Knife-wielder detained in library BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

A MAN WAS DETAINED at gunpoint in the UA’s Main Library on Wednesday after brandishing a knife at students and staff.

University of Arizona Police Department officers detained a man carrying a knife in the UA Main Library on Wednesday afternoon.

Police received calls from people at the library regarding a man carrying a knife at about 12:27 p.m., said Sgt. Juan Alvarez, UAPD’s public information officer.

Robert Mitchell, the interim associate dean of libraries, said a young man had tripped some of the fire doors located on the third floor and was “brandishing” a knife.

Mitchell also said he was told that the man made threatening gestures with

the knife toward students.

Mitchell said a couple of staff members were trying to get the man out of the library and were asking him not to hurt anybody. When Mitchell heard the commotion, he stepped out of his office, and the man approached him.

“He kept saying two things to various people,” Mitchell said. “‘You’re the smart one,’ and ‘It’s not so funny now, is it?’ I’m not a doctor, I’m not an expert, but that’s not normal human behavior.”

Adriano Fabbri, a communications junior, said the man was about 15 feet away from him, pacing back and forth with a sharp object in his hand, when a librarian approached the man and

said, “Sir, you need to stop, you need to come with me.”

The man told the librarian he was looking for someone, Fabbri added.

“Everyone was just packing up their stuff really frantically and the librarian was yelling at everyone to get off the third floor,” Fabbri said. “Some people didn’t pack up. Some people just, like, left their stuff.”

When the police arrived with their weapons drawn, Mitchell said the man dropped to his knees, threw the knife down and lay facedown on the floor. The police then handcuffed him, pulled him to his feet and sat him in a chair in the lobby.

Officers responded quickly and took the subject into custody without

any further incident, Alvarez said.

There were no injuries.

“The community recognized a potential threat, or a potential danger, they called the police and we were able to respond quickly and take control of the situation, which in this case, absolutely prevented the situation from escalating to something else,” Alvarez said.

The investigation is ongoing, and the man’s name was not released, Alvarez said, adding that it is unclear whether he was affiliated with the university.

Kyl to give records to UA library MATT BURNS

Arizona Daily Wildcat

Sen. Jon Kyl announced that he will donate his personal records from his time in office to the UA library at a press conference in the library’s special collections area on Wednesday afternoon.

Kyl has served in the House of Representatives for four terms and in the Senate for three terms. The donation includes documents, papers, records and memorabilia from his years in public service.

“There’s going to be about 400 boxes of materials that range [from] personal to his political career,” said Chrystal Carpenter, a congressional archivist at the UA library. “A lot of it will be correspondence, constituent materials, research that staff did on key issues, bills … it just runs the whole gamut of the different areas in which he was delving into.”

The UA Main Library has not yet received the documents, which Kyl said will be sent in December. The papers will be made available in two stages, the first of which will be a collection that has been available to the public before. Kyl said that he intends to then send private documents that are being made public for the first time.

“It’s my hope that it will be useful to people studying policy, studying particular issues like immigration

Master class gives students lesson with world-renowned virtuoso BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

A renowned guitarist and professor from the Royal College of Music in London listened to a variety of student guitarists perform at a master class hosted by the Tucson Guitar Society in collaboration with the UA on Wednesday night.

When the Tucson Guitar Society booked Carlos Bonell to play a concert for Thursday night, it decided to also try to host a master class that would allow students to play for Bonell and receive feedback.

“We produce between four and seven professional concerts

every year, and we always ask our performing artist if they will teach,” said Julia Pernet, chairman of the Tucson Guitar Society. “We put this on for the students and they pay a minimal fee and we pick up the rest.”

Students paid a $25 fee to participate in the class and perform in Slonaker House. Admission was free for any students who wanted to view the performances.

Forum provides dicussion on comic YARA ASKAR Arizona Daily Wildcat

Students and community members gathered at the Grand Ballroom in the Student Union Memorial Center on Wednesday night to address the Arizona Daily Wildcat’s publication of a comic strip that depicted a father threatening his child about coming out.

UA BookStores

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Pride Alliance held the discussion, inviting the campus to discuss the comic that ran on Oct. 16, what actions should be taken at the Wildcat, and who should be held accountable.

The comic that was published in Tuesday’s issue sparked a backlash from readers across the country.

The comic was first put on the Wildcat’s Facebook page, which led

to readers expressing their concern through phone calls, emails and online comments. Eventually, Mike Webb, a gender and women’s studies senior, began a petition for the resignation of Kristina Bui, the Wildcat’s editor-in-chief, the cartoonist and copy editor.

The petition currently has 8,700 signatures.

The forum began with an introduction from Jennifer Hoefle

Olson, program coordinator of LGBTQ Affairs, followed by speeches by Bui and Webb.

The forum was then opened to comments from the audience.

Much of the commentary was directed toward Webb and the Wildcat’s editorial board, and focused the UA’s commitment to promoting diversity and how the comic does not represent such

Sustainable cuisine focus of Food Day SARAH-JAYNE SIMON Arizona Daily Wildcat

Students and members of the Tucson community crowded the UA Mall to enjoy free samples, food demonstrations and live music as the UA Food Day Fair kicked off on Wednesday.

Food Day is a nationwide celebration and a movement that aims to educate people about how to eat more healthy, affordable and sustainable food.

“I’m excited for everybody to experience food in a new way and have people learn about the environment and how it affects your food choices,” said Hana Feeney, UA Food Day’s coordinator.

