UA club creates ‘bones’ to highlight genocides By Stewart McClintic DAILY WILDCAT
The bones being made on the UA Mall on Wednesday only represented a small portion of UA STAND’s larger cause. UA’s STAND chapter of the United to End Genocide group, was on the UA Mall yesterday raising awareness about genocide by making paper mache bones. STAND teamed up with One Million Bones last year. One Million Bones is a project aiming to put bones on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in 2013 as a statement to the govern-
ment to be more proactive in helping end genocide around the world. Aeen Asghar, a biochemistry senior and president of the UA STAND club, said the group is trying to raise money for the many projects that the club supports which include funding for clean water and service at refugee camps. Sonia Sen, a computer sci-
ence sophomore and treasurer of the club, said that although it is not charging money to make the bones, other chapters are and that the goal is to raise $5 million for the bones. She said it would normally charge $5 per bone but organizers were afraid no one would participate if there were a fee because of the college setting. So instead STAND decided to leave a donation box at the booth on the Mall and hope to raise as much as possible. She said the purpose of the project is to use art as a means to engage people to be aware of genocide in the world. “We are here fighting for humanity,” she said. Tiffany Lee, a sophomore studying physiology and creative writing who is the secretary for UA STAND, said the project is only one of the club’s many projects. She said the club’s goal is to

UA President Eugene Sander addressed several topics concerning the university’s future during a question-and-answer session on Wednesday afternoon. Sander held a campus forum in the Student Union Memorial Center’s Gallagher Theater. Sander was asked early on if any faculty representatives were being
included in the presidential search committee. Several attendees had expressed concerns about the lack of faculty representation within the committee, and that it could be a “problem” if more faculty members weren’t asked to join. Sander, as well as other attendees, commented that the committee has been taking steps to include as much of the faculty as possible in the search for the next university president.

put pressure on the government to act on genocide worldwide. Sen said that, although there are many genocides going on in the world including in Syria, Libya and Burma, the primary focus for the One Million Bones project is the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lee said the group’s other projects include Invisible Children and Conflict-Free Campus Initiative where it brings awareness to the treatment of miners in other countries who provide some of the natural resources and minerals used in everyday life.
Another issue raised was Sander’s goals for the next year as the university’s president. After making a point to clearly state that as interim president he would not be sticking around for “the next five years,” Sander said he did have several expectations about the university. Pointing out the UA’s “nationallyranked” status, Sander explained

President Sander answers questions on presidential search, goals for UA By Kyle Mittan
PHOENIX — The UA College of Medicine in Phoenix is waiting for approval to conduct a study that will determine whether marijuana can be used as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. The study is led by Dr. Suzanne A. Sisley, assistant director of interprofessional education and assistant professor of internal medicine and psychiatry, and will employ a two-stage process to analyze how different doses of marijuana will affect the symptoms of PTSD. The hypothesis is that symptoms will ease as the dosage increases. The study is focused on soldiers returning from combat with PTSD, but there have been discussions to expand the criteria to people who have suffered from military sexual trauma. With the study, Sisley is hoping to open new doors in the world of medicinal marijuana.
“We want to make sure that the terminally ill have access to marijuana as a medicine,” Sisley said at a presentation in Phoenix on Tuesday. She also said that she has heard numerous reports of marijuana successfully treating PTSD, which is how she became interested in the study. Funding, all from private entities, will begin once the approval process has been completed. “We don’t want any funding from the government or through any taxes,” Sisley said. As with most studies involving illegal substances, the project has already encountered several legal and political roadblocks. While the Food and Drug Administration has approved the study, it still has yet to receive approval from the Drug Enforcement Administration and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This has kept the study in its planning stages since Nov. 12, and

An example of medical apps helping students where print textbooks can’t is after students work with dead bodies in the cadaver lab. “Outside of the cadaver lab, students need to study and two dimensional textbooks are very limited,” he said. “With 3D apps you can look at the cadaver from different angles, spin and label it.” Interactivity between students and their curriculum is the key to revolutionizing the classroom, Moynahan added.

