Tips for migrating Wildcats N. Korea By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Students traveling home for the Thanksgiving holiday today or tomorrow should keep a few things in mind. Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest travel time of the year, with an estimated 24 million people utilizing air travel, according to the Air Transport Association . Passengers are encouraged to arrive 90 minutes prior to their plane’s departure.

Parking at the airport is offered on a daily basis, with cost varying depending on parking locations. Rates range from $4 to $9 per day, and shuttles run from some of the more distant lots to the terminal. Private companies also offer parking farther away from the terminal with varying rates. For information on longterm parking at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport , contact the airport at 602-273-4545 . Protests have been planned

for Wednesday at Sky Harbor International Airport regarding the new security measures. The Transportation Security Administration is also stepping up security screening during the holiday, and urges travelers to remember that all liquids and gels must be able to fit in one clear, onequart sized sealable bag inside carry-on luggage. No single item in that bag is allowed to be larger than three ounces. These limitations do not apply to bags stored in

checked luggage. The TSA also warns travelers not to wrap gifts they are bringing, since those packages may need to be opened by security in case additional screening is required.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

SEOUL — North Korea on Tuesday fired dozens of artillery rounds onto a populated South Korean island, killing two and injuring 19 others after Pyongyang claimed that Seoul was readying for “an invasion,” officials said. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak called an emergency session of his national security-related ministers in an underground bunker at the presidential residence late Tuesday to devise a response to the attack, which occurred near the disputed western border between North and South. The Seoul government later called North Korea’s artillery attack a “clear military provocation” and warned that the secretive regime would face “stern retaliation” should it

Trouble in Toyland

Arizona PIRG reports on gifts to skip during holiday shopping By Rebecca Rillos ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT As shoppers gear up for Black Friday, the Trouble in Toyland report gives some suggestions as to what shouldn’t be on Santa’s list. The 25th annual Trouble in Toyland report, released Tuesday, alerts consumers to the potentially dangerous toys on store shelves. “Trouble in Toyland helps identify some of the choking and toxic hazards that are on toy shelves in Arizona and across the country,” said Diane E. Brown, executive director of Arizona Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund. “The information is designed to let parents and other consumers know what to look out for so that the holiday season is full of pleasure and not pain for a young child.”

“Choking hazards are the leading cause of (toyrelated) death and injury, with the exception of motorized vehicles.” — Cassie Tomlin Representative Arizona PIRG Education Fund The Arizona PIRG Education Fund releases the report every year on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, just in time to alert consumers before the holiday shopping rush. The report details the main dangers of toys: choking hazards and toxins such as lead, antimony and phthalates. “Choking hazards are the leading cause of (toyrelated) death and injury, with the exception of motorized vehicles,” said Cassie Tomlin, a representative of Arizona PIRG

Cassie Tomlin, representative for the Arizona Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), presents the group’s findings of its 25th Annual Survey of Toy Safety in Tucson Medical Center’s Pediatric Emergency Lobby on Tuesday. The survey contains information on choking hazards and harmful chemicals such as lead and antimony, as well as the state of U.S. policy concerning toy hazards.

Education Fund who delivered the report at a news conference at Tucson Medical Center. Tomlin demonstrated the hazards of some of the toys in this year’s report, including a “Dora the Explorer” backpack containing toxic phthalates. Tomlin explained that the Consumer Product Safety Commission only regulates phthalates in toys intended for teething or mouthing. “Just because it’s not made to be put in someone’s mouth doesn’t mean a child won’t put their mouth on it,” Tomlin said. Another toy detailed in the report was a Fisher Price “Handy Manny” construction playset. The set contains small parts but no choking hazard warning. Tomlin demonstrated

a choke test cylinder the Consumer Product Safety Commission uses on small parts. A part in the playset was slightly larger than the test cylinder. “Children have still choked on toys that don’t fit in the cylinder,” Tomlin said. “A toilet paper roll is a more reliable test.” The news conference also focused on the new website, toysafety.mobi. “The website will provide tips for parents and other consumers, a copy of the report and will also

allow parents and other consumers the opportunity to report a toy that they may think is unsafe for further investigation,” Brown said.

A man was screaming and running in the nude when neighbors reported his behavior to the Tucson Police Department sometime around 10 p.m. on Nov. 1. He has not yet been located by officers. The suspect is believed to have been under the influence of PCP, a psychotropic drug also known as “angel dust,” according to Robert Szelewski, who has worked as a drug recognition expert for TPD. The man was described as black with a mustache and an afro -hairstyle. Katy Demaine, a UA biology sophomore, called 911 after hearing bizarre noises outside her home on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Waverly Street. “I was sitting on my couch and I thought (the shouting) was my roommate’s TV,” she said. “But PCP, page 3

Campus Health: Scale back on treats Winter indulgences contribute to college weight gain

COMING TOMORROW

Turkey Day

Many students going home for Thanksgiving are looking forward to stuffing themselves with holiday dishes and treats. One day of excessive eating has little effect on overall health, according to Hana Feeney, nutrition counselor for Campus Health Service. Consistently indulging throughout the holiday season, however, can lead to unwanted pounds. “If you’re overeating and stuffing yourself the whole week you’re home?”

Feeney asked. “That’s maybe not so good.” Most adults gain about one or two pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, according to a 2000 National Institutes of Health study. Though this number may be less than many people expect, Feeney said the extra pounds accumulate throughout the years. “That two to five pound gain doesn’t automatically come off on the first of January,” she said. Feeney said many college students gain a few pounds each year and up to 10 pounds by the time they graduate. “A lot of that gain, particularly in college students, comes

between the Thanksgiving and Halloween time to coming home from winter break,” Feeney said. Feeney said people are conditioned to overeat during the holidays, especially on Thanksgiving. “Somewhere along the way, that became the cultural experience,” Feeney said. “It’s the mindset of ‘We only get these foods once a year and this is how we celebrate.’” Holiday meals include more options than a usual dinner, so it may be tempting to try a serving of everything on the table. “Without even realizing it,

without even purposely eating until you get stuffed, it can happen,” Feeney said. Spending the holidays at home may provide students with a seemingly limitless supply of homemade food. “I don’t think I’ve ever had HEALTH, page 3

