The University of Arizona

Born on 40 acres of land donated by a saloon-keeper and two

gamblers, and funded by a $25,000 consolation prize in

Tucson’s competition for the Territorial capital, the University of

Arizona rose from the dusty floor of the desert in true Wild West

fashion. Nobody wanted it, and fewer believed it would last.

Fortunately, they were wrong, and the bet laid down by E.B.

Gifford, Ben C. Parker and W.S. “Billy” Read on Nov. 27, 1886, has

paid off into one of the finest research institutions in the world.

When the first 32 students hitched their cow ponies to posts

near the only building on campus in 1891, they began a tradition

that has now entered its third century. The hitching posts may be

gone, but “Old Main” remains as witness to the University’s growth

into a 355-acre Research I institution with 185 buildings, more than

33,000 students, and a faculty and staff of 12,000. The UA is the

largest employer in Pima County and the fourth-largest in Arizona

with a payroll of half a billion dollars. The UA offeres 325 degree

fields in 16 colleges and eight specialized schools.

It’s hard to believe that in the early days there were more

students in the preparatory department finishing the equivalent of

high school than there were University students. The number of

University graduates never reached more than 10 per year until a

decade of rapid expansion beginning in 1910, which saw the

Territory become a state and the small outpost in the Sonoran

Desert grow into a true educational institution.

Today, the University of Arizona is one of the top 20 research

universities in the nation and has played a part in groundbreaking

projects ranging from the exploration of Mars to the development of

new cancer treatments. UA’s observational, theoretical and space

astronomy programs are ranked No. 1 in the country by the National

Science Foundation (NSF) and recent U.S. News and World Report

rankings placed 17 of the school’s graduate programs among the

top 20 in the nation. In addition, the Nobel Prize, three Pulitzer Prizes

and a National Medal of Science have been bestowed upon

Arizona educators.

Not to be forgotten, the University’s

undergraduate programs continue to flourish. The

NSF considers Arizona to be one of the 10

universities that best integrates teaching and

research for undergraduates. The NASA-funded

space grant program pays undergraduates to

work in laboratories alongside faculty, and the

Undergraduate Biology Research Program

includes 43 departments, involves 200 faculty

sponsors and funds more than 100 undergradu-

ate researchers each summer.

UA’s top-notch programs develop top-

name graduates who have continued on to

success in their respective fields. The UA boasts

a laundry list of graduates who have significantly

impacted society. From the late U.S. Congress-

man Morris K. Udall to Joan Ganz Cooney,

founder of the Children’s Television Workshop, to

Emmy Award winning actor/comedian Garry

Shandling, UA graduates have made their mark on the world. Other

notable ex-Wildcats include Native American artist Fritz Scholder,

the late astronaut Richard Scobee, Arizona Supreme Court Justice

Stanley G. Feldman,August Busch III, the CEO of Anheuser-Busch,

Inc, Boston Globe Publisher Richard Gilman, and Broadcasters Dan

Hicks, Tom Tolbert, and Sean Elliott.

The UA also plays host to the world, with students represent-

ing all 50 states and 130 countries. Nearly a quarter of the student

body consists of under-represented racial and ethnic groups, and

the campus is located in one of the most diverse locations in the

country, with the influence of Native American and Mexican cultures

evident throughout the Tucson community.

The University of Arizona enters its third century of service with

a continued commitment to providing support to its undergraduate

population. Recently completed and current construction projects

are testaments to the fact that the UA is dedicated to continued

progress. The Integrated Learning Center, located underneath the

grass Mall in the middle of campus, provides a home base for

freshmen, with classrooms and offices for easier access to

faculty and staff. The new Student Union, completed in 2003,

embraces the ambience of the Southwest with shaded terraces

and open-air walkways, and provides numerous services such as

the bookstore, technology center and varied restaurants that serve

the UA community. A new SALT (Strategic Alternative Learning

Techniques) Center will enhance aid to students with learning

disabilities. The Eddie Lynch Athletics Pavilion, which debuted in

2002, includes a strength training center, medical services center,

and the Jim Click Hall of Champions — a museum to showcase

Arizona Athletics Heritage and Tradition.

This commitment to excellence ensures that the University of

Arizona will continue to grow from its auspicious beginnings as a

single-building outpost in the desert into a world-renowned center for

knowledge and research well into the next century.

Tucson, ArizonaLocated in the

heart of

Southern

Arizona,

Tucson is a city

of stunning

contrast and

diversity. From

the broad desert

valley of world-

famous saguaro

cacti to 9,000-foot mountain forests of pine trees and snow, the

city stands at a crossroads geographically and culturally.

A population of more than 750,000 sprawls along a valley

floor of some 20 miles

between mountain ranges to

the east and the west and is

nestled against the backdrop

of the Santa Catalina range to

the north. On any of the 350

days of sunshine per year, the

Santa Rita Mountains can be

seen some 65 miles to the

south between Arizona and

Mexico.

When the temperatures

rise in the desert, it’s just a 40-

minute drive to the top of Mt.

Lemmon, the southernmost ski resort in the United States. It is

possible in the late winter months to spend the morning on one

of the numerous golf courses in town before heading up the

mountain for some late-afternoon skiing. Outdoor activities are

the norm with hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails,

highlighted by Sabino Canyon which showcases the beauty of

the desert with river-guided trails leading into the mountains.

