Prop would trump state spending limits By Brian Mori ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The City of Tucson wants permission from voters to spend all the money it collects during the next four years, overriding state spending limits by about $42 million. If passed on Nov. 3, Proposition 400, also called the Home Rule Proposition, will allow Tucson the option to spend

100 percent of what it collects in revenue, instead of putting some into savings as Arizona law requires. Every year, the Arizona Economic Estimates Commission determines the amount municipal and county governments can spend without a city override, based on population growth and revenue from taxes and other income. Proposition 400 will not raise taxes or

fees, according to city officials. Most city services, including public safety, parks and recreation, and business development are paid for with property taxes and fees from things like parking tickets and permit applications. “Whatever money we have coming in, we have to spend it for this community,” said Ward 6 City Councilwoman Nina Trasoff. “There’s nothing wrong

with saving it or putting it in reserves, but right now we need to be putting the money into the programs.” Trasoff said the money would be spent to fill holes in the city budget created by the recession. In 2010, all Tucson services will operate from a total budget of about $1.3 billion, including about $51 million in federal stimulus funds.

THE MEN BEHIND THE MACHINES

Death doesn’t erase the online footprints that people leave in life, and now Facebook won’t either. The five-year-old social network will “memorialize” profiles of the dead if their friends or family request it. Such accounts will be different from regular Facebook profiles. For example, the site will remove any contact information and bar people from logging in. The person’s profile also won’t appear in the “suggestions” section of Facebook, and only the deceased person’s confirmed friends will be able to find them in a search. The development comes as Facebook becomes an important social hub for its more than 300 million active users worldwide to keep up with friends and family. Writing on Facebook’s official blog, employee Max Kelly said the question of how to deal with death in a virtual world hit home quickly when one his best friends and fellow Facebook employees was killed in a bicycle accident. “The question soon came up: What do we do about his Facebook profile? We had never really thought about this before in such a personal way,” wrote Kelly, Facebook’s director of security. “Obviously, we wanted to be able to model people’s relationships on Facebook, but how do you deal with an interaction with someone who is no longer able to log on?” Patti Harada , who teaches Psychology of Death and Loss at the UA, called Facebook’s decision to memorialize pages “wonderful.” “It helps keep that person alive,” said Harada, who is a grief and trauma counselor and adjunct faculty member in the psychology department. “We know the person has died, but most people are so afraid of

While the total has increased $16.5 million from Fiscal Year 2009, the portion over which the council has discretion, the General Fund, has decreased by $49 million. The General Fund represents only about 32 percent of Tucson’s total bank account, according to the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2010.

The University Research Instrumentation Center is where many of the devices and machines for highly specialized UA research projects are fabricated. These machines are used for cutting, milling, boring, tapping, dyeing and many other metal-crafting tasks. The center produces devices not only for the UA, but also for entities outside of the university.

The UA Research Instrumentation Center has played a key role in helping the UA achieve its prominence in the fields of astronomy and optical science. From cameras that snapped photos of the Martian surface to high-powered radio telescopes, the instrumentation center has been critical in designing and developing prototype parts.

Campus police have issued an exclusionary order against a man who allegedly repeatedly harassed faculty and staff on campus, effectively barring him from all property owned and controlled by the UA. The man, 48-year-old Carlos David Manrique, allegedly frequented the workplaces of certain faculty members, sent them unwanted e-mails from university computers and violated pre-existing Carlos David court orders, according Manrique to a University of Arizona Police Department press release. Manrique already has two court orders prohibiting harassment and a court order barring him from the campus, the report says, adding that he is known to frequent the Modern Languages and the Main Library computer commons. Exclusionary orders — which can be given only to non-UA affiliated persons like Manrique — last for either six months or one year and can be issued following complaints of harassment, disturbing the peace, misuse of university facilities or a crime, UAPD spokesman Sgt. Juan Alvarez said. UA affiliates accused of similar misdeeds can be referred to the Dean of Students Office, Alvarez said. Exclusionary orders are rarely issued, Alvarez said. “It’s not something we do all the time,” he said. — Arizona Daily Wildcat

To aid UAPD in enforcing this order, please dial 911 if you see Manrique on campus.

Students’ video game business thrives By Marissa Freireich ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A UA student has transformed one of his hobbies into a successful online company. Evan Paul, a communications junior, founded eGamePlace.com at age 15. The company provides a trading platform for people across the country to exchange video games. The Web site has about 86,000 active users. The site supports all systems across all consoles, and users can also trade across systems, Paul said. The company works through an automated process. One person makes a list of the games they have and the games they want. That person is matched with someone else who has corresponding lists. Both people then pay for the exchange and send

their game through the mail. The transfer itself costs $1.95, plus the cost of shipping. Within a few days, both parties will receive their games. If one person fails to send their game, the company will reimburse the other person. Users also rate other users in a system similar to eBay’s. The site also acts as a community because members can talk to other members about games, Paul said. Paul’s inspiration for the company came from personal experience. He was diagnosed with dyslexia before his freshman year of high school, and said video games served as a release for him as a child. “Video games provided me with an escape, an outlet,”he said.“It was something I excelled at.”At that point, he was beating video games about every two weeks.

Save the boobies! In honor of Cancer awareness month, 26 fun-themed bras made by the Bits N Pieces Quilt Guild are on display at St. Luke’s Hospital Cancer Resource Center in Chesterfield, Missouri. Breast cancer survivor and quilter Judy Humphrey of Lonedell, Mo., had the idea to have the group make the bras to raise breast cancer awareness and inspire humor.

John Cardona Pre-business freshman Let’s talk about the King of Pop. The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, all right. Let’s do it. What are your thoughts about the guy? Um, I never really was a huge fan. But he got really big after, I mean before and after death, but he’s a cool guy I guess, minus the whole kids thing. What’s your favorite song that he preformed? I’d probably have to say “Beat It.”That was a sick one. What about his music videos? Some of those could get pretty crazy. “Thriller,”definitely. Any particular reason? Just because it’s a crazy-ass video. I know you’re not a huge fan, but are you going to check out his new movie? No, I didn’t even know about it, actually.

