Housing affordability on the rise Economic report from Eller shows market is good for potential buyers By Will Ferguson DAILY WILDCAT

The Tucson housing market is ripe for plunder and now is the time to buy, according to Eller economist Marshall Vest, the author of the Eller College of Management’s 2012-2013 Economic Outlook Report. The housing market is one of

several economic sectors that the report, updated quarterly, identifies as being on the rebound after a multipleyear slump. Vest said a lack of new housing in the city combined with low interest rates are driving demand and home price appreciation up. “Additionally, the cost of housing compared to household income is the best it has been going back a couple of decades,” he said. “Housing affordability stands at the highest level it has ever been.” Vest said the current market is a result of fallout from when the

housing bubble burst in 2007. “Before 2007, lenders and most homebuyers were working on the assumption that housing prices would go up indefinitely,” he added. “Everyone wanted to buy and no one wanted to rent.” He said the current market is the flip side of the coin. People would rather rent than buy due to what they perceive as a market still in the midst of a collapse. “Homebuyers asked themselves, ‘Why put money in an asset where the price is declining?’” he said. “But I

think that has started to change in the last few months. We are now seeing prices beginning to go back up.” Vest said housing affordability has been so good in 2012 that, in fact, the monthly cost of owning a home is comparable or even lower than the monthly cost of renting. David Fotheringham, a Tucson realtor for Ability Rental Homes, said options such as the FHA Kiddie Condo Loan Program allows parents to purchase a home with an initial down payment of as little as 3.5 percent, as compared to a 20 percent

industry standard. “We are pretty close to the bottom end of the market,” he said. “With the really low interest rates being offered for qualified buyers it is absolutely possible to make money off a home purchase in as little as four years.” Vest said the downside to the current buyer’s market is the difficulty for many would-be homeowners to obtain financing. “Lenders are very cautious and require all kinds of documentation

International students share cultures with festival on Mall By Brittny Mejia DAILY WILDCAT

Colorful flags, traditional dress, food and dance were just some of the cultural presentations offered at the Center for English as a Second Language’s International Festival on Thursday. Flags representing different countries hung in a tent on the UA Mall. Students from the center stood by their countries’ sections, providing information about their culture and customs. The event, which began at

10 a.m., provided attendees with the opportunity to speak with students from the center and learn about their hometown experiences. Some visitors had their names written in different languages, while others enjoyed Arabic tea or packaged snacks from different countries. “The best thing is that we can show our culture to people that don’t know about Mexico and hope they like Mexico,” said Odaliz Solis, who has been studying at the center for nine months and helped represent the Mexican cultural group.

At each table, students answered questions about their country and explained some of their stories. Visitors were free to try the food from different countries and enjoy a blend of music from different cultures playing on the stage. Crowds gathered throughout the day to watch some of the cultural groups perform traditional dances, as well as to hear performers sing in their native tongues. Each performance received a round of applause from the crowd. Despite the heat, some of the center’s teachers and lecturers noted

the benefits of hosting the event outside. This is the first year the event was not housed in the Center for English as a Second Language. “There’s a lot more traffic coming through and a lot more people asking questions,” said Kate Van Roekel, an adjunct lecturer in CESL who helped the Middle East cultural group organize its presentations. “It actually feels like a festival.” UA students and local elementary students alike attended the festival. “I think this is great for the young

Legislators, community members promote support and honor for Israel Religious group holds event to advocate peace in Middle East By Brittny Mejia DAILY WILDCAT

An American flag, an Arizona flag and an Israeli flag were placed atop a stage at the third annual “Night to Honor Israel” event, a call to the nation to stand in support of Israel. Students, parents, legislators and community members joined together to hear speakers discuss the need to support Israel on Thursday night. The event, hosted by the Christians United For Israel group, featured David Brog, the group’s

executive director, and a variety of speakers. “What we want to do is involve the campus and the community to get them to work together in order to raise awareness about how important it is to support Israel,” said Fernanda Winchester, a history senior and vice president of the group’s campus chapter. For the first time, the event was fully bilingual, allowing more community members to learn about Israel or voice their support. The event was also free to the public. “In the Bible, it speaks about how if we unite and fight for Israel, then God will bless us, because Israel is the kingdom of God,” said Arcelia Gutierrez, a senior at Amphitheater

