Recycling: Sort no more

200 students cheat on exam

Florida university investigates class scandal MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

David Reiber, the project manager of recycling for UA Facilities Management, explains on Friday how the UA recycles. A variety of recycling containers are available, including confidential containers, which are available to departments who wish to recycle sensitive documents.

UA’s new contract with Tucson means sorting on campus unnecessary By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Recycling on campus just got simpler. Facilities Management signed a new contract with the City of Tucson allowing them to put paper, cardboard and plastic together. Before last year they were required to separate everything. Facilities Management is looking into streamlining the bins around campus to reflect the new contract, said Chris Kopach, the director of Facilities Management. “So when you see a box, even if it’s white paper, if you want to put plastic in there instead of throwing it in the regular

trash, go ahead and do so,” Kopach said. David Reiber, project manager at Facilities Management, said the switch has reduced labor. Reiber said they used to have to remove all of the cardboard resulting in 8-foot piles around the recycling center, causing more work and frustration. Prior to the contract, if more than 5 percent of the recycling was mixed, the city would not accept it at all, according to Reiber. Now sorting of recyclable materials is the responsibility of the city’s recycling center. “We were using a lot more man power and resources to actually separate everything, or

“So when you see a box, even if it’s white paper, if you want to put plastic in there instead of throwing it in the regular trash, go ahead and do so.” — Chris Kopach Director of Facilities Management if it was too contaminated we couldn’t use it all,” Reiber said. Facilities Management used to have two men do the required daily sorting. At the recycling center, two 40-yard bins filled with paper,

plastic and cardboard are emptied each day. While plastic, cardboard and paper can now be recycled together, aluminum must still be separated because the UA collects money on aluminum separately. For all of the paper, cardboard and plastic the UA splits the money 50-50 with the City of Tucson. Increasing the amount recycled cuts waste and saves UA money by reducing “tipping fees,” the fee charged to put trash in a landfill, according to Kopach. “Overall, we are doing well,” Reiber said. “The students and staff, they do really well as far as recycling.”

ORLANDO, Fla. — Close to 600 students in a senior-level business course at University of Central Florida must retake a midterm exam after a professor was tipped off to cheating. Students who admit to cheating will be given the chance to complete the course if they attend an ethics seminar, professor Richard Quinn told students. Those who don’t step forward will be found out anyway, Quinn promised during an emotional lecture. The incident, Quinn told students, has left him “physically ill, absolutely disgusted” and “completely disillusioned” after 20 years of teaching. All the students — even those who didn’t cheat — must take the rewritten midterm exam by midnight Wednesday. Students who are found not to have cheated will be able to keep the higher score of the two. Cheaters typically risk disciplinary action that could include expulsion, university officials say. But Quinn brokered a deal with CHEATING, page 5

Attorney general Student art featured at Union fired for attacking student By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

A new group on campus aims to give students the experiences they need to pursue careers in art. Studio art senior Minh-Hoa Le founded the Student Art League of Arizona after applying to show her work in the Union Galleries. She contacted classmates and friends to join her after she was accepted. “It started out just because it felt like, when we are students, we need to have support from each other to grow,” said Le, who focuses on two-dimensional painting. The group recently opened its first showing, “Then, Now, and To Be,” at the Union Galleries in the Student Union Memorial Center. The gallery features the work of eight artists, all of whom are UA students or alumni. “Our show was so fresh,” said interdisciplinary studies senior Michelle Mistelske, who focuses on painting. “There were really neat ideas that I haven’t seen out there in Tucson. It was very exciting.” Plans for the show began in June. Most communication was done through email, though the artists met in person to plan some paintings. “We did work on collaborative pieces,” said Caiomhín Shirey, a studio art student focusing on two-

dimensional painting. “A lot of us met and worked on those at the same time. That was fun. That was like the initiation, basically.” Each artist has a separate collection of work in the gallery, which are all tied together by the theme of inspiring one another to pursue art. Le said many of her classmates change majors or quit art in lieu of more lucrative careers. “If it is somewhat de-motivating, we need to motivate ourselves to continue to be art students and continue to be art students in the future,” she said. “So there comes the theme.” Some students said the group gave them the opportunity to show their work for the first time. “It’s actually been really great,” said studio art senior Talia Bodnar, who focuses on painting. “I’ve learned a lot. I’ve been working with a lot of older, more experienced artists.” Members also said the process of planning the show helped with professional aspirations and showed them what it takes to be artist. “It’s the business side, which they don’t really concentrate on in art school at all,” Shirey said. “So this is an extracurricular thing that helped us gain experience.” The show’s opening, which featured a panel discussion from professors, gave the artists the chance

DETROIT — Andrew Shirvell, the assistant state attorney general under fire for his attacks on a University of Michigan student, has been fired. A hearing that was supposed to be held Tuesday was moved up to Monday afternoon. Philip Thomas, Shirvell’s attorney, said he showed up for the meeting and was read one sentence. “They said essentially that as a result of Andrew’s conduct, it’s become impossible for him to carry out his duties as an attorney general.” Shirvell had been criticized for his blog in which he calls Chris Armstrong, the president of the Michigan Student Assembly, a radical homosexual, a Nazi and Satan’s representative on the assembly. Thomas had said his client is expressing his free-speech rights.

Pre-physiology freshman I heard that you just recently lost your wallet. What went through your head when you opened up your purse and your wallet was missing? I was freaking out because I have everything in there. My license, all my debit cards, I just got an ICET (Integrated Common Entrance Test) card because I am going to Peru for the winter and I was freaking out because I just got it and that was such a big relief that I got it and it’s my new favorite wallet too. Why are you going to Peru? I’m doing this program called Imaginations, where I am going to do clinical medicine there, where I will work for like three weeks in a clinic there. Is that what you want to do out of college? Yeah, I want to be a doctor and hopefully work internationally. That’s awesome. If you could trade places with anyone right now, who would it be? Tough question. Well, I guess I loved my senior year, so probably someone in their senior year. Freshman year of college is tougher than you’d think it be. I definitely underestimated how difficult classes would be and how difficult it is to not do absolutely everything because there is so much going on. So senior year was fun and it’s the point where classes aren’t as difficult because you’re a senior, so they’re lenient on you. You said there are a lot of things here you want to get involved in. What is the coolest thing you want to be a part of or do here at the U of A? I don’t know. Well, I am pretty involved now. I love everything. I think the clubs are the best because there is like everything you could be interested in. I think that’s my favorite part. How is dorm life treating you? Are you hating Residence Life yet? I like it. My dorm is really quiet, which is nice, and I can just get homework done when I’m there, and everyone is friendly. If you had to live in either a dorm or igloo the rest of your life, which would you chose? I’ve never tried an igloo so hey, I’ll try the igloo. I don’t know for the rest of my life but I would get so sick of a dorm. Yeah, but you’d be living with polar bears. Polar bears are cute though. — Caroline Nachazel

