KENNEDY: 50 YEARS LATER It was a day that would go down in history:

On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot while riding in a motorcade through Dallas, Texas. Although he was taken to a nearby hospital, Kennedy did not survive. The Daily Wildcat asked UA faculty and staff, as well as a Daily Wildcat editor from the time, to share their memories from the day of Kennedy’s assassination.

UA President

When news arrived at my high school that President Kennedy had been shot, I was in ninth grade gym class. The high school immediately cancelled any change of classes, and everyone stayed in place while we listened for news on the radio and received updates over the school intercom.

We sat on the floor and talked quietly, not believing what we were hearing.

My immediate reaction was disbelief. We were all upset, confused and frightened as the immediate national response was a general belief that this was a conspiracy and other terrible events would immediately follow. This was the middle of the Cold War, with the constant threat and fear of nuclear attack, and I remembered the incredible fear we had recently all felt during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when we believed that a nuclear showdown between [leader of the Soviet Union Nikita] Khrushchev and Kennedy was imminent.

My most vivid memory of the days immediately following the assassination was the realization, probably for the first time as an individual, that history happened to real people in real time.

That sense of history as crisis and conflict grew over the next few years as the Vietnam War and American involvement heated up and coverage of the war dominated the television news every night, including the day’s body counts.

The boys I went to school with had to register for the draft when they turned 18, and the conflict dominated our lives. The Kennedy assassination started that sense of history as world conflict and strident political debate and the U.S.’s place in the world for me.

THE ARIZONA WILDCAT, a campus weekly at the time, published a photo spread of the UA community’s reaction to the assassination of John F. Kennedy on Nov. 23, 1963.

Planning is well underway for the 40th UA Spring Fling, which will be held on campus for the first time since 1999.

For at least the past four years, members of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona have been working with administration and the community to try to return Spring Fling, a student-run carnival, to campus. In April, ASUA members will see their efforts come to fruition.

“We’re just really excited to see how it goes,” said Morgan Abraham, ASUA president. “We’re focused on engaging the students, and we would love to have the biggest student-attended event in the history.”

The Spring Fling team, made up of about eight students, has been working on rough outlines for all aspects of the carnival, which serves as a fundraiser for campus clubs. The team formed an advisory committee that included collaborative partners ahead of the fall semester, according to Jared Young, the Spring Fling executive director.

“We’ve tried to be very conscious with how we proceed forward, not just on campus, but off campus as well,” Young said. “It’s just such a good opportunity that we really want to do it right the first time.”

down.

Then, while the whole community was in shock over it, Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered right before our eyes on national TV. That was an even bigger shock for me and it seemed that the whole country was going insane and out of control. I still don’t think that Oswald acted alone, didn’t think so at the time, and remember people talking on TV at the time about how they had video footage that was confiscated and was never ever returned. It was a really strange time for a young person to cope with, and having almost instinctively had to comfort other people despite my own confusion was an experience I had never had before.

I think it was a lot like 9/11, a feeling of sickness in the pit of the stomach. I had seen him in person when he was running for office. He was a good speaker, even with that Boston accent, and he was very handsome, much handsomer and more accessible than the candidate Richard Nixon, whom I also saw live. I remember thinking that there was very little protection for him when he came to speak to our community. You could wander right up to him. I remember wondering about that with Gabby Giffords too, after I met her.

anticipates it to cost less than that because of the shortening of the event.

“We’d gotten to the point where we had costs under pretty good control at Rillito Downs,” Young said. “We’re trying to maintain that lean attitude as we move back to campus. … I want it to be fun and big, but I’m being very costconscious with what we’re trying to do.”

The Tucson Police Department is investigating after a UA student was threatened at knifepoint while working at Campus Candy on University Boulevard.

Indiana Rodrigues, a psychology freshman, said she was working alone at the candy store on Tuesday night when a man in his late 30s walked in. Rodrigues had to read the man’s lips in order to understand that he couldn’t speak. The man used a pen and a notepad to request candy, Rodrigues said.

