Ending a perfect record at home, the women’s basketball team lost 82-74 to Southeastern Louisiana on Wednesday night at Texas Hall.
It was the first time since the 2000-01 season that the Lions (15-9, 7-4) won in Arlington.
Down by 10 with 7:12 to play, UTA (15-9, 9-2) switched from a 3-2 zone to a full-court press and went on a 13-3 run, tying the game 68-68 with 3:59 remaining.
Despite costly fouls, the Mavs found themselves down only two with 1:30 left in the game.
Led by senior forward Kristy Carlin, who contributed with a ca-reer-high 25 points and added nine rebounds, the Lions shot 49.1 per-cent from the field.
Carlin stole the ball on the Mav-erick inbound pass and then nailed a three-pointer, putting the Lions up by five and up for good.
“We had a horrible practice Monday and a horrible practice Tuesday,” Mavs head coach Saman-tha Morrow said. “We preached and preached to them it was going to bite them, and it did.”
UTA was out rebounded 41-28, securing only seven offensive re-bounds.
Southeastern Louisiana domi-nated the boards on both sides of the court, grabbing 17 offensive re-bounds and 24 defensive, the Lions out-performed the Mavericks all night.
For the first time this year at home in conference play, the Mavs did not have the lead at half time. With four seconds remaining, the Lions dribbled the ball the length of court, scored with no time on the clock, tying the game 32-32.
The game was back-and-forth all night due to the referees calling 54 fouls. Each team entered the double bonus penalty in both halves.
Senior forward Candice Cham-
pion had another double-double tonight — her 11th of the season — but her 19 points were not enough.
“We had a game plan, we just didn’t stick to it, plain and simple,” Champion said.
The Lions’ head coach Lori Davis Jones said she was proud for the girls to get a win against the confer-ence’s top team.
“Well, any time you go on the road in this conference and get a win, that’s huge,” she said. “We hadn’t had success in Arlington ever, since I have been coaching here.”
These two teams will not see each other again in the remaining three weeks of conference play. But both teams are at the top of their division, and could very well meet up in the conference tournament in Katy.
UTA will have a chance to bounce back against Central Ar-kansas at 3 p.m. Saturday in Con-way, Ark.
With the Southland Conference Indoor Championships starting this weekend in Houston, the UTA men’s and women’s track teams hope to build on last weekend’s success at the Texas A&M Invitational.
In College Station, against some of the top-ranked programs in the country, the men’s team ran, jumped and threw its way to 36 points, which was good enough for eighth place.
Assistant track coach Bran-don Berger said he knew the competition would be tough, but thinks going against the best improves both teams.
“It gets them used to running fast and pushing hard,” he said. “We’re able to get more out of them than we might at a lower-level meet, and it’s a good tune-up to get them ready to run fast this weekend.”
Coaches expect success in Houston for freshman Corede-ro Gray and sophomore Jarid Vaughan, sprinters who finished sixth and seventh respectively in the 60-meter dash in College Station.
Vaughan is favored to win the con-ference 200-meters dash after posting a time of 21.52 last week, good enough for eighth place.
Junior pole vaulter Wade Hayes, reigning indoor conference champion, enters the meet as the clear favorite to repeat.
Berger hopes all the athletes perform as expected, because he predicts it will be a close race with UTSA for the over-all team championship.
“They are the two-time repeat cham-pions, so the momentum is in their favor, but we’re hungry and we want another ring, so we have a good shot.”
The women’s team was less success-ful at last week’s invita-tional, finishing 17th.
Although the women’s team didn’t have the collec-tive performance it want-ed, the 4 x 400-meter relay team of Antonia Hopkins, Clarissa Toomer, Megan Turner, and Brittany Cul-bertson broke a 15-year-old school record posting a time of 3:45.98.
The previous mark of 3:48.37 was set in 1994 by the team of Tara Ford, Brenna odell, roselyn Shanklin and Gwen Clardy.
Sophomore sprinter Jasmine Walls finished second in both the 60-me-ters and 200-meter dash in
last year’s championships and is one of the favorites going into this weekend’s meet.
The Southland Conference Indoor Championship lasts all day this Friday and Saturday at Yoeman Fieldhouse in Houston.

