UA campus faces major censorship after thieves steal 10,000 copies of the Wildcat yesterday morning

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT STAFF About 10,000 copies of the Arizona Daily Wildcat were stolen Thursday morning from newsstands across campus, an action which cost the student publication thousands of dollars and drew condemnation from media-law experts in Arizona and Washington D.C. Officials at Arizona Student Media, the university department that oversees the Wildcat, estimated a loss of $8,500, including advertising revenue, salaries and production costs. Wildcat staff became aware of the situation at about 8 a.m. when Advertising Manager Mike Spohn saw three men take all the copies of the

AIDS walk fundraising decreases By Shannon Maule ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Due to decreasing funding, the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation is anxiously awaiting the financial outcome of their AIDS Walk this Sunday. This year marks the 21st AIDS Walk that the foundation has held in the Tucson community and the fourth year that the event has taken place on the UA campus. The fundraising goal this year is $215,000, but as of Thursday the organization has only received $112,000, said Michele Bart, director of development for the AIDS foundation. Last year’s fundraising was not as successful as it has been in the past. “When times were better we raised $230,000 a year just from this event, but last year we raised $201,000,”she said. As Sunday approaches, Bart is still encouraging anyone and everyone to participate. “It is never too late to fundraise,” she said. As of Wednesday, 390 of the 1,000 people registered for the walk are UA students. In WALK, page 3

newspaper from a stand near the Wildcat offices in the Park Student Union. Spohn told the University of Arizona Police Department that the men left in a tan Toyota Camry with a California license plate. Students and staff reported similar incidents across campus. Judy Harrison, an administrative assistant for the Student Union Memorial Center, said she normally grabs a copy of the Wildcat at about 7:45 a.m., before she starts work. Harrison said that when she went to grab her copy Thursday morning, she saw a man in a hooded gray sweatshirt walking away from a newsstand in the Student Union

with a bundle of the newspapers. Adia Pickens, a student manager at the student union and the Park Student Union, said she saw two men running away from a newsstand near Baskin Robbins on University Boulevard with stacks of Wildcat newspapers. Pickens said the men were wearing athletic sweats and looked like they had just gotten out of bed. She said they left with the newspapers in a “nice black car.” The print edition of the Wildcat contains a statement on the second page that reads, “A single copy of the Daily Wildcat is free from newsstands. THEFT, page 3

s you are now aware, yesterday an estimated 10,000 copies of the Daily Wildcat were stolen from newsstands around campus. If you missed your daily dose of news, Police Beat or the trusty-old crossword and Sudoku, I can only say that I’m sorry. We want the newspaper to be in your hands every day. But apparently someone didn’t. And that’s wrong — criminal, in fact — as attested to by numerous experts in media Alex Dalenberg law and the Student editor in chief Press Law Center in Washington D.C. At this point, it’s not clear who the culprits are or what their motive was, but one thing is certain — we are going to do our damnedest to find out. Here’s a tip: don’t steal from journalists, they ask a lot of questions. But to a greater extent, this isn’t solely about the theft of $8,500 from this newspaper. As editor in chief, I regard this theft as nothing less than an assault on the freedom of the press, as well as on one of the oldest and most visible campus institutions. This is something everyone should care about. After all, this is your newspaper. It’s filled with your letters and stories about your friends, neighbors and professors. UA-area businesses depend on the Daily Wildcat to get the word out about their products and services. The newspaper is a marketplace, debate forum and bulletin board all wrapped-up into one. No one has the right to take that service away. That’s censorship, plain and simple. We can only speculate why someone or some group would do this, but I want to make this perfectly clear. If the goal was to prevent the Daily Wildcat from publishing a story, they have failed miserably. Obi-Wan Kenobi said it best:“If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” Yesterday afternoon, I received calls from journalists around the state as well as a reporter in Washington D.C. The story is already on The Associated Press wire service. I anticipate more calls from around the country in the days to come as the story gains traction. Basically, if these newspaper thieves wanted to beat the Wildcat, they’ve only succeeded in stoking the attention of the press at large. Now, when their identity and motives are revealed, as they likely will be because people always talk, they won’t just be publicized in the Daily Wildcat, but by newspapers and Web sites around Arizona and across the nation. Stealing newspapers won’t stop the Arizona Daily Wildcat, that’s our promise to you. This only makes us want to dig deeper.

Q&A City Council candidate Steve Kozachik By Will Ferguson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Stephen Kozachik, associate director of athletics for Facilities and Capital Projects at the UA, is running against democratic incumbent Nina Trasoff in the Nov. 3 general election for the Tucson City Council. Any citizen who has lived in Pima County for a month prior to the general election, and is registered to vote, may participate in this election, according to the Pima County Recorder’s office. The Daily Wildcat sat down with Kozachik to talk about his upcoming bid for the 6th Ward city council seat. This is the first interview of a four part series with the City Council candidates for 3rd and 4th wards. Daily Wildcat: You have been working for the UA athletic department for 21 years — it’s obviously a full time job. Why do you want to be on the Tucson City Council? Stephen Kazachik: Because Tucson needs a change of direction. You look downtown and see projects that have started and then stopped midstream. The ones that do get finished come in over budget. You got $160 million in Rio Nuevo. What have we done with it? There is no one who can justify the 160

million based on the progress we have seen downtown. The city just had a party for opening up the Fourth Avenue underpass. I am glad they opened up the underpass, but $46 million? The project went $20 million over budget. It has left the tax payers holding the burden. We have a business climate in this community that is absolutely sick. This council has referred to the business community as being Tucson’s forces of evil. How are you going to build a rapport with the private sector when you’re sending that kind of junk around? We’ve got to turn that around. The city relies on state and city sales tax to fund the city budget. When you are sending that kind of nonsense around there is no way you can expect to develop a rapport with the private sector. Without that, the city is done.You don’t fund core services, you don’t fund anything. DW: What is the relationship between the university, its students and the city council? SK: One of the main things I see is in regards to student housing. There is a lot of contention around the issue of student housing and mini-dorm development. We are about to start laying the trolley tracks

Associate Athletic Director Stephen Kozachik explains his upcoming city council bid on Thursday. Kozachik, a 21-year veteran of Arizona Athletics started his career at Arizona as an event coordinator before working his way up to associate director of facilities & capital projects.

STOCKHOLM — Herta Müeller,alittle-knownRomanianborn author who was persecuted for her critical depictions of life behind the Iron Curtain, won the 2009 Nobel Prize in literature Thursday in an award seen as a nod to the 20th anniversary of communism’s collapse. Herta Müeller Müeller,amemberofRomania’s ethnic German minority, was honored for work that “with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed,”the Swedish Academy said. “I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,”Müeller said in a statement released by her publisher in Germany, where she is widely renowned.“I can’t say anything more at the moment.” Müeller, 56, made her debut in 1982 with a collection of short stories titled“Niederungen,”or“Nadirs,”depicting the harshness of life in a small, German-speaking village in Romania. It was promptly censored by the communist government. In 1984 an uncensored version was smuggled to Germany, where it was published and devoured by readers. That work was followed by “Oppressive Tango” in Romania but she was eventually prohibited from publishing inside her country for her criticism of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu’s rule and its feared secret police, the Securitate. “The Romanian national press was very critical of these works while, outside of Romania, the German press received them very positively,”the academy said. Though Peter Englund, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said the award was not timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the fall of communism, that’s how it was perceived by many observers. “By giving the award to Herta Müeller, who grew up in a German-speaking minority in Romania, (the committee) has recognized an author who refuses to let the inhumane side of life under communism be forgotten,” said Michael Krueger, head of Müeller’s publisher Hanser Verlag. “This prize is the international recognition of the oppression of what happened in Romania and Eastern Europe,” said Romanian actor Ion Caramitru, an anticommunist who rode atop a tank to the television station in Bucharest during the 1989 revolt and now heads the country’s national theater. Müeller is the 12th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature. It’s the first time four women have won Nobel Prizes in the same year. U.S.-based researchers Elizabeth Blackburn and Carol Greider were among the medicine winners and the chemistry prize included Israel’s AdaYonath. — The Associated Press

In yesterday’s issue, “Pulitzer winners to speak at UA” stated the East Valley Tribune laid off Ryan Gabrielson. Gabrielson was not laid off but left of his own accord. The Daily Wildcat regrets the error.