Death of long-lost flame reunites man with class ring after 57 years AKRON, Ohio — An Ohio man was shocked to have his high school ring back after 57 years and was surprised by where it was returned: at the wake for his high school sweetheart. Joe Lepera, 75, had dated Sharon Coddington Gainer for two years, but they broke up when he joined the Air Force

True. I guess the whole thing is basically just extra clips and footage from his shows and rehearsals and stuff like that. Seems weird to me. Yeah, they kind of do that with music now, too. I mean, Tupac is dead but they make new stuff for him, like, every day, so … Do you think Michael Jackson will be able to make as many records when he’s dead as Tupac has? Somebody’s going to figure it out. Somebody’s going to figure out how to just mix music together and pretty much make some new music every year, so …

NEW YORK — Hurricane Katrina gave Ned Sublette a dramatic coda — and title — for his memoir. “The Year Before the Flood” documents the last year New Orleans and its thriving music scene were still fully intact before the city was nearly washed off the face of the Earth. It’s a tale full of foreboding. “I was convinced I was seeing something imperiled,” said Sublette, 58, in a phone interview.“It was clear something would happen. I just didn’t know when or that it would be a 30-foot wall of water topping the city levees, and that after a catastrophic flood the survivors would be left to rot.” The singer-songwriter, who spent decades playing in the downtown Manhattan rock scene and releasing Cuban music with his groundbreaking Qbadisc label, moved down to New Orleans in 2004 to work on another book, “The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square,”which came out last year. His arrival in the city stirs up old memories of his youth in Louisiana and a newfound ambivalence that courses through his new memoir. “The only reason you put up with living in New Orleans is you get to live in New Orleans,”he explains.“You don’t love New Orleans until you’ve hated it.” Born in Lubbock, Texas, Sublette lived until age nine in the old city of Natchitoches in northern Louisiana, and recounts how white and black people were segregated in the first section of“The Year Before the Flood.”The rest of the book is the story of how he comes to feel strangely at home in the doomed city of New Orleans. “The real value of the book is its chronicling the passage of time in the last year the city was whole,” says Sublette. “As the year passes, you’re always going to a festival or a saint’s day or an anniversary. There’s a very pronounced rhythm, and you can’t just parachute in.” The new book’s title, of course, wasn’t what Sublette had in mind when he returned to Louisiana. He initially envisioned the book ending with him heading back to New York City early after a drunken tourist breaks into his home during the city’s famous Jazzfest. But Katrina struck just after he left town. The story all came together, even if it meant Sublette had to start writing the memoir all over again. While New Orleans’ music suffered a near-death experience, and fewer African-Americans have come back than whites, Sublette returned five months after Katrina to see the city’s culture reborn. He compares New Orleans’ music scene now to that of New York during the bleak 1970s and Havana in the early 1990s after the collapse of Cuba’s backer, the Soviet Union. He writes,“It was as if the music of New Orleans could literally be the spirit that survived the body.” — The Associated Press

A REAL CLASS ACT

This isn’t Sparta, but it might as well be Eleni Hasaki shows a Greek battle shield made by a student in her Ancient Greek Technology course. The hands-on class allows students to re-create authentic Greek objects using the ancient technology that Hasaki teaches them. Lisa Beth Earle/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

By Michelle Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT It’s all Greek to students in a course on ancient Greek technology disguised as an upper division “term-paper”class. In the class, students have the opportunity to actually create items used in ancient Greece. Projects range from making ink and perfumes from original Green recipes, to making papyrus — which can be done using plants around Tucson — to working with metals and ceramics. “I’ve had students make solid cast bronze like the early Greeks had in their sanctuaries,”classics professor Eleni Hasaki said. “Others have used the lost wax technology used by later Greeks, but ceramics is my specialty.” The class works with different people on campus and in the Tucson community to give students an introduction to the range of artistic resources available to them. “This week we talk about stone carving and the different hardness on stones,” Hasaki said. “We go out into the community to a sculptor’s workshop to carve in stone.”

Hasaki also collaborates with the UA Department of Materials Sciences and Engineering and works closely with the ceramics studio on campus. “It gives students the opportunity to work with other departments,” Hasaki said. “If you’ve never been to different facilities on campus this is a good chance.” This class doesn’t stop with modern technology. Students have gotten together and helped build a Greek kiln at a local high school, St. Augustine’s Catholic High. Scientists around the country use this kiln to test ceramic qualities since there are so few wood-firing kilns left in the world. Students learn that Greek technology was not only the foundation for modern technology, but is also used in many ways today. The final project is assigned around a centralized theme for the year that students can relate to. “Because of the climate change and environmental concerns, we’re doing agriculture this semester,”Hasaki said. Each student chooses the material they are most interested in, which has helped make the outcomes unusual. For example, one student who was a wrestler made a shield out of leather, wood

and metal, and painted a picture of a bull’s head — a symbol of strenglth — on the front, finally inscribing his artist’s mark on the back in Greek. Projects like this are judged not only on the final result but also based on a written outline of steps and illustrating the process. “People understand better with hands-on projects,”Hasaki said. This class is open to all students, but “it helps to be in the (classics) major or know a little about the ancient world,”she added. “I love the class and it’s really interesting,”said Stephanie Raynor, an anthropology senior in the class. “(Hasaki) teaches it really well and I think anyone could enjoy it.”

Ancient Greek Technology Classics 430/530 taught by Eleni Hasaki Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.

