Student housing causes conflicts, holdouts

By Stephanie Casanova ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

With multiple student housing projects breaking ground throughout Tucson, developers and residents within the communities are facing various conflicts.

On February 28, Tucson’s mayor and council approved the Main Gate Overlay District, an overlay zoning area known as Area One that makes it more flexible for transit-oriented businesses to build within Euclid Avenue, Speedway Boulevard, Tyndall Avenue and First Street, despite opposition from 12,000 people in the surrounding historic neighborhood. The plans largely include new student housing developments in those areas.

The West University Neighborhood Association collected signatures of people who opposed the overlay district, displeased

with the speed of the rezoning process.

According to Chris Gans, the neighborhood association’s president, the mayor and council should have been more inclusive of the neighborhood when determining the rezone.

The council was interested in having transit-oriented developments, which serve bicyclists and pedestrians as well as those who ride buses or the streetcar. They approved the rezoning three months after it was introduced to the community, a process that usually takes six to nine months.

Campus Acquisitions, which is building a 14-story student-housing tower on Tyndall Avenue near the Speedway Boulevard intersection, went to the council saying it could build a transit-oriented project but that it needed to open before the fall 2013 semester.

“So in order for them to start construc-

tion to reach the goal of being an open building in 2013 for the fall semester, the council was willing to expedite the rezoning process,” said Jim Mazzocco, planning administrator with the City of Tucson Planning and Development Services department. “We didn’t skip any steps.”

Gans doesn’t like the changes made in the area, which is considered a transition zone between the historic neighborhood west of the university and the university campus itself. The height restrictions on buildings in that area, which were once around 30 feet, are now 159 feet, allowing Campus Acquisitions to build both the 14-story and a future 13-story housing project.

“We also had our own plan, which was a lot higher than what our old neighborhood plan called for but we couldn’t even get them (the council) to talk about that,” Gans

said. The biggest disagreement Gans and others in the historic neighborhood had with the city was regarding the speedy process, which Gans believes didn’t account for the long-term effects on the neighborhood, businesses and developers.

“We understand the necessity for new development and we’re not opposed to well-planned and appropriate development that actually serves the residential neighborhood as well,” Gans said. “This has really been aimed at getting something passed so that a student housing project get built.”

The neighborhood association’s 12,000 signature petition was dismissed on a technicality and Campus Acquisitions is currently building the tower. The council will decide on August 7 whether a section west of Euclid Avenue near Speedway Boulevard

UA Insect Collection receives millions in grants for expansion

By Kyle Mittan ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

For the University of Arizona Insect Collection, several million specimens from the southwestern U.S. and around the world just aren’t enough.

The department has received two grants totaling more than $2 million from the National Science Foundation, as well as $625,000 from supporting scholars, to expand its catalog of anthropods.

The collection is housed on the fourth floor of the Forbes building in the department of entomology, and has been there since it was developed in the early ‘50s, according to Carl Olson, the collection’s associate curator. Olson, who has been curator for the collection for 37 years, estimated that the department has collected somewhere between 50,000 to 75,000 different species, with 20,000 to 25,000 from Arizona.

But the numbers don’t really matter, Olson said.

“There’s an amazing number of species,” he added. “For them (the insects) it’s kind of meaningless, versus a finite number of lizards or mammals or birds or things like that.”

ROBERT ALCARAZ / ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Carl Olson, the University of Arizona Insect Collection’s associate curator, has worked in the department for the past 37 years. The collection recently received more than $2 million in grant funding, which will go toward expanding the area where the collection is housed.

Olson also said that projects for adding to the collection are always ongoing, and cited a “major” project being led by Wendy Moore, another curator and assistant

professor of insect systematics. This particular project traps and analyzes various species of insects throughout the Santa Catalina Mountains. Moore also served as

a primary investigator on the two recent grants, helped write the proposals explaining the current status of the collection and explained how it could benefit from additional funding.

“We want to expand our knowledgebase from maybe southern Arizona to all of the Sonoran Desert, so maybe include Mexico,” Olson added. “But it’s tough now because of all the drug trade. I don’t go collect down in that area a lot, and that used to be one of the best places to go.”

Despite the challenges that come with adding to the collection, Olson said that the collection’s reputation is what allowed it to receive the millions in grant funding.

“It’s probably the best southwestern collection in the country,” he said, adding that the department has maintained a focus on Arizona insects, but has expanded to various neighboring regions like northern Mexico and throughout New Mexico. “This is one of the premier places to look at insects; the biodiversity here is outrageous.”

With the money now in place, plans for physical expansion of the collection are underway and include complete renovation of the cabinets that the insects are

UAMC approved to use brain scan to help detect Alzheimer’s

By Ashley Grove Arizona Summer Wildcat

University of Arizona Medical Center was among the first hospitals in the nation to be approved for conducting a brain scan that could help detect Alzheimer’s disease more accurately.

This is the first scan of its kind approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and is conducted by Dr. Phillip Kuo, an associate professor of radiology, and Dr. Geoffrey Ahern, a professor of neurology. The alternative to the scan would be a brain biopsy, which involves removing and analyzing pieces of brain tissue.

The new test has only been conducted on two patients since the hospital was approved to use the scan in April. In order to do the brain scanning, individual doctors had to be approved. Kuo was among the first.

“We are excited and eager to implement it,” he said.

The brain scan works by using positron emission tomography, or PET, to scan the brain using Amyvid, a radioactive dye that is injected into the patient in small amounts. The injection detects amyloid plaque in the brain, which is a sign of Alzheimer’s. The injection and scan are perfectly safe, Kuo said.

