The UA Bobcats Senior honorary group, along with several others, lights “A” Mountain with flares on Tucson’s Sentinel Peak to represent the start of Homecoming Week. The “A” was originally lit before the first football game of the year, but the Bobcats reestablished the lighting as part of Homecoming Week in 2008. The 70 by 160 foot “A” has stood on Sentinel Peak since 1916, and is repainted each year by members of the incoming freshman class.

Excitement launched with pumpkin toss

By Savannah Martin DAILY WILDCAT

Attendees had a smashing good time at the UA’s first Tucson Pumpkin Toss.

Eight teams of middle and high school students participated in the pumpkin launching competition yesterday on the UA Mall. Each team designed and built its own trebuchet to compete in the event, which was hosted by the UA and the Physics Factory, a nonprofit organization that brings physics demonstrations to schools throughout Arizona.

Event organizers aimed to get students excited about physics and engineering, said Bruce Bayly, associate professor of mathematics and member of the Physics Factory. He said he hopes next year’s pumpkin toss will be even larger and incorporate UA student teams as well.

Hari Subedi, a junior studying aerospace engineering and mathematics, said he didn’t have time to put a team together, but went to the pumpkin toss ayway. Not only did the event make the holiday season more exciting, but it made more people interested in engineering and design, he said.

Contestants for the UA’s first Tucson Pumpkin Toss disassemble their trebuchets after teams launched pumpkins across the UA Mall on Sunday.

“(Engineering) makes our world a greater place, it makes it easier,” he said.

The organization started reaching out to Tucson students in March, asking them to design and construct a catapult capable of hurling a 4-pound pumpkin into the air, Bayly said. Although there were not height and weight restrictions, the devices could not be more than 8 feet in width and 12 feet in length.

The first component of the contest was a distance challenge in which the teams competed to throw the pumpkins a maximum distance of 100 meters.

The second challenge was an accuracy competition, in which the teams catapulted pumpkins at a 7-foot wide, 5-foot high wall of cardboard boxes

Injecting, snorting or smoking bath salts may result in intense hallucinations that can trigger suicidal thoughts and psychotic behavior.

But these bath salts are not the kind you throw into a tub of water. These designer drugs are classified under names like “bath salts” or “plant fertilizer” as a cover. On Oct. 21, the Drug Enforcement Administration scheduled a temporary, one-year federal ban on three stimulants found in bath salts.

“The reality is, this is every bit of dangerous as any drug we’ve ever seen, if not more so,” said Keith Boesen, the managing director at the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center.

These bath salts are hallucinogenic amphetamines, Boesen said. They are known to cause hallucinations, extreme paranoia and agitation in patients.

“They think they’re constantly under attack, so they might attack other people,” he said. “Or they get into these very paranoid, depressive states … and patients have committed suicides.”

Disability center promotes access

By Stewart McClintic DAILY WILDCAT

Architecture senior Wes Ward came to the UA five years ago for the Disability Resource Center.

Ward uses an electric wheelchair to navigate campus on a daily basis. The DRC helped him find wheelchair-accessible living.

“I live in VDP (Villa del Puente Residence Hall),” Ward said. “It’s super accessible. I have my own room with accessible bathroom.”

The DRC strives to make a more equal and accessible environment on campus for those who have disabilities, especially as enrollment for students with disabilities continues to rise.

From 2009 to 2010, the number of disabled students in the UA freshmen class went from 220 to 270, an 18 percent increase. In 2009, the UA employed 99 faculty members with disabilities.

According to the 2009-2010 report from the center, 1,485 students used DRC services, including 1,026 who took exams at the center.

Sue Kroeger, the director of the center, said the DRC fights to provide equal opportunities

for students with various types of disabilities and tries to change attitudes toward people with disabilities.

Kroeger herself is in a wheelchair and said she is looked at differently every day, as though something were “wrong” with her.

She said the UA needs to focus less on what is “wrong” with an individual with a disability and more on the design and accessibility of the UA as a whole.

The DRC is one of the most well-staffed disability centers in comparison to other universities, said Dawn Hunziker, coordinator of assistive technology at the DRC. She said the university’s staff has close to 30 people at the center while other universities have about three to five.

Kroeger said the center is trying to make the campus more accessible by making the process easier for individuals who need accommodations for their disabilities.

“What does a non-disabled student need to take an exam?” she asked. “They need to show up.”

Lalang wins men’s Pac-12 XC Championship Women’s team doesn’t meet expectations, finishes fifth in league Emi Komiya DAILY WILDCAT

LITCHFIELD PARK, Ariz. — The Arizona cross-country team’s Lawi Lalang won the men’s race in the inaugural Pac-12 Cross Country Championships on Saturday in Litchfield Park, Ariz., while the women’s team finished fifth.

Lalang broke his fourth course record in four races and earned the

Wildcats their 11th individual crosscountry championship in the 8,000meter course. He beat second-place finisher Chris Derrick of Stanford by eight seconds with a time of 22:37, the fastest winning time in conference history since 1969.

