Passport deadline looms for Spring Break

By Rodney Haas ArizonA DAily WilDcAt

Differing opinions fuel Tuesday’s lunchtime debate between Scott Smith, left, a preacher in front of the Administration building, and Craig Johnson, right, a philosophy junior. The discussions will continue through the end of the week.

Gospel preachers return to UA

By Laura Donovan ArizonA DAily WilDcAt “The Gospel means ‘good news,’ but we have to show the bad news first,” independent minister Shawn David Holes said to a small crowd by Heritage Hill Tuesday.

This week, Holes traveled with independent street preacher Jeff Rose and Orlando, Fla., schoolteacher Scott Smith to the UA campus to preach the gospel to college students and hand out complimentary gospel pamphlets to passers-by and students.

“I love young people, and I love students. They’re very respectful,” Holes said when asked why he visits college campuses all over the country.“When I was of college age, no one shared the gospel with me.”

“

Rose agreed that the UA student reaction has ultimately been a positive one.

“We’ve had a good experience here and received pretty positive dialogue,” Rose said.

The preachers believe that college students have a need for their information and perspective.

“This is a respectfully controlled campus,” Smith added.“College is a time when

College is a time when students are trying to figure stuff out, so we give them another set of thoughts and help them learn what they’re living for.

students are trying to figure stuff out, so we give them another set of thoughts and help them learn what they’re living for.”

When asked if he knew of wellknown campus evangelist Brother Jed Smock’s direct approach to preaching, Rose said that he did not agree with

Smock’s delivery.

“I don’t know him, but our motivation

is to proclaim the gospel in respecting others. We’re not here to call names or degrade,” Rose said.

Both enjoy not only talking about the gospel but listening to students.

“I think it’s important to have all opinions available to students on campus,” said Keri Martell, an English language and linguistics graduate student.

“You can’t excise faith from the human psyche. There’s even faith in having no faith.

“I like them to be able to speak for themselves,” Martell added.

Their talks include personal reflections and stories.

“We all deserve God’s wrath,” Holes said. “Before I was saved, my sex outside of marriage and pot smoking was sending me to Hell. Jesus Christ is the only way out.”

Students have five days to apply for a passport if they plan on heading outside the United States for spring break. “(It must be) no later than Jan. 25 if they want to apply for a passport and request for routine processing,” said John Maciejewski, a passport agent at the UA Passport Application Acceptance Facility. “If they’re not going to get it done by Jan. 25, then they should apply no later than Feb. 12. If they do that then they will have to pay for expedite processing.”

The requirement is part of the second phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which took effect June 1, 2009 and required all U.S. citizens to present a valid passport when entering the United States by land.

On Dec. 17, 2004, President George W. Bush signed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act. The law was designed to improve security within the United States and tighten border protection.

Part of this tighter border security is the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which was set to begin in two phases. Phase one went into effect on Jan. 27, 2007, and required all travelers entering the United States by air to have a valid passport.

During the first phase, Maciejewski said the Passport Facility, located at 1128 E. Mabel St., saw an influx of applicants, but when the second phase was implemented the amount of applicants leveled off.

“After the second phase took effect there was a small peak but generally it’s been slow, and we attribute it to the economy,” he said.

Maciejewski said that by law a U.S. citizen cannot be denied entry into the country but warned that they will be at the mercy of the U.S. Border and Customs Protection.

“The bottom line is you can’t deny entry to a U.S. citizen,” said Bonnie Arellano, public affairs officer for the U.S. Border and Customs Protection.“If a U.S. citizen comes to a port of entry from Mexico or Canada and he or she PASSPORT, page A3

Obama faces 2nd year filled with tough challenges tHE ASSociAtED PrESS WASHINGTON — There will be no parade this time for President Barack Obama. No grand speech from the west front of the Capitol, no fireworks, no glittery balls to kick off the second year of his presidency on Wednesday, as there were for the first.

Just a lot of hard work, an agenda full of unresolved problems and perhaps a more sober sense of just what’s possible for the 48-year-old president, who’s a little grayer now than he was a year ago.

He faces a country that’s struggling to find its footing after a staggering recession, a nation that’s starting to show signs of growth but is still losing jobs.

He looks out at a world where he’s made precious little progress, still trying to get Israelis and Palestinians to the peace table, and to get the North Koreans to give up their nuclear weapons and the Iranians to abandon their own

nuclear program.

He’ll tackle those and other challenges with far less political capital than he had a year ago.

His approval rating has dropped sharply and is the second lowest in half a century for any president entering his second year, while his disapproval rating is the highest ever at this point in a presidency.

As a result, his fellow Democrats approach midterm congressional and statehouse elections this year nervous about being tied too closely to his agenda. Obama may have to change his to-do list in his sophomore year. If he gets a health care bill in coming weeks, he’ll pivot to jobs and the economy.

Then a new budget, and changes in taxes. Proposals such as the “cap-and-trade” plan to limit the emissions that cause global warming probably will have to wait. So, too, will overhauling immigration law.

“They have to rethink some things, recalibrate and refocus.

They tried to do too much. And he’s taken some hits as a result,” said Steve Schier, a political scientist at Carleton College in Minnesota.

He’ll have to navigate not only through a wary Congress but also amid a backlash among many Americans against his agenda, notably his health care proposal.

“The conventional wisdom a year ago was that the tectonic plates had shifted, that Obama could win and anything was possible,” said Michael Franc, the vice president of government relations at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative policy institute.

Yet polls show that, despite the 2008 election, Americans remain more moderate to conservative than liberal, and that creates a headwind against Obama’s agenda for a more activist national government.

“Addressing that gap between where he wants to take the country and what the American people will tolerate is his biggest single

challenge,” Franc said. “I’m not sure how much of his agenda he can get.”

Obama aides said the president has done well in a very difficult economy, and predicted that he’ll do better as the economy rebounds.

“We are happy with what we’ve achieved, but we’re not satisfied with what we’ve accomplished,” senior Obama adviser David Axelrod said in an interview with several reporters, arguing that Obama succeeded in keeping the economy from sinking into a depression while also passing such laws as pay equity for women.

He acknowledged that Obama enters his second year with less political capital, but blamed that on the economy and insisted that both will come bouncing back.

“If the economy improves as I believe it will over the course of the year, that will rebound to our benefit,” he said.

A new year, new broken windows

By Matt Lewis Arizona Daily Wildcat

University of Arizona Police Department is looking for the people who broke several windows Jan. 1 at approximately 4:15 a.m. The Architecture building, located at 1040 E. Olive St., along with several other campus buildings, had windows broken.

