The Arizona Board of Regents will meet on campus in the Grand Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center tomorrow and Friday . It is the second meeting of the semester, but its first on campus at the UA since last March.
Items that will be discussed during the meeting include whether to approve five-year strategic plans for all three Arizona universities and whether to endorse a com-mon course numbering system to simplify transferring between Arizona schools.
The board will also finalize members of the executive committee for UA Healthcare Inc. and decide whether to offer a two-year contract extension to UA baseball head coach Andrew Lopez .
The meeting is open to the public on both Thursday and Friday and students are en-couraged to attend. There will be an open call to the audience session on Thursday for anyone interested in addressing the board.
The Daily Wildcat will be maintaining live blog coverage of the meeting at daily-wildcat.com for those unable to attend.
The regents will not meet at the UA again until next April.

Despite a reputation for being last in the Paci� c 10 Conference, UA ath-letes have a greater graduation rate than the rest of campus, according to a Daily Wildcat review of statistics.
The UA’s 2010 six-year graduation rate is 60 percent, 2 percentage points higher than 2009 , according to re-ports from the Of� ce of Institutional Research and Planning Support . However, Arizona Athletics graduat-ed 65 percent of its students, accord-ing to the latest NCAA reports. In the last six years, the athletics’ gradua-tion rate has not dropped below 60
percent, while the UA’s graduation rate is at an all-time high, looking back to 1991.
Five UA teams graduated at least 90 percent of their players last year: women’s golf, women’s tennis, gym-nastics, women’s swim and soccer.
Three out of 16 teams fall below the UA average: men’s tennis, foot-ball, baseball and men’s basketball.
Women’s golf is the only sport to not drop below an 86 percent grad-uation rate since 2004 and has had two consecutive years of 100 percent graduation.
“I just think that in the last 10 years we’ve had a lot of girls turn pro early, and with that we’ve looked at more
recruits that will stay for four years and who think education is just as important as their future golf career,” said Laura Ianello, UA head wom-en’s golf coach .
Women’s tennis rose from only graduating half its players in 2005, to all of them last year.
“I try and bring in the type of character that takes care of academ-ics,” said Vicky Maes, UA women’s tennis head coach . “It’s not easy. We travel, we have a lot of foreign kids who struggle at language … College athletics is mostly about graduat-ing student athletes. I went to school
When Rachel Maxwell start-ed with Compost Go-Live she didn’t know much about the dirty business of composting.
Over the course of the se-mester, the environmental sci-ences junior learned about dif-ferent types of composting, including how to bag and sell it, and wrote her first business proposal .
Compost Go-Live is a Students for Sustainability team that is working to com-post food waste from the Student Union Memorial Center restaurants and plant waste from around campus.
After doing a pilot project over the summer and prep-ping during this semester, the group is ready to hire students and begin composting on a regular basis.
Maxwell is excited to learn new skills next semes-ter, like driving a tractor. The Compost Go-Live interns will be trained on caring for the compost so they will be able to help out when needed.
The group is hiring four stu-dents to do manual labor such as turning and watering the compost and transporting it to the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center . While stu-dents do not need composting experience, a clean driving re-cord is required.
Being focused on trash isn’t always the most glamorous interest.
“My boyfriend tends to make fun of me a lot,” Maxwell said, noting that one time her boy-friend went with her to test the compost and he was nervous the car would reek of trash. Maxwell said he was surprised when the drive was pleasant.
“The compost does not smell like trash. A lot of peo-ple have that misconception. It smells like dirt and it smells really good actually,” said Polly Juang , Compost Go-Live co-manager and engineering management senior.
Juang said when she joined the team she didn’t really know what compost was, but
now she is “really into it” and has enjoyed the bonding expe-rience with fellow interns.
Maxwell says her parents are surprised at her involvement with sustainability because of the difference between UA’s approach to sustainability and her sister ’s school, Arizona
As many students head into the pressures of � nals week, UA’s stu-dent employees are stressing out about more than just grades.
Nineteen percent of UA em-ployees are graduate assistants and associates, 2,856 positions, and with thousands more un-dergraduates earning hourly wages in varying departments, many students pull campus double duty.
The $2.5 million springing from the $80 student services fee, mandated in 2008 by the Arizona Board of Regents and paid by ev-ery UA student, is helping to pay undergraduate wages and gradu-ate salaries.
Bill Ruggirello , assistant direc-tor of career services , said Arizona Student Unions, the Department of Campus Recreation and the UofA Bookstore all employ a great deal of students. “And that can vary from minimum wage to who knows how much … we just ad-vertise jobs but we are not where everything is funneled through,” Ruggirello said.
Student employment opportu-nities offer no guarantee of em-ployment outside of a student position . These jobs max out at 30 hours a week during class ses-sions and 40 hours a week during vacations, ranging from four stu-dent groups of varying levels of skills and education.
Student employees in Student Groups A, B and C titles are non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act and may not be scheduled to work or be paid overtime. International students possessing an F-1 student visa or a J-1 exchange visitor visa, with permission from their sponsor, may be employed under general student employment, according to the Career Services website.

Any decision based on creative thinking will bear fruit this year. Now is the time for invention, innovation and discovering opportunity in unlikely places. Consider how you really love to
spend your time and energy, and then focus on growing those passion projects.
How do you feel about the last day of classes of your first semester? Pumped? Nervous?
Oh, of course I am nervous because it’s the last day of the semester but the first day of finals. And it’s scary because I’ve never experienced finals here, so I don’t know how it’s going.
They’re pretty tough.Yeah, I’ve heard so.You have to spend a
lot of time in the library.Yeah, I’m going to the
library right now, well I’m going to try my best.
How do you feel about the statement “time flies when you’re having fun”?
Here? Well I wasn’t focused on studying that much here, so I’ve been kind of having fun for the whole semester.
What were you focused on?
Well, it’s my first four months in the U.S. so … yeah.
Welcome! Where are you from?
I’m from Saudi Arabia.When do you go back,
next semester or year?No, I am going to be
studying here for four years.
Why did you decide to come to Arizona?
Well, because I am majoring in geophysics and the UA is one of the best universities in the geosciences department.
And what do geophysics majors do?
It’s simply the studying of the oil, extracting oil from beneath the earth’s surface.
How do you feel about spending your first holiday season in the U.S.?
Well, we don’t celebrate Christmas back in Saudi Arabia, actually I am going to Japan for Christmas.
Whoa, why?My brother lives there.That is so cool, very
global. Do you think Americans make the holiday traditions a big deal with all the decorations, these carolers on the Mall?
Well yeah, I’ve been to Europe before, but America is something different.
Do you think we overdo it?
(Laughs) No, I think this is the way it should be, you know?
Well, I hope you know you are the last student being put “On the Spot” for the 2010 year … pretty big deal.
That’s really awesome.

