Delta Chi efforts halted after suspension Dramatic disconnect stonewalls fraternity’s charity fundraising

By Savannah Martin DAILY WILDCAT “The best part of Shoebox Recycling, aside from recycling shoes, is that our whole goal is connecting people,” said Lisa Pomerantz, so-called Queen of Soles at Shoebox Recycling company, which began collaborating with the UA chapter of the Delta Chi fraternity

earlier this month.

Her statement went from inspirational to ironic in a matter of days.

Rather than fostering a connection, this story has exposed miscommunication and misunderstanding between greek organizations and the Dean of Students Office, forcing Delta Chi’s project with the recycling company to a screeching halt.

I started reporting on this story after the Daily Wildcat received an email from a proud parent indicating the UA chapter of Delta Chi had begun a partnership with Shoebox

Recycling. The fraternity would be the first organization in Arizona to collaborate with the company, and it would launch its new campuswide initiative on March 26.

For every pound of unwanted shoes it collected from the UA community, Delta Chi would receive 50 cents from Shoebox Recycling. Meanwhile, the company would distribute the shoes to customers worldwide for reuse.

“What a great way to get back into the community,” said Daniel Cooper, a member of Delta Chi and political science sophomore. “I think it’s a

great way to show that we’re not just a fraternity. We care.”

Suddenly, Cooper’s tone changed from one of excitement to one of hesitation. He leaned forward. Delta Chi is “on probation,” he said, so he and another Delta Chi member are spearheading the project, “sort of.”

Perplexed, I looked to Cooper for clarification only to see that he was just as puzzled as I was.

I later discovered that Delta Chi is not on probation, but “interim suspension.”

In other words, Delta Chi is not, for the moment, a recognized UA fraternity.

In fact, the UA chapter has been suspended since March 2, when it received a letter from the Dean of Students Office indicating it is under investigation, according to Johanne Ives, assistant dean of students and director for Fraternity and Sorority Programs.

The results of the case will determine whether or not the university revokes the chapter’s status. Until the Dean of Students Office reaches a verdict, the details of the case cannot be disclosed and Delta Chi must cease all

The University of Arizona Medical Center has implemented “CinemaVision” goggles into its MRI setup, allowing patients to watch movies and TV shows during the exam. The goggles not only provide entertainment for patients, but also keep them still during the procedure, helping doctors take a better scan.

CinemaVision goggles help MRI patients to ease nerves

By Yara Askar DAILY WILDCAT

Patients at the University of Arizona Medical Center may start enjoying MRI exams more, as the center has started to let patients use special goggles that play movies.

Resonance Technology Inc. provides patients with “CinemaVision” goggles to make an MRI exam a more positive scanning experience. With a 2-inch LCD screen that can play a movie or a television show, patients can now ease their nerves during a long, intimidating MRI screening that requires some to sit still for up to an hour.

The goggles include a headset and a microphone command that enables two-way communication between the patient and the tech-

nologist. The headsets are built with a noise cancellation system that blocks out the machine noise, said Scott Squire, a senior MRI research specialist.

Before the center started using these goggles, most patients took a sedation drug that helped them fall asleep, which has its own health risks. With goggles, patients feel less isolated and confined, Squire said. The goggles pose no risk or effect to the imaging for the machines, he added.

Mokhtar Ziarati, founder and CEO of Resonance Technology Inc., noticed that a lot of patients who are claustrophobic needed to be sedated upon entering the MRI, said Susana Montero, the company’s marketing director.

As an electrical engineer, Ziarati worked on fixing the MRI

machines when he came up with the idea for “CinemaVision” goggles, which would help patients control their nerves without being drugged before an MRI exam, Montero said. The idea began with an audio concept that later included a video system, she added.

Through the goggles, patients can watch shows, movies or simply listen to the radio to calm their nerves in a claustrophobic situation, said Lisa Morrison, manager of Tucson Medical Center radiology department. MRI exams can take an hour or two and, with the goggles, patients can easily pass the time without continuously thinking about the machine’s loud noises or being isolated in a dark room.

“The main thing is that the person has to hold still and that is why

we want to make sure that people were comfortable and not distracted,” Morrison added. “Because of the loud noise, especially if you’re in pain, it makes it harder.”

Although an MRI exam can be as short as 20 minutes, it can still be a daunting experience for younger children, said Bobby Kalb, an associate professor of radiology. These goggles can help ease children’s fear about going through the machine, he said.

In a parent testimony online, a man’s son was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was required to take various MRI screenings. He had to be sedated at the age of 7.

With the use of the goggles, the man said his son was no longer afraid to enter the MRI machine

Ten UA grad programs are ranked among the best in the nation, according to the U.S. News & World Report’s 2013 list of best graduate schools.

The Best Graduate Schools rankings annually evaluate programs in business, education, engineering, law and medicine, and periodically rank programs in sciences, social sciences, humanities, health sciences and other disciplines, to produce several Top 10 lists.

