VP of health affairs reflects on tenure By Brenna Goth DAILY WILDCAT
Dr. William Crist, the UA’s vice president of health affairs, announced his retirement earlier this month. Crist came to the UA in 2008 and said he planned on staying three or four years. He oversaw major changes to the UA’s health system, including the merger between University Medical Center and the University Physicians Hospital as well as the growth of the UA’s medical program in Phoenix. J. Lyle Bootman, dean of the College of Pharmacy, will replace Crist in September. Crist will retire in Missouri to spend time with his family.

UA drives alternative transport progams By Rebecca Rillos DAILY WILDCAT
The UA is expanding programs and resources in support of campus community members who use alternative transportation. One such resource is the completion of the Tyndall Avenue Enhancement Project, an effort that remodeled a stretch of Tyndall Avenue from Sixth Street to University Boulevard. The street was repaved and renovations include new curbs, asphalt, crosswalks, wheelchair ramps and the addition of bike lanes on both sides of the street. “The street is more bike and pedestrian-friendly,” said Thomas Amparano, transportation manager for Parking and Transportation Services.

Profs consider Google Plus as teaching tool By Amer Taleb DAILY WILDCAT
The faster students integrate Google Plus into their personal lives, the quicker teachers can implement it in the classroom. Google’s nearly two-month-old social networking site combines older services such as Gmail, Google Docs and YouTube into a single platform, while also introducing new tools and features. Circles allow users to organize contacts into different sharing groups, hangouts admit up to 10 for a video chat and huddle equips users’ mobile devices to communicate via instant messaging within circles. Michael McKisson, an adjunct instructor in the School of Journalism, said he is considering incorporating
Google Plus into his entrepreneurial journalism class next spring. McKisson said he might assign a research topic, have students share their findings within circles and then discuss them. “Students don’t just want to sit there and listen to a lecture, they want to engage,” he said. “Anytime a new type of technology comes out, people in the field of education are going to try and figure out a way to use it to benefit the students.” Joy Healam, a psychology sophomore, said she had heard about Google Plus, but has not used it. She said she prefers classes that incorporate new tools and technology GOOGLE, 4

The UMC, the UPH, the College of Medicine — they were functioning rather separately even though all three components were necessary to deliver care to patients.

Solar powered and by the hour PTS implements parking meters that take credit cards, not coins By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT
by streamlining the operation.” According to Davidson, the proposal to change the meters on the UA campus came about after the solar stations were tested at the UA’s Phoenix Biomedical Campus, with positive feedback from users. However, the new system can be confusing for those who are accustomed to the old meters. “I like the idea that you don’t need to have quarters all the time, but I don’t like that I can’t figure out how to use it right now,” said Maggie Christy, a communication senior, when trying to use the station for the first time. “It’s confusing using it for the first time but having to bring change around was a hassle,” Christy added. Since the beginning of school, the solar stations on average host around 800 transactions a day. They also allow users to pay in 20-minute increments and add additional time at any parking solar station on campus.
Returning students to the UA have noticed a big change in the parking meters on campus — they no longer accept change. Beginning in August, UA Parking and Transportation Services replaced about 400 standard coin-operated meters on campus with 35 new digital solar-powered stations. “The meters are going to be used to provide better customer service, better efficiency and better service for the campus, but also to our visitors too,” said Bill Davidson, director of marketing and communications for PTS. Each new parking station cost about $5,000 and is used for eight to 12 nearby parking spaces. But one of the biggest differences from
their old-meter counterparts is that they only accept credit cards and CatCards, no more change. “With the old meter we had to go out every day and collect coins, which took several hours and then we had to still take the money back and count it,” Davidson said. “In the long run, the new meters are going to save quite a bit of money

Quake hits East Coast, capital MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON — A magnitude 5.8 earthquake rattled nerves and jolted buildings in the nation’s capital Tuesday, a rare geological event that was felt up and down the East Coast from Georgia to Massachusetts. The quake’s epicenter was about 83 miles southwest of Washington in Virginia. It struck about 1:51 p.m. EDT, immediately sparking fears of a 9/11-type attack given that the area is not prone to temblors. “This earthquake was the largest in intensity and extent in historic times,” Julie Dutton, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Earthquake Center in Boulder, Colo. Washington office buildings and centers of power were quickly evacuated in orderly fashion, but the massive volume of cell phone calls and text messages appeared to have crashed communications systems.
LLOYD FOX/ MCT
People stand in the 700 block of W. Baltimore on Tuesday in Baltimore, Maryland, after being evacuated from buildings after a 5.9 magnitude earthquake centered in Mineral, Virginia and felt up the east coast.
The quake was felt on Martha’s Vineyard, where President Barack Obama was playing golf. Reporters traveling with Obama said they felt it. The White House said late
Tuesday that the president did not. In an earlier statement, the White House said that Obama led a conference call an hour after the quake with homeland security officials
and science advisers and was told that there were no reports of major infrastructure damage. With memories of Japan’s posttsunami nuclear problems still fresh, 11 U.S. nuclear plants — in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan — went on low-alert status, declaring an “unusual event” because they felt the earthquake. This triggers closer review of operations by plant officials and regulators. Late in the day, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a statement confirming that a 12th plant, the North Anna Power Station, operated by Dominion Virginia Power and relatively close to the epicenter, was on a higher alert status. The North Anna station declared its alert — the second-lowest of the commission’s four emergency classifications — “when the plant lost electricity from the grid following the quake just before
2 p.m. Tuesday,” the NRC said. “Power is being provided by onsite diesel generators and the plant’s safety systems are operating normally. Plant personnel and NRC resident inspectors are continuing to examine plant conditions.” At New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, the temblor shook water bottles and magazines off of shelves and frightened travelers. Some buildings in Manhattan evacuated as a precaution, and several airports along the East Coast were briefly closed to ensure there was no significant runway damage. The biggest scare, however, may have been in the nation’s capital, where the unexpected and unusual quake first felt like a wave followed by violent shaking. Drywall buckled and chipped, making surreal popping sounds. Light fixtures swayed as perplexed workers in office buildings struggled to make sense of why the ground was literally moving beneath their feet.
First hurricane of season set to hit US as early as weekend Irene would become first storm to make landfall stateside since 2008 MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
ATTENTION SENIORS!
ATLANTA — The latest on Hurricane Irene, from overnight reports: It will likely make landfall in the Carolinas sometime this weekend, moving north and potentially causing major headaches as far north as New England. Georgia is not as likely to be in Irene’s crosshairs, according to an online report from AccuWeather.com, which is great news for Georgians — unless you happen to be a Georgia farmer. Much of the Peach State has been suffering from what federal authorities
categorize as “extreme drought” — conditions not as bad as those currently afflicting Texas but bad enough to threaten crucial cotton and peanut crops. The Atlanta NBC affiliate WXIA reports that some areas are facing rain deficits of 14 inches this summer. Now the farmers are watching with some consternation as Irene appears to be headed out of their path. “Even if Irene was to come up the coast, the fact we would be on the left side of the hurricane would mean we probably still wouldn’t receive a tremendous amount of rainfall from it,” Georgia climatologist David Stooksbury told the channel in a separate report. In the absence of more rain, Jimmy Carter’s home state could produce its smallest peanut crop in three decades,
the station reported. Alex Sosnowski, an AccuWeather senior meteorologist, noted in the dispatch that Irene could take a path similar to that of Hurricane Bertha in 1996, which made landfall on the Carolina coast and then moved along the northeastern coast — a route that could mean little rain for the parched Southeastern interior. Sosnowski noted that Bertha was a Category 2 hurricane when it hit the U.S. But Irene should make landfall as a strong Category 3 — the strongest to hit the U.S. since Wilma in 2005, he wrote, with possible winds of more than 100 miles per hour, flooding and possible tornadoes. Sosnowski urged people in the eastern part of the Carolinas to begin evacuation plans.

