UA astronomy pioneer dies at 88 Researcher founded Kitt Peak Observatory, Optical Sciences Center

By Jazmine Woodberry DAILY WILDCAT

Aden Meinel, who was instrumental in the development of the UA’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory and the namesake of the Meinel Optical Sciences building, died Monday at age 88.

His research spanned from optical design to solar energy to atmospheric physics and astronomy. After earning his doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley, in the late 1940s, Meinel began scouting locations for a national observatory, noting Tucson’s Kitt Peak as one of the best sites in the nation and eventually becoming the founding director there. He became the director of Steward Observatory in 1961, and later the Optical Sciences Center in 1966.

“If you look at the strongest

departments and activities (at the UA) — astronomy and optical sciences — without his coming here, it’s doubtful that astronAden Meinel omy would be Former dept. head anything like what it has become and certainly optical sciences wouldn’t exist and those are two really renowned departments,”

said Roger Angel, UA Regents’ professor.

The founder and director of the UA Steward Observatory Mirror Lab, Angel said he would not be where he is in his career today without Meinel.

“Aden really did huge things for the university in astronomy and optical sciences,” he said. “My career would have been completely different. A lot of the things that brought me here, he was in large measure responsible for.

I probably wouldn’t have been here and if I had come, I’d probably have

ended up doing very different things.”

Peter Strittmatter, head of the UA astronomy department, agreed, saying Meinel “helped obtain the money and was the person who conceived of space astronomy here and revolutionized astronomical telescopes” on campus, of which the UA is still doing work on.

“When you think about the Tucson area, it’s often called Optics Valley – and that’s owed to Aden Meinel’s legacy,” Strittmatter said.

Plans for a memorial have yet to be announced.

“

At that point I must admit I thought a mistake had been made but that mistake never went away.”

Cars parked poorly present problems for students who commute to campus. Parking and Transportation Services regularly cites such offenses.

Parking issues cost drivers, perplex campus community

DAILY WILDCAT

rom its cost to its inconvenience, campus parking is a constant problem for many UA students.

Many students said drivers who occupy more than one space, park crookedly or park in the wrong zone only exacerbate the situation.

More than 50,000 people work, study and live on the UA campus. According to Joyce Childers, the enforcement supervisor at UA Parking and Transportation Services, there are 18,200 parking spaces campuswide, including

service spaces and motorcycle parking. A permit to park in one of the UA’s seven garages costs $568 per year.

Parking violations on campus are referred to PTS. The agency cites drivers for “parking in such a manner as to obstruct areas necessary for vehicular movement,” “parking an oversized vehicle in a compact car space so as to extend beyond the stall lines” and “parking a vehicle in a manner that prevents another vehicle from using an adjacent legal space or occupying two spaces with one vehicle,” according to the UA’s motor vehicle parking

They said it “People should learn to drive.”

With a bevy of ongoing and new sustainability projects in the works, UA students are finding many ways to make the most out of Tucson’s 350-plus days of sunshine.

The largest of these projects has been Posada San Pedro Residence Hall’s new photovoltaic solar panels.

They have been the largest solar initiative project on campus.

The project was almost entirely student-run, which was no accident; it was meant to be an educational experience.

“Yes, it’s a great sustainability project, and it’s great for the environment,” said Alex Blandeburgo, the assistant director and director of facilities for Residence Life. “But we also wanted it to be very hands on, and very educational.”

SolarCats, with some help from Students for Sustainability — the group that established the UA Green Fund — all worked together over the past three years since the project’s inception.

The project, which cost $94,000, was funded with appropriations from the Student Services Fee Board, Metropolitan Energy Commission, UA Green Fund, Tucson Luxury Power Rebate and UA Residence Life.

Brian Schmidt, a 1989 UA physics and astronomy alumnus has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics, along with two other researchers.

Schmidt, now a professor at the Australian National University, won the award with professor Adam Riess from Johns Hopkins University and professor Saul Perlmutter from the University of California, Berkeley, for their discovery that the universe is expanding at an exponentially increasing rate, driven by a force known as dark energy. The discovery was originally announced in 1998, and has been verified by Brian Schmidt several studies since then.

UA alumnus “At that point I must admit I thought a mistake had been made but that mistake never went away,” Schmidt said in an interview posted on the Nobel Prize website.

Schmidt said that, though a great deal of uncertainty about the exact nature of dark matter still exists, the current model of the universe is well known and widely accepted.

“We have an uncertainty of what the dark energy actually is, that is, why does it exist, but the model of dark energy, dark matter, normal atoms, really explains in exquisite detail the observations we make in the universe,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt could not be reached for additional comment as of press time.

department, said he remembers Schmidt as one of the UA’s “best and brightest.”

“He was clearly destined for success,” Strittmatter said. “Obviously it’s a long way from an undergraduate degree in physics to getting a Nobel Prize but he certainly showed lots of early signs.”

Strittmatter said he thinks the importance of his undergraduate work cannot be ignored.

“Brian’s achievements are his own,” he said. “But I think he got a good start here.”

Buell Jannuzi, an astronomer at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory on Tucson’s Kitt Peak, was a teaching assistant in one of Schmidt’s classes. Januzzi said that, though it is hard for him to differentiate Schmidt as an undergraduate student with him in his later academic career, he remembers Schmidt as “very inquistive.”

“He did the work he was being recognized for when he was really young too so you can see that he has a real interesting excitement in learning and in trying to understand the world and universe,” Januzzi said.

“That was evident when he was a student and has clearly carried on.”

The discovery has fundamentally changed scholastic thinking on the nature of physics and matter, Strittmatter said.

“He and his colleagues, and others, have really revolutionized the understanding, or at least thinking, about fundamental questions,” he said.

