McKnight out for season with ACL injury By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona sophomore starting cornerback Jonathan McKnight tore his ACL on Wednesday and head coach Mike Stoops said he will miss the entire 2011 season. “It’s disappointing for Jonathan. He’s a terrific player and he’s had a great camp,” Stoops said after Thursday’s practice. “It’s just one of those

things. I feel very disappointed and sad for him and for our team. He’s a great leader for us and he’s an outstanding football player for us but it’s just the way things are going right now.” McKnight is the fifth Wildcat to tear his ACL since the end of last season — Jake Fischer, Greg Nwoko, Adam Hall and Willie Mobley are all rehabbing from the same

injury. Like a few of his hampered teammates, McKnight’s ACL tear was nothing more than a freak injury that wasn’t induced by contact. “He was just slowing down and it kind of came down on him,” described secondary coach Ryan Walters. “Nothing out of the ordinary happened, just a freak accident, man.” Although Arizona is deep at cornerback with proven

senior Trevin Wade and talented sophomore Shaquille Richardson, the injury couldn’t have come at a worse time for McKnight. The 5-foot11, 175-pound River Ridge, La., product was playing the best football of his career — he was the only cornerback locked into a starting spot — after seeing action in all 13 MCKNIGHT, 10

University Information Technology Services says reckless user behavior is key to issue prevention for online services By Amer Taleb

STUDENTS

AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE A CATMAIL ACCOUNT WHEN

MAKING THEIR NETID UPON ADMISSION TO THE UA. IF USED CARELESSLY, CATMAIL CAN FORWARD UNWANTED MATERIAL AND PRESENT PROBLEMS TO STUDENTS. Online behavior is a cardinal indicator of the issues that students may encounter with CatMail , said Kelley Bogart, senior information security analyst with the Information Security Office. Personal information can be hooked away from students responding to phishing emails, which are designed by cybercriminals to imitate trustworthy organizations like a bank asking for credit card information. Bogart said the UA may send students email reminders to change their NetID passwords, but will never ask them to send confidential information through an email. Spam levels range drastically and are contingent on user habits and filter settings, Bogart added. UAWiFi is the safest wireless Internet connection students can use on campus. “UA Public (Wi-Fi) scares me,” Bogart said. “Your confidential information is in the air.” The UA Public connection is designed for visitors to use, not students. A banner page initially pops up detailing the risks of the unsecured service that can easily be accessed and used by criminals to steal private information. Bogart said connecting to UAWiFi is a simple process that only needs to be done once. More information can be found on the University Information Technology Services website.

The recent opening of University Physicians Hospital’s two new behavioral health care facilities may mean better medical care for Tucson residents and more opportunities for UA

medical students. After nearly two years of construction, University Physicians Hospital opened the doors of the Behavioral Health Pavilion on Aug. 17. Two days before, the Crisis Response Center opened. The $66 million project was funded with taxpayer funds approved via separate bond measures in 2004 and 2006 that was approved by more than 60 percent of Pima County voters. The new facilities were built to relieve strain on Pima County’s emergency rooms, detention

centers and other resources. “It’s a huge success, a real win-win for the people of Tucson and Southern Arizona,” said Dr. Mazda Shirazi, medical director of the UA’s Emergency Department of Medicine and chief of staff at University Physicians Hospital. Shirazi said that in just one week, the volume of patients in UPH’s emergency room, which makes up the vast majority of hospital traffic, has increased by 20 percent.With increased UPH, 2

Optical Sciences chooses dean By Brenna Goth DAILY WILDCAT

For the first time in its history, the UA College of Optical Sciences is undergoing a change in leadership. Thomas Koch, director of the Center for Optical Technologies at Lehigh University, will replace James Wyant as dean of the College of Optical Sciences on Jan. 1. Wyant is stepping down to return to teaching or enter industry work, he said. The College of Optical Sciences, formerly the Optical Sciences Center, is one of the largest in

the country and accounted for 20 percent of the university’s invention disclosures in 2010, according to a report from the Arizona Board of Regents. Wyant has served as the dean of the College of Optical Sciences since its inception in 2005. The college grew under his leadership, gaining a new building, securing more funding and adding to its faculty. Wyant announced he would step down in April 2010. He knew Koch and thought of him as a possible replacement. “I really pushed him hard to apply,” Wyant said.

“I thought he was the perfect person for the job.” Koch said the college’s research and ties with different industries attracted him to the UA. He wants to continue his leadership in the same spirit, he said. “I think it’d be a little crazy to start offering changes before I learn about the people and the environment,” Koch said. “I think it’s easier to say the things we need to continue.” The college is larger than the center Koch OPTICAL, 2