Seven people broke 16 windows on six campus buildings near Speedway Boulevard, according to UAPD. The damaged buildings were the Marroney Theatre and the Architecture, Music, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Art buildings. The damage is estimated to be more than $20,000, said Chris Kopach, associate director for Facilities Management at the UA. “The state and the university are in such terrible financial

condition; this is sad when the university has to spend its’ hardearned money on repairing a broken window because of what I call bad citizenship,” said Ron Stoltz, associate dean of the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.

Stoltz said replacing the windows is expensive because it’s a three-stage process.

First, the window has to be removed and boarded up. Then a new window is attached with structural silicon, which is like glue, and wedges are put in place around the window to secure it. After it dries, caulking is installed to seal the window.

The time it takes to fix a window can take up to several weeks because UA works with an outside contractor, Kopach said.

Stoltz estimated there must be about 100,000 windows on

campus and that hundreds get replaced every year.

He went on to add that the Architecture building was designed with so many

windows because they wanted transparency.

“The College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture built a building so we could be

open to the public. The public could see the activities of what goes on here 24 hours a day. It’s a shame that we have people who disregard the safety of the people inside,” Stoltz said.

The suspects are five men and two women, described as being in their late teens and early 20s.

If they are caught, they will face felony charges. Their punishment could be time in prison as determined by the court, said UAPD Sgt. Juan Alvarez.

In the Music building, the Dean of the College of Fine Arts’ office window was broken. There were also three computers and a flat screen monitor that were stolen from the building.

The Architecture building, however, is the most frequently damaged. Since April 2007, there have been 51 windows broken.

“There was a rash at the beginning, particularly during

construction. Then two people were arrested and the problem went away,” Stoltz said.

Broken windows began to reappear in spring 2009, Stoltz added.

The Architecture building has double-paned windows. Only the outer windows are broken, but Stoltz said he’s worried about the possibility of the inner window breaking.

“It is something we are concerned about because, if anybody theoretically breaks the inner window, it’s tempered glass. The window will shatter,” Stoltz said.

Kopach said that about 50 percent of all the buildings’ windows have been replaced, including the window of the College of Fine Arts Dean.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call UA police at 621-8273 or 88-CRIME.

ASUA battles weather, gears up for elections

By Taylor Avey Arizona Daily Wildcat

ASUA will be discussing student government elections for 2010, funding for new programs and the confirmation of Matthew Hum to the last seat of the UA Supreme Court today, according to Executive Vice President Emily Fritze.

The meeting will take place in the Ventana room of the Student Union Memorial Center at 5 p.m. today.

ASUA President Chris Nagata will formally announce the beginning of student government elections during their scheduled meeting.

However, elections officially began Tuesday as candidate and commission packets became available at the ASUA office, on the fourth floor of the student union.

ASUA Sen. Tyler Quillin plans to ask the panel for financial support for his peer mentor program. Quillin and his team

For now, Quillin says he needs financial aid from the ASUA but says he will need to rely on other sources of funding to keep the program running next year.

Last, the annual Arizona Students Association retreat, which ASUA will attend, was scheduled to take place this weekend at Chauncey Ranch in Meyer, Ariz. but will be delayed for several days by severe weather conditions, said Robyn Nebrich, interim executive director for the ASA. “We usually have an annual retreat to start off the legislative session on the right foot and talk about what’s ahead for the spring semester,” Nebrich said.

At this year’s retreat, members plan to discuss legislative strategy, campaign planning, tuition and executive director hiring, among other things, according to Elma Delic, director and board vice chair for ASA. However, snowy weather will prevent a third of the board members, those from NAU, from attending the annual event, according to Nebrich.

An executive meeting held Tuesday afternoon rescheduled the retreat for Jan. 27.

Hopi lecturer illuminates culture

By Zach Sokolow Arizona Daily Wildcat

Today Micah Loma’omvaya will be lecturing on Hopi Indian running traditions at the Arizona State Museum.

Loma’omvaya hopes that the presentation will provide insight into Hopi culture, and will demonstrate the importance of educating Hopi youth in order to keep their traditions alive.

Loma’omvaya is a UA graduate and a consulting anthropologist who currently works on the Hopi Indian reservation in Second Mesa, teaching youth about Hopi traditions.

In the Hopi tribe, a runner is a person who wakes up at dawn and embarks on a long and difficult journey across the desert as part of a ceremony in which members of the tribe pray for clouds and rain. Though mostly a ceremonial practice, Hopis also run to catch their own food. Runners are revered by the Hopi for their fitness and ability to provide life and

Loma’omvaya believes that speaking about the running tradition, fitness, and conventional farming traditions of the Hopi tribe will provide resources to Hopi villages.

“He is using the past to improve the future. He teaches Hopi youth about farming traditions, land stewardship and all culturally significant information to help

them improve their future,” Beth DeWitt said. “This makes them economically self-sufficient, and it revitalizes some of the older traditions.”

“Just knowing about other cultures is enriching, but it is also empowering. In the sense that understanding other people and their culture helps build peace and a more civil society,” DeWitt said.

Let’s talk inventions.

What is your favorite invention?

The Tesla, the electric car that’s made by Google, or the guys that created Google. And, instead of being really nerdy, like the nerdo mobile, making granola hippies look even nerdier in those ugly-looking hybrids, the Tesla is really sporty and cool. You should look it up. It can even come in a convertible. I want one.

How much does a Tesla cost?

I don’t know. More than I have right now. But, I’m hoping that my husband will buy me one. I’m getting married on Saturday. So, maybe my husband will buy me one. (laughs) That’s a pretty good wedding present.

Yeah. Oh, and everyone should look up (Nikola) Tesla. He was, like, a mad scientist.

I’ll be sure to do that.

What’s something that still needs to be invented?

Does it have to be something that’s actually realistic?

Not at all.

So, my water bottle is always empty, and I wish it would just fill itself.

Kind of like those dog dishes that look like mini water coolers?

Yeah. Or, I guess I could just carry a Camel Pack in my backpack. But, I carry a briefcase.

Hold up. You carry a briefcase? That’s pretty stylish for a college student. Is it like a black leather one with your name engraved in the handle?

Yeah, it is. I got it yesterday, and it’s a hand-me-down.

Nice. Any other inventions you’d like to ask the world inventors for before I leave you alone?

Uh, yeah. You know those shoes with pumps, like LA Gear pumps? Well, I wish that I could have a coat that I could just pump up if I got cold.

They have that in “Back the Future II.” Really?

