Vigil honors victims of violence Pride Alliance holds silent procession, ends trans awareness week

By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT

The ASUA Pride Alliance hosted a candlelight vigil and silent procession for people who died as a result of hate crimes to recognize Transgender Day of Remembrance.

The event, which took place by the Old Main Fountain, brought more

than 100 people who read the names, dates, locations and cause of deaths for all 222 recorded transgender deaths around the world provided by the Trans Murder Monitoring Project.

“People are starting to notice, but it is up to us as a community to never let them forget,” said Erin Russ, Southern Arizona Gender Alliance program coordinator and anti-violence program advocate, during a speech to introduce the reading of the names and the lighting of candles, which floated in the fountain and also represented the number of transgender people

who died of hate-related crimes. Before the vigil began, 62 candles were lit for the names of people they did not have.

“We need to remember those who have died so their lives will go on and that their lives will have some meaning in bringing about change,” Russ said.

During the vigil, attendees held kites from the Made for Flight event on the UA Mall earlier this week.

Made for Flight is a project where local high schools and youth in Tucson create and decorate kites to educate

people on transgender issues, said Pride Alliance co-director Christina Bischoff, a junior studying ecology and evolutionary biology. The kites were also held during the silent procession from University Boulevard to Fourth Avenue that began after the names were read.

“Hopefully people will see this event as having an impact and will look into what it means to be an ally,” said Chris Kosters, a chemistry senior and Pride Alliance intern.

The day of remembrance was the last event the Pride Alliance held for

its Transgender Awareness Week, which featured a variety of campus programs shedding light on transgender-related issues.

“I’m really impressed by the turnout this whole week,” said Stephan Przybylowicz, a graduate student studying information resources and library sciences and a Pride Alliance co-director. “The campus has been really supportive of us and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) issues in general.”

Allen goes to Russia for fellows program

By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

James Allen, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, went to Russia for a week as part of the Kremlin Fellows Program. The program, fully funded by the Russian government, was formed to improve Russian-U.S. relations since their relative stagnation after the Cold War.

“These kids persevered, they stayed the course. They did everything we asked of them,” Kish said. “They prepared themselves as well as they have all year, and they should. It’s a rivalry game. It means a lot.”

The Ministry of Youth Affairs, within the jurisdiction of the Russian federation government, began a program one year ago called the Kremlin Fellows program.

The program aims to break stereotypes, network, share information and ultimately learn as much as possible to bring back to the United States and ensure increased collaboration between our countries. This information ranges from business and government partnerships to developing communication between Russian and American students while promoting our universities.

We met with three separate universities in Moscow with students at the very top of their classes and discussed the future of the U.S.Russia relationship, the problems to overcome and the opportunities for successful teamwork. On top of

The statue in the Student Union Memorial Center is a war memorial donated by James Muir. Muir donated three different statues commemorating UA veterans.

Two veterans are working together to remind students of the sacrifices of American servicemen and women.

Three war sculptures by James Muir are displayed in the Rotunda Gallery of the Student Union Memorial Center. A dedication ceremony for “Some Gave All” and “Band of

Brothers” took place on Memorial Day and the most recent “Shield of America” was installed on Veterans Day. The dedication ceremony will be on Dec. 7, the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

“To have these pieces accepted and recognized at the U of A is a tremendous honor to me as well as a continual affirmation that what I am doing is actually on the right track, that maybe I am doing some good,” Muir said.

Hundreds injured as protests rock Egypt MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

CAIRO, Egypt — Anger at Egypt’s ruling military council exploded into hours of fierce clashes in downtown Cairo and other cities Saturday that left two protesters dead and 750 wounded in violence that threatens the landmark elections scheduled to begin in nine days.

The battle for the iconic Tahrir Square began mid-morning Saturday when security services forcibly cleared the area of activists who tried to camp there in protest of the military council, which critics say is trying to expand its powers and delay the transfer of power to a civilian authority. The protesters had lingered from the previous day, when tens of thousands of Egyptians flooded the square in a peaceful antimilitary rally that was dominated by Islamist factions.

On Saturday, some Islamist leaders and youth movements sent reinforcements to defend the mostly liberal and leftist protesters after live TV footage showed security personnel firing on them with birdshot and tear-gas canisters.

Egyptian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf pleaded with protesters to leave the square, but by late Saturday night, the riots were metastasizing as thousands of revolutionaries in Alexandria, Suez and other big cities took to the streets in solidarity.

“The whole city is paralyzed, protests are blocking main streets. The

meeting these amazing young individuals, we also met with high-ranking Russian officials. The ability to have discussions with these individuals and to promote our university through this type of visibility was an incredible opportunity.

What did you learn from this trip, and how were you able to collaborate with others to gain ideas?

This trip was honestly an incredible learning and networking opportunity, and will definitely influence my ability to perform my duties as president in many positive ways. Not only have I built extremely strong relationships with my peers from fellow U.S. colleges, but I also had the opportunity to build relationships with brilliant young Russian professionals.

One exciting concept and followup project that I intend to pursue involves engaging with the Skolkovo Foundation, which is an unparalleled and unprecedented venture pioneered by the Russian government and business elite to create an extremely advanced technical university with long term plans to develop a Russian version of the Sil-

“It’s turning into chaos … if they cannot secure the city now, how will they secure elections?”

Analysts said the rapid escalation from an event that began with a few dozen protesters shows that the military is incapable of securing the country when polls open Nov. 28.

It has a partnered contract with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to ensure extremely high quality and curriculum. The program is targeted on entrepreneurship and opening a business upon graduation using a multitude of funds provided by the foundation financing the project. More importantly, this foundation is simply focused on business creation and innovation, both inside and outside of Russia, and thus project funding is available to international individuals of every country. An extreme theme from this week has been entrepreneurship, and this Skolkovo project is the pinnacle of that philosophy. I intend to connect our students with this foundation and its resources to expand opportunities for our students and to increase the visibility and prestige that can come from such brilliant international relations.

Did you meet important players in the Russian community? If so, who, and what did you discuss with them?

Yes, our meetings with politicians and Russian business elite consumed the majority of our time here. We met with the U.S. ambassador to Russia, John Beyrle, the Rus-

Even the Egyptian Cabinet appeared worried.

“What is happening in Tahrir is very dangerous and threatens the course of the nation and the revolution,” the Cabinet said in a statement.

Several influential Islamist politicians from both the Muslim Brotherhood and the more fundamentalist Salafis seized on Friday’s showdown to reiterate their campaign promises of upholding revolutionary values and reining in military powers.

Islamist candidates, along with dozens of their followers, arrived in the square after nightfall.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

MOSCOW — Over a bottle of vodka and a traditional Russian salad of pickles, sausage and potatoes tossed in mayonnaise, a group of friends raised their glasses and wished Igor Irtenyev and his family a happy journey to Israel.

Irtenyev, his wife and daughter insist they will just be away for six months, but the sadness in their eyes on this recent night said otherwise.

A successful Russian poet, Irtenyev says he can no longer breathe freely in his homeland, because “with each passing year, and even with each passing day, there is less and less oxygen around.”