When patients undergo the scan, images of the brain will light up in the spaces the plaque is present. According to Ahern, early detection of Alzheimer’s is extremely important because there are early steps to help slow the plaque from spreading. The goal, Ahern said, is to catch people before they show serious symptoms of the disease.

The test can help make diagnostics

clear, according to Kuo, which would be an advantage to start medications for a higher success rate in patients with Alzheimer’s.

Ahern also said that the scan is not necessarily a better method of determining if the patient has Alzheimer’s, but it is equivalent to genetic testing. However, Ahern is still grateful for the opportunity to use the test at UAMC. “I would much rather have it than not have it,” he said. “It’s a very useful agent.”

Before a person can receive the scan, according to Kuo, a physician must evaluate the patient and recommend it. He also explained that this test works in adjunction to a whole clinical picture when addressing Alzheimer’s.

“It’s a good test, but it’s like all tests,” Kuo said. “It’s not perfect.”

The test could be used to determine whether patients will get Alzheimer’s 10 to 20 years before symptoms show, Ahern said.

Alzheimer’s can typically be traced through family history so those concerned about the risk may find a brain scan helpful.

According to Ahern, mild forgetfulness is normal for people over the age of 50. But once short-term memory loss begins, or other serious symptoms, people may be at risk for the disease. And while mild cognitive impairment is normal for dementia, it can also be a prelude to Alzheimer’s, both doctors said.

Ahern also stressed that other syndromes can have amyloid plaque, so the test can be helpful in determining other diseases.

Both doctors stressed, however, that there is no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease at this time.

“The test is useful in helping patients faster with their problems,” Kuo said.

will be considered a special exceptions area as well, allowing it the flexibility that Area One was granted.

“You could get flexibility in the parking standards and flexibility in the loading standards,” Mazzocco said. “As long as you’re putting a development that is transit-oriented.”

Landmark Properties, a developer working on student housing on 22nd Street and Park Avenue, faced a different situation when preparing for demolition and construction.

A family with two properties on 23rd Street refused to sell their homes to the developer, forcing a change in their site plan. George Kalil, owner of Kalil Bottling Company and president of the Millville Neighborhood Association, said he talked to the family regarding the permanence of their decision.

“Somewhere along the lines it’ll be too late once they lay the cement and they put the roads in,” Kalil said.

The developer offered $250,000 for each of the two properties, but the families still refused. Kalil said at the time that the developer was purchasing the properties in January, one of their elderly relatives wanted to stay there.

“Every time we approached them, they would basically just double our offer and we just kind of took it that they did not want to sell at any price at that point,” said Jason Doornbos, vice president of acquisitions and development of Landmark Properties.

The developer plans to build around the two houses and put up a wall to separate them from the student housing community.

“We won’t even be able to tell that they’re there,” Doornbos said.

Though Kalil believes the housing complex will change the neighborhood completely, he said the family seems to be “perfectly happy” being in the middle of the complex.

“They said, ‘No, we’re quite content staying right here,’” he added.

Landmark Properties’ complex, which will be named The Retreat, is set to open fall 2013 with 774 bedrooms.

A pair of houses still remain at the intersection of Highland Avenue and 23rd Street, where construction for a student-housing development has begun. Similar conflicts have occurred throughout Tucson with the rise in student housing.

Hart talks immediate priorities, long-term goals upon arrival Q&A

Hart’s contract

ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

In February, the Arizona Board of Regents chose Ann Weaver Hart to assume the position of university president. Hart, who has degrees in history and educational administration from the University of Utah, has been in higher education administration for a number of years, having served as president of the University of New Hampshire and Temple University in Pennsylvania before coming to the UA. The Summer Wildcat sat down with Hart to discuss the goals over the course of her presidency at the UA.

During one of your first visits to the UA as a candidate, you said you were going to have to develop a trusting relationship with students, faculty and staff. How do you go about developing that relationship?

I’ve already started making my list and checking it twice. It’s important to begin with the formal shared governance groups that represent our students and who represent our faculty and staff: the APAC (Appointed Professionals Advisory Council), the Faculty Senate, the graduate student leadership and the undergraduate student leadership. I already have meetings scheduled with all of those groups. Obviously it’s

Q&A

Summer Wildcat: We’re still in the first week of your arrival to Tucson. What are your priorities this early on?

Hart: The very most important issues that are sitting right on my desk right now are some very critical executive leadership positions. We need to hire a new provost, we need to hire a senior vice president for the health sciences, we are looking for an executive director for our new Tech Launch Arizona initiative, and we are searching for a senior vice president for external relations.

going to take a lot of time and it’s a lifetime career time commitment, but I’m going to persist.

The UA has a prestigious reputation as a research university, an athletic institution and as a relaxed place to attend college, mainly because of the climate and culture in Tucson. How do you plan to continue balancing those images?

I would use the word “integrate” instead of “balance,” because then you can magnify your success by playing off those strengths and unifying the way that they become copacetic. Our great athletic tradition creates a fantastic opportunity to get together, have a wonderful time, celebrate our loyalty to the University of Arizona and

build spirit as an institution. Our incredible achievements academically provide an opportunity for our faculty to achieve for our students to work with the very best faculty in the world. The relaxed atmosphere gives us an opportunity to interact with one another on a less formal basis, which I find very gratifying.

How will leading a university in the middle of the desert differ from leading a university on the east coast, either in terms of climate, demographics or otherwise?

