Cancer Center supports soldiers By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT More than 30 volunteers have donated and helped to collect DVDs, CDs, audio books and video games in an effort put on by members of the Arizona Cancer Center. “Adopt a U.S. Soldier” is a nonprofit organization that aims to

send letters and care packages to deployed soldiers. Mary Ann Brady, the program coordinator at the Arizona Cancer Center, took on the task of localizing the project and is focusing on the 700 servicemen and women of Task Force Gambler, a taskforce in southeastern Afghanistan. “(Brady) first took the idea to the director of the Cancer Center

who said that if she undertook this project they’d support her and back her all the way,” said Cindy Ryan, assistant to the director of the Arizona Cancer Center. “My nephew is in the Marines and I know he’s always extremely gratified to receive these type of care packages that arrive from home, so I was eager to be able to help out too.”

“It sounded like a more hands-on type of program where you know you’re helping out real people rather than a faceless donation where you don’t know where your money is going,” said Mitzi Miranda, an accountant at the Arizona Cancer Center and one of the volunteers working with Brady. “You know what you’re doing is helping out

a soldier in need.” Miranda heard about the program after an email sent by Director Dave Alberts to 400 staff and faculty members on the Cancer Center’s listserv. Rather than mandating everyone to help, the email encouraged people to get involved and resulted in 29 volunteers signing up soon after. SOLDIERS, page 3

UA dept celebrates 100th ECE honors centennial with lecture series as outreach effort By Lívia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is turning 100 years old. To celebrate, the ECE prepared a special schedule in honor of the achievements of what was the first department of its kind in the Southwest. But the past is only a means to look into the future. According to Jerzy Rosenblit, head of the department, they want to bring awareness of its work to students who are undecided by reaching out to the community. “Engineering clearly is a rigorous study of the underlying physical and mathematical principles, but there’s a tremendous opportunity for people to pursue their personal passions,” Rosenblit said. “We have people here who want to pursue music, who want to work in biomedical areas, folks that now think perhaps we could, as engineers, get engaged in policy making to impact the environment.” As part of centennial events, the department is bringing in professionals who have succeeded in different areas of the field to participate in their Centennial Distinguished Lecture series. Inventor Saul Griffith kicked off the lecture series last week with a presentation on the environment. A presentation of rovers, devices deemed to be the next generation of planetary exploration, was conducted on the UA Mall on Oct. 4. “We, as a community, have something to be incredibly proud of. The fact that, right ECE, page 3

A quilt decorated with inspirational phrases including “Love Yourself” and “Gay is Beautiful” is displayed on UA Mall during the National Coming Out Day LGBTQ Resource Fair on Monday. The event included booths set up along the Mall offering resources including campus clubs, HIV/AIDS support and leadership training.

Pride Alliance: ‘That’s So Gay’

Coming Out Week aimed at ending abuse, fixing vocabulary By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Programs for this year’s UA Coming Out Week address recent harassment of the LGBTQ community. The 12 days of events come after national attention has been called to the bullying of gay teenagers. Several teenagers committed suicide over the past month after being harassed, including Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi, after his roommate broadcasted Clementi having sex with another man on the internet. Coming Out Week incorporates a variety of events geared toward the UA. Pride in the Desert and drag bingo celebrate individuality and pride in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community. “We do have some events that are a little more somber,” said

sociology senior Jai Smith, co-director of ASUA Pride Alliance. Event organizers added a speakout and candlelight vigil in response to the recent suicides, as “a call to action for those who won’t stand for this type of bullying,” Smith said. The suicides have heightened awareness of an ongoing problem, according to Smith. “It’s important to note that this bullying is not new, but definitely something that has gained a lot more media attention,” Smith said. “The fact of the matter is that this is our lives we’re talking about.” Martie van der Voort, mental health clinician for Campus Health Service, runs a weekly support group where LGBTQ students can share their stories of harassment. “That figured prominently in our discussion this week. A lot of this is going on here,” van der Voort said. “We’re talking about it. It’s big. We’re tapping into a lot of grief in

the queer community.” History junior Kristen Godfrey attended the Coming Out Day resource fair on the UA Mall Monday. She said several students yelled the word “faggot” during the football game on Saturday. “Everyone uses it,” Godfrey said. “We actually had to tell a stranger, ‘Dude. That’s a bad word. Stop saying that.’” Van der Voort has personally experienced this discrimination. “I’ve certainly had people drive by and yell ‘dyke’ at me,” van der Voort said. Coming Out Week aims to educate the public about these issues. “There are some events that are specifically to reach those who might not have any idea what the LGBTQ community looks like or that it is very diverse,” Smith said. The resource fair provided information from campus and community organizations. Signs displayed

statistics about harassment and messages from the Pride Alliance’s “That’s So Gay” campaign. The campaign “brings awareness to the phrase ‘That’s so gay,’ to people who use it and may not know what it means,” said psychology senior Derek Knocke, intern for ASUA Pride Alliance. Coming Out Day also featured an open discussion during which people could share personal coming out stories. “LGBTQ (people) and straight allies all have stories about the fight we fight,” said Patty Putman, intern for ASUA Pride Alliance and a senior studying English. Van der Voort said allies are important to ending discrimination. “The allies are showing up — non-gays supportive of the queer community,” van der Voort said. “That to me is where real revolution lies. That’s actually a wonderful example of coming out.”

EVERYONE HAS A STORY Bringing ‘Saxappeal’ to senate By Abigail Richardson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

ASUA Sen. Chad Travis, a pre-business sophomore, talks about the influence the saxophone has had on his life. Travis used the slogan “Chad Travis puts the sax in ASUA” for his campaign.

“Everyone Has a Story” is a weekly segment in the Arizona Daily Wildcat that aims to tell the story of an interesting person on the UA campus. This week, the Daily Wildcat interviewed Chad Travis, an Associated Students of the University of Arizona senator. “Saxappeal in the Senate” was the slogan Travis used during ASUA Senate elections.