Macy’s has fired a veteran Santa Claus at one of its San Francisco stores after a couple complained that a joke he told them was inappropriate.
John Toomey, 68, a popular Kris Kringle at the Union Square Macy’s for the past 20 years, was told over the weekend that his services would no longer be needed because of objections from an older woman and her husband who visited him, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
“When I ask the older people who sit on my lap if they’ve been good and they say, ‘Yes,’ I say, ‘Gee, that’s too bad,’” Toomey told the newspaper Monday. “Then, if they ask why Santa is so jolly, I joke that it’s because I know where all the naughty boys and girls live.” He said it was the first time anyone complained about the joke.
Toomey told the Chronicle that he doesn’t crack the joke when
kids sit on his lap.A Macy’s spokeswoman told
the Chronicle the company had no comment about the dismissal because it was a personnel matter, but the newspaper said several workers at the department store were distraught that Toomey was let go. “Everybody’s just heartsick about this,” said one worker, who asked not to be identified because of store policy.

Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 7 — Seek balance
today between independent study and group effort. The combination creates a practical blend. Persuade others to follow your lead.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 9 — An associate fusses
over financial details. You may feel an independent impulse and go off on your own. But you get better results if you work together.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 6 — One team member
feels stressed because an idea doesn’t mesh with the plan. Take time to soothe any hurt feelings. Then make it fair later.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) — Today is a 6 — Your project requires
some changes. Use a very delicate touch and a slight mental readjustment to avoid damage. Then step back and admire.
Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — Early in the day,
your attention shifts from work matters to a relationship based on fun. Coworkers can manage details while you pursue a recreational activity. Go play!
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 — Productivity could
be tricky, with your mind on romance. Imagination carries you far from practical considerations, yet those ideas get the job done.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — Your attention focuses
on household matters today. To resolve a difficulty, first establish a balanced perspective. Then create options and choices.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — The best foundation
for today’s effort is creativity. You don’t need to finish anything, but you do need to get a good start. Allow emotions to flow.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)— Today is a 9 — Produce and direct
your own drama today. You won’t need much to get fired up. A shortcut limits potential less than you’d imagined and gets you there faster.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — You feel self-
contained in your plans and ideas today. Creative thinking becomes action, easily. Stick to practical means and minimal budget. Then go.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — To surprise someone
special, maintain an outer appearance of busy activity. You can even ask questions to divert attention. Develop your act ahead of time.
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) — Today is a 6 — Most of your
attention is on other people now. Research facts and listen to intuition, rather than following blindly. Protect personal assets, and then choose.

State University. “Their (ASU’s) sustainability
program isn’t funded by stu-dents. It’s funded by actual out-side private sources and their sustainability program started from faculty. So it’s kind of a different way that we’ve gone about it,” Maxwell said.
Compost Go-Live has gar-nered attention both on and off campus. Some off-cam-pus groups interested in using the compost are Whole Foods, Home Depot and Wal-Mart . There are 2,000 palm trees on campus that get trimmed twice a year, a chore that is an exam-ple of the green waste Facilities Management Director Chris Kopach is excited to incorporate
into the project. By turning green waste into compost, Facilities Management can avoid the fee to take the waste to a land� ll. Kopach is also interested in us-ing the compost for the vegeta-tion around campus.
Right now Compost Go-Live is collecting food waste from all of the Student Union Memorial Center restaurants except for Burger King, Panda Express and Papa John’s .
They did not ask those res-taurants because they wouldn’t have waste that would be ap-plicable and are not owned by the UA.
The group is meeting today to see about collecting food waste from University Medical Center.
ASUA funded all $7,000 for the last club funding requests for the se-mester and will be approving those suggestions as well as discussing the future of Associated Students of the University of Arizona.
In the last appropriations board meeting of the semester, every proposal gained full fund-ing from the board, bringing the total allocated to $7,160.31, with the total amount funded rising to $54,707.01.
Students on Stage , a theatre club which promotes interest in the performing arts, received a re-appropriation of money original-ly provided earlier in the year for venue costs, to then be delineated toward building stage platforms and to buy paint and additional lumber needed for stage sets.
Solar Cats Club, which brings environmentally conscious UA students together toward imple-menting new measures of har-nessing solar energy, requested and received money for shirts.
The Astronomy Club, an edu-cational outreach organization geared toward research, received funding from the board for their
request for plane tickets, hotel and event registration fees. The club will head to Seattle, Wash., for the American Astronomical Society meeting from Jan. 9 to Jan. 13, 2011, where they will be presenting their research to scientists nationwide.
Students Supporting Brain Tumor Research Club, geared to-ward raising awareness of brain tumors and donating 95 per-cent of money raised to research, gained funding for materials to put on their “Fashion. Music. Pool. For the Cure” fashion show to raise money for brain tumor research at the Steele Children’s Research Center in Diamond Children’s Hospital on March 5, 2011, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the UA Recreation Center pool.
Airfare and registration fees for Global Health Alliance Club to at-tend Professional Skills Training in Writing and Reviewing for Scienti� c Journals , an Orlando, Fla., meeting headed by the Physiological Association to crit-ically analyze journal articles and learn how to get published was funded by the board.
The Arizona Students Association’s legislative agenda will also be discussed at the se-mester’s last meeting.
The graduate Energy Science Group discusses a recurrent topic in the national agenda: renewable energy and energy independence.
The group started as an ef-fort to network with other re-searchers on the � eld around campus. “It was more knowing there was a need for a venue for graduate students to get to-gether from a lot of disciplines, because there’s a lot of ener-gy research going on in differ-ent departments,” said Anne Simon , a � fth-year chemistry doctoral student and one of the more involved members.
Stemming from UA’s energy frontier research center called the Center for Interface Science: Solar Electric Materials , the group be-gan meeting in February.
There are members from opti-cal sciences, hydrology and even business. “Solar’s a big burgeon-ing market for business start-ups,” said Judy Jenkins , also a � fth-year doctoral student in the chemistry department.
Simon said that the week-ly discussions take place at the Henry Kof� er building, partly because most participants are in the chemistry department.
Because of the different sci-enti� c backgrounds, there is a challenge when choosing speak-ers for the discussions. Trying to � nd a balance between technical conversation and language that can be understood by most other people not as involved with sci-ence can be dif� cult.
“We also don’t want to segregate
people who are just going to glaze over in the � rst � ve minutes, data point after data point,” Simon said.
A lot of “discussion leaders,” as speakers are called, begin their presentations by giving an overview of the speci� c issue they’ll discuss. Among some of the outside guest speakers was Arun Majumdar , director for the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy.
For Dallas Matz , in his fourth year as a chemistry doctoral stu-dent, meeting people with the same interest in this type of re-search is one of the most valu-able aspects of the group.
“It’s hard when you’re walk-ing down the street to know who else wants to talk about this kind of thing,” Matz said.
Simon said she agrees. “For me, I sit in a lab and I speak with maybe six people every day,” about this kind of research. Connecting on a scienti� c and social level with various people about energy science is reward-ing, she said.
The group has a website on the Ning social network with about 70 members, a tool for anyone in-terested in being up-to-date with the topics discussed at meetings. Attendance varies, and some more popular topics have drawn around 60 people, Simon said.
But the goal is to have mem-bers who are interested in the subject and in participating, rather than showing up only for extra credit, Jenkins said.
Simon stressed the importance of energy science on an inter-national level. “Our nation and
world actually sit in sort of an energy science platform. What we actually need to accomplish in order to make renewable ener-gy, speci� cally, solar or biofuels a signi� cant part of the energy portfolio of the nation.”
The number of undergradu-ates who participate is scarce, and most who do are in the grad-uates’ research labs.
On the last meeting of the se-mester, Daniel Huebner , a senior majoring in economics and mi-noring in chemistry , was the � rst undergraduate to lead a discus-sion. Huebner’s presentation fo-cused on OLEDs — organic com-pounds which emit light — after receiving electric currents and OPVs, organic photovoltaic cells used in solar energy.
Huebner’s interest in energy science started as a result of a general education class he took his freshman year, where he learned basic principles of chem-istry and the energy crisis. He got involved in Neal Armstrong’s lab, the director for the energy frontier center .
He added a chemistry minor in order to learn more about things he encountered in his work at the lab. Huebner said he learned a lot about energy science from asking questions, many to people who participated in the group.
“If you would’ve told me in my senior year in high school that I was going to be working in a research lab, I would’ve told you that you’re crazy. College’s pretty cool,” Huebner said.
The group will resume meetings next semester on January 14th.

