Writing isn’t enough,” said Nguyen, a sophomore studying East Asian studies. When she’s not pretending to tutor her toys, Nguyen charges students $15 an hour for independent tutoring ses- sions. Teaching others helps her learn as well, she says, and tutoring can be used to help counter the consequences of pro- crastination. “I would like to study … in blocks of two or three hours a night but I just can’t get myself to do that. I’m a procrastinator, as many of us are,” said Taylor Robinson, a sophomore studying economics and po- litical science. “No matter what I try to do, it always ends up being that way.” A 2009 study by the University of Ken- tucky found college students struggle with frequent procrastination and to complete academic tasks because they often fail to “self-regulate.” In other words, students struggle to manage their time effectively. “Freshman year, it would’ve been re- ally helpful, I think, if I had a bit more structure, because when you first come to the university, you’re not used to it,” said Hannah Healy, a media arts senior. “You’re kind of dropped in the middle of this huge world and you don’t really know where to begin.” Though some students pay for tutoring and are satisfied with the results, many students would rather save the little mon- ey they have and take advantage of free re- sources, study on their own or ask friends for help. “It seems like I have a friend for every subject,” said Joey Vrechek, a political sci- ence senior. “School’s expensive enough, you know?” Many students take advantage of free learning resources and supplemental in- struction like teaching assistants’ office hours, review sessions, online discussion boards and even the free tutoring offered by the Think Tank, a program that helps students by providing tutors for specific subjects and test preparation sessions, among other services. There are also stu- dents who go the extra mile and pay for one-on-one tutoring sessions. The Think Tank provides both free and fee-based services for students. According Construction near the Math East building and the Highland Bowl will lead to a brand-new home for the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Re- search by the end of the year. Once completed, the Bryant Ban- nister Tree-Ring building will be a three-story structure including new offices, classrooms, laboratories and exhibit space for the Tree-Ring Lab. The construction is currently in the clearing and digging phase, and site was closed off to students beginning in November of 2011. “They dug a hole and now there is a structure rising out of the ground,” said Tom Swetnam, direc- tor of the Tree-Ring Lab. “Because of this, we are calling it a treehouse. It’s also designed in a way that fits the contour of a tree.” For 75 years, the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research has had a temporary location inside of Arizona Stadium, and later on expanded some of its offices to the basement of the Math East building. Swetnam said the plan of the new building is to eventually stage out all of the current tree- ring facilities on campus into one centralized location. “We needed a new home for quite a while because we have out- grown the stadium location,” Swet- nam said. “The reason we are able to do this now is because a gener- ous donor gave us a fair amount of funding to make this happen.” The donor, Agnese Haury, provided $9 million to build a new home for the lab. Haury, along with her late husband, Emil Haury, have been involved with the UA since the 1930s when Emil Haury was a graduate student working in the Tree-Ring Lab, according to Swetnam. An additional $3 million in funding was provided by the UA. The current cost of the project is $12,039,000, which is estimated by the UA’s Department of Planning, Design and Construction. The Bryant Bannister Tree-Ring building will be an addition to the Math East building and will double the size of the existing building, according to Christ Kraft, the facil- ities project manager. Some sides of the Math East building have been dug up to accommodate the new structure. “Like everything else, we need to build strong foundations to en- sure the rest of the structure is se- cure and stable for the life of the facility,” Kraft said. In addition to brand-new facilities for its research, the department will also host its first tree-ring exhibit on the ground level of the building. The exhibit will be free to the public, and will include tree-ring specimens from around the world. One of the permanent features in the exhibit includes a 10-foot cross section of a sequoia tree trunk, which is currently housed at the Arizona State Museum. “No one has seen this sequoia The UA’s College of Nursing welcomed 54 new students into its program this semester. Only five of them are men. Pursuing a career field dominated by women did not deter Christopher Anderson, Eric Bracamonte, Brian Corey, Daniel Rust and AJ Tio from entering the nursing program. Since Tio was young, he had been taking care of his grandmother, which was a big factor in his deci- sion to pursue a career in nursing. Tio said it is something he always wanted to do, despite the stigma of entering a traditionally female ca- reer path. Corey said he was drawn to the diversity within the field and the chance to be a part of something that can make a difference in someone’s life. Rust and Anderson also said they have always been interested in nursing because they love to work with people, and are interested in the medical health industry in general. “I have always wanted to be in the medical field and have a job that can leave an impact on people’s lives,” Anderson said. He added that he has always wanted to become a nurse — it didn’t matter to him how many men or women worked around him. Having five male students in the class was actually more than what Rust expected. Rust said he was surprised when he heard that five men were accepted to the College of Nursing’s class of 2013, and that he had gone into the program ex- pecting only one or two other male students. He was excited to see that there were other guys in the room, he said. For Corey, the male-to-female ra- tio came as no surprise. “I wasn’t expecting more than just 10 male students, and seeing that there were only five of us was no surprise to me,” Corey said. During a physical assessment day, the nurses participate in activities that require female students to wear shorts and a sports bra, while the men wear nothing but their shorts.

