Google Delayed Discovery delays discovery switch stalled on campus By Tim McDonnell ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
By Michelle Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA is going Google; it’s just having some trouble loading the page. Students’ e-mail was on schedule to be fully migrated to Google by Aug. 1 but has been delayed due to contract signings, according to Michele Norin, the UA’s chief information officer for University Information Technology Services . UA officials signed a contract with Google two weeks ago, which is now being reviewed by Google’s lawyers. It should be signed within a few days, said Tom Rees, associate director of UITS frontline services and student computing . The contract is expected to go through in its current form because of its close similarity to a contract already in place at Northern Arizona University, Rees said. He added,“It just takes a long time to get things done.” The Daily Wildcat reported in June that the UA was in the negotiation process for a $150,000 contract with Google, which would be the least expensive option for an e-mail server over alternatives such as Microsoft Exchange. The delay comes not from reworking the contract or running into problems, but rather from the administration misjudging how long the negotiation process would take, said Derek Masseth, senior director for infrastructure services at UITS. Once both parties sign the contract, it’s uncertain how the student migration will take place. It is anticipated that there will be a significant number of students who want to migrate immediately, so the UA is focusing on a voluntary rather than a mandatory transition, Rees said. “There will be a sign-up with firstcome, first-serve,” Rees said. “Doing it the voluntary way gives the students much more control as well as makes it easier on us.” The migration system, which will facilitate the student sign-up process, is expected to be up and running within the next few months.

The launch of the space shuttle Discovery has been delayed by NASA officials, forcing a hold on a UA-led project that could lead to advancements in materials engineering. The project, developed in cooperation with NASA, the European Space Agency and Cleveland State University, hopes to answer questions about the solidification process of alloy metals. Researchers hope to gather data about microstructures that could strengthen metals used to make jet engines. UA researchers, led by material
science and engineering professor and co-principal investigator David Poirier, were in Cape Canaveral, Fla., this week for the expected launch. Material science and engineering professor and co-principal investigator Robert Erdmann said the delay poses no problem to the experiment, which has been in the works for more than a decade. “It’s obviously disappointing because a shuttle launch at night is supposed to be a spectacular thing,” he said. “But all it does is set us back.” The experiment would require astronauts in space to melt down alloy metals in a specialized furnace, then solidify them in a mold.
Investigators back on Earth would later analyze these metals for their structural stability. On Earth, gravity and other factors often force metals to solidify irregularly, Erdmann said. But in space, he said, the lack of gravity allows molds to solidify at a uniform rate, lending the snowflake-like microstructures in the metal more stability. “We say hot air rises. Well, hot metal rises too,” he said. “In space, you still have hot metal, but it won’t know which way to go.” According to Associated Press reports, the launch was called off due DISCOVERY, page A6
Swine flu virus reaches UA
UA Campus Health gives five easy points for avoiding the flu: 1. Wash your hands often to stop the spread of germs. 2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth since germs are often spread this way. 3. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. 4. Stay home if you are sick. 5. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze to prevent others from getting sick.

By Angel Allen and Hank Stephenson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The first case of a UA student contracting the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, was confirmed over the weekend, but university officials made no formal announcement about the matter. The unidentified female fell ill last week, according to UA spokesman Johnny Cruz , who has been communicating with Campus Health about the case. Cruz said he doesn’t know if the student lives or works on campus, but said her case was mild to moderate in severity, and she has since made a full recovery. The university has a contingency plan for an outbreak of the virus,

and promotes ways to prevent getting the flu via fliers and posters on campus. Online updates about flu outbreaks are also sent out on UANews . “We can certainly say it’s circling nationwide and we should expect more cases here,” Cruz said. The case of H1N1 adds to the 25 confirmed cases of influenza on campus in roughly the last two weeks , Cruz said. All the cases were mild to moderate in severity with no hospitalizations. That number is higher than average for this time of year, according to Harry McDermott, the director of Campus Health Service . Rapid flu testing revealed the majority of students that tested positive for the flu have Type A, or the common flu. It takes specialized
testing to determine if anybody seen recently at Campus Health has the H1N1 virus. Students who are severely ill or have other potentially complicated medical problems like asthma are being treated with Tamiflu , McDermott said. “We are strongly recommending that anyone who develops flu-like symptoms should isolate themselves as soon as possible in their home or room and contact the Campus Health Service by phone if they feel that they need to be seen by a doctor,” he said. These precautions reflect the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations to reduce the chance of exposing others to flu. FLU, page A3

