week, he and his friends were playing soccer in the streets as rockets soared over and buildings collapsed around them. On days when the violence was particularly bad, he spent hours at his mosque, reading the Quran and praying for the cataclysm enveloping him to come to a halt.

“Some good things came out of the war. But overall … it was destruction. That’s what I think of the anniversary,” he said, “destruction.”

At night, Naji could lie on a rooftop and see “all the stars in the sky” because the city’s lights and power stations weren’t functional for months,

he said. Water was scarce, so his family had to dig its own wells.

Several of his relatives were killed, sectarian crime increased dramatically, heaps of garbage cluttered the streets and the nation’s overall condition deteriorated beyond anything he endured under Hussein, he said.

Naji and his family left Iraq in 2006. They spent two years in Syria before arriving in Tucson in 2008 as refugees.

Now, Naji is studying electrical engineering at Pima Community College and plans to transfer to the UA next fall.

“When I came here, I knew it wasn’t the American people who wanted to hurt us. The people were very nice and welcoming,” he said.

“The war was started by politicians.”

Committee who strongly supported the invasion. He acknowledged in an interview this month that the war has had some very negative outcomes, but he said it is too early to call U.S. participation a failure.

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., both said they stood by their decision to oppose the war in 2003.

“I’m sure glad I didn’t vote for it,” Sanders said earlier this month.

The quality of life for Iraqis improved in many avenues, particularly through the removal of Hussein and the installation of a fledgling democracy, Mink said. The invasion also opened up trading opportunities for the U.S. with oil-rich Iraq. But, he said, the deaths of so many civilians weighs too heavily on the scale of positive and negative outcomes, rendering the war a disaster.

“Ten years ago today, people lost trust in their politicians,” Mink said, citing a faulty pretext of Hussein possessing weapons of mass destruction and being linked to alQaida which was used to justify the war. “It was such a folly of waging war to instill democracy, and it will be much harder for an administration to repeat the same routine in the future.”

On the American side, nearly 5,000 troops died, and thousands more were wounded.

“I think if you could ask them from the grave, they would tell you they died for their buddies,” Mink said.

“That may be the best comfort their families can take.”

Mink and Pastuch had left Iraq by the time President Barack Obama’s administration declared the war over in 2011. They got married and are continuing their studies at the UA. Mink helps lead Project GO, a university program that teaches ROTC students Arabic and Middle Eastern culture to prepare them for deployment. He plans to become an interrogation instructor working with U.S. allies in the Middle East after he graduates. Pastuch wants to become a librarian specializing in Middle Eastern collections.

They are moving on, but will never forget their memories.

“The casualties in Iraq and the over 4,000 troops who lost their lives deserve for us to understand what happened,” Pastuch said. “We need to remember the anniversary of this war because it had a huge imprint on the history of our country.”

Slavery isn’t that bad. I mean, the slave owners provided food and shelter for their slaves. That’s like paying them, right?

At least, that’s the opinion of 30-year-old Scott Terry, a North Carolina native who attended a discussion about race sponsored by the Conservative Political Action Committee at Towson University.

Terry clearly skimmed over the section of his history textbook that talked about slavery, or at least the part about the lack of basic freedoms and the fact that these people were being owned by other people.

He gets an “F” for being an ignorant racist.

People are pretty upset over the media coverage of the rape of a high school girl in Steubenville, Ohio. While critics have said that the media were too sympathetic toward the rapists, another problem is that CNN, Fox News and MSNBC all aired the name of the victim.

News outlets typically don’t name rape victims because we want to protect the victim’s privacy. When news outlets air a victim’s name, it could prevent future victims from going forward to the police in the fear that soon, everyone might know. Seeing that only 46 percent of rape cases get reported to the police according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, the news media outlets have failed.

Some secret societies at Georgetown University aren’t so secret anymore.

A source with the nickname “Steward Throat” leaked emails to FreeGeorgetown, the student news blog at Georgetown University.

