Giffords, Kelly to duke it out at UA By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ASUA’s latest effort to ramp up voting excitement brings a political debate to campus. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona have organized a debate between candidates for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District on campus in the Student Union

Memorial Center ’s Grand Ballroom at 7 p.m. today. This comes on the heels of their first sponsored debate, held at the Pima Community College Desert Vista Campus on Wednesday. Incumbent Democrat Gabrielle Giffords and challengers Republican Jesse Kelly and Libertarian Steve Stoltz have all agreed to participate.

“It’s really important to be able to provide opportunities like this for students,” said ASUA President Emily Fritze. “For students who know they are going to vote, it will be really accessible on campus.” Fritze, who played a pivotal role in bringing the debates to campus, said it is vital for students to get involved with those who are slated to

represent them. “It shows that students really care about elections and who is representing them,” she said. ASUA collaborated with Arizona Public Media, the Arizona Students’ Association, the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Cox Communications to bring the debate to campus. ASUA, page 3

Students shed light on solar Club looks to bring power panels, green awareness to the UA

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Solar Cats began as a small group of students working to get solar panels on their dorm. Now, they have broader goals. Led by their adviser John Pollard, director of general chemistry and

biochemistry, Solar Cats began in 2008 as six students — not even enough to be considered a club — who wanted to put solar panels on the roof of Posada San Pedro Residence Hall. Now the group is primarily student-led with their original aim closer to reality and their membership at about 20.

Solar Cats has expanded their aims to educate the community about sustainability and solar power and has been asked by the Honors College to create a sustainability mural and a solar-powered gazebo. “It’s grown a lot and the people who started out with it

pretty much all of them are still with it, which for me is impressive because that means all of them felt that it was important enough, with their lives changing and school getting harder as they get older, they still made the time SOLAR CATS, page 3

As students begin priority registration, UAccess still has some kinks to work out. Some of the problems arise from the system attempting to implement the UA’s course repetition policy. The policy bars a student from retaking a course they have received an “A” or a “B” in without special permission, or from attempting a course more than twice. An attempt is defined as any time a student receives a grade for their participation in class, including a W for withdrawing. “The change that is occurring is with the new system, there’s more accuracy in the counting of course repeats and the displaying of that information on the transcript as well as in the ability to configure the system to stop somebody from repeating a course that is invalid,” said Beth Acree, the UA Registrar. Acree said there are still some issues with making UAccess reflect UA policy. “We’re still kind of working out some of these policy issues and tweaking things to reflect what the (UA Undergraduate Council) wants to have happen,” Acree REGISTRATION, page 3

UA helps homeless at Casa Maria Students volunteer with Newman Center to provide aid for community shelter By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT By 8:15 a.m. on Mondays and Thursdays, some students are already in their cars, pulling out of the parking lot of the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center at the UA, on their way to feed the homeless at Casa Maria, a Catholic worker community. Located about two miles south of the university, many people in southern Tucson depend on Casa Maria for food, clothes and showers. Krista Bolin, a UA physiology senior, helps minister at the Newman Center and became aware of Casa Maria, 401 E. 26th St., her sophomore year after participating in an alternative spring break trip to Chiapas, Mexico. After learning about the social and economic injustices in Mexico, she began volunteering at Casa Maria.

Bolin described her move from Phoenix to Tucson as a “culture shock,” particularly on campus and Fourth Avenue. “On campus, it’s like a bubble,” she said. “People are privileged to go to school, while Casa Maria is a different world — people go there to get their next meal. “I think everyone has had an encounter on Fourth Avenue or somewhere with a poor person, but there’s a different reality when you see them at Casa Maria,” Bolin said. “I never realized it until I went.” According to the city data report, the estimated median household income in South Tucson was $18,492 in 2008. The rest of the state was at $50,958. Volunteer Matthew Campbell graduated from the UA in May and said the reason he volunteers is “to expose people to issues of social justice and to look at HOMELESS, page 5

Pope canonizes first Australian saint, 5 others Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed Australia’s first saint on Sunday, canonizing a 19th-century nun and also declaring five other saints in an open-air Mass attended by tens of thousands. Chants of “Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi Oi!” echoed throughout St. Peter’s Square as a raucous crowd of flag-and-balloon-carrying Australians used a traditional sports cheer to celebrate the honor bestowed on their late native, Mary MacKillop. In Sydney, huge images of the nun were projected onto the sandstone pylons of the iconic Sydney

Harbor Bridge. Speaking in Latin on the steps of St. Peter’s Basilica, Benedict solemnly read out the names of each of the six new saints, declaring each one worthy of veneration in all the Catholic Church. “Let us be drawn by these shining examples, let us be guided by their teachings,” Benedict said in his homily, delivered in English, French, Italian, Polish and Spanish to reflect the languages spoken by the church’s newest saints. A cheer had broken out in the crowd when MacKillop’s name was announced earlier in the

Mass, evidence of the significant turnout of Australians celebrating the humble nun who was excommunicated for a few months in part because her religious order exposed a pedophile priest. Even more MacKillop admirers — an estimated 10,000 — converged Sunday at the Sydney chapel where she is buried and at Sydney’s Catholic cathedral, where a wooden cross made from floorboards taken from the first school that MacKillop established was placed on the steps.

