UA revives minor in journalism A new immigration rule has raised questions on the UA campus regarding its overall benefit for undocumented immigrants. Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security issued a new rule on immigration that will allow undocumented immigrants who are relatives of a U.S. citizen to apply for an unlawful presence waiver while still in the U.S. The new rule, which goes into effect on March 4, is aimed at reducing the amount of time that a person applying for a waiver has to spend away from their family. “Almost all of those laws sound better than what they really work out to be but at least it is not a step backward,” said Anna Ochoa O’Leary, assistant professor of Mexican American Studies. O’Leary’s research focuses on migration and immigration. According to O’Leary, many eligible undocumented individuals may not try to take advantage of this new rule out of fear and will wait to see what happens to people who have already taken advantage of the new rule. To be eligible, an undocumented immigrant has to have an immediate family member who is a U.S. citizen, and they must prove that separation from the family member would cause “extreme hardship.” Once the waiver is approved, the undocumented immigrant must return to their country of origin to finish the rest of the process to obtain a visa for reentry into the U.S. The waiver is meant to prevent them from being barred from entering the U.S. due to time spent in the country illegally.

Patricia Mejia, who works with the UA Immigration Law clinic and a local immigration attorney, says proving extreme hardship can be very difficult. Mejia said that a person would have to be severely or terminally ill in order to prove the hardship requirement. Although some see the benefits of the rule, there are questions on the overall impact. “The benefits [of the new rule] would be that it is going to help a group of people who are living here illegally and hopefully potentially get them status,” Mejia said, “but it leaves out millions more without any solution in sight.” JOURNALISM, 2 Experts doubt impact of immigration waiver Students will have the opportunity once again to declare journalism as a minor as it was reinstated after being dropped in 2003.

UA revives minor in journalism

Goals should be simple, study says
A UA professor is focusing on her past research to help with a new study regarding goal setting.
Lisa Ordonez, a professor of management and organizations, is working on a new study that looks more closely at the ethics of reaching goals. Her article, which will be published in the Academy of Management Journal later this year, will delve into the reasoning behind the use of unethical behavior to attain success and how it can be stopped.
Her new article will stem directly from the information she found in a previous study, which suggests that overly specific goals can lead to degraded performance and unethical behavior. This article was one of the first to suggest that setting goals may not be an “almighty” way to improve motivation and yield of employees, but actually a damaging crutch to overall performance.
In 2009, Ordonez collaborated with business professors from the University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern University and Harvard to write “Goals Gone Wild: The Systematic Side Effects of Over-Prescribing Goal Setting,” where she questions the effectiveness and benefits of goal setting in management.
The side effects of goal setting include a narrowed focus, causing the neglect of non-goal related areas, loss of organization, reduced motivation and a high likelihood of risky and unethical behavior, as stated in the article. The solution to reduce these side effects are laid out by the authors who suggest rather than treating a goal like a basic stimulus it needs to be carefully supervised and the goal setter should be mindful of potential side effects.
Although her previous publication focused solely on goal setting from a management perspective, Ordonez emphasized that the same problems occur with all goal setting, including personal ambitions and academics.
The professors propose that goal setting is not only a simple motivator, but also a dynamic process that needs careful preparation and observation.
“The biggest goal for a UA student is getting a job, right?” Ordonez asked. “But if you are so focused on getting a job, you might not take those interesting classes that would have led you to your career.”
Ordonez said the professors acknowledge and accept the power and influence of goal setting in business, specifically on employee behavior and performance, but argue that the benefits of goal setting have been overstated throughout history and the harms have been majorly ignored.
“It’s not that we are saying don’t use goals, just think it through first,” Ordonez said.
“Goals Gone Wild” uses the metaphor of prescription drugs, explaining that in the past, goals were treated like a “benign, over-the-counter treatment for motivation.” Therefore, now, in order to make the practice of goal setting more successful, “managers and scholars need to conceptualize goal setting as a prescription-strength medication that requires careful dosing, consideration of harmful side effects, and close supervision,” according to the paper.
Some students agree that goal setting is more complex and that setting overly specific goals could prove unhelpful.
“If you get too specific with a goal it could detract from the rest of your life,” said Lucy Randazzo, a freshman studying English. “If your goal is too specific or too broad it won’t be successful.”
However, other students believe a good balance and use of goals could help in achieving success.
“It’s just important that students balance,” said Kate Hickey, a junior studying English and Gender and Women’s studies. “You have to do stuff now rather than later in order to get the stuff you want later.”

