ASUA NOTEBOOK

Senators approve $5,000 for block party RACHEL MCCLUSKEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

ASUA approved $5,000 to pay for a festival to promote student voting in the upcoming presidential election during its weekly meeting on Wednesday.

The Red, White and Blue Block Party will take place on Oct. 3 directly following the presidential debate, which will be broadcast on screens.

A concert will also be included in the festival. Although ASUA has narrowed the performing artist down to two choices, the association has not disclosed any names.

Contests will also be held between dorms, clubs and greek organizations, with prizes such as a $500 donation to philanthropy in the winner’s name or a catered dinner.

According to Tess Korbesmeyer, the UA’s campus organizer for the Arizona Students’ Association, voting efforts so far have resulted in the registration of more than 1,000 students.

Astronauts give student $10K custom middleware that allows hardware and software components to communicate.

Mackin was born in Augsburg, Germany, into a military family, and eventually moved to Arizona where he attended high school in Sierra Vista. He decided to come to the UA because of the engineering program and because his brother, now in his first year at MIT as a graduate student, also attended the university.

When asked about his memorable experiences at the UA, Mackin mentioned his work on projects and his excitement when he reached an end result and

Increasing outreach

In an effort to offer more physical classes, one ASUA senator is looking to implement a course that would earn students three credits for a few hours a week in the Student Recreation Center.

Political science junior and Associated Students of the University of Arizona Sen. Danielle Novelly said she plans to create a class that will broadly cover topics such as health and wellness, but have physical recreation activities included, too. The health portion would be similar to the currently offered general education Nutrition, Food and You course.

While Novelly has yet to determine a curriculum, an idea for the recreation portion of the class includes going to the Rec Center and participating in various activities, much like other classes that have a discussion section.

“As opposed to a discussion, like a normal course,” Novelly said, “maybe go to the Rec and there would be like a spin class or like something like that.”

Novelly has been working with Mark Zakrzewski, the Rec Center’s associate director for programs, to develop the course.

ASUA also discussed how to be more accessible to students. In three

could demo his work to others.

“It’s the final end product that we get to show to the group, when everything is finally fixed and ready,” Mackin said. “It gives you a sense of satisfaction when everything finally comes together.”

Mackin’s work at the university prompted professors to nominate him for an Astronaut Scholarship Foundation scholarship.

“It seemed like a great opportunity,” Mackin said. “When I read the description for the scholarship, it definitely fit with what I was doing.”

The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation is a nonprofit corporation that awards 28 scholarships annually to students majoring in engineering, natural or applied science or mathematics who plan to advance their field of study in the future, according to the scholarship’s website.

When Mackin learned that he had been selected to receive the $10,000 scholarship, he was excited to hear that he had won, although some professors in the department expected it.

“Casey is a truly exceptional student and I think that this scholarship confirms that,” said Jonathan Sprinkle, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and a principal investigator in Mackin’s research group. “I was really proud of him, but realistically I wasn’t that surprised because he’s such a great student.”

Former Skylab astronaut Edward Gibson presented Mackin with a check for $10,000 on behalf of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation on Wednesday afternoon. Gibson spoke about Mackin’s exceptional accomplishments and the success that Mackin will have in the future.

“I could not be happier to present this to this gentleman,” Gibson said, before presenting Mackin with his scholarship.

“When you look at his background and what he’s done, you realize he, and others like him, are going to ensure our nation is really in good hands.”

Following graduation, Mackin plans to attend graduate school and earn a doctoral degree. While discussing his plans for after graduate school, Mackin said he planned to stay in academia and work as a professor in order to conduct research as well as teach.

“It’s really the influence from the professors I work with here and my research advisers,” Mackin said. “I enjoy doing research, and working as a professor allows you to continue doing research and get with other students that have interests in your research.”

Professors who know Mackin are confident in his future, no matter which career he decides to pursue.

“Casey has the background, the technical skills and the motivation that he can really do whatever he wants,” said Roman Lysecky, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and Mackin’s research adviser. “I think he’s capable of doing anything he really wants to.”

“Any program that inspires healthy lifestyles, campus and community engagement and lifelong learning is consistent with Campus Recreation’s vision and mission,” Zakrzewski said in an email.

Some students, like Christine Kaufman, a speech language and hearing sciences junior, said they think the class would be a benefit for many students who don’t necessarily have time to go work out, but would for a class.

“I think it would be a good idea because I feel like it’s hard for college students to take time and work out,” she said.

For others, being able to take the course would allow some students a bit more control over their schedule and the types of classes that they can take.

“I think mixing it up and having a more physical class and people being able to have credits that way, you can demonstrate things physically and more kinesthetically as opposed to just sitting in class doing book work,” said Rosemarie Turk, a biology freshman.

Inspiration for the project came from Novelly’s own frustrations in trying to take a pilates class, she said.

“I wanted to take it and I couldn’t because I wasn’t a dance major and so that was frustrating to me,” Novelly said.

The course has to be structured under a nutrition type course because the UA dropped its physical education major in 2008.

If the course is included with a lecture on health and wellness topics, it could count as three credits.

