UA teacher upholds death sentence By Michelle Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A UA graduate and adjunct faculty member has won a case upholding the death penalty of a former UA student who was convicted of beating, raping and murdering another UA student. Vince Rabago, a state prosecutor for the Arizona attorney general’s office,

graduated with his undergraduate degree from the UA in 1989, nine years after the murder occurred. On Sept. 18, 1980, Scott Drake Clabourne and Charles Langston lured Laura Webster, 22, to a party that didn’t exist after meeting her at the Green Dolphin, a local nightclub that closed in the late ‘80s. Webster was then raped and beaten by Clabourne and Langston over six

hours, then strangled and stabbed to death, and her body was dumped in the Santa Cruz Wash in Tucson. The murder went unsolved for a year until Clabourne’s girlfriend contacted the police and reported Clabourne’s self-proclaimed involvement, according to Gabriel Chin, a professor of law at the UA . Clabourne was convicted in November 1982 on one count of

first-degree murder, one count of kidnapping and three counts of sexual assault and he was given the death sentence, according to an appeal from the Superior Court of Arizona in Pima County by Clabourne. Since being convicted, Clabourne has been appealing the decision in every way possible. In 2005, a federal judge ruled that Clabourne had been given

insufficient representation. “Here’s a twist to all of this,” Rabago said, “if the court changes any part of the case it gets sent all the way back to the state court for a resentencing proceeding.” A jury found Clabourne guilty of all charges and once again handed up the death sentence.

ASUA talks drop fee, GROs By Shannon Maule ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Officials in the UA’s Undergraduate Council told student leaders they are working to make changes to improve the education of all undergraduate students. George Gehrels, a geosciences professor and the council chair, spoke at last night’s Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate meeting, and asked attendees to give feedback and advice about various educational elements on campus. While a number of topics were discussed, a few caused greater response than others. First was the $25 drop fee that is currently in effect for any student dropping a class after the first week of the semester. Gehrels said that while he is unsure whether the fee is effective — due to a lack of statistics — it will remain in effect for coming semesters. “All money raised from this will go back into undergraduate education,” he said. Feedback from many senators suggested that fewer students

IF YOU RUN

By Will Ferguson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA Greek Standards Board convened Wednesday evening to hear evidence regarding the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity’s possible involvement in the theft of 10,000 copies of the Daily Wildcat, which were taken from newsstands Oct. 8. Daily Wildcat managing editor and journalism junior Shain Bergan, who represented the Wildcat during the hearing, said the burden of investigation has fallen upon the Wildcat staff after the University of Arizona Police Department prematurely abandoned the investigation despite substantial evidence. “We presented detailed evidence that showed the fraternity had the means, the motive and the opportunity,” Bergan said. “We can only hope the Greek Standards Board will come to the right conclusion.” Representatives from both Phi Kappa Psi and the Daily Wildcat were present during the hearing to present evidence against and in defense of the fraternity. No outside parties were allowed access to the meeting. Director of Fraternity and Sorority Programs Johanne Jensen explained the board’s basis for making a decision prior to the hearing. “The board’s decision will be made based on whether the Daily Wildcat representatives can provide evidence that shows Phi Kappa Psi, more likely

Yeah, try to guess how old he is now. 36? Nope. Try 40. 40? Oh wow. I know, right? The guy who used to be known as Puff Daddy is now 40 years old. What do you think about that? (Laughs) Um, that’s kind of surprising I guess because he’s older than I thought. Like, I don’t know. Listening to some of his songs and then realizing (he’s) that old, I mean he’s older than my dad. (Laughs) That’s what I’m saying. With his new “making a band” show, why would a 40-yearold “rap icon” need help making a band? I don’t know. Maybe because the economy sucks and he’s trying to get back out there.

UNITED NATIONS — John Lennon’s widow and two sons are donating the proceeds from the 40th anniversary release of the hit “Give Peace a Chance” to a U.N. peacebuilding fund used to help countries emerging from conflict, the John Lennon fund announced Tuesday. Chile’s U.N. Ambassador Heraldo Munoz, who chairs the U.N. Peacebuilding Commission which oversees the fund, praised Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Julian Lennon for their decision to celebrate “the uniting spirit” of the “universal anthem” by contributing to global efforts to help countries through the difficult move from war to peace. Starting Tuesday, iTunes will exclusively offer the single’s special anniversary version for download purchase, with new proceeds benefiting the U.N. Peacebuilding Fund through Dec. 31, he said. Lennon and Ono wrote the song during their 1969 honeymoon bed-in protest against the Vietnam War and over the years it has become one of the world’s most popular peace anthems. Munoz told a news conference at U.N. headquarters that Lennon’s widow and sons, partnering with EMI Music and Sony/ATV Music Publishing, were making the first private donation to the U.N. Peacebuilding Fund, which has raised $315 million in voluntary donations from U.N. member states since it was established four years ago. The Peacebuilding Commission is currently helping four countries — Sierra Leone, Burundi, Central African Republic and Guinea-Bissau — emerge from conflict, he said, and the Peacebuilding Fund has helped to prevent 14 other countries from relapsing into violence including Nepal, Haiti, Kenya and Ivory Coast, he said. — The Associated Press

Nancy Dickenson said the family decided to pay what she expects will cost “thousands of dollars”for the procedures because Meadow has become another family pet.

What advice would you give to Diddy now that he’s an old man? I think that, I mean some of the songs that he does are a little (pauses) I don’t know. I guess 40’s not really that old, but maybe just change his music a little to act his age I guess.

But if you’re 40, and your name is just Diddy, how can people take you seriously? Yeah, that’s actually a good point. I don’t think that anyone can take him seriously. (Laughs)

