Students in the UA Race Track Industry Program and the College of Engineering have created a prototype product intended to allow horse racing to be viewed from a camera embedded in the helmet of a jockey.

Kenleigh Hobby and David Matt , seniors in the College of Agriculture’s Race Track Industry Program, began looking for ways to improve the industry as part of a senior project and saw a need for improved technology in streaming video of the races.

Hobby said he believed horse racing has fallen behind other professional sports that o� er viewers multiple camera angles to watch the action, such as football and NASCAR.

“A lot of other major-league sports have invested a lot of time in the fan experience because of the online atmosphere,” Hobby said. “Horse racing’s still stuck in the binocular era.”

Much of this is due to the challenges of putting a camera on a jockey. � e primary concern is the jockey’s safety: Horse racing can be a dangerous sport, and numerous laws and regulations are in place to protect them while racing. � ese laws can make it di� cult

to make modi� cations to existing procedures and equipment.

Another major issue is the lack of space for a camera and the necessary equipment to transmit a live video signal back to a receiver on

the track. Unlike car racing, where equipment can be contained in the trunk of a car, horse racing requires that the excess weight a horse carries be as minimal as possible, and jockeys must maintain a lower weight.

Meteorite hunters donate rare rock specimen to university for research

Meteorite hunter Robert Ward has donated a piece of one of the rarest me-teorites ever found to the UA Lunar and Planetary Laboratory to possibly help answer questions regarding the earliest forms of life.

The meteorite fell on April 22, and was found two days later on a sawmill called Sutter’s Mill, in southern California by Ward. The UA holds 15 of the 410 grams found. The nature of the samples vary from being found before and after rains occurred, giving researchers a variety of contamination levels.

“We can get a good understanding of what exposure, even brief exposure on the surfaces of the Earth, will do to contami-nate the meteorites,” said Dante Lauretta, the principal investigator of the OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission, and a pro-fessor in the Lunar and Planetary Labora-tory. “We’re using this meteorite to test-run what we’re going to do with our sample when it’s back on Earth in 2023.”

The spacecraft will land at the Utah Test-ing and Training Range.

The samples of the meteorite were classified as a carbonaceous chondrite, similar to what scientists expect to find on the OSIRIS-REx mission’s target asteroid 1999 RQ36, according to Ed Beshore, the mission’s deputy principal investigator and another professor in the Lunar and Plan-etary Laboratory. Carbonaceous chondrites represent less than 5 percent of all fallen meteorites. These certain types of samples contain “condrills,” small round objects

made up of materials that researchers be-lieve are directly traceable to the beginning of the solar system.

“Is there a chemical pathway that we can take from the solar nebula, which we call a disk, to the origin of life?” Lauretta asked. “That is the holy grail of this kind of science.”

A selection of the meteorite will be cut into smaller pieces for careful analysis. The laboratory is collaborating with cosmo-chemists outside of the university who have access to machines that the UA does not, Beshore added. The laboratory is also considering proposals for unique insight on the meteorite.

These meteorites, even in small quantities, are worth thousands of dollars.

“One we purchased, called FM1, was worth $15,000, and was 3.35 grams,” said Kayla Niu, an assistant in the primary in-vestigator’s office for OSIRIS-REx.

The mission itself is expected to cost $800 million. Niu explained that the mission will bring $130 million in revenue across the state.

The OSIRIS-REx mission will launch in 2016 and will be the second attempt at gath-ering testable samples from an asteroid.

While streets along Main Gate are almost completely closed for streetcar work, busi-nesses along University Boulevard are feeling the impact financially, with business in some stores declining to nearly half of last year’s levels.

Waterline relocation work between Palm Drive and Highland Avenue should be finished by June 8, while the construction on Cherry Avenue between Helen Street and Speedway Boulevard is scheduled for completion on June 12. While both lanes are closed during this time, the intersection at Cherry and Helen will be maintained to help the flow of traffic.

The UA and Regional Transportation Authority are working to finish the project as soon as possible, said David Heineking, Park-ing and Transportation Services director.

“We certainly want to make the streetcar as accessible as possible to the UA community,” he said.