Otherwise, it will be a one-credit course.

this illness suffer from internal brain bleeding and what is known as cerebral vasospasm, Gallek said, which causes a decline of blood flow to the brain tissue, leading to further injuries.

Gallek’s main goal, he said, is to find the early predictors of the condition in order to be able perform intervention on patients and take preventive measures.

“We are looking for what influences the vasospasm that causes the outcomes,” Gallek said.

The research will not only focus on the causes of vasospasm, but will also look into genes that are in the body calcium to search for genetic indicators of cerebral vasospasm.

“What I’m looking at specifically is parathyroid hormone gene, which controls the calcium of the body function,” he said.

According to Gallek, if there is a high level of calcium in the body, then chances are there will be vasospasm in the blood and a high calcium level in the cerebrospinal fluid.

This study will allow Gallek to determine the relationship between the parathyroid hormone gene and the result of aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage, Gallek said. The overall goal of the research is to be able to identify at-risk patients before they are diagnosed with cerebral vasospasm, so doctors can begin preventive treatment as soon as possible, he added.

“If he could possibly identify a role for calcium, then we can look towards treating patients with medicine that affects their calcium,” said Leslie Ritter, a professor in the College of Nursing and Gallek’s mentor in the research.

Gallek will be looking at the differences between the parathyroid hormone genes through calcium measurements in order to fully determine the possible causes of cerebral vasospasm.

“In my opinion, as his mentor, he was qualified for the award,” Ritter said. “But there are many qualified nurses across the nation and he was one of many candidates that were confident enough to be qualified.”

Official killed was avid gamer MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — State Department official Sean Smith was chatting on the computer with a fellow online gamer Tuesday when attackers began gathering outside the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Smith, an avid gamer and married father of two, typed out a harrowing message to the friend: “assuming we don’t die tonight.

We saw one of our ‘police’ that guard the compound taking pictures.”

Hours later, Smith, a State Department computer expert, was dead, killed apparently by smoke inhalation as flames swept through the consulate building.

Also killed in the attack were U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and two other Americans whose names have yet to be released.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hailed Smith, who’d served the State Department for 10 years at U.S. outposts in Baghdad, Pretoria, Montreal and The Hague, as “one of our best.”

But that was nothing compared to the memorials that were offered by many of the 400,000 paying subscribers of the popular EVE Online space fantasy, where Smith was known as “Vile Rat,” a smart but tough diplomat and spy who worked on behalf of a major alliance called Goonswarm.

Within minutes of the announcement that Smith was among the dead in Benghazi, tributes from players flooded social media, gaming boards and instant messaging. Many gamers

“If you play this stupid game, you may not realize it, but you play in a galaxy created in large part

by Vile Rat’s talent as a diplomat,” wrote The Mittani, a friend of six years who was on the receiving end on Smith’s last message. “No one focused as relentlessly on using diplomacy as a strategic tool as VR.” As Vile Rat, Smith had infiltrated opposing groups and orchestrated plots that brought down a rival alliance, earning him his share of online enemies.

“He came off in person exactly as he came off online, as just a really cool guy and a nice guy to be around,” Goldshlag said.

McDonald’s to start posting calorie values MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

LOS ANGELES — Soon to be listed among the Big Macs and McFlurrys on every McDonald’s menu board and drive-thru across the country: Calorie counts.

As diners increasingly demand more healthful dietary options and nutritional disclosure, the world’s largest hamburger chain says it’s embracing both transparency and better ingredients.

Starting Monday, calorie counts will be posted at its more than 14,000 U.S. locations. That means customers will know off the bat that four pieces of Chicken McNuggets have 190 calories and that a McCafe Iced Mocha has 260.

In some cities and states, such as New York City and California, menu labeling is already required for major chains such as McDonald’s.

Comprehensive federal regulations, passed as part of President Barack Obama’s sweeping health care reform bill, are still undergoing adjustments.

But the Golden Arches’ preemptive effort will likely compel competitors to follow suit, as they did

when the chain began offering salads and highlighting fresh ingredients in its marketing. McDonald’s has also made other moves to clean up its reputation for unhealthy food.

In 2011, the chain bowed to pressure from health advocacy groups and began adding a serving of fruit or vegetables to all Happy Meals while shrinking the amount of French fries. In time for the London Olympics this year, the company announced its “Favorites under 400 calories” promotion, featuring the 80 percent of its U.S. menu that it said fell under the limit.

The fast food giant has also begun featuring farmers and ranchers in its commercials.

Abroad, its Canadian branch offers online videos showing how its burgers are prepped for ads; the chain is planning all-vegetarian outposts in India.

On Wednesday, McDonald’s also said it was testing out more betterfor-you options, including seasonal produce such as blueberries and cucumbers, grilled chicken, McWraps starting at 350 calories and a version of the Egg McMuffin made with egg whites and a whole

MCDONALD’S RESTAURANTS, like this one in Oak Brook, Ill., will soon begin displaying calories alongside their menu items.

grain muffin.

“We’ve made a lot of good progress toward our nutrition commitments and we recognize there’s still more to do,” said Dr. Cindy Goody, McDonald’s senior director of nutrition, in a statement.