A student was transported to University Medical Center on Thursday, at 1:32 a.m., due to a possible pill overdose. At 12:46 a.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer went to Babcock Residence Hall on reference of a suicidal student. A friend of the student had been talking with her on the computer via Skype and reported the incident to UAPD because the student told her that she and her boyfriend had agreed to take pills that night to kill themselves. The woman told the officer that her friend had tried to commit suicide this semester by trying to suffocate herself and by banging her head into the floor. The student also had a history of cutting herself, according to the woman. The officer went to Babcock, accompanied by another UAPD officer, and met with the residential assistant on duty. When the officer arrived he could see lights on inside. There was a loud crying coming from the room, but he could not see in through the windows. He knocked on the door, and a woman who looked upset opened it. She let the officers inside, provided an Arizona driver’s license and verified her name. It matched that of the student who was reported to be possibly suicidal. The woman told the officer that she was upset over a fight she had with her boyfriend and took some prescription pills to get rid of the pain. She showed the officer the bottle of pills, which were identified as Amoxicillin, that were prescribed to her aunt. Inside of the bottle were white pills that were identified as Motrin through an online drug website. The woman said that she had numerous suicidal attempts in her past. She informed the officers that she sees a psychologist, but that the psychologist does not know what has been going on the last two weeks. The woman admitted that she told her friends she was going to kill herself, she also told the officers that she only took the pills to dull the pain. Tucson Fire Department responded and transported the woman to UMC to be evaluated. The officers followed the ambulance and spoke to medical staff at the hospital. They said the woman was going to be fully evaluated by a doctor for both physical and mental conditions. At the request of the student, her sister was contacted. The officers left the hospital after speaking with the woman. The Dean of Students office will be given a referral of her mental health.

U.S. condems attack; China reluctant to step in

KOREA continued from page 1

launch further attacks. Hong Sang-pyo, senior secretary for public affairs at the presidential office added that “recklessly shelling mere civilians can never be tolerated. North Korea will have to bear full responsibility” for the attack. The South Korean military was placed on high alert, with fighter jets sent into the air, after officials confirmed that two South Korean marines were killed and 19 others — including three civilians — were injured. South Korean soldiers returned fire, but it was not clear if any North Koreans were killed or injured. The South Korean military was conducting drills near Yeonpyeong island when the North opened fire about 2:30 p.m., officials said. Pyongyang had earlier sent messages to Seoul that it considered the exercises “preparation for an invasion,” which South Korea denied, officials said. Twenty minutes after the attack, the South Korean military returned fire and raised security alerts to their highest non-wartime levels. Just after 3 p.m., North Korea again began firing artillery from cliffside command posts less than 10 miles to the north. Just before 4 p.m., South Korean military officials sent a message demanding a cease-fire, officials said. Lee said he was trying to prevent the exchange of artillery fire between North and South Korea from escalating into a greater conflict, the Yonhap news agency reported. In a statement, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said, “The North’s firing comes as the South Korean forces conducted a routine drill in waters near the island.” A spokeswoman for Lee said the Seoul government was looking into the motive behind the attacks. “Our navy was conducting a maritime exercise near the western sea border today. North Korea has sent a letter of protest

over the drill. We’re examining a possible link between the protest and the artillery attack,” said Kim Hee-jung, the spokeswoman. The White House late Tuesday said the U.S. would stand by South Korea. “Earlier today North Korea conducted an artillery attack against the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong. We are in close and continuing contact with our Korean allies,” said a statement. “The United States strongly condemns this attack and calls on North Korea to halt its belligerent action and to fully abide by the terms of the Armistice Agreement.” It added that the U.S. “is firmly committed to the defense of our ally, the Republic of Korea, and to the maintenance of regional peace and stability.” Stephen Bosworth, the U.S. special envoy to North Korea, was in China on Tuesday with South Korea’s chief nuclear negotiator, Wi Sung-lac, to meet with officials in Beijing. After news of the attack, officials canceled a scheduled news conference until Wednesday morning. The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday said it would have to confirm the circumstances of the attack. “We are concerned about the issue, and the real situation needs to be confirmed, said spokesman Hong Lei. Still, a leading Chinese scholar signaled that China would be reluctant to intervene. “Why China? This is clearly an issue between North and South Korea,” said Piao Jianyi, chief of the Center of Korean Peninsula Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. In any case, he said, “things are not clear. We should wait to hear what North Korea has to say and what South Korea is going to do. Maybe South Korea had a military exercise recently.” He did acknowledge that the situation could be more serious

than the sinking of the Cheonan, the South Korean patrol ship that went down in March, killing 46 crewmembers: “I wouldn’t compare it to the incident in March. That was more complicated. North Korea said they weren’t responsible and South Korea said they were. In this incident, clearly North Korea did it.” Analysts in South Korea said tensions in recent months had reached the breaking point. “The artillery fire stems from mistrust between the South and North Korean militaries,” said Yang Moojin, professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul. “The continued hostile relations have escalated to this tension. Seoul has maintained that the drill near the island is a routine exercise, while Pyongyang claims it’s a precursor to an invasion.” TV stations interrupted regular programming to interview eyewitnesses on Yeonpyeong island, where flames caused by exploding shells were moving toward houses, several of which were also on fire. It was not clear whether the structures suffered a direct hit. Officials said hundreds of the 1,300 people who live on the island were evacuated to the mainland. Seoul officials said they would investigate the economic effect of the attack, which caused the South Korean won to drop in value against the U.S. dollar Tuesday. Famous for crab fishing and naval skirmishes, Yeonpyeong lies less than two miles from North Korean waters, just inside the disputed maritime boundary known as the Northern Limit Line. North Korea has never accepted the boundary and has engaged in frequent provocations around the island. In 2002, a North Korean ship penetrated the waters, resulting in a clash that killed six South Korean sailors and 13 North Koreans.

then she came out and said, ‘Uh no, someone is having some issues outside,’ so we started freaking out.” Multiple witnesses called the police and reported the suspect had jumped on top of a car and was running up and down the street. At about 9:04 p.m., Demaine and her roommate looked outside their front window and saw the suspect jump on top of a parked car. “He was going crazy,” Demaine said. “He was yelling things like, ‘Do you smell that?’ and other things we couldn’t really understand.” She said he seemed to be yelling at someone inside the vehicle. “Then he fell off the roof of the car and started taking off all his clothes,” Demaine said. According to Demaine, when the suspect heard police sirens approaching, he ran. TPD officers arrived and saw some of the suspect’s belongings lying in the street. After searching the area, Szelewski found a small dial with a brown liquid residue in it. Glass dials like this are a common way to carry PCP, according to police. The suspect’s clothes were found on Waverly Street along with a small plastic bag that had purplish powder in it. After further analysis, this powder was later confirmed to be crushed pills. Along with his clothes police found a cell phone, a set of keys and two wallets that held a total of $110 in cash. Matching information in the wallets allowed police to identify the suspect as James Lawrence.

HEALTH continued from page 1

Demaine said she later went outside to talk to her neighbors and helped direct officers to the spot where the suspect had been before fleeing and to point out what she had seen. “Police told me he was extremely dangerous, but mostly to himself and not to others,” she said. According to UAPD Officer Joe Bermudez, Lawrence would most likely have faced felony charges if apprehended that night. “It could either be use of the dangerous drug, and if they have it on them, definitely possession. The man would probably be restrained and taken to a hospital first though,” he said. Demaine said that she was going to call Safe Ride for a ride back to UA’s campus, but feared for her safety while she waited for them to pick her up. UAPD Public Information Officer Sgt. Juan Alvarez said if any student is involved in an incident such as this, there are alternative means of transportation provided by the UA. “If they live in the general area (of campus), Safe Ride could give them a ride,” he said. “They do pick up people around the area of campus, even if they live off-campus. I would suggest (Demaine) use that or the Night Cat, which is provided by Parking and Transportation. But if someone is absolutely in need of a ride or in fear of their safety, they can always call UAPD and someone will pick them up.”

