Guns on campus bill is dead

By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

Legislation that would have allowed concealed weapons on college and university campuses in Arizona has died, according to the bill’s sponsor.

Sen. Ron Gould, a Republican from Lake Havasu City, told the Associated Press on Tuesday that Senate Bill 1474 lost support among lawmakers in the state. Gould, who

proposed the legislation, said that many lawmakers got “weak-kneed” because it’s an election year, and if the legislation had made it to Gov. Jan Brewer’s desk, she would have signed it.

The measure would have allowed gun owners with concealed carry permits to bring their firearms on campus. UA President Eugene Sander said he was “very relieved” that the legislation died, and that it would have hurt the UA community

if enacted.

“We are gratified that the voices of our students, faculty and ordinary citizens have been heard,” Sander said. “Having guns on campus is a notion we simply cannot support as we consider the safety of our students, employees and our community in general. Along with our stakeholders we will remain watchful and will continue to oppose any measure that puts people on our campus at risk.”

Many student groups lobbied against the measure and told legislators that the majority of students didn’t even want it proposed, let alone passed.

“Not only did I think it (the legislation) wasn’t right, students overall were against it,” said James Allen, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. “The argument will never change that the majority of students will never want this bill to pass.”

Sander proposes increases in tuition for out-of-state students Graduate, College of Medicine students may also face hikes

In order to show this to the Legislature, ASUA conducted a threeday survey in February and asked several thousand students if they supported the measure, Allen said.

ASUA members surveyed random students on campus and passed out surveys in certain classrooms.

More than 80 percent of respondents said that they did not support it, and did not want concealed

ALEX KULPINSKI / DAILY WILDCAT

Wolfgang Fink, an associate professor of biomedical engineering and electrical and computer engineering, works on the Tucson Explorer II, a machine that will be used to explore methane lakes on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons.

An associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has developed a machine to investigate the methane lakes on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.

Tucson Explorer II, or TEX II, is a remote-controlled “lake lander” device that uses two hulls in a catamaran design to float across the surface of liquids. Mobility is controlled by

two motors which spin two air propellers. Because of the machine’s twin-motor design, it has the ability to rotate on the liquid’s surface.

TEX II has a 150-pound capacity in addition to the weight of the motors that it carries on its 6-foot by 5-foot platform.

The antibiotics used to treat gonorrhea, a common sexually transmitted disease, have become less effective as the bacteria evolved to be resistant, according to a study.

Jim Collins, a veterinary sciences and microbiology professor, explained that gonorrhea’s bacterium strain, called neisseria, has genetically mutated and several types of antibiotics that were once effective in curing this type of infection no longer work. The common antibiotics include penicillin, tetracycline, fluoroquinolones and cephalosporin, he said.

“Bacteria has a way to genetically change in which change makes it resistant to the antibiotics,” Collins said. “It can grow in the presence of that antibiotic, which gives an advantage for the bacterium.”

According to Richard Herrier, a pharmacy professor, bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics when one’s body is exposed to many different kinds, or if the same antibiotic dose is continuously taken over time. Resistance can also occur

Bylaw changes made in Senate meeting Daily Wildcat

In a meeting rushed by an imminent public tuition hearing, the ASUA Senate tabled half of its agenda during its meeting on Wednesday.

The Senate was scheduled to approve or deny changes to both its bylaws and the general bylaws of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, but ended up shelving action on the former after a drawn-out discussion. Among other changes, the Senate most objected to the reclassification of the current position of vice chair of the Senate as the president of the Senate. Sen. Erik Lundstrom, who compiled the bylaw changes, said renaming the position was necessary in order to hold members of the Senate accountable.

“I do think the Senate needs to check themselves, which is why I think that higher leadership within the Senate makes sense,” Lundstrom said.

Several senators objected to the change because they said it sent the wrong message regarding working relationships within the senate.

“All the senators need to be working as a team, not against each other or above each other,” said senator-elect Claire Theobald.

ASUA President James Allen said he

through horizontal gene transfer, which is when bacterium acquires genetic material from other bacteria, causing it to come together and transfer genetic materials.

This can become a problem for treatment — if one strain of bacterium is resistant to a certain antibiotic, the resistance can transfer to other species, Herrier added.

“It used to be you just took penicillin and the bacteria dropped, but over time they (bacteria) have developed over multiple different mechanisms and now we have chunks of them that are resistant to drugs,” he said.

Undetected and untreated STDs can increase a person’s risk for HIV and cause other serious health problems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

weapons to be carried on the UA campus.

Additionally, the Arizona Board of Regents released a fiscal impact study earlier this month that examined how much it would cost the three state universities to safely allow guns on campus if the legislation passed. It would have cost Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the UA $13.3 million in one-time costs and $3.1 million annually in operations to equip 732 public buildings across the three campuses with gun storage lockers.

Although the proposed legislation did not require the universities to build storage lockers in the buildings, the three universities would have done so. These costs would have been passed onto students, said Dan Fitzgibbon, an economics senior and board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association, a lobbying group that works to ensure higher education in the state is affordable and accessible.

