Hart inaugurated as first female president of UA KYLE MITTAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

KYLE WASSON/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT PRESIDENT ANN WEAVER HART stands on the UA Mall during the procession of faculty to Centennial Hall before her inauguration ceremony on Friday afternoon.

Professor recognized as stem cell pioneer

A procession of UA faculty dressed in their academic regalia entered the packed auditorium in Centennial Hall at 3 p.m. sharp on Friday. The procession included UA faculty members, government officials, state institution administrators and student leaders, all in attendance to welcome Ann Weaver Hart, the university’s 21st president. The daylong festivities surrounding her inauguration culminated with a two-hour ceremony featuring more than a dozen speeches, four musical performances and a handful of standing ovations to commemorate what some described as a “changing of the guard” for the university. “It has been an exhilarating day, filled with warm welcomes from students, faculty and staff and mutual leadership,” said interim Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs Andrew Comrie, who served as the master of ceremonies. The event kicked off with a number of speeches from government officials, including Gov. Jan Brewer, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton and Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild. Brewer

spoke about the history of Arizona universities, addressing their role in contributing to the state’s economy. “Dr. Hart, we know you are the right person to serve at the helm of the University of Arizona and to help realize this important vision,” she said. During Rothschild’s speech, he addressed Hart’s position as the university’s first female president, noting similar milestones in her past years of academic leadership. Hart was also the first female president of Temple University, and Rothschild added that she now resides in the hometown of the first Arizona congresswoman, Isabella Greenway. “In Tucson, we like our glass ceilings broken,” Rothschild said. Student leaders also gave speeches during the ceremony, beginning with Katy Murray, the president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. “It is my distinct honor, privilege and absolute delight to officially welcome you into your position,” Murray said, adding that the UA is “incredibly lucky” to have Hart to learn from and look up to. Zachary Brooks, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, also welcomed Hart to

Arizona football accepts bowl bid ZACK ROSENBLATT Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona football team has accepted its invitation to play in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, athletic director Greg Byrne announced at the Westin La Paloma Resort on Sunday night. “We’re very pleased to have been invited,” Byrne said. “It’s a great opportunity for our seniors and the entire team has bought into everything coach Rodriguez and his staff have done. It’s a great tribute to the seniors and the coaches who are able to return to the postseason.” The Wildcats will face Nevada of the Mountain West Conference at University Stadium in Albuquerque, N.M., on Dec. 15 at 11 a.m. Arizona (7-5, 4-5 Pac-12) finished out its regular season with a 41-34 loss to rival ASU on Nov. 23, but Rich Rodriguez’s first season as a head coach was a success, as the Wildcats return to bowl season after missing out last year. “It’s exciting for our players, in particular our seniors,” Rodriguez said. “We didn’t set down a particular goal at the beginning of the year but we wanted to be in a bowl game, so we get a couple more weeks with our seniors and get to enjoy that part.” Arizona was under consideration for the Las Vegas Bowl, Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and Sun Bowl, Byrne said, in addition to New Mexico, but Wildcat players and coaches said they weren’t too concerned with what bowl they would be playing in. “A bowl game is a bowl game,” running back Ka’Deem Carey said after Friday’s practice. “I’m excited to play in another game.” Carey, an All-Pac-12 first team

A UA professor has been recognized for his work as a “pioneer” in stem cell banking. David Harris, professor of immunobiology, was awarded the Arizona BioIndustry Association 2012 award for “20 Years of Discovery and Innovation.” Harris’ recognition is the culmination of his decades of work in the field of stem cell research. Harris came to the UA 23 years ago from the University of North Carolina and said he was interested in improving the bone marrow transplant process. As a result, he began to use a process called cord blood banking. In 1991, Harris became the first person to bank stem cells for future use, which includes saving them for future treatments. “It’s nice to end up being recognized for something that you have worked on for a long time,” Harris said. “Taking something and making it important for everyday life, for people to improve their life, is amazing. From starting with animal models and moving to human beings is huge; it’s nice to see it go from one point to another.” Harris said he banked stem cells for future use by preserving his first child’s cord blood stem cells. A year later, Harris founded the Arizona Cord Blood Bank, which later became the Cord Blood Registry. Harris continues

Run on UA Mall raises nearly $5K for medical student DAVID WEISSMAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

A 5K run held Sunday on the UA Mall raised nearly $5,000 to benefit a student in the College of Medicine who was diagnosed with lung cancer in September. The student, Derek Neal, was admitted to the hospital with what doctors initially thought was pancreatitis. Doctors gave Neal four months to live, but he has surpassed their expectations. Benjamin Kwittken, one of Neal’s classmates in the College of Medicine, said Neal “never smoked a day in his life,” and that Kwittken and his classmates have done what they can to help Neal’s family. “Since his diagnosis, our class and other people in the community have come together and tried to help him and help out his family any way we could,” Kwittken said. The 5K run was a central part of that, and Kwittken said that $4,900 had been collected by the end of the race. All proceeds will go to

Travis Berkow, an animal science senior and member of the TriCats triathlon team who won first place in the run, also came specifically to support Neal. “Our coach brought it up to us that it was going on, and the whole TriCat team decided it would be a good idea to come on out and support, have fun and get to race, and hang out with the community,” Burkel said.