What goals have you set for this semester and the beginning of this year?
“To be happy with what I do, that’s all. To learn how to be happy and
learn to love what I have.” — Lara Pinoy, a linguistics
graduate student
“My big New Year’s resolution is to go to bed early every night. I decided I just wanted to keep it simple this year.”
— Susan Brudos, homeschooling parent
“I want to get better grades this year and go to all my classes. Maybe work out more. I don’t know, I don’t really have any big goals, just small ones.”
— Sarah Marie Shine, communications sophomore
“Improve my grades, get a better GPA, pass all my classes. Get in better shape, be more friendly, get more people to know me, do good on my job, basic stuff. I could say get married but it’s way too soon for that.”
— Emilio Garcia, psychology junior
“I want to meet more people because I’m from Tucson, so I haven’t really tried to meet new people because I already know a lot of people here. But I end up doing the same things every week, so I want to change that.”
— Jennifer Mendoza, pre-physiology freshman

Student app creators look to unify social networking sites
Two UA students are experiencing recent success following the launch of a social media application over winter break.
Michael Jacobs, a business management senior and CEO of SociaLink, and his partner, CFO Hector Rosales, a junior studying finance, business economics and French, opened their iPhone-exclusive, free application to the public on Dec. 19, 2012. Since then, more than 1,000 people have downloaded SociaLink, which connects all profiles of a person’s social media to one account for easy access.
Social media networking outlets for the app currently include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. Jacobs explained that to begin, one would open up the app on their phone and log into all their social network profiles. From there the app will find phones nearby that are open on the app.
“If you would only like to add someone on Facebook and LinkedIn only,” Jacobs said, “then you would click those and turn them on, press connect and it would send a friend request for both of them.”
SociaLink has had more than 10 articles so far with positive reviews, usually four out of five stars or above, Jacobs said. As far as changes, Jacobs explained that a new version would be coming out within the next few days for minor bug fixes. In terms of expanding, the duo was looking to include more social media networks to the app.
A challenge for the app to
overcome is marketing and gaining users, Jacobs said.
“I don’t think we have slept much in the last couple weeks,” Jacobs said. “But that’s not because we don’t want to sleep, it’s because we are excited.”
Sending emails and tweets to all the editors and people interested in the app industry are just some of the things that consume their time explained Rosales.
“We have an article in under30ceo.com coming out,” Jacobs said. “Entrepreneur magazine has contacted us. We have a couple really big names; Wall Street Journal has contacted us as well.”
The app is open to users worldwide and Rosales said
that there was a recent spike in users from Italy and users were tweeting to them about the app.
The two have a coding team based in India, but the idea was Jacobs’ and Rosales’. According to Rosales, the time difference works in their favor with the two wrapping up their day and sending an email to the team in India, whose day is just beginning, with what they want done and vice versa.
“This isn’t something that just happened,” Jacobs said. “This has been something that we really put the time and the effort and all of our energy into just to get to the release phase. What people don’t realize is the fact that this is just stage one.”

synthesize it, figure out what’s important and then communicate effectively — those are skills that everybody wants.”
Betsy Bolding, a UA alumna from the School of Journalism, said she agrees with Cuillier and that journalism skills are what people need to write a memo or make a proposal.
“I worked for Governor Babbitt in the late ’70s to mid-’80s,” Bolding said. “And a staff person’s memo can be very, very influential if it’s well-written and well-presented. Elected officials rely on research a lot to make recommendations.”
An informational meeting will be held on Jan. 15 from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Marshall Building, room 311, for students who are interested in the minor.
Community Chatter
from one to four, as stated in the study’s procedure. The results of the study showed that the subjects
who were instructed to post more status updates than they normally would reported a decrease in loneliness. Researchers concluded that status updating can reduce loneliness, and this decrease in loneliness was due to “the participants feeling more connected to their friends on a daily basis” when updating their status, as specified in the publication.
“I thought it would be the opposite because you have, like, virtual friends instead of actual friends,” said Lisa Foessel, a pre-computer science freshman.
Surprisingly, the researchers also found that the number of responses to status updates had no effect on the subjects’ feelings of loneliness. When asked why this may be Mehl gave two hypotheses: that people “simply assumed that their status updates
will be read,” or that people use status updates to ultimately connect with friends in the real world by using them to “skip the small talk at the beginning of a conversation and jump right to more substantive subjects.”
Even with this evidence of the benefits of social networking some UA students are still skeptical.
“It’s kind of weird that you think you’re more popular just by putting yourself out there on a social network,” said Casey White, an ecology and evolutionary biology freshman. “I don’t really see how that makes sense. I think it’s almost the opposite of being popular, truly.”
The scholars said their research is just the beginning of the science behind social networking, but are confident in its results and the possibilities it has to inspire further studies.
“For me, this is first optimistic evidence that Facebook does not drive us all into loneliness,” Mehl said. “Facebook can be used in meaningful ways for creating a sense of social integration and connection.”
One of the best things about the start of a new semester is figuring out all the activities you can do outside of class. Every semester, the School of Music offers an amazing selection of events and concerts with discounted prices for students, and spring 2013 is no exception. Here are five of the Daily Wildcat’s most anticipated happenings in the School of Music.
“Part Monk, Part Rascal” — Jan. 30, 7:30 p.m., Crowder Hall
Start the year off right with this piano recital dedicated to the works of the great 20th century composer Francis Poulenc.
Renowned both for his lighthearted work with Les Six earlier in his career and his late-career religious compositions, “Part Monk, Part Rascal” aims to paint a comprehensive picture of Poulenc’s enigmatic legacy. The task of bringing Poulenc’s works to life falls on School of Music faculty artist John Milbauer, who also plans to perform a selection from Manuel M. Ponce’s “Mazurcas,” along with the Poulenc material.
An Evening of Love Songs — Feb. 1, 7:30 p.m., Westin La Paloma Resort
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the UA Studio Jazz Ensemble will be coming together to perform several popular love songs with a variety of singers from across Southern Arizona.
Song selections are expected to vary, but the event will undoubtedly be a romantic evening for anyone looking for something to do on a Friday night. Better yet, the special event will be using its proceeds to benefit the UA jazz program and Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance’s education programs, ensuring that merely attending will be a good cause in itself.
The John Denman Memorial Concert: “Benny Lives!” — March 8, 7:30 p.m., Crowder Hall
Jan. 16 will mark the 75th anniversary of conductor and
clarinetist Benny Goodman’s legendary 1938 Carnegie Hall concert, a show credited by many as the apex of the swing era in the public consciousness.
To commemorate Goodman’s inimitable impact on popular music, conductor Frank Guldseth and Tucson Swings will pay tribute to the Carnegie Hall show with their own unforgettable night of swing. Few artists are more deserving of a tribute like this, so “Benny Lives!” is not to be missed.
David Russell, guitar — April 6 and 7, Holsclaw Hall
April at the School of Music will be off to a rousing start with two performances by David Russell, a Grammy Award-winning classical guitarist whose album, Aire Latino, won for Best Instrumental Soloist
Performance without an orchestra. Apart from the clear achievement
of winning a Grammy, Russell’s brand of classical guitar is sure to inspire anyone remotely interested in the instrument, classical music fans and metalheads alike.
La Clemenza di Tito by Mozart — April 11 and 14, Crowder Hall
After last semester’s excellent run of Verdi’s “La Traviata,” UA Opera Theater is back this spring with performances of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s penultimate opera.
Set in the political sphere of first-century Rome, “La Clemenza di Tito” will no doubt be as expertly staged as “La Traviata,” with the UA’s premiere opera singers looking to close out the semester on a high note.

