District 8 debate ignites UA Hecklers interrupt candidates’ discussion points By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Yells from fervent supporters and hecklers slightly distracted participants in the 8th Congressional District debate on the UA campus on Monday night, which focused on many issues, most zealously immigration and education. “You’re a bottom feeder,” “Apples and oranges” and “You’re a liar” were just some of the many yelps from the audience. Lines ran out the door at 4 p.m. for the 7 p.m. debate in the South Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center. So many community members showed up that the crowd split in half, sending many to watch the live stream of the debate in

Pre-pharmacy sophomore Amy Naber, left, for the UA Women’s Rugby club, and pre-physiology sophomore Cassie Casanova, for the TwirlCats club, race through a blow-up obstacle course in the Club Olympics on the UA Mall on Monday. The race, put on by Bobcats Senior Honorary, is the first of many events through Friday where clubs compete for extra funding.

Campus clubs compete for Homecoming cash prizes By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Members of campus clubs raced through an inflatable obstacle course Monday, kicking off a week of competitions before Homecoming. The Bobcats Senior Honorary will continue to hold a different challenge for Club Olympics on the UA Mall between noon and 1 p.m. every day of Homecoming week. The remaining events include sumo wrestling, pie throwing and tug-of-war. Clubs collect points throughout the week based on how they place in each competition. The club with the most points at the end of the week will win $1,000. Clubs ranked second and third will also receive money. “It’s based on those events and also things like spirit,” said physics senior Mike

Stefferson, a member of Bobcats Senior Honorary. Bobcats Senior Honorary holds the competitions annually along with other traditions, such as the yearly lighting of ”A” Mountain. Psychology senior Lindsay Cohen, a member of Bobcats Senior Honorary, said the competitions raise interest in Homecoming weekend. “It’s for spirit before Homecoming,” Cohen said. “It also serves as a good fundraiser for clubs.” Several groups, including the Mortar Board National Senior Honor Society, Students Optics Chapter, and Chain Gang Junior Honorary have signed up to participate this year. Chemical engineering sophomore Daniel Tellez represented Sophos Sophomore

Honorary in the obstacle course race, which included a pool at the end. Tellez got second place. “I lost,” Tellez said. “It was really slippery over there.” He said the course was a fun way to celebrate Homecoming week. “I wasn’t expecting to get this wet today,” Tellez said. “It’s a great environment to be in.” Some students watched the event between classes or while walking past the Mall. “It looks pretty fun,” said Candy Horton, a graduate studying special education. “It’s a great way to kick off Homecoming week.” Tellez said the competitions build community, even between competitors. “Especially when all the honoraries come together,” Tellez said. “Everyone just gets a little closer.”

EVERYONE HAS A STORY Dance prof taught in post-communist nations after fall of Berlin Wall By Abigail Richardson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT “Everyone Has a Story” is a weekly segment in the Arizona Daily Wildcat aiming to tell the story of an interesting person on the UA campus.

Nielsen has shared his teaching philosophy around the world and at more than 40 different universities. “A good teacher should become unnecessary,” he said. “That is something that I believe in. That is my main philosophy. I am teaching everything I know. I am not holding back. There are no secrets. This is it. This is who I am. This is what I know. This is everything.” Throughout his life, Nielsen has worked for the American Dance Festival, the Rockefeller

I have taught internationally, and by teaching internationally you find out that we are all humans, we are all people.” By traveling, Nielsen has been able to incorporate his experiences into his dances. “I think you are influenced,” Nielsen said. “You can’t help but be influenced wherever you are, especially in choreography … If you really have your antennas up, things are going to start to channel into your work.” When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, Nielsen began teaching modern dance in post-

journalism and business management junior How do you feel about long-distance lovin’ in college? They tend to not work out that well. I’ve had, not myself experienced, but many of my friends have, and I’m telling you right now it consists of fighting and yelling, and you don’t have as much fun in college, sorry. Do you feel that it is a waste of time? Yeah, I do. Not a good idea. You can’t go out and have fun. What would you do if you met your prospective soul mate on an airplane or something, and he lived across the country? I mean, you can always join the Mile High club. I don’t know. You can have some airplane fun for a while, Skype always works, texting works. If it’s true love, it’s true love, and fate always works out in the end. Do you have a Blackberry phone by any chance? No, I have some Verizon phone; it’s not a smart phone. Me too, and I feel like we are the only people left on the planet that don’t have 3G phones. I know. My parents would not let me have one because it costs extra money. I hate my phone. What is the purpose of having a laptop when your phone basically is one but in smaller physical form? I know. I completely agree. But you know what, I’m working my way toward the Droid, the new Droid. I really want it. Droid incredible, what is the new one called? I have no idea. Yeah, well I want it, and we’ll see what happens with that. I’m pushing for the iPhone, but by the time I get my hands on it, it will probably be an actual computer. You would look so hightech carrying that thing around, I cannot wait for it. It will be like 16G by then. What is an invention you are waiting to see from Apple, since they are pretty much taking over the world, that would make your life easier? Anything Harry Potter. Anything from Harry Potter is what needs to be invented by Apple. So like a real-life Hogwarts? Yes, yes, and I will be admitted to Hogwarts and love life and marry Harry Potter. — Caroline Nachazel