The event brought together people from different areas to promote the food movement, including physicians, nutritionists, farmers and chefs, as well as parents and teachers. Tucson’s Iron Chef Ryan Clark hosted a food demonstration and provided samples at the fair.

“This is a national celebration to promote healthy, sustainable, affordable and fair food here in the community,” said Michelle Mixer, human resources representative at the College of Nursing. “At UA we really want to emphasize our focus on that mission that coincides with Food Day.” The organizations represented at the event cooperated to encourage

students on campus and members of the surrounding community to eat more healthfully.

“You only get one body to live with, so you might as well take care of it and eat healthy,” journalism freshman Leah Cresswell said.

One way students can start becoming healthier is by changing their own diets, adding more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products, Feeney said. Many of these healthy eating tips were presented on the Mall on Wednesday.

“People should have found a wealth of information and new experiences,” Feeney said. “They can taste test [and] watch food demonstrations so they learn how to take home some of these directions.”

More than 25 campus and community groups gathered to host interactive exhibits under a large tent on the Mall, including Students for Sustainability. The club is currently working on projects to make the UA more sustainable.

“A lot of the sustainability is going unnoticed,” said Lauren Johnston, coordinator for Grassroots and volunteer for Students for Sustainability. “The community is making huge strides that people sometimes don’t see. An event like this widens the eyes for the community of what is accessible on campus.”

Grassroots is a student club run by two Students for Sustainability interns and created for sustainablyminded UA students.

“Food matters,” said Gale Welter, coordinator of nutrition services at Campus Health Service. “It matters what you eat and it determines a

lot of your health risks and there is a big community of people who care about the food that we eat. We are really working hard to make sure the food is healthy, sustainable and just.”

UA Student Unions grilled up grass-fed beef burgers and vegan burgers, and provided healthy

options from the Red & Blue Market, which Welter said is a new line of togo foods.

“Healthy food helps the environment while having students maintain a well-balanced diet,” veterinary sciences freshman Victoria Phee said.

CAMPUS CALENDAR Oct. 25 Professional Development Seminar — ‘Search for Internships and Jobs’ This seminar will offer information about the most effective ways to find a summer job or internship from 12:30 p.m. to 1:20 p.m. in the Student Union Memorial Center. Students will learn a variety of jobsearch methods.

Workshop: ‘Commonly Misused Words’ Attendees wil learn about words that sound alike but have different meanings. This workshop will be from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Social Sciences room 222. This workshop is part of a semester-long series of free workshops held every Thursday.

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Kristina Bui and Arizona Student Media Director Mark Woodhams answer questions regarding the controversial comic published on Oct. 16 at a forum hosted by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s Pride Alliance.

The Southwest Initiative for the Study of Middle East Conflicts, School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies, Arizona Center for Judaic Studies, Center for Middle East Studies and the School of Government and Public Policy will host a panel on Syria from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Student Union Memorial Center in the Rincon room.

diversity.

“Initially, I was frustrated and my frustration wasn’t just isolated to myself,” Webb said. “I was frustrated for people who have experienced that sort of alienation and for people still feeling alienated and that we are having a hard time escaping that and finding a sense of community.”

A common criticism of Bui regarded how she could have let something like the comic run in the paper. The cartoonist, David Parsons, was trying to illustrate that such horrible cases do exist but they shouldn’t, Bui said.

“Saying ‘This should happen’ is obviously not ever OK, but for that cartoon to say something like ‘This does happen’ wasn’t enough.

It should have said something like ‘Look at this horrible thing; it really does happen in real life but it shouldn’t.’”

Bui said she has accepted responsibility for the publication of the comic, and added that the Wildcat has changed its editorial policies regarding the comics page.

It will no longer be left until the last minute and finished in a rush, which is how the comic found its way into the paper last week, she added.

The new policy requires the approval of two other editors besides Bui, the copy chief and the design chief.

Although much of the audience thanked the editor-in-chief for taking responsibility, Dale Karas, a senior studying optical engineering and music composition, asked about the possibility of the Wildcat providing financial support or

advertising for counseling for those who have been negatively impacted by the comic.

Although some made requests for additional action or resources from the Wildcat, a number of attendees said that they accepted Bui’s apology.

“I sincerely believe that Kristina Bui is sorry,” Hoefle Olson said. “I believe in her sincerity. I feel like she handled this with a lot of integrity. I don’t think I can speak to whether this will happen again or not, and similar things have happened which makes me think this will happen again, but I hope it doesn’t.”

Bui added that moving on is the next step.

“I can’t apologize enough for what happened,” Bui said. “The best that I can do and that the Daily Wildcat can do is say sorry, and then go forward with the lesson.”

Artist’s Talk: Susan Meiselas This event is co-sponsored by the University of Arizona School of Art’s Visiting Artists, Scholars and Exhibitions Program and the Center for Creative Photography. Susan Meiselas, a published photographer, will present two seminal projects from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Center for Creative Photography Auditorium.

Sport Careers Panel and Networking Event UA Career Services is hosting a career panel open to a very large audience from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the student union’s Tucson room.

Seven professionals representing different identities of the sports industry will be on the panel. The panelists will offer career insights into the field and share information on their personal career paths.

There will be a networking session following the panel that will allow the audience to connect with the panelists directly.

reform, water policy, historical senate treaties and confirmations … and so many other things that my records might provide some piece of the puzzle that’s useful for people,” Kyl said.

Valerie Hanna, an undergraduate student studying political science, said that she is interested in the inside look that the documents will provide to students.