“I just can’t bear the idea of watching (Vladimir) Putin on television every day for the next 12 years,” the 64-year-old said of the Russian leader who has presided over a relatively stable country, though one awash in corruption and increasing limits on personal freedoms. “I may not live that long.

I want out now.”

Irtenyev and his family have joined a new wave of Russian emigration that some here have called the “Putin decade exodus.”

Roughly 1.25 million Russians have left the country in the last 10 years, Sergei Stepashin, head of the national Audit Chamber, told the radio station Echo of Moscow. The chamber tracks migration through tax revenues.

He said the exodus is so large, it’s comparable in numbers to the out-

How long should it take a guy to be ready for “Round 2”?

The refractory period can range from minutes, to hours, or even a day; no one is the same. There may also be a different length of refractory period after each sexual encounter. Lots of different things can affect it; here are a few:

rush in the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution.

“About as many left the country after 1917,” he said.

They don’t leave like their predecessors of the Soviet 1970s and ’80s, with no intention to return. They don’t sell their apartments, dachas and cars. They simply lock the door, go to the airport and quietly leave.

The reasons are varied. Some, like Irtenyev, chafe at life under Putin’s rule, which seems all but certain to continue with the prime minister’s expected return to the presidency next year. But for many others, economic strictures are the prime motivation. With inflation on the rise, and the country’s GDP stuck at an annual 3 percent growth rate the last three years — compared with 7 percent to 8 percent before the global economic crisis — Russians are feeling pinched.

Russian nuclear physicist Vladimir Alimov, who now works at the University of Toyama in Japan, said he couldn’t survive on the $450 monthly salary of a senior researcher at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

“Yes, I miss Russia, but as a scientist I couldn’t work there with the ancient equipment which had not been replaced or upgraded since the Soviet times,” Alimov, 60, said in a phone interview. “Here in Japan, I have fantastic work conditions. I can do the work I enjoy and be appreciated and valued for it — everything I couldn’t even dream of back in Russia.”

monday, november

changes in the body leading up to orgasm need to return to their usual state. These include: increased blood flow to the penis, elevation of the testes, and an increased heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. Once things are back to normal, a male can be restimulated to ejaculate and have another orgasm.

Keep in mind that there are other things you can do right after sex that don’t involve an erect penis such as cuddling, massaging, and kissing. These things will help time go by and keep both of you in the mood if you and your partner want to go for “Round 2.”

Interesting fact: Women are able to have multiple orgasms with no refractory period, but for many women reaching orgasm can take some time. Men typically orgasm faster than women, but the refractory period in their sexual response cycle is necessary for guys to recharge.

any questions we wanted. Questions ranged from “How can we create tangible collaborations?” to “How do you intend to deal with the fact that Russia rates extremely high in the world for political corruption?” No questions were denied or ignored and the most curious, specific and controversial questions were encouraged. It was like getting a first class lens with which to view the Russian system and the state of U.S. international relations.

First and most broadly, I believe the program is beneficial for our university because it garners international attention for our institution and increases our overall clout and relevance in comparison to our peers. In this program, and amongst those that selected the candidates, we are classified alongside Ivy League institutions because of our association, and that is good visibility for the UA. The trip to Russia was something I personally found fascinating and am extremely grateful for, and because it was a very busy week, there is a lot of food for thought to take home. I know that the relationships and connections and I made here will benefit the UA, and I intend to actively connect UA students with as many of the things I learned as possible, such as Skolkovo. I also intend to connect my cabinet and senate with their peers at other large, successful universities so that we can improve national collaboration, learn more and thereby do our job better for our students. ASUA has been hard at work this semester and I intend to show my constituents the validity of this statement — this program being just one piece.

Small grants fund big goals

By Amer Taleb DAILY WILDCAT

Combined, their grants don’t even add up to $20,000. But two UA professors will use every dollar to improve public health at home and abroad.

Malaria kills about 34,000 children under age 5 in Kenya every year and is a leading cause of death in the country, according to USAID/Kenya, an independent federal government agency that supports economic growth, global health and democracy in Kenya. The government provides citizens with bed nets to protect them from mosquitoes carrying malaria. But for some reason, people aren’t using them.

Kacey C. Ernst, an assistant professor in the Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, will use her seed grant to study net misuse in Western Kenya. The UA’s Faculty Seed Grants Program provides short-term support to jumpstart projects that will develop into major proposals.

Past studies show many people are not sleeping under their bed nets.

Underestimating malaria’s severity and viewing the net as a nuisance could be reasons for it, Ernst said. Her team will

gather information from focus groups.

That data will contribute to making and distributing surveys to a larger segment of the population.

Ernst, who has worked in Kenya intermittently for 11 years, won’t head to the African country for the study, since it would cost half her budget to travel there.

Ernst will supervise from a distance and analyze the data. Her $8,823 grant will be spent through her collaborators in Kenya.

People facing logistical issues, like where and how to hang their net, will be easy to help. Working with people that don’t see the importance of using a bed net is the real challenge.

“I’ve encountered people that say, ‘Malaria happens and that’s just a part of life,’” Ernst said. “Behavior change is incredibly difficult to achieve, our strategy will be working with the community. We’ll try to develop a comprehensive strategy that will help address most, if not all the concerns.”

Kelly Reynolds, an associate professor of environmental health sciences in the College of Public Health, is developing a device to detect drinking water viruses in real time.

The tool is the size of a briefcase.

The goal is to morph it into a handheld monitor that can measure the water’s safety with a probe. Miniaturizing methodologies that already exist will decrease supply costs and improve portability.

Potentially, anyone from a soldier in a foreign country to a person checking his or her pool water could use the device.

“The real question will be, can we get the sensitivity of the system down to a level that we need to have to protect the public health?” Reynolds asked. “We want to be able to detect one virus in a thousand liters of water.”

Norovirus is the top cause of waterborne outbreaks. It spreads via fecal to oral transmission and eventually makes its way into our food and water, Reynolds said.

“We’re in this continuous cycle of Norovirus contamination of our environment. A lot of people in the U.S. and around the world are drinking untreated water,” Reynolds said. “The water can look clean, but there might be things in there that you didn’t expect.

And that’s what our system is designed to detect.”

Pride Alliance hosted the week of events in collaboration with the UA’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Questioning Student Affairs, Wingspan, a local LGBT community center and the Southern Arizona Gender Alliance. Bischoff said the reason for the larger turnout was because all of the events were on campus whereas in prior years, a number of their programs took place at Wingspan headquarters.

“At the UA, it’s a bubble here,” Bischoff said. “People don’t know what is going on outside.

We don’t have too many hate crimes here and there isn’t a ton of discrimination.”

Beginning in the spring semester, the Pride Alliance will offer trans-advocacy internships to students interested in planning events and programs pertaining to transgender issues.

“Transgender awareness has to continue on past this week,” Przybylowicz said. “Now it is what can we do in our communities to keep it going and keep the awareness up and keep helping trans-people.”

for 32 years. He said he wants the student body to recognize that soldiers have been injured to “preserve freedom for this country and for the free world.”

