For some residents and students, parking on the street in the Sam Hughes Neighborhood , near campus, is a prob-lem in terms of information, availability and enforcement.

Located just east of Campbell Av-enue , the neighborhood is a popular place to park, especially for students and sporting event spectators. But the City of Tucson’s strict policy enforce-ment and lack of information is a prob-lem, according to some people who live in the area.

One parking policy within the neigh-

borhood requires that drivers leave at least a 5-foot space between their car and the nearest driveway to allow for easy access.

Kathy Renno, a Tucson resident who regularly swims at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center , has been parking across from Sam Hughes Elementary School for the past five or six years. Last week, Renno was issued a $188 citation for leaving 2 feet, 3 inches between her car and the nearest driveway.

Tickets are handed out regularly in that area, she said, and she feels that the cost of the citation was far too much.

“$25 would have done it for me to teach me a lesson, $50 I could have handled,” Renno said. “$188 was really, really annoying, so I sent back in the form saying that I would like to have a hearing with the judge.”

Renno said her plans to meet in

court were later canceled after a friend advised her that parking tickets of that nature are rarely dismissed.

“I feel it’s just a moneymaker for the city of Tucson, (which) is in financial straits, to go after citizens for a minor crime like this,” she said.

Sheila Hoban, vice president of the Sam Hughes Neighborhood Association , was also issued a ticket for the same violation while parked in front of her own house. Hoban said information about the law is ambiguous, and the city could do a better job letting people know what is allowed and what isn’t.

“Basically what I found out was that the police measure one way and ParkWise (Tucson’s governing body for parking-related issues) was measuring

The anticipated stress of finals week inspired law student Cindy Hirsch , to organize a pet therapy program for over-whelmed law school students. Students can play with and pet therapy dogs brought to campus.

The dogs and their owners can be vis-ited in the Law Library at the James E. Rogers College of Law of Fellows Room 51 and are available for the remainder of the week between noon and 2 p.m .

This is the latest in a string of pet therapy programs in law schools that began this past March when a dog named Monty ap-peared in a law library at Yale University . Hirsch said several schools began imple-menting pet therapy after Monty’s success.

Law student Caroline Hoyt , has already

scheduled a second visit, she heard about the program through Facebook .

“It’s nice to step away from studying and instead of looking at something else on the Internet you’re actually having live interaction,” Hoyt said.

Anne Conyard, volunteer at the Delta Society , a national non-profit organiza-tion specializing in providing pet thera-py, and volunteer for the UA’s pet ther-apy program, works with her 3-year-old golden retriever Gus at a hospice center every Friday. For the past year Conyard and Gus have been visiting patients, families and staff.

“I think that it takes peoples’ minds off what they’re dealing with and all the busi-ness in their minds,” Conyard said.

In addition to Gus, 2-year-old golden retriever poodle mix Gidget volunteered

on Monday. Gidget’s owner, Linda Grim is also a volunteer for the Delta Society. Gidget has been training for three months and completed his first job working at the law school on Monday.

Katy Grounds , assistant director of ad-missions and financial aid , said she heard about the program from a UA student blog where law school students can share information. Grounds said the dogs are a good distraction, especially for first-year students experiencing their first week of finals.

Conyard said her experience in hospice has shown her the positive effects of pet therapy and why dogs are the ideal candi-dates for the job.

“They (the dogs) are unconditional and they just love to be petted, and to be loved and to give their love,” Conyard said.

Contraceptive care is already an out-of-pocket ex-pense for many women, and a new provision could make it even harder for them to access this care for free.

On March 23, 2010 , President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act , which would expand medical insurance coverage, including contraceptive care. But a new proposal from Kathleen Sebelius, the U.S. secretary of health and human ser-vices , suggests that universities, schools and hospitals be part of the exemption for providing contraceptive care in health plans. Religious schools and institutions already qualified for the exemption.

Obama still has yet to announce his decision about the provision.

“I think it’s really the Catholic bishops that are put-ting the most pressure on the president to provide what they’re calling a ‘conscience exemption’ for this,” said Democratic Rep. Katie Hobbs, from District 15 of the Arizona State Legislature . “What’s frustrating to me is you have 227 bishops that are supposed to be speaking for an entire church, but 99 percent of Catholic women have used birth control.”

Hobbs added the bish-ops aren’t really speaking about the people in their churches and she said it should be up to each in-dividual whether or not they choose to use con-traceptives.

As of now, exemptions are limited, said Repub-lican Sen. Nancy Barto, from District 7 , in regard to the new provision.

“If they provide an exemption to health plans and in-surers that they don’t have to cover it (contraceptives) based on their moral convictions, then that’s an im-provement to prior guidelines,” Barto said.

Bryan Howard, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Arizona , said the Patient Protection and Af-fordable Care Act requires that Americans have access to basic prevention-oriented services. Planned Parent-hood is encouraging the administration to stand behind this act, which already expands an exemption to places

A UA student’s research is contributing to the reduction of pesticide impacts on farm workers in Yuma.

Depending on their ingredients and how often people are exposed to them, pesticides can have some detrimental effects . Pesticide exposure has been linked to brain cancer and said to lower IQ levels and takes a substantial toll on pregnant women and children that are exposed prenatally, said Anastasia Sugeng, an environmental health sciences graduate student whose work on the top-ic garnered first place in the 2011 Environmental

Grad Research Blitz . The com-petition showcased UA gradu-ate students’ environmental research.

Sugeng focused on how pesticides get into the homes of farm workers in Yuma, where roughly 45 percent of the residents work in agricul-ture, she said.

