UA to corporatize research

New campus conglomerate to make research more efficient, attainable By Lívia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A new UA corporation aims to make campus research more efficient and available to the public. The UA administration is developing the basis of a daughter entity to the UA Foundation . It hopes to increase resources to transition university research into the marketplace. Provost Meredith Hay announced the new UA Research Corporation (UARC) Oct. 28 at the IdeaFunding conference . UARC’s structure has been debated for eight months, said Pat Jones, director of the Office of Technology Transfer. According

to Jones, the development is part of on-going changes in the university’s academic structure by the administration. The corporation’s creation targets the expansion of public-private partnerships. It aims to generate more resources and partners “to help translate discoveries into innovations available for public use,” Jones said. Having an entity separate from the university to attract more resources makes implementing processes simpler, which is the real upside of UARC according to Jones . Translating discoveries into innovations takes a lot of effort, Jones said, and the corporation should broaden the possibilities and make their execution easier.

Possibilities of synergies between departments and new structures are part of that process. Streamlining and making UA entities as efficient as possible is the goal, Jones said. “For example, when we help faculty create start-ups, we’re not able to take equity in (them). So we take a form of stock option. (It’s) cumbersome to implement. Efficiency is obtained by doing things in kind of the most efficient way possible,” he said. Jones’ office, which reports to the Office of the Vice President for Research , will be part of the new structure. Vice President for Research Leslie Tolbert said it’s unclear RESEARCH, page A3

Audience cries over oil spill Journalist describes first-hand experience with desolate families, destruction

Dahr Jamail, an investigative journalist, speaks about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on Monday in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering building. Jamail spoke of the effects the oil spill had on the environment and the economy.

By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A lecture on the BP oil spill on Monday had its audience in awe, moving some to tears. UA’s Voices of Opposition , a group that focuses on issues of war, racism and oppression in weekly lectures and films , invited independent investigative journalist Dahr Jamail to report on the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. A large projector showed the audience photographs of the coast, glassy with oil pollution and depicting inhabitants of coastal areas affected by the spill. Dr. Mary Jo Ghory, one of the program’s coordinators, helped put on the event at 7 p.m., Monday in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering building . Ghory said she “dragged him out here,” after they

had great responses from Jamail’s previous UA appearances where he discussed Iraq issues he reported on. “It’s an important issue and it’s nice to talk about something besides war, yet this one isn’t rainbows

“The Gulf of Mexico disaster is still in its beginning stages … It makes us look square in the face at our oil addiction, and its costs.” — Dahr Jamail Investigative journalist and jelly beans either,” she said. Jamail spoke of how fisherman, seafood

distributors, marine coastal life and families are affected due to the hazardous waters. “I just got back about two days ago from my third trip down there,” Jamail began in his lecture. “I’ve spent two months total down there now, and I can tell you unequivocally that this thing is just beginning.” An elderly woman in the crowd sobbed as Jamail showed images of the damage done to the Gulf because of the oil spill. Jamail described the current conditions of the Gulf as “post-apocalyptic.” He described his first-hand experience in the Gulf region, when he traveled there to report along with his partner, an artist and documentary photographer. “You get down there and the first OIL SPILL, page A3

Student veterans honor holiday By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Kim Shroyer ’s typical Veterans Day tradition consists of a juicy steak and a beer, items she can enjoy now that she is no longer in Iraq. Shroyer, age 30, is double majoring in history and gender and women studies; she is also the philanthropic coordinator for the Student Veterans of America chapter on campus, which has gained national recognition. She served in Iraq as a mechanic from October 2005 to 2006. Shroyer said every time someone does something veteran-related, it makes them think about things they do not necessarily want to think about. Because of this feeling, she usually reflects on the annual American holiday honoring military veterans at home with her partner. There are about 1,000 veterans on campus and the club has now been recognized for more than two years, according to Shroyer. It can be hard for veterans to fit it on campus, she said. The UA holds service classes that help students reintegrate, called Supportive Education for Returning Veterans. She recalls taking a Vietnam class and a student speaking out saying that the soldiers were evil, to which she replied, “The soldiers did things they were not supposed to have done and they should be held accountable for that, but you can’t judge someone until you know what it is like to die in war or fear for your life.” She said it can be difficult to relate to some students because of her life experiences, but what is most important to her is that people have respect. Matt Randle, director of the Veterans Services Office, served in Iraq from 1998 to 2003 as a medic, said that Veterans Day is not just about sales in retail stores. For generations, less than 1 percent of people in this country took a responsibility of defending our freedom to get an education and have political VETERANS, page A3

Studio: Rock on campus By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT On Olive Street, past Crowder Hall and down Stairwell B, lies the basement of the UA Music building and what Jeff Haskell calls the place he would spend his entire life. Room 57 is a “laboratory for production, for improvisation, for making decisions on the spot,” a basement and the UA’s School of Music recording studio.

“The studio is an omnivorous animal, it eats everything,” said Haskell , professor in the UA’s School of Music and director of the recording studio .

Eric Allee

Microbiology sophomore What is your definition of “normal”? What kind of question is that? The average, I guess. And what is the average? What most people are doing. Yeah, and what are most people doing? I don’t know just the typical things that people are doing. Do you consider yourself “normal”? Yeah. What about stereotypes, do you have any? I’m Asian, so people tend to go off that, and it doesn’t help that I’m a microbiology major … so typical smart, scientific Asian. Anyways, how do you feel about Kanye West? Terrible artist. OK, his music sounds good, but he’s not very talented. I like Kid Cudi, cannot wait to download the new album. How do you feel about Dwayne Carter’s release from prison? He shoulda’ stayed there. Would you rather have T.I. out than Wayne? To be honest, I really could care less. It’s all really a bunch of nonsense. People go to and from jail everyday, there is absolutely no reason to celebrate people paying time for their crime. How do you feel about gun and weapon control on campus? It’s good, for protection. Too much violence in today’s day and age, crime is everywhere. Do you feel it’s OK for students to carry around weapons or leave them in their cars? Yeah, because anybody who pulls out their gun will get shot immediately, because everyone has guns. There would definitely be fewer crimes. Don’t you think if there are more weapons there will be more crimes? No, not at all. Nobody would shoot because they know they would get shot back at. Are you basing these answers on real life experience? No, COD (“Call of Duty”) and other experiences, because in COD you only survive about two shots which takes about an eighth of a second but if you have the Noob Tube, a grenade launcher, you can blow ‘em away in one hit. Got it. Would you ever let your son or daughter carry around a weapon? Oh yeah, so they can shoot people that are mean to them. Nobody is messing with little man. Did you wait in line for the new COD last night? No, I’m probably going to steal it from Ben Cohodas. Who is Mr. Cohodas? He’s this guy. He’s pretty stingy because of his religion. — Caroline Nachazel

Hungry for holiday thrills? Try dining in a life-size gingerbread house

When Hansel and Gretel stumbled upon a gingerbread house, they nearly got eaten by a witch. Now there’s a real-life house of candy where the only thing boys and girls need to worry about is whether someone’s already licked the frosting on the front door. The Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls, Canada is preparing its third annual giant gingerbread house, complete

with more than 600 pounds of gingerbread, 1,000 pounds of icing, 2,000 chocolate wafers, 750 cookies and 4,900 pretzels. Construction of its two-storyhigh wooden frame began Monday, and today a culinary team will begin applying confections to the life-size candy cottage. Three fulltime bakers, an executive chef and one sous chef will be dedicated to the project for the next two weeks. In previous years, the

gingerbread house has been a favorite feature of the Great Wolf Lodge, which also includes an indoor waterpark complex, minigolf and other family-themed entertainment. “You can smell it when you walk into the building,” general manager Keith Simmonds said. “You can smell the gingerbread and chocolate — and it’s lit up and glitters.” — AOL News

Today’s birthday The balance of private to social time in your life changes this year. An older partner or associate has intense suggestions. Listen for the high priority items, and let others manage the rest. Remind them that it’s just a game. It’s more fun if you play. Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 6 — You could obsess over the details of your partner’s situation, or instead, redirect that energy toward your own to-do list. This gets more accomplished. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 7 — Sticking to a practical plan presents problems. Others in the group just want to play. Bribe them if you must, to get the job done. Promise entertainment later. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 7 — You’re nearing the finish line. All the pieces are there before you, and all you need is to put them together and add a glamorous final touch. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) — Today is a 6 — Someone in your household is over-thinking today’s schedule. You may need to just get started before figuring out the finishing touches. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — Don’t let your impulsive ideas carry you off task. Instead, harness that imagination to make ordinary processes more fun. Best results show when you focus wit and energy. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — Your self-esteem lies in the balance while you wrestle with an associate’s question. The group needs to address the situation, to discover workable choices.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) — Today is a 6 — Questions arise in your work that only you can answer. Don’t depend on others. Use your own imagination to cast light directly on the problem. Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) — Today is a 6 — Internal dialogue provides you a different point of logic. Harmony is the goal, and assertive energy is required to achieve it. Imagine freedom. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — An older associate takes some of your work, so that you can spend time with family. Use the time to regroup and rethink a longterm decision. Change is good. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) — Today is a 5 — You may feel anxious about career goals. Pay attention to the mood. You discover that the worry isn’t yours. Help someone else to lighten it. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — Thoughts race as you evaluate new data. You didn’t anticipate an important development that could change everything. Assess well before taking action. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) — Today is a 6 — You may recall a dream about something extremely old. Ancient objects or symbols may reflect the need to research and understand your roots.

