Waiting for himself

‘Wicked’ to cast a spell in Tucson next year

UA student adjusts body to match self-image

yan Manon wasn’t always Ryan Manon. At birth he was named Ryan Alexis Manon, but he no longer uses his middle name.

The molecular and cellular biology senior was born in San Antonio, Texas, on March 14, 1983. Manon moved around a lot, so when people ask him where he is from, he says Los Angeles, where he lived the longest.

As a child, Manon played outside, climbed trees and jumped fences. He remembers his first crush in elementary school, and how all he wanted to do was protect her and enclose her hand in his.

But Manon wasn’t always male.

Biologically speaking, he was born female.

By Ali Freedman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT UApresents and Broadway in Tucson are coming together to co-present “Wicked” at UA’s Centennial Hall. The musical will run next year from Jan. 5 to Jan. 23.

The Tony Award-winning “Wicked” has been on Broadway since October 2003. The musical has toured the nation, breaking box office records in each city it has visited.

Natalie Bohnet, executive director of UApresents, is excited about the collaboration. Having recently been named executive director, she was challenged to create a full season of shows under intense budget restrictions. With the success of the 2009-10 season, it seems hosting “Wicked” will add another accolade for UApresents.

“We are really excited to have this opportunity. We estimate the economic impact will be around $10 million,” Bohnet said.

“This will be great for campus. It will attract more students. It will be a great draw to have such a well-known

Dressing to comfort

On any given weekday morning, Manon lies in bed and debates whether to work out. He doesn’t sleep well most nights and exercise helps that. If he decides against working out, he gets up, feeds his snake and two cats, eats breakfast, brushes his teeth and washes his face.

When dressing himself, Manon considers a few factors on top of basic color coordination and the weather. If he is heading out to meet with friends, he doesn’t have to wear the chest binder.

They recognize his identity despite his female body. But on the UA campus, the chest binder is a necessity.

The specific binder Manon owns is the“Extreme Chest Concealer Chest Binder.”He bought it from underworks. com, an online vendor that offers a variety of body support and compression products for men and women. It looks like a black spandex tank top.

It is sleeveless, form-fitting and has a rounded neck. On the chest and upper back of the shirt are netted panels, made of 30 percent spandex and 70 percent nylon, which compress breast tissue, giving the appearance of a flat male chest. The binder is difficult to put on. It’s also hot, tight and uncomfortable. When new, it’s sometimes impossible to remove without help.

The compression of the chest binder is essential for Manon, who, since starting testosterone hormone therapy a year ago, has grown facial hair and developed a deeper voice.

“I felt like I got to the point where I was becoming questionable as far as perceived gender, and although I didn’t really care, I wanted to protect my TRANSITION, page 7

Condoms for a cause on campus In response to the growing human population and its effect on non-human animal species, the Center for Biological Diversity is running a campaign that will make limited edition endangered species condoms available free of charge to students who contact the center.

These are some of the slogans on the Endangered Species Condoms packages, which will be distributed on the UA campus today by half a dozen volunteer students.

The condoms are provided by the Tucson Center for Biological Diversity, which works to secure a future for all species.

The Center for Biological Diversity has already mailed out more than 100,000 condom packets to volunteers for distribution and plans on ordering more because of

The sports management minor at the UA is launching its second year at the upcoming Sports Career Fair, which will be Tuesday, March 4.

The Career Fair features an array of guest speakers currently involved in the sports industruty through sales, law and communication coming to the UA to speak with students about sports-related careers.

The sports management minor was founded by Stephen Gilliland, with the help of accounting senior Christopher Moran, and launched in the summer of 2009.

A majority of the courses required for a sports management minor are offered during the summer and winter. The UA recently started offering the courses during the spring semester.

News Tips

Chris Jimenez

Business management and public administration junior If the campus was suddenly attacked by birds with laser eyes, would you take action?

No. I’d probably just go to class.

What if class is cancelled?

I’d just go to work.

All right. Well, there are circumstances to your choices. You see, you were going to be Tucson’s savior from the killer birds. But, because you haven’t taken any action, the laser eye disease has spread to every animal in Tucson. Now what are you going to do? Just stay at work?

No. I’d just see what the problem was. I’d try to define why there are lasers coming out of their eyes.

And, uh, I don’t know what I would do.

OK. You can call one person, real or fictional, to come help you save the day. Who are you going to call?

I’d go with Davis Monthan Air Force Base if there are birds with laser eyes going around, I guess. I’d see what they could do about it.

What do you think an Airman would do about killer laser-eyed birds?

I don’t know. Maybe call the National Guard or something? I don’t know much about the Air Force.

Would they come with their fighter jets and shoot the killer birds to bits?

I don’t know. I guess. It’s kind of like that movie“Mars Attacks.”Yeah, I guess that’s what I would do.

Would you write a book about your experience with the killer birds?

I could write a book, I guess. I don’t know who would read it, if everyone was gone.

What would be the title of your book?

“Birds Attack.”

Can you really be bored to death?

LONDON — Can you really be bored to death?

In a commentary to be published in the International Journal of Epidemiology in April, experts say there’s a possibility that the more bored you are, the more likely you are to die early.

