Expo gives students jumpstart

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Nearly 1,000 high school students and more than 100 teachers and company representatives met in the corridors of the Tucson International Airport despite pouring rain to talk about colleges and careers in technology.

Steve Peters, the conference coordinator for the Key to Employment for the 21st Century expo, brought in representatives from the UA, businesses and several other schools including Pima Community College, to fill more than 60 tables and a dozen theatres in the airport.

“This year is by far the best,” said Susie Bowers, assistant director of recruitment and outreach for the College of Engineering at the UA. “I’ve talked to more people in the first hour today than in the entire three last time,”she said.

Bowers and the College of Engineering have been involved with the expo for the last several years.

“The point of the expo is for students to get a head start on their career,” said Rebecca Myren, a student involved in women’s programs outreach and retention in the UA College of Engineering.

For many, this year’s expo feels different from last 15 years.

“It’s grown,” said June Webb-Vignery, director of the Metropolitan Education Commission, which is in charge of the event. “It’s gotten even more focused on high-tech and more focused on math and science.”

When the expo started, the focus was on jobs in Pima County but has since transformed to serve the “need of the future,” Webb-Vignery said. “Students have gotten paid internships from this. Many come back and say this is where they got the idea for their career.”

Even students who were involved in the expo for the first time said they understood the impact of the event.

“It’s crazy,”said Stacey Sires, a representative of the Environmental Development Group.“I didn’t expect so many kids here, but there’s been a real variety of schools. I mean, a fourth of these kids already know what they want to do.”

The event is designed to help high school students transition into college.The UA encourages students to utilize the facilities of the institution right in their backyards.

Katie Schwertz, an optical sciences graduate student, came to the event to inspire interest in science careers.

“I’m here to get people aware that a career in optics even exists,” Schwertz said.“Here, we show them what they can do with optics and what they need to do to get there.”

There were also representatives from schools and jobs focused on fashion, hospitality, construction, and many other education and career paths, said Webb-Vignery.

Mars fans unite tonight

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Mars is the closest it has been to Earth since 2003, so members of the UA faculty are attempting to bring the red planet a little bit closer to Tucson with a special event. “Mars: A Celebration of the Red Planet,” a collaborative effort between the UA Flandrau Science Center, Biosphere 2, and the Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter, will take place at all three affiliated institutions today.

The presentation at the Flandrau center will focus primarily on the rapidly changing scientific views of Mars; particularly in the wake of recent research opportunities presented by both the Phoenix Mars Lander and the HiRISE imager aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

“Recently, there has been sort of a revolution in studying Mars,” said Shane Byrne, an assistant professor of planetary sciences. “The difference between what we were able to do 10 years ago and what we can do now is literally night and day.”

Byrne’s presentation will focus on the formation and modification of polar ice deposits on Mars. He is studying how they might relate to processes such as glacial movement and tectonic activity occurring on the planet.

“Scientists had a long-standing belief that Mars was nothing more than a dry, static, desert-like planet,” Byrne said. “But recent research has indicated that as much as half the planet may be covered with ice just below the surface.”

These assertions are based on a series of images from HiRISE, which shows, among other things, ice at the bottom of impact craters.

The real discovery is not necessarily the ice, Byrne says, but its implications, particularly from a biological perspective.

“The application of these discoveries

College of Fine Arts ABOR plans degree increase merger saves $300k

By Taylor Avey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Alexandra Newman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Schools of Theatre Arts and Media Arts will combine into one School of Theatre, Film and Television this fall because of a 7 percent acrossthe-board budget cut, to the College of Fine Arts recently.

The merger will save the College of Fine Arts $300,000. The savings will come mostly from dissolving currently unfilled faculty positions. Upcoming retirements and a reduction in spending will also help, according to the current School of Theatre Arts director Bruce Brockman.

“The focus has been on the budget

savings that have come about but there really is another whole facet to this,” Brockman said. “The School of Theatre Arts and the School of Media Arts have a great deal in common, mostly because the two disciplines — or the skills imparted in them — end up playing important roles in the industry.”

Faculties and directors of both schools have come together to discuss the move and discovered some common ground, along with new program possibilities for the new school.

“The faculty are actually quite excited about what this might mean in enhancing course opportunities,”Brockman said.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — UA President Robert Shelton and the presidents from the two other state universities outlined their individual models to improve college affordability and enrollment during the Arizona Board of Regents meeting Thursday.

Gov. Jan Brewer asked for progress reports from each university president.

Shelton outlined his plans to reach out to the Tucson community and look for ways to offer degrees that are more locally applicable.

“First, we’re drawing on the strengths of the University of Arizona’s academic core, secondly, partnerships with community colleges are absolutely REGENTS, page 3

News Tips

Kyle Gray Retailing and consumer science junior The BBC this released a documentary about chimpanzees filmed by chimpanzees this week.

Really?

Yeah, what are your thoughts on that?

It sounds a little hectic.

Maybe the camera would be shaking everywhere or something, I don’t know.

What do you think they would be filming?

That’s a good question.

Monkey activities.

Such as?

Swinging on trees, eating bananas, you know — monkey business. (Laughs) Do you think they’ll want any royalties or products made from the film?

If it takes off, maybe. Some of those animal films like “March of the Penguins,”you know, you saw penguin stuff everywhere, so maybe. But, I guess if it had some success, then I would expect to see some products to make extra revenue from it.

But how can a film like that really go wrong? I mean, you’ve got monkeys filming themselves as themselves.

(Laughs) I have no idea. I have no idea what to expect.

What would you do if you had your own crew of trained film monkeys?

I’d have them follow me around and just film me.

(Laughs) Twenty-four, seven?

Maybe, well, not 24/7, you know, certain activities I don’t want filmed. But it could be fun. It could be funny, too.

What would be edited out?

Sleep time. That would be kind of weird. I don’t think I want monkeys filming me while I’m sleeping. (Laughs) Shower time.

You don’t want them doing a “Girls Gone Wild”type shoot?

I don’t know about having naked and monkeys in the same place. (Laughs) What title would you give this documentary?

“Me Through the Monkeys’ Eyes,”“Monkeys and Me.”I like“Monkeys and Me.”Let’s go with that one. (Laughs) If you had 1,000 monkeys typing away with an infinite amount of time, what kind of book do you think they would write?

Maybe they’d write a book about observing humans from their perspective. Like, there’s these people we have no idea about and they give us things. (Laughs) What would be the weirdest thing they would write about people?

Probably the way they look. That’s what I’m going to think. That’s what we talk about with monkeys, “Oh, look at that monkey.”

Like baboons versus gorillas versus chimpanzees.

Who would you want on your side in a fight?

Gorillas. They’re big, like a silverback gorilla — they’re vicious.

I read somewhere that a 90-pound chimpanzee can take down a 300-pound guy.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, that’s scary. (Laughs) — Steven Kwan

Arizona Daily Wildcat Vol. 103, Issue 1

Tim Glass/The Arizona Daily Wildcat

Campus felt a bit more like the Midwest Thursday, as rain drizzled and temperatures dipped.