U.S. News & World Report looked at more than 1,200 graduate programs for this year’s rankings. The data came from surveys of administrators at more than 1,200 programs and more than 13,000 academics and professionals.

The UA’s geology graduate program ranked No. 1 in the nation for the third year in a row. Karl Flessa, department head of geosciences, said that although the geosciences graduate program has held a No. 1 status for a long period of time, it is great to now be recognized nationally.

“I think that it is because of the quality of graduate students that we produce,” Flessa said. “Our grad students go on to prestigious positions in the industry and at universities, this is a testimony of the quality of education and research guided by our faculty. We can’t be number one without the students.”

Six other graduate programs in the UA College of Science also placed in the top 10 of each of their fields, including speech, language and hearing sciences at No. 5; ecology and evolutionary biology at No. 9; Earth and environmental sciences at No. 7; geochemistry at No. 10; atomic, molecular and optical physics also at No. 7 and analytical chemistry at No. 6.

Two programs in the Eller College of Management rose up the ranks on the Top 10 lists from 2012 to 2013, including management information systems from No. 7 to No. 5, and the McGuire

Q&A Student strives to be on ABOR

Kaitlin Thompson is a political science senior and a student regent designee from Northern Arizona University. She will also attend graduate school to get a master’s degree in public administration. If approved by the Legislature, Thompson will begin her two-year term on the Arizona Board of Regents on July 1.

Daily Wildcat: What made you want to become a student regent, and what does it mean to you?

Thompson: I have always had a strong interest in local government.

When I was 15, I joined the Mayor’s Youth Commission of Glendale.

From there, I was appointed to Glen-

dale’s library board as a student representative. From that point I pretty much knew that was what I wanted to do as a career and as my major.

That’s how I decided to choose political science and to pursue that path. I was further encouraged when I was a policy intern in the governor’s office. I was able to do a lot of public policy research and sit in on important meetings. That solidified it completely.

For me, being a student regent means being the voice for students, to give my all and give my absolute dedication to make sure student voices are heard at the state level. A lot of states don’t even have student regents, so I think in Arizona, we’re really fortunate there is a role for students on the state level and they

can have a say. It’s a check for accountability and I think more states should have them.

How do you plan to speak on behalf of students?

I think it’s really important that I allow for as much student input as possible. My regent’s email will be set up before my term officially begins. I hope constituents reach out to me and contact me so I know what their needs are. I can research on my own what needs to be done and what’s really important for students, and that’s great, but it can’t replace getting those actual emails and communication from students.

Students start T-shirt Observance honors company for activists Holocaust victims

By Kaleb Stephens

Thanks to a collaboration between a UA student and students from other institutions around the country, activists can combine charity with style.

A new clothing company, Serengetee, creates T-shirts with unique pockets made of fabrics collected from around the world.

Started by university students, Serengetee focuses on marketing to universities and has a strong online presence, with a website, Twitter and Facebook page where customers can post pictures of their shirts.

Its student cofounders come from around the country, and include Ryan Westberg, an economics junior from the UA and the company’s chief marketing officer as well as Jeff Steitz of Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, Calif., Sean Yen, of Pitzer College in Los Angeles, and Thomas Carey, of Harvey Mudd College, also in Claremont.

Serengetee launched its website on Feb. 17, and the company sold more than 300 shirts in its first month.

While abroad on Semester at Sea last semester, Serengetee CEO Jeff Steitz collected fabrics from Africa, Asia and Central America. Now the company has more than 70 different fabrics from 20 different countries.

Current Semester at Sea students are now traveling the world, increasing Serengetee’s collection.

“By connecting our tees to the world through our fabric pockets, we have given popular T-shirt styles an identity and a fashionable twist,” Westberg said.

mission, the company donates 50 percent of its profits back to the country where the fabrics come from, with 25 percent of the profits donated directly to its partner charity in each country. The other 25 percent is invested in regional microfinance, infrastructure or small business investments.

Serengetee’s current featured charities include Starfish Greathearts Association in South Africa, which focuses on AIDS support and City of Hope Refuge, an orphanage in Ghana.

It also donates to the International Pediatric Specialists Alliance for the Children of Vietnam, the World is Just a Book Away in Indonesia, and Sustainable Oceans International in Australia and New Zealand. In Mexico and the United States, it donates to Simply Smiles, which helps provide aid to

The Hillel Center will hold its annual 24-hour Holocaust vigil on the UA Mall today, starting at noon.

The student-run vigil will be held in remembrance of victims of the Holocaust and to honor the lives of its survivors.

“Although we are a Jewish organization, we want people to know that the vigil will not only honor the Jewish victims and survivors of the Holocaust, but everyone who was in the concentration camps and lived in that time, regardless of race or religion,” said Alyssa Silva, an anthropology freshman who is a part of the vigil’s committee.

