Clean laundry? Think again H1N1 By Michelle Cohen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT What’s cleaner: a public toilet seat, door handle or your empty washing machine? The answer may surprise you. UA microbiologist Dr. Chuck Gerba, who was recently interviewed on CBS’s “The Early Show” about his study of washing machine germs, said the answer is probably not your washing machine.

“People think we’re too clean, but we’re not,” said Gerba. “Clothes are a good example. Clothes have more germs than ever.” Gerba wanted to find out if certain viruses and bacteria could survive in a load of laundry after being washed in detergent with and without bleach. So he added several different types of bacteria, such as salmonella, and viruses, such as hepatitis A, to loads of laundry in a study published in the

July 2007 edition of Applied and Environmental Microbiology. “(We found) viruses can live up to a month after being washed (in nonbleach detergent) and bacteria can live up to a few days,” he said. Gerba said these germs could cause several kinds of illnesses, such as diarrhea, meningitis or a cold. “Hepatitis A can cause infections, and if you are infected with that, it can kill you,” he said.

The amount of germs in household washing machines and public facility machines are “probably about the same, but it depends on how frequently someone is using hot water and bleach,” Gerba said. The study also found that certain germs, such as the flu, couldn’t survive easily in washing machines. “Certain ones, like influenza, are LAUNDRY, page 5

clinic for high-risk patients By Jennifer Koehmstedt ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

MEETING OF SOULS

Campus Health Services will host an H1N1 flu vaccination clinic today at Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall targeting those who are at the greatest risk for complications from the flu. According to the Campus Health Web site, any student who lives in the residence hall is able to get the vaccination. However, due to limited supplies, the clinic will prioritize those who are in the 18-and-younger risk group. Students who live off-campus are also able to get vaccinated at ArizonaSonora if they fit into a high-risk category, said Terri West, a spokesperson for Campus Health. Students considered a risk priority are those who are 19-24 years old with a high-risk medical condition such as diabetes, a physical disability or pregnancy, along with those who live with or care for children younger than six months of age, West said. Campus Health, like medical facilities all over the nation, is experiencing a vaccine shortage, she said. “We’re hoping to get more vaccines. We placed an order for something like 5,000, but we haven’t got nearly that much coming,” West said. “We had a little bit last week, so that’s what we’re trying to use now.” West said Campus Health will try and have a clinic open to all of campus. She recommends that students go onto the Campus Health Web site to check for updates on when future vaccine clinics will be held. “They’re going to do (a clinic) on the Mall, but that will be posted,” she said.

Phi Psi found not UA ranks 70 in sex report responsible for theft By Michelle Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Greek Standards Board has found the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity not responsible for the theft of 10,000 Daily Wildcat newspapers on Oct. 8, according to the board’s official final report released Friday afternoon. In its final report, the Greek Standards Board outlined several reasons for its decision. Information that worked against the Daily Wildcat during judicial deliberations included incidents surrounding the Spanish homework found among a pile of thousands of the stolen newspapers on West Anklam Road on Oct. 9.

Given that Daily Wildcat employees found the stolen newspapers, the board decided the evidence did not show the fraternity was responsible for the theft. Instead of in an official court of law where the defendant must be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, Daily Wildcat representatives were only charged with the task of showing that the fraternity was, more likely than not, responsible for the theft, according to official Greek Standards Board procedures. The final report also cites Phi Kappa Psi’s police report issued to the THEFT, page 3

The UA ranked 70 out of 141 schools surveyed in Trojan Brand Condoms’ Sexual Health Report Card. For the past four years, Sperling’s BestPlaces, an independent research company, has drawn from schools within the BCS system and analyzed the sexual heath resources and information available to students, said Allison Goldstein, a representative for Trojan Brand Condoms. “They chose to use our company because we’re experts in qualitative analysis, looking at things like opinions and attitudes,” said Bert Sperling, president of the company. The schools from the BCS system were surveyed in order to include large universities as well as smaller

institutions such as the Ivy Leagues, Sperling said. Around half a million students were surveyed, approximately 30 percent of all undergraduate students in America. Information on Arizona was gathered in three parts. The first part was a two-page questionnaire mailed to students, followed by a phone call. Next, a team of employees reviewed the Campus Health Services Web site for usability and services provided, Sperling said. The final step of the survey was an independent Facebook campaign that invited students to participate in a fivequestion online poll regarding their attitudes about the health center. The UA sits a mere one spot above the median in the rankings, but far

out-performs ASU, ranked at 113. “We did find that the Web site usability was high, easy to use, so that was quite powerful in our calculations,” Sperling said. Other areas in which the UA scored well were hours of operation for Campus Health Services, the availability and prices of contraceptives for students, HIV and STD testing, and the effectiveness of sexual assault reporting and counseling programs. “Arizona scored above average in these areas but not top marks in any of them,” Sperling said. The main areas in which the UA can improve are peer groups and lecture outreach programs, including an advice column in the student newspaper and the opportunity for “drop-ins” as

How old are you? Almost 19. So what makes you feel old? Um, to see the things that kids are watching and to know that I have no idea what it is and to remember the stuff that I did when I was growing up and how it’s not even the cool thing anymore. So to help you remember what was cool from back in the day, do you think it’s time for a ‘90s cover band or something like that? Definitely. I love‘90s music and I listen to it whenever I need to calm down or relax, that kind of thing.

Oklahoma couple’s car collides with escaped circus elephant ENID, Okla. — An Oklahoma couple driving home from church hit an animal — a really big one. An elephant that escaped from a nearby circus collided with the couple’s SUV Wednesday night when it ran across a rural highway in Enid, about 100 miles north of Oklahoma City.

Police say the 29-year-old elephant had escaped earlier that night from the Family Fun Circus at the Garfield County Fairgrounds. The couple weren’t injured in the crash, but police say the elephant had a broken tusk and an injured leg. Authorities say the elephant’s tusk

MARION, Ala. — The sign going on the front door at the Perry County courthouse reads: “Closed for the Obama Holiday.” The rural, mostly black county has proclaimed Monday an official holiday celebrating the election of the nation’s first black president, Barack Obama. Barack Obama It’s one of Alabama’s poorest counties, but it’s sparing little during five days of festivities. County employees, as well as city workers in Marion and Uniontown, will get a paid holiday Monday as government offices close, culminating a series of events including an old-fashioned civil rights rally and march, a golf tournament, a weekend carnival and a parade Monday through Marion. “I feel great about the holiday,” said county maintenance worker Leon Brown.“It’s history. It’s the first time ever we’ve had a black president. I hope it’s not the last time ever.” Located in the heart of the economically depressed Black Belt region named for its rich soil, Perry County is sparsely populated, with a little more than 11,000 residents, and an unemployment rate of more than 18 percent, one of the highest in the state. County Commissioner Brett Harrison, who cast the lone “no” vote when the commission voted 4-1 to set up the holiday, questions adding a paid day off in such a poor county. He said the county already had 14 paid holidays and it didn’t seem like the right time for such an ambitious event in the middle of a recession. “The timing didn’t make any sense,” Harrison said, pointing out that many private businesses will be open Monday, including his full-service gas station. The Obama holiday was proposed by Commissioner Albert Turner Jr., whose father was one of the marchers beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in the 1965 “Bloody Sunday” voting rights march in Selma. Many of the marchers were voting rights activists from Marion upset about the shooting death of Jimmie Lee Jackson during an earlier demonstration in the town. Turner, taking a break Friday while participating in the Obama Holiday Golf Tournament, said it’s only right to celebrate the election of the first black president. “We hold holidays for Columbus and for Lincoln. There’s been no event more historic in my lifetime than the election of Barack Obama,”Turner said. He said another reason for the holiday was to let the nation know the role Perry County played in protests that led to passage of the Voting Rights Act. Some of the events recall the demonstrations. “It’s not that we’re celebrating Obama. We’re celebrating America living up to it’s creed that all men are created equal,”Turner said. — The Associated Press

Paper theft not new to UA

The Arizona Daily Wildcat

W

e’re probably all familiar with the theft of at least 10,000 copies of the Arizona Daily Wildcat from newsstands on Oct. 8, a crime costing Arizona Student Media $8,500 in printing costs, advertising and salaries. But, as so often happens, a look through the Daily Wildcat back issues shows that everything new is actually old – history repeats itself. Twentytwo years ago, at least 12,500 copies of the Arizona Daily Wildcat were stolen off the loading docks of the newspaper’s printer. Mirroring the events of the present, a fraternity, Kappa Sigma, stood accused of the crime. Kappa Sigma’s president, however, admitted his fraternity’s involvement in the crime. What follows is the original article, “Frat members admit to theft of Wildcats,” written by Paul G. Allvin, and printed in the April 8, 1987, issue of the Daily Wildcat.