But many McDonald’s critics

slammed the calorie-posting decisions. Sara Deon, who runs the Value (the) Meal campaign at Corporate Accountability International, called the move “purely PR spin.”

“McDonald’s wants to paint itself as a leader, but in truth, regulations

that appear in the Affordable Care Act will soon require McDonald’s to implement these changes,” Deon said in a statement. “The corporation must stop the egregious, targeted marketing of its unhealthy brand to children, and go further to mitigate its impact on our children’s health.”

US ambassador, 3 others killed in Libya attack MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA delivers remarks on Wednesday beside Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, left, on the killing of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three embassy staff.

CAIRO — Libya’s interior minister said Wednesday that the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, was killed when armed Islamist militants overran the U.S. consulate in Libya’s second largest city, in a day of rage that also struck the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, where demonstrators hauled down the American flag, tore it to pieces and burned it.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confirmed Stevens’ death and said that three other Americans had died, including another diplomat, Sean Smith. The names of the other dead were withheld, pending notification of relatives, Clinton said.

“Our hearts go out to all their families and colleagues,” Clinton said in a statement.

Speaking at the State Department, Clinton said that U.S. and Libyan security personnel battled the attackers together and that the Obama administration now is working with the Libyan government to identify and track down the assailants.

The United States “will not rest until those responsible for these attacks are found and brought to justice,” she said.

The administration, she said, will continue supporting the Libyan government as it struggles to surmount serious insecurity in the aftermath of the civil war that overthrew strongman Moammar Gadhafi.

“This was an attack by a small and savage group — not the people or government of Libya,” she said.

She praised Stevens as a dedicated diplomat who she first appointed as U.S. envoy to the opposition groups that fought Gadhafi and then as the U.S. ambassador to the new government.

Stevens, she said, “risked his life to stop a tyrant and then risked his life” working to rebuild Libya.

Clinton later joined President Barack Obama at the White House as the president condemned the “shocking and outrageous attack” and praised Stevens and other dead U.S. officials as “extraordinary Americans.”

Speaking in the Rose Garden, Obama said the Libyan government was working with the United States to boost security for U.S. diplomatic personnel in the country and track down the assailants and that security was being

increased at U.S. missions around the world.

Obama criticized the film that prompted the protest, but he said that nothing justified the consulate assault.

“Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others,” he said. “But there is absolutely no justification for this type of senseless violence. None.

The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.”

Like Clinton, Obama said that the attack would not undermine U.S. support for the Libyan government.

“Libyan security personnel fought back against the attackers alongside Americans. Libyans helped some of our diplomats find safety, and they carried Ambassador Stevens’ body to the hospital, where we tragically learned he had died,” he said.

Libyan authorities said Stevens, 52, died of smoke inhalation, but the details of the attack were hazy.

Stevens’ death marked the loss of one the State Department’s best Libyan experts and threatened to mar relations between the United States and Libya’s nascent government.

Stevens had focused most of his diplomatic career on the Middle East, spending time in Cairo, Riyadh and Jersusalem. He first arrived in Libya in 2007 and returned in the spring of 2011 in the early days of the uprising against Gadhafi.

At that time, he met with officials who would become key members of the National Transitional Council and eventually Libya’s first democratically elected government, which was seated last month. He assumed the role of ambassador in May of this year.

Sharif Abdel Meniem, 29, who helped organize the Cairo protest, said he planned the demonstrations “because the Americans did not take a real stand against” Jones’ call.

“The prophet does not have a hand in the 9/11 attacks,” he said as chanters yelled, “The prophet’s army has arrived.”

That the protest fell on Sept. 11 wasn’t lost on those participating.

“This anniversary provokes the United States,” said Islam Mustafa, 23, a student. “But [Americans] are the ones provoking us.”

The Arizona Daily Wildcat puts the issues to the test.

Do they make the grade? iPhone 5 unveiled, iPhone 4 officially declared antique

The highly anticipated iPhone 5 debuted Wednesday to a mixed reaction. The phone is faster, thinner, lighter and less prone to glare.

Many of the new features were leaked prior to the pre-launch event, so few people were surprised by the bigger screen or better camera.

Critics called the unveiling a disappointment.

Given all of the hype, we’re pretty let down too. For all the buildup to a pretty not-big deal, the iPhone 5 unveiling gets a fail.

However, it doesn’t make your perfectly good one-year-old iPhone 4S any less of an obsolete and archaic piece of crap. How embarrassing for you.

FAMU passes the buck, fails to address hazing problem

F

Last fall 26-year-old Robert Champion, a student at Florida A&M University, was killed in a hazing incident.

Champion’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit after Champion submitted to a brutal ritualistic beating at the hands of fellow musicians in FAMU’s marching band.

FAMU’s attorneys responded by filing a 23-page motion to dismiss the suit, saying Champion knew the dangers of hazing and had signed an anti-hazing pledge months before his death.

Essentially, they said it wasn’t the university’s fault Champion died, it was his.

Blaming victims of hazing for what happens to them only enables the culture of hazing. For failing to take responsibility and offer Champion’s family a chance at justice, FAMU gets a fail.

