The student voice of the University of Arizona since 1899

Board seeking student regent By Tim McDonnell ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Calling all students: starting today, ASUA is accepting applications for the next student representative for the Arizona Board of Regents, the state’s governing body for higher education. Students interested in the unpaid, two-year position must have a thorough knowledge of the Arizona state legislative process and a strong desire to represent the interests of UA students, former student regent David Martinez said.

Martinez, who now works as a campus organizer for the Arizona Student Association, served as a regent from 2007 to 2009. The regent does not have a vote on the board during their first year, but does vote in the second year. Student regents have all the rights and responsibilities of other regents, Martinez said. Applications for the position can be obtained from the Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s Web site or office, said ASUA Excutive Vice President and selection committee chair Emily Fritze . Informational sessions about the position

will be held on Sept. 14 and Oct. 12 at times and locations to be decided later, Fritze said. The application deadline is Oct. 18. Fritze said she hopes to receive at least 40 applications, which her committee will narrow down to a group of three. Those three applicants will interview with the governor, who will make the final selection. The selection committee will comprise a total of eight representatives pulled from ASUA, the Graduate and Professional Student Council, ASA, faculty and other students, Fritze said.

The committee is looking for “someone who’s going to represent the school well and be an advocate for UA students,” Fritze said. The position was created in 1978, Martinez said, and provides a challenging opportunity for students to make an impact on the governing process. The position is important, he said, because it “gives a perspective that would otherwise not be seen at (the Arizona Board of Regents).” “(Student regents) advocate as fiercely as possible to ensure that our education is as affordable and accessible as possible,” he said.

Repair, reconcile, restore: student groups aim to end feud, communicate on campus issues By Lance Madden ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The best way to maintain a good relationship is through excellent communication. In what the Graduate and Professional Student Council President Dave Talenfeld has coined a “bridgification” phase, GPSC and Associated Students of the University of Arizona are using communication as their strongest point of entry into each other’s good graces. “The reason why communication is important is so that each organization understands what the other is doing on a consistent basis, so that we can exchange ideas, discuss things, and also so that we can support one another and

help each other out,” said ASUA President Chris Nagata, This move is not to remerge two organizations that were once one. Rather, it is to try to end a feud that has evolved over nearly two decades. Three graduate students, Carlos Rodriguez, Javier Duran and Stephanie Wickstrom started what was then called the Graduate Student Council, in 1991 after branching away from ASUA. Since then, there has been some animosity between the two groups. In 2005, former ASUA President Cade Bernsen dismissed the GPSC as nothing more than a club. Around the same time, then-GPSC President Elaine Ulrich told the Arizona

Daily Wildcat that ASUA “falsely claims” to represent all UA students. At the turn of the century, ex-ASUA President Ben Graff accused the GPSC of smearing his actions as the student body president and of “stabbing (ASUA) in the back.” Just last year GPSC pulled funds to send a bus full of students up to the state capitol because the GPSC president at the time, Stephen Bieda, wasn’t allowed to speak at the capitol alongside then-ASUA President Tommy Bruce, Talenfeld said. The way to become allies is to forget the history of the two groups, Nagata said. BRIDGE, page 7

TUCSON — The Oro Valley Police Department is being sued by a UA student over claims of reckless assault and detention as he headed to a football game last fall. The Aug. 11 suit that John Wisner filed in Pima County Superior Court states he was detained and shot with a Taser gun by Oro Valley police officer Bryan Wiggins. Oro Valley police declined to comment on the suit to The Associated Press or the Daily Wildcat. Wisner’s attorney, James Marner, did not return calls seeking comment. At the time of the Oct. 25 incident, Wiggins was off-duty from his Oro Valley job and working in uniform for the UA. Wisner is seeking an unspecified amount of compensation for allegedly suffering serious, permanent physical injuries, as well as mental anguish. — The Associated Press

Grijalva, panel address health care reform By Angel Allen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The first bilingual town hall meeting about health care reform had no raucous dissenters, but there were enough tears to move the audience into heartfelt cheering. Congressman Raul Grijalva was the main speaker at Saturday’s town hall meeting at Sunnyside High School in south Tucson. Grijalva presides over District 7, the district that includes the UA campus. A panel of health care providers and experts also spoke. The meeting was moderated by reporters Mary Rabago and Karla Gómez-Escamilla of Univision. The meeting, conducted in Spanish, was intended for a Hispanic population who otherwise may not hear the reform options being put forward in Congress. Translator earpieces were available for those who needed them. Grijalva spoke last of the panel. In his fourth term of Congress and with over 30 years of Arizona politics experience, Grijalva has vowed to vote only for a health care reform plan that includes a public option. Public investment is a necessary component of a successful health care plan, he said.

“When we as a nation spoke of the government bailing out the banks, or when we spoke of bailing out the auto industry, that wasn’t socialism,” he said. “But now when we speak of investing in a bright future for our children, that’s socialism. Right now, we are fighting political philosophies rather than fighting the reality we are facing.” Organizing for America, the group that hosted the meeting, is part of the Democratic National Committee and is currently focused on grassroots activism for health care reform, Jessica Jones, the Arizona director for the organization, said. The group’s goal, she said, is to “bring political agendas to people face-to-face on their porches, at their dinner tables, and in their communities.” Jones added that holding the forum in Spanish was important because “this legislation is going to affect everyone, no matter their language.” Chris Parent, a political science junior, is an intern this semester for Organizing for America, working particularly for the health care reform public option. The public option, he says, is designed to provide for the people who are shut-down by insurance companies for pre-existing

illnesses. An important part of the health care reform plans that Congressman Grijalva is supporting is the upgrade of technology in hospitals, Parent said. This upgrade will greatly reduce cost and prevent errors in service. One panelist was Josefina Ilturrade, a surviving breast and liver cancer patient who has been having trouble with her health insurance. She cried as she spoke of how difficult it is to provide for her children while battling both to stay alive and to pay the bills. Her ardent pleas for support of Grijalva’s efforts to implement a public option were met with loud clapping and cheering. Medical professionals were on hand to validate Ilturrade’s and others’ distress. College of Pharmacy clinical instructor and doctor of pharmacy Sandra Leal said that people now “have to make the choice between paying their bills and paying for their medications.” This should not be a choice they have to make, she said. “If children can choose what schools they go to, they should be able to choose what doctor they go to. It’s a human rights issue.” REFORM, page 14

There was a guy, with his wife in the front seat and two kids in the back of the car and I thought I saw something up on his dashboard, and when I looked closer I saw it was a puppy. Like, a living, breathing baby dog. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear that? That it should be in a seatbelt.

Cohen Band /MIAMI HERALD

But doesn’t it concern you that, not only is the puppy up there, but that he is playing with/petting a puppy when he’s operating a motor vehicle? Oh, well you didn’t tell me that he was playing with it. Yeah, he was up on the dashboard right by the steering wheel and the guy was kind of petting it and playing with him. Yeah, that’s a little dangerous.

Hialeah Gardens Mayor Yioset De La Cruz and Kids Wish Network granted the special wish to Soza, who has a brain tumor and only three to six months to live.

Woman pushes friend out of vehicle over loss of beloved dog

FAIRBANKS, Alaska — Police arrested a North Pole woman accused of shoving her friend out of a moving vehicle. According to a criminal complaint, 34-yearold Christina Louisa Martin and her friend had been drinking at a bar Tuesday night. When they returned to the car,

Yeah, but this puppy was on the dashboard. Not only is that distracting, it’s also dangerous. That’s true, his kids could die. What if he had a little puppy car seat? Instead of a little chihuahua bobble head he could have a puppy safety seat up on the dashboard, would you be OK with that? No. That’s distracting. I would be down with it if it was in his lap. I’ve driven with my dog in my lap before. Just as long as it’s off the dashboard and not in your vision, then I think that’s OK. — Brian Kimball

What’s your main concern there? Is it for the puppy’s safety or for the family that the guy is driving around? The family’s safety.That’s like driving and talking on the phone or texting.

What if it was a mean puppy, would you not be upset? Because this was a cute little weiner dog puppy. But what if it was as pit bull puppy or Rottweiler puppy? I feel like that would be fine. As long as it wasn’t huge, as long as it wasn’t a full-grown dog I think that it’s fine.