Grad student makes music using DNA in AIDS virus We’re always hearing sobering news about the widespread AIDS epidemic, but, until now, you’ve probably never “heard” about HIV quite like this. Alexandra Pajak, a graduate student at the University of Georgia, has just created a whole new way of looking at the complexities of HIV by combining the biology of the disease with music. For months, Pajak carefully studied the different types of DNA that make up the AIDS virus and assigned musical pitches to each individual strand. What resulted was a 17-track, 52-minute album of transcribed “DNA music,” appropriately dubbed

“Sounds of HIV.” “I wanted to show all of the properties that the DNA in HIV contains. Hopefully it’s a whole new way for people to learn about the science behind the disease,”Pajak said. The graduate student — who studied music as an undergrad at Agnes Scott College — said the project took her more than three months to complete because she wanted to compose the most accurate musical translation possible of the genetic code of HIV. “I stayed very loyal to the DNA. Every segment of the virus was assigned music pitches that correspond to the segment’s scientific properties. The sounds literally reflect the nature

of the virus,”she explained. Pajak said she first broke down the basic nucleotides in the DNA — scientifically abbreviated A,C,T and G — and assigned tones to those. Luckily, A, C and G are also already musical pitches in the scale, so she said matching up that part was easy. “There was a lot of logic involved in this. I also broke down 20 amino acids and proteins and assigned pitches to those. I used the A-minor scale for the amino acids based on their level of attraction to water. So, when you hear this CD, you’re literally hearing the entire genome of the HIV virus. It’s pretty cool,”she added. — AOL News

Man sentenced to death for murder, assault McClatchy Tribune NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A Superior Court jury Monday sentenced Steven Hayes to death for the murders of Jennifer HawkePetit and her daughters, Hayley and Michaela, at their Cheshire, Conn., home in July 2007. Outside the courthouse after the verdict, Hawke-Petit’s father, the Rev. Richard Hawke, said, “There are some people who do not deserve to live in God’s world.” Dr. William Petit Jr., who survived the brutal attack on his family, said, “This is a verdict for justice.” But, he said, as the verdict was read, “I was really thinking of the tremendous loss … I was sad for the loss we have all suffered … “Probably many of you have kids,” Petit said, pausing to choke back tears. His voice breaking, he said, “Michaela was an 11-yearold little girl. She was tortured and killed in her own bedroom, surrounded by her stuffed animals.” Petit also talked about his daughter Hayley’s bright future and her strength and the many children that his wife, Jennifer, helped. Petit thanked the jury for doing its job, and said, “I appreciate the fact that there was seven women on the jury. This was a case of sexual predation … I liked to see women stand up for other women.” Hawke-Petit was raped during the attack, and Michaela was sexually assaulted, according to testimony. “Crimes like this have to be pursued and prosecuted vigorously,” he said. “The easy way out is to plead things out.” He described how New Haven state’s attorney

Michael Dearington came to his house and said, “If any case deserves the death penalty, it’s this one. If I don’t go for it, there’s no reason to have it on the books.” Petit said he agreed. “In a civilized society, people need to be responsible for their actions,” he said. He criticized those who accused the media and family members of creating an atmosphere of blood lust. “That is the kettle calling the pot black,” he said. Asked if he thought there would be closure now, Petit said, “There’s never closure. There’s a hole … with jagged edges … that may smooth out with time, but the hole in your heart and the hole in your soul” remains. Inside the courtroom, Hayes looked straight ahead — as he has throughout the entire trial — as the jury of seven women and five men, after deliberating for 17 hours, sentenced Hayes to death on all six possible death-penalty counts. He will be formally sentenced Dec. 2. Once the sentencing date was set, Judge Jon C. Blue looked over at Hayes. “The defendant may be taken down,” Blue said. New Haven public defender Thomas J. Ullmann shook Hayes’ hand and patted his arm before a judicial marshal led him out of the room. “He’s thrilled,” Ullmann said of Hayes. “He’s very happy with the verdict,” Ullmann said to reporters outside the courthouse. Ullmann declined to say why he thought Hayes was thrilled and he refused to discuss what he talked about with Hayes. But he said he saw Hayes smile as the verdict

was read. “That’s what he wanted,” he said, adding that Hayes wanted to commit “suicide by state” with an execution. “He’s tried to kill himself before,” Ullmann said. “The jury gave him what he wants.” As the verdicts were read in the solemn courtroom, Petit became emotional, his eyes filling with tears as the victim’s advocate grabbed his hand. At one point, upon hearing the names of his wife and daughters, Petit closed his eyes. Nearby, Petit’s mother, his sister and several other relatives also

cried, some dropping their heads as the court clerk read through the verdicts. There was no elation on that side of the gallery. Several jurors also cried and comforted one another with touches on hands or arms. Some looked over at the Petit family as the verdicts were read. Dearington, in a nod to the upcoming trial of the second defendant in the case, Joshua Komisarjevsky, he said: “It’s not over yet.” Hayes, 47, of Winsted, Conn., was convicted Oct. 5 of breaking into the Petit home, beating Petit, tying up and torturing the family as

Hayes and another man ransacked the home for cash and valuables and tortured the family for seven hours. Testimony during Hayes’ trial showed that at one point in the break-in, Hayes forced HawkePetit to go to the bank to withdraw money. During that time, according to testimony, Komisarjevsky sexually assaulted Michaela Petit, 11. When Hawke-Petit and Hayes returned from the bank, Hayes raped and strangled Hawke-Petit. The house was doused with gasoline and set on fire as the intruders fled, testimony showed. Hayley, 17, and Michaela died of smoke inhalation.

