Bill Maher’s style of liberalism also alienates liberals

The College Republican National Committee released an advertisement on Oct. 1 promoting Rick Scott, a Republican candidate running for governor in Florida, which created a spat among the UA College Republicans and the UA Young Democrats on its appropriateness.

The ad released by the CRNC was a play off of the popular show “Say Yes To The Dress.” In the ad, a woman who had recently graduated college picked a candidate as if she were looking for a wedding dress. The ad used items like shawls and other accessories to depict tax rates and policies.

After the CRNC released its ad, the Democratic National Committee sent it a letter thanking it for “spending $1 million to show America just how out of touch Republicans are with young

ASSISTANT CHIEF of Police W. Keith Brittain answers questions regarding sexual assaults at the University of Arizona Police Department on Wednesday. ASUA is utilizing a new nationwide program “It’s On Us” to decrease the amount of sexual assaults on campus.

Following the release of the 2014 UA campus safety report, the term red zone and its application has been brought into question at the UA, and officials are taking new steps to address the issue.

Megan McKendry, violence prevention specialist at the Oasis Program at Campus Health Services, said the existence of a red zone — a period of time where sexual assault is thought to be more common — on the UA campus and its time frame is contested.

McKendry said the red zone does not necessarily correlate with the first six weeks of school. While there may be some association with the first six weeks of school, McKendry said the red zone may actually be longer than just six weeks.

According to McKendry, red zone times can vary depending on the college campus and the time of year, adding that the risk of sexual assault may increase when more students are out socializing and consuming more alcohol.

According to the 2014 Annual Campus Safety, Security and Fire Safety report, released on Sept. 30, sexual assaults on campus have risen from four in 2011 to 19 in 2012 and to 28 in 2013.

“We have statistics from studies that were done across the country that show us that a lot more than 20 sexual assaults happen per year on college campuses nationwide and communities,”

ISSAC ORTEGA, Associated Students of the University of Arizona president, speaks about the “It’s On Us” initiative during the ASUA Senate meeting on Wednesday at the Student Union Memorial Center. “It’s On Us” is a national initiative that over 200 colleges are involved in to address campus sexual assault

ASUA senators discussed racial sensitivity, updates on the veterinary school and changes to online classes Wednesday at their senate meeting.

Associated Students of the University of Arizona Sen. Brooke Serack said she has been working on her platform to increase diversity with a focus on Greek Life.

She said she did research on successful programs that focus on diversity at other universities and found that the University of Pennsylvania has an organization called Campus Organized Lectures on Racial Sensitivity, which was founded by greeks three years ago. Serack said she hopes to

adopt a similar policy for Greek Life at the UA. “[University of Pennsylvania’s Greek Life] actually had a very bad incident where they apparently hired black female strippers for a rush party, which is so unfortunate,” Serack said. “Across this country, race can still be a very serious issue.”

According to Serack, the University of Pennsylvania organization puts on skits concerning institutional racism on campus and also has a variety show where students can initiate and direct the conversation about the lack of diversity that can exist in Greek Life.

“I’m really interested in trying to find maybe some type of organization or something that can be founded to really help increase racial

DALLAS — Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan died at 7:51 a.m. Wednesday at a Dallas hospital, leaving loved ones to grieve and public health officials to ponder how to stop the often-lethal virus from spreading further in the U.S. A total of 48 people are being monitored after having some type of contact with Duncan, including four who are kept isolated and guarded at a home in Dallas.

None was displaying symptoms as of Wednesday afternoon.

Duncan’s girlfriend, Louise Troh, is one of the 10 considered high-risk. She released a statement Wednesday saying in part, “I trust a thorough examination will take place regarding all aspects of his care. I am now dealing with the sorrow and anger that his son was not able to see him before he died.”

The victim, 42, first sought care at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Sept. 25, but was sent home with antibiotics, even though he told a nurse he was from Liberia, the heart of the devastating Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The information apparently was not relayed to everyone on his medical team. He returned to the hospital by ambulance Sept.

28 and was placed in isolation.

Duncan received supportive care, and also an experimental drug, but it was not enough to stop the virus.

The couple’s son, Karsiah Duncan, lives in San Angelo, Texas and attends Angelo State University. He came to Dallas before his father died, but was not allowed to see him.

A service in Thomas Eric Duncan’s memory took place Wednesday at Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, where Troh attends church.

Dallas city and county leaders reacted after his death Wednesday with statements of condolence for family members and reassurance for the public.

