Due to the legal challenge, the Board of Regents announced Thursday that in order “to allow members of the public to attend,” they will now be holding their dinner meetings, typically held the evening before their regular meeting time, at the UW Club on campus. Governing boards of other universities in the state also have a common practice of holding dinners before their regular meetings. But the animal-rights groups aren’t the only activist organizations that spoke out against the administration during the assembly. Members of student group Divest UW also came and spoke during the public comment portion of the Voices escalated, cheers echoed between the buildings, and chants filled the ears of passing students on Red Square on Thursday morning as student group Divest UW and its supporters gathered around the Broken Obelisk. Divest UW held the rally of approximately 50 people after President Michael Young didn’t put the group on the Board of Regents’ agenda for their meeting on Thursday. The rally transitioned from chanting in Red Square to sitting quietly during the public comments section of the board’s meeting as two Divest UW members spoke about disappointments regarding the UW’s investments in fossil fuels, specifically coal. Bryce Bartl-Geller, a sophomore majoring in environmental science resource management (ESRM) and Divest UW core member in shareholder engagement, was one of the speakers on Red Square. “I am scared,” Bartl-Geller said. “I am fearful of the apathy I see in some members of our student body. I am fearful of the fact that our leaders in this university and beyond are failing to address climate change, the most pressing issue of our time.” Divest UW and the UW Treasury Office have formed six initiatives since 2013 addressing investments and possible areas of improvement for the UW. One is shareholder engagement, another is moving the UW’s investments to clean energy. The rest of the initiatives involve using environmental, social and corporate governance (ESGs) in investments, engaging with students, employing a research assistant to explore other areas of investment, and using a See REGENTS, page 2 See DIVEST, page 2 Zezhou Jing The Daily Animal rights activists protest during the Board of Regents meeting which approved the construction of the Animal Research and Care Facility Project.

ADMIN UW AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS By Imana Gunawan The Daily During its meeting Thursday, the Board of Regents approved administrative changes and plans for several facilities on campus, which invited interruption from several activist groups present in Petersen Room of Allen Library. As regents voted to approve construction plans for the new underground Animal Research and Care Facility (ARCF) to be built under the Portage Bay Vista, members of activist groups Don’t Expand UW Primate Testing and Portland Animal Class days left 14 Liberation chanted, “If you want some peace and rest, cut your ties with animal test,” and, “Your money, your fault,” in protest of the decision. The UW Police Department officers eventually came and escorted the group members out after board chair William Ayers told the groups they were disrupting the meeting. Last month, Don’t Expand UW Primate Testing also filed a lawsuit against the university and claimed the UW broke the state’s open-meetings law when it discussed the construction of a new animal-research laboratory during a dinner meeting last year at President Michael Young’s 12,000 squarefoot, university-owned residence in Washington Park.

They criticized not only the university for continuing to invest in fossil fuel, but also the president and the board for leaving the issue of coal divestment out of the agenda even though students have cooperated in going through procedures to get the issues on the schedule. “We are tired of sitting,” said senior Mary Herman, a representative of Divest UW. “For two years, we sat in meetings. … We’ve taken these steps in this way because we were told by President Young that [for] all the work we’ve done, the payoff would [be] at least an information item at this meeting today. I’m ashamed to say that it surprises me that the only way Divest UW is accounted for at this meeting is here in the public comments section.” The student group asked that an information item regarding coal divestment be put on regents’ meeting agenda for January 2015, and a vote be made during the meeting in February. During the Finance and Asset Management Committee meeting earlier in the day, regents approved plans for the new Life Sciences Building, which is currently only in its pre-design phase. The board’s approval will begin the design process for the approximately $160 million dollar project. “We’ve been able to allocate some additional money for the construction,” said Jon Lebo, director of major projects group from the Capital Projects Office, during the committee meeting. “We’re very pleased … we’re getting ready to move into the design phase.” In addition, the Life Sciences Building will also be coordinating with the ACRF to house animals for research that won’t be in the ACRF such as birds, bats, reptiles, or fish. Prior to the regents’ regular meeting time, the board’s Academic and Student Affairs Committee met and approved new positions for associate vice presidents, deans, department chairs, as well as professors. In addition, ASUW President Christina Xiao and Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) President Alice Popejoy provided updates to the board. Popejoy explained about the GPSS’ focus on improving infrastructures for members of the UW community with childcare needs on campus. Xiao stressed the ASUW’s focus on making the costs of attending the university more affordable and updated the board on the ASUW Student Senate’s legislative agenda. “We also emphasized the greater public benefit that the University of Washington brings, especially drawing attention to the role the university can play in social mobility in society,” Xiao said. The Board of Regents’ meeting on Dec. 11 is canceled. The next meeting will be held Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015 with the location and time to be determined.

