Students apply to join UA president for breakfast JADE NUNES Arizona Daily Wildcat

UA students have the opportunity to apply to eat breakfast with university President Ann Weaver Hart and get to know her on a more personal level.

The breakfast, which Hart and members of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona have been planning since the summer, will provide an open forum for 25 students interested in conversing with the president.

The event, which is the first one for “The U of A Breakfast Club,” will be held on Feb. 14 at 8 a.m. in the Student Union Memorial Center Ventana room. There will be a second dinner on April 23.

“Dr. Hart and I met for the first time in July and we talked about an event where she could get to know students on a more personal level,” ASUA President Katy Murray said.

“She’s excited to start this tradition at the U of A.” Hart has a very demanding schedule, which made it a challenge to find a date when she was available to meet with students, Murray said. Hart didn’t want to advertise the breakfast

KYLE WASSON/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

UA PRESIDENT ANN WEAVER HART WILL meet with 25 students and discuss topics of interest with them on Feb. 14 and again on April 23.

as having a specific agenda, but rather allow students to talk and discuss topics of interest and concern with their president, she added.

“I think it may be something that future UA presidents continue,” Murray said. “I think it’s going to be a really cool event.”

Bruce Shelton, a senior studying finance and ASUA

cabinet member expressed his excitement for the event.

“I’m definitely going to go to the event,” Shelton said. “There are a lot of people excited for it.”

Shelton has worked alongside Murray to plan the breakfast and he said he thinks it’s important for students to realize that Hart really cares about the students.

“She’s really excited for it,”

Shelton said. “There really hasn’t been an event quite like this.”

Some students said the event is a good way for Hart to show her dedication to students and their interests.

“Obviously it would be ridiculous to try and get to know the entire student population,” said Melissa Midmore, a veterinary science sophomore.

“But reaching out to get to know a wide variety of students and the things they’re interested in, whether it be school related or not, would be a good thing for her to do.”

However, other students said they don’t think the event will offer much.

“The UA president cannot really do much for me in my opinion,” said Simon Noudelman, a sophomore studying electrical engineering and math. “I pay my dues. I go to class and the only people I really need to know are my advisers and professors.”

Students interested in going to the event must submit an application to the ASUA front desk by 5 p.m. today. Students will be notified if they have been selected to attend via email on Feb. 8.

UA alum tweets cleavage to boost athletics University officials reject affiliation with account KELSI THORUD Arizona Daily Wildcat

A new Twitter account promotes Arizona Athletics in an unconventional way.

The account @ZonaBoobs was created less than a month ago and already has more than 1,400 followers. The account’s mission statement is “We support Wildcat Athletics by tweeting our girls in UofA apparel!

No nudity. No affiliation with UofA.” The creator, a recent UA graduate who asked to remain anonymous, tweets pictures of women’s cleavage in UA apparel with the aim of promoting UA athletic events.

“The primary goal of this account has always been to promote school spirit and support for not only our basketball teams, but for Wildcat athletics overall,” said the account’s creator in an email interview, ”Albeit this is a different and specialized kind of ‘support’.”

The site is set up to be completely anonymous with both the account creator and the identities of the women in the photos hidden. Women are instructed to send in pictures of their cleavage in UA apparel to an email address, then the account holder posts the photos on the Twitter profile. So far, the account has tweeted more than 400 posts of women’s chests.

“I think it’s just a fun thing and it’s something you can send in and be a little risky but your face isn’t showing so you’re totally anonymous,” said Angela Rasmusson, a frequent poster to the account and a third-year law student. “Everybody is really supportive of each other.

Nobody’s been mean to me or said rude things, everyone is really positive.”

This trend, known as #boobment, has recently swept the nation. The University of Kansas was the first college to start an account less than a year ago and currently has just over 34,000 followers. Now, most major universities and almost every Pac-12 school, have a #boobment account. The UA already has more followers than Cal, Oregon State, USC, Stanford, Washington, and Washington State combined.

With more than 2,200 followers, ASU has the only Pac-12 #boobment page more popular than the UA’s.

Cadets praise women in combat decision RYAN REVOCK Arizona Daily Wildcat

A U.S. Army infantry unit from the 82nd Airborne Division leaves Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan well after sunset on its way to search a small town east of Kandahar for enemy combatants.

Shortly after leaving the city, the lead truck hits a roadside bomb and is engulfed in flames, and immediately the convoy starts taking heavy machine gun fire from the west.

The second truck in the convoy starts laying down fire on the enemy position with the truck’s

.50-caliber machine gun.

The soldier in the turret engaging the enemy is a woman.

This scenario could soon be a reality after a recent announcement from the U.S. Department of Defense that there are plans to remove “genderbased barriers to service.”

