Secret society vandalizes Eller College Organization composed of business students chalks building as part of induction ceremony

By K.C. Libman DAILY WILDCAT

A secret organization has claimed responsibility for chalking the stairs of McClelland Hall last month, but students and officials in the Eller College of Management have expressed little concern.

The Sage and Silver Society, a secret organization that says it is tasked with securing funding from alumni

and private donors for Eller College, chalked the stairs of McClelland Hall on Feb. 28. Society members, who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity, said it was an act of celebration tied to their upcoming induction. To the Eller College, it was serious enough to warrant a police report.

For the University of Arizona Police Department, it falls somewhere in the middle.

“This behavior is not condoned,”

said Joe Bermudez, a crime prevention officer with UAPD. “Although there was no criminal activity, acts committed by a non-sanctioned group are typically viewed as being more serious.”

Eller Facilities Director Merrilee Holmes recalled an incident last year in which the interior of McClelland was papered with flyers advertising the group, likening the act to “ASUA elections on steroids.”

Society members say it’s the UA’s first secret society, though students and faculty members say they have only started hearing about it within the past two years. An email to the Daily Wildcat from a self-identified member of The Sage and Silver Society said the organization’s “main goal is to raise more money for the Eller College and increase alumni donations,” yet in this time frame, the Eller College has not received any

donations related to the organization.

“I am responsible for the development of alumni relations and donations,” said David Doubleday, Eller’s senior director of development. “I am unaware of the society’s presence on campus.”

Holmes said he was also unaware of any donations awarded to the college from the organization.

Tucson Police Department officers arrested four UA football players after a fight at the home of five UA students early Friday morning.

According to police reports, sophomore cornerback Jourdon Grandon, sophomore offensive tackle Fabbians Ebbele and sophomore offensive lineman Eric Bender were arrested on charges of criminal trespassing in the first degree and assault, and sophomore safety Jared Tevis was arrested on trespassing charges.

TPD officers responded to an assault call as well as reports of a burglary in progress. Upon arrival, officers saw a white Lincoln Navigator speeding westbound on Speedway Boulevard after driving away from the home. A man and several women were chasing after the car, screaming and shouting.

Officers entered the home and began questioning the residents. The first student who officers spoke to said they were “having a party with some of their friends,” and Tevis was the only football player who had been invited. Tevis entered the home with four other members of the team.

According to police records, residents asked Tevis and the other players to leave because they were not invited.

One of the men responded by shoving one of the women backwards. The man was later identified as former safety Joshua Robbins. After being shoved, the resident slapped Robbins, who then proceeded to punch her in the face — starting a brawl between the football players and members of the party.

The players left after the brawl, but before leaving said, “We will be back with our homies.” A short time later, the players returned “in a group of between 10 and 30,” and a man later identified as sophomore offensive tackle Fabbians Ebbele forcibly entered the home and “began punching everybody he could reach,” according to the report, including the resident who was initially assaulted and her brother.

People at the party told officers the UA players entered the home and began assaulting male members of the party

Gas prices now at a premium

By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT

This spring break, UA students may find themselves paying more to travel.

In the past month, Tucson’s average gas price has increased by 37 cents from $3.27 per gallon of unleaded gasoline to $3.64.

“It’s not just a Tucson thing, because the gas process depends on oil prices,” said Derek Lemoine, assistant professor of economics in the Eller College of Management.

“There is one price of oil for the world effectively, so if it hops up, then it pretty much changes for everybody at one time.”

The current price for a gallon of gas in Arizona is $3.81, while the national average is $3.71. Forecasts for gasoline prices within the next upcoming months suggest that the national average could be

anywhere from $3.75 to $4.15 per gallon by mid-May, according to Patrick DeHaan, an analyst with Gasbuddy.com, in a statement released by the website.

While some analysts say high gas prices may stay for the next few months, others say it might be too soon to tell, because gasoline prices are so dependent on multiple economic, global and political factors.

“If you are that sure on the way gas prices are going to move you should put money on it,” Lemoine said. “There are things we can imagine that will drive it one way or another, but no one really has a handle on it.”

The increase in gas prices comes just in time for the UA’s spring break, when many students have plans to travel. Tenaya Snider, a creative writing senior, said in addition to traveling back home

to Kingman, Ariz., she plans to go to Los Angeles and anticipates spending a little more than $150 on gas for her trip, not including gas needed to drive around each city.

“Right now it’s looking like it is going to cost $60 just to make it home on a tank of gas,” Snider said. “And those little costs add up to where I can’t spend money on other things during the break.”

While Snider said she plans on driving to multiple places this spring break, she did consider the alternative of flying to her destinations as a way to possibly cut costs and time. A round trip plane ticket from Tucson to San Diego during the week of spring break is anywhere between $200 and $280, according to discount travel websites like Orbitz and StudentUniverse.

Professors weigh in on censorship Proposed legislation could affect students planning to enter public education field

By Rachel Gottfried Daily Wildcat

“Fire me and fire me now,” said Terry Wimmer, a journalism professor of practice, when he heard about Senate Bill 1467.

The proposed legislation would require public schools to punish instructors who engage in speech or conduct that violates the Federal Communications Commission’s rules concerning obscenity, indecency and profanity for broadcast television.

The first time a teacher uses obscenities, he or she would be placed on unpaid suspension for at least one week. The second occurrence would result in an

unpaid suspension for at least two weeks, and the third occurrence would result in the employee’s termination. The bill states that a school may choose to fire the instructor after the first or second occurrence.

Republican Sen. Lori Klein, who represents Anthem, sponsored the bill. Senate Majority Leader Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert, has also signed on in support of the bill, in addition to Senators Al Melvin, Don Shooter and Steve Smith.

Klein said she did not intend for the bill to apply to community college or universities, and although the proposed legislation initially did, it has been modified to no longer apply to university classrooms.

As a future teacher of young children, Chelsea Granillo, an early childhood education junior, said she would support this three-strike system.

“Since young children are still developing

in the college to have experience in the teaching field while motivating children to starting thinking about college, she said.

“Our focus has been to work with Title I schools that have a high population of kids that speak a variety of different languages because we believe that this is the population that we can serve the best,” Jurich said.

The kindergarten students visited different classrooms, met with professors, spoke with college students and visited McKale Center’s Hall of Champions. This opportunity will help students in the college understand how much of an influence they have over these children and can learn how to be a role modes for them, said Crystal Soltero, an assistant professor of practice, teaching and learning.

“Kids look up to their student teachers, knowing that they are college students and they want to be just like them,” Soltero said. “This field trip is designed to help the kids understand what college is and to get them to start thinking about universities and where they want to be.”

Lauren Raab, an elementary education junior, read “Dinosaur Woods” out loud to the nine kindergartners she regularly instructs to teach them about different types of animals. The kindergartners will visit the local zoo next week. The visit to campus allowed the kindergartners to get a taste of the college experience at a young age, she said.

same destination can cost $130 to $140 in gas when applying the current national average, and $150 to $160 in California where the average price for a gallon of gas is about $4.33.

