Students choose from an array of graduation items including caps, gowns, tassels and T-shirts at the GradFest table in the UofA Bookstore on Tuesday.

GradFest offers a one-stop shop for graduating students to get their caps, gowns, diploma frames and all others things commencement, by setting up tables in the back of the UofA Bookstore for a three-day stint. This semester, GradFest extends its second day an extra two hours to give nonconventional and night students time to access the GradFest sales and also moves the event inside, according to a UofA Bookstore representative. “I think GradFest is kind of an anticipated event,” said Kurtis Durfey, with UofA Bookstore’s marketing and creative design. “It’s coming to get their cap, their gown.” Representatives from Jostens, a graduation product company, and a portrait photographer offering free sessions and a free thumbnail are at the event.

World Cup octopus dies

Sea creature famous for soccer match predictions MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE OBERHAUSEN, Germany — Paul, the German octopus who found fame during this year ’s soccer World Cup by predicting eight correct successive match winners, has died, his spokesman at the Sea Life Oberhausen visitor attraction in Germany said yesterday. Spain, in particular, hailed Paul as a national treasure after the mollusk twice picked the Spaniards as winners, first against Germany then over the Dutch in the final. The octopus died in his pool in the night between Monday and Tuesday. The aquarium said there are no suspicious circumstances concerning the death — although no one was expecting it. “We all grew very fond of him and we will grievously miss him,” said Sea Life chief executive Stefan Porwoll. Paul, nearly 3 years old at the time of his death, was actually born in Britain — although this was of no help to the hapless English side during the soccer tournament. Scotland and Wales did not even qualify. Aquarium staff employed Paul as an oracle by

GPSC wants to break up — with undergraduates and bundled fees. The Graduate and Professional Student Council voted at Wednesday’s meeting to fight what they consider unfair fees. Their principal focus is to fight fee increases that were proposed last year. “Last year they said they would implement half the increases and next year take them to the full extent,” said Mabel Crescioni, GPSC representative for the College of Public Health . “Our first focus should make sure that doesn’t happen.” GPSC President Emily Connally emphasized Crescioni’s second point, to fight the structure of fees by unbundling them. “We need to rectify those

At least 113 dead in Indonesian tsunami MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE JAKARTA, Indonesia — At least 113 people were killed after a tsunami triggered by a powerful earthquake slammed into villages on Indonesia’s Mentawai islands, officials and aid workers said Tuesday. The Disaster Management Agency in West Sumatra province said 10 villages on the island chain were swept away by waves as high as three meters caused by Monday’s 7.2-magnitude quake. Mujiarto, head of the Health Ministry’s Crisis Centre, said the latest information from Mentawai showed “113 people were dead and at least 150 others were missing.” But the Indonesian Red Cross put the number of missing at 502. It said in a state-

problems last year with bundling fees,” Connally said. The council agreed that graduate students are grouped together with undergraduates . “The most frightening statement I’ve ever heard was said by the provost last week who said ‘because the undergraduates wanted it,’ and I think that’s something we need to fix,” said Bryan Helm, GPSC representative for the College of Science . “We’re very different and they aren’t taking that into consideration when they are making these changes at the university level. They lump us with them at their convenience … we need to stomp our foot and demand to be treated different.” Connally also brought up breaking from the Arizona Students’ Association.

ment that 2,000 families were displaced and nine boats were unaccounted for. The National Disaster Management Agency said most of the deaths occurred in Pagai Utara and Pagai Selatan districts. Authorities had lifted a tsunami warning one hour after the quake and initially said there were no reports of casualties or damage. “The information came late because communication was difficult,” said West Sumatra disaster management chief source: MCT Harmensyah, who like many Indonesians uses only one name.

UA Tricks members Logan Rouse, a pre-business sophomore, and Tomotaroh Granzier, an undeclared freshman, perform backflip flashkicks in front of the Arizona State Museum on Tuesday. The UA club specializes in Parkour (free-form acrobatics), free-running and martial arts.

Australian man holds world record for belly button lint collection An Australian man has turned for what most of us is hygiene, into a world record. Graham Barker holds the Guinness World Record for his ‘belly button fluff’ collection after saving 22.1 grams of lint every day for 26 years, Metro.co.uk reported. The 45-year-old ‘harvests’ the lint as part of his nightly routine, and has now filled more than three jars of the material. Barker, who told the paper he is “not obsessive,” collected

his first piece of fluff during a backpacking trip in 1984. Barker told the paper that the amount of fluff he collects each day depends on what clothes he has been wearing, noting that thermal underwear is the most ‘productive’. The lint never goes moldy and does not smell, and lint from even 20 years ago is ‘indistinguishable’ from the new stuff, he says. Barker sold three of his large jars to a museum for an

undisclosed amount and is nearly done filling the fourth. Barker told the paper that most people are fascinated by his collection, but disagree. “A few, usually women, recoil in mock horror, thinking that lint from a navel is really gross,” he told the paper. The librarian vows to continue amassing the lint until he is no longer capable, and is even considering stuffing a cushion with his collection. — Fox News

ASUA changes codes for easier elections for candidacy, which top 500 for ASUA president; implementing the cleanup crew after polling closes and before the results show; allowing multiple names on campaign materials and the formation of teams; adding Referendum regulations; and revising the candidate write-in process. ASUA plans to fund financial aid workshop fliers, totaling $85.47, which Sen. Mary Myles has been working toward with the help of financial aid director John Nametz. Two of the six requests for the consent board were stricken. Camp Wildcatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request was stricken from the agenda to allow the club time to submit a new request at a later date. The request from the Stocks and Securities Investments Club was stricken so the club could submit a slightly altered request to include more items that the board could fund as opposed to only funding them for precedence items.

ASUAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election plans gain steam as changes to the elections code are slated to make running for office easier and more accessible for students. At last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Emily Fritze noted the Graduate and Professional Student Council as well as Faculty Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to combine elections into one week. In a previous interview with the Daily Wildcat, ASUA Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti noted his emphasis on the period of intent, where prospective students looking to run for an elected position in ASUA can get interested without officially applying. Along with this period of intent, several other revisions must be approved by the senate, as per 1-5.02 of the 2010 ASUA Elections Code. Those include deleting the candidate deposit; lowering the amount of signatures required

The Mentawai chain consists of 70 islands and islets with a population of about 68,000 people, 150 kilometres off the western coast of Sumatra. Experts have for the past two years warned that a massive undersea earthquake was likely to occur in the future beneath the Mentawais and could trigger a deadly tsunami similar to the one that devastated Indian Ocean nations in December 2004.

Questions and Answers On Academic Advising

Sponsored by the Advising Resource Cener

Q: Dear Advisor: When I look at the schedule of classes, some courses say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;TBAâ&#x20AC;? instead of indicating the days and times they meet? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up with that? - Annoyed with Acronyms A: Dear Annoyed: The acronym, â&#x20AC;&#x153;TBAâ&#x20AC;? stands for â&#x20AC;&#x153;To Be Announcedâ&#x20AC;?. It is very important, however, for students to understand that when they see â&#x20AC;&#x153;TBAâ&#x20AC;? on their schedule, they should not wait to hear from an instructor about class details. More than likely, there will be no announcements from the instructor. UAccess uses the â&#x20AC;&#x153;TBAâ&#x20AC;? designation to indicate that a class does not have traditional meeting times. For example, all classes that are fully on-line (web delivered) use the TBA designation because, in fact, there are no in-person class meetings. The course is on-line and students must log on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; usually to the D2L (Desire to Learn) course management system. To make sure that a class is on-line, click on the section number, page down and look at â&#x20AC;&#x153;instruction mode.â&#x20AC;? Q: Dear Advisor: I thought it might be interesting to take a Psychology class even though Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m majoring in something else. When I tried to register for a class, there was a note saying that I am not eligible to register for that class. What should I do? - Still Searching A: Dear Still Searching: There are a couple of different reasons for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;not eligible to register for this courseâ&#x20AC;? note to appear when you try to enroll in a course. One reason you will see the â&#x20AC;&#x153;not eligibleâ&#x20AC;? note is if the course is restricted to majors or minors in that department. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to take a psychology course if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a psychology major because available seats are reserved for those students. If you want to take a course that is restricted during the Fall and Spring semesters, see if it is available for enrollment during the Summer when courses usually do not have restrictions about majors and minors. Another reason is particularly relevant for math, some science, second language, and freshmen composition courses. You will see the â&#x20AC;&#x153;not eligibleâ&#x20AC;? note if you either have not taken the appropriate placement test or you do not have a high enough score to be eligible for that class.

2010 Midterm

Election Guide

Whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, Green or Tea partier, or even completely apolitical, there’s no denying that the Nov. 2 midterm elections are important. The UA, the state of Arizona and the whole United States are in the direst financial straits we’ve seen in decades. Education, health care, civil rights and immigration are all major issues this year, and the people who take office after Nov. 2 will shape policies on every one of those issues. The Arizona Daily Wildcat has put together its 2010 midterm election endorsements while keeping in mind the issues most important to the UA community. Endorsements are based on candidates’ platforms and, if applicable, records in office, with special attention paid to their history with and plans for higher education. The Daily Wildcat hopes to provide a helpful voting guide for UA students, faculty and staff. Endorsements were determined and written by members of the Daily Wildcat opinions board, including Heather Price-Wright, Colin Darland and Steven Kwan.

The Candidates

Secretary • Governor • of State F Bennett the right choice for today’s Arizona

The secretary of state race is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise toxic midterm election. Rather than a battle between wild-eyed ideologues, which many of the other races feel like, both candidates have smart, measured platforms and would, if elected, be an asset to Arizona. Ken Bennett, the Republican incumbent, has been invested in Arizona politics for 25 years. He has been involved in many facets of Arizona governance, including education; he has served on both the Arizona State Board of Education and the Arizona Charter Schools Board. He has been secretary of state Ken Bennett since he took over the post from Gov. Jan Brewer in 2009. As secretary of state, he’ll push for a transparent, honest election system, which is exactly what voters in this state should be guaranteed. Bennett’s record also shows a commitment to bipartisanship — he aggressively supports alternative energy solutions and has been an advocate for public education. His opponent, Chris Deschene, also sports an impressive background in serving Arizona, but he’s less experienced and more partisan. One of Deschene’s main goals is to protect the rights of rural voters who are often excluded from the voting process. This pursuit, while admirable, is better suited for political activism and community organizing, as it targets a specific group of voters rather than the general populace. The Arizona secretary of state, in addition to overseeing Arizona’s elections, public records and other duties, must be prepared to step in if the governor is no longer able to serve. Chris Deschene is not ready for this role, and would be unlikely to make any headway with an incredibly conservative state Legislature. Bennett has proven he’s ready for such a task, and would be able to work with the state’s leaders to keep Arizona’s government working. For his experience, honesty and fairness, the Daily Wildcat endorses Ken Bennett for Arizona secretary of state.