Actually, the last weeks I’m here, I’m spending a lot of time with Dr. Bootman to share and introduce him to my colleagues so he can carry on in the same spirit and the same direction that we have been on for the last couple of years. The advice I give him is to work hard and enjoy it. There are a lot of contributions to be made over the next couple of years. I have every confidence in Dr. Bootman’s ability to oversee and lead. He’s one of the best minds in academic health care that I have ever met. It’s a great comfort to be handing the baton of leadership to Dr. Bootman. What’s next for the UA’s medical presence?

that. We’re building a major interprofessional education building on the Phoenix campus. It’s very impressive; it’s a very large building and will open in the summer of 2012. It will be training health workers in the same building so by the end of their training they know how to work together as a team … We’re also planning to build a second research building. The final thing is together with the leadership of the Maricopa Integrated Health System, we and others will be planning a new replacement for the county hospital. Really, there are a lot of exciting growth plans with the partners, mostly on the Phoenix campus. The Tucson campus will continue to build on what’s already here.

I think they’re moving forward in a very positive way. I had not ever had the opportunity to build a medical campus as we have in Phoenix. For me, it was a challenge to build the medical campus in Phoenix, which I think is going to be one of the major medical centers in the country in some years forward.
The most enjoyable part has been working with the deans of the health science colleges and watching them develop and grow in their ability to assume the responsibilities of their positions.
Johnny Tran, a pre-business freshman, said D2L is a little confusing for him and he thinks using Google Plus in class would help. “The campus is evolving and you see bright ideas everywhere,” he said. “Google Plus in classrooms sounds like it’s one of them.” Both Wimmer and McKisson said they expect more teachers on campus to at least experiment with the site. With more online sharing, Google Plus may also lead to less printing for students and teachers. “Less papers, hmm … that would be nice,” Wimmer added.

“Because they provide so many payment options for the meters, we think the end result is going to be people getting fewer citations and finding them (the meters) a whole lot easier to use,” said Mark Napier, an associate director for PTS. PTS plans to recycle old meters by giving them to other universities around the nation. Davidson also said some meters would be kept for nostalgic purposes and may be used in the future.

It would be an essential communication tool for students to use with him and each other.

A monument of significance On Sunday, the official dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial will take place. The recently completed monument stretches over 4 acres and is the first monument on the National Mall to depict and honor a black man. While our history books have always been there to inform and remind us of the great achievements of MLK, his face and overall presence have been needed in our nation’s capital. His monument is right where it belongs, in the very heart of the country and near the very grounds where his inspiring “I Have a Dream” speech took place. King fought the racial injustices of the past with undeniable courage and dedication, and for that purpose he takes his rightful spot among the men enshrined in Washington, D.C. All those involved in the construction of such a historic memorial have passed with flying colors.

Sex offender gets 5 instead of 10: Aaron Montoya, a former Tucson charter school teacher, was sentenced to five years in prison for having sex multiple times with a 14-year-old female student. Although state prosecutors tried to get Judge Jose Robles to sentence Montoya to 10 years in prison with lifetime probation, Robles was swayed by the public defense of Montoya. For letting Montoya get away with half the time because he somehow has the support of the community and of his former wife, the judge and the justice system get a fail. The only moral to be learned here is that if you just confess to doing something horrible, maybe even an average attorney can help you get away with lower punishment.