Facebook issues privacy warning Facebook issued a stern warning to independent developers Monday in response to reports that some applications on the site were sharing identifying information about users. At the same time, a Facebook engineer said media coverage of the leak has exaggerated how much information can be, and has been, shared with third parties. “Our policy is very clear about protecting user data, ensuring that no one can access private user

information without explicit user consent,” Facebook engineer Mike Vernal said on a blog used by people who develop apps for the site. “Further, developers cannot disclose user information to ad networks and data brokers. “We take strong measures to enforce this policy, including suspending and disabling applications that violate it.” A report by The Wall Street Journal found that some of Facebook’s most popular apps, including the game

FarmVille by social network game company Zynga, were being used to share users’ personal information with more than 25 advertisers and online tracking companies. According to the Journal, the apps were sharing the unique “Facebook ID” numbers that are assigned to every user on the site and can be used to look up a person’s name — even if that person has set all of his or her Facebook information to be private. — CNN

Today’s birthday You tend to overestimate your capabilities now. You have great luck, though, when you get in too deep and magically find an excellent escape route. To keep the stress level to a minimum, practice counting to five before you leap into action. Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 7 — Create necessary down time for yourself. You need to think things through alone, without interference. There’s time to share insights later. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 5 — Wisdom emerges from conversations among the team. Each person contributes ideas to improve the results. Capture their brilliance with notes. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 5 — The key to success today is to allow creativity to move between a variety of activities. That way, you have time for yourself and others. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) — Today is a 7 — Keep ideas flowing among family members about vacation plans. Don’t pin down the itinerary until later. New possibilities emerge. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — Don’t measure imagination with a logical yardstick. Instead, allow each idea to grow at its own rate, free from restrictions. Bring them down to earth later. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 — Talk seems cheap. In the long run, it proves to be the only way to accomplish your optimistic goal. Make sure the communication flows both ways.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — There’s plenty of mental activity in your circle right now. They focus on emotional issues. Your thoughts pursue logic instead. Blend both. Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — You need fun today, regardless of what coworkers require of you. Joke around while handling serious matters. Notice where exuberance meets practicality. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) — Today is a 5 — Circumstances require a major adjustment in your game plan. You want to satisfy everyone, but that’s unlikely. Prioritize, and soothe feelings later. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) — Today is an 8 — Ideas fly around at light speed. Snag as many as you can, and take note for future reference. It’s all valuable information you might want to remember. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — You benefit personally when others reveal their logical process. You understand what they want, and learn a new way of manipulating data. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) — Today is an 8 — Focus your feelings toward empathy. Others get bad news, and you can help them through a difficult moment. Assist with troubling phone calls.

FEATURE ASUA president focuses debate questions Dance ‘was on higher education, citizenship path for youth never a job’ continued from page 1

Valentina Martinelli/Arizona Daily Wildcat

From left, Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Republican Jesse Kelly and Libertarian Steven Stoltz debate in the South Ballroom in the Student Union Memorial Center on Monday. The candidates discussed issues ranging from health care to education.

Two journalists, Jim Nintzel of the Tucson Weekly and Dan Shearer of the Green Valley News and Sun, and a student voice, Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Emily Fritze, sat on the panel with Conover asking questions of the candidates. On Giffords’ campaign’s top priority, the border, the two-term representative defended stationary Border Patrol checkpoints and hoped to reform the health care bill by reviving a provision to aid hospitals that serve a large illegal immigrant population. In answering Fritze’s question about the DREAM Act, which would provide youth with a six-year higher education or two-year military service path to citizenship, Giffords said, “They come here at 1 and 2 years old, all they know is English, all they know is America. It is not fair to them to let the best and the brightest not to receive an education.” Kelly, in favor of a double-layer border fence and ramping up Border Patrol along the border, countered Giffords with his position, stating “the path to citizenship starts in your country of citizenship.” His positions of the night favored his take on limited government and free market solu-

He came out against the DREAM Act. Stoltz, who responded to questions most of the night with backings of toning down bank controls on the American economy and recognizing the Constitution when making governmental decisions also felt the DREAM Act was not in his best interest to support. “The way you’ve described it, it sounds nice … but I don’t think I can support it based on what I’ve heard about the other ‘gotchas’ in it.” Fritze asked about Arizona’s public and higher education after the stimulus mon-

ey terminates and the state abandons its 2006 funding levels. “The federal government came in with the stimulus money … and then $100 million cut from our university and here at the university, that is … we cannot continue to say we are a great state and prepare our future if we continue to make those cuts,” Giffords said. Kelly said, “Keeping the federal government and Nancy Pelosi as far away from my kid’s education as possible,” citing parents are where the education system needs to take their cues. Stoltz cited Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution and cited government favoritism, a problem he wanted to change, as the reason for disparities in educational funding. The debate ended with two standing ovations, one for Jesse Kelly with about one-eighth of the audience and another for Gabrielle Giffords, which encompassed nearly two-thirds of the audience in the ballroom. The next debates between Giffords and Kelly are Oct. 20 at the Buena High School Performing Arts Center in Sierra Vista at 5:30 p.m and Oct. 22 on the Arizona Illustrated program broadcast on KUAT at 6:30 p.m.

