The UA is already down about 12 percent in external funding for grants from this time last year, according to Hart. The sequestration translates to a significant dollar loss — as much as $48 million for fiscal year 2013 in the worst-case scenario, Hart added. “For graduate students who are self-supporting on their fellowships and tuition waivers, this is their livelihood while they pursue their advanced studies,” Hart said. “It will be incumbent on us to find ways to make sure those students have a way to complete their studies.” Some graduate students agreed that problems could result from a lack of federal grants in science and engineering fields. “There are a lot of great research grants, so I’ve had the opportunity to work under a lot of really talented [people] who are well-funded, and that’s important,” said Alandra Kahl, an environmental engineering graduate student. “We are primarily research-based, so if they cut that source of funding, it’s really a huge deal to us.

The UA is bracing itself for further cuts to research funding, as the U.S. is set to enter sequestration Friday .
The UA is supported by competitive grants from agencies that will be affected by sequestration, according to President Ann Weaver Hart . Last year, federal funding for research at the UA totaled $331 million . The impact the sequester could have on research is a major concern.
The U.S. is grappling with more than $16 trillion in debt , and the sequester — a series of automatic cuts to government agencies across the board, totaling about $1.2 trillion over 10 years — has been coming for more than a year.

An app-a-thon will give UA students the chance to win scholarship money by programming on Saturday.
The app-a-thon event, which will be hosted in the Gould-Simpson building in room 906, was put together by the UA organization Women in Information and Computer Science and the UA Information Technology Student Advisory Board.
App-a-thon participants will create applications for the Mi-crosoft PixelSense computers, of which the Main Library now has two, according to Kate Maroney, a computer science sophomore, co-president of WICS and secre-tary of ITSAB.
The PixelSense computers purchased for the school do not come with many applications, so the purpose of the app-a-thon is to create applications for the computers here on campus, Maroney said.
The app-a-thon is open to UA students in teams of one to three members, according to Maroney. There is no entry fee for the competition, and the first through third place teams will receive a scholarship, Maroney said. The first place prize is a $600 scholarship.
“PixelSense in the library can be used for study groups,” said Ami Buczek, co-president of WICS and computer science senior. “Several people can sit around a table and input ideas; they can all write on the PixelSense. It is very much like a giant tablet.”
The app-a-thon is 12 hours long and will be judged by members of WICS and ITSAB, Maroney said.
“Everyone can work on the same screen, so instead of passing around a laptop to work on it [school work], they can all be looking at this huge table and
editing it all at once,” Maroney said.The PixelSense computers use
a programming language called “C#” (pronounced as “C sharp”) that may be unfamiliar to many students . WICS held two classes on C#, and it will put the slides from those classes on its website, Buczek said.
Cindy Trieu, a freshman studying computer science and mathematics and an intern for
WICS, said she plans to compete in the app-a-thon.
“Know what you are good at,” Trieu said, speaking about strategy for the app-a-thon, “so if you are good at bar coding, that should be what you do; if you are good at artwork, maybe you should consider doing the graphics; if you are good at logic, maybe you should be the one who debugs the programmer’s code.”
App-a-thon provides UA scholarship opportunity
Few students spend their semesters preparing for the launch of their own iPhone and Android application while attending class.
But Stephen Ost, a computer science senior, founded the ap-plication Ufree in December of 2011. Ufree is built for collab-orative scheduling, according to Ost, and will officially launch in March. Ufree simplifies schedul-ing by allowing users to plan a meeting based on their friends’ schedules.
“Ufree is all about live availability,” Ost said. “When you look at Facebook, you can see who you can chat, but that’s not getting out in person to meet your friends. Ufree solves that problem and it allows you to leave the Facebook atmosphere and interact face-to-face.”
Ost came up with the idea for Ufree three years ago. “I want [the users of the application] to be able to simplify their day-to-day interactions with their friends, instead of texting and calling to see who is free,” Ost said.
Kaitlyn Macaulay, a commu-nications sophomore, is one of Ufree’s interns.
“[The] UA is a great campus to start out because we have such an active social life,” Macaulay said. “After a while of texting and calling people, your hour break is almost over and can become limited to half an hour. This is a great way to connect our virtual lives with our personal ones.”
The Arizona Center for
Innovation has an internship program that allows Ost to utilize students in preparing for the launch of the application. David Bauer, a marketing junior and an intern for Ufree, said that this application is distinct from those already available.
“Ufree is completely different than Facebook, Instagram and Twitter,” Bauer said. “It is bringing people together on an interpersonal level. Ufree wants to create and accomplish the mission of bringing people together in their free time instead of them usually spending their free time on other social media networks.”
Some students said they saw the potential benefits of the application.
“I think it is going to be helpful in the sense that you can see the live availability of your friends,” said Brittany White, a marketing junior. “For example, if you have a question that you need answered right away, you can check this application to see who you can ask so you are not bothering them.”
An exact launch date for the application is not yet set, but Ost hopes for it to happen after spring break. The release will be held on the UA Mall.
“There are a lot of kids that I see sitting alone on campus during lunch,” Ost said. “It makes me feel good that those students have a person to contact [with Ufree]. We are trying to get everyone to interact more.”