The first attempt died quickly after a motion to remove him wasn’t seconded. Now the board seems to be moving forward with plans on this second try. While some members agreed that there were problems Stegeman wasn’t addressing, they mostly thought he was doing the best he could do in the situation. Many on the board are still hesitant to bring the matter up, and some like Stegeman himself won’t raise the topic at all in meetings. For not pulling the trigger the first time and turning a continuous blind eye to the fact that Stegeman neither commands nor receives any respect from the community at large, the entire TUSD Governing Board earns an incomplete. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat opinions board and written by one of its members.

mailbag If Tea Party sits down, who will stand up? If the original Tea Party had taken Joshua Segall’s advice to “back away from the spotlight,” the American Revolution would never have happened. He denigrates Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann for “verbal slip-ups” and “blatant lack of knowledge on popular issues.” Why won’t he apply those same standards to President (Barack) Obama, who has said we have 57 states and insults our military by not being able to correctly pronounce “corpsmen?” He pings on Michele Bachmann for “crediting herself with things she has done and lacks solutions to the problems we face today.” And we know what happens when the Teleprompterin-Chief tries to speak without one. Compared to our megalomaniac President, Michele Bachmann is the most humble person on earth. Barack Obama was handed the Nobel Prize after just eight months in office, and was egotistical enough to actually accept it. For doing what? He took credit for bagging Osama bin Laden, when all he did was say “go.” And speaking of lacking solutions to the problems we face today, I’d ask Mr. Segall to name one area of our economy, government or society that is measurably better off than before Barack Obama took office. Mr. Segall correctly identifies the Tea Party’s key principles: fiscal responsibility, limited government and free markets, all of which Barack Obama has demonstrated opposition to throughout his term. If the Tea Party backs off, who’s going to pick up the battle cry? — Dana Cooper Account Executive, Arizona Sports Marketing

A
study in The Journal of Social Psychology has shown that gender equality in countries correlates with more sex. That’s red hot for feminism but lukewarm for young women. Does having more sex really mean women are equal to men? Around 50 years ago, a ticket to a woman’s bedroom would have been quite a present. It wasn’t expected. If you graduated from high school with your virginity intact, you weren’t a prude, you were a lady. Now, the value of the vagina is falling faster than the Dow. Talk about a great recession. Having sex doesn’t have to be a dirty little secret anymore, but it also doesn’t have to be tossed around like last week’s gossip. For all that men and women are equal and fighting for equality, people seem to be trying to blot out the fact that they are indeed different. Women are more emotional. Throwing up a brave front and pretending that you’re as detached as men about sex is a lie and a dumb one. The decision to get into bed is more than a want, more than a primal lust and more emotional. I’m not discounting men’s emotions, just pointing out that women worry a whole lot more about them before, during and after sex.
Keeping with the stock market analogy, the more there is of something, the less it’s worth. At the UA, there is about a 1:1 ratio for men to women, with slightly more women than men. That means the likelihood of snagging a partner is increased, and somehow sex became an expectation. I don’t know when that shift happened. When did just meeting someone, conversing and deciding to meet them again become cliche and old school? Sex on the third date was a pretty common theme I heard in high school. Then coming to college it was about who could score a girl that night, how many in a month, how many in a semester. This obsession with numbers became such a large part of conversations for both men and women. The rarer a thing is, the more value it has. I’m not saying we should all sprinkle holy water and proclaim newfound virginity, but maybe next time pause before you get into a cab with a guy and kiss him good night, meet again sober and actually experience the awesomeness that is having sex with someone you can look in the eye and snuggle with. Even if it’s only once. In one study, researchers found that on campuses where women outnumber men, women
are more negative about campus men, hold more negative views of their relationships, go on fewer dates, are less likely to have a boyfriend and receive less commitment in exchange for sex. Roy F. Baumeister of Florida State University and Kathleen D. Vohs from the University of British Columbia conducted the study. It’s basic supply and demand; women are the supply and men are the ones demanding. It’s easy to blame men for their sexual reputation as greedy bastards but let’s not forget that women still hold the supply. There’s too much of this “everyone’s doing it and if I don’t, then he won’t like me” attitude. You can’t complain about never having a boyfriend or going on fewer dates if you get in that cab after a few hours in a bar with a stranger. You bring it on yourself. Stop being the girl walking through campus in last night’s party dress and heels slung over her shoulder. If you like having casual sex (even if I think you’re lying to yourself), that’s fine. But please don’t let me hear you complain about how there are no nice guys on campus. It’s all about expectations. We lowered them from when we were kids. Once we were waiting for Prince Charming to whisk us away. Today he’s really hot, so that’s good enough. There’s no reason you can’t reverse that thinking. I’d bet a lot of men on campus could surprise you if you waited to see what a night with you is worth to them. (Hint: it’s probably more than three drinks and a one-way cab ride.) — Michelle Monroe is a journalism senior. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.
No third congressional seat, no suprise An independent redistricting committee is well into its incredibly difficult task of reshaping the Arizona congressional districts. Although final maps have not been drawn, and aren’t expected to be finished until some time in October, it is already becoming quite clear that Southern Arizona won’t be getting a third seat. Yet again, Southern Arizona will be neglected, and maintained at a mere two congressional seats. Now, there is no arguing that redistricting is a difficult task that requires countless hours of careful thought. It demands accurate knowledge of the population and an accurate count of the constituents therein. Districts can’t be crammed full of citizens while others are sparsely populated. It becomes pretty evident that if one district has 15,000 people in it, while another has only 5,000, there are about 10,000 people potentially being disenfranchised by unequal representation. When drawing lines, there is a demand that competitive districts be created and not gerry-