“The increase in prices have made me more conscious about what I spend when getting ready for the break,” Snider said. “I don’t travel as much or go out with friends, and when I do we typically

their receptive and expressive language skills, they are very susceptible to picking up inappropriate vocabulary,” Granillo said. “It is developmentally inappropriate for young children to be around this kind of negative language, and I feel like a teacher shouldn’t be teaching if they feel the need to speak in this manner.”

UA professors and students expressed concern that the bill, if modified to include universities again, could censor university instructors.

“Broadcast obscenity standards has absolutely nothing to do with education,” Wimmer said. “I tell students on the first day that I am a little salty. Things happen in the heat and passion of a classroom. I don’t mean to be uncomfortable.”

Dan Fitzgibbon, board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association, a student lobbying group for higher education, said the bill

when it comes to helping people cut gas costs. Smartphone “gas apps” can be downloaded and used to check gas prices in a user’s surrounding area and help them find a gas station with the lowest price.

“I think that using these apps can certainly save a person some money,” Laskoski said. “Sometimes the difference in an area can be up to 50 cents, and people are going to want to find places with the cheapest gas.”

In addition, Lemoine said, that compared to other countries around the world, prices in the U.S. have

try to carpool.”

Practices students can implement when trying to cut the use of gas in their vehicles include checking their vehicle’s tire pressure, replacing air filters and avoiding driving too fast or breaking too rapidly, said Gregg Laskoski, a senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com.

“Obviously when gas prices go up, it hurts a lot of people,” Laskoski said. “We as consumers can’t control gas prices, but what we can do is maximize fuel efficiency of our own vehicles.”

could have affected the learning experience in a university classroom.

“In the college or university environment, open and intellectual discussion I think is something that is very important, and any type of censorship of that is I think not only detrimental to the freedom of the instructor but also open forum,” Fitzgibbon said.

Fitzgibbon said that because a majority of UA students are older than 18, the bill would have censored conversation between adults. It could also take away basic constitutional rights such as free speech, he said.

Charles Scruggs, an English professor, said he worries that this bill could be the “first start of muzzling a professor.”

“If you cannot say it in the classroom, whose going to say it?” Scruggs asked. “If TV dictates what we know and say, then we’re in deep shit.”

been known to be historically low when it comes to gas due to fewer taxes. Lemoine says that while drivers are not looking forward to paying more at the pump, high gas prices can sometimes mean economic upturn for a country.

“What happened between three years and now is that we hit a major recession. So the extent to why we had low gas prices is because the economy was not doing very well and the developed world did not want much oil,” Lemoine said. “So if you think about it, high gas is kind of good in a weird way.”

Arrest

Allison Stein, a senior studying accounting and operations management, said she feels that the society does little to enhance Eller College’s image.

“The ‘celebration’ was completely misguided and not thought through,” said Stein, a member of the Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity. “I haven’t seen them do anything good.

I’m proud of Eller, and I don’t want to see it get trashed in a vain attempt to promote a club.”

The society is not affiliated with the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, nor does it have any official connection to the Eller College.

While Stein feels that the group goes against Eller tradition, Holmes isn’t taking the acts very seriously.

“If they’re a secret society,” Holmes said, “you’d think they’re doing a poor job of it so far.”

while several women attempted to stop another fight from happening. One woman was pushed up against the wall by Robbins.

Robbins continued to push other female guests and residents.

Members of the party identified Grandon after he “punched a female guest in her face with a closed fist and began punching other females in the face.” Tevis was also present during the altercation but none of the victims observed him assaulting anyone.

When officers saw the Navigator speeding away from the house, they pulled the car over to the side of the road for a “high risk” stop.

Everyone inside of the car, which included Tevis, Robbins, Grandon, and Ebbele, was removed from the car, along with junior defensive tackle Justin Washington, who was

not charged in the incident.

All occupants were questioned by police. Bender, Ebbele and Washington told officers that they were “sitting at home when they were called by one of their friends, saying that he was jumped by a bunch of people.”

All occupants of the car denied that they had been in any physical altercation, but said they were at the party and saw people they knew “when a fight broke out,” at which point all six players left in the SUV. After all players were identified by attendees of the party, Robbins was transported to the Midtown Substation for a DUI investigation.

The other passengers in the car were released. Once that investigation concluded, Robbins also was cited and released.

Two of the residents of the home told police they were seeking to press charges, but as of this time, no further action has taken place.

Video conferencing room may support employers who prefer online interviews Career Services offers area for Skype to UA students and faculty

By Brittny Mejia Daily Wildcat

Through the use of technology, students no longer need to go offcampus for an interview.

A video call with a potential employer will allow students to make their first impression on camera through the Skype room in Career Services, which allows students to speak with potential employers in a location with a secure Internet connection. Students simply have to drop by and ask for room availability.

“A video interview is a good way for employers to filter out candidates,” said Jeff Patten, a Career Services counselor. “Specifically if they’ve got a lot of candidates to narrow down their pool to know, ‘Yes, these are actually people we’re going to bring on board to do an interview with us in person.’”

looking to promote this service because not a lot of students take advantage of or know about it, said Bill Ruggirello, assistant director of Career Services. Over the past year, there have only been about eight video interviews conducted in the room, he said.

“I like it (the room) because it helps us bridge that gap with employers in different industries, because maybe they can’t come all the way from say, New York City,” Ruggirello said. “This way, the U of A student still has an opportunity to make that connection.”

Even though Skype interviews don’t necessarily require the student to leave home or meet a potential employer face-to-face, it is still important for the student to take the interview seriously, Ruggirello said. Students should be well prepared and dress the role like they would for any in-person interview, he said.

“It should not be discounted because of the technology. You prepare the same way. Even if you’re doing a phone interview, you should sound like a serious

Ways to prepare for this type of interview is through mock interviews with Career Services, or InterviewStream on the Career Services website, Patten said.

to prepare for an interview through practice questions geared toward specific majors and careers, he added.

Some students, however, are unsure of the benefits of a video interview.

“I think it would be weird to do a video interview,” said Erica Squires, a sophomore studying

English, who said she has never done one before. “It kind of takes away the whole point of going and making your first impression. You could just be wearing your pajamas.”

Other students said video interviewing would not allow them to really stand out against other candidates or truly connect with the employer.

“A video interview would be strange because you’re talking to a computer screen and not an actual person,” said James Devore, an ecology sophomore. Devore said he would take a video interview less seriously because it feels less personal.

However, because the use of video interviews may increase, Ruggirello and Patten said it is important to prepare and feel comfortable with the idea.

“One of the big advantages of doing a video interview is that you can be in an environment you’re comfortable with and that alone can make you a little more successful in the process,” Patten said.

INNOVATION DAY 2012

Kevin Brost / Daily Wildcat

Students and faculty members presented their research at Innovation Day in the Student Union Memorial Center’s Grand Ballroom on Tuesday.

Annual Innovation Day displays research from entire UA community

Professor, student awarded for bright ideas

By Samantha Munsey Daily Wildcat

In a small meeting room in the Student Union Memorial Center, a UA student and professor wait with reporters and fellow researchers as they anticipate being named innovators of the year during the UA’s annual Innovation Day. “It’s a really exciting day because of the people we are honoring today,” said Leslie Tolbert, senior vice president for research. “Innovation is what we do every day at the University of Arizona, but this is the one day out of the year where we pay attention to the fact that this is going on across the campus.”