Obama moves withdrawl date for Aghanistan to 2014 MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has decided to begin publicly walking away from what it once touted as key deadlines in the war in Afghanistan in an effort to de-emphasize President Barack Obama’s pledge that he’d begin withdrawing U.S. forces in July 2011, administration and military officials have told McClatchy Newspapers. The new policy will be on display next week during a conference of NATO countries in Lisbon, Portugal, where the administration hopes to introduce a timeline that calls for the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan by 2014, the year when Afghan President Hamid Karzai once said Afghan troops could provide their own security, three senior officials told McClatchy, along with others speaking anonymously as a matter of policy. The Pentagon also has decided not to announce specific dates for handing security responsibility for several Afghan provinces to local officials and instead intends to work out a more vague definition of transition when it meets with its NATO allies. What a year ago had been touted as an extensive December review of the strategy now also will be less expansive and will offer no major changes in strategy, the officials said. So far, the U.S. Central Command, the military division that oversees Afghanistan operations, hasn’t submitted any kind of withdrawal order for forces for the July deadline, two of those officials said. The shift already has begun privately and came in part because U.S. officials realized that conditions in Afghanistan were unlikely to allow a speedy withdrawal. “During our assessments, we looked at if we continue to

model will look like. The corporation should report to the UA Foundation in “particular ways,” but would have an independent board. Funding would come in part from services it will provide to the university, from the state and the corporation’s own fundraising. “It’ll tie perhaps in new ways to the business school and its programs and entrepreneurship,” he said. According to Jones, the relationship between faculty members looking to market their discoveries through the university won’t change. “There should be more resources available for the faculty to draw upon,” he said.

thing that happens to you is your eyes start burning , you can feel your heart palpitations speeding, your skin gets flushed, you get a headache that gets worse the longer you stay.” He told the audience of how he spoke to a woman in the fishing industry who said she and her family were getting really sick. She introduced Jamail to a friend of hers who was a charter fisherman. He told Jamail, “Last night I took my dog out to use the nightly restroom break, and there were crabs literally crawling out of the water in the middle of the night because they couldn’t breathe in the water. They were crawling out and dying.” He went on to discuss how BP is trying to fix this using dissolvent chemicals,

which are making waters more toxic and hurting marine life rather than helping. Near the end of the lecture, someone from the audience asked, “How has it come to this?” People asked question after question, all stricken with sadness by the presentation. About 200 people attended with few UA students in the audience. Ghory added it took her a year and a half to get Jamail to return to Tucson for another lecture, and his crowd of nearly 200 people gave great responses. According to Jody Gibbs , a second program coordinator of Voices of Oppression, Jamail has won two national awards and has been invited to the UA previously for a UofA Bookstore event.

He plans to spend his Thursday golfing, but he said before he goes he will call his grandfather and thank him for his service like he does annually. “These men and women are the bedrock of our country,” Randle said. “I see a bright future when I look at these people.” Ricardo Pereyda, a 28-year-old studying public management and policy, was stationed in Germany from 2003 to 2006 and served in Iraq from 2004 to 2005. “I felt obligated to join the military, it’s a family tradition,” he said in the club lounge room.

move forward at this pace, how long before we can fully transition to the Afghans? Of course, we are not going to fully transition to the Afghans by July 2011,” said one senior administration official. “Right now, we think we can start in 2011 and fully transition sometime in 2014.” Another official said the administration also realized in contacts with Pakistani officials that the Pakistanis had concluded wrongly that July 2011 would mark the beginning of the end of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. That perception, one Pentagon adviser said, has convinced Pakistan’s military — which is key to preventing Taliban sympathizers from infiltrating Afghanistan — to continue to press for a political settlement instead of military action. “This administration now understands that it cannot shift Pakistani approaches to safeguarding its interests in Afghanistan with this date being perceived as a walk-away date,” the adviser said. Last week’s midterm elections also have eased pressure on the Obama administration to begin an early withdrawal. Earlier this year, some Democrats in Congress pressed to cut off funding for Afghanistan operations. With Republicans in control of the House of Representatives beginning in January, however, there will be less push for a drawdown. The incoming House Armed Services chairman, Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., told Reuters last week that he opposed setting the date. On Tuesday, a White House official said the administration might withdraw some troops next July and may hand some communities over to Afghan authorities. But he said a withdrawal from Afghanistan could take “years,” depending on the capability of the Afghan national security forces.

now which of her other offices will be part of UARC. The idea for the new structure came from Hay, Tolbert said. “The framework for what needs to be accomplished has been really kind of defined by the provost and her experience in seeing what the university needs and what the community needs,” Jones said. Although the “general thrust” of it is known, details are still being worked out. Soon, he said, a consulting group will be established, and in the next six to nine months the corporation is expected to be put in place. He referenced Arizona State University’s Arizona Technology Enterprises as an example for what UA’s

vice and outreach, Pereyda said. “We are not just a group of angry messed up guys from war, we want to be reintegrated, it just takes us time to do it,” Pereyda said. He plans to go to the local Veterans Day parade, to show his support for those individuals who have served. It is a time for reflection more than anything, he said.

EDITORIAL A day of remembrance for forgotten vets

here was a time when people would huddle around newsstands to read about foreign conflicts. Enormous crowds of people would flood the streets to see American troops off as they left for “over there,” or to greet them when they returned. At home, citizens rallied around war efforts en masse, giving up luxuries to help soldiers abroad stay safe and comfortable. Now, even with the wonders of our 24/7 “never say die” news cycle, we devote more time to Lady Gaga’s views on French pension reform or whatever permutation of (enter word here)-gate scandal the media is foisting down our throats that particular week. More people care about when Lil Wayne will get out of jail than when our troops will leave Afghanistan or Iraq. Some people paste yellow “Support our Troops” ribbons or “These Colors Don’t Run” bumper stickers to their Ford F-450s, but that’s about the extent of it today. But these are the times we live in. And on this Veterans Day, it is fair to wonder if anyone out there still cares. The very notion of Veterans Day has become an anachronism, serving only to remind us of the glory days when our enemies could be identified by a red coat and powdered wig, a swastika armband or a hammer-and-sickle pin. Gone are those victorious images of Gen. Douglas MacArthur walking the beaches of a recently captured Pacific island, or overjoyed soldiers flashing victory signs. Instead we have former President George W. Bush standing in front of a “Mission Accomplished” banner, a questionable enough action at the time that becomes more cringe-worthy with each passing day, as it becomes clear just how far away from accomplishment we truly are. But it’s who is caught up in these forgotten wars that is the real travesty. They are the tens of thousands of men and women who all took the oath to protect and serve their nation, who all left the comforts of home for the uncertainty and danger of lands thousands of miles away. Should we so casually and callously dismiss their sacrifice because they didn’t deliver the blowout win in the War on Terror that so many expected? Just as the very act and conduct of war itself has changed, so must our expectations. But what should never change is our commitment to honor those who fought for a cause they believed in, and to remember those who fell as a result. Regardless of whether you agree with the wars, or how America has conducted them, men and women from all corners of this nation and from all walks of life have made the impossibly brave choice to fight for what they believe is right. And all politics and jaded sneering aside, those people deserve honor and respect. The decision to leave behind everything you know, uncertain of whether you’ll ever return, to be a part of something greater than yourself, something you cherish, believe in and want to fight for — that’s what Veterans Day is meant to honor. So look around you today. Because contrary to most young people’s view of the world, veterans are not just wizened old men and women who fought in wars beyond the scope of our lifetimes. The holiday also honors the young men and women on our very campus who served, not 30 years ago, but perhaps last year. College campuses are too quick to dismiss Veterans Day as something for old people, an excuse to drink on a Wednesday night or an extra homework-laden day before the reality of finals sinks in. But for once, let Veterans Day mean something. Remember the oft-overlooked veterans among us at the UA, and forget whatever political prejudices you may attach to their enormous sacrifice. Instead, just say thank you. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat opinions board and written by one of its members.