The Sonoran Desert provides a unique setting not to be

found anywhere else in the world. Far from the Saharan sand

dunes that most first-time visitors expect, the desert boasts a

wide range of wildlife and vegetation. An afternoon drive through

the Saguaro National Monument with its world-famous display of

saguaro cacti encapsulates the unique beauty of the area. It also

leads to the Sonoran Desert Museum, with its rich collection of

desert wildlife, and Old Tucson Studios, the filming site for many

famous old Westerns. For fans of the real Old West, though,

Tombstone is a simple two-hour drive from town.

In addition to its natural attractions, Tucson features a wide

range of cultural experiences. From the first Native American

inhabitants to the earliest Spanish settlers to the current winter

visitors, each group of people has left its mark on Tucson.

Native American, Mexican and American Southwest influences

are prevalent throughout the city. The Mission of San Xavier del

Bac, located on the outskirts of town, is one of the original

missions built by the Spanish missionaries, and the artist colonies

of Tubac and Bisbee are within a few hours drive.

Continuously settled for more than 12,000 years, Tucson has

grown from a small Native American village into one of the “Mega-

Trend” cities of the 21st century. It is a premier astronomy and

optics center in the world, an important health services center

and home to a renowned research institution in the University of

Arizona.

Tucson is a thriving metropolis that continues to grow by

thousands of residents each month, but it has held fast to its

small-town ambience. Locals gather at historic Fourth Avenue for

nighttime entertainment and shopping and the University con-

stantly holds the center of the city’s attention with its athletics and

cultural activities.

For those in search of a big-city

atmosphere, Phoenix is a two-hour

drive to the north and is home to NBA,

NFL, NHL and Major League Baseball

franchises. Further north lie in-state

geographical attractions like the Grand

Canyon and Lakes Powell and Mead,

and Las Vegas is only a seven-hour

road trip away. There may not be much

water in the desert, but when the

summer temperatures rise, Tucson is

just a half-day’s drive from the beaches

of the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of

California.

The nights are always cooler in the desert after a splendid

sunset or a mid-afternoon dousing from a summer monsoon.

That’s when Tucson’s

small-town attitude and

big-city potential reveal

themselves in the

nighttime entertainment.

From cultural events at

the UA’s Centennial Hall

or the Temple of Music

and Art, to the hot spots

on Fourth Avenue and

downtown, there is

something to engage

almost any interest.

The melding of the

city’s diverse influences

makes Tucson a prime

choice both as a vacation

spot and as a home. With

a population that includes college students, retirees and families

of all backgrounds, Tucson does have something for everyone.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA PAGE 269

The President of the University of ArizonaDr. Peter Likins

The University Administration

Dr. Peter Likins’ leadership

in six years has proven to be a

tremendous asset for the University

of Arizona.

Likins has received praise

in the past year for his progressive

approach to University restructuring

in the face of budget difficulties that

have plagued institutions of higher

learning nationwide. Too, he’s

established himself as an avid

supporter of UA athletics and a

thoughtful spokesman for the kinship

between a noted institution of higher education and its public

profile as displayed through top-level intercollegiate athletic

competition.

As a former student-athlete recognized by the national

Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Okla., in its Hall of Outstanding

Americans, Likins has a broad understanding of college athletics.

UA athletics director Jim Livengood frequently cites Likins’

leadership when speaking to all types of audiences.

“Dr. Likins has an understanding of so many aspects of

higher education that it’s impressive just to speak with him. I think

you can say we’re extremely confident in his ability to help

athletics flourish in all ways,” Livengood said.

Likins, the 18th president of The University of Arizona,

began his tenure Oct. 1, 1997. Prior to coming to the UA, Likins had

served as the 11th president of Lehigh University, in Bethlehem,

Pa., since 1982. Before serving at Lehigh, Likins served as provost

of Columbia University, where he was a professor and dean of the

Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Science.

Prior to his six years at Columbia, Likins was a member

of the faculty at UCLA, where he advanced through the ranks and

was honored several times for distinguished teaching during his

12-year tenure.

Likins began his professional career as a development

engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the California Institute

of Technology, where he was involved in the very early years of

spacecraft development. In 1983, he was selected a Fellow of the

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and in the

following year, he was elected to membership in the National

Academy of Engineering.

He is author of numerous articles and an engineering

mechanics textbook, and co-author of several advanced texts

related to spacecraft and electro mechanical systems. Likins also

has served as consultant to most major U.S. aerospace compa-

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA PAGE 271

“Bear Down”The University of Arizona’s most memorable athletic tradition is

the slogan “Bear Down,” given to the Wildcat teams by John “Button”

Salmon, student body president and varsity athlete, shortly before

he died in 1926 following an auto accident. Button Salmon’s last

message to his teammates, spoken to J.F. “Pop” McKale, coach and

athletic director, was, “Tell them... tell the team

to bear down.” A memorial to Salmon was

erected in 1986 and is the centerpiece of Bear

Down Plaza outside the southwest corner of

McKale Center. Students painted the slogan on

the roof of University Gymnasium shortly after

Salmon’s death, and it has since been known

as Bear Down Gym. UA’s fight song, “Bear

Down, Arizona,” was written by former UA

marching band director Jack Lee in the late

1950s on a plane trip after interviewing in Tucson for the UA job. He

got the job, and the song is a part of every major UA sports event.