These emails exposed a candidate for their government elections as a Steward (the Second Society of Stewards is a known secret society at Georgetown) which lost him votes leading to his loss in the election.

The whole secret society thing seems pretty stupid, which makes the whole situation pretty stupid. No matter what, if the whole campus knows about a secret society, it isn’t a secret anymore, so the Stewards definitely failed.

ehind every club on campus is the Associated Students of the University of Arizona.

Composed of 10 senators and three executive members, the ASUA legislative and executive branches assist in managing budgets, creates task forces and represents the student body.

Every year you see the campaign flyers, the friends of the candidates wearing endorsement T-shirts, and mass emails telling you why you should vote.

And yet, on a campus of about 40,000

people, only 4,320 ballots were cast in the last election — meaning, only about 10 percent of the student body actually voted. This miniscule amount of voters is evident of just how little interest this campus has in ASUA. ASUA isn’t taken seriously by students because of its lack of dialogue. Most students couldn’t even name the current ASUA president, let alone tell you what exactly her duties and responsibilities are.

Students need to become more engaged in student government and it is ASUA members’ responsibility to interact with the people they are making decisions for. They’re a body of government and should feel uncomfortable remaining irrelevant to the student body.

Arizona solar energy too important to cut initiatives

The Student Health Advisory Committee is holding a competition to clean up cigarette’s around campus.

The KickButts Day Cleanup Challenge on March 20 is a chance for students to win money while helping to clean up the cigarette butts on campus.

This is a part of a larger movement at SHAC to make the UA a tobacco free campus.

While KickButts Day may not prevent people from smoking around campus, its a way for students to show that they’re serious about seeing a change in policy.

According to the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation, there are 1,129 smokefree campuses across the country, and there is no reason why the UA can’t be one of them.

We should be given more outlets to stay involved and take a part in the choices that ASUA makes daily. Unless the student body doesn’t mind allowing one group to make decisions that affect them every day, it’s important to fortify the line of communication between ASUA and the students it works for.

Hopefully this year’s new members take action to involve the students, as opposed to recognizing the problem and allowing the situation to remain stagnant.

initial installation.

With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, Arizona should dominate the solar energy market in the United States, and for years it has been making strides in that direction. Performance-based incentives have been steadily reduced and the industry has managed to keep up.

Another set of reductions were scheduled for 2013 in which APS would only receive $20.8 million in performance-based incentives and TEP would get about half of that. However, after the ACC’s decision, neither company will receive any incentives and now both companies will most likely struggle to remain committed to solar energy without any help.

The solar industry in Arizona is less reliant on incentives than it used to be but it is unable to stand alone. Representatives from Mainstream Energy

Corporation, Wilson Electric and Technicians for Sustainability, all of which specialize in solar panel installation, predict forced layoffs in the near future.

The all-Republican commission’s decision will damage an already fragile Arizona workforce and it shows no consideration for the future of the state.

In a pathetic attempt to justify its simple-minded decision, the ACC wrote, “We are deeply concerned about expected ballooning renewable energy budgets in the future, and their impact on ratepayers’ wallets.”

What kind of impact will these cuts have on the future of sustainable energy and the environment in Arizona? We have the potential to lead the nation in solar energy, but instead the ACC is opting for out-of-date methods of supplying energy that damage the environment and fail to offer a permanent solution to our growing energy needs.

In the same statement, the ACC acknowledged that the solar energy industry in Arizona was able to survive with small, gradual cuts to its budget in the past, which is exactly the opposite of

a “ballooning renewable energy budget.” It also isn’t accurate for the commissioners to claim they’re protecting ratepayers’ wallets.

Cleaning up the environment with emissions controls for coal plants continues to cost ratepayers every year.

If the ACC is really interested in saving Arizonans money, it should think about cutting its ties with the coal industry.

