Food bank bit by frost

’Cats win seventh straight

By Mariah Davidson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Tucson’s Community Food Bank is discontinuing its gleaning program of citrus for the remainder of the year due to the abnormally low temperatures in the last couple of weeks, leaving much of the citrus inedible.

The program usually runs from January until April.

Only 36,000 pounds of citrus fruit were collected before the freezing temperatures, compared to more than 130,000 pounds last year, said Jack Parris, a food bank spokesperson.

The lack of citrus is definitely a challenge, according to Parris, but not devastating and will be replaced with other food donations.

Although gleaning won’t be an option to contribute to the food bank for UA students, there is still UA4Food. UA4Food is an umbrella operation that incorporates the individual food drives held by students, faculty, and staff throughout the year.

“We have a terrific relationship with the university,” Parris said.

UA4Food is headed by Holly Altman, director of outreach and community partnerships in the Office of Community Relations.

Altman said the UA “does a lot in terms of supporting the food bank,” especially toward emergency food box, child hunger and nutrition programs. Altman cited the many campus-wide events, including the UA4Food Faculty and Staff Drive, from March 14 through April 6,

Regents take no definitive action on future tuition

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

An Arizona Board of Regents meeting, which began with a dozen students playing dead over what they called the “murder of public education,” ended without any definite action from the board on how to determine future tuition policy.

The topic that dominated discussion for the afternoon session of Thursday’s meeting in the Memorial Union at Arizona State University was a proposal that would raise the cap on al-

Indian art fair returns

More than 200 artists to visit campus for show

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The 18th annual Southwest Indian Art Fair will be showcasing more than 200 artists at the Arizona State Museum this weekend.

The event will kick off Friday night with a museum members’ event to congratulate winners of the art fair’s competition awards.

During the weekend, in addition to purchasing handmade art, attendees can also see artist demonstrations, a silent auction, a film showcase and musical performances by Canyon Records musicians including R. Carlos Nakai and Gabriel Ayala.

“All of the artists and all of our supporters are happy to see it back in its campus location,” said Martin Kim, sales operation manager with the Arizona State Museum.

lowable tuition levels for the three state universities. That proposal, in its current form, would raise the tuition cap from the top of the bottom third of the average tuition rates for respective peer institutions to the median for those same institutions.

Using the university’s peers as a benchmark for determining tuition was a point of contention for the regents, with Regent Chair Anne Mariucci stating such numbers were “bad data.”

would not attend here. I wanted to come here because they have a top-notch engineering college, but the cost would have prohibited me from doing that.”

J.P. Masson, a student studying English and Latin American studies, served in the Marine Corps from 2003 to 2007. He was a Florida resident but came to the UA because he has family nearby.

“It started out as a concern because I didn’t know how I could fully pay for it,” he said.

“It ended up working out well, but there were some timing issues about getting money.”

Masson is now considered an Arizona resident and said the bill will give veterans more options.

“Especially when you’re first out of the military and trying to figure out what you want to do,” he said.

Access to education is an important part of transitioning back into civilian life, Masson said.

Veterans are more likely than other groups to become homeless and commit suicide.

“We either excel or we are at the bottom rung,” Rosinski said. “We don’t have a lot of middle ground.”

All honorably discharged veterans could be eligible for in-state tuition starting next semester, if a new bill is passed.

The Arizona Students’ Association helped draft House Bill 2410 with input from the UA Student Veterans of America club last semester.

The bill will provide veterans with in-state tuition to increase their access to higher education and draw them to Arizona universities.

Veterans face challenges in attending college because they are a transient group, according to civil engineering sophomore Robert Rosinski, Arizona legislative director for the Student Veterans of America. He said a veteran may be a resident of one state but be stationed in another, which can pose problems when choosing a university after service.

Many veterans have to pay out-of-state tuition until they can achieve residency.

“If I was not married to my wife or she was not working in Arizona, I would have to pay out-of-state tuition,” said Rosinski, who served in Iraq and is still in the United States Air Force Reserves. “So I

Several regents echoed her sentiments, including Regent Fred DuVal who suggested doing away with that benchmark entirely, calling it “meaningless, antiquated, and irrelevant” and an “arbitrary straitjacket.”

“It’s like putting lipstick on a dinosaur,” he joked.

Visitors to Arizona State Museum’s 2010 annual Southwest Indian Art Fair chat with artists while perusing and purchasing a vast array of authentic, handmade artwork. This year’s art fair will feature UA student and film director Donovan Seschillie.

new partnership with the Native Eyes Film Festival, which he hopes will create a longlasting relationship.