White House unveils new, streamlined business rules
ZonaZoo shirt gets redesign Tens of thousands of ZonaZoo members will have a new wildcat on their shirts — and more ways to get information about games. At the end of every year, ZonaZoo holds a contest with student designs, which are then voted on by students, to adorn each year’s shirt. Each member of ZonaZoo, which provides students with seating at various sporting events including football and basketball, gets a free shirt. This year, ZonaZoo directors got around 15 designs, about on par with how many they usually pull in, said Hillary Davidson, executive director of ZonaZoo. “It’s a student section run by students and we try to keep it all inhouse here,” Davidson said. Most people are surprised that students create the designs, Davidson said. But this group of student designers, she said, was “awesome and inventive” when working on their new designs. The competition is a great way for students to show off what they have learned in design classes or springboard toward new businesses, she said. But the new shirt isn’t the only thing ZonaZoo members will get with their front-row seats to see Nick Foles or Kyle Fogg. If students text “ZonaZoo” to 37392, they can get alerts about when students will be allowed to
wednesday, august
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is unveiling a slate of regulatory changes it says will cut government red tape and save businesses more than $10 billion over the next five years — and, the White House hopes, bolster its effort to promote job and economic growth. The plan includes about 500 changes aimed at saving businesses money in a variety of ways, such as consolidating their IRS paperwork, simplifying hazard warnings they must post for workers, and expediting payment to government contractors. The changes represent President Barack Obama’s answer to what has been a source of rising criticism of his term: that his regulatory reforms are more costly. Top advisers assert the Democratic president has shown more restraint in regulation than his Republican predecessor and promoted a commonsense approach. The administration estimates it imposed less-costly requirements on business in 2009 and 2010 than did the George W. Bush administration in 2007 and 2008. Obama has managed to “change the culture” of the regulatory system, said his regulation czar, Cass Sunstein, “by having openness to public concerns, by getting a sense of how rules are operating on the ground.” Business leaders and Republicans said the new plan contains smart ideas but doesn’t take on costly regulations that have been approved but not yet implemented. Obama has made things worse, critics contend, with a crackdown on the financial sector and with the rules that accompany his health care legislation. When all the regulations imposed in the first two years of Obama’s term are fully implemented, they will cost businesses roughly two-thirds the total expense from the rules generated in Bush’s eight years in office, said Diane Katz, a regulatory
policy research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in Washington. “It’s all relative,” Katz said. “It’s significant that this administration is acknowledging that regulatory costs matter. But are the savings they’re proposing significant? Not compared to the torrent of new regulations.” Big-ticket items among those new rules include the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act passed by Congress to regulate the nation’s financial services industry. The administration has stood by the increased regulation of Wall Street as prudent in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The issue of how much regulation is appropriate is already the subject of debate as all sides stake out economic positions for the 2012 presidential campaign. Obama is struggling to find ways to respond to the economic crisis at a time when his major initiatives are meeting stiff resistance from Republicans in Congress. In January, he ordered a top-tobottom review of existing federal regulations, telling agencies and departments to come up with ways they could cut red tape and streamline the many requirements the federal government imposes on businesses. The administration also solicited suggestions from the public. On Tuesday, Sunstein released the final plan, an 800-page document he said would “eliminate redundancy and inconsistency,” especially in the Labor and Transportation departments and the Environmental Protection Agency. The simpler warnings required by Labor are expected to save employers more than $2.5 billion over the next five years, according to administration projections. The streamlined tax forms of the IRS will save businesses an estimated 55 million staff hours in paperwork.
Sunstein said the plans “recognize that the regulatory look-back is not a one-time endeavor” and that such reviews will continue. The administration’s review was a “worthy effort” to get rid of duplicative and confusing regulations, said Bill Kovacs, senior vice president of Environment, Technology and Regulatory Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. But the effort is undermined by new regulations, he said. For example, farmers previously confused by conflicting water quality regulations from the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture now have more certainty about which regulations apply. But new regulations also have broadened the EPA’s authority over farm production. “It is always worthwhile to protect citizens from conflicting federal regulations,” Kovacs said. But “the agency has already dramatically expanded its control over the waters in the U.S.” House Republicans were less charitable to the Obama announcement, certain to become part of the president’s narrative about his efforts to spark the economy. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., called the plan “underwhelming.” Obama is expected to unveil a jobs plan shortly after Labor Day. The administration’s initiative drew a skeptical response from the National Federation of Independent Business, a conservative small-business group and leading critic of the new healthcare law. The law is designed to make it easier for small businesses to shop for health plans for their employees and it exempts businesses with fewer than 50 employees from a mandate that requires larger employers to provide health benefits starting in 2014. But a federation spokeswoman said the law will still be a paperwork burden for many businesses. “We have high hopes for the president’s job plan,” said Cynthia Magnuson, “but we don’t have a lot of confidence, given what we’ve seen. This regulation reform only adds to our concern.”

POLICE BEAT By Rebecca Rillos DAILY WILDCAT
Beer on the street, license from China, trouble in Tucson
A University of Arizona Police Department officer noticed a man sleeping on a bench near Fifth Street around 1 a.m. on Monday. The officer tried to wake the man to make sure he was all right. The officer noticed that the man had a cellphone and wallet on his lap while he was sleeping. He had to ask the man several times to wake up before the man started to move. The man smiled when the officer asked him if he was OK and identified himself. He said he was sleeping on the bench because his friend, who he was staying with, had a girl in his room. The man was slurring his words and had bloodshot eyes. When the officer asked how much he had had to drink, the man said, “A medium amount.” He said, “Random people on the street were just giving the beer away.” The man took out his wallet, removed an ID and gave the wallet to the officer. The officer asked to see the ID he took out and the man handed over the ID, which he said was a fake from China. He told the officer he did not want to answer any more questions because his mother was a lawyer and he knew his rights. The man was cited for minor in possession and possession of a fictitious driver’s license.
Only drinking Gatorade … with a twist
UAPD officers responded to a call on First Avenue and Vine Street about possible underage drinking at around 1 a.m. on Friday. The officers responded to the area where they observed two men walking unsteadily. The officers approached the men and could smell alcohol on their breath. The men identified themselves with their CatCards. One of the men admitted to drinking five beers in his dorm room but would not say how he got them. He had watery eyes and slurred speech. The man agreed to a Breathalyzer test and was cited for minor in possession. The officers asked the second man if he had been drinking and he replied that no, the only thing he drank recently was Gatorade. The officer asked if the Gatorade had alcohol in it and the man said yes. He admitted to having three to four sips of the Gatorade with an unknown alcohol in it. The man also agreed to a Breathalyzer test and was cited for minor in possession.
No slack for lack of backpack
A UAPD officer responded to a report of larceny at the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage on Friday evening. A garage employee reported her backpack had been stolen the day before from the northeast vehicle entrance of the garage, where she had left it unattended. The woman said her house and car keys and Arizona identification card were in the backpack. There were no other valuable objects in the backpack, she said. The officer advised her to change her home locks and to file a Victim’s Rights form. There were no video cameras at that location and there are no suspects at this time.
Bungled burglary
An unknown person attempted to enter the Environmental Research Facility between Thursday and Friday by removing the door hinge pins. The person was unable to enter the facility and there was no permanent damage. An employee of the facility contacted UAPD and said he and his co-workers found the hinge pins around 8 a.m. on Friday. Due to the locks on the doors, however, no one had entered the facility. Nothing was missing from the facility.