Democrats have reluctantly allowed for a two-year extension of tax cuts for the richest 2 percent of
the nation as long as unemployment benefits are extended in tandem, to which Republicans have gladly “acquiesced.”
Calling this a compromise would be inaccurate because, as usual, the Democrats were the only ones making concessions.
Republicans didn’t “accede to Democratic demands” to extend unemployment benefits, which is the story being peddled by the media. With an unemployment rate of nearly 10 percent, Republicans had no choice but to extend unemployment benefits. The only reason they obstructed efforts to extend them earlier is because it would allow them to use the issue as a bargaining chip in future negotiations with the White House. Incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had no problem holding unemployed Americans hostage in order to get what they wanted.
But not only were the Democrats oblivious to the Republican Party’s duplicity; they failed to use favorable public opinion to make their case. A recent CBS poll indicates that a combined 67 percent of Americans oppose tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent, a decisive majority.
The Democrats had the political clout to ensure the tax cuts were allowed to expire and had they fought for it, they would have succeeded.
This latest capitulation from Congress and the White House has enraged the “professional left,” and rightfully so. Cenk Uyger, host of the popular syndicated radio talk show “The Young Turks,” lambasted the Democrats for allowing themselves to be emasculated by Republicans once again. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which was strongly opposed to any negotiations with Republicans on tax policy, released a scathing web ad calling on the president to remember his 2008 promise to repeal the tax cuts for the wealthy.
If current tax rates remain in place for another two years, “coincidentally” coinciding with the remainder of Obama’s term, it will not only prove politically damaging but could send this country spiraling into an economic depression. Tax cuts for high-income earners are unjustifiable in the middle of an economic recession. Any economist will tell you this. An analysis of tax policy and its effect on overall economic conditions for the past 30 years proves tax cuts for the wealthy do not spur economic growth.
In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan’s massive tax cut for the rich not only tripled the federal deficit but led to a precipitous increase in income inequality. Reaganomics may have strengthened the job market in the short term, but it did so on the backs of middle class workers and at the expense of a balanced budget.
On the other hand, the Clinton tax hikes of 1993, which fell exclusively on the upper class, ushered in the longest sustained period of economic growth in this nation’s history. Annual income for middle class Americans increased by more than $6,700 and there was a budget surplus of $230 billion by the end of Clinton’s second term.
Under the Bush administration, these gains were reversed. The Bush tax cuts of 2003 brought with them the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. The federal deficit ballooned to a staggering $482 billion and the number of Americans living in poverty increased by 21.04 percent.
If three decades worth of empirical evidence and the support of 67 percent of the American people isn’t enough to empower the Democratic Party to take a stand against tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent, what will?
The impotence of this Democratic-led Congress is absolutely sickening. The party’s weak national leadership and its reluctance to draw a line in the sand will be the nail in its coffin in 2012. If Democrats cannot make a case for something as fundamental as progressive taxation, they are doomed.