These sculptures were created to “provide a visual aspect to the honoring of all the veterans and those who have served,” said Ricardo Pereyda, a junior studying public management and policy with a minor in military science. He also served in the army as part of the military police.

Pereyda is involved in the UA Student Veterans of America organization. He said his goal is to continue installing sculptures in the rotunda.

“It’s something that I really want to draw people’s attention to, because how many people actually take the time to look down here and realize that, hey, that’s not a dog pool up there. It’s an actual memorial,” Pereyda said.

The most recently installed “Shield of America” is a representation of one of the earliest crests of the United States, dating back to 1812, Muir said. He originally sculpted

the shield on a 9-foot memorial called “The American Pietà” which was based on the Pietà of Michelangelo. This is symbolic of the sacrifice made for “human spiritual liberty.”

It also relates to the early concept of symbolizing America as a new nation, Muir said.

The sculpture “Band of Brothers” represents the sacrifices made by UA alumni, faculty and employees in World War I and World War II, and “Some Gave All” represents the same sacrifices made in Korea and Vietnam, he said.

“These are students, these are alumni, these are fellows who turned their back on comforts of this life and went off and died for their country,” Pereyda said.

His goal for the rotunda area is to make it a place where individuals can come show gratitude for their service members. He said 50 years from now, he wants to come back and show these sculptures to his children and grandchildren so people won’t forget about freedom.

“This is a sacred place to be and I think that as we continue to put more pieces up, hopefully it regains that sentiment,” Pereyda said.

He said he had friends who were 19, 20 and 21 years old who didn’t have the chance to come home, go to college, get married or have children. He said he wants to contribute something not only to their memory, but to the memory of all veterans.

“There are some people who are actually afraid of us, don’t know us … but all they know is, we’re the guys they send off to kill other people, and then when we come back we have to live with that social stigma that they create because of our jobs and what we’ve had to do,” Pereyda said.

He added that the cooperation of the university speaks of the changing attitudes toward veterans.

The UA’s SVA organization allows Pereyda and other student veterans to have a safe place to go and hang out, he said.

“Unless you’ve been there and had that experience, it’s like it’s impossible to explain to somebody else,” Pereyda said. “It’s been stated several times that you can hate the war but you have to care for and respect the veteran who fights, because this is your country.”

Forgotten holiday fills hearts, stomachs Dan Desrochers Daily Wildcat

H

alloween provides children with pounds of candy and college kids with gallons of alcohol.

Christmas gets a Michael Bublé album as its namesake. Thanksgiving merely sits in November, happy to be included in the holiday season even though it’s quite easily overlooked.

Other holidays have songs. Christmas has enough carols to last a whole month, The Fourth of July has dandy patriotic tunes, and Halloween even gets the “Monster Mash.” The only Thanksgiving song that comes to mind is Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant Massacre,” and besides its widespread anonymity, that song is more about hippies than Thanksgiving itself.

For years Thanksgiving “While has endured being Thanksgiving the most may not underrated holiday. Sure, be the Paul people think McCartney about it and of holidays, they relish the excuse to Thanksgiving skip class, but does a good when having job at being that normal, everyday George conversation Harrison, the about which holiday is very good but the best, less recognized Thanksgiving holiday.” tends to slip the mind.

While it may not be the Paul McCartney of holidays, Thanksgiving does a good job at being George Harrison, the very good but less recognized holiday.

When people think of Thanksgiving, they think of good food. As you sit down at the dinner table, an array of wonderfully mouth-watering treats rests before you.

After months of college food, nothing beats the comfort of delicious fresh rolls, the whipped mashed potatoes, the crunchy and creamy green bean casserole and the turkey and stuffing. The entire process leaves you feeling as if you just were just served the greatest meal the human race could possibly conjure. Best of all, nothing beats that stuffed feeling that you get when you leave the table, except maybe dessert.

The other great aspect of Thanksgiving is that you don’t have to get people gifts.

While there is nothing quite like the look on someone’s face when you get them the perfect present, 9 times out of 10, that doesn’t happen. Instead you either feel guilty that your gift wasn’t good enough or you get a horrible gift and are left with the extremely difficult task of pretending that you liked it. The lack of gifts also prevents you from spending hours at the store, on a college student’s budget. Instead of scratching your head at which object you can find for ten dollars that looks like you put a lot of thought into it, you get to sit on the couch and watch football while catching up with all the people you love.

But no matter how good of a meal you have eaten, the best part of Thanksgiving is the people. You get the chance to spend a whole day laughing, teasing and sharing family stories. You get to reunite with the people you’ve been Skyping with for weeks.

Then, finally, after months at college, all of your friends are back in town. That precious moment when you see your friends for the first time makes the months of waiting worthwhile.

As college students, we’ve spent weeks partying, studying and meeting new people. We’ve endured tests, papers and all-nighters. We’ve celebrated our triumphs in sports and agonized over the defeats. But through all of these college experiences nothing will be quite as sweet as going home to see the family and friends again. Thanksgiving gives you an excuse to go back home, even though you don’t really need one to begin with and that’s something to be thankful for this holiday.

College campuses should be havens for civil disobedience Kristina Bui Daily Wildcat

T

he Occupy Everything movement is spreading, and university administrations are getting desperate.

A video shot this weekend went viral after University of California, Davis campus police arrested and pepper-sprayed student protesters. The protesters were sitting on the ground, arms linked and non violent.

The officer, Lt. John Pike, reportedly warned students he would use pepper spray on them if they did not move.

The YouTube video is unsettling — literally stomach-churning — as Pike then moves along the line of students sitting in front of him, walking back and forth while spraying indiscriminately.

The demonstrators at UC Davis had set up an encampment earlier this month as part of the nationwide Occupy movements.

They were protesting tuition hikes and police brutality on other University of California campuses, and had set up tents on a quad area before being told they could not stay overnight or during the weekend because of a lack of resources, according to UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi.

The pepper spray incident followed on the heels of other recorded incidents of police brutality, including a video of a University of California, Berkeley professor who offered her

wrists to officials and agreed to to be arrested.

Police officers responded by grabbing her and two students by the hair and forced them to the ground. In the same video of that incident, another protester is pinned to a bush and police won’t allow her to free herself. A man who tries to help her is attacked by police.

Following the incidents at UC Davis and UC Berkeley, and similar action at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Council of UC Faculty Associations released a statement condemning the use of force by police against non-violent demonstrators.

“Student, faculty and staff protesters have been pepper-sprayed directly in the eyes and mouth, beaten and shoved by batons, dragged by the arms while handcuffed, and submitted to other forms of excessive force. Protesters have been hospitalized because of injuries during these incidents. The violence was unprovoked, disproportional and excessive.”

On Saturday, Katehi released a public statement. “The use of pepper spray as shown on the video is chilling to us all and raises many questions about how best to handle situations like this,” she wrote.

There aren’t that many questions about how “best to handle” student protesters.

In fact, the principal question is, “Do I use pepper spray on this group of students who

are sitting on the ground, posing absolutely no threat to me or anyone else?” And the answer is a resounding no.