or a short while last winter and spring, it seemed Jan Brewer might turn out to be a friend to education. In a political climate in which “tax increase” is a taboo phrase, the Republican governor fought for the passage of Proposition 100, a temporary sales tax increase designed to create funding for education and public services. Unfortunately, that was Brewer’s only legitimate contribution to education in Arizona and she herself, on her website, acknowledges that the measure is “not a cure-all.” In her campaign for re-election, Brewer’s education platform is based almost entirely on the passage of Prop. 100 — in other words, on the past. Her plans for the future of education in this state are thin, and focused on the right-wing misconception that failing schools are primarily the fault of failing teachers, not the state’s failure to support those teachers. She throws Terry Goddard around Republican buzzwords like “tougher standards” and “rigorous teacher evaluations” without presenting a way to organize or fund such improvements. She puts the funding onus, too, on schools rather than the government, warning schools to “watch their dollars and cents.” Her K-12 education platform is patronizing and unhelpful, offering few long-term solutions and no legitimate funding strategies. As far as higher education goes, Brewer has no discernable platform. Her website makes no mention of the state’s universities or the massive budget cuts those institutions have seen since she took office. She has made it clear throughout her time as governor that higher education is dismally low on her administration’s list of priorities. Terry Goddard, on the other hand, understands that the governor must address both K-12 and higher education. His platform includes detailed descriptions of his many plans to improve Arizona’s universities. These plans include supporting the Arizona Board of Regents’ commitment to the “2020 Vision,” which aims to double the number of bachelor’s degrees produced by Arizona universities in the next decade, and the “Pathways to Postsecondary” initiative, which stresses the need for alternative routes to higher education, such as a more seamless system with which students can transfer from two-year to four-year institutions. In addition, Goddard has pledged to fund higher education in Arizona, though his funding policy is vague and unfortunately does not include a promise not to cut education further. Though his plan is not perfect, Goddard is clearly more interested in and qualified to support quality public K-12 and higher education in Arizona. Unlike his opponent, he does not place the blame for underperforming schools solely on the backs of students and teachers; rather, he acknowledges that schools and the state have a responsibility to work together to search for new and innovative solutions. For these reasons, the Daily Wildcat endorses Terry Goddard for governor.

Attorney General

Rottelini a must as state attorney general

Advocates of education — and sanity — across the state should have one unifying thought this election season: In any position, anyone but Tom Horne. The current state superintendent of public instruction touts such dubious “accomplishments” as “required character education for students,” “exposed the curriculum of ‘ethnic studies’” and “permanently banned bilingual education.” In other words, Horne has used the office of state superintendent to be an overbearing, meddling bully targeting certain demographics he finds threatening. Now Horne wants to be Arizona’s attorney general, a position from which, if elected, he’ll surely offer more of the same. His platform for the position is based almost entirely on racist, nuancefree nationalism and aggressiveness toward illegal immigration. Not the good, thoughtful, policy-driven kind of aggressiveness, though; the kind that wants to foster “an atmosphere of patriotism” by marginalizing and criminalizing Hispanic people in the bogus spirit of being tough on immigration. Like Felecia Rotellini many other Arizona Republicans, he plans on riding the one-trick illegal immigration pony straight into office. Luckily for Arizona, there couldn’t be a starker contrast between Horne and his opponent. With Felecia Rotellini, Arizonans don’t have to just vote for “anyone but Horne” — they can vote for a strong, smart candidate who will stand up for Arizona. While her platforms are still tough on illegal immigration, she’ll crack down in a sane way that uses Arizona’s resources wisely. Instead of vague platitudes about “securing the border,” Rotellini plans to crack down on human and drug smugglers; in other words, those with the money and power to facilitate illegal immigration. Rotellini will also aggressively prosecute financial and mortgage fraud, a vital pursuit in Arizona’s current economy. Felecia Rotellini is an experienced attorney who will protect Arizonans without wasting resources. She is the clear, and indeed the only acceptable, choice for attorney general.

In a survey released by the Arizona Education Network, Kotterman expressed her desire to recover all the funds that were cut from education by the Arizona Legislature in a way that best identifies the needs of those who rely on public education system. Kotterman has also publicly advocated for increased funding for K-12 education, and to amend Arizona’s Constitution to increase mandatory levels of funding. Whether she can actually accomplish such lofty goals remains to be seen, but, by our reckoning, she should be given the opportunity to try. For these reasons, Kotterman is the best choice. — Heather Price-Wright recused herself from the endorsement for state superintendent of public instruction.

