Consumption down at the UA Number of weekly drinks down 43 percent on average, impact of alcohol use remains

By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT

UA students are drinking less, but are still facing alcohol-related academic consequences, according to the latest UA Health and Wellness survey conducted by the Campus Health Service.

The average student consumed 7.6 drinks in a week in 2002, according to the 2002 survey. In the 2011 survey, data showed the average UA student has 4.3 drinks a week, a 43 percent decrease.

“It’s pretty much like a staircase effect,” said David Salafsky, director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services. “These are not numbers we have been seeing bounce up and down over the last few years, so it is significant.”

Though the level of alcohol consumption has decreased on the UA campus, the number of students who miss class due to drinking has continue to be high and in flux over the last six years. The survey indicates 18.8 percent of UA students have skipped classes because of alcohol consumption within a 30-day period of taking the survey. One of the things Salafsky found in his studies is that students are engaging in more credit units than in previous years, providing them less of an opportunity to recover from a night or day of drinking.

“As a result, when students do drink, it’s more likely going to impact academics that next day just because there is less spacing in the schedule,” Salafsky said. While the UA campus has seen a decrease in alcohol consumption over the last few years, national trends paint a different picture. According to a study conducted

The Arizona Fish and Wildlife Service has selected a UA research proposal to conduct a three-year, $771,000 study on jaguar activity in the Southwestern United States.

To conduct the study, 240 cameras will be placed between Arizona’s Baboquivari Mountain Range and the Animas Mountains in New Mexico. The cameras are equipped with infrared and motion-sensing technology, and will be placed in pairs along trails.

The setup allows for image capture on both

sides of the jaguar. This allows scientists to see the cat’s entire spot pattern, which is as unique as a fingerprint. Scat samples will also be obtained in the field and tested as another method of identification and research. Once photos or jaguar DNA samples are obtained, they will be studied to determine behavioral aspects of the animal, including what they eat, as well as genetic information about the animals.

“There’s almost no limit to the number of things we can look at once we have the DNA in hand,” said Melanie Culver, an assistant

professor of wildlife and fisheries sciences and the project’s primary investigator.

Funding for the project comes from the Department of Homeland Security, which is interested in border-related activities. The request was passed on to the Arizona Fish and Wildlife Service, which then requested research proposals, ultimately selecting the UA as the institution to conduct the study. The study’s initial funds amounted to $771,000, but additional funds will later be available as

“

partake in frequent and heavy episodic drinking, otherwise known as binge drinking. This is a term Campus Health refrains from using when describing students who excessively drink. “‘Binge’ just conjures up the idea of mass quantities or negative images, and the truth is a lot of students do engage in heavy episodic drinking, so this is what we tend to call it,” said Lee Ann Hamilton, assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventative Services for Campus Health. “And as the data suggest, we also know a lot of students who don’t do that, but we’re concerned about those who might be heavy drinkers with what the risks and consequences might be.”

The Center for Science in the Public Interest defines a heavy episodic drinker to be a person who consumes more than five drinks on at least one occasion during a 30-day time span.

“It makes sense just because it is a strong amount of drinking within one period and gaps in between,” said Lance Leon, a history junior.

“Maybe a month is a little too much to be called excessive drinking, but I can see where they are coming from.”

In the Campus Health survey, statistics showed a decrease in heavy episodic drinking at the UA, dropping from 7.9 percent in 2010 to 6.3 percent in 2011. Hamilton, who is also an instructor for Student Health Alcohol Drug Education, a diversion class for UA students facing minor in possession citations, said she is often surprised to see how many students are unaware of their blood alcohol concentration.

Their blood alcohol concentration and how many drinks it takes to push someone over the legal limit and into the territory of driving under the influence is .08 percent on a Breathalyzer test.

“That one red cup, depending on what is in it, could be several drinks,” Hamilton said. “Students are not really aware of a standard drink and not aware of the differences weight and gender may make.”

Is it abnormal that we value a piece of technology more than the timeless values of happiness and peace?”

The Arizona Board of Regents will weigh proposed financial aid policy and hear an update on the UA presidential search during its meeting today.

