Dean to propose new vet program again KELSI THORUD Arizona Daily Wildcat

The UA College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has high hopes for a future veterinary program. The Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Shane Burgess, has taken a program proposal for a new veterinary program to the governor and Legislature for authorization. His initial $3 million budget was approved by the Arizona Board of Regents last year but failed to be included in Gov. Jan Brewer’s 2013-2014 budget request. However, Burgess said he has

not given up yet as he plans to keep working to get aid from the state this year by presenting modified plans and budgets to the Legislature. “If everything goes perfectly and we get the funding that we need and we start [planning] July 1, we would be accepting students to their first year of the program in August of 2015,” Burgess said. No public college in the state of Arizona currently offers a veterinary program. While there is no national shortage of companion animal vets, there is a need for large-animal vets and vets in the public heath, disease research and food safety industries,

which would be the main focuses of the UA’s new school. This is not the first time the UA has tried to create a veterinary college. In 2009, the then Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Eugene Sander, proposed a plan for a separate School of Animal, Veterinary, and Microbiological Sciences but was denied. One of the reasons the school has not been approved is due to the economy of the state, according to Charles Sterling, professor and head of the Veterinary Science and

Senate to forward proposal to regents for final decision

A students are getting a kick out of a soccer-playing canine. Sit, stay and roll over are major accomplishments for dogs in the eyes of most pet owners, but Ryder, a 3-year-old American bulldog / boxer mix, made these tricks look mundane when he mastered the art of soccer. With a slobbery 10inch tire gripped tightly between his teeth, this energetic pup can dribble, score and steal a soccer ball from experienced players. Ryder even earned second place for “best trick” at the annual Pitbullooza last October, an event that celebrates and promotes responsible dog ownership, sponsored by the organization Pit n’ Proud. Now, he brushes up on his skills on the UA Mall and serves as the mascot for the Tucson Mountain SFC league, a youth soccer program. Ryder had been playing “catch the tire” for more than a year when, during a typical game of catch, four guys showed up kicking a soccer ball around and Ryder seemed mesmerized, said Dave “Dogbreath” Dennis, Ryder’s owner and a small business owner. “The whole soccer thing was an accident,” Dennis said, “When the ball came near him, he went over and bumped the ball with the tire in his mouth.” Dennis, never having been a soccer player himself, helped his dog to acquire the basic skills of soccer. “He likes to learn more every

day. I could teach him more if I had more stuff to teach him,” Dennis said. “He is really smart. He just wants to play and learn.” Sean Gundu, a pre-computer science freshman and a soccer player, witnessed Ryder’s skills during a 30-minute impromptu game on the

Mall. “It was beautiful. He got me really tired. If he was a human being, he would be a good defensive player because he was really good,” Gundu said. “I tried a couple tricks and couldn’t go past him sometimes.”

Faculty Senate members unanimously voted to support offering in-state tuition for undocumented students at their monthly meeting Monday. The senate voted in favor of offering in-state tuition for undocumented students and will forward materials related to its decision to the Arizona Board of Regents. If the proposal is approved by the Board of Regents, tuition will be more affordable for students approved through President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which shields certain individuals brought to the U.S. as children from deportation for two years. The DACA program went into effect in August under an executive order by Obama, a temporary solution to debate over the DREAM Act, which would provide public benefits and deferred action to undocumented youths. Many of DACA’s provisions are similar to the DREAM Act. Maricopa Community Colleges and Pima Community College have already approved offering in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants. The senate also discussed House Bill 2169 with Katy Murray, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. The bill, proposed by Rep. John Kavanagh, would prohibit Arizona universities from collecting and distributing student fees to an organization not recognized by the university. Murray told the senate the bill would “be harmful” to certain unrecognized organizations on campus that currently receive student funding. As of now, the bill has passed through the Appropriations Committee and will go on for debate in the House of Representatives. Murray said she plans on speaking on the bill at the floor level. “We [ASUA] are going to try

Program helps prepare for digital world ALISON DORF Arizona Daily Wildcat

Beginning this fall, UA students will get the chance to better hone their career skills for a digital world. As digital technology continues to rapidly evolve, human interaction and communication is also changing, including in the job market. In the fall of 2013, the School of Information Resources and Library Science will be offering a new program, called eSociety, to help students prepare for careers in the endlessly changing digital world. The program will be available to students as a Bachelor of Arts degree or an undergraduate minor. The interdisciplinary program will bring together courses from a wide range of colleges across the UA. Skills could include knowing how to analyze and recognize digital data, helping employers with social media sites and knowing how to give a digital presentation and communicate online, according to Catherine Brooks, an assistant professor for both SIRLS and the department of communication and a lead curriculum developer for eSociety. Employers will want to have new employees who have digital, data, and analytical skills that apply to the digital data environment, she added. For those students completing the program for a bachelor’s degree, they will be required to have a minor in another area of study, so they can specialize in a specific field. “Students have a lot of choices, so they’ll be able to choose, within our curriculum, the things that make them happy and are of