UA School of Music Schedule Offers selections for Fall By Joe Dusbabek Daily Wildcat
The UA’s School of Music offers hundreds of concerts and recitals among its array of showings this year. Changes in administration at the school have changed the school from the top down. This includes Rex A. Woods as the new director, Bruce Chamberlain as assistant director for student services, Edward Reid as assistant director for advancement and development, and John Brobeck, director of graduate studies. With dozens of events on the calendar this semester, the Daily Wildcat pulled three for the fall to showcase what the school has to offer from now to winter break.
September:
October:
November:
Get your inner patriot on at the School of Music’s Constitution Day Concert at Holsclaw Hall, where the School of Music celebrates an obscure holiday which in turn celebrates a not-so-obscure legal document. Co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of American Ideals and Culture and the Jack Miller Center, the event will feature readings and performances by faculty and guest artists. The show will focus on important messages contained in the U.S. Constitution, as well as other American ideals the Founding Fathers bickered so much over. Just do everyone a favor and leave the powdered wigs at home.
Coachella not your style? Lollapalooza too far to walk to? Give A Bartók, Ligeti and Beaser Music + Festival a shot, and you might surprise yourself. It’s nothing close to modern pop music, but a whole week filled with symposiums, film and concerts galore isn’t anything to scoff at. Highlights include our very own UA Wind Ensemble along with the Arizona Symphony Orchestra, screenings of Stanley Kubrick movies such as “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “The Shining,” and faculty artist Kristin Dauphinais performing in a mezzosoprano concert. Even if classical music isn’t your personal idea of a great way to spend a weekend night between tough weeks in class, there are worse places you could manage to take a nap. If you manage to stay awake and enjoy, however, you’re in for one hell of a classy week.
I hope you like a good musical tragedy, because “The Consul” by Gian Carlo Menotti, put on by the UA Opera Theater with the Arizona Symphony Chamber Ensemble, fits the bill and then some. The basic storyline of the Pulitzer Prize-winning opera follows a man named John Sorel, whom circumstances force to leave his wife in order to save his own life and those of his close friends. His wife attempts to secure a visa to join him, but fails. You can see where that’s headed. A little bit of opera goes a long way, but if you’re the sappy type, “The Consul” might just pull out your inner heartbroken immigrant.

movie review
A vampire film that doesn’t suck or sparkle By Miranda Butler Daily Wildcat
Just when you think that American filmmakers couldn’t possibly make another vampire movie — they do. Arriving on the tail end of pop culture’s fanged feeding frenzy, “Fright Night” boasts the tagline: “You can’t run from evil when it lives next door.” From the commercials, “Fright Night” looks like a comedic lowbudget slasher film with about as much promise as the 2010 flop “Vampires Suck.” But thanks to a cast that includes Anton Yelchin (“Star Trek”), David Tennant (“Doctor Who”) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (“Kick-Ass”), this movie delivers a lot more than expected. In addition to its all-star nerd actors, Marti Noxon, a well-known producer from iconic television shows such as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Mad Men,” wrote the film. In the film, Charley Brewster (Yelchin) is a recovering nerd dealing with all the stereotypical issues of high-schoolers as he tries to make his way into the popular crowd. But along the way, he learns that his neighbor, Jerry (Colin Farrell), is a vampire. He must enlist the help of his geeky best friend, Ed (Mintz-Plasse), and
midori-drinking stage-illusionistturned-vampire-hunter Peter Vincent (Tennant) to save his mom (Toni Collette) and girlfriend (Imogen Poots) from Jerry’s lust for blood. Dripping with witty one-liners and rife with perfectly timed jokes, “Fright Night” is definitely hilarious — but not for the reasons you’d think. It’s not just another rip-off of the “Scary Movie” brand that tries way too hard to be funny. Instead, the film is a dark comedy that is both brilliantly self-
aware and hilariously cognizant of the culture in which it exists. With direct references to “Twilight” and indirect homages to “Buffy,” the film pokes fun at the blood-sucking vampireobsessed morbid curiosity running rampant in movie theaters today. “Fright Night” uses these preconceptions to take some typical movie conventions, and break all the right ones. Sure, there’s a brooding, black-haired, dark-clad vampire. But his name is Jerry and for a while it seems like all he really wants is a piece of Charley’s mom. “Fright Night” also follows the typical smalltown massacre scenario, but it’s a lot more believable since the film takes place in Las Vegas — where people have an excuse to sleep all day, stay out all night and disappear unexpectedly. Of course, it has a few cliche moments, and does have to walk in the shadow of a 1985 film by the same name. Overall, however, “Fright Night” does something that we haven’t seen in quite a while: It takes a vampirecentric story line and makes it shine. No sparkle necessary.