I think the demographics in particular are unique to each area in which I have worked. Northern New England is very different than north Philadelphia. Each area

Anything to add?

It’s a tremendous honor to be here, and I have been so impressed with our students.

I got great advice to always wear sunscreen, shouted out from the audience. And from the faculty and students, this place has incredible talent and loyalty at all levels, and so being a part of a team with that depth … that’s very exciting for me.

Online shopping tax discourages competition

T

he Arizona Retailers’ Association will soon begin a statewide campaign for Arizona to instate a sales tax on items that Arizonans buy online. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer created the Transaction Privilege Tax Simplification Task Force and members are set to meet July 23 to discuss the potential tax.

Retail stores claim a tax would be a move toward equality, but the truth is, it hinders progress and competition for all businesses.

Owners of retail businesses have complained since the Internet encroached on their territory that they aren’t getting a fair shake. They claim that the lack of taxes

and several other states. Larger states like California have managed to strike a deal with Amazon and avoid the tax until September or if the federal government decides against the mandate. Arizona is not likely to be so lucky.

Consumers have a right to the lowest price they can find. The principle behind a free market is that the best businessman, with the best business model and the best goods, wins. Nowhere does it say in a business class or economics textbook that if you are being beat, simply try to put the other guy out of business. That’s not competition, it’s cheating.

It isn’t as though online retailers have all the disadvantages in this game. For one, they have to deal with shipping costs, which isn’t a problem for physical stores. For some people, this tax doesn’t even change the way they shop, and a tax on top of online shipping would not dissuade online shoppers from purchasing.

Amazon has come up with a creative solution to the shipping problem. They offer

Animal abandonment rises with financial hard times Max Efrein Arizona Summer Wildcat

W

hen times are tough, people are not the only ones who suffer.

With the economy in the dumps, more and more pet owners are abandoning or worse, murdering their loyal companions.

Through good and bad, our pets are always there for us, and now it’s time to return the favor by preventing animal abuse.

“People are simply struggling to afford to feed and take care of their pets,” said Samantha Esquivel, public relations lead at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, in a telephone interview.

“Instead of responsibly bringing these animals into shelters or seeking friends and neighbors who can provide them with a good home, it has become increasingly common for pets to be abandoned in apartment complexes, leashed to park benches with no identification and even left out in the desert to fend for themselves,” said Esquivel.

The Pima Animal Care Center alone

conducts approximately 1,800 cruelty and neglect investigations and picks up more than 5,000 dead animals on average each year according to their website.

Animals that do live through such turmoil are usually not “pet-seekers” first choice when browsing the pound for a new companion, as they are usually in poor health.

It comes down to apathy, said Laura Hughes, a member of the Lucky Club Rescue Group, an animal rescue group located in Prescott, Ariz.

“Many people just don’t see the lives of animals as valuable,” she said.

Unsympathetic pet owners may try to avoid the small fee attached to dropping off animals at a rescue shelter, or they may not wish to look for alternative solutions if the shelter is full. Even taking your pet out back and shooting it is more humane than simply leaving it tied up to a tree with nothing but rat poison to end its suffering, a scene Hughes fell witness to while on the job. Those who do such things would rather not face the consequences of their actions, but as the saying goes, “out of sight, out of mind.”

Unlike natural disasters, financial disasters do not happen overnight. How can our pets possibly understand when financial burden leads to the decision to give them up? Pet owners must take the time to make sure their animals still have a chance to live a good life.

The act of neglect, abuse, mistreatment or abandonment of an animal is a Class 6 felony with a minimum jail sentence of six months for first time offenders.

People who choose to adopt animals are not always prepared or educated enough to deal with the responsibilities that come with pet ownership. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals estimates the cost for a large dog is $875 a year for food, medical expenses, toys and a various pet related expenses and $560 for first-year setup costs. The estimated expense for a cat is $670 a year, with first-year expenses of $365, for a total of $1,035. However, money is not the only issue here, responsibility must be apparent as well. A responsible pet owner realizes that tying one’s animal to a fence for years on end, with nothing but a bowl of food twice a day is not adequate care. If this is the extent of your affection toward domesticated animals, then you’re better off handing over your pet to a shelter. At least that way the animal has a chance to be in a home with someone who will properly love and care for it.

Our faithful four-legged friends deserve proper care, even when we face tough financial times.

Amazon Prime, which includes “free” 2-day shipping with a yearly lump-sum of $80.

Amazon Prime is an example of a business looking at the problem presented to it, and figuring out a way around it. Amazon didn’t go to the government and request that they add a $5 surcharge on all goods purchased in stores to account for the lack of shipping — they solved their own problem. Amazon is currently collecting sales tax in six states: Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, Texas and Washington.

The Arizona Retailers’ Association would do well to follow Amazon’s example.

“We’re not putting all our eggs in one basket yet,” said Michelle Almer, executive director of the Arizona Retailers’ Association, in a released statement, “because we don’t know what the task force is going to do.”

on Internet sales gives them a competitive disadvantage and that they have no recourse other than a change in government policy.

Retailers who want to push an Internet sales tax would instead be better off using their time to brainstorm options on how to compete with online retailers. These options could include moving their business online, streamlining their business model or simply lowering prices. In the past, Senate Bill 1338, required a tax for online retailers, failed to pass three times, according to the Arizona Capitol Times.

There are also signs that an Internet sales tax will only hurt Arizona’s economy.