Vol. 105, Issue 6
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Newt Gin-grich and Mitt Romney intensified their bare-knuckles rhetorical brawl Thursday, with Gingrich verbally savaging the former Massachusetts governor, the campaign ads he’s run in Florida and even the Republican Party establishment
As Gingrich blasted away, Romney coyly but clearly returned fire at the former speaker of the House of Rep-resentatives during a campaign event in Jacksonville, portraying Gingrich as the consummate Washington Belt-way insider.
Speaking in friendly territory — be-fore a tea party crowd of about 500 in Central Florida’s Mount Dora — Gin-grich wasted little time before going after Romney and the barrage of TV ads that Romney’s campaign and pro-Romney super PACs have satu-rated Florida’s airwaves with before Tuesday’s Republican presidential primary in the state.
“This is the desperate last stand of the old order, throwing the kitchen sink, hoping something sticks,
because if only they can drown us in enough mud — raised with money from companies and people who foreclosed on Floridians,” Gingrich said, adding that the PAC ads were “paid for with money taken (from) the people of Florida, by companies like Goldman Sachs.”
Gingrich, who surged in Florida polls immediately after his primary victory last Saturday in South Caro-lina, said the race was now “very close” but conceded that the “weight of the negative ads” and what he called Romney’s “dishonesty” had “hurt us some.”
Gingrich also had choice words for the GOP establishment, calling it “just as much an establishment as the Democratic establishment.” Sev-eral high-profile senior Republicans — such as former President George H.W. Bush, former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu and former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole of Kansas, have endorsed Romney.
“And they are just as determined to stop us,” Gingrich said. “Make no bones about it, this is a campaign for
the very nature of the Republican Par-ty and the very opportunity for a citi-zen conservatism to defeat the power of money and to prove that people matter more than money, than Wall Street, and people matter more than all the big companies that are pouring cash into Romney ads that are false.”
Gingrich’s jab at the GOP came as the Romney campaign released a let-ter from Dole that’s sharply critical of Gingrich, his leadership skills and his scruples.
“If Gingrich is the nominee it will have an adverse impact on Republi-can candidates running for county, state and federal offices,” Dole wrote. “Hardly anyone who served with Newt in Congress has endorsed him and that fact speaks for itself. He was a one-man-band who rarely took ad-vice. It was his way or the highway.”
The letter mentions the House eth-ics investigation that led to Gingrich becoming the first speaker ever to be punished by the House — on a 395-28 vote in the Republican-controlled chamber — for ethics violations. He also had to pay a $300,000 fine.
Egypt bars US workers from travel, escalating crackdown
North Carolina’s governor opts out of her run for re-election
Syrian violence climbs as officials prepare an anti-Assad case for UN
BEIRUT — Dozens of people were reported killed Thursday as violence raged across Syria and Arab League officials calling on President Bashar Assad to relinquish power prepared to take their case to the United Nations.
The Syrian regime blames the violence on terrorists, including Islamic militants, armed and supported by foreign nations. Opposition groups say the government’s brutal crackdown on peace-ful protests has led to an armed rebellion of Syrians seeking justice and freedom from Assad’s police state.
Both sides gave conflict-ing accounts of the latest spate of bloodshed since large-scale protests against Assad’s rule broke out 10 months ago, pushing the na-tion toward civil war.
Pro-Assad demonstrators
gathered in Damascus, Syr-ia’s capital, and other cities, the state-owned news agen-cy said, even as anti-govern-ment protests and attacks on security forces continued.
Heavy fighting was re-ported in several Damascus suburbs, but an opposition group reported that the larg-est death toll was in the trou-bled central cities of Homs and Hama, where 54 were killed by government secu-rity forces, according to the Local Coordinating Com-mittees, an activist group that seeks Assad’s ouster. Nationwide, the group said, security forces had killed 65 people.
A reduced corps of Arab League monitors have re-sumed their work on the ground in Syria, seeking to verify if Damascus is taking steps to end the violence. Missing were 55 Gulf Arab
monitors who left Syria af-ter six Gulf nations, led by Saudi Arabia, questioning Assad’s commitment to peace. The Syrian govern-ment says the league is in-volved in a “conspiracy” to topple Assad.
Arab League officials, meanwhile, were prepar-ing to head to New York in a bid to convince the U.N. Se-curity Council to condemn Assad’s regime. The league has called on Assad to relin-quish power, but the Syrian government has rejected the proposal. The Arab League is said to be working with Western nations, includ-ing the United States, on a draft resolution condemning the Syrian government. But Russia, a Security Council member with veto power, has voiced opposition to any U.N. sanctions or military ac-tion against their Syrian ally.
Mcclatchy tribune
WASHINGTON — In a surprise move, North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue announced Thursday that she will not seek a second term this November.
The Democrat said in a statement that she de-cided against a re-election bid so she could avoid further politicizing her fight with the state’s Re-publican Legislature over school funding.
“A re-election campaign in this already divisive environment will make it more difficult to find any bipartisan solutions,” she said.
Perdue becomes the third Democratic in-cumbent to decide not to seek a new term this year. Eleven governorships are up for grabs in 2012, eight of which are currently held by Democrats.
Previously the state’s lieutenant governor for two terms, Perdue won a narrow victory in 2008 over then-Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, a win credited in part to the strength of Barack Obama’s strong organization in the state.
But her poll numbers have long been in peril-ous terrain for an incumbent. Perdue’s statement acknowledged that “difficult economic times” have demanded “many difficult decisions.”
“I have had to make painful budget cuts in im-portant areas of government. But I believe I have approached this challenge in a way that is consis-tent with my values,” she said.
McCrory is already running again for the GOP and looked to be a favorite in a November re-match against Perdue, which would end two de-cades of Democratic control of the office.
“It’s never been more clear that North Caro-lina needs a Republican governor who will bring fresh ideas and a new perspective to the governor’s office,” Republican Governors As-sociation Executive Director Phil Cox said in a statement.
National Republicans were also eager to spin Perdue’s decision as a blow to Democrats and Obama, since the party’s national convention is to be held in Charlotte this September. Perdue
is also vice chair of the Democratic Governors Association.
It was not clear who might be able to step up for Democrats in Perdue’s place. Three-term At-torney General Roy Cooper said he still plans to seek re-election, The Associated Press reported. Still, the Democratic Governors Association said it would be “fully engaged” to make sure the seat stays Democratic.
“The DGA believes that North Carolina re-mains a strong opportunity for Democrats in 2012, especially now that Pat McCrory has walked in lock-step with the Republican lead-ership’s efforts to cut funding for North Caro-lina public schools and colleges,” DGA Chair-man Martin O’Malley of Maryland said in a statement.
Another North Carolina Democrat, U.S. Rep. Brad Miller, also said Thursday that he would not seek re-election. Redistricting would have forced him to have to challenge another Democratic in-cumbent in a primary.
CAIRO — Egypt has barred at least 10 American and European civil society work-ers — including the son of a senior Obama administration official — from leaving the country in a sign that the ruling generals are extending their crackdown on foreign pro-democracy groups.
Sam LaHood, the director of the Egyptian program of the Washington-based Interna-tional Republican Institute and the son of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, said Thursday that four employees of the insti-tute had been banned from traveling outside Egypt. He learned he was included when he was prevented from leaving via the Cairo air-port Saturday.
“It’s absolutely an escalation,” LaHood said. “It’s a de facto detention.”
U.S. officials were outraged last month when Egyptian forces raided the Cairo offices of the International Republican Institute and other American and Egyptian civil society organizations in a continuing campaign to blame the groups for fueling unrest with their “foreign funds.” Special forces and prosecu-tors sealed the offices and carted away com-puters, cellphones and files. The National Democratic Institute, Freedom House and a German nongovernmental organization were among those raided.
After some members of Congress
threatened to push for an end to Egypt’s annual $1.3 billion military aid package, most analysts thought the matter would be resolved quickly through diplomatic channels. Egyptian officials promised that the confiscated equipment would be returned and that the groups were in the pipeline for official registration, which the government has withheld for years.
Instead, it appears that the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has no plans to scale back what Egyptian and American nonprofit workers have long described as a campaign to depict them as foreign agents, a dangerous label that already has prompted xenophobic attacks.
State media and nightly talk shows por-trayed such groups as working to under-mine Egypt’s sovereignty and stability even before the popular uprising that ended the rule of former U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak last year.
This week, Egyptian media reported that up to 40 foreigners would be referred to court next month on charges of “illicit foreign fund-ing.” Sam LaHood and other employees of the targeted groups said they were aware of a ju-dicial investigation but had no information on possible charges.
“We’ve had 17 employees go in for 20 in-terviews,” LaHood said. “The judges are still investigating.”

Not many students look quite this put-together from head to toe when they’ve just
thrown together an outfit in a hurry.“Today was kind of a jump-out-
of-bed day,” said pre-business freshman Danielle Roth.
While a roll-out-of-bed look usually consists of a baggy T-shirt, sweatpants and a quick hair up-do, for Roth it was
1. an oversized Louis Vuitton bag
2. Ray-Ban sunglasses
3. a pair of Steve Madden wedgesAnd this fashionista doesn’t stop with just her accessories.“These are my walking heels. They’re so comfortable.”She’s right. Heels can be worn on campus if they’re
comfortable to walk in, and most wedged heels are if they have a platform base like Roth’s.