actions can affect others,” said Zach Wik, a business freshman who participated in the alcohol screening .
A lot of students seemed eager to find out how they compared to the average college student, though many already had an idea of where they stood, according to Spencer Gorin, a health educator for Health Promotion and Preventative Services at Campus Health . One third of students at the UA do not even drink, he said.
“It seems like it’s really the 20 percent of students who are doing 80 percent of the drinking,” he added.
In addition to information about safety when using alcohol, the fair also provided students with vital information for staying safe in the sun, staying hydrated and traveling.
The University of Arizona Medical Center had a booth to inform students about the dangers of drinking while participating in water activities, such as boating or swimming.
“We want them to enjoy their spring break, but we want them to do so safely,” Bermudez said.
For students who plan to travel for the upcoming break, Bermudez advised they be aware of their surroundings, travel in groups and know the emergency contacts for the area they will be traveling to.
ourselves on being able to bring students into our research activities from day one,” said Leslie Tolbert , senior vice president for research. “If students don’t find it as easy to participate in that kind of activity, we fear that we won’t get some of the best students we get right now.”
Ed Hendel , a physics senior, toured some of the labs in the UA physics department during his senior year of high school. Hendel decided to come to the UA to study in the biophysics lab run by Koen Visscher and has been working with him ever since.
Hendel also spent the summer of 2012 working in a biophysics lab in the Netherlands through the UA undergraduate biology research program Biomedical Research Abroad: Vistas Open.
“I’ve learned a lot and had a great time doing these research projects,” Hendel said in an email interview, “and I think it’s great that the U of A has interesting research opportunities for undergrads.”
Cuts to funding could leave students without the opportunity to participate in these types of projects.
Funding agencies have been holding back funds in anticipation of sequestration and the agencies are just now putting out guidelines on how they will administer the cuts, Tolbert said.
“We still don’t know exactly how it’s going to go, but what we’re learning is that they [agencies] want to have a minimal impact on the current grants,” Tolbert said. “The huge impact will be on renewing those grants or getting new grants.”
Projected cuts for the National Institutes of Health are about 5 percent, which could significantly impact critical work to discover the causes of disease, Tolbert said. There would also be an impact if a grant loses funding that could result in the loss of staff.
“What we really worry about is losing people from these highly technically knowledgeable teams that work in all of these areas that we get federal funds to work in,” Tolbert said.
The government is still on a continuing resolution until March 27, which means funding won’t actually change until after that date, Tolbert said.
“There’s still a little bit of time for Congress to decide that there are smarter ways to cut the budget than to do an across-the-board cut,” Tolbert added. “We still have some hope that even as sequestration kicks in this Friday, there’s still a couple of weeks for Congress to act.”

Hart: UA faces tuition increase
BRITTNY MEJIAArizona Daily Wildcat
Daily Wildcat: What is the UA budget outlook?
Ann Weaver Hart: For the first time in years, the Legislature is not talking about a reduction in its level of funding support. The proposal from the governor is modest increases, which would be very important for us in trying to move forward to maintain the incredible quality of this great institution.
We are working very closely with members of the Legislature to help them to make the decisions that will support the governor’s budget recommendations or better.
How does the university plan to compete for the limited amount of resources in the state?
We’re trying to work all together and that requires that we accept our role differentiation and our mission differentiation and find ways to adequately and fairly fund the activities that are core to our individual missions.
I’m working very hard with Chairman Rick Myers and the Board of Regents to assure that we all prosper, because this state certainly needs the three universities that we have.
Is there talk of tuition increases?
Yes, and there is a tuition hearing in April here on campus. We had no tuition increase last year and the proportion of our funding that pays for the general and education activities on campus from the state has been dramatically declining over the last five years.
While we save money and find ways to be more effective, we also need to find ways to balance our revenue sources to continue to provide a world-class education.