The schedule includes a reading of the names of those who died in the Holocaust, as well as a list of speakers that includes adjunct instructor of Judaic Studies Deborah Kaye and associate professor of Judaic Studies David Graizbord.

Firsthand accounts from Holocaust survivors will also be told, and these survivors will have a panel discussion about their lives and experiences.

On the Mall, there will be three “museum pods” that will focus on the history of the Holocaust. One of the pods will display the barracks that served as living quarters for the victims, and another will focus on the cattle cars that they were transported in.

organized activity, including its shoe-recycling fundraiser.

This didn’t make sense to Alex Argos, Delta Chi president.

“It don’t see how the school can take away a fundraiser. I don’t even think it’s legal,” he said. “It just boggles my mind!

I mean, what are we here for?”

Delta Chi didn’t understand what it could and could not do as a chapter during the investigation, he said. Pomerantz and Shoebox Recycling were also unaware.

“I would hope they (university officials) would recognize that Delta Chi is trying to do something good for their fraternity, for their school, for Arizona and for people,” Pomerantz said. However, if the Dean of Students Office decides the fraternity can’t go through with the fundraiser, the company will heed its decision.

Once it became clear that Delta Chi and the Dean of Students Office weren’t on

The Hillel Center will host its annual 24-hour Holocaust vigil starting at noon today. The event commemorates victims and survivors of the Holocaust.

While the first two pods will detail the experience of those who lived through the Holocaust, the final pod will be a memorial museum and will feature music, candles and movies intended to honor the lives of those who suffered.

Although the vigil is an annual event, Leah Rafal, a Judaic studies senior and a member of the committee, said there will be new parts to the vigil this year.

“We will be constructing butterflies that we will put on a big wall to honor the lives of the 1.5 million children who died in the Holocaust,” she said.

The butterfly construction, a community service effort known as the Butterfly Project, will help make paper butterflies and send them to

the Holocaust Museum in Houston, which honors the memory of children who died in the Holocaust.

the same page, I turned to other fraternities to explain the disconnect. When it comes to communication regarding Greek Life investigations, “vague” seems to be the name of the game.

“You’re kind of left in the dark until they (university officials) understand all of the facts,” said Pi Kappa Alpha President Charles Eisner, a junior studying family studies and human development. Eisner said he thinks the university withholds details to prevent false accusations, but in reality, doing so throws the Greeks into limbo.

Stuck somewhere between fully-functional fraternity life and a greek graveyard, fraternities may struggle to fulfill their role on campus. Some chapter members may not understand the UA’s policies, breaking rules they are unaware of and endangering the entire fraternity.

Still, ignorance is no excuse, and in the end, what the Dean of Students Office says goes.

“If they tell us we can’t do

something, then we’re going to listen and take that to heart,” Eisner said.

Delta Chi has followed suit.

It put the shoe-recycling project on hold until the case is closed and the chapter’s status is determined. The Dean of Students Office could reinstate the chapter and allow it to continue with the fundraiser, or it could nix the fraternity’s UA recognition all together.

But I may never hear the end of that story. I received an email from Argos Friday evening, and from what I gathered, he wants me stay out of his chapter’s business: “Savanna (sic), The daily wildcat does not need to be involved and should not be involved in anything about your (sic) chapter being on suspension or in trouble, the only thing that you should even consider writing about would be our fundraiser, That is all, it would be best for you to leave our investigation private between myself and Johanne (Ives). Thanks again, Alex”

What do you feel the biggest flaw in the university system is, and how will you help improve it?

I would say the biggest flaw is that not enough students actually go out and make their voices heard. I would like to see more students actively involved. From my perspective, I’d like to see more students voicing their opinions and having them heard. I will be very amenable to having students come visit in the office and talk about any issues. I am open to all means of communication.

What are two things you want to work on as a student regent?

I think graduation rates are really huge and I know that’s a big priority for the board as well. I love that their vision for 2020 is to have increased graduation rates without sacrificing the quality of education while increasing research endeavors. I think that’s a really great plan. Graduation rates can be increased if underrepresented students, like first-generation college students, have access to support and resources within their university.

Also, I know a previous student regent did a lot of successful work to make textbooks cheaper for students, which is work I would really like to continue. I think that a lot of publishers are having more digital editions of textbooks and I would like to see that become more available on campus. That way, campus bookstores can compete in the market economy.

How will you find time to balance your responsibilities between graduate school and serving on the board?

I am already seeing my schedule get busier after the announcement of my selection, but I’ve always had really good time management skills. There have been times in my life where I’ve worked, gone to school and done lots of community service all at the same time. I know I’m prepared for it, because I know how to balance my time. I know how to plan free time too so I don’t get burned out or overstressed.

Also, if you’re doing something you enjoy, it’s not just work — it’s fun too. I know I’m really going to enjoy serving this position and I’m really looking forward to it. I know it’ll have its challenging times and issues will come up, but I welcome those challenges. I’m ready to roll my sleeves up and get to work.

