Artist Ross Demma draws a picture of Batman to raise money for an event at Heroes and Villains, a local comic book store. Fourteen other artists also contributed pieces, and proceeds from the event went to The New Venture Fund, a charity that supports the victims of the Aurora, Colo. shooting.

Without the accent, some may never guess that UA Provost Andrew Comrie was from another continent. The Cape Town, South Africa native, who will also serve as senior vice president of academic affairs, was appointed

by President Hart last week.

Comrie, a climatology expert, has worked at the UA for the past 20 years in the School of Geography and Development, and most recently served as the associate vice president for research and dean of the graduate college.

As for the recent appointment, Comrie said he appreciates the support and recognition.

“It’s obviously a big honor to be recognized by not just the president as a new leader here, but frankly just having a lot of support from my peers,” Comrie said. “More importantly, it’s really a great opportunity to do stuff I really believe in.”

He added that, as a professor or researcher, it’s nice to observe students discover what career they want to pursue. As a provost overseeing a number of different colleges, Comrie said he’ll be able to see that happen much more often.

Even with the new responsibilities, Comrie still has plans to continue his research in climatology and is will continue working with several students in the department.

“Once you’ve studied something and become an expert in it, you never lose that,” he added.

In regards to goals for his upcoming term, Comrie said he plans to prioritize the basics, like class availability and ensuring that assigned classrooms are large enough to hold the number of students enrolled in the course. While he admits such issues aren’t “particularly exciting-sounding,” Comrie said they are important in the long run.

Dems choose Latino mayor as keynote speaker Mcclatchy tribune

LOS ANGELES — A 37-year-old Latino mayor and rising star in Texas politics will deliver the keynote speech on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, the organizing committee said Tuesday.

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro will speak at the convention in Charlotte, N.C., on Sept. 4, a choice likely aimed at rallying the country’s Latino voters. First lady Michelle Obama will also speak on opening night, said L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who chairs the convention committee.

“Having both the first lady and Mayor Castro speak on the opening night of our convention will bring together two incredible leaders whose life stories both embody

the promise of America, that if you work hard and play by the rules, you can make it,” Villaraigosa said in a statement.

Castro is in his second term as mayor of San Antonio, which is the seventh-largest city in the nation. He is a twin who was raised by a single mother, attended public schools, and went to Stanford for his bachelor’s degree and then on to Harvard for law school. His twin brother, Joaquin Castro, is running for Congress in Texas’ 20th District. Both brothers are seen as upand-comers in Latino Democratic circles.

In 2004, a relatively unknown Sen. Barack Obama gave a keynote address on the second night of the convention. The speech, which emphasized racial and political reconciliation, helped vault him

onto the national political stage.

This speech could do the same for Castro, but the selection is likely more focused on heightening enthusiasm among Latino voters. He’s the first Latino to keynote a Democratic convention speech.

In a speech posted on YouTube, Castro referred to Obama’s 2004 convention speech and their shared humble beginnings.

“I know I’ve got some big shoes to fill,” he said. “I remember watching his speech in 2004 and being inspired. When Obama talked about the audacity of hope, I thought back to my mother saying that if you didn’t like the ways things were, you could dare to change them.”

In the video, Castro praises Obama’s

health care bill as well as his efforts to bring troops home and find jobs for veterans. He mentions Obama’s bailout of the auto industry and criticizes Romney by name for opposing the bailout. He ends his speech with a Spanish phrase, “Estamos unidos,” which means “We are united.”

The committee has also announced that former President Bill Clinton will speak at the convention Wednesday night, a triumphant return for a politician who was speaking against Obama last time around.

He’ll speak after Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard professor who helped create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She is running against Republican Scott Brown in a tight Massachusetts Senate race.

High school girls push for woman moderator in presidential debates Mcclatchy tribune

WASHINGTON — For 20 years, only men have moderated presidential debates. On Tuesday, three high school girls demanded a change. “We’ve never seen a woman on that stage,” said Sammi Siegel, 15. “It’s been men all my life, so how am I supposed to feel about myself when I’m being told that only men can do this?”

The three — Siegel, Emma Axelrod, 16, and Elena Tsemberis, also 16 — came to Washington from their hometown of Montclair, N.J., on Tuesday to petition the Commission on Presidential Debates to select a female moderator for one of the debates this fall between President Barack Obama and Republican

challenger Mitt Romney. Since starting an online petition in late May as a project in their civics class, the girls have amassed 170,000 signatures.

Alan Schroeder, a professor at the School of Journalism at Northeastern University in Boston and a presidential debates expert, said it looks likely that the commission will choose a female moderator thanks in part to the petition. The commission will announce its choices for moderators in August. In 1992, ABC’s Carole Simpson was a member of a panel that questioned the presidential candidates. Gwen Ifill of PBS moderated vice presidential debates in 2004 and 2008.

