rallies against
investment
in coal

in accordance with the state’s openmeetings law.
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

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

the groups they were disrupting the

meeting. 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.

Five-day forecast
Today
Saturday
By Julie Linn Contributing writer
When Western colonizers
conquered lands, they took
control of the narrative of the
conquered with their victories.
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

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

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.”

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.

mean that you should expect
the federal government to be on
the side of “progressive values.”
Independent state’s rights
have been critical for many
progressive movements, as it
allows different jurisdictions to
experiment with new legislation.
If I had to name the most
pressing issue to the health of
our democratic system, I would
point to the “Citizens United vs
FEC” Supreme Court decision of
2010. This has brought us Super

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.

Guest editorial policy
The Daily of the University of
Washington strives to present
a range of voices on issues
pertaining to our campus, not
just those of the members of our
staff. 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.

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

‘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.

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.

‘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.

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.

‘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.

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.

Winter Bock Lager

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

Summer of strength

Three to be (at)
three to see
Huskies hope offseason program pays dividends on and off court
By Daniel Rubens The Daily
By Daniel Rubens The Daily
1. 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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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,

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.”

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.

Conference title a long shot,
but Huskies determined to end strong
By Erik Erickson The Daily
With just one regular
season game remaining, the
Washington men’s soccer team
has started to think about the
postseason, where the Huskies
hope to build on their Elite Eight
run from a year ago.
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.”

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

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.”