UA grad helps develop programming for MTV By Marissa Freireich Arizona Daily Wildcat

ike many people, Tanvi Patel enjoyed watching MTV during her teenage years. Now she is working as the director of strategic development for MTV Networks. Patel graduated from the UA in 2000 with a degree in finance, and has been working with MTV Networks for about three years. “It’s a lot different now than it was when I grew up,”she said. “It has grown a lot since then.” Patel said MTV used to play only music videos, but now it has evolved to include reality television shows because that is what its audience wants. Patel helps develop strategic partnerships for MTV’s various networks. She works with MTV2, which has a higher male audience, mtvU, which caters to college students, MTV Tr3s, which is geared toward Hispanic viewers, and MTV Hits and MTV Jams, which focus on music videos. She said her job is to bring in new content and revenue for the network. “Every day is a little different,” she said.“For the most part I try to focus on building and developing the other networks.” In a typical day, Tanvi said she meets with clients. She works with on-air content, such as television programming; on-ground content, such as concerts; MTV events such as Spring Break; and online and mobile content. Patel said her job requires many different skills. “One of the main things is assessing opportunities,”she said. It is important to be able to judge which prospects are worth pursuing, Patel said. She also said it is necessary to understand finances so she can determine

which companies would make good partners. Finally, Patel said her job requires her to have good presentation skills so she can effectively communicate her ideas to her managers. Patel said there are some challenges in working for a large company, but she enjoys that her job allows her to be innovative.“Maybe there’s an opportunity to work together (with a company) but it’s just not clear cut,” she said.“The creative part is figuring out how we can work together.” Nicole Graff, who graduated from UA in May 2009 with a degree in business marketing, worked with Patel as a UA campus representative for mtvU and then as an intern for MTV Networks in Manhattan. Graff called Patel intelligent and creative. “She was a great role model as well as a great supporter,” Graff said.“She’s always on the next step, always thinking outside the box.” Graff said she has kept in

touch with Patel since finishing her internship. “We created a good work relationship as well as a friendship,” she said.“As a friend, she’s someone who is willing to help others to gain the same success she’s gained,”Graff said. Patel is originally from Scottsdale, and now lives in Manhattan. After she graduated from the UA, Patel went to graduate school at the University of Maryland where she studied business management and strategy. She then received her MBA in business from New York University. During this time she began to do consulting work for media and wireless companies, but decided to switch gears. “I wanted a little more stability with less travel,”she said. Patel said her job now is a more relaxed environment. “It’s a very young culture which keeps you young too,” she said.“I’m definitely looking forward to growing here.”

Council considers revising GRO option

would drop classes if syllabi and booklists were posted on the schedule of classes, thus lessening the need for the fee. “The classes won’t be as much of a surprise and each new element would work in tandem,” international studies sophomore and ASUA Sen. Katherine Weingartner said. MOSAIC — the umbrella term for a series of information technology overhauls currently underway — will not only allow students to see a class syllabus and booklist, but also a waiting list for the class, Gehrels said. The Undergraduate Council is working to brainstorm as many new ideas as possible and put them into effect when the new system is ready to be released to the entire campus, Gehrels told the Senate. The most talked-about subject was the grade replacement option policy, which Gehrels called “the most contentious topic on campus.”

Instead of having this option — which allowed students to retake a course in order to get a better grade — available, the council would like to implement a new system, somewhere along the lines of “freshmen forgiveness,” he said. This would allow students to adjust to the university level classes, he added, and “eliminate (the drop fee) in situations where (the GRO policy) doesn’t really help students.” “What students don’t realize is that ‘GROing’ a class may not count towards their UA GPA, but when they go to apply for big companies and such, the company will recalculate the GPA and see that you have taken the class multiple times,” he said. Senator Daniel Wallace, a molecular and cellular biology junior, suggested that the council make the pros and cons of this option known to students before they opt to GRO a class.

EDITORIAL Phi Kappa Psi must answer to someone in stolen papers case If campus police will do nothing, administration must investigate

eadership from the Daily Wildcat met with the Greek Standards Board last night for a hearing to consider whether or not the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity was involved in the theft of more than 10,000 newspapers on Oct. 8, costing Arizona Student Media an estimated $8,500 in advertising revenue, printing costs and salaries. The reasons for doing so are clear — the preponderance of evidence gathered by Daily Wildcat staff points to some kind of involvement by the fraternity’s members, from members’ homework found among the stolen property to numerous e-mails and phone calls pointing fingers toward Phi Psi’s involvement in the newspaper case. “I am not in Phi Kappa Psi, but I was told of the incident before it occurred and can state with absolute certainty the following facts. The theft was carried out by members of Phi Kappa Psi, under the orders of fraternity leadership,” wrote Brennan Vincent, a mathematics freshman. “Everyone from the president to new pledges was involved in the incident. It was an effort to contain the spread of what Phi Kappa Psi members believe to be a false accusation of rape or attempted rape on Phi Kappa Psi property.” A Police Beat item in the stolen issue contained a police report in which a woman said she thought she may have been drugged at a Phi Kappa Psi party. Other callers and letter writers were less bold about allowing their names to appear in print, for fear of retaliation from friends or relatives in the fraternity. Even so, it appears Phi Kappa Psi’s probable involvement in this crime is the worst-kept secret on this campus. To date, Daily Wildcat editors have not received a single e-mail or phone call from readers denying Phi Kappa Psi’s involvement in the case, or asking editorial staff to ease off the fraternity. The Daily Wildcat has also not received a single phone call or letter to the editor from the fraternity leadership itself. Furthermore, Daily Wildcat staff haven’t received any tips or gathered any evidence implicating other groups or individuals in the crime. To steal 10,000 newspapers in a span of less than two hours requires organization and manpower. No two people could have done this. It stands to reason that, if another organization were involved, someone would have talked by now. One thing is certain; Phi Kappa Psi members Alex Cornell and Nick Kovaleski are linked to this theft. Their homework was discovered among the stolen newspapers found near West Anklam Road and North Cameron View Place. It didn’t just blow there in the wind. However, for some inexplicable reason, campus police failed to follow

through on anything resembling an investigation, declining to question Cornell, Kovaleski or even Phi Kappa Psi President Keith Peters. Additionally, Peters himself promised an internal investigation into Phi Kappa Psi’s involvement in the theft. So far he has released no results to the public, nor provided proof that such an investigation is underway. Even if Peters did not order this blatantly illegal action, at least two of his fraternity’s members are indisputably implicated in the crime. It is Peters’ responsibility as a leader on this campus to, if nothing else, investigate when his members are accused of felony theft from the university and potentially criminal violations of civil rights. But so far Peters has done nothing. Of course, it’s fully within this man’s rights to decline comment to the Daily Wildcat. It’s also Peters’ decision whether he lets his membership run amok or not. But, whether he likes it or not, his silence and inaction are damning. Until evidence is provided to the contrary, all signs point to Phi Kappa Psi being involved in this crime. Let’s get something straight; Daily Wildcat leadership does not want to be in the position of leading a crusade against this fraternity, but we’ve been forced into that position. Perhaps if campus police had done their jobs and investigated this crime, this editorial would be unnecessary. But instead Daily Wildcat staff have been forced to do their own police work, and that is wrong. It is the staff’s understanding that the Greek Standards Board will release the results of its deliberations by this weekend. While Daily Wildcat leadership felt it was necessary to go through any and all channels to find some justice in this case, the investigation should not end there. If campus police and Phi Kappa Psi will do nothing, the UA administration must launch its own thorough and complete investigation into this incident if this university can truly claim to value both property rights and free speech. To do nothing sets a dangerous precedent. If UA officials do not start treating this case seriously, they tell the community that anyone who has a grievance with a university department can steal $8,500. Until this case is definitively settled, the newspaper’s staff will continue to do whatever is necessary to find justice in this case. First Amendment advocates and journalists from across the state and the country have called in to the Daily Wildcat offices to inquire after this incident. We would be remiss in our duties if we let this thing go. — Editorials are determined by the opinions board, which includes Shain Bergan, Alex Dalenberg, Laura Donovan and Heather Price-Wright.