Virgina man arrested with arsenal, map of NY Army base SOMERVILLE, N.J. — A call from a convenience store clerk about a suspicious person led to an arrest and a frightening discovery: The man was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a loaded assault rifle and four magazines of ammunition.

Back in the man’s motel room, authorities found a grenade launcher, more rifles, a night-vision scope and, ominously, a map of the Fort Drum Army base in upstate New York.

Prosecutors have not said what 43-year-old Lloyd Woodson was doing with the arsenal. The FBI said Woodson did not appear to have any connection to terrorist groups.

But the weapons and the map raised questions about whether the former Navy man may have been planning some kind of attack.

Authorities did not say why he had a map of Fort Drum, where active duty and reserve soldiers are trained

and deployed. The base is about a five-hour drive from Branchburg, where Woodson was staying.

An executive for the Quick Chek convenience store chain, based in Whitehouse Station, said the clerk’s call “averted a possible problem at our store and certainly averted a problem somewhere else.”

J.D Salinger NEW YORK — J.D. Salinger, the legendary author, youth hero and fugitive from fame whose “The Catcher in the Rye” shocked and inspired a world he increasingly shunned, has died. He was 91.

Salinger died of natural causes at his home on Wednesday, the author’s son, actor Matt Salinger, said in a statement from Salinger’s longtime literary representative, Harold Ober Associates, Inc. He had lived for decades in self-imposed isolation in a small, remote house in Cornish, N.H. “The Catcher in the Rye,” with its immortal teenage protagonist, the twisted, rebellious Holden Caulfield, came out in 1951, a time of anxious, Cold War conformity and the dawn of modern adolescence. The Book-of-the-Month Club, which made “Catcher” a featured selection, advised that for “anyone who has ever brought up a son” the novel will be “a source of wonder and delight — and concern.”

Enraged by all the “phonies” who make “me so depressed I go crazy,”Holden soon became American literature’s most famous anti-hero since Huckleberry Finn. The novel’s sales are astonishing — more than 60 million copies worldwide — and its impact incalculable.

Decades after publication, the book remains a defining expression of that most American of dreams: to

never grow up.

Salinger was writing for adults, but teenagers from all over identified with the novel’s themes of alienation, innocence and fantasy, not to mention the luck of having the last word. “Catcher” presents the world as an everso-unfair struggle between the goodness of young people and the corruption of elders, a message that only intensified with the oncoming generation gap.

Novels from Evan Hunter’s “The Blackboard Jungle” to Curtis Sittenfeld’s “Prep,” movies from “Rebel Without a Cause” to “The Breakfast Club,” and countless rock ‘n’ roll songs echoed Salinger’s message of kids under siege.

One of the great anti-heroes of the 1960s, Benjamin Braddock of “The Graduate,” was but a blander version of Salinger’s narrator. “‘Catcher in the Rye’ made a very powerful and surprising impression on me,” said Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist Michael Chabon, who read the book, as so many did, when he was in middle school. “Part of it was the fact that our seventh grade teacher was actually letting us read such a book. But mostly it was because `Catcher’ had such a recognizable authenticity in the voice that even in 1977 or so, when I read it, felt surprising and rare in literature.”

“Many readers were created by `The Catcher in The Rye,’ and many writers, too,” said “Everything Is Illuminated” novelist Jonathan Safran Foer. “He and his characters embodied a kind of American resistance that has been sorely missed these last few years, and will now be missed even more.”

to the ongoing research of life on Mars are clear,” Byrne said. “If the climate of Mars was warmer or more humid in the past and water was able to exist in stable liquid form on the surface, then the potential of there having been life is greater.”

Both Byrne and Michael Terenzoni, astronomy director at Flandrau, will be presenting from 6 to 10 p.m. at Flandrau.

Biosphere 3: the Red Planet

Simultaneously,Vic Baker, a UA Regents’ professor, will be hosting a presentation at Biosphere 2. Baker’s primary focus is the geophysical and hydrological implications of various landforms on Mars, particularly channels and valleys that appear to have been cut by running water that once existed on the surface.

Of course, Baker does not shy away from the correlation between water and the potential for life on the red planet.

“There are certain conditions that are associated with life,” Baker said. “And recent indicators, everything from chemical effects measured from orbit to soil samples taken on the surface, seem to suggest that at one point these conditions were, in fact, present on Mars, including on the surface.”

Baker’s presentation will address the evidence which exists in support of theories for life on Mars, both in the past and today.

In fact, Baker said, occurrences as trivial as excess methane emissions could be indicative of primitive life, even though it is difficult to prove.

“That’s the hard part about trying to study a topic of this nature on another planet,” Baker says.“On Earth, we can just send out a couple of geologists to look around for a while. On Mars, we have to plan for years to send a couple of robots.”

Baker will also address some of the inherent issues with trying to compare

continued from page 1

Mars to Earth in this regard.

“Even if we can pinpoint a location where the environment is conducive to supporting life, there’s still no guarantee that there is life there or that there ever has been,”Baker said.“Even things like methane emissions are tricky because we can’t be entirely sure if those emissions are coming from biological, inorganic, or geologic processes.”

Vic Baker will be presenting at Biosphere 2 from 6:30 to 10 p.m.

SkyCenter Mars Night

The third program is taking place at the Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter, where Public Observing Programs Coordinator Adam Block will be hosting a hands-on program about Mars.

Taking advantage of the relative proximity of Mars to Earth, Block’s program will allow participants to scan the skies both with pairs of binoculars and the SkyCenter 24-inch telescope.

“Our program gives people a rare opportunity,” Block said.“Not many research institutions will let you walk right up and use their equipment the way we do.”

Block’s program will begin with a quick tour of the SkyCenter itself, accompanied by a brief discussion of their current research. Participants will then be given access to star charts, binoculars and even the telescope.

“This event is really just a variation of a regular program we offer up here called SkyNights,” Block said. “We give people the opportunity to come up here and use the telescope pretty much on a nightly basis, but, with this program, we will look a lot at Mars.”

Those unable to make it up Mt. Lemmon to see Block’s presentation will have the opportunity to see it live

This will give everyone who attends any one of these three programs the opportunity to see the images from Block’s presentation.

Despite the differences in tone and topic of all three presentations, all will address and acknowledge one important thing: the current interest in studying Mars and the undeniable leadership position which the UA has taken in studying Earth’s enigmatic neighbor.

Teachers expected to receive larger workloads

Both schools are working to train students for professions in the entertainment industry.

“I can kind of see their reasoning in saying (the schools are) similar because they both involve acting,” said theatre arts freshman Jessica Stennett.

“From an actor’s point of view, it would be cool to take a course in film acting.”

Faculty and students from both schools have worked together and supported each other on various projects in the past, but Brockman, who is heading the new school, says coming together will allow for more collaboration.