High School. “We want to support Israel.” The event itself began with the American national anthem, followed by the Israeli national anthem. When speakers took the stage, each commented on the challenges faced in Israel and the need for those in

America to continue their support. State Sen. Gail Griffin and state Rep. Ted Vogt discussed a resolution that voiced support for Israel. Vogt also emphasized the need for America and Israel to stand together. Brog was one of the last to speak. He thanked legislators and community members for attending. He also emphasized the reasons why the community should support Israel and why it is in America’s best interest to have a strong allied Israel confronting shared enemies in the Middle East. “Ultimately, supporting Israel is not only in our own self interest because it keeps our bodies alive,” Brog said. “Supporting Israel is in our best interest because it saves our souls.”

Greek Life aims for $35K for St. Jude’s By Stewart McClintic Daily Wildcat

In its fifth consecutive year on campus, organizers of the all-greek philanthropic event Up ‘til Dawn plan on fundraising $10,000 more than last year. The event, which benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, aims to raise $35,000, said Elizabeth Graham, chair of the event and a junior studying retailing and consumer sciences. Up ‘til Dawn, Graham said, raises money for donations by sending letters. The registration fee is $5, and all those who are registered must show up to the event with as many addresses from friends and family as they can gather. Participants then address the letters at the event and stuff them with an automated message that asks for donations. The event was largely successful,

raising $25,000 last year, Graham said. About 500 people registered, but this year the organization hopes to exceed that number before registration closes on Friday. The $5 registration fee also offsets most of the event’s cost, Graham said, and St. Jude’s covers the rest. Because the event runs mostly from donations, keeping operational costs low is easy, she added. Jayna Nance, the event’s marketing representative for the hospital, said the donations allow the families of sick children to use the hospital’s resources for free. The donations also pay for these families’ air and hotel fare, Nance said, in addition to research conducted at the hospital that is shared with hospitals worldwide. “One child saved at St. Jude is thousands throughout the world,” she said. Up ‘til Dawn will also replace CATwalk, a 5K walk on campus to

support cancer research, as the Greek Life-wide philanthropy starting next year. CATwalk was the greek philanthropy for 11 consecutive years. “I think Up ‘til Dawn is a great event,” said Megan Stolberg, the event’s executive director and a business management senior. “We have seen a lot of growth, and we were voted to be the all-greek philanthropy for next year. This would be great to help St. Jude.” Since the event’s inception at the University of Memphis, Nance said, Up ‘til Dawn has spread to more than 250 college campuses nationwide, and raises more than $3.4 million annually for the hospital. It is the biggest collegiate philanthropy event that the hospital participates in every year, she added.

as to your credit record, your income, stability and so forth,” he said. “So for students and recent graduates, purchasing a home could be problematic.” To top things off, Vest pointed out that rent for student housing has been on the rise this year as well. “Rent at apartment complexes has been going up pretty significantly,” he said. “So for the students or families of students who can afford it, the balance is in favor of homeownership.” Joleen Swift, a 2006 UA graduate and office manager for UniversityApartments.net, said the rental rates for apartments her company lists in close proximity to the university have gone up by about 4 percent this year. She said one-bedroom lofts two blocks from campus are going for $675 per month.

for her global communications class. “I think Americans are kind of censored about other cultures and we need to open up our minds a little bit more.” Other students participating in the festival commented on the increased visibility by hosting the event on the Mall, as well as the pride they felt through teaching others about their culture. “I think this is better than last year, because this is on the Mall and anyone on campus can see this,” said Meshael Al Ahmadi, who has studied at CESL since 2010. “The best thing is that people can know about my culture and my traditions and ask me about anything.”

unable to purchase a home outright, there are still many affordable apartment and home rental options around the university. He said there are multiple listings for under $400 a month.

It gets pretty rambunctious,” she said. “The three of us pay around $550 per month apiece.” Jenny Fink, a communication sophomore, said she plans to leave her on-campus housing to live at NorthPointe Student Apartments, where she is signing a five-month lease at $500 a month. Vest said the Eller College of Management will release its next midyear economic report this June at the Westin La Paloma Resort. “Our predictions are considered to be among the best by our peer institutions in the Western states,” he said. “We will go over the recent trends, and I will offer a forecast that I put together using econometric models, to forecast the economy.”