2010 Midterm

Election Guide

United States congressional races

House Congressional District 7

McClung not right for constituents of Southern Arizona

Senate A race not worth watching A

t first glance, it seems like a David versus Goliath story: Democratic candidate Rodney Glassman takes on veteran Republican incumbent John McCain for the U.S. Senatorial seat. A closer look, however, reveals a race that is embarrassing for both candidates. McCain’s voting record on education this past decade is abysmal: his only notable vote is his support for the No Child Left Behind Act. Despite his degrees from and his connections to the UA, Glassman has not offered anything substantial when it comes to education. His website is vague about how he would improve Arizona’s educational standing, and Glassman himself has been equally vague in interviews and public appearances about any specific measures. Given their cringe-worthy media campaigns, it’s difficult to vote for either McCain or Glassman.

It takes more than a bachelor’s degree to be a rocket scientist, and it takes more than a young, inexperienced candidate to represent the people of Congressional District 7. It’s clear that the conservative Ruth McClung doesn’t truly represent the interests of the people of Southern Arizona, which has historically been one of the most liberal constituencies in Arizona. Her conservative politics are at great odds with the values of the people of Southern Arizona. It can only be inferred that her strong poll numbers are a manifestation of a national anti-incumbent fervor. With one of the premier research institutions in the United States relying on the representative from Congressional District 7 to represent its best interests, McClung should have policy plans set out for higher education, but her platform seems to lack any higher education policy. This kind of oversight shows that McClung doesn’t have the interests of her constituents at heart. It takes experience and knowledge of your constituency’s interests to be a U.S. representative. The Arizona Daily Wildcat endorses incumbent Raúl Raúl Grijalva Grijalva for U.S. Congressional District 7. Grijalva has proven to be a asset to the people of Southern Arizona through his honest and accurate voting record that clearly represents the interests of the people in his district. Grijalva’s voting record shows he has an interest in preserving funding to public secondary and higher education institutions, as well as maintaining military funding which is another vital demographic in Southern Arizona.

House Congressional District 8

Giffords’ record shows commitment to education

Congressional District 8’s incumbent Democrat Gabrielle Giffords has a voting record that shows consistent support for students and educators at all levels. She voted in favor of education bills such as the 2007 College Student Relief Act and an expansion of the original G.I. Bill that provides more money for veterans of the Armed Forces who want to get a college education. Giffords is likely to continue her support for future educational measures upon reelection. Challenger Jesse Kelly recently stated in Tucson Weekly that he would support reducing money for education at the federal level. This stance does not bode well for UA students, faculty and staff. The UA not only receives federal grants to fund research projects, but it also received federal stimulus money to create or keep jobs at the university. Given the state legislature’s propensity to slash school budgets during a financial crisis, we need someone willing to speak on behalf of students, faculty and staff when the Gabrielle Giffords state won’t. Based on Kelly’s statements and political platform, it is highly unlikely he would provide any support, financial or otherwise, to Arizona’s universities.

the propositions proposition 106 Proposition 106 would amend the Arizona Constitution to block any rules mandating participation in a health care system. It purports to ensure that Arizona residents have the right to enroll in a private health care system. In reality, the chief goal of Prop. 106 is to undermine federal law, in particular H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, better known by the pejorative “Obamacare.” However, anyone with a basic knowledge of civics understands that states cannot override federal law; this attempt to do so is costly, pointless and embarrassing for Arizona. In a time when Arizona has had to repeatedly balance its budget by slashing social programs, more or less inviting a federal lawsuit would be financially irresponsible. The proposition is a rash knee-jerk reaction to an unpopular federal measure and nothing more. In addition, universal public health care would greatly benefit Arizona citizens. Arizona has one of the highest percentages of uninsured people in the nation, particularly uninsured children. Those people have the right to health care, but can’t afford it. Plus, even those who can currently afford private health insurance would benefit from H.R. 3962, as reducing the number of people who receive health care they can’t pay for would drive down health care costs across the board. Because it’s a costly, irresponsible waste of time and would hurt, rather than help, Arizona citizens, vote NO on Proposition 106.

yes

proposition 107 Proponents of Proposition 107, which is sneakily called the Arizona Civil Rights Amendment, would like you to believe that workplace and education discrimination no longer exist in Arizona. In a perfect world, Prop. 107 — which seeks to ban statewide and local affirmative action programs — would be an innocuous and probably superfluous measure. But instead of that perfect world, we live in Arizona. And while some affirmative action practices do deserve a closer look and possible retooling, banning all programs that aim to help women and minorities get access to education and jobs would be irresponsible and have many unintended consequences. The programs cut under this constitutional amendment would include university initiatives to help underrepresented groups succeed; these programs are not “discriminatory,” but merely tools to make sure education is equally accessible to all. Prop. 107 is also superfluous, as “discriminat(ing) against or grant(ing) preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting,” the clause that would, under the measure, be added to the State Constitution, is already illegal in Arizona. The measure seeks not to level the playing field or end so-called “reverse discrimination,” but instead to do away with vital services provided to women and minorities in schools and the workplace. Vote no on Proposition 107.

