The back-to-school blood drive is falling short of the American Red Cross’ expectations.

Today is the last day of the blood drive hosted by the Red Cross on the UA Mall this week.

Mary Owen , a Tech II work-ing at the UA blood drive, said the turnout for this particular drive is slower than usual. It is usually pretty busy, Owen said.

While there is a daily quota the American Red Cross hopes to meet for the blood drive, Owen wasn’t sure it would be met.

Debra Deininger, communica-tions manager at the American Red Cross , said the blood unit quota for Monday was 35 and the Red Cross received only 34 through donations. The goals for Tuesday and Wednesday were both 30 units. 22 units were donated on Tuesday and 33 on Wednesday, leaving the Red Cross six units of blood be-low their quota so far. The quota for today is once again 35 units.

The American Red Cross is planning another blood drive beginning next week on Feb. 2, and the organization hopes to perhaps meet their donation goals during that drive.

It is crucial for the American Red Cross Arizona Blood

Services Region to meet their quotas because the state of Arizona usually stores one and a half days worth of blood on the shelves, according to Owen, who said they should have more in case of a disaster.

After someone donates their blood at a blood drive, it is packed and shipped to Pomona,

Calif . to be scanned into a da-tabase. Test tubes of the indi-vidual units of blood are sent to Portland, Ore. , one of � ve Red Cross National Testing Laboratories , to be tested for in-fectious diseases.

If the unit tests positive for a disease, the donation is discard-ed and the donator is informed.

If the blood is safe, it is la-beled by blood type, released and returned to the community where it was collected.

Owen said the donations re-turn in roughly three days to the hospitals in Arizona because the American Red Cross has con-tractual agreements with them.

Blood drive coming up short

These “doctors” are hoping their “patients” start to look a lit-tle green.

The House Energy Doctor pro-gram , started in 1986 , is a course where graduate architecture stu-dents prescribe how buildings can save more energy. This semes-ter, the UA Of� ce of Sustainability suggested the students target the UA campus.

“I told them if they � ll all the campus buildings … if it is ful-ly � lled with PVs (photovolic panels), we cannot meet our de-mand,” said Nader Chalfoun , House Energy Doctor Program director and professor of architec-

ture and environmental sciences. “So, if we really want to be a net zero campus and reduce our car-bon footprint, it’s not by using … solar panels. The solution is, � rst, reduce the consumption that is currently consumed by the cam-pus buildings. We need to cut that at least into half.”

The � rst buildings the program will examine are three Residence Life buildings: Maricopa Residence Hall, La Aldea gradu-ate housing complex and Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall.

“This campus pays $2 million every month, I think. In my theo-ry, we can save 50 percent on con-sumption. That’s an easy task,” Chalfoun said. “If we can save 50 percent, then we have $1 million

every month. For 12 months, we have $12 million. Then we can overcome the cuts the state is try-ing to give us, one hit after an-other.”

The process begins with train-ing the students about energy conservation in buildings. The second step is an intensive ener-gy audit where the students go and perform several tests on the building.

This process is expected to take three hours for Residence Life buildings.

Lastly, the prescription process takes place where students meet with building owners. Now that students understand the anato-my of the building, they can make

Students reflect on drained Rec pool By Alexander Vega


Robert Alcaraz/Arizona Daily WildcatThe Student Recreational Center’s drained swimming pool is being resurfaced on Wednesday. Workers are resurfacing the floor of the pool and the surrounding deck.

CAIRO — Pockets of rebel-lion echoed across Cairo on Wednesday as security forces tightened their grip on the capital and activists tried not to lose the momentum sparked a day earlier by an unprecedented nationwide protest against President Hosni Mubarak.

The Interior Ministry — stunned by the size and passion of Tuesday’s demonstrations — announced it would not tolerate further protests. Activists in parts of the city de� ed the ministry’s threats of “immediate arrest.” But the crackdown appeared to keep thousands of protesters, angered by unemployment and repres-sion, from venturing back into the streets.

The April 6th Youth Movement, which organizes protests through Facebook, said it was not de-terred by a police presence that grew larger throughout the day. The group, which wants to topple Mubarak’s three-decade-old gov-ernment, said it was planning a large demonstration after Friday prayers, a provocation that would likely trigger unrest not seen since Egypt’s deadly “bread riots” of 1977.

The day was marked by police quickly chasing protesters away as they attempted to gather. More than 2,000 demonstrators arrived at a courthouse near the National Museum. Minutes later, police closed in, scattering the dissi-dents, some of whom threw rocks and set tires on � re as they � ed. Protesters were often out of com-munication with one another, as Twitter and other social network-ing accounts were blocked.

Authorities said a man in the city of Suez became the fourth per-son, including a policeman, to die of injuries in protests. A witness says a government building in Suez was also on � re Wednesday night.

At least 500 people have re-portedly been arrested this week, scores of them before dawn on

The Student Recreation Center pool was recently drained for the first time in a decade.

Lacey John , aquatics pro-gram coordinator for Campus Recreation, said students shouldn’t think that they were swimming in stale water last semester because this is com-pletely normal when main-taining a pool.

The Rec Center pool is cur-rently being renovated and re-plastered.

However, a pool should not be drained for simply cleaning the water. If a pool is drained and has water underneath its shell, it can heave and be lifted out of the ground. A pool should only be drained for diluting total dissolved solids like metals

and to perform maintenance on the plaster, wrote Ray Cronise , a certified building professional, in an article.

The pool and decks are cleaned daily and the chemi-cal levels are checked fre-quently, John said.

Major upkeep, like the pool’s ongoing renovation, is much more infrequent and re-quires the pool to be drained, John said.

Students didn’t believe that the Rec Center would have them swimming in 10-year-old water in the first place.

“They don’t tell you that stuff, you assume that they fix and clean it,” said Doug Berlinski , an undeclared sophomore. “It’s good that they fix the pool now instead of later.”

Berlinski said that he used

Obama pushes for unity in wake of shooting

‘HEROISM IS HERE’

Standing before an audience of more than 13,000 in McKale Center , with an almost equal number watching via video from the nearby Arizona Stadium , President Barack Obama took a thoughtful pause.

“On Saturday morning, Gabby, her staff and many of her constituents gathered outside of a supermarket to exercise their right to peaceful assembly and free speech,” he said. “They were ful� lling a central tenant of democracy and the vision by our founders … That is the quintessentially American scene that was shattered by a gunman’s bullets.”