Prepare yourself, student body. It’s almost time for finals, and that means a mass exodus to the hallowed halls
of the many libraries on campus. Get your desk locked down now, because soon every fortress of study will be filled, all-nighters will be pulled and not a single book will be checked out. Also, at least 20 people will use the “Ask-a-librarian” feature for evil purposes. (You: Am I actually talking to a librarian?! Librarian: Yes. You: Hee hee. Librarian: I hate my job.)
So, with your study fate sealed (because there’s no way you’re going to study at home — not with “Black Ops” calling to you from the next room), one very important question remains: Where are you going to spend your week frantically fretting and poring over barely legible notes? There are many libraries competing for your love this finals season, and this is the comprehensive guide to which one will serve you best. So as you sit in that wooden booth and read the increasingly desperate appeals from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales (Please Read: A monetary command from the Wikipedia overlord. I provide 99 percent of your college sources. Give me money or I will ruin you.), know that you truly picked the best study hall of all.
Let us begin with the Arizona Health Sciences Library. Nestled in the middle of the University Medical Center complex, it is a great haven for all of those driven science students who need a little extra refuge for their science-driven course loads.
Pros: It is a huge, expansive library with a wide variety of places to do your study thing. Most importantly, though, is its close location to the UMC cafeteria, which grants constant access to those hardcore energy
drinks (Blue Nitrous Rage Monster: Angry Edition) that keep your brain awake in the library. And the best part of all? There’s a fake skeleton in the library.
Cons: It’s extremely far away, if you’re using the central campus as an origin point. All the way up to Drachman Street and Speedway Boulevard? I’d rather just wing the O-chem exam. Other downsides are that the skeleton is actually kind of spooky, only medical students can get the study rooms and the desk clusters look like giant swastikas. I am sure that I cannot be the first person to notice this hidden Aryan agenda. Also, not the best place for germaphobes, considering the hospital’s proximity. And it closes at 2 a.m.
Next is the UA Main Library. Simple, huge, dependable, it’s the workhorse of the library squad.
Pros: Most of this building’s appeal comes from its size, and how long it stays open. I am fairly sure this is the only 24-hour library, making it a wonderful makeshift home for a particularly intense all-nighter. The Bookend Café is next door, but cannot keep up with the stamina of the Main Library and will leave you high and dry after 10 p.m.
Cons: The stadium lights on the one side make you feel like you’re in the middle of a sci-fi movie and the aliens have just landed. Also for some reason, everyone feels the need to look up and glare at you when you tip-toe by, as if you just screamed “I hate books!” and started wantonly pulling them off the shelves.
Close to the Main Library is the Science-Engineering Library. A personal favorite, it has the best printing set-up, as well as a neat electric stapler.
Pros: It’s close to the Mall, making last-minute essay print jobs easy and efficient. The people at the front desk are always much happier than people who work at a library front desk should be. The actual-student-to-homeless-man-leveling-up-his-WOW-character ratio is great.
Cons: That last minute essay print job isn’t actually easy and efficient, because there seems to always be a huge line when you need there not to be. I’ve rushed in many times with two minutes to spare, only to find myself in the queue equivalent of Twi-hards waiting at the New Moon premiere. Also, the scanners are “priority use,” which means that technically they are fair game if every other computer is taken. So it would be totally out of line to yell at someone using it for not scanning, Girl with Red Shirt last year. Oh yes, people remember. Especially columnists.
Music Library. Need I say more? (I hope not.)
Pros: Bright, cheery, full of artsy people. Cons: Studying’s fine, if you can put up
with the William Tell Overture playing at arbitrary level “11” next door at seemingly all hours of the day.
Then there’s the Law Library at the James E. Rogers College of Law, home of the bright-eyed attorneys-to-be.
Pro: Habeas corpus.Con: They will literally not let
undergraduates in. Also I have no idea where it is, which at least constitutes a personal con.
And so there you have it: an extensively researched, completely subjective, qualitative analysis of a few libraries on campus. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, it appears that your best bet is … to just play “Call of Duty” instead. You can always do that finals thing next semester, and those Nazi zombies aren’t going to kill themselves. Especially not the ones at the medical library.

This finals week, hit the stacks
Democrats cave to pressure on tax cuts
Remember way back on Sept. 1, when Gov. Jan Brewer had one of the most embarrassing political
debate performances in recent memory? After what felt like an hours-long pause, Brewer confidently told viewers that, under her careful leadership, “We have changed everything … We have done everything that we could possibly do.”
Some UA students, particularly the handful of Associated Students of the University of Arizona senators and staffers who attended Monday’s re-accreditation open public forum, are taking a page of out Brewer’s book. Like Brewer, these proud few seem to believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the UA can do almost nothing meaningful to improve.
When Jennifer Heller of the University of Kansas, one of the accreditation board members, asked whether students felt diversity was lacking on campus, the answer was an overwhelming “No.”
“If there’s one thing the university does well, it’s diversity,” said James Allen, ASUA President Emily Fritze’s chief of staff. This statement completely ignores the fact that diversity stretches further than admissions numbers; it means fostering a safe, welcoming environment for every student who steps onto this campus, one that addresses the needs and concerns of those students.
Luckily, if you believe the sycophantic chatter that came out of the open forum, no such needs or concerns exist. When asked if students from certain groups ever felt unwelcome, Spring Fling Executive Director Brittany Steinke said, “No, I don’t think anyone has felt unwelcome on campus.”
Steinke cited the presence of cultural centers such as the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center and the UA Hillel Center as evidence that diversity is alive and well on campus. She then suggested that more students don’t use those services because “they just don’t advertise themselves as much as they could.”
The UA’s student body is becoming increasingly diverse, but it falls somewhere between willfully ignorant and insane to suggest that the UA has no room for improvement when it comes to diversity. These elected officials — who make up one of the most homogenous crops of ASUA leaders in recent memory, it should be noted — claim to represent the 36,000 students on this campus, yet they can’t come up with a single suggestion to improve campus diversity. Instead, they referenced an ASUA Pride Alliance plan to create an LGBTQ-themed wing in a residence hall next year as proof that they’re dealing expertly with all diversity issues on campus. In addition to being startlingly arrogant, this reveals that ASUA has little to no sense of the needs of the student body it represents.
When it came to the UA’s finances, student leaders had a few more suggestions. The lone Graduate and Professional Student Council representative, Zachary Brooks, proved that GPSC, at least, had heard its constituents’ needs and responded. Brooks suggested unbundling fees and increasing their transparency.
On the other hand, when Heller asked if any students were feeling financial pressure, Allen responded, “Most (students) haven’t experienced a true issue. I haven’t personally had any issues with it.”
While it’s nice that Allen is sitting pretty, it’s not clear how he managed to extrapolate his finances to apply to tens of thousands of undergraduates. No other ASUA members at the forum spoke up to refute Allen’s claim. Once again, this is not just irresponsible; it’s crazy.
It’s incredibly narrow-minded of these student leaders to assume that their personal and financial situations apply to everyone else on campus. Do they ever talk to constituents who aren’t just like them? Do they seek out diverse campus populations and ask how the university could better serve their needs? Based on their responses at the forum, it doesn’t sound like it.
ASUA is often seen, fairly or unfairly, as a glorified student council. Unfortunately, these so-called leaders have a lot more responsibilities than decorating gyms for dances. They’re being asked to represent our needs to people who matter, and they’re doing it poorly.
It’s almost unfathomable that this group of students didn’t have any meaningful suggestions to improve the UA. That shows, not that we’re in great shape, but that fundamentally, our student leaders aren’t doing their jobs.