Kind of. When Marty gets wet, he pushes the button on his jacket, and it instantly dries.

Oh, I can’t remember. I think that’s the one that I’ve seen the least.

Well, you should check it out. They have some pretty awesome inventions in that.

Maybe I’ll do that this weekend.

Sure. During the wedding reception.

UK bans drinking games, but resists price controls LONDON — Bar-going Britons may soon be bidding goodbye to their country’s allyou-can-drink deals — as well as some of their more outlandish drinking games.

The government said Tuesday it was banning irresponsible promotions and boozy contests such as the “dentist’s chair” ­ where alcohol is poured directly into customers’ mouths — in an effort to tackle Britain’s binge-drinking problem.

The government says the ban will limit binge-drinking, but health experts say the nation’s deepening alcohol problem would best be tackled by imposing higher minimum prices on Britain’s cheap booze.

The raft of new measures is “better than nothing,”according to Carys Davis, spokeswoman for Britain’s Alcohol Concern charity. But she said the restrictions “seem tame” compared to what the government could do by ending pricing practices that result in alcohol selling for less than water.

“You’d be hard-pushed to find a health organization that doesn’t support minimum pricing,”she said.

Britain’s alcohol consumption has risen by 40 percent over the past four decades although percapita drinking is still lower than in many other European countries - including Russia, Spain, Germany and France.

Experts say that Britons’bingedrinking ways are increasingly putting their health at risk.

A parliamentary report published in December warned that 3 million Britons were addicted to alcohol. Earlier this month, The Sun tabloid carried a photo montage of drunken New Year’s Eve revelers, including an apparently drunk woman lying face down in the snow. And on Tuesday, a government-commissioned poll suggested that one out of four Britons avoided some neighborhoods due to disorder relating to alcohol.

Government statistics suggest the country’s alcohol-related death rate has doubled since 1991. Last year, Chief Medical

Officer Liam Donaldson warned:“Cheap alcohol is killing us as never before.”

Home Secretary Alan Johnson told BBC radio Tuesday that he had not ruled out minimum pricing, but he did not want to penalize “responsible drinkers on low incomes.”

Instead, he would outlaw some of the country’s more excessive promotions - including games in which customers are encouraged to drink against a time limit, free drink deals for groups such as women or people under 25, half-price deals based on sports games and prize giveaways for downing a set amount of booze in a 24-hour period.

NEW YORK — A jury should get to decide whether a TV producer’s dealings with David Letterman were attempted blackmail or just hard-nosed business, a judge ruled Tuesday.

Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Charles Solomon refused to throw out an attempted grand David Letterman larceny charge against the producer, Robert “Joe” Halderman.

The ruling puts the case on a path toward trial, which could bring testimony from the “Late Show” host about events in his private life that have been pushed into public view.

The case spurred Letterman to tell viewers in October that he had slept with women on his staff.

Prosecutors say Halderman demanded $2 million to keep quiet about the talk-show host’s affairs. Halderman says he was just offering Letterman a chance to buy - and keep private — a thinly veiled screenplay about Letterman’s life.

Whether Halderman’s conduct amounted to commerce or crime “is a classic example of an issue that is best left for a trial jury to decide,” Solomon wrote.

The 52-year-old Halderman, a producer for CBS’“48 Hours Mystery,” could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. A trial date could be set at his next court appearance March 9.

Defense lawyer Gerald Shargel said he was “perfectly willing to put it in front of a trial jury.” A Letterman lawyer has said the comedian would willingly testify.

Prosecutors say the financially strapped Halderman threatened to ruin Letterman’s reputation with information he had gleaned from his then-girlfriend’s diary.

It described her relationship with Letterman, her boss, authorities said.

Letterman married longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko last March. They began dating in 1986 and have a 6-year-old son.

In subsequent meetings with another Letterman lawyer, Halderman laid out his cover story of selling a screenplay — even insisting on drawing up a contract and getting paid by check in case of a tax audit, prosecutors said.

A new year, new broken windows

The suspects are five men and two women, described as being in their late teens and early 20s.

If they are caught, they will face felony charges. Their punishment could be time in prison as determined by the court, said UAPD Sgt. Juan Alvarez.

In the Music building, the Dean of the College of Fine Arts’ office window was broken. There were also three computers and a flat screen monitor that were stolen from the building.

The Architecture building, however, is the most frequently damaged. Since April 2007, there have been 51 windows broken.

“There was a rash at the beginning, particularly during

construction. Then two people were arrested and the problem went away,” Stoltz said.

Broken windows began to reappear in spring 2009, Stoltz added.

The Architecture building has double-paned windows. Only the outer windows are broken, but Stoltz said he’s worried about the possibility of the inner window breaking.

“It is something we are concerned about because, if anybody theoretically breaks the inner window, it’s tempered glass. The window will shatter,” Stoltz said.

Kopach said that about 50 percent of all the buildings’ windows have been replaced, including the window of the College of Fine Arts Dean.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call UA police at 621-8273 or 88-CRIME.

ASUA battles weather, gears up for elections

By Taylor Avey Arizona Daily Wildcat

ASUA will be discussing student government elections for 2010, funding for new programs and the confirmation of Matthew Hum to the last seat of the UA Supreme Court today, according to Executive Vice President Emily Fritze.

The meeting will take place in the Ventana room of the Student Union Memorial Center at 5 p.m. today.

ASUA President Chris Nagata will formally announce the beginning of student government elections during their scheduled meeting.

However, elections officially began Tuesday as candidate and commission packets became available at the ASUA office, on the fourth floor of the student union.

ASUA Sen. Tyler Quillin plans to ask the panel for financial support for his peer mentor program. Quillin and his team

of chief mentors hope to “hit the ground running as soon as possible,” but need funding from ASUA. He plans to submit a formal funding request for $65 during today’s meeting.

Quillin hopes this program will serve as a resource for incoming freshmen and sophomores who have not yet found their social or academic niche.

For now, Quillin says he needs financial aid from the ASUA but says he will need to rely on other sources of funding to keep the program running next year.

Last, the annual Arizona Students Association retreat, which ASUA will attend, was scheduled to take place this weekend at Chauncey Ranch in Meyer, Ariz. but will be delayed for several days by severe weather conditions, said Robyn Nebrich, interim executive director for the ASA. “We usually have an annual retreat to start off the legislative session on the right foot and talk about what’s ahead for the spring semester,” Nebrich said.

At this year’s retreat, members plan to discuss legislative strategy, campaign planning, tuition and executive director hiring, among other things, according to Elma Delic, director and board vice chair for ASA. However, snowy weather will prevent a third of the board members, those from NAU, from attending the annual event, according to Nebrich.

