Homeowners heatedly argue about manual

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Homeowners who want to preserve Jefferson Park neighborhood and developers looking to build new houses tailored to students argued on Wednesday.

Members of the Jefferson Park Neighborhood Design Manual Advisory Board and staff from the City of Tucson met at Waverly Park Healthcare Center to discuss the latest draft of the neighborhood’s preservation manual. The manual seeks to prevent the building of “mini-dorms,” or large, multiple-bedroom houses that are architecturally incompatible with the rest of the neighborhood.

These “mini-dorms” are often rented to students and can include up to nine bedrooms.

Some residents said the issue is incorrectly labeled as a controversy against students by developers.

“What we have here is a historic neighborhood. What we’re trying to preserve is a historic neighborhood and a single-family neighborhood,” said Nancy Martin, a member of the advisory board and Jefferson Park homeowner.

Martin said she has neighbors who are students, and has no problem with them living in the original two-bedroom houses.

“We are not trying to legislate against students,” Martin said.

“This is about architecture.

Architecture is destiny in this neighborhood.”

Staff from the City of Tucson wrote the manual to make sure it follows the guidelines of the

preservation ordinance and is legally defendable, said Adam Smith, principal planner for the City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department. Main changes to the draft included requirements for front yards, massing, scale and architectural design of new construction and renovations.

Smith said the revisions were a “balancing act” between the input of homeowners and developers.

“We attempted to come up with a recommendation that was fair, reasonable and implementable,” Smith said. “We tried to listen to everybody’s opinion,

so not just the neighborhood and not just the developers.”

The new draft raised the “maximum residential floor to area ratio” from 0.35, which was suggested by homeowners, to 0.4.

This would allow for houses to be remodeled larger on the lot to accommodate more people, or in this case student residents. The change was problematic for some members of the committee.

“I want you to understand how very serious this is to us and how we are, and I think I can speak for many people in this room, enraged about this jumpup,” said Lisa Jones, a member of the advisory board and Jefferson Park homeowner.

Some homeowners said the ratio will not sufficiently limit the construction of “mini-dorms.”

“That makes no sense, no sense at all,” said Suzanne Trappman, a member of the advisory board and a Jefferson Park homeowner. “That’s what we’re trying to stop so that we Coutesy photo don’t have a lot of density.

crease in ratio as an attempt to protect the rights of property owners.

“I’m still not happy with what’s happening because when you bought your property, you had certain rights that were in writing,” said Mike Goodman, a developer in the neighborhood.

“When I bought my property, I received certain rights that were in writing. They were established.

They were codified. What you’re asking, you’re asking them to take away those rights, to minimize those rights of what we see as fit to do with our property.

Without that, where is the — John Lee compromise?” land developer The new draft also added a requirement for privacy mitigation.

Two-story houses with balconies will be required to shield visibility into neighboring yards.

Local developer John Lee said the various restrictions in the manual make it difficult for him to improve his properties, even in ways that are appropriate for the neighborhood.

“The properties I own, I want to improve them,” Lee said. “I don’t want to preserve them exactly the way they are. That’s why I bought them.”

“The properties I own, I want to improve them. I don’t want to preserve them exactly the way they are.

That’s why I bought them.”

Science majors are joining lab teams early in college and reaping the benefits of hands-on research experience.

With the possibility of working alongside professionals on various labs on campus, students can see the theories taught in class applied to studies with actual human impact.

Sometimes, practical experience comes before theoretical learning. Nathan Cromer, a physiology junior, started his work at professor Henk Granzier ’s lab during the spring of his freshman year.

Cromer conducts cardiac ultrasounds and echocardiograms on mice, as part of a study on genes that contribute to heart failure.

In some of Cromer’s upper division courses, he’s learning things he already knows. “Basic techniques I’ve already learned in lab and have been able to do,” he said.

Q& A Q&A with Consul General of Azerbaijan Elin Suleymanov

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona Daily Wildcat sat down with Elin Suleymanov, consul general of the Republic of Azerbaijan . Suleymanov gave a lecture to students, faculty and staff as a part of International Education Week on Wednesday. Azerbaijan is a Muslim nation bordered by Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Iran.

What brings you to Arizona and the UA? “The consulate (of Azerbaijan) in Los Angeles is responsible

for 13 western states in the United States, and one of them is Arizona … That’s why we came here: to meet people, to talk. It’s been a very interesting and pleasant visit. I spoke at the Chamber of Commerce in Phoenix and ASU, and now it was very good to meet the students here. I heard a lot about this university. This is my first time in Tucson. The landscape is actually very similar to Azerbaijan , the mountains, the colors.”

What do you do as consul general?

“I think the most important

than it used to be. When I first came to the United States in 1992, and went to school in Toledo, Ohio , Azerbaijan was only one year old as an independent state, so basically no one knew what it was. Now, because the relationship between the United States and Azerbaijan has been developing quite rapidly and because of all the regional affairs, many more people know … It’s been improving fairly rapidly.

I mean, everyone knows what it is or has heard of it, but our goal is to take it a little bit farther than name recognition.”

“It varies. Much better now

is outreach: political, economical and cultural. We organize cultural events. We speak a lot about our region at the universities. You know, Azerbaijan has yet to become a household name in the United States, so part of what we do is basically introduce it. And basically trying to initiate a conversation …

At least to provoke some interest in what I think is a region of significance, of great strategic importance.”

pre-business freshman So, I noticed you were just fiddling around on your iPad, why did you get one and what is your favorite thing about it?

I got an iPad because it’s convenient and better than taking a whole big computer to class and there’s a lot of games on there.

What’s your favorite game?

No comment.

Come on …

Probably Angry Birds, everybody knows that game, people know what I’m talking about.

Are you a big gamer?

Video games? Sports games?

No, not really. I’m not really in to games that much, to be honest.

