Complaint targets ASA donation BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

A complaint filed against a political action committee regarding their acceptance of a campaign contribution may not have grounds for legal action, according to a preliminary review by the Arizona Secretary of State’s office.

The office received a complaint on Thursday from Shawnna Bolick, a 2010 candidate for Arizona’s House District 11 and the wife of Clint Bolick, the Goldwater Institute’s executive

Q&A Senator plans for parking reform

vice president of litigation. Despite the relation, Goldwater External Affairs Manager Lucy Caldwell said the organization has no hand in the complaint, which alleges that the Arizona Students’ Association illegally contributed money to the Quality Education and Jobs political committee in support of Proposition 204.

In the complaint, Bolick cited an ASA violation of bylaws as a result of their approval of this contribution.

Bolick asked that the office order the committee to return money received

from ASA. “This money belongs to Arizona’s public university students and it may not be used for political purposes without their consent,” Bolick wrote in her complaint. “This is particularly so when a select group of ASA board members and officers wield power to suppress votes in violation of the governing bylaws.”

Bolick mentioned a suppression of votes from ASU directors, which resulted in the ASA director’s breach of “duties of loyalty to the organization and to all public university students

across Arizona.”

Although the internal review of the complaint has not yet been completed and a response has not been sent, the preliminary look indicates there might not be a violation of campaign finance law, according to Matt Roberts, the director of communications with the secretary of state’s office.

“We believe that we may not have any jurisdiction over a violation of what they suspect of ASA’s bylaws,” Roberts said. “We would only be concerned that the contribution and/ or expenditure would be properly

reported on QEJ’s campaign finance report, and, from what I remember, they did report that correctly.”

Some members of the committee have referred to the complaint as “frivolous” and believe it will be dismissed by the secretary of state’s office.

“This is not a campaign finance issue,” said Ann-Eve Pedersen, chair of the Quality Education and Jobs Committee in an email. “It’s an issue related to the Arizona Students’

With trip to Middle East, students get hands-on architectural training

RACHEL MCCLUSKEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

After just being announced the winner of ASUA’s special senatorial election last Thursday, Morgan Abraham can already be found hanging out in the ASUA office at the Student Union Memorial Center. Abraham, an engineering management junior and the president of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, will be ratified at the senate’s meeting on Wednesday.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat caught up with Abraham to get an idea of his goals for his senatorial term.

Why did you choose the UA rather than ASU? It was always going to be instate for me, and I just found love here when I visited the campus.

I had a lot of friends coming and it just made sense. I definitely don’t look back — it was the best decision I ever made. And then on

While abroad, group presented design concepts to city mayor to help restore neighborhoods YARA ASKAR Arizona Daily Wildcat

While many college students complete hands-on work experience within the Tucson community, a dozen architecture students traveled to the Middle East to aid in an urban revitalization project.

Students in the international studio class in the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture traveled to Muscat, Oman for twoand-a-half weeks to develop different concepts for revitalizing areas, which will be presented to Muscat Mayor Sultan Bin Hamdoon Al Harthi.

In 12 days worth of work, the students generated five different concepts on how to revitalize a dense multicultural neighborhood in Muscat, said Mark Frederickson, an associate professor of landscape architecture.

The mayor then chose the best elements in each proposed concept, which will be used in one final concept to be presented again, Frederickson added.

In the upcoming eight weeks, the students will be working on putting together a 200-page monograph book describing the revitalization

master plan that includes the final research idea that will detail the mayor’s comments from each of the original five concepts. This, too, will be presented to Muscat leaders, Frederickson said.

Through this project, students begin to see the world in a more accessible way, he said.

“One thing that you begin to see, the world is not such a scary place and the commonality becomes more apparent,” he said.

These international projects will not only help prepare students in their professional careers, but also help them appreciate the cultural differences and adapt to the environmental context of the country, he added.

“There is nothing quite like working with international colleagues and forming new friendships, and that’s the personal growth,” Frederickson said. “The professional growth keeps them flexible in that they see the developmental project in a different dimensional perspective, and helps them be creative in generating alternative solutions.”

Many students who attended the trip remained open-minded about their experience, like Daniel Aros, an architecture senior. Aros said that this project was the closest he ever got

to dealing with real-life issues in an economic and cultural perspective.

“This class was probably the best last step for me in my undergraduate [studies] before trying to step into the professional world,” Aros said.

For other students, this was their first project that involved a cross-cultural element.

Levi Van Buggenum, an architecture senior, said in addition to the project being more complex, he learned how to take difficult issues and break them down into small chunks to work with.

Yet, in addition to learning more about architecture, Buggenum said he felt more educated and well-rounded about the cultural and social issues different countries face.

“You can definitely see dramatic differences between the culture there and the culture here,” he said.

According to Frederickson, students returned with an intangible graciousness, and learned the importance of family and developmental issues that they saw around the world.

“This is our way of giving them confidence to go out and play with the big kids,” Frederickson said.