“I felt like it was something I needed and never had,” he said about the concept of the company. To start the company, Paul needed to find a lawyer and initial seed money, which he received from family and friends. He launched the company in October 2004 in Boston, Mass. Paul said the company has grown by word of mouth in gaming communities. With new games costing $60 to $70, eGamePlace.com is doing well in this economy, Paul said. “People don’t want to spend money when they can trade,” he said. It takes the average college student gamer between two and

six weeks to finish a game, according to Paul. Paul said the Internet has made doing business more manageable. His company has 15 full-time workers in Nepal working on development and building the technology. They also have about four workers in their satellite office in Bangladesh and two people working in Boston on marketing. Paul is currently in negotiations with a well-known family in the Middle East who has offered nearly $12.5 million for the company. He has also received offers from large public companies that are interested in buying the company. He stressed that he will only sell to the right buyer and does not want the company to become commercialized. “It’s for the gamers,” he said. In the future, Paul hopes to expand the company to an international market. He hopes to launch the company in parts of Europe within about three months and in the Middle East within six to eight months. Paul said some challenges with expanding the company internationally will be dealing with copyright laws, censorship and cultural norms in other countries. Mohammed Sharawi , a regional development senior,

has been helping to find buyers overseas. He said his coursework has applied to the work he is doing with eGamePlace.com. Sharawi said he became interested in the company because of the trading aspect. “A lot of people aren’t rich,” he said.“The average family can not afford to buy a game every two weeks.” Sharawi was born in the United Arab Emirates and was raised in Kuwait. He came to the United States for college. He speaks Arabic and English. “It’s easier to talk to investors if you speak their language,” he said. “It’s a lot easier if you understand the culture and not say words they don’t like.” With their plans for expansion, Paul said it is sometimes difficult to balance school and business. “I’ve worked so hard for everything. I want to keep going,” he said. He said sometimes he hears students complain about not wanting to go to class or do homework, but for him the work is twice as difficult. “If you can sit down and drive yourself to finish it, you can do the same thing in business,”he said. Paul also said people should follow their passion in life. “I followed my dream to do something I enjoyed,”he said.

On Nov. 3, city voters will decide whether to continue the City of Tucson’s alternate expenditure limitation, originally approved by voters in November 2005. The alternate limitation allowed the city to spend $21 million last year, which the state would normally require the city to save.

PROP 400

An additional 17 percent accounts for enterprise funds like Tucson Water, which bills citizens directly, and the rest, about 51 percent, is regulated by law. Although there is much speculation on whether the city will raise taxes if voters pass Proposition 200, which would increase police and fire staffing, the city budget reflected that overall tax rates will drop in 2010. The council has recently come under fire for spending on nonessential programs like KIDCO, a free afterschool education and recreation program for elementaryage children. “We could cut everything that promotes quality of life,”

Trasoff said in an interview Thursday, “but that would only save us $3 million.” CBS Tucson affiliate KOLD reported Thursday that the Tucson Association of Realtors, the primary sponsor of Proposition 200, has also endorsed Proposition 400. Colin Zimmerman, public affairs director for the association, was quoted by KOLD as saying, “It proves that we’re not out there to push back. If it’s good, it’s good.” Questions remain as to whether now is the right time for the city to bet the pot. “We’re learning our lesson for not being responsible with our money,” said Erin Sperling, a

political science senior. “(Council members) haven’t been spending our money like they would spend their money.” Speaking on his own behalf in a phone interview Tuesday night, state chair for Arizona College Republicans Andrew Clark said he’d feel more comfortable if the city kept a cushion in case the economy worsened. “I would vote against it,”he said. “I don’t know that we’ve seen the bottom yet, but there’s a high degree of probability that we could see that happen.” Both Propositions can be read in original format on the Tucson City Clerk’s website at www.ci.tucson.az.us/clerks.

disturbing the comfort zone of other people they don’t ask, ‘How are you doing since (so-and-so) died?’” Harada said the Facebook memorials fit in with a trend of mortuaries, cemetaries and also newspapers opening Web pages dedicated to the deceased. Web memorials encourage people to talk about and remember loved ones who have passed on, which is an important part of the grieving process, she said. “It brings them back for a short time,” she said. “It gives you people you know you can talk to about them, to know you’re not the only one who remembers they were really here.” Anita Atwell Seate, a Ph.D. student in the UA department of communication , said Facebook played an important part in the grieving process when one of her own friends died last month. Family and friends turned the deceased’s Facebook page into an online memorial, posting pictures and memories. “The family was really appreciative of the effort,” said Seate, who is conducting thesis research on social networking sites, such as Facebook.

ample of how social networking can play a positive role in people’s lives. “You need face-to-face interaction. But I think that can definitely be supported with computer interaction,” she said. “If you see people understand what you’re going through and can provide social support, it’s something all of you can use. So from the social support aspect, I’m sure it’s quite beneficial.” By press time Tuesday night, the Facebook blog post with the memorial’s announcement had drawn 564 comments. While most commenters used the space to complain about changes to Facebook’s news feed, those who stuck to the blog’s topic agreed with the idea in principle. “I think that is a very sweet idea. I like it,” wrote user Marla Gusler Holman. Others had reservations. “How is FB protecting against pranks and false claims of death? What about a friend’s simple good intentions that go against what a family wants? Also, why are status updates deleted?”wrote user Joanna Choy. “Does FB honor an ‘e-will’ about what to do with FB profiles? That seems like a good idea. This FB policy needs more thought and/or more explanation.”

Soundbites

Wildcat columnists opine on President Obama’s recent declaration that the swine flu is a national emergency.