yes

proposition 109

Any time you amend a constitution, you have to be cognizant of the ramifications of your actions. In this case, proposing

to amend the Arizona Constitution to enumerate hunting and fishing as an inalienable right goes far beyond the scope of its text, and that is cause enough for dissent. First of all, hunting and fishing are not constitutional rights. In no way can it be inferred that human beings have a right to kill animals without severely twisting the intent of the Constitution. And if hunting and fishing were to become constitutional rights, then would it be possible to place limits on how many animals you could hunt? Which animals you could hunt? When you could do so? The potential gray area of interpretation here is much too vast to answer these questions with any degree of certainty. That being said, this measure could be understandable if hunting and fishing were under some sort of widespread attack. But it’s not. This measure is a solution looking for a problem that doesn’t exist and for that reason we cannot support it.

yes

proposition 110

This proposition, if passed, would allow the state to sell, lease or exchange state trust land for other land in order to avoid any conflicts with military bases. Public hearings for each transaction would be held to give the public an opportunity to comment. Transactions would have to be approved by Arizona voters during a November general election. Broad support for this proposition comes from both the military and conservancy groups like The Sierra Club and The Sonoran Institute. Any proposition that invites public input in the process is welcome.

yes

proposition 111

Proposition 111, also known as the Arizona Lieutenant Governor Amendment, is a great “truth in advertising” proposition in theory, but needs a great amount of tweaking. The proposition, if passed, would change the title of Arizona’s secretary of state to lieutenant governor, starting in 2015, in order to better illustrate the line of succession to the governor’s seat. Additionally, it would mandate each political party’s nominees for lieutenant governor and governor to run on a joint ticket in the general election. If this proposition were to simply change the title of the Arizona secretary of state, it would be a no-brainer “Yes” vote, but the added joint ticket stipulation opens up a can of worms that must be addressed before passing this amendment. Not only does the proposition give Arizona an excuse to further polarize its partisan legislature by requiring partisan general election tickets, but it also leaves no contingency for a third-party candidate. If a Green Party or Independent contender decided to run for governor with no applicant for lieutenant governor, there is no language in this proposition to facilitate their general election candidacy. For these reasons the Daily Wildcat endorses a “No” vote on Proposition 111.

yes

proposition 112 All this measure would do is push back the filing deadline for petitions two months, from May 1 until July 1, at no extra cost to the taxpayer. This measure was passed unanimously by Arizona’s Legislature, and let’s be honest, if they didn’t disagree on it, there probably isn’t anything sinister

to the measure and, if that is indeed the case, there’s nothing wrong with it either. Longer deadlines encourage participation in the democratic process and there is certainly nothing wrong with that.

yes

proposition 113 If passed, the Arizona Constitution would be amended to include the following: “The right to vote by secret ballot for employee representation is fundamental and shall be guaranteed where local, state or federal law requires elections, designations or authorizations for employee representation.” As innocuous as it sounds, this proposition is actually problematic. An early draft of this proposition was ruled unconstitutional in July because it conflated public and union elections into one measure, which Arizona prohibits with its single-subject rule for ballot initiatives. Also, this proposition is a preemptive response to the Employee Free Choice Act, a bill that is still under consideration in Congress. Employees would be required to hold elections by secret ballot, regardless of union. It seems strange that the Arizona government would want a say in how employees make decisions about their unions. Business interests in support of this measure, while labor unions oppose it, are a strong indication that this is an unnecessary amendment. It is also an invitation to future lawsuits from the federal government, which Arizona does not need to waste more time and money on.

yes

proposition 203

Like it or not, medical marijuana is fast shedding the remnants of its social stigma and becoming an acceptable, and — in California a preferred,— method of treating patients who suffer from chronic pain as a result of a debilitating disease. With this measure, Arizona would become the 14th state in the U.S. to approve the drug for medicinal purposes. This is not, as some have suggested and/ or hoped, a full legalization of marijuana, but rather continuing a national trend to support a substance that may provide some relief to those who live constantly in pain. Makes sense to us.

yes

proposition 302

If passed, this proposition would divert tobacco tax revenues for early childhood development and health programs into Arizona’s general fund in an effort to ameliorate its deficits. State legislators would have to set aside money from the state budget in order to continue paying for these programs. The proposition would also eliminate the Arizona Early Childhood Development and Health Board and the First Things First program. This is not the first time the state government has tried to take away money from the program. State legislators took $7 million of accrued interest from the fund to help offset the state’s 2009 budget deficit. The board sued and the Arizona Supreme Court ruled unanimously in its favor. While Arizona still needs to fix its massive budget deficit, cutting programs designed specifically to help children ages 5 and under is not the way to do it.

yes

Mystery man arrested for driving under the influence

On Thursday at about 1:30 a.m., a driver was heading northbound on Campbell Avenue when a University of Arizona Police Department officer saw a car weave from side to side, striking the fog lane on the left side and driving over the lane divider on his right. Next, the car turned west onto University Boulevard and the side tires went over the dividing line on the turning lane. The officer pulled the car over. The driver admitted to drinking a beer at Cactus Moon. He could not find his driver’s license. The man said it had been in his pocket, since he used it to get into the bar, but couldn’t find it in his pocket now. The man gave the officer his name but a records check could not verify it and he could not provide a social security number. The officer noted a strong odor of alcohol coming from the car and that the man’s eyes were watery and bloodshot. The officer asked the man to step outside, which he did. The officer gave the man an eye test and a walk-and-turn test. The man showed signs of intoxication in both tests. The man was still unable to identify himself and the officer arrested him on charges of driving under the influence and transported him to UAPD in handcuffs. Since the officer could not verify that the man had a driver’s license, the car was impounded. The man submitted two breath tests once at UAPD. The first, taken at 2:36 a.m., showed a blood alcohol content of 0.137. The second one, taken at 2:43 a.m., showed a blood alcohol content of 0.128. The man was then told that he was being transported to Pima County Jail in order to verify his birth and identity. Before he was taken away, the man provided his Mexican passport. He told the officer he had dual citizenship in the U.S. and in Mexico. He was then booked into Pima County Jail.