Cardinal & NavyUntil the University fielded its first football team in 1899, the

school colors were sage green and silver. However, the student

manager at the time, Quintus J. Anderson, was able to strike a

particularly good deal with a local merchant for game sweaters of

solid blue with red trim. He then wrote a request that the colors be

adopted. His suggestion was approved, and it’s been Cardinal Red

and Navy Blue ever since for Arizona uniforms.

“A” MountainSituated on Sentinel Peak (elev. 2,885 ft.) west of the city, the

160-foot high by 70-foot wide rock and mortar block “A” was

constructed by UA students between Nov. 13, 1915 and March 4,

1916, in commemoration of Arizona’s 7-3 upset football victory at

Pomona in October 1915. Freshmen students whitewash the “A” in

weekend ceremonies each fall. Some students from opposing

schools occasionally try to repaint it in their colors before big games.

‘‘‘‘‘They Fought Like Wildcats’In 1914, a student correspondent for the Los Angeles Times,

covering the Arizona-Occidental football game at Occidental,

penned: “The Arizona men showed the fight of wildcats.” After

reading the dispatch of the game back in Tucson, the student body

quickly supported a move to call all Arizona athletic teams the

“Wildcats” instead of the “Varsity.” The writer, the late Bill Henry,

who later became a renowned Times columnist and war correspon-

dent, was honored as the “Father of the Arizona Wildcats” at the

50th Homecoming in 1964.

Kit Carson RifleUntil the end of the 1997 season, Arizona and New Mexico had

shared a tradition of the "Kit Carson Rifle," a weapon named for the

famous Territorial scout, which was the trophy retained by the

winning team in the UA-UNM series. The trophy will likely end up in

Arizona's new Heritage center because it was retired from service

prior to the Insight.com Bowl game, pitting the two teams in Decem-

ber 1997. Officials at both schools have decided that any underlying

value of the game trophy, emblematic of the spirit of the rivalry which

began in 1907, is outweighed by the trophy, a Springfield flintlock,

being a weapon of the type used against Native Americans. Arizona

won the rifle 21 times and New Mexico 10 times in the years since

the gun was offered as the game prize in 1938.

Territorial CupIn summer 2001, officials at Arizona and Arizona State

received NCAA Division I-A designation for the 1899 Territorial Cup

as the oldest trophy for a rivalry game in America. The annual

Arizona-Arizona State winner obtains possession of the Cup for its

hall of fame, a replica goes to the winning school’s president’s

office, and two later trophies used over the years in the hard-

fought rivalry are awarded to the winning coach and the Most

Valuable Player. On Thanksgiving Day in 1899, then Arizona

Territorial Normal School defeated Arizona 11-2 in front of a

reported 300 fans, and the Cup had its first curator. But over the

years, the silver-plated antique prize was misplaced and sup-

planted by various other awards for the Big Game — the

Governor’s Trophy (1953-1979), a ‘Victory” sculpture by artist Ben

Goo, and a Saguaro Trophy, among others. To ensure the safety of

the original trophy, the actual Territorial Cup will be moved from one

school to the other only under escort and the supervision of gloved

archivists. The Ben Goo Trophy, awarded

from 1979 to 1998 as the game trophy, has

become the Big Game Most Valuable Player

award and in 2002 was won by ASU

running back Mike Williams. The Saguaro

Trophy, a smaller bronze piece commis-

sioned from artist Dora Perry in 1998, was

handed over to ASU coach Dirk Koetter last

November, when ASU prevailed 34-20. As

UA athletics director Jim Livengood puts it,

“Arizona is fortunate to have one of the

greatest in-state football rivalries in the

nation and it’s fitting that the two schools have rediscovered the

early roots of that tradition.” The games themselves have assumed

various proportions in the last century depending on the annual

success of both teams, but always they’ve been a matter of pride

more than hardware. Now, it’s the oldest intercollegiate rivalry

trophy game in America with a century-old silver award.

Arizona AllegianceArizona Allegiance is recognized by the University of Arizona

Department of Intercollegiate Athletics as the official “Spirit Club.”

The group is comprised of individuals dedicated to supporting

Arizona Athletic events. In its tradition, Arizona Allegiance creates

the halftime banner for every home football game. Additional

activities include pre-game and halftime promotions, tailgates before

football games, social events, fundraisers, annual Athletics

Department banquets, and on-going support of Arizona Athletics

and its sports programs.

Family Weekend Game ScoresFamily Weekend will be celebrated in 2003 during the Oct. 10-

12 weekend of the Arizona-UCLA game. It will mark the 71st time

the event has been held in conjunction with a home football game,

beginning with a 28-0 victory over New Mexico State in 1929, and

the sixth time the Wildcats have faced UCLA during Family Week-

end.

Formerly known variously as Mom’s and Dad’s or Mother’s and

Dad’s Day, the festivities officially were renamed Parents’ Day in

1964. Officials adopted the title “Family Weekend” in 1989. Arizona

won 12 of the first 13 games played through 1941, and the overall

series record is 41-24-1.

The event was not held during World War II, from 1942-44. The

record crowd for a Family Weekend game is the 58,817 who viewed

the 1994 Arizona-UCLA game, in which the Cats beat the Bruins, 34-

24. That also is the second-largest crowd in Arizona Stadium’s 73-

year history.

Arizona had won seven consecutive Family Weekend games

until Miami broke that string in 1991. In 2000, a 53-47 triple-overtime

victory over Washington State snapped a three-game losing streak

dating back to Family Weekend of 1996. The games of late have

been high scoring affairs, and UA has lost five of the past six

contests, giving up 263 points in the span.