Why I work here:“Working here allows me to put experience on my resume related to my � eld of study while still being able to have time to dedicate to my academics.

was more bland than a rice cake. At the half, the Wildcats had only amassed 166 yards of total offense and 67 of those came on one play, a career-long touchdown jaunt by running back Keola Antolin.
The second half didn’t get much better. Foles and his offense failed to reach the end zone and sat idly by as ASU began steadily erasing its deficit until, once again, Arizona found itself in a situation all too familiar. Arizona’s defense, which had been dominant all day long, was wavering, and the Wildcats found themselves on the brink of losing a game that at one point was all but won.
But then came Arizona’s saving grace, the only part of the Wildcats’ team that had played and performed well nearly all game long — special teams.
The unit had already accounted for 10 of Arizona’s 17 points. Kicker Alex Zendejas had gone one for two in field goal attempts — one was blocked — and special teamer Orlando Vargas had blocked an ASU punt and scooped up the loose ball for the Wildcats’ second score. Minus Antolin’s big run in the first quarter, the special teams provided the rest of Arizona’s scoring.
“It’s good to come out here and have special teams be such a big part of the win,” Vargas said. “We come out every game and want to do something big. Not necessarily a punt return or block, just something good. And that’s all we wanted to come out and do today.”
It came as a fitting end that the game’s defining play, a muffed punt return by ASU’s Kyle Williams, came on a special teams effort. There would be no offensive touchdown to end the game. Stoops played to set up the field goal, to let the players on his team that had the most success get the opportunity to seal the win.
The biggest responsibility was given to Zendejas, whose season has been littered with inconsistency. The sophomore came into the game 15 of 19 on field goal attempts and had given the coaching staff reason not to depend on his leg. But in a game where the special teams unit dominated, it was only right that the Territorial Cup was won by the same group.
“Every kick, you never know,” said special teams coordinator Jeff Hammerschmidt. “I’m just really proud of Alex. I’ve always had confidence in him and it’s great to have him get that opportunity.”
After the game, little media attention was given to Foles or even Antolin, the game’s MVP. The stars were Zendejas, Vargas and Mike Turner, who recovered Williams’ botched punt.
The players appeared to soak it in — like they should — because for a special teamer, these days don’t come around too often.

The date is Oct. 28, 2007, and the ASU football team is ranked No. 4 in the Bowl Championship Series standings. A couple of weeks later, ASU defeated Arizona 20-17 in Tempe, crushing the Wildcats’ hopes for the program’s first bowl appearance in nine years and putting them in sixth place in the Pacific 10 Conference.
The win for ASU clinched a co-Pac-10 Conference title with USC, and the Sun Devils moved on to lose to Texas in the Holiday Bowl.
With head coach Dennis Erickson bringing in top recruits in his first year and quarterback Rudy Carpenter returning for his senior season, the future looked bright for the football team in Tempe.
Flash forward to Saturday, where Arizona knocked off ASU 20-17 at Sun Devil Stadium.
“That was fun,” Stoops said after the win. “It’s a lot dif-ferent than it was two years ago, that’s for sure. I think (ASU fans) were throwing stuff on me for other reasons then, it might have been our fans too.”
The home team left the field dejected after its last game of the year, while the Wildcats gained a shot at playing in the Holiday Bowl.
Since ASU’s 2007 campaign in which it won 10 games, it has totaled a combined nine wins in two years, and with the loss to Arizona, the Sun Devils have to deal with their first consecutive losing seasons since 1946-1947.
It seems, for now, that the two programs have taken 180-degree turns from two years ago.
But what exactly caused the sudden change in direction?For starters, it began before Erickson even got to Tempe,
when former ASU coach Dirk Koetter left the program. The coaching change caused then-Sun Devil recruit Nick Foles to commit to play quarterback at Michigan State,
and ultimately end up in Tucson.Inconsistency at quarterback has plagued ASU ever
since the beginning of last season, primarily this year, when the Sun Devils shuffled through three different starters at the position.
Foles has given Arizona a legitimate starting quar-terback for the next two seasons, showing how the hard work by coaches in the off-season has turned the program around.
“Our coaches do a great job of recruiting kids,” senior Terrell Turner said. “We’re getting guys in and getting guys developed with our strength and conditioning and our academics and things like that.”
Arizona coaches have also changed the attitude of the players, forcing them to work for their success while do-ing their jobs at practice every day. This makes a game like Saturday taste that much sweeter.
“Even if you take a summer job and work for a Pinto, that’s better than getting a (Mercedes) Benz,” Turner ex-plained. “You’ll take care of that Pinto like it’s your last. I’ll remember this season so much because we’ve come so far in the past three years that we’ve been here.
“Anything that you work for and have success in feels much better than anything that’s been given to you,” he added.
In a heated rivalry like the one these two programs share, there is always plenty of trash talking to go around.
For now, the Wildcats will look to continue about their business quietly, avoiding what senior safety Cam Nelson sees as karma.
“(ASU) did a lot of stuff, a lot of talking and things like that. I think it came back and haunted them for the most part,” Nelson said.
“We don’t wish anything bad upon anybody because they’re still a good team,” Nelson added. “They’ve just had a lot of unfortunate endings like we have … that’s why we try and keep quiet and just play and let things happen.”
Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily WildcatArizona receiver Terrell Turner rises to his feet before ASU safety Ryan McFoy received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in Saturday’s game. Arizona’s victory against the Sun Devils shows the arrival of Wildcat football as the premier NCAA team in the state of Arizona.
Role reversalUA no longer looking up to their rivals from Tempe
The Arizona volleyball team has clinched a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005 after completing its Pacific 10 Conference season this weekend.
The No. 19 Wildcats (19-10, 8-10 Pac-10) will face off against Texas A&M on Friday in Baton Rouge, La. Tulane and Louisiana State University, the host school, fill out the bracket in the first round of tournament action.
“I’ve always said there’s three dif-ferent seasons throughout the year,” head coach Dave Rubio said. “There’s the non-conference season, the con-ference season and the postseason. Everything you do throughout the year is in preparation for what you’re going to face in the postseason.”
Rubio and the Wildcats have tradition-ally fared well in the tournament, posting a 22-12 record in twelve previous trips.
Arizona is one of eight Pac-10 teams that were selected to participate in postseason action. Along with UCLA, Washington, California, USC, Oregon, Washington State and conference winner Stanford, Arizona will look to represent the rich volleyball Pac-10 with success.
The Wildcats began the year coming off a difficult snub at the end of the end of the 2008 season, when they did not receive an invitation from the selections committee. Arizona then proceeded to go 12-0 in non-conference games, vault-ing the team into the national rankings.
“I’m certainly excited and proud of the team. It’s been a lot of hard work to get back there, especially in our conference,” said Rubio. “There have been quite a lot of sacrifices on everyone’s part to get us back to where we were, and we’re ex-cited to move on to the tournament.”
As the non-conference opponents faded away, Arizona was faced with the high level of competition in the Pac-10. Although getting swept in Los Angeles this weekend did not provide Arizona with the end it had hoped for, the Wildcats still walked away with a ticket to the tournament.
Rubio and the Wildcats will face the Aggies at 5 p.m. CT on Dec. 4. Should they advance past Texas A&M, Arizona will play on Saturday, Dec. 5, at 7:30 p.m. CT.
“It’s the teams that can play to their potential and can play to their level during the tournament that are the teams that are going to go from round to round,” Rubio said. “We’re just going to do our thing.”
‘Cats swept in Los AngelesAlthough Sunday’s selection to the
NCAA Tournament was a day of cele-bration for the Wildcats, the weekend didn’t start on such a good note.
Arizona fell at the hands of both
No. 9 UCLA and No. 16 USC over the weekend in two matches that set the Wildcats at seventh place in the con-ference with a sub-par 8-10 record.
But for head coach Dave Rubio, the losses at the end of the seasons don’t necessarily inspire panic.
“I think we’re playing some of our best volleyball right now,” Rubio said. “It’s a product of a process we’ve been going through the last several months.”
On Friday, Arizona must have had a turkey hangover. It dropped the match against the Bruins (23-8 13-5, Pac-10) 3-0 and never registered more than 17 points in a set during the match. The Wildcats’ attack struggled, and they were not able to get many hitters going early on. Al-though Tiffany Owens recorded another double-double on the season with 16 digs and 16 kills, three other hitters had negative attacking percentages.