More Pottermore, please Beta version of new virtual world allows deeper peek into Potter By Jason Krell Daily Wildcat
Less than a month before “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” opened, the author of the series, J.K. Rowling, uploaded one of the most cryptic YouTube videos I’d ever seen. Thanks to it, though, Potter fans were riled up. No one knew what this “Pottermore” she spoke of was — probably something to do with more Potter — but everyone wanted to find out. Not me, though. I mean, I read the “Harry Potter” books when I was younger but stopped after high school, moving on to what I deemed as more mature material. It was not “my childhood” and I was even a bit glad to see it finally put to rest. But then Rowling had to go and beat her dead horse with this new “Pottermore” thing, which, at the time, I dismissed as nothing more than a way for her to milk more money out of her series since she had nothing else to write about. But as more details surfaced, I kept getting pulled back to what Rowling claimed would be “an online reading experience unlike any other.” When it was announced a small amount of people would be allowed into the site early as beta testers, I decided I wanted to be one of them. Call me a sucker for exclusivity, but even if I didn’t have high expectations for Pottermore, I wanted to see what all the hype was about.
image courtesy of pottermore.com
Even after I answered the first of seven “Magic Quill” questions, which ultimately granted me and thousands of others early access, I still had no idea just what “Pottermore” was about. So, when I received an email on Aug. 15 saying that I was being let in, I hurried over to the site. I found a gray gate with seven symbols embedded in it. Only one was clickable — a yellow stone. The stone linked to “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” the first book’s reading experience. From there I was led to an overcast still screen of Privet Drive, the street that Dumbledore delivered a young Harry to after his parents were killed. I was told there were clickable items scattered throughout the screen, which I could
search for by shifting the picture’s focus. I went through the chapters, clicking random objects, which unlocked new background information about various facets of the Harry Potter world, and also gave me what were then useless items to add to my trunk. Eventually I earned my own wand and the Sorting Hat placed me into Ravenclaw. It may sound underwhelming, but covering the insane amount of detail in Pottermore’s experience related to book one would take the entire paper — and considering how little I expected out of it, “Pottermore” was inescapably interesting. Not only was it great to learn new information about, for example, Professor Minerva
McGonagall’s childhood and family, but it was oddly exciting to get a personalized wand and be officially placed in one of the four houses. What’s more, there are several mini-games scattered throughout the Pottermore world, including wizard duels and potion mixing that can earn you house points and help you win the House Cup, just like in the books. They’re easy to learn and bearable enough to play multiple times. Of course, the games are just gravy in the end. Keep in mind, this is just the first book. If Rowling adds half as much material for every other book, there will be days of new background to sift through by the time everything finishes. Fans will love Pottermore because it lets you immerse
yourself even more deeply in the world Rowling created, just as she claimed in her vague video, but anyone who appreciates writing will find it interesting as well. Being a writer myself, I love getting a peek inside of another author’s mind, especially one as successful as Rowling. It’s fascinating to see all the bits that ended up on the cutting room floor. There are still some problems with it, but that’s expected with a beta version. When it’s released to everyone in October, I highly recommend you register just to see everything for yourself. In the end, you might be like me and find your expectations far exceeded by this truly unique glimpse into the world of Harry Potter.

Leaving Sancet Stadium By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat
Named for a man who won 831 games as a head coach at Arizona, Frank Sancet Stadium has been one of the more recognizable collegiate baseball stadiums in America since opening in 1967. And after housing three national championship teams and dozens of All-Americans, Sancet is the kind of stadium that has a vibe — similar to Yankee Stadium or Notre Dame Stadium — where you can easily envision or feel some of the game’s best players mastering their traits, even though the stadium is empty. Nonetheless, Arizona baseball is moving on to Hi Corbett Field, from which the City of Tucson approved a letter of intent two weeks ago that asked for the Wildcats’ baseball team to move into the old pro ballpark. “There’s a lot of emotion involved in this, a lot of unbelievably great memories,” head coach Andy Lopez said. For the past several years, Sancet Stadium has been empty with the exception often less than a thousand fans who make it out each night to spend a few hours in the old, worn-down stadium that sits on the corner of Sixth Street and National Championship Drive. As Arizona is realizing, sometimes history isn’t enough to make up for other shortcomings, and this is one of those times. No matter the charm or aura that surrounds Sancet Stadium, people just weren’t showing up, the facilities were falling behind and Arizona wasn’t producing on the field.

Sancet Stadium, the home to the Arizona baseball team, will lose the Wildcats to Hi Corbett Field. Because of low attendance numbers and the opportunity to sell alcoholic beverages at Hi Corbett, even traditionalist Wildcat fans view the move as one with potential to raise the team’s profile in recruiting and stature.

Picked 7th in Pac-12, volleyball motivated By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
When Tennessee Hall of Fame head coach Pat Summitt announced Monday that she had been diagnosed with early-onset dementia during the summer, the news hit not only in Knoxville, Tenn., but across the women’s basketball world. At Arizona, the news was especially concerning to women’s basketball head coach Niya Butts, who played four years under Summitt as a Lady Volunteer and won two NCAA National Titles for the alltime winningest NCAA coach. “When you think about women’s basketball, it’s hard to think about it as a whole without thinking about Pat Summitt,” Butts said in a release from the school. “That’s just the way it is and she’s certainly worked hard and earned that right. “Now, to have not only one of the best coaches in the game, whether it’s men’s or women’s … you attach something with such a stigma to (her) such as dementia, you attach that to (her) and everybody takes a step back.” Diagnosed after the 2010-11 season, Summitt, 59, said she still plans to coach the Lady Vols this upcoming season and she’s already receiving treatment for the condition that could lead to Alzheimer’s, which

Just as coaches in the Pacific 10 Conference picked Arizona volleyball to finish in the conference last preseason, the newly-formed Pac-12 again chose the Wildcats to place seventh in 2011. The coaches didn’t battle it out for the top spot. Instead, they took a more civil approach and did an online poll, which didn’t allow them to choose their own team, head coach Dave Rubio explained. The poll had a point system, which created the final results. Rubio wasn’t surprised at the predicted outcome. “I kind of expected us to be (picked seventh),” Rubio said. “I wasn’t actually sure where they would put us, because everyone knows we graduated four starters from last year’s team. In some respects, I’m surprised they put us as high as they did.” The poll has USC taking the conference with its six returning starters and top libero. Last year, the Trojans were the national runner-up and third in the conference. Their placement in this year’s poll was a no-brainer, Rubio said. His personal poll reflected the official one.
2011 Pac-12 Women’s Volleyball Preseason Poll • USC (121) • California (105) • Washington (97) • Stanford (92) • UCLA (90) • Oregon (65) • Arizona (62) • Arizona State (48) • Oregon State (41) • Utah (38) • Colorado (18) • Washington State (15) “Actually the poll was exactly the way I had written and voted, with the exception of us, of course,” Rubio said. “I thought USC was the top-ranked team and I felt that Washington State would be the team that struggled the most.” While being seventh out of 12 teams is better than being seventh out of 10, it’s still worthy of being
called a slight. Sophomore libero Candace Nicholson wasn’t taken aback by the poll, but says it’s now a motivating factor. “Last year we finished sixth, so I feel like it’s probably not the best ranking, but for the most part I feel like we can improve,” Nicholson said. “We can definitely end up in the top five, but right now it’s a good starting place for us.” The team is inarguably young, with eight freshmen. Their youth most certainly played a role in their predicted outcome, Nicholson said. But the team is looking to put the youth talk to rest. “Our team has a reputation that we are going to be young and inexperienced,” Nicholson said. “I know, and it’s not just me, we all want to prove it wrong and we think that we can — we just need to practice.”