The board will meet today and Friday in the Student Union Memorial Center. Today’s session will run from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Friday’s from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The proposal for financial aid includes a $15.4 million increase in total system funding for fiscal year 2012, a 3.9 percent bump from last year. Under the proposal, there would also be an additional $15 million in funding for financial aid in fiscal year 2013, all told a 7.8 percent increase over current funding levels. According to the regents, the increases are due in part to the raising of the mandatory amount set aside for financial aid, which is based on total tuition and fee revenue from the universities, and growing aid commitments to combat rising tuition.

According to statistics from the regents, the average debt for an undergraduate student upon graduation has increased by 17.4 percent, to $21,158, over the last five years. During that same time graduate students have seen a steeper increase of 25.2 percent, to $44,918. Loans account for nearly half, 47.5 percent, of the $1.7

billion in financial aid in the Arizona university system.

The regents will also discuss Rich Rodriguez’s contract as the UA’s head football coach. As it currently stands, Rodriguez would receive an initial base salary of $1.45 million for the first year of his contract. This figure would rise each year, with a maximum base salary of $1.8 million by the final contract year in 2016. Men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller made a base salary of $1.6 million as of fall 2010, but no other UA employee received

more than $650,000 a year, according to UA payroll data. Rodriguez would also receive additional compensation should the team reach a bowl game, end the season ranked or reach certain academic benchmarks.

After nearly 23 years at the UA, Margie Barber, chief administration officer of the Arizona Cancer Center, is retiring at the end of December.

An event honoring her service to the UA was held on Wednesday. Before working at the center, Barber served at the Financial Services Office as the assistant controller and the university’s audit coordinator. She then worked at UA South for several years and rounded off her time at the UA, serving nine and a half years at the cancer center.

Barber played a key role in the two renewals of the $15 million Cancer Center U54 Support Grant given by the National Cancer Center.

Initiative formed to market UA tech

By Brenna Goth Daily Wildcat

An initiative launched this semester aims to link technology developed at the UA with the resources needed to bring it to the market.

Tech Launch Arizona launched on Monday and immediately began its search for an executive director. The initiative will restructure university technology transfer and commercialization by bringing inventors, the community and investors closer together.

The effort will bring efforts and offices throughout campus into one organization, and the executive director will report to President Eugene Sander. The project developed out of conversations about how the UA can interact more effectively with the private sector, said Leslie Tolbert, the

UA and Northern Arizona University and is a five-year, $15 million dollar grant.

“Every time there was a glitch or a snag, Margie was always there to back us up,” Prissel said. “She’s really been a corner post of the cancer center and I think that is one thing we are going to miss the most from her retirement.”

Barber also served on multiple campus committees such as the Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee and the Appointed Professionals Advisory Council.

She was also the liaison for the Commission on the Status of Women.

Barber’s colleagues said she will be sorely missed for her service and help to those she worked with.

“We feel bad that she is leaving,” said Ritu Pandey, coordinator of biomedical

the university, Jessup said. They can also help with business plans.

“The university gets the chance for technology or discoveries to be vetted,” Jessup said. “The technology is exposed to a lot of different entities.”

The initiative will not immediately have a physical center, though that is a long-term goal, Tolbert said. Jessup is working to find an executive director and further establish a board of directors, which may take a few months, he said.

The ideal director will have a background in science and technology as well as business experience. Tech Launch Arizona is increasing the university’s focus on bringing inventions to market, he said.

“It’s definitely going to help,” Jessup said.

“The university needs to do this to help the UA be more self-sustaining.”

UA’s vice president for research.

“We do all kinds of fantastic work in the university,” Tolbert said. “We publish about it but we don’t do the best job we could to see that good ideas make it out to practical use.”

Tech Launch Arizona aims to address some of the barriers to commercializing inventions and discoveries by consolidating resources and providing funding for proof of concept tests, or prototyping and testing.

These stages help attract the interest of investors and companies, Tolbert said.

“They’re all steps before commercialization,” Tolbert said. “What we’re trying to do is take inventions and discoveries a step farther than we are right now.”

The Office of Technology Transfer provides funding for the testing stages

of some researchers’ inventions. About $1 million a year in funding from the Technology Research Initiative Fund, which comes from a state sales tax, will be used to increase this funding through Tech Launch Arizona, Tolbert said.

“Now we’re going to be doing that in a much more robust way,” she said.

Tech Launch Arizona also aims to work more closely with the Eller College of Management. Len Jessup, dean of the college, is the chair of the Board of Directors for Tech Launch Arizona.