From the newsroom

How can we make everyone be heard? Bethany Barnes Arizona Daily Wildcat

A

lthough the Arizona Daily Wildcat is a niche paper, it covers a big campus with a diverse population. It’s important for us as a news organization to reflect that diversity by fully covering the many different perspectives and groups that contribute to our campus. For this reason, The Arizona Daily Wildcat Standards and Practices Committee — made up of myself, the editor-in-chief, the copy chief and the digital media editor — has created a diversity policy for the newsroom’s resource manual that will go into effect next semester. This policy recognizes that the Wildcat’s “commitment to diversity is crucial to fulfilling its mission to be the primary source of information for, by and about the UA community.” It describes how we’ll pursue stories about minority issues, and it outlines how to include more minority voices in every kind of story. The new policy emphasizes that covering our campus means hearing from a variety of voices, especially those that aren’t the loudest or most prominent. Earlier this semester, an ASUA Pride Alliance intern told us that he’d noticed that we often only interview Christina Bischoff, co-director of ASUA Pride Alliance, when there are other people who are just as capable of being interviewed about stories related to Pride Alliance and LGBTQ issues. This conversation was a good reminder to go beyond representing a group or perspective with just a single source. As the policy states, “That person becomes the go-to source for stories about issues faced by that minority group, but reporters should be aggressive about collecting sources from a wide variety of people in the community.” It’s both silly and an injustice to you, the reader, to make one person the mouthpiece for an entire group of people. Additionally, diversity goes beyond the categories that are often mentioned: race, sexual orientation and gender. It also takes into account things like education level, age and background. The Wildcat could do a better job of covering graduate students and veteran students, for example. Diversity in coverage also includes the responsibility of representing a wide range of student interests. Are we writing the stories you want to see? We write a lot about administrative issues and news. We just did a big spread on President Ann Weaver Hart’s inauguration in Friday’s paper, and continued that coverage online throughout the day as well. Although Hart’s inauguration was a big deal to many people on campus, I imagine that for many of you, the administrative stories don’t matter as much on a day-to-day basis, unless they say your tuition is going up. Although it is impossible to cover everything, all the time, with the same nuance and intensity as Hart’s inauguration, coverage is ideally a balancing act that offers something for everyone. This is your paper. The Wildcat should meet your needs and the stories should reflect and enhance your university life. So what stories do you think we are missing? Do you feel like your voice is being heard? — Bethany Barnes is the managing editor and readers’ representative for the Daily Wildcat. She can be reached at maned@wildcat.arizona.edu or on Twitter via @BetsBarnes.

GUEST COLUMN

Small acts can have big impact on respect within community April D. J. Petillo Guest Columnist

S

aturday morning, from 10:20 a.m. till 11 a.m., those on the UA Mall and surrounding areas were greeted with crass musical descriptions of sex work, female anatomy and people of color, thanks to the music choices of CATwalk’s DJ for the non-competitive 5k and 10k competitive run. Imagine my surprise, as a female UA student of color meeting with other students of color about academic success with “Pop That,” “Gold Digger” and similar uncensored songs as our soundtrack. I was further surprised when reminded that CATwalk partially benefits cure research for cancers primarily affecting women. The DJ’s choices were ill-timed at best and microaggressive at worst. Microaggressions are defined as those “brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, and environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults to the target person or group,” according to psychologist Derald Wing Sue. In addition to music messages that could fall into the category of microaggressive, these do not seem to support women or those who respect them as more than objects either.

There are a few problems with your assessment. For one, while U.S. News and World Report ranks ASU at 139 and UofA at 120, the ARWU (which is considered to be a more accurate system because it takes actual body of work into consideration) ranks UofA and ASU 45 and 46, respectively, in the nation...meaning that size has In response to “ASU’s new model enables UA to become nothing to do with quality since the body of work behind them is of high regard. more elite” (by Dan Desrochers, Nov. 29): Even in U.S. News rankings, ASU is consistently ranked in the Good article. Yet one mistake is your idea that, by allowing Top 5 for “Up and Coming” National Universities while the UofA more admissions, ASU is devaluing degrees. They are not; is not; therefore, ASU’s degrees are actually gaining in valuation students still must work towards their degrees. ASU is not handing and not being watered down. them out. But they are arguably devaluing the prestige of the To complicate matters, ASU’s individual schools and colleges school and overpopulating classes.

But ranked higher (in some cases, much higher) than the respective I do agree that UA has an opportunity to increase its prestige. schools/colleges at the UofA. — Michael Carolin While funding and some large class sizes might be an issue, most of the criticism comes from the large auditorium style “While ASU is doing great things in increasing the accessibility classes taught at all research universities (even the Ivy Leagues). of a degree, it is also devaluing it. If just about anyone can get a ASU students are known for complaining about class size, but do degree from ASU, what does that degree even mean?” not take into consideration that large lecture halls and classrooms This, exactly this. It will produce a watered down degree that are often standard and that no class can be over-enrolled, which becomes essentially the same as community college. Community makes the “overcrowding” argument moot. college is there to be the affordable and accessible method Research universities require individuals to take advantage of that allows you to (hopefully) transition into a university level assets and each student must put in work to be succcessful.