The University of Arizona Cheerleading and Mascot Program is

a key component of the University’s spirit organizations. The missionof the program is to promote and enhance school spirit throughtumbling skills, stunts, dance, and interactive crowd participation;cheering and to represent the student body and alumni at variousUniversity functions and local public appearances.

The cheerleading program is comprised of one squad whoseprimary function is to support Arizona football and men’s basketball,volleyball and women’s basketball. Additionally, the squad worksclosely with other sports including, but not limited to, gymnastics,baseball, softball, and swimming and diving.

The Arizona Mascot Program consists of two mascots, Wilburand Wilma The Wildcat. Although both mascots attend many sportingevents, Wilbur attends all Arizona Football games (home and away)and men’s basketball games. Wilma The Wildcat’s primary function isto support volleyball and women’s basketball.

Members of the cheerleading and mascot program also can beseen at various University events and community functions. Lastyear, the cheerleaders and mascots attended more than 100non-university related public appearances.

Through dedication and hard work, The University of Arizonacheerleaders and mascots have become an integral part of thestrong tradition of excellence exhibited by Arizona Athletics.

Year-By-Year Homecoming Game Scores

When the Wildcats play, the ‘Pride of Arizona’ — UA’s marching band —

lends tradition, precision and musical flair to the experience of collegefootball. Arizona’s director of bands Jay C. Rees and the band’s 250members spend long hours preparing for game concerts.

Marching Band is a course offered, by audition, through the University’sacclaimed School of Music. It is not limited to music majors and any memberof the student body may try out. But the hours of work are long — it’s 10hours of ‘classroom’ time on the workout field per week, plus additional timethe musicians put in on their own and at each home game and some roadcontests. All for one unit of credit — the course is taken largely for the prideand pleasure of playing before tens of thousands of people.

Former band leader Jack K. Lee’s lyrics and music for “Bear DownArizona,” the school’s rally cry, help the band make the Bear Down traditionwhat it is today. Lee wrote the song four decades ago in 1952 on an airplanewhen returning to the Midwest from the interview that landed him the UAdirector’s job.

Arizona Rally Songs

‘Bear Down Arizona’By Jack K. Lee

Bear down, ArizonaBear down, Red and Blue

Bear down, Arizona,Hit ‘em hard, let ‘em know who’s who;

Bear down, ArizonaBear down, Red and Blue

Go, go, Wildcats, go;Arizona, bear down!

‘Fight Wildcats! Fight’Words by Doug Holsclaw and T.W. Allen

Fight Wildcats! Fight for Arizona,We’re with you every staunch and true.

This day we hail and we cheer you,They can’t defeat the Red and Blue

Circle the ends and crash through the center,Hit hard and gain on ev’ry play,

Fight Wildcats! Fight! Fight! Fight!We’ll win today!

‘All Hail, Arizona’(Alma mater song)

Words by Ted MonroMusic by Dorothy Heighton Monro

All Hail, Arizona! Thy colors Red and BlueStand as a symbol — of our love for you.All Hail, Arizona! to thee we’ll e’er be trueWe’ll watch o’er and keep you, All Hail!

All Hail!�

Marching Band

The Arizona-Washington game on Nov. 8 will highlight Arizona’s 87thHomecoming celebration in 2003. Since 1914, Arizona has won 49, lost 30and tied five in the series.

The standard for most consecutive Homecoming victories is eight,accomplished from 1916-24 and 1957-64. Arizona’s 63-35 romp over Pacific in1980 broke a record of five straight Homecoming losses.

The Cats’ 7-37 loss to UCLA last year extended a streak of losses onHomecoming to four, the most since 1975-79.

The Washington State score in 1998 of 41-7 is the modern-day record forvictory margin on Homecoming day. Arizona defeated New Mexico State, 73-0, in 1916 and New Mexico Military, 110-0, in 1921 for its highest scoringHomecoming games.

In contrast, the 1925 game featured a scoreless tie between Arizona andNevada-Reno. The last time a team went scoreless on an Arizona Homecom-ing date was in 1936 when the Cats beat New Mexico, 28-0. The mostcombined points scored in Arizona Homecoming history, outside the 1921runaway, was in the 1980 game (98 points) against the Tigers of Pacific.

The record Homecoming crowd was set in 1992 with a crowd of 58,510 onhand to witness the Arizona-Washington game in which the Wildcats beat thetop-ranked Huskies, 16-3. That’s the fifth-largest crowd in Arizona Stadiumhistory.

Homecoming weekend events are campus wide and spearheaded by theUniversity of Arizona Alumni Association.

The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics holds various reunion affairsfor former student-athletes during annual Homecoming festivities.

Considered one of the finest playing facilities in the country,

Arizona Stadium stands as a testament to the history and continuing

tradition of Arizona football.

Built in 1928 with only 7,000 seats located on the west side

between the end zones, the stadium has grown into a 56,000-seat

facility that combines old-style charm with modern conveniences.

It’s quite simply a great place to play and watch a game.

From the end zone bleachers to the upper-deck stands, every

seat features an uncluttered view of the playing surface, and more

than half of the seats provide sweeping vistas of the campus and

nearby city skyline, as well as the Santa Catalina Mountains. The

exciting pre-game buildup leading up to most home-game kickoffs

can be spent enjoying a spectacular desert sunset behind the west

facade of the stadium before welcoming the cooler evenings and

the thrill of the game on the field.