Architecture students draft plans for Tucson

Beth Johannessen, a landscape architecture graduate student, discusses her contribution as part of a team that worked with professionals last week to create designs for the Tucson Gateway to Downtown at the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.
By Savannah Martin DAILY WILDCAT
UA architecture students are building upon their education by planning Tucson’s potential future. Students from every discipline at the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture worked alongside professionals from prominent design firms to envision the new downtown Tucson in a fast-paced exchange of ideas and solutions last week. The two-day event, called Xtreme LA (Landscape Architecture), challenged 16 students and 18 professionals to devise plans for Tucson’s Gateway to Downtown that would create enjoyable public places, promote multiple modes of transportation and bring unity to the area. Landscape Forms and the Landscape Architecture Foundation sponsored the project. After breaking into two teams, the landscape architects engaged in a highpressure brainstorming session, called a charrette. The teams tackled issues surrounding the Tucson Convention Center, the Cushing Street Bridge, the modern streetcar and the historic neighborhoods of the downtown area. “We took existing infrastructure and gave it new meaning,” said Beth Johannessen, a landscape architecture graduate student.

that the level of respect for the university itself, as well as its students, faculty, and staff are all vital to keeping the university’s prestige, and also mentioned the importance of keeping a “unified front and pride in our institution.” Another question that arose during the forum was in regards to the workload of the doctoral program, and whether anything would be done to decrease the
According to Lauri M. Johnson, director of the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning, one of the central ideas behind the charrette was the connectivity of the downtown area. This meant designing a downtown that would allow for alternative modes of transportation and provide spaces that encourage social interaction. Another area of focus, Johnson said, was finding ways to make beautiful, comfortable spaces in the midst of Tucson’s harsh environment. For the students, one goal was to come up with ideas that challenge Tucson to think unconventionally about the downtown design, said Brandon Herman, a dual master’s student at the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning. “It’s nice to get community leaders thinking outside their bubble,” he said. Herman said his team designed mobile shade structures called “solar sails” that can be moved and adjusted to provide shade in different situations. The students worked with young professionals from firms such as the HOK Planning Group, Ten Eyck Landscape Architects, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and Office of James Burnett. There were several benefits of integrating local students with outside
professionals, said Lee Streitz, a landscape architecture graduate student in the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning. The architects from the professional firms contributed fresh perspectives, while the students provided historical and cultural knowledge of the area. “I’m most proud of our team for respecting the context of Tucson,” he said. Additionally, the students were able to make connections in firms they may want to work with in the future. Although Johnson said many of the students were worried that they may not have the skills to work side by side with experienced professionals, many of them proved that they deserved to be there. “The best thing I realized is that we are capable as students,” Streitz said. “I realized how well prepared we are.” Students gave a public final presentation to local officials. Johannessen said participating in the project was not only an honor, but an opportunity to use landscape architecture to improve the lives of people working and living in Tucson. “We can make a change in our communities,” she said. It’s up to the city to approve the plans, Streitz said, noting that there have been more than 93 plans for the downtown area that have not come to fruition.
workload for students working toward a doctorate. Sander responded by saying that the process of getting a doctorate is difficult “but worth it,” and that there were no plans to ease the process of pursuing a doctorate degree. Attendees also asked Sander about plans to accommodate the growth of students attending graduate school. Sander said using resources in technology, including online classes, is one way to assist with the growing number of students pursuing graduate degrees. Sander added that while he
had done things the “more classical way,” today’s college generation is very familiar with technology, making it an obvious solution. Sander will host two more campus forums, one from noon to 1 p.m. also in Gallagher Theater on Nov. 16, and the final one on Dec. 8 from noon to 1 p.m. in DuVal Auditorium in the University of Arizona Medical Center—University Campus. For those unable to make it to the actual meetings, Arizona Public Media will broadcast the events live on its website at www.azpm.org/news.

is the last piece of clearance Sisley and her team must obtain before conducting the investigation. While medicinal marijuana has plenty of government opposition, there is some support for this study in particular. “We need to fulfill the desire to use this mainstream medicine,” said Valerie Miranda, a nonpracticing medical doctor from Phoenix. “Studies have shown that it can treat numerous illnesses, but it’s just not being used because of political reasons.” Kendric Speagle, the chief development officer for Compassion First, LLC, a company that provides products and services to medical marijuana dispensaries in Arizona, is advocating for the push to make marijuana a legal option for the mentally ill.
“There is no mental health qualification in Arizona,” Speagle said. “We want the state to add mental health to its qualifying conditions so that people suffering from disorders like PTSD can get treatment with medical marijuana.” Sisley said that overall, she would like to see the study help in the advancement toward the decriminalization of marijuana, as well as wider use of marijuana as a medicine. “I think that science has been shackled by politics,” she said. “I think that using marijuana medically is in the public interest, and it’s up to us to apply the pressure.” Six to 10 percent of the American population suffers from PTSD, and it is predicted that 18 percent of soldiers returning from Iraq will also have the disorder, Sisley said.