Longtime UA employees UC Davis police awarded for their service chief quits after critical reports

By Kevin Reagan Daily Wildcat

To salute 972 employees, the UA hosted its annual Service Awards Luncheon on Thursday. The Grand Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center was filled with nearly 1,000 faculty members who have been employed with the UA for at least 10 years. Employees from nearly every department were recognized at the invitation-only event for their contributions to the university. “You honorees have given us the treasure of time with your intellect,” said Jacqueline Mok, senior vice president for Academic Affairs and provost in addition to the master of ceremonies for the luncheon. Each guest was given a catered lunch and a hand-wrapped present, which varied on the number of years they have been employed by the university. A 10-year employee was awarded an engraved pen and letter opener, while a 30-year employee was given a treasure box with Old Main engraved on the front. Three employees who have worked at the UA for 45 years received a digital photo frame. Honorees also had the opportunity to have their picture taken with UA President Eugene Sander after receiving their gift.

Members of the UA administration, including President Eugene Sander and Provost Jacqueline Mok, attend a ceremony on Thursday honoring longtime employees.

Raffle prizes were also awarded sporadically during the ceremony, and gifts donated from various departments like the UofA Bookstore and Visitor Center were handed out to attendees. Though honorees said they appreciated the gifts, some found pleasure in getting to know colleagues at the luncheon. “Sometimes there are familiar faces,” said Daniel Mottola, an administrative assistant in the Office of Institutional Equity, “so it’s great to be able to match some names with a face.”

The planning stages of the event began last December, with the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America and Fidelity Investments serving as sponsors. The two companies provide various retirement options to UA employees. “Sometimes a simple ‘thank you’ can be as important as a monetary gift,” said Kathy Hawkes-Smith, director of university events in the Office of Community Relations. Smith was the chief coordinator of the luncheon and said she was impressed by the amount of dedicated employees each year.

LOS ANGELES — A week after a scathing investigative report criticized her leadership in the pepper spraying of student demonstrators last year, the University of California, Davis, campus police chief has resigned, a university spokesman said Thursday. Annette M. Spicuzza, who has headed the UC Davis force since 2005, had been on paid administrative leave since soon after the Nov. 18 incident in which campus police pepper-sprayed student protesters at close range. She sent her resignation letter to the university Wednesday, said campus spokesman Barry Shiller. Last week, a UC task force probing the controversial actions in the handling of the demonstrators blasted Spicuzza for running a “dysfunctional” department, and declared that her officers’ actions were wrong. A separate internal investigation by the campus police department is reviewing possible disciplinary actions

against the chief and several officers, including Lt. John Pike, who is seen spraying the students in a much-viewed online video. Shiller said that internal probe was nearing completion but that he did not know whether Spicuzza had been told of any proposed disciplinary action against her. Pike and another officer remain on paid administrative leave, Shiller said. Spicuzza reportedly sent an email to The Sacramento Bee in which she said the spraying and investigation led to her departure. “As the university does not want this incident to be its defining moment, nor do I wish for it to be mine. I believe in order to start the healing process, this chapter of my life must be closed,” she wrote. Spicuzza has had a 27-year career in law enforcement. She came to UC Davis after serving as assistant police chief at the University of Washington. Before that, she worked in municipal departments in Washington state and Illinois.

