UA soakin’ up the sun By Carly Kennedy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The planning, design and construction groups at the UA say they are investing themselves whole-heartedly into the “green” movement, with four solar projects still on the way. As the first phase of the solar movement, the Second Street Parking Garage has been decked out in photovoltaic solar panels since early August, and the panels should be up and running within the next few weeks. Ralph Banks, assistant director of engineering, planning, design and construction for the UA, said the solar panels atop the parking structure will generate about 210 kilowatts per day, which is equivalent to powering forty averaged-sized homes.

The power will be used to support functions within the structure, like powering the elevators, and whatever is not used will be filtered into the university’s grid, he said. With the help of APS Energy Services, the UA will begin a multiple phase effort to move toward solar power. Starting with the Second Street Parking Garage, engineers will now look toward installing photovoltaic solar panels on McClelland Hall, McClelland Park, and eventually the Student Recreation Center and Hillenbrand Aquatic Center. “I love that the UA is being proactive about utilizing solar energy,”said Deven McMorrow, a physiology junior. “We have plenty of sun here in Arizona, so it makes sense to have solar energy power most of our daily electricity use.”

Project leaders predict that the initial phase of the solar project will produce about 500 kilowatts in total — which is a relatively small portion of the university’s overall electricity bill. “The University consumes about 26 megawatts of electricity in the middle of the summer,” said Banks.“But, we do not know how big this could become, which is the fun part.” Project leaders say they are looking at the solar movement from a research aspect as well as conservation. “Because we are a research university, we hope to monitor this and receive a lot of research knowledge,” said Banks. “I’m not sure how many universities are planning on doing projects similar to ours, but we are the solar capital of the U.S. The next steps are really exciting.”

Expert reveals financial guide By Michelle Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The New York Times economic columnist Joe Nocera spoke on Monday afternoon about three lessons that can be learned from the recent financial crisis. The Ares Auditorium, in the James E. Rogers College of Law, was packed with more than 120 people coming to listen to Nocera’s expertise. Nocera began by answering the question on everyone’s mind — can the financial crisis happen again? “Yes it can happen again and it will happen again, I can guarantee it,” Nocera said. And anyone who claims it can be avoided “you are authorized to roll your eyes at.”

Lesson 1:

Figure it out yourself.

The UA Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter is hosting an event tonight atop the mountain where audience members can view the Leonid Meteor Shower. The meteor shower is happening because the Earth is passing through the debris of a past comet. Debris and dust from the comet vaporizes in the Earth’s atmosphere and creates the illusion of “shooting stars.”

By Michelle Cohen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Carl Hergenrother is a senior research specialist in the UA lunar and planetary laboratory. He received his undergraduate degree in atmospheric sciences from the UA in 1997 and has discovered four comets and thousands of asteroids throughout his career. The Daily Wildcat discussed this week’s Leonid meteor shower with Hergenrother. The meteor shower will take place Tuesday and Wednesday morning of this week when the Earth passes through 500 year old dust particles that were left by the

comet Tempel-Tuttle. The UA Steward Observatory is hosting a guided program for the shower at the Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter this evening. Can you tell me about the meteor shower going on the next couple of nights? The meteor shower is called “Leonids.” It’s small dust particles that are released by a particular comet — in this case a comet called Tempel-Tuttle. That’s the comet name and the comet comes around every 33 years and every time it comes close to the sun it heats

up and the ice that’s on the comet sublimates, then turns to gas and kind of blows off the surface of the comet kind of like a geyser — just like Old Faithful in Yellowstone — and as the ice does that, it carries dust particles. So every time the comet comes around every 33 years, it leaves behind this trail of dust particles. So what’s going on over the next couple of nights is the earth will be going through trails of dust particles that were released by the comet almost 500 years ago. METEOR, page 7

People who survived the Great Depression spent their money with that experience in the back of their minds, Nocera said. Now, 80 years later, the “memory fades and we forget what can happen.” “Your mother can tell you that you should save rather than spend. It doesn’t matter, you have to learn for yourself,” Nocera said. Nocera related the financial crisis to science and sex. “Take science. It builds on a foundation, and every new discovery is added to the foundation and builds on it. Discoveries in the 1970s are still part of the building blocks for 2009,”Nocera said. “Sex isn’t like that. You have to make all your own mistakes; you have to figure it out for yourself. And finance is like that.” FINANCIAL, page 5

League of Women Voters looking for young blood By Marissa Freireich ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson will provide information to increase student membership today from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. between the Student Union Memorial Center and the Administration building. Representatives from the league will provide information about the

organization and people can sign up to become members, costs are $30 per year for students.

The youngster said he couldn’t shoo it away, so he went and

Forum to Arizona’s Rose Bowl chances expound reminiscent of choked 1993 season on student welfare I

From the archives

By Jennifer Koehmstedt Arizona Daily Wildcat

Community leaders will participate in a forum at the McClelland Park building’s Conference Center at 7:45 Wednesday morning to discuss how the economic crisis has affected the well-being of UA students. A study conducted by the Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences titled Arizona Pathways to Life Success for University Students, surveyed over 2,000 freshmen in their spring semester of 2008 about their financial attitudes and behaviors. These students became known as the “APLUS” students, said Joyce Serido, assistant research scientist for the School of Family and Consumer Sciences and the project manager and co-principal investigator for the study. Of the original APLUS students, 748 students were surveyed again in their sophomore year this past spring. The study showed a significant change in the well-being of the students, Serido said. “Compared to one-year ago, students reported a drop in their psychological, physical, financial and academic well-being, a decrease in the quality of their relationships with friends, and a decline in their confidence about financial matters,” she said. Serido said she hopes the forum tomorrow will not only aid further research in the study, but also help recognize the APLUS students. “We hope that the participants will raise important questions about factors that may promote or prevent financial well-being so that we can address these with our research,” she said. “We also hope that the APLUS students will learn how important the information they provided is in helping us to understand the relation between financial behaviors in college and later success in life.”