Instead, UC campus police officers seem to be wondering which weapon would be the most unnecessary, and therefore better to use: baton or pepper spray?

UC Davis Professor Nathan Brown published an open letter to Katehi calling for her resignation, writing that, “I am the sort of young faculty member, like many of my colleagues, this campus needs. I am an asset to the University of California at Davis. You are not.”

According to Brown, Katehi ordered police onto campus to clear the protest from the quad. Police were outfitted in riot gear, with teargas guns and batons used to push students apart. When students were not separated from each other, police pepper-sprayed them directly in the face. Students who tried to shield their eyes with clothing had their mouths forced open by police officers and pepper-sprayed down their throats. Several students were seriously injured — 45 minutes later, a student was still coughing up blood.

Regardless of how you feel about the Occupy movement, there has to be a safe space for civil disobedience. The point of higher education is to challenge students to think more critically and independently. There is no worse place to crush free speech and political dissent than college campuses, and there is no worse way to do so than abusing authority as a police officer or a chancellor at a university.

MAILBAG In response to “Penn State defense is cowardly, convenient” (Nov. 14 issue): Penn State scandal never should have gone this far Nothing could be more nauseating than a topic like this. This scandal absolutely sickens me. There are actually several issues of concern here. First and foremost is the willful and deliberate sexual molestation of children. Our nation’s youth are already victimized in so many ways (by adults) in this country. How is it that these warped and perverted “leaders” manipulate their way into positions of power? And once they have such power use it to force a defenseless person to comply with their pedophile desires?

Are there no screens (psychological testing and otherwise) to prevent this from happening? Secondly, how could such criminal behavior be allowed to go unreported to law enforcement? And why for so long? How could college athletics become so corrupt that nothing---absolutely nothing---will threaten the financial racket it has become.

Thirdly, why is it that university officials are

not required to connect the financial dots linking the money taken in by college athletics to the benefits received by the students.

Is it because there is no connection? Finally, it is certainly ironic that former coach (Joe) Paterno was idolized as “Joe Pa” all these years when he failed the most important duty of any parent; to protect your children.

One has to wonder if Mr. Paterno’s behavior would have been any different had one of those victims been his grandchild. Perhaps “Molest-Pa” would be a more suitable nickname. Let us hope that he and his cronies get what they deserve. Let justice be done though the sports programs fall.

In response to “ASUA elections: easier to violate” (Nov. 17 issue): ASUA image needs repair, won’t be helped by new elections code I really enjoyed the editorial article about the ASUA election policy changes.

I am happy to see that I am not alone in thinking that the revisions to the ASUA

disciplinary policies are completely flawed. We should learn from the mistakes of last year’s election and work to improve the democratic system. Yet, this new policy would allow for more violations and less repercussions. Not knowing what constitutes to a violation is not an excuse.

Candidates should know exactly what is allowed in a campaign election and what isn’t. These proposed changes will only make this system more conducive to more violations and will only further undermine and tarnish the image that ASUA desperately needs to repair.

A rivalry win erases a season of losses As a proud alumnus of this university, I can honestly say that the victory against Arizona State University caused all the low points of this season to be erased.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Tall tale, short ride to jail A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to Fifth Street and Euclid Avenue at 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday in response to a possible theft. The officer noticed a middle-aged man wearing camouflage pants and a leather jacket walking two bikes, one of which had a basket in the front. The officer told the man to put down the bikes and come toward him. The man looked behind him and saw another officer’s patrol car. He looked back and forth multiple times and then put the bikes down. The officer told the man to sit on the curb. The man identified himself and told the officer he knew it looked bad, but his girlfriend had left her bike in the racks a few buildings away because she was feeling ill and called for a ride home. He said he found her bike, which she left unlocked, and was walking it home. The officer noticed the bike had a secured U-Lock on it. The man said he did not have a key to it. The officer checked the man’s backpack and found multiple bike tools, including a pair of wire cutters. The man then admitted to stealing the bike. He said his girlfriend’s bike had been stolen a week ago and he came to the UA to find her a new one. He said the other bike did belong to him. The man was arrested for theft and booked into Pima County Jail.

Check your registration A UAPD officer was on patrol near First Street and Mabel Street at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday when he noticed a blue Cadillac driving with expired registration tags. The officer stopped the driver. She identified herself and a records check revealed the woman had two misdemeanor warrants from Tucson Police Department and Pima Community College Police Department.

The officer arrested the woman for the warrants and transported her to Pima County Jail.

Lost …

A UAPD officer spoke to a man who had lost his wallet over the phone at 6 p.m. on Tuesday. The man said he had put his wallet in his pocket at noon and walked to his class in Centennial Hall. When he arrived at his next class two hours later, he noticed his wallet was gone. The man said he believed he lost his wallet somewhere near Centennial Hall. The wallet contained the man’s credit cards, CatCard, insurance cards, about $300 worth of gift cards and $40 in cash. He said there have been no charges made to his credit card or CatCard. There is no further information.

… And found A UAPD officer went to the Administration building at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. An employee turned in a found silver Kenneth Cole wallet that contained a woman’s driver’s license, debit card, and American and Mexican currency. The officer attempted to contact the owner and left a message for her. The wallet was placed into safekeeping at UAPD.

Carey sparks win with career day

By Alex Williams DAILY WILDCAT

TEMPE — On the day Ka’Deem Carey committed to Arizona, he handed his mother a box that would either contain an Arizona shirt or an ASU shirt.

After Saturday, Sun Devil fans, coaches and players alike are probably wishing it was a maroon and gold one.

“I told him he picked the right school,” Arizona receivers coach Dave Nichol joked outside the Wildcats’ locker room after Saturday’s 31-27 win over heated rival ASU. The Tucson native and former standout at Canyon del Oro High School led Arizona with 167 yards — 92 on the ground and 47 through the air — and caught a touchdown pass.

Carey also averaged more than seven times as many yards per carry (7.1) than Arizona’s next leading rusher, Keola Antolin, who averaged less than a yard on nine carries.

Carey found most of his running room after weaving through blocks and getting to the outside of the defense, something interim head coach Tim Kish said can be attributed to Carey’s instincts as a runner.

“Ka’Deem Carey is as special a running back as I’ve been around,” Kish said. “I couldn’t be more proud of the performance he had.

He’s special.”

After having the best game of his short career while playing in the

WILL FERGUSON / DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona running back Ka’Deem Carey runs in the open field during the Wildcats’ 31-27 victory against ASU on Saturday in Tempe. Carey ran for 92 yards, caught four passes for 47 yards and scored a touchdown.

Duel in the Desert for the first time, Carey wasn’t shy about saying that Saturday’s game “ranks on the top” of his all-time list.

Carey’s performance on Saturday was the latest chapter in the season-

long book of coming-out performances he’s had in 2011.

The freshman running back scored three touchdowns against USC, averaged more than seven yards per carry in Arizona’s win

over UCLA and racked up 63 receiving yards at Washington.