An executive meeting held Tuesday afternoon rescheduled the retreat for Jan. 27.

Hopi lecturer illuminates culture

By Zach Sokolow Arizona Daily Wildcat

Today Micah Loma’omvaya will be lecturing on Hopi Indian running traditions at the Arizona State Museum.

Loma’omvaya hopes that the presentation will provide insight into Hopi culture, and will demonstrate the importance of educating Hopi youth in order to keep their traditions alive.

Loma’omvaya is a UA graduate and a consulting anthropologist who currently works on the Hopi Indian reservation in Second Mesa, teaching youth about Hopi traditions.

In the Hopi tribe, a runner is a person who wakes up at dawn and embarks on a long and difficult journey across the desert as part of a ceremony in which members of the tribe pray for clouds and rain. Though mostly a ceremonial practice, Hopis also run to catch their own food. Runners are revered by the Hopi for their fitness and ability to provide life and

resources to the village.

Loma’omvaya believes that speaking about the running tradition, fitness, and conventional farming traditions of the Hopi tribe will provide resources to Hopi villages.

“He is using the past to improve the future. He teaches Hopi youth about farming traditions, land stewardship and all culturally significant information to help

them improve their future,” Beth DeWitt said. “This makes them economically self-sufficient, and it revitalizes some of the older traditions.”

“Just knowing about other cultures is enriching, but it is also empowering. In the sense that understanding other people and their culture helps build peace and a more civil society,” DeWitt said.

EDITORIAL State delay in funding cause for concern

A

s reported by Anne Ryman in the Arizona Republic Jan. 8,“the state in December delayed a $75 million payment to the university system as a way to free up cash flow because of the state’s financial crisis.”This is the third time in less than a year that payment has been delayed and the first time that university leaders have not agreed expressly to the delay.

As Becky Pallack wrote in a Jan. 8 article in the Arizona Daily Star,“this time it (the delay) was involuntary.”

In a letter from President Robert Shelton addressed to UA faculty, staff and appointed professionals published Jan. 12 in the Arizona Daily Star, the UA president offered an update on“the ongoing budget dilemma in our state and its ramifications for our university.”

Shelton wrote that about $30 million has been delayed from the UA and that the date of that payment is still uncertain. “To address the shortfall from the missed payment, the University of Arizona is borrowing money from our emergency cash reserves to continue to meet our payroll and vendor obligations,” Shelton wrote.“We are able to do this on a short-term basis, but any further missed payments by the state will present significant challenges.”

These challenges could include costing the Arizona universities more in interest or making financing construction projects more expensive. As Ryman noted, a continued delay in state funding could lower the universities’ bond rating, which is similar to a credit rating for an individual. A bond rating assesses the credit worthiness of a corporation’s debt.

In his letter, Shelton endorses the implementation of a temporary sales tax to make up the cash. “That they (the legislature) have been unable to take this one simple step to help offset … the incumbent loss of essential services to the people of Arizona is, quite frankly, stupefying.”

Though Shelton has as little say as we do in what the state legislature approves, it’s not hard to agree with his word choice when considering how little the state has done to address this issue. Shelton wrote, “The Governor continues to work to gain legislative support,” but this does little to pay the bills — ­the state’s or the universities’.

The Arizona Board of Regents held an emergency meeting Jan. 7 to address the situation. They have sent a letter to the governor asking that payment for December and January be provided this month.

The ABOR letter even threatens to withhold tuition collections which universities must, by law, turn over to the state.“A one month delay of the December general fund payment has improved the state’s cash flow at the expense of the universities’ cash flow,”the letter noted.

“Further delays of university general fund payments or uncertainty about when the December payment will be made to the universities may necessitate a delay in our remittance of tuition collections to address the universities cash flow concerns.”

As Shelton notes, ABOR’s strong stance is appreciated, but it does little to make up for the $30 million and delays payment to the state. It is merely a threat.

As of Jan. 19, the legislature still has not approved Gov. Brewer’s sale tax increase, and no one within the UA could be reached. Who knows, for sure, whether the UA has received any state funding for December or January?

Voters who feel strongly about higher education should remember the low priority Gov. Jan Brewer places on funding to universities when choosing a gubernatorial candidate in the election later this year.

It will also be a vital question for candidates for state legislature: It is our elected officials who are, as Shelton notes, failing to pass the sales tax increase, failing to appropriate funding to state universities as it is due and failing to represent the best interest of the more than 100,000 constituents who currently attend Arizona universities.

In response to Ben Harper’s column,“Student Fourth Amendment rights in jeopardy,” Jan. 13: The Fourth Amendment right is in no jeopardy. As a renter, from the university, private individual or a complex, the owners of the property have all right to the property, to include the searching of the property. If a police officer is given permission to search a building from the owner, they can.

The University of Arizona is the owner of the dorms, not the student.

It is unclear in the article if the school officials that searched the room

were indeed actual police officers or a private security firm. Either way, an individual has the right to peacefully arrest another individual as a civil arrest.

The University of Arizona does not require a student to live on campus.

Therefore, if the terms of the lease are not acceptable to the student, they are allowed to seek other living arrangements to include buying a home and being able to decide on the search of one’s residency.

Many of the points on which Obama campaigned have been lost in the last year of difficult legislation and budget woes. Immigration reform and the cap-and-trade plan have both seen little progress.

The President’s biggest success has been his recent work dealing with the Haitian people after the devastating earthquake of Jan. 12. He has granted Temporary Protected Status that will allow about 100,000 Haitians to stay legally in the U.S. for 18 months, and more than 10,000 U.S. military personnel are on their way to Haiti to offer aid and relief.

President Obama has struggled to live up to campaign claims and to tackle the difficult issues with which he is faced. As he heads into his sophomore year as Commander in Chief, the President must remain diligent to his previous goals as he faces a job that seems much more difficult than he anticipated.

Exclusive opportunity, or corporate exploitation?

magine how lucky you’d be if an amazing summer call at the worst times? The obnoxious door-tointernship came straight to you. door salesmen who don’t take no for an answer?

Thus, Southwestern is not Miranda Butler responsible for interns’ health, well-being for an exclusive opportunity: The Columnist company sends students to a workor success — and if the students don’t do shop that teaches marketing skills, well, the company loses nothing.

It sounds too good interns that they ask potential employees for names to be true, and for many college students, it is. This and phone numbers of their friends as well. After all, “exclusive”deal is not exactly what it sounds like. the more students that Southwestern hires, the more You know those telemarketers who always money they can make with no risk to their profits.