n 1993, the UA football team was hanging out toward the top of the Pacific 10 Conference standings and controlled its own destiny for its first-ever trip to the Rose Bowl. With just a few games remaining in the regular season, Arizona had a hyped-up showdown with a top 15 conference foe to determine which team would have the inside track to the Pac 10 Championship. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Flash forward 16 years to 2009. Arizona once again controls its own conference fate with just a few regular season games left, and a meeting this Saturday against Oregon, ranked 11 in The Associated Press and Coaches’ polls. The winner of the Wildcats’ game, just like in 1993, will have a giant boost on the way to a potential conference championship. Having started out 4-0 in the Pac-10, the 1993 Arizona team traveled to 3-1 UCLA, ranked 15 in the nation, on Oct. 30 in hopes that it would be playing on the same Rose Bowl field a few months later. The game was hyped as the biggest in Arizona football history. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, excitement quickly turned to disappointment, with Arizona falling to the Bruins, 37-17. UCLA took its Pac-10 lead and three games later, UCLA, Arizona and USC finished tied atop the

conference standings. UCLA held the tiebreak, squashing any hopes Wildcat fans had of breaking back into the Rose Bowl picture. While the 1993 team did rebound with a Fiesta Bowl victory that year and finished at No. 10, higher in the final AP Poll than No. 18 UCLA, the UA’s Rose Bowl drought continued. It is a drought that continues to this day, almost two decades later, and will only get drier with a loss to

Oregon on Saturday. This year’s team will not be as fortunate as in 1993 if the Wildcats shrink again in their big-time game. A loss would likely drop Arizona to fifth in the Pac 10 standings with a possible bid to the Poinsettia Bowl or a return trip to the Las Vegas Bowl, and would crush the dreams of a Rose Bowl or probably even a Holiday Bowl birth. Once again, Arizona controls its

own destiny with a few games left. Once again, a big-time showdown with a high-ranked conference foe will help decide Arizona’s Pac 10 fate. Once again, UA fans are hoping and praying for a miracle victory to keep the hope alive for the school’s first trip to the Rose Bowl. Will the Wildcats record a RoseBowl-dream-saving win? Or will they fall in disappointing and heartbreaking fashion, once again?

‘College GameDay’ site remains undisclosed By Shain Bergan Arizona Daily Wildcat ESPN will air its “College GameDay” pregame show Saturday on the UA Mall. The network, though, has yet to announce exactly where on the Mall the program will set up as ESPN prepares for the Wildcats’ showdown versus the University of Oregon.

Neither the network nor Arizona Athletics must reveal the set location beforehand, but an announcement could come as early as Tuesday, Athletics Director Jim Livengood told the Daily Wildcat. “I think one big possibility is over by (the east side of) Old Main, where you can see the mountains and the palm trees,” said Jeff Wolfson, who

is surveying possible sites for ESPN. “That’s basically, I think, what (makes) this university what it is.” The “GameDay” crew could also set up on the Mall by Cherry Avenue or in front of McKale Center, he added. ESPN’s “College GameDay” chooses one college campus each week to host its multi-hour pregame show leading into that week’s premier college football game.

Saturday will mark the first time the UA has hosted “GameDay.” The Wildcats did play in a “GameDay” game at fourth-ranked Penn State for the opening game of the 1999 season. Thirdranked Arizona lost that game, 41-7, and finished the year with a 6-6 record. “GameDay” will air on ESPN from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Saturday, with the game starting at 6 p.m.

PA S S / FA I L See if these ideas make the grade Pre-Black Friday shopping

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a year since Wal-Mart’s Jdimytai Damour was trampled to death on Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving is a busy time for consumers, and perhaps this unnecessary casualty is one of the many reasons why so many big retailers have already commenced their generous sales and discounts. Last week, Kmart started its “Better than Black Friday” campaign. On Oct. 31, Sears began offering the “Black Friday Now” deals. Target is now accepting preorders of some highly anticipated DVDs for just $10, an arguably unbeatable bargain for popular movies. By easing into holiday spending, maybe the crowds won’t be so rabid and competitive on Black Friday, and this could be a very positive change. Whether or not these companies intended to slow down Black Friday traffic — or just begin the shopping season early — they get a pass for taking steps to prevent another holiday stampede.

Rec Center expansion film a depressing reminder of excessive spending

Yesterday, the Student Recreation Center Twitter and Facebook accounts posted a link to a short 30-second movie about the new gym expansion. The movie begins with a construction worker hammering away on a railing, and another employee turns on a plasma screen TV, which is placed outside in the construction zone. Viewers then get a glimpse of what the Rec Center will soon look like, and there are multiple advertisemasents for the mysterious “Big Green Event,” which the video spends no time explaining. “Where are you going to be in 2010?” the film asks, seeming to suggest that the audience begin the year at the Rec. The expansion is nearly complete, but many students have been greatly opposed to the renovations for years. For flaunting extravagant changes that have been very unpopular with students — particularly those who are concerned with all the money that went towards the expansion — the UA Rec Center gets a fail.