Obama and several high-ranking members of his cabinet

were present in Tucson as part of the “Together We Thrive: Tucson and America” memorial event held to honor the 19 victims and six fatalities of last Saturday’s shooting spree, an attack that took the life of federal district Judge John Roll and left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition at University Medical Center.

“There is nothing I can say that will � ll the sudden hole torn in your hearts,” Obama said. “But know this. The hopes of the nation are here tonight. We mourn with you for the fallen. We join you in your grief. We add our faith

Group experiments for energy efficiencyENERGYcontinued from page 1

suggestions on how to � x prob-lems and how to use the build-ing to its fullest potential.

“They just love it. This is their passion. Especially that this is a project for the students and by the students and going back to the students,” Chalfoun said. “In a sustainable economy like today, they are very, very well prepared, especially for the job market. If any people are hiring student architects, today they are hiring those type, the sus-tainable. That is why my stu-dents are very popular and they are very demanded.”

Examining campus build-ings is something Chalfoun has wanted to do for a long time.

A.J. Mach , an architecture graduate student with a design and energy concentration, thinks they will be able to improve stu-dents’ quality of life.

“(If) we have students who are refreshed in good learning environments, then it provides for the whole,” Mach said.

An all-female team will be assembled to audit Maricopa, the all-female residence hall. The students will be going into mostly public areas of the building,s and they think they will be able to use one student room to get an idea about how students’ rooms operate.

To complete their task, students have several instruments at their disposal, such as the UA-patented Azimuth protractor , a tool that allows them to determine a building’s exact location in relation to the sun. The UA is the only university

with this instrument. The UA is also home to a wind

tunnel, an instrument held at only two other schools in the U.S.: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of California, Berkeley . Students use this, along with a building model, to study how air will move through the building.

Because of the Arizona heat, many buildings are “leaky,” meaning there are cracks under doorframes or gaps near win-dows where the air condition-ing can leak out or heat can get in. This problem occurs so fre-quently because as it gets warm-er, materials tend to expand, but when it begins to cool off, they will shrink back to normal size, causing gaps to appear. This is why the roads in Arizona de-teriorate quickly, according to Chalfoun.

To discover where the gaps appear, students will pressur-ize a room using a door blaster which uses a mock doorframe with a large fan attachment. As the room is pressurized, stu-dents will use smoke sticks to release smoke and trace where it goes.

Investigating how a building uses daylight and absorbs heat is crucial to students’ investi-gations. For example, a darker color roof will absorb more heat and make a building warmer. Students use a photometer to see how much various surfaces re� ect and absorb.

Another important aspect of having the right amount of daylight in a building is cutting

down the use of electric light, which generates heat, creating a “burden on your air condition-ing,” Chalfoun said.

Virginia Cardona , an architec-ture graduate student with a de-sign and energy concentration , is curious to see how the three UA buildings the group is test-ing match up in ef� ciency be-cause they were constructed several years apart.

“It’s a different experience. We’re used to residential build-ings,” said Viviana Barquero , an architecture graduate student with a concentration in energy and design.

In the typical fall semester, students examine residential buildings and move on to big-

ger buildings in the spring, but looking at their own campus will be a different experience. The groups’ energy audit and as-sessment will take place around the end of February.

Mach described their group as a “well-oiled machine” not-ing that adjustments “might be small changes but they have a big impact.”

Ernie Somoza/Arizona Daily WildcatGraduate students, from left, Al Mach , Omar Al-Hassawi and Viviana Barquero , from the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, working with the House Energy Doctor program, explain on Tuesday how they pressurize a room to look for gaps where air condition-ing or heat may leak from a building. The students will be visiting residence halls to study and propose methods for maximizing energy effi ciency around campus.

WASHINGTON — Federal def-icit spending will rise to $1.5 tril-lion this year, according to a re-port released Wednesday.

The report comes on the heels of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address and in the midst of a burgeoning debate in Washington over federal budget

cuts and spending, a front-line ar-gument between Obama and con-gressional Republicans.

The report from the Congressional Budget Of� ce said federal debt over the next decade will continue to balloon to unsus-tainable levels unless federal tax and spending policies change.

Republicans voted on Tuesday, before Obama’s speech, to revert

federal spending to 2008 levels.“A few years ago, reduc-

ing spending was important. Today, it’s imperative,” Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the House Budget Committee, said in the GOP’s of� cial response to Obama’s speech. “Instead of re-storing the fundamentals of eco-nomic growth, (Obama) engaged in a stimulus spending spree that

not only failed to deliver on its promise to create jobs, but also plunged us even deeper into debt.”

Democrats have slammed the GOP’s move Tuesday as a “bud-getless resolution.”

“I want Republicans to take the de� cit seriously — to join President Obama and Democrats in making the hard choices it will

take to get out of debt. But so far, with the opportunity to � nally back up their words, they’ve giv-en our country a record of disap-pointment,” Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., the minority whip, said in a statement.

Lawmakers will soon face a showdown on spending when Congress must vote to approve rais-ing the limit on the nation’s debt.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s $11.4 billion plan to bolster Afghanistan’s security forc-es is “at risk” because of poor plan-ning, a government watchdog agen-cy concluded in a report released Wednesday.

Auditors with the of� ce of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction said the U.S. government “could not provide the plans or justi� cations” for building nearly 900 police sta-tions and garrisons and other facili-ties for Afghanistan’s national secu-rity forces.

The program is a linchpin of President Barack Obama’s strat-egy to strengthen Afghan security

forces so 100,000 U.S. troops can come home by the end of 2014.

While American policymak-ers struggle to resuscitate the U.S. economy, American taxpayers are � nancing an unprecedented con-struction boom in Afghanistan for new schools and clinics, electricity and water and roads and bridges.

McClatchy Newspapers also dis-covered that dozens of structures across the country either were poor-ly constructed or never completed at all. Tens of thousands of Afghan soldiers who were supposed to be living in garrisons were still housed in tents.

In response to the auditors’ re-port, military of� cials acknowl-edged problems with their plans, but said they had since taken steps

that address them.SIGAR also pointed out that the

U.S. government doesn’t have a long-term strategy for maintaining the buildings.

As a result, the U.S. has awarded two contracts to ITT Corp. totaling $800 million to help maintain the facilities.