Each branch of service is expected to submit a plan on how to enact this change by May 15, and the Department of Defense plans on having the military fully integrated by the beginning of 2016, according to a Department

US military offers medical help to Afghan civilians Mcclatchy Tribune

KABUL — When he saw the flowing blood, Mohammed Anwar at first thought his son was dead. Fiveyear-old Muqadas had been shot in the head in June during a firefight between U.S. forces and Taliban insurgents in eastern Afghanistan.

But Anwar’s quick response not only saved his son’s life, it also secured modern medical treatment that has allowed Muqadas to resume a normal life.

Thousands of Afghan civilians are killed or maimed each year in warfare, and most are doomed to rudimentary medical care in this impoverished country. In Muqadas’ case, there was no hospital or clinic near his home, so Anwar drove to a U.S. military base about a mile from his remote village in Lowgar province. When gate guards saw his critically wounded son, they rushed him inside, where U.S. Army medics worked to stop the bleeding.

Within minutes, Anwar recalled, he and his son were placed aboard a medevac helicopter for a 10-minute flight to the American medical facility at Bagram air base near Kabul. There, emergency medical treatment saved the boy’s life.

The U.S. military specializes in treating serious wounds, including head and brain injuries caused by bullets or shrapnel. The Bagram hospital is staffed by specialists such as neurosurgeons, and has sophisticated medical equipment not available in Afghan hospitals.

Muqadas emerged from an eightday coma partially paralyzed and with severe neurological damage. He was transferred to a medical program run by the U.S. Agency for International Development. Treated by Western and Afghan doctors and nurses, the boy has since learned to walk and talk normally.

Since December 2011, USAID’s Afghan Civilian Assistance Program has provided medical treatment for 180 Afghan patients. That’s a tiny fraction of the tens of thousands of Afghans wounded in fighting or by mines or roadside bombs since 2001, but for Muqadas, the care probably saved him from lifelong paralysis.

“He couldn’t walk; he could hardly open his eyes,” Anwar said in a Kabul civilian hospital ward where his son is undergoing outpatient physical

therapy. He gestured toward the boy, who sat quietly in his lap. “And look at him now.”

Muqadas whispered to his father and smiled shyly. A plump boy with cropped black hair and a round face, he’s active and energetic and plays with other children. He is undergoing therapy for partial paralysis in his left foot, which causes a slight limp.

Three months ago, the boy was confined to a hospital bed. He had difficulty speaking, eating and drinking.

“He lay on the bed like a piece of meat,” said Dr. Abdul Shakur Furmoli, who has helped direct Muqadas’ care under the USAID program. “Now this child is 99 percent returned to his normal life. He has a small limp — that’s all — and we’re working to correct that.”

Afghans wounded during combat between U.S. and coalition forces and insurgents, regardless of which side is directly responsible. (In its latest casualty report, the United Nations said that in 2011, at least 3,021 Afghans were killed and 4,507 wounded in war-related incidents, with insurgents responsible for 77 percent of the deaths.)

In Muqadas’ case, American officials at the ACAP program said they were unable to determine which side fired the bullet that struck the boy. Anwar said he didn’t know; he said his son was wounded after Taliban fighters fired on two U.S. helicopters.

The bullet remains embedded in the boy’s skull, left there by doctors at Bagram. Because Muqadas’ brain is healing, Furmoli said, there is no medical reason to risk surgery to remove the projectile.

Starting in late September, the Serengetee team will travel for a year, visiting four continents in the hopes of expanding business, Westberg said. The trip will be filmed to raise awareness about global issues. This year, Serengetee collaborations with celebrity sponsors are in the works, as well as other unannounced charitable events.

“I’ve never been so passionate and hyperfocused on anything like I have been on Serengetee,” Westberg said. “I’ve found what I want to do for the next five years plus. I love everything about the company.”

everyone, not only Wildcat fans, can get behind and that’s why the follower count continues to rise,” the account creator said.

Students on the UA campus had mixed feelings about the purpose of the account and the reputation it may bring to the university.

“It kind of seems like it’s demeaning to women and it doesn’t seem like a very good image for the school to have,” said Alexis Grainger, a civil engineering sophomore. “People across the country know ASU for the Undie Run and I don’t want to be known for having girls with big boobs.”

Scott Johnson, a pre-med freshman, said he thinks the account is more amusing than anything else.

“I don’t know if it’s doing anything for attendance,” Johnson said.

“I think its just fun entertainment for whoever made it.”

The UA Bookstore has no affiliation with the account and has not seen any increase in sales due to the advertising of its shirts in the photographs posted on the profile, according to Ryan Osborne, an apparel sales assistant at the Student Union Memorial Center.