Social networks outsmart games Caroline Nachazel DAILY WILDCAT

martphone games are at the top of app store charts. It is scientifically proven that some of these downloadable games are actually not a waste of time and, if played correctly, make people smarter. But even this good news for avid game players does not outshine the satisfaction that smartphone users get out of social media. According to a study done by the University of Calgary, games like “Words With Friends” are mentally stimulating. “Words With Friends” is the virtual edition of Scrabble, where playing longer and more complicated words scores more points. The study found that students’ vocabularies improve if they take time to look up unfamiliar words. Findings also indicated that players recognize English words 20 percent faster than non-players whether they look up the words or not. The study does not indicate a correlation between higher test scores and playing games on a smartphone. Excessive playing of the game will not play a factor in doing well on the language sections of the GRE or LSAT. However, the study does prove that the types of activities becoming more popular on phones and tablets are ones that exercise the brain. Zynga, the genius creators of “Words With Friends,” recently purchased OMGPOP, the creators behind “Draw Something,” the 2012 version of hangman. “Draw Something” has been downloaded around 1 million times each day since its Feb. 13 launch, and “Words With Friends” has remained in the top 10 list of apps since its 2010 launch, according to data from Tech Crunch. These numbers are a high score for the gaming industry. On the other hand, Instagram just reached 40 million users after being purchased by Facebook — an impressive feat considering the company’s only 18 months old. “While those games may be stimulating, Facebook and Instragram are different. The game connects to your friends through a quirky, fun, back-and-forth action where Facebook applies to your life, and your activities to all of your friends,” said Roy Peer, an architecture junior. “You can communicate, talk and find love on Facebook. Making a word that gets you 60 points on ‘Words With Friends’ will just show that you’ve taken English 101.” Walking through campus, it’s practically impossible to crash into someone whose attention is focused on their phones more than walking. Whether it is Facebook, Instagram, or stimulating games like “Words With Friends,” people spend a lot of time on their smartphones, especially college students. With scientifically proven data indicating that games are mentally stimulating, there is a high possibility that a shift in smartphone activity may occur. But a comparison between games and social media apps will never be a fair one. Scrolling through an Instagram newsfeed filled with pictures of friends doing absolutely nothing worthwhile will always be entertaining regardless of how nonstimulating it is. In an ideal world, games will take over phones due to their potential to make people a little smarter, but until social media dies, games will never be the highest scorer. — Caroline Nachazel is a junior studying journalism and communication.

CAT TRACKS TRENDING UP

Seedy eight: The Republican primary for Congressional District 8 has ended and, as expected, 2010 nominee Jesse Kelly will move on to face Democrat Ron Barber, former aide of Gabrielle Giffords, who resigned after being shot on Jan. 8, 2011. Unfortunately, this fact hasn’t stopped Democrats from saying Kelly is “on the warpath against Arizona’s middle-class families,” and Republicans from saying Barber will be just a “rubber stamp” in Washington. It’s nice to see that it’s back to politics as usual. Green Party candidate Charlie Manolakis is starting to look pretty good right about now. Vatican getting cross with nuns: The Vatican conducted an investigation into the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, a group that represents 80 percent of nuns and sisters in the U.S. and found that members spread “radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith,” according to a report released on Wednesday. Specifically, the report says American nuns question the Catholic church’s teachings on sexuality. Oh? What teachings? That homosexuality is a sin? That priests and nuns shouldn’t be allowed to marry? That everyone who uses contraceptives is a ho fo sho? Maybe the Vatican has a point. After all, if there’s anyone who would understand the complexities of the feminist movement, it would be an 85-year-old man who spends the majority of his time in Italy.

In Her Majesty’s Not-so-Secretive Service: More Secret Service agents are expected to resign amid an ongoing investigation into a prostitution scandal in Colombia. Three agents have already resigned during the fallout, which began over an alleged pay dispute between a Secret Service agent and a Colombian prostitute. While many are focusing on how this might strain the relationship between the two countries or jeopardize President Barack Obama’s security, what is far more interesting is why this agent broke the cardinal rule of prostitution: You always have to pay for the lay. Maybe they’ll garnish the agent’s pension to pay the lady of the evening back. Venti with room, hold the insects: Starbucks has announced that it will begin the process of transitioning away from the use of cochineals, a scale insect found in Central and North America, to provide dye in the company’s inexplicably popular Frappuccino drinks. Cliff Burrows, the president of Starbucks, wrote a blog post announcing the company’s intentions on Thursday. According to Burrows, the dye is used in Starbucks’ strawberries and crème Frappuccino, strawberry banana smoothie, raspberry swirl cake, birthday cake pop, mini donut with pink icing and red velvet whoopie pie. This, of course, raises the questions: What, in the name of all things holy, is a Whoopie Pie? And why would I ever want it anywhere near my mouth?