Shelton stresses growth, accountability
Q&A
Faculty must find ways to engage expanding student body
Although the budget crunch has dominated recent headlines, the UA is too large and complex an institution to boil down to a single issue. In the second part of a two-part series, President Robert Shelton sat down with news editor Tim McDonnell to touch on a few other issues affecting the campus.
Q: I’d like to ask you about technology in the classroom. In recent semesters we’ve seen an increase in usage of Webbased resources like D2L, especially in lower-tier courses. Given that these technologies are still relatively in their infancy, how can you assure students that the education that they’re receiving is of the same quality as they would be receiving in more traditional settings? Roxana Vasquez/Arizona Daily Wildcat A: The bottom line on all of this, in UA President Robert Shelton spoke to the University in his address about the terms of quality of education, depends future of the University of Arizona, Thursday afternoon, November 13, 2008.
on the individual. It’s about whether the individual standing in front of the class has designed quality web-based lectures, or graphics, or videos. It’s also about how available that person is and how committed that person is to the educational process. For example, we’re going to have lectures in Centennial Hall. There was a little brouhaha about that. When I was in college the most popular class was human sexuality and it was held in the auditorium with 800 people. The lectures were brilliant and the way the group was broken up into discussion sections worked. There are some people that you can put in front of a class of 1,000 and they will mesmerize you. Some people you can put in front of a class of 10 and they’re a disaster. You have to make sure you get folks sorted out. Some people can do brilliant work teaching graduate classes and they aren’t
as good at introductory classes and the other way around. What I would like to see is our faculty, and they’re very engaged in our administration infrastructure, push more towards these options for students. Students embrace it rapidly. Students seemingly have no problem absorbing 20 things at once. You’ve got to gear it to the audience, and I know we can do even more. How convenient would it be for a student if you can’t make a class, for example if you sleep late, or you’ve double-booked like Hermione Granger, to be able to get the lectures online. It’s not the same, but at least you have a backup. There’s so much more we can do with this high-tech online option. Q: Last year you explained to the Faculty Senate the need for the UA to produce more bachelor’s degrees, and this SHELTON, page A3 Sponsored by UA Career Services

Brazilian e-cards break bad news to that not-so-special someone
RIO DE JANEIRO — You’ve got mail — and possibly an STD. The Brazilian Health Ministry has created a Web site to let people inform partners they’ve got a sexually transmitted disease via an e-mailed virtual postcard. The official in charge of the min-
istry’s STD and AIDs programs notes that many people have a hard time telling partners they’re infected. Mariangela Simao said in a statement this week that the e-mails may help people “to tackle these diseases directly and with minimum exposure.” One of the cards shows a young
man reclining in his underwear. It reads: “Hi! I don’t know if this is the best way to tell you, but I’ve learned that I have an STD.” The card suggests the recipient see a doctor. — The Associated Press

Sen. Kennedy dies at 77 The Associated Press BOSTON — Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal lion of the Senate and haunted bearer of the Camelot torch after two of his brothers fell to assassins’ bullets, has died after battling a brain tumor. He was 77. For nearly a half-century in the Senate, Kennedy was a steadfast champion of the working class and the poor, a powerful voice on health care, civil rights, and war and peace. To the American public, though, he was best known as the last surviving son of America’s most glamorous political family, the eulogist of a clan shattered again and again by tragedy. His family announced his death in a brief statement released early Wednesday. “We’ve lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever,” the statement said.“We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice, fairness and opportunity for all.” Kennedy was elected to the Senate in 1962, when his brother John was president, and served longer than all but two senators in history. Over the decades, he put his imprint on every major piece of social legislation to clear the Congress. His own hopes of reaching the White House were damaged — perhaps doomed — in 1969 by the scandal that came to be known as Chappaquiddick, an auto accident that left a young woman dead. Kennedy — known to family, friends and foes simply as Ted — ended his quest for the presidency in 1980 with a stirring valedictory that echoed across the decades: “For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.” The third-longest-serving senator in U.S. history, Kennedy was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in May 2008 and underwent surgery and a grueling regimen of radiation and chemotherapy. His death late Tuesday comes just weeks after that of his sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver on Aug. 11. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Kennedy’s son Rep. Patrick

