2012 graduates face healthier job market

By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

Employers could hire more graduates from the class of 2012 than the class of 2011, according to a new report.

Employers surveyed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers said they plan to hire 9.5 percent more graduates from the class of 2012 than were hired from the class of 2011. This could be because

employers are thinking of their workforce on a more long-term basis, said Eileen McGarry, director of UA Career Services.

McGarry explained that, because a large portion of the workforce is starting to retire due to the more settled economy, employers need a “pipeline” of new creativity and talent that can be furnished through college hires. This seems apparent through Career Services resources

alone — its most recent Career Fair saw about 5 percent more employers in attendance, and there were 55 percent more postings on Wildcat JobLink this August than the year before. McGarry also said that Career Services saw almost double the amount of resume referrals, which occur when an employer contacts the service to request the resumes of qualified candidates.

“Employers are thinking of graduates

as positions open,” she added.

Salaries for those in the class of 2012 may also increase. The survey showed that this year’s class of graduates will make on average about 6 percent more than their 2011 counterparts. While the projected increases may bring hope to some students, others are still concerned about finding a job after graduation.

able to get online. The same symptoms persisted with isolation from mobile phones.

“The media device itself is like a friend,” Moeller said, adding that most students would be lost without their smartphones. “Smartphones are like a Swiss army tool; they are a device that does everything.”

The Kaiser study showed that 51 percent of heavy media users, those who use above the average of eight hours a day, retain good grades of A’s and B’s.

The remaining 49 percent receive fair or poor grades, below B’s.

The Arizona Refugee Connection will help raise money today to build a school in Abul, Sudan, with its second annual “Give Back Kickback.”

The event, which will take place at Main Gate Square in Geronimo Plaza from 5 to 8 p.m., will have a variety of refugee performances, silent auctions, informational booths, handmade crafts and activities.

“There is going to be a lot of different things going on and should be a good turnout,” said Max Goshert, a marketing senior and philanthropy chairman of the Arizona Refugee Connection.

The Arizona Refugee Connection is a social responsibility project for students in the Eller College of Management. Cindi Gilliland, a management and organizations professor in Eller, started the project after doing some of her own volunteer work in the refugee community. She said she thought it could be a good idea to get students involved.

“There was a real opportunity for students to develop some real world business functional experience while at the same time effecting positive change in the community,” Gilliland said.

She added that there are more than 10,000 refugees living in Pima County.

“There is a real role for university students to assist refugee resettlement agencies who welcome newer seekers of the American Dream,” Gilliland said.

At the Refugee Connection’s first “Give Back Kickback” event last year, the organization raised $16,000 to build a hand-pump well in the middle

Study says entertainment media could be addictive Children, teens spend 8 hours a day online, according to survey

By Stewart McClintic DAILY WILDCAT

Teens and college students may be addicted to electronic media, according to a recent study.

The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit research organization focused on major health care issues, conducted a study showing that children and teens today spend an average of eight hours a

day using entertainment media.

Entertainment media includes the use of the Internet, particularly social networking sites like Facebook, and devices such as smartphones.

Yet because of multitasking on the Internet, students are able to pack the equivalent of 11 hours of use into an eight-hour period.

Susan Moeller, a journalism professor at the University of Maryland, conducted a similar study and found that most students showed signs of withdrawal when separated from electronic media. She said students would often feel anxious, depressed and even lonely when they were not

A UA team’s device-in-progress could revolutionize the way glaucoma patients check their eye pressure.

Eniko Enikov, an associate professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering, is leading a UA team developing a handheld instrument, called a tactile tonometer, which will measure an eyeball’s thickness and infer its pressure. Elevated eye pressure can lead to glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness.

The eye produces fluid to keep its tissues alive. If there’s an imbalance between fluid production and drainage, pressure starts to build up. Treatment

ranges from puncturing the cornea to release fluid to using eye drops, Enikov said.

Measuring eye pressure at the doctor’s office forces patients to numb their eyes with liquid and have their corneas flattened with a sterile instrument, said Gholam Peyman, professor of basic medical sciences at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. The tactile tonometer they’re developing might only have to be applied to an eyelid, as the sensors will do the rest.

Occupy Wall Street hits 2 months MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

NEW YORK — Occupy Wall Street vowed to mark the two-month anniversary of its protests with a “day of action” Thursday, beginning with a march to the heart of the financial district — the New York Stock Exchange — that drew hundreds of chanting, sign-waving supporters to lower Manhattan.

By 8 a.m., demonstrators had gathered near Zuccotti Park, their former encampment, chanting “All day, all week, Occupy Wall Street!” as they prepared to march the few blocks to the stock exchange. They vowed to later occupy about 16 subway stations before carrying their protest to Foley Square outside Manhattan’s courthouses.

But scores of police blanketed the area near Zuccotti Park, setting the scene for possible clashes similar to those that have led to hundreds of arrests in past demonstrations.

Tensions were especially high in the wake of Tuesday morning’s surprise police raid of Zuccotti Park, which dismantled Occupy Wall Street’s twomonth-old tent city there. A judge has ruled that the city had the right to prevent marchers from camping there, forcing protesters to spend their nights elsewhere.

Kristin Gardner, 46, a former teacher, carried a sign that read “40,000 in student loans where’s my bailout.”

She said she didn’t know what would become of the movement, but added, “I hope we make a statement to our government that changes the focus of

of Abul. According to Goshert, before the well was built, the women of the village had to walk five miles to gather water from a trench.

“For the first time they have clean water,” Goshert said. “Before this there was a lot of death and ailment in the city because the only water they had was from a muddy river.”

This year, the club wants to continue helping the village by raising money to build a school for the boys and the girls of the community. There is currently no proper school facility in the 2,000-person village.

Travis Delly, a psychology freshman, said he believes the Internet is more of a tool than a hindrance in his studies. He said he spends around five to six hours on the Internet every day.