Art demonstrations include Pascua Yaqui mask carving, Navajo flute making, Navajo sandpainting, Tohono O’odham basket weaving and Zapotec weaving.

The festival is the oldest and largest in Southern Arizona, according to Kim, and this year’s will also feature Native writers, something the fair has never done before.

One such writer is Susan Folwell, who is presenting works on contemporary changes in pueblo ceramics.

Arizona State Museum members can

shop an hour early on Saturday and have a lowered admission price of $5.

“It is a great opportunity to speak directly with artists instead of being filtered through another entity,” Kim said.

Admission for adults is $8, $3 for children 12 to 16 years old, and $12 for a two-day pass. It is free for UA and Pima Community College students with student identification, as well as for children 11 and under.

Event proceeds will help the Arizona State Museum support Native artists.

Kim’s advice for attendees is to “come early, stay for the Native foods and enjoy the music and artists.”

He said the bill will help them succeed by reducing tuition costs to what is covered by the Montgomery GI Bill, which allows veterans to receive monthly education benefits after a minimum service obligation in the military.

GI Bill awards vary based on years of service and other factors, according to Maralynn Berstein, coordinator for Veteran Services. The maximum award covers the cost of tuition and includes books and living stipends. She said the bill will help out-ofstate students who do not receive the full award.

“It will attract a lot more students who don’t have 100 percent of the GI Bill,” she said. “This benefits them tremendously.”

The bill will also benefit the university and state of Arizona, according to Elma Delic, ASA board chair. She said many veterans who come to the state for college will live here after graduation.

“They will continue to be an economic driver in the state of Arizona,” said Delic, a journalism and political science senior.

Veterans also bring diversity to the school and the state, she said. Many of them have traveled the world and can bring their experiences back to campus.

“Veterans offer a different perspective to bring back to the UA community,” Delic said.

Two committees already passed the bill. It will then go before the Arizona House of Representatives within the next few weeks.

“From what we hear, we have a pretty good chance of passing,” Rosinksi said.

Rosinski said the bill has received some opposition from those who do not support U.S. war policies but has strong support overall.

“Some people say ‘Why aren’t you giving that to regular students?’” Rosinksi said. “Our opinion, being veterans and the opinion of many people who work with us, is that this is completing the promise that was told to us when we joined up.”

FOOD continued from page 1 and the Staff Advisory Council’s Stuff the CatTran event, where students and community members can bring food to University Boulevard and Cherry Avenue.

Campus food drives run into many of the same problems with netting fresh food donations and remain more focused around non-perishable food and monetary donations, Altman said.

“Because they are perishable, the logistics of that, considering how spread out the UA is, would be difficult,” Altman said. “You get produce that is a couple of days old and where do you store it?”

Low temperatures make citrus hard to store, and once frozen, close to inedible according to Glenn Wright, associate research scientist at the UA Yuma Agricultural Center and citrus specialist.

Anything below 28 degrees for more than four hours, Wright said, constitutes temperatures damaging to fruit.

First, the fruit “gets slushy on the inside as juice sacs freeze,” Wright said, then the fruit becomes squishy to the touch, followed by a drying of the juice sacs.

Wright mentioned some varieties of citrus are more susceptible to freezing temperature than others. Lemons and limes are the most sensitive, while oranges and

determine tuition was more of a compromise than anything else.

“The regents that preceded us were not idiots, for the most part,” Calderón said. “If we throw this out, the question is what is going to be that measurement? What is going to be that benchmark?”

Several regents, namely Mariucci and Regent Mark Killian, questioned how universities determined their peer institutions.

“When you set the price of the product we’re producing, I just don’t want to use an arbitrary list to determine that,” Killian said.

All three university presidents, UA’s Robert Shelton, ASU’s Michael Crow, and NAU’s John Haeger, said peers were determined through similarities in size, scope and mission, rather than financial factors such as state appropriation or tuition levels.

DuVal responded that he does not believe other states deal with the same challenges, such as expected enrollment growth and state budget cuts, that Arizona universities do.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal, in his first official meeting as a member of the board, said that these sorts of benchmarks usually drive up costs.

grapefruit have moderate resistance to cold and tangerines stand up well in cold temperatures, Wright said.

Consuming fallen fruit runs the risk of food poisoning and other illnesses. “We don’t recommend picking them up,” Wright said. The best thing to do is to juice them before they fall on the ground, according to Wright.

