Graduate student leaders last night named a special guest judge for their upcoming Student Showcase: KOLD weatherman Chuck George. “I know, calm yourselves,”said Cory Christenson, physics doctoral student, during the Graduate and Professional Student Council’s meeting. The showcase, hosted by GPSC, displays work by graduate and undergraduate students and culminates in the awarding of a small cash prize. Applications for the showcase — near a record low of 25 by the original deadline last week — grew to more than 100 this week, said optical sciences doctoral student James Johnson. The explosion of applicants has led GPSC to require additional tables but is still set to meet budget, Johnson said. The graduate council also discussed the formation of an advisory committee to oversee ongoing efforts to pass a graduate student bill of rights. This committee would include representatives from the Associated Student of the University of Arizona, the Arizona Students Association and the GPSC policy subcommittee, among other groups, said GPSC President David Talenfeld, a secondyear law student. “I would like to build as broad-based of a coalition as possible,” he said. The next step for the bill of rights — now in an unofficial draft form largely unchanged from a version passed by the GPSC last year — will be to gain the endorsement of several faculty and administrative stakeholders, Talenfeld said. These bodies include the Graduate Council — an academic policy advisory board — and the Faculty Senate. While a final version of the bill has not been approved by the full session of the GPSC, the advisory committee would manage edits made to the bill by these stakeholders and then present a revised draft to the full session for approval. The bill would then be passed to the Office of General Counsel and the President Robert Shelton for official ratification. Jim Collins, a non-degree seeking graduate student, said the formation of an advisory committee would be pointless because the older council already approved a version of the bill of rights. The danger, he said, would be the bill getting trapped in a bureaucratic cycle where it may not emerge in an official form for years. “I can see how this could be a never-ending process,” Collins said.

New ‘Think Tank’ Business edits student papers tutors thousands By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Carly Kennedy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A new centralized learning center will formally showcase all that it has to offer for students, parents and faculty during an open house this Friday. The open house will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Nugent Building. The event will consist of guided tours through the building and information about tutoring services, along with presentations by Jeff Orgera, executive director of Student Academin Learning Services, and Melissa Vito, vice president of Student Affairs The “Think Tank” at the Student Academic Learning Center opened its

doors at the start of the semester, and has already served several thousand students, Orgera said. Prior to the creation of the Think Tank, there were many separate tutoring programs all over campus, for specific types of students with specific needs, which was not efficient or economical, said Student Affairs officials. Student Affairs went through a large transformation process last year, and decided to pull all the tutoring programs into one central place to make it easier for students to utilize. Combining the separate tutoring programs resulted in the first centralized learning support department on campus — like one-stop shopping for THINK TANK, page 5

A new online service started by UA students offers students a chance to improve their writing skills and earn higher grades on essays. Proof Genie, the online editing service, was founded by Josh Banayan, a business junior who co-founded the Web site with Noah Gereboff, also a business junior. These brothers in the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity worked on building the Web site over the summer and began promoting and gaining clientele six months ago, they said. “We were both interested in and had the same passion to start this Web site, and we made it happen,”Gereboff said. To use the service, a person writes an essay and submits a draft to the Web site, EDITING, page 5

FRANKFURT — The director of the world’s largest book fair said Wednesday that the selection of China as the event’s special guest should help the country move closer to the West and away from censorship and restrictions on dissent. Critics contend China is out of place at the Frankfurt Book Fair, an event where the free exchange of information and ideas on the printed page, online or by word of mouth should be encouraged at all costs. “It is important that official China take a stand on Western values and sharpen its self-awareness — and by taking a step closer to us, it also challenges us to sharpen our own self-awareness,” said Juergen Boos, director of the annual event, billed as the world’s largest book fair. The event’s previous special guests — Turkey in 2008, Korea in 2005 and the Arab World in 2004 — drew similar outcry. Some 500 events will feature themes surrounding China, roughly half of them sponsored by the Chinese culture ministry and the other half by the book fair organizers — an attempt to include critical voices as well as those backed by the Chinese government. “In hindsight, it has always been proven true that it was important and right for the Frankfurt Book Fair to provide a driving force and not to take the line of least resistance,” fair spokesman Thomas Minkus said. Among the nearly 6,900 exhibitors are 20 from Taiwan, the country that China maintains is a renegade province. A spat in September saw members of the Chinese delegation walk out of a pre-book fair symposium after two dissident writers — Dai Qing and Bei Ling — attended. Another dissident writer, Ma Jian, the author of“Beijing Coma” was long-listed for the 2009 Man Booker Prize, and is scheduled to attend the event. Ma drew from personal experiences to write his novel about the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. He said no Chinese publisher would touch “Beijing Coma” because it’s too politically sensitive. The book was published elsewhere, including the U.S. and Britain. Dagmar Yu-Dembski, who heads the Confucius Institute at the Free University of Berlin, said that while discussions about “human rights and censorship” are difficult for the Chinese government, they have learned from their experience hosting the 2008 Beijing Olympics. “I think they have learned how to deal with this situation. I think they’re also a little more open for discussion,” she said Wednesday.“Of course, they always ask for respectful dialogue at the same eye-level.” — The Associated Press