“The cost increases in Arizona universities over the past several years have been so dramatic that it would have been silly to say ‘Here’s another tens of millions that students will have to pay for these things they don’t want in the first place,’” Fitzgibbon said.

Aside from extra costs, Fitzgibbon said that the bill would have alienated certain out-of-state students and faculty, as these individuals would have never come to the UA had they known that legislators in the state would propose such measures.

“I’ve talked to many professors

supported the idea of a more clearly defined leadership structure within the Senate.

“The one thing that is unarguable is that if the Senate wants to elect someone within themselves to hold them accountable, that would be a good thing,” he said.

Another point of contention focused on the creation of two new positions within the Senate, a chief senate administrator and a senate aide coordinator. The former would act as the body’s parliamentarian and be responsible for the Senate’s administrative needs, while the latter would manage the application process for senate aides and oversee weekly meetings with those involved in the Senate Aide Program.

Lundstrom said the senate administrator position was necessary because, according to ASUA Bylaws, the Senate has to have a parliamentarian at all of its meetings, which it currently does not. He also said that a senate aide coordinator would help with the professional development goals of the program.

Allen disagreed.

“I don’t think the proposed changes are horrible … but I do think that ASUA has had a problem with administrative bloat,” Allen said. “We don’t need to be creating new positions.”

In 2010, 309,341 cases of gonorrhea were reported in the United States, which is a 2.8 percent increase from 2009, according to the center.

At the UA, Campus Health Service provides confidential tests for both chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Although some men and women infected with gonorrhea experience symptoms like painful or burning sensations upon urination, these symptoms don’t affect everyone, said Lee Ann Hamilton, assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventative Services at Campus Health.

Currently, there are no new antibiotics to help cure the disease, Herrier said. But not every strain of neisseria gonorrhea is resistant to antibiotic.

The CDCP is monitoring trends in antibiotics and is closely reviewing treatment recommendations to test new drug combinations, according to their website.

and director of the UA Visual and Autonomous Exploration Systems Research Laboratory, spearheaded the TEX II project. The device itself is just one component to a larger project called “tier-scalable reconnaissance,” that involves several types of vehicles exploring Titan, including land rovers — which the department has already developed — as well as blimps and lake landers. These vehicles, Fink said, will ideally be able to “think” for themselves.

“What we ultimately set out to do is to develop truly autonomous systems,” he said. “We want to instill in machines a natural sense of curiosity and the ability to make sense of the data … so that the machine comes up with its own plan of action and executes it.”

Scientists are interested in Titan because it is the closest in atmospheric composition to Earth, Fink said. With an atmosphere four

and students who said they wouldn’t have felt safe,” he said.

“Many faculty members don’t want to teach in classrooms where students would be allowed to carry firearms.”

Some students disagreed, and said that the measure would have made them feel safer walking around campus.

John Deakin, a civil engineering senior and gun owner, said that college and universities who ban firearms are targets for shooters on “murderous rampages” because they cannot truly defend against them.

“Police don’t show up until after the fact,” he said. “If people could be trained and take a concealed carry class, they could protect campus a little bit better.”

Because people are allowed to carry firearms around Tucson and the state, Deakin said, there is no reason for someone to feel unsafe around guns on campus if they feel safe off campus.

“If you look at it, you’re living in Tucson. There’s a lot of gun owners here,” he said. “A lot of them carry regularly.”

Although student leaders and the regents say they are glad the bill died, both Allen and Fitzgibbon noted that similar legislation could come up in the future. Sarah Harper, a spokeswoman for the regents, said they are still waiting to ensure that the legislation truly died.

“While Senator Gould’s indication that he has pulled the plug on efforts to allow guns on campus is welcome news to all of us within the Arizona university system who have opposed such legislation, we are mindful that no legislation is officially dead until the legislative session ends,” Harper said.

“Today, I advocate on behalf of our friends and family outside of the boundaries of the University of Arizona who can no longer afford their degrees,” Allen said. “We illustrate how the pain of college costs applies not only to undergraduates but also to graduates; not just to Arizonans, but also to those joining our state seeking a quality Arizona education.”

The award was granted because of Fink’s idea to integrate land, aquatic, and aerial machines into space exploration — a concept that hadn’t been presented in past research. The work has also been published in Science magazine.

Alex Jacobs, an electrical and computer engineering graduate student, focused on the computer vision aspect of TEX II, furthering the machine’s autonomy by developing a system which will allow it to recognize interesting features in its environment that are worth exploring. Jacobs said he was glad to get positive recognition this early in his career.

“It’s exciting,” he added. “It’s wonderfully exciting to think that your work could actually be deployed in real life.”

Despite the project’s momentum, TEX II would be launched no earlier than 2016, Fink said, especially with NASA budget cuts that were proposed by President Barack Obama in February. If the project is deployed in 2016, it will arrive on Titan sometime in 2023.

all students to show a commitment to students attending the three instate universities. He went on to mention the need for a “real zero,” which would prevent all students from paying increased tuition fees.

Roeland Hancock, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, put his support behind Allen’s recommendation.