Although it had previously vio-lated export laws, ITT got the con-tract. The � rm admitted in 2007 to sending classi� ed materials to for-eign nations, including China.

McClatchy Newspapers found that ITT’s work was one of near-ly $4.5 billion in contracts in Afghanistan that were awarded to companies even though they violat-ed laws or had high-pro� le disputes over previous projects.

LOS ANGELES — Toyota Motor Corp. announced anoth-er large global recall Wednesday, this time for a variety of problems in the fuel systems of many dif-ferent models produced by the Japanese automaker.

“When it comes to recalls, all the manufacturers are on high alert. They are quick to announce recalls because they all want to make sure they are not caught hiding some-thing,” said James Bell, an analyst with auto information company Kelley Blue Book. “But unfortu-nately for Toyota and Lexus, it has become a story on its own.”

In the United States, Toyota said it will recall about 245,000 cars from its upscale Lexus line to inspect a fuel pressure sensor. The vehi-cles include the 2006 through 2007 Lexus GS300/350, the 2006 through early 2009 Lexus IS250, and the 2006 through early 2008 Lexus IS350.

Toyota said that the pressure sen-sor could loosen over time and cause a fuel leak. Owners will be told of the recall by mail. They can also call 800-255-3987 or look up details at http://www.lexus.com/recall.

The automaker also said it will recall about 1.3 million vehicles not sold in the U.S. to � x different fuel system problems. Almost 400,000 of those autos have two different defects to be inspected or � xed.

Many of those recalls will take place in Europe, where Toyota is considered another Asian brand rather than a market leader as in the U.S., and could hurt the auto-maker’s image, Bell said.

“They probably can’t do any more damage to the brand in the U.S.,” he said.

This new wave of recalls come almost a year after Toyota brie� y stopped building some of its most popular models in the U.S. and suspended sales of the cars to � x a problem with sticky gas pedals.

The company has recalled well over 10 million autos over the past 18 months.

Hampered by the recalls and the record payment of nearly $50 million in federal � nes for failing to promptly inform regulators of defects in its vehicles and delay-ing recalls, Toyota saw its share of the U.S. auto market fall to 15.2 percent last year, from 17 percent in 2009.

Toyota was the only major auto company to see U.S. sales de-crease last year from 2009.

Last year, Chevrolet outsold the Toyota brand for the � rst time since 2007, and Ford outsold Toyota for the � rst time since 2006.

Analysts say that GM, which owns Chevrolet, could catch Toyota to once again become the world’s largest auto company. GM’s global sales rose 12.2 per-cent to 8.4 million vehicles last year. Global sales for Toyota rose 8 percent to 8.42 million.

LOS ANGELES — Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, shot in the head during a shoot-ing outside a supermarket in Tucson, continues her remark-able recovery and was moved Wednesday from a Houston hospital to a nearby rehabili-tation facility.

Giffords, whose condition was upgraded from serious to good, was taken from Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center hospital to TIRR Memorial Hermann, where her rehabili-tation will begin, according to television footage shot by local stations and broadcast by the national cable networks.

A news helicopter photo-graphed Giffords being wheeled

into the facility on a gurney.Giffords had been meeting

with constituents Jan. 8 when a lone gunman opened � re, hitting her in the head. Six people were killed in the attack and 13, in-cluding Giffords, were injured.

The three-term Democratic congresswoman had been treat-ed in Tucson, then taken to Texas, where she had been in the intensive care unit since her ar-rival last week.

Jared Lee Loughner pleaded not guilty Monday to federal charges of trying to assassinate the congresswoman and two of her aides. Loughner also faces murder charges in the deaths of federal employees, including a judge and a Giffords aide.

Thank goodness the second week of school is coming to an end. I don’t know how much longer I could take of “Hi! My name is Mallory. I am a senior from Modesto, California studying commu-nication and religious studies.” Nobody cares about that shit. My classmates would find greater satisfaction in know-ing about each other’s availability, history of STDs and potential commitment issues. The first lesson of Spanish class should be to determine whether to use “estas” or “eres” when asking, “are you DTF?” and not how to ask, “how are you?”

Professors should start acting as wing-men by implementing icebreakers that reveal useful information or by requir-ing each student to friend one another on Facebook. I mean honestly, what good is a professor if he or she is not willing to put in a little work for his or her students?

Imagine walking into class the first day

to a professor who requires you to pair off in boy-girl dyads. During the first five min-utes of class you two are to discuss your thoughts on one-night stands, topless tu-toring and whether or not you respond to booty calls. Once the five minutes are up, rather than pretending to remember your partner’s name or where he’s from, you go around the class and share what you learned about your partner. At the end of class, each student hands in a paper to the teacher with his/her name, phone num-ber, and headshot so the professor can cre-ate a phone tree to be emailed to the entire class by the end of the week. Holler.

This would drastically change the qual-ity of life for college students. Wouldn’t it be nice to know from day one whether or not the pretty little thing in o-chem is as freaky in the sheets as she is serious about the periodic table? It would take the guess-ing component of figuring out who’s who

in your classes. Guys would no longer flirt aimlessly with each girl in the class in or-der to figure out who is the smartest floo-zy, and girls would not fall victim to the hopeless game of a privileged but dumb college boy. Within the first five minutes of class, everyone’s role would become evident.

Students aren’t the only ones that would benefit from this new take on icebreakers; professors might capture the attention of the students who would otherwise be Facebook-stalking classmates in order to find out any bit of information — whether or not some-one has a bf or gf, parties or is promiscuous. Time would not be wasted trying to flirt or make weekend plans but instead used for its actual purpose — learning.

You know that sneaking, sinking feel-ing you sometimes get at the end of a semester, after you’ve battled

through final exams and papers and gotten your grades back? That feeling that, wheth-er you got straight “A’s”, the occasional “C” or straight-up failed, you didn’t really learn much?

Unfortunately, what may once just have been negative self-talk is proving star-tlingly true, according to a new book from University of Chicago Press. The book’s au-thors, in a study of 2,300 students at a wide variety of colleges and universities, found that across the board, college students aren’t learning much at all.

It’d be easy to discount the findings in the book, “Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses,” if the au-thors had attempted to measure students’ grasp of content. After all, there’s no guar-antee that students in diverse schools and majors would learn even remotely the same facts. But the study used the Collegiate Learning Assessment, which measures ba-sic building blocks of education, including critical thinking and analytical reasoning, skills all higher education should provide, regardless of subject.