instead of the iPad, said she studies better with paper and that many students will use the tablets for Facebook instead of learning. “School isn’t about all the shiny toys you can accumulate, it’s about how best you study,” she said. “A free iPad is cool, but for me personally, I know it wouldn’t help.” IAnnotate was the only application that came on the iPad, said Michael Griffith, associate director of biomedical communications and project leader. The app allows users to read, annotate, and share PDF files. Many of the apps students need are free and more may be bought for students as the project is evaluated, he added. Paul Saladino, one of the 107 medical students who chose the iPad, said it’s the only thing he brings to class. It makes note taking more effective and it’s easier than carrying “reams and reams” of papers, he said. Other than not being able to use Flash Player on his iPad, Saladino said the tablet has no major drawbacks. “We’re not wedded to the iPad,” Moynahan said. “We’re looking at the tablet as a medium. The iPad seemed to suit our needs the best. It has the most support and the most medical applications available.” Through focus groups and surveys, Griffith said they will evaluate the iPad’s drawbacks, benefits and how useful they are. Assuming research supports the benefits, the project will continue next year.
The College of Medicine budgeted $90,000 for the project’s first year and $77,000 has been used so far, Griffith said. Saving money over time by reducing printing costs and helping the environment by cutting out paper from the curriculum are added benefits, but are not the main goals of the project, he added. Griffith agreed with Moynahan and said that as students become more accustomed to technology in the classroom, the College of Medicine will be able to display the curriculum in a completely digital format. Eventually, students will look around the classroom and won’t see any paper. “They won’t want that option anymore,” Griffith added. Aqib Zehri, a UA alumnus, took this year off after graduating to volunteer and intern. He said he applied to the UA’s medical school, and if he’s accepted and given the option, he’d choose digital over printed resources. “It makes sense because everything is becoming paperless in hospitals,” Zehri said. Griffith said medical students need to be prepared for the electronic records they’ll be using as doctors and should take advantage of technology to learn more efficiently. “We’re trying to make the best doctors we can for Arizona,” Griffith said. “Everything that we’re doing is intended to make our students better doctors, not iPad experts.”

riority registration is right around the corner; correspondingly, full-blown anxiety attacks are too. Student advising appointments are only a subtle reminder of our few remaining semesters on campus. In the present times of such economic struggle, the stress of the uncertain future is much stronger in students than October midterm anxiety. Results from a 2011 CollegeGrad.com survey show that your major or degree is the most important factor involved in post-graduation hiring. Additionally, grade point average plays only a 3 percent role in hiring decisions. The survey states that your major plays a 34 percent role in your likelihood of hire, while internships are at 24 percent and your communication skills are next in line. Looking at the facts, it is hard to determine whether we are wasting time in the library raising those daunting GPAs or if we screwed up by picking a major that actually meets our interests. Fear not though, there’s hope on the horizon for most of you even in trying times. The students who chose majors such as business administration, information systems or finance will be the ones hired into full-time jobs that will bore them to death with number crunching. However, there are some ways that other students can get creative after graduation with less limiting degrees. Some majors, like elementary education and pre-medicine, have internship requirements for graduation. Required or not, internships are nothing but beneficial to any college student. Before or after graduating, internships go hand-in-hand with a part-time job at Starbucks, or any other type of waged position. For the students that chose majors with less promising entry-level jobs, there are many unopened doors in the job-market corridor. The top employer of entry-level grads in 2011 is Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Ever thought of a position in car rental? If it pays the bills with full-time hours, taking a job that has no correlation with a college major might actually be a wise choice considering the rough economic times. Then there’s always continuing your education. Graduate school, although expensive, guarantees at least an extra nine months of academic shelter. Although rumors are circulating that graduate school students have no greater financial promises than undergraduates, it is a more comfortable future than moving back into the old room at Mom and Dad’s house. Ultimately though, the 2011 survey results are not meant to make students regret studying interesting majors or shatter their dreams of exciting careers. It is more of a reality check. It is fair to assume that not every student has their future mapped out, much less an actual game plan. Sitting in the advising offices hearing that you only 15 units to graduate is possibly the most fearful, and at the same time relieving, situation to a UA upperclassmen. However, the anxiety does not accomplish anything and only leaves students pondering their direction in life in a library study room. When overwhelming thoughts of the future begin to fill up your brain capacity otherwise reserved for midterm study guides, remember that the professionals at CollegeGrad.com say it’s not necessarily how high your grades were, but what you studied and how you applied it. — Caroline Nachazel is a junior studying jounalism and communication.