“I was confident,” Lalang said. “The course was nice and flat. I feel I am prepared for anything. The plan was to stay with them for the first 4k and after the 4k just to take off. I think I will take it easy for right now and prepare for nationals.”

Arizona’s young men’s team finished in eighth place, while the nationally ranked No. 5 women’s

team was disappointed with the results.

“As a team we didn’t do as well as we wanted,” junior Jen Bergman said.

“We really wanted to win. To win we would’ve all had to have been on and had a good race. But just not everyone was on today.”

The No. 6 Colorado men and No. 16 Colorado women took the team titles.

Bergman was Arizona’s top finisher in the 6,000-meter race with a time of 20:00. Sophomore Elvin Kibet placed a 13th, finishing in 20:25. Kibet was followed by junior Elizabeth Apgar in 19th place. Senior Hanna Henson finished 28th with a time of 20:52, and

freshman Nicci Corbin was the fifth scoring Wildcat, coming in at 38th place with a time of 21:09.

“I’m kind of disappointed, but this is not going to bring me down,” Kibet said. “I am working hard and I know I am capable of doing better than that, but I am just going to keep my head up and support my team.”

On the men’s side, Lalang was followed by the UA’s second finisher, sophomore Patrick Zacharias, who came in 24th with a time of 23:55.

Freshman Kenji Bierig crossed the line at 47th, followed by sophomore Noe Ramirez in 69th place, and redshirt freshman Sam Macaluso round-

ed out the scoring for the Wildcats in 72nd place.

“On the men’s side we have an extremely young team. Pat and Kenji came through running really well as young runners,” said head coach James Li. “As our young runners get stronger, we will get better next year.

I am really, really pleased. We made great strides with the younger group this year.”

For the women, No. 16 Colorado came in first with 50 points. Second place went to Washington with 71 points and No. 8 Stanford rounded

At least 13 U.S. soldiers killed in Taliban’s suicide attack Mcclatchy tribune

KABUL, Afghanistan — Thirteen American soldiers were among at least 17 people killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, Saturday when a Taliban suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into an armored NATO shuttle bus, officials said.

The U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force said in a statement that 13 of its soldiers had been killed, and news services reported that all were American. It was the deadliest day for U.S. forces in Afghanistan since August, when 30 soldiers died in the downing of a Chinook helicopter in the eastern part of the country.

U.S. Marine Gen. John R. Allen, commander of ISAF, said he was “saddened and outraged” by the attacks and that the insurgents were trying “to hide the fact that they are losing territory, support and the will to fight.”

The attack took place in front of the American university not far from a U.S.-run military base on a route often used by coalition forces. Gen. Mohammed Ayob Salangi, the police chief of Kabul, said that at least four Afghans were killed, including two schoolchildren, a bicyclist and a police officer.

An eyewitness at the scene saw thick plumes of smoke rising from a burning military bus that contained the badly mangled bodies of soldiers in uniform. The blackened wreckage of vehicles littered the area. At least two ISAF helicopters landed near the site and evacuated the bodies and wounded.

Afghan and NATO security forces cordoned off the bombing site. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack through its spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, who said that the car bomb carried 700 kilograms of explosives — more than 1,500 pounds.

The Taliban also confirmed that civilians had been killed and wounded. The insurgent group often exaggerates the extent of its attacks and almost never acknowledges civilian

casualties.

NATO officials say that the insurgent group is weakened and on the run, but it nevertheless remains capable of carrying out spectacular attacks in the heart of Kabul, as it has done multiple times this year.

In a similar attack in May 2010, in the same area of Kabul, a Taliban suicide bomber struck a U.S. military convoy, killing 18 people, including five U.S. soldiers.

Saturday morning’s bombing was one of several violent incidents around the country targeting either the U.S.-led coalition or Afghan government offices.

As Taliban insurgents continue their attacks across the country, NATO and the United Nations are giving sharply different pictures of the violence in Afghanistan. While NATO officials announced a significant drop in attacks on Afghan and foreign forces over the summer, a United Nations report released in September showed that violence against civilians had risen to its highest levels of the decade-long war.

In the southern province of Uruzgan, an insurgent wearing an Afghan national army uniform killed three Australian service members, according to an ISAF statement. The shooter was also killed in the incident.

In the eastern province of Kunar, a female teenage suicide bomber struck near the provincial office of the National Directorate for Security, the main Afghan intelligence agency. One civilian was killed and seven others were injured, including five police officers, provincial officials said.

A police official who wasn’t authorized to be quoted by name said that a second female suicide bomber in the area managed to escape. It was at least the second case of a female suicide bomber in Kunar; last June, a woman detonated a suicide vest concealed beneath her burka, a full-body cloak worn by many Afghan women, killing two U.S. soldiers and injuring scores of civilians.