Following comments from their representatives, students were allowed to speak and provide their suggestions regarding the tuition proposal. Many of them commented on the need for state-based financial aid, and thanked Allen for his zero percent across the board recommendation.

“The lack of state-based financial aid affects our Arizona economy as a whole,” said Anthony Carli, a political science sophomore. “A state-based financial aid system in Arizona is a necessity to safeguard our state’s future. We need to relieve financial burdens on our students.”

Carli has currently taken out more than $25,000 in student loans.

His parents are facing more than $70,000 worth of student loans for their children.

The Arizona Board of Regents will meet next week to set the tuition rates for the 2012-2013 academic year, but they will not accept public testimony due to the special hearing conducted Wednesday.

times as thick as our own and temperatures much colder, methane forms as a liquid and creates lakes.

TEX II will use sonar technology to analyze the lakes, and the information will be processed by aircraft, which will control the machines on the ground and in the lakes.

“As a scientist, you would like to be on a planet yourself, but, for many reasons that’s not always feasible,” Fink added. “Therefore, you need to have the next best thing: a robotic explorer which can do, to some extent, what you can do as a human.”

Funding for the TEX II project so far has come from within the department, but Fink said that he and his colleagues will begin to solicit federal funding now that an actual device has been developed. This funding would be used to pay for the components that will make the device autonomous, he added.

Fink’s tier-scalable reconnaissance project has already seen nationwide recognition, earning him a NASA board award in 2009 before starting his work at the UA.

marketing in ASUA. The re-branded ASUA Marketing Department more clearly delineates marketing positions. Along with the executive director, ASUA marketing will include a branding director, multimedia director, web development director, communications director and assistants serving under each of those directors.

The bylaw changes also included a provision that requires one of the seven members of the ASUA Appropriations Board, which doles out club funding each year, to be a graduate student. Lundstrom asked if that might be detrimental to graduate students who want to get involved with ASUA. Krystina Nguyen, the incoming executive vice president, said she didn’t think it would and that she would not exclude graduate students from the board should they choose to apply.

“If I can get a graduate student, that would be wonderful,” she said.

“But I don’t think it should be a requirement.”

The senate decided to delay discussion of proposed changes to how stipends are distributed. The proposal, as it now stands, would allot an additional $3,450 to fund stipend positions next year.

Supreme Court wraps up arguments over Obama’s national health care law Mcclatchy tribune

WASHINGTON — The future of health care hangs in the balance, as do some political fates, with the conclusion Wednesday of Supreme Court arguments that showed the justices divided but clearly willing to rule on the major questions at issue.

Longer than any since the 1960s, the arguments that ended Wednesday afternoon both clarified and clouded the potential outcome, with justices on the last day assessing whether most of the 2010 health care law could survive even if its most controversial provision — the individual mandate — were struck down.

Over a total of nearly six and a half hours this week, the justices suggested that: — They will almost certainly rule on challenges to the Obama administration’s signature health care law, rather than punt on technical grounds.

— They could very well strike down the health care law’s central requirement that individuals must buy insurance, and the law’s dictate that states expand Medicaid coverage, or even the law in its entirety.

— They will be sharply divided in

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi speaks at a press conference with other attorneys general, following the second day of arguments in the health care case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.

whatever they do. And because opposing sides won’t be reconciled, it’s more likely that the court itself could become campaign fodder in the fall elections.

Taken together, the arguments

foreshadow, by the end of June, a set of binding decisions on one of the country’s most ambitious social programs ever, rendered right in the middle of an election year.

“We cannot avoid decisions simply

because the case has political implications,” Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. said Monday morning, speaking of another case but with an unmistakable nod toward the health care cases.

The constitutional validity of the entire 2,700-page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was not in question this week. Instead, Florida and 25 other states as well as business groups were challenging several specific provisions concerning mandatory individual insurance coverage and Medicaid expansion at the state level.

On Wednesday, though, the court considered whether the entire law must fail if the central insurance coverage requirement were struck down.

Several conservatives think so.

“My approach would say, if you take the heart out of the statute, the statute is gone,” Justice Antonin Scalia declared.

From the liberal side, Justice Elena Kagan suggested that often “half a loaf is better than no loaf,” while some of her colleagues agreed that the court should not move too drastically.

“It’s a question between a wrecking operation and a salvage job,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said. “And

it seems to me the more conservative approach would be salvage rather than throwing out everything.”

The 90-minute argument Wednesday morning will really matter only if the court decides, separately, that the health care law’s so-called individual mandate violates the Constitution. At that point, justices also would have to decide whether the damage to the law can be contained or whether the whole ship necessarily must sink.

“If the individual mandate is unconstitutional, then the rest of the act cannot stand,” insisted attorney Paul Clement, representing Florida and other states challenging the law.

The Obama administration agrees that a few additional provisions of the law are inextricably tied to the individual mandate and must live or die with it. One is the ban on denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions.

Without an individual insurance-buying mandate, this requirement would drive up rates.

But with many provisions of the law already in effect, the administration and advocates maintain that total repeal would throw many Americans for a dangerous loop.