EDITORIAL Special ed outreach benefits all

he UA, in partnership with the Tucson Unified School District, is piloting a program that would allow intellectually handicapped students to get a full college experience, from taking classes to participating in campus life. The program, Project FOCUS (Focusing Opportunities with Community and University Support) is part of a $2.5 million, five-year federal effort to help special education students pay for and adjust to college, according to a report in the Arizona Daily Star. For many of these students, the program will mean the difference between a lowpaying job in fast food and opportunities in fields like data-entry, which have much higher pay and may include benefits and job security. In addition, the social aspects of being on a college campus help those with intellectual disabilities build social and interpersonal skills, which further increase their employment opportunities. The UA program is part of a growing effort on many campuses to integrate intellectually handicapped people into university life. According to The Associated Press, only four similar programs existed just eight years ago. Today, more than 250 campuses allow these students to enroll in

classes and provide them with extra help from tutors and mentors. Of course, no such program comes without its detractors. Right-wing thinker Charlotte Allen voiced the concerns of many fiscally conservative skeptics when she told the AP she thought such programs undermined the true purpose of college, which is, she said, to earn a degree. “It may make intellectually disabled people feel better, but is that what college is supposed to be all about?” Allen said. It’s easy, but inaccurate, to say that something is not useful when it doesn’t seem immediately useful. True, most of these students are not seeking a bachelor’s degree — the UA’s program is designed to provide just two years of classes, after which the students can decide what to pursue next. However, to dismiss such programs as wasteful is incredibly shortsighted. In addition to offering an incredible opportunity to people who would otherwise have an almost impossible time seeking a university education, providing better life skills and job market training to intellectually handicapped people can only help the overall economy. Without such training, their choices are more or less limited to adult assisted living communities, living with family, accepting some kind of government-subsidized help or working for minimum wage or below at a low-skill job. None of these options contribute to a vibrant, healthy economy. On the other hand, a better educated, more highly skilled and better-paid workforce contributes enormously to the overall health of the economy. Programs such as Project FOCUS help people become part of such a workforce, providing individuals with opportunities and enhancing the overall vitality of the economy. Dismissing such programs because of their cost now blindly ignores their payoff later. The UA and Tucson Unified School District deserve commendation for piloting such a project. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat opinions board and written by one of its members.

Trouble brewing with ‘Tea Party Senate’ Andrew Shepherd

Arizona Daily Wildcat

s a result of the Nov. 2 election, Arizona Republicans have increased their majority in the State Legislature. Republicans now outnumber Democrats in the Senate 21 to 9 and 40 to 20 in the House of Representatives. The Republicans also hold all major state offices, including governor, secretary of state, attorney general and state superintendent of public instruction. Democrats will be pretty useless over the next few years, and the Republican leadership won’t care one bit what the other side of the aisle has to say. The unpredictable, “purple” Arizona that only three years ago had a Democratic governor can now be colored in the boldest shade of red. So what can we expect from the new leadership? More budget cuts, tax increases, and all-out nuttiness. Last week, Republicans in the Senate selected their new president. Whom did they choose? None other than Sen. Russell Pearce, the tough-talking sponsor of Arizona’s controversial immigration law, S.B. 1070, known for getting his way and for his inability to compromise. Pearce says the chamber will be known as the “Tea Party Senate,” reflecting his will to “take a bottom-up approach that listens to the people’s will on fiscal accountability issues and not follow mandates from the Republican National Committee.” This sounds nice; after all, who doesn’t like a bottom-up approach that listens to the people’s will? However, somebody should tell the “Tea Party Senate’s president-elect”

that most Arizonans don’t like cutting popular programs to solve the current budgetary mess, something the Republican caucus inevitably plans to do. In last week’s election, voters rejected Propositions 301 and 302, which would have taken funding away from early childhood health and development programs as well as a land conservation fund, in order to help close the gap in the state’s budget. Also, earlier this year, Arizonans voted for a tax increase in order to aid the state’s struggling education system. However, none of this matters to the members of the Legislature, as they will continue to believe that cutting the budget is the only way to solve the current mess. They will continue cutting education (especially funding for universities), early childhood health care and other popular programs, all in the name of fiscal responsibility. Pearce says the Legislature will trim the fat out of the state’s budget, eliminating government waste. However, isn’t that what the Legislature has been doing for the past two years? Any waste the legislators are able to find (if any) will surely be miniscule and have very little effect on the budget as a whole. All that’s really left to cut are popular programs like education and health care, as well as funding to vital state agencies, such as the office of the attorney general. The Republicans are also looking to implement a flat tax on income, eliminating the state’s progressive tax system. This means that everyone will pay the same

tax rate, poor or rich. This of course will greatly benefit the wealthy, but will mean a tax increase for the lower and middle classes. The exact rate hasn’t been decided yet, but in order to be effective, it will have to be higher than the current rate set for lower and middle income families. In The Arizona Republic, Republican Sen. Frank Antenori equated the current progressive tax system to “class warfare.” However, I invite him to make that same argument to the families that will see their taxes increase. The progressive tax system isn’t meant to punish the wealthy, but a flat income tax rate will hurt someone making $25,000 a year much more than someone making $125,000 a year. The wealthy aren’t exactly hurting and don’t need added help from the Legislature. The flat tax was defeated in previous years because it didn’t generate enough revenue for the state. Either the rate will have to be much higher than previous proposals, or state Republicans will only make the current budget worse. If taxes are going to be raised, it better be to raise revenue for the ailing state and to save vital programs instead of just to gain an ideological victory. More money for the wealthy may give them an incentive to spend more, but not nearly enough to fix our current budget. With the flat tax and increased budget cuts, the next few years will certainly be interesting. University students can expect to pay even more in tuition, while receiving less. The state’s public education system will become even more of a joke, and the overall effectiveness of the state government will diminish drastically. If you thought the Legislature was crazy during the last session (remember guns in bars and the birther bill?) just wait and see what the next year brings. At least there will be plenty to write about. — Andrew Shepherd is a political science senior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

GUEST COLUMN

Outcome of election necessitates cooperation Tyler Quillin

fter an extremely revealing midterm election, most are unaware of the implications the results might mean for America. Many are quick to purport their party’s ability to assert its will in Congress, but this is foolish and a misunderstanding of what indeed transpired Nov. 2. Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives and Democrats held a small majority in the Senate. This means two things: First, Americans are hurting. This is no surprise. We are in the worst economic climate since the Great Depression. One in 10 Americans are out of work. Slews of the working class are underemployed and living paycheck to paycheck. With adversity comes frustration. President Barack Obama and the Democrat-laden Congress apparently have either not done enough to fix these issues, not communicated such efforts effectively enough to the American people or simply not corrected the hardships Americans have been feeling over the past few years quickly enough. Second, the change of hands of power in the House of Representatives and lessening of the stronghold the Democrats had in the Senate means that everyone will now be

forced to work together. The rhetoric of the Republicans was filled with sound bites alluding to the repeal of health care reform, etc. These will not occur with a Democratic majority in the Senate and a Democrat as president with the power to veto legislation. Although the significant gains in the House of Representatives are a concern for the Democratic Party, Republicans would best be served to take a breath and look at the reality of the situation they are now in at the Capitol. Even Republican strategists are calling this a shift of frustration more than a shift of confidence. Erick Erickson, a Republican contributor on CNN and editor-in-chief of the conservative website RedState.com, stated that Republicans “have to be cautious, though, because the polling is showing that voters still don’t trust the GOP.” If the two parties fail to work together and approach each issue looking at party lines, rather than taking each one as an issue in and of itself, America’s frustration will continue five fold in the Congressional stalemate that will occur. “Compromise” is the word of the day, month, year, decade and maybe century. Rather than seeing political party lines, Congress must see the lines forming outside