Dashboard to give inside look at UA energy DAVID WEISSMAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

Facilities Management is trading in the standard metering system for an online dashboard that shows the energy usage for a number of buildings on campus.

Buildings include the 21 residence halls as well as the Park Student Union and the Chemical Sciences building. The software for the dashboard system totaled to around $200,000, said Chris Kopach, the assistant vice president of Facilities Management.

Users can see how much energy the building

has used so far that day, by the hour, or that week, month or academic year. The dashboard also provides data on the hall’s usage of electricity, cooling, heating, water and carbon dioxide emissions.

According to Kopach, the eventual goal is to get every building on campus on the system, tentatively within the next year. This means putting more than 700 energy meters online.

Kopach said that the ability to read energy use in real-time is beneficial for Facilities Management, as it makes maintenance of the meters easier and makes the process much more efficient.

“The entire campus continues to be conscious regarding sustainability efforts,” he said. “Everybody is really into making sure we’re being as efficient and sustainable as possible.”

Natalie Lucas, an environmental science and philosophy, politics, economics and law senior and the executive director of Students for Sustainability, emphasized the importance of the dashboard for sustainability efforts on campus.

“I think it will be good because we can understand more where our energy is coming from and more directly attack the

problems that we’re having with energy usage,” she said. “It gives us a really clear sense of what we’re doing right and what we’re doing wrong, and then how we can remediate some of those things.”

According to Jill Ramirez, coordinator of Sustainability Education for Residence Life, the dashboard has also aided her office’s efforts. The Battle of the Utilities, an energy usage competition in the residence halls, will run from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1 this year. With thwe new dashboard, students will be able to check their hall’s progress throughout the month.

Since you are an engineering management major, where did the interest to run for ASUA senate come from?

I’m currently the president of my fraternity of 150 guys, so I’ve always been a leadership type of a person.

I’ve always enjoyed being involved and making a difference. Politics is my second passion so it made sense. I love it, and I love being able to help out. I’m just kind of learning and contributing. They already have an amazing senate team. I’m just hoping to add a little bit to it.

What is your platform and does your platform resemble Claire Theobald’s? She focused on creating an officer or board to check on the senate and changing the ASUA bylaws for a more open government with more realistic plans.

My platform is not similar to hers, but it does offer great ideas. Mine is more focusing on Spring Fling, moving it hopefully to campus one day. I’m not saying it will be this Spring Fling — that’s already been planned — but to start making strides to work toward that.

Do you have any idea how you will achieve your goals?

I’m only a senator-elect right now, but the way I understand it is it’s the Parking and Transportation Services. If you read my platform, the money is there. We pay $150 per semester to use the Rec. It’s not, in my opinion, about the money, it’s about how we make it so people don’t park there all day and get a free parking pass. I think that’s possible if we work with PTS.

of the organization’s student fee spending and their inability to speak out against it. Following the resignations, a Goldwater Institute report questioned the use of a $2 semesterly student fee, some of which ASA used to donate in support of Proposition 204.

King explained that ASA directors would discuss ideas to restructure the organization at the Conference of Arizona Student Leaders this upcoming weekend. As a board, the directors will figure out what needs to be restructured, as well as the timeline of how to implement changes, King said.

“It’s something that’s going to take time, but I think we’re all on the same page right now,” he added. “We all want to see this be a more successful organization than it is, because as much as I’ll argue that it’s a great organization … not having student body presidents in here, it does hurt us.”

Some ASA directors stressed that the organization chooses to support issues based solely off the benefits provided for students.

“We don’t pick things that go under political agendas,” said Jordan King, ASA’s vice chairman of the board of directors and chairman of internal affairs. “If an issue falls under a political agenda we don’t pick it based off that. We pick it based off its usefulness to the students.”

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE MITT ROMNEY greets supporters after speaking at a campaign rally at Victory Landing Park in Newport News, Va., on Monday, Oct. 8, 2012. Romney recently critcized Obama’s foreign policy, calling for a stronger national security policy.

Romney slams strength of current foreign policy MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

LEXINGTON, Va. — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney slammed his rival’s international strategy as weak Monday in a speech at Virginia Military Institute.

But many of the remarks in his critique didn’t pass the truth test, and despite his tough tone, the foreign-policy positions he outlined hewed close to those already held

by President Obama.

“I believe that if America does not lead, others will — others who do not share our interests and our values — and the world will grow darker, for our friends and for us,” Romney said. “America’s security and the cause of freedom cannot afford four more years like the last four years.”

The speech lambasted Obama’s response to the Arab Spring, specifically his administration’s handling of the violent attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

“I want to be very clear: The blame for the murder of our people in Libya, and the attacks on our embassies in so many other countries, lies solely with those who carried them out — no one else,” Romney said. “But it is our responsibility and the responsibility of our president to use America’s great power to shape history — not to lead from behind, leaving our destiny at the mercy of events. Unfortunately, that is exactly where we find ourselves in the Middle East under President Obama.”