Carey has the unteachable ability to keep his balance through holes, explode in and out of cuts and change direction on a dime, all while

maintaining his power as a runner — something that has offensive coordinator Seth Littrell excited even though he likely won’t be at Arizona after this season.

“He’s special,” Littrell said. “He’s got a huge future in front of him. I can’t say enough about him. I’m excited to watch his future. He’s still young, but he doesn’t play like it. He plays like a veteran.”

That’s where Carey has made the biggest strides this year. Toward the beginning of the season, it was obvious that Carey was an elite talent who was still figuring things out mentally.

So while he’s improved as a runner — figuring out when to make cuts and how to take hits — Carey’s also making huge strides mentally, learning to expect when and where holes are going to open up and the other nuances of being a running back in a BCS conference.

“That’s the next big step for him,” center Kyle Quinn said. “Kid’s a freak athlete. He’s growing up before our eyes. He’s really starting to understand things.”

But for now, Carey isn’t worried about all that. He’s just enjoying a victory in his first career game against ASU. “Oh yeah, I’ve kissed it and everything,” Carey said of getting the Territorial Cup trophy. “Me and that cup are gonna get to be real good friends.”

SEEN AND HEARD: Seniors shine in Tempe Arizona at ASU COMMENTARY

By Dan Kohler DAILY WILDCAT

TEMPE — There’s nothing quite like the tenacity of Duel in the Desert, and Saturday’s contest lived right up to its billing with the Wildcats taking the Territorial Cup back to Tucson after a 31-27 victory.

It was the Wildcats’ third victory against ASU in four years, and it also marked the third time in a row that the cup was won by the visiting team.

One thing was for sure throughout the entire contest; these teams have a pure hatred for one another.

Here are some things, seen and heard, that marked the 2011 installment in this storied rivalry:

Laser pointer … really?

At one point in the second quarter, the officials announced that a green laser was being shone on the field by one of the fans at Sun Devil Stadium. The referees announced that if the light persisted, that play would be suspended.

After the announcement, it didn’t seem to appear again.

Muhammed makes his mark

Linebacker Bilal Muhammed was among the seniors that shined in Arizona’s win.

In his second appearance of substantial playing time this year, Muhammed was put in the rover position and was dominant, managing to haul in two tackles for a loss.

“He came out and played that rover like something else,” Wildcats defensive back Jourdon Grandon. “He was causing havoc.”

Crump’s dancing shoes

Arizona wide receiver Gino Crump brought the Wildcats within three points off a 33-yard catch and run touchdown play.

It was a simple screen pass from Foles to Crump, who made fools out of four wouldbe tacklers.

“He danced (around defenders) a couple weeks ago, and I told him I doubt I’ll ever see a dance like that again,” Arizona interim head coach Tim Kish said. “But he fooled me, he came back with it.”

the flag from the cheerleaders, he handed it off to Crump, who continued to run it toward midfield. Crump then speared the ASU pitchfork logo with the flagpole at the 50-yard-line.

“Payback’s a you-know-what,” Crump said after the game.

Celebration city

During the coaches and players press conference, you could hear the sounds of celebration in the Arizona locker room.

Cornerback Shaquille Richardson said he hadn’t seen a happier locker room in his life, calling it “such a party.”

The Wildcats also dusted off a few renditions of “Bear Down, Arizona” in celebration. “(It was) wild, we sang the fight song at least two or three times,” Grandon said around midnight. “It’s crazy. I don’t think we’re gonna get out of here till 3 (a.m.).”

Quinn like a kid in a candy store

During the locker room celebration, ASU officials were looking for the Territorial Cup trophy to give to the Wildcats to take back to Tucson.

Halfway through Kish’s press conference, Quinn came charging into the press conference smiling from here to ear. The trophy clutched in his hand, he presented it to Kish.

“I like that, that’s some good stuff,” an excited Kish said to Quinn. “We gotta get this back to the locker room.”

As Quinn ran back out of the room he screamed, “We got it” and ran toward the A profound statement After Wildcat center Kyle Quinn grabbed rest of his team.

Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

TEMPE — The clock finally hit zero and the Arizona Wildcats spilled onto the Sun Devil Stadium field.

Kyle Quinn grabbed the Arizona flag and waved it proudly in the end zone. Minutes later, with tears streaming down his face, Gino Crump planted the UA flag at midfield in a moment he called “one of the best feelings of my life.”

“Once I saw that clock hit zeros, I just broke down into tears,” Crump said. “I couldn’t hold it back anymore.”

Bryson Beirne got down on one knee and prayed, thanking his higher power for allowing him to throw the game-winning touchdown pass.

Tim Kish took a Gatorade bath in his last meaningful game as Arizona’s head coach.

Chants of “U of A,” “U of A,” “U of A” rang through Sun Devil Stadium as Arizona let out a season full of frustrations on the Sun Devils to recapture the Territorial Cup. Former Wildcat and current special teams coach Jeff Hammerschmidt pounded fists with media members as he walked from the locker room to the bus. Joe Salave’a, who played for the UA during the Desert Swarm era, was all smiles, making sure that his alltime winning record against the Sun Devils was known.

The rivalry was in full force. The mutual hate oozed from bodies of the players and coaches.

And one year after ASU marched into Arizona Stadium, stole a win and planted Sparky’s pitchfork at midfield, Arizona’s seniors returned the favor and got the last laugh.

“This was just a big way to go out for the seniors. We’ve been talking about this all season,” said Juron Criner. “To leave a mark on U of A with the cup, there’s nothing better.”

While Ka’Deem Carey, Shaquille Richardson and Jourdon Grandon all had big games, Saturday was about the seniors.

Criner caught nine balls for 134 yards,

including the game-winning touchdown as he broke multiple tackles on his way to a 23-yard score. Crump caught six passes for 69 yards and also turned a screen into a touchdown.

Despite some errant throws, Nick Foles finished with 370 yards and two scores and set the all-time Arizona single-season passing record along the way.

Keola Antolin picked up Arizona’s first down on a gutsy second effort and also took a screen pass 46 yards. Trevin Wade played one of his most inspired games at Arizona, breaking up two passes, forcing Grandon’s interception and forcing a huge fourth-quarter fumble that helped Arizona escape with a victory.

And even Beirne had a storybook ending, coming in for Foles to complete his only pass for the 23-yard touchdown to Criner as Arizona put the pressure on ASU to make the Pac-12 Championship game.

“It definitely means a lot,” he said. “Five years and I get a chance to beat ASU up in Tempe on their field. You can’t ask for something like that.”

In the last meaningful game of their careers, in their pseudo bowl game, the Arizona seniors played refused to lose.

“I just couldn’t be happier for the seniors,” Kish said after the game.

Foles, Criner, Antolin and the rest of the seniors have been used to winning — and beating ASU. They had been to three consecutive bowl games and expectations grew greater with every new season.

But the wheels came off this season.

Mike Stoops was fired, season-ending injuries took over like the plague and Arizona couldn’t buy a victory. But thanks to a gutcheck victory over their hated rival, the seniors now have something to remember.

