New high for UA Fulbright scholars

By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT

More UA Fulbright scholarship recipients are traveling the world this semester than ever before.

The Fulbright scholarship is a federally-funded award given to graduate students or recent bachelor’s degree recipients to travel abroad to the location of their choice and engage in a foreign community through a secure affiliation. More than 140 countries host Fulbright students though various projects and jobs, including teaching and research opportunities.

The UA Office of Nationally Competitive Scholarships saw its highest amount of student participation with 60 applications last year. Sixteen of these applicants were awarded scholarships by the Fulbright selection committee, which is the highest number of UA students to ever receive the scholarship in one school year, according to Karna Walter, director of the Office of Nationally Competitive Scholarships.

“We had more applicants than ever this past year,”

Crowd gathers in support of melanoma awareness

By Michelle A. Weiss DAILY WILDCAT

In a state with constant sunshine, there’s a constant risk for skin cancer.

To combat this disease, the UA’s Arizona Cancer Center Skin Cancer Institute put on a Melanoma Walk event this Saturday to raise awareness. The event began at 2 p.m. at the University of Arizona Cancer Center-North Campus, with free skin cancer screenings. There was also food, music and activities for the participants.

The ceremony for the 1.5-mile walk kicked off at 4 p.m. The walk drew in about 500 people, including 32 teams formed prior to the event, said Heather Hiscox, the program development coordinator with the Skin Cancer Institute.

“It’s wonderful to bring everyone together to talk about, think about and spread the word about melanoma,” Hiscox said.

The walk was first held in 2009, when it raised $30,000 for melanoma research, patient care, outreach and education.

Organizers hope to double those numbers she said.

Film criticizes the portrayal of women in media

By Savannah Martin DAILY WILDCAT

Depictions of women in media prohibit them from participating in the political process, starting when they are girls and following them long into their professional careers, says “Miss Representation,” a documentary by Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

Members of the UA and Tucson community filled the Loft Cinema on Saturday morning to see the film.

Arizona List, an organization committed to electing Democratic, pro-abortion rights women, sponsored the screening.

“Miss Representation” turns a critical eye on advertising, movies, and television to analyze how the media portray females and what effect their messages have on women and men in American culture.

According to the film, advertisements, movies, magazines and even news programs objectify women.

Consequently, the film says, American girls and women objectify themselves, depleting their sense of political efficacy.

“Women’s voices really are being silenced,” said

We card: Campus shops now require ID

By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

All restaurants on campus are now checking photo identification with credit or debit card purchases exceeding $10 as part of a new anti-theft measure.

The new policy is to maintain Payment Card Industry compliancy, which is designed to ensure all companies that process, store or transmit credit or debit card information maintain a secure environment, according to Jianne Johnson, a manager at Retail Dining Service. Johnson said in order to verify that people aren’t stealing credit cards, the campus restaurants are now asking for ID. “We want to make sure customer security information is kept secure. It’s a safety precaution,” Johnson said. “We don’t want people maxing out stolen cards, and we (dining services) don’t want to be held liable for charges.”

Students can still use their parents’ credit or debit cards if the student’s name is on the card or if the back of the card is signed with the student’s name, according to Johnson.

Alum extols value of agriculture Says it is key to economic growth and development during talk on Friday

By Stewart McClintic DAILY WILDCAT

Turki Faisal Al Rasheed, a UA alumnus from Saudi Arabia and chairman of Golden Grass Inc., professed his belief that agriculture is the key to economic growth during a talk on Friday in the Marley building.

“I’ve always had this theory that agriculture is the right tool,” he said. “All my wealth I made from agriculture.”

Al Rasheed said he believes agriculture is a way to help reduce the poverty line through investment. He also said he believes investments in local agriculture would help the economy by reducing food import costs and augmenting export production.

In his presentation, Al Rasheed said that the population of the world is predicted to reach 7 billion people by Halloween.

“The world needs a lot of food,” he said.

Kevin Fitzsimmons, director of international programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, said the Saudi Arabian government aims to invest

Grassroot efforts emerge in Libya Commuity leaders look to police populace in aftermath of revolution Mcclatchy tribune

TRIPOLI, Libya — Alarmed at the deadly arsenals piling up in ordinary Libyan neighborhoods, self-appointed community leaders in Tripoli have begun issuing their own gun licenses and, in some cases, conducting raids to retrieve land mines and rockets stored in private homes.

Qatar and other nations flooded Libya with arms during revolutionary forces’ six-month struggle to overthrow longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi.

And when the NATO-backed former rebels finally toppled the regime just over a month ago, weapons depots in newly liberated territories were left unguarded, flung open for anyone in the market for anti-aircraft guns, heatseeking rockets and mortar rounds.

Grassroots initiatives to register or confiscate arms from civilians and former rebels constitute the only real push to track the weapons because the National Transitional Council, the de facto ruling authority, is already overstretched with infighting over other security and political affairs.

The proliferation of loose weapons already has led to a spike in accidental civilian deaths and injuries, medical workers and human rights activists say.

And many Libyan community activists are worried that, if left unchecked, the

Sheikh Abdul Razak Msherab is a Libyan cleric whose mosque in Tripoli has begun issuing unofficial gun permits in order to control the flow of loose weapons that have proliferated since the uprising against now-former leader Moammar Gadhafi.

readily available arms could escalate a simmering power struggle between fighters from western cities and natives of the capital.

“After the fall of the regime, the weapons are everywhere,” said Sheikh Abdul Razak Msherab, a cleric whose Tripoli mosque has issued hundreds of unofficial gun permits to local residents in the past

month. “The arms are spreading like crazy and some fighters want to be in charge, or some tribes want to be in charge, so it’s very worrying. We had to do something.”

Similar efforts are cropping up in the eastern part of the country. The Benghazi-based Libyan Charity Organization, for example, has plans to transform its kitchens — where

teenage volunteers prepare more than 10,000 meals a day for front-line fighters — into receiving centers for a new cash-for-guns program once the battlefields have quieted.

“We have no government and we can’t just leave guns in the streets, so what else can we do? We want a peaceful Benghazi,” said Aiman Gadir, the prominent businessman who founded

the group. “We’re going to take all the weapons from people and turn them over to the local council.”

In Tripoli, neighborhood committees and religious groups in several districts are asking — and, at times, forcing — residents to register their weapons in exchange for homemade plastic badges that serve as gun permits at checkpoints set up by local men or former rebels who’ve returned from fighting.

Sometimes the groups act in coordination with semi-official military councils, but more often the efforts are overseen by individual community figures or militia commanders acting on requests from residents who are fed up with the sound of random shooting and fatal accidents involving children who stumble upon caches.