Microbiology department. A program of this stature can cost millions of dollars and without strong support from the legislature and state funding, the school has not been able to jump start the program. “Now at this point and time the funding hasn’t been identified,” Sterling said. “Is it something that, you know, we’re going to give up on or anything like that? Absolutely not.” Burgess’s plan is to cater the new veterinary program to well-qualified students that arise from the first-year

you do,” Brownridge said. “Pretty much all jobs require you to use a computer of some sort. It would be helpful, definitely,” she added. Program members have already begun to communicate with potential employers like Apple Inc. and Avnet Inc., according to J.P. Jones III, dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and professor for the School of Geography and Development. “They’re very excited about the kind of training and understanding that students are going to have,” he said. Jones also mentioned that students will change jobs and careers many times. Because of this, he said, it is important that students have a foundation that will carry them into a future in which they are constantly able to adapt and learn as things change. “It’d [eSociety] be one of the more practical things you could do, really, in college,” said Eric Myre, a freshman studying French. “Real-world courses would actually be a nice change of pace.” The program itself is not driven by technology, but rather by the social practices that are engaging with technology and changing it, according to Pamela Coonan, research support and enrollment manager for the College of SBS. “I think that the [interdisciplinary aspect] of it is also something that is very applicable for any position they go into and any kind of field they want to do it,” Coonan said. “This degree will give them a good, very broad foundation … and very good stepping stone to employment.”

above other colleges in the nation and give it a leg up on the competition when recruiting students. “It’s not just about a vet school for our state, its about genuinely revolutionizing training for veterinarians in the country,” Burgess said. “Our plan is to decrease the time it takes to get a veterinary degree by half and to make the cost half, or in some cases close to a third of the cost, that an Arizonan would be paying.” Many aspiring Arizona veterinary students have to leave the state for schooling because of the lack of instate programs and most who leave never return after they finish, Burgess said.

“I think it would attract a lot more students to come here because I know people that were interested in going to vet school that decided not to go to U of A because U of A doesn’t have a vet school,” said Kaitlin Dickson, an animal science freshman. “I think it can bring more attention to the university.” Sterling said he will continue to pursue his goal of creating a veterinary school and feels that they are moving in the right direction. “We’re still creating this new school, so no matter what, our undergrad students will benefit from the new opportunities afforded by program development in the new school.”

Students harvest water to benefit UA campus

and stop the bill at the house floor,” Murray said. “This has been a big piece of legislation that we are trying to look out for.” As part of the meeting’s informational items, David Allen, Tech Launch Arizona’s executive director, described efforts being made to expand the program’s reach. Some of that progress has already been under way, through the revitalization of the Office of Technology Transfer, which included appointing Doug Hockstad as director of the office in February. Some of the goals Allen presented are to have Tech Parks hold a greater interaction with the university and to update the current intellectual property policy. Allen said his previous experience with similar programs at Penn State and Ohio State serves as a guide for his plans at the UA. “This is something I feel very comfortable with and really look forward to doing,” Allen said. “We have to bring it [policy] up to a contemporary standard.”

MARK ARMAO Arizona Daily Wildcat

Students at the UA are getting their hands dirty in an effort to conserve the most precious resource in the desert: water. Working in a hands-on environment, students are learning the principles of rainwater harvesting in a course led by Hazel Cox, an adjunct professor with the Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science. For a class project, Cox’s water harvesting class is evaluating several sites on campus to install a water system. Two promising sites are located just south of campus. One is a parking structure that is slated for construction near the Student Recreation Center on East Seventh Street, and the other is near the UA greenhouses on the corner of East Eighth Street and North Fremont Avenue. Rainwater harvesting is usually used for irrigation, but can also be used for other purposes such as erosion control or even drinking water. “It turns water issues into water sources,” Cox said. Last year, students used water harvesting techniques around Old Main to combat flooding. During heavy rains, water would come off the roof and pool around the foundation of the building. The water would then seep into the basement and flood it. The group solved the problem by grading the landscape away from the building and diverting the water to shallow basins around already present trees. “It caused the water, instead of pooling around the building, to move away and water the trees,” Cox said. This kind of multi-purpose solution to a complex problem is a common theme of water harvesting, but the science behind it is simple, according to Cox. There are two types of rainwater

Following Allen’s presentation, Sen. George Gehrels, a geosciences professor, brought up the NCAA’s recent move on a “massive deregulation” in its involvement in athletics. Last fall, the NCAA approached the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics to compose recommendations regarding the organization’s regulations on academic integrity. COIA consists of some members of faculty senates from a range of universities with larger football programs. Gehrels discussed the possibility of trying to broaden the faculty senate’s role on these issues and said many of these regulations will dive into university athletic budgets. “The level playing field is very problematic for many schools,” Gehrels said. “There’s 25 schools that have positive budget athletic departments where they bring in more than they take from academics. Those schools want to spend a lot more on their athletic programs. The other 120-some schools are negative budget. The academic money flows into athletics and they don’t want to be required to spend up to meet the NCAA requirements.”

angnam Style, the Harlem Shake and Snapchat: these are among the many fads we’ve fallen in and out of love with this past year. Now, a dating app known as Tinder is ripping through the UA campus like wildfire. Tinder was designed by Hatch Labs and was first tested on college campuses. The app sets up a profile for users complete with name, age, five photos and a short written description. The concept and design is brilliantly simple but can veer toward mean. Users simply swipe through profiles of potential matches within their area. If you find someone you like, you tap the green heart and

ASUA President

EDItorial

ASUA candidate endorsements

Morgan Abraham

ach spring, the Arizona Daily Wildcat weighs the vision every ASUA candidate brings to the table by reviewing their platforms and individually interviewing candidates. Student government plays an essential role on campus, and the Daily Wildcat strives to hold the Associated Students of the University of Arizona accountable. In forming these endorsements, the Daily Wildcat editorial board hoped to select candidates who can bring a fresh perspective to a tired institution.