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said the city “will stop the Ebola virus in its tracks from spreading into our community. I want to reinforce to the public that this was an isolated incident of the Ebola virus contracted by the individual while residing in another country.”

Josh Earnest, assistant to the president for press relations, also responded Wednesday: “There’s no doubt that medical professionals all across the country are more vigilant about this now.”

Duncan’s death, he said, “underscores why the president has made it a priority to stop the spread of this disease at the source.”

Five students at four Dallas district schools who may have had contact with Duncan have not shown symptoms and will not return to school until the 21-day incubation period is over. Ebola shows symptoms two to 21 days after exposure.

The school district plans to make counseling available to students and staff.

Duncan had stayed with Troh and other family members at The Ivy Apartments in Dallas before he was hospitalized.

She and the three other family members who had been confined to the apartment were moved Friday to a home in a gated community that was donated for the purpose.

The apartment was decontaminated by the Cleaning Guys of Fort Worth, who donned hazmat suits and worked around the clock to do the job.

Zachary Thompson, Dallas County’s health and human services director, is asking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to conduct an assessment of the northeast Dallas complex — or recommend someone else to do one, for the “comfort level” of the residents.

Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services, called the past week “an enormous test of our health system, but for one family it has been far more personal. Today, they lost a dear member of their family.”

Youth homelessness on the rise

Man with Ebola first to die on U.S. soil

News Tips: 621-3193

Thursday, October 9, 2014 • Page 2

It was somewhere between leaving her mother’s Arizona house and walking toward the bus stop that the frightening reality sank in: Amber Hough was now homeless.

Hough’s post-traumatic stress disorder and autism were causing “too much drama” for her mother and siblings. The arguments were getting louder, and the crying all the more common. Finally, Hough said, she was told to go.

“I felt much safer being homeless than having a roof over my head with my family,” said Hough, now 21. “My aunt took me in my senior year.”

Nationally, the rate of homelessness among students has increased 72 percent since the 2008 economic recession. A record number of roughly 1.1 million homeless youth are enrolled in public schools throughout the country, according to U.S. Department of Education data from the 2011-2012 school year. Arizona mirrors this trend. From 2006 to 2012, the number of homeless students in the state increased from 19,628 to 31,178, a 63 percent spike.

Dane Binder is the program director of Youth On Their Own, a dropout prevention program in Tucson that works with homeless students.

It’s difficult to convince a child who’s barely surviving that they must remain in school and do well, Binder said. So YOTO seeks to secure the basic needs of its students by providing them with food, clothing, a stipend, and refers them to organizations that can help them with issues such as housing.

Of the more than 1,000, 6th-12th grade students YOTO works with, Binder estimated between 60-75 percent of them graduate high school. He said the level of perseverance the kids display is remarkable, and recounted the example of one girl in particular. The student’s father was deported, and her mother and sister died in a car crash in which the student was also a passenger. Somehow, Binder said, she continued going to class, and eventually graduated high school.

Our Family Services, a nonprofit, runs a

shelter for homeless children, in addition to placing homeless parents in an apartment complex that is exclusively for them.

Megan Sanes, assistant manager for the program’s youth services, said most people interact with homeless youth, at work or school, without any idea of just how harsh their circumstances are.

Hough, a former YOTO student, identifies as bisexual. She never told her family, and the pain of hiding that part of herself only exacerbated the tension she felt at home. It was after leaving her family that Hough found Eon, a Southern Arizona support group for LGBTQ and allied youth.

Eon’s homeless youth program provides roughly 80 teenagers and young adults with everything from bus passes to social service referrals. A sense of community was maybe the most valuable thing Eon’s given Hough, she said.

While 3-10 percent of the general

population identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, these demographics disproportionately comprise between 20 and 40 percent of the national homeless youth population.

Though some parents are unable to take care of their children due to issues such as substance abuse or incarceration, there are mothers and fathers who choose to abandon their children. A parent’s conflict with their child’s sexual orientation is one of the leading reasons for this, said Michael Sulkowski, an assistant professor in the University of Arizona’s School Psychology Program.

Sulkowski said that as bad as the trend in student homelessness is, it can be reversed in Arizona and throughout the nation if it’s approached as a problem the entire community, not just government agencies and nonprofits, must resolve. He said that further, comprehensive research from academics is also needed to achieve this end.

Oregon ballot for recreational marijuana up in air of marijuana in Washington: — The Oregon initiative would allow people to grow up to four plants in their homes, a practice prohibited under Washington’s marijuana law. Oregon would allow users to possess 8 ounces of pot for recreational use at home, compared with 1 ounce in Washington.