This week marks the beginning of Pi Kappa Alpha’s fourth annual PIKE Dream Girl Competition. The winner, a UA sorority
member, will receive a $500 scholarship. “The title of a PIKE Dream Girl is one of honor,
and is reserved for women who are not only beautiful, but also inculcate values becoming of a mature and successful woman: Integrity, intelligence, involvement and sincerity,” said Chris Kang, the head of the PIKE Dream Girl Committee.
The process of becoming a Dream Girl is not an easy one: Sorority women from all 12 Panhellenic chapters send in applications, and from there the Dream Girl committee narrows it down to the top 40 women.
After that, the chosen women attend a mixer where they are judged on their personality and connection with the men of PIKE. Once members of PIKE get a feel for the applicants, the pool is narrowed down to 24, then to the top 12.
“We are implementing something new to the competition this year for the Top 12; [a] final presentation, or showcase,” Kang said.
The showcase will include an evening wear portion, a question and answer session and a talent competition.
“If the ladies feel they may lack a talent, we don’t want to hold that against them,” Kang said. “In the past, our top-12 girls have [given] speeches, desserts and presented a video or PowerPoint.”
These ambitious contestants are under a lot of pressure. Engineering freshman Megan Marquiss is a top-40 finalist in this year’s Dream Girl Competition, and she knows firsthand the stress the competition entails.
“I know a lot of PIKEs already, but I thought of this as an opportunity to meet more,” Marquiss said. “PIKE is my favorite fraternity and I wanted to support them. I believe they are looking for a girl who can hang out with the guys and support PIKE no matter what.”
The process to be a Dream Girl is long and intimidating, especially for a freshman who is new to the Greek community, but Marquiss remains
confident despite the fierce competition.
“There are so many gorgeous girls competing with me, but we all carry unique qualities,” Marquiss said. “I am down to earth, and I believe I can be the dream girl the PIKE men are looking for. Also, it always helps that I can flirt.”
The PIKE Dream Girl Competition is renowned throughout the Greek community, but not everyone embraces it wholeheartedly.
“Fraternities are supposed to build men that respect women, not objectify them based on a scale and what letters they wear,” said Chase Dickson, a sophomore and member of another fraternity in UA Greek Life. “It is degrading to the Greek system.”
The competition has been known to cause tension within the Greek community.
“The worst part of the Dream Girl competition would have to be turning girls down and making the cuts the next round,” Kang said. “The last thing we want is to tarnish our relationship with those girls and their houses.”

Students at the University of Alabama were recently denied the opportunity to record a “Harlem
Shake” video on their campus by overzealous campus police.
University police shut down the video shoot and ticketed Nojan Radfar, a freshman at the University of Alabama, for not having a permit, since all student organizations need a permit to hold an event on campus property.
But Radfar isn’t in a student organization. That’s problematic because at the University of Alabama, individual students or unrecognized groups of students cannot apply for a permit, but must be sponsored by a department or student organization.
As though ticketing Radfar for the innocuous video shoot was not enough, the university police allegedly told him to keep his mouth shut about the incident.
“They told me not to talk to the press,” Radfar said. “As of right now, I just have a ticket, but I’m worried I could be expelled.”
If the University of Alabama Police Department told Radfar not to talk to the press, that is unconscionable. That means that the university police not only attempted to restrict Radfar from speaking about the incident, but also tried to block student media from covering the incident.
In a 2010 interview, University of Alabama spokeswoman Cathy Andreen talked to The Crimson White, the University of Alabama’s student newspaper, about why permits are required to hold events on campus.
“We use the Ground Use Permit process to ensure that students, visitors and guests who want to hold events, speeches, rallies or demonstrations on our campus can do so without endangering the safety of our students and the campus community,” Andreen said. “We also want to ensure these events occur without disrupting the university’s ability to educate our students and conduct our daily operations.”
While the safety of the students is extremely important, the university is public, meaning that students have a right to peaceably assemble, as laid out in the First Amendment.
A “Harlem Shake” video might not count as a form of political expression, but it is nevertheless peaceable assembly, and so it needs to be protected. When any government authority tries to bar people from exercising their freedoms, that is dangerous, regardless of the context.
While a private university might have some grounds for curtailing assemblies of students since they are on private property, public universities do not have that argument, and they should not have the right to make decisions or policies that affect students’ First Amendment rights.
Public universities reside on government-owned land, are run and administered by government employees and receive government funding. Public universities are an arm of the government. Can you imagine the government requiring permits to assemble at a public park, or in front of a courthouse?
Although larger events also require permits on the UA campus, our campus police evidently have more common sense than the University of Alabama’s police, and do not attempt to shut down an innocent YouTube video shoot.
In fact, the UA has shown a commitment to the First Amendment on campus. Many people might be offended by the diatribes of preachers on the UA Mall, yet they are allowed to speak.
The University of Alabama should reconsider its attitude toward the rights of its students. This is about more than the “Harlem Shake.”

