Wildcats ranked No. 22 in BCS poll Big sport on campus: Football gains on hoops?

COMMENTARY By Bryan Roy

sports columnist

he Arizona football program, a once-embarrassing Pacific 10 Conference punching bag, is on the cusp of eclipsing the Arizona basketball program, a once-elite Pac-10 bully still hungover from its mid-2000s reputation and campus popularity. The football team’s win against Stanford on Saturday wasn’t pretty, but it did send a clear statement to the Zona Zoo: It’s not basketball season just yet. Let the numbers talk — football is 4-2 overall, but most significantly, ranked No. 22 in the first BCS standings of the season. Basketball held its Media Day last Wednesday, but its only star player, Nic Wise, was a no-show due to academic commitments. Football, led by breakout quarterback of the year Nick Foles, could bring a 6-2 record and top-20 ranking into the California showdown on Nov. 14. Basketball’s depth chart, after Wise, looks more like a scatter plot of newcomers.

By Karina G. Salazar ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Will Ferguson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA finished 18th out of 20 teams in the 2009 Solar Decathlon hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington, D.C. For three weeks in October, 20 of the world’s leading solar research universities and institutes presented energy-efficient, exclusively solar-powered homes designed and built by students and faculty. The Arizona Solar Energy-Efficient Dwelling was constructed in part by faculty, staff and students from the colleges of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and the Department of

Materials Science and Engineering. The house features a clear plastic water wall to trap heat during the evening and deflect it during the day, as well as dual-sided solar panels that improve energy efficiency by up to 30 percent. The team is currently in the process of dismantling the project for the trip home. The houses were judged based on a series of 10 contests, the criteria of which included energy efficiency, marketability and architectural design. Team Germany took first place at the competition with a total score of 908.297 out of 1000 points. Team Illinois finished second with a score of 897.300. Arizona finished with a final score of 610.339.

An array of brightly-colored swirling saris filled the gym in the Ina A. Gittings building Saturday night as the UA India Club hosted its annual Garba celebration. The Hindu cultural-religious celebration filled the gym with more than 150 students, parents and local Indian community members from 8 p.m. until after midnight for a night of traditional food, dancing and music. “Garba is a traditional event celebrated for nine days in October to worship three different goddesses” said Pratik Patel, a finance junior and president of India Club. “The celebration worships the goddesses of wealth, purity and well-being for three nights each.”

In celebration of the traditional Indian event Garba, community and India Club members gathered to dance and pray Saturday in the Ina E. Gittings building.

By Mara Rose Williams MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Menacing, metallic and mega-gun brandishing, the cyber super-soldier looms over Richard Fleming’s desk. Not exactly stereotypical for a professor’s office at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kan.? Well, as the “Gears of War”crowd might say:“Eat boot! Suck pavement! Get back into your hole!” This professor under the “Halo 3” figure teaches video game development. So lock and load, zappers of Nazi zombies or the locust horde. All those hours wearing out your thumbs in front of “Halo” or “Gears” actually could mean a college degree and fast career path. Before you drop your joystick, remember a degree in video game design is math and science laden. Or it could involve serious art skills. This year, 254 of the nation’s colleges and universities in 37 states have such programs, up 27 percent over the year before. At first, computer information science program leaders resisted bringing in video game courses, recalled Jeff Huff, assistant professor of graphics at Missouri State at West Plains.

“They didn’t see them as worthy,” Huff said. “It was real easy to dismiss it by saying, ‘They are video games, how important could it be?’” According to the Entertainment Software Association, which monitors the game industry, video game design is the fastest-growing industry in this country. “A generation that has grown up playing video games is entering college,” said Rich Taylor a representative for the Entertainment Software Association. “Schools are responding to that.” Besides a favorite pastime, video games are developed for use in military training, education, Hollywood and for virtual training in a variety of fields, including medicine and mechanics. “In the last 12 years, software sales have quadrupled,”Taylor said, taking video game sales with it. Last year, games and game consoles reached $22 billion in sales. At a time when students are graduating into a shrinking job market, this industry is flourishing, Taylor said. More than 80,000 people are employed by the video game industry, said Taylor.“It is

pre-business freshman Do you go out to the movies very often, or not really? Yeah, but not here. There’s, like, nowhere to go. I guess you could go to Gallagher (Theater) but, I don’t know, that would be kind of weird. You don’t have a car or what? Yeah, I don’t have my car out here with me. So I guess you’re not going to go see the movie that just came out, “Where the Wild Things Are,” are you? Oh, no. I really want to see it though. It looks really cute. Yeah, I’m pretty excited about it, too. Did you used to read the book when you were a little kid? Yes I did. What’s your most fond memory from that back in the day? When he’s sailing across the ocean. Would you consider it a date movie or is it just a kids’ movie? No, it’s definitely not a date movie. Absolutely not. Why do you say that? I’ll never go out with someone on a date to that. (Laughs) But is there any particular reason? I mean, it looks pretty cool. I don’t know. I mean, I would go if I was with, like, my little sister or something like that. Just not a date. All right then. When I heard it was coming out I wondered how they would pull it off. Have you seen the trailers for it? I have, it looks pretty sick. It looks like, I don’t know. I like how they’re going to do it. But I wish that they would’ve made it, like, PG-13 and made it gnarly because it’s going to be really childish. (Laughs) What do you mean, it should have been “gnarly”? I don’t know, just the scary scenes and stuff aren’t really going to be scary anymore. Because when you’re little and you read it you’re scared, so now it’s probably not going to be like that. Well, don’t you think they’re trying to make a little more money out of it by making it PG? Well yeah, of course they’re going to make more money if they can show it to a bigger audience. What would you do differently to the movie? Well (pauses) I guess nothing, really. I guess that’s a logical approach. — Brian Kimball

Kara Yagade, 10, has her face painted by Ashley Sanders, an art sophomore and manager at the UA BookStores Student Exchange, on Saturday during the Family Weekend celebration at the UofA Bookstore in the Student Union Memorial Center. Yagade and her family came from San Diego, Calif. to visit her brother for the weekend.

Burlington Coat Factory faces angry mob promised free coats COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police say an Ohio woman being driven around in a limousine announced at a coat store she’d won the lottery and would pay for everyone’s purchases but ended up causing a riot when customers realized it was a hoax. Columbus police Lt. Michael Deakins said the woman announced Tuesday she’d spend $500 on

everyone at a Burlington Coat Factory, prompting customers to gather at registers and call relatives. When police arrived, 500 people filled the store and another 1,000 were outside. Cashiers rang up sales before discovering the woman had no money. Angry customers grabbed clothes without paying.

