Democrats flock to UA rally Terry Goddard, UA students work on last ditch-effort to register voters

By Lívia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Attorney General Terry Goddard, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, will be on campus today for his first college campus rally during this election.

UA’s Young Democrats approached the Goddard campaign with the rally idea two weeks ago.

Samantha Frisby, a UA political science major who is taking a semester off to work as the campaign’s outreach coordinator, said the UA is the first university to hold a

rally for Goddard on this campaign cycle.

The event’s goal is to present the candidate to students so they can make an “informed decision,” Frisby said.

“The young voters’ turn-out is what got Obama elected in ‘08 and is going to help democrats get elected this year,” Frisby said.

For Goddard’s camp, the rally is the last push to encourage students who haven’t registered to vote or haven’t transferred their registration to Arizona to participate in what they feel is an important election.

“The folks in the bracket of 18 to 30

(years old) are historically the folks who are least likely to turn out to vote and they are the ones that are most affected by policy changes that are happening right now,” said Cathy Nichols, Southern Arizona campaign director.

Goddard’s presence on UA campus derives from the candidate’s “strong commitment to education,” Nichols said, in particular, “making sure that our land grant universities are the strong institutions that they were supposed to be.”

The rally is expected to begin at noon on the UA Mall behind Old Main. Goddard is

the first speaker, and will be on campus until 12:30 p.m. The rally’s organization expects 200 to 300 students to attend.

Student presence makes a difference in the campaign, Nichols and Frisby said.

“We’re a very young staff,” said Frisby.

“We would not be able to run the kind of campaign we’re running without student support,” Nichols said. “We have an amazing group of interns and their enthusiasm is really contagious. They’ve really made this campaign what it is in Southern Arizona.”

Top military official visits UA Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff talks vet services, war practices

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizonans were urged to continue supporting military personnel by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Friday.

“I have been doing this a long time, and I would tell you that when I came in, in the late ’60s certainly the atmosphere on campuses is not what it is now when I returned to them, and I remember that,” said Adm. Michael G. Mullen, the top military adviser to the president, at a town hall-style meeting in Centennial Hall on Friday.

Mullen lauded changes made to military policy over the last

decade, a result of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I believe we have a changed military, I think we have a changed nation … and the pace of change is staggering,” Mullen said. “So we’ve changed who we are, we’ve changed how we fight, we’ve changed where we go, we’ve changed what we do.”

Mullen also praised the support the public has shown for returning veterans, citing the difference from when he returned from Vietnam.

“I am incredibly impressed … it is the support across that the country for the men and women who have served has just been

remarkable,” Mullen said. “And again, I was there at a time, I started at a time when that was not the case.”

Mullen stressed the role of local leaders in determining effective policy for returning veterans.

“It takes local leaders. It takes leaders at every level, but certainly what I would hope to do over the course of the day here in Tucson is connect with local leaders who are very much focused on making a difference in their community,” Mullen said. “Looking at this as an opportunity for the community, and I really believe it is, but making that connection and

leading it and shaping it here in Tucson for Tucson’s needs, Tucson’s future.”

After his prepared remarks, Mullen took questions from the audience. One man, who did not give his name, asked Mullen how he expected to win wars in Afghanistan and Iraq when applying the “just war” theory, which forbids preemptive strikes and killing civilians.

“Fundamentally the way we are deploying forces right now, we can win any tactical situation, kinetically,” Mullen said. “And the more civilians we kill, the more we lose strategically and the end of that is CHAIRMAN, page 12

The modern streetcar project’s funding gap has shrunk from $26 million to $10 million, officials announced at Thursday’s Regional Transportation Authority meeting.

However, the new type of rail, T rail, replacing the girder rail will now require modifications in the original design.

The girder rail, a lighter type of rail, is used on the majority of streetcars operated in the U.S. However, none of the American steel mills produce that type of rail, which caused the city to switch to the domestically produced T rail, explained Jim Glock, director of Tucson Department of Transportation.

“It is also the rail we utilized for the Fourth Avenue underpass, a viable alternative,” he said.

Glock said after last week’s meeting with the Federal Transit Administration for their quarterly review of the project, some issues and challenges were brought to the table.

In addition to the edits in design, the T rail is slightly deeper, requiring certain tests be done to ensure that the rail functions properly and does not make any noise or vibration among the rails.

Glock estimates the new cost of the project at $180 million rather than the STREETCAR, page 12

Students succeed after breaking four-year plan

World traveling, volunteering options available to those who decide to take time off school

By Cecelia Marshall ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Some UA college students are seeing the benefit of taking a semester off.

College offers many experiences, but some feel like something is missing that cannot be found in classes, clubs or people on campus.

When Andrew Hamilton, a 26-year-old junior applying to be an international studies major, decided to take a semester off from college, he said at the time he “didn’t focus, didn’t like school and (he) felt like (he) was wasting time and money.”

He took a full-time job at Urban

Outfitters and was initially going to earn more money for a year before returning to school. However, Hamilton found himself away from school for about two and a half years.

Through a TOMS Shoes campaign at his work, Hamilton was selected from a drawing to travel to South Africa and spend 11 days dispersing shoes to orphaned children.

Before traveling to South Africa, Hamilton describes himself as being very ignorant and unfamiliar with the country. It was a “pivotal point in my life,” Hamilton said.

The trip made Hamilton realize how “I’m completely privileged and I can try to do what I want to

COMING TUESDAY

MIP – what now?

do. It inspired me to work more on myself,” he said.

Hamilton didn’t return directly to school after Africa. For a little over a year, he took a position with the Southwest Conservation Corps.

He said he worked outside for 90 percent of the time planting trees and building and repairing trails.

Hamilton also received firefighter training while working, which led to his next adventure as a Wildland Firefighter.

Back in college now, Hamilton says he enjoys it more. After helping people abroad, he is more focused and motivated now that he sees what he is working toward TIME OFF, page 3

What is the worst thing you have coming up this week?