Flood victims try to return home, as rising waters threaten parts of Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday. Hundreds of factories closed in the central Thai province of Ayutthaya and Nonthaburi as the floodwaters began to reach Bangkok.

Continued Thai flooding raising disk drive prices Mcclatchy tribune

SAN FRANCISCO — Continued flooding in Bangkok, and throughout Thailand is resulting in higher prices for computer hard drives and is expected to affect PC distribution channels through the end of the year.

Companies such as Seagate Technology and Western Digital Corp. have hard-drive manufacturing facilities in Thailand, which is second only to China as a supplier of harddisk drives.

Western Digital recently warned that its operations in the country have been impacted by plant closures resulting from the nation’s worst flooding in decades.

Technology research firm IHS iSuppli has estimated that worldwide shipments of hard drives could fall by 30

percent during the last three months of the year. Reuters reported that some retailers contacted have raised the average price on a hard drive to $90 from $60.

In addition to closing the operations of several tech manufacturers, the flooding in Thailand is blamed for causing the deaths of 377 people since July.

In Bangkok on Saturday, volunteers raced to shore up the city’s defenses against a massive flow of water that has already inundated parts of the capital and a vast swath of countryside, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Swelling high tides, expected to peak this weekend, on the Chao Phraya River that winds through the heart of the city make the weekend critical, the Journal said.

Rising water levels sweeping in from the Gulf of Thailand were flooding riverside districts such as Bangkok’s Chinatown and making it difficult to channel floodwaters from upstream out to the ocean, according to the report.

Samsung Electronics Co. warned on Friday that sales of personal computers could be affected by a shortage of hard-disk drives, while Taiwanese computer maker Acer Inc. said it is raising PC and notebook prices as hard-drive prices rise, the Journal reported.

With floodwaters not expected to recede for weeks, Acer Chief Executive J.T. Wang said fourth-quarter sales could fall 5 percent to 10 percent compared with the third quarter, according to the Journal.

The Daily Wildcat’s print edition was also named a Pacemaker award finalist for the 2010-2011 year.

marketing ploy to get past U.S. regulations, Boesen said. The idea for manufacturers was to make the drugs appear as though they were selling as a bath product.

Ramona Sanchez, a public information officer for the DEA, said 37 states have taken action to control these synthetic stimulants. The DEA ban shows its commitment to keeping streets safe, she said.

“It will now be seen as a federal violation if anyone is caught in possession or selling them,” Sanchez said.

Environmental accessibility is the main focus of the center, Kroeger said.

She said it is trying to make everything more accessible, including the way disabled students move around campus and the way they access the information being taught.

tossing at 1 p.m.

Students, families, and community members gathered on the sidewalk in front of the Meinel Optical Sciences building to watch the competition. At the start of the distance contest, three trebuchets sat side-byside on the grass and each team stood ready to fire. The crowd cheered as the first round of pumpkins shattered on the

Mall, splattering the grass with orange.

Matt Bush, a third-year mathematics graduate student, said he built trebuchets when he was in high school and attended the pumpkin toss because he thought it would be fun to see the competition.

“Chucking a pumpkin a hundred yards” teaches students critical thinking skills

and problem solving, he said.

“In their quest to make something cool happen, they learn a lot of scientific principles that if they were presented in a dry textbook manner they wouldn’t be interesting,” he said.

According to Recycling Program Coordinator David Munro, the UA club Compost Cats plans to compost the pumpkin casualties.

have been called in, Boesen said.

There have been a consistent number of cases every month, he said. There were nine in August, nine in September and eight in October. There were less than 10 cases for all of 2010.

Laura Denton, a physiology freshman, said bath salts still seem to be under the radar in terms of students knowing about their uses, but said the ban could be helpful.

“It’s taking away the opportunity for people to hurt themselves,” she said.

Boesen said he doesn’t know whether the bath salts are now being purchased online or at local smoke shops.

Stores such as Hippie Gypsy, Moon Smoke Shop, and Epic Smoke Hookah and Glass do not sell bath salts. But people do call in and ask about them all the time, said Marcus Letter, the store manager at Epic Smoke

Hookah and Glass.

A while back, Letter said he researched the bath salts and decided there was “no way” he would sell them at the shop because of how harmful they are.

Boesen said most of the bath salt cases have involved college students and teenagers.

However, the last two patients were in their 40s and 50s.

“The problem we’ve seen with bath salts is the effects seem pretty unpredictable compared to what we’ve seen with methamphetamines or cocaine,” he said.

Those suffering from the effects of the bath salts don’t necessarily respond well to conventional drugs given to them to treat the symptoms. It can sometimes take a few days for patients to come out of their delusional state, Boesen said.

“Even if you used it once and didn’t have a problem, there’s a

very good chance you will have a problem eventually.”

Patients who have used the drugs for shorter periods of time have gone into psychotic and delusional states where they have been admitted to psychological facilities, he said.

People making the bath salts use cheap ingredients that may not be mixed with the same amount of chemicals each time, Boesen said. They just want to make the biggest profit.