Unauthorized removal of multiple copies will be considered theft and may be prosecuted.” However, campus police were hesitant to describe the action as criminal activity. Sgt. Juan Alvarez, a UAPD spokesman, said it was unclear to him whether or not taking the newspapers constituted a crime. “What complicates this issue is that (the newspapers) were taken from areas where people can walk up and take issues,” he said. According to a UAPD report, an officer responding to Spohn’s 911 call said, “While rude and juvenile, the taking of all items offered at no charge was not criminal in nature.” The case will be inactive, the police report said. Several media lawyers condemned the UAPD’s reasoning, saying the theft is an unambiguous criminal act. “It’s a crime,”said Adam Goldstein, an attorney advocate for the Student Press Law Center, a legal assistance agency for high school and college journalists. “Although they’re not sold, these papers have value,” he said. “Whoever stole them, deprived the newspaper’s editors of that value. They deprive the advertisers of that value. They’ve deprived the university of that service. Whoever took them should be prosecuted.” Goldstein said the agency receives about a dozen calls per year related to newspaper thefts on college campuses. “It’s a highly effective, cheap method of censorship,” he said. Goldstein said a significant number of newspaper thefts are committed by greek organizations or persons with friends upset about articles appearing Police Beat-type features. In most cases, newspapers are stolen to prevent the public from reading an article. However, in some cases it’s done as a prank. “All it takes is a bunch of people willing to break the law in the dead of night,” he said. Goldstein added that it was wrong of UAPD to not aggressively pursue the case. “This is a decision they will regret if they don’t take it seriously,” Goldstein said. “This says, ‘Anyone with a beef

between the university and downtown. If we start building student housing along that route it is going to relieve the pressure on the neighborhoods. The people in the neighborhoods, they aren’t worried about construction, they don’t want students in there. We’ll guess what, that violates the Fair Housing Act that was passed 40 years ago. You can’t say I don’t want this kind of person living next to me. The problem is when both sides of the issue get in the same room they come in the room with their swords drawn. Nothing is going to happen there. My sense is, let’s encourage the city and the university to partner with the private sector to start building up student housing along that street car route to downtown and create a linkage between the UA and downtown and that link will encourage private sector development along that same route. It’s win-win for everyone. DW: How will you go about addressing the core needs of your district if you are elected? SK: First, you have to identify the needs of the community. The current incumbents, while they have spoken the speak, they haven’t walked the walk. That is to say, everybody recognizes by city charter (that) the core obligations of the city are public safety, transportation and open space parks. The sad fact is that they came out in 2006 with the Financial Sustainability Plan. It called out for public safety. They failed in their commitments to put public safety first. They will say the economy tanked. Well fine, when the economy tanks you pull back from all the peripheral things the city is doing and you focus on core services instead of continuing to fund everything. So that focus is what they lacked. DW: You talked about public safety, why is this so important to push through? SK: The financial sustainability plan reflects the minimum safety standards established by the FBI. The FBI recommended 2.9 cops per residents. The Tucson Police Officers Association negotiated down to 2.4 with this mayor and council. We are paying for crime in this city, we are paying for the 2.4 right now based on Tucson being ranked 190 out 200 by Forbes magazine for crime rate. That’s a disincentive for private sectors to come into this community. I work for athletics, and we are all about recruiting. If you are trying to recruit a private sector into an area, one of the main things

with a campus organization can take their material and throw it away.’” Many student newspapers have successfully prosecuted newspaper thefts. A civil suit by the Wildcat to recover damages would also be possible, he said. Dan Barr, a media lawyer with Perkins Coie Brown & Bain in Phoenix, agreed with Goldstein. “This is theft. There’s nothing more to it than that,” Barr said. “When someone runs off with 10,000 copies of the newspaper, it’s to prevent people from reading them and to prevent advertisers from reaching an audience. There can be no other purpose but to punish the Daily Wildcat and its advertisers.” President Robert Shelton also condemned the theft in an e-mail statement to the Daily Wildcat. “I find this theft to be outrageous and completely counter to the principles of freedom of expression that we embrace at the UA,” Shelton said. Professor Kevin R. Kemper, who teaches media law in the UA School of Journalism, said the theft of newspapers threatens to squelch free speech on campus. “I hope the university police and the administration take this incident seriously,”he said.“Even if it was intended to be just a prank, it was more than that. It interferes with the free flow of information on campus and that is never acceptable.” It is still unknown who stole the newspapers. However, the Wildcat received several tips throughout the day from persons wishing to remain anonymous who claimed that Phi Kappa Psi fraternity members were responsible. Wildcat reporters asked Phi Kappa Psi leadership several times during an interview whether or not members of the fraternity had stolen newspapers, but the president and vice president of the fraternity would neither confirm nor deny involvement in the theft. “I’m not going to talk about this at all,” said Keith Peters, president of Phi Kappa Psi. “We’re not supposed to talk to the media.” — Shain Bergan, Alex Dalenberg, Carly Kennedy, Steven Kwan and Tim McDonnell contributed to this report.

Successful newspaper theft prosecutions: University of California, Berkeley (2003) Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates was found guilty of tossing 1,000 copies of The Daily Californian in the trash after being spotted and reported by students. The newspaper that day contained an editorial that endorsed his opponent, then-incumbent Shirley Dean, for mayor in an upcoming election. University of Florida (1988) Criminal charges were filed against four students who confiscated “large quantities” of the Florida Review. The newspaper had exposed election fraud on the part of a prospective president of the campus College Republicans. “If we can establish any value (of the papers) whatsoever, we have a basis for a criminal suit,” the prosecuting attorney said. Pennsylvania State University (1993) Two student journalists were charged with stealing 4,000 copies of The Lionhearted after it published a cartoon depicting a female columnist from The Daily Collegian in a bikini standing next to a sign that read, “Feminist at Work.” The pair agreed to pay restitution to The Lionhearted and enter a rehabilitation program. University of Texas, Austin (1995) A man was given six months probation after pleading guilty to stealing 5,800 copies of The Daily Texan, a loss estimated at $1,450. The newspaper had published an article on his arrest for forging a letter of recommendation to gain acceptance to the university. University of Kentucky (1997) Three students pleaded guilty to charges of criminal mischief after stealing 11,000 copies of the Kentucky Kernel. The students were apparently motivated by racial tension on campus and the newspaper’s coverage of the issue.

they look at is the crime rate. If you are known as a high crime rate city then they are going somewhere else. The other thing is this, we had 79 murders in this community last year, you tell me which of those families I should go too and say, “You know what, I am sorry about the loss of your family member, but we had other budget priorities.” Those are hidden taxes, so we are paying for it now. This area around campus has a pretty high crime rate. We are a better community than that. That’s the way we have to do it if we are going to be a compassionate community. We are not going to get private sector business and growth in this community. We are not going to be able to fund the city budget as long as we have that image and label. DW: Do you see all of these issues as being linked? SK: Definitely. Back to my athletics metaphor. One of the things that are really tough for us in athletics right now is funding facilities for recruitment. We are looking into doing an upgrade on the stadium. The only reason we have to do that is that we are competing with ASU and other institutions for top Division I recruits. They come in here and see what we got. And they go and see what ASU and other colleges got and they’re comparing them. A business looking at Tucson as a place to move their enterprise is going to look at all the factors. Number one, consistently, is what is your crime rate. (Business owners) are not interested in opening up a business at five o’clock at night because their employees are afraid to walk to their car. DW: What about infrastructure? SK: That’s another thing that (the current City Council) turns their back on. We have got $30 million set aside in this budget for road repair and not one penny of it is designated for residential work. How do you call that a core service when you’re not going to do anything about the potholes in your neighborhood. It’s the mistake they make when they say these are our core services by charter and then, when the economy starts to tank, instead of focusing back in on those it’s continuing to try to treat everything as equal. That’s the mistake they make. If you are having a tough time with your paycheck, the last thing you are going to do is go off and buy CDs. You are focused on the refrigerator. It’s a lack of focus.