Arab League leaders expected to back UN peace plan for Syria Mcclatchy tribune

BAGHDAD — With its own initiatives having failed, the Arab League is expected Thursday to back a U.N.-led peace plan during a meeting in Iraq, where the crisis in Syria is expected to be the dominant topic.

Officials said Wednesday that whatever the Arab League leaders did, they wouldn’t call for Syrian President Bashar Assad’s ouster or issue any other ultimatums for resolving the year-old conflict that’s killed thousands of Syrians, the vast majority of them civilians.

Officials denied that they were softening their stance on Syria, but it’s apparent that the Arab League is backing off its tough talk from January, when the group called on Assad to hand over authority to a deputy, thereby launching a phased transition. At the time, the league had hoped for a unity government to form within two months, to be followed by elections supervised by Arab and international monitors.

Some Arab officials have acknowledged privately that the earlier stance was adopted too hastily, when it appeared that the regime was poised for collapse. Assad’s forces have since routed rebels in flash-point cities, while internal divisions threaten to unravel an opposition coalition that

many had hoped would become an interim authority.

Assad has agreed to a six-point proposal put forth by U.N.-Arab League special envoy Kofi Annan, according to the Syrian state news agency SANA, which noted in an online report that Russia and China supported Assad’s backing of “a responsible stance seeking acceptable solutions for all.”

Anti-government Syrian activists have rejected any plan that keeps Assad in power, and it seems he won’t go without a fight. A separate SANA report Wednesday quoted a Syrian Foreign Ministry official as saying the government “would not deal with any initiative by the Arab League, at any level, in its absence.”

The Arab League has suspended Syria over its bloody crackdown on protesters; it’s the only one of the 22 member countries that isn’t represented at the Baghdad conference.

Annan’s plan calls for an immediate cease-fire by government and opposition forces, a withdrawal of government troops and heavy weapons from residential areas, humanitarian aid, the release of detainees and greater access for journalists after the regime’s sustained attempts at a news blackout on the crisis.

igh school seniors are deciding which college to attend in the fall, and high school juniors are starting their college seeking and touring process.

These students should be aware that recruiters are trying every tactic to get out-of-state students.

Colleges around the country have had their budgets cut and some officials believe the best way to get money back into the school’s account is to appeal to more nonresidents for their out-of-state tuition and fees, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Whatever the UA needs to do to appeal to those with more money, by all means proceed. Arizona schools need to recover from budget cuts and it’s up to the future students’ dedication to seek loans and scholarships, understand their families’ budgets and decide how much going out of state for school is worth.

Many out-of-state students made a decision that, regardless of the tuition, they want to attend a specific school.

“For me, it’s not that big of a deal, because I have some student loans, so I’m not the one paying — but my parents would be upset,” said Laura Kruk, an undeclared freshman from Eugene, Ore., about the proposed increase in out of state tuition.

Current UA students wouldn’t be affected by this new recruiting approach. The Arizona Board of Regents made a tuition proposal last month for the UA, which stated that there would be no increase for continuing undergraduate students, but there will be a 3 percent increase in tuition for all new students next semester.

“I am happy that tuition won’t increase for me, but I also feel like it’s unfair to those new students having to pay more,” said Cierra Sanderson, a psychology freshman from Fresno, Calif.

On the other hand, Arizona State University will not increase tuition for in-state undergraduate students but for all non-resident students either continuing or enrolling in fall 2012, there will be a $589 to $654 tuition increase.

Almost one third of UA students are from out of state. California is the biggest supplier of students to the UA, but the number of California freshmen has decreased from 1,075 in 2008 to 987 in 2010, according a U.S. Department of Education survey.

Tuition is probably one of many reasons for the decrease, but the benefits outweigh the risk. Students will still come to the UA from other states regardless of the cost.

“Money wasn’t too big of a factor because my parents wanted me to get an education regardless of cost and Arizona was a nice change of scenery and a breath of fresh air,” Sanderson said.

However, ASU’s numbers showed an opposite trend from the UA. ASU has a goal to appeal to non-residents.

The number of ASU students who enrolled from California increased from 800 in 2008 to 1,134 in 2010, according to the U.S Department of Education survey.

Clearly the UA needs to take a page out of ASU’s book and start reaping the benefits of out-of-state funds.

TUSD deprives students critical lessons by banning ‘The Tempest’ “T

o be or not to be, that is the question.”

Or rather, that is the debate centered around the work of William Shakespeare and its involvement in classrooms around the country.

It is often said Shakespeare is perhaps the greatest writer of all time, but the greatness of his works have not proven to be their salvation, and the closed-minded education system in the U.S. is denying students one of the most valuable pieces of literature they could ever study.

As part of the Tucson Unified School District’s book ban, William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” has been added to the list of books restricted from the classroom.

Shakespeare’s work has often

It’s not like Shakespeare said, “Hey, you guys need to have underage sex, do drugs, run away from your parents, and kill yourselves.” The play was written to have an emotional appeal and also teaches a lesson that if you run away from home at the age of 13 this is what could happen.

Yes, Shakespeare has mature content, but so does nearly every book published outside of the children’s section.

Having a good education should mean reading advanced, mature books. The ideas and themes created in his works have become the foundations for nearly every piece of literature written to date.