iven the tensions created by the legal battle being waged between the Arizona Board of Regents and the Arizona Students’ Association, a statewide student lobbying group, the election for the next president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona has become more interesting than normal. By interesting, we mean difficult. The Daily Wildcat editorial board struggled to decide between creative writing junior Dylan Duniho and engineering management junior Morgan Abraham. Duniho isn’t your typical ASUA candidate, or your average student, for that matter. He was a 22-year-old freshman, “coming just as others were going,” he said. But now, at 25, he says he hopes to use his nontraditional background to his advantage. Duniho described his initial entry into ASUA — his desire to get involved, the discouragement he felt upon hearing that UA student government is a clique, where you have to be “friends of friends of friends” to get in. It nearly kept him from joining. We’re glad it didn’t. Duniho openly acknowledges that ASUA’s biggest problem has always been its club-like atmosphere, where open debate is sometimes hindered by the sense that everyone there is your best friend. Furthermore, he recognizes that ASUA can sometimes let students who aren’t as actively involved — often nontraditional students like him — fall by the wayside. We’re confident he has the drive and the perspective to push student government to do better than that. On the other hand, his opponent has also said that what ASUA needs most is more arguing among student leaders. Running on the campaign slogan, “Be heard,” Abraham’s platforms are organized, specific and achievable. Abraham, who joined the ASUA Senate last fall in a special election to fill a vacated seat, has said he hopes to reach out to constituents more through a weekly YouTube video and a “We the people” style petition page. Duniho and Abraham are both qualified for the position, and the Wildcat editorial board is confident in either candidate. But what swayed this endorsement was Abraham’s specificity. Accomplishing all of his ideas is likely overly ambitious, but what kind of leader isn’t? It was a close call, but the Daily Wildcat endorses Morgan Abraham for ASUA president.

Administrative vice president Amanda Lester

manda Lester is running unopposed, but that isn’t the reason we’re endorsing her. As the chief of staff to current ASUA administrative vice president, Paige Sager, Lester is already familiar with the office of AVP and she knows what she wants to accomplish. One of the more interesting goals Lester wants to achieve is to expand the Freshman Class Council’s shadowing program, so that it will act as a stepping stone for students seriously trying to get involved with ASUA and make it a more meaningful club on campus. But more importantly, Lester has the right attitude. As the only candidate, it’s not like she’s running a hard race. It would be easy for her to sit back, prop up her feet and wait for votes to roll in. However, Lester was careful to emphasize that she’s not interested in running like she’s just a default option. She’s running because she wants to lead. It shows.

Executive vice president

Jordan Allison

he executive vice president race is a strange one, as there is no name appearing on the formal ballot, and all of the candidates are write-ins. There’s also a clear lack of experience in most of the candidates, which was made apparent when their platforms were ripped apart in Sunday’s question & answer session, hosted by ASUA. However, a lot of what has to be done can be learned in the months prior to the executive vice president-elect taking office, and the Daily Wildcat editorial board was impressed by two candidates in particular. In the end, it came down to Jordan Allison. Although Mariam Nikola’s energy and thoughtfulness caught our attention (and set her up for a bright, future run at ASUA), Allison’s proven commitment to social justice and her extensive previous involvement in a number of clubs served by ASUA give her the perspective the EVP needs to understand the needs of clubs on campus.

Endorsements for ASUA Senate Grant Suman

Grant Suman impressed us with his talk of promoting campus sustainability. Students at universities across the country have started initiating more sustainable movements and it only makes sense that the UA follow suit. Suman also has a platform to make students more aware of the services that the CatTran has to offer. Suman is prepared, and as a senate aide this semester, he knows to set reasonable goals that are possible to achieve.

The Daily Wildcat editorial policy

Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinion of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

Elena Gold

Elena Gold has a long and ambitious list of things she hopes to accomplish, such as the expansion of the UA’s mobile app and the CatCash system, the creation of a shuttle system to off-campus stores like Target and the construction of a student involvement matching tool to help students find clubs that suit their interests. But what’s notable is that Gold acknowledged that she would hit administrative and logistical roadblocks along the way, and she is prepared to meet those obstacles head-on.

Chris Seffren

Chris Seffren took a unique approach to his platform in suggesting priority registration for ROTC students. He is interested in the academic side of campus life, as he also plans to implement an incentive program for students who do well in school. While both of these things will be difficult to achieve in office because they rely almost exclusively on the full support of administrators, they could really benefit the student body. His other goal is to strengthen the relationship between the UA and Tucson, which could help students and the community.

Alex Barbee

Alex Barbee’s platform about handicap accessibility and working with the Disability Resource Center is something different from every other candidate on the ballot. Inspired by the six months that she spent in a wheelchair after a car accident, she’s passionate about making the campus more handicap accessible. Barbee’s idea is a refreshing take on an old buzzword. Instead of increasing accessibility to ASUA, she wants to see more accessibility to campus for a group of students who are under represented.