“Sometimes it (the Internet) is a hindrance. For example, I don’t want to do my homework so I’ll just StumbleUpon for hours, but sometimes I’ll use the Internet for good,” he said. “Like I’ll use it to write a research paper at home rather than going to the library for 8 hours.”

“able-bodied” students who can reason quantitatively.

Baygents said the math and science skills that engineering students often have can be helpful in both engineering jobs, which he said are generally “highly compensated,” and in jobs outside the field. Engineering degree programs locally and nationally are working to improve “engineering soft skills,” including teamwork and analyzing problems in social and economic contexts, Baygents said.

“Engineers are broader thinkers than they were years ago, and that’s more valuable to employees,” he said.

“Employers want students who are good at analyzing and solving problems, and engineers tend to fit that bill, whether it’s in an engineering job or not.”

Students should become involved and engaged early in their college careers to boost their chances of becoming hired, McGarry said.

She explained that students should seek career-related experience, like research, clubs or certain class projects, in addition to getting involved with anything that builds leadership skills. Internships are also a good way to do this, she said, because they play a large role in the hiring process, and many employers use their internship programs as a fast lane to becoming a fulltime hire.

“Get engaged that sophomore year so you’re internship ready, get polished and know how to network in an interview,” McGarry said.

“I’m very scared to find a job … It’s a scary thought to be thrown out into the real world trying to find something that suits you, while there may not be any options at all,” said Amanda Rodenberger, a sociology senior.

Rodenberger said she would consider graduate school after working for a few years, but because it is “much more expensive” than her undergraduate education, she could not afford it on top of her student loans. Most of her other friends, like communication senior Priscilla Salcedo, have similar concerns, she said.

Salcedo explained that although she is already preparing her resume for a post-graduation job search, she is anxious about finding a job because her brother, who graduated in June, “just barely” found a job and will be starting in January.

“I’m nervous,” she said. “It’s nerveracking and competitive.”

However, she said the projected hiring and salary increases for this year’s graduates are comforting.

“It’s good to know that not everyone is getting rejected,” Salcedo added.

The survey also showed that engineering students from the class of 2012 will make $1,688 more than engineering students from the class of 2011. According to Jim Baygents, the associate dean of academic affairs in the College of Engineering, this could be due to an increase in demand for

glaucoma, but only half know it, according to the Glaucoma Research Foundation.

“Home tonometry has been referred by some ophthalmologists as the ‘holy grail’ of glaucoma,” Toker said. “Our team’s goal is to design, develop and commercialize just such a device and help hundreds of thousands of glaucoma patients successfully manage this disease.”

Commercializing the product is essential, but Enikov said making a product that helps people is the top priority.

“We want to know if it manages glaucoma better,” Enikov said. “If over time it shows that by people using something like this, it extends the length that they can use their eyes, that’ll be success.”

HASHING

IT OUT

In response to Twitter’s trending topics #ladieswewantanswers and #menwewantanswers, the Arts & Life staff provides some insight into how men and women think:

#menwewantanswers Why do guys act different in front of their friends?

A girlfriend serves a different purpose than a guy’s friends.

The connection between a man and his girlfriend is more intimate. Ideally, when alone, the guy will be more open with his feelings, sweeter, more willing to be, for lack of a better word, “couple-y.” Around his boys, there’s a certain requirement for machismo. That doesn’t mean he has to be a complete meat-head Neanderthal, but there’s a chance he might act like more of an idiot in your eyes.

Why don’t you ever compliment us when you know we took hours to look good for you?

There comes a point in a relationship when giving a compliment loses its effect. The girl doesn’t notice it, but men do. In the beginning when a man says something nice to his girl, her eyes light up and she truly seems flattered.

Eventually, that genuine gratitude becomes a flat “thanks.”

But then, out of nowhere, a girl decides she misses hearing more compliments and starts to get upset, leaving men screwed (in a bad way).

If you know a girl has a boyfriend, why still try to get with her?

Cheating is bad, plain and simple, but unless there’s a ring, a guy still technically has a chance, no matter how slim.

Men also don’t like to rule any options out, and can be very determined in their pursuit. Now, some guys take it too far, but subtle flirting gives the impression of interest, leaving the possibility of a future romance open.

Is a girl who’s ambitious off-putting to guys?

It’s not the ambition itself, just that it implies a busy work life — and while women should have whatever career they want, some guys might not want their girls more dedicated to their careers than to their men. Overwhelming ambition is a bit of a red flag. No ambition, however, is worse.

Why do guys scratch their balls in public?

Girls adjust their bras in public. Just because guys like breasts and girls may not like balls shouldn’t be a factor. Yes, some men are too overt with it, but most try and be stealthy. There are a lot of different ways a man can feel uncomfortable because of

his junk and sometimes there’s no waiting. When nature calls, the call must be answered.

Why can’t you have one girl and one girl only?

If a girl has to ask herself this, she’s dating the wrong type of guy. Either the guy is a douche or he isn’t the relationship type. Find someone who is fine with one girl. They’re out there, everywhere.

Why don’t you ever say how you feel?

Men are more prone to action and that’s how their feelings are expressed. After a long day of school or work, when a man comes home, sits down and zones out watching TV, his actions say he doesn’t feel like talking. On the other hand, when he spontaneously buys his girl a gift, that means he loves her. In a strong relationship, words aren’t always necessary, no matter how nice they are to hear.

Is it the size of the boat or the motion of the ocean?

Both. It doesn’t have to be the Titanic, but it has to fit in the harbor. As for the motion part, plain and simple, sex isn’t good for anyone if you don’t know what you’re doing, no matter how big the boat.

Why is it when I give you a specific time to get ready, you take 30 more minutes to get ready?

Getting ready is a process. You should be glad your girlfriend tries to look good for you.

#ladieswewantanswers

How can you do that much shopping?

Why do you complain about all men being the same and when you do find the nice guy you make him your friend?