This undated file photo shows the Kennedy brothers, John F. Kennedy, left, Robert Kennedy and Ted Kennedy, right, in Hyannis Port, Mass. Ted Kennedy, died after battling a brain tumor his family announced early today.
Kennedy, D-R.I., said his father had defied the predictions of doctors by surviving more than a year with his fight against brain cancer. The younger Kennedy said that gave family members a surprise blessing, as they were able to spend more time with the senator and to tell him how much he had meant to their lives.
The younger Kennedy said his father’s legacy was built largely in the Senate. “He has authored more pieces of major legislation than any other United States senator,” Patrick Kennedy said in the interview. “He is the penultimate senator. I don’t need to exaggerate when I talk about my father. That’s the amazing thing. He breaks all the records himself.”
Deficit to hit $9 trillion over next decade The Associated Press WASHINGTON — In a chilling forecast, the White House is predicting a 10-year federal deficit of $9 trillion — more than the sum of all previous deficits since America’s founding. And it says by the next decade’s end the national debt will equal three-quarters of the entire U.S. economy. But before President Barack Obama can do much about it, he’ll have to weather recession aftershocks including unemployment that his advisers said Tuesday is still heading for 10 percent. Overall, White House and congressional budget analysts said in a brace of new estimates that the economy will shrink by 2.5 to 2.8 percent this year even as it begins to climb out of the recession. Those estimates
SHELTON

FLU

reflect this year’s deeper-than-expected economic plunge. The grim deficit news presents Obama with both immediate and longer-term challenges. The still fragile economy cannot afford deficitfighting cures such as spending cuts or tax increases. But nervous holders of U.S. debt, particularly foreign bondholders, could demand interest rate increases that would quickly be felt in the pocketbooks of American consumers. Amid the gloomy numbers on Tuesday, Obama signaled his satisfaction with improvements in the economy by announcing he would nominate Republican Ben Bernanke to a second term as chairman of the Federal Reserve. The announcement, welcomed on Wall Street, diverted attention from the budget news and helped neutralize any disturbance in the financial markets
from the high deficit projections. The White House Office of Management and Budget indicated that the president will have to struggle to meet his vow of cutting the deficit in half in 2013 — a promise that earlier budget projections suggested he could accomplish with ease. “This recession was simply worse than the information that we and other forecasters had back in last fall and early this winter,” said Obama economic adviser Christina Romer. The deficit numbers also could complicate Obama’s drive to persuade Congress to enact a major overhaul of the health care system — one that could cost $1 trillion or more over 10 years. Obama has said he doesn’t want the measure to add to the deficit, but lawmakers have been unable to agree on revenues that would cover the cost.
President praises student leadership
year we have a record number of incoming freshman. How do you balance this need with the budget challenges we’ve been discussing? A: That’s a question I ask myself all the time. We’ve taken a modest growth rate practice. This (freshman) class will probably be 200-300 people larger than last year’s freshman class. The reason the total number is up even more than that is good news: we’re retaining students. Not as many are leaving. So then the real key question is, ‘How do you, with a constrained budget, make sure they’re getting the education they need?’ There are a lot of components to that. One is, maybe the class size has to grow a bit. That works for some lectures, it doesn’t work as well for Spanish 1. But where it works, you can. The second thing is expanding the time use of the physical (campus). People love to have class between 10 and 2. If we can expand the use of the physical (campus), that could introduce some efficiencies as well. Finally, we’ve been doing in some areas what many universities have been doing across the country. Instead of filling faculty positions with tenure-track faculty, we’re filling some with instructors who
will teach more per dollar than tenuretrack faculty. Is that bad? Well, it depends on the quality of the teaching. And it depends on whether students, having great lecturers, can get in front of tenure-track faculty and rationalize how they’re creating new knowledge and being dynamic. So it’s all of the above. But again, a modest growth rate is very important in all this. I don’t want it to jump up enormously and I don’t want it flat. The other part of this equation, which we ignore to our peril, is K-12 (education). I think a few decades ago universities realized how dependant they are on K-12. If you don’t send us great students from local schools it doesn’t matter what you do, those kids aren’t going to persist. Working with K-12, working with Pima, more outreach, more helping them get prepared, more incentivizing. A lot of students take classes at Pima, and Pima is a fabulous partner. They are a jewel that we have in this community. So it helps students at the UA and I think it provides inspiration for Pima students to come over and get that bachelor’s degree. Q: What would you like to see from ASUA this year?
A: I think the student leadership here has been outstanding. I worked with Erin (Hertzog), I worked with Tommy (Bruce) and I’ve been working with Chris (Nagata). They’ve got a big constituency and some people are interested in them and some people don’t care. What I would like them to do, as far as possible, is to help me get the message across about the resources necessary to ensure that a UA degree remains a powerful, positive degree. And to get engaged in discussions on what it takes to have a great public research university. People don’t realize how amazing this place is. I mean, we’re in the top 25 in the nation for funds that come in. We’re a member of the AAU (Association of American Universities), which is the most elite 62 universities, public and private, in North America. All of that gives your degree stature. And so, together, let’s talk about how we ensure that stature is maintained and grows, and what the balance of resources are needed to do that. Not that I ever expect students to say ‘Yeah, double my tuition.’ It’s not that, it’s to help get the word out to understand to more about the complexities in supporting a great university like this.
Agencies work to control spread of virus
The CDC also suggests students rest and treat their symptoms with over-the-counter medications for reducing coughs and fever. Nearly 8,000 hospitalizations and more than 500 deaths associated with the 2009 H1N1 viruses have been reported, according to the CDC’s weekly “Flu View” newsletter. The UA Pandemic Response Planning
Affordable Veterinary Services
Subgroup is part of the Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT) on campus available for planning and implementing plans for dealing with crises. CERT, along with local and national agencies is working to help create a strategy in case of a pandemic influenza outbreak. Information on the precautions taken for emergencies is available at http://cert.arizona.edu.
At times, the H1N1 virus is reported as being milder than the common flu. While there is worry that outbreaks will occur on campus, McDermott told the Faculty Senate in May that there is little chance school will be suspended due to an outbreak. H1N1 vaccines will hopefully be available this fall at Campus Health.