ZOO MAKES

BIG CHANGES

By Kate Newton Daily Wildcat

A

7-acre expansion to Tucson’s Reid Park Zoo opened to the public today, and Mabu, Samba, Punga, Sundzu and Lungile — a family of African elephants — are at the center of this long-awaited addition.

The seven-year endeavor cost an estimated $9.7 million.

The effort, called Expedition Tanzania, was a joint venture between the Reid Park Zoological Society and the city of Tucson, according to the city of Tucson’s website. Equipped with a barn, 98,000-gallon pool, 3 acres of open space and plenty of walking paths for visitors, Expedition Tanzania offers an exciting experience for those eager to see the elephants up close.

“Every capital project has a story,” said Fred Gray, director of the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department, at Expedition Tanzania’s grand opening event on Friday. “This one is a novel.”

Gray said the idea to construct a new exhibit arose when the city was deciding whether or not to keep elephants on-site at the zoo. City officials supported the project because of its potential for expansive educational opportunities, tourism growth and the acquisition of a new herd with breeding possibilities.

“Many may recall that the initial fundraising efforts came from children saving nickels, quarters and dimes, putting them in a container and bringing them to the zoo,” Gray said. Significant private contributors soon followed, such as the Jim Click Family Foundation, Tucson Electric Power and former Tucson Zoological Society’s board member Linda Hinds’ entire estate.

GAME FREAK

People still buy, play boring games Jason Krell Daily Wildcat

T

hink about your favorite video game, then think about why you love it. It’s probably chock full of exciting gameplay, awesome graphics and an engaging story. Now think of the game you play most often. It’s probably boring as shit.

Didn’t realize it, huh? The truth is that a surprising amount of video games are specifically designed to be boring.

Look at most gaming apps for mobile devices and there’s one common trend: None of them are exciting.

Sure, developers don’t have a lot of leeway to design super exciting games for a phone, especially if they don’t want to charge an obscene amount of money no one would pay. But that isn’t what’s driving them, because people are happy to play really boring games. Take a look at the newest installation of the Angry Birds series, “Angry Birds Space,” which reached 10 million downloads in

less than three days, according to the game’s Twitter account.

To be frank, while “Angry Birds Space” has some differences from the original, the fundamentals are the same — and anyone who’s played any Angry Birds game can attest to the fact that you do pretty much the same damn thing over and over again.

Despite this, I bought it the day it came out. Why? Sometimes it’s just nice to be bored.

Not a good enough example?

Fine. Think about how often you’ve played Solitaire, Minesweeper, or another of the free games preloaded onto every computer.

Sure, they’re free, but they also are unproductive. They’re fun in a mindless way, but they still don’t serve a useful purpose.

All of those too simple for a real comparison? OK, look at any Pokémon video game. They’re relatively fun at first, catching, evolving and breeding all the different Pokémon, but eventually

PHOTO COURTESY OF ROVIO

there’s nothing left to do besides run through the Elite Four until either someone has an aneurysm or all of your Pokémon are level 100. But people still play these games repeatedly.

Want more complexity? Take any game with a good story and replay it within a year of having beaten it.

If the option exists, there’s a good chance most of the dialogue will get

skipped in favor of getting straight to the action. But that’s predictable because it’s familiar. Then it’s just about crushing the game on the same difficulty or kicking it up a notch. Challenging, like the other games, but still boring.

The essence of video games is creating something entertaining, but also playable with little thought.

That minimalistic principle is at the

heart of most games. Games don’t have to be engaging, they just have to be something a person can lose themselves in.

Sometimes people just want to zone out and do something mindless. That’s where Solitaire, or those gaming apps, or replaying video games but skipping half the content comes in. It’s just a matter of being comforted in the ease of playing.

Yes, many hardcore gamers demand more from their games, but most people aren’t hardcore gamers at all. They’re people with an iPhone or an Android who just want something to do in class instead of listening to a lecture. They’re adults who don’t have the time to learn to play anything more complex. They’re kids just learning the concept of what a video game is.

Most video games these days are boring on purpose, and you pay for them — sometimes a decent amount of money — with a smile on your face. Or you would smile if the games weren’t busy distracting you with how boring they are.

Learning can pay off for students Serena Valdez Daily Wildcat

O

ne of the biggest frustrations of having roommates, especially if they’re your friends, is getting everyone to pay their portion of the rent and other expenses on time.

Luckily, one student actually did something about it. Matthew Garten, a UA business management senior, was tired of the hassle required to get his roommates to pay their share of the rent on time.

So instead of sitting around and complaining about it, he made a website that would deal with all the hassle for him.

This is cool because not only is he a student like everyone else, he’s a student who developed something to serve all students nationwide.

Not to mention, he’s also profiting from it.