The playing surface itself was renewed in 2002, with Tifway III

hybrid Bermuda from a turf farm near Casa Grande installed in May.

The natural turf has been lauded for the past quarter century after a

transplant project brought greenery from Tucson National Golf Club

when cart paths were added in the mid-1970s. The surface was

noted as one of the two best turfs in America by a Sports Illus-

trated survey in 1986. A new irrigation system installed in 2001

helps keep the stadium surface green throughout the season.

Most games at Arizona Stadium have turned in favor of the

Arizona Football StadiumWildcats. Since playing and winning their first game on Oct. 12, 1929

(35-0 vs. California Tech), Arizona football teams have played 422

games in the stadium, 339 of them at night, winning 263, losing 147

and tying 12 for a .637 winning percentage. The team has never

failed to win at least one home game in a season and has gone

undefeated nine times, the last time coming with a 6-0 record in 1993.

Part of that success is due to the fans in the stands, with UA

enjoying steady fan support through the years. Big games draw big

crowds at Arizona Stadium, especially if it’s a showdown with UA’s

in-state rival. A stadium record crowd of 59,920 witnessed the

Arizona-Arizona State game on Nov. 23, 1996. Four other sellout

crowds in 1994 were close to that record — 58,817 (UCLA), 58,810

(Arizona State), 58,534 (Colorado State) and 58,374 (California).

That marked the third consecutive year (and the only three times)

there had been at least two sellouts in a season since the 1976

expansion project. The highest average attendance for a season

was the 56,612 per game who saw the Cats play in 1993.

Arizona’s winning tradition is on display in the “Ring of Fame”

installed prior to the 1998 season along the facade of the upper deck

on the east side of the stadium. The 420-foot-long structure honors

former football players who have either been named to All-America

teams, or players who have been national statistical leaders, and it

displays each of the bowl games in which the Wildcats have appeared.

At the same time, other additions were made to display the pride

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA PAGE 275

of the University and the city for Wildcat football. On the east

outside wall of the stadium stands lettering which proudly spells

out “Home of the Wildcats” glows red at night, making it noticeable

from one of the main streets of the city a few blocks away.

Several areas of the stadium also sport new coats of red and blue

paint, and refurbishing projects have continued apace since the

1970s.

As Arizona football grew, so did the facilities surrounding it.

In 1989, a $6.3 million structure housing the media, skyboxes and

loge seating was added to accommodate increased interest in the

football program. The four-story skybox put Arizona Stadium in

first-class company, with a first level of 319 loge seats, a second

level of 13 suites, a third level with a President’s Box and 10

suites, and the media center on the fourth level.

The media center is the third press box to service the media at

Arizona Stadium. Increased exposure as the program moved into

the Pacific-10 Conference outgrew the first two structures. It

features 103 seats for the working press, four radio booths, three

network television booths, coaching and administrative booths, a

statistical operations booth and other operations and VIP areas.

The Scholarship Suite/Media Center addition was designed by

Anderson, DeBartolo, Pan Inc., with the Sundt Corp. of Tucson as

general contractor. The most challenging part of the project

required building four 100,000-pound cantilever sections from

which the structure is suspended. Constructing the cantilevers

required a complex slip-forming operation taking place more than

100 feet in the air. The result is a structure that hangs over the

existing stadium but does not touch it.

The project was financed by the UA Foundation through double

tax-exempt bonds under the Arizona Municipal Financing Program.

Leases from Scholarship Suites and loge seats will fund the

retirement of the bonds and in the future provide scholarships for

athletes and the general student body. The amount of money

available for scholarships has grown in successive years.

Each of the scholarship suites includes 12 theater-type seats

with the opportunity to purchase six additional tickets to each

individual suite. They are equipped with closed-circuit television

and an audio choice of crowd, public address or radio broadcast

feeds.

The individual suites generally lease in the $25,000 range per

season with a five-year commitment. The individual loge seats

range from $1,200 per year to $2,000 per year, depending upon

location.

Since the addition of that structure, the stadium has seen

other improvements as well. New concession and rest room

facilities were added at ground level on the northwest and

northeast corners of the stadium, and a renovated and enlarged

Stadium Club was completed in 1990. A new sound system was

added in 1991, and the stadium boasts a new scoreboard, video

and message-center installed in 1999.

These modern accoutrements are the latest in a long line of

additions made to the stadium throughout its 72-year history. In

1938, seats were added between the 25-yard lines on the east

side to boost capacity to 10,000. Nine years later, the end zones

were filled, and in 1950, the horseshoe at the south end was

completed, giving the facility a capacity of 22,671 seats.

That’s the way it remained until 1965 when expansion on the

west side provided 10,000 new seats, along with an 80-foot, multi-

level press box. The two-tier addition to the east stands, adding

17,000 seats in 1976, was selected as one of six outstanding

architectural projects in the Rocky Mountain States for 1977 by the

AIA and presented to Finical and Dombrowski, Architects and

Engineers of Tucson. Finally, permanent north-end bleacher seating

for 4,500 was added in 1988 and can be expanded in the future.

Jim LivengoodDirector of Athletics

Arizona Athletics Administration

The University of Arizona’s athletic department continues to thrive in capable

hands as the program pursues success in its 106th year in 2003—04.