Parris said homeowners with verified, undamaged fruit can donate to the Community Food Bank and the organization will send someone to collect the fruit.

In case another sudden freeze pops up, Wright had several recommendations for protecting your citrus plants: irrigate the water around the plant because wet soil holds heat better than dry soil, cover the plant from the ground up to trap warm air in the canopy, and use old Christmas lights that produce heat, or buying a shop lamp.

The idea is to keep the plant and fruit as warm as possible.

said the policy, as it currently stands, does not give the universities or the regents the freedom they need to address potential problems.

“This policy we have is really restrictive,” McLendon said. “It doesn’t give us any flexibility to move with the times.”

Jennifer Ginther, a student regent from NAU, said she was concerned that there was not enough student input on the process of determining the proposal. A few regents suggested forming a student taskforce to give feedback ahead of the resolution of the issue at the regents’ next meeting in April.

The Arizona Students’ Association released a statement praising Ginther’s efforts as an “advocate for students.”

“On behalf of Arizona students, we thank her and all the Regents for deciding to give students a voice in the tuition and fee setting process,” the statement reads.

Other business:

Alternative methods to degrees All three universities presented their enterprise initiatives for developing lowcost options and alternative degree pathways outside of their main campuses.

Some regents said they were worried about efforts being duplicated, since the policies were developed independent of each other.

DuVal said more work needed to be done to weed out redundant and unproductive programs.

“I think what we’ve done, we’ve gone about for the right reason but we haven’t done the hard work to figure out what we want to grow into,” DuVal said.

Crow said it was impossible to tell which programs are or might be redundant if they have not been instituted yet. “The market is a powerful force,” Crow said. “If you launch programs, and no one comes, then you have a redundant program.”

Mariucci said that the university system enterprise model is vital for continued solvency of higher education in Arizona.

“This isn’t a choice, this isn’t an innovation, this is a mandate of what we have to do to survive, this is our future,” she said.

Funding

Daniel Hatch, the president of the undergraduate student government at ASU’s west campus, said the regents should reexamine how funding is allocated, namely the “40-40-20” split that is currently employed. Under that system, both ASU and the UA receive 40 percent of allocations and NAU receives 20 percent.

“I think (the model) is a bit arcane and I don’t think it represents the will of the people,” Hatch said.

Roll joint, light joint, lose joint

A male UA student was cited for marijuana possession immediately after lighting up on Wednesday at 10:36 p.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer on bike patrol near Coronado Residence Hall noticed a student sitting on a bench north of the building and detected a strong smell of marijuana.

The officer, who turned around to talk with him, told the student there was a strong odor of marijuana in the area.

The student said he knew the reason why the officer may be smelling marijuana and lifted his right leg to reveal a two inch rolled up cigarette.

The student told the officer that it was a marijuana joint he had just lit when he saw the officer ride around.

The student said the marijuana was the only illegal item in his possession and that his dorm room was clear of all illegal items.

The marijuana was purchased off campus and the student didn’t know the name of the person who sold it.

The officer cited the student for possession of marijuana and placed the joint into UAPD property as evidence. The officer also filled out a Dean of Students Office code of conduct referral.

The student was released on the scene.

BMX rider caught for failure to appear

A non-UA affiliated man was arrested for failure to appear after being caught doing BMX tricks on campus on Wednesday at 4:58 p.m.

A UAPD officer responded to McClelland Park building in response to a police aide who was having difficulty with subjects who were doing bike tricks on campus at 4:46 p.m.

While the officer was on the way to the building, the UAPD communications office advised that one of the subjects had an outstanding warrant from the Pima County Sheriff’s Office for failure to appear on trespassing charges.

Upon arrival, the officer observed the three males on BMX bikes on the southwest corner of the McClelland Park building.

When officer met with the men, the subjects admitted to doing tricks on campus on their bikes.

The officer asked the group for identification and the first one was found to be the one with an outstanding warrant.

The officer confirmed with UAPD that the man was indeed wanted for failure to appear.

The officer then placed the man under arrest and detained him.

The man vaguely remembered being arrested by the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, but thought that he had already taken care of paying for the charges.

The man admitted, though, that he may have missed the last payment.

The officer arrested the man for failure to appear and began a search incident to arrest of the man’s person.

When the officer found unidentifiable objects in the man’s pocket and asked what they were, the man simply replied, “Weed.”

The officer cited the man for possession of marijuana and transported him to Pima County Jail.

She’s just not that into you

A female UA student reported received harassing calls and text messages to UAPD on Wednesday at 2:38 p.m.