GOP must fall in line or move aside Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat

ith unemployment hovering between 9 and 10 percent and the national debt mounting, the new majority party in the U.S. House of Representatives has not promised to lower the jobless rate or balance the budget. Instead, the Republican Party has vowed not to compromise with Democrats. Sarah Palin issued a warning to newlyelected and established Republicans last week. “The GOP has to understand, that machine has to understand, we are not sending Republicans, common-sense conservatives, to D.C. to sing ‘Kumbaya’ with Obama … we’ve got to remind these folks in the next couple of years, we put you in, we can take you out,” the former half-term Alaskan governor said in an interview with Laura Ingraham. “The time to get along and go along is over,” said Representative Mike Pence of Indiana, chairman of the House Republican Conference. “If I haven’t been clear enough yet, let me say again: no compromise.”

Even Michelle Malkin, the manic rightwing blogger and Fox News contributor, has chimed in, encouraging Democrats to “take their olive branch and shove it.” The Republican Party has made it clear that it has no intentions of working cooperatively, yet Democrats continue to insist they are open to negotiation. President Barack Obama, in his postelection address to the nation, once again extended the olive branch to Republicans, only to have it doused with lighter fluid and set on fire. In the wake of last Tuesday’s election, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader John Boehner both stated explicitly that their primary goal is not to reach bipartisan agreement but to limit Obama’s presidency to one term. Republicans don’t want to hold hands and work together. They want this country’s president to fail so they can win. Last week’s election was not a mandate for bipartisanship and should not be interpreted as such. It was a call for swift and decisive action from our elected officials. The 111th Congress has done little to ameliorate current economic conditions. While Democrats and Republicans have quarreled, unemployment and home foreclosures have ballooned, the federal deficit has skyrocketed, and all the while corporate fat cats on Wall Street have

been raking in huge profits. The legislative gridlock and partisan bickering of the last two years must come to an end. If the Republican Party refuses to compromise, Democrats need to push their agenda through by any means necessary. They still remain in control of both the Senate and the presidency, which gives them the political leverage to ensure their policies prevail. Concessions are now no longer an option. The GOP must either fall in line or move aside. Republicans have made a science out of saying “no,” bringing new meaning to the word “obstructionism.” Their posture of opposition has simply been a means for gaining power; therefore, their obstinate resistance to compromise comes as no surprise. What’s perplexing is a Democratic Party more willing to negotiate with Republicans than it is willing to stand up and fight for the fundamental change it promised to deliver. The party’s naïve policy of bipartisanship has failed. Instead of extending the olive branch, Democrats should start swinging it when the other side refuses to cooperate. — Nyles Kendall is a political science junior.

Expecto … Harry Potter mania! Johnny McKay

Arizona Daily Wildcat

OMGz. It’s almost here. Geeks, nerds, normal people and fundamental Christians are all freaking out in perfect harmony (the last one for different reasons). As I’m sure you know, the next installment of the Harry Potter series is due to come out on Nov. 19 (or sooner if you have a time turner). As one half of the climatic final story in the “Harry Potter” phenomenon, everyone is acutely aware that this is a colossal, remarkably big deal. As a spectacle, it promises to be the PG-13 cinematic equivalent of five beerbonged Four Lokos, which is a perfectly acceptable analogy. There is no doubt that the 19th will bring about lines upon lines of costumed fans, running an amazing spectrum of ages, and will undoubtedly make box office gold. The question, then, with only two of these events left is: Is this the beginning of the end for the “Harry Potter” phenomenon? Obviously, you ignorant boggart, it’s not. “Harry Potter”, the story of a young orphaned boy with magic powers who goes to school a lot (basically), is a cultural phenomenon that has Boston Marathonworthy legs built into it. When former

Twi-hards are asking, “Edward who?” in the near future, you can bet your bottom Knut that the Hogwarts community will still be going strong, shouting out spells drunkenly in public (I’m sure other people do this too), writing awkward fan fiction and pissing off over-zealous religious nuts everywhere. There will be a brief but palpable moment after the second movie; a global hushed silence where everyone will look at each other and exclaim, ”What now?!” However, this will pass quickly as they smile, slap a palm to their forehead and say, “Of course! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando, Florida!” and then start fueling up the car. I also anticipate a two-year transition period, tops, after the last movie before J.K. Rowling makes a publicity power move in some form or another. Whether it be posthumously declaring a character gay or releasing another book in the series, I assure you she will get tired of whatever beyond-rich eccentric activities she is up to and launch herself back into the magical fray. It is true that she did not leave herself a lot of room (SPOILER ALERT) for more books with what is undoubtedly the worst epilogue ever: “Come along now, young Severus Dumbledore Hagrid Dobby Nagini. Oh Hermione, isn’t it superb that we all paired off and grew up?! Now give me some snog, sugar.” But I still think she will find a way to continue the trend.

For the ravenous followers of Harry and company, all it will take is a small spark to reignite their love, and as such, any extraneous literature published by Rowling should be commercial gold. After the seventh “Harry Potter” book was released, Rowling released “Tales of Beedle the Bard,” a collection of wizarding folk tales that existed to the characters in the Harry Potter universe. Originally, only seven copies were released, one of which sold for $4 million at an auction. It was later, after much whining from billions of fans, released to the public to great success, and probably to great chagrin of the winner of the auction. As its success shows, any book penned by Rowling that exists in the canon of the Potterverse will of course be a great success, even at the level of Gilderoy Lockhart’s “Voyages With Vampires.” So draw your scars, don your robes and line up now, but don’t throw away those cardboard wands at the end of the last movie. You’ll need them for the release of “Harry Potter 8: Hagrid’s Special Dream,” and the TV series starring Zac Efron. I’ll be right there with you, and if I’m hurling green bolts of deadly light at you, it only means I’ve been drinking. — Johnny McKay is a media arts senior.

Breast cancer research festival hangs on ASUA vote A second swing at funding for an April festival is up for debate at this week’s ASUA meeting, along with club and holiday clothing drive funding approval. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s Wednesday meeting could approve $2,843.14 in funding toward campus activities. A proposed ASUA arts and culture festival to aid breast cancer research, headed by Sen. Taylor Bilby and known as Tanzbödeli, has a resubmitted funding request of $900 for event advertising. Senators in previous meetings expressed concerns with the funding part of the project without full knowledge of the projected budget. That itemized budget is on tap for the meeting tomorrow preceded by a presentation on the progress of the event, which now

has committee chairs and a date of April 1. A Holiday Clothing Drive funding request, by Sen. Deanna Mariner, of $32.99, also remains up for approval at the meeting. Monday’s $1,910.15 consent agenda is also up for approval, bringing the year’s total funding to more than $41,700, if accepted. The New Abolitionists Club, which advocates against global human trafficking, requested and received full funding for its request. S.M.O.R.E.S, a sophomore philanthropy honorary, requested to pay for club shirts, nabbing half of the money due to ASUA bylaws. The College Republicans at the UA will be attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, the nation’s largest annual gathering of conservative activists, students and policy makers, from Feb. 10 to 12, 2011. The Omega Delta Pre-Optometry Club, who works with Proyecto Visión, a nonprofit eye care group, requested money for shirts and was allocated the half due to bylaws.

The Control Room

Haskell’s favorite place inside the studio: the control room. The control board, rows of flashing lights, rectangular buttons, various faders and knobs for volumes, is really a representation of everything the computer now controls. A flick of the mouse moves buttons up and down their channels, each one representing a single instrument or voice to be layered to make a song. “It has gone from a razor blade and literally scotch tape to what it is now, a digital razorblade and digital waveforms for a physical manifestation of what there was before,” Ross said. Ross’s gray and white streaks of hair through his curled strawberry-blond ponytail and metal-rimmed bifocals denote his more than three decades behind the mixing board. He explains each window on the digital screen and its place in the symphony: the mixer, the sequence editor and the bundles. It is all old hat. Three different computer screens hang over the mixing board, leading to sets of speakers mounted into the walls in rows — woofers and subwoofers meant for different music frequencies play snippets of sound from Ross’s latest project — the new Park Avenue Records artist called the Olive Street Stompers.

“I just feel like a professional musician in there,” said Jose Barnett, manager of the Olive Street Stompers and a UA graduate music student. “It’s got all the tools.”

Barnett is one of many students who took a whirl inside the studio, fulfilling its reputation of allowing real-life experience to students that may facilitate scholarships, CD recordings or entrance into their graduate school of choice. “I didn’t realize how lucky I was until I left Tucson that I had that opportunity,” said Andrew Thompson, a music graduate student at DePaul University who completed his undergraduate music degree at the UA. “(The studio) was huge for my development as a musician (and) it is a huge resource the UA is fortunate to have.”

The fun and experience that gets the students in is only part of the draw. Ross is the thing that gets them to stay. “The best thing that we have is Wiley,” Haskell said. “(He) is able to fight for everything we need to make the changes necessary due to the advancements in technology. That guy is the best.” For Ross, he isn’t what the studio is about. He just loves the service they provide in the little basement off Olive Street. “I’ve had many great experiences. Some of it is great musicianship, but also it is working with interesting people with interesting ideas,” Ross said. “In terms of like what we do here, the whole idea of the studio is to give students, faculty and staff a real experience with a professional studio with low or no cost.” “Accessibility is really important for students and we offer that in spades,” he said. “We offer services but we also offer educational experiences and that’s what we’re all about.”