Jim Livengood became UA’s eighth athletics director in January 1994. Behind his

strong leadership, remarkable developments have occurred throughout the program in

the past nine years, both from a competitive and administrative standpoint. The

successful “Campaign Arizona for the Student-Athlete” made possible ICA’s consider-

able facility improvements, highlighted by the fall 2002 dedication of the Eddie Lynch

Athletics Pavilion with its strength and conditioning and medical services centers. 2002-

2003 also marked the addition of individual women’s team locker rooms, a new

academics complex and student-athlete computer lab. During Livengood’s tenure, UA

maintained its top-10 competitive record with overall national rankings by the Sears

Directors’ Cup of sixth in 1993-94; fourth in 1994-95; seventh in 1995-96; sixth in 1996-

97; sixth in 1997-98; ninth in 1998-99; eighth in 1999-2000; fifth in 2000-2001; ninth in

2001-2002 and 16th in 2002-2003. This record reflects success throughout Arizona’s

broad-based program, highlighted by participation in the 1994 and 2001 NCAA Division I

Men’s Basketball Final Four, and becoming 1997 NCAA Men’s National Basketball

Champions. Arizona also won the 1994, 1996 and 1997 and 2001 NCAA Division I

National Softball Championships along with the 1996 and 2000 NCAA women’s golf

titles.

Livengood is uniquely prepared. Since coming to Arizona he has earned the respect of staff, community, and peers alike and has

become well known for his hands-on, personable approach and his involvement with the community.

He is active on the national and regional level. Livengood chaired the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee during the 2002-03

season after serving on the committee since 1999. He is a member of the NCAA Fellows (Pilot) Program to mentor new athletic directors,

and served on the NCAA Peer Review team from 1994-99. This year, Livengood chairs the Pac-10 Athletic Directors Revenue Sharing

Committee, and serves as a member of the Pac-10 Bowl Committee, Pac-10 Men’s Basketball Tournament Subcommittee, and as Pac-10

AD’s Liaison to Men’s Basketball Coaches. In 2002-2003, he was Pac-10 Vice-President, a member of the Rose Bowl Management Commit-

tee in addition to serving on the Pac-10 Revenue Sharing Subcommittee, the Men’s Basketball Tournament Subcommittee, and as Pac-10

AD’s Liaison to Men’s Basketball Coaches

He is among national leaders in gender equity issues, continuing these efforts through his service to the Pac-10 Gender Equity

Committee (1997-98) as well as his continued diligent work to keep the Arizona Athletics program in a leadership role in gender issues.

On the national scene, Livengood is a member of the Executive Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics

(NACDA) after serving as NACDA President in 1998-99, and continues to serve as a member of NACDA’s Finance-Management Committee

and its Strategic and Long Range Planning Committee. He was president of the Division I-A Athletics Directors Association in 1998 and

remains actively involved with that association’s Executive Committee. Livengood was recognized in the spring of 1999 as the NACDA

Division IA Athletic Director of the Year.

No stranger to the Pacific-10 Conference, Livengood spent six years as athletics director at Washington State where he developed a

competitive program and earned high marks for his ability to maintain fiscal management, directing what is still widely regarded as a model

gender equity program and developing a powerful hands-on approach to community affairs and fund-raising. During his tenure at WSU,

Livengood served on the NCAA’s Women’s Committee and Gender Equity Task Force, and the Executive Committee of NACDA.

In Tucson, Livengood has immersed himself in local community and civic activities. In addition to headlining the Jim and Linda Livengood

Toys for Tots Golf Tournament, and involvement with the Tucson Boys’ Chorus and the Humane Society, he serves on the Big Brothers’, Big

Sisters’ Advisory Board and on the board of directors of Southern Arizona Community Bank. He is a member of the Tucson Rotary Club, the

Freshmen

The focus of our program is predicated on the belief that thekey to retention of student-athletes in higher education is anacademically healthy freshman year. We begin the transitionprocess from high school to college early and continue throughoutthe first year.

Upon arrival in August, a member of the Academics staff greetseach student-athlete and family and addresses the new student-athlete at their first team meeting, at the coaches’ request.

The New Start Summer Bridge Program is also available to

incoming freshman. This program involves students coming tocampus during the summer. During a six-week program, freshmenare introduced to academic courses and activities that help newstudents make the transition from high school to college.

Academic Advising

The academic advisor designated by each College has primaryadvising responsibilities for student-athletes who are currentlyenrolled in that College’s curriculum. The C.A.T.S. Academics Officealso offers supplemental counseling to all student-athletes regardingcourse selection for degree requirements and NCAA requirements forcontinued eligibility. The academic advisory staff members areresponsible for monitoring the student-athlete’s progress towards adegree and preserving academic integrity in the advising process.Counseling student-athletes in course selection is one of the mostimportant functions.

The student-athlete meets initiallywith an academicadvisor or member ofa college advisingcenter staff toreview an academicplan based on thestudent-athlete’sacademic back-ground, careerobjectives and areasof interest. Oncethis meeting hasconcluded, thestudent-athlete mayregister for classes.The counselorswithin the Depart-ment of Intercolle-giate Athletics workcooperatively withacademic advisors toensure progresstowards a degree aswell as compliance with all eligibility requirements.

Tutorial Program

Tutorial services are available to all student-athletes uponrequest. These sessions may be conducted in groups or individu-ally. Graduate students and outstanding undergraduate studentsare recruited from all academic departments and are selected on thebasis of faculty recommendation and demonstrated knowledge ofsubject area.