This is what Savannah Romero, co-chair of First Nations, said of Native history, which has been so rewritten it has discredited and buried truths. However, campus groups are trying to help truth grow through the dirt. In 1990, former President George H. W. Bush declared November as Native American Heritage Month. As part of the celebration, First Nations and the umbrella organization, ASUW American Indian Student Commission (AISC), are holding several events to nurture historical and cultural truths by challenging perspectives and educating the community. On Nov. 19, the AISC is hosting This is Hip Hop, an event featuring musical and graffiti performances, to help create a more diverse picture of the Native community. First Nations is hosting Taking Back the Dinner in two weeks, on a date before Thanksgiving to be determined. The potluck is intended to promote a more accurate understanding of Native history. “We’re taught this story when we’re young of the pilgrims coming over and [of ] the Indians,” Romero said. “How they came together and helped each other, and there was turkey and corn from page 1 November 20-22 Meany Hall 44 | 26 DIVERSITY VARIOUS UW COMMUNITIES DIVEST Intimate romanticism of Nat King Cole standards juxtaposed with hip-hop 43 | 29 Campus organizations cultivate truth through Native American Heritage Month 44 | 27 Sunday financial tool to reduce the carbon risks. At the board meeting, Mary Herman, a senior majoring in geography and environmental science, said the Treasury and Divest UW have been working together successfully. However, Divest UW still wants better communication with the Board of Regents. “We have been pretty civil; we have been sitting in meetings, negotiating on good faith and that good faith has been broken,” said Alex Lenferna, graduate student in philosophy and core Divest UW member. “It’s time for investments to match claims to broader commitments. It seems News tips 47 | 34 Monday 49 | 38 Tuesday Weather provided by NOAA and this huge celebration. But that wasn’t the real history of Thanksgiving.” The first Thanksgiving wasn’t a peaceful dinner between Puritan settlers and Native Americans, Romero said. While the Native tribe was giving thanks during its Green Corn Ceremony, settlers attacked and murdered 700 unarmed men, women, and children of the tribe. The settlers gave thanks for their victory, and that is where the term Thanksgiving came from. The dinner is a time for the community to remember and honor that Native tribe’s tragedy. “Taking Back the Dinner is just acknowledging that history and that Thanksgiving isn’t all about happiness and friendship,” she said. “A lot of people lost their lives.” The event is not only about acknowledging a more accurate history of Thanksgiving, but also for the Native community to come together and make connections. It is a time when people with a mutual understanding of history can provide each other with support and guidance. Romero said she hopes to see increased involvement from staff and faculty, because they can offer a lot of knowledge to the student community. In addition to the Native community, the month’s events also involve several communities on campus. This is Hip Hop, a collaboration between AISC, Hip Hop Student Association (HHSA), the Asian Student Commission, and the Women’s Action Commission, focuses on intersectionality between these cultural groups and seeks to demonstrate their diversity. AISC director Sharayah Lane said this event is a way to branch out and represent different parts of Native culture that may not be recognized by other people. Lane believes using hip-hop is effective because hip-hop culture is already very diverse. Patricia Allen, head of community outreach for HHSA, said hip-hop provides a safe space for people to express their grievances in a productive and creative way, instead of through violence. As a member of the Tlingit tribe and former officer for First Nations, Allen said hip-hop is a contemporary alternative for traditional storytelling and cultural learning within Native communities. Many tribes have passed their knowledge and traditions down through oral narratives, songs, dances, and visual arts. However, according to Allen, these methods are not considered as credible or as important as written history. Subsequently, Native American experiences have been buried under western interpretations and rewritten in history books, she said. Hip-hop offers a way for Native communities to reclaim and legitimize their histories without having to compromise their own cultures. “Hip-hop is a movement of consciousness,” Allen said. “It’s used as a platform to empower and educate.” like a perverse idea of economics where values don’t match what the university espouses.” Divest UW’s supporters include the ASUW, the Graduate and Professional Student Senate, and the UW’s Earth Club. Moreover, approximately 600 students, faculty, and staff have signed Divest UW’s petition against coal and broader fossil fuel investments. Outside of the UW, Carbon Washington, The Socialist Alternative, 350.org, The Rising Tide, and Climate Solutions have also supported Divest UW. Former Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn spoke at the rally and urged the regents and the president to follow the actions of other institutions that have divested, such as the Rockefeller Foundation, Stanford University, and the City of Seattle. “We are the first generation that can see the effects of climate change right in front of us,” McGinn said. “We are also the last generation that can do anything about it. … Board of Regents, do the right thing.” Initially asking the UW to divest from fossil fuels abroad, Divest UW compromised by whittling its request down to coal investment. “And guess how much [investment] we have in coal?” said Sarra Tekola, ESRM major and core Divest UW member. “.08 percent of our endowment. That’s how easy it is.” The Daily is interested in story tips from readers.

Visit us online at dailyuw.com Opinion Re: “Unite these states.” Be careful what you wish for! According to federal law, cannabis is still classified as a controlled substance. It has not been legalized for medical use, let alone recreational use (and some argue that Initiative 502 does not “legalize” cannabis as much as you might think). Thus “State’s Rights” actually inhibits the federal government from prosecuting growers, distributers, and consumer of cannabis in Washington (though not completely). Furthermore, Washington State’s proposed tax revenue from cannabis sales will be exposed to seizure and prosecution as a form of “drug money laundering” if the federal government decides to press the issue.

D. student Materials Science and Engineering In response to “Voting by the Numbers,” Indigo TriggHauer, Wednesday, Nov. 12th I disagree with the statements made about older white Americans in Indigo Trigg- Hauer’s Wednesday article, titled “Voting by the numbers”. She writes that if young people don’t take the initiative to vote, “a bunch of old white people are going to be deciding our future, and nobody wants that but them.” This statement expresses prejudice and disregard towards a sizable, dedicated sector of our voting population. As a young Black voter, I feel strongly that unfounded written attacks— be they of an age-related, racial or any other nature— are unwarranted and unwelcome on this campus. Growing older does not render one’s vote less valid or less valuable, any more so than being Black or low-income or disabled; all voters are equally legitimate and valuable. Statements such as those made in this article only perpetuate a spiteful, divisive age-related bias, and they have no place in a paper that stresses social equality and inclusiveness.

To advance this goal, we have created a guest editorial policy to enable individuals and community organizations to share their unique perspectives in the pages of The Daily. Each editorial must be fewer than 750 words in length and should center on an original argument and not merely report on a program or event. Every editorial must be relevant to the UW Seattle campus or the U-District community. We will not print editorials previously published elsewhere. Further, The Daily reserves the right to not print any editorial. Our decision will be determined by a number of factors, including timeliness and space. It is unlikely we will print more than one guest editorial article by the same individual or organization in a single academic quarter, although we reserve the right to do so. Authors of guest editorials will not receive monetary compensation for their work. Guest editorials must include the author’s full name, contact information, and UW affiliation: year and major/department for students, department for faculty and staff, or degree and year graduated for alumni. The Daily does not publish anonymous guest editorials. Interested? Dear UW Daily, I recently heard that the University of Washington plans to tear down Hed Edmundson Pavilion Pool to make way for offices? This is sad news for those of us in the swimming community here in Seattle and beyond. In 2009, the University of Washington Swimming Program was cancelled after 77 years. The main reason given was that the facility was inadequate. Yet, in 2009, Coach Whitney Hite produced men’s and women’s swim teams that placed 22nd and 15th at the NCAA Championships. Coach Hite was on his way to taking the University of Washington Swimming Program to a top ten NCAA finish in 2010 with this facility. This is a feat that had not happened since the 1970’s when my father Earl Ellis coached the men’s swim team to a top ten NCAA finish from 19711975. Pavilion Pool is beloved by Pacific Northwest swimmers young and old. Built in 1937, it is a rarity these days to find a pool !