In the address before more than 500 Virginia Military Institute cadets and local supporters in Lexington, Va., the former Massachusetts governor made his case to

voters that he would be a more capable commander in chief than Obama.

Romney said Obama “missed an historic opportunity” to provide leadership during his term, a time of great upheaval in the Middle East.

As president, Romney said, he would work with U.S. partners to arm rebels in Syria, make aid to Egypt conditional on the development of democratic institutions — as well as peace with Israel — and advocate an independent Palestinian state coexisting with Israel.

Coming off a strong performance last week in a debate with Obama that centered on domestic policy, Romney is looking to boost his reputation in international relations, the topic of a debate coming Oct. 22. Although voters often don’t base decisions on foreign policy, Romney’s line of attack Monday dovetailed with his campaign’s overarching narrative that Obama is a weak leader.

Romney’s most serious charge in the speech was that the president’s national-security strategy is “not one of partnership but of passivity,” said Karl Inderfurth, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a public-policy research institution.

In reading a copy of the speech, Inderfurth said, he was reminded of the old political catchphrase “Where’s the beef?”

“I think it’s fair to ask Gov. Romney: What’s his beef?” said Inderfurth, who was an assistant secretary of state under President Bill Clinton. “He basically endorses President Obama’s approach on Iran, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and creating a Palestinian state, all the hotbutton issues. His rhetoric is critical, but his actual policy prescriptions are quite in line with Obama.”

people more involved in career services and alumni services.

I’m an outsider to ASUA. I’m still learning. I’m very new to this. I have a whole structure that does not come naturally to me. I don’t know anyone and so I feel like I see things a little bit differently than kids who have been doing this since their freshman year would. I didn’t realize that Career Services was here, and they can do all this stuff, and how much alumni services can do for us. So that’s one of the reasons I ran, because I feel like there are so many guys out there that just don’t have a clue and probably never going to have a clue. Even if I reach a couple of those people that would be huge for me.

Obviously the last one is reform the parking of the Rec. Right now from 9-5 you have to pay two dollars per hour just to park there, and the amount of money we pay, you could do something about it.

Rutgers suicide: Parents won’t sue MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

The parents of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi — who committed suicide after his roommate used a webcam to spy on him and a male lover — have decided not to sue anyone, choosing instead to focus their attention on a foundation named after their son.

Clementi jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge in 2010. His roommate, Dharun Ravi, was convicted in March of 15 counts of bias

didn’t want to file a suit,” Mainardi said in a telephone interview with the Los Angeles Times.

“The bottom line is they went through an obviously difficult period, then incredible media pressure because of the way this story became viral,” he said. The parents have “moved to a place where they are interested in positive, constructive work through the foundation and are not interested in recovering any money.”

The Clementi case became a major focus of celebrities and others fighting against school

intimidation and invasion of privacy in connection with his use of a webcam to spy on Clementi.

Ravi, who spent 20 days in jail, is appealing the conviction.

Clementi’s parents, Joseph and Jane Clementi of Ridgewood, N.J., had indicated they would sue the university for failing to take steps to prevent the suicide. They’ve now decided not to sue the school or Ravi, attorney Paul Mainardi said Friday. Rather, the family will put its energy into the Tyler Clementi Foundation, he said.

“They simply decided they

bullying, which often targets young gays. It also brought attention to cyberbullying and the way in which technological advances can be used to spy on people.

On Sept. 19, 2010, Ravi used a webcam to spy on Clementi, who was kissing a man in a dormitory room at Rutgers University in New Jersey. The image was transmitted from the room Ravi shared with Clementi to another student’s computer in the dorm. Clementi found out about the spying through Twitter and jumped to his death days later.

Ravi was not charged with causing Clementi’s death, but Clementi’s family argued that Ravi’s behavior was a factor in the suicide.

After the suicide, Rutgers changed some of its policies to make gay and lesbian students more comfortable. The Tyler Clementi Foundation has been a co-sponsor of an academic conference at Rutgers on social media.

The Clementis and the university have been talking about more joint programs, but there is no agreement, Mainardi said.

Detroit police chief retires after scandal with fellow officer MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

DETROIT — Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee Jr. has retired effective immediately amid a scandal involving his relationship with a female officer in the department, Mayor Dave Bing announced at a news conference Monday morning.

Bing said he met with Godbee on Sunday. He said he did not force Godbee to resign, but said it had become clear the chief had to step down.

Assistant Chief Chester Logan will serve as interim chief.

“I think this was the right decision by the chief and therefore I support it,” Bing said.

Bing said he had gotten to know Godbee well and respected him as a leader.

“It bothers, hurts me a great deal that it has come to this,” Bing said.

“I worry about him as a person and hope that he’ll be able to get on with his life no longer as part of the Detroit Police Department, but as a citizen of Detroit.”