“If a parent works with a certain type of pesticide in the field, we can see that in their child’s urine. We know

pesticides are getting into their homes,” Sugeng said. “What’s uncertain is how.”

Workers bringing pesticides home on their hands and clothes could be one way the pesti-cides get in, Sugeng said. Others include pesticide spray drifting into homes through the air or via the soil, which can cause contamination during a dust storm.

“We need to pay attention to the whole picture,” Sugeng said. “In terms of research for the air path-way, not much has been done. It’s much more sig-nificant than people are realizing.”

At the UA’s Future Teachers Club, students get educated on potential careers in education.

The club, which is recognized by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, aims to inform UA students about possible job opportunities in teaching and also pro-vides education workshops and meetings to those who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the field.

“It’s a great experience,” said Chava Lederman, an ele-mentary education junior and president of the club. “It’s a club that gives students the chance to meet people who have similar interests and goals in teaching to come together.”

Over the semester, the club has been involved in a vari-ety of education projects around campus and in the Tucson community, including beginning a food drive in schools throughout the Tucson Unified School District and raising money during the UA’s Homecoming to provide school sup-plies for a recent UA graduate who is a first-time teacher at an elementary school.

“She is working in a school that doesn’t really have the funds necessary to purchase all the supplies that are needed for her classroom,” Lederman said. “It’s definitely great to help out with that.”

The club meets every other Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Col-lege of Education, Room 257, where members typically have guest speakers from the teaching community come to talk to UA students. The next meeting is scheduled today where

they will be talking about how to incorporate multiple reli-gious and cultural holidays in the classroom.

“Generally in meetings we try to have topics presented that future teachers can use in their classroom, and tech-niques they can have to get hired” Lederman said. “This one in particular is going to show us how not to be biased when

talking about particular holidays.”Projects the club will work on this spring semester include

helping out with Tucson High School’s prom and creating care packages for U.S. soldiers deployed overseas with chil-dren in elementary school.

“It’s a good feeling helping out with something like this because I personally know people who are serving which makes it extra special to share that with the kids,” said Bailey Frahm, an elementary education junior and vice president of the club.

The club is open to all students. Lederman said some of their club members come from a variety of majors who are looking into teaching after college.

“It’s a pretty diverse group of people,” Lederman said. “Since the secondary education major was cut a few years ago, a lot of want-to-be high school teachers are members in the club.”

Next semester, the club plans to expand more of its proj-ects and services into the community.

“What we really missed out on last year was community service so this is our major focus this semester,” Frahm said. “We want to be the kind of teachers in the future that college students look up to.”

of worship, Howard said. Preventive services could include diabetes or HIV pre-

vention, Barto said. But drugs and procedures that prevent pregnancy “have obvious morally-objectionable implica-tions for a lot of people in the health care industry. To man-date that all insurers cover them and provide them, at no cost, is really an unprecedented move for the federal gov-ernment.”

Barto said the government needs to respect freedom of conscience.

Howard said the law shouldn’t be broadened to non-re-ligious places or workplaces that aren’t specifically about religion.

“To have this proposal go forward will really discriminate against employees of all faiths,” Howard said. “It’s really out of step with the view of mainstream Americans.”

Republican Sen. Linda Gray, from District 10, said con-traceptive care should be the “personal responsibility” of individuals, not the taxpayers.

“They should be paying on their own,” Gray said.Barto said if the provision goes through, it would put the

decision back into women’s hands. They would be the ones

to decide how to deal with her health care service.“But it doesn’t put the burden of providing for potentially

life-ending services or devices in the hands of mandating insurers to provide it,” Barto said. “So it definitely puts the responsibility where it belongs.”

Hobbs said the provision impacts reproductive health care. She added that there are “gender disparities” in health insurance coverage and a more inclusive approach would make access more equal.

“I really don’t think you have a right to say ‘you can take birth control or can’t, or if you do, you have to pay for it out of your pocket,’” she said.

If the proposal goes through, Hobbs said, “I definitely think it will have some electoral consequences. I think women are a large voting block and this is an issue that’s important to women.”

Hobbs and Howard said they agree this proposal would be a reversal of the progress made so far for reproductive rights.

Barto said the exemptions of the provision “should in-clude anybody that morally objects because it has to do with ending life.”

Howard said at some point in everyone’s lives, birth con-trol plays a role in planning education and careers so peo-ple “can afford the families they want to have.”

“This is really trying to roll back 50 years of health care progress,” he said.

a different way,” Hoban said. “They still haven’t resolved that.”A ParkWise representative was unavailable for comment as of

press time.Some UA students living within the Sam Hughes area said they

don’t have issues, but are hard-pressed to find places for their friends and families to park. Marisa Koven, a senior studying retail-ing and consumer sciences, said she and her roommate share two parking spaces in her apartment complex’s parking lot. Extra spac-es for visitors are hard to come by, and determining which ones

are permit-only is also difficult, Koven said.

“Every time I have a friend coming over, they always have to call and check with me and make sure that they can park outside,” Koven said. “I always have to go outside and assess the situation and see if the parking lot is full.”

Julia Leclerc, a junior study-ing speech, language and hear-ing sciences, shares a house with three roommates. De-spite having minimal parking and several restrictions on the space that is available, Leclerc said parking in general really isn’t a problem.

“We do OK because only two of us have cars,” she said. “If there were more of us, it would

be difficult.”Game days, Leclerc said, are the most difficult to deal with in

terms of parking. Sporting event spectators often park on the street, despite the restrictions that don’t allow parking on the curb.

While the parking enforcement in Sam Hughes may seem strict to some, others say that it is not only necessary, but effective, too.