Poison centers across the country continuously collect data on symptoms people have to help build an idea of what’s happening, he added.

“The hard part is the chemicals keep changing, so we don’t know which chemicals are causing which problems necessarily, and that’s still trying to be figured out,” Boesen said. “This is a lesson we don’t need to learn if people would stop using it.”

forced to find alternative entrances into buildings, such as Sahuaro Hall, which has stairs leading to its main entrance.

Kroeger said when a specific purchase needs to be made to make an accommodation for a disabled student, it is thought of as “expensive.”

“The public sometimes sees disability as high cost,” Kroeger said.

Specific accommodations include sign language interpreters, captioning for visual media, note-takers and exam accommodations such as a time extension.

In addition, a program called Jobs With Access Speech is provided for blind students. The textto-speech program does not require a keyboard or

mouse.

Although these are regularly provided services for students with disabilities, exact accommodations depend on the individual case.

Kroeger said the university also has the best adaptive athletic program in the country. Competition is a part of the human condition and everyone should have the same right to compete in a sport of their choice, she said. According to the DRC report, 75 students with disabilities participated on sports teams in 2009-2010.

The DRC prides itself on being one of the best programs in the country, Kroeger said.

“We believe that access is our problem, she said, “not the students.”

Academia doesn’t include reality TV Storm Byrd Daily Wildcat

D

espite everything there is to study in the world (the dependence on technology, the motivation behind the “occupy” movements and how we view race in the modern day for example), academia has somehow become jaded. Apparently, these things just don’t seem to be interesting enough to dissect and discuss anymore. Thus, we’re left with a legitimate “academic” dissection of the reality television show, “Jersey Shore.”

At the UChicago Conference on Jersey Shore Studies this past Friday, a supposed “academic discussion” took place. A senior at the University of Chicago, David Showalter, organized and secured funding for the conference without any support from the university. Interestingly enough, the event was attended by an estimated couple hundred people throughout the day and was split into four sessions, according to The New York Times. Believe it or not, the conference is being called academic, thanks to the label of cultural studies.

This conference had a multitude of presentations, the topics of which ranged from the show’s self-aware nature to how difficult it is to live their lifestyles of “GTL” (Gym-Tan-Laundry).

I’m not quite sure what’s more upsetting, the fact that a conference of supposed academics sat around and talked about an obnoxious “reality” television show, or that there was actually someone who funded this. Now, I’m not entirely ignorant of the fact that there are people out there who legitimately enjoy the show — there are vapid people everywhere — but what I truly don’t understand is that there is someone willing to finance an event that amounts to nothing more than analyzing a false reality.

You can trump up that there are interesting character dynamics on the show or that certain events have appealing outcomes on the people not involved with the show, but ultimately you’re breaking down a borderline fictional event that takes place on a channel so backwards it calls itself “music television” despite its lack of anything of the sort.

Nonetheless, “Jersey Shore,” and most any reality show for that matter, is so diluted from reality and so disconnected with it, that what you’re seeing is such a tainted version that it can’t be called reality. Thus, your “academic discourse” is hardly academic at all.

But wait, we analyze fictional literature, why we can’t analyze a fictional show? That would be a good counterpoint, if we were doing so from literary lenses perhaps, and if this was something of value to dissect. But to claim that what’s happening in the show is cultural is flat-out false. The only cultural phenomenon to study is how the show has become so popular. How is it this show is still running? Why are people watching characters run around drinking, dancing, having sex and fighting among themselves and others? What’s so interesting about that? It’s not as though it’s somehow taboo or out of the ordinary. If you’re interested in such a lifestyle why not just go experience it? All you need is a disgusting tan, some whey protein and whole lot of alcohol.

Ultimately though, I have no clue why people watch this show.

Perhaps that’s something to analyze rather than the “real” cultural events happening within the show. I’m simply dumbfounded as to why someone would organize, or fund, a conference on such a horrible footnote of American history. This is such an atrocity, it’s almost as though it’s a sign of the apocalypse. Yes, there were only four horsemen of the apocalypse, but maybe we should add a fifth just for good measure: conquest, war, famine, death … and Snooki.

If such an extreme initiative passes, and fertilized eggs are given their own full legal rights as independent “people,” there’s little to keep anti-abortion efforts from escalating.

The Mississippi initiative is just a sneaky, slippery slope toward more limits on reproductive rights.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Dan the man with the spray paint can A University of Arizona Police Department officer met with a Parking and Transportation Services employee on Tuesday who reported graffiti in Main Gate Parking Garage. The graffiti was written in orange paint and said “Dan?” The officer photographed the graffiti and placed the photos into UAPD property and evidence. The PTS employee did not know when the vandalism occurred. Victim’s rights forms were mailed to the UA.