The limo driver turned the woman in. Police said she was arrested on three outstanding warrants but wasn’t charged for the coat store chaos pending a mental health evaluation. A spokeswoman for the Burlington, N.J.-based coat store had no comment. — The Associated Press

Peeps ‘Mr. Fox’ debuts at London festival Girl: Having a slutty roommate actually makes life a lot more entertaining. — Highland Market

Fast Facts A child laughs about 400 times a day. Adults laugh about 15 times. More children are accidentally poisoned by toxic houseplants than by household chemicals. The average American child uses 730 crayons by the age of 10.

The average American child takes his first trip to the mall at two months old. The price of a sleepover in the Bronx Zoo’s Congo Gorilla Forest exhibit for 15 kids: $4,500. A four-year old child asks about 437 questions a day. The average child will eat 1,500 peanut butter sandwiches by high school graduation. On average, kids ages two to five put their hands in their mouth 10 times an hour. Sixty-five percent of kids have had at least one imaginary friend by age seven.

LONDON — Like the London Film Festival, Wes Anderson’s “Fantastic Mr. Fox” is a mix of British grit and American glamor. The movie was made in England using old-fashioned stop-motion animation, and has a voice cast led by George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Bill Murray. George Clooney Clooney, Murray and Jason Schwartzman brought a dose of Hollywood to Leicester Square on Wednesday with the film’s world premiere at the 53rd annual London festival. The actors signed autographs as hundreds of fans and one or two anti-fox hunting protesters gathered outside the movie theater. Anderson said Streep, who had planned to attend, could not come because she had the flu. Anderson and co-writer Noah Baumbach adapted Roald Dahl’s book about the battle between a chickenstealing fox and evil farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean. The movie, from the director of “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums,” retains the book’s English setting and was made at London’s Three Mills Studios but the animal heroes speak with American accents. “I feel like we were better writing American voices,” Anderson told reporters Wednesday. “So we decided that we would make all the animals American, and the humans would be British.” “Because,” added Murray,“they’re the bad guys.” The film’s British performers include Michael Gambon as the villainous Bean, and former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker as the farmers’ musical sidekick. Clooney said he had a great time working on the film — especially as the cast recorded their parts on a real-life farm. “It was like going to camp,” he said. “We were out in the middle of nowhere on people’s farms, doing sound effects and rolling around in the fields.” The lo-fi feature brings Anderson’s hipster sensibility to Dahl’s children’s classic. Mr. Fox is a dapper optimist in a corduroy suit — very like the one Anderson wore to meet the press. Anderson said he had loved Dahl’s books since childhood, and also “wanted to do a stop-motion movie with animals with fur, because I’ve always loved the way that looked — that odd, sort of magical style.” Clooney said he was struck by the film’s original quality. “I remember reading the script and saying to Wes, ‘I love it, and I’m thrilled and excited to do it, but I don’t know who will see it, because it’s sort of made for grownups and it’s sort of made for kids,’”Clooney said. “He said, ‘Don’t worry about it. Let’s just go out and make a movie and have some fun,’ and I thought that’s a great way to approach making a film.”

By Michelle Cohen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT James E. Rogers may be the owner of a Nevada-based communications company that owns 12 NBC television stations, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to reach him via e-mail or cell phone, because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;too old to learnâ&#x20AC;? how to use them, he said. The James E. Rogers College of Law, 1201 E. Speedway Blvd., was renamed for Rogers in 1998 after he donated about $125 million to the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt very, very good,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a great honor.â&#x20AC;? In 1915 the UA College of Law became the first law school founded in Arizona. The school was originally a department of law in the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences until 1925, when the department officially became the College of Law, according to the UA Web site. Rogers graduated from Las Vegas High School in 1956 prior to attending the UA, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting and a law degree in 1962. He went on to receive a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from the University of

Southern California. Rogers chose to attend the UA for several reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I lived in Las Vegas at the time and the only university in Nevada was in Reno,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go to California because I thought it was too big and crowded. I could have gone to Utah or New Mexico, but I really thought the University of Arizona was the best of those schools.â&#x20AC;? Rogers, who practiced law from 1964 to 1988, has a broad range of interests that led him down several different career paths, all of which he said he enjoyed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the banking business, I like education and I like broadcast,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said, whose long list of achievements includes starting two banks in Nevada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love news. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a news junkie, so it kind of all has gone together.â&#x20AC;? Rogers was also chancellor of the higher education system in Nevada for five years before his contract expired in June of this year. He currently owns Sunbelt Communications Company, which he started in 1971. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just by chance I filed an application

for a broadcast license in Las Vegas and I got it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rogers remembers his time at UA as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;great experienceâ&#x20AC;? filled with a lot of hard work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked all the time and I studied all the time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took Saturday morning off from 8 to 10 (a.m.) and my wife and I did whatever. It was probably an 80-hour work week, which included going to class.â&#x20AC;? His hard work was worth it, because Rogers said he received a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very good education.â&#x20AC;? After about 47 years, Rogers has stayed â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly activeâ&#x20AC;? at the law school and said he misses the UA college environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there, everyone who surrounds you is bright, ambitious and intelligent,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people who go to the university are really concerned about their country, cities and states. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very caring people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you get away, you realize there are a lot of people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a damn and know very little about their country and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very distressing. A college community is a great culture.â&#x20AC;?

Football becoming more popular sport

Offering...NOTARY PUBLIC SERVICE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR DRIVING TEST AUTHORIZED SHIPPING CENTER

Football is obviously still relevant, but is it more relevant than basketball? Consider what Sean Miller did at Media Day: the first-year UA hoops coach squashed all expectations and essentially downplayed traditional success before 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not anxious at all to see a game,â&#x20AC;?Miller joked last Wednesday.â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a matter of fact, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see a game for some time.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what UA sports fans want to hear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially this generation of students accustomed to reeling from footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual mid-October collapses. Even something guaranteed, like a 25year NCAA tournament streak â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an annual bragging point students use as Thanksgiving dinner-table conversation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; went from a minimum requirement to a rallying point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because things have happened here in the past doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to continue,â&#x20AC;?Miller said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the streak is something that can really be damaging to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. In reality, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something

that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control.â&#x20AC;? Basketball Media Day hardly felt like a pep rally. In fact, after watching a weekend of rockconcert-caliber celebrations in college basketball arenas around the country, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baffling as to why the UA didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw its own Midnight Madness to restore some excitement to a program with only one returning go-to guy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happened a year ago or two years ago, 13 years ago, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all things that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our tradition. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our legacy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you want to be at a program like Arizona,â&#x20AC;?Miller said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;But what that means in this season, 2009-10, is nothing.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly a Kansas-esque, interathletics, fist-fighting rivalry going on here, but it must have ticked off former quarterback Willie Tuitama when UA basketball exhibition games got more attention than his Pac-10 football games. Our newsroom must always gauge popularity: Who gets priority on our sports front page? When we run weekend