Arts & Leisure | Film review | Danielle Palmer-Friedman A&L Editor [email protected] Tweet @ArtsUWDaily The Daily A&L // 4 ‘Beyond the Lights,’ dir. Gina Prince-Bythewood There’s more beyond the pop star than you think By Indigo Trigg-Hauger The Daily From the trailers, “Beyond the Lights” looks like an asinine, feelgood movie. Ignore the trailers. This movie has substance and a complex message, all wrapped up in story that feels real and relatable. I’ll admit, I went into this movie thinking it would be a chick flick in the Nicholas Sparks vein, which I would gleefully tear to shreds. A good chick flick can be fun, but unnecessary tearjerkers can be exploitative and cheap. Instead, “Beyond the Lights” is both a romance and a commentary on how women in the music industry often have little control over their image. Noni, played perfectly by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, is an up-andcoming pop star who is about to release her first album. Her mother, Macy (Minnie Driver, amazing as usual), introduced at the start of the film, is obsessed with Noni being the best, most successful singer she can be. The high-pressure environment is already getting to Noni. She tries to commit suicide, but is saved just in time by Kaz (Nate Parker), a cop poised for politics. As their story unfolds, Noni’s career affects her even more, and things start to fall apart. Noni and Kaz’s relationship side-steps typical romantic movie cliches, much to the film’s benefit. There are no wild misunderstandings or absurd mix-ups. Rather, their relationship follows a nonlinear trajectory that is more realistic, and much sweeter than high drama viewers are used to. This isn’t simply a romance though. Noni’s career is at the center of everything, and we see firsthand how messed up the music industry is. Noni’s entire image is produced and packaged by other people. She just wants to sing, but is being stripped of her agency and humanity in the process. Her own mother is complicit in the process. This theme isn’t heavy-handed; it feels real. Noni’s life is literally commodified, and her sexuality is exploited. Sex is not completely condemned in the film — thankfully “Beyond the Lights” avoids the virgin-whore complex — but the way she is presented to the public is uncomfortable and highly reminiscent of many current pop stars. As if commentary on women’s agency wasn’t enough, the film is also a triumph regarding racial representation. Most romantic films have a white couple with one or two black characters. “Beyond the Lights” completely flips this around: Noni is mixed race and Kaz is black. Whereas most secondary and background characters tend to be white, in this film almost all of them are black, except for some scenes which give very good, very subtle commentary on racial relationships in America and the United Kingdom. The three antagonist characters are white, visibly challenging the status quo of Hollywood movies. This very deliberate casting, which shines a spotlight on how white most movies are, feels utterly natural. There are some references to race, highlighting how people of color are treated, but these scenes are not the point of the film. Ultimately it’s a love story. That’s what makes it so powerful: the racial dynamics in the background are everyday occurrences and are presented as such. Director-writer Gina Prince-Bythewood doesn’t shy away from the topic of race, but she also makes you focus primarily on the love story in front of you. That’s skill: to make the audience both think critically and become immersed. Yes, “Beyond the Lights” might make you cry, but it is no cheap Nicholas Sparks movie. If you go for a sweet romance, you’ll find it, along with a beautiful soundtrack and excellent styling. But this is also the rare film that doesn’t pull punches as it casually critiques society. A deep chick flick? This is it. Reach writer Indigo Trigg-Hauger at [email protected]. Twitter: @uwindigo Courtesy photo The verdict: “Beyond the Lights” is so much more than it seems. Get in the mood for love songs and heartache with a dose of self-reflection, and go see it with your favorite person. | Film review | ‘Dumb and Dumber To,’ dirs. Bobby and Peter Farelly Twenty year older, twenty years dumber By Dominique Etzel Contributing writer Two decades ago, long before some of us were even born, the big screen was introduced to the painfully stupid but incredibly big-hearted duo of Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels). The daunting question for the sequel was whether Lloyd and Harry could capture the audience just as well as they did in 1994. The answer is yes. The storyline isn’t challenging, nor does it provoke any deep thought, but that is expected from a movie that shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Lloyd leaves the mental institution where he has spent the past 20 years, and Harry joins him on yet another chaotic adventure. The two set off to find Harry’s adopted daughter whom he has never met. Along the way we are introduced to two new cliche villains played by Laurie Holden from “The Walking Dead” and Rob Riggle from “21 Jump Street.” Directors Bobby and Peter Farelly, who are known for the films “Shallow Hal” and “The Ringer,” created another movie transforming underdogs into heroes. This movie doesn’t solely focus on the actions of these two characters but rather their heartfelt attitude and determination that has viewers rooting for them from start to finish. For years, people nervously anticipated “Dumb and Dumber To,” waiting to see if the sequel could become an instant classic like the original. The Farelly brothers were not responsible for the prequel “Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd” because they had no interest in creating the story without Carrey and Daniels. The Farelly brothers are not the type to create sequels but they got this one off the ground after a great period of time with the help of Carrey, who contacted the directors five years ago. Originally, Daniels was not the top choice for the part of Lloyd because of his lack of previous comedic roles. However, the chemistry between Carrey and Lloyd was undeniable, as proven in the first movie. This genuine chemistry is still present in the sequel. The theater was in high spirits during Lloyd and Harry’s crosscountry adventure full of pranks and slapstick humor. The ridiculous antics keep the audience laughing throughout, and the timeless jokes we grew so fond of in the first movie, like the chipped tooth and the mutt mobile, are revisited. Additionally, a variety of the latest Empire of the Sun tracks provide background music during the appropriately upbeat parts of the movie. The combination of effortless humor and good music make the movie worth watching. Reach contributing writer Dominique Etzel at [email protected]. Twitter: @etzeld1 The verdict: If you are a fan of the original and are looking for a mindless comedy, you will get a genuine laugh out of this sequel. Courtesy photo The Daily A&L // 5 Friday, Nov. 14, 2014 | Film review | ‘Rosewater,’ dir. Jon Stewart Hope shining through the darkness By Shane Lantz Contributing writer When first-time directors take their place behind the camera, the resulting films are often in one of two categories: surprisingly good or jawdroppingly awful. “Rosewater,” the directorial debut of “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart, falls into the first category. Stewart is well-known for his sarcastic and sardonic wit, but his new film is serious and contemplative, albeit with bits of humor thrown in. The film, based on real events, follows a young Iranian journalist, Maziar Bahari (Gael García Bernal), who is arrested and accused of being a spy by the Iranian government after he documents the violence that erupts after the disputed 2009 presidential elections. Bahari is kept in prison for months and is interrogated by a man he calls Rosewater. The interrogation tactics are brutal and psychologically disturbing. Rosewater tries to crush Bahari’s spirit, keeping him isolated from the outside world. This element of the movie is so tense and stressful that it makes the heavy feeling all but unbearable for the audience. Bahari has no one to turn to and nobody on his side in the prison, making it feel as if the outside world has left him behind. Stewart’s depiction of Bahari’s stay in solitary confinement is extremely moving. The scenes that depict Bahari’s hallucinations of his late father, who was also a political prisoner, give a sense of meaning to his struggle, and provide the film’s most powerful emotional moments. The prison scenes create a sense of dread and are claustrophobic in a physical and emotional way. The moments when Bahari is at his lowest make the movie an extraordinary narrative, one in which the audience feels trapped along with the main character. Most of the middle part of the film only shows what is occurring within the prison, and everyone, except the main character and his interrogator, is gone for a lengthy period. This only adds to the tension and the feeling of isolation; the prison walls seem to creep closer with every scene. Stewart’s directorial debut is impressive. His trademark humor is still present, with several light moments sprinkled in among the turmoil, such as when Bahari enchants his captor with a tale about a sensual massage. Stewart branches out effectively from political cynicism, but he does struggle at times to find his identity as a director. The dialogue can be clunky at times. The endless interrogating is repetitive, but was possibly a purposeful storytelling tool. Stewart doesn’t give the character of Rosewater much depth, a missed opportunity at exploring the humanity inside of a man who, on the surface, appears to be a monster. The audience only sees his facade of anger, never really diving into what makes his character tick. Bahari was arrested after doing an interview on “The Daily Show,” so Stewart has a personal connection to the story that gives it an emotional punch. The way that he discusses the indignity that Bahari went through, while not making the movie seem like it’s pushing a political agenda, is very well done. The skill shown by the first-time director is impressive and it bodes well for his future as a director. Reach contributing writer Shane Lantz at [email protected]. Twitter: @Shane_Lantz93 Courtesy photo The verdict: A surprisingly solid and emotional film. Jon Stewart does a great job of expanding his horizons beyond comedy and creates a powerful narrative. Hops, sip, and a chug Winter Bock Lager By Ian Cameron The Daily Silver City, based in Kitsap County, came recommended by a housemate. This Winter Bock is a satisfyingly precise balance of flavor and drinkability. It’s the colour of a light cola and pours with a small, dense head. Fairly carbonated, the fizz is almost distracting given the rich potential of the beer, but this is a minor quibble for an otherwise awesome brew. Sitting on a stool in the freezing kitchen in my house, I appreciated the malty, seasonal flavor of the beer, a good complement to a dinner of butternut squash with beans, macaroni, and spice. But, it is also delicious on its own, and I doubt it would be out of place in a warm Courtesy photo bar, ski lodge, or zeppelin lounge.

San Diego State at UW, Dec. 7, 6 p.m. This was an offseason unlike any other for the Washington men’s basketball team. For the first time since they entered college, all of the UW’s players stayed in Seattle this summer, taking classes, spending extra hours in the gym, and playing “a lot” of pickup basketball, as head coach Lorenzo Romar put it. “It was important for all of us,” junior forward Jernard Jarreau said. “It was something that nobody had ever done since we’d been here. I’ve been here four years and we’ve never done that. … It was pretty tough at some times, but we got through it, and we had our little fun days too.” All of the UW’s players except one — junior guard Andrew Andrews, who traveled to China to play with a Pac-12 all-star team against Chinese professional teams in August — spent roughly eight weeks togetaher in Seattle before heading home for a shorter period of rest and relaxation. Andrews participated in team work on either side of his trip to China, though. And just as important as the extra hours on the court were all the hours the group spent together off it, growing as a unit and continuing to build the team chemistry that separates talented teams from championship ones. “It was great,” sophomore center Robert Upshaw said. “It was really smooth, we got to know each other. We just worked hard everyday, regardless of if we got up early in the morning or it was late in the afternoon. We worked hard everyday, we bonded, and we had good times.” For his part, Romar was pleased with what he saw from his group. “Camaraderie did not suffer as a result,” Romar said. “Our guys got stronger, our guys established more of a foundation as a team, I thought.” On Friday, after months of hard work, Romar’s team finally takes the court together in a meaningful game when they host South Carolina State at 7 p.m. at Alaska Airlines Arena. While they’ve been playing together for a while now, the Huskies are excited to see how all the extra time they put in the offseason manifests itself on the court. They got a brief glimpse last Thursday, when the Huskies beat Saint Martin’s 88-65 in an exhibition game. That night, Romar cycled through his roster, with 13 of the 14 players on the UW roster seeing the floor. The Huskies had a great deal of success inside, where they outrebounded Saint Martin’s 52-33 and outscored the Saints 42-28 inside the paint. That interior dominance was due in large part to three imposing and talented presences who are just starting to gel together and each of whom is still getting comfortable for the UW. Senior forward Shawn Kemp led all scorers in that game with 19 points, while Upshaw — a transfer from Fresno State — and Jarreau — still coming back from a torn ACL suffered in last season’s opener — each made returns to the court after sitting out for the better part of