The Bruins jumped out to early leads in each of the sets before going on large runs in their favor to run up the scoreboard.
“The UCLA game, we just didn’t play well at all. We played terrible,” Rubio said. “UCLA played very well and they completely took us out of our game.”
Although the next night’s match would end with the same result — a loss — Arizona’s style and fight was undeniably back.
The Wildcats played four sets in the match against USC (21-9, 10-8), but this time exhibited some of the best volleyball of the season.
“The following day we had a terrif-ic match against USC and that could have gone either way, but it was one of the best matches we played all year,” Rubio said. “I felt like we were really engaged and invested in that match. Even though we ended on a loss, I thought it was great for us to compete at that level and that hard.”
The Wildcats played four highly contested sets before falling 3-1 in the match. Both Owens and fellow junior outside hitter Whitney Dosty had more than 20 kills and each recorded double-doubles.
Arizona took the first set before fall-ing in game two 25-23. Game three not only went to extra points but went espe-cially high under the new scoring rules. The Wildcats dropped the set 36-34, but the competitive nature of the game kept them in the match mentally.
“It’s rare,” said Rubio of the high scoring in the third set. “It may be the highest point-scoring total for me, but it went back and forth.”
That set described the match in a nut-shell. Although they rallied and tied the score at various times during the game, the Wildcats were just never able to close out the set and get the upper hand.
“It was just one of those really terrif-ic volleyball games that, unfortunately, someone had to lose,” said Rubio.

the music was incorporated into the play.”
Hester, the main character, was an abortionist saving mon-ey to buy her son’s freedom. As a child, her son Monster stole food from First Lady, the may-or’s wife, and was incarcerated.
“Freedom ain’t free at all, freedom a heavy wage,” Canary Mary, Hester’s best friend, said.
The climax of the play oc-curs when Hester is told her son died while on a picnic with an-other prisoner, who she believes is her son.
Canary Mary tells Hester she is in contact with a man with an ugly scar – a scar that looks like one that resulted from Hester biting Monster and herself on the same arm as a way to rec-ognize him in the future. Hester doesn’t believe the man Canary Mary knows is her son because the man has committed evil acts, including pedophilia, rape, mur-der and sodomy.
“It is hard to be good when surrounded by so many that are bad,” Hester said.
The theme of class is intro-duced early when the Mayor openly cheats with Canary Mary because of his wife’s inability to have children. His mistress is poor, but his rich wife can’t give him what he desires most: a child.
“The play defi nitely con-veyed the class message,” Charles Railsback, undergrad-uate adviser of Department of Theatre and Drama, said.
First Lady has an affair with Monster and becomes pregnant, but everyone thinks the child is the mayor’s. Hester kills First Lady’s unborn child as the ul-timate revenge for sending her son to jail when he was young.
Hester and her son are reunit-ed at the end of the play when Monster runs into Hester’s house while being pursued by the Hunt-ers. Monster knows the Hunters are going to capture, torture and kill him, but he would rather be killed by his mother than by the hand of the Hunters.
“Well, I think the message in Suzan-Lori Parks’ plays is un-avoidable,” Edris Cooper-Ani-fowoshe , theater and drama as-sistant professor , said. “They did very well and it is not an easy style to get.”
With the First Lady’s inabil-ity to have children, Hester try-ing to buy her son’s freedom, First Lady becoming pregnant, Hester killing First Lady’s un-born child and then killing her own son, the play exemplifi es the full circle of life. Though humorous, the message of class and good versus evil was what had audience members talking.
“It was certainly a joy to see the play come to life,” sopho-more Matt Herndon said.

Ensemble of Artists member Andi Haynes thought the cho-reography was “absolutely fab-ulous.” She referred to a part in the show when the cast breaks out into a dance to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.”
“Really, I loved it,” she said. “It’s fun to watch them being crazy.”
Costume designer Toni Scroggins saw the show numer-ous times during rehearsals, and yet she thought this one was the funniest night she had seen. She credited the lively audience to making the show enjoyable.
“I’ve laughed harder tonight than I have in a long time,” she said.