previews, who gets the dominant photo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; football or basketball? In December of 2007 and 2008, UA basketball played Virginia and at Texas A&M, respectively, while UA football played decisive Pac-10 games. The basketball losses were bigger stories. Where would you rather spend the weekend of Dec. 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum watching footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential Rose Bowl play-in game against USC, or in Oklahoma watching a potential NCAA Tournament rĂŠsumĂŠ bubble-breaker? Oklahoma is a school that takes football seriously. For the first time, Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Stoops is ranked in the BCS standings higher than his brother Bob, head coach at Oklahoma. On campus, Mike could finish the year at No. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bryan Roy can be reached at media@wildcat.arizona.edu

indicative of schools realizing that video game design is a viable industry.â&#x20AC;? Most of the schools with video game programs are in New York, Texas, North Carolina and California, with the University of California, Irvine recently establishing a center for games and virtual worlds research. The Midwest has its offerings, too. The Entertainment Software Association listed Johnson County Community College as the only school in Kansas with video game design degrees. Johnson County Community College began drafting its two-year associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree programs in game development and animation in 2006 because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what students wanted. The school had four to six classes that dealt with game programming. At the time, Fleming and a colleague, Jeff Byers, who teaches animation, were adjunct professors. Now they run the degree programs, which have three other instructors teaching 63 classes for the 64-credit-hour game-developing degree and 47 classes for the 66-credit-hour animation degree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been steadily growing,â&#x20AC;? Fleming said. They added four sections this year. Technology is moving so fast that every year instructors at the community college update class curriculums.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as we open a new animation section, it fills up within 24 hours,â&#x20AC;?said Kelly Gernhart, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant dean of computer science and information technology. Those with a flair for art and design who can create colorful characters and scenarios wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the same level of computer science, but it is technology driven.Video development provides the framework of the game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; makes it operate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but, Fleming said,â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too pretty to look at.â&#x20AC;? Developers can make a plane fly, dive and shoot but they need an animator to design the plane. Ben Mora of Olathe, Kan., is in the second year of his video animation degree. Mora played a lot of video games in high school.Then he started drawing animations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, I love animation and I love video games; why not put them together?â&#x20AC;? Mora said. The next step for Johnson County Community College is game development and animation students in the same classroom. Among the schools that offer degrees and courses on the Missouri side are the University of Missouri, Missouri State at West Plains, and ITT Technical Institute in Arnold and in Earth City. A lot of schools began adopting video

game design programs to offset the decline they saw in the number of students interested in the traditional computer information science courses, said Dale Musser, director of the information technology program at MU. Musserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program is five years old and includes a sequence of video game creation courses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the things that makes our program affective,â&#x20AC;? Musser said. When students go in to computer science and information technology they want to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s familiar to them. Taylor said 68 percent of people of all ages play video games and 95 percent of young people play them.Video game consoles are in nearly 50 percent of the households in this country. Graduates with a two-year associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree are ready on day one to enter the job market. Some take their video game degree to a four-year school for a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in computer science. Out in the world, video game design is deemed recession resistant. And the pay is great. The average video game designer job starting out pays about $55,000 a year. With five years of experience, young designers make in the range of $90,000 a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it is not a bad way to make a living,â&#x20AC;?Taylor said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting and you are only limited by your imagination.â&#x20AC;?

Ethnic food for thought Remy Albillar columnist

ere’s a shocker: I was pretty upset when Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize. Obama is a “halfer” like me. That means every time he does something particularly exceptional (like becoming a senator, becoming the president or receiving an international peace prize), the bar for my ethnic subgenre gets set a little higher. It’s exhausting. With such a high standard to be up against, our ambitions, goals and dreams just become moot in comparison. I guess I could switch my major, become an astronaut and hope to simultaneously become the first black, Mexican and Honduran man on the moon, but I’m pretty sure they’ve already got someone lined up for that. Needless to say, my options are limited. At least the treatment goes both ways. The president is constantly plagued by detractors who accuse him of achieving success and recognition solely based on race. Likewise, we “ethnics” are safe in assuming that not everyone is satisfied with all the free money we get to go college based on the color of our skin. This reality hasn’t stopped a myriad of ethnically diverse students from getting boatloads of free money to go to college, but as the memory of slavery gets older and our nation’s leadership gets darker, it’s only a matter of time before the ethical logic behind this academic institution becomes obviously funky. Schools give scholarships based on race in order to increase the ethnic diversity of their student population. In doing so, they create a more inclusive and socially just environment where students of different races and credos can finally get the chance to study, learn, drink and sleep together. Innocuous, right? No, that’s where the problems start. Based on this reasoning, any ethnic minority who grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood and developed primarily “Caucasian” values no longer fits the mold of an ethnic student who adds new perspectives to the classroom based on his or her exotic childhood experiences. Of course, they get the money anyway. Without some universal yardstick with which to measure cultural diversity, race-based scholarships are awarded simply for the race itself, at the detriment of equally or more academically successful students. Consequentially, we’re stuck in another icky situation of some students getting money based off their skin color while others do not, and then we aren’t much better off than we were a few decades ago. The alternative, of course, is ludicrous. There is no fair and objective way to determine the numerical worth of “cultural diversity” a student has the potential to add to a student population. I can only imagine how hilarious a test to determine ethnic legitimacy might read: “MC Hammer was reputed to be 2 Legit … a) 2 wear parachute pants b) 2 quit c) to go bankrupt d) none of the above.” So what’s society to do? The solution to this problem, like every other glaring social issue, can probably only be solved by a lot of rich, powerful people dying and younger, more progressive people inheriting their influence. In the meantime, we can take some steps in the right direction by making active decisions in changing the discourse, the way we conceptualize and speak, about race-based scholarships: 1) None of the rhetoric used for or against race-based scholarships should ever use the word “deserve” again. “Deserve” implies some moral entitlement for the recipient of a racebased scholarship to receive their award. Regardless of how hard your childhood was and how much you sacrificed to get here, someone exists with a worse childhood who would have sacrificed more to get to where you are and didn’t get the chance because of circumstance and the arbitrary standards the universities of this country used to determine who to give money to. 2) For those of you who are resentful of the idea of others receiving more money than you because of the color of their skin, be mindful that they had no choice in the matter. Decide for yourself if you, in their situation, would turn down the money out of the same sense of self-righteousness you use to justify your resentment. 3) For those of you who have received scholarships based on the color of your skin, refrain from acting or speaking like you are special or better than anyone else, and not just the beneficiary of a lot of lucky breaks you probably aren’t even aware of. Even if we as a society acknowledge that the concept of race-based scholarships is inherently self-contradictory and unfair, it won’t make the scholarships go away. But it might be a little easier to talk about them, and clear some hatred from the room while we figure out what will. — Remy Albillar is a junior majoring in English.