of soup kitchens, payday loan establishments, salvation armies and food stamp distribution locations. We, as Americans, are fighting through some of the toughest adversity our country has seen in close to 80 years and, as such, it is time for our representative Congress to work together across party lines. Though these two parties have differing philosophies on how to bring about the best state of living, they need to acknowledge these differences and work to find common ground. We hear these phrases all the time, phrases such as “common ground,” “compromise,” “work together,” yet nothing seems to happen. As the power of the parties shifts in Congress and the White House, it seems to be a pervasively recurring theme. I just wonder when these two parties will begin to understand the message, that Americans want things done, not stalemates, political posturing or hateful campaign ads. Some argue that is it a necessary evil within the political process to get things done, but I reject this claim and hold that it is simply a conditioned element of the process that has existed so long, people have accepted it as reality. We essentially have a bipartisan system with both parties set on the notion that it is a single-party system. How much longer? — Tyler Quillin is a senior majoring in philosophy and English.

Racial undertones haunt battle for House MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — The battle over who will be the No. 2 leader of weakened House Democrats in the next Congress took on racial overtones Monday as Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who is white, and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, who is black, battled for supporters. Rep. Barbara Lee of California, who chairs the 41-member Congressional Black Caucus, told colleagues in a letter that it’s important to keep an African-American on the party’s House leadership team. Rep. Bobby Rush, an Illinois African-American, sent a separate letter backing Clyburn for the post. Thirty House Democrats — none of them black — sent colleagues their own letter soliciting support for Hoyer, who has served in Congress for three decades. The internal leadership contest between Hoyer, a convivial lawmaker from Maryland, and Clyburn, a South Carolinian who is the highestranking black member of Congress, was sparked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to seek the House minority leader job in the new Congress. Because her party will no

longer be in the majority in January, she’ll lose her speaker’s position. “With our country and our party at a crossroads, it is important that we have a leadership team in place that recognizes the strength and diversity of the Democratic caucus,” Lee wrote in her appeal for Clyburn. “Steny Hoyer has an important role to play in defending the accomplishments of this Congress, resisting Republican efforts that would weaken our middle class and rebuilding a Democratic majority,” the 30 lawmakers wrote in their letter. The 30 Hoyer supporters include seven Hispanic members, among them Reps. Linda Sanchez, Joe Baca, Dennis Cardoza and Lucille RoybalAllard of California, and Silvestre Reyes of Texas. “You may find the politics of race dictates a lot of what happens,” Michael Franc, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington, said. Hoyer formally declared his candidacy for minority whip Monday in a letter to his House peers. “I have been encouraged by the number of my fellow Democrats who have urged me to remain the secondranking member of our leadership

team in the House,” he wrote. Denying Clyburn a leadership post would offend many members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who will make up more than onefifth of House Democrats in the next legislative session. “It (would) send a bad signal to the country, especially leading into a presidential election where African-American turnout is important to Democrats,” said Darrell West, a government analyst with the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington. President Barack Obama will be heavily dependent on black voters in his 2012 re-election bid. Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who headed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, suggested that the party might create a House post in order for Hoyer and Clyburn to both remain in the leadership. “We’re going to look for a way to make sure that both these members can stay in the Democratic leadership,” Van Hollen told CNN on Sunday. Clyburn defended Pelosi’s decision to remain the party’s top House leader over some Democratic

Gay student demands retraction, public apology from lawyer

Thomas said the attorney general’s office left a message on his office voicemail Saturday morning, telling him the hearing had been moved to Monday afternoon. He didn’t get the message until Monday morning. Thomas said he is shocked and confused, saying he doesn’t know what could have happened between Friday afternoon, when the hearing began, and Saturday afternoon. A message was left with the attorney general’s office seeking comment. “This smells political to me,” Thomas said. He said Shirvell has received excellent performance reviews from his bosses, and that his employers knew of Shirvell’s off-work activities. “There’s been a tremendous piling on against Andrew. The liberal media started this tempest in a teapot.” “Andrew’s reaction is that he’s devastated over the loss of his employment,” Thomas said. Armstrong’s attorney, Deborah Gordon, issued a statement this afternoon in which she said the attorney general’s office made the correct decision. Gordon and Armstrong have filed complaints with the Michigan Grievance Commission, asking it to investigate Shirvell and possibly disbar him. “The next step must be a complete retraction of all the malicious lies and fabrications by Mr. Shirvell,

and a public apology to Chris Armstrong, his family and the others Mr. Shirvell has slandered.” Gordon went on to say it’s time for Shirvell to realize there are consequences to his “reckless, outrageous statements and actions and that he is solely responsible for those consequences.” Until now, Shirvell has won battles. Armstrong dropped a request for a personal protection order in Washtenaw court. The Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s office declined to file a stalking charge against Shirvell, saying that while Shirvell’s comments “are offensive and mean spirited,” they don’t meet the definition of harassment under Michigan’s stalking statute. The University of Michigan also essentially lifted Shirvell’s ban from campus, allowing Shirvell on campus but requiring him to stay away from Armstrong. The firing was confirmed in a statement Monday afternoon from Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, who said Shirvell was fired for conduct unbecoming a state employee, especially that of an assistant attorney general. “To be clear, I refuse to fire anyone for exercising their First Amendment rights, regardless of how popular or unpopular their positions might be. However, Shirvell repeatedly violated office policies, engaged in borderline

stalking behavior, and inappropriately used state resources, our investigation showed.” Among the examples cited by Cox in the statement: • Showed up at the home of a private citizen three times, including once at 1:30 a.m. That incident is especially telling because it clearly was about harassing Mr. Armstrong, not engaging in free speech. • Further engaged in behavior that, while not perhaps sufficient to charge criminal stalking, was harassing, uninvited and showed a pattern that was in the everyday sense, stalking. • Harassing Armstrong’s friends as they were socializing in Ann Arbor; • Numerous calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, Armstrong’s employer, in an attempt to slander Armstrong — and ultimately attempting to cause Pelosi to fire Armstrong; • Attempting to “out” Armstrong’s friends as homosexual, several of whom were not gay. Cox said Shirvell engaged in his campaign against Shirvell on company time and posted attacks on Armstrong on the Internet while at work. “Finally, Shirvell lied to investigating assistant attorneys general on several occasions during his disciplinary hearing.”

leadership,” Clyburn said of the voting returns that saw Republicans gain 60 House seats, with nine races still too close to call. “It had everything to do with an economy that was close to collapse,” Clyburn said.