The three researchers will receive their prizes in Stockholm on Dec. 10.

Library bus books it to UA for visit

By Eliza Molk Daily Wildcat

Once a month, the Pima County Public Library comes to you.

University Libraries and the public library partner to bring the Bookmobile, a library on wheels, to the UA Mall every month. Anyone in the UA community can apply for a library card, check out more than 6,000 materials and return materials that had been checked out from any other branch of the Pima County Public Library at the Bookmobile, according to Gabrielle Sykes-Casavant, the director of marketing and public relations for University Libraries.

Sykes-Casavant said bringing the public library to campus is a cost-effective and efficient way to bring reading material to UA students, faculty and staff. She said that last spring, the Bookmobile visited campus four times and had more than 150 customers. In addition, she said nearly 100 checkouts were made and more than a dozen UA community members signed up for public library cards in the 16 hours the Bookmobile was parked on campus.

“The benefits are to campus first and foremost,” she said. “You can get all your reading materials on your way to class, on your lunch break, and you can return all books to the mobile if

generating electricity,” Weingartner said. “I want students to actually use that data, and that’s why there’s a monitoring system.”

The monitoring system is a large, touchscreen monitor mounted on the wall in the building’s lobby. The cost came to around $7,000 for the unit and its software. While Posada San Pedro is the only residence hall on campus with a collection of solar panels adorning its rooftop, Likins Hall and Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall are all equipped with similar systems. The system itself is a tool students can use to monitor electricity and water usage.

The system also converts monthly usage into identifiable units, such as plastic bottles or dishwasher loads. Weingartner said she predicts that many different fields of study will be able to use this information.

According to Weingartner, the most surprising thing about the program at Posada San Pedro was that it actually happened.

“There’s so much work involved in this,” she said. “There’s a lot of red tape, and there’s a lot of bureaucracy. You have to build relationships with all these people and the support system.

That took a while to do.”

But despite the success of Posada San Pedro Solar Powered, Weingartner said she would still like to see the UA take more thoughtful steps toward solar sustainability, and consider the inevitable technological advances in the solar energy industry.

Posada San Pedro Solar Powered is not the

you don’t have time to drop it off at the public library.”

Many first-time visitors to the Bookmobile went inside to see what materials it had.

Kate Maroney, a pre-computer science freshman, said she stepped into the moving library because she regularly checks out books since she came to college. Maroney said her visit to the Bookmobile inspired her to sign up for a public library card, because she wants to check out science fiction books.

“I will definitely come back for at least a few hours every time it (the Bookmobile) is here,” she said.

David Bradshaw, a graduate student in public administration, said he used to visit the public library over the summer but now does not “as much as he should” because he uses the university libraries. As a first-time visitor, he said he was “just browsing” the materials, but may come back to reserve items so they can be brought to him during the next Bookmobile visit.

“It’s a pretty nice service,” he said.

Though books are the Bookmobile’s biggest offering, users can also borrow magazines, DVDs and audiobooks on CD with a public library card.

Additionally, individuals can request items from other Pima County Public

only solar project students are running.

SolarCats has worked with Tucson for Sustainability to help install solar panels at Second Street Children’s School, and also designed and installed a sustainability mural on the back of Slonaker House with the help of the Honors College.

Photovoltaic peel-and-stick sheets are also on the SolarCats’ radar, according Rebecca Veach, the group’s president.

The next big sustainability program is the UA Community Garden, another joint project between Students for Sustainability and SolarCats. UA Community Garden will consist of several garden plots located on the southeast corner of Highland Avenue and Mabel Street, which will be rented out to students for as little as $10 a month. Students will be able to use their gardens to grow just about anything.

“The project is intended to teach students where food comes from, basic gardening skills, and is also a way to keep food centralized,” said Natalie Lucas, executive program director of Students for Sustainability.

But the garden itself is only one part of the project; plans to have a timed drip system and a ramada with electrical outlets — all solar powered, of course — are also in place.

According to Lucas, preliminary research is also being done to find out whether several of the university’s golf carts can be converted to run on solar power.

“Sustainability, for a long time, has been portrayed as this hippie nonsense, when really, it’s not,” Lucas said. “It’s really intelligent people trying to figure out how to use our resources in the most efficient way possible.”

and traffic regulations.

The consequence for committing one of these violations is a fine or vehicle impoundment.

According to Childers, PTS issued 1,261 citations and warnings for parking over the line, 1,339 for parking in prohibited areas, and 12,083 for driving with an improper parking permit from August 2010 to August 2011. Since the beginning of the fall semester, UA Parking and Transportation Services has given out 3,000 permit violations and warnings.

Childers said the violations can be attributed to the cost of parking permits, a shortage of spaces and the fact that the UA is an open campus, meaning some of the violations are committed by drivers outside the UA community. PTS also lost some of its officers due to budget cuts, she said. Now, only eight officers and up to four student officers patrol the parking areas.

Katherine Henderson, a creative writing sophomore, said she once noticed a “huge gash” on the side of her car when she was leaving the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage. She said a large truck had collided with her car while trying to park next to her.

“Parking spaces need to be wider, apparently,” she said.

Parking on campus is scarce, and parking poorly so that others can’t park in an adjacent space is rude, said Jessica Alexander-Dixon, a communication junior.

Alexander said she typically parks her car at a friend’s house and walks to class and that the best way to avoid parking issues is to carpool and use public transportation. “(Parking) is actually the reason I didn’t want to come to the U of A,” she said.

APAC joins employees for fair Appointed Professionals alter annual event to promote networking

By Alexandra Bortnik Daily Wildcat

The Annual Meeting of All Appointed Professionals and Employee Fair, held Tuesday in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom, included an employee fair for the first time in its history.