The merger will give acting students more chances to perform in front of the camera and film students access to a myriad of performers to use in their films.

“We have actors, they have directors that need actors to perform in their films. Our actors need to be able to have demo reels with them on film as part of what they use to get work,” Brockman said.

The merger will not compromise the academic excellence or professional standards upheld by each school, Brockman said, but will focus on the opportunities to create new majors and classes. He stressed that the intention is to let these changes happen naturally rather than forcing them.

“Part of me feels like maybe they’re just coming up with reasoning, so we’ll all feel better, but in reality will my class ever see this? Or will it be future classes of students who will see the results of this because these things seem to take awhile,” Stennett said.

Some programs may grow, evolve or merge more readily than others. The bachelor’s program

in production, for example, may directly intersect with design and production, stage management and theatre management courses in the bachelor’s program in theatre studies.

Vicky Westover, the program director for the Hanson Film Institute in the College of Fine Arts, says it’s too early to tell exactly what programs may be created or altered.

“I see potential for new programs in the field of production design … (which) is a really important aspect of filmmaking,” Westover said. “There is no film school that I know of at the undergraduate level in the U.S. that offers production design.”

Initially, faculty and staff reductions may lead to larger workloads for teachers. It may also cause minor reductions in services to faculty and staff.

But as the migration smoothes out and the curriculum is adjusted, the school will function with greater efficiency overall, officials say.

“We’re simply asking staff to do more work, and so some of the things that they have had help with — mundane kinds of things, copying, mailing, helping prepare materials for class — simply won’t be as available,” Brockman said.

Overlap already exists in the schools’ bylaws and organizational structures, but a new set of bylaws will be written for the upcoming fall semester to determine exactly how the new school will function. Brockman hopes the school will create something really unique.

“It’s a wonderfully creative solution to a problem. We took what was potentially just a negative, and we actually were able to turn it in something very positive,”Westover said.“It probably wouldn’t have come about if it hadn’t been for the pressure of the budget cuts.”

UA to host luncheon for Haiti

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A special luncheon and raffle event to benefit relief efforts in Haiti will be held at the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom on Monday at 11:30 a.m.

The UA will be cosponsoring the event with World Care, an international relief organization based in Tucson.

“Every organization manages how they handle donations differently,” said Lisa Hopper, the founder and CEO of World Care.“At World Care, we manage collection, repackaging, transportation and redistribution.”

Hopper hopes to raise enough money to cover the expense of airlifting supplies, which is necessary since the Haitian seaport closed.

Sheri Hill, an executive assistant of the UA president’s office, says that funds raised will do just that.

“Currently, we are planning on donating onehalf of all money we raise to World Care to help them with their transportation costs,” Hill said.

Raffle prizes will range from autographed UA

sports memorabilia to tickets from UApresents.

“We are very excited with the donations we have received,” Hill said, “Hopefully they will help make our event a success.”

Hopper, who will be traveling to Haiti herself next week to oversee the distribution of supplies, shares the sentiment.

“As of right now, there’s no infrastructure left,” Hopper said. “There’s no government left. People don’t even know where each other are.”

Anyone interested in donating items for the raffle can contact Sheri Hill at 621-5288.

Shelton: Upper division, graduate classes to increase

essential and third (we’re) listening to the local communities to implement degrees in those communities that they’re actually desiring to have there,” he said.

Shelton also said he hopes to increase total enrollment by 14,000 students, which will include increasing enrollment for weekend and evening courses and courses not offered at UA’s main campus. He expects around 7 percent of this enrollment to come from off campus locations.

Shelton told the board that he will continue to focus on upper-division and graduate course loads to avoid competition with community colleges.

Arizona State University plans to develop partnerships with community colleges and smaller communities across the state.

ASU President Michael Crow hopes these partnerships will increase the number of available bachelor’s degrees and cut down on their price. He also hopes the partnerships will facilitate the transfer of credits between community colleges and universities.

“We have concentrated our efforts at ASU on finding ways to expand the numbers, types and price of various platforms for access to the university level of education,”he said.

ASU is working to create more degree options as well, including three-year degree programs and degree programs offered through community colleges statewide. The university currently offers 32 associate degrees and baccalaureate degrees, and may include up to 20 more during this spring semester.

“I’m happy to announce we will be offering, in fall 2010, three four-year degrees at the community colleges in cooperation with ASU,” he said.

“These are open and available to any community college in the state.”

The final part of the ASU redesign report included plans to offer augmented on-line degree programs for undergraduate students. ASU plans to offer three

online bachelor’s degrees by fall 2010.

Northern Arizona University President John Haeger, has a similar redesign model, which includes expanding the off campus learning program, expanding their online program for workand family-bound students and outsourcing services to the community of Flagstaff.

NAU hopes to set up small branch campuses throughout the state to allow for more people to obtain bachelor degrees at a lower cost. One such branch is being considered for Prescott Valley.

“The other things that the university needs to do — food service, advising and so on — we are trying to partner with the local community and outsource with them,” Haeger said.“So it becomes a real economic development opportunity for all of the Prescott area.”

At the regents meeting, Brewer said she is grateful for all three presidents’ hard work, but she reminded them that funding for their proposed redesign models would be limited.

“The cooperation with community colleges is unprecedented,” she said, but warned that “It will cost money and I wish it could be provided, but it can’t.”

Funding issues aside, she urged the presidents to be aggressive in implementing their proposed programs.

“Student success is now more important than ever,” Brewer said. “Thank you for your continued hard work.”

Climategate report may have been false; global warming isn’t

L

ast week, global warming naysayers found a gust of wind in their sails of dissent. As reported by a New York Times article, “Climate Science Panel Apologizes for Himalayan Error,” published Jan. 21, a very specific yet egregious error surfaced in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 2007 assessment report.

The Himalayan glaciers — among the largest in the world — were projected to disappear by the year 2350.

The year was incorrectly reported as 2035, an error which apparently occurred as the information moved from source to source. The report with the glaring mistake, which some are claiming was included nefariously, also earned the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

All climate scientists would agree with Dr. Andrew Busch Jeffrey Kargel, senior Columnist associate research scientist at the UA Department of Hydrology and Water Resources, that the mistake was “embarrassing and damaging.”

As international coordinator for Global Land Ice Measurements from Space, Dr. Kargel explains that obtaining these measurements is no simple matter.

Dr. Kargel asserts that before information gets into an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, it “undergoes four levels of rigorous review with intermediate drafts and reviewer comments.” The last thing a working scientist wants is to see the credibility of their life’s work jeopardized by an irresponsible oversight.

Dissenting journalists and “denialist” bloggers were quick to pounce. One of the more civilized responses in the U.S. News and World Report stated that the “supposedly authoritative report” might have had its credibility “undermined — perhaps disastrously.”

Indeed, the mistake was outrageous. But many experts think the mistake deserved a roll of the eyes rather than the uproar it received. Now, unfortunately, the mistake has become ammunition for those questioning the validity of the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change’s findings.