After turning away from him for a few seconds, Rodrigues turned back around to read “empty the register” on the man’s notepad. Not realizing he was serious, Rodrigues said she paused and looked at him. The man then showed her he had a switchblade knife, and she gave him the money in the register.

“It just happened so fast, it didn’t really hit me,” Rodrigues said. “I may have cried for like 10 seconds but then I got stuff together and it was fine.”

CARNIVALGOERS enjoy the first night of Spring Fling 2013. The student-run carnival will be back on the UA Mall next semester for its 40th anniversary.

One of the challenges the team has faced has been adapting the set model from previous Spring Fling events held at Rillito Downs to the UA campus, Young said.

Considerations include parking, trash receptacles, portable restrooms and the placement of booths and rides.

Additionally, in response to community concerns, the carnival has been cut from four days to three days. The event will now run April 11-13.

There is $190,000 budgeted for putting on the carnival, but Young said the Spring Fling team

weekly, but under Sherman Miller, head of the University of Arizona Journalism Department, we ran it as if we were old pros. One morning, the venerable professor Brewster Campbell burst into our newswriting class, walrus mustache bristling.

“I think the president’s been shot,” he said. He hurried to the black AP Model 15 Teletype clattering away in a closet, with the rest of us in pursuit. Frank Cormier’s bulletins from Dallas confirmed it.

With hardly a word to each other, a halfdozen Wildcat people in the class rushed out the door to interview students and professors for reaction and pursue other aspects of the story. Editors raced to our printers, who stripped everything else off their presses. Within hours, a special edition carpeted the campus. All of us knew, after that day, what we’d be doing for a living. Life sidetracked some. I got lucky. A half-century later, I’m still doing it.

the store. Rodrigues said she called the police immediately.

Business owners and managers on University Boulevard said they were surprised to hear of the robbery. Tom Cassidy, co-owner of Ooo! Outside of Ordinary, said the Marshall Foundation does a great job providing security to its properties in the area.

“I was unhappy and distressed. I don’t like it,” Cassidy said. “Whoever it was had a lot of nerve doing it, but unfortunately these are not very good times and desperate people do desperate things.”

Despite being at work at the time of the incident, Hanah Klein, manager of Swindlers, a clothing store adjacent to Campus Candy, said she was unaware of what happened until a day later. Business owners in the area should consider always having more than one employee working at all times, Klein said.

Mariam Edwards, co-owner of Campus Candy, said her employee handled the situation well and that other employees were notified of the incident. Her biggest concern when learning about the

incident was her employee’s safety, Edwards said.

Like most businesses along University Boulevard, the candy shop has surveillance cameras.

The Tucson Police Department is currently investigating the case and could not release the police report for the incident.

Students said they usually feel safe around the university, especially in a populated place like University Boulevard.

“I would never expect something to happen like that right off of University [Boulevard],” said Evan Smith, an engineering freshman.

While she had never been in this type of situation before, Rodrigues said she was glad nothing worse happened.

“I never feel unsafe there; it’s a really great place to work,” Rodrigues said. “It was just one incident that happened, and it could’ve happened anywhere.”

Some of the conversation has regarded maintaining access routes for emergency vehicles. This means there will be no rides located in the roads on the sides of the Mall, according to Herb Wagner, the UA Fire Marshal and the director of occupational and environmental health and safety.

There will be a fence around the Spring Fling grounds, but where the fence crosses the roads there will be manned gates

Last year’s carnival drew between 2,000 and 3,000 students, in addition to thousands of Tucson community members. Young said he anticipates a larger student crowd attending the spring event because of the move to campus. He added that he hopes the event will stay on campus in years to come.

in order to provide quicker access for emergency vehicles. Staff will also inspect the rides for fire code violations and check for tripping hazards on the grounds, Wagner said.

Some of the planning has also involved scaling down the number of rides and booths to fit, according to Melissa Vito, vice provost for Academic Initiatives & Student Success and senior vice president for Student Affairs & Enrollment Management.