Axelrod said she recalled watching the news as a young child with her mother and remarking on the types of women she saw on the screen. They were younger and prettier than their male counterparts, she said. She asked her mother “why this disparity existed in daddy’s business,” she said Tuesday. Her mother replied: “In the TV business the women aren’t just there to tell a story; they’re also there to look good while doing it.” Her father is CBS reporter Jim Axelrod, who is not involved in the petition drive.

The girls say that a female moderator would be more inclined to raise issues that have been overlooked by male moderators, such as reproductive rights, contraceptives

and family planning.

Their online supporters agree. Tyneisha Harden from Columbus, Ohio, said in her online posting that she signed the petition because “this year’s presidential election is a critical one for women. Only a woman can honestly ask our candidates the questions that will impact our future.”

Schroeder said that the lack of female moderators would not necessarily impact the diversity of questions asked.

He added that the change in format of the presidential and vice presidential debates could account for the reason there hasn’t been more female representation in the last

SAYING GOOD NIGHT TO BUSINESS While streetcar construction slows traffic for dowtown nightclubs, the city provides proprietors with resources

By Stephanie Casanova ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

As streetcar construction continues throughout the downtown area, restaurants and bars are seeing a decline in business.

While some business owners are worried about having to close their locations, others continue to maintain a positive outlook and plan for the increased traffic the streetcar is expected to bring to the area.

Noël Chester, owner of The District Tavern on Congress Street between Fifth Avenue and Arizona Avenue said she’s “struggling to survive” through streetcar construction. Chester, who has been a downtown business owner for just over a decade, said the closing of Sharks nightclub is “horrendous” and streetcar construction has made downtown a “ghost town.”

“To lose that nightclub and that demographic of customers is really frightening,” Chester said.

Chester also said its Vaudeville Cabaret was supposed to close the doors due to construction, though she doesn’t have any details, as the cabaret’s business phone is temporarily disconnected. Kevin Ketchum, who was once partners with Chester, has owned the cabaret on his own for eight years now.

“I know that he Facebooked a statement and I know that he was planning on closing the month of July,” Chester said.

Regional Transportation Authority, a government entity approved by Pima County voters in 2006, has funded the MainStreet program to provide consulting to businesses along the streetcar corridor. Britton Dornquast, the program’s manager, said he understands the challenges business owners have to overcome during any construction.

“Noël is right in that construction’s not fun,” Dornquast said. “There is nothing that I could share that is an incredible redeeming factor whilst in the middle of construction.”

Dornquast opened Hear’s Music, an independent music store on Campbell Avenue, in 1991 after winning a business plan competition. During the 16 years the music store was in business, before losing his lease in 2007, Dornquast said he went through construction

With Tucson streetcar construction making its way downtown, businesses like The District Tavern struggle to keep customers coming back to maintain the busy nightlife it had months ago.

on Campbell Avenue and learned how it can affect a business.

“Some of the best things you can learn in business is through your failures,” he added.

The MainStreet program focuses on four key areas: outreach, construction meetings, direct consulting and resources. Business owners can use any or all of the program’s components at any time before, during or at the end of construction. The program offers confidential consultants to speak with owners, while its resource component includes a list of 2,500 online resources such as modules, workshops and personalized maps for businesses.

“We have yet to lose anybody (businesses) because of construction,” Dornquast said.

Chester said the consultants who have come in and talked to her are nice, but they can’t solve her problem.

“Consultants to tell you what?” she said.

“Spend more money on advertising when you’re making less? Put your money away after you just started making money since the last construction period?”

Dornquast said it is impossible to compensate businesses for their loss, as there are too

many factors that go into running a successful business. While construction does deter clientele, the economy, competition, advertising, planning and evolution in the industry are all factors that can make or break a business.

The District Tavern’s business is down almost 40 percent, according to Chester, who said she has been surrounded by fences since construction started.

Kade Mislinski, owner of Hub Restaurant and Creamery and Playground Bar and Lounge, has also noticed a change in downtown Tucson.

“The construction was a part of that evolution,” Mislinski said. “In our business model we planned for hard to get to and maybe less sales and that kind of stuff.”

Mislinski opened Hub in February 2011 and Playground a year later. Because his businesses are still young, Mislinski said he can’t accurately calculate his business loss. He said he has noticed a 20 to 30 percent business loss since he opened the restaurant, but remains optimistic for the streetcar’s opening.

“My experience has been pretty good,” Mislinski said. “I’m actually pretty impressed with

the schedule they’re keeping.”

Mislinski said he tries to keep a “positive spin” on his business and communicates with RTA consultants on a regular basis, and that there are over $100 million being invested in the four blocks around Hub and Playground.

The investment and the upcoming residences make him excited about the outcome of the project, he said, adding that plans to open a milkshake restaurant and small bar are in the works.