The UA athletics department was not aware of the account’s existence when asked its opinion of the account’s growing popularity.

“It’s nothing we associate ourselves with,” said Greg Byrne, UA athletic director. “We obviously don’t support it and would not do anything to endorse it.”

What is your opinion on women in combat?

“I am glad that they opened the opportunity for women but I have a feeling that not as many women are going to go through it, actually joining up those forces and stuff.”

— Rachel Wyman, biochemistry junior

“I think it is a good thing that women are being allowed into combat because they do some many other tasks in the military and they put their lives on the line on a daily basis in other stuff they do. Women have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan so if they want to go to these positions they should be allowed to if they want.

I can understand why there is controversy about it because it does change the group dynamic and men sometimes seem to be a little more focused on other things if there are women around.”

— Ofer Fass, molecular and cellular biology senior

“There is a thing, in the Wall Street Journal, about how they said women shouldn’t be allowed in combat because men might be embarrassed to poop in front of them. This is an actual story. And I just think that is ridiculous, like it is time. Definitely.”

— Katelyn Kennon, journalism sophomore

“I don’t really think gender matters as long as they can do the role. I mean, if men are allowed in combat why shouldn’t women be allowed in combat? It just makes sense to me.”

— Sean White, computer science junior

“I don’t think it is a big deal if women want to empower themselves and be in combat positions as long as they have fair training and fair opportunity then I don’t think it should even be something worth talking about, to be frank. Because I think there are just as many men who shouldn’t be in combat as there are women, maybe even more.”

Before you make jokes online, use compassion kristina bui Arizona Daily Wildcat

T

he Internet is where souls go to die. And if that’s true, the apathy of Internet users is the cause of death.

Case in point: “I have slept with 50+ guys since I was raped, have miscarried, and am now currently dating two people at the same time — each of opposite sex. i don’t want to hurt anybody, but all i can think of is how much i don’t want to be here. i am majoring in psychology just so i can figure myself out. does this make me a coward? afraid of commitment? nobody knows whats wrong with me.”

That was a confession posted by an anonymous user of the U of A Confessions Facebook page. The first reply she got: “Nah, it makes you a ho.”

Other gems include, “50+ guys?! Come on now … your gonna blame that on a rape?” and “it called being a slut simple as that.”

Atrocious grammar aside, it’s hard to believe these responses were written by anyone in college. Isn’t empathy supposed to be something you learn as a child?

A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, conducted in 2010 and released last month, found that 35 percent of straight women have experienced rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner at some point in their lives.

But the percentage of women who experienced one of the three jumps to 43.8 percent of lesbians, and 61.1 percent of bisexual women.

Bisexual women were also the most likely to have been raped by anyone — partner or not. And 89.5 percent of bisexual women said that they had experienced intimate partner violence only at the hands of male partners.

Researchers interviewed 9,086 women, and 96.5 percent of them identified as straight, while 2.2 percent identified as bisexual and 1.3 percent as lesbian. The study did not examine why lesbian and bisexual women appear to experience especially higher rates of violence, and finding that answer is probably beyond the scope of the CDC’s sample sizes.

At least part of the story is that sexuality is not a black-and-white issue, and part of what makes studies like this so significant is the approach we take to everyday things — like checking U of A Confessions.

For the record, although each of the three quoted responses to the original poster was written by a man, each was also “liked” by several people, including women.

This isn’t about asking those three commenters to be kinder or to imagine that his mother, sister or girlfriend had written the original poster’s confession.

It’s about the simple act of imagining your entire life thrown off-course by an act of violence committed against you, whether you’re a man or a woman.

It’s also about accepting that confessions like those are written by real people — people who may walk on campus alongside you, or sit beside you in class and actually exist as more than an Internet joke.

That said, it’s also worth noting that there were several really kind comments on the same U of A Confessions post, written by other women and men who urged the original poster to seek help from resources like Oasis and Counseling and Psych Services through UA Campus Health Service. They also invited the poster to reach out if she simply wanted to speak to a peer.

Rape is obviously a gendered crime — the statistics show an overwhelming majority of men committing violence against women. But violence impacts everyone, regardless of sexuality or relationship. And we should all practice empathy, regardless of gender or sexuality.

The Daily Wildcat editorial policy

For truly open dialogue, Internet needs civility Lynley price Arizona Daily Wildcat

T

he Arizona Daily Wildcat strives to be a voice for UA students and the community. Part of that mission is about providing a free and open forum for discussion by our readers, particularly on our website.

Prior to August 2012, the Wildcat premoderated online comments. But, if we want to keep true to our desire for a forum of open dialogue and discussion, then comments should be posted freely — not sit in a moderation queue for hours until they are published.

