Report: UA hoops to self-impose sanctions

By Bryan Roy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT SEATTLE — The Arizona men’s basketball team is expected to lose a future scholarship and reduce recruiting time after a self-imposed sanction for recruiting violations, according to Foxsports.com.

UA head coach Sean Miller was mum on the specifics of the sanctions.

“I’m going to wait until it officially comes out,� Miller said after Thursday night’s loss to the University of Washington. “I’m aware of it and I was aware of it prior to even becoming the coach at Arizona. It doesn’t come as a surprise to me and I’m very confident that our athletic department and university is handling everything the way you’d want it to be handled.�

The violation occurred in 2008 when former

UA head coach Lute Olson signed a letter to boosters seeking financial contributions to the Cactus Classic Amateur Athletic Union tournament held in McKale Center and Bear Down Gym. At the time, Olson denied knowledge of the letter and said it was an electronic signature. “I am very embarrassed that this letter was sent,� Olson said in a follow-up letter released in 2008. “I have already met with our

compliance officer to apologize about this letter. Please accept my deepest apology.�

The NCAA prohibits institutional representatives from providing or arranging financial assistances, both directly and indirectly, which includes the costs of a recruit’s expenses prior to enrollment.

Medical students to drink for Haiti

By Laura Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Students can put their drinking to a good cause by attending a Haiti benefit party at Gentle Ben’s tonight.

The event, which will last from 9:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., will be put on by the UA College of Medicine.

A $5 cover charge will be required and all the proceeds will go directly to the American Red Cross and UNICEF for Haiti. “There’s such a dire situation in

Haiti, and, as medical students, we are seeing how far our medical help can go,� said Alok Patel, second-year medical student and chair of medical student government and coordinator for this event. “We understand that a $5 cover charge can go a long way when a lot of people contribute.�

Gentle Ben’s will have $3 drink specials and a DJ for the event. “It’s deeper than collecting money.

We’ve gotten the word out about Haiti, and now people are paying attention to what’s going on over

there and they’re seeing that just $5 can do wonders,� Patel said.

The party has a Facebook event page called “Help Haiti Shake the Quake,� which has more than 100 confirmed attendees as of press time. “As medical students here, we learn about the different mechanisms of antibiotics and how important is to treat certain diseases, and, with Haiti’s situation right now, we are doing everything we can to draw attention to the tragedy,�said Martin Benjamin, vice chair of medical student government

and second-year medical student.

Currently, many Haiti victims face preventable illnesses, water-based diseases and trauma as a result of the Jan. 12 earthquake, Benjamin said. “That’s why we wanted to raise donations to UNICEF; they put in best relief effort,� Benjamin said.

Gerard Meurer, manager of Gentle Ben’s said, “The event is great. Anything that can help Haiti is a great thing, and it’s great that we can help because what happened was such a tragedy.�

Students seek more counseling in February

By Laura Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Each year right around now, UA Counseling and Psychological Services experiences its busiest point. “Generally, in the third or fourth week, we see a pick up of folks seeking services,� said UA Counseling and Psychological Services Assistant Director Glenn Matchett-Morris. “That number stays high for next two months and slowly drops off towards end of the semester.“ Stress, anxiety and depression are the three biggest issues for which students seek UA Counseling and Psychological Services. “I think that somewhere between the third and fourth week of the semester, people get their first tests back, papers are due, so students

begin to feel the crunch more and see problems with academic success,� Matchett-Morris said. �That creates anxiety and gets them in the door to CAPS.�

Currently, there are five psychologists including the director and assistant director, eight masterslevel therapists, three psychiatrists and one Ph.D. student in training on staff, Matchett-Morris said, though not all staff members are full-time.

Before students can set an appointment with a counselor, they are first sent to triage, a $5 visit to help the triage staff determine what sort of services will suit the student best.

Sometimes one triage session is enough for a student. Other times, the staff will refer the student to other therapists and CAPS, page 5

Winning two national awards for physics in a lifetime is quite a feat, and Marcia Neugebauer has achieved this in one month.

An adjunct research scientist who works with the UA Lunar and Planetary Laboratory researching and analyzing data, Neugebauer earned both the Arctowski Medal and the 2010 George Ellery Hale Prize in January.

The Arctowski Medal, awarded by the National Academy of Sciences every two years, recognizes outstanding work in solar-terrestrial relations.

She received one of 17 medals, a $20,000 cash award and will be speaking at the National Academy of Sciences’ annual meeting in April. An extra $60,000 prize was given to the college of her choosing. She chose the UA. Neugebauer was also awarded the 2010 George Ellery Hale Prize, the highest recognition given every year by the physics division of the American Astronomical Society for remarkable contribution to the field of solar astronomy.

Remaining humble, she laughed about receiving so much acclaim so recently. “It’s pretty amazing to get two at all and let alone in the same year; it’s pretty astonishing,� she said. “I’m flattered and honored.�

Neugebauer found her way to the UA after 45 years in the California Institute of Technology’s Jet Propulsion Lab. She wanted to continue researching and working with her career’s work in solar wind study. “It adds strength to our group ‌ which is an already good group,â€? said Timothy Swindle, a professor at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory.“She came up in an era when women weren’t encouraged to go into the sciences. She didn’t even have a Ph.D. ‌ but she has become one of the best scientists in the country.â€? “Mostly, I was interested because it was an interesting puzzle to see how things work,â€?she said of her start in physics.

Many years ago, she was involved in one of the first groups to prove the theory of solar wind.

Her research explores both the importance of solar wind and its effects on Earth decades later. She still loves her work and is happy to be doing it here at the UA. “It’s very good that the university will offer the possibility for retired people to participate,� she said of her position and the work of the Arizona Senior Academy.

The Arizona Senior Academy, an official affiliate of the university founded by Henry Koffler, is a retirement community for continued learning. Neugebauer has been president of the academy for five years. “I can’t speak highly enough of her.

I just can’t,� said Kathie Van Brunt, an administrator and colleague of Neugebauer at the academy. “She’s brilliant — she’s a superb manager and she’s a superb human being.�

News Tips

Colter Ogden

Theatre freshman Here’s the scenario: You’ve just won the lottery. What’s the first thing you’re going to do?

Pay for the rest of my college. And then pay for the rest of my parents’ house and cars, and my own car, and all the loans that I have right now.

You wouldn’t want to go to a foreign country or do something extravagant?

I would possibly go to New York and buy a flat. Put the rest of it in savings. Sorry, it’s nothing extravagant.

That’s all right. Is there any one thing that you’ve always wanted to do but have never done because of money?

Skydiving.

That doesn’t cost too much money.

I don’t know. I’ve never set aside time to do it. It’s more like I’m afraid to do it, and I think winning the lottery gives you this boost of confidence and you think,“Oh, I can do anything I want.”

OK. I’m going to throw a wrench into the mix.

You won the lottery, but to pay for the ticket, you had to sell both of your arms. What do you do?

Oh gosh. Buy prosthetic arms?