own voice. That was basically my mission. Not to teach them what I do, but to teach them free thinking. They have redefined dance in their own way. They are not imitating me.” The “experiment” became known as the Guangdong Modern Dance Company, which still exists. Nielsen was able to use his passion for dance in Israel where he danced in the Batsheva Dance Company. “Israel to me has always been a fascinating place because of the fact that they embraced modern dance early on,” he said. “I never saw anything dangerous … I remember sitting in with the carpet dealer for four hours drinking Turkish coffee and him saying the carpet was $500. Then he would say ‘You say, you say,’ and I said $5. Then we’d laugh and then I would end up spending all my salary on a carpet. Jerusalem, to me, was an ancient city, and at the same time it was almost like a city of the future because you have the Christians, the Muslims and the Jews all together.” In addition to his travels, Nielsen has also enjoyed collaborating with the UA’s School of Art, the School of Music and the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Recently, he choreographed a dance at the Tucson Museum of Art where he changed the concept of a typical stage performance. “I had 24 dancers dance in what they call the ‘well gallery,’” he said. “The audience was seeing a dance from above and that was the first time that I think most people have seen a dance from above … Here, they were in the light, in the space looking overhead and they were part of the performance. That kind of project excites me.” Nielsen worked in New York for 25 years, Hollywood for 10, and has now worked at the UA for five. “Dance for me was never a job,” Nielsen said. “It’s who I am. It’s a life. Even working here, I don’t feel like it’s a job. It’s just what I do.”

Psilocybin’s legality deserves evaluation Gregory J. Gonzales Arizona Daily Wildcat

F

orget about medical marijuana for a second; after all, if marijuana — once considered a terrible drug — is now perceived to have medical value, surely it isn’t alone. Another overlooked and benign substance is psilocybin, the psychoactive chemical in “magic mushrooms.” Psilocybin is a tryptamine, meaning it resembles serotonin, which plays a part in body temperature, mood, sensory perception and pain in humans. Humans have been eating psilocybincontaining mushrooms for more than 10,000 years — so there is no denying that it has had an effect on our culture — and it’s now making a comeback in the field of psychopharmacology. Hippies aren’t the only ones who know about psilocybin; researchers have shown that it is a very useful tool. A University of California, Los Angeles, study showed that psilocybin produces profound spiritual experiences and improvements in behavior in cancer patients; it helps them deal with their anxiety about death. Other studies concluded that psilocybin is effective against Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, cluster headaches, depression and end-of-life anxiety. Yet psilocybin remains a Schedule I narcotic, along with drugs like cocaine, meth and heroin. Why deny effective treatment to people suffering from such horrible conditions? What’s the problem? Nora D. Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, stated in a post on the NIDA website that psilocybin is not addictive but can cause psychosis in “susceptible individuals.” This is misleading. The effect of psilocybin almost entirely relies on the preconceptions of an individual about the experience (set) and the environment which the person is in for the duration of the experience (setting). When the set and setting are right, psilocybin is a great treatment for the conditions previously mentioned. Physiological effects actually caused by the drug include increase in body temperature, dilated pupils and increased heart rate, and it can sometimes induce vomiting. The chemical itself does not damage the user in any way. There is no reason for psilocybin to remain a Schedule I narcotic; it doesn’t even qualify as one, considering that it is not addictive and yields minimal health risks. When I emailed State Senator Linda Lopez to ask her opinion on psilocybin research, she responded, “I’m very much opposed to classifying psilocybin as a Schedule I, especially since it can preclude research. Research on this hallucinogen is important for all of us.” And indeed it is. If we can improve the quality of life for people through psychedelic therapy and do so effectively, what are we waiting for? There are no valid reasons for the current drug laws regarding psilocybin. Bad policies like our drug laws should not get in the way of good science. And if words like “psychedelic” or “hallucinogen” scare you, I beg you to look at something beyond bad ’90s pamphlets and lava lamps. Try reading some of the studies on the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies website, or look at some of the publications in the Journal of Psychopharmacology. Unlike “Above the Influence,” those sources will actually give you good data to look at and evidence for their claims. Consider the end of your own life — will you be calm at the moment of your death? If psilocybin effectively treats our anxieties about death, everyone should have interest in this drug. However, I do not think that we have done enough research to have psychologists handing out psilocybin pills or bags of mushrooms to patients; let’s stop arguing like children, look at the big picture and actually get some research done. — Gregory Gonzales is a sophomore majoring in journalism and philosophy.

Daily Wildcat columnists weigh in on the upcoming midterm election.