After the construction of the rails is fin-ished, a six-month process of testing the cars will commence, Heineking added. The street-car should be running after the start of the fall

semester, but will not be open for public use until testing is finished, which is projected for the end of 2013.

“Because of regulations and safety reasons, the streetcar needs to be tested for the six month time period,” said Bill Davidson, the

PTS marketing specialist. In the meantime, some stores along these

constructions sites have struggled due to excess noise and dust from construction equipment.

“Business is a disaster,” said Danny Mannheim, owner of Espresso Art Cafe. “It’s about half of what it was last summer.”

Gentle Ben’s general manager Richard Fifer has attributed the slow patronage to the lack of street parking available. While the construction has blocked the 70 parking spaces along University Boulevard, the Tyn-dall Avenue Parking Garage and Main Gate Parking Garage are both open for public use.

While construction has been a nuisance for business owners, Heineking remains optimis-tic for the final results.

“It’s going to be a great thing, not only for the university, but also businesses along the line, the economic development that’s going to occur along the line. I really see this revital-izing downtown.”

Streetcar construction slows business for University Boulevard proprietors

Being human is a diseaseUniversity of Arizona Police Depart-

ment headquarters received a call from a UA employee regarding a suspicious letter found in her employee mailbox written by a male student on May 21 at 7 p.m.

Officers called the employee in regards to the suspicious letter. The employee told the officers that the letter made major verbal harassment threats and that she wished to notify the police. Officers gave excerpts in the report of some of the letter’s details. The student had written “her actions and sadness made me weep.” The letter continued to say, “Call me and together we can solve this disease of be-ing human beings.” Officers noted in the report that the employee was alarmed and wished to have the police notify the stu-dent to cease contacting her. The officers then contacted the student and notified him that he needed to end further contact with her. According to the student, he said that they were acquaintances. He told the officers that they met for the day before the incident. Officers informed him again to avoid contacting her or he would be arrested for harassment. The student told officers he understood.

Don’t cut cornersUAPD officers pulled over a white Jeep

on May 22 at 4:30 a.m. on Speedway Bou-levard and Campbell Avenue for cutting through the intersection’s Taco Bell. The first officer approached the Tucson citizen who wasn’t affiliated with the UA and in-formed the driver that it was illegal to cut a corner through a business. The officer then asked for his driver’s license, proof of insur-ance and registration. The suspect replied, “I don’t have my wallet on me, sir, this is my friend’s car.” The officer asked him for his name and scanned it through the radio. UAPD responded and informed the officer that his license had been suspended. The suspect replied to the officer that he was unaware why his license was suspended. The first officer began filling out paperwork for his ticket and asked the individual to step out of the car. The second officer began searching the vehicle and found a 2-inch wooden box of marijuana in the second console of the vehicle. The individual stated that the marijuana was not his when he was asked whose it was. He also told the officer that he does not smoke marijuana. The suspect was placed under arrest for pos-session of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a suspended license and use of private property to avoid a traffic control device. The individual was cited and his vehicle was impounded. The marijuana and paraphernalia were placed in UAPD Property and Evidence.

Dr. Peter Rhee has been named to the Martin Gluck Endowed Chair after a group of charities promised to donate $1.7 million in support of the chair.

The gift, made by a group of Tucson orga-nizations operating as Tucson Foundations, brought the total funding of this endowment to $2 million, with $300,000 from a separate fundraising event.

The endowment will operate like a savings account, with a large amount of money left in place to generate interest. The interest will then go toward funding Rhee’s position.

Rhee is Chief of Trauma, Critical Care and Emergency Surgery in the University of Ari-zona College of Medicine’s Department of Surgery. He garnered international fame in the aftermath of the Jan. 8, 2011 shootings, which killed six people and wounded 13, including former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Rhee generates his own salary and pay for expenses by treating patients. Rhee’s division has approximately $4.7 million in operating expenses each year. Endowments and other gifts allow Rhee to spend more time doing research, which leads to possible new tech-nologies and better patient care.

According to Rhee, this sort of research has led the University of Arizona Medical Center to become one of the top trauma centers for brain injuries.

Recent figures show a rapid increase in the percentage of patients who have been brought to UAMC with brain trauma and survive, such as Giffords.