Christopher Chavez

It would be easy to write off someone who ran up the $1,000 spending limit on his bursar’s account so quickly that he had to take out a loan. But if you did, you’d miss out on Christopher Chavez. He’s already working with the Bursar’s Office to expand the time period during which students are allowed to charge items, to prevent situations like his. He also hopes to improve student retention by increasing student involvement. Chavez is thoughtful, enthusiastic and genuinely interested in bettering the student experience — exactly what an ASUA senator should be.

a junior studying criminal law, Tinder, like Twitter or Facebook, is just another app for FROM PAGE 4 entertainment. “For me, it’s to kill time when I’m bored. It’s hope for a match. If you don’t like someone, smash or pass basically,” he said. “Also, when for any reason, you tap the red “X.” A bold, red a really attractive girl that’s out of my league “Nope” is then stamped across their photo while messages me, telling me I’m cute and what not, the poor sucker spirals out of sight. When two users are matched, they are given the opportunity that’s pretty good, too.” The beauty of Tinder is that it’s completely to message one another in order to exchange online, where most people feel comfortable information and potentially set up a meeting time. expressing themselves to strangers in ways that Though the app is available for people of all they normally wouldn’t in real life encounters. ages, what sets Tinder apart from other dating While that may be an upside to the app, it’s methods is its young audience.

College Scorecard still needs some work NATHANIEL DRAKE Arizona Daily Wildcat

n his most recent State of the Union address, President Barack Obama unveiled his plan to make it easier for prospective college students and families to predict how expensive a particular university will be. The College Scorecard, which is part of the U.S. Department of Education’s College Affordability and Transparency Center, is set up using two different search options. If you’ve got prospective schools already in mind, you can use the search box. If you’re still curious, there is a three by five grid that will categorize schools by location, interests and college type. If you search for the UA, you’ll find that the net cost, the amount of money owed after grants and scholarships have been calculated, for an in-state undergraduate is $12,185 per year. However, this number is from the 2010-2011 school

year. The “low, medium, and high” scale is based on how the school “compares with average net prices among institutions that primarily grant the same level of award.” You will also find that the six-year graduation rate of full-time students is considered “high” at 61.4 percent, the federal student loan default rate is 6 percent, which is below the national average of 13.4 percent, and median borrowing at the UA is considered “medium” at $178.50. You can also find that the average net price has increased by 15.3 percent at the UA , but there’s a catch. That data is only from 20072009, which doesn’t exactly set a trend. The numbers are interesting but the site is far from finished. There’s a final category that is supposed to provide information about the kinds of jobs students are getting after graduation, but it

reality and online. Gabrielle Gilbertson, an economics junior, explained how Tinder creates a dangerously thin veil between reality and online fantasy that can sometimes result in unwanted circumstances. “It’s cool to message people, but in reality, you probably wouldn’t go up to them in the union after having messaged them on Tinder because it’s weird. Plus the fact that you see these people on campus makes things so much worse,” she said. For many students like Gilbertson, awkward circumstances are an unwanted aspect that comes with a Tinder profile due to its feature of matching users with others in their area. In an atmosphere like the UA, Tinder, in theory, is a great place for young people to boost their egos, but campus is a small world where unwanted run-ins are bound to arise, turning it from an app that’s designed to help students meet

each other into one that causes people to literally avoid one another. Coincidentally, in a world where terms such as “being catfished” and “being Manti Teo’ed” actually exist and have meaning, it’s surprising to see so many young people voluntarily placing themselves in situations to potentially be duped online. While it may be fun to get lost in a flirtatious conversation with an attractive stranger you may never see again, there is always the chance for an unwanted run-in here on campus. College students enjoy Tinder because it’s fun to sit around and rate their classmates. However, like all fads, it’s sure to eventually burn out and students can go back to interacting with each other the normal way. —Michelle Cook is a journalism senior.

has yet to be calculated as there is a message telling the user to check directly with the school for the exact numbers. I also tried to compare the UA to Arizona State University, but to do this, I had to keep clicking back and forth between tabs. This was manageable for comparing just two schools but there should be a better way to compare schools side by side. The College Scorecard isn’t a complete loss and I do expect it to someday be a useful tool for prospective and transfer college students. But like so many other things in life, the government should be careful to not waste its time reinventing the wheel. There are dozens of college search tools that already offer the information currently on the College Scorecard. As it stands right now, it doesn’t deserve much higher than a “C.”

A UA employee was taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center after suffering a seizure at 5:19 p.m. on Feb. 28. University of Arizona Police Department officers went to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center to check on the woman, following a call from another employee at the center about a possible seizure. The reporting party had been speaking with the employee when she “started to shake and fell to the ground.” When the woman began to have a seizure, the employee called the police. According to the police report, the woman was “slow” to respond and couldn’t remember her birthday. Tucson Fire Department then evaluated the woman but she was unable to remember what had happened in the past hour. TFD then took the woman to the University of Arizona medical Center for head trauma and her having split her bottom lip when falling.

A UA student was arrested and released on charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia at the ArizonaSonora Residence Hall at 8:20 p.m. on Feb. 28. UAPD went to the residence hall in response to a report of a smell of marijuana emitting from a room on the sixth floor. An officer then knocked on the door and asked if he could enter. The resident said it wouldn’t be a problem. The officer then told the students present in the room about the suspicious smell, and asked, “Who had it?” A woman admitted to possessing the marijuana and retrieved a clear pipe shaped like an elephant, a snap-top container with a glass pipe and a plastic baggie containing .70 grams of marijuana. Police then searched the woman’s room but no additional evidence was found. The woman presented police with a California medical marijuana card, although it doesn’t allow her to possess marijuana on the UA campus. Police then took the marijuana and glass pipe for further testing.