The student told the officer that the messages were from a friend from high school.

The friend wanted to be “more than friends” with the student, but she wanted to only be friends and had explained that to this friend in the past.

After high school, the two lost contact with each other.

Recently, the friend contacted the student on Facebook and they decided to meet for coffee.

After their meeting, the two went back to the student’s residence hall.

The friend attempted to hold the student’s hand and kissed the student several times on the shoulder.

The student never told the friend to stop, but would move her hand if the friend tried to hold it.

On Monday, the student told the friend she was not interested in a romantic relationship and requested that the friend leave her alone.

The friend continued to send several text messages and phone calls.

One of the texts contained a threat to show the emails between the two to a man the student was interested in.

The officer contacted the friend and told him that the student did not want to be contacted again.

The friend said that he “got the hint” on Monday and wasn’t planning on contacting the student.

The officer said the student would be pressing harassment charges if contacted again.

The friend said he understood and requested the officer also tell the student to not contact him in any way.

The officer explained to the student how to obtain a restraining order from the Pima County Court.

EDITORIAL Pass/Fail

P

During its meeting on Wednesday, ASUA passed a resolution against four separate bills in the Arizona Legislature that would each allow students or faculty to carry concealed weapons on campus.

The legislation would also prevent Arizona universities from prohibiting concealed carry on their own campuses.

What that legislation fails to address is that higher education campuses like the UA’s have enough to be concerned about without wondering who’s carrying what in secret.

It’s best for students to allow the University of Arizona Police Department to do its job, and for students to focus on why they’re here: Education.

Pass to ASUA for taking a stand for the constituents they’re supposed to serve. Now if only they’d figure out that whole “Arts and Culture” Festival thing.

A dozen victims of the Jan. 8 shooting were honored on Thursday at a Red Cross ceremony.

The 2011 Red Cross Real Heroes Awards was combined with the American Red Cross’ annual fundraising event. More than 500 people attended the luncheon at Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa to honor the survivors for their bravery and selflessness in the shooting’s aftermath.

For continuing to be a kind and supportive community, even after life has returned to normal and the national media have gone, a pass to Tucson and the Red Cross.

It was announced at Thursday’s meeting of the Arizona Board of Regents that, by 2020, 31 percent of undergraduate enrollment at Arizona universities will be made up of out-of-state students, and 28 percent of education revenue will come from them. Tuition for out-of-state students will rise, though it will remain below outof-state tuition at most comparable universities.

We don’t live in a world where education is free. Unfortunately, sometimes it has to be treated like a business. But students should hope that university decision-makers don’t look at them and just see dollar signs.

The regents, and university leaders, should have the best interests of all students (not just the ones from Arizona) in mind.

A fail to the regents, who need to remember that students aren’t just sources of revenue.

During a speech to the D.C. chapter of the conservative Federal society, Sen. Jim DeMint, a Republican from South Carolina said, “This whole idea that the president is the leader of our country is a mistake.” Um, what?

DeMint, whose speech also covered national debt, the 2012 election and the repeal of health care reform, claimed, “Leadership starts in the homes of communities, in businesses, in churches. I’ve lived in a community and I know where the leaders are and it’s not in Washington.”

DeMint’s argument is flawed for one simple reason: High school government class. Barack Obama is the president of the United States.

Period. As much as you disagree with his politics and policies, he doesn’t just stop being the president because you say so. For pandering to rightwing extremists and ignoring simple government course curriculums, a fail to Jim DeMint.

His presence is one that is felt throughout campus and his visibility is never doubted. If I were to give him a grade on transparency and messaging, he would get a grade only the holy presence upstairs could grant.

Brother Jed has become such an effective voice on our campus because he doesn’t just sit at a table out on the mall with a listserv clipboard. He shouts at the top of his lungs. He calls us out for our flaws and decision-making. He holds us each accountable for our actions. He holds us accountable for what we do, and most importantly, for what we don’t do.

Now, I’m not a religious person in the framework of organized religions, nor am I advocating for what he preaches.

Instead, I’m a huge believer in the effectiveness of transparent grassroots organizing for defining a message, especially when it comes to the rights of

students. When I say organizing, I mean creating a collective group of individuals passionate about change, developing a plan to recruit and brainstorming a strategy to demand attention to an issue, with strong emphasis on passion and attention.

When it comes to our own campus, passion isn’t to be doubted. But when it comes to grabbing the attention of those who make decisions for us and, recently, against us, I’m ashamed to say that more people know who Brother Jed is and what he stands for than they do of groups or organizations that can mobilize students on our campus.