Dr. Kargel assures that the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change is “very thorough, data-rich, insightrich and very well-reviewed and substantiated through references and data.” Most “evidence” and arguments against climate change are shaky, at best, and easily debunked — but not before they are disseminated among the public.

Victims of disingenuous reporting, doubtful of the earth’s warming trend every time there’s a cold snap, need only to refer to the International Arctic Research Center for an explanation of atmospheric circulation.

Sure enough, while the winter of 2009 was particularly cold in some parts of the world, overall, the year “tied as the second warmest year in the 130 years of global instrument temperature records,” according to Dr. James Hansen of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies .

According to a NASA “Black Carbon and Aerosols” press conference, Himalayan glaciers are already out of equilibrium with the existing climate. Fossil carbon emissions are out of control and not slowing down, and, while about half of the emitted carbon dioxide is absorbed by oceans or plants, many scientists believe that warmer oceans are absorbing less, and that plants of stressed ecosystems are becoming less effective at countering the elevated carbon monoxide levels.

The 2035 figure was a ridiculous error, but it was neither dangerous nor indicative of climate research in general. Thousands of experts investigate almost every aspect of the physical world, and half of their job is to scrutinize each other. Almost nothing slips through the cracks of this immense system of checks and balances, and, while it is unfortunate that the erroneous figure made it as far as it did, there is a reason it didn’t make it into the history books.

Non-scientists need to remove themselves from a conversation in which they do not belong and begin thinking about what matters: how to restructure the world’s economy so as to use resources more responsibly and contribute as little as possible to this impending crisis.

Online Comments On ‘Killer, killer, Caterpillar: Will UA continue to support criminal companies?,’ Jan. 28

Mr. Schivone has dedicated the majority of his time to finding various criminal or criminal-sounding activities committed by multinational organizations. But someone of Mr. Schivone’s intellectual prowess would hardly fail to notice the multitudinous crimes committed by the federal government of the United States: the horrors of the two-front war in the Middle East; the continued lack of legal standards and potential murders at Guantanamo Bay; the billions of dollars sent in support of his bugbear Israel; the more domestic injustice cited by his own column a week or so ago; etc. This, then, raises the question: Why hasn’t Mr. Schivone called for the UA to “divest” itself from the millions of dollars that it receives from the federal government — stimulus and otherwise? Inquiring minds want to know.

Anonymous Keep up the excellent work Gabriel. It’s such a relief to know that UA faculty and staff are opening their eyes to the atrocities that are committed with the use of Caterpillar products. While it’s only a stepping stone in hindering violence, it is a crucial one. Thank you for your hard work.

What a superb article written by true intellect. You are someone who does not falter to question the face of deception. Someone who stands to fight against injustice and who fights for peace, understanding and harmony among us all. There may be those who believe you ride on ‘high horses’ and who believe you to be of a higher status than sliced bread, but, I assure you Gabe, you are as human as the rest of us. You fight in the way of justice, thank you.

Bullies get away with murder Laura Donovan Columnist

W

hat do high school bullies hope to accomplish?

Though they may think their actions are innocent, in light of recent events it is valid to ask: Do bullies really want their victims to kill themselves?

It seems like a dramatic question to ask, but it’s perfectly valid these days, especially since the case of Phoebe Prince.

Prince, who’d recently moved from Ireland to western Massachusetts, took her own life after being cyberbullied and relentlessly teased at South Hadley High School . In addition to enduring harassment at school, 15-year-old Prince was tormented via cell phone and Facebook. The Boston Herald reported in a Jan. 26 article that Prince had been menaced by “a foul-mouthed teenage girl who was among teens who bullied her constantly … and told Prince to ‘go kill (her)self.’”

Imagine the lifelong guilt that a normal, compassionate person would feel upon learning that someone actually committed suicide after being instructed to do so. Is that what the bullies wanted?

Even in death, Prince has been

haunted by high school demons. Many of her harassers mocked Prince on her Facebook memorial page and returned to school as if nothing had happened.

According to The Boston Globe, the mean girls told state police detectives they “did nothing wrong, had nothing to do with Phoebe killing herself.” If these kids can’t learn from suicide, there’s really no hope for their personal development or acquisition of compassion.

Many commentators are unsatisfied with the way that Prince was treated, and it’s easy to assume that her death was a direct result of harassment. There is, however, a real possibility that there was something else going on in Prince’s life. Most people are picked on at some point, and some children, unfortunately, have to deal with more harassment than the lucky ones who are inexplicably left alone. The reality is that not all of these victims hurt themselves or others simply because of school bullying.

There must have been further internal suffering of which Prince’s friends or family members will never know, and the high school teasing just hastened her arrival at her breaking point.

With that in mind, it’s important for bullied teens and preteens to speak up when they are being harassed in school.

Most schools have counseling resources, and students can always approach a teacher or principal if harassment persists.

One has to wonder if Prince had mentioned any of the teasing incidents to the South Hadley High School

administration. Was she a silent victim?

Prince’s close friend, who wished to remain anonymous, told CBS that Prince hid her pain. It’s likely that she expected the teasing to subside or that she just decided to tough out the hard times.

Regardless, where were all the observant adults? Even if Prince wasn’t vocal about her harassment, her teachers were probably aware that it was going on since Prince was often terrorized in school. The Boston Herald also reported that Prince was seen running out of her algebra classroom in tears. Where was her algebra teacher during all this?

A responsible instructor would have followed Prince out the door or at least have phoned the school counselor to handle the situation. It’s hard to believe that Prince’s teachers didn’t know about Prince’s unhappiness or at least about the mean girls’ .

No matter what pundits and parents do now, Prince is still dead and her harassers will probably never fully understand the damage they have done.

Cyberbullying is sparking more suicides than ever, and schools need to take bigger steps to prevent harassment.

Disciplinary action should be enforced, and students should face suspension and expulsion for harassing peers. Call it extreme and harsh, but no measure is too extreme if it prevents a situation like that of Phoebe Prince.

POLICEBEAT

By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Back to School Special!

No sleep or heroin allowed in ILC

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the UA Main Library at 1510 E. University Blvd. on Tuesday at 4:54 a.m. in response to reports of a man sleeping in the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center.

A library information assistant stated that there was a man sleeping by the library. The woman had previously warned the man that were prohibited sleeping or being in the ILC after 1 a.m.

The officer woke the man, who identified himself verbally because he did not have any photo identification on him. A records check showed he had been warned several times about trespassing at the ILC. The man stated he knew he was trespassing and that he had decided to ignore what he had been told previously. He was charged with second-degree criminal trespassing.

Another officer found the man’s social security card along with a woman’s CatCard in his backpack. The card revealed that the man had given police his brother’s name.

The man admitted to using his brother’s name the first time he spoke with police and claimed he had just found the CatCard in the library.

After a records check was made on his actual name, a felony warrant from Pima County Jail for unlawful possession of marijuana was found.