“Everyone would like to see a closer marriage of technology transfer and the Eller McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship,” Jessup said, adding the center is a “commercialization engine.”

Students in the program could create startups based on products coming out of

informatics and co-director of informatics at the cancer center. “I’m happy she’s retiring because she is looking forward to it.”

Selin Demir, principal accountant of the business office at the center, said she worked with Barber for about a year and said she enjoyed working with her because of all the knowledge she imparted on her colleagues.

“She’s a very nice person, very knowledgeable and an institutional knowledge because she’s been at the university so long,” Demir said. “We’ll all miss her.”

Lynn Frazier, Barber’s assistant, said Barber helped in more ways than just what her job description entailed because she was a “jack of all trades.” She said Barber carried a huge weight on her shoulders and that her position will be hard to fill.

“My heart is breaking. I’m going to miss everyone,” Barber said. “I am honored to have worked with everyone at the university, they are a wonderful group of people.”

and unobtrusive as possible, she said.

The importance of this research is strengthened by the jaguar’s endangered species status, as well as the cat’s tendency to move across the border, Culver said.

“Jaguars are an endangered species, and so U.S. Fish and Wildlife is charged with developing a recovery plan,” Culver said. “Because they’re a trans-boundary species, there are additional concerns for the jaguar. They cross the U.S.-Mexico Border, and that provides additional challenges for the species.”

Four jaguars have been discovered in the area surrounding the ArizonaNew Mexico borderlands since 1996, with the most recent sighting in Cochise County on Nov. 19. The Arizona Game and Fish Department’s capture and collaring of the jaguar “Macho B” in February 2009 is the only jaguar collaring that has occurred in the United States.

research progresses.

The UA’s Wild Cat Research and Conservation Center was awarded the grant after submitting the initial research proposal. In an effort to maintain the center’s mission statement of wild cat conservation, this particular project will not involve trapping, collaring or any other intrusive techniques, according to Lisa Haynes, the center’s coordinator.

“That’s always our primary goal is to have the highest standards of conserving these animals and the landscape,” Haynes said. “That includes using techniques that are completely passive or non-invasive, and that’s why we’re using the cameras.”

While the group leading the study includes conservation geneticists, biologists and software analysts, the

project also incorporates government and public policy. Kirk Emerson, a research associate in the School of Public Administration and Policy, will oversee regulations regarding how the study may affect people in the area.

“In managing natural resources and working on landscapes, there are a whole array of policies, regulations and laws that often come in conflict,” Emerson said. “You have interests in maximizing grazing productivity on the land, and you also have interests in conserving wildlife and making sure that species diversity is provided for a healthy landscape.”

Emerson’s task will be to make sure any conflicts that arise throughout the course of the study are managed adequately, and to ensure that “property owners, environmental activists, conservation advocates, hunters and public land managers from different agencies” all work together to make the study as effective

Community Chatter Are unpaid internships worthwhile?

“I believe that they are still very valuable even though it is unpaid, for after college. It is easier to do something when you get paid but it’s a true motivation when you are not paid. I still believe they are worthwhile because it builds a work ethic that it not driven on money.”

“I think internships overall are very important.

It is a great opportunity to learn on the job training, especially in the career you would want to jump into. Even though it is unpaid it is definitely worth the experience. An internship itself is worth it, but if it is paid, that is an added bonus.”

“I definitely think that they are very useful; I personally have never had an internship but if someone really enjoys their internship and they have decided that’s what they want for their career, then it wouldn’t matter if you were getting paid or not.”

“Speaking from experience, I did an unpaid internship for Tucson Police Department over the summer, it really helps you get involved in the career your going to get into, helps you decide if Andrew you truly like it as well as Lantieri meeting new contacts and criminal justice gaining experience.” junior

“Yes I believe it is still worthwhile because you’re at least still getting experience. I would prefer to have a paid internship but I would settle for an unpaid internship. Regardless, I still believe it would help my overall success after college.”

“Paid is definitely better because it is much more helpful to have that excess income especially during the economic times, but I still believe that unpaid internships are not useless because it still gives you a knowledge and experience. If it is after college, I would expect to have a paid internship, but if I didn’t have a paid internship during college, I would be OK with that.”