Run game thrives off versatility, options By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat
With a bevy of choices at the running back position for the Arizona football team, head coach Mike Stoops is not feeling the need to set his running back depth chart in stone quite yet. Coming into the season, it looked like Keola Antolin was set on taking the majority of carriers, but as the team started to develop throughout spring ball and preseason training camp, other options started to take shape. “Our run game is going to be way better than last year,” Antolin said. “Different blocking schemes and stuff.” With a restructuring of the run game in place, the Wildcats added freshmen four star recruit Ka’Deem Carey as well as returning sophomore Daniel Jenkins, both of whom create a much more dynamic backfield for the Arizona offense. “He’s a versatile player, man,” said Antolin about Carey, who ran for 69 yards on eight carries in Saturday’s scrimmage. “He can juke, run people over; he’s an all-around back.”
For Carey, it’s been a tough transition but he’s confident that he and his teammates will be able to play at the level they have been come game time, and he plans on continuing working hard to see some action. That could be a lot or a little behind Antolin and Jenkins on the depth chart, but Carey said he’s practicing to improve his blocking skills to be ready should his name be called. His running game, after all, seems to be college football ready. “Whatever the coaches say,” he said. “The coaches know it best. If I’m ready to play, I’m ready to play.”
Frosh corner Johnson learning quickly
For Cortez Johnson, the UA was first and foremost a basketball school, but after Stoops invited him on a recruiting trip, the freshman from New Orleans found a perfect fit for himself in Tucson. As a highly-touted cornerback from O. Perry Walker High School, Johnson, who received first team defensive all-state honors from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association
his senior year, joins Trevin Wade and Robert Golden as a legitimate option for defensive coordinator Tim Kish’s secondary scheme. As a product of The Big Easy, Johnson never had a lack of football exposure during his youth, and he said his experiences watching LSU is partly what drove him to Arizona. “LSU, they’re a great school,” Johnson said, “but I felt like Arizona was better. When I came here, I felt like we were a family.” That family dynamic is what sold him on Arizona, but his prominent role as a member of the defense wasn’t given to him overnight. “I didn’t really have that confidence (when I arrived) because I was new to this,” Johnson said. “As the days go on, I get more and more confidence by Rob Golden and Trevin Wade teaching me a lot.” His philosophy on maintaining and progressing is simple, but effective. “Just be yourself, just play your Mike christy/ Arizona Daily Wildcat game,” he said. “When Coach is looking at you, don’t do more than Running back Keola Antolin bounces to the outside against Oregon State on Oct. 9, football, 13
2010. From a year ago, he and his fellow backs believe they’ve improved as a unit.

Gordon Bates/ Daily Wildcat
Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio, above, isn’t worried by the Pac-12 coaching poll giving the Wildcats a seventh-place finish in the league for 2011.
scrimmage was senior middle-blocker Cursty Jackson, Rubio said. “Cursty was a man amongst boys,” Rubio said. “She looked terrific.” Jackson led the team with 17 kills and only three errors, creating a team-high .519 hitting percentage.
Right behind Jackson with 16 kills was freshman outside hitter Madison Kingdon, who also had eight digs throughout the scrimmage. As for the other 25 percent of the team’s grade? “Our setting was average and our attacking on the pins can get a whole lot better,” Rubio said. M

How Nevin Shapiro infiltrated Miami Mcclatchy tribune
game, scoreboard recognition at Sun Life Stadium, four VIP hospitality passes, and a diamond lapel pin, among other things. That, in a nutshell, is how Shapiro, a rogue Hurricanes booster later imprisoned for a $930 million Ponzi scheme, began to infiltrate the inner sanctum of the Hurricane athletic department a decade ago. Before long, he claims, he was a Hurricane sugar daddy, hosting players, and even some coaches, at salacious parties on his $1.5 million yacht, in his $6 million waterfront mansion, and in the VIP rooms at South Beach’s hottest clubs. He says he showered his favorite football players with fancy suits, jewelry, TV sets, cash, and prostitutes. Shapiro is at the center of a scandal that has smeared the

MIAMI — When Nevin Shapiro pledged $150,000 to the University of Miami athletic department, he got a student-athlete lounge named after him. But the bigger perk was access to the football players he idolized, the stadium sideline, the coaches, even the team plane. Big-time college sports rely on boosters to bankroll escalating coaches’ salaries and ever-expanding facilities, and those donors sometimes think of themselves as partowners of the team. Anybody who donates $30,000 or more annually becomes a member of the University Club and is promised interaction with a studentathlete, two pregame football sideline passes, travel for two on the team charter to a road

players competed on both teams. The scrimmage not only served as a debut of the team’s talent, but also a tool for Rubio to create his starting line-up. To him, the scrimmage play was average. “I gave us a C-plus and I think for us to be a top team in the conference, you need to be a B-plus,” Rubio said. “We’re not close to being where we need to be to be a top-level team. The good news is I feel like we’ve got the talent to be a top-level team. The question is can we develop the talent fast enough to make a difference before the season ends?” Rubio’s grade implies roughly 75 percent of the scrimmage was good. According to Rubio, that percentage included the team’s serving, serve receive and overall ball-handling. The standout player of the