In an email interview, Vito said there are some additional costs involved due to the move, such as ensuring there is enough parking on campus to minimize or eliminate any impact on the surrounding neighborhoods.

In addition to setup, student organizers are also planning for the actual carnival events. There will also be alumni events held

Ultra-concentrated form of marijuana can be risky to produce

BY Tanner clinch The Daily Wildcat

A piece of titanium is blasted by a 3500 degree Fahrenheit propane torch until it glows bright red. A piece of a wax-like substance is dunked into it, vaporizing instantly. As the smoke goes through the bubbler and the person smoking inhales the thick white gas, the effects are felt almost instantly.

Wax, dabs, globs and chunks are words many marijuana consumers use to describe an ultra-concentrated form of cannabis that is making waves among the community of pot users. The most common of these is butane hash oil, which is made by running butane through cannabis buds.

However, many other solvents can be used as well.

“You can use anything, really: butane, propane, CO2, pretty much anything as long as it’s non-polar.

Butane is the most common because it’s easy to purge out,” said Steve, a UA junior who makes BHO illegally for recreational users.

The dangers involved in making these bootleg products are real. For example, butane is highly flammable, and if used indoors can cause fires and explosions.

In addition, oftentimes the illegal product is not made properly and some solvent is left behind, which is then consumed by the smoker.

In states where these concentrates are legal, producers use gas chromatography to determine if there are any solvents left behind.

Steve admits that when he first started making BHO, he had no idea what he was doing.

The health risks of long-term butane exposure from poorly made BHO are not yet fully known;

however, overexposure while making BHO is a real concern.

“Afterwards, I’ll notice it,” said Steve. “My hands will be shaking, dude, and I’ll have a wicked headache.”

Exposure to butane increases the risk of sudden death, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

There are also concerns about the extremely large amounts of cannabinoids, the psychoactive, that are extracted, as it enables users to consume a lot of the psychoactive substance very quickly.

Due to the lack of research on the subject because of federal law, no one really knows the health effects of long-term use of such high concentrations of THC, the most common psychoactive substance in marijuana.

“With extracts, you can put hash or whatever into one of those e-cig type devices, but then you can go nuts with it and not know when to stop,” said Mohit Asnani, a graduate of the Eller College of Management who helped open several dispensaries, including the Downtown Dispensary. “I think edibles are a lot better at dosing.”

Opinions differ in the medical marijuana community over whether these concentrates can be effective medicines. As of right now, it is illegal for any dispensary to carry or sell these concentrates in Arizona. Before Proposition 203 — also known as the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, the medical marijuana proposition that passed in 2010 — some dispensaries were carrying these concentrates, but they stopped to comply with the law.

“The Department of Health is looking at cannabis as something that has plant matter,” Asnani said.

Oftentimes these concentrates don’t have any plant matter in them because of the process by which

they are created, which leaves only cannabinoids.

Kyle Heppler, who is a grower at Earth’s Healing Dispensary in Tucson, has mixed opinions on the efficacy of these concentrates. “When you use butane or whatever to make these concentrates, oftentimes you only get the THC and you leave behind a lot of other cannabinoids, you know,

CBD, CBN, CBC, that provide a lot of the benefits from medical marijuana,” Heppler said.

However, some people prefer these concentrates because they contain less plant matter so there is less smoke to inhale, and therefore less damage to the lungs. This is seen as a big advantage to many recreational users, as well as medical users.

Trans fat ban to help with healthy habits BY austin mcevoy The Daily Wildcat

Frozen pizza will never be the same.

The college favorite — along with doughnuts, microwave popcorn and crackers ­— is just one of the foods that will be affected by the Food and Drug Administration’s ban of trans fats, said Wanda Howell, a UA nutrition professor and registered dietitian.

The FDA announced its decision to take trans fats off of the “generally recognized as safe” list on Nov. 7, stating that there is a high correlation between the intake of trans fat and coronary heart disease. The FDA is allowing a 60-day comment period before the ban begins to be enforced.