Besides the fairly regular communication flaws and the consequences that come attached with the errors, academic advisers have to the potential to be incredibly helpful. While I will admit that they aren’t going to hold your hand and give you crystal clear instructions such as a high school counselor would, they are equipped with advantageous resources that can vitalize your academic career at the UA. Students need to recognize the line that separates a helpful and a bad adviser. Just because an adviser doesn’t completely compile your class schedule for you and give you extremely specific details does not formulate them to be horrendous. Ultimately, advisers are expected to be there for students as a support system and to have a certain amount of knowledge about your major and the career path you’re interested in. With that being said, it truly is the student’s responsibility to get their act together and figure out the classes and criteria they need. The advising systems vary from school to school, and some are more organized and complex than others—for example, Eller requires a “Freshman Follow-up” for their pre-business students, while many departments don’t even require meetings per semester. Advisers hand out the basics, answer the questions, and share support, but it is ultimately up to the student to reach out for resources.

You wouldn’t step into a new country and traverse without a map and travel guide, would you? The UA codes and academic rules are numerous and confusing, and advisers can lead you through them, tailoring the information to your specific needs. What does it take to make a class pass/ fail? There are a lot of special rules and exceptions. Even if you find and read them all, an adviser can interpret them to your situation. They’re also great when the university changes a rule that affects your graduation. They aren’t just a necessary step toward graduation, advisers are a great way to make sure you’re on track throughout college so you don’t arrive at your senior year and find out your 27 units don’t count for anything. While making appointments, waiting in line and meeting one-on-one might sound unnecessarily tedious to people, they’re forgetting that the advice in there is invaluable.

UA respect for free speech lacking compared to peers
Among the three major public universities in Arizona — Arizona State, Northern Arizona and the University of Arizona — each claims superiority in a number of respects. But when it comes to evaluating these schools in terms of their respect for students’ First Amendment rights, the choice is relatively easy. Currently, ASU is the only school that promotes freedom of speech as an integral part of the educational experience. Earlier this year, ASU eliminated its last remaining speech code, giving it a “green light” rating (meaning it has no restrictions on free speech) from the Foundation for

Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), a nonprofit that defends student and faculty individual rights at campuses nationwide. In fact, FIRE ranked ASU in the Huffington Post as one of the best universities in the country for freedom of speech, an honor it shared with only six other schools. The U of A, conversely, maintains two unconstitutional speech codes: a Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy and a Policy and Regulations Governing the Use of Campus. The first policy states that harassing conduct includes “verbal acts and name calling,” even
though this is protected speech. Not only is this policy constitutionally suspicious at first appearance, it is vague and gives the university unencumbered discretion, because “verbal acts” means virtually any speech. The U.S. Supreme Court, in Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education, made clear that conduct must be so “severe, pervasive and objectively offensive” that it denies the victim equal access to educational opportunities or benefits, to count as peer harassment. The second policy requires 24-hour notice for any gathering expected to include 25 or
more people or “advertised by any medium.” This impedes students’ right to engage in campus protests, demonstrations and other spontaneous gatherings with expressive purposes. Spontaneous speech is necessary for the free exchange of ideas, as often students will not know ahead of time that they will be reacting to immediate or still-unfolding events. Ultimately, the U of A administration needs to begin revising these two polices so that it does not stifle the same academic excellence that it so vigorously encourages. -Jonathan Messing