— In hopes of creating a more efficient industry, the Oregon initiative would allow for a single business enterprise to grow, process and sell marijuana. In Washington, separate businesses are required for each of those functions.

— In Oregon, there would be no driver-impairment level set for THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana, as there is in Washington.

— Taxes on recreational pot would be much lower in Oregon, in hopes of drying up the black market.

One study by ECONorthwest for initiative proponents projects that the state’s recreational marijuana could sell for $145 an ounce, which is far less than prices now charged in Washington recreational stores.

“We definitely learned the need to implement an effective tax rate that brings marijuana out of the criminal market into the regulated market,” said Anthony Johnson, an Oregon attorney who is the initiative’s chief petitioner.

Voters in Alaska and the District of Columbia also will cast ballots this fall on whether to legalize

PORTLAND, Ore. — Matt Price sells 100 different kinds of edibles, tinctures, buds and other marijuana offerings to the patients who frequent Cannabliss, the medical dispensary he opened up in a historic brick building that once served as a fire station.

Unlike in Washington state, Price’s medical marijuana business is licensed by the state, and all the pot he sells is subject to mandatory testing and labeling.

The 28-year-old entrepreneur says he’s now ready for his next step — an expansion into recreational marijuana if Oregon voters pass a measure this fall that would legalize pot sales to anyone 21 years of age or older.

“We’ve had inspections,” Price said, referring to medical marijuana dispensaries. “We’re already abiding by the laws. So being first up for recreational makes logical sense.”

The expansion of Oregon medical marijuana marketers into recreational sales would mark a very different industry evolution than in Washington, where there is a sharp separation between heavily regulated pot shops open to all adults and a much bigger medical marijuana trade with scant government oversight.

In Oregon, the wording of the 35-page ballot measure assures that there would be plenty of other differences from the legalization

recreational pot.

In Oregon, proponents are hoping to build on the momentum created by successful legalization initiatives approved in 2012 in Washington and Colorado. The state has one of the highest marijuana-use rates in the nation and legions of skilled growers who grow renowned strains of pot on secluded rural acreage, much of it in southern Oregon.

The measure has some highprofile supporters, including Rep. Earl Blumenauer, the long-serving Oregon Democrat who has argued forcefully for legalization.

legal pot is just around the corner.

In 2012, Oregon voters rejected a legislative initiative.

And a recent Survey USA poll conducted for KATU-TV in late September found that Oregonians backed the measure only by 44 percent to 40 percent.

The heaviest support was among young people ages 18 to 34, who typically don’t turn out in force in midterm elections.

“I would not be surprised if it fails,” said Tim Hibbitts, chief political analyst for DHM Research in Portland. “It is very much up in the air and a fairly close race right now.“

McKendry said.

According to McKendry, sexual assault does not only refer to unwanted sex, but it also includes unwanted touching and groping.

“We know it’s happening a lot more than it’s reported, and we know it’s the most under-reported crime,” McKendry said. “When we see numbers of reporting rising, we interpret that as the educational work we’re doing, and

the awareness-raising work about options on campus is working.”

The University of Arizona Police Department is also taking notice of the increasing number of reported sexual assaults.

Assistant Chief of Police W. Keith Brittain said that as UAPD saw sexual assault rates going up, it began to reach out to survivors and encourage them to report, not only to UAPD, but also to Oasis, the Dean of Students Office and other campus entities.

“The numbers did start to go up as we started reaching out

as a university system,” Brittain said. “Nationally, the educational system is saying, ‘Let’s focus more on this.’ It’s a nationwide swell, and we are trying to be the forefront of that.”

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona also joined in a national initiative called “It’s On Us.” The partnership originated at the White House, Pac-12 Conference schools and colleges around the nation, according to Issac Ortega, ASUA president.

According to the “It’s On Us” website, Jon Hamm, Kerry

Washington and Rose Byrne are some of the celebrities who have joined the national initiative.

Ortega said the campaign will address awareness and prevention of sexual assault, and over 200 schools are involved. The campaign will launch nationwide on Nov. 13, according to Ortega, and every college involved will do something on its respective campus.

people.”

The letter continued on to describe the issues that the DNC was most proud to present, such as its stances on young women and access to education, healthcare and equal pay and downplayed the CRNC’s attempt to sway young voters.

The letter ended with, “Thanks for everything you do! It doesn’t go unnoticed across the aisle.”