The commission apparently isn’t concerned with the ballooning budget spent on coal and natural gas. To fulfill Arizona’s energy needs, the ACC pours $2 to $3 billion each year into coal and natural gas plants. To make matters worse, most of this money doesn’t even stay in the state.

Arizona would be the ideal location to invest in solar energy, if only the ACC wasn’t so politically corrupt as to impede the advancement of clean and renewable energy to help out its buddies in the coal industry.

POLICE BEAT MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Criminally good

A non-UA affiliated man was pulled over for going more than twice the speed limit on March 12.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was monitoring the Speedway Boulevard and Olsen Avenue intersection when he noticed a gold Dodge Caliber driving faster than surrounding vehicles. The officer clocked the car going 72 mph in a 35 mph zone.

The driver of the car pulled to the side of Speedway Boulevard and presented a valid license and registration. The man told the officer he knew he was speeding but was unaware of how fast and said he was doing so because he was “listening to rock music and was jamming to a good song.”

The man was arrested and released for criminal speeding.

AZ-stoned

A UA student was cited and released for marijuana-related charges, and three other students were given referred to the Dean of Students Office for code of conduct violations outside of Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall at 2:30 a.m. on March 9.

Two UAPD officers were conducting a security check of the dorm’s surrounding area when they noticed a smell of marijuana from an exterior southwest courtyard. The cops heard talking and laughing, and as they approached the noise and smell grew stronger.

Two men standing next to a bench and two others sitting were startled by the officers, according to the report. The group appeared to be smoking a hand-rolled cigarette, which one of the men standing immediately dropped.

Police then requested identification from the group. They were all UA students.

The man holding the joint was then cited and released for charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

The joint was entered into UAPD evidence.

Ford speed ahead

A non-UA affiliated man was cited and released for speeding and driving with a suspended license on Campbell Avenue at 9:15 a.m. on March 13.

A UAPD officer stopped a white Ford F150 after the driver was seen driving 51 mph in a 35 mph zone. The driver was unable to provide a driver’s license but verbally identified himself. A record’s check showed the man’s license was suspended and that court action was required.

An officer asked the man if he was aware of his suspended license and the man said he was making payments toward it, but was unsure if it was still suspended. The man’s truck was impounded.

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.

radar, as well as infrared and electro-optical cameras, Hynes said. If activity is detected by a tower, an operator in a command and control center is notified.

The operator can then use the cameras to determine whether the disturbance came from an animal, a person or a vehicle. With this information, the operator can dispatch the appropriate response, Hynes said.

Remotely operated, this technology could minimize the need for agents on foot, said Bo Padus, a deputy project engineer.

He explained that the towers, which can see a human seven and a half miles away, create a highly effective surveillance network by “talking” to one another.

The geography and climate of Tucson offers DRS Technologies, which

has installed systems in Egypt and Jordan, a good test site.

“The desert environment replicates the environment where we have existing contracts as well as where the future of the domestic U.S. security market will be,” Hynes said.

DRS Technologies’ relationship with the UA would likely grow if it is awarded the contract.

“It’s just a really good fit for us,” Hynes said about the company’s relations with the UA, which was deemed a Center of Excellence for Border Security and Immigration as part of a grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. “We’re looking to be a long-term resident at the Tech Park.”

Wright said he is excited about the possibilities.

“We see the opportunity to grow a whole industry base around this kind of an initiative,” Wright said.

He was a freshman, and a back- time at all.

FRESHMAN CENTER Kaleb Tarczewski grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds in Friday’s loss to UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament semifinals.

Frosh coming along for UA KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

March Madness has finally arrived. It’s time for the stars to shine, the veterans to leave a legacy and the coaches to define their careers.

The NCAA tournament is meant to showcase the household names — the Zellers, Burkes and Krzyzewskis of the world — but Arizona’s three role-playing freshmen are starting to become difference-makers themselves.

The play of Kaleb Tarczewski, Brandon Ashley and Grant Jerrett certainly won’t be the reason why the Wildcats would lose a game in the tournament.