However, we have also recognized that not all comments are thoughtful and appropriate. When people make comments like “Damn Puritans, I wish I could burn Taco Bell employees at the stake,” in a column about party security, it contributes nothing to an intelligent online discussion.

Last week, the Daily Wildcat’s Standards and Practices Committee met to create guidelines for online commenting.

A few days earlier, the Daily Wildcat published two stories in particular that received an influx of online comments —

one a commentary on college party culture and the other an opinions column on “sugar babies” who accept money in exchange for companionship.

While many comments created excellent discussion, we also saw several that personally attacked a writer, used unnecessary expletives and veered offtopic.

For example, “Dude Greg, if you wanna be a hater, than do it somewhere appropriate.

When doing this story you need to grow up and realize what college is. Your little crybaby rant is the saddest lamest thing ill have to read in probably all of college and most likely my whole life.” This comment is hardly on topic, and doesn’t do much to contribute to any meaningful discussion. And that was one of the milder ones.

In planning our commenting guidelines, the committee tried to be conscious of restricting users’ speech and thoughts.

Committee members immediately agreed that pre-moderation and editing comments were both out of the question.

However, according to our guidelines,

the Daily Wildcat reserves the right to remove a comment if it attacks a person or group (including Wildcat employees), uses excessive obscenities, makes threats or encourages violence or illegal behavior.

If a comment “discriminates against a group on the basis of gender, religion, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or other identity” it will be removed.

The comment section of the Daily Wildcat is an open forum for readers, and therefore we want to encourage as much discussion as we can. But it also has to be the sort of forum where all users feel comfortable in expressing their opinion without being told they’re “probably still a virgin,” like one commenter on the party story said. To help ensure this, the Wildcat has created a “three-strike rule” for banning users who “consistently violate the guidelines.”

These guidelines have been posted in the “About” section on the Daily Wildcat’s website. Starting today, we will have our digital media editor monitor the comments throughout the day, and readers can flag other users’ comments as inappropriate.

Whether you agree or disagree with the topics at hand, we welcome your comments — but maturity and relevance are key.

Police Beat MAXWELL J MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Grind to a halt

A man was arrested for charges of drug paraphernalia following a traffic stop at 12:08 a.m. on Jan. 30.

A University of Arizona Police Department patrol car saw the car on Speedway Boulevard, checked its registration and stopped the vehicle.

The driver told the officer an unloaded handgun in the truck was the only item he should be aware of. According to the report, the officer said he smelled marijuana as the man handed the officer an expired insurance card.

A grinder was in the center console, but no marijuana was in the car, the man said. He also said he had a California medical marijuana license at home.

The officer then located the unloaded handgun and seized the grinder, which contained remnants of marijuana.

The man was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia before his license plates were removed. He was also cited for the license plates violation, then released.

Up in flames

UAPD officers responded to a car on fire in the southwest lot at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at 11:45 p.m. on Jan. 28.

When UAPD arrived at the scene, a Tucson Fire Department truck and firefighters were already there. The vehicle was engulfed in flames.

The woman who reported the incident said she’d seen a Caucasian man in a gray hoodie and blue jeans running north on Seventh Avenue nearby. She thought this was “strange” and believed he may have been involved.

Police contacted the car’s owner who said he was unaware of his missing automobile and filed a stolen vehicle report to TPD. When asked if he had all the keys, the man replied, he kept one on the driver’s side tire.

“It’s just easier and it’s a habit,” the man continued. “A bad one I know, but I do it all the time.”

No damage was done to UA property and Tucson Wrecker towed the vehicle. No items of “evidentiary” value were found, but photos of the vehicle were placed into UAPD evidence.

Friends in high places

While conducting a security walk-through, two UAPD officers noticed a strong odor of marijuana from a student’s room in Likins Residence Hall at 2:45 a.m. on Jan. 30 .

Police noted an “overpowering” smell of marijuana and Febreze or body spray when the student opened the door in response to the officers’ knock. He allowed them to enter.

According to the police report, the student had red, glassy eyes and was “fidgeting” as police searched his room and found eight beer cans.

The student said spilled bong water had caused the smell.

He denied smoking but admitted to having marijuana in a desk drawer.

He then pulled a bong out of the drawer that contained marijuana residue. The bong was a friend’s, but he was cleaning it and spilled water on the floor, the student said.

The student was cited and released on a misdemeanor charge of possession of narcotic paraphernalia.

Wildcat hoops feeling lucky that trip this year.

Oregon lucked out of playing Arizona, UCLA or ASU anymore this season, but couldn’t avoid the trip to Northern California.

The Ducks came into the weekend firmly atop the conference, but after falling to the Cardinals 76-52 on Wednesday, and the Golden Bears 58-54 on Saturday, they are locked in a tie with the UA at the top of the conference, although they still hold the tiebreaker after beating the Wildcats on Jan. 10.