MAILBAG ‘Diss Song’ article misrepresented artist’s involvement

This is specifically for Bobby Stover, the person who wrote the article on the football players’ diss song, which is also known as the Pac-10 tribute (“Football players produce ‘Diss’ song,” Oct. 15, 2009). The whole article was disrespectful to me, being that I am the artist known as JGIBS and I’m the one who wrote the whole song, word for word. I want to know why I was just listed as a local artist contacted to do most of the vocals when my voice is on the whole song, and without the lyrics I wrote, it would just be a beat playing with no words. I’m not here to bash anyone, especially not the football team. All I want is this typo cleared up because the journalist shortened my worth in the song. I refuse to have something that started with me just list me as a local artist. I am not just an artist. I have worked with too many to be that

and I was called to make a hit, and that’s what I did. Do not print an article that forgets the key point of this song’s success (the artist who wrote the song and came up with the idea). Jon-Te Gibson D&B Productions

Police Beat should not identify suspects by anything

I am writing to echo Thursday’s insightful letter from Professor Zhiping Zheng. I could not agree more that the needless inclusion of a suspect’s race undoubtedly promotes and legitimizes ethnic stereotypes on campus. I fear, however, that the professor did not go far enough in his condemnation of the Police Beat and left vulnerable minorities unprotected. While excluding a suspect’s race is important, Zheng still encouraged the use of the term “student” to identify the alleged offender. Following his logic, does this not cast an unnecessary shadow of guilt across the entire student body

of this prestigious university and, more broadly, students everywhere? Are we not all now a little more bigoted against students? In the future, Zheng should follow his own advice and be more aware of how his own indiscreet comments affect others. Furthermore, even after hearing Zheng’s concerns, Friday’s Daily Wildcat included a Police Beat article that identified a suspect as a “man.” This blatant sexism should not be tolerated and runs completely counter to the ideals of respected journalism. The Daily Wildcat should not be in the business of attacking and prematurely condemning muchmaligned minorities and owes an apology to every male member of this community for this libelous piece of reporting. I believe I speak for the entire university when I state that we demand articles that contain as few facts as possible and that are completely devoid of any of the necessary context.

EDITORIAL

Monday Morning Roundup

The Wildcat editorial board re-caps a few interesting events from this weekend. class schedule, it’s important to stay on top your family made the trip to the UA campus At the UA … of priority registration dates and times. Don’t this year, even if it may have strained your It’s time to register for classes again

This weekend, seniors, graduate, medicine, pharmacy and post-baccalaureate education certification students were the second group of people eligible to register for spring 2010 courses, after athletes. For returning students, it was the typical registration experience of staring at the computer and waiting for the WebReg page to load. WebReg was surprisingly slow-moving on Sunday around 7 a.m., when an “unexpected downtime” message appeared on the screen, preventing students from registering for classes at their scheduled 7 a.m. time slot. We live in a day and age where it’s absurd that technology, such as an online class registration process, should just shut down, especially when the people in charge expect heavy traffic at that particular time. The UA has only just begun registering students for next semester’s classes and WebReg is already malfunctioning to a ridiculous degree. In spite of this, we hope everyone in the first round got the classes they need, particularly seniors who are graduating in May. If not, course availability is bound to open up soon, and students still have the option of being pests and showing up to the classes anyway. There’s no harm in begging the instructor to sign an add/drop form or being assertive. To everyone else who was ineligible, unable or too forgetful to register for classes this weekend, be prepared for the following priority registration time slot. If you’re unfortunate enough to have a 7 a.m. registration time, set an alarm to wake you up at 6:50, and be patient with the slow-moving server. As always, glance over your SAPR before deciding which classes to take, and check to see if you’ll need to meet with an advisor before getting into any classes that may be competitive. When it comes to planning next semester’s

let a crazy night out prevent you from waking up on time for class registration the following morning, and make sure you have some idea of what you want to enroll in before beginning the tedious process of battling WebReg.

Making time for mom and dad

After witnessing the success of Jon and Kate Gosselin’s reality television show about raising eight children, it’s no surprise that some parents would use their own children to get on TV. The parents who recently set off worldwide news chaos by reporting that their 6-year-old son likely floated away in a flying saucer-like helium balloon created the stunt to market themselves for a television show, Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said on Sunday. The parents also appear to have been extremely uncreative, since it looks like they stole the plot of“Up,”one of the top family movies of the summer. The boy did not, in fact, get carried off in a balloon, and he was reported to have been hiding in the family’s attic during the five-hour search for him. Alderden said the parents “put on a very good show for us, and we bought it.” What could be more tragic than a little boy accidentally floating away from home in a balloon? How could anyone lie about this just for some television time? There’s no positive entertainment value in learning of a missing child. Parents shouldn’t use their kids for publicity, and the Wildcat hopes this weekend’s discovery of the tasteless stunt will convince other delusional parents that lying about a missing child is an insult to parents who have actually had their kids disappear.

Family Weekend 2009 took place from Thursday to Sunday, and visiting families had a broad range of things to do on campus. Families were welcome to attend UA classes, take campus tours from the Arizona Ambassadors, participate in Bear Down Friday festivities and experience the Gallagher Theater Double Feature event, among many other things. There were, of course, registration fees included in most Family Weekend activities, but who can put a price on spending time with family, especially since family visits are harder to plan as everyone gets older and busier? According to a Friday Daily Wildcat report, Family Weekend went green for this first time in UA campus history.“We sent out e-mails instead of the usual postcards to tell families about the Family Weekend,”ASUA Family Weekend Director Lauren Carter said. We hope UA parents enjoyed being part of the going green effort, and we hope that Family Weekend gave students and parents the opportunity to really re-connect and catch up. Stress affects both students and parents alike, and Family Weekend is a good time for families to slow down and remember that they still have each other regardless of how crazy their lives seem. Besides, the UA football team beat Stanford in the fourth quarter of an intensely close match this past Saturday, and it’s always fun to experience this kind of victory when family is around. Cheers to the parents who came to see their students. To everyone who had visiting parents or siblings this weekend, be appreciative that