Proposition 106 places ideology before human lives

This November, Arizonans will vote on nine ballot referendums put forth by the state’s Legislature, one of which will include the Freedom of Choice in Healthcare Act, also known as Proposition 106. If passed, the referendum would amend Arizona’s Constitution, prohibiting any law from compelling individual participation in any health care system. A similar measure was defeated in 2008. Proposition 106 is a foolhardy attempt to sidestep the enactment of last year’s federal health care reform bill, H.R. 3200, which requires all citizens to purchase health insurance or risk a fine. Escalating health insurance costs are the result of uninsured individuals who receive emergency room care. In 2001, the uninsured were the recipients of approximately $35 billion in uncompensated medical services. These costs were passed on to the medically insured in the form of higher health insurance premiums. Mandated health insurance would prevent such a scenario, helping to reign in out-of-control health care expenditures. Proponents of Proposition 106, who include Dr. Eric Novack and Gov. Jan Brewer, are fully aware of the cost-cutting

effects federally mandated health insurance would have on this country’s health care system. But the reality is they don’t care about health care affordability or the 45,000 Americans who will die annually due to lack of health insurance. Proposition 106 is another attempt by the far right to discredit this country’s president and preserve the status quo. The measure is also a gargantuan waste of money, as it will cost taxpayers thousands of dollars in litigation fees. Supporters of the Freedom of Choice in Healthcare Act have placed ideology before human lives. Vote “no” on Proposition 106 this November. — Nyles Kendall is a political science junior.

Proposition 109’s ambiguity makes it treacherous

A radical anti-hunting agenda is threatening to take away your right to hunt every day, which is why Proposition 109 will give people a constitutional right to “hunt, fish and harvest wildlife.” Except that such an agenda cannot be found anywhere, and Proposition 109 seems to be much more of a play for dominance than an attempt to protect your fundamental rights.

Proposition 109 grants the Arizona Legislature “exclusive authority” to regulate hunting, fishing and harvesting. The Legislature may give authority to a game and fish commission. Proposition 109 also vaguely curtails any rule that will “unreasonably restrict hunting, fishing or harvesting of wildlife or the use of traditional means and methods for those activities.” Does anyone need to be reminded that Arizona has already demonstrated a difficulty with defining what is reasonable and what is not? It’s hard to miss the invitation to conflict that will be centered solely on what kind of hunting restrictions qualify as “unreasonable.” Besides that, the measure defines hunting and fishing as a right, not a privilege, which presents the challenge of balancing a citizen’s fundamental rights with the protection of the environment. Regulating hunting and fishing laws require the work of experts. These experts are not focused on politics and currying favor with voters but are instead devoted to state’s natural resources. Proposition 109 hands unnecessary power to the Legislature on a platter. There are a lot of reasons to accuse the Legislature of incompetence. There’s no need to add another. — Kristina Bui is a sophomore majoring in journalism and political science.

Experience makes Rotellini best choice for attorney general Andrew Shepherd

O

Arizona Daily Wildcat

n Nov. 2, Arizona voters should have more on their minds than just the governor’s race or the fate of Congress, as there’s another significant race that shouldn’t be forgotten. The attorney general is Arizona’s top legal officer and is in charge of the state’s largest law firm. The attorney general works to prosecute criminals throughout the state, including drug and human smugglers and those who commit mortgage and accounting fraud, and acts as a financial watchdog by enforcing regulations on businesses. This November, the correct choice for this office is obvious: Arizonans should vote for Felecia Rotellini. Rotellini is an aggressive prosecutor who has spent the last 18 years in the Office of the Attorney General. In 2006, she was named superintendent of the State Banking Department, in charge of supervising and licensing financial institutions. She has also had extensive trial experience and knows how the attorney general’s office works. It would be hard to find someone with as much prosecuting experience as Rotellini. The attorney general’s office is one that should be above politics. Its purpose is to

enforce the laws of our state, not to interpret the laws or go after politically popular pet projects. Rotellini, although running as a Democrat, is far from an ideologue. Her opponent likes to paint her as a spokesperson for the Obama administration, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. She’s a prosecutor, not a politician. For example, while she is personally opposed to S.B. 1070, she says she recognizes that it’s not the attorney general’s job to pick and choose which laws to enforce. Her opponent, current State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne, is nothing more than an ambitious politician with a track record of failure. Horne currently is in charge of the Arizona public school system, which is widely regarded as one of the worst in the country. He describes himself as a strong conservative, but this description only shows his desire to bring politics into an ideally apolitical office. The state already has enough “strong conservatives” in office and could use someone a little more objective as attorney general. In addition, the attorney general must be ethical, something Horne is definitely

not. In fact, due to his former investment company violating federal regulations, he has a lifetime trading ban from the Securities and Exchange Commission. In other words, it is illegal for him to ever talk about securities to a consumer. Should someone who has a lifetime ban from the SEC really be allowed to prosecute fraud in the state of Arizona? Horne defends himself by saying this happened 40 years ago, which is true, but you don’t get banned for life for over something insignificant. This may have happened a long time ago, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. This is one race where people shouldn’t vote based on the “R” or “D” next to the candidate’s name. It’s an office that requires someone with experience, drive and intelligence. Rotellini is an extremely smart, quick-witted, highly experienced attorney who has worked to protect Arizona consumers. Horne is nothing more than an ideologically driven, overly ambitious politician looking for personal gain and a step toward the governor’s office. He has a terrible record as superintendent of public instruction and a lifetime ban from the SEC. Due to Horne’s obsession with party politics and Rotellini’s excellent qualifications, the choice for attorney general couldn’t be clearer: vote for Felecia Rotellini on Nov. 2. — Andrew Shepherd is a political science senior.