The absence of point guard Dominic Artis in both games was probably the biggest factor in the losses, but it certainly didn’t help that the Ducks’ two best scorers — E.J. Singler and Damyean Dotson — struggled.

Singler shot 5-of-19 for 13 points, Dotson added 16 total points and they combined for 10 total turnovers.

Once Artis comes back, Oregon will be just fine. But, in the meantime, the troubles with Cal and Stanford give Arizona fair warning not to look past them.

A

rizona has lady luck back on its side.

How else can you explain Solomon Hill converting a 3-point attempt from three-quarters court just before halftime against Washington State on Saturday?

Against the Cougars, the No. 8 Wildcats overcame a Kevin Parrom ejection, a Nick Johnson stomach virus and foul trouble from Mark Lyons, Kaleb Tarczewski and Brandon Ashley to beat WSU 79-65.

Against Washington on Thursday, Arizona committed 17 turnovers against seven assists and shot 3-of-18 from 3-point land, yet still won by four.

It was the Wildcats’ (19-2, 7-2 Pac-12) first road weekend sweep of the Washington schools since 2005, but luck was on the UA’s side elsewhere in the Pac-12.

Oregon lost twice, and Arizona State and UCLA once, so now the Wildcats are in a tie for first place in the conference.

Here’s a look at the recent going-ons for the Pac-12’s top four schools, and what it means for Arizona.

UCLA (16-6, 6-3)

Is there a more polarizing team in the conference, or even the country, than the Bruins?

Two days after ruining Arizona’s “whiteout” last week, the Bruins got mandhandled by ASU in a 78-60 loss. They followed that up with an arguably worse loss on Wednesday, losing to a mediocre USC team 75-71 in overtime. The Bruins’ talent is still undeniable, though.

The strangest part about the two losses is that the Bruins’ best players are still performing like they’re supposed to. But as a team, there are a few areas of concern.

UCLA shot 7-of-43 (or 16.2 percent) from long range in the two losses, and were outrebounded 91-63.

No. 8 Arizona (19-2, 7-2)

It certainly wasn’t pretty, but the Wildcats got their first win at UW since 2007 and followed that up with an easy victory against WSU. There were a few things for Arizona to take away from the weekend.

For one, Tarczewski appears to finally be coming into his zone. For much of the early portion of the season, the 7-footer wasn’t playing like the biggest man on the court, and often succumbed to foul trouble. The fouls are still an issue, but Tarczewski has had a solid go of it the last few games. The numbers don’t jump out at you, but Tarczewski has averaged 10.0 and 6.3 rebounds in the last three games.

Freshmen bigs, especially 7-footers, take a while to develop. The faster Tarczewski develops, the better Arizona will be.

Meanwhile, Hill’s 3-point stroke is better than ever.

In his freshmen year, he attempted 18 long balls, connecting on four of them.

On Saturday against the Cougars, Hill hit

Arizona State (17-5, 6-3)

The Sun Devils are easily the biggest surprise of the first half of the Pac-12 season. After winning 10 games last year, ASU is well on its way to its first NCAA tournament berth since 2009.

A 96-92 tightly contested loss to Washington on Saturday really doesn’t matter in the grand kelsee becker/arizona Daily Wildcat scheme of things, because no one in their right THE WILDCATS ARE NOW tied for first place in conference play because of Oregon’s losses to both Cal and mind thought ASU would have six conference Stanford over the weekend. wins halfway through the Pac-12 season.

Lewis ends NFL career as Super Bowl champion

Hockey’s winless streak against ASU goes on

armando salguero McClatchy Tribune

NEW ORLEANS — Good-bye, Ray Lewis.

Take off the helmet that hid your face but couldn’t hide your emotions.

Take off the jersey that showed the world what team you represented but not what you stood for.

Take off the pads that made you look so ominous but lately could no longer shield you from the injuries of the game.

Do it all for the last time. You’re done.

You done good.

You have made a wise choice to leave the NFL because 37 years old is young enough to start a new career out here in the real world, but it’s simply too old to continue being great in the NFL. You came into this league 17 seasons ago able to outrun running backs and some receivers. Now quarterbacks are outrunning you.

Walk away and be proud of what you did.

Walk away and be thankful you can walk without a limp.

You were a young man in that first Super Bowl win you played in over a decade ago.

That Baltimore Ravens team revolved around the defense — maybe the best defense of all time. And that great defense revolved around you.

Now the team revolves around your quarterback and his receivers. And your defense had to hold on by its fingernails in the second half of Super Bowl XLVII to not blow it for everyone else.

You were a footnote in this Super Bowl.