Today’s Birthday Let this be the year when you accept romance into your life. This does not have to involve heavy spending. Romance thrives when you take the time to include your partner in your adventures and follow lucky impulses. Travel may figure in your plans. Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 7 — New ideas stimulate imagination and produce intelligent activity. Your partner naturally fits into a social group and acts as host. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 6 — Others seem happy enough to handle their own quests at work. Accept guidance from an elder whose logic is impeccable. Celebrate with someone tonight. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 5 — This is no time to try to achieve total organization. In fact, if you allow things to come apart, you see where more work is needed. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) — Today is a 6 — Problems at work occupy you and distract from dealing with family matters. Express your doubts out loud, so others understand. Then you can focus. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — Establish a reservoir of ideas for future use. Not every day is filled with great inspirations like today. Don’t bother to seek agreement. Just write it all down. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 — Apply your imagination and give your selfesteem a boost at the same time. Let others fret about how the details come together. Make a payment.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — Don’t jump to conclusions. What first looks like a massive change resolves into workable alternatives. A nearby clown lightens the atmosphere. Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — Someone you know falls head over heels in love. This has been a long time coming. Keep an appropriate distance as you congratulate them both. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) — Today is a 5 — Your best bet today is to act as though everything’s proceeding exactly as planned. Roll with any punches and reserve comments for later (or never). Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — Create your own agenda early in the day and pursue it diligently. Others fret about details. Stay out of that discussion, if possible. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — Business matters cause circular thinking when you don’t immediately perceive a solution. Take a break for a phone call and come back to it. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) — Today is a 6 — Most of your efforts flow smoothly today to produce desired outcomes early. Try to contact an absent team member to get their approval.

Student government sponsors second debate of election cycle

Christopher Conover from Arizona Public Media will lead the questioning panel, which includes local journalists and student representatives like Fritze. “It’s an honor,” Fritze said of the position. After working to bring the debate to campus, she was excited when approached to be on the panel.

SOLAR CATS

No signs with sticks are allowed at the debate. For students or other community members who can not attend the debate, Arizona Public Media plans to air the proceedings live on PBS-HD Channel 6, NPRKUAZ 89.1FM/1550AM as well as streaming online at the Arizona Public Media website.

As club grows, so do its ambitions

to participate in it,” said Katherine Weingartner, Solar Cats president and public administration junior. The Honors College mural will be on the back wall of the Slonaker House, which houses the UA Honors College, and will border a garden that the members of the college will be planting. The Honors College has funding that will cover the price of the gazebo and Solar Cats will fund the lighting and solar panels. The group attracts students from different majors, from an art minor who is designing the mural and the group’s logos to students who hope to go into green jobs one day. “I just kind of got caught up by the innovation,” said Steven Henglefelt of his participation in Solar Cats. Henglefelt, a physiology junior, has been with the project since its inception and now manages the club’s recruitment and retention efforts. “This is a chance to be a part of something that has never been done before — panels get on the building, gazebo gets set up — that will be on campus long after we are there, so it’s like that legacy,” Henglefelt said. Kellie Goodlet, Solar Cats director of education and outreach and a microbiology senior, describes the reactions from the community as “really warm.” “They want to see this solar energy happen,” Goodlet said. She has also been with the project from the beginning and describes the students’ drive as her motivation.

Fritze also said she would take student question suggestions either through her blog postings or by email, so that her questions will most accurately represent the ideas of the student body. Doors for the event will open at 6 p.m. and close 15 minutes before the debate begins. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Solar Cats, an eco-friendly club, meet in the Engineering building on Thursday. The Solar Cats are currently working to put solar panels on dorms.

In addition to making the campus more sustainable, the dorm solar panel project will be used for research. The group is planning to have a monitoring system allowing students to measure the output of energy by the panels. Goodlet says everyone was excited to research and it never felt like it wouldn’t happen. “Students here would be able to use that as a lab to gain handson experience about the industry,” Weingartner said. Weingartner said it is difficult to say how long it will be until the panels go up because engineering

and cost estimates are still being compiled. Once the club finds out the amount, they plan to request funding through the Green Fund Committee. According to Weingartner, university administration is excited about solar panels going on the dorm. “They want a student group to be involved,” Weingartner said. “I think that speaks very highly of our administration because not every college campus administration is so enthusiastic about students getting involved, or they say they are but they don’t necessarily do it. But I think U of A really makes sure that students have a say in it.”

UAccess allows some students to repeat courses, contrary to policy

said. “The system was configured in a way that tried to match the policy as closely as possible but, while the system has new capabilities, there are some consequences that are different than we’ve had in the past.” Acree’s sentiment is shared by Mary Myles, a student majoring in Spanish and marketing, who is a member of the Undergraduate Council and a senator in the Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate. “Overall I think they’ve done as good a job as they can,” Myles said. “The overall purpose of the policy is good, but there are still some kinks to work out.” According to data collected by the Undergraduate Council, which helps determine policy of this nature, 1,369 students attempted a course more than twice from the 2004 fall semester to the same semester in 2008. This is still significantly lower than the 23,773 students who attempted a class twice during that same time period. From fall 2004 through spring 2007, there were 12,692 instances where a student dropped at least one class five weeks into the semester. Under the UA’s course repetition policy dropping a course after five weeks counts as one of the two times a student can attempt the same course. UAccess also has some issues blocking students from registering for a course they have already received an “A” or “B” in, according to Tom Bourgeois, the implementation

LOS ANGELES – IHOP has served up a federal lawsuit against a church, alleging International House of Prayer is violating its trademark. The suit asks International House of Prayer to stop using “IHOP” and similar phrases, and seeks to have the court give the Web address ihop. org to the restaurant chain. Officials at the church, based in Kansas City, Mo., declined to comment. In a statement, church officials said they were aware of the lawsuit and reviewing the claims. IHOP spokesman Patrick Lenow said it is unusual for the Glendale, Calif.-based company to file a lawsuit but that it wants to protect the assets of its

director for the Mosaic Project. While ideally the system would automatically block a student attempting to register, as it does when attempting to register for a class a third time, UAccess does not explicitly bar students from registering for courses they have already received satisfactory grades in, though it will often display a warning telling students they may be registering for a restricted course. This could lead to erroneous grade point average calculation and credit counting. Acree, though, said UAccess is much

better at accurately tracking these policies than the previous system. “In the old system, we considered the (Degree Audit Report System) to be the accurate representation of the coursework, and now in our new system both the degree audit and what’s displayed in the new system match,” she said. Bourgeois also expressed confidence that the system would be able to match UA policy soon, and in the meantime, both he and Acree recommended that students meet often with their advisers to avoid potential problems.

