Sam Hughes debates mini-dorms By Brenna Goth DAILY WILDCAT
The Sam Hughes neighborhood could soon be home to 18 new “mini-dorms.” The City of Tucson is reviewing plans for The Retreat in Sam Hughes, which will replace a historic Christian Scientist church off of Fifth Street and Country Club Road. Now some residents of the neighborhood, which begins about a block east of the university, are concerned
about what development company QuatroVest Inc. will do with the more than 2-acre lot. Plans include subdividing the land into nine parcels, each more than 10,000 square feet, according to Ernie Duarte, director of the planning and development services department for the City of Tucson. The size of each parcel would allow for two structures under the R-1 zoning code for a total of 18, he said. The structures have been
ed requests for an interview. “It’s not an anti-student spirit,” said Sheila Hoban, vice president of the Sam Hughes Neighborhood Association, about her opposition to mini-dorms. “It comes from a spirit of there being a logical way to keep a neighborhood a neighborhood.” Sam Hughes already houses many students and is affected by university-related problems such as game-day parking, Hoban said. Development projects for students
presented as single-family residences, Duarte said. But some residents are calling out the buildings as mini-dorms, or multiple-bedroom houses marketed to students, that will increase the density of Sam Hughes. Residents and developers in Feldman’s Neighborhood and Jefferson Park neighborhood have already battled over such structures. QuatroVest Developer Michael Finkelstein did not respond to repeat-

UA alumni who own houses in Sam Hughes have extended them for their children or built smaller houses in the backyard, Hoban said. “That has two edges to it,” she said. “It increases density, but it can still be used by a single family.” But QuatroVest’s development plans

Greek Life holds CATwalk race to benefit Arizona Cancer Center
EXHIBIT HIGHLIGHTS UA’S SPACE RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION

Saturday morning at the exhibit with his family. “With it being interactive, it’s a lot easier to get them involved and interested about what they are reading.” Participants should also expect to see an actual size model of the Phoenix Mars Lander, which was developed by the UA and NASA for the Phoenix Mars Mission and was launched into space on August 2007. “The UA has been a huge partner in all of this. Most of what you will see has come from the UA, providing everything from graphics to a lot of the artifacts,” Smith said. “This has a lot of potential depending on what happens and could turn into a road show representing the University of Arizona.

More than 3,000 UA community members participated in CATwalk, Greek Life’s 10th annual philanthropy event, on Sunday to raise money for cancer research. The event, held on the UA Mall, raised $57,000 as of press time for cancer research, education and prevention for the Arizona Cancer Center. CATwalk is the only “all Greek” philanthropy event where all members of Greek Life must participate in some facet, according to Sarah Smith, the vice president of programming for the Panhellenic Council. “All chapters could volunteer as much or as little as they wanted to,” she said. “We wanted them to commit to some part in an easy and affordable way.” Prizes were awarded to raffle participants, as well as the top man and woman in the 10-km race. All those who registered for the event were automatically enrolled in the raffle, according to Smith, and prizes included gift cards, iPads, Nike bags and spa services, among others. “Lots of people stepped up and donated this year,” Smith said. Although students attended to represent their respective greek organizations, many of them were also representing family members affected by cancer. Jose Guadalupe Conchas, a political science sophomore and a member of the Sigma Lambda Beta multicultural fraternity, said he felt a personal connection to the walk’s cause because his mother has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. “Cancer is a really drastic disease, and a lot of people in this world are affected by it,” he said. In addition, Conchas said he enjoyed attending because he was able to come together with his fellow fraternity members to partake in community service. “We (the fraternity) advocate for the community, and we really, really enjoy motivating people,” he said. “I’m hoping to raise as much money as possible.” Anthony Martinez, a science education freshman and a member of the Delta Lambda Phi fraternity, said in addition to attending a “fun event,” he was happy to support the cause because his mother overcame breast cancer. “Her cancer was eye-opening for me,” he said. “I didn’t like seeing her be scared.” Martinez added that his fraternity tries to participate in as many events as it can, especially service projects such as CATwalk. The walk also had entertainment, free food and information about women’s cancers. Vendors included Eegee’s, Sunflower Farmers Market, Tucson

To downtown and beyond By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT
A downtown destination for Tucson opened to the public this weekend, where participants can learn about the UA’s contributions to space and technology. The nonprofit organization Science Downtown along with the UA’s College of Science presented the exhibit “Mars and Beyond: The Search for Life on Other Planets,” and is expected to take up the Rialto Block exhibition hall for the next 12 months. “Is a very visual experience,” said Don Martin, chairman of Science Downtown. “It’s a really cool exhibit, especially in the middle of the day because when you go in it’s dark, all the lighting is blue, and you almost feel like you are in space.” The exhibit, which premiered last Thursday to more than 400 VIP-goers, was created to provide interactive education
about the solar system and what the UA has done in that exploration. After Science Downtown proposed the idea for the exhibit to the UA, it took 50 days to construct the project while working on a 24-hour cycle. “That is from beginning discussions to what you see now, and that is a fact,” said Lee Smith, executive director of Science Downtown. “We worked pretty hard to make sure we got it on a matter of deadline for opening day.” When going through the exhibit, viewers can expect to see facts and photos about the universe along with videos and new interactive materials. This includes a touchscreen globe that provides information about the planets in our solar system. “I heard about this exhibit and wanted to bring the kids to see it,” said Luis Gutierrez, a Tucson resident who spent