Innovation Day, which took place on Tuesday, included a series of events and showcases sponsored by Arizona-based research organizations that recognized science developments made in the UA community.

Event organizers named Ronald Weinstein, a pathology professor in the College of Medicine and Alexandra Armstrong, a doctoral candidate in veterinary sciences and microbiology, as recipients of the Technology Innovation Award.

Winners of the award will not only receive a plaque to commemorate their achievements, but also a prize of $10,000 that can be used for research-related projects.

“It’s a special day and I’m sure we both appreciate being honored,” Weinstein said as he looked at Armstrong, who was sitting across from him at the conference table. “We don’t do our work with the dream of begin honored or even making money from it, we are driven by intellectual curiosity.”

Weinstein has been engaged with a variety of medical projects at the UA since becoming the chief of pathology for the University of Arizona Medical Center in 1990. Since then, Weinstein has made contributions to the cancer research field, created a telemedicine service for Arizona that has treated more than a million patients and co-founded the first robotic telepathology equipment company. In addition, Weinstein has been involved in numerous medical patents and his work has been mentioned in more than 1,000 scientific papers.

“The way I look at is that I am a doctor who happens to be a pathologist,” Weinstein said. “I

got in to pathology because I love research, but I think we are pharmacists and doctors who help take care of a broader population.”

Armstrong, the winner of the student award, which includes a $1,000 scholarship, has been at the UA for the last five years and is in her final year as a doctoral candidate. Originally, she came to the UA without knowing what she wanted to research. After working on projects dealing with salmonella, Armstrong began researching the bacteria campylobacter jejuni, which can cause foodborne diseases in humans and is typically found in chickens.

Through her research, Armstrong was able to develop a vaccine for chickens to prevent campylobacteriosis, the top foodborne disease worldwide.

After Armstrong finishes her doctoral degree, she plans to continue her research in the food industry in hopes of improving it.

“I am passionate about food safety,” Armstrong said. “I think that food safety is one of the most important features of a developed country and is an important step forward for the rest of the world.”

Beauty not worth dying for Ashley T. Powell Daily Wildcat

T

hey say beauty is pain, but is beauty worth dying for?

The American media has set a high standard of beauty for women, but the Food and Drug Administration has found numerous beauty products and tools to be packed with hazardous ingredients or cause cancer. Women, especially college students, unfortunately decide to continue using these products regardless of the reports’ findings.

Although they are within healthy limits, beauty product brands such as Maybelline, Covergirl and L’Oreal were found to have relatively high levels of lead in their lipsticks, according to a December 2011 FDA survey of 400 various lipsticks. Although the FDA has set limits for the amount of lead in color additives in makeup, it has not limited for the amount of lead overall in cosmetics.

Lead poisoning is a common health hazard and if these lead levels increase in lipsticks, it could become a real threat to women’s health. What’s even more shocking is the FDA’s statement that “reports about lead in lipstick are not new.”

Similarly, women still use tanning beds. There are more than 30 tanning salons in Tucson and representatives from the salons say that especially before spring break, when students are most inspired to look tan and tanning salons market discounts and package deals, they are almost booked solid.

The FDA has warned people for years that when someone under the age of 35 uses a tanning bed, his or her risk for melanoma increases by 75 percent. Along with melanoma, tanning bed users are also at risk for squamous cell carcinoma, another type of skin cancer.

The World Health Organization moved tanning beds into the highest cancer risk category recently, but even all this hasn’t stopped people from using them.

On campus, some women are already using anti-aging creams and products.

Morgan Holdcroft, an employee at the Clinique counter in the UofA Bookstore, said students sometimes come to the Clinique counter and request anti-aging creams, which help prevent wrinkles. But anti-aging creams should be used carefully at this age.

“If people start using our high powered creams too young, they could get immune to it as you get older,” Holdcroft said.

Women need to stop worrying about how they look, and start worrying about what they are putting on and into their bodies.

Another FDA report showed that hazardous cancer-causing ingredients such as coal tar could be found in hair dye as well as other beauty products. In today’s society, tanning, dying your hair and continually applying makeup is common. But these everyday routines are exposing women to hazardous products. It’s ridiculous that tanning salons are booked solid, lipstick racks are sold out and hair dye is in such high demand.

Women in our society have a skewed idea of what beauty truly is. Before women were dependent on hair dye, innumerable lipstick shades and tanning beds, men still seemed to find women attractive and women were able to look into the mirror and feel beautiful for how they were naturally.

Women need to realize that protecting their health in more important than looking good.

Turning a few heads is not worth the risk of cancer or lead poisoning.

Daily Trojan USC

The Daily Utah Chronicle University of Utah

State Press ASU

“Variety in social options needed”

“Bad teaching is a culprit in ‘hard’ majors’ grades”

“Social media and its effect on privacy”

Is “party etiquette” an oxymoron, or a new initiative launched by a college administration? It seems to be both.

The Office of Campus Activities recently sent out an email containing a set of partying guidelines.

Though some of these guidelines are perfectly logical, some are completely unrealistic — such as “Do not allow drinking games.”

USC students should certainly be respectful of their neighbors, but the university can help the problem by being more sensible in its expectations of students.

We can address off-campus partying by looking at why students party. USC does offer many great events, such as intramural sports or Visions & Voices, but these events usually don’t run at the times parties are occurring — evenings on weekends. If an organization does run an event at this time, that event is usually a party — thus circling back to the original issue.

What’s more, late-night options for socializing on campus are virtually non-existent. Ground Zero Performance Café could become a hub of late-night activity, but it closes at midnight. Coffee shops that stay open past midnight are a staple at some other colleges — why shouldn’t USC have one?

Email guidelines aren’t effective. Well-promoted on-campus socializing options would help reduce the number of wild parties and, thus, the number of irritated neighbors.

Grade inflation has been frequently cited as a major problem with education. Getting an A might be easier now than it was 30 years ago.

A 2010 study titled “Grading in American Colleges and Universities” concluded that, on average, science departments grade .4 points below the humanities on a GPA scale and .2 points below the social sciences.

The study shows that the sciences generally give out lower grades. But this statistic can be misleading.

It seems to imply that the sciences are inherently harder than the humanities.

First of all, because science departments have the oh-so-prestigious title of the “hard major,” they get a lot of street cred. Potential employers value a more difficult degree because they know graduates either had to be smarter or work harder to get it. This, then, gives science departments an incentive to keep their pass rate low.

Consider the fact that most professors in the hard sciences are primarily researchers.

They have an advanced degree in their field of research. This doesn’t necessarily make them good at teaching it.

In short, the hard sciences might have the claim on the hardest classes to pass, but this doesn’t give them the claim over the hardest subject. We often assume that fewer people pass in the sciences because they are harder to understand, but it might also be because they aren’t taught as well.

When you look back on the past decade, there’s no doubt that social media has made a huge positive impact on people’s lives. But what about its negative impact?

Because of social media people tend to be more open about their personal lives than they have been in the past. You now have an outlet where you can say what’s on your mind and post pictures of everything you do. With all of this freedom, people fail to realize that their private lives are now public.