Not speaking ill enough of the dead Remy Albillar columnist
A
s of August 24th, authorities have released the information that Michael Jackson’s cause of death was an overdose of anesthesic Propofol. As Jackson’s personal physician, Conrad Murray will likely face a very serious charge, despite his and his lawyer’s best efforts to “Beat It.” It’s awkward, to say the least, when you’re accused of murdering someone through professional incompetence. Even more so when the person you’re accused of murdering has been universally lauded as a loving father, generous philanthropist, hero and the most important icon to moonwalk onto the American pop culture scene. Hold on, that doesn’t sound quite right. That’s probably because prior to his untimely death, the King of Pop more closely resembled Skeletor, a cartoon zombie supervillain, than Mother Teresa. “Thriller” references aside, Jackson’s positive image seems to have risen from the dead as a result of his shocking and sudden passing at the age of 50. The situation begs us to consider to what extent we will let the deceased rest in peace. Will we mire the truth of our feelings toward that person, their actions and opinions? Since his death, iTunes downloads and album sales have pushed Jackson’s popularity to a whole new level. It is, therefore, no surprise that many are beginning to question whether Jackson is more popular dead than he was alive. It’s a disturbing idea that finds its way to the tip of our culture’s tongue each time a celebrity of a particular ratio of renown and pre-mortem irrelevancy passes away. Furthermore, our culture’s tendency to reinvent a celebrity’s character and memory in such a shameless fashion has begun to evoke worry on the faces of those willing to read the over-hyped, super-glossed writing on the wall.
Like Jackson, ex-Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith, known in life for her abilities to both wear little to no clothing and wed octogenarians, was remembered quite differently in death. Her virtues as a generous, wonderful mother were praised in direct proportion to the number of times her Larry King interview was repeated during CNN’s month-long coverage of her demise. This is noted without any disrespect to Smith, whose status as both a mother and an American sex symbol must not necessarily be determined as mutually exclusive. It is the bias in both Smith’s and Michael Jackson’s post-mortem depictions that draws a questioning eye, implying that the aspects and accomplishments of their lives didn’t correlate with a certain set of socially acceptable standards. Admittedly, this “speak not ill of the dead” mentality is a fairly standard cultural maxim. We speak well of the departed in hopes that when we die, the living will speak well of us. An article from Psychology Today even suggests that “as people are predisposed to attribute agency to a supernatural being with omniscience … so do we attribute omniscience to departed mortals”. Even if we aren’t convinced that the ghosts of those we badmouthed will come back to haunt us, we’re not about to take any chances. Regardless of whether this mentality is philosophically noble or psychologically insecure, it is not one that we will do away with anytime soon. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with remembering the positive aspects of a fellow human being. We should encourage and be encouraged to assert such an optimistic response to the harsh reality of death. However, the mass media’s evident castration of Jackson’s troubled personal life from his new public image does not honor his memory. Instead, it repackages a hauntingly brilliant artist into a caricature of celebrity far more plastic than any surgery he ever allegedly underwent. Enter Pete King, a congressman who has publicly denounced the excessive media coverage
of the King of Pop’s death as dishonorable and who accused him of being a pedophile. While his statements are most definitely in bad taste and (in accordance to Jackson’s 2005 acquittals) slanderous, they are also refreshingly familiar, echoing the kinds of accounts of Jackson we might have heard the week before the pop star’s death. In our desire to fondly remember the dead, how far will we let ourselves go in reconstructing our memories and the facts we are allowed to openly address? And at what point will we let “Rest In
Peace” be replaced with “Rest In A Fantasy, Where The Foibles and Shortcomings Of Your Life Are Eschewed In Light Of A Friendlier Image Of Saintly Dignity From Which We As Human Beings Can Learn Absolutely Nothing?” There’s a middle ground there, one in which we can honor the accomplishments of the dead while learning from their mistakes. Hopefully, we find it fast. — Remy Albillar a junior majoring in English. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