Moderation key to staying healthy

home-cooked food (this year),” said public administration and policy freshman Kelsey Sease. “Maybe once.” Sease said she is looking forward to eating a lot over Thanksgiving weekend. “Stuffing for sure,” she said. “I can’t wait.” Other students are used to cooking for themselves at school. Elizabeth Dake, a senior majoring in history and religious studies, is going home to Minnesota for the holiday weekend. “I do all the cooking on Thanksgiving,” Dake said. “I don’t eat as much as some people do. It’s a little less satisfying than having someone do the cooking for you.” Feeney said most people can eat what they want on Thanksgiving without a problem. “But I think it is also a good challenge to think ‘What if I didn’t stuff myself?’” she said. The most important part of moderating holiday eating is to be mindful, Feeney said. The sentimental value attached to “mom’s cookies” or “grandma’s stuffing” contributes to overeating. “You have all these reasons to

eat that are not hunger-related,” Feeney said. “And that’s detrimental, no matter what time of year.” Feeney said to keep the acronym “HALT” in mind during holiday eating, meaning people should avoid becoming too Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired to prevent overeating. She recommends planning to enjoy holiday treats at specific times and saving second helpings as leftovers. “I firmly believe it tastes better when you’re not stuffed.”

Oh, the places you could go Johnny McKay

Arizona Daily Wildcat

ou might have heard tales of them told by grizzled seniors, lurking in the darkest recesses of a party. You might have seen evidence of them on the scorched skin of campus adventurers and explorers. It’s possible you’ve seen the cryptic symbols on the ground, hinting at their very existence. Whatever the clues, some part of you is partially aware of them and I’m here to tell you that yes, Virginia … there are tunnels at the UA. Far too many students are ignorant of their existence, unaware that they tread over a massive labyrinth of subterranean tunnels every single time they go to class. The clues are blatant enough: those “cryptic symbols” are hardly that; they are actually the words “UA TUNNELS” sprawled over almost every section of campus. Look down every once in a while and you’ll see what I mean. Even then, how can one accurately assemble a mental image from such a rudimentary description? Short of exploring for oneself (do it!) you can, with the help of a well-informed and devilishly handsome opinions writer. And so now, let us cast off the secrets and obscurity of this shadowy campus legend and take you down into the very real, very useful and very off-limits campus tunnels. First, like any good exposé, a little history and facts to make you consider abandoning this article and read the comics page instead. For your benefit and for mine, they will be presented in “Q and A” form. Because I am not a slave to format. Q. What are the tunnels? A. The tunnels connect nearly every building on campus to one another. They are used to transport many crucial elements, such as water, electricity and steam. Q. How long have they been there? A. Since they’ve been needed — as soon as there was a requirement for a system to transport utilities from one building to the next. The earliest tunnels were constructed in the 1920s. Q. Is this the only school that has them? A. Not even close. Almost every school in the world has such tunnels. Since universities exist as self-sufficient “mini-cities,” they also carry with them these self-serving underground infrastructures. The UA’s tunnels are actually more obscure than most; student bodies are often extremely well aware of them in colder environments. The tunnels are a great alternative to trudging to class in cold weather. And there you have it! Informative. Now on to the good stuff. When you imagine the tunnels in your mind, you probably conjure some image of a dark, dank and slimy passageway. Water drips from leaks in the ceiling and rats scurry away from any movement; basically, the epitome of any sewer escape in movies. Those were my initial impressions, until a “friend” of mine was able to finally enter the tunnels for himself. Or, uh, herself. Doesn’t have to be a he. Anyway, the tunnels are not cold, damp tombs of steam and water, but instead the exact opposite. Sand lines the bottom of these paths, most of which are just barely wide enough for a grown man to pass through. They are dark, but only before you flip a glowing switch and send hundreds of light bulbs sparking to life, promenading one by one down the tunnel like the entrance to a James Bond villain’s cave hideout. And the biggest misconception of all (their inherent coldness), is quickly and sweatily disproved by the blasts of dry heat that consume you once you are inside. That’s hot water and steam in those pipes, and you can feel it instantly (or so I’ve heard). There are signs that tell you where you are, and it’s hard to beat the intense thrill of knowing that you are under Old Main, or taking a left toward the basement of Coconino Residence Hall. Now an article is worth 700 words (length requirement), but a visceral experience is worth a billion, and to truly take in the hot, dusty wonder of the tunnels, you’d have to explore for yourself. I, of course, could never condone such brazen behavior, but I should point out that those staircases by Park Avenue don’t lead to hell or China. Even if you don’t have the pleasure of trudging through red-hot pipe infested, claustrophobic sand tunnels, you are still now a more educated person. You are acutely aware that there is a maze of exciting, off-limits tunnels below your very feet, and dropping that fact in conversation at a party could quite possibly make you a “cool” kid. I will even give you license to use the descriptions in this article to make a convincing argument that you were down there, and you can pretend that your Ramen Noodle burn came from a pipe somewhere below the Henry Koffler building. This is the kind of stuff you can’t learn in a classroom — now go apply your knowledge in the world. — Johnny McKay is a media arts senior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

How much are we willing to sacrifice in the name of “security”? Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat

he millions of Americans who will travel by air this holiday season should prepare to receive a frisking by Transportation Security Administration agents. Since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, threats posed to aircrafts have been mounting. The infamous underwear bombing last December exposed gaping holes in TSA’s security screening process. However, the administration’s new screening procedures have drawn fire from civil-liberty advocates. The Electronic Privacy Information Center has filed suit against the Department of Homeland Security, claiming the TSA’s intrusive pat-downs and full-body scans are a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. When asked whether there were plans to change the new regime, Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Security, and TSA Chief John Pistole both denied that the agency was considering reforming its policy, insisting the invasive procedures are “the last line of protection” for passengers. But while a recent CBS News poll indicates 81 percent of Americans approve of the new measures, the enhanced pat downs in particular are prompting thousands of complaints from disgruntled passengers. “I really didn’t expect her to touch my vagina through my pants,” said Washington elementary school teacher Kaya McLaren after

being subjected to a TSA frisking at the DallasFort Worth International Airport. Charlotte, N.C., flight attendant and breast cancer survivor Cathy Bossi, after refusing to consent to a full-body scan because of radiation concerns, was forced to remove her breast prosthesis during a pat down. In plain sight of onlookers, the TSA agent “put her full hand on my (prosthetic) breast and asked, ‘What is this?’” Bossi told a local television station. Unable to compose herself after having her teddy bear taken by a screener, 3-year-old Mandy Simon, kicking and screaming, was frisked by a TSA employee at a Chattanooga, Tenn., airport. Her father Steve captured 17 seconds of the ordeal on film, footage that has since gone viral. The TSA’s Advanced Imaging Technology has also been the subject of public backlash. Some of the nude images produced by the machines have been saved and circulated on the web. Critics charge that the AIT scanners not only expose passengers to harmful amounts of radiation, but are useless in the detection of powdered explosives and are unable to locate materials hidden in body cavities. Those supportive of the TSA’s procedures contend they are not only necessary but have proven effective, touting the fact that there has not been a successful terrorist attack on a plane originating in the U.S. since Sept. 11. But while some are willing to forgo their privacy in order to ensure airline safety, others