What is a literature class without Shakespeare? Nothing but a class filled with restricted minds and empty books.

Police Beat

By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Don’t kick me when I’m down

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were on patrol at Speedway Boulevard and Cherry Avenue when they saw a male student fall on the sidewalk at 3:35 a.m. on Tuesday. The officers got out of their patrol car and approached the man, who was laying on his ride side. The officer noticed that the man had a large abrasion on the right side of his head and that he would need immediate medical attention.

Officers asked him if he was OK, and he said, “I drank too much.” They noticed that his clothes and breath smelled of alcohol. The officers then asked where he was earlier that night, and he replied, “I don’t remember, what I do remember is that my own friends beat the shit out of me and I had a few beers and a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey.”

They searched his body and noticed more scrapes on the man’s arms and face. When officers asked if he would like to press charges against his friends who beat him up, he said, “I am definitely going to have to think about it. I do know I am in deep shit and I will probably now get kicked out of my parent’s house for this.”

Tucson Medical Services arrived at the scene and began evaluating him. Paramedics then took him to the University of Arizona Medical Center. Officers contacted the man’s parents and told them about what happened. They told the parents that they should tell their son to press charges. Officers then cited the man for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Would-be thief gets egg on his face A Cactus Grill employee called the UAPD and told them that they detained a male student for trying to steal an omelet at 12:58 p.m. on Monday. Officers arrived at the scene and spoke with the restaurant’s manager. The manager said that the student filled out two omelet slips and handed the slip that would be more expensive to the omelet chef. Once the omelet was made, he went to the cashier and handed her the other slip, which cost him $4.22. The more expensive slip would have cost him $7.74.

Officers asked the man if the manager’s story was correct, and he said, “I did exactly what she said I did.” He said that stealing an omelet was the biggest mistake of his life and that the difference was “only three bucks.” Officers then asked him why he tried to steal such an inexpensive item, and he replied, “I don’t know, I wasn’t thinking, this is the biggest mistake of my life.” The student was cited for theft and released. He was also issued a Dean of Students Code of Conduct violation form.

Fit

Former Wildcat Ricky Elmore searching for his place in the NFL

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

E

ver wonder what it’s like to live the life of an NFL journeyman?

Just ask former Arizona defensive end Ricky Elmore.

“It’s a crazy lifestyle,” he said in phone interview on Wednesday. “There’s so much uncertainty. One day I’m going on a plane to Seattle, the next day I’m getting called from Buffalo and then I sit there for three weeks and don’t hear from anyone.”

Like a struggling musician state-hopping in search of his big break, Elmore’s been all over the map in hot pursuit of the right fit in the NFL. It seemed like he landed in a good place when the 2010 Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers selected him in the sixth round of the 2011 draft. But with stud linebackers Clay Matthews and A.J. Hawk ahead of him on the depth chart and only a couple weeks to learn the playbook and transition to linebacker due to the lockout, Elmore’s stint in Green Bay was short-lived.

“I kind of slipped through the cracks,” Elmore said. “I was having a little tougher time with the transition.”

After being released by the Packers following training camp, Elmore was out of work for almost four months. He worked out for a handful of teams and continued to train in hopes that an opportunity would arise.

The days, weeks and months passed by, but

he still heard nothing.

Elmore contemplated bagging the NFL dream and pursuing other career opportunities, as being away from football for the first time in 15 years was becoming too much to handle.

But thanks to his family “pushing (him) through some of the hard times,” Elmore kept grinding, and on Jan. 5, it paid off in the form of a practice squad offer from the San Francisco 49ers.

Ricky Elmore He stayed in San Franformer UA cisco until the New York Giants eliminated the 49ers defensive end in the NFC Championship Game and planned on signing a futures deal with the San Diego Chargers.

The day he was ready to ink a three-year rookie deal with the Chargers, the 49ers called and said, “We want Ricky so we’ll give him a futures deal and we want him to come up today,” Elmore recalled.

For the first time in his young NFL career, Elmore had options. While San Francisco was an enticing option for Elmore, he would be stuck behind five-time Pro Bowler Patrick Willis and

elmore, 8

Q&A • Elmore on if he’s been back to Tucson: “I was living there for about six weeks, seven weeks, then I went back to California.

I ran seven on sevens with the team and worked out with them about two times a week.”

• Elmore on meeting Rich Rodriguez: “He seemed like a cool guy. Every time I saw him he came straight up to me and said ‘What up.’ That’s the one thing I was worried about, was whether or not I’d be welcome back. He made it clear he wanted me around. The whole staff was pretty pumped to see all the former players.”

• Elmore on Arizona players working toward the NFL draft: “Those guys are great athletes.

They’re going to be fine. I think this year we’re going to have maybe three or four guys drafted.”

3-headed monster Wildcats dodge upset loss, key to UA’s success Softball: Arizona 8, SDSU 6

walk-off on Pendley’s blast

By Cameron Moon Daily Wildcat

The inconsistent Arizona softball team almost let another one get away from it on Wednesday, coming back from a 6-1 deficit to sweep San Diego State 8-6, thanks to a walk-off home run by freshman Shelby Pendley in the eighth inning.