“We’re going to try to negotiate and take the weapons peacefully, but if they don’t give them up, we’ll just break into houses and confiscate them,” said Abdel Raouf Kara, the leader of a revolutionary brigade from the hard-hit neighborhood of Suq al Jumaa.

Kara produced a neatly organized ledger with more than 250 local residents’ names, and the serial numbers and types of weapons they had in their possession. They were allowed to keep light weapons such as handguns and hunting rifles, he said, but anything heavier would be confiscated and dispatched to revolutionary forces fighting Gadhafi loyalists in the last regime strongholds of Bani Walid and Sirte.

Jobs bill likely to fail despite push from Obama issues in voters’ minds,” said Darrell West, the director of governance studies at Washington’s Brookings Institution, a center-left research center.

The White House needed to rally the Democratic base — which is upset about this year’s two budget compromises and the August deficit-reduction deal, which cuts spending dramatically — behind a classic Democratic economic plan.

“The president is really laying down the gauntlet to Congress. If Congress doesn’t act, he’ll have a perfect campaign issue,” West figured.

Congress is unlikely to act.

House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson, D-Conn., formally introduced the legislation Sept. 21. So far, it has no House co-sponsors, though Democratic leaders say it has strong party support.

The Senate will turn Monday to the bipartisan currency bill, which would make it easier to penalize countries that keep the value of their currencies artificially low, notably China. Supporters maintain that the bill will help create more American jobs, since it would permit retaliatory tariffs on products from offending countries, making it easier for U.S. firms to compete.

President Barack Obama addresses a crowd at Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School in Columbus, Ohio, where he talked about his recent jobs bill proposal on Sept. 13.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia.

The president introduced his economic rescue plan to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 8, an unusual forum for launching such an initiative. Since then, he’s traveled the country and given interviews to local news media insisting on its quick approval.

The package includes aid for cities and towns, help for school and road construction projects, Social Security payroll tax cuts and assistance for the long-term unemployed. A series of tax increases, notably limiting tax deductions for the wealthy, would offset the cost of the measure.

Despite talk from GOP leaders that they hope to find common ground on jobs — talk that hasn’t resulted in any serious negotiations with Democrats — Republicans see opposing Obama as good politics.

“The Republicans have no stake in handing the president a victory in the next 12 months,” said Gary Jacobson, a congressional expert at the University of California San Diego.

Of course, Obama’s public campaign for his jobs bill is, in effect, the opening round of his re-election campaign.

S

Mcclatchy tribune

WASHINGTON — Congress is highly unlikely to approve the massive jobs package that President Barack Obama has been pushing relentlessly from coast to coast, day after day, for almost a month.

Republicans don’t like its proposed tax increases. Some Democrats are reluctant to endorse another cut in Social Security taxes; others are wary of oil and gas tax hikes. And Obama’s low approval ratings, the most dismal of his presidency, are making it hard for him to build any momentum.

When Capitol Hill lawmakers return Monday from a weeklong break, the first order of business in the Democratic-run Senate won’t be the president’s $447 billion jobs package — despite his daily demands to pass it now — but legislation dealing with Chinese currency manipulation.

“We’ll get to that,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said of the jobs plan, which he says he supports. “But let’s get some of these things done that we have to get done first.”

In the House of Representatives, the Republican majority won’t accept Obama’s proposed tax increases.

“I can’t really make sense of why the president thinks he should be doing this,” said

already a photo on the card, said Leanne Weigel, dining services supervisor of the Park Student Union.

“It’s scary to think of all the ID theft these days,” Weigel said.

“We want to safeguard against it,” Lupita Lopez, a retail manager at Retail Dining Service, said students she has come across have not complained about the new policy, but thanked her for it.

“They say, ‘Thank you for asking,’” she said, because students are generally more concerned about credit card theft than they are about having to show ID. In addition, campus restaurant employees said the new policy isn’t significantly slowing them down.

James Romine, an employee at the Park Avenue Market and a junior studying physics and mathematics, said the anti-theft measure hasn’t slowed him down “at all.”

“People are pleased we are taking action to keep their identities safe,” he said. “I haven’t gotten any complaints.”

Rachel Tilly, a cashier at the Park Student Union, said the checkout pace “goes the same,” despite the fact that she is checking more IDs now.

“A few people are asking why they now check IDs,” she said.

“As a cashier before, I’m used to checking for ID, so it doesn’t make me uncomfortable.”

Johnson added that this is the “perfect time” to purchase a meal plan, because the student’s picture is already on the CatCard itself.

in agriculture in other countries in a fair and sustainable way. He said the idea is to buy land in other countries and send the food back to the main country. This helps stimulate the local economy where the food came from, and the economy of the country who buys the land and imports the food they grow.

Although investing in local agriculture may help reduce the poverty line, Al Rasheed said there are limitations to what can be done. Al Rasheed’s focus is to reduce the security gap, improve the standard of living, conserve natural resources, distribute wealth and promote economic growth.

But to do so, Al Rasheed said there are a few obstacles that need to be overcome such as improving water optimization programs, establishing crops, and improving the country’s infrastructure.

He said that, although his knowledge and experience were based in Saudi Arabia, the same concepts can be applied to the U.S. and many other countries.

One major issue that Al Rasheed stressed is the search for water. He said 72 percent of the world’s total water consumption goes to agricultural practices every year.

Water is a huge issue and continues to be so for many countries, Al Rasheed said. To optimize water usage it is necessary to reduce agricultural subsidies, meter ground water levels and raise public awareness of water conservation, he said.

Women make up 51 percent of the American population, and yet only 17 percent serve in Congress, according to the film. It adds that over the course of American history, only 34 women have served as governors.

According to “Miss Representation,” media play a central role in keeping these numbers low by enforcing rigid, onedimensional gender norms.

“The gender norm is that men bury down their emotions and that women overly express them,” said Laura Neff, an environmental science junior and intern with the UA’s Women’s Resource Center.

“Or if women do tend to express emotion, it’s because of something biological; they’re not in their right mind.”

she said. “I think the students worked really hard to refine their applications and we have a process of faculty interviewing and mentoring to help students create the best possible application for students to submit.”

Frank Cernik, a recent UA graduate in English and creative writing, is one of the students who was awarded a Fulbright scholarship in the form of a grant. He is living in South Korea teaching English to children.

Cernik said he was inspired to apply for a Fulbright after becoming interested in Korean culture through its cinema.

“I applied in October, heard that I’d made the first cut in January, found out I’d gotten the grant in April, and left in July,” Cernik said. “This grant is a culmination of a lot of previously disparate things for me, and it’s changing the direction I thought my life was going.”