Obama: All U.S. troops will leave Iraq Mcclatchy tribune
WASHINGTON — The United States will withdraw all of its troops from Iraq by the end of this year, officially ending the long, divisive war that began in March 2003, President Barack Obama announced Friday. “After nearly nine years, America’s war in Iraq will be over,” Obama said in the White House briefing room. The last U.S. soldiers will leave by Dec. 31, Obama said, “with their heads held high, proud of their success, and knowing that the American people stand united in our support for our troops. That is how America’s military efforts in Iraq will end.” Obama cast the announcement as fulfillment of his 2008 campaign pledge to end the war in Iraq. It has cost the lives of more than 4,400
Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis, with more than 30,000 U.S. troops wounded. It has also cost U.S. taxpayers around $800 billion so far. Obama emphasized that he’s also winding down the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, which he said is becoming more stable. “The tide of war is receding,” Obama said. “Even as we remove our last troops from Iraq, we’re beginning to bring our troops home from Afghanistan.” Framing the announcement that way is likely to help Obama politically, especially with his somewhat disenchanted Democratic base, as he begins his re-election campaign. But in fact, complete U.S. withdrawal from Iraq was not what U.S. military
leaders wanted, nor is it what Obama had been seeking. Rather, both the Pentagon and Obama wanted to station a residual U.S. military force in Iraq indefinitely to help stabilize the troubled nation, train its troops — and deter neighboring Iran from meddling. But Iraq’s government refused to grant any remaining U.S. troops immunity from prosecution for crimes, a stand the Pentagon considered a deal-breaker. So Obama chose complete withdrawal, even though analysts believe it poses some risk to U.S. strategic interests. Most Democrats lauded Obama’s Adrin Snider / Newport News Daily Press / MCT decision, while some Republicans were critical, saying a troop exit could President Barack Obama is swarmed by servicemen as he arrives at Langley Air jeopardize any gains made in the Force Base in Hampton, Va., on Wednesday. country.
Student earns share of president’s Nobel money By Samantha Munsey Daily Wildcat

Robert Jaramillo, an elementary education junior, was named an Obama Scholar this year.
A UA student was named an Obama Scholar this semester for his interest in becoming a teacher. Robert Jaramillo, an elementary education junior, was one of 12 students selected from more than 2,000 applications to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund from all over the country for the 2011-2012 school year. “I just applied, hoping for the best, and I ended up getting it,” Jaramillo said. “I didn’t expect to receive such an award and just applying was an honor.” The President Obama / HSF STEM Teacher Scholarship Program is funded by a $125,000 donation by President Barack Obama. In 2010, Obama split $1.4 million, his 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winnings, among
10 charities, including the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, an organization that has been providing financial assistance for Latinos seeking a college education since 1975. This year marks the second class of Obama Scholars. “I was very surprised and pleased,” said Frank Alvarez, president and CEO of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, about Obama’s donation. “All that was communicated to me was that the president wanted it to go to scholarships, so we crafted our own program that was designed for Hispanic students interested in the STEM field and education.” STEM fields, or science, technology, engineering and mathematics, were topics Alvarez said he felt the president stressed when talking about education. The scholarship awards
$5,000 split over two years to college juniors exploring these fields and planning to become teachers. “Part of the application required them to talk about their aspirations in teaching and why they wanted to pursue it. It was a very selective and competitive process this year,” said Jaramillo, who found out he won the scholarship over the summer. Jaramillo said he wants to become a middle school math teacher for underperforming schools when he graduates from the UA. “I have always enjoyed helping people,” he said. “And what better way to help someone than to help them learn?” One person who Jaramillo said inspired him to go into education was his high school math teacher Paul Dye, who worked for the Sunnyside

School District in Tucson. He said he remembers Dye stressing the importance of college and that he wants to do the same for a younger age level. “I want to give students a great foundation in math and give them that fight to go to college, that is my overall goal,” Jaramillo said. “To let them know that college is possible.” Today, Jaramillo will attend the Alumni Hall of Fame and HSF Education Summit in New York City, where he will be recognized with other Obama scholarship recipients. The summit will also showcase former Hispanic Scholarship Fund winners, who will be inducted into their hall of fame. “It’s an opportunity to showcase these students and past recipients who are successes themselves,” Alvarez said.

before it’s demolished,” he said. For some residents who own property bordering the lot, the potential change of use is an unpleasant surprise. “It’s a nightmare,” said Corey Reidy, who has lived in Sam Hughes since 2006. Reidy is concerned about the development’s effect on parking, traffic and population density, he said. Having large groups of students living together could change the character of the neighborhood, he said. “It’s supposed to be a quiet little neighborhood,” Reidy said. “But we have some renters who are red-tagged every weekend.” Students such as Nick Going, a film and video production senior, like living close to other students. Going moved into a house in Sam Hughes this year. He lives in the second unit on a lot and shares a backyard.
“The community is mostly college kids and it’s so close to campus,” he said. Going said he would have considered living in the new developments had they been available. He said he’s had mixed relationships with his neighbors, but college students living together do not inherently present problems. “Some (residents) are more OK with where the neighborhood’s going,” Going said. The City of Tucson is working on developing guidelines for the number of unrelated people who can live together, largely in reaction to the controversy over other mini-dorms. But whether these rules will affect the structures in Sam Hughes cannot be determined, Duarte said. “It’s a little too early to say on this case,” Duarte said. “Maybe, or maybe not. It’s premature.”