POLICE BEAT By Rebecca Rillos DAILY WILDCAT
Police shut down “shake” A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol near University Boulevard and Park Avenue around 2 p.m. on Monday when he noticed a woman wearing inline skates lying on the sidewalk. She appeared to have fallen and her belongings were spread out near around her. The officer approached the woman, who told him she had not fallen, but she had back and medical problems and was waiting for a service cart to pick her up. The officer smelled marijuana coming from the woman. He told her he could smell it and asked if she had any drugs or paraphernalia with her. The woman became very nervous and told the officer about her medical issues, schooling and plans for the future. He pointed out that she had not answered his question and asked if she would consent to a search of her purse. The woman removed the items from her purse and placed them on the ground, including a purple plastic container. Inside the container was a pipe and a few pieces of “shake” marijuana. The pipe had burnt marijuana in the bowl. The woman was cited and released on charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Can you hear me now? A UAPD officer spoke with an employee who reported that several microphones had been stolen from University Information Technology Services. The employee said four handheld microphones had been stolen from Room 140 of 1500 E. University Blvd. between Sept. 30 and Oct. 10. The microphones are valued at $300 each. A victim’s rights form was mailed to the UA. There are no suspects at this time.
Swiped iPad A UAPD officer met with a woman in the Main Library who reported that her iPad had been stolen from Maricopa Residence Hall on Monday. The woman said she had been cleaning her purse between 5:45 and 6 p.m. in the alley between Maricopa and Second Street. She said believed she left her iPad on the ground. She went back to search for it but it was gone. The woman provided the officer with the iPad’s serial number. There are no witnesses or suspects at this time.
Bamboozled bicycle A UAPD officer met with a woman who reported her bike had been stolen from the racks outside of Centennial Hall on Monday. The woman said she had last seen her bike when she locked it to the racks with a cable lock through the frame and front tire. When she returned from class an hour later, the bike and lock were gone. The woman said she would call UAPD with the serial number for her bike and that the bike is registered with Parking and Transportation Services. The woman said she wished to participate in judicial hearings if her bike is recovered. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Parrom ‘composed’ as he rehabs injury By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat
Kevin Parrom limped around Richard Jefferson Gymnasium with white bandages wrapped around his left hand and a bracelet that read “HOPE” around his right. His gray UA sweatpants concealed bullet wounds from the gun of Jason Gonzalez, and his stoic face hid the emotion running through the 20-year-old junior as his mother continues to battle breast cancer. “I’m tired. I’m just tired,” Parrom said. “I can’t really explain what I’m feeling right now.” Rightfully so. While his teammates fielded playful inquiries about their summer accomplishments and goals for the season at Wednesday’s media day, Parrom talked about being “happy to be alive.” The 6-foot-6 small forward has been on an emotional roller coaster since heading back home in late September, and it’s unclear when and how it’s going to end. In the past few months, Parrom has lost his grandmother, been shot in the leg, was grazed by a bullet on his left hand, and seen his mother in the hospital critical condition. “It’s tough to handle,” Parrom said. Parrom’s mother, Lisa Williams, continues to fight a two-year bout with breast cancer and “remains very critically ill,” according to UA head coach Sean Miller. While Parrom constantly ponders the health of his mother, he also wonders when he’ll be healthy enough to join his teammates on the court. But even with no set return date and no certainty of his mother’s survival, the Bronx, New York native remains positive. “I’ve been through everything. My mother’s my motivation,” Parrom said. “That’s how I’m staying composed. I lost my

I’ll get through this.” Parrom went to visit his mother last month and was shot by Gonzalez, who is being charged with attempted murder, at his father’s apartment after midnight on Sept. 24. But Parrom returned home to his second family in Tucson two days later, a testament to the belief Parrom’s family
has in Miller’s program. “The fact that he was able to get back here to Tucson as quick as he did had no bearing on his health, it had a lot more to do with his family’s faith in what we do here,” Miller said. “When Kevin’s surrounded by his teammates and coaches, he’s able to get to class, be around the students at Arizona, be surrounded by the community.

• At Arizona men’s basketball media day on Wednesday, head coach Sean Miller said he has some concerns about the Wildcats’ tough schedule, which includes games away from Tucson against St. John’s,Florida, Gonzaga and New Mexico State before Pac-12 Conference play begins. “To me, we’re really pushing the envelope in terms of tough games,” Miller said. “Now what you have is a young team. We’re going to get better because we challenge ourselves.” All four incoming freshmen — Josiah Turner, Sidiki Johnson, Nick Johnson and Angelo Chol — have been impressive and have shown a strong work ethic so far in workouts. Miller said the best thing about the group is that “they love the game of basketball,” and “each one of the wants to be a good player individually.” Miller also said the newcomers
haven’t hesitated in taking the advice of older players. • Junior forward Solomon Hill said he sees some similarities between his class and the group of freshmen coming in this season. “They’re kind of spread out, you’ve got a one, a two, a four,” Hill said. “Those guys are really ready to play. They probably won’t see as significant a role as we did in my first year, but to add those pieces, it’s a great deal of what we’re going to do.” • Hill also said the nine-game stretch to end the 2010 season — home games against the Oregon schools, the Pac-10 Tournament and the NCAA Tournament — helped him gain confidence as a player, especially in the post. • Miller said that senior forward Jesse Perry might see some time at the small forward position, especially until Parrom is able to return to the team. • Miller also said that Arizona could go with a three-guard look at times with Parrom’s future uncertain.