Another DUI

Around 11:13 p.m. on Thursday, a UAPD officer watched as a white SUV made an illegal right-hand turn onto Speedway Boulevard. The officer pulled the car over and had the driver identify himself. The officer noticed the man had watery and red eyes and could smell alcohol coming from the vehicle. The man said he had not been drinking. The officer asked the man to step out of his car. He then did a couple of tests to see if the man was drunk. The tests indicated that the man was intoxicated. The man then admitted to drinking one shot and a beer. A preliminary breath test showed positive presence of alcohol. The man was placed under arrest and taken to UAPD. Once at the police station, the man submitted to two breath tests. The first showed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.033, and a second showed 0.027. The car that the man had been driving was towed for a 30-day impound since the driver was not of legal drinking age. The man was given a copy of his citation, tow paperwork and copy of the intoxication results. Another officer came and arrested two other passengers that had been traveling with him on charges of minor in possession, since they, too, had been drinking and were underage.

Students caught tokin’ it up with turtles

Read the Daily Wildcat Sports Section Get up to date coverage on all UofA sporting events.

Two UAPD officers were in a patrol car in the area of Park Avenue and Second Street when they smelled a strong odor of marijuana in the area on Oct. 19 at 11:47 p.m. The officer looked to the east corner of the intersection and saw two men and two women get up from a bench at the turtle pond on campus, and begin to walk away. The officer noticed that the four individuals were the only people in the area. The men were walking southwest and the women were walking southeast. One officer approached the women while the other approached the men. The officer went up to the men, instructed them to sit down and told them why he had stopped them. The two men verbally identified themselves as UA students and gave the officer their CatCards for identification. When one of the men sat down at the officer’s request, he saw a glass pipe, lighter and a broken jar with a marijuana leaf decoration on it about two feet away. A bud of a leafy green substance was at the rim of the jar. The officer pointed to the items and asked if they belonged them, but the men stated that it did not belong to either of them. They said they understood their rights and would not answer any questions. One man said he wanted to speak to his father. The officer then saw this same man bend down to pick up a lighter that was in the grass and place it in a red Ziploc pouch that was attached to a lanyard around his neck. The man said he did this because it belonged to one of the women. The officer told him that since the item wasn’t his own belonging, to put it back on the grass, which he did. The second officer reported that he had spoken to the two women, who told him that the men had just shown them the marijuana pipe and jar with marijuana in it. The girls identified the items individually as the items the men had shown them. The officer then placed the two men under arrest for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were placed in handcuffs and a full custody search was conducted. They were both transported to Pima County Jail, where they were booked without incident.

Changes evident in soccer

Transition year yielding a positive attitude in place of wins

COMMENTARY BY Michael Fitzsimmons sports writer

With four games left in Arizona’s soccer season, it’s still too early to deem the season a success or a failure. That being said, it’s undoubtedly been a transition year for the Wildcats’ program. When you couple a roster of 12 freshmen with a first-year head coach, their record — 5-9-2, 1-4 Pacific 10 Conference play — is pretty standard for a

Matt Scott played as close to a perfect game as a quarterback could play in Arizona’s 44-14 win over Washington on Saturday. He proved that, if needed, he could fill in for starter Nick Foles and the coaching staff wouldn’t have to worry about any lack in production. But that’s all his role will be, because if

Quarterback Nick Foles is the team’s undisputed starter, but despite returning to practice this week, he is still listed as questionable. Head coach Mike Stoops has yet to name a starter for the UCLA game this Saturday.

team in a rebuilding year. In order to truly gauge the progress of the program, you have to look beyond X’s and O’s. Since the first day of the season, players refused to accept making excuses about the way the team played this year, and expected to create a culture of winning in 2010. “We want Arizona to have a reputation of winning. We want to win, and we want to win now,” said senior Macke Mutz earlier in the year. This is the type of answer you will get from all the Arizona players, and the attitude begins with head coach Lisa Oyen. Despite not being dealt the FITZSIMMONS, page A10