For instance, the Arizona Students’ Association had a kick-off event on Feb. 2 to highlight their goals on fighting tuition increases and budget cuts. Affordability and accessibility are among those visions for higher education.

On Feb. 17, ASA held their 34th annual Lobby Day at the Arizona Capitol, taking more than 100 students with them and holding about 60 meetings with representatives at the state level. In the past, they’ve even been bold enough to even take signs with them, chants and actual goals to raise money for scholarships.

ASA has 34 years of experience attending Lobby Day. Two years back, thousands of students from all three state universities gathered at the Capitol to march against a projected 40 percent increase in tuition. ASA organized that march. And when students remember

that day, but aren’t feeling the urgency of now, we’ve got to ask: Where did that energy go?

That’s where we lose interest in Brother Jed. He never escalates his tactics. We can always expect him to be out on the Mall, in front of the Administration building, shouting at students. We hear him, yes, but his effectiveness fails because we know it’s the same delivery with the same message.

The same goes for Lobby Day. We’ve had 3,000 students go up to the Capitol in the past, and only got 100 this year.

It’s a sign we’ve got to pump out that grassroots organizing. We’ve got to take a campus-wide field trip, mandated by our own president, to save our education.

When ASA says they want to reach out to student organizations, we’ve got to feel the call for civic responsibility and be a collective voice.

The Arizona Board of Regents wants to pass a policy removing student input in decision-making. They even want to remove sections of their hearing processes where students can voice their oppositions. These are all issues upon which we’ve got to mobilize. Gov. Jan Brewer plans on cutting $170 million from higher education. Isn’t that an issue?

The dangerous unawareness of our own student body could keep the Capitol from ever hearing our voice.

Middle East unrest calls on youth for action Tanner Weigel Arizona Daily Wildcat

H

osni Mubarak is out, so Egypt should be on its way to a new model democracy, right? Well, unfortunately nothing is quite that simple, and Egypt is now facing a major fork in the road.

On one side, a tenuous situation simmers as the temporary military leaders try to sort things out before open elections in six months (or nine or 12 or 15 …). On the other, the Muslim Brotherhood is lying low, not trying to attract too much attention, but is ready to pounce with Sharia law.

So here is the conundrum: One of Mubarak’s arguments for staying in office a while longer was that his firm rule was the only thing keeping out the extremists, but in a free society, you can’t really keep banning political groups that might possibly, sometime in the future, espouse radicalism.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the rest of the Middle East, where popular resistance movements are springing up everywhere, each its own interpretation of the events that transpired in Egypt. This sets up a major hurdle for democratic progress in the region

because, when dictators fall, others like to move right in. Does Iran ring a bell?

Yes, like just about any issue in the Middle East, it all goes back to Iran somehow. Iran kicked out its repressive monarch back in the late 1970s, but the vacuum was quickly filled with, you guessed it, religious fundamentalism.

And in Iran (where the ruling Mullahs make Hosni Mubarak’s dictatorship look rather benign), protests have started to ignite again. Unfortunately, Iran’s time for change seemed to be back in 2009 during a string of summer revolts, and apparently our country’s government did not want to upset Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with any support for the demonstrators. Yeah, anyone see a missed opportunity there?

This makes a successful movement in Iran much more difficult at this point.

But to be sure, the regime in Iran will fall. Not tomorrow, and maybe not even in coming years, but its level of repression cannot be sustained. Calls by hardliners on Tuesday to execute opposition leaders perfectly illustrate such a point. Where the Egyptian military has used relative restraint with regard to protesters, Iranian secret police don’t miss a beat when cracking down on demonstrators.

If you haven’t been following the recent events in the Middle East due to lack of information or interest, the demonstrators and their goals should be enough to capture your attention, because the protesters are you.

They are the youth, and they want a piece of the democracy that we enjoy.

Youth participation effectively fueled the recent events in Egypt, and with a median age of roughly 26 years old for the Iranian population, you better believe that young adults lead the protests there as well. When dictators stay in power for decades, the divide between them and the youngest segments of society become extremely pronounced, and when those youngsters also happen to be educated, unemployed and frustrated with their leaders, they will take to the streets.

Oh, and we mustn’t forget the role of social media in all of this. No, not a blog posting on the most recent development in the train wreck that is Lindsay Lohan, or a tweet expressing an individual’s catching of Bieber fever. What I am talking about is the mass circulation of information that both unites a movement and helps the outside world gain if but a glimpse into the backwards world that is a totalitarian state. By time you read this, so much could have already changed in the Middle East. But one thing is certain: The youth are galvanized and ready to lead their countries into the future. I stand with them. The question is, do you?