Halloween no excuse for racism, ignorance Kristina Bui Daily Wildcat
H
alloween is just a week away, and this year, I’m going to dress up like a white person. But wait, won’t that be kind of offensive? I mean, most of the reallife white people I know don’t even actually like mayonnaise. A white-person costume sounds pretty stupid, doesn’t it? Absurd, really. But costumes of any minority are totally cool. Super funny. Not awkward at all. Unless, of course, you’re the minority. In that case, you’re kind of like, “What the hell? Do you know any Asians who walk around in kimonos?” In the parade of trendy movie character costumes and sexy (insert small animals here) outfits, there is always that one guy who decided it “Racism is would be funny to only playing be another race for dead. It manithe night, based on every stereotype in fests itself not the book. in slurs and That guy is exclusion, but why I’m glad for Students Teaching in stupid jokes About Racism in and really Society, the force inaccurate behind one of the best campaigns costumes.” I’ve ever seen. STARS, a student organization at Ohio University, created a series of posters just in time for Halloween. In one, a Latino man holds up a picture of a white guy wearing a handlebar mustache, sombrero and poncho. There’s a stuffed donkey attached to the front, so that he looks like he’s riding it. Similar posters feature an Asian woman, a black woman, an Arab man and a Native American man. Across the top of each poster, the text says, “We’re a culture, not a costume. This is not who I am, and this is not okay.” Finally. The “we’re not a costume” campaign may be timed for Halloween, but it’s a reaction to an attitude that’s accepted every day as normal. It’s hard to explain exactly what is so wrong about being a geisha or a sheik for Halloween. It’s unsettling. It’s a feeling I’ve always struggled to articulate — a discomfort that sort of just sits in the place between your heart and your stomach, quietly nagging. It’s a sense of being wronged without knowing exactly what was done to you. People who think racism is dead think so because they don’t see active discrimination. They think, “But minorities are allowed to do everything I’m allowed to do, so where’s the harm?” STARS’ poster campaign calls attention to another problem: Minorities are often made into caricatures. And that’s why Ohio University’s Students Teaching About Racism in Society exists. STARS aims to “educate and facilitate discussion about racism and to promote racial harmony and to create a safe, non-threatening environment to allow participants to feel comfortable to express their feelings.” STARS exists because racism is only playing dead. It manifests itself not in slurs and exclusion, but in stupid jokes and really inaccurate costumes. As a minority, you’re a character, not a person. People dress up as you on Halloween. On TV, you’re the token black guy, easily replaced by some other black guy after one season. Racism is so much stealthier now. It doesn’t announce itself, and it’s complicated. I eat a lot of rice. I’m an aggressive driver. My parents wish I were studying engineering. Sometimes the stereotypes are actually true, and it can be really funny when they are. But I’m also terrible at math and I never learned how to play the piano or the violin. Stereotypes aren’t my entire identity, and it’s definitely not funny or clever when people suggest they are. You have to think twice about racism, about the little things that don’t seem like they should matter but do, like your Halloween costume. The “we’re not a costume” posters make an impact because they finally say what should be said all the time and never is: Stop buying into stereotypes. Stop making me a parody of myself. This is not who I am, and this is not OK. — Kristina Bui is the copy chief. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Police Beat By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat
Pair paying the price for not wanting to pay the price A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the UofA Bookstore at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 17 in response to shoplifters in custody. The officer met with an employee who said he had observed two men on the video camera shoplift from the store. He said he saw one of the men place a keyboard protector in his backpack and the other put a pair of headphones in his pocket. Both men left the store without paying and were approached by bookstore security outside. The officer spoke to the first man. He said he went to the bookstore to buy a folder but then saw a keyboard cover he liked that he didn’t want to pay for, so he put it in his backpack. The officer then spoke to the other man, who said he wanted some headphones but did not want to pay for them. The man told the officer he had money to pay for them, but he was just stupid. The two incidents were unrelated. Both men were cited and released for shoplifting.
Woman struck by bicyclist OK UAPD officers went to the Nugent building around 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 17 in response to a bicycle accident. A woman had been walking her bike north across the UA Mall when another bicyclist riding east turned onto the path and hit the woman. The man on the bicycle said his head struck the woman’s head and she fell to the ground. Tucson Fire Department paramedics arrived and transported the woman to University of Arizona Medical Center–University Campus. Her bike was placed into safekeeping and she was released from the hospital a few hours later with a slight concussion.
Light post problems A UAPD officer went to the corner of Elm Street and Ring Road to investigate a crash around 5 p.m. on Oct. 17. The driver of the car was driving north on Ring Road when she noticed the driver’s side door was not completely shut. The woman attempted to open and shut the door, but she lost control of the car. The car swerved to the right, hopped the curb and hit a lamppost. just left of the center of the front bumper. The woman was not injured and her airbag did not deploy. The bumper, grill and front end of the car were smashed. The car was towed.