Annie Britton and Martin Shipley of University College London caution that boredom alone isn’t likely to kill you — but it could be a symptom of other risky behavior like drinking,

smoking, taking drugs or having a psychological problem.

The researchers analyzed questionnaires completed between 1985 and 1988 by more than 7,500 London civil servants ages 35 to 55. The civil servants were asked if they had felt bored at work during the previous month.

Britton and Shipley then tracked down how many of the participants had died by April 2009. Those who reported they

had been very bored were two and a half times more likely to die of a heart problem than those who hadn’t reported being bored.

But when the authors made a statistical adjustment for other potential risk factors, like physical activity levels and employment grade, the effect was reduced.

Other experts said while the research was preliminary, the link between boredom and increased heart problems was

possible — if not direct.

“Someone who is bored may not be motivated to eat well, exercise, and have a hearthealthy lifestyle. That may make them more likely to have a cardiovascular event,” said Dr. Christopher Cannon, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard University and spokesman for the American College of Cardiology.

LOS ANGELES — Jillian Michaels has been sued for alleged false advertising by a woman who claims she was duped into buying a diet supplement endorsed by the celebrity trainer.

Christie Christensen of Lake Elsinore, Calif., is seeking classaction status for the case she filed Jillian Michaels Tuesday in Los Angeles. Michaels is a hard-charging, no-nonsense trainer best-known as one of the stars of NBC’s hit reality show,“The Biggest Loser.”

Christensen’s lawsuit claims she bought a product called “Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control” last month and that it has failed to lessen her appetite or cause her to lose weight as advertised.

Michaels’ picture and endorsement appear on the packaging, touting her as “America’s Toughest Trainer.”

The product and a Web site advertising include the claim, “Two Capsules Before Main Meals and You Lose Weight … That’s It!” “Ms. Michaels knows better — taking two pills before eating does not miraculously cause weight loss,” the lawsuit states.

The Web site and packaging, however, note that the statements haven’t been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Christensen is also suing Utah-based Basic Research, which manufactures and markets several diet and weight loss products endorsed

by Michaels.

Michaels’ publicist, Heidi Krupp, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment Wednesday.

A representative of Basic Research said the company may issue a statement later Wednesday.

“Calorie Control” is not among the products that NBC lists for sale on its “Biggest Loser” Web site, which include video games, DVDs and equipment, some bearing Michaels’ image.

“The Biggest Loser” has been a hit for NBC, often appearing in Nielsen Co.’s Top 20 rankings for primetime TV programs.

Christensen’s suit seeks unspecified damages that are not expected to total more than $5 million. Her filing states she has “struggled with weight loss her entire life” and bought “Calorie Control” because of Michaels’ endorsement.

Students evacuate Coronado

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students evacuated Coronado Residence Hall on Wednesday morning after smoke was discovered coming from a room on the 11th floor which houses mechanical equipment that operates the elevators.

The smoke detector went off around 11:11 a.m. The Tucson Fire Department and the University of Arizona Police Department responded with three fire trucks and three police cars.

All floors were evacuated in Coronado, which is home to more than 800 students.

Many students didn’t even know there was smoke; they just thought it was a drill.

“No one takes fire alarms seriously,” said Jessica Lo, a pre-business freshman. “They (police officers) kept saying it’s not a false alarm.”

Students expressed concern about their belongings, in particular their computers, but no one was hurt and there was no physical damage to any of

the rooms except the mechanical room.

A fire did not cause the smoke, said UAPD Sgt. Juan Alvarez.

According to Alvarez, a mechanical issue with the elevator produced the smoke.

The smoke is thought to have come from an overheated motor in the elevator. The smoke damaged one of the three elevators in Coronado.

Facilities Management began working on the elevator and students were allowed inside the residence hall around noon.

ASUA votes no fees, no guns

By Taylor Avey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Associated Students of the University of Arizona passed the resolution opposing teachers with concealed weapons permits to bring their guns to campus.

Several of the senators said they were compelled to pass the resolution because they are afraid that if professors are allowed to carry firearms, it will not take long before students would also be allowed to carry a weapon.

“It’s is our obligation to respond to the students and what they want,”Sen. Leo Yamaguchi said at Wednesday’s meeting.“The forum was very eye-opening.”

Yamaguchi added that he felt compelled to pass the resolution based on responses from professors who said they would not feel comfortable carrying a gun on campus.

Sen. James Brooks responded to some of the professors who spoke at Tuesday’s forum and said he hopes to work on improving the safety options for professors in a way that does not involve firearms.

A representative from the UA Campus Health Service asked ASUA to support a fee increase for health and recreation services.

Campus Health and the Student Recreation Center have partnered up

and concluded that they need $306 more from students per year to continue providing the same quality of services, according to Kris Kreutz, director of Administrative Services for Campus Health.

“We can’t survive and provide the services we currently provide without this fee,” Kreutz said.

The Rec Center and Campus Health created a survey and distributed it to parents and students.

Kreutz provided the results of the survey on Wednesday.

Kreutz said that out of roughly 4,600 e-mailed surveys to parents, 78 percent were either slightly or very supportive of increasing the fee. These results were based on an 11 percent response rate.