Robert T. Zavala displays the 12,000 stolen Arizona Daily Wildcat newspapers taken April 7, 1987, that were admittedly stolen by members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. The Arizona Daily Wildcat pressed charges and the Tucson Police Department began its investigation, including arrests, the next day while the UA Dean of Students also took disciplinary action.

a Shopper employee that the driver who delivers the papers had taken the day off, and that they were taking his place. Shortly before 8 a.m., the Shopper realized the paper had been stolen when the actual driver contacted them. A shopper employee gave the Tucson Police Department the first three characters of the out-of-state license plate on one of the cars involved in the theft, Lowery said. Police said they traced the car to an 18-year-old business and public administration freshman, a resident of the Kappa Sigma house, 430 N. Cherry St. When police arrived at the house, fraternity members told them the student was not home. TPD officer Francis Jordan said the investigation is continuing and he expects arrests today. Lowery said he and officials from the Shopper will meet with the freshman and Zavala today. “It cost us a lot of money and a lot of aggravation, so I don’t think we’re going to be able to talk things out,”

Lowery said. Zavala said that the members stole the Wildcats because the chapter had run a classified personal advertisement a week too early, and they thought stealing the papers would be a better alternative to retracting the ad. “A few guys thought it would be funny if they grabbed some of the papers, and that was their logic,” Zavala said. “I found out this morning when someone dumped a bag of papers in my room.” UA Dean of Students Rosalind E. Andreas said fraternity members and their house could face suspension from the university. Christine A. Donnelly, the Wildcat editor-in-chief, said, “I find it really infuriating that the students took the law so lightly … they never took into account the repercussions of their actions … I have no sympathy for that kind of stupidity.” “A lot of people called wondering where the Wildcat was, and I’m sorry that our readers and advertisers were inconvenienced,” Donnelly added.

University of Arizona Police Department on Oct. 9, where the fraternity claims that “Phi Kappa Psi members saw individuals going through their trash can.” Although the fraternity said the incident occurred on the night of Oct. 8 or the morning of Oct. 9, police records show that Phi Kappa Psi members did not call the police until 3:46 p.m., well after the Daily Wildcat reported finding the homework of Phi Kappa Psi members Alex Cornell and Nick Kovaleski at the scene of the stolen newspapers. The Greek Standards Board hearing testimony of advertising manager Mike Spohn was also questioned in the board’s final report. Spohn testified that he saw three individuals loading Daily Wildcat newspapers into a tan Toyota Camry on Oct. 8 around 8 a.m. The board’s final report noted that the vehicle associated with the theft was never officially linked to Phi Kappa Psi and that the three men were not identified as belonging to the fraternity.

••• About 12,500 copies of yesterday’s Arizona Daily Wildcat were stolen from the paper’s printer, and the president of the Kappa Sigma fraternity admitted that 11 members of his organization took the newspapers. “The individuals involved with the incident did so on their own accord and in no way was it sanctioned by the chapter nor should it be construed as a house activity,” said Robert T. Zavala, a University of Arizona astronomy junior and president of the 38-member fraternity. Officials from the Wildcat and its printer, the Tucson Shopper, said they will press felony charges. Production costs and advertising refunds alone will cost the Wildcat $6,040, said Clyde D. Lowery, executive director of University of Arizona Student Publications and adviser to the Wildcat. About 18,500 copies of the Wildcat had been printed, he said, adding that the Shopper printed 6,000 more after the theft was discovered. At least three cars arrived at the loading docks of the Shopper between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. to pick up the copies of the Wildcat, Lowery said. A person in a black Volkswagen Rabbit told

the Daily Wildcat,” a finding proven false by witnesses who saw other individuals in a black car stealing newspapers on the morning of Oct. 8, information Daily Wildcat representatives expressed to the Greek Standards Board at the hearing Wednesday. The board also stated as a reason for its ruling that “the Daily Wildcat stated that Phi Kappa Psi fraternity never denied involvement in the issue” while presenting in the final report that the fraternity did deny involvement in an interview with Fraternity and Sorority Programs on Oct. 8 and also denied involvement in a letter sent to the Greek Standards Board prior to the hearing. Daily Wildcat representatives never claimed Phi Kappa Psi leadership refused to deny involvement altogether, but rather that they had never denied involvement to the Daily Wildcat, according to written transcripts of the hearing that featured both Phi Kappa Psi and Daily Wildcat leadership. The board found the two e-mails entered into evidence as showing Phi Kappa Psi responsible for the theft as unreliable,

finding that in one case, the sender’s “account could not be considered without the ability to question her in person,” the final report said. The other e-mail sender, mathematics freshman Brennan Vincent, submitted a letter to the Greek Standards Board stating that his intentions regarding his e-mail message had been misconstrued, according to the report. “He wrote in his letter that he had implicated Phi Kappa Psi in his letter only because he didn’t believe the Daily Wildcat would print a letter where he solely stated that the reporting of the Daily Wildcat was irresponsible,” the report said. With the case being closed by UAPD and the Greek Standards Board, the on-campus judicial aspects of the case have been exhausted. The Dean of Students Office has begun investigating Cornell and Kovaleski individually, but has no authority to discipline Phi Kappa Psi as a whole. The Dean of Students Office contacted the Daily Wildcat on Nov. 6 to ask managing editor Shain Bergan to testify in the case against Cornell and Kovaleski.

C’mon, grow a pair and confess already

I

’ve seen some spineless, idiotic moves in my time, but Phi Kappa Psi takes the cake. Sick of hearing about this Managing Editor story? Well, I’m sick of these cowards and thieves, period. Not only does this fraternity’s execution of the theft of 10,000 Arizona Daily Wildcat newspapers sound like something out of the Big Lebowski (“Is this your homework, Larry?”), but its actions afterward are damning to the point of ridicule. Let’s run through the stupidity, shall we? First, Nick Kovaleski and Alex Cornell leave their homework at the dump site. Where’s the Spanish teacher in all of this? Then the Phi Kappa Psi leadership — that’s you, Keith Peters and Daniel Levy — come to the Daily Wildcat offices wanting our evidence, and then slink out like the snakes you are when we ask you to go on the record. Minutes after you leave the offices, you place a call to the University of Arizona Police Department claiming someone who looked like they might work for the Daily Wildcat was found dumpster diving at your house the previous night. The guy you claim was dumpster diving is our 60-year-old production manager, Fred Smith. No one’s buying this crap. A fraternity worth a damn would have raised holy hell after the Police Beat item went out, shouting its innocence from the hilltops. But you didn’t shout your innocence, did you, Phi Kappa Psi? Instead, you snuck into your cars in the wee hours of the morning and decided to hide the information at the source — by stealing thousands of the very newspaper that printed an item where a woman claimed she might have been drugged at your party. If anything, Phi Kappa Psi made things worse for itself. What would have been a forgettable Police Beat item has turned into a firestorm picked up by local and national news outlets. Well, Phi Kappa Psi, you all got off scot-free. All the legal and judicial avenues have been exhausted. Only one thing left for you to do — grow some balls and confess already. Let’s call a spade a spade.You stole our newspapers. I don’t even want the $8,500 back. I just want your names and faces forever associated with censorship and idiocy. I mean, what’s the worst that can happen out of you confessing? UAPD obviously wouldn’t pick the case back up — we’ve seen how much of a joke police force they are.You’ve already skated by your friends on the farcical Greek Standards Board.You’re not going to be held legally responsible by anyone, but you would be showing for once that you have some testicles. Kovaleski and Cornell, it’s a different story for you guys. The Dean of Students is looking into you two as individuals. Not to mention, your president Keith Peters tried to throw you under the bus during the Greek Board hearing on Wednesday by making the case that a few individuals — you two — could have gone rogue and stolen the papers by yourselves. Ask your president to pull the knives out of your backs when you turn around. Speaking of throwing people under the bus, Peters owes an apology to the student government and former UA soccer head coach Dan Tobias. During the Greek Standards Board hearing, the Phi Psi president suggested the possibility that Tobias stole the newspapers because of an article that criticized the soccer coach. (Note: No such article appeared in the Oct. 8 issue of the Daily Wildcat.) Peters also suggested that the Associated Students of the University of Arizona stole the newspapers because of the appearance of an article chronicling how ASUA was teaming up with UApresents for the upcoming Fray concert. But the most hilarious of Peters’ explanations was that perhaps the Oct. 8 issue was just that popular. Maybe, just maybe — the Phi Kappa Psi president argued — students eager for their campus news had just picked the newspapers up the legal way by 9 a.m. Peters, though, failed to explain how thousands of those popular papers could have then magically appeared miles away out on West Anklam Road along with Kovaleski and Cornell’s homework. You can’t make this stuff up. If Phi Kappa Psi wants to sue the Daily Wildcat for libel, I’d like to see them try. I doubt many know the true definition, but I’m sure the fraternity would have fun trying to prove it didn’t, in fact, steal the newspapers. Phi Kappa Psi, your cowardice has gone on long enough. It’s time to just bite the bullet, do the halfway honorable thing and confess. So there it is, Peters. See what it’s like to not be a coward? I have the balls to call you out. We’ll see if you have the balls to confess. Let’s just find a nice place to meet and talk about this. Who knows? I might even take you up on your offer to go out to Gentle Ben’s. — Shain Bergan is the managing editor of the Daily Wildcat. He can be reached at maned@wildcat.arizona.edu