1,500 locations and the 350 franchisees who own most of them. “It is certainly not our intent to harm International House of Prayer,” said International House of Pancakes spokesman Patrick Lenow. “We do think there is confusion out there. A simple Google search supports that.” In addition to protecting the trademark, Lenow said the company does not want to leave its customers with the impression that it supports a particular church or faith. “We support freedom of religion, and we wouldn’t want improper use of our name to support one faith over the others,” he said. Before filing the lawsuit, Lenow said, the company contacted church officials numerous times asking them

to stop. “They refused,” Lenow said. The lawsuit points out that the first International House of Pancakes — part of Glendale-based DineEquity Inc. — opened in Los Angeles in 1958, and the first ad campaign using the term “IHOP” was launched in 1973. The church was founded in 1999, according to its website. The site notes that the phrase “house of prayer” appears in the Old Testament, and it refers to the Kansas City church as IHOP-KC. Lenow said the restaurant company seeks no money from the church aside from litigation costs and merely wants it to stop using the phrase in all its forms. “I hope this reaches an amicable conclusion,” Lenow said. “We just want to end the confusion.”

Obama right to recognize academic merit Storm Byrd Arizona Daily Wildcat

T

he White House will hold a student science fair today to recognize student achievements in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. President Barack Obama announced the fair in 2009 as part of his Educate to Innovate campaign, and now the idea will come to fruition. The event will honor students for achievements in basic research and those with new inventions. When this event was initially announced, Obama made reference to the fact that countless Super Bowl, World Series and collegiate athletic champions have been honored in years past and it’s time to recognize academics too. The event, while arguably long overdue, is admirable nonetheless. For far too long this country has emphasized the greatness of athletic achievements and reserved academic achievements for the cover of magazines that usually only the academic community reads. For a country where nearly every state fails to pass national education standards, we sure do know how to recognize the fastest, strongest and most athletically talented, while pushing the scholars to the side. Nobody wants to downplay the absolute talent that our nation’s athletes have; they deserve all the acclaim they receive. Nonetheless, it’s time to shine the light on and publicize those who deserve it but are forced to the back of the line.

I’m sure that each and every one of these students is happy to get an ‘A’ on their assignment and receive the applause of their instructors, but acknowledging them with a visit to the White House not only effectively applauds them for their academic efforts, it adds validity to their breakthroughs.

As an avid sports junkie, I love the idea of the New Orleans Saints, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Lakers or any other sports champion being honored at the White House. However, as an academic, I wouldn’t mind seeing a flood of collegiate students on the White House lawn. Think of the sheer excitement that some of these students will feel. I’m sure that each and every one of these students is happy to get an “A” on their assignment and receive the applause of their instructors, but acknowledging them with a visit to the White House not only effectively applauds them for their academic efforts, it adds validity to their breakthroughs. No matter what you do, it is always much more satisfying when those outside your own personal circle recognize you, your tireless efforts and your results. Regardless of personal political feelings, this is a great idea produced by the Obama administration. Not only does this pay respect where necessary, it can only help to perpetuate the academic ferocity seen in today’s youth. Before we can expect academia to become prominent in American values, we must truly assert with whole heart its importance. Yes, athletic achievements are amazing, but they are in no way to overshadow the intellect of this country. There’s no reason why the two cannot share the stage. Obama may have said it best: “If you win the NCAA championship, you come to the White House. Well, if you’re a young person and you produce the best experiment or design, the best hardware or software, you ought to be recognized for that achievement too.” The only foreseeable problem with this event is what the top students will present Obama with. The athletic team usually presents the president with a personalized jersey. So what will the winning student give him? I’m sure America’s best and brightest can figure something out. — Storm Byrd is a political science sophomore.

MAILBAG Minimum wage hurts, not helps, working class

Nyles Kendall’s perspective presented in his column “Republicans out of touch with working class” shows the ignorance of those who don’t bother to even examine opposing views. The staggering lack of thought put into Nyle’s perspective that some Republicans favor no minimum wage, therefore they hate working class people, is mind-blowing. The fantasyland liberals live in is one where bosses, ever-dressed like the Monopoly guy, smoke cigars and think of ways to screw poor people. The minimum wage, in fact, hurts the working class. Ask the cashiers who have been replaced by kiosks due to the rising minimum cost of labor. To take one more visit to fantasyland; when the minimum wage is raised, employers don’t lament the loss of negligible profits to despised workers, they lament the firings they can’t avoid due to the forced increase in the cost of labor. A higher cost per worker means the same labor budget gets split between fewer workers. Some labor isn’t worth $10 per hour, and when you’re forced to pay $10 for something that’s only worth $8 or less, you find an alternative. Failing to realize this is what’s “out of touch with the working class.” Michael T. Reed Engineering undergraduate

Duke ‘thesis’ offers important commentary on feminism I enjoyed reading (Mallory Hawkins’) recent perspective regarding Karen Owen

(“Dear ‘Promiscuous girl’”). As a husband of a professional woman and a father of two young girls, I am, by necessity, a feminist. But, being 44 years old, I am also an old-style romantic. I find it a little sad that sex has become just a fun, rigorous activity for so many young people, lacking some of the emotional attachment. I imagine that many people are mortified about the Duke thesis, whether it be because these things happened, or that it was exposed on a national scale (the principals involved, Ms. Owen’s family and those of the men she ranked in her thesis). However, I do see a silver lining of Ms. Owen’s pain. This incident has brought about greater awareness on the issues of sex and feminine empowerment. It raises good questions as to how we view each other and how we relate to each other as men and women. As a father, I truly hope Ms. Owen is not too hard on herself. This was a private documentation of her private life, never meant to be perused by the public. While there is pain with the disclosure, I am sure it will dissipate over time. Greater knowledge, debate and understanding of the broader social issues will be the legacy of the thesis. Krister D. Johnson St. Cloud, Minn.