According to the book, 45 percent of stu-dents didn’t show a “significant improve-ment in learning” over two years of college; 36 percent showed no such improvement in four years of college.

The study also looked at the rigorous-ness of college classes and, not surprising-ly, found that to be sorely lacking. What’s interesting in the study, though, is what it defines as rigorous.

It’s not advanced math or science classes, or high-level classes in the social and be-havioral sciences, that define “rigor” in this instance. It’s good, old-fashioned reading and writing.

According to the survey, roughly 50 per-cent of students had never taken a course requiring 20 or more pages of writing, and a third had not been assigned even 40 pag-es of reading in a single class.

The UA can learn a lot from these star-tling findings. As a public research institu-tion, its focus tends to be just that — research. Students are siphoned off from before their first day on campus into degree programs, with little room to explore or take classes in different disciplines. The general education classes required of all university students are notoriously lame and, regardless of the claims in course descriptions, far from reading and writing intensive. We’ve all taken some vari-ety of freshman English; we all know what a sad excuse for a reading and composition-based class that is. Some teachers manage to wade through all the mediocrity and teach a passable English 101 class, but those occa-sions are few and far between.

And after English 101, for many stu-dents, that’s it. Any writing will be done in lab reports; reading will be even scarcer. Even English classes are hit and miss when it comes to rigor and volume of very basic skills like reading and writing.

This doesn’t mean that the UA, a top-notch school for research, should de-emphasize its strongest suit. Instead, the school needs to stop undervaluing and underestimating its students. It also needs to acknowledge that even some-one who is capable of building a groundbreak-ing piece of astronomical equipment of discov-ering a cure for some exotic disease simply must have the building blocks of a college education in his or her arsenal, too. Those building blocks include critical thinking and analytical reason-ing, which are in turn built from the very basics — reading and writing.

In order to provide a viable, well-round-ed educational experience for its students that results in real learning, the UA must begin to emphasize — really emphasize, not sugarcoat or fake it — the fundamen-tal skills of an educated person. If mediocre requisite classes are the only ones offered, they’ll be the only ones taken. The UA must trust its students with more rigorous fun-damentals in order to create, not just pro-fessionals, but thoughtful, educated hu-man beings.

CON: Empty speech filled with hypocrisy

President Barack Obama’s speech Tuesday night was one of the dull-est State of the Union speeches in memory. While it had a few mo-ments of surprise, it was mostly dominated by empty rhetoric, hy-pocrisy and unintended humor.

It is always nice to see our poli-ticians use humor. The president mocked the TSA pat down screenings, made fun of overblown bureaucracies that regu-late salmon, and tried to crack a few oth-er jokes. However, his funniest moments came when Obama was apparently trying to be sincere.

Obama attempted to take credit for the success in Iraq when it was he that led the charge against the surge of troops that won the war.

He called for a five-year spending freeze. This, after spending half the speech pontificating the need for more stimulus spending and embarking during the last two years, on the largest spending binge in American history. It should be noted that in last year’s State of the Union speech,

Obama called for a three year spending freeze. What happened?

The president also stated, “Thanks to the tax cuts we passed, Americans’ pay-checks are a little bigger today,” yet the only “tax cuts” that were passed were ac-tually tax rate continuations that the pres-ident vehemently fought against. He lat-er denounced small business owners and said they should pay higher taxes, which in no way will lead to job growth.

Another humorous moment was when he vowed to veto any bill that contained earmarks. This one even made Joe Biden laugh. President Obama has signed count-less earmark-filled bills without any re-gard. There is no doubt that this will be the first promise of the speech that is broken.

Finally, the president continued this call

for biparti-

sanship. While the seating chart was one worthy of the Clarence W. Dupnik Center for Civility, the past two years shall not be forgotten. Obamacare was passed via rec-onciliation. That was not bipartisanship. President Obama has led the most parti-san agenda in recent history. Now he calls for a truce? Not a chance.

Letters from

PRO: Criticism of speech shortsightedDuring Tuesday’s State of the Union

Address, President Barack Obama spoke openly of the competition the United States faces in the 21st century from countries like China and India. Both nations, while less developed compared to American standards, have seen rapid economic growth over the past decade and have invested a con-siderable amount of money into re-search and education. Today, China is an extremely modern country with a growing middle class and has become the world’s second largest economy. During his address, President Obama stated that America needs to invest in

its future if it’s to compete with the countries of the developing world. He called for an increased focus on edu-cation and commitment to recruiting more teachers, lab researchers and en-gineers. All of these things are exactly what the United States needs if it’s to remain in a dominant position.

However, Republican leaders have spoken out against the president’s call, claiming it to be just another ex-ample of big government spending. Unfortunately, the Republican Party couldn’t be more shortsighted. They will continue to speak out against large deficits and government waste, but will ignore the legitimate challeng-

es our nation faces over the next cen-tury. The deficit is certainly an issue that shouldn’t be ignored, but it also shouldn’t be the main focus, especially when compared to issues such as edu-cation. It’s interesting that Republicans are so concerned about the deficit, yet they insist on adding over $36 billion dollars to it by extending the tax cuts for the wealthy. The truth is that the investment the president called for in his address is not just some ploy from a tax-and-spend liberal, but a necessary step if the United States is to make the 21st century as great as the 20th.

RASUSHI.COM

The ASUA Senate joined with GPSC and Faculty Senate to continue the merger of the University Activities Board with its own programming board during their meeting on Wednesday.

Campus-wide elections to ramp up student voting

The election dates for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona were moved from earlier in the year to join with the Graduate and Professional Student Council and the Faculty Senate to in-crease student voting and make marketing easier.

“That would create this kind of elections atmosphere for that week,” said Michael Colletti , ASUA elections commissioner.

The ASUA Senate brought about a friendly amendment to change the elections date from the original “February 30” in Colletti’s memo, to February 28.

“Just to give you guys a little background on this, this start-ed as a conversation two years ago … Under President Fritze, it’s starting to become a reali-ty,” Colletti said.

The senate is also extending the length of its elections from two days to three to join with the weeklong elections that the other two groups will hold.

ASUA President Emily Fritze also said those chosen in March’s elections should mar-ket early for those to serve in their cabinets.