If you’re going to make a degree from a university because of that, both ASU and UofA have high dropout rates. essentially the same as community college by accepting everyone Those high dropout rates are due in large part to high and lowering its quality, what’s the point? acceptance rates for both schools.

Police Beat MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

All buffed up

A dispute between two UA employees led to an arrest on charges of disorderly conduct following a quarrel over buffing the Student Union Memorial Center floors at 4:38 a.m. on Nov. 26. When University of Arizona Police Department officers arrived, they met with a supervisor who said the two had been separated. Officers then spoke with each employee individually. One employee was walking down the east walkway when he noticed the other employee buffering the floors. He observed that the other employee was using a different buffer from the day before, and asked him why. The working employee responded that the previous buffer was sporadically turning off. “Maybe there is something wrong with you,” the first man said. “That is why the floors looked so crappy yesterday.” The man continued to mock the working employee, saying, “It’s not the machine, it’s the monkey that operates it.” The harassed employee then grabbed the heckling man by the neck, pushing him against a railing. The man said he feared for his life, and fought off the attack until he was able to stand upright again. No words were exchanged during the scuffle, but the employee who attacked the other man said he’d beat him up if he saw him again. Some red marks on the attacked employee’s neck were the sole injury resulting from the conflict. The attacked employee said he wanted to press for assault charges against the worker who choked him. The assailant was booked and transported to Pima County Jail on charges of disorderly conduct and assault.

Driver causes domino effect

UAPD officers responded to a four-car collision near Campbell Avenue and Hawthorne Street at 8:51 a.m. on Nov. 27. The accident was caused when a female driver rear-ended a stopped car, causing the chain accident. The woman said she hadn’t realized traffic had stopped so suddenly, and drove into the car in front of her at an estimated speed of 20 mph. All the other vehicles were stopped when they were struck from behind, causing each to hit the car in front of them. One of the drivers reported minor neck pains, but didn’t seek medical attention. The car of the woman who initiated the accident suffered significant damage to the front hood and bumper. The car she hit had its air bags deployed, and the back bumper and hood bent out of shape. The other two vehicles suffered paint scratches damage to their bumpers. All the vehicles were cleared from the roadway and everyone involved was given a case number for their records.

No middle ground

A UA Parking and Transportation Services employee and student were referred to UAPD for disorderly conduct in the lot just north of the Speech and Hearing Sciences building at 12:08 p.m. on Nov. 27. The employee said he was driving on the lot’s ramp toward Palm Street when the student pulled alongside him and extended his middle finger, saying, “You have to yield the right of way!” The employee exited his car and approached the student’s motorcycle to write down the license plate number. The student became “very upset, yelling and extending his middle finger in an aggressive manner.” The student said the employee pulled out in front of him, forcing him to avoid a collision by slamming on his brakes. When the student asked for his supervisor, the employee got out of his car to call the police. “Go ahead, call the cops. I did nothing wrong,” the student replied. Since the incident took place on private property, no citations were issued. Parking and Transportation Services forwarded the student’s information to the dean of students, and both drivers left the scene without further incident. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Nick Johnson emerging for UA basketball KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

Before Arizona’s recent two-game stretch, head coach Sean Miller went out of his way to bring up sophomore Nick Johnson in a weekly press conference. Miller talked about how the young guard’s contributions to the team shouldn’t be overlooked, and at least in the Wildcats’ two wins after that, Johnson responded well to the praise. In a 93-50 win against NAU, Johnson led Arizona in assists and steals and played the defensive stopper role against the Lumberjacks’ Gabe Rogers. On Saturday, the sophomore was the game’s top scorer with 18 points and added five rebounds in Arizona’s first road win of the season, a 85-57 beat down of Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. “[I’m] just trying to make smart decisions, not forcing anything, but trying to find my teammates,” Johnson said after the NAU win. “I think I’m a playmaker and when I get comfortable I just make plays and my teammates are knocking down shots.” During the Wildcats’ perfect five-game start to the season, Johnson has been a quiet but efficient contributor for Arizona. “He is a real key to our team,” Miller said. “If you watch us play, a lot of the time the guy who seems to be orchestrating for other players or is really in tune with his other teammates, it’s Nick.” Johnson leads the team