Arkansas passed a law in 2011 requiring companies that did business with in-state marketing affiliates to tax purchases shipped to the state. In response, the country’s largest online retailer, Amazon.com, simply terminated relations with all Arkansas affiliates. The same thing has happened in Connecticut, Illinois, North Carolina

Coach Joe Paterno not to blame for Sandusky Robert Alcaraz ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

J

oe Paterno was done in by the one thing he lived by: loyalty. The late Paterno, ex-college football coach of Penn State, has shouldered much of the blame for not reporting Jerry Sandusky’s child abuse crimes.

Paterno and Sandusky were friends and colleagues for decades. They shared a mutual trust that can only be present in longtime friendships. Dan Wetzel, a sports columnist for Yahoo.com, described Paterno as a person who only cared about those who were already cared for and a man who looked away when trouble struck.

“He turned his back on the very kids that were desperate for the kind of hero that Joe Paterno’s former legacy claimed he was all about,” Wetzel said.

With the exposure of the recent Freeh report, people are putting even more blame on Paterno for not doing his part to turn in the vicious criminal.

But how much is really his fault?

What Wetzel fails to understand is that other people knew the facts. Paterno had

informed the now ex-president of Penn State Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley. Also, senior vice president Gary Schultz, who was overseeing the campus police at the time, did nothing after gaining knowledge of what happened.

Paterno was also blamed for not taking action when Sandusky was initially accused in 1998, but it was the campus police who hastily dropped the case.

By entrusting the issue to the school’s authority, wasn’t Paterno following necessary protocol?

From 1969 to 1999, Paterno and Sandusky were on the same team. They were together for the entire football preseason and regular season for 30 years. Paterno had assurance and reliance in Sandusky, he thought that his friend truly was helping those less fortunate and teaching them about the game that he held so dear to him.

Could Paterno have done more to ensure that a deleterious rapist wasn’t doing harm to the children of the Second Mile? Yes. Should most of the blame be put on his shoulders? Absolutely not.

Paterno took the steps to inform the school leaders. He had asked Sandusky about the allegations and received answers he believed to be true.

It is perfectly reasonable to put some blame on the legendary coach, but it makes no sense to attack him personally and tarnish his reputation as the best college

UA Baja team sets personal record at Wisconsin event

By Isaac Cox Arizona Summer Wildcat

After placing 12th in the Baja SAE (Society of Auto Engineers) Wisconsin competition last month, the UA Baja Racing team will get a head start this summer on gathering more sponsors for next year’s competition in Washington.

The UA Baja Racing team was established as a club in 2006. Since then, the club has grown and progressively improved in competitions.

The competition, which involves not only competing in racing and endurance events with an all-terrain vehicle but also building the vehicle from the ground up, is meant to provide engineering students with a handson experience. The competition requires these vehicles to participate in arduous events, such as the pulling event, where cars have to pull a certain weight from their back end.

“They set up this program to get young engineers the experience that everybody needs,” said Sean Hays, the team’s president and a civil engineering senior. “The idea is SAE is a fictional firm and they’re looking to buy a new prototype off-road vehicle for mass production. It’s supposed to be marketed to your average off-road enthusiast.”

The competition rates each car for a total of 1000 points. It is broken down into three sections: overall dynamic, overall static and the endurance race. Overall dynamic is worth a total of 300 points. It challenges the car’s acceleration, land maneuverability, mud

bogging ability, pulling endurance, suspension and traction, each for 60 points. Overall Static is worth 300 points and questions the students on the cost of parts used to build the car for 100 points and the designing of the car for 200 points.

The endurance race is worth 400 points and lasts four hours. The objective is to do as many laps around the course as possible.

During the race, repairs can be made if anything breaks and contestants are allowed to switch drivers.

Out of 117 teams from around the world in the recent competition, they did away with their record from last year, 21 out of 100.

Despite the team’s success, members still recognize the challenges of competing with the club.

“There are a lot of clubs and organizations on campus, but not all of them actually build something,” said Matt Ware, a team member and electrical and computer engineering sophomore.

The team runs tests year-round and tries its best to simulate the environment they would face in a competition.

Two years ago, Abrams Airborne Manufacturing, Inc., one of the team’s sponsors, let them build their own off-road track in a property behind the manufacturing house.

The team’s members are responsible for finding their own sponsors and money, while still building the best car. The cost for admission is $1,000, and after calculating the cost of parts and manufacturing along with other expenses, the sum is around $12,000.

But for some team members, the hard work

Boy Scouts, after secret review, reaffirms ban on gays Mcclatchy tribune

HOUSTON — The Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday reaffirmed the organization’s policy of excluding gays, despite recent protest campaigns by members, including some of the group’s board.

The announcement came after a confidential two-year review by an 11-member special committee formed by Scout leaders in 2010, a spokesman said.

Spokesman Deron Smith, based at the Boy Scouts’ headquarters outside Dallas, declined to identify members of the committee, but said in a statement sent to the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that they represented “a diversity of perspectives and opinions.”

According to the statement, the special committee “came to the conclusion that this policy is absolutely the best policy for the Boy Scouts.”

“The review included forthright and candid conversation and extensive research and evaluations — both from within Scouting and from outside of the organization,” the statement said.

The special committee included professional Boy Scouts executives and adult volunteers, according to the statement, and was unanimous in its recommendation to preserve scouting’s long-standing policy, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000.

As a result of the committee’s recommendation, the Boy Scouts’ executive board will take no further action on a recently submitted resolution asking for reconsideration of the membership policy, according to the statement.

The Boy Scouts’ chief executive, Bob Mazzuca, said he thinks there is broad-based support for the current policy, which applies to leaders and scouts.