How can you endure childbirth, stilettos, etc., but a spider stops you in your tracks?

Even though we want a nice guy, we know that a particular person is best as a friend. Also, a relationship can completely ruin anything we have with that person. If we care enough about them, sometimes we don’t want to risk it.

Why do you take relationship advice from your single friend who can’t keep a man in the first place?

It’s not necessarily that we are taking advice from a single person, it’s more that we want someone to vent to about the relationship. Most likely, if a girl is “taking advice” from a single friend, she was already planning on doing whatever the advice was. Girls usually do not let one person’s opinion or suggestion sway them completely.

Why do you think Uggs are cute?

How can you watch that much sports?

Spiders are gross. We can overcome fears like falling in high heels or the pain of childbirth, but bugs are just disgusting. There is no overcoming that.

If Forever 21 closed down, what would you all do?

Thank God for H&M.

What exactly do you carry in those big purses?

I know all guys always wonder what is in a girl’s purse, but it is an unwritten rule to not look inside. Here is an exact inventory of the items in my purse right now: keys, day planner, iPod, camera, pen case, wallet, water bottle, computer charger, phone, gum, makeup bag and some “just in case” feminine products. Mystery solved.

We don’t. At least, I don’t. They are comfortable, warm and match pretty much everything. It’s like wearing sweats. It’s not necessarily fashionable, but it’s comfortable.

GAME FREAK

‘Immortals’ impresses ‘Just Dance’ gets in picture but not plot into a new groove

By Josh Weisman DAILY WILDCAT

As visually striking as it may be, it’s clear from the outset that “Immortals” is more concerned with looking pretty than it is with being entertaining, a disappointing fact given the immensity of the talent involved.

In his third feature to date, director Tarsem Singh (who, despite this latest effort, is still very much a visionary) has pieced together a film that proves to be more a series of slow-moving paintings than a narrative worth spending much time on.

At an hour and 50 minutes, “Immortals” carries too little regard for basic storytelling to justify itself, leaving us with a film that, for all its stylized brutality, is curiously boring to watch.

For fans of Singh’s work, it should come as no surprise that “Immortals” is a visual treat. The movie, about a young man’s quest to thwart a Cretan king’s declaration of war against the Olympians, is so beautifully rendered that it’s worth taking a minute to marvel at the sheer effort that must have gone into producing it. But as is par for the course with films like this, the wonderment wears off quickly.

Without an engaging story to latch onto, “Immortals” becomes a chore to watch long before the first sword is swung.

We open on Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), the aforementioned king of Crete, as he frees the Titans from their earthly prison using the Epirus Bow, a weapon created by the gods and hidden from the humans on Earth. These Titans, as mythology would have it, were imprisoned after a great war (dubbed “The Titanomachy”), and — to put it simply — are the only beings in the universe capable of overthrowing the gods. Going back in time, we then follow Hyperion’s crusade

to find this weapon, while joining the young slave Theseus (Henry Cavill) on his revenge-fueled quest to defeat him. Of course, the gods watch quietly over all of this, stepping in on occasion to help Theseus and his gang of misfits survive.

What truly hinders “Immortals” is its lack of consequence. For having vowed to never meddle in human affairs, the gods interfere frustratingly often, jumping down to save Theseus whenever they see fit and thus stripping the story of any gravity it may have otherwise possessed. This is the very worst sort of plot device; if the gods can step in and save our hero whenever they please — or furthermore, if they can simply kill Hyperion and prevent this whole story from even happening — then what is there to make us feel like Theseus is in any real danger?

It is not enough for the gods to say they’ll turn a blind eye to the humans. If we as an audience are

to care about Theseus’ struggle, they have to actually do it.

It is this absence of urgency that makes the film so uninteresting to watch. The battles, while visually appealing in their own right, arrive only after the story has managed to suffocate itself, making them feel tedious despite the obvious artistry behind them. One cannot help but be reminded of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” a film that suffered from a similar brand of monotony despite its bottomless reserve of first-rate effects.

All in all, “Immortals” is not a terrible film, just a tedious one, and as a fan of Singh’s, it’s difficult not to think it could have been much better than it is. While there’s certainly enough creativity on display to justify having faith in his future work, it’s still discouraging that a film so full of color can be so colorless.

UA leads AZ rivalry by thinnest of margins Storm Byrd Daily Wildcat

W

ith the Duel in the Desert football game this Saturday, the debate regarding school supremacy starts up once agian. The UA might be “Arizona’s first university,” but that doesn’t mean it’s the best.

Yes, all of the Wildcats here on campus know that nobody bears down like the Arizona, but the honest truth is our selfassurance in our dominance has led to complacency. The rivals to the north, Arizona State University, have been slowly but surely creeping up and siphoning off our excellence.

But fear not, for the Wildcats still hold the ground as the premier institution in the state.

How long Arizona holds that spot though, is arguably undetermined.

State budget cuts have changed the face of the UA. Slashed funding has forced the UA to seek alternative means to make ends meet.

Increasing the cap on the allowed percentage of out-of-state students admitted to the university “The UA cannot and tuition and continue to claim fee hikes have that it’s better harmed the UA. More and without actually more out-of-state doing better.” students, with higher tuition bills, have come to campus just as many students are leaving because they can’t hang with the college struggles or the financial ones. Our future is an unstable one, gaining relative traction with help from the out-of-state dollar.

But this has led to unsteady graduation and retention rates, while admission rates have slowly risen. As this occurs, the UA has come closer and closer to resembling the less than favorable foe in Phoenix.

According to U.S. News and World Report rankings, the UA carries a 34 percent four-year graduation rate and an unsettling 79 percent freshman retention rate. At the same time, ASU maintains a 32 percent four-year graduation rate and an 81 percent freshman retention rate. ASU is creeping up in national rankings overall. ASU is ranked 132 by U.S. News, while the UA is 124. The UA is the 59th best public university, and ASU is 65th.