Close to 36,000 surveys were emailed to students and 64 percent said they were in favor of the fee, based on a 13 percent response rate, Kreutz added.

He said 36 percent of those students were supportive of a lesser increase, between $80 and $100.

“I’m here to let you know that the other schools already have (increased) the fee, parents and students are in support of the fee increase,” Kreutz said.“I’m here to ask for you to endorse this fee.”

Kreutz said the fee would be used to hire more counselors and other employees to take pressure off of the

current “overwhelmed staff.” He also said he hopes the fee will allow him to bolster the nursing staff and hire a nutritionist along with other professionals who are qualified to counsel students with alcohol abuse problems.

While the Arizona Board of Regents will vote to increase the fee in March, Kreutz was hoping ASUA would provide a letter of support to ABOR. The senators voted not to support the fee increase, however, and asked Kreutz to try and find funding sources outside of the university.

Kreutz said he has yet to find outside funding sources but has started petitioning for donors.

Sen. Eduardo Atjian suggested a phasing in process or developing a self-sufficient method of providing the services and resources.

To this Kreutz said there is no way to get around having to increase the fee since self-sufficient organizations often see their funding fluctuate throughout the year.

“We would prefer to do it in a selfsufficient manner,” Kreutz said. “You have to, in my opinion, have some source of stable funding.”

Atjian, who sits on the Rec Center Advisory Committee, said he will be devoted to helping Kreutz find a way to fund the services without asking students to pay the increasing fee.

Guest opinion: Obamania wearing off as reality sets in

Ry Ellison Guest columnist

A

mere 13 months ago, Barack Obama swept into Washington atop a tidal wave of hope and change. After just 147 working days in the U.S. Senate, the junior senator from Illinois had won the White House, taking down both the Clinton machine and Republican Party in the process. For many Obama-believers, anything seemed possible. However, with the fantasy world of campaigning long gone, President Obama is learning the difference between making promises and being able to keep them — and he seems to be learning the hard way.

During the campaign, he promised a new era of bipartisan cooperation, a fundamental change to what he often referred to as the“old politics.”

However, his first year in office has been marred with some of the most intense partisan battles in recent memory. While Republicans have certainly embraced their role as the loyal opposition, his hiring of Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff, arguably the most bitterly partisan and abrasive Democrat in all of Washington, was not exactly a gesture of bipartisan intent.

During the campaign, he promised an unprecedented level of transparency and open government.

Not only has he broken his campaign promise to broadcast health care reform negotiations on C-SPAN, but he has also provided substantial fodder to his opponents by advocating health care legislation that includes costly backroom deals such as the“Cornhusker Hustle”and “Louisiana Purchase.”

During the campaign, he promised to end no-bid government contracts and exclude lobbyists from his administration. However, it is well documented that more than 30 lobbyists are now working in the Obama administration, and it was not until he came under fire from fellow Democrats that he ended the renewal of a $25 million no-bid contract benefitting Vincent Checchi, a well-heeled liberal campaign donor.

During the campaign, he promised to make America safer by“winning the battle of ideas”and“ensuring that American foreign policy is consistent with America’s traditional values.”

However, a string of questionable actions, including his painfully slow response to the attempted bombing

of a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day, his decision to Mirandize Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab a mere 50 minutes after his arrest and bizarre determination to hold the 9/11 terror trials of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad in Manhattan, have caused many Americans to question the practicality and effectiveness of this new national security strategy.

During the campaign, he promised “to restore fiscal discipline to Washington”by“reviewing the federal budget line by line and eliminating programs that don’t work.” The stark reality is that spending has never been more out of control. Despite the fiscal recklessness of the Bush administration, he has managed to quadruple the deficit and spend more in one year than the last four years of the Bush administration combined.

His vice president’s proclamation that“we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt” exemplifies a kind of logic that most Americans simply do not accept.

These broken promises demonstrate the consequences of such soaring rhetoric. While setting forth an ambitious agenda is certainly commendable, the old adage that “actions speak louder than words” still rings true. It appears that Obama’s words have set the bar so extraordinarily high that it has become impossible for his actions to keep up. If the president wishes to start exceeding the public’s expectations, he might do well to adhere to one of the most basic rules of the business world: underpromise and over-deliver.

Recent events indicate that the American people have begun to awaken from the trance of ‘Obamania.’ As of late, Obama seems to be more the“kiss of death” than the saving grace for Democrat candidates. In addition to big Republican wins in the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial elections, Obama failed to convince even the voters of Massachusetts, a state he carried by 26 points in 2008, to elect a Democrat to the Senate seat once held by Ted Kennedy.

The eventual winner of that seat, Republican Scott Brown, reminded voters that the Senate seat he was running for belonged to the people — not the Kennedy family or the Democratic party. Obama would be wise to learn from the lessons of the Massachusetts senate race. Failure to do so will likely result in him getting a very unwelcome reminder that the White House is the People’s House in 2012.

Yee-haw! Gun debate out of hand

member of the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, which must approve the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, and also step up and be a strong voice for Arizona’s universities, students and families.