While experts in the climate fields say that there is a serious problem, some people seem to think that these scientists are out to trick them. Even former presidential candidate Rick Santorum echoed this ridiculous stance. When someone makes a Facebook status that says “it’s freezing today, so much for global warming,” scientists around the globe cringe a little. When the government begins to seriously change the way it handles climate change, it may be able to take steps to reducing temperature. Monti calls the global energy crisis the Manhattan Project of our time. There are many problems in the immediate future that the government has to deal with. They have to fix a wayward economy, end a war and try to fix health care, but none of these things will matter if we don’t stop the climate crisis. “Cancer is important but it can wait,” Monti said. “Climate change is important but it cannot wait.” — Dan Desrochers is a chemistry freshman.

Police Beat By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Third-degree escape

University of Arizona Police Department officers were patrolling campus in a golf cart when they noticed a student stumbling out of a gray Chevrolet truck at 12:38 a.m. on Saturday. The truck drove away, and officers caught up with the man, who continued to stumble along the street. When officers asked the man how he was doing, he said he was fine. Officers noticed the smell of alcohol coming from his breath and that he had red, watery eyes. His speech was slurred. Officers asked the man to sit on the curb and where he lived. The man told them he lived in a nearby residence hall, and asked how much longer he had to wait on the curb. Officers told him they just needed to grab some paperwork from their golf cart, and then he could leave. As officers began walking to the cart, the man jumped up and ran to his residence hall. Officers followed him. When they reached the elevator, the doors opened and the man was standing there. The man asked if they were looking for him, and officers immediately searched and arrested him. He was taken to Pima County Adult Detention Center for minor in possession of alcohol in body and third-degree escape. He was referred to the Dean of Students Office for a Code of Conduct violation.

A hurting hand

UAPD and Tucson Fire Department responded to a call from a student in Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall. The man had punched a window and slashed his wrist at 5:12 a.m. on Sunday. When officers arrived, they saw blood in the restroom, on the windows and the ground. There were also paper towels soaked in blood. They met with the man, who was surrounded by his friends and had his arm wrapped in paper towels. His friends told officers that he had lost a lot of blood and needed to be taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center. While he was taken to UAMC, some officers stayed behind. They saw three empty beer cans on the desk next to the broken window. The officers went to the medical center to question the man. He told them he was not trying to hurt himself or others, but was very upset due to some personal family issues he was having. He refused to tell officers what the issues were, but told them he went to a party to clear his head, then decided to go home. He said he took three beers from the party back to his dorm and drank them in his room. After drinking the beers, he said, he leaned against the window with his hands but leaned too hard. He told officers that the window probably broke because he was drunk and didn’t realize what he was doing. Officers cited the man for minor in possession of alcohol in body and criminal damage. He was referred to the Dean of Students Office for a Code of Conduct violation.

IMAGE COURTESY OF CLUB CRAWL

Biannual Club Crawl hits ground running downtown By Greg Gonzales DAILY WILDCAT

Twice a year, Tucsonans stumble en masse from stage to stage along Congress Street in a drunken frenzy. They look kind of like zombies, but they’re louder and more fun, and they feed on the confections of local vendors rather than flesh. This scene is called Club Crawl. In its 19 years as one of Tucson’s biggest showcases of local talent, Club Crawl has also served as one of the premier drinking events of the year. “It just happens to be a party with live music,” said Jeb Schoonover, one of the founders. According to Schoonover, the event was originally called Showcase Shuffle when it started in PHOTO COURTESY OF CLUB CRAWL 1993.