MAILBAG Honors College fee doesn’t benefit many Honors students

believe the vigorous screening measures have crossed the line. Right-wing political pundit and Fox News contributor Ann Coulter is among them. In an appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor,” Coulter claimed the new screening procedures were a result of the “crazy, politically correct world we’re living in now” and suggested that rather than subjecting all 621 million in the domestic aviation system to what she calls “Hitler’s last revenge,” the TSA should ethnically profile passengers. Unfortunately, Coulter is not alone. She and others believe foreign-born Muslim males should be targeted by airport security personnel. And while the majority of Americans approve of the TSA’s new screening process, 37 percent of the public favors profiling as an alternative. But in terms of civil liberties, ethnic profiling is no better than conducting a search without reasonable suspicion. Today, National Opt-Out Day, millions will protest the TSA’s boarding security checks by choosing to “opt out” of the AIT scan and undergo a pat down instead, which will undoubtedly result in long security checkpoint lines and huge delays. But having to choose between a full-body “porn” scan and an equally invasive frisking doesn’t seem like much of an “option.” In wake of the TSA’s new airport screening procedures, we must ask ourselves what we are willing to sacrifice in the name of “security.” Are we willing to live in a society where all are assumed guilty until proven innocent or one that deems some more culpable than others simply because of what they look like or where they were born? — Nyles Kendall is a political science junior.

In support of LGBTQA housing

The headline in Monday’s Wildcat about the newly implemented Honors College fee reads: “Pay or Leave.” What a fantastic message to send to all those who strive for a more challenging educational experience at the UA. If graduating with honors is the “hallmark of academic excellence” that the Honors College advertises, Patricia MacCorquodale seems rather unconcerned with those that have recently chosen to opt out because of an inability or unwillingness to pay the new fee. According to MacCorquodale, the value lies in the Honors experience — an experience that, as a science major, I find is lacking. More specifically, I find it difficult to justify paying a fee that goes toward new classes with little relevance to my major, advising that I rarely use and programming for residence halls that I don’t live in. In fact, honors science classes aren’t even funded by the honors college; they are organized by the College of Science. It is notable that both of the students interviewed in Monday’s article with dissenting opinions about the new fee were science and engineering majors, a demographic that makes up a sizable 50 percent of the honors college student body. The college should expect to see a steady decline in that number should they continue their implementation of this fee without making some serious changes in the way that these funds are allocated.

The local news has picked up on the plan to create an LGBTQA wing and gender-inclusive housing on campus, and I’d like to speak to some of the things I’ve seen in the news. First, let me begin with the fact that I am a huge supporter of equality for all people, especially in terms of sexuality and gender. I plan to dedicate my life to working for equality. With that, an LGBTQA wing is not a step backwards. It is not segregation. It’s not creating a target. It is providing a safe space on campus for those of us who want to live in a residence hall without facing daily discrimination, harassment and even physical abuse. And yes, these all happen. Many of us have woken to have “fag” written on our whiteboards, our roommates banning us from having same-sex friends in the room, and even false reports to RAs about us “sexually harassing” roommates when we do nothing. I know I’ve had experiences with all three. Discrimination is alive and well, people. Not everyone comes to college with an open mind about LGBTQA people. We are not asking for special privileges or isolating ourselves when we create this wing. We are providing an optional safe space for any student who has been marginalized for their sexuality or gender, and I’m disappointed that there are people actively fighting to take away this safety from our students.

Arizona at Oregon

Arizona linebacker Paul Vassallo and the Wildcats’ defense will have their hands full against the nation’s top offense when they take on the No. 1 Ducks in Eugene, Ore., on Friday. Mike Christy/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

With no hope left, Wildcats can rise COMMENTARY BY Mike Schmitz sports writer

Arizona has always been a team in the “good but not great” category, and that lack of respect fueled the Wildcats toward their best start since 1999. They implemented an “us against the world” mindset that led to an Associated Press Top 10 ranking and a 4-0 start. Arizona lost that edge throughout the middle of the season, but SCHMITZ, page 6

Wildcats can salvage season with an upset over No. 1 Oregon By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Oregon. Just the name alone conjures sour memories of last year’s 44-41 double-overtime loss on a chilly November night in Tucson. The yearly matchup with the Ducks always seems to bring a little extra — the debacle mentioned above, or Arizona’s 2007 upset of then-No. 2 Oregon — and Friday’s 5 p.m. game on ESPN is no exception. While this year ’s battle doesn’t have the same Rose Bowl implications for the Wildcats, there is a different factor that the Ducks have on their side — coming in at No. 1 in the BCS poll.

The ranking, which Oregon (10-0, 7-0 Pacific 10 Conference) has held for a fourth consecutive week, is the highest in school history. “It’s a big game. It’s the biggest one we have all year,” said linebacker Paul Vassallo. “The No. 1 team in the nation, that doesn’t happen too often. You’ve just got to enjoy it.” For No. 21 Arizona (7-3, 4-3), it means that the matchup with Oregon is the first game against a No. 1 team in five years. Defensive end Ricky Elmore said that playing the Ducks doesn’t require any additional motivation and the No. 1 tag isn’t something that the Wildcats’ defense is concerned about. “They’re a great team. They

Sambu dominates at nationals Transfer places second at nationals in first year as a Wildcat By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona cross-country team can now boast that they have the second-fastest men’s cross-country runner in the nation. Stephen Sambu captured the national runner-up Monday during the 2010 NCAA Cross-Country Championships to end his first year at Arizona on a high note. Sambu wasn’t sure of his chances heading into the meet, saying, “I am very scared and very happy. There will be a lot of fast competition.” Sambu eventually lost to Sam Chelanga who runs for Liberty

Stephen Sambu University. Many people assumed that Chelanga would dominate the race, but Sambu was able to stay with him up until the last 400 meters. “That guy was so fast. I tried to pull away a few times,” Sambu CROSS-COUNTRY, page 6

Vegas spotlight shines on ’Cats COMMENTARY BY Vincent Balistreri sports writer

Now that the cupcake teams are out of the way, its time for the Arizona basketball team to eat. The game that everyone has circled on their schedules is just about here — Arizona against No. 6 Kansas. Being from Las Vegas, I’ve declared that this is the best Thanksgiving ever. It just so happens that while I’m at home in Vegas this weekend, Sean Miller and the Arizona basketball team will be making a visit.