This policy allows close staff supervision andsafeguards the integrity of the program. The services provided bythe tutorial staff are an integral part of the total C.A.T.S. AcademicProgram and are an invaluable learning resource for busy student-athletes.

Individual Learning Program (I.L.P.)

NCAA Rules CommitteeRemoves ‘Halo’ Rule

The NCAA Football Rules Committee has approvedsignificant changes intended to enhance player safety byaddressing rules relating to the opportunity to catch a kickand blocking below the waist.

The committee, which met February 8-12 in Key West,Florida, eliminated the rule prohibiting players of the kicking teamfrom being within two yards of a player of the receiving teampositioned to catch a free or scrimmage kick. The “halo rule,” asit was usually called, was added to NCAA playing rules in 1983.

Players of the receiving team attempting to catch a kick, byrule, still must be given an unimpeded opportunity to catch thekick. They also are afforded protection from being contacted bythe kicking team after the catch by signaling for a fair catch. Thepenalty for not giving a receiving-team player an unimpededopportunity to catch the kick, and for contacting a player whohas signaled for a fair catch, is 15 yards from the spot of thefoul.

“Officials will be instructed to enforce these rules strictlyand give receivers, who are often in the most defenselessposition on the field, the protection they deserve,” said commit-tee Chair Donnie Duncan, senior associate commissioner of theBig 12 Conference.

“The two-yard restricted area provided a sense of falsesecurity for the kick receiver,” Duncan said. “Eliminating it willnot reduce the safety of kick receivers, but will clarify what theyare to expect.

“In addition, if they signal for a fair catch, kicking-teammembers must honor the protection that gives the receiver andavoid contact, especially any acts of threatening contact.”

Blocking rule changed

Backs who are positioned outside the normal tackleposition, in either direction at the snap, are now prohibited fromblocking below the waist when they are blocking toward theposition of the ball at the snap in or behind the neutral zone, andwithin 10 yards beyond the neutral zone.

“Players who are being blocked below the waist by thesebacks are focused on where the ball is and do not see thebacks approaching,” Duncan said. “Consequently, they are notable to defend themselves adequately against a potentiallydangerous block.”

The committee also voted to start the game clock onkickoffs throughout the entire game when the ball is legallytouched in the field of play. This change makes the rule thesame as it was before 1997.

For the past six years, the game clock started when theball was kicked, except in the final two minutes of each half,when it started when the ball was legally touched in the field ofplay.

The committee identified potentially dangerous blocks,protection of punt and kickoff returners, sideline control, andreducing unnecessary hits against players in defenselesspositions (such as quarterbacks after releasing the ball,receivers extended for passes and kickers and punters in theirfollow-throughs) as points of emphasis for 2003.

In other action, the committee recommended that HerbDeromedi, athletics director at Central Michigan University,succeed Duncan as chair of the group when Duncan’s termexpires September 1.

Among the other rules approved by the committee are thefollowing:

⟨ The team area shall be limited to squad members in fulluniform and a maximum of 60 other individuals directly involvedin the game. The individuals not in full uniform shall wear acredential marked specifically for the team area.

⟨ Giving the offended team the option of enforcing all penaltiesfor unsportsmanlike acts occurring during or after a down thatends in a touchdown and before a try, either on the try or onthe succeeding kickoff [Exception: during extra period(s)]. Therule is intended to curtail inappropriate behavior after scoringplays. The change was applauded by college athletics leaderswho gathered in Dallas February 20 for a summit on sportsman-ship and fan behavior (see story, page 1).

⟨ Giving the offended team the option of enforcing all penaltiesfor personal fouls after a touchdown play and before the try,either on the try or the succeeding kickoff.

Media PolicyThe UA Media Relations office will help media throughout the

season in its coverage of Arizona Football including issuing a

weekly news release, daily news items, home game statistical

packages, administering news conferences, practice and press-

box operations, credentialing and road-game access, among

other duties. Media are reminded to check the Arizona athletics

web site (www.arizonaathletics.com) for daily news and

developments.

Football responsibilities of the SID office (520-621-4163):

Tom Duddleston Jr. - sports information director, football

[email protected]

Richard Paige - associate director, football

[email protected]

Alyssa Quintero - graduate assistant, football aide

[email protected]

Mindy Claggett - weekly football pressbox operations

[email protected]

Matt Rector - broadcast television liaison

[email protected]

PracticesPractices normally are open to the local media representa-

tives who cover the team on a regular basis, with the under-

standing that plays, formations and strategy may not be reported.

Questions regarding this caveat as it applies to specific story

ideas can be directed to the UA Media Relations representative

on hand or head coach John Mackovic. All visiting media need

authorization from the UA coach, via the media relations depart-

ment, to attend practice. TV crews from the opponents’ city will

not be allowed to use cameras during practice. Local TV crews

who are sending tapes of interviews to stations in the opponents’

city may not send practice footage. Plays and formations in

practice cannot be taped, filmed or photographed. In addition,

tripods will not be allowed during practice and photographers

cannot set equipment down on the sidelines while shooting

practice; all equipment must be carried at all times. All photogra-

phy and taping must be done from within the areas marked for

media access. Media may make special requests for photo

opportunities at practice if escorted by a Media Relations

representative. Any questions about practice policies should be

directed to sports information director Tom Duddleston Jr. at 520-

621-4163. Normal practice times are in the late afternoon or

evenings Monday through Thursday. Practices may be closed to

the media at the discretion of the head coach.