Turnovers costly in W-Hoops loss to Long Beach IMAN HAMDAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s basketball team lost to Long Beach State in California on Sunday 71-61, marking its third loss of the season. Turnovers have been an issue for the Wildcats all season, and they didn’t improve against the 49ers. “I’m really disappointed in our play, overall,” head coach Niya Butts said. “We shot 17 percent in the second half, they outrebounded us by a huge margin, we turned it over 21 times — we forced 28, but we turned it over 21 times.” What seemed like it would be an easy win for Arizona quickly turned into a scramble to tie the score in the second half. The Wildcats led by as many as 14 points in the first half, only to turn around and allow Long Beach State to go on a 9-0 run in the opening minutes of the second half. “They made a run in the second half and at the end of the first half, but we turned it over,” Butts said. “We didn’t get any offensive production. We came out in the second half and just weren’t ready. They hit some shots and we didn’t respond to it.” With 15 minutes remaining in the second

half, the 49ers took their first lead of the game, giving the team the momentum it needed to seal Arizona’s fate. “Basketball is a game of runs,” Butts said. “In the locker room, that’s what we talked about. We needed to come out and play with more intensity in the second half. We played a great 15 minutes of basketball. We gave up too many three’s, but other than that, I thought the first half was pretty solid. We came out in the second half and didn’t have any fight.” The only two Wildcats to score in double digits were senior guard Davellyn Whyte, with 17 points, and junior forward Erica Barnes, with 11 points. Whyte also led the team in steals with eight, while not a single Arizona player brought down double digits in rebounding. The poor performance on both the offensive and defensive boards led the 49ers to outrebound Arizona 43-27, marking the Wildcats’ highest rebounding deficit to an opponent so far this season. Arizona falls to 5-3 as it enters the last game of its away game stretch on Dec. 8. The Wildcats will travel to Albuquerque, N.M., to take on New Mexico before returning home for two games.

larry hogan/Arizona Daily Wildcat GUARD nick johnson has emerged as a leader for the Wildcats and has been one of their top players early on.

with 4.2 assists a game, even though he’s played primarily at the shooting guard spot. But even more impressive is his turnover rate — he only gave the ball away four times in the first five games, resulting in an assist to turnover ratio of 5.25:1.0. His mark is better than either of the team’s point guards, junior Jordin Mayes

(1.25:1.0) or senior Mark Lyons (0.8:1.0). “(Johnson’s) really developed a great floor game,” Miller said. “He’s one of those guys that’s really fun to play with because he’s engaged in almost every phase of the game. “There’s no question he’s a much better player right now

than he was a year ago, and that’s all to his credit. He also is ego-less when he plays; it’s not about scoring for him and I think that complements our team really well because he’s always trying to make plays.” Miller said Johnson had a tremendous all-around game

Lyons’ early struggles at point guard not a concern for Arizona Zack Rosenblatt Arizona Daily Wildcat

Mark Lyons is not Josiah Turner, let’s get that out of the way now. While Turner fades to obscurity with the Halifax Rainmen of the National Basketball League of Canada, after just one suspension-filled season at the UA, Lyons is tied for the team’s leading scorer through five games at 14.0 points per game. “Mark is a great leader, great scorer, great point guard,” sophomore guard Nick Johnson said. That last part is still up in the air. At Xavier, Lyons spent the majority of his time playing off the ball with Terrell “Tu” Holloway running the point. After transferring to the UA in the summer, Lyons was handed the starting point guard job at a school known for its rich point guard history. In the early going, Lyons appears to still be adjusting. He has 12 assists, fourth on the team, and 15 turnovers through five games, and only on one occasion, in the season opener against Charleston Southern, did Lyons record more assists than turnovers. Head coach Sean Miller doesn’t sound too worried though, as he believes Lyons is still in a learning phase, despite his position as a fifth-year senior. “He’s played basketball [at Xavier] for four years but hasn’t really been at point guard,” Miller said after a 93-50 win against NAU

on Nov. 28. “He’s still in game four of being in charge of everybody and everything.” Game five didn’t go much better. Against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, Lyons scored a solid 14 points, but didn’t record a single assist and had four turnovers. Johnson’s turnover-free performance this season has begged the question of whether or not he should take over Lyons’ spot and run the point. Johnson has 21 assists against four turnovers — in the last three games he had 13 assists and one turnover — but Miller doesn’t anticipate moving Johnson away from his more natural shooting guard position. “There’s a big difference playing like a point guard when there’s another guy out there in charge of running your team,” Miller said. “The reason he plays the way he’s playing right now, he has a lot of confidence in playing the game the way he’s playing. The burden of what play do you want and the offense and handling pressure and traps … that adds to your plate and it can certainly take away some of the things we’re doing.” Although he might not be fully functional as the starting point guard just yet, his scoring prowess has lived up to the hype after his 1,194 points as a Musketeer. He’s shooting an impressive 50 percent from the field, and if not for a four-point performance against Long Beach State, he’d be scoring 16.5 points per game. Plus, because the Wildcats have blown opponents out by an average of 28.5 points in the last four games, Lyons has only played 24 minutes per game in that stretch. The last two seasons at Xavier he averaged 31.9 and 35.1

minutes per game. If Arizona is going to be successful this year, though, it will need Lyons to become more efficient in the passing game. And while moving Lyons off the ball and Johnson to the point might seem logical, based off their earlyseason production, Miller doesn’t feel the need to make a switch. “Right now I want to keep Nick locked in on [the two],” Miller said. “The one thing he does do makes the game easier for the point guard he’s playing with because he’s doing some of the things you like a point guard to do. I like keeping him right where he’s at.” — Zack Rosenblatt is the sports editor. He can be reached via sports@wildcat.arizona.edu or on Twitter at @ZackBlatt.