Mislinski, who hasn’t used any MainStreet Program resources, according to Dornquast, said he was taught to believe that the main reason a restaurant fails is because of bad management.

“I always look internal,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if a meteorite just went off in your alley … it’s your responsibility.”

Chester said, however, that she believes the streetcar is a waste of time and money and that construction is keeping people from coming west of Campbell Avenue and south of Speedway Boulevard.

“It just feels like they don’t want us here,” Chester said. “That seems to be the pink elephant in the room.”

US needs stricter assault weapon regulations

Michael Carolin Arizona Summer Wildcat

I

n the wake of the Aurora, Colo. tragedy, in which 12 were killed and 58 were wounded, we crave answers to our questions and demand solutions that might help stop these acts in the future.

After mass shootings such as this, the argument that arises is that our nation needs better gun control. Some critics of current gun control laws claim that the only way to prevent similar tragedies in the future is for the United States to make owning guns illegal altogether. On the other hand, conservative groups such as the National Rifle Association passionately argue that lifting gun regulations will allow good samaritans to stop potential shooters during an attack.

But neither of these stances on gun laws offer the solutions our country needs. The debates ignited from these tragedies evolve into polarized arguments that produce little to no progress. Instead, we should work on devising realistic measures that will make it more difficult for criminals to commit mass murder.

These criminals often carefully plan their crimes far in advance, and think of multiple ways to make their offenses possible. For example, Holmes knew enough about bombs to rig his entire apartment with complex explosives. Even if guns were illegal, what would have stopped him from using explosives rather than weapons to complete his goal? Rather than arguing over gun legality, we should start discussing the types of restrictions and policies that might actually improve this dire situation.

One possible law proposes that gun vendors should perform more thorough background checks on buyers.

The New York Times reported that Holmes was once a promising doctoral student in neuroscience with a clean criminal record apart from a speeding ticket. While neighbors and classmates described him as socially awkward, Holmes was deemed competent enough to legally own a weapon.

Thus, the Aurora shooting proved that background checks for purchasing weapons

are insufficient firewalls for preventing the irresponsible and potentially unstable from purchasing weapons. More often than not, these assailants have emotional or behavioral disorders that no one had detected prior to their gun purchases.

However, placing limitations on the kinds of firearms that are legal to own offers a much more sensible way of preventing mass murders. Holmes used an assault rifle with a 100-round drum magazine that could shoot 50 to 60 rounds per minute. It jammed in the attack, but if weapons like assault rifles were illegal as they were before 2004, lives could have been spared in this attack. They have an exclusive purpose to kill people in militant conflicts and as a result have no place in our day to day lives.

Likewise, when Jared Loughner opened fire at former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and a group of supporters last year, he used a 33-round clip that let him continue shooting without having to reload, preventing bystanders from retaliating and giving him more opportunities to shoot. Had extended clips been illegal, it’s likely that fewer victims would have been shot. Just like assault rifles, extended clips and other weapons and accessories are designed for use in armed combat. They go far beyond our right or need to bear arms.

Arguments over the Second Amendment’s validity in the modern age is not the way to abate mass murder. In 2008’s District of Columbia v. Heller case, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment still grants us a constitutional right to bear arms: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” It’s a right bestowed to us as a precaution, guaranteeing us the tools necessary to defend ourselves from any threat.

But as we continue to debate over gun legality, the calls for real and practical actions that could help reduce mass murders are muffled under the same disputes that hinder our progress. The potential for criminals to commit mass murders can only be reduced by enforcing stricter gun regulations in regards to assault weapons.

Mental illness on the rise in America

Max Efrein

Arizona Summer Wildcat

A

fter the mass murder that occurred in Aurora, Colo. on July 20, there is no avoiding the concerns regarding mental health in our society. Behind most seemingly unwarranted killings lies a premeditated agenda likely intensified by mental illness.

One in 17 Americans are diagnosed with a serious mental illness, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. According to the Washington Post, suspected 24-year old Aurora shooter James Holmes was seeing a university psychiatrist specializing in schizophrenia in the weeks before the attack. However, university officials decline to answer questions if these allegations are true.

If Holmes does suffer from schizophrenia, it would make sense, the mental disorder tends to develop in men during their teens and early 20’s, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

At the time of his arrest, Holmes allegedly told arresting officers that he was the Joker from Batman according to the Huffington Post. Police officers also stated that Holmes is claiming he does not know why he is in jail, according to the New York Daily News. Memory problems as well as acute amnesia have been known to be side effects of schizophrenia.

Much focus has been diverted to the now-revitalized debate concerning gun control in our country due to the Aurora shooting. Although this is a pertinent topic, tragedies such as this go far beyond gun regulation. As the commonly stated saying goes, guns don’t kill people, people do. If someone is determined enough to inflict harm on others, they will find a way.