Photojournalist zooms in on the White House By Marissa Freireich Arizona Daily Wildcat

ew people besides the first family see the inner workings of the White House. But for Saul Loeb, it’s all in a day’s work. Loeb graduated from the UA in 2004 with a degree in journalism and political science. He now works as a photojournalist covering the White House and national and international news for Agence France-Presse, a major international news agency. Loeb said he likes that his job allows him to travel the world and witness major historical events. He has traveled to about 18 countries this year, including Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, France, Ghana, Egypt and Denmark. “You have to prepare for the unexpected,” he said. Loeb said he is interested in politics because it has an influence on the lives of so many people all over the world. “Every day is uniquely different. You never really know what’s going to happen,” he said. Loeb said he is able to see political figures in many different situations, which gives him an idea of their personality and how they interact with others. “You have to wait for the unscripted moments,” he said. Photographers for Agence France-Presse rotate who travels with the president because it is a demanding schedule. Loeb said he has learned to sleep on planes and deal with jet lag. Loeb said he feels fortunate to have had the chance to travel with the president on Air Force One. He called the experience“incredible.” For example, meals are served on china with the presidential seal. “It’s first class all the way,” he said.“Nothing is spared.” Originally from Phoenix, Loeb became interested in photography at the end of high school, when he began to take photographs as a hobby. Loeb is now living in Arlington, Va., and he said it is very different from Arizona, but it is a good place for his career. Loeb chose to go to school at the UA because “it was close to home, but it wasn’t ASU.” After he graduated, Loeb stayed in Tucson and worked as a freelance photographer while he tried to find a staff position. “You have to build relationships with clients and hope there’s enough work to keep you afloat,”he said. After a few months, he returned to Phoenix and freelanced there, mostly covering local news and sports for the East Valley Tribune.

He moved to Washington, D.C., in April 2007. He started freelancing for Agence France-Presse on a regular basis, which led to him becoming a full-time staffer in June 2008. During his college career, Loeb spent two summers in Washington, D.C., as an intern for the newspaper company Knight Ridder, which is now the McClatchy Tribune.

I Sites

Loeb also served as the spring 2004 editor in chief of the Arizona Daily Wildcat. He started out as a photographer for the paper. One of the major events he covered during his time at the Wildcat was a 2002 incident when a nursing school student shot three professors and then himself. “I would definitely say the

Wildcat prepared me for being a professional journalist,” Loeb said. Brett Fera, assistant managing editor for the Ahwatukee Foothills News, attended the UA and worked at the Wildcat when Loeb did. “He always had a goal to redefine news based on what the public wanted,” he said of Loeb. Fera said Loeb is very humble

about his work, but always tries to improve. “He’s very competitive in a healthy way,” he said.“He’s very much a student of what he covers.” The two are still friends today. Fera said he admires Loeb for accomplishing so much so early in his career. “He is a true artist,” Fera said.

EDITORIAL Pass/fail

The Wildcat editorial board’s verdict on this week’s most pressing issues The success of the new drop fee

At the beginning of the semester, the Office of the Registrar implemented a new drop fee to charge $25 for each course a student drops beginning the second week of classes. Beth Acree, the registrar, told the Wildcat, “The overwhelming majority of drops happened in the first week. We certainly hope they were encouraged to drop earlier than usual (because of the fee).” At first, the new fee posed some unnecessary anxiety for students. It’s unusual for a student to start the academic year without the intention of changing something in his class schedule. He may be debating adding or dropping a class, and this new fee makes this decision a bit more stressful. Regardless, the new fee policy seems to have made everything easier on both students and faculty. Acree also told the Wildcat that the lines for schedule changes in the registration office have shortened, and the money made from the fee, estimated at $134,755, will go toward more seat availability. With this new fee in mind, students seem to have made their decisions about dropping classes early in the semester, and this has freed up space for others who need that specific class. For easing up the class registration process, the new drop fee gets a pass.

No more flu vaccinations on campus

Now is an extremely inconvenient time to be sick, especially with decreasing Campus Health resources. Midterms have been and will continue to be distributed, homework loads remain demanding and students will still want to find a way to have a life outside of class. Unfortunately, we don’t recommend heavy socializing right now, at least to those who feel a sore throat developing. According to recent a Wildcat report, the set of H1N1 vaccines will arrive on campus in early November, so in the meantime, students stuck on campus cannot conveniently get any type of flu vaccination. This is particularly problematic for hall residents who have to live around hundreds of potentially sick people. Campus Health spokesperson Terri West said of the seasonal flu epidemic on campus, “It looks like we’re starting to increase again,” so Campus Health officials need to take this observation seriously and order more flu vaccinations until the release of the H1N1 vaccines next month. People are still going to catch something, and the healthy will continue to be at risk. This is an inadequate response. For failing to replenish the much-needed shots while so many people are getting sick, Campus Health gets a fail.

Who said anything about no transparency?

Want a free answer to a pressing legal question? ASUA legal adviser Susan Ferrell can tell you whatever you need to know on certain legal issues free of charge. “One of the biggest problems I see is when students are taken advantage of by their landlords,” she told the Wildcat yesterday. “Students often come to me in regards to getting back a security deposit.” The security deposit problem is one that many students are familiar with, and it’s a relief to know there’s someone willing to discuss the legality of this issue at no cost. Besides advising on landlords potentially taking advantage of students, Ferrell discusses a myriad of legal issues that students may face, and she makes herself available five days a week. For providing a necessary and helpful free service to students as well as taking a step toward transparency, ASUA gets a pass.

MAILBAG Police Beat should not identify alleged shoplifter by race

Shoplifting is inexcusable behavior as well as an inexcusable crime, and whoever is involved should face necessary consequences. With this recognition, I am writing to voice my protest and concern over the school newspaper’s identifying the alleged shoplifter as being a Chinese national. The identity of the alleged shoplifter bears no significance in reporting to the university community the crime. The specific identification of this student as coming from a particular country or belonging to a particular ethnic group only creates subconscious discrimination against ALL the people from the same group. Shoplifting happens all the time, including on this campus, and the alleged shoplifters can be from any specific group of people. In fact, most likely the shoplifting occurred on this campus and in the U.S. is committed by non-Asian or non-Chinese, but I have never seen a report in which the citizenship or the ethnic group of the alleged shoplifter is identified. In this particular case, a sensitive editor and the reporting team could have simply stated that “a student was involved in an alleged shoplifting, and was referred to the appropriate authority for action.” The purpose of Police Beat is to keep the community aware of what has been going on, but

ensure I am understood, I found the report an atrocious piece of literature that seemed quite poorly researched and based on pure speculation on your part. Much of the piece is derived from your own personal experience and does little to reflect the views of the majority of residents currently residing on campus. The experiences you drew from would not even be considered temporally legitimate in any respected publishing circles as the majority of your points rely heavily and sometimes wholly on incidents that occurred nearly three years ago when you yourself were a freshman. In fact, even the Resident Assistant Contract 2008-2009 used as a source was outdated and the points derived from this contract did not take its heavy revisions (which occurred over much of the past year) into account. This is made worse in that it shows the inadequate research done to compose this piece, for the fully revised contract for the academic year 2009-2010 is available on the Residence Life Web site under a clear and easily navigated hyperlink. I am deeply disappointed in this article and, through association, with the Daily Wildcat as a respected university publication, for deigning to publish this, dare I say it, garbage.