Fritze added: “If (ASUA) wants a more diverse group, since we have all those avail-able, we need to have more time to market those positions.”

Programming board to take shape of ZonaZoo

The new events committee is a combination of the University Activities Board and the pro-gramming board, Fritze said. She also said the merger took care to “preserve some of the traditions of the board,” while

also helping the board “transi-tion into ASUA and some of the way that we do things.”

The name and structure could still change, but Fritze said it would take a struc-tural shape of the highly suc-cessful ZonaZoo, which will have an executive director and several other directors under them to handle specific events. The University Activities Board is pushing for hiring for the group to begin in the next couple of weeks in order to be able to start planning events for next year.

The hiring process will mir-ror Family Weekend hiring, ac-cording to Fritze.

“Because they are such a comprehensive programming board and they do so many small events, I didn’t think that that should be the reason why this didn’t happen honestly,” Fritze said.

‘Diamonds in the Sky,’ new gun forum, ‘ASUA Reserves’

The ASUA Senate decided to hold this year ’s Diamonds in the Sky Fashion Show for the Diamond Children’s Medical Center, “with (Sen.) Taylor (Bilby)’s big project going on,” referring to Bilby’s Tanzbödeli project, an April 1 arts and cul-ture festival, according to Sen. Courtney Campbell .

Sen. Scott Rising also said that ASUA would try and hold another gun forum to address pending gun legislation. Fritze encouraged the senate to take a stance on it.

“We (should) hold another forum to get student input on the issue (and) … to make sure we are staying relevant in the conversation among the state,” Rising said.

Sen. Dominick San Angelo also mentioned the creation of an “ASUA reserves” to act as a body of volunteers of those who want to be involved, but not in an elected position.

Renovations slated to becompleted this spring

the pool last semester and will continue to do so.

Some students were unper-turbed by the idea of swim-ming in water years old.

“It doesn’t bother me,” said Ryan Kingzett , an engineering freshman.

Kingzett did admit that it did seem to be a long time be-tween pool drains.

Ashley Beasley , an anthropol-ogy freshman, trusted the clean-ing chemicals in the pool, if only for peace of mind it gave her.

“There is a filter system and

the water is constantly fresh,” John said.

The renovation at the Rec Center pool is scheduled to be completed sometime during the spring semester, and the pool will open shortly thereafter.

Thousands flood the streets to oppose authoritarian regime

EGYPTcontinued from page 1

Wednesday, when police using water cannons and tear gas dis-persed a crowd of several thou-sand hunkered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

“The harshness and brutality of the police has scared a lot of peo-ple,” Fathi Abdul Latif, a mem-ber of the opposition National Front for Change, said as po-lice swung bamboo canes and hauled off � ve protesters near the Journalists’ Union. “Activists and organizers are regrouping. A revolution needs time. What happened on Tuesday has given us con� dence.”

As he spoke, though, a crowd of about 70 demonstrators, far outnumbered by police and passers-by, who � ashed pictures with cell phone cameras, chant-ed: “One, two, where are the Egyptian people?”

That question perturbed many activists. They wondered how, a day after more than 10,000 peo-ple turned out in one the capi-tal’s largest demonstrations in decades, Cairo could return to the workday rhythms of lunch breaks and traf� c. Those scenes, however, were occasionally in-terrupted by updates on social networking sites announcing spasms of revolt, including po-lice � ring tear gas to break up protesters assembling in several neighborhoods.

“We have to get everybody out

into the streets,” said Ali Ebeid, a medical worker who threw his � st into the air in front of a line of riot police. “If we don’t, we could lose the moment.”

That moment was inspired by the Tunisia uprising that toppled the autocratic regime of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Like their North Africa counterparts, many Egyptians are angry over three decades of a government that offers little hope to the young, who blame the ruling party for corruption, unemployment and stagnation. It is the effects of these failings in ordinary lives, not ideology or the urgings of political op-position groups, that Egyptians say are driving their resentment against a president many regard as a dictator.

The 82-year-old Mubarak, who may seek re-election this year, has watched his popular-ity steadily tumble as Egyptians, who rarely ridiculed him in the past, openly yell epithets against him. It is a turn of fate many � nd hard to comprehend, despite years of mass arrests, especially against the Muslim Brotherhood, and the silencing of many politi-cal opponents.

“I’ve been a political analyst for 30 years and I didn’t expect this,” said Diaa Rashwan. “This has opened a new political his-tory in Egypt. It’s the � rst time

people are deciding for them-selves to protest and demand. Everybody had expected the lower classes to one day revolt, but these protesters are the edu-cated, the middle class and even women.”

As dusk fell, Tahrir Square � lled with policemen who were clearing sidewalks, hurrying pe-destrians along and waiting at the mouths of streets for hints of unrest.

“In a country like Egypt as in most authoritarian regimes, the power of security forces eventu-ally collapses,” said Nabil Abdel Fattah, an analyst with Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies. “They’re not used to dealing with these kinds of pro-tests, and if they go on for days, they will break the hold of police. It’s a major turning point.”

On Wednesday, a protest is ex-actly what Mohamed Adawi, an accountant, was looking for as he combed Cairo streets looking for a crowd and listening for the sounds of marching feet.

“I’m really frustrated that to-day I didn’t have a chance to join a protest,” he said. “We made a great achievement on Tuesday, but we will lose that if we can’t sustain the same protests over the next few days. We might even go back to the days when carrying out a demonstration was impossible.”

Voices have ‘shitty’ ideaA UA custodial employee reported a non-UA affili-

ated man making loud grunting noises in the bath-room at the Main UA Library at 7:32 a.m. on Monday.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was dispatched to investigate.

When UAPD arrived, the employee told the officer that the man was still moving about in the bathroom while continuing to yell.

Another male employee went in to the bathroom and observed defecation dripping on the floor and running down the wall of a bathroom stall.

The male employee was followed out of the bath-room by the man.

The unknown man was sitting in the main stairwell when the officer made contact with him.

The officer observed that the man had extreme-ly soiled clothing and concluded the man might be homeless.

The man identified himself with an Arizona identi-fication card and told the officer he was living on the streets of Tucson and not at a mental treatment facility.

The officer inspected the bathroom and noticed that the defecation almost looked like words.

The man told the officer that voices told him to “wipe shit” on the wall.

The officer performed a records check on the man and found that the man had been reported missing from a mental treatment facility.