Bible condemns homosexuality, not homosexuals After taking Johnny McKay’s challenge to “Read St. Paul, not Rev. Phelps,” I discovered that, indeed, Paul unambiguously condemns homosexuality (Romans 1:24-27), even going so far as

to say that those who do not repent of it will not “inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). In fact, most theologians agree that the Bible denounces homosexuality; those who affirm it simply deny the authority of the Bible. But it’s egregious to suggest that Christians who stand on Biblical grounds and reject homosexual behavior have any solidarity whatsoever with the socalled “Rev.” Fred Phelps who is, in fact, a colossal bigot. Paul (along with Christ himself) envisions a Christianity that “loves our neighbor” while at the same time, denying the legitimacy of their lifestyle. If Jesus ate with “tax collectors and sinners” without affirming their behavior, his people should follow suit. True, biblical Christianity has always taught that marriage and sex are good and beautiful only in the context of marriage between one man and one woman. But Christians also understand themselves to be those who are naturally inclined to rebel against and be indifferent toward the One in whose image they are made. Even “socially acceptable” sins such as greed, pride and gossip are included in what Paul condemns in Romans 1. We are all guilty. But Christ receives all who will transfer their identity from themselves and their own appetites over to Christ alone. Christians understand that they are big sinners who have an even bigger Savior, and it makes us compassionate and loving toward others, even those whose beliefs and lifestyles are contrary to scripture. Rev. Darin M. Stone UA alumnus, class of 1999

Favre’s folly far from unique Brett Haupt

obe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Tiger Woods and Roger Clemens. You want more? Babe Ruth, Karl Malone, Wilt Chamberlain, Steve McNair and now Brett Favre. All allegedly adulterers. If I were to type out all the professional athletes who have participated in extramarital sexual activity, I’d be typing for a long time. Brett Favre is at the center of the current controversy, which stems from Favre’s stint with the New York Jets in 2008, during which he apparently sent inappropriate pictures of himself to female members of the Jets staff and repeatedly made sexual advances toward those staffers. The fact that the advances were denied is of great fortune to everyone involved. Temptation rarely goes without action. Favre is the latest in what seems to be an ever-increasing collection of professional athletes getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar. The lifestyles of professional athletes — many days spent on the road, fame and a culture of sexual escapades — is too much for the athletes to resist in many cases. Let’s be clear: Infidelity isn’t more

common today than it has been in the past, but athletes, and all public figures for that matter, should be warned that cheaters are getting caught more now than ever. Emails, phone calls, text messages, social networks and the ever-present videos have created a media-enriched culture that provides caught-you-in-theact evidence that didn’t exist 10 years ago. Plus, the price of fame is always steep. Any Joe Schmo can have an affair and even if he is caught, rarely is he held accountable. Meanwhile, Brett Favre texts pictures of his genitals to members of the Jets staff and the whole nation is aghast. Who doesn’t have an affair in pro sports? Brett Favre, his fans hoped. He was one of the most wholesome figures we had in football, a 20-year starter quarterback with more career records than you could shake a stick at. How could he? Or, how couldn’t he? Temptations abound; who can resist? Sexual drive, when given the opportunity, proves to be a stronger persuasion than any promises, rings or preconceived societal notions of faithfulness. Human nature is flawed and professional sports are the perfect

stage to exploit this. We all can say what we will about how disappointed we are in the actions of these athletes, but would we be any different in their position? It takes a supremely confident and secure person to resist even a portion of the temptations that are thrown at or pursued by these athletes. Are any of us this strong? At the end of the day, we need to recognize these athletes for what they are: physical role models, not examples of personal conduct. The division must be made and expectations off the field must be kept in check. If you’re looking for role models in the home, look to the old couple next door that has been married for 60 years, not to your favorite sportsman. Many athletes have recovered from unfaithful actions and media blitzes upon their character, most notably Kobe Bryant, and my suspicion is that Tiger Woods will be just fine. We love to hear these stories — they make us feel better about our own uneventful lives — but if the athletes keep winning, eventually nobody cares. Brett Favre is paid for one thing: throwing the football. Keep throwing touchdowns, keep winning games and he can keep “sexting” women. We won’t care. Let’s just not confuse athletes with role models anymore. — Brett Haupt is a journalism junior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

poverty, not just through the lenses of the news or statistics in class, but to see it face to face.” He said getting people involved in local politics is important. “We work with people to register to vote and get them involved with decisions being made just two miles away,” Campbell said. Because he lives in a house across the street from Casa Maria, he sees people sitting on his front steps every morning. He does not look at them as homeless, but as brothers and sisters, “Just because they don’t have jobs, doesn’t make them any less worthy of love,” he said. “That’s exactly what Casa Maria tries to do — love and create justice.” Casa Maria distributes about 500 to 600 lunches and 150 to 200 family food bags per day, according to Brian Flagg, who has lived and worked at Casa Maria since 1983. Flagg said Casa Maria is also focusing on the Sun Tran bus system because many of the people who come to Casa Maria rely on it. “To persecute them by raising prices or cutting routes is sinful, when you have all the wealth that we have in this community,” Flagg said. “We are not gonna be poor and without papers and get run over by the rich guys. Screw that, there is still democracy in this country.” Flagg said he has a great respect for the students from the Catholic Newman Center who come and make sandwiches twice a week. He said the future is the youth and they are serious about living out the teachings of their faith. Chris Imperial, 44, has been homeless for 18 years and enrolled in the program 10 days ago. He said he chose the center because it helps you look for work. “I chose that shelter for that reason, I don’t like to be broke,” Imperial said. “I don’t wanna be homeless for the rest of my life.” Imperial grew up in Tucson and never went to school but had a job in landscaping before he was homeless. When his company went out of business, he lost his job and has been struggling to find work since. “They treat you well at the shelters. Casa Maria gives you clean clothes and they do laundry for you,” he said. “They really take care of you.” He said is grateful for the students he sees making sandwiches and helping. Lurlene Johnson says she is at Casa Maria as soon as the doors open in the morning. She has been going there for the past eight years and is the only member of her family who needs to go for food.