Flu’s labyrinth

Now that Obama has finally declared swine flu a national emergency, we can finally feel safe in our residence halls, apartments and houses. That was close. Maybe now the other residents in my hall will start washing their hands on a regular basis, using the hand sanitizer dispensers and wearing shoes and a shirt when they go to the lobby. But probably not. The saddest part of flu season/times of epidemics is that it becomes painfully obvious how little our peers think of themselves and the health of those around them. Making very minute readjustments to one’s behavior to decrease one’s chance to attract and spread disease always seemed like a nobrainer to me, but most can’t be bothered. The worst part of the situation is that when people choose to not wash their hands when they leave the bathroom at the Student Union Memorial Center or cover up their mouths when they cough, they’re functionally slapping everyone in the vicinity in the face. “Haha! Your health means nothing to me! I shall cough and not wash my hands with renewed vigor!” Typical student-aged individuals indulge themselves in an unhealthy mix of feeling invincible and social obliviousness. This functionally becomes a game breaker for the flu and its ability to spread, but rare is the student who bothers to be conscious of what bacteria are floating around until he’s down with the sickness and asking for his friends to take care of him. So as swine flu gets even more attention and is taken a bit more seriously, it will be the kick in the pants that our peers need to keep the H1N1 from spreading across our campuses. And while I hate to root for the virus, it will probably have to get worse before it registers as motivation for anyone to make the situation better. Hopefully Obama’s new announcement will make it easier to help people who already have the swine flu, and inspire those who don’t to make better decisions about their health and how it affects those around them. — Remy Albillar is a junior majoring in English.

As always, swine flu blown out of proportion

On one hand, the president’s declaration of a swine flu“national emergency”will probably be useful in some circumstances: hospitals dealing with swine flu issues will be able to go through the often-unnecessary red tape. On the other hand, the federal government has overestimated the supply of swine flu vaccines, and seems to be going along with the media in blowing a mere flu outbreak far out of proportion. Overlooked in all of this is the fact that the H1N1 flu strain is also a sexually-transmitted disease. The administration should back a new initiative to educate the public about this face of the swine flu threat. Public service announcements should encourage citizens to wear protection and refrain from kissing, and Congress should formally declare a war on flu-ridden floozies. All of these steps would also serve the government’s interest in distracting the public from knowing anything about health care legislation. — Daniel Greenberg is a Near Eastern studies senior.

Enough with the worrying

I have never thought of the word“swine”as being particularly noteworthy, but it has the ability to evoke fear of disproportionate magnitude when it prefaces“flu.”Having left Australia during its winter in July, I’ve now been hearing news stories of the national emergency that is swine flu for roughly six months. Frankly, it has yet to affect my life in any real way. People need to settle down and the media needs to start printing the death count of seasonal flu alongside the swine. Does anyone remember the global crises that were SARS and the bird flu? The only scary thing about swine flu is that it would be a horrifically unglamorous way to die. Everyone relax and stop breeding a demand for pharmaceuticals. — Dunja Nedic is an Australian exchange student. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu

Ward 3 candidate finds holes in Prop 200 article

I am Mary DeCamp, the Green Party candidate for City Council in Ward 3, and I am writing to express my frustration with your newspaper following the “Funding questions plague Prop 200” article on Monday’s front page. Nowhere in Monday’s Wildcat story is it mentioned that I was the first candidate to publicly take a stand against Prop. 200. In fact, nowhere is it mentioned that I am a candidate in next week’s city election. My roots with the UA run deep — I got my bachelor’s degree here, I received my master’s degree from UA and I am now completing my doctorate. I worked in various UA administrative units for over 10 years and I have been involved in numerous campus volunteer activities. Given my extensive involvement with UA, I feel I can best represent the interests of UA on Tucson’s City Council and I am asking for your vote. Weeks ago I contacted your offices, in an e-mail and via telephone, to request coverage of my campaign, but I received nothing back from your paper. This is not the quality of journalism that I am sure is being taught by Professor Jim Nintzel over in the journalism department, so I am confused about your policy. My message as a third party candidate is important. I have looked at global conditions (planetary warming, crumbling economy and fraying social fabric), and I have provided practical, affordable local solutions that rely on neighbors instead of turning to government or big business (retrofit Tucson’s older homes for energy efficiency, adopt a local currency and return to community-based policing). The Green Party accepts no corporate donations. We have 10 key values that inform our policy stands beginning with grassroots democracy. We are the third largest political party in the United States and we are international in scope (gp.org). We also believe in future-focus, personal and global responsibility, ecological wisdom, non-violence, local economies and social justice. Please provide your readers with a more rounded picture of local politics. This is an area that has a direct effect on

Rec Center needs more attention to pool temperature regulation

For the second Monday this month, the Student Recreation Center pool has lost its temperature control and is about 85 degrees. At that temperature, swimming is no fun — maybe even dangerous. Ever wonder who is paying for all this hot water? Does this call into question the management capabilities of the Rec Center staff as they are poised to double their size?

Football game temporarily closes bus stops closest to campus

I am a public bus commuter, and I work in the Student Union Memorial Center on the weekends. This weekend I came to find that all of the bus stops on Sixth Avenue between Euclid Avenue and Campbell Avenue were closed. This is completely ridiculous, especially when the buses only come once an hour on the weekends. The football games should not prohibit buses from picking people up on Sixth Avenue. Public transportation commuters have places to go that may not be the UA football game, God forbid. I think I speak for all commuters (especially the ones, like me, who purchased yearly bus passes through the parking and transportation office on campus) would just appreciate a little more respect from UA.

Why things will never change: reaccreditation just more administrational obfuscation

ace it, Wildcats: Things are never going to change. Over the next several years, the UA will be going through a self-motivated, government-mandated process of reaccreditation known as the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools 2010 Self-Study Report. The“steering”committee of this report hopes to“ascertain whether the university satisfies five basic criteria for accreditation,”with criteria involving having a publicly stated purpose and accomplishing that purpose. The paperwork on the process requires the committee to obtain the opinions of the students. It is sending e-mails to students asking them to participate in discussion groups on the process, stating,“The UA is depending on the input received from discussion groups for the association’s 2010 Self-Study Report. This information will ultimately contribute to making the UA a better university.”Could it be that they actually care what we think? Sorry, Wilbur, the answer is a resounding no. An evaluation of the basic effectiveness of the university is a welcome idea, especially given the criticism students and faculty have been expressing with regard to the direction this university is taking. Meeting and maintaining minimum standards of quality and integrity is the least of what needs to be assessed here, an institution of higher learning that supposedly educates students with the information they need for the rest of their lives and can cost nearly $16,000 annually. There are more than a few decisions and “progressions”that have happened in recent years that might not look so shiny under the scrutiny of evaluators and, especially,

the quality of their lives and ignoring one of the candidate choices is a disservice to our community.