From the Archives Vietman War protests divided campus in 1969 By Alex Dalenberg Arizona Daily Wildcat

orty years ago this week, thousands of UA students marched in protest of the Vietnam War as part of a national student-sponsored Peace Moratorium. UA demonstrators joined an estimated two million protestors across the country in what is believed to have been one of the biggest demonstrations in U.S. history. According to the Oct. 16, 1969, issue of the Daily Wildcat, about 7,000 students marched from the UA Memorial Fountain to the Federal Building downtown at East Broadway Boulevard and South Scott Avenue. Then-ASUA President Mark Ginsberg, who helped organize the event, told the Daily Wildcat that protestors chose the Federal Building“because it represents an authority which can make a difference in stopping this war.” The demonstrators gathered on the steps of Old Main, which was then home to the military science and training programs on campus, singing and listening to speakers before making the twomile march downtown. Several hundred students gathered at an earlier memorial held at the Campus Christian Center. The names of 405 men from Arizona killed in Southeast Asia were read aloud. Following an address from a minister, the congregants sang,“We Shall Overcome.” The Daily Wildcat article led with,“It was a beautiful day to end a war.” At the same time, demonstrators marched on college and university campuses throughout the country. According to wire reports in the Daily Wildcat, the protests were“generally quiet.”A number of arrests were made in front of the White House, and some scuffles were reported between pro-war and anti-war factions on campuses in San Antonio, Texas and Detroit, Mich. In NewYork City, Mayor John V. Lindsay ordered city flags to be flown at half-staff. Several members in the honor guard for the World Series flag raising at Shea Stadium refused to take the field unless the flag was hoisted to the top of the pole. About 200 students stood outside the stadium distributing anti-war leaflets before the day’s World Series game between the New York Mets and Baltimore Orioles. The Associated Press reported that students at the University of Louisville in Kentucky ran into

trouble at their moratorium event when the Humane Society objected to the students releasing doves to symbolize peace. The Humane Society told the students that doves are defenseless when turned loose to fend for themselves. When the demonstrators opted for pigeons, Humane Society representatives voiced concern that the pet store pigeons would have trouble surviving 50-degree autumn temperatures. Back on campus, the Daily Wildcat reported a number of students opting out of the Moratorium Day events. A small group of about 10 counterprotestors, wearing American flags pinned to their shirts, marched from Old Main to the Selective Service Building. One demonstrator told the Daily Wildcat,“We want to show that not everyone is against the war.” Two unidentified nursing students drove in front of the march in a red and white station wagon with a sign reading, “We oppose the Moratorium.”

CULTURE

continued from page 1

India Club event aimed to welcome different cultures

Guests were encouraged to participate in the traditions of the Garba celebration by forming a large circle around an altar placed in the middle of the gym with the figure of Lakshmi, the goddess of good fortune, and dance around each other. The Garba celebration also included a variety of different Indian traditions, including a modernized dance called Dandiya, which is danced in two long lines with participants hitting two wooden sticks, an eight-minute prayer worship called Aarti and traditional Indian cuisine of vegetable rice and peanut curry. Although UA India Club students planned and organized the event, parents and community members were invited to participate in the traditions and dancing. “It’s a great thing that the club

organizes events like this,” said Rowena D’Moute, parent of an India Club member. “The dancing and music are all very important to our culture, and the eating too, of course.” The event also served to culturally diversify the club, as people of all different cultures and ethnicities joined in to learn more about the Indian traditions. “One thing others can relate to is the music.” said Vanisha Desai, a pre-pharmacy sophomore.“The music we dance to is a lot like folk music.” At the celebration, people who were unfamiliar with the traditional dances were taught steps to the various tempos and songs. “The dance steps are very easy to pick up,” said Bonnie Raschke, an ecology and evolutionary biology junior who attended the Garba

celebration for the first time. Patel said the group plays more traditional music at the beginning of the night and moves into more modernized hip-hop music at the end in order to include students not familiar with the steps. The celebration also served as a fundraiser for the club’s many different efforts, one of the most costly being integrating and providing support to international members on campus. “The money made here tonight will help the club in providing international students housing and transportation when they arrive and in funding future events” Patel said. The funds will also help the club’s Valentine Formal scheduled to further diversify the club in reaching out to Greek Life on campus.

Stumbling student thanks officers for MIP

University of Arizona Police Department officers were on University Boulevard on Oct. 8 at 10:45 p.m. when they observed a man stumbling across the street. Officers contacted the man, who admitted to drinking “shots.” According to police, the man had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and the strong odor of intoxicants coming from his mouth as he spoke. A preliminary breath test confirmed the presence of alcohol in his system. The man told officers, “Please give me an MIP” and admitted to drinking cranberry juice and vodka. The man was cited on charges of minor in possession and the incident was referred to the Dean of Students Office. Before the man was released he told police, “Thank you for your service to this country.”

Six skateboards confiscated while not in use

UAPD officers responded to the University Services Annex, 220 W. Sixth St., on Oct. 9 at 4:39 p.m. in reference to skateboarders performing tricks. Upon arrival, officers made contact with six men, all in possession of skateboards. Police questioned the men, who all admitted to riding but denied performing tricks. Officers impounded the men’s skateboards and cited them all on charges of skateboarding in a prohibited area. The men were warned against trespassing and were released on scene. The skateboards were placed into evidence.

Woman tries to boost beanie from bookstore

UAPD officers responded to the UofA Bookstore on Oct. 9 at 4:50 p.m. in reference to an alleged shoplifter. Upon arrival, officers met with a bookstore employee who told them a woman had been detained for trying to steal merchandise. According to the employee, the woman picked up a beanie hat and removed the price tags. She then concealed the beanie in her purse and attempted to leave the store. The beanie was valued at $22. The woman was cited on charges of shoplifting and released on scene and the incident was referred to the Dean of Students Office. A copy of the surveillance footage has been entered into evidence.

Drinks are not on the house

UAPD officers were eastbound on Speedway Boulevard approaching Campbell Avenue on Oct. 10 at 1:09 a.m. when they observed several men on the sidewalk engage in a struggle. Officers made contact with the group and observed one man being restrained on the ground. Officers asked the group to let go of the man and he was then placed in handcuffs. Several of the group members told police that they were employees of Dirtbag’s Bar, 1800 E. Speedway Blvd. They claimed the man stole beer. According to the man in custody, he bought two pitchers of beer and did not want to pay for any more drinks, so he stole three Corona Light beer bottles from an ice trough behind the bar. Dirtbag’s employees did not wish to press charges, but only if the man paid for the beer he stole. The man agreed and paid his tab. He was released on scene.

Police break up late night pool party

UAPD officers were dispatched to Hillebrand Aquatic Center on Oct. 10 at 12:11 a.m. in reference to an alarm. Upon arrival police observed a man walking near the south side of the pool, wearing only shorts and flip-flops. As the man approached, officers noticed that he was dripping wet. When officers questioned the man, he claimed to have run through a sprinkler. According to police, the man was loud, belligerent and refused to answer questions. Two other men approached officers from the same direction as the first man. Police then observed two women walking along the bleachers inside the pool area, and ordered them to exit immediately. The women claimed that the three men had entered the pool area and then helped them in. They told police they had only been “hanging out.” All five were cited on charges of trespassing and were released on scene. The incident has been referred to the Dean of Students Office. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