MAILBAG Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act will greatly help students

The recent article “Federal government takeover of college loan pool in works” (Nov. 3. Mara Rose Williams, McClatchy Newspapers) presents some of what is going to happen if the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (H.R. 3221) is passed. However, the article paints a horrible picture as to what will truly happen. It is true that loans will cause debt regardless of where they are from, but loans from private sources are very risky and often high-interest. The simple truth is that the Federal Family Education Loan Program is going to be eliminated and either the $87 billion in federal subsidies that went to the program will be absorbed into the national debt or, with the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, it can go to the students. The bill will greatly aid in making higher education affordable and accessible to many students by increasing financial aid. The money would be put directly towards the Pell Grant ($40 billion of it), Perkins Loan and other student-friendly aid. It will also simplify the already complex FAFSA, promote outreach and retention pro-

grams, and invest towards community college development. The best part is that this will all be achieved at no new cost to taxpayers! As a matter of fact, it will save taxpayers, because the FFELP has consistently been found to be more expensive to taxpayers than the direct lending, since it uses subsidies and loan guarantees to persuade loan companies to act as middlemen. This instability will be resolved with the passing of SAFRA. The bill has so far been passed, 253171, in the House of Representatives on Sept. 17th but it still needs to pass in the Senate. As a student at the University of Arizona who does receives financial aid and will graduate with an anticipated $20,000 amount of debt I would be a fool not to see that SAFRA gets passed. In fact every student should urge senators John McCain and Jon Kyl to support the bill in order to get it passed. The only reason I see that someone might have a problem with the bill is that they are either part of the private loan industry, rich and don’t need financial aid, not a student, or they are a student who has just been getting the wrong and biased information. The bill can be accessed in its entirety online and anyone can see the original words and what it propos-

es. It is time that student apathy dies and we reclaim higher education! See the true facts and urge Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl to support the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (H.R. 3221). Sean Assad Political science and history sophomore

UAPD has proven to be highly incompetent

Hats off to the UAPD for failing to do their job — again. Their unparalleled ability to distribute exorbitant parking tickets, fine stop-sign runners and hunt the chalk-wielding dissidents of the university administration does not seem to carry over to their detective work in the newspaper theft case, and their apathy toward this blatant and expensive criminal act against the Daily Wildcat is disgusting. They may or may not keep us students safe — I leave that judgment to the ladies who walk the campus grounds at night — but they have proven themselves pathetic crime busters.

Ten reasons not to study abroad

For many programs, the UA will record the courses you take overseas as pass/fail, effectively removing the challenge to balance your social life and your schooling that is usually imposed by a tertiary education. A disproportionate number of people will think your voice is sexy, regardless of whether this is truly the case. Accents confuse people; you may not like the extra attention. You may lose your figure if not readily exposed to the cuisine available at Carl’s Jr and Taco Bell. The legal drinking age is lower in almost every other country in the world and you’ll end up spending all your money on alcohol and exploring the night-life.You may also find it difficult to come back to the US and have these liberties again removed from you. Best to avoid the opportunity altogether.

If we’re all the same, why do we hate being average?

his just in: more than half of all people are average. Contrary to popular American opinion, that’s a very good thing. Practically from birth, modern American society conditions us to be special, different, distinguished. All new parents think their child is the smartest, most beautiful, most above-average tot that has ever figured out a Fisher Price farm animal puzzle. They buy “The Happiest Baby On The Block” books, enroll their kid in Sanskrit for Toddlers classes and imbue the poor kid’s young life with the harmful delusion that to be normal is to be a failure. This modern notion is harmful and dishonest. To be average and ordinary isn’t bad. To be average is

to be, literally, in the middle. You are not better or worse than anyone else. Modern American society could improve by putting less emphasis on the superiority of superlatives. To want your child to be “The Anna Happiest Baby Swenson on The Block” is to want all other columnist babies to be less happy. What kind of a society wants other people’s babies to be unhappy? It’s brilliant marketing on the part of the book company — no one would buy “The Baby on the Block Who is About As Happy As All the Other Babies.” In an honest, altruistic society, this book should be called “The Happy Baby” and pass no description on all the other babies. We should not try to build ourselves up by cutting everyone else down. We should want

all babies to be as happy as possible. It is the emphasis on the superlative that makes every baby on every block less happy, less healthy and less normal. It makes them all less average. Even the ubiquitous Baby Einstein turned out to be not helpful, but harmful to young babies (“No Einstein in Your Crib? Get a Refund,” the New York Times, Oct. 23). Parents and society need to learn that it is detrimental to your child and to all children to want your child to be the best. It distances, downgrades and demeans everyone. You can’t build up yourself by tearing everyone else down — why do we tell out children they should? We always search for class equality, yet there is a social stigma against being average. To be average is to be like the greatest number of people, which is, of course, the goal of equality. The societal desire to be “above average” is a selfish attempt to

distance oneself from the rest of the people in the world. To think you are “above average” is to think others are beneath you. It is mathematically impossible for everyone to be above average. However, we can use being average to elevate society. Rather than viewing being like the greatest number of people in any category as a bad thing, we should embrace it. If an elected official had an average income, it could better help them understand the implications of tax policy on the greatest number of his or her constituents. The average opinion wins an election. To think you are or to want to be anything other than average is dishonest to yourself and to everyone else. America was built on the philosophical theory that all people are created equal. People have tried throughout history to assign distinctions to make us different from one

another, everything from race, to religion, to size, to gender, to IQ, to school from which one earned one’s undergraduate degree. If we as a society really believed that we are all equal, that we should strive for equality in all things for all people, the very word “average” would cease to exist. It is counterproductive to the collective and individual pursuit of liberty to try to distance oneself by being something other than average. We are, in fact, all just people. No one person is purely a superlative, and all such labels are selfish delusions. By taking the emphasis off being “happiest,”“smartest,” and “best,” we would all be happier, smarter, and better, as individuals and as a society. — Anna Swenson is a sophomore majoring in English.