The bad taste of the Zendejas misses are gone. A 3-8 season will have a major silver lining. And the seniors will go out with a sense of pride and accomplishment after memorable careers that could have ended in an even more forgettable season.

“This win’s for them. No questions asked,” Quinn said. “They didn’t sign up for this, the way the season has gone. They really led us through the tough times.”

PREVIEW

Women’s basketball will lean on Whyte Wildcats look for fixes on defense, interior play

By Zack Rosenblatt DAILY WILDCAT

Candice Warthen couldn’t find the words to describe teammate Davellyn Whyte’s 34-point performance in Thursday’s home win against Wichita State.

“Oh, wow,” was all the Arizona women’s basketball guard could come up with.

If the Wildcats (3-0) want to win in Las Cruces, N.M., tonight against New Mexico State, they will need more of the same from Whyte.

“Dav made it look easy (on Thursday) and hopefully she can continue to do that,” head coach Niya Butts said. “We need her to continue to stay on that course, along with everyone else.”

In the home opener, Whyte shot 11of-17 from the field, 6-of-8 from 3-point

range and went 6-of-8 from the free throw line. She also tagged on five assists and five rebounds.

“I didn’t even know I had that many points until one of my teammates told me.

They were just feeding me the ball and I shot it,” Whyte said. “It felt like everything was my favorite spot tonight.”

For how good the 5-foot-11 guard was on Thursday, though, Whyte and Butts did not lose sight of the fact that the team still has a few areas where they need significant improvement.

“We didn’t do too well on the defensive end, how we usually do at least. We played a little soft,” Whyte said. “We got our hands on a lot of balls, but we couldn’t come up with them.”

Butts pointed toward rebounding as a big issue in Thursday’s game, as they were outrebounded 36-33 overall, and 22-16 in the first half.

“We struggled rebounding the ball,” Butts said. “We gotta do some things to

make sure that doesn’t happen on a regular basis, especially if we want to be competitive and win down the stretch.”

A big part of the team’s struggles on the boards can be attributed to the slow start of 6-foot-5 starting center Aley Rohde. The team has high expectations for the freshman, but it has taken her longer to adjust to the collegiate level. Against Wichita State, in 27 minutes of playing time, she only grabbed three rebounds. On the season overall, she has eight rebounds.

Despite Rohde’s early struggles, Butts has confidence that Rohde will bounce back.

“It took her awhile to get going, but in the second half when she got in there, she settled down a bit,” Butts said. “We told her to protect the paint, and she did a really good job at that.

“Hopefully when things slow down a AMY WEBB / DAILY WILDCAT bit, she can take her time and get into the flow of things,” Butts added, “but I know Arizona guard Davellyn Whyte drives against a Wichita State’s Krystle Henderson in Thursday’s victory in McKale Center. she will be able to do that in the future.”

Rubio earns 500th win in LA

By Kelly Hultgren DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona volleyball had a solid weekend in Los Angeles, defeating No. 2 UCLA and falling to No. 1 USC. Even with the Wildcats’ 3-0 loss (25-14, 2518, 25-21) to the Trojans, their 3-0 win against the Bruins (25-23, 25-23, 25-20) not only made their tournament bid more promising but also earned head coach Dave Rubio his 500th career win.

The success was especially impressive considering the absence of outside hitter Taylor Arizobal, who was replaced in the lineup by senior Marketa Hanzlova.

“It’s the best match we’ve played to date,” said Rubio on the UCLA win. “It was without Taylor, and Marketa really stepped up. The seniors particularly played well.”

Seniors Courtney Karst and Cursty Jackson were the offensive leaders against the Bruins, both tallying 11 kills for the Wildcats (18-11, 10-10).

“It felt like everyone was on their game, and from the start it was like, ‘We’re not going to lose this game,’” Karst said. “We had some kind of urgency in us that nothing was going to stop us. It was really cool to be a part of that.”

Along with the Wildcats’ strong mentalities, Karst credited the team’s blocking and defense in the win. Freshman Rachel Rhoades had five blocks and Candace Nicholson had 10 digs.

“Everyone played extremely well and our block was really good,” Karst said. “The block would line it up for the defense, then we could defend and we didn’t make that many errors — UCLA made a few and it made our

job a little bit easier.”

But on Saturday, the Trojans could not be stopped, playing like the No. 1 team in the country they are, Rubio said.

Trojan hitter Alex Jupiter was the leading scorer for both teams with 18 kills and a .607 hitting percentage. Lauren Williams had 10 kills for USC with an even more impressive .833 hitting percentage. Both Karst and freshman Madi Kingdon had 10 kills on Saturday, while Jackson had seven for the team.

Despite their high numbers, it wasn’t enough to beat the Trojans.

“They played like they were the No. 1 team,” Karst said. “They played lights out — it was crazy. Everything we tried to do they just hit over us. We couldn’t defend them very well, and we weren’t passing very well. They played too well and we didn’t play well enough.”

Hockey splits with No. 7 Oklahoma

By Kyle Johnson DAILY WILDCAT

The No. 20 Arizona hockey team finished off its road trip by splitting a series with No. 7 Oklahoma in Oklahoma City, losing 5-1 Friday night and then winning 4-1 Saturday.

“It’s nice to get a win, especially a big win against the No. 7 team,” said goalkeeper David Herman, who played in net for Saturday’s victory. “But we’re not satisfied with a 1-2 weekend, especially with the way we played the first two games.”

The UA (8-7-1) lost 3-2 Thursday to No. 18 Central Oklahoma to begin its stretch of three games in the Panhandle State.

The Sooners opened the scoring Friday night when they put the puck past goalkeeper Steven Sisler in the middle of the first period. Then forward Jared Lowell answered

RECAP

FROM PAGE 1

ASU territory, UA quarterback Nick Foles went down with a muscle injury to his torso and the Arizona coaching staff called upon Beirne to finish off the drive.

Two plays later, a dump off to Juron Criner turned into a 23-yard scoring play, Beirne’s second touchdown pass of his career. It was the game winner.

“It definitely means a lot,” Beirne said of the opportunity after the game.

“Five years, and a chance to beat ASU senior year up in Phoenix on their field, you can’t ask for something like

for the Wildcats, tying the game at 1-1. However, the Sooners added another score less than two minutes later, and then the Sooners “pretty much took off from there,” scoring three more, Lowell said.

The 5-1 final score matches the UA’s biggest loss of the season. The team also lost 5-1 to then-ranked No. 11 Oakland on neutral ice in October.

The Wildcats switched up some of the personnel Saturday, particularly in their powerplay lineups, which were 0-for-6 as a whole the night before, head coach Sean Hogan said.

The Wildcats seemed to respond to the changes, reversing roles with the Sooners in their own lopsided 4-1 victory.

Lowell scored again in the first period Saturday, throwing the first punch of the game.

Scoring first has proven vital this year for

that. It’s just placed upon you, and I’m grateful it happened.”

Kish said the confidence that Beirne showed was just an example of the leadership role he has on the team.

“He has that composure all the time, you just don’t see it because he’s not out there on the field,” Kish said.