Trans fats are similar to saturated fat in that they increase levels of low density lipoproteins, otherwise known as LDLs, Howell said. LDLs increase the amount of “bad” cholesterol in the

body, she said.

“Some data shows that trans fats are actually worse than saturated fats,” Howell said.

Trans fats cause more adverse biological effects than saturated fats because they reduce the amount of high-density lipoproteins in the body, according to a study by Wageningen University.

High density lipoproteins, or HDLs, are responsible for increasing the amount of “good cholesterol,” Howell said.

Trans fat and saturated fat both have linear molecular structures. The difference is that saturated fat comes from animal products, while trans fat is synthesized from vegetable oil by partially hydrogenating a carbon-carbon double bond, Howell said.

Manufacturers use trans fats because they lengthen the shelf life of their products, according to Howell. If trans fats were banned,

TRANS FAT is made by partially hydrogenating vegetable oil. The Federal Drug Administration is taking trans fats off of the “generally recognized as safe” list.

food companies would have to use different kinds of fats in their products, which could increase the price of some items.

This could have a significant effect on smaller manufacturers, Howell said.

“If these companies use something other than trans fats in their products that costs more, that’s just more money that I have to pay,” said Diana

In the end, it comes down to personal preference.

“You have your buds; that’s a natural process,” Asnani said. “All these other things, concentrates, hash oil, bubble hash — that’s a chemical process that someone’s doing.”

Villar, a physiology junior. “I would rather keep trans fat in food if it means that it is cheaper.”

However, the elimination of trans fats could prevent as many as 20,000 heart attacks a year and spare as many as 7,000 people from death due to coronary heart disease each year, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“There is no question that what you eat affects your heart,” said Dr. Jess Thompson, a cardiothoracic surgeon and assistant professor in the UA department of surgery.

Bad cholesterol causes plaque to build up in the arteries, which can make them narrow and harden, Thompson said. This results in an increased risk of a heart attack and less oxygenated blood being delivered to the muscles, he said.

Americans already seem more aware of these risks. The average amount of trans fat consumed per day decreased from 4.6 grams per day in 2003 to 1 gram per day in 2012, according to the FDA. “Consumers are already getting the message,” Howell said, “which is why banning trans fats has not been met with as much resistance.”

Yes, perhaps. But only, I would argue, if you’re willing to learn — not just from the systems and institutions of your homeland, but from the people and traditions of your temporary home.

Because, while they may produce excellent physical results, so often volunteer-abroad trips provide no mental or spiritual growth for their participants. Instead, they promote an insular environment where white savior complexes may be acted out.

Good intentions are not enough.

Last year, Nigerian-American author Teju Cole took to Twitter and vented about what he called the White Savior Industrial Complex, the “banality of sentimentality,” in which the world exists only to satisfy the needs of white people, the privileged volunteers.

“The White Savior Industrial Complex is not about justice,” Cole tweeted. “It is about having a big emotional experience that validates privilege.”

The white savior complex could further be described as a kind of self-congratulatory volunteerism, where the goal is not really to experience a distinct culture or to assist in its liberation but, through ignorance and imposition, to remold it in America’s image.

Jennifer Roth-Gordon, an assistant professor in the School of Anthropology whose work revolves around race, said that when privileged people find out about unfortunate situations and power struggles abroad, they want to help, but ignorance and misguided intentions stemming from their privilege can prove a stumbling block.

“There is the risk that white people can reinforce exactly the power hierarchy they are trying to correct,” she said. “In their desire to help, they don’t ask enough questions, listen enough or want to start at the bottom of the pecking order.”

No one is asking the people of the host country for their input. It’s presumed they would not have a clue of the best methods for improving their own country. These programs seem to say, “Look where these third-world denizens are at now after we, the first world, left them on their own. Look how much they need us.”

This, of course, is a very simplified version of how the world works, ignoring globalization

and the effects that American policies and interventions have had on the resources and infrastructures of foreign countries.