The Eiffel Tower. Croissants. Van Gogh paintings. The Parisian Cafe is open for business, and it’s calling out to students. Although most of us won’t go on a trip to France anytime soon, this restaurant offers the next best thing: authentic French pastries and French-American food just minutes from campus.
Justin Murdock, co-owner and chef of Parisian Cafe, said that when he started learning to cook almost 25 years ago, he never “in a million years” would have thought he would someday open a French restaurant. But Murdock found inspiration after working alongside Joel Suire, Parisian chef and owner of Joel’s Bistro on University Boulevard. So Murdock, a Tucson native, joined Suire to take on French cuisine — and add his own flavors to it. Now Suire and Murdock work together to offer both authentic and fused dishes.
The restaurant serves breakfast all day, with choices such as Quiche Lorraine, French toast made from fresh brioche bread, and a variety of omelets. The cafe’s atmosphere is laid-back and comfortable, which encourages diners to sit down and relax in true Parisian fashion.
But you don’t need to reserve hours of your day to enjoy Parisian Cafe. The service also offers to-go options, so it’s easy to grab a pastry on your way to class. Or consider trying one of the many other treats that Suire makes from scratch. Chocolate croissants, cinnamon swirl croissants, and even apple-filled pastries, all go great with a cup of the cafe’s coffee or espresso.
Have you ever wondered what ratatouille tastes like? It’s not just the name of a Pixar movie; it’s also one of the cafe’s French favorites.
A specialty of the cafe, however, is the eggs bisque. The dish is a new Southwestern twist on the classic eggs benedict, which combines pork confit on top of grilled leeks and cheddar biscuits with poached eggs and a tarragon
and tomato hollandaise. Murdock said crowd feedback
on the restaurant has been worth the long hours it took to get the restaurant running, noting both French natives and French food enthusiasts will appreciate the cafe’s authenticity.
Maddie Dejean, a political science sophomore whose father is a French cook who lived in France for four years, said her Denver omelet “was like my dad’s.” She said the cafe reminded her of a low-key French bistro where you get food and go.
Kiley Wassenberg, a freshman studying French who lived in France for a year, said this “cute and quaint” cafe is convenient for freshmen who want a change from normal campus eats but don’t want to walk far. Also, any one of the items displayed on the shelves, including an espresso machine, French cookbooks, trinkets and iron Eiffel towers, are for sale.
There are also four to six soups on rotation, each handcrafted by Murdock as a warm winter alternative to breakfast offerings
all day.“We offer everyone a little bit
different and more upscale,” Murdock said. “Every day I’m learning new ideas.”
Murdock emphasizes that Parisian Cafe’s staff is focused on pleasing the customers and adapting to their surroundings. Since opening in late November, Murdock changed the menu items multiple times to cater to local tastes which helps get the word out about the cafe.
“People who know we’re here come back,” Murdock said. “We
offer a comfortable feel, relaxed atmosphere, and good quality food for a great price.”

‘Games’ movie transition tricky
Katniss Everdeen is braver than most people her age or mine. In a dystopian setting, she bucks societial norms to take her place in a Gladiator-esque battle to
the death — “The Hunger Games.” Her journey, and the futuristic District-divided world
in which she lives, has become the center of a successful trilogy of books — and an upcoming movie series.
Dystopian novels can and have become movies worthy of critical acclaim, but seem to not reach the heights of Hollywood blockbusters of the last 10 years, like the “Harry Potter” or “Twilight” series.
One such instance was the 1992 novel “The Children of Men” by P.D. James, and its 2006 film adaptation starring Clive Owen and Julianne Moore.
The novel follows diary entries from Theo Faron as well as omniscient narraration starting from the “Year Omega” when the sperm counts of men dropped to zero and the last babies were born. Set in the year 2021, the book depicts an England with only an advisory Parliament, a nearly defunct court system and the demand that citizens learn husbandry among other skills in case they are the last British citizens. With the help of an underground group, the “Five Fishes,” however, things start to change as Theo learns why a group member, Julian, is so important — she is pregnant.
The film adaptation of this movie, however, changes many details, like the fact that Julian is Theo’s ex-wife and not pregnant. Instead of being a historian, Theo works for the Ministry of Energy to make a compelling movie set in a world that echoes the dystopian without being overwhelming.
“The Hunger Games,” held to be a slightly better written book than “The Children of Men,” may seek to do the same with its movie adaptation. But unlike its series-to-movie predecessors, “Hunger Games” addresses adult themes, like death, gore and violence, and is less focused on teen love or school tensions.
The question is whether “The Hunger Games” will follow the dystopian or Hollywood blockbuster route?
The material dictates dystopian, with an engaging and visual, albeit predictable, plot. But the four-movie series construction, the casting of blond “Winter’s Bone” star Jennifer Lawrence, and the success of “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” will inevitably push the producers to think less dystopian and more Hollywood blockbuster.
Details of the epic “Hunger Games” battle, including its most violent forays, will be omitted if it’s ever to reach a PG-13 rating and maximum viewership, forcing filmmakers to opt for less of the book’s dystopian roots to achieve another triumphant, if not somewhat watered-down, adaptation of a teen novel series to a silver screen success.

In a month dominated by Republican politics, President Barack Obama commanded the attention of America
on Tuesday night with his State of the Union address.
Predictably, but perhaps shrewdly, Obama took his first few minutes to remind everyone that he, in fact, was the man who was in charge of killing Osama bin Laden . It is notable, however, that not long after this reminder, foreign policy was absent from the speech for nearly an hour. America is concerned about its economy, and that was rightly the bulk of Obama’s address. He seemed genuinely committed to getting Americans back to work, but his plans to do so appeared a little questionable.
A lot of his rhetoric was based less on generating jobs and more on “taking them back” from other countries. He seemed disdainful of multinational companies, and a little hostile toward China with his boasts of taking China to task for unfair trade. None of what he said was necessarily wrong, but he seemed to misunderstand that the economy is truly global.
He spoke more effectively to economic matters when he moved to education. His commitment to training people for existing job vacancies, and to educating as many Americans as possible, was admirable and correct. So too were his remarks about energy, especially clean energy, which he rightly promised to work harder to exploit and to consume.
As was inevitable, Obama addressed the partisan gridlock in Washington and, as ever, described his willingness to put an end to it. He missed an opportunity to do just that, however, by failing to speak substantially about the debt, one of his partisan opponents’ main concerns.
Finally, his shortened foreign policy portion, very focused on the Middle East, held few surprises. America supports Israel, decries Iran and Syria, and has a major stake in democracy and justice in that region. The abbreviated length of his remarks on the world around us spoke louder, perhaps, than their content did.
As is often the case with Obama, the State of the Union address was intellectual in content and classically oratorical in delivery, a fine contrast to the hyper-emotional language that seems to characterize politics nowadays.
However, there were two moments in the speech that stirred the heart. One was at the very beginning, when he gave a genuinely heartfelt hug to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords . The second came at the end, when he once again called on his operation against bin Laden. With true passion, not of the political but of the merely human variety, he said that “no one built America alone.” Like the SEALs on that mission, America was built, and can continue to be built, only together, as a national team. If the only thing that anyone got from his State of the Union was the spirit of those remarks, then it was an address far from wasted.