You finished with seven tackles, and five players had more than that. You were a bit player in this wonderful, exciting, heartstopping game.

This Super Bowl was about one quarterback in the first half and another in the second half.

This game was about a fake field goal, a 108-yard kickoff return, and a two-point attempt. This game was about a freakish blackout and crazy comeback.

This game was about two brothers coaching against each other as if their competitive juices are thicker than blood.

This game was more about Ted Ginn, for

Wildcat hockey came agonizingly close to ending their massive winless streak against ASU, but lost 5-1.

No. 18 Arizona (15-17-1) saw its winless streak against No. 2 Arizona State rise to 30 with two more losses in Tempe, Ariz., Friday and Saturday.

UA lost 4-3 in overtime, then 5-1.

Head coach Sean Hogan said Arizona didn’t play poorly.

“As we rebuild this program, you know, the first year you lose big, the second year you lose close, right?” Hogan said. “And we’re losing close games to really good opponents.”

With 12:33 left in the first on Saturday, Arizona struck first, with a power play goal by junior forward Andrew Murmes. ASU (30-6-0) however, would go on to score five unanswered goals.

Two and a half minutes into the second, Arizona State made it 3-1 and then added a fourth with 2:21 left before the second intermission. With 3:38 left in the game, the Sun Devils added a fifth goal.

“It’s obviously disappointing but we’re going to take it as a learning experience,” Murmes said.

“The guys in there [the locker room] know that we’re a lot better than that. We took a little bit of a step back but we’re moving forward.”

Murmes said the streak will soon end and that the UA will have success at the big dance.

“We’re gonna end it at home and then we’re going to do better at nationals,” Murmes said.

“They might have won 30, 31 games, who even knows, but what matters is who has the ring at the end and that’s going to be us.”

There was good news for Arizona, though. First, it held onto the No. 18 ranking, which it has owned

since Dec. 7. No. 13 Navy won its conference, so a bid stealer couldn’t take a spot in the national tournament despite being ranked outside the top 18. No. 18 will now officially make nationals.

Hogan said he thinks the UA will hang onto the No. 18 slot.

“We should, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t,” Hogan said.

On Friday, Arizona jumped out to a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but blew a three goal lead for the second time in 2013 and lost in overtime. The UA blew a three-goal lead to then-No. 10 Liberty and twice blew two-goal leads to then-No. 4 Minot State.

Late in the third period the Wildcats thought they had taken the lead but it was waved off.

“I watched the video of it, I couldn’t tell if it went in or not, but I had some people say that it did,” Hogan said. “I mean ultimately, the scoreboard’s the scoreboard at the end of the game.”

Murmes said he was not happy his goal was disallowed.

“I thought we got robbed [Friday] night,” Murmes said. “We actually did extremely well.”

The Sun Devils would score in overtime to win. It was ASU’s third overtime win during the four year streak.

Up next for Arizona is a trip to North Dakota to face Williston State and No. 3 Minot State in the last weekend before the national tournament’s field of 20 is picked.

“We’re definitely going to make a splash at nationals, we’re definitely making it there,” Murmes said. “We’re going to make a splash up in Minot, North Dakota, even though it’s freezing.”

Jordan Williams jammed her knee on her dismount off high bar but still managed a 9.8.

The Wildcats posted 48.775, their highest score in beam this season, but Washington swept the top three.

Although Washington took the top spots in beam, Arizona pulled out competitive routines all around. Molly Quirk and Cristello each put up a 9.8. Allison Flores and Shelby Edwards matched each other with 9.750.

For the last rotation of the night, Washington was on floor and Arizona on beam. The floor was another close match up; Arizona scored 48.950 to Washington’s 49.075. Vaccher placed first with 9.9 followed by Cristello posting 9.85.

“When we had our team meeting after this meet, they were upset, not like crying upset, they were angry,” Ryden said.

“They really are competitors and they knew that something just happened that really never should have happened.”

“I felt well throwing today but I know I have a lot more in me,” Freeman said in a press release. “It’s a great confidence boost to have thrown the top three marks of my career and I believe I will only get better as we go further into the season.”

Sophomore thrower Baillie Gibson also fared well in competition, setting a personal best toss of 59-feet-1.50-inches, which was good enough for third place.

In the 200-meter dash, sophomore sprinter Branden Helms clocked a time of 22.32 and placed 11th for the men’s team. With a time of 22.54, sophomore sprinter Mohammad Alhasan placed

17th. Right behind Alhasan was sophomore sprinter Siraaj Ghori, who clocked a time of 22.67, a personal best.

On Saturday, the women’s team swept the shot put competition. Senior thrower Julie Labonté placed first in the shot put with a season-best mark of 56-feet-10.25-inches.