Bing suspended Godbee for 30

days last week after allegations the chief was having an affair with Angelica Robinson, who works for the department in internal affairs. Robinson’s gun was taken away after she became distraught and posted a photo of herself with a gun in her mouth on a social networking site. She was evaluated by a doctor and was cleared to return to work with her gun, a department spokeswoman said Friday.

When asked if Godbee admitted to a relationship with an internal affairs officer, Bing said: “He did tell me that he had a relationship with Ms. Robinson, yes.”

Bing said Godbee was embarrassed.

“He felt he had let me down.

He felt he had let the department down. He felt he had let the citizens of Detroit down,” Bing said.

The chief, who is married, filed for divorce in August. He has declined to comment.

His retirement letter, dated Monday, makes no mention of the affair or what led to his stepping down. Instead, it opines about his

Soon after Godbee was appointed, it was revealed he also had had a relationship with the lieutenant Evans was dating.

He said Godbee, at the time, was the right choice.

“At the time of my selection, I think I made the right decision,” Bing said.

The mayor said he spoke with Godbee during his tenure about his behavior because of the prior

indiscretion with the lieutenant.

“We have had that conversation on more than one occasion because I had concerns just based on the history, and he confided in me that he had changed his ways,” Bing said. “And I had no reason not to believe that.”

Bing said he told Godbee what his expectations were.

“He didn’t live up to those expectations,” Bing said, “and that leads us to where we are today.”

Reform debates for real discourse Jason Krell

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

W

hat do you get when two authorities, who should be trustworthy, start accusing each other of lying on national TV? You get the the American political system.

More specifically, you get President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s first presidential debate — otherwise known as the biggest game of “he said, she said” anyone has ever dared to call political discourse.

If you missed it, here are the highlights: Obama said Romney would do something, and then described how he himself would do it instead.

Romney responded by saying, in an equally vague way, that everything Obama said was misinformed or a flat-out lie.

Rinse and repeat, with both candidates taking turns pointing fingers and backpedalling for two hours, while moderator Jim Lehrer possibly falls asleep — and that’s how Americans are supposed to decide which candidate represents their best interest.

If the situation weren’t so serious, it might actually be funny, but no one who wants to make a logical, informed decision could possibly do so when there wasn’t a single fact to be found during the debate.

Sure, there’s always the Internet, where dozens of websites and news outlets fact checked the whole debate.

But this raises two problems.

Number one: Fact checking points made in the debate primarily highlights the fact that the men we’re supposed to choose between to run the country lied or manipulated the truth frequently and without remorse. This should automatically make citizens question the validity of anything any candidate says, forever.

Number two: Since candidates couldn’t be bothered to tell the truth, America is forced to trust that its citizens won’t be too lazy to do the research on their own — which is all the more startling when you take into account the fact that, according to U.S. Census data, during the 2008 presidential election 36 percent of voting-aged citizens couldn’t even be bothered to vote in the first place.

It would be naive to say voters shouldn’t challenge the claims of the people trying to represent them on a national scale. It would also be impossible to expect politicians to not massage the truth in the hopes of appearing more preferable than their opponents. But what wouldn’t be impossible is redefining what a debate is and what it reveals about the candidates.

Because the current debate format doesn’t hold candidates accountable for their claims, it’s pretty easy to get away with half-truths and small lies without the majority of the national audience noticing — assuming a good deal of Americans don’t stay tuned for post-debate analysis.

So, instead of allowing candidates to monologue for minutes unchallenged, the moderator should actually serve as a participant. The moderator would force candidates to either be specific and honest or risk looking like an idiot. This would turn debates into a meaningful dialogue.

This solution presents its own problems, specifically finding a moderator both educated enough and unbiased enough to hold a fair debate.

But considering the way governmental incompetence on both sides of the aisle is frustrating more and more people, it shouldn’t be too hard to find someone fed up with both candidates.

Voters might also worry about whether candidates would agree to what could easily turn into a disaster from which there is no return. But any candidate who isn’t willing to submit to the highest level of scrutiny shouldn’t be president to begin with.

When the job involves representing the nation to the rest of the world, Americans have a right to know all the risks. If a person wants to keep secrets, let them do it outside the Oval Office.

To up grad rates, change attitudes, not incentives Andres Dominguez ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

L

ast week, Texas Gov. Rick Perry made what many called an ambitious step toward reforming higher education. Incentivize performance of Texas schools, Perry said, by tying 10 percent of state funding to the graduation rate of each institution.

Although this may sound like an innovative idea to increase college graduation rates in Texas and around the country, including the UA, there are several factors that must be taken into account. In all likelihood, this would not be an effective way to increase the graduation rate at UA, or other Arizona schools.

First, consider the specifics of such a proposal to Arizona educational institutions. What are the goals? Should they be customized to each school, or should there be a universal quota that each school should meet when it comes to graduating students?

Should this be based on four-year graduation rates alone? Or should six-year rates be factored in as well?

If the bar is set too high, the UA may not meet the minimal standards — with a 40 percent

graduation rate, it is highly likely that the university would fail to meet graduation goals for the first few years such a policy was in place.