7-generation circus comes into town
The Zoppé Family Circus returned to Tucson this past weekend for its second year, hosted by UApresents at Reid Park. UApresents invited the circus back to add culture to Tucson, said Darsen Campbell, marketing and publicity manager for UApresents.
There were nine performances and students could get into the event for only $15 with a CatCard.
The Zoppé family has been performing this circus the same way for 170 years. Napoline Zoppé started performaning in 1842 in Venice, Italy. Napoline Zoppé’s great-grandson, Alberto Zoppé, brought the circus to the United States when he was asked to be in a show by John Ringling North. Giovanni Zoppé has since carried on the tradition performing with his mother, two sisters and their husbands.
“We’re not like other circuses where it’s one act after the other. We tell a story during our show
— the story of our family, seven generations,” Zoppé told UApresents.
This one-ring circus, despite being small, came fully equipped with trapeze artists, a tightrope walker, horses, two clowns, and even some performances using fire.
Besides being the owner and producer, Zoppé is also one of the clowns, Nino. Zoppé said that Nino is his alter ego.
“Or Giovanni is his alter ego, that’s a better way to put it,” Zoppé said.
Campbell said the tent only holds about 500 people. On Saturday, the show was sold out.
Spectator Lisa Sieglaff said she used to go to the big circuses like Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey, and that she really enjoyed taking her kids.
Attendee Ross Reisinger, who had come with his wife and two children, said they went to the Zoppé Family Circus last year as well. He said overall, it’s a well put-together show.
“Everything this circus did is the way a circus is supposed to be,” Zoppé said.

Well, it seems that the Mayans must have struggled in Math 101
because December 2012 has come and passed and the world seems to be doing (relatively) fine. With the new year now in full swing, it’s time to make good on those ambitious midnight resolutions before this year’s promises become next year’s regrets.
Maybe you’ve vowed to shed a few pounds, (without the temptation of Ding-Dongs, Ho-Ho’s, and Twinkies, this might be do-able this year) or perhaps arriving on time to class is your lofty goal of 2013. As we all have figured out by this point, keeping to a resolution is easier said than done, and requires a ton of commitment, but for those of you ambitious enough to take on one more, how
about making 2013 your year to get more involved on campus? To me, there is no better way to do this than by becoming a part of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona.
ASUA offers UA students the opportunity to make impactful decisions, work on important projects and gain extremely valuable experiences in leadership, teamwork and more. And with more than 100 students participating in ASUA, it’s also a great way to meet other people who are driven, motivated and want to leave behind a lasting legacy on the UA campus.
Currently, ASUA is holding elections for ASUA president, executive vice president, administrative vice president and 10 ASUA senators. Running in an ASUA election is an experience in itself. Being a candidate allows
you to put your ideas out there and commit to making changes for the better on campus. You’ll work hard, meet tons of new people — and who knows, maybe you’ll win. Then, you would get the entire next year to work on a project that is important to you and that could really improve our school.
Members of ASUA work each year to bring you programs such as ZonaZoo, Safe Ride, Spring Fling and so much more. Students that become a part of ASUA also have unique opportunities to interact with university staff members to work on policy changes, program implementation and other important projects.
Come to the ASUA office on the third floor of the Student Union Memorial Center and you will see a group of students who are truly committed to making their mark on the UA. Nobody, not even the
people in ASUA, thinks that this place is perfect. It takes students that are committed to making changes for us to work toward improving. Why not be a part of that group next year?
So if you are already bowing out of finishing P90X, or if you are finding yourself cheating on your diet, procrastinating on your school work and not calling your parents more often, why not switch it up and resolve to make a difference?
Pick up a packet from the front desk in the ASUA offices and run for an elected position. If the spotlight is not for you then find a friend, tell them all of your good ideas, convince them to pick up a packet and become their campaign manager.