Our country should start focusing on how to help these individuals before their delusions manifest and cause harm to innocent people or even themselves.

It is difficult to say what was the exact reason for Holmes’s alleged actions, but it would be difficult to believe

that someone could kill 12 people and injure 58 more without being mentally unstable.

Serious mental illness has no socioeconomic or intellectual boundary.

Thirty-nine percent of all homeless people in this country report some form of mental health problem — 20 to 25 percent of whom meet criteria for serious mental illness according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Holmes, on the other hand, came from an upper-middle class background and was a first-year doctoral student in a neuroscience program. It is vital to the safety of our nation’s citizens that steps are taken to evaluate the mental stability of everyone who resides within our system.

One of the most obvious ways to spot the mental instability of an individual is through relationships.

Family members, friends and neighbors need to be proactive in identifying and reporting abnormalities in behavior and encouraging them to seek help. It is not always so obvious when someone requires help, however. For those such as Holmes, who according to reports is very introverted, reclusive and independent, it is difficult to pick up identifiers that indicate a need for serious intervention.

To deal with this dilemma, mandatory health screenings from elementary all the way up to college age should be implemented. This is especially significant in our age, where it would appear that the number, as well as ferocity, of mass killings has been growing exponentially over time. There have been at least 26 shooting rampages in the past decade, as opposed to only 11 in the 1990s according to the New York Times. Compulsory health screenings are exactly the sort of preemptive approach that should be taken to stop this disturbing progression.

Implementing more mental health screenings might not cure the problem completely, but it could at least give those with mental illnesses a path to better health and hopefully limit these tragedies in the future. ­­— Max Efrien is a junior studying journalism and history.

Chick-fil-A announcement ruffles activists’ feathers Courtney L’Ecuyer ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

C

hick-fil-A is known for its waffle fries and buttery chicken sandwiches, but after owner Dan T. Cathy released a statement opposing same-sex marriage, consumers across the country and college campuses are choosing not to “eat more chikin.”

It’s no surprise that the Georgia-based company stands for conservative Christian values. The popular fast food chain is closed on Sundays, trains employees based on a Biblical model and has donated millions of dollars to religious organizations since it was founded in Hapeville, Ga. in 1946. In other words, most consumers know they are eating “Jesus chicken.”

However, a recent uproar of complaints have surfaced after the Baptist Press quoted Cathy on July 16 saying Chick-fil-A opposes same-sex marriage and that the generation that supports it has an ‘arrogant attitude.’

This was the first time Cathy publically announced his opposition to gay marriage, as he had previously refused to reveal a firm stance on the issue.

When confronted with the company’s

bold statements on marriage, Cathy responded, “guilty as charged.”

Chick-fil-A is valued at $4.5 billion according to PrivCo, a research firm.

Founder Samuel Truett Cathy and son Dan Cathy each own a third, making them worth $1.5 billion each. In 2011, researchers estimate the southern-style meals brought in $1.12 billion in revenue. In 2009 alone, the chain donated $7,814,788 to WinShape, an organization that funds seven conservative anti-same-sex marriage groups including the Marriage and Family Legacy Fund, Exodus International, Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council.

Private companies have the right to run their businesses as they see fit and everyone has their right to an opinion, no matter your sexual orientation or religious background.

In reality, Cathy can finance, support and state anything he believes. It’s his company after all, and it’s up to consumers to choose what they want to eat.

But the stark reality is that by making polarizing political statements Cathy has sacrificed much more than his reputation.

He has pushed his multi-billion dollar company to stand for controversial ideals that are unrelated to the product the company sells. Franchise holders, which include 97 percent of chains, who might not share his same views on marriage are now placed in a predicament. Employees at the more than 1,300 chains are burdened with

Francisco and ban the company.

Local LGBTQ advocacy groups such as Wingspan, one of Southern Arizona’s oldest non-profit organizations did not release a particular stance on the Chick-fil-A events, but commented on the unsafe environment it could potentially create.

“Any time leaders, be it at restaurants, organizations or individuals, communities or families take a strong stance on opposing the LBTGQ community, it causes the normalization of discrimination that can create a very unsafe environment for those people,” said Casey Chimneystar Condit, the acting director of programs.

The reactions of unhappy consumers and activists vary from boycotting the restaurant entirely, to frequenting the restaurant more often in an attempt to promote a diverse demographic rather than a purely conservative one, according to Condit.

But whatever repercussions Chickfil-A encounters, let it be an example that although Americans have the Constitutional right of freedom of expression, we should be careful how we use it. Companies can negatively affect businesses and consumers alike by imposing political agendas that aren’t related to the products they sell.

the notion that the company they work for may not approve of their sexual status or marital choices. And it has caused many members of the LGBTQ community, as well as straight allies, activists and students across the country to consider boycotting America’s tastiest chicken and waffle fries.