A UA student was arrested for shoplifting headphones from the UofA Bookstore on Feb. 21 at 2:04 p.m. Police responded to the store after a loss prevention employee had the suspect in custody. The employee informed police he saw the student take the Skull Candy headphones, worth $18.74, from a display and place them in his pocket. The employee then went outside to wait for the man. The man sat to read a book inside, then left and was detained by the employee. The student told police he made a mistake and stole the headphones because he didn’t have any money. The student was then cited for shoplifting and released from the scene.

Texas Tech test: Wildcats ready for talented team

Freshman QB work in progress for Wildcats zack rosenblatt Arizona Daily Wildcat

tyler baker/arizona Daily Wildcat

SENIOR PITCHER NICK CUNNINGHAM pitched 1.0 innings and gave up two hits, two runs and one walk in Sunday’s 9-2 loss to San Francisco. Cunningham could to start against Texas Tech on Wednesday.

luke della Arizona Daily Wildcat

No. 10 Arizona (10-3) welcomes a challenge this week as Texas Tech (7-5) heads into Tucson Tuesday night for the first game of a two-game mid-week series. The two-game series should be a good nonconference test for the Wildcats who are coming off a lackluster 9-2 loss to San Francisco this past Sunday. Texas Tech’s pitching staff, which ranks fourth in the Big 12 conference, will be the challenge for Arizona, who will need to set an early tempo in two games. Through 13 games this season, it has become evident that the success of the Wildcat’s offense feeds into the pitching staff. In many of Arizona’s 10 victories the offense gave the starting pitchers a solid lead to work with. “When the offense comes out hot like that, it definitely makes me more comfortable and relaxed out there,” freshman Cody Moffett said after making his debut start Feb. 27. This week, the Wildcats offense most likely

will not have to face the Red Raiders’ ace starting pitcher Trey Masek. The junior has made three starts this year and has yet to give up an earned run in 24.0 innings pitched. Texas Tech will likely throw Matt Withrow (21) and Jonny Drozd (1-0) today and Wednesday, as they are the Red Raiders’ typical mid-week starters. Both struggled in their latest start against Florida International last week. Arizona’s mid-week starting rotation has been tinkered by head coach Andy Lopez and pitching coach Shaun Cole. But even after having a rough outing last week against Utah Valley, the coaches have decided to give sophomore Tyler Crawford (1-1) another opportunity in game one of the Texas Tech series. Wednesday’s starter is expected to be Moffett or senior Nick Cunningham. Moffett shined in relief this past Sunday when he came in for damage control and Lopez hinted after the loss that Moffett might have played his way into the Sunday starting role. Moffett’s competition, Cunningham, has also been battling all season for the job and could

win it if he is given the opportunity to pitch Wednesday. The series with Texas Tech will be Arizona’s first and only non-conference games against a major “BCS” conference opponent before they start Pac-12 play in a couple weeks. Even though the Red Raiders’ only have a team batting average of .244 and rank eighth out of nine teams in their respective conference, the short series will give the Wildcats a good idea of where they are. Unlike many teams, Texas Tech will not bow down to Arizona’s recent national championship title and will force the Wildcat’s to play tough through all nine innings. Lopez has been looking for a test like this and, win or lose, he said he wants to see his players seasoned before the conference play starts. “When Pac-12 season starts, we’re going to see a lot better pitchers and hitters [than we have so far],” shortstop Kevin Newman said. “We got to learn where our weaknesses are now and improve on them so when [conference] play starts, we’ll hopefully be flawless.”

As quarterback Javelle Allen headed off the field at Frank Sancet Stadium after practice on Monday, quarterbacks coach Rod Smith squirted his water bottle at Allen from a few feet away. “I suck, man,” he yelled to Smith. “I’m sorry!” Allen had a bad practice and Smith let him know it. Allen is competing for the starting role vacated by All-Pac-12 quarterback Matt Scott, but he knows it won’t come easy. Especially with B.J. Denker and transfer Jesse Scroggins in contention as well, not to mention incoming freshman Anu Solomon. “He’s still a work in progress,” Smith said. “He’s still a freshman. He’s got a lot of work to do … I’m not writing him off by any means but not saying that he’s the guy either and I think he’ll tell you that.” Allen, a redshirt freshman, doesn’t take the criticism personally. Because, if not for Smith, he might not even be at the UA. As a three-star recruit from Prosper, Texas, Allen didn’t get any big-time scholarship offers. He passed for 2,321 yards and 30 touchdowns, and rushed for 1,497 yards and 22 scores in his senior year at Prosper High School, but for most of the season he only received interest from teams like New Mexico State and Arkansas State. Then, in an early October game against Lovejoy High School in 2011, Allen tallied 565 total yards with seven touchdowns, and teams started to take notice. “The next week I came in, it was a lot different for me,” Allen said. “I was getting awards, setting records. So that got their attention.” Once Indiana came calling, his ears perked up. He wanted to go there. And he would have, had the