Downtown not worth UA time and money
The downtown area of any city is often its heart. From preserving artifacts in museums to offering visitor
information describing how life once was, a “downtown” in any city invokes nostalgia, allowing tourists to reconnect with an area’s past.
Sometime between becoming a Spanish outpost and the launch of the Rio Nuevo project, downtown Tucson became the epitome of sketchy. It’s not just because some of the buildings look as if they were transported from a minefield. Downtown Tucson also has its share of vacant buildings, graffiti galore and vagrants homesteading on the Joel D. Valdez Main Library lawn.
This isn’t exactly the vision you want to present to wayfarers, government officials or venture capitalists. Downtown Tucson is a haunting image.
Last week’s town hall meeting with J.C. Mutchler, chair of the Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee, and Andrew Comrie , UA interim provost and vice president of academic affairs, discussed the future of the UA’s strategic plan.
Currently, the plan strives to “expand student experience, advance knowledge through creative inquiry and collaboration, and to forge novel connections that will impact our community.” With regards to increasing the number of UA students who stay in Tucson, topics ranged from offering more internship opportunities for university students to providing more “hands-on” projects in classes.
In particular, the Downtown Tucson Partnership may successfully contribute to the execution of this strategic plan, which could potentially lead to a resurrection of downtown Tucson. At the meeting, it was mentioned that one way to launch the plan in this direction would be to offer a UA degree plan downtown.
A degree plan in downtown Tucson? Really? Native Tucsonans know better than anyone that no matter what restoration projects have been launched, the downtown sector remains, for the most part, unsuitable in a variety of ways.
Here’s the problem: In theory, a degree plan focused on downtown Tucson sounds like a great way to integrate the floundering, historic district of Tucson with the thriving, university community. In reality, the project, like all others before it, will be unsustainable. Soon after its introduction, a downtown degree plan will transform into another unending cycle, a bottomless money pit. This time, however, the project would be dependent upon the UA for resources.
Just a few years ago, the Downtown Tucson Partnership spearheaded a Tucson “First Night” celebration. “First Night” was designed to be the inexpensive, family-friendly, community alternative to hardcore partying for ringing in the New Year. The program turned out to be a flop and died by 2010. Likewise, the Rio Nuevo project has been racked with scandal and accomplished very little for Southern Arizona.
I’m all for finding a way to make downtown Tucson something residents are not ashamed of, a place they actually want to show off, but pumping money into downtown via college students and the UA is not realistic. The idea of a restored downtown Tucson has no trouble attracting advocates, but the neighborhood has been unable to successfully retain businesses and customers. The majority of people normally go downtown for specific reasons, such as to watch performances or take care of legal matters.
The UA needs to think very carefully and have a definitive plan of action before it decides to participate in any projects involving the bottomless money pit that is downtown Tucson.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat undergoes changes every semester, including new staff and editors, new policies
and new goals. Last semester, we were working on our
social media presence. Like any professional newspaper, we needed to modify how we produce the news since paper circulation is on the decline and digital news is on the rise.
This semester, new digital media editor Casey Lewandrowski has many ideas on how to make the Daily Wildcat more accessible and connect with its digital audience. We reworked our website and encouraged our reporters to use Twitter and Facebook more. Casey is also exploring ways to expand our social media presence to sites like Instagram
and Tumblr. This endeavor isn’t just about building the Wildcat’s social media presence or its brand — it’s about establishing and maintaining connections to our audience.
Last semester, the editors decided to stop producing a regular Arts and Life section and created what is now known as Wildcat Weekend. The content within Wildcat Weekend was mainly arts and sports, but it was a section that often came under criticism.
We took our comments and yours, and we met each week to make adjustments and work out the kinks. But we still have a long way to go.
For example, we noticed that much of the entertainment suggested in Wildcat Weekend required access to Fourth Avenue or downtown. We wrote a lot about bars or places that target a 21 and older audience, and we weren’t representing a whole other fraction of Arts and Life readers. Plenty of our readers aren’t 21, or aren’t interested in the bar scene all the time, and they were often neglected. We hope to change that.
Arts and Life editor K.C. Libman has returned to the position for a second semester, and has said he hopes to refocus content on
what’s happening on the UA campus — not just near it.
In addition, we’ve expanded the arts section to the daily paper as opposed to just Mondays and Fridays for more complete coverage.
As the new readers’ representative, I want to ensure the Wildcat continues to be transparent and that I keep readers informed of our plans. Our newsroom staff of about 75 caters to 40,000 students plus staff and faculty. We know interacting with a number this large is difficult, but through social media and our dedication to thorough and representative coverage, we hope to continue making the Wildcat a publication worth reading.
As a student publication, we often work by trial and error. We value constructive criticism and we want to hear your suggestions.
We seek to produce a professional and informative paper, and that means looking to improve every day.