Like robotic arms?

Yeah. Prosthetic arms or robotic arms.

You’d be like Darth Vader.

Hopefully. I think that’d be really awesome.

Would you go to the dark side?

Hmm. Sure, why not? That sounds like it would be a fun afternoon.

OK. So, now you have tons of money, and you’re evil. Now, what are you going to do?

The logical thing would be to take over the world, but I’m going to start with Tucson. It’s more manageable. I’d build big walls.

Big walls over Tucson?

Yes. Maybe a big dome?

Probably.

It would have the possibility of becoming a sustained environment.

Eco-friendly and pollution free.

It doesn’t seem very evil to have a sustained, ecofriendly environment. It seems more evil to go the industrial route. So, I might go that way. Cause more pollution. I mean, being evil for the day. (Laughs) If I weren’t evil, I would totally go eco-friendly, everything green and whatnot.

But, if you’re an armless evil millionaire, you’re going to go with polluting the area?

If I’m on the evil side, yeah.

It’ll be a happy day in Tucson when you lose your arms and win the lottery.

British encyclopedia sorry for Irish history goofs BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc. apologized Wednesday for mangling the history of the Irish Civil War, a longtime screw-up detected only this year when an Internet version of the reference book was supplied to Ireland’s 4,000 schools.

“We do respond very quickly and our editors have been up all night looking at this,” said Ian Grant, managing director of the company that publishes the world’s oldest encyclopaedia. “It’s important to get this thing right.”

A concise version of the Britannica first published seven years ago and used initially

on handheld devices has falsely described Ireland’s 1922-23 civil war as a fight between the Catholic south and Protestant north.

In reality, the civil war took place entirely south of the border, between two groups of Irish Catholic nationalists. The opposing sides were the fledgling army of the newlyformed Irish Free State, which supported the Anglo-Irish treaty that created the state, and rebels who rejected it for failing to deliver full-fledged independence. The Irish Free State evolved over decades into today’s Republic of Ireland.

Students quickly spotted the glaring error after the Irish Department of Education

struck a deal to provide the Britannica’s online version to all schools in the state. The contract costs a reported $625,000 a year for annual access to the encyclopedia and the publisher’s other online references.

“This screwy version of events is a gross insult to our people and our history. That it is being used to educate our children is even more ridiculous,” Irish Sen. Fidelma Healy Eames told the Irish Independent. The Dublin newspaper first reported the story Wednesday.

LOS ANGELES — Brittany Murphy died from pneumonia, but anemia and prescription drugs also played a role, coroner’s officials said Thursday.

The primary cause of death was community-acquired pneumonia, with contributing factors of iron deficiency anemia and“multiple drug intoxication,” according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.

The death was ruled accidental.

Coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey Brittany Murphy declined to specify what types of drugs were involved but said they were all prescription medications. Details about the drugs the “Clueless” and“8 Mile”star had in her system will be released in several weeks when a complete report is done.

Murphy died Dec. 20 at age 32 after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home. Her mother and husband have said the actress didn’t abuse prescription medications or have an eating disorder.

Attempts to reach them for further comment were not immediately successful Thursday.

Murphy’s husband, Simon Monjack, and mother, Sharon Murphy, told investigators the actress had been experiencing flulike symptoms in the days before she died.

Monjack told The Associated Press last month that his wife did take several prescriptions, including an anti-seizure drug, but did not abuse the medications.

He said she had been taking over-the-counter Robitussin for her recent sickness.

A memorial for a foundation in Brittany Murphy’s name that had been planned for Thursday was abruptly canceled with no explanation.

Dr. Michael Baden, the former chief medical examiner in New York City, said the coroner’s determination indicated drugs probably played a key role in Murphy’s death.

“If she died of pneumonia, that cause of death is a natural cause,” Baden said. He said the use of some prescription medications can lead to pneumonia, and that the coroner’s office may have listed that as the primary cause to lessen the blow to Murphy’s family.

“It sounds more like it’s a drug-related than a natural pulmonary pneumonia,” said Baden, who did not work on the Murphy case but has served as an expert witness in numerous high-profile deaths.

He said the quantities and types of drugs Murphy was taking is key to understanding how she died, as well as how recently she saw a doctor.

“One doesn’t die of pneumonia, usually, that quickly,” Baden said. He also downplayed the role anemia may have played in Murphy’s death.

Girl Scouts cookie sales go viral

University checking accuracy of apps. closely

CONTRA COSTA TIMES WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Ur a txt away from gr8 cookies!

That is just one of eight text messages that Northern California Girl Scouts are encouraged to send to drum up cookie sales.

Not to mention the business card templates, door hangers, marketing plans and e-mail invites that girls can download through their council’s Web site as they become “cookie entrepreneurs.”

No longer limited to a card table set up in front of the local market, the yearly push to sell Samoas, Thin Mints and the Girl Scouts’ other signature confections has gone viral. Scouts — and their families — are hitting the Internet, staging rallies and setting up phone banks to run their cookie sales “as a serious business.”

“We don’t even call it a cookie sale, we call it a cookie program,”said Dana Allen, communications manager for Girl Scouts of Northern California.

The council encompasses the San Francisco Bay Area and coastal counties up to the Oregon border. It has 50,000 scouts, 30,680 of whom sold cookies in 2009.

In recent years, the cookie sales have evolved into an educational business endeavor where girls can “learn as they earn” — what Allen called “the biggest financial literacy program for girls in the country.”

Allen recalls selling 700 boxes one year as a child: “I thought it was the most amazing thing ever. I got a stuffed eagle.”

While the average Northern California Girl Scout sells 107 boxes of cookies, some troops and their leaders have set bigger goals.

In Antioch, northeast of San

SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

Girl Scout leader Monique Lazzarini of Troop 30313 helps Natalie Gutierrez run a computer search during their call center meeting on Jan. 29.

The Girl Scouts have adopted modern marketing techniques to sell their iconic cookies.

Francisco, the eight fourth- and fifthgrade girls in Troop 30313 are trying to sell 2,000 boxes — each.

“With the technology era and the different ways to communicate, we decided as a troop to capitalize on those technologies,”said Monique Lazzarini, the troop’s leader.

Her scouts are using Facebook, making “mass phone calls” to doctors’ and dentists’ offices and writing letters to members of Congress asking for their business.

“The sky’s the limit,” Lazzarini said.

Wanda Earl, of Brentwood, northeast of San Francisco, leads four troops, and is an authority on cookie sales. She got involved in scouting 13 years ago with her daughter, and now has a granddaughter in the Scouts.

Earl said the focus on technology really culminated this year. While the girls are not allowed to sell cookies via e-mail or over the Internet, they are allowed to use the Internet to tell people they are selling — a tough distinction for the younger girls to grasp, she conceded.

“Some of the girls are really gogetters and they really are learning how to do business skills,” Earl said.

“It’s fun.”