The start of the game was much like Tuesday’s, with lots of defensive energy and a scoreless first inning.

All-American Kenzie Fowler pitched for the Wildcats but didn’t play like her usual self, giving up a home run to the Aztecs’ Haley Miles in the third inning. Fowler pitched seven innings until she was relieved by Shelby Babcock in the eight, but gave up eight hits and six runs, all earned, compared to just six strikeouts, three below her season average.

“She’s lost a little confidence, we’ll have to just get that back for her,” said assistant coach Larry Ray, who’s filling in for Mike Candrea. “Giving up the home run

softball, 8

Over the last eight years under Mike Stoops, the Arizona football team has been armed with a few prominent signal callers. In Willie Tuitama and Nick Foles, arguably the two best quarterbacks in program history, the Wildcats became a pass-heavy offense without much of a focus on the running game.

But under first-year coach Rich Rodriguez, things are going to look drastically different for the Wildcats’ offense.

“I kinda knew coming in here (with Rodriguez) that we were going to run the ball,” quarterback Matt Scott said. “I felt like that was kinda our weakness a few years prior, we weren’t a good run team. We passed the ball a lot.”

To call it a weakness would be an understatement. In 2011, Arizona ran for 1,134 yards, good for 114th in

the nation, and 17 touchdowns as a team. Keola Antolin led the UA with 568 yards and five touchdowns.

In 2007, Rodriguez’s final year coaching at West Virginia, former Mountaineer running back Steve Slaton ran for 1,051 yards and 17 touchdowns all on his own. Not only that, but WVU’s quarterback, Pat White, ran for 1,335 yards and 14 touchdowns. Noel Devine ran for 627 yards and six touchdowns — as a backup.

“I was watching them (West Virginia and Michigan),” sophomore running back Ka’Deem Carey said.

“I just love the way they just put the running back in great position to make a play and the lineman opening up holes for the back.”

Those numbers are a bit bloated since Rodriguez ran the ball, on average, nearly 70 percent of the time while at West Virginia, and in 2011, the Wildcats only ran the ball 36 percent of the time. Going forward, while numbers that are on par with WVU’s are a little out of reach initially, expect the Wildcats to cater more toward that style of

McKnight working back from ACL injury

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

Jonathan McKnight used to be an ironman.

From the moment he laced up his first pair of cleats until the end of his freshman year at Arizona, the 5-foot-11 defensive back never missed a football game.

“Nope, not one,” McKnight said, laughing. “I never missed a game.”

After appearing in all 13 games as a freshman and showing flashes of potential, McKnight was poised for a huge sophomore campaign.

In only his second season he was thought of by many as the team’s best cover-corner and the

Wildcats were expected to lean heavily on the little brother of former USC running back and current New York Jet Joe McKnight.

That all changed in August of last year.

During a fall practice McKnight tweaked his knee in a non-contact play and tore his ACL. Just like that, his perfect attendance disintegrated, along with his highly anticipated sophomore season.

“I felt like I let down myself when I got hurt, but I couldn’t control it,” McKnight said. “I don’t really think about it anymore because it’s behind me. I’ve just got to move on from it and come back and be like I used to be.”

McKnight won’t participate in contact drills or game play during the spring season, as he’s still only about “70 or 80” percent healthy and hasn’t been cleared for full contact.

But McKnight is still doing individual drills and is right on track to be ready to go for fall camp, according to Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez.

“Jonathan’s another guy that I know just loves football and it’s killing him not to be out there to take every rep. I think he’s right on schedule coming off the surgery,” Rodriguez said. “He’s been painfree so that’s very encouraging.”

McKnight, who wears a bulky brace on his left knee, admitted that he’s not moving the same as he

Buckner added. “Hopefully he’s the player that he was before because we’re going to need him out there. He can shut down a whole side of the field. He works hard. He’s going to ball out.

Hopefully he gets back out there and does what he does.”

UA safety Adam Hall, who missed all but one game with an ACL injury last season, said McKnight looks like he did when he was at the same stage in the recovery process. But he agreed that McKnight is on track and set to be a major factor next season.

“It’s just great to get him back on the field,” Hall said. “He’s going to be a great asset.”

NCAA tournament

Ohio State guard perfects his ‘Craft’ With enlisted brother along for the ride, player ups his game Mcclatchy tribune

By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat

A battle of heavyweights is scheduled to take place this weekend, as the top-ranked offense in the Pac-12 Conference, No. 8 Arizona, goes up against the conference’s best pitching staff, No. 2 Stanford.

“It’s big-on-big,” junior Rob Refsnyder said. “That’s what you come to Arizona for.”

Stanford’s 2.58 ERA is the best in the conference, and the Cardinal held opponents to a .203 batting average. But the Arizona offense has quietly asserted itself as a powerhouse, resulting in an early season battle for supremacy between the conference’s two best units.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing where we stack up against the best in the country,” Refsnyder said.

Despite Arizona’s lack of power and its reliance on small ball, the Wildcats have put up good numbers so far this season, leading the Pac-12 in batting average (.322), runs scored (178), and stolen bases (44).