The employee fair comprised 25 tables that represented groups under the categories of Family Support, Personal and Professional Development, Become Involved and UA Recreation, and Fun and Enjoyment. UA President Eugene Sander also held a question and answer session with those in attendance.

Ron Wysocki, chairman of the Appointed Professionals Advisory Council and assistant staff scientist in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said that using the appointed professionals’ space to conduct the employee fair gave appointed professionals a chance to see what’s available, while simultaneously giving organizations on campus a chance to meet members.

“Our goal is to interact with other organizations on campus and this seemed to be the best way to do that,” Wysocki said. “This gives us

Glenda Roark, a consultant at the Disability Resource Center, said she found the fair helpful and informative.

“It was good to hear the president talking about the specifics he’s trying to accomplish in his short time at the university,” Roark said, “and his answers to questions were so candid and so forward.”

During his speech, Sander said one his main goals for the UA is to create a campus atmosphere in which people feel they are being treated with dignity and respect.

Sander said he wants people to be happy about coming to the UA. He also stressed the importance of employees’ involvement with local representatives, as well as the need to collectively communicate and work together to improve the university.

Kim Birmingham, chief pharmacist at Campus Health Service, said Campus Health hopes to inform employees of their resources that many UA employees aren’t utilizing, simply because they aren’t aware that they exist.

I’m trying to stay hands off in terms of the search, but with that said, your next president needs to be an absolutely splendid leader. He or she doesn’t have to be a poet or a scientist, but someone who can deal with state legislators, donors, college deans and appointed professionals. You need a people person. Their potential capability to deal with external factors is terribly, terribly important.

UA President Eugene Sander and other appointed UA professionals had a question and answer session on Tuesday in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom.

The 3,600 appointed professionals are not university faculty or staff, but they are chosen administrators, teachers and researchers, according to Ronald Wysocki, chair of the Appointed Professionals Advisory Council.

Greg Hodgins, an assistant researcher in physics and former science representative on the Appointed Professionals Advisory Council, moderated the question and answer session From a UA perspective, I’m feeling and asked a variety of questions on behalf of that we exist in competition between appointed professionals. our fellow Arizona sister schools in policy and funding.

ours — it’s just different. Our differences should be celebrated. If we took as many students as ASU did in the past few years, appointed professionals wouldn’t be here.

It’s important for this school to reach out and touch our friends up at ASU and say, “let’s celebrate these differences and quit shooting one another.” We should have competition outside of this state instead of inside of the state. We are tired of competing with each other for in state, merit based scholarships. Let’s set the price, and let the students decide where they want to be based on the merit of our programs.

ASU also did a great job with their technology transfer, and if we can collaborate with them on that, it could really save us money.

I noticed that appointed professionals don’t have performance evaluations.

Do you have ideas as to how appointed professionals should be graded?

Appointed professionals should have performance evaluations. If you don’t, there is no basis for a rewards system. The old argument is that appointed professionals aren’t getting raises anymore, so why should they have evaluations? That is a pretty lame excuse. I will try to put a little bit of muscle in the process, because I believe it is really important.

editorial Pass/Fail Are you ready for some foot-in-mouth?

Hank Williams Jr., a country singer known best for his introduction to Monday Night Football, made a controversial comparison during a chat on “Fox and Friends.” Williams was commenting on Monday about the golf pairing of President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner. Williams said he thought it was odd the two were playing together and compared it to Adolf Hitler playing golf with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. When asked to clarify, Williams said Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were “the enemy.” That evening ESPN pulled the normal introduction, a video of Williams singing the famous song “Are you ready for some football?”, from its telecast of Monday Night Football. Williams later issued a statement trying to explain the matter. Nonetheless, there’s no going back on comparing the U.S. president to a Nazi, especially not Hitler. Say what you want about Obama’s policies, but you show only insensitivity and ignorance by making such comparisons. It is absolutely disrespectful to the memories of those who suffered at the hands of the Holocaust to toss around comparisons like this. This inexcusable, ill-mannered and exaggerated rhetoric is unforgivable and stomps on the severity of the Holocaust and the persecution of the Jewish people. Williams gets the fail, but everyone who just writes this off as a case of another loudmouth who didn’t think before speaking also gets a failing grade.

This is seriously unacceptable.

FAIL

Fulbright for the win The UA has turned out 16 Fulbright Scholars, and established an all-time high for the university. While the pool of applicants also grew last year, the school expects high volume of applications this year as well. The Fulbright scholarship provides an excellent opportunity for students to take a year off from school to go out into the “real world” and travel to a foreign country to conduct research or a project. These are some of the university’s, and the country’s, brightest and best-prepared students. This scholarship provides an opportunity to have an impact on the world, even if it’s only on a small scale. No matter the impact, you can’t devalue the experience and the influence it will have on those students. The Office of Nationally Competitive Scholarships, the UA and, of course, all the applicants and award recipients have earned a pass for continuing the excellence that is expected and fostered at the UA.

Great Recession can bring out the best in very bad times

PASS

The economy is still bad, just not as bad

INCOMPLETE The economy managed to pull off some growth in the last quarter, and it was more growth than expected, but not by much.

The economy grew at a rate of 1.3 percent, which narrowly bests the expected rate of 1 percent, and jobless claims fell to their lowest total in the past five months.

Unemployment claims dropped by 37,000 to their lowest total since April. According to the McClatchy Tribune, economists say any unemployment insurance claims that come in under 400,000 are good news.

Phew! The claims are resting at 391,000, so that means we’re good there too. While the numbers are promising, they don’t really tell us much. Unemployment was still at a cripplingly high total as recently as August and another recession could still come and plague the U.S. Ultimately though, growth is good, but who deserves the credit? If you ask Republicans, they would undoubtedly say they stopped the Democrats from further wasteful spending. If you ask the Democrats, they would certainly tell you this growth is the best they could muster with those incorrigible Republicans, and we could be doing far better without the Republican meddling. Either way, you can’t get too hyped up about the limited growth. Until consistent and noticeable growth is achieved, this calls for an incomplete. We just wish we knew who to give the grade to.