What about like mental games?

What kind of questions are these? Like brain teasers?

No, like playing games with people, with their heads.

No, that’s not nice.

Have you ever played games with people’s minds to get what you want?

No, that is not fair. I’m telling the truth, I have never done that before.

So picture this scene: you just got paid, just finished a test, it’s a Friday night and you are ready to jam, what is the first song that you blast?

Probably Tyga, “Party Ova’ Here.”

What is your favorite song just to cruise to?

Definitely Ryan Leslie, “When I Think About Love.” Total R&B in the house …

Are you going to be attending the “Harry Potter” premiere in about 24 hours?

Whoa, don’t even go there. Stop right there, definitely not.

Whoa, hatin’ on Harry.

Well what are you going to do instead while the entire world is watching it?

Something much, much more productive, and worthy.

Favorite Thanksgiving tradition?

Praying around the table with my family.

How many people usually gathered around?

Well it depends on which family I go to, but probably around 10 to 15.

I’m kind of picturing The Last Supper but with your family?

(Laughs) I am not going to compare my Thanksgiving dinner with The Last Supper, but we are all holding hands in prayer.

Does everyone go around and say what they are thankful for?

No. The eldest leads the prayer and we all just kind of listen and reflect.

Nice, sounds like a scene from a classic Holiday movie.

Yeah, it’s a good time.

Pretty traditional.

Man swallows 100-year-old museum exhibit Invite a sword swallower to a museum and it’s bound to happen: He’s going to swallow an exhibit.

On Sunday, Dan Meyer did just that when he dropped a 100-yearold serrated saw down his throat.

Meyer, president of Sword Swallowers Association International (SSAI), swallowed the tool in front of a packed lecture hall during his presentation on the history and science of sword swallowing at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Conn.

“It felt kind of bumpy on the edges and it kinda hurt,” Meyer told AOL News. “I had to go very slowly and carefully. My throat’s a little sore after doing it. The saw is probably more painful than anything I’ve swallowed.”

The sharp-toothed saw once belonged to an early 20th-century sword swallower named Edith Clifford. Elegantly clad in Victorian dress, she was billed as the “Champion Sword Swallower of the World” from 1899 to 1922.

“It’s a privilege for me,” Meyer said. “This creates a connection for me to Edith Clifford, now that I’ve swallowed the same prop she’s swallowed. It’s like doing a straitjacket escape using Houdini’s straitjacket.”

The saw, along with a dozen other long, sharp objects, was on loan from Meyer for display at the museum’s “Circus! Art and Science Under the Big Top” exhibit.

Then you can create a workable plan for budgeting wisely.

UAPD Property, Evidence room holds trove of confiscated items Drugs, paraphernalia held until use or ordered to destroy in off-limits area

By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The thousands of pieces of property that are logged and stored in the Property and Evidence section of the University of Arizona Police Department are classified and connected with case investigations, search warrants or seized as contraband. Students are cited and charged for possession of paraphernalia or marijuana on a daily basis, according to police. The most common item taken as evidence is drug paraphernalia, or the drug itself. After an officer confiscates an item, a more complicated process begins.

“Marijuana is definitely the most common item we deal with,” said UAPD

Erich Healy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

The UA Police Department Property and Evidence room is where seized property and items submitted for evidence wait for pending cases to close.

Public Information Officer Sgt. Juan Alvarez. “It is usually pipes and the plastic baggie or container where the marijuana is kept or something they carry it in.

“It’s hard to say what we have stored in there,” Alvarez said of the room. “I, myself, have taken in my share of odd things. Like once, I had a wire hanger that was used to stuff a container of marijuana that I had to log into there.”

According to police records, things such as a pink Disney Princess rubber bouncy ball that was found on campus have been turned in along with the plastic bags full of marijuana.

First, the paraphernalia is packaged and the officer places it into an envelope.

He or she must initial it before giving it to custodians to file in the property and evidence room. It is stored in a way that will preserve its properties if further lab work is needed so that UAPD can send it out and have it tested, according to police.

UAPD has a special area known as the “Property and Evidence” room in the back of the main station. “When an officer sees evidence involved in a case, they have to package it by certain standards to maintain the chain of custody,” Alvarez said. “Then we generally get an order from the court to destroy it. Depending on what it is, we destroy it. A lot of times its shipped to another location where is it destroyed.”

Alvarez was unable to disclose the whereabouts of the secondary location where evidence is shipped to be destroyed. “It all depends on what it was,” he added.

The room itself is extremely off-limits: only the commander of the police station and Property and Evidence employees are allowed into it, and a log is kept so every person who enters the room must sign in. Property and Evidence techni-

An envelope, taped and marked, is used as an example for officers when one submits evidence to the University of Arizona Police Department. Items are carefully preserved and cataloged to ensure they remain in the exact state as when there were received.

cians Brent Johnson and Michael Aaron are one of the few employees who are allowed to move the materials. They neglected to comment.

Last Sunday, Officer D. Lopez went to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall after a resident assistant reported she could smell marijuana in one of the rooms.

After speaking to the two roommates separately, they admitted they had smoked marijuana from a water bottle.

One of them gave the officer consent to search her part of the room, where he found a Powerade bottle stuffed with a small white towel and white laundry dryer sheets. There was a small hole at

the bottom of the bottle with a strong odor of marijuana. Lopez placed the item into property and evidence.

Even if an item isn’t involved in a case, lost and found items are logged and kept in the same Property and Evidence section.

On Nov. 14, a longboard was found near Sky View apartments and turned into UAPD. Officer Canti placed it into property and evidence. If property is not claimed in over 90 days, an email is sent out to the owner to pick the property up. Then, if he or she fails to do so, their items are turned over to The University Surplus Property Office.