here and I look at that as a blessing, go-ing somewhere, getting a scholarship, so you owe it to your school first and fore-most to graduate.”
Maes requires a 3.0 GPA for her team and 5 a.m. workouts for athletes who cut class. If the problem persists, she requires full-team 5 a.m. workouts. Football has consistently been criticized for having the lowest graduation rate in the Pac-10. In fact, at 48 percent, the team is 12 percentage points below the UA average. However, it has been on the rise since 2005 when its graduation rate sank to 39 percent.
Baseball has been on a steady decline since 2004, when 54 percent of its play-ers graduated. Most recently, that rate has fallen to 28 percent. The UA is also one of the three most represented schools by current professional baseball players.
“Now I have 12 active players in the major league but that means that those guys don’t graduate,” said UA base-ball head coach Andy Lopez. “Someone is complimenting me on that fact, that there’s only two other programs active in the major leagues, but on the same side someone is saying, ‘You don’t graduate your guys.’”
Lopez forfeited his draft chances and graduated from University of California, Los Angeles, before becoming a coach.
“I wish they would all stay and get their degree as Coach Lopez did, but I un-derstand that the world I’m in has young men getting drafted and they choose to pursue their career in professional base-ball,” Lopez said. “In 2008 we had two first-round pitchers offered between $1.9 million and $1.5 million, and you’re ask-ing them to stay and go to school for less than full scholarships and forfeit a $1.5 million signing bonus. Realistically, that won’t happen.”
Basketball is consistently the team with the lowest graduation rate on campus. In 2004 and 2005, 42 percent of basketball players graduated, but that number has fallen, with the most significant drop in 2008 to 11 percent. That was also the year that former UA head coach Lute Olson left the program.
Sean Miller, UA men’s basketball head
coach, came to the UA last year from Xavier University. The team’s graduation rates at Xavier have not dropped below 80 percent since 2004.
One of Miller’s goals for UA basketball is to increase graduation rates. After start-ing at the UA, men’s basketball’s gradua-tion rate almost doubled.
Greg Byrne, UA’s athletics director, also came to the UA this year with a focus on academics.
In Byrne’s first address to the Faculty Senate, he stressed the importance of aca-demics and graduation for athletes.
He presented the new classroom at-tendance policy that he implemented on campus this semester.
“Athletes who have three unexcused absences would receive a written warn-ing; more than three unexcused absenc-es would result in loss of playing time,” Byrne said.
The athletics department works with Commitment to an Athlete’s Total Success (C.A.T.S.) Academics to enforce this new policy.
“I’m really encouraged and pleased with the support that Greg (Byrne) is giving, and the focus that he’s placing on academic achievement and account-ability,” said Mike Meade, director of C.A.T.S. Academics. “But because it is new … it will definitely help to men-tion class attendance is really the first step in students improving in their performance.”
Lopez said the new policy just adds to baseball’s already strict policy.
“I’ve had a policy that if they miss class, they don’t get on the field,” he said.
Three athletes have enough unexcused absences to be subject to suspension from competition, and a few others are at the warning level.
“We just got back our second round (of progress reports) and we have had some issues pop up,” Meade said. “It has hap-pened a couple of times, but we haven’t been held out yet. One sport affected is not in season but it will affect them when it is in season.”
Lopez feels the policy is a good one for athletes, but that non-athletes aren’t
perfect, either.“I don’t think there’s perfect atten-
dance on campus. I don’t think everyone graduates when they show up here. The normal student misses classes and the normal student doesn’t graduate and I think the normal student might fail a class now and then. I know that that’s the norm,” Lopez said. “But student ath-letes are under the microscope and they have to understand that.”
If athletes aren’t graduating, it’s not be-cause of a lack of resources available, pro-fessors say.
Pre-business is the most common ma-jor on campus for all student athletes.
“I find them to be very good students, very focused, in part because they, as an athlete, especially the ones on scholar-ship, are the ones I track most closely in working with Mike (Meade),” said Bill Neumann, a business professor who teaches MIS 111, a required course for pre-business students. “That’s their part-time job, this is what’s paying for their education and many, many of the stu-dents recognize how important is it for academics to be front and center in terms of what they are doing.”
Family studies and human develop-ment is another common major for ath-letes and those professors feel that stu-dents are attentive and attend class.
“They (C.A.T.S) are pretty help-ful, they really keep on top of the stu-dents,” said Allison Ewing, coordinator of Undergraduate Programs at the John and Doris Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences.
Ewing mentioned that one improve-ment athletes could make is speaking with their academic advisor and not just their C.A.T.S advisors.
“One problem we sometimes run into is they are giving them academic advising advice that doesn’t necessar-ily match up with what we would say,” Ewing added.
Neumann appreciates the C.A.T.S ad-visors because they have a person to con-tact if he sees a student struggling.
“I basically treat athletes like every oth-er student and by setting those standards, they do well,” he added.

Punching property in parking lot prompts police pick up
An of� cer went to a parking lot on UA property on Warren Avenue at 10:51 a.m. on Dec. 3 after receiving notice that there was a drunken man in the parking lot leaning against a car and punching the side of it.
When the of� cer got to the parking lot, he found a man who matched the description sleeping on the ground. The of� cer then recognized this man as someone he had contacted numerous times in the past.
The of� cer ran a records check through UAPD communications, which returned that the man had two outstanding warrants from UAPD for failing to appear in court on two accounts of criminal trespassing.
The of� cer placed the man under arrest at 10:59 a.m. He was booked into Pima County Jail.
Maybe it was the drunken man (see above)A UAPD of� cer received a call about criminal damage to
a vehicle on Dec. 3, around 8:43 a.m. He went to the location, which was at the lot east of the
Tucson Marriott University Park hotel, and met with the victim. The victim explained that he had valet parked his car at the Marriott at about 5 p.m., on Dec. 2. The valet returned the vehicle to the victim on Dec. 3 at about 8:30 a.m., and informed him of the punched door lock on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
The victim went in his car and saw that his middle console and the glove box had been tampered with. He veri� ed that he and the valet had both opened the car before the of� cer arrived on the scene. The victim then went through everything in his car, and made sure that nothing was missing.
He told the of� cer he wished to pursue judicial proceedings if a suspect is identi� ed.
Ford found with fractured windowsA 2004 Ford truck was broken into while it was parked
on the top � oor of the Second Street Parking Garage on Dec. 2, sometime between 6 p.m. and 3:33 a.m.
A University of Arizona Police Department of� cer went to the location where the truck was parked and noticed that the silver F-150 truck had broken rear windows. The of� cer could see broken glass inside the truck and it appeared that the glove box and the middle console had been ri� ed through.
The of� cer did not note any obvious signs of theft, but attempted to take � ngerprints. Unfortunately, no � ngerprints of evidentiary value were found.
The owner of the truck was contacted but said that he could not go to the location at the time. The of� cer gave him a case report number concerning what happened to his truck, and he was advised to contact UAPD if any belongings were missing from his truck.
The owner told police that there was a broken popped lock on the driver’s side of the door, and that this was previous damage.
Missing Holiday Bowl jerseyA jersey was lost at the Arizona Stadium sometime
between 10 and 10:30 p.m. on Dec. 2. An of� cer went to the stadium the next day and made
contact with the woman who reported her missing property via telephone. She said that on Dec. 2 she saw her son’s girlfriend wearing the jersey inside of the stadium. The woman and her family were sitting in the section 208, near row 14.
At 10:30 p.m., she noticed that the jersey was missing. The police of� cer told the woman about UAPD’s property and evidence room and that she could call to see if anyone turned in the jersey.
The jersey was a white authentic Holiday Bowl jersey and said “FOSTER” on the back.

