The UA was placed in the top 100 of the Best Global Universities ranking by a U.S News and World report released Oct. 28, making it the only Arizona institution on the list. Along with the UA as a whole, many departments and programs in the sciences and other schools ranked in the top 100 as well, with a standout distinction of a No. 5-ranking for Space Sciences globally. Other programs included in the top 100 list were geosciences, ecology, social sciences and public health. The Best Global University ranking lists the top 500 universities in approximately 50 countries. The list uses a particular methodology to determine the rank and score of each university, taking 10 factors into consideration.

Similarly, in September, the UA was also featured on U.S. News and World Report’s list of the top 100 Public Universities of 2014, ranking No. 58 nationally. Don McCarthy, a UA researcher in space sciences who also attended graduate school at the UA, said there are different aspects of the program that he thinks allowed the UA to be ranked in the top five programs for space sciences. “[The UA has a] reputation for its observatories and state-ofthe-art technologies,” McCarthy said. McCarthy said the UA’s involvement in many important projects and research makes it relevant. Along with faculty, UA students are enthusiastic about this statistic. Victoria Herbert, a prebusiness freshman, said the UA was well-known even on the East Coast. “Personally, when I first heard of U of A, I heard it was a great school … known for its high standards,” Herbert said.

ROCKOCHET, INVENTED BY Jorge Arjona, is a new device that hasn’t been released yet, which will deflect rocks and debris in the pathway of a skateboard.

this new safety device began three years ago on Halloween when Jorge Arjona received a phone call from his sister. She told him that his nephew had just gotten hit by a car while skateboarding. A few rocks caused his nephew, Marco Chavez, 15 at the time,

to fly off the skateboard and get run over by a car. As the driver panicked and continued to drive, Chavez was dragged underneath the vehicle and felt all his bones begin to break. Chavez ended up damaging

’80s classic arrives as stage musical BY Victoria Pereira The Daily Wildcat

“Flashdance: The Musical” has come to Arizona as part of its national tour and opens tonight in Centennial Hall with music, dancing and an inspiring story. An adaptation of the wildly popular 1983 film, “Flashdance: The Musical” is the story of Alex Owens, a Pittsburgh steel mill welder by day and bar dancer by night. While trying to fulfill her dream of becoming a professional dancer, she struggles with conflict, finds romance and develops meaningful friendships — all of which help her on her journey. The timeless story was a hit when it first premiered as a film about 30 years ago, earning over $90 million in the U.S. box office alone. Two songs from the film, “Flashdance… What a Feeling” and “Maniac,” reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 music list in 1983, and the soundtrack was also No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. The iconic water dance scene has been referenced countless times in pop culture since the movie was released, and “Flashdance” has become a film nostalgic parents and teenagers can enjoy together. The musical essentially tells the same story, but in a very different way. Not only are there 16 new songs, but there are added scenes that allow for more story development and audience insights. “They were able to take the characters deeper, and you get to know them more than you would from the film,” said Heidi

Although stressful at times, the production of the musical is something Friese said she enjoys; one of her favorite moments on set came during a technical rehearsal of the water dance scene. After practicing the scene for weeks without actually adding the water, each cast and crew member was called to watch the first test of the completed scene. “Every single cast member had their phones out recording it, and everyone was just screaming because it was so exciting,” Friese said. “Still, to this day, the whole cast is in the wings every night watching the water dance.” Everyone involved in the production has been given the opportunity to breathe new life into an iconic piece of ’80s pop culture. Audience members — from people who saw the film in theatres in their youth to teens experiencing it for the first time — are guaranteed to enjoy the play and be inspired by the story it tells.

iggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) was a Hollywood movie star known for his mega-blockbuster superhero franchise “Birdman,” which is just a few letters away from “Batman,” the mantle Keaton himself took up some 25 years ago. With his money, popularity and youth all dwindling away from him, the wizened Riggan has decided to forego the easy money grab of a “Birdman 4” to establish himself as a legitimate artist by putting on a Broadway adaptation of Raymond Carver’s “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.” His last-ditch career renaissance has a multitude of volatile personalities swirling about, pushing, pulling, and either threatening to derail or save his production. In a delicious instance of casting where art imitates life, Edward Norton plays Mike Shiner, a theater actor whose extreme methods pose a threat to Riggan’s directing. Norton is notorious for imposing his own creative stamp on films beyond his position as an actor, wresting the creative reins away from directors and studios — and his Shiner is an over-the-top, hilarious rendition of this trait. Then there’s Emma Stone as Sam, Riggan’s neglected daughter who’s fresh out of rehab. Stone, like all good actors, has the range to at once be quiet and sincere, sitting contemplatively atop a New York rooftop, and loud and confrontational, calling out her father for his delusions. Zach Galifianakis plays Riggan’s agent/lawyer/producer, Jake, a man frantically plugging up the holes in the production, trying to keep the ship afloat. This is a funny Galifianakis, though not in “The Hangover” sense. Finally, the person that has the greatest chance of bringing the whole thing crashing down is none other than Riggan himself. His self-doubt manifests itself in the voice of Birdman, a deep, masculine Siren song, teasing how easy it would be to don the mask again and be beloved among the masses. Keaton navigates this complex role with expertise, bringing out all of Riggan’s various traits: offkilter humor, earnest desperation, hubris and alienation. The balance has to be just right among these

elements, or the character would risk turning into an unrealistic caricature. Apart from the voice inside his head, Riggan imagines himself as flying and controlling things with his mind. These aren’t portrayed as dream sequences Riggan snaps out of; they flow into an uninterrupted reality. In a master stroke by director Alejandro González Iñárritu and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, what insulates this subjectivity is how nearly the entire film is presented in what appears to be a single continuous shot. The first edit I saw comes with roughly 15 minutes left of its 119-minute run time. This makes for a seamless experience where both audience members and characters never seem to leave the confines of the St. James Theatre. Time becomes hyperbolic; first rehearsal, opening night, and all the chaos and breakdowns in-between happen over the course of unbroken “real time.” For instance, an actor getting hit in the head, desperation in finding his replacement, Shiner becoming available, and Shiner rewriting Riggan’s script right in front of him are all events that

happen right up against each other. The camera, sometimes gliding, sometimes careening, goes from interaction to interaction between each live-wire character. All the while, there’s a kinetic, spastic percussion score playing inside Riggan’s mind, which drives the characters forward as they stride the halls. The 2002 film “Russian Ark” is another example of an extreme long take, with its 90-minute running time told via one continuous shot. That film is a stately move through Russian history, but, in “Birdman,” the animals are let loose around the vessel of the St. James. This is a movie of pure energy. For Iñárritu, Lubezki and the cast — embarking on a journey of telling a feature-length story through a challenging, ludicrous, single-take conceit — there couldn’t be a better example of the unexpected virtue of ignorance.