Recent Arizona graduate Matthew McCahill, who graduated in August with a degree in regional development and a minor in religious studies, expressed his discontent with the recent events saying that even though the company has the right to make its own financial choices, taking such a controversial stance hurts both consumers and the company’s business.

“There is a large LGBTQ population here at the University of Arizona and Tucson is an open and creative town. They’re selling a product, why do they feel the need to start talking about religious values?”

McCahill said that he, along with his family and friends, have boycotted the company for more than a year now and will continue to do so.

McCahill also expressed his frustration that a typically liberal and open-minded school such as the UA would continue to house Chick-fil-A in its union. The Arizona Student Union’s office was not available to comment on the issue, but after Cathy’s recent announcement, it is entirely possible that UA students will follow in the footsteps of cities such as Boston, Chicago and San

Police Beat

By Stephanie Lawson Arizona Summer Wildcat

All the fixin’s for a good time

A University of Arizona Police officer noticed a silver Hyundai displaying an expired temporary Arizona registration between Speedway Boulevard and Mountain Avenue on July 22 at 3:12 a.m. The officer pulled over the car in the Circle K parking lot on Park Avenue and Speedway Boulevard.

The officer approached the vehicle and informed the driver, a male UA student, that he was driving with an expired temporary registration. The student told the officer that he hadn’t renewed his registration because he didn’t have the money. The officer noted in the report that there was a strong odor of marijuana coming from the car. He asked the driver if there was any marijuana present and the student told the officer no.

The officer asked the driver and the passenger to step out of the vehicle to conduct a search. Another UAPD officer arrived on the scene to help conduct a search of the car. As the driver stepped out of the vehicle he informed them that both he and the passenger smoked marijuana earlier that day and the passenger’s pipe was in the car.

The officer began a search of the vehicle and found a pipe behind the driver’s seat as well as a Crown Royal-brand bag. The bag contained three pipes, a marijuana grinder and a silver container containing bags of marijuana and three lighters. Officers noted in the report that the passenger said he also used the bags to store cocaine, though there was no cocaine remaining in the bag.

Officers also found two scales in the back of the vehicle containing a residue.

Officers continued to search the vehicle and found three backpacks in the trunk containing five mason jars with a white powder on them. Also in the backpacks were several smoking pipes and other items covered in the white powder residue. One of the officers read the driver his Miranda rights and asked him why there were scales in his vehicle and if he was a drug dealer.

20 years. In 1996, a panel of journalists was replaced with a moderator. That year PBS’ Jim Lehrer moderated all three debates.

“The lack of diversity among moderators is not so much about a male-female divide,” he said. “It’s the fact that the moderators are always Washington broadcast journalists.”

Though the signatures have been sent electronically to the commission, the trio also tried to deliver boxes filled with printouts of those names to the commission Tuesday.

They were turned away for security reasons.

The driver responded, “I am not a drug dealer. Some drug dealers are shady so I use them (the scales) to check the weight when I buy.” The officer continued to ask if the drug paraphernalia belonged to the driver. The driver told the officer that they belong to different friends. It was noted in the report that the driver admitted to being a marijuana user since junior high school. Officers arrested the both vehicle occupants. The driver was cited for expired temporary registration over 45 days and possession of narcotic paraphernalia. The passenger was citied for possession of narcotic paraphernalia. Both suspects were released at the scene. The evidence from the scene was placed into UAPD Property and Evidence.

License from another desert, can’t drive in this one

UAPD conducted a traffic stop on Campbell Avenue and Sixth Street on July 23 at 2:20 a.m. Officers noticed a blue Honda in front of them driving with an expired temporary registration. Officers pulled the Honda over and approached the vehicle.

The officers informed the male driver that his temporary registration had expired. The suspect replied, “This is my friend’s car who is currently in Saudi Arabia.” Officers asked for identification and the suspect gave the officer his Arizona ID card and his Saudi Arabian driver’s license. A records check was performed and officers discovered that the suspect’s driving privileges in Arizona had been suspended. Also, the suspect had a confirmed misdemeanor arrest warrant from the Tucson Police Department. Officers arrested the suspect and cited him for driving with a suspended license. It was noted in the report that before officers placed the suspect in Pima County Jail, he asked UAPD to call his embassy. It was confirmed through dispatch that there did not need to be any notification to the embassy.

The suspect was booked in to Pima County Jail and the car was impounded.

The girls took their campaign to the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee as well Tuesday, calling on Obama and Romney to acknowledge the need for a female moderator in this year’s presidential debate. The two major party candidates have to approve debate moderators recommended by the commission.

AZ lawmaker’s bill to restrict abortions in D.C. fails in the House Mcclatchy tribune

WASHINGTON — A bill by Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., to ban abortions in the District of Columbia after 20 weeks of pregnancy failed to get the two-thirds majority needed to pass the House on Tuesday.