Campus Rail Jam Tour snowboard competitor What happened the first time you got on a board? What did your mind, body and soul experience?

I think it was about 10 years ago. I was on the top of the world. I felt comfortable. I skateboarded since I was a little kid, so it was not that hard.

Worst crash you’ve been in on the slopes?

I hit a jump earlier this year and landed on my head. It felt good. I never get hurt. I’ll fall a lot, but I’ll always land up on my feet — like rolling somehow. It’s kind of amazing.

Coolest thing you can do on the slopes?

Maybe a backflip, we’ll see about today.

On Saturday night am I going to find you at a dance club or a strip club?

A dance club …

What is something you want to ask God? Why people spend so much time working and not enjoying life.

Would you ask the Satan the same?

I would ask him why he keeps tempting me.

Design Chief Olen Lenets

Supersized supermodel has big, big plans The heavens may be closer when you’re 6-foot-8, but that doesn’t mean you stop reaching for the stars.

So is the case for a woman known professionally as Amazon Eve, who is about to reach a big milestone by being officially declared “the world’s tallest model.”

Amazon Eve, who uses that name because her real name is taken by another model, has just won the coveted title from an organization called the Federation of World Records and says she will put her height to the test next month when

Guinness World Records officials see if she measures up.

“They are going to measure me at morning, noon and night, so we’ll see,” she said. “However, the previous record holder is 6-foot-4, so it looks good.”

However, a Guinness representative said that while Amazon Eve has submitted a claim, officials still need to verify her modeling career before they will consider the record.

Regardless of what happens, the struggle to be recognized represents a long climb for this long-legged beauty — a climb away from an

abusive childhood and awkward teenage years when she was 5-foot11 at the age of 14 to a place where she can stand tall.

“I studied theater as an undergrad before going to law school to become a paralegal,” she said. “But many of the acting jobs I got had me playing monsters and aliens in B movies and the token basketball player. I was ready to do something different.”

So she became a personal trainer, but when the bottom fell out of that career in 2009, she started looking for other career plans.

Wildcats snap road drought

By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona women’s basketball team overcame its road struggles and secured its second win in a row after defeating the Washington State Cougars, 78-61, last night in Pullman, Wash.

For the Wildcats, (15-9, 7-7 Pacific 10 Conference) it was their first road win since defeating New Mexico on Dec. 7. With the added momentum from their upset win against ASU last weekend, the team was able to pull away from the Cougars (8-18, 6-8 Pac-10) all night.

The Wildcats got out to a quick jump after the tip, starting the game on a 10-2 run on the back of guard Davellyn Whyte.

Washington State wouldn’t be outdone, as they quickly turned the tables and forced the pressure on Arizona by taking advantage of mistakes and pushing to a 1514 Cougar advantage with 12:15 left on the clock.

Arizona was down for the

rest of the first half, with their closest deficit coming at the halftime buzzer after a free throw, forward Ify Ibekwe put the Wildcats within one point, down 36-35 going into the locker room.

After the break, the two teams kept pace with each other, and the Cougars maintained control leading by a small margin, 4849 with 11:53 left on the clock.

The Wildcats then found their offensive stride, racing to a 20-5 run over the next six minutes.

Arizona was able to fend off Wazzou for the rest of the game, claiming the victory.

Whyte and Ibekwe continued lead the charge for the Wildcats as they have all season long, each scoring 20 and 23 points respectively.

Ibekwe also secured another double-double, hauling in 13 rebounds.

The Wildcats continue their tour of Washington on Saturday, heading to Seattle to take on the University of Washington Huskies.

BASEBALL continued from page 9 Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Arizona will return its entire lineup, save for utility man Rafael Valenzuel, but the Wildcats will be without arguably their best offensive player, right fielder Steve Selsky.

CHOL continued from page 9 “I wanted to be in a situation (where I could) play early in my career and have a chance to win a national championship,” Chol said. “I feel with this recruiting class we will have that chance.”

Chol is listed as the No. 76 overall player, according to Rivals.com and the No. 43 prospect on Scout.com.

At Hoover High, he averaged 23.4 points, 14.8 rebounds and 8.1 blocked shots per contest.

He also has versatility, shooting at a 36 percent clip from beyond the 3-point arc, according to Scout.com.

He joins guards Josiah Turner and Nick Johnson along with forward Sidiki Johnson in the class.