Online grieving can be tacky Alexandra Bortnik ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

M

ost Facebook users are familiar with the attention seeking, post-heartbreak Facebook statuses that attempt to reclaim one’s independence by reassuring the world that the user “loves life” or is “feeling free!”

Users often quote song lyrics to inform friends of “all the crazy s*** (they) did tonight,” and how “those will be the best memories,” hoping to make their former partners cringe.

While grieving through Facebook is often harmless, Joshua Simon Ashby, a 20-year-old from New Zealand, took this therapeutic practice too far by posting a nude photograph of his ex-girlfriend on her Facebook page.

After Ashby posted the photograph, he proceeded to hack into his ex-girlfriend’s account and change her settings to make the photograph available to more than 500 million people, then went so far as to change her password so she couldn’t remove it.

Ashby pled guilty to distributing indecent material and will serve four months in jail.

Judge Andrew Becroft said “Ashby posted the photo in an ‘irresponsible drunken jealous rage’ after the breakup of their five-month relationship,” according to The Dominion Post.

Ironically, Ashby attempted to hide his face with a piece of paper while receiving his sentence in an effort to avoid being photographed. Becroft permitted Ashby’s photograph to be taken because “there was a certain symmetry to it.”

Although Ashby’s actions stepped far outside the boundaries of desperate statuses and claims to singlehood, he’s a frightening example of how easy the Internet makes it for someone else to gain control over another person’s life.

All social network users are guilty of manipulating their image and controlling what other people see. Although this isn’t as dramatic as Ashby’s actions, changing one’s profile picture, uploading certain albums and updating statuses are all forms of manipulation that control the way others view us. The power of one’s control isn’t limited to one’s profile; the architecture of one’s Facebook page can shape the image of another “friend” as well.

If an ex-girlfriend changes her profile picture to a photograph of her and another guy, she’s aiming to make the ex-lover jealous and have friends believe that she’s moved on.

Another prime example is the beginning period of one’s freshman year of college.

The fears of new friendships and adapting are sometimes remedied by the art of designing one’s Facebook. As a freshman, you party hop, camera in hand, and capture as many moments as those sloppy hands will allow. The next morning, your Facebook is cluttered with new faces, unrecognizable to old high school friends, and most likely foreign to you as well. Regardless, you’ve started defining your college self through Facebook and have old friends wondering who’s that?

Now, take those photos and add statuses, quotes, and wall posts — all tools for crafting one’s image. We all design an image for ourselves by adding and subtracting what we want people to see and what we don’t want them to see.

Whether you’re grieving or on top of the world, the urge to voice that to all your “friends” is, quite frankly, pathetic and most likely unfulfilling. To be fair, sharing moments and connecting with friends is the point of social networks like Facebook, and all users are guilty of over-sharing happy occasions. But when it comes to grieving, regardless of the loss, advertising it detracts from whatever meaning that relationship once had or still has.

The moment the world sees a “living the life,” right next to your broken heart symbol on your news feed, we all know that you’re not living the life and that you’re particularly upset and angry because you felt the need to share your mood with hundreds, maybe thousands, of “friends.” Online identities create a mask for people, giving them destructive confidence and anonymity that often leads to rash and inappropriate decisions. If nothing else, be wary of Facebook feuds, and keep your personal life personal.

Letters from

Mallory Hawkins ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Fellow pilgrim wannabes, f you’ve spent any time in a department store lately, you might be convinced otherwise, but Thanksgiving, not Christmas, is a mere week away. Generally, during this time of year, I am so caught up in writing papers and studying for finals that the only thing I am thankful for is a night with more than five hours of sleep. But this year, I would like to pay homage to the things for which I, as a UA student, am eternally thankful.

1. Facebook’s Live News Feed — I am grateful for the alibi this feature provides me.

When my friends ask how I know that Hottie McHott has a new girlfriend, I no longer have to admit that rather than writing any one of my five-page papers due next week, I spent three hours creeping on Facebook last night. I can simply say, “Oh yeah, I think I saw that on my news feed” and no one will question it.

2. People running to class with backpacks bouncing in every direction — Thank you for reminding me that there are priorities far more important than caring about what people think of you.

3. College Fashion — I am willing to bet good money that what is acceptable in college would be severely frowned upon in the work force. Don’t believe me? Tell me then, when was the last time you saw a businessman wearing a tank top and high socks with vans?

I am sure it was around the same time you saw a powerful woman in the workforce wearing stretched-out spandex mistakenly worn as pants with a bun on top of her head that screams, “I haven’t washed my hair in at least a week.” So the next time you put

on your jorts or Uggs, you can be thankful you’re in college and consequently expected to disregard everything you have ever learned about fashion.

4. Entertainment on the Mall — In a world where few things are guaranteed, I am thankful that I can always look to the UA Mall to provide some type of amusement.

I could simply say “Brother Jed” and my point would be made, but I would feel terrible excluding last Tuesday’s choral performance by people dressed as Pilgrims.

5. Brutally honest friends — When everyone else is worried about hurting my feelings or embarrassing me, you keep me in check. Your tough love has prevented me from a number of poor life and fashion decisions.

Even though I may not respond well to you telling me my favorite jacket is the ugliest thing since boots with the fur, I appreciate your honesty. Without you, I would likely be a hot mess.

6. Canceled class — Not even Chuck Bass finally telling Blair Waldorf he loves her sounds as good as “no class tomorrow.” OK, that was a lie, but you get my point. Even if it is in the middle of the day or between classes, a canceled class feels like the freedom our Founding Fathers described.