Cernik said receiving the Fulbright scholarship has provided him with the

“There’s a lot of hope right now in cancer, in melanoma treatment, therapy treatment … that didn’t exist five years ago,” Sedlmayr-Emerson said. “I have stage four cancer but I’m thriving.”

In the United States, there have been an estimated 8,790 melanoma deaths, according to the National Cancer Institute.

In addition, there are about 70,230 cases nationwide.

“It’s so important to catch it early because it will spread so quickly,” Hiscox said. “People don’t realize that melanoma takes lives.”

Hiscox said patients like that this walk benefits their disease specifically. Some patients have been battling with melanoma for years but still come to the event to show that there’s still hope and “it’s very inspiring, that’s for sure,” she said.

“It’s a great way to involve supporting melanoma awareness and those people that have been touched by melanoma,” Hiscox said.

strong, independent and powerful. Male politicians and newscasters, it adds, tend to belittle female public figures and focus on their appearance and sex appeal rather than their accomplishments.

American culture starts conditioning girls to perceive themselves as sex objects rather than leaders at a very young age, according to Caryl Flinn, head of the gender and women’s studies department.

“A lot of the things that are going on right now like the tiara toddlers and the baby Miss America things, I mean it’s kind of … it’s laughable and creepy at the same time,” she said.

According to the film, the media not only damage women; they damage men, too. Boys are bombarded by images of powerful, successful men who do not show emotion or weakness, “Miss Representation” says, and in turn, boys grow up “emotionally constipated” and afraid to show vulnerability.

By exposing the damaging effects of media on both men and women in

American society, “Miss Representation” hopes to change not only how Americans perceive media messages, but how they perceive themselves.

“I think by calling out some of these norms and saying these norms don’t have to be there, it doesn’t have to be like that, we can have other ways of producing images of femininities and women in mass media without resorting to the same old stale cliches,” Flinn said.

According to Jean Kilbourne, a filmmaker, author and activist who spoke after the film, addressing this issue starts with education.

“We need to teach media literacy in our schools,” she said. “We are the only nation in the world who doesn’t do that.”

Jose Martinez, who moved to Tucson recently from New Mexico, said he thought the documentary’s message was that the media wields too much power in America.

“I’ve had a lot of strong role models, and they’re women,” Martinez said. “I’m very proud of that.”

opportunity to be engaged in a place he wanted to go to and is now spending his time traveling around the country and educating others.

“Since being here (in Korea) I’ve gotten lost in a number of places, and there is absolutely no better way to get to know a place,” Cernik said. “Grab a bike, hop on a bus, stick out your thumb, whatever, just go somewhere you don’t expect and see what you can figure. And teaching is an excellent experience. I love all of my kids, and no matter what my night is like, I can always expect to walk into my class and smile again.”

Aubri Carman, a biology senior, is one of 55 students who are applying this year for a Fulbright scholarship. If she receives the award, Carman will travel to Zimbabwe to work with Grassroots Soccer, an organization that uses the sport to facilitate HIV education.

“I like traveling and I had heard you could pick where you wanted to go and draw up a proposal of what you wanted to do,” Carman said. “That was super exciting to me as a way to go to some

country that I really wanted to get to, I don’t anticipate ever having a chance to live in Africa again.”

Carman said if she receives the scholarship, she will defer her plans to go to medical school for a year while she is in Africa. The decision is one all winners of the scholarship had to make when planning what to do after gradation or with their graduate studies.

“Applying for the Fulbright scholarship has made me realize I want something more than then a clinical practice.”

Carman said. “I want an experience before I go to medical school and before I commit myself to at least eight more years of school and training.”

Though the application process for this year is coming to an end, Walter recommends students interested in the scholarship to begin planning now for the next year.

“Start thinking ahead to where you might like to go and what kind of project you might like to do.” Walter said. “And if you start thinking along those lines we can help with the parliamentary steps so you will be ready to apply next fall.”

Nobody owes you a thing Joshua Segall Daily Wildcat

T

he word entitlement can best be defined as “granting somebody the right to have or to do something.” Over the past few decades, Americans have become overwhelmingly accustomed to entitlements like never before. We have adopted the idea that we are owed and that we deserve something, if not everything. We have embraced this idea that we are owed things like health care, higher education, tax breaks and subsidies under our government.

This idea most likely begins in the home.

It is safe to say that most parents want more for their children than what they had when they were a child. Unknowingly, they send the message to their kids that their children deserve more. Most of us see this sense of entitlement with friends or people “The children we interact with that grow up on a regular with a sense basis. We all know someone of entitlement who thinks that evolve into their parents many of the owe them the citizens in our latest gadgets, society that a new car or burden it. This even a college is where ideas education.

Society of healthcare, continues to send tax breaks and us a message that subsidies come we should not into focus.” be denied. This inevitably carries over into many college classes. Some students expect professors to make special concessions for them because their previous teachers in high school did so.

They often feel entitled to extensions on papers and extra credit. Some believe the college or university owes them simply because they pay tuition, and some even believe that they are flat out owed a college education on somebody else’s dime. What happened to the notion that working hard for the things we want is what will make us appreciate them that much more?

The children who grow up with a sense of entitlement evolve into many of the citizens in our society that burden it. This is where ideas of health care, tax breaks and subsidies come into focus.

Today our government spends a record amount of money each year on these “privileges.”

Each year, taxpayers spend billions of dollars on programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. There are tax breaks for homeowners, subsidies for farmers and funding for housing and food. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that, this year, taxpayers will spend roughly $562.8 billion on Medicare alone. Add another $252.5 billion for Medicaid and one can see where we are headed. This doesn’t include Social Security benefits or President Barack Obama’s new health care law.

Americans have grown to believe that the government is responsible for almost every facet of our lives. As citizens we have let the government grow bigger because we expect more from them. The government is so big that it consists of almost 40 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. Today we have almost 40 million people living on government-issued food stamps. The government is paying off people’s personal mortgages, bailing out large corporations like AIG and Solyndra, and it controls all student loans for higher education rather than allowing private firms to offer financial support.

Because we are so focused on our tunnel vision of entitlements, we have put ourselves in a very precarious situation. We are more than $14 trillion in debt. We are in a national crisis and we have no choice but to cut the spending on some of these entitlements.

The government has forgotten its sole responsibility to protect its citizens. Instead, it is trying to make us dependent on it. The blatant truth is that taxpayers (who fund the government) should not be responsible for making sure everyone has the same equalities.

It is not the job of the taxpayer, but the job of the individual. The government should strive to teach people the tools and skills necessary for its citizens to take care of themselves, not automatically assume that we want or need certain things.

Americans need to wake up and realize that nobody owes them anything. We are protected under the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It’s nobody else’s job but our own to take care of ourselves. If we want more, it is up to us as individuals to go out and earn it.