But it serves its purpose, preserving a neocolonialist picture of why we seem to have so much, at least materially, compared to the countries designated “third-world” — and thus, why we feel obligated to endow these countries with our wisdom.

By treating our gracious hosts like children — without hopes, dreams, ideas, knowledge or skills of their own — we backslide into a stagnant world without respect.

In a recent TED Talk, Ernesto Sirolli, an expert in sustainable economic development, discussed his experiences as a young man volunteering in Africa in the ’70s.

Every project he set out to accomplish failed, Sirolli said.

In one, he and his group of Italian volunteers found a fertile valley that had not been sown.

Assuming the Africans did not have the intelligence or ability to do so, Sirolli and his friends planted Italian vegetables and watched as they flourished.

After the tomatoes and zucchinis had reached the peak of ripeness, hippos came into the valley and devoured all of their hard work.

Had the Italians asked the Africans why there were no plants in this land, they would have quickly learned about the hungry hungry hippos, and saved themselves time and resources.

But they didn’t.

Such experiences inspired Sirolli to “become a servant of the local passion.”

“What you do — you shut up,” Sirolli said.

“You never arrive in a community with any ideas.”

When we enter another country, we are guests. We go to unfamiliar territory to be taught and to learn, not to minimize and demean the hosts on their own ground.

Roth-Gordon advises that programs and individual volunteers with a white savior mentality change their tactics through education if they really want to make a difference.

“Realize that you do a lot more good by listening, supporting and using your white privilege in service of others,” she said, “and not always by trying to run the show or show someone what they are doing wrong. Good intentions are great, but great practices and sincere respect are better.”

If we could convince our volunteers to instead empty themselves, to act as vessels to exercise the creativity and cultural wisdom of the host country, there would not only be physical progress for the inhabitants of the country, but also a humble blossoming within the volunteers abroad, as they realize the value of people both like and unlike themselves.

Blame it on the alcohol

W IT

A UA student was arrested for possession of a fake driver’s license and for using the fake ID to purchase alcohol on Thursday at around 1 p.m.

The fake driver’s license was discovered after the student left his wallet at the Express Document Center in the UA Main Library. When it was found, a University of Arizona Police Department officer went through it to identify who it belonged to and found the fake license as well as a receipt from an alcohol purchase.

The student was contacted and informed the wallet had been found. When the student arrived to pick it up, he was met by a UAPD officer, who asked to speak with him about the wallet.

The student seemed very nervous at the time and the officer asked him if he knew why he wanted to speak with him. He replied, “Because I had something in my wallet that I shouldn’t have.”

The officer showed the student the fake ID as well as a receipt from a nearby Safeway that showed a purchase of more than $100 worth of vodka and rum. The student confirmed that the fake license was his and that he had used it to buy the alcohol.

The student said he no longer had the alcohol in his possession and that he had purchased two fake IDs for $100 from the website “ID Chief,” but he only had one left because a bouncer at an unidentified bar had seized the other one.

The student was arrested and released on the scene for using the fake driver’s license, and was referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Roommate Problems

A UAPD officer was called to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall because a UA student felt threatened by his roommate after a verbal confrontation.

The student had concerns after two incidents with his roommate occurred. The first incident was when the student was on the phone with his mother and she asked what the loud noise was in the background and he said it was his roommate’s video game.

When the student got off of the phone with his mom, his roommate became irate and started screaming at him telling him to “stop talking crap,” and calling him a coward.

After that incident the roommate apologized and said that it wouldn’t happen again. The resident assistant did not document it because the student believed it truly was a onetime occurrence.

The second argument was over a fantasy basketball league that both roommates were a part of. The student felt that his roommate was cheating and got upset because there was money involved, so he dropped him from the league without telling him.

When his roommate found out he was dropped from the league he made a comment to a friend saying it was a “bitch move.” After the friend left the room, the student’s roommate began screaming at him, telling him he was going to “beat him up” and threatening to punch him in the face multiple times. The student said that the yelling got so loud that other residents came to the room to see if everything was OK. As the student tried to leave the room, his roommate blocked the door and would not let him leave. A friend of the student stepped in and told the roommate to stop, and then they left the room. The student said that if his friend hadn’t stepped in, he believed that his roommate would have assaulted him.