(Long pause) Oh, I have tutoring every single day because of the 30 percent I got on my first accounting test.

And did you study?

The funny part is, I did study and, not only did I have tutoring, but my TA tutored me.

Yikes girl. Well, regardless of that one failed test, you seem to be glowing. What are you loving about life?

Life is so amazing right now. I was just offered an internship in New York City with the Stock Exchange and I feel like my life here at the UA is a dream.

How so?

All I do is socialize, tan, and flirt, as you can see by my test score.

Do you think flirting with TAs and/or teachers is appropriate and/or useful?

(Laughs) Getting to know your TA and teachers is very helpful in a sense that they get to know you better as a student and they get to see what needs you have. In regards to flirting, I mean if the TA is single and older than 25, why not?

You only live once, right? Who are the three people you think are the most successful under 25?

I would say Mark Zuckerberg, but after seeing “The Social Network” I do not like him. I guess I am going to go with … can we do 30?

Sure.

Zach Hunter, he started Loose Change to Loosen Chains, a foundation which has students freeing modern day slaves. Alanna O’Brien, my sister, who is president and founder of HALO for HOPE. And Justin Bieber, yeah, I had to say it.

And what are three things you need to accomplish before you are 30?

Go to graduate school abroad at University College London, secure a job with the United Nations by the age 29, and be married to Prince William, 29 is the deadline.

We can probably arrange for this to be e-mailed to him if you want.

Oh my gosh, yes, yes, yes.

If Prince William proposed to you with a Ring Pop, what would happen?

He’d be going back to the candy shop he bought it at.

First I’d be like, “Are you kidding me?” Then I’d get his 50 cents back and make him turn that 50 cents into the 50 carat ring that I deserve.

Zellweger returns to horror genre in ‘Case 39’

“This girl is in trouble,” Renee Zellweger’s character declares in “Case 39,” her first horror movie in 16 years. “I can FEEL it.”

As can we all. Zellweger, at 41 not really someone we’d call “girl” anymore, appears in full career regression with this generic supernatural thriller. A fine actress with an Academy Award, you’d think she would be far removed from playing a social worker trying to figure out if this creepy kid she’s saved from abusive parents was the one who needed saving.

Emily Jenkins (Zellweger) is a career case worker with child social services in Portland, Ore. — someone who has learned the patience of one who endures daily cursing on the phone by parents whose kids have been identified by “the system” as in trouble.

She is so committed to the work that she can’t really maintain a relationship, even with a guy played by Bradley Cooper.

And she’s developed instincts she can call on when the system is about to let somebody down. Mike (Ian McShane) is

a sympathetic cop who has, on occasion, watched a house where Emily suspects a child is endangered.

Lily (Jodelle Ferland) is such a child — fearful, grades tumbling in school. And on meeting her frightening and angry parents (Kerry O’Malley, Callum Keith Rennie) alarm bells go off. Emily isn’t shocked when Lily calls her at home and she has to dash across town to save the kid from religious fanatics stuffing her in the oven.

ASUA tackles class clickers

Senator works to standardize campus, save students money

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ASUA Sen. Chad Travis is working to make the UA a one-clicker university.

The standardization of classroom responders, colloquially known as clickers, is Travis’ main focus, and a project that Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Emily Fritze has been on board with since its proposal.

The idea sprung from Travis having to buy three separate clickers by the time he entered his third semester on the UA campus.

“Why can’t I use the same clicker? Why do I need to buy three?” Travis asked.

After Travis garnered support from Fritze, the two students became the faces of the Task Force on Classroom Responders, which was started last semester.

“We talked about the next steps we intended to take at this meeting,” Travis said. “Because one, it’s cost effective for students, and two, it simplified things for professors.”

At the September meeting, the Turning Technologies clicker, the second-least expensive one utilized at the UA, was chosen to be the standard clicker due to its affordability and its compatibility for students of all majors on campus.

There are 10 teachers not using the

TIME OFF

continued from page 1

Turning Technologies clicker, requiring more than 6,000 students to purchase a different clicker device for classes.

“It depends on your major really. I’ve met some people who didn’t even know what it was. But in (the) business department, they are super common and in gen eds they are super common,” he said.

Travis hopes with standardization, the UA will help technology services focus on one type of clicker and motivate Turning Technologies to keep the business of the university. The sole utilization of the brand would amount to

up to $250,000 in sales for the business, according to Travis.

The next meeting of the task force is scheduled for later this month where they will be making final adjustments toward standardization, which is expected to occur in time for the spring 2011 semester.

“Ultimately, with clickers being between $35 and $60, I would have saved about $100 if I only had to buy one clicker,” Travis said. “That’s what it comes down to: $100 in the hands of students.”

Other ASUA project updates: • Sen. Garrett Voge, who stressed reaching out to the greater Tucson community during last March’s campaign, held his first of several “Senate Buffets” where students can try out various volunteer organizations in the community in order to promote involvement.

• Sen. Taylor Bilby, whose focus during campaigning was campus arts, culture and entertainment, recently selected committee heads for her Tanzbödeli project, an April arts and culture festival she hopes to make an annual event to promote fundraising for breast cancer research.

• Sen. Chad Travis, a pre-business sophomore, is working toward finishing his second senate project and moving onto his third, his campaign promise of shuttles to high-interest off-campus areas for students.

“I just don’t want it to get put on my back burner and then winter break gets here and it never gets finished,” Travis said. “I was partially elected on that (promise) so I want to make sure it gets done.”

Travis’s first senate project of the year dealt with residence hall posters, displaying the month’s events and highlighting ASUA programs for the senate’s on-campus constituency.

Adviser: Plan before leaving school

with his degree.

I have a “gut feeling that this is where I need to be, school is what I need,” he said. “Right now a B.A. is what I need to go further.”

Hamilton “sees it as time well spent,” acknowledging the benefits of both classroom learning and experiential learning.

“My only regret is I didn’t do it sooner,” Hamilton said. “I would recommend it if it’s what you want to do.”