Newspaper theft not unheard of Pilfered newspapers often an attempt at censorship on college campuses

I

f there’s an upside to yesterday’s theft of approximately 10,000 copies of the Arizona Daily Wildcat, it’s that, judging from readers’ reactions, online news sources haven’t made print journalism irrelevant. People missed the tangible newspaper yesterday. We are relieved that readers still had the online version of yesterday’s newspaper, but everyone on staff was disappointed and angered that someone would cut off access to the campus newspaper. We suspect the thieves were motivated to censor something in yesterday’s newspaper, and that makes this theft all the more troubling. The Wildcat may be a free publication, but the newspaper suffered an economic loss estimated at $8,500 as a result of this grievance. It’s unfortunate the University of Arizona Police Department doesn’t seem to consider this a crime, especially since the Wildcat states on page two of every issue, “A single copy of the Daily Wildcat is free from newsstands. Unauthorized removal of multiple copies will be considered theft and may be prosecuted.” Additionally, several media law experts have informed the Wildcat that college newspaper thefts have been successfully prosecuted in the past. The University of Central Arkansas’s Echo is another example of a campus publication that has lost money as a result of stolen newspapers. In September 2008, Echo lost an estimated $200 when 1,300 newspaper copies were stolen from campus. Given the number of Wildcat papers stolen in such a short time period, it’s reasonable to determine that whoever stole the newspapers could not have acted alone. The Wildcat intends to identify every individual involved. Why would someone do this? Was someone out to sabotage the press, or was the Wildcat a victim of a childish prank? Does someone want to deny the newspaper its First Amendment right? Regardless of the intent, “stealing every issue of a newspaper is a blatant and deliberate attempt to silence the press,” as Editor-in-Chief Alex Dalenberg put it yesterday in an e-mail to the Wildcat staff. Worst of all, Tucsonans and members of the UA community were denied physical newspapers. UA students especially are entitled to their daily paper, as a small portion of student fee money goes toward the Daily Wildcat as a subscription fee. Unfortunately, college publications across the country have experienced thefts on campuses, and in many cases, the thieves acted with censorship in mind. According to the Student Press Law Center, two campus police officers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology “recycled” 300 issues of The Tech after it published a frontpage story about an MIT police officer who was arrested for drug trafficking. The officers who took the newspapers were suspended on leave without pay. This incident was more than just an inconvenience for readers or an economic loss for the Wildcat. It was a blow to freedom of the press. When a newspaper is silenced, the entire community suffers. — Editorials are determined by the opinions board.

MAILBAG “On the Spot” extremely offensive

In the Oct. 8, 2009 Wildcat issue, I find your “On The Spot” by Brian Kimball to be offensive to women, distasteful, repulsive and unprofessional journalism in a university community. If some of your writers cannot think of something fun and mentally stimulating to write for the young readers and the university community, they are in the wrong business, I think they need to consider something else to do. I expect more from one of the leading university newspapers in the country. Have some class, and shame on you for printing this trash.

As a campus, instead of arguing the degree to which this woman may have been sexually assaulted, we should be discussing how to prevent these situations on campus. Of course, the simple answer is to eliminate alcohol at greek events where underage members are present. Unfortunately, it is probably going to take someone’s poor daughter or sister being raped or killed before we stop blaming the victim and instead look at fixing the underlying problem.

Online commentators don’t understand severity of sexual assault

As a proud UA alumnus, I love to read the Daily Wildcat online. However, while perusing yesterday’s Police Beat, I was appalled at some of the online comments regarding the young woman who filed a police report after she believed she was drugged with GHB at a Phi Kappa Psi fraternity party. Many of the comments dismissed the woman’s claims as part of the “college experience.” Others defended the fraternity. Still more claimed that the woman’s report made it harder for victims of “real” sexual assault to come forward. It is a shame that the victim in this case continues to be victimized. To argue that she was not the victim of sexual assault based on her filing of a police report is careless, at best. It is surprising that in light of the recent crack down on inappropriate Greek Life behavior

A call for LGBT equality for straight allies and rational thinkers

For the past year I have been out of Arizona pursuing career goals. Lo and behold as the economy worsened, I, like many others, decided to come back to the UA and get my master’s degree. I have noticed things have changed. Tucson is way gayer than I ever remembered. Example: I was at The Buffet Bar with a friend and out of the corner of my eye caught a female couple making out. Yet nobody seemed to notice or care. A sign of progress! When I walk around the UA, I see people more open and expressing than they were when I was an undergraduate. When I open the Daily Wildcat, not a week goes by where I don’t see multiple letters either from writers or students expressing loud empathetic support for marriage equality. This is surely a major shift from 20042008 when the issue was more often avoided

or given token attention. However, we cannot take our eye off the ball. Even as our community has taken an official stance on this (we rejected Proposition 102 and Proposition 107) there are the forces of hate who refuse to let this debate die. The members of the Christian right, the Tea Parties and the National Organization for Marriage threaten our way of lives as people and as human beings. Those who oppose same-sex marriage enough to campaign against it don’t simply want to stop at marriage. Ninety-nine percent of the time they oppose hate-crime laws, employment discrimination protections, HIV funding, and any law whatsoever that given an inch to LGBT Americans. It’s time to acknowledge this for what it is: hate. The far-right doesn’t just want to take our rights away, they want to see us disappear and/or die. This is the reason the Tea Party protestors are now going after openly gay officials in Obama’s administration. Using words like “homosexual activist.” It is time as students to disinfect the poison. Straight students can do more to show support for us. When someone joins your club who outwardly expresses hate or disdain, either educate them or kick them out. If somebody runs for student government and doesn’t show respect for all your fellow students be it sexual, racial, religious, etc., call them out and vote against them. We need to do more to marginalize the bigots and make them feel like the scum that they are. Over time, our generation will right the wrongs made in the past couple decades against LGBT Americans.