In 2010, a Massachusetts high school teacher lost her job because of what she posted about her students on her Facebook page. June TalvitieSiple referred to her students as “germ bags” and called parents snobby and arrogant. The teacher was unaware that her privacy settings allowed people other than her Facebook friends to view her comments.

“I take full responsibility for my stupidity and I hope it serves as an example to kids that they need to be very, very vigilant about their privacy,” TalvitieSiple told ABC News.

Regulating behavior on social media networks is also important for those who are searching for jobs.

According to MSNBC, a study in 2010 showed 70 percent of company recruiters have rejected applicants based on information they found online.

While social media is a good tool to escape from the real world, you should always think before you post.

You never know who might be watching.

Get healthy, not just skinny Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat

A

mericans are suffering from a dangerous combination of eating disorders and body image problems.

Last week was National Eating Disorder Awareness week, seven days devoted to recognizing eating disorders. A Daily Wildcat article focused on Tumblr’s initiative to target self-harm blogs, like those promoting anorexic habits for weight loss.

Tumblr’s censoring these delusional blogs is admirable, yet it’s questionable how effective its crackdown will be. These self-harm sites are just symptoms of the problem. Tumblr’s goal is a step in the right direction on a long and arduous path, but it’s going to take more than just censoring personal sites to revolutionize what people see as healthy.

Right now, approximately 36 percent of American adults are

obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But this figure doesn’t account for the millions of obese children and adolescents, nor does it include people who are only overweight without being obese.

Many Americans also suffer from anorexia nervosa, a disorder characterized by obsessive weight loss, using extreme measures like starvation and crash dieting to achieve their dangerous ideals. The American weight loss industry is worth an estimated $60.9 billion, according to a study conducted by Marketdata Enterprises Inc. Just attach “skinny” to a product and it will sell, even to items not associated with weight loss, like alcohol. Bravo network star Bethenny Frankel reportedly sold her Skinnygirl cocktail line to Beam Global for an estimated $120 million dollars in 2010. From

cocktails to exercise merchandise, Frankel has expanded her net worth by slapping “Skinnygirl” on multiple different products.

In a country largely fixated on weight and looks, the media highlights who’s fat, who’s skinny and who’s aesthetically pleasing.

Rarely does it ever focus on who’s truly healthy.

“Over time we’ve allowed the media, both the print media and film media, to dictate the expectation of normal,” said Laura Orlich, a counselor at Counseling and Psych Services for Campus Health. “Are we going to allow the diet industry to determine what our healthy levels of weight should be?

We’ve allowed these external forces to not only suggest, but also dictate what’s a normal body shape, style and size.”

There’s a widespread mentality that the more weight a person loses, the more attractive he or she becomes. But health often becomes an afterthought in this process.

Orlich works with students who frequently skip class to work out.

She asks students to ask themselves, “Is it interfering with life functions?

If I’m at the gym frequently, for too many hours, and I’m ignoring

my work, my family, my social life or other aspirations that I might have just to reach some sort of body ideal, is that really in my best interest?”

If someone is overweight, then perhaps losing weight is necessary.

But instead of focusing on the assumed benefits in appearance, they should focus on the health benefits of losing weight and derive motivation from there.

No one is going to stop the media from focusing on appearance. But consumers can stop letting that dictate their lives, Orlich said.

“If you look at a magazine and see a beautiful actress or model and think, ‘Wow, that’s what I should aspire to look like,’ we maybe need to (start trying to) look like what the body image structure is in a physiology textbook,” she said.

People need to channel all of that useless negative energy toward being healthy and feeling good instead of looking good.

POLICE BEAT

By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT

Sorry, wrong bed

A resident assistant from the Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall reported that a naked man walked into a resident’s dorm room around 2:33 a.m. on Monday. When University of Arizona Police Department officers arrived, they spoke with the resident, who said she was sleeping when a naked man suddenly entered her room and tried to climb into bed with her.

The student said she screamed when she noticed him and told him he had probably walked into the wrong room. He asked her, “Are you sure this is the wrong room?” She replied, “Yes!” He turned around and began walking out of the room. Another female student then walked in, grabbed the man and brought him into another room.

The woman told officers that she saw “his buttocks and flaccid penis with lots of pubic hair,” and that she wanted to press criminal charges.

Officers spoke with the naked man, who told them, “I was very intoxicated and I was spending the night with another girl.

I woke up to go to the restroom and when I was done, I accidentally walked into the room. It was an honest mistake.”

Officers noticed that the naked man and the other woman laughed whenever the woman who wanted to press charges began to speak. Officers told the man to get completely dressed and step outside so he could be arrested. He was cited for indecent exposure and taken to Pima County Jail.

These are my confessions

UAPD officers were on patrol at 1:48 a.m. on Monday when they noticed a car parked in the middle of Highland Avenue with its emergency lights on. The officers stopped and approached the car when three male students suddenly walked out of Highland Market to the car and told officers that the car belonged to them.

Officers told the men that they had to go and park the car, and that parking in the middle of the street is illegal. One of the men became angry and told officers, “Forget you, go ahead and MIP me, I’m 20.” Officers arrested the student and made him sit on the curb. They noticed there was a strong odor of alcohol coming from the student’s breath, and that his speech was slurred.

One of the other men said, “I am 19 but I have only had a little bit of vodka tonight.” Officers asked him where he got the alcohol from. He replied, “I ain’t going to dime anyone out.” His speech was also slurred, and he was arrested and asked to sit on the curb next to his friend.

The third student then confessed to officers that he had also been drinking, but he was 24 years old. He told them he did not wish to say anything else, because he was of drinking age and therefore did nothing wrong. Officers cited the two underage students for minor in possession of alcohol in body and referred them to the Dean of Students Office for Code of Conduct violations. The car was towed because the vehicle was blocking the street and everyone who could have driven the car was intoxicated.

Talk- ‘Household Air Pollution: How Indoor Smoke Kills Millions Every Year’ Household air pollution from cooking fires contributes to millions of deaths each year in mostly lower- and middleincome countries. The World Health Organization estimates that household air pollution contributes to almost 2 million deaths annually. Cooking is a duty that falls almost exclusively to women, who are also responsible for the fuel gathering, which places them at high risk for gender-based violence when away from the safety of their villages. Large-scale interventions with improved stoves and fuel are under way to save lives from the worst environmental cause of death in the world. Roy P. Drachman Hall Room: A114.

UA alumni rap-pop duo Vibe opened up for Mac Miller in a show hosted by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona on the UA Mall on Friday night.

The mutual respect between the two musicians Daily Wildcat is tangible, something akin to watching siblings interact, and their interplay on and offstage is both They’re equal parts rap and pop, and they’re the exceptionally refreshing and far beyond their years.

Rossman is just as aware of the band’s potential. bringing a few hundred sauce packets into the room.

It’s a comically excessive scene that would never lead “Ever since we’ve started this, we’ve been Vibe, all you to guess the two UA alumni were about to debut day. That’s helped to create our vision for how we want to be perceived and what we want to portray.” a batch of new songs to a new crowd.

It’s a trait any a major live debut, while still retaining a collegiate musician would envy. finesse. It’s evident that this isn’t Vibe’s typical gig.