“It’s such a cool opportunity for students … [to see] the details and the thought process behind what our state senator did, the actions that he took, the decisions that he made,” Hanna said.

Carpenter agrees that the documents will be useful to both students and researchers. “[The senator’s] papers and his longevity in the House and the Senate, and the issues and the things that he

from page 1

worked on coming to the university will have such an impact on scholars, research and students,” she said. “I think that the longevity of the materials in here is going to be very important to researchers now and into the future.”

Kyl also said that the availability of the records will allow people a better glimpse of the inner workings of legislative positions.

“Sometimes your successes [as a public servant] are in saying ‘no’ to things that are bad ideas just as much as passing bills. There are things like that that I’ve worked on, and I’d like the public to see what was really behind all that,” he said.

Both Kyl and his wife are UA alumni, which Kyl said is the reason he chose to donate his records to the UA. “I’ve always wanted to be able to give things back to my alma mater,” he said. “My wife and I very much appreciated the education that we received here, and this is one way that we can do that.”

attending a master class, the performers should work toward improving their playing based off Bonell’s suggestions.

“After, you definitely start listening for specific things, like whatever you work on during the master class, definitely try to approach it in your practice time and make sure you fix the little things that they arranged,” said Kathy Acosta, a classical guitar performance junior.

Bonell discussed the advantages of offering advice to students who he had never met before, and commented on the high standard he saw in the performers.

“My overall advice is to keep going, because they all have such a high standard,” Bonell said. “It’s a pleasure to hear them play.”

Some of those who helped organize the event commented on the benefit of having a master class.

“Tucson is relatively a small town, so to get the best students in the world to come here to study guitar, you have to expose them to the best players,” Pernet said. “It’s an important part of having a performing arts degree to see what great performers do.”

Fla. police to testify in Martin case MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

ORLANDO, Fla. — George Zimmerman’s lawyers Wednesday notified prosecutors that their witness list now includes a who’s who of the Sanford Police Department’s chain of command at the time of Trayvon Martin’s death, including the police chief, major crimes captain, sergeant and case detectives.

It is an unusual defense strategy. Police officers typically testify for the state, explaining how they gathered the evidence that that led to charges.

In this case, it suggests that Zimmerman’s attorneys believe the testimony of Sanford officers will help — not hurt — their client.

The list has on it a dozen names, including former chief Bill Lee; Bob O’Connor, the major crimes captain who oversaw the investigation; Lt. Randy Smith, the former sergeant who supervised the detectives investigating the case; and lead investigator Chris Serino.

Zimmerman, 29, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer, shot and killed Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, Feb. 26 after Zimmerman called police, describing the teenager as suspicious.

Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after the high school junior attacked him, pinned him to the ground, beat him and tried to take away Zimmerman’s handgun.

Defense attorney Mark O’Mara on Friday said he was surprised when Sanford police Sgt. Joseph Santiago testified during a deposition last week that after more than two weeks of daily meetings at the police department at which officers agreed there was not enough evidence to charge Zimmerman, Serino signed paperwork that he turned over to Wolfinger, saying he had probable cause to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter.

Santiago is one of the 12 Sanford police officers on today’s new witness list.

Shooting spree kills three family members in L.A. MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

LOS ANGELES—Five members of a Downey family were shot — three fatally — in a bizarre shooting that started at the business they owned and ended at their home a few blocks away.

Authorities said they don’t know the motive for the attack and said they are searching for the gunman, who allegedly fled in a 2010 black Camaro stolen from one of the victims.

Witnesses described seeing family members wounded and bleeding outside both properties, including one woman who appeared to be shot in the head.

“The family was targeted for a specific reason,” Downey police Lt. Dean Milligan said. “But we don’t know what that reason was yet.”

The first sign of trouble came at 11:12 a.m. when someone called 911 about a shooting at the business, United States Fire Protection Services. When officers arrived three minutes later, they found a man and a woman dead and another

woman wounded.

At 11:17 a.m. police received a second call from the home of the business owner, about two blocks away. There, they found another dead woman and a wounded 13-year-old boy.

The boy told police he didn’t recognize the gunman, Milligan said. The suspect was described as a 30-year-old black man about 6-feet tall and 230 pounds. He was last seen in the Camaro, which had the license plate 6LEA010.

Grace Mendez said she saw the teenager near the business as she drove down the street.

“He was screaming, ‘Oh my God, oh my God!” Mendez, 33, said. “And then I saw that he was shot in the shoulder blade and stomach.”

As news of the shooting spread, worried family members hurried to the business, desperate for answers.

“My wife works in there!” yelled a man in a white T-shirt who approached the police tape around 1 p.m. “I need to know if she’s OK!”

Man investigated for ‘Kill Obama’ sign MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

Colorado resident Lee Mulcahy discovered that there are limits to the discussion when it comes to political signage outside your home in this presidential election year.

The phrase “Fire Obama” is permissible and such placards adorn some yards. But “Kill Obama” is not, and Mulcahy, of Aspen, received a visit the other day from both local police and the U.S. Secret Service.

“We felt this was pretty serious — anything that has to do with the president of the United States is serious, so we immediately contacted the Secret Service,” Blair Dweyer, a community relations specialist for Aspen police, told the Los Angeles

Times.

Authorities say that several neighbors in the Rocky Mountain resort community’s Burlington Ranch area called to report the message painted in red — not on a sign — but on the front of a home under construction.

The Aspen Times reported that Mulcahy, a local artist who the newspaper described as “wellknown in local circles for his written, verbal and artistic attacks on government and big business,” contacted police insisting he was not the culprit.