The Arizona hockey team is having one of its best seasons in years, but not everything is coming up roses. Senior goalie David Herman was dismissed from the team, head coach Sean Hogan said Thursday after practice. “He’s been dismissed from the team and we’ve moved on from it,” Hogan said. “There’ll be no comments from our side about it. He’s not a player on the hockey team.” Herman split time with current junior starter Steven Sisler last year, playing 14 games while Sisler played 19, but Herman didn’t play this year after falling out of favor. “As of right now, I don’t know fully why I was dismissed and I plan to file an appeal,” Herman said. “I believe there should be an appeal process and I’ll just let it all play out and hopefully I’ll be back on the team second semester after an appeal.” Last season, the Highland Park, Ill., native played 783.90 minutes in 14 games with 3.90 goals against average, 51 goals, 400 saves and a 0.89 save percentage. Last November and December, Herman played goalie in the Wildcats’ back-to-back wins over top 10 teams. He had 31 saves in the 3-1 upset of No. 6 Ohio and 25 saves in the 4-1 win over No. 7 Oklahoma. Then Herman suffered a concussion in practice. He had two in the 2009-10 season, one from being kneed by an ASU player, and wasn’t the same afterward, losing his starting job to Sisler. Sisler (8-8) won UA’s goalie competition in September and Herman alternated with sophomore Bob Schultz (2-1)

as the backup. Freshman Dylan Hojnacki (1-0) is the other goalie on the roster. “I’m sure they have their reasons that I was dismissed and we’ll see how it plays out,” Herman said. “I have no idea as to the inner workings, I still have to find out all the information.” Herman’s career 48 games, 1787 saves, .890 save percentage and 4.58 goals against average make him comparable with the UA’s great goalies. He has made more saves than Icecat hall of fame inductee Dennis Hands, who made 1637. Herman doesn’t know who to appeal to, but says he is trying to figure it out. In 2011, the Icecats initiated a coaching change and the hockey team came under the control of the school, like the smaller club teams.

against the Lumberjacks, but as his 18 point effort against Texas Tech showed, the young guard can do a little bit of everything. Johnson shot 7-for-11, including 2-for-3 from beyond the arc, which raised his season shooting average to 53.8 percent. His efficiency from the floor stands in stark contrast to his sporadic shooting last year, when Johnson hit just 37.2 percent of his shots as a freshman. Over the summer Johnson concentrated a lot on improving his shooting touch, and through five games, it’s paid dividends. “If the ball [didn’t] go in the basket a year ago, he would let it kind of affect other parts of his game, which happens a lot to freshmen,” Miller said. “He’s more confident in that area, but I really believe if he didn’t make shots that it would take away from all of the other things he’s learned to do.” With the way Johnson has found open teammates this season, Miller said it’s been like having another point

“

guard on the floor at times. But after the NAU game, Miller emphasized that Johnson’s spot at the two-guard is exactly where he should be. Miller wants to let Johnson focus more on developing into a shutdown defender and keep him at the two. With the departure of senior Kyle Fogg, someone needs to step into the role as a lockdown defender, and Miller believes Johnson has that potential. Johnson limited NAU’s second-best scorer, Rogers, to just seven points in the game, including zero in the second half, and he leads the team with 10 steals. But there’s a big difference between holding the thirdhighest scorer in the Big Sky Conference in check and containing a player like Cal’s Allen Crabbe, who’s 10th in the nation with 22.0 points per game. Still, Miller said the sophomore is light-years ahead of where he was as a defender last year, and overall Johnson has impressed. “He’s fun to watch for me coaching right now because he’s playing the way you’d want a guard to play,” Miller said.

“I’m sure there’s got to be one [an appeal process], that’s why we made the changes a few years ago, so the coach doesn’t have too much power,” Herman said. Though Herman played two games last season for the inline hockey team, he says that if he doesn’t return to the ice hockey team, he hopes to join the lacrosse team, as he played lacrosse in high school. The Laxcats play their regular season in the spring semester. “It’s only been a few days, but I really miss the guys on the team and in the locker room,” Herman said. “So I’d like to be able to finish out my senior year with the guys that I came in with and all the guys I’ve met since I started here.”