The man was arrested at 7:39 a.m. and booked into Pima County Jail.

Also, due to his frequent contacts on campus, the man was issued a UA Exclusionary Order.

Sweater swiping student snatches sloppilyA male UA student attempting to steal a sweatshirt

from the UofA Bookstore was cited at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.

A UAPD officer responded to a call from the book-store’s loss prevention and made contact with the stu-dent.

The officer asked the student what he did in the bookstore.

The student said he did not intend on shoplifting when he entered the bookstore to meet friends.

He attempted to return a sweatshirt, purchased sev-eral days earlier, because it was damaged.

However, the bookstore refused to refund the stu-dent for the damaged goods.

The student then decided to “get back at the book-store.”

He picked out a grey, hoodless sweatshirt, removed the tag and put it on.

The student then attempted to exit without paying for the sweater.

Bookstore security was quick in stopping the stu-dent after watching him put on the sweatshirt and re-move the tag via security cameras.

The student was cited and released for shoplifting and was referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Oil baron harasses studentA wealthy executive of a Saudi Arabian oil company

harassed a female UA student through text messages during the week of Jan. 16.

The student reported the harassment to a UAPD of-ficer on Monday.

The student said she received eight messages from the executive — her former boyfriend — demanding that she return things he purchased while the two were dating.

The man requested that a notebook computer, TV and bike be returned to him.

One of the text messages he sent the student said that she could keep the items if she “wired” him $10,000.

“You have no idea the kind of enemy you have made,” said one of his text messages.

She said she began dating the man in late 2009 and broke it off in summer of 2010 because the man tried to buy her affection.

The student also reported that the man texted her current boyfriend. She was very concerned because the man was very wealthy and may even reach out to her only to do harm.

The officer attempted to contact the man and left a message advising the man to stop texting the stu-dent.

The officer also advised the man to use the court system to acquire the items he wished to be returned from the student.

Tired of living in your landlord’s

truck?

Today’s birthday: Give up the idea of “starving artist.” Don’t mea-sure your success by the balance of your checking account, but by the joy in your heart, your contribution to others and your peace of mind.

Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 7 — Be

con� dent in following your instincts. They’re pointing you in the right

direction, and you know it. This sup-ports a previous plan.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 6 — You

have big ideas and lim-ited time. Don’t distract others with your enthu-

siasm. Share what’s so exciting over dinner, when they can listen.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 7 — You

wish you could ease into changes, but they may be abrupt. At least check how

deep the water is before diving in. Everything works out perfectly.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) — Today is an 8 — The

changes you have in mind provide fortunate circum-stances for family and so-

cial contacts. Do the groundwork yourself, and ask for assistance later.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — If you rush

too fast to complete something,

you may hurt yourself. Communicate the need for extra time. Take a deep breath, focus on the task at

hand and take it slow.Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)

— Today is a 6 — Reorganize your space to accommodate individu-al needs. Let each person

choose decorating colors or new arrangements. A little paint goes a long way.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) — Today is a 6 — You

want to make signi� cant changes, and a partner of-fers creative suggestions.

The � rst step may seem painful, but

stress relaxes as you move.Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

some stress but see future opportu-nities everywhere. Dive in!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — An

emotional release leaves you feeling cleansed by the tide. Put a great new idea

into practice as soon as you can. The results are virtually immediate.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — Team

members need to draw creative threads together

to � nalize a project. If someone else takes charge, that works better for you. Relieve stress with treats.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — A

personal habit could get in the way of creative communication. You

don’t need to come up with all the ideas yourself. Group members contribute.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) — Today is a 7 — Later

in the day you feel ful-� lled. Change was man-aged with little stress, and

new opportunities open as a result. Stay in the � ow.

What went down dur-ing your bachelor party?

I didn’t have one. It was in a different country, Oxford, England, I didn’t have very many people there yet. A few of us went back for a few drinks but no real bachelor party.

Tell me about your motorcycle.

It’s a sports crusier. I ride it to and from work, occasionally on weekends. Occasionally I take my wife with me, but my dog can’t come with me.

Do you feel as if you are invincible on the cruiser?

No, quite the contrary. I feel as if I could be run over very easily, there’s a lot of morons out there.

Are you more of a clas-sic rock guy or old school hip hop?

This may be disappoint-ing, probably neither of the two. I like African music and Indian music, crazy stuff.

Have you ever tried African dance? You and your wife should take a class.

I have never tried but I have been tempted to.

Hypothetically, how would you want to die?

On top of a mountain, af-ter having climbed up there. It doesn’t have to be that high but something nice with a good view and a bit of effort of getting there, that’d be pretty good.

On a brighter note what is the next fanatic thing you plan on doing in the next 24 hours?

I have nothing crazy planned and I think that is the point of being crazy, you don’t plan it.

An Argentine woman has report-edly survived a fall from the 23rd story of a hotel in Buenos Aires by landing atop a taxicab.

The woman plummeted an es-timated 330 feet after hurling her-self from the Hotel Crown Plaza Panamericano before she struck a cab on the street below, crushing the car’s roof and shattering its wind-shield, according to AOL.co.uk.

The woman — whose age has been reported as either 30 or 33 — suffered severe injuries, including

internal bleeding and broken hips and ribs. Doctors have removed one of her lungs, one of her kidneys and her spleen, according to Sky.com.

Moments before the woman landed on the taxi, the cab driv-er, who gave his name as Miguel, stepped out of the car. He says he only got out of the driver’s seat when he saw a policeman looking upward at the hotel.

“If I hadn’t got out, I’d be dead,” he told the press.

“I felt this explosion and I saw this

woman’s body sunken into the roof of my cab.”

Some witnesses say the woman ordered coffee at a restaurant locat-ed near the top of the hotel, removed her shoes, climbed over a safety bar-ricade and leaped.

In September, a New York City resident suffered a broken leg, col-lapsed lung and shattered ankle when he landed on a sports car after a 40-story leap from the roof of the West End Towers.

The 2010 Gymcat season was filled with ice treatment, mas-sages and visits to the training room for Rebecca Cardenas . Cardenas, a junior, was forced to miss the entire year after suf-fering a knee injury before the season began.

The coaching staff is expect-ing a lot from her this year and hopes she’ll soon return to old form.

During her freshman year, Cardenas competed on the floor and bar events in 13 meets, including the regional championship.