Additionally, many university programs and departments don’t rely heavily on state funding, due to the state’s lack of interest in college success rates.

In fiscal year 2010-2011, the most recent available data, the UA garnered over $660 million in gifts and grants, almost twice as much as the $344 million allotted by the state during the same time-frame, and well over twice as much as the $281 million the state is appropriating to the UA this year.

With a vast amount of funds being generated outside state funds, some individual departments and programs may not need the threat of a cutoff in state funds due to exterior research grants and other sources, even while other programs suffer from lack of revenue.

Besides, the state Legislature (not one to prioritize higher education), in its current Tea Party makeup, would be more than happy to cut additional funds from the state’s higher education institutions and redirect the funds to private prisons.

Another issue is the general apathy among students. With rising tuition woes, schools treating students as if they do not have work while work treats students as though they do not have school, students have enough reasons to develop a four-year migraine.

And student apathy is often left unchecked by departments, teachers and administrators.

Graduation rates and loan forgiveness are trending up, especially when the two are linked.

The University of Texas at Austin is testing a program that would measure whether students can be encouraged to complete their degrees by offering forgiveness of the most expensive loans they take out to attend UT. The pilot project only includes 200 students this fall, but UT officials said students could save thousands of dollars if it proves successful. When it seems like you’re being overwhelmingly told that you’ll graduate up to your eyeballs in student loan debt, it’s a relief to know universities like UT Austin are looking out for you.

Cautionary tales of social media are increasing, and more people are looking at your Facebook than you think, according to a survey by Kaplan Test Prep. Although relatively few college admissions officers say they Google applicants or look at their Facebook pages, more of those who do report finding something undesirable.

The percentage of admissions officers who reported finding something that impacted an applicant’s chance of admission — anything from alcohol consumption in photos, essay plagiarism or something illegal — leaped from 12 percent to 35 percent.

Does it really need to be said again?

Don’t be stupid on the Internet.

my college gave us a valuable lesson about how college would turn out for us and our peers.

“Look at the student next to you,” he said. “One of you won’t be here next semester.”

That was our encouraging introduction to the academic lives we would have to struggle through at the UA. This tendency to hammer students into survival mode for their college experience is not new — this has been ingrained into the attitudes of colleges and universities, and the nation’s 60-percent average graduation rate for public education institutions reflects that.

If we are to improve our graduation rate, we must first improve the quality of our education.

The first step is to refrain from telling students that half of them are going to drop out. That just might improve students’ attitudes toward their higher education.

Encouraging and supportive faculty is also necessary. Students can’t be told that university life is easy, or have the difficulties sugarcoated, but telling students that they can succeed goes much further than saying they will have to drop out.

These solutions and more can work toward improving education, retention and graduation rates. Cutting funding from the state that consistently ranks 49th or 50th in per-student funding will not provide the proper incentive to raise our graduation numbers.

Minor Twitter indescretions could also get you in trouble, as third-string quarterback Cardale Jones of Ohio State University learned last week when he tweeted, “Why should we have to go class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we aint come here to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS.” The tweet was eventually deleted and Jones’ Twitter account removed. He was also suspended from a game on Saturday.

It was a pretty harmless, careless tweet that came under scrutiny because Jones is an athlete. But it’s hard to tell which one is easier make: the joke about Jones being third string and not playing much football anyway, or the one about how he clearly should “play SCHOOL” more often?

Evolution continues finding skeptics.

In a video, Rep. Paul Broun, a Georgia Republican who chairs the House Science Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight, said the Bible contains the literal truth. “God’s word is true,” he said in during filmed address to a church congregation. “All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, the big bang theory; all of that is lies straight from the pit of hell.”

A spokeswoman for Broun said he was “speaking off the record to a large church group about his personal beliefs regarding religious issues.”

The thing about evolution, and science in general, is that science is not a personal belief. On the bright side, celebrity science educator Bill Nye spoke out against Broun after seeing the video. That guy’s really making a comeback.

Police Beat YAZMINE MOORE Arizona Daily Wildcat

Shots ‘til you drop

A University of Arizona Police Department officer approached an 18-year-old UA student who was on the ground, moaning and semi-conscious outside of Coronado Residence Hall at about 12:21 a.m. on Oct. 6.

The officer called for medical assistance, and the woman was conscious and able to stand up on her own by the time they arrived.

The student was escorted to her room and released into the care of her roommate. The student identified herself with a Washington driver’s license and admitted to drinking four shots of vodka at an off-campus “Pi-Kap” party.

She said she didn’t know who gave her the alcoholic beverages. The officer cited and released her for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Parking garage camp-out

During a security check at the Main Gate Parking Garage, a UAPD officer saw a person wrapped in a sleeping bag in the exterior walkway between the garage and the University Services Building at 3:04 a.m. on Oct. 6.

When he approached the person, the officer noticed it was a woman with a small travel bag next to her.