Quarterback

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona quarterback Matt Scott did more than just fill in for starter Nick Foles Saturday against Washington. It had been over 13 months since his last start, but he used that time to study the game and eventually turn in an 18-for-22, 233-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Huskies. Scott also gained 65 yards on the ground and compiled a passer rating of 200.78. The performance by the 6-foot-3, 195-pound quarterback earned him the Pacific 10 Offensive Player of the Week honors. Nick Foles is back practicing and questionable for Saturday’s game against UCLA, but Scott believes he’s earned playing time and could see the Wildcats playing both him and Foles. “Hopefully I get a lot more playing time even if Nick does go in,” Scott sad. “Maybe we can go dual system. It will really wreak havoc for the defense.” “I think we could do a lot of damage with that,” he added. “It looks good, and we’ll see what happens.” But like everyone else, Scott is still in the dark on who will start under center Saturday. “I have no idea,” he said. “Coach hasn’t said anything to us yet so we’re going to cross that bridge when we get to it.” The Arizona Daily Wildcat caught up with Scott Monday after practice to talk about his newest award, his idol growing up and some of his ink. Daily Wildcat: What does the Pac10 Offensive Player of the Week award mean to you? Matt Scott: It means a lot to me. I feel like I’ve really worked hard in this past year to really improve and work on every aspect of my game, and I feel like I’ve done that. It makes me real happy to receive that award. So at the start of this year if I would have told you that you were going to win Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Week at some point what would you have said? I probably would have told you that you were crazy (laughs). But things happen, you know, that’s just how football is. You came to Arizona as a fourstar recruit, with offers to schools like Michigan. What was it like losing the

Foles is healthy, he should play. I understand that Scott provides a fresh look by being able to run and that he will pose problems that defenses wouldn’t have to deal with if Foles were to play, but let’s look at the numbers. Scott passed for 233 yards on Saturday and ran for an additional 65. A quarterback contributing 65 yards is incredibly beneficial to an offense, and is certainly a change of pace to the usually pass-only Foles. But add the numbers up. Scott passed and ran for a combined 298 yards. Foles has eclipsed that number with his arm alone three times this season – 360 passing yards against Toledo, 303 against Iowa and a whopping 440 against Oregon State. Foles doesn’t pose the threat to tuck and run quite like Scott does, but he’s shown enough prominence through the air that defenses still have more than their hands full preparing for him. The other argument for Scott to start this week is to rest Foles. I certainly understand that and don’t disagree with it. If Foles has any questions about his knee he shouldn’t play, but if he continues to move around the way he has this week in practice then he should. You could argue that UCLA is an inferior game, so why risk further injury with Foles in there? That’s true, but only to a point. Look at it this way: Arizona should handle UCLA with relative ease, but the schedule after it is daunting – at Stanford, USC and at Oregon. Those are quite possibly UA’s most difficult games of the season, and they’re all in a row. The Wildcats need to be ready for that stretch. Despite being 6-1, Arizona hasn’t been as consistent as head coach Mike Stoops would like. Taking this game against UCLA to fine-tune everything with what is considered the starting lineup is imperative for the Wildcats to run the table against Stanford, USC and Oregon and make a run at the Rose Bowl. Scott was phenomenal against Washington and likely earned a series or two in every game for the rest of the season, but if Foles is going to start against Stanford, he should play against UCLA if healthy.

Matt Scott

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Wildcat

There’s no question that, when healthy, Nick Foles is “The Guy” for Arizona. But considering the circumstances, Matt Scott should run the show once again at UCLA on Saturday. First off, UCLA is not very good. Although the Bruins knocked off the Longhorns in Austin, Texas, earlier this season, it’s hard to get past their 3-4 overall record and 1-3 Pacific 10 Conference record. And with the loss of quarterback Kevin Prince, UCLA is even more beatable. Secondly, when else this season will Arizona get the chance to start and keep Scott, a four-star recruit, happy? Sure he should see a little more time with Foles injured, but he may never get the chance to start over the remainder of his career at Arizona. And with UCLA being the last subpar opponent (besides ASU) on Arizona’s schedule, why not roll with Scott for one more week? Foles looks good and is back practicing at full speed with the team. But with No. 12 Stanford and Andrew Luck lurking, why not give Foles another week to fully heal? Scott clearly earned another start and proved he’s more than capable of leading Arizona to Pac-10 wins. He’s no longer the frazzled and frantic Scott that would escape the pocket too early. He is finally a capable passer, while still threatening on the ground. Even if Scott doesn’t perform at the level he did against the Huskies, Arizona’s defense is good enough to limit a fairly predictable UCLA pistol offense. The Wildcats boast the seventh bestrun defense in the nation, and UCLA has run the ball 306 times this season, compared to only 156 pass attempts, last in the conference. Scott also matches up well against the Bruins, who are eighth in the Pac-10 against the run, allowing 194.9 yards per game. UCLA’s given up 304 and 270 yards on the ground in the past two weeks to Cal and Oregon, respectively. Arizona is more of a run-first team with Scott at quarterback, giving Mike Stoops another reason to go with Scott and rest Foles for the Cardinal.

UCLA also ranks fourth in the conference against the pass, allowing only 205.3 passing yards per game, so you would have to think the running quarterback would be more effective than the pocket passer less than two weeks removed from a dislocated kneecap. Foles could use some more time to rest up, and Scott deserves another start that may never present itself again if sunshine is healthy for the rest of the season. If there’s one time to start Scott, it’s now.