Arizona Student UnionsWhile studying late night at the Cellar Bistro ,
take a look at the newly remodeled facility. A student worker chaired the remodel.
Projects in the Arizona Student Unions, such as integrating social media and reno-vating the game rooms and the Cellar Bistro came from the Professional Internship Program .
Arizona Student Unions received $17,000 last year from the student services fee to pay for its graduate assistants. According to Melissa Vito , vice president for student affairs who oversees the student services fee board , there is not a mandate for those receiving student services fee support to hire graduate or undergraduate students, but the focus on student hires has been a priority of previous boards.
“During the class they take on a proj-ect, they work through it and they come up with a solution to it, and they then im-plement it throughout their careers,” said Ashley Labar, student human resources co-ordinator . After a two-unit course offered in spring semesters, students start at $10.25 an hour. The maximum is $10.75 an hour.
The Arizona Student Unions em-ploy around 945 students, according to Stephanie Cunningham, advisor to the stu-dent human resource department .
Most students start out at minimum wage, and with every 250 hours of work they are eli-gible for a 25-cent an hour raise. Student leads and managers get dollar raises per hour.
“We recently opened that up to the book-store and Residence Life to offer the pan-professional experience more division-ally and get the student voice out there,” Cunningham said.
UofA BookstoreStudents are selling back books left and
right, and when next semester starts stu-dents will be leading the charge. The UofA Bookstore operates as a fully self-� nanced, non-pro� t unit of the UA as a professional asset of the Arizona Board of Regents.
The bookstore employs between 250 and 300 students during their “rush” periods at the beginning of each semester, which is reduced to six graduate assistants and 187 permanent undergraduate student em-ployees throughout the year who receive supervisory, salaried positions within de-partments, said Jessica Calcagni , student personnel of the UofA Bookstore.
In this year’s student services fee board recommendations, efforts like $5,000 for the book scholarship extravaganza — chaired by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona — worked to show student commit-ment to lowering book costs for students.
Although most UofA Bookstore student employees will start at minimum wage, those “who illustrate good work ethic” in three months or during annual checks will be up for raises said Calcagni. Student em-ployees of the bookstore receive discount-ed books after an extended period of work, usually after a semester.
As for advancement opportunities, “the sky’s the limit,” Calcagni said. The pro-cess is no different from work-study, and the UofA Bookstore is “happy to be able to � t a student with a higher-paying posi-tion when we’re able to — especially when it falls within their chosen career � eld.”
Department of Campus RecreationWhen exercising away some � nals stress,
or playing those last games of intramural soccer or basketball, take a look at the stu-dents who are holding the whistles and swiping the CatCards .
Carolina Luque , graduate assistant for student development at the Department of Campus Recreation , says there are more than 230 student employees at the Recreation Center, 100 of which act as referees for intra-mural games. All are hourly wage earners.
For minimum wage increases and expan-sions in student staf� ng, the Department of Campus Recreation received a recommen-dation of $96,800 from the student services fee board last year.
Most students start at minimum wage, but Luque said according to the department’s human resources representative, “that it is against our policy to disclose wage informa-tion of our student employees.”
They utilize a � ve-week program called ATLAS, Applied Tailored Leadership Adventure for Students , through the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership in the Student Union . “There are students that have been here for six plus years because they’ve moved up,” Luque said.
The Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, or CSIL, received $34,000 last year from student services fees to support graduate assistant opportunities.
Through workshops in con� ict resolution and customer services, the program “helps them do their jobs better, so that they have the skill set to take them beyond here and to their chosen career path,” Luque said.

Forget about the failed ex-tra points, the missed tackles, the dropped interceptions, the lack of a running game and the ramped up competition.
The Wildcats’ four-game skid heading into the Valero Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma State boils down to something simpler than defensive schemes and po-sitional matchups.
Togetherness. Accountability. Trust. It was no secret why the
Wildcats jumped out to a 4-0 start and exceeded expectations early in the year.
“We just rally around one an-other,” said quarterback Nick Foles after Arizona willed its way past California to remain undefeated. “We come together as a team, and we’re so close. We’re like brothers. We play for each other.
“It’s de� nitely a close-knit group,” he added.
Senior safety Joe Perkins echoed Foles’ statement after the Cal win.
“Just a personality change,” he said. “We’re just all together now and just have a bond.”
But that brother-like mindset has been MIA since November. And if the Wildcats hope to get out of the gutter and play like
Jordin Mayes didn’t receive the attention of the typical high-pro-� le college recruit. At Westchester High School , where the three-star prospect didn’t start his entire high school career, the attention wasn’t always on him.
But growing up as he did, Mayes received plenty of attention from
those who knew college basketball — his father Darryel Mayes and for-mer Wildcats Damon Stoudamire and Salim Stoudamire .
“I watched them a lot,” Mayes said of the Stoudamire cousins. “I went to Damon’s camps a couple times when I was younger. He put a little bit into my game. Salim, I talked to him recently. We(‘ve) got a good relationship.”
Darryel Mayes mentored Damon
Stoudamire as he grew into a talent-ed high school player at Woodrow Wilson High School in Portland, Ore., Jordin Mayes said. The fam-ilies have remained close after Darryel Mayes moved his family to California.
The newest No. 20, Jordin Mayes’ technical, yet smooth release might remind fans of past No. 20s.
Arizona opened the season with two close losses at No. 3 Arizona State on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 but since then, the No. 23 Icecats have gone 8-3 and only lost one of their last six games.
ASU is currently riding a four-game win streak and average 4.56 goals per game . The Sun Devils also boast a lockdown de-fense that has limited opponents to 2.94 goals while Arizona has given up 4.31.
However, above all the statis-tics is the fact that ASU has beaten Arizona in 10 straight games.
The Icecats hope to even out the season with the Sun Devils in this weekend’s two-game set at the Tucson Convention Center on Dec. 10 and 11.
Freshman forward Andrew Murmes is only two games into the rivalry, but already under-stands the meaning. He said a sweep would be enormous in helping the team’s ranking and its personal pride.
“Everyone’s going to have more � ght in them because it’s ASU and we want to win,” he said. “We just lost to ASU in football, so we want to be the team that sweeps them so everyone goes home for