Fast Facts An adult crocodile can live two years without eating. Wood frogs freeze solid in winter and thaw back to life in spring. In its lifetime an alligator will go through as many as 3,000 teeth. The bite of a king cobra can kill a full-grown elephant in less than three hours. The Carthaginians fought off Roman ships in 300 B.C. by catapulting live snakes at them. All toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads.

The smallest known frog is the size of a dime. South Florida is the only place in the world where crocodiles and alligators coexist in the wild. The bullfrog is the only animal that never sleeps. An alligator has a brain the size of your thumb. If a frog keeps its mouth open too long, it will sufficate. If a chameleon loses a fight, it turns gray. If it wins, it turns green. Austrailia is the only continent where poisonous snakes outnumber nonpoisonous kinds.

NEW YORK — Tim Gunn is taking his fight against fashion crimes from the workrooms of “Project Runway” to the pages of a comic book. And, wow, does he get to wear a power suit. The“Loaded Gunn”story line — to save an exhibit of extraordinary superhero clothes from Tim Gunn a cadre of villains — is part of a book that reintroduces a group of Marvel’s high-fashion“Models Inc.”comic characters from the 1960s. “It’s a little‘America’s Next Top Model’— without Tyra (Banks) — and a little ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,’” says Marvel editor Charlie Beckerman. The Gunn project evolved on a whim, but it turned out Gunn was a childhood comic fan and a good sport, Beckerman says. Gunn says the experience has been“the most bizarre thing.” “It’s exciting and exhilarating, but bizarre. When they came to me, I said, ‘I’m about to turn 56 years old. Are they crazy?’ But it kept revealing itself in layers and next thing, I’m wearing the ‘Iron Man’ suit. I was dumbstruck.” Personally, Gunn says he always fancied himself more of a Batman type, but he’s pleased with the result. “Most superheroes are fighting the same thing — good vs. evil — but who’s taking on crimes against fashion? Me!” The biggest offense, hands down: clothes that don’t fit properly, Gunn says. And, if he had the truly incredible power to remove one item from closets all around the world, no question it would be Crocs. “It’s the No. 1 fashion crime item — and I see it a lot,” Gunn says. — The Associated Press

Bars police binge drinking By Michelle Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Binge drinkers beware: the bars are watching. Bars in Tucson, specifically those UA students frequent, have put plans for drunken patrons in place. One out of 10 binge drinkers drove home after leaving the bar last time he or she drank heavily, according to a study to be published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine . The study focused on binge drinkers, defined as men who have more than five drinks in a single night and women who have more than four drinks in a single night at least once a month. Of the 14,000 binge drinkers surveyed around 12 percent began driving within two hours of heavy drinking, The Associated Press reported. Those same drivers said they had left a bar or another licensed establishment before getting into the driver’s seat. While many states have laws regulating the amount of alcohol sold to patrons, it’s difficult for officials to enforce these laws because of the plethora of bars and the

limited number of officers. Bars in Tucson say they don’t need to be policed because they actively follow these rules. The most difficult part for bars is cutting people off, said Hillary Call the manager of the Auld Dubliner on the corner of University Boulevard and Euclid Avenue. “People don’t like to be cut off but we just stay calm,” Call said.“We don’t ever touch anyone or do anything like that, instead we offer them water and get them a taxi if that’s what we need to do.” Marketing senior Craig Yee said he remembers being thrown out of bar in Las Vegas after having too much to drink. Even there, he said, the experience was not so bad. “They were pretty nice about it,” he said. “They make sure you’re OK and then they escort you out.” The bartender is the first line of defense, remembering how much each person has been drinking and not getting him or her to the point of being inebriated and belligerent, said Jazer Santon, a bartender at Dirtbag’s located on the corner of Speedway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue.

“It’s our job to notice when they have been drinking too much,” Santon said. “So our main concern is to not get them to that point.” If they do become too drunk, then bars have strategies to cut them off effectively. “Once we cut them off, they have 30 minutes to leave the bar,” Santon said. “Then usually we walk them out and the fresh air really helps them.” The Auld Dubliner has doormen who will assist in walking out clientele who have drank too much after the bartender signals them, Call said. Dirtbag’s works with Yellow Cab and Discount Cab companies to offer incentives for intoxicated people to use cabs, Santon said. “We have cabs that wait outside and we have coupons for the cabs,” Santon said. “We have $2 and $3 off cab rides.” When someone who visits the bar is designated as a sober driver, bars usually supply him or her with free nonalcoholic drinks. “Usually when they’re in here they drink soda, so we give them that for free,” Santon said.“It’s a nice gesture of appreciation.”

Drunk drivers may pay fees for jail time THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TUCSON — More convicted drunk drivers could soon have to pay for their own jail stays if Pima County officials get their way. Officials at the Pima County Adult Detention Center recently met with judges and top prosecutors to remind them that drunk drivers can be ordered to reimburse counties for the cost of locking them up. That law has been on the books since 1997, but Pima County Superior Court Judge Jan Kearney says judges have not been consistently imposing the fees. “The sheriff requested we look at imposing those fees more often in view of the current financial situation,” Kearney said.

Pima County statistics show 876 people were convicted of drunk driving between January and June 2008. They spent a combined 16,595 days in jail, costing the county approximately $1.24 million. Kearney and Superior Court Judge Richard Fields said the chances of judges imposing the fees remains unlikely, for the same reason they haven’t been regularly imposed in the first place. Drunken driving is one of the most expensive crimes to commit in terms of the fines and fees required by state lawmakers and fighting at trial, Fields said. For example, felony drunken drivers are required to pay $1,500 to the state general fund and another $1,500 to the prison construction operating fund. In addition, they more than likely

have to pay restitution, lawyers, monthly probation fees and other fines. Defense attorney Joseph St. Louis said he was unaware that judges have not been asking those convicted of driving under the influence to reimburse the county, but he found the idea wholly unattractive. “When you have a superextreme DUI case, where someone has to go to jail for 45 days, you’re looking at $6,000 between the DUI costs and the jail costs,” St. Louis said. “Who can go to jail for 45 days and still have a job? By forcing them to pay for their jail stay too, you are guaranteeing someone will not be able to keep their home or support their family. At some point, enough is enough.”

No cause to change drinking laws

MAILBAG Argument for women’s sports ticket sales unfounded

I found the opinion piece in Friday’s paper “Wilma who?” so naive and devoid of any insight on the issue of gender and sports that I’m surprised it was printed. The pricing scheme of the basketball tickets is not some kind of conspiracy to repress women courtesy of Arizona Athletics, but rather a reflection of what they have calculated people will pay in order to watch our women’s basketball team. Raising the price may seem like a noble gesture in the name of equality, but all that would really do is cause attendance to drop even further. Our biased views in favor of the men’s basketball team are partially due to social constructs in regards to gender roles, but arguably more due to the fact that we have historically had an exceptional men’s basketball team. Our softball team, a women’s softball team, has a higher pricing tier for tickets than our men’s baseball team. If our softball program weren’t as strong as

it is, Arizona Athletics would not be able to charge those prices. A more disturbing trend in regards to female athletes is their representation in the media. Female athletes gain more notoriety based on their physical appearance than any level of athletic prowess. They are sexualized in magazines, ad campaigns and even newspaper coverage at a level far beyond male athletes. Take a moment to reflect on famous contemporary female athletes, and then think about the percentage that has done a spread for Maxim or Playboy. Worse still, studies have shown that female athletes that tend to be more androgynous in appearance do not receive as much press coverage as their more feminine counterparts regardless of how good they may be. One could write for days about sexism in athletics, but “Wilma who?” is a misguided exercise in blame. Scott Rising retailing & consumer sciences junior