Bio textbook politics a new low in Ariz. BY Elizabeth Hannah The Daily Wildcat

n a blatant act of censorship, the Gilbert Public Schools Governing Board voted on Oct. 28 to remove a page from “Campbell Biology: Concepts and Connections,” a widely used biology textbook. The page in question discusses pregnancy prevention methods, including birth control and condoms. It also contains information regarding morning-after pills and abortion-inducing drugs. Members of the majority in the 3-2 decision claimed the page violated Arizona law, which states, “No school district or charter school may allow any presentation time or furnish any materials to pupils as part of any instruction that does not give preference encouragement and support to childbirth and adoption as preferred options to elective abortion.” They further argued that, since Gilbert Public Schools already offer sexual education classes, the textbook page was not necessary. Board President Daryl Colvin, who did not respond to a request to discuss the situation, noted in a public statement that “there is nothing natural about abortion,” and, therefore, it should not be introduced in a biology textbook that covers “natural processes.” What an astute observation by Colvin. Perhaps, then, biology textbooks should also omit discussion of other “unnatural” procedures, such as vasectomies. Maybe they should exclude information about subjects such as antibiotics and genetic cloning, both of which are products of human innovation as opposed to natural bodily functions. Unfortunately, Colvin’s ignorance represents just the tip of the iceberg in terms of problems with the board’s decision. For example, it appears that the Governing Board didn’t actually read ARS 15-115, the law it used to justify censorship. Nowhere does ARS 15-115 suggest instructional materials cannot discuss abortion, nor does it mandate that biology textbooks ignore the existence of contraceptive methods. Significantly, the Campbell Biology textbook never implies abortion is preferable to adoption; it simply describes contraception and abortion in terms of biological processes. “Requirements for sexual health education are outlined in the Administrative Code R7-2-303,” said Kate Thomas, Community Sexuality Educator for Planned Parenthood Arizona. “The State Board of Education has determined that sexual health education materials used in public schools in Arizona need to openly state that abstinence from sexual intercourse is the only method for avoiding pregnancy that is 100 percent effective, and stress that students should abstain from sexual intercourse until they are mature adults.” The page in question openly explains that the only guaranteed way to avoid pregnancy is abstinence, thus seeming to observe state requirements. Furthermore, it seems painfully obvious the board did not make its decision with the best interest of students in mind. Preventing students from receiving accurate biological information about sexual health constitutes a public health hazard by leaving them susceptible to incomplete or misinformed data. And, as board member Jill Humphereys pointed out in her dissent, presenting students with an incomplete textbook will only cause them to wonder why a page was removed. (Humphreys was willing to sit for an interview, requesting to wait until after Election Day.) Lily Tram, also a member of the minority, voted against the decision because she didn’t feel the district had investigated the matter thoroughly enough. “From my point of view,” Tram explained, “I think we should have directed our superintendent to look at this further. Nobody ever requested to see any additional materials or lesson plans that are given to students.” Tram suggested that removing the textbook page could have been avoided entirely. “It is possible that adding supplemental information to the curriculum could have solved all of this,” Tram said. Board member Staci Burk did not respond to a comment request. Board member Julie Smith responded affirmatively to a comment request, but suggested that most information regarding the decision could be obtained from public statements. Disturbingly, the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian nonprofit that also opposes same-sex marriage, heavily influenced the Governing Board’s decision. The Scottsdale-based group works to defend conservative values, not protect students, and it should not have been involved in the textbook decision whatsoever. Ultimately, the decision by Gilbert Public Schools to censor pages from one of its textbooks represents a classic display of the anachronistic, backward thinking that has come to characterize public education in Arizona. — Elizabeth Hannah is a neuroscience & cognitive science sophomore.

leading up to Halloween, that notorious day when some white people feel entitled to dress as their favorite ethnocultural stereotypes. I single out white people, because whiteness continues as a benchmark of “normalcy” in the contemporary power structure. It was a good thing, I thought, that the Daily Wildcat put this story on the front page. Then, I turned to page four and my mood changed. Here, a large cartoon featured the “U.S.-Mexico border” literally being overrun by human figures fleeing into the desert of the U.S. All of the figures are men, and most have wide, crooked grins on their faces and are wearing crumpled, dirty-looking work clothes. One appears in midair, as if enjoying the playful flight over the border. And yes, a few of these nameless figures have mustaches as they either run through a crack in the border wall or pop up through a hole in the ground before heading into the desert of rocks and cacti in the distance; there are no decomposing corpses in the image, of course. If anyone who read the front-page story did not understand the criticism made by MEChA about racial inequality and how representation plays a crucial role in its reproduction, they only needed to turn to the cartoon on page four for another example of everyday racism that resonates with the incident at Delta Delta Delta. Much could be said about the cartoon.