CHEATING

New test written, old key useless

the business dean that would allow students to clear their records if they owned up to cheating before the rewritten exam started being administered Monday morning. An investigation is under way to determine how students got their hands on the exam key in advance. All faculty have been alerted about the apparent security breach, Quinn told students. Someone anonymously dropped off a copy of the exam key at Quinn’s office not long after the exam was given earlier this month. Some students also were starting to complain about classmates who were bragging about acing the exam because they had copies of the exam key. Quinn reviewed exam scores and discovered it is likely that one-third of the students in the strategic management course cheated. He decided not to cancel the course because it would be unfair to students who did not cheat. But he did toss the exam scores for everybody. Faculty members have rewritten the midterm — 200 questions — so the exam key for the original test is useless. The final exam still to be given has also been rewritten, Quinn told students. Quinn was not immediately available for comment. “The days of being able to find a new way to cheat the system are over,” Quinn told students. “This type of behavior cannot, will not be tolerated.” “It’s disappointing these actions took place,” UCF spokesman Grant Heston said of the apparent cheating, but the incident demonstrates policies in place to detect cheating are working. UCF has testing labs that are monitored to deter cheating.

Egregious misspelling of curb?

Two road signs in Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage were vandalized with graffiti on Thursday at 9:29 a.m., a UA employee reported. The employee called the University of Arizona Police Department first, but said another individual had already reported the graffiti to Parking and Transportation Services at around the same time. The graffiti read “KERB” in black marker, with a design along it. The UA employee was not able to clean the graffiti off the signs so he had to replace both of them with new ones, each valued at $100.

Grinder? Oh, I though you meant my sandwich

A student was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia on Friday at 12:30 a.m. A UAPD officer went to the student’s dorm room that night at 11:52 p.m. after the resident assistant reported that he could smell marijuana coming from that room. The RA took the officer to the student’s room, where they talked. The student told the officer that he did not smoke any marijuana that night, though he had a grinder that he used for it. The student pulled out a silver-colored grinder from his desk drawer and handed it to the officer. There was a leafy residue that resembled freshly cultivated marijuana inside of it. The student gave the officer permission to search his side of the room, which he shared with another student. The officer found Zig-Zag rolling papers in the top drawer of his desk as well as several empty cans of Four Loko in his room. The student was cited and released at the scene for possession of drug paraphernalia. The grinder and rolling papers were taken into property as evidence.

Of course it belonged to ‘some random guy’

Two students were arrested for possession and use of marijuana on Halloween at 8 p.m. An officer was on foot patrol near Highland Commons when he noticed two men smoking as they sat in a far, concealed corner. As he approached the men, he smelled marijuana. The smell got stronger as he walked toward them. When the officer was about ten feet in front of the two, they quickly hid what they were smoking. The officer approached the table and noticed a small wooden container. It resembled the marijuana containers he had seen in previous cases. He asked the men if he could see it, and they said yes. The officer opened it and noticed there was an unusable amount of marijuana on the inside of the container. It smelled strongly of the drug. He also observed that the small “one hit pipe,” which is a smoking device usually kept inside this type of container, was missing. He asked the two men if they had it. One of them held it out to the officer, and the officer noticed marijuana residue on it. Both of the items were confiscated and submitted to UAPD as property and evidence. The pipe was sent away for testing to confirm that the resin was actually marijuana. One man said that the wooden container belonged to “some random guy,” and did not provide a name or location for this person. The officer arrested the two men for possession and use of marijuana and paraphernalia and they were released at the scene.

Silver and green? Better off stolen

A student reported that her bicycle was stolen from the bike racks on the north side of the Physics and Atmospheric Sciences building on Thursday at about 11:07 p.m. She told the police she had locked her bicycle to the racks that day at 5:30 p.m. and when she returned it was gone. Her bike is silver and green, but she said that since it was so old she did not have any record of a serial number.

Stoops trying to make sense of it Head coach blames loss on coaches and players, said they were out played

By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat Like most probably expected, head coach Mike Stoops had little explanation for his team’s performance in its 4217 loss to Stanford on Saturday. “I thought it was pretty accurate the other night. We just didn’t play well enough to win,” Stoops said. “We just got outplayed and out-executed across the board, and that was frustrating.” While Arizona (7-2, 4-2 Pacific 10 Conference) has plenty to be proud of so far this season, the 60 minutes of football against the Cardinal were very concerning. The 510 yards that Stanford totaled against the hapless Wildcats would indicate that Arizona wasn’t prepared, but according to Stoops that wasn’t the case. “We knew it would be a tough matchup but overall we had a good week. We just couldn’t get the things done,” Stoops said. “Too many dropped balls, mistakes, getting hit early wasn’t good, giving up a big play early wasn’t good.” To his credit, Stoops did not blame solely the players for mistakes on the field. He suggested the entire program was responsible for the loss and needs to move forward from it. “It was a community effort. Coaches, players everybody kind of contributed to the loss,” Stoops said. “We need to bounce back, and we have before.” On the bright side, Arizona escaped Saturday’s game without a major injury. However, the physical nature of the Cardinal left a few Wildcats nicked up. Running back Nic Grigsby and wide receiver Juron Criner both missed

snaps due to separate ankle injuries. Quarterback Nick Foles, despite being hit frequently, is said to be OK as well. One injury note that surfaced shortly before the game was that Matt Scott’s wrist injury is much worse than coaches let on after the UCLA game. It turns out that Scott was hit on the wrist several times against the Bruins and has been wearing a brace since. He didn’t even dress for the Stanford game and isn’t expected to dress for this weekend’s matchup with USC either. Stoops said Scott, who filled in for Foles by beating Washington and UCLA, is listed as week-to-week.

Sending an APB for Trevin Wade

You might recall seeing Arizona cornerback Trevin Wade dominating Pac10 receivers on a weekly basis in 2009, and you might even remember him being named to several preseason AllPac-10 and All-American teams this summer as well. Unfortunately, Wade hasn’t lived up to the hype this year, and Stoops isn’t quite sure why. “It just hasn’t been a typical year for him,” Stoops said. “I don’t know. He hasn’t played like he’s capable of. He has to keep working at it. Sometimes you get in a slump and it’s hard to get out of. You have to work your way out of it and practice your way out of it. He just hasn’t had the production we’re used to seeing from him.” Stoops appropriately said afterward that the poor performance of the secondary isn’t Wade’s fault, but he said his technique needs improvement. Freshman cornerback Shaquille Richardson will get a look at possibly starting should Wade continue to falter.