The ‘Great Firewall of China’ still stands

President Obama just traveled all the way to China to discuss Internet censorship and free speech, among many other things. “I’m a big supporter of non-censorship,” Obama said. His efforts at encouraging unrestricted Internet access have gone ignored by China, at least for now. According to a report by The Associated Press, Obama’s “words were drastically limited online and shown on just one regional television channel.” China is reported to have the most complex, extensive Web monitoring system, and the country has created more regulations and rules as blogs and other trends have risen in popularity. Twitter is also blocked. For maintaining its oppressive reputation and practically silencing the United States president in his endeavor to put an end to censorship, China gets a fail.

Soundbites Opinions Editor Laura Donovan responds to this week’s news stories Yesterday, The Associated Press leaked excerpts on Sarah Palin’s new memoir, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” which hits bookshelves today. In the book, she confirms reports of tension between her aides and those of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain. The vice presidential candidate confirms that she had wanted to speak on election night, but was denied the chance. Palin also writes disparagingly of CBS anchor Katie Couric, whom she describes as “badgering” and biased.

Press out to sabotage Palin

The Associated Press leaked information on Palin’s memoir before the book’s debut? Why am I not surprised? Considering the media’s near-constant negativity towards Palin over the past year, I expected this kind of mincing with regards to her memoir. Yesterday, TheWeek.com said “Going Rogue” is “Sarah Palin’s whiny book.” On Nov. 13, Geoffrey Dunn wrote a column titled “The First Ten Lies from Going Rogue,” on the Huffington Post. Why couldn’t critics at least wait until today, the memoir’s publication date, to bash Palin’s writing and thought process? If she’s“whiny”in her non-fiction narrative, President Barack Obama is also whiny for some of his complaints and judgments in his own memoir“Dreams from My Father.”Even so, these are personal memoirs, not news reports or political speeches. Palin and Obama are allowed to be as whiny as they want in this diary-esque format. Clearly, Palin’s book sales haven’t suffered. As of press time, over 1.5 million copies of “Going Rogue” have sold on Amazon. com, all before the book’s release. If reviewers are attempting to curb Palin’s success, they’re going to be disappointed. She’s been through a great deal since she was selected to be McCain’s running mate, and the public can’t get enough of her. More than 63 million people play the Facebook game called “FarmVille” every month. Gaming columnist Dean Takahashi told National Public Radio that some people will pay real money to get ahead in the virtual reality game.

Don’t Waste Your Money

Though I’m an addicted Facebook user, I’ve never played FarmVille. I ignore all the invitations from my close UA friend, who has proudly showed me her online farm on several occasions. I won’t go near FarmVille, yet it has somehow invaded my

dreams. It’s difficult to understand why a Facebook application can absorb and entice so many users. The FarmVille community is becoming slightly reminiscent of World of Warcraft players, who have been known to get into the game to an obsessive, unhealthy level. As much time as I spend on Facebook and Twitter, I’d never pay money for social networking websites, and I’m really disturbed to learn that Facebook users would shell out their own cash for a fake farm. Save your money and put it towards your education, or at least towards something that you’ll physically benefit from. Rodney Bradford’s Facebook status update became a substantial alibi after he was accused of a crime. The update’s time stamp and the location from which it was entered showed he could not have been at the scene of a robbery in another part of New York City. After spending nearly two weeks in jail, the case against him was dismissed, according to Cnn.com.

Can’t Trust Facebook

Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other similar Web sites have been known to screw many young people over, so it’s great to see something positive come out of a Web site that is kind of a waste of time. College graduates have been denied jobs as a result of their Facebook photographs and tweets, and most others are worried about suffering the same fate. I’m both surprised and amused that Facebook could bail Rodney Bradford out of jail, but at the same time, how accurate is this find? Since when has Facebook become a valid source of evidence? Many college students have made the mistake of leaving their Facebook accounts signed in on laptops or public computers. These people know how easy and tempting it is for friends to type obscenities and embarrassing statements on the victim’s Facebook status. With online hacking and creative pranks on the rise, a Facebook status should not be considered solid evidence that someone has a rock-hard alibi. Though it’s pleasing to learn that online social networking web pages don’t necessarily lead everyone into failure, my stomach churns at the thought of Facebook becoming a legitimate source of evidence that can get someone out of jail. — Laura Donovan is the opinions editor.

An inconvenient death Laura Donovan columnist

“I

have a midterm this Tuesday. Sorry, mom, but you picked a bad day to die.” I sympathize with any student who has had some version of this thought. It’s unfortunate for people of all ages to lose a parent, particularly traditional college-age students who are too young to suffer such a tumultuous loss. It’s even worse to learn that this loss will inevitably strain a student’s academic well-being, and he may or may not receive any help from his instructors. Whether a student’s grandmother, uncle, mother, sister or other close relative dies, the student will still have to attend to his scholarly responsibilities, and he may not be properly accommodated. Many courses have a mandatory attendance policy, so missing class to go to a funeral may actually hurt a student’s attendance and participation grade. Most humane instructors would be tolerant of absences in this situation, but there are definitely professors who would not consider an immediate death in the family as a substantial reason to excuse an absence. The fall 2009 syllabus for the UA Philharmonic Orchestra lists its attendance policy as such, “Absences from rehearsals,

sectionals and concerts will be excused only in cases of personal emergency or incapacitating illness. A doctor or health services note may be required. Absences for reasons other than the above or frequent lateness will lower your grade.” Consider the vagueness of “personal emergency.” Professor Charles Bontrager, an instructor for the course, said in a phone interview that a death in the family would, in fact, suffice for an excused absence. When asked about the unclear definition of “personal emergency,” Bontranger added, “One person’s emergency can be another person’s moderate problem. It would be impossible write up a threepage syllabus listing all the things that can be considered a personal emergency.” Sadly, not all instructors are as understanding as professor Bontranger when it comes to deaths in the family. In one of my intermediate French courses, the instructor told the class, “I don’t care if your grandma’s dead, your dad’s dead, whatever, the absence will count against you.” I can only hope that the majority of professors wouldn’t be this insensitive, and if they are, I’d expect them to be pretty embarrassed about wearing heartlessness as a badge of honor. The Frequently Asked Questions section on the Dean of Students Office Web site lists the ways in which a student can receive an excused absence from class. “The Dean of Students Office provides excused absences for universitysponsored events,” the Web site states, but “the Dean of Students Office does not issue excuses for individual, personal absences.”