Specifically speaking to colleges and areas of focus, the UA has always championed Eller College of Management and the engineering program, yet ASU now trumps Arizona in both, coming in at 27th and 44th respectively, while the UA is 63rd and 50th.

ASU is on the rise, ranked as the eighth best up-and-coming university, and saying that Arizona is better won’t always be good enough. The UA cannot continue to claim that it’s better without actually doing better.

Historically, the UA has been able to out-produce ASU due to higher acceptance standards (in 2010 UA acceptance rate was 75 percent while ASU has a 87 percent acceptance rate), and a higher total of research grants. But with more students coming in each year, funding alone won’t save the UA. Again, funding is being cut and the gap of endowment between the universities is shrinking each year. As of 2010, the UA’s endowment was near $480 million, while ASU’s was roughly $441 million. And the old system that used to give the UA more state funding per student is soon to be wiped away after the Arizona Board of Regents voted last September to increase ASU’s total funding per student. While the UA still receives the most state funding per student, ASU is quickly closing on the lead.

Who is let in, who stays and who graduates are all indicators of a college’s elitism and success. The elite ones distance themselves from their competitors and peers, while the rest remain stagnant.

Saturday’s football game isn’t the endall, be-all in determining which university is better, but it’s probably the best visual representation we have. In fact, it closely represents the reality of the situation, if you think about it.

While Arizona drubbed ASU in 2008, 31-10, the Sun Devils made the 2009 matchup close as they took a late field goal to win, 20-17.

Then, in 2010, even when it looked like the Wildcats were the better team by far, the Sun Devils woke them up. Arizona lost by the thinnest of margins and just like that it is the underdog. That’s how quickly it can happen, both on the football field and in academia.

If Arizona doesn’t wake up, the knownothings to the north will catch up, edge it out and then it’ll be nothing more than an afterthought.

Pulse of the Pac This week we’ve discussed Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ recovery, the Russell Pearce recall and ASUA’s inactivity. Meanwhile the rest of the Pac-12 touched on medical marijuana, McDonald’s and a weak GOP: The State Press Arizona State University

The Daily Barometer Oregon State University

The ongoing medical marijuana debate continues, and, like many other political arguments, it could benefit from a timeout for more reflection and research. As a registered Independent voter, I cast a “no” vote on Prop 203 last year because I was uncomfortable with marijuana …

The only experience I have with the substance is smelling its pungent odor near university residence halls.

There could be reason for voters and politicians to reconsider this issue because of the potential changes the regulated medical marijuana industry could create in our troubled economy and uneasy health care system … One of the major issues facing legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes lies in the plant’s longstanding subculture of recreational use.

For many, there is a disconnect between those who would like to try cannabis as a natural, gentler means of relief from debilitating diseases and conditions such as cancer, severe arthritis and PTSD and those who are looking for an easier way to get high … Medical marijuana marketers must work on creating more credibility through a stronger ethos that proves it is separate from marijuana subculture … Determining the disputed addictive qualities of THC, the active chemical in cannabis, must be researched in order for voters and politicians to trust the plant … Medical marijuana can become a reality if there is a sense of control over the drug. Knowledge can combat the notion that medical marijuana is a back door to complete legalization.

McDonald’s is one of the smartest businesses around. They play with our minds and make us slaves to the burger-flippin’ gods. The fast-food chain is a staple of American gluttony, one that has spread to other countries like some kind of plague.

We put McDonald’s on the same pedestal as baseball and apple pie (which they sell).

Yet, the restaurant uses Americans the same way a bridezilla uses her bridesmaids.

We are under Ronald’s big, blood red shoe as he pressures us to buy another burger…

Some people may notice that Ronald, the burger-loving clown, has disappeared from the spotlight, letting the restaurant appeal to the older audiences. Have fear — this new appeal is a giant net to catch the next generation in a trap. We will start bending to the power of McDonald’s and once we cannot say no to a McTasty, Ronald will reappear…I warn everyone about this plot now because McDonald’s has now launched its ultimate weapon of mass destruction: the McRib …It is all a power play, one that makes us realize who the dog and master is. Every time they bring the sandwich around, our leash gets shorter and shorter. Soon the sandwich will come back in return for favors (and not the kind Herman Cain asks for)

Daily Emerald University of Oregon

I don’t know how much longer I can subject myself to the pissing contest that is the Republican presidential field. Choosing between “old guard” Republicans like Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich and Tea Party favorites like Herman Cain and “Crazy Eyes” Bachmann makes one thing come to mind: Is this really the best group of candidates the Republicans can field? … Not that I lean toward Republican politics in the first place, but this is just a train wreck. Good for Jon Stewart, bad for the American public. What if one of these clowns actually gets elected? … First on the list is Texas Gov. Rick Perry, whose charming drawl can no longer save him from the factual errors he has made on the campaign trail and his laughable performance in all of the Republican debates …

Next in the lineup is Herman Cain, former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza. This man was the ‘flavor of the week’ as the pundits said. He claims to be a Washington outsider but not by choice … Bachmann needs little introduction, but at the risk of sounding like I’m making personal attacks on GOP hopefuls, she is a low-rent Sarah Palin with even less standing and no clue whatsoever on how to run the world’s most powerful nation …It looks as if the Republicans’ worst fear is on the horizon.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Playing the name game A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol near the Math building at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday when he noticed three people walking arm in arm on the sidewalk.

The woman in the middle was swaying side to side and a man and a woman were assisting her. The officer approached the group and noticed that the woman in the middle was slurring her speech. Her breath smelled strongly of alcohol. She told the officer she was 23 years old and was an Arizona resident, but not a UA student. The name and birthday she gave the officer did not turn up on any records. The woman then said “Sarah” is only a nickname and gave the officer a different name to check.