Swim dominates Wildcats romp Wisconsin in first dual meet of season By Kelly Hultgren Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona swim team defeated the Wisconsin Badgers in their dual meet last Friday at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center with the winning scores of 187-74 for men and 158-104 for women. On the women’s side, freshman Margo Geer continued to live up to her high expectations of being a newcomer to watch out for. Being in the limelight isn’t foreign territory for Geer, who also stood out in her home state of Ohio. However, having a supportive team that pushes her is new for the swimmer. “I came from a really small

swim team,” Geer said. “Actually, I was the only swimmer on my high school team, so I’m not really used to having a team back me up all the time. So it’s been really nice to have that — a great experience really.” Fueled by her competitive nature and team’s support, each meet is important for Geer. “We race hard every meet,” she said. “Every meet has just been a great opportunity, but we’ve been focusing on Texas.” On Friday, Geer won three freestyle events for Arizona: the 200 yard in 1:49.21, the 100 yard in 49.30 and the 50 yard in 22.75.

Men’s golf wraps up fall schedule By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Sophomore Kevin Parrom dribbles up the court in Arizona’s 70-59 win over Augustana College on Sunday at McKale Center. The forward has missed several practices this season due to a concussion.

By Vincent Balistreri Arizona Daily Wildcat When Arizona basketball forward Kevin Parrom entered the media room with teammates Derrick Williams and Solomon Hill after their exhibition 70-59 victory against Augustana College on Sunday, he probably expected questions about the team’s subpar showing. Instead, Parrom was hit with more questions about his performance on concussion tests than his performance on the hardwood on Sunday. Parrom suffered a concussion during preseason practices when he was hit with an elbow by teammate Kyle Fogg, which resulted in his head hitting the floor and him missing more than half of the team’s practices. During the post-game press conference on Sunday, Parrom was constantly asked about his lack of playing time over the last year due to injury. At one point a reporter asked

Parrom to tell him about the process of the concussion test. Parrom responded with, “Are you serious?” while grinning, appearing shocked and a little annoyed that so much attention was being paid to his injury. Though Parrom may want everyone to move past his injury history, the reality is that since his arrival at Arizona, injuries have delayed his growth as a player. During his freshman season, Parrom missed the first 10 games with a stress fracture in his left foot, then missed four games toward the end in the season with pain in the same foot. “One thing in coaching Kevin (Parrom) that’s evident, is when you miss as much time as he did last year, he’s not as far along as the other guys in his class,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. ”He probably missed 60 or 70 practices last year and 10 so far this year.” In Sunday’s game against

Augustana College, Parrom’s lack of practice time showed as he turned the ball over four times in only 13 minutes of play. “I had a concussion two weeks ago and a week ago I started slowly getting back into practice, learning two positions,” said Parrom after the game. “I just wanted to come out today and do the best that I could.” Parrom spent the off-season working on his body and doesn’t seem to be concerned with the fact that he has missed a lot time since coming to Arizona. “I’m a basketball player, I work out and play every day so it’s nothing new to me,” he said. “I just tried to work on my body and my jump shot in the off-season.” Parrom has a reputation as a hardnosed player that isn’t afraid to commit a hard foul. He solidified that reputation when he committed a hard foul on Arizona State’s Ty HOOPS, page 8

The University of Arizona men’s golf team has had a disappointing and frustrating season, but they have one more chance to right its wrongs this week. The team will compete in the Gifford Collegiate Championship which starts today and will continue until Wednesday. This will be the last tournament the Wildcats will play in for the fall. “We need to find more than one guy that can play a little bit,” head coach Rick LaRose said. We are looking for a couple of our young guys to step up a little bit.” The coaching staff had to change the line up around with sophomore Juan Pablo Hernandez out for this tournament. Hernandez was selected by Mexico to represent the country in a tournament in Argentina. Hernandez will be replaced in the lineup by freshman Tye Beall. “We have really high hopes for Tye, great young freshman player,” LaRose said. LaRose also has high expectations for other players to perform as well. “I need Erik Oja to take the lessons he learned in his Orlando debacle and play a little bit better,” LaRose said. “We certainly have a lot of room for improvement but we are going to be ok. We are a little better then we have shown.”

The Orlando debacle that LaRose was referring to was the Isleworth Collegiate in which the team struggled and landed in last place. “One or two bad swings just multiply for us more than they should an we just can’t find a way to recover,” said assistant coach Andy Barnes. “Depth and inconsistency are definitely a part of it.” Although the team has struggled all year LaRose does not think the team is down on themselves or lost any confidence. After the Isleworth Collegiate senior captain Tarquin MacManus voiced his displeasure in how the season has gone so far. “I think we are getting frustrated,” MacManus said. “The more frustrated we get the more it’s probably not going to work out.” The Wildcats will have their hands full this weekend as they compete against three schools that are ranked in the top 20, including No. 1 UCLA and No.6 Augusta State. Augusta State is also the defending NCAA champion. The team is not giving this tournament any added appeal because it is it the end of their fall schedule. “Every tournament is important to us,” LaRose said. “We certainly want to put a few W’s on the left side of the column. It’s a big tournament. We can’t afford mistakes, you got to play good. If you want to play good you have to play the best and we are in search of excellence.”

W-Hoops Notes By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After outscoring their exhibition opponents 199-118 in its first two contests, the Arizona women’s basketball team will be able to bring a focus and momentum into its regular season opener on Friday in Kansas against the Wichita State Shockers. As preseason practice wraps up, let’s preview what the Wildcats will look like as they kick-start their hopeful trek to the NCAA Tournament in March.

Tim Glass/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Freshman forward Erica Barnes grabs a rebound in Arizona’s 109-62 win over Western College on Sunday at McKale Center. Barnes is expected to give forward Ify Ibekwe some much-needed help down low this season.

HOOPS continued from page 7

Abbott on a breakaway, spurring the “No Easy Buckets” slogan he made popular amongst fans after a Twitter post. Parrom has since said he wants to move on from the slogan because it was the past and was heading in a negative direction. “I mean, I still want to be a tough player, but I think it was just going into a negative aspect, coming into the games as a boxer,” said Parrom

With the addition of newcomers Erica Barnes and Taylor Dalrymple, Arizona superstar Ify Ibekwe doesn’t have to be such an anchor down low this season. Barnes and Dalrymple have shown that strong post abilities in Arizona’s first two match-ups and will give Ibekwe the chance to stretch out to the wing to give opponents a taste of her outside shooting.