Couldn’t Zig Zag out of a citation UAPD officers went to Babcock Residence Hall at 9:50 p.m. on Tuesday in response to a smell of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. The officers knocked on the door of the room and a man answered. When the man opened the door, the officer noticed that the smell of marijuana became stronger. One of the residents and two other men were also in the room. The resident admitted to smoking a joint about an hour earlier. He told the officer he bought about 2.5 grams of marijuana from a friend a few days earlier and he kept it in the bathroom. The man said he rolled the marijuana into a joint using Zig Zag rolling paper. He said he had smoked marijuana in his room before and nothing had happened. In the bathroom, the officer found a metal grinder, 2.5 grams of loose marijuana, Zig Zag rolling papers, and a plastic tube-shaped filter called a “smokebuddy.” The man explained that he blows the smoke into the device and it is supposed to eliminate the odor. The man also gave the officer two pipes he had in his backpack. He was cited and released for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The other three men tested negative for signs of marijuana use and were released.

Unlucky driver unable to unlock door A UAPD officer went to a parking lot on Cherry Avenue at 8 p.m. on Tuesday in response to a report of a damaged car.

The officer met with the owner of the Chevy Silverado pickup truck who reported someone had damaged the lock on his driver’s side door. The man said his sister had parked his car in the lot next to the Student Recreation Center around 5:45 p.m. When she returned to the car at 8:50 p.m., she was unable to unlock the door because the door lock had been punched in. The man said nothing appeared to be missing from the car. He estimated it would cost more than $300 to repair the damage. There was no evidence to determine who might have damaged the truck. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Stolen bike A UAPD officer spoke with a man by phone on Tuesday about a stolen bicycle. The man said he had locked his green Malgrave Star bike to the racks at Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall with a U-Lock on Oct. 21. When he returned to the bike racks on Tuesday, he noticed his bike and lock were missing. The man provided the officer with the serial number, but did not know the value of the bike. A victim’s rights form was mailed to the man.

Found debit card A UAPD officer went to the Sixth Street Parking Garage at 6 p.m. on Tuesday. Someone had turned in a debit card with a beach scene in the background to the cashier earlier in the day. The officer searched for the owner listed on the card in the UA phonebook and emailed the owner to retrieve his card from UAPD property and evidence.

Jesse Leon, assistant manager at Raging Sage, said that with a solid footing in Tucson, the store has no plans to expand to other cities.

“We like the family vibe of Tucson,” Leon said. “We could grow bigger if we wanted, but there’s nowhere that could offer the same type of atmosphere as Tucson. Our online site primarily exists to serve as a source for out-of-staters to get their fix of our beans, but it’s not our focus — Tucson is. And we’re happy to keep it that way.”

‘Rum Diary’ intoxicates, enthralls moviegoers

By Greg Gonzales Daily Wildcat

If there’s a time to share a toast, it’s now.

Another one of the late Hunter S. Thompson’s novels, “The Rum Diary,” has made it to the big screen.

Without a doubt, it’s right up in the ranks with “Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas,” which was the only other one of Thompson’s novels to hit the theaters. With a manuscript dug out of the Good Doctor’s own basement by actor Johnny Depp, it’s safe to go to this film with high expectations.

The story follows Paul Kemp, an American freelance journalist, into the world of the San Juan Star, a failing newspaper in 1950s Puerto Rico. First, we’re shown the world of the tourists: planes, gigantic resorts, drunken nights and plenty of tan women.

In fact, Paul Kemp’s quote in the movie seems to speak to the heart of the entire piece: “I put the bastards of this world on notice that I do not have their best interests at heart. I will try and speak for my reader. That is my promise, and it will be a voice of ink and rage.”

If you’ve ever read Thompson, you’ll know he’s always had a knack

Photo courtesy of IMDB.com

for pointing out the illusory nature of the American Dream in his writing.

His ability to find nobility among the freaky people steams up from the ink on every page. The movie interpretations are no exception, as Kemp sets out to find his voice in writing, to bring real news to a corrupt paper and to bring justice to the greedy bastards who are polluting Puerto Rico and nearby islands with hotels and bowling alleys.

As the movie goes on, we meet the psychotic editor in chief, Lotterman (Richard Jenkins), greasy scumbags like Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart) and an uneasy society that demands justice.

In this world, tourists are convinced

that the hotels are the real Puerto Rican scene. But Kemp, as he immerses himself into a number of crowds, finds that the world is not so simple outside of the hotel room. And despite Kemp’s pleading, Lotterman refuses to print any stories about “the losers.” In a newspaper full of alcoholic freaks, Lotterman is not a popular editor in chief.

As for the acting, one couldn’t ask for more. Despite his dive into Tim Burton’s cartoon fantasies, Johnny Depp plays the perfect Kemp: He’s eccentric, charming, heroic and dangerous. Oh yeah, and he’s drunk or hung over the entire time. Kemp is, at a basic level, a young Thompson.

And Depp’s portrayal of this young Thompson — his voice, his style, his drunken swagger — is pleasingly flawless.