But it’s a huge risk to financially burdened college students who might not fully understand the truth before accepting a job. Southwestern claims to teach valuable skills by sending interns to different cities.

The company does assign its interns certain regions in which to sell their products; however, interns have no guarantee that these locations will be safe or that they will contain the proper demographic of people who would even be interested in purchasing educational books. Once again, since students don’t work for the company, they are required to pay for their own transportation and gas expenses that quickly add up when traveling to more than 30 homes per 12-hour day.

Southwestern does not force students to work 72 hours per week, but they do acknowledge that truly successful interns usually toil that much.

Nevertheless, even the best salesmen usually only sell books to two houses out of 30 that they visit.

That’s 28 other grueling trips where hardworking college students receive no reward for their efforts.

So, the Southwestern Company may seem promising, but there are countless college students who have had horrible summers at Southwestern. The Web site www.southwesterncompanytruth.com supplies numerous testimonies of negative Southwestern experiences. An anonymous UA student posted their story in an article titled“Do your research before

Southwestern!”Here, the student explains that they put 10,000 miles on their mom’s car while working for the company, and didn’t even come home with much to show for it:“I didn’t meet one first year that made $8,000 dollars over the summer; in fact I walked away with a check for a little over $200.”(Keep in mind, that $200 was from 2+ months of work.) The student also adds:“I just wish I would have listened to a friend when he told me of his buddy’s experience selling for Southwestern.”

If our own peers have had such atrocious summers with this company, is Southwestern the kind of corporation that talented UA students should work for? Many students — and their parents — don’t think so. The Southwestern Company has been barred from some colleges, including the University of Birmingham. There, they were banned from recruiting interns during lectures because“Southwestern places the welfare of students into jeopardy.”

Thus, we at the UA should realize Southwestern entices potential interns with an opportunity that oftentimes backfires, and is far from worthy of students’ skills and abilities. Allowing Southwestern to advertise during Gen ed lectures just seems like an accident waiting to happen.

policebeat

By Bridgette Doran Arizona Daily Wildcat

Party’s over

On Jan. 14, a University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol when he noticed a woman sitting on the curb in front of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house.

She appeared to be swaying back and forth while talking on the phone.

When the officer got out of his car to talk to her she became uneasy and started to walk away.

After asking if he could speak with her, she nodded her head, and he noticed her red, watery, bloodshot eyes, and that she was still swaying back and forth.

The woman said she had not been drinking and told the officer she was 19. He asked to conduct a Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test, and she refused because she did not know what it was.

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus is the involuntary movement of the eye due to alcohol, and is a form of a field sobriety test that officers use to support probable cause, according to UAPD Sgt. Juan Alvarez.

Once the woman learned what the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test was, she told the officer it wasn’t necessary because she had been drinking in the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house.

When the officer asked for her CatCard for identification, she pulled out a white card and then quickly placed it back in her purse. The officer asked for the card she put back, and she said she didn’t have anything besides her CatCard and room key.

He searched her purse and found a Washington Identification Card that was issued to a different woman who was 22 and looked like her.

She claimed she found it when she was home in Oregon and was just holding on to it.The officer took the ID card and placed it into property, and the woman was arrested for underage drinking.

While on the scene, the officer found out there was an unsanctioned event at the Alpha Epsilon Pi house, and fraternity officials were contacted because of underage drinking. The house was then cleared of all non-members.

‘It’s college’

A UAPD officer was on patrol Jan. 13 when he noticed two men walking in front of Park Student Union toward University Boulevard.

The men were stumbling and rocking back and forth. The officer pulled over after he saw one of the men lean over a trash can and throw up.

When he pulled over to talk with the men, one of them began to walk away while the other continued to lie on top of the trash can.

He continued to walk away even after he was told to stop and claimed he just wanted to get back to his dorm. Both men were underage and identified by California driver’s licenses.

The officer reported that both men had watery and bloodshot eyes. One of the men said,“There are millions of kids on this campus drinking — why are you talking to us?”

Both men were cited with minor possession. While being written up, the less drunk of the two became angry and kept saying,“I know you have to be 21 to drink, but it’s college.”

They were released and the incident was reported to the Dean of Students Office for Code of Conduct.

Vandals spread silly string

A facilities manager called UAPD to the Arizona Health Sciences Center on Jan. 14 to report vandalism.

The woman was told by UA custodial services that there was damage done to multiple floors of the building.

On the fourth floor, black marker lines were found all over the walls.

There were paper shreddings thrown all over the seventh floor and orange silly string spread throughout the eighth floor.

A window was also found broken in the eighth floor stairwell.

Police took photos of the scene, and the mess was cleared. There are no witnesses or leads.

‘I promise I will never do it again’

On Jan. 14, a UAPD officer was on bike patrol when he spotted two struggling men in the back of a pickup truck.

The men seemed to be having trouble with their hand-eye coordination while trying to get out of the truck.

As the officer went over to the men, he noticed bloodshot eyes, a strong smell of alcohol and slurred speech.

One of the men began to stand but was unable to keep balance and instead sat down on the tailgate of the truck.

While being questioned, the man began to cry and became very emotional, stating,“I know I’ve been drinking,”“I just want to go to my room,” and“I promise I will never do it again.”

The officer cited both men for underage drinking and escorted the emotional one back to his room.

An hour later, paramedics were called to the man’s dorm room in response to reports of the man vomiting. He was not transported to the University Medical Center, but the incident was reported to the Dean of Students Office.

PAC-10 HOOPS

POWER RANKINGS

By Bryan Roy Arizona Daily Wildcat An incredibly weak men’s basketball Pacific 10 Conference can still have power rankings, right?

For a conference that received three votes in the AP Top 25 poll this week, putting any order to the irrelevant cluster means nothing.

It would almost be more accurate to rank them 10a, 10b, 10c, etc. But alas, here are this week’s winners and losers.

Our debut Pac-10 rankings take a look at how the conference established this pecking order.

1. ASU

(14-5, 4-2 Pac-10)

A four-game winning streak is all anybody can do to gain national respect in a depleted conference. The only way for the Pac-10 to improve is by defining its caste system and ensuring that two or three teams establish themselves against the rest. For the time being, ASU holds that responsibility.

2. USC

(11-6, 3-2)

Only the gritty Trojans remaining from the Tim Floyd regime would thrive under Kevin O’Neill — and that’s a good thing. O’Neill failed to do that as interim head coach at Arizona because his players were too soft. No doubt today’s Trojans have embraced the role as a permanent spoiler this season.