merica has a lot of things going for it. Where the legal drinking age is concerned, however, its citizens have truly drawn the shortest straw (discounting the countries where drinking is illegal altogether). From the vast majority of places where one is able to purchase liquor from the age of 18, to those that have tried to make 19th birthdays special (I’m looking at you, Canada) as well as the many European countries where the legal drinking age is little more than a formality, Americans are largely alone in their inability to freely consume alcohol until they are out of their teens. This inability to purchase alcohol and devour it without fear of punishment is a complaint I hear with some regularity. And yet, as I flick through the Daily Wildcat, I am almost invariably met with at least one report every day of intoxication in the Police Beat, most commonly involving minors. After seeing “Supersize Me,” I understand that this is a country of extremes, but I nonetheless fail to understand how the police come across so many plastered teenagers. I hadn’t even heard of the term ‘MIP’ prior to my arrival in the States, illustrating how infrequently minors residing in other countries, by comparison, get themselves into situations where police intervention is required. Not only is alcohol being obtained illegally, it is also being consumed in quantities that are rendering its consumers completely incapacitated. This is not the way to encourage the government to lower the drinking age. It is not that Australians under the age of 21 (and many of us over the age of 21, I’m afraid) aren’t guilty of the rampant abuse of alcohol, but it certainly seems we make more of an effort to prevent our sneaky sips in prelegal age from getting us into trouble. I have heard far more stories of police involvement with underage drinking in the month I have been in this country than I did at any time during my teenage years in Australia. Regardless of the differing levels of excess, Australians have the good fortune of being able to drink from the age of 18 and thus are not in the position of having to convince our government that we can handle alcohol as well as the wiser souls a few years older than us. As anyone who has had to win their parents’ trust to be allowed to have their boyfriend over or attend unsupervised parties can attest, misbehaving is the least effective way to convince anyone that you should be granted more liberty. How have so many ap-

parently missed this lesson? The Amethyst Initiative was launched last year with the aim of lowering the drinking age and finding more effective ways to address Dunja the problem of binge Nedic drinking among young people. To date, 135 college columnist presidents have pledged support to the campaign, and yet there has still been no view of reform. Many other groups, such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the American Medical Association, have expressed concerns that lowering the drinking age would only serve to better facilitate the behavior under-21s are currently engaging in. And given the apparent inability of many under-agers to enjoy alcohol responsibly, why wouldn’t they be concerned? Why wouldn’t they think that enabling unlimited access to alcohol from the age of 18 would only increase the number of teenagers consuming it irresponsibly? Ultimately, I am on the side of the many of you who think the current drinking age is ridiculously high. I do sympathize; there were many occasions during my visit to the United States a couple of years ago where I had to miss out on things because I wasn’t conceived until 1987. But it’s also easy to see how the ready misuse of alcohol that occurs here does not provide a compelling reason as to why the privilege of drinking should be allowed at a younger age. No one in a position of power is likely to listen to the cries of adolescents that they’re old enough to handle this responsibility when they regularly drink to the point of paralysis. Your best chance to bring about change is to learn when to stop. In case the point at which you should stop is unclear to some of you, it should be before you pass out or have sex with someone you would never ordinarily talk to, whichever happens first. While they wait, under-agers can take comfort in the fact that they are not alone. Under 21s are likewise not allowed to drink in Fiji, Indonesia, Micronesia, Palau, the Solomon Islands and Sri Lanka, according to the International Center for Alcohol Policies. If this provides little consolation, know your limits and drink responsibly. Your plight might harness the attention of those who can create change, and not spending each Sunday morning in the fetal position beside your toilet, intermittently throwing up, is also a lot more enjoyable. The rewards are endless. — Dunja Nedic is an Australian exchange student. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Teaching kids not to listen? Rachel Leavitt columnist

resident Barack Obama’s attempt to encourage students to take their education seriously has resulted in accusations of propaganda, indoctrination and a sly attempt to endorse his “socialist” agenda. Today at noon (EDT), Obama will be making a speech at a Virginia high school which will be broadcast across America to any school district that chooses to listen. This is not the first time a president has addressed school children in a nationally broadcast speech. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan made a speech, broadcast nationwide, addressing the nation’s students. In 1991, President George Bush followed suit, this time addressing school children nationally from a Washington high school. Yet, Obama’s attempt has been met with fiery opposition — a fire started and stoked by the conservative media. The president’s visit was announced weeks ago, but it was only on Wednesday morning, when right-wing sites and talk show hosts began berating the visit, that the fervent resistance ensued. Mark Steyn, a political commentator and Canadian author, compared Obama to Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong-il on the Rush Limbaugh show on Wednesday, according to The New York Times. Chris Stigall, the host of radio’s KCMO Morning Show, said, “I wouldn’t let my nextdoor neighbor talk to my kid alone; I’m sure as hell not letting Barack Obama talk to him alone.” According to The Wall Street Journal, 21st century technology may be partially to blame for the furor surrounding Obama’s visit. With talk shows and virtually infinite blog opportunities online, protestors’ outcries are easily heard and extremely accessible. But poor wording is at fault as well. Originally Obama intended on suggesting to students to write letters to themselves about

ways the students could “help the president.” A few misunderstandings and exaggerations later, some conservatives decided that such an assignment was an attempt to make their children political — God forbid. With their complaints in mind, the suggestion was altered to encouraging them to write letters to themselves on how to “achieve their short-term and long-term education goals.” Despite the revision, there continues to be controversy across the nation, including Arizona. According to The Arizona Republic, school districts across the state have been ambushed with distressed and passionate calls in opposition as well as in support of the broadcast. According to The Arizona Republic, Arizona’s largest district, Mesa Public Schools is allowing parents to excuse their children from school if they contact the school first. Many districts in Arizona will be following Mesa’s example. In the Scottsdale Unified School District, students were sent home with opt-out forms so that parents could decide what they felt was appropriate. Tempe School District, on the

other hand, requires that all students watch the speech with no choice of opt-out forms. Meanwhile, Prescott Unified School District will not have any students watch the broadcast. Though the Obama administration insists that watching the speech is merely voluntary, the question remains whether

the lesson being taught by parents excusing their children from school is really an acceptable one. With each opt-out form turned in, one student is learning that they don’t need to understand and listen to opinions they don’t agree with — or their parents don’t agree with. They are not learning to listen to others and form their own informed opinions. Sadly, this shines some light on the issues with which this country relentlessly struggles. Debates about health care reform and the war on terrorism rage on, bereft of solutions because people on each side of the issue refuse to listen. One can’t learn or expect to be heard if they don’t listen. According to The Wall Street Journal, a generally conservative paper, some conservatives worry that the tumult initiated by fellow right-wingers over Obama’s school visit may discredit their efforts in other, perhaps more pertinent, topics. Frank Luntz, a one-time strategist for Republican candidates, suggests that people should try to relax. Luntz says that conservative critics should “pick (their) battles,” or “at some point the public will stop listening.” It is pretty absurd that people feel the need to tell their children they shouldn’t listen to the democratically elected person in charge of the country. Perhaps they should learn to control their misplaced anger and teach themselves, as well as their children, that listening, no matter what side the speaker is on, can only be of benefit in shaping a more informed opinion. — Rachel Leavitt is a creative writing junior.

Democrats say fervor still around, less apparent By Will Ferguson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Almost a year after the presidential elections, the Democratic fervor that recently permeated the UA campus is not as apparent as it once was. But appearances aside, young Democrats at the UA and in the community have redirected their energy and continue to support the Democratic agenda on a large scale, according to local organizers. Brittni Storrs, president of the UA chapter of Young Democrats, said that now, more than ever, Democratic students are needed to raise awareness on political issues at the local and national level. “We are trying to get students to wake up and realize that their vote can have a huge impact on the local community and state,” said Storrs. Without a major state or national election to focus on, Storrs said that registering voters for the upcoming Tucson City Council Elections on Nov. 3 is the first item on the agenda for the UA Young Democrats this fall.