“The vast majority of the parents of youth we serve value their right to address issues of same-sex orientation within their family, with spiritual advisers and at the appropriate time and in the right setting,” Mazzuca said in a Tuesday statement sent to the Times. “We fully understand that no single policy will accommodate the many diverse views among our membership or society.”

But at least two members of the Boy Scouts’ national executive board — Ernst & Young Chief Executive James Turley and AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson — recently indicated that they would try to change the policy. Stephenson is due to become president of the board in two years.

It was not clear from a Tuesday statement how the board planned to handle these internal divisions.

“Scouting believes that good people can personally disagree on this topic and still work together to achieve the life-changing benefits to youth through Scouting,” the statement said. “While not all board members may personally agree with this policy, and may choose a different direction for their own organizations, BSA leadership agrees this is the best policy for the organization.”

The Boy Scouts have faced repeated protests concerning the membership policy.

On Tuesday, GLAAD highlighted the case of a 19-year-old Missouri Eagle Scout forced to leave his job as a Boy Scout camp counselor after he came out as gay last week.

“With organizations including the Girl Scouts of the USA, the Boys & Girls Club and the U.S. military allowing gay Americans to participate, the Boy Scouts of America need to find a way to treat all children and their parents fairly,” GLAAD President Herndon Graddick said in a statement. “Until this ban is lifted, the Scouts are putting parents in a situation where they have to explain to their children why some scouts and hard-working scout leaders are being turned away simply because of who they are.”

GLAAD also highlighted an ongoing protest, which drew nationwide attention earlier this year, by Jennifer Tyrrell, an ousted Ohio Boy Scout den mother forced to leave because she’s a lesbian.

More than 300,000 people have signed a Change.org petition urging the Boy Scouts to reinstate Tyrrell and to change their policy against gay members and leaders. Protest organizers plan to deliver the petition to the Boy Scouts’ national headquarters on Wednesday, where Smith said officials plan to meet with them privately.

No medical card for meth

Arizona Summer Wildcat • 7 under arrest. Tucson Fire Department arrived on the scene to evaluate the health condition of the suspect. The suspect was later transported to UAMC due to cardiac problems. The vial was taken back to UAPD, and the white powder inside tested positive for methamphetamines. Evidence from the scene was placed into UAPD Property and Evidence and the vial of white residue was sent to a Department of Public Safety lab for testing. The other suspect was warned of trespassing and released from the scene.

UAPD received a call from a UA custodian who noticed two non-UA affiliated males take drugs out of a toilet paper holder from one of the bathrooms in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering building on July 6 at 1:47 a.m. Officers arrived on the scene and made contact with both male suspects.

A records check was performed on both suspects, and one suspect displayed an active misdemeanor warrant while the other suspect had none. The men told the officers that they were dropped off by a cab and were walking to “UMC, known as University of Arizona Medical Center.” It was noted in the report that the suspects initially denied going into the AME building. One of the suspects stated that he entered the building earlier that day because he left his keys. The other suspect denied going into the building at all. One of the suspects then began to complain of chest pain and told officers he could not breathe. Officers called for medical assistance.

The second officer spoke to the custodian, who said that the male suspect forgot his books inside. He gave him access and escorted him upstairs where the suspect went into the bathroom. The custodian noticed the suspect pull out a baggie from the toilet paper dispenser. He asked the suspect what he had and the suspect replied, “It’s bud. I have a card from California.” Officers asked the suspect if he told the custodian he had drugs, and he replied, “Yes. But all I have right now is glass cleaner which is legal.” Officers asked the suspect if he still had the glass cleaner on him. The suspect removed a small plastic vial with a black top from his right front pocket. It was noted in the report that the vial contained a white powder. The suspect was placed

Plans to digitize the collection and put it into an online database are also in the works. The database will collaborate with collections in other southwestern states, and will aid conservation planners, climate change modelers and educators in finding out which species live where, Moore added. “(Insects) affect our lives in intimate ways,” she said. “It’s important for us to know who’s out there, which species are doing what and what the major threats are for their future, because it will also affect our lives.”

being stored in, as well as the removal of at least one surrounding wall.

The department’s storage equipment, having reached capacity, has also restricted the collection’s expansion. Many specimens are crammed into drawers, overlapping one another in the cramped space. According to Olson, the department hired a carpenter to build the storage units when the collection began, and, while specific dimensions were given, the drawers and cabinets were not all built correctly.

This resulted in cabinets being slightly smaller than average storage units used by entomologists around the country, and units that don’t seal properly.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer noticed a white Pontiac Firebird traveling between two lanes at high speed on Speedway Boulevard on July 7 at 2:27 a.m. The officer flashed his emergency lights and pulled the driver over into a parking lot. Officers approached the vehicle and the suspect was identified by his Washington driver’s license. Officers asked the male suspect for his insurance card and registration. The suspect was carrying an insurance card for a Harley Davidson motorcycle and had expired registration on the vehicle. Officers noted in the report that there was a moderate odor of intoxicants coming from the vehicle and the driver had bloodshot, watery eyes. Officers asked the suspect to step out of the vehicle, and conducted a series of field sobriety tests. When officers began the breath test, the suspect said, “I had bronchitis and am still recovering from it.”