Zoey Kotzambasis, a political science senior and chairwoman of the Arizona Federation of College Republicans, said she found the ad to be funny. She said that she believes that the Young Democrat’s response proves the CRNC’s ad’s efficacy.

“I think it’s a funny, innovative way to try to reach younger voters,” Kotzambasis said.

Kotzambasis said that she thinks that the Republican Party has a lot of work to do with reaching out to young women because it has always been a voter block that the party has had to deal with. She said this ad “could only help” stir up voters of that demographic.

Amber Hunt, a junior studying political science, Japanese and linguists and vice president of the Young Democrats, said that she was offended when she first viewed the video. She said that the CRNC’s use of targeting stereotypes in an effort to gain voters was a poor decision.

Hunt said that the CRNC should give young women more credit, and, while the ad is just a parody of a TV show, she wondered how much

of a political message was really being conveyed.

Overall, Hunt said she found the video frustrating and inappropriate.

“College Republicans think that this ad is effective, but I think it’s a confusing and outdated way to try to appeal to young women,” Hunt said.

Hunt agreed with Kotzambasis that the GOP has a disconnect with young voters and said that the commercial displays CRNC and the GOP’s inability to reach to their target demographic.

Jenifer Wong, a marketing junior, said that while she didn’t personally love the ad, she did understand it from a marketing point of view. She

said that the ad was stereotyping, and that ads that stereotype are often the ads that get the most attention.

“This kind of ad, when you see it, you’ll think of someone,” Wong said. “Maybe someone who watches ‘Say Yes To The Dress’ a lot. You’ll share that.”

Wong said that once voters head to the booths, they’ll vote for the name they remember, which just might be Rick Scott thanks to his new ad.

awareness and diversity within Greek Life,” Serack said. “Greek Life has been something so important to me and one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I want to make sure it’s something that doesn’t have racial barriers.”

Later in the meeting, ASUA Sen. Elena Gold announced that signing up for online classes may look different starting this semester. Students who are completing fully online programs with all online classes will register the same way. Students who take non-online classes at one of the UA’s campuses and online courses will see their online classes listed differently.

“You will be having a $50 fee associated with every online course that you’re going to be taking and they’ll be labeled as add courses instead of online courses,” Gold said.

ASUA President Issac Ortega announced that the UA passed its veterinary medicine degree program through the Arizona Board of Regents.

In most veterinary programs, students must earn a bachelor’s degree before applying to medical school, which can be very expensive and stressful for students.

“This program allows you to take your veterinarian degree within four years to reduce the costs,” Ortega said.

“There will be a program fee attached to it, which obviously adds a little more stress, but it’s a lot less than going to med school for being a vet.”

Ortega said he was proud of all of the support the program received. He added that he thinks the benefits will extend beyond the students.

“Apparently, a lot of ranchers across the state of Arizona are in desperate need of large-animal veterinarians,” Ortega said.

Maher’s liberalism trouble for Dems.

BY Tom Johnson

The Daily Wildcat

I

n light of his Tucson visit last weekend, right now’s a perfect time to say it: God if I don’t hate Bill Maher. Whether it’s Maher’s support for the loathsome People for the Ethical Treament of Animals organization, his anti-vaccine stance, his comments about America becoming too “feminine” and “sensitive” and therefore weak or, as has been made newsworthy lately thanks to his little kerfuffle with Ben Affleck, his extreme Islamophobia, Maher is the kind of liberal who makes me understand just a little why the red states resent liberals so much: the smarmy asshat who needs a good dose of getting-hit-in-thekisser by one of those blocks of frozen toilet water that fall out of airplanes.

As has been lamented many times, from Salon to The Nation, the Democratic Party has lost its way when it comes to populism, ceding the lower-class blue-collar wing of the American vote to the great red elephant. I attributed this loss in a previous column to the lack of spine in the modern Democratic Party, and while I still believe it, Thomas Frank articulated another valid hypothesis in his book “What’s the Matter With Kansas?”

In it, Frank explains the idea and evidence for how when both parties ignore or exacerbate people’s economic conditions, they instead start voting based on shared cultural values — or rather, shared sides of the culture war. In a recent interview, Frank said that even with the election of President Barack Obama, this pattern still hasn’t changed.

It’s time we slashed the tires on that particular bus to hell, at least if we want to make a comeback like the Republican Party did in the 80s.

That is not to say that those who we fought the so-called “culture wars” for — women, people of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning and intersex people — should be thrown under the bus, but along with becoming more focused on said economic issues, the left should also eject those in its midst who stoke those divisive, sulfurous flames just to appear pure. The idea that they are right and everyone else is dumb. Or, in other words, those like Maher.