While many students are unaware of the City Council’s agenda, Storrs said the upcoming elections will have an impact on the UA and its students. “We are all part of this community,” she said.“The city government is responsible for maintaining our roads, revitalizing the downtown and keeping our city green.” The UA Young Democrats are partnering with the Pima County Young Democrats to organize a phone drive to inform voters of the upcoming election and its Democratic candidates. The terms of Democratic council members Nina Trasoff of Ward Six, Karin Uhlich of Ward Three and Steve Leal of Ward Five, all expire this December and all three council members are up for re-election. Pat Burns, the President of Pima CountyYoung Democrats and campaign manager for Trasoff, said that Pima CountyYoung Democrats are playing a critical role in reinstating the incumbent Democrats. “We have around 200 members who are active in going door to door and calling Democrats to make sure

they register to vote,”said Burns. Aside from city politics, the Pima County Young Democrats and the Young Democrats of Arizona are working with Organizing for America, the volunteer branch of the Democratic National Committee. Previously known as Obama for America, Organizing for America started out as a grassroots campaign to elect Barack Obama to office. After the election, it changed its focus to promoting the President’s agenda state by state. The Arizona arm of Organizing for America is currently promoting health care and state education reform through a series of community events and forums. Kenneth Jacobs, a field organizer for the Organizing for America, said that hosting community events that educate the public about political issues is a primary goal for the OFA. On Sept. 5, the Organizing for America hosted a forum on health insurance reform at Sunnyside High School in Tucson. Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva, along with a pharmacist, a public health professor and a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy, addressed a packed auditorium about the benefits of a national healthcare system. “Most young Americans aren’t aware or don’t realize how expensive health care really is,” said Jacobs. “Events like these help to inform voters of the importance of getting health reforms done now.” The UA Young Democrats are working with Organizing for Americaby informing young voters about the merits of being politically active.“Right now we are increasing our membership and contacting voters,” said Storrs. “Young voters pay more attention when someone their own age tells them the facts.” With state elections on the 2010 horizon, Organizing for America is focusing on educating potential voters on the democratic agenda.“At the state level, education cuts have been huge and substantial,” said Burns. “Instead of making cuts we need to look at reforming the tax system so we bring in more revenue.”

Walk and talk with Q A Dean Martin

By Hank Stephenson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

As the economy crumbles, the man with his eye on the state funds, Arizona State Treasurer Dean Martin, believes the worst may soon be behind us. Despite losing his wife of 13 years while she was giving birth to their son, who passed away days later, and despite being the treasurer of a state smashed to economic bits by the real estate bubble, Martin remains optimistic. In his address to the League of Arizona Cities and Towns at the Hilton El Conquistador Hotel last Thursday, his PowerPoint slideshow poked fun at the economic rollercoaster our state and country has been riding and explained the numbers that matter. Dean The Arizona Daily Wildcat got AZ State a few minutes to walk and talk about the future of the state with the numbers guru who served for six years as a Republican state senator before being elected to the office of state treasurer and, if the rumors circulating the blogs and papers are true, may make a bid for the governor’s office in 2010. Here are some excerpts from the conversation: Daily Wildcat: What do you see for the near future for Arizona’s university students? Dean Martin: You’re going to have continued pressure from student loans. Student loans are going to continue to be difficult because of the problems in the financial market. Because of the credit freeze, it’s hard to get capital for those lending. That will be improving over the next couple of years but it’s going to be slow. It won’t be as bad, I think, this year was the worst year for student loans. What about state funding for the universities? It’s such a big hole right now, I don’t see anything different coming out of it. They’ve got three years worth of problems that they have to deal with. The economy is going to start recovering next year, but it’s going to be slow. It’s going to take three to four years to fully dig our way out of it. So it’s going to be a while before you start seeing increases to funding outside of the normal. And even then, that may not happen. What do you think is the best thing the state can do to turn our budget situation around? Rip the band-aid off quickly. We know we

have to get spending in line with revenue. We know we can’t spend more than we make. Everything that they’re doing is just prolonging the inevitable. The math doesn’t go away, the math doesn’t change, the math only gets worse the more you ignore it. It’s the best thing you can do for everybody, every agency, and it’s fix it now so they can start going forward. The longer they wait, the worse it’s going to get. Every day that goes by you’re spending money that’s going to result in more cuts later. There’s no new revenues coming in. (The governor’s) tax proposal isn’t getting bigger the longer you wait. The revenues are the same and everyday you wait it’s more expensive. What budget would you vote for if you were still a senator? Martin The key thing is we need a Treasurer balanced budget.You can’t spend more than you make, it’s very simple, we need a balanced budget. Getting into all the budget discussions, that’s a whole other hour-long discussion. Have you seen any budgets that would actually be a balanced budget? The one (Gov. Brewer) has on her desk is the closest thing we’ve got right now, based on the time and effort. There’s no such thing as a perfect budget, but we need something. We need these things in place and what we’ve been getting is piecemeal and so as much as I don’t like what’s happened and where we are, we’ve got to get done with 2010 so we can start on 2011. It’s kind of funny, we don’t have a 2010 budget but on Monday, the first, all agencies had to turn in their 2011 budget. So you’re turning in your 2011 budget when you don’t even know what your 2010 budget going to be. That’s part of the problem, we need 2010 done now. Are you going to put in a bid for governor? (Laughs) No. (Laughs) (Lady standing close by: “I hope I can campaign for you soon.”) Is that a real no? Um, I haven’t made any decisions. I mean, right now the plan is to run for reelection, but as you see, lots of people have been asking me for six months or more. And so I’ve been saying, ‘No no no, I have too much to do.’ But now I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ll think about it.’ But no more than that, I haven’t made any decisions.

Residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thumb injured in dorm scuffle

University of Arizona Police Department officers went to the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall Sept. 2 at 1:30 a.m. in reference to an assault. Officers met a man in the lobby who told them that several minutes earlier, he had been assaulted by an unknown man. According to the victim, he and his friends had entered ArizonaSonora using their CatCards but were followed into the building by several unknown men. The victim and his friends became suspicious and confronted the group. According to the victim, one person replied â&#x20AC;&#x153;f--k youâ&#x20AC;? and the group continued toward a stairwell. One of the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends made another comment and the same person again replied â&#x20AC;&#x153;f-k you.â&#x20AC;? The subject then came down the stairwell toward the victim and pushed him. The victim struck a wall and then fell to the ground, injuring his thumb as a result. According to police, the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thumb was swollen and was beginning to discolor. Police and Residence Life officials viewed security camera video footage of the area where the attack occurred and were able to identify the attacker as a resident of the hall. Police located the suspect and the victim was able to identify him as the individual who attacked him. The suspect was cited by police on charges of assault with minor injury and was released at the scene. UAPD has no further information regarding the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury.

Sleeping man booted from front of UA building

Just prior to 7:45 a.m. on Sept. 2, UAPD responded to the University Services building, 888 N. Euclid Ave., in response to an unidentified individual asleep in front of the building. Officers made contact with the individual, whom they recognized from previous encounters. The man had no identification on his person, but gave police a name. A records check of the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name revealed that a valid exclusionary order for trespassing on university property had been issued and had subsequently been violated twice already. Police placed the man into custody and transported him to Pima County Jail where he was booked on charges of criminal trespassing and interfering with an educational institution.

Failure to wear, failure to appear

UAPD observed a motorcycle rider failing to use eye protection heading westbound on Speedway Boulevard just before 10:08 a.m. on Sept. 2. Officers stopped the biker at Speedway Boulevard and Mountain Avenue. A records check of the rider indicated that the man had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear issued by Pima Community College Police. UAPD confirmed the warrant and placed the subject in custody. The man was transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked. UAPD also cited the man on charges of failure to wear eye protection while operating a motorcycle.

Sorority womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2122;stang suffers larceny

UAPD responded to a larceny report at the Gamma Phi Beta house, 1535 E. First St., on Sept. 2 at 12:31 p.m. Officers made contact with a woman who wanted to report her license plate as stolen. According to the woman, sometime between Aug. 24 at 9 p.m. and Aug. 28 at 8:30 p.m. the California-issued license plate was removed from her 1994 Ford Mustang. The woman also told police that the reason it took her so long to report the incident was because she just put it off. According to police, the woman declined to be involved in any future criminal proceedings regarding this matter.

Police aide finds two men skateboarding in campus garage

UAPD responded to an assistance call from a police aide Sept. 2 at 10:45 p.m. at the Sixth Street Parking Garage, in reference to two men skateboarding in the parking facility. According to the police aide, the men were being contacted for skateboarding though the garage. However, during questioning the aide noticed the odor of marijuana coming from one man, who was later identified as a UA student. According to police, the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes appeared bloodshot and a strong odor of marijuana could be smelled coming from him. Police asked the man if he had any marijuana in his possession. The man pulled out an orange container with a cork stopper, which he called his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nugg Mug.â&#x20AC;? The man told police that his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nugg Mugâ&#x20AC;? had been mailed to him from California and that he and some unidentified men had used its contents earlier that day. Police took the container into evidence and warned the man about the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skateboarding policy. UAPD diverted the incident to the Dean of Students office.