“I just wanted to have fun with the campaign,” Travis said. “Saxophone has always been a huge part of my life.” During the eight years that Travis has played the saxophone, he has had many memorable moments — some of them embarrassing. “I was playing in the Wind Symphony with the U of A, here, and it was my first concert,” he said. “There is a big intense moment

Well, somehow, I miscounted the rests so I came in on the rest when the entire band was silent. I played as loud as I could play and it was so embarrassing.

I see you everywhere, love your style and I feel like you are one of those people that only you can pull off the things you wear. Tell me a little about your inspiration and how you got to where you are. I really, really love retro clothing. I’m really into the 60s and I love pin-up style too and everyone on campus is always like “You look like Katy Perry.” I was just going to say that! So I kind of embraced it and she’s one of the inspirations for why I dress the way I do. Literally, I hope you are going to be her for Halloween or something. I am! I got the cupcake bra and my roommate, he’s this gay guy and he bedazzled these Daisy Duke shorts, they are so glittery. There is like four ounces of glitter on them. Girl, OK, where are you going to be on Halloween? I need to see this. We’re going to go down to Fourth (Avenue). Also, I am friends with like all the gay men on campus and they are having this like huge, giant party so that is where I will be. So if you dress like this for school, what do you do on the weekends? I am sure it’s just an all-out show when you go out. This past weekend we had victory rolls goin’ on, they were so cute. I am really into high-waisted stuff and dresses when we go out, and heels, of course. For my favorite thing to do I am usually out with my friends. I do modeling so my weekends are usually pretty booked. I probably sound so cocky but I’m usually with my friends, it’s the best. Do you get a ton of compliments everyday or, like, weird looks? I feel like I dress for women. I don’t know if that sounds weird because I feel like men are kind of like, “Oh hey, there’s that one girl who thinks she is vintage,” but girls are the ones who notice and that’s usually what I appreciate. Yeah and guys are probably confused, thinking like, “What is going on?” Yeah and like, “You look fine if you have T-shirt and jeans on. Why are you wearing heels everyday?” Do you ever come to school just in sweatpants or is that just out of the question? Nope, that’s a no. That is no, I am so … that is like my one rule. I won’t do that. I know that is probably terrible but I just won’t do that. Kind of like Regina George in “Mean Girls”? I admire her. She has got skill there even when she gets the holes cut in her boobs she makes it work.

Amino acid cocktail extends life by 12 percent in mice LOS ANGELES — Want to live longer? One of the most sure-fire strategies is caloric restriction. Going on what amounts to a permanent diet has been shown to stave off age-related diseases and death in worms, flies, rodents and monkeys. But caloric restriction isn’t for everyone. Thankfully, scientists have been looking for ways to get the same benefits with less sacrifice. A group of Italian researchers is offering up one potential

alternative — water fortified with a cocktail of branched-chain amino acids, or BCAAs for short. Such cocktails are sometimes offered as supplements to people with age-related diseases, like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and sarcopenia. The Italians investigated the value of a more all-purpose drink made from an amino acid supplement that a Milan company sells to athletes. Among the key ingredients are leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine

and threonine. The mice began drinking the BCAA water instead of regular water when they were 9 months old and kept drinking it for the rest of their lives. And those lives turned out to be significantly longer than for mice who drank normal water — a median of 869 days vs. 774 days. The extra three months amounted to a 12 percent increase in lifespan.

You achieve balance this year as you pursue social and career objectives, while managing household issues imaginatively. Practical and ethical considerations occupy your thoughts and could detract from pursuing romantic interests. Don’t let that happen.

Web Director Eric Vogt

Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 7 — Secrets have a way of becoming public information. Tell no one. Instead, remain open and friendly on every other topic of conversation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — You lead in an independent direction today. When others pose questions, your answers reveal this. Wait until tomorrow for a peaceful resolution. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) — Today is a 6 — Don’t take no for an answer. Maybe it’s workable, so go with that and revise details along the way. You’ll get a yes soon enough.

Volunteers send DVDs, CDs to military stations overseas

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Mitzi Miranda, left, Arizona Cancer Center business accountant, and Mary Ann Brady, Arizona Cancer Center program coordinator, discuss the CDs and DVDs they are donating to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adopt a U.S. Soldierâ&#x20AC;? volunteer program in the center on Oct 4.

There are now 31 volunteers for the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked a representative if we, the cancer center, could be assigned a platoon or a unit because I wanted to gather volunteers who were like-minded,â&#x20AC;? Brady said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the organization gave me the name of Chaplain Ed Harris, the chaplain for Task Force Gambler that is stationed in FOB Sharanah. I emailed Chaplain Harris and told him who I was and what I was trying to do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chaplain Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first point of contact with me was to call me from Afghanistan, which startled me,â&#x20AC;? Brady said. The two spoke about the stream of programs that the chaplain was trying to bring to the base in Afghanistan. The first of these programs is to create a DVD, CD, video game and audio book library. The center has received donations from a local bookstore that gave them their â&#x20AC;&#x153;rejectâ&#x20AC;? disks that were already earmarked for a recycler.

The store wishes to remain unnamed, but Brady said the gift made up a hefty portion of their donations so far. So far, volunteers have collected a total of 432 DVDs, 70 television show series, 41 motivational or instructional DVDs, 850 CDs, 125 Playstation and Xbox games and 10 audio books. In addition, volunteers have donated money for the shipping costs of getting all of these care packages to Afghanistan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chaplain Harris has hopes of building the collection up to 3,000 DVDs,â&#x20AC;? Brady added. She hopes UA students will become involved in the effort so they can reach this goal. Their next program is an outreach effort called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;soldier store,â&#x20AC;? which will be starting in the next month or two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are items over there that the army doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supply for the army men and women, or that they could use on top of what

they get,â&#x20AC;? Brady said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chaplain Harris said the soldier store is booming over there and stuff goes out faster than it comes in. We are going to be helping him replenish his soldier store with things like deodorant, laundry detergent, chocolate, snacks, batteries, razors, etc.â&#x20AC;? Brady also mentioned a third project that is already being planned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to be helping Chaplain Harris with an orphanage that is right outside of the base,â&#x20AC;? Brady said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is host to nearly 200 Afghan orphans ranging in age from 2 to 15 year olds. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great need for food, winter clothing and food supplies.â&#x20AC;? This project has not begun yet, and organizers have not yet chosen a specific date to begin work with the orphanage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome of her that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undertaken this project, and I hope she can get more people involved in the cause,â&#x20AC;? Ryan said.