It took him three attempts to submit a sufficient sample. The test results came back positive for intoxication. The suspect was read his Miranda rights and officers placed him under arrest. The suspect was cited with aggrevated DUI, and was taken back to headquarters for further testing and processing. It was noted in the report that four breath tests were issued. The suspect signed a duplicate test advisory and stated he wanted an independent test. Officers took the suspect to the University of Arizona Medical Center for the independent testing. The Pontiac was impounded for a minimum of 30 days. Evidence from the scene was placed into UAPD Property and Evidence.

ARE WE UNDEAD YET? Signs of the impending zombie apocalypse

By Brenton Woodward ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

When the zombies invade, you need a secure location to hole up in until the Army comes and saves you. This might take years, if it ever happens at all, so you should find a place that is impenetrable, comfortable and — preferably — awesome.

Here are the best places to go while the dead walk:

Davis Monthan Air Force Base

It’s secure, it has living space, and considering its military associations, it probably has weapons. The potential for deadly riots is a serious consideration here, though. Everyone in town will be trying to get in for safety, and the military will be trying to keep them out. Maybe wait for the riots to end to see how that pans out.

Picacho Peak rest area

Forty miles from the Tucson metro area, the danger of running into zombies will be significantly lessened. Picacho Peak, normally a stop for tourists and bikers, could be a great stop for survivors.

There’s a Dairy Queen, a gift shop and an “adult

By Morgan Toone and Greg Gonzales ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

The year 2000 brought fear to the public at the hands of the Y2K scare. People prepared for the worst, stocking up on nonperishables and seeking shelter. More recently, talk of the world ending in December has spread like wildfire. After seeing movies like “Dawn of the Dead” and “Resident Evil,” I think it’s safe to say that no one hopes to be battling zombies on their dying day. In light of recent events, however, it seems we all might be doing just that.

Don’t believe us? Take a look at a few realworld zombie attacks that have happened just this year.

Zombie “Face-Off”

On May 29, the non-believers got a sign.

Miami resident Rudy Eugene, 31, attacked the homeless Ronald Poppo, 65, and began to eat the majority of his face. Surveillance tapes showed Eugene gnawing on Poppo’s face for around 18 minutes before police arrived and shot Eugene multiple times.

The cover-up: It was originally reported that Eugene had ingested a “bath salt” stimulant drug and went on an animalistic rampage. After the autopsy, it was found that he had only smoked the munchie-inducing marijuana in recent weeks.

The likely truth: Eugene was probably turning into a zombie while he smoked the last joint of his life. As a result, he got extremely hungry — for brains. Sadly for Eugene, he never quite got there … he only made off with a nose and cheek.

Om nom nom

Only a day after the Miami incident, Maryland college student Alex Kinyua, 21, was arrested for a grisly attack on his roommate. Kinyua admitted to using a knife to carve up and kill his buddy before eating parts of his heart and brain.

A posting was later discovered on his Facebook page that preached “mass human sacrifice.”

Scared yet?

The cover-up: Kinyua was clearly mentally unstable.

The likely truth: As an undergraduate, Kinyua was just as unknown as the guy one seat over in a Psych 101 class. But because of his knowledge as an electrical engineering major, he could have been useful in creating the technology used for the creation of a zombie virus. To keep things under wraps, the labs probably chose Kinyua at random, and Kinyua turned to Aztec-style religion to redeem himself of his contribution to the Rudy Eugene case.

Not enough cornbread

On June 2, Miami showed its true bloody colors once more. Brandon De Leon, a homeless 21-year-old, got into an altercation outside a local Boston Market in North Miami Beach.

When the cops arrived, De Leon proceeded to bang his head against the glass of the patrol car while screaming that he was going to eat the officers. He continued to bark and growl until transported to the station, where he tried to bite the officer taking his blood pressure.

The cover-up: After blood tests, it was reported De Leon was under the influence of Four Loko, bath salts, marijuana and Xanax. He

ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT • 9

was later quoted as saying he had no recollection of that night. But how can a zombie say anything about his experiences?

The likely truth: De Leon was turning into a zombie as he was being arrested. In order to keep him for study, he was given a serum to slow the zombie virus down. This way, he can still talk and describe his symptoms while being infected at the same time. Very soon, he could transform entirely.

K-2 crazy — or infection?

A quiet night in late June at the Daniel household turned into a nightmare when 22-year-old Michael Daniel decided to beat, choke and eat the family dog. In the spirit of the dead dog, he barked, growled and attacked neighbors and family. According to reports, Daniel requested that officers taze him “to help him get off his bad trip.” He’s now facing charges for animal cruelty, but he’ll be facing a lot more when the zombie treatment force comes along.

The cover-up: Once again, a synthetic drug has been blamed for the cause of an animalistic, violent outburst.

The likely truth: As more and more zombies pop up, the government has to bastardize something else that’s had a recent rise in popularity: the controversial use of synthetic drugs. The horror stories are all over the news — and have been for a couple years now. Daniel is likely another subject of study injected with the virus-slowing serum.

Keep watch in coming months for more reports of animalistic behavior.

boutique,” so you’re set for supplies. And if the undead horde does come trundling over the horizon, you can climb the peak and watch them struggle feebly to follow you up the steep slope.

Biosphere 2

This location has the same distance advantage as Picacho Peak, but with the bonus of being able to grow all your own food. It’s a closed and self-sufficient environment, so once you and your companions are set up inside, it will be difficult for any contagions, nuclear fallout or reanimated corpses to get inside and kill you.

San Xavier del Bac Mission

They built churches to last back in the Spanish mission days, because a church was also a fort and a housing compound. This is probably the best you’re going to get without building a castle out in the desert, because San Xavier basically is a castle out in the desert. It’s removed enough from the central Tucson area to avoid max zombie population density, while still being close enough for supply runs into the city. It’s defensible, it’s nice to look at, it has its own well — and most people won’t think to go there.