By far, this is one of the best films of the year. With exciting and drunken action, plenty of dark humor and the overarching disillusionment from the American Dream, “The Rum Diary” inspires its audiences, and reminds us that we’re living in the wake of a terrible, corrupt time.

DayGlow 2011

Johnny mckay / Daily Wildcat

Feel sorry for anyone who missed DayGlow.

The paint party, held at the Tucson Convention Center, was a wild time. With crazy lighting, bigger screens flashing all manner of visuals and much better music, Dayglow easily became one of the most exciting events thrown for college students all year.

Porter Robinson, the 19-year-old DJ, conducted the chaos from the stage, laying down awesome beats.

The amount of paint used improved too when compared to last year, and the addition of the color blue was a

simple yet good idea.

The crowd looked bigger than last year’s too, but since the event was in a much larger room, it looked a bit empty. More space for everyone is never a bad thing though. The only potential problem was that the gender ratio was a little off, making the event BYODP, bring your own dance partner. But if that isn’t the eternal college problem, there isn’t one.

Swift delivers on stage and in person

In person and in show, Taylor Swift I have been to many metal shows, is most definitely three things — she’s a venue in which one expects to see exceptionally humble, absolutely the most wild fans and crowd energy, captivating and way taller than and for the first time in my memory, anyone would expect.

room at one point during the show.

Whether it was the giant catwalks she strutted on, the rotating white tree stage at the back of the arena floor, or her encore presentation of “Love Story” in which she flew around the arena on a balcony platform, Swift was right in front of you for a moment at the least.

Set alterations and costume changes ran through the entire show, as T-Swift commanded the utmost attention. Whether it was the fireworks for “Dear John” or the faux snow amping the crowd up right before her piano performance of “Back To December,” she played every bit the seasoned performer.

Most endearing was her hometown tribute to Jimmy Eat World, as lead singer Jim Adkins came onstage and

played “The Middle,” trading lines and licks with Swift as his blonde, rocking counterpart. Theatrics aside, Swift is definitely the real deal, switching between ukelele, piano, guitar and banjo throughout her set, belting her heart out as every fan in a floor seat sang right back at her.

All of that leads to this point: I’m a 20-year-old male, and yes, I went to a Taylor Swift show, and yes, I loved every second of it.

Whether she’s onstage or with her arms wrapped around you, you can’t help but to smile with reckless abandon. She seems to conjure that kind of magic more than any artist in the recent memory of the music community.

Oh, and bros, don’t worry — I asked her. She loves us right back.

SEATTLE — For the first 10 minutes of Saturday’s game at Washington, Arizona played its best football of the season.

It scored on its first to possessions to take a 10-0 lead and forced the Husky offense to consecutive threeand-outs, taking a black-clad homecoming crowd of 59,825 all but out of the game.

But then things fell apart for an Arizona team that found itself in a close contest late in the game for the first time of the season, and Washington improved to 6-2 (4-1

Soccer now at all-time low, hockey cruises, v-ball splits Two losses clinch worst record in 17 years for Arizona soccer The Arizona soccer team entered the weekend with one win. That’s the way the Wildcats will leave it too, after getting shut out by both Washington and Washington State. At 1-15-2, the two losses clinch the worst record for Arizona soccer in 17 years.

On Friday, the Wildcats lost to the Huskies 4-0, and followed that up with a 2-0 loss on Sunday afternoon versus the Cougars. The two shutouts mark the 12th and 13th times the team has been shut out this season.

The losses marked the beginning of a final, three-game homestand for the Wildcats that will be capped off with a game against ASU on Friday night, which will be the final game of the season for Arizona.

SANG CHO / THE DAILY

DAILY WILDCAT

DAILY WILDCAT

EATTLE – Arizona football. Oh, what a tease.

The Wildcats offered fans a glimpse of hope with a 48-12 pasting of UCLA 11 days ago.

Maybe, Arizona fans thought, this was the same team that some predicted would compete in the Pac-12 South Division. Maybe it could pull the unthinkable, winning five straight conference games to earn a shot at playing the Pac-12 North Division champion.

Maybe, led by the conference’s best quarterbackreceiver duo, Arizona could salvage the season behind the seemingly carefree attitude of interim head coach Tim Kish and without the weight of playing for its head coach’s job on its shoulders.

That hope didn’t last long.

Take away Arizona’s blazing start on Saturday against Washington — a stretch that saw the Wildcats take a 10-0 lead while outgaining Washington 132 yards to 10 — and you saw the same mistakes that plagued Arizona through the season’s first six games.

Turnovers at inopportune times, long stretches of ineffectiveness, not being able to find a rhythm, leaving the red zone with field goals instead of touchdowns, the inability to burn clock, dropped passes and confusion on substitutions — and that’s just on offense.

The defense gave up huge chunks of yardage thanks to blown coverages, couldn’t stop the run, missed tackles and couldn’t get stops on third down or in the red zone.