According to his data from late 2007, when Rhee came to the UA, the survival rate of these patients was approximately 10 percent. Today, it is 40 percent, while most hospitals in the country have rates between 5 percent and 12 percent.

“We are better at treating people who are shot in the brain than anyone else in the country,” Rhee said.

Today, Rhee and his team continue to work on a variety of research, some of which involves utilizing existing, “off-the-shelf” technology, such as iPads and iPhones, to improve patient care.

Rhee wants to utilize this technology to improve communication between medical staff caring for a patient. Some uses include hiring programmers to write special soft-ware, allowing doctors to notate information about a patient’s condition on a multi-dimensional model. Other uses involve telemedicine, which allows specialists like Rhee to provide assistance and advice to other medical professionals remotely.

In the future, the endowned chair will serve as a recruiting tool for successive division chiefs. According to the College of Medicine, it is the second endowed chair in the Department of Surgery, and is among 41 within the college.

Peter Rhee, chief of trauma at University of arizona Medical center has been named to the Martin Gluck Endowed chair after receiving a $2 million endowment.

The design does not compromise any of the safety features of the helmet. The only visible difference between the prototype and a typical helmet is the actual camera, which is embedded into the helmet, and a power switch/connector on the back.

The engineering team used a prototype to compete in the College of Engineering’s Design Day, and won second place in the Analog Design competition. It has been showcased and tested in Virginia, Kentucky, Florida and Maryland.

The team’s progress provided a basis for developing another model with customized parts, but added another challenge — creating

a model that complies with the industry laws and regulations and finding racetracks that would allow the testing.

The team created EquiSight, LLC, to further research, design and market its products, and has worked with the Arizona Center for Innovation, a kind of “business incubator” provided by the UA that supports technology startups. Hobby and Matt have both taken out additional student loans to provide capital financing for the project.

So far, racetracks and entrepreneurs have expressed an interest in the camera, specifically Medusa, LLC, a Tucson-based defense contractor that EquiSight is working with to continue developing the product. Maintaining the integrity of the original design, but making it smaller, lighter and more robust,

has been a focus of the collaboration, Nelson said. Hobby added that Medusa also plans to use the technology for defense purposes in coordination with law enforcement and the military.

EquiSight aims to have a functioning model ready by January 2013. While the initial focus will be horse racing, Hobby said he is looking to eventually expand the company into providing services to other sports that use helmets, such as football.

“Any helmet-based sport has the possibility of putting that viewer in the saddle or in the batting cage or in the huddle … everybody wants to see what the quarterback sees or what that batter sees, and we can kind of put you in that virtual experience.”

Biosphere 2, where he works as the director of external affairs. A collection of 28 casitas are situ-ated on the Biosphere 2 campus, and house visiting scientists from all over the world for various types of conferences, Hijazi said.

“In order for us to generate funds and in order to expose the Biosphere 2 facility to the world and make it as a research tank, we have to make it easier for people to visit and have a more relaxed environment at the facility,” Hijazi said.

As far as funding goes, Hauff said that while he did not know the exact amount the university had spent going through the year-long licensing process, he said most of the costs went to applica-tion and legal fees.

“We realize that, over time, all that money will be worth it because we’ll be able to manage this ourselves, save on all this

other work that we were doing to file special event permits and work with all these people and be in a position where we could just do what we need to get done,” Hauff said, adding that alcohol would also never be paid for with university funds.

While the idea of the UA having its own liquor license is a new one, fundraising events on cam-

pus aren’t and Hauff said the cur-rent economy has created a more competitive environment when it comes to raising money.

“There are a lot of people, a lot of organizations, a lot of non-profits that are competing for fundraising dollars in a very tight economy,” he said. “When you hold a plated dinner and charge $200 a plate for someone to come in and listen to a keynote speaker … alcohol is sort of an expecta-tion.”

Hauff added that the university is trying to do the same job of fun-draising and sponsorship recruit-ing that other profits are doing.

President Obama recently proposed a 4.9 percent decrease in the U.S. Defense budget for 2013 and critics

didn’t hesitate to denounce the proposal as a major threat to our national security. However, given our dismal economy, the bene� ts of defense budget cuts far outweigh the disadvantages.