Columbine shooter’s mom writes essay

More than 10 years after the Columbine massacre, the mother of shooter Dylan Klebold released an essay in O, The Oprah Magazine. Some parents of Columbine victims support the message behind Susan Klebold’s essay. “It appears to me that she is doing this in hopes of preventing another suicide or another murder-suicide,” Brian Rohrbough, who lost his 15-year-old son in the Columbine massacre, told ABC News. Other parents have not had such a positive reaction to Susan’s writing, and that’s perfectly understandable. “We’ve never received a personal apology from the Harris’s or the Klebolds, and in those early days it would have meant a lot,” said Misty Bernall, mother of one of the Columbine victims. The Columbine killings took place a decade ago, yet the event remains fresh in everyone’s mind. The fear of a school shooting also affects students at the college level, especially in recent years, so Susan Klebold made a wise decision to publish her words. It seems she hopes to stop future massacres, but for further upsetting the parents of victims, the essay endeavor gets an incomplete.

not creating a situation that is not conducive and even detrimental to the study and life of people who happen to belong to the same group. It is comforting to note that in today’s (Oct. 14, 2009) Mailbag, exactly the same concern was raised regarding the release of the identity of students from a particular student organization. Indeed, this is a sensitive issue, and I am glad that we are not alone. Your editorial office owes an apology to the students and scholars from China who have nothing to do with this inexcusable behavior. As the reporting team of a widely read newspaper, not only by the UA community, but by other Tucsonans, you should have the guts to admit that the report was indiscreet, and most importantly, make your conscientious efforts to be more sensitive and prudent in the future.

columnist

ast week, a friend of mine and I went out for a drink. In the course of conversation he mentioned off-handedly that one of our other friends had“the swine,”and then proceeded to cough into his hand and shrug. Now, five days later, I’ve probably got the swine flu. My throat hurts, I feel exhausted, my skin feels weirdly hypersensitive — but I’ll never know if what I’ve got is“the swine”or not. As sick as I’ve been feeling, I don’t see the benefit of marching over to Campus Health and sitting for an hour and a half, smelling my own breath through a mask and waiting to be told to go home and get some rest. On the upside, I’ll be given a note that excuses class absences. The only part of this pretty standard college campus health center“stem the tide of influenza”contingency plan that has any real value is the aforementioned note; which I’d love to have, believe me, and sadly, I won’t be able to get that. Probably the biggest reason that I want the

note at all is that I’ve already tried to get by without one. I’ve sent placating e-mails to just about everybody whose day-to-day activity is going to be affected by my illness-induced absence. The trouble is that I feel like a liar, or at least, I feel like the potential is there for people to think I’m a liar, that I’m faking and using the newly instated“professors need to unclench on attendance”attendance policy to go knock over mail boxes with my friends. I feel like I’m taking advantage of the system by taking advantage of the system’s policies, literally — as if by actually having the swine flu I’m still culpable in some weird way for breaking the rules. As such, the e-mails to my teachers are all really long and involved, with lots of plans and assurances for staying on top of things while I’m sick in the dark isolation of my bedroom while my roommate burns everything I’ve ever touched. Here’s the problem: I’m being advised to go over to Campus Health and get a doctor’s note anyway, even though they can’t do anything for me — and I remember hearing something about Campus Health not wanting sick, flu-infected students coming in droves to the office, simply because there’s nothing to be done besides prescribe, amazingly, Codeine and Vicodin on request“to help with sleep”. But, even with that being the case, I’m

probably still going to have to go to Campus Health because professors need documentation. I’ve already been informed by one of my instructors that I’d damn well better have a doctor’s note if I plan to miss the midterm this week, and the use of any statement such as,“I’m going to miss your exam”is utterly inappropriate when describing my circumstances, in my opinion. Beyond this, the UA standards for what is and isn’t permissible, and who makes that final decision during a time of“pandemic influenza,” hints at a more troubling, even more annoying thing about college life. We’re all legal adults, paying to come here, a lot of us with jobs and separate lives, where college is in many ways a secular“job”within the much larger sphere of our day to day activity — and we still get our names called on a roll sheet. Our word still isn’t taken seriously when we’re sick, and we’re not accommodated reasonably like any other adult would be in the same circumstance. Oddly enough, this is something college, as an entity, has insisted on preparing us for — the real, adult world — but I just feel like I’m cutting third-period Spanish again. — James Carpenter is a senior majoring in creative writing.

Tutoring to expand to upper division

class help. The center consists of the writing center, math and science tutoring and peer mentoring, as well as drop-in tutoring and multiple types of workshops. All of the programs offered are available to all UA students and are entirely free, with the exception of one-on-one appointment tutoring. All the tutors are juniors, seniors or graduate students who must attend a series of workshops on how to be an effective teacher pass a certification process through the College Reading and Learning Association. The center is currently developing upper division tutoring for juniors and seniors who are in need of help with advanced courses. “That’s where we really want to go,” Orgera said. “The SALT Center and McKale both have those types of upper division tutors available — and the Think Tank can draw from the resources and make them available to the rest of the campus.” “This is really the grand opening that we never had,” said Victor Mercado, academic resource specialist for the UA.“We are hoping to raise awareness for the Think Tank, and for students, parents and faculty to realize what resources are available to them.”