She identified herself with an Arizona driver’s license and said she was traveling from Flagstaff and was waiting for her ride to arrive. The driver’s contact information was in the woman’s cell phone, but the phone’s battery had died.

The officer informed the woman that she could only use areas of the university for their intended purposes and the woman said she understood. She then left on foot.

The officer later determined that the woman was a current UA student.

Fake I.D. for clubs, not alcohol

A UAPD officer was parked at the intersection of Sixth Street and Park Avenue when a vehicle ran a red light at 1:20 a.m. on Sept. 30.

During the traffic stop, the driver identified himself with a Pennsylvania driver’s license, but the officer noticed a New York driver’s license in the man’s center console.

A records check didn’t show a match for the New York license. The driver said that he purchased the second license for $70 on an unknown website.

He said he didn’t buy it to help him buy alcohol illegally, even though the license portrayed him as being over the age of 21. He said he used the license to gain entry into a club when he was under the age of 18. The officer placed the driver under arrest for possession of a fictitious license and cited him for running a red light. He was released at the scene, and the fake ID was taken into evidence.

Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

FORMER UA PITCHER Alicia Hollowell, who won a Women’s College World Series in 2006, has returned to the Wildcats in a coaching capacity.

SOFTBALL, 10

Projecting the starters for UA basketball As the season opener on Nov. 11 nears, head coach Sean Miller will likely reveal who will be in the starting lineup. Here’s our best guess.

ZACK ROSENBLATT Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona’s season doesn’t officially start until Nov. 11, against Charleston Southern, but Media Day is Oct. 10, followed by the annual Red-Blue scrimmage on Oct. 21 and the first pre-season game on Oct. 31. So, what better time than now — just a few weeks before the season begins — to project the Wildcats’ starting lineup?

Head coach Sean Miller has held two open practices in recent weeks, but has given no indication as to who will be in the starting lineup come Nov. 11. At least three spots — point guard, shooting guard and small forward — are fairly safe bets.

At point guard, Xavier transfer Mark Lyons is expected to take the reins at what has been Arizona’s most volatile position in recent years. Lyons will be the third player running the point in the three years since Nic Wise graduated in 2010. Momo Jones transferred to Iona after the UA’s Elite Eight run in 2011, and highly-touted freshman Josiah Turner left the school after a disappointing 2012 season. Lyons averaged 15.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game last year at Xavier.

Lyons is followed by Jordin Mayes, who is much better suited as a scorer off the bench than the starting point guard role he was thrust into at times last season.

At shooting guard, Nick Johnson should have a firm hold on the starting slot, as his only real competition comes from freshman guard Gabe York, who still should get a decent amount of playing time with his athleticism and deep

shooting range. Johnson averaged 9.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists in his freshman season. Kevin Parrom should be back to full health after struggling a bit last season after being shot at home in New York. Parrom will likely fulfill this team’s sixth man role, and his ability to bring the ball up the court will prove valuable in spelling Lyons.

At small forward is a slimmed-down Solomon Hill, moving back to his natural three-spot after playing out of position at power forward for the undersized Wildcats last season. Hill is expected to be a candidate for Pac-12 player of the year after leading Arizona in both scoring (13.0 points per) and rebounding (7.7).

There are four candidates for the two big man slots in freshmen Kaleb Tarczewski, Grant Jerrett and Brandon Ashley, as well as sophomore Angelo Chol.

Chol has bulked up, and with a year of experience under his belt, he’s probably the best candidate to open the larry hogan/arizona Daily Wildcat season as the starting center. Having a talented 7-footer like Tarczewski come off the bench is a nice problem to CENTER ANGELO CHOL (right) and freshman forward Grant Jerrett are expected to be key contributors in the front court this season for the Wildcats have, though.

At power forward, Ashley is probably more versatile Starting line-up prediction while Jerrett is a bit more of a traditional choice, Point Guard- Mark Lyons although he does have a shooting range out to the Shooting Guard- Nick Johnson three-point line.

Small Forward- Solomon Hill It’s a complete guessing game, but for now expect Power Forward- Grant Jerrett Jerrett gets the starting nod in the early going, Center- Angelo Chol although Ashley should be an impact player and Key Reserves: Kevin Parrom, Brandon Ashley, Kaleb Tarczewski, eventual starter, as he probably has the highest Gabe York, Jordin Mayes ceiling of the four Wildcats recruits and can also play small forward.

Arizona midseason report card: For the offense, so far so good KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona is halfway done with its schedule and headed into a bye week, Here’s our midseason report - beginning with the offense.

Quarterback

arizona Daily Wildcat file photo

RUNNING BACK Ka’Deem Carey has thrived in head coach Rich Rodriguez’s spread option offense, rushing for 112 yards per game, and he has 10 rushing touchdowns on the season.

Through the first half of the season, Arizona has been anything but a run-oriented team, as was expected under head coach Rich Rodriguez — and it’s all thanks to senior quarterback Matt Scott.