A major in fantasy football is a major in life

id you know that you can major with a focus in race track industry at the UA? What is that? You can major in history, women’s studies, psychology, physics and other ridiculous and unnecessary topics. It’s time we introduce a major that will be more useful to people in the real world: fantasy football. If I can major in any of these things, if I can take “Survey of Mexican Folk Music” here at the UA, “Simpsons and Philosophy” at the University of California, Berkeley, “Age of Piracy” at ASU or even “Lost Wax Sculpture Casting” at Pima Community College, then why shouldn’t I be able to take a class focusing on fantasy football? The UA wants to make money, right? You’re not going to attract a lot of students to the Germanic studies major, so why not shake things up a bit? It’s estimated in a

Harris Interactive study that almost 30 million people play fantasy sports in the U.S. alone, the large majority participating in fantasy football. The industry, according to a study by Chris Challenger, Gray Ward and Christmas Inc., costs columnist businesses over 4 billion dollars in lost revenue and productivity every year. This shows that fantasy football is a foe too great — and if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. A sentiment shared by the study, which suggests that by banning fantasy football, the damage to relationships and moral could easily be more costly than the short amount of time employees spend online managing their fantasy team. Fantasy football doesn’t merely sap money from businesses, it has created numerous careers and tens of thousands of jobs while generating billions of dollars — more than can be said for the field of archaeology (Attention

archaeology/anthropology majors: it’s not too late to look at something else!). How is it then that I can major in anthropology and not fantasy football? Who decides that anthropology is more deserving of study than fantasy football? Think about all the real world applications of the skills developed by playing fantasy football. Talent recognition, for example, is an important tool to have. You evaluate and choose players based on their talent and your expectations for their performance. You do the same as a manager. Sometimes you get resumes from college graduates, rookies who don’t have a lot of experience off of which to base hiring decisions, and instead have to base the decision on their potential. For example, I drafted Vernon Davis, the tight end for the San Francisco 49ers, his rookie year because of his incredible athleticism and potential for NFL success. He was a bust, big time, playing in only 10 games and averaging 26 yards and two catches per, and being

out with an injury for the other six games. My mistake. And from it I learned to be more cautious and spend less money on rookies rather than making big commitments with high risks. It only seems fitting that classes in fantasy football be offered, seeing as how the first documented fantasy sport league was created by a Harvard professor and Guggenheim Fellowship recipient, William Gamson, who competed with his colleagues in a primitive fantasy baseball league in 1960. What mathematics professor wouldn’t enjoy teaching a “Statistics of Fantasy Football” course? What student wouldn’t want to take a “Sociology of MLB” course, or a class on the “Philosophy of Bill Belichick”? Sorry, but they sound more interesting than boring old “Ethnic Relations in the U.S.” or “Ancient Philosophy.” Fantasy football brings people together in social situations and offers a fun hobby for everyone, even those who aren’t fans. It’s a great way to generate interest

in a sport and even in school it should be made available as an area of study. If it’s something a person really loves it could quickly blossom into a career as a fantasy sports researcher, writer or statistician. Or you could become one of the many marketers targeting the 18 to 39 year olds who play fantasy sports, one of the lawyers who arbitrates fantasy disputes or one of the people employed by the insurance companies that offer coverage to people’s fantasy studs should they go down with an injury. This isn’t for me, people. I’m a senior. I feel that the coming generations of Wildcats deserve a chance to study something they love, and nobody loves physics, am I right? Right now I love Steve Smith from the New York Giants and the fact I picked him up for 2 dollars. I would love to have a job related to fantasy football. — Christopher Ward is a junior majoring in English. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

familiar faces

Not just the average slacker

Weekly group brings to campus a fresh twist on circus tricks Every week the Daily Wildcat gets to know a familiar face around campus. Who are you curious about? Please send suggestions to news@wildcat.arizona.edu By Tyler Kurbat Arizona Daily Wildcat

FUN FACTS Highest slackline The highest slackline on record was walked by Christian Schou on August 3, 2006 in Kjerag, Norway. His daring undertaking to cross a Norwegian fjord in Kjerag, Norway at 3,280 feet (1000 meters) — the equivalent of 3 Eiffel towers high — earned him the Guinness World Record title for the highest slackline — or tightrope — walk. The project was repeated by Aleksander Mork in September 2007. Longest slackline The longest slackline, which is proofed by video, was walked by Stefan Junghannß on July 1, 2008 near Dresden, Germany. It had a length of 171 meters. — courtesy ofabsoluteastronomy.com and lifeinthefastlane.com

Astronomy freshman and slackliner Alex Dragotakes balances his weight as he crosses the slackline outside the Douglass building Wednesday.

It takes a special breed of student to successfully walk the fine line between juggling hobbies and maintaining studies, but that’s what these students do — quite literally. Wednesday afternoons are a special time for members of the UA juggling club and slackliners. “I have a paper due tomorrow and this is just a necessity — we go every Wednesday,” said astronomy sophomore Alex Dragotakes. Their unique world lies secluded by the cover of trees just outside the Douglass building, and members say the experience includes food, conversation, friendship and fun. “I really like the people that hang out here,” said plant sciences research assistant Sarah Hunter. “They’re people I wouldn’t know otherwise.” Members of the club come from all around — as students and alumni alike — to toss the day’s stresses away by juggling or balancing on a special tightrope called a slackline. “Slacklining is walking on a piece of webbing that has been tensioned between two anchors,” said undeclared sophomore Bobby Walter. “You can walk, sit, jump, lie down, juggle or do flips off of them. Some people even do yoga on the line.” Getting started is the hardest part, he said, “but what you’ll see is that you only improve after the first try.” No matter the approach, both of these hobbies take a lot of practice, members say. The hope of fine-tuning these skills is what keeps members coming back. “It’s a chance to practice and juggle

with other people,” said chemistry freshman Dominic Bergeman. Bergeman admitted that he fell a lot in the process of learning the slack-line technique, but said it has not deterred him. “I’m just clumsy and that’s probably why it takes me a while to learn,” he said. Practicing such feats draws a lot of attention, but members of the club say the reactions are usually pretty positive. “Nobody really acts adversely. We’ve never been yelled at or heckled beyond just a, ‘Don’t fall,’” Walter said. “A lot of people stop, watch, try it or cheer.” Most people are always friendly and open to learn, Dragotakes added. Hunter is even known to carry around an extra set of juggling balls, and is eager to teach any passerby willing to learn. For her, this hobby holds a constant reminder that can hold true to anyone in everyday life. “Realizing that if you practice you’ll get better and you’ll get through the frustrations — that’s something that everyone can be reminded of throughout their life,” Hunter said. “It’s also just really fun to know that twice a week I set aside time to play, to juggle and to hangout with friends and not worry that the dishes aren’t done or the house isn’t clean.” Beyond over-analyzing the nature of their hobbies, it’s really all just about having a good time. “This is a really nice, shady area that is kept up really well,” Walter said. “More than anything, it’s just meeting up with good people and having a good afternoon.”

Festival showcases Tucsonans, students By Ada Dieke Arizona Daily Wildcat Anyone else getting tired of the amount of big-budget remake films that are out nowadays? Well, at the Tucson Film and Music Festival you can expect to see something different. The festival, which began yesterday and will end Monday, is back for its fifth year. Taking place at various locations throughout Tucson, including The Loft Cinema, The Rialto Theatre, Cinema La Placita and Crossroads Festival Cinema 6, the festival will showcase a mind-numbing array of new films and music videos. Festival director Michael Toubassi guarantees attendees will get a “really eclectic mix of documentaries and features.”

This year the Tucson Film and Music Festival received the highest number of submissions ever, with close to 150 for film and 100 for music. This includes submissions from Tucson natives and UA alumni. Miko Marks, a Tucson native and up and coming Nashville artist, will premiere the music video for her song “Locked and Loaded,” directed by Edward Rosenblum, another native Tucsonan. UA alumni Chelsea Coles and Keith Ozar will be premiering music videos at the Music-Videorama event on Sunday. Toubassi, a UA alumnus, said the Tucson Film Festival started with the launch of his film“High and Dry,”which showcases music in Tucson. It was not long after that, that the festival grew to fulfill

its mission of highlighting local talent. If you are interested in filmmaking, directors and artists will be there to answer your questions. If you are interested in partying, the festival will have its opening and closing night ceremonies at Hotel Congress (“Largo”will premiere there today) and the Rialto, respectively (“Rock Prophecies” will be shown there Monday). One of the new features this year is an after party, which will be held at The Hut on Monday. If you’re a“Twilight”fan, there’s something in it for you, too. Michael Welch, who plays Mike Newton in the movie series, will be starring in “Lost Dream,” which makes its premiere at the festival. You can’t help but be entertained by all of the festival’s offerings — and you’ll be among the first to see them.