But they’re more than capable of being the reason why they’d win.

“It was hard to be mad about the situation in the game,” senior forward Solomon Hill said Monday. “I think we played great basketball. I think Brandon Ashley played one of the best games since he’s been here.

Grant really showed [he] is not all about offense, but when we needed him to make a big shot, he made a big shot for us.”

Despite Arizona’s last second loss to UCLA, Tarczewski, Ashley and Jerrett all made a considerable impact in the Pac-12 tournament semifinal.

Now that the lights are about to get even brighter, the play of a freshman could be the deciding factor between an early exit or a deep tournament run for the sixth-seeded Wildcats.

Luckily for the UA, the young big men are playing some of their best basketball as of late.

“Brandon may have played his best game of the season (against UCLA) … He did a great job,” head coach Sean Miller said after the game. “Our freshmen have done nothing but get better.”

“Watching them play out there, they’re playing at a very, very high level. A much higher level now than they did earlier in the year.”

Even the Bruins’ head coach Ben

Howland was impressed by Tarczewski and Ashley. He said he voted for one of the Arizona three to make the All-Pac-12 freshman team, although he didn’t clarify which one (Tarczewski was an honorable mention).

“Tarczewski and Ashley were fantastic (Friday),” Howland said.

“Thirteen rebounds for Tarczewski, 15 points for Ashley. Those guys will both be pros someday.”

While all three are interchangeable at times, and play similar minutes, each of the three players have drastically different impacts on the game.

Tarczewski

Sophomore Nick Johnson described Tarczewski as a “beast on the boards” in the UCLA game. It wasn’t the case of a Marshawn Lynch-style Beast Mode, though. Tarczewski has been rebounding at a much higher rate recently.

SENIOR FORWARD Solomon Hill speaks with the media after Friday’s loss to UCLA. Hill said Monday that “everyone should be more motivated” after head coach Sean Miller’s spirited comments following the loss.

managers deflating balls to make them easier to hold and catch for his offensive players, and nothing came from that either.

The coach’s spirited words in defense of his players may have been the spark the Arizona needs to put into practice physical defense with a lead, and getting out of a habit of being complacent with those leads, settling for bad shots, allowing teams to creep back in games.

In press conferences, Miller is usually relaxed and reserved, no matter the outcome. To hear him speak so passionately about an in-game occurrence, especially a call by an official, was out of the norm for him.

He said in Sunday’s press conference that he tries to keep the intensity at a high enough level, so when players enter big moments, like in Thursday’s game — which could be the last of seniors Mark Lyons, Solomon Hill, and Kevin Parrom’s careers — they are not overwhelmed by the moment.

Miller is an intense coach, make no mistake about it. In games, he can often be seen flailing his arms violently and screaming at his players on the court to infuse some excitement into their play.

But how Miller behaved on Friday

night amped up the intensity tenfold.

He has the support of the athletic department, displayed in athletic director Greg Byrne’s tweet on Sunday night : “We are aware of the reprimand by the Pac-12. We are now solely focused on the NCAA tournament & I’m glad Sean Miller is our coach.”

In Monday’s weekly press conference, Hill echoed the same sentiment.

“We’re going to rally behind our coach regardless of any situation,” Hill said. “You have to be understandable toward that situation, to lose a game like that and lose the chance to improve our seeding and cut the nets down.

“Deep down, I was frustrated as well with what happened, but Coach is a professional and he has a way to express himself,” Hill continued. “It’s something that we learned from and our team understood the magnitude of the game and the situation that we were in. Hopefully, we can bring the same type of intensity to Thursday’s game.

“I think everyone should be more motivated. Especially seeing Coach in the interview and seeing him give us energy, just give us energy to execute.”

Wildcats start fast but struggle down stretch, continuing theme JAMES KELLEY

A

rizona women’s basketball finished the season on a five-game losing streak ending the career of star player Davellyn Whyte, who leaves the UA with only one postseason appearance.