Many students will wake up early on Saturday to paint their faces blue and
red, put on their white UA T-shirts and head to McKale Center for the filming of ESPN’s College GameDay . When the clock hits 7 a.m., all the fans who braved the early hours will scream loudly and proudly, representing the UA student population to a national audience.
After seven years of covering college basketball games across the United States, this will be College
GameDay’s first appearance at a basketball game in Tucson (the football version appeared in 2009). Fans get to witness the live filming of a national television show and see history made on campus.
The arrival of the College GameDay crew means much more than publicity for our basketball team or school. Instead, it serves as a reminder to the student body to have fun. With second semester in full swing, it’s easy to get bogged down thinking about the grade
point average you need or the amount of homework in front of you. Sometimes it’s just as important to put aside the studying to go out and have a good time.
“It’s really cool that ESPN is coming to campus,” said undeclared freshman Brian Levine . “With the excitement and noise of the crowd, McKale is going to be like no other.”
According to a 2010 study by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA’s Graduate School of Education & Informational Studies , only 51.9 percent of students surveyed reported that their emotional health was above average. This is a 3.4 percent drop since 2009 , and stress is the leading cause.
While many college students don’t have trouble finding fun on the weekends, the arrival of College GameDay brings about an exciting
atmosphere for every single student on campus and a chance for fun without alcohol.
It doesn’t matter if you like or even understand basketball, everyone is guaranteed an opportunity to be a part of the electric school spirit coursing through the arena.
Spending 30 minutes watching the game or going to College GameDay on Saturday is the perfect way to relieve stress. Through productive and safe yelling at people on a court who aren’t listening to you, and cheering on the team can help relieve stress in a healthy way. The game is a perfect opportunity to put studies aside, take a break and release some emotion through some productive screaming.
Getting to see College GameDay may be a once-in-a-lifetime
experience, since it only comes to eight schools a year . This presents a perfect opportunity to experience the live filming of a show and gives you the opportunity to say, “Yeah, I went to that!”
This weekend is about more than a basketball game, it’s about a chance for students to spend an hour, or a day, forgetting about the stresses of school while cheering our beloved wildcats to victory. Paint your face, dye your hair, make a clever sign or just show up. It doesn’t matter if you are in McKale or in your living room. Take two hours off of a busy life just for the sake of having fun.

Trending up Raising Arizona tensions: President Barack Obama better have relished his moment soaking in some Arizona rays during his visit to Chandler on Wednesday, because Gov. Jan Brewer’s disposition was nowhere near as sunny. Between a sealed letter, which Brewer refuses to release, and the now-infamous Index Finger-gate, Obama probably received a reception more hostile than he anticipated. But at least Brewer’s antics were still better than Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s plan to present the president with a custom-made pink jumpsuit and invite him for a walk in the desert.
Microsoft-hearted: Everyone’s favorite geek Bill Gates announced that his charitable group, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, will donate $750 million to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. This sum is already on top of the close to $650 million that the foundation has given to the fund over the last 10 years. Yeah, that’s impressive and all, but I bet Apple can make it thinner.
Panetta pinching: U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced that under a current budget proposal, the Pentagon’s budget will shrink next year, for the first time since 1998. Of course, it will be reduced by $6 billion next year, and then gradually increase every year after that. Thank goodness for future increases; as of 2009, the U.S. military budget only accounted for 40 percent of all global arms spending, and we Americans never do anything halfway.
CAT TRACKSCan we taco-bout this?: Around 500 tacos were delivered to East Haven, Conn., after Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. said he would eat tacos to show support for the Latino community in light of discrimination allegations against the East Haven Police Department. This is great news for Maturo. With all those tacos to eat, he’ll have no room to stick his foot in his mouth.
All’s fair in love and … actually, just war: U.S. Staff Sgt. Frank G. Wuterich, a former Marine squad leader who was charged in connection to 24 deaths in Haditha, Iraq, in 2005, received a rank demotion and a pay cut as punishment for his crimes, but avoided jail time. On the bright side, at least all those war protesters asking what the price of a human life is just found out.
Don’t fear the reefer: Proponents of Colorado’s forthcoming ballot initiative to legalize marijuana in the state are trying to compare the drug to alcohol, and suggest that it should be regulated as such. They also say the United States should apply the lessons of Prohibition, and decriminalize marijuana to avoid giving criminals additional money in the pot. Sorry Colorado, but the two substances are completely different. Until you can grow marijuana in the way God intended, in a speakeasy bathtub, it shouldn’t be legalized.

Holy hairspray A fire alarm went off in a room in Graham-Greenlee Residence
Hall on Monday at 10:03 a.m. When University of Arizona Po-lice Department officers arrived, Tucson Fire Department fire-fighters and UA janitors had already surrounded the door. The officers had the dorm’s resident assistant open the door. Upon entering, neither the firefighters nor the officers saw smoke or a fire, but did notice the room smelled strongly of hairspray. The four women who shared the room were notified that their room was entered because the fire alarm was triggered. They asked why the alarm went off, and officers told them that the amount of hairspray in the room set it off.
The girls were asked to use less hairspray, and prop doors and windows open when they do.
A good Samaritan A UA employee reported that she had been in an accident
on Monday morning. When a UAPD officer arrived, he found the woman standing next to her silver Honda Civic. The officer asked if she was OK and what had happened. The woman said she was pulling into lot 2147, near the Medical Research build-ing, when she accidentally hit a silver 2003 Jeep Wrangler. The employee also said she had been trying to contact the owner of the Jeep, but all of her attempts were unsuccessful, so she called UAPD. The officer also could not reach the owner of the Jeep. The officer inspected the damage to the car and found a minor dent on the left side of the rear plastic bumper.
The employee was released from the scene after giving all of her information to the officer. The officer left his contact card with the case number on it so the driver could call him if needed.
Ex-girlfriend strikes backUAPD officers went to an employee’s office on Tuesday at 1 p.m.
in response to a report of harassment. The employee, who was nearly in tears, said a young female voice kept calling and verbally harassing her. According to the report, the young woman had called another individual earlier in the day at Babcock Residence Hall. The caller badgered the UA employee by saying, “I know who you are dating right now and I hate him, he (the employee’s boy-friend) destroys lives and has a bad temper. I hate him so much. He ruined finances and he gave me an STD.” The UA employee continued to ask who she was speaking to, but the caller did not acknowledge the employee.
The caller finally hung up as officers arrived. The number was blocked, but the employee said she thought it was her boyfriend’s former girlfriend. The officer contacted the boyfriend and asked if he had received any threatening calls, and the boyfriend said he received emails and text messages in the past, but nothing lately. The officers documented and forwarded the information to University Information Technology Services to possibly find the blocked number. Officers told the couple to continue telling the caller to stop if she called again.