Psychology professor Stephen Hinshaw does not see the trend as harmless fun, however. The chairman of the University of California, Berkeley’s psychology department and author of the book “The Triple Bind: Saving Our Teenage Girls From Today’s Pressures,” said the Girl Scouts’ high-pressure cookie sales are an example of society’s pressure on girls to excel at everything.

Cheers! Brits toast new shatterproof pint glass THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Soon Britons will be able to get smashed at the pub while their pint glasses won’t.

The shatterproof pint glass was proudly unveiled by the government on Thursday. Officials swore the country would save billions in health care costs by coming up with a glass that doesn’t double as a lethal weapon.

But noticeably, no officials were talking about reforming the British binge drinking culture at the root of the problem.

There are about 87,000 alcoholrelated glass attacks each year, with many resulting in hospital visits, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said as he introduced the two prototype shatterproof pint glasses.

“Glassing causes horrific injuries and has a lasting and devastating impact on victims and their families,” Johnson said. “I hope these designs will help bring an end to such attacks.”

Two types of shatterproof technologies are in the works: one has a thin bio-resin coating on the inside that

strengthens it, and the other bonds two thin layers of glass together in the same way as car windshields. Both are difficult to break and keep the shards together if they do fracture, rendering them useless as weapons.

The government is touting the prototypes as the first significant improvement in bar glassware in decades. The plan is to introduce the new glasses for use on a voluntary basis in pubs if tests show they are durable, cost-effective and safe.

Alcohol Concern, a charity working to lessen alcohol abuse in Britain, praised the new designs.

“We’re very much in favor,” chief executive Don Shanker said. “There has been good local research showing this could reduce the use of glass in violent incidents.”

Half of all violent assaults in Britain are alcohol-related and it has become common for drinkers to smash glasses and use them as weapons, he added.

“You are five times more likely to be involved in a violent incident if you are in or around a licensed bar,” he said.

“There is a clear correlation.”

The government estimates that

“glassing” attacks cost the National Health Service roughly 2.7 billion pounds ($4.3 billion) per year.

In the North London neighborhood of Camden, where heavy drinking bouts are commonplace, bartender Mirjam Linzie said the staff at the Elephants Head pub would welcome safer glasses.

“One time there was a big fight and 50 pints were smashed in one minute,” she said. “One man smashed a glass over another one’s head. One person’s eye was popping out. It was a bloodbath. There was glass raining. People were hiding behind the counter.”

Of course, a shatterproof pint could still be used like a club in fight — but at least it wouldn’t produce lethal shards of glass with the cutting power of a sharp knife.

Bartenders at other establishments said glass-related violence was rare but safer glasses would be welcome because so many break and shatter even in normal use.

Home Office designers worked with the Britain’s Design Council to come up with the prototypes.

Design Council chief David Kester

said the new glasses will be used on a trial basis by a major pub chain that he did not name.

“We are launching the redesign of a British classic, the pint glass,” he said.

“We tried to find ways to make life better while saving money. We’re a creative nation.”

Plastic glasses were not an option because experience shows that drinkers are not happy with them, said Matt Cotterill, the creative director at Design Bridge, part of the design squad.

“Glass feels good in the hand, it feels cold,” he said.“Plastic is warm.”

Roger Protz, author of the Campaign for Real Ale Good Beer Guide, agreed that plastic glasses are an insult to beer drinkers everywhere. But he said he has never seen pint glasses used in a malicious way.

“I must frequent the wrong pubs,” he said.

Besides being shatterproof, the design with two thin layers of glass — called a Twin Wall — could have a hidden benefit for drinkers everywhere.

“The glass could keep the beer colder for longer,” Cotterill said.

“What this group is up to is something called vigilantism, and I don’t like the sound of that.”

In November, the president of the teachers group received anonymous e-mails threatening his life and accusing him of committing sex crimes.

“I have organized the KEK (Kill White in Korea),” one e-mail read in part. “We will start to kill and hit (foreigners) from this Christmas. Don’t make a fuss. … Just get out.”

Yie acknowledges that he has been questioned by investigators but denies any involvement in the threats of violence.

lish teachers in South Korea.

On their Web site and through fliers, members have spread rumors of a foreign English teacher crime wave.

They have alleged that some teachers are knowingly spreading AIDS, speculation that has been reported in the Korean press.

Teacher activists acknowledge that a few foreign English instructors are arrested each year in South Korea — cases mostly involving the use of marijuana — but they insist that the rate of such incidents is far lower than for the Korean population itself.

“Why are they following teachers?

That’s a job for the police,” said Dann Gaymer, a spokesman for the Association for Teachers of English in Korea.

SEOUL, South Korea — Sometimes, in his off-hours,Yie Eun-woong does a bit of investigative work.

He uses the Internet and other means to track personal data and home addresses of foreign English teachers across South Korea.

Then he follows them, often for weeks at a time, staking out their apartments, taking notes on their contacts and habits.

He wants to know whether they’re doing drugs or molesting children.

Yie, a slender 40-year-old who owns a temporary employment agency, says he is only attempting to weed out troublemakers who have no business

teaching students in South Korea or anywhere else.

The volunteer manager of a controversial group known as the Anti-English Spectrum, Yie investigates complaints by South Korean parents, often teaming up with authorities, and turns over information from his efforts for possible prosecution.

Outraged teachers groups call Yie an instigator and a stalker.

Yie waves off the criticism. “It’s not stalking, it’s following,” he said.

“There’s no law against that.”

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Did you donate the profits from your violin recital to support a homeless shelter? Were you part of a deer rescue squad during a major forest fire? Was that you who donated gallons of blood to the Red Cross?

Well, if you said so on your University of California application, you better be ready to prove it.

Like no other higher education system in the nation, the University of California has a quiet team of vigilant auditors that review the accuracy of randomly selected applications — and may yank ones shined up by too much balderdash, big-talk or bull.

“We expect integrity,” said Han Mi Yoon-Wu, admissions coordinator for the 10-campus university system.

Although falsification is not a major problem, she said, “students need to know that they might be selected, and they should make sure that everything on the application is accurate.”

Run out of a modest office park in Concord, Calif., the UC investigation team aims to prevent an arms race of fictional accomplishments among those seeking a seat at the most competitive UC campuses, such as Berkeley and Los Angeles. The vast majority of applicants will escape challenge; only 1 percent of its 134,000 applicants are pulled for review. But those who bump up the baloney in claims on their application forms do so at their own peril.

While all American universities seek official verification of grades and test scores, most others rely on the honor system for more personal assertions.

“The system in California is quite unique,” said David Hawkins of the National Association for College Admission Counseling. “Colleges have always kept an eye out for suspiciouslooking essays that might have been plagiarized, but few bother to actually check.”

In January, UC sent letters to 1,000 applicants for the 2010 freshman class asking them for evidence to support claims made in their “personal statements” and lists of accomplishment.

The application cops do not target suspects; rather they employ a vast, random but high-stakes process designed to keep students honest. Their biggest weapon: the fear factor that they may pick yours.

The office gets daily deliveries of a wide and colorful array of evidence from those who have been challenged.