POLICEBEAT By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Hindsight is 20-20

A UA student reported that her CatCard and nutrition textbook had been stolen from a table at in the Student Union Memorial Center at 7:45 a.m. on Oct. 11. She reported the incident to the University of Arizona Police Department on Wednesday. A UAPD officer spoke with the victim by telephone at about 4 p.m. on Wednesday. The woman said she had been eating in the student union when she got up from her table to buy a drink. The student said she was gone for no more than three minutes. When she returned, someone had taken her book and CatCard. She has no idea who might have taken the items.

Almighty U-Lock has failed us

A student reported his bicycle had been stolen from the bike racks on the south side of the Electrical and Computer Engineering building at 5:53 p.m. on Wednesday. He believes it might have been stolen sometime between 3 p.m. - 5:50 p.m. When speaking to a UAPD officer, the student reported he had locked his black bike with both a cable lock and U-Lock through the front and back wheels at 3 p.m. Upon returning at 5:50 p.m., both locks were missing. The student had registered the bike with Parking and Transportation Services, and also had his serial number. The student had no idea who might have taken his bike.

If a window shatters in the middle of the UA, can anyone hear it?

A woman reported that a house on campus had one of its windowpanes shattered on Wednesday. The woman, who worked for UA Facilities Management Grounds, told police she discovered the broken windowpane in the courtyard earlier that morning. The officer inspected both the window and the house, though he did not find anyone inside. The time frame of the incident remains unknown due to the fact the house has been vacant for several months. At this time there are no suspects, witnesses or evidence.

Not a drive-by, the bullets weren’t fired

A UAPD officer was walking through a parking lot just west of the police station on Wednesday at 9:35 a.m., when he noticed an unspent round of rifle ammunition lying on the ground. The officer picked up the round and secured it at the UAPD station. The round appears to be of a .223 caliber gun and has markings on the back that say LC-07. The round was lying in the road and was partially smashed and dented, apparently run over by traffic. It was placed into property and evidence, with a request to have it destroyed. 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.

DWSPORTS Coaching staff confident in Scott

Tim Kosch Sports Editor 520•626•2956 sports@wildcat.arizona.edu

Junior to make first start of year after starting the first three games of 2009

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona quarterback Nick Foles went down with a knee injury early in Saturday night’s 24-7 win over Washington State, but the good news is that head coach Mike Stoops doesn’t anticipate it ending Foles’ season. “He’s week-to-week,” Stoops said. “I’ll know next Monday what the likelihood of his earliest return will be. He’ll be back when he’s ready — it’s not a career or season-ending injury. We’ll see how he reacts to certain treatment throughout the week.” Foles’ injury means that Matt Scott, who was Arizona’s starter last season before Foles’ emergence, will be handed the keys to Arizona’s offense for at least the immediate future. Even though Scott has struggled at times, his coaches couldn’t be more confident in his ability to run the offense. “There’s nothing Matt (Scott) can’t do on the football field,” Stoops said. “He has a great arm, great feet and he’s gotten to where he can make the right decisions. We feel very comfortable with Matt, and we’re excited to watch him play.” Quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo mirrored Stoops’ thoughts on what Scott brings to the table. “He moves well, he’s athletic, but he’s a quarterback who happens to be pretty athletic — he’s not a running back,” Scelfo said. “What he does do, he moves well and can find some creases. Where he’s dangerous is when there’s a breakdown, he can find a way to pick up extra yards.” Scott completed 14 of 20 passes for 139 yards including an interception against Washington State, but what he’s best known for is his feet. Arizona might have to shift its game plan to being more focused on running the ball from

the quarterback position. “We’re going to do what gives us the best chance of winning and moving the football,” Stoops said. “What that is, everyone will see on Saturday. All options are open … we have to make plays, and we have to be aggressive.” Scott was sacked five times on Saturday, and Foles was sacked once. The Wildcats have to fix that in order for Scott to have any chance of being successful throwing the ball.

Q& A

Unfortunately for Arizona, several issues caused the sacks. “Some (sacks) were on the quarterback. They were hot reads, and we’ve got to get rid of the football,” Stoops said. “We’ve also got to have somebody open to get rid of it. It’s a combination of a lot of things, but there we just too many sacks in a game. It’s somewhat concerning.” Also on Stoops’ list of concerns is Arizona’s lack of consistency on offense. Against the lowly Cougars, the

NCAA Woman of the Year

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Former Arizona swimmer Justine Schluntz earned the highest honor a female athlete can capture Sunday night — the NCAA Woman of the Year. Schluntz continued a streak of Wildcat swimmers to win the award, as Whitney Myers won it in 2007 and Lacy Nymeyer did the same in 2009. Schluntz beat out eight other finalists and reached the pinnacle of success as she was presented with the award at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Such an achievement is nothing new for Schluntz, who is currently studying as a Rhodes Scholar in Oxford, England, and also has “five-time NCAA National Champion” on her resumé. The Arizona Daily Wildcat spoke to Schluntz Monday