A victory over ASU would mean something different to each player on the Arizona hockey team, but only one thing to the squad as a whole: the end to a pair of ugly streaks.
The Wildcats have lost to the Sun Devils in 20 straight games and haven’t made the national tourna-ment since 2004. A win this week-end would likely end both of those streaks.
“Some people on our team have never won against them,” said for-ward Andrew Murmes. “You’d think after (20) games you’d be able to get one win … It’s embarrassing, it sucks.”
If the No. 19 Wildcats want to beat the Sun Devils for the first time since 2009, they’ll have to beat the No. 3 team in the country on the road at Oceanside Ice Arena, something they’ve already failed at doing twice this season.
Murmes is one of the fortunate ones — he’s only had to endure 12 of
the 20 losses during the streak. But for juniors like forward Jared Lowell, it’s been a long road.
“It feels like it’s been 60 games. … It’s just over and over again,” Lowell said.
Juniors on the team have been a part of every single heartbreaker during the streak, and Lowell said the losses are now becoming an endless nightmare.
“For us it’s just a broken record, just the same game over and over again,” he said.
The ending of the streak would also mean a renewed opportunity to go to the national tournament, another stretch the Wildcats aren’t too proud of.
A win would boost Arizona’s re-sume and give it a shot come se-lection time, but as the four games against ASU have shown this year, that’s a lot easier said than done.
“We understand that this is it,” forward Kyle Miranda said. “This is a huge moment for us. I think we are going to take them down, and that’s just how the whole team feels.”
Miranda, a freshman, is new to the rivalry. But thanks to a 3-2 shootout loss in October and a 7-2 drubbing the last time the schools met, he’s been quickly introduced to the intensity and significance of
these games.“Every shift you get the butterflies
going, every shift you’re giving it your all,” Miranda said. “There’s definitely an extra added incentive to go harder. It’s just a great experience.”
And even with the lopsided nature between the two teams the past two and a half seasons, the passion of the rivalry hasn’t been lessened.
“I hate all of them. … These guys are our rivals,” Murmes said. “I’ve talked to a couple of them, they’re not bad kids. But when it’s on the ice, I don’t like them at all.”
However, memories of ASU games aren’t bad for everyone on the team. Seniors like defenseman Geordy Weed actually have the ability to tell their teammates about beating their in-state rivals.
“The one thing I tell them,” Weed said, “is that there’s no better feeling.”
Revenge hangs in the air as Sacra-mento State’s men’s tennis team re-turns to play the Arizona men’s tennis team today.
Just last season, Arizona clinched a match against the Hornets by a single point, 4-3. Sophomore Mario Urquidi, a freshman then, took the third and final singles point of the match in a three-set battle against Javier Millan to force doubles play for the tiebreaker.
Urquidi dropped the first set 6-2. In the second set, it was a battle for every game and Urquidi clinched it 7-5. By the third set, Urquidi kept Millan at one game to win the match 6-1.
Then it was left up to former Arizo-na player Andres Carrasco and then
freshman Kieren Thompson to send the Hornets home in defeat. Carrasco and Thompson did just that by clinch-ing the match-winning point with a score of 8-2.
On Friday, the two teams will meet up again and the Wildcats are pre-pared to play with a full roster. This includes newcomers Sumeet Shinde and Sebastian Ionescu. It will be Io-nescu’s collegiate debut.
“Sacramento has dominated its conference in the past years,” head coach Tad Berkowitz said. “Most Cali-fornia schools are strong competition, so we look to play our best game.”
To make the schedule easier on the traveling teams, the Wildcats will also host San Francisco on Sunday.

Fogg, Lavender combine to shoot 8-of-11 from deep as hoops dismisses Wazzu
3-point shooting lifts ‘Cats
After the women’s basketball team lost to Colorado by two points on Sunday, senior guard Reiko Thomas described what the Wild-cats felt about their play in one word.
“Disappointment,” she said.That was after a two-point loss.
On Thursday, however, Arizona was on the wrong end of a 29-point rout at the hands of Washington, 77-48. The Wildcats have now dropped three games in a row and have a re-cord of 13-7 and 2-6 in the Pac-12.
From the get-go it was clear that the Wildcats weren’t ready for the first matchup in their Washington road trip. After the Huskies opened the game on a 7-0 run, they ex-tended their lead to 27-10, and then closed out the first half with a 49-21 advantage following a last-second basket by Jazmine Davis.
“Washington played a great game,” head coach Niya Butts said in a press release. “They were shoot-ing the ball really well for the first 15
minutes or so. I think they took our confidence away when they started knocking down shots.”
Arizona had trouble containing Davis all night and she led all scor-ers with 28 points on 9-of-16 shoot-ing, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range. Davis and Washington center Regina Rogers alone combined to score 48 points — the same total as the entire Arizona team.
The Wildcats’ struggles primarily came as a result of poor shooting, where they shot 18-of-59 overall and 5-of-23 from 3-point range. Arizona also turned the ball over 23 times.
Wildcat junior guard Davellyn Whyte struggled shooting the ball for the second straight game, as she went just 3-of-15 from the field and scored 10 points. Over the last two games Whyte has shot a combined 6-of-31 for 18 points.
Shanita Arnold, who typically starts at point guard for Arizona, but came off the bench against Wash-ington, led the Wildcats with 11 points and nine rebounds.
“I’m not sure what we had going on tonight, but it certainly isn’t the way we want to play basketball,” Butts said. “We need to find a way to bounce back for our game on Saturday.”
It took three runs by three different players, but the combination of Kyle Fogg, Josiah Turner and Solomon Hill was enough to lead the Arizona men’s basketball team to victory on Thursday night.
The Wildcats defeated the Washington State Cougars 85-61 in McKale Center, a welcome sight after a one-point loss to Colorado last Saturday.
The scoring-by-committee approach was one that worked well for Arizona. In the first half, it was all Fogg for Arizona. The senior had 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting, going 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. But Fogg had just two points in the second half.
“Tonight Fogg was going and we got Kyle the ball,” Hill said. “We just have to understand what guys to go to. It would be good if every guy could score 10 points in one night, but it’s not always go-ing to be like that. Everybody has to understand the hot hand.”
Head coach Sean Miller called Fogg’s perfor-mance in the first half that of a leader.
“The fact that he had (18 points) in one half re-ally shows you how ready he was,” Miller said. “He’s not turning the ball over, and when he doesn’t turn it over, makes shot, plays his usual defense, he’s one of the better players in our conference.”
After Fogg’s streak ended, Turner was thrown into the mix before being ejected at the 10:06 mark of the second half for picking up two separate fouls

WSU rout could spark Pac-12 run
The strangest things can spark a team in col-lege basketball.
It can be a hard foul. It can be a coach calling his players out in the media. It can be a players-only meeting. It can be a star forward getting a face full of Nike. Hell, it can even be a bar fight.
Arizona is hoping to add a 24-point rout of a white-hot Washington State team to that list.
Somehow — almost miraculously — after split-ting their first three full weekends of Pac-12 play — the Wildcats are only a game back in the loss column from the conference’s leader, Cal.
All of the ingredients are there for the Wildcats to go on a tear through the Pac-12. They have a freshman point guard playing the best of his career in Josiah Turner, who scored nine points and dished out four assists before being ejected for his second technical foul half way through the second half.
They have a pair of senior guards who, with an early make or two, can go on a 3-point shoot-ing rampage — see Brendon Lavender and Kyle Fogg’s combined 8-for-11 shooting effort from 3-point range and 34 points against Washington State.
They have Kevin Parrom, who’s one of the conference’s best wing players when he’s healthy, almost back to form, both mentally and physi-cally.

Jay Bilas is a Duke Blue Devil through and through. He was a four-year starter for Mike Krzyzewski from 1983-1986 and coached under coach K from 1990-1992, earning two national championship rings.
Bilas also earned a Duke law degree, further proving his allegiance to the prestigious university. But despite his bias for the Atlantic Coast Conference, Bilas’ level of respect for Arizona basketball is up there with any other program in the country.
“Basketball is how the average Joe associates excellence with the University of Arizona and that’s what it’s been, a program of excellence, since coach (Lute) Olson took it over,” Bilas said. “Knowing some of the different Arizona players over the years, so many quality guys that the pro-gram’s put out. There’s a lot to be proud of.”
When Bilas steps foot in McKale Center on Saturday as part of ESPN GameDay’s crew, memories of coach-ing on the sidelines against the Wild-cats will come rushing back.
When he sees Steve Kerr’s jersey in the rafters, he’ll be reminded of his friendship with the man he called the “best 3-point shooter ever.”
When he catches up with legendary UA coach Lute Olson, he’ll remember when Olson attempted to recruit him
to Iowa and how the relationship the two developed.“I knew him really well and still do,” Bilas said.Bilas talked to the Daily Wildcat about his memories in
McKale, his take on UA head coach Sean Miller and his love for rapper Young Jeezy:
On Arizona’s team this year: “It’s a good team. They’ve got some young guys handling the ball. Certainly last year, if I remember right, they won eight or nine games by four or five points or less. They’re not winning those games at the same rate this year. That shows you that even last year with the No. 2 pick in the draft the margin is pretty slim. I think they’re way ahead of expectations about where the program should be. I think Sean’s done a remarkable job getting that program back up and rolling. I think it will continue to go on the upswing with the quality of players he’s bringing in.”
On Sean Miller: “He can operate anywhere — on a bas-ketball floor, in a boardroom, you name it. He gets along with everybody. He’s demanding while at the same time allowing his players the freedom to perform. He’s trying to build a foundation of how to do things the right way every day and I think he’s doing a really good job of it.”
On the best player in UA history: “All around it’s hard to beat Sean Elliott. You have Gilbert Arenas who was tremen-dous. He was only there for two years. I’d probably lean to-ward Sean Elliott all around. Best shooter no question about it was Steve Kerr. But I’d probably go with Sean.”
On who will win Saturday’s game: “I think that Wash-ington’s more talented. I think they miss CJ Wilcox. They’re really good in transition. They’re not great defensively. They’re super talented. If Arizona takes away their transi-tion I think the Wildcats have a really good chance to win.”
On Young Jeezy: “I listen to it. It’s good stuff. You’ve got to try it. You’ve got to branch out a little bit.
On his favorite song: “Off the TM 103 album I’d say it’s probably ‘OJ.’”
On if he and Jeezy have met: “Not yet. There’s some-thing in the works. His people have talked to my people.”