Foles, Wade surprised by Stoops’ firing, wish him luck By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat
No one was more surprised about the dismissal of Arizona Wildcats head coach Mike Stoops than his players and staff. For a team that has had a tumultuous 1-5 start to the season, the decision bred more uncertainty to the team’s future. “It surprised us all, it distracted us all,” quarterback Nick Foles said. “We all love and support coach Stoops, but you know, we still got a lot of season left to play.” “(The decision was) out of our control, the only thing we can do now is focus on our team and stick together.” For Foles, the loss of Stoops represents more than just the loss of a head coach; it’s also the loss of a mentor who helped him mature into the dominant player he is today. “Coach Stoops did so much for this program and I’ll always appreciate everything he’s done for me,” he said. “I know that we’re going to continue to play this season for him.”
The players were notified on Monday before athletic director Greg Byrne made the decision public. According to Foles, a team meeting was called, during which Byrne quickly announced Stoops had been fired and that defensive coordinator Tim Kish would take over as interim head coach. “Mr. Byrne came in and he told us what was going on,” Foles said. “He was pretty quick because he knew it was going to be tough on us.” Arizona cornerback Trevin Wade noted that the response from his teammates came quickly, but he decided to keep his head down and think. “It was real vocal,” Wade said. “I kind of wanted to just keep to myself and you know just think about it, don’t wanna say nothing you regret or anything.” Wade was quick to praise Stoops, however, and wanted to make sure people realize how influential his former head coach was on him and
pride in the game of football,” Wade continued. “He loved the game of football, he knew stuff before it came and he demanded the best.” Despite being in limited contact, Foles was able to talk to Stoops on the phone after his dismissal. “We talked for like 15 to 20 minutes. It’s pretty tough,” Foles said. “He’s been my head coach for the last several years and I really respect the man. “He’s a great coach and I wish him the best of luck. I know he’s going to land somewhere and do something great, but we have to stick together through this time.” Members of the team agreed it was time to move on and continue to fight through the rest of the season. Wade emphasized that he, like everyone else on the team, still has a Will Ferguson / Daily Wildcat position to play. Arizona senior Nick Foles, above, and Trevin Wade have been the only players “I still got to do my job,” he said. made available to the media following the firing of former head coach Mike Stoops. “We’re still here, everybody went through their grieving process. the program as a whole. to come to this school, he taught We decided yesterday to come out “He meant a lot to me,” Wade me a lot.” and practice and just play a little said. “He gave me the opportunity “(He is) a coach that had a lot of football.”
Murmes emerges for Arizona hockey By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat
Colin Prenger / Daily Wildcat
UA forward Andrew Murmes has helped the Wildcats weather the injury to their captain.
When captain and top returning scorer Brian Slugocki suffered an injury in the first period of the first game of the season, the No. 22 Arizona hockey team needed someone to step up and carry the scoring burden. So far, that player has been sophomore forward Andrew Murmes. “He has been a star standout for us at this point of the season,” associate coach Dave Dougall said. “We are going to depend upon him for point production out there.” Slugocki missed the majority of the first two games this year against then No. 9 ASU, yet he was still not at full strength during the showcase where the Wildcats played three more top-25 opponents. Murmes stepped up in Springfield, Ill., and while the team’s record is only 1-3-1, it has played competitively in every game against the tough opposition. And Murmes’ ability to get the puck in the net, either through his passing or shooting, has been a main factor. Through the first five games, Murmes has earned a team-high 11 points, tying him for 10th overall in points with five other

people in the ACHA. Among the other five is assistant captain and linemate Brady Lefferts with a team-high of four goals, including a crucial game-tying goal against ASU with just 6:03 left in regulation. “Andrew makes everyone else’s job easier,” sophomore Michael Basist said. Basist, Murmes’ best friend, recruited Murmes from Boston to the UA. “He plays the game the right way. He stays within the system that (head) coach (Sean) Hogan has presented to us, but he does a phenomenal job of reacting within the system. “If I have the puck behind the net … I know he is going to be in the correct spot in the center of the ice to receive a pass. And that just makes every other player’s job so much easier.” And while Murmes has been stellar so far
this season, he credits his line of Lefferts and senior Blake Richards for his individual success. “We all work together as one,” Murmes said. “There is no selfishness or anything. We work for each other and we work hard.” The three players have accounted for 20 of the Wildcat’s 35 points this season, and have produced a goal in all five games. However, the success of Murmes does not come as a shock; last season he was third in overall points for the team, and this summer he dedicated himself to improving and getting even better. “I was in the weight room almost five days out of the week, probably six, over the summer,” Murmes said. “My parents own a gym, so I was able to just work out. I was on the ice maybe four, five times a week as well with my buddies back home.” Basist agrees that his offseason workouts were responsible for his early season success. “He showed up to Arizona ready to play, and that is a huge part to such a quick start to the season.” Yet Murmes doesn’t pride himself on scoring; he would much rather make a