Suns center Channing Frye, left, boxes out fellow ex-Wildcat Chase Budinger of the Houston Rockets in a Jan. 6 game between the teams at U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix.

After finding limited roles in his first NBA stops, Frye has found a significant starting position with the Suns.

Ex-Wildcat Frye finds success with third NBA team, 3-pointer

By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat After starting all of the Phoenix Suns’ 41 regular season games, former Arizona basketball star Channing Frye finds himself in an alltoo-familiar position — back on the bench.

As Phoenix attempts to climb out of a rough stretch after losing 15 of its past 25 games, Suns head coach Alvin Gentry pulled Frye from the Suns’ starting lineup. Including Monday night’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Suns have dropped four straight games.

Despite the benching, Frye found satisfaction throughout the first half of the season, playing the most significant role for an NBA team in his five-year career.

“Honestly, as cliché as this is, every game I literally just, you know, say my little prayer like, ‘God thank you for even letting me know I’m going to play tonight,’ ” Frye said after a Jan. 6 victory against the Houston Rockets. “(Gentry) just gives me opportunity and I just take advantage of them. I’m taking advantage of every day.”

Frye knew opportunity would come — it was only a matter of when.

After being the No. 8 pick in the 2005 NBA Draft to the New York Knicks, the ex-Wildcat earned a starting spot only to see his role fade as a result of injuries, coaching decisions and an eventual 2007 draft-night trade to the Portland Trailblazers. Even in Oregon, Frye’s place on the Blazers was small, but he kept his mouth shut and his attitude positive.

Last offseason, Frye’s opportunity came. The product of St. Mary’s high school in Phoenix signed with his hometown Suns.

“I always knew I had a place (in the NBA).

I always believed in myself,” Frye said during a game that pitted his Suns against the Rockets and fellow ex-Wildcat Chase Budinger. “If you’re trying to do the right things and just not getting the right opportunities, you look at yourself a lot.”

His fortune changed upon joining the Suns.

Within the Suns offensive system, Frye played the role that fit him best — he was told to shoot now and shoot later. Frye has hit six 3-pointers in each of five games this season. With point guard Steve Nash creating SUNS, page A10

After a murderous nonconference schedule (losses to Syracuse, Ohio State, New Mexico and Kansas) the Bears landed on their feet with an impressive win against USC. Jerome Randle is still one of the conference’s best players, despite only having only 462 friends on Facebook.

5. Washington State (13-5, 3-3)

They almost blew a 21-point lead to Stanford — but who cares. A win in the Pac-10 is a win — without Tony Bennett, no less. Ugly or pretty, it keeps them afloat.

After playing in the low post with the Wildcats, Frye has transformed into a 3-point shooter to find success.

The best of the weekend's athletic performances

By setting the tone with thumps against Stanford and California last weekend, some called it the Weekend of the Decade for the Huskies. Granted it’s only been a few weeks, but Washington needed a sweep against the Northern California schools after losing three of its first four conference games. Just like that, it’s toward the top.

Unlikely journey to Tucson

More than 6,000 miles from the UA campus is the city of Nouméa, New Caledonia.

Known more for its bright blue waters and striking rock formations than for producing collegiate basketball talent, the French territory in the South Pacific is the home to Arizona women’s basketball player Soana Lucet.

Lucet transferred to the Arizona program from the College of Southern Idaho and is the only female athlete from New Caledonia to ever play collegiate basketball in the United States.

This accomplishment alone is something that Lucet says she is proud of, but she isn’t stopping there.

“I have more goals that I want to reach,” Lucet said.

Despite growing up in a soccer-crazed region, Lucet was never drawn to the sport and instead found her way to the hardwood by playing basketball during free time at school.

“In high school, when we didn’t have class, people would sometimes play basketball, and I was tall so I thought, ‘I want to play,’” the junior forward said.

After spending two seasons in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lucet has made an immediate impact for the Wildcats (9-7, 3-3 Pacific 10 Conference), by averaging 13 points and 7.1 rebounds in the paint.

Arizona’s third-leading scorer is coming off a career-high 28 points in a win over Oregon and credits her hard work in practice to her development as a player during games.

3. Washington

6. Arizona (9-9, 3-3)

Imagine a year when wins at UCLA, at Oregon and against Washington aren’t all that impressive. The Wildcats split their first three conference weekends with Saturday wins — seemingly reviving a week’s worth of confidence.

Saturday’s showdown in Tempe will be Arizona’s first true test as a full-strength developed team. As the New Yorkers (Kevin Parrom and Momo Jones) establish their roles, look for the Wildcats to jump higher as experience becomes a strength.

7. Oregon State (8-9, 2-3)

It’s hard to overlook a 9948 loss to Seattle University (what?) and list them higher than three other teams in the conference, but then again they’ve won two of three including a Civil War victory against the Ducks. From this point onward, there’s no difference in talent or strength.

8. Oregon (10-7, 2-3)

Alan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona forward Soana Lucet gets a coaching lesson from head coach Niya Butts in Arizona’s 119-112 win over Oregon on Saturday. In the game in McKale Center, Lucet scored 28 points.

“I really try my best to work my hardest in practice because I really believe that hard work in practice will make it easier in games,”Lucet said.“I was kind of frustrated in the beginning, but now I’m actually starting to have fun.”

Lucet’s junior college numbers shed light on the dimension that she adds to a team.

Last year she shot 48 percent from the field and knocked down 75.2 percent of her free throws, bringing versatility to a Wildcat team that was in dire need of another post player to complement junior forward Ify Ibekwe.

In addition to helping the Wildcats work towards success in the Pac-10, Lucet was recently recognized for her success in the classroom when she received the C.A.T.S. Student-Athlete

of the month award for November-December.

Having to adapt to a new school, Division I basketball and classes can be a burden for any transfer student, but Lucet’s discipline in her studies, along with support from the coaching staff, has allowed her to adjust to her new life in Tucson.

“We have study halls and tutors who help, but you just have to be willing to put the work in,” Lucet said.

“I’m not that smart,” she added, jokingly.

All of Nouméa is watching their prized basketball player compete on a high level, and one of Lucet’s bigger goals will be to help lead the Wildcats back to the NCAA tournament, beginning with rival Arizona State on Sunday.

W-HOOPS

Judging by the deafening silence in McArthur Court this weekend, it’s not a great time to be a Duck. When exUA assistant Mike Dunlap signed a two-year deal this offseason, many wondered if that was Oregon’s successor plan for an underperforming Ernie Kent.