In other words, if a student wants to skip class to attend an event, which he may actually be using just to get out of school, he has a good chance of being granted an excused absence. If a family member dies and I need a day out of class to travel, grieve or even make memorial service arrangements, I probably won’t be so lucky. The Web site goes on to say, “If you need to miss class for personal reasons, we suggest that you let your instructors know in advance of that absence (if possible),” but “Instructors are not obligated to excuse student’s personal absences.” The Dean of Students Office did not return calls to comment on the specifics of missing class due to family deaths. Does this mean that it’s basically up to the student’s professor to determine the validity of a student’s personal absence needs? Do students have to rely on their instructors to be compassionate in the case that a student’s family member or close friend dies? What happens if a student comes across an emotionally-dead or apathetic instructor who does not view this type of loss as a legitimate excuse to miss class sessions? When immense tragedy hits a student, he’d be wise to take time off school. If he doesn’t have the financial means to put off his graduation, he should be allowed to finish out the semester with a few excused absences. The university community needs more comprehensive, solid support for missing class because of a death in the family. — Laura Donovan is the opinions editor.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You had to lose your mind to get caught up in what was going on both on Main Street with housing and on Wall Street with derivatives,â&#x20AC;? Nocera said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;The madness is really quite powerful.â&#x20AC;? Similar to the Great Depression, most people missed the obvious signs that this crisis was coming but a few people did take notice. In December 2006, the peak of the housing market bubble, Lewis Ranieri and other members of the panel at the Office of Thrift Supervision discussed the housing market, because â&#x20AC;&#x153;they were getting a little nervous.â&#x20AC;? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were the gatekeepers of finances in the United States,â&#x20AC;&#x153;they acted as a form of control, and this has gotten pushed aside completely.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past, the investors could understand and have faith in the underlying value of mortgage-backed securities but not anymore,â&#x20AC;? Nocera said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today the transparency of the past has been obscured by a multitude of products. There is the crisis in a nutshell.â&#x20AC;? Edward Gramlich, with the Federal Reserve, was very concerned with the state of the economy in America and went to Alan Greenspan, the former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman, before the collapse, but was scoffed at. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a secret,â&#x20AC;? Nocera said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;AIG stopped writing credit default swaps in 2006 because they saw the underlying securities were problematic. That just blows my mind.â&#x20AC;?

Lesson 3:

In every level of financial society, there was a race to the bottom.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a diminution of standards, things that used to matter to an investor stopped mattering,â&#x20AC;? Nocera said. Companies began competing by offering loans that were far too risky because â&#x20AC;&#x153;they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lose their power in the marketplace in January 2008.â&#x20AC;? But the blame doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall on the companies alone, Nocera said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spend all our time gnashing our teeth at Wall Street but homeowners didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do smart things either,â&#x20AC;? Nocera said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who in their right mind buys a home with no money down and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to pay the first mortgage payment?â&#x20AC;? In the end, it comes down to the age-old question, which came first the chicken or the egg? Or in this case, company or personal financial ruin? To get out of this economic slump â&#x20AC;&#x153;we need to stop trying to spend our way out of depression,â&#x20AC;? Nocera said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a national reset where every level of society spends less and goes into less debt,â&#x20AC;? he said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;But no one is thinking about how to unwind the spending.â&#x20AC;? His advice to students is â&#x20AC;&#x153;to act in their own best economic interest.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pay down your home equity loan, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pile up credit card debt, the government should not be encouraging people to spend right now because that kind of behavior isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sustainable,â&#x20AC;? Nocera said.

policebeat By Michael Merriman Arizona Daily Wildcat

Intoxicated man tries to rush Pi Kappa Alpha

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house on Nov. 6 at 1:56 a.m. in reference to a report of an intoxicated man trying to gain access to the premises. Upon arrival, officers met with a fraternity member who told them that they had called the police because an unidentified man had been banging on the windows of the house and trying to get on the roof of the building. The member told police that the man was able to climb onto the roof and was currently throwing miscellaneous objects into a courtyard near the front entrance. The member further told police that the man was not a member and had not been invited to the house. Officers made contact with the unknown man and ordered him off of the roof. The man told police that he liked fraternities and had been invited to the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house. Officer asked the man if he knew what fraternity house he was at and he stated that he did not. According to police, the man had bloodshot eyes and the strong odor of intoxicants coming from his mouth as he spoke. He gave police several different names and dates of birth, all of which returned no valid matches. Four fraternity members present at the time told police that they wished to press charges against the man. Because the man repeatedly gave police birth dates that would have made him under the age of 21, he was cited on charges of minor in possession. He was also cited on charges of criminal trespassing, false reporting to a law enforcement officer and four counts of disorderly conduct. He was transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked.

How many warnings does it take to get arrested? Three.