Marisa Carlos, a business and economics junior, says she liked school, yet after her freshman year at the UA, determined she needed to take a semester off for health issues. Her sleep schedule had flipped freshmen year, she was missing classes and labs because of it, and her grades were slipping.

It was “too hard to get healthy while in school,” she said. Carlos says her parents were worried that she wouldn’t go back after the semester. They encouraged her to be at least a half-time student instead but she said, “I knew what I needed to do.”

“I knew I would be back because I like school,” Carlos said.

Carlos spent the last fall semester getting healthy and working as a nanny.

“I was bored out of my mind,” she said.

Though she felt removed from the campus and friends during her semester off, Carlos returned healthy and with a positive change in her grades. It was “the best thing I’ve done,” she said.

Water in desert doesn’t solve larger issues Storm Byrd Arizona Daily Wildcat

A

Tucson-based humanitarian group called No More Deaths/No Más Muertes has taken a great deal of fire for its practice of leaving behind water jugs in arid lands that are notorious for being flooded by illegal immigrants.

Many opponents have accused the group of encouraging illegal immigration, saying the organization ought to be punished. The New York Times has reported several of the group’s members being charged with littering the otherwise wideopen desert area. While most members have been acquitted of the charges brought against them, the inconveniences of being arrested and hiring an attorney to fight the case are there nonetheless.

No More Deaths defends its stance on leaving water jugs behind because the water is left for anyone who passes through the desert, whether it is an illegal immigrant or a law enforcement official. A member of the group has echoed this sentiment, saying, “We’d give water to anyone we found in the desert, even the border patrol.”

On the surface, what No More Deaths is doing does seem to at least support those crossing the borders illegally in their efforts. Some claim that by providing water jugs, No More Deaths is encouraging the illegal passage. In response to that claim, a member of the Sierra Club correctly cites increased border control as the reason more people are choosing to venture through the desert for passage to the U.S. Those crossing the border are desperate individuals who venture into the desert with the intention of finding a better life; whether there is water there or not is irrelevant to them. So, blaming No More Deaths for the increase in immigrants passing through desert regions is incorrect.

In regard to legality, however, there is some concern. The No More Deaths water jugs are aiding illegal immigrants, and thus aiding criminals. Whether or not you sympathize with illegal immigration, you must recognize that in pure legal terms this organization is aiding someone who is breaking the law. No More Deaths can pretend that the jugs are for whomever, but let’s face it; a border enforcement official isn’t going to be dying of thirst when they can simply drive their vehicle back to wherever they may be stationed.

What ought to be done instead of leaving water in the desert is increasing production of rescue beacons like those created by border patrol. These beacons allow immigrants to send out a distress call. This enforces the law and allows border patrol to do a better job, while at the same time still allowing for humanitarian efforts.

There are people who will cross the border no matter what. They accept the difficulties that face them, and while it is a nice gesture to provide water to them, the reasoning just doesn’t justify the act.

These individuals face the arduous task of crossing the border through illegal means, and therefore accept the risks they take.

They accept that water will be in short supply and heat will be a factor. Aiding them in their venture just doesn’t add up.

Yes, it’s a very kind humanitarian effort and these people shouldn’t just be left to die a painful dehydration-induced death.

However, helping illegal immigrants cross the border isn’t the proper means to changing the immigration process.

If you want to make a change in policy you’re going to have to do more than help illegal immigrants with hydration. If you’re extremely opposed to illegal immigration, then you just might be all for letting the illegal immigrants die, but the simple fact is that they’re humans. Although they may be breaking the law, it is not your place to pass judgment on individuals who are obviously dreadfully desperate. It’s necessary to enforce the laws with respect to the value of a human life.

These immigrants shouldn’t be left to die out in the desert, but there need to be more appropriate means for keeping them alive. Their lives are valuable, but aiding them in their crossing is illegal nonetheless. Whether you think the immigration process should be altered or not, leaving behind water jugs isn’t helping the progress toward a better immigration system.

MAILBAG Painting Tucson traffic as dire is inaccurate

This is in regard to Andrew Shepherd’s article on Tucson driving printed Sept. 28.

I couldn’t tell if your opinion piece on Tucson driving was satire or a real expression of what you feel. If it was satire I missed the wink and grin to let me know. If not … where to start?

Firstly, don’t refer to yourself as an environmentalist. It’s offensive. That’s like writing 500 words on why Fuddruckers is awesome and casually mentioning halfway through that you are a vegetarian. Being an environmentalist and writing phrases like “evil Sun Tran” can’t coexist.

Tucson doesn’t have traffic problems any worse than most other comparable cities. Where else have you lived that makes you think it’s bad here? What Tucson doesn’t have is a major system of limited access highways that let you zip around the city at 70 mph. That is a good thing. Pick up the excellent book “Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do” by Tom Vanderbilt, in which he demonstrates why additional roads always generate extra traffic to fill them. Imagine there was a beltway-style highway around Tucson. You would find yourself driving 25 miles to Krispy Kreme for a doughnut because it just doesn’t feel that far at 70 mph. Instant traffic ensues.

The secondary effect is worse. In such a city, new stores all locate on the periphery of the city where land is cheap and possibly outside the city limits so taxes are lower. Wait 25 years and there is no store within walking or biking distance from where you live. Life requires a car for even the smallest purchase.

The major beef of your point is that the design of Tucson streets makes it frustrating for you to drive. I suppose that implies more frustrations would make you more likely to combine trips, take

the bus or walk. As an environmentalist, you would agree any of those options are better. So what you really want deep down is more crosswalks, more busses and slower drivers. Since you are an environmentalist yourself, I dare you to refute that logic.

I agree with you on the potholes. They are a nuisance. Of the major cities I’ve lived in, Tucson has the bumpiest roads.

Ironically, I think this stems from the lack of major highways.

No major highways means all trips get taken on surface streets.

There seems to be a boatload of federal money to build interstate-type roads, but the major source of funding for city streets is property taxes. Tucson has successfully avoided incorporating most new housing developments in the city limits, so don’t look for the tax base to grow much soon.