Arizona’s success has stemmed from an entire group effort on the offensive end, led mostly by a group of junior leaders — Refsnyder, Alex Mejia, Joey Rickard and Seth MejiasBrean.

Refsnyder has been the most consistent source of offense, leading the team with a .398 batting average and a .487 onbase percentage — ranking fourth and fifth in the Pac-12, respectively — but he’s just one of several of the players hitting the ball well this season.

Six Wildcats are hitting above .315, and Arizona has players in the top-10 of most major offensive categories in the Pac-12, with the one major exception being home runs.

However, Stanford is bringing

was before he got hurt. Although he has plenty of time to get back to full strength, the Wildcats need the McKnight of old in the worst way.

They ranked dead last in the Pac-12 in passing defense a season ago and lost two of their top defensive backs in Trevin Wade and Robert Golden, who used up their eligibility. If McKnight is healthy, however, those numbers are bound to improve next season.

Senior receiver Dan Buckner called McKnight “one of the best (corners) I’ve ever seen.” When healthy, McKnight is a “monster,” Buckner said.

“He’s been working hard every day to get back and recover,”

Gordon Bates / Daily Wildcat

Junior outfielder Rob Refsnyder will help lead Arizona’s top-ranked offense against the strong pitching of No. 2 Stanford in this weekend’s three-game series.

something to the fight the Wildcat juniors have yet to figure out: the toprated pitching prospect in the country.

Stanford Friday starter Mark Appel is projected to be a top-two pick in the 2012 MLB draft and head coach Andy Lopez said the Stanford pitcher is worthy of that distinction.

While Appel hasn’t been lights-out so far this season — he is 3-1 with a 2.92 ERA — he has shut down the Wildcats during his impressive career, especially the last time they faced each other.

Appel pitched eight scoreless innings and struck out nine Wildcats in an eventual 1-0 Stanford victory.

This time around, Lopez said the offense needs to simply avoid strikeouts, make contact and put the ball into play if it wants to be successful against Appel and the rest of the talented pitching rotation.

“Hopefully we can do that and make it interesting against that staff,” Lopez said.

Fortunately for the Wildcats, this small-ball attack against Stanford won’t be anything different than they’ve been doing all season.

Since Arizona’s move from Frank Sancet Stadium to the much larger

Hi Corbett Field, the team has had to adjust to playing for base hits and steals rather than home runs.

“Last year, I hit six home runs and all the guys are joking that I don’t have any (this season),” Refsnyder said. “Hi Corbett is such a big park and I could have been stubborn and tried to go for the long ball and extra-base hits, but obviously my average would drop.”

This change in mentality is constantly beaten into players by the coaching staff, even during warm-up batting practice at a mid-week practice.

While Lopez is pitching to the players, he’ll immediately remind the players that their fly ball hit is an easy out at Hi Corbett Field.

“We can run and we manufacture runs that way, not (with) the long ball,” Refsnyder said.

The Wildcats’ small-ball approach has been even more effective because of the ability to run the bases well.

Rickard is tied for the lead in the Pac-12 with nine stolen bases and nine doubles and tied for second with three triples.

“Put the ball in play,” Refsnyder said, “and good things will happen.”

NEW ORLEANS — On the day guard Aaron Craft enrolled at Ohio State two years ago, his brother, Brandon, enlisted in the U.S. Army.

And on the day Craft and the Buckeyes tipped off against Syracuse in the Elite Eight last weekend, U.S. Army Infantryman Brandon Craft took off across the Atlantic for his second deployment in Afghanistan.

“He wishes he could watch and be here,” Aaron Craft said after Ohio State’s victory, “but he’s doing something more important, and it just keeps everything in perspective ... we really care, and we fight for basketball games. But he’s fighting for something bigger, and it’s for all of us.”

Aaron Craft hopes his brother will have access to a radio or television for the Buckeyes’ game on Saturday night against Kansas in the Final Four. In the last game Brandon saw on television, Aaron scored 11 points with five assists, four rebounds and a school NCAA Tournament-record six steals in 39 minutes in the Buckeyes’ 81-66 Sweet 16 win over Cincinnati.

“He did know that we won,” Craft said. “He’s getting inside information somehow. I hope I don’t get him in any trouble ... I don’t know where he is. I don’t know if he’d be able to tell me. The last time he went, he contacted us to let us know he was OK. We’re waiting for that.”

In the meantime, Craft will try not to be distracted by his brother’s circumstances and devote his attention to playing the Jayhawks, who beat Ohio State, 78-67, in Lawrence on Dec. 10.

“The first time he went (to Afghanistan), he got hurt and had to come back,” Craft said. “I wasn’t prepared for it. When he came back, we did a lot more talking about it. He’s the first one to tell you, he wants me to focus on basketball. My teammates are right there with me ... I owe it to them to put everything aside and play my best basketball

and play my role on this team.”

Craft’s role is the Buckeyes’ stopper at the top of the defense and playmaker at the head of the offense.

A 6-foot-2 guard, Craft scores just 8.8 points per game, but he also averages 4.7 assists and 2.5 steals.