Is it time to complete the ‘A’?

I don’t want to look too far ahead, but with only four games left to go, the ’Cats do have a good opportunity to make it to their first Rose Bowl. Granted, they have one of the most difficult schedules across the country, but I for one believe in Mike Stoops and his boys. I have been bleeding red and blue for 40 years (remember the“Desert Swarm”) and hope that this is just the beginning of a period of domination in the Pac-10. With all of that said, I do have one question. If — and when — Arizona goes to the Rose Bowl, should the blue in the “A” finally be completed? I would be interested in hearing what the student body and readers of the Arizona Daily Wildcat have to say. Rich Wheeler Damascus, Ore.

New Wildcat site confusing, ‘unprofessional’

I don’t know who made the latest Web changes, but I don’t like them. It looks like someone who just learned about Web programming is doing it, very unprofessional. The search option hides some of the article text, as does the Alexa Rose jeweler advertisement. The layout has way too much unused white space and looks a mess. I had to make white space because the search field is even hiding the input field I’m typing in. Gary Russo UA parent

More to Richmond rape story than columnist suggests

I truly, deeply hope that the Daily Wildcat gets justice for the theft and vandalism that occurred. I think the editorial was extremely well-versed; polite but firm, full of plain fact and common sense. Please, do not give up; those responsible will get what they deserve. I feel terrible about the lack of UAPD help that has been given, and I am wishing that someone in the administration is able to give this a good push. The Daily Wildcat published a piece about a high school girl who was raped on school grounds of Richmond, Calif. (“The not-so-innocent bystanders,” Nov. 4, 2009). Now, there are so many issues I had with this piece, and my emotions ran wild while I read it. It’s a good thing that I didn’t immediately comment, because it would not have been thought-out or classy, rather I would have probably attacked the author rather than the information. First, has Rachel Leavitt ever been to Richmond? I grew up in the Bay Area, and let me tell you something: It has a reputation around the world for its brutal violence and desperate poverty for a reason. There is

a derivable explanation for this: a simple lack of proper education. But when there are people there that will kill you for simply driving down their street, it’s hard to change things. You think Tucson has ghettos? Unless Leavitt has driven down a few blocks in the greater Oakland area, she has absolutely no clue about whom or what she is truly reporting on. It is a different life there; a different mindset. In principality, I agree with her. In order for us to evolve socially, people need to stop sitting on the sideline and stand up for their beliefs. But when you stand among high school students that have used guns before without understanding true consequence (death or incarceration), its’ a whole different universe. My second thought is about her source; it really seems as though she saw this reported on CNN.com, read a few paragraphs, became outraged and wrote her own perspective on it. Did she contact anyone involved? Did she even try to get a police report? The fact of the matter is that that reporting on events like this, many times, far from what actually happened. Have you ever heard of a woman claiming rape, only to find out she was simply embarrassed to have made the decision to go out with that fellow for the night and was trying to save face? Please, do not for one instant think I am taking anything away from true rape victims (I personally find it to be one of the most violating acts possible besides murder). I am simply saying that, as we have all experienced, teenagers will put themselves in a position in which they suddenly realize, this is not good. What better way for this girl to get back at the boys than to simply cry the new-age“Wolf!”If she truly was raped, then I wish her all the justice in the world. However, honestly, my gut says there is more to the story than what was reported. Leavitt not only failed to report a detailed description of the event (I don’t consider“There was a dance, she got drunk and was raped in the quad” sufficient detail), but she was even so bold to claim something like, “Where were the security guards?!”This statement actually made me laugh. It was plain she has no clue what type of world she stepped into. There is no money to pay teachers in Richmond, and you think they’re going to have some extra capital to spend on security there? Please, tell her to take a second, Google Richmond schools, and maybe, just maybe, she might change her view on this entire thing. To conclude, I’m a graduating fifth-year senior. I’ve loved the Wildcat since freshman year, and I will continue to follow it online after I leave. Keep on doing great work, keep on pushing your program forward and keep on being true to the spirit of true reporting and journalism. Colby Mikulich retailing and consumer sciences senior

Why the UA is better than Harvard Anna Swenson columnist

T

he UA is probably nearly 100 places behind Harvard on US News and World Report’s list of colleges. The word “Harvard” may be synonymous with geniuses and old money, while “University of Arizona” is more commonly associated with cacti and sports teams. But on a recent visit to see a friend who attends the hallowed halls of Harvard, I became convinced that the Old Main in the Old Pueblo has Cambridge’s crown jewel beat in more than a few ways. On a purely superficial level, the UA gives students way, way more for way less. Harvard’s dining halls are like Cactus Grill, but open fewer hours. The dorms are like Maricopa, but with fewer outlets. Sure, there are all the rainbows of cascading leaves and the ivy-covered brick buildings, but that’s sort of a college cliché. We are the real innovators here: We have the Douglass building and we have a cactus garden. How’s

that for diverse? Harvard is experiencing budget cuts just like the UA is ­— it had to shut down an entire library because it lost a third of its endowment (“Leaner Times at Harvard: No Cookies,” The New York Times, Oct. 8, 2009). Somehow, the reduced hours at the Student Recreation Center are easier to swallow after hearing that. At least we have less money mostly because something completely outside of the university’s control changed: Arizona residents paid less in taxes, or the state or federal funding structure changed. We don’t have that many graduates who are supposedly the most brilliant, richest people in the world, who should be donating, and then still run out of money. The cost of UA tuition is not quite the $200,000 Harvard students can expect to pay for an undergraduate degree. The UA has its financial troubles, but at least it is not quite as ludicrous as Harvard running out of money. Maybe it’s just the culture of the place, but UA students have a healthier view of money, too. A poster in a dorm I visited at Harvard had a picture of a beach house with five Porsches in the garage and read