Alabama immigration law undermines education Kristina Bui Daily Wildcat

T

he latest attempt to legislate the national immigration debate has Alabama’s Hispanic families hiding their kids from the school districts.

Local and state officials in Alabama have begun pleading with immigrant families, asking them to continue sending their children to class in the wake of a court ruling that upheld a strict state law intended to crack down on illegal immigration.

On Thursday, the superintendent of Huntsville City Schools, Casey Wardynski, appeared on a Spanish-speaking TV show.

In stilted Spanish, Wardynski insisted police would not be involved and urged families to stay put so that the state could compile statistics.

“In the case of this law, our students do not have anything to fear,” he said.

One section of the law requires elementary and secondary schools to determine the immigration status of incoming students. It was challenged by opponents who thought it would discourage parents from enrolling their children, even if it did not explicitly ban them from doing so.

Alabama’s law is one of the most farreaching of any other state’s. It even outdoes Arizona’s SB 1070 by requiring state and local law enforcement to verify the immigration status of anyone detained in a routine traffic stop or arrest if there is a “reasonable suspicion” that the person is in the U.S. illegally.

On Wednesday, the Alabama court ruled on three suits brought against the law by a group of church leaders, civil rights groups and the federal government. The Obama administration began filing paperwork on Friday to appeal the court’s upholding of the law.

Republicans passed the Alabama bill after winning a supermajority in the state Legislature in 2010, the same year in which they pledged to crack down on illegal immigration. Although Alabama likely has a relatively small illegal immigrant population, it is increasing (even though it’s in Alabama, of all states).

There are no firm statistics yet, but last week’s attendance rates are a troubling sign of how much fear the law has put into Alabama’s Hispanic community.

In Montgomery County, more than 200 Hispanic students were absent the morning after Wednesday’s court ruling, according to an article by the Associated Press. Schools across the state reported sudden, significant drops in Hispanic attendance, and many officials have said students are withdrawing or have told teachers they plan to withdraw.

Alabama distributed a sample letter to schools to be sent to parents of new students.

The letter tells parents that they should “Rest assured that it will not be a problem if you are unable or unwilling to provide either of the documents.” It also tells parents that the information gathered will only be used to

compile statistics, not make arrests.

The law does not apply to students who were enrolled in school before Sept. 1. It also does not require proof of citizenship to enroll, though school systems are supposed to begin checking the status of first-time enrolling students.

Officials say neither students nor parents will be arrested and that the law does not ban anyone from attending school. They’re asking Hispanic families to keep children enrolled and attending.

The court’s ruling on Wednesday upholding most of Alabama’s law is a clear victory for anti-immigration supporters, but the reaction of Hispanic parents can’t be ignored.

The law uses fear to deter Alabama’s Hispanic population from education, even if officials try to claim otherwise. Public and secondary education is a protected constitutional right, but immigrant parents will fear being traced. The verbal equivalent of a pinky promise not to arrest anyone won’t soothe these fears.

Furthermore, here’s a fun fact: The law was sponsored by Republican state Sen. Scott Beason, who also advised Republicans in February to “empty the clip and do what has to be done” about illegal immigration.

Beason later said his comments were taken out of context and that he was only using an analogy, but the not-so-subtle message of violence against immigrants should make everyone uncomfortable.

It’s not the immigrants who will “destroy a community,” like Beason claims they will. It’s legislators like Beason, and court decisions like Wednesday’s, that will.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

She’s got a little in her A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday in response to a report of an intoxicated woman. When the officer arrived, Tucson Fire Department medics were on scene treating a woman for a swelling cut above her left eye. The woman was crying and kept repeating, “I don’t want a minor, I don’t want my dad to find out.” The woman said she had an unknown number of mixed drinks and thought some of them contained Captain Morgan rum and vodka. She would not say where she was or who provided the alcohol. Friends of hers had helped her back to her dorm, but she got the cut when she tripped on the stairs and fell face-first, she said. The woman argued with the medics because she did not want to go to the hospital. The officer cited her for minor in possession and she was referred to the Dean of Students office. TFD medics transported the woman to University Medical Center-University Campus.

Breakin’ doorknobs A UAPD officer went to Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity in response to an attempted burglary at 9 a.m. on Wednesday. The officer met with the house manager who said it appeared that someone had tried to break into the house through the double doors on the south side of the property sometime overnight.

The door handle had been ripped off of the door. The manager found the handle outside and brought it into the house. He said he had not heard anything suspicious through the night, but had not spoken to any of the house members before contacting police. The manager said he did not yet know if anything was stolen or missing from the house. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

The officer spoke to the employee, who said he noticed the window while doing routine checks in the garage. PTS dispatch called the owner of the truck and left a message. There was a black plastic case on the railing of the bed of the truck with the latches open, but the case closed. It appeared to be a gun case. The officers photographed the damage to the truck. A few minutes later, the owner of the truck arrived. The man said he last saw his truck around noon on Sept. 26. He informed police that the black case contained a clarinet, which was still inside it. The owner filled out victim’s rights forms. There is no further information.

‘Write love,’ rewrite life To Write Love on Her Arms campus chapter starts with optimistic first semester

By Joe Dusbabek Two students, Gina Weisman and Natalia Guzman, are trying to bring a bit of hope to campus by starting a UA chapter of the national non-profit organization To Write Love on Her Arms, one of the largest anti-depression and anti-suicide organizations in the country.

The organization began in Orlando, Fla., in February 2006, as a written story that followed the original organizers’ friend’s five-day journey after being denied a place in a rehabilitation center.

The name comes from the title of the story. T-shirts with the slogan were sold to try and pay for their friend’s drug treatment.

But now To Write Love on Her Arms has spread across the country — and around Arizona and its colleges.

“NAU (Northern Arizona University) and ASU (Arizona State University) already had branches of To Write Love on Her Arms for several years now and we were both wondering why the UA didn’t have one yet,” said Weisman, a sophomore studying family studies and human development.

Guzman, an anthropology junior, said clubs like To Write Love on Her Arms are necessary to provide support to students.

“Anywhere in the world, you’re going to find someone who’s depressed or hurting

Daily Wildcat

and needs counseling or needs someone to talk to,” Guzman said. “We’re trying really hard to get everyone to realize that pretty much everyone has gone through things like this. Even though it’s sunny 300 days of the year, people still need help.”

Around 121 million people worldwide suffer from depression, with 18 million of those cases occurring in the U.S., according to the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Mental Health. Two-thirds of those suffering never seek treatment.

In Campus Health Service’s 2011 Health and Wellness survey, 6 percent of students responded they had “serious thoughts” about suicide during the school year.