students. More than 85 percent of the people on the UA’s payroll of over $780 million dollars are not related to education in any way. Janitors are great, but classes in Centennial Hall are decidedly not. There Anna are as many issues the association could address Swenson as there are wasted dollars flying about the metacolumnist phoric UA Mall. It isn’t pretty and no one likes to say it, but this university needs change. Students are frustrated, faculty are frustrated, and we could all be excited to affect positive change in this place of purported higher learning with a process like the reaccreditation. So is this our answer? Is the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools 2010 SelfStudy the quality control students have been waiting for since we saw our majors eliminated and our classes enlarged? Is this where the buck stops, the protest ends, WebReg actually works and greed gives way to a better school? The probability that it will change anything is slimmer than a UA student’s wallet. First, this process is a“self-evaluation,” meaning the people conducting the research are already administrators in the current structure. They don’t want to see much change — in fact, their jobs depend on the current model of doing everything for more funding. The fine people who are members of the“Steering Committee”answer directly President Robert Shelton and Provost Meredith Hay. It is highly unlikely that any lessthan-laudatory observation a student makes in a discussion committee will make it to the upper echelons of the UA, let alone inspire the administrators to actually do something about the student’s concern. The North Central Association of Col-

leges and Schools 2010 Self-Study has an admirable mission statement — until you read on to find out why they’re doing it: the UA is going through this multi-year, undoubtedly expensive project to stay an accredited school because“the Secretary of Education is empowered by law to recognize accrediting associations for the purpose of approving institutions that are permitted to participate in federal student financial assistance programs.” Of course it’s about the money. The reaccreditation process is supposed to be a check for the university to make sure everything is going as it should. If conducted effectively, the report would allow those in a position to make positive changes to learn what concerns the students and faculty have and address them. Despite the fact that the students already know the UA has more than enough room for improvement, the association won’t accomplish anything significant. Timeconsuming, expensive projects that do nothing for the students are already part of the problem. The entire process, from“kick-off breakfast”to bureaucratic report, is just more of the same vapid, pedantic rhetoric that got us into this overly-general, donor-pandering, student-sacrificing quagmire that consumed what was and could still be a place of real learning and intellectual value. We should just toss all our tuition dollars into the Grand Canyon for all the administration understands the students’ best interests. That would be a better use of the money — at least it would generate some visible results. — Anna Swenson is a sophomore majoring in English. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu

A NOTE FROM THE OPINIONS EDITOR

Each day is a gift W

e’ve reached the hardest point in the semester. Some of us have papers and midterms every week, homework loads haven’t lightened and we still have another month until Thanksgiving break. These kinds of stresses often overwhelm students and lead them into negativity. I was definitely one of these students up until last week. I’m expected to graduate in spring 2010, and the waiting period was really starting to get to me. I blamed mandatory attendance policies for my poor classroom performance, I resented the demands of 400-level classes and I hated that school was getting in the way of my social life. All my academic-related concerns became utterly embarrassing and shameful last Thursday, when I found out that my friend and UA cheerleader Morgan Boisson had just died climbing Mount Everest. I’ve always known that I was lucky to participate in the Arizona in Paris program with Morgan last summer. What I didn’t know was that I was with hilarious, sociable Morgan during the last few months of his life. Like most people, I’m not new to loss. I lost a parent in 2006.You’d think this kind of tragedy would prevent me from complaining about petty things like homework, but somehow, I continued to allow myself to dwell on the small, unimportant annoyances of life. Morgan’s death at the age of 20 reminded me to appreciate every moment I have on earth, even if I have to spend some of that time doing things I don’t want to do. On Morgan’s Arizona Athletics profile page, he listed this as his favorite quote: “The future depends on what we do in the present.” As someone who lived in many different countries and participated in a broad range of activities, he more than anyone knew how to make the most of his time on earth. Everyone else should follow his lead. No matter how stressed you feel with school, work, finances, relationships or anything else, don’t enter the same dark place that your humble opinions editor once fell into. Don’t hold grudges, and don’t, by any means, stay angry with the people that you care about. If you love someone, tell him or her. Waste absolutely no more time trying to achieve what you want. Most importantly, always view the glass as half full, regardless of any adversity you may face. — Laura Donovan is the opinions editor. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu

Center makes prototypes for community research By Will Ferguson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT With a combined total of 250 years of machining and welding experience, the staff at the University Research Instrumentation Center specializes in designing and building prototype components for many of the university’s advanced research projects. The center, located in the Gould-Simpson building, utilizes the expertise of both machinists and welders to aid UA researchers across campus in the construction of gamma ray tubes, vacuum chambers and painstakingly precise telescope masks, among other things. “The center is a grown man’s tinkering set,”said director Robert Kingsley. While most production machine and welding centers mass-produce components for buyers, the university instrumentation center uses specialized equipment and metals to produce parts for some of the UA’s telescopes and mechanical devices. Many of the projects the center takes on require specialized materials and equipment in order to shape them into a finished product, Kingsley said. “We work with all types of metal, from aluminum to titanium. However, titanium is the hardest metal to weld,”said instrument shop supervisor Larry Acedo. “We have to weld titanium inside an argon gas chamber to prevent it from being exposed to impurities.” The center uses titanium to construct durable parts for sophisticated space cameras, high-powered radio telescopes and other applications. Components of both the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory’s Spacewatch Telescope on Kitt Peak and the UA components of the Mars Pathfinder were produced at the center. “Our work on the Spacewatch telescope took around 18 months to complete, but it went by in a blur,”Kingsley said.“This is a prototype shop, not a production one.” Kingsley has been director for the center for two decades, a period during which the instrumentation center contributed to the design and manufacture of imaging spectrographs on board the space transportation system shuttle missions during the ‘90s and the Large Binocular Telescope located on Mt. Graham. The machines used in the center have the capability of producing components ranging from the size of a watch to the large support structures used in the fabrication of radio telescopes. “We use precision machining and grinding