Finally, the speed issue; the most irksome thing about Tucson driving is people who drive under the speed limit. On Fifth Street, the speed limit is posted at 30 mph. This is an UPPER limit on the legal speed, not a lower one. That is, 32 mph = illegal, while 28 mph = legal. I did not realize this for many years after I got a driver’s license. You may be aware that close to 40,000 Americans die in automobile accidents every year. Driving faster than is appropriate is listed as a factor in about half of these cases.

The posted speed limit represents the fastest speed deemed safe under IDEAL conditions. I occasionally drive slower than the maximum because sometimes I deem the situation unsafe. This could be sun glare, an erratic driver in front of me, kids playing near street, etc. If you see someone driving under the speed limit, take a clue and look around to figure out why.

Fox News may be biased, but Obama should let it be Brett Haupt

T

Arizona Daily Wildcat

he battle of the titans, ladies and gentlemen: the most influential man in the world versus one of the most influential news group in the world, and both sides make legitimate claims against the other.

We can assume Fox News is the most influential, above other, larger networks, because it is the only network that consistently pushes a more right-leaning point of view. This is not debatable; it is common knowledge that Fox News in some capacity pushes the Republican agenda.

However, Fox News is not predicated on being objective. It makes the big bucks with colorful commentators like Bill O’Reilly, Nancy Grace and Sean Hannity, who captivate audiences by screeching about the shortcomings of everybody in politics.

The moment we stop questioning those in power, is the moment we lose control of this country to our government.

Nobody keeps government more honest than Fox News, and the network is to be commended for it.

The collective sentiment among the elephants, a sentiment that Fox drives home at every opportunity, is that President Obama is a one-trick pony, delivering scintillating speeches that incite optimism, but failing to follow up with any progress.

This point does not sit well with the president. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Obama described Fox News as, “A point of view that I disagree with. It’s a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world.”

Fox News, of course, fired back into what has become a heated exchange between Fox and the White House, with a quip that the president should be spending his time on more “presidential” things, rather than ripping news corporations.

Point well taken, but if you were Obama you would be hard pressed not to let the constant barrage of negativity get to you.

The White House has recently dubbed Fox News, “opinion journalism masquerading as news,” and who could logically argue with that? However, is

“

Fox News really destructive to America?

A lot of television can be seen as destructive to America, or corruptive to the collective psyche of Americans, including “Jersey Shore” or “Family Guy,” and certainly Fox News is in this category, but who is complaining? Those in power must be ready to be bashed and mashed into public scrutiny; that comes with the job. Obama is better served just ignoring Fox rather than punching back, which is sure to just draw more ire from the public.

Rather, the president should go about his business and not worry about what the far right has to say; after all, Fox News needs to be taken at face value, which is ultimately entertainment.

Forget news if you’re watching Fox. It makes more money employing talking heads that bash on everybody.

Is Fox destructive to America? Sure, but the caveat is that if Fox News wants to be biased, we all need to see it for what it is — rhetoric hyperbole that can’t be taken seriously.

Obama vs. Fox News; advantage … no one.

The moment we stop questioning those in power, is the moment we lose control of this country to our government. Nobody keeps government more honest than Fox News, and the network is to be commended for it.

Late-night love chats lead to library removal

A man was arrested for second-degree criminal trespassing at the UA Main Library on Tuesday at 2:11 a.m.

At about 2:05 a.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer was dispatched to the library in reference to an unwanted person. Upon arrival, he was directed by a library staff member to the information commons. In the northeast of the information commons was a man was sitting at a table using a computer. The staff member notified the officer that she had made contact with the man on the previous night at 1:30 a.m.

She had informed the man that because he was not affiliated with the university he could not be in the library between the hours of 1 a.m, and 7 a.m. The man then left the library without incident.

The officer asked the man to identify himself, and the man identified himself using his Arizona driver’s license.

The officer asked the man if he knew why he was talking to him, and the man replied that it was “because it was past 1 a.m. and I was told not to be in the library at this time.”

The man told the officer that the reason he was using the computer so late was to “chat with my fiancee who lives in Pennsylvania.”

Since the same violation had occurred approximately 24 hours before the officer ’s contact with the man, the officer notified the man that he would be cited and released for criminal trespassing of the second degree.

The man stated that he understood. The man signed it in the presence of the officer and was escorted from the library without incident.

Case of the missing briefcase

A man reported that he lost his briefcase on Wednesday. He believes he lost it in the Space Sciences building.

At approximately 3:13 p.m. he called to report it to the UAPD. He stated that he remembered walking to his office with his hands full and placing his briefcase outside of his office room at approximately 1 p.m.

The man then went to the post office and when he returned about a half hour later, he could not find the briefcase. The briefcase was brown and contained paperwork and a USB drive. The serial number is unknown. There are no witnesses or suspects at this time.

Don’t leave laptops in library

A UA student had his MacBook Pro stolen from the UA Main Library on Tuesday sometime between 12:15 p.m. and 2:15 p.m.

An officer conducted a phone interview with the man to get some more information. The man explained that he was in the library and had left in a hurry because he had to take an exam. He forgot his laptop and when he returned his MacBook Pro was no longer where he had last seen it.

The man told the officer that he had left the laptop on the third floor of the library, and described his laptop’s color, size and details. The missing MacBook Pro had an estimated value of $1,100, according to the man.

A victim’s rights form was mailed to the victim. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Buy a U-Lock

A man’s bicycle was stolen from the west bike racks at the Student Recreation Center on Sept. 24, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The student had locked up his bike with a cable lock at 11 a.m., and when he returned a few hours later he noticed his bike was gone.

He called UAPD to report the incident on Tuesday at 3:40 p.m. The man believes that his bicycle is worth $1,500 and describes the road bike as being red and white. He did not have his bike registered with Parking and Transportation Services and did not know the serial number.