“I would say they’re effective because they’re in place so that stu-dents don’t just come and park for free in Sam Hughes and walk to school,” Leclerc said. “They’re well-enforced because there isn’t ever any stray cars parked on school days. Clearly it’s working.”

proposed postal service cutbacks could end overnight mail delivery

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Ser-vice is seeking to slow down its delivery rate, the agency announced Monday, in an effort to help save $2.1 billion a year and fend off possible bankruptcy.

The proposed plan, which would go into effect next spring, would relax deliv-ery standards for first-class mail, so that it would arrive within two to three business days, largely doing away with overnight delivery for stamped mail. The delivery delay would be a byproduct of the closure of 252 mail processing plants — more than half of the total, a change the postal service announced in September.

“The U.S. Postal Service must reduce

its operating costs by $20 billion by 2015 in order to return to profitability,” said Da-vid Williams, a USPS vice president, in a statement.

“The proposed changes to service stan-dards will allow for significant consolida-tion of the postal network in terms of fa-cilities, processing equipment, vehicles and employee workforce and will generate projected net annual savings of approxi-mately $2.1 billion.”

Approximately 28,000 employees would lose their jobs as a result of the closures. The spokeswoman for the mail carrier’s union decried the move as one that would “hasten the demise of the Postal Service.”

“This is precisely the wrong direction

for the Postal Service,” said Sally Davidow, spokeswoman for the American Postal Workers Union. “The Postal Service should be modernizing and improving its service for the American people so it can remain relevant in the digital age, not slowing ser-vice and making mail less relevant.”

In the last five years, mail volume has declined by more than 43 billion pieces. The Postal Service’s bottom line has suf-fered from the resulting loss of revenue; it is faced a $14 billion budget shortfall next year. In response, the agency has proposed a series of cost reductions, including clos-ing approximately 3,700 post offices. Of-ficials have also considered ending Satur-day delivery.

On Dec. 1 and Dec. 2, the Arizona Board of Regents met in the Student Union Memorial Center to discuss financial

aid, a new football coach and football stadium expansion. Regents approved renovations to Arizona Stadium, approved new head football coach Rich Rodriguez’s contract — although they were upset that they didn’t play a bigger role in the hiring process. Most importantly they acknowledged the necessity for Arizona lawmakers to place higher education as the highest priority.

It’s no secret that education costs are jump-ing higher and higher. Perhaps even more well known is that the economy is still in a slump. If you’re looking for financial aid, it would appear you’re in luck, because financial aid allotment jumped by over 75.4 percent over the last five years. Unfortunately though, that’s a deceptive statistic. A majority of that spike in financial aid is due to an increase in student loans.

Larger tuition price tags combined with a struggling economy equals more of a financial hardship on college students. Thus they seek out financial aid, and sometimes have to settle for loans. But when the debt soars and the job market shrinks, it only leaves debt ridden unemployed scholars behind.

Fortunately, the board recognizes this. The regents could have countered the cries of tuition hikes by saying that financial aid is on the rise, but the board was thorough in its 2011 financial aid report and acknowledged that just because financial aid is increasing doesn’t necessarily mean that the cost of education is being lessened.

The board stated the need to have Arizona lawmakers appreci-ate the importance of fostering afford-able higher educa-tion. In fact, Regent Dennis DeConcini was more direct, saying that educa-tion is an invest-ment and that Arizona lawmakers need to treat it as such and not as an expense.

The board also discussed the pos-sibility of raising the requirements of full-time status to 15 credits in hopes of remedy-ing the financial aid and student loan problems. At the UA, full-time status is considered 12 units. Unfortunately, this plan doesn’t seem to pro-vide an actual solution when you consider that many students are already taking more than the minimum. According to Dan Anderson, the regents director of institutional analysis, the number of full-time equivalent students is greater than the overall headcount in the Arizona University system. Or, in other words, more students are taking on bigger loads.

While it is promising that the regents recog-nize the issues with student debt and financial aid, there needs to be some sort of cohesive effort to see to it that the same epiphany occurs at the capitol. The regents should be aware of these realities because it’s their job. The problems with financial aid are so evident that anyone who pays even the slightest attention to education can rec-ognize them. So why can’t Arizona lawmakers?

Perhaps the problem is that they are in fact aware of the student struggles to pay the aca-demic price tags, but the lawmakers just don’t care. But as several regents have expressed and as statistics show, education is truly an invest-ment with the possibilities of big returns not only for students but for states.

Anderson presented numbers that showed 80 percent of students who graduate from an Arizona university are employed, and they made an average of 80 percent more than their peers. That’s more people employed, at higher wages. This inevitably results in higher tax income for the state. As Anderson put it, “that sounds like a great way to raise taxes without raising taxes.” Perhaps an even better way to phrase it is: it increases tax revenue without even touching the tax rate.

If Arizona lawmakers can recognize this reality, then perhaps education will become the top priority it deserves to be.

In response to “Slaughterhouses: Hold your horses” (Dec. 2 issue):

An animal is an animal, no matter how much you value itHow is eating horse different from eating cow? The claim that horses

are an ‘icon’ falls short - should we stop eating cows because Hindus

and some Kemetics worship cow deities? If you are going to eat meat, accept that you are eating an animal. It is perfectly okay to not want to eat horse, but we should remember the meat we eat comes from ani-mals with their own inherent value outside of providing us with food. Value life equally, not based on which animal you like better.

Educating children should be exempt from politics. The Arizona Republic recently published a story about three

boys who came to the United States illegally through their families’ efforts.