Chapters of To Write Love on Her Arms offer students the counseling the initial group of organizers offered their friend, but through more organized means.

While the UA chapter doesn’t offer its own professional counseling, it has grassroots outreach events planned and fundraisers to help raise awareness.

“We’re not professionals, but that doesn’t mean that people who need one shouldn’t go see one. That’s what we’re here for, to help people in need feel like it’s OK,” Weisman said.

With To Write Love on Her Arms

chapters spreading rapidly across the country, Weisman and Guzman understand the particular need on university campuses for social outreach and awareness groups.

“We want to do awareness events with CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services), as well as some statewide events with the NAU and ASU chapters in the future,” Guzman said.

This coincides with a three-year grant, totaling more than $300,000, which Campus Health got from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to expand current and introduce new suicide-prevention services.

Weisman said this is a necessary addition.

“A lot of time on a college campus, these are issues that people don’t want to talk about,” Weisman said. “They are coming from out of state, or they don’t know anyone and feel alone. It’s just a good topic to make sure people know it’s all normal and OK to talk about.”

Guzman agreed.

“Sometimes, it’s just the little things,” Guzman said. “When people give you a smile or make an effort, it can make all the difference in the world. That’s what we’re after.”

If You Go

Grade: B

Don’t you ever confuse Ryan Adams with the ‘80s pop icon of a similar name; unlike his oftmistaken counterpart, David Ryan Adams has consistently produced some of the most well-composed modern classic albums of the indie underworld over the past 11 years.

From his alt-country roots in 2000’s Heartbreaker to the jangly pop of Love Is Hell up through the stripped acoustic pieces that dot Easy Tiger, Adams is the quintessential songwriter of our generation, much in the vein of Jim Croce, Tom Petty, or David Gilmour, with just a bit more prolific flair.

Acquaint yourself.

for its grassroots hit “To Be Young (Is to Be Sad, Is to Be High,)” but “Shakedown” is a gem often overlooked. Adams’ deftly covers many facets with his songwriting, and this cut alone shows he can take a listener back to what feels like the ’50s with dry, reverb-laden guitar, heavily rhythmic drumming, and lyrics replete with a socs-andgreasers theme. If you don’t want to move your hips to this, you’re probably dead.

“New York, New York,” from 2001’s Gold

Much more than a tribute to Adams’ love for the iconic city, this cornerstone to his second solo venture is better known for the video that accompanies it: shot just four days before the 2001 attack on the twin towers, the video shows Adams playing the song on an acoustic guitar across the water from the towers. It’s on this track that Adams seems to start to develop his incredibly immersive imagery, spinning his songwriting into art.

“Shakedown on 9th Street,” from 2000’s Heartbreaker Fans of Adams know this album

Photo Courtesy of Billboard.com

“Wonderwall,” from 2004’s Love Is Hell

It’s a true challenge trying to highlight a singular track from this split album. It’s one of those masterpieces that can be listened to in its entirety without even hinting at needing a fast forward. Adams’ cover of Oasis’ “Wonderwall” is a real highlight, however, transforming the ever-familiar original into a haunting, gorgeous track of which Noel Gallagher (of

Oasis) has been noted as being a fan of more than his own original.

“Anybody Wanna Take Me Home,” from 2003’s Rock N Roll

Adams goes electric; the theme of Rock N Roll is driving, distorted guitars, layered heavily, and frenetically strummed. “Anybody” is the departure halfway through the album, slowing tempo, cleaning up the production, and finds Adams crooning over delayed arpeggios about being the odd man alone at the end of a long night.

If you can spring for the longer, Japan-only version, do it; you’re not going to want the instrumentation to end.

“Oh My God, Whatever, Etc.,” from 2007’s Easy Tiger

A simple acoustic piece, Adams’ lyrical prowess shines bright on this track about a simpler man’s life and his want to disappear. Despite the seemingly odd character choice in the song, listeners can’t help but to relate, and this fact alone is what makes Adams a master at his craft; the most insolent critic can find solace in the commiseration that is painted in these beautifully concise tunes.

Be on the lookout for Adams’ newest release, Ashes and Fire, on Oct. 11 nationwide.

Arizona defense throttled

by Trojans in Los Angeles

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

LOS ANGELES — Excuses are no longer valid.

Arizona’s defensive unit would have been burned by Washington State or Colorado with the way it played Saturday afternoon. USC isn’t Oregon, Stanford or Oklahoma State.

Matt Barkley is no Andrew Luck.

Robert Woods is no Justin Blackmon.

But that didn’t matter to Arizona on Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum where a good-not-great USC team scored 48 points on 582 yards, both season highs, in the 48-41 victory against the Wildcats.

“We just couldn’t get off the field on third down. We gave up big plays too,” said frustrated defensive coordinator Tim Kish. “We’re still not in a position where we made any negative plays. That’s not going to bode well over the course of a game.”

The Wildcats (1-4, 0-3 Pac-12) couldn’t force even one USC punt.

The Trojans scored on every drive but three, and two of those drives came in the final minutes with the game out of reach. It’s time to face the facts: Arizona’s defense is flat-out bad — one of the worst in the NCAA. “Defense continues to be our issue,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “Our inability to stop them, just periodically — not consistently — just periodically, would give us a chance. We lack playmakers. Right now we are just young and inexperienced up front with our defensive line and linebackers.”

The numbers don’t lie.

In its past four games, Arizona’s given up 564.8 yards per game. If stretched over five games, that would make them the worst defensive team

Daily Wildcat

LOS ANGELES — As far as Pac-12 quarterback and receiver connections go, Nick Foles and Juron Criner were definitely the premier duo coming into the season.

With Criner coming off a 2010 campaign during which he caught 82 receptions for 1,233 yards and 11 touchdowns, and with Foles’ ability to throw the deep ball so well, it was just assumed that hookup would be more fierce this season.

At the end of Saturday’s 48-41 loss to USC, however, Criner’s abilities looked circumstantial compared to the monster game of USC receiver Robert Woods.

Woods’ chemistry with quarterback Matt Barkley is now drawing the hype that Foles and Criner used to receive.

“We decided to have Matt throw the ball a lot and he was comfortable with that,” USC head coach Lane Kiffin said. “Our pass protections really held up well today.

We did better in areas that were exposed last weekend.”

By game’s end, the two opposing quarterback-to-receiver stats were at different ends of the spectrum.

Woods caught 14 balls for a career-high 255 yards and two

Daily Wildcat

keeper David Herman twice, giving ASU the victory.

“We made big strides this weekend from where we were last year,” Herman said. “We especially made huge strides from our first game to our second.

“I think we’ve shown we can compete with any team in the country this weekend.”

Herman had 62 saves Saturday, allowing the team to fight back after the early deficit and tie the game. He also had 39 saves Friday.