equipment, as well as more specialized tools for precise cuts and measurements,”Acedo said. The center’s coordinate measuring machine is capable of measuring up to 5x10x20 instruments to a precision of 3 microns. “Our newest machine is the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory’s $250,000 laser cutter,” Acedo said. The cutter allows technicians to cut precision masks for large binocular telescopes. The masks are used to help telescope technicians capture clear images of celestial bodies by blocking out interfering light sources during long-term exposures. Many of the center’s milling and welding machines are linked to computers to allow for maximum control and accuracy when cutting or welding. The majority of projects that find their way into the hands of the center’s technicians come from campus departments such as the Steward Observatory and the Optical Sciences Center. Technicians at the center work with researchers who are interested in participating in the design and manufacturing process. “If you’re a researcher, you can come into the shop and work with our personnel,”said Kingsley. In addition to producing specialized parts for the university’s research needs, the center offers a machine shop safety course for undergraduate and graduate students. “We have 13 students this semester enrolled in the six-week safety course,”Kingsley said. The course is open to all students interested in applying machining and welding techniques to their field of study. “We have several machines set aside specifically for students to practice welding and machining techniques with,”Kingsley said. The university’s cryogenics facility is another critical component of the instrumentation center. With the capability to produce 26 liters of liquid helium in an hour, the cryogenics and gas facility is the only location in the state that produces the substance that is used to cool down electronics in devices such as radio telescopes, said Chris Redondo, the facility manager. The cryogenics and gas facility also makes various substances such as liquid nitrogen and dry ice for research on and off campus.

Clockwise from the bottom: Tanks of various gases wait in the University Research Instrumentation Center to be used for research on campus. This is the area where most of the research gases on campus come from. • Research instrumentation maker Russell Cole does precision machining on a specialty component. The accuracy margin he has to fall within is on the order of one ten-thousandth of an inch. Such precision is necessary since parts like this are used by departments such as the College of Optical Sciences and Steward Observatory. • Center Director Robert Kingsley (left) and senior instrumentation shop supervisor Larry Acedo (right) talk about what goes on in the center, located in the Gould-Simpson building. • Conﬁned in the horseshoe area outside of the Physical and Atmospheric Sciences building is the area where most of the university’s liquiﬁed gasses are stored. The two racks of tanks hold about 750,000 cubic feet of helium gas. • The Research Instrumentation Center holds onto these tubes until they are ready for the solar collecting project for which they were fabricated. These bars will be assembled as racks to hold an array of solar panels. The center produces many custom parts and components for machines that are to be used in specialized research.

Man runs out without paying for cab fare

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to the parking lot east of Coronado Residence Hall on Oct. 19 at 10:30 p.m. in reference to a theft of services. Upon arrival, officers met with a cab driver who told them that a man who had identified himself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnâ&#x20AC;? had failed to pay his $12 cab fare. He told officers that he picked the man up at 5255 E. Broadway Blvd. at approximately 10:10 p.m. The man requested to be driven to Coronado. Upon arrival, the man presented an invalid discount coupon. When the driver refused to honor the coupon, the man exited the vehicle and fled on foot. The driver did not wish to press charges and told police he would not be able to identify the rider.

Long-boarder pockets pens

UAPD officers were dispatched to the UofA Bookstore on Oct. 20 at 10:46 a.m. in reference to a shoplifter. Upon arrival, officers met with an employee who led them to the video surveillance room. Police viewed the surveillance footage and observed a man take a package of pens from a rack and exit the store without paying for them. According to police, the man was 6 feet tall, blond, wearing multicolored shorts and carrying a long board. Officers were given a copy of the surveillance footage and a receipt for $4.34 for the total value of the pens, both of which were placed into evidence.

Feather stolen from statue outside of Main Library

UAPD dispatch received a report from UA Facilities Management on Oct. 20 at 11 a.m. in reference to a larceny at the UA Main Library. According to the report, a bronze feather was removed from the Fritz Scholder statue on the north side of the building. The feather was a replacement that had been welded to the statue three years ago at a cost of $5,000. The feather was last seen at 4 p.m. on Oct. 16. According to police, the feather must have been forcibly removed. It is unknown whether the statue suffered any other damage and police have no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Money reported missing from Park Student Union

UAPD officers responded to the Park Student Union on Oct. 20 at 4 p.m. in reference to a report of a theft. On arrival, officers met with an employee of Core Restaurant. The employee told police that he was a supervisor and that he believed a larceny had occurred sometime between Oct. 12 and Oct. 20. According to the man, a money count was last performed on Oct. 12. When a money count was conducted on Oct. 20, it was discovered that $125 was missing. The money is stored in a locked cabinet in a room in the union. It is accessible by all seven employees of the restaurant, but the supervisor does not believe any of his employees would have taken the money. Police have no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Suspicious solicitor intimidates woman

UAPD officers received a report on Oct. 20 at 4:29 p.m. of a suspicious person on campus. According to the police, a woman reported being harassed and intimidated by an unknown man as she was walking toward the Student Union Memorial Center. The woman was on the east side of Old Main when the man casually approached her. He began asking her questions about her leather bag. He commented on how finely it was made and the woman allowed him to hold it as they walked. The man then began asking questions about money, and he told the woman that he worked for Habitat for Humanity and was collecting donations. The woman commented on how well dressed the man was and informed him that she had no cash to donate and that she only carried credit and debit cards. She took her bag from the man and stepped away from him as she continued walking toward the union. The man followed her, telling her that he would be willing to go with her to an ATM so that she could withdraw the minimum donation amount of $50. The woman began to feel uncomfortable and tried to ignore the man. He informed her that he was going to be at a Habitat for Humanity booth on the UA Mall on Oct. 21 and that he would look for her and find her. She asked the man for identification and credentials. He told her she needed to be more trusting of men and that she needed a man in her life. He stated that he still wanted a donation and asked the woman why she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go out with him and if she had a boyfriend. The woman felt intimidated located a police aide at the union. The woman gave officers a description of the man but they were unable to locate any suspects. Police also discovered that Habitat for Humanity was not scheduled to have a booth on the UA Mall on Oct. 21.