Alabama professor pleads guilty to capital murder

P

A long ordeal for the University of Alabama at Huntsville is finally drawing near its end. Former faculty colleagues of Amy Bishop can move on a bit more easily, now that Bishop has pleaded guilty to capital murder.

Bishop was a professor of biology two and a half years ago when she was accused of opening fire during a departmental meeting, killing three colleagues and wounding three more. She originally pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and prosecutors sought the death penalty.

But on Tuesday, Bishop entered guilty pleas to one count of capital murder involving two or more people and three counts of attempted murder. She is expected to receive a life sentence without parole.

This new development in the case gets a solid pass, as it will hopefully offer Bishop’s victims some comfort and allow Alabama faculty to move forward.

‘Test-flexible’ policy means greater diversity in thinking

Undergraduate applicants to the University of Rochester will be able to relax a bit.

Rochester has announced it will no longer require all undergraduate applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores, though they will still have to submit some kind of test. These could be SAT subject exams, Advanced Placement tests or International Baccalaureate tests.

“Many prospective students ‘test well’ on general standardized exams, and bring that ability to campus, while some are best at mastering specific material in subjects that interest them most,” said Jonathan Burdick, dean of admissions and financial aid, in a statement.

Finally. For seeing the weaknesses in standardized tests, the University of Rochester gets a pass. It’s important to recognize that diversity in ways of thinking is crucial to a learning environment, and standardized testing isn’t always capable of illustrating that.

an or woman, you probably care about getting a job after graduation.

The difference is, it’ll be easier if you’re a man.

A recent report on the job market by The Associated Press suggests new college graduates face the best market in years.

Members of the class of 2012 began college in 2008, around the same time that Lehman Brothers collapsed, and were essentially insulated from the market during the lowest point of the financial crisis.

Of course, students were still aware of the struggling job market, and most college students who wanted to get a “good job” after graduation pursued summer internships and networked to prepare for the potentially demoralizing months after graduation.

That hard work is expected to pay off.

Approximately 6.9 million jobs were

eliminated between September 2008 and August 2010. In the past year and a half, 3.1 million have been created.

A 2011 survey of 444 college graduates

by Rutgers University found that three out of four graduates have had at least one full-time job. In fact, 80 percent found their first job while still in college or within six months after graduating. Graduates with a full-time job reported a median salary of $28,000. However, the average earnings were nearly 15 percent higher if the graduate had completed an internship while in college.

These claims of improvement inspire hope, but the numbers can’t overshadow an ever-present problem of gender disparity.

Male college graduates had a median salary of $30,000, while female graduates only earned a median salary of $28,000.

Women graduating with a business

degree will face prejudice throughout their careers. In a survey by Catalyst, 46 percent of businesswomen polled said the greatest impediment to their success in business was “exclusion from informal networks,” like golf matches.

Informal networks — casual sports games, after-work beers and days on the golf course — forge bonds in business, so that when business gets tough, relationships endure.

The problem is that women are usually left out of these networks.

Still, the outlook’s not all bleak. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore were recently accepted into exclusive golf club Augusta National. Their inclusion into the “boys club” for CEOs is a sign of overdue progress.

As college graduates breathe a little easier about finding employment after graduation, women should look to role models like Rice and Moore. Throw caution to the wind. Don’t hesitate to take a golf club to the glass ceiling and smash your way through.

Abandon the cycle

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a fellow officer on First Street after a motorcyclist fled from him at 3:25 a.m. on Sept. 3. When the second officer arrived, he made contact with the 19-yearold passenger of the motorcycle, who identified himself with a Nevada driver’s license. His eyes were watery and bloodshot and his breath smelled like alcohol.

A field sobriety test was conducted and the passenger failed all sections of the test before admitting that he had been drinking earlier that night. The passenger said he understood his Miranda Rights, but refused to answer any questions.

The officer cited and released him for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

The driver of the motorcycle was not found.

Beware the oversize tire

A UAPD officer noticed a white Lincoln Town Car with oversized tires speeding as the driver traveled southbound on Campbell Avenue at 11:50 a.m. on Sept. 4. The officer was conducting speed enforcement when he noticed the car, which was traveling at 47 mph in a 35 mph zone.

Once the officer caught up to the vehicle, he conducted a traffic stop. The 30-year-old driver identified himself with an Arizona driver’s license. After the UAPD officer collected the driver’s information, the driver explained that because his tires were oversized, his vehicle travels about 5 mph faster than what the officer’s speedometer indicated. He also claimed that he was trying to keep his speed at 40 mph.

A records check confirmed that the driver’s license was currently suspended. The officer charged him with driving on a suspended license and gave him a warning for speeding. He was cited and released and his vehicle was impounded.

We’ve got you covered

I smell the weed

A UAPD officer went to Coronado Residence Hall at 2:55 a.m. on Sept. 3 after a residence assistant reported an odor of marijuana coming from a room on the ninth floor.

Once the officer arrived at the scene, he was immediately escorted by the hall’s RAs to the room in question. The RAs explained that they heard loud laughing noises coming from the room along with the strong smell.

The officer knocked on the door and two 18-year-old men answered, claiming to be the residents of the room.