With a mark of 55-feet-4.75inches, junior Alyssa Hasslen finished second, Gibson finished in third place, posting

a mark of 50-feet-11-inches, and senior Omotayo Talabi tossed a 50-feet-2.75-inches, which was good for fourth place.

This past week the men’s track team moved up three places in the latest polls to reach the No. 10 spot. The women’s team, however, fell to the No. 13 spot. The Wildcats will compete next weekend in the Husky Invitational in Seattle.

Daily WildCat We’re Super Classy

Arizona competed against Washington in Seattle this weekend, but fell to the Huskies, who posted a score of 196.025, their season high. Arizona came up short with a score of 195.200.

Arizona started off the night on bars and Washington on vault. Two of the Huskies’ vaulters, Lauren Rogers and Aliza Vaccher placed first and second, respectively.

Amber Wobma from Arizona finished third overall in vault posting 9.750, leading her team.

Two Wildcat gymnasts who usually excel on vault, Kristin Klarenbach and Aubree Cristello, both took significant steps out of their dismounts, putting them in the 9.6 and below score range.

“In my 23 years here it’s usually the other way around, you are hoping the vaulters can get more air to get to their feet, and we’re trying to calm them down,” Arizona head coach Bill Ryden said. “It’s not like they can’t vault, they over-vault.”

On bars, the two teams excelled, but Washington pulled out its strengths to score 49.175. Arizona wasn’t far behind, performing only a 10th off of Washington’s

SUPER BOWL FROM PAGE 6

months ago looms as one of the best you’ve ever made. It’s a moment of brilliance that shines as brightly as the flash bulbs that lit Sunday’s Super Bowl kickoff.

Now share that wisdom. Share it with your friend and teammate. Share your wisdom with Ed Reed.

You have both enjoyed a common bond because you both came out of a storied college football program at a time that program was probably at its height. And although you are older than Reed, people see you and think of him. People see him and think of you.

Reed is also no youngster. He’s 35 now and will be 36 next September when Sunday’s Super Bowl champion will be starting another chase for glory.

Reed has said he wants to be part of that chase, if not with the Ravens, then with someone else. Ask him why.

Remind him how the championship climb is long and hard and rarely successful. Remind him he also walked out of the Superdome a champion.

And remind him that’s sometimes enough.

You’re both champions today, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. Stay on that mountaintop forever.

Don’t come down.

Don’t come back.

Q

How many people are college students really having sex with?

A. Every spring here at the UA, the Campus Health Service administers a Health and Wellness survey to randomly selected undergraduate classes. Questions asked range from basic demographics and GPA to sexual health and alcohol use and everything in between. Here are some results from our 2012 survey (n=2,406) among students who reported being sexually active in the past school year: • 45% had one partner • 12% had two partners • 9% had 3 or more partners

Q

• 4% had 6 or more partners Altogether, 70% of UA students reported being sexually active in the past school year, and most of them (57%) had either one or two partners. The other 30% either hadn’t ever had sex, or hadn’t had sex in the past school year.

When it comes to sex, everyone makes their own decision that is right for them and these statistics support that. Here at the UA (and other colleges nationwide), whether you are sexually active or not, you’re in good company.

Where can people acquire the morning after pill on the weekends or holidays?

A. The morning after pill, also known as Plan B, can be purchased by anyone over the age of 17. On weekends or holidays, it can be purchased at a local pharmacy or drugstore for $40-$50. During the week you can buy Plan B at retail stores, Planned Parenthood, and right here on campus at the Campus Health Pharmacy for $35. We’re open

Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm. Here’s a tip: buy Plan B ahead of time. That way if it’s needed, it can be taken right away.

Don’t be ‘that’ guy A guide to live music etiquette K.C. Libman Arizona Daily Wildcat

Live music can be one of the most noteworthy experiences of someone’s month, year or even their life. A great live act can change everything for a musician, inspiring a person to better his or her craft and creating diehard fans out of the most jaded music critics.

But like most great things in life, a few ignorant individuals can ruin everything with their missteps. If you’re a seasoned music enthusiast, you can immediately recall such actions by drunk patrons. For those who have never seen live music, which is a frighteningly high number of people, then take caution and avoid being the dude that gets kicked out of the show.

With upcoming acts like MURS at Club Congress tonight, Ed Sheeran at the Rialto Theatre next Thursday and the xx at the Rialto next Sunday, remind yourself of proper concert etiquette.

Leave the iPad at home

While pulling out your iPhone to send a 30-second jealousy-inducing clip to all of your friends is fine, there are actually people who bring their tablets to shows with the sole intention of recording video. Remember, folks: Your iPad’s video recording resolution is actually less compared to that of your iPhone 5, and both offer 1080p video recording. The real difference between the two? The guy standing behind you isn’t going to take the iPhone out of your hands and beat you with it.