The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act would stop government subsidies to big banks and invest in education that would provide more help covering college tuition and expenses and create better opportunities to prepare for good jobs. The passage of this bill is crucial to the recovery of our country’s economy, and indeed Arizona’s.

I couldn’t believe I was reading an actual headline in Wednesday’s Wildcat: “UA debates campus gun bill.” It isn’t (unfortunately) quite shocking that the Arizona State Senate would propose a bill allowing teachers to carry guns on campus but to hear that the ASUA actually brought this issue to discussion is disturbing.

Our professors are skilled researchers and academics, not militia, and it is incredible to suggest that it should be their responsibility to protect students — not to mention how ridiculous the idea is (and image it brings to mind) of our scientists, philosophers and French professors going around campus packing heat. A university should be a progressive environment, not one that caters and concedes to fear mongering.

Rather than training teachers to be cowboys, how about training people to recognize signs of distress in students (and teachers) in order to catch ahead of time, and possibly prevent, the type of emotional and psychological deterioration that is always well documented after the fact in the cases of school shooters around the country.

Ken Strocsher Political science junior

Pass the Doritos and technology Tom Knauer’s Feb. 9 article “How the iPad and junk food could save UA’s budget crisis” gave a brilliant look at how the state and university can actually get some money, while helping consumers make better choices.

After all, cheap junk food and redundant products are seemingly common in the United States. A larger tax on extraneous technology and unhealthy food would undoubtedly cause a shift toward healthier food and smarter consumer choices.

For those of you opposing taxes, I must question your logic. After all, how is a tax increase of about 10 cents going to hurt you financially? What is wrong with giving to your country? Take care of the society you live in, and it will take care of you.

Tom Knauer is definitely onto something. A healthier and more financially smart citizenry is exactly what we need, along with more money for the state and the universities. Thank you for your inspiration, Tom.

Man pees and runs

A University of Arizona Police Department officer noticed a man urinating in public at the intersection of First Street and Highland Avenue on Friday at 11:05 p.m.

When the officer got out of car to talk with the man, who was peeing on the sidewalk, the man took off running east on First Street.

The officer ran after him as the man took off toward Vine Street. The man then entered the north side door of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house.

A fraternity resident allowed the officer into the courtyard of the house and two other members got the man out of one of the bedrooms and brought him to the courtyard.

The officer told the man to lie down on the ground and handcuffed him. The man was arrested and placed into the patrol car. He was charged with minor in possession of spirituous liquor in the body, criminal littering and resisting arrest.

The man was booked into Pima County Jail and referred to the Dean of Students.

Money stolen from student’s desk drawer

A UA student reported a theft from his dorm room at Colonia de La Paz Residence Hall on Friday at 1:30 p.m.

The man told a UAPD officer that between noon and 1:30 p.m. four $5 bills were stolen from his desk drawer.

At noon the man said he left the room and his roommate left to take a shower, but he accidentlay left the room unlocked.

When the man returned, he noticed the money was missing from his wallet. He said no other items in his room were missing or out of order.

There are no suspects or witnesses.

Gangs of Main Library

A UAPD officer responded to the intersection of Sixth Street and Cherry Avenue on Friday at 12:34 p.m after receiving a call about a fight.

The officer met with a police aide employee, who stated he saw a fight happening at Fourth Street and Cherry Avenue, and that two of the men involved were headed toward McKale Center from the north side of the McKale Parking Garage. The officer drove north on National Championship Drive and saw the two men running down the street. He reported seeing one of the men jump over a pedestrian railing into a loading dock on the southwest corner of the arena. The other man continued running and the officer lost sight of him.

The officer told the man who had jumped into the loading dock to lie down on his stomach and handcuffed him.

The officer asked the man who he had been running with, and he said he didn’t know. He said he had not been trying to fight with anyone but the other man was trying to fight him.

He said he started to run because he thought the other man was “crazy.�

The man thought the other man wanted to fight him because of the colors he was wearing. He then quickly stated he does not “bang� and was not part of a gang.

The officer then spoke with the victim who was with the police aide employee. The victim said that earlier he had walked into the Main Library and looked over at the man who was sitting at one of the computers.

The man had asked, “You need something?� and the victim replied, “You need something?� and continued into the library.

When the victim left the library the man and two of his friends confronted him. Both the man and the victim had put their fists up as if they were going to fight, but a punch was never thrown.

During the encounter however, the victim said his iPod was thrown against a wall and was broken.

The man was placed under arrest at 1:05 p.m. for disorderly conduct and fighting. The victim waived his victim’s rights and said he did not want to press charges.

A woman reported being hit by a man at the intersection of Second Street and Mountain Avenue on Friday at 8 a.m.

A UAPD officer arrived at the scene and spoke with victim.

The woman stated she was walking to work when she stopped to pick up a newspaper.

When she was picking up the paper she was struck in the leg by a bicyclist riding on the sidewalk.

The woman told the bicyclist he should not be riding on the sidewalk, and when she did this he slapped her across the left side of her face with his right hand.

When the man hit the woman, her glasses flew off into the intersection. She described the man as between 18 and 20 years old with dark blonde, shoulder length hair.