There are photos, certificates and DVDs, theatre playbills, pay stubs and newspaper articles.

“One young man sent a wood and brass plaque,” proving he did indeed win an athletic award, said sleuth Mary Jacobson, a soft-spoken and meticulous woman who leads the four-member team.

Someone sent in a diploma as proof — written in Chinese. A French translator verified another student’s claim that he graduated from a Toulouse-based language immersion school.

The verification program was created in 2003 after UC’s shift to a so-called “comprehensive review” of students’ applications — in which students are measured not just by academic success but out-of-the-classroom accomplishments.

California’s top students offer stunning accomplishments, and the vast majority are honest, said Yoon-Wu. “But there was concern that some kids would start to pad their applications to make themselves look better,” she said.

“Students feared that there are others not telling the truth.”

For those who are caught, there’s always next year and a possible second chance. But the indiscretion is noted in permanent records, said Yoon-Wu. “We keep a record.”

MAILBAG Feeling the pressure

It is a shame to see the horrific suffering of blacks during apartheid South Africa exploited as a cheap political point against Israel.

Political pressure should be placed on countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran or Syria — where gender, political and religious apartheid runs rampant — instead of on Israel, where Arabs can serve on the Knesset, vote and, most importantly, have the freedom of press and expression.

Disappointed with coverage

I am an avid reader of the Wildcat,

but the coverage of the guns on campus debate on Thursday was sadly disappointing. Taylor Avey’s article quotes only those who were neutral or in favor of concealed carry and made no mention that the Arizona Board of Regents, the Faculty Senate, President Shelton, and the UA Chief of Police have all made public statements against allowing concealed firearms on campus. Furthermore, Avey failed to quote the audience and senate members who voiced strong opinions in opposition of lifting the weaponsfree zone. Even more outrageous was Alex Newman’s coverage of the GPSC meeting in which I proposed that GPSC join ABOR

in rejecting the possibility of guns on campus. Newman’s ambiguous wording actually implies that I did the opposite. Since the matter was discussed at length and my proposal was projected on the overhead for 20 minutes, I find it hard to believe that Newman misunderstood what was transpiring in the meeting. She also failed to mention that GPSC passed the measure rejecting the possibility of guns on campus by a very wide margin. Get your act together, Wildcat. People count on you to report the news in a clear and transparent manner.

Comments from dailywildcat.com On ‘Students protest gun resolution,’ Feb. 4

If you can legally carry a firearm, the campus is no different than anywhere else. Criminals choose these“gun free” zones because they know that it is a safe working environment for them.

There are an estimated 5 million of us concealed carry permit holders in the US. We are everywhere and no one notices. The only people who have reason to fear us, are the criminals.

The iPad is the most useless piece of technology out there. It can’t even multi-task, so don’t even think about trying to type on the virtual keyboard while looking at the slides in a different window. You can’t even view flash (and most likely never will) in case you do want to view a website.

The D2L site looks terrible on iTouches and iPhones; you can’t see the links to grades, discussions, content, etc.

Whoever is thinking about buying one is obviously an Apple fanboy.

If told only to abstain, students won’t go about having sex in a healthy or safe manner. Unplanned pregnancies will skyrocket, STDs will spread like the swine flu and nervous young women will have back-alley abortions.

Anyone who has unprotected sex as a result of not having enough information at his or her fingertips probably isn’t mature enough to have sex anyway.

It’s common knowledge that sex can result in pregnancy — especially unprotected sex. Most ten year olds know this, and they’re typically not able or old enough to engage in intercourse. If a child understands the consequences of sex, a high school student should, too.

If a student would like to have sex but feels he is not properly educated on the subject, he can do his own personal research on Google or even step into Planned Parenthood.

In the end, abstinence education isn’t at fault for every poor choice students make. If the program can influence youth to delay sexual activity, it can’t be the worst lesson plan students will ever encounter.

Vibrating fitness machine begins UA pilot program

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Jake Lacey/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Former Arizona men’s basketball head coach Lute Olson calls a play during the Arizona vs. Oregon game on Feb. 9, 2006. The UA may lose a scholarship because a letter signed by Olson was sent to boosters seeking money for an AAU tournament held on campus in 2008.

SANCTIONS

Olson retracted original letter

continued from page 1

Wildcat on Sept. 15, 2008, former UA Athletic Director Jim Livengood filed the NCAA Level II self-infraction earlier that summer, citing a letter Olson allegedly signed seeking private donations for the Cactus Classic.

Olson released a follow-up retraction to the boosters, claiming the original letter was sent from the basketball operations office without

him ever seeing or approving it, as “it was a clear-cut violation of NCAA rules.”

Cactus Classic Director Jim Storey was advised not to contact the donors or accept donations from this letter, which originally stated: “Jim needs support from private donations. The athletics department can’t assist in any way. This is why your help is crucial.”

The UA is kicking off a pilot study on the effects of whole body vibration. Medvibe is teaming up with the UA to conduct a research study about the effects Medvibe’s NitroFit Whole BodyVibration Machine can have on muscle strength.

UA graduate and Tucson native Jonathan Hyams, who founded Medvibe, hopes the machine will eventually help people of all ages.

“If this has effects on the younger populations, it could really help the older populations,”Hyams said.

The study is looking to see how whole body vibration affects bone density to see how it could benefit those with osteoporosis and arthritis.

“You couldn’t take your grandmother to the gym, per se, but you could get her to use this,”Hyams said.

“A person just has to be able to stand,” added Dr. Rita Tomás, who is on a Fulbright research scholarship at the UA from Portugal and a co-principal investigator for the study.

Eight UA students will function as the trainers for the study: Two physiology graduate students and six undergraduate students.

“It’s been great to work with such motivated students,”Tomás said.

The study will last 12 weeks and is focusing on the lower extremities and three spots are still available.

“We are getting a lot of data from this study,” said Molly Burns, a UA physiology senior who is a co-principal investigator for the study. “In theory, you can exercise for less time with the same results,” Burns said.

When asked how it felt to workout with whole body vibration, Tomás said,“It can be strange to start with, but then people get into it.”

The study is being conducted in the lower level of the Ina E. Gittings building.

Want to participate? Contact Rita Tomás at wholebodyvibrationarizona@gmail.com. You can’t have major health conditions or be involved in weight training.

Medvibe is doing studies on whole body vibration in association with other universities, but, according to Hyams, “the U of A is doing the most innovative study of all of them.”The UA’s study is the most innovative because it has access to a GE Lunar iDXA bone densitometer.

The GE Lunar iDXA shows the exact percentage of body fat in each part of the body. This will allow the study to find out exactly where changes occur in the body.

“The more we know, the more we can tailor to the individual,”Hyams said.

Students often make use of this process during the middle of the semester, but such high levels of demand drop off by the end of the semester, Matchett-Morris said.

“We certainly see a spike during finals,” he added, “but not as much as in the third or fourth week of the semester.”