Cardenas’ best score through-out her freshman campaign was an impressive 9.925 on floor.

She’s showed improvement every week this year for the Gymcats, according to her coach-es. Last week, against in-state ri-val ASU, she posted a score of

9.725 during the � oor event.Cardenas spoke with the

Daily Wildcat about her recov-ery and preparation for this season.

Daily Wildcat: What is it like competing again?

Cardenas: It feels really great. It just wasn’t a very good feel-ing sitting out for so long just watching my teammates per-form last year. It’s a great feel-ing being back out there and getting to compete.

What was going through your head when you got back out there for the first time?

I was pretty nervous, it’s been awhile. I just had to get my nerves to calm down but other than that it was a great feeling.

How comfortable do you feel out there with your knee?

It actually feels great. I haven’t been having any prob-lems with it. I was doing rehab and working on it for so long

that I technically don’t have any problems with it anymore.

You have done floor this year. Do you have any plans on doing any other events this year?

Well my bars need to get more consistent. I need to remember how to compete my bars like I do in practice. Hopefully my vault will keep progressing, so we will see how that goes.

How was it last year just sit-ting in the corner rehabbing not being able to help the team?

It was really depressing at some points. It wasn’t a good feeling not doing anything to help the team, except cheering and stuff like that. On the other hand it motivated me, just see-ing my teammates working so hard and pulling through their injuries so they could pick up for the people who couldn’t do anything. So it worked both ways.

to display prowess like no oth-er. Her double-double averages and conference-rebound num-bers prove how vital she is to the team.

“I think she’s certainly one of the most talented players in the country,” Butts said of Ibekwe.

Despite not garnering as much national attention as she deserves, she plays every night like a top contender.

“What she has to do every night is go out there and prove people wrong by being active and playing aggressive,” Butts said. “The more aggressive she is the better player she is. It’s

amazing.” Against USC, the Wildcats

need to keep the pressure on the Trojans for the entire 40-minute contest if they’re hoping for a positive outcome.

The Trojans wield some solid talents of their own, especial-ly in guard Briana Gilbreath , whose 15 points and 7 rebounds per game will test Arizona’s abilities on both sides of the ball.

If Arizona can redeem their road woes this weekend, they’ll definitely deserve to be in the discussion for the NCAA tour-nament.

W-HOOPSArizona will have hands full with USC’s Gilbreathcontinued from page 12

Tim Glass/Arizona Daily WildcatHead coach Niya Butts and her Wildcats have established a presence in McKale Center af-ter winning their last nine home games, but recent road struggles have Arizona scrambling to fi nd its identity. The Wildcats travel to USC tonight and UCLA on Saturday.

At a glance

Key Players

Solomon Hill, Arizona The sophomore had his quietest game of the year, scoring

just � ve points against Washington State last Saturday . Against UCLA small forward Tyler Honeycutt , Hill needs to be the ag-gressor and make the future NBA prospect work on the defen-sive end.

Oh, and Hill will need to keep tabs on Honeycutt by staying in front of him, and not letting the fellow sophomore slash to the hoop and draw fouls on UA’s Derrick Williams .

Reeves Nelson, UCLA Neither the most athletic nor the tallest player on the � oor,

Nelson’s never-ending motor helps him leads the Bruins at 13.9 points and eight rebounds per game. Hitting the offensive boards, Nelson can help UCLA steal a huge road victory.

His physicality can also aide in muzzling UA’s Williams.

Arizona wins if … Williams receives some help.

He’ll have his hands full with either 305 pound center Joshua Smith or dirt-working forward Nelson on both ends of the � oor, and as seen at Washington, Williams can’t do it all by himself. Another Wildcat needs to score the ball.

UCLA wins if … The Wildcats can’t match the Bruins’ energy.

Three of UCLA’s best frontline players in Smith, Honeycutt and Nelson average at least seven rebounds per game and guard Malcolm Lee is the defensive force that helps silence opposing guard play.

Fast facts • The game against the Bruins will be televised on ESPN2 ,

and commentators Rece Davis and Jay Bilas will have the call.

• Not the same rivalry as it used to be, the last six meetings be-tween the two teams has seen the perfect competitiveness. UCLA and UA average the same number of points per game (72.3) with a split record of 3-3.

• At home, Arizona is shooting 40 percent from 3-point range while holding visiting teams to 27 percent.

• The Wildcats are 11-0 at home.

— Kevin Zimmerman

in the Pac-10.“It’s de� nitely going to be a

great atmosphere whether or not the students show-up,” said senior forward Jamelle Horne. “The game is going to be at a high level.”

Players also know they must do their part as well.

“If we play and win big games more and more, people are going to come watch us play,” Jones added. “Everybody is going to come watch us play, and everybody is going to get hyped to watch us play.”

In the end, one thing truly matters.

“Our focus is playing well against UCLA and having an opportunity to win a confer-ence home game,” Miller said.

New uniformsThe Wildcats will unveil their

new uniforms on Thursday when they play against UCLA on national television.

Miller said that the team will wear the new uniforms from here on out. There are red, white and blue uniforms.

“I’ll tell you this: I don’t think there is a nicer uniform in college basketball than ours,” Miller said.

Playing on ESPN2When Miller was asked if his

players cared about the game being on ESPN, he suggested the more players care about it, the weaker they are as a player.

“The more they care, the worse player they are,” he said. “If they really care, they stink. They just can’t play. If you can play, you’re going to play hard and play well, and you’re going to assume people are watching every game, which is generally the case.

“But if they have heightened awareness, wear different color shoes or their hair is colored differently, then you have a problem,” he added.

UCLA vs. UA

All season long, Sean Miller has preached to his team that good teams protect their home court, and Arizona (16-4,5-2 Pacific 10 Conference) has done that thus far this sea-son, posting an 11-0 record at McKale Center.

On the heels of the Wildcats’ second place showdown with UCLA tonight, Miller met with slightly more than 100 ZonaZoo members at McKale Center on Wednesday night to make sure they also know the importance of protecting their home court.

Miller addressed the students, telling them the huge role they will play in tonight’s game. He even took questions from the crowd. Miller let the fans in on a secret, picking � ve fans out of the crowd to demonstrate what will be the � rst play of the game against the Bruins.

“You’re the heartbeat of the arena,” Miller told the stu-dents. “The more energized the ZonaZoo is, the more the rest of the arena follows.”