She ‘can’t get a ticket’, but a DUI? No big deal
A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrested a female student for DUI of the slightest degree and cited the female’s friend for being a minor in possession of alcohol on Sunday, Aug. 23. At approximately 11:45 p.m., an officer traveling northbound on Park Avenue noticed a vehicle’s speed around a small curve where Park Avenue meets Lowell Street, was about 10 mph over the posted 25 mph speed limit. The officer pulled the driver over near Park Avenue and University Boulevard. Additional officers arrived at the scene. Two female passengers were present in the vehicle. The female driver was identified by her California state ID. She was asked to step out of her vehicle and proceeded to speak with an officer. In slow and deliberate speech, the driver told the officer she was nervous and “couldn’t get a ticket”. When the driver was asked to step out of the car, officers detected that she was under the influence of something when they smelled the odor of intoxicants on her body and breath. While the driver was undergoing multiple routine field sobriety tests, an additional officer questioned the other female passenger in the car. The passenger said she hadn’t been drinking. Due to the obvious scent on her breath, the officer knew she was lying. The passenger was then cited for minor in possession at the scene. During the field sobriety test, the officer began instructing the driver what to do. Before the officer had finished her instructions, the driver began the sobriety test. During each of the tests, it was obvious the driver was very unstable on her feet. Tucson Police Department’s DUI unit arrived and administered a breath test where the driver indicated a Blood Alcohol Content over the legal limit. The car was impounded at the scene and both women were brought to UAPD for fingerprinting and citation. They were later released and taken back to the Zona Verde apartment complex, 1201 E. Drachmann St.
Who brings a hammer to Dirtbag’s?
A UAPD officer was flagged down by a Dirtbag’s Bar bouncer on Aug. 22 at 1:24 a.m. in reference to an alleged aggravated assault. The officer arrived at the bar, 1800 E. Speedway Blvd,, and was told that a man, in custody, attempted to hit a door staff member in the head with a hammer. Meanwhile, another bouncer was restraining the man, who was later identified by his California state ID. There was a hammer located a few feet away. TPD officers arrived at the scene. Witnesses say that the man had been kicked out of the bar prior to the incident and had later returned with the hammer in an attempt to hit the door staff member. The man was immediately stopped before he was able to cause harm. None of the Dirtbag’s staff members were hurt. However, the man, a UA student, was referred to the Dean of Students office for a Code of Conduct violation.
Let’s try flushing it down the toilet, man…
On Aug. 22, UAPD officers responded to Coronado residence hall, 822 E. Fifth St., in reference to an odor of marijuana coming from a room. They were escorted to the eighth floor where the odor had reportedly come from. When the two male residents inside realized the officers were knocking, they immediately attempted to shut the door and place chairs in the way. One officer stopped the door with his foot to keep it from closing. An additional officer noticed one of the residents trying to flush the marijuana down the toilet so he immediately went to the bathroom before it was flushed. The resident was arrested and seated on the corner of the bathtub. The man’s roommate was questioned. The roommate said he was not smoking and said he shut the door on the officer because he was afraid. He was on probation in Maricopa County for possession of marijuana charges. The officer examined the roommate’s condition for any sign of marijuana use. All evidence and testimony proved that he had not used marijuana that day and he was released with no criminal charges. The officer searched the room and found a small plastic bag rolled up in the front right pocket of a pair of shorts. The resident claimed the shorts belonged to him. Reports show that the bag contained a“green seed-like object”. The bag was confiscated shortly thereafter, as it was concluded to contain marijuana. Among other items found were two pipes. The resident was placed under arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and destruction of evidence. He was transported to Pima County jail.

Faculty voice concerns over Google switch
goal is to have full student migration completed by the end of winter break, Masseth added. E-mail addresses and logins will remain unchanged; only the website will be affected by the transition. Members of the UA faculty and staff attended Google Road Shows held on campus to examine the Google system and raise questions and concerns. A list of major concerns and questions was turned in by a committee of faculty and staff to Norin June 30. Since then, no decisions have been made. Some of the major issues that were brought up, according to the report released by the CIO’s office, dealt with compliance with federal regulations for Internet systems. The university is required to abide by such regulations, which include the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Masseth said. “We need to make sure that we know what the federal requirements are and then compare that to the environment we would have with Google,”Norin added.“Can a Google environment sustain our requirements? That’s what we’re looking at.” Another major issue raised, according to the report, was data security for individuals, such as e-mails and documents placed on an online site for storage. Some faculty and staff members have expressed fear that the Internet is not a safe or private place for

these items. Rees said he understood these concerns but stressed that information stored on Google would actually be safer than information stored on campus desktops. “Google has never had a single breach,” Rees said. “I do not see a problem as far as security is concerned
or data protection is concerned. There’s no evidence to show that there is any problem with Google as a cloud provider.” Like the student e-mail switch, there is no date set in stone for this contract to be signed or for migration to begin for faculty and staff, Norin said.