selection, is the nation’s leading rusher with 1,757 yards, but Nevada’s Stefphon Jefferson is hot on his tail. Jefferson has 1,703 yards for the Wolf Pack (7-5, 4-4 MWC) and has two more rushing touchdowns than Carey, with 20. “I didn’t know that,” Rodriguez said of the the battle for the national rushing title. “I know they got a real good one. I think they wear the same number. They’re a very good rushing team.” In addition to the battle for the rushing title, there are a few other issues at play. For one, the early Dec. 15 date might prove problematic for the Wildcats as the earliest bowl game of the season. Plus, the UA’s graduation is that same day, meaning the Wildcats’ graduating seniors will miss it, and the No. 9 Arizona basketball team has a prominent matchup with No. 7 Florida that night. “I know there’s a couple of conflicts that day,” said Byrne, who will be attending both the bowl game and basketball game

at 8 p.m. at McKale Center. “We hope that as many fans as possible will get a chance to travel to Albuquerque — it’s not that far of a drive for them — and be there that day. Rodriguez said Arizona’s athletic department did its best to campaign for the Sun, Hunger and Las Vegas bowls. “Of course I’m biased,” Rodriguez said Friday. “But I think we bring a lot to the table from a fan base, to having them cover some of the most explosive players in the Pac-12, and we’ll travel well. So I think we bring a lot to the table.” One of those players is receiver Austin Hill, who was an All-Pac-12 second team selection after recording 73 receptions for 1,189 yards and nine touchdowns this season. Hill went to Roosevelt High School in Corona, Calif., with Wolf Pack defensive back Aaron Brown, and said on Friday he’d be excited to face his old friend. “I think it’d be cool to get an opportunity to play him,” Hill said, “especially since we played high school ball together. But in the end it doesn’t matter where we go.”

Arizona adds ex-USC quarterback for 2013

The Wildcats added another quarterback to their stable for next year, as former USC quarterback Jesse Scroggins verbally committed, according to Scout.com. Scroggins was ranked the No.6 quarterback coming out of Lakewood High School in California. He left USC last summer after falling down the Trojans’ depth chart and spent a year at El Camino College. He completed 79 of 172 passes for 1,148 yards and eight touchdowns while running 42 times for 56 yards. He will be eligible to play for the UA in 2013 without sitting out because he spent the fall at a junior college and will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Wildcat hockey wins big against SDSU JAMES KELLEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona hockey team rebounded from a disappointing series opener to beat San Diego State 9-2 on Saturday night. No. 17 Arizona (10-9-0) moved back over .500 with a sweep of the Division II Aztecs (5-10-1). On Friday the Wildcats beat SDSU 5-3. “It was a better effort for sure,” head coach Sean Hogan said. Junior forward Ansel Ivens-Anderson led the way for the Wildcats with a hat trick. The NCAA Division I transfer also had four assists, to earn seven points in Saturday’s game. “That was good, their whole line put up points,” Hogan said. “[Friday] night they were minus two and [Saturday] night they said they wanted to play better and they did, and it’s good to see other guys get goals too.” Arizona’s last hat trick was by senior forward Brian Slugocki on Nov. 9 against

then-No. 8 Oakland. IvensAnderson, who didn’t play last year after transferring from New Hampshire, said he doesn’t know when his last hat trick was. “I’m happy, it’s a credit to the linemates,” IvensAnderson said. “The whole game we were dominating. Slugo[cki] and [Andrew] Murmes had a bunch of points, so it was a good

game for us and the team in general.” Freshman goalie Dylan Hojnacki made his Arizona debut with 23 saves. “I had a pretty bad goal that first shot, but I got the jitters out and I was good to go from there,” Hojnacki said. The Aztecs scored first, with 11:40 left in the first, but Ivens-Anderson scored a minute and half later on

an assist by Slugocki and freshman defenseman Kyle Ambrosie. A couple minutes later, Ivens-Anderson scored on a power play assisted by Slugocki and senior defenseman Nick Stolz. “It shouldn’t have been that close, we wanted to come out and have a statement win,” Ivens-Anderson said In the second period,

junior forward Andrew Murmes started Arizona’s flurry of five goals with a short-handed score after eight and a half minutes. Freshman defenseman Bryan Drazner had the assist. With 10:05 left, Stolz scored a power play goal via assists by Slugocki and Ivens-Anderson. San Diego State responded with a power play goal a couple minutes later. With 5:56 left, Murmes scored his second goal of the night, assisted by IvensAnderson and Slugocki. Ivens-Anderson completed his hat trick on an assist by Stolz and sophomore defenseman Shane Gleason. In the third period, sophomore forward Justin Gaudino scored at the 8:28 mark, assisted by Drazner and Ivens-Anderson. With 5:42 left in the game, Slugocki capped the scoring with assists from IvensAnderson and Stolz. “Nine goals is a really good game and we really needed that after [Friday night],” Ivens-Anderson said.

The Mountain Goats on staying humble ALEX WHELAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

Peter Hughes has been making music long enough to narrow the process down to a single, telling aphorism: “You just have to check your ego.” A quick survey of the projects multi-instrumentalist Hughes has led or participated in yields an astounding run of albums of all styles. Yet to hear the ever-humble Hughes tell it, the slew of acclaimed Mountain Goats and solo records he’s made are nothing to be daunted by. “From the beginning we’ve just been a couple of musical misfits,” Hughes said of himself and principal Mountain Goats songwriter John Darnielle. Far removed from the stereotypical rock star, Hughes comes across as something of an anomaly in the music world, content to analyze the potential of communism or casually reminisce about the early days of Mountain Goats as if it wasn’t one of the longestrunning indie bands in the game. But the best Mountain Goats songs are the ones with the most history, and Hughes certainly has history. Hughes has been a member of the band since 1995, when Darnielle invited him on a pair of European tours. He makes no secret of his being an enormous fan of the band, dating back to when Darnielle was the sole member and making records with just a boombox. “I always felt like the songwriting was so strong and so good,” said Hughes, “so when I joined and we started recording songs as a full band, I thought of it as just a broadening of an already great palette. I just wanted to see more colors.” After more than a decade of touring, Hughes still maintains