the past 12 months. Of course, their returns were made that much easier by the work they put forth in the summer. “It was good, it was pretty helpful for some players, just to get their bodies right,” Jarreau said. “And for myself, I was able to focus on my knee a lot. I wasn’t doing normal workouts, so I was doing twice the workouts as those guys with my trainer.” Three home games to get to Alaska Airlines Arena for The UW’s second nonconference home game is by far the best matchup, as a very good Aztecs team comes to Hec Ed. SDSU is ranked 16th in the preseason AP Poll, and the game in Seattle is the first true road game of the year for the Aztecs, who were a four seed in last year’s NCAA tournament. Follow us on Twitter @UWDailySports 2. Washington State at UW, Jan. 10, noon For the conference opener, the Huskies get a visit from a very familiar foe, as the cross-state rival Cougars come to visit. It’s expected to be something of a down year for the Cougs, who were picked to finish 11th in the Pac-12 in a preseason media poll, which makes this a must-win game for the UW to start conference play on the right foot. Daily student deal of $1 off Lunch Special with valid Husky I.D. 3. Arizona at UW, Feb. 13, 6 p.m. There’s little doubt as to who the Pac-12 favorite is entering the season. Arizona starts the year ranked No. 2 in the AP Poll, and the only other Pac-12 team ranked in the poll is No. 25 Utah. The Huskies haven’t had a marquee win over a top team in a few years, and this will probably be their only shot at one this year, since the UW doesn’t travel to the desert. Three away games to tune in to 1. UW vs. Oklahoma (MGM Grand Showcase in Las Vegas), Dec. 20, 6 p.m. On the same day the UW football team could play in the Las Vegas Bowl, the Huskies’ basketball team will play in Vegas against a team ranked in the preseason AP Poll. After earning a five seed but losing in the first round of last year’s NCAA tournament, the Sooners are ranked No. 19 to start this year, and they will provide a tough test for a UW team that went 3-10 in games away from home in 2013-14. 2. UW at Utah, Jan. 25, 5:30 p.m. By late January, the Pac-12 will have sorted into a bit of a pecking order, and it’s likely Utah will be near the top of that group. The Utes are 25th in the preseason poll, and winning in Salt Lake City is extremely difficult: Utah was 18-2 at home last year, only losing to a pair of top-10 teams. Anastasia Stepankowsky The Daily Junior guard Andrew Andrews was with his UW teammates for most of the summer, but he also traveled to China to play with a group of Pac-12 stars. Before last week’s game, the Huskies were chomping at the bit to get out on the court against a real opponent. “We’ve been here the whole summer, doing things against each other for a long time now,” Andrews said last week. “So it’s going to be good to go out and have a real game and combine as one unit. It’s going to be great.” Now, with another week of practice and 40 minutes of basketball under their belts, they’re ready to play for real. And, more importantly, after a summer spent developing together, they’re confident and comfortable. “I don’t think last year we really had that team chemistry and team bonding with each other,” Jarreau said. “This year, it just feels way different. It’s just like a brotherhood.” Reach Sports Editor Daniel Rubens at [email protected]. Twitter: @drubens12 Ang D.

Wallingford, 2227 N 56th Street Seattle WA, 98103 3. UW at USC, Feb. 28, 7:30 p.m. The Huskies hope that come the end of February, they will be strongly in the mix for an NCAA tournament berth. USC could be well out of the race for one of those at-large spots by this time, but the Trojans would love to play the role of spoiler, and the UW will want to finish strong after losing six of its final 10 regular-season games last year. Reach Sports Editor Daniel Rubens at [email protected]. Twitter: @drubens12 Upshaw, Jarreau key to UW’s success By Joe Veyera The Daily Anastasia Stepankowsky The Daily Sophomore center Robert Upshaw, a 7-foot transfer from Fresno State, will be a force defensively if he can settle in the UW’s starting lineup this season. Different circumstances kept Robert Upshaw and Jernard Jarreau off the basketball court last season. But the pair of big men find themselves feeling the same after their time away from the game: humbled. Upshaw hasn’t taken the floor in a regular season college basketball game since March 9, 2013. Jarreau played just 93 seconds in last season’s opener against Seattle University before a torn ACL ended his night and his year. Now, the two will be key to any postseason aspirations for the Huskies after a three-year NCAA tournament drought. Last season, the Huskies finished at the top of the conference in preventing the 3-pointer, holding opponents to a .293 field goal percentage from behind the arc. However, the UW still finished 11th in the Pac-12 in field goal percentage defense at .459, a single point ahead of Washington State at .460. Enter Upshaw and Jarreau. The 7-foot center who last played at Fresno State and the 6-foot-10 forward out of New Orleans should provide the interior defense that was so sorely lacking last year. Despite averaging just 16 minutes a night in his lone season at Fresno State, Upshaw led the Bulldogs and was sixth in the Mountain West Conference with 39 blocks. With last year’s top two shot blockers, C.J. Wilcox and Perris Blackwell, lost to graduation, Upshaw will more than shoulder the load to keep shots away from the hoop. At his height, there’s no excuse for him not to. While Jarreau posted middling numbers two seasons ago, he’s added 25 pounds to his frame in the past year, and should provide a stronger presence in the middle. The hurdles both have faced in their returns have made the pair more appreciative of the opportunity to play basketball. For Upshaw, who often wondered whether he’d be eligible to play this year, being away from the sport made him realize the game could be taken away in a second. “It felt like a career-ending injury, it felt like I was never going to be able to play again, it felt like that I was just going to be sitting on the sideline the rest of my life,” Upshaw said. “That year and a half has been the longest year and a half to me.” Jarreau, meanwhile, faced months of recovery and rehab to get back to game action. “It was something that I never had to deal with, I never really took the whole season out prior to the injury,” Jarreau said. “It was just something I learned that, never take any days for granted. Every day is a day to get better.” With Upshaw and Jarreau on the floor, the Huskies should be better — at least defensively. They both worked hard to get back on the floor, and enter the season more confident, yet humbler than ever. If the Huskies want to play well — and well into March — those two have to be the difference. Reach Editor-in-Chief Joe Veyera at [email protected]. Twitter: @JoeVeyera birdmanthemovie.com UNI OF WASHINGTON DAILY 8 // Sports The Daily Friday, Nov. 14, 2014 Challenges keep coming