“How do you think the guys feel who are over there fighting, if they (the demonstrators) are doing bad things like this,”the driver told the Daily Wildcat. Meanwhile, the Daily Wildcat reported about 50 people gathered around a television set in the Student Union, cheering and clapping for the NewYork Mets. The Daily Wildcat editorial board itself called President Richard Nixon to task for failing to take aggressive steps to end the conflict. “The American people have seen no evidence that the Nixon administration is capable of ending the war in Vietnam,”the Daily Wildcat wrote.“They have seen a series of troop withdrawals, yes. But they have also seen the continued fighting, continued stalemate at the peace table and continued

loss of young American lives.” In another editorial page article, the Daily Wildcat’s city editor, Marc Adams, called out anti-war activists for heckling ROTC cadets at a cross planting ceremony on the Mall earlier in the week. “Here it becomes obvious that too many bleeding-heart liberals are no better than advocates of the far right who insist everyone with a beard is a Marxist,”Adams wrote. “Too many liberals insist every uninformed human being is a fascist, a‘Bircher’or a warmonger.” Another letter writer, Keith Shein, expressed dismay at having seen another ROTC cadet kicking over the same memorial crosses on the Mall. “I asked him why he did it,” Shein wrote, ”He did not stop, but

over his shoulder he said,‘Those crosses shouldn’t be in my way.’” However, despite being“horrified,”Shein wrote that perhaps he was too quick to judge the cadet. “Why did I try to label this person? Why did I feel so adverse to someone whose political beliefs differ from mine?”he wrote.“Why did I, who espouse peace and love, look at him with hatred?” Shein concluded that setting others apart and failing to understand their perspective only ends in name-calling and misunderstanding. “After an individual takes off a ROTC uniform or a Black Power button, or a black armband, he remains a person,”Shein wrote. “Let’s forget an individual’s identifying veneer and ask him what his name is.”

Arizona 43, Stanford 38

Comeback ’Cats

Foles leads football past Cardinal in offensive explosion By Brian Kimball ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT When all the craziness was over, the Arizona football team came out on top. Just a week after losing due to some big plays late in the game against Washington, the Wildcats (4-2, 2-1 Pacific 10 Conference) made some big plays of their own to come from behind and beat Stanford 43-38 Saturday night at Arizona Stadium. Junior running back Nic Grigsby burned the Cardinal in a blitz as he weaved his way 57 yards down the left sideline for a score with 2:57 left in the game to put the Wildcats ahead. Then the onus was on the UA defense to come up with a stop to win the game. After giving up more than 400 passing yards, Arizona hunkered down. Cornerback Trevin Wade swatted down a pass in the end zone and helped the Wildcats scratch out a win. “Sometimes there’s no magical answers — you either make the plays or they do,” said UA defensive coordinator Mark Stoops . “I’ll take credit for us not playing well and them out-coaching us early in that game. “I’ll put that on myself not doing a good enough job of putting us in positions to be successful,” he added. “Sometimes it just comes down to not making a play. Our guys finally started making some plays later.” The Arizona offense was making plays all night long, mostly via Nick Foles and his passing game. In his third career start, Foles completed 40 of 51 passes for 415 yards and three touchdowns. He didn’t turn the ball over and was never sacked. “He has great poise and decision-making and coolness,” said UA head coach Mike Stoops of Foles . “He just presents a presence for us. I think the other team feels that presence and that’s an important factor.” And if the other team feels his presence, his own teammates are seemingly an extension of it. With senior wide receiver Delashaun Dean out because of a leg injury, other Wildcat receivers needed to step up in his absence. Sophomore Juron Criner hauled in a career-high 12 passes for 152 yards; senior Terrell Turner had nine grabs for 101 yards and one score; and sophomore David Douglas caught seven passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns. On a night when the UA defense didn’t play well, the offense kept the team in the game and won it in the end. To prove just how pleased he was with the end result, Mark Stoops showed the Wildcat offensive players and coaches some love. “I hugged every one of them, I kissed them all. I’ve been waiting my whole life to win a game like that,” Mark Stoops said with a broad smile. “I’m not proud of the (defensive) effort, but I’m proud of the stops at the end and I’m just happy the offense did a nice job of scoring some points.” But it was the way the team

COMMENTARY By Bobby Stover

scored the points that was most impressive. Foles efficiently drove the offense down the field almost at will in the second half. And while the majority of the damage was done through the air, the ground game made the killer blows. Redshirt freshman Greg Nwoko busted a 43-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter, setting the stage for Grigsby’s dramatic game winner. Arizona probably should have lost, and would have if Stanford converted the 4th-and-short play deep in UA territory with five minutes left in the game. But the Wildcats didn’t pay attention to what was supposed to happen, and they didn’t panic. They took baby steps that set up their big plays to cap the comeback. “We stress one play at a time,” Foles said. “If you think about the big picture, as a quarterback, you’re probably going to force a big one and try to make a big play, and that’s where interceptions happen, that’s where incomplete passes happen. “I just looked at the defense and took what they gave me,” he added, “and we did a great job.”

Soccer loses, shows promise By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona soccer team played its best game of the season but came up short on a questionable call late in the game in a 1-0 loss to Washington State on Sunday at Mulcahy Staduim. Arizona defender Analisa Marquez attempted to slow down Cougar’s midfielder Mallory Fox, who had found some space behind the Wildcat defenders. Marquez battled for position to prevent a goal but was called for a foul in the penalty box as Fox fell to the ground. “I don’t think they deserved a penalty kick at the end. What the ref said was that I pulled her jersey, and there wasn’t a pull at all,” Marquez

Win brightens football’s outlook

said. “I stepped in between her and the ball so she dove to get a call to our disadvantage. She got it.” Fox was rewarded the penalty shot and took full advantage, booting a laser to the upper right corner of the net over the head of Arizona goalkeeper Devon Wharf to score the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute. “It certainly stings, because the girls did exactly what we asked them to do. I thought we did a fantastic job in neutralizing them and the game came down to a call,” said cointerim head coach John Galas. “It was a little bit of a different team. It’s the team we’ve been waiting to see for a long time.” SOCCER, page 11

sports writer

n unfamiliar aura filled the press room after Arizona football’s 43-38 win over Stanford on Saturday. Head coach Mike Stoops — normally stoic and business-like following games, win or lose — strolled into the room with a grin on his face as he took his seat in front of the microphone with the Arizona backdrop behind him. As he began detailing the game from his view, he seemed relieved and elated. The reporters’ questions were more casual and Stoops’ responses more light-hearted than usual. After the head coach finished, defensive and offensive coordinators Mark Stoops and Sonny Dykes, respectively, entered and spoke with similar tones. Mark Stoops got the reporters laughing at one point after telling them he gave all the offensive players and coaches a kiss for bailing out his defense that allowed 584 yards of offense from the Cardinal. The unusual mood gave insight into just how significant Saturday’s win was for the Wildcats. After a heartbreaking defeat against Washington a week ago, on top of what Mike Stoops described as a “poor week of practice,” Arizona’s confidence was not very high — and it showed, especially defensively, through three quarters of Saturday’s game. Without something to resurrect the Wildcats’ broken spirits, the pieces would have simply blown away. Throughout the first half, the Stanford quarterback, freshman Andrew Luck, thrashed Arizona’s secondary and threw for 231 yards and three touchdowns. Arizona’s offense struggled to keep up the pace, and the Wildcats found themselves down by 15 late in the second quarter. In the second half, Arizona’s defensive issues continued as Luck appeared to always have a receiver down the field who the Wildcats’ secondary missed covering. The result: Arizona down 38-29 with 15 minutes to play — on the verge, once again, of suffering an unexpected defeat. “Our corners were discouraged,” Mark Stoops said.“I kept telling them finish, just finish. I wasn’t very proud of the way we played (Saturday) for the majority of that game.” But something changed in the fourth quarter. Perhaps the very real COMMENTARY, page 11

CHEAP PRICES! V-ball stuffs rivals in Tempe CHEAP PRICES! $$

By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat

TIRES TIRES FROM FROM

Arizona volleyball came away victorious in Tempe on Friday against the ASU Sun Devils — the Wildcats’ first victory on the road against a Pacific 10 Conference team in more than two years. The Arizona attack was efficient last week against the Oregon schools, and that trend continued against ASU. Junior outside hitter Whitney Dosty and sophomore middle blocker Courtney Karst led the way for the Wildcats, tallying 19 and 15 kills, respectively. “Whitney and Courtney both played great,” said head coach Dave Rubio.“It’s always nice to grab a conference win on the road.” Arizona (15-3, 4-3 Pac-10) took the lead early on the Sun Devils (11-7, 1-6), going up 14-9 in the first set. ASU, however, battled back to make the score 15-13 and eventually took the lead 20-19. The Wildcats, led by Dosty, made a 5-2 run to take the set 25-23. “I was pleased with (the) effort, but felt we could have been a little sharper,”Rubio said. Arizona again took the lead early in the second set. The 10-7 score gave way to a 12-4 run for the Wildcats, who took the set 25-18. Arizona only dropped one set to the rival Sun Devils, by a score of 21-25. After the break, the Wildcats opened up an 11-7 lead over ASU and never looked back. They took the set and the match with a 25-14 score. The Wildcats continue their play on the road next week when they make a trip to the Bay Area to play both California and Stanford.

Successful lake outing for Tricats Twelve Arizona Tricat members had a successful outing at the Powell3 Triathlon at Lake Powell on Saturday, despite organizational issues. “It was a good race, but unfortunately, it wasn’t very organized in terms of the timing and everything,” said sophomore Tricat Neil Segel, who took seventh overall in the intermediate men’s division. “But for now, I think the team standings are tentatively UC Boulder in first, then we (Arizona) were second, with the Air Force behind us, then NAU, ASU and BYU.” Official team results were yet to be posted

Extra Serving:

• Senior libero Alanna Resch tallied her 1,000th dig during the match at ASU. She finished the night with 12 digs to bring her total to 1,011. • The Wildcats now sit at third place in the Pac-10, behind Washington and Stanford. • Arizona’s win ended a three game losing streak against ASU in Tempe and gave the Wildcats their first conference win on the road since Oct. 4, 2007.

as of Sunday afternoon, but at the individual level, the Tricats were content with their performance. “No crazy crashes — it was all pretty successful,” Segel said. “My goal was 2:10 and I finished 2:10:15, 15 seconds off my goal. I was really happy with that even though the finish line was a little iffy.” Segel finished first for Arizona, followed closely by teammate Nick Ahrendt, who came in 14th overall. On the women’s side, Claire Moty and Jaclyn Applegate placed first and second for the Tricats, sixth and seventh places overall. The Powell course was fast and wide open for the team, as the track allowed the athletes room to really haul on the bikes over a relatively

flat surface without hills or other obstacles. “Bike was extremely fast — I got up to I think 46 miles per hour at one point. It was like a flying bike,” Segel said.“And the swim was pretty good — not too long or too short. I think it was right on point.” After the race, the Tricats took full advantage of the lake environment and relaxed on the beach with the other triathlete teams. “We stayed for the awards ceremony for a while and then camped out on the beach and it was (Arizona), NAU and Boulder. We just hung out and had a party on the beach,” Segel said. “It was awesome. I learned 20 new names and I’ll see these guys again at (Lake) Havasu and at Nationals. You definitely meet some friendly people.”

Q Do animals carry STDs? A. While this column usually addresses sexual health and relationship issues among Homo sapiens, the answer to your question underscores the link between humans and other animals in the origin and spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Yes, STDs are found throughout the animal kingdom, and are common among both domestic and wild animals, infecting everything from cattle to koalas, to dogs, birds and even some invertebrates. Because of their economic and social significance, STDs in farm animals tend to be understood best. Among these, one of the most prevalent is brucellosis, also known as undulant fever, which can infect domestic livestock, including cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and other mammals. In addition to its toll on infected animals, brucellosis is a concern since it has the ability to be passed to humans through the consumption of unpasteurized milk or soft cheeses made from milk of infected livestock, although this is rare due to modern disease control practices. There is also evidence that gonorrhea came to humans from cattle, and syphilis may have been transmitted to people from cows or sheep, possibly through sex. Wild animals are known to contract STDs as well, and much of what we know about them is from

veterinarians and researchers who work with captive animals in zoos. In particular, scientists have looked to these animals to learn more about human STDs and how they might be prevented. For example, herpes in captive baboons has shed light on the transmission of genital herpes in humans and recent progress on a Chlamydia vaccine for koalas may offer similar breakthroughs for people down the road. By definition, we tend to think of STDs as being transmitted through sexual or intimate contact, but many disease-causing agents can be spread in other ways. The transmission of the HIV virus, for example, is thought to have occurred when African hunters came into contact with infected blood from chimpanzees. Following that jump, HIV was then able to spread among humans through both sexual and non-sexual (e.g. contaminated needles used by IV drug users) contact. Whether talking about animals or people, the means by which STDs are controlled remains the same: stopping transmission, screening, diagnosing, and treating infections. For more information on a wide range of sexual health issues, including STDs, check out www.health.arizona.edu.