Wanted: Fresh ideas from ASUA
Starting today, applications for the ASUA elected positions will be released and Greek life members and political science
majors will begin clamoring for your vote. For anyone who doesn’t know, ASUA is the
Associated Students of the University of Arizona. ASUA has nothing to do with ASU (apart from a few collaborative projects) despite what the name indicates. Caught up? OK.
Roughly 10 percent of students votes in the election. The majority of voters are from Greek Life — not all of them, since Greek Life is only 13 percent of the student population, but you get what I’m saying. There’s a reason candidates campaign at the fraternities and sororities.
Ten percent of the population isn’t really
enough to choose the people who will control our policies for the next year. Granted, it’s the voters’ fault for being too lazy to actually vote, because there is only so much ASUA can do, but 10 percent is pretty damn lousy.
A few candidates this year will probably tell you the same thing. They want to make ASUA more accessible, bring Spring Fling back to campus from Rillito Downs, which was supposed to happen in this year based on a plan by former ASUA President Emily Fritze, and other minor tasks that never really end up helping students much.
Perhaps I’m cynical because these past few years we’ve been in a slump. It isn’t an easy task to be one of 10 ASUA senators representing the entire student body. The expectations that the Arizona Daily Wildcat puts on ASUA are tough, but that’s only because we’ve seen such amazing things from our student government in the past.
ZonaZoo, the largest student section in the Pac-12, was a senate project, as was Safe Ride, the transportation service that brings accessibility to students. ASUA has brought us great concerts, great Homecomings and great
programs. Yes, it screwed up with the Jay-Z concert in 2009, which cost $1 million, but we all make mistakes.
In a couple of weeks, the ASUA candidates will spread out on the Mall with catchy signs and free T-shirts. You may ignore them because they’ll seem like those annoying people you try to avoid, but take a moment to listen to their ideas. These are the people who are attempting to represent you, not just another person trying to get you to read the Bible.
This year, let’s hold all of the candidates to a higher standard. Don’t vote for them because they’re your friends, or they’re in Greek Life, or because they handed you a cool T-shirt on the Mall; vote for them because they have great ideas that will actually help the student population.
Maybe this year, a person with great ideas won’t be buried because he or she didn’t have the Greek vote and didn’t want to skip class to campaign on the Mall.

The lights were off and nobody was home
A non-UA affiliated man was taken to University Medical Center for exhibiting signs of bath salt or synthetic marijuana use at 1:31 a.m. on Jan. 9.
The man was initially seen by a University of Arizona Police Department officer near a bike rack on Speedway Boulevard and Cherry Avenue, slumped over. When the officer approached, the man gave no indication of hearing the officer. The cop then noted an odor of intoxicants on the man’s breath and called the Tucson Fire Department for evaluation.
The man was not carrying identification. According to the report, the man said he was OK but then his body began to spasm. The man was later identified at the hospital.
Rules of stateA UA student was arrested on charges of possession of
marijuana and drug paraphernalia at Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall at 11:09 p.m. on Jan. 9.
UAPD arrived at the dorm in response to a report about the smell of marijuana in a fifth floor hallway. When two officers arrived at the scene, they were unable to locate the source. A door in the hallway then opened, emitting a strong odor of the substance, and police asked to enter the room.
“I could see in plain view a green leafy substance that appeared to be marijuana,” one of the officers noted in the report.
While entering the room, the officer felt the door jam, due to a rolled-up towel behind the door. The four occupants present were each identified with their driver’s licenses. One occupant showed UAPD a California medical marijuana card, to which the officer told him it doesn’t permit him to possess marijuana on campus.
The student with the medical marijuana card claimed ownership of the marijuana, in addition to a large black water pipe and two grinders. The items were then placed into evidence and the student was cited and released for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Off balanceTwo UA students were cited for underage person with
spirituous liquor in body near the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center at 1:37 a.m. on Jan. 9.
A UAPD officer first noticed the two women while they were walking, when one of them stumbled before almost falling to the ground. the other woman helped her balance. The officer then approached the students to check up on them. He noticed a strong smell of intoxicants. Additionally, both had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes, but neither woman said she was of age to drink when asked by the officer. The woman who had previously almost fallen continued to show difficulty maintaining her balance.
The women said they’d been at an off-campus house party where alcohol was provided, but didn’t reveal any names or an address. Both students were referred to the dean of students office for underage drinking.
I’m not sure I subscribe to the “getting a loss out of the way is good in the long run” theory, but if we learned anything from Thursday’s 70-66 loss to Oregon or an 80-70 win on Saturday against Oregon State, it’s that Arizona will at least have a chance to win every game.
Now, the Wildcats struggled against the Ducks, and they didn’t look like the fourth-best team in the country. For much of the game, Arizona didn’t even look like the fourth-best team in the Pac-12.
Oregon exploited the Wildcats’ biggest, glaring weaknesses — breaking a zone defense, defending the long ball — but it also showed how dangerous Arizona might be
come March.Today, Arizona will drop from its
No. 4 ranking, probably as far as No. 8 or 9, and that’s fine. In reality, the Wildcats weren’t the fourth-best team in the nation. But they might be soon as we inch closer to the Pac-12 and NCAA tournaments.
Solomon Hill and Nick Johnson are consistent, safe and the surest bets on Arizona’s roster, and Kevin Parrom is close behind.
Mark Lyons might take a few ill-advised shots, and turn the ball over a bit much from the point guard position, but his scoring prowess and clutch free throw shooting might be the biggest reason Arizona started 14-0 in the first place.
Lyons, Johnson, Parrom and Hill are the Wildcats’ team leaders, but Arizona’s chances of going deep
into March rests on the shoulders of its three youngest players.
No more evident than in the two-game Oregon road trip, Grant Jerrett, Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski will be the difference makers for this year’s squad.
Last year, Arizona struggled because of a lack of height.
That’s not the only reason the Wildcats didn’t make the NCAA tournament for the second time in three years, but starting a 6-foot-7 Jesse Perry at center often put the UA at an inherent disadvantage down low.
That’s changing with the emergence of the Wildcats’ talented young trio, despite their struggles Thursday night.
They combined to shoot 3-of-13 with seven points and 11 rebounds.
More than the other two, growing pains were expected for the 7-foot Tarczewski. As head coach Sean Miller has said, developing 7-footers is not an overnight process.
He has shown flashes of what he can do, and he’s easily the Wildcats’ best rebounder. If he can figure
it out, and maybe not hold onto the ball so long, he gives Arizona a weapon not many teams can employ.
Jerrett and Ashley in particular have struggled lately.
Against Utah on Jan. 5, Miller benched Ashley for much of the second half because of some defensive struggles he said “any fan could see.”
But the 6-foot-8 Ashley has shown an impressive scoring ability. He’s had 10 games of nine points or more and is shooting an impressive 56.4 percent from the field, but he also had six games of three points or less and turns the ball over a bit too much.
Entering the Oregon State game, though, Jerrett scored zero points against Oregon, zero against Utah and one against San Diego State — a 10-point effort against Colorado notwithstanding.
If Jerrett could utilize his length (he has a 7-foot-2 wingspan), and work from the inside out instead of the other way around to capitalize on his shooting ability, Arizona will be better for it.
Against Oregon State on Saturday, Hill made five three-pointers, Parrom two, Lyons had 16 points and five assists, while Johnson added 14 points, six rebounds and five assists of his own.
But, stellar play from the freshmen — less Tarczewski, more Jerrett and Ashley — was the key to Arizona’s first double-digit victory since a 19-point win against Miami on Dec. 23.
Ashley, who was benched in favor of Parrom against Oregon, returned to the starting lineup and made an efficient 6-of-8 shots, scored 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
Jerrett only scored eight points, but hit two three-pointers, had five rebounds and swatted six shots.
Keep an eye on the progression of Ashley, Jerrett and Tarczewski because if their progression keeps in the right direction, Arizona might be a force to be reckoned with.