7. UA Football — Thank you, boys and coaches, for bringing your game this year.

Even though my love for the Wildcats is unconditional, I must admit attending a school with a ranked football team is better than the alternative. Infinitely better than being ranked, though, would be moving past our recent losses and

CAT TRACKS

finishing the season with some Ws. 8. Theme parties — I live by the motto, “No matter the question, costumes are always a good answer.” If every day had a theme and I had to plan my outfits accordingly, I would be ecstatic. Thankfully, college provides us with countless opportunities to create outrageous costumes, rather than having to wait to be parents and force our children to dress in the costumes we never got to wear.

9. Trusty jeans — Keeping up with the demands of college life can take its toll on your body. Because of this, a dependable wardrobe staple should not be overlooked.

I am grateful that through thick and thin (pun intended), I can always count on my jeans to fit well and look good.

10. My mom — I stopped counting the number of times I have called my mom this semester to tell her that, even though I didn’t fail out of college like I once thought I would, I am probably going to fail at finding a job after graduation, but I would estimate it is upwards of 20 times. Instead of saying I’m crazy if I think she is going to let her money go to waste like that (which is the obvious reaction), or that I should have considered the job market before choosing to study communication and religious studies, she remains supportive.

So thank you, Mom, for helping me keep my sanity and believing in me. Even if I am working at McDonalds, I will find a way to take care of you when you’re old.

People who take abstinence seriously: In the latest attempt to appeal to those hip youngsters who allow themselves to be unduly swayed by the oversaturation of sex in the media, everyone’s favorite unwed teenage mother Bristol Palin appeared in an anti-sex ad with Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino of “Jersey Shore” infamy.

Now, the very idea of a man who is vain enough to call his abdominal muscles “The Situation” telling children they shouldn’t have uninhibited, emotionless sex is laughable enough, but the awkwardness of including Bristol Palin is what really makes the ad shine. In fact, the only thing more awkward would be if Bristol Palin’s mom were a staunch abstinence advocate. Wait …

Fresno State student president is in US illegally MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE FRESNO, Calif. — Pedro Ramirez is best known as Fresno State’s student-body president.

Far less public is his status as an undocumented immigrant — at least, until this week. That’s when an anonymous email, sent to media outlets, prompted Ramirez to confirm publicly that fact.

Reaction on campus to Ramirez’s legal status was mild. A receptionist at the Associated Students Inc. student government office said she’d fielded some calls, but nearly all were from journalists seeking interviews with Ramirez.

Many students said they didn’t know who Ramirez was and hadn’t formed an opinion. But a few people on campus said his legal status didn’t matter.

Kenneth Russell, 20, of Fresno, said he didn’t have a problem with how Ramirez arrived in the United States. Psychology professor Michael Botwin said he attended two meetings with Ramirez on Wednesday and the subject of his legal status didn’t surface.

Botwin called it a tough issue, particularly as the state reduces funding to public universities.

“I think people like him who are brought here have challenges that

are extraordinary,” Botwin said.

“It’s kind of hard to deny someone who’s been here that long an opportunity. . . . It’s a sticky issue.”

Ramirez, 22, of Tulare, Calif., said he was born in Mexico and brought across the border by his family when he was 3. It was only as a high school senior that Ramirez learned his situation and grasped what it meant.

He couldn’t get a job. He couldn’t join the military. He couldn’t qualify for public financial aid.

The email that prompted Ramirez to acknowledge his status questioned why he wasn’t being paid as Associated Students president.

Ramirez said he waived the pay of about $800 a month because he knew he couldn’t collect it.

Ramirez said he didn’t realize there would be a salary when he ran last spring. Associated Students qualifications do not address citizenship status, so Ramirez was not prohibited from running for office, officials said.

Wednesday, Fresno State President John Welty issued a statement saying that Ramirez notified him and others about his immigration status shortly after the election.

Ramirez said he is paying for college through private scholarships that don’t ask about residency sta-

tus and odd jobs such as mowing lawns.

He is enrolled at Fresno State under a state law that allows undocumented immigrants who have attended a California high school for three years to pay in-state tuition at public colleges. The state Supreme Court this week upheld the statute, which applies to an estimated 25,000 students.

Paul Oliaro, vice president for student affairs, said there are probably several hundred students on campus under the law. To his knowledge, Ramirez is the first undocumented student to serve as president.

Shane Moreman, a communication professor and president of Fresno State’s Latina/o Faculty and Staff Association, said there isn’t any way to know how many undocumented students are on campus, because many fear repercussions if they reveal that information.

Ramirez is helping to organize an on-campus rally Friday in support of the federal DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act. The legislation pending in Congress would allow some longtime residents like him to become legal U.S. residents after spending two years in college or the military.

for the common good are now being paid for by those who receive the benefits,” Richardson said of the fees situation on campus and in the community.

The presentation told the effective strategies for improving student retention, further engaging the Tucson community outside of campus and changing the UA’s relationship with its local and state government leadership.

“There is no necessary tradeoff between diversity and quality,” Mitchnick said. The diversity they were stressing lies in backgrounds and perspectives, rather than an ethnic indicator. No “quotas or checklists,” Richardson said, would be necessary.

Eva Izhieman, a Women’s Resource Center student co-director, presented a week of events for next March. The events would focus around the center’s effort to work tangentially with the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty and promote positive body image on campus.

Although some concerns were expressed, Sen. Dominick San Angelo felt that this request fell into the precedent set by Pride Alliance of ASUA groups asking for senate funds. But because the Women’s Resource Center budget had no yearly increase

and this request wasn’t annual, the senate could pass it.

Sen. Jeff Adams abstained, but all other senators voted to give the center $300.

Sen. Taylor Bilby struck her funds request for Tanzbödeli, the April 1, 2011, arts and culture festival, from discussion at the meeting for a later date.

Other things ASUA is up to …

— Sen. Scott Rising is meeting with ASUA President Emily Fritze to discuss a senate grant program, where sections of ASUA could apply for out of the senate’s budget.