People like Maher are more about pissing on other people and making their opponents angry with acidic rhetoric while they sit on a lofty perch of privilege. They’re sort of like the liberal equivalent of that one libertarian friend who really liked “Fight Club” and “V For Vendetta” while missing the point of both entirely.

They aren’t even really all that “pure” in their liberal values, as shown by Maher’s idiocy mentioned above, or in the sexism and Islamophobia of New Atheism.

And their provocateurism is a liability, because research shows that though, like liberals, conservatives value the principles of helping versus harming and of fairness, they also value an abstract “purity,” ingroup loyalty and authority far more than liberals.

So, to get conservatives on the liberal side, we need to convince them that we’re not on separate “teams” here, and we need to lean hard on the economic issues on both fronts.

We need to say that whatever the effects “the gays” have on your ideas of community, the economic depredations of corporate America and an environmental global warming apocalypse will be far worse. A stronger social safety net will make all of our communities a lot stronger.

But every time Maher calls his opponents slack-jawed yokels, this joint effort is pushed back.

Because these smug punters are helping to keep that populist outreach down by pissing on the torch of progress and saying, “No, we can’t reconcile, you’re all idiots, I’m right and you’re wrong.” Liberals cannot abide this within their own ranks if they want to shift the political winds away from the right and towards the left.

But I think all of us, right or left, can unite to agree that Bill Maher can go jump in a lake.

UA plagiarism cheats us

By Paul Thomson The Daily Wildcat

Y

ou know how we get those syllabi at the start of each year, and the professor has to go through each item on the list and talk about it? And how there’s always that part about “academic integrity” that inevitably condemns plagiarism and other forms of cheating and provides a link to the Code of Academic Integrity?

What’s the first item listed under “prohibited conduct” in the code?

“Cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty and plagiarism,” the code says.

And what are some of the sanctions listed for any violation of the Student Code of Conduct?

Expulsion. Suspension. Degree Revocation.

Huh. In light of the recent news of assistant professor Susannah Dickinson’s plagiarism of former student Nick Johnson’s graduate thesis, it seems we have a double standard at hand.

YOUR VIEWS From “Arizona leg needs to invest in reform” (by Emilee Hoopes, Oct. 6) While it pains me to agree with something written on a UofA site, the idea is dead on accurate. We need leadership in this state that is willing to make the hard decisions to help properly fund education.

democrats are generally both nice, caring people but we want very different things.

We want two very different Americas — you with your big controlling State, race/ class/gender equality and anticapitalismcentered America, us with our individual, small government and liberty-centered America. They have nothing to do with each other.

You may want windmills and solar panels — fine; take out your wallet, pay for them and put them all over your front lawn and roof. Then try to see if you can build another iPhone, car, MRI scanner, hospital or nice house with your panels and windmills. But don’t order me to live my live according to your dreams, wishes and very unsettled science. For now, until I choose to do otherwise, leave me as a free American with my beautiful fossil fuels and nuclear energy that are abundant, cheap and bountiful. They have given more to humanity, elevated more lives, cured more diseases than a hundred million windmills can today.

Tens of thousands of scientists argue climate change, global warming, climate disruption or whatever you’re calling it now has been intensely politicized.

Hence, I’ll act like a good, strong, intelligent American with some wisdom.

I won’t vote to radically alter my entire economy to assuage the ideology and emotions of the few.

disagree.

I used to be a Democrat. I offer my comments with respect. The bottom line is that I think the values of the Democratic party come from people with good hearts but when put into practice are very destructive. They are destructive in regard to our precious environment, just like they are destructive regarding our economy, liberty, rules of our Constitution, foreign policy and our basic character as a people.

The Democratic party has rejected American liberalism and replaced it with the values of Leftism. You may disagree.

That’s fine. You may think that the values you hold make America better. I, millions like me, and our founders would have profoundly disagreed. We think such values are toxic to America and its people no matter how well intentioned.

Even with your likely disagreement with me, at least don’t leave college and spend all that money without becoming the best educated man you can become.

Understand clearly what value systems you are accepting and rejecting. The choice is vital to our lives and our country.

Most campuses are intellectual bubbles, almost Leftist indoctrination centers rather than places to learn.

message is it sending when it deters a student every step of the way for trying to take credit for his own work? Whose side is it on here?