His identity was confirmed by a tattoo on his back.

When asked why he lied about his name, he said, “I don’t want to say anything any longer.”

Upon completing his search of the man’s backpack, the officer also found bent spoons and rolled up aluminum pieces with black residue on them along with several syringes. The residue on the paraphernalia indicated black tar heroin.

When a second records check came through, it showed that the man was a known heroin user. He was cited with criminal trespassing, false reporting to law enforcement and drug paraphernalia.

The contents of the backpack were placed into police property as evidence. The officer requested that the black residue be tested.

Marijuana candy

A UAPD officer arrived at the Villa del Puente Residence Hall at 10:24 a.m. on Tuesday to check on the well-being of a student.

The man’s roommate stated that the man was disoriented, not alert and that his hands were twitching.

After the Tucson Fire Department arrived, the man told paramedics that the night before he had eaten a piece of candy in which there had been marijuana.

He said that in the past, when he had smoked marijuana, he had never had an unusual reaction.

The night before, the man said he had been rushing two fraternities. Afterwards, he went to his sister’s house to spend time with her and her roommate.

The officer called both the sister and her roommate. The sister’s roommate did have candies resembling Jolly Ranchers with marijuana in them, but said that she hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. The man’s sister did not see him eat any but said he might have had some after 9 p.m.

The roommate, however, claimed she had not seen the man in over a week and that she might have had the candies about a week ago.

She was told of the laws regarding marijuana possession and to get rid of any remaining candies.

The Tucson Fire Department transported the man to the University Medical Center. A Code of Conduct form was sent to the Dean of Students.

Dramatic reaction to skateboard citation

A UAPD officer was on patrol on University Boulevard and noticed a man doing tricks on his skateboard at the ILC at 1500 E. University Blvd. on Tuesday at 4:45 p.m.

The officer watched him for several minutes and saw him grinding on curbs and benches in the area.

At first, the man did not respond to the officer’s request to stop. He continued riding his skateboard from University Boulevard toward Park Avenue.

At the intersection of University Boulevard and Park Avenue, the officer positioned the patrol car so the man would be forced to ride right in front of him.

The officer motioned for the man to stop again. The man then threw himself off his skateboard and onto the ground.

He became argumentative with the officer and shoved the skateboard within inches of the officer’s face.

While waiting for another officer to arrive, the man sat on the curb and a records check was done. The check showed that the man had been warned before regarding the UA’s skateboard policy.

The man was issued a parking and transportation citation for violations of prohibited actions.

He then became very agitated and stood up. The officer told him to sit down. The man then threw himself to the ground, face down. He stated that he didn’t want to be slammed on the ground by an officer, so he did it himself.

The man was given a copy of the citation and released.

Even the battery?

A UAPD officer responded to the Cherry Avenue Parking Garage at 1641 E. Enke Dr. at 7:11 p.m. on Tuesday.

A man reported that he had parked his father’s 2005 Toyota Sequoia in the garage at 9:15 a.m., and that when he returned, it was gone.

Shattered glass was found near where the car had been parked. The man also stated that there had beenover $7,000 worth of stereo and television equipment. The man was given his victim’s rights and a stolen vehicle affidavit. Then, the scene was cleared.

At 8:49 p.m. that same day, the Tucson Police Department told UAPD that the man’s car had been found at 501 S. Park Ave. The officer photographed the entire car. It was found with the trunk and all four doors open. The stereo in the dash was taken out, as well as the rear sound system and television screens from inside the headrests. Footprints were photographed and fingerprints were lifted from the car.

The owner of the car tried to start the car with a spare key, but the officers then noticed that the battery had also been taken from the car.

The prints and photos were placed into police property as evidence, and the victim’s rights were reissued.

Arizona 76, Stanford 68

Cutting down the Trees

ANALYSIS

Turning back the clock COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy

Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona senior point guard Nic Wise looks at the Zona Zoo section as time expires in Thursday night’s 76-68 victory against Stanford. The win marked the Wildcats’ first three-game win streak of the season and they will host Cal in a battle for first place in the Pac-10 on Sunday.

’Cats win despite lacking offense, primed for Pac-10 first-place battle

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona might as well write itself a script.

The Wildcats dropped the Stanford Cardinal 76-68 in McKale Center Thursday night, and for the third game in a row, the undersized Wildcats (119, 5-3 Pacific 10 Conference) avoided a meltdown with sharp free throw shooting and strong rebounding to finish off a Pacific 10 conference foe.

“I would say tonight’s win is very satisfying,” said head coach Sean Miller. “It was a night when things didn’t go well for us on offense.”

The Wildcats only shot with 33 percent accuracy but used 19 offensive rebounds and 18 Cardinal turnovers to trump a resilient Stanford (10-10, 4-4) squad.

“We made (rebounding) a point of emphasis all week before the game,” said point guard Nic Wise. “We’re a smaller team but we still want to be one of the best rebounding teams.

We’re sending three players to the glass and lot of times the ball would just fall in your hands.”

Freshman Derrick Williams again led Arizona with 23 points and eight rebounds. He gave his team its first five points after the halftime break

by netting two free throws and then stepping behind the 3-point line and hitting nothing but string to give UA a 42-33 lead.

Arizona soon increased its advantage to 44-34 but after poor defense on a Cardinal inbounds play and then a 3-pointer by Stanford guard Jeremy Green, Arizona saw its lead cut to four with 15:17 left.

Green and forward Landry Fields accounted for 56 of Stanford’s 68 points, while no other Cardinal scored more than five points.

“One shot, I could have swore my hand was in Green’s face, and there was no way he could have seen the

basket but somehow the shot just went in,” said sophomore guard Kyle Fogg.

Wise, who had 14 points and hit 10for-12 from the foul line, hit two free throws with 13:07 left in the game and Fogg followed with a 3-pointer to turn the tide in Arizona’s favor. A Williams dunk set the McKale crowd wild and gave the Wildcats a 51-40 lead.

The Cardinal hung around. Fields threw down a dunk on an outof-bounds play, one of many that UA failed to defend, and soon the Arizona’s lead was cut to five.

irst place runs through McKale Center on Sunday.

It’s not the first time. Nor will it be the last.

Need one indication Sean Miller’s system is clicking? Try the over-capacity 14,563 in attendance Thursday night for a vintage Arizona-Stanford grinder.

The same series that showcased incredible recent duels between Jerryd Bayless and Anthony Goods, and Jordan Hill and Brook Lopez didn’t disappoint last night — even considering this season’s lackluster Pacific 10 star power.

Arizona’s Derrick Williams and Stanford’s Landry Fields each carried the torch for their respective teams and accounted for 54 combined points, 110 percent effort and 140-decibel crowd surges.

“I thought it was the best crowd I’ve coached in front of at McKale,” UA coach Sean Miller said.“The students were energized and I thought our crowd was a big reason we won the game.”