No record was found. The woman’s friends refused to give the woman’s name. When the officer told the woman she was under arrest, she admitted her real name and birthday. A records check revealed the woman was not yet 21 years old. She was arrested for minor in possession of alcohol and false reporting to a law enforcement officer. The woman was cited and released into the care of her friends.

Man trashes sign, gets cited A UAPD officer was driving north on Vine Avenue toward Fourth Street at 1:45 a.m. on Sunday when someone threw a temporary Parking and Transportation Services sign into the street. The sign hit the roadway and broke. There was only one person in the area, about 10 feet from the sign. The officer stopped and spoke to the man, who said he threw the sign out of frustration. The man explained he was frustrated and upset with multiple things, including his family, schoolwork and girls.

He told the officer he thought the sign was trash on the side of the road and said, “The garbage needed to be disposed of.” He said he didn’t mean for the sign to break or for it to go into the roadway. The man was cited and released for criminal damage.

Woman gets punch-drunk A UAPD officer went to Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall at 2:30 a.m. on Sunday in response to an extremely intoxicated woman. The woman was unresponsive and vomiting. Tucson Fire Department paramedics were evaluating the woman. The paramedics asked her if she drank alcohol and she said yes.

The officer tried to question the woman but she passed out.

The woman was transported to University Medical Center– University Campus.

The officer went to the medical center at 7 a.m. to follow up.

She said she had been at a large party at Sigma Chi fraternity house with her roommate and drank a few cups of punch she thought contained vodka. The woman said she didn’t think she drank too much and believed she had been “roofied.” She said she did not know how she made it back to her dorm or if her roommate had made it back. The woman was cited for minor in possession of alcohol.

The officer returned to the residence hall and spoke with the woman’s friends. One of the friends said she was surprised the woman had to be treated for extreme intoxication because she had seen her consume up to 15 shots at other parties and was still able to walk and talk. The friend said the woman had texted her around 1:45 a.m., so the group went back to the party to get her. They picked her up about a block from the fraternity house and brought her back to the dorm in a taxi. The friends told the officer they did not think the woman was drugged.

Arizona forward Solomon Hill surveys the defense on the fly in the Wildcats’ 81-72 victory against St. John’s in Madison Square Garden on Thursday. Hill led Arizona with 15 points, six rebounds and four assists, and his Wildcats will face the Mississippi State Bulldogs tonight in the finals of the 2K Sports Classic.

Arizona advances in New York Wildcats face tourney behind 3-point barrage Mississippi PREVIEW

State in 2K Sports Classic

By Alex Williams DAILY WILDCAT

Much has been made about Arizona’s lack of a go-to scorer this season.

The Wildcats didn’t need one in an 8172 win over St. John’s at Madison Square Garden on Thursday.

Seven different Arizona players knocked down a shot from behind the arc, and the Wildcats (4-0) hit a seasonhigh 14 3-pointers. They were also able to slow the Red Storm’s frenetic pace to advance to the championship game of the 2K Sports Classic. They’ll face Mississippi State today at 4:30 p.m.

Arizona trailed by six with nine minutes left in the game following a 15-2 St. John’s run, but went on a 16-2 run of its own to take a six-point lead with just over three minutes to play.

“I’m really proud of them,” head coach Sean Miller told ESPN after the game.

“Believe me, we have a long way to go to be a good team … but one thing you want to see is that fight. We’re here a long way from home … but we did it.”

Arizona swingman Kevin Parrom scored six points on 2-of-8 shooting in his second game of the season and first game in his hometown since a two-month stretch that saw both his grandmother die and his mother lose a two-year battle with breast cancer.

York to visit his mother in the hospital.

“I had different types of emotions,” Parrom told the media in New York. “It was just a matter of getting out on the floor and playing.”

Parrom knocked down his first shot attempt of the game, a 3-pointer about three minutes into the game, and took two charges on the defensive end of the floor.

Junior forward Solomon Hill led Arizona with 15 points on 4-of-7 shooting while grabbing six rebounds and dishing out four assists. After struggling with turnovers early in the season, Hill turned the ball over just two times on Thursday.

Arizona’s freshman guards played one of their best games of the season.

HOOPS, 11

After its 81-72 victory against St. John’s, No. 15 Arizona will take on Mississippi State in the final round of the 2K Sports Classic in New York’s Madison Square Garden at 4:30 p.m. today.

The Bulldogs upset No. 19 Texas A&M earlier in the day, 69-60, behind senior guard Dee Bost’s 20 points and four steals. Arizona will also have to deal with 6-foot-10, 270-pound junior forward Renardo Sidney.

Although Sidney scored just three points and didn’t make a field goal against Texas A&M, his size and mobility gives him an advantage over anyone on Arizona’s roster.

Junior forward Arnett Moultrie will also be a handful for the Wildcats in today’s final. The 6-foot-11, 230-pounder scored eight points and grabbed eight rebounds against the Aggies.

But Arizona won’t be looking for much offense from its forwards, at least in the paint — the Wildcats abused St. John’s from behind the arc in its win on Thursday, shooting 50 percent on 28 attempts.

Mississippi State can also shoot from outside. The Bulldogs hit 46 percent of their 3-point attempts against Texas A&M. As a whole, Mississippi State is an experienced team, starting just one underclassman— freshman guard Rodney Hood.

Whyte shoots lights PREVIEW Injury-plagued volleyball out in W-hoops win

By Zack Rosenblatt DAILY WILDCAT

Nearly three minutes into the first half of last night’s game against Wichita State, Davellyn Whyte turned the ball over in the midst of a double team.

That was the last mistake Whyte made.

In the 74-60 win against the Shockers in McKale Center, Whyte had her best game of the season with 34 points, going 11-for-17 from the floor and 6-for-8 from 3.

She also contributed five rebounds and five assists.

“Not a whole lot to say,” head coach Niya Butts said. “Solid performance from a super player.”