Gala, rovers mark anniversary

here at the UA, we are building and designing exploration vehicles,â&#x20AC;? said Wolfgang Fink, an electrical and computer engineering associate professor involved in the project. To end the celebrations, a Centennial Anniversary Gala at the JW Marriot Starr Pass will be held Oct. 22 to raise funds for the department. According to Rosenblit, the department has already surpassed $100,000 in donations. He said this â&#x20AC;&#x153;overwhelmingâ&#x20AC;? response from the community is predominantly because of Electrical and Computer Engineering Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on the economy.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an item of high priority in the national agenda, not to lose our cutting edge in high technology,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we do clearly contributes to the economic development because our students are very highly sought. They immediately are gainfully employed.â&#x20AC;? One hundred years ago, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department did not have â&#x20AC;&#x153;computerâ&#x20AC;? in its name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was all about delivering electricity to the house,â&#x20AC;? Rosenblit said. Now, times and issues have changed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about) how to power your cell phone so it stays up for a week or two.â&#x20AC;? The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;computerâ&#x20AC;? was added in 1983 and reflects the evolution of technology over the years and the rising computer era. Rosenblit said the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cutting-edge research reflects market needs and evolutions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we are also cognizant of the need to teach and educate students.â&#x20AC;? Entering the computer era, the department was also ahead in developing hardware and computer architectures in an area called digital design.

solar power projects to address the latter issue. For the gala, the department has contacted its oldest living graduate, 90-year-old Allan Rosenstein, a former professor at UCLA and distinguished professional in his field. The ECE department hopes he will attend.

President Bush: I’m sorry

Andrew Shepherd

Arizona Daily Wildcat

ear Mr. President: My purpose for writing to you today is not to discuss ideology, or to comment on your presidency, but rather to apologize for my actions during your time in office. I must admit that I’m a liberal who spent a lot of time working against the policies of your administration. While I don’t apologize for my stances on the issues and still feel your tenure in office to be a relative failure, I’m now able to see the manner in which I worked against you was absolutely wrong. Mr. President, my opposition to you was so passionate that I would often describe you with such unflattering terms as “fascist” and “evil.” I joined every online community dedicated to your demise and fraternized with like-minded people who did nothing but profess their hatred of you. I truly believed you only had the interests of big business and wealthy individuals at heart and actively worked to advance their wishes at the expense of the mainstream. Sir, as I’ve grown and learned more about the system, I couldn’t be more ashamed of these views. While your policies were truly pro-business and mainly benefited the wealthy, this was not due to a disdain for the working man, but rather a fundamentally different view on how to stimulate the economy. I actively professed my hatred of you and was completely unfair to your administration.

“While I don’t apologize for my stances on the issues and still feel your tenure in office was a relative failure, I’m now able to see the manner in which I worked against you was absolutely wrong.” The main reason I feel compelled to write this letter to you today is due to the current political climate. I can’t accurately express the anger I feel when I hear our current president described as fascist, communist or socialist; labels that not only contradict each other, but are quite inaccurate. I find your tax cuts, decision to invade Iraq, deregulation of the financial sector (Clinton’s too) and overall philosophy regarding foreign policy to have damaged our country and I would never vote for you in the future if given the chance. Nonetheless, you made these decisions truly believing they were the best for our great nation. I don’t apologize for working for the Democratic Party in opposition to your administration, but the fact that I attached such labels is truly embarrassing. Now that you’re out of the Washington fray and living a hopefully quiet and peaceful life, it would be nice to see you speak out against the increasingly bitter anti-Obama movement. I’m not stupid; I’m sure you abhor the policies of the Obama administration as much as they do, but after experiencing the intense opposition that you did, I’m sure you can relate. Why can’t we return to civility? Quite frankly, you aren’t looked upon very favorably by almost everybody, yet a statement condemning the vicious, baseless diatribes of people such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity would send a powerful message. As president, you relied on these people to rally your base, but now that you’re out of office I hope you see them as counterproductive to the advancement of our society. Having a political debate is very healthy to the system, but not when it only involves name-calling. Mr. President, I whole-heartedly apologize for demonizing you over the past eight years and wish I could have been more civil. Please do one thing for the American people: speak out against the damaging and offensive rhetoric toward President Obama.

MAILBAG ASUA should adopt ranked-choice voting

Although ASUA elections may not be foremost on students’ minds until next semester, the ASUA Senate is considering amendments to its election code right now. This is the best time to take a hard look at how the ASUA elections were conducted in the past and consider changes for this coming election. ASUA currently uses one of the most cumbersome and expensive methods for electing its senate and officers. If you voted last year, you experienced it firsthand: The candidates go out and solicit votes, then wait a week, then do it again. Two rounds of elections doubles the costs, confuses voters and ends up polling two separate groups of students. Candidates for the senate find that they must not only run themselves, but also oppose other candidates, since anyone who votes for more than just them helps their opponents. This method does have one major benefit: It prevents splitting the vote between two candidates and giving the election to a third. However, this can be achieved even better with a single round election if ASUA adopts ranked-choice voting, or RCV. In an RCV election, rather than voting for 10 candidates for senate and one for every other office, all candidates are simply ranked. Your first choice candidate for an office is number 1, your second choice number 2, and so on. Where there’s a split vote among first choices, a candidate can simply be eliminated and those votes go to their second choice in an instant runoff. The election only requires one round, the same group is polled and the candidates are encouraged to campaign positively as they compete not only for first-choice votes, but for the secondchoice votes of their opponents’ supporters. There’s no concern with vote splitting and the instructions for voting are exactly the same whether voting for a single-seat executive office or for the 10-seat senate. This system is being used by a variety of other universities, including at least six of the UA’s sister schools including every campus of the University of California. It’s also being picked up by more and more cities and municipalities in the U.S., with