— Rising and Sen. Mary Myles, who sit on curriculum and administration councils around campus, announced the possible abolishment of the INDV, NATS and TRAD prefixes on general education classes.

Instead they would be labeled by department.

— ASUA members past and present are meeting with prospective candidates on Nov. 23 at 5 p.m. in the Tucson Room of the Student Union Memorial Center to explain campaigning, elections and what exactly ASUA does for the student body.

— Another free FAFSA forum for students is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 13, 2011.

Azerbaijan aided America after 9/11, troops fight with US

How would you characterize relations between the U.S. and Azerbaijan?

“We believe that they are a strategic partnership, and we would like to see them as a strategic partnership. And that has been often reinforced. You know that our troops are in Afghanistan and we have fought alongside U.S. troops in Iraq.

Azerbaijan was one of the first nations to offer its support after 9/11. It’s a very close relationship. I think we can never be too complacent. We need to work more to make it happen … America has no ambassador in Azerbaijan for over a year, and that is not a healthy situation.”

“Not in a direct sense … If we think someone’s policy complies with international law and serves our nation’s interests, whether they are Muslims, or Christians or Jews it doesn’t matter. So that’s why Azerbaijan supported the U.S. operation in Iraq. We thought it was a reasonable attempt to provide long-term stability in the region. And

that’s why we support the NATO effort in Afghanistan … Where we actually have a concern is that the U.S. is not showing enough effort on bringing about a peaceful settlement to Armenia (the two nations are in conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region) … We believe the U.S. can do more and should do more in pressuring Armenia to help us find a solution to the conflict.”

UAPD is hit by a rock

An unknown person threw a small rock at a glass window on Sunday, at about 3:30 a.m., breaking a window at the main entrance of the University of Arizona Police Department.

At 6:23 a.m., an officer went to the main entrance of the UAPD lobby to see the criminal damage. A small, white rock appeared to be what was thrown. It was about five by three inches with a very rough surface.

The window was a double pane; so the rock did not go all the way through, only damaging the outside glass. The entrance of the UAPD main station is surrounded by numerous 24 square inch windows like this one. The rock was found lying on the ground about eight feet from the front door. There were also small pieces of rock on the ground that had chipped off from the impact. There were no similar rocks in the area.

A UAPD employee reported that she heard a loud bang coming from the lobby at about 3:30 a.m. After officers checked the surveillance camera, they found no signs of criminal activity at that time. Nothing unusual was found inside of the lobby either.

Due to the location of the window and it being dark outside, the damage was not noticed until another employee arrived to work at about 5:58 a.m.

An officer took photos of the damaged window and UA Facilities department was contacted so that they could clean up and repair it.

Darkness falls in the deathly hallows

Sometime between Saturday and Monday, two white plastic light covers were broken at the UA Visitor Center.

At 9:40 a.m., on Monday, a UA employee reported the light covers that light up the sidewalk on the north side of the Visitor Center were broken off the light poles. Both of the light covers were round and about the same size as basketballs. After the damage, they looked as if they had been hit with a stick. The value of them is unknown. Only one of the two light bulbs worked and both poles were intact.

Unattended camera bag is stolen

A camera bag that belonged to a student was reported stolen on Monday at 4 p.m.

The bag contained a stabilizer for the camera, a charger and a sideline pass to football games. The student said he had been taking pictures and left his bag unattended at around 11:45 a.m. on Saturday. Half an hour later, he returned to pick up his belongings and realized they were gone.

Missing your sandwich?

A lunchbox was found on the CatTran and turned into UAPD on Monday, at about 4:26 p.m. It was a black and blue lunchbox with a white trim. Inside of it were an icepack and a sandwich. The item was collected and placed into property and evidence as found property.

Getting physical

By Bryan Roy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The “Shake and Bake” attitude that drove Ricky Bobby to a successful NASCAR career might be making a comeback.

It’s Scrap and Battle, a campaign Jesse Perry quietly coined yesterday when asked why Sean Miller considers him the missing piece to last year’s Arizona men’s basketball team.

Perry, a junior college transfer from St. Louis, Mo., has earned a role off the bench as the “high energy” guy who can provide Miller depth and experience.

But his demeanor goes beyond fresh legs and long dreadlocks.

“Shot goes up, we want him to be good at both ends,” Miller said yesterday. “Jesse knows that energy level that we really covet, he’s a big part of that.”

Perry began high school as a three-sport athlete, but quit football after two games because of his height — opponents went after his knees. In the baseballloving — and NBA-less — city of St. Louis, Mo., Perry also played baseball, but remembers staying up late to watch Arizona basketball games on television.

“I don’t know what I was doing up,” Perry joked. “But they always ran my style of play. Just for some reason it was always a school I grew up watching.”

Miller said he has recruited “just a couple” junior college transfers, but every season brings a new situation and need for dynamic niche players.

Perry was a situation Miller wanted: one who could crash boards, set screens and care more about the team than his personal role.

“You could make the case that you almost want more of that type of player,” Miller said. “We were fortunate enough to sign that class of five (freshmen last season), so Jesse provides balance in an older player, someone who is rugged physically.”

The rugged Perry has sparked senior Jamelle Horne. Both compete for minutes on the court at the same forward position.

“Just looking at last year’s team, they were so young, I don’t think they had a guy that could scrap and was ready to battle every time,” Perry added. “I was just ready to go hard and compete against everyone, no matter the size or anyone.”

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona football owns the lowest graduation rate among student athletes in the Pacific 10 Conference, but Wildcats junior kicker John Bonano is an exception. Bonano, a physiology major, owns the highest GPA in the Pac-10 (3.90) and earned firstteam Pac-10 All-Academic honors on Tuesday. The Arizona Daily Wildcat caught up with Bonano to talk about his class schedule, his road to Arizona and his basketball skills.

Daily Wildcat: So what was your reaction to finding out you have the highest GPA among Pac10 players?