Indignant drinker delivered ‘downtown’

A man was arrested on charges of drinking in public and possession of paraphernalia on Oct. 9. He was transported and booked into Pima County Jail by officers from the Tucson Police Department. A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the UA Mall to assist an officer from the Marana Police Department at 5 p.m. The MPD officer was dealing with an individual who he arrested for drinking in public. When the UAPD officer arrived, multiple warnings had already been given to all tailgating participants that they were no longer allowed to consume alcohol on the Mall because of UA policy which prohibits alcohol consumption after the start of a football game. The participants were warned that police would be conducting a final sweep of the area and anyone found still consuming alcohol would be subject to arrest. The MPD officer said that during his final sweep, he saw a man with no UA affiliation holding an open beer. The officer told the man that he needed to get rid of the beer and that he was not allowed to be drinking. The man took another drink from his beer after being issued a second warning from the officer. The officer placed the man under arrest for consuming alcohol in public. The man was taken to a TPD transport unit, where he was transported and booked into Pima County Jail. While conducting a search, the oficer found a black glass pipe with marijuana resin in the man’s right pant pocket. A silver grinder covered with suspected marijuana flakes was also found in his back pocket. The paraphernalia was placed into UAPD property. The man was additionally charged with possession of paraphernalia. He was transported and booked into Pima County Jail by TPD.

Bumper dinged in hit-and-run

A UA student reported that her vehicle was damaged on Oct. 11. A UAPD officer went to the Sixth Street Parking Garage to meet with a woman whose vehicle had been damaged. The woman said she had parked the car on the ramp between the first and second level on the west side of the garage at about 5:30 p.m. When she returned to the vehicle, there was a dent in her back bumper on the driver’s side of the car. The dent was about five inches wide and appeared to have been caused by another vehicle. There were no witnesses to the incident.

Bikes with cable locks are begging for it

A UA student reported that her bicycle was stolen from the bike racks on the north side of McClelland Hall on Wednesday. She first reported that her bicycle was missing to UAPD at about 11:30 a.m. During a phone interview with UAPD, she said she parked her bike on the north side of McClelland Hall the day before at about 7:45 a.m. When she returned that same day, at about 5 p.m., the bicycle was gone. It had been locked with a black cable lock that was also gone. The bike is a tan and silver color and the woman said she paid around $500 for it. The serial number is unknown and the bike was not registered with Parking and Transportation Services.

Foles’ injury spoils Pac-10 road win

Painful win adds sense of urgency Running game must improve in Foles’ absence

COMMENTARY BY Tim Kosch sports editor

Enter last season’s starter Matt Scott. “You always have two quarterbacks ready,” Stoops said in a press release. “Matt (Scott) was OK, a little rusty.” Scott was 14-for-20 with 139 yards. What really carried the Wildcats was the Arizona running game that had been little used until this point in the season. Although it was established before Foles left the game, Keola Antolin and Nic Grigsby took charge. Antolin and Grigsby combined accounted for all of Arizona’s three touchdowns and had 142 yards rushing in the game.

The most dreaded “what if” scenario in all of football has struck the Arizona Wildcats: what if the star quarterback gets hurt? It’s particularly pressing for the Wildcats because Nick Foles has been the unquestioned leader of the team and the most important player in Arizona’s second place finish in the Pacific 10 Conference last year and its quest for the Rose Bowl this year. Each time Foles was hit in this season’s first five games drew that hold-your-breath and cross-your-fingers feeling in hopes he would hop up, unscathed. If we’re being honest, any Rose Bowl dreams Arizona has for this season diminish if Foles isn’t playing. Foles had always gotten up no matter how devastating the tackle or how hard his head hit the ground, and each time he did, faith was restored. But then on a chilly day in dreary Pullman, Wash., while playing Washington State, Foles went down and stayed down, holding up his right leg and keeping it still as if he thought that if it moved it would only get worse. Meanwhile, everyone in Tucson held their breath. Seeing him go down the way he did — a player rolling into his knee after he had planted and completed his throwing motion and then dropping to the ground immediately screaming in pain — evoked the memory of New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady going down in a similar fashion in 2009. Brady was lost for the year and his return for the following season was also in question. Fortunately for Foles, the situations are different. For starters, when Foles returns from his injury it won’t be with a new hairdo because,

Running back Nic Grigsby lunges forward for extra yards during Arizona’s 24-7 win over Washington State on Saturday in Pullman, Wash. While Grigsby and the rest of Arizona’s running backs started to improve against the Cougars, quarterback Nick Foles was forced to leave the game with a knee injury.

Wildcats rebound from Oregon State loss with 24-7 over WSU By Nicole Dimstios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The No. 15 Arizona football team got off to its best start as a program since 1993, defeating the Washington State Cougars 24-7 in Pullman, Wash., on Saturday. The Wildcats won their first game on the road in Pacific 10 Conference play, and improved their record to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in conference play. They established the longMIA running game in a cold environment on the road. But for head coach Mike Stoops, all these