Tucson scribes reference “vintage McKale Center atmospheres” in contests like Thursday night’s 76-68 win against the Cardinal — but did those atmospheres ever really leave?

Gray- Swimmers ‘bare’ down for Texas Dawson too much for UA

By Derek Lawrence ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Michael Fitzsimmons ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona women’s basketball team could not keep up with the California scoring attack Thursday night in Berkeley, losing the game 73-53.

Despite keeping it close in the first half, the Wildcats (9-9, 3-5 Pacific 10 Conference) couldn’t slow Cal’s (11-8, 5-3) leading scorer, Alexis Gray-Lawson, who finished the game with 39 points to lead all scoring en route to the team’s fifth-straight win.

Arizona hung with the Golden Bears in the first 20 minutes. With 12:43 left in the half, the Wildcats held their largest lead of the game at 21-13 after a Davellyn Whyte free throw.

Whyte was held in check as she scored 11 points in the game — well below the 17.7 points she averaged prior to playing Cal. Despite the Wildcats’early lead, the Bears’ offense did not stay dormant for long. GrayDawson quickly hit a 3-pointer followed by a jumper to kick-start Cal’s scoring.

Rebounding troubles again proved to be an obstacle for Arizona, especially against the Pac-10’s leading offensive rebounding team.

Arizona lost the battle on the boards 40-24, including only seven caroms on the offensive end. The low number of second chances for the Wildcats helped Cal quickly retake the lead, entering halftime with a 36-31 advantage.

This weekend, swimming superpowers Texas and Arizona will collide at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center. The two teams will duke it out as the nation’s best.

The women’s side features a matchup of highly ranked teams, but much of the focus will be on the showdown on the men’s side. The Texas men’s team comes into the meet as the nation’s top-ranked team. The UA men are ranked second.

But, while most people would believe that going against the top-ranked team in the nation would cause the UA swim team to work even harder or put more emphasis on the match-up, that isn’t the case.

“It’s a way to gain confidence and learn about racing, but we are not putting anything extra into it,” said senior co-captain Jordan Smith.

This weekend’s meet isn’t going to make or break the team’s season. The Wildcats have their eyes set on a greater goal: A national championship.

“Win and loss records aren’t important like in other sports, it’s all about time scores and we have met about 90-95 percent of our standards already,” said head coach Frank Busch.

Just because the majority of UA swimmers and divers have already qualified for nationals, don’t expect them to look past Texas.

“When you get a chance to race against great talent — out of sheer pride, we want to try and beat them,”

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Members of the No. 3 UA men’s swim and dive team run around an Eller College classroom in Speedos with hopes of gaining support for this weekend’s dual meet against No. 1 Texas. The No. 2 women’s team will take on the No. 3 Longhorns on Saturday.

Busch said.

This weekend’s meet also marks Senior Day for the 17 seniors on the men’s and women’s teams.

The fact that Senior Day comes on the same day as such a competitive meet isn’t lost on seniors like Smith.

“It’s nice that it falls on a big meet,”he said.“It really adds to the excitement.”

These seniors will go down in the UA history books as swim’s largest

senior class and perhaps its most successful, having already won a national championship.

“These are very good athletes, and 90 percent of them have performed at the highest level at the NCAAs,”Busch said. “No other class has done what they have.”

While the seniors still realize they have a lot of work left to do to finish their college careers on a high note,

they also are looking back on their time at UA. “I’ve learned so much and grown so much in and out of the pool. I’m proud to have been a part of this program,” Smith said.

The seniors’ quest to finish their home career with a win begins Friday at 2 p.m. at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center and concludes on Saturday at 12 p.m.

BUSINESS STUDENTS GET LESSON IN MARKETING

Class wasn’t any different than usual for a large group of Eller students on Thursday, at least at first. The class started with a few presentations about ethics and business etiquette workshops. Once those presentations were over, the party started.

Suddenly, clothes were strewn all over the front of the auditorium, and 11 men were running around in Speedos.

No, the Berger Auditorium in McClelland Hall hadn’t turned into the Playboy Mansion, but rather it had been invaded by the UA men’s swimming team.

The team was in the classroom in hopes of garnering some more support for the swim and dive program as they prepare for a meet this weekend against top-ranked Texas.

After a short presentation on UA swimming, there was a slight delay as the swimmers

looked around at each other, bracing for what they were about to do.

The swimmers then abruptly tore off their shirts and sweats, causing excitement among the female students but leaving the male students and this reporter with only a feeling of self-consciousness.

As the whole class cheered loudly, the team took a run around the auditorium.

Senior co-captain Jordan Smith encouraged fans to come out for the meet.

“Come with your Arizona gear and get as loud as you want,” he said.

After the class presentation on Thursday, it sure looks like the team will, at least, have a lot of new female supporters this weekend.

Gymcats open at home

Arizona welcomes Golden Bears to the desert

By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona gymnastics team had an unforgettable win last week against ASU in Tempe and hope to use that momentum for the rest of the season.

The No. 20 Gymcats will face off against the California Golden Bears Friday, Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. in the McKale Center.

It will be the first home meet for the Gymcats (1-2), who are excited to perform in front of the home crowd. The Golden Bears (0-2) are still looking for their first win of the season.

“We know that we can compete with anybody, but we also know that if we don’t take care of our own business, we won’t compete with anybody,” said head coach Bill Ryden.“So we just don’t want to beat ourselves. You’re only as good as your last competition, so after (tomorrow)

ASU will be totally gone.”

Graham said. “I can’t even explain Look forward is the only thing how hard it was (not being able to the team can do when it hosts the participate). I was so disappointed, Golden Bears. but I still believed in the team. Just sat “You move on,” said assistant coach at home, I couldn’t watch online, but Colleen Johnson. “With a I watch the scores.” meet every Friday night, you Last year, Matusik comget excited about it, you relpeted beam at all 13 meets ish in the moment, and the as a freshman but has been unable to compete this year next day it’s back to business.

“I’m feeling so good, so excited last year, so you just combine that to be back training. It was really with already good beam workers, and hard watching the team compete,” we’re just going to get better.”

Cycling club hosts Haiti race

Men, women’s teams both nationally ranked

By Galo Mejia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT With the new NCAA track and field rankings out this week, Arizona is proving to the nation that they can run with the best. The women occupy the No. 17 spot and the men are ranked No. 20.

Both teams will look to improve those rankings this weekend as the distance squad heads north to Seattle, Wash., and the sprinters, jumpers and throwers return to Albuquerque, N.M., for the second time in a week after competing in the Cherry and Silver Invitational on Jan 23.

“The people that we take to our indoor meets are only people that we feel have an opportunity to score at our indoor conference championships,” said head coach Fred Harvey.

In Seattle, Wash., the distance squad will have to deal with the teams from California, University of Washington and Brigham Young

University, along with a couple hundred other athletes. The rest of the teams will take on LSU, Texas Tech and a few other schools.

This will be the distance squad’s second meet of the year and Seattle could be the best place for it.