The officer reported the woman as having a light red mark on her left cheek. There was no injury to her leg where the bicycle hit her. The woman said if the man was found, she would like to press charges, but does not think she would be able to identify him.

The officer issued a victim’s rights form to the woman and was told to call the police right away if she saw the man again, but not to confront him.

Vitamin water not just for energy

A UAPD officer was on bike patrol Friday at 1:42Â a.m. at the intersection of First Street and Vine Street when he noticed a man staggering down the sidewalk.

The officer saw a round object sticking out of his left front pocket.

When the officer walked up to the man, he quickly removed the object from his pocket and placed in on a short wall behind him.

The officer asked for identification and the man said he was from Flagstaff. After asking the man three times for a license, the man finally gave the officer his Arizona driver’s license.

The officer could smell alcohol on the man’s breath and noticed watery, bloodshot eyes. After retrieving the object from the wall, the officer could see it was a clear plastic 16-ounce bottle labeled VitaWater.

Inside the bottle was a red-diluted liquid that smelled strongly of alcohol. When the bottle was opened, the man quickly said he had not been drinking.

The man was cited for minor in possession and was escorted to his house. A Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students.

UA affiliates protest Iranian regime Students, alumni gather for rally on anniversary of 1979 Revolution

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students and alumni gathered to protest the current Iranian government on the UA Mall.

The protest was held Wednesday, the 31st anniversary of the Iranian revolution .

The protest was part of United For Iran, a group which identifies itself on its Web site, United4Iran. com, as “a non-partisan global network of Iranian and nonIranian individuals and human rights activists building a mass movement in solidarity with the people of Iran.�

The protest is one of many events being held worldwide to counter the events held in celebration of the revolution.

revolutionaries and stole the dream of the revolution, said Nasrin Ghanbari, a UA alumna.

Currently, the government is prosecuting people who want basic human rights, Ghanbari said.

Parisa Malekzadeh, a UA alumna , said the people of Iran are unable to protest because they are considered guilty until proven innocent. “We are able to give them strength and encouragement,� said Malekzadeh. “This is a huge human rights issue.�

The Iranian student and graduate student group at the UA organized the protest.

The group formed about a year and a half ago as a way for students to get together, according to Talieh Zargar, an engineering graduate student.

him seemed more like a robbery of his identity, rather than the awkward progression into adulthood. “During middle school and high school, when all of the boys started catching up with the girls and going through puberty, I remember being really upset about the fact that I wasn’t changing in the same way,�Manon recalls. “I didn’t have a growth spurt, my voice wasn’t changing and I wasn’t getting facial hair or anything like that.�

Making the transition

The year before he started testosterone therapy, Manon spent sleepless nights watching online, homemade videos, documenting the biological transitions others have gone through as a result of hormone therapy, aptly called “transition videos.�

Manon’s girlfriend at the time prompted him to seek more information on transitioning, so he sought out Dr. Anne B. Stericker, a Tucson psychiatrist, to obtain a recommendation for hormone therapy. During his initial meetings with Stericker, Manon felt he lacked the knowledge and

direction to answer her questions.

He took the time to write out his intentions and goals and brought them to his next appointment.

Stericker approved Manon for testosterone therapy that same day, about one year ago.

Testosterone therapy causes deepening of the voice, facial hair growth and increased musculature. In a mainstream world, each of these physical changes raises eyebrows when coupled with female breasts.

The next major step Manon considered was“top surgery,�also known as a double mastectomy.

It would mean the removal of the female breasts, which are compressed underneath his“Extreme Chest Concealer Chest Binder� each day. Manon considered the surgery, but for now it isn’t in his foreseeable future. “My body has been very good to me so I want to respect and have some love for it before I alter it to that degree,�Manon says.“I have grown to appreciate many aspects of my female body and although I don’t really identify with it in that regard, I would like to maintain it because it’s who I am.�

Schedule-marinated freshmen help Wildcats against Oregon

prepared, better suited and improved for the stretch run,”Miller added.“It’s an important stretch, no question.”

Miller has reason to be optimistic about his team’s improvement.

According to a press release from the athletic department, the Wildcats have the No. 2-ranked strength of schedule according to the Sagarin Rankings. At home, they have played teams with a combined 63 percent win percentage, in addition to playing a road schedule against teams at a 62 percent winning percentage. Also, Arizona has the fewest home games played of teams in the six major conferences in the nation.

Experience has paid dividends for the Wildcat freshmen, as the team is now in a five-way tie for second place in the Pac-10 and with an advantageous remaining schedule.

“Anytime you come in as a freshman, you don’t expect to come in and be a starter,” Williams said. “You just want to be role players and stuff like that.

It’s especially been hard for us since we’ve started for most of the season.

We’ll watch film and stuff — we see what we’ve messed up on.”

Having the chance to make mistakes has given Williams the opportunity to fix them.

But the chance to be within arm’slength of the conference title this deep into the season is all thanks to the growth of the young Wildcats.

“If we didn’t have Nic Wise, I don’t know what our record would be,” Miller said, “and if we can only imagine if we didn’t have them as a freshman class, where would we be?