“Justification for Higher Education.” We want to be successful, but that’s not the sense of justification I get from UA students. It requires a greater degree of passion to pursue an education honestly, without a big name attached to it. Being a student at a school that is good, but not the best of the best, is liberating. We can try big things, take chances and be adventurous, because it’s kind of OK if we fail. We can even laugh at ourselves. Harvard has earned its elevated reputation and the chip on its shoulder, and everyone respects that. But then it cast that chip in marble, engraved it with a quote from an obscure philosopher in a dead language and named it after an alumni donor. We Wildcats know who we are. We’re proud of our achievements, but we don’t think anyone else has to be. Harvard students are admirably self-deprecating, but they really do believe they go to the best school in the universe. At least UA students know we don’t really matter to anyone else. At the UA, you can chat with someone in the Starbucks line and be pretty sure he or she is not going

to steal your dream job and make you feel like a washed-up loser at the age of 19. At Harvard, you might be talking to the person who will cure cancer or invent the next Facebook. You could be talking to that person here, too, but we’re less obnoxious about it. Everyone who gets into a school like Harvard is so exhaustingly interesting, it’s hard to really get to know someone. You are supposed to be a number, a goal, a foreign country you come from and/or an uncommon language you speak. At the UA, we’re just people. We don’t turn down our noses at people who don’t go to class or actually sleep at night; we give them a hug and a beer. Wildcats have a sense of humor that I didn’t really appreciate until I spent some time in another place that is in such contrast. For example, no grown men here wear pants with tiny ducks embroidered on them unless it’s a joke. And people here do wear clothes as a joke quite often — a concept which has yet to infiltrate Harvard Yard. Maybe they’re just already moved on to the next theorem in ironic fashions. There are, of course, many things

that Harvard has that we just can’t compete with. It has the exalted name, for one. But its mascot is a color, and its sports teams are not exactly Las Vegas bowl material. We don’t have presidents of countries visit us very often. But it’s not like that means anything: heck, President Obama even visited that one place in Tempe. Harvard’s newspaper is, admittedly, far higher-brow than this one — but I, for one, think it is a very good thing that UA students are not interested in reading articles about translations of Rainer Maria Rilke in the Wildlife section. I obviously can’t say that the UA is better than Harvard in very many ways, but there are a few. Everyone there was nice and friendly, but I never thought I’d be so glad to be back to this dusty town where basketball shorts are considered formal wear. While Harvard might be objectively “better” in some ways, after visiting there, I can say with more confidence that the UA is in every way a better place for me. — Anna Swenson is a sophomore majoring in English.

E. coli most common germ found in washing machines

Lisa Beth Earle/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Orrin Frederick, an anthropology freshman, cleans the lint trap before running the dryer at Cochise Residence Hall last Thursday. The lint trap had lint left over from a previous user.

not an issue,” he said. “The flu is killed easily with detergent.” However, Gerba said non-bleach detergents wouldn’t kill most germs because they “are only largely designed to remove dirt, not microorganisms.” His study found that the most common germ the average household washing machine contains is E. coli bacteria. “The average laundry load has about

100 million E. coli in the water when you do a load of undergarments,” he said.“The E. coli is from fecal matter.” He said the best way to prevent illness from washing machines is to first run a load of undergarments with bleach detergent and hot water to sanitize the machine before washing other clothing. He also said clothes should be put in the dryer for at least 45 minutes.

“Water should be at about 140 degrees (Fahrenheit) when hot and should reduce viruses by 99.99 percent if used with bleach,” he said.“The dryer will kill up to another 99 percent if it goes for 45 minutes.” Clothes are now dirtier than ever because only five percent of people wash their clothes with hot water today, due to the invention of cold-water detergent in the last 20 years. Before that, most people used hot water to wash their clothes, Gerba said. “That hot water is really critical in killing those bacteria,” he said. Gerba added that the reason toilet seats and bathroom door handles are cleaner than most washing machines is because most people wipe off toilet seats and between 70 and 80 percent of the public wash their hands. Gerba couldn’t say how many people get sick from washing machines because he said there is no way to track that information, but many UA students are concerned about getting sick from their laundry after hearing the news. “Wow, that’s really surprising,” said anthropology freshman Orrin Frederick, who lives in Cochise Residence Hall. “I actually did my laundry today. The more I think about it, it seems plausible. But you clean

Q What is tantric sex? A. Although Tantric traditions have sparked recent attention in the West, they are anything but new, having been developed in India more than 6,000 years ago. Despite its long history, the practice of Tantra still represents a philosophy that remains revolutionary, even today. Unlike contemporary views of sex, which largely center on pleasure and orgasm, followers of Tantra see sex as a transformative experience that has the potential to unify male and female elements into a singular whole, expanding intimacy and consciousness in the process. In the Hindu pantheon, this is often represented through the conjoining of the male god Shiva with the goddess Shakti. True to its name, the word “Tantra” is derived from the Sanskrit word to “weave.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, there are differing takes on what Tantra actually means, depending on who you ask. As the practice has become more widely known in the West as a form of “spiritual sex,” traditionalists claim this viewpoint separates one part of the belief system from many of its other dimensions, including the practice of yoga, meditation, rituals, rules of conduct and the guidance of a guru.

Given this background and the existence of competing perspectives, Tantric sex is most commonly seen as a way to prolong a shared and heightened sensuality through the sustained delay of orgasm. Followers of Tantra note that this act of “lasting longer” during sex is not an end in itself, but rather a means to more fully connect with your partner. Tantric techniques include a strong focus on breathing in unison with your partner, relaxing during high states of arousal to delay climax (especially for men), connecting through eye contact to enhance intimacy and exploring ways to induce orgasm without ejaculation. Through these methods as well as others, Tantra embodies a unique philosophy that emphasizes the importance of intimacy. Whatever your take on Tantra may be, it seems apparent that whatever we expect from sex – pleasure, procreation or something else – is often what we get in return. For more information on the Tantric way, check out “Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving” by Charles and Caroline Muir.

Speeder runs stop sign, winds up with DUI

University of Arizona Police Department officers were on patrol in the area of James E. Rogers Way and Park Avenue on Oct. 30 at 11:40 p.m. when they observed a Ford Mustang that appeared to be exceeding the speed limit. Officers watched as the Mustang then drove through an intersection and failed to stop for a stop sign. Police initiated a traffic stop and made contact with the driver, who identified himself with a Washington state driver’s license. The man told police he was going to Fourth Avenue and had been at Risky Business Restaurant and Bar near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. He also claimed to be new to Tucson and unfamiliar with the area. Inside of the vehicle, officers observed two open containers of Corona, each approximately one-third full. After a field sobriety test confirmed that the man was intoxicated, he was placed under arrest and transported to the UAPD station. A test was administered to determine the man’s blood alcohol content which was determined to be between .072 and .076. He was cited on charges of DUI-slightest degree, open container in a vehicle and failure to stop for a stop sign. He was released into the custody of a friend.

Man hiding friend’s pipe earns paraphernalia citation

UAPD officers were dispatched to Coronado Residence Hall on Oct. 31 at 12:35 a.m. in reference to the odor of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. On arrival, officers met with a resident assistant who led them to a room on the sixth floor. Officers knocked on the door of the room, but were unable to make contact with any residents. Officers heard glass bottles knocking together in an adjacent room and then observed the door to that room open. A male resident of the room came out and identified himself with an Illinois driver’s license. Police could smell the odor of marijuana coming from the room and noticed several empty containers of alcohol in the room. The man told police that he had taken the empty bottles from a recycling bin outside of the residence hall. During questioning, the man lifted his shirt, exposing his waistline. In the coin pocket of the man’s pants, police observed a glass pipe with dark residue on it. The man turned the pipe over to officers and told them that it actually belonged to his suitemates and he put it in his pocket so that they would not get into trouble. Police cited the man on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and released him on scene. The incident has been referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Intoxicated, belligerent man taken to jail

UAPD officers were dispatched to the area of Second Street and Olive Avenue on Oct. 31 at 1:10 a.m. in reference to an intoxicated man. On arrival, officers made contact with a man who was having difficulty walking and was being escorted to the Coconino Residence Hall by his roommate and another friend. Police asked the intoxicated man to sit on the curb during questioning. The man told police he had been drinking at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house. As the officers began filling out a citation, the man became agitated and abusive. The man refused to sign the citation and refused to remain seated on the curb, and at one point began acting in an intimidating and threatening manner toward officers. Police placed the man in handcuffs and continued filling out the citation. The man continued yelling and requested that police take him to jail. Officers cited the man on charges of minor in possession and transported him to Pima County Jail where he was booked. The incident has been referred to the Dean of Students Office.

UAPD officers were dispatched to Hopi Lodge on Oct. 31 at 2:30 p.m. in reference to an assault. On arrival, officers met with a man and a woman. According to the woman, she had dated the man earlier in the year but had broken up with him approximately two weeks ago. She told police the man implied that he would hurt himself if she did not date him again. The woman agreed to meet the man that day, in the hopes of persuading him not to hurt himself. She met the man at Bear Down Field at approximately 2:05 p.m. She told the man she did not want to date him anymore and he became agitated. She attempted to walk back toward Hopi Lodge, but the man blocked her route. She turned and walked toward McKale Center and he followed her. At McKale Center, the man put her into a “bear hug” and she threatened to slap him if he did not let her go. The man released her, but left his hands at her sides so that she could not leave the area. She slapped the man in the face and asked him what he wanted. He told her he wanted her to be his girlfriend again, to which she replied, “Fine then, I’m your girlfriend.” The woman then began walking back toward Hopi Lodge and the man followed her, calling her a “slut” and threatening to call the police. When the woman arrived at her car, she attempted to get into the driver’s seat but the man blocked her entrance. She went around to the passenger side and entered the vehicle, but the man blocked the door and would not allow her to close it. She exited the vehicle, stepped over the man and managed to get into the driver’s seat. She attempted to leave in her car but the man blocked her car and called police. Officers cited both parties on charges of domestic violenceassault and transported them to Pima County Jail.