Prudent decreases in the defense budget will hardly endanger our security. In 2011, U.S. defense spending accounted for 41 percent of the entire world’s defense expenditures . China, by comparison, made up a mere 8.2 percent, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute . Even if we chose to slash the

defense budget to a quarter of its current size, we would still have the most well-funded military in the world .

Reducing the bloated budget would provide us with billions of dollars to spend toward deprived domestic programs, such as education. In 2011, the federal government spent 20 percent of its revenues on defense programs, but only 2 percent on education, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities . � e low education funding only helped test scores fall further behind, student loan debt soar and college tuition prices rise.

It is true that the defense industry creates jobs, but evidence shows that allocating funds toward other sectors like education can create far more. According to a 2011 study conducted by the University of Massachusetts’ Political Economy Research Institute, spending $1 billion on educational services would create an average of 26,700 jobs, whereas the same amount spent on defense creates only 11,200 jobs .

If Obama wins the 2012 election, his suggested 4.9 percent decrease in defense spending may not be enough. Over time, his current proposal would cause the defense budget to slowly increase to previous levels. If Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney wins the election, on the other hand, the defense budget would increase nearly $100 billion in 2013 and add $2.1 trillion in additional spending over the next decade , according to an analysis done for CNN Money by the Center for a New American Security . Romney proposes to link the Pentagon’s defense budget to the country’s Gross Domestic Product, which means if the economy falls, defense spending does too.

Hopefully voters will take the candidates’ proposed defense budgets into consideration when choosing the next American president. Either way, Congress needs to devise a sensible plan that reduces budget spending, provides extra funds and allocates them to vital services that are currently lacking in � nancial support.

The fancy website dedicated to the City of Tucson’s Sun Link Modern Streetcar brags about all the bene� ts

it intends to bestow upon us: a 100 percent electric transportation system encompassing a 3.9-mile route, connecting the University of Arizona, the Fourth Avenue business district and Congress Street. However, it’s a sure bet the voters who approved the ongoing construction didn’t know it would clog up daily transit and commerce, while distracting from the fact that Tucson already has a very present transportation system in the a� ected areas.

� e University district, Fourth Avenue and downtown were already adeptly covered by Tucson’s Sun Tran bus system and the University’s own Cat Tran . � e streetcar will perform the exact same function, but on a brand new “Made in America” scale that will cost about $196 million.

� e city claims the project will have a positive e� ect on surrounding businesses. However, in an email to the city manager, Epic Cafe owner Brian Wol� claims to have already seen a 35 percent drop in revenue due to the construction. It’s unclear how strongly nearby businesses have been ef-fected by construction, but the city claims the project will create 2,850 jobs and 1,480 jobs after completion . � ese long-term jobs stem from the connectivity along the streetcar route allowing for easier commutes and better access for consumers. � is con-nectivity already existed with the use of the university’s and the city’s two bus systems, but again: now, it’s on rails.

� e city’s favorite point about their coveted brain child seems to be that it will bring pros-perity and new development to Tucson. � ey cite the example of Portland, Ore., a similarly-sized city that put in a new streetcar, where residents invested $3.5 billion around the

On your phone, computer, and tabletThe Arizona Daily Wildcat is the UA’s main source of campus news. Published Monday through Friday,

the award-winning Wildcat is produced by students who are in touch with what you need to know.

What’s GoinG on?What’s GoinG on?

Organized fun among Greek organizations shouldn’t consist of demeaning others, but unfortunately

hazing still happens. Fifty-five percent of college students involved in clubs, teams and organizations have experienced hazing according to a survey study put out by the National Collaborative for Hazing Research and Prevention (NCHRP). The same study found that 95 percent of students did not report their hazing experience to campus officials.

Andrew Lohse, a former Sigma Alpha Epsilon member at Dartmouth College, chose to speak up about hazing on the Ivy League college campus this spring. According to Rolling Stone magazine, Lohse was a die-hard pledge that gradually developed a guilty conscience concerning the morality of his fraternity’s actions. After getting mixed up

in drugs and nearing a mental breakdown, Lohse decided to speak out about the hazing practices he experienced while involved in a fraternity. Initiations such as being forced into a Kiddie Pool full of human excrement or having to eat egg and vomit, known as a “vomlet,” were described by Lohse.