Facilities Access for MediaThe team locker room, training rooms, strength and condi-

tioning center and team meeting rooms are off limits to media

without invitation from head coach John Mackovic (or various

department heads in the case of the weight room and medical

treatment areas).

Player InterviewsPlayers are available through the media relations

department as class schedules permit Mondays through

Wednesdays and after games on Saturdays:

Sunday: Players’ day off

Mondays: at Mackovic weekly news conference,

1:30-2 p.m.

Tuesdays: Noon to 2 p.m. and post-practice

Wednesday: Noon to 2 p.m. and post-practice

Thursdays: Off limits except by special arrangement

with SID office

Friday: Players unavailable

Saturdays: In locker room during post-game

Players occasionally can do very brief on-the-spot

interviews with media members in the pre-practice period,

and they generally are available post-practice as well. During

many interview periods, separate one-on-one interviews with

specific players cannot be guaranteed due to players’

schedules. Interviews may be scheduled Monday through

Wednesday at the players’ convenience. Phone interviews

can be arranged with players through the Media Relations

office. Players may not otherwise be contacted at their

residences, although they will return calls in the evenings

Monday-Wednesday (by arrangement through the SID office,

collect for out-of-town). Player phone numbers will not be

given to media representatives. Media requesting specific

players for interviews at times other than post-practice

should notify the media relations office by 4 p.m. the day prior

to the interview, and the session will be set up if possible.

Post-Game InterviewsThe Arizona Stadium locker room will be opened

approximately 10 minutes after the last players have entered

the locker room. Player access for road games will depend on

facilities at each venue. Coach John Mackovic does a live

radio show

as soon as the locker room is open, then will meet with the

media directly. Players will be dismissed as soon as their list

of requested interviews is completed. Normally for home

games, assistant coaches remain in the locker room for post-

game interviews only when requested by the media. The

media relations director or his designees are present in the

locker rooms until all interviews are completed.

Coach Mackovic’s Weekly Press ConferencesCoach John Mackovic will hold a press conference each

Monday at 1 p.m. in the SID Office meeting area, Room 106 of

McKale Center. If possible, there will be a conference call on

speakerphone to the opposing coach. Players are normally

requested to appear at 1:30 p.m. if the request is made to the

media relations office on the preceding Sunday.

Page 33: The University of Arizona - SIDEARM Sports · The University of Arizona Born on 40 acres of land donated by a saloon-keeper and two ... Tucson is a thriving metropolis that continues

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA PAGE 297

Coach Mackovic will hold a teleconference on Sundays

following games at mid-day, with times to be announced each

week. Each Tuesday, coach Mackovic will hold a “Tuesdays in

the Huddle with Coach John Mackovic,” open to the public at

Noon at McMahon’s Steak House, 2959 N. Swan Road.

InjuriesWith healthcare providers widely forced to comply with the

federal Health Insurance Portability and Privacy Act (HIPAA) last

spring, some information about player injuries may not be

available to the media. UA athletic department employees likely

will not be free to provide any specific health information on a

student-athlete without consent from the student-athlete. Media

who staff practice and witness injuries firsthand should speak

to head coach John Mackovic before reporting any information.

Media ParkingMedia parking on campus from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday

through Friday is handled through The University of Arizona

Office of News Services, Room 413, University Services

Building, North Euclid Avenue at University Boulevard. All media

needing parking at these times must obtain a permit from that

office. Regardless, Media Parking permits do not allow the holder

to park in handicap, service or 24-hour reserved parking.

Parking tickets are the responsibility of the perpetrator, not the

SID office. Media parking for home and away games will be

administered by the Media Relations Office.

Media TravelAll media travel arrangements are the responsibility of the

media. Football operations director Dan Berezowitz (520-621-

8037) will make hotel reservations in reporters’ names at the

team hotel if information is provided well in advance.

Schedule ChangesAt times, football practice or travel schedules may be

changed with little notice due to weather, airline changes, etc.

When this occurs, the Media Relations office will make neces-

sary adjustments and notification as quickly as possible.

Media CredentialsMedia credentials are issued by game or season to

members of working news agencies only and should be

requested as far in advance as possible on company letterhead.

Credentials shall be granted on a space availability basis to daily

newspapers, television stations, radio stations with sports

news programming and to other coverage approved by the UA’s

Media Relations director, Tom Duddleston Jr. (520-621-4163).

Sideline access will be granted to photographers based on

bonafide professional affiliation. Credentials will not be issued to

free-lance photographers without media assignments. One

producer/reporter per television station will be granted sideline

access, otherwise reporters willnot be issued field passes. No

tripods are allowed within five yards of the field during pre-

game warm-up or the game itself.

Request all credentials in writing from Tom Duddleston,

106 McKale Center, P.O. Box 210096, The University of

Arizona, Tucson AZ 85721-0096; or fax to 520-621-2681; or

email to [email protected]. Non-originating radio stations

note: the contract between The University of Arizona and its

partner KNST Radio prohibits any live actualities from Arizona

Stadium by stations (within KNST’s broadcast area) beginning

three hours prior to the game until three hours after the game

ends. Because of this obligation, credentials may be granted

only to non-originating stations which staff the Wildcats on a

regular basis (weekly news conferences, etc.) This prohibition

is on live feeds only-stations are encouraged to record

interviews and reports and use them on their station’s news

broadcasts.