The 2009 Homecoming Parade took off from the UA Mall Saturday morning. The parade began at Campbell Avenue and marched the length of the Mall to Old Main and back to Campbell Avenue again, encircling a sea of students and alumni decked out in Wildcat gear. “This is fun, a lot more people this year,”Kay Harper, an alumna of 50 years, said,“All the red shirts running around, I love it.” White tents covered the Mall, each dedicated to a different club, college or other organization, allowing returning alumni to find their former classmates. “It’s good to come back and see the college and bring my daughter back to see where mommy went to school and to root on the Wildcats,” nursing alumni Amanda Bennett said. In addition to the crowds of people barbecuing and tailgating, the event featured a food court and beer tent. People broke away from their tents long enough to line the edge of the Mall and watch the various parade floats coast by and cheer on their fellow Wildcats. “It was a great way to get ready for an exciting game,” elementary education junior Katy Shrader said. President Robert Shelton rode by in a vintage convertible followed by former UA president from 1982-91, Henry Koffler. Other notable alumni featured in the sports Hall of Fame, such as Amy Linnen, track; J.T. Snow, baseball; and Chris Nallen, golf, also

made appearances. Past homecoming queens dating back to the 1940s cruised by in old convertibles, along with the alumni band, complete with alumni baton twirlers, which proved a fan favorite. “It’s fun to see that they can still twirl even after they’ve graduated,”Shrader said. Each float paused in front of Bear Down Gymnasium, where an announcer described the float as well as the organization it belonged to. The floats were then judged by eight different people, ranging from professors to the Alumni Association president. A few alumni noted that the parades and their floats seem to have downsized over the years. “It’s not quite the way it was when we were down here in the ‘60s when it was … downtown and they had gigantic Rose Bowl paradetype floats,” alumni Linda Bergstrom said. “We worked for weeks making the floats. It has definitely downsized.” Theta Tau, the co-ed professional engineering fraternity, is notorious for designing the most impressive float each year. This year its float featured a large wooden wagon on four spinning wheels, with fraternity members standing on top. “Very, very creative floats by the students,” alumni Mike Bernas said.“Theta Tau’s is usually the best, the kids are enjoying it.” The parade was a kick-off to a victorious game against the Washington State Cougars. “Great energy, good atmosphere to come to Homecoming, even as an opponent,”Rick Wood, a Washington State Cougar fan, said.

Combined effort seals victory

Blowout of Cougars shows progress of UA football program under Stoops

COMMENTARY BY Brian Kimball sports writer

A

fter the final whistle sounded Saturday afternoon at Arizona Stadium, UA head coach Mike Stoops was happily greeted by his cookie-bearing children before he could step off the playing field. Smiling and laughing, he hugged his son and daughter, shared a brief moment with his wife and then headed to the locker room. In years past, Stoops was rarely in that type of mood directly after any game because he knew there was still a lot of work to be done to get his program where he wanted it to be.

Arizona spreads the wealth in Homecoming beat-down of Cougars By Bobby Stover ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT As fans straggled into Arizona Stadium during the opening minutes of Saturday’s Homecoming game, the No. 18 Arizona football team was busy putting Washington State away. Before most fans even had the chance to set down their belongings, Arizona return man Travis Cobb took the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, giving the Wildcats the early lead. Three minutes later, the Wildcats

(6-2, 4-1 Pacific 10 Conference) again found the end zone and gave the themselves the last score they would need as they went on to overpower the visiting Cougars (1-8, 0-6 Pac-10) by a score of 48-7. The game gave Arizona its bowlqualifying sixth win and with Oregon’s loss to Stanford, put Arizona within a half-game of the Pac-10 lead. “Everyone was having a good game (Saturday),” said defensive end Ricky Elmore. “We played a good game offenRECAP, page 10

THAT’S WHAT THEY SAID

Mike Stoops head coach

on the quality of the Pacific 10 Conference: I think we’re rated the number one conference in the country, is that not right? I mean, you would never know it. If you could get that out to ESPN, I would certainly appreciate it if you guys (the media) can get that out there for us. It’s extraordinary. … Six wins I don’t think guarantees you anything right now, so we’ve just got to keep playing.

Key Stats:

Ricky Elmore, DE; three tackles (two for loss), two sacks, fumble recovery Travis Cobb, WR; 95-yard KO return for TD on first play of game

Washington State

Defensive coordinator Mark Stoops on the team controlling its own fate in the Pac-10: That’s what we play for and that’s always what we’re striving for. You know what, it does feel good. It’s nice, we’re ready to go and we’re excited to get going for this next week. I don’t know if it was unexpected. Obviously we know we can lose if we don’t play well, but we have that type of confidence in our team and really have the past couple years.

on being bowl eligible: Being bowl eligible, that’s always a good thing, but as we know from the past it doesn’t really mean anything until Xavier Kelley you finally get there. linebacker We’re still playing for our top goal right now, that top spot.

Team struggles to score versus Oregon schools

Xavier Hicks, S; 12 tackles on the day Jared Karstetter, WR; caught WSU’s lone TD pass, 64 yards in final quarter

Offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes evaluating the offense’s play: I thought we did a good job of doing what we needed to do. We weren’t as sharp in some ways as we needed to be. But we didn’t turn the ball over and I thought that was really important.

on his game-opening score:It was really exciting. When it was me and the kicker I was thinking, “I’m going to run this back” because if I had gotten tackled by the kicker, I would have been so mad. So at that point I knew it was a wrap, I was taking it back.

Referees will have influence on the game, positive and negative. It’s just something you have to deal with,”Galas said.“Jasmine has never gotten a red card before in her life.” Four cards were given in the second half, three of them to Arizona.

Soccer drops final two Emotions ran high as the Arizona soccer team honored its five seniors before kickoff at the season closer yesterday. But the Beavers wasted no time in squashing the little enthusiasm the Wildcats had, as Oregon State forward Melinda Ingalls scored a goal in the first minute of the game. Oregon State went on to shut out the Wildcats 3-0 at Mulcahy Stadium. “We obviously didn’t start off on the right foot, giving up an early goal. It changed what we needed to do,” said co-interim head coach John Galas. “It certainly was a letdown for our seniors, giving up the goal early.” Redshirt senior goalkeeper Devon Wharf started in net but was clearly unable to continue playing with a knee injury. In a show of good sportsmanship, the Beavers allowed Wharf to start and purposely kicked the kickoff out of bounds. That allowed goalie Ashley Jett to sub in for Wharf 28 seconds into the game. The Wildcats outshot the Beavers 5-3, but the scoring difficulties that had been the cause of their struggles all season remained in the last game, causing Oregon State to lead 2-0 at halftime. In the second half, the Wildcats continued to outshoot the Beavers, but neither team made any threat to score. Both teams played physical secondhalf soccer as Arizona senior Jasmine

Impact Players:

For the second weekend in a row, Arizona volleyball split its matches against the Pacific 10 Conference. This time, however, it did so on the road. “Any time you get a road win, it’s good,” said head coach Dave Rubio. “It’s disappointing that we weren’t able to take care of business (Saturday) night, but I was very proud of the way we played on Friday. Unfortunately, we couldn’t carry that over to our Saturday night match against Oregon State.” “It was really nice getting a win on the road, given how difficult it is, but we failed,” said junior setter Paige Weber. “We had the opportunity to sweep on the road and we didn’t do that.” The Wildcats lost 3-1 in the match at Oregon State (12-12, 3-9 Pac-10) after defeating the then-No. 14 Oregon Ducks (15-5, 5-5 Pac-10) on Friday night. Arizona (17-7, 6-7 Pac-10) couldn’t contain Beaver senior Rachel Rourke, who hit .373 and had 31 kills in four sets. “Especially in a four-game match, that’s a ridiculous amount of kills to have. We couldn’t find an answer for her,” Weber said. “We didn’t come out to prepare to perform the way we had to, and she came out ready to carry her team and pick them up after the loss they had had the night before.”