Students work to raise awareness

WALK continued from page 1

addition to a five-kilometer walk, the event includes a 10-kilometer run and volunteer opportunities for interested students. Associated Students of the University of Arizona Sen. James Brooks, said he is excited for the event. “It’s going to be my first AIDS Walk and I want to be there to support the cause. Even though I’m not connected personally, there are people who do live with AIDS and deal with it every day,”he said. Brooks is one of several ASUA members participating in Sunday’s event. “We want to support the issue. Most ASUA members are volunteering if not walking or running,”he said. In addition to the walk and entertainment, event attendees will have

the opportunity to view quilts from the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, a project that gives tribute to those who have died of an AIDS-related disease. There will be an opening ceremony for the quilts and a choir singing to set a tone of remembrance, Bart said. Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation is also launching a new awareness campaign this year to accomplish four main goals: increase the number of those who are tested for HIV; create a better awareness and education program with an easier and more accessible format; get the infected into care earlier and help others become more aware of the organization itself. All money raised from the event will help fund these goals within the southern Arizona community.

Woman claims to have been drugged at Phi Kappa Psi party

UAPD officers met with a woman at the UAPD station on Sept. 29 at 10:39 a.m. in reference to suspicious activity. According to the woman, she believed she had been drugged with GHB, the “date rape drug.” She told police that while on Facebook.com on Sept. 26, she had learned of a party at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house. She attended the party at 1011 N. Tyndall Ave. at approximately 9:30 that evening. The woman claimed that on arrival, a fraternity member she knew gave her a drink. Later, an unidentified man gave her another drink. The woman told police she had assumed both drinks contained vodka, as they were both colorless. The woman reported that at approximately 11:30 p.m., she had begun feeling “overly flirtatious.” The woman also claimed to have experienced a loss of both hearing and bladder control. The woman told officers that her friend had walked her back to her residence at the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall at approximately 1 a.m. on Sept. 27, at which point she vomited. The woman’s friends later told her that between the hours of 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 26 and 1 a.m. on Sept. 27, she had made out with three different men at the party. The next day, the woman looked up GHB online and believed she had experience its symptoms. She also told police that she had attempted to contact the fraternity president and had left several messages at the fraternity, but had received no replies. She told officers she was reporting the incident to document the event in the hopes of preventing any future sexual assaults.

UA reports items stolen from fenced yard on campus

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to the university’s warehouse at 1145 S. Warren Ave. on Sept. 28 at 9:25 a.m. in reference to a burglary. Upon arrival, officers met with the university employee who reported the incident. According to the employee, sometime between Sept. 25 at 5:30 p.m. and Sept. 28 at 9:25 a.m., an unknown person or persons stole a Sony VCR and an unknown brand digital video multiplexer, valued at $50 each, from the open bed of a university-owned pickup truck parked in the fenced yard on Warren Avenue. According to police, no damage was done to the vehicle and no signs of forced entry were found in or around the fenced lot. Police have no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Sucks to be the friend who lent him the car

UAPD officers were on patrol in the area of Second Street and Park Avenue on Sept. 28 at 2:25 p.m. when they observed a white Honda improperly displaying an Arizona license plate. Officers initiated a traffic stop and made contact with the driver. Police informed the driver of the reason for the stop and were able to identify him using his driver’s license. A records check of the man revealed a license suspension. The driver’s license also showed that the man was required to be driving a vehicle with an ignition interlock device, which he was not. According to the driver, he had borrowed the car from a friend. The man was cited on charges of driving on a suspended license and operating a vehicle without a required ignition interlock device. The vehicle was towed for a mandatory 30-day impound and the driver was released on scene.

Man reports license plate switch-a-roo

UAPD officers met with a man in the parking lot of the UAPD station at 1852 E. 1st St. on Sept. 28 at 3:49 p.m. in reference to a stolen vehicle license plate. According to the man, sometime between Aug. 31 and Sept. 25, the license plate that belonged on his son’s Chevrolet Cobalt was stolen. The man claimed that on Sept. 10 he had received a citation in the mail from the Department of Public Safety’s Photo Enforcement Division that showed a Chevrolet Malibu displaying his license plate on Aug. 31. The man called his son to confirm that the correct license plate was on the Cobalt. The son reported that it was not. While waiting to figure out exactly what to do about the situation, the man’s son called back on Sept. 25 to report that he had discovered that the correct license plate had been returned to the Cobalt and the plate that had been put on the Cobalt was removed. Police ran a check on the plate that had been switched and discovered that it had originally been registered to a Chevrolet Camaro but had been indefinitely suspended. The man and his son had no idea who would have switched the license plates on the Cobalt and police have no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Wildcats, Huskies face off in key conference clash

ANALYSIS

Defensive minded

Huskies focus on UA running backs as Grigsby returns By Bobby Stover ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Alan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Junior running back Nic Grigsby lowers his shoulder before making contact with Iowa defenders on Sept. 19 in Iowa City, Iowa. Grigsby was shut down in that game and will likely be the key for Arizona to come out victorious on Saturday.

By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona football is set to take part in a make-or-break Pacific 10 Conference game. A win will give the Wildcats further credibility, while a loss sends them back to the drawing board. The Wildcats head to Seattle, Saturday to face the Huskies at 7 p.m. “We’ve been preparing for two weeks now, and we’re getting really excited to play on Saturday coming off a big win (against Oregon State),” senior cornerback Devin Ross said. “We’re going to be ready on Saturday.” The road win over Oregon State propelled Arizona from a possible contender to a legitimate threat

Online reader response to Vincent Balistreri’s column “Without change, soccer will fall” on the struggles within the Arizona soccer program:

and the favorite to beat Washington this weekend. But that’s today — a lot can change by tomorrow. The Huskies have been a revelation this year, thanks mostly to new head coach Steve Sarkisian. “Sark,” the brash 35-year-old, is in his first season at the helm after commanding the Trojan offense as USC’s offensive coordinator. The offensive mastermind has made Washington competitive again, keeping it close against LSU and Notre Dame and upsetting his former school in week three. He’s also turned junior quarterback Jake Locker from a potential great to a superstar, and the country has taken notice. “We’re glad that people finally see the player that he is and that

he’s getting the respect that he deserves,” said defensive coordinator Mark Stoops of the suddenly-famous Locker. “He’s absolutely one of the best players we’ve ever defended since I’ve been at Arizona. “He throws it, he can run it and he’s so well coached in this system,” Stoops added. “Coach Sark and the rest of his staff are really putting him in some good situations.” Locker has one of the strongest arms in the entire country and the size and speed of a running back, making him a dual threat. The junior leads the Pac-10 with 256.6 passing yards per game and has three touchdowns on the ground to go along with his seven through the air. Arizona has spent countless drills

Soccer limps into Pac-10 schedule Wildcats to face two ranked teams from Southern California

I am so glad this unhealthy, negative and very sad situation is being talked about. — Native Tusconan

By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

I am so happy that Leila stepped up to the plate and spoke the truth. I can promise you that if you ask all of the players that quit, transferred or graduated early and didn’t take their last year of eligibility … you will hear the exact same stories over and over again. — adios

The Arizona soccer team will begin its rigorous Pacific 10 Conference journey tonight at 7 against No. 3 UCLA, followed by a No. 23 USC match Sunday at 1 p.m. Since the Wildcats didn’t have a game on Sunday, as they usually do, the team began its weekly training sessions on Sunday rather than Tuesday, which gave it a head start in preparing for two tough teams in the Bruins and Trojans. “Pac-10 is here. We had a really good Pac-10 preparation week since beginning on Sunday,” said Arizona head coach Dan Tobias. “We’re excited to get started with conference play; it’s a new part of our season. I think it’s the best conference in the country and anybody is capable of beating anybody.” The Wildcats will likely have previously injured starters, goalkeeper Devon Wharf (right knee) and forward Renae Cuellar (right foot) back as both sat out in last week’s 2-1 loss to Loyola Marymount with injuries. Both practiced this week and are expected to play to give the team a much needed boost against two