“I had an unpaid internship last year at Hamilton Beach, and even though they didn’t pay me, it still taught me that I don’t want to work in a cubicle for my career as well as how to apply the things I learned in school. I wish they would have paid for my gas. Money would have made me have a stronger drive in my work for but it still was useful regardless. I have noticed that many places won’t hire me if I don’t have an internship experience.”

Happiness and peace only after we get an iPad Caroline Nachazel Daily Wildcat

lack Friday has come and gone, which means that holiday wish lists have been written, edited and completed.

A recent study from the Consumer Electronics Association will make Santa’s job much easier, giving him only one product to fill stockings with this year: the iPad. According to the study, iPads and other types of tablet computers are the most popular gift Americans hope to receive this season or, rather, the only item for sale.

Last year, happiness and world peace were at the top of the list, followed by clothes and money. This year, world peace and happiness were demoted to numbers two and three. So give us an iPad this year and we will be mostly fulfilled.

Our country’s heavy desire for technology shows us how we pursue happiness.

It’s not about the simple things in life or the affection of friends and family anymore.

Obtaining the material items that give us instant gratification is what makes people happy and allows us to depreciate our feelings and society.

Even with the overwhelming amount of supporters of the Occupy movement and ongoing international conflict, nothing outweighs or distracts us like an iPad. It is no shock that a 10-inch piece of metal technology is what our country is currently obsessed with. However, is it abnormal that we value a piece of technology more than the timeless values of happiness and peace? It’s a sad reality. The past year’s news headlines have been filled with nothing but the latest political scandals, economic downturns, civilian revolts and celebrity divorces or suicides.

When considering them, world peace and happiness should be in high demand. But sadly, they’re just second best.

The demand for iPads is so high that fraudulent iPads are flooding the Internet on popular personal-selling sites like eBay and Amazon. These fake iPads have counterfeit Apple logos. The saying goes “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” and for Apple it further proves how hungry society is for these tablet computers.

As the study suggests, world peace is just second place to the almighty iPad. With the abundance of seasonal parties, secret Santas and festivities, who has time for world peace? Not even beauty pageant contestants have time to think about preaching world peace during the holiday season.

It doesn’t matter to us that Russia recently blacklisted a number of U.S. officials from entering the country. There is no need to be bothered by such grave world events when iPads are just a mere $500 away. Pakistan’s boycott of an Afghanistan conference is nowhere near as important as getting that iPad for the holidays.

We are truly sick in a contagious technology epidemic. If money could buy happiness and if Apple stuck a logo on world peace, we’d be obsessed with it, buy it and be fulfilled until the newest Apple product debuted.

MAILBAG In response to “The jobless must pick up the pace this season” Christmas is about the kids Wow, this article was very eye opening.

I know there are less privileged people out there. That’s why there are charities and programs like Christmas Angel. But, I guess I sometimes forget that as we live our lives, there are people struggling to live. I had no idea that the little kids these days are asking Santa for jobs for their parents. That just breaks my heart, kids should be the ones enjoying Christmas the most; not having to worry about the economical situation.

Let elephants be, fix districts, cure HIV and even the sexes Andrew Conlogue Daily Wildcat

An elephant never forgets, zoo should protect friends

About a week ago, the Tucson City Council approved a plan to send Connie, the Asian elephant at the Reid Park Zoo, to San Diego. In exchange, the zoo will be getting a small herd of African elephants, into which Shaba, the African elephant already living at the zoo, will be integrated. The 42-year-old Connie is getting on in years, and zoo staff feels that she will be better cared for in San Diego. The Reid Park Zoo will be getting an ostensibly better exhibit for its citizens to enjoy. It seems like an excellent situation for everyone. Everyone, except, perhaps, for the elephants.

Connie and Shaba have been together for nearly 30 years. Unlike, say, keeping a couple of especially long lived reptiles together, elephants develop deep bonds with their companions.

Elephant families are some of the most cohesive groups in the animal kingdom. They are relatively sophisticated communicators, and are known to mourn their dead at length. Some scientists even think elephants cry when they’re sad. Anyone who has a dog or a cat that they are close to knows the bonds that animals are capable of forming. Elephants seem to be able to form even deeper bonds than most.

With that in mind, it would be ludicrous to think that Connie and Shaba aren’t closely connected. Connie is 42, so she has known Shaba for more than two thirds of her life. It seems quite cruel, then, to separate her from the only friend she’s had of her own species.