“It can’t be like, ‘Let’s sit down and write, it’s song time,’” Young said.

Finding that sound Rossman is quick to agree. “For some people it Vibe’s academia-inspired rap and pop sensibilities takes days to write a song, to come out with what they don’t just mesh together, they’re completely want to say,” said the guitarist. “We’re so ADD that it complementary. Rossman’s guitar work has a strong just comes out and we record it. We’re spontaneous.”

a musical hotspot to have an impact on a scene.

Having spent time in Los Angeles pursuing a music career, he’s seen the darker aspects of the industry that would leave most aspiring artists jaded. He’s quick to note that Tucson has everything Vibe needs to flourish. Young feeds off of the city.

“I really like the energy in Tucson,” he said. “It’s really different than any place I’ve been. The desert has a magical energy.”

Vibe is comfortable in, and embraces, its desert element. Tucson is far from a rap hotbed, but the city’s eclectic musicality and artistic content is enlightening enough for Vibe to want to stick around.

“I feel more comfortable and organic in my own space. Bon Iver made his entire album in Wisconsin, and you don’t hear about Wisconsin blowing up,” Young said.

Rossman, in a canvas jacket and oversized plasticframed aviators, credits the digital age for Vibe’s ability to create a name for itself while being free from the rigors of a 9-to-5 lifestyle.

“Location’s less of a factor with the Internet’s influence,” Rossman said. “I definitely don’t want to be in a cubicle.”

Rossman and Young’s sensibilities radiate through their music. They’re well aware of the moves that they want to make and how they want to execute them.

Rossman’s production ability paired with Young’s fiery lyrical talent makes them an ideal package, set to take over conventional pop with brilliant video marketing and radio-ready songs.

Fans should be more than happy to follow their exponential climb as their intellectual musicality thrusts them into the well-deserved spotlight, but Rossman is content with soaking up Tucson and letting it infuse his music here at home.

“I draw inspiration from hearing new artists with their own unique sounds,” Rossman said. “Seeing some of these younger guys out here who are doing things in their own light shows me that there’s hope for independent artists.”

Revolution setting good move for ‘Creed’ Jason Krell Daily Wildcat

C

ome Oct. 30, Paul Revere will be shouting, “The Assassin is coming! The Assassin is coming!” now that video game publisher Ubisoft has confirmed the setting of “Assassin’s Creed III” — the American Revolution.

It’s sad to see the days of Ezio Auditore and his predecessor Altaïr ibn La-Ahad go, but replacing the European and Middle Eastern locales of Italy and Constantinople with 18thcentury America is an exciting notion.

Because America wasn’t even officially a nation at that time, the setting has much more historical impact than the places in previous games. And there’s a sort of charm to the open frontiers.

Many don’t seem pleased with the announcement, taking to the Internet with cries of “‘MERICA!’” in mocking tones. They appear to feel like this is just an American-dominated market asserting itself over the rest of the gaming community. It makes the United States look bad. Americans are so arrogant. But oh, what’s that?

The studio developing the game is based in Montreal, Canada? Well, that settles that argument.

People are going to think “Assassin’s Creed III” is just America shoving its metaphorical fist down the throats of foreigners, but that’s because they fail to look at the series as a whole. Everyone should have been prepared for a game set in America because that’s where the characters are in the present.

Desmond Miles, the game’s protagonist, lives in New York City in 2012. If the game ever wanted to catch up to the present — and God help Ubisoft if it doesn’t — it would need to come to the land of the free.

Moving past the closed minds of loud-mouthed gamers, let’s look at why this idea is awesome:

The Revolution was a big deal for everyone Just look at the role America plays in today’s society. If the Revolution had never occurred, history would be radically different.

Being present for such a crucial event, and probably playing a large role in it, hasn’t happened in the “Assassin’s Creed” series to date.

The next closest contender would be the Third Crusade from the first game, but because the American Revolution was less than 230 years ago compared to the Third Crusade’s almost 900-year distance from today, the game series just got far more relevant.

Native Connor’s background is also worth Americans should also play a huge role, considering the main character looking at from a combat standpoint.

Native Americans were notorious for is half-English, half-Mohawk — and their ambush tactics all throughout that’s a tribe, not a hairstyle. This early American history, and that brings us to my next point. is right up the alley of “Assassin” ideology. The only trailer currently Ratohnhaké:ton out also shows Connor using a What a name.

Romney expands winning streak MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

CURTIS COMPTON / MCT

Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich joins wife Callista in addressing supporters after winning at the Georgia polls at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel on Tuesday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Mitt Romney chalked up Super Tuesday victories in Virginia, Vermont and Massachusetts, extending his winning streak as he sought to fasten his grip on the GOP nomination.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won Georgia, the state he represented for years in Congress and where he retreated for a last stand to resurrect his sagging campaign.

“Thank you Georgia!” Gingrich tweeted soon after the television networks projected his victory. “It is gratifying to win my home state so decisively to launch our March Momentum.”

All four states were performing as

expected, rewarding candidates in their home regions and, in the case of Virginia, where former Massachusetts Gov. Romney faced no serious opposition. In all, voters in 10 states were casting ballots in Super Tuesday contests that promised to either push Romney beyond the reach of rivals, or stoke Rick Santorum’s challenge and reopen the question why Republican voters won’t embrace the party’s national front-runner.

The most crucial test was in Ohio, a November battleground, where Romney and the former Pennsylvania senator devoted the bulk of their time and resources. Both candidates focused on the economy in a Rust Belt state that hurt long before the rest of the country sunk

Santorum touted his roots across the border in a Pennsylvania steel town, saying he would seek to strengthen the economy by restoring America’s manufacturing might. Romney unveiled a new slogan — “more jobs, less debt, smaller government” — and jabbed at Santorum’s digression into subjects such as contraception and the separation of church and state.

“During this campaign there has been discussion about all sorts of issues,” Romney said in Canton, Ohio. “I keep bringing it back to more jobs, less debt and smaller government. That’s what my campaign is about.”

Israel’s Peres looks to Televangelist asks use Facebook for peace for more prayers

other circles for his comments about the destructive tornadoes that roared through the Midwest and the South last week, killing dozens. Robertson was asked, “Why did God send the tornadoes?”

“God didn’t send the tornadoes,” he said. “If enough people were praying, He would intervene. You could pray.

Jesus stilled the storm. You could still storms.”

Residents in Georgia said they were offended by the remarks.

“Personally, I thank God that I’m alive and that the damage wasn’t greater,” David Wilson told Fox 5 news station. “I think that my neighbors are safe and not harmed in any way, although they’ve lost quite a bit of property. But this weather, I can’t say this is God’s fault.”

Over the years, Robertson has suggested that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were God’s punishment for the U.S. toleration of homosexuality.

SAN FRANCISCO — Israeli President Shimon Peres praised Facebook as a vehicle for social change during a visit to the social networking company’s Menlo Park, Calif., campus.

Peres, 88, came to Facebook on Tuesday to launch his official personal page on the site that he hopes will open a dialogue with Arabs throughout the world and to meet with Facebook founder and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg.

“The matter of peace is no longer the business of governments but the business of people,” Peres told Facebook’s chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, in an interview streamed live on Facebook. “Today the people are governing the governments. And when they begin to talk to each other, they are surprised. We should be friends.”