A university should be an institution that protects its faculty, but not at the expense of its students. This holds true especially for a university that likes to remind people that it’s ranked 19th in research and development expenditures among public colleges by the National Science Foundation, a dubious honor if that research remains unprotected and if the processes around investigating violations stay murky. This is an institution of higher learning.

There is an unwritten agreement between pupils and professors that both are committed to students’ education above all else. Dickinson and, even moreso, the university have broken that agreement. They have betrayed the students of the University of Arizona.

“Faculty members shall foster an expectation of academic integrity,” the code says.

Police Beat BY ariella noth

“Blame it on the Alcohol”

A University of Arizona student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for a minor in possession in body on Sept. 28.

A University of Arizona Police Department Officer was dispatched to the Likins Residence Hall around 2 a.m. in reference to an intoxicated woman walking around the second floor. Upon arrival, the officer met with the resident assistant, who said that the woman appeared intoxicated and was wandering around the second floor knocking on doors.

The officer made contact with the student, who identified herself. While talking with her, the officer noted there was a strong smell of intoxicants coming from her breath and she had watery eyes and slow, slurred speech.

The student admitted to drinking four shots of vodka at an off-campus party earlier that evening. She said that she lived in the Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall and was at Likins Hall visiting friends, but they “ditched” her and she did not know their room number.

The officer escorted the student out of Likins Hall and informed her she could not be in the dorm without the accompaniment of a Likins Hall resident. He also informed the student that she was going to be diverted to the Dean of Students Office for a minor in possession in body. She said she understood and entered her dorm across from Likins Hall.

“One Toke Over the Line”

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of marijuana on Sept. 28.

A UAPD officer was contacted when a student contacted his RA via text message that his roommate was in possession of marijuana. The student also said that the marijuana was inside a small white-and-purple bottle.

Upon arrival, the UAPD officer was escorted to the room of the student who informed the RA of the marijuana. The student told the officer that his roommate was currently in possession of marijuana, which he knew to be located in a black backpack.

While talking with the student, the roommate returned to the room. The officer proceeded to ask the student who contacted the RA to step out of the room so he could speak with the roommate.

The officer told the roommate he had been informed that the roommate was in possession of marijuana. The roommate began to say he was not but changed his mind and said he had a small amount.

He volunteered to give the officer the marijuana, which he retrieved from his backpack. He provided the officer with a small blue bottle with a white lid. The roommate also gave consent to search the rest of his room for any additional paraphernalia, of which none was found.

The roommate was told he was going to be diverted to the Dean of Students Office, and the process was explained to him.

Arizona volleyball defeated Cal in straight sets on Wednesday to improve to 15-2 on the year

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

In a game of runs, the No. 16 Arizona volleyball team defeated the California Golden Bears in a straight sets (25-19, 25-19, 2511) sweep on Wednesday in McKale Center. The Wildcats improved to 15-2 overall and 4-1 in Pac-12 Conference play.

For California (8-7, 0-5), it was a story of what could have been.

The Golden Bears labored through 23 attack errors, three service errors and had a paltry team hitting percentage of .082.

For an Arizona squad coming off a frustrating loss at Colorado, it was all about getting back to business.

“It was nice to be able to play with efficiency and sharpness tonight after really not playing that well against Colorado,” UA volleyball head coach Dave Rubio said.

“I was pleased how we responded.

Tonight, certainly we were more emotionally engaged in the match, and I thought we were really tuned in.”

The first set saw backand-forth play through seven points before Arizona started to pull away. Behind an 11-4 run that started and ended with California attack errors, the Wildcats took control for the majority of the set.

Cal battled back toward the end of the set, but it was too little, too late. The

Golden Bears struggled with eight attack errors in the first set, which was their second-highest set total during the match.

Arizona took the first set 25-19 behind the arms of senior outside hitters Madi Kingdon and Taylor Arizobal.

“For Taylor, it’s all about her feeling good about herself and being assertive,” Rubio said.

“When she’s really on and really gets after it … she’s terrific. She’s very good and a very skilled player for us.”

Arizona started the second set off with a bang, outscoring the Golden bears 9-4 and looking to be in firm control. However, Cal fought back to a 11-11 tie midway through the second set.

From that point on, it was all Arizona.

In the third and final set, Arizona came out firing and opened up a commanding 11-0 lead over the Golden Bears.

That 11-0 start was the best start to any set of the entire season.

Kingdon led the way for the Wildcats with 13 kills, 36 total attacks, eight digs and a team-high 14.5 points. Aiding Kingdon in the victory was the senior trio of libero Ronni Lewis, middle blocker Rachel Rhoades and Arizobal.