Their individual play and their play

as a group will be a big indicator in how we finish.”

Dawgs out-bark ’Cats When asked if the team would need support from the McKale Center crowd, Miller said he thought his team’s preparation would be the main reason for a win against the Oregon schools.

But he also peppered in mild disappointment, complimenting the Washington Dawg Pack student section.

“I would say that the Washington crowd, their students are great,” Miller said. “I mean there is a reason Washington has the home court record that they do. They feed off their crowd.

“I feel like really the whole season for me has been a good one here at McKale, but the last game (against California) was whole different level of crowd.”

Former Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood said he never thought he would need a send-off.

But UA coaches, student-athletes and other athletic department administration said their goodbyes to Livengood Wednesday morning in the Jim Click Hall of Champions, thanking him for his 16-year tenure.

Livengood took the same position at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in December and was replaced by his former assistant, Kathleen “Rocky” LaRose on an interim basis on Dec. 17.

“Financially, he’s a wizard and he’ll do the same in Vegas, as long as he stays away from the blackjack table,” John Perrin, senior associate director of athletics, said in his speech.

The mood was lighthearted and LaRose led the gathering by opening the microphone to anyone who wished to speak. Livengood’s emotions ran high as he occasionally wiped away tears.

The ceremony, which lasted a little more than an hour, saw volleyball player Paige Weber, head softball coach Mike Candrea and head women’s basketball coach Niya Butts, among others, praise Livengood for always putting student-athletes first. Butts, in particular, thanked Livengood for hiring her to rebuild the women’s basketball team.

“Not a lot of ADs in the country would have taken a chance on a 30-year-old, first-year coach,” Butts said to the small crowd. “I will do my very best to make you (Livengood)

Newly appointed head coach Lisa Oyen signed her first recruiting class to the Arizona soccer program on Wednesday. The Wildcats signed nine letters of intent, securing one recruit each from Colorado and Utah, two from both Arizona and California and three from Oregon.

“We were seeking dynamic, attack-oriented players up front and in the midfield, along with solid defenders,” Oyen said in a press release Wednesday. “We feel we have a solid defensive group in place, and hope that we can bolster our attack with players from this class and those already in the program.”

The Wildcats broke their recruiting class into two goalkeepers, three midfielders, three midfielder/forwards and one defender.

“I am really excited to announce this deep and talented class,” Oyen said in the press release. “Each of them can come in and have an immediate impact on our program. They are all very good student-athletes who are excited to be a part of this program.”

Lorena Aragon, one of the two goalkeepers, is a local prospect from St. Augustine Catholic High School. She, along with Samantha Cummings — from Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix — round out the class from the state of Arizona.

When Arizona and Oregon played on Jan. 16, the Wildcats had great offensive success against the Ducks, running away in the second half with a 74-60 win in Eugene.

Tonight the Ducks (12-10, 4-6 Pacific 10 Conference) come into McKale Center with a new look on the defensive end that may force the Wildcats to make an adjustment.

“I do know they’re playing a different style right now,” said Arizona (12-11, 6-5 Pac-10) head coach Sean Miller. “They’re playing more zones, and we’ll have to be ready for that.”

The Wildcats will need to effectively move the ball against the zone and knock down the 3-pointers that will certainly be open against zone defenses. The Wildcats guards will have to be ready, as they will see numerous open looks against the zone defense.

“Just trying to get the ball in the middle and kick out for some (3-pointers),” said forward Derrick Williams.“That’s all (we’ve) been doing in practice this week.”

Williams will be expected to guard Oregon sophomore center Michael Dunigan, who is considered one of the best big men in the Pac-10.

“Anytime you have somebody 6-10, 260 (pounds), you just got to keep him out of the paint,” Williams said.

“If he gets the ball in the paint he’s either going to dunk it or And-1 foul every time.”

Oregon State (10-12, 4-6) presents the same challenges as the Ducks, with a more disciplined zone defense and a low-post threat from center Roeland Schaftenaar, who torched the Wildcats for 22 points in Corvallis on Jan. 14.

“He was really the difference in the game, in that he scored big baskets,” Miller said of Schaftenaar. “They really went to him when they need a basket.

We’re going to have to do a good job against him.”

Nobody would dare say the Arizona men’s basketball team has more than two experienced players. But with only seven games remaining in the regular season, five of which are at home, Arizona’s youth may now be an illusion as the Oregon Ducks drop into McKale Center for an 8:30 tip-off tonight.

“A lot of good, young players, you know, it’s a bonus if they play well, and if they don’t, their team can still win,” said UA head coach Sean Miller. “That’s not the case with this year’s team.”

Forward Derrick Williams was one of the last players Miller signed in his first year at Arizona (12-11, 6-5 Pacific 10 Conference), but he leads the team in scoring and rebounding.

Last Saturday, 6-foot freshman Momo Jones again met his season high of four assists. Freshmen guards Kevin Parrom and Solomon Hill have split time at the starting small forward position as well.

Miller said Wednesday that the starting lineup might be tweaked against Oregon (12-10, 4-6) after the Wildcats dropped their two previous games at the Washington schools.

Any changes would likely involve a highly important freshman class.