Asked by a Facebook engineer what Facebook could do to promote peace in the Middle East, Peres said: “What you are doing is convincing people they don’t have reason to hate.”

Peres’ visit followed a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama this week. The two disagree about an Israeli military strike against Iran. Even as Obama called for more time to allow sanctions and diplomacy to work, Peres, who twice served as Israel’s prime minister, condemned the Iranian government.

“The combination of viciousness and nuclear weapons is a real catastrophe, a real danger,” he said.

Peres is on a four-day tour of Silicon Valley to tout Israel’s technology industry and strengthen ties between the two high-tech hotspots during stops at IBM and Google and

a meeting with venture capitalists.

Silicon Valley in recent years has become a magnet for politicians and celebrities.

Asked how Israel evolved into a flourishing technology center, Peres said: “This is a case where the people enriched the land more than the land enriched the people,” he said.

Obama was the first sitting head of state to visit Facebook’s headquarters last year for an interview with Zuckerberg. Facebook held a town hall-style meeting at its former campus in Palo Alto, Calif. Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, also paid a visit there.

Peres was the first sitting Israeli president to visit Silicon Valley. He joked that he no longer has the same kind of sway he had as prime minister.

“When I was prime minister I gave orders,” Peres said. “Now I must look for volunteers.”

LOS ANGELES — Televangelist Pat Robertson made headlines Tuesday for two vastly different reasons. Reason No. 1: He wants to decriminalize marijuana. Reason No. 2: He says the tornadoes that have devastated parts of the Midwest could have been prevented if enough people had prayed.

Robertson made both comments during recent airings of his “700 Club.”

The televangelist said “liberals” are to blame for punitive marijuana laws.

“I just think it’s shocking how many of these young people wind up in prison and they get turned into hard-core criminals because they had a possession of a very small amount of controlled substance,” he said, according to a transcript of the show obtained by Law Enforcement Against Prohibition and posted online. “It’s time we stop locking up people for possession of marijuana.”

Freshmen key for ‘Cats

By Nicole Dimtsios Daily Wildcat The Arizona men’s basketball team will need to give its best effort if it wants to advance in the Pac-12 Conference Tournament in Los Angeles this weekend. A large part of that effort will need to come from the Wildcats’ trio of talented freshmen.

Freshman guards Nick Johnson and Josiah Turner have been regular starters for the Wildcats this year, but after a bad game against ASU on Sunday, head coach Sean Miller said he’s looking for them to bounce back.

“There’s a lot of reasons we didn’t win that game, but they did not play well, that’s for sure,” Miller said. “They played well in other games, maybe not as a group, but one or two of them have.”

Turner and Johnson were pegged as the freshmen duo early this season, given their playing history and a chemistry that developed from Turner’s laser passes and Johnson’s ability to get up and finish at the rim. Lately though, Johnson’s scoring has been inconsistent. The freshman sandwiched a two-point performance at Washington State between posting 18 points against Utah and 20 at Washington. Johnson has only scored a total of 17 points in the last three games and has had eight turnovers.

Johnson and Turner have scored in double figures together once during conference play, but scoring isn’t Turner’s greatest strength. He had a breakout game against USC where he had 15 points, six assists and no turnovers. Miller is hoping for much

of the same in Los Angeles. “(The freshmen need to) take care of the basketball and just be solid,” Miller said. “Be consistent throughout that 40 minutes. That’s really important for us to have any success.”

Miller added that Angelo Chol will need to come off the bench with a sense of confidence if he wants to contribute. If, as expected, Arizona faces UCLA first, Chol’s height will be needed.

Johnson has struggled against UCLA this season. He notched five points, six rebounds and two assists. Turner has been more effective, tallying 17 points, 11 rebounds and three assists combined in two meetings.

Miller knows what he’s going to get from the team’s veterans, but right now the freshmen are the X-factor. If they play well, it could seriously bolster the Wildcats’ chances in the conference tournament.

Miller added that each player reacts differently to new situations, but this late in the season, and with Arizona’s NCAA tournament hopes depending on winning the conference tournament, it’s time for the freshmen to step up.

“The bigger the game, the bigger the stage,” Miller said. “There’s some point in their freshman year, when you play close to 30 minutes, where you can’t call them freshmen.

They’ve played in so many games, so many minutes, at practice the number of times, you’d like to think they’re responsible and ready to go and that’s our hope.”

commentary

Elimination games are nothing new for Arizona basketball Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

A

rizona’s in do-or-die mode.

The Wildcats’ backs are against the wall and it’ll be time to win or go home come Thursday in Staples Center. If Arizona doesn’t leave Los Angeles with three wins in three days, head coach Sean Miller can add “2011-12 NIT appearance” to his resume.

The pressure is on and, based on the fact that Arizona starts two freshman guards and counts on a freshman big off of the bench, it would be easy to assume the Wildcats will wilt under pressure.

Sure, it remains to be seen how Josiah Turner, Nick Johnson and Angelo Chol perform in their first Pac-12 Tournament and how the UA will bounce back from a bad ASU loss.

But this isn’t Arizona’s first set of must-win games. This isn’t the first time this Wildcats group has been forced to employ the mantra of “now or never.”

Arizona’s been swimming upstream since falling to Washington at home on Jan. 28 to move to 5-4 in conference.

“We’ve been in these games since early February,” Miller said on Tuesday. “It’s not like when we went to Cal there was no pressure or playing our last home game here against UCLA, playing at Arizona State. In a sense we’ve been in elimination games for about a month now.”

Arizona’s made the NCAA Tournament bubble its home for the last month or so. After the whiteout loss to Washington, most media outlets wrote off the Wildcats. The UA lost two of its last five games and, in a ho-hum conference, it looked like Arizona was destined for mediocrity.

From that point on, Arizona entered must-win mode.

If the Wildcats hadn’t swept the Bay Area schools, their chances at an at-large bid would have been all but squashed. If they haddn’t taken care of Colorado at home, the Buffs would have swept UA on the year and gained an edge in the conference standings and the eyes of the selection committee.

Had Arizona not at least split the Washington schools and swept the L.A. schools at home, the Wildcats would most certainly have lost their Pac-12 Tournament first-round bye and chances at the Big Dance.

Then there was the ASU game, a rivalry matchup in which Arizona had everything to lose while the Sun Devils were able to play carefree and loose.

The Wildcats ended up losing to the Sun Devils in what Miller agreed was his most devastating regular season loss as a head coach given what was on the line.

All of the talk of must-win games for an at-large bid vanished, and Arizona still ended up having to rely on a Pac-12 Tournament victory to avoid the NIT. But that’s not the point. The moral of the story written by Miller and company over the last month is that Arizona’s been in gut-check games since February.

Every game held major implications, allowing this young Arizona team to develop a mentality most teams don’t acquire until conference tournament time.

These players have faced questions about being on the bubble and must-win games for weeks now. They’ve played in seven games decided by four points or less and two overtime games.

No matter how many freshmen it starts or how bad the ASU loss was, this team’s been in this position for the last month.

UCLA, who it will most likely take on Thursday, is still one of the hottest teams in the conference and as tough of a matchup for the Wildcats as anyone.