his enthusiasm about The Mountain Goats. Always aware of the need to check one’s ego, however, Hughes makes it clear how grateful he is for the opportunity to make a living playing music. “We are just so lucky, being able to go so many amazing places and interact with people from all over,” he said. Hughes even singles out Tucson’s Club Congress, the location of The Mountain Goats’ Dec. 9 show, as one of his favorite places he’s played. “It’s been a while since we’ve been there, but I love Tucson,” he said. “That’s actually a place I’ll go on vacation, like not even as part of a tour. It’s a great scene down there.” Aside from his commitments with The Mountain Goats, Hughes also maintains a steady and eccentric solo career. Further proving himself to be among the nobler ranks of the indie music world, Hughes explained that his most recent endeavor has been exploring the nexus between his personal Press photo politics and music. His excellent solo effort WITH A CAREER that’s spanned 14 albums and almost 20 years, The Mountain Goats have kept Fangio (2010) explored Latin American true to the band’s form, music and original values while staying humble in the music industry. history and communism through a narrative take on The Mountain Goats, Hughes’ attitude toward music framework, and Hughes has expressed a desire is grounded, at once sincere and self-aware of the hectic world to further address these concerns. “Thematically I’m trying to do what the Minutemen did by in which he works. No matter what kind of music he’s making, addressing political issues in a way that isn’t total bullshit, but Hughes stands as an example of the success that can come rather is kind of smart and funny,” Hughes said. As with his through hard work — and an ego check.

Melt the stress away with these recipes ALYSSA DeMEMBER Arizona Daily Wildcat

It’s nearly the end of the semester and final projects and exams are fast approaching, but that’s no reason to let the stress win. Putting your feet up and having a comforting drink is the perfect way to slow down and let your mind regroup. Both of these holiday season-inspired drinks are rich, creamy alternatives to powdered hot chocolate mixes. Best of all, these drinks are warm, soothing and very easy to make. press photo

Nutella hot chocolate With its smooth texture and perfect blend of hazelnut and cocoa flavors, Nutella hot chocolate is an absolute must-have. Get a medium saucepan and turn your stove on medium to low heat. Grab your favorite mug and fill it up with milk almost to the very top, then pour the milk into the saucepan. Wait a few minutes for it to heat up — be sure to avoid turning the heat up too high, or the milk will curdle. Once it feels reasonably hot, add about two tablespoons of Nutella. Stir the mixture until everything is blended, then just add a dash of cinnamon and it’s ready to drink.

Creamy Hershey’s Symphony Bar hot chocolate Hershey’s Symphony bars are creamier and milkier than the average chocolate bar, so adding about a half a bar to a saucepan of heated milk makes for a decadent treat. Prepare your milk the same way as in the recipe above, then add part of a Symphony bar. Add a little Hershey syrup to the mix as well, if you’d like. Then stir the mixture until everything is melted and distributed evenly. A little whipped cream or a handful of marshmallows completes the ensemble.

Losing your buttons? Just fix them yourself ALEXANDRA GIROUX Arizona Daily Wildcat

Thanksgiving normally comes with stuffing, mashed potatoes, pie and a couple added pounds. Christmas is no better, with its sugary confections and fruitcake. This added weight could make it difficult to re-button those lovely dress pants, so much so that the button pops off and takes you from full to full-blown insecurity. If that is the case, and you forgot to ask your mom to help you sew it back on, have no fear. Become your own do-it-yourself seamstress, and learn a new skill in the process. Sewing on a button is really quite easy. You will need a sewing needle, 24 inches of thread to “double over” on the needle (you need at least 12 inches to work with) and the button that popped off.

front side of the fabric. This is your anchor point.

Step 3: Then, place the button on top of your anchor point. Begin to sew two holes and then place a spacer between the thread and button (a toothpick or another needle). Push the needle up from the reverse side, through the other side of the button holes, over your spacer and through the next hole. Your needle should be on the reverse side of the fabric at this point. Repeat this step six times, at least three times for each pair of holes. Step 4: Use the needle to wrap around the threads underneath the button. This will create room underneath to be able to button thicker fabric. Pull tight and then thread the needle through the base of the anchor to the reverse side of the fabric. Step 5: Tie it off. The easiest way would be an overhand loop with the needle still attached. Thread the needle through the loop you have created, pull tight and cut the excess thread.