In response to “Group protests sorority over ‘culturally-insensitive’ costumes,” by Meghan Fernandez (Oct. 28) Last week’s front-page story of the Oct. 28 issue caught my eye: The headline “Our culture is not a costume” was accompanied by a photograph of someone writing that phrase on the sidewalk with chalk. The story covered a recent action by the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán in response to an offensive incident outside the Delta Delta Delta sorority house in which several individuals were dressed in sombreros and fake mustaches and were “dancing very inappropriately,” according to one witness. The witness, Angie Loreto, a UA graduate student and member of MEChA, then organized others to confront the sorority. Commendable, I thought, that MEChA took action and the Daily Wildcat provided prime coverage. Actions like these are required as part of the ongoing struggle for justice in a society marked by white supremacy in its myriad manifestations. MEChA’s action should obviously be commended. The front-page coverage by the Daily Wildcat also seemed commendable, especially in the days

Democrats.” In 2012, the House Republican leader in Pennsylvania, Mike Turzai, said publicly that his state’s voter ID law would “allow [Gov. Mitt] Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania.” And in Texas, Greg Abbott, who is on the gubernatorial ballot today, argued as Texas attorney general that “[the Texas Legislature’s] redistricting decisions were designed to increase the Republican Party’s electoral prospects at the expense of the Democrats. It is perfectly constitutional for a Republicancontrolled legislature to make partisan districting decisions, even if there are incidental effects on minority voters who support Democratic candidates.” That should terrify you. That should anger you. What right do state officials have to say that certain groups of people aren’t entitled to contribute to the governance of their communities? My vote and your vote and my grandmother’s vote are not partisan softballs. Our elected representatives shouldn’t get to decide whether my vote should be counted; they should be competing to earn that vote. And if this is what they’re going to use it for, they can count on my vote going elsewhere during today’s election.

Most obvious, though, is its failure to attend to the complexities of migration — migrant deaths in the desert, for instance, and the many structural causes of international migration in the first place — while reproducing a problematic image of who the migrants are and the struggles they face. Finding the cartoon in the same issue as the story on MEChA’s action illustrates just how widespread racist representations are in society today. Cartoons send complex messages and are therefore political in a way that goes beyond the words used in the cartoon, criticizing President Barack Obama’s immigration policies in this case. Dressing as the infamous “Mexican man” Halloween costume commits the same kind of violence as the cartoon portrayal of nameless and standardized bodies flooding across the border. These representations help enable the oppression of people of color and migrants whose bodies are valued only as cheap labor, but are also dispensable as beings left to die in the desert in horrific numbers. We must learn to connect the dots between representation — cartoons and costumes — and real-world oppression, real socioeconomic disparities and ongoing inequality. — Jacob Miller, geography graduate student

POLICE BEAT BY ARIELLA NOTH

The Daily Wildcat

The Pen Thief

A woman was arrested for shoplifting from the UA Bookstore on Oct. 20. A University of Arizona Police Department officer was dispatched to the Harvill building in reference to a woman who would not stop for loss prevention staff. The officer located the woman and a staff member outside of the building. The loss prevention employee informed the officer she had taken several packs of pens and exited the store without payment. He said he believed she hid the items in a women’s restroom in Harvill. The woman was read her Miranda rights, and she said she understood and agreed to answer the officer’s questions. The officer asked for her account of what happened at the bookstore. She said she picked up a few packs of pens, walked around in the store and put the pens down in the clothing area. She consented to a search of her backpack, in which no pens were located. The loss prevention officer said she was seen outside the store with the pens. Another officer arrived and located three pen packages in a restroom trashcan. The woman admitted to taking the pens and said she did so because she didn’t have her credit card to pay for them. She was arrested for shoplifting and was advised not to return to the bookstore or could be cited for trespassing.