Cats moving forward with new bats

The biggest offseason controversy is the ushering in of the new bat regulations, and the Wildcats have finally come to terms with what they will be swinging.

Junior catcher Jett Bandy, who has been

named to a few preseason All-American lists, is in heavy support of the more traditional offense being reintroduced with the decreased power.

“With that aluminum bat, you can get away with a lot sometimes,” he said. “You can get jammed and it will go over that outfielder ’s head, hit it off the end and it’ll go off the second baseman’s head.

Now (hits) really have to be fundamentally sound and short to the ball.”

Check DailyWildcat.com for UA tennis, gymnastics and IceCats previews

for the Wildcats, quarterback Matt Scott will redshirt this season and most likely compete with Savage for the starting job in 2012. Even if Scott gets the nod as a redshirt senior, the Wildcats will have Savage as their starter the following season, filling a void Arizona’s feared for years.

The 6-foot-4, 217-pound Pennsylvanian put together a stellar freshman season after choosing Rutgers over Miami (Fla.), Michigan, Penn State, Georgia and Florida State, among other programs.

He started in 10 of 12 games in 2009, throwing for 2,211 yards, 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while boasting a 128.75 quarterback rating and 52.3 completion percentage. Savage fell out of favor in 2010 as he played in only six games.

After Savage made it clear he wanted to transfer, Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano wouldn’t grant the quarterback permission to transfer to Miami, who reportedly had heavy interest in Savage. Shiano finally allowed Savage to talk to Miami, among other schools, in late January. But the newest member of the Wildcats visited only one school (the UA) and wasted no time in choosing Arizona.

Hoops hype is building

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Both Arizona and Washington State had a monster on their basketball team, but after conference player of the year candidates Derrick Williams and Klay Thompson slugged it out, it all came down to basketball’s most boring practice exercise — free throws.

The Wildcats hit 24-for-26, and the Cougars went 11-for-15 from the foul line despite having more field goals in the game.

“Sometimes in practice when you break from live action to free throws, it becomes boring,” Miller said. “It’s like, ‘Oh, free throws again.’

“It’s moments like today where I think everyone realizes how important it is.”

Weathering Thompson’s 30 point onslaught, the Wildcats (22-4, 11-2 Pacific 10 Conference) negated his outing with forward Derrick Williams’ 26 points, all while gaining contributions from a number of his teammates in a 79-70 victory in McKale Center last night.

Six Wildcats scored five or more points. Point guard Momo Jones poured in 10 and forward Solomon Hill added 10 in the second half to finish with 12 points, including a 3-pointer with three minutes to go that put the pressure on the Cougars (17-9, 7-7 Pac-10) and gave Arizona a double-digit lead.

The Wildcats led 41-33 by intermission despite Williams failing to hit a field goal until almost 13 minutes into the game.

Out of the halftime break, Hill, who had two first-half points, scored the first seven points for Arizona to ignite a 9-0 run. “(I) just assert myself, take open shots,” Hill said. “Just make them play me, keep them honest. It was just playing, waiting for it to come for me, not forcing the issue.”

But after UA built a 52-35 lead, Thompson caught fire, scoring 11 points in less than four minutes to break the deficit to single digits at 56-48 with 12:38 remaining. He hit on five 3-pointers and shot 11-for24 overall, though it wasn’t due to a

lack of Arizona’s effort.

“I tried my best to make him shoot tough 2s,” said guard Kyle Fogg, who led UA with seven assists. “It doesn’t even matter if he’s got (a hand in face).

“We just tried to make sure nobody else gets points up on the board.”

didn’t allow other WSU players to get hot, setting up Saturday’s highly anticipated game against the Washington Huskies.

All thanks to free throws.

Said Miller: “We don’t make our free throws, you can make the argument that game goes down to the final possession or final minutes. It was such a difference.”

Arizona set to play ball

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Catcher Jett Bandy will be expected to lead the Wildcat offense for the first month of the season while outfielder Steve Selsky nurses an injury. The Wildcats will host North Dakota State for a three-game series this weekend.

As the No. 19 Arizona baseball team begins its season tonight with a three-game homestand against North Dakota State . The Wildcats’ biggest goal is to prove how much last year ’s young team has matured.

“We’re going to have more of a drive this year to prove to everyone that we aren’t young anymore,” said sophomore ace and Friday’s starter Kurt Heyer. “We’re going to hopefully get to a super regional (playoff), and then to Omaha this year.”