GUARDING CHANGE Arizona gears up Swimming

Wildcats have point guard of the future waiting in the wings

zack rosenblatt Arizona Daily Wildcat

arry Drew II is Mark Lyons’ antithesis. But T.J. McConnell might be his equivalent. Drew, UCLA’s starting point guard, is pass-happy, has good court-vision and picks and chooses when he has to shoot. In the Bruins’ 74-69 win against Arizona on Saturday, Drew did everything right. And if not for three turnovers in a two minute span late in the second half, he might’ve played a perfect game. Drew had 14 points, nine assists and a steal, shot 50 percent from the field (6-of-12) and hit two 3-pointers. “If they win the conference,” UA head coach Sean Miller said, “my vote for the conference player of the year is for Larry Drew, and I don’t really think it’s close. The impact that he has on the game to make his teammates better, the fact that he shoots 50 percent from three. I know this — in the two games we played UCLA, he was the difference.”

tyler besh/arizona Daily Wildcat

UCLA POINT GUARD Larry Drew II scored 14 points and dished out nine assists against the UA Saturday.

On the season, Drew is the Pac12 leader in assists (7.8 per game) and assist-to-turnover ratio (3.4) and is getting 7.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, while shooting 44.4 percent from the field and 42.3 percent from three. He’s also fourth in the nation in assists per game, and second in assist-to-turnover ratio. “He played great,” Arizona sophomore guard Nick Johnson said of Drew. “He’s a heady point guard. He’s averaging seven assists a game, so I mean that speaks louder than anything.” Said freshman guard Grant Jerrett: “He’s a good player. He’s a point guard. He makes his teammates better and he’s known for making plays for his teammates. That’s what he did tonight.” It’s been said more than enough that Lyons is not a true point guard; he’s a scorer and a combo-guard. Miller has said as much. Would Arizona be better with Drew at the point? Sure. But, without Lyons, the Wildcats would be running with Jordin Mayes as their starting point guard. The Wildcats just might have their own Larry Drew sitting on the bench though. McConnell, a transfer from Duquesne University, won’t be eligible to play for the UA until next year due to transfer rules. But, McConnell looks like the closest thing to a pass-first point guard Arizona has had since Mustafa Shakur donned the navy blue and cardinal red. “He’s done really well,” Miller said last week. “It’s a real advantage for T.J. to practice every day. He’s gonna hit the ground running in such a significant way because he’s done everything that our team’s done. He’s played against Mark daily, Nick [Johnson], Jordin [Mayes]. There’s great competition in practice.” In two years at Duquesne, the Pittsburgh native tallied 11.1 points, 4.9 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game and shot

SENIOR POINT GUARD Mark Lyons looks to score in Saturday’s loss to UCLA. Lyons averages 15.1 points per game this season.

at a 50.4 percent clip, 41.6 percent from three in 63 games. Last year, McConnell was third in the Atlantic 10 with 5.5 assists per game and tied for second in assist to turnover ratio at 2.1. The Atlantic 10 might not be a Power conference but its quality of play in recent years as been at or near the level of the Pac-12, so those numbers aren’t something to cast aside. It’s also why the comparison of McConnell to Drew is appropriate, and the similarities don’t stop there. Drew was also a transfer, albeit from North Carolina, and is only listed one inch taller than McConnell (6-foot-2) at the same weight (180 pounds). Like Drew, McConnell doesn’t shoot often, but when he does, he tends to convert. He didn’t shoot enough in his sophomore year to qualify, but a 50.3 shooting percentage would have been in the top 70 in the nation, which is exceptional for a point guard. By comparison, Lyons is shooting 42.4 percent from the field, which is actually a solid total

Arizona’s No. 10-ranked men’s swim team will compete this week at Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way, Wash., for the Pac-12 Championships. Senior Carl Mickelson, juniors Giles Smith, Matt Barber and Mitchell Friedemann, and sophomore Kevin Cordes look to lead the team toward the top of the rankings to capture a Pac-12 title. The men’s relay teams will also be competing this week after a successful dual-meet season and will look to claim some medals. “I’m excited to see what we can do,” head coach Eric Hansen said. “This meet for us is just quality speed work leading into NCAA’s and we are capitalizing on the opportunity.” Friedemann currently owns the second fastest time in the country in the 100y-backstroke event and was a productive asset for the Wildcats during the dual-meet season. “Personally, I’m expecting some fast swimming,” Friedemann said. “About half of the team is fully rested this meet and the other half are going to swim through it and compete at full rest for NCAA’s. I, myself, would like to make sure I focus on the small details this week.

I would also like to reach some of my personal goals and swim some top times unshaved.” Going into the Pac-12 Championships, Smith holds the fastest 100y-butterfly time in the nation and is also has the fourth fastest time in the 100y-freestyle event. “I’m definitely looking forward to just getting up and racing against the best guys in the country,” Smith said. “I’m expecting the team to just get up and compete. As for myself, I’m on a little bit of a different phase. I’m not going to be tapered for Pac-12’s, but I’d still like to see myself in the top three in the 100 fly. I’m also excited for the relays.” Cordes broke two American records and enters the championships owning the nation’s top times in the 100 and 200y-breaststroke events. Mickelson has the second fastest time in the country in the 100y-breaststroke, just behind Cordes. Barber and junior Kevin Steel also look to contribute in the championships, both possessing top 10 times nationally in their events. “I think we will qualify a few more swimmers within the next few days,” Hansen said. “I’m looking forward to hard racing through the end of this meet and being our best for NCAA’s.”