ONLINE COMMENTSIn response to “Minimum wage increase would boost economy, assist low income families” (by Nathaniel Drake, Feb. 26):
It’s basic economics, man. Raising the minimum wage will only hurt our already fragile economy.
Just because you think giving people more money is a good thing does not equate to “boosting the economy.” Firms will only charge more for their products and hire less people.
This isn’t the government who can just print money and give it to people, this is real-life companies who need to make money to continue to exist. Do some research before you write an article please.
—Learnhoweconmarketswork
A family under the poverty line is given food stamps and WIC and subsidized housing and safelink phones and Medicaid and a whole lot of other government programs. Increasing the minimum wage will not get people out of poverty if they aren’t hired because of job cuts.

FACEBOOK COMMENTSIn response to “Minimum wage increase would boost economy, assist low income families” (by Nathaniel Drake, Feb. 26):
Businesses can’t endure these kinds of hikes without either letting
employees go, increasing costs to consumers or both. Being an idealistic college student and understanding how to run a business are two very different things.
—Shane Dale
I recall living in Tucson when raising min wage was on the ballot (Nov. 1997). Waiters making service staff wages sued the city and initiative sponsors because the effort did not include service staff making only $2 and change plus tips. Further, the increase did not pass.
With the high population in Tucson of min wage earners, I wondered how this prop could possibly have been unsuccessful. Guess that demographic picked a bad election not to exercise their right to vote. Will history repeat itself? Snooze ya loose.
—Matt Minton
*Poorly run* businesses can’t endure these kinds of hikes... fixed that for you. Statistically speaking, the US underpays its lowest paid workers compared to the rest of the world. Don’t worry, there are still McDonald’s in New Zealand.

In response to “Syllabus previews would better prepare students for chosen classes” (by Matthew Casey, Feb. 25):
I totally agree. There should at least be better course descriptions. I ended up in a class entirely on India when it was titled World Ethnographies... this is NOT motivating and honestly a waste of my time and course credit...being a senior in my last semester... it was my only option. Great idea!

A bigger achievement than actually graduating from college is finding a job afterward.
Earning a bachelor’s degree used to make finding a job after graduation a virtual certainty. However, job opportunities have been slowly disappearing, especially since the recent recession.
A lot of money, time and resources are invested in getting the best college education available. Higher education is expensive for everyone. The job market is highly competitive and each university prides itself on its efforts to mold some of the best candidates for the workforce.
UA Career Services attempts to do that by offering a variety of programs and resources such as career fairs, resume referrals and mock interviews, among others, so that students can gain internships and experience, and ultimately land their dream job.
Susan Miller-Pinhey, marketing and special events coordinator for Career Services, said that although her department is relatively small, Career Services has many resources available to students, especially online, such as Wildcat JobLink and numerous job databases. It even offers an alumni page that provides access to some of these programs after graduation.
Although Career Services is valuable on campus, considering what other colleges are doing for their students, the UA could definitely do more to set its students up for success.
Just last week, administrators at Davenport University, a private college in Michigan, began talks about a program that would be a huge step toward ensuring that students have a job upon completion of their degree. The proposed program is part of Vision 2015, a public plan for the future of Northern Kentucky.
In the program being discussed at Davenport University, students would have the option of signing a contract with the university at the beginning of their college career. This contract would include a list of requirements for the student, including a 3.0 GPA, an internship and a willingness to look for a job in a certain area.
The best part of this program is what can be considered a money-back guarantee. If a student signs this contract and successfully meets all these requirements, but does not find a job within their field of study, they can return to Davenport and get more education and training, completely free.
Davenport is not the only college considering offering students this type of deal.
Thomas College in Maine also has a guaranteed job program in place that offers graduates who do not land a job within six months up to two more years of tuition-free schooling.
Not only that, if graduates do not wish to return to Thomas, the college said it will
cover the monthly payment on their federal student loans for up to one year, or until the student finds a job. The student just has to sign a contract that includes maintaining a 2.75 GPA and participating in an internship.
Many degree programs here at the UA have these types of criteria in place for a successful completion of academic study, so it’s not unthinkable that a program like those at Davenport and Thomas could become a reality on campus.
However, Miller-Pinhey said she thinks a type of program like this would only be remotely possible at a state institution like the UA.
“I would say it’s unlikely,” Miller-Pinhey said. “There are just so many variables.”
True, there are many factors that go into a university education, but that does not mean a program like this would be impossible. Rather, it suggests a unique opportunity to create a program tailored specifically to both the capacity and needs of the UA.
The innovative changes occurring across campuses should inspire administrators to discuss and modify these programs to fit their own unique needs while keeping their students’ interests in mind.
This is what an investment should be. Students pour thousands of dollars into getting the best education possible. The university needs to give students their money’s worth.