Arizona prepares for bitter rivals with revenge in mind
Icecats set for ASU showdown
By Daniel GaonaARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The Valero Alamo Bowl gives the Arizona Wildcats the chance to do something they have failed to do for the last four games — win.
Arizona has three weeks to prepare for its showdown with the No. 14 Oklahoma State Cowboys in San Antonio, Texas, on Dec. 29.
After ending the season with four straight losses, the Wildcats need to show up to alleviate the hard feelings left but the double-overtime, one-point loss to ASU to end the season.
“Just to go out there and get a win. That’ll be the best thing for us,” cornerback Trevin Wade said. “We kind of want to get back on the win-ning track. That’s been our whole thing the last couple of weeks.”
The Alamo Bowl also represents a shot at re-demption for the Wildcats, who were shutout in the 2009 Paci� c Life Holiday Bowl by Nebraska .
The selection to the Alamo Bowl marks the third consecutive year the Wildcats (7-5, 4-5 Paci� c 10 Conference) have been selected to a bowl game, matching their best streak from 1992-94. The shot to end the season on a high note is something that receiver and Texas-native
David Douglas is eagerly awaiting. “It’s no fun losing games, and I promise you
that anybody who’s a competitor knows the feeling of how it feels to lose four,” Douglas said. “To go through a month of losses is not any fun. We’re still motivated. It’s kind of a new game for us.
“I really couldn’t be any more � red up about playing in a bowl game,” Douglas said.
Arizona is the � rst Pac-10 representative to be selected to the Alamo Bowl since the bowl paid $3 million to replace the Bridgepointe

A uni� ed effort was key for the Arizona women’s basketball team to shake off the road loss at Nevada and rebound to beat the New Mexico Lobos 84-60 last night in Albuquerque, N.M.
“I really proud of our effort to-night,” head coach Niya Butts said in a press release. “The important thing was we kept the pace go-ing. Erica Barnes really gave us a lift with her double-double and Amanda Pierson played some great minutes off the bench. So did Reiko Thomas and Tasha Dickey . They all came in to give us some quality minutes.”
Despite the win, Arizona was without forward Ify Ibekwe be-cause of illness. Barnes took her spot, giving the freshman her � rst start of her collegiate career.
Thomas, who made her season debut and tallied six points, two assists and a steal in 12 minutes of play, was back in action for Arizona after injury had kept her sidelined up until this point.
Davellyn Whyte lead the charge for the Wildcats tallying 24 points , including � ve from be-yond the arc.

Defense essential after early blowout losses to ASU
ICECATScontinued from page A10
Christmas break feeling a little bet-ter about everything.”
Arizona hasn’t played since Nov. 20 when University of Nevada, Las Vegas snapped its six-game win streak with a 7-4 defeat. The team will have only had � ve practices since their last game when it takes the ice on Friday night.
Coach Leo Golembiewski said the loss caused discomfort for him.
“We’re not as happy with the situation as we were because of our lackluster performance against UNLV,” he said. “We felt we were pretty much on a roll after sweeping a very tough Colorado State team.”
Seeing that the team was limited to its time on the ice, Golembiewski said it’s going to be important to be psychologically and prepared for the third-ranked Sun Devils.
“The mental aspect is huge and there’s a lot at stake,” he said. “We have to be able to handle the pressures of playing against a solid club.”
He said that winning this week-end has a major impact on the
Icecats’ hopes for nationals. In or-der to break into the top 16 and qualify, the Icecats have to beat Arizona State.
On the ice, Golembiewski said it will be important to have lock-down goaltending which has been an issue of late. He also said the transitions need to improve and the team needs to avoid mistakes in the middle third of the ice.
But overall, Golembiewski wants to work on everything heading into the series ranging from the power play to line work.
“We’ve got to be strong in the nets. We can’t give up any soft goals and have to be very attentive to the puck wherever it is on the ice and react to it and stop it,” he add-ed. “The defense has been having some hard times getting the puck up and out.”
Murmes agreed, and said that the team just needs to sharpen up all around on defense. Offensively, he has scored 30 points with 12 goals and 18 assists. He’s second place on the team in terms of points.
“Goals will come. We have an
explosive offense and we just real-ly need (to) focus on our defensive aspect because it takes everyone to play it,” Murmes said. “If we play defense it will help our goaltend-ing and defensemen will ultimately lead to us winning.”
Senior co-captain forward Jordan Schupan leads the team with 32 points on 15 goals and 17 assists while sophomore for-ward Jared Lowell has scored 27 points with 10 goals and 17 assists. Sophomore co-captain forward Brian Slugocki is second place in goals scored with 14.
Rodney Haas/Arizona Daily WildcatForward Jordan Schupan and his team-high 32 points have ignited the Icecats’ offensive explosion in recent weeks, but it’s the defense that will be key against ASU this weekend. The Icecats lost their fi rst two games against the Sun Devils at the start of the season.
they’re capable, they need to recapture that team mentality.
Safety Adam Hall diagnosed Arizona’s problem perfectly.
“Individually, there have been some great efforts and as a team we just need to play with some more togetherness,” he said. “We need to bond back together and play like we were in the beginning of the season, because I feel like we played well together and depended on each other. Right now it seems like we’re more playing, and we’re not sure what the person next to us is going to be doing, and that’s a big problem.”
The Wildcats didn’t handle adversity very well down the stretch. The frustration of los-ing took over, and all of that discord came out in an ugly loss to ASU.
But Arizona has 21 days be-fore the Alamo Bowl to right the ship and regain the conti-nuity that characterized this team early in the season. If the Wildcats’ reaction to the ASU loss is any indication, they’re
on the right track. Foles said that after the
game head coach Mike Stoops and strength coach Corey Edmond both addressed the team. But after that, Foles “went around to the guys, and everyone was going around to each other and just doing what teammates do, keep-ing everybody together and I think that will be the key for us the next couple of weeks.”
Arizona also held a players-only meeting in McKale Center on Monday afternoon, which has to be a good sign for a team struggling to regain its bond.
With all that said, the key to the game isn’t to stop OSU’s No. 2 aerial attack. It isn’t to slow down the offense that av-erages 44.9 points per game.
As Foles said, togetherness is going to be the difference — as it was the � rst four games, and as it was the last four.