Softball plays last game of 2009 By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona softball will throw on its uniforms one last time this year, closing its fall 2009 schedule against the Pima Community College Aztecs at Hillenbrand Stadium today at 6 p.m. “I think it’s important to just finish on a strong note,” said head coach Mike Candrea, who downplayed the final game of the fall. “I know there’s going to be some challenges. The weather is going to be about twenty degrees cooler so it’s an opportunity to play in some bad conditions, which is something you might have to do down there road.” Today will be the last day for Candrea to roll out freshman Kenzie Fowler in the circle, one of the few roles that shouldn’t come into question during the months leading into next year’s spring games. In the other positions, freshmen and newcomers will still be fighting for time on the field. With practices going through November, facing Pima won’t indicate much about which players will eventually separate from their teammates. “I mean, I think we have a pretty good idea of where we’re at right now, but things change,” Candrea said. “I think the big thing right now is to get everyone prepared for the regular season any way that they can.” Focusing on individual improvements will be the players’ main goal. That’s because the team feels well on its way to working as a single unit. “(We want to) have a solid game, SOFTBALL, page 10

Football Notes

Jones confident yet levelheaded

Over the years, the Arizona basketball program has developed a reputation as Point Guard U by shuttling a handful of lead guards to NBA success. Looking forward, head coach Sean Miller will seemingly continue that tradition. Senior Nic Wise will be the last of the great point guards recruited by former head coach Lute Olson to play for the Wildcats. Behind him on the depth chart, a number of possibilities are available, but one player is standing out because of his own expectations. “This is why I made the decision to come here,” said freshman guard Lamont “Momo” Jones, “to be considered as one of those great point guards to come out of Arizona.” Run down the list of graduated guards and Jones has a lot to live up to: Steve Kerr, Mike Bibby, Damon Stoudamire, Gilbert Arenas and even players like four-year starter Jason Gardner and Wise made Arizona a household name for aspiring point guards. “Behind those kind of guys, you know, it’s just great and it’s just a big dream of mine,” Jones said. “I have no doubt in my mind that I’ll be one of the top point guards to come out of here.” His confidence might be a product of his New York swagger, but he’s not just blowing smoke. Jones knows the expectations of playing the point at Arizona and has already been studying former floor generals on tape. Jones said he has watched tape of former Arizona combo guard and fellow New York product Khalid Reeves, who didn’t find quite the same success in the NBA as did the likes of Kerr and Stoudamire, but did make a name for himself playing for Olson in Tucson. “I wasn’t old enough (to remember Reeves) but I have watched tapes and he was a great player,” Jones said. “If I could be like him, I would.” And he fits the mold of the former Wildcat, coming into the program as an excellent scorer and distributor. While at Oak Hill Academy, a prep school in Virginia, Jones slid over to the point guard spot after playing mostly as a shooting guard.

Lamont “Momo” Jones pulls up for a jump shot during Thursday’s practice at McKale Center. The freshman out of New York came to Arizona hoping to leave the school among the best point guards to come through and looks forward to taking lessons from past Wildcat greats.

Hobbled and weary, the Arizona football team has taken a muchneeded break during the past few days to start its bye week. After the Wildcats earned a sloppy 27-13 win against UCLA at Arizona Stadium, it was clear they needed to get healthy before a difficult back-end schedule. “I think it’s a good week to get healthy,” said UA head coach Mike Stoops.“I think it comes at a good time to get us ready for this stretch run.” After a home game against Washington State, the No. 23 Wildcats will play at California, host No. 10 Oregon, play at ASU and close the regular season against No. 4 USC in Los Angeles — all in consecutive weeks. To come out of that slate with a winning record, the Wildcats will need to be at full strength — something the team hasn’t been for the entire season. Stoops said running backs Nic Grigsby and Greg Nwoko are both dealing“weekto-week”with shoulder sprains sustained during the win against the Bruins. Grigsby re-aggravated an injury he sustained against Oregon State on Sept. 26. “Guys get injured. It’s a physical game, it’s a fast game and it’s a grind,” said offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes. “There aren’t many teams that are going to go through a year, especially at the running back position, and not get guys banged up.” Moreover, starting quarterback Nick Foles is still battling flu-like symptoms and defensive end Brooks Reed continues to nurse an ankle injury. However, Stoops said he thinks all players will be available for the Washington State game. “We need to get Brooks back. He’s such a big part of our defense, and that’s really been a huge part missing FOOTBALL, page 10

Athlete of the week: Arizona soccer goalkeeper Devon Wharf was named Pacific 10 Conference player of the week after making seven saves in a 2-1 double-overtime victory against rival Arizona State. The Arizona Daily Wildcat’s Vincent Balistreri caught up with her to discuss the team’s second-straight win over ASU, Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash and rapper Drake.

Devon Wharf second. Only because of the Sweet 16, but I would have to say it was a close second. DW: Since coach (Lisa) Oyen and (John) Galas have taken over it seems that it’s a different team out there. What have they done differently? Wharf: Tactically, nothing has changed, but I think the environment has a lot to do with it. I think girls are just willing to work harder now. It bonded us together because we had a rough start and with coach leaving and everything, it was kind of like, ‘Damn, we been through so much that were not going to let one more thing hold us back.’

DW: So you had seven saves in the team’s first win against ASU and you were named Pac-10 player of the week for the first time. How does it feel considering all the injuries you’ve been through in your career? Is it satisfying to finally get some recognition?