Streaker with a heart of goldA man who tried to prove his love for an ex-girlfriend by
running across campus naked was stopped by police at 2:18 p.m. on Feb. 22.
University of Arizona Police Department officers noticed the man carrying his clothes in front of his crotch while running on University Boulevard outside of the Space Sciences building.
Police stopped and identified the man, then told him to put his clothes on and stand next to their patrol vehicle. The man obeyed and sat on the curb while being questioned.
The man said that he had cheated on his girlfriend and was upset that she broke up with him after he told her what he did. He decided to show his love for her by running naked from Broadway Boulevard to Speedway Boulevard, but later admitted it “was not a good idea” since people would see him.
While police were talking to the man, UAPD received a report from a UA employee who had seen the man streaking through the grassy area of the Highland Commons but did not wish to pursue criminal charges.
Video and audio of police speaking with the man was sent into evidence from the patrol car camera system.
UAPD also contacted the man’s ex-girlfriend.
Let’s do the time warp againA UA student was cited and released for minor in possession
at 1:10 a.m. on Feb 22 after telling police she had drunk 25 shots and was born in 1949.
UAPD saw a woman in a black dress lying in a dirt area next to the Delta Gamma sorority house and struggling to get up. After getting to her feet, the woman tried to go in a side gate of the house.
As police got closer, they noticed she was bleeding from her mouth and had a fat lip and scraped knees.
When the officers asked the woman for identification, she was “very unsteady” and “wobbly” and didn’t reply.
Police asked again and the student gave her name and said she was born on July 27, 1949. Police asked one more time and she mumbled the same answer.
Finally, she named a date 44 years later.A records check of the name and date of birth the woman
provided matched a UA student from Illinois.The woman seemed reluctant to tell police where she had
been earlier in the evening, but eventually said that she had been at the Delta Chi fraternity.
She hadn’t drunk anything while there, she told police, but admitted to drinking vodka after being asked again. When asked how much she had had to drink, she answered, “25.”
The officer asked again, and the student changed her answer to more than five shots, but less than 10.
The student could not remember what her cuts were from but said they hadn’t happened at Delta Chi.
Police then walked the student to the front of the sorority house and told her she was under arrest for charges of minor in possession.
She was not willing to sign the citation until police told her it was “not a threat, but a requirement,” and that if she refused to sign, she’d be taken to jail.
The student then signed the citation and was released.