Lewis led the Wildcats with 14 digs, Rhoades finished fourth with eight points and Arizobal tied for second in points with

utzen Stadium went eerily quiet.

After the Arizona touchdowns and when the Ducks were on offense, after UA sophomore linebacker Scooby Wright III stripped UO junior quarterback Marcus Mariota of the ball, it was as if someone hit the mute button.

It was supposed to be Mariota’s Heisman-Trophy moment: he drives the Ducks down the field, saves their playoff chances and Oregon fans get a lasting positive memory from Autzen’s 100th straight sell-out and UO’s black out.

Instead, Wright III, who only received two stars as a recruit, literally stole the spotlight from a player whom Sports Illustrated said may be the best dual-threat quarterback ever.

Maybe Duck fans are better than Arizona fans, but only a handful left right after the strip, as if they were too surprised to move and even after the game, save for a few mumbles about a celebration penalty. They were very quiet as we negotiated our way though the crowd to Arizona’s press conference.

That’s not the way the script was supposed to play out.

The “Scooby Strip” came after back-to-back Duck plays of at least 12 yards. Oregon was driving down the field, but, in one play, Wright III clinched a historical road win, vaulted the Wildcats into the playoff picture and had Tucson talking about football after basketball season’s begun.

A Hail Mary is more rare — Wright III will almost certainly force another fumble in the upcoming games, maybe even strip the ball like that — but the

win over Oregon is the Wildcats’ best ever. They’ve beat the No. 1 team twice, but one was at the friendly confines of Arizona Stadium (Washington in 1992) and one before the casual LA fans (USC in 1981).

The “Scooby Strip” could be the play that years from now is looked back on that as the start of something big.

The play was a perfect example of Rich Rodriguez’s Arizona program.

On Sept. 20, Anu Solomon completed a 47-yard touchdown pass to Austin Hill with no time remaining in the Wildcats’ dramatic comefrom-behind win against Cal. It has since been dubbed the “Hill Mary.”

Doesn’t anyone wonder what may have happened if that play never occurred?

Well, I, for one, question where we would be as a nation today had that pass fallen incomplete.

One thing is almost certain: the Wildcats would not have come out and played their best game against Oregon, and the “Scooby strip” probably would never have existed.

Women’s basketball looks ahead

“It’s a whole lot better as opposed to having girls out all the time,” Warthen said. “It’s fun to get after each other. [The freshmen] are the best group I’ve seen since I’ve been here. They’re all about business. They want to work, they want to get better and they’re engaged in what we’re trying to do here.”

When the season begins, a major piece of that freshman class may still be on the sidelines.

Taryn Griffey, a highly touted freshman point guard out of Seattle, is still recovering from an ACL injury and said there is no current timetable as to when she’ll fully return.

“I haven’t really looked at it as, ‘Oh, I’m hurt, I’m going to pout about it,’” Griffey said.

“I’ve looked at it as it’s time for me to grow up and attack my injury head on and not back away from it.”

While Griffey’s recovery no doubt slows down the team’s overall progress, Butts believes the adversity of last season will help the team overcome such setbacks.

“It was pretty tough last year, injury after injury, but I think it also made us stronger,” Butts said. “We appreciate the fuller roster we have now, and I think everybody’s coming together a little bit more. That’s what it’s all about.”

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s basketball team officially began practice on Wednesday, and one theme was consistent from head coach Niya Butts and the returning players.

Last year is in the past.

“It’s over,” Butts said. “It takes a crazy person to trip over what’s behind you, so we always want to move forward.”

Injuries, a lack of depth and plain bad luck resulted in the Wildcats finishing the 2013-14 season 5-25 overall and 1-17 in conference play.

This season, Butts welcomes in a group of freshmen considered to be the most talented class in recent history, as well as the return of a couple key contributors, like redshirt senior Alli Gloyd.

After missing the entire 2013-14 season due to a torn right knee ligament, Gloyd is

ramifications that only the writers of “True Detective” could truly contemplate, are we really trying to compare a Hail Mary to a forced fumble here?

A Hail Mary is a beautiful, floating swan that gracefully descends into the eager hands of a most trusted and noble knight of the gridiron.

back healthy and will be counted on for her scoring and senior leadership.

“It’s such a relief,” Butts said. “Practice is a bit louder, she talks on defense, she talks on offense. She is constantly communicating with her teammates, what we have to [have] more of and less of.”

A forced fumble or recovery is two sweaty, muscular dudes wrestling over an inflated, rubbery thing.