What happened

The Wildcats (12-18, 4-13 Pac12) started the season 9-3 and 1-0 in league play but fizzled when they faced the tough competition of the Pac-12.

Arizona ran its record to 9-3 in non-conference play, but solely against teams from outside the power conferences. A 58-53 win at New Mexico before about 8,000

fans in The Pit highlighted the Wildcats’ non-conference slate.

Seven of those games were away from home though, five on the road and two in the Bahamas at the Junkanoo Jam, where the UA went 1-1.

Arizona started Pac-12 play with a win at Washington State and a close, 76-65, loss at Washington in the UA’s Pac-12 Network debut.

Arizona then split with the Oregon schools at home, beating the Ducks 100-68.

The Wildcats won at Utah, 62-58, but then the wheels fell off, staring with a 79-36 loss at No. 21 Colorado. The Wildcats lost eight games in a row.

Arizona snapped the streak with a second win over Utah, 61-52, but would close out the season losing five in a row, starting with back to back close losses to arch rival Arizona State. The Sun Devils have beaten the Wildcats five games in a row, 15 of the last 16 and the first 2013 win, 81-77 in double

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 7

During the past seven games, ‘Zeus has averaged 8.3 rebounds per game in 25 minutes of play. Considering his height, that might not seem overly impressive, but it is a huge improvement over his 5.4 rebounds before the recent hot streak.

Tarczewski has also shot much better too, improving from a paltry 47.4 percent for a 7-footer to a much more impressive 63.7 percent in the last 10 games. He still misses the occasional head-scratcher, but he’s playing with a lot more confidence on the offensive end.

Ashley

Ashley was once described as Arizona’s best freshman by Miller, but the athletic forward seemed to hit a wall near the end of the season. He finally broke through Friday, leading Arizona with a team-high 15 points while shooting 7-for-8 from the field.

This type of efficiency isn’t new either. When Ashley scores in doublefigures, he has only once shot below 50 percent. In fact, he’s averaging an incredible 70.7 percent (58-for-82) in his 13 double-figure scoring efforts.

Ashley is already the Wildcats’ most accurate shooter, but in the games where he really gets involved in the offensive end, he almost can’t miss. That type of efficiency from a role player could be crucial in the tournament.

Jerrett

After missing a game against Stanford in early February with foot pain, the sharpshooting freshman has really turned it on from deep.

Jerrett now leads the team in 3-point percentage (40.6) for players with more than four attempts thanks to some great shooting since the one-game absence. He’s made 15 of his last 29 shots from beyond the arc, and some has sunk some huge pressure shots as well.

Jerrett hit a game-tying three against UCLA with 57 seconds remaining in the game Friday before the Bruins’ Kyle Anderson hit the game-winner on the next possession. Jerrett also was the near-hero a few games earlier, again against UCLA. The freshman forward hit backto-back threes in the final minutes of the game to keep Arizona in striking distance. That type of willingness to take a big shot can come in handy in March.

Add that to his team-high 31 blocks — 10 more than the secondplace Tarczewski despite playing 139 minutes less — and Jerrett is really starting to come into his own on the floor.

“It’s kind of hard to celebrate that after a loss. I can’t even really think about it … the only stat I see is the ‘L,’” Whyte said after the game.

Low point

During the eighth loss in a row, 55-42 to Colorado, Whyte was pulled from the game and sat the final nine minutes on the bench for not playing defense. Whyte tied her season low of six points and was read the Riot Act by assistant coach E.C. Hill.

After the game head coach Niya Butts’ press conference was delayed for about an hour and players were not made available to the media.

MVP

It’s clearly Whyte, who is the program’s second best player ever.

Whyte scored 2,059 points in her career, second all time and tallied 4,244 minutes in 126 games. Her prolific career merits comparison to the previous clearly the best Wildcat ever, Adia Barnes, who played 12 seasons in the WNBA and Europe.