FOOTBALL NOTES FROM PAGE 8

Hoosiers not decided to pursue junior college quarterback Cameron Coffman instead. “I was supposed to go to Indiana,” Allen said, “but Indiana had dropped my scholarship. They didn’t want me to go there anymore.” Coincidentally, Smith was the one who recruited Allen to play at Indiana. He was an assistant with the Hoosiers in 2011 and he liked what he saw in Allen — he loved his skillset. So when Smith was hired by Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez last year, he made it a point to bring Allen along with him. “He’s got a dual threat aspect to him,” Smith said. “He can run, he can throw and

Arizona Daily Wildcat • 9 you know he put up tremendous numbers in high school down in Prosper, Texas. There’s a strong upside for Javelle, he’s just gotta keep bringing it along.” It was weird for Allen last year, getting zero snaps in a redshirted first year in Tucson after being a starter for most of his life. But Indiana’s recruitment, scholarship offer and subsequent rejection has given Allen a chip on his shoulder. He wants to be the starter and he wants Indiana to know they made a mistake. On the surface, Denker, Scroggins and Solomon look to be ahead of him in the quarterback pecking order, but Allen thinks he “has a fair shot.” “He’s working hard,” said receiver Trey Griffey, who also redshirted in 2012. “It’s still really early but he’s giving it his all everyday, and I know he wants it as bad as anyone else and I think he’s proving himself well.”

KELSEE BECKER/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK Javelle Allen is in a battle with senior B.J. Denker, incoming freshman Anu Solomon and transfer Jesse Scroggins for the starting quarterback job.

Q&A hockey coach would Arizona like some ‘more ice time’ What’s the relationship between the divisions? Can you move people up and down like JV? Yeah you can. When I was at Oakland we started a Division III team, a Division I and Division III and there was some rules then. Like, when you move a player up, there’s a certain amount of times you can do it, you can’t just do it all the time, it’s not willy nilly and there’s some paperwork that goes along with it. If we ever get to that case where we’re adding other hockey teams, that’ll be something that we’ll discuss more then, but right now we’re focused on developing the Division I program to a national contender.

JAMES KELLEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona hockey team wrapped up its second season last month, missing out on the 20 team national tournament, despite an impressive resume, because of its struggles down the stretch. The Daily Wildcat caught up with head coach Sean Hogan before he departed for nationals where the USA hockey assistant coach will evaluate talent for the World University Games next year to talk about the future of UA hockey. Daily Wildcat: Is there any news on a new ice rink in Tucson? Hogan: Yeah, it’s an outside the University of Arizona thing that’s going on. So, there is a group in Tucson that’s interested in building a rink for their own business plan and their own purposes and we could possibly rent ice there. Whether that ever happens or comes to fruition I don’t know, but it’s not a University of Arizona project. If there is a new rink would you guys expand into Division II, Division III teams? You know what, I don’t know, we haven’t thought that far ahead, it’s all gonna depend on if that ever happens. But right now I’m happy with the TCC in terms of our games, we just obviously need more practice ice.

TYLER BESH/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA HEAD COACH Sean Hogan led the Wildcats to a 15-22-1 season this year, but the UA failed to make the postseason tournament.

travel to games. In that stretch we were only … what were we? 1-7 down the stretch? 1-7-1? Or 1-5-1, something like that down the stretch, with severe lack of practice time. That’s definitely something that of we want to continue to build the It just seems that if you had more ice time... hockey program here, we’ll get adjusted. Oh yeah, we’d be a better team for sure. I mean, But we’re happy with our game day operations the last month of the season we didn’t practice at the TCC for sure. much at the TCC, we had to go travel to practice,

Would it be possible to add a women’s team? Oh, it would be very possible if there was more ice time. That would be something that would be really cool. And what that does is that just creates more out-of-state students [interested] in the University of Arizona hockey program and the University of Arizona. It’s not just another recruiting tool for hockey, but a recruiting tool for the University of Arizona as well. There’s been some talk about the city building a new arena, do you think that will go anywhere? I have no idea, that’s beyond me. No idea. Hopefully it doesn’t take away from our ice time [laughs]. I’m happy with the TCC, it has so many unique characteristics about it. That crowd on [the UA’s last series] was awesome, there’s not a lot of better places in the nation than that on any level.

for a point guard. Drew is surrounded by NBA-level talent with Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams, not to mention Travis and David Wear, so his assist numbers are expectedly high. Drew is fifth on UCLA in scoring, and the four players above him get 54.9 points per game, a lot of it coming on Drew assists. “He’s a complete floor general,” Miller said of Drew. “He’s the throttle that makes them go and just in Pac-12 play I think he’s been excellent. If you look at the difference in the game [Saturday], to me he was the difference by his overall play.” McConnell should have similarly talented teammates next year, especially if Miller is able to secure No. 4 recruit Aaron Gordon. Solomon Hill, Kevin Parrom and Lyons will be gone, but Jerrett, Johnson, Brandon Ashley, Kaleb Tarczewski and Gabe York will all return, and incoming recruits Rondae Jefferson (a five-star) and Elliott Pitts (four) will join them. “TJ’s gonna be a really important part of our future,” Miller said.