Football avoids downward spiral

possibility of suffering a devastating, secondstraight conference loss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at home, no less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; finally sunk in for the Arizona defense. Whatever it was, Mark Stoopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense finally began making stops and kept the Cardinal off the board on four straight possessions in the fourth quarter. Arizona quarterback Nick Foles and his offense could now gain steady ground on Stanford for the first time since the first quarter. With three minutes left, the comeback became complete as running back Nic Grigsby sprinted 57 yards for the go-ahead score. Those loyal enough to have remained in their seats at Arizona Stadium erupted in cheers, and for the first time all night, confidence was apparent throughout the entire Arizona sideline. After cornerback Trevin Wade knocked away Luckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final end zone attempt, the smile Mike Stoops brought to his postgame press conference made its first appearance, and like all the other

Tennisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Zafiros cruises in Malibu By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis team made a statement at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional tournament in Malibu, Calif., by winning 14 total matches and having a player advance to the semi-finals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Players one through six in the lineup are capable of winning a match against anybody right now, and that gives us a lot of confidence going forward,â&#x20AC;? head coach Tad Berkowitz said. In the first round, juniors Andres Carrasco and Geoff Embry, as well as sophomore Jason Zafiros, all enjoyed victories. Carrasco battled back after losing his first set of the match to come away with the win, while Zafiros and Embry took care of their opponents in straight sets. Seniors Andres Arango, who was seeded number eight in the tournament, and Ravid Hazi had first-round byes in the singles bracket. Hazi lost his second-round match, but joined Arango in the doubles bracket where the tandem played all the way into the quarterfinals until they were defeated. In the round of 64 players, three

more Wildcats advanced. This time, Arango joined Zafiros and Carrasco in knocking off their opponents, while Embry played tough tennis against Hawaiiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-seeded Dennis Lajola in a 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 loss. Arizona continued to build momentum on the court in the round of 32 as the trio of Arango, Carrasco and Zafiros all notched victories to advance into the fourth round. Carrasco fell behind against thirdseeded Matt Brooklyn of UCLA after dropping the first set, but rallied again to seal a win. Arango and Carrasco both fell to their opponents in the round of 16, but Zafiros knocked off second-seeded, ITA No. 21 ranked Bassam Beidas from Pepperdine 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. On Sunday, Zafiros further validated his confidence on the court by defeating San Diego Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Juan Gomez in straight sets 6-2, 7-5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing it right now,â&#x20AC;? Berkowitz said. Zafiros will face Alex Llompart from Pepperdine in a match-up of players from two top tennis programs today at 11 a.m. The winner will advance to the finals, which will be held on Tuesday.

SOCCER

players and coaches on the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sideline, the grin never subsided. The Arizona players exited the field knowing their sub-par play nearly earned them a defeat that would have torn their already-meager confidence to shreds. But instead, they proved to themselves how tough they are and found a way to regain the composure they lost last weekend at Washington. Then, they put together a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback to salvage a season that could have easily spiraled out of control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we had to step up,â&#x20AC;? Grigsby said after the game.â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose at home.â&#x20AC;? The Wildcats played mediocre football for 45 minutes Saturday night, but the effort in the final 15 saved their season.

Marquez: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This was the best game weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve playedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Arizona (3-11-1, 0-4-0 Pacific 10 Conference) had an excellent opportunity to tie the game with under a minute left on a point-blank shot by midfielder Alex Davis that went high and wide left. In the first half, the Wildcats came out looking like a much different team than the previous 14 games of the season. Arizona moved the ball with an offensive rhythm that it had been lacking all season. The Wildcats outshot the Cougars 6-3 in the first half and created several scoring opportunities, which gave a brand new look to the offensive attack. In the 33rd minute, Davis beat Washington State goalkeeper Meghan Berlingo to the ball outside the right side of the penalty box. Kicking past Berlingo, Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ball did everything but go in as it went out to the left side of the net. The Cougars came out strong in the second half but the Wildcats were able to hold them off

Nymeyer wins NCAA Woman of the Year

Former Arizona swimmer Lacey Nymeyer became the 19th recipient of the prestigious 2009 NCAA Woman of the Year Award during a ceremony last night in Indianapolis, Ind. The Olympic silver medalist was selected by a committee of NCAA schools as one of the nine finalists for the award, which celebrates female student-athletes who excel in the field, classroom and community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the opportunities provided to me through my participation in college athletics, I doubt I would have such a clear sense of self-worth and purpose outside the skills of my sport,â&#x20AC;? Nymeyer said in a personal statement. Nymeyer, who also won the Pacific 10 Conference Woman of the Year Award, was a two-time conference swimmer of the year for the Wildcats and becomes the second swimmer in three years to represent head coach Frank Busch and Co. on the national stage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Whitney Myers won the award in 2007. Tanya Hughes, an Arizona high jumper, won the award in 1994. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Arizona Daily Wildcat

W-golf finishes seventh at Stanford

The UA Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team once again struggled with consistency

each time they made a threat to score. In the second half, Washington State kicked all five of the two teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; combined corner kicks. Despite the early second-half surge by the Cougars, the Wildcats still managed to outshoot them 12-6 for the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the best game weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played this year,â&#x20AC;? Marquez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a total team effort we look at as a positive moving forward, considering we played our best soccer today.â&#x20AC;? Despite the improved offense, Arizona failed to score for the fourth consecutive game and lost its sixth straight game. The Wildcats were missing leading goal scorer Renae Cuellar to flu-like symptoms. Cuellar is expected to be back for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next game against ASU. After a tough loss, the Wildcats will now prepare for an always-challenging game against the Sun Devils on Friday at 7 p.m. at Mulcahy Stadium.

BRIEFS this weekend on its way to a seventh-place finish at the Stanford Intercollegiate event. After an impressive 284 even par round one, the wheels came off for the Wildcats. The team fired a round two 301, 17-over-par, leaving them in seventh place and 30 strokes behind first place ASU. The disastrous second round set the Wildcats back, and a final-round 292, 8-over-par landed them in seventh. The team finished with a score of 879, 27-over-par. Despite the disappointing finish, the sophomore duo of Isabelle Boineau and Margarita Ramos led the way for coach Shelly Haywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad. Through three events, Boineau and Ramos were the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only golfers to finish a tournament under par. Boineau took home her second top15 finish of the fall season, placing 13th after a three-round total of 214, 1-overpar. She carded a round-one 1-underpar 70, followed by a 2-over-par 73 and an even par 71. Boineau finished the tournament with ten birdies, nine bogeys and a double bogey. Like Boineau, Ramos was very solid through two rounds. Her 1-overpar 72 in each of the first two rounds had her tied for the team lead. Ramos, who finished fifth and 18th in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two tournaments, once again carded a 72 for a threeround total of 216, 3-over-par, and a

21st place finish. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Mike Schmitz

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s XC takes sixth at NCAA Pre-Nationals

Arizona womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross-country finished in sixth place in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA Pre-National Meet in Terre Haute, Ind., behind junior Maggie Callahanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18th place finish. Callahan covered the 6,000-meter course â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is where this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA National Championships will be held â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 21:06.2, a personal best. She was followed by freshmen Lauren Smith and Cami Jackson, who finished in 39th and 50th places, respectively. The event was broken into two events to accommodate the 37 Division I womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams in attendance. Hoping to make the NCAA National Championships, the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team average time of finishing was 13th among the large field. For the men, who were again hobbled by injuries, senior Dylan Fitzpatrick led the team with a 104th place finish. His time of 25:13.7 in the 8,000m race led the Arizona team, which finished in 27th place out of 34 teams. Junior Mohamud Ige was held out of the event altogether while top-3 runner Victor Zazueta struggled after coming off a minor injury. Zazueta came in fifth for the Arizona team. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Arizona Daily Wildcat