Mike Chr isty/Arizo

PRO:

starting job and sitting? You know, coming out of high school and being a big recruit and everything, it’s tough. Coming here and losing the spot, it’s a real humbling experience. I’ve learned from that. I’ve just tried to improve every day and take my game to the next level. What was the whole game experience like for you Saturday? It was real exciting, just seeing the whole crowd excited. I ran over there and gave high fives to everybody, telling them ‘thank you, you guys are great.’ The fans are a vital aspect to this program and we wouldn’t have a lot of the things we have without them so I was just telling them how much I appreciate them. Was that your greatest football moment? Probably, yeah. So what’s with the hair? Well me and Bryson (Beirne) just kind of kept it going this summer. We haven’t really set a time limit for when we cut it but I’ll probably cut it after the season, after the bowl game. I always see the MARS tattoo down your right arm, what’s behind that? I’m a martian (laughs). No, that’s my initials, so I got that tatted. Who’s your NFL team? I have to say the Vikings. I’ve been a fan ever since they had Daunte Culpepper, and Randy Moss and Cris Carter back in the day. Who was your idol growing up? I think it was Vince Young, ever since he came in the Rose Bowl and beat the Trojans I was like ‘dang, who is this guy. I want to be just like him.’ He’s been through a lot, but he’s a great player, a great leader and he makes things happen. Who’s the fastest guy on the team, are you up there? I’d like to think so, but a lot of people would probably tell you I’m not. Keola (Antolin) said he was faster than you. Yeah he probably is. He’s a running back though, so he’s supposed to be (laughs). Who’s the funniest, most entertaining guy on the team? Robert Golden. Golden. Oh man, the guy is just SCOTT, page A10

SPORTS FITZSIMMONS continued from page A7

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Junior safety Robert Golden is one of the many Wildcats from California. The coaching staff hopes that being placed in the same Pac-12 division as USC and UCLA will help the Wildcats land even more recruits from the Southern California area.

Placement in Pac-12 South should help recruiting

on the Trojans or Bruins. Or mommy and daddy can even make the six-hour drive to Tucson to see their star athlete play in McKale Center or at Arizona Stadium. Family members certainly won’t be able to make the trek to Eugene, Ore., or Seattle, Wash., and the Ducks and Huskies will only play at either UCLA or USC once every two years. So while the Wildcats now have a window into California’s best, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State are now on the outside looking in from the North division. And the other two members of the South division – Utah and Colorado – don’t have the draw and intrigue of a program like Arizona, not to mention that they’re farther geographically. History will still repeat itself and the Wildcats will lose recruits to UCLA and USC, but Arizona is on the rise as a program. And those winning ways along with the new SoCal ties equal more and more ballers in Tucson. It’s all about exposure, and Arizona will be seen and heard through the Golden State more than ever. When asked how important the alignment is to recruiting,

Arizona outside receivers coach Dave Nichol answered, “Real important. There are a lot of guys in that area that I recruit and hopefully they’ll get tickets through UCLA and come cheer for us.” As Nichol mentioned, Arizona has a ton of SoCal products already. The basketball team features Kyle Fogg, Solomon Hill, Jamelle Horne, Alex Jacobson, Jordin Mayes and Derrick Williams all hailing from California. And the football team has Ricky Elmore, Robert Golden, Nic Grigsby, Joe Perkins, Shaquille Richardson, David Roberts and Matt Scott, just to name a few. “Our kids have a lot of connections up there,” Nichol said. “That’s a big part too is players helping. Some of our guys do (a) great job spreading the word. Out in LA, my boy Robert (Golden) up in Fresno.” The current California connection, coupled with the future California connection that comes along with playing in the South division means big things for Arizona recruiting. Parents can watch their kids play more often, and more games in the Golden State means more exposure for Arizona.

strongest hand, Oyen has created an expectation of winning and refuses to allow her team to accept the role of bottom dweller in an elite Pac-10 conference. Take Sunday’s 3-0 loss to No. 1 Stanford. The Cardinal are everything as advertised. They are big, fast, talented and don’t make mistakes. But Arizona hung with, and even outplayed, the number one team in the country for a majority of the match, and after the loss, Oyen’s remarks projected an attitude that said the Wildcats wouldn’t go without a fight. “This is why you come to play here, we want to play against the very top teams in the country. If this is the standard and consensus around the country, that this is the number one team, let’s put our best effort out there and see how we match up,” Oyen said. “We have the opportunity to play against the best, so let’s not sit back. Let’s go see what we can do.” They are intent on sending a message to everyone they play that this is a different team than in 2009, and the team’s makeover from last season has even caught the attention of some fans. “They’re fun to watch. And they’ll be better next year,” said one Arizona fan on Sunday to another Wildcat fan. Granted, there have been some lulls this year, see the 5-1 loss to Ohio State, that made it seem like

the Wildcats were relapsing. But consider that the Wildcats have also played the majority of the year without 2009 AllPac-10 forward Renae Cuellar, who underwent season-ending knee surgery. For the last three games, Arizona has played with high energy, and if they continue to do so, the Wildcats will be setting themselves up for future success sooner rather than later. Arizona’s five wins this season already surpass their win total from last year. While it is too early to put a label on the 2010 Wildcats, the

attitudes of players and coaches around the program suggest that the program is headed in the right direction regardless of what the team’s final record ends up being. “I think it’s really important for them to put out a product that they can be proud of,” Oyen said. Oyen’s leadership has provided a sense of stability that has trickled down to the players, and has them buying into the idea that Arizona has the potential to be one of the top programs in the Pac-10.