Amnesty club saving world through letters By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

ed Elhourani writes a letter every Thursday afternoon with the rest of his club members in an attempt to provide justice to someone whose human rights have been abused. Amnesty International is a worldwide movement consisting of people who campaign and protest for recognition of human rights. Elhourani, a Ph.D. student in computer engineering, has been the UA branch’s club treasurer for the past two months. Their mission, he said, is to research and take action to prevent and put an end to human rights abuses, demand justice through an abundance of handwritten letters and put pressure on governments and politicians. “There are demands everywhere for amnesty in the world of human rights, everywhere people would like to have someone help them,” he said. The group deals with two to three cases every Thursday at 4 p.m. in the lobby of the Mathematics building. “I do not expect people to respond to our letters,” Elhourani said.“I am happy when I send a letter because I feel I’ve done something that will make someone’s life in the world better.” Emmanuelle Fahey, a junior majoring

in international studies and French, is in the club and said she got involved because she liked the notion of bettering human rights and she enjoys learning about current events. “Every week the first half of our meeting we write urgent action letters to political leaders,”Fahey said. ”These letters regard prisoners of conscious — people who have been detained for expressing their opinion without ever using violence.” She said most of the responses the club receives typically state that they appreciate the concern that the club has shown and that they will take their statements into consideration. Club adviser and math professor Joseph Watkins has been involved in Amnesty International for 27 years. “Most people who enjoy Amnesty are not average people,”Watkins said.“They would not give hours of their time if there wasn’t something unique about them.” Many group members find themselves doing human rights work after they graduate, he said. Watkins has seen cases where people have run nongovernmental organizations at home and abroad to help refugees. “The people are very cool and it’s a great way to learn about international current events that are important — it’s important to be knowledgeable on other countries,”Fahey said.

Ted Elhourani, treasurer of the UA branch of Amnesty International, represents his club on the steps of Old Main. Elhourani and the other members of Amnesty International at the UA spend time working on letter writing campaigns and other peaceful projects to impact the lives of those suffering from human rights violations across the globe.

Student business helps clients improve grades, overall writing

where one of five editors working for the company log in, edit the paper and then send it back to the user through the Web site, Banayan said. These editors, three of whom have Ph.D.s, mark up the essays in such a way that the user must accept any changes or omissions the editors make. “We want people to really learn from their mistakes, and not just get a revised paper back,”Banayan said. The service has a 24-hour guarantee, Banayan said. To ensure this, the editors are all located in different countries, operating in different time zones, including Kenya, India and Canada. This way, Banayan said, if someone submits a paper from the U.S. at night, someone in a different time zone will be

able to edit the paper while the submitter is sleeping and it will be ready for him in the morning. There are 120 members currently signed up with Proof Genie, with an estimated two to three members signing up each day, he said, and up to 10 pages edited daily. Proof Genie charges based on a credit system, where one page is equal to one credit. When members first sign up, they will automatically receive three free credits, or three pages. Different packages are offered to help students save money, Banayan said, such as a semester-long package for $80. Credits are purchased through the Web-based pay system Paypal using

a credit card. On an average week the business will make $200, according to Banayan’s records. Editors are paid per page, receiving half of the proceeds, Banayan said. Banayan said he devised the idea for the company after a long-term relationship with a girl who always edited his papers for him. After they broke up, he needed assistance and placed himself in the shoes of other students who might need that same help, he said. The pair was able to start the business by taking capital from credit cards and combining that with money from their own pockets, Gereboff said. Aparajita Basuroy, leading editor for the company working from Kolkata, India, said in an e-mail that she noticed

that Gereboff and Banayan had posted a job description seeking qualified English editors. “This fell directly in my area of expertise and before I knew it, we had developed a successful business relationship,”she said. Basuroy said she was drawn to the passion that Gereboff and Banayan expressed for their service. “This is a real comfortable working environment for me. I get to earn some extra cash by working at home and doing what I love,”she said. She added that the Web site is unique from any other editing services, since it targets college students, its prices are low and it has editors across the globe to ensure a“speedy”delivery time. She receives anywhere from three to

eight pages of editing daily and the numbers have been increasing, she said. Students struggle with a variety of issues, she said. “I have noticed that many students often try to extend their papers by adding unnecessary words instead of getting to the point and finding the right words. … Also, many students struggle with past and present tense congruence and often switch from one tense to the other.” Adam Weiner, a political science junior and member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said he has used Proof Genie’s services and was satisfied with the results on every occasion. “It’s only beneficial to you and your success as a writer, it will definitely improve your grade in any class,”Weiner said.

Woman runs stop sign, winds up with DUI

University of Arizona Police Department officers were on patrol on Park Avenue on Oct. 3 at approximately 11:40 p.m. when they observed a gray Nissan Frontier fail to stop at a stop sign. Police pulled out behind the Nissan and further observed that the vehicle had a non-operational taillight. Officers initiated a traffic stop and made contact with the driver who identified herself with an Arizona driver’s license. Police noticed the strong odor of intoxicants coming from the woman’s vehicle and they asked her to step outside for questioning. According to police, the woman had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and a flushed complexion. She declined a preliminary breath test and was administered field sobriety tests instead. Police determined that the woman was intoxicated and placed her under arrest for driving under the influence. She was given a mandatory breathalyzer test, which confirmed a blood alcohol content between .099 and .100. The woman was additionally cited on charges of DUI with a BAC of .08 or above, failure to stop for a stop sign and vehicle equipment not in working order. She was fingerprinted and released on scene.