I think the toll for the Arizona soccer program is more like 14 players quit on Dan, John and Lisa over the past year. What does that say for the coaching staff? How many more dreams will this guy be allowed to destroy before the university does something about Tobias? If I were a prospective athlete’s parent, I would not give this coach or the university the time of day. — Veritas It is about time someone wrote a factual story about this program. I was one of the “behaved” parents that watched silently as my daughter started to hate the sport because of this coach. I’m proud of Leila and all the other players that had the integrity to walk away from a bad situation. Nothing Tobias can do can take their dignity away from them and they have proven it by doing the right thing. — Papa

over the past two weeks practicing containment, making sure that players on the weak side are always prepared for Locker to reverse a broken play and run toward them — something that a traditional quarterback doesn’t do. They’ve also spent more time on traditional tackling drills, seeing as Locker’s 6-foot-3, 226-pound body puts him on the same scale as some of the biggest running backs in the nation. “We have to play well,” Stoops said. “We have to be very disciplined in our rushes. He’s going to run and he’s going to get some yards, but we can’t let him run wild and buy that extra time to chuck it down the field.

The Washington football team may be hoping that Arizona running back Nic Grigsby’s shoulder injury is worse than projected for tomorrow’s game. The Huskies’ (2-3, 1-1 Pacific 10 Conference) defense is ninth in the conference against the run. Through five games, Washington has allowed its opponents an average of more than 178 yards per game. This is enough to make Grigsby begin to salivate. However, the Huskies’ defenders are indeed aware of their blatant weakness as well as the ability of Arizona’s (3-1, 1-0) three talented running backs; Grigsby, Keola Antolin and Greg Nwoko. “We have to be ready for all three of (Arizona’s running) backs,” said Husky linebacker Donald Butler. “They’re each talented in different areas — some are real fast and that third string guy (Nwoko) is a big guy who runs hard. Making sure we keep those guys contained is gonna have to be our primary concern.” With the addition of Arizona quarterback Nick Foles into the Wildcats’ lineup as of two weeks ago, game planning will become significantly more difficult according to Butler. As opposed to Arizona’s former Matt Scott-driven offense, which centered around the running game, Foles has given the Wildcats the ability to spread the field and keep opponents guessing where the ball will go. While Washington’s defensive struggles in pass coverage don’t nearly match those defending the run, the Huskies’ secondary is certainly not among the Pac-10 elite either. Sitting seventh in the conference, Washington gives up over 231 yards per game through the air and has amassed just three interceptions — two of which came by Butler. Saturday, the Huskies will face the Pac-10’s most accurate passer: Foles (69.8 completion percentage). Butler and his defense know they’re in for a tough two-headed attack.

high-quality teams. “I’m ready to go, I’m 100 percent. I’m ready to play on Friday,” said Wharf, sporting a bulky brace on her right knee. The Bruins (9-1-1) are on a Pac-10best, nine-game winning streak. The Wildcats know they will be going up against one of the best teams in the country, but welcome the challenge. “Regardless of where they stand in the country or who they have on the team, we just have to know that we can compete with them,” Wharf said. “We know they’re probably not going to underestimate us because they know we’re a Pac-10 team.” Arizona hopes to rebound from a disappointing 2-7 Pac-10 record last year. The Wildcats have a number of young players who will be playing their first Pac-10 game in a tough road environment, so it will be up to the upperclassmen to guide them through. “It’s just like any other game, but this one means a lot more than, say, (University of California,) Irvine,” Wharf said. “Every upperclassmen needs to step up and be a leader and help out the freshmen, because this is their first time around.”

Faultless v-ball is key vs. Oregon squads By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat It’s home sweet home for Arizona volleyball this weekend. Well, hopefully. The Wildcats host Oregon State University and the University of Oregon on Friday and Saturday, respectively, as Arizona looks to return to the winning ways they established at the beginning of the season. After a mid-season, three game slide including losses at home to UCLA and on the road at the University of Washington and Washington State University, the No. 22 Wildcats (12-3, 1-3 Pacific 10 Conference) have to get back on track. And while the level of competition will remain at the constant high of the Pac-10, at least Arizona will play in the confines of its home court. “It’s always nice to be at home, but you want to come prepared to evAlan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat Juniors Paige Weber, left, and Tiffany Owens extend their arms to block a USC shot in a 3-1 UA ery game you go into,” senior middle win on Sept. 25. Arizona hopes to get back on track versus the Oregon schools this weekend. blocker Jacy Norton said.

BRIEFS

Men’s tennis still in ITA Championships The main draw singles rounds at the Intercollegiate Tennis All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla., kicked off on Thursday, where Wildcat junior Jay Goldman advanced with a three-set victory. In a match that was played indoors due to heavy thunderstorms in the Tulsa area, Goldman met Dusan Medan from Marquette University. Goldman won the first set, lost the second set, but maintained his focus to outlast Medan for a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 win. Goldman will try to continue his run at the ITA Championships when he takes on No. 9 Sanam Singh of the University of Virginia on Friday. Women’s tennis falls at championships Wildcat sophomore Natasha Marks’ run at the ITA Championships in Los Angeles came to an end on Thursday. Marks had won three consecutive matches earlier in the week to earn a slot in Thursday’s main draw event. Her opponent in the main draw was No. 3 Marrit Boonstra from the University of Florida, who defeated Marks in straight sets 6-2, 6-3. The tournament featured the highest level of talent in college tennis, and Marks will undoubtedly return to Tucson with more experience from the championships. The Wildcat women’s tennis team will not return to action until the ITA Regional Tournament in San Diego, Calif., which will begin on Oct. 22. — Michael Fitzsimmons

Volleyball’s head coach Dave Rubio agreed. “Every week is going to be the week,” Rubio said. “They’re all going to be really good teams. You just know that you’ve got to try to be prepared the best you can be for that next match and right now you’re just hoping that we can get a little bit better.” The Wildcats have had their wakeup call after three straight losses. The focus in practice this week was getting the attack back on track and realizing the importance of every ball. “We realized that we have to have urgency on the court instead of just brushing it off,”sophomore outside hitter Dana Hutchinson said. Against Oregon State, the Wildcats will have to make all their scoring chances count. While the Beavers (105, 1-2 Pac-10) are currently unranked nationally, they are coming off a win against No. 11 Oregon, snapping a six-match loss streak. Oregon State is

also able to go toe-to-toe with Arizona in terms of firing power. The Beaver’s Rachel Rourke tied Wildcat junior outside hitter Tiffany Owens with this season’s conference-high of 29 kills in the Duck’s match against Oregon. The No. 11 Oregon Ducks (11-2, 1-2 Pac-10) have also kept up with the conference this season. The Wildcats are looking to get back on track this weekend. They currently sit in fifth place in the conference, tied with Oregon State and California. Arizona’s talent has never been in question, but the number of errors in their recent games has certainly been bringing down the productiveness of the offense. Regardless of whom they play, the Wildcats need to keep the scoring at a high rate to be successful. “You just have to be really consistent, get good attack lines,” said Hutchinson about converting on scoring chances. “Make sure you keep the ball in when it needs to be kept in, and swing for the hands when the game is on the line.”