The website, www.zsplit.com, will be open for beta users by the end of this month. It will help split the costs of expenses like rent for disorganized and clueless college students living together by notifying each individual of the bill amount. They can then authorize their bank account to pay the bill. And voila, the issue of confronting your roommates about paying rent is gone.

One of the most common problems in college is finally solved, and a special congratulations should go to Garten because he’s a student.

Excel spreadsheets, calendars taped to the refrigerator with payment deadlines, friendly emails and text messages about the upcoming bills don’t cut through the awkwardness of having to ask a friend for money.

The different uses for this site are endless: For instance, keeping everyone from eating the food you bought for yourself or getting your roommates to agree to a chore wheel. Nagging reminders come from the website, and making payments is simple and uncomplicated. And the site demonstrates what students can do on their own to proactively solve college problems.

What sets Garten apart is how he was able to readily apply what he learned from his classes to something realistic and accessible. It shows that what is learned in the classroom can actually amount to something if students take the time to see the opportunities that are out there.

Other students should seek to emulate Garten’s innovation and use it as motivation to figure out a way to solve problems people face every day and make money off of it.

acebook, the social networking site touted for making connections and enriching relationships, is on its way to enemy territory.

The Chronicle of Higher Education reported on a new Facebook plug-in called EnemyGraph, which allows users to list their enemies on their Facebook profiles, alongside their hundreds of “friends.”

The program was created by Dean Terry, director of the emerging media and communications program at the University of Texas at Dallas. He was inspired by Facebook’s use and abuse of the like button, which leads to the site’s emphasis on friendships and happiness. Before everyone writes Terry off as a pessimist, he makes a valid point.

Of all the ways you could have presented this wonderful forum, why depict impassioned debate from the Latino community as aggressive and angry?

Sure, if taken too seriously people can get mean, show their ugly sides and reveal their true colors.

Or, people can just have some honest fun with it. An enemy can be anything or anyone.

For example, on EnemyGraph’s website, people can see trending enemies such as Rick Santorum, Rush Limbaugh and Nickelback.

When people venture out of the virtual world and into the real one, they’re not constantly complimenting each other, liking each other’s ideas, outfits or looks.

People rarely even make eye contact with each other.

Being a little negative or a little realistic on Facebook doesn’t have to be taboo. EnemyGraph is a feature to be liked.

Police Beat

By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Runaways

University of Arizona Police Department officers were dispatched to find two students who had warrants out for their arrest at 2 a.m. on Monday. Officers on patrol saw two men who matched the police report. When the men noticed the police officers approaching them, they began to run away.

Officers chased the men through residential apartments on East Fourth Street near the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage. An officer caught one of the men and detained him. The officer did not read the man his Miranda rights or arrest him because he wanted to figure out why the student ran away. When the officer asked the man why he fled, the man replied, “I was running because my buddy urinated in public and I knew it was illegal.“ The officer asked if the man was a student and the man said, “Yes, I am a track and field athlete attending the university on a scholarship.”

The other officer caught the second student, who was questioned and arrested. The officer searched him, and found a fake driver’s license. The officer smelled alcohol coming from the man’s breath. When the officer asked why he ran away, the student said, “In Florida, where I am from, police just attack people and beat them up for no reason.” The man refused to answer any further questions and was cited and taken to Pima County Jail for minor in possession of alcohol in body and for possessing a fake driver’s license. The track and field athlete was released from the scene.

Woman reports sexual assault

Two female students were driving on Campbell Avenue near Mabel Street when another woman, who was screaming and saying that she had been sexually assaulted and buried alive earlier that evening, flagged them down at 2:03 a.m. on Monday.

The two women immediately called the police and told them what the other woman had been shouting.

Officers arrived and saw a car pulled over on the side of the road, with the woman in the backseat. She was mumbling and speaking in incomplete sentences. The officers called Tucson Medical Services, who evaluated her and noticed that her knees were scraped and that her black dress and feet were dirty. Officers saw that her hair was messy and looked as if someone had grabbed it.

The woman told the officers that she was at a party when three men grabbed her and tried to sexually assault her. The men carried her out of the party and started to cover her with dirt. Other officers went to the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house, where the woman lived, to ask members if they knew anything about the incident. None of the sorority members knew what happened. The woman was taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center and officers told the center that she was referred there for extreme intoxication and potential rape.

“Indigenous Migration and Urbanization in Rural Guatemala” with Dr. Ruth Piedrasanta Herrera This talk seeks to expose the construction boom in the rural, indigenous communities of Guatemala, linked to the economic migration to the U.S. that exploded at the turn of the century.

This collective commitment to construction represents urban development that will bring about redefinitions of rural and urban as seen in this new rural context. In this new redefinition, several things intervene: the new lifestyles that represent the migration experience; the strong processes of urbanization, resented in some communities (municipal centers and places at the urban-rural divide); and changes in the domestic spaces – which don’t only modify but rather establish a clean break with the environment that until now has characterized these communities.