Woman sleeping in parking lot winds up in Pima County Jail

UAPD officers on routine patrol on Cherry Avenue on Oct. 5 at 10:40 p.m. observed an apparently unoccupied vehicle in Lot 2147 with it’s lights still on. Police continued their patrol and returned to the lot several minutes later to find the vehicle still unoccupied with the lights still on. As officers approached the vehicle, a passenger showed her head from inside the car. The passenger identified herself verbally and told police that her wallet had been stolen and she had no other form of identification on her person. The woman apologized to officers and claimed she had been sleeping in the car. A records check of the woman revealed an outstanding Tucson Police Department warrant. Officers placed the woman into handcuffs and began a search of her vehicle. Inside the vehicle, police found a case containing four syringes and a small amount of a substance believed to be heroin. The woman was cited on charges of possession of narcotic paraphernalia. She was transported to Pima County Jail where she was booked.

Suspicious activity reported on Tumamoc Hill

UAPD officers responded to Tumamoc Hill Desert Laboratory at 1675 W. Anklam Rd. on Oct. 7 at 12:33 p.m. in reference to a report of possible narcotics activity in the area. Upon arrival, officers met with a university employee who told police that she frequently walks to work from her home nearby. While walking home on Oct. 6 at approximately 2:45 p.m., she observed a man drinking beer in the area. She also claimed that on an earlier occasion, she had noticed syringes on the ground in the same general vicinity. Officers returned to the area and were able to locate a man who admitted to drinking in the area. On the ground next to the man was a black case that he claimed belonged to him. Police asked the man if they could search the case and he agreed. Inside, officers found a glass pipe that the man admitted to using for smoking both crack and marijuana. The man was cited on charges of possession of narcotic paraphernalia. A records check also revealed that the man had two outstanding warrants issued by TPD for disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing. The man was placed into handcuffs and transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked.

Soccer Football players make ‘Diss’ song trying to move forward By Bobby Stover Arizona Daily Wildcat

Livengood and players won’t look to next season yet By Vincent Balistreri Arizona Daily Wildcat After a team meeting early Monday evening, the Arizona soccer players were stunned by the news that head coach Dan Tobias had decided to step down. With no earlier indication of the decision after the team’s 2-0 loss against UCLA, players were caught off guard by his announcement. “It was just hard. I don’t know what to say, we were all shocked; we didn’t expect it at all,” said redshirt senior Devon Wharf. “It’s really tough because he gave me an opportunity that others didn’t give me.” Tobias’ decision to step down raised many questions regarding the future of UA soccer — questions that were left unanswered. Who will be the next coach? Will the assistants be back? Will players leave? As questions linger around the future of the program, the members of the team are trying to stay in the moment. “Right now, I’m not trying to focus on next year. There is still a lot up in the air about player personnel,” said redshirt junior Macke Mutz. “We’re SOCCER, page 10

Arizona players David Roberts and Adam Gottschalk’s impact in Arizona Stadium stretches far beyond the field. Those fans in their seats early may have heard “The Pac-10 Diss Song — Arizona Tribute,” the brainchild of the two teammates and their newly created production company, D & B Productions. The song, which “disses” each Pacific 10 Conference football team aside from Arizona, has recently become a pregame tradition and is just the first of a long list of ambitions for the Wildcats players and their company. D & B Productions was born after Roberts and his cousin, Dansby Sturdivant, decided to take their mutual love of music to the next level by becoming producers. “Me and Dansby, who’s a music major, grew up together and thought this might be kind of cool to start kind of as a hobby,” Roberts said. “But then we started adding some more people and now it’s growing into a real business. “Our motto is ‘good music will always be good music’ and we want to produce it.” The company began to grow after Roberts and Sturdivant brought in their friend Brandon Betts. Because all three names began with either a D or B, the name “D & B” stuck. The trio was making headway, but the company really took off when Roberts approached Gottschalk, a business major, to join in the mix. “Roberts approached me about (the company) and I said, ‘Look, if this is something you really want to do headon I’ll do it,’” Gottschalk said.“I’m the kind of guy who can’t settle for good, it has to be the best. So when I got involved I took it pretty seriously.” With Gottschalk’s business expertise, D & B Productions finally became a legitimate company. The Arizona safety — who already had experience starting three prior companies — began his work and soon had the company licensed and ready to do business. While Gottschalk built the company’s infrastructure, the rest of the

team began work on what would be the company’s first production: the “Pac-10 Diss Song.” “David originally wanted to have a team theme song,” Gottschalk said. “So I came up with the idea to talk about (the Arizona football team’s) schedule. It’s really become the Pac-10 official theme song.” Roberts used a connection to find local artist JGIBS to do most of the vocals while Sturdivant — Dansby the Drummer Boy as he’s called in the song’s music video on YouTube — also contributed his talents, which he hones as a member of the Pride of Arizona marching band. The song, which was produced in the company’s make-shift studio in the home of Roberts and Gottschalk, has since become available on iTunes in addition to its YouTube release. Gottschalk and Roberts contributed by dispersing flyers across campus and also

hit advertising gold by getting the song played prior to all home games. “We first brought the song to the team to see what they thought, and they liked it,” said Roberts, who didn’t know how the song got into the Arizona pregame mix. “We also played it for Stoops and he said he liked it, so maybe he gave it the OK.” While Stoops confirmed those thoughts on the song, he admitted he had nothing to do with its inception into Arizona Stadium. “Officials and the music, I’m not in charge of,” Stoops said. “But I thought the song was great. They did a good job on it.” While D & B Production’s first song is slowly becoming a hit, the company founders are focusing on producing their first album – mostly rap and R&B — which features more from the previous artist as well as the singing talents

of other Arizona players, such as offensive guard Conan Amituanai. They are hoping the album will be ready next month and that soon thereafter, artists will come calling. With much of the football season remaining, the pair of Arizona teammates must make sure to balance music and football. However, with Roberts’ role in the Wildcats’ offense growing by the game, Gottschalk said his friend’s success on the football field could help the young company grow. “There’s no harm in (boosting Roberts’ involvement) as a selling point,” Gottschalk said.“We could say,‘Hey, get a free David Roberts poster,’ or something. “But as far as football we have a saying: business before pleasure. We know this team comes first so any success we have in the company will have to come after our work’s done (on the field).”