Scott is fourth in the nation with 386.8 total yards per game, second in completions and has 13

touchdowns to go along with seven picks. His dual threat ability has slowed down significantly since the Oregon game, but Scott still has the most rushing yards for a non-running back in the Pac-12 at 222.

Scott’s biggest mistakes this season have occurred late in games. In the final five minutes of regulation and overtime of close games — within a touchdown — the senior has struggled.

His completion percentage drops from its season average of 64 percent down to exactly 40 percent, going 6-for-15 with 55 yards.

Wildcats struggle through conference EMI KOMIYA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona traveled to Los Angeles to take on UCLA and USC on Friday and Sunday, and after losing twice, the Pac-12 conference has continued to be unforgiving this season.

The team continues to show temporary moments of potential, but the lack of execution keeps the squad chasing their second conference win.

“We still have a lot of maturing to do, but I think that by the second round of conference we will be fine,” junior libero Candace Nicholson said.

The conference season opened

with arguably the toughest opponents on the schedule with No. 2 Washington, No. 5 USC, No. 6 UCLA and No. 7 Stanford, plus the loss to Cal. As a result, Arizona has now dropped to 9-8 after starting 9-3. The schedule is beginning to unwind, however, with upcoming opponents that are not nationally ranked. Head coach David Rubio said he hopes the Wildcats will be able to catch a break against teams like Utah and Colorado, though that doesn’t mean Arizona is looking past the two schools.

“Every week is a different challenge and every match we have something

new to work on,” Rubio said. “It’s just a matter of when are we going to get to the point where we can put ourselves in a position to be successful. The good news is that there’s some progress and we have the talent.”

On paper —and with its current record — Arizona looks a lot like Rubio’s 2011 team that squeezed into the NCAA tournament last year, but were defeated out in the first round by Michigan State.

The baby steps of improvement may be hard to see for a frustrated team who is tired of losing, but Rubio

Pac-12 roundup: UA’s conference woes KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

Turki Allugman/Arizona Daily Wildcat

USC RECEIVER Marquise Lee and the Trojans come to Tucson in a few weeks, and with all its talent on offense, the Wildcats struggles in the Pac-12 might continue.

When Stanford’s running back Stepfan Taylor jogged untouched into the endzone to complete a comeback on Saturday in Palo Alto, Calif. and hand Arizona its third straight heartbreaking loss, the Wildcats fell to an ugly 0-3 in the conference.

Arizona’s opening slate of Pac-12 games have been anything but easy — in fact its come up against the top three teams in the conference power rankings.

But the strength of schedule doesn’t erase the meager conference record. Also, these Pac-12 struggles are anything but new for the Wildcats, and it all dates back to their last trip to Palo Alto in 2010.

The then-No. 13 Wildcats traveled to take on Andrew Luck and thenNo. 10 Stanford on Nov. 6. The Cardinal blew Arizona out 42-17 as a Taylor destroyed the Wildcats with four rushing scores. Ever since then the Wildcats have been dismal in conference play.

Since that first loss in Palo Alto,

Arizona has only won two of its 16 conference games. The 2-14 record is the worst of any Pac-12 schools, narrowly edging out Washington State by one game.

It’s even fewer wins than Colorado and Utah — and they both passed the three-win plateau with five fewer Pac12 games at their disposal.

While some of the defeats have been close — five have come by a touchdown or less — Arizona has been outscored by an average of

she said. “They know me, they know my system and they know the type of coach I am, so that familiarity really helps prepare them.”

Junior pitcher Shelby Babcock is one of the players Hollowell works closely with on a daily basis and admires her “go-get-em attitude.”

“She has a great attitude about the game and is so fun, but she also buckles down and works hard,” Babcock said.

As an assistant coach, Hollowell’s passion for the game grew exponentially because she is doing something she loves every day.

“I get excited seeing pitchers make adjustments and do something good,” she said. “It just fires me up as a coach.”

more than 11 points per game. It also hasn’t beaten a team from the North Division since the 44-14 Homecoming victory against Washington in 2010.

For a program whose goal is to finally make the Rose Bowl, a feat Arizona’s never achieved, a .125 winning percentage in conference isn’t going to get it done.

Even with the South Division having opened up (since the majority of top teams hail from the North this year) Arizona needs almost a perfect finish to have any shot at the Pac-12 championship game.

Qualifying with three losses isn’t inconceivable though — a four loss UCLA team made it last year. But this time around USC isn’t on probation.

Still, the Trojans looked vulnerable in their Thursday night match against Utah, trailing early on by two touchdowns. USC eventually turned it on in the second quarter, scoring 28 unanswered points thanks to a huge game by receiver Marqise Lee. The wideout had 192 of the team’s 303 total receiving yards and also added a score.

Arizona and USC play in three weeks, but the Trojans only have one loss in conference and would still have to lose to be passed, even if the Wildcats manage to pull off the huge upset.

The South Division’s other contender, UCLA, took a huge blow after being destroyed by a struggling Cal team 43-17.