Whyte probably could have threatened Barnes’ 2,237 points if she had played in more than one WNIT and zero NCAAs. “She has meant a lot to what we are trying to do,” Butts said after Whyte’s last home game. “If you look at the stat sheets, even from [March 3], she didn’t have the best day scoring but she had all of our assists, she is an all-around player. And if you look at her complete body of work aside from post-season play, that’s all you can really ask for in a player.”

TYLER BAKER/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA’S KAMA GRIFFITTS is fouled trying to score against UCLA. Griffitts is one of many returning players with game experience.

Outlook for next year

The loss of Whyte will be devastating, but a promising recruiting class should soften the blow.

Whyte didn’t need to take a Kobe Bryanttype number of shots to lead the team in scoring, but maybe her absence can allow other players to score more. Every Wildcat who played in the last two games scored.

Arizona signed four high school players, three forwards and a guard. ESPN HoopGurlz has LaBrittney Jones as the No. 23 forward of the 2013 class, Dejza James as the No. 34 forward and forward Breanna Workman as the No. 71 forward.

In 2013-14 it will be tough to get back to the their first WNIT since 2010-11 season or the UA’s first big dance since 2005, but the cupboard is not bare.

approximately 45 minutes to absorb the alcohol in a drink. Then it takes an additional one to two hours to metabolize and eliminate the alcohol. Time to “zero BAC” is one hour for a 200 lb. male, and two hours for a 140 lb. female.

Gender is clearly a factor. If you are female, don’t compare yourself to your male friends when it comes to drinking. It will take you longer to metabolize alcohol because women have less of the enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase, than men have. Weight is also an important factor in BAC: if you weigh more, your BAC will be lower than someone weighing less than you do-even if you consume the same amount of alcohol.

While one standard drink won’t put you anywhere close to the 0.08% BAC legal limit, recent research indicates that even 0.01% BAC is associated with significantly more dangerous accidents than 0.00% BAC. Researchers at the University of California at San Diego found that accident severity increased significantly even when drivers were merely “buzzed”– well below the 0.08% BAC level of DUI. In short, any alcohol is more dangerous than NO alcohol. It’s always best to use a sober designated driver.

Williams and Pope used their critical accolades to their advantage, opting out of record label support for Afraid of Heights and instead tephen Pope is nervous, and rightfully so. The bassist for funding production on their own. the Los Angeles-based surf punk band Wavves is about to “Any time you have a label, no embark on a six-week tour with FIDLAR and Cheatahs, who matter how small the label is, they’ll are both supporting acts that are as riotous as they are loud.

Formed in 2008 by Williams, Wavves pushed a lo-fi and fuzzed- years, Pope and Williams know the intricacies of recording deals, and out sound that was arguably at the forefront of the resurgence made their own terms for releasing of both shoegaze and surf rock, while evoking the apathy and Afraid of Heights. insolence of grunge.

Afraid of Heights displays. Lead single “Demon To Lean On” finds Williams channeling Kurt Cobain, making snarling references to numb, suicidal abandonment over big pop structures. Writing from such a dark place comes with the environment, as Pope can attest to.

“It was a pretty weird time, and not in a positive way,” he said. “We were just sort of drinking way too much, and we pretty much only see each other. Being locked in a dark room for 15 hours a day for a year isn’t good for your psyche.”

Technical obstacles aside, Afraid of Heights is still a confectionary piece of work, digestible to the newest listener while still holding true to sonic elements that will please diehard fans.

Wavves may be best at dystopian, bummed-out beach music, but they’re also masters at juxtaposition, and Afraid of Heights doesn’t let you forget that.

“King of the Beach is often called a sunny, summer album, but it was recorded in the dead of winter in Mississippi, and now they’re saying this new album sounds dark and depressing and it was recorded in bright and sunny LA,” Pope said. “Surroundings do influence you but in different ways than you’d expect.”