Director Richard Perez cred-ited the success of the show to
the cast and their dedication.“They gave it 150 percent, re-
ally,” he said. “They went above and beyond their call of duty.”
The show not only had out-landish comedy combined with satire but it also had a moral les-son. The plot reveals that the reason the two tribes are fi ght-ing is because they were giv-en the drug “tootsey” by Dr. Di-abolique, who is plotting to take
over their planet by draining its titanium. Vespa and Cindi ex-pose his evil plot to sell the ti-tanium at rock-bottom prices to people on Earth. Upon discover-ing the truth, the two tribes are able to rekindle their friendship.
Perhaps Vespa De Amour said it best: “They may be canni-bals, and they may be sluts, but they’re no threat to your planet or mine.”

Former Masters' champion Trevor Immelman of South Africa helps 2009 Masters golf champion Angel Cabrera of Argentina with his Masters' green jacket Sunday at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga.
National had become too tough, too dull and far too quiet, the roars returned in a big way.
Mickelson tied a Masters re-cord with a 30 on the front nine to get into contention. Woods chased him around Amen Cor-ner, then caught him with three birdies in a four-hole stretch that captured the imagination of thou-sands of fans who stood a dozen deep in spots for a view.
But it ended with a thud.Mickelson lost his momentum
with a 9-iron into Rae’s Creek on the par-3 12th, and when he missed a 4-foot eagle putt and a 5-foot birdie putt down the stretch. He had to settle for a 67 that left him three shots behind.
Woods bogeyed the last two holes for a 68 to fi nish another shot back.
Then came the Main Event.Perry did not make a birdie
until his 20-foot putt on the 12th curled into the side of the cup. Campbell, playing in the group ahead, narrowly missed two ea-gle putts on the back nine to forge a brief share of the lead.
It looked like Perry had the green jacket buttoned up when he hit his tee shot to within a foot of the cup on the par-3 16th hole for a two-shot lead over Camp-bell and Cabrera, who made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 16th just to stay in the game.
From behind the 17th green, Perry’s chip was too fi rm and tumbled off the front of the green for a bogey. Then, he hit the big-gest tee shot of his life into the left bunker on the 18th, pulled his approach left of the green, and missed his 15-foot putt for par.
“I had a putt to win,” Perry said. “I’ve seen so many people make that putt. I hit it too easy. You’ve got to give that putt a run. How many chances do you have to win the Masters?”
If so, nominate him or her for the Provost Award for Excellence in Advising. It only takes a minute by completing a nominated format:

JMU is on the verge of seeing the publication and dissemi-nation of a calendar featuring female students posing in string bikinis. Unfortunately, the repercussions of The Girls of Madison are widely felt, if hard-ly acknowledged. ! e calendar stands as an example of the dis-torted message our society has come to believe as real. At the place in which a person’s mind should be most highly valued, a university, women are still being told that it is their bodies that matter.
! is calendar is a testament to the overwhelming emphasis our society places upon appearance. Even worse, it gives women a de" nition of beauty that is unre-alistic and extremely limited in its spectrum. It leads a woman to place her concentration on her outward appearance and de-emphasizes her mind; soci-ety is shallower and less content because of it. When women are told their worth is derived from their outward beauty, they are set up for failure. When, as always, this beauty type fades, so too, in her and society’s mind, does her value. ! e most troubling aspect
of the calendar does not lie in how much the women display, but rather in how little. ! e way in which these women’s bodies are shown reduces them to noth-ing more than that a body. In no way is the woman, as a person, conveyed; her values, thoughts, accomplishments and person-ality are completely neglected. ! is leads our society to believe that a woman’s body is the most valuable thing about her. In turn, this negates the incentive for women to seriously pursue their mind’s development. To put such emphasis on appear-ance deviates the emphasis that should be spent on self-devel-opment. The whole of society is therefore negatively a# ected when half of the population’s intellect is impeded.
! e title of the calendar, ! e Girls of Madison, has implica-tions as well. It states that the type of woman represented in this calendar is the type of woman attending this school. While at JMU this is, obvious-ly, somewhat true, it leaves the majority of the female popu-lation misrepresented. How is anyone to view the women who
attend JMU, if not by the glar-ing example we give them in this calendar, which speaks of how JMU women look, act and think? While it gives her credit for her body, viewers are left to imagine the unique thoughts and interesting dreams she may have. Where are her true pas-sions and talents? To give every woman only the title and repu-tation exhibited in the calendar is an enormous injustice to each of them.