He has stepped it up in the NCAA Tournament with averages of 10.3 points, 5.8 assists, and 3.3 steals in four games, including his first career double-double in a win over Gonzaga with 17 points, 10 assists.

And unlike Kansas’ Jeff Withey, who was the Big 12 defensive player of the year because of his shot-blocking prowess, Craft was selected Big Ten defensive player of the year because of his pilfering ability. Craft’s 95 steals already have shattered Ohio State’s single-season record of 87 set by Mike Conley during 2006-07, when the Buckeyes last went to the Final Four.

“No player is safe when Aaron is on you,” Ohio State All-American forward Jared Sullinger said. “He puts the blue in blue collar.”

Craft will be matched up against Kansas’ point guard Tyshawn Taylor on Saturday night, and they battled to a draw when Kansas beat Ohio State 78-67 last January in Lawrence.

Craft scored 11 points, had six assists, three turnovers and two steals against the Jayhawks. Taylor, who was playing on a knee that would require arthroscopic surgery after the game, scored nine points and had 13 assists but was forced into seven turnovers, mostly by Craft.

“He was their catalyst in the first game, scoring the ball and distributing it,” Craft said of Taylor. “There are some games he turns the ball over quite a few times, but he always comes back and makes that next big play they need to win the game. That shows his resilience and how great of a player he is.”

Syracuse guard Brandon Triche found out just how uncomfortable Craft can make an opponent.

“He’s just one of those guys who’s always up on you,” Triche said. “He’s good with his hands. He gets into the passing lane. He pretty much just makes it tough, sliding left and right. He’s one of those guys who never gives up.”

offense.

It’s not as if they don’t have the personnel or the talent.

“The guys that have played like Ka’Deem and Daniel Jenkins and Taimi (Tutogi), you can see some of their experience and some of their ability come through,” Rodriguez said. “I think coach (co-offensive coordinator Calvin) Magee has been pretty pleased with that — but as I said everyone is a rookie in this system. We’ll see how they progress.”

Carey, a Tucson native, is likely to be the one at the top of the depth chart after a solid freshman season where he ran for 425 yards and six touchdowns on 91 carries. He got fans especially excited about his future as a Wildcat after his performance in the season finale against Arizona State, where his 139 total yards and a touchdown were a key factor in the emotional victory.

But, as Rodriguez said, he likes having more than one running back who can contribute to his run-heavy offense.

“If we got five we can win with, we’ll play all five,” Rodriguez said. “We use two running backs, sometimes three, at the same time so I hope we can find a lot of running backs.

That’s been a position I’m pretty pleased with, and we thought that coming in, but we still got a long way to go.”

In addition to Carey, the Wildcats also have the speedy junior tandem of Jenkins and

before SDSU’s Justeen Maeva doubled down the third base line to increase the lead to 2-0.

“Those are the types of things that have gotten us all year,” Ray said. “We walk a runner into scoring position, and ‘boom,’ they get a base hit and score a run. We’ve got to quit being so generous.”

Fowler was unable to get seemingly anyone off the plate in the seventh, as she loaded the bases with two walks before giving up a grand slam, which cleared out a small portion of the stands as the Aztec lead increased to 6-1.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, while most people were gathering their belongings and heading to the door, Pendley was focused on getting a hit to keep her team’s chances alive. She rose to the occasion, pounding a ball over the left field wall to decrease the lead to 6-2.

Fellow freshman Alex Lavine stepped up to the plate following a Kristen Arriola hit, a Chelsea Goodacre walk and Lini Koria single, and popped the ball over center-right field, tying it 6-6 and ending the game to extra innings.

“When I was going up to bat, I was thinking, ‘This isn’t going to end with me, I’m going to keep this game going,’” Lavine said. “It was really exciting to know that I tied it up. I saw my team at the end of the baseline and I was just so excited, I can’t even think of words to describe it.”

This was one of the first games of the season the Wildcats were truly able to put together hitting, fielding, and pitching in the face of adversity.

“Sunday (after being swept by ASU) felt horrible, we were at rock bottom for our season,” Lavine said. “Coming into this series, we were thinking that there’s no place to go but up. We had a little speed bump and we’re good now.”

Junior running back Daniel Jenkins figures to play a prominent role in the Wildcats’ run-heavy atack this season.

Kylan Butler. They both didn’t get many reps in last season’s offense — Jenkins had 176 yards on 31 carries, Butler had 29 yards on six carries — but Scott is excited about his backfield mates.

“Those guys are crazy,” Scott said. “All three of those guys are running great, they’re gonna have a great year I’m telling you that now.

“We love running out there together. During the scrimmage we was like, ‘Man, we all got all our different styles.’

With help from former Wildcats, Elmore will have a chance to finally stick in San Diego. He knows what he’s been through to get this opportunity, and he’s pledged to do everything possible to make the most of it.

“I’m going to ride this out as long as I can. This is an opportunity of a lifetime,” Elmore said. “I’m trying to rearrange my priorities in life and be all football. They like the way I play football so we’ll see what they use me as. I’m going to try and make an impact on special teams right away.”