Special teams — save for John Bonano, who added two more field goals to remain perfect on the season — was also a downfall for Arizona. Punter Kyle Dugandzic had his worst game of the season while the kickoff team gave up long return after long return.

It’s not easy to get stops when the other team is starting around the 50-yard line half of the time.

Punt returner Keola Antolin dropped a punt when things were getting desperate for Arizona, killing any hope it had of pulling off a miracle. Running back Ka’Deem Carey had a long kick return called back because of a block in the back.

UA special teamer Jared Tevis was called for a late hit on another kickoff, giving Washington more excellent field position.

“At the end of the day, I felt like we beat ourselves,” quarterback Nick Foles said. “It was an emotionally draining game on me.”

Foles contributed to the slop-fest with three interceptions, two of which came in the fourth quarter.

Wide receiver Juron Criner also dropped a pass that would have given Arizona a first down and fumbled

“We didn’t play very well today,” head coach Dave Rubio said after the match on Sunday. “Our setting was a little inconsistent, our passing was more inconsistent and as a result we didn’t really have much of an offense today. We weren’t as efficient as we would have liked to be.”

It’s standard protocol for head coaches to disregard preseason polls and rankings. Former UA football coach Mike Stoops did exactly that at Pac-12 football Media Day as he joked about the Wildcats being picked fourth in the Pac-12 South.

“I don’t know, must think I’m a bad coach,” he said with a laugh.

But not Sean Miller.

The Wildcats were chosen to finish third in the Pac-12 in the preseason media poll, and Miller couldn’t disagree more. At Pac-12 Media Day in Los Angeles, Miller made it clear that finishing third in the Pac-12 this season is more than wishful thinking.

“There’s no way in the world we’re the third best team in the Pac-12,” Miller told the media. “You can say every coach says something like that. I didn’t say that last year.

Hopefully I won’t say it next year, but I’m saying it now. There is no chance at all that’s where we are.”

Miller admitted that, down the road, Arizona could finish near the top of the conference. But as of now, the Wildcats are young and inexperienced at key positions, and

they’re missing one of their best players in Kevin Parrom.

Those factors showed up in the Wildcats’ 69-68 loss to Seattle Pacific last Thursday, leading Miller and his staff to believe Arizona is weeks away from competing in the Pac-12.

“Now we will develop or get Kevin back, guys like Kyle (Fogg) will lead us, and we have tremendous improvement through the next two months, that’s our goal and that’s what we hope to accomplish,” Miller said to the media in Los Angeles. “But last night you really got a true sense of where our team is. The youthfulness.”

SICK HAPPENS answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships Stop by the Campus Health tent on the UA Mall at Homecoming for some FREE popcorn, water and Eegees!

Q

How are the birds and the bees associated with sex?

A. Ah, the “birds and the bees.” This phrase is often used by parents if and when they decide to talk to their children about sex and reproduction. Discrete language surrounding “sex” is more acceptable in many families and cultures.

Relating sex to nature shows that sex is a natural thing to do – even the “birds and the bees” do it. But why were these specific creatures chosen? Here’s one idea: birds and bees are familiar to people all over the world. Birds lay eggs, an example of female ovulation, and bees pollinate flowers, an example of fertilization. Another reason why birds were chosen is that they’re monogamous (for at least a season) and have mating rituals.

Where did the euphemism “birds and the bees” originate? Some say it began in literature in 1825. A poet named Samuel Coleridge wrote Work Without Hope with the lines, “all nature seems at work...the bees are stirring – birds are on the wing...and I the while, the sole unbusy thing, not honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.”

In 1928, Cole Porter, a jazz musician, wrote

the song “Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall in Love,” with the chorus, “And that’s why birds do it, bees do it. Even educated fleas do it. Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.”

In 1929, The Charleston Gazette, a West Virginia newspaper, published an article which directly related the birds and the bees to sex. “...It [sex] was whispered about, but never mentioned in public. Curious and unafraid, we looked into sex and found it perfectly natural, in the flowers and the trees, the birds and the bees.”

“The Birds and the Bees,” a popular 1960s song, opens with “Let me tell you ‘bout the birds and the bees. And the flowers and the trees. The moon up above. And a thing called love.”

We may never know the origin of the phrase, but we do know it will continue to be one of the most widely used metaphors for sex in songs, literature, and everyday language.

trailing by 11 with just over two minutes left, when Foles threw a pass intended for Criner that was intercepted at the Washington 18-yard line.

“I didn’t play particularly well, especially at the end,” Foles said. “I made a couple of throws that I’m just not happy about. I’m better than that. I just didn’t play well.”

December, according to Miller.

“His status, I really believe he’ll return to the court this year,” Miller said. “We’re pointing towards late November, early December if he continues to experience the same progress that he has.”

Miller explained that after he was shot, Parrom lost all feeling and movement in his leg. But just over five weeks have passed and Parrom is now running and participating in non-contact drills for the first time.

Parrom’s rehab is more than just physical, however. His mother, Lisa Williams, recently died after a two-year battle with breast cancer.