RED-BLUEROUNDUP PERRY, JOHNSON SHINE IN SCRIMMAGE By Zack Rosenblatt DAILY WILDCAT
A
sold-out crowd of 14,601 was on hand Saturday afternoon in McKale Center to watch the Arizona men’s basketball team’s Red-Blue scrimmage. After introductions and a dunk contest, the Red squad prevailed in the intrasquad scrimmage with a final score of 67-54. Here’s a look at the highlights and the best moments from Saturday.

Senior forward Jesse Perry launches a jumper during Arizona’s Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage in McKale Center on Saturday.
Jesse Perry Head coach Sean Miller has been talking all offseason about how he plans to use Jesse Perry at the small forward position, and the senior’s performance in Saturday’s scrimmage is starting to make that idea seem like a good one. Perry led all scorers with 20 points on the day, including three 3-pointers, two steals and four rebounds. “I think Jesse Perry is making that jump from his first year to his second that most players do,” Miller said. “When he has a wide open shot from 3, he’s great. He’s improved a lot over the off season and will make a significant impact this season.”

The high-flying freshman guard started the day’s festivities off by winning the second annual Red-Blue dunk contest when he alleyooped himself the ball and finished with a between-the-legs dunk. But it was his performance in the actual scrimmage that has everyone buzzing about his potential. In the scrimmage, he scored 17 points, had two steals and two assists. Former Wildcat Derrick Williams, who left Arizona last season and was taken No. 2 in the NBA Draft, was impressed. “He can shoot, dribble and he likes to pass too,” said the former Arizona forward. “He can really jump out the gym and that’s what fans want to see. They want to see that excitement, and they want to see little guys like that.”

Solomon Hill and and Kyle Fogg are the only locks to start right now, Miller said. • After being shot in the knee and left hand in New York last month, the team considered redshirting forward Kevin Parrom, but that looks less likely as of now. Miller said he will miss some part of the season unless something changes in the next week. “We anticipate him joining us down the road … could be as early as mid-November, late November, early December,” Miller said. “Hopefully sometime between the fourth or third game, and the sixth game.” Parrom left town on Sunday to attend his mother’s funeral in New York. He will return to Tucson on Wednesday night.

RECAPS
Swim and dive powers through Runnin’ Rebels Daily Wildcat staff In the Arizona women’s swimming team’s first meet against Kansas last weekend, the Wildcats only lost one race. And against UNLV Friday at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center, the Rebels were only able to steal two races from the men’s and women’s swimming team, continuing the Wildcats’ early season domination. Arizona had four swimmers win multiple races, including Ashley Evans in the 1000-yard freestyle and the 200 butterfly. Captain Alyssa Anderson won the 200 freestyle and 400 individual medley. The bright spot of the meet for the Wildcats were the relay teams, where the team dominated. Senior Austen Thompson said that’s all part of the plan. “I’d love to see the times get faster and for us to keep improving, but the

“
Quote of the day “I can tell all the fans here in Tucson that it was nothing like ’97 when we won. We were young kids then and I will still never forget that feeling, and it’s a blessing and I’m very honored to be back here today and winning a championship. It was good, it was great. But in ’97, that was special.”

Arizona falls to No. 2 California Volleyball struggles against No. 5 Stanford a day prior, get swept By Kelly Hultgren DAILY WILDCAT
GORDON BATES / DAILY WILDCAT
Arizona swimmers square off against UNLV on Friday at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center.

“I haven’t felt this badly about how we played since we played Eastern Washington, when I felt like I was in the dentist chair,” Rubio said. “We couldn’t tie our shoes right tonight.” The Wildcats also struggled the night before, when they lost to No. 5 Stanford 3-1 (25-23, 25-22, 22-25, 25-17). “Last night, we saw some signs of that, when we just kind of give up on each other, and we kind of rally back and play hard,” Rubio said Saturday. “But tonight, it was just appalling. I was so frustrated and disappointed.” His disappointment stemmed from a few different reasons, one being his team’s failure to take advantage of California missing two of its starters. Freshman Madison Kingdon, who was expected to be out, suited up after not playing in the last two matches because of an ankle sprain.
Only a week ago, volleyball head coach Dave Rubio had never been so proud of his team, but on Saturday, that delight turned into disaster. “Last Saturday, seven days ago, I was as proud as I’ve been with their effort in dealing with the adversity of the circumstances that came with playing Utah,” Rubio said. “Seven days later, I’ve never been so disappointed with our group since the season started.” Rubio used other adjectives such as terrible, appalling, poor, disappointing and frustrating, to describe Arizona’s (13-7, 5-7) loss to No. 2 California 3-0, (27-25, 25-23, 27-25).