Shooting guards Incumbent Pacific 10 Conference

Freshman of the Year Davellyn Whyte came in with high expectations that she is already exceeding. Her 28 points against Western State proved how good of a player she really is. Perhaps more welcoming to Arizona staff this preseason has been the rise of junior Brooke Jackson, whose questionable shooting last year has been replaced with smart shot selection. The emergence of Jackson has given junior Reiko Thomas more time to recover from an ankle injury that has kept her out of the entire preseason. Jackson and Whyte have given Butts no reason to rush Thomas onto the court.

Point guards

Attempting to replace the tenacity and leadership of Ashley Frazier was no easy task for Arizona, but newcomer Candice Warthen and redshirt freshman Shanita Arnold have given Butts confidence that the position will be in good hands. Arnold will most likely assume the starting role, and with good reason: her 22 points and 15 assists

Sophomore trying to play smarter, remain tough during media day. “I still want to be a defensive-minded player.” Parrom is healthy now, as he heads into the season opener, but a preseason concussion raises the question of whether he’s an injury-prone player due to his aggressive play. “I hope that it’s isolated, concussions aren’t something you see a lot in basketball. It’s just his head hit the floor, it could have happened to anybody,” Miller said. “He is a physical

against Western State gave her her first double-double at Arizona. According to Butts, Warthen’s ability to run out of a camera frame will really give an extra burst off the bench to the Wildcats’ performance on both sides of the ball.

Makayla and Jordan get a locker

The team officially welcomed three-year-old Makayla Smith and her sister Jordan to the Wildcat family by presenting them with their very own locker, complete with team jerseys in the women’s basketball locker room. Makayla, who was diagnosed with a pediatric brain tumor in May 2009, and her family were brought to the team through the non-profit foundation Friends of Jaclyn, which connects pediatric brain cancer patients with local athletic teams for a second support system. Makayla and her family will be welcome at any event all season and will be added support and inspiration for the team as a whole.

player but I’m hoping he can have a good streak of health here.” Though Parrom wants to move past the discussion of his injuries and the “No Easy Buckets” slogan, just like his development as a player, it will take some time. “I would say Kevin (Parrom) is a work in progress.” Miller said. “I’m hopeful in couple weeks he can show even more progress as he catches on.”

Wade Phillips fired as Cowboys head coach McClatchy Newspapers

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Senior Dana Christ swims to victory in Arizona women’s 158-104 win over Wisconsin on Friday. Both the men’s and women’s teams defeated the Badgers with ease in Arizona’s first traditional dual meet of the season.

three times are considered to be NCAA “B” cut times. Moreover, she rounded out the 200 free relay team that also won their event. Regardless of her notable performances, Geer stays modest and admits to having faults. She’s constantly trying to improve her form. “We actually started working on my starts and my turns for sprinting,” Geer said. “We’ve been working on that a lot since I’ve gotten here, and they’ve already improved.” Another swimmer who made NCAA consideration times was captain Alyssa Anderson. The junior won the 500- and 1,000-yard freestyle races for the women, and the 400-yard I.M. Her finishing time of 4.48.74 in the 500y is also NCAAworthy. For the men’s team, the Wildcats’ didn’t even let the

Badgers’ get past a hundred points thanks to strong performances by junior captain Cory Chitwood, sophomore Carl Mickelson and freshman Matt Barber. Chitwood won two events and contributed to a medley win. He won his national title race, the 200yard backstroke, in 1:48.10, and the 200y freestyle in 1:40.19. Additionally, he was the leadoff leg for the 400y-medley relay win. Both Mickelson and Barber also had two individual race wins. Mickelson dominated the breaststroke events by winning both the 100y and 200y with times of 56.24 and 2:01.53, respectively. While Mickelson handled the breaststroke, Barber took control of the freestyle events, winning both the 500y free in 4:37.40 and the 1,000y free in 9:35.10.

Head coach Frank Busch’s prediction of the Wisconsin women’s team being a greater power than the men’s was sound. The proof was in the scores. “As a whole, we swam a lot better,” Busch said. “All and all, I feel like we competed really well in both teams. This week is going to be a different story, we are going up against two really good teams, UCLA and USC.”

USC Diving Invitational

The Arizona diving team was in Los Angeles this past weekend to compete in the USC Diving Invitational. By the end of the tournament on Saturday, five of the top eight finishers were Arizona divers, including Andres Guerra, Sean Clark, David Austin, Ainsley Oliver and Samantha Pickens.

IRVING, Texas — Less than 10 months after he was given a twoyear contract extension, Wade Phillips is no longer the Dallas Cowboys head coach, according to sources. For the first time in team history, the Cowboys have made an in-season coaching change with owner and general manager Jerry Jones handing the interim job to their assistant head coach Jason Garrett. Phillips’ job security has been a consistent question even after winning two NFC East titles in three seasons but the Cowboys’ 1-7 start forced Jones to do something he has never done before and consistently said this season he would not do. The last straw was the 45-7 loss Sunday night to the Green Bay Packers, in which the Cowboys rushed for 39 total yards, allowed 28 second-quarter points and turned the ball over four times. The Cowboys lost 35-17 to Jacksonville the week before at Cowboys Stadium. Phillips’ defense allowed Jaguars quarterback David Garrard to throw four touchdown passes, Maurice Jones-Drew to rush for 135 yards and wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker to gain 153 receiving yards. The Cowboys entered 2010 with the hopes of being the first team to play in a Super Bowl in its own stadium only to

see dreams of a spot in Super Bowl XLV crash. The only team with a worse record than the Cowboys is winless Buffalo. Phillips finished with a 34-22 record, but his time will be remembered more for what the Cowboys were unable to accomplish. In 2007, the Cowboys finished with an NFCbest 13-3 record but were knocked out of the divisional round of the playoffs by the New York Giants, 21-17, at Texas Stadium. The Giants ended up winning the Super Bowl. In 2008, the Cowboys missed the playoffs altogether with a 9-7 mark that culminated with a 44-6 embarrassment at Philadelphia to close the regular season. Last year the Cowboys rallied to finish 11-5 and ended their playoff-win drought with a 34-14

win against Philadelphia in the wild-card round, but they were crushed the following week by Minnesota, 34-3. The Cowboys hired Phillips on Feb. 8, 2007 after an exhaustive search to replace Bill Parcells, who went 3430 in his four years as coach. Phillips’ easygoing manner and success in running the 3-4 defense was viewed as the perfect antidote to Parcells’ strict regime. It worked at first with the 13-3 start, but the Cowboys were among the most penalized team in the league during his tenure and could not create enough turnovers defensively. The Cowboys marked Phillips’ third full-time head coaching stops (Denver , Buffalo) and including two interim jobs (New Orleans, Atlanta), he has an 82-60 record but went just 1-5 in the postseason.

do drinking behaviors Q How in college affect drinking behaviors post-college?