Gronkowski Speaks

Colin Darland/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona tight end Rob Gronkowski speaks to the media Wednesday about his back injury, his outlook after recovery and how he is personally handling the major setback.

Tight end said injury has been ‘very stressful’

Raising the roof

Fans create chant to help lead team to victories By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat Professional sporting events all have their own traditions. In baseball, the Atlanta Braves have the Tomahawk Chop. College football has the “Gator Bait” from the University of Florida. The NFL’s Jets have the J-E-T-S fan chant in New York. And while Arizona volleyball home games aren’t quite on the same level, they have started a fan tradition of their own. Arizona’s “roof” is a chant that has emerged from the fans in McKale Center. When a Wildcat player records a “roof” — when an opposing player hits the ball straight into a blocker’s arm and the ball hits the ground on the opponent’s side — the crowd stands up and responds with the chant “Roof, roof, roof.” “It gives them a way to interact, almost,” said junior middle blocker Stephanie Snow. “It’s a cheer that everyone can do, and it gets us pumped and I think it gets the fans excited too.” Volleyball isn’t a sport where most people would think cheering could create an advantage. But in a gym, the emotions of the spectators carry over into the emotions on the court. “It’s one of my favorite cheers, actually,” Snow said.“Especially the fan in the stands that wears a red shirt that says,‘Roof, Roof, Roof.’ He always stands up and it’s always fun to see him whenever we get a good block.” Some fans regard the roof in its techni-

cal definition, some as closing the roof on the opponent or raising the roof. And while no one really knows which definition the crowd actually chooses, the chant certainly gets the point across. “I thought it was really funny,” middle blocker Jacy Norton said. “I’ve always heard the cheer, but I didn’t even realize it was just a middle blocker thing.” For Arizona, fan-led cheers make sporting events more fun and keep the crowd in the game. The cheer officially began this year, and applies any time a middle blocker records a block. For the Arizona coaching staff, the fan interaction is a sign that people are engaged in Arizona’s play. “They just started that this year, actually,” head coach Dave Rubio said.“I think it’s all cool if it motivates the players. It gets them going and gives them a little more psychological advantage on your side.” The cheer is something the pep band, crowd and announcers can get behind. Although some home games don’t have quite the crowd of other large sporting events, the noise makes up the difference for the players on the court. For the players, the “roof” cheer is something of substance. “Considering that’s the name of our position, I feel like it means a lot to us,” Snow said.“Since it’s our position and since it’s our responsibility to block, it’s a way of presenting a defense to the other team. I take it personally.”

The Arizona football program suffered a devastating blow when junior tight end Rob Gronkowski was lost for the season with a back injury. The public was kept in the dark throughout training camp and the first few weeks of the season, unsure of whether or not Gronkowski would play this season. Head coach Mike Stoops announced during the Iowa road trip that Gronkowski would undergo back surgery and miss the remainder of the season. Arizona’s all-time leader in receptions, receiving touchdowns and receiving yards for a tight end spoke at a press conference for the first time this season Wednesday morning, covering everything from injury details to his future in football.

probably running about a six-flat 40 (yard dash). If you guys were looking at me that first day of practice I was running like one mile per hour. Then I was like, ‘This is serious.’ I went in and finally got the MRI and there was a pretty bad herniation.

Q: So what have the past two months been like for you? A: Very stressful. I had to take it slowly and I wanted to be with the team. I just didn’t know what was going to happen. I didn’t know what the future looked like for me for this season. I didn’t know if I was going to have the surgery or not. I didn’t know if I was going to rehab, so I was playing it out for a couple weeks at the beginning. It was just really stressful, (I) just wanted to be with the team.

Q: Herniated disc — were there nerve problems, too? A: Yeah, when I got the surgery they hooked me up to like the nerve thing and the doctors said my one nerve was working only 5 percent.

Q: What happened in the week leading up to the Iowa game when you practiced? A: From the beginning, I saw a lot of doctors — big time doctors — and a lot of them were saying, ‘Most likely you’re going to need the surgery.’ But a couple (of doctors) were saying ‘do the rehab’ and there was about a 25 percent chance that if I do the rehab, all the symptoms will go away, and if all the symptoms go away from rehab I can play. Obviously I wanted to be with the team, I wanted to play this season, and if I did the rehab I could get about nine to 10 games in if I was symptom free. Going into the Iowa week, I went to practice, I was feeling all right, I did my thing but (the pain) was coming back and came back right after practice. The pain was just shooting back down my legs, and the doctors said that if there’s any symptoms at all it’s not safe one bit to play. After that practice I went in and I just wanted to get the surgery done and get it over with and get to my future and be healthy. Q: What type of surgery did you have? A: I got a microdiscectomy. I had a pretty bad herniated disk. Q: How, specifically, did you injure yourself? A: I really don’t know the specifics, but it was a week before camp and I was hurting. I came back, camp started, and I didn’t say anything really until camp started. I couldn’t even move my legs anymore. All my strength was gone, my back was killing, I was

Q: How long were you in denial about whether or not this was just a bump or a bruise? A: That’s what I thought at first, but then when camp started and it cut off all of my strength in my legs — I tried to go at first and was like, ‘maybe it’s just the first day,’ because I hadn’t ran in a while and I kept going and it was just terrible. I had to go in and say something.