UAPD advised the student to call back if he was able to find any of that information. A victim’s rights form was filled out and given to the man. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

5MINUTE FILM FRENZY Photos and story

by Valentina Martinelli ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Campus MovieFest issued a challenge to students across UA to make a five-minute movie in a week.

More than 30 films were submitted, but only 16 films were screened in the Gallagher Theater at the Campus MovieFest Premier on Friday. Only the top three films will move on to compete nationally.

A panel of judges composed of UA students, Campus MovieFest staff and UA faculty decided the winners of the three categories: Best Drama, Best Comedy and Best Picture.

Students line up for the Campus MovieFest Launch in the Games Room of the Student Union Memorial Center’s basement on Sept. 22.

All of the students who participated were given an Apple laptop equipped with Final Cut Pro, more than 1,300 songs, an HD Panasonic Camera, sound equipment and a tripod for the week of filming.

Isaac Benson White, right, a media arts sophomore, directs Philips on his facial expressions. Actors were instructed to play their characters as emotively as possible in order to adequately portray their personas in the Charlie Chaplin-style silent film.

Paige Anderson, a pre-physiology freshman, adds fake blood to a baseball bat for the final scene of the movie.

The fake blood was made using a mixture of corn syrup, water and red food dye.

Mitch Peterson, a nutrition junior at Pima Community College, enjoys his lunch still in zombie costume and makeup. While filming at Himmel Park, many children were amused by the actors dressed as zombies. “One of (the children) called me mummy guy” Peterson said.

Anderson looks through the men’s shirt racks at Savers while consulting a list of actors’ sizes. All of the costumes were bought from Savers and totaled of more than $100.

Anderson, applies zombie makeup to Andrea Lotz, a creative writing sophomore. A combination of white and black costume makeup was used to achieve the zombie effect.

Pomade, a styling gel, was used in all of the actor’s hair. Philips said, “I was in the shower for about an hour until I looked up on the Internet that I had to use olive oil to get the pomade out of my hair.”

Students anxiously wait to see if their films were chosen to be screened at the premier of Campus MovieFest in the Gallagher Theater in the Student Union Memorial Center on Friday. “An Afternoon in the Park” was nominated for Best Comedy and is a semi-finalist for the AT&T Rethink Possible Award. Isaac Benson White, while reflecting on the week-long movie-making process, said, “When the movie was first completed, I thought, ‘never again,’ but then I thought, ‘maybe next year.’”

Volleyball bounces back Soccer

gets on right track

Wins 2-1 over San Francisco, enters Pac-10 play on high note

By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Paige Weber, left, and the rest of the Arizona volleyball team bounce back from disppointing losses to California and Stanford by defeating ASU on Friday and New Mexico State on Sunday. Weber’s presence in both games was a surprise to head coach Dave Rubio after she injured her ankle during practice.

Wildcats defeat ASU, New Mexico State to improve to 12-4

By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona volleyball had its possibly worst week of practice of the year, but it culminated in what may be the Wildcats’ best performance of the season.

Arizona (12-4, 1-2 Pacific 10 Conference) knocked off instate rival ASU (5-10, 0-3) in straight sets at McKale Center, and then defeated New Mexico State University in four sets on Sunday after dropping the opening set in Las Cruces, N.M..

“It feels really good. After last weekend, we were pretty disappointed, so we went into practice this week knowing that we would have to work even harder because ASU was working just as hard as we were,” said junior outside hitter Courtney Karst. “We just wanted to come out and get this win to get that off of our backs.”

In the week leading up to the weekend’s matches, Arizona had two injury scares involving critical players. Setter Paige Weber turned her ankle on Tuesday, and Karst ran fullspeed into a blocking box on Thursday.

Rubio feared the worst for both players, he said. Weber had to be taken from practice in a wheelchair, and Karst was writhing in pain on the McKale Center floor. Rubio said he was

sure that she had broken her leg or torn her ACL. However, both played on Friday and, according to Rubio, both played very well.

“I can’t believe that (Karst) played today,” Rubio said.

“Same thing with Paige (Weber).”

Even though her coach was pessimistic about her chances to play in the match, Weber

Arizona, which has struggled to finish off opponents after taking a 2-0 lead — two of the Wildcats’ four losses have come in that fashion — was finally able to put together a dominating clinching set, defeating the Devils 25-12. “(Finishing a win) is something that’s tough to do. It

“I’ve played on much worse, so it would take a lot more to keep me from playing in any match period,” she said.

“Especially a match like this.”

around. The Wildcats won the deciding fourth set 25-17 over the Aggies.

In what Rubio called her best performance of the season, Weber notched 38 assists and found five different attackers against ASU, and 49 against New Mexico State.

“It wasn’t a game plan, but when all of your hitters are viable options it makes my life a lot easier,” Weber said. “There wasn’t a single hitter tonight that I did not and would not feel comfortable getting the ball to.

“That’s what makes it really hard when other teams are playing against you … when they have to respect everyone.”

After Arizona away ASU in the third set, the Wildcats were successful in a similar situation against New Mexico State.

Once again, Arizona was able to put away its opponent in the final set instead of letting it hang

After suffering a stress fracture in her foot during fall camp, freshman middle blocker Tarryn Luafalemana had seen action in both of Arizona’s conference matches. However, pain in her foot has flared up, and Rubio doesn’t know when she will be available to play again.

“She really is not healthy — she’s still having foot pain and we couldn’t play her if we wanted to,” Rubio said. “She could play, but it would be detrimental to her health.”

Softball returns to the diamond ’Cats start exhibition season on right foot by beating Yavapai 9-4

By Kelly Hultgren Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona softball team hit the field for the first time yesterday after its loss last season to UCLA in the Women’s College World Series finals, beating Yavapai College 9-4 in a exhibition game at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Senior catcher Stacie Chambers came to the plate with confidence, hitting Arizona’s only home run of the game in the first inning with two runners on base, giving the Wildcats a 3-2 lead.

“We played like we always play,” Chambers said. “We came out hard with a lot of intensity.”