Apples to apples

Two UAPD officers were dispatched to the Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall on Oct. 22 in reference to an odor of marijuana coming from a room. The officers met with the resident assistant who said he was walking in the courtyard and could smell the odor of burning marijuana. He said as he looked around, he noticed someone looking through the window blinds of a room. He walked up to the hallway of that room where he found the smell coming from the door frame. The smell was also noticeable when the officer walked to the room’s door frame. The officer knocked on the door, and a woman who said she was a resident of the room answered. There was another woman sitting down, who said she was also a resident. Upon entering the room, the officer could still smell the marijuana odor. The officer told the woman who answered the door he was there because of the smell. He asked her if there was marijuana in the room, and she said yes. She reached into her trashcan and pulled out a clear plastic baggie containing marijuana. The officer asked the other resident of the room if she had any marijuana, and she said, “No.” The officer read the woman who answered the door her Miranda rights, and she said she understood. She told the officer she was the only one who smoked marijuana and not her roommate. She admitted to smoking marijuana in the room by using an apple. The officer asked where the apple was, and she said it was in the trashcan. The officer found a red apple with a hole poked into the side of it and a hole poked into the top to use as the bowl. There was burnt and unburnt marijuana residue inside. The woman was informed she was being diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Delightfully Awkward by Elizabeth Robertson

Q What is a lethal

amount of alcohol?

A. concentration (BAC) which would cause death from alcohol

The term “lethal dose” is used to describe the blood alcohol

poisoning in half of the population. That lethal dose is .45% BAC. This means that 50% of people would die from alcohol poisoning at that level. The other 50% would die if they were either below or above that amount. There have been cases of death reported at lower than .40 % BAC as well as survivors with a BAC over .5%. This makes the over-consumption of alcohol a very risky gamble. Frequent causes of such high BAC among college students are binge drinking, consuming shots, and playing drinking games over a short amount of time. What makes these drinking styles especially dangerous is that a person can often drink a fatal amount before losing consciousness. Their BAC keeps on rising as alcohol continues to be absorbed in their blood stream. A person “sleeping it off” may actually still be in danger even after they stopped drinking. So, how easy is it to get to a lethal dose? A 120 lb. woman could achieve a .45% BAC if she drank 12 standard drinks over two hours. 140 lb. man would reach the same BAC after consuming 17 standard drinks.

The good news is that death from alcohol poisoning is extremely easy to prevent by never over-consuming alcohol in the first place. No one plans to die by drinking alcohol any more than they drink to intentionally get a hangover, throw up, drunk-text, have regrets, and harm themselves or another. Staying in your Sweet Spot (.05%BAC or under) will result in safer and more satisfying alcohol experiences. No more than 1 drink/hour for women and 2 drinks or less/hour for men. If you choose to drink alcohol, make sure you do the alcohol and that the alcohol doesn’t do you – stay in control and have a plan.

Singer Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in 2011.

6-2, 7-5. In doubles play, James and Boudaroua had put two consecutive wins together to reach the semifinals before losing to UNLV duo seniors Ace Matias and Denys Pume. “For these guys, it is all about playing matches and gaining experience,” UA men’s head coach Tad Berkowitz said in a press release. “They all have been working extremely hard both on and off the court. Now, it’s a matter of putting it all together and getting in some great competition this weekend.” Overall, the tournament was a way for the team to bond and earn more experience. Up next for the men will be the Dickie V Clay Court Classic and the Jack Kramer Club Invitational in Sarasota, Fla., and Los Angeles, Calif., respectively, on Friday. The Arizona women’s tennis team will conclude its fall season at the San Diego State Invitational on Friday.

For the women, senior Kristina Aubert was once again the top finisher, coming in 32nd in the 6,000 with a time of 21:06. “Kristina was probably a little bit less than what she has been doing,” Li said. “She’s sort of hit a rough patch right now. The last couple of races haven’t been great for her.” Junior Molly Callahan was the second Wildcat to cross the finish line at 34th place, followed by senior Amanda Russell in 39th. The

While senior safety Jared Tevis called the targeting call on senior safety Jourdon Grandon “ridiculous,” Rodriguez didn’t dispute Grandon’s ejection. “I don’t think it was a vicious intent or anything of that nature, but if you look at the letter of the law … the crown of the helmet [was] used in a tackle,” Rodriguez said.