The implications of Saturday’s ESPN GameDay matchup be-tween Arizona and Washington
go well beyond the Pac-12 standings. It’s more than just a late-January showdown to gauge if the Wildcats or Huskies can make a push at the con-ference title. It represents more than the progression of a rivalry between Lorenzo Romar’s squad and Sean Miller’s crew.
Yes, the Wildcats need a victory if they hope to go dancing in March, but this game is bigger than that.
ESPN GameDay matchups like Saturday’s have the potential to elevate a program’s recruiting, revenue and recognition.
“It’s a huge recruiting weekend for us,” Miller said. “We have a national audience, we have important people in the stands.”
The growing whiteout tradition alone is a major selling point for high school stars torn between schools. Then add in that basketball legends like Bob Knight, Digger Phelps, Jay Bilas and Hubert Davis could be com-ing to McKale Center every few years and Arizona becomes an even more appealing destination.
There’s no question the nation’s No. 1 recruit Shabazz Muhammad will be among the millions tuning in to ESPN
to watch McKale Center turn white and Bilas, Davis and Knight rave about the atmosphere.
Could the intrigue of a packed house and a national audience be enough to lure Muhammad from Duke, Kentucky, UCLA or Kansas?
Quite possibly. The correlation between Ari-
zona and exciting basketball will be cemented in the minds of these future collegiate athletes, which is something a simple victory over a conference op-ponent could never do on its own.
Days like Saturday are why Josiah Turner, Nick Johnson and Angelo Chol chose Arizona over other top programs. The same will soon be said for future Wildcats.
Then there’s the revenue side of things. Saturday is one of the biggest days of the year for the city of Tucson.
This game’s economic impact out-weighs any notch in the win column. Washington fans will travel all of the way from Seattle to be a part of such a spectacle.
UA fans or alumni are going to catch a flight to their old stomping grounds to be thrown in the sea of white and possibly meet the ESPN personalities.
All of these travelers will pay for hotels, rent cars, go out to dinner, grab a few drinks and pour money into the
Tucson economy. And that’s just the non-locals.
The casual UA fan and Tucson resi-dent becomes a diehard fan for games like Saturday’s. They’re willing to buy their kid a Solomon Hill jersey, or pos-sibly look into a season ticket package for next season due to the intrigue of this game.
Consider this: Arizona football’s home matchup against Iowa two seasons ago brought in about $8 mil-lion to the community, according to a report from the Arizona Daily Star.
After taking money multipliers into account it was figured that the game brought in nearly $14 million in revenue. While football is a more prof-itable sport, it’s easy to see the financial impact of tomorrow’s game.
Lastly, there’s the issue of exposure. Arizona is destined for the bubble on Selection Sunday, and an impressive showing in front of the selection com-mittee could go a long way in giving Arizona the edge it needs to get in the NCAA Tournament.
So a victory for Arizona against the Huskies is so much more than just a way to stay in the conference race. Saturday has the potential to draw top recruits, stimulate the Tucson economy and athletic department, and give UA the upper hand when Selection Sunday rolls around.
Not a bad day at the office for Greg Byrne and company.

Q A&
By Mike SchmitzDa ily WilDca t
McKale whiteout part deux
Sean Miller is a busy man.Between recruiting, scouting and coaching, he watches
enough basketball to scramble a normal man’s brain.But through all the late nights and headaches, there’s
one thing Miller’s never concerned about.“I never worry about our atmosphere,” Miller said. “We
have the best fans in the world. It’s sickening when we lose, especially at home. That’s something we’ve talked a lot about — honoring McKale.”
Miller will put his team on one of college basketball’s biggest stages on Saturday night, hosting Washington with ESPN’s College GameDay crew in town, a prime-time tip off slot and, for the second consecutive year, a crowd of more than 14,000 white-clad fans.
The third-year head coach said the McKale Center whiteout crowd helped Arizona win a game last year when it might not have been the better team, adding that the crowd can account for as much as a five-point swing in Arizona’s favor.
“The whiteout a year ago was the single biggest home court advantage that I’ve ever experienced,” Miller said. “Hopefully this weekend will be more of the same.”
Forward Jesse Perry held a similar sentiment after last year’s thrilling one-point win where the Wildcats used the crowd to open the game on a 9-2 run.
“I’ve never played in a game like this before, with the type of crowd,” Perry said.
But not only does the electric environment make the match a good time for players and fans alike, it also shows recruits the type of games they could be playing in if they choose to come to Arizona.
Junior forward Kevin Parrom said players like Josiah Turner, Nick Johnson and Angelo Chol all came to Arizona to play in big games in a sold-out McKale Center — the Pac-12 arena with the second-highest capacity.
Miller also recognized the lasting impact that a game under a national spotlight can have.
“We have a national audience, we have some important people in the stands,” he said.
More than just a game
Mike SchmitzDa ily WilDca t
Arizona, UW take spotlight
Head coach Sean Miller doesn’t want the Arizona men’s basketball team to make the same mistake twice.
“You can’t go from a Thursday night game and say ‘When’s the next game?’” Miller said. “There’s a process in place when the game ends to the next game begins and you have to do a great job as a team really honoring that process.”
Miller referenced the Wildcats’ loss in McKale Center to Oregon two weeks ago during a hyped, nationally televised contest, the closest thing to what the Wildcats will face Saturday against Washington at 5 p.m.
“To me, in our last home stand in a late-Thursday night game, we didn’t do a good enough job leading up to the jump ball and we got what we deserved against a very good Oregon team,” Miller said.
The Wildcats (14-5, 5-3 Pac-12) are halfway through a weekend that junior forward Kevin Parrom called a “must sweep” on Twitter, and the Huskies (11-9, 3-5) will face the hos-tile White Out environment for the second time in two years on Saturday when Arizona hosts ESPN’s College GameDay. But with a win against Washington State already secured, Arizona has to go back to step one.
“I think it just restarts all over again. Go in with the same mentality in practice tomorrow,” junior forward Solomon Hill said. “Try to execute the game plan for Washington.”
The Huskies are tied for the Pac-12 Conference lead and bring an offense ranked second in the conference be-hind only Oregon State. The Wildcats will have to work to stop second-chance points for Washington, who is the conference’s leading offensive rebounding team.
Miller has had the team focused on improving offense as well as main-taining defense but he said Arizona’s first step would be putting an empha-sis on preparation for Washington, if the Wildcats want to make this their first conference weekend sweep.
“We have to be ready,” Miller said. “Our preparation is the name of the game right now.”
Indicative of many of the games the Wildcats played in this season, Saturday’s contest with Washington should be closely contested. The last two times Arizona faced the Huskies, the game came down to the final pos-session, once with former Wildcat Derrick Williams’ block and the other with former Husky Isaiah Thomas’ buzzer-beater 3-pointer to send the Huskies to the NCAA Tournament.
This weekend, with a whiteout at-mosphere and Arizona’s own tourna-ment hopes on the line, senior Kyle Fogg said the Wildcats wouldn’t back down from the challenge.
“We all came to Arizona to play in big games like this against great competition,” Fogg said. “We’re really excited to have another big one on Saturday.”