Gerson Gonzalez, Alejandro Sau and Jonathan Labrada told their story— at the insistence of their parents — about coming illegally into the United States, assimilating into high school and learning a new language. They lived with different members of their families, some that they had never met before, just to be a part of the American education system.

Once SB1070 took effect however, families had to separate, and parents chose to leave their children in Arizona to continue school, according to Nina Rabin, a UA law professor.

These children are left to fend for them-selves, and act as their own monitor for homework, attendance and grades. They shouldn’t have to worry about being deported or arrested for being in the state illegally. But in the beginning months of SB1070, many

families were torn apart and these students feared being arrested.

Then Robert N. Krentz Jr., a rancher on the Arizona-Mexico border was killed.

“That changed things,” Gonzalez said in The Arizona Republic article. “I felt like people were looking at me differently. I didn’t kill that man. I have never hurt anybody.”

Those who are living in the United States illegally for employment or education, are not the same as those who are trying to smuggle drugs or weapons across the border. Certainly, those who were brought here and live here and do so without committing crimes are not the same as those who killed that rancher.

School administrators look the other way when it comes to a student’s immigration status, because they believe every child in their district has a right to an education, The Republic said.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much help for them after they graduate. For Gonzalez, as he waited to walk across the stage at graduation, he realized that all that would really matter

now was his legal status.Even though he was bilingual, graduated

with above a 3.0 grade point average and had never been arrested, his dreams of going to college looked dismal.

In a rare happy ending for these stories, Gonzalez got a scholarship to attend Grand Canyon University where he plans on majoring in biology before going to medical school.

However, most immigrant students won’t get that chance. The DREAM Act, which pro-vides a pathway to citizenship for illegal immi-grants who graduate high school and attend college or serve two years in the U.S. military, states on its website that “over three million students graduate from U.S. high schools every year” and that “a group of approximate-ly 65,000 youth do not get this opportunity; they are smeared with an inherited title, an illegal immigrant.”

Children should not be punished for the actions of their parents, and if they spend their lives being educated in the United States, they should be welcome to stay.

While the federal government has yet to pass the DREAM Act, California and Illinois have passed state-level solutions. Arizona should be next state to embrace this.

In response to “UA patents generate revenue, prestige” (Nov. 30 issue):

Arizona now competitive with more prestigious schools

I’ve heard it said, “capitalism without failure is like religion without sin.” Neither is perfect and yet, the world is better off with both. This university we call Arizona started out of the sand, deemed not as good as the Harvard’s & Yale’s of the world. Today, The University of Arizona has risen to be one of the best universities in the world. Our school has taken advantage of the free-market enterprise and it is indeed, the free-market place that advances this great university. Whether it be advances in science or the arts or a tally of patients, without (the) freedom that The University of Arizona (has) enjoyed, our school would be dictated to by the Harvard’s and the Yale’s of the world to its ‘little place in the sand.’

Damaged dashA University of Arizona Police Department officer went to

Sky View Apartments at 1:30 a.m. on Thursday in response to a theft. The officer met with a man who reported the dashboard of his gray Mitsubishi had been damaged and the faceplate to his stereo stolen. The man said he parked his car in the lot at the apartment building at noon on Nov. 30. He said he left his car unlocked and there was no forced entry. The only item stolen was the faceplate to the Kenwood stereo, which the owner es-timated cost $150. There are no suspects or witnesses. Victim’s rights forms were given to the man.

Greek graffitiA UAPD officer went to 1244 N. Fremont Ave. at 9 a.m. on

Thursday in response to vandalism. The officer noticed blue-and-white graffiti on the blue metal UA sign at the building. The graffiti on the left side of the sign was indecipherable, but the Greek letters Delta, Alpha and Kappa were clearly stenciled in white spray paint in the center of the sign. The officer also found that a wooden gate on the southeast side of the build-ing was broken. The officer photographed the damage and notified UA Facilities Management. Victim’s rights forms were mailed to the UA.

Fraudulent funding requestA UAPD officer responded to Old Main at 9 a.m. Thursday in

reference to a fraudulent letter sent to the UA Admissions Office. The officer met with an employee who said the letter was from an organization that identified itself as the Federal University of Technology located in Owerri, Nigeria. The letter was a request that funding be voluntarily sent to a Nigerian back account num-ber. The letter was placed into UAPD Property and Evidence.

Drugs and gunsA UAPD officer was monitoring traffic at Campbell Avenue

and Seventh Street at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday when he noticed a yellow Chevrolet Cavalier driving 53 mph in a 35 mph zone. The officer conducted a traffic stop and spoke to the driver, who provided his information and admitted he was not wearing his seatbelt. The officer conducted a records check on the man and found out that his driver’s license is suspended and that he has two outstanding warrants from Tucson Police Department for criminal speeding and marijuana possession. The officer searched the car and found a pipe and a grinder with marijuana residue in it. Behind the driver’s seat, the officer found a black backpack containing an unloaded Intratec DC9 pistol and 30 round magazine with three 9mm rounds in it. There were 13 more rounds in a bag in the backpack. The man said the weapon belonged to a friend. The man was arrested and booked into Pima County Jail for driving on a suspended license, possession of drug paraphernalia and the two TPD warrants. The back-pack and its contents were placed into property and evidence at UAPD.

Remember when Arizona didn’t have a go-to-guy, and the Wild-cats were composed of a group of role players and talented freshmen hoping that mix would translate into wins?

Solomon Hill is making those days seem like a distant memory.

Over the last six games Hill has emerged as Arizona’s clear-cut best player, averaging 14.0 points, 8.2 re-bounds, 3.0 assists and 54.7 percent shooting in 33.5 minutes.