A Discount Cab patrols Fourth Avenue on Saturday, Sept. 5. Discount Cab now allows customers to request a cab by texting instead of calling.

Need a cab? Just send a text.

By Marissa Freirich ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Why call when you can text? One cab company is embracing this idea by allowing customers to text their request for a ride. Discount Cab launched the new texting service in Phoenix on Aug. 28 and in Tucson Sept. 3, according to Mark Marjancik, the manager of Discount Cab in Tucson. Discount Cab marketing coordinator Karol Clark said that among 6,000 requests for cabs last weekend in Tucson and Phoenix, 43 were sent via text. Clark called this“a pretty good start.” To request a cab, customers text the pickup address including apartment number, city and state, or zip code, to 777222 or 777CAB. Discount Cab’s rates do not change because of this new service, but standard text messaging rates do apply, Marjancik said. Discount Cab uses a separate company, GoFastCab, to provide the texting service to its customers. Besides Phoenix and Tucson, GoFastCab operates through various cab companies in San Diego, Los Angeles,

Orange County, San Jose, Chicago, Nashville and Charlotte, according to the company’s Web site. If a customer enters an address incorrectly, they will receive a text asking for more specific information. Once the servers at GoFastCab verify the address, the company will send the information to Discount Cab to dispatch the request. The customer will also receive a text with a confirmation number, according to Marjancik. “The quickest part is you don’t have to wait for a human being on the phone,” he said. Customers can also text the words “status” to determine the position of their request, “cancel” to end their request or “help” for assistance. The option to contact Discount Cab by phone is still available. “It’s just another form of communication,” Marjancik said. The Tucson nightlife scene seemed receptive to the new technology. Carlos Valenzuela, a bouncer at North on 4th, 536 N 4th Ave., said he thought the texting service would be useful if it worked

and if people knew about it. “It would all depend on how fast they got here,” he said. Valenzuela said it usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes for a cab to arrive after calling. Lauren Kelly had never heard of Discount Cab’s texting service, but said she thought it was a good idea as she walked in front of O’Malley’s on Fourth Avenue. Although she said they rarely need to take cabs home, she said they would consider using the texting service. “If you’re in a bar, it’s really loud. You have to leave (to call a cab), and sometimes there’s a long line to get back in,” said Kelly. She added that texting would prevent people from having to use minutes on their cell phones. Because the service is so new, it will be difficult to determine which customers will be most likely to use it, Marjancik said. “I think the regulars are going to use it a lot,” he said.“People who like to go out and have a good time but know better than to drive.”

“I think so much emphasis is placed on all the tension and all of the conflict that the two organizations have had in the past, and I think we really need to put that behind us,” Nagata said. “We need to work together and we really need to play off of each organization’s strengths.” In an effort to end its historic feud, each organization has recently appointed liaisons to attend each other’s weekly meetings. “We’re trying to get ASUA to be more transparent and be more accountable for their actions, and we’re also trying to be more transparent, so it doesn’t look like anyone is trying to hide anything from anyone,” said GPSC representative Lucy Blaney, who serves as the group’s liaison. Blaney attended ASUA’s senate meeting last Wednesday, when ASUA voted to put its budget online. In the past, a public records request had to be submitted to view the budget. GPSC’s budget is also going to be put online, Blaney said. “Everyone is showing their cards,” she said. One way GPSC showed support toward ASUA is by promising to contribute a nominal sum to ASUA to help fund certain graduate programs on campus, Talenfeld said, though he

didn’t want to say how much. “There is a historical amount that has been contributed, and I’d like to see that amount at the very least maintained, if not increased,” Talenfeld said. Talenfeld and Nagata sometimes play pool together to discuss ways to replace former feelings between ASUA and GPSC with new ways to create a new bond. “The fact that we’re able to have a personal relationship with each other definitely makes working with each other professionally that much easier,” Nagata said. Adding ASUA involvement to GPSC’s student showcase, working on blood drives together and possibly hosting a joint event for a charitable cause are all ideas the two presidents have discussed, Talenfeld said. There are some issues that the two groups share, Blaney said, and any kind of animosity between them is counterproductive. “My mission in this is to establish some amount of trust,” Blaney said. “We don’t have to be best friends, and we can definitely disagree on policy issues. That’s the whole point of student government. But if we don’t collaborate and talk to each other at all, I think we’re doing our constituents a disservice.”

Central Michigan 6, Arizona 19 Football Notes

Game Analysis

Scott No controversy doesn’t with UA dazzle Quarterbacks By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Arizona football program has a lot to be proud of after Saturday’s 19-6 win against Central Michigan University. The Wildcats beat a formidable opponent with a firsttime quarterback in Matt Scott and the defense shut down a potent Chippewa offense. Let’s take a look at some of the overriding themes from the game.

Scott took every snap against CMU, Foles OK with not seeing game action By Brian Kimball ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT On the Arizona football team’s pregame depth chart for its tilt against Central Michigan University during Saturday night’s season opener at Arizona Stadium, it officially listed Matt Scott OR Nick Foles as the Wildcats’ starter. Once the game kicked off, it was obvious Scott was Arizona’s No. 1 guy, especially considering Foles wasn’t on the field for a single snap against the Chippewas. But that wasn’t the way Arizona coaches envisioned the game playing out. “I think the way the game played

out Saturday, we felt like we were trying to get into a rhythm offensively and never really did. I think we felt like we needed to get Matt (Scott) more reps to be able to get into that rhythm and let him get settled down a little bit,” said UA offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes . “We knew he was capable of playing better than he did in the first half, and when you’re trying to build confidence in your quarterback, you hate to have a quick trigger finger and pull a guy out and put somebody else in.” Dykes said they let the two signal callers know of their intentions about 10 days before

the Sept. 5 game against Central Michigan. And even though Scott was labeled as the first option, that didn’t alter either player’s demeanor. Scott didn’t think it was his job and Foles knew he still had a shot to become the starting quarterback, Dykes said. Each player continued to work hard after the unofficial announcement, and that proved that each player is capable of leading and winning games. “You can’t take things lightly. Even though I got the (starting) spot I’ve still got to work hard,” Scott said after a Monday evening practice. “Nick Foles is a great

quarterback, he’s right behind me and he can come up and take the spot any day. I can’t take anything for granted, you’ve just got to go out and work as hard as you can everyday.” And the Wildcat coaching staff took notice of the quarterback’s poise as well. “The last thing you ever want to do to a player is tell him something and not do it, but the great thing about Nick (Foles) and the great thing about Matt (Scott) is that both guys have been fabulous through this,” Dykes said.

The sophomore went through more ups and downs than the team would like to see from its starting quarterback, but that’s to be expected in his first start. While Scott wasn’t necessarily good, he certainly wasn’t bad. “Matt played pretty well,” said Arizona head coach Mike Stoops. “You saw some youthful mistakes, but the game speed was so different and that’s where I think he rushed some throws. He’ll get used to that, all players have to get used to game situations.” Scott finished the game 19-for-30 for 202 yards and showed his athleticism, rushing for 83 yards on nine carries. Arizona coaches curbed the playbook to help Scott feel more comfortable, favoring screens and short timing routes over deep drop back passes. The numbers look good, but considering how many potential big plays he left on the field, they are merely a shell of what they could have been. Signs that Scott is still raw were

Arizona wins despite errors By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

No. 25 Arizona volleyball has started off the season with six straight wins — an accomplishment that most head coaches would celebrate. But for head coach Dave Rubio, it’s not merely about winning. It’s how they win. Coming off three victories last weekend in Louisville, Ky., Arizona hosted the Wildcat Classic for its first home matches of the season. Although the fans at McKale Center saw a Wildcat victory in each of their matches, the level of play certainly wasn’t up to par. “It was a disappointing weekend for us in general,” Rubio said after Arizona’s matches were completed. “Even though we came away with three wins, I really felt like in a sense we have a lot of things to work on.” Despite their sloppy play, the Wildcats nearly swept the weekend, losing just one game to Eastern Washington University on Saturday. Their low energy and mental errors were apparent as the Wildcats let teams claw their way back into matches.