“The facility is maybe 10 feet above sea level,” said distance coach James Li . “Altitude will be to our advantage.”

About 15 distance runners will be representing Arizona, including sophomore Abdi Hassan. Last week Hassan won the men’s 800-meter run and qualified provisionally for the NCAA National Championship.

This weekend, Hassan will be running the mile instead of the 800-meter.

“The mile was my main race last year,”Hassan said.“So this meet is like a test of where we’re at physically.”

A handful of freshmen are still learning the ropes, as they are set to compete in only their second collegiate race.

“I was a little nervous, but I’m

kind of used to it,” said freshman Kevin Jani of racing at the collegiate level. “I went to a lot of big meets in high school.”

The rest of the team will head back to Albuquerque to take on some of the top schools in the nation. Even though the competition will be strong, Francesca Green feels her sprinters will do well.

“Our women’s (4X400m relay) is running exceptionally well,” said Green. “We’re hoping to go to Albuquerque and see if we get a provisional mark.”

The women’s 4X400m will consist of juniors Deanna Sullivan (redshirt) and Echos Blevins along with sophomores Georganne Moline and Andrea Menhennet.

Although the teams will be broken up, the athletes feel refreshed and confident about the upcoming competition.

“I feel pretty good since we got some rest this week,” said sophomore sprinter Chris McSwain. “I’m excited that we’re not going in as sore.”

Tennis to be tested in weekend matches

By Nathan Comerford ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The men’s and women’s tennis teams started their respective seasons out strong last weekend, with the women posting convincing wins against California, Santa Barbara and University of California, Davis. The men also rolled to a 7-0 victory against Montana State University.

However, both teams can’t bask in their glory for too long, as they have work to do.

Yesterday, the No. 23 men’s team traveled to Tuscaloosa, Ala., in preparation for the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Indoor Tournament. As reflected in the name, the UA teams will be facing top-notch competition this weekend.

Saturday, the Wildcats will square off against No. 25 Alabama (0-1) — the same program that current Arizona men’s head coach Tad Berkowitz once led to the NCAA Championships.

Because this is a regional matchup, the Wildcats’ bracket not only contains No. 25 Alabama but also No. 18 Duke (1-0) and No. 22 Auburn (0-0).

The Wildcats come into Tuscaloosa ranked a spot higher than their preseason ranking.

“We’re a team that can go in there and come out on top,” Berkowitz said. “These are good teams, so we’ll have to play our best, but we have the guys, the ability, and I think we can win out there.”

After the match with Alabama, Arizona will face off against either Duke or Auburn on Sunday depending on who wins or loses. If two wins go the Wildcats’ way, then they will compete in the 16-team Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Indoor

added. She mentioned that it UA Cycling Club can set up a lead out for one of them to sprint to the finish, they’llhave a good chance to win.

“The race will come down to the finish,” she said.

Aside from the competition, the UA cycling club is looking to help those in need.

At 1 p.m., the UA Cycling Club will be hosting the Haiti Ride, which will benefit those suffering in Haiti. Both racers and spectators are invited to to cruise around the UA Criterium. Entry is only $10, and Partners in Health will receive all the proceeds.

“We talked about putting a cruiser ride on for a while,” Andrews said. “Cycling can get intense with the training and wanting to win. When the disaster in Haiti happened, we (were driven) to make sure we got the cruiser ride going. We wanted it to go to a good cause.”

Added Forsman: “It’s a great opportunity to give back.”

The UA Cycling Club is hosting New Mexico, NAU and ASU this Saturday at the fourth annual UA Criterium, which is sponsored by Fair Wheel Bikes. It is the first cycling race of the season.

Last year, the UA Cycling Club won the Southwest Collegiate Cycling Conference and placed fourth overall at the Collegiate Road Nationals, finishing the cycling season ranked ninth in the nation for all cycling fields, which included road, mountain and cyclocross. This year’s team is looking to build upon last year’s success and to gain visibility.

“We have one of the best collegiate teams in the country,” said sophomore public health major Chloe Forsman , a threetime collegiate mountain bike national winner. “We are the most competitive team in our conference and are one of the most competitive

teams nationwide. A lot of the motivation for the (UA Criterium) is to give the club visibility and the sport visibility in Tucson.”

Over 200 participants, both collegiate and non-collegiate, are expected to race.

“There will be a lot of action,” said sophomore engineering major Jack Andrews, who will be racing for the first time as a member of the UA Cycling Club. “I want to do well. I’ve put in about 3,000 miles in the past four months.”

The collegiate racing begins at 2 p.m., but the non-collegiate racing starts at 9 a.m. The course, over a mile in length, includes a false flat and six turns. The start/finish line is located at the Warren Avenue and First Street intersection of the UA campus.

“There is a great opportunity on the false flat,” Forsman said. “There is enough of a rise there to make a difference. That is probably where the attacks will happen.”

“The race is pretty tactical,”Forsman

Championships, which will take place in the middle of February.

“It’s an interesting test because we proved last year we could hang with the big boys. Now, it’s an interesting challenge to see if we can step up and take them down,”Berkowitz said.“I couldn’t think of anything better than to play this tournament now and get right in the fire.”

The women, on the other hand, will be staying home and hosting NAU (1-0) at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center on Saturday. In NAU’s only match this year, they faced UC Santa Barbara and won with a team score of 4-3.

“Even though I feel the match with NAU should go our way this weekend, I’m certainly not overlooking them,” said head coach Vicky Maes in an e-mail. “We have had the upper hand in past years but, traditionally, they are a program that fights until the very end and we need to be prepared for that.”

The biggest question for the Wildcats is the status of sophomore Natasha Marks’ sprained ankle that she suffered from in her first match last weekend. While things are looking promising, they are treating her as a game-time decision. If she will not be able to compete, fellow sophomore Sarah Landsman will take her spot in the No. 1 singles position, as she did last week.

Maes also commented how confident the girls seem after their two wins starting the season last weekend and she hopes that the momentum will carry over to their upcoming match.

“It’s in our players’ hands,” she said. “I was very pleased with their focus and competitiveness last week and, as a coach, you hope to see them carry that to a higher level as the weeks go by.”

Heading into this weekend’s two-game series against ASU in Tempe, the Arizona Icecats have almost everything stacked against them.

Consider this: the Icecats haven’t been able to practice all week because of the lack of ice time at the Tucson Convention Center, ASU (21-6-3) is the No. 8 team in the American Collegiate Hockey Association and the Sun Devils will be at home in the Oceanside Ice Rink.

The Icecats (10-12) have dropped the first four games of the season to ASU. But to an Icecats team thirsting for a win against the maroon and gold, none of that matters.

326-7812

“We’re just really hungry for a win against them,” said junior forward Jordan Schupan. “We can’t make any excuse that we don’t have practice.

Since we don’t have a choice, we’re just going to have to deal with it.”