Why would someone go through such torture and stay silent? It could be due to the strong social stigma attached to whistle-

blowing, or perceptions of shame associated with publicizing the inner workings of a fraternity. A second possibility is that students are subject to strong enough peer pressure and brain washing to sufficiently influence them to volunteer for hazing rituals. It’s a cycle of degradation and humiliation that trickles down to new recruits and creates what they

call “brothers.” Dartmouth administrators used Lohse’s confession to press charges against him and 27 brothers of SAE. All members denied the claims, stopping the case proceeding, whereas the charges against Lohse were already substantiated due to his own confession. Lohse came forward with the hope of altering the tradition, but instead, he incriminated himself. This may lead to his expulsion from Dartmouth.

Hazing is as pointless as trying to find a needle in a haystack, a task that as a former fraternity pledge, I had to perform. It was my worst hazing experience. What is the point of tasks like these? Why is this type of behavior acceptable and viewed as brotherly tradition? Why don’t more people speak up?

The survey done by the NCHRP states that hazing is more or less accepted as a part of campus culture, with 69 percent of students saying they are aware of hazing behaviors and don’t condemn it. It’s illegal in 44 states, yet the law seems to turn the other cheek and hazing is accepted.

There are no easy answers here, but future pledges should consider if sacrificing one’s integrity for the sake of remaining a member is really worth it.

Dartmouth hazing sets a bad example for Greek Life

Portland also has a median household income that, according to U.S. Census data, is $10,000 greater than Tuc-son’s, making their streetcar more affordable in relation to taxpayer funding.

When completed, the Tucson Modern Streetcar will be a lot of things. It will be at-tractive, efficient and good for the environ-ment. It may even stand up to its claims as a boost for business and overall connectivity. However, the one thing the streetcar will never be is necessary.

Grab your blankets and banjos folks, it’s summertime. � e town of Marana will begin its Bluegrass Summer Concert Series at Crossroads at Silverbell Park , where bluegrass musicians from across Arizona grace the stage every second Saturday of each month .

� is Saturday, Arizona State Guitar Champion Greg Morton will perform in the series. Morton has won three TAMMIES (Tucson Area Music Awards) for Best Acoustic Guitarist in 2001, 2002 and 2004 . His band, Greg Morton Trio, won TAMMIES for Best Country and Western Band in 2003 and Best Bluegrass Band in 2004 .

Morton was born in Memphis, Tenn. and began playing guitar when he was 12 years old . His brother, Randal Morton, learned to play the banjo, and the two toured the country together. � ey headlined multiple bluegrass festivals and performing with various bands, including Don Ho’s band in

Honolulu, Hawaii. After his travels brought him to Tucson, Greg Morton was showered with fan support and a slew of awards, making him a hot item on this summer’s bluegrass concert roster.

� e concert this Saturday will open with the band Manzanita at 6:15 p.m . � e

Greg Morton Band takes the stage at 7 p.m. Admission to the concert series is free, though donations are highly encouraged. Performances will run through through September.

It’s 9 p.m. and Solar Culture, a local per-formance venue, is packed. A crowd dances wildly to the lively, loud and upbeat music of Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars . � e paint-ings and prints lining the walls shiver with the pounding beat and the bouncing audience. � e music is unabashedly joyous, the groove infectious.

� e band sings in Krio, a hybrid of English and various African dialects — the de facto language of Sierra Leone. � eir style is a mixture of Kingston-approved reggae and traditional West African rhythms.

� e Black Nature Band, led by a founding member of the Refugee All Stars, Alhaji Je� rey

“Black Nature” Kamara , opened the show. � eir sound was more rock-and-reggae oriented, with two young women front and center, wailing backup vocals and dancing. � e band played tightly together and had strong, original material. Kamara’s position at the drums ensured precise but explosive rhythms in every song, while the girls pulled their weight with a few standout vocal solos.