Justine Schluntz

about being named NCAA Woman of the Year, what it says about the Arizona swim and dive program and how her studies in Oxford are going. Daily Wildcat: What was your initial reaction after winning the award? Justine Schluntz: I was completely surprised. After spending the weekend with the other finalists you don’t really think that you have a shot after meeting these other incredible women. Why do you think it was that you ultimately won the award? I don’t know (laughs). I don’t want to speculate, I guess. What was the best part of the whole experience and award ceremony? The best part was meeting the other girls who were up for the award, and we definitely established friendships that will last a long time. What was the reaction like? A lot of texts and phone calls? I didn’t get that many texts because people didn’t know that I turned my U.S. phone back on, but I got a lot of messages on Facebook and a lot of emails from England, which was surprising because people over there don’t even know what the NCAA is, but they still understand that it’s a nice thing (laughs). How was the reaction from your former teammates and coach Frank Busch?

You know I think they’re a little spoiled because we’ve had Whitney (Myers) and Lacy (Nymeyer) and now myself. Everybody’s really happy, obviously. It’s just really cool to have a streak like this going for our swim program. How much do you attribute an award like this to the University of Arizona as a school and the swim program? All of it can be attributed to the opportunities that I’ve been given at the University of Arizona. I don’t think there’s any question about that. When you look at the history that the swimming program has had with the award and you see that it’s just got to be the culture of the team that kind of leads people to being in a position where they can win the award, and that comes from what Frank Busch is doing with the program. It says a lot about him.

• Rhodes Scholar studying in Oxford • Five-time NCAA National Champion • Pac-10 First Team All-Academic Team three consecutive years • A 16-time NCAA All-American • Helped Arizona win its 2008 National Championship

So you’ve been named a Rhodes Scholar, you’ve won NCAA Woman of the Year, where do you go from here? I guess I go back to being a regular student and working hard because that’s what got me where I was in the first place, so I don’t want to stop doing that. How has the Rhodes Scholarship program been going? It’s good. I’ve actually only been there two weeks, and school only started a week ago, then I left on Friday so I haven’t had to do much school, so it’s been great just hanging around England. It’s been really awesome, and I’ve met a lot of really cool people already, and I think I’m going to be meeting a lot more. What’s you goal with the Rhodes Scholarship program? I’m getting my doctorate in engineering science bi-research. It will be at least three years. What’s your ultimate life goal? You would expect me to have a great answer for that, and I don’t. I’m just going to take it as it goes, and I don’t want to be so focused on one goal that I could miss an opportunity that shows up because I have tunnel vision, so I’m just going to keep an open mind and see what happens.

Wildcats only scored on consecutive possessions once, and the offense has been ineffective at times this year. “We’ve had a lot of negative yardage plays, whether it’s penalties or sacks and that just makes it hard to get first downs,” Stoops said. “We’re just not getting the points that I think we’re going to need as we move forward throughout this final six games. That’s really a concern and something we have

to get better at. I’m not pleased with our performance up to this point.” Offenses usually struggle at the beginning of the season, but Stoops said that he hasn’t seen as much improvement as he has in years past. Scoring points is going to be a necessity during the meat of the Pacific 10 Conference schedule. “We thought the offense was FOOTBALL, page A10

Shaq making the best of it Freshman off to stellar start

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but for Shaquille Richardson, the unexpected couldn’t have turned out better. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound freshman cornerback wasn’t expected to start Saturday against Washington State, with starter Trevin Wade supposedly returning from a thigh injury. But Wade couldn’t go, and Richardson went out and snatched two interceptions, collected seven tackles and earned a game ball and Pacific 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors. “To see Shaquille (Richardson) come and play so well, not knowing he was even going to start was a pleasant experience,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “I think being able to play and

hold up as well against some pretty good receivers, I was pretty pleased with that.” Saturday’s game wasn’t the only instance where things didn’t go as planned for Richardson. The Carson, Calif., native wasn’t even supposed to be a Wildcat in 2010 — he was all set to play in UCLA’s Rose Bowl on Saturdays for head coach Rick Neuheisel. But along with receiver Paul Richardson (his cousin) and linebacker Josh Shirley, the freshman corner was dismissed from the team after being involved in an on-campus theft in June. The trio was arrested for felony theft of a student’s bag, and Richardson had to post $20,000 in bail. But because Richardson had yet to practice with the Bruins, he was able to turn that SHAQ, page A10

Hoops’ quiet season kickoff refreshing Depth pushes competitiveness in first week of practice

COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy sports writer

In groups of two, three and four, the UA men’s basketball team trickled out of the Richard Jefferson Gymnasium on a dark and damp Friday evening, concluding the season’s first official practice. “Did it rain?” someone asked. It did. The smell of rain in Tucson is almost as distinct as the smell of

new Nikes or Jordans upon the start of a new basketball season. Now that the storm has passed, UA head coach Sean Miller has reached the calm yet crisp level expected by this point. It’s only the second year of the Miller Era, more accurately, his first full season with all his components, but you could easily mistake it for a much longer tenured continuity. While other programs around the country rocked glamorous season kickoffs — like Midnight Madness at Memphis that drew more than 18,000 fans — Arizona handled its first official practice behind closed doors. “I don’t think we have all the HOOPS, page A10