For the last few weeks I’ve been anxious to make that six-hour drive back home to chow down on some of my grandma’s turkey, ham and dressing, but most of all, anxious to see if Arizona basketball is really back. It doesn’t get any better than this, two of college basketball’s most storied schools matching up in the ultimate basketball city. “I’m really excited to go to Vegas,” said junior guard Kyle Fogg after Arizona’s win against Bethune-Cookman. “We got a really good team in Santa Clara on Friday, I’m definitely excited for this weekend to see how good we can really be.” Yes, the Wildcats have to play Santa Clara on Friday, but the game that really matters is BALISTRERI, page 6

have that No. 1 on their chest — great, but they’re still Oregon,” Elmore said. “They’re still part of the Pac-10. They’re still a team that we play every year that we’re used to playing, so I don’t really think it puts a big difference.” Arizona defense will be the team’s most tested aspect this weekend, thanks in large part to quarterback Darron Thomas and running back LaMichael James. The Ducks are the No. 1 scoring team in the nation. “We’ve got to be smart, we’ve got to be disciplined,” Elmore said. “They’re a great team with a lot of good athletes so we can’t go too fast. We’ve got to be under control and go with the plays when they come to us.” The Wildcats will also have to

adapt to playing in Eugene, Ore., where the atmosphere is going to be everything short of incredible. Autzen Stadium has a capacity of 54,000 but has had an average attendance of 59,000 in every game since 2002. The weather is predicted to be a high of 46 degrees with a 40 percent chance of showers. “I heard a lot about how noisy it is and just how you can’t hear a thing,” said Vassallo of the environment. “It’s supposed to be cold, but I was just home and it was like 20 degrees so I’m used to it. “(The Ducks) have yet to lose and they’ve been playing consistently well all year … we just need to be able to match that,” Vassallo said.

WRIGHT SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Receiver William “Bug” Wright has been suspended indefinitely from the Arizona football team for an “unspecified violation of team rules,” according to the Arizona Daily Star. Head coach Mike Stoops confirmed Wright’s suspension Monday night, but refused any other comment on the issue. The 22-year-old junior from Tatum, Okla., caught 25 passes for 294 yards and two touchdowns in eight games this season and played in 11 games last season.

Winning connection

Williams, Fogg push ’Cats through ‘awkward’ first half for win By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Coming into Arizona’s matchup with the Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats, forward Derrick Williams was third in the nation in field goal percentage while shooting guard Kyle Fogg was leading the team with 5.7 assists per game. In the Arizona men’s basketball team’s 78-45 ugly victory over the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference foes in McKale Center Tuesday, the trends of those two statistics showed once again as the Wildcats from Tucson improved to a 4-0 record. That’s because those two statistics are related. Williams scored 19 points on 6-for-10 shooting, and his first three field goals came off of Fogg passes. Meanwhile, Fogg led the team with five assists. “Me and Derrick have a real good connection,” Fogg said. “I really just make it a point of emphasis to really get him the ball. If he’s going, our whole team is going. “Just give him the ball and watch him go to work.” Williams threw down a 360dunk after catching up to a long Fogg pass, putting the score at 22-8 with nine minutes left in the first half. “I don’t know what that (dunk) was,” said forward Jamelle Horne, who scored 13 points and grabbed five rebounds. “He’s crazy like that.” The game as a whole, however, wasn’t as much of a highlight reel. Early in the first half, the UA bench went on a small run behind four points by backup point guard Jordin Mayes and five rebounds by center Kyryl Natyazhko. Natyazhko and Arizona’s frontcourt had an easy time on the boards against a B-CU roster that included only four players over 200 pounds, and Arizona won the rebound margin 37-24 by the

Junior Kyle Fogg is leading the Wildcats in steals and assists through four games. Fogg found forward Derrick Williams — who threw down a 360-dunk — for one of five assists against Bethune-Cookman in Arizona’s 78-45 win on Tuesday in McKale Center.

end of the game. However, Bethune-Cookman didn’t back down after the small Arizona flurry. After Arizona pushed the lead to 14 points with 7:55 left in the half, the other Wildcats, from Daytona Beach, Fla., went on a 13-6 run before halftime. It was in part due to forcing nine firsthalf Arizona turnovers. “I think their gameplan was to shrink the clock,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. “If we got one thing from the game tonight, it’s being able to play against a very patient team. “They’re patient on offense, and they’re really trying to speed you up on defense,” he added. “It’s awkward (to play against).” B-CU’s Mikel Trapp capped the run with a 3-pointer in the final minute to cut Arizona’s lead to single digits, and UA went into halftime with a 30-23 lead. The second half was not as rocky for Arizona, as it committed just three turnovers after the break. With the lead at 11, Mayes hit a floater in the lane and then stole an inbounds pass for another lay-up to push the lead to 45-30 with less than 14 minutes to play. He ended with eight points that evening.

Arizona finally broke the game open by pushing the tempo and wearing on the B-CU roster. The team shot 6-for-12 from 3-point range in the second half, wearing down the B-CU defense. “We couldn’t keep the tempo of the game and the floodgates just opened there a couple minutes into that second half,” said B-CU head coach Cliff Reed. “We knew we had to minimize their opportunities to score the basketball then we would have a chance to keep it close.” Miller said he wasn’t disappointed by the effort of Arizona, stomping out the possibility that his team was overlooking B-CU and eying weekend games against Santa Clara and Kansas. “I liked that we left our bad six or eight minutes behind,” Miller said. “We won by a lot, but this is a type of game where it feels like we only won by six. “This is one that we’re definitely going to learn from.”

Miller’s team held the B-CU offense to 34 percent shooting on the evening. B-CU’s 13-for-38 set a McKale Center record for least field goals made since 1989 and fewest field goals attempted since 1984.