No. 10 Arizona (8-2) bounced back from its 3-1 loss Tuesday night to Utah Valley (4-5) with a more characteristic 14-5 victory Wednesday afternoon to split the mid-week series. Unlike in the loss, the Wildcats got timely hitting with runners in scoring position and capitalized on Wolverine mistakes.
“We just flat-out hit the ball better,” head coach Andy Lopez said of the difference between the two games.
Arizona handled its business on the offensive side, scoring 14 runs on 14 hits. Prior to the game, the Wildcats had been averaging 9.1 runs per game.
Along with an explosive offense, Arizona got a solid start from freshman pitcher Cody Moffett (1-0). The southpaw made his first collegiate start Wednesday and went 5.1 innings, giving up two earned runs on 78 pitches.
Even though it lost by nine runs, Utah Valley drew blood first in the second inning after a lead-off single.
But the pesky Wildcats came right back. Centered around a two-run homer by Brandon Dixon, Arizona took a 3-1 lead going into the fourth inning.
Behind Moffett’s arm, the Wildcats didn’t look back, as they grabbed six more runs in fifth inning.
Moffett got the hook with one out in the sixth inning when his pitch count surpassed the predetermined number.
“My cutter was really working for me today,” Moffett said. “I was able to get up on the count and use it effectively.”
Senior Tyler Hale replaced the freshman, and for the second consecutive appearance Hale struggled to locate. The reliever only faced three batters and gave up two singles and a double before fellow senior Augey Bill was called in again to limit the damage. In the end, the Wolverines grabbed three runs in the inning, none charged to Bill.
“Bill developed a cut-fastball since last season and I really think it’s helped him this year with an out pitch,” Lopez said.
Before closer Mathew Troupe could finish off Utah Valley in the top of the ninth, Arizona banged out three more runs thanks to back-to-back doubles by Johnny Field and Dixon, followed up by Trent Gilbert’s second triple of the game.
“Hitting behind Field is great because he takes counts deep and allows me to see lots of pitches on the on-deck circle,” said Dixon, who now has a batting average of .406.
The second baseman, Gilbert, who was the Wildcats’ No. 9 hitter last season, is hitting .375 through 10 games, and leads the team with four triples and 13 RBI. Gilbert, who is now the number five hitter, has also added security to the core of the Arizona lineup by being a threat after Field and Dixon.
Arizona will continue its 18-game home stand Friday night as it hosts the University of San Francisco to begin a three-game weekend series.
“We’re getting better,” Lopez said, “but we still really need to play more tough.”
Defense costs UA in 89-78 loss
tyler besh/ArizonA DAily WilDcAt
ArizonA Point GUArD Mark Lyons scored 14 points in Wednesday’s loss to USC. The Wildcats allowed the Trojans to shoot 61.1 percent from the field and 60 percent from 3-point range.
LOS ANGELES — The last time Southern California and Arizona met, the Wildcats dominated from the opening tipoff to the final buzzer. Wednesday night at the Galen Center, it was a complete role reversal, as the Trojans’ offense scorched No. 11 Arizona en route to a 89-78 victory.
USC (13-15, 8-7 Pac-12), typically one of the worst-shooting teams in the Pac-12, couldn’t miss all game long. The Trojans danced through the Wildcats’ defense with ease, hitting 61.1 percent of their shots and scoring 42 points inside the paint.
Considering Arizona (23-5, 11-5) is supposed to make its living on the defensive end, USC’s offensive efficiency left senior Solomon Hill and the rest of the Wildcats searching for answers.
“Once a guy gets going, a couple guys get going, they feel like any shot is going in,” said Hill, who led Arizona with 21 points and six assists. “We gave a couple of their guys quick open looks and once they got started it was kind of hard for us to slow them down.
“People always say they won’t hit those shots in the second half. But they kept going. We didn’t make them miss.”
After starting hot in the first half, USC somehow managed to hit 65.2 percent of its shots in the second half. All this comes after Arizona ran the Trojans out of McKale Center in a 24-point blowout last time they played in a game where the visitors made just 28.1 percent from the field.
“A collective lack of effort, lack of will, lack of us seeing of what it takes to be a good defensive team — [and] that’s what we are,” head coach Sean Miller said.
“I’m the coach, I have thick skin. It starts with me.”The Trojans led by as many as 13 points in the
second half and even with several runs by the Wildcats, USC never let up. The shots just kept falling for the home team.
After the Arizona’s last game, a 73-56 win over Washington State, Miller warned his team that a major letdown was brewing thanks to the Wildcats’ lackadaisical effort in the second half. With USC ranking in the 200’s for both points per game and shooting percentage, the concerns seemed like a stretch.
But when the final horn sounded, that’s exactly what had happened.
Players can talk all they want about giving a full defensive effort, Miller said, but actually doing it on the court is something completely different.
“You have to be extremely talented to pick and choose how hard you play, from a defensive perspective, and the effort level you give to overcome it,” he said. “We’re not.”
To overcome such hot shooting by the home side, Arizona needed almost everything else to go right. The Wildcats won the turnover battle (17 for USC, 13 for Arizona) and made free throws (23-for-30), but just couldn’t match the Trojans’ offensive output with a pedestrian 40 percent from the field.
“We gotta play better on defense,” said senior Kevin Parrom, who had 16 points on 6-for-9 shooting. “We have a good offense, you can see it, but it’s a matter of playing defense the entire game.”
At the 11:48 mark of the second half, senior Mark Lyons (14 points) cut the game to 62-58 with a pair of free throws. That would be as close Arizona got, as USC answered with a 7-0 run and never looked back.
Trojans forward Eric Wise had his way with the Wildcats inside the paint, scoring a season-high 22 points on 9-for-12 shooting. Four other Trojans joined Wise with double-figure scoring, unexpected from a team that barely cracked 50 when it played in Tucson.
”We wanted high percentage shots,” USC’s head coach Bob Cantu said. “Every time they came back on us, we responded. Eric Wise was tremendous.”
All of it equals Arizona’s fifth loss of the season, a defeat that all but ends the Wildcats’ chances at a Pac-12 championship.