Hill may not be the one to take a last-second shot, but he’s proven that on most nights, he’ll be Arizona’s most productive player.

He scored 15 points on 6-for-11 shooting, hauled in seven rebounds, dished out three assists and drilled two triples against the NAU Lum-berjacks on Saturday. He gave the Wildcats an interior presence on the glass and in the paint as the Los An-geles native grabbed four offensive re-bounds and dropped in four buckets at the rim.

“He played very well again today,” head coach Sean Miller said of Hill. “Some of his offensive rebounds, like Kyle (Fogg’s) 3s, almost became the difference in the game. He does a lot of good things for us.”

Hill’s always shown flashes of his diverse skill set, but it’s never come with consistency. He’s scored in dou-ble-figures in six consecutive games, the longest such streak of his three-year career.

Consistency and Solomon Hill can finally be said in the same sentence as he’s doing his part to fill the void left by Derrick Williams.

“I’m just becoming a different play-er than I have my first two years,” Hill said. “Just being somebody that can be in there and produce day in and day out.

“I knew it would be hard, espe-cially with so many people expect-ing somebody to take the full load of what Derrick had. But (I’m) just coming into my own, being relaxed, not really buying into the pressure

and focused on that.”Hill’s been thriving as Arizona’s

power forward, although he called himself a small forward early in the season. He said playing the four “feels natural” and he’s able to take advantage of slower big men guarding him.

Hill has taken advantage of his new role thus far, but with a step up in competition on the horizon, Hill has to stay on top of his game and remain the Wildcats’ No. 1 option.

“It’s just important that he stays humble, he stays hungry, that he keeps working every day and that’s what got him to where he is now,” Miller said. “To me this is nothing more than a good start. I feel like he can continue to get better as our sea-son grows.”

Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez made his first three coaching hires official on Monday and more will likely be coming soon.

The Wildcats announced the hires of Tony Dews, Calvin Magee and Tony Gibson, who left the Pittsburgh Panthers to join Rodriguez’s staff.

“I’m hoping by the end of the week I can get a couple more spots filled,” Rodriguez told the Daily Wildcat on Monday, adding that he looks at hiring a coaching staff much like recruiting in that it’s a competitive world.

Magee will act as a offensive coordinator and associate head coach. Gibson will become the Wildcats’ secondary coach and Dews will coach wide receivers.

Rodriguez said he has standing offers to a few coaches, and other prospective assistants are still sending him information every day. But for the first time in his career, Rodriguez is taking as much time as possible to find the right fits.

“It’s tough, I want guys right now getting on the road recruiting and all that,” Rodriguez said. “I’m being more deliberate than I’ve been in the past, but I think I’ll like the way it is in the end.”

Quarterbacks transferSignal-callers Tom Savage, a redshirt junior,

and Daxx Garman, a freshman, said Monday they will transfer from Arizona.

Savage sat out this past season after transferring

from Rutgers, where he was a Freshman All-American in 2009. He said his departure is a personal issue and wasn’t related to any schemes that Rodriguez would implement.

Garman was the third-string quarterback this season but didn’t see any snaps for the Wildcats.

The moves leave redshirt senior Matt Scott as the only returning quarterback on the roster, though receiver Richard Morrison, a sopho-more, originally came to Tucson with the inten-tion of playing quarterback.

Switching it upAt his first two Division I head-coaching

stops, Rich Rodriguez’s teams played on Field-Turf, a synthetic turf that’s filled with sand and rubber pellets designed to mimic grass.

Now at Arizona, Rodriguez is trying to make sure his third head-coaching gig will have the same surface.

“It’s not going to happen this year,” Rodriguez said. “We don’t know for sure, but it may happen as soon as the 2013 season.”

The first-year head coach called FieldTurf “the safest surface that’s out there,” and said its biggest advantage is that the team can practice on it every day without it getting torn up like a grass field.

Arizona’s played eight games in 26 days, and its freshmen are experiencing the daily grind

of college basketball. Meanwhile, the Wildcats’ veterans are playing 30-plus minutes a game for the first time in their careers.

Even head coach Sean Miller is feel-ing the burn.

“I don’t know if personally I’ve gone through a harder month than the one we just went through in November,” he said after the Wildcats defeated NAU on Saturday.

“Well, it’s about to get harder.”Starting Wednesday, the Wildcats

will spend their next 10 days in Gaines-ville to take on No. 12 Florida, in Tuc-son to host a well-tested Clemson pro-gram, coming from the ACC Clemson program and finally in Seattle to face the No. 22 Gonzaga Bulldogs.

If Miller thought November was difficult, these 10 days will be nearly impossible. Sure, the Wildcats have a road win over a solid New Mexico State team. Yes they took down St. John’s in Madison Square Garden.

But Arizona also looked mediocre in back-to-back games against Missis-sippi State and San Diego State. Florida and Gonzaga aren’t San Diego State or Mississippi State.

The Wildcats should like their chances against an average Clemson team, but Florida and Gonzaga may be the two best teams they play all season.

The Gators are a legitimate top-10 team with pedigree and a head coach in Billy Donovan that has won two na-

The Wildcats’ meeting with the No. 10 Florida Gators on Wednes-day has been a long time coming.

Head coach Sean Miller said that the series first began when he and his staff came to Tucson in the spring of 2009. Miller had a pre-vious series planned with Gator head coach Billy Donovan when he was at Xavier, but left the school before the Musketeers played against Florida.

Miller said the series came to fruition due to his relationship with Donovan, who was a senior at Providence College when Miller took his official visit as a senior in high school. From there, Miller said, the relationship has continued because of the places both he and Dono-van have coached.