Mulcahy, a self-described tea party member who has offered his support for vice presidential candidate Paul D. Ryan on his Facebook page, later

painted over the message, police said.

But the artist still got a visit from concerned officials. Police Officer Terry Leitch told the Aspen paper that the Secret Service agent “kind of stressed the point how people’s perceptions of that (the anti-Obama message) would be.”

Mulcahy did not return phone calls seeking comment.

But a lawyer who serves as counsel for the Colorado Press Association told Aspen reporters that the antiObama message, no matter how blatant, is protected under free speech.

“It is a federal offense (a felony) to make a ‘true threat’ against the president of the United States,”

he wrote in an email to reporters.

“However, the Supreme Court has held that statements of political protest, that are not intended to (or are not reasonably understood as) conveying a serious threat — one that would cause reasonable apprehension in the target of the threat — are not subject to criminal punishment.”

Still, the Aspen police switchboard lighted up with complaints about the sign, which many people said could be seen from a local bus stop for schoolchildren. Even the head of the local housing authority made a personal call to the Secret Service.

“This is a small town,” Dweyer told the Times. “When things like this happen, people take interest.”

V-card study can’t dictate your future happiness Dan Desrochers

Arizona Daily Wildcat

B

e it at a frat party or a house party, in a dorm room or anywhere else on campus, a lot of people out there intend to get freaky.

But a study conducted by the University of Texas at Austin suggests people who lose their virginity later in life tend to be better off in the long run.

The survey looked at 1,659 same-sex sibling pairs from around age 16 to around age 29, and divided the respondents into three categories based on when they lost their virginity: early (younger than 15), on time (ages 15 to 19) and late (19 and up).

People who lost their virginity later tended to have more fulfilling relationships, a better education and higher earnings, according to the survey’s results. There was little difference between people who lost their virginity “early” and people who lost it “on time.”

But for those of you who kissed your V-card bye-bye long ago, fear not, the study also showed that those who lost their virginity late were less likely to be in a relationship, perhaps because they’re likelier to be pickier in ultimately choosing romantic partners.

Still, the study’s author, Paige Harden, acknowledged in a press release that “teenagers’ sexual experiences are complicated.”

An earlier University of Texas at Austin study in 2011 found that teenagers in committed relationships were less likely to be delinquents than teens who had casual sex or no sex.

“

A study can’t dictate whether or not you will be happy in a future relationship.

“

It’s hard to dispute science, and you can acknowledge that it makes sense for there to be a hookup — ah, a relationship — between the age you lose your virginity and your overall well-being. But the survey fails to take a major component of individual happiness into account: Everyone is different.

The survey’s categories present the biggest issue: How does anyone classify what is “early,” “on time” or “late” in life for people to do something like have sex for the first time?

When I was 16 I was far more concerned with my chess team and the Red Sox than getting … well. Looking back on that, I may have been an anomaly.

While the age ranges may have been based on the time the average American loses their virginity, a more valuable conclusion could be drawn from whether or not someone lost their virginity before they felt ready, because that could have a lot more impact on their future happiness.

It isn’t the Middle Ages anymore. Older men are no longer sniffing around preteen girls, waiting for them to become fertile.

While the age of 15 would be ancient by the standards of those times, in America it feels so, well, young.

Perhaps you were like rap mogul T.I., who reportedly lost his virginity at age 11.

But seriously think about what you were doing when you were 15. Most of us were pretty damn excited just to make out with someone.

Maybe the majority of Americans feel ready between the ages of 15 and 19, but that’s an overgeneralization. Some people don’t feel ready until they are married.

Some don’t feel ready until they have a serious partner. And some feel ready every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and occasionally Wednesday night.

A study can’t dictate whether or not you will be happy in a future relationship.

Whether you were ready or not that first time, let your future relationships dictate how happy you are instead.

Your views Letters

In response to “To put out smoking on campus, bans must address causes of smoking” (by Nyles Kendall, Oct. 24): I could not disagree with you more on your opinion on smoking in today’s paper. I would love for the UA to implement a tobacco free policy like Arizona State University and I do think it will work.

In your section you mention that you avoid eye contact with those who, “scornfully glare at me” and you know that if a ban was implemented that those same people would speak up and say something to you about putting your cigarette out.

With enough media and education, students and the rest of the UA community would understand that smoking is just not allowed on campus. My office is located by a designated smoking section and to get to the ladies room I have to walk past a group of smokers on a daily basis and I am sick and tired of it. It really stinks.

There are more nonsmokers than there are smokers, so yes a tobacco free policy would be great!

Just in for Parents Weekend and I had an unfortunate experience on Fourth Avenue after the game on Saturday. Sad to say this is not the first time. Maybe more of the funds received by U of A should go towards increasing security in and around the campus. Stay safe.

— Concerned Mom I did have something stolen from my car during Family Weekend, but was far north of the campus. Concerned mom, can you share anything about the experience that might help keep our kids safe? I know my new student was very aware of the surroundings. The kids I met seemed smart enough to walk home from the game in groups, avoiding 6th street, and all check in with each other on their cellphones.

Tucson did feel a little more urban that other cities its size.

We were solicited by pan handlers a couple of times. I think the last time I was solicited by panhandlers was off the harbor in Baltimore. I have traveled all over the world and I did not think Tucson bad by comparison. I know of two people that have been murdered, and they were both in small towns.