The student then told the resident assistant that he felt unsafe and threatened and he wanted to move. He was placed in a new room.

The UAPD officer could not make any arrests due to insufficient evidence of the threats.

WHERE’S WILBUR? Wilbur T. Wildcat is ranked No. 12 in the Capitol One Mascot Challenge. This week he is matched up against The Duck of the University of Oregon.

Arizona will host one of the nation’s most dangerous offenses in No. 5 Oregon this Saturday.

Inside the Ducks’ pretty uniforms is an army of explosive weapons on offense who are capable of outrunning any Arizona defender for an easy touchdown. But most notable are the three who are currently, or soon will be, Heisman candidates.

“We can’t play poorly and win, we showed that last week,” said Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez.

“Do we have to play perfect? No, but we have to

“[Mariota] is as dangerous, if not more dangerous than any quarterback in the nation when he runs the ball,” said Arizona senior linebacker Jack Fischer.

Mariota has been dealing with a knee injury that could keep him from running all over the field Saturday. In fact, in the Ducks’ previous two games, the Hawaii native has rushed for negative yards.

“What that means is [Oregon] is more likely to switch up their game plan,” Fischer said.

Stanford, the only team to beat Oregon this season, contained Mariota and his offense by bringing pressure with its linebackers and not

After outscoring its opponents 187-109 in the first two rounds of the NIT Season Tip-Off and securing a bid to the semifinals at Madison Square Garden in New York, Arizona is set to face Drexel in what head coach Sean Miller expects to be a solid matchup.

“Drexel is very good. It’s going to be very difficult on Wednesday, but it’s exciting to prepare for,” Miller said. “This is one of the most prestigious tournaments that college basketball has. To play in Madison Square Garden is something our players will remember forever.”

Miller added that if Arizona wants to enjoy a successful trip, the Wildcats have to improve in certain aspects of the game that were lacking in the second game of the tournament.

“We weren’t moving the ball as a cohesive unit in the first eight minutes of the game [and] because of that, we didn’t score. We took quick shots and didn’t have that ball movement and togetherness,” Miller said. “In the second half we didn’t defend nearly as well. It was a tale of two halves. If you look at the second half defensively, we weren’t really good. Defense is our identity and if we lose that, it can carry into the next game.”

have some things go right and they have to help us, which can happen.”

The commander-in-chief of Oregon’s offense is redshirt sophomore quarterback Marcus Mariota. The early Heisman candidate has a passing efficiency of 176.2, the sixth highest in the country. Mariota has thrown for 2,819 yards and 25 touchdowns this season and has yet to throw an interception.

Mariota’s skills don’t end there. One of the country’s best dual-threat quarterbacks, Mariota also has nine rushing touchdowns this season and averages 7.2 yards per rush.

Foul Trouble

“

“

On Saturday, two of the biggest sporting events in Tucson are going head to head, and fans without a game plan could lose out.

The annual El Tour de Tucson on Saturday will see more than 9,000 cyclists racing around town. The Arizona football game against Oregon on Saturday is set for the 1:30 p.m. ABC/ ESPN2 time slot, creating a conflict.

Harry Anthos, route director for El Tour de Tucson, said motorists should head to the game early, before 11 a.m.

Fans coming to the game from the west side of Interstate 10 could run into problems, as a long portion of the race goes along the I-10 Frontage Road.

“If the people on the west side of the freeway know what to do, it’s not a big deal,” said Michael McKisson, publisher and editor of Tucson cycling website TucsonVelo.com. “Starting at about 1 [p.m.], probably, they’re going to be pretty brutal. … The fastest guys will finish about noon, and then it will basically be a constant stream of people coming until 5 or 6 o’clock at night.”