ATTORNEY

Murder case has UA connections

continued from page 1

In 2005, Clabourne filed a federal habeas corpus petition in federal court hoping to overturn the previous sentencing. “What happened recently in this case was that the federal judge upheld the death penalty sentence that was reimposed back by the state courts in 1997,” Rabago said. “I represented the state and U.S. district court fighting to uphold the death penalty.” The case shows how long the death penalty takes to be enforced in the U.S. justice system. “When I first got the case and worked on it I had certain thoughts about it,” Rabago said. “Then I started teaching at the law school at UA and things changed.” Although the Clabourne case is unique in that the victim was a UA student and Rabago teaches UA students and remains affiliated with the university, he said that he devoted the same level of time and energy to the case as he would for any murder victim. Despite a personal connection to the case, Rabago stands by his statement, “every case has its own story, but every victim deserves equal justice.” “The judge’s long-awaited decision brings this case one step closer to justice for the victim Laura Webster and her family,” he said. Rabago is no longer working

POLICEBEAT By Michael Merriman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Mystery fire started near bus stop University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a bus stop at the intersection of Campbell Avenue and University Boulevard on Oct. 28 at 4:46 p.m. in reference to a fire. Upon arrival, officers observed a blue recycling bin with flames coming out of it. A large crowd was gathered around the fire. Police were able to locate a fire extinguisher and use it to put out the blaze. The bus stop sustained no damage and no bystanders were injured. According to a witness, a man in his 60s was standing next to the bin moments before it caught fire. Police were able to locate a man matching the description given by the witness. A records check of the man revealed an outstanding UAPD warrant for failure to appear on a shoplifting charge. The man was placed into custody and searched. On his person, police found two lighters, a book of matches, rolling paper, and tobacco. The man was transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked for the warrant.

Skateboarder breaks through gate in Sixth Street Garage UAPD officers were on patrol in the Sixth Street Garage on Oct. 28 at 10:48 p.m. when they observed a man skateboarding through the structure. Officers watched as the man rode his skateboard through a gate arm on the east side of the garage. The arm broke and the man fled on foot. Officers were unable to locate the man. According to police, the man was wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. Parking and Transportation Services was issued a Victim’s Rights form. Police have no additional suspect information at this time.

Friends have falling out near McClelland Hall UAPD officers responded to McClelland Hall at 1130 E. Helen St. on Oct. 29 at 9:24 a.m. in reference to a fight on the south side of the building. On arrival, officers met with a UA professor. The professor told police that at about 9:15 a.m., a student in his class was crying when he approached the teacher and told him that he had been struck in the face by a friend earlier in the day. The student then left the classroom and returned several minutes later, bleeding from his head. The student told his teacher that he had been assaulted and identified his attacker. Police located the attacker and questioned him about the incident. He told police that he had been the man’s friend for about nine years, but the two had begun arguing lately. He further told police that the man had been driving him to school that morning and when they began to argue, he admitted to punching the man in the mouth. He told police he then exited the vehicle and took the bus to school. He told police that he met his friend outside McClelland Hall and stated, “I just want to talk.” He admitted that the men began to wrestle and told police that the man fell backward into a concrete trashcan, striking his head and causing a laceration. Tucson Fire Department arrived on scene and evaluated the man’s injuries. Based upon his own admission, police placed the attacker under arrest on two assault charges. He was transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked. The incident has been referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Man uses women’s bathroom to hide from alleged attacker UAPD officers responded to the UA Main Library on Oct. 29 at 4:21 p.m. in reference to suspicious activity. On arrival, officers met with an employee of the library. She told police that an unknown woman had approached her and told her that an unknown man had entered a women’s restroom on the first floor. The employee waited outside the restroom and confronted the man when he exited. Police contacted the man, who identified himself with an Arizona driver’s license. According to the man, he had been in the library to use the computers. While waiting, he saw a man who he claimed had assaulted him one month earlier. The man stated that the assault was documented by the Tucson Police Department, but he did not remember the case number. The man stated that he had feared for his safety and fled the area and hid in the first open door he had come to and did not know the restroom was for women only until the employee informed him. Officers asked the man if he had entered the restroom to spy on women and he stated that he had not. According to police, nobody reported being victimized by the man. Police warned him against entering any women’s restrooms, in the library or in any other building on campus.

Man makes rude remarks to fellow employee UAPD officers responded to a loading dock on the west side of the Health Sciences Center on Oct. 29 at 5:37 p.m. in reference to a male employee harassing a female employee. On arrival, officers met with the female employee, who told police that the male employee had been harassing her for the last three months. The woman was visibly upset and claimed that earlier that day, the man had told her, “Too bad you’re not a man. I would hit you.” The woman also claimed that the man called her a “bitch.” Officers spoke to the male employee, who admitted to arguing with the woman, but claimed that she had accused him of being drunk. According to a supervisor, the man was a temporary employee that was hired from a contracting firm. The supervisor further stated that the man would be asked to leave the position and not return to campus any more. Police informed the man of the supervisor’s decision and escorted him to his vehicle. They also warned him that returning to campus could result in criminal charges for trespassing.

FACULTY Q&A

Beth Alvarado

lecturer in the English department By Michelle Cohen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Beth Alvarado obtained her bachelor’s degree in creative writing from the UA in 1983 before earning a master’s degree in literature from Stanford University. She became a lecturer in the UA English department in 1990. She has a book of short stories, “Not a Matter of Love,” which is available at Antigone Books, 411 N. Fourth Ave. The Daily Wildcat sat down with Alvarado to discuss her work on an essay to be included in a new book centered on the humanitarian crisis in Darfur.