Parrom also lost his grandmother over the summer.

But Miller said Parrom has a renewed outlook and is moving in a positive direction.

“When he came back from New York here early this week, he had a different look in his eye,” Miller said. “Almost as if all the bad things are over. And I believe returning to the court is a real significant carrot for him.

Hopefully over these next three or four weeks he can work towards getting back. If he’s able to rejoin our team in early December, it will be a huge bonus for us as we move forward.”

postseason for the fourth consecutive year.

That includes winning at ASU, and with the way both teams are playing, that might be too crazy even for this rivalry.

The reality of things is that this season is all but over. Once Arizona loses one of its next four games, there’s nothing left to play for and very little to gain.

With next season is going to

come more change, this time in the form of new assistants and new schemes.

“We’re playing the game that we love,” Carey said.

Well, that makes one thing that Arizona has going for it.

off the clock.

“That would have been a critical time for us to move the football and at least get a first down or two,” Kish said. “I think our defense was getting a little gassed there at that point. It’s unfortunate we couldn’t keep the ball for a little longer.”

Milking the clock wasn’t the only area that Arizona’s offense struggled in.

The Wildcats couldn’t score touchdowns in the red zone, settling for a field goal on two of its three trips including a possession in the fourth quarter that saw the Wildcats get inside the Washington 5-yard line.

“When you’re on the road playing against a very quality opponent, it

hurts when you don’t score touchdowns on those situations,” interim head coach Tim Kish said. “We just couldn’t punch it in.”

On the flip side, the Husky offense had no problem scoring touchdowns in the red zone — it scored a touchdown on each of its six trips inside the Arizona 20-yard line.

Washington running back Chris Polk became the first player in school history to gain 100 yards both through the air and on the ground and also set a school record by rushing for over 100 yards for the 18th time in his career.

“He’s a good back,” linebacker Paul Vassallo said. “But we had nine, 10 days — whatever it was — to prepare for him. So that was enough time.”

Bondurant

Bondurant figured his chance would come soon.

“I kind of knew it was coming once I started seeing things breaking down out there,” Bondurant said. “I just made sure that I stayed focused and kept my attitude right just so when my time came, I could be in there to produce for the team.”

Bondurant’s first start came against UCLA, playing the rover position that’s required by the double-eagle defensive front the Wildcats implemented against the Bruins. He made an impact immediately, picking up the tackle on the game’s first three plays and finishing with a team-high eight tackles.

His success continued in Arizona’s 42-31 loss at Washington on Saturday, making eight tackles and picking up a sack while being used as both the rover and as Arizona’s nickel back.

While it may seem overwhelming for a freshman to play two different positions, especially on the road, Bondurant said he’s just glad that Arizona’s coaches have showed that kind of confidence in him.

“I was just out there doing whatever I could and just playing my hardest for the team,” Bondurant said. “It’s just preparation during the week. When it’s your time, you’ve got to step up.”

The Fairfield, Calif., native said several times that his number one goal is to play as hard as he can while having fun. As long as he does that, he said, the results will follow.

“This is what we all get recruited for,” Bondurant said. “I just go out there and play as hard as I can. I know I can go out there and perform if I just have fun.”

Bondurant’s playmaking hasn’t come without the typical mistakes that freshmen make, like missing assignments and being too aggressive at times. But his energy and playmaking ability more than makes up for the few mistakes he makes — at least while he’s still relatively inexperienced.

“It was a learning experience,” interim head coach Tim Kish said.

Bondurant’s early success is due in large part to his natural instincts as a defender, something that’s made a good impression on his teammates.

“That kid’s a great football player and he’s got a bright future ahead of him,” linebacker Paul Vassallo said.

“He does it every day in practice with his energy and enthusiasm he brings. It livens up the defense and it all makes us play better.”

Johnson solid before suffering second concussion of season Arizona entered Saturday’s game against Washington shorthanded in the secondary, and left the Evergreen State even worse off.

Safety Robert Golden missed a large chunk of the second half while suffering from severe dehydration after a 91-yard pick-six, and freshman cornerback Cortez Johnson — starting for suspended corner Shaquille Richardson — was concussed for the second time this season early in the fourth quarter, an injury that will likely end his season.

Johnson, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound freshman from New Orleans, made seven tackles and stayed with his receiver step-for-step for much of the night while seeing his first extensive action against Washington.

“I thought he did an admirable job,” Kish said. “I know he had some moments in there he’d like to take back, but who wouldn’t? That’s a tough situation to be in.”

Johnson’s size and length are somewhat abnormal for a cornerback, and are a big reason why many considered him the incoming freshman with the best chance to make an immediate impact.

“Cortez has a bright future ahead with his length and his speed and size,” Vassallo said. “He’s going to be a very good corner. It’s going to be a hard matchup for opposing receivers because the kid’s so long, and he’ll definitely learn to use that to his advantage.”