McKisson said west-siders should take North Silverbell Road south to Congress Street and then get on Grande Avenue, which changes into Mission Road, to West Silverlake Road, which changes into 29th Street and then cross the freeway at 29th Street and then take that to Kino Parkway, which changes into Campbell Avenue.

Campbell Avenue serves as the UA’s eastern border.

El Tour de Tucson is held annually on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, but it doesn’t usually conflict with UA home games.

McKisson said he can only recall three other times that the UA has had home games on El Tour day.

“There’s not a lot of experience with this,” McKisson said. “Additionally … the games are usually later.”

Darren Graessle, UA director of ticket operations and customer relations, said the UA is expecting a big crowd Saturday, with almost 50,000 seats sold.

Last week, 42,080 fans attended the noon game against Washington State.

“We still do have a good number of tickets left in the upper level, but sales

letting the Ducks run around tackles.

“The key to tackling someone in space is getting help from your teammates and taking proper angles,” said Arizona freshman linebacker Derrick Turituri.

One of the key reasons Mariota has been successful is the athletes that he has behind and around him.

Junior De’Anthony Thomas can be one of the most exciting athletes when he has the ball in the open field.

“He’s scary fast,” Turituri said.

Thomas, a 5-foot-9 running back, missed four games earlier this season with an ankle injury that prevented him from stealing more headlines, but he returned on Oct 26. “[Thomas] looks like himself,” Rodriguez said. “He’s one of the most explosive players in the country. “ Alongside Thomas is sophomore running back Byron Marshall, who did more than just fill in for Thomas when he went down with the injury.

“No one is talking about [Marshall] but that’s another one of their guys who is just crazy fast when he has space.”

The reserve has stepped up and broken out, and could be a Heisman candidate next season.

Rodriguez said he has looked over the tape of Stanford’s 26-20 win against Oregon on Nov. 7 and joked that if the Wildcats want to stop Oregon this Saturday, they will need the Cardinal’s 11 defenders to transfer to Arizona.

Stanford was able to control the time of possession and force Oregon to be defensive while the Cardinal’s defense was on attack mode.

Against Stanford, the Ducks had the ball for a total of 17:26 of the 60 minutes.

Magill a better blocker

BY ROSE ALY VALENZUELA

The Daily Wildcat Arizona indoor volleyball sophomore Olivia Magill doesn’t get much playing time, but that hasn’t kept her from making an impact.

The 6-foot-2 middle blocker leads the team in blocking with 103 blocks for the season so far.

“There’s different ways to motivate her. She hates not playing,” said head coach Dave Rubio.

“Maybe that’s the best way.”

Last season she finished with 104 blocks and received Pac-12 All-Freshman honorable mention honors for also leading the Wildcats in blocks.

“I’ve improved my blocking over the year and that makes me really happy,” Magill said. “I know during the spring we worked on blocking a lot and I feel like I have really improved.”

Magill is one of the top three scorers, as she has recorded 230.5.

Rubio said Magill had some blocking improvement to do last week when the Wildcats hosted Utah and Colorado.

Magill didn’t get much playing time during the match against Utah on Thursday night.

Then when she stepped on to the court Sunday afternoon while hosting Colorado, she recorded a match-high 14.5 points.

“We get a lot of offense out of Olivia; she’s certainly a threat to score all the time,” Rubio said. “I like her composure. … She’s really aggressive; she’s a big-time athlete. If we’re going to shoot for the stars, she’s somebody who has to be on the court for us.”

Magill said she has concentrated on her defensive skills of late.

“Against Colorado, I just really focused on my blocking,” Magill said.

Junior outside hitter Madi Kingdon said Magill’s performance on Sunday was one of the best ones she’s seen.

“I think she did a great job tonight,” Kingdon said after Sunday’s match. “Blocking- and hitting-wise, she was really well-rounded,” Rubio and Kingdon are not the only ones who have noticed Magill’s improvement.

Magill also said she is pleased with the way her

improvements have shown.

Magill recorded 144 kills last season, and she has recorded 171 this season.