The Wildcats picked up a playoff win last season, but it wasn’t quite what they had in mind after a 20-4 start to the season evaporated into a 3424 record by season’s end.

“I think they’re hungry.

They’re tired of me, and practice and inters quad,” said head coach Andy Lopez . “I think they ended the way they didn’t want to end last season. They started off extremely hot last year but spit oil at the end.”

Arizona will have its first chance at redemption this evening against a Bisons team that the Wildcats have never played in the 105-year team history.

Coached by former Arizona pitcher Tod Brown , the Bisons are fresh off their best season as a Division-I program, winning 22 games and finishing sixth in the Summit League last year.

The wildcats will go after the Bisons with trio of right-handers, with Heyer getting the nod tonight and Kyle Simon and Tyler Hale taking over on BASEBALL, page 7

The buzz around Arizona basketball gets louder by the day, and on Thursday it went up another notch.

Arizona started the day by beating out North Carolina and Kansas for recruit Angelo Chol, then ended with a win against a solid team, Washington State.

As No.12 Arizona continues to win, it also continues to gain national attention. After Southern California head coach Kevin O’Neill called Arizona his sleeper pick to win the National Championship on a radio show Wednesday, WSU head coach Ken Bone gave his own approval of the Wildcats on Thursday night.

“There’s a reason (Arizona) is ranked whatever they’re ranked in the country and why they win so much at home,” Bone said.

Despite Bone getting a solid game from Pacific 10 Conferenceleading scorer Klay Thompson, who had 30 points on 11-for-24 shooting, the Wildcats proved to be too much on their home court.

“They have so many guys,” Bone added. “You may stop one, two, three, four or five guys but there is still someone else that can play.

“That’s why those teams are in the top 20.”

As the Wildcats have been climbing in rankings, McKale Center has gotten louder with each game, and that crowd factor will be even more important on Saturday when Arizona welcomes Washington, the last team to defeat the Wildcats.

“They’re going to come in and try to bully us but I look forward to it,” said forward Solomon Hill.

“Especially being a home crowd, we beat these guys last year and it’ll be good to get them again this year, especially in front of McKale.”

On Saturday, McKale will be host to the biggest game in the Sean Miller era at Arizona and the nation will see it on ESPN. “Saturday’s game is going to be a big one, for a lot of reasons, outside of our arena,” Miller said.

While the Wildcats have looked like a potentially dangerous team in the last few weeks, the Huskies made them look like a team that may have a ceiling the last time they met in Seattle on Jan. 20.

Arizona lost that game 68-85.

“We talked to our team, when you show up at McKale on Saturday you better be ready as an Arizona player,” Miller said.

“Washington is not a team that will come in here not believing, they have great toughness about them and we really have to be ready for that game.”

2011 recruit Chol picks UA

Already ranking as Rivals.com’s No. 9 best 2011 recruiting class, the Arizona men’s basketball team added a fourth member to its incoming group.

Pulling down the zipper to his jacket, 6-foot-8, 205 pound forward Angelo Chol out of San Diego Hoover High School revealed an Arizona T-shirt while committing to the Wildcats over a live Internet broadcast on Thursday.

“There were many reasons for my decision,” Chol said during the press conference, which was muted

but reported by ESPN. “(UA coach Sean Miller) has had great success with players like (Charlotte Bobcats player) Derrick Brown and current Wildcat Derrick Williams, and they feel I can be in the same mold.”

Making good news for Miller, Chol denied offers from final suitors Kansas and North Carolina.

Dropping recruiting pushes from Washington and Alabama, he cut his final decision to the three teams afKelly Kline/Nike ter this past weekend’s visit to Seattle, Wash.

Savage chooses Arizona

Arizona football appears to have finally solidified its quarterback blueprint for at least the next three seasons.

After finishing up his official visit on Thursday, former Rutgers quarterback Tom Savage decided to join the Wildcats next season.

“Coaches were awesome, campus is great and I bonded with the players a lot,” Savage told TucsonCitizen.com via text message.

TucsonCitizen.com broke the news early Thursday morning, and the acquisition was confirmed shortly after. Savage has already signed an aid agree-

ment and will enroll in the summer, according to a release.

Savage, who was an AllAmerican freshman with the Scarlet Knights in 2009, will have to sit out next season but will be eligible to play in 2012 and 2013.

“Tom’s a great addition to our recruiting class,” head coach Mike Stoops said in the release. “It gives us a gameexperienced quarterback to compete in the near future.

Getting him is similar to us getting Nick (Foles) as a transRivals.com fer a few years back.”