Soccer loses to ASU

Offensive struggles continue in Tempe By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona soccer team responded the way head coach Lisa Oyen wanted after dropping its first two Pacific 10 Conference games, but it wasn’t enough as the Wildcats lost their third straight game in a 2-1 loss to ASU. “It was a game that we thought could have gone either way, we were really competitive,” Oyen said. “Unfortunately we’ve been giving up goals on set pieces. The positive coming out of that is that is something we can correct.” The first goal of the game came from an ASU corner kick in the 29th minute, when ASU midfielder Alexandra Elston scored on a header to give the Sun Devils the early 1-0 lead. Arizona was outshot 7-2 by the Sun Devils in the first half but still managed to have to go into the half down just 1-0. With a team that consists of 12 freshmen, Oyen admitted that in the first half it took some of young players a little time to adjust to the intense environment that the rival game presented. “I think they had to adjust to the atmosphere but also it’s just them adjusting to Pac-10 play,” Oyen said. “I think they’re starting to recognize the intensity they’re going to see and the type of players they will go against. Sometimes it does take them a little bit of the first half to get their feet underneath themselves,” Oyen added. In the second half the Wildcats came out with a better rhythm and scored their first SOCCER, page 8

must seem like consolation prizes after starting quarterback Nick Foles went down with what appears to be a right knee dislocation with 14:07 remaining in the second quarter. The junior had just completed a pass to receiver Travis Cobb when Washington State (1-6, 0-4 Pac-10) defensive end Travis Long fell on Foles’ right leg. He did not return to the game, and Stoops said he would be “week-to-week” and is expected to miss at least the next two games, but indicated that he did not think the injury would be season-ending.

Volleyball drops two at home By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After winning four straight matches, three of which were on the road, the Arizona volleyball team finally had some momentum in Pacific 10 Conference play. Unfortunately the operative word in that last sentence is “had.” Arizona (14-6, 3-4 Pac-10 ) dropped both of its matches this weekend to No. 10 UCLA (13-5, 3-4 ) and No. 5 Southern California (15-3, 4-3 ). Both losses came in five sets. “Considering all of the trials and tribulations we’ve had in five games, and the number of five-game matches we’ve played, I thought we would be able to put ourselves in a position to win matches,” head coach Dave Rubio said. “We didn’t execute to finish the game. We’re not there yet.” Against UCLA, the Wildcats took a 2-1 lead heading into the fourth set, where they were given a 25-15 pounding at the hands of the Bruins. Arizona then jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the fifth set, but UCLA came back to tie it at six before winning the deciding set 16-14 . “In game four, we completely just — what’s the best way to describe it — we showed no tenaciousness,” Rubio said. “We didn’t show any killer instinct. We come back, they should be deflated, and we should be on our game and execute and take care of the match. “Instead, they completely come back and we just roll over. We don’t compete. We don’t fight back. That, to me, is the most disappointing part of this.” The loss was so deflating that the Arizona players declined to address the media. Whitney Dosty, UA’s usual starting outside hitter, wasn’t in the starting lineup due to a stress fracture in her ankle. Dosty played sparingly, racking up one kill on three attempts in only three sets of action. UCLA was also playing shorthanded. The Bruins were missing their starting

setter due to injury. Things didn’t get any easier for UA after facing UCLA. No. 5 USC came into McKale Center trying to rebound from a loss the previous night to ASU. And rebound is what the USC did, beating Arizona in five sets for the Trojans’ first win in Tucson since 2007. “The saying ‘if it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger ’ is certainly appropriate here,” Rubio said. “I think it’s pretty evident that we’re pretty close. The difference in these games that we’re losing, it’s one or two contacts. I’m proud of the way we competed. We had a chance to win the match. I feel bad for our kids, they really laid it on

the line.” Against USC, the offense was run mainly through Tiffany Owens (20 kills) and Courtney Karst (19 kills), who combined for 39 of Arizona’s 69 kills. Cursty Jackson added 17 of her own, and also led UA with a .481 hitting percentage. Dosty was able to see more action than against UCLA. She appeared in all five sets, and scored 10 kills on 24 swings. Errors were the story of the weekend. Arizona had over 35 errors, including serving errors, in each match. Arizona resumes play this weekend when it travels to Washington to take on the University of Washington and Washington State University.

goal on a header by Arizona defender Kristyn Magyar. It was Magyar’s first career goal and appeared to give the Wildcats some momentum in the second half. In the 75th minute ASU struck again with another goal from Elston, with a strike from outside the box that ended up being the game winning goal, giving them eight wins total. The Wildcats weren’t able to generate any goals in the last 15

minutes which was something that coach Oyen looks to fix as the season proceeds. “We need to work on small technical things in order to win tight games,” she said. “I don’t think we’re far off than where we need to be but we have to pay attention to the finer details.” Arizona (4-8-2, 0-4-0) is now on a three game losing streak to start its Pac-10 schedule and will have two tough opponents in California

and Stanford coming to Tucson this week. Stanford, who lost in last year’s national championship game after going undefeated the entire season, may be the Wildcats’ toughest opponent of the season. “Stanford obviously had a very good year last season, it’s going to be a very tough game,” Oyen said. “But this will be a great motivator for our players because you want to play well against the best in the nation.”

Arizona dominates Fall Classic By Kelly Hultgren Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona softball defeated Pima Community College 3-1 last night to cap off an undefeated record in the Arizona Fall Classic tournament at Hillenbrand Stadium. The tournament consisted of 15 exhibition games, and Arizona used its five games to get better and, above all, make a statement. Despite winning the tournament, head coach Mike Candrea remains modest and makes certain his team does as well. “Obviously if you go 3-3 in this tournament you’re in for a long year,” Candrea said. “I always tell our team by winning this tournament, you know you’re a good junior college team.” Overall, the competition may have been lackluster, but Pima definitely put up a fight. “Pima’s pitcher did a very nice job tonight and so that was a really good game for us. I wish we could have had more of those,” Candrea said. In last night’s game, it was evident arms and shoulders were

Women’s team continues success, men’s team finishes second to last By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat There were two vastly different reactions from head coach James Li when talking about the women’s and men’s cross-country teams during their weekend at pre-nationals. The pre-nationals take place at the same venue for the national meet in Terre Haute, Ind. The No. 6 women’s team is destined for a strong showing at nationals, so it tried to get comfortable in the surroundings. It took second place in a field of 38 teams in a 6,000-meter race. Arizona fell behind No. 3 Florida State by 13 points. According to Li the results could have easily flipped between UA and Florida State. “Very good, I think our women did really well,” Li said. “Probably what we expected and what we would think. If we go there and do our job and do a good job, that’s probably what we would do.” The team was led by Hannah