“Herman played unbelievable tonight,” Hogan said Saturday. “He did a great job for us.”

The UA’s performance Saturday was even more impressive considering star player and captain Brian Slugocki suffered a chest contusion early in the game Friday, missing the remainder of that game and the entire game Saturday.

After picking up losses number 17

LOS ANGELES — The history of USC football oozes from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum walls.

Six retired jerseys — Mike Garrett, OJ Simpson, Charles White, Marcus Allen, Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart — watch over the Trojans every Saturday as USC takes to the same field that 11 national championship teams played on before them.

472 NFL draft picks made a name for themselves at USC. 162 Pro Bowlers got their start at the Coliseum.

USC’s mascot, Traveler the white horse, is one of the most recognizable symbols in college football. The Trojan band is a historical staple in not only USC football, but also collegiate athletics as a whole.

Since 1923, USC has built a history in that very building that, despite the negative reputation that’s developed in recent years, will stand the test of time.

Arizona is still working to build that history.

As of now, the Wildcats don’t even have a starting point.

Athletic director Greg Byrne is working tirelessly to make Arizona a legitimate football school. Between the mammoth video board and Arizona’s soon-to-be-expanded practice facilities, the pieces are in place for exponential growth.

The Wildcats have been on national television more than ever before and positive exposure is Arizona’s for the taking.

But the most important piece of the puzzle is missing: winning.

After USC torched the defenseless Wildcats for 48 points on 582 total yards Saturday, Arizona’s losing streak to FBS schools extended to nine.

It’s been almost a year since the UA won its last game against a legitimate opponent, and even that win came against sub-par UCLA. During this epic losing streak, Arizona’s given up 43.8 points per game and 487.6 total yards per contest. During that stretch, the Wildcats have lost by an average margin of 21.4 points, with eight of the nine games coming on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. The Wildcats’ three consecutive bowl games (2008-2010) seemed to be the perfect starting point to build off of, but so far this season, Arizona is regressing.

Arizona would have to defeat five out of their six remaining opponents, which includes Oregon State, UCLA, Washington, Utah, Colorado and Louisiana-Lafayette, to be bowleligible. While that is certainly doable, it’s a lot to ask of a team that hasn’t won a Division I game since Oct. 30, 2010.

In a matter of nine games, the Wildcats have gone from a possible Rose Bowl contender to one of the nation’s worst defenses and a program fighting a wave of irrelevance.

And 2011 was supposed to be the time for Arizona to build on its past success.

Nick Foles, who may go down as the best quarterback in Arizona history, has only seven games left in cardinal and navy, pending a bowl game.

The same goes for stud receiver Juron Criner. Defensive backs Trevin Wade and Robert Golden and linebackers Paul Vassallo and Derek Earls will also be gone.

Sure the program has chances for success in the future, because of both facilities and personnel. With his SEC background, Byrne is dedicated to doing everything possible, from a financial standpoint, to make the Arizona football team an annual contender.

As Foles said after the USC loss, Ka’Deem Carey has a chance to be one of the best running backs in Arizona history. Austin Hill looks like a young Criner. The offensive line has a bright future.

Quarterback Matt Scott has been chomping at the bit for a full season as a starter, and the senior should give Arizona a legitimate chance to win every Saturday in 2012.

Arizona’s defense struggles to bring down a USC player in the Wildcats’ 48-41 loss to the Trojans in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Now on a four-game losing streak, the UA is in the bottom 10 in the FBS in a number of defensive categories.

294.0 yards per game • 112th in scoring defense giving up 37.6 points per game • 116th in pass efficiency defense giving up a 73.97 completion percentage • 116th in turnovers gained, forcing only three turnovers • 115th in sacks with only five on

There are only 120 FBS schools.

LOS ANGELES — Until Saturday’s game against the USC Trojans, the Arizona Wildcats’ offense was proving to be one-dimensional. That one dimension was Nick Foles’ arm.

The senior quarterback is second in the nation with 1,872 passing yards and has thrown for 14 touchdowns in the first five games of the season, but complementing the passing numbers, the Wildcats are averaging 75.6 rushing yards per game, a frightening average that ranks 116th out of 120 FBS schools.

But the one positive out of Arizona’s 48-41 loss to the USC Trojans in Los

Angeles was the run game. Something started to click for the Wildcats, who ran for a season-high 129 yards.

“We just knew our running game would get going,” Arizona running backs coach Garret Chachere said.

“We have a young line and we knew once that line got clicking and once we started sticking with the run we could run the ball on a lot of people.

“When we can create some seams and some holes those guys can do some damage.”

It was finally a situation where the Wildcats could use the run to set up the play-action, which was something

Hockey shows fight, loses to ASU

By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat

After 17 straight losses to No 9 ASU, the No. 22 Arizona hockey team was just a shootout away from finally ending the streak. ­ However, fate was still not on their side, and once Colin Hekle converted the game-winning penalty shot for the Sun Devils, the UA left Tempe with yet another defeat at the hands of its rival.

The Wildcats, who lost 6-3 Friday night and 2-1 in penalties after a 2-2 tie in regulation Saturday, came away from the first weekend of the season with only a point to show in the standings, but the end results didn’t leave the team in dismay.

“It’s a tough way to lose, but, you know, I’m proud of these guys,” head coach Sean Hogan said after the loss on Saturday night. “We got exponentially better from game one to game two. You see the learning process; you see we are getting better.”

the gap with a goal by sophomore defenseman Mike Basist, making it 4-3. However, the Sun Devils continued to put the puck in the net, finishing with a comfortable 6-3 victory.

“We just didn’t play well in our first game,” Hogan said. “We had first-game jitters and a couple turnovers lead to goals. We ended up losing a game that we didn’t play well in.”

It looked like ASU was picking up right where it left off Saturday, jumping out to an early 2-0 lead.

However, the Wildcats cut the lead in half midway through the second period with a goal by freshman forward Michael Ferreira. Then, sophomore forward Andrew Murmes evened the game with just 6:03 left in regulation.

After killing off an early power play in overtime, the Wildcats sent the game into shootouts. Freshman defenseman Shane Gleason converted his shootout opportunity, but the Sun Devils were able to beat goal-

horoscopes Today’s birthday: You’re a true leader (even if you don’t think so). Take one step at a time, with relationships, romance and even finances. Like a good wine, you’re getting better with age, but beware of letting resignation make you bitter. Acceptance and a sense of humor keep you mellow and fine.

Aries — Today is an 8 — Your ideas flow Leo with ease. Take notes (with pictures).

Make a list with the obvious steps to realize the most tantalizing dreams first. Take the first step.