F

or people who have been economywatching lately (something that has become less of a hobby and more of a necessity), the recent grim debate about whether or not the nation is about to enter a “double-dip” recession might seem a little puzzling. Judging by the most popular definition of a recession, which requires two consecutive economic quarters of negative growth, the country has indeed been out of recession for awhile now, but there is doubt as to whether it will remain that way.

Economic indicators may say that there is no recession, and that is empirically accurate, of course, but human hearts will tell you that the feeling rather than the economic concept of the “Great Recession” has done anything but passed.

Not since the Great Depression have the people of this country been subjected to such a beating at the hands of their economy. Prospects are low, moods are fearful and recessional defeatism is as popular as reality TV. But it doesn’t have to be.

In the comparison to the Great Depression, one that is made with the full knowledge that it has already become a tired cliché, the tools can be found to turn the Great Recession into an asset rather than a liability. The mentality with which we approach our monetary reality is all in our heads, and therefore entirely within our own power to change. So what can we gain when

“Not since the Great Depression have the people of this country been subjected to such a beating at the hands of their economy.

Prospects are low, moods are fearful, and recessional defeatism is as popular as reality TV. But it doesn’t have to be.”

we seemingly don’t have anything to gain?

Strength, ingenuity and even real humanity, to name just a few.

We could take a page from older days and learn to survive in difficult times.

Nowadays we grow complacent, and in complacency lose something essentially human, or we grow restless. But when figurative harvests are lean, meat scarce and yes, stocks low with the unemployment rates high, we can truly come alive if we allow ourselves to. Certainly the sane part of our brains is despairing, and rightly so, but somewhere deep down in the animal center we’re laughing maniacally. That animal core is the part of us that is the Dirty Harry to our rational and weary-minded operator. Our animal instinct says, “at long last, a challenge!” Then we ask ourselves

with a wry smile whether we feel lucky.

Humans have always had the potential to advance during adversity. We came to dominate the world as a species, after all, and that’s a fair bit more difficult to handle than any economic downturn. Many people are asking how they are going to survive, but if they’d let their essentially human impulse loose they’d be asking how they could thrive and how could they come to conquer. The interesting thing about our species is that the clever ones have always seen desolation as a blank canvas, something to be created upon rather than feared.

When you think about it, why in goodness’ name would anyone try to “win the West” or try to find out what’s on the moon, or out in space? That sounds risky.

And yet, in both those instances, humans rushed headlong into both those places.

Why not dive into the Great Recession with the same abandon?

None of this purposefully underplays the desperation that this economic situation engenders. It will be a hard and painful journey regardless. But the question that’s left to our own spirits is whether it will be a grind to the glorious finish or to the point where we can’t go on anymore. A thousand generations from Homo Erectus to Hoovertown residents did it, so why can’t we? It’s only a matter of standing your ground, and then advancing it.

A double-dip recession? Bring it on.

Online comments No tax payments, no school In response to “Alabama Immigration law undermines education” (Oct. 3 issue): I think the problems in the education system in the U.S. are caused by just such illegal immigrants’ children being given the benefit of their “constitutional right to primary and secondary education.” These rights are constitutional, and if the parents are illegal, obviously they are not subject to, or entitled to, the constitutional rights of the U.S. If they are here legally, registered and paying taxes which support the education system, their children should benefit from that.

Otherwise, it is just children whose parents do not pay taxes being given the benefit of the education paid for by those who do. This is why we as a nation cannot support the poor — many that are receiving the benefits are not contributing anything.

Great news! All illegal invaders should be considering going home soon. Next up, punish the employers that hired their parents, fine and jail them.

The problem is not affirmative action, the problem is why this policy ever became necessary. For every five people that are upset about it, there’s another 25 out there that are doing exactly what the policy set out to fight.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Vandal sneers at cheer A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the Cherry Avenue Parking Garage on Sept. 26 in response to a report of intentional vandalism on students’ cars. The officer spoke with a member of the UA cheer squad, who said her car had been damaged. She left her car in the garage around 6:45 a.m. and returned at 9 a.m. to find the words “fuck cheer,” scratched into the right rear door. The woman said she did not have any rivalries in the athletic department or any enemies.

Two other cheer squad members heard about the incident and discovered their cars had been scratched with the same message. Nothing posted in or on their vehicles indicated the owners were associated with the cheer squad. The officer took photos of the damage and placed them into UAPD property and evidence.

Bamboozled Blackberry A UAPD officer met with an Arizona Athletics employee on Sept. 26 in response to a report of stolen property. The man told the officer he had an equipment manager park his truck in the Cherry Avenue Parking Garage on Sept. 24 around 6 p.m. When the man went to his truck after the game around 11 p.m., his Blackberry phone and Panasonic digital camcorder were missing, as was his game day parking permit. The phone and camcorder belonged to the UA. The man said the phone was no longer in service, but it still contained contact numbers for UA coaches and players. He did not suspect the equipment manager of taking the items. The officer contacted the equipment manager, who said he was pretty sure he locked the truck and remembered seeing the permit and the phone in the truck when he left it. Victim’s rights forms were completed for the UAPD.

Lost keys A UAPD officer spoke with a woman over the phone on Sept. 26 who reported she lost her keys. The woman said she placed the keys in her bag before the football game on Sept. 24 and went to a tailgate near University Boulevard and Cherry Avenue. When she checked her bag on Sept. 26, she realized her keys were missing. The woman searched her room and retraced her steps but was unable to find the keys. Her keyring held an assortment of keys an a metal, teal container. The officer advised the woman to check with property and evidence over the next few days.