Also, this talk will address the global brands that are evident at the local level, as well as the relationships that are maintained in place, in the anthropological sense.

Each screening is followed by a guest speaker.

The Oscar-nominated documentary “We Were Here” documents the coming of what was called the “gay plague” in the early 1980s. It illuminates the profound personal and community issues raised by the AIDS epidemic as well as the broad political and social upheavals it unleashed. It offers a cathartic validation for the generation that suffered through and responded to the onset of AIDS. It opens a window of understanding to those who have only the vaguest notions of what transpired in those years. It provides insight into what society could and should offer its citizens in the way of medical care, social services and community support.

From artists and healers, teachers and entrepreneurs, women who plowed the land and those who were instrumental in establishing laws for the new territory of Arizona, many of these women became known for their fortitude in the face of adversity, their confrontation of extraordinary and sometimes dangerous situations, their adventuresome spirits and their dedication to improving the lives of others. Some of these women gained a degree of celebrity across the state, within their communities and throughout their tribal regions. Others may be relatively unknown.

on the mend Despite head coach Mike Candrea’s absence, Wildcats bounce back and win big against San Diego State

By Cameron Moon Daily Wildcat The Arizona softball team has struggled to get hits when it needed them late in games. But hits were not an issue Tuesday night, however, as the Wildcats (20-8, 0-3 Pac-12), added their usual tough defense and pitching to the timely hitting in a convincing 8-0 win.

The win was all the more impressive considering Arizona’s head coach and eight-time NCAA champion Mike Candrea was at home resting following a nightlong stay in the hospital due to tightness in his chest. Assistant coach Larry Ray said the team was more focused than ever.

“We just wanted to focus on the game and not worry about outside influences,” Ray said. “I’m very proud of them. They pitched well. I’m thrilled.”

Prior to the game, Ray gave the team a speech, in which he emphasized how important a win on Tuesday would be. Following the game, Arizona third baseman Jessica Spigner pinpointed why the team was so motivated to get the win and put a weekend sweep at the hands of ASU behind them.

“It felt really good,” Spigner said.

“This weekend was tough, but you have to learn from the past and forget about it. You have to learn from your mistakes and move forward. That’s what we did tonight. We got the win for him tonight.”

Sophomore pitcher Shelby Babcock had a strong start, shutting out the Aztecs and giving up just six hits after facing 21 batters, improving her record to 10-5 on the season.

San Diego State simply was never able to get going, falling behind 5-0 in the second inning after junior Brigette Del Ponte hit the first of her two home runs — a three-run blast into straight away center field. The Wildcats outhit the Aztecs 9-6 and were helped by two fielding errors by San Diego State shortstop Haley Miles.

“It’s relieving to be up on our runs and actually shutting another team out,” Del Ponte said. “Shelby let our defense work today.”

The Wildcats will face the Aztecs again in the final game of their series today at 3 p.m. at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Arizona was able to get a dominating Gordon bates / Daily Wildcat win on Tuesday, but Spigner and the Brigette Del Ponte slides safely into second base on Tuesday night against San Diego State.

the roster.

In just four innings pitched on the season, Cunningham is saddled with an ERA of 15.75.

The solution to this issue is not an easy one for Arizona head coach Andy Lopez.

“Our starters have to go eight (innings),” Lopez said. “I’m not going to lie, the starters got to go, and they know that.”

As of now, Lopez is not expecting anything productive from the middle of the bullpen, and that’s no way to win ballgames.

“If they want to surprise me, I’m all for it,” Lopez said. “I like surprises, but here’s the honest answer: The starters have to go and get the ball to Manthei and Troupe.”

Daily Wildcat For the No. 8 Arizona baseball team, the wide gap in the pitching staff has been its Achilles heel.

The starters, primarily Kurt Heyer and Konner Wade, have been dominant and boast a combined 7-1 record through the first 25 games of the season.

At the end of the bullpen, Stephen Manthei and Mathew Troupe have been anchoring the Wildcats’ closing spots.

Against Oregon State last weekend, Troupe finished off Saturday and Sunday with consecutive saves.

The middle of the bullpen, however, gets awfully murky.

Manthei said that the problems are in the fundamentals.

“It’s coming in and throwing Winning at home strikes,” he said. “The middle guys essential have struggled with that a bit.”

Daily Wildcat The sounds heard at a baseball game and at a softball game are eerily similar. Everything from the ping of the bat to the catcher throwing out someone who is trying to steal second base sounds the same — almost everything, that is.

In softball, pitchers pitch underhand, and before releasing the ball, there is a distinct slapping sound the pitchers make by hitting their glove against their leg. Hitting the glove against oneself 100 or so times per game may seem like it would become bothersome or hurtful, but Arizona’s Kristen Arriola, who has not pitched since Little League, says it’s just part of the routine.