s the semester winds down, students all over campus are planning how to prepare for finals. Most will put together study guides, or read the class materials they were supposed to have looked at weeks ago. I’m going to play a lot of video games. It isn’t that my finals aren’t hard, or that I don’t have a lot of them. So how is it that I have the audacity to do something recreational instead of studying? Video games help you think critically. Video games are seen as a diversion, but in reality, they are one of the most effective methods for getting people to think critically in today’s society. I doubt if given the choice between having to analyze data for a paper in class and figuring out the best way to beat a video game that anyone would choose the former. It’s mostly because one is seen as a chore and the other a form of entertainment. But it doesn’t matter as long as the person in question is thinking. Now, some video games can be tedious or mindless, but that isn’t always the case when looking at the details. Take “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” for example. Any idiot can jump onto the multiplayer, pick a gun, aim it and shoot. That idiot can also have some degree of success but their chances are pretty low. To raise them, a player has to consider a lot of factors. What gun suits my play style best while being the most effective? What perks are going to complement my weapon? Are there any upgrades available which can make me more effective? How should I approach the battlefield? Do I hang back and pick people off from a distance or try to maneuver around the map and surprise other players from behind? That’s just a sliver of the thought process for creating one class in “Call of Duty,” not to mention that there are four more classes to create and dozens of maps to be considered. The amazing thing is that, despite how much time that might take for the untrained gamer, thousands of college students answer the above

questions in minutes and do so effectively. It takes some time, sure, but after a few hours of playing, a person starts to get the idea — almost like studying. If that example doesn’t do it for you, think about the choices made in a good role playing game. Look at “Mass Effect 3.” If a player takes the game seriously, it can be an excellent tool in teaching the consequences of military and political decisions. Do you cure the disease that has reduced the birth rate of a highly violent species to almost zero so that they’ll fight in your war? If you win and they survive, can you afford to risk the safety of the galaxy in peacetime? Then there’s the question of who deserves to live more — the emergent and generally peaceful artificial intelligences or the organic beings that created and subsequently tried to kill the AIs? Will your decision depend on the personalities of the two parties or do your loyalties automatically go to the organics because they’re more recognizable as alive? Just think of what it would be like if teachers could get students to consider so many options critically in the classroom instead of in a video game. No one would fail a class again and the world would be full of geniuses. Some might consider expecting teachers to integrate this kind of media in a college setting ahead of its time. But is it? The video game just serves as a jumping off point. Instead of thinking of gaming as a way to distract yourself from work, think of it as a way to spark your critical thinking. If you do pick the right game — one that’s both fun and thought provoking — studying or writing a paper should be much easier. Creative ideas will appear out of nowhere and the difficulty of finals will evaporate. At least that’s how it’s been for me the past three years. Maybe I’m on to something, I don’t know. — Jason Krell is the assistant copy chief. He can be reached at arts@wildcat.arizona.edu or on Twitter via@WildcatArts.

Reeling Wildcats head to UW Struggling UA bullpen will look to bounce back against Huskies By Dan Kohler

amy webb / Daily Wildcat

Junior pitcher Stephen Manthei winds up against North Dakota State during the season opener in February. While the Wildcats remain tied for first in the Pac-12 Conference, the bullpen has struggled all season long.

Daily Wildcat With the tumultuous season that the No. 13 Arizona baseball team’s bullpen has had, head coach Andy Lopez has been able to count on Wildcat relievers Mathew Troupe and Stephen Manthei to anchor the end of the game. At least until Tuesday, against ASU. Manthei only lasted one and two-thirds innings, giving up three earned runs. Troupe came on to relieve and things got even more disastrous, as he gave up four runs without recording an out. That gave way to the Wildcats blowing an 8-5 lead in a game they ended up losing 12-8. “They had a rough night, they’ll be fine, they’re young guys,” Lopez said, “They’ll bounce back.” The entire team expects Manthei and Troupe to be back and ready to go this weekend. After all, it is just a game. “There’s cancer, there’s people

Niya Butts reacts to Pat Summitt’s retirement By Zack Rosenblatt

Quarterback Matt Scott hands the ball off to running back Ka’Deem Carey in this year’s spring game. The Wildcats are adjusting to a new tempo in Rich Rodriguez’s offense.

Arizona football adjusting to new offensive tempo By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat It’s no secret that the Arizona football team will have a drastically different offense this year. Gone are the air-raid days of old that regularly saw Nick Foles throw the ball 40 or 50 times a game. Putting the ball in the air on third- or fourth-and-short is likely gone by the wayside. Back-pylon fades inside the 5-yard line won’t be nearly as common. But a change in the schemes themselves isn’t the only difference. There’s also a change in philosophy. Sure, Arizona relied on a no-huddle last season under offensive coordinator Seth Littrell. But it wasn’t the complete chaos that the Wildcats hope to create in the seconds between each play this season. “Last year, we spent too much time signaling to the receivers over here, signaling to the receivers over there,” quarterback Matt Scott said. “We didn’t get a chance to get that fastpaced tempo.”