DW: You wrote an essay that was recently published in a book (“Dedicated to the People of Darfur: Writings on Fear, Risk, and Hope”) to raise awareness about Darfur. Can you tell me about your essay and the book? Prof. Alvarado: The essay I wrote is about drawing on life by observing people and listening to them — getting details about their lives or the way they gesture or talk in order to create a character. You might borrow speech patterns of one person and the speech of another, for instance. For instance, now I’m working on something with an actual murder. I did a lot of research and decided I wanted to write one chapter from the point of view of a person who is in her 20s and

is suddenly widowed with kids. So in order to kind of understand her, I kept thinking about my mother, who had been widowed in her 20s and had children. My mother couldn’t talk about her first husband. That was really the greatest tragedy of her life. I don’t know if it’s true of her (the character’s) life, but it helped me understand the character when I would have her do something I would say,“Is that realistic?”and I would think about my mom. It’s a book of essays. It would be a great book to read if you’re someone who wants to write, because the essays are about writing, and also if you’re just someone interested in kind of the struggles people go through as they’re either trying to write or speak up about things difficult to write or speak up about. It seems a lot of the essays are really inspirational to think about why writing matters in the world and what a difference it can make because I think most of us think what we have to say or write can’t make any difference, but this book shows that it really can. How were you chosen to write for the book? What happened was the editors asked people they knew or people whose writing they admired to write an essay about risks they take when they write something. For some of the people living in Africa or other kinds of oppressive regimes, the risks are to their

lives; then others, like my essay, are just every kind of ordinary, quiet risks, like, “Is someone going to get mad at me?” People talked about other things like depression and the things that happen in everyone’s lives, and how writing helps you through that. I was looking on my computer the other day and I think I did at least 10 or 11 drafts of that essay. It was really a hard essay to write because it was personal, and I was writing it right after my mother died and part of it was about her death. So it was just really difficult to write, emotionally. I was really excited to have my writing contributed to something important. I was really happy about that because it just seemed like such a worthy cause. Usually you write something and maybe it gets published, maybe you make money, but to think of it doing some good in the world is wonderful — the most you can hope for in a way. Then it was kind of nerve-wracking because so many of the other writers in the book are famous and you’re like, “Is my writing good enough to be in that book?” Which authors are you referring to? Nadine Gordimer. I think she won the Nobel Prize. I had read her work for 20 or 30 years and always admired her writing. She’s in that book so I would say her in particular. She’s a writer from Africa.

S.C. man who had sex with horse gets 3-year sentence By Tonya Root MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS CONWAY, S.C. — A South Carolina man was sentenced to three years in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to a charge related to having sexual intercourse with a horse. Rodell Vereen, 50, of Longs, S.C., was charged in July with buggery and trespassing after a Conway, S.C., woman found him in her barn at Lazy B Stables, police said. The woman held

him by pointing a shotgun at him until police arrived. Judge Larry Hyman also sentenced Vereen to three years in prison for violating his probation relating to another buggery charge from a 2007 incident. The sentences will run concurrently. “I’m sorry about what I’ve done,” Vereen said. “I didn’t mean to do it. It’s my fault. I’m sorry for what I’ve done to myself.” Hyman sentenced Vereen to five

years in prison on the latest buggery charge, but reduced it to three years in prison and two years of probation. Vereen also was ordered to undergo mental health treatment once he is released from jail and was told not to go near Lazy B Stables. “I’ve been through hell for the last year and it’s caused a lot of hardship,” said Barbara Kenley, who owns the horse. “There’s a lot of ridicule and jokes going around about this thing.

take so much.” The woman told police she caught Vereen having sex with a 21-year-old female horse named Sugar. She told officers she had video of Vereen“having relations”with one of her horses on July 19, according to a police report. Hyman said Wednesday that Vereen was competent to take part in a plea. But it is the second time Vereen, who works for a landscaping company, has been charged with having sex with a horse at Lazy B Stables.

Vereen pleaded guilty to buggery on July 21, 2008, and was sentenced to three years probation, ordered to undergo mental health counseling, and told not to go near Lazy B Stables after he was caught having sex with a horse on Thanksgiving Day of 2007, according to the 15th Judicial Circuit. Vereen has also been registered as a sex offender since pleading to the buggery charge last year, according to the State Law Enforcement Division.

Arizona 92, Augustana College 76

Getting a fresh start

Horne leads Wildcats in up-and-down outing as Miller juggles youngsters By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Jamelle Horne played with tenacity on his 21st birthday, scoring 19 and grabbing 10 rebounds in just 21 minutes to lead his Arizona Wildcats to a 92-76 victory over the Augustana College Vikings in McKale Center Wednesday night. A crowd of 13,202 witnessed head coach Sean Miller ’s exhibition debut as his squad showed glimpses of promise along with moments of inexperience. After an up-and-down first half, the Wildcats scored evenly with the Vikings, 42-42, in the second half, much to Miller’s frustration. “To me, the second half was more of a reflection of who we are right now,” said the first-year UA head coach. At the beginning of the game, Arizona’s offense attacked from the three-point line while its defense struggled. Four minutes in, the Wildcats only held a 10-8 advantage. Then, freshman guard Kevin Parrom hit his first off the bench, a three pointer, to spark an 11-0 run, making the score 21-8. He finished the game with 12 points and five rebounds, showing smooth ball control and an effective fade-away jumper. Forward Derrick Williams, also a freshman, finished shooting 5-for-6, scoring 14 easy points. Nic Wise wasn’t listed in the initial starting lineup but was named during the pre-game introductions. Fellow guard Kyle Fogg was absent due to illness. Wise played a sporadic 19 minutes — Miller purposefully kept his minutes down — after returning from an ankle injury and tallied 12 points to go with five assists. In Wise’s place, Miller toyed with the backup point guard slot, giving most of the time to sophomore Garland Judkins , then handing the baton to freshman guard

COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy

sports writer

s a bunch of guys wearing different sneakers and coming from different walks of life, the Arizona men’s basketball team served an exhibition game’s purpose. They made a few squeaks on the fresh coat of paint on McKale Center’s floor, a few leaps above the rim and probably a few tweets later in the night. It’s the first dry run, suiting up in bright white jerseys with an odd assortment of footwear. Jamelle Horne wore red Nikes. Others wore blue. Some wore white. Half the team grew up on the West Coast. A few from back east. Different shoes, different footprints — maybe somehow Arizona’s mishmash of styles, newcomers and rotations will develop into a cohesive system in the next nine days. “You learn a lot about our team, what we need to work on,” UA point guard Nic Wise said.“When we were clicking at times, it looked good. And when we weren’t, it looked real bad.” First-year UA head coach Sean Miller shuffled 12 players through a scorers’ table carousel in last night’s 9276 exhibition win against Augustana College — serving more like a de facto tryout for players to prove their roles as the real season approaches. But unlike the shallow depth on the bench last season, Arizona fans may see the Brendon Lavenders and Alex Jacobsons get some playing time. “To me, there’s not a big difference between a lot of players on our team,” Miller said.“We’re going to do it with depth. I love to play nine or 10 guys. It makes practices more competitive and builds for the future. I would like to think we’ll play nine, and possibly 10, players.” The bench scored 45 points. Nobody played more than 26 minutes. Walkons Dondre Wise and D.J. Shumpert Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Football’s o-line keeping opposing hands off of UA quarterbacks By Brian Kimball ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