But for Arizona, the March Madness started in February, and the Wildcats are as prepared for a three-day grind as any team in the conference.

Whether that translates into three wins and an NCAA Tournament berth remains to be seen. ­­­­—Mike Schmitz is a marketing senior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu or on Twitter via @WildcatHoops.

Women’s tennis to test win streak Iman Hamdan

Arizona guard Nick Johnson shoots against Utah on Feb. 11. Johnson, along with fellow freshmen Angelo Chol and Josiah Turner, is key to the UA’s success.

Daily Wildcat The Arizona women’s tennis team will host North Carolina State for its last non-conference match of the season today at noon at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.

“N.C. State was ranked in the Top 25 when the year started, so I know they are good,” head coach Vicky Maes said. “We cannot overlook them based on where they are now. We are going to have to be hungry and we’re going to have to play solid start to finish.”

This will be the first time the Wildcats meet the Wolfpack.

Arizona goes into today’s match 9-3 for the season and 7-0 at home. Meanwhile, N.C. State comes to Tucson off its first ACC win of the season in a close match against Wake Forest, 4-3.

The Wolfpack’s season record stands at 4-6.

N.C. State’s Joelle Kissell is ranked No. 46 in singles, while Arizona senior Natasha Marks and sophomore Kim Stubbe are ranked No. 92 and No. 100 respectively.

“We’re still growing as a team and we cannot get comfortable,” Maes said. “Every match is an opportunity to improve and I expect the same Wednesday.”

UCLA awaits women’s hoops in first round

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s basketball team wrapped up its regular season with a loss to ASU 70-63 on Saturday. The loss finished a conference schedule from hell for the Wildcats, as they lost 15 of 18 games in the Pac12 and finished 14-16 overall after starting 11-1.

In a season of misfortune, Arizona luckily was matched up with UCLA (14-13, 9-7 Pac-12) for the opening game of the Pac-12 tournament in Los Angeles today — lucky in that

the Bruins are one of three teams the Wildcats defeated in conference play. In their second game against UCLA, though, Arizona reverted back to its losing form in a 72-58 loss.

“The first game we played them here, it was a very close game, came down to the wire,” head coach Niya Butts said. “Then we went up there (to Los Angeles), didn’t do a lot of things particularly well and they were able to get the win.”

Against UCLA the first time around, leading scorer Davellyn Whyte had one of her better games of the season, scoring 23 points

coupled with 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals. Her struggles in the second game proved to be costly, as she shot just 3-of-15 from the field, 0-for-9 from long range and scored just 12 points.

“I think going into the Pac-12 (tournament) we have to rebound, be physical and just play our game running transition because that’s our game, we just have to be ready to play,” Whyte said.

If Arizona wants to pull out a win in the first round, and its first since

Arizona center Kyle Quinn sets up a block against NAU on Sept. 3, 2011, at Arizona Stadium. Quinn and the Wildcats are practicing at a breakneck speed during their first spring under head coach Rich Rodriguez.

It’s full speed ahead for Arizona in spring practice Faster tempo among major changes in first spring under Rodriguez

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat Full-speed, up-tempo, fast and quick — these are some of the words players used to describe the pace of practice under new Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez.

Monday marked the official first day of spring football. The speed at which Rodriguez likes to work acted

as a wake-up call of sorts for Arizona.

“Fast. One word,” center Kyle Quinn said. “There’s no nonsense, no wasted movements with coach Rod’s system.

We’re going to be fast. It’s going to be something to see.”

The breakneck pace of practice didn’t come as a complete surprise, as Rodriguez and his coaching staff tried to warn the team that it would be moving around a lot. But that didn’t make it any less exhausting.

“They told us (practice) was going to be faster like NASCAR, Indy driving tempo, so I was like, ‘Wow, that’s something I never experienced,’ but

I was ready for it,” said Richard Morrison, who is transitioning from receiver to quarterback.

Even though the first day was tiring, much of the team said it enjoys the change of pace from what former head coach Mike Stoops brought to practice.

“Pace was the biggest difference between the old style and now, and that’s probably just because of the philosophy of the practice and how we want to be known,” senior safety Adam Hall said. “We’re running to the ball every play, we’re not giving up

Stanford The Cardinal are 28-1 and a perfect 18-0 in conference play this season, and I don’t see any reason for that to change. Senior forward Nnemkadi Ogwumike was just named the Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year for the second time in three years and leads the conference in scoring with 21.6 points per game.

Out in the first After failing to gain the momentum they so desperately sought at the end of the season, the Wildcats’ game against UCLA will be a tough one. If by some miracle Arizona can get past UCLA in the first round, the season will almost certainly end in the second round when Arizona has to play Stanford.

Nnemkadi Ogwumike, Stanford The aforementioned Ogwumike has been tearing up the Pac-12 Conference all season long, and there’s no reason for her to stop now. Stanford is a step above the rest of the teams in this conference, and Ogwumike will prove that until she wins MVP after cutting down the nets and hoisting the Pac-12 championship trophy.

Stanford As T-Pain would say, all they do is win. Literally. The Cardinal is 17-0 in the Pac-12, 27-1 overall and is ranked No. 2 in the country.

Stanford is ranked fifth in the nation in scoring, ninth in assists, eighth in field goal percentage, sixth in rebounding margin, fourth in scoring margin and sixth in turnovers.

Enough said.

Out in the first The UA’s first opponent, UCLA, is one of just three teams the Wildcats beat in Pac-12 play this season. If the Wildcats can beat the Bruins again, which I don’t think they will, then they would have to face Stanford in the second round.

Translation: Arizona will win a maximum of one game, which still likely won’t happen.

Nnemkadi Ogwumike, Stanford Nnemkadi and her sister Chiney form one of the nation’s most potent low-post duos.

Nnemkadi is the more talented and accomplished of the two, however, as evidenced by her winning the media’s Pac-12 Player of the Year award, coupled with a conference-leading 21.6 points per game .

UCLA Conference tournaments are so much about who’s hot at the right time, and few teams have more momentum than the Bruins right now. Despite their off-the-court issues, the Bruins are winners of three of their last four games. UCLA has the all the ingredients needed to make a run and steal the conference tournament.

Out in the first If the Wildcats were playing anyone but the Bruins, I think they could make a run at the championship. But UCLA gives Arizona serious problems on both ends of the floor and I expect the Wildcats to fall in a close one to the eventual Pac-12 Tournament champions.

Lazeric Jones, UCLA UCLA’s leading scorer will have a tough time with Kyle Fogg, who limited Jones to two points on 1-of-12 shooting in their last meeting, but he’s coming in averaging 19.0 per game in his last two contests. He’s scored 18 or more in three of his last four and will most likely be the most productive Bruin, which should earn him the hardware.

Washington The Washington Huskies are so stacked in nearly every category that it will be a tall order for a team to knock them out of the Pac-12 Conference Tournament. The Huskies come up big in big games, and that’s why they’ll have the tournament title to go along with the regular season Pac-12 title.

Loses in semifinals The Wildcats have a tough task to make it through the first game in the Pac-12 Conference Tournament, let alone to get to the Big Dance. They’ll slip by UCLA in a game that goes down to the last possession, but Washington will be too much for Arizona’s sevenman rotation to overcome.