Not only did the “Hill Mary” deliver the Wildcats an improbable win that the team desperately needed to open Pac-12 Conference play, but it also apparently started a trend. Just two weeks after Hill caught Solomon’s game winner against Cal, ASU did the same thing against USC, albeit in a

12 and was third in kills with eight.

Arizona improved to 8-0 at home this season and defeated Cal for the first time in the last eight matchups. The Wildcats hadn’t defeated the Golden Bears since November 2009.

“That was a really fun match,” Kingdon said. “We came out and just played really clean. I think that everything was just going our way, and we just had so much

much less aesthetically pleasing manner.

If imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery, as I believe the late, great Billy Mays was once quoted as saying, then ASU football and Todd Graham must be really big fans of what Rich Rodriguez is doing down here in Tucson.

Gloyd and redshirt senior guard Cadice Warthen are the only two seniors on what is otherwise a young team.

While it will take time for the underclassmen to get on the same page, Warthen believes that the greater depth makes a significant difference in practice.

Life and times of a UA neurosurgeon outpatient work where people are meeting me before or after surgery.

On top of that, we take call and teach the next generation of neurosurgeons. Day to day, I usually wake up at 6 a.m., get in around 7 a.m., and leave sometime between 3 p.m. and the next morning, depending on how long a case is. But typically, I get home by 5 or 6 p.m.

Dr. Travis Dumont is an assistant professor of surgery and medical imaging at the UA, as well as director of the Neurovascular Program.

After completing his neurosurgical residency at the University of Vermont and fellowship in endovascular neurosurgery at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Dumont joined the division of neurosurgery in the department of surgery just a year ago with a subspecialty in endovascular neurosurgery.

How many surgical cases do you have a day?

The neurosurgeon’s busiest days will have maybe seven to eight cases in one day. Each procedure is highly variable in hours, but the average case is probably two to three hours long.

Daily Wildcat: What does an endovascular neurosurgeon do?

Dumont: You have your cardiologist who puts stents in, and your cardiothoracic surgeon who does bypasses. For neurosurgery, I am that in one package. I do both minimally and maximally invasive procedures that deal with blood vessels in the brain.

Surgically, how are aneurysms prevented from bursting?

An aneurysm is a weakness in a blood vessel wall, like little balloons off the side of an otherwise normal blood vessel. And there are two ways of treating aneurysms: either with open surgery by putting a clip on it or performing minimally invasive surgery by putting tiny metal coils within the aneurysm. We run a

wire through the artery in the leg, around the heart, into wherever the aneurysm is and deploy the little metal coils.

Why neurosurgery?

It started with research projects that I did as an undergraduate. We did dissection under the microscope, and I just really took a liking to using my hands and doing the fine work.

How are your days structured?

It’s variable. My week is structured where Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, I am usually in the [operating room] doing procedures.

Wednesday and Friday, I do

How important is it to work on the central nervous system — the brain and spine?

That’s probably the toughest question to answer. It’s important for every patient. Our patients are touched by neurological diseases in a way that is different from others, and it’s important for me to be able to bring people back to their regular self. This is what it’s all about in the end. Doing something like reversing a stroke at the right time and spot can, within hours, get [a patient’s] arms and legs moving again and their speech back.

UA gets grant to study weight gain and job loss Studies show less sleep is correlated with higher body mass index. How does losing your job contribute to this?

BY Chelsea Regan The Daily Wildcat

Losing your job is one thing, but when it drives you down an unhealthy road, that’s another.

Researchers at the UA will be looking at the relationship between job loss and weight gain.

According to Patricia Haynes, a clinical psychologist and an assistant professor of psychiatry, job loss not only leads to monetary strains but can also contribute to gain in weight as well.

Haynes and her collaborators recently received a $3.1 million grant in order to study this phenomenon. The research team will be recruiting a total of 250 subjects for the study, starting in January of next year.

Haynes said that the aim of the research is to examine the relationship between sleep and daily routine and how that affects weight in individuals who have recently involuntarily lost their jobs.

Graciela Silva, a clinical assistant professor in the College of Nursing and one of Hayne’s collaborators on the project, said that past studies have looked at weight gain and amount of sleep in both children and adults. The past studies have shown that people that sleep less have a higher body mass index. Silva’s role on the project is to monitor data collection.

Silva said the research they are about to do is different.

In addition to sleep, the researchers are also looking at daily routines to see how weight gain is affected in the context Shane Bekian/The Daily Wildcat of unemployment.