Volleyball’s Kingdon playing well beyond her years as frosh By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
She leads the team in kills, starts every match and was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week. Her award reminded everyone that Madi Kingdon is only a freshman. Apparently, even she forgets. “I feel like everyone else on the team doesn’t classify me as a freshman either,” Kingdon said. “It’s weird being freshman of the week when I’ve already been here.” Kingdon, who hails from Phoenix, opted to graduate early from Sunnyslope High School and come to Arizona in the spring 2011 semester. Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio approached her during the summer before her senior year with the proposition of coming early. “It was really hectic trying to get all of my classes together for that,” Kingdon said. “I took a bunch of online classes and a full schedule just so I could leave early.” Another motivating factor was her club coach Terri Spann’s decision to switch teams, making Kingdon’s upcoming club season look less appealing, she said. Rubio also told her she would play in every rotation. “I actually talked to Dave (Rubio) about it before I got here, and the thing that he recruited me for was because I was a six rotation player,” Kingdon said. “That’s why I came here, because he told me I’d play all the way around.” Rubio knew Kingdon could consistently score and pass, a rarity in volleyball. “She’s very competitive,” Rubio said. “She’s got tremendous skills as a freshman — her skill set is like that of someone who is a junior in college. You can sometimes find someone who scores, but it’s hard to find someone who can pass too.” Kingdon said she doesn’t regret forgoing half of her senior year, missing prom and other senior festivities. She didn’t even go to her graduation ceremony.
A coach’s influence develops an Arizona-bred volleyball player During Kingdon’s senior year of high school, her team won its third consecutive Class 4A Division I championship (41-3), and she was named both the Gatorade Arizona Player of the Year and Arizona Republic’s Player of the Year. In her final season, she racked up 587 kills and is currently the record-holder for kills at Sunnyslope. She started playing volleyball in eighth grade, and played on Arizona Storm club volleyball under Spann. Initially she was a middle blocker, but gladly switched to the outside because she didn’t enjoy the heavy emphasis

That would give the Wildcats the ability to have either Nick Johnson or Kyle Fogg on the floor with sophomore point guard Jordin Mayes and Turner. - Mayes put on about 15 pounds during the offseason, getting his weight up to around 195 pounds. Mayes has also returned to team activities after having surgery in July to repair a broken foot.

perfect pass, and his team-high 7 assists are a testament to that. “When guys try to double-team you or triple-team and you just make a really pretty play to a linemate who finishes, it’s great,” Murmes said. “Even when I score a goal, I go right up to the guy who gave me the pass because it’s not an individual effort.” For Basist, his true value comes from being a playmaker. “(Murmes is) filling a role on this team where he needs to be a goal scorer, but as a whole he creates,” Basist said. “Obviously
Kingdon by the numbers This season: 220 kills 121 digs 14 matches with double-digit kills 13 block assists 5 double-doubles 5 block solos on blocking. Through club she not only found her signature position, but also a close friend in Spann. “I love her, she texts me all the time after games, and Dave will text her,” Kingdon said. “We talk a lot. She’s really important in my life.” Spann, who is currently the co-director of Arizona Storm, referred to herself as Kingdon’s occasional, “personal shrink.” “Student-athletes go through so much,” Spann said. “Madi leaving high school early to go to college — she was always a mature player — but it’s challenging to deal with everything that comes with being a student-athlete. Anytime she has issues, she texts me or calls me. I wasn’t going to sit there and coddle her or anything like that. I’m all about thickening up her skin and getting her ready to be great.” When Kingdon left for Arizona, she became somewhat of a rival to Spann. But the rivalry didn’t stop Spann from supporting Kingdon’s decision. “I’m an ASU alumna so I wasn’t that keen on Arizona,” Spann said. “But, I also know that Dave is a phenomenal coach, so I was totally supportive of her going to Arizona. I’m just so happy about how well she’s been doing.”
Labeled a Wildkitten So far she is enjoying her freshman season and likes all of her teammates, Kingdon said. She especially enjoys her playtime. “Playing all the way around,” Kingdon said, “I’m one of the only players that gets to do that.” Her favorite moment happened last Saturday, when Arizona upset No. 2 UCLA. Against the Bruins, Kingdon had 16 kills and 11 digs, making it her fifth double-double of the season — further proof of her maturity.
- Miller said that instead of one player stepping up to replace the production of Derrick Williams, he’d like to have five or six players averaging double-digits in scoring. - Both freshman forward Sidiki Johnson and Perry said they don’t have any personal goals, other than winning a national championship this season. - All of the players and coaches agreed that last season’s success made them hungrier for this season, so putting work on tedious things like defense and conditioning was easy after seeing measurable results on the court.
he can score, but he has great vision. He has great on-ice vision.” “I’d say he moves the puck almost as if he’s the quarterback of the team.” Both Basist and Murmes compared his game to that of Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings. Datsyuk’s great vision and ability to score compliments his solid defensive play, allowing him to contribute on both sides of the puck, something Murmes hopes to do in every game. “I want to score, and, you know, I definitely help the team with scoring, but it doesn’t matter who scores, it’s all “And if I got five blocked shots and I’m working hard and I still don’t get a goal, I’m still happy as long as we get the ‘W.’”