“I respect him more than or as much as any coach in college bas-ketball,” Miller said. “It’s that relationship that got this series started.”

The Wildcats will play in Gainesville, Fla., tomorrow, and the Ga-tors will play in McKale Center next season. Arizona also hosted San Diego State on Nov. 23, and will host Clemson on Saturday.

“We want to be able to play great programs on our home court, and to do that you have to go to theirs as well,” Miller said.

Turner might startAlthough Miller said the lineup for Wednesday night’s game wasn’t

final, he said that there was “no question” that freshman guard Josiah Turner could return to the starting line up.

Miller said Turner had been practicing better and he’s been evalu-ating Turner’s progress based on his everyday practice performances, not necessarily how he’s been playing during games.

“He knows what college basketball and life as a student athlete is all about, much more so than he would have this summer,” Miller said. “It’s every day. That’s the expectations at Arizona. Not every oth-er day, or once every three or four days, you do a great job in practice.”

The last time Turner started was Arizona’s first game of the year against Valparaiso on Nov. 7.

Hill garners Pac-12 Player of the WeekJunior forward Solomon Hill was named Pac-12 Player of the Week

for his performances against New Mexico State University and NAU. The 6-foot-6, 226-pound Los Angeles native averaged 13.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5 assists through both games.

“He’s just really a valuable player for us. He right now is our team’s best player,” Miller said on Monday. “The fact that he got Pac-12 Play-er of the Week is an honor that he deserved because his performance at New Mexico State was a really, really pivotal performance.”

‘No comment’ on SidikiMiller said he wouldn’t comment on the status of former Wildcat

Sidiki Johnson, who was officially dismissed from the team on Sun-day. A press release announced that Johnson intended to transfer to another school.

tional championships. Florida took No. 3 Syra-cuse down to the wire in the Carrier Dome and have two lethal guards in Kenny Boynton and Er-ving Walker, along with Bradley Beal, one of the top freshmen in the country.

“Winning at Florida for every team in the country is difficult,” Miller said. “We know that.”

And then there’s Gonzaga. While the Bulldogs are fresh off of a loss to Illinois and aren’t unbeat-able by any means, they’re still a well-coached Mark Few team with a longstanding history of success.

Senior 7-footer Robert Sacre is one of the bet-ter big men in the country and could have his way with a vertically challenged Arizona team.

This isn’t to say Arizona can’t hang with the Gators and Bulldogs. They have the talent and the head coach to steal a win or two.

But if the Wildcats play like they have been, they’re in trouble. They can’t afford slow starts

against Florida, and they can’t give up of-fensive rebounds and second-chance points against Gonzaga.

This stretch is Arizona’s first true test of the season, one that could go a long way in cata-pulting them toward an impressive Pac-12 sea-son, or one that could hurt the confidence of a young team.

“The next three games are going to decide our future,” forward Solomon Hill said.

While Hill may be going a little too far with that statement, he clearly understands the im-portance of these three games. And after the buzzer sounds on Dec. 17 in Seattle, it will be apparent who this 2011-12 Arizona basketball team really is.

“Can we win one, can we win two? My goodness could you win three, or can you get shut out?” Miller asked rhetorically. “I think all are possible.”

Miller would not confirm if Johnson was still enrolled at the UA, or if he was in Tucson. He did not say if there were red flags that he noticed previously in the season.

“I’m not going to comment on Sidiki John-son,” Miller said.

Johnson made three appearances for the Wildcats, totaling seven minutes and one point on one made free throw.

Miller said he wouldn’t comment after John-son transfers or when the semester is over. Johnson was suspended indefinitely on Nov. 21.

No easy gamesArizona’s season has been riddled with

close games, with the largest margin of victory

coming against NAU on Saturday. The Wildcats defeated the Lumberjacks 53-39.

But Miller said the close games could help prepare Arizona down the road in conference and postseason play but added that the close-ness could come with consequences.

“I do think it’s helped us,” Miller said. “We’ll see the benefits of that down the road where maybe we’re more comfortable in close games.

“The negative is it can really wear you out a little bit. Not a little bit; it can wear you out a lot, mentally and physically.”

The Wildcats play Florida on Wednesday be-fore traveling back across the country to play Clemson on Saturday and then heading to Se-attle to face Gonzaga on Dec. 17.

Miller said he wished that Arizona could have a situation where some choice players could see more time based on the Wildcats’ leads. He spe-cifically cited Angelo Chol, who he said could have played more on Saturday against NAU.

Coming soonArizona is scheduled to break ground

on its North End Zone project sometime in January, and Rodriguez said he couldn’t be more excited.

“I look at (the plans) every day,” Rodriguez said. “I want to put them all over campus for ev-eryone to see. For me, that’s a big deal. I can’t say enough about how important that is to show that we take football seriously here at the Uni-versity of Arizona.”

Rodriguez said that once his coaching staff is finalized, it will sit down with the athletic de-partment and make any minor tweaks to the facility that it thinks are necessary.

“The athletic department has been great,” Rodriguez said. “I feel so good about everybody

pulling that direction.”

Climbing upWhile at Michigan, Rodriguez told the ath-

letic department that he thought his fourth year at the school would be when the Wolverines would start having success. He didn’t make it that far, and Rodriguez said he hasn’t had a sim-ilar conversation with Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne.

“I’m hoping it doesn’t take that long,” Rodri-guez said, adding that he’ll be able to make a more accurate projection after spring practice.

But Rodriguez wasn’t shy about saying what level he wants his football team to be at and where he wants it to stay.