Taurus — Today is a 7 — Conditions

for long-distance travel improve. Check your lists twice. Be sure that your tires are properly inflated, and the oil level’s fine … then, green light, go!

Gemini — Today is a 7 — Staying

busy may be the best way to stay out of trouble today. Take a deep breath and think before making important decisions.

Don’t use big words. Keep it simple.

— Today is an 8 — Don’t let this busy Monday get on your nerves, or your health could suffer. Get plenty of rest. Take breaks from the screen and stretch regularly. Take one task at a time.

concepts won’t work, but try them anyway.

Failure refines the process, adding velocity for success. A startling revelation provokes change. Go out and play later.

time to make changes at home. Keep a positive attitude, and play it like a game that you mean to win but don’t mind losing. Then go ahead and win.

guage skills accelerate getting your message across. Continue to study the subject you’re teaching. Focus on your favorite angle, and learn as much as you can.

existing promises first, and consider before committing to new ones. Clarify your schedule and direction with friends.

A change in their plans could affect yours.

Pisces — Today is an 8 — Destruction

What about your house? Did it thank you? Did it pant?

Sadly, it did not.

What a bummer. What if the world was made of other worlds combined to make a world just like this one?

Would it be a separate world, or would it have combined with the one we are previously on?

Let’s go with the latter.

This is a ridiculously hard question.

Libra — Today is a 7 — Now’s the best Aquarius — Today is an 8 — Keep

Cancer — Today is a 6 — You’re enter- Scorpio — Today is a 9 — Great laning a negotiation phase. Work behind the scenes when needed, and beware of sudden changes. Choose your partners wisely for different roles.

Sagittarius — Today is a 9 — Making

Did your dogs express their gratitude?

If by gratitude, you mean excessive amounts of panting, then yes. Much gratitude.

• At an IQ of 155, beluga whales would qualify as a genius if they were human.

• Because their meat is bitter, beluga whales are not hunted nor endangered.

• In rare cases, belugas will attack humans.

USC quarterback Matt Barkley broke the school record for single-game passing yards, becoming the second player in as many games to break a school record against the Wildcats after Oregon running back LaMichael James rushed for a program-best 288 yards.

Barkley completed 32-of39 passes for 468 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. He was the benefactor of zero pass rush and an inept Arizona secondary that made the junior quarterback look like the Heisman frontrunner. “It’s very frustrating and disappointing,� said senior safety Robert Golden. “I just feel like the secondary didn’t step up to the challenge. Players just got to go make plays. We have great coaches that are teaching us the best they can.

They’re giving us everything

points late in the game.

Woods’ impact was immediate. His first grab came on a screen pass from Barkley that he was able to turn into an 82-yard touchdown play. “Matt’s putting the ball on the money, on point, every time,� Woods said. “He’s making it really easy on us because he puts it right where it needs to be.�

From there it didn’t stop for Woods.

Criner on the other hand was unable to shake his coverage for most of the game, forcing Foles to utilize other guys like Dan Buckner, David Douglas, and Austin Hill. “We wanted to make sure that their great receivers

will combine to be one of the most physical safety duos in the country.

we need to know as far as scouting reports, details and everything.�

The Wildcats knew sophomore wide receiver Robert Woods was the focal point of the USC offense and on the second play from scrimmage, he took a screen pass 82 yards to the house. Woods knifed through the Arizona defense and fell five yards short of breaking the school-record for receiving yards in a game, finishing with 14 catches for 255 yards or 18.2 yards per catch. “He tore our zone up, man,� said cornerback Shaquille Richardson, who picked off Barkley in the third quarter but was burned consistently.

That’s been the theme of Arizona’s season so far. The Wildcats haven’t been able to stop any of their opponents, and they once again failed to come out with any fire as USC led 17-0 at the end of the first quarter. Arizona has now been outscored 55-3 in its last four first quarters.

“The sand is running out of the hourglass and then also you don’t have as many possessions left,� said running backs coach Garret Chachere. “We have to start from the beginning and get going.�

Arizona tried Jowyn Ward at defensive tackle and freshman Hank Hobson at linebacker, but the same sorry Wildcats defense showed up.

Safety Adam Hall and linebacker Jake Fischer should help considerably when they return — possibly next week at Oregon State — but it remains to be seen how they’ll react from the ACL injuries. The Wildcats defense needs help, and neither Tedy Bruschi nor Antoine Cason are going to come walking through the door. “We’re going to re-evaluate where everyone’s at,� Kish said. “We’ve got what we got.

We’ve got to dig deep and reach down and pull it out of ourselves because there’s no free agency in this market.�

didn’t get big plays against us.� Kiffin said.

Foles’ numbers remained constant with the rest of his season so far. Aside from the two interceptions, his first of the season, he threw for 425 yards and four touchdowns.

However, there aren’t any answers for what’s going on with Criner’s lack of productivity.

An appendectomy that made him miss the Oklahoma State contest certainly didn’t help, but he showed flashes of his former self against Oregon when he hauled in 96 yards on nine catches.

All indications were pointed to Criner posting more than 100 yards against USC after he tallied 98 receiving yards last year against the Trojans in Tucson.

Maybe he just couldn’t get past USC cornerback Nickell Robey, but it got to the point where Foles stopped looking for him entirely.

A lot of the time he just wasn’t open.

Criner is still a top-tier receiver and will be taken with a high pick in the NFL Draft next April. And his quiet outing wasn’t to blame for the loss, of course. The Wildcats’ have problems across the board, and Foles said there’s one answer that’s easy to say, but difficult to do. “We’ve got to stick together, it’s as simple as that,� he said. “You can’t just give up.

It’s early in the year. Our record’s not what we want it to be, but you know what?

We can change that. We’ve got to get back to work.�

But as of now, Arizona can’t aren’t even a good football buy a win.

We get great SexTalk questions from UA students each week! Here are the answers to some of your most common questions: What STDs are 100% curable?

Most STDs are curable except for the viral ones. Examples of curable STDs are bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, syphilis, crabs, and scabies. You can cure them with medication, but you can also get re-infected.

semen (including pre-ejaculate), breast milk, and vaginal secretions.

What is the most common STD at the UA? Chlamydia, followed by herpes and HPV.

Can you get an STD from oral sex?

Yes. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, HPV, and HIV can all be transmitted through oral sex. Using a flavored condom or latex dam is a great way to reduce your risk.

Do you need a pap smear if you’re not sexually active?

It is recommended by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists that females get a pap smear within three years of the first time they have sex, or at age 21 – whichever comes first – and at least every three years after that.

Can you get pregnant from pre-cum?

Possibly. There is a chance pre-ejaculate may contain a small amount of sperm. STDs and HIV can also be present in pre-cum.