ATHLETE of the WEEK

Davellyn Whyte

By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat Editor’s Note: Guard Davellyn Whyte, the only freshman on the Arizona women’s basketball team, is putting up some serious numbers in her debut season for the Wildcats. The Phoenix native scored 39 points in Arizona’s 119-112 win over the Oregon Ducks on Saturday and earned the Pac-10 Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for the week of January 11-17. The Arizona Daily Wildcat’s Michael Fitzsimmons caught up with Whyte to ask her about her record-breaking performance, her highest point total and why she would play soccer if she didn’t play basketball.

Arizona Daily Wildcat: Before your record-breaking performance on Saturday, did you feel any different during warm-ups or anything?

Davellyn Whyte: No, not really, I felt normal. I went in thinking it was just another Pac-10 game and just wanted to focus on winning it.

ADW: Is 39 points the most you’ve ever scored in a game?

DW: No. Well in college yes, but no‌ ADW: Really? Did you score more in a high school game?

DW: It was for AAU ball, and I think I had 42.

ADW: Wow. I noticed that you’re wearing a different pair of shoes during games than you were wearing earlier in the year, and they are different from what the rest of the team wears. Are they lucky or something?

DW: (Laughs) No, it’s just I’ve always played in Jordans, so I figured once the Pac-10 season started let me just get back to what I’m used to.

ADW: Yeah, they seem to work. How has adjusting to the college game been so far?

DW: Um, the first couple games I thought it was going to take me longer, but as the season went on, I wouldn’t say it got easier, but I adjusted quickly.

ADW: If you could play any other sport, what would it be?

DW: Soccer, definitely.

ADW: Very cool; do you have a favorite soccer player?

DW: No not really. (Laughs) I just love soccer.

ADW: How about a favorite athlete?

DW: Chris Paul.

ADW: What’s your favorite thing about college life so far?

DW: Probably just playing basketball.

ADW: All right so off the court, do you have a favorite movie?

DW: Wow, um ‌ my favorite movie‌.

ADW: It’s hard to choose, I know‌ DW: I guess I don’t have a favorite movie, but I definitely like to watch funny movies.

ADW: Nice, that works. Before a game, do you have a pregame playlist of music or anything?

DW: Not really, I like to listen to slow stuff before the game though ‌ slow music.

NBA Hoops Roundup cutting Anderson Varejao for a basket to put the Cavs up by six and then James, who has so far turned down a chance to compete in the All-Star weekend dunk contest, slammed one to make it 102-94.

Cleveland’s defense, nearly nonexistent for three quarters, put its talons in the Raptors in the fourth quarter. Toronto went 7 of 20 from the field in the final 12 minutes.

Andrea Bargnani scored 19 for Toronto, which lost for just the fourth time in 14 games.

Williams added 10 assists for the Cavs, who have won 10 straight home games over the Raptors. James could have finished with a triple-double, but had a 10th rebound slip out of his hands with 29 seconds left.

Wade gets 32, Heat RD. run past !6/.$!,% s 9950 W. MCDOWELL Pacers 113-83

623-936-5149 MIAMI — Dwyane Wade scored 18 of his 32 points in the first quarter as Miami ran out to a commanding early lead, and the Heat went on to beat the Indiana Pacers 113-83 on Tuesday night.

Michael Beasley scored 21 for Miami, which led 36-19 after one quarter and by 23 at one point in the opening half. Wade shot 12 of 20 and passed the career 11,000-point mark with a second-quarter layup.

Jermaine O’Neal added 10 for the Heat (21-19), who rested most of their starters for the entire fourth quarter and will reach the midpoint of their season Wednesday at surging Charlotte.

Brandon Rush scored 17 for the Pacers, who are 4-17 on the road and 0-3 against the Heat this season. The Pacers lost by 13 on their home floor Oct. 30, and now have lost in Miami by 34 and 30 points over the past month.

Danny Granger missed 11 straight shots on his way to a 2 for 16 night, finishing with only eight points. According to STATS LLC, of the 217 games in his career with at least 10 shot attempts, Granger shot worse in only one — 2 for 17 at Philadelphia on April 10, 2007.

This one was all Miami from the outset.

The Heat scored the game’s first nine points, the biggest unanswered spurt to open a Miami game this season, and Wade quickly got rolling as well. Only a 27 percent shooter from 3-point range coming into the game, Wade made his first four tries from 3-point range, including an unusual one credited by goaltending.

He shot 7 for 8 in the first quarter, had 25 points by halftime, and Miami was well on its way to winning its only home game during this odd 17-day stretch that included a just-completed six-game road swing followed now by games in Charlotte and Washington. “Strange schedule,� Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said pregame. “Never seen one like this.� — The Associated Press

Phil Masturzo/Akron Beacon Journal/MCT

Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O’Neal scores career point 28,002 between the Toronto Raptors defenders Chris Bosh, left, and Andrea Bargnani at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday.

Shaq tops 28,000 career points

CLEVELAND — Cavaliers center Shaquille O’Neal has become the fifth player in NBA history to score 28,000 points.

With his first basket Tuesday night, a layup in the lane in the opening minute against Toronto, O’Neal joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928), Michael Jordan (32,292) and Wilt Chamberlain (31,419) as the only players to reach the milestone.

O’Neal, who is in his first season with Cleveland, was saluted by the crowd during a timeout in the first quarter.

LeBron just misses triple-double as Cavs down Raps

CLEVELAND — LeBron James scored 28 points and performed a few signature dunks, Mo Williams added 22 and the Cleveland Cavaliers began a long stretch

of home games over the next month with a 108-100 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night.

James had11 assists and nine rebounds as the Cavs, who just returned from a long road trip, improved to 15-3 at Quicken Loans Arena, where they’ll play 10 of their next 12 before Feb. 19. The Eastern Conference leaders will host the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.

Cleveland’s Shaquille O’Neal added 16 points and became the fifth player in NBA history to surpass 28,000 in his career.

Chris Bosh scored 21 for Toronto but was limited to just five after halftime by Cleveland’s defense, which allowed 60 points in the opening half. The Raptors only scored 17 in the fourth.

Williams left briefly with a left shoulder strain but came back and hit the game’s biggest shot, a 3-pointer with 5:27 left that gave the Cavs a 98-94 lead. James found a

Time to Step it UP!

Operating a half-million dollar robot was just a bit nervewracking for Mesa, Arizona, native Shane Durkin during his Human Origins Genotyping Laboratory internship.