The Bruins had six turnovers in the game and were outscored 40-10 in the final three quarters against a Cal side that entered the game with one win — and it came against FCS Southern Utah.

But neither team is leading the South Division.

The top dog right now is Arizona State (4-1, 2-0 Pac-12), and after a bye last week and a game against a futile Colorado squad, the Sun Devils seem destined to remain on top until they face No. 2 Oregon at home on Oct. 18.

The Stanford loss in 2010 ruined Arizona’s shot at the Pac-12 title in addition to starting the stretch of ugly conference play. With the Wildcats now in a 0-3 pit, it looks like the overtime thriller on Saturday managed to prolong the losing pattern.

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 6

Running Backs

While Scott has been the star this season, sophomore running back Ka’Deem Carey has flown under the radar.

Carey’s 112 average rushing yards per game places him 16th in the nation, and his 10 rushing touchdowns is the fourth overall. The young back has also shown an ability to catch the ball, hauling in 220 yards and another score.

If Carey keeps up his pace, he’ll finish with 1,340 yards and 20 touchdowns, placing him third in UA history in yardage and second all-time in touchdowns. If the Wildcats rebound and make a bowl game, Carey will have a shot at breaking Art Luppino’s 21-touchdown season, a record held since 1954.

Junior Daniel Jenkins only has 100 yards this season and half of his 24 carries came against South Carolina State.

On his 12 attempts against FBS opponents, Jenkins only has 24 yards.

Grade: B+

Wide Receivers

The receiving duo of Austin Hill and Dan Buckner has been efficient, with both currently in the top 20 nationally in yardage — Hill at No. 11 and Buckner at No. 19.

Both Hill and Buckner have been on the receiving end of

more than 40 percent of Scott’s completions.

This unit is built on depth, as five other receivers have had at least one game of at least 50 yards. David Richards, Terrence Miller and Johnny Jackson all have games where they’ve shined, and Richard Morrison and Tyler Slavin have been constant contributors.

The latter two have also made a name for themselves with drops, though, including several in crucial situations. Actually, the receiving corps as a whole hasn’t had the most reliable hands this season.

Grade: B

Offensive Line

It’s always tough to gauge the play of the offensive line during the course of a game, at least statistically. It’s been clear so far that the line’s improved from last season, but as a whole it’s been the weakest facet of the offense.

Matt Scott has been sacked 12 times this season, which is tied for the sixth most in the conference, making Arizona 82nd in the nation. The ground game also hasn’t been as consistent as expected, averaging just 4.7 yards per attempt, which is 46th overall.

Rodriguez has said several times this season the line needs to create more push, but with the way it’s been hit by injuries, it’ll be hard to improve.

said he wants his team to get angry enough about losing to turn a corner and do something about the recent struggles. Only time will tell just how close the team is to getting back on the saddle.

“We just need to be more ready on the court to take it and I don’t think any of us are always ready to go out there and fight as hard as we need too,” sophomore middle blocker Rachel Rhoades said.

Feel Like Part of a Herd?

Q What do I need to be cautious of when drinking in other countries?

Laws, culture, and customs vary greatly between countries A. and regions of the world. You, the savvy traveler, will get to

know the laws before departure so you can be a safe, legal, and respectful visitor.

In some nations, alcohol is completely forbidden because of religious laws, so prepare to abstain from drinking in certain areas.

Countries with large Muslim populations often have the strongest alcohol laws (and penalties). In other countries, consumption may only be allowed in small amounts, for religious purposes, in tourist locations, or in homes.

Move into a class of your own.

Visit SUVA to see how studying with a small group of like-minded artists and designers and learning from working, professional instructors can give you the competitive edge you need when you graduate.

SUVA is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and welcomes transfer credits.

Where and when you can drink may differ by location. Alcohol sales may be banned on certain days of the week or at particular times of the day or night (Thailand). You may be limited to purchasing from government-run stores, or only in approved visitor areas.

Minimum drinking ages vary from 14-25 around the world. Since the 1980s, the legal age for alcohol purchase and consumption in the United States has been 21. Contrast that with Jamaica where there is no minimum legal drinking age if alcohol is provided by others. Our northern neighbors in Canada allow drinking at age 18 or 19, depending on the provincial laws. To the south, 18 is the law in Mexico. In Germany, 14-15 year olds may drink in the company of parents in restaurants. Teens, ages 16-18, are allowed to purchase wine and beer in Belgium.

Clearly, it’s always best to have a designated, sober driver. The Scandinavians are adamant about alcohol-free driving: Norway’s maximum DUI limit is 0.02 BAC (blood alcohol concentration) which is one quarter the level most US states allow (0.08). Drunk driving may result in loss of driver’s license, steep fines, and even imprisonment.

If you meet the age requirements when traveling abroad, please enjoy the local drinks in moderation, have a DD, and be a gracious visitor in pubs, homes, and public areas.

Cheers, salud, sláinte, skål, prost!

In Estonia, stores may sell alcohol only between 10am and 10pm.