The Wildcats, who have made a trend of winning the first set in a match, failed to do so against Oregon State. Arizona fell behind early, and trailed for the entire set until it was able to knot it up at 24-24. The close set would also be tied at points, 25, 26, 27, 28 before the first set went into extra points. Arizona was finally defeated 30-28. Arizona bounced back to take the second set in the match, 25-23, but the Wildcats could not muster enough offense in the third to swing the momentum back in their favor. They hit just .129 in the third set. “They served well, and I didn’t think we serve-received well. It still came down to the two aspects, serving and passing,” Rubio said. “They dictated the match more than anything.” All week, Arizona had been preparing for No. 14 Oregon, and it showed. “Against Oregon, we knew what they were going to do every step of the game. We knew it ahead of time,” Weber said. “(The coaches) prepared us for every formation we could see, every lineup, every lineup change they could potentially make, who they would set, when they would set them.” The first night, Arizona was the team to command the match. The Wildcats had three players in double figures and had an attacking perVBALL, page 11


Olson, four others inducted to HOF By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat The Hall of Fame induction ceremony for five Arizona Wildcat sports figures was held Friday night at McKale Center. Former men’s basketball coach Lute Olson led the 2009 class that also included baseball product J.T. Snow, LPGA golfer Lorena Ochoa, men’s golfer Chris Nallen and pole vaulter Amy Linnen. Athletic Director Jim Livengood and senior associate athletic director Rocky LaRose each made brief statements before videos showed the accomplishments of the inductees. “The neat thing about this is it’s not just about tonight,� Livengood told the inductees. “You’re always a Hall of Fame member.� Four of the five inductees attended the event. Ochoa was in Japan competing in an LPGA event. But without question, it was Ol-

son who had the most lasting legacy among the 2009 group. “I was going to wear my blue blazer and tie,� Olson joked. “I wanted to see if anybody would recognize who I am.� He went on to recognize the other four inductees and then spoke about his late wife Bobbi Olson, who “had so much to do with establishing (the basketball) program.� The other members of the class, like Olson, thanked the university and said the athletic program was much more like a family. Linnen called the honor the highlight of her life, while former MLB star Snow, whose only scholarship offer out of high school was to go to the UA, thanked his wife and son. But it was Olson who gave the most nostalgic speech. “I haven’t cut myself lately, but I’m sure there (would) be some red and blue,� he said. “I will remain a Wildcat until the day I die.�

New attitude shines in swim and dive opener By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat More than a year removed from two national championships, the UA swim and dive team needed a new mindset and focus to start this season. That change in mentality showed in the team’s convincing season-opening victory over UNLV and Wisconsin. “The mindset of this team so far has been where it was two years ago, not taking anything for granted,� said senior Justine Schluntz. “No matter how well we do, we’re definitely hungry.� The Wildcats showed some of that hunger in their first meet of the season, as the men bested Wisconsin 190-103 and UNLV 161-119, while the women dominated the competition, beating UNLV 238-60 and Wisconsin 178-122. Schluntz admitted that the team was a little too relaxed at the start of last season, but with a new mentality and some new swimmers in place, it showed how badly it wants to be back at the top. Both the men’s and women’s teams started out with medley wins, and for the most part coasted for the rest of the meet. A slew of new swimmers impressed, and the senior leaders did

what was expected of them. But the most significant development of the meet came from a man who didn’t even swim last season: redshirt sophomore Cory Chitwood. Chitwood, who missed all of last season due to shoulder surgery, picked up where he left off after his stellar freshman campaign, winning both of his individual events in his first meet in more than a year. Chitwood won the 100-yard backstroke in 49.40 and the 200-yard backstroke in 1:47.90. “It’s great to see Cory race again,� said head coach Frank Busch. “To him this is very exciting, just to have the opportunity to come back and swim.� No one was more excited to kick off the season than Chitwood. “I’ve been talking about (the meet) since last year at this time,� Chitwood said. “I mean, everyone else is looking forward to (the NCAA Championships) and world champ trials and I’m just looking forward to the Wisconsin dual meet.� With so many freshmen and transfers, Chitwood wasn’t the only person looking SWIM, page 11

Forward Brian Slugocki handles the puck in the Ice Cats’ home opener against Eastern Washington on Friday. The freshman scored a goal in the third period of Arizona’s second game against the Eagles. Mike Christy/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

Struggles continue for Icecats Home opener goes poorly for Arizona By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat Although the Icecats (2-7) struggled with intensity and focus at UNLV two weekends ago, they didn’t expect problems with desire and concentration during the team’s home opener in front of thousands of fans. That wasn’t the case. Playing their first game at the Tucson Convention Center since Feb. 21, the Icecats were swept at the hands of Eastern Washington University Friday and Saturday, extending their losing streak to four games. “The players have got to play intense,�said head coach Leo Golembiewski.“They got fandom, they got an arena, they got a coaching staff. Do what you’re supposed to do — it’s just that simple.� The Icecats were unable to do what they were supposed to do this weekend, as they were outscored 11-3. In the Icecats’ last four games, all losses, they have been outscored 27-9. In the first game of the series, sophomore forward Brady Lefferts got the Icecats on the board early with a goal 1:14 into the game. But for the next 58:46, the Icecats’ offense was nonexistent. Two minutes after Lefferts’ goal, Eastern Washington defenseman Justin Crosby answered with a score of his own. Eastern Washington added two more goals in the period and never looked back en route to a 6-1 victory. As has been the case for the majority of the season, the Icecats were outshot by a staggering 25 shots, 48-23.

“Our biggest Achilles heel is we’ve got to shoot the puck,� Golembiewski said. “You have the opportunity, you’ve got to turn around and drill it. You can’t score unless you shoot.� The Icecats had some chances to put the puck in the net — seven power plays — but never got the rhythm and chemistry necessary to get solid shot attempts. They did a much better job creating opportunities for themselves in game two, as they were only outshot 44-40. But even with the increase in shots on goal, the Icecats weren’t able to muster up enough offense to warrant a victory. Game two was a stalemate through one period, and it appeared the Icecats would take the lead, with freshman Brian Slugocki attempting a penalty shot. Slugocki missed the shot, and Eastern Washington scored a breakaway goal on the next play. That sequence appeared to be the turning point, and the Icecats were never able to bounce back. They were down 2-0 heading into the third when Slugocki scored 27 seconds into the period. Spanning across games one and two, it was the team’s first goal in 99 minutes and 19 seconds. Not exactly the same Icecat offense that scored 17 goals in three games at the showcase. Eastern Washington once again answered the Icecat goal, as center Taylor McClay scored 3:58 into the final period. Another Eastern Washington goal two minutes later sealed the deal for the Eagles, who eventually won 5-2. ICECATS, page 11

Football in position to control own destiny

Stoops. “All the hard work that we do (is) to give us the chance to play for bigger stakes toward the end of the year and I think it does say a lot about Mike withstanding all that.� One of those bigger stakes Mark Stoops mentioned is that the No. 18 Wildcats control their own destiny in the race for the Pacific 10 Conference championship. Arizona is the only school in the conference that has never played in the Rose Bowl. The sheer opportunity to have the Rose Bowl in their sights this late in the season might be surprising, because it wasn’t too long ago that the Wildcats were the cellar Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat dwellers of the Pac-10. Arizona head coach Mike Stoops has built the However, finding a nationally Wildcats football program from its foundation up.

ranked UA team near the top of the Pac-10 standings doesn’t surprise this group of Wildcats. Not this season. Not for the next few seasons, either. In previous years, just making a bowl game would be considered a dream come true for UA football. During Saturday’s postgame press conference, Mike Stoops almost seemed irritated when asked what it means to be bowl eligible for the second straight season. “I don’t think that’s a big deal to us. I think we have a lot out there to play for,� he said with a furrowed brow. “It’s a good position, but obviously each win now puts you in different categories. That’s certainly our

goal ‌ to go as high as we can and play as well as we can.â€? To get as high as they can, the Wildcats must overcome a daunting four-week slate to close their season. A road trip to California is on deck, followed by the final home game of the season against No. 14 Oregon. The Wildcats’ final two games are at rival ASU and at No. 11 USC, respectively. In past years, Arizona would have likely been ecstatic to come out of that schedule with a 2-2 mark. This time around, the team has its collective sights set much, much higher. “We’ve always played well late in the year and played good against good teams,â€? Mike Stoops said.