UAPD officers responded to the Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall on Nov. 6 at 2 a.m. in reference to a male resident disturbing the peace. Upon arrival, officers could hear yelling coming from the courtyard as they met with a resident assistant. The RA told them that an intoxicated man was in a hallway, screaming profanities and breaking bottles. The RA told police that she advised the man to stop disturbing the peace, but he refused. When the RA led police to the floor where the man had been screaming, they observed a broken Jack Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottle on the floor. They contacted the man, who identified himself with a Washington state driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. He had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and the strong odor of intoxicants coming from his mouth as he spoke. He was also incoherent during police questioning. Officers informed the man that in lieu of arrest, the incident would be referred to the Dean of Students Office. Officers then advised the man to return to his room to go to sleep, which he agreed to do. As officers were in the parking lot preparing to leave the residence hall, they observed the man exit the dorm and begin incoherently screaming. Officers contacted the man again and advised him to return to his room, which he did, escorted by an RA. Several minutes later, the RA called police to report that the man was outside again causing problems. Officers contacted the man again and placed him in handcuffs. Two RAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filled out voluntary statements confirming that the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior was unreasonable. He was then cited on two counts of disturbing the peace and one count of minor in possession. He was transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked.

Blundering boy burgles â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blue bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and pen

UAPD officers went to the UofA Bookstore in the Student Union Memorial Center on Nov. 6 at 9:53 a.m. in reference to a report of shoplifting. Upon arrival, officers met with a bookstore employee who told them that they had observed a man enter the bookstore empty handed, and exit the store without paying for several items. The employee further stated that they had followed the man out of the store and all the way to the Modern Languages building before losing sight of him. The employee showed the surveillance video to police. Watching the video, police observed as the man picked up an examinationâ&#x20AC;&#x153;blue book,â&#x20AC;? removed a single pen from a package displayed for sale and then exited the store, passing all points of sale and failing to pay for any of the items in his possession. Using the surveillance video, employees identified a second man who was seen associating with the shoplifting suspect. Employees contacted that man and he provided employees with a name and address of the shoplifting suspect. Bookstore employees were able to contact the alleged shoplifter and escort him back to the bookstore. According to police, the man admitted to taking the â&#x20AC;&#x153;blue bookâ&#x20AC;? and claimed that he should have paid for it but just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. He also stated that taking the pen had been another stupid decision, but told police that he needed the items for an upcoming examination that he was running late for. He was cited on charges of shoplifting and released on the scene. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

METEOR

continued from page 1

Ancient dust creates brilliant Leonid shower

Unfortunately in order to see the best show, a couple of meteors every minute at most, you have to live in Asia. So the timing is off for Arizona, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to see the best of this meteor shower. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out, maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see one meteor every couple of minutes.

look like really quick flashes.

When will you be able to see it? You will be able to see it tomorrow (today). The other important thing is you can only see it early in the morning. Basically you have to be outside from 2 a.m. until dawn. After 2 a.m. really. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an early morning event. The best time is Tuesday morning but there will still be a few Wednesday morning.

Is there a certain place in the city where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to see meteor showers? The darker, the better. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go all the way out in the desert but the key is to maybe drive some place darker or even if you stay at home, find a spot in your yard where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have bright lights shining in your face, which is really hard since everyone has security lights in their yards. But if you can find a place thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somewhat dark, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key. Campus probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a great spot because the campus is lit up bright as day all the time. But just try to find a place thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark and, of course, safe.

Is there anything unusual about this meteor shower? Yes, the meteors are actually the fastest meteors out there because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hitting the earth head-on. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re basically hitting the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atmosphere as fast as they possibly can. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hitting at about 72 kilometers per second. About 43 miles per second. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as fast as they possibly can get pretty much. And also when you see them theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at least 90 kilometers up, or 54 miles up. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty high up there even though they might appear to be real close. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll appear to be kind of bluish, maybe whitish, maybe blue-green streaks in the sky. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only going to last for a split second. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see slowly burning across the sky. These guys are really quick and they burn out quickly so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just

How often do meteor showers come around? There are meteor showers all the time but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really only a handful that are actually worth for the average person to see.

What direction or where in the sky should people look for the meteors? The best thing to do is look straight up. Leo is going to be east. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to look directly east. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to look away from Leo. Whatever is easiest on your neck. Usually when there are meteor showers people get out a beach chair and lay back and point straight up. Watch as much of the sky as you can. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to look all over the place, just relax and enjoy yourself. I know a lot of people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met have seen them and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it because they happen so quickly. They just see a light across the sky really fast.

Voter organization sells jewelry to aid Kenya

understanding what the issues were,â&#x20AC;? she said. Tucsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapter now has about 230 members, both male and female. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the obstacles for us is it is an aging organization,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our focus is to increase younger membership.â&#x20AC;? Rodriguez added that they hope to engage students who have different perspectives. The League of Women Voters is a completely volunteer-run organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much to do and not enough people power,â&#x20AC;? she said. The organization provides summary sheets about various propositions, directories of public officials, and other voter information. The League of Women Voters takes stands on issues, but does not endorse political candidates. The organization also has various committees from natural resources to voter services. Kara Ellerby, a graduate student in the School of Government and Public Policy, said she joined the League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson about two years ago.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important as voters to make informed decisions,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ellerby said the league is a good resource for non-partisan election information in the community and state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy way to stay informed about how policy affects students.â&#x20AC;? Like Rodriguez, Ellerby also said the members of the league are primarily retired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could really use some young blood,â&#x20AC;?she said. In addition to providing information, the League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson will also sell African jewelry from their Kenya Women and Global Democracy Program. This program facilitates an exchange between American and Kenyan representatives to provide information about the democratic process. Earlier this year, the League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson purchased a generator for a health clinic in Kenya with the money from three years of jewelry sales. The price of the jewelry will range from $10 to $30. The money from the jewelry sales will go towards other projects in Kenya.