eople across the nation have taken notice of the Arizona football program, as the Wildcats’ play has been good enough to earn them a top-25 ranking in multiple national polls. However, one aspect of the squad hasn’t been noticed nearly as much: the offensive line. But that’s a good thing for the Wildcats, because offensive linemen seem to only get attention when they allow sacks. That’s not the case for the UA o-line as the unit has

only allowed four sacks through the first seven games of the year and kept starting quarterback Nick Foles’ jersey completely clean during the past two games. Even with a slew of injuries forcing Arizona to play a mix-andmatch combination of offensive linemen, the group keeps performing at a high level. “You’ve just got to take it one play at a time,” said UA starting center Colin Baxter. “Different guys move around, but we all know pretty much every position, so guys just fill in and step up and do their

job. It’s just that sometimes it’s at a different position.” Baxter, Phillip Garcia, Mike Diaz, Vaughn Dotsy, Adam Grant, Conan Amituanai and Herman Hall have been the main contributors to the line this season and each seem to take after offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh. While Bedenbaugh was being interviewed for this story, defensive coordinator Mark Stoops strolled by with a smirk on his face and whispered in his direction, “The o-line can’t block O-LINE, page 10

After the departure of seven players and the addition of six new players, Arizona women’s basketball is revamped and ready to go after nearly eight months of offseason. The new-look Wildcats will take on the Ft. Lewis Skyhawks in their first exhibition game tonight at 7 in McKale Center. “I’m extremely excited about starting the season,” said head coach Niya Butts. “We’ve got basically a brand new core group of girls that are ready to take the floor.” Four freshmen left the program after the conclusion of last season, and three seniors left due to graduation. Despite the lack of depth, Butts was already hard at work filling the void in preparation for her second year at the helm of Arizona women’s basketball. Her answer came in the form of a Division I transfer, three junior college transfers and Arizona native Davellyn Whyte , the Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year for 2009. “We have a great bunch of players. Especially with the new people — there’s new energy, there’s new passion, they’re winners. They like to win and they want to win,” Butts said. “Our newcomers are so vocal for new kids. They have the personality and drive that we’re looking for.” The returning Wildcats aren’t expecting their new teammates to be behind the learning curve this season. Everyone who was recruited

for the season will have an opportunity to play with the exception of Shanita Arnold, a transfer from the University of Arkansas, who will have to sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules. Learning how to play with new teammates and developing chemistry will also be key to how far Arizona will go this season. While over half the team is made up of new players, the returners say a common goal of winning has kept everyone focused. “It’s going to be different this year W-HOOPS, page 9

because even though we have new players, they’re not just new players,” said junior forward Ify Ibekwe. “They’re new players that can contribute, they’re new players that can set the tone, they’re new players that have that spark.” The start of the 2009 season also means the return of red shirt sophomore guard Tasha Dickey, who was sidelined after undergoing a seasonending surgery in November 2008. “I’m very excited to get back on the court. It’s been a while,” Dickey said. “A year off is kind of hard for the athlete. I’m really excited to get back and play with the team, get involved.” Dickey’s return will round out a core group of guards this season for Arizona. The addition of junior college transfers Jennifer Kioa, Amanda Pierson and Soana Lucet will help

out first-team All-Pac-10 Ibekwe in the post area. Meanwhile, Arizona’s guard situation looks to be deep both in starters and bench reserves, something the Wildcats seriously lacked last year. The changes in personnel aren’t the only thing new to McKale this season. The change in the attitude of the program is also in stark contrast to last year’s team. “As far as a new team, it’s all a lot of good talent mixed together,”Kioa said. “Compared to last year, there’s just a lot more want to win and compete and get better as players and as a team.” “The one thing as a coach I ask them for every day is to give energy and 100 percent effort,” Butts said. “When I see that without us having to yell at them … that shows me that they’re hungry. That shows me that they have passion, that they have drive, that they’re committed.”

Improvements in store despite win

Lamont “Momo” Jones as the game entered its final 10 minutes. Nine players saw at least 10 minutes of play, topped by Jones’ 29 minutes. The combo guard scored six points and dished out three assists, seeing action at both the shooting and point guard positions. Miller said he was not only feeling out his roster but that he had no qualms in using such a deep bench into the season. Arizona might have finished with the victory, but Miller was adamant that there is still much work to be done. “(The Vikings) had their way on the offensive glass,” he said. “We have to get better at rebounding the ball as a team. We have to be more disciplined, tougher defensively.” With nine minutes left in the first half, the Wildcat defense had softened once again but had retained a 30-15 lead. The Vikings, coached by former Arizona assistant Tom Billeter, kept the game close throughout the first half, briefly closing the gap to eight points, but Arizona

jogged into the locker room with a 50-34 lead. For the game, Arizona shot 55 percent from the field while forcing the Vikings into a 38 percent clip. But that should have translated into a larger advantage. “We were a little bit more into them,” starting guard Brendon Lavender said of the team’s defense compared to the Red-Blue game. “We were playing real, real hard, tough. We got a lot of work to do on team defense, though.” Arizona went up 61-44 five minutes after the intermission. Augustana attempted a full-court press, which the Wildcats broke twice, resulting in guard Jones finding Williams for two alley-oops. Arizona increased its lead to 75-55 halfway through the second half after a steal and a layup by Judkins, but keeping Wise’s minutes down in the half meant the nowyounger team couldn’t build upon their lead. “You clearly see the good and bad as a young team,” Miller said.

Decisions loom for soccer Top underclassmen Smith, Cuellar to return next season By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona soccer team has been tumbling downhill for the last three years, but this season, the program has finally reached the bottom of its constant struggles both on the field and off of it. After a disappointing 3-6-1 start to the season, starting midfielder Leila Amini left the team on Oct. 1, becoming one of the 10 players to leave the program over the past year. Eleven days later, the Wildcats’ head coach of six and a half years, Dan Tobias, decided to step down for personal reasons. In turn, the team was forced to focus on offthe-field situations rather than how it could start to win games. “It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions since I’ve been here,” said freshman Alex Smith . “Going from being so excited to be here to going through the fiasco with the coaching situation, now I’m just more excited for what will happen next year.” The Arizona soccer program (4-13-1, 1-6-0 Pacific 10 Conference) can only move upward as the lingering questions about the program’s future will be addressed after the final game against Oregon State on Sunday. In the coming weeks, the future will be decided by Athletic Director Jim Livengood , who will choose the new coach. But as evidenced by their efforts in the second half of the season, players have rallied behind co-interim coaches Lisa Oyen and John Galas . Smith said Livengood has told the players they will have a say on where he goes in the coaching search. Smith has an early opinion of her own. “(Oyen and Galas) should be considered for the coaching position, and I think they will be,” she said. “I know I’m going to put my word in for both Lisa and John, because I love them as coaches.” Both interim coaches still refuse to look past this weekend’s final games, despite the possibility that they may be coaching their final games at Arizona. “The focus has constantly been