“We depend on them so much more than any team I’ve been a part of,”Miller said.“Several of them have a significant role.”

Hill, who was swapped out of the starting lineup for Parrom, has taken well to his move to the bench.

“I don’t want to say I feel comfortable coming off the bench,” Hill said.

“It’s like those first four minutes of the game, Kevin Parrom, he really establishes himself on the court. He gets it going fast, and I think that’s exactly what we needed.”

Miller said Hill had one of his better games against Washington last Thursday, scoring 12 points and earning three assists.

But as the season fades, the Wildcats will need more than Hill to play well.

“I like to think that our freshmen, our sophomores, our team generally, is more

Vegas parallels what he faced at Arizona.

“The financial issues that exist here are the same ones that exist there, having to do what the state’s going through, the economy,” Livengood said. “That’s just part of it. Other than that, we just need to stay positive and keep working on it.”

Depth not a problem for ’Cats Arizona and Oregon set for a rematch of record-breaking game

By Michael Fitzsimmons ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Alan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona women’s basketball players Soana Lucet, Brooke Jackson and Amanda Pierson walk to the bench during a Nov. 8, 2009, victory against Grand Canyon University in McKale Center. A lack of bench productivity hasn’t hurt Arizona this season as it has in the past.

Everyone loves the run-andgun style of basketball.

Its fast-paced rhythm and constant scoring curbs the lulls of a defensive battle and can keep an arena on the edge of its seat for 40 minutes.

The Arizona women’s basketball team, which plays at Oregon tonight at 8, takes ownership to this style of play, using it as an advantage over teams that are not equipped to run with the Wildcats’ offense.

“We are a fast team, and sometimes we might play slower teams who try to play fast to match us, so we have an advantage over them,” said junior forward Soana Lucet.

The run-and-gun Wildcats (11-10, 5-6 Pacific 10 conference) claim a winning record in the month of February for the first time since the 20042005 season.

Sure, the offensive style can take a lot of credit for Arizona’s success thus far this season.

But with the smallest official roster in the Pac-10, the training staff has been behind the scenes making sure head coach Niya Butts has the personnel necessary to run that offense.

With a bench of only three players during games, the Wildcats face teams that have the luxury of shuffling players from a roster of 15 fresh bodies, meaning that staying healthy was the focal point before the first game was even played.

“These girls are training yearround for the grueling season,” said associate director of performance enhancement for the team, Brian Odom. “I think all college sports are moving in that direction in which these girls are never out of shape.

“Also, a lot of the patterns that we try to develop in the weight room makes them a more efficient athlete, thus limits injury,” Odom added.

In last Saturday’s win over Washington, freshman Davellyn Whyte was banged up and left the game, leaving only two players on the bench for the rest of the game.

Strong conditioning during practice helped Arizona finish the game with a thin bench, something that Lucet says the Widcats are used to by now.

“We’ve had a short roster all

year, so we’re used to playing 30-plus minutes every game,” Lucet said.

After winning two games in a row, Arizona repositioned itself back in the thick of the Pac-10 race, and cannot afford to lose players to injury.

To avoid aggravating the abuse her players take from practice, Butts has established a good relationship with the training staff that lets her know when to take the foot off the accelerator.

“Brian Odom does a great job with them in maintenance and trying to take care of the eight that we have,” Butts said.

“I think our coaching staff does a great job of keeping me balanced, in terms of not allowing me to go nuts with the practice plans and making sure we manage our kids pretty well.”

Odom added that good communication with Butts has been important in keeping the Wildcats healthy.

“Coach Butts is also smart about the way she practices with the girls,” Odom said.

“She is smart about when to put on the intensity and when to back off.”

A refreshed roster will be key in Arizona’s rematch with Oregon (14-8, 5-5) tonight in Eugene.

The Wildcats got the best of the Ducks in a shootout in McKale Center last month, winning the highest-scoring game in Pac10 history 119-112. However, games in Oregon’s McArthur Court have been tough for Arizona in recent history, with its last win in Eugene coming in January 2004.

The Ducks boast the highest-scoring offense in the NCAA and will try to lure the Wildcats into making mistakes from their full court press to continue the UA’s drought at McArthur Court.

Knowing personnel on defense was the basis of practice this week for Butts, especially in containing Oregon’s Nicole Canepa, who netted 38 points against Arizona last month.

“We definitely don’t want to get into that type of high-scoring game, but Oregon forces you to play that way,” Butts said.

“They press, they face guard you and give you opportunities to get up and down the floor.

“We just have to be patient and poised on offense and not get forced into making some bad decisions,” she added.

ANALYSIS

UO’s Dunigan light in numbers, big in size

continued from page 8

On the road, Arizona struggled against the zone early but figured it out in the second half. Miller expects his team to react better a second time around.

“We got better as the game wore on,”Miller said of his team’s performance against the zone in Corvallis, Ore. “Hopefully the second time around will be more comfortable. Now that (we’ve) done it the first time there’s no excuses.”

Hometown: Phoenix, Arizona

Major: Economics At the Wildcat: Web Director and Photographer

Key players for Oregon Michael Dunigan — The big man is averaging a mere 10.4 points per game but is one of the better centers in the Pac-10, and his size can cause some problems for the Wildcat frontline.