Parking signs seized A Parking and Transportation employee contacted UAPD on Sept. 26 to report stolen parking signs. She told the officer that four parking signs were missing from First Street and Warren Avenue. The signs had been affixed to the old parking meter posts and denoted the numbered parking spots. The value of the signs is unknown. The woman called the officer back a few minutes after she hung up and said one of the signs had been found. The other three signs have not been recovered.

Film, music fest forges ahead

By Cecelia Marshall Daily Wildcat

The seventh annual Tucson Film and Music Festival kicks off this weekend.

More than 4,000 attendees will gather in Tucson for this multi-day event, which brings together the past, present and future of the Tucson and Southwest film and music scenes.

The event showcases movies, short films and documentaries, but also boasts a musical element. The festival celebrates films that are musically driven and also hosts live musical performances.

The festival starts Thursday and lasts until Monday. It will screen dozens of films, including 15 submissions from UA film school graduates and local filmmakers.

Michael Toubassi, the festival director, is a Tucson native who wrote, directed and produced multiple documentaries and short independent films including “Going Back to Tucson.” Toubassi said he likes to let others get in on the fun of festivals.

“The energy is electrifying — you have the chance to see films before most people, often with the filmmakers in attendance,” Toubassi said. “It’s about being a part of an extended community and getting great entertainment value for the cost.”

The festival also holds question and answer sessions, in which the audience has the rare opportunity to interact with attending filmmakers, actors and documentary subjects.

Toubassi said he was also proud of the festival because it provides a chance to see movies that would otherwise not play in Tucson theaters.

He was excited to provide opportunities for UA students and alumni.

For example, the Tucson Film and Music Festival will host the world premiere of “Shine From the Valley,” a student-faculty collaboration. This

music video by Mitzi Cowell was inspired by the shooting on Jan. 8., which killed six people and wounded 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Among the varied offerings at this festival is the headliner of this year’s festival, “Barbershop Punk,” a documentary feature which will premiere for the first time in Arizona on Thursday. Written and directed

by Georgia Archer, associate director of “The Real World,” this documentary tells the true story of an average man who unearths the secrets of the Internet and discovers that large corporations are slowing down our connections to certain websites and activities, thus limiting our free exchange of information. The film highlights crucial subjects of net neutrality, free information in cyberspace and the power to challenge the status quo.

Well...that was awkward

Four songs to avoid while driving with your parents It’s happened to everyone — that terrifying moment when you’re at the wheel with Mom or Dad riding shotgun and that song inevitably comes on. It throws your drive straight into an awkward frenzy as you try to change the music — and the conversation — while making things irreparably uncomfortable. To avoid getting caught in this scene, remove these from your playlist before joyriding with Grandma.

By K.C. Libman Daily Wildcat

“When The President Talks To God,” Bright Eyes

Is your father or mother a conservative, right-wing Republican? Have you been looking to get into a politically based screaming match lately regarding the Bush administration? Then Conor Oberst has just the song for you.

This scathing, yelping cut that was released as a First Day of My Life B-side has every eyebrowraising element that you could look for in a protest song.

“Radicals,” Tyler, the Creator

With the world’s most offensive hook ever (pulled from his younger brother’s debut album, Earl Sweatshirt’s Earl), this gem off of Tyler’s latest release, Goblin, would have Howard Stern blushing like a schoolgirl and Eazy-E’s lighter raised to the heavens. The entire song is basically NSFW (not safe for work indeed), but Tyler’s signature rasp shifts and slides over an off-kilter beat that’s reminiscent of a Pharrell production gone all kinds of awry, making for a can’t-pull-your-earsaway train wreck of a track.

“Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” Katy Perry

Hide your little sister, and possibly your mother — Katy’s stringing together anything risque that rhymes, and uses the phrase “epic fail” to boot (what year are we in again?).

Unless you feel like explaining to your passengers why the menage-a-trois in the blacked-out blur of last weekend ruled, steer clear of this track. The beat is catchy and danceable, of course, but let’s be honest: Katy Perry isn’t something you should be listening to with your parents … or by yourself for that matter.

“The 4th Branch,” Immortal Technique

Yes, he wrote “Dance with the Devil,” and yes, he’s a hell of a rapper.

The material Technique covers leaves no governmental or racial group untouched. If your parents can follow his flow, Tech will take them on quite the ride, expressing his views on media, political and social agendas which are prime to confuse, offend or even enlighten. Risktakers can turn this one up to 11 and buckle up for the ride, but maybe it’s best to play it safe and save the folks from squirming in their seats.

movie Review

‘50/50’: 100 percent good

By Josh Weisman Daily Wildcat

Sincerely written and performed with an equal degree of affection, “50/50” arrives at the sunset of September to challenge the oncepopular notion that autumn is no place for Oscar-caliber work. An out-of-nowhere masterpiece from director Jonathan Levine (who previously brought us 2008’s criminally underseen “The Wackness”), the film pulls off what few before it have even dared to attempt, availing itself of a notoriously touchy subject (cancer) with such lighthearted dexterity as to make creating a comedy of it seem almost effortless.

Speculation is that screenwriter Will Reiser might see a well-deserved “Best Original Screenplay” nod for his script (originally titled “I’m With Cancer”).

The story, based on Reiser’s reallife battle with cancer, follows diffident radio producer Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a 27-year-old neat freak whose only knowledge of the word “risk” involves crossing the street without a proper “walk” signal.

After being told of his affliction with a rare form of spinal cancer, he enters a staggeringly funny and emotionally charged journey toward happiness and acceptance, ultimately coming face-to-face with death and — in a sequence that should rightfully earn Gordon-Levitt an Oscar nod— acknowledging his fear of it.