A. now continued after you graduated? Could you continue

Can you imagine if some of the behaviors you engage in

to add up multiple sleepless nights exploring Fourth Avenue or relishing house parties and still hold a meaningful job? How long would your marriage last if you still enjoyed the youthful freedom to be continually sparked by the next cute thing who flits by? What would your body be like if you are still eating excessive amounts of late night chili cheese dogs at age 45? So... not a pretty picture! There are incredible behaviors that you will participate in while at college. Actively engaging in knowledge and discussion, exploring identity, celebrating diversity, new sensations and relationships are all part of a successful college experience. These behaviors constitute a college lifestyle that opens one up to being a life-long learner. However, continuing to be a life-long, high-risk drinker presents greater chance for harm and serious consequences. College students who are problem drinkers that use alcohol to cope with personal problems and boost self-confidence are more likely to continue excessive drinking into adulthood. This is the result found by senior author Ada Demb’s 2009 Ohio State University survey which suggests that adults who are still highrisk drinkers by age 34 may have inadvertently used alcohol as a crutch during college.

S G G E & S G

The good news is that high risk drinkers who stopped problem drinking after college typically reduced their alcohol use while still in school. Most students learn that the best way to enjoy the benefits of alcohol while minimizing undesirable outcomes is to moderate how much they drink. This is a trend that is reflected in each ongoing year here at UA where a natural “maturing” process occurs.

PAC-10 POWER RANKINGS By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

For the majority of the 2010 season, the Pacific 10 Conference hierarchy has been uncertain outside of frontrunner Oregon. But with another week of inconference battles in the books and only a quarter of the season remaining for most, the Pac-10 pecking order is finally taking shape. Here’s a look at this week’s Pac-10 power rankings:

NO. 1 OREGON

(9-0, 6-0 Pac-10)

The Ducks are not only far and away the best team in the conference, but also the top squad in the nation. They’re racking up a ridiculous 54.67 points per contest, featuring an offense that’s college football’s version of the 2004-05 “Seven Seconds or Less” Phoenix Suns. They let Washington hang around momentarily last week before Darron Thomas and LaMichael James combined for six scores to step on the throats of the howling Huskies. With Cal, Arizona and Oregon State rounding out their 2010 campaign, the Ducks are well on their way to an undefeated season and a trip to the BCS National Championship.

NO. 6 STANFORD

(8-1, 5-1 Pac-10)

Through eight games Stanford had yet to earn the title of Pac-10’s second best — until it embarrassed Arizona in Stanford Stadium last Saturday. The Cardinal and Andrew Luck dominated the Wildcats in every aspect of the game on their way to a 42-17 win that proved they are indeed the best one-loss team in America.

NO. 18 ARIZONA

(7-2, 4-2 Pac-10)

While Stanford proved its worth on Saturday, the Wildcats showed they weren’t quite ready for primetime. They were thoroughly dominated, offensively and defensively, and those chants of “Rose Bowl” that have broken huddles since training camp quickly faded. Although Arizona continued its streak of laying an egg in big games, it still remains the third-best team in the conference with a pair of bowl games to play for in the Holiday Bowl and

Alamo Bowl. But it doesn’t get any easier for Arizona, with USC, Oregon and ASU on tap to close out the season.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

(6-3, 3-3 Pac-10):

What’s more confusing than an uber-talented team with nothing to play for? Enter the Trojans. USC has the talent to land at No. 2 or No. 3 in the Pac-10, but its inconsistencies (hanging with Stanford but losing to Washington) leave the Trojans at a reasonable four-spot. That could easily change this weekend, however, when USC heads to Tucson to take on the Wildcats. They’re coming off of a 34-33 win over ASU and have the talent to bring even more disappointment to the state of Arizona.

OREGON STATE

(4-4, 3-2 Pac-10) The Beavers are yet another Pac-10 team that’s difficult to gauge. One week Ryan Katz turns in a Heisman-like performance in a win over Arizona, but a few games later the Beavers score only 14 in a loss to UCLA. Oregon State is still better than the conference bottom-feeders but lacks the consistency to crack into the upper-echelon.

CALIFORNIA

(5-4, 3-3 Pac-10)

Cal has quickly proven they’re respectable at home and near embarrassing on the road. While they’re 4-0 at home, the Golden Bears are 1-4 on the road. The Bears have 22 touchdowns at home compared to 10 scores on the road. Cal was able to pick up its first road win of the season last weekend with a 20-13 victory over Washington State. But it’s Washington State, so that doesn’t say much. Cal is another Pac-10 team that’s tough to put your finger on, but it should be a lot easier to gauge their caliber when they face No. 1 Oregon and No. 6 Stanford backto-back in the coming weeks.

UCLA

(4-5, 2-4 Pac-10)

Speaking of schizophrenic teams, UCLA and its pistol offense squeaked past Oregon State last weekend to continue its roller-

coaster ride of a season. The Bruins have proven they can beat teams like Texas and Oregon State, while falling to Stanford and Cal by a combined 707. Despite that inconsistency, they’re still better than ASU, Washington, and Wazzou.

ASU

(4-5, 2-4 Pac-10)

The Sun Devils have endured a season full of what-ifs. Aside from a 33-point drubbing at the hands of Cal, ASU has lost four of its five games by a combined 16 points, most recently a 34-33 loss to USC. The Sun Devils have surprised some people, nearly beating Wisconsin, and competing with Oregon, Oregon State and USC. But a loss is a loss and the Sun Devils still deserve to land at No. 8 in this week’s power rankings.

WASHINGTON

(3-6, 2-4 Pac-10)

It’s hard to say who’s been worse at living up to the expectations this season: The Huskies or quarterback Jake Locker. The former projected No. 1 pick has been banged up and is currently out with a broken rib, but he’s been a shell of the quarterback people expected him to be. And conversely, the Huskies have failed to live up to the hype. They’ve been blasted by Stanford, Arizona and Oregon, while beating Oregon State and USC by a combined two points. Despite the preseason belief, the Huskies are simply not very good.

WASHINGTON STATE

(1-9, 0-7 Pac-10)

The Cougars still have zero conference wins. But WSU has shown a few flashes of improvement this season. Quarterback Jeff Tuel was abysmal going 9-for-25 in a loss to Cal last weekend, but Wazzou has a potential to do the unthinkable and actually win a conference game this season. Bold prediction: the Cougars take their instate rival Washington and win their first conference game since November 22, 2008. Who was Wazzou’s