Don’t get your hopes up, AZ unlikely to break new ground Jason Krell Arizona Daily Wildcat

I

t’s hard living in a state where the vote is so staunchly one-sided that it often feels like your voice isn’t being heard at all.

That’s what Arizona is like for people who support President Barack Obama – and no, I don’t mean just Democrats. I mean anyone who does.

Arizona has a long history of giving its electoral votes to the Republican candidate, so voting for Obama in this election almost feels pointless.

But according to an article in The New York Times, Arizona might not be decided for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney just yet.

The article cites the state’s large Latino population, a group of people who have historically strongly supported Obama and lean in his way in polls.

Additionally, Arizona Sen. John McCain isn’t running in the race this time, so Arizona isn’t as likely to automatically vote right.

Obama also holds sway in the states surrounding Arizona, such as California, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada.

However, The New York Times does point out that although the Latino community represents 30 percent of Arizona’s population, it is also one of the largest non-voting groups in the state.

There are about half a dozen more factors to consider, but the fact is, while it’s nice to think about Obama supporters in Arizona actually being able to hold some sway in the 2012 election, don’t get your hopes up.

Outside of Tucson, Republicans dominate the political scene, and they’re not giving up that position any time soon.

There is a large Latino and immigrant population here, but there are also a lot of people pushing for stricter immigration laws, and they won’t vote for a president they perceive to be lax when it comes to immigration.

Now, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go out and vote in Arizona if you support Obama, but know that his garnering the popular vote in Arizona is an uphill battle – one that he’s unlikely to win.

Waaay too many bikes

University of Arizona Police Department officers stopped a suspicious man at the corner of Drachman Street and Ring Road when they spotted him walking with a shopping cart and three bikes at 4:20 a.m. on Oct. 20th.

The man said he’d been in an argument with his girlfriend three hours earlier, and went to the UA Main Library to retrieve her bike, an orange beach cruiser, which she’d left there. The man said that to get there, he had loaded the beach cruiser and another bike into his shopping cart and pulled them while riding his motorized bike, adding that he had to bring all the bikes because he was unable to lock them up where he lived.

A background check on the suspect determined that he had a misdemeanor warrant through Tucson Police Department. He was placed under arrest, and officers asked him for permission to examine a black bag he was carrying.

Upon inspection, the bag held a grinder-cutting tool, miscellaneous jewelry, several keys and a small black pouch.

The pouch contained two prescription medication containers, one with several pills and the other with coins and a crumpled piece of tinfoil. The man said the pills were for a bone disease.

Inside the foil, officers discovered a bag of small white crystals, a glass vial with a dark liquid and what appeared to be cotton.

The officer field-tested the crystals, which came back positive for amphetamines.

UAPD confiscated the pills, and felony charges are pending as the police await further test results from the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

BECAUSE IT’S FOOTBALL SEASON AND...

Thief hits hard

A UAPD officer responded to a vandalism complaint at 10:14 p.m. on Oct. 20, during the UA football game.

When UAPD arrived, the man who had called showed the officer that two windows in his silver 2010 Toyota Sequoia had been broken, and said that a Chanel purse and Canon camera were also stolen from the car. The man had attended the football game and saw the damage when he retured to his car.

The man valued the purse at $400, the camera at $450 and the damage to his vehicle at $500.

The officer took photos of the windows and damage to the car. The man said he wanted to take part in any further criminal proceedings.

There are currently no suspects or witnesses.

Hell hath no fury

A UAPD officer responded to a report of threats at 4:22 p.m. on Oct. 19.

When the officer arrived, a woman said that a male coworker had been receiving death threats from a former lover.

The woman told the officer that her co-worker is working abroad at the UA until November. His former mistress lives in California and has sent the man harassing emails threatening to get a gun and kill him.

Her other emails have attempted to extort money and told the co-worker’s wife, who is living in their home country, of his affairs and exploits while away. Additionally, the mistress sent an email to all of the man’s co-workers saying he “sleeps around and has an STD,” and “to use with caution.”

The woman said that there have been no further emails, and the male co-worker has unplugged phones in the lab to avoid harassment.

The man had said he’d report the situation earlier but “chickened out,” so the woman felt her action was necessary. The officer told the woman that a supervisor should deal with the unplugging of the phones, and that if the mistress calls again, whoever answers the phone should hang up or tell her to stop.

The officer told the woman that if any further threats occur, law enforcement can take action. The officer did not speak with the man or his former mistress, but did provide the woman with a source to contact regarding any further developments.

THE ARIZONA 1987-88 men’s basketball team, which was reunited at Sunday’s Red-Blue game, believes the reason it was so successful was each player’s willingness to sacrifice for the greater good of the team.

1987-88 Arizona men’s Final Four team believes camaraderie was formula for success KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona’s 1988 Final Four team had a lot going for it — an All-American in Sean Elliott, an elite deep threat and leader in Steve Kerr and depth throughout the roster. But what truly made the team special, and what its members point back to now, 25 years later, was its chemistry.

“Everybody liked each other and you can’t explain it,” said Tom Tolbert, who was a senior center during the Final Four season and went on to play with the Golden State Warriors’ “Run-

T.M.C.” teams in the early 1990s. “It’s just a dynamic and you kind of feel it.

“Certainly winning helps, but we loved each other. We had so much fun at practice every day.”

Tolbert said he believes great talent can sometimes overcome poor relationships on the court, but having a special bond between teammates is the key to staying consistently dominant throughout a long and trying season.