Stoops, Arizona excited about GameDay By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona football team and coaching staff went to sleep on Saturday night depressed after a heartbreaking loss but woke up Sunday morning to some good news. ESPN “College GameDay” announced it will be in Tucson this weekend to host its weekly pregame show. “I think it’s great for our university, it’s great for our football program and it’s great for our fans,”

head coach Mike Stoops said during his weekly press conference on Monday morning. “It’s fun to see and it’s fun to be a part of.” “I think it brings some enthusiasm to the stadium, and we’re going to need a lot of help (against Oregon),” Stoops added. “I think our fans have always supported us in a very strong way, and I look forward to it being a very entertaining night and day.” In addition to the bells and whistles that ESPN and its cast of colorful characters will bring to Tucson, the arrival of the world’s premier sports

media outlet is further proof that Arizona football (6-3, 4-2 Pacific 10 Conference) is headed in a positive direction under Stoops’ leadership. “I think all the exposure helps,” Stoops added. “It’s hard to gauge to what degree, but I think winning and playing well has helped more than anything.”

Still plenty to play for

Despite ESPN being on campus, there’s still a game to play. A game whose outcome holds huge implications for Arizona.

McClellan gets coaching job with elder Wise

By Lance Madden ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

s a UA men’s basketball player from 2004-08, Jawann McClellan was known by many simply as“J-Mac.”In fact, every time he scored in home games his senior season, McKale Center’s PA announcer belted the nickname over the loud speakers. Now he has a new name, though it carries much more formality: coach McClellan. Just a month shy of his 24th birthday, McClellan coached his first game on Monday night as an assistant at basketball powerhouse Yates High School, located in the Houston, Texas neighborhood in which McClellan grew up. The team’s head coach is none other than Greg Wise, the father of current UA basketball players Nic and Dondre Wise. “It was a no-brainer for me to bring him on board,” Greg Wise said.“I don’t think we’re going to have him long because he just has everything that you’re looking for in a coach, no matter what level.” McClellan, who has known the Wise family for nearly two decades, came to Arizona as an All-American from Milby High School in Houston. After four years as a Wildcat, three under Lute Olson and one under Kevin O’Neill, he played professionally in the NBA Development League and in Belgium. His pro career was cut short, however, after he hyper-extended his knee. The doctor told McClellan he had bone spurs everywhere and that his playing career was over. That’s when McClellan knew it was time to coach. He came back to Tucson this past summer to complete his bachelor’s degree in religious studies, and then he got a call from the elder Wise, who needed an assistant. So McClellan went back to Houston in August to begin coaching and left any hesitancy far behind. “I’ve been good (from a coaching standpoint) since I played — that’s one strength of mine,” McClellan said.“I was always like a second coach on the floor. That part comes easy. Coaching comes natural to me. “I’m confident that I can J-MAC, page 10

The Wildcats still control their own destiny for the program’s first Rose Bowl appearance. All they have to do is win their final three games, starting with Oregon this Saturday. “We have our backs to the wall, and if we want to stay in this thing, we have to win,” Stoops said. “I look for our kids to take on that challenge and respond in a positive way. “You want to put yourself in a position (to make the Rose Bowl) this late in the year,” he added.

Q&A Oyen looks to the future

Editor’s Note: Lisa Oyen was appointed head coach of Arizona soccer by Jim Livengood on Thursday. The Arizona Daily Wildcat’s Vincent Balistreri caught up with the newly appointed Oyen to discuss which players will return and the future of the soccer program. Daily Wildcat: First of all, congratulations on being named the soccer head coach. When did you find out that you would be the new soccer coach? Lisa Oyen: I found out on Thursday, the day it was announced. DW: Were you shocked that the decision came so quick? LO: I knew they wanted to make a decision quickly for the best interest of the group so I was surprised when they told me they were going to hire me. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I knew they were going to act quickly. DW: So have you spoken to the returning players? LO: Yes, I was able to speak with them on Thursday. DW: What did you tell the returning players when you spoke with them? LO: I just let them know the excitement, the optimism that I have with this group moving forward. That was a big reason why this was something I wanted as far as the position. I feel really strongly with the kind of people we have in this program. DW: Do you think all the returning players will return next season? LO: We’re going to meet everyone individually, I think they should have some optimism for the future. DW: You were an assistant under Dan Tobias for the last eight years. Have you talked to him since being hired? LO: Yes, we’ve talked. DW: What was that like? LO: It was a positive conversation. That is a conversation that should stay between him and me.

DW: As the head coach, what is your next move? LO: To bring a third person to the coaching staff. We’re allowed to train with the group until early December so on Monday were going to start that process. We want to move forward, we want to set a tone and establish a standard rhythm from the get-go. DW: So John Galas will be back as an assistant? LO: Correct. DW: As far as the second assistant, are you going to wait until the soccer season is officially over to search for a new assistant? LO: We’re discussing that right now. We want to do this as quickly as possible without rushing it. We’re not waiting on this or that. We’re working on it right now so we’ll see what happens with that. DW: After being an assistant for so long, how important is (it) for you build your own identity as a head coach? LO: Working with Dan, I was his assistant but I was able to have a variety of experiences outside of working with Dan to grow as a head coach. I am excited about the challenge and opportunity to kind (of) instill my own ideas. DW: Since the program’s first season in 1994, there have been problems with the relationships between players and coaches. Is it important for you to make sure that doesn’t happen again? LO: I feel like the relationships you have (with) your coach is extremely important. The one thing I enjoy about coaching is having good relationships with the players and it’s not going to always be easy because you’re always going to have something come up even if you have the perfect player and the perfect coach. It’s a matter of how you deal with differences that will come up. As long as there is a good understanding of what the ultimate goal is you should be able to move forward.