Tony Wroten, Washington When the Huskies win it all, they’ll have Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Tony Wroten to thank. The freshman is leading the Huskies in scoring and will be instrumental for Washington during his first trip conference tournament. He has the ability to change the game and will do just that for the Huskies’ NCAA Tournament hopes, too.

Miller ‘disappointed’ in program’s progress

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat Arizona has faced a handful of obstacles this season, and UA head coach Sean Miller has arguably done more with less than any coach in the Pac-12 Conference because of them.

But even considering the Kevin Parrom situation, the loss of Derrick Williams and Momo Jones and the dismissal of Sidiki Johnson, among other hurdles, Miller is still not pleased with his team’s falling short of the expectations that come with Arizona basketball.

“I’m disappointed as we are right now,” Miller said. “I think when you’re the head coach at Arizona it’s about winning while competing for a regular-season championship. It’s about being part of the NCAA Tournament and it’s about having a team that can advance in the NCAA tournament like we did last year.”

Miller acknowledged that Arizona’s had a lot of “great moments” this season. He said he thinks he’s gotten a lot out of his team for the most part, but at the end of the day, a 21-10 team that needs to win the conference tournament to get into the Big Dance isn’t what Arizona basketball is all about.

“I think we’ve had a lot of great moments, but this is the University of Arizona,” Miller said. “This isn’t 21-10.

I’m not walking down the street feeling like we’ve accomplished a great deal. The bar here is extremely high and we’re not going to lower it for any reason. That’s the challenge and we have to be consistent in doing that year in and year out.”

Freshman’s first start leads baseball to win

By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat Freshman pitcher Lucas Long led the No. 7 Arizona baseball team to a comfortable 6-0 win against UC Davis on Tuesday night in his first career start.

Although Long gave an impressive performance in the shutout victory, he said it wasn’t quite as easy of a task as it seemed.

“I was pretty anxious going into it,” Long said. “I didn’t get a great night

sleep, but I got comfortable pretty quickly and it turned out pretty well.”

Long pitched 6.2 innings of scoreless baseball for Arizona, helping the team win the first of two games against UC Davis. Long is now 2-0 on the season after finishing his first career start with seven strikeouts while scattering six hits.

“Long was very good,” said head coach Andy Lopez. “He’s obviously making a name for himself and is going to push for the third spot in the

The Wildcats’ offense didn’t make the first few innings any easier on the freshman as Arizona couldn’t get anything going with the bats. But after sophomore Johnny Field scored on a two-out double by freshman Trent Gilbert, the Wildcats came alive.

and it’s full speed all the time.”

Linebacker Jake Fischer, who missed all of last season after tearing his ACL, was a big fan of the new coaching style.

“They gave us a fair warning that practice was going to be very up-tempo and I liked it a lot,” Fischer said. “It’s a challenge. It’s cool. You’re tired but I like it.”

Rodriguez, who counts Arizona as his sixth coaching stop, admits that the first practice is always going to be ugly and there’s no avoiding that. In addition to the pace, learning a new scheme always takes a while.

“The learning curve is going to be different no matter what scheme you put in, but you combine that with the pace that we want our guys to learn and practice at (and) it’s going to be a little bit different,” Rodriguez said. “Our guys are eager, they’ve been coached before and they understand that this is a transition and there will be some problems during spring practice, but I think they’re eager and that’s a start.”

Rodriguez, who was hired in November to replace Mike Stoops, installed a stop light at the north end zone of the Jimenez Practice Facility.

Lemberger: 16 points, four assists.

“UCLA, with the amount of injuries they’ve had, they’ve had to mix and match a little bit like we do,” Butts said. “But they have players that play with a lot of pride, they want to win, so the matchup is going to be a tough one with us.”

Going forward, if the Wildcats can pull out a first-round victory, they will face the No. 1-seeded Stanford Cardinal, a team that shellacked Arizona in a 40-point victory at the beginning of February.

When the light turns green, it means the players must go full speed, yellow means to practice at half-speed and red means stop.

“It’s really the first day that us coaches really get a chance to evaluate our guys and teach a few new things,” Rodriguez said. “I’ll tell them if you don’t know where you’re going just run in place.”

He was half joking when talking to the media before practice, but, if some of the players’ evaluations of practice are any indication, he was dead serious.

“He hates seeing people walk on the field, and I think we’ll get used to that real quick,” said projected starting quarterback Matt Scott.

At one point, reserve kicker Jesse Ortiz was getting water while the rest of the team was getting ready to stretch at the opposite end of the field. From across the field, Rodriguez noticed him not with the team, and yelled at Ortiz to get over there. At that moment, Rodriguez made it clear, no matter if you’re on offense, defense or special teams, if you’re a starter or reserve, he’s watching.

“When guys weren’t sprinting out on the field he noticed it, I mean he notices everything, he’s watching both sides of the ball fairly equally,” Fischer said. “If you’re not running, going full speed or working your hardest, he’s going to get on you for it.”

is rumored to be a candidate for the Miami of Ohio opening.

“I couldn’t imagine anyone being more prepared, more experienced, better person, ready to be a head coach than James Whitford,” Miller said. “He’s an exceptional coach, one of the most loyal people that I’ve been around.”

While at Arizona, Whitford coached up UA’s defense and was the point man in recruiting Solomon Hill, Derrick Williams, Gabe York, Grant Jerrett and Brandon Ashley.

“Those are some pretty good players,” Miller said with a smile, “and he did it all not being from the West.

“I would hate to lose him but it’s the right thing if he were given that opportunity and it has to be a good one for him to leave Arizona but that’s all part of this. I want that for him. I hope he gets that opportunity whether it’s this year or beyond, but I know he’s ready to go right now.”

inning, then the Wildcats put up three more runs in the sixth to put things out of reach.

“We pitched well, played very good defense, and had good timely hitting,” Lopez said. “It’s a good win — it’s still early in the season but it’s a good win.”

Junior Stephen Manthei replaced Long in the seventh and preserved the shutout with 2.1 innings of hitless relief.

Manthei had a 12.00 ERA coming into the game, but he was able to rebound from his past few performances and finish off Arizona’s second shutout of the season.

“Manthei did a great job tonight,” Long said.

“He put his foot down, struck out the guys he needed to, and got the outs he needed.”

Long wasn’t the only impressive freshman on the night. Gilbert went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and Maggi drove in his first career RBI. Since Maggi replaced junior Bobby Brown in the lineup, he has hit .444 including a 2-for-3 effort Tuesday night.

“It’s that old axiom — you find the place for a bat,” Lopez said. “And he’s doing a good job … at the plate and he’s probably going to put himself in the lineup here on a regular basis.”

Junior Vincent Littleman will make his first

Heyer named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week

Junior Kurt Heyer was named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week after his complete game last Friday against Harvard. Heyer tied his career high with 14 strikeouts in the Wildcats 7-1 victory while giving up just one earned run on six hits and no walks.

“I think he deserves it, he obviously did a great job,” Lopez said.

This is Heyer’s first career Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week honor, adding to the three Pac10 Pitcher of the Week honors he’s amassed throughout his Wildcat career.