When the officer entered the room, he smelled marijuana as well as an odor similar to air freshener products. Three other students were present in the room, but said they had been in the suite next door and were just stopping by.

Both residents claimed they did not have marijuana in their room. When the officer asked to search their room, the residents complied.

The officer opened the refrigerator, which contained two unopened cans of Keystone Light beer.

One of the residents then showed the officer a rolled .5-gram marijuana joint from the battery compartment of his flashlight. The marijuana and beer belonged to both residents. They had paid $20 for three joints, two of which they had already smoked. They would not reveal who had sold had them the marijuana.

Both residents were diverted to the Dean of Students Office for marijuana possession and given warnings on the consequences of underage drinking.

Secrecy in college athletics unfair to public Kyle Johnson Arizona Daily Wildcat

Tensions have always existed between football coaches and the media, but USC head coach Lane Kiffin took it to another level on Tuesday by suspending Los Angeles Daily News reporter Scott Wolf for two weeks of practice.

On Wednesday night, Wolf wrote on his blog that the ban was lifted after various local sports editors spoke with USC athletic director Pat Haden. Still, Wolf should never have been banned in the first place.

Here’s what Wolf wrote on Sunday, which led to the suspension.

“USC kicker Andre Heidari underwent surgery last week to repair a torn meniscus in his knee and will be sidelined about three weeks.

Heidari suffered the injury in the season opener against Hawaii and did not accompany USC to its game against Syracuse on Saturday. Walkon Alex Wood filled in for Heidari and kicked six extra points. Coach Lane Kiffin does not discuss injuries and has not said what sidelined Heidari or when he will return.”

Seems harmless enough, right?

Something clearly happened to Heidari during the Hawaii game. So Wolf went out and found a source to confirm his suspicions, something people in my business refer to as journalism.

USC didn’t see it this way.

The Trojans punished Wolf because of his article. They banned him from attending practices for two weeks and revoked his credentials for their next home game, a Sept. 22 meeting with Cal. Kiffin never addresses injuries and USC has a media policy stopping any

COLIN PRENGER/Arizona Daily Wildcat

RECEIVER AUSTIN HILL makes a catch against Oklahoma State in Saturday’s 59-38 win. Hill leads the Wildcats in receiving with 263 yards and has one touchdown catch so far.

Austin Hill’s acrobatics at receiver leading Wildcats CAMERON MOON Arizona Daily Wildcat

First to arrive, last to leave. This describes Arizona receiver Austin Hill’s practice habits.

On Monday, alone after practice, Hill stayed after most other players had left to receive passes from a JUGS machine, which shoots out footballs at a rapid rate from different angles for players to practice catching.

He’s trying to work on avoiding the thing he hates most.

“For me, a drop is about as bad as a fumble,” Hill said. “I let the team down. Maybe to everyone else in the world, a fumble is the worst thing, but I’ve always been hard on

myself [about drops].”

The extra work appears to be paying off for Hill, who has caught 12 passes for 263 yards and one touchdown as a slot receiver for the No. 24 Arizona Wildcats (2-0).

Entering this season, Hill wasn’t quite as well-known as Dan Buckner or Matt Scott in the Wildcats’ offense, as Hill faced some injury trouble in 2011 after redshirting all of 2010. He played in 10 games, but started just one.

That start, though, was a coming-out party of sorts for the receiver, and coincidentally it was against Oklahoma State, the opponent Hill just tore up for 124 yards on Saturday.

Former UA receiver Juron Criner was held out of that game last season, forcing the redshirt

freshman Hill into his first prominent game action. Hill did not disappoint, catching eight balls for 128, the team’s one bright spot in an otherwise dismal night where the Cowboys easily won, 37-14.

“The thing I like about him that people are seeing, and you saw it on film last week,” Arizona receivers coach Tony Dews said. “Is the games he played in last year, he had over 100 yards receiving. The games where Austin was healthy, he played a role in them and he made some plays.

“We knew that he had potential, but the other part is that he’s shown through camp

Construction affecting UA hockey practices JAMES KELLEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona Daily Wildcat file photo

FORWARD BRIAN SLUGOCKI looks to pass the puck against Wisconsin last season. The Arizona hockey team has been unable to practice for the new season because of renovations at the Tucson Convention Center, and will have only four days to prep for its Sept. 21 opener at NAU.

Construction is nothing new to the UA, but now it’s starting to affect the hockey team.

The Wildcats, who were originally scheduled to start practicing Sept.

10, will now have to start Sept. 17, just four days before their Sept. 21 opener at NAU. The delay is due to the Tucson Convention Center, where Arizona plays its home games, replacing old lower bowl seats.

“It’s not an ideal situation, that’s for sure,” head coach Sean Hogan said. “But I understand putting new seats in there will be better

for our organization. But one week preparation to start a season makes it tough, but it’s definitely doable.”

Hogan said the Wildcats have been weight training and shuttle testing.

They will practice five times before the first game.

“I think it will be all right. Some of us went up to Scottsdale and skated this weekend and we’ve been working really hard,” senior forward Brian Slugocki said. “We have five practices before our first game, so it’s definitely no excuse. And we’ll be definitely ready to play when Friday night comes.”