now-halted labor talks, said he has no desire to play abroad. “I’ve been at home in Dallas,” Terry said. “I’ve been to a couple meetings. I was optimistic when this thing started. “Am I that way now? No. Not as much. But will we have a season? Hopefully.” Despite the uncertainty in the NBA, Terry said he has great confidence in the future success of Arizona as a program. This faith has grown with the arrival of head coach Sean Miller, Terry said. He wasn’t always so confident that the gap between Olson and the next generation of Arizona Wildcats would be bridged. “I had my doubts. I was ready to hang it up and come back and coach myself,” Terry said. “By (Miller) bringing us back, he realizes what it means to be an Arizona Wildcat.” Although the program has seen changes since Terry left Arizona in 1999, one thing that hasn’t changed is the basketball culture. He said a main reason the Wildcats have been able to get back to a top-tier program recognition as quickly as they have is the diligent work of Miller. “Coach Miller has done an outstanding job of bringing in good class individuals, and they’re talented,” Terry said. “That’s all it takes. “When you have a good mix like that and a coach that’s really passionate about what he’s doing, you can tell that Arizona’s back.”

On if he still wears the opponent’s jersey before he plays: “Always. Always. It’s something, I’m very superstitious. I’ll never change it. That’s superstition started right here at Arizona.” On his future as a coach: “I’m serious about it. I love coaching at this level because this is where you can really see basketball at its purest form. Guys that have an opportunity to take the game to the next level, I know what it takes for them to do that; and get an education at the same time. If that opportunity presents itself to me, I’d be more than happy to get it done.” On what he said to Arizona’s players before the Red-Blue Game: “I didn’t spend a lot of time with them, but obviously my words to them is ‘Prepare every day. Every day you step on this court, do something to make yourself better. To wear this Arizona across your jersey, it means something. So act like it does. And when you walk around, just know that you have a lot of people in here rooting for you. And they’ve brought it back.’” On if he thinks the NBA will have a season this year: “I hope we can get this thing resolved because it affects more than just the players. You’ve got a lot of working-class people that are dependent on us to have a season so they can have jobs to provide for their families. For us, we just need to get a deal done — one that’s fair for both sides — and get out here and do what we do best. And that’s play basketball.”
One win in 16 games. That is where the Arizona soccer team stands with just three games left on its schedule. An underlying theme of the team’s struggles this season has been the way they have struggled against teams in California. That was exemplified by a 6-1 shellacking at the hands of No. 3 UCLA on

women’s 50 free being decided by just 0.52 seconds. Despite being able to pull out wins, assistant coach Tracy Duchac said Arizona has room to improve. “We did well today, but we need to improve on our relay exchanges, speed and turns,” she said. Anderson was proud of how her women’s team competed. “I think our morale is there, our energy, enthusiasm are all there,” Anderson said. “The technique stuff and really starts and other mechanical things can be improved on.” Up next, the Wildcats face head coach Eric Hansen’s former team, the Wisconsin Badgers on Nov. 4 at home. Until then, the Wildcats will fine-tune their skills. “I think we can really gain some time just working on the little things, and that will come, especially when we get more rest and out of the weight room,” Thompson said. “Those things will just come with time.” — Cameron Moon
Hockey team split series with No. 8 Iowa State The No. 23 Arizona hockey team upset No. 8 Iowa State on Friday in Ames, Iowa, beating the Cyclones 3-2 in shootouts. However, Iowa State adjusted the next night, winning 4-2 to split the weekend series with Arizona. “I am very confident in our team right now,” forward Jeff Wadhams said. “I think we are surprising a lot of the nation.” The Wildcats’ weekend had a rough beginning, falling 0-1 Friday after an early goal by Iowa State. The Wildcats answered with a goal by forward Michael Ferreira in the second period, and then forward Andrew Murmes gave Arizona the lead on a