One of the arguments for moving Connie is that she’ll be given better geriatric care in San Diego. But on the other side, shouldn’t she be allowed to spend her twilight years with her friend? The benefits, both for man and elephant, may be too great to not allow this to go forward. But when making this decision, all involved should picture the one being, human or animal, that they love the most, and ask themselves whether they would make this move themselves if it meant losing that being.

Independent Redistricting Commission fiasco. First, Gov. Jan Brewer tried to fire Commissioner Chair Colleen Mathis, then the Arizona Supreme Court overruled her, and then there were rumors that the commission could possibly be scraped and reformed to some extent. However, since Arizona voters approved the commission in the first place, voters would have to approve any reformation.

In order to do that, the question would need to be put on the ballot, and putting it on the ballot would require a special legislation session.

But it needed to have happened by yesterday.

Nonetheless, no special session was called and Brewer was clear that she wouldn’t be rushed into such action. Brewer still feels that the redistricting hasn’t been a proper and fair process, and many in the public have expressed issues with splitting up “communities of interest.” Under the proposed plans, places like Cochise County would be split into two districts and Yuma would also be split.

Nonetheless, polls indicate that voters haven’t lost all their faith in the commission so thus, perhaps even putting the commission to a vote would not be worth it.

Senate Majority Whip Frank Antenori contends that polls are pointless and said that Brewer should do what she thinks is right and that “a lot of times polls are wrong.”

Not that Antenori doesn’t have a point, polls can be wrong about larger trends, but they are still relatively indicative of the reality of a situation. If the poll shows voters aren’t supportive of throwing out the commission, odds are they probably aren’t. And if they are supportive of it, it’s probably not by a large majority.

The commission has its problems, there’s no debating that. But they were formed on a voter’s mandate and that can’t be ignored.

If voters don’t seem to want to abandon the commission they themselves chose, don’t try and ram it down their throat.

HIV and AIDS are still a huge problem for millions across the globe and they still deserve a lot of attention. Prevention is not a long-term solution, but a cure or a vaccine could save lives and medical costs on an astronomical scale.

Hopefully there are some researchers or students who are still interested in finding this cure.

The economy is bad enough without gender discrimination at work

Today, jobs are incredibly hard to come by.

No one is immune to the effects of the terrible economy, including employers. The last thing the public wants to hear is that sexism still exists in the workforce.

According to Laura Fitzpatrick, a writer for Time Magazine, “U.S. women still [earn] only 77 cents on the male dollar in 2008, according to the latest census statistics.”

POLICE BEAT

By Rebecca Rillos DAILY WILDCAT

Tracing issues A UA employee flagged down a University of Arizona Police Department officer outside of the Meinel Optical Sciences building around 1:15 p.m. on Monday. The man reported that a woman who was not affiliated with the UA had contacted him twice and made strange, concerning comments to him. The woman walked into the man’s office in the Meinel Optical Sciences building on Nov. 16 and began talking to him about a tracing chip she had implanted in her glasses. She told him he had to take a picture of it. The man said she should go to the police about it and she left. Then at 1 p.m. on Monday the woman repeated what she had said about the tracing chip and told him she had been sexually molested and that people were after her.

The man told her he would call the police and she left again. The officer called the woman later that day and tried to explain that she could not contact the employee anymore. The woman said she had very important research that she had to show the man but he was being unhelpful. She told the officer not to harass her and said he couldn’t hurt her like the city police had done because he was a university police officer. The woman then hung up. The officer told the employee to notify UAPD if the woman attempted to contact him again.

Recreational theft A UAPD officer spoke with a man at 11 a.m. on Monday who said his bike had been stolen from the Student Recreation Center. The man told the officer he had locked his red Schwinn mountain bike to the racks at the center using a U-Lock through the frame and front wheel at 8 a.m. on Nov. 24. When he returned at 9:45 a.m. on Monday, his bike and lock had been stolen. The man gave the officer the serial number and said the bike was registered with Parking and Transportation Services.

Victim’s rights forms were given to the man.