as UW visits Arizona By Daniel Rubens The Daily Chris Petersen has learned very quickly just how difficult it is to play in the Pac12. Every week, a new challenge presents itself to Washington’s first year head coach. Last week, Petersen dismissed one of his best defensive players in cornerback Marcus Peters, then watched UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley torch his team’s secondary in a 44-30 Bruins win in Seattle, the UW’s third consecutive home loss in conference play. It’s the first threegame home losing skid for the Huskies since they went winless in 2008. Hitting the road won’t be a bad thing for a team trying to break out of a largescale funk that has ensnared the team over the past few weeks. But, as they have all season, the challenges keep coming. The current challenge takes the form of the No. 17 Arizona Wildcats (7-2, 4-2 Pac-12) this weekend, who will host the Huskies (6-4, 2-4 Pac-12) on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Ariz. After starting the season 5-0, the Wildcats have split their past four games, losing to both LA schools while beating Washington State and Colorado. But while they haven’t been great over the past month, Petersen had nothing but praise for Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez and his program. “This is a really good team, no question about it,” Petersen said. “I mean, you check their scores, they’ve beaten Oregon, went down to the wire with UCLA, it’s another one of those really, really good teams. I’m saying it every single week, ‘What’s going on here in this league?’ But we kind of knew that going in.” The Wildcats provide a different offensive test than the Bruins did last week, but it’s a significant one nonetheless. Redshirt freshman Anu Solomon leads an attack that is fourth in the conference in both yards and points per game, one that’s had success both on the ground and through the air this season. Stopping him won’t be an easy task for the UW, but the Huskies will have junior Shaq Thompson back on the defensive side of the ball after a threegame foray into the backfield as a running back. Petersen said he wants to work Kaia D’Albora The Daily Head coach Chris Petersen has found the sledding in the Pac-12 tough in his first season, as the UW’s four losses are tied for the most games he’s ever lost in one year. Thompson into the backfield rotation, but he will start at linebacker. “You get a playmaker,” junior linebacker Travis Feeney said when asked what Thompson brings to the defense. “You get a buddy back again. You get a guy who likes to come in there and make plays, who’s real aggressive and changes the game.” Part of the reason for Thompson’s return to the defense is the return to health of running backd Dwayne Washington, sophomore, and Lavon Coleman, redshirt freshman. Washington had a touchdown run last week in his first game action since Oct. 18, and Coleman is expected to play this week after not playing since the same game. However, while Thompson will make the switch back to defense, sophomore wide receiver John Ross will remain at his new spot of cornerback this week. Ross, who played a bit of corner at the end of last season, saw extensive action there against the Bruins, and he was listed as the starter at one spot opposite freshman Sidney Jones on the depth chart the team released Monday. Ross said he is enjoying the opportunity to hit people instead of getting hit, and he said it hasn’t been hard to change his mindset to the defensive side of the ball. “On offense, you don’t want to get hit at all,” Ross said. “So you just think about it the other way. Do that to someone that you wouldn’t want to happen to yourself. I just think of it as go hit them first, instead of letting them run by me. … You just really have to be aggressive.” Reach Sports Editor Daniel Rubens at [email protected]. Twitter: @drubens12 Huskies open season against marquee opponent By Erik Erickson The Daily Instead of opening the season against a weaker cupcake nonconference opponent to start the year, the Washington women’s basketball team will put itself to the test against an opponent that is familiar with NCAA tournament success when it travels to Norman, Okla., to face the Oklahoma Sooners on Friday at 5 p.m. “We didn’t want our last game of the year to be harder than our first game of the year, and I don’t think it is when you open at a place like Oklahoma,” head coach Mike Neighbors said. “You’re going to find out what you have to do to get to the end of the year and with this particular group they need to know that. Their goals are to finish the year with a tough opponent in a big atmosphere, so we are going to open with one.” Oklahoma enters the season having reached the tournament in each of the last 16 seasons under head coach Sherri Coale. The Sooners were one of the country’s best offensive teams a season ago, averaging 77.5 points per game, 11th in the NCAA. “It’s exciting,” senior guard Jazmine Davis said of the matchup with Oklahoma. “We want it so I think with their credibility it will be a great game for us to go down to Oklahoma and compete with them. I think we will use it as a gauge to find out where we need to be instead of opening the season with a team that you can beat. We are opening the season with a high NCAA caliber team.” Friday’s matchup should be full of offense as the Huskies return their four leading scorers from a team that averaged 72.4 points per game a season ago. Sophomore guard Kelsey Plum leads the charge for the Huskies after averaging 20.9 points per game and earning Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and First-Team All-Pac-12 honors. But despite her offensive success, Plum has been working on a different aspect of her game during the offseason. “I think the biggest thing will be defensively, I didn’t play any last year,” Plum said. “So this year moving forward, especially losing [Mercedes Wetmore] who was our defensive stopper, I think I need to step up there.” Davis and senior forward Aminah Williams return for their final seasons after averaging 18.8 and 7.4 points per game respectively last season. Junior forward Talia Walton averaged 11.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for the Huskies last year. Williams and Davis both have a good chance at becoming the UW’s all-time leaders in rebounds and points, respectively. Davis ranks fourth on the UW’s all-time scoring list and needs 275 points to pass Jamie Redd for first all-time. Williams has secured 835 rebounds during her career and needs 169 more boards to pass Amber Hall for most all-time. Last year, Williams ranked fourth in the Pac-12 with 10.4 rebounds per game. “All I have to worry about is coaching basketball because you got two seniors who have not only been a part, they have established the culture,” Neighbors said of Williams and Davis. “Those are the two kids, and I’m going to throw Talia in the mix, those three kids have been here as long as we have and they know the expectations and the standards.” Reach reporter Erik Erickson at [email protected].