“Chemistry keeps things together when things are going poorly,” Tolbert said. “It’s real easy when you’re winning to feel good going to the

locker room, be best buddies with your teammates. But when things start going poorly, and you’re maybe not playing as well, and the media’s on you and Coach is on you — it’s easy to see these little fissures in the team and guys pointing fingers.

“Chemistry to me allows things to be kept together and everyone stays together, and everyone realizes what the common goal is.”

At Sunday’s Red-Blue scrimmage, players from the 1988 team brought up how close they were, and still are 25 years later. Family obligations and distance might have gotten in the

way at times, but the players said that when they see each other, they’re as close as ever.

“We’ve all talked about the great chemistry [with the 1988 team],” Kerr said to the crowd in McKale Center during halftime of the Red-Blue game.

“It meant winning games, it meant all the excitement at McKale, but what it meant more than anything was that we were best friends, even to this day.”

Current head coach Sean Miller said that players’ ability to handle their roles is crucial to the team’s success.

Wildcats softball team falls to NFPS All-Stars in blowout JAMES KELLEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

In its second to last fall season event, the Arizona softball team was blown out 23-1 by the National Pro Fastpitch AllStars on Wednesday night at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Arizona closes out the fall season with the alumni game on Nov. 9.

After staying even for the first two innings, the NPF All-Stars exploded for nine in the top of the third to start the rout.

NPF scored 23 runs on 21 hits to beat the Wildcats 23-1 Wednesday night.

“I knew we were going to be overmatched a little, but obviously I wanted to play a good game,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “We had some opportunities, but yeah, they’re pretty powerful. They’re a very good team.”

Junior pitcher Shelby Babcock pitched a near-perfect first two innings, only giving up a walk in the second.

“It was good, real good, but it got a little out of hand there with keeping the ball in the ballpark,” Candrea said.

In the top of the third, NPF scored nine runs to open the inning. Former UA star and current softball director of operations Caitlin Lowe drove in the first run on an error by senior third baseman Brigette Del Ponte.

Lowe went 2-6 with an RBI and two runs.

After giving up seven runs and five hits and loading the bases without recording an out, Babcock was chased from the game in the third and relieved by freshman Nancy Bowling.

Arizona responded in the bottom of the third when junior utility Alex Lavine scored a run on an NPF error.

“We have a lot that we need to work on and it’s just about making adjustments,” Lavine said. “They’re a really good team.”

In the top of the fourth, NPF led off with a home run that soared to nearly the top of the bleachers. Designated hitter Charlotte Morgan then hit a two-run home run that just cleared the wall in right.

Outfielder Nikia Williams hit a solo home run in the fifth, her second round tripper of the night.

had the opportunity to meet with the 1988 team, Miller said they took a big lesson away from the role of forward Jud Buechler.

After graduating from Arizona, Beuchler played 17 seasons in the NBA and won three titles with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. He was named a member of the 1990 AllPac 10 First Team his senior year and averaged 14.9 points per game and 8.3 rebounds that year.

But during the 1987-1988 season, the sophomore Buechler played just

Briana Sanchez/arizona Daily Wildcat

ARIZONA SOFTBALL faced off with the National Pro Fastpitch All-Stars on Wednesday night at Hillenbrand Stadium. The Wildcats were blown out by a score of 23-1.

In the bottom of the fifth, Arizona stranded Lavine and Pendley at third and second. Lavine, who switched from right handed to lefty slapper in the offseason, also scored Arizona’s run and went 1-1 with a walk.

“It was OK, but I’d rather the team do well than just me,” Lavine said.

The only Wildcats to get hits off the AllStars’ pitching staff were junior designated hitter Kelsey Rodriguez, sophomore infielder Chelsea Suitos, Lavine and Del Ponte. All were singles.

“We’ll learn from it and I think that’s what you need to do,” Candrea said.

In the Arizona volleyball team’s second showdown of the season with No. 2 Stanford, the Wildcats (12-10, 4-7 Pac-12) fell short again, losing 3-0 in Palo Alto, Calif.

Head coach Dave Rubio still believes that there were a few positives to take away from Wednesday’s match.

“I think we played better and harder,” Rubio said. “We’re just not at that level yet. Stanford is a top caliber team.”

Freshman hitter Halli Amaro had a solid performance with 10 kills on the night, while starting Arizona outside hitters Madi Kingdon and Taylor Arizobal struggled from the left side, with Kingdon swinging at a .075 hitting percentage. Rubio feels Amaro’s success was a result of freshman setter Lauren Fuller’s performance. The pair are connecting well on the net.

“The issues for us were serving, and we did not pass well at all,” Rubio said. “The kill percentage was low so we couldn’t score.”

However, Rubio said the defense performed well and that the team as a whole played hard.

Stanford currently sits at the top of the conference and Rubio said playing such an experienced team is always an uphill battle.

“We had a really good practice on Monday,” Rubio said. “The intensity was good and it was one of the first times this year where everyone felt really good about what happened in the gym. But Stanford had all the pieces and we’re not quite there yet.”

Even though the Wildcats lost, they were able to keep up with the Cardinal, tying the game in sets one and two and taking an early lead in the third set.

“Their middles were a big offensive part of the team,” Rubio said. “They beat us in serving and passing where we couldn’t score, and you’re not going to beat a team of this caliber if you don’t score.”

Of the top seven ranked teams in the country, five are Pac-12 teams.

“Technique and strategy and skill — all those things are great when the playing field is level,” Rubio said. “But it’s unfair to think that that’s the case.”

Morrison working to overcome struggles CAMERON MOON Arizona Daily Wildcat

After practice ends, Arizona receiver Richard Morrison can still be seen running routes, trying to get better.