“The level I want is top 10 every year,” Rodri-guez said. “You may be one, you may be five or six, but you’re going to be in that conversation every year. We’re not there right now. I’ll keep working as hard as I can until we get there.”

SEATTLE — Mike Leach had just gotten the Texas Tech coaching job in 1999 when he and an assistant coach flew from Lubbock down to Odessa to recruit a decorated receiver named Roy Williams.

“Amazing looking kid,” said Manny Matsakis, the former assistant.

They told him they’d throw the ball all over the place at Texas Tech, and at the end, they told him, “Before we’re done, we’re going to beat Texas.”

Of course, Williams went on to a prolific ca-reer at Texas. But on a November night in 2002, Tech beat the Longhorns, 42-38, and afterward, Williams met Matsakis at midfield and shook his hand.

“He goes, ‘Coach, nothing against the Uni-versity of Texas, but if I had it to do over again,’ ” Matsakis recalls, “ ‘I’d have come to Texas Tech.’ ”

But for what? For the 65 passes the Red Raid-ers sometimes threw at opponents? For the card trick the head coach regularly plays on recruits? For a window into the eclectic soul of Mike Leach, who is as apt to be up late at night discussing 18th-century pirates or the politics of Herman Cain as he is the options on the for-ward-passing tree?

Here’s the advisory from Hal Mumme, Leach’s old passing co-conspirator, on what’s in store at Washington State, which just hired Leach:

“You’re going to have more fun than you ever had.”

Apparently, it’s not going to be boring, on the field or off, and you suspect that’s exactly what athletic director Bill Moos had in mind.

“If you ever want to sit down with him,” says Wes Welker, the New England Patriots receiver, “take a seat. You could be there for a while.”

To read his 2011 biography, “Swing Your Sword,” and then to hook up with some of Leach’s old players, coaches and cronies is to re-alize that a school with a long tradition of char-acters might have just signed the king of them.

“He’s infinitely curious about everything,” says actor Matthew McConaughey, a friend, in Leach’s book.

Leach, son of a forester, grew up mostly in the mountain West. In Cody, Wyo., he idolized Bart Starr and Billy Martin. Raised Mormon, he went to Brigham Young and was fascinated by the of-fense there, but didn’t play football, one of few such major-college coaches.

He got a law degree from Pepperdine, but mulling a career path, something told him to write to the famed trial lawyer Gerry Spence.

“Was it worth it?” Leach relates in his book. “Do you love law? Do you hate law?”

Spence wrote back: “If you are consumed by law, go be an attorney. If you are not, find some-thing else.”

So Leach got an advanced degree at the U.S. Sports Academy in Daphne, Ala., then con-vinced his wife, Sharon, whom he had met at BYU, to take a flyer on a part-time football as-sistant’s job at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo—at $3,000 a year.

In the late 1980s, he heard Mumme was look-ing for an offensive coordinator at bare-bones Iowa Wesleyan.

“I only had like two or three people even in-terested,” Mumme says. “I got his resume and saw it had BYU on it. At least he had some famil-iarity with the offense.

“We had more fun than anybody deserves. It was a blast.”

Mike and Sharon Leach lived in a trailer. “Not a double-wide,” Mumme says. “A camp trailer, like you pull behind your car. Some guy do-nated it to the booster club, and they set it up in a campground. I’m not sure what it was used for before Mike and Sharon had it. It probably wasn’t anything good.”

They won there, and it all took off. Mumme and Leach were at Valdosta State from 1992 to ‘96, setting all sorts of passing records. Mumme got hired as Kentucky’s coach and Leach went with him, and they had future No. 1 NFL pick Tim Couch at quarterback.

Then Leach split with Mumme and joined Bob Stoops’ staff at Oklahoma in 1999. He was there just a year — “I think Bob thought he could keep him a little bit longer than he did,” Mumme says—before Texas Tech hired him.

In wind-swept west Texas, Leach went 84-43 and got his teams in 10 straight bowl games. One year, Tech scored 70 on Texas Christian and then did it again three weeks later against Nebraska. The Raiders put up all sorts of astro-nomical numbers, using what Mumme says is a spread offense heavy on BYU accent but with elements of the Mouse Davis/June Jones run-and-shoot, in which receivers and quarterbacks have options depending on the defense.

Welker clicks off the hot offenses of today—Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Houston, West Vir-ginia—and says, “They’re all his scheme.”

Several NFL players from Texas Tech contact-ed by The Seattle Times spoke enthusiastically of Leach.

“I don’t think you could ask for a better coach,” said Manny Ramirez, a guard for the Denver Broncos.

“I don’t care if you’re an All-American or a walk-on, he’ll treat you the same,” says Daniel Loper, a Cowboys offensive tackle.

“If you talk to the guy, you’ll see he’s on an-other level intellectually,” says center Dylan Gandy of the Detroit Lions. “But he’s not pre-tentious or pompous in any way. He’s very ap-proachable.”

It’s cold as shit outside this morning. How are you feeling about that?It’s kind of a nice change in Tucson, but I like the sun more.

As long as the sun’s out, it’s okay.

If it were snowing right now, what would you be thinking?I’d be playing in the snow!

Very good answer. Have you ever gotten frostbite before?I have not. I hope not to.

Same here. If you did have frost-bite, however — let’s say, in your

big toe — what would you do with it?Just trick people into believing I still have sensation in it? I think I might. You gotta take advantage of situa-tions like that.

Did you have to scrape the ice off your car this morning?I did not. Luckily, I didn’t have to drive this morning.

Do you live on campus?I don’t, but I stayed over the night.

Do tell!Just sleeping at a friend’s dorm.

Oh, okay. I’ve done that before.Yeah, cutting down on gas.