Hard work pays off for Arizona’s ‘mighty mouse’ EVAN ROSENFELD Arizona Daily Wildcat

arizona Daily Wildcat file photo

LACEY SMYTH is a junior for the Wildcats and is expected to have a big season for the UA after a solid sophomore campaign.

Lacey Smyth watched as the tennis ball struck just inside the white line. For a split second, everything went dead silent before a roar of cheers greeted her.

She had finally won the first CIF San Diego section title for the San Marcos High tennis team in 2009. It was her last chance to win the title, as she was a senior.

“Since I was a freshman I’ve wanted to win that, and it’s eluded me twice before,” Smyth said. “I am so glad that I finally won on my final attempt.”

Smyth is only 5-foot-1, so the moniker “mighty mouse” has followed her since high school. But her short stature didn’t prevent

her from getting looks from major Division I tennis programs.

She received scholarship offers from Colorado and Pepperdine, but it was when Arizona came calling that she decided to make a college decision.

“As soon as I got recruited by Arizona, I was drawn to the coaches and program,” Smyth said. “Even before I came to visit here, I knew this is where I wanted to go.

“I knew this was the right place for me because I knew I could reach my goals here and become a better player with the coaches and other players.”

During her freshman year at Arizona, Smyth met Kim Stubbe and Susan McRann, two members of the same freshman class.

Now juniors, the three have become

inseparable, training, living and studying together as student athletes.

“Lacey is a really determined person. She is one of the hardest workers on the team,” Stubbe said. “If there ever is a chance to do anything extra, she will be the first one to jump on the opportunity to improve.”

During her freshman season, Smyth compiled a 15-5 record in singles play and earned a win in the NCAA tournament defeating South Carolina’s Katerina Popova.

“She really had to buy into the idea that success comes with a little patience and that hard work don’t always guarantee wins,” head coach Vicky Maes said. “I had some things I wanted to add to her game that I felt

McKnight on his way back to full health ZACK ROSENBLATT Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona Daily Wildcat file photo

ARIZONA RUNNER Stephen Sambu will be a key member of the track and field team in January. Check out Friday’s Wildcat Weekend for a preview of the crosscountry team’s next meet, where Sambu will compete.

UA track and field releases schedule LUKE DAVIS Arizona Daily Wildcat

Head track and field coach Fred Harvey announced the 2013 Arizona men’s and women’s track and field schedule on Wednesday.

The Wildcats’ indoor season will begin Jan. 12 in Flagstaff, Ariz., at the Lumberjack Invitational.

Arizona will then compete in four meets before traveling to Seattle for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships on Feb. 22-23. Following the MPSF, the Wildcats will make a second trip to Fayetteville, Ark., for the NCAA Indoor Championships, which will be held on March 8-9.

Both the men’s and women’s teams have a few athletes with a solid chance of making the NCAA. Georganne Moline, Julie Labonté and Brigetta Barrett on the women’s team, and Nick Ross, Lawi Lalang and Stephen Sambu on the men’s team are expected to make an impact this upcoming track season.

Arizona will open its outdoor season by hosting the Willie Williams Classic at Roy P. Drachman stadium on March 15-16.

The team will host two more meets during the outdoor season, the Jim Click Shootout from April 4-6 and the Tucson Elite Classic May 16-18. The team will compete in 3 other meets during the season, all on the West Coast.

Moline went undefeated in every event she competed in last season until the NCAA Championships, where she fell in the preliminary round. However, she was able to rebound and finish fifth overall in the 400-meter hurdles race at the Olympics this summer.

“My goal for the season is to go undefeated,” Moline said. “I want to win the NCAA Championship and set all the school and national records.”

Barrett enters the season as a two-time NCAA indoor and outdoor champion. She most notably won the silver medal in the high jump this summer at the Olympic games.

Labonté won the 2011 NCAA indoor and outdoor championships and represented her home country of Canada this summer in the Olympics, claiming 22nd place overall in the shot put.

For the men, senior Nick Ross and junior Lawi Lalang lead the team. Last season Ross claimed the NCAA indoor high jump championship, the first in UA men’s history. Ross was the NCAA West Region Men’s Field Athlete of the Year and earned a bronze medal at the U.S. Olympic Trials in the high jump.

In 2012, Lalang claimed the NCAA Indoor Championship in the 3,000 and 5,000 meter races. He also earned All-American accolades during the outdoor season in the 1,500 and 5,000 meters.

“This summer I’ve been working on finishing strong,” Lalang said. “The last 30 seconds of a race are very important. I’m ready to win the championship this year.”

The Pac-12 Championship’s combined events are set for May 4-5 at USC in Los Angeles, Calif. The season will conclude with the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The first round (west preliminaries) will be held in Austin, Texas, from May 23-25 and then the finals of the NCAA Outdoor Championships will be June 5-8 in Eugene, Ore.

Against Oklahoma State, it was the play of the game — at least, according to head coach Rich Rodriguez.

With 10:24 left in the fourth quarter, and Arizona leading by just six points at 37-31, Jonathan McKnight made a jump on his receiver and intercepted a Wes Lunt pass for a 48-yard pick six.