The façade of using the cal-endar for charity would be comical if it weren’t deceptive. ! is charity reaps $% percent of the " nancial bene" t of exploit-ing and denigrating the women of Madison. The end does not justify the means; the idea of giving to charity is wonderful, but the method used outweighs the good that is accomplished.
! is calendar is an immense misrepresentation of the JMU female population and con-tinues the objectification of women; in doing so, it detracts from the University.
� % � � � � � # � " & � is a junior English major.
In the last few weeks, Americans have witnessed something never seen before in our history; the President of the United States has declared war on…a news network.
It’s nothing out of the ordinary for a president to complain about media treatment, every presi-dent since George Washington has done it. But what makes this instance unique is that Presi-dent Obama has speci" cally singled out the Fox
News Channel, and his administration seems totally committed to its marginalization and destruction.
To justify such an action, the White House has argued that Fox News operates as nothing more than “a wing of the Repub-lican Party,” pandering to
a demographic sliver of conservative ideologues, and thus it doesn’t behave “the way that legiti-mate news organizations behave”.
Unfortunately for the President though, the numbers don’t support those claims.
In the &' years of Fox News’ existence, it has become the dominant cable news channel. Fox beats CNN and MSNBC so thoroughly that, according to Nielson, Fox programming wins its time slot for almost every hour of every day both in terms of total viewers and those within the critically important adult demographic aged $( to ().
Last August, the Pew Research Center released a study showing that while '* percent of Fox News viewers are Republicans, '' percent are Demo-crats. By comparison, according to the same study, only &+ percent of CNN and MSNBC viewers are Republicans while (& percent and )( percent respectively are Democrats. ! is demonstrates that Fox maintains the broadest appeal across party lines among the three major cable news net-works, as Fox easily attracts more Democrats than CNN and MSNBC attract Republicans.
The White House argues their fight is solely against bias. But bias exists everywhere in the media; it’s a fact of life when reporting the news. ! e fact that administration o, cials are quick to accuse Fox News of bias for its conservative lean-ings, yet are unwilling to admit that any exists on liberal networks like MSNBC, reveals their posi-tion to be rife with intellectual dishonesty.
Instead, the true goal of the White House assault on Fox News can be summed up by only one word: control.
Of all the TV news networks, Fox has been the
toughest on the Obama administration. MSNBC, CNN and the network channels all clearly favored Obama to John McCain and, since the elec-tion, continue to give him favorable coverage. CNN even went so far as fact-checking “Satur-day Night Live” for a skit criticizing his lack of accomplishments.
However, Fox has consistently challenged the administration and has not shied away from investigating powerful " gures and organizations tied to Obama or the Democratic Party.
But what has really drawn the ire of the White House is that other news organizations have become more aggressive in covering the admin-istration’s actions after they were embarrassed by either missing or ignoring major stories that Fox uncovered, such as ACORN’s massive fraud and Van Jones’s radical history.
Administration o, cials have quickly warned other networks not to follow Fox’s lead and only report “important stories” in what amounts to a blatant attempt to scare reporters away from neg-ative coverage.
From an administration openly bragging that “very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn’t absolutely control” during the presidential campaign, the thought of the White House determining what constitutes an important story or a legitimate news network is a scary one indeed.
Americans don’t want to see journalists cheer-lead for elected officials. In fact, the very idea of the press obediently following government orders is an abomination to America’s founding principles.
! e reason we have a constitutional right to a press free to investigate and criticize the govern-ment is because our Founding Fathers knew that it would be impossible to prevent tyranny with-out it. To make that point, ! omas Je# erson once wrote that “our liberty cannot be guarded but by the freedom of the press, nor that be limited with-out danger of losing it”.
President Obama must understand that as President of the United States he is not immune from criticism, nor is he exempt from question-ing. His " ght with Fox News has introduced a new level of pettiness to the Presidency, demeaning both his office and the great men who served before him.
For the good of the country, the time has come for the President to grow up and end this dis-graceful " ght.