“

“

In that motion, your arm doesn’t really have anywhere else to go but your leg, so I just always slapped my leg.

­— Arizona pitcher Shelby Babcock

“It’s just a routine thing that pitchers do that they don’t think about,” Arriola said. “I’m sure there are things I do when I hit or field that I don’t think about. It’s just something they’ve done all their lives that carried on until college.”

According to thesoftball channel.com, there are many different views on what the slap actually does for pitchers. Active users of the site debate the use of the slap, with many describing it as a way to get down timing before the pitch is released.

Users also said slapping the glove while releasing is to keep all forward motion of the pitcher centralized and moving in one direction. These ideas are great, but according to sophomore pitcher Shelby Babcock, “slapping” has no real purpose.

keith hickman-Perfetti / Daily Wildcat

Shelby Babcok pitches on March 21 against New Mexico State. Babcock said that slapping her leg as she winds up to pitch really has no purpose.

“That’s just something I’ve done since I was little,” Babcock said. “In that motion, your arm doesn’t really have anywhere else to go but your leg, so I just always slapped my leg.”

In the book “The Softball Pitching Edge,” author Cheri Kempf argues the slap can be for continuing momentum or distracting the hitters, but there are negative consequences of glove slapping, most commonly

bruising and soreness in the legs.

However, Kempf also says that slapping the glove encourages a better wrist snap and follow-through, both essential to throwing good pitches.

According to UA pitching coach Stacy Iveson, the slapping isn’t taught to players by college coaches because, by the time coaches get to

UA wheelchair basketball team wins tourney

By Nicole Dimtsios Daily Wildcat

There’s a culture change going on for the UA women’s wheelchair basketball team.

Arizona defeated the Denver Lady Rolling Nuggets 33-30 on Saturday to win the program’s first national championship in the women’s division of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association national tournament.

The tournament took place at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

“We’ve been averaging 60 points all year long and for some reason we just could not make buckets,” head coach Pete Hughes said. “Fortunately our defense was really strong. We sucked it up and withstood the storm.”

The team was led by leading scorer Loraine Gonzales, 34, a former Paralympian who took home a gold medal with the U.S. team in Beijing in 2008.

Gonzales had 18 points, 16 of which came in the second half.

“For them to now win a national championship that they have never won before, it says more than just winning,” Gonzales said. “It says that the Arizona program is trying to make a turn.”

The national championship caps a journey that started three years ago when Hughes took over the head coaching job of the UA’s women’s wheelchair basketball team. Gonzales said he’s a big part of why she decided to be part of the team, even though she lives in Rio Rancho, N.M., near Albuquerque. “(Hughes) wants them to have their dreams come true. He wants them to succeed in their goals,” Gonzales said.

“If that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t want to be a part of the program.”

Gonzales was a high school basketball athlete before an ACL injury and complications with a

bone infection required her to have more than 40 surgeries to try to save her leg. When the surgeries were unsuccessful, her leg was amputated below the knee.

“I was 19 years old. I had been an athlete my whole life,” Gonzales said.

“At that point I didn’t really know what I was going to do. I saw wheelchair basketball late one night on some off-cable channel. At that moment, I got on the computer, found my local team and I haven’t looked back since.”

The seven-member team includes Gonzales, who spent the last two years playing professionally in Italy, and second-year pharmacy student Jenn Poist, who will represent the U.S. in London at the 2012 Paralympics.

Poist was diagnosed with a spinal tumor when she was 7 years old and was paralyzed from the waist down.

UA track set to host Jim Click Shootout

By Emi Komiya Daily Wildcat Now easing into the outdoor season, the Arizona track team is eager to compete at the highest level ever hosted at Roy P. Drachman Stadium as the Wildcats host the Jim Click Shootout this weekend.

“Jim Click is going to be a fun meet, we have all our athletes competing in their specialties,” said track and field head coach Fred Harvey.

Among the attendees this year are challenging schools from all over the country, including Miami, Clemson, Penn State and Ohio State.

“This is where we start building to April, which is what I like to call the championship portion of the season,” Harvey said. “It’s preparation for some of the bigger invitationals.”

Harvey said most athletes prefer the outdoor season and that results in better performances. The addition of

She began playing wheelchair basketball at 14 years old.

Arizona competed against the U.S. Paralympic team in November 2011, something that benefitted both the team and Poist’s quest to be selected in the try out to represent her country that took place in January.

“We have such an advanced elite team,” said Hughes, who was recruited to play wheelchair basketball for the Arizona men’s wheelchair basketball team in 2005. “We lost to them by only 11 points. We gave them a real battle. We realized, ‘Hey, if we can stick with team USA, we can beat anybody.’”

For Poist, the balance between pharmacy school and wheelchair basketball is “really difficult.” The team practices four times and lifts weights three times a week at the Student Recreation Center. Because of the demand of her course work and her involvement in the Paralympics, she will have to take off the fall 2012 semester.