Arizona at Oregon Staff Picks

Underdog role familar territory for football

Tim Kosch

If the Wildcats defense was confused against Stanford and USC, I can’t imagine how it will do against Oregon. Oregon 45, Arizona 28

continued from page 5

when the Wildcats take on the No. 1 Oregon Ducks in Eugene, Ore., on Friday, they’ll be back in their comfort zone – as the underdog. No one is giving the Wildcats a chance, and they like it that way. “Going out there and knowing all odds are against you, we just want to prove people wrong,” said Arizona cornerback Robert Golden. The Wildcats weren’t supposed to beat then-No. 9 Iowa in mid-September – they won 34-27. They weren’t supposed to beat then-No. 2 Oregon when the Ducks came to Tucson in 2007 – they won 34-24. “There’s nothing better than when they came in here a few years back, I think my freshman year,” said Arizona running back Nic Grigsby. “They came in here, we knocked them off. It was exciting. There would be nothing better than for us to do that (this time).” The Wildcats thrive in the underdog role, but it was when Arizona was supposed to win games that it lost the focus and hunger that got it there in the first place. The Wildcats were expected to compete with Stanford — they got embarrassed. They were expected to take care of USC at home — the Trojans dominated them in every facet of the game. There’s something about playing with their backs against the wall that fuels this team. They have always had the talent to be a top team in

BALISTRERI continued from page 5

the Pacific 10 Conference, but they’ve lacked focus and determination from time to time. Being the underdog is how they create that motivation to channel their talent and disprove the doubters. Head coach Mike Stoops has always preached that the Wildcats aren’t good enough to take plays off and not go full speed. Although that’s oftentimes a motivational tactic, against the nation’s top team, it’s reality. But maybe that’s what keeps the Wildcats focused for the full 60 minutes. While the Ducks have hopes of a national championship on the line, Arizona has nothing to lose. After its season was all-but lost due to back-to-back losses to Stanford and USC, the Wildcats can finish the season on a high note by upsetting the team that knocked them out of Rose Bowl contention a season ago. “That can make our season, to beat the No. 1 team,” Golden said. All odds are stacked against the Wildcats. Oregon’s at home, in 40-degree weather, with an unstoppable offense against a sputtering Arizona defense. But being the underdog keeps Arizona hungry. Although no one will pick the Wildcats to win Friday, they like it that way. — Mike Schmitz is a marketing junior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Oregon’s dynamic duo of quarterback Darron Thomas and running back LaMichael James will lead the charge against a struggling Wildcats’ defense. Arizona has given up 422 yards in its last two games and the Ducks average 291.1 rushing yards per game.

Oregon players to watch RB LaMichael James:

Stats: 225 carries, 1,422 yards, 6.3 average, 17 TDs James leads the nation in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns for a reason. He’s electric, illusive and tough to tackle. “His combination of speed and balance is the best I’ve seen,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “I’ve said that since day one. I thought he was the best running back we’ve seen in a long, long time.” The Wildcats have allowed over 200 yards rushing in the last two games, and things won’t get any easier with the 5-foot-9, 185-pound sophomore. “He can stop on a dime,” said linebacker Paul Vassallo. “He definitely cuts really well.” “He’s just real shifty and he doesn’t let the first guy tackle him,” added running back Nic Grigsby. ”That’s all it is.”

QB Darron Thomas:

Stats: 2,225 yards, 23 TDs, 153.04 QB rating, 61.2 completion percentage, 78 carries, 434 yards, 4 TDs Although James is the headliner, Thomas is the general of Oregon’s top offense. The redshirt sophomore quarterback is an underrated passer, which makes a team that averages 291.1 rushing yards per game that much more dangerous. “Darron Thomas can throw the ball, too,” said co-defensive coordinator Greg Brown. “This guy is not just the old-fashion option quarterback. This guy can wing it.”

WR Jeff Maehl:

Stats: 59 catches, 830 yards, 11 TDs Maehl is the forgotten star in Oregon’s offense. He’s the Ducks leading receiver and is to Oregon what Juron Criner is to Arizona. The 6-foot1, 184-pound senior leads the Pac-10 in receiving touchdowns with 11. — Mike Schmitz

UA can make national statement against Kansas

Saturday against the Jayhawks. Every big-time basketball player has played a meaningful game in Las Vegas. The 1991 University of Nevada, Las Vegas Runnin’ Rebels were one of the greatest college basketball teams to ever play. Every summer, teenagers from around the country travel to Las Vegas to prove they’re worthy of college basketball scholarships in AAU tournaments, including the majority of the players on the UA roster. NBA players have gathered each summer at the Cox Pavilion on the UNLV campus for USA basketball training, hoping to be chosen to represent the next Olympic team. In 2007, the NBA All-Star game was even played in Las Vegas, although there is no professional team in the city.

Simply put, Las Vegas is a basketball city, where the lights are brighter and the best basketball players have had to prove themselves at one point or another. This is the chance, under the brightest lights and on ESPN, for Arizona basketball to show the country that its first four wins weren’t flukes. This weekend the Arizona basketball team has a chance to prove to the country that the past few years were a mere bump in the road. That Arizona should be the reason people back east stay up to watch West Coast basketball, like the Lute Olson days. Playing well this weekened could win back the fans that have bailed, evident from the empty seats in McKale Center early this season.

Overall, the casual college basketball fan has come to the conclusion that Arizona has fallen off in the last few years and this could be the chance to make them reconsider. “I think the trip will help us a lot, it’s going to really define where we’re at right now,” said forward Jesse Perry. Not only will it define where the team is at, but what players will prove reliable as the lights get brighter. Will Derrick Williams be as dominate against better competition? Is this when point guard Momo Jones will finally elevate his game and show that the first four games have just been a case of playing down to the competition? Can Brendon Lavender still have the same confidence in his jump shot off the bench against tougher defenders?

Will Kyryl Natyazhko and Perry be able to compete against stronger frontcourts? How will Sean Miller fare against Bill Self? This weekend will not make or break the season, but it will leave a lasting impression around the country. There are so many questions early in the season and now the stage is set. The lights will be brighter than they’ve been in McKale Center during first four games. Now everyone will find out if Arizona is really this good or if the first four games we’re a fluke. “We’ll see this weekend,” Miller said. — Vince Balestreri is a communication senior.

Women finish 11th

continued from page 5 said. “He stayed with me the whole time and then went ahead.” Sambu crossed the finish line 4.3 seconds after Chelanga. With the finish, Sambu collected the best finish for an Arizona men’s athlete since 1994 when Martin Keino won the national title. “I was not expecting to get second place, I was thinking maybe top 10,” Sambu said. “I was so happy. Everybody was so happy after the race because no one expected me to get second place.” After his surprise finish and an outstanding season, Sambu said he has his eyes on the national championship next year. Looking for a top-four finish, the women’s team had to settle for 11th place. The team stayed consistent all year, often crossing the finish line together. The Wildcats’ consistency helped them on Monday when they finished together in a tight scoring group that allowed them to jump over other teams with irregular finishes. “We probably could have done better but that’s probably what anyone would say in any situation,” head coach James Li said. “But to come from 30th last year to 11th this year, we’re so proud of them.” The team was led by Elvin Kibet who finished 51st in scoring position. Kibet was followed closely by Hannah Moen, Megan Meyer and Jennifer Bergman. Those four runners finished within 24 seconds of each other. The lone senior on the team, Maggie Callahan, scored for the first time this season and in her last collegiate cross-country meet.