Wharf: It feels great, going from beating ASU and being named Pac-10 player of the week, it’s kind of surreal — it doesn’t feel like it hit me yet. I would love to say this: it is good to end my senior season like this on a high note, but the bad part is we have to focus on the last four games.

DW: I know you guys celebrated after Friday’s huge win, so what did you do to celebrate? Wharf: We definitely celebrated (laughs) … Since we’re in dry season we really didn’t too much. Sam Drees and myself went, and her mom cooked us some food and we watched Twilight. DW: Where would you rank Friday night’s game to all your Arizona soccer moments? Wharf: I would have to say it’s

DW: OK, I’ve been thinking, with you being from Canada, is there any difference from Canadians and Americans? If I didn’t know any better I would have thought you were born in the U.S. Wharf: I would say climate is the biggest difference. Our teammates always make fun of how we say “tomorrow” or how we all say “eh?”. Or they’ll say, “Does Maple Syrup run through your veins?”

DW: You being from Canada, I have to ask this question even though it’s not soccer-related, but who do you like better, Steve Nash or Wayne Gretzky? Wharf: You’re throwing a guy from my hometown in the same sentence as a guy in my favorite sport. This is like impossible to answer. I have to say Steve Nash because he’s from Vancouver. DW: I’m going to say a few names, and I want you to say the first thing that comes to mind? Wharf: (laughs) Oh gosh. DW: David Beckham. Wharf: Uh, good at soccer. DW: This is actually two, coach Oyen and Galas. Wharf: Phenomenal. DW: Drake. Wharf: Hot. DW: I had to throw that in there, considering he’s a Canadian and he is one the best rappers out right now. How do you feel about having a rapper from Canada? Wharf: (laughs) Honestly, it’s so random. First he’s on Degrassi and next thing you know he’s rapping. Everybody’s like, ‘You know Drake, you know the guy off of Degrassi?’ DW: So are Canadians proud to have a rapper from their country? Wharf: Yeah, because now we’re not claiming Nelly Furtado. Because we got Drake. (laughs)

Clear, Crisp and Concise

Operating a halfmillion dollar robot was just a bit nervewracking for Mesa, Arizona, native Shane Durkin during his Human Origins Genotyping Laboratory internship. Shane came to UA intending to major in Physiology and wasn’t sure exactly how he wanted to pursue his future in medicine. “I didn’t know if I wanted to become a doctor, a physician’s assistant, or something else. I did know that I wanted to work in the medical field.” Within his first semester of studies, Shane explored his options and this led to a change in major though not a major change in direction. Now majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Shane graduates in May 2010 and plans to apply for medical school. He said, “I’m happy I switched my major because it allowed me to explore what else is out there.” Read Shane’s complete success story at www.career.arizona.edu.

come out of the game saying, ‘You know what, I did good tonight and we played well as a team,’” said pitcher Ashley Ralston-Alvarez, who will face her former Aztec team. “I think that’s what’s on everybody’s mind.” The Wildcats defeated Pima in their last outing, beating the Aztecs 6-0. In that game, freshman Baillie Kirker and sophomore Lini Koria hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning to help Arizona’s offense, while Fowler was credited with a full-game shutout. Candrea said the team has done a good job blending last year’s players with the newcomers, but there are improvements left to solve in the coming months. “I think it’s gone as well as we could expect at this point,” he said.“(We’ve) got some games under our belt, (but) it’s still a work in progress.”

Learning from NBA players key to improving

In one of the most highly regarded high school programs in the nation, Jones played for head coach Steve Smith, who has sent players — such as Milwaukee Bucks’ rookie Brandon Jennings and Nuggets’All-Star Carmelo Anthony — to the NBA. Likewise, Jones enters an Arizona program where the bar has been set high. “Just going in there with coach Steve Smith and walking in that gym and looking at those great guards … you want to be a part of that,”Jones said. “Going from somewhere like Oak Hill to walking in (McKale) and seeing the retired jerseys of Steve Kerr and Bibby, it’s kind of the same thing.” Having the opportunity to play with those NBA players in the summer or the possibility of an NBA

general manager giving him advice helped solidify Jones’ college choice after he was released from a commitment to suit up for USC. His confidence is high, but Jones knows he’ll have to work hard to reach his goals. He is already talking about playing against Wise in practice and hopes to take parts of the senior’s game and implement them into his own. Of course, he could always take some pointers from his head coach, who played point guard for the University of Pittsburgh from 1987 to 1992. Asked if he had watched any game film of Miller, Jones laughed. “No, but I’m sure in the future that he’ll make me look at those.”

MOMO

After nearly nine years, the Arizona football program got some national recognition. It finds itself ranked in the Associated Press (No. 23) and USA Today/Coaches Poll Top 25 Polls (No. 24). The Wildcats also own a No. 22 ranking in the BCS Poll, but all those accolades aren’t what they’re after. “We have five games left and we want to be there in the end, not in the middle,”Stoops said.“I think we want more of ourselves and our program and if we continually win, we will climb. I think our players will take pride in it and want to stay there.” A win against Washington State would put Arizona at six wins on the year — a mark that would make MKTS: 9 U/A After last year’s bowl-eligible the teamDiv bowl-eligible.

clinching win against the Cougars, the team dropped some close games to the Oregon schools and could have gone to a better bowl game.This year, the Wildcats won’t be satisfied with just a postseason appearance. “We are on week-to-week seasons and I think our players really understand that a lot better now than they have in the past,” Stoops said. “We haven’t accomplished anything or any of our goals up to this point. We have a long way to go.”

Kink in kicking game

For the second consecutive game and third time this season, kicker Alex Zendejas missed an extra point attempt.The past two games, the Wildcats’kicker missed the point on the team’s second touchdown of the game, but made all of the following kicks. Stoops said the missed kicks are a cause for some worry, but he expects Zendejas to get back on track. “I think Alex has the talent. He just needs to find the consistency,” Stoops said.“He’s got a strong leg, and when his technique is right, he can kick the ball as well as anybody.”