the largest being San Francisco and Oakland in California, and Minneapolis and St. Paul in Minnesota. Exit polls in these cities consistently show that voters prefer being able to rank candidates and not having to worry about the “spoiler” effect in races with more than two candidates. ASUA conducts a number of very important duties for its constituents. It would be best if it were elected in a way that really represents its constituents, not to mention saving the time and money of an unnecessary runoff election. Now is the time to let your senators know if you agree with me: ranked-choice voting is just better. Andrew Spencer Law student

Column incorrectly jumped the gun on continuing investigation

In the article published Sept. 1 titled “Anti-immigration stunt backfires,” Kristina Bui does nothing more than spread lies and add fuel to an ongoing fire. The piece was so biased that she concluded (assuming with her own investigation?) Deputy Louie Puroll had shot himself: “Regardless of all the possible answers, I wouldn’t put my faith in a law enforcement official who apparently shot himself or allowed himself to be shot for any reason, especially to create a perception of fear and danger. That scenario is scary, but not for the same reasons Puroll’s version of the events is,” the column read. There was no proof saying he did or didn’t shoot himself at that time. Independent tests have since determined the round was fired from a distance, so he didn’t shoot himself. I expected more from a student-run newspaper, but instead your bias toward S.B. 1070 is clearly evident with the side you chose to take in an unsolved investigation. Sometimes bad people do bad things, and sometimes they happen to be illegal immigrants. Thomas Noble Regional development undergraduate

Lennon’s message resurrected Tyler Quillin guest columnist

magine waking up to a world filled with acceptance, kindness and tolerance. Imagine creating a world where there was no fear of persecution, hate or violence. Imagine, if John Lennon were alive, what sort of world we would be living in with 30 more years of the pop icon to campaign for peace, love and unity. Saturday marked what would have been John Lennon’s 70th birthday. This former Beatle who led a revolution and a campaign for peace might be somewhat shocked to see that we, as a society, have not come as far as he would have hoped. In honor of Coming Out Week, I feel it necessary to take a moment and remember the message of an amazing individual whose life was cut short: love. This sort of love is not what one might immediately equate to amorous affection, but rather genuine caring for your neighbor regardless of color, creed, orientation, height, weight, hair color, eye color, backpack, shoes,

purse, culture, hairstyle and the list goes on. “All You Need Is Love” is one of the most iconic songs and sayings of all time. Its simplicity and profundity rest in its truth. I implore you to understand the implications of making even the slightest effort to positively improve someone’s day. Hold a door open. Smile at someone. It all starts there and only leads to positive progress as a society. However, at present, it seems we have lost sight of Lennon’s message. In the past few weeks, there have been numerous horrific incidents involving suicides of gay teens and hate crimes toward homosexuals in the Bronx. These travesties are perpetrated by individuals who hurt others because they see them as “different.” We are all “different” and are so in a multitude of ways unique to each and every one of us. However, we are also all equal. No one person is better than another. This is a concept that seems to elude our current society as we still

have these crimes occurring. We still hear racist, ethnocentric and many other pejorative slurs used on our streets, in our schools and, ultimately, that means they are in our homes as well. Some of you reading this may think that I am some bleeding heart crying for everyone to love one another — and I am. However, that neither discounts the validity of Lennon’s message, nor helps us as a society push forward and embrace our differences. I implore you to look at the message of John Lennon that has fallen by the wayside. Nothing but good and positive things can come from adopting this lifestyle of love. We mustn’t accept the happenings of the present as we see our neighbors, our family members, our friends hurt by those who fail to feel, who fail to see the power of love. We have this opportunity that is presented to us at the beginning of each day. Choose to make the best of every day. Show others the power of acceptance. — Tyler Quillin is a senior majoring in philosophy and English.

Realtors toss Solar cells for electricity, hot $205,000 into water to top White House California Demâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign McClatchy Newspapers

McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The National Association of Realtors is pouring a hefty $205,000 into the effort to re-elect Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-Merced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good for them,â&#x20AC;? Cardoza campaign manager Mike Lynch said Monday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for Cardoza, as well. The Realtorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spending, made public Monday by the Federal Election Commission, will fund a mass mailing throughout the Northern San Joaquin Valley. The Realtorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spending is one of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest campaign expenditures for a Democrat so far this year, federal campaign records show. The newly reported spending also reflects the accelerating stream of so-called independent expenditures into California races. Certain races in particular are attracting outside funding, including the Senate race pitting Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer against Republican Carly Fiorina and the 11th Congressional District race pitting Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney against Republican challenger David Harmer. The money is called an independent expenditure because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to come without any coordination between the group spending the money and the political beneficiary. Lynch, for instance, said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of the spending by the National Association of Realtors Congressional Fund until he was informed by a reporter. That the Realtors were backing Cardoza over Republican candidate Mike Berryhill was, however, made clear in an endorsement letter last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;California Realtors have had a long and productive relationship with Congressman Cardoza because of his strong support of California homeowners,â&#x20AC;? Stockton Realtor Marian Norris declared when delivering the endorsement. The organization cited Cardozaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for policies such as extending an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers, which President Barack Obama signed into law earlier this year. Very few lawmakers opposed the politically popular extension, which passed the House by a 409-5 margin. The National Association of Realtors operates several political campaign committees, among the largest of their kind. They are an unsentimental and pragmatic bunch. When Republicans controlled Congress in 2004, for instance, GOP candidates and lawmakers received 52 percent of the Realtorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign contributions, records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics show. In 2008, with Democrats controlling Congress, 58 percent of the Realtorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign contributions went to Democrats.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The most famous house in America is going solar. The White House soon will have solar panels to supply the first familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot water and some of its electricity, the Department of Energy announced Tuesday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet clear whether the panels will be visible to tourists from below, but environmentalists and clean energy advocates hope that the buzz will give solar a boost, just as first lady Michelle Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vegetable garden got more people buying seeds. The White House solar panels will be a demonstration project to show that â&#x20AC;&#x153;American solar technologies are available, reliable and ready for installation in homes throughout the country,â&#x20AC;? the Energy Department said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project reflects President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong commitment to U.S. leadership in solar energy and the jobs it will create here at home. Deploying solar energy technologies across the country will help America lead the global economy for years to come,â&#x20AC;? Energy Secretary