ARIZONA SOPHOMORE LINEBACKER Scooby Wright III (33) tackles UCLA redshirt junior quarterback Brett Hundley (17) during Arizona’s 17-7 loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl. Wright III was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for the second consecutive week.

After a 17-7 defeat, Rich Rodriguez said the team is focused on Colorado BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez generally says he needs to watch the film after games to give assessments, but on Monday, he said the same thing he did on Saturday. After No. 21 Arizona (6-2, 3-2 Pac12 Conference) lost 17-7 to then-No. 25 UCLA on Saturday, Rodriguez said their execution was poor. On Monday, after watching the film, he said it again. “It wasn’t a lot of fun for anybody to watch the film, but we watched it, identified our mistakes, had a good walk through last night and [will] move on to Colorado,” Rodriguez said. “I think our guys are very conscientious, and we’ll have a very good week of practice.” Redshirt freshman quarterback

Anu Solomon was 18-for-48 for 175 yards, a career low, through the air, with a touchdown and an interception. “We didn’t take advantage of the opportunities we had when Anu was able to get the ball to us; we dropped a lot of passes as a receiving corps,” UA sophomore receiver Samajie Grant said. Arizona averaged 40.6 points per game going into the matchup. When asked if he wanted to see Solomon run more, Rodriguez said he scrambled pretty well on Saturday. “I think he is elusive enough,” Rodriguez said. “He’s not going to win any foot races and outrun people, but he’s athletic enough to get some positive things, and I thought he picked his moments well.” Arizona averaged 3.2 yards per play, its lowest average since the Wildcats averaged 2.1 per play in the 33-0 loss to Nebraska in the 2009 Holiday Bowl. “We’re not good enough to play poorly and win, and we could play well and still not win,” Rodriguez said. “I think that’s life in the Pac-

12. Eventually, I want to get to [the] point where we’re so good that we can have moments like we did Saturday and still pull out the win.”

Scooby snacks on more awards

Another week, another collection of accolades for sophomore linebacker Scooby Wright III. On Monday, the Pac-12 announced that Wright III won Pac12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row. “He’s been our most consistent player, period,” Rodriguez said. Against UCLA, he had a careerhigh 19 tackles, 11 of which were solo, a career-high 4.5 tackles for loss and a career-high three sacks. The 19 tackles are the most for a Wildcat this century. Wright III is one of 20 semifinalists for the Chuck Bednarik Award for the most outstanding defensive player. He is also one of 12 semifinalists for the Rotary Lombardi Award. Two other Pac-12 players are semifinalists. The Rotary Lombardi Award is for down linemen and linebackers who

The Arizona Wildcats ended a six-game losing streak as they split a two-game series against the Colorado Golden Buffaloes (7-3-0). “Let’s make no mistake about it: We needed this win,” UA hockey head coach Chad Berman said. A stellar performance by freshman goalie Austin Wilson helped Arizona defeat Colorado 3-1 on Saturday night. During his debut, Wilson saved 29 of 30 shots on his first start for the Wildcats. “I wanted to come in feeling confident during my first college start, but then I got scored on during the second shot of the game, so there was some doubt,” Wilson said. “But, I rebounded at the end of the first period there, and I think I played pretty well.” Assisted by Shane Gleason, Robbie Wilkinson scored a goal early into the second period to give Arizona a 2-1 lead. The Wildcats excelled on the penalty kill, not giving up a single goal in five chances. The Wildcats were forced to rely heavily on their penalty kill unit throughout the game, as they racked up 20 penalty minutes. After intercepting a pass from a Colorado player, Jason Effertz hit a dagger in the net for the Wildcats in the last 44 seconds of the game to seal Arizona’s 3-1 victory. Friday night, Arizona fell to Colorado 3-2 during their third straight overtime. Arizona forward Jake Campbell scored his first goal of his collegiate career to tie the game 1-1. Dylan Carter returned Friday for the Wildcats after being out for two weeks with a hamstring injury. Carter scored the equalizer to go