• Dec. 22 marks the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year and the beginning of winter.

• Areas with lakes have what is called lake-effect snow, which happens when the lake’s water temperature has not dropped far and the winds pick up water vapor from the lake. As the vapor moves, it freezes and drops a lot of snow in a

short amount of time.• If you find yourself in a

car during extreme winter weather, pull over and do the following: stay in the car, only turn the heat on once every hour for 10 minutes at a time, open the window once in a while to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning and make sure the gas pipe isn’t blocked by piling snow.

Pisces — Today is a 9 — Take care not to double book. Reconfirm appointments, and call if you’ll be late to dinner. It’s easy to get lost in your research since it’s so fascinating.

today’s birthday: you’re full of ideas for making more money. get them down in writing, and develop the top three. a golden opportunity suddenly opens up; go

ahead and say yes. use your charm and your connections, and get what you ask for.

You just blew our minds. Awesome question!

Are your drunken words and actions revealing sober truths? On a deeper level, we imagine what you are asking is, are you more your “authentic” self when you are sober or does being inebriated and“loose” actually reveal your true nature and what you really think? Thisquestion, “what is real,” has forever boggled philosophers, poets, andcollege students.

So, let’s get philosophical and start with the following assumptions,definitions, and logic path:

To know what is “real,” we have to be conscious of ourselves and our surroundings in a specific time frame (the present or the “now”).Consciousness is information and ultimately an awareness ofawareness of self and environment in time. All time is comprised in the “now.” And, only conscious experience in the “Now” is real. Whew!

Adding alcohol to your body alters your consciousness. Any alteredconsciousness is just that, it’s altered and ultimately alters your“authentic” self. For example, when inebriated, you may do and saythings you might not normally do when sober, like telling your roommatehow hideous their favorite outfit really is or sending an embarrassingdrunk-text. However, this makes you no less responsible for your actions.“The alcohol made me do it,” is not a reason for forgiveness.

When we drink, there is neurological and psychological regression. The higher the alcohol level, the more crude and hostile impulses may become. (Lookin’ at you, Mel Gibson!) This is due to a compromisedability of the brain’s neocortex to rein in those primitive instincts and compulsions.

So, what do you want “real” to look like for you?

Next time, attend a party sober and see what “real” looks like in otherswho are drinking. “Real,” often looks a lot like sloppy behaviors,drama, and poor decisions which could lead to regret and potentiallyharmful situations. Do you really want to be“that girl or guy” who embarrasses themself or do you want to be the one conscious and incontrol of what’s “Real?”

Can you dig it?!

After a semester of using iPads in place of printed materials, students in the UA College of Medicine say the devices made their study-ing more organized, streamlined and efficient.

At the beginning of the semester, the college implemented a pilot project to go paperless by allowing students to have the option of car-rying around an iPad instead of thousands of pages of notes.

According to Dr. Kevin Moynahan , deputy dean of education for the College of Medicine , 107 out of 116 medical students of the class of 2015 decided to receive an iPad instead of the printed syllabi. Moynahan said next year the iPads will be mandatory for students.

He said the cost of giving an iPad to a stu-dent is beneficial for a number of reasons. The cost is cheaper in the short and long term, it is more environmentally friendly and it is easier for the students. All of the course material can be received on the iPad and online instead of having students lug around a huge number of books and printed material.

“I thought it was pretty useful. It’s differ-ent from what we used in undergrad,” said Andy Chuu , a medical student . “With all the apps that came out that people are design-ing there are a lot of cool quiz and flash-card programs that you can use that integrate re-ally well with it.”

He said he was glad to have it because it was more convenient than carrying books and printed material.

Medical student Cheryl Mcintosh said the iPad has been useful to her.

“Right from the beginning (of the semester) I started using it for everything. It has worked out really well,” Mcintosh said.

For some students, the iPad has changed the

way they study.“It has streamlined everything and made

it more efficient,” said medical student Chris Shultz .

In addition, he said that he looks forward to seeing where this technology will be useful in the future. He said he can envision doctors eventually carrying iPads into the rooms with the patients to show them all the necessary in-formation that they need to know.

“It seems like this will definitely change the medical system,” Schultz said.

Many students in the College of Medicine were given an iPad as part of their acceptance to use for schoolwork. Students said they enjoy the alterna-tive learning methods with the device.

Students call iPad program a success

Awareness campaigns, using better air filters and developing methods for pesticide growers to ensure dangerous material doesn’t end up in a worker’s house or the food consumers eat are methods to combat the problems. Yuma exports cotton and alfalfa, and is the winter let-tuce capital of the world, Sugeng said.

“Unless you actually implement changes, the research doesn’t mean a whole lot,” she said.

Vivien Lee, another environmental health sciences graduate student , received honorable mention in the Environmental Grad Research Blitz for studying a disease called Schistosomi-asis that is contracted when skin is exposed to parasites found in water. Agricultural workers and children living in rural, underdeveloped

countries are most at risk for infection, accord-ing to a press release.

The master’s program in environmental health sciences has only existed for two years, so Sugeng and Lee winning top prizes is a tes-tament to the program’s potential impact on the UA’s environmental research, said Paloma Beamer, an assistant professor of environmen-tal health sciences in the Mel and Enid Zucker-man College of Public Health , Sugeng’s faculty adviser and Yuma research collaborator.

Sugeng is still analyzing the data, but said she hopes her research contributes to long-term improvements to the living conditions of farm workers and their communities, especially women and children.

“We tend to think about pesticides only from a consumer point of view,” she said. “A lot of times we forget about the farm workers and how risky their profession really is.”