There’s little not to love about “50/50.” One of its best elements is the tear-inducingly genuine relationship between Adam and his best friend, Kevin (played by a surprisingly toned-down Seth Rogen). Anjelica Huston, too, is marvelous as Adam’s overbearing mother, and Anna Kendrick makes for an adorably modest love interest in her portrayal of fresh-faced psychologist Katie McCay. Film experts will also be impressed by the film’s editing, and perhaps even more so with cinematographer Terry Stacey’s understated handheld approach to the material.

But the real winner (as stated before) is Reiser’s script, which is written with such spirited authenticity that it’s no surprise to hear it’s the result of personal experience.

“50/50” draws humor from the most unexpected places, teetering the line between comedy and drama with an almost cheeky sort of confidence that is quite rare among films of this day and age. What we’re left with, then, is a gift: a film that’s as funny as it is genuinely touching, whose only goal is to remind us that, at the end of the day, even in the darkest of circumstances, sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves is laugh.

Replacing Ibekwe Maryland AD takes shot at UA basketball Anderson tells media Miller asked for special admits

By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

Gordon Bates/ Daily Wildcat

Then-forward Ify Ibekwe goes up for a shot during a game against North Texas last season in McKale Center. Ibekwe was drafted in the second round of the 2011 WNBA Draft and leaves a hole on and off the court for the Wildcats this season.

It’s rebounding by committee for women’s basketball

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

Former Arizona star forward Ify Ibekwe was drafted in the second round by the Seattle Storm during the 2011 WNBA Draft, and now Arizona is faced with the tough task of replacing her production.

Last year, Ibekwe was the catalyst behind a 21-12 season for the women’s basketball team. She led Arizona with 16.1 points per game, 9.8 rebounds per game and 2.3 steals per game Head coach Niya Butts said she believes that replacing that

productivity won’t be on the shoulders of one player.

“You do it by committee,” Butts said. “We think we have a number of people. You just have to pick it up at each spot.

“You don’t ask a single person to

give the production she had,” Butts added. “You ask the team to replace that production, and, if everyone can just pick it up a notch, we’re going to be OK.” The scoring aspect of Ibekwe’s game is what made her so dangerous, and it is that scoring production that needs to be divvied up among the 2011-12 team. Butts expects junior guard Davellyn Whyte to not only score some points for the team, but to inherit that leadership role Ibekwe carried the last few seasons. “(Davellyn has) been pretty special the past two years so we don’t expect anything different this year,” Butts said. “We expect more leadership from her, especially vocally.

University of Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson took a jab at Arizona Athletics in an interview with Mike Wise of the Washington Post.

Anderson, who tried to lure men’s basketball coach Sean Miller to Maryland during the summer, told the Post in a Sept. 4 Kevin Anderson article that the University of two reached a disagreement Maryland about admission Athletic director standards for athletes at a meeting in Las Vegas in early May. “It’s not that I couldn’t promise him (special admits), I wasn’t going to do that,” Anderson told the Post of the meeting with Miller. “I don’t know what they’re doing where he is (Arizona) but, you know, we’re not doing that.”

Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne declined to comment on the matter.

UA associate athletics director for compliance Bill Morgan said that Anderson’s assertion that Arizona allows academic special admits was

off base.

“We don’t do that here,” Morgan said. “I’m not sure what (Anderson) was referring to.”

Two unnamed sources told Wise that Miller wanted special admits, a term used for allowing freshmen whom failed to meet exact NCAA standards but possess special talents, “most of whom are African American, from inner cities,” to enroll in a university.

Anderson wouldn’t budge, and Wise wrote that “the ‘chemistry’ wasn’t great between the two men.”

The Post columnist also added that “many other coaches would have asked for the same” special admits.

Special admits can be defined as follows: “A student-athlete may be admitted under a special exception to the institution’s normal entrance requirements if the discretionary authority of the president or chancellor (or designated admissions officer or committee) to grant such exceptions is set forth in an official document published by the university (e.g., official catalog) that describes the institution’s admissions requirements,” according to NCAA Bylaw 14.1.5.1.1.

The UA’s undergraduate application states, “In the non-academic aspects of your application, we look at your activities summary and your unique life experiences, attributes, achievements and talents, as well as your personal statement.”

Hank Hobson thrown into Wildcats’ linebacker mix NAME: Hank Hobson CLASS: Freshman POSITION: Linebacker HOMETOWN: Bakersfield, Calif.

HIGH SCHOOL: Stockdale HEIGHT: 6-foot-2 WEIGHT: 220 pounds AGE: 19 OTHER OFFERS: Nevada with interest from Boise State, California, Oregon State, Colorado State STATISTICS: • 5 games played • 7 tackles • 3 tackles against USC

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

Even Mike Stoops will admit it — Arizona’s defense has holes all over the field.

From defensive line to linebacker to cornerback, the Wildcats are struggling to find the right combination of personnel that gives them a chance to win on Saturdays. But after Arizona’s game against USC last week, UA defensive coordinator Tim Kish seems to have found at least one solution: freshman linebacker Hank Hobson.

Hobson made his first career start against the Trojans on Saturday, recorded three tackles and impressed Kish with his never-ending motor. Coaches and players have criticized the Wildcats’ inability to play hard, and Kish said his main priority is to “see us play with tremendous heart for 60 minutes.”

That won’t be a problem with Hobson.

“He’s just a nasty guy that’s a competitor, and he may have been one of the guys that played the hardest in the game on Saturday,” Kish said. “We’re thrilled about the addition and what he brings to the table, and hopefully he’ll just keep getting better each week.”

Since losing starter Jake Fischer to an ACL injury in the offseason, the Wildcats have been scrambling for an answer at linebacker. Junior college transfer David Lopez appeared to be the favorite throughout training camp, but he fell out of favor as the season approached.