When the Refugee All Stars took the stage, the real fun began. � e music was exuberant and irrepressible. Skinny hipsters and middle-aged women danced side-by-side, and people exchanged grins as they jumped and dripped sweat. Showmanship is an art which bandleader and lead singer Reuben M. Koroma has an obvious understanding

of, and his constant strutting and energetic performance complement the spectacle of his powerful vocal delivery.

� e people in the audience have little � rsthand experience of what life has been like for these refugees from Sierra Leone, but the sheer joy of experiencing their music makes everyone understand that it doesn’t matter: Music is truly the universal language.

Three years ago, juniors Kurt Heyer, Alex Mejia, Seth Mejias-Brean, Joey Rickard, and Robert Refsnyder came to Arizona as freshmen with the task of rebuilding an Arizona baseball program that almost lost its head coach, following a “toxic team and a toxic season,” as head coach Andy Lopez put it.

Now, after leading Arizona to its third super regional appearance in program history and its first as host, the quintet of super star juniors may leave together as well.

Tuesday, all five were se-lected in the Major League Baseball Draft. The St. Louis Cardinals selected Mejia, the Pac-12 Player of the

Year and current finalist for the Brooks Wal-lace Shortstop of the Year award, with the 150th overall selection in the fourth round.

“I got a call from a scout and didn’t know what was going on,” Mejia said. “I’m excited to have been a part of this draft. Anywhere I

went, I would have been happy.”The Cardinals did not wait much longer

to select another Wildcat, Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year Kurt Heyer, with the 210th pick in the sixth round. Heyer led the Pac-12 with an 11-2 regular season record and 2.03 ERA entering the postseason.

“I think it’s an honor,” Heyer said. “I’m really happy. Hopefully, I get to room with Mejia again. We’ll just see what happens.”

The New York Yankees pounced on out-fielder Refsnyder in the fifth round, taking him with the 187th selection. Refsnyder, who leads the team in home runs with six, and has a .353 batting average, may make a position switch from the outfield to infield, depending on what the Yankees see from him if he decides to leave school.

“[Refsnyder] played at second base his freshman year here, about 10 games,” Lopez said. “He was an infielder in high school, so it’s not a stretch. When organizations called

The most important reason behind Ari-zona baseball’s hosting an NCAA regional this year may not have anything to do with the on-field product. In August 2011, Arizo-na baseball agreed to play its home games at the city-owned Hi Corbett Field, for the 2012 season and presumably beyond. Prior to this season, all home games were played at Frank Sancet Stadium, which holds 6,500 people, mere steps away from the coaches’ offices in McKale Center.

Head coach Andy Lopez does not shy away from tying his team’s Pac-12 Champi-onship season to the move to Hi Corbett.

“There is no way that we do what we did this year if we’re not at Hi Corbett,” Lopez

said after last Sunday’s walk-off win over ASU. “There were times in that situation (in Sancet) where you didn’t feel the electricity. For me, it’s the intangibles. You can’t really put your finger on it, but it’s there, so to speak.”

The Hi Corbett atmosphere has been electric for the Wildcats this season, who averaged 2,461 fans in 35 home games. In their final season in Sancet, Arizona averaged 137 percent less attendance with just 1,103 per game. The lack of a present, enthusiastic atmosphere in Sancet affected Arizona’s ability to host in the postseason, Lopez said.

“I felt the club in 2008 had a chance to compete for the national championship,” Lopez said. “We have it all lined up and we beat someone up

TrackIn Eugene, Ore., the men’s and women’s track team fell to eventual Pac-12 cham-pion Oregon in the conference tournament. Despite the loss, the Wildcats still improved both the men’s and women’s ranking to No. 3 in the country for the men, and No. 10 for the women. The men and women will com-bine to send 13 individuals and one relay team to NCAA championships, to be held this weekend in Des Moines, Iowa.

GolfMen’s golf headed to Norman, Okla. for the NCAA regionals, but failed to move on, placing ninth in the three-day competition. From the women, only senior Margarita Ramos advanced past the regional round of play. Ramos concluded her collegiate career as an individual at the NCAA champion-ships, finishing tied for 45th.