The Icecats have missed valuable practice time because of the Gem and Mineral show for each of the past three seasons. The majority of the players stay fresh with lifting and cardio workouts, but none of that is a substitute for time on the ice.

“The hard part is keeping the confidence in your stick-handling and shot — the confidence you have with the puck when you’re not skating, it’s a lot harder,” Schupan said. “You could do as much lifting and cardio as you want, but there’s ICECATS, page 10

And Arizona did just that.

Fogg hit a floating hook with about the Wildcats on a 14-4 run, earning four assists on three minutes to go to give his team a double-digit, four consecutive plays.

in the first half, the Wildcat offense fell cold in the second half. The team shot just 33 percent which allowed the Bears to slowly build a comfortable lead.

Cal continued to take advantage of secondchance opportunities, scoring nine points off of offensive boards, and went on a 15-3 run that spanned just under seven minutes in the second half to establish a 51-38 lead with 12:03 to play.

Junior Ify Ibekwe notched her near-nightly double-double by finishing with 21 points and 12 rebounds, but her play was not enough to forge a comeback against Cal. After winning two in a row against the Oregon schools, the Wildcats gave two games right back and find themselves in a tough position. They will have to try and regroup against one of the country’s most talented teams in Palo Alto, Calif.

and team accomplishments. After losing in the NCAA Championship game last season, the Cardinal remain one of the dominant forces in the game and feature a duo of players unmatched in the Pac-10.

Stanford senior Jayne Appel and junior Kayla Pedersen were named to a midseason watch list of 20 candidates who are up for one of the game’s most prestigious honors, the John R. Wooden Award.

“You have to play a near-perfect game to beat (Stanford),” said sophomore Reiko Thomas.

Although the Cardinal boast a laundry list of accomplishments, the last time these two teams met in Palo Alto the game went down to the wire as Stanford held on to beat Arizona 70-67.

“It should be a good game,” said Thomas of Saturday’s game. “Last year we went there and lost by three when (Stanford) was still No. 2, so anything can happen.”

First place at stake on Sunday

coaches, these marquee conference games against Bay Area teams always drew sellouts and high energy to match the high level of competition.

Now with the stability of Sean Miller and his foundation of freshmen, nobody worries about off-court outliers — just first place.

Tipoff against California is Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

“We’re aware of it, but we just have to stay true to what has helped our team,” Miller said.“Everyone you could tell is trying to do what we’re asking. I’m glad it led to a victory. It’s exciting to be able to play (for first place). I’d rather be saying that than the alternative.”

Added UA point guard Nic Wise: “We feed off their energy. Even though we play better on the road than in the past, the crowd just gives us that extra strength and energy to fight even though we’re down.”

Stanford’s Jeremy Green walked off the court with his hands over his face in a show of anguish as the crowd held their hands in the air.

The Wildcats — now riding a season-high three-game winning streak — survived through an abysmal 21-for-64 from the floor (32.8 percent) and the Cardinal’s conference-leading tandem of Green and Fields.

“We held (Green and Fields) to 56 (points),” Miller said, prompting a

laugh for using the word “held.”

Green and Fields torched the Wildcats from all over the court with hands in their faces and doubledowns on defense.

Expect a similar single-man performance on Sunday. California’s senior guard Jerome Randle, regarded as one of the best shooters in the nation, has a similarly unlimited range on the floor.

Randle hit 39 points earlier this season against Washington State and averages almost 19 per game.

Wise and Randle are friends — except when the shot clock runs.

Especially with first place on the line.

“We’re cool, but it’s just a competitive nature,”Wise said.“When you’re on the court, you just forget about that and want to win.”

So where does Saturday’s win rank in Wise’s career against the Cardinal?

“It’s up there,”Wise said.

“Considering what the team we have the young team. This game was to push us ahead of them in second in the Pac. We have a big game coming up to decide if we’re in first place or not.

“We’re over the jump halfway through the season already.”

Feels like things are just getting started.

Icecats junior forward Jordan Schupan controls the puck during Saturday’s win against UNLV in the Tucson Convention Center. The Icecats will carry that momentum into Tempe this weekend in hopes of avoiding their third sweep of the season at the hands of the Sun Devils.

ICECATS continued from page 8

Icecats hope to avoid 0-6 vs. ASU

some on-ice things that you can’t really replicate off of the ice.”

These types of situations are out of the team’s control. The only thing on the the UA club hockey team’s mind is avenging the first four games of the season between these two squads.

The Icecats have beaten ASU fairly easily in previous years, but, this season, the Sun Devils have turned the tide. ASU shut out the Icecats in UA’s first game of the season, but five key Icecat players were out with injuries.

The Icecats played a tight second game without six of their players but ultimately lost 6-4. The mid-December series in Tucson felt very similar to the first. ASU won convincingly in game

one (7-1) and just squeaked by the Icecats in game two (6-4).

“Those games didn’t give a true measure of what our team was out of the shoot,” head coach Leo Golembiewski said of the team’s first series against ASU. “As far as in December, we had played pretty well up until those. It was an issue of not playing as well defensively as we can and not getting the goaltending we needed.”

Freshman goaltender David Herman will be huge for the Icecats this weekend. He will need to set the tone early by keeping things tight if the Icecats hope to have any chance.

“I think he’s the key to beating ASU,”

said associate coach Dave Dougall.

“Our success is going to emanate out of the nets,” Golembiewski added. “We have to get solid goaltending.”

The Icecats should have some confidence after playing their most complete game in weeks in a 6-3 win against University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Along with that confidence comes a sense of pride in not allowing ASU to take another step towards a season sweep.

“We do not want to let them sweep us because that just gives them bragging rights,” said sophomore defenseman Geordy Weed.“The best we can do is work hard and try and get that win that everyone’s striving for.”

Tucsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting wet

By Laura Donovan Arizona Daily Wildcat

National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter had never seen an umbrella until Thursday, the peak of Tucsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent heavy rainfall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is probably going to rank as the eighth wettest January of all time,â&#x20AC;?said National Weather Service lead forecaster John Glueck. Â As of 11 a.m. Thursday, Tucson International Airport received 0.18 inches of rain since Wednesday, he said. Â The UA campus received roughly the same rainfall as the Tucson International Airport. Â There were no reported road closures or floods, the National Weather Service said. Â Psychology senior Carolyn Parston

expressed appreciation for the rainy weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see Tucson have a change in temperature every once in a while,â&#x20AC;? Parston said. Brian Lee, a South Korean exchange student, did not expect this kind of weather when he arrived in Tucson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got here a month ago. This is the desert, yet it has been raining so much. The cold is a surprise for me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different than what I expected. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring my winter clothes with me,â&#x20AC;? Lee said.

The weather should be pushing 70 degrees by Sunday, Turner said. Â There has been no reported snowfall in Tucson this week.

Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain is likely the last of the El NiĂąo storm until Feb. 4, when the weather is predicted to change again, Turner said.

Water floods the UA Mall on Thursday after the eighth-largest January rainstorm to hit Tucson.