Steven Chu said in a statement. Bill McKibben, the founder of 350.org â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a campaign to find climate change solutions in communities around the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said in a statement that the White House â&#x20AC;&#x153;did the right thing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it has anything like the effect of the White House garden, it could be a trigger for a wave of solar installations across the country and around the world,â&#x20AC;? he said. President Jimmy Carter installed 32 solar panels on the roof of the White House above the Oval Office in 1979 to heat water in the staff kitchen, according to the National Museum of American History in Washington, which acquired one of them. President Ronald Reagan removed them in 1986. McKibben obtained one of the old White House panels and drove it from Maine to Washington last month, trying to push the administration toward taking action on climate change. After Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement, White House officials said solar had been in the plans since the early days of the administration. Chu said in a blog post Tuesday that the new solar panels would be

on the roof by the end of next spring. The Energy Department will take bids from companies that want to install the panels and water heater. Among its criteria will be how well a company â&#x20AC;&#x153;showcases American technology, products and knowhow,â&#x20AC;? said Christine Glunz, a spokeswoman for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. The department expects the solar-powered system to produce about 19,700 kilowatt hours of electricity a year. Based on Washington commercial rates, that would mean an electricity bill savings for a typical household of $2,300 per year. The additional savings on hot water would be about $1,000. The department is investing in the next generation of solar power, and it says that innovation and new technologies will make solar energy cost-competitive with conventional electricity across the country. Solar today generates less than 1 percent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electricity. The costs of photovoltaic panels have been declining, however. The solar industry says that scaling up the use of solar would lower the cost further and make it competitive with coal and natural gas.

Burglar botches hot-wiring hunk of junk

An unknown person attempted to steal a UA student’s vehicle on Thursday. The student parked the car near Second Street and Park Avenue at one of the meters, and it is believed the attempt occurred between 3:30 and 4:45 p.m. At about 5:45 p.m. a University of Arizona Police Department officer contacted the owner, who found it damaged when he returned. There were wires hanging loose where the ignition switch should be. The student told the officer he had been trying to start the vehicle for the last hour before he reported the incident to UAPD. He said that about six weeks ago someone had cut the gas line underneath his vehicle while parked at a different location, not on campus. At that time he did not report the incident to Tucson Police Department because he did not feel there was anything special about the car, stating it was only worth about $1,000. The officer did not take any prints, since the student had been working inside of the car in the same area of the damage by the unknown individual. The suspect had entered the car by a broken window that was left unfixed for several months. A check of the interior of the car showed no evidence. The officer told the student to fix his window and to purchase a club for the vehicle. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Stop buying cable locks!

A student reported a bicycle that was stolen between 8 a.m. and 5:20 p.m. on Thursday. A UAPD officer got the description of the bike from the student via telephone. The student said it had a broken right pedal and was blue. The student had locked his bicycle using a cable lock after he parked it in the bike racks at the Thomas W. Keating BioResearch building. Yet when he returned to the area to pick up his bicycle at about 5:20 p.m., it was gone. There are no suspects or witnesses.

Chain locks, too!

A student’s bicycle was stolen from the bike racks on the south side of the Modern Languages building between 9:55 and 10:50 a.m. on Thursday. The student told UAPD he locked his black and red bicycle at the bike racks a few minutes before 10 a.m. and returned at 10:50 a.m. After he returned to the bike racks, he found his bicycle was missing, along with his lock and chain. The student told UAPD that his bike had been registered with Parking and Transportation Services, but had no information about who could have stolen his bicycle.

Reporter probably missing important instruments

A coin purse belonging to an unknown individual was found at the Louise F. Marshall building at about 10:37 a.m. and turned into UAPD. A lock shop employee turned in the purse and only stated where it had been found. The purse is a black Chanel coin purse and it contained a silver Canon camera, a silver and black Olympus voice recorder, a black hard drive and white headphones. The purse was taken into UAPD property and evidence. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Stoops pleased with effort

Despite loss, head coach remains positive By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Keola Antolin, right, was a bright spot during the Wildcats 29-27 loss to Oregon State on Saturday. The junior rushed for 80 yards on seven carries with a touchdown and caught four balls for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Light at the end of the tunnel Foles, Criner and Antolin among many good things in loss By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT For as bad as the secondary was in Saturday’s “missed opportunity” against Oregon State, there were some positives from the game. Here is some silver lining from the 29-27 loss to the Beavers:

Foles and Criner money again

Quarterback Nick Foles continued his stellar season against the Beavers, going 35-for-46 for 440 yards and two touchdowns. The junior now ranks second in the

nation in completions per game (27.4), fifth in passing yards per game (305.8) and sits atop the Pac-10 in total offense. He was sacked three times and threw an interception in the end zone on Saturday, but he kept Arizona in it, and his incredible rapport with Juron Criner gave the Wildcats reason to take more shots downfield. Criner finished the game with 12 catches for a career-high 179 yards, including a 45-yard diving touchdown catch rarely seen at the collegiate level. He was snaring jump balls, catching throws way behind him and making defenders miss after the catch.