Friday in Los Angeles. On Sunday, the Wildcats faced a subpar USC team and kept the game close, but in the end, fell by a score of 1-0. The team has now been outscored 17-2 in five games in California, losing them all. Despite their inability to find any success in the state, junior defenseman Alex Smith still felt that the team gave it their best effort.
“We played pretty well today defensively, we just couldn’t find the back of the net,” Smith said. “We never stopped fighting. Even when we were down goals we kept pushing back. Against UCLA it was a poor performance but we never gave up.” Arizona will finish off the season with three home games, starting with Friday’s game against Washington.
power play goal less than six minutes later. The Cyclones were able to rebound though, tying the game with the third period. Then, after a scoreless overtime period, the game was sent to shootouts. Sophomore goalkeeper Steven Sisler, making his season debut, stonewalled Iowa State, stopping all three penalty shots. Captain Brian Slugocki converted the only shootout goal, giving Arizona all it needed for the upset 3-2 victory. “Shootouts are always pretty nervewracking,” Sisler said, who made his first start of the season. “I used the pressure to my advantage, and made the saves I needed to and Slugocki scored the game winner.” Sisler was one of two goalkeepers this weekend, as junior David Herman, who started the first five games this season, got the nod on Saturday. And Saturday’s game began eerily similar for the Wildcats, as Iowa State again scored before the halfway mark in the first period. However, this time the Cyclones were able to notch another one, scoring a power play goal just eight seconds before buzzer in the opening period. The trend of power play goals continued for Iowa State as they scored another with six minutes left in the second period, giving them a 3-0 lead. “We took a couple ill-advised penalties and they capitalized on them,” head coach Sean Hogan said after the game. The Wildcats were able to score a late power play goal of their own when defenseman Jonathan Watanabe put the puck in the net with just 47 seconds left in the second period. Yet, Iowa State answered quickly with another power play goal just a minute into the third. And while forward Eric Watters did score less than two minutes later, too much damage was already done and Arizona fell 4-2. “We just played an average hockey game against a team that is a very good hockey team,” Hogan said.
Men’s tennis wins consolation titles, women fall short
— Kyle Johnson
It was a fight to the finish for the Arizona tennis teams this weekend as both the men’s and women’s team competed in the ITA Regional Championships. The men’s team walked away with two consolation championship titles in Las Vegas while the women’s team fell just short in San Diego. “The guys showed a very gritty effort,” said men’s head coach Tad Berkowitz. “After losing their matches in main play, they brushed it off and came back focused knowing there was still another title to win.” In Las Vegas, freshman Carlos Bermudez and sophomore Mario Urquidi clinched the consolation doubles championship after a close match that ended in a tie breaking score of 9-8. In singles play, Bermudez and sophomore Giacomo Miccini advanced to the consolation championship finals. Tomorrow they will battle on their home court to determine who takes the title. Meanwhile in San Diego, the women’s team fell short of clinching singles and doubles titles. “We proved to them that we are going to be tough competition come the spring season,” said head coach Vicky Maes. Senior Natasha Marks advanced to the semifinals of the regionals only to fall short of a chance at the championship title with scores of 3-6, 6-7. Marks teamed up with sophomore Lacey Smyth to play doubles. All looked well for the power duo until Smyth withdrew from the tournament because of an injury. “Her injury was very unfortunate,” Maes said. “We expect her back at practice this week. She is a tough kid and will fight through this injury.” — Iman Hamdan

SICK HAPPENS answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships The Campus Health Pharmacy sells Trojan, Durex, and ONE brand condoms at low prices.
Q How much does it cost to get tested for an STD and will my parents see the bill? Is it a blood or urine test? A. If you are 18 or older, the Campus Health Service will not release any medical information without your written permission. That means your privacy is protected and your medical records are confidential. A question we often hear is, “How do the charges show up on my bursar’s account?” Help us get the word out on this one: All services at Campus Health, whether they are for a flu shot, a sprained ankle, birth control pills, or sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing, will show up on your bursar’s account as a general “Student Health Charge.” Campus Health strives to keep your health costs low, whether you have health insurance or not. To see a provider, you’ll pay an office co-pay of $20. Should you require STD lab tests, your costs from there may be covered if you have insurance (Campus Health is a participating provider with most United Healthcare, Cigna, and Aetna plans) or the $100 per semester Campus Care supplement, which covers all laboratory tests, x-rays, medical procedures, and supplies after your initial co-pay. Even if you don’t have health insurance or
Campus Care, you can still access the services here through our competitive feefor-service rates. For STD screening, these include the following: Chlamydia ($31), gonorrhea ($31), herpes ($44), HIV ($23), and syphilis ($21).* All of the charges can either be paid for by cash or credit card on the spot, or billed to your bursar’s account to be paid later. How are the tests performed? Chlamydia and gonorrhea are usually urine tests, HIV and Syphilis are blood tests, and herpes can be diagnosed through a viral culture, by swabbing the infected area if sores are present. If you think you may have an STD or something doesn’t seem right, get tested so you can get treated, if necessary. Even if you don’t have visible signs or symptoms, getting tested is a good idea since many STDs are asymptomatic. For additional reliable information on STDs, how to prevent them and lots more SexTalk columns like this one, visit us at www.health.arizona.edu. * Costs based on 2011-2012 academic year and subject to change.