Moen as she placed 11th for the Wildcats. Moen was followed by Elvin Kibet and Jennifer Bergman, who placed 20th and 21st respectively. “I still think we have some room for improvement,” said assistant coach Erin Dawson. “We had four girls run pretty well, we just got to have our fifth runner closer to our fourth runner.” That fourth runner was Megan Meyer and she received a lot of praise from the coaching staff as she placed 25th. “Megan (Meyer) is probably the most consistent runner on the team,” Dawson said. “She is just one of those runners where every race you know exactly what you are going to get out of her.” Meyer has been overshadowed at points this season by Moen, Kibet and Bergman, but has consistently CROSS-COUNTRY, page 10

“We wanted to come out and establish the run game, and that’s what we did,” said Antolin in a press release. The Wildcats took an early lead in the first quarter when Antolin rushed for a 9-yard score to put Arizona up 7-0. The sophomore would score again on a 1-yard run with 10:59 left in the second quarter to put the Wildcats up 14-0. Arizona had a chance for an even bigger lead right before half time, but Scott was intercepted by WSU safety Casey Locker. Grigsby scored on the opening drive of the second half with a 7-yard run to put the Wildcats up 21-0. Despite the success on the ground, overall, the offense did not put up huge numbers. The offensive line gave up six sacks, and Arizona only managed 352 yards of offense and 24 points against a Washington State defense that averaged 42 points and 500 yards allowed per game. “We have to play better than we did tonight,” Stoops said. The Arizona defense got some redemption after giving up 486 yards to Oregon State. The defensive line sacked Cougar quarterback Jeff Tuel seven times, of which Ricky Elmore and Brooks Reed combined half (3.5) of them. “Their speed and their two defensive ends are senior veteran

players,” said Washington State head coach Paul Wuff. “Their one D-tackle is a senior and they are just very veteran, good stout players that have been there a good long time. They disrupt us enough to create problems.” The defense was constantly disrupting Tuel and had no problem shutting down the Cougars’ running game. As a result, WSU wasn’t able to get into a rhythm. Tuel’s only score of the night was to Marquess Wilson, a 23-yard strike to ruin the Arizona defense’s shutout.

less stress? better grades? less sickness? better mood? Getting enough sleep each night improves ability to manage stress, boosts the immune system, sharpens concentration and memory for studying, and enhances overall physical and emotional health.

The word “yeast” is derived from the Old English word for boil or bubble, due to the role of these organisms in baking and fermentation.

Q

If a male performs oral sex on a woman and 4 days later she has a yeast infection, what does that mean for the male? I am familiar with most STDs and yeast infections but I honestly don’t know the answer to this. This happened months ago but I cannot stand not knowing.

A. Several types of yeast grow normally throughout the body, including the most common form, Candida albicans. The problem is, if the growth of yeast goes unchecked, these opportunistic pathogens can multiply rapidly and lead to yeast infections. While it is possible that your partner was exposed to yeast through oral sex or vice versa, it’s unlikely that this was the primary reason for the infection. In other words, because yeast is already present in most people, there are usually other factors to consider. Antibiotic use is one common culprit, since these drugs can diminish the bacterial “flora” that regulates yeast in the microbial ecosystem that is the human body. Wearing clothes that allow for a warm, moist environment (think tight fitting synthetic materials), high estrogen levels due to pregnancy, altered pH levels, and a lowered immune response can be other root causes. If you are in good health, there is little need to worry. Oral yeast infections, also known as thrush, are rare in individuals with healthy

immune systems; so, too, are yeast infections that occur genitally in men. When male yeast infections do show up, they result in dry, itchy or irritated skin and possibly a burning sensation during urination. By contrast, the female anatomy provides a more conducive environment, which is why yeast infections are the second leading cause of vaginal infection, after bacterial vaginosis. Yeast infections in women are often signaled by a white, odorless, cottage cheese-like discharge, along with irritation and inflammation. If treatment is necessary, anti-fungal creams, vaginal suppositories, or tablets may be prescribed. It’s best to wait until after the infection clears up before resuming sex to avoid undue discomfort. Although yeast infections can be very irritating, they are not associated with serious health risks.

unlike Brady, he already has long hair. More importantly, Foles’ return will also be much sooner than Brady’s. Head coach Mike Stoops said that Foles will likely be out two to three weeks and, as of now, there is no known damage to major knee ligaments. But the reality is that Foles is going to be missing games and that raises questions. Matt Scott will take his place at quarterback, and the junior does have some experience after starting the first three games in 2009. Scott can potentially add a new dimension to Arizona’s offense because he is an above-average runner, but Scott has shown over the last two years that he is limited as a passer. Rather than try to fix Scott’s passing deficiencies, Arizona needs to go with what could work best right now because the Wildcats are too deep in the Pac-10 race to try and reinvent the wheel. This means that Arizona needs to simplify its passing playbook to help accommodate Scott. Quicker timing routes should replace longdeveloping deep reads that Foles generally runs because, as was apparent against Washington State

on Saturday, Scott struggles with progressions and his propensity to run at the first sign of trouble makes him an easy sack target. Most importantly, though, Arizona needs to run the ball. The key to continue winning while Foles is injured will be the play of the offensive line and the three-headed running back monster of Nic Grigsby, Keola Antolin and Greg Nwoko who, although immensely talented, just haven’t been very good this season. Arizona ran the ball 47 times on Saturday, which is a lot, but no running back averaged over five yards per carry. This was nothing new, though, since the Wildcats entered the Washington State game ranked 8th in the Pac-10 and 92nd in the country in rushing. Arizona’s defense will be good enough to keep the team hovering at the surface in games while Foles isn’t playing, but it’s really up to the offensive line and the running backs to keep the team afloat. And they need to, because injuries aren’t taken into account by the Rose Bowl committee. Just wins and losses.