Supreme Court to Judge tentatively rejects ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ stay request decide civil liberties McClatchy Newspapers RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A federal judge in Riverside who declared the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell� policy banning gays unconstitutional issued a tentative ruling Monday rejecting the federal government’s request to stay her decision while the case is appealed. U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips said the government failed to provide sufficient proof that her injunction halting the policy would cause “irreparable harm� to the military or that the government’s appeal would be successful. Phillips plans to issue her final decision early Tuesday. Paul Freeborne of the U.S. attorney’s office argued that the injunction immediately halting enforcement of the policy, which bans gays and lesbians from serving in the military openly, jeopardized national security. He urged Phillips, who issued the injunction last week, to set aside her decision while the government appealed the ruling and injunction to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. In a sworn declaration submitted to the to the court, Clifford L. Stanley, undersecretary of defense for overall military readiness, cautioned that an abrupt transition would undercut the Pentagon’s work surveying military commands around

the world to determine how best to create a new policy that allows people who are openly homosexual to serve. “The stakes are so high, and the potential harm so great, that caution is in order,� he said. But Phillips on Monday rejected that argument. The judge said her ruling ordered an end to all discharge and separation proceedings under “don’t ask, don’t tell,� but did not prohibit the military from crafting a new policy or educating military personnel about serving side by side with openly gay service members. Phillips also noted that the government failed to produce any evidence during the twoweek trial that showed allowing gays in the military would harm military readiness or troop cohesion. “The arguments by the government are vague. ... and belied by the evidence produced at trial,� Phillips said Monday. She also chastised the federal government lawyers for not filing their objections when she was considering the injunction. In her initial Sept. 9 ruling, Phillips found that ban on gays had a “direct and deleterious effect� on the armed services, including the dismissal of critical military personnel, such as translators. She noted that the Pentagon also violated the policy when it saw fit, routinely delaying the discharge of service

members suspected of violating the law until they completed their deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. During Monday’s hearing, Freeborne also argued that the judge exceeded her authority by issuing an injunction worldwide, as opposed to limiting it to the plaintiffs in the case or within her Southern California district. That argument will be a primary aspect of the government’s appeal. The ruling has put President Barack Obama in a tricky spot. He strongly opposes the “don’t ask, don’t tell� policy, once calling it a threat to national security, but said his administration has an obligation to defend laws passed by Congress. Meantime, the military has suspended enforcement of the policy while Phillips’ injunction is in place. The challenge to the “don’t ask, don’t tell� policy was filed in 2004 by the Log Cabin Republicans, the largest gay GOP political organization. It was the first successful broadbased constitutional challenge to the policy since Congress enacted it in 1993. Dan Woods, the lead attorney for the Log Cabin Republicans, argued during Monday’s hearing that lifting the judge’s injunction would “deprive very patriotic Americans of their constitutional rights� and urged the judge to keep it in place.

suit against Ashcroft McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court intervened again Monday in a lawsuit against a former Bush administration official, agreeing to decide whether former Attorney General John Ashcroft is entirely shielded from claims that he misused the law to arrest terrorism suspects under false pretenses. Obama administration lawyers appealed on Ashcroft’s behalf and asserted that it would “severely damage law enforcement� if the nation’s top law enforcement official could be held liable for abusing his authority. In the last five years, civil libertarians have tried, without much success, to sue former Bush officials for overstepping the law. Last year, the Supreme Court shielded Ashcroft from being sued by Muslim immigrants in the New York area who said they were arrested and abused in jail after the 9/11 attacks, even though they had no involvement in a terrorism plot. The current case arose when Lavoni Kidd, a former football star at the University of Idaho, was arrested and shackled at Washington’s Dulles International Airport in March 2003. He was not taken into custody because he was suspected of a crime but because he was a supposed “material witness� in another case. Federal law permits the government in special situations to hold someone as a “material witness� in a pending case. Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union accused Ashcroft of a “gross abuse� of this author-

ity. They say he misused the law to arrest innocent people, even when the government lacked the required “probable cause.� After the 9/11 attacks Ashcroft announced he would use all of his legal authority to capture terrorists. Hundreds of Muslim men were arrested and held on immigration charges. That option was not available in Kidd’s case because he is a U.S. citizen. Kidd had converted to Islam in college and changed his name to Abdullah Al-Kidd. He had cooperated with the FBI after the 9/11 attacks and answered questions about another Muslim man in Idaho who was under investigation in connection with his website. Several months had elapsed since Kidd had heard from the FBI, but when he bought a round-trip ticket to travel to Saudi Arabia, where he had a scholarship to study, the FBI moved to have him arrested. An FBI agent wrongly told a magistrate that Kidd had bought a oneway first-class ticket. The magistrate ordered Kidd arrested and held as a witness. A few days later, FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III testified in Congress and mentioned Kidd’s “arrest� as one of the bureau’s successes. Kidd was repeatedly stripsearched and shackled for more than two weeks in a high-security cell where the lights were kept on, according to his complaint. He was then released, but his passport was taken. In 2005, Kidd sued Ashcroft and other officials, contending they had violated his constitutional rights by arresting him without probable cause.