Arizona high jumper Brigetta Barrett has had arguably one of the best collegiate track and field careers in school history.
She has won two consecutive NCAA indoor and outdoor championships.
She’s a three-time NCAA indoor and outdoor All-American.
Not to mention she cleared a personal-best jump of 6-foot-8-inches to win a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics.
So what does Barrett want to accomplish her last season of collegiate competition?
“Live in the moment and enjoy everything as it comes,” Barrett said. “My goal is to give it to God, to get out there and give it my best.”
Last week, Barrett was named to the 2013 Bowerman Preseason Watch List. Last year, she was named a finalist for the Bowerman Award.
It’s safe to say that all eyes are going to be on Barrett this season to see how much she can achieve.
“Greatness is intimidating,” Barrett said. “The most intimidating part is finding out how great I am.”
Although the expectations are high for Barrett, head coach Fred Harvey says that they’re realistic.
“She’s done a lot of great things to this point, but from a training age standpoint, she is very young,” Harvey said. “We know she can jump, obviously; she’s a silver medalist.”
What Harvey said he does expect from Barrett this season is to continue building strength and unity within the team.
Senior hurdler Georganne Moline said she felt the same strength and unity.
To Moline, Barrett was more than a teammate, she was a fan. While they both competed at the London Olympics, Barrett offered words of encouragement to Moline.
“She always gives off a positive vibe,” Moline said. “It’s contagious. It makes you get excited about what you’re doing.”
This vibe could be felt in the locker room by other teammates, according to Moline.
“She has these little talks before we compete sometimes,” Moline said. “You’ll see people, nodding their heads, really into what she’s saying. They take what she says into respect.”
There are many seemingly daunting tasks ahead of Barrett this season: winning indoor/outdoor NCAA championships, setting indoor/outdoor NCAA records and of course, winning the Bowerman Award.
But Barrett said she isn’t worried. She hopes this season will be the cherry on top of an already great collegiate career.
“I know that I have broken all the barriers that could have existed at this time in my life,” Barrett said. “Now it’s time to go forward without looking back.”