to Alexandra Larned, a front desk assistant at the Think Tank, free services include drop-in tutoring, weekly course reviews and help from the writing center. While tutoring and weekly reviews are course-specific and directed toward general education high-risk courses for the most part, the writing center will help with any writing, she said.
“Our writing center is for any course. So if you’re taking a 400-level class that’s major specific and you’re writing a paper, you can come in for that,” Larned said. “You can also come in to get help with a thesis or a per-sonal writing project.”
Fee-based services at the Think Tank include one-on-one tutoring, exam reviews, and Graduate School Test Prep, said Larned. One-on-one tutoring at the Think Tank costs $20 per hour, or $100 for six hours.
Adjacent to the Circle K on Sixth Street and Cherry Avenue is a small tutoring business called Campus Tutoring, LLC. The tutoring center, co-owned by Jim Vogel and Jim Puckett, opened 18 years ago. Campus
Tutoring provides one-on-one tutoring for $30 an hour and three-hour group review sessions for test prepara-tion for $25.
The company currently has four tutors, including the co-owners. They specialize mostly in math-based subjects like economics, statistics and business. Tutor-ing for UA business classes has been successful in im-proving students’ grades, Vogel and Puckett said.
“If we didn’t do well, we wouldn’t be busy,” Puckett said.It’s not just students who struggle with school who
seek extra help, but also students who want to improve their grades from a “B” to an “A,” Vogel said.
“There’s a difference between teaching and tutor-ing,” Vogel said. “In tutoring, you have to make sure they understand it.”
Puckett said a tutor has to personalize their teaching and make sure the student understands the material.
Students have found that being tutored and tu-toring others can impact grades, but despite the re-sources available, time management continues to be a problem.
“I should really stop procrastinating,” Nguyen said, “but I think that’s like everyone’s ideal goal that can never be reached.”
UA scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of arsenic in human toenails and the lev-els in drinking water.
The study is motivated partly by research that re-vealed a high concentration of arsenic in water in Bangladesh, China and Taiwan. The water sources in these places contain high levels of arsenic and using this water every day has provenit be carcinogenic and associated with skin lesions and circulatory diseases, said Miranda Loh, assistant professor in the Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health and the study’s principal investigator.
In Bangladesh, China and Taiwan, the exposure to arsenic is natural and inherent in the geology of the areas. In Arizona, however, much of the arsenic comes from mine tailings, which are materials left over after valuable minerals are extracted from the mine’s ore.
The United States Environmental Protection Agen-cy has set the arsenic standard for drinking water at
10 parts per billion. Communities surrounding the Iron King Mine in Dewey-Humboldt, Ariz., are suf-fering from high levels of arsenic exposure and their water is testing well beyond 10 parts per billion, said Todd Camenisch, associate professor of pharmacol-ogy and toxicology.
“If you go up there, it looks like a Martian land-scape. It’s so red and rusty from the tailings,” Cam-enisch said.
Mine tailings are superfine, sugar-like granules, Camenisch said. They are mobilized by wind, which forces people to breathe them in. Rain also mobilizes toxins, allowing them to seep down into water table sources and contaminate drinking water.
Despite Arizona’s concerns about arsenic in drink-ing water, studying the relationship between arsenic in the human body and in drinking water is complicated by people’s usage of water filters and bottled water.
Although it’s expected that the amounts of arsenic in drinking water and the arsenic in toenails will be related, there is a chance that there may be no rela-tionship if people are treating their water or getting it from other sources, Loh said. If the relationship is positive, she added, the next step is to suggest treat-ment of the ground water in order to reduce its levels of arsenic.

Following the presentation, student workers at Ca-reer Services gave feedback and suggested how to in-terest students in learning how to improve their online reputations.
“I feel like it’s something students should go over before entering college, because a lot of things that happen in college and a lot of the things students are involved with aren’t always seen in the best light,” said finance junior Sarah Thompson .
The greatest benefit of improving one’s online repu-tation is to help secure a job after college, Thompson said. She suggested that Career Services get involved, establish workshops and provide statistics from jobs, as well as have an employer speak to students about the use of social networking sites in screening poten-tial employees.
“There are so many wonderful things that students do while they’re here that don’t come through on a resume,” Bates said. “But, you can make them available
online so when an employer Googles you, they will be able to see good things about you.”

disk in the last 20 years,“ Swetnam said. “In addi-tion to this, we are going to have samples from the world’s oldest tree that are almost 5,000 years old.”
Swetnam also said the new building will provide the Tree-Ring Lab a chance to expand and host more researchers. And even though the building has not been completed, it has already helped the
department secure external grant funding from the National Science Foundation , he said.
“As soon as the building is constructed, we will have several new scientists coming from Cornell Uni-versity to do research with us on tree-rings and ar-cheology,” Swetnam said.
People who are interested in the building pro-cess can watch a live stream of the construction site on the UA’s Planning, Design and Construction website.

A public workshop held on Thursday sought to collect feedback about how to improve pedestrian and bicycling safety both on and around campus.
The University of Arizona Area Bicycle and Pedestrian Study , ini-tiated earlier this spring, is a col-laborative project between Parking and Transportation Services, Pima Association of Governments and Alta Planning and Design , a nation-wide organization that specializes in improving community bicycling and walking conditions. The study’s focus area includes a large radius around the university.
The purpose of the study is to make these alternative forms of transporta-tion safer and has outlined five major objectives: Reduce the risk of colli-sions with pedestrians and bicyclists, make improvements to the existing infrastructure, define bicycling and walking paths, develop education programs to encourage more people to ride and bike to campus and cre-ate clear implementation strategies to continue improvements.
“We think we do a pretty good job with bicycles and pedestrians on cam-pus right now, but we know we could do better,” said PTS Director David Heineking. “That’s the idea of this. If we take the average person who drives their car to campus and lives a couple miles away, what obstacles are there that keep that person from either walk-ing or riding their bike to campus?”
Heineking said there are things PTS can do, like make it more con-venient, easier and safer for people to ride their bike or walk to campus.
Rory Renfro , an Alta Planning and Design senior planner, said Alta serves as a consultant for the proj-ect, and the organization has worked with the UA on past projects like the Cat Wheels Bike Sharing Program . Alta will provide ideas regarding in-frastructure, such as which corridors and routes are best for bike paths, as well as other technical solutions like how to fund the project.
The research phase of the proj-ect will end in March, followed by a design phase. Certain aspects of the project may take a number of years to complete, Renfro said.
Many of the workshop’s attendees were people who regularly ride and walk to campus already and are most likely to be impacted by the project. Some said they were pleased to see that steps were being taken to refine the network throughout and around the university.
“I like hearing that the campus com-munity and the City of Tucson is mak-ing improvements, is looking at where we’re at now, and looking to see how we can improve things for pedestrians and cyclists,” said Joyce Orcutt , an ac-counting associate for PTS who regu-larly uses alternative transportation.
Dan Majewski , a recent graduate in regional development, who rides his bike often, also said he is glad that there are plans to make further improvements.
“My bike is my car, it’s the only way I get around,” Majewski said. “So, these are all issues that I deal with on a daily basis; issues of car conflicts and, especially on campus, bike-pedestrian conflicts. As a pe-destrian and as a bicyclist, I see is-sues all the time.”
Those who don’t ride to campus on a regular basis but live near the UA were also interested in the study.
“I think it’s great, and I think it’s really helpful to have an agency like Alta Plan-ning come in and share their expertise,” said Emily Yetman , a Tucson resident who lives within blocks of the universi-ty. “In them doing this, it brings together a lot of different people to have a con-versation about what needs to change, and I think that’s really important.”
With the overall goal in mind to get more people walking and cy-cling to, around and on campus, Heineking said there are a number of benefits to making it a reality.
“It’s good for everybody,” he said. “It’s good for the environment, it’s good for the person who is riding their bike or walking, it prevents traffic conges-tion and it’s just a better overall route.”