Kish then gave the nod to highly-touted freshman Rob Hankins to start the year. The 6-foot-1, 220pound Hankins — who turned down offers from Arkansas, Miami, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, and several other schools — showed promise early in the season with 10 tackles through the first

Foles, Zendejas both choke like Eli ... or not

By Emi Komiya This week, Arizona students discuss Wildcat football and other sports.

Daily Wildcat: So, what is your take on this year’s football team?

McCormick: Terrible.

Weise: Disappointing. The defense crumbles big time.

What do you think of Nick Foles?

McCormick: Him and (Alex) Zendejas both choke constantly. They remind me of like Eli Manning on the New York Giants.

Weise: He’s good. OK, Foles does not choke.

McCormick: Yes, he does.

Weise: No, he doesn’t.

McCormick: Yes, he does.

Weise: No. McCormick: Yes, he does!

Weise: For a fifth-year senior, he is good.

McCormick: No, for a fifth-year senior, he is completely inconsistent, I guess is a better word to say.

Would you guys ever draft Foles onto your fantasy football team based on stats now?

Anderson

she does with a basketball-wise ‌ she’s proven that,â€? Butts added. “What we need her to do is step up as that vocal leader; take the next kid on and move on.â€?

Last year, Whyte was fourth in the Pacific 10 Conference in scoring, averaging 15.8 points per game. She was also eighth with 1.94 steals per outing.

Whyte, who considered her relationship with Ibekwe strong, feels like she is ready to follow in Ibekwe’s footsteps and be the leader for the Wildcats. “Just seeing to where she is now, I just know what I need to do to get where she is,� said Whyte, who believes the team is ready to move on without their former leader. “I wouldn’t necessarily say we’re

like that.

McCormick: No. Weise: I don’t know about that one. He’d be like one of the bottom ones.

Daily Wildcat

Do you follow any UA women’s sports?

McCormick: Uh, no, I don’t.

Weise: Yeah, women’s basketball, I do.

Do you guys have a favorite Arizona basketball player?

McCormick: Um, Jesse Perry, cuz he’s over at my apartment all the time.

Weise: Yeah, mine’s Brendon Lavender just because I went to school with him.

Michael McCormick Have you made a Environmental sciences sophomore poster for Lavender or anything?

Weise: No. (laughs) Not that extreme, no.

Do you help Perry out with the maintenance on his hair?

McCormick: He doesn’t really like ‌ I don’t know if I can comment on it but he said it took a long, long time to get it

language, social science and fine arts.

While special admits are often due to failing to meet academic requirements, athletes admitted past deadlines also fall under the category. So technically, an athlete with a 4.0 GPA that was admitted after failing to meet the application deadline would be classified as a special admit.

Wise’s column, titled “Kevin Anderson

trying to keep Maryland out of Miami’s predicament,� was about Anderson’s goal in avoiding the Miami Hurricanes’ situation following a scandal involving a booster that provided a number of improper benefits to recruits and student athletes.

Anderson’s comments come as Miller has secured what Rivals.com calls the nation’s No. 4 recruiting class for 2011 and the No. 3 class for 2012.

replacing her because she was a really good player, but as for filling in spots and doing what we need to do, I think we can do it as a team.�

best center recruit in the nation by ESPN, she was a two-time regional player of the year, four-time All-State member and holds her high school’s single-game records for points (37), rebounds (23) and blocks (12).

Rohde, who is 6-foot-5, is far and away the tallest player on the team, but realizes that won’t make her a lock for playing time. “I know I have to work hard for it, and that’s my aim, to work hard to get my spot,� Rohde said. “I need the month before the first game to be there and ready.�

While the rest of the team has high expectations for the freshman, Rohde has also set her goals high in her first year. “I would definitely like to get Pac-12 freshman of the year, but I know that is a lot of work,� Rohde said. “I definitely am willing to work hard for that though.�

Filling in the paint A big reason why the team is not panicking at the loss of Ibekwe is because of the vast potential they see in freshman center Aley Rohde. “Aley Rohde, as a freshman, I don’t want to get to far ahead of myself, but she is shaping up pretty nicely,� Butts said. “Right now it’s going to be hard not to have her on the floor.�

But, after the Stanford loss, Stoops said Hankins became “overwhelmed� by playing middle linebacker at such a high level, and it showed in the freshman’s play.

Hankins rarely saw the field against Oregon and stood on the sideline against USC, leaving the door wide open for Hobson to make his first career start. “I just felt like he was ready to play, and I was ready to make a change and see what he can do and he did an admirable job,� Kish said.

Replacing Ibekwe Maryland AD takes shot at UA basketball Anderson tells media Miller asked for special admits

By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

Gordon Bates/ Daily Wildcat

Then-forward Ify Ibekwe goes up for a shot during a game against North Texas last season in McKale Center. Ibekwe was drafted in the second round of the 2011 WNBA Draft and leaves a hole on and off the court for the Wildcats this season.

It’s rebounding by committee for women’s basketball

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

Former Arizona star forward Ify Ibekwe was drafted in the second round by the Seattle Storm during the 2011 WNBA Draft, and now Arizona is faced with the tough task of replacing her production.

Last year, Ibekwe was the catalyst behind a 21-12 season for the women’s basketball team. She led Arizona with 16.1 points per game, 9.8 rebounds per game and 2.3 steals per game Head coach Niya Butts said she believes that replacing that

“You don’t ask a single person to give the production (Ibekwe) had.

You ask the team to replace that production and if everyone can just pick it up a notch we’re going to be OK.” ­— Niya Butts Women’s basketball head coach

productivity won’t be on the shoulders of one player.