SOCCER, page 10

here comes a point when bodies become depth. It takes some coaches longer than others to trust their fragile young guns in the real world of 20-minute intervals. UA basketball head coach Sean Miller doesn’t have too many other options but to embrace his deck of cards getting deeper by the day. In Sunday’s 87-70 win against NAU, Miller held true to his word when he said nine to 10 guys would see some playing time. But everybody wondered if guys Nos. 8 through 10 could hold up their end of the deal. UA sophomore Brendon Lavender collected dust last year under then-interim head coach Russ Pennell. He wasn’t alone. Only seven players saw regular playing time in a rigid, predictable structure — The Big Three of Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill and Nic Wise played at least 36 minutes every game, barring foul trouble. On Sunday, Lavender played 28 minutes. He wasn’t alone. Eight of the 10 guys played at least 17 minutes in a box score that dished out playing time more freely than Costco samples. “Last year was a 1-2-3 kind of thing. The Big Three type deal,” UA forward Jamelle Horne said. “As I said, we have guys last year who weren’t given the opportunity. This year, like I said at the beginning, I said versatility.” Drawing comparisons to last season’s team seems unfair given the complete overhaul in players. But it definitely proves there’s a new boss in town developing raw athleticism beyond the pace of either past two interims. On Sunday, freshman Solomon Hill scored a team-high 17 points. Freshman Derrick Williams added eight points. Garland Judkins, who is a sophomore by technicality after spending the majority of last season suspended, looked sharp with his footwork on defense. And freshman Kyryl Natyazhko could’ve passed off as would-be UA sophomore Jeff Withey (he transferred to Kansas after Lute Olson retired last season). While roles are far from finalized — or even developing for that matter — it’s clear that everything is unclear. And for once in Arizona’s recent history, unclear is a good thing. “I feel it’s different this year because these guys, not to say we weren’t mature, but it seems like (this year’s freshmen) are on a different level,” Lavender said in comparison to his freshman season. “They’re way more mature. Way more focused. I’m not sure if it has to do with coaching, but they’re really focused and they’re doing really good.” Miller’s style makes it impossible to rely on the starting lineup to carry the burn of 35-plus minutes. This is not Kevin O’Neill’s anemic halfcourt offense (see: 2007-08). This is not Pennell’s zone defense (see: 2008-09). It’s crucial in Miller’s beehive-busy offense and man-to-man, zero-airspace defense to have fresh legs. And it’s crucial to earn trust. “That’s how we’re going to do it,” Miller said. “To demand effort defensively, it’s hard not to give guys a sub.” Don’t even rule out UA sophomore Alex Jacobson, a guy who averaged just seven minutes in the games he got to play last season. “I was disappointed I didn’t get Alex in the game,” Miller said in a quote you’d be more likely to see in The Onion from prior coaches. “There will be some games where he plays more than others. “Our lineup is one that could change throughout the course of the year,” Miller added.“It’s certainly far from being in cement.” The cement may never dry. — Bryan Roy can be reached at media@wildcat.arizona.edu

Cross-country, track and field runners aim to help end world hunger By Nathan Comerford Arizona Daily Wildcat With a goal of “ending world hunger, one grilled cheese at a time,” the Arizona track and field and crosscountry runners have partnered with The Hunger Project to start a FeelGood World chapter for the UA. Recently, the group has been living up to FeelGood World’s slogan by passing out free grilled cheese sandwich to help raise awareness for global hunger. The group made free grilled cheese sandwiches on the UA Mall Monday for any interested passersby and donations of any amount were accepted. For every dollar donated, The Hunger Project matches 20 cents toward helping third world countries in Africa, South Asia and Latin America end hunger in a sustainable manner. “It’s a fun way to get involved and an easy way to help out,” said chemical engineering sophomore and club member Emily Rodela.“But at the same time, the bigger picture is larger than just being an easy way to help out, so that’s cool too.” In six years, 21 college chapters, including the UA’s, have sprung up in the United States and awareness is continuing to rise. Some universities even have incorporated entire restaurants to the cause. That is something that sophomore founder and Arizona cross-country runner Hanna Henson wants to

SOCCER

Small steps will add up in quest for more wins

continued from page 8

DW: I’ve heard you say how optimistic you are about the future. What makes you so optimistic? LO: Part of (it)is because of the kind people and players we already (have) here. There is more that I think we can get out of the current players so I’m excited about that. Also with the upcoming class coming in next year, that’s where my optimism comes from. DW: With that said, what is your vision for the soccer program moving into the future? LO: Well, I think we need to be a team that is much more competitive in our conference. Where we finished this season is obviously not where we want to finish. I think we (are) definitely a team that can finish higher, I don’t know the timeline of that but we all hope it’s sooner than later. It’s about taking small steps at the beginning and working our way to our ultimate goal, that’s being one of the top teams in our conference and the nation.