Volleyball takes on nation’s elite ’Cats travel to Cal, Stanford in final week By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT It’s the final week of regular season play and the Arizona volleyball team isn’t getting any breaks with its schedule. Not only do the Wildcats (20-9, 9-7 Pacific 10 Conference) play today and Friday because of a scheduling conflict, but they also travel to take on No. 2 Cal (24-2, 14-2) and the No. 4 Cardinal in perhaps the toughest weekend of the year. “I try to make the best of every situation, regardless of if it’s good or bad,” head coach Dave Rubio said of the scheduling conflict with Stanford. “There’s not much I can say about it because I’m not in control of it. “It gives us obviously no preparation time. We practice (Monday), then we have a little bit of time (Tuesday) night and then we play on Wednesday night. It’s definitely more difficult all the way around.” Even though Rubio doesn’t think the short week is optimal for his team, outside hitter Cursty Jackson has a different outlook on things. “I don’t think it’s tough at all, I’m actually glad we have a short week,” Jackson said. “Just because we have momentum from the Washington and Washington State games, so I’m excited. It’s always an advantage coming off of a win, but we still have to do what we usually do.” Arizona takes to the court against the

northern California schools again after being swept by both in the first weekend of Pac-10 play, including an embarrassing sweep at the hands of then-No.1 Stanford (22-3, 13-3). “Obviously those two teams are terrific,” Rubio said. “That just makes it that much more frustrating, when we had Cal down in the first game of the year and lost. But it is what it is. Everyone right now is pretty focused on the (NCAA) tournament.” Rubio is hoping that enough time — two months to be exact — has passed so that the Arizona team that got beat down the first time around won’t be the one that shows up on Wednesday. “Both teams have evolved over the last 12 weeks,” Rubio said. “Really, both teams will be completely different, I would think. At least I sure hope we are.” Arizona takes on Stanford today and California on Friday in the last two regular-season matches of 2010. NCAA tournament selections are made on Sunday.

Owens named Pac-10 Player of the Week After leading Arizona to its first win over Washington in eight years, senior outside hitter Tiffany Owens was named the Pac-10 player of the week. It’s her second such honor this season, and the fourth of her career.

Humanities event asks Tucson to read By Johanna Willett ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The first university-wide common reading program, UA Reads, began after the kickoff event at the UofA Bookstore on Thursday, Nov. 18. The program encourages university students and faculty to come together and read the novel “Into the Beautiful North” by Luis Alberto Urrea. “This is going to be the first common reading program that is designed for the entire campus,” said Kathryn Ortiz, a language, reading and culture graduate student who helped coordinate UA Reads. “We hope to have the Tucson community join us as well.” As the program builds steam, UA Reads hopes to reach out to local libraries, Pima Community College and already existing book clubs. “I think it’s valuable for us here on campus to share what we’re doing with Tucson,” said Chris Schafer, the faculty relations program coordinator at the bookstore. “Tucson has a vibrant arts scene and a vibrant culture.” The project is a joint effort between the College of Humanities and UofA Bookstore. Speaking at the UA Reads launch event, the dean of the College of Humanities, Mary Wildner-Bassett, said that the program will provide ways to “find common ideas through reading … meet each other and build community bonds that might not have otherwise existed.” Throughout the course of the

year, participants in the program can attend faculty-led discussions and lectures about the book and the issues it raises. The common reading will culminate at the Tucson Festival of Books, which Urrea will attend. The novel, “Into the Beautiful North,” is about a Mexican girl’s road trip through Mexico and into the United States. “It was an enjoyable read that makes a few political statements without being overtly political,” Ortiz said. “Specifically, it raises issues that have to do with the border. In the novel, the main character is a young woman, about the same age as a UA undergraduate.” Although UA Reads hopes to facilitate interaction between faculty and students, getting students on board when they’re already reading for classes may prove to be difficult. “This is one of the greatest challenges,” said Schafer. “How do you motivate students to read the book?” One way is to select books that don’t read like textbooks. “We picked books that will speak to (students),” Schafer said. “This book deals with contemporary issues. It’s light reading, a fast read and very funny. It’s not a long book, and it’s not a classic.” The program also selected 10 Arizona Assurance Scholars to act as ambassadors for UA Reads. Arezu Corella, the assistant director of academic success and achievement selected the students.

Winter

“We were looking for diversity in majors,” said Corella. “We don’t just have English majors. I invited students who were interested in serving as ambassadors and talking about the book.” Bryanda Acuna, a freshman in family studies and human development, is from the border town of Nogales, so the topic is familiar to her. “This seems like a good way to interact with other people,” Acuna said. “I want to see what they have to bring to the table.” Jesus Ruiz, a public health junior, also sees this as an interesting opportunity. “I don’t actually read that often,” Ruiz said. “They asked us to do this for a purpose, and I want to learn something.” In the future, UA Reads plans to announce their selection over the summer to give would-be participants more time to read the book. But Schafer hopes that this year’s timing won’t stop people from joining in. “Even if you don’t read the whole book — even if one chapter inspires you to talk to someone about the issues — we’ve made some progress,” Schafer said.

“Into the Beautiful North,” written by Luis Alberto Urrea is about 19-year-old Nayeli whose father leaves her Mexican village in search of work in the United States. Nayeli soon realizes that other men have left the town, leaving the remaining villagers vulnerable to bandits. Nayeli and several friends travel north into the U.S. in search of her father and the other men who they hope to return to their town.

The Flicksgiving Cornucopia What to watch with the family on Turkey Day after the turkey is no more By Brandon Specktor ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Here’s a vocab question: You have two movies, “Faster” and “Unstoppable.” Which is about a runaway train, and which is about The Rock killing people? If you don’t know the answer by the time you’re standing in the ticket line, it probably doesn’t matter. This year’s Thanksgiving feast of flicks has something for everyone, even if you can’t discern the cobbler from the casserole. Try a serving of action porn — a pâté of ticking clocks and celebrity grimaces. Stop by the kids’ table for some colorful, sugarcoated dessert that tastes suspiciously like last year’s recipe. If you’re up for something spicier, crash The Loft Cinema’s dinner and try an authentic Swedish import. The choice is yours. Grab the family, find a comfy seat and let that tryptophan take its course.

For dads and dudes:

Faster (R) — Dwayne Johnson, the wrestler formerly known as The Rock, reminds the world that he is still not to be flexed with. Out to avenge his doublecrossed brother for a heist gone wrong, Dwayne makes his own justice with hypodermic needles, exploding muscle cars and some good old Dirty Harry magnum play. Billy Bob Thornton as an unnamed “cop” shrugs from afar. Unstoppable (PG-13) — In dark times, our nation often turns to Denzel Washington. In “Unstoppable” (aka “Freight-Training Day”), Washington and his protégé Chris Pine must stop an unmanned train hauling eight cars of

deadly chemicals from colliding with 150 elementary school students. Best field trip ever. The Next Three Days (PG-13) Russell Crowe: ass-kicker. Liam Neeson: veteran ass-kicker. Elizabeth Banks: nice ass. Watch the asses clash when Crowe only has three days to break his wrongfully-accused wife out of prison. Paul Haggis, writer of “Crash” and the new Bond flicks, directs the chaos.