The one-time starter in the slot for the Wildcats has seen a decline in playing time on offense, in part because Morrison has dropped at least two sure touchdowns near the end zone and muffed one punt this season.

“He’s been having a rough couple weeks,” sophomore receiver Austin Hill said.

“Mentally, I think he’s fine. I have confidence in him.”

Morrison is working to make sure his confidence doesn’t dip in case he gets a big break, like he did against Washington on Saturday in returning a punt 63 yards for the Wildcats’ first punt return touchdown since the 2009 season.

“I wouldn’t say it’s affecting my confidence, but … I don’t like to fail,” Morrison said. “I’m determined to stay out on this field and get better.”

Because of injuries and inconsistencies among Morrison and the slot receiver group, Arizona coaches have split time

between Morrison, sophomore Garic Wharton and walk-on Johnny Jackson, who missed the game against the Huskies due to an injury. “[The position battle] is fun,” Hill said. “It keeps things interesting. You never know who’s going to start. With these coaches, if somebody has a good week, they may start over someone who had an average week.”

Wharton posted career highs in receptions and receiving yards against Washington, catching three passes for 59 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown reception.

Jackson was the star against Stanford, catching 10 passes for 75 yards before going down with an injury.

“I think all of our guys understand that we have open competition for every position, every day, and not just on game day,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “The guys like the fact that they have to perform and compete every day. It gives us great depth.”

Morrison has not started since the Sept. 1 Toledo game, but he is still third on the team with 23 receptions for 171 yards and two

MORRISON, 10

TYLER BESH/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

RECEIVER RICHARD MORRISON was demoted as a reciever, but his play on punt returns has given him the chance for more playing time.

Against Washington on Saturday, Morrison returned a punt 63 yards for the UA’s first punt return touchdown since 2009.

NOW ACCEPTED! DEPOSIT FUNDS AT CATCASH.ARIZONA.EDU

In the last few years, the Arizona soccer team has been through its share of struggles, including a 1-16-2 record in 2011, and the Wildcat seniors have seen it all.

Seniors Alex Smith, Ariel Boulicault, Susana Melendez, Jessica Culver, Kirstyn Magyar and Kristin Strother will be playing in the final home game of their careers at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium on Oct. 28 against Utah at 11 a.m.

“This group is very diverse in that they come from all over: Missouri, California, Canada, Arizona,” head coach Lisa Oyen said. “All of their personalities are very different as is their playing style, but they complement each other very well and together are a very talented group of players and people.”

Melendez and Culver redshirted their freshman years and have the most seniority on the team with five years under their belts.

“All the older girls are hard workers,” Melendez said.

“We love the game and just want to go out and play every day and it brings up the level of play for the rest of the team.”

In four years (five for redshirts Melendez and Culver), the seniors have been through three coaching changes, the loss and gain of teammates and the worst season in the program’s history, last season, which resulted in only one win.

“We have been through everything that has happened in this program,” Smith said. “The fact that we stuck through it all and persevered showed that we were a class that was very resilient.”

“There are many things that we will miss about our seniors,” Oyen said.

Oyen credits the seniors as being “very good players who understand their roles very well,” and added that they are “great leaders on and off the field,” which the team will miss.

In her closing remarks, Oyen said, “They have set a very good standard and example for our upcoming

FOOTBALL NOTES

Rainey snares starting corner job KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

larry hogan/arizona Daily Wildcat

CORNER Derrick Rainey had his first career start against Washington, and will likely be splitting time with the previous starter, Shaq Richardson, going forward.

Basketball from page 6

11 minutes a game, four fewer than in his freshman campaign, and averaged just 4.7 points a game.

“During that year, a Final Four year, a player who played in the NBA for more than a decade averaged [four] points,” Miller said. “On this year’s team, if we’re going to reach the pinnacle and reach our goals and be the best we can be — a much better team than a year ago — we certainly are going to have sacrifice.

“When it doesn’t work out as an individual, it’s important they handle it well … This isn’t the place to pout.”

This year’s Wildcats have the ability, and aspirations, to reach the same level as coach Lute Olson’s first-ever Final Four team, assuming the deep roster can fall into place and fulfill its spot.

“Part of being a great team, you got to check your ego at the door and play your role,” Elliott said. “And if they do that, they could very well be back here [in McKale Center] 25 years from now.”

classes to learn from.”

The seniors also had messages for their teammates: “Thank you for all the memories and experiences and being great teammates on the field and amazing friends off the field,” said Smith.

“I enjoyed my time playing here and good luck in future seasons; also thank you to my family and the fans for support over the years,” said Boulicault.

“I’m going to miss everyone so much because they mean the world to me and they really made into the person I am today,” said Melendez.

As players run from the huddle to the locker room after practice, cornerback Derrick Rainey stays back.

Rainey is often the last player to head to the locker room as he works to perfect his craft. His hard work and dedication paid off last weekend when Rainey had his first career start against Washington.

“I just like to make sure I put in a lot of work,” Rainey said. “My hard work pays off. So if I can put it in on the field, it’ll most definitely show in practice, and then when it shows in practice, it’ll show in the game.”

It’s not that Rainey hasn’t seen playing time this year, but when he has, it’s mostly been in nickel packages. Through the first six games the junior sat behind starters Jonathan McKnight and Shaquille Richardson on the depth chart, but Rainey got a bump up last weekend and started over Richardson. The two corners shared playing time equally, but finally getting to start meant a lot for Rainey.