n sports, the best athletes are usually going to produce. But superstars do not win championships. The Robert Horry’s, David Tyree’s and John Paxson’s of the world are the wildcards who elevate a team to championship prowess. Sophomore Philip “Bags” Bagdade certainly fits that bill for the UA men’s golf squad. “He played a few tournaments (this summer) but didn’t have too much success, so he’s kind of the question mark right now,” said head coach Rick LaRose. “If Philip can step up and play to his potential, I think we’re going to be pretty good, so he is the key right now.” The Wildcats have plenty of talent at the top of the lineup, but if the team’s stars falter, another golfer needs to pick up the slack. Arizona hopes that Bagdade can be that guy for the Wildcats this season. Bagdade, a native of Eugene, Ore., was all over the map during his freshman campaign with the Wildcats. He had trouble acclimating himself to the college life early on, but according to assistant coach Andy Barnes , he has showed more progress than any other golfer down the stretch, evidenced by a 73.31 stroke average in his last five events . “Philip was obviously a big surprise for us (last season),” Barnes said. “He struggled a lot the first few weeks of school but kind of turned into a bright spot for us. He still has a lot to learn, but he developed at a quicker pace than the

other freshmen and even some of the upperclassmen from last year.” With a void at the number four and five spots of the starting lineup, Bagdade has the talent and opportunity to solidify himself as a collegiate golf stud, but it is his inconsistency that has been holding him back. “You just don’t know what you’re going to get out of him,” Barnes said.

Soccer earns first win of the season Cuellar returns, helps Wildcats to a 2-0, first-half lead against Monarchs of Old Dominion By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After five attempts, the Arizona soccer team, led by sophomore Renae Cuellar’s two goals, finally notched its first victory of the season in a 2-1 victory over Old Dominion University on Sunday. Despite the victory, the Wildcats (1-3-1) remained inconsistent, which has been the case in their first five games of the season.

Arizona head coach Dan Tobias said he would like to see his team take advantage when opponents appear rattled because of their scoring chances or possession. “When we were up 2-0 in Sunday’s game, I would have liked to see us get that third goal to be more in charge of the game,” Tobias said. “The next step for us is to recognize when our opponents are struggling and take advantage.”

Despite the Wildcats early 2-0 lead, the lack of their killer instinct was evident as the Monarchs were allowed to score in the 50th minute. Arizona focused on holding off the Monarchs for the final stretch of the game. Having Cuellar back for the weekend after sitting out the team’s last home game against the University of San Diego helped the team tremendously. She scored both of her goals the first half, one in the 11th minute and the

games in the win column can move them in the positive direction for the rest of the season. “When you’re doing things but you’re not getting the results, it’s hard to have confidence,” Tobias said. “Sunday’s game was good for our morale and is a good springboard going into Friday.” The Wildcats will take on Brown University on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Murphey Stadium.

other in the 23rd minute. “She’s a finisher, she was actually disappointed that she didn’t get the hat trick,” Tobias said. “She’s really good and continues to get better in and around the box. “She has the potential to lead the conference and goals but she would be the first to tell you that her teammates setting her up play a big role in a lot of her goals,” he added. The Wildcats hope that getting more

Rubio disappointed in team’s effort and focus

after Arizona slipped by the Cougars. The Wildcats had 19 service errors over the weekend, and at times missed assignments on defense. On the attacking end, they had 45 errors throughout the tournament and often had to rally to get back into matches. Arizona’s biggest struggle came in its match against the Eastern Washington Eagles. As a team, their hitting percent was just .210. After defeating the Eagles in their first two sets, the Wildcats fell 25-13. “I think that we’re all disappointed in our level of play throughout the weekend as a whole,” junior setter Paige Weber said after Arizona’s match against the Eagles. “I think we wish we

could have performed the way that we’re capable of — the standard that we set for ourselves.” The general lack of focus that Arizona displayed certainly was a step back after their performance against competitive NCAA teams in their first three games. To avoid the up and down tidal waves that plagued the Wildcats last season, a consistent level of play needs to be reached. Although the Wildcats have some work to do before their next match, they do not have a lot of time. They face Santa Clara on Thursday before facing Utah on Friday in the Santa Clara Tournament. “We determine our own destiny,”said Rubio.“We have to be accountable for how we show up.”

The Arizona men’s tennis team resumed its practice schedule last week, and though the true stakes lie in the spring, anticipation for the individual competition in the fall season is running high. “Our guys are all fired up and ready to go for another season,” said Tad Berkowitz, head coach and Pacific 10 Conference Coach of the Year. Following the Wildcats’ breakout 2009 spring season, players and coach alike acknowledge that the ante has been upped. “It’s a situation now where we’ve proven to ourselves that we’re a pretty good team, and we could do some good things nationally as well as in the Pac-10,” Berkowitz said. “Now the bar’s been raised, and we’re trying to make a push to take it to the next level now. “The good thing about that is that I believe in the guys and I believe they could take a step forward on the national scene, but more importantly, the guys believe it themselves,” he added. “It’ll be an exciting year for us.” Senior Ravid Hazi spoke of a more cohesive team that will have benefitted from both the retention of its core players and the addition of valuable new freshmen. “Obviously, there are more expectations for us,” he said. “We definitely feel confident and have bonded … even the freshmen are finding it easier to come to a good, strong team. The best thing is our coaches trust us. … We all know the expectation is that we should do even better because we are basically the same team, just with new freshmen.”

Junior Jay Goldman said a great deal of the differences between this season and last is the way Arizona will be viewed by opponents. “We beat a lot of good teams, and we have the same team coming back, so how we’re perceived this year is different since we had success and have an even better team this year,” he said.“I think it’s a different type of pressure … it’s the most excitement I’ve seen since I’ve been here. It’s going to be a great year.” Berkowitz also addressed the loss of the Wildcats’“underdog” status in the Pac-10. “We’ll be the hunted as opposed to the hunter,” he said. Hazi said while public opinion of the Wildcats may have changed in light of recent success, the team’s confidence in its abilities was there all along. “I think the only difference is we always knew we are good players, a good team, but now we actually showed it,” he said.“We know that the Pac-10 teams know now that UofA is strong. They will be a lot more alert now when they play us.” While conceding to a higher level of confidence, Berkowitz cautioned against deviating too far from the mindset that worked so well for the team the previous season. “I think the one thing our guys need to remember is how we got where we are right now,” he said. “The guys play with that bluecollar mentality, with that never-give-up, never-say-die mentality. We’re a team where we need to continue to fight for everything we have, and that doesn’t change. Even though we’re ranked a little higher now, we need to keep that same mentality.”

Harris lifts Miami over FSU in wild one, 38-34 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Ailing arm and all, Jacory Harris put on a show Monday night that Miami won’t soon forget. And the Hurricanes defense came up huge when it mattered most. The sophomore quarterback threw for 386 yards — including a 40-yard pass over double coverage to Travis Benjamin, setting up Graig Cooper’s 3-yard touchdown run with 1:53 left — and led the Hurricanes past No. 18 Florida State 38-34 in a wild, backand-forth game on Monday night. Florida State got to the Miami 2 yard line with 14 seconds left. But Christian Ponder threw three straight incompletions, the last coming on a ball that Jarmon Fortson nearly caught in the end zone on the game’s final play, and Miami escaped. Harris completed 21 of 34 passes for two touchdowns and two interceptions. He got hurt on the second of those turnovers; Harris was drilled by blitzing cornerback Greg Reid and his throw on that play resulted in nothing more than a pop fly that Markus White ran back 31 yards for a 31-24 Florida State lead with 11:45 remaining. Harris walked to the sideline, holding his right arm tightly to his chest. He was fine. Better than fine, actually. “It was just a bad funny-bone incident,” Harris said.“My whole arm went numb. I had