The San Xavier del Bac Mission stands as a beacon of safety in the desert, far enough from Tucson to be safe and fortified enough to keep out the wandering, undead hordes.

Shop or drop dead: a zombie survival supply guide

By Brenton Woodward ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

The zombie apocalypse is imminent. The particulars are still uncertain, but what does it matter, really? The world is about to be overrun by walking, cannibalistic corpses, and that’s all you need to know. If you want to survive this inevitable disaster, you have some shopping to do. Here are some essential items you can get at local stores:

fighting, so why not class it up and smash skulls the British way? This particular cricket bat not only has a badass name but also has wicked tribal decals in a zombie-riffic black-and-green color scheme.

mileage, a high adrenaline rush and exponentiallyincreased risk of death. But did you know bikers also sometimes wear a suit of high-tech synthetic armor, which happens to be perfect for fighting zombies?

This armored jacket is bite-proof and impactresistant, so it should make significant headway in keeping you alive.

Riding a motorcycle has its perks: better gas

You’ll need a good backpack to carry your gear and any supplies you find while you’re on the move. This pack has lots of storage space, snazzy styling and puts the weight on your hips instead of your shoulders so you can carry more weight for a longer period of time.

A .22 rifle is really all you need to kill zombies, because it doesn’t matter how big the hole is if you shoot them in the head. The Ruger 10/22 is one of the most popular rifles and is relatively cheap.

It also makes a great gift for that special someone you’re hoping to repopulate the planet with.

Leatherman Blast Multi Tool: $55 at Sportsman’s Warehouse

Federal Ammunition Lightning .22LR Ammunition: $2 per 50-round box at Walmart

Leatherman tools are basically Swiss Army knives on steroids. This one has a knife, saw, file, screwdriver, scissors, can-opener and pliers, making it invaluable for life after Z-Day. Cheaper versions exist, but this model is a good balance between cost and utility.

This higher-powered .22 ammo packs a bit more of a punch while still being dirt-cheap. Both the cheapest and the most important item on this list, ammunition will be the first thing stores run out of when the zombies attack, so buy lots of it now and go shoot some targets to hone your skills.

Total: $865

This might seem like a lot, but surviving the zombie apocalypse is priceless. Even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have taken notice, writing up a full guide for survival — clearly, this is a viable threat. You can find the CDC guide online at http://www.cdc.gov/phpr/zombies.htm.

Any large-scale disaster, especially in Arizona, threatens the availability of clean drinking water.

Madi Kingdon, a sophomore on Arizona’s volleyball team, is expecting more of herself as a player and a leader this year, in the hopes of improving on a 2011 season that saw the Wildcats sputter out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round.

The former All Pac-12 Freshman Team member and outside hitter spoke with the Summer Wildcat about her adjustment to the collegiate level, playing for Team USA this summer and how her role on the team has changed.

Summer Wildcat: How hard was it to make the adjustment from high school to college?

Madi Kingdon: It’s really hard actually, because when you go to college, the game is a lot faster. Most of the practices involved just adjusting to the speed of the game rather than speed or technique. Girls are a lot slimmer and stronger, so they hit faster and harder because it’s a faster game I guess.

playing against the same people all the time.

They get to experience a new team and play with other girls and see how it is to play with other girls. They can bring that back to us and have a different way of playing with us and incorporate things that they learned from playing with other girls.

How do you prevent that team drama from coming up again this season?

I think just making sure you include everyone in team activities because girls have a tendency to be very cliquey. I think everyone hanging out and being friends and a family atmosphere, we’ll be all right.

If you could change anything about last season, other than injury, what would it be?

I think when we went to the NCAA tournament we lost in the first round. I think that we had a lot of team drama I guess you could say.

I wish in that game, in that one situation, we all could have been more of a family instead of separate individuals playing.

What did you most want to improve on at the end of last season?

I think being a leader and a role model for the incoming freshmen, and even for people on our team now. We don’t have any seniors this year, so some younger people are going to have to step up and lead our team. I think that

You were selected to be on the All Pac-12 Freshman Team, how could you have been better?

Actually, during the season, I was injured halfway through, so I feel like if that were to not happen I would have been a lot better, not to blame my not doing better on injury.

I think having that not happen, I would have been able to perform a lot better because I missed some games because of that.

There are seven freshmen on this season’s roster. What do you tell them to ease the transition you just had to make?

Just to stay focused. A lot of times, even now, I get frustrated when they’re trying to teach me stuff, but the faster you adjust to the new higher level of play, the easier it will be. I would tell them to focus on what you’re learning instead of getting angry about learning new things from our coaches and the new style of play.

Three of your teammates are headed overseas to play for the Team USA Development Team. How does experience like that from other players help the team?

It helps a lot because they get to play with different players and of course, they’re in another country, so they get to see how players play over there. It’s just a different level of intensity instead of being at open gyms and

Penn State’s failure does not fall solely on Paterno Cameron Moon Arizona Summer Wildcat

“Pride. Tradition. Loyalty.” Penn State’s athletic credo has never meant less.

The once gleaming reputation of the Nittany Lions along with the reputation of the late Joe Paterno has crumbled and fallen apart like day-old bread, thanks to the most recent findings in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal brought forth by the Freeh report.

The Freeh report, a 267-page, eight-month inquiry by former FBI director Louis Freeh, shed more light on the open sore that is the Sandusky scandal.