That trend should continue this year. And now, Arizona is one of those good teams. The Wildcats were picked by Pac-10 media to finish the year as the conference’s eighth-best team, but they’ve already blown that prediction into oblivion. Using that as motivation for the season, Arizona set out to show that last year’s Las Vegas Bowl win wasn’t a one-year wonder. This season a talented, deep UA squad is proving this won’t be the last time Stoops’ troops contend with the league’s elite.

sively, defensively and on special teams. We haven’t done that this year so it felt really good seeing that.� Despite the dominance exhibited on the scoreboard, no single Arizona player finished the day with stand-out numbers. In a game in which backup players saw significant playing time, the combined effort of the team was apparent. Starting quarterback Nick Foles finished the day with a low-key 136 yards with 12 completions and a single touchdown pass. With usual starting running back Nic Grigbsy sitting out with a shoulder injury, backup Nick Booth saw the majority of the carries, with 18 for 88 yards, but also shared time with sophomore Keola Antolin and freshman Taimi Tutogi, who added 63 and 50 yards, respectively, in addition to a touchdown run each. Backup quarterback Matt Scott also saw significant playing time and finished the day as Arizona’s leading rusher with 91 yards off 10 attempts while also adding 41 yards through the air. “I was really excited to see some of those other guys getting to play,� Foles said. “Those guys put in a lot of work during the week and then sometimes they don’t get to go out there. So they got out there (Saturday) and they had a good game.� Defensively, Arizona dominated the Cougars’ front line and sacked WSU quarterbacks five times in addition to forcing a pair of fumbles. On the Cougars’ first three possessions of the game,

the Wildcats’ defense forced them into three-andouts. When WSU finally began moving the ball midway through the second quarter, Arizona’s defense stalled the Cougars inside the red zone and linebacker Xavier Kelley forced WSU quarterback Jeff Tuel to fumble. It was the fourth quarter before the Cougars were inside the Arizona 40-yard line again. “(The game) was a lot of fun,� Kelley said. “We had guys in the right positions making the right plays, that’s always fun. “(WSU) is a good football team. They just have some stuff they’re trying to work out,� he added. The Cougars managed to avoid the shutout with a 64-yard touchdown pass with 6:23 left in the fourth quarter. But for Arizona, the score mattered little. The Wildcats simply moved down the field and ran out the clock to put an end to a day in which they saw success from a variety of players on both sides of the ball. Even though there were no stars for the Wildcats on Saturday, the team as a whole dominated the Cougars and are now sitting high in the Pac-10. “(A Pac-10 title) is what we play for and that’s always what we’re striving for,� said defensive coordinator Mark Stoops. “We always believe we can win. We absolutely know each and every week that we go out there we have a chance to win.�

Coach: ‘This is not the same team I saw in Ohio’

Junior goaltender Nick Taylor was the sole bright spot for the Icecats, as he kept the game competitive in his first career start. Despite only playing nine minutes last season, Taylor was ready and kept the team in the game even as the offense sputtered. Although the goaltending may be improving, the Icecats have a slew of other issues that need to be resolved. “I know what I saw in Ohio (at the ACHA Showcase), and this is not the same team that I saw in Ohio,”said associate coach Dave Dougall. “We’re not playing with that same intensity and fire that we had.” The Icecats were missing one of their biggest sources of intensity, Geordy Weed, due to a family commitment, but the loss of one person was no

excuse for a lack of desire. Golembiewski made it clear that rotations will begin to tighten, and if players are not giving their all out on the ice, they will sit. “Ice time is at stake,” Golembiewski said. “If you want to play in this building you’re going to skate, you’re going to shoot, you’re going to play your position and you’re going to play with heart.” The Icecats are on the same path as last year by losing so many early games, and need to dig themselves out of this hole before it is too late. “Last couple of years, we’ve had slow starts and have managed to pull it together, but it’s not something we can sit around and wait for,” said co-captain Jordan Schupan. “We need to speak with our actions on the ice right now.”

Earning second win on road pleases Rubio

centage of .317 overall. Junior outside hitter Tiffany Owens notched number 12 on the double-double meter, and Weber had 50 assists and 11 digs for her third consecutive double double. “From an execution standpoint, we were probably as clean as I’ve seen us play this year,” Rubio said. “We were pretty tuned in. We had to play pretty well to beat those guys and we were

very well prepared.” The win at Oregon brings Arizona’s conference road win total up to two games this season. The Wildcats will play the second half of the Territorial Cup next weekend when they welcome rival Arizona State to McKale Center. Arizona defeated ASU in Tempe, Ariz., earlier this season for its first road win in more than two years. The match is scheduled for Friday night at 7.

A look ahead...

Bears without Best on Saturday as Arizona rolls into town BERKELEY, Calif. — California star tailback Jahvid Best was released from the hospital Sunday and will miss at least one game, next week’s contest against Arizona in Berkeley, after sustaining a concussion on a terrifying fall in the end zone. Best, who has 867 yards on 6.1 yards per rush, spent the night at Highland General Hospital in Oakland for observation and tests after landing on the back of his head in the end zone and being briefly knocked unconscious in the Golden Bears’ 31-14 loss to Oregon State on Saturday night. Best was hurt on a seven-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He vaulted into the air over Oregon State safety Cameron Collins and

fell on the back of his head from at least five feet. His helmet came off on impact and he briefly lost consciousness. Best’s jersey was removed and he was wearing an oxygen mask when carted out of the stadium. Best sustained a slight concussion the previous week against ASU and missed two days of practice last week. Tedford said the team would be cautious with Best, keeping him out of this week’s game against Arizona before deciding when he will play next. In his absence, the Bears will count on Shane Vereen, who has rushed for 386 yards and scored eight touchdowns this season.

Arizona colleges turn to young grads for cash By Anne Ryman The Arizona Republic PHOENIX — There is a new hope and strategy for Arizona’s three state universities as they work on building their base of donors to ensure more financial health and stronger programs well into the future. More than ever, college alumni younger than 35 are being cultivated as potential sources of money by the universities, which find that their traditional

mainstay of support, state funding, is failing to keep pace with needs. Alumni associations are leading the charge, reinventing themselves to connect better with younger graduates. The associations are branching out far beyond the glossy, semiannual magazine and football-watching parties at local bars. They’re sponsoring career-networking events and using social Web sites such as Facebook and Twitter. They have even broadened the

definition of “alumni.” Babies, for instance, can belong to the ASU Alumni Association for a $25-a-year fee. ASU and the other two state universities have a ways to go, though. The state’s universities already underachieve when it comes to percentage of all alumni who give. ASU, the UA and NAU are at or near the bottom of their respective peer-school lists, collecting money from 11 percent, 6 percent and 5 percent of alumni, respectively.

The last thing on the minds of many younger graduates is joining an alumni group or making donations to their alma mater. They’re still establishing their careers, their earnings remain low, and they may be starting families. UA recently launched Career Connections, a network of alumni that helps graduating students transition into careers. Alumni in the network agree to talk to students about their career fields. At the same time they are under

pressure to bring in more members, all three state alumni associations are working with fewer staff this year because of the tough economy. NAU and UA have also cut back on events. They are optimistic that once the economy turns around, their membership numbers and alumni contributions will grow. “I tell my staff every day, ‘One alum at a time,’“ said Neil Goodell, NAU’s director of alumni relations.

first and second prizes to undergraduate and graduate students in each category. First prize winners receive $250 and second prize winners receive $120. The judges assessed the projects based on the quality of presentation, academic merit, value to the community and overall impression. “We basically are looking for people who have an expertise in an area and try to match them up to the categories that we have,” Gerlach said. Andrew Comrie, dean of the graduate college, was the keynote speaker for the awards ceremony. “You may be wondering why a bunch of students have posters up in the middle of what is otherwise a big party,” he said. “It’s because we’re a bunch of nerds.” Comrie stressed the importance of the UA’s role as a research university. “The essence here is that we actually create the new knowledge right here and it’s our duty, our obligation, our responsibility to disseminate that knowledge,”he said. Isabel Herrera, an architecture graduate student, presented a project she completed as an undergraduate,“Sustainable and Affordable Housing: Student Design and

Between Nature and Society.” Sasse organized an exhibit at the Tucson Museum of Art, where she also works, from Feb. 28 to June 28, 2009. “What I was looking at was the range of artists who approached the environment from different perspectives,”she said.“It was looking at how beautiful it is and at once how terrifying, and also, in the beauty, the wake up call.” Sasse began working on the project in 2003. She said the exhibit showed different disasters, caused both naturally and by humans, including pollution, overpopulation, tornadoes and lightning. The artists came from all over the world and worked in different mediums, such as video, sculpture, painting and photography. “By looking at it through the lens of art, it’s not just a scientific approach, it’s a humanistic approach,” she said. She said she was glad to be able to share her work with the community. “It felt really good to have people acknowledge the work you do,”she said.“It made me feel honored to be among (the other research projects). It makes me want to work harder.”