Miami program just when things were looking bright, rocked the campus and alumni base, and resurrected Miami Vice headlines around the country. If the allegations are true, it threatens to severely hurt — if not completely destroy — one of the nation’s most successful athletic departments. Under the current NCAA system, is it really possible to control booster behavior and monitor athletes off-campus? «Yes, absolutely, this kind of behavior can be controlled, but it requires hyper-vigilance and a zero-tolerance approach,» said Donna Lopiano, who spent 18 years as the athletic director for women’s sports at the University of Texas, and now runs a consulting firm that helps sports organizations solve integrity and growth challenges.

to make sure that it made a lot of sense in every aspect possible.” And it’s a decision that couldn’t make more sense. Revenue from slightly raised ticket prices and increased concession income due to the sale of beer — though only for the first five innings of each game — will do more than offset the $250,000-per-year lease that the UA will pay to the city. Couple that with better facilities that will lead to better recruiting and on-field results, and the decision to leave Sancet Stadium might as well have made itself. “In terms of a pure baseball facility, I would say it’s in the top-three (on the West Coast),” Lopez said. “From a baseball coach’s perspective … the amenities are for the bigleaguers.” So when the opportunity presented itself last spring to explore moving the baseball team to what was once a Major League-caliber facility, it was a no-brainer.
Drawing a crowd
Not everyone was in support of moving the Arizona baseball team off campus, but perhaps the biggest reason for making the switch is to lure more people

to Arizona baseball games. Crowds the last several years have been almost non-existent save for the occasional game against ASU. So while a few fans may gripe about the stadium’s off-campus location, the reality is that the beer could bring more revenue and more fans. But if UA alumnus and frequent front-row fan Kevin Wos was able to move past his initial issues with the move, anyone should be able to. “I really enjoyed my experiences at Sancet Stadium,” Wos said. “But I also think that Hi Corbett is a really nice stadium and the baseball team should do what’s best for the athletic department.” That’s the thing that Arizona fans may realize about the move — it’s clearly the best thing for the athletic department. The saying goes that if it’s not broke, then don’t fix it, and Byrne’s decision comes from the basis that something is indeed awry. And he made that decision it as quickly as possible. He admits that as nice as a renovated Hi Corbett Field may be, tickets aren’t going to sell themselves. “It’s going to be up to us to do what we can to market the program,” Byrne said. “That’s always been the case … we have a lot of confidence in our fan base that they’ll be here supporting the baseball program going forward.”

depth chart, Stoops said there’s still a long ways to go to having a secure set of starters on offense, defense and special teams. “I think we’re getting closer on both sides of the ball,” Stoops said. “Just trying to get 11 on both sides, 22, that’d be a bonus. We’re getting closer.” The biggest question was who will win the placekicker battle. Last year’s starter, Alex Zendejas has struggled with consistency, allowing junior college transfer Jaime Salazar to slide into the starting spot. Salazar saw the first two kicks in Saturday’s spring game, but neither he nor Zendejas has separated themselves because of consistency issues. “Right now, we’re still competing,” Stoops said. “Jaime moved ahead of

Alex right now, but we’ll continue to compete as we go through. “I think you have to have a reliable kicker,” he added. “It just makes your offense do things in the redzone. You’ve got to have three points when you get down there. Right now, it’s too inconsistent.” Meanwhile, Stoops said the kickoff return duties could go to speedster Garic Wharton or Carey, while cornerback Jonathan McKnight and receiver David Douglas could see time returning punts. As for nickel packages, Stoops said a decision hasn’t been made but summer camp standout and redshirt freshman Jourdon Grandon has returned to practice after suffering a sprained knee a few weeks ago.

Overheard on campus
Ross Barbour, original member of the Four Freshman, dies at 82 Mcclatchy tribune
LOS ANGELES – Ross Barbour, the last surviving original member of the Four Freshmen, the influential close-harmony vocal quartet that came to fame in the 1950s with hits such as «Graduation Day,» has died. He was 82. Barbour, who had lung cancer, died Saturday at his home in Simi Valley, Calif., said Dina Roth, the current group’s personal manager. Barbour’s death came three months after that of another founding member, his cousin Bob Flanigan, the original lead singer. The two other founding members were Barbour’s brother, Don, and Hal Kratzsch. The Barbour brothers and Kratzsch were students at Butler University’s Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music in Indianapolis when they teamed with fellow student Marvin Pruitt to form a barbershop quartet called
Hal’s Harmonizers. When Pruitt dropped out because of stage fright, he was replaced by Flanigan. By then, the quartet had taken on a more jazz-oriented flavor and a new name, the Toppers. A self-contained vocal-instrumental group — they all played instruments, with baritone Ross Barbour on drums — they were renamed by an agent. As the Four Freshmen, they played their first date in a club in Fort Wayne, Ind., in September 1948. «Ross always used to say they were trying to get the sound of five voices with only four, and since they were so inspired by the Stan Kenton Orchestra and especially the trombone section, they were trying to sound like the instruments,» said Vince Johnson, who joined the Four Freshmen in 1999 on Monday. «When the first tenor went up, the three other voices would stay either in the middle or lower register and sing full volume, which
would create that open harmony,» Johnson said. «It was very characteristic of the Four Freshman sound.» The group’s big break came after Kenton heard them sing in the Esquire Lounge in Dayton, Ohio, in 1950 and arranged to have Capitol Records record them. After two flop singles, the Four Freshmen scored a hit in 1952 with «It’s a Blue World.» Other hits followed, including «Mood Indigo,» «Day by Day,» «It Happened Once Before» and «How Can I Tell Her?» Their 1956 hit «Graduation Day» was later covered by the Beach Boys, whose Brian Wilson has referred to the Four Freshmen as his «harmonic education.» Indeed, the Four Freshmen’s innovative four-part harmonies influenced not only the Beach Boys but the Lettermen, the Four Preps, the Manhattan Transfer and many other vocal groups.