to fight through. I had to help this team win.” He did. Harris connected with Cooper for a 24yard score to tie the game at 31, and after Florida State took the lead again on Dustin Hopkins’ 45-yard field goal with 4:11 left, the ‘Canes went back to work. They went 59 yards in six plays, Harris’ perfect lob to Benjamin accounting for most of them, and Cooper plowed in for the go-ahead score. “This kid,” said Miami running back Javarris James, speaking of the sophomore quarterback,“he’s real poised.” Ponder was, too. Ponder, who ran for 144 yards against Miami last year, went 30 yards on a draw play to get deep into Hurricanes territory with one minute left. When Brandon Harris was flagged for pass interference, Florida State had 14 seconds to go 2 yards and win the game. First down, Harris tipped the ball away from Fortson. Second down, Ponder’s pass for Fortson sailed high. Third down, Fortson got his hands on the ball as he hit the ground — and it squirted away. After review, Miami could celebrate. “I was just thinking my team fought through this so long and so hard. All the preparation and it came down to this,” Jacory Harris said of watching the final series from the sideline.“Our defense, I know they

was going to pull through at the end.” Ponder completed 24 of 41 passes for a career-best 294 yards and two second-half touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to keep Florida State (0-1, 0-1) from losing for the fourth time in Miami’s last five trips to the state capital. “You have to cast it aside and look at the errors we made,” Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said. “If we don’t correct ‘em, we’ll lose another one the same way.” Miami outgained Florida State 476-404. “A heck of a television game,” Bowden said. Offensive coordinator Mark Whipple’s new schemes were an instant hit with the most important Miami fan: university president Donna Shalala, who beamed after Miami rolled up 229 yards on its 29 first-half plays, a 7.9 average. “What’s not to enjoy?” Shalala said when Miami was leading 14-10. “We’ve got an offense.” So did Florida State. The Seminoles scored the first 13 points of the second half, with Ponder running in from 9 yards out to put Florida State back on top on the first drive following intermission — aided by, of all things, a 15-yard late hit penalty on the kickoff by Miami kicker Matt Bosher — then throwing to Taiwan Easterling for a 21-yard score for a 23-14 edge with 4:57 left in the third.

Ramirez homers, gets tossed in Dodgers’ 7-2 win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — Manny Ramirez showed off a faux trophy ball in the Los Angeles Dodgers clubhouse Monday, then signed it. “This is the ball I was thrown off the game on,” he said with a smile. Like the Dodgers, Ramirez could laugh about it after a 7-2 victory over Arizona. Ramirez hit his 17th home run in the second inning but was ejected by home plate Doug Eddings in the third after striking out. Ramirez struck on three pitches, the first two called strikes — the second pitch appeared to be inside. After swinging and missing to end the inning, he flung his bat and helmet near the plate. “I told him I thought it was a ball,” Ramirez said.“Then I threw my helmet, and he threw me out. It’s OK. He’s human. He’s not a machine.”

Chris Young homered again — he hit three Sunday in a loss at Colorado — as Arizona dropped its fifth straight game. Ramirez and James Loney hit backto-back homers off Max Scherzer in a three-run the second inning and Ronnie Belliard had a solo homer in the fourth to back Vicente Padilla, who is 2-0 in his three starts since joining the Dodgers’ starting rotation Aug. 27. Ramirez was tossed for the second time this season and sixth of his career. “I think it was just too quick a trigger,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. “You can fine somebody for throwing equipment, and you can throw them out. I asked (Eddings) if he cursed him, and he said no. I just wish more umpires, and he’s a good umpire, he works hard, when they see an impending problem, would just turn around and walk away. “This game is a passionate game. It’s something that needs to be taken

into consideration, and I don’t think they take it into consideration enough. I’m not saying the umpire should take abuse. But I think they should do what they can to keep from having to do what they did today,” he said. Late-season acquisitions Belliard and Padilla continue to provide contributions for the NL West-leading Dodgers. Belliard, acquired from Washington on Aug. 30, had three hits and two RBIs, finishing a triple short of the cycle. He is 10 for 26 since joining the Dodgers with two homers and six RBIs. “When you get traded from a team that is going nowhere to a team that is in a pennant race, hey, you feel you have to raise your level of playing baseball,” said Belliard, hitting .262 with seven homers overall. Belliard had an RBI double and Russell Martin hit a sacrifice in two-run eighth inning, which began when Juan Pierre, Ramirez’s replacement, singled

and stole second and third. Pierre had an RBI single in the ninth. Jonathan Broxton got a four-out save, entering to strike out Justin Upton with runners on first and second and two outs in the eighth inning. Broxton has 33 saves in 38 chances. Young hit a two-run homer in the fifth to make it 4-2. Young has 11 homers. The major league record for homers in two consecutive games is five, last done by the Alex Rodriguez on Aug. 17-18, 2002, when he was with Texas. Padilla, signed to a minor league contract Aug. 19 after being released by Texas on Aug. 17, is 2-0 with a 2.76 ERA in three starts since joining the Dodgers’ rotation. Padilla gave up six hits and struck out three in his second consecutive start against Arizona, which scored only one run off him in 5 1-3 innings of a nodecision Sept. 1. Padilla beat Colorado in his first start.

Scherzer (9-9) and Martin exchanged words in the middle of the fourth inning. Scherzer hit Martin with a pitch behind the left shoulder with two outs in the top of the inning. That came two batters after Belliard’s homer gave the Dodgers a 4-0 lead. Martin stared at Scherzer as he walked toward first base, escorted by home Eddings, and Scherzer took a few steps toward the base line. The two exchanged words on the field after Padilla flied out to end the inning. “I’m not trying to hit him. I’m trying to get an out. It caught me off guard that he was upset,” Scherzer said. “Looking at his body language, I don’t think he tried to hit me,” Martin said.“But it still hurt.” After Scherzer lined a single to right field to open the sixth inning, Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier threw to first base in an attempt to catch Scherzer, who made it easily.

Foles just happy for win, defense quiets LeFevour

NOTeS continued from page 9

“Nick told me he didn’t care (that he didn’t play), all he cared about is that we won the football game, and that shows you a lot about his character and a lot about why we feel comfortable with him leading this football team.” Despite Dykes promising that Foles would play against the Chippewas, Dykes had no doubt that both Scott and Foles would take snaps against NAU this coming weekend. “I think they’ll both play this week. I don’t know exactly what the plan is going to be quite yet … but I feel confident in both of them,” Dykes said. “I wish we would have played Nick (against Central Michigan), but I think given the set of circumstances I think we were wise, probably, doing what we did (against Central Michigan).”

Defensive domination

After the way Central Michigan and highlyacclaimed senior quarterback Dan LeFevour performed offensively on Saturday, a casual college football fan would call the hype “overblown.” Don’t buy into that belief: the Chippewa offense is good. Arizona’s defense was just better. “Defensively we played as well as we could,” UA head coach Mike Stoops said after the game. “Our position on the football was excellent, I thought we played fast, and that disrupted (Central Michigan).” The success on Saturday started up front with the defensive line. Junior bookends Ricky Elmore and Brooks Reed led a defensive front that put pressure on LeFevour all night and

never allowed him — or the Central Michigan offense as a whole — to get into a rhythm. With the defensive line dominating, the rest of the defense fell into line. The linebackers were able to run wild thanks to CMU’s need to double-team Arizona defensive linemen. No player had a better game statistically than senior middle linebacker Vuna Tuihalamaka, who had 10 tackles and an interception. “You could see his ability to cover ground inside,” Stoops said of Tuihalamaka. “Defensively, we were pretty much on point most of the night, and I thought our speed and ability to close on the football and recover was very good.” The thing that stood out most was the speed that the defense played with. The Wildcats closed on almost all gaps the offense tried to create, and they succeeded in getting as many players to the ball as possible. The linebackers and secondary have been praised for their speed since the spring, but it was the defensive line that showed how much faster they’ve gotten since last season. Both Reed and Elmore were quick off the ball and mixed speed moves into their already-polished power moves. “I thought our speed and our ability to cover was very, very good against a team that has had great success moving the football,” Stoops said during a Monday press conference. “We really just kind of covered the field really well, and that was exciting. Our ability to hit and be in position was really excellent. Defensively, I thought our guys did a really, really good job.”

evident throughout the game. He missed a wide-open William “Bug” Wright on a seam route in the end zone during the first quarter, and then again on a flag route in the third quarter. “I was trying to rush my throws,” Scott said after the game. “On a couple (of plays) I’d see an open receiver and my eyes lit up, and I think, ‘I need to get the ball to this guy,’ and I’d try to rush it, but I can’t do that.” Scott struggled mightily rolling to his left and throwing across his body, badly shorthopping a pass to a wide-open Delashaun Dean. Even rolling to the right — especially for a right-handed QB as mobile as Scott — proved to be a challenge when he missed H-back Chris Gronkowski on an out pattern that could have turned into a huge gain. “I put that on nerves,” said senior receiver Terrell Turner about Scott missing open receivers. “It was his first game, lights were on, and people were anxious to see what he was going to do.”