line up within five yards of the line of scrimmage. Wright III is the only FBS player in the top 20 in tackles, tackles for loss, sacks and forced fumbles. He is No. 1 in the nation in forced fumbles, with five. On offense, sophomore receiver Cayleb Jones, for the week of Sept. 22, is the only other Wildcat to win Pac-12 Player of the Week this year.

Rich Rod: targeting calls on point

While UA fans were upset about the Pac-12 officials’ targeting calls on Saturday night, Rodriguez was not. At UCLA, a Bruin knocked UA senior receiver Austin Hill out of the game, but Rodriguez said it was a clean hit. “It didn’t look like helmet to helmet,” Rodriguez said. “It didn’t look like he launched into him, too. It looked like a clean hit, and Austin was bobbling the ball at the time, so I didn’t have any problem with it.” When asked how Hill was doing, Rodriguez said the injury report will be released on Thursday as usual.

UA cross country finishes eighth BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA GOALIE Austin Wilson (33) makes one of many saves during Arizona’s 3-1 win against the University of Colorado at the Tucson Convention Center Arena on Saturday. The Wildcats went 1-2 over the weekend but ended a six-game losing streak on Saturday.

into overtime. Colorado forward Dak Dice leads the Buffaloes in scoring. Dice scored once during regulation and then sealed the victory for Colorado as he put another one in the net during overtime. Thursday night, Arizona skated off the ice after another defeat in overtime at the hands of Colorado State(8-5-0). Often referred to as the worst lead in hockey, Arizona trailed the Rams 2-0 seconds into the third period. Alex Nespor and Mike Adamowicz tied the game in the third period to move into overtime. Nespor’s goal resulted in crashing the net and creating intense traffic in front of the net. Berman said the key to success on offense is creating traffic in front of the opposing team’s goalie and getting in good position to capitalize on the rebound shot.

“We had zero shots in the first two periods, in front of their net, inside the crease area,” Berman said, “until the third period [when] we had four shots in front of their net, which resulted in two goals.” Several power play chances opened the door for Arizona to tie the game, but the Wildcats were unable to capitalize during the oneman advantage. Arizona went 1 for 9 during power plays. “We have to learn not to lose,” Adamowicz said. “We’re learning to lose, and we’re finding ways to lose. We need to find a way to start wining and scoring more.” No. 16 Arizona (4-6-3) will host Michigan State on Friday when the puck drops at 7:30 p.m. — Follow Zoe Wolkowitz @zowolko

The Arizona men’s and women’s cross country teams both finished in eighth place at the Pac-12 Conference Championships in Oakland, Calif., on Friday. Facing a number of ranked schools, the Wildcats received strong performances from their top runners. However, Arizona’s times were too slow as a team to earn a top-place finish on either side. Colorado won the men’s race while Oregon took first on the women’s side. “Some people ran great, and then some people didn’t do well,” UA cross country head coach James Li said in a press release. “We really don’t see the team improving when that happens. I’m glad that some of the kids did really well, but it’s a disappointing Pac-12 finish. We thought we could be better and beat some of those teams. We are just running out of time this year in trying to put everything together.” Senior Sam Macaluso was the top finisher in the men’s 8,000-meter race with a 24:23 time, good enough for 29th place. Right behind him was sophomore Collins Kibet. The next two finishers were senior Kenji Bierig at 41st overall and freshman Bailey Roth at 50th. Sophomore Matthew Beer was the final scorer for the men, with a 71stplace finish. “Sam did well, and our top four guys did OK — nothing too spectacular,” Li said. “If that fifth guy could come a bit closer, we would be in good shape, but we were just way