“The contract process itself can be time-consuming and that’s valid because it’s an agreement everyone has to sign,” Norin said.“They have been very agreeable with working with specific issues we have wanted in our student contract, and I anticipate that as well with the faculty and staff.”
to the failure of a critical fuel valve. Erdmann said he had been told the launch could be delayed for anywhere between a few days to a few months. Even if the project had run on time, Poirier said, it would not have been completed until late December at the earliest. Erdmann said that he had faced difficulties publicizing the project, which he said could have made a statement to Arizona state legislators about world-class research happening at the UA. That sentiment was echoed by Poirier, who said the project has received far more attention at Cleveland State. The Daily Wildcat received word of the project only at the last minute from a friend of Poirier’s wife. “Frankly, it’s been a bit frustrating,” Erdmann said. Poirier has been working on similar solidification projects for “more than a decade,” he said. A different project that was supposed to run on a NASA shuttle in the early 2000s was scrapped as a part of NASA re-prioritizing during the Bush administration. Asked how he felt about finally getting a long-term project off the ground, Poirier said he was not nervous but just glad to see the project launch. Erdmann said past and future delays have not affected the overall aims of the project. “We’re asking different questions,” he said, “but we’re hoping to answer the old questions at the same time.”

Kicking runs in the family Zendejas struggling with consistency, could lose starting spot By Brian Kimball Arizona Daily Wildcat
Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat
William ‘Bug’ Wright (left) alludes cornerback Marcus Benjamin (right) at Rincon Vista Sports Complex Friday. The speedy punt returner will also get a chance to make plays in the kick return game.
Return game taking shape By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat If sophomore receiver William “Bug” Wright was hoping to break away from the constant comparisons to the recently graduated Mike Thomas, head coach Mike Stoops certainly didn’t help when he announced that Bug Wright would be returning punts this season. “It’ll be Bug Wright,” Stoops said in his press conference on Monday. “He’s great with the ball, he’s very quick, and he’s an exciting player. He’s very good.” Thanks to a productive spring and an even better summer, Wright has asserted himself as one of the most versatile
players on the roster. Returning punts just adds to the receiving and running responsibilities that come with his role as the starting slot receiver. The more responsibilities the merrier. “(Returning) is my bread and butter,” said Wright, who returned two punts last year for 58 yards. “I just have to use my speed and quickness, and play fast.” Wright can’t escape the comparisons to Thomas, which might not be a bad thing. Thomas, the Pacific-10 Conference all-time leader in receptions, was a fourth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars last April and achieved suc-
cess despite being shorter than most receivers. Wright, who stands just 5’9”, hears the same critiques that Thomas did, but his coaches believe he might be more athletic than the former Wildcat captain. “I think he has the speed,” said special teams coach Jeff Hammerschmidt. “Mike might have been stronger, but I think Bug has something more. He has an extra gear just like Mike had and I think there’s things that Bug brings to the table more than Mike did.” That is pretty high praise for a former high school quarterback entering his first full year as a receiver/returner. Wright favorite to compliment Antolin on kick returns as well
You might also see Wright returning kicks this season alongside sophomore running back Keola Antolin. The backup running back is a lock as the No. 1 kick returner, and Wright is the leading candidate to be the No. 2. While Wright is the favorite to get the job, coach Hammerschmidt has several other options should Wright need to focus on all of his other responsibilities. “Bug is going to go back there and (return kicks alongside Antolin), but all of the guys want to return kicks,”Hammerschmidt said. “(Wide receiver) Terrell (Turner) is possibly going to do kick return and (running back) Nick Booth. We’ve got a list of guys.”
summer swim
Swimmer talks visit to Rome By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona swimmer Alyssa Anderson swam her 200-meter freestyle in 1:58.45 on July 7 during the USA World Championship Trials, good enough to earn a spot on the U.S. team that would compete in Rome for the World Championships. In that race, Anderson defeated Arizona graduate Lacey Nymeyer — a silver medalist — by seven hundredths of a second. Anderson made the team USA roster tabbed as an 800m freestyle relay member and had her chance to compete against the best in the world. She clocked an improved 1:58.35 during the preliminaries but did not swim in the finals. As a sophomore, her stint in Europe has helped Anderson seek to play a larger role within her team.
Wildcat: What was the biggest improvement you made personally through the whole experience of being on the national team? Anderson: I definitely got to see how the best prepare for the meet like that, so in that sense I kind of grew a little bit. I’ve never been away for that long on my own, without (a) coach. I think I grew as a person as well. And that whole (freshman) year, being away from home, especially with college, and then going away for a meet that long. I learned how to train myself and take other coaches’ input and kind of adapt. I mean, there were a lot of different coaches that I hadn’t talked to before. Just being able to work with them and still have a successful meet.