Cruisin’ and losin’ A UAPD officer spoke to a woman around 3 p.m. on Monday who reported that her bike had been stolen from Navajo-Pinal Residence Hall. The woman said she locked her black and pink beach cruiser bike to the racks on the southwest side of the building at noon on Nov. 23 with a U-Lock and cable lock. When she returned on Monday, the bike and locks were gone. The bike was not registered with PTS. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Arizona looks to remain unbeaten as it heads to Hawaiian islands to take part in Hukilau Invitational against the stiffest competition it has seen this season

Syracuse, BYU will test ‘Cats in paint

Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s basketball team will face BYU today, followed by Syracuse on Friday and BYU-Hawaii on Saturday, at the Hukilau Invitational in Laie, Hawaii.

Arizona currently sits at 5-0 coming off a 69-62 victory over North Texas on Monday. Davellyn Whyte is pacing the Wildcats with a team-high 22 points per game, followed closely by sophomore Candice Warthen, who is contributing 17.4 points per game.

BYU and Syracuse will be the first real tests of the season for Arizona. BYU is 5-2 heading into the tournament, and Syracuse, ranked No. 28 by the ESPN/USA Today poll, is 6-0.

BYU-Hawaii is a Division III opponent, and is looking for its first victory at 0-3.

W

hen Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott added Utah and Colorado to the conference during last year’s offseason, he was also able to establish a championship game that would match up the two best teams to battle it out for the coveted Rose Bowl bid.

As preparations are underway for the inaugural championship game tomorrow night, the notion of the two best teams facing off must be some kind of sick joke.

The Oregon Ducks, deserving of the possible Rose Bowl appearance, will face off at home against the UCLA Bruins.

Yes, the same Bruins that were dismantled by a one-win Arizona Wildcats team in the middle of October.

And yes, the same UCLA squad that scored zero points while allowing 50 against USC in its season-ending rivalry game on Saturday.

In whatever cruel way you look at it, the Bruins, with a 6-6 record, probably wouldn’t have had a shot at a bowl otherwise. Now, the team has the opportunity to steal a win and play in one of the most prestigious collegiate postseason football games.

Even UCLA knows that it got a lucky shot, because in what other circumstances would it fire its head coach, Rick Neuheisel, the week before its team plays for the Pac-12 title?

BYU has experience, chemistry

The Cougars are having a solid, if unspectacular, season thus far under head coach Jeff Judkins.

“Their coach has been there for a while and does a great job,” UA head coach Niya Butts said. “(Their) kids really, really know how to play well with each other.”

Judkins is currently in his 11th season as BYU’s head coach and has a career record of 210-109.

Sophomore Kim Parker and freshman Lexi Eaton, who lead BYU with 10.9 and 10.7 points per game, respectively, lead the Cougars.

Arizona, who has struggled with rebounding all season long, might have the advantage down low against BYU. The Cougars have no player averaging more than 6.1 rebounds per game, so expect Wildcat forward Erica Barnes, who averages 9.4 rebounds per game, to have her way on the glass.

Syracuse a force on the boards, could be a problem for Wildcats Gordon Bates / Daily Wildcat

Arizona forward Erica Barnes shoots the ball in the lane against North Texas on Monday. Barnes will be a key for the Wildcats who, need to rebound better to have a chance in the Hukilau Invitational.

Syracuse will easily be the toughest opponent thus far for Arizona, and that primarily stems from its rebounding talents. Syracuse ranks second in the nation in rebounding margin, outrebounding their opponents at a 19.6 rebound per-game clip.

UA hockey merchandise hits bookstore shelves After changing to a club team, Wildcats can sell officially licensed apparel

By Kyle Johnson For the first time, officially licensed Arizona hockey merchandise is available for students and the general public to purchase.

Kustis Durfey, the marketing specialist for UA Bookstores, said it was exciting to have the ice hockey team affiliated with the UA. “We want to promote attendance and promote the Wildcat ice hockey experience,” she said.

With the team’s name change from the Icecats to the university-affiliated Wildcats, all new products are available for fans to buy and vendors to sell.

“If I’m an approved vendor through licensing and trademarks, (the merchandise) can be sold anywhere,” said the director of hockey operations Cody Nicholls.

Icecat merchandise used to be sold only at the arena. Now there are 338 approved vendors who have the opportunity to sell items associated with the UA, said Alixe Holcomb, assistant director of marketing and licensing at Arizona Athletics. Because special requirements are involved with hockey merchandise, the club

The goal since the start of the season for the No. 20 Wildcats has been to return to the national tournament, and with a championship winner in No. 6 Ohio coming to town, the UA has an opportunity to make a statement in either direction.