Softball hosts Arizona Fall Classic By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat During Sunday’s victory over Yavapai College 12-0 with their newly-introduced 2009-10 roster, Arizona softball’s freshmen shined. While hosting this weekend’s Arizona Fall Classic softball tournament, the Wildcats will give those young players more valuable experience, playing in five games over the course of three days starting 4 p.m. today at Hillenbrand Stadium. “Right now we’re just trying to get our freshmen into game situations to see how they react,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “The big thing in the fall, for us, is to work on individual skills and try to improve upon those things, because we play a game of repetition.” After their shutout over Yavapai College on Sunday, the Wildcats will play Arizona Western College, the University of New Mexico, Central Arizona College, Cypress College and Pima Community College. Against the Yavapai Roughriders, pitching phenom Kenzie Fowler didn’t even give her defense a chance to make plays, throwing six innings and giving up no hits, while freshmen third baseman Matte Haack and first baseman Baillie Kirker both had successful first games as Wildcats. This weekend, Candrea expects to see them build upon their performances. The returning players are concentrating more on tweaking their own skills and adjusting to their new leadership role. Speedy left fielder Brittany Lastrapes heads a much younger team compared to last year’s senior-dominated roster. “Individually, I just want to have live at-bats, see live pitching again

in a game setting,” Lastrapes said. “It’s hard when you don’t see live pitching for a while.” Such micro-management of her own technique is possible during fall ball, a time for experienced players to have a real-time game experience minus the pressures of make-a-mistake-and-lose Pacific 10 Conference competition. “For the veterans, like myself, it’s just getting ready for the season,” senior shortstop K’Lee Arredonddo said. “I know what to expect this season so I just have to prepare myself here.” Obviously, the eight-time national champion Wildcats will be the

outright favorites this weekend and their goals will be more than to win five more games. Finding team chemistry will make their official spring season that much more successful.

“If you have a pretty good fall,” Arredondo said, “you’re bound to have a pretty good season. Whether we’re successful or not (in the fall), at least the chemistry is there and we’re playing as a team.”

Midwest showcase will dictate Icecats season By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona Icecats will take on No. 16 Duquesne (0-1) today in Youngstown, Ohio, for the first of three games at the all-important American Club Hockey Association Division-I Showcase. Following the matchup with Duquesne, the Icecats (0-2) will play No. 14 Stony Brook (0-0) on Saturday and Rutgers (2-3) on Sunday. Coming off of a disappointing two-game sweeping at the hands of rival Arizona State, the Icecats need to bounce back and show the ACHA that they are better than their 0-2 record suggests. “We have to go 3 and 0, that’s our goal,” said senior defenseman and co-captain Zach Cherney. “It doesn’t matter where we are playing or who we’re playing, we need three wins.” While a few extra notches in the win column are clearly a plus, the Icecats have one main objective for the showcase: to prove to the teams and coaches of the ACHA that they are there to play. “We have a chance to show people in the east what this year’s team is comprised of,” said coach Leo Golembiewski. “We hope to show them that we’re a premier hockey team like we have been for 30 years.” This weekend is the only time the Icecats will make a trip out to the Midwest — where the majority of the teams in the ACHA are based. As the 55 ACHA coaches decide the 16 teams that will go to nationals, the Icecats clearly need to impress. “It’s really critical for the season,” said assistant coach Dave Dougall. “The way the system is set up, you need to have a good showing there. If you lose three, you’re pretty much doomed.” The Icecats’ chances of a good showing

drastically improved earlier this week when three of their top players were cleared for competition. Co-captain Jordan Schupan and senior defenseman Austin Capobianco will both be returning to the lineup after a battle with pneumonia. Both frontline players are not exactly 100 percent, but their leadership and positive impact on both sides of the ice should bode well for the Icecats. “As returning players they have the experience and have been relied on for the past couple of years,” Dougall said, “I expect them to bolster the opportunities we have, especially offensively.” Freshman forward Jeff Back will also return for the showcase after missing the ASU series due to swine flu. Back is expected to come in and improve the offensive attack that was a non-factor in Tempe last weekend. Unfortunately, the Icecats will again be without sophomore’s Brady Lefferts (hip), Nick Bach (sick) and Blake Richards (shoulder). Much like last weekend at ASU, the Icecats will have to make do with what they have, as a couple of losses at the showcase could severely hurt postseason chances. Golembiewski’s club has missed nationals each of the last three seasons, but an impressive showcase is the first step to ending that postseason drought. This much is known: the showcase is critical, the team needs to play its best hockey and Schupan, Back and Capobianco are all returning. Now it is just a matter of putting the pieces together and executing. “We need to play a more disciplined game,” Dougall said. “If we minimize our mistakes, the wins will take care of themselves.”

Arizona at Washington Dear Mike Stoops, why did you ever put us through the torture that was the Matt Scott experience? Nick Foles has arrived. No more balls thrown right into the grass, no more ducks floating through the air, and no more “should I run or pass?” indecisiveness. The Huskies better lace them up tight because“Sunshine”is slinging it this week. U-Dub did beat USC and play LSU and Notre Dame extremely tight, but the Huskies’ inconsistency howls a UA victory. Arizona 28, Washington 24

So here’s the deal: I feel a hell of a lot better about the Wildcats after a little rest and recovery. That being said, Arizona should be more than ready to take on Washington this weekend, coming off of its long bye week. As for the Huskies, they’re still yelping from their recent defeat at Notre Dame. Best bet is, these Huskies are going to walk away Saturday with their tails between their legs once again. Arizona 34, Washington 17

If Nick Foles is truly Arizona’s savior, then maybe he can hunt down the 10,000 Arizona Daily Wildcat papers stolen from the stands Thursday morning. Or, he can simply lead the Wildcats to a victory in Seattle over the hard-to-figure-out Huskies. But will Arizona’s injuries still be a problem? It doesn’t really matter whether this pick is correct in the end — there might not be a paper for anyone to see my poor guess. Washington 34, Arizona 31

No. 1 Florida at No. 4 LSU “You will never see any player play as hard as I will play the rest of the season.” — Tim Tebow. Whether he’s seeing stars or not, Tim Tebow will play, and the Gators will swim away with a victory. Unless Shaq Diesel comes back to his alma mater and regulates on the defensive line, the No. 1 Gators will snatch this one from the Tigers. Florida 24, LSU 14

Mercury ties up WNBA finals McClatchy Newspapers PHOENIX — There is no homecourt advantage in these WNBA finals. Each team can claim a victory in the other’s arena, and that should be some comfort to the Indiana Fever when they face the Phoenix Mercury in the deciding Game 5 on Friday night. In fact, Indiana has won two of three in Phoenix, once in the regular season then again in Game 2. The most important road victory, though, came when Phoenix got back in its fast-paced groove for a 90-77 victory Wednesday night in Indianapolis. That sent the series back to Arizona, where Diana Taurasi, Cappie Pondexter, Penny Taylor and the rest of the Mercury can claim the franchise’s second title in three years. “Our strength all year has been our confidence in our attack and I felt like we got that back,” Taylor said after Wednesday’s win.“We were playing with confidence and attacking every single time down the floor and that’s hard to defend for 40 minutes.” There was no player or coach availability as the teams traveled on Thursday. The teams have traded wins since the Mercury opened the series with a wild 120116 overtime win in the highest-scoring game in WNBA history. In winning its fifth consecutive elimination game, Phoenix simplified its sometimescomplex offense to what coach Corey Gaines said was “one play, over and over again.” That might be a stretch, but the Mercury did move the ball with more ease than at any other time in the series. Time and again, a Phoenix player would drive to the basket, draw a double-team and toss the ball out to a wide-open shooter.