Can you contract AIDS from any bodily fluid?

No. The only fluids you can contract HIV (the virus that becomes AIDS) from are: blood,

How many sperm are ejaculated in one load?

In a typical ejaculate, an average healthy male will release 200-600 million sperm. However, only one sperm will successfully complete the challenging journey to fertilize an egg.

Does double wrapping work?

No. You only need to use one condom consistently and correctly every time you have sex to reduce your risks of STDs and unintended pregnancy.

Volleyball falters against top-10 teams Wildcats drop to 10-5 in losses to California Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinal

By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat

ily Perfetti / Da

nKeith Hickma Wildcat senior Courtney Karst

Inconsistency was the reason behind both of Arizona’s (10-5, 2-4) losses to No. 6 Stanford 3-1 (2521, 23-25, 25-15, 25-18) and No. 4 California 3-0 (25-21, 25-19, 25-21) this weekend in the Bay Area.

“We’re just not able to sustain a level of consistency long enough to win a match,” head coach Dave Rubio said after the Wildcats’ loss to Stanford on Sunday. “We can do it for a game or two, but if we’re going to beat these teams, then we have to be better throughout all three games, not just for a game and a half.”

Soccer ties Buffs, falls to Utah Utes

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

After their second tie and ninth loss of the season this weekend, the Arizona soccer team now finds itself without a win as it passes the midpoint of the season.

On Friday, the Wildcats tied Colorado 2-2 in a hard-fought game in Boulder, Colo., after both teams were unable to score in either of the two overtime periods. The game on Sunday afternoon was not as close, however, as the Wildcats fell to Utah 3-1 in Salt Lake City.

Juniors Susana Melendez and Jessica Culver scored the two goals on Friday, while sophomore Ana-Maria Montoya scored Arizona’s only goal in Sunday’s loss.

At 0-9-2, all hope would seem to be lost, but head coach Lisa Oyen insisted the team has not given up.

“You know they’re very competitive

and they fight back, they always will that’s just their makeup, and I’m really proud of them for that. Their motivation is still to try and win some games this year,” Oyen said.

Although the team was unable to come out of the weekend with any victories, the Wildcats were able to do something this weekend that they have struggled to do all season long: score goals. After scoring only two goals in their previous nine games, the team scored three this weekend. That clearly wasn’t enough, however, and Oyen pointed out that the team has struggled with their decision-making. “(The team) has to make better decisions in the second half keeping the ball. They’re playing a little bit differently because of all the injuries, and I think they wanted to put in the physical work because it was a physical game (against Utah),” Oyen said. “We just have to play a little smarter.”

On Sunday, the Wildcats won their first and only set of the weekend against the Cardinal, forcing the match to go into four games.

Arizona outside hitter and go-to player Madison Kingdon turned her ankle before the match, hindering the Wildcats’ offense. The freshman still went on to compete in the match, but wasn’t at 100 percent, Rubio said.

Despite the team’s second consecutive loss and Kingdon’s injury, Rubio did take away some positives from the match.

“I’m frustrated, because we weren’t at full speed and yet I felt we competed well,” Rubio said.

“We really battled well, and it’s apparent that we’re very close to being in the top half of the conference. I’m encouraged, and we just have to keep getting better.”

Senior captains Courtney Karst and Cursty Jackson were the lead point scorers for the Wildcats with 21 kills and 15 kills, respectively.

“Courtney has been great, Cursty has been great, we’ve been getting such good leadership out of those guys,” Rubio said. “They put their hearts and souls into every single match.”

Karst noticed the team’s habit of getting stuck.

“It’s a tough loss considering how high our confidence was when the match started, but I think we just didn’t push at the right times,” Karst said. “We had a big team meeting last night about playing for each other and having each other’s backs, and that really helped.”

Against the Golden Bears on Friday, the Wildcats came close to winning in each of the three games.

“It was the same type of deal (as Stanford),” Rubio said, “Game 2 and Game 3 were really close and with 20-20 in Game 1, we just couldn’t do it.

“Our serving and passing need to

be really on for us to do well offensively,” he added. “When we don’t pass the ball that well, then we’re going to struggle. That’s what happened that night and that’s what happened tonight. The games we didn’t win were because we didn’t do well enough in those two areas: serving and passing.”

With 12 kills total, Kingdon was the only player for the Wildcats to reach double-digits.

Meanwhile, the Golden Bears had three individual players who scored in the double digits. Senior Tarah Murrey and junior Shannon Hawari each had 13 kills, while freshman Christina Higgins tallied 11 kills for the Golden Bears.

California junior setter Elly Barrett almost doubled Arizona freshman setter Chloe Mathis’ assists with 43 total. Mathis made 24 assists in the Wildcats’ defeat.

“We’re getting there and getting closer, we just gotta’ keep grinding,” Rubio said.

Run

The real highlights of the day, however, came from true freshman back Ka’Deem Carey, who scored his first collegiate touchdown on a 27-yard pass completion from Foles.

Despite rushing for only 34 yards, Carey followed up his touchdown catch with two scores on the ground, the first being a leap over the goal line and the second being a 16-yard scamper where he took three defenders into the end zone with him.

“I feel like I’m getting smarter back there,” Carey said, “getting comfortable with the offensive line. Keola’s just been pushing me. He’s been a big help. He’s just been there.”

The Arizona coaching staff has been amazed so far with Carey’s ability to be a solid contributor so quickly in his career.

“It was great for him, it was really great for us as a team.” Chachere said. “I don’t

really care who scores the touchdowns, and I don’t think Ka’Deem does. But it’s always nice for a young man who’s working hard to score and kind of see the fruits of his labor.”

Some critics might blame the advancement in the run game on the opposing defense, but Saturday was a much-needed breakthrough game for the Arizona offense. It will need to keep the same tenacity on the ground throughout the rest of their schedule, if it hopes to break out of a nine-game losing streak to FBS opponents.

Foles couldn’t be happier with the way that the running game is coming together.

“I love Ka’Deem,” Foles said. “He’s got that kid mentality but he loves the game. You can tell by the way he runs and the way he does everything. He will go down as one of the top backs in Arizona history.”

from page 7

Arizona ran more times against USC than any other opponent this season.

It was in fact, a play-action roll out where Foles found H-back Taimi Tutogi all alone with room to run for the first Arizona touchdown of the game.

Tutogi and tight end Drew Robinson were also able to create a lot of solid lead blocking for the Wildcat running game.

“Taimi was great, he really played well,” Chachere said. “When he got the ball in his hands, he showed an aggression and a power that we’ve always seen from him in practice.”

Arizona running back Keola Antolin also looked like his former self, as he was able to capitalize on the holes created by the offensive line and break off a few key runs.