Thanks to Freeh, we now know former school president Graham Spanier, senior vice president Gary Schultz, athletic director Tim Curley and Paterno were all aware of Sandusky’s crimes, but decided against reporting him to preserve the reputation of their football program.

Congratulations, gentlemen. You clung to the positive public perception of your beloved Nittany Lions for 13 years, but now the scandal has overtaken the nation and damaged the psyche of those who looked to Penn State as a symbol of stability and excellence in collegiate athletics.

From the moment Victim 6, as he is called in both the trial and Freeh report, was assaulted in the Lasch building showers in 1998, Sandusky should have been terminated as a coach and representative of Penn State.

Instead, campus police, who provided the only in-depth investigation against Sandusky of any kind, concluded that no crime should be logged, even after hearing Sandusky admit that he hugged Victim 6 in the showers, presumably allowing their genitals to touch.

University officials and the police department advised Sandusky to refrain from entering Lasch alone with a child at any time in the future, which he agreed to.

Instead, Sandusky was granted emeritus status, allowing him access to every recreation facility on campus, which Schultz and Spanier approved, even after learning of the

Arizona’s ‘Ooh Aah Man’ is in danger of losing his home

By Cameron Moon Arizona Summer Wildcat

One of the UA’s most beloved athletic figures is in danger of losing his home after 33 years of service to Wildcat basketball, football and baseball fans.

Joe Cavaleri brought smiles to the faces of countless Arizona fans as the “Ooh Aah Man,” entering basketball games to the delight of students and families. He would strip down to his undershirt and short shorts, demanding fans to chant and cheer.

The former “Ooh Aah Man,” is behind six

months on his mortgage and unless he receives $3,500 by this month, he will be evicted along with his four children, who have lived with him since Cavaleri and his wife divorced five years ago.

“It really sucks I am going to lose the house I spent the last 26 years of my life in,” said Cavaleri. “It is a shame because if I collected a dollar from everyone who has ever cheered with me, I could pay off my house and my car right now.”

The athletic department told Cavaleri last season that he needed to retire his three decade-long tradition, as his Parkinson’s disease was limiting his mobility.

me and our libero (junior Candace Nicholson) do that really well.

You played for Team USA Volleyball this summer. How does that experience help you individually?

It’s the same thing as the other girls who are in Europe right now. It’s a whole different experience with some of the best girls in the country, so it is like a higher level of play.

I just feel like going there and getting away from my team and playing with girls that play just because they love the sport is so refreshing. Sometimes, people will go to practice and everyone is like “Oh, it’s just another day of practice,” so going there and playing with people who genuinely love playing volleyball is a refreshing experience.

July 18-24, 2012 • Sports How do you resist a sophomore slump?

I go to therapy and stuff every day. I rolled both my ankles, so I got to rehab every day for that and then for team drama stuff, we’ve just been including a lot of the freshmen in going to dinner, just hanging out with them and stuff and making them feel included. It sucks to come here and not know anyone and not have your team accept you.

What are your best and worst attributes on the court?

I think my best attribute would be that I’m an all-around player. I support my team really well, but on the other hand, when I’m frustrated, I kind of shut down and I don’t really talk to people, so I figure I need to work on when I make mistakes, being able to come back from that in a less negative way and more positive toward myself.

original 1998 incident in the showers with Victim 6.

Sandusky was deemed an appropriate “Volunteer Position Director – Positive Action for Youth” by Paterno at the request of Sandusky, who was told he would not be the heir apparent to Paterno as head coach.

His position allowed him to start Second Mile, an organization for disadvantaged Pennsylvania youth that we now know was the means by which Sandusky found and preyed on most of his victims.

All the while, the brain trust of the university and athletic department, not just Paterno, empowered a sexual predator because of his claimed passion for aiding youth in need.

By “aiding” the youths he assaulted, Sandusky created a “culture of concealment,” as Freeh put it. This could have been stopped at any time, most notably in 1998 or 2001, when graduate assistant Mike McQueary reported to Paterno that he had seen Sandusky in the showers with yet another pre-pubescent boy.

Upon hearing of the incident, Paterno told McQueary, “You did what you had to do. It’s my job now to figure out what we want to do.”

Paterno reported this — the second Sandusky incident brought to his attention — to his supervisors, who again did nothing but review the 1998 incident and forbid Sandusky from entering Lasch with a child

alone ever again.

“Despite Spanier’s, Schultz’s, Paterno’s and Curley’s knowledge of criminal investigations of Sandusky regarding child abuse as early as 1998, they failed to control Sandusky’s access to the university’s facilities and campuses,” page 103 of the Freeh report states.

What made the Sandusky predicament worse were the lies told to the grand jury in January 2011.

Paterno was asked if he had any previous knowledge via “any way, through rumor, direct knowledge or any other fashion” of Sandusky’s unjustifiable actions.

“I do not know of anything else that Jerry would be involved in of that nature, no,” Paterno said. He briefly addressed that he may have heard a rumor in his presence, but that the conversation was directed at someone else.

He knew. They all knew, and did nothing for the sake of reputation and avoiding bad publicity: every athletic program’s worst nightmare.

Spanier, Curley, Paterno and Schultz picked the absolute worst time to show the loyalty that Penn State attempts to engrave in the minds of students, faculty and alumni.

The men who had the power to stop Sandusky from routinely sexually abusing children did nothing in order to preserve a faulty perception of what Penn State is, and in the process may have irreparably damaged not only their reputations, but the future of Penn State football as well.