Q: How do you feel now? A: Right now I’m just taking it off. It’s like five weeks I can only walk around. I sit at home about eight hours a day playing video games on the recliner. I play Halo on Xbox, so my Halo skills are up — no one talks garbage to me anymore. If you want to challenge me in Halo you can come. But the first five weeks I can just walk around and do nothing. I can’t bend over, I can’t lift, I can’t twist for five weeks and then I start rehabbing. Q: Do you remember the instance when it happened? A: Not necessarily, it just came to me. I think it was just overall wear and tear from just doing everything. Q: Could you play in a bowl game, or is your season over? A: The chance of playing in a bowl game is really slim. Obviously I would love to, but would I want to take that chance? Am I healthy yet? Stuff like that. If I go out there feeling good and get hit (and get hurt again) because I’m not recovered all the way yet, why go out there and take that chance? It’s going to be a really slim chance that I play in the bowl game. Q: Do you plan to be back next year? A: I’m going to definitely look into it and look into the NFL.You have to always look at that option — I mean it’s there, you have to look at it, it’s a big career opportunity. But if I don’t like what I get back and all of that, I’m definitely going to come back (to Arizona). But if (the NFL) is looking solid like I would hope it to, you definitely have to look at that and weigh your GRONK, page 12

Assistant: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it comingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

just trying to stay positive and finish the season on a high note.â&#x20AC;? As many questions will probably go unanswered until the end of the season, the Wildcats are trying to deal with their situation and focus on the remaining seven games of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were surprised, but our reaction was that we need to move forward and go with what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given,â&#x20AC;? said Mutz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sad to see Dan go, we respect what he did for this program but we still have seven games and we want to keep our focus on the season.â&#x20AC;? Assistants Lisa Oyen and John Galas have been named co-interim head coaches, and the team appears to be comfortable with the pair taking on the new role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even call them assistant coaches because from day one it felt like all three coaches were head coaches,â&#x20AC;? Wharf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John would work with the goalkeepers and Lisa would split the field players with Dan. It definitely was a team effort coaching-wise.â&#x20AC;? The future of both co-interim head coaches is up in the air depending on who is named the next

head coach, but both remain focused on the task at hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing on these girls, this program and preparing them for Friday,â&#x20AC;? Galas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not looking past tomorrow, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our mentality right now. We will discuss the future of our roles in this program at the appropriate time, but right now our focus is solely on these girls.â&#x20AC;? Oyen was named associate head coach before the beginning of the season and took on a larger role in practices even before Tobias decided to step down. Oyen perhaps knew Tobias better than anyone in the program, working as an assistant under him for eight and a half years after following him to Arizona from Washington State. She acknowledged it was tough on her to see him leave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it coming,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is someone I have a ton of respect for and have worked with for a variety of years on the professional level so it is difficult.â&#x20AC;? Though both Galas and Oyen will have new roles as co-interim head coaches, players shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to see any drastic changes to how they

move forward the rest of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are familiar with the personalities and abilities of the group, so there is no need to make changes because there is a good foundation in place,â&#x20AC;? Oyen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen where the kids are successful so we will focus on that so we can find success with them.â&#x20AC;? Though Tobias has stepped down from his position, the assistants wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to ask him for advice if they need it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in this coaching profession for a long time and has a wealth of knowledge and if (Oyen) and I need to pick his brain we certainly have that resource,â&#x20AC;? Galas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because he stepped down for personal reasons doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a part of our lives and community.â&#x20AC;?

What happens next season?

Athletic Director Jim Livengood said Wednesday that the team will not begin its coaching search until after the soccer season comes to a close. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in the mode to look for a head coach,â&#x20AC;? Livengood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our job right now is to do the very best job in these last seven games for our gals.â&#x20AC;?

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis back to Calif. By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat

Six Wildcats will be representing the Arizona menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis team at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association West Regional Tournament in Malibu, Calif. Competing for the Wildcats this weekend will be seniors Andres Arango, Ravid Hazi and Pat Metham; juniors Andres Carrasco and Geoff Embry; and sophomore Jason Zafiros. Zafiros will be playing his first match since the prestigious ITA AllAmerican Championships last week in Tulsa, Okla., where he went 1-1. In Malibu, Zafiros hopes to play deeper in the tournament where he can match up against the best competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get as many matches as I wanted to in Tulsa. My goal this weekend is to get as deep into the draw as possible,â&#x20AC;?Zafiros said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m playing great tennis right now so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking to get some wins this weekend so that I have more confidence going forward.â&#x20AC;? Zafirosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attitude is mirrored in those of his teammates and coach. As the tennis squad inches closer to the start of team play in the spring, these tournaments serve as opportunities for players to fine-tune their games. Head coach Tad Berkowitz explained that this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament has some of the top tennis programs with players in competition, including Pacific 10 Conference rival and defending national champion USC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in one of the toughest regions in the country,â&#x20AC;? Berkowitz said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You obviously have USC and the host Pepperdine is always tough,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what we got. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good test for our guys to see where we match up.â&#x20AC;? All players at the event are in one main draw, with matches beginning today and continuing through Sunday.

W-tennis focuses on planning

With no matches this weekend, the Arizona womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis team will work to stay sharp at practices in preparation for next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Intercollegiate Tennis Association West Regionals. A two-week hiatus from matches has head coach Vicky Maes looking for ways to keep the team playing at the highest level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This week, the team focused on consistency and confidence,â&#x20AC;? Maes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though our results have been quite good so far this fall, some of the girls are struggling with executing their game plans in matches.â&#x20AC;? The Wildcats have played representative tennis against good talent this fall, including sophomore Natasha Marks, who won three matches last week at the All-American Championships in Los Angeles. Assistant coach Ryan Stotland notices the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive attitude as they strive to get better, which will hopefully result in success at next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know all of the girls are excited for it and are ready for it right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in the meantime, they are enjoying their preparation for it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want each and every person to do exceptionally well,â&#x20AC;?Stotland added.