Education Holiday Bowl as the conference’s second place bowl this year. No. 2 Oregon was select-ed to BCS National Championship and No. 4 Stanford placed in the Orange Bowl , and the selection committee selected Arizona, de-spite the four game slide.
The Wildcats defense, which struggled against the Pac-10’s top opponents like Stanford, USC and Oregon, won’t see any sort of let down against the Cowboys (10-2, 6-2 Big 12 South). Oklahoma State leads the nation in total of-fense with an average 537.58 yards per game.
They also tout the nation’s sec-ond-ranked passing game and the Big 12 rushing leader in running back Kendall Hunter .
Wade said the Wildcats would use the three-week span leading up to the game to work on ball drills and getting their hands on the interceptions against quarter-back Brandon Beedon .
“I think it’s going to be fun for
us because they like to throw and pass and run-and-gun and I think it’ll be a real fun game to get some opportunities,” Wade said.
Despite the gap between game times, some rest may be exactly what Arizona’s defense needs.
While the Wildcats had this week off, they said that focusing once workouts resume is going to be critical to showing up at the Alamodome.
“It’s going to be really impor-tant,” Wade said. “We’re going to have to take every day really seri-ously, like we have that game the next day.”
While preparation will be key for head coach Mike Stoops and the Wildcats, the game could mean more to the 2011 season, at least ac-cording to Douglas.
“It could be something that kick starts and gets us going in the off-season,” he said. “As a team, we know what we’ve got and we’re still a con� dent bunch of guys and we’ll be ready to go.”
Coincidentally, Jordin Mayes didn’t choose his No. 20 jersey at random. In fact, he received the blessing to continue the tra-dition of the double-digit by the Stoudamire’s, who both wore No. 20 while at Arizona.
Damon Stoudamire, who played at Arizona in the early 1990s, shared the backcourt with New York native Khalid Reeves . The Portland-New York duo led the Wildcats to the 1994 NCAA Final Four .
Similarly, Jordin Mayes current-ly splits point guard minutes with New York guard and sophomore Momo Jones . Jordin Mayes believes the two guards are both contribut-ing in similar ways despite the no-tion that they each bring something different to the team.
“I believe we’re kind of the same,” Mayes said. “We both run the team pretty well. We each can push the ball … penetrate and dish, and get everybody involved.
“He’s got that year ahead of me, so he’s got that experience over me,” he added. “But everything’s about the same.”
Remaining schedule
vs. Cal State, Fullerton, tonight at 6:30 p.m.

Most obvious storyline of the year — Arizona plays the Cougars at a neutral site after last year’s BYU route where guard Jimmer Fredette torched the Wildcats for 49 points , nine assists and seven rebounds in McKale Center. How will the Arizona guards defend Fredette this year?

In the � rst true road test of the sea-son, the Wildcats play at an Atlantic Coast Conference school. While the Wolfpack isn’t the crèam of the crop in college hoops’ best conference, UA coach Sean Miller will have a per-sonal reason for a strong showing.
He was an assistant coach in Raleigh from 1996-2001 under current ASU coach Herb Sendek .

ence play looming at the beginning of the new year. Let’s take a look at the Wildcat’s winter break match ups.
The scheduleArizona vs. New Mexico State Dec. 19, 2 p.m.Arizona star Ify Ibekwe will de� -
nitely have her hands full guarding the low post when New Mexico State visits McKale Center. If the Wildcats can force New Mexico to take outside shots and keep up in transition game, than they will be able to hold their own for a complete 40 minutes.
Arizona vs. North TexasDec. 21, 1 p.m.With the dynamic threats of
Davellyn Whyte and Brooke Jackson , the Wildcats perimeter game should be enough for an Arizona win.
Arizona vs. Iona College Dec. 28, 7 p.m.Arizona faces another trivial game on
paper, when the Iona College Lady Gaels come to Tucson. However, as with any mismatch there is always a chance of an
upset. Junior forward Kristina Ford is al-ways a threat to put up big numbers for the Iona.
Arizona vs. OregonDec. 31, 3 p.m.The Wildcats jump into Paci� c 10
Conference play when the Oregon Ducks visit McKale. The routine non-conference schedule is poised to give Arizona some momentum heading into its second hard-est match up of the season, behind the loss at then No. 11 Texas A&M. Last time the Ducks came to Tucson, the contest led to the highest scoring game in Pac-10 wom-en’s basketball history, where Whyte set an Arizona single game scoring record with 39 points. This one’s going to be a shootout.
Arizona vs. Oregon StateJan. 2, 2011, 1 p.m.In it’s second conference match up,
the Wildcats will look to sti� e senior foward El Sara Greer who is a threat for a double-doubles any game. The Wildcats will need to win, especial-ly with more tough conference play ahead.
Arizona at StanfordJan. 6, 2011, 8 p.m.The Wildcats leave Tucson after
the extended home stay and head to Palo Alto, Calif., for their hard-est contest of the season against the Stanford Cardinal. Last season, the Wildcats managed to hold their own against the Cardinal through-out the first half, but seemed to run out of gas in the second. In order for the Wildcats to make it competitive, they’ll have to play hard for the entire game.
Arizona at CaliforniaJan. 8, 2011, 3 p.m.To � nish out winter break, Arizona
stays in Northern California to take on the California Golden Bears in Berkeley, Calif. Cal will be a slight-ly more level game than at Stanford, but Arizona will still have to be in top form. The Golden Bears boast two top-10 conference scoring lead-ers and with the Wildcats’ ability to put the ball in the hoop, this will be another shootout.