Keep your drinks off of amps, subwoofers and the stage

This will likely get you reprimanded or, at most places, you will simply have your drink thrown away. Especially at a small venue like Club Congress, where you can literally stand at the band members’ feet as they play, just keep your draft beer in your hand. If you set it down because you really, really need to dance, then just down it. Any inconsiderate douche who spills a plastic cup of PBR on a guitarist’s pedal board should be kicked in the face.

If you’re a tall guy, let the ladies stand in front

This has happened before, and it’s enough of a reason to think that chivalry is dead. Listen, bro, I know you paid good money to see the xx, and you just want to “vibe out” on Romy Madley-Croft and Jamie Smith’s stripped-down British emo-pop, but you’re like 7 feet tall and that girl behind you can’t see a damn thing. At the Rialto, this is less of an issue thanks to the sloped flooring that gives everyone standing a relatively solid view of the stage, but at Club Congress, it’s a different story. Be polite and let the fairer sex through. If you’re a short dude, then get there early — this doesn’t apply to you as much.

Don’t yell “Free Bird” or hold up a lighter. It’s not the ’80s

“Free Bird” isn’t funny. It wasn’t funny then, it’s not funny now and it will never be funny in the future. Unless the singer asks the crowd to hold up lighters in a tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan or Ol’ Dirty Bastard, don’t do that either. If the guy next to you has already yelled “Free Bird” more than three times halfway through the set, then you may use your lighter to set him on fire. Everyone else will thank you.

I am Student Media Name: Melanie Trecha Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA Major: Astronomy What I do at Student Media: Programming Director at KAMP Student Radio

Why I work here:

I became a DJ at KAMP my freshman year because I wanted to meet other people who were passionate about music. KAMP is my favorite thing about the U of A. It is so easy to become involved and feel like a part of the family. I work at KAMP because I love the sense of community, the access to new and exciting music, concerts, and the opportunities it gives me for the future.

Blink-182 is far more than a guilty pleasure Alex whelan

Arizona Daily Wildcat

A

s time has gone by, I’ve realized I may not be alone in my undying love for pop-punk’s true golden child, blink-182.

Sure, there might be naysayers who pull the “Green Day did it first” card, or perhaps they discredit ’90s pop-punk as a whole, but that is another argument entirely.

There will always be those who simply hold blink’s puerile stage personas and perpetually freshman-year lyrics against the band, especially now that co-leaders Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus have reunited as 40-year-olds who still complain about being 23 and “growing up.”

But for the most part, blink-182 is doing all right these days. The band released a new EP, Dogs Eating Dogs, its concert attendance numbers are higher than ever, and no matter how many people complain that blink’s reunited output sullies whatever perfect track record it might have had before, those same people are buying and listening to the music all the same.

Blink isn’t a perfect band for everyone.

Yet, there is something innately relatable about blink-182’s entire approach to musical style and content, specifically with its earlier work.

As a rule of thumb, anything that is fast and sounds like it has terrible production value is of interest. More so than any other pop-punk band, blink-182 sounds weird and alienated on purpose.

Songs like “M+M’s” or “Toast and Bananas” from 1994’s Cheshire Cat are neurotic in their sound, as if Hoppus and DeLonge simply didn’t know another way to communicate. The guitars are sharp and messy, the drums fall in and out of correct time and both singers are yelling with everything they’ve got about how confused they are about girls and growing up.

That doesn’t mean that a song like “Depends,” a loving tribute to adult diapers, somehow takes on a degree of profundity just because the same guys penned a song as perfectly frustrated as Enema of the State opener “Dumpweed.” However, the key to blink has always been its balance of serious and silly tracks, and it’s the presence of both that make its first four records such treats.

The band’s mix of goofball charm and honest rebellion had been tackled before,

dating all the way back to bands like the Replacements and The Descendents who more or less invented the form that blink rode to the forefront of teen angst. But at the time at which blink was doing it, no one could do it quite as easily or as well.

Outside of its lyricism, blink-182 nails another key aspect of the musical experience necessary for widespread success: melody.

There’s a reason that a three-chord song like “All the Small Things” became a massive hit, and it’s as simple as the song having one of the catchiest melodies this side of “Call Me Maybe.”

Even when DeLonge and Hoppus grew up and started writing songs like “I Miss You” and “Always” from 2003’s excellent blink-182, they never quite lost the attention to melody that made them so appealing in the first place.

Plenty of bands have come and gone from the public sphere simply because they’re unable to write more than maybe one or two memorable songs.

Blink-182, on the other hand, has managed to stick around for 20 years and has enough fans to ensure it’ll matter at least a while more. Not bad for a band who never quite grew up.