Killing kingpins adds to mayhem

What Are You Doing Tonight?

McClatchy Tribune MEXICO CITY — Last week’s killing of the top drug lord in the Gulf Cartel marked the second takedown of a major capo in Mexico in a little over two months. And it raised a question: Why doesn’t Mexico kill or capture more of the top narcotics cartel barons destabilizing the country? In law enforcement circles, this is known as the “kingpin strategy,” the aim being to decapitate major narcotics syndicates battling one another and threatening the state. Experts in Mexico and the United States say the strategy also has a real downside. The costs are illustrated by what has happened in Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville in Texas, since the killing last Friday of Gulf Cartel leader Antonio Cardenas Guillen. Rather than calming Matamoros, Cardenas’ death may unleash a power struggle among underlings within the Gulf Cartel, a top Mexican security official has warned. “In the short term, this will certainly create instability inside criminal organizations,” Alejandro Poire, the spokesman for the National Security Council, told the Televisa network. Bomb threats apparently linked to Cardenas’ death forced the closure Monday of hundreds of schools and the evacuation of a hospital in Matamoros. Still, the killing of Cardenas, coming a little more than two months after the capture of Edgar Villarreal Valdez, a drug lord known as “La Barbie,” gave a palpable boost to President Felipe Calderon, whose popularity has sagged over the nearly 30,000 deaths in the drug war since he came to office in late 2006. With the death of the Gulf Cartel leader, “the state is sending the message to these groups and to society that it will use all its firepower to go after them … That’s a valuable message,” said Sigrid Arzt, a former top security adviser to Calderon. Some U.S. experts caution that there will be more bloodshed when drug barons are neutralized. As cartels break apart, counter-drug agents will struggle to track the numerous underlings fighting to emerge as chief. “When we did ‘kingpin’ in Colombia, it atomized the drug trade. It does hurt them. But is it a strategic blow? I don’t think so,” said a former senior U.S. intelligence official speaking on condition of anonymity in a recent interview in Washington because his new employer did not authorize him to speak publicly. A scholar on narcotics trafficking groups, Bruce M. Bagley of the University of Miami, called the kingpin strategy “absolutely a good thing.” He noted killing kingpins could add to the number of targets. “There’s a kind of tradeoff,” he said. “It’s harder to get these guys, and many of them are lower level, so even if you get them you don’t get the distribution network because they are so atomized.”

POLICEBEAT By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Minor in possession â&#x20AC;Ś What else is new?

A man was arrested, cited and released for minor in possession on Friday, at 12:26 a.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to Park Avenue after receiving a reference call of a drunken man knocking on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doors. Working with another UAPD officer, he spoke with the drunken man. They had him identify himself, which he did using a California driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. The man had red watery eyes and a strong odor of intoxicants coming from his breath. He would not admit that he was drinking. The officer cited and released him for minor in possession. A Code of Conduct violation was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.

No boys allowed

An unwanted man was walking around alone in Maricopa Residence Hall, an all-female residence hall where men are not permitted without an escort, until someone reported him to the police on Friday at 3:30 a.m. He was arrested for minor in possession. A UAPD officer went to the third floor and met with the man, a UA student, in the lounge where a female student was accompanying him. Both of them told the officer that he had been left alone roaming the third floor for a while prior to the officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival. Police escorted the man out of the residence hall after the community director advised them that the man had red watery eyes and smelled of alcohol. The student admitted to drinking, but would not say where. He was arrested, cited and released.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fine â&#x20AC;Ś just kidding get me an ambulance

A student was arrested for minor in possession on Friday, at 3:10 a.m. He was cited, released and transported to University Medical Center by ambulance for extreme intoxication. A UAPD officer went to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall and found the student passed out and unresponsive in the fifth floor menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restroom. A resident assistant in the building had made the call to police and escorted the officer to the restroom. There, they found him standing up over a toilet in a position that suggested he was in the process of vomiting. The student told the officer he was sorry that he was wasting his time. He said he was OK and did not need paramedics. The officer could smell intoxicants coming from his mouth as he spoke and he had watery bloodshot eyes. The officer did a few tests on the man, which showed a positive presence of alcohol. The student said he had been drinking a little bit, but refused to answer questions after he was read his Miranda Rights. The officer then cited and released the student to his roommate. Ten minutes later, the RA called police back saying that the student was requesting that paramedics come help because he felt very ill. He told the officer his stomach hurt very much and that he had lied to him earlier. He would not specify what he lied about. Tucson Fire Department arrived and advised that the student needed to be transported to UMC for extreme intoxication. An ambulance transported him. A report was sent to the Dean of Students Office.

Shoplifting student arrested after almost beating Bookstore system

A student was arrested for shoplifting from the UofA Bookstore on Thursday. At 9:10 a.m. on Thursday, an officer went to the store and met with an employee from the bookstoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Loss Prevention team. He gave the officer a DVD copy of surveillance footage from Oct. 4, that shows the man stealing from the store. On Monday, Oct. 4, at 1:41 p.m., a man was seen replacing a sweaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price tag (valued at $54.99) with another sweaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price tag (valued at $26.99). The suspect then bought the sweater paying in cash, which constitutes shoplifting. The bookstoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff was unable to apprehend the subject at the time because they did not notice the incident right away. The UAPD officer collected the DVD copy and submitted it as evidence.

Hoop’s Hill a trim shooter Sophomore forward improving jump shot, body, playing with patience By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Hidden behind the lead of Derrick Williams and lead guard Momo Jones’s quiet scoring evening, it was sophomore forward Solomon Hill who played Sunday’s exhibition game indicatively of his offseason work. Hill’s goal: Trim the body and improve the jump shot — the rest would follow. So far, so good. “I feel like my body was the main focus since trimming down,” Hill said after Sunday’s 11-point win over Augustana College. “It’s really, put my mind and my body on the same page.” Listed at 6-foot-6, 226 pounds, Hill said on media day that his body fat was down to nine percent, far from a year prior, when head coach Sean Miller was just happy that Hill had lost upwards of 30 pounds since joining the team. There’s a new outlook on preparation for Hill in his second season. “It’s not the same aches and pains,” Hill said of weight sessions with the basketball team’s conditioning coach, Chris Rounds. “(Last season) we got off the track and couldn’t even get up.” Now, the Fairfax High School graduate admits he looks forward to the conditioning sessions. And with his body in check, he can focus on playing the game rather than on being tired. Hill’s Sunday box score didn’t stand out but read diversely — seven points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals. Despite three turnovers, Hill said on media day that he’s looking to improve his assist-to-turnover ratio, a statistic Miller watches closely — the forward led the team in assists on a day that saw Arizona’s point guards, Jones and freshman Jordin Mayes, combine for only two assists. “(Being) patient on the court,” said Hill, has been a key trait to the early part of his sophomore year. No longer did he want to be a player that had more turnovers (63) than assists (52) last season.

Those numbers didn’t say that Hill wasn’t smart on the court. Rather, it indicated the game was perhaps a little fast for the thenfreshman. After all, Miller has often praised Hill as being court-savvy, and Sunday’s rotations proved that Miller is a believer in Hill’s improvements and abilities. It was Hill, along with Jones and Williams, who spent the most minutes on the court — 28 to be exact. Hill’s minutes likely won’t drop off if he continues playing smart basketball, nor will it hurt him to continue extending the range on his jump shot. On Sunday, he shot an efficient 3-for-5 from the field while hitting one 3-pointer in two tries. “You could tell (that last season) some guys played me differently, some guys backed off,” said Hill, who filled summer’s free time with shooting reps with graduate assistant Danny Peters. “Same form every time,” Hill said. “Just being confident. “It was focusing on keeping the same jump shot even when I was tired. After a while, you could tell that my jump shot was changing as I got tired, or I wasn’t getting the same lift.”

SOLO SAID IT On playing better interior defense: “It’s about positioning. We played behind them. It was kind of a clear out some of the plays. (We can fix it by) just watching film and not letting them get the position they want.” On fixing the issues posed by Augustana: “I think this week will be the best week for us. I think we should take film serious. More athletic teams, more point guard heavy teams; I think we need to be ready for that.”

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Sophomore Soloman Hill worked tirelessly during the offseason to improve his jump shot as well as his strength and conditioning. His efforts are paying off so far this season, as head coach Sean Miller started Hill against Augustana and played him for 28 minutes.