John Bonano: It was pretty surprising, I hadn’t expected it or anything but it’s exciting to hear.

My dad actually told me about it this morning, called me up. He was excited about it and then a couple of the coaches said congrats to me today, so it was cool.

DW: Are you the smartest guy on the team? Some people say (that it’s) David Roberts with his aerospace engineering major.

JB: He’s a different major than me, so maybe in different areas, but I mean I’ve got the highest GPA right now so I can hopefully keep it up.

DW: What’s your class schedule like?

Arizona treks to Ole Miss Butts brings Wildats to SEC country

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After getting off to a fast start, the Arizona women’s basketball team faces its first stiff test of the season tonight when the Wildcats step away from McKale Center to take on Ole Miss tonight.

Head coach Niya Butts leads the Wildcats (2-0) to Oxford, Miss., in Arizona’s second road trip of the season after needing overtime to knock off Wichita State University 81-72 in the season opener.

“We’re starting to see what we can do if we put all the pieces together,” Butts said. “Playing a more athletic and faster team in Ole Miss, we’re going to have to take care of the basketball. We’re going to need our offensive possessions.”

Junior college transfer Jesse Perry has brought a new attitude and toughness to the Arizona basketball program. The forward’s rebounding will be key when the Wildcats take on New Mexico State tonight in McKale Center.

Perry goes hard against Horne, who’s a little taller (6-foot-7) and more athletic. On Sunday’s win against Idaho State, Horne played 18 minutes, scored 5 points and grabbed 5 rebounds.

Perry’s a little more physical and inspiring. He played 15 minutes and scored 8 points and grabbed 5 rebounds on Sunday. “(Horne) never really had someone to go in there and push him everyday and he’s getting better by the day,” Perry said.

“Really showing a lot of progress, we’ll be good at that spot.”

Miller’s three keys to the game

Arizona begins a stretch of five games in 10 days when they welcome New Mexico State to McKale Center tonight. Here are Miller’s three keys to the game: 1. Confidence: The Aggies came within three points from knocking off No. 5-seeded

Michigan State in the 2010 NCAA Tournament first round.

“When you experience postseason success, those guys expect to win,” Miller said.

2. Troy Gillenwater: He’s a 6-foot-8 wing who’s hit 7-for13 3-pointers this season. “New Mexico State thrives in transition, they shoot the 3 extremely well,” Miller said.

3. Offensive boards: “Last year there were a number of teams that punished us when a shot went up,” Miller said.

have tormented Arizona so far in the young season. The Wildcats have given the ball away 39 times so far through two games.

This will also be Arizona’s first trip into somewhat of a hostile environment at Ole Miss (2-0), but senior forward Soana Lucet doesn’t think that will be much of an issue.

“I think it’ll be the same as Wichita State, but just more intense,” Lucet said. “I don’t think any of us haven’t been in an atmosphere where a lot of people have been (there), so I think we’ll do pretty well.”

Foul trouble is also something that has plagued Arizona, but senior Ify Ibekwe — who picked up four fouls in only 19 minutes W-HOOPS, page A12

Back to basics Football fine-tunes fundamentals during bye week

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Although this weekend is a bye for Arizona football, the Wildcats still have a lot to improve upon after a 24-21 loss to USC on Saturday. Head coach Mike Stoops said after the loss that the all phases of game needed to take the week to improve before playing Oregon Nov. 25. Here’s what the offense, defense and special teams have been up to.

The offense

With its recent health struggles, the offense needs all the preparation and rest it can get.

Wide receivers David Roberts and William “Bug” Wright, and running back Nic Grigsby did not play against the Trojans last week.

“You’re always scared about a bye week. You’re playing well and you get a bye week and then you’re not playing so well and you get a bye week, will it get better?” said quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo. “I think it’s hard, but this bye week is helping us get some bumps and bruises — get over those. Get some guys healthy again. Refocus on basic fundamentals.“ Stoops said that quarterback Matt Scott will most likely be ready to go this weekend at Oregon if called upon, and the bye week will give him a chance to get back into game time preparation before the team faces the Ducks.

The bye week has also given Scelfo the chance to go back and evaluate quarterback Nick Foles, and fix some aspects that weren’t

Wide receiver William “Bug” Wright was a dependable receiver for quarterback Nick Foles for most of the season before struggling through the last few games with injuries. Getting Wright and the rest of the injured players healthy is a top priority during the bye.

present against USC and Stanford.

“Every quarterback has a specific deficiency that they’ve been working on for theses three days,” said quarterback’s coach Frank Scelfo.

“Our goals this week is each individual quarterback has to — it might be a release point, it might be depth on the drops, it might be footwork in the run game — every guy, we identify something before practice every day.”

The defense

While the defense will also benefit from the chance to rest up and get healthy, co-defensive

coordinator Tim Kish isn’t taking any time off.

“We really went about our routine in pretty much the same way.

We start with our film evaluations and break down their personnel groups, formations and gives us some extra time to get acquainted with them a little bit more,” Kish said.

The Wildcats will welcome all the familiarity they can get with Oregon’s high-flying, fast paced offensive attack, which ranks first nationally in scoring and total offense. Arizona’s defense showed that is can be stout, but recently it has fallen short against the

Pacific 10 Conference’s elite.

Kish said that while the bye week has been helpful for Arizona’s defense, he expects Oregon to bring a few surprises as well.

“You’re going to assume that they’re going to come out with something in their bye week, as well, that we haven’t seen yet,” Kish said.

Wally Skalij/Los Angeles Times

Washington quarterback Jake Locker, 10, breaks away from USC cornerback Shareece Wright to pick up yards in the third quarter at the Coliseum in Los Angeles, Calif., on Oct. 2. Washington defeated the Trojans, 32-31.