After leading all scorers with 20 points in the first half, during which Arizona led 35-32, Whyte watched from the bench for the first five minutes of the second half. As she sat, Wichita took a

36-35 lead, its first of the game.

When Butts put Whyte back in with a little less than 15 minutes remaining, she nailed a 3-pointer and the momentum of the game shifted permanently in Arizona’s direction.

“I just felt really confident with my shot today,” Whyte said.

“Last game I wasn’t shooting so well, so just getting those extra shots up,” she added. “It just felt good tonight. My teammates were finding me.”

Guard Candice Warthen was the only other Wildcat to score in double digits, scoring 16 points and going 7-for-12 from the field.

Her stellar performance was good enough to offset the Wildcats’ struggles on the boards, as they were out-rebounded 36-33 on the night.

“We should be ahead in the rebounding margin,” Butts said.

takes on top two in NCAA Arizona travels to play UCLA, USC without Arizobal

By Kelly Hultgren DAILY WILDCAT

When Taylor Arizobal fell to the ground after turning her ankle against Colorado, the Arizona volleyball team’s offense spiraled down with her.

Arizobal, the starting opposite hitter for the Wildcats, has provided stability in both hitting and blocking throughout the entire season.

Her ankle’s prognosis isn’t promising for this weekend’s play against No. 1 USC and No. 2 UCLA. The Wildcats play UCLA Friday in Los Angeles

before facing USC on Saturday.

“It’s certainly a rough road trip to not be healthy,” said head coach Dave Rubio. “It has been a rough road for us in the second half of the season, because Madi’s (Kingdon) ankle, now this, and Candace (Nicholson) has been out.

“Every week, she hasn’t been able to practice, but she’s been able to play,” Rubio said of Nicholson, who has been struggling with a quad injury.

When Arizobal went down in the first set on Saturday, there was a brief look of worry on Rubio’s face. A second later he snapped back into his usual, calm demeanor, realizing the urgent need to construct an effective, makeshift offense.

Rubio quickly moved Courtney Karst from her outside position to

Arizobal’s position on the right. He then placed Marketa Hanzlova on the left.

The switch didn’t go well — a factor that almost resulted in Arizona giving Colorado its first conference win.

“We lost a lot of offense with her out there,” Rubio said of moving Karst to the right side. “I didn’t particularly like how we lined up on Saturday with Courtney in the opposite and Marketa on the left. I’m not sure what we’re going to do.”

Their offense won’t look like what it did on Saturday, Rubio said.

“We’re tossing around a few different ideas,” Rubio said. “I think our options are moving Marketa to the

SPOILING THE SUN DEVILS

Burfict the perfect linebacker

By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

Linebackers need a mean streak.

They should be angry and aggressive.

“You look at Ray Lewis, he’s kind of got a mean streak,” said Arizona quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo. “If you look at the great linebackers over time, I think that’s a trait that those guys possess.”

ASU linebacker Vontaze Burfict is one of those guys. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound linebacker is one of the most feared defensive players in college football.

“He’s a real physical player,” said quarterback Nick Foles. “He’s a tough guy. He goes out there and flies around. He’s really aggressive, he’s probably one of the most aggressive players there is in the country.”

Burfict is the first big-time defensive player the Wildcats have had to key on this season.

“You see him run through a gap that’s probably not his gap, but he’s in the backfield making a play,” Scelfo said. “I think he’s an instinctive player. I know there’s some times when you say, ‘What made him do that? Where did that come from?’”

Although he’s dangerous every snap, Burfict’s production has tailed off since the beginning of the season.

He racked up four sacks through the first two games, and has had only one since then.

But regardless of his lack of playmaking as of late, the Corona, Calif., native is still the leader of an impressive ASU defense that gives up 23.8 points per game.

“He brings a lot of emotion and intensity to that defense,” said linebacker Paul Vassallo. “I definitely think they look to him to be that emotional leader on that side of the ball.”

If Arizona doesn’t keep tabs on Burfict, it could be a long night.

“He’s at the perfect position for what he does, and you’ve got to account for him when you’re game-planning stuff,” Scelfo said. “He’s not a guy you say, ‘OK, you block the MIKE (linebacker) and then we go on.’

“We’ve got to say, ‘Do we have a good angle on him? Do we have the right guy blocking him?’ Things like that.”

Torching ASU’s bowl chances UA’s silver lining

By Alex Williams DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona isn’t going to a bowl game this year.

The Wildcats’ coaches won’t be in Tucson after this season and Arizona is likely going to finish in 12th place in a 12-team conference.

But a win against the ASU Sun Devils on Saturday can make all of that disappear, at least for a little while.

“The two cities don’t like each other,” Arizona defensive line coach Joe Salave’a said.

“You always want to get a good jump at those guys. Whether it’s checkers or playing cards, when it’s Arizona versus Arizona State, you get a gratifying moment.”

Salave’a played defensive tackle at Arizona from 1994 through 1997, a stretch that saw the Wildcats take three of four games from the Sun Devils.

So while some players, like freshman defensive back Tra’Mayne Bondurant, don’t have any experience in the rivalry, they have a wealth of experience of its bitterness from the

coaching staff.

Bondurant said that he didn’t pay attention to rivalry games when he was younger because he didn’t see the significance of them. But now he understands the effect they can have on schools, cities and even states.

“It takes up for a lot because this is like bragging rights for the city,” Bondurant said. “We know how our season’s been going, but this game’s very important just to get the win for the bragging rights.”

One team ruining another’s dream season is a staple of all rivalries. Salave’a was a part of the 1997 team that beat ASU in Tempe, 2816, knocking the Sun Devils out of the Rose Bowl, and Arizona has a chance to do something similar on Saturday in the 85th Duel in the Desert.

Even though the Sun Devils sit at 6-4, they control their own destiny in the Pac-12 South Division. But an Arizona win coupled

Despite a rough three-game stretch, Arizona senior gunslinger Nick Foles will most likely have better numbers than ASU’s Brock Osweiler at the end of the game.