“You do it by committee,” Butts said. “We think we have a number of people. You just have to pick it up at each spot.

“You don’t ask a single person to

give the production she had,” Butts added. “You ask the team to replace that production, and, if everyone can just pick it up a notch, we’re going to be OK.” The scoring aspect of Ibekwe’s game is what made her so dangerous, and it is that scoring production that needs to be divvied up among the 2011-12 team. Butts expects junior guard Davellyn Whyte to not only score some points for the team, but to inherit that leadership role Ibekwe carried the last few seasons. “(Davellyn has) been pretty special the past two years so we don’t expect anything different this year,” Butts said. “We expect more leadership from her, especially vocally.

University of Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson took a jab at Arizona Athletics in an interview with Mike Wise of the Washington Post.

Anderson, who tried to lure men’s basketball coach Sean Miller to Maryland during the summer, told the Post in a Sept. 4 Kevin Anderson article that the University of two reached a disagreement Maryland about admission Athletic director standards for athletes at a meeting in Las Vegas in early May. “It’s not that I couldn’t promise him (special admits), I wasn’t going to do that,” Anderson told the Post of the meeting with Miller. “I don’t know what they’re doing where he is (Arizona) but, you know, we’re not doing that.”

Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne declined to comment on the matter.

UA associate athletics director for compliance Bill Morgan said that Anderson’s assertion that Arizona allows academic special admits was

off base.

“We don’t do that here,” Morgan said. “I’m not sure what (Anderson) was referring to.”

Two unnamed sources told Wise that Miller wanted special admits, a term used for allowing freshmen whom failed to meet exact NCAA standards but possess special talents, “most of whom are African American, from inner cities,” to enroll in a university.

Anderson wouldn’t budge, and Wise wrote that “the ‘chemistry’ wasn’t great between the two men.”

The Post columnist also added that “many other coaches would have asked for the same” special admits.

Special admits can be defined as follows: “A student-athlete may be admitted under a special exception to the institution’s normal entrance requirements if the discretionary authority of the president or chancellor (or designated admissions officer or committee) to grant such exceptions is set forth in an official document published by the university (e.g., official catalog) that describes the institution’s admissions requirements,” according to NCAA Bylaw 14.1.5.1.1.

The UA’s undergraduate application states, “In the non-academic aspects of your application, we look at your activities summary and your unique life experiences, attributes, achievements and talents, as well as your personal statement.”

Hank Hobson thrown into Wildcats’ linebacker mix NAME: Hank Hobson CLASS: Freshman POSITION: Linebacker HOMETOWN: Bakersfield, Calif.

HIGH SCHOOL: Stockdale HEIGHT: 6-foot-2 WEIGHT: 220 pounds AGE: 19 OTHER OFFERS: Nevada with interest from Boise State, California, Oregon State, Colorado State STATISTICS: • 5 games played • 7 tackles • 3 tackles against USC

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

Even Mike Stoops will admit it — Arizona’s defense has holes all over the field.

From defensive line to linebacker to cornerback, the Wildcats are struggling to find the right combination of personnel that gives them a chance to win on Saturdays. But after Arizona’s game against USC last week, UA defensive coordinator Tim Kish seems to have found at least one solution: freshman linebacker Hank Hobson.

Hobson made his first career start against the Trojans on Saturday, recorded three tackles and impressed Kish with his never-ending motor. Coaches and players have criticized the Wildcats’ inability to play hard, and Kish said his main priority is to “see us play with tremendous heart for 60 minutes.”

That won’t be a problem with Hobson.

“He’s just a nasty guy that’s a competitor, and he may have been one of the guys that played the hardest in the game on Saturday,” Kish said. “We’re thrilled about the addition and what he brings to the table, and hopefully he’ll just keep getting better each week.”

Since losing starter Jake Fischer to an ACL injury in the offseason, the Wildcats have been scrambling for an answer at linebacker. Junior college transfer David Lopez appeared to be the favorite throughout training camp, but he fell out of favor as the season approached.

Kish then gave the nod to highly-touted freshman Rob Hankins to start the year. The 6-foot-1, 220pound Hankins — who turned down offers from Arkansas, Miami, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, and several other schools — showed promise early in the season with 10 tackles through the first

Foles, Zendejas both choke like Eli ... or not

By Emi Komiya This week, Arizona students discuss Wildcat football and other sports.

Daily Wildcat: So, what is your take on this year’s football team?

McCormick: Terrible.

Weise: Disappointing. The defense crumbles big time.

What do you think of Nick Foles?

McCormick: Him and (Alex) Zendejas both choke constantly. They remind me of like Eli Manning on the New York Giants.

Weise: He’s good. OK, Foles does not choke.

McCormick: Yes, he does.

Weise: No, he doesn’t.

McCormick: Yes, he does.

Weise: No. McCormick: Yes, he does!

Weise: For a fifth-year senior, he is good.

McCormick: No, for a fifth-year senior, he is completely inconsistent, I guess is a better word to say.

Would you guys ever draft Foles onto your fantasy football team based on stats now?

Last year, Whyte was fourth in the Pacific 10 Conference in scoring, averaging 15.8 points per game. She was also eighth with 1.94 steals per outing.

Whyte, who considered her relationship with Ibekwe strong, feels like she is ready to follow in Ibekwe’s footsteps and be the leader for the Wildcats. “Just seeing to where she is now, I just know what I need to do to get where she is,� said Whyte, who believes the team is ready to move on without their former leader. “I wouldn’t necessarily say we’re

While special admits are often due to failing to meet academic requirements, athletes admitted past deadlines also fall under the category. So technically, an athlete with a 4.0 GPA that was admitted after failing to meet the application deadline would be classified as a special admit.

“Even though we haven’t won a ball game yet, I still think that there’s gradual growth in this team each game.”