on the team,” Oyen said.“We would love to see the girls get the kind of performance that they’ve worked for all year. After the games are over, I will just take the next day at a time .” Arizona is preparing for its last two games of the season, but come Monday, the process of moving the soccer team will leave a lot questions. “It’s going to be big change for us as far as the program in the future,” said sophomore Renae Cuellar. “We’ve hit rock bottom this year, so from here it can only get better. It’s hard to think about because you never know who will come in and what they will want.” The good news is that both Smith and Cuellar have said they are looking forward to next season, as they each expect to return. Having its best underclassmen back is a good sign for a program that has strug-

gled to retain top players for the last few years. As for the rest of the team, it remains to be seen whether the players with remaining eligibility will return if there is a new coach. “We might not have everyone return like we would like, but everyone has to do what’s best for them,” Cuellar said. “If anyone doesn’t want to be here, it’s best that they move on because we don’t need any negativity, especially after we’ve hit rock bottom this year.” Judging by the team’s overall performance in the latter part of the season, Smith and Cuellar both expect next year to be much better. “I’m really excited for next year. I think we’ll have a pretty good year,” Smith said. “Our play in the last few games has been much better, and we’re just going to build on that through the spring.”

anybody.â&#x20AC;? Bedenbaugh didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a beat while he explained why his unit has been so successful. Like Bedenbaugh, nothing seems to faze this group of offensive linemen. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dealing with injuries or weekly adjustments to different gameplans, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve prepared too long and too hard to let things like that affect their play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got together four or five times a week (during the summer) to do blitz pickups, we came out here and did o-line drills and stuff like that,â&#x20AC;? Baxter said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just happen, you know? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working pretty hard at.â&#x20AC;? That hard work is showing up on the stat sheet. Arizona has only allowed one sack during four games of Pacific 10 Conference play, and the team finds itself in second place in the league. With the brunt of the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schedule on the way, they want to keep that stellar mark intact, and they have the attitude to keep it up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the most physically imposing group, but our guys are tough enough, and they understand their assignments and their technique,â&#x20AC;? Bedenbaugh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But more importantly, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it and they work hard and they give great effort. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be tough enough to do it mentally for 60 minutes, and most of our guys physically can do it. Mentally is the most important thing to me.â&#x20AC;? The o-lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentality is helping out Folesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; psyche as well. In a win against Stanford, Foles threw 51 passes and never found himself lying on his back . He attempted 34

passes and stayed upright the entire game. With plenty of time to survey the field, Foles was able to stand back in the pocket and pick apart the opposing defense, thanks to the protection the line provided. Foles said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already taken out the linemen for food once this season, but if he continues to have a clean jersey at the end of the games he might have to reach into his wallet again at the end of the season to treat his protectors to another muchdeserved meal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love going out for wings, and I already took them out once before, so I might have to take them out one time at the end of the year and just pig out,â&#x20AC;? Foles said. With the way the offensive line has performed so far this season, they could work up quite an appetite before then. With the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average at 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds, could Foles afford a bill for such a large group of hungry guys? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, I might have to keep a little bit of my scholarship check for them,â&#x20AC;? Foles joked,â&#x20AC;&#x153;but yeah, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be all right I think.â&#x20AC;? But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what reward the offensive linemen get at the end of the season. A big bowl game, a big bowl of wings or just more national recognition â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all these players and coaches care about is continuing to play well and getting better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got experience, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bust and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a good job of not turning guys loose,â&#x20AC;? said UA offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes.â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you do that then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a chance to get rid of the ball and not take sacks.â&#x20AC;?

Senior defenseman Zach Cherney positions himself for a shot on goal at Arizona Icecats practice on Tuesday. Now that the lineup is healthy for the Icecats, they should have no problem improving their sub par record.

Homestand brings â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no excusesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mentality The Icecats are finally healthy, fresh and ready to go, leaving them little reason not to perform By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Excuses should never be used to justify a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor performance, but the Arizona Icecats (2-5) certainly havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been the most fortunate team in the American Collegiate Hockey Association through their first seven games. First pneumonia, next H1N1, throw in a concussion and a few injured hips and shoulders, and you have the first month of the season for the Icecats. But along with those ailments came inconsistent and inefficient play. While missing six players due to injury, the Icecats were swept in Tempe by ASU. They went two and one at the ACHA Showcase in Ohio a week later, but were unable to build off of that momentum against University of Nevada, Las Vegas two weeks ago, as they were swept and outscored 15-6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that you can pinpoint. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been a combination of everything,â&#x20AC;? senior defenseman Zach Cherney said of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rough start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just blame one person for all of the losses. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team effort.â&#x20AC;? As Cherney said, there were a variety of factors that led to the Icecatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disappointing 2-5 start. But regardless of how ugly the first seven games were, the Icecats are finally back at home, fully healthy, and they have no reason not to perform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no excuses and

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start getting the job done,â&#x20AC;? said associate head coach Dave Dougall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get some wins, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our biggest concern right now.â&#x20AC;? The Icecats will host Eastern Washington this Friday and Saturday night at the Tucson Convention Center in hopes of turning the season around. Unlike the first seven games of the season, the team has four healthy lines in place and thousands of fans to back them up. There truly are no excuses. The Icecats are certain that their 2-5 record is not indicative of their talent, but they need to prove it on the ice, and what better way to do so than in front of their fans at home? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ambiance, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the feel, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the madhouse,â&#x20AC;? head coach Leo Golembiewski said of the Tucson Convention Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our barn, our locker room, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home.â&#x20AC;? Freshman Scotty Willson said it best: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The energy thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be in this building on Friday and Saturday should be unreal. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not coming out on all cylinders I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong with us.â&#x20AC;? The first month of the Icecatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season has come with a slew of complications, which clearly played a part in their disappointing start. But the Icecats now have the ball in their court: a healthy team, an electric home crowd and some solid practice time under their belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a full team now,â&#x20AC;? Cherney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no excuses, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sicknesses, nobody has the flu, everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy, no injuries. So now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to play.â&#x20AC;?