Step 1: Tie off the bottom of the thread. Step 2: Create the anchor point. From the reverse end of the fabric, go through with the needle and then back around to the reverse side. Then repeat to create an “X” on the

to serve as chief science officer of the company, which is the largest cord blood stem cell bank in the world. “I had always been interested in science and particularly in biological sciences,” Harris said. “I was quite interested in sciences in general and got my degree in immunology. The general interest in science has always been there since an early age. Stem cells is the one I find to be most interesting these days.” The Arizona BioIndustry Association is made up of businesses as well as research and government organizations and those associated with other professions involved in biosciences. The annual Arizona BioIndustry Association Awards was held at the Phoenix Convention Center this year. “In the late 1980s, it was discovered that you could find left over blood cells in the umbilical cord after the baby was born,” Harris said. “Early on, we realized this was going to be an important source of stem cell transplant. After 15 years, we realized those stem cells present in umbilical cords had gone from the research stage into the treatment process.” Harris said that the support from the UA community throughout his research process is what enabled him to come this far. “The opportunity to be able to translate my work into real companies and then have the opportunity to make a positive impact in patients’ lives is important to have,” Harris said. “That opportunity here is one of the things that probably kept me here, and to have the support of the university to do that was great because you don’t always have that.”

Hailey eisenbach/arizona Daily Wildcat PROFESSOR OF IMMUNOBIOLOGY DAVID HARRIS has been recognized for his work in stem cell banking with the 2012 award for “20 Years of Discovery and Innovation” from the Arizona BioIndustry Association. Harris has worked in stem cell banking for decades, and has been at the UA for the past 23 years.

the university after recognizing that the two of them had attended the same junior high school in Salt Lake City. “Walk into a building in Tucson or Phoenix and you are likely to find Dr. Hart working to make the University of Arizona great throughout the state,” Brooks said. Hart’s own 13-page inaugural address was saved until the end of the ceremony. She described the recession’s effects on state education and her goals for the university, which included advancing technological innovation and the university as a land-grant institution. Hart issued a series of “calls to action” to the regents, faculty, administrators and students to overcome financial burdens and optimize university resources. “I call upon all of you to commit yourselves to the University of Arizona in new ways, for you may never know just how far the gift of your influence will reach,” Hart said as her speech drew to a close. “And, as we love and forever treasure the diversity of thinking

and knowing nurtured in our past, let us use that richness to shape the future and ask ourselves, ‘What will our conduct produce?’” Following the ceremony, a reception was held on the lawn in front of the Arizona State Museum, which featured performances by the Pride of Arizona marching band and a meet-and-greet with Hart. Faculty who had walked in the procession said they were pleased with the ceremony, and optimistic about Hart’s future at the UA. “I was very excited to be here,” Richard Snodgrass, a professor of computer science, said. “[Hart] brings a lot of energy and passion. It’s a very exciting time.” Victor Baker, a Regents’ professor of hydrology and water resources, planetary sciences and geosciences, said in his 30 years at the university, this was the first inaugural procession he had attended. “It’s an important time for this university, it’s an important time for all universities,” Baker said. “As President Hart pointed out, the environment for all universities is certainly changing … it’s certainly a time for innovative ideas and I think that’s partly behind

President Hart’s statements.” As the interim president who sought to prepare the university for a new leader, Eugene Sander agreed that Hart was a valuable addition. “[The ceremony] gave Ann an opportunity to lay out her view of the future,” he said. “It surely made me feel very good because my goal last year was to prepare the place for a great new leader, and I think we were able to do all of those things.” Sander wasn’t the only former president to wish Hart the best for her time in office. Former President Robert Shelton also spoke highly of the ceremony, saying that it reminded him of his own time at the UA. “It’s a wonderful event, of course,” he said. “I thought President Hart spoke beautifully, very impassioned, and of course, it’s a bit of nostalgia. I think it’s important to celebrate transitions in life. In our society … we’re so goal-oriented, we’re so oriented in completing our task that we complete it and then we move right on to the next, and we don’t take time to celebrate the meaning and the importance of it, and I think that’s what this was all about.”

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships

One in two sexually active persons will contract an STD/STI by age 25.

Q

How do you tell someone you have an STD?

A. Simply. Honestly. Optimistically. And sooner, rather than later. Although news about a sexually transmitted infection won’t usually be met with joy or a fist bump, it’s important to have the discussion with that “someone” before you are sexually intimate. Here are a few suggestions for making the conversation go as smoothly as possible: • Pick a comfortable, private place without many distractions. • Choose a time when you are both fairly relaxed and in a good frame of mind (not rushing off to class or at the end of a long day). • Stay positive. Your attitude can greatly influence how your message is received. • You might start out with, “I really enjoy being with you and that’s why I want to share something with you...” instead of “I have some bad news that really sucks...”.

• Be well-informed about your infection, including how it’s transmitted, the signs and symptoms, how it’s treated, and ways to prevent it from spreading from one person to another. You might want to have some printed information to share. • Be prepared for their initial shock. They are entitled to their feelings of disappointment, fear, etc. • Give them time to absorb the news and ask you questions. • Don’t apologize. You can’t change the past. Stay focused on what you can do. You may be surprised at the reaction you get. Your “someone” may not think it’s a big deal at all. They might be scared off. Or, perhaps they have some news for you, too. However they respond, you will know that you did the right thing. Reference: American Social Health Association (ASHASTD.org)