Locker set to play for Washington on Senior Night MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS SEATTLE — Washington quarterback Jake Locker said earlier this week that he couldn’t imagine not playing in his last game at Husky Stadium on Thursday against UCLA. He no longer has to worry after receiving medical clearance Tuesday night to take the field against the Bruins for the 5 p.m.

PST kickoff.

Locker practiced all week after sitting out the previous two weeks of workouts, and a game at Oregon on Nov. 6, with a broken rib. And after Tuesday’s practice, doctors examined Locker one more time and pronounced him good to go.

In the kind of thing that makes it clear that the days of Don James have long passed, UW coach Steve Sarkisian announced the news on his Twitter page around 7 p.m.

And no doubt the ESPN telecast will fixate on the game being the last at home for Locker, the boy-wonder from Ferndale who committed to UW in July of 2005, immediately deemed as the savior of the Huskies program.

But 16 other seniors will also make their last run through the tunnel Thursday.

Eight of those are starters, including the likes of linebackers Mason Foster and Victor Aiyewa, safety Nate Williams and receiver D’Andre Goodwin.

It’s a group whose ultimate legacy remains to be written.

Fifteen of the seniors are players brought to UW by Tyrone Willingham.

And while they arrived envisioning winning seasons and bowl games with a program that seemed on the upswing with a 5-7 record in 2006, they have instead weathered a coaching change and more rebuilding.

Sarkisian this week said that perseverance makes this group stand out.

“I think for these guys what they signed up for 4 to 5 years ago is different than what they are doing now,” Sarkisian said.

“And to their credit, from the moment I stepped onto this campus, they have been extremely willing to accept the things that we’ve tried to do and to battle through the adversity to show the mental toughness that they have shown. By no means has their career been easy and in a sense it makes me respect them almost maybe more than some other senior classes that I’ve

been around because of what they have been through.”

Sarkisian says he thinks a fitting ending is winning the last three games and getting UW into a bowl game, which would be the program’s first since 2002 and stamp this class as the one that began to truly turn things around.

“For me, I just would like to see them be able to ride off into the sunset the way they hoped they would when they arrived on this campus,” he said.

Players, though, say that while things may not have gone as they would drawn it up, they aren’t full of regret.

“I think in life, anything that’s bad, you always learn something good from it,” said center Greg Christine, who came to UW as a walk-on but has been on scholarship the last two years. “ And I think this is one of those cases where you learn how to work hard and you learn that not everything comes easy. It’s definitely been a hard road to get to where we want to be. And we still aren’t there yet.”

That goals and games remain allows the players to not totally dwell on the impending end of their careers, even if it’s hard to ignore.

Earls getting reps at punter

games for Arizona, special teams have struggled with punting, field goal conversions, and field position. And special teams coordinator Jeff Hammerschmidt is doing whatever it takes to make improvements, even if it means changing personnel this late in the season.

“Your basic fundamentals.

We’re trying to get some other guys kind of in the rotation a little bit,” Hammerschmidt said.

“This late in the season where we’re at, we think we have to up the ante a little bit.”

Kicker Alex Zendejas will

start doing pooch-punting duties for kicker Keenan Crier, a move which Hammerschmidt said was due to Zenedejas’ ability to execute the kicks.

Linebacker Derek Earls may even see time as punter.

“You know, I almost threw him in last game, but I caught myself,” Hammerschmidt. “I didn’t do it, but he directional kicks really well land hang time and any time you’re playing teams that have big returners, hang time is real important. Plus, it’s an extra guy who can tackle.”

It’s official: The Beatles are on iTunes McClatchy Tribune LOS ANGELES — Nearly a decade after Apple Inc. introduced iTunes, the digital downloading service has finally acquired the music of the Beatles.

Apple on Tuesday rolled out the Fab Four ’s music for legal downloading for the first time, offering 17 albums encompassing all 13 of the group’s original studio albums, the two “Past Masters� collections of non-album tracks, two doublealbum hits compilations and a box set including everything except the hits collections.

Individual tracks are being sold for $1.29, the single albums for $12.99, double sets for $19.99, and the box set is priced at $149. The digital box set also includes an exclusive-to-iTunes concert film, “Live at

Research continued from page A1

Washington Coliseum, 1964,� never previously released officially. “We’re really excited to bring the Beatles’ music to iTunes,� Paul McCartney said in a statement issued Tuesday. “It’s fantastic to see the songs we originally released on vinyl receive as much love in the digital world as they did the first time around.� “I am particularly glad to no longer be asked when the Beatles are coming to iTunes,� Ringo Starr added in the same statement. “At last, if you want it — you can get it now.�

Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs said, “It has been a long and winding road to get here. Thanks to the Beatles and EMI, we are now realizing a dream we’ve had since we launched iTunes 10 years ago.�

The Beatles have been the biggest holdout from the iTunes world, but several other major acts still have not

licensed music to the downloading service, including Garth Brooks, Kid Rock, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Tool and Bob Seger.

Shortly after the 2007 resolution of a long-standing dispute between the Beatles’ Apple Corps and Jobs’ Apple Inc., another lawsuit was settled between Apple Corps and EMI Records dispute over royalty payments that Apple said was owed by EMI. Last year Paul McCartney said the only hurdle to posting the group’s music online was remaining differences between EMI and Apple Corps’ “principals�: himself, Ringo Starr, John Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, and George Harrison’s widow, Olivia Harrison. The settlement of those issues led to the posting on iTunes in recent weeks of the non-Beatles Apple Records catalog, which led to considerable specula-

tion that the Beatles music wouldn’t be far behind.

Most Beatles watchers felt it was just a matter of time until the group’s music became available for downloading following the digital remastering of the entire catalog last year. That music was released on individual CDs and in two box sets that sold strongly during the final quarter of 2009.