Generally, students visit UA Counseling and Psychological Services in January, but the pickup isn’t until mid-February.

“Spring semester can be different for freshmen, who experience a big adjustment in the fall when they make new friends. In the spring, they’re not in a new place anymore,” Matchett-Morris said.

UA Counseling and Psychological Services sees a variety of students. At the beginning of fall 2009, attendance was evenly distributed among freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, law students and graduate students, Matchett-Morris said.

“It’s surprising how many upperclassmen and graduate students we see.”

HPV: holler pharmaceutical vulgarities On Tuesday at 10:55 a.m., in reference to an unwanted man on the property, a UAPD officer responded to the Comstock House medical facility at 1541 N. Warren Ave. A UofA employee told the officer that a patient was causing a disturbance in the building by demanding medication and yelling at staff members.

The man said he was unemployed and suffered from Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). He also stated that he was under the care of Comstock staff but had been refused medical care for the past four months.

The officer reported that, during his conversation with the man, he was told,“I am a human, I am not a dog, and, therefore, I should be given medication.”

After the man was told to make contact with his medical agency in Phoenix about payment for his medication, he demanded to be given a ride to the UAPD station and requested the case number and the name and badge number of the officer. The man was then told to leave the area and was advised he would be arrested if he returned to Comstock.

When the man left the property, the officer continued to talk with the woman about the incident.

The employee told the officer that he was ineligible for the medication he was requesting because he was unemployed and had no proof of income, both of which are required by the agency paying for the medication.

The employee also stated that the man had been yelling at her for his medicine, told her boss to “shut up” and was causing an “embarrassing and frightening scene.”

The officer flagged the man for trespassing, and the woman left work early because of the incident.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the UA Bookstore at 1209 E. University Blvd in reference to a shoplifter in custody on Tuesday at 1:50 p.m.

The man was a student identified by a California driver’s license and was being held by a loss prevention officer.

The UAPD officer read the man his rights and questioned him about the incident. The man stated he had been stupid and took a pair of UA socks and, after he stuffed them into his pocket, left the building without paying.

The man claimed he had the money to pay for the socks and did not intend on stealing anything when he first entered the bookstore.

Video surveillance of the incident and a receipt showing the price of the stolen socks were placed into property as evidence.

The man was cited and released for shoplifting.

In reference to threats she had been receiving, a UAPD officer met with a UA student-employee on Tuesday at 5:49 p.m. at the UAPD main station.

The student said the first incident with the woman, which she claimed was harassment, occurred on Jan. 17 at 11 p.m. at Highland Market, while the student was working as a temporary cashier.

She said the woman brought her a bag of chips whichshe found on the 99-cent rack, and, when the chips were rung up at $2.79, the woman started to create a scene and back up the line.

The woman began yelling at the cashier,“You’re a fucking bitch … you can’t make me get out of line, scan it, scan it, scan it.”

The manager then spoke with the woman, and the woman ended up buying the chips for $2.79 and left the store.

On Jan. 23, the student was working for Parking and Transportation Services as a lot attendant for the men’s basketball game, and she again saw the woman who had caused the scene at Highland Market.

The woman drove by the student in a maroon pick-up truck and told her“I’m going to get you”and then drove off.

Once again, on Sunday, the student saw the woman while working for PTS as a lot attendant in a different parking lot.

The woman parked her car, straddling the lane divider on Fourth Street and began to yell at the student,“You’re a fucking bitch … you’re fucking rude, you have to tell me what basketball it is, go ahead and call, you can’t do anything.”

She said she thought the incidents were isolated occurrences but now believes they may continue because she thinks the woman knows when and where she works.

The officer advised the student to call UAPD if she ever sees the woman again.

On Tuesday at 1:33 a.m., in response to an unwanted man in the building, a University of Arizona Police Department officer was called to the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center.

The officer made contact with a man sleeping at one of the desk computers with a 44-ounce Circle K styrofoam cup.

The officer could smell alcohol on the man’s breath and from the cup. The man admitted to drinking beer from the cup in the library.

After a UA employee at the library said she asked the man to leave several times and advised him that students were not to be in the library after 1 a.m., he refused and continued to sleep.

The officer escorted the man off library property and cited him for second degree trespassing. The man was also advised not to be on UA property unless he was given specific permission.

WASHINGTON 81, ARIZONA 75

Men’s basketball team snaps 4-game win streak on road

Fouled out

UA still can’t win Thursday games

By Bryan Roy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT SEATTLE — All it took was five minutes for foul trouble to bench Arizona’s three big men. And the rest almost fell like dominoes.

Almost. The Wildcats’ short-staffed late second-half push wasn’t enough to overcome the Huskies in a 81-75 loss last night in Seattle.

Arizona’s record fell to 12-10 overall and 6-4 in the Pacific 10 Conference.

“We came out not ready, not really ready that they were going to attack us like that,” said UA guard Momo Jones. “Washington is a good team, they came out and played their game.”

Had last night’s negative variables they endured happened earlier in the season, the Wildcats “could’ve lost by 1,000 (points),” UA coach Sean Miller said.

Consider the situation: • Derrick Williams, averaging 15.9 points per game heading into last night, only played eight total minutes due to early foul troubles in the game against Washington.

• Arizona committed 20 turnovers and 30 fouls.

• UA point guard Nic Wise only scored 12 points and committed five turnovers.

Somehow, Arizona still managed to cut its deficit to two points with 9.1 seconds remaining.

With less than one minute remaining, UA guard Kyle Fogg took control and strong-handedly drove to the basket on three consecutive drives to reach the free throw line.

But Washington made its ensuing free throws down the stretch after hitting just 41 percent from the charity stripe in the first half.

Washington made 21 of 25 free throws in the second half.

Arizona’s own free throw-producing machine — Williams — finished without an attempt.

The Wildcats play Washington State on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. MST with a very well-rested Williams.

“It changes it a lot. He’s really efficient on offense, gets to the foul line and gives us that presence close to the basket,” Miller said. “The good news is he should be pretty fresh for our next game.”

Pressed for bodies — not to mention contributors — down low, Arizona relied on seldom-used big man Alex Jacobson after the regular in Williams fouled out.

Center Kyryl Natyazhko and forward Jamelle Horne played with four fouls almost the entire second half,and were later joined by Solomon Hill with four.

COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy Sports writer

John McLellan/The UW Daily

Washington Huskies forwards Tyreese Breshers and Justin Holiday fight with UA forward Jamelle Horne in Arizona’s 81-75 loss in Seattle on Thursday night. The loss snapped the Wildcats’ four-game winning streak.

Kevin Parrom fouled out with 17 second remaining, part of the 30 fouls called on the Wildcats.

“It kind of threw off the game,” Hill said of the early foul trouble. “We lost guys that we needed at key times. I don’t think we grasped the game plan from the get go.

“When you get in a couple foul trouble and know coach is going to take you out, you don’t want to really play hard because the way things are going, you take it a little easy,” Hill added. “And that throws

off the game.”