Q

Where was beer first invented? Was it really in Egypt?

A. Hieroglyphics show Pharaohs drinking the cold stuff – make

The history of beer goes back millennia to the birth of civilization.

that the warm stuff – over 5,000 years ago, a gift befitting royalty and a worthy offering to the gods. They were certainly not alone. Historians and archaeologists have found evidence of beer and beer-making around the globe including Mesopotamia, Syria, Israel, China, Greece and more. The Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, etched in stone and clay around 1792 BC, even cites rules related to brewers and the ancient taverns they ran. As Christianity expanded into Europe, the popularity of beer surged, most notably due to monks whose monasteries doubled as breweries. While ice beers, specially lined cans, and krausening came much later, beer in its basic form has been around for a very long time. Like many things, the first brews were probably happy accidents. Even before the rise of agriculture and the cultivation of barley, the principle grain associated with beer, we can imagine a curious Homo sapien drinking a groggy honey and rainwater mixture in a hollowed out tree that had fermented from wild, wind-blown yeasts. The result would have been a crude version of what we would today call mead, or honey wine. All beers are the result of fermentation, the process by which carbohydrates, usually in the form of sugars or starches, are converted into ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide gas. In most European brewing traditions, these carbohydrates are derived from malted barley, where grains are germinated in water then halted by drying them out. The Saccharomyces genus which brewing yeast belongs to are the most important and – until relatively recently – least understood aspect of the brewing process. Not until the rise of microbiology and Louis Pasteur in the 1850s were the connections between yeasts and fermentation explicitly made. Believe it or not, the concept of moderation may be almost as old as beer itself. Sophocles, the ancient Greek playwright, spoke of the idea of balancing moderate amounts of drink with a well-rounded diet. Today, many people continue to enjoy beer for the same reasons earlier cultures did, and like them, understand that despite its benefits, it’s also possible to have too much of a good thing. Reference: Arnold, John P (2005). Origin and History of Beer and Brewing

Moderate drinking is defined for men as no more than two drinks per day or one drink per day for women. (NIAAA)

Wildcats starting season with newfound confidence, quiet determination

answers, and I don’t think we have all the talent in the world,” Miller said on Friday. “I think we’ll be more talented in the future, we’ll be more experienced in the future, but if you’re asking me to compare this now to the first day of last year, we’re in a better starting point.” It’s a better starting point mentally: This time around Miller won’t need to stop drills to explain terminology. He expects this team to already know. It’s a better starting point physically: Every player spent considerable time in the weight room this summer, and guys like Jamelle Horne and Kevin Parrom look noticeably bulked up. It’s a better starting point in synergy: The bigger and stronger Wildcats contain the deepest core since Lute Olson’s last team. “I think we have 11 or 12 players who all think they’re going to play, and three of them are wrong,” Miller said at media day last Tuesday. “That’s a good thing, having that highly competitive environment and players saying, ‘I’m going to be ready to practice, because if I’m not, that’s going to hurt my opportunity to play in the game.’” Arizona’s sense of urgency can finally morph into a new direction, one where the players try

out for the coach, not the coach trying out for the players. No one, two or three pieces are bigger than the system as a whole: No need for a Jerryd Bayless to score 30 points and carry an entire team, its bench and overall ticket sales on his back. No need for a Jordan Hill’s foul trouble to worry whichever coach made substitutions. No excuses with a lineup this versatile. “It’s way better and that’s what’s going to push us over in the game where opponents are playing against two teams that could potentially start,” Horne said. “You’ve got a team that could start coming off the bench. Those are the teams that make real runs and stay competitive through the entire season. “Last year we didn’t have those guys. Maybe we did they just weren’t ready,” he added. Not that questions don’t linger around this team, but they’re the good kind of questions, the ones you spend time chatting about in line outside McKale Center on game day, like mock lineups ideas. None of which are too dire or burning. Can Horne play consistently? Has Kyryl Natyazhko improved

Injury news

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Senior forward Jamelle Horne and the rest of the Arizona men’s basketball team are taking a much calmer approach to this season after last year’s whirlwind. The new attitude and sense of comfort in the second year of the Sean Miller era is giving hope that the Wildcats will return to the NCAA Tournament.

Foles wasn’t Arizona’s only key player who went down in Pullman, Wash . Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Justin Washington appeared to have a serious knee injury against WSU, but that wasn’t the case. He has a chance to be in the lineup for Saturday’s Homecoming game. “It’s not real significant, but whether he’s ready to go on Saturday, we’ll see,” Stoops said. Wide receiver Juron Criner didn’t see action in the second half of Saturday’s game, but Stoops attributed that to the cold weather affecting Criner’s toe problem that he has been battling all year. He should be ready to go against Washington. Cornerback Trevin Wade should be back in practice all week after battling a thigh injury, and receiver/punt returner William “Bug” Wright will also be back for the matchup with Washington after missing last week’s game because of a sprained shoulder.