“It felt great,” Rainey said. “I’ve been waiting for that for a long time and I just made sure when I went in there I gave it 100 percent and went hard.

“I feel like I did good, I could do a lot better, there’s always room for improvement … this week, that’s where it comes in.”

Head coach Rich Rodriguez said he thought Rainey played solidly in his first career start. As a whole, the defense had its best performance against a Pac-12 opponent all season, keeping the Huskies at bay with just 17 points, including a second half shutout.

“He’s coming along,” cornerbacks coach David Lockwood said. “Again, it’s an open door policy deal and [we] gave him a shot and he responded pretty well. I’ll be anxious to see how he does this week. [USC has] two talented guys.

“He’s learning and most importantly he’s getting more confident in himself.”

Rainey had five total tackles against Washington, tying him for second on the team. On the season Rainey has 18 total tackles and a forced fumble.

Carey honored twice

Sophomore Ka’Deem Carey exploded against Washington on Saturday, racking up a careerhigh 172 rushing yards and a score in Arizona’s 52-17 victory.

The big game earned the Wildcats’ star running back

regional and national recognition on Wednesday. Carey was added to the Maxwell Award watch list for college football’s most outstanding player and was also named the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas Pac-12 Player of the Week.

“Ka’Deem will make you tackle him,” Rodriguez said. “He’s got incredible balance, incredible balance. I’ve had a couple that were close to this, but Ka’Deem on a consistent basis has continued to show that and it’s a lot of fun to coach him.”

Carey has 842 rushing yards this season, placing him 16th in the nation, and his 12 total touchdowns are second in the Pac-12.

The Washington game wasn’t perfect, as Carey lost his first fumble of the season on the opening play from scrimmage in the third quarter.

The Huskies recovered the ball, only to turn it back over the next play, but that didn’t matter to Carey, who was visibly upset on the sideline.

“You should have seen him after he dropped that ball,” Rodriguez said. “His mouth was all bloodied and he got hit pretty good and all that. And he came up to me, and there was a look in his eyes like, ‘Coach, I won’t fumble again.’”

‘Panda’ leads Giants to dominant World Series win against Tigers MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

SAN FRANCISCO — They call him the Panda.

But Pablo Sandoval is a vicious beast with a bat in his hands, as the Tigers and Justin Verlander discovered Wednesday night in Game 1 of the World Series.

Sandoval became only the fourth player to hit three homers in one World Series game as the red-hot Giants sent an October chill through the American League champions with an 8-3 victory at AT&T Park.

And he lost his bat in the process — to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

“I used that bat all postseason,” he said. “I don’t have too many superstitions with the bat. It’s not the bat, it’s you.”

And he and his bats have a thing against Verlander, against whom he tripled in the All-Star Game.

“He’s one of the best pitchers in the big leagues,” Sandoval said.

“You want to face the best.”

But on Wednesday, Verlander was second best to Sandoval and Giants’ starter Barry Zito, who allowed only one run before leaving after 52/3 innings.

“I just didn’t execute,” Verlander said. “It was a battle from the get-go.”

He was done in on Sandoval’s first-inning solo homer and his third-inning, two-run homer

to left field. Sandoval added a third homer against reliever Al Alburquerque and a bullet single against Jose Valverde.

And he created instant Pandamonium for the crowd of 42,955 — many of them wearing Pandastyle hats — as he joined Babe Ruth (twice), Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols as the only players with three homers in a World Series game.

Even more amazing?

Sandoval hit only 12 homers in the regular season but already has six in 13 postseason games.

His exploits upstaged Zito, the surprise Game 1 starter who wasn’t even on the Giants’ World Series roster in 2010.

“Coming out in a game like that, you expect a 10-0, 2-0 game if you’re going to win,” Zito said.

“To go up early like that and get momentum, that’s big.”

Zito baffled the Tigers, who hadn’t played in six days, with a blend of off-speed pitches and his patented curveball. The onetime Cy Young winner with the A’s had fallen on hard times the last few years but was at his best again Wednesday as he was in the must-win Game 5 of the NLCS. “There’s a lot of baseball left, but there’s no question it’s good not to be behind right now,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “This was a great game for us. It’s a great way to start but that’s what it is, a start.”

scores. His punt return numbers are almost as good, with 11 returns for 126 yards and the 63-yard score against the Huskies.

Although he has lost some time in the slot, Morrison still sees the logjam at his position as an open competition.

“I look at it as, we’re all competing, and we’re all like brothers,” Morrison said. “So

once one brother goes down, another has to step up and not take his spot, but do what he can in that position for the offense.

“I don’t look at it like he took my spot or I took his, I look at it like we’re all sharing and we’re all competing and we all play the same position.”

Morrison’s post-practice individual workouts have not gone unnoticed by his teammates and position coaches.

“He just has to do the little things to get back on the field, and he’s slowly improving

every single week,” Hill said.

Although Morrison has lost time in the rotation, the emergence of Wharton, Jackson and David Richards signifies that the receivers may be the only group on the team that is not razor-thin in terms of depth.

The Wildcats have been ravaged by injuries, most notably to senior Terrence Miller and Jackson, but the fact that there hasn’t been much drop-off speaks to how much unearthed talent the Wildcats had a season ago and in the spring, when Morrison

was also listed as a backup quarterback. “[The depth] helps us because of how fast the tempo of our offense is,” Morrison said.

“We have all types of receivers. You just have to come out here to practice and compete with everybody. You just don’t know [who’s going to start].”