The Gators are heading into treacherous Louisiana territory, but they aren’t scared. With an undefeated record this season, the Tigers will not be the ones to disrupt their momentum. With or without quarterback Tim Tebow leading the Gators, it should be no contest. The Gator offense is going to take a bite out of the Tiger morale. This one won’t even be close; Florida is moving forward. Florida 24, LSU 14

LSU’s Trindon Holliday, at 5-foot-5, probably has more likelihood of getting past a 300-pound defensive lineman than he does getting into any bar, club or drinking establishment. The teensy-weensy football player is fun to watch, solely for those broadcast shots of his head being at his linemen’s waists. And yes, that is why I think LSU will pull it out over the either injured or Tebow-less Florida Gators squad. LSU 24, Florida 35

Dodgers lead Cardinals 2-0 in series Philadelphia Daily News LOS ANGELES ­â€” It is the game with no clock. You can’t hold the ball or take a knee. To win, you are required to get 27 outs. The Cardinals got 26. And it surely looked as if they had 27 when James Loney hit a sinking liner in the Chavez Ravine twilight toward Matt Holliday in leftfield. Holliday came in with his glove down and turned it up at the last instant. The ball hit him in the stomach. Loney was on second. The Dodgers had life. Juan Pierre ran for Loney. Casey Blake worked a nine-pitch walk off Cardinals closer Ryan Franklin. The Dodger Stadium crowd did not leave early and was starting to believe. “Casey Blake had an amazing at-bat, an amazing at-bat,â€? Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. Ronnie Belliard lined a single to center. Pierre scored the tying run. Russell Martin worked the count to 2-0. The third pitch got by Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina. The runners moved up. Martin walked, setting the stage for 38-year-old pinchhitter Mark Loretta. Born near the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica, growing up just east of Dodger Stadium in Arcadia near Santa Anita Park, he figured he went to a dozen

Players to watch on Arizona Nick Foles, QB: Is the sophomore ready for the spotlight, or will his outstanding play against Oregon State turn out to be a one-time thing? Brooks Reed, DE: The junior has been slowed by injuries and his availability this weekend might be limited, but the “D� is a different unit when he’s on the field and he can go a long way toward slowing down Locker. The offensive line: UW has a weak defense, and the hogmollies up front have been fantastic so far this season. Open holes for the RBs and keep Foles protected and Arizona will win this game. Keys to succes for Arizona: Stop Jake Locker: You can file this under the “win the lottery� and “lose 10 pounds� category — you want to do it, but it’s awfully hard to actually do. Arizona will try its best, though. Contain the UW runners: If the D-Line can control the line of scrimmage and stop the run, that would force Locker to do everything on his own. He is capable of it, but odds are he will eventually make a mistake. Score Points: Seems obvious, but so much attention has been placed on the “D� that no one is talking about the offense. The unit can help the defense negate Locker in a big way if they score early and often.

Dodger games a year as a kid, saying, “Cey, Russell, Lopes and Garvey, those were my guys.�These days, he lives down the coast near San Diego. Loretta had played 15 years in the majors for four teams before signing with his hometown team in December. He had been in only one playoff series. His team, the Padres, got swept. He had been 0-for15 in his career against Franklin. He shot an 0-1 pitch into center and the Dodgers had a completely improbable 3-2 win and a 2-0 lead in the National League Division Series. It was so improbable that Vin Scully said: “The Dodgers stole one today. That was unbelievable, even for the Dodgers.� Loretta knew he had never gotten a hit off Franklin. He did not know he had 15 tries until he was told as he left the field. “I wasn’t going to go up there and take a strike or anything,� Loretta said. “I knew he was going to try to get ahead. He jammed me on the first pitch ... “I didn’t think of (the o-fer) until after. It was suppressed in my memory. I was just trying to make contact. That was my major goal.� Because the game was tied when he got up, Loretta felt strangely calm. “I felt like all the pressure was on them at that point and I was fortunate to find a little bit of fairway out there,�he said, calling the hit“the biggest of his career.�

Chris Lee/St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Mark Loretta celebrates after hitting the game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals, in Game 2 of the National League Division Series. The Dodgers defeated the Cardinals, 3-2, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif.

Football

Wildcat offense stays motivated

continued from page 7

We have to play well in all phases.� Stopping Locker will be a challenge, but Arizona needs to play offense, too. For four weeks, the UA offense was all that anyone could talk about, but now that they’ve found success behind quarterback Nick Foles it’s become an afterthought. “(The lack of attention) is not really anything we think about too much, we just think about what our job is,� junior center Colin Baxter said. “What people say and what people think isn’t really relevant to what we have to do. We just have to go out there like every week and execute and make plays.� Maybe the reason that there are fewer concerns about the Wildcats’ offense this week is because Washington is ninth overall in the Pac-10 in both scoring defense and total defense. That’s not to be taken lightly, though. “That’s a stat that we can’t pay attention to at all,� Baxter said. “If we go in there thinking that, they’ve given up all these yards and all that stuff, that’s when you go in there and get your ass whooped.�

ANALYSIS continued from page 7

Huskies rule home

“From what we’ve seen in tape, (Foles) is a great athlete,� Butler said. “He can throw the ball very well, and also move around to make things happen with his feet.� “We know Arizona likes to throw the ball, and along with those talented backs, we’ll have to be ready both physically and mentally (Saturday night).� With Arizona’s offensive attack emerging as its primary advantage over the Huskies, Washington’s offense holds the advantage over the Wildcats’ defense as well. Quarterback Jake Locker is one of the most prolific players in the Pac-10 and has led the Huskies to the top of the conference in passing offense. In Washington’s upset win over USC three weeks ago, Locker’s air attack continuously gave the Huskies’ prominent field position while the junior’s legs carried his team into the end zone for its only touchdown of the day. Locker will surely be a key factor in Saturday’s showdown and one that will have the Arizona defense’s attention all night long. “We’re very fortunate having a quarterback like (Locker),� said

Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian. “He has great poise. I don’t think any arena is too big for him. He’s had the experience of going up against the most talented players in the conference and playing in some big venues, so he is always very confident in any situation — and that shows on the field.� While Locker and his teammates do have experience playing against top-ranked teams as well as playing in the nation’s top venues — Washington fell on the road to Notre Dame last week in overtime — the Huskies will have the advantage of being back at home against Arizona. Two of Washington’s three losses have come on the road in the last two weeks against Stanford and Notre Dame. At home the Huskies are 2-0 and boast the confidence to improve to 3-0 this weekend in front of their home crowd. “Whenever we get a home game, it’s something to be excited about,� Butler said. “Just being in front of your fans all riding the momentum along with you is big. “But Arizona is a good team and they pose a lot of threats, so we have to be ready for them.�

Players to Watch on Washington Jake Locker, QB: Locker is among the top quarterbacks in the conference with a completion percentage of nearly 58 percent and seven touchdown passes. The junior is also known for his legs and has racked up three rushing touchdowns this season. Donald Butler, LB: Comes into Saturday’s game leading the team in tackles (41) as well as interceptions (2). The veteran is a primary leader of the Huskies’ defense and makes his presence known on nearly every play. James Johnson, WR: As a true freshman Johnson has become one of Locker’s main targets catching a team-high 21 balls for 279 yards with a pair of touchdown catches. He has good ability to catch balls in traffic and across the middle. Keys to Success for Washington: Cage Wildcat running backs – Arizona comes in with the top-ranked rushing offense in the conference, while Washington is ninth in run defense. The Huskies must contain Grigsby and the Wildcats’ running backs throughout the day. Give Locker room – Jake Locker has proven his ability to take control of a game both with his arm and his feet. Washington needs to give the junior control of this offense and let him torment this Arizona defense with his two-headed attack. Soak it in – Washington’s last win came two weeks ago in its last home game. The Huskies feed off the energy from their home town crowd and if they can grab the momentum and get the fans rocking positive things will happen.