Washington stormed out of halftime by opening on a 16-4 run and forcing a frustrated Miller to burn two timeouts in attempt to calm a raucous 9,917-person crowd.

“That second half, we knew we had to buckle down and do it as a team,” said Washington guard Quincy Pondexter, who finished with a game-high 30 points and 12 rebounds. “That’s what wins championships: Team defense and team offense when we’re sharing

the ball.”

What UA fans grew to cringe in the previous two seasons haunted the Wildcats for the first time this season: Foul trouble.

“It’s frustrating, but at the same time it happens,” Jones said. “Everybody’s human, everyone’s going to get in foul trouble. At the same time we can’t bank on that, whether (Williams is) on the court or not. We just have to go and play and that’s what we did tonight.”

HOOPS, page 8

SEATTLE — The common Pacific 10 Conference meme never changes: Protect your home court and split on the road.

The Wildcats have handled the latter and more difficult goal throughout the first half of conference play by splitting both road trips to Los Angeles and Oregon.

Thursday’s 81-71 loss against Washington puts the pressure on Arizona.

“We’re just going to play the way we’ve been playing,” said guard Momo Jones. “That’s the story.

Because we lost (Thursday), we can’t deviate what we do.”

If there’s one optimistic statistic to take away, it’s Arizona’s 0-3 record on Thursday Pac-10 road games, including Thursday’s loss to the Huskies. The two Thursday losses prior, the Wildcats rebounded to steal the Saturday road game.

What’s the reason?

“We’re just working hard,” Jones said, without an answer. “We’re not going to stop. We have a ways to go for improvement.”

Arizona’s loss, combined with California’s loss to USC last night, leaves them part of a four-way tie for first place in the Pac-10. ASU and UCLA are also 6-4 in conference play.

With the conference race becoming less and less defined, even discussing the top of the Pac-10 doesn’t make sense anymore.

“We’ve really tried not to talk a lot about it or think about it,” UA coach Sean Miller said. “We’re so much in a mode to try to get better ourselves. I really feel like our best way of having the best season we can have is to focus on daily improvement and being ready to play.”

Added Washington coach Lorenzo Romar on the conference standings: “It changes all the time.”

The first Wildcats break step losing streak toward .500

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

If the Arizona Icecats hope to finish the season at a respectable 15-15, they will need to win five of their six remaining games, starting with a two-game sweep when they take on Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, this weekend.

The Icecats (10-14) haven’t finished with a losing record since the 2003-04 season and are on their way to becoming only the second team in program history to finish below .500.

“We’ve only had one losing season in 30 years, but that’s not something I dwell on,” said head coach Leo Golembiewski. “I want to see our team get as healthy as it can as we finish out the last six games of the season.”

It has been an up-and-down year, full of freshman growing pains and non-stop injuries, but the Icecats can give the season a good feeling by rattling off five or six wins — starting with Weber State.

The Icecats will again be without ICECATS, page 10

The Arizona women’s basketball team overcame both its threegame losing streak and rebounding troubles in Thursday night’s 73-66 win against the Washington State Cougars in McKale Center.

With a loud hometown crowd in attendance for their return to Tucson, the Wildcats (10-10, 4-6 Pacific 10 Conference) were able to shut down a fierce Washington State (5-16, 0-10) team and sweep Wazzu on the season for the first time in head coach Niya Butts ’ tenure with Arizona.

“To come back this season and bounce back with two victories feels really good,” Butts said. “All the credit goes to the team and the staff.”

The game was close early on, 1815 with 9:32 left to play in the first half, until Arizona went on a quick 14-5 run, taking advantage of both Washington State’s poor defense and its own transition offense.

But the Cougars managed to make a run before the half, leaving the score 35-32 going into the locker room.

Butts blamed the halftime result on the Wildcats’ casual play. Arizona got beat on some hustle plays down the court and it seemed as if they were only playing for halftime.

“We have a tendency to fold when we get tired,” Butts said. “We start

making mental mistakes.”

The Wildcats managed to regroup at halftime. Washington State got off to an early lead, but the Cougars’ offense was soon stifled by an Arizona defense that looked primed to take it to the final seconds.

Throughout the start of the second half the lead shifted frequently until Arizona was able to squeeze out an 11-0 run, making the score 61-50 with 6:00 left on the game clock.

With the help of guard April Cook and center Carly Noyes, WSU kept the game competitive and managed to come as close as 72-66 with 19 seconds left to play, but Arizona held on for the victory.

After a horrific rebounding performance at Stanford last weekend, the Wildcats were able to bounce back Thursday night by winning the rebound battle 48-38, their first since Jan. 9 at Washington.

“We had everybody rebounding, crashing offensive boards and defensive boards,” said Arizona forward Ify Ibekwe.“It was really good to see that we can do it.”

The Cougars won the defensive battle in the first half, however, managing to neutralize Ibekwe.

Q&A

Winning pitcher relives 1980 championship

were your emotions like when that final out was recorded?

Well, it’s just, you know, chaos. It Editor’s note: The 1980 Arizona baseball was incredible to go through the whole NCAA Championship team will be honored process. We had gone the year before and during Saturday’s UA Red/Blue intrasquad lost, so we had already had a taste of what scrimmage. The Arizona Daily Wildcat it was like to play in a world series and just caught up with the 1980 championship to win it was just really, really cool.

Arizona women’s tennis head coach Vicky Maes cheers on her team during the Wildcats’ 7-0 victory against New Mexico State on Thursday at the Robson Tennis Center.

W-tennis serves an ace against Aggies

’Cats show no letdown in preparation for first ranked opponent of season

By Nathan Comerford ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Danger strikes when teams overlook their opponents.

But the Arizona women’s tennis team (4-0) defeated New Mexico State (1-3) with a team score of 7-0 Thursday by taking it one game at a time. The Wildcats’ focus was entirely on the court for Thursday’s match despite a contest looming against Intercollegiate Tennis Association No. 45 San Diego on Saturday.

“I really wanted a team win,” said head coach Vicky Maes. “I wanted

everyone on the board today. Today was a good lesson and good confidence going into Saturday.”

The Wildcats only lost one of the day’s matches, as senior Ariane Masschelein and junior Jane Huh fell 8-7 on doubles court No. 3. But because the Wildcats won their other two doubles matches they still earned the one possible doubles point.

“I really thought they should have had more of a killer instinct on the third court,” Maes said. “They almost just went on cruise control after TENNIS, page 12

at the pro level, or have you put any thought into coming back to Arizona?

No, I haven’t thought about that. But I really enjoy coaching. It was something that was really instilled upon our whole group because we had such great coaches with Jerry Kindall, and one thing that was really cool was that there were like 15 players from our team that went on to play pro ball, and there’s a good number of them that are still coaching. There’s like 10 guys that are still coaching today. I think that comes from the leadership we got from Jerry Kindall, you know, to instill upon us to not only play, but, when we’re done playing, to continue to coach and help others.

Is it weird to have Brady (Lefferts) playing hockey at Arizona and not baseball?