Arizona volleyball freshman Madison Kingdon, nicknamed Fetus because of her age, has been a invaluable to Dave Rubio’s team.
Even with her skill set and apparent experience, her team has an interesting nickname for her. “Everyone calls me ‘Fetus,’ because when I got here I was 17,” said Kingdon. “They all call me Baby or Fetus. I’m like, ‘Stop calling me that.’ And there are freshmen that are younger than me, but they still call me Fetus, especially Tori (Moore). She does it all the time, and I’m like, ‘Tori, I’m not that young anymore,’ and she’s like, ‘You’ll always be a little fetus.’”

he’s at his best and that allows him to have the best chance to be successful.” Since returning to Tucson, Parrom has begun rehab for his right leg, which still has two bullet fragments wedged in it. He’s started to do range of motion exercises and run a little bit on the treadmill, but his return date is still in question. “Right now his future is in doubt,” Miller said. “Hopefully we’ll welcome him back at some point but we don’t have a crystal ball to know when and if that’s going to happen.” The freak injury couldn’t have come at a worse time for Parrom. After missing half of his freshman year with a stress fracture in his foot, Parrom played in all 38 games last season and gave Arizona toughness and energy. Parrom said he worked tirelessly in the offseason to have a big junior year and help lead the Wildcats to yet another deep tournament run. “I worked extremely hard. Everybody said they worked hard during the summer, they do this and that but I was here grinding,” Parrom said. “I was grinding every day with a few other guys like Solomon (Hill), Jesse (Perry), that’s just to name a few. We were here grinding just to try and get to the Final Four. Words can’t even describe how hard I’ve worked this whole summer.” It is unknown if Parrom will miss any game time this season. While he is thousands of miles from his immedediate family, his basketball family is helping him every fday. “It was terrible just to see that happen to him. Going back home for a certain reason and then have that happen to him out of the blue,” said sophomore guard Jordin Mayes. “We don’t really want to focus on that. We just want to come back and work hard for him.”
They said it “It’s always tough. For a guy who works so hard, I was with him the whole summer, basically my roommate, one of my closest guys on the team. It’s definitely hard to see somebody go down like that who’s got so much potential just over a stupid situation. He’s definitely strong. He’s going to have to be, stronger for her, stronger for himself to get back on the grind, back on the court.” — UA forward Jesse Perry “As a team you just try and help him. Stay positive mentally, physically, rehab, whatever it takes. Just try to cheer him up on a daily basis. We’re hoping he’s going to help us this year because we really need him.” — UA center Kyryl Natyazhko “Everything happens for a reason. There’s a purpose behind this. Maybe the purpose behind this is to get the other players stronger, to get the chemistry going with the other guys. We don’t know the purpose. But we’ll soon find out.” — UA forward Kevin Parrom “It’s hard. It’s consuming. You don’t think about practice. You don’t think about a lot of things you normally would when you have one of your own players who’s been shot. There’s not necessarily a manual you pull out that tells you what to do. You really just try to be there and guide the process.” — UA head coach Sean Miller