Criner has been limited due to turf toe in the last two contests but looked to be 100 percent and further proved he’s one of the top receivers in the Pacific 10 Conference and the country. The 6-foot-4 wideout is seventh in the nation and first in the Pac-10 in receiving yards per game (106.2) while ranking first in the conference in receptions per game (6.2).

Run defense still stout

With arguably the conference’s top running back, Jacquizz Rodgers, in town Saturday, it seemed improbable that Arizona’s run defense would

keep up its torrid pace. But although the Wildcats allowed their first two rushing touchdowns of the season against Oregon State, they held Rodgers to a lowly 3.3 yards per carry average — 83 yards on 25 carries. Arizona’s run defense now ranks No. 16 in the nation and No. 1 in the Pac-10 for yards per game (99.6). Despite facing Rodgers, NFL-ready Cal running back Shane Vereen and Iowa’s stout running game, the Wildcats are yet to allow a 100-yard rusher this season. The front four of Lolomana

It would be easy to picture Arizona head coach Mike Stoops, never one to hide his emotions and displeasure on the sideline, walking into his weekly Monday press conference with steam still spewing from his neck. That wasn’t the case yesterday. While Stoops admitted he was disappointed with the loss, he didn’t think his team played as poorly as some have made it out to be. “Every time we’d close the gap to three they’d answer,” Stoops said. “Just getting ahead was tough for us. I thought our kids played hard. I thought offensively a couple third downs we busted early in the game and that really got us behind. In the second half we moved the ball very well.” While the offense’s 20-point second half was good enough to make up for its ineffective first half, the defense struggled from start to finish. “I thought the game got down to stops and, realistically, they were 10-14 on third down and that was the story of the game,” Stoops said. “I thought their quarterback did a great job throwing the ball on time, and when they needed to, they found the holes in our defense. When we weren’t in the right spot he hit the plays and when we did cover them, he’d pull it down and run.” Leading the way for Oregon State was quarterback Ryan

IS ARIZONA A FOOTBALL OR BASKETBALL SCHOOL?

Hoops: Illustrious tradition hasn’t fizzled COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman sports writer

Step away from this top-25 football team hoopla for just one minute, and you’ll understand why Arizona is and will continue to be a basketball school. First, drop your understanding of the basketball team at Arizona from the past five years, because that’s a twisted anomaly — not because Arizona wasn’t up to Arizona standards, but because of the circumstances behind why the Wildcats weren’t elite. No college team goes through such wild periods. Secondly, consider that the majority of the fans piling into McKale Center are, well, on the grey-haired side. Why do they show up? Because today, which happens to be the men’s basketball media day, Tucson’s culture still breathes Arizona basketball, the program Lute Olson built and led into elite-hood. Say what you will about the current status of the football and hoops teams. That Block A is a brand, a basketball brand. Your marketing professors probably told you about this branding idea. Even through Arizona basketball went through that scandal, like that whole BP oil spill thing will hardly dent the reputation of those two capitalized letters put together, all because of its brand. Same with Arizona basketball and its veteran fans.

And it’s not only the older crowd. Despite past scandal at Arizona, Josiah Turner, a highly-touted 2011 point guard recruit, recently committed to head coach Sean Miller — he said he enjoyed watching former players Jerryd Bayless and Gilbert Arenas. Those players in the NBA are free marketing for the school. While there are plenty of Arizona athletes in the NFL, the most famous UA football players in the spotlight are probably current ESPN analysts Tedy Bruschi and Antonio Pierce. Fans have pride about those guys, but fans won’t go onto message boards to boast about the Wildcats having more professional athletes in football compared to other schools. They will about the Wildcats in the NBA. And let’s go back to the legacy and tradition put in place by Olson. Tarnished by an NCAA investigation? Maybe. Fizzled out by a weird retirement? Yes. But fans don’t cling to the bad. They place the negatives aside; I guarantee they won’t tell Duke basketball fans that the Blue Devils have a better tradition because Arizona’s 25-year streak is technically not 25 years after the NCAA vacated a postseason appearance in 2008. And I guarantee they won’t pretend Bayless, who only played for the Wildcats in 2008, did nothing for Arizona basketball. Turner doesn’t think so. — Kevin Zimmerman is a journalism senior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Football: Up-and-coming program steals spotlight COMMENTARY BY Nicole Dimtsios sports writer

When you Google “Arizona freshmen recruiting class” you would think that the top article would be concerning the state of Sean Miller and the Arizona Wildcats, a perennial “basketball school.” The result suggests otherwise. Instead, the top article is about Arizona’s 2010 football recruits. This may seem like a trite example, but it suggests a larger theme: UA is shifting to a football school. It’s plaguing tradition on the hardwood against recent success on the gridiron. A 25-year NCAA streak, the nickname “Point Guard U,” and hall of fame coaches and players give Arizona the identity as a “basketball school,” but Arizona football’s recent success begs to differ. To start, Arizona football had back-to-back bowl game appearances. This season had the Wildcats at No. 9, the highest national ranking since the 1999 preseason. The current team is balanced both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. If there was a time for Arizona to be called a football school, this is it. Head coach Mike Stoops is getting the media attention he wants — five Arizona games are slated for nationwide converge. He’s starting to get the star recruits — see four-star, Millennium High

School’s Marquis Flowers. And unlike Arizona basketball, football’s recruits haven’t fallen in Stoops’ lap due to other programs’ mistakes, like former-USC recruits Derrick Williams, Solomon Hill and Momo Jones. He’s also getting the support — Arizona had an average attendance of 52,555 in 2009, a nearly 92 percent capacity average. This season, two out of the Wildcats’ four home games have been pre-game sellouts. This is the most success that the football program has had since the early 1990s under then head coach Dick Tomey. True, Arizona has been a basketball school. Has been are the key words. In the past five years, football has steadily been gaining steam. And people are starting to notice in the Tucson community and nationwide. Ask yourself this: In the past two years, which program has been more recognizable on a national scale? Which program has had more a postseason presence, the most measurable amount of success? Which fan base has become more passionate, having to turn away hundreds of fans during the 2008 USC homecoming game and ASU game, and this season’s Iowa game? Which venue had to adjust opening times to appease students? Dynasties change, and the Arizona football team has inherited the right to rule the campus. — Nicole Dimtsios is a journalism junior.