Difficulty Level 1/27
Play begins at noon on both days at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.
W-Tennis goes countryThe Arizona women’s tennis team
will travel to Nashville, Tenn., this week-end to play two top-25 NCAA Division I teams.
The Wildcats find themselves with a guaranteed match against No. 17 Vanderbilt on Saturday. This will be the first time the teams meet in the spring season.
Depending on the outcome of the match against Vanderbilt, Arizona will either play No. 23 Alabama or No. 15 Texas on Sunday.
With all three teams being outside the Pac-12 Conference, the Wildcats “don’t know much about how the teams work together or play, which poses a chal-lenge,” head coach Vicky Maes said.
According to Maes, the only top-25 teams Arizona consistently matches up against are in the Pac-12.
All eight girls will be traveling to the tournament, but there are only six sin-gles matches and three doubles match-es. This means one player will sit out of the lineup entirely and two players will be short-changed on their playing time.
Even though Arizona is the underdog of this tournament, Maes believes the team is “strong in every position,” leav-ing the Wildcats with one goal in mind: Pull off some upsets.
“It is a good weekend for us to truly test our ability as a team,” Maes said.
Seniors take final lap SaturdayThe Arizona swim and dive team has 14 swimmers
and divers that will partake in their last home meet 11 a.m. Saturday at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center.
The Wildcats are taking on arguably their toughest competition of the season in the Texas Longhorns, who boast the No. 2 men’s team and a No. 4 women’s team. In a move that may change the complexity of the meet, head coach Eric Hansen took away Arizona’s top three events.
“We’re going to go the old traditional format, which a lot of the kids have never done,” Hansen said. “It’s going to be good, because there will be this level of success at the NCAAs (championships in March). I think it’s going to be a great indicator of how hard we’re willing to fight.”
Arizona has already faced the Longhorns in Texas, shortly before winter break. The Wildcats won 12 of 18 events, flexing their power against who was at that time the top-ranked team in the country.
“Texas was the highlight, both men’s and women’s,” Hansen said. “It was our first shave meet with the entire college team, we kind of hit a home run there.”
The Wildcats believe they can win again, and are not afraid to admit it.
“Win or lose, doesn’t really matter to us, of course we want to keep our undefeated season alive, and think we have enough talent on this team,” senior Austen Thomp-son said. “This is by far one of the best and most talented teams I’ve ever seen, and what I’d say is the best teams in the country.”
— Cameron Moon
Track heads to elite meetArizona is pulling out all the stops for this weekend’s
track meet at Arkansas.Wildcats preparing for the Olympic trials this sum-
mer will only compete in a selection of collegiate meets to prevent overuse, and head coach Fred Harvey pegged the Arkansas as one of the season’s most important.
“We really only need our top athletes to compete in four or five meets to reach our ultimate goals by the end of the season in NCAAs,” Harvey said. “Arkansas is one of those meets.”
This is the first event of the track season that has a number of the nation’s top programs in attendance. Among the elite programs that will face off at the Razor-back Invitational on Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark., are Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Baylor.
“This is arguably the best team collegiate competi-tion,” Harvey said. “The fitness level is very high. What we learned last year was to understand how to compete at the highest level when it counts.”
It doesn’t happen often that all events are present at one meet. Arizona will pose a threat for the nation’s best in most, if not all, track events.
“We have all been training very hard,” junior thrower Julie Labonte said. “It’s the first meet of the season for a lot of us and I really think we’re ready.”
— Emi Komiya Arizona also has a 6-foot-6, 235-pound forward in the form of Solomon Hill who can take the ball to the basket, knock down a shot from outside and anything in between. Last night Hill scored 12 straight points for the Wildcats dur-ing a second-half streak against the Cougars.
Then there’s the national stage that Arizona basketball is going to be on.
For about 12 hours on Saturday, Tucson is going to be the center of the college basketball world, starting at 8 a.m. and finishing when 14,000 white-clad fans are leaving McKale Center.
That’s a stage that the Wildcats and third-year coach Sean Miller have had a boatload of success on — advancing to last year’s Elite Eight and winning nationally televised games against UCLA, Washington and Oregon.
playing its best basketball of the sea-son. As Miller said, the Wildcats are a cold-shooting night away from being tied atop the conference.
“There’s such a fine line between a few plays with where we’re at, and where we could be,” Miller said.
With a young team that’s making strides in about every game it plays, what’s not to like about Arizona’s chances of catching fire while the rest of the conference sits idly by?
Last year, the Washington game was the culmination of an eight-win streak that vaulted the Wildcats to the top of the conference — at least until they came crashing down in Southern California.
This year there’s a chance that welcoming the Washington schools into McKale Center could play almost the exact opposite role in Arizona’s season — acting as a launching point instead of a landing zone.
Stranger things have happened, haven’t they?
— Alex Williams is the sports editor. He can be reached at
in the span of 66 seconds. First, he shoved the Cougars’ Brock Motum. The second came when Washington State came out of a timeout. Despite his ejection, the freshman was the spark coming out of halftime, scoring Arizona’s first six points and then assisting on Jesse Perry’s dunk to give the Wildcats an 18-point lead just two minutes into the second period. Turner finished the game with nine points and four assists in 20 minutes.
The ejection was Arizona’s third in three weeks. Kyryl Natyazhko was ejected against Oregon State on Jan. 12, and Hill was ejected last week against Utah.
Once Turner was sent to the locker room, Hill took over Arizona’s offensive run and scored Arizona’s next 12 points. Although cold in the first half, Hill finished the game with a double double of 17 points and 11 rebounds.
Senior Brendon Lavender also added 14 points in 12 minutes.
The Wildcats had significant improvements in ball control against WSU, matching their nine turnovers with nine steals. Miller called the game the Wildcats’ best start-to-finish outing of the season.
“We moved the ball about as well as we have all season tonight,” Miller said.
Arizona also bounced back from a 3-for-20 3-point shooting percentage against Colorado with a 15-for-26 effort on Thursday. The Wildcats seemed much more comfortable taking the 3-pointer and finished the game with a higher clip from beyond the arc than they had at the free throw line.
“We’ve had those nights where the ball hasn’t gone in,” Miller said. “We’re much better than 3-for-20 and it was good to see guys shoot the ball with lots of confidence.
“We had a lot of the same shots we had against Colo-rado,” he continued.”They went in this time.”