Poist began playing at the for UA five years ago, and said making the U.S. team had been a goal since she started playing wheelchair basketball in college. Because she “has always wanted to get to that level,” Arizona’s game against team USA was helpful for her dream of becoming a

Junior hurdler Georganne Moline medically redshirted last December after tearing her PCL. Week-by-week diagnoses led Moline to sit out the entire indoor season. She will participate in her specialty event, the 400-hurdles, this weekend for the first time in a year.

“She is definitely someone to look out for these next few months,” Harvey said.

“She’ll be a great addition to the team.”

A home-field advantage is ideal for the coaches to gauge the rest of the season and where each athlete stands.

“From a coach’s standpoint, there’s no question being home is an advantage,” Harvey said. “We are able to keep a routine of rest and study, train longer into the week and not have to worry about flying or hotels.”

Junior high jumpers Nick Ross and Brigetta Barrett are looking to carry

Paralympian.

“They’ve won the past two Paralympics gold medals,” Poist said.

“Playing against them really showed me what their strong points are at as a team. I knew what the coaches on that team liked to see in players.”

She is one of 12 players who will represent the U.S. in August. After she returns from England, Poist said she will focus on her career, rather than playing basketball professionally overseas.

The individual and team success of the program shows that Hughes is a part of something bigger as a coach at the UA, which hosts the largest disabled sports program in the nation.

He gives disabled athletes the chance to continue to compete.

“We’re recruiting all the time,” Hughes said. “If you blew your knee out, and you miss basketball, this is an option to play basketball. You just have to do it from a wheelchair.”

And for Poist, that’s the opportunity she’s been chasing since she first became interested in wheelchair basketball.

“Basketball is probably the most important thing in my life,” Poist said.

“It’s really given me an outlet in certain issues. It’s given me a way to accept being disabled.

“Everyone has their own struggles that they have to deal with and everyone has found a way to deal with it.

Everyone has gone through adversity and yet they’ve all overcome it.”

confidence gained from the indoor season to the outdoor arena.

“For me it’s about staying confident yet humble,” Barrett said. “You never have the perfect jump so it’s about improving each time and taking full advantage of every practice.”

A new high jumping pit in Arizona has Ross eager to try out a new jumping approach in hopes of increasing his mark as Barrett prepares to defend her title.

“Being at home is great,” Ross said. “It’s about having your fans come out and support. I’m looking to improve my performance with every jump.”

The men’s events begin Thursday and lasts through Saturday. Women’s events will run from Saturday through Monday.

“This weekend really kicks off the daily wildcat file photo season,” Harvey said. “We’re looking to hit the ground running and com- High jumper Brigetta Barrett is hoping to find as much success in the outdoor track season as she did in the indoor, beginning with this weekend’s Jim Click Shootout. pete right away.”

have become accustomed to at Hi Corbett has to be effective because there is no excuse for the Wildcats to drop contests at home, like they did last week against New Mexico State.

Manthei said the best way to execute small ball is getting back to the basics. “(It’s) playing good defense, putting

the player, her throwing motion is already routine for her. Iveson agrees with the fans of thesoftballchannel. com on the topic of momentum and timing.

“I think it just becomes a habit,” Iveson said. “All of those things are true, I’ve heard all the same things, but they’ve done it for so long. It’s

the ball in play and throwing strikes,” Manthei said. “(Last) Tuesday we didn’t play defense, Wednesday we didn’t throw strikes, it’s the simple things we need to do well.”

Arizona junior outfielder Robert Refsynder said winning at home should be automatic.

“It’s essential,” he said. “It’s home, you’ve got the advantage, you should take care of business. Definitely we should win at home, but we’ve moved on since New Mexico State,

and I was really proud with the way the guys played against Oregon State (last weekend).”

Success at home would be nice, but it can’t be the only thing to strive for, Lopez said.

“I think you have to stress to get wins period in the Pac-12,” Lopez said. “I don’t think it’s a conference where you can just win two out of three at home, and lose two out of three on the ground, and be done.

You’ve gotta play well.”

not a thing they key on anymore.

They’ve just been doing it for years.”

Addressing the bruises her pitchers get, Iveson said because they’ve slapped for so long, it’s just become part of their motion, so the bruises come with it.

“They don’t feel a thing, until maybe afterward when they notice the bruise, but it’s like, ‘Look at what you’re doing,’” Iveson said. “I don’t think they feel it at all.”

The accuracy of the many

different theories of slapping in softball notwithstanding, the results from pitchers Kenzie Fowler and Shelby Babcock slapping their gloves have been overwhelmingly positive for the Wildcats.

For the season, Fowler and Babcock are a combined 18-8, each with an ERA of under 3.00 and a combined 182 strikeouts in 599 plate appearances, or 30.4 percent of the time they step into another throw, and each pitch ends with a loud “slap!”