It’s awesome that he decided to go to U of A, and I’m real proud of him. He’s done really well there so hopefully they can finish strong and get back to .500 this year and maybe in the next two years get back to the tournament.

Baseball Red/Blue game set for Saturday

On Saturday at Jerry Kindall Field, the Arizona baseball team will get its first chance to showcase its new and improved roster in the annual Red/Blue intrasquad game.

Wildcat fans will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of head coach Andy Lopez’s calibrated club and to watch the action with some stars from Wildcat past.

With several former players expected to be on hand, the scrimmage coincides with the Arizona baseball 2010 alumni weekend.

Among them are Daniel Schlereth, Chip Hale, Shelley Duncan and others.

The program will celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the 1980 NCAA Championship.

The 1960 and 1985 teams will also be honored.

With a roster filled by 23 newcomers, many of whom are freshmen, the Red/Blue game serves as a chance for new Wildcats to get their first taste of the home crowd at Kindall Field — and their first experience in a major college baseball atmosphere.

The alumni will be signing autographs at 10:30 a.m., with the first pitch scheduled for 11 a.m.

Hoops: Arizona at Washington State With a population smaller than the number of students enrolled at the UA, literally all of Pullman, Wash., should be expected to be at this game tomorrow night. The Pacific 10 Conference first-place Wildcats can expect a hostile Cougar crowd on hand, and having already beaten Arizona once this season in McKale Center, Wazzou, led by scoring machine Klay Thompson, has some confidence. If Arizona can avoid falling behind early, I see them leaving Pullman with the W. Arizona 74, Washington State 68

Just a week ago, talking about the NCAA tournament in Tucson was something that you didn’t do. Suddenly after a solid weekend for the UA, which saw them rise to first place in the Pac-10, the tourney talk is back. Forgotten are the beat-downs courtesy of San Diego State University and Brigham Young University. The Wildcats hope to avoid a letdown this weekend and Pullman is a tough place to do that. With the Pac-10 down this season the Wildcats need to get as many quality wins as possible, and that quest starts this weekend.

Have a baby by Mychal Thompson, baby be a millionaire.

Washington State’s Klay Thompson, Mychal’s son, is an explosive scorer for the Cougars and an NBA-level talent who the Wildcats will have to subdue. Now with a more coordinated defense, Arizona will have a shot to beat the Cougars, who barely slipped out of McKale Center with a win early in the season. But as the young Wildcats have yet to play a two-game stretch in such a short period of time and so far away from Tucson, the Cougars will again defeat Arizona.

Super Bowl XLIV New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts This game is full of great storylines. Peyton Manning versus his father Archie’s former team, New Orleans, playing in its first Super Bowl. And Reggie Bush will supposedly propose to his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, if the Saints win. The game itself should be a great one, with lots of scoring. Drew Brees has the benefit of facing off against a hampered Dwight Freeney, and he has just enough to bring the Lombardi trophy to New Orleans. Saints win, and Reggie will be on one knee after the game.

New Orleans 27, Indianapolis 24

The Colts come into this game as the favorites, but everyone outside of Indiana is rooting for the Saints. I’m one of those people. As a longtime Patriots fan I would love to see Peyton Manning lose in the Super Bowl, but I’m realistic. Manning is a machine — you can’t stop him, you can only hope to contain him. Too many times over the years I’ve watched him carve up dominant defenses, which the Saints don’t even have. The Saints’ offense will keep them in the game but it won’t be enough to overcome the machine.

Hey, did you know that Arizona quarterback Nick Foles broke some passing records at Westlake High School in Texas? Did you know that the previous record-holder was New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees? If I were the Saints, I’d buy-out Brees — totally overrated — and sign up ‘ol Foles if the Saints want a shot at knocking off the always-special Colts. OK, a little sarcasm there, but never go against a Manning. Just ask the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears, both of whom got the Manning treatment in recent Super Bowls.

Wildcats unable to mount comeback in second half

Miller credited the Huskies for putting the Wildcats in the less-than-ideal situation.

“It’s hard on our team to win when that’s the case. None the less, Washington does that very well and they took advantage,” Miller said.

Foul trouble even extended through the first half.

Both Williams and Natyazhko picked up three fouls before the six-minute mark, forcing Jacobson to eat quality minutes.

Jacobson made a brief appearance against Oregon but hadn’t played true minutes until the BYU game on Dec. 28, 2009.

Washington used Jacobson’s defender, often times Darnell Gant, more as a help defender to trap down low for the remainder of the half.

“They told me to be ready, so I was ready,” Jacobson said.

Jacobson ended the game with two points and five rebounds in 15 minutes.

Neither Williams or Natyazhko reentered the game in the first half, but Arizona responded with its outside game, sparked by guard Brendon Lavender’s three 3-pointers to give the Wildcats a six-point lead to end the half.

The Wildcats didn’t take their first lead until 1:46 in the first half, shooting 38 percent from the floor. The Huskies shot a mere 29 percent but had 12 points off 26 rebounds.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Lacrosse team rebuilds, eyes upcoming season

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Freshman forward Adam Treptow receives a pass during the Icecats’ 7-4 win against Weber State in the Tucson Convention Center on Dec. 5, 2009.

The UA club hockey team will take on Weber State this weekend in Ogden, Utah.

ICECATS continued from page 7

Trying to avoid historic losing season

junior co-captain Jordan Schupan (neck laceration), sophomore forward Blake Richards (ankle) and senior forward/ defenseman Micah Kneeshaw (ribs).

In addition to the injuries, for the second consecutive week the team will enter a weekend series without any practice time under their belt due to the Gem and Mineral Show at their normal practice space, the Tucson Convention Center.

But the Icecats have dealt with these issues for the majority of the season, and if there’s a perfect way to gain some momentum heading into the final four games, it’s by playing Weber State. The Icecats swept them in early December, outscoring Weber State 19-5 in two games, including a 12-1

thrashing in game one.

Weber State was severely undermanned when they came to Tucson — only 11 players dressed — but this is a team the Icecats should take care of even on the road.

But whether or not the Icecats sweep doesn’t depend solely on their opponents. Rather, their success depends on which UA club hockey team shows up.

Whether it’s been because of youth, injuries or lack of practice time, this season has been the model of inconsistency.

“It’s been a wide range of reasons — nothing you can pinpoint,” said associate coach Dave Dougall of the team’s up-and-down season. “It’s frustrating because you’re not sure which button you should push, because

we’re not seeing the same thing occur every game.”

The Icecats certainly have the talent, but factors outside of the team’s control have often resulted in a rollercoaster ride. They once again have their backs against the wall, but Weber State is a team that they have proven they can beat. Regardless of injuries and no practice time, if the team wants to avoid a losing season, a sweep in Utah is a must.

“I personally have never finished on a team with a losing record and I don’t plan on doing it my first year,” said freshman forward and leading goalscorer Brian Slugocki. “Nobody wants to have a losing season, because it reflects us as a team.”