EMI and Capitol also recently reissued two hits “best-of� compilations that originally appeared in 1973: “The Beatles/1962-1966� and “The Beatles/1967-1970,� aka the “Red� and “Blue� albums. “It’s great to see Apple finally joining civilization here in 2010,� said Chris Carter, host of the long-running “Breakfast With the Beatles� program on KLOS-FM in Southern California and on Sirius XM Satellite radio.

Students across the UA campus might have seen “Across the Universe,� or downloaded “Yellow Submarine� from a friend. However, news that the Beatles would now be featured on iTunes was just that — new. Students had many different reactions, but what was most prevalent was fans that had the music of the iconic 1960s rock band already in their music libraries.

Jennifer Travis Major: Pre-business “I didn’t even realize that hadn’t happened yet. I guess it’s cool, but I have the CDs, I have the music, so I wouldn’t really use it.�

Giorgi Flagello Major: Biology “My whole family has been a fan of The Beatles so I’ve grown up with their music. So, I have all of the CDs and everything.�

Researchers find experience invaluable

only undergraduates in the lab with 15 to 20 people, a rather large one, since most have nine people.

This semester, Cromer is working 15 hours a week for around $10 or $12 an hour, he said.

Going into college, Cromer thought of becoming a medical doctor. Work in the lab changed that for him. He is now thinking of going to graduate school for research or law school with emphasis in the patent field.

Cromer has done 750 echocardiograms on mice since March of last year.

“I’ve been having a blast with it,� he said, “I really enjoy everything about the research that I do.�

For him, research’s uses are one of the most rewarding aspects of this work. “Now I can do these surgeries, the echos and lasers, all bunch of different muscle mechanics, dissections. The longer you’re in lab the more things you learn,� he said.

Nina Martin, a junior studying molecular and cellular biology, has been conducting research in a smaller lab with associate professor Melissa Halpern. They

study the causes of a neonatal intestine infection, doing microsurgeries on mice.

Martin started working there right after her freshman year.

She was “still kind of green,� she said, and when she started “(it) was totally different from any lab class I’d ever taken.�

Working for around 12 hours a week, she makes $10 an hour, but she would “probably be doing this without the incentive of money.�

The skills she learned could help her get a job as a technician, even without a graduate degree,

she said. It also helped define her career path. “When I came in, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do ‌ I didn’t even know if I liked science. This really has solidified that I want to do science and I like research. So I want to go to grad school and continue the learning process,â€? Martin said.

In her fourth year working at a lab, junior Aubri Carman is working on her thesis project.

While Carman grows bacteria, harvests data and does literary reviews, working with research

has taught her much more.

Networking, having professional responsibilities as a student and using high-tech instruments that only staff usually has access to are some of things she gained from the experience.

Though she is working for credit as part of her project, as a freshman Carman got a paid position by just emailing a professor.

Now, because budgets are being cut, “paid positions are really hard to come by, especially now because professors aren’t really getting a lot of funding,� she said.

Kick-off specialist John Bonano emerged early in 2009 as a field position ace, but his work in the classroom is what separates him from the rest of the pack.

Forward Soana Lucet’s leadership and defensive abilities will be crucial when the Wildcats travel to take on Ole Miss tonight. The Lady Rebels, out of the Southeastern Conference, will be the first team from a major athletic conference that Arizona will face this season.

Q&A continued from page A7

Junior chose kicking over D-III basketball

JB: It’s pretty tough, I’m taking physics right now, Physiology 201 and then just a couple Gen eds, so I’ve got a tough schedule.

DW: So why did you ultimately decide to come to Arizona?

JB: The (full-ride) academic scholarship was ultimately it. Some other schools offered me the scholarship, but, out of all of them, I narrowed it down to Arizona.

I wasn’t planning on playing a sport but I just decided to walk on here and it worked out for me.

DW: What other schools offered you the scholarship?

JB: Texas offered me it, Alabama, Florida, a bunch of other schools out east, and Arizona was closest to home (California).

I was also thinking of going to some Division-III schools for basketball, but I ended up just making the money here.

DW: So did you kick in high school?

JB: I kicked, played basketball and did track, so I didn’t really focus on kicking until I decided to come here and walk on, and then I really started focusing on it.

DW: So what was your main sport in high school?

JB: Basketball mainly, I mean I played travel basketball, went to Vegas for tournaments and stuff. I was a power forward, slash wing, and just kind of kicked because no on else could do it.

I knew at this level, at this school, kicking was probably the only thing I could do so I started focusing on that more my senior year, went to a couple camps and stuff.

DW: Did you ever think about trying to walk on the basketball team here?

JB: No, not here. The guys here are huge, 6-foot-8 at my position, so I just stuck to the kicking.

DW: What’s it like being a kicker, do you see any of the position players ever?

JB: Yeah, we see them around, we have special teams meetings, we’re all in there together. But obviously we hang out as a special teams unit, as the kickers on the sideline. We’re kind of our own little unit within the team.

Freshman phenom Warthen returns home

against NAU — says that she can’t let that affect her play.

“I just try to be aggressive every game,” Ibekwe said. “I get kind of down sometimes because I feel like I’m not there for my team, but I’d rather be aggressive. I don’t like fouling or fouling out, but I’m just going to continue going out and playing my game.”

Warthen’s homecoming

Candice Warthen, a freshman guard from Warrenton, Ga., isn’t going home

this weekend as much as home is coming to her. She says that several family members are making the almost 24-hour drive to Oxford, Miss.

“It’s closer to home and I’m going to have family there, and I’m ready,” Warthen said. “They say they’re taking a van, so I guess there’s going to be a vanload of people there.”

Arizona takes on Ole Miss tonight at 6 p.m. before returning home to take on the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff on Monday in the Wildcats’ final tuneup before the Cancun Thanksgiving Classic.