The Daily Sports // 9 Friday, Nov. 14, 2014 Undefeated no more Huskies fall in five sets for first loss By Daniel Rubens The Daily It took 26 matches, but the Washington indoor volleyball team has something in the loss column. After a program-record 25-match winning streak to start its season, the No. 2 Huskies finally lost Thursday, falling at No. 22 Colorado (CU) in five hard-fought sets, 25-27, 24-26, 25-17, 25-23, 11-15. It was the UW’s first loss since Dec. 19, 2013, when the Huskies fell to Penn State in the Final Four. Despite dropping the first two sets, the Huskies (25-1, 14-1 Pac-12) worked their way back into the match, cruising in the third set and winning the fourth dramatically before fading down the stretch after being tied 8-8 in the final set. Each of the first two sets went down to the wire and ended with a Colorado victory in a tiebreak. The Huskies had set point at 24-23 in the opening game, but CU senior Taylor Simpson — who entered the night fourth in the Pac-12 in kills — had four kills in five points to bring the Buffs (16-11, 8-7 Pac-12) back to take the lead and the set. The UW had a chance to tie the match up 24-23 again in the second set, but the Buffaloes grabbed three straight points to open up a 2-0 overall lead. “We started out poorly in both games,” head coach Jim McLaughlin said. “We had some opportunities we could have capitalized on early to extend the lead and we didn’t. They hung around, and all of a sudden it’s a tie game at the end, and they made some plays and we didn’t. It’s a good lesson for us, we could have been out of here in three, but we weren’t.” The Huskies rebounded to easily take the third set after getting ahead early behind a .270 hitting percentage, but they almost bowed out in the fourth set. Seven points after leading 19-17, the UW found itself down 23-20. But the Huskies took advantage of three errors by the Buffs, storming back and winning six straight points to tie the match at two sets apiece. Again, the decisive set remained tight early, with Colorado going ahead before the Huskies drew the score level at six, then again at seven and eight. From there, Anastasia Stepankowsky The Daily Junior Cassie Strickland (right) digs a ball and fellow junior Katy Beals looks on. The Huskies dropped their first match of the season Thursday in Colorado. though, the Buffs were the more clinical team, capitalizing on three UW attack errors and getting two big kills in a sixpoint stretch to take a four-point lead at 13-9. The UW cut the lead back to three at 14-11, but a kill from CU senior Neira Ruiz Ortiz finished off the Huskies, and the UW leaves Boulder with it’s first loss for the second year in a row. “They’re good, and we weren’t as good as we should have been,” McLaughlin said. “I don’t think we came out with a lot of good energy. I have to make sure we’re ready and prepared to go, and we made a lot of uncharacteristic and unforced errors.” Senior Krista Vansant led the way for the Huskies with 20 kills, but was held to an unusually low .154 hitting percentage and made 10 attacking errors. Redshirt freshman Bailey Tanner had team-highs of 26 assists and 18 digs on the night. McLaughlin said he thought that his team played well, but that it didn’t play at the high level it’s shown throughout the season. “For sure they played better than we did tonight,” McLaughlin said. “We had some difficulties in some areas. We’ll have to look at it honestly and define the good and the bad and make the necessary improvements.” The Huskies don’t have a lot of time to make those improvements, though, as they now head to Salt Lake City for a matchup with Utah (15-11, 5-10 Pac-12). The Utes are coming off a pair of tough road sweeps over the LA schools and a win over Washington State on Thursday, and McLaughlin said they pose a difficult challenge for his side. “They’re playing hot right now, and we expect that,” McLaughlin said. “We have to be ready for a dogfight. We have a day to get prepared and get back to it and go back to the game we know how to play.” Reach Sports Editor Daniel Rubens at [email protected]. Twitter: @drubens12 Red-hot Rider visits UW in NCAA opener By Tessa Stephenson The Daily The No. 24 Washington women’s soccer team won’t complain about receiving a No. 4 seed in its NCAA tournament bracket. After all, the Huskies are happy just to be back in the tournament after a one-year hiatus. That high seed does give the UW home field advantage and an opponent with a lower RPI in its first playoff game. But Friday night at 7 p.m., when the Huskies kick off their postseason, they certainly won’t underestimate their opponents: the Rider Broncs. On paper, a UW (12-6-2, 5-42 Pac-12) victory over Rider (125-3) doesn’t just seem probable — it looks like a near certainty. The Huskies capped their regular season with the 15thhighest RPI in the nation, while the Broncs finished the season with the 111th-best RPI. But Rider has something on its side that the UW doesn’t: momentum. While the Huskies have either lost or tied their last four games, the Broncs have been victorious in their past three. These games weren’t just meaningless wins, either. They were upsets that ultimately led to Rider winning the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference to earn its first NCAA tournament appearance. “It’s a team that’s gone on a little bit of a tear in their conference, a team with a fighting spirit and a great underdog mentality,” head coach Lesle Gallimore said. “We’re going to expect a fight from any team we face in the NCAA tournament. We just have to be our best to be successful.” The mantra that guided the Huskies into the postseason is the same they hope will push them as far into the tournament as possible. That is their 1-0 mentality. Each game, the Huskies don’t put any focus on the past or future. All that matters is winning the game at hand. Senior forward Jaclyn Softli said that as long as the Huskies maintain this mentality, the results will come. “Everybody’s got to give all they’ve got for the full 90 minutes,” Softli said. Doing so is especially important because of the nature of the NCAAs, where a loss ends a team’s season. This is why redshirt junior goalkeeper Megan Kufeld thinks the UW needs to find a way to play it’s best soccer yet, leaving everything on the field. “We want to play our best soccer each game,” Kufeld said. “The post-season is win or go home so we don’t want to leave the field with any regrets.” Aside from being the heavy favorite, the UW is happy to have the home field advantage on their side. But they won’t put too much stock into playing at home, as the last time the Kaia D’Albora The Daily Senior forward Jaclyn Softli has been the UW’s best offensive threat this season with 10 goals. Huskies made the NCAAs, they lost to Auburn in Seattle in the first round. “Hopefully it’ll be an advantage,” Softli said of playing at Husky Soccer Stadium. “We’re just excited to play in front of a good crowd.” This year, the UW is as optimistic as ever about its chances. Kufeld said in her four years, she’s never had such high hopes for the Huskies. She can’t wait to see what they do with all of their potential. “I just am really excited to hopefully make a lot longer postseason than [we’ve] had in the past,” Kufeld said.