V-ball competition spawns friendship

Soccer in good hands moving forward

Nicholson, Holloway share bond off court By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT On the surface, Candace Nicholson and Danielle Holloway don’t appear to have a lot in common other than both playing libero on the Arizona volleyball team. Nicholson is a freshman, Holloway a senior. Nicholson is a brunette, while Holloway sports blonde locks. But that’s where the differences end. “We’re really alike, and I’m sure that’s part of the reason we get along so well,” Nicholson said. “We’re really good friends off the court.” The friendship started to evolve when Holloway took Nicholson under her wing after the freshman arrived on campus earlier this year. “I see her as kind of a little sister, I’ve wanted to show her the ropes and make sure she gets the work done and knows what it’s all about, because she has the potential to be so good.” Holloway said. “It’s kind of weird to look up to a freshman, but we have a unique relationship. We really understand each other and what we’re going through.” Nicholson couldn’t be happier to have someone like Holloway help her get to know her way around Division-I volleyball. “Words can’t really explain how helpful (Holloway) has been, I really look up to her as a person,” Nicholson said. “She’s always willing to help me out with any questions I have. Me and Danielle get each other through a lot.” What might be the strangest part of Nicholson and Holloway’s friendship is the intense competition they have been involved in throughout most of the season.

COMMENTARY BY Michael Fitzsimmons sports writer

Looking back at the soccer season for the Arizona Wildcats, there was something missing. Whether it was after a game

or during practice, two words were never uttered from the mouths of players and coaches, words that would have been an easy way to blanket the 2010 season. “Rebuilding year.” Those two words, which act as the go-to phrase for many programs enduring frequent losses, were an implied description of what the year was for first year head coach Lisa Oyen. FITZSIMMONS, page A10

Fallen star

The artist formerly known as T-Wade losing his luster By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Freshman Candance Nicholson, above, has become close friends with senior Danielle Holloway despite the two of them competing for the starting libero position earlier this season. Holloway has taken on a mentor role for the younger Nicholson.

For about the first half of the year, stats were kept every day in practice, which were then used to decide who was starting the games that weekend. “It was definitely a lot more stressful when I knew that stats were counting every day, and that put a lot more pressure on me,” Holloway said. “Now I have the freedom to just want to get better and work hard for the team as a whole.” Holloway’s emergence as the

ultimate team player is something that makes Arizona’s head coach Dave Rubio proud. “I’m sure Danielle, if you asked her, would say that she’s disappointed that she isn’t the libero,” Rubio said. “But what she’s done is that she hasn’t let that disappointment affect who she is and how she is with Candace (Nicholson). She’s really helped Candace with the tranVOLLEYBALL, page A8

Remember Arizona cornerback Trevin Wade? Remember the shutdown cover corner who ranked 32nd nationally in interceptions (5) and 28th in passes defended (14) last season on his way to being named to the 2010 Jim Thorpe Award Watch List? Wade has been a ghost in 2010, and when he has been noticed, it’s for getting burned down the sideline for a touchdown. What’s wrong with the former stud, whom quarterbacks wouldn’t dare throw toward in 2009? “You know, I don’t know, you’d have to ask Trevin that,” said co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach Greg Brown. “I’d prefer not to make any comments on that. I’ll ask you to ask him. I don’t know.” Arizona’s other starting cornerback and Wade’s close friend, Robert Golden, couldn’t quite put his finger on Wade’s sub-par season either.

“I can’t really tell,” he said. “I know Trevin’s a hard worker and I know he’s really trying to get after it and bounce back. Everyone has their struggles.” But few have fallen from grace like Wade. He’s gone from one of the Pacific 10 Conference’s most feared corners and a likely NFL prospect, to a liability on the field. Through eight games, Wade has 30 tackles — 1.5 for a loss — two pass break-ups and an interception returned 85 yards for a score, but even the interception was more of the Iowa receiver dropping the ball than Wade making a good play. In an effort to find an answer, Wade said he’s trying too hard to get back to superstar level. “Maybe I’m trying to make a comeback too fast,” he said. “I just need to slow it down and just play football and let it come to me instead of trying to grab it.” Wade doesn’t have much time WADE, page A10

Third line making a mark for the Icecats

Sullivan, Watters, Wadhams and Babyak round out Icecats offense By Daniel Gaona ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Before the season started, Icecats coach Leo Golembiewski preached how important it is to have three lines that can score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make a mark with this club, we have to have three lines that can score,â&#x20AC;? Golembiewski said. Nine games into the season, the third line has produced six goals to make a small, but significant impact. The first line combination has scored 18 goals and the second has added 21. Sophmore Sean Sullivan centers the third line while freshman Eric Watters, Jeffrey Wadhams and sophomore Mike Babyak rotate as the wings. Sullivan was originally a left wing, but moved to center and Watters took over on the left side. Golembiewski feels that this is a good place for him to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as, perhaps, as quick as some of the forwards, but I think he lends us the credible idea of having a third line that can score,â&#x20AC;? Golembiewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He likes to get in the corner and he has a good shot from that 45 degree angle. I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more fit as a left wing and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there.â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said the same about his teammate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finding the back of the net, he hits hard and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely putting the puck away,â&#x20AC;? he added. Watters has scored a goal in each of the last three games. Freshman Andrew Murmes, who plays on the second line, is third overall with 16 points on six goals and 10 assists. Watters hopes he can continue the threegame scoring streak against Colorado State this weekend and beyond that series. He also said it was great scoring a goal in both wins against Weber State this past weekend.

Rodney Haas/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

Sophomore Mike Babyak and the rest of the third line have given the Icecats a lift this season. The wing has led the third line to six goals so far.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a pretty good experience for the first home game,â&#x20AC;? Watters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just speechless. Once I saw it go in the back of the net, I just threw my hands up and was like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe this happened in the first home weekend.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Wadhams and Babyak have each scored a goal playing on the third line. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also combined for three assists. Sullivan hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored yet, but has one assist. Watters and Sullivan both think that with continued practice and hard work

they can be just as strong as the other two lines. Golembiewski agrees that they might be the right combination to do the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think, between Watters, Wadhams, Sullivan and Babyak, we have a third line that obviously has contributed already to the theory, that if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to compete for nationals, that you have to have three lines that can put the puck in the net,â&#x20AC;?

WADE continued from page A7

Corner continues to struggle

Fitzsimmons

Oyen installed winning attitude despite losses continued from page A7

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Cornerback Trevin Wade, 24, entered the 2010 season with endless promise and preseason awards, but the results have yet to match the hype. The junior may be in jeopardy of losing his position to freshman Shaquille Richardson.

to slow it down, however, as his starting job is in jeopardy. Freshman cornerback Shaquille Richardson, who’s played well in spot duty and collected two interceptions, is waiting in the wings. Richardson, not Wade, might start at corner against USC this Saturday. Brown said that guys who have a history of playing well usually ”pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.” But he also hinted that Richardson is as close as ever to a starting gig for the Wildcats. “That’s still to be determined,”

Brown said. “We’re going to practice this week but Shaquille certainly is going to get a long, heavy look at the starting job.” At this point last year, nobody would have guessed Wade would be on the verge of getting benched, including Brown. “He had a track record in the past of intercepting a lot of balls,” Brown said. “He’s a guy who’s got great vision and anticipation, gets a jump on the ball. He made a lot of plays like that in the last two years.” But 2010 has been a completely different story. Wade did struggle

with a thigh injury that hampered him against Iowa and kept him out against Washington State, but in total he’s been sub-par and Richardson certainly has not. “It’s also a case of Shaquille has done well when he’s been in,” Brown said. “He competes. He’s got ability, he’s young. Our defense, we’re still evolving. Things usually don’t stay static week to week.” Whether or not Wade starts against USC is the immediate question, but the real question is whether or not the former shutdown corner will ever regain form.

Was it a rebuilding year? Yes, without a doubt. But “rebuilding year” was never used as a crutch for poor play or as an explanation for a lopsided loss. So what does it mean that Oyen and her players never labeled it as such? First, it sheds light on Oyen’s expectations for the program. She wanted to win this year, and didn’t subscribe to the notion that success shouldn’t be expected after the Wildcats waded through what many outside the program thought would be a rough 2010 season. “You come to Arizona to play against the best. The only way you become the best is to beat the best,” Oyen said after a loss this year. Not calling it a “rebuilding year” exhibits confidence that the Wildcats didn’t consider this a freebie — even though, with 12 freshmen and a new coach in the toughest conference in college soccer, they could have. The Wildcats also could have made excuses when junior star Renae Cuellar was lost for the season just six games in, but again, they didn’t. Their 5-13-2 record won’t radiate the same confidence to fans and outsiders that Oyen and players have in the future of the program. At times this year — after

rough losses against Ohio State and Southern California — there were grumblings and remarks from some Wildcat fans that made it clear that wins are ultimately more important than spoken self-assurance. Those are reasonable criticisms from fans who have suffered years of seeing on and off the field issues that have landed the Wildcats in the bottom of the Pacific 10 Conference. But Oyen inherited a program that was a rocking boat, and restored some stability that shouldn’t go unnoticed in light of a disappointing final record. While Arizona wouldn’t call it a rebuilding year, its 2010 season should be looked at through that lens. The Wildcats finished with one more win than a season ago, which is a concrete step in the right direction. Expectations will be higher in 2011 as the new era of Arizona soccer will have a full year under its belt, but if one thing was made certain by talking to players this season, they are ready for it. “Obviously there’s a lot of improving to do,” said departing senior Macke Mutz. “This season we saw glimpses of it. With a new coach and a brand new team with a bunch of freshmen, we have a bright future.”