UA goes 5-0 Schluntz in tournament named NCAA

team’s six homeruns this weekend. Right after, Lini Koria tripled down the right field line, sending Chambers to home and extending the lead to two. Arizona would hang onto the lead to end the game. Like Candrea, Chambers focused on the bigger picture. “It’s our first games and it’s kind of good getting used to playing with each other,� Chambers said. “We have a lot of work to do still, but overall, we didn’t do too bad. I need to prepare myself a little more in the on-deck circle.� In regards to pitching, sophomore Kenzie Fowler and freshman Shelby Babcock rotated throughout the course of the tournament. For Fowler, it was the most she’s played since last season. “Shelby showed some moments that looked really good and then some moments where we need some growth,� Candrea said. “It was good to see Kenzie (Fowler) back on the mound and she looks good.� Fowler’s new pitching style is proving to be effective as she

entered double digit strikeouts on the weekend. She also had a three-run homerun against New Mexico. “I still have a couple of hitches I’m working on,� Fowler said. “Pitches are a lot better than they were. I mean I’m making progress each week and that’s all I can ask for.� Rewinding back to Friday, Arizona started off their tournament by defeating Arizona Western College in five innings 14-2. On Saturday, Arizona played their first double-header of the weekend, dominating New Mexico, 110 also in five and then Central Arizona College 4-2. Yesterday, Arizona closed out the tournament with another double-header. Arizona first beat Cypress College, 10-0 in five, and then Pima to cap off the evening. The Wildcats’ have another exhibition game against Pima this Wednesday before finishing off the preseason with the Arizona Alumni game on Friday. Both games will take place at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Woman of the Year

Arizona swimmer Justine Schluntz was named the NCAA Woman of the year last night at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Schluntz was the 20th recipient of the award, and fourth from the UA. The award is given to the female student-athlete that has completed her eligibility, demonstrated academic and athletic excellence while also demonstrating extraordinary community service and leadership. Schluntz’s accolades in the pool are unmatched. Over the course of her career she was a five-time NCAA National Champion, a 16time NCAA All-American and a three-time member of the Pac-10 All-Academic First Team. Out of the pool, Schluntz has volunteered for Big Brothers/ Big Sisters and Casa de los Niùos among other things. She is currently studying as a Rhodes Scholar in England.

Moen paces women while men struggle without Sambu

found herself at the front of the pack and gaining points for UA. “The course we ran this weekend will be the same exact course we will run at nationals,� Meyer said. “It gave us the opportunity to race the course again and get us a feel for the bigger meets with a lot of teams. It was a good experience and should prepare us for nationals.�

The story was different when Li commented on what the men did this weekend in Indiana. “Not good, not good,� Li said. “Our guys got to really find their rhythm and find their own place. Being overshadowed by the women may not be a very easy thing for them. I just know they are better than what they have shown this

weekend.� The men’s team as they placed 34th out of 35 teams. Top runner Stephen Sambu was hampered this week with a lower leg injury and did not run. The frustration could be heard in the voices of the coaching staff as they tried to describe how the men performed this weekend.

“I don’t know if there is anything we can do in practice,� Li said. “They just need to find their rhythm.� The teams will have a bye week this weekend before they head to Washington to compete in the Pacific 10 Conference championships. Dawson is hoping that the men will “get a little fire in their bellies.�

“After this race I think they should be a little embarrassed about how they ran and hopefully they come out at Pac-10’s,� Dawson said. “They definitely have a shot of going at Washington, ASU and Washington State. Those are three teams that I think we should be able to beat. Hopefully they will be able to put it together that day and get it done.�

Rodney Haas/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Crowds gather on the corner of Congress Street and Fifth Avenue during Club Crawl on Saturday. The local music festival showcased 94 bands on 27 stages starting from Congress Street to Fourth Avenue.

Con: Lines ruin Club Crawl’s appeal Commentary BY Kenny Contrata copy chief

Rodney Haas/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Joe Pena, lead singer of Greyhound Soul, performs at the Rialto Theatre during Club Crawl on Saturday.

Pro: Club Crawl an impressive event Commentary BY Kristina Remy arts writer

Saturday was the perfect night for Club Crawl, the annual music festival hosted by the Tucson Weekly, among other co-sponsors. The weather was perfect for wandering around Congress Street and other areas of Fourth Avenue and downtown Tucson, where Club Crawl-goers were able to mosey in and out of several venues while enjoying a plethora of music. The outdoor stages were perfectly spaced apart. Several beer and alcohol stations were placed intermittently

between all of the different venues and stages. There were also several food stations, including hot dog stands and a barbecue tent catered by BrushFire BBQ Co. Drink specials were very reasonable, including $3 Budweiser and Bud Lights and $5 Long Islands and Crown Royal. Among the best stages were the Hotel Congress Outdoor Stage and the 92.9 “The Mountain” Stage where several bands, including Tucson local bands Yard Sale Heart and Rcougar, could be heard. Overall, the event was very well organized and efficient. For information on the next Club Crawl, be sure and check their website at clubcrawl.ning.com.

Club Crawl is aptly named. The only activity attendees partake in during the entire night is crawling from one line to the next. Anyone arriving at the event after 10 p.m. was greeted with a 45-minute wait to enter the gated area. The line for the entrance at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Congress Street extended halfway down the underpass. After actually entering the event, Club Crawl-goers were herded from line to line.

Fifteen minutes to get into Club Congress. Twenty minutes to use the restroom. Forget about trying to get a drink outside — the chaotic mass of people made drink lines undistinguishable and a constant fight against the ebb and flow of the street. However well-organized the event and efficient the staff, Club Crawl was in no way prepared to handle the sheer number of people attending. The downtown area and facilities are not large enough to house the increasingly popular Club Crawl. Attending Club Crawl is paying $10 to stand in line.