The caveat for Foles will be his likelihood of turning the ball over. To go along with his careerhigh 3,612 yards this season, he’s also set a career high with 13 interceptions, eight of which have come in his last three games.

If Osweiler wants to be successful this weekend, he will have to quickly forget the Sun Devils’ two straight losses to inferior conference opponents UCLA and Washington State.

“Sometimes, life throws you a curve ball and it’s all about how you bounce back from it,” Osweiler told the media in Tempe on Monday.

RIVALRY, 11

Carey almost chose ASU

By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

Just more than nine months ago, Ka’Deem Carey sat in the Canyon Del Oro High School gym with his family and friends as he was set to announce the biggest decision of his 17-year-old life.

ASU or Arizona?

With a media mob on hand and anticipation building, Carey’s mother pulled an Arizona hat out of a box.

Carey chose the Wildcats.

“It was a split decision, but this is my hometown and I love the support,” Carey said.

At the time, there was one advantage ASU had over the Wildcats, according to Carey. Carey said he almost chose ASU because of its new jerseys.

“They’re sick,” he said with a laugh.

Last season, Arizona was a program on the rise. The Wildcats had just been to three straight bowl games and were expecting a big 2011 season in Nick Foles’ senior year.

ASU, on the other hand, once again had big expectations but had yet to live up to the hype.

Fast-forward nine months and ASU is now 6-4, while the UA is 2-8.

Does that hometown support still outweigh the prospects of playing for a better football team?

“I think I made a great choice to come here just because I know that

Zendejas reminisces on his role in rivalry Senior kicked way to win in 2009, whiffed in loss last season

By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

WILL FERGUSON / DAILY WILDCAT

Freshman running back Ka’Deem Carey’s college decision came down to Arizona and ASU.

we’re a better team,” Carey said.

But Arizona hasn’t been the better team in 2011. Despite its horrific season, Saturday’s game in Tempe is a chance for Arizona to add some good feelings to its lost season and Carey is chomping at the bit.

“It’s ASU, the school up the street,” Carey said. “I was thinking about going there but now it’s time to bring the heat.”

About half of his friends from high school go to ASU, and he knows a lot of people in the area, Carey said. He’s good friends with Sun Devil wide receiver and return

man Jamal Miles, who took Carey on his recruiting trip. If Arizona gets the win, Miles is going to get an earful, Carey said.

“It would mean a lot,” he said.

“He’s going to get a text message, that’s for sure.”

Carey, who has racked up 333 rushing yards, six scores, 156 receiving yards and a touchdown, was at last year’s ASU game to watch Arizona crumble in crunch time.

“We don’t want that feeling again,” Carey said. “Me just standing there watching it made me say I want a taste of that.”

The last time Arizona and ASU met, kicker Alex Zendejas slammed his helmet into the Arizona Stadium grass and stormed off the field.

Frustrated and disappointed, Zendejas got into a verbal altercation with a fan and was restrained and escorted into the locker room.

As the story goes, he’d had two extra points blocked and the Wildcats were upset at home, making up the lowpoint of the kicker’s four-year career.

“That was one game. If a lot of people want to judge me for that one game so be it,” Zendejas said. “You learn from it. I’ve gone through it. I’m still here. I haven’t quit on myself. I haven’t quit on my team.”

While Zendejas is still working away, he lost his starting gig after interim head coach Tim Kish handed the keys to John Bonano following the Oregon State loss.

Zendejas missed four extra points this season, wrapping up what proved to be a disappointing career at

Arizona. Bonano, on the other hand, has made six of his seven field goal attempts and drilled all 14 of his extra points, making Zendejas seem like a distant memory.

But any time ASU comes up in conversation, the pain of last year’s botched extra points returned. And Zendejas most likely won’t have a chance at redemption this time around.

People forget, however, that Zendejas drilled a game-winning field goal in 2009 to lift Arizona over ASU in Tempe.

“That was awesome for all the same reasons it wasn’t so awesome last year,” Zendejas said. “Family was there, being from Arizona, going to high school in Arizona, growing up here. It was just a great feeling.”

While the game-winning field goal was a highlight, it proved to be one saving grace of an otherwise rocky career at Arizona. Zendejas will always be remembered for the missed extra points against the Sun Devils. But as his career wraps up and he disappears into the sunset, Zendejas is thankful for his time as a Wildcat.

“I’ve learned so much. I’ve grown as a person. I’ve grown as a player,” he said. “I’ve experienced highs, I’ve experienced lows and I’ve learned from them and taken from them.”

Ignore a pessimist. You get to choose what thoughts to entertain.

Consult a wise friend. Conserve your resources to gain an advantage. You’re in the groove.

Libra —

Things don’t always work the first time. Interruptions happen. Be patient and don’t think too hard. The more challenging the effort, the greater the reward.

Cancer — Love’s your motivation and Scorpio service is the key. Resist the temptation to splurge. For the next two days, study and learning are heightened. Explore.

— Someone close provides the answer, and you wonder why you didn’t listen earlier. Don’t interrupt. Sidestep a controversy. Respond to the brilliant parts.

What’s the most “interesting” event you’ve seen so far?

I don’t really know off the top of my head.

Any alcohol antics?

Yeah, usually the guys get a little more rowdy than the girls, but my floor’s all girls, so I don’t really run into it at much.

Is the partying loud enough that you actually hear the guys?

No.

Sagittarius — Take an opportunity to disconnect from work and create an adventure. Keep your feet on the ground while you explore new trails. Or you could learn to fly. Look up.

Is the music ever too loud in the dorms?

Just at nighttime. Well, not late at night — on the weekends and stuff — but people just play it, nothing crazy.

Capricorn — An investment in your

Nothing like blasting gansta rap at 12 a.m.?