“I wish we could say it’s just another game, but this is one of the top-ranked teams in the nation, and they definitely can compete for a national championship,” captain Brian Slugocki said.

Before the bye week for Thanksgiving, the Wildcats beat the No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners team on the road in Oklahoma City by a 4-1 score.

However, the Wildcats lost handily 5-1 to those same Sooners the previous night.

“There was no chance (Oklahoma) was going to win that game on Saturday,” Slugocki said.

“And if we play the same way this Thursday, I think we will come out with a ‘W.’” This Jekyll and Hyde routine has been a consistent theme for the UA in games against elite

Swim prepares for Texas Invitational

By Cameron Moon Daily Wildcat

The Arizona swim teams will head to Austin, Texas Thursday for the Texas Invitational, where the undefeated men’s and women’s relay squads will compete for qualifications for the NCAA Championships held in March.

“I’m looking forward to being part of a team that’s going to go out and compete for a national title,” said sophomore Giles Smith. “We want to make a big national statement that Arizona is going to be in it to win it.”

The level of competition at the Texas meet will be unlike any other they’ve faced thus far this season, as

Texas is listed above the Wildcats in the latest NCAA rankings.

“This is our biggest meet of the semester, and this is where we qualify for NCAAs, so we need to swim fast,” said senior Alyssa Anderson. “This meet is always fun because there’s a lot of surprises, and that’s what’s so fun about this sport, just seeing people improve and drop significant amounts in their times.”

Arizona’s men’s team is No. 3 with the Longhorns No. 2, and the women are No. 8 compared to Texas’ No. 3 spot. Despite that, Smith says the team is ready.

“We’ve been resting for about three,

In comparison, the Big Ten Conference championship game, whose winner automatically gets the other Rose Bowl bid, is a complete opposite of the Pac-12.

The battle between No. 13 Michigan State and No. 15 Wisconsin will be a physical one.

With the way these teams have been playing this year, the inaugural Big Ten championship game could be an instant classic at Lucas Oil Stadium this weekend.

The Bruins, on the other hand, will be lucky to get a field goal on the board.

Seriously though, if the Ducks don’t score at least 50 points, a lot of people will be surprised, and that’s the depressing part.

Could you imagine what a rematch between USC and Oregon would’ve been like to finish off the Pac-12 slate?

It could’ve been unbelievable, but because of the Trojans’ past indiscretions and NCAA sanctions, we have been stripped of a competitive championship game.

But you have to blame the rest of the Pac-12 South, too. It has turned into a division of collapsed teams.

ASU had a shot at glory, but after losing four straight games to close out the season,

“Syracuse is coming from the Big East and they’re a very, very physical team that rebounds the ball exceptionally well,” Butts said.

“Our weakness is our rebounding and it’s their strength so we gotta figure that out.”

Arizona has one player, Erica Barnes, averaging more than five rebounds per game. Syracuse has four players, Carmen Tyson-Thomas (8.2), Kayla Alexander (9.0), Shakeya Leary (8.2)

teams in the ACHA. In the first game of the season, the Wildcats lost 6-3 at No. 4 ASU. Yet the next night, they reversed their fortune and pushed the Sun Devils into shootouts before ultimately losing.

The same story again was written against No. 5 Iowa State. The Wildcats first beat the Cyclones 3-2 in shootouts in Ames, Iowa, before losing the next game 4-2.

The Wildcats won’t have the luxury of trial and error tonight as they only get one shot against the Bobcats.

“They are always a top-10 team. Always,” head coach Sean Hogan said.

Agree. Disagree.

Throw us down and stomp.

four weeks, and we’re starting to feel pretty fast,” Smith said. “All our times in practice have been pretty quick, and faster than the day before. We’ll be ready to go.”

With the stakes high, Arizona isn’t going to stop sweating the small stuff.

“I think as a team, one area we got better was our focus on details and little things,” Smith said. “The coaches have done a great job working with each person and moving the little things like closing out races, and polishing starts and turns. I think it’s going to lead to a really big showing this weekend.”

the Sun Devils will limp to a bowl game while Dennis Erickson looks for a new gig.