With the departure of Jason Bondzio, sophomore Alex Zendejas seemed destined to take over the role of the Arizona football team’s place kicker. He had the pedigree, seeing as his uncle, Max Zendejas, is one of the best kickers in Wildcat gridiron history. Zendejas learned the ins and outs of the position from Bondzio, a player who followed in the footsteps of current Dallas Cowboys kicker Nick Folk. Special teams coach Jeff Hammerschmidt even said Zendejas had a “great spring” and solid summer. But something just isn’t clicking for the sophomore as of now. “Mentally, at times he’s struggling,” Hammerschmidt said. “I think he’s very capable and he knows it. He’s very confident, he’s just got to get back into it. Right now he’s got a little something he’s got to straighten out.” Zendejas — a 5-foot-11, 190-pound graduate of Ironwood High School in Glendale, Ariz. — has been having difficulties with his form. Hammerschmidt said he’s not keeping his head down long enough which doesn’t allow him to drive through the ball. The inconsistencies in his form also affect his accuracy, Hammerschmidt said. Even UA head coach Mike Stoops commented on the kicker’s troubles during Monday’s weekly press conference, hinting that punter Keenyn Crier could see time as the placekicker if Zendejas can’t correct the problem before the Sept. 5 season opener against Central Michigan. “His technique has kind of gotten away from him lately and he loses confidence,” Stoops said. “It’s going to be important that we get him back in a good place before we open.” But the reason for Zendejas’ troubles could be easier to spot than subtle head movement: look at the back of his jersey. “I’m not going to lie; there is pressure. The name is big, everybody knows the name out here,” Zendejas said. “All the fans, everybody knows my uncle and everybody has a story about my uncle. I can’t hide from it.” “But it’s good though,” he added. “I don’t mind it at all. I’m proud of what my uncle has done and the position I’m in.” Hammerschmidt said that pressure is largely self-imposed by Zendejas, but he doesn’t think the weight of having to carry on a family legacy will affect him once the Wildcats start the regular season. In fact, he sees the exact opposite. Once the bright lights at Arizona Stadium flip on, Hammerschmidt fully expects Zendejas to be the player coaches expect him to be. “That’s how the Zendejas do it. They just wait for the big games and that’s what we’re waiting on,” Hammerschmidt said. “When he kicks it like he can kick it, he knocks the heck out of the ball. I think it’s just a mental block right now. He’s just got to get through it and keep his head down, and he’ll be fine.”
One year later: evaluating McKale’s arena curtain By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat Two years after head volleyball coach Dave Rubio first proposed the idea of making home games a closer experience for fans, his vision became a reality. Arizona’s Red-Blue scrimmage welcomed the Wildcats back to McKale center and the fans to the now-famil-
iar sight of the navy curtain hanging down from the rafters. The curtain — which essentially covers the middle and upper decks of the arena — made the stands feel occupied, even though there were only about one hundred fans watching. “I definitely think that the curtain makes everything completely different,” junior setter Paige Weber said.“It makes it a lot of an intimidating ex-
perience when you look out and you see the stands and they look more full than they do when it’s all empty at the top.” The curtain originally started with the idea to move home volleyball games to a practice facility. When that idea didn’t work, Rubio set out to find a way to keep the players in McKale, but cut down on the empty seating. “McKale is where we always want to
practice,” said redshirt sophomore Elise Hendrickson. “That’s where you want to be and play. I think the curtain’s a good idea because I know I don’t want to see us playing anywhere else.” Taking inspiration from UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion, Rubio adapted the Bruins’ concept to form a ring around the arena with a curtain, instead of cutting the court in half. Almost exactly one year has passed
since the curtain, adorned with Arizona’s logo, was installed high in the rafters above the Lute and Bobbi Olson Court — a full season for fans and players to get used to the curtailed arena. “It’s such a difference,” Rubio said. “I’ve been here for a lot of years, and just dropping them down and bringing them in intimately like that is pretty nice.” CURTAINS, page A8

Intimate atmosphere a plus
continued from page A7
The curtain has helped to alter the home-game experience for both fans and players. Because it diminishes the seating capacity from 14,545 seats to 4,181, the crowd enjoys a closer view of game action. And because of their closer proximity, the crowd provides greater support for their team. “I think that (it) helps,” Weber said. “When (opposing teams) come in it makes it feel like our fans are sitting on top of them, they way we feel when we go to some of their gyms.” The closeness of players to fans changes the atmosphere on court for the Wildcats. Cheering and loudness of the surrounding crowd helps Arizona gain the advantage on home court. The proximity of the fans also alters the depth perception of the court for the players. “McKale is so huge; a little white ball in a big arena is not always the easiest (thing) to determine where the ball is going to exactly be,” Hendrickson said.