SoftballFor the first time in the Mike Candrea coach-ing era, Arizona missed the Women’s Col-lege World Series for back-to-back seasons. Arizona swept the regional round, and never trailed against North Dakota State and Notre Dame. In the super regionals in Oklahoma, Arizona was held to just one run in two games against NCAA Player of the Year Keilani Ricketts.

pretty good, and there was no one in the stands. I turned to my sta� at that moment and said, ‘We’re going on the road.’”

� e move to Hi Corbett has not only added to the game day presence of Arizona baseball, but also to the recruiting e� orts of the coaching sta� .

“I’m glad we’re on TV,” Lopez said prior to Friday’s 15-3 win over Missouri . “It’s good not just for Arizona baseball, but for Hi Corbett. We do recruit nationally, so I like for someone in Louisiana or some-where other than Arizona to see Hi Corbett � rst hand.”

� e nation got to see Hi Corbett and its high-energy atmosphere in action this weekend, when the Wildcats beat up on Missouri Friday and Louisville on Saturday and Sunday, a combined 47-10 to win the � rst NCAA regional Arizona has hosted in 20 seasons . In its � rst three postseason games, Hi Corbett averaged 4,192 fans.

Hi Corbett has helped the Wildcats not only o� ensively, but also as an intimidation factor. Because Hi Corbett was once home to the minor league Tucson Toros and the spring training headquarters for the Colorado Rockies , the stadium has a much bigger out� eld than is used during most college games.

� e dimensions of the out� eld are 348 feet in right � eld, 392 feet in center, and

366 feet in left � eld . To put that in perspec-tive, in Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium, the distance from home plate to right � eld is 18 feet closer, from home to center is just 8 feet longer, and from home to left � eld is just 330 feet, 36 fewer than that of Hi Corbett .

� e massive out� eld makes for plenty of extra base hit opportunities for Arizona, which Missouri head coach Tim Jamieson noticed without even seeing the � eld.

“� e � rst thing that jumped out at me was the stat sheet on Arizona. � ey have a lot of doubles,” Jamieson said. “Now I know why. It’s a big ballpark.”

me about a month ago, I said ‘� at’s some-thing he can do. He just needs the reps.’”

If he chooses to sign with the Yankees, Refsnyder said the work ethic of players such as veteran Yankees and probable Hall of Famers Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira is one thing he hopes rubs o� on him .

“Getting drafted by the Yankees, they have such a culture and tradition,” Refsnyder said. “I’m honored and blessed to be chosen. I wear number two because of Derek Jeter.”

� e Cincinnati Reds and Tampa Bay Rays took third baseman Seth Mejias-Brean and out� elder Joey Rickard in the eighth and ninth rounds, respectively . Rickard was tak-ing � y balls in practice when the Rays called. Following a brief conversation, Rickard returned to practice. Minutes later, it was the media who broke the news to Rickard.

“I didn’t even know,” Rickard said. “I just found out about 30 seconds ago. I’m in a win-win situation, so there’s not too much to be worried about. I know that sounds like I’m not worried about anything, but that’s just how I went about it.”

Lopez has high hopes for all of his juniors, citing their collective heart as the determin-ing factor that will separate them from more highly touted players.

“Like all things in athletics, you can’t mea-sure heart,” Lopez said. “I’ll miss them a lot when it’s all said and done. � ey’re a special

group. � ey’ve been unbelievably good in terms of baseball, but also unbelievably good in terms of leadership and classroom.”

� e Wildcats are just two wins away from an appearance in the College World Series, which would be their � rst since 2004. Ari-zona (41-17) will face St. John’s this weekend in a best-of-three series .

“Who knows, maybe some of them will come back, but I don’t have a very good track record of keeping juniors,” Lopez said.

Tennis� e women’s tennis team advanced to the re-gional round of NCAA play, but fell to North Carolina at Chapel Hill 4-2 . Sophomore Lacey Smyth advanced in the individual regionals and defeated the nations No. 10 player . Smyth, however, fell to Tennessee’s Natalie Pluskota in three sets and was elimi-nated from the single’s bracket.

BasketballFormer UA center Jesse Perry is now facing three felony charges of domestic violence aggravated assault, a class four felony, stem-ming from an April incident in which Perry and a former girlfriend got into an argument that turned physical at Perry’s apartment. Perry’s next court date is unknown, but an arraignment is expected within a month .