Schupan, Capobianco back Veterans reclaim key influence By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat Many athletes play through injuries, but only a select few are able to perform at the level that Icecat veterans Jordan Schupan and Austin Capobianco did last weekend at the American Collegiate Hockey Association Showcase. Simply taking the ice at less than 100 percent is one thing, but ripping the net for seven combined goals only a week removed from pneumonia shouldn’t go unnoticed. Two weeks ago Schupan and Capobianco were unsure if they would be able to make the trip to last weekend’s showcase. At one point, walking and breathing were a constant struggle. The two upperclassmen missed the ASU series and were unable to partake in any demanding exercise for the better part of three weeks due to their bout with pneumonia. But they recovered, at least enough to battle through 180 minutes of some of the ACHA’s best hockey. “Overall I am definitely looking forward to the rest,” said an exhausted Capobianco. “Being without vigorous exercise for almost three weeks definitely plays its toll on your body.” Capobianco claimed he was playing the first game of the showcase at about 75 percent, and ended the showcase at about 90 percent. Schupan, who is also an asthmatic, felt he was at about 85 percent health for the majority of the three games. “After the second game I was struggling, so drained,” Schupan said. “But hey, we made it through the weekend.” This duo did much more than just make it through the weekend. Schupan, one of the team’s three captains, finished the tournament with eleven points, including one six-point effort and a fivepoint game. This scoring barrage was nothing new for the junior forward who posted 39 points on 22 goals and 17 assists in only 21 games last season. He started his season right where he left off, scoring one goal and assisting four in the first game of the showcase.

GOLF BRIEF

Wildcats JV team finishes tournament in sixth place The UA women’s golf junior varsity squad carded a final round 300 to wrap up a three-round 899, 35-over-par at Price’s Give ‘Em Five Intercollegiate in Las Cruces, N.M. The Wildcats ended day three in the same place they started — sixth. The Wildcats were only four strokes behind third at the end of day two, but a finalround 300 kept them at a standstill. Sophomore Nikki Koller was a bright spot for the ’Cats, finishing the tournament tied for sixth place — her highest finish in her brief Wildcat career. She carded a finalround 72 and a three-round total of 219, 3-over-par. Freshman Kyndall Ardoin tied for 14th, firing a 223, 7-over-par in

options. But I have no clue what’s going to happen. First off, I’m just trying to get healthy. It all depends if I recover well or if I don’t recover well.

Senior defenseman Austin Capobianco handles the puck on Dec. 5, 2008 against ASU at the Tucson Convention Center. Capobianco and fellow veteran Jordan Schupan returned after bouts of pneumonia that held them out of two ASU games this season.

Schupan, like Capobianco, finished the last game of the showcase with the all-impressive playmaker — three goals and three assists. “I really didn’t have my legs, so I didn’t have the speed that is a big part of my game,”Schupan said.“Fortunately my passing and shot were there so I was able to help out.” In addition to his poor health, Schupan hadn’t practiced with any of his line mates, freshmen Scott Willson and Brian Slugocki. But the trio was lethal, responsible for 11 of the team’s 17 goals throughout the tournament. “We really just clicked,”Schupan said of the line. “It took about one shift. We really were able to find each other and use each other on the ice.” While Schupan is expected to produce in the goal-scoring department, Capobianco’s offensive output was an added bonus for the Icecats. The defenseman scored half of his 20082009 season total in one game. “It was kind of surreal,” Capobianco

said.“I just didn’t realize, after the third one went in I was like ‘I think that was my first hat trick.’ Also to get three assists on top of that is kind of unique in itself.” Capobianco posted his first hat trick as an Icecat in game three of the showcase. The senior defenseman also added three assists in the game, giving him his first playmaker of his career. Schupan and Capobianco’s offensive explosions were certainly exciting, but the two are more preoccupied with the idea of getting healthy and seeing what this Icecats team can do. “We’re just looking forward to getting back to 100 percent and seeing where we can go with this team,” Schupan said. “Now we’re just kind of putting all of the pieces together.” “We have potentially three lines that could all be serious threats,” Capobianco added. “That’s something that in four years I have never been a part of.”

her second career collegiate event. Fellow freshman Marie Tschida competed in her first event as a Wildcat, but it was not a memorable one. The German native placed 64th and ended the tournament at 234, 18-over-par. Senior Emily Mason finished in 32nd, firing a 226, 10-over-par. Sophomore Ashley Malaska struggled to an 81st place finish with a total of 240, 24-over-par. The first-place finish went to the University of Idaho by way of an 871, 7-over-par. Individual honors went to San Diego State’s Christine Wong, who destroyed the field with a 206, 10-under-par. —Mike Schmitz

Q: What would make you decide to go to the NFL? A: It would definitely have to be the first round (of the NFL Draft), or else I won’t go. Q: What’s it like watching UA on TV? A: It’s kind of brutal. I want to be out there really bad. Everyone in the program took a hit (when I got hurt) but people don’t understand that it hit me the most. I thought that this was going to be my season, the team’s season. I thought we were going to make it to the ‘Big House,’ I wanted to be with the team to make it to the Rose Bowl this year. I was preparing myself in the summer really hard, I was ready to get out there, I was ready to lead the team. And then it took a big hit. People don’t understand, I might not show it, but I feel it. It’s brutal, it’s hard to watch the games and it’s hard to be there with the team because I just want to be out there the whole time. Especially with my brother, it’s his last year and I wanted to play with him. Q: Did you have to stay overnight after the surgery? How was that? A: Yeah I stayed overnight for one

night. It was all right, the nurses were nice to me (laughs). Q: Has this experience made you appreciate being healthy? A: Yeah, it makes me appreciate this game a lot. I’m going to be hungry when I come back out.You can see how you can just have the game taken away from you. When I get back I’m going to appreciate every moment. Always going to be working hard, never going to take a day off, I can just tell. Q: How have your teammates been toward you throughout the process? A: All the guys that had surgeries — they understand, I’ve become closer with those guys. Now I feel what they felt. Vaughn Dotsy, in high school, had the same surgery so I’ve talked to him a lot and I play video games with him a lot now. A lot of players come up to me, it builds a relationship like they show they care for you. That’s definitely a team. Q: What’s your impression of what Nick Foles has done here in the last couple games? A: Very good, I knew he could do that. I could just tell in practice, me and him always had a connection going especially in the summer. He was throwing me a lot of fades in 7-on-7 and (the ball) was always there. I knew he was going to be this kind of quarterback. He’s definitely legit.