Head coach Rich Rodriguez called a huddle “the biggest waste of time in football,” and the Wildcats hope their frenetic pace on offense can have the same effect that Oregon’s offense does on a defense — leading opponents to fake injuries, call unnecessary timeouts and be caught off guard at the snap of the ball. The frenzied pace of the offense between snaps can also lead to a number of mismatches, giving Arizona’s athletes a chance for a big gain on any given play. “This offense just sets you up for success,” running back Ka’Deem Carey said. “There’s holes everywhere. You’re gonna make a play when there’s nothing there. That’s just what this offense is designed to do.” But that pace was nearly impossible for the Wildcats to achieve during Rodriguez’s first spring in Tucson, and Scott said the tempo never got to where he wants it to be. Rodriguez said

Daily Wildcat She’s won more games than Bobby Knight, John Wooden and Lute Olson. She has eight NCAA national championship rings, second only to Wooden in college basketball history. For Pat Summitt, the legendary Tennessee women’s basketball coach, the list of accomplishments goes on and on. On Wednesday, her storybook coaching career came to an end as the NCAA’s (men or women) all-time winningest coach stepped down as head coach of the Lady Volunteers after 38 years. Longtime UT assistant coach Holly Warlick has been promoted to replace her. Arizona head coach Niya Butts played for Summitt at Tennessee from 1997-2000, and was a part of two of Summitt’s eight championship teams. But, Butts said, Summitt’s legacy is not limited to her impact on the basketball court. “She helped this game grow tremendously,” Butts said. “She touched so many lives, including mine, and she is the ideal coach, the ideal woman … She’s legendary. She’s done things in our game that will never be done again. And if you can’t appreciate that, you can’t appreciate basketball. Not just women’s basketball, but basketball.” Vacating the head coaching position she’s held for the Volunteers for nearly four decades did not come as a huge surprise to many, including Butts. On Aug. 23, Summitt revealed that she had been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type. “It’s hard to believe it’s happening,” Butts said. “But obviously ev-

As to be expected at this point from the Clarksville,

Castany, W-Tennis hosts ASU in season finale By Iman Hamdan Daily Wildcat A team is composed of different types of athletes. There are the MVPs, the players looking to improve, those who struggle and those who play a supporting role. On the Arizona women’s tennis team, senior Debora Castany is that supportive teammate, and she’ll put that on display today at 1 p.m. when the Wildcats host ASU in the regular season finale. “Debora is a hard worker and goes the extra mile,” head coach Vicky Maes said. “She is a really good practice player, which in turn challenges the girls.” The Spain native played tennis in her free time, so her decision to play at the collegiate level required her to put in extra work to get noticed by schools in the U.S. “I sent out a bunch of emails to multiple schools that I was interested in,” Castany said. “I was working with an agency because I knew very little English at the time and that’s who hooked me up with the program here at the U of A.” Once Castany did more research into Arizona, she realized the university’s academic

She brings positive light to the team because she is happy all the time.” Not only is today the UA’s last regular season match, but it is senior day. Natasha Marks, Sarah Landsman and Castany will be recognized at the “red out” match. “It’s very important to keep our emotions in check especially because it is senior day,” Maes said. “ASU has a few injuries but we have to treat it as they are going to bring everything they got. We expect to have a good turnout.” gordon bates / Daily Wildcat

Arizona was out of shape all spring, something that was likely a result of Mike Stoops’ midseason firing last year. “They bought in, they’re trying hard,” Rodriguez said. “There’s another level we can get to as far as work ethic. Our guys have to have a great summer. We’ve got to go in fall camp in terrific shape, the best shape of their athletic lives and I think they understand that now.” Arizona’s players also noticed that they were getting out of shape. Rodriguez said when he took the job that many players would go weeks at a time without lifting weights, something that successful Division I athletes can’t do. That’s a message that hasn’t been lost on Scott, who will assume a leadership role this season as perhaps the most experienced skill-position player on Arizona’s offense. “I don’t want to admit it, but I see it,” Scott said of the team being out of shape. “Last year, they didn’t really expect too much of us, coming out to practice and moving around. But (Rodriguez) expects a lot more, so we’re definitely going to work hard this summer and improve our shape.” Scott said he isn’t leaving Tucson this summer while he works out and does his best to become proficient in Rodriguez’s readoption offense, which Scott ran a version of at Centennial High School in California. The senior quarterback said he hopes others follow suit, or the Wildcats might fall into a dangerous pattern. “It’s times like this where people stop working,” Scott said. “They miss some things or come back rusty, and we don’t want that. We want to come back and hit the ground where we left off.”