That was the closest OSU came to a comeback, and McKnight put the nail in the coffin.

“On that particular play it was a blitz and he anticipated the ball coming out quicker,” Rodriguez said after Wednesday’s practice. “He had a great play on the ball and that was the play of the game.”

McKnight has often been called the Wildcats’ best cover corner, by both players and coaches, but coming off an ACL injury that cost him all of last season, he was limited in practices in both spring and fall camps.

Rodriguez believes McKnight is fully recovered and likes his feel for the game.

“Jonathan is still coming back from the injury, but he’s 100 percent,” Rodriguez said. “He hasn’t hit a lot because he had a sore shoulder during camp but he’s played physical. He’s got a great feel for the game.”

Linebacker Jake Fischer also missed all of last season with an ACL injury, so he understands what McKnight went through last season sitting on the sidelines.

“The thing that sucked last year is that he [got injured] a week before our first game. He was a starter,” Fischer said after Saturday’s game. “He worked his way back up, he worked his tail off.

When you’re a good football player, you have good instincts like that and you have a hunger to win … he’s gonna get to the next level. He came out and showed that he’s still got it.”

Rodriguez ‘putting on some pounds’ waiting for late-start game times

So far this season, Arizona has had two games with 7:30 p.m. start times. The next two games on the schedule, at home against South Carolina State on Saturday and at Oregon one week later, are listed for the same time.

As the head coach at Michigan and West Virginia, Rodriguez rarely ever had late start times, so he’s found himself occupying his time on Saturdays watching football and eating food.

“What else are you gonna do all day Saturday?” Rodriguez said. “It’s a long day to wait around. There’s games on at 9 in the morning, so I don’t watch them all day, but I watch quite a bit of football.

NOTES, 10 “It’s [a] more natural reaction [to dive for passes],” Hill said. “In practice, I lay out for balls, maybe catch a few, drop a few, not make it to a couple. I feel that in game from page 6 situations, most of it is just reaction. If I can run under it, I’m going to, but that gut reaction tells you that if you don’t and in the spring that he’s very smart and instinctive.”

In preparation for this season, the coaching staff moved get to it, you have to lay out.” him around the field, first as an outside receiver, and then back inside, where Hill has enjoyed his success and has finally become “more comfortable.”

“At first, I didn’t really like it just because I expected Hill believes that matching up with linebackers in the to be an outside receiver,” Hill said. “But it gave me an slot has been beneficial for him thus far. At 6-foot-3, he’s opportunity to learn every position, so no matter what bigger than most of the players defending him, but he happens during the game, I can play any position.”

Hill’s move to the slot has tapped a practically unused believes outthinking the defender is one of his biggest source of potential for an Arizona offense that has surprised strengths as a receiver.

“I’m going against linebackers more,” Hill said. “I was many with its passing frequency. taught to read triangles, so I feel that being able to play All except Hill, of course.

“I knew as a team we were going to move the ball,” Hill linebacker to safety is a lot easier than playing against a said. “I knew we were going to throw it a lot, maybe not as corner who has a little more freedom and can move around much as we have been, but I knew as receivers, we were and do what he wants to do.

“Linebackers also have to play the run at the same time going to be able to make big plays for the team.”

One of the Wildcats’ highlights in their two wins was as defending you or trying to get a hit on you. They’re less Hill’s diving 30-yard touchdown reception against Toledo. mobile. It’s easier for me to get into the middle where most Against Oklahoma State, Hill averaged 24.8 yards per defenses leave it open.”

Buckner noted that having someone like Hill, who can reception and all five of his receptions went for first downs.

Buckner said that while Hill’s acrobatics are a new sight line up anywhere on the field, has opened things up for for fans, it’s something the team has seen every day in himself and the rest of the receiving corps.

“It’s very beneficial, when you have a player that can practice.

“Austin’s been doing that since he got here,” Buckner play anywhere and be versatile on the field in all kinds said. “We see Austin do that in practice so you can’t be too of ways,” Buckner said. “When he’s making big plays like surprised by it. We’re [initially] shocked like ‘Oh, big play,’ that it takes attention off of you, off of [receiver] Terrence but when you do that in practice and work on it every day, [Miller] and [receiver/punt returner] Richard [Morrison], and all the other receivers when you have Austin making it’s gonna come naturally to you in the game.” plays like that.”

Hill agrees.

Senior goalie David Herman is more worried about the team’s chemistry with a lack of practice time.

“Definitely not getting on the ice hurts a little bit,” Herman said. ”But we’re doing two-a-day sessions in the gym, plus we’re doing our off ice workouts on the fields over at Rincon. You’re doing the same stuff that you would be doing on the ice, but it definitely hurts chemistry.”

Most of the other teams started practicing last week and some played exhibition games last weekend, Hogan said.

“They’ll be on the ice a good, two, two and a half weeks before we get on the ice,” Hogan added.

A problem the Wildcats have run into is that there aren’t any rinks in town, other than the TCC, which also hosts events like prowrestling, the circus and BMX. The ice skating

were going to make her better overall, even though she was already very good.”

During Smyth’s freshman year, she worked with Maes to improve her patience in constructing the point, developing a transition game, closing in on the net, perfecting a powerful first serve and staying up on the baseline.