Accident accentuates healing attitude By Cecelia Marshall Daily Wildcat
Courtesy of Pete Raisanen
Nutritional sciences senior Pete Raisanen biked across the country after being hit with a pole in a freak accident on campus last year.
Nutritional sciences senior Pete Raisanen said he believes the attitude a person has before a serious accident or injury will lead to a faster recovery. The proof is in his own experience. On Oct. 12, 2010, a metal traffic pole struck Raisanen when a vehicle swerved to avoid a wreck and caused the freak accident near the Student Recreation Center. Raisanen sustained a brain bleed, five crushed vertebrae, a punctured lung and numerous scars. During his recovery, Raisanen drew inspiration from pediatric surgeons Dr. Jonathan Greenfeld and Kathleen Graziano, whom he had worked with in past research and job shadows. They visited him in the hospital regularly and didn’t speak about his initial injuries, only of his bright future after being released and how excited they were for him to join them with their clinical work again. But Raisanen also spoke with a
coworker who had passed out, fallen down in the street and split his head open, leading to a coma. The doctor had said it would be at least six months to a year before he was fully recovered. But three weeks later, the man walked out of the hospital healed. When questions come up about why some people need a shorter amount of time to fully recover than others do, Raisanen uses his experience to inform his answer: “It’s all in motivation, hands down.” After rehabilitation and physical therapy, Raisanen not only returned to school the following semester but also decided to go on the crosscountry bicycle trip he’d thought about since high school. This past summer, Raisanen rode across the country from Anacortes, Wash., to Bar Harbor, Maine, in a 55-day solo ride, beginning in mid-May and lasting through July. “Too many people plan these type of things and don’t do it,
but we need to be doers and walk the walk,” he said. With a tent, sleeping bag and two bike paneers, he set out cross country. Though friends and family may have appeared apprehensive about his riding alone across the country, Raisanen said he was able to take his mind off of things, think through his future, reflect on his life, mend himself and use the ride as a therapy. “Thoughts become things. The only time I got flats or any small issues were when I thought about them. ... Each difficulty brings with it the seed of equal or greater opportunity. Look for these,” wrote Raisanen in a post on his cycling blog. He refuses to let last year’s accident hold him back academically as well. Although he said it takes him four times as many hours to study for each class as it did before the accident, he still managed to get straight A’s and is working hard toward a December graduation.
Raisanen’s cycling adventure also inspired him to write a children’s book on nutrition and cross-country biking, but with his degree he plans to pursue his interests in pediatric surgery and potentially physical medical rehabilitation. Raisanen admitted before the accident, rehabilitation did not interest him, but his experience showed him the field needs people. Raisanen said he wants to let head injury patients know, “you are not an ex-head injury victim, don’t let that influence your future.” His main goal is to give back to people, especially the children with heart defects who he rode across the country for. “They have so many things in store in the future, so many places to go, so many things to do,” he said. Since the accident, Raisanen has been able to take a step back and see what’s most important. “Life is too short to take seriously,” he said. “Work hard so you can play hard and always do your best, period.”
DayGlow to paint Luz De Vida: Artistic the town ‘Blu’ effort for Jan. 8 victims Review
By Jason Krell Daily Wildcat
The world’s largest paint party is coming back to Tucson on Saturday, this time bringing new music, sights and more paint to the Tucson Convention Center. DayGlow, for those who don’t know, is a worldwide event that has sold more than 150 shows. This tour, “Beats, Love, Unity,” “Blu” is adding blue paint into the mix and has three times as much production value as last time they came to town, according to Adam Richman, a regional development senior and co-creator of Tucson Music Fest. His company, working alongside Committee Entertainment, is responsible for making DayGlow a blast, and Richman promises this year is going to be way wilder than ever before. “If you thought our lights and our LED screens were cool last year,” Richman said, “this year is going to blow your mind.” The room is twice the size as last year’s, and that’s good news for those who are interested in going. Last year’s show sold out at 3,500, according to Richman. His goal this year is 5,200. Even so, Richman said tickets are expected to sell out. “Last year we sold out the day before,” Richman said. “There may be tickets available at the door but we strongly advise you get them beforehand.” Speaking of tickets, they’re going for $35 and $60 for a VIP. The VIP treatment lets purchasers skip the line and get a suite of DayGlow swag including a bag, shutter sunglasses, a bottle of paint, towel and shirt. There will be a tent on the UA Mall
set up until Thursday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day,where tickets can be purchased. Debit and credit cards are accepted. Tickets are also available online at dayglowtour.com – just look for Tucson. If transportation is a concern, don’t worry — there will be a bus service just like at Richman’s last event, N9NE Fest. It costs $10 and passes can be purchased online. Buses will run to and from the event. Pickups are behind Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. As for the important part — the music — this year brings Porter Robinson, a 19-year-old DJ from North Carolina. While he may not be a widely known name at the moment, he is an up-and-comer, according to Richman. “He was just on tour with Tiësto,” Richman said. “He’s performed at events like EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) and Ultra (Ultra Music Festival) … We’re really excited to have him as a part of DayGlow.” DayGlow, however, also falls on Halloween weekend and, while it’s still a paint party and wearing white is the most popular choice, Richman encourages anyone who wants to wear a costume to do so. Just be prepared to have it get a little messy. As for the future, Richman hinted at the possibility of some Halloween-themed happenings at the show, but kept it purposefully vague. “We’re working on some secrets that are going to integrate Halloween in it,” Richman said. “So feel to wear your costume, feel free to just wear all white, but remember it’s Halloween weekend and have fun.”