foreclosing on their homes,” Lopez said. “There are a lot of things going on in this world. Come on, let’s just go play baseball.” Lopez hopes that they’ll be back to their former selves this weekend as the Wildcats (24-10, 10-5 Pac-12) head to Seattle to take on the Washington Huskies. “We’ll make sure they don’t feel sorry for themselves,” Lopez said. “Get after them a little bit, they’ll have another shot this weekend.” After three straight losses, the Wildcats are looking to grab a victory, especially after the rough rivalry outcome on Tuesday. Lopez said he was confident

fact, that America’s own commanderin-chief felt compelled to take action. Summitt will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom later this year, an award that is considered the nation’s highest civilian honor, according to a White House announcement. President Barack Obama said Summitt is an “inspiration” as the coach who has won more games than anyone else in NCAA college basketball history and for her willingness to “speak so openly and courageously about her battle with Alzheimer’s.” For a basketball lifer like Summitt, even after stepping down, full retirement is not a reasonable option for her. She will now take on the role of head coach emeritus. The new job, among

about his plan before the game “I woke up on Tuesday and said, ‘OK, If I can get to the sixth or the seventh with the lead, I’ll go with those guys and we come home,’” Lopez said. Lopez referenced Scottish poet Robert Burns to sum up his decision: “The best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go astray,” Lopez said. The mid-week games have been a struggle for the Wildcats this season, but they aren’t as vital to the big picture. Still, Lopez said he always wants his guys to succeed. “Mid-weeks are always a challenge because you’re trying to figure out who to throw,” Lopez said. “But if you would have told me that we were going to be up 7-2 in the fifth, even 8-5 in the seventh, I would have said, ‘Manthei and Troupe are avail-

able? Yeah OK, I like my chances on that one, I’ll bet you a lunch on that one,’” he continued. “Well, I would be taking you across the street to Claim Jumper today.” For success against Washington this weekend, Lopez and the team know it’s simple. They just have to pitch well and back that up with good defense. Arizona has committed 60 errors on the season, second worst in the Pac-12. The Wildcats’ .958 fielding percentage is also second worst in the conference. “That’s just the momentum and kind of the rhythm of the game,” Arizona right fielder Robert Refsnyder said. “Sometimes when the pitching’s off, we just get into a little bit of a lull. We’re kind of flat footed, but we certainly can’t blame the pitchers.”

Berkowitz and Bermudez agree his best match of the season was when he defeated USC’s Eric Johnson. Not only was USC the top-ranked team in the country, but Bermudez was the only Wildcat to win a match point. With winning by just two games in each set, Bermudez recalls he “just stepped up.” Bermudez teams up with sophomore Mario Urquidi in doubles. Even though

the two have known each other for years, this season together has brought them closer together. “He has a big game, and makes it easy for me to attack the net,” Urquidi said. The Wildcats’ final match of the regular season is Saturday, when they will host Utah. “I hope we can get our first Pac-12 win,” Bermudez said. “We are a healthier team and ready to get it done.”

other things, allows her to remain an adviser to the basketball program and to the school’s athletic director. Her impact on college sports even extends to the classroom, as Summitt has graduated a stunning 100 percent of her student-athletes in her 38 years as head coach. The average graduation rate in women’s basketball is 83 percent. “She knows that, in life, basketball

is not going to last forever and you can appreciate that as a coach,” Butts said. “That’s one of the reasons why we stay on our kids about making sure you take pride in your academics, and making sure you take pride in your image off the floor as well. “The one lesson she taught me that I always use is to discipline yourself so no one else has to.”