Giants beat Braves, advance to NLCS McClatchy-Tribune

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Brooks Reed, left, and Ricky Elmore, right, converge on Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz during Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29-27 loss at Arizona Stadium on Saturday. Despite the defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles, Stoops was pleased with Reed and Elmore.

Ducks No. 2 ranking benefits Wildcats

Mikaele, Justin Washington, Ricky Elmore and Brooks Reed combined with linebackers Jake Fischer, Paul Vassallo and Derek Earls have been fantastic through five games and are a huge reason why Arizona is 4-1.

Antolin, Grigsby back on track

Junior running back Keoloa Antolin had his best game of the season on Saturday, rushing for 80 yards and his first rushing touchdown of 2010 on only seven carries, while catching four balls for 40 yards and a score. Antolin, who was Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher in 2009, totaled only 56 yards on 17 carries prior to Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. The 5-foot-8 power back is an integral part of Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense both as a runner and receiver, so the boost in production is a good sign of moving forward. Starting back Nic Grigsby had also been

quiet heading into the OSU game. After scoring five touchdowns in the first two games, Grigsby was held out of the end zone the last two. Although he only tallied 22 yards on five carries, Grigsby found the goal line Saturday after taking a screen pass 41 yards to the house. He was quiet all game but showed the playmaking prowess the Wildcats need to be a more balanced team.

Oregon jumped to No. 2

Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still early in the season, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to look at how the post season is shaping up. With former No. 1 Alambama falling to South Carolina on Saturday, Oregon jumped to No. 2 in the AP poll. If the Ducks make a serious BCS Championship run, Arizona just needs to finish ahead of Stanford and Oregon State to earn a Rose Bowl bid for the first time in school history.

ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Memo to the scoreboard operator at Citizens Bank Park: Bring some reading material for the National League Championship Series because chances are you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be very busy. The San Francisco Giants emerged Monday night as the club that stands in the way of the Philliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quest for a third straight World Series appearance, and they have the pitching to make matters quite uncomfortable for them. In another white-knuckle game, the Giants advanced by edging the Atlanta Braves, 3-2, at Turner Field to win the NL division series, three games to one. The game ended with closer Brian Wilson getting Melky Cabrera on a grounder to third with runners on first and second. The NLCS begins Saturday with a dream pitching matchup between arguably the two best righthanders in the game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roy Halladay vs. Tim Lincecum, a skinny, long-haired 175-pounder who has won two NL Cy Young Awards even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26 years old. The loss ended the 29-year managerial career of Bobby Cox, who took Atlanta to the brink of the NLCS despite a roster ravaged by injuries to key players. As the Giants celebrated on the field, Braves fans chanted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobby ... Bobby,â&#x20AC;? and the 69-year-old manager waved his cap to the cheering crowd. The Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four starters allowed the Braves three runs over 29 innings, and they had to be good because runs are hard to come by for the West Division champions. The series will return Pat Burrell and Aaron Rowand to Philly, although Rowand is no longer a starter. But the series will be about pitching, which seems appropriate in the year of the pitcher. The Giants took two of three from the Phillies in late April in San Francisco, then the Phillies came back and won two of three from the Giants at Citizens Bank Park in mid-August. Lefthander Jonathan Sanchez was the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most effective pitcher against the Phillies, beating them twice by 5-1 and

5-2 scores. Sanchez has been at his best in the last month. In his last eight starts, including Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Game 3 of the NLDS, he has allowed more than one earned run only once. Lincecum recovered from a terrible August (0-5, 7.82 ERA) to go 5-1 with a 1.94 ERA in his final six regular-season starts. Righthander Matt Cain joins Lincecum and Sanchez as the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top three starters. The day after Halladay pitched his nohitter against the Reds in the NLDS opener, Lincecum pitched a two-hit shutout and struck out 14 in a 2-0 win over the Braves. Linceum, Cain and Sanchez will be well-rested. Giants manager Bruce Bochy went with 21-year-old lefthander Madison Bumgarner in Game 4, saving Lincecum for a possible Game 5. The pitching matchup Monday favored the Braves. Derek Lowe made his 12th career playoff start, and he was pitching on three days rest rather than the usual four. He had the Giants thoroughly flummoxed until Cody Ross drilled a one-out homer in the sixth. It was the first hit off Lowe, who had eight strikeouts and faced the minimum 15 batters through five innings. Lowe was trying to protect a 1-0 lead when Ross homered in the sixth, but Brian McCann put the Braves back on top, 2-1, by sending Bumgarnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first pitch in the bottom of the sixth over the wall. But the needle on Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fuel tank was approaching empty in the seventh. He was pulled after he wrapped two walks around an infield single, and his night was finished. The Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tying run came home when shortstop Alex Gonzalez threw high to second for an error on a fielderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice. Then Ross came up big again with a bases-loaded single that put the Giants in front, 3-2. The lead-footed Burrell was thrown out at the plate trying to score the second run on Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit. The 37-year-old Lowe went into the game on a roll. He was named NL pitcher of the month for September after going 5-0 with a 1.17 ERA. He had 29 strikeouts and a mere three walks in 30 2.3 innings.