Theatre, Media Arts ‘Fuse’ By Miranda Butler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

This year, the UA School of Theatre Arts joined forces with the School of Media Arts and the School of Theatre, Film and Television was born. And what do you do on birthdays? You

celebrate, of course. On Friday, the College of Fine Arts is hosting an event called Fusion in hopes of initiating their new school in style. Fusion is a collaborative, one-night-only show. Bruce Brockman, the director of the School of Theater, Film and Television, explains that the event

“will be filled with musical theater performances (as well as) student film work, and we also have some really exciting special guests coming. It’s a great program, and we hope people will take advantage of it.” FUSION, page B6

Honors Players perform

Acting troupe’s annual play a throwback to high school By Johanna Willett ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Last weekend, UA got a dose of high school drama in the Honors Players’ presentation of Steven Levenson’s play, “Seven Minutes in Heaven.” The acting troupe, comprised entirely of honors students, has been producing full-length plays since 1986. This fall’s production of “Seven Minutes in Heaven” whisked the audience of parents and UA students back in time to 1995. At a party, the six characters cope with relationships, family issues, alcohol, sex and a myriad of other issues 15-year-olds should not be dealing with. “Everything is so emotionpacked during those years,” said Corey Dane, director and Arizona Theatre Company manager. “We worked on translating that confusion into the play.” Punctuated with monologues, mockery, and witty dialogue, the Honors Players make it easy to relive all of the feelings that accompany high school. Each of the characters occupies a stereotype. There’s the nerdy kid and the jock, the mean girl and the girl who’s just trying to fit in. Together, they wrestle with friendship, the truth and the reality that everything comes to an end. “I got to pick people who really sparked an interest in me,” Dane said. “Then we found a play with parts that suited each individual.” For example, Hunter, played by philosophy freshman Maxon Wingert, gave a monologue about his morning routine. Now, Wingert starts each day the same way his character does, according to Dane. “Most of the Honors Players are freshmen trying to acclimate to university life,” Dane said. Diana Andres, the assistant director, is a freshman studying

molecular and cellular biology and physiology. Initially, she considered dropping out of Honors Players. “I did a lot of stage and tech stuff in high school, but when I read the script, I didn’t know if I wanted to do this,” Andres said. “At the end, I thought it was really amazing.” Wingert hadn’t planned on participating either. “On the day of the audition, I saw the poster,” Wingert said. “I

was one of our biggest challenges,” Andres said. Challenges aside, the cast successfully delivered an hour in high school — or “Seven Minutes in Heaven.” “We didn’t expect to fill up all the seats,” Andres said. “We even made some money, which is great considering it was free.” Like the spin-the-bottle scene, where each spin of the bottle triggered a different, scripted end to the scene, “Seven Minutes

just decided to do it.” In addition to a small production team, the Honors Players had to wrestle with a restrictive set. “It was difficult to create a new world in such a tiny space,” Wingert said. “It only just came together in the last week.” The Honors Players transformed the Slonaker House living room into a warm basement, complete with a Beatles’ poster and stacks of board games. One scene even required a toilet. “Finding that toilet for a prop

in Heaven” is quirky and unpredictable — just like our teenage years. “It’s interesting listening to what people say on the way out,” said Dane. “They’re questioning and confused, and it’s a bit like high school.” The Honors Players nailed it. “Seven Minutes in Heaven” is a lot like high school — endearingly sweet and comically awkward. And while it’s nice to visit for an evening, thank goodness high school is over.

The Loft Cinema has hosted 12-hour Scream-o-Ramas and 48-hour film shootouts , but tomorrow marks a first for Tucson’s famous indie theater. The first annual Loft Film Fest, an eight-day marathon of 21 special screenings that span nations and decades, kicks off with a 7 p.m. premiere that represents the culmination of over a year of planning . For Jeff Yanc, The Loft’s program director of five years , this festival has been a long-time coming. “I’ve wanted to do a festival for a long time. This year all the forces came together,” he said. One of the forces that The Loft was missing in the past was the guidance and networking skills of a festival veteran. About a year ago, The Loft filled the void with Mike Plante , a former Tucsonan and current nation-trotting programmer who helped secure films and guest presenters for festivals like Sundance and CineVegas . With Plante on board, The Loft has spent the past year seeking out unusual films and filmmakers to fill out a week’s worth of festival programming. They pulled films from Sundance and Telluride , many of which lacked distribution deals and could only be shown in a festival setting. They assembled tributes to famous Tucsonans like Lee Marvin . They even tracked down the makers of “Heavy Metal Parking Lot,” a favorite at The Loft’s First Friday Shorts . For Yanc, the eclectic program “encompasses all aspects of films already at The Loft.” Independent, foreign, cult classics and restored film legends are all represented, and bolstered by a cast of actors and filmmakers including Bobcat Goldthwait (“The Man Show,” “World’s Greatest Dad”) and Chris Eyre (“Smoke Signals”). At $200 for non-members, admission to the whole fest isn’t for the average student. Individual screenings are priced at $10, and seats are going fast. For the week of the festival only, The Loft obtained a hard liquor license and tequila sponsor. For some, that might be enough of a draw. Following are a few events worth checking out. For tickets and the festival’s complete schedule, visit loftfilmfest.com. “Heavy Metal Parking Lot” Featuring filmmakers Jeff Krulik and John Heyn Saturday, Nov. 13, 10:30 p.m. It’s an hour before showtime, and the air is crisp with booze and bong smoke.

Stand tall in the back of your pickup truck and survey the moving mosaic of leopard-print leotards and enough black T-shirts to outfit a Hot Topic franchise. It’s 1986, and you are ready to rock.

As the U.S. Peace Corps gets ready to celebrate 50 years of international service, the UA Peace Corps Fellows continue to promote the power of the individual with the film “One Peace at a Time.” This documentary created by Turk Pipkin — a writer, actor, and activist — takes viewers around the world to explore how normal people can help provide basic rights for children everywhere. With thoughts from several Nobel Peace Prize winners and music by Jack Johnson, Bob Dylan and others, the film strives to accomplish the Third Goal of the Peace Corps and “bring home the lessons learned while serving abroad as Peace Corps Volunteers.” Richard Mora, Jr., the president of the UA Peace Corps Fellows, hopes the film will cause people to look at their own communities and find areas to serve. “I hope people take home the message that each person can make a difference in their community once they find their passion,” Mora said. “Find that one issue you care about.” The UA Peace Corps Fellows actively serve the Tucson Community and the UA. “On Wednesday, we are going to participate in the Study Abroad Fair,” Mora said. “We have also worked

With 61 current members completing two-year internships in the community, the Peace Corps Fellows at the UA is the second largest in the nation. “Part of our work is to educate the community about pertinent issues in the world and inspire people to action,” said Mora of the film. “Films, like ‘One Peace at a Time’ and others we’ve brought to campus, help us to achieve the Peace Corps’ Third Goal.” “One Peace at a Time” will play at Gallagher Theatre at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 16. Although admission is $5 for students and $8 for the public, the UA Peace Corps Fellows use all of the proceeds to further their service to local communities. One individual really can change the world, and the Peace Corps Fellows wants to show you how.

indulgences PIE of the WEEK By Ali Freedman Arizona Daily Wildcat It’s that time of year again: the season for food, family and, of course, pie. As Thanksgiving approaches, check Wildlife for a pie a week to help you impress your friends and family. This week, we’ll start off with something that’s simple but packs a punch of flavor: a traditional apple pie made with Arizona’s own Wilcox apples. These apples can be purchased at any Whole Foods location or at Tucson’s farmer markets. Pie crust is simple to make with a little care. This recipe will make two 9-inch pie crusts: the top and bottom crusts for your apple pie. The key is making sure that your butter and water are very cold. Mix together flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Add in chopped up butter and use fingers to start mixing it into dry ingredients. Mush it all together until it is about

Wilcox Apple Pie

the consistency of dry oatmeal. Begin to add in your water. Do it only a little bit at a time until the dough is totally pulled together, but not wet or sticky. Be careful not to overwork your dough. Once it has come together, make a disk and wrap your dough in plastic wrap. Put in into the refrigerator for at least an hour. Once your crust is in the fridge you’ll pull together your filling. Peel your apples and slice them into thin pieces. In a large bowl, mix your apples along with your dry ingredients together and set aside. Take a whiff of the apples; they’ll smell amazing. Once your filling has been prepared, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Coat your rolling pin and counter or cutting board with flour. Roll dough until it’s about as thick as a quarter — not too thin, because you need to transfer it to your baking dish. You can use a glass dish, ceramic

dish or even a disposable pie pan. Make sure that the dough is rolled out large enough so that when it’s placed in the pie pan there will be some overhang. This will be about a 12-inch diameter. For easy transfer, roll your dough over a rolling pin and then unroll it onto your dish. Cut off the overhang and press the edges so they look nice. You can simply use a fork to create a nice edge with the prongs. Roll out extra dough and cut out into shapes — I like leaves, given the season. Fill your crust with the apple filling and place the cutouts on top on your pie. Layer so that you’ve got leaves covering the entire top of the pie. Let the leaves overlap but leave some tiny gaps — this will let steam escape. Place your pie onto a baking sheet to catch any

overflow, and bake about 50 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, keep an eye on your pie. If your crust starts to get too brown or looks ready too early, place a loose

piece of foil over the top for the remaining time. Allow your pie to cool and enjoy. Try some fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream as an accompaniment.