Freshmen adapting to college game, crowd in exhibition

played three minutes apiece. Newcomers scored 44 points and played more than half of the minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At times we played well, but we have so many new players,â&#x20AC;? Miller said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to keep beating that drum, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just reality.â&#x20AC;? On a night the Yankees clinched their 27th World Series championship, the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own Bronx Bombers began adding their efforts to Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prestigious program. Kevin Parrom and Momo Jones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hailing from the Bronx, N.Y., and Harlem, N.Y., respectively â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had a mixture of mid-season glimpses and freshman moments before a crowd of 13,202 last night. Jones missed a wide-open layup with 12:45 in the first half. Some of them jogged back after big dunks, failing to play transition defense. A few made some alley-oops. Others committed sloppy fouls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re freshmen, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 18 years old,â&#x20AC;? Wise said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First college atmosphere, first game, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything. You can do everything right in practice, but when you get in front of 15,000 fans you can easily forget some stuff.â&#x20AC;? UA freshman Solomon Hill, a West Coaster who scored five points and grabbed seven boards, made the obligatory itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-a-lot-differentthan-high-school comment in his first postgame press conference. But in the same atmosphere with thousands of distractions comes a more intense focus on the game. Hill said plays and positions get echoed throughout the court, making them hard to forget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have to just settle in,â&#x20AC;? Hill said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just get antsy. A couple exhibition games, everyone should relax. We really have to step up as a freshman class.â&#x20AC;? Back East, in light of No. 25 Syracuseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss to a

Division II team two nights ago, who could take exhibitions like these for granted? The final scoreboard, hardly the sole measure of what Miller considers a successful night, looked comfortable most of the night with Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sizable lead thanks to well-rounded offensive production. Defense was a different story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We almost gave them 50 in one half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alarming,â&#x20AC;? Miller said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to serve us well in the future.â&#x20AC;? In the second half, both teams scored 42 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a long way to go,â&#x20AC;?Wise said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long journey on foot, but the red, white and blue sneakers are ready.

Injury Report

Nic Wise, point guard Injury: Ankle Status: Day-to-day Quote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My ankleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little sore, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play a whole lot. It hurts to cut. I feel about 70 percent, but hopefully Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be 100 percent by Western New Mexico (on Nov. 10).â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nic Wise Kyle Fogg, shooting guard Injury: Flu Status: Away from team until healed Quote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We anticipate every day from this point on heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get better. We missed him tonight. As the week progresses, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get back.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; UA coach Sean Miller. Derrick Williams, forward Injury: Sprained ankle in exhibition Status: Day-to-day

Ecstacy in the Bronx: Yankees win title No. 27 The Associated Press

Michael Bryant/ Philadelphia Inquirer

New York Yankees Nick Swisher, left, and Mark Teixeira celebrate with the fans in the outfield after the Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 to win the 2009 World Series at Yankee Stadium in New York, Wednesday.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Paint the town in pinstripes! Nearly a decade after their dynasty ended on a blooper in the desert, the New York Yankees are baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best again. Hideki Matsui tied a World Series record with six RBIs, Andy Pettitte won on short rest and New York beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 on Wednesday night, finally seizing that elusive 27th title â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most in all of sports. It was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first since winning three straight from 1998-2000. Matsui, the Series MVP, powered a quick rout of old foe Pedro Martinez. And when Mariano Rivera got the final out, it was ecstasy in the Bronx for George Steinbrennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go-for-broke bunch. What a way for Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and crew to christen their $1.5 billion ballpark: One season, one championship. And to think it capped a season that started in turmoil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a steroids scandal involving A-Rod, followed by hip surgery that kept him out until May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My teammates, coaches and the organization stood by me and now we stand here as world

champions,â&#x20AC;?Rodriguez said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to enjoy it, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to party!â&#x20AC;? During postgame ceremonies on the field, the big video board in center flashed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boss, this is for you.â&#x20AC;? And commissioner Bud Selig dedicated the moment to Steinbrenner. About 100 miles south, disappointment. For Chase Utley and the Phillies, it was a frustrating end to another scintillating season. Philadelphia fell two wins short of becoming the first NL team to repeat as World Series champions since the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds. Ryan Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth-inning homer came too late to wipe away his World Series slump, and Phillies pitchers rarely managed to slow Matsui and the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; machine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important in our next couple years to stay afloat,â&#x20AC;? Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know we can do better.â&#x20AC;? In a fitting coincidence, this championship came eight years to the day after the Yankees lost Game 7 of the 2001 World Series in Arizona on Luis Gonzalezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broken-bat single off Rivera. New York spent billions trying to get back. At long last, it did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to this parade,â&#x20AC;? Jeter said.

JOIN THE CLUB

One family you can’t split J

By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

ohn Reed remembers getting a high 204 in his first big bowling tournament several years ago, with his dad cheering him on the whole time. Since then, Reed’s passion for the sport has only grown stronger and has become a family affair on campus. This passion developed into the UA’s 34-member bowling club, with Reed and members of his family at the helm. Reed, an environmental sciences sophomore and vice president of the bowling club on campus, said the game is not as low-key as some might think. “It builds character — you need a strong mental game and need to focus,” he said. Reed said there are ups and downs to the game, similar to the life of a college student, but during a bad day you need to find a way to prevail. Club president and business management junior Jessica Reed, John Reed’s sister, has been bowling since the seventh grade. She continued to play in high school and attended ASU to bowl, up until her recent transfer. “I like that it’s competitive and it’s also in a fun environment,”

she said. “The game challenges everyone in different ways, always making room for improvement.” Most schools separate boys from girls, but the UA has a coed team, Jessica Reed said, adding that more people are starting to hear about the club and are expressing an interest in joining. The siblings’ father, Doug Reed, is the club advisor and director of UA’s Race Track Industry Program. Doug Reed said he developed an interest in bowling after watching his children play for years and his wife run a junior league in Tucson. “There has been a resurgence lately,” he said. “Bowling is becoming more popular again — it was big long ago and tailed off, but now it’s back.” Reed tries to “wear two hats,” as a coach and a father, he said. “I don’t get involved with the coach’s decisions , but at the tournaments I’ll go more as the dad,” he said. He said a typical tournament is two days long and they bowl from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the first day and 8 a.m. to noon the second day. During practice, the bowlers work on accuracy, such as knocking a particular pin down, as opposed to all of them. He said one of the hardest

Nigel Shemanski, a plant sciences junior, aims for a strike at Golden Pin Lanes off of West Miracle Mile last Wednesday as fellow bowling club members watch in support. The club currently has 34 members and, unlike most other schools, the UA club team is coed.

transitions is going from high school to college, because of the oil patterns on the bowling alleys. In high school, people bowl on a “half shot,” which he said makes it easier for the ball to hit the head pin. In collegiate

bowling “pro-shots” are done, and they oil the lanes differently, which makes the ball react differently, creating a greater challenge. “We are growing, and that’s a fun stage,” he said.