No, not at least on my floor.

house is okay now. When your home supports you, everything works better. Don’t loan money or get conned, though. Ask tough questions.

Some four decades since his remarkable debut, John Prine has stayed at the top of his game, both as a performer and songwriter. Long considered a “songwriter’s songwriter,” John Prine is a rare talent who writes the songs other songwriters would sell their souls for.

Daily Wildcat Arizona hockey Baltimore Ravens run i(Pad) formation has rough start Difficulty Level

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

BALTIMORE — On Tuesdays, when the rest of the NFL takes a day off, the Baltimore Ravens go full pads.

Full iPads, that is.

Instead of asking their players to lug around massive three-ring binders and stacks of DVDs, the Ravens provide each with an iPad 2 and distribute that information electronically on a weekly basis.

“The guys really like doing it this way,” Coach John Harbaugh said.

“They won’t flip through a playbook anymore. This is so much easier for them.”

Harbaugh said the Ravens and Tampa Bay are the only teams to do away with traditional playbooks at this point, but he expects every NFL franchise will make the switch in the near future. One of the many advantages is, players can download that week’s game plan Tuesday, typically their day off, rather than waiting to see it for the first time Wednesday.

“I take the iPad everywhere I go, so if something comes up I always

Josiah Turner scored eight points on 3-of-6 shooting after not playing in Arizona’s win over Ball State on Sunday, and Nick Johnson scored 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting, which included hitting three of four shots behind the arc.

“I though some of our freshmen really stepped up,” Miller said. “We had contributions from a lot of guys.”

Turner and Johnson connected on an alley-oop to put Arizona

have it with me,” Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo said. “I could be at the grocery store, and if something pops in my mind I’ll just look in the iPad and it’s there for me.”

Nick Fusee, the team’s director of information technology, developed an application that uses specific tabs to separate the material, so players can quickly locate sections such as down-and-distance reports, personnel groups and formations, the perimeter attack, plays for the red zone and short-yardage situations and the like. For instance, the scouting report and game plan for last month’s game against Arizona was 285 pages.

Harbaugh also keeps an ongoing motivational file, with additional information on historical or Biblical figures he refers to in his talks to the team. So if the players want to read more on the subject, they have that option.

The next generation of the application will allow players to tap on the drawing of a play, and have video of that play instantly appear. Fusee also envisions an animated playbook,

ahead by seven with 14:44 to play in the game before St. John’s used the next five minutes to take an eight-point lead. But Johnson hit a 3-pointer to get the lead down to five and Turner picked up a steal and turned it into a dunk to cut the Red Storm’s lead to three.

St. John’s guard Nurideen Lindsey scored 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting, but fouled out with 4:02 left in the game after Arizona guard Kyle Fogg drew a charge on the baseline.

Senior forward Jesse Perry added 11 points and nine rebounds, and Fogg scored 13 points on 3-of-9 shooting.

where you can draw a play with your finger, then hit the “play” button and watch it go.

Fusee’s main concern in developing the app was making sure the system was secure and the information could not be obtained by anyone outside the Ravens. To activate his tablet, a player first has to enter a fivedigit code. Then, a user name and password are required to launch the playbook application, and if those are entered incorrectly more than three times in a row, all the information in that application is destroyed.

The game plans come with “time bombs,” which erase that week’s information by midnight Sunday after the game. And Fusee has the ability to remotely erase the information on any of the 120 units, so even if the device winds up in the wrong hands, the information will not.

“If Ray Lewis loses his in a McDonald’s and somebody picks it up and walks away with it, I can click a button and remotely wipe it,” Fusee said.

“Peace of mind.”

with a UCLA victory over USC would put the Bruins in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game, and safety Marquis Flowers said he’s looking forward to a having a shot to knock the Sun Devils out of the conference race.

“That’s the meaning of a rivalry,” Flowers said. “It doesn’t matter what the record is. Both teams are gonna come out and we’re going to play our hardest. It’s gonna be good.”

Flowers also said that he finds himself thinking about last year’s 3029 heartbreaking loss to ASU. The sophomore from Phoenix said there are a couple people that play for the Sun Devils that he talks to regularly, and he’s been waiting for a shot to return the heartbreak he felt last year.

“That one hurt,” Flowers said.

“We’ve got to return the favor. We’ve got to go up there and win.”

right or maybe try Shaq (Shaquillah Torres) on the right.”

Regardless of who plays where, Arizona’s lineup will be fine as long as it minimizes errors, Karst said.

“We will give it our best shot and prepare like we normally do as if we were healthy, and hopefully when it’s match time, everybody will show up,” Rubio said.

Rubio signs three recruits Arizona volleyball announced the signing of three players for the 201213 season on Tuesday.

Olivia Magill is a 6-foot-2 middle blocker from Seattle and one of the country’s top recruits.

“Olivia is one of the more highprofile kids in the country,” Rubio said. “Olivia is a freakish-type athlete — really gifted athletically and is also a pretty good volleyball player. We think she’s going to make a pretty good impact immediately.”

Emily Bemis, a 6-foot-2 outside hitter, apparently played hard-to-get with Arizona.

“I had to work the hardest I ever had to get her, because she originally didn’t want to come this far,” Rubio said of Bemis, who hails from Illinois. “She wanted to stay close to home. I really had to work long and hard to try and get her and finally we did.”

Bemis will likely become a major point scorer for the Wildcats, he said.

“With a big arm, she’s got enough power, speed and athleticism to compete and score in our league.”

The third recruit, 5-foot-11 Lauren Fuller, was initially committed to Santa Clara. The California setter just fell into Arizona’s lap, Rubio said.

“I think she will be a nice addition for us from a depth standpoint.”

These three recruits will fill the big shoes left by seniors Karst, Hanzlova and Cursty Jackson.

“I think those three, based on who we’re losing … will be good,” Rubio said. “We lose quite a bit of offense with Cursty and Courtney, and ball control and stability with Marketa.”