Despite facing a 4-2 deficit in the fifth inning, the Roughriders weren’t going to go down without a fight. They tied the game on a two-run home run.

Yavapai’s lead was short lived. In the bottom of the fifth, Chambers ripped a hard ground ball down the first base line that got by the Yavapai first baseman. Senior center fielder Lauren Schutzler scored from second on the error to regain the lead at 5-4.

To seal the win, sophomore Becca Tikey tripled to drive in a

run in the bottom of the sixth inning, making the score 6-4.

The offensive explosion was necessary for Arizona since its

pitching had an inconsistent start. Freshman Shelby Babcock pitched the first four innings and couldn’t seem to find the strike

zone, walking six batters in the first three innings.

Despite her struggles, though, fellow pitcher and team ace Kenzie Fowler isn’t concerned and offered advice and encouragement for Babcock.

“Shelby is a great addition to the team, she’s going to help us out a lot,” Fowler said. “She was nervous today, but I told her I was nervous this time last year, and we look back and these games don’t matter, and it is what you make of it.”

Fowler came in at the top of the fifth and pitched the rest of the game. Head coach Mike Candrea didn’t start Fowler in an effort to save her arm and sharpen her new pitching style, which was formed as a result of her illegal pitch tendencies last season.

“I’ve changed my pitching a lot,” Fowler said. “My wind-up is a lot different and all my pitches are different. There was an illegal pitch issue I had to address from last year and more efficient mechanics.”

Candrea also talked about her transformation. First and foremost, he wants to “make her legal,” Candrea said. “Keep her SOFTBALL, page 14

In a soccer game as improtant as yersday’s against the University of San Francisco, there are certain players and moments that define a team.

In Arizona’s 2-1 win over the Dons, it was goalkeeper Ashley Jett who propelled the Wildcats to their second straight win. “(Jett) was awesome today, she’s coming up big for us,” said senior Macke Mutz. “She’s really leading and motivating the defense so it’s great to have her back there.”

Jett, the Pacific 10 Conference leader in saves heading into the weekend, made more than one clutch save on Sunday.

Toward the end of the first half with the game still scoreless, USF (49) attacker Keonna Robinson evaded the Arizona defense and broke free into the box where she was alone with Jett. Robinson struck the ball just as Jett leapt into the air to deflect the shot over the goal and preserve the tie heading into halftime.

“It’s an adrenaline rush, you know that you’re going to have to make a save unless they muff it,” Jett said. “I know that my team is going to do everything they can to keep me out of those situations, but that’s my time where I have to keep it out of the back of the net.”

Arizona’s attack set up several scoring opportunities in the first half but was unable to capitalize until the offense broke through on a goal from Mutz in the 65th minute, and later on a strike from senior Alex Davis in the 72nd.

Football rises to No. 9 in AP

Despite not playing a single snap Saturday, Arizona surged five spots up the latest AP poll to No. 9 in the country — its highest ranking since the 1999 preseason.

Both Stanford and Florida fell out of the Top 10, and Wisconsin dropped from No. 11 to No. 20, opening the door for Arizona to join the nation’s elite.

The 4-0 Wildcats are amidst their best start in the last 12 years, and between the No. 9 ranking and cornerback Robert Golden’s recent appearance on ESPN’s talk show program “Rome is Burning,” the nation is taking notice.

It was an up-and-down weekend for the Pacific 10 Conference, though, as Oregon leap-frogged Boise State to move into No. 3 in the country, but Stanford dropped to No. 16 and USC fell out of the Top 25.

The Wildcats also moved up from No. 14 to No. 11 in the USA Today coaches poll.

Arizona has a chance to continue to climb up the rankings and improve to 5-0 when Oregon State and the Rodgers brothers come to Tucson on Saturday.

SPORTS BRIEFS Cross-country leaves ASU with win

Both the men and women’s cross-country teams pulled out a win against in-state rivals ASU this past weekend.

The No. 9 women’s team, who is a perfect 4-0, sat its entire first team in preparation for a Pre-National Invitational in Indiana in two weeks, but won nonetheless.

Freshmen Erin Menefee won the women’s 3-mile run with a time of 17:56.4.

Official scores are still being finalized because of technical issues at the meet. The Wildcats were able to round out the top 10 with five women crossing the finish line.

The ASU invitational is a relatively small meet compared to the other meets the Wildcats have participated in and that contributed to the decision to sit the women’s first team.

The men got their first team win at ASU, as they ran their entire first team except junior Stephen Sambu.

Sophomore James Eichberger led the Wildcats with a fifth-place finish and was the first Wildcat to cross the finish line in the 3-mile race. Like the women, the men also had five runners in the top 10.

Men’s golf continues to struggle, places eighth in Albuquerque

eighth this weekend in the William H. Tucker Invitational with a score of 897 (plus-33). The Wildcats had a very upand-down tournament with the majority of the team struggling in the last round.

“As a whole we didn’t play that good,” said senior Jonathan Khan. “We finished in the middle of pack and the field wasn’t that strong.”

Khan was one Arizona player who stood out, however, as he led the way for the team. Khan placed 16th and recorded his first top-20 finish of the season thanks to a final-round 73.

Going into this tournament, head coach Rick LaRose was looking for someone to step up and take the fifth spot on the team’s rotation. Some of the underclassmen showed promise in the opening rounds but fell off at the end.

“It’s still kind of open and I think the next couple weeks before Isleworth (Collegiate Invitational) the team will be watching the guys to see how they play,” Khan said of the fifth spot.

The next opportunity for the Wildcats to bounce back will be Oct. 16 at Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Colo.

By Daniel Gaona Arizona Daily Wildcat The Icecats may have lost both games of their season-opening series at ASU by a combined score of 10-7, but the young squad appears to have a bright future.

“We’re proud of the way this team fought and clawed, and I think we gave Arizona State quite a scare,” head coach Leo Golembiewski said. “We started our season off against them and gave them more than what they bargained for.”