What you’ll need Pie dough: 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, chopped into small pieces Approx. 6 tablespoons very cold water. Pie filling: 4 or 5 Wilcox apples, peeled and sliced thinly 1/4 cup of flour 3/4 cup of sugar 1 tablespoon of cinnamon 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg (fresh is best) A pinch of ground cloves — use this sparingly

Tucson’s top chefs vie for tallest toque By Graham Thompson Arizona Daily Wildcat There was a flurry of activity on Saturday at the Art Institute of Tucson, where the American Culinary Federation hosted the Chef of the Year Culinary Competition. Nine executive chefs from various restaurants in Tucson competed for the local title, which, according to competition host Todd Eanes “is a resume builder” for local chefs looking to gain recognition. Each chef had three hours to prepare, cook and plate a threecourse meal. In order to qualify for the competition, the contestants had to hold the equivalent of a sous chef title or higher in a full-service dining operation and be current members of the American Culinary Federation. After selecting

ingredients from a table groaning under the weight of fresh produce, spices, herbs, oils and vinegars, the contestants created a menu and presented it to judges Walter Leible, Garry Waldie, Juan Martinez and Al Zeman. They were not allowed to modify their choices, and as an added challenge, a mystery ingredient had to be included in their menu. Each of the nine contestants had an assistant chosen from the best culinary students at the Art Institute of Tucson. Some 10 percent of the students attending the Art Institute are former UA students. Jason Jonilonis of Sol Casinos began at 8 a.m., and at 8:30 a.m. Ken Harvey of Loews Ventana Canyon Resort began to prepare his three-course meal. It went until noon when final contestant Ryan Clark of Lodge on the Desert began his assembly. This allowed

insist they have banded together in support of a greater cause, such as “Beards for Breast Cancer.” There is even an organization called Movember, a group that grows mustaches during the month of November in order to raise money for prostate cancer research. Since 2004, the organization has raised over $42 million dollars. There are even 14 definitions for “No Shave November” on Urban Dictionary. And last, but certainly not least is the Swedish indiepop band, No Shave November. It seems as if there isn’t a particular rhyme or reason behind No Shave November, but rather it comes down to the individual. After seeing a number of Facebook status updates either strongly for or against No

Shave November, it seemed necessary to hit campus and see what people thought about the trend on a local level. Wildlife took to the UA Mall on Monday — the eighth official day of beard-growing — with a sign that read, “Talk to Us About No Shave November. Love It? Hate It? We Want to Know!” Passersby smiled, grimaced and made just about every facial expression in between. One of the first people to stop by was Dan Casey, a sophomore majoring in physiology and business. He and some of his friends have banded together and formed a friendly competition around No Shave November. “I’m doing it with five of my friends, and we are going to see who has the longest and thickest beard at the end of the month,” Casey said.

sidelines, though. No Shave November, which is traditionally considered a male-dominated practice, reportedly has a feminine side. There have been rumors that some women choose to abstain from shaving their legs for No Shave November, a convention that Megan Roxbury, a sophomore majoring in English, finds odd. “Is that a new twist? It seems pretty raunchy,” she said. “If you’re going to do that, you should probably wear pants all month.” Beyond significant others and friends, there are also parents to consider. With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, mothers all over the country are going to open their doors to their darling sons who went away to college, returning as scruffy mountain men. When economics junior Kunal Mangal grew out his facial hair last year, his mother’s response was, “What happened to your face?” Before he was able to answer, she sent him upstairs to shave. This year he’s taking a smoother approach to November. “It’s itchy and less glorious than it sounds,” Mangal said. “It gets to the point where it’s not even about length, it’s about intensity.” Mangal isn’t the only one abstaining from No Shave November. Dillon Eddie, an undeclared freshman, had never even heard of No Shave November, although he thinks it’s silly. “I’m more of a clean-cut kind of guy,” Eddie said, adding that he probably needed to shave his two-day stubble. Furthermore, Eddie said none of his friends were growing facial hair, or any hair for that matter, for No Shave November. There seems to be a consensus that No Shave November is a friendly, male-oriented pastime. However, most would like to see No

German Expressionism, American violence close Fest excerpts from sequels “Neil Diamond Parking Lot” and “Harry Potter Parking Lot.” You may not have been around for the ’80s, but by God, dude, you’ll wish you had been.

The Loft celebrates with the extended version of Samuel Fuller ’s WWII classic, “The Big Red One,” featuring Marvin in what many consider to be his greatest role, the Sergeant. Marvin’s wife Pamela and co-star Robert Carradine (“Revenge of the Nerds” I, II and III) will be in attendance for a Q&A after the film.

“Metropolis” (2010 restoration) Sunday, Nov. 14, 11:30 a.m. Fritz Lang’s silent-era classic is standard fare for media arts and German studies students, but it is also a stylized sci-fi powerhouse way ahead of its time. Padded with new footage discovered in a Buenos Aires film library in 2008, the print is “the most complete version of the film since its 1927 premiere,” according to Yanc. At 147 minutes, this restoration will immerse you in a world of robot vixens and industrial tyranny, whether you like it or not. “The Big Red One” Featuring Robert Carradine and Pamela Marvin Thursday, Nov. 18, 7 p.m.

“Straight to Hell Returns” Featuring director Alex Cox Saturday, Nov. 13, 7:30 p.m.

The festival closes with a tribute to the late Lee Marvin, a Hollywood heavy-hitter and one-time Tucsonan.

A decade before “From Dusk Till Dawn,” another gore-filled, star-powered spaghetti western spoof ruled the badlands. Alex Cox’s “Straight to Hell” follows four bank robbers who try to stash their score in a not-so-deserted desert town and all the sex, violence and musical interludes that follow. Cox’s 1986 original has been revamped for a less squeamish generation, featuring plenty of “added violence and cruelty,” Yanc promises. If that doesn’t pique your prurient interests,

the cast might. Joe Strummer, Dennis Hopper, Elvis Costello, Jim Jarmusch, The Pogues and Courtney Love all make the trip to hell and back growth.

h, autumn. The time of year when the leaves start changing, pumpkin spice candles are burning and an abundance of facial hair is growing. Wait … what was that last part? You heard right — November is here, and that means “No Shave November” is back once again. This trend has been gaining momentum over the years, especially with the help of social networking groups and blogs endorsing this trend. In fact, the Facebook group “No Shave November” has over 18,000 fans. So why have so many guys abandoned shaving for an entire month? The origin of No Shave November is debatable. Some say it’s just a testosterone competition between men, while others

This type of fraternal bonding seems to be a strong motivation for many participants. Norman Clark, a mechanical engineering and mathematics freshman, is growing out his scruff with six other guys. “It started out as a contest with just one of my friends who doesn’t like growing his hair because it’s patchy, so I said, ‘No big deal. I’ll grow it out with you,’” Clark said. Before he knew it, Clark had a whole group of guys eager to jump on the No Shave November bandwagon. The male bonding of No Shave November has extended beyond immediate circles of friends. In fact, Josh Compton, mathematics junior and Resident assistant at the ArizonaSonora Residence Hall, said dozens of residents are growing out their facial hair. There’s even a bulletin about No Shave November in the hall. Compton says he lacks in the facial hair department, so he’s decided to participate in No Shave November by growing his hair downstairs. “My girlfriend doesn’t like it too much, but it’s No Shave November nonetheless,” Compton said. He said he thinks a lot of guys do it to fit in with other guys. Although he is taking an unconventional approach to NSN, Compton respects everyone who is capable of growing a full, lush beard. But do female significant others support their partners’ hairy endeavors? Katie Cunningham, a computer science junior said her boyfriend participated last year and she didn’t mind it at all. “I like guys with beards. I’m all for it,” Cunningham said. Women aren’t just relegated to the