’Cats score 100 in rout of Ducks
PHoto coUrtesy oF ArizonA AtHletics ArizonA toPPeD 100 Points for the first time this season against the Ducks. The women’s basketball team won 100-68 in McKale Center.
The Arizona women’s basketball team (10-5, 2-2 Pac-12) defeated the Oregon Ducks (2-14, 0-4) Sunday afternoon in McKale Center 100-68.
It is the second time in two years the Wildcats have scored 100 points against the Ducks, and comes just two days after a 57-48 loss at home to the Oregon State Beavers.
“It feels a lot better than it did on Friday,” Arizona head coach Niya Butts said after the game. “I couldn’t be happier with our effort.”
Junior forward Alli Gloyd led all Wildcats with 17 points and also grabbed nine rebounds.
For the second consecutive game, the Wildcats were without one of their top scorers in junior guard Kama Griffitts, who has missed the past two games for personal reasons but is expected to return next week at Utah.
Griffitts’ replacement in the starting rotation, sophomore guard Layana White, had a career game with 16 points. Junior guard Carissa Crutchfield also had a career game with her first double double. Crutchfield had 13 points to go along with her 11 assists.
“After the loss on Friday, I felt we needed more energy,” White said. “It was team effort.”
The first half of Sunday’s game was a stark contrast from Friday’s slow start against the Beavers. Arizona scored early and often Sunday afternoon and set the tempo for the remainder of the game.
The Wildcats connected on five of their first nine shots, all of which were three-pointers. At the first media timeout, Arizona led 17-9. The Wildcats trailed 24-22 at halftime on Friday.
With 13:34 left in the first half, the Wildcats surpassed Friday’s 22-halftime point total when senior captain Davellyn Whyte sunk the team’s seventh three-pointer and pushed the lead to 24-12.
There was an abundance of three-pointers in the first half. Arizona didn’t score a two-point field goal until 12 minutes into the game, but still was leading 32-17 at the time.
“The energy level that we needed was there,” Whyte said, referring to the first half. “
“[Oregon’s] tempo played into our favor and they played zone and we hit our shots.”
The Wildcats entered the game averaging 65.3 points per game. At the half, Arizona led 55-34, well on pace to beat their average.
Arizona wasn’t as successful in the second half. The Wildcats were out-rebounded and turned the ball over nine times. However, they still continued to pile it on the Ducks with a high shooting percentage from inside.
The Wildcats only made one three-pointer in the second half compared to the 11 they made in the first. Also unlike the first half, Arizona got production from lesser-known Wildcats, such as freshman point guard Keyahndra Cannon, who finished with a career-high 14 points.
“We didn’t play a perfect game by any means,” Butts said. “We turned it over nine times in the second half and got bullied on the boards.”
The Wildcats scored their 100th point off a jumper by freshman forward Shereen Sutherland with 39 seconds left in the game. Arizona will look to build off this win as they prepare for their longest road trip of the season, starting Friday at Utah.
“Right now we’re going to enjoy the win,” Butts said. “And then Tuesday we’re right back at it. Hopefully next week we can have a performance like we had today.”

With his 2013 recruiting class finished for the most part, Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez is looking ahead to 2014.
He’s off to a pretty good start.On Saturday, Rodriguez received a
verbal commitment from Salpointe Catholic receiver Cameron Denson, one of the top prospects in the state. He is also the first recruit from Tucson that Rodriguez has signed in his short tenure.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound receiver had scholarship offers from Arizona State, Colorado, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon State, UCLA, Utah and Washington.
Denson is rated as the eighth-best receiver in the 2014 class and a four-star prospect, according to Scout.com. He’s also rated the 51st-best prospect in the nation, which, if that holds up, would make him the highest-rated prospect in Rodriguez’s UA tenure as well.
Denson is considered a top-notch athlete, and after starting the season as receiver for Salpointe he was pressed into quarterback duty when the starter went down with an injury.
He finished his junior year with 408 passing yards and three touchdowns, 1,026 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns and another 585 yards receiving on 37 receptions. Denson also played some defense at cornerback and recorded two interceptions.
247Sports rates Denson the sixth-best junior cornerback in the nation. He is Rodriguez’s first 2014 commit.
The 2013 UA recruiting class has 27 commits, and is led by four-star cornerback Derek Babiash, quarterback Anu Solomon and running back Pierre Cormier. Junior college transfer quarterback Jesse Scroggins, formerly at USC, is expected to challenge B.J. Denker for the starting position under center.

Football adds Tucson recruit
The Arizona gymnastics team hosted its first quad meet and placed second on Saturday with a score of 195.85 against Illinois, San Jose State and Stanford. The outcome left Arizona .175 away from Stanford’s victorious score of 196.025.
Although No. 6 Stanford is known to be a gymnastic powerhouse, it did not prove to be an intimidating factor for the No. 19 Wildcats, who came off a third-place position last week. The Wildcats were off their game in the first event but ended strong.
Arizona started off the evening with vault, where the tricks looked a little shaky. The Wildcats were flying off the mat, and those who usually excel in the vault faltered.
“You can’t let down your guard, especially against someone like Stanford,” Arizona coach Bill Ryden said. “Had we vaulted, we would have beaten them. We can play with the big boys, I’m not afraid of that, but you can’t do it if you aren’t going to be there on every event.”
Although Arizona struggled to stick its landings, it placed second overall in vault with 48.650. Stanford placed first with 49.000 followed by Illinois in third and San Jose State in fourth.
The Wildcats made some improvement moving into bars, where all but one gymnast shined. Aubree Cristello and Lexi Mills tied their personal bests with marks of
9.875 and 9.775, respectively. Wildcat Jordan Williams fell on her bar routine for the second week in a row. Despite the minor mishap, Arizona posted a 49.100, but once again came in second to Stanford’s 49.325 posting.
Cristello pulled through again for Arizona when she placed first on the balance beam with 9.900, her personal best. Shelby Edwards, who was cleared the day before the meet from a serious injury, had a personal best of 9.725, while sophomore Allison Flores tied her personal
best of 9.700.The final event is where the
competitive drive seemed to come alive for Arizona. The team earned a 49.400, which placed them into the books as the 10th best floor performance in program history and first place in floor for the meet.
Flores started off floor to tie her personal best of 9.800 and Shana Sangston followed by matching her score. The next three who followed, Williams, Molly Quirk and Kristin
Klarenbach all scored personal bests. Cristello matched Klarenbach’s 9.925 score, which tied them both for first in floor.
Cristello dominated the meet posting an all-around score of 39.475, tying her personal best. She was followed by Illinois’ Allina Weinstein with 39.175 and Stanford’s Ashley Morgan with 39.125.
Looking ahead to next weekend, Arizona will take their positive stride to Denton, Texas where it will compete against Texas Women’s, BYU and Wisconsin-Whitewater on Saturday at 7 p.m.
We can play with the big boys, I’m not afraid of that, but you can’t do it if you aren’t going to be there on every event.