The Icecats lost the first game by a score of 5-3 on Thursday against the No. 9 Sun Devils and then fell 5-4 in the second game on Friday night. But despite the losses, Golembiewski is optimistic.

“Obviously they’re ranked ninth in the country and we can play with them without a doubt so we are very pleased with that,” he said. “We feel this is a much improved Icecat team and I think the fans are going to love it.”

In the first game, the Icecats led 2-0 after the first period and were tied 3-3 after the second. But in the third period ASU scored a go-ahead goal with 1:30 left.

Golembiewski then decided to pull his goaltender Steven Sisler and put a sixth attacker on the ice. The Icecats, however, weren’t able to score, but allowed the Sun Devils to connect on a meaningless emptynet goal with about 30 seconds left.

Forwards Jordan Schupan, Blake Richards and Jared Lowell each scored a goal in the opener, while Sisler had 81 saves in the series and impressed, according to Golembiewski.

“Sisler is our No. 1 goaltender and he did a great job in the nets,” he added. “He had some great saves and is a great position goaltender. He doesn’t get beat inside or in the crease too much because he’s in position

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships 79% of UA students did not use tobacco in the past 30 days. (2010 Health & Wellness Survey, N=2,931)

Q What are some intimate activities for gay men outside of anal sex?

A. Intercourse, whether through vaginal or anal penetration, is just one form of sexual intimacy. The options, as you suggest, need not be limited to these alone. Whether gay, straight, lesbian, or bisexual, many couples enjoy kissing, massage, foreplay, fantasy, frottage (the French word for body rubbing), mutual masturbation, or talking as other ways to enjoy one another and arouse the senses. While lower risk than anal sex, oral stimulation can be another satisfying option, but keep in mind that “going down” can still lead to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.

An even better answer to your question can be found by going directly to the source: why not use this as a chance to talk with your partner about turn-ons, turn-offs, and boundaries up front? Communication can increase your comfort level and help avoid awkward (and unwanted) moments in bed down the road.

Exploring intimate activities other than anal sex may also have another benefit – reducing risk for both you and your partner.

Because the lining of the anus is a thin membrane, it can easily tear and bleed, which is one reason anal sex is considered high-risk for transmitting HIV, hepatitis, and other STDs. Furthermore, since the anus is designed to expel waste from the body, small amounts of fecal matter and bacteria there may cause infection if they come in contact with the mouth or urethra, though a soapy shower or anal douching prior to sex can help reduce these risks.

Curious about what other students are doing? Of the students who identified as gay men in the 2010 Health & Wellness Survey, slightly more reported ever having oral sex (84%) compared to anal sex (79%).

In the past school year, 71% of gay men said they had intercourse, and 29% had not.

The Campus Health Service (CHS) offers condoms and STD testing – two other ways to lower your risk and boost your peace of mind. Call 621-9202 to schedule an appointment or stop by the CHS Pharmacy.

Walk-in appointments are also welcome.

and that is something you can’t teach.”

The second game was similar to the first, but there was an additional opponent for UA. Golembiewski and his squad said they felt the officiating may have been slanted in one direction toward the end of the game.

“We spent a lot of the third period not only playing a tough ASU team but also some interesting referees,” he added. “I’m not one to complain about stuff like that, but definitely saw one color and not both.”

The Icecats led 2-1 at the end of the opening period and then 3-2 after the second.

Lowell, and defensemen Mike Basist and Jonathan Watanabe each scored a goal.

Early in the third period, two penalties were called 46 seconds apart giving ASU a two-man advantage. That allowed the Sun Devils to score a pair of power-play goals and take a 4-3 lead.

After the power play was over, ASU scored again, putting the score at 5-3. However, Icecats’ sophomore co-captain Brian Slugocki scored with 3:30 left. Golembiewski opted to pull Sisler again for an extra attacker with 37 seconds left, but the Icecats couldn’t net the puck.

“I really believe the guys were upset about the fact that the game we feel was stolen away by the referee,” Golembiewski said. “We had some chances to put both games away, but we didn’t, which is part of it being a new season and part of execution and all that stuff will come in time.”

The action continued on the ice after time ran out. A bench-clearing brawl broke out after an ASU player pushed an Icecat down.

There was also a fight earlier in the game involving Basist and sophomore Scotty Willson. Both will miss the next game because of the disqualification.

“The bad blood that exists against ASU is certainly existent even more so after those two games,” Golembiewski said.

original $196 million after cost revaluations.

“There are a lot of layers of oversight, a lot of layers of quality assurance and quality control that you don’t usually see on a locally funded project overall,” he added.

Michael Barton, vice president of HDR Engineering Inc., says he expects a minor delay in the project, but anticipates getting back on schedule quickly, adding that the design is about 60 percent complete.

“We think the domestically procured rail may be cheaper, the track work might be a little more expensive but not a major cost impact by switching the rail section,” Barton said.

Tim Ahrens, who works on the financial team for the project, said the Regional Transportation Authority is the largest contributor with $75 million.

Marcheta Gillespie represents the department of procurement for the city of Tucson, which is responsible for doing all the acquisitions, including negotiating for the streetcar and constructing line segments. Those will all be sourced, solicited and awarded through that office.

“We work with the rest of the team to put contracts in place and once they are in place we make sure we remain in budget and on schedule,” Gillespie said.

The only contract being administered is the vehicle contract with Oregon Iron Works Inc., she said, and that is within budget and on schedule.

The rest of the line segments will go out once the city gets authorization from the Federal Transit Administration to begin construction.

Students protest ‘PR event’

we lose from my perspective.”

Mullen said that tactical changes are necessary to address changes in the way warfare is conducted.

“Strategically, you can’t go into a country and keep killing the men and women and their kids who live there and expect to gain their support, not gonna happen,” Mullen said to a round of applause. “If we don’t get the support of the Afghan people or the Iraqi people … we can’t win, if we do we can.”

Mullen was questioned on the national security ramifications of climate change and said the military is making an effort to transition toward more sustainable practices.