“Some athletes are unwilling to come out of that shell and I respect Lacey for trusting the process and getting out of the box a little,” Maes said. “It really built more on-court maturity, which in turn led to her success as a sophomore.”

Her hard work paid off, as she finished her sophomore year with a record of 14-11 playing in the No. 1 spot in singles and a 16-7 record while playing doubles.

reports on injuries or game-strategies gleaned from in-season practices, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Apparently Wolf got too close to this imaginary boundary and the Trojans pounced, even though he didn’t cite his information from practice and found the information from an outside source.

Naturally, not everyone agrees with this decision.

“From our standpoint, (Wolf ) was doing his job,” said Gene Warnick, the sports editor for the Los Angeles Newspaper Group. “This wasn’t something that was part of practice.

We were just trying to report the news.”

Not to completely fall into party lines, but I wholeheartedly agree with Warnick’s point and football fans everywhere should agree too.

The public has the right to know about the status of a team, especially in this day and age, and if the information is obtained legally, it should be fair game.

Of course, Arizona isn’t all warm and fuzzy about injury information either.

Trust me, don’t ask coach Rich Rodriguez about an injury during the week. The response will be short and you’ll feel stupid for asking.

Though after Wednesday’s practice he was at least able to make light of the matter. Before answering any questions from the media, Rodriguez joked, “Now don’t go asking me any questions about injuries.”

rink where the Wildcats used to practice closed in 2007.

Of their opponents, Hogan said he thinks NAU has a rink on campus, ASU has nearby Oceanside Ice Arena where the team can skate every day and Illinois, Liberty and Ohio all have rinks on campus.

“Our situation’s a little different. We have a great facility in terms of game-day atmosphere, things like that, and I wouldn’t change that for the world,” Hogan said. “It just makes our practice situation difficult sometimes.”

Hogan says he has heard that Tucson, with about a million people living in its metro area, is the biggest city without a rink. He said there are 16 ice sheets in Phoenix alone.

“I think we can support one,” Hogan said, laughing.

Hogan expects the process of getting a rink in Tucson will start soon, and if the Wildcats are successful this season, it will help the cause.

She defeated numerous nationally-ranked players to help the Wildcats to a 16-9 record.

Smyth’s personal favorite moment from that season came when Arizona defeated rival ASU for the first time in eight years.

“It felt amazing,” Smyth said. “I knew going into that match that I was going to be playing a top player in the country. I wanted so badly to contribute to the team with a win.

“When we shut out our rivals 7-0, it’s something the players will never forget.”

Smyth looks to continue her winning ways and lift the Wildcats to a Pac-12 championship.

“She is meticulous in her preparations,” Maes said. “She dedicates herself 100 percent to training, nutrition and objectives. She has also become more vocal and, seeing how the team respects her opinion, this has given her another level of confidence on and off the court.”

Wednesday. Tevis, a former walk-on, led the Wildcats with two interceptions and also added nine tackles. Tevis is second on the team with 21 total tackles.

“Some guys just know how to play football, and he’s one of them,” Rodriguez said.

Carey was named the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas Pac-12 Player of the Week after rushing for 126 yards and three touchdowns while also catching four balls, one for a touchdown. The award recognizes top performers from the Pac-12 and Mountain West conferences, determined by a fan vote on a Facebook poll.

Carey is second in the Pac-12 and ninth nationally with 273 rushing yards, and he has five total touchdowns on the season.

When it comes to withholding injury information, “you just have a policy that’s set for your team and it makes it easier on the [players’] families to follow that procedure the way we do, I think,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez seems to understand that the people have the right to know. He just prefers to let the family and friends of the players know before the media.

Still, every Thursday Arizona releases an NFL-inspired injury report. It’s not a perfect world of transparency — the media doesn’t have any access from then until game day — but at least it gets the job done.

Unfortunately, around the Pac-12, it looks like coaches are starting to lean more toward secrecy.

Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian doesn’t like information being released from practice, so on Wednesday he joined the Kiffin train of thought as the Huskies sent out an oddly specific press release saying “all visitors and members of the media are hereforth prohibited from reporting on strategy or injury-related news observed during practice,” as per The News Tribune.

Wait, teams in the Pac-12 trying to keep up with USC? What a surprise. I guess it doesn’t matter if it’s on the football field or with totalitarian policies — everyone wants to emulate the Trojans.

Let’s just hope accessibility remains the status quo here in Tucson.

MAURICE JONES

Point guard Maurice Jones, the USC men’s basketball team’s leading returning scorer from last season, is looking to transfer from the school, he announced via his Twitter account Wednesday.

At 3:29 a.m., Jones tweeted “In a few hours I will be on my way home... I will be looking to transfer from USC smh” At 5:05 a.m., Jones tweeted “Goodbye

LA...for now.”

A person in the program confirmed that Jones’ intent is to transfer. The 5-foot-7 junior was going to sit out the 2012-13 season because he was academically ineligible but he was expected to return the following season. However, he appears to have changed his mind.

Jones could not be reached for comment. He averaged a team-high 13 points per game last season, when the Trojans finished 6-26.