Miller, knowing how impor-tant the Wildcats’ home games are, wanted to make sure that he has the student section on board.

“I respect and really appreciate how hard they work for us. The months of January and February on a college campus in college basketball take on a whole new meaning,” Miller said of why he decided to address the student section.

“I just want to thank them (ZonaZoo) and at the same time make sure we’re on the same page for a great weekend.”

Despite Arizona being un-defeated at home the this sea-son, the crowds haven’t exactly

showed up every game, at some points setting record low atten-dance marks earlier in the sea-son. But the � rst game of the spring semester, a win against ASU, was a sell-out.

Miller, impressed by the en-thusiasm of the student sections at the schools in Washington last weekend, hopes that the ZonaZoo can create the same type of environment for the rest of Arizona’s home games this season.

“I’m going to be the first to tell you that the students’ sec-tions at Washington State and Washington were amazing,”

he said. “At Washington, you can’t even think. They’re right behind you. They impact the game in a different way. I think the ZonaZoo does that for us. We just want to remind them that their impact is really felt.”

Miller told the crowd in at-tendance the impact of pro-moting the Arizona basketball program on a nationally tele-vised game would help the coaches recruit.

Miller wants to reestablish the home court dominance the Arizona basketball program once had, and he’s drilled that into his players’ heads all

season.“If we can protect our home

court and continue to win and not allow anybody to come in here and sneak out a win,” said point guard Momo Jones , “it’s going to be dif� cult later down the road for teams to come in here and beat us.”

Whether fans show up or not will be seen at tip-off, but the importance of the game will not change with UCLA (13-6, 5-2 Pac-10) coming into McKale and the winner taking full possession of second place

Generally, before an important dual meet, specifically one against the de-fending national champions, the swim-mers might expect a reprieve from dif-ficult drills. For Arizona swim, that would be wishful thinking.

Walking into Hillenbrand Aquatic Center on Tuesday, one would see head coach Frank Busch shouting at his swimmers to kick harder, go faster and keep going. After a grueling pool session, he would then order a group of those same swimmers to run stadium steps — no break in sight.

According to Busch, the swimmer’s break will come today, when both squads travel to Austin, Texas to take on the Longhorns.

The highlight of the weekend will be when the No. 2 Arizona men’s team dukes it out with the NCAA reigning champions, and currently No. 1, Texas, tomorrow at Jamail Texas Swim Center .

“Usually, when you go away, you swim a little bit better. For us, we do regular training all the way through Thursday,” Busch said. “When we go to Texas, we won’t train Thursday, so that’ll give us an extra day of rest.”

Busch’s swim theory certainly held true last weekend, when both Stanford and Cal swept Arizona in their home pool. In addition to being away, perhaps the times will be affected by the pool itself.

“It’ll be fun going to Texas, it’ll be fun being on the road with the whole team, knowing they’re in a position to swim in a great tank,” Busch said. “It’s where the women’s NCAA championships are, so the kids know that pool very well. It will also be nice for our kids to swim in-doors. Anytime you’re in the elements it’s different.”

With an ideal location set, it then comes down to the swimmers them-selves and their physical and mental states. They’ll have their day of rest, but coming off of two big losses can be dis-couraging.

Women’s junior captain Alyssa Anderson realizes the circumstances of last weekend and this week, and how it can be physically and emotionally draining. The women will be taking on No. 3 Texas.

“Having tough weeks and being in season, it’s kind of easy to roll over and die,” Anderson said. “These are really hard teams, really tough competitions — Cal, Stanford, and then Texas. So it’s

a pretty brutal two weeks.”After acknowledging the current lev-

el of difficulty, Anderson explained the importance of not only focusing on in-dividual races, but also not losing sight of the team.

“I think one of the things we were talking about last weekend was digging deep,” Anderson said. “So, going out there and fighting hard is something we’re going to really work on this week. Our big thing is unity and if we are all together and on the same board, I think we’re pretty hard to beat.”

On the men’s side, fellow junior Kevin Munsch also talked about picking up the pace.

“I hope everyone can step up their game a little bit more, go a little bit fast-er, and take it to the next level — give Texas and SMU some real good compe-tition,” Munsch said. “Carry on from what we did last weekend, but do a lit-tle bit better.”

Munsch mentioned Southern Methodist University , who they’ll also be swimming against this weekend to fulfill their dual season quota. The pri-mary focus, though, is on the reigning champs, whose lofty title evokes even more enthusiasm. Arizona swept Texas last year in dual season, having the same rankings on the men’s side.

“Definitely motivating. I just want to take them down. We took them down last year, but they won. So at this point in the season everyone’s tired. It’s a crapshoot, and we just go for it.”

Texas is led by head coach Eddie Reese . USA Swimming recently an-nounced Reese and Busch as head coach-es for the 2011 World Championships in Shanghai, China .

“We’ve known each other for a long time. He’s probably been my mentor in coaching,” Busch said. “I’ve never been an assistant coach in my life, and that’s not a good thing, that’s not a bragging statement. You would wish you could learn from people, so as a young college coach, I remember going to meets and watching Eddie, and not even talking to him, just watching him. I’ve learned a lot from him.

“And since then, we’ve become won-derful friends. He’s a super human be-ing and he’s done a lot for the sport.”

As Busch’s comments shifted from his respect for Reese to the upcoming weekend, a huge grin began to form on his face. Smiling, he said, “there will be some great racing this weekend, we have great meets with Texas. It will be fun.”

Swim heads to Texas

Coming off three straight road losses, the Arizona women’s bas-ketball team knew they needed to defend their home to maintain credibility.

And it did. The Wildcats sent the

Washington schools back home this weekend with bitter mem-ories of Tucson and McKale Center. Now, with momen-tum on their side , the Wildcats head to Southern California for weekend match ups against the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins .

With their recent home suc-cess, the Wildcats (13-5, 4-3 Pacific 10 Conference ) have climbed to third in the confer-ence standings and will take on the Trojans tonight.

After the winning weekend, head coach Niya Butts was quick to keep things in per-spective.

“I certainly think we’re head-ed in the right direction, but to say we’re totally back on track, I don’t know,” she said. “I think our time at home has certainly helped us, those three games on the road were tough for us, but I think taking care of home court was very impor-tant. Heading to LA, that’s go-ing to be a tough two games, and we’re going to have to be ready to play.”