For those suffering from Laxcat fever, your medicine is back in stock.

But don’t expect a cure.

The Arizona men’s lacrosse team opens the regular season on Saturday when they host NAU at the Laxcat Coliseum at 1:00 p.m. Saturday also marks the first regular season game since 2001 for head coach MickeyMiles Felton. Before the start of fall practices, Felton returned to the UA head coaching position.

“I’m glad to be back,” Felton said.

“This is where I belong.”

Though Felton has not been the head coach since 2001, he has continued to be involved with the program for several years until his retirement from the UA in 2008 — after 32 years of coaching and involvement with the program. Since Felton’s departure, the team has gone through three different head coaches.

Two years ago, the first year Felton was not involved with the men’s lacrosse team, the Laxcats finished the regular season 5-10. Last year, they finished 4-6. During those two seasons, PJ Rovinelli coached the team, and things got so bad that some players quit, Felton said.

“The program really went downhill the two years I wasn’t involved at all,” Felton said. “How fast we can turn it around, only time will tell.”

“There are guys on this team that are tired of losing,” Felton added. “I think that’s going to make a big difference.”

When Felton returned to the team, he had to put together a new staff.

Lewis Lipscomb, who coached at Denison University, was brought in to run the defense, and this past January, Drew Maceranka from Quinnipiac University was given the reins of the offense.

“They’re making my job a lot easier,” Felton said. “They’re out there taking control. They know what they’re doing.”

Tune up week for track

Divide and conquer.

The Arizona track and field team will split into two travel groups this

weekend to add to its NCAA National Championship qualifier totals.

Wildcat sprinters are headed to the Devaney Center Indoor Track in Lincoln, Neb., while the jumpers and other multi-event athletes will be headed back to the Albuquerque Convention Center in New Mexico for the third time this season.

“This is going to be a good quality meet for us,” said head coach Fred Harvey. “This week is going to be like a training block that we’re going through until Iowa (State Classic meet on Feb. 12).”

In Nebraska, the sprinters will be focused on their individual performances rather than the team’s overall performance.

“We’re still working on some race strategies and things that kept us from making provisional last week,” said sprinting coach Francesca Green.“But we should be ready for (University of) Iowa next week.”

The preparations include some changes for the team. The women’s 4x400-meter won’t be running together in order to prepare for next week. Also, team results will be taking a back seat this weekend and individual results are in the forefront of the Wildcats’ minds.

Gymcats fight against cancer

The Arizona gymnastics team will have double duty this week, as they face off against UCLA and bring awareness for breast cancer in their annual “Flip for the Fight” competition.

Tonight at 7 in McKale Center the No. 18 Gymcats (2-2) will compete against the No. 6 Bruins. In its second home meet of the year, Arizona is hoping to extend its winning streak to three.

“Hopefully, we can correct some issues,” said head coach Bill Ryden.

“I think competing in front of that home crowd was just the next step for learning for that young team.

We have done a lot of learning for the first third of the season. Now we are in the second third, and now it’s time to bear down and secure postseason.”

ROY continued from page 7

Rodney Haas/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Freshman Natasha Marks delivers a backhand in her doubles match with teammate Alexandrina Naydenova. The duo defeated New Mexico State 8-5 on Thursday afternoon.

TENNIS continued from page 8

Women continue home win streak

being up 6-2 and didn’t close it out. We can’t have those letdowns on Saturday and against better teams.”

For singles, there was no such letdown. While there were some struggles, UA did not drop one match.

Starting out on court No. 1, Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s No. 46-ranked singles player, UA’s sophomore Natasha Marks, quickly cruised to a 6-0, 6-1 win against New Mexico State’s Isabela Kulaif. On court No. 2, sophomore Sarah Landsman took down Marks’ sister, Sophia Marks, 1-6, 6-3, 6-0. Sophia Marks, a senior,

is ranked by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association as the No. 110 singles player in the country.

“She grinded her heels in the ground and carried it out,” Maes said, after the match. “After the second set, her confidence was up and she was carrying herself differently. She has the ability to beat a lot of the top players.”

On the No. 3 court, Masschelein made up for the doubles loss by handily beating Aleksa Costa 6-0, 6-0.

Freshman Alexandrina Naydenova contributed by posting a 6-2, 6-3 victory against Manon Sylvain on the

No. 4 court. Senior Claire Rietsch won a super-tiebreaker on court No. 5 to earn the win, 6-1, 5-7, 10-5. Lastly, sophomore Debora Castany finished on court No. 6 with a 6-1, 7-5 victory against Natalia Salum.

With their confidence building after four consecutive wins, the women will end their five-game home stand against San Diego University, the highest ranked team they have played this season.

The match will take place at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

Fouls down ’Cats

sophomore Brendon Lavender hit three 3-pointers to close out the first-half and led the Wildcats with nine points.

One point shy of his season high, Lavender credited his success to getting himself set and into position as the difference-maker.

He finished the night with 16 points.

“My confidence is not the issue at all, it’s just knowing my role and trying to execute everything I can do to help us win,” Lavender said.“Whenever I’m open, I feel like I can make any shot. I felt like that was a crucial point in the game where we need those shots.”

Awkward placements

Foul shooting woes

You’re not alone, Tucson

Free throws were the differencemakers, in both a good and bad way in a tale of two halves.

Both teams struggled in the first half — Washington shot just 47 percent and trailed by six when the buzzer rang.

It all changed in the second half, where the Huskies made 21-for-25 free throws, especially down the stretch.

“If you miss one or miss two, that’s a big difference,” Miller said.

W-HOOPS continued from page 7

No doubt the Washington students (“The Dawg Pound”) have the best seats in the house — lining the entire sideline — but what about some of their hardworking peers?

Their cheerleaders are secluded in concourse entrances in each corner of the arena. The band? Standing as a line on the mid-level that separates the student section with the upper deck.

Still, the arena’s vintage gothic field house glass look, mixed with a high definition JumboTron makes it one of the cooler arenas in the Pac-10.

With 11:15 remaining, a Washington fan threw a water bottle in the direction of Miller. Officials called a controversial traveling call on the Huskies, leading into a media timeout. Police escorted two fans from the upper deck.

And 1

Arizona’s two-game red jersey winning streak was snapped Thursday.

Whyte racks up 20 points in win

that they were able to contain Ibekwe at first with a double-team, but that left Soana Lucet open, allowing her to score 18 points and haul in five rebounds.

Freshman standout Davellyn Whyte scored 20 points, the ninth time she has scored 20 or more points in a game this season. She also created a number of chances for her offense to move the ball around, helping the Wildcats to score 72 points.

The Thursday night victory may very well serve as a confidencebooster heading into Saturday’s contest against Washington. Already conquering one Washington school hasgiven Butts and her squad the confidence to come away with another home victory. Butts said that her team would need to come in ready to win like they did last night.

“Hopefully we can stay on the rebound,” Butts said. “If we can continue to score in the paint we’ll be OK.”