‘2 Across’ a charming train ride to romance

Courts shouldn’t decide on violence

By Kristina Remy Arizona Daily Wildcat

During the month of November, The Invisible Theatre is presenting “2 Across,” a romantic comedy full of puns and charming adult flirtation. Although this particular theatre seems to be a popular venue for a senior crowd, “2 Across” was enjoyable and well-executed. It isn’t just for your Grandmother, it has a wide appeal for anyone looking for a dose of lighthearted live theater. “2 Across” follows two strangers on their 84-minute ride on a San Francisco BART car. Psychologist Janet (Maedell Dixon) is precise, plays by the rules and is taken aback by fellow passenger Josh (David Alexander Johnston) an unemployed man who is the epitome of an adult Peter Pan. This twoperson cast managed to keep the audience’s attention throughout the performance by revealing their strong personalities in a battle of wits over the New York Times crossword. Conversation surrounding the puzzle becomes the catalyst for an unexpected romance. The theater itself is an interesting one. Nestled in a residential setting on First Avenue and Drachman Street, the theatre is small and full of neighborhood character. The seating capacity is capped at 78 attendees, creating a very quaint and intimate setting. The rows of red seats are thankfully cushioned, as this performance does not have an intermission. Why? Well, the running time of the play follows the exact route of the BART rail system, complete with announcements of the various stops along the way. The simple set and costumes are realistic, creating a believable setting. The movement of the characters around the rail car is very smart — their swaying mo-

tions and constant grip on the isle seat or pole makes the audience believe they are actually traveling. However, the attitudes and positions of the characters shift toward the end of the play in a way that seems too abrupt. The majority of the play focuses on developing very distinct personalities, only to debunk them at a moments notice. Overall the play is worth seeing and would be a great excuse for an outing with Grandma. The crossword puzzle metaphor is executed in dynamic way that’s

easy to follow, as opposed to a cheesy mishap. Just be prepared for issues relevant to an older audience, such as divorce, watching children become adults and dating at an older age. The play was written by Jerry Mayer and directed by Gail Fitzhugh. “2 Across” is a continuation of The Invisible Theatre’s 40th anniversary season. The Invisible Theatre is a non-profit organization that showcases local professional talent and guest artists. For more information visit the website at invisibletheatre.com or call 882-9721.

Casa Libre hosts reading of MFA works in progress By Maitri Mehta Arizona Daily Wildcat Typically on Friday and Saturday nights, Fourth Avenue is buzzing with college kids rambling in and out of bars and restaurants. This well-known nightlife lives in close quarters with an event of a different species altogether. Two or three evenings a month, Casa Libre en la Solana hosts the UA’s Works-inProgress Reading Series, an entirely autonomous, student-run event. The WIP is a reading performed by three students from the UA’s Master of Fine Arts program to showcase their original works of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Joel Smith, one of the 201011 coordinators of WIP, is proud of Casa Libre and WIP’s unique offering. “It’s a wonderful counterpoint. We’re right across the street from Maloney’s, but it’s a very different cultural ecosystem,” Smith said. The venue for the graduate students’ reading could not be more fitting. Casa Libre en la Solana is a non-profit organization for writers and artists, working to provide a haven for the intricate community of artists in Tucson. Founded by Kristen Nelson and Ann Fine, Casa Libre is a sprawling commune for writers and artists to meditate on their craft and share with their contemporaries. The WIP came to Casa Libre from Maggie Golston’s former Biblio bookstore on Congress nearly 10 years ago. Smith couldn’t be happier about Casa Libre’s involvement.

t has always been the responsibility of adults to shield children from that which might not be appropriate for them, but in the age of accessible technology it has become increasingly difficult. So then, what happens when one of the most popular forms of technology among children — video games — raises questions about violence? You get a case in the United States Supreme Court. More specifically, you get Entertainment Merchants Association v. Schwarzenegger. The case deals with whether it should be illegal to sell violent video games to children, but it’s not as simple as it sounds. It highlights First Amendment rights and how to determine what makes a video game “unacceptably” violent. The hearing took place on Nov. 2, with Supreme Court Justices grilling both California Deputy Attorney General Zackery Morazzini, the attorney arguing against video games, and Paul Smith, who is representing the video game industry’s perspective. The issue with making it illegal to sell video games to children seems hardly debatable. But the reality is that such a ruling would impinge on developers’ First Amendment rights, forcing them to self-censor and speculate whether their games might provoke a federal case. From the looks of everything, it seems pretty clear as to what the big deal is: California is concerned for the psyches of children — a completely noble and understandable aim — and worries that playing violent video games will lead them down some twisted path of degeneracy. The video game industry, on

the other hand, insists that video games are no more damaging than any other form of violent media and that they deserve full protection from the First Amendment, just like any other art form. This battle has been raging for over a decade, but there has remained one thing stopping states like California from attacking video games. Plain and simple, lawyers who don’t play video games are trying to talk about them. And not just talk, but make hugely important decisions about their future. Either way, it’s clear in the transcript of the hearing that not only does Morazzini have limited understanding of the real level of violence in video games, but the justices are also not experts. That’s to be expected to some degree, but when your argument is based off of a hypothetical game in which you can torture babies and “Postal 2,” a 1997 game that was truly horrid, you don’t have much. To be frank, while you can do some pretty twisted things in a small handful of games, it doesn’t come close to infanticide. Additionally, “Postal 2,” which seems to be the only name California ever uses in its cases against video games, is nothing like any game made today. Since video games have become a respected medium of art and entertainment, people have formed standards. Developers, by and large, aren’t just in it for the shock value anymore. The Supreme Court now has the power to change video games forever with one ruling. Here’s hoping they see that video games should be protected by the First Amendment. — Jason Krell is a creative writing sophomore

Casa Libre en la Solana, which hosts the UA MFA program’s Works-in-Progress (WIP) reading series, has its home at 228 N. Fourth Avenue — across the street from Maloney’s Tavern.

“The venue is ideal,” Smith said. “We showcase the space, and bring people in who wouldn’t normally come to Casa Libre. It’s a sprawling ramshackle artists commune, and they are very generous. It’s a great reciprocal relationship.” Smith said the selection process for WIP is very minimal and indiscriminate — students who are interested in reading their work sign up on a voluntary basis. Smith attended two readings before he read his own work at a WIP event. “We try and balance it out between genres,” Smith said. “We like to make sure that people’s personalities and aesthetics are in

harmony with each other during the reading.” All of the three readers at each WIP are introduced by someone of their choosing — another student, a friend, a romantic partner, a family member. Sometimes the introductions are comedic, sometimes they are sentimental, but the readers are always introduced by someone important to them, just as their writing is integral to their lives. The WIP readings provide a welcoming audience for MFA students to present their best work — work they have labored long over, work that is yet unfinished, work that deserves to be heard.

All Souls Procession unites Tucsonans

Photos courtesy of Gordon Bates

By Graham Thompson Arizona Daily Wildcat The 21st annual All Souls Procession took place on Sunday. It was a collective gathering of more than 20,000 Tucsonans who painted their faces, created floats and played music to pay homage to the dead, whether they peacefully passed or met untimely deaths. A grand finale in which live haunting music by Ensphere played against backdrops of kaleidoscopic images followed the procession. A cauldron filled with notes, pictures and beloved things was lit on fire and sent into the heavens. But it was so much more than that. “To me, this is Tucson in all its best,” said Tucsonan Stephanie Duisberg. “Here the spirit of Día de Los Muertos in the cross-cultural procession captures its essence while instilling it with the vision, needs and souls of 21st century Tucsonans and their vision of death and loss. It is truly spectacular.” This year, the floats included a dark, drooping pelican; a gathering of people who attached strings to their limbs, giving them the appearance of marionettes; flowing gowns and faces decoratively painted to look

like skulls along with colorful paper flowers; and huge papier mâché structures resembling faces. A crane lifted the cauldron onto a platform while dancers performed beneath it. It also lifted a white jellyfish-like structure into the air over the cauldron as acrobats and drum players were suspended onto the platform. “The only place I’ve seen (this) is Cirque du Soleil,” an onlooker said. The strongest acrobat attached herself to a long piece of fabric and dangled from it, spinning high above the crowd. Norbert Lawson, the owner of Hook Crane, was its operator Sunday night. “We have done this five years in a row. It is exciting to help the performers do their job. It is interesting to help create an exciting performance.” Sunday was Tucson at its finest, filled with “crazy masks and sheer numbers,” according to aerospace engineering senior Colin Miller. Filled to the brim with the finest examples of creativity and motion, the All Souls Procession is a uniquely Tucson event. “They could have found a corporate sponsor,” said Duisberg. “But it is to their credit that they refused what would have been the subjugation of community by corporate figureheads.” The cathartic effect that such deep emotional expression can have was played out to the fullest on Sunday. And as is true of so many Tucson traditions, everyone present — whether in body or soul — was reminded of the power Tucson’s artistic community has when coming together.