For ladies and lovers:

Burlesque (PG-13) — We all know Christina Aguilera can sing, but can she attract leering male audiences by prancing about stage in skimpy outfits? Can Cher hunker in the wings and watch the dying flame of her talent snuffed by the young and sexy? Art imitates life this weekend in “Burlesque.” Love and Other Drugs (R) — The cutthroat world of pharmaceutical erection pills spares not love. Jake Gyllenhaal, chauvinistic Viagra peddler, falls for Anne Hathaway, independent woman. Join the emotional journey of pretty people learning, loving and getting naked.

For all audiences:

Tangled (PG) — Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your brightly-colored childhood references! Disney’s computer-generated take on yet another fairy tale promises plenty of old-school conventions: dashing rogues with ego problems, fashion-savvy princesses with celebrity voices (Mandy Moore) and anthropomorphic horses who

know way more than they should. Do not expect another hodgepodge “Shrek” rip-off. The “Tangled” mythology looks pretty straightforward. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (PG-13) — Wait, “Harry Potter” was based on a book? That must have been long. Megamind (PG) — Like “Despicable Me,” “Megamind” takes the villain’s perspective on social chaos and pads it with 3-D gambits and a voice cast of Hollywood’s trendiest. Will Ferrell voices an alienated alien do-badder who must step in for justice when Metro Man (Brad Pitt) is disgraced by the new flying kid in town (Jonah Hill). Tina Fey, David Cross, Ben Stiller and J.K. Simmons round out the cast, in case you weren’t convinced to leave the TV.

For all adult audiences: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest (R) — Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) is just a regular hacker, trying to have a good time. But if you tread on her, she’s not above setting you on fire or nailing your feet to the ground. Who will Lisbeth maim in the concluding chapter of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy? Find out now at The Loft, before the upcoming American remake plays with fire. Due Date (R) — Ingredients for a buddy road trip movie: one easily stressed jerk on a mission. Check. One weirdo with deadly curiosity and questionable hygiene. Check. One dog in a neck cone. Tic-tac-toe! Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis cross the country to witness a birth in L.A., and you’re invited to be just as stressed and annoyed as they are. Todd Philips of “The Hangover” directs. Expletives provided with ticket.

wildlife This Friday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. While some people may still be resting up after their huge Thanksgiving meals, many shoppers wake up at all hours of the morning to get in line for good deals. Wildlife flagged down students on the UA Mall this week to ask their feelings about Black Friday. Here’s what they said:

“We think it’s really fun, but I would never want to work. Last year our TV sparked, so we went to Walmart to get a new one. We always go at 3 a.m. and think of it like an adventure. We saw people trying to steal, tearing the plastic off of wrapped up electronics.”

Black Friday

By Miranda Butler and Maitri Mehta Arizona Daily Wildcat

— Lauren Craig, business sophomore

“I went last year and it was crazy. I go with my mom, cousin and aunt, and our grandma meets us later when she wakes up. We go to the Outlets at Anthem around midnight.” — Rachel Sabers, business and theatre arts sophomore

“The idea of Black Friday — going out and getting all the sales — is great, but I’m not comfortable with going out and standing in the lines.” — Caitlin Williams, agricultural education undergraduate

tips to survive T-Day shopping By Johanna Willett Arizona Daily Wildcat

1. If at all possible, don’t go. You’re

guaranteed to avoid any shopping-related injuries and are likely to have a much more relaxing day.

“I never shop Black Friday because it’s busy and the lines suck. And unless there’s a really good deal, it’s not really worth it.”

2. If you must go, do your homework.

— Neva Ballard, pre-business sophomore

“Last year I went to Walmart and I nearly got crushed by other shoppers. My parents forced me to go.” — Thurman Thomas, chemistry junior

“I think it’s one of the most selfish, consumerist-driven ideas on the face of the Earth. After having gone to a Black Friday on the border of Mexico — it not only drives American consumers to be crazy, selfish and needy for electronics and other dumb stuff, but it also drives other countries mad too … I went one year, and this lady took a pair of jeans from me. She said she was looking at them first, and she just took them. So I didn’t buy anything that Black Friday.” — Elisa Meza, English undergraduate

Sure, breaks are supposed to be about doing what you want and getting away from the dreaded h-word, but you’re the one who wanted to brave Black Friday. In order to have a successful shopping experience, know where you want to go and what you want to get. Scour all the advertisements you can get your hands on and then cut out coupons.

3. Get up early. While the typical time

to begin standing in line tends to be around 4 a.m., some stores do begin sales at midnight. Good things come to those who wait, and you’ll probably be doing lots of waiting. Be prepared to stand in lines. Make sure your iPod is charged.

4. Divide and conquer. If you’re

hoping to reduce the amount of time you spend in line, send one person into line immediately, while the rest of you fight the crowds for your precious purchases. Maybe by the time you’ve got that new TV, your partner will be halfway through the checkout line.

5. Use those elbows. Try not to

injure anyone, but stand your ground.

Your elbows can be powerful tools in maintaining a protective bubble.

6. Don’t get sidetracked by sparkly new things. This goes back to having a game

plan and sticking to it. Remember, you’re not there to browse.

7. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. A caffeine jolt is bound to wake you up, but if you’re not a fan of coffee, have another hot beverage or yummy snack. You are going to need every ounce of energy you can find.

8. Pack light. Most of us know from

experience how difficult it is to maneuver with a big backpack, purse or shopping cart. The less you have to tote around, the faster you will be able to wiggle to the front of the crowd and snatch your new toy.

9. Don’t run. It may be tempting to

surge forward and skip the lines, but security will find you. They will. Your fellow shoppers will laugh as you are escorted out, and your shopping experience will come to a rather embarrassing end.

10. Smile. The holiday season has

officially started. Even as you’re jostling through crowds and pitying the parents foolish enough to bring their toddlers out into the mob, remember to spread some holiday cheer.

Behind the Counter “I work at Kohl’s, and I’m terrified. I’m working from 2:30 a.m. until 11. We’ve been prepped massively. We’re having it catered. It’s basically profound moments of boredom until the store opens, and then it gets crazy.” — John Doyle Wagner, junior

“I worked at Victoria’s Secret last year on Black Friday, and it sucked balls. I closed the night before at 11 p.m. and opened the next morning at 4, so I just slept in the back room and changed my clothes. Shoppers were getting angry because their online coupons weren’t matching the store discounts and somehow that was my fault. I worked an 11-hour shift and didn’t even get paid overtime.” — Kyla Kemp, undeclared freshman