The No. 9 Huskies (12-4-1, 5-3-1 Pac-12) are still focused on ending the regular season strong, and they hope to do so as they honor their seniors Sunday when they face the Oregon State Beavers (10-7-1, 3-5-1 Pac-12) at Husky Soccer Stadium at 1 p.m. “We want to win, we want to do it for the seniors,” junior forward Josh Heard said. “The seniors are such a big part of the team. We want to win and end the season off right.” Sunday will mark the last regular season home game for six Huskies. Redshirt senior goalkeeper Spencer Richey, defender Andy Thoma, midfielder Charlie Ranahan, forward Darwin Jones, midfielder Chad Wissing, and midfielder Thomas Spragg will all be honored before kick off. Despite it being their last regular season home game, it probably won’t be their last game at Husky Soccer Stadium. The Huskies will most likely host at least two games when NCAA tournament play begins Nov. 20. “One thing that’s incredible is they didn’t come in thinking or knowing where they were going to go,” head coach Jamie Clark said of the seniors. “They just came in and worked and the byproduct has been the success, accolades, some championships, but it has never been the focus. It’s been a group that’s worked hard.” After back-to-back double digit save totals in the last two games took his season total to 58, Richey moved into second place on the UW’s career saves list and has now tallied 237 saves during his career. Richey trails Craig Christopherson by 30 saves for the all-time record. “You don’t ideally want to be making a bunch of saves — it’s better when I can have a no-save game — but at the same time, it’s better a save than a goal,” Richey said. “It’s pretty cool to be on a list with some pretty good goalkeepers who have come through here.” Richey could be busy on Sunday against one of the Pac-12’s best offensive combos, senior forward Khiry Shelton and freshman forward Timmy Mueller. Shelton leads the Pac12 in points with 29, is third in goals with nine, and is tied for first in assists with 11. Mueller leads the conference with 11 goals and has also recorded two assists. “They make your defenders defend,” Clark said. “Our guys have to embrace those The Daily Sports / F&G // 11 challenges. I don’t like when players get nervous to play against good players, I like when players step up. Good players will get the better of you sometimes and you understand that but you rise to the occasion and take that challenge. “I think [freshman defender] Garret [Jackson] and [sophomore defender Justin] Schmidt are looking forward to it and looking forward to handling two of the most direct, dynamic forwards in the conference,” Clark added. After a 3-2 win against California in their last match, the Huskies sit in third in the conference standings. With a little luck, they could repeat as Pac-12 regular season champions. The Huskies will need losses from UCLA and Stanford and a win against the Beavers to jump up the standings and take home the title for a second straight season. “The good thing is we are still playing for a conference title,” Clark said. “It’s in the back of our mind, but it’s not really in our control. The takeaway is three years in a row, our last game has had conference championship implications. I think that’s a huge feather in the cap for our program.” Reach reporter Erik Erickson at [email protected].

Let me know at [email protected] UW focused as championships loom By Shane Lantz Contributing writer The Washington cross country teams will race for their postseason lives Friday morning when they run at the NCAA West Regional in Palo Alto, Calif. By placing well in this weekend’s meet, the No. 11 men’s team and the No. 15 women’s team can both punch their tickets to the NCAA championships next weekend in Terre Haute, Ind. Both teams will send eight runners to the meet. Senior Aaron Nelson leads the men’s team, which is trying to make it to the NCAAs for the first time since 2009. After running 8K races all season, the men will run their first 10K of the year Friday. The women will run their usual six kilometers, and will be led by junior Maddie Meyers, who finished fifth overall in the Pac12 championships. Nelson had a strong race as well at the Pac-12 championships Oct. 31, finishing 11th overall. While he’s confident in his team’s ability to place well at NCAAs, Nelson is not letting himself think too much about next week, and plans to keep his focus on the task at hand. “We all know this is a makeit-or-break-it meet,” Nelson said. “If you don’t make it here, then you’re not at the national meet. … At the same time, we know that as long as we don’t mess anything up, we are on route to qualify.” Junior Tyler King had his most impressive finish as a Husky at the Pac-12 meet, finishing 12th overall, right behind Nelson. In his third season, King is excited and hopeful about the team’s chances at making it to Terre Haute for the first time in five years. “There’s a little bit of a sense of urgency … but we’ve just got to do what we’ve been doing and we’ll be OK,” King said. “The most important thing is to make it to the show, and we’ve got the weapons to do it.” Along with Nelson and King, the UW will be sending freshman Fred Huxham, redshirt freshmen Johnathan Stevens, A.J. Yarnall, and Colby Gilbert, and juniors Izaic Yorksand Meron Simon to the meet. On the women’s side, five of the eight runners traveling to Palo Alto are underclassmen. Along with Meyers, sophomores Kaylee Flanagan and Jenna Sanders, juniors Eleanor Fulton and Erin Johnson, freshmen Anastasia Kosykh and Anna Maxwell, and redshirt freshman Kelly Lawson will make the trip. The women’s team has made it to the NCAA championships each of the past seven years, and after placing fourth at the Pac12 meet, the UW is confident it is prepared for postseason pressure. “It can be a little nervewracking,” Meyers said. “But we’re more excited than anything. This team is so young, we don’t really know how things are gonna go, but I think all the preparation we’ve gone through all year has really helped us.” The UW teams are preparing for a much larger field Friday. The regional meet is comprised of some of the top teams in the West, and more than 30 teams in all will compete. Though he hopes his teams Kaia D’Albora The Daily Junior Maddie Meyers has established herself as one of the Pac-12s best runners with a fifthplace finish at the Pac-12 meet two weeks ago. will be running next week in the championships, head coach Greg Metcalf is making sure his teams stay focused on the meet in Palo Alto. “This weekend is a means to an end for sure, and right now, the Regional Championships is the most important meet on our schedule,” Metcalf said. “Our goal is to go run well there, and hopefully punch our ticket and send two teams to the National Championships.” Reach contributing writer Shane Lantz at [email protected].