Arizona drops out of top 15 After a weekend sweep at the hands of USC and UCLA, Arizona men’s basketball dropped from No. 11 to No. 18 in AP’s weekly Top 25 poll. It is the first time in 18 polls this season that the Wildcats (236, 11-6 Pac-12) are not ranked in the Top 15, but they are still the top-ranked team in the Pac-12. Oregon (23-6, 12-4) is right behind them at No. 19 and UCLA (22-7, 12-4) came in at No. 23 after being unranked, with zero votes, last week. California (20-9, 12-5) fell into the “others receiving votes” category. The Wildcats were eliminated from contention for the Pac-12 regular season title but play Arizona State on Saturday in their last game before the Pac-12 tournament. Arizona is currently fourth in the standings, behind Cal, UCLA and Oregon, the latter two being tied for first place. The Pac-12 Tournament begins on March 13 in Las Vegas.

Is it possible to take 21 shots?

A. 80 proof liquor (40% ethanol), is likely impossible. Anyone who tries would probably pass out before they reach 21 shots.

Taking 21 shots of hard alcohol, measured as 1.5 ounces of

For most drinkers, 2-4 drinks per hour will increase blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to over the .08 limit. For example, a 180 pound male drinking 21 shots over a four-hour period means he will have a BAC that is 5 times the legal .08 limit (and dangerously high). The biggest concern about attempting to consume 21 shots is when someone’s BAC becomes extremely high, between .30 and .40. At those BAC levels, the drinker may experience vomiting, blacking out, passing out, and alcohol poisoning that can lead to death. Let’s examine why someone would want to take 21 shots. If you and your friends have turned 21, you have probably heard of celebrating by drinking 21 shots (sometimes referred to as a “power hour”). Power hours are risky because the birthday guy or girl consumes many shots very quickly. Drinking that fast means they can expect vomiting, blacking out, respiratory arrest, or an alcohol-induced coma. Most people don’t look forward to experiencing those things on their birthday. Turning 21 is a huge milestone and deserves to be celebrated! Here are some tips to stay safe if you choose to celebrate with alcohol: • Have a sober friend to make sure you get home safely. • Set a limit on how many drinks you will have and stop when you reach it. • Find creative ways to say “no thanks” to friends that offer you shots. Check out the CHTV episode on how to pass up drinks and keep your street cred at www.youtube.com/uacampushealth. Not everyone gets drunk on their 21st birthday, even if it seems like it. Students often overestimate how much their peers are drinking, meaning that perceptions are not the reality. It’s your birthday, so celebrate your way and remember to stay safe.

Kishi Bashi crosses cultural boundaries K.C. LIBMAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

ometimes sacrifice and solitude are requirements for getting what you want. Though it comes at a cost, like most other aspects of creative efforts, the payout is worth the input. For K. Ishibashi, the sole force behind the avant-pop act, Kishi Bashi, this meant stints with Regina Spektor and Of Montreal as a hired gun, relying on his classical training in violin to put food on the table. And for his most recent effort, the freewheeling and multicultural 151a, Ishibashi took that sacrifice one step further. Abandoning the financial pressures of New York City, the Japanese-American multi-instrumentalist settled in Virginia to build a studio in his parents’ home, taking six months off from city life to craft the album he’d been biding his time to make. “[The move] kind of allowed me to really take some risks, and I’m glad I did because the album is doing well,” Ishibashi said. For an effort that’s as eclectic as 151a is, from its Japaneseinfluenced title, a syllogistic phrase translating to “one time, one place,” to Ishibashi’s instrumentation, the album’s progress has been stellar. Garnering accolades from Spin Magazine, Stereogum and even becoming something of an NPR darling, the success of the album has made Ishibashi his own employer — something he’d strived for his entire career. “I’m in a position now where I don’t have to [be a gun-for-

hire],” Ishibashi added. “I look forward to collaborating with artists, but I don’t think I could, or I won’t, work for anyone anymore.” That artistic freedom is well-deserved. Listen to 151a in its entirety and you’ll be rewarded with the most uplifting work this side of an Edward Sharpe release. Though for how fluid and linear the album is, Ishibashi’s process isn’t the typical de rigueur of a classically trained musician. “I’m not a purist in any form about the creative process, so it kind of comes as it is,” Ishibashi said. “I take the approach of making a lot of music and then hopefully condense it, with the hope of conquering a good portion of it, so I can have a good amount of core material.” While the album only clocks in at nine songs, there’s no filler on 151a. Rather, the songs are K. ISHIBASHI, aka Kishi Bashi imbued with bits of Ishibashi’s heritage, employing Japanese hooks on songs like “Chester’s Burst Over The Hamptons” and “Bright Whites.” Though it seems like a direct nod to his background, Ishibashi’s employment of Japanese lyricism acted more as a tool to

begin with. “I was looking for a way to create a different vocal instrument. When I was diving into the vocal technique, I was trying to find an alien instrument,” he said. “Japanese is actually really rhythmic, so it kind of works perfectly.” By tying both cultural, lyrical and rhythmic elements into the album, it’s safe to say that Ishibashi has created something of a benchmark. Nothing about his approach, from composition to production, feels like something done on a shoestring budget. And while 151a was written under alternative circumstances, it’s simultaneously the end to this chapter of Ishibashi’s career and the beginning of the next path he’ll take. “151a is my reaction to PRESS PHOTOS everything I’ve been doing all my life,” he said. “I had always been a violin for hire, or a composer for hire, scoring strings, and I never really did it for myself. I decided that this thing that I’m actually good at, I’ll really exploit it and work for myself.”