One of our friends drunkenly injured himself. He didn’t want to go to UMC for fear of being cited and charged with an MIP. Where I come from, they don’t call the police on underage drinkers. Is it the same here? If he needed to go to the hospital we would have taken him, regardless.

of alcohol) for either one of you. Doing the right thing may prevent more serious medical complications or a fatal tragedy. People can live through judicial and legal consequences but they don’t always survive serious injuries or alcohol poisoning. When in doubt, it’s always best to step up and help a friend. Better to attend a judicial hearing for them (or yourself) than risk attending a funeral. Now and then, life doesn’t give us second chances to do the right thing. Hoping to prevent student deaths due to inaction, some colleges and universities have policies to protect students seeking medical care from judicial sanctions. The UA does not have such a “medical amnesty” policy to protect underage drinkers from alcohol and other drug (AOD) sanctions if they call 911 or take a friend to the hospital. Proponents of medical amnesty maintain that such policies can remove the barriers to getting needed medical care by granting pardon from legal consequences. Opponents of such polices argue that medical amnesty conflicts with “zero tolerance” AOD policies and research has been inconclusive about the benefits and drawbacks.

Butts eager to start season

Third-year coach encouraged by what she’s seen so far in practice By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat

Tim Glass/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Senior forward Ify Ibekwe has been one of the few bright spots during Arizona women’s basketball’s rebuilding period. She and Pacific 10 Conference Freshman of the Year Davellyn Whyte are expected to be leaders this year.

NEED CASH? GOT BILLS?

As the start of her third year at the helm of the Arizona women’s basketball team nears, head coach Niya Butts has finally witnessed something in her team that had been lacking in years past at the beginning of the season. Drive. This drive was instantly apparent at the Wildcats’ first practice of the season on Oct. 4, and left the Arizona coaches with an incredible amount of hope and determination for this season, but even more so for the future. “We’re still building a (team) culture but you can definitely see it,” said Butts in a press conference on Thursday. “From year one to this year there is an incredible difference, as a staff we walked out of practice and looked at each other kind of speechless.” As one of the most celebrated players in Arizona women’s basketball history, Pacific 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year Ify Ibekwe will make her final mark as she rounds out her Wildcat career in her senior season. Being in a leadership role since her freshman season at Arizona has enabled her to usher in what Butts and company hope to be a bright future for the team. “There’s so much potential, (the coaches are) recruiting from everywhere and trying to bring in the best here,” Ibekwe said. “I think people are going to be surprised, this program is going to take off.” Assuming her own part of the leadership role is Pac-10 Freshman of the Year Davellyn Whyte.

Secondary must fix technique, positioning

Katz, whose performance can’t be understated. In just his fifth game as a starter, Katz threw for 393 yards on 3042 passing with two touchdowns as well as a rushing touchdown. “It was uncanny how he was able to get the ball where he needed to go and he did it very effectively and very well,” Stoops said of Katz. The Wildcats have split their first two Pacific 10 Conference games and the total point differential is just three. Stoops said that is indicative of how it will be for the rest of the season. “Execution just needs to be a little bit better. They played really smart and just out-executed us,” Stoops said. “We just didn’t come up with the stops defensively that you need to win close games. I think that’s what it will come down to (in the Pac-10). It’s going to come down to defense and being able to play consistently and come up with third down plays to win. That’s where the games are won and lost.”

Secondary blues

Coming into her sophomore season, Whyte knows that she can contribute even more. “Having a year under my belt, I knew what was expected of me and what I needed to do.” Whyte said. “Also, having Ify (Ibekwe) getting ready to leave, I know I need to step up this year so when she leaves it’s not a big transition for the team.” Last season, the Wildcats’ biggest Achilles’ heel was their depth. The Wildcats would contend solidly for the first half, but then the exhaustion that ensued in the second half would hamper the abilities of the team. Butts and her staff not only welcome more players on the bench this season, but also tout the abilities of their non-starters. “Our core group is going to be an exciting group,” Butts said. “It’s going to be a group that’s going to allow (Ibekwe and Whyte) to take a step back, not necessarily from being aggressive and leading our team, but maybe not having to play so many minutes.” This determination and focus could propel the Wildcats to a successful start, but the real test will be whether they can keep it up all season. Butts preaches the continuation of the drive everyday and practice, but it will ultimately have to come from the players, and Ibekwe and Whyte place the determination on their shoulders. “For Dav (Whyte) and I, coming to practice and having a positive attitude and constantly talking to our teammates,” Ibekwe said. “If we keep that up all the way through, then everyone will keep up, they will just follow us.”

Stoops may have downplayed the struggles of the secondary against Oregon State, but Saturday’s loss was evidence that the defense has work to do when it comes to pass coverage. “The secondary is everybody,” Stoops said. “I thought our pressure was good, I thought our underneath coverage needs to be better, I thought we busted some assignments. Some of it is underneath, some of it is execution.” Stoops said the precision and arm strength of Katz made the issues of the secondary worse than they actually are. While that may be partially true, the defensive

backs were picked apart in both man and zone coverages. “Some of it is technical, obviously, some of it’s mental and some of it’s schematic,” Stoops said. “All of it plays into some of our faults on Saturday night.” Cornerback Trevin Wade, a preseason All-Pac-10 and All-American selection, was burned badly by Beaver wide receiver James Rodgers on the first play of the game for a touchdown. Wade bit on Rodgers’ slant fake and couldn’t whip his hips around fast enough to recover. Stoops said that that may have been because of an injury and Rodgers’ speed. “He played good, he had the bad play that was coming off a thigh injury on the play before and just really got stuck in a bad position and made a bad move on the football,” Stoops said of Wade. “You make a bad move against (Oregon State), and they’ve got some receivers that can run as well as anybody.” Wade, who injured his thigh on the third play of the game, is listed as dayto-day. He missed practice on Monday, and Stoops is unsure what his status will be for the Washington State game this Saturday. Stoops is also unsure if Wade should have continued playing on Saturday. “That’s his choice. If he felt like he can go and he should be out there, and if you can’t go, you can’t go,” Stoops said. “Don’t go out there and be in a position where you can’t play and execute. Only he knows what he’s capable of doing, I can’t read his mind.” If Wade is unable to play against the Cougars, Stoops said that freshmen Shaquille Richardson or Jonathan McKnight will step in at cornerback.