The House voted 220-154 for the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, well shy of the 250 votes needed to make up the two-thirds of those present to pass.

It is the second such defeat this summer for Franks. In May, his bill that would have outlawed abortions based on the race or gender of a fetus was supported 246-168 but was also shy of the 276 votes needed to pass as a special measure.

The latest bill faced sharp criticism from Democrats, who accused supporters of meddling in the city’s affairs and using the D.C. bill to win favor with anti-abortion groups.

“The bill has no provision whatsoever for a woman that has been the victim of rape or incest,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., who said that a girl who was a victim of incest could conceivably be compelled to “bear her sibling.”

Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., called the bill “a direct assault” on Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision recognizing a woman’s right to have an abortion.

But supporters said the bill is needed to protect the rights of unborn children and to spare them from the pain that they argued a fetus can feel at 20 weeks.

“Unborn children can feel pain,” Franks said, adding that his opponents don’t want to admit that.

“It is barbaric in the purest sense of the word,” he said of abortions after 20 weeks.

The vote split largely along party lines, with 17 Democrats voting for it and six Republicans voting against it.

The bill would have made it a crime to perform or attempt to perform an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, unless the mother’s life was in danger. Anyone who violated the law

would have faced fines and up to two years in prison.

The measure also would have allowed anyone who had been a woman’s health provider to seek an injunction to block an abortion, which opponents said would have let a school nurse or a woman’s childhood pediatrician step in to block the procedure.

“This bill does not even have an exception to protect a woman’s health,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. But Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said the most common type of abortion after 20 weeks “includes dismemberment of a fragile child’s body.”

Franks said “little babies” were being “tortured” and that, “a child can be aborted in labor” in the district, which is why Congress needed to act.

He has said in the past that the district had repealed all its abortion legislation, which is why his was needed now. Passage of the bill, he said, would “at least demonstrate to the world that we still have a conscience.”

But the district’s nonvoting member of Congress accused supporters of interfering with local government by forcing a law on the city that it did not want. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., said she thought that Republicans believed in “local government, no federal interference.”

“If you believe that, you can’t pull it back only when it comes to the District of Columbia,” said Norton, who has accused Franks of being a “bully” with the district.

Norton and others asked the supporters why, if the bill was so important, they were limiting it only to the district.

The House vote comes just days before a similar Arizona law is set to take effect. A federal district court this week refused to block Arizona HB 2036, which would restrict abortions after 20 weeks, among other provisions.

But opponents have vowed more legal challenges to the law, which could take effect this week, according to published reports.

Rodriguez and Scott out to change perception of spread attack

By Cameron Moon Arizona Summer Wildcat

The shotgun spread-option offense has taken college football by storm in recent years, with teams like Auburn and Florida winning national championships while using the system.

Most importantly, West Virginia, Michigan and now Arizona have run some variation of the offense under head coach Rich Rodriguez.

The spread-option offense, in which quarterback Matt Scott will almost never take snaps from under center and rarely huddle the team, relies on speed and matchup problems for success.

Teams who use the spread are often quick to score, and the top five scoring teams in the country a season ago (Houston, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Baylor and Boise State) all run some form of the spread.

The problem with the spread is that professional football teams still do not see it as a viable option.

“I’m biased, I think it can fit anywhere, and I think schemes are sometimes overrated from the standpoint of, ‘Does a scheme win you ballgames or lose you ballgames?’” Rodriguez said last Tuesday at Pac-12 Media Day. “I think you have to have good players executing and I think what we do is a good fit in this league and I think it does, but I think it’s a good fit in any league.”

Rodriguez cited the successes of the New

Matt Scott, left, who wore No. 4 prior to this season, will now wear No. 10. Scott redshirted last season, but is poised to lead Arizona’s spread-option attack, designed by head coach Rich Rodriguez, right, who was hired in December.

England Patriots and last year’s Denver Broncos, who were led by former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, as teams that have used a system similar to his and been able to make it to the playoffs, although NFL defenses are much faster and are going to be able to stop a “gimmicky offense,” detractors say.

“They try to use it against you in recruiting,” Rodriguez said. “The last time I watched the NFL games, 90 percent of the time they’re in shotgun. Quarterbacks are drafted because they can play, not because of what system you come out of. Maybe the new pro style is the shotgun spread.”

Rodriguez, who was unsuccessful at Michigan, his last coaching job, in part because the fanbase, boosters and athletic program were not used to seeing a spread attack, will try to change the perception of his system at Arizona, with the help of Scott. “(Having Scott) allows us to do more of what we want to do offensively,” Rodriguez said. You don’t have to alter your playbook as much, but we won’t do the same things as (Michigan senior quarterback) Denard (Robinson) and (former West Virgina quarterback) Pat (White).

A lot of things we want to do in our offense, Matt can do.”