Arizona’s fate no longer rests in its own hands
LOS ANGELES — Solomon Hill stood outside the visiting locker room, leaning up against a wall
as he was surrounded by eight or nine reporters.
After a 89-78 loss to USC on Wednesday night, he was more reflective than dejected.
Hill was shoeless, and his NBA crew socks were a stern reminder of just how little time is left in his Arizona career.
He did all he could on Wednesday night, but it’s no secret that the Wildcats as a whole looked lazy, particularly on defense.
Two years ago, Arizona was swept by UCLA and USC on the same Southern California road trip.
That team was down, but not out. It used that feeling of dejection, of disappointment, and it bounced back. It fought to win the Pac-12 regular season title and made it to the Elite Eight.
Derrick Williams, who was in the crowd on Wednesday, was the star of that squad, but the Wildcats don’t have a star of that caliber, so it remains to be seen how this squad will bounce back.
“It’s kind of hard to explain to the guys the feeling of winning a Pac-10 or Pac-12 championship,” said Hill, who had 21 points and six assists against the Trojans. “Even in the situation where we lost two in L.A. before, we finished strong and we won the Pac-10. Cutting those nets and celebrating in front of your crowd, having to see the setup where we play our last game at home; they don’t understand the situation that we were in. And it’s kind of hard to just tell them.”
The post-game mood was the most depressive the Wildcats have expressed all season.
Grant Jerrett and Kevin Parrom were noticeably upset, and Sean Miller certainly didn’t pull any punches when talking about the Wildcats’ struggles.
“I hate losing, man,” Parrom said. “I hate losing. I just hate losing. Especially being like this, with seniors like me and Solomon.”
Hill’s career is winding down, Parrom’s career is winding down, and so is Mark
Lyons’. Playing “every game like it’s their last”
applies to them more than Jerrett or Kaleb Tarczewski or Brandon Ashley, or even Nick Johnson, a sophomore who has been a leader for these Wildcats but had maybe his worst game at the UA against USC.
It was collectively a lackluster effort, but Hill and Parrom were its saving graces.
They showed effort and grit and a yearning for a W.
The rest of the team didn’t, though, and it hurt them.
Overall, this has been Miller’s best defensive team at Arizona, he said. And when this offense is clicking with this defense, it can be magical.
“But recently,” Miller said, “this is the worst defensive team that I have ever coached.”
For much of the season, USC (13-15, 8-7 Pac-12) might have had the least-efficient offense in the conference.
Arizona destroyed USC a month ago in a 24-point win, the Wildcats’ (23-5, 11-5) most impressive one in conference play.
Before Wednesday, the Trojans were shooting 42.6 percent on the season, or the 212th best total. Their 66 points per game were good for 213th.
On Wednesday, Arizona made them look like a collective Reggie Miller.
The Trojans hit 61.1 percent of their shots (33-of-54), 60 percent of 3-pointers (6-of-10) and 81 percent of free throws (17-of-21) for 89 points.
“Sometimes, when you’re playing in basketball, the Os are bigger than the Xs,” Miller said. “In other words, my guy can’t guard yours. When that happens, it breaks
everything down and so much of tonight was just that. Individual players couldn’t guard their individual assignment.”
After a 14-point thrashing of Washington State on Saturday, Miller was more critical than cheerful, and he lambasted the Wildcats’ second-half defensive effort.
For 40 minutes the defensive effort was, well, bad.
The whole “controlling their own destiny” mantra is a bit overused, but losing to an average USC squad took control away from the Wildcats.
Now, it’s out of their hands.They just need Oregon to lose, and the
Wildcats need to win out. “I just don’t like that feeling,” said
Parrom, who scored 16 points. “I like to control my own destiny.”

Senior thrower Julie Labonté makes it look easy.
Throughout her colle-giate career, she’s been an indoor and outdoor All-American. She’s been an NCAA indoor and outdoor champion. And most re-cently, she added another first-place finish to her three MPSF champion-ships in the shot put event.
But even though Labonté has had great success on the track and field team, she’s also had her fair share of challenges.
Labonté came to Ari-zona from Sainte-Justine, Québec. Labonté said the UA was a big change from her small town of 2,000 people.
Not only that, but Labonté’s native language was French. She had to learn a whole new language when she moved to Tucson.
“It’s been really different,” Labonté said. “It was really hard at first, but I’ve been having great years here at the UA, so I don’t regret anything.”
Head coach Fred Harvey said Labonté never showed signs of a struggle in her training. Her talent and determination were clear from the very beginning.
“Obviously learning a whole new language would set some athletes back, but it was clear from her first semester here that she continued to make progress academically and athletically as well,” Harvey said.
Labonté started training when she was 16 years old. She competed during high school in meets in Boston and New York, and traveled to Europe and Asia to compete as well.
Throughout that time, she trained with her father.
But when she moving to Tucson, she was presented with the challenge of trusting her new coach, Labonté said.
However, this didn’t affect Labonté’s attitude in the slightest. Harvey said that what stands out about Labonté is her willingness to accept constructive criticism and her ability to be a team player.
Labonté’s success and growth with her new coaching staff has been evident since her freshman year.
“It’s incredible,” Harvey said. “Her work [throwing] with coach [Craig] Carter and being able to make the jump from being a
highly recruited athlete to a national champion is very huge.”
All of Labonté’s challeng-es seemed irrelevant when she competed in the 2012 Olympic Games, represent-ing her home country of Canada.
“It was amazing,” Labonté said. “Being a part of that and representing my country is the best experience I’ve had in my life.”
Labonté said she hopes that she can become a professional thrower after graduating. She said she wants to seek sponsorship and ultimately return to the Olympic Games in 2016 and 2020.