“Bryson’s a phenomenal young man.

He stepped up like many others did, and helped us win this football game tonight.”

Beirne gave credit where credit was due and said all he did was get the ball to Criner, who had to do the rest.

“He had to make that first guy miss, than that second guy miss, it was probably three or four or five guys that he

the Wildcats, as they are undefeated in games where they net the first goal, Lowell said.

Oklahoma managed to tie up the game less than a minute later, but this time the Wildcats responded, scoring twice more in the second and closing the game out with an empty net goal in the third.

“We came with a little more intensity (Saturday),” Herman said. “I think we battled harder in our own zone, and we did all the little things (Saturday) as a team.”

The weekend may not have lived up to the Wildcats’ expectations, but with games against top-5 ranked Ohio and ASU coming up, Saturday’s victory was vital.

“It was imperative that we (won Saturday),” Hogan said. “I’m really proud of the guys, the way they stood up and got the win.”

missed and he just ran in there,” Beirne said. “I sprinted over there towards the goal line and I almost tackled him, I was so stoked that he did that.”

Criner’s play was almost a mirror image of the touchdown catch and run

by Gino Crump to bring the Wildcats within three points. Down 27-17 with just more than 10 mintues to play in the game, a short screen from Foles to Crump led to a 33-yard score after the wide receiver slipped four Sun Devil tacklers.

And on the defensive side of the ball, the team showed a true character that hasn’t been very evident all year long.

“This is how you’re supposed to do it, this is how it’s done, and we did it,”

XC’s Lalang, women eye NCAA titles Wildcats head to championship in Terra Haute, Ind., as men’s leader hopes for undefeated year

By Emi Komiya DAILY WILDCAT

The Arizona cross-country teams will compete for national recognition at the NCAA Championships today at the Lavern Gibson Championship Course in Terra Haute, Ind. The No. 8-ranked women will make a push to compete for the title while Lawi Lalang hopes to make his first cross-country season an undefeated one.

“I think I am ready,” Lalang said. “I want to race against the best.”

The women’s cross-country team jumped eight spots into the top 10 at No. 8 in national polls leading up to the championship. Sophomore Elvin Kibet and junior Jen Bergman earned all west regional honorees after coming in fourth and sixth at the West Regional 6,000-meter race last week.

For the men, Lalang, a freshman, was awarded the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association’s Male West Region Athlete of the Year after winning the 10,000m NCAA West Regional race with a time of 28:34. Sophomore Patrick Zacharias and for the women, junior Elizabeth Apgar, were also recognized with all-region accolades.

The women are looking to remain high in the rankings with Kibet and Bergman leading the team while on the men’s side Lalang is coming in hot with record setting wins this season at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational, the Roy Griak Invitational, and the Pac-12 Championships.

said cornerback Shaquille Richardson, whose blocked pass prevented ASU from scoring on the last play of the game. “It feels great, I love the feeling.”

Overall, the Wildcats forced three turnovers — two interceptions and a forced fumble — deep in their own territory to halt an ASU offense that put up 548 total yards.

Arizona defensive back Jourdon Grandon, who intercepted Osweiler with a little over two minutes left, echoed Richardson’s statements.

“I feel like this just showed our team that if we want it, we can be really good,” Grandon said. “We came out here and just played our hearts out tonight. I couldn’t be more proud.”

Hey, give that back

Man 1: I crushed a can between my ass cheeks!

Man 2: A Herculean accomplishment.

On the spot

If you like it, put a Ring Pop on it What celebrity would you bring home to surprise your family?

Andre Johnson, he’s with the Houston Texans, and he’s my favorite player. Oh my family would love that. We’re all big fans.

What is your craziest memory so far from college?

I went to Vegas and I asked someone to marry me. She said yes. I asked her with a Ring Pop, sour apple flavor.

Will Ferguson / Daily Wildcat

Arizona State University fans attempt to tear a UA flag after losing to the Wildcats 31-27 in the last few seconds of the schools’ rivalry football game on Saturday at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe.

David Chaluh

interdisciplinary studies freshman

What class are you most excited to miss this week?

Money and Consumer Sciences. It’s way too early for me. It’s at 10 in the morning.

horoscopes Today’s birthday: Keep tending your garden, even as seeds lie dormant in the ground. Money isn’t the only currency. Barter. Share your love, your time and your attention. Give it away, without expecting compensation, and discover you get what you need.

Aries — Today is a 7 — If something’s

time! Intense work and effort now pay off long into the winter. Leave your money in the bank. Check out a wild theory. It could lead to a new project.

Gemini — Today is a 7 — For a really

romantic day, allow your partner to win arguments. Let petty jealousies go. They’re usually over silly stuff, anyway. Practice this and see what develops.

• Lifespans of dinosaurs spanned from tens to hundreds of years.

• Dinosaur names are generally the combination of two Greek or Latin words, and are generated usually after a dynamic body feature, after the place in which they were found, or after a person integral in their discovery.

• After the dinosaurs died out, close to 65 million years passed before humans arrived on Earth.

Mathy’s got ‘Mojo’ For six months of the year, retiree serves up espresso, friendly service to UA

By Cecelia Marshall DAILY WILDCAT

COLIN PRENGER / DAILY WILDCAT

Dan Mathy, owner of Mojo’s espresso cart on the west side of the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center, serves coffee, breakfast and hot dogs during the week.

At Mojo’s espresso cart, owner Dan Mathy gets to know all of his customers. There’s no waiting in a long line to get a mass produced something-ccino with “Asher” scribbled on the side when it should be “Ashley.”

Running Mojo’s and a restaurant on Lake Michigan are hobbies for Mathy. He’s been retired for 20 years.

And, for more than the last 10, Mathy has kept tabs on his customers. He remembers it all, from their majors and ages to their hometowns, to a family’s summer vacation plans or past surgeries.

Stopping at Mojo’s, outside of the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center, is an entirely new espresso experience where all of Mathy’s customers feel special: It’s as enjoyable as a good “Cheers” episode. Plus, Mathy also fixes a mean mocha.

“I didn’t know a thing about coffee before I bought the cart,” Mathy said, but he’s fine-tuned

his espresso-making skills and charisma since then.

And the experience brings more and more customers through the years.

“I’m keeping up with the lives of 50 to 100 people on a daily basis,” Mathy said.

Mathy also owns and runs a popular pizza restaurant on Washington Island in Lake Michigan, where he escapes the Tucson heat six months out of the year.

Come November, Mathy is back at the UA, setting up his stationary cart and ready to get back to the customers he’s grown to know and

the campus energy he loves.

Customers are even concerned if Mathy doesn’t open precisely the first week of November.

“Dan’s back! I’ve been worried about you, I didn’t think you’d ever be back,” says one customer while grabbing a quick espresso.

“Every half-year, I’m back like a bad penny,” Mathy said.

Though customers wait on him for months, Mathy says, “I’ve been waiting on customers half my life.”

In his past jobs as a “soda jerk” in college or selling lumber or radio airtime, Mathy says, to sell, “you have to genuinely enjoy waiting on people and be able to humble yourself.”