work toward. Since the clubs’ inaugural semester last spring, the chapter has held six fundraisers on the Mall. Henson hopes to begin having the fundraisers on the Mall every week. “I honestly didn’t know what I was getting myself into,” Henson said. “I didn’t realize all the hoops you have to jump through. The grilled cheese is easy. It’s trying to get the Mall reserved and getting the club approved and all that that’s difficult.” One of the motivations she had to form the chapter was actually current UA cross-country assistant coach Erin Rodrigs, who was a member of the first chapter at the University of Texas when it was established in 2003. “The hardest challenge is just getting people aware,” Rodela said. “When we advertise out on the Mall, a lot of people just shrug it off and walk by without a second thought. But the majority of people who stop make donations, so that’s good.” Through the past year, the group has continued to have growing success. Currently, the UA chapter has about 50 members, the majority of them being runners from either cross-country or track and field. There are about eight members not on either team. Initially, there were only members from the two teams though, and one of the group’s goals continues to be increasing awareness for the general student body. “This year … we’re growing as a

chapter and a lot more than just the team is involved which is good for awareness. We’ve definitely come a long way,” Henson said. “I can’t tell you the amount of interesting people I’ve met,” she added. “There are a lot of freshmen who come in here looking to make a difference, and I think this chapter gives them an outlet.” Currently, Henson estimates the club makes about $150 in donations per Mall outing. However, some of that is used to pay for produce and other materials to make the sandwiches. While Sunflower Market has donated bread for the club, Henson is still looking for donations for the other parts of the fundraising. “What’s interesting about the bread is it’s all near the end of its shelf life,” Rodela said. “It’s still good, but it just shows how much excess food we have here when some people don’t have anything. Sunflower Market can donate almost 30 loaves every time and that just puts it in perspective for us.” And the overall perspective always humbles the club’s members. “I’ve realized I just have so much to be thankful for,” Henson said. “People in third world countries don’t have clean water; something most don’t even think to thank God for.” While the FeelGood World chapter will not be out on the Mall this upcoming week due to the cross-country national meet, they hope to make two more appearances by the end of the semester.

Wise: ‘He’s well beyond his years’

out-coach a lot of coaches at the college level right now,”he added. “But because of my age, I don’t know if people will give me the chance. But it will all work itself out in the end.” Greg Wise said he has given McClellan total freedom as a coach, and compared his X’s and O’s knowledge to that of former Wildcat and current Memphis head coach Josh Pastner, another Houston product. “His knowledge is about as good as he can get for someone his age,” Greg Wise said of McClellan.“He’s super. He’s well beyond his years.” McClellan said he hopes to one day coach for a college team and eventually at the professional level.Yates, however, isn’t a bad place to start. PrepNation.com has ranked Yates the No. 6 boys basketball team in the nation. The team is also listed No. 9 in the ESPN Rise Fab 50. The Lions scored 96.5 points per game went 34-1 last season, winning a state title. They came into winter riding a 24-game winning streak. “Our thing is, we’re trying to be the best team in the country, and I think we have the best team in the

country,”Greg Wise said.“I know Jawann has done a lot to make us better. As good as we were last year, we’re even better this year.” McClellan said the Lions’ style is similar to Nolan Richardson’s 1994 Arkansas men’s basketball team, which won the national championship that season. “We’ll play 32 minutes of hell,” McClellan said.“We trap the whole game, we press the whole game. We’ll come at you in different ways. We’re trying to get most of our offense off of fast breaks and turnovers.” McClellan will also be able to get his name out as a coach, as Yates will play in two national tournaments this season — in Hawaii and Alabama — which it didn’t do last season. “I’m going to get good experience being with a top team,” McClellan said.“And working with Nic’s dad is great. I like that he doesn’t treat me like an average assistant. He lets me get out there and he wants me to say what I have to say. “He’s letting me grow as a coach,” McClellan added.“This is the best situation I could ask for.”

Arizona safety Robert Golden celebrates a play during Arizona’s win over Washington State two weeks ago. The Wildcats will need to play with their emotions on their sleeves against Oregon on Saturday if they hope to knock off the ranked Ducks.

FOOTBALL

Wildcats control destiny, Grigsby expected to play

continued from page 8

“There’s a lot of football to play, but it’ll be over if we don’t win on Saturday.” With two conference losses, the Wildcats are currently in a three-way tie for second place in the Pac-10 while Oregon is alone in first place with just one loss. Arizona has three games left to play and Oregon has two, so even if Oregon beats Arizona and loses its next game to Oregon State, Arizona still has no chance to win the Pac-10. “We control our own destiny,” Stoops added. “We’re ahead of everybody else if we win (against Oregon) with tiebreakers and all that, so there’s still an awful lot to play for.” Because Arizona beat Stanford and Oregon State earlier in the season, the Wildcats could win the conference if they finish with the same conference record as either of those two teams.

Injury update

The injury report is looking better with each week, and Stoops expects to have most players back and ready

to go for Saturday, including running back Nic Grigsby. “I think Nic looks good,”Stoops said. “He played a little at the end (of the Cal game), and I think he’ll be close to 100 percent.” Grigsby was dressed for the game against Cal but did not see the field until the last series of the game when Arizona was in a clear passing situation. Stoops said that he might have been able to go, but he wasn’t comfortable enough to play him with a stillinjured shoulder. Stoops didn’t say whether Grigsby would start against Oregon, but he is expected to play. Offensive linemen Herman Hall (shoulder) and Conan Amituanai (knee) are both expected to play this weekend, as is Brooks Reed (ankle). The defensive end started against Cal and played relatively well but was rusty. Stoops said he expects Reed to be at full strength this week.