“We are much more focused now on a future that has, in our world, green technology, and a green approach specifically,” Mullen said. “That is not something, as it is

for the country, we can throw a light switch and transition overnight.”

Several groups, including the UA chapter of No More Deaths/No Mas Muertes and UA Students for Justice in Palestine, protested Mullen’s policies and continued U.S. presence in the Middle East before and after the event.

About 20 to 30 people attended the protest.

Brooke Lober, a doctoral student in gender and women’s studies and a representative for No More Deaths, attended the protest.

“I think it’s good to continue representing opposition to the military industrial complex when the military decides to hold these kind of PR events on college campuses,” Lober said. “As a university we need to take a look at our corporate and military investments and see whether they preclude or exclude democratic debate.”

Democrats chide Brewer for policies, budget, silence

The candidate’s speech will draw on a comparison between the next fiscal year’s budget in a possible Goddard administration versus current Gov. Jan Brewer’s, Nichols said.

“What are the alternatives she’s proposing and what are the alternatives he’s proposing,” she said about the differences in the proposed budgets.

The education system’s budget deficit that developed during Brewer’s 16-month administration is a major issue for Goddard, who

doesn’t want to burden students to balance the budget, Nichols said.

“After this election on Nov. 2nd, when the Legislature comes back on Nov. 3rd, they’re going to be looking at a $1 billion budget deficit.

And that money is going to have to be taken out of something,” she said.

Both candidates running for governor were invited earlier by the ASUA for a debate, but Brewer declined. “Unfortunately there will not be an opportunity for the students to hear their

proposals side to side because she’s refused to have any other debates,” Nichols said.

Republican candidate Gov. Jan Brewer has not announced any visits to UA campus during her campaign so far. The governor’s campaign office could not be reached for comment by the time of publication.

Aside from Goddard, statewide candidates Rodney Glassman, Chris Deschene, Felecia Rotellini, Penny Kotterman and Manuel Cruz have confirmed attendance. Local candidates

for districts 27 and 28 Macario Saldate and Bruce Wheeler are also expected to attend.

“We have a very enthusiastic group of young democrats on the U of A campus that have extended invitations widely,” Nichols said.

Rumors of an appearance by Michelle Obama at the rally surfaced when the president of the Young Democrats sent the first lady a letter inviting her, creating excitement about the possibility. The campaign, Nichols said, was not expecting Obama to come.

foot down and being more legal. We want her around for awhile, we want to keep her healthy.”

All things considered, Candrea kept a realistic outlook on the state of his team so far.

“We’ve been practicing for two weeks … we’re not game ready and it was quite apparent today,” Candrea said. Despite the rusty start, Candrea’s high expectations remain untouched.

“We always have high expectations, it’s a part of playing here,” said Candrea. “We all have one goal in mind, and I think everyone knows what that goal is.”

Jazmin Ponce, right, and the Arizona soccer team defeated San Francisco 2-1 on Sunday, giving the team four wins already this season after winning just four games in all of 2009. The Wildcats will open up Pacific 10 Conference play at Washington on Friday.

SOCCER continued from page 9

Wildcats enter Pac-10 play on winning streak

The goals were Mutz’s and Davis’ first of the year, and both were scored on set pieces.

“It was just important for us to score off some set plays and off dead balls. That was huge for us because we’ve been struggling with that for most of the season,” Mutz said. “I scored last year kind of off the same thing, it was exciting to do it again.”

The Dons made things interesting in the latter part of the match when they responded with a goal in the 80th minute to bring the score to 2-1.

Searching for the equalizer, USF kept the pressure on Arizona’s back four as its attack was able to set up opportunities in the box that were too close for UA’s comfort.

“Give San Francisco credit, they made it difficult and wouldn’t go away,” said head coach Lisa Oyen. “At that point in the game our biggest priority is to get out of the game with the win.”

The Wildcats (4-5-2) were ultimately able to play keep away until the final whistle, securing back-to-back wins for the first time since Sept. 11, 2009.

With Pacific 10 Conference play set to begin next weekend, Arizona got a shot in the arm with a win over USF. “It’s huge, we’ve felt good coming off one win, but to put two together back to back is huge, and we have to keep building on this,” Jett said.

VOLLEYBALL continued from page 9

National pro fast pitch All-Stars

Tonight Arizona will host the National Pro Fastpitch All-Stars at 6 at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Arizona softball legend Jennie Finch and the rest of the team will challenge the Wildcats in an exhibition game that Candrea is extremely excited about.

“For us, it’s a great opportunity for all of our young kids and everyone to get a chance to play a quality team,” Candrea said. “I’m excited to have Jennie back in town.”

In addition to Finch, former Wildcats Chelsie Mesa, Mackenzie Vandergeest and Taryne Mowatt are expected to appear.

Karst, Bannister getting more comfortable

Karst’s early struggles

According to Rubio, Courtney Karst has struggled all season with things like finding attack lines and staying aggressive. Friday, her work in practice finally made an appearance in a match.

“We’ve been working so hard with her,” Rubio said. “Tonight she didn’t start off great, but she hung out there and put up some pretty good numbers. I was proud of how she hung in there throughout the match and really toughed it out.”

Bannister to factor into rotation

Kaylen Bannister delivered a baby boy in late August, but the junior middle blocker is already back in the Arizona lineup and is being looked at to be a serious contributor.

“It’s like (Bannister) is back to being

a freshman — she’s nervous out ther and isn’t really comfortable yet,” Rubio said. “We’re slowly but surely trying to get her more minutes, and I think once she gets physically back to where she was before she was pregnant she’ll feel a lot better — but we’ve got to get her ready, that’s the bottom line for us.”

Looking ahead

The Arizona volleyball team will continue Pac-10 play when it travels to Oregon this weekend.

The Wildcats will first take on the Oregon State Beaversin Corvallis, Oreg. on Friday before heading up to Eugene, Oreg. on Saturday to take on the Oregon Ducks.

The Wildcats will return home on Oct. 15 against UCLA and Oct. 16 against Southern California.