The Wildcats, who managed to find some success at the end of a disappointing season, were never going to be serious contenders after firing Mike Stoops at the season’s midpoint.

Utah, after getting four straight wins, only needed to beat Colorado this past weekend to get to the championship game, but couldn’t get it done in the end.

But the worst offender has to be UCLA. The Bruins have muddled through a season of mediocrity and have found themselves placed in the championship game by default.

It’s almost guaranteed that after this year, when USC is allowed to play for contention, that a situation like this won’t happen again.

If the allure of postseason glory tempts Trojan quarterback Matt Barkley back to USC next year and the Ducks continue on the Chip Kelly train of success, these teams will be a preseason lock for next year’s championship contest.

If by some divine intervention the Bruins are able to beat the Ducks tomorrow, it could be the first sign of the apocalypse.

and Elashier Hall (7.8) who averages at least 7.5 rebounds per game, along with a fifth, Iasia Hemingway, who grabs 6.5 rebounds per game.

After Barnes, Arizona’s next best rebounders are Cheshi Poston and Warthen, at 4.6 per game.

Alexander, a 6-foot-4 center, will pose the biggest problem for Arizona. The junior, an All-Big East selection last year, leads the Orange in scoring with 20.2 points per game and blocks with 1.83. If there was ever a time where the Wildcats needed 6-foot-5 freshman Aley Rohde to step up and break out of her slump, this game is it.

Ohio is very fast and physical, but also has a very high level of skill, Hogan said.

However, the Wildcats will finally have an advantage over a top-ranked team. Not only will this be their first game against an elite team at Tucson Convention Center, but it will also be their first home game against any ACHA Division I opponent.

But even with Ohio’s obvious talent and history, the Wildcats aren’t afraid of the challenge.

However, they will need to be Dr. Jekyll this weekend if they have any hopes of winning.

“I have a lot of confidence in my team,” Slugocki said. “I don’t know if a lot of other people can see it, but I know that when we play our game there isn’t many teams that will beat us, or even have the chance to beat us.”

has specifically identified six vendors to sell its products.

When the Icecats were coached by Leo Golembiewski, they independently produced their own trademarked merchandise, said assistant coach Dave Dougall who coached for Golembiewski.

While the team is now a university-affiliated club, they still have to generate their own form of revenue, and it hurts them losing that stream of income, Holcomb said.

To counter the loss in revenue, the Wildcats’ merchandise sales have been set up in a model similar to ZonaZoo. According to Holcomb, a standard royalty of 10 percent is placed on any university-related merchandise. Yet the hockey team, like ZonaZoo, has an additional two percent placed on the licensing, and that money is sent directly to the club, Holcomb said. The remaining 10 percent is sent to the university and split 50-50 between the student union and the athletic department, just like the standard royalties.

“We built in that 12 percent this year to help them with some of the cost they have had to incur basically starting back up,” Holcomb said.

While excitement over the new merchandise has been high, especially at the games, most of the hockey items are generic university shirts or foam claws.

Sophomore Jarrett Bunnin, who sells UA Bookstores apparel at the games, said an $80 non-stitched replica jersey has been by far the most popular, and they were almost sold out during the Wildcats’ game against Weber State University.

Break it down There are 338 different vendors that can sell UA-licensed products, with the university getting 10 percent of every sale. The hockey club team gets 2 percent of each sale in a setup similar to that of ZonaZoo.

Bunnin added that all of the new Arizona gear has been very popular during games at the Tucson Convention Center.

“The first couple games it was really busy,” Bunnin said. “We made over a couple thousand (dollars) at the first game, which is ridiculous for any kind of event.”

However, Dougall said he did not see that level of enthusiasm at the main bookstores.

He said this was mainly because the new hockey brand has not spread throughout campus yet.

Dougall said some of the bookstore’s employees don’t even know about the hockey merchaindise yet.

“We’d love to get some more ice hockey fanspecific shirts created,” Durfey said. “But there is a good process involved in getting work approved, so the ones that we see at the beginning of the season were things that we could get approved quickly.”

In addition to the shirts, more jerseys are also in production, but Durfey does not know when either of these new products will become available to the public.

“People support the University of Arizona,” said head coach Sean Hogan said. “We have great colors, we have great merchandise. So anything new that comes from (the UA) usually gets bought out pretty quick.”