“I’ve become more aggressive as I’ve gotten older and more comfortable playing in the Pac12, so that has helped,” Magill said.

With four matches left in the regular season, Magill said she will prepare herself for competitions by paying attention to the scouting reports so she can be familiar with the other teams’ offense and defense.

“I’m really self-motivated, so every time I

step on the court, I’m going to try really hard to show leadership through that,” Magill said. “I’m going to play really hard for my teammates.”

Magill and the Wildcats will face USC, UCLA, Stanford and ASU in their last four matches. “[The teams] have just as much talent as we do, but it’s all about who comes together and plays as one,” Magill said.

are a lot better than last weekend,” Graessle said.

Anthos said that drivers should avoid St. Mary’s Road and 22nd Street by the freeway around midday.

St. Mary’s Road changes into Anklam Road around the Pima Community College West Campus, then into Sixth Street around downtown, runs just south of Arizona Stadium and then finally into Fifth Street around Country Club Road.

Anthos said people coming from the northwest could run into problems between 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Fans coming from Oro Valley should take the freeway to St. Mary’s Road or Speedway Boulevard, McKisson said.

The Catalina Foothills near Swan Road will probably be the most difficult area to get through because “people are going to be trickling past that,” McKisson said.

Graessle said ticket buyers don’t seem to be concerned about El Tour or the potential for rain, but he is worried about what the day game could mean for the student section.

“I’m a little concerned, just because of the early start,” Graessle said. “That does seem to be the kind of games where we have really low attendance from the ZonaZoo.” El Tour de Tucson officials are recommending motorists in the Old Pueblo leave an hour early for their destinations on Saturday.

“People always get frustrated, every year, about El Tour,” McKisson said. “They don’t look at the map, they don’t know it’s coming and then all of a sudden they are sitting in traffic for an extra hour and they’re pissed.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Wildcats suffer bleak loss to Southland Conference team

BY ROBERTO PAYNE

The Daily Wildcat A second-half offense that sputtered resulted in a 60-56 defeat for Arizona women’s basketball at the hands of the Stephen F. Austin team in the regular season home opener.

An 11-point Arizona lead at half time was not enough to fend off the advances of the Ladyjacks. “[I’m] obviously very disappointed with the outcome,” said UA head coach Niya Butts. “[If] you don’t defend in the second half and you don’t score, it’s going to be tough to beat anybody. We didn’t do nearly enough, especially in the second half.”

Arizona started the game with a hot shooting first half in which the Wildcats shot 53.6 percent from the field. However, the team shot merely 18.5 percent from the field in the second half. No Wildcat scored a field goal after senior guard Kama Griffitts made a three-pointer with 7:34 left to go in the second half.

“We didn’t execute our plays,” said junior guard Candice Warthen.

“We can talk about [execution] at practice. We just know when and where to be at the right times.”

The Ladyjacks ramped up their defensive intensity in the second half, as they allowed only five total second-half field goals for Arizona.

score 28 of the team’s 60 points and converted three of the team’s four three-pointers.

UA junior guard Candice Warthen scored 13 points in the first

half on 5-for-8 shooting before scoring only two points on 0-11 shooting in the second half. Stephen F. Austin made a concerted effort in the second half to pay closer attention to Warthen and UA senior guard Carissa Crutchfield picked up some of the scoring burden.

Crutchfield finished the game with 15 points, including eight of the team’s 21 second half points.

Bench scoring was another huge factor, as the Ladyjacks held a 25-8 advantage over the Wildcats in that category. Butts said the team needs to give a better effort from both the bench and the starters.

“Our bench, our first five, everybody just needs to give more,” Butts said. “Giving up 60 points is enough to get a win, the problem is when we go 5-27 [from the field] in the second half and we don’t get anything.”

The Wildcats play next on Saturday at 6 p.m. MST against the University of the Pacific Tigers in Stockton, Calif., before returning to Tucson to take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Tuesday at 11 a.m.

“We’ll come back,” Crutchfield said after the game. “We’ll focus and practice right. … We go on the road and just play together.”