Shane came to UA intending to major in Physiology, unsure exactly how he wanted to pursue his future in medicine. “I didn’t know if I wanted to become a doctor, a physician’s assistant, or something else.

I did know that I wanted to work in the medical ďŹ eld.â€? Within his ďŹ rst semester of studies, Shane explored his options and this led to a change in major though not a major change in direction. Now majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Shane graduates in May 2010 and plans to apply for medical school. He said, “I’m happy I switched my major because it allowed me to explore what else is out there.â€? Read Shane’s complete success story at www. career.arizona.edu.

UofA Bookstore to buy non-textbooks

By Bethany Barnes Arizona Daily Wildcat

By Bethany Barnes Arizona Daily Wildcat

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

A handful of students stand in line Tuesday afternoon to return textbooks to the UofA Bookstore’s buyback window. The bookstore will now buy students’ used fiction and nonfiction books to re-sell at half the listed cover price.

continued from page A6 opportunities for Frye to hit from beyond the 3-point line, the center did what had made him the ninth all-time scorer in Arizona history: only this time it wasn’t from under the hoop but rather 23 feet and nine inches from it.

“He kids me sometimes now that, ‘Coach you should’ve really let me shoot that 3,’” said Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson, who was in Phoenix to watch Frye and Budinger. “I said, ‘Yeah, I could have let you shoot the 3 and I could have had (former UA point guard) Jason Gardner or somebody underneath rebounding, that makes a lot of sense.’

“But he’s done a great job and it’s perfect for him to be with Nash,” Olson added. “Channing just moves around that 3-point line and knows if he leaves a passing lane open to Nash, Nash is going to get him the ball.”

The UofA Bookstore wants to buy your used general books.

The bookstore has expanded from buying and selling textbooks to buying and selling fiction and nonfiction.

Used books, identified by a yellow sticker on the spine, will be sold at half the cover price.

Students will be able to trade in their used books for either cash or store credit, which can be used for anything in the bookstore. Students who trade used books for store credit will get slightly more money.

Used books will be bought and sold on the ground level in the general books department, next to Starbucks.

“It should be quick and easy,” said Ellen Dickinson,

The UofA Bookstore is buying used fiction and nonfiction books When:

11 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday through Friday

Requirements for selling a used book: •

Book must be in good condition • Must have CatCard

Bookstore officials want to have used books available to provide customers with more choices.

“If you just need something fun to read and you just want to spend a couple bucks on it and if you want something interesting and weird, we just might have it,” Dickinson said.

The standards for used

general books will be different than they are for used textbooks.

Used general books must be gently used and cannot have any writing or highlights.

The bookstore’s buying hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Currently the bookstore has four people buying used books, but they will soon train student workers to buy used books as well.

Some students said they are more interested in buying used books than selling them.

“It’s a good thing if people need money,” said Haley Cica, an undeclared freshman.“Living on campus, I probably wouldn’t sell used books.”

Keishe Mahone, a pre-physiology freshman, said she already sold back some of her used general books, but didn’t see much of a profit.

“I don’t even remember what I got. Not a lot at all,” Mahone said.

Callie Frisch, an English sophomore, said she is uncertain about selling her used books, but always buys used books.

“Sometimes it is really hard to sell back your book. I don’t even sell back my textbook if all I’m going to get is $15,” Frisch said.

Frye’s skills expanding from under the hoop to beyond the arc He said it...

Frye on new Arizona head coach Sean Miller and this year’s team:

“We need to stick with them. Even though they’re not winning every single game, they’re a young team. You don’t want people to be like, ‘Oh they’re fair-weather fans.’ That’s not what I grew up on. I’m always riding with the Wildcats.”

Frye on being a movie buff:

“Every movie I can, I watch. Avatar was the best movie I’ve ever seen in my life. I loved it. I think it was just transcending.”

Gentry on Frye passing up too many shots:

“We didn’t bring him here to be a passer, and sometimes I still think he passes up shots. The thing with Channing is he’s just got to realize that he shoots and then he thinks he’s shooting too much, so he passes up a couple of shots.”

post play in college earned him the third highest rebounding total in the UA history books.

“I was a completely different player back then,” Frye said, who played under Olson from 200105. “I think what he did was he taught me just how to play the game and just trying to do my job.

I took that role, being the post guy, being the center. Hey, it got Channing the chameleon me in the league, got me drafted Comparing Frye’s role at and taught me a lot just about 4C-Qtr Wildcat Health 01.pdf 8/22/09 9:02:21 AM Arizona to his role playing for the playing different positions.”

The 6-foot-11 center only Suns is nearly impossible. His

launched 26 shots from beyond the 3-point line in college, connecting on just six of those.

In 42 games this season alone, Frye has hit 98 of his 3-pointers — second-most in the NBA — on 43 percent shooting.

“I think you just look at our system … it’s been working, so why stop it?” Frye said. “I think if you look at some of the better teams in the league, they have two big guys — one of them as a spacer and one of them as a popper. It gives everyone a

chance to space.”

But after earning a blinding green-light to shoot from the Suns coaching staff, Frye’s reputation as an explosive offensive weapon has garnered some criticism. In a Suns system that emphasizes taking the open shot, Frye has been too hesitant, Suns head coach Alvin Gentry said after the Suns 118110 early-January victory over the Rockets.

“We try to tell him, ‘Here there’s going to be some nights

where you might take 15 3’s,’” Gentry said, even after Frye’s 6-for-12 performance from long distance that night. “That’s OK with us as long as they’re within the rhythm of our offense, which can easily happen. There was an opportunity for him to shoot probably four or five more.

Would have been fine with us.”

The Jan. 6 contest was only a minor mishap Frye’s part.

Struggling through the second half of January, he hasn’t hit double-figure scoring since a

Jan. 8 loss to the Miami Heat.

But through his rocky road from New York to Portland to the Valley of the Sun, Frye has been counted out before. After all, he was once a lightly recruited high school product, one that Olson said wasn’t considered a top150 player in the country.

The Hall of Famer took a risk, and it paid off for both parties.

“When I first saw him he was just a gangly kid,” Olson said.

“What I liked about him was that he ran the floor. He was really coachable so you could see that. Four years later he was the No. 1 senior taken in the pro draft. I think that’s indicative of the kind of commitment that he makes and (his) work ethic.”

That work ethic led Frye to 3-point accuracy — perfect for the Suns’ system — and a little resiliency hasn’t hurt either.

“For me, I think I just try to stay in faith and just growing up and just discovering how to play all over again,” he said of keeping his head up through the tough times.“It’s just been a blessing being here.”