Released on Oct. 18, Luz De Vida is a compilation from Fort Lowell Records consisting of artists supporting the Tucson community through their craft. It is available in either a 37-track digital release or a 12-track vinyl pressing. Aside from the immense size of the digital release and the fantastic quality of the vinyl album, Luz De Vida’s nature is musical altruism in its highest form. It was fully backed by local donations, international artists writing specific tracks, and has 100 percent of its proceeds going to the Tucson Together Fund. According to its website, the fund is the only officially sanctioned place for donations to benefit the victims and families of the Jan. 8 shooting, which killed six and injured 13 including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The prospect of releasing two variations of Luz De Vida is an ambitious one, and the result is nothing short of gorgeous: The yellow vinyl version consists solely of Tucson’s own local efforts, including Dead Western Plains, which features a UA student. The digital release features household names like Arizona’s Jimmy Eat World and Spoon, along with the vinyl album’s tracks and a plethora of musical supporters.
courtesy of fort lowell records
For more info To listen to parts of Luz De Vida, head to jamestritten. com/flr007. The digital release can be bought on Amazon. com, and the limited vinyl pressing can be had through Fort Lowell Records (fortlowell.blogspot.com).
The dynamic that encompasses the compilations is exceptionally remarkable, given the scope of emotions across the releases. Calexico’s “Absent Afternoon” stands as the most pensive track on the vinyl version, and remains a testament to the classic, sweeping soundscapes that have trademarked their career. In stark contrast to Calexico’s
ballad, the uplifting and raucous “Father’s Father” from Holy Rolling Empire is a headbobbing cut that emphasizes on the need to turn to our elders for support in times of need. Kiss and The Tells are true showstoppers, playing ’50s-style barbershop backup singers off of a lead vocal line that recalls an amped-up Billie Holiday. Regardless of musical taste, there is something on the compilation that appeals to all listeners. Both versions captivate throughout with the call for a change in the collective nature of Luz De Vida’s listeners. This compilation is far from just an outline of the immense amount of talent that Tucson holds, although this characteristic of the city is something that few people outside of the community understand but do need to take note of. Luz De Vida utilized more than just a common thread to create a grandiose picture of what Tucson stands for and has to offer in musical facets; inside, there is a definite sense of communal unity that stands strong, from the local financial backing to the finished product of both versions of the album. Luz De Vida is a testament to the resilience and singularity that Tucson has been proven to possess.
Dueling ‘Paranormal Activity 3’ Reviews Y T ou know what sucks about “Paranormal Activity 3?” Everything. As a fan of the first two movies, “Paranormal Activity 3” disappoints on nearly every possible level. Two unique traits within the horror series that formerly made it special have absolutely disappeared in this go-around: a constantlybuilding sense of tension that increased as the films rolled on and a half-decent storyline involving demons and a family curse. The best thing about the “Paranormal Activity” series reveals itself in the best possible way when the writers aren’t lazy. Here, they are. The story now regresses in a huge way, leaning back on familiar horror movie themes. The writers refuse to build on the strong storyline foundations of the first two films, instead opting to tear them down and throw in some generic nonsense that I won’t spoil for you, but should. “Paranormal Activity 3,” by going back to where it supposedly all started, had some wonderful opportunities to explore unanswered questions from the first two films. Instead, viewers are left with no answers and half-dozen more ridiculous questions. If you’re looking for any sort of resolution from the past two
films, I wish you good luck in figuring out this clusterfuck of an ending. The aforementioned creeping sense of fear also kicks the paranormal bucket in this entry. Instead of building up to the most intense moments, “Paranormal Activity 3” relies on cheap jump scares more than ever. The personal aspect of the family’s struggle with the unknown also goes missing; the new actors aren’t nearly as strong as those in the past, which unfortunately cheapens the threatening moments that happen. We should care about these actors, but we don’t. The actors aren’t all bad, however; newcomers Chloe Csengery and Dustin Ingram both blow out their roles as Katie and Randy Rosen and together have the only truly compelling scene in this otherwise boring film. Horror films around Halloween are about as common as M&M’s at a candy shop. That said, there have got to be better ways to get your scares than this overcommercialized mess of a movie. “Paranormal Activity 3” makes the best possible argument that it’s just time for this series to go away and die.

he thing about being a kid in a candy store goes beyond the excitement that the idiom often presents; there’s that sensory overload, “how could I ever taste everything?” aspect of anxiety perpetually hovering like a dark angel over the shoulder of your enjoyment. So it is with the “Paranormal Activity” trilogy — the abundance of both styles and tokens of terror among the cutesy and everyday makes for a text so richly nuanced it hurts your head. Come to think of it, the handheld camera doesn’t much help that migraine either. “Paranormal Activity 3,” the third in a series of increasingly less believable horror films a la “The Blair Witch Project,” is as much an iteration of the previous two as it is a plot-sparking prequel. The storyline(s) — a lumpy confluence of a ghettorigged home surveillance project, children’s susceptibility to spirits, and modern family dynamics — do not drive so much as loop. The third movie takes time to delve into contextually twisted scenes of loose toothwiggling, piñata battery and sibling rivalry, while using a scenic overlay of a familial clutter within the frame of the house. But even with far more of these tidbits to chew
on, “3” is still composed primarily of nothing. The ticking camcorder clock in the corner and the weighty suburban dead space (no pun intended) are the true stars of this show. This emphasis on the thin line between spiritual occupation and emptiness is only magnified by excessive remediation. Between the home videos that seem to comprise the heart of the film, the filming that appears to go on within that past, and the production and packaging of “3” itself, I’d be remiss not to confess to “Inception”-like confusion. It also wouldn’t feel right to part without asking what the eff is so scary about VHS tapes. It’s hard to argue with standards of fear set by “The Ring” … but seriously. All of this is to say that whether or not you feel adequately thrilled, satisfied plot-wise, or sufficiently surprised, there is plenty to look at. “I Spy” books, even, come to mind. Buying your ticket to this 1988 clutterscape may condemn you to a “Saw”-like sameness of experience, but will earn you prompt admission to a Rorschach test of your anxieties. — Christy Delehanty