Tajuan Porter — The senior point guard isn’t having the season most expected from him, averaging 11.9 points a game, but he’s capable of having a big game if he gets it going.

Why I work here: “The

Daily Wildcat is the greatest atmosphere I could imagine working in as a college student. Not many 20-yearolds are given the kind of opportunities that the Wildcat offers. Nowhere else could I be sitting on the baseline of an NCAA men’s basketball game one day and learning on-the-job leadership skills in the office the next.”

Key Wildcats to watch for

Arizona Daily Wildcat

Brendon Lavender — The guard showed signs that he could knock down jumpers against Washington, going 3-for-3 from distance in the first half. Now with two Oregon schools playing zone defenses which will provide wide-open looks, these two

games may be an opportunity for Lavender to show that last week was no fluke, and his confidence is not lacking.

Jamelle Horne — It’s simple, will Horne finally rebound the way Miller has hoped he would all year?

Derrick Williams — Williams may be the most important Wildcat against both Oregon schools, as he will be crucial on both ends of the floor. The offense will mainly run through the freshman as the Wildcats try to get the ball to him in the high post to get others open shots or allow him to drive from the top of the key to break down the zone.

On the defensive end, he will be asked to contain two solid post players in Dunigan and Schaftenaar.

Looking ahead: Key players for Oregon State

Roeland Schaftenaar — The center only averages 8 points a game but will probably come into McKale with some confidence from his 22-point performance against Arizona on Jan. 14.

Calvin Haynes — The Beavers’ leading scorer, averages 19 points a game in the last four contests, including backto-back 25-point performances against California and USC.

is giving you an understanding of the sports business,” Gilliland said.

Students pursuing a minor in sports management must complete six courses, including sports communication, sports marketing management and sports administrations and planning.

Students can also choose to obtain a sports management certificate, which only requires three courses.

Those enrolled in the sports management minor are mostly business majors, but also include psychology, journalism, communication and sociology majors.

“This is really getting students to understand the business of sports.

It means something different to be a sports fan and … to be in sports business. That certificate gives them that understanding, and the second thing it gives them a big resume boost,” Gilliland said.

Eller business students can’t pursue the minor, but are encouraged to

Marcie Dodd, as Galinda, and Helene Yorke, as Elphaba, star in a performance of ‘Wicked.’ Broadway in Tucson and UApresents are teaming up to bring ‘Wicked’ to the UA campus next spring.

Broadway show in Tucson,” she added.

With Centennial Hall hosting classes this academic year, there was potential for a conflict to arise. Bohnet said the university provosts were very flexible and allowed the show to come to campus. With the performances affecting seven days of classes, alternative locations for the affected courses will be found.

“The reason ‘Wicked’ is a topgrossing musical is because it truly is a spectacular theatre experience,” said Lendre Kearns, general manager of Broadway in Tucson.“‘Wicked’ is one of those kinds of shows that helps people fall in love with theatre.”

Despite the amount of orchestration needed to successfully plan for the show, Broadway in Tucson and UApresents are excited for the

production to hit the UA. “We all hope this is the beginning of a new relationship (for UApresents and Broadway in Tucson.) Hopefully, with this cooperation we’ll be able to bring in more big-name shows that often pass Tucson by,” Kearns said.

President Robert Shelton praised the show’s addition.

“We are extremely excited about this collaboration,” Shelton said.

“UApresents is vital to the quality of life here in Tucson and on campus.”

Tickets for “Wicked” will be available for current season ticket holders of either Broadway in Tucson or UApresents later this month. Sales for groups of 20+ will begin later this spring. Individual tickets will go on sale in the fall.

earn the certificate if they are interested in the sports industry.

The Career Fair will be an introductory program, allowing prospective students a glance into the business side of sports. It will begin with an open panel discussion in the James E. Rogers College of Law room 164 at 3 p.m. on March 4.

“We want to have a open panel discussion with all the guests talking about who they are, internship opportunities they have and how to make it in the business,” Moran said.

The program will then break off into smaller sections in the Berger Auditorium, where the speakers can talk directly to interested students.

“If someone was interested in talking to a specific speaker, they can go talk to them one-on-one about internships or any advice they might have. All these speakers are more than willing to help.

They are very connected with the

U of A and it should be a great event,” Moran said.

Ross Gasmer, an undeclared sophomore, is enthusiastic for the Sports Career Fair and is enrolling in sports management courses.

“I am excited to take the classes over the summer, and it is a good opportunity to expose myself to the business side of sports,” Gasmer said.

The sports communication class is currently being offered this spring, and students in the class are scheduled to attend a NASCAR race in Phoenix.

The class will meet a team owner, a team communication director, a driver and get a behind-the-scenes look at how a NASCAR event runs.

There are currently 200 students enrolled in the sports management minor at the UA. As the program develops, more classes will eventually be offered during the fall and spring semesters.

Chemistry freshman Sydney Walden agreed.

“It’s a creative idea, despite the fact that it’s used for condoms,” she said.

“It’s a humorous way to get someone’s attention.”