Grigsby shoulders the load

He might not have a household name like Jahvid Best from California or Jacquizz Rodgers from Oregon State University, but Arizona’s starting running back Nic Grigsby is slowly but surely becoming one of the best running backs in the conference. “Nic is a very talented, very underrated player,” Stoops said after Saturday night’s win. “I thought he ran the ball effectively.” In fact, the Wildcats leaned on Grigsby early and often during the contest against the

Noteworthy

• Think tight end Rob Gronkowski wasn’t missed despite the win? Think again. Arizona struggled mightily in the red zone, mostly because Gronkowski — their top target inside the 20-yard line — was out. His absence was also felt in the running game, as senior H-back/fullback Chris Gronkowski was forced to play the wing next to backup tight end A.J. Simmons to assist him with his run blocking. • Freshman linebacker Jake Fischer didn’t get a chance to contribute much defensively, but his presence was felt on special teams on the first kick-off of the game when he blew up his blocker en route to making a tackle. • The defense was so dominant that they even had the biggest role in CMU’s lone scoring drive — Ricky Elmore’s roughingthe-passer penalty and senior cornerback Devin Ross’ pass-interference penalty gave the Chippewa’s 30 free yards.

Sophomore quarterback Matt Scott rolls out for a pass. He completed 19-of-30 pass attempts for 202 yards and ran the ball for 83 yards on nine carries.

Chippewas, and that was the game plan going into a game where Arizona would debut a new starting quarterback. Grigsby finished the game with 118 yards on 23 carries and scored the Wildcats’ lone touchdown. “We expected to come out running the ball, but we didn’t expect for them to jump out on defense like that,” Grigsby said. “We moved the ball really well, we just have to finish drives.” That lack of finishing is something that will motivate Grigsby during his preparation for the game against NAU this weekend. His increased knowledge of the game and his realization of necessary in-game adjustments is making him a better player than he was last year. “I played hard and I ran hard, but there were times during the game where instead of me seeing a hole and just hitting it, I was just hitting it instead of seeing it,” Grigsby said after Saturday’s game. “But as the game moved on I calmed down and got back to myself.” Grigsby, a junior, is on the depth chart with two other talented running backs who have pushed for more carries, but Grigsby has separated himself and clearly emerged as the No. 1 running back. Rather than complain about losing some carries to sophomore Keola Antolin and redshirt freshman Greg Nwoko. Grigsby embraces it. “It’s always nice having somebody back there to fill you in and to get some water in you and come back in fresh,” Grigsby said. When he isn’t catching his breath and getting his legs back under him on the sideline, Grigsby is doing everything he can to make plays and help an offense that is breaking in a new quarterback. “There’s always that play where I’ve got to try to make ground because our offense really came up short,” he said after the game. “I have to try even harder to break (a run for a big gain).”

REFORM

Bilingual meeting serves citizens

continued from page 1

Other speakers focused on the challenges of providing health care to the local Hispanic community. Cecilia Rosales, Ph.D., an associate professor of Community, Environment, and Policy, said there is a higher number of people in border states â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where more than half the Hispanic population of the United States lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; without insurance than elsewhere. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;socio-economic statuses of these populations put them in a vulnerable state of health,â&#x20AC;? she said. Rosales described the situation as an inevitable cycle where populations tend to not get treatment for tuberculosis, diabetes, heart disease or depression because â&#x20AC;&#x153;they lack the resources, and it ends up making them pay more because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take care of it in the beginning.â&#x20AC;? One Hispanic man stood to ask a question about how the health care reform will help provide for those who lose their job. He said was not permitted to receive Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System because he was unemployed, making it difficult for him to feed his family as he looked for a new job. His tearful story again brought

people to their feet. Chemical engineering junior Ramsey Coronado was among those with an emotional reaction to the stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That hit me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my people...I know where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming from, the context.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I have my family that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking care of and that inability to provide health care is so hard.â&#x20AC;? Coronado came with a group of several students from the UAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center at the University of Arizona. Coronado added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very rare to see a Hispanic man break down like that. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cultured to show no tears, like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weakness.

Physiology and religious studies junior Krista Bolin, also with the Catholic Newman Center, said that many students take their health care accessibility for granted. For this reason, she said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to be part of a student contingent at a meeting like this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pre-med,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so I need to be informed about what will affect my future and the future of those Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m helping.â&#x20AC;?

Senate chair proposes fee on insurance companies The Associated Press WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sen. Max Baucus pushed a new health care plan on Monday including an industry fee to help pay for covering the uninsured. This came after President Barack Obama said insurance companies must share accountability for the troubled system. The Finance Committee is the lastbest hope for a bipartisan bill since four of five congressional committees have produced partisan proposals. Baucus, DMont., has said he would move forward on his own if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no agreement by Sept. 15. Meanwhile, Obama said in a Labor Day speech in Cincinnati that a health insurance system should work as well for all Americans as it does for the insurance industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They should be free to make a profit. But they also have to be fair. They also have to be accountable,â&#x20AC;? the president said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; security and stability for folks who have health insurance, help for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, coverage they need at a price they can afford, finally bringing costs under control

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reform thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed.â&#x20AC;? Baucus, who is chairman of the finance panel, is part of a six-member bipartisan group trying to craft a bill satisfactory to both parties, and the group is set to meet Tuesday as Congress returns from its August recess and the president prepares for his prime-time speech on Wednesday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether the fee, designed to create competition in the insurance market, would win support of two key Republicans in the group: Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Mike Enzi of Wyoming. The Baucus proposal reflected many of their priorities, chief among them the decision not to include a government-run plan to compete with private insurers. Democratic sources close to the negotiations, who were not authorized to be quoted by name, disclosed the fee and other details of the Baucus proposal. One source said the proposal included suggestions from all six members. The fee is only one piece of a Baucus plan that would establish a new way to purchase coverage for Americans who have trouble getting and keeping health insurance. Americans could keep their

own doctors. A spokesman for Enzi said the Wyoming senator remains actively involved in the negotiations, and he is reviewing the Baucus proposal to make sure it keeps a handle on costs and that it also focuses on concerns folks brought to his attention during August. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, accompanying Obama on a trip to Ohio on Monday, told reporters the administration would be pleased if the Finance Committee throughout the course of the next few days would â&#x20AC;&#x153;pull together the strands of many different pieces of legislation to improve health care for all Americans.â&#x20AC;? Under the Baucus plan, health insurance exchanges, with information on different plans and prices, would allow small groups and individuals to buy policies at lower rates. Medicaid would be expanded to cover more low-income people. Nonprofit cooperatives would be established as an alternative to for-profit insurance companies, giving consumers more choices. Tax credits would allow low- and middle-income Americans to buy private coverage.

Basic Facts

â&#x20AC;˘ West Nile is a virus that mainly infects birds. â&#x20AC;˘ Mosquitoes that feed on infected birds, take in the virus. â&#x20AC;˘ Mosquitoes can transmit it to other animals and humans they bite later. â&#x20AC;˘ The virus is not passed on person to person. â&#x20AC;˘ Most people who are bitten by mosquitoes are not bitten by an infected mosquito. â&#x20AC;˘ Most people who are bitten by an infected mosquito do not get sick. â&#x20AC;˘ Most people who do get sick get a mild disease. â&#x20AC;˘ Very few people can develop severe disease. â&#x20AC;˘ Mosquitoes are prevalent in Tucson during summer and early fall.