“When you’re playing in a big arena depth perception changes,” Weber agreed. “When you look out to the stands and you can see people sitting close to you, (it makes a difference) versus all the empty space above.” It’s not just Arizona volleyball that’s taking advantage of the smaller arena. The curtain has made appearances at women’s basketball games and gymnastic events held in McKale. Although head coach Niya Butts does not implement the whole curtain, women’s basketball home games have used the sides of the curtain to block off the east and west ends of the arena. Rubio’s goal has worked out well for the volleyball team in their first season with the curtain. In a sport where followers are less numerous than in basketball, the curtain works to create an environment conducive to winning, fulfilling Rubio’s goal and pleasing fans — an all-in-one solution.

The Arizona volleyball team used a new curtain in the McKale Center stands last year. Gymnastics and women’s basketball also brought down the curtains, making the arena more intimate.
Q& A Summer trip to Rome teaches leadership
Are you looking to take more of a leadership role with (Arizona)? I’m not a freshman anymore so in that sense, because we have a big (freshman) class, (we’re) just trying to get them comfortable. I mean, we don’t necessarily need leadership because we have some great seniors this year that definitely have that under wraps. But I’m going to be more of a key player in dual meets and just try to score as many points as I can.
Are you still going to be swimming the 500(yard freestyle) this year or are you going to start moving up into shorter races? I’m still going to be swimming the 500. I don’t think I had a very good 400
at trials, I think that could have been a lot better like my 200. At the 1:58, I think my 400 could have been better at trials. Maybe I’ll do the 200s this year if I get a little stronger. (Head coach Frank Busch) didn’t think I was strong enough to stay with the big girls (at NCAAs). 200 short-course is a lot different than 200 long-course, just because it’s more of a sprint and more walls and I’m not a wall person. Hopefully my 200 fly gets a lot better this year because I think it has a lot of room for improvement.
a spectator during the meet, and if anything, I’d like to be more of a participant. We had to stay and do every single section and cheer. They gave you four hours in between sessions to go out on your own. I only had three days to do that so I got to see a lot of cool things like the Spanish Steps, the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museum but I only got to look, take a picture in front of it and take a taxi back.
What was Rome like as far as the city? Did you like it? Did you have time to enjoy it? I only swam one race and that was only one day so I was more of
Did you hang out with Lacey with her being a Wildcat? My sister actually went. She’s a freshman at USC this year and she made it in the 800 so we had a sister connection.

(6 74 6 3 )
Did you hang out? I think everyone hung out with everyone so it was a pretty fun group of people. My sister hung out with younger girls. I hung out with girls my age and then it was like the older veterans that had that connection.
What else, non-swimming-wise, did you do this summer? I took maybe a two-week break and didn’t do anything. But I was kind of on a break all summer tapering-wise. It wasn’t that much of a hard summer but it was definitely a crazy summer.
How did Lacey help you out? She has such a way of being a leader and leading by example, and I definitely look up to her in that way and listen to the things she says. She told me it’s a relay, you’re going to be excited. Don’t take it out too fast, don’t try to swim anything different than you’re used to because you made it here by the way you swim it. Don’t do anything differently.
Are you ready for school and what class are you excited about? Yeah, I’m excited for school. I took a summer class so I was still in the swing of things a little bit and Rome threw me off. I was excited to get to school. It was that time where I was ready to get back to school. I’m taking a Chinese civilization class with another teammate. That’ll be fun. Also, I’m pre-business right now so I’m taking some classes towards that.

The Daily Wildcat and UA Career Services are teaming up to provide Career assistance to our dynamic UA readership Shannon Kolder, a May 2007
graduate, wanted to pursue Entertainment and Media Management when she got here but none of the traditional programs offered quite what she was looking for. Undaunted, she created her own degree program through the Fine Arts College. To complement her interdisciplinary Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Media Arts, Music, and Communication, Shannon completed an Associate’s Degree program through the Eller College of Management’s McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship. Shannon said being able to pursue a multifaceted, custom-tailored educational track, while being supervised by highly supportive staff members and faculty from various fields was invaluable to her academic experience. This diverse strategy opened doors to other career-advancing opportunities. Ultimately her