Slow and steady wins race for UA
Head baseball coach Andy Lopez coaches with a mindset similar to that of a cross-country runner.
He views the baseball season as a marathon, rather than a sprint.
The two-time national champion breaks up the 56-game season into increments of 10.
“It’s a good way to get the team focused on the task at hand and not worry about games weeks down the road,” Lopez said.
Arizona’s (8-2) 14-5 victory over Utah Valley on Wednesday afternoon was its 10th game of the season. The defending national champions entered the season with a top-25 ranking, but some doubts about another successful season after losing six starters from the 2012 roster.
Now, 10 games into the 2013 season, Lopez and the Wildcats are optimistic.
That being said, the team still needs a gut check.
“Offensively, we need to start having downhill strokes,” Lopez said. “We are swinging up and hitting it up too much and in a ball park like Hi Corbett that’s just not going to cut it. Usual homerun swings are routine fly balls.”
Through the first 10 games, Arizona has started an average of three freshmen a game. Shortstop Kevin Newman, first baseman Ryan Koziol and left fielder Scott Kingery lead the Wildcats with the most at-bats so far this season (99). The three have a combined batting average of .252 and 27 RBI.
Last season, the Wildcats only started two position freshman, second baseman Trent Gilbert and catcher Riley Moore, both of whom made strong contributions to Arizona’s title run.
“I don’t think they play as freshman,” junior Brandon Dixon said about this year’s freshman group. “We really try to keep it simple for them because in the end, it’s [the] same game that they played in high school.”
This week Lopez got good news when one of
his prized 2012 high school recruits, 12th round draft pick Jackson Willeford, was cleared to hit after injuring his elbow earlier this year. The infielder has still not been cleared to throw.
In 2012, the Wildcats’ pitching rotation was driven by ace and eventual sixth-round draft pick junior Kurt Heyer, with sophomores Konner Wade and James Farris working the middle and back of the weekend rotation. The rotation took time to develop, but by the end of the season it helped Arizona finish the season with an 11-game winning streak and the fourth national championship in school history.
With Heyer gone, Wade and Farris have taken command of the Friday and Saturday spots in the rotation. And what Lopez called a “solid” performance last Sunday from his preseason favorite, Stephen Manthei, has solidified the Sunday starting job for now.
“If conference play were to start today, I’d be happy with our rotation and with [Mathew Troupe] coming out to close,” Lopez said.
Wade, Farris and Manthei have collected six starts through 10 games this season. Opposing batters are hitting .208 off the three weekend starters.
Lopez’s biggest concern so far has been the team’s toughness. He has said in the past that one of the keys to being a successful team is having guys who can be bulldogs, especially on the pitching staff.
“You got to have heart when you get out there and believe in yourself,” Lopez said. “You can’t be afraid and hide. Definitely not when you’re a pitcher.”
At this point last season, the Wildcats had a similar 8-2 record, lineup and rotation. Johnny Field and the experienced players in the middle led the lineup,
while the front of the pitching staff was solid, and the back was still being tweaked.
Although six starters from last year’s national championship team left to play professionally, they have been replaced.
And though it will be nearly impossible to top all of 2012, the season is still on track to be successful.
“There’s a lot we can do better,” Dixon said. “But we’re just starting to get guys used to their new roles and I think if we continue to work on those things than we can be pretty dangerous.”

Talk - ‘Open Science: Accelerating the Pace of Scientifi c Discovery’: Scholar, researcher and author Michael Nielsen not only made signifi cant research contributions in the fi eld of quantum physics but also co-wrote the popular “Quantum Computation and Quantum Information.” Nielsen left academia to focus his research on open science and recently published “Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science” – a book that discusses the internet’s ability to “amplify our collective intelligence” and the cultural obstacles of the scientifi c community impeding this dramatic shift.

Why I work here: Working here for four years has given me a lot to be thankful for. I know what it takes to be a leader and run an organization. KAMP has given me a huge in-sight to the business world of fi ne art, broadcasting, and public service. Tune in. Turn up. KAMP out.

Why I work here: The people and the environ-ment! The Wildcat has provided me with unreal work experience that other college students rarely fi nd. I have learned so much and can’t imag-ine another place I’d rather work on campus.
Why I work here: I am a third generation cowgirl and have com-peted in rodeo my whole life. Being a part of the western industry taught me about promot-ing that lifestyle. I have known since junior high I wanted to go into broad-cast journalism. Being a part of UATV is an out-standing opportunity to start off what will hope-fully be a long career.