Half of the time the customers come to you, Mathy said, but the other half, you have to go to them.

He encourages people to stop by for not only his drinks and food but also to enjoy the eccentric hospitality.

“Life is a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down the pants,” Mathy said. “And if you’re taking this life too seriously, you’re doing it wrong.”

I

ndie has become trite, and is gasping for its last breath. As much as I appreciate the ideals of a completely self-deprecating culture that prides itself on being eco-friendly, economically stable and socially forward, the musical angle has grown exceptionally stale. Chillwave is dead, noise pop is cliche, and post-rock should only be left to Mogwai. So here’s a few suggestions to revitalize a purposefully half-dead genre: Pitchfork, change your rating system. How the hell do you even find an album’s appeal to be within four decimal places? Was there a rating algorithm that I didn’t get the memo on? Some more established institution use stars, microphones, or even single-digit numbering systems to rate music, so if need be, adopt an even kitschier symbol — possibly kittens or pentagrams.

Artists, your thin, wraithlike body doesn’t look good in anything American Apparel makes. Your videos with girls wearing gold mesh bodysuits, and you in deep V-necks does not make me want to listen to your music. As distracting as cleavage is, mancleavage is even more so, and not for the same reasons.

If you’re not Animal Collective, don’t try to be Animal Collective.

As much fun as it may seem to be wrapping yourself in foil, rolling on the floor of a small club, and screaming into a microphone over an orgy of computer dial-up sounds, it doesn’t look that way.

It makes me concerned for you, despite my complete apathy for anyone who thinks that buying a synth makes them a musician.

Cassettes died for a reason, so don’t resurrect them. I understand

vinyl — I relish it for its quality and tangible nature. However, if you’re going to ironically release a mix tape on a cassette, the 4-year-old in me will want to pull the tape from its sad plastic casing and laugh in your face. Then 4-year-old me will probably scream for chocolate milk until it is in my hands. You improbably have a Bandcamp page — turn your band into a brand, be quirky and smart, and pitch digital singles through that.

If you’re at a show, stop looking like you’re at a funeral. Bobbing your head and tapping your foot doesn’t count as enthusiasm, and if you know the words, sing to them.

Granted, this is all kind off hard to do at something like a Sigur Ros show (if this is the case, and you can sing in Icelandic, feel free to show off ), but the effort is appreciated by the artist. I know you don’t want to scuff up your synthetic leather wingtips, but you’re young, at a show, and probably drunk — so dance.

down the highway

By Arts & Life staff DAILY WILDCAT

Here are three songs to play while driving during Thanksgiving weekend.

Cheryl Wheeler, “Driving Home”

The song is perfect for trekking across the desert in a pickup on the way to spend a weekend eating massive amounts of food with people you might or might not like. “There won’t be too many days like today, driving home,” Wheeler sings. Inspired by her own trip along Route 15 from Ithaca, N.Y., to her hometown in Maryland, the soothing song appears on the album of the same name, and is worth popping onto a playlist. Although the whole CD could be prime for a road trip, the title track in particular works for driving up Interstate 10.

Willie Nelson, “On The Road Again”

Inspired by his life on the road for work, this track slowly became one of Nelson’s most recognizable

songs. The next single after “Midnight Rider,” the song now stands as a staple in the movie business — it’s the insert song here for any long road trip montage in a movie.

Plus, the songs is a perfect anthem for heading to home or playing on the way back. If it’s been a long weekend and you can’t wait to get back, the lyrics still work: “I can’t wait to get on the road again.”

AC/DC, “Highway to Hell”

If you aren’t the biggest fan of the people you might have to spend this weekend with, try this track from Australian rock band AC/DC’s sixth album. Originally inspired by an interview members of AC/DC had with Guitar World magazine, where they said being on tour was like being on “a fucking highway to hell.” So work out a little of that family frustration in the car on the way home with this track.

COMMENTARY

Men in scarves: To wear or not to wear

PRO M Joe Dusbabek DAILY WILDCAT

en are permitted by the unspoken rules of American culture to do just about anything to themselves with regards to fashion. Pants that drag on the ground and require six belts to hold up are cool in some circles. Ear gauges as big as golf balls are fashionable among a certain crowd. And bro tanks, sadly, are the article of clothing seen most often on the backs of men on this campus.

But for some reason, in those same unspoken rules, there’s a line that says don’t even think about wearing a scarf, you pathetic excuse for a man.

All over the world, good looking men wear scarves for both function and fashion. See: David Beckham or Brad Pitt. Very few would criticize these men’s fashion choices since it’s commonly known they stand among the best-dressed out there.

Except here’s the catch: Go into a bar here while wearing a scarf and run the risk of being labeled homosexual — how utterly stupid.

Look, sexuality — and its corresponding masculinity — can’t be determined through

clothing. “Gaydar” doesn’t exist. Sorry, but it’s true. You can’t look at someone and just know which side of the coin they’re on, and a scarf doesn’t change that. Period.

On the positive side, a well-placed scarf can take a normally average outfit like a T-shirt and jeans and make it instantly more fashionable. Yeah, I know, straight guys aren’t supposed to care about being fashionable.

Well, that may be true, but those straight guys we’re talking about need to get a reality check; they might not care about how they look, but women certainly do.

When a woman sees a scarf tied properly and worn confidently, that wins you points.

It takes you from being a slob who isn’t comfortable enough with his own body to dress it properly, to a confident man who knows his strengths and amplifies them.

Rock the scarf, gentlemen. Thank me later.

CON S Ashley Pearlstein DAILY WILDCAT

carves for men. Man scarves. Marves.

I have never been a fan of marves.

When I see a man scarf I immediately think the man is either: a) trying to hide some sort of infectious disease on his neck, b) in high school and trying to hide a hickey, c) suffering from amnesia and thinks he is his girlfriend, d) that it is some sort of hazing activity through a fraternity, or e) that he is insanely too feminine for my taste.

Marves can also be highly inconvenient in numerous situations. For example, when you are mowing the lawn it can get caught in the blades and pull you down, ruining your scarf and propelling tiny blades of grass into your eyes. Or picture yourself at the end of a date with your crush. You lean in for that momentous, long awaited kiss just as a gust of wind picks up your marf and smacks it into her face. Now, the most important moment of your date is ruined by your insanely metro man scarf.

All jokes aside, as a woman I can say

that man scarves send the wrong message to the opposite sex. If your girlfriend sees you in a wispy red or a layered plaid scarf, she will most likely assume it is a gift for her, or that you are becoming a wannabe Ricky Martin.

I don’t judge a man in a scarf if it is the dead of winter in New York, but in Arizona there is no need for them. If you must wear a man scarf for the sake of warmth, at least choose a neutral, dark, masculine color and tuck it into your jacket. Scarves for men are not OK with a V-neck T-shirt, sweater or cardigan. Also, if you insist on wearing a man scarf, it should be solely used for warmth and taken off with the coat once you’ve gone inside. My point is, man scarves don’t exactly say “sexy” to girls. The message is more like “shopping buddy” or “friend zone.”