Scott has played in a similar system to Rodriguez’s in high school, where he flourished as a runner and a passer. Scott threw for 2,479 yards and touchdowns completing 61 percent of his passes, while rushing for another 1,099 yards on 131 carries, 13 of which were scoring runs in his senior season.

“I couldn’t ask for anything more,” Scott said. “This is the offense that fits me and I think I can thrive in it.”

The offense works well for Scott and bodes well for the success of the Wildcats not because of the minutiae and details of running the system, but because of its simplicity.

“There’s not a whole lot to think about, where do I signal him, what do I tell the O-line.

It’s just so much simpler,” Scott said. “It’s a lot of the same terminology; that’s why it was easy for me to pick up. When you simplify it, you can really go out and play the game without thinking too much.”

Pac-12 Network days away from launching seven channels, digital platform

By Cameron Moon Arizona Summer Wildcat

The Pac-12 is 15 days from launching its new network, commissioner Larry Scott announced at Pac-12 Media Day last Tuesday.

The network will be comprised of one national network and six regional networks that will be dedicated solely to Pac-12 sports. The league will also launch a digital network that will be accessible to fans via the web, mobile devices, televisions with Internet connections and gaming consoles.

“The idea is Pac-12 content, anywhere, anytime, by any device,” Scott said. “This is going to be a major innovation and a new and exciting development in the world of college sports, the first conference to completely own and control its own network.”

Starting August 15, the entire country will be able to see Pac-12 sporting events on a regular basis, something that the SEC already accomplished with their own conference network,

which is run by ESPN, as well as the University of Texas’ Longhorn Network.

The elevation in exposure gives fans more access to their favorite teams, while providing potential players with the incentive of playing on television which will aid coaches in recruiting.

For example, every Pac-12 team will be featured at least once on the Pac-12 Network through the first four weeks of the football season, with Arizona starring when the Wildcats take on Oklahoma State and South Carolina State on September 8 and 15, respectively.

“The launching of the linear TV networks and the digital networks means more live sports, more Pac-12 championships, and connecting fans with their favorite teams,” Scott said. “The impact on our universities and student-athletes will be great.”

At Media Day, Gary Stevenson, the Chief Executive of Pac-12 Media Enterprises, announced the lineup of shows and current on-air talent. In addition to the conference champion-

ship game to be played in December, “Pac-12 Football Encore” will replay the top 10 games from the 2011 season.

In addition, all 79 home games from last season will be replayed in 60-minute formats. The network plans on having the pregame, halftime and postgame shows for regular season games broadcast from their studios in downtown San Francisco, Calif.

In the spring, the network will be sending crews to every Pac-12 campus to document and follow spring football.

“It will be a busy year for us, and we are delighted,” Stevenson said. “Our talent will go a long way in branding our network, so we searched high and low to find the professionals who have lived and experienced our brand over their careers.”

Only one member of the on-air talent is an Arizona alumnus: Glenn Parker was an AllPac-10 lineman in 1989 before being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the third round of the 1990 NFL Draft.

HEROES FOR COLORADO

Local comic store Heroes and Villains holds charity event for victims of Colorado tragedy

By Morgan Toone ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Various organizations across the country, with the help of Warner Bros. Entertainment, have raised nearly $2 million to help the victims of the July 20 shooting in Aurora, Colo. In Tucson, local comic book store Heroes and Villains has made a conscious effort to help the victims — and spread the heroic morals that Batman embodies — by holding an all-day charity event Wednesday.

Fourteen notable artists offered Batman sketches at the event in exchange for $10 donations to The New Venture Fund, an organization dedicated to helping victims of the shooting, as well as their families and other members of the community. The donations will help pay for medical and hospital bills, while some of the proceeds will go directly to the victims.

Before the event even started, Heroes and Villains had received $300 in donations by phone. Calls came in not only locally but from fans as far as Hawaii, Australia, and London. Those who attended the event could purchase $2 memorial ribbons, as well as various comic collectibles. By the end of the day, the store had raised $2,590.

The event was created by Eric Esquivel, the marketing specialist at Heroes and Villains, who reached out to the comic community and received tremendous support.

In creating this charity event, Esquivel said, he hoped to show that even though one man shot and wounded a total of 70 people, 14 people who are inspired by Batman can do something even greater.

“Villains never win. Part of the fun of comics is that it’s a world where truth and justice always prevail, the good guy always comes out on top,” said Esquivel. “We’re blessed that the comic community is full of people who believe in Batman and not the Joker.”

Bringing summer break to a close Second Saturdays and Mount Lemmon provide Tucsonans ways to end the summer with a bang

By Alyssa DeMember ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Summer is the season that we all try to make the most memorable. It’s the time when we vacation to California, swim every day with an ice cold drink in one hand and stay up until the end of eternity playing video games without a trace of homework-induced anxiety. And even if the June, July and August months seem dominated by work, everyone still aspires to have a great summer. While the season is coming to a close, use this opportunity to explore a few of Tucson’s hidden gems.