Gymnastics places second
Arizona hockey’s second game against No. 10 Liberty featured fights and comebacks, but still no UA win.
No. 18 Arizona (13-11) lost 7-5 to the Flames (16-10-1), including an empty net goal.
“We battled hard today,” head coach Sean Hogan said.
UA overcame deficits twice, from 3-1 to 3-3 and from 4-3 to 5-4 and senior forward Brian Slugocki tallied a hat trick.
“I’m not happy,” Slugocki said. “Our team played our hearts out and we got screwed over by the refs. It’s 100 percent what happened. We battled for 60 minutes and had some calls that shouldn’t have happened, but you have to look forward and we just have to win Thursday.”
The Wildcats lost their fourth game in a row, were swept for the second week in a row and haven’t beaten a Division I team since mid-November,
but the game was much different than the last three. Against No. 4 Minot State, Arizona blew two-goal leads twice and in game one against Liberty, blew a three-goal lead.
“We were down 3-1, not playing well and we battled all the way back to tie it,” Hogan said. “We’re not giving up, our guys aren’t giving up, we have the last spot at the national tournament right now, so we got to keep grinding.”
UA scored first, at the 11:40 mark, with a goal from junior forward Eric Watters. Junior forward Jeff Wadhams and freshman defenseman Nick Hinsberg got assists on the play.
Liberty scored three goals in a row in the first though, the first a minute after the Wildcats, then at the 7:07 mark and at 4:45.
In the second, UA battled back, starting with the biggest fight at home of the year. The ruckus sent three Flames and two Wildcats to the penalty box.
Then on the resulting power play,
Slugocki scored at 10:26, assisted by junior defenseman Michael Basist.
“You have to do it, there’s nothing really to say about it,” Slugocki said about battling back. “You just have to do it.”
The second intermission started with an even bigger fight, involving all the players including Hinsburg who left the penalty box to join. The only ones not involved in the fight were the goalies.
“The fights and stuff like that, those things happen, it’s hockey,” Hogan said. “People that aren’t used to hockey might not know what that means. We don’t condone it, but that’s what happens.”
After the dust cleared, two players, including sophomore defenseman Matt Nowicki, were ejected, three 10-minute penalties were assessed and Liberty got a five-on-three power play. The Flames capitalized on the two-man advantage to score.
Then, with 15:25 left, sophomore forward Justin Gaudino scored,
assisted by freshman forward Mike Adamowicz.
Two minutes later, Slugocki earned the hat trick.
“I could have scored seven goals, but we still lost,” Slugocki said.
“That’s all that matters and I just hope in the future we can get a better result.”
The Wildcats return to action Thursday, when they host No. 17 Central Oklahoma.

How do you build ahealthy relationship?
Q
A. Great question! Building a healthyrelationship is probably one of life’s biggest challenges, but the rewards are both defining and enduring. Clearly, there is no one way to make a relationshipwork, but they do share some commonelements. We’ve all heard that trust andcommunication are essential, but the realkey is finding everyday ways to establishand reinforce these connections with yourpartner. Think about how you convey yourappreciation for each other in small acts –you may be surprised by how much they say.
A good relationship isn’t always a bowl of cherries, nor is it predictably easy.Disagreements are inevitable, so learningto effectively address and resolve conflict is as important as sharing in the goodtimes. And speaking of sharing, rememberthat interaction is a two way street thatrequires both individuals to contribute. Give and take should refer to your sense of compromise, not the roles you adopt
in the relationship.
Also, try to keep things realistic with plenty of humor. Relationships that thrive tend to be based on down-to-earthexpectations, not fairy tale myths. Yourfriend or significant other may not alwaysbe able to read your mind, fulfill yourdreams or constantly make you happy.
Research tells us that having healthyrelationships, both amorous and platonic,is good for our health. People withmeaningful partnerships tend to havebetter support networks, which enrich our lives, and may even help us live longer.Unfortunately, technological and socialchanges may be expanding our contactswhile shrinking the number of people wecan actually confide in and count on.So if you are looking for a greatNew Year’s resolution for 2013,take a chance and make a newfriend or ask someone out!