Construction.” She won second place in the undergraduate architecture, planning and landscape architecture category. Along with three other students, Herrera designed a house that will be built near campus. It uses sustainable features such as rammed earth walls, native landscaping and strategically placed windows. The design process took one semester, and the construction will take another semester. “Part of the idea for the house is that we’re going to give it back to the community,” she said. The house will be sold to low-income families, she said. Herrera said the showcase helped her with her presentation skills, among other things. “Apart from the theory of design, we had to look into how it would be constructed and the cost of construction,” she said. “And it was a team effort, so that was an interesting process.” Julie Sasse, a history and theory of art graduate student, won first place in visual and performing arts, honorable mention for the president’s award and the Association of Women Faculty award in the graduate division for her project,“Trouble in Paradise: Examining Discord

Freshman Whyte finds comfort in W-hoops win By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat Freshman guard Davellyn Whyte presented head coach Niya Butts with a gift before yesterday’s game. It was a small black bow to be worn in Butts’ hair, and attached to the bow was the freshman’s promise that she would play better. Whyte, the 2009 Gatorade Arizona High School player of the year, delivered on her promise yesterday, providing a glimpse of her future by leading the Arizona women’s basketball team to its second exhibition win of the year on Sunday. The Wildcats took down Grand Canyon University in dominating fashion 83-56 at McKale Center. Whyte tied for the team lead in scoring with 14 points while also bringing down seven rebounds. “Thursday was just my first time (in a game situation) so I didn’t know what to expect, and now I’m just getting into the swing of things a little better,” Whyte said of playing in her second game as a Wildcat. The Phoenix native was held scoreless most of the first half, until she buried a three-pointer with 1:53 left in the half to break the drought. Whyte finished the half with five points before totaling nine more in the second half of the team’s winning effort. “I think (Whyte) calmed down a little bit, she’s settling down and doing a better job of just keeping herself under control,” Butts said. Division II Grand Canyon was able to take advantage of Arizona turnovers by scoring early, prompting Butts to call a timeout with 10:44 left in the first half. Junior forward Ify Ibekwe, who recorded her second straight doubledouble by notching 10 points and 12 rebounds, felt the timeout helped slow the game down for the team. “We were just a little fatigued,” said Ibekwe. “(Coach) just told us to calm down, and said, you know, ‘C’mon, let’s play.’” The Wildcats trailed 16-17 with 9:03 to play before Ibekwe’s inside bucket and back-to-back three pointers by senior Ashley Frazier and sophomore Brooke Jackson jumpstarted the Arizona offense. They went on a 19-8 run to enter the locker room with a 35-25 halftime lead. Arizona began crashing the boards late in the first half to stifle Grand Canyon’s offense, taking away second-chance opportunities for the Antelopes. Arizona continued to improve its rebounding margin in the second half, opening up fast-break

W-tennis plays upand-down at invite By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona women’s tennis team had scattered success this weekend at the Southwest Collegiate Invite in Albuquerque, N.M., and returns to Tucson looking for some more consistency. “The tournament went a bit as expected with some highlights here and there, but (there is) also a clear sense of needing more improvements between now and January,” said head coach Vicky Maes. Playing in matches at the tournament were senior Ariane Masschelein, freshman Elizabeth Hammond and sophomore Sarah Landsman. Landsman went undefeated in singles play over the weekend by sweeping all four of her matches in straight sets, earning praise from Maes for her consistency. Hammond was not able to win any matches at the invite, but since this was only her second match at Arizona, the freshman

will have plenty of time to improve with what Maes described as a “go-getter attitude.” Masschelein dropped her first match at the invite to Oregon’s Trudie du Toit 7-6, 6-4 before she bounced back to win her next two matches. In doubles, Landsman and Masschelein paired up to win of two of three matches at the tournament, including an 8-4 win over a University of Texas at El Paso tandem. Maes hopes to see her team compete better mentally on the courts and was disappointed in that aspect of the team this weekend. “We continue to learn valuable lessons, and I know we can put them all together once the team season rolls around,” Maes said. “It’s a matter of commitment to the process.” The Wildcats will practice this week in preparation for their last tournament of the fall at the California State University Northridge Invitational in Los Angeles, which is slated to begin Nov. 13.

AROUND THE NFL Cowboys topple Eagles

Davellyn Whyte battles for control of the ball in Arizona’s 83-56 win in its second exhibition game on Sunday. The freshman had a breakout game for the Wildcats, scoring 14 points in 24 minutes in McKale Center.

chances that fed directly into the new up-tempo style of offense. The “run and gun” style was on full display in the second half, as Arizona scored four quick points in less than a minute, capped by a Frazier threepointer at 19:11 that gave the Wildcats a 14-point lead. That seemed to squash any hopes Grand Canyon had of a second-half comeback. Reduced turnovers in the second half helped Arizona’s offense maintain its rhythm en route to the 83-56 win, but both Butts and Whyte saw room for improvement. “We turned the ball over way too much, and going into regular season play we need to do a better job taking care of the ball,”Butts said.“A lot of that is just slowing down and making better reads … and that’s going to come with a little more time.

“We’re also meshing together more and coming together as a team, so we’re still learning to play with each other,”Whyte added. The 23 assists on the offensive side of the ball was proof of how the Arizona team with many new faces continues to grow and gel on the court. Ibekwe, Whyte and Jackson all scored in double figures, while three more Wildcats notched nine points, giving the offense confidence knowing that several players are able to contribute. “I think we’ve got a special group, and we’re looking forward to the rest of the season,” Butts added. Sunday’s win completed the exhibition season for Arizona and they will travel to New Rochelle, N.Y., to compete in the Iona College TipOff Tournament beginning Saturday, Nov. 14.

PHILADELPHIA — Now the Dallas Cowboys can forget about last season’s awful finish. Tony Romo threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin midway through the fourth quarter and the Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 20-16 Sunday night in the 100th meeting between the division rivals. On the final day of the 2008 regular season, the Eagles dominated Dallas 44-6 in a do-or-die game for both teams. Philadelphia earned a wild-card berth with that victory, won two playoff contests on the road and advanced to the NFC championship game, losing at Arizona. The Cowboys (6-2) spent the whole offseason thinking about that horrendous ending. They got their revenge and took over sole possession of first place in the NFC East with their fourth straight victory. “Our last loss against them really motivated us to come out and play good,” Cowboys DeMarcus Ware said. The Eagles fell to 5-3 and the New York Giants are 5-4 after a 5-0 start. Romo finished 21 of 34 for 307 yards, one touchdown and one interception. “We executed,”Romo said.“I think the coaches put together a good plan. You just have to keep fighting and

getting better.”

Rookie QB leads Bucs to first victory

TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers saluted their past, then rookie Josh Freeman gave the struggling franchise hope for the future. Freeman passed for 205 yards and three touchdowns Sunday, including a 7-yard throw to Sammie Stroughter on fourth-and-4, leading the previously winless Bucs to a 38-28 victory over the Green Bay Packers. In his first pro start, the 17th pick in the draft out of Kansas State completed 14 of 31 passes with just one interception. A critical second pick was wiped out by a Green Bay penalty during the go-ahead drive. The Bucs (1-7) are the last team in the NFL to win this season. It was also the first victory for the league’s youngest head coach, 33-year-old Raheem Morris, who replaced Jon Gruden after Tampa Bay went 0-4 in December and missed the playoffs last year. Aaron Rodgers threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns for the Packers (4-4). He also threw three interceptions and had one returned for a touchdown that put the game out of reach in the final minute. — The Associated Press