Second Saturdays Downtown On the second Saturday of every month, downtown Tucson hosts a street festival at night, full of dancing people, live bands, a variety of food tents and some type of quirky factor, such as silent face-painted stilt-walkers holding colorful umbrellas. Besides parking, which costs about $3, attending Second Saturdays is a totally free and fun way to connect with the Tucson community. The next festival will be held on August 11, from 6 p.m. to 10:30 pm. For more information, go to www.2ndsaturdaysdowntown.com.

KYLE WASSON / ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Deceptively Innocent plays for onlookers in front of Chicago Music Store at Second Saturdays in downtown Tucson. Second Saturdays feature food, drinks and local artists.

Mount Lemmon We usually feel our best when we’re spending time outside in the fresh air, but this is often difficult to do when the sun is blazing and our skin is baking in 100 degree weather. Usually, the only outdoor option is swimming, but if you take a drive a couple thousand feet up Mt. Lemmon, suddenly the environment shifts to that of a cool, breezy forest. Around 5,000 feet up, the typical desert atmosphere of Arizona dissipates almost completely. Take a hike up one of the trails, and be sure to bring

plenty of water and a few snacks, like apples and peanut butter. Or maybe do something a little more unconventional: If you’re an artist or think you may want to try it out, find a large, flat rock and paint. Windy Point, about 6,600 feet above sea level, is a perfect place to do this. It’s a refreshing, spacious and scenic place, overlooking miles of rolling green mountains.

There is still plenty of time to get out there and salvage some last-minute fun from the rest of your summer. Everywhere you turn there is something exciting to experience in Tucson — sometimes you just have to get creative.

By Kate Newton

As you ascend past 7,000 feet above sea level into the pines, aspens and soaring mountain views of Flagstaff, Ariz., it may seem hard to believe you haven’t left this dusty state altogether. Here, the air is thinner, the stars are brighter and the nights are cooler, all of which contribute to this college town’s charm that sets it apart from other vacation destinations in the Southwest.

One of Flagstaff ’s most well-known attributes is its immediate access to some of the state’s best hiking and biking trails, with many located just minutes away from metro areas. Local favorite Hart Prairie Road, off Highway 180 and north of Flagstaff, circles the base of the San Francisco Peaks, traversing through grassy meadows and thickets of trees for nearly 15 miles. If you’re looking for an outdoor experience more off the beaten path, don your headlamps and heavy jackets and descend into the Lava River Cave, more commonly known as the Lava Tubes, a 1.5mile roundtrip hike that remains between 34 and 45 degrees year-round as it leads you into a massive underground cave.

If you’d rather explore the outdoors from a distance but still enjoy the scenery, drive up Snowbowl Road in the summer and fall months to the Agassiz chairlift, a thrilling ride to the top of Arizona at a height of 11,500 feet. Stop off at the peak and take a short walk, or let your camera do the work as you take in panoramic views that extend as far north as the Grand Canyon.

Sports fans don’t have to turn to hiking or biking to get an adrenaline fix in Flagstaff, even if it’s just from the sidelines. The Arizona Cardinals football team makes a trip to the Northern Arizona University campus every year in late summer for training camp, escaping the blistering heat. Football enthusiasts turn out in large numbers to watch scrimmages, get autographs or even exchange a few words with the players.

A short walk away from NAU is Historic Downtown Flagstaff, an eclectic, welcoming and possibly the best downtown district in the state. The First Friday ArtWalk attracts live music performances, local artwork and an exciting nightlife for culture-craving tourists every first Friday of the month through mid-September.

AUGUST 1-5, 2012 • MONSOON

are stoner-friendly hip-hop/rock outfit Kottonmouth Kings on August 29 and Dr. Dog on October 2.

If your itinerary is geared toward exploring downtown’s shopping and culinary options, look no further than the Old Town Shops, on the corner of Birch and Leroux Streets, as a one-stop destination. You can browse clothes and gifts at hidden-gem boutiques like Black Hound Gallerie and Basement Marketplace, scarf down tasty wings and Southern cooking at Bigfoot BBQ and satisfy an insatiable sweet tooth at Flagstaff Chocolate Company all under one roof. Don’t limit yourself, though, as specialty shops and restaurants around every corner are sure to pique the interests of even the pickiest vacationers.

Several highlights include the creative “caffeinery” Late for the Train Coffee, lunch favorite Pato Thai Cuisine and outdoor-shopping mecca Peace Surplus.

If one last excursion out of the desert seems to be just what the doctor ordered before the semester-long stretch resumes, take the 250-mile drive up to Flagstaff for a weekend of fun not found anywhere else in the state. You don’t need to be a hardcore skier, yoga enthusiast or avid granola-lover to like what you’ll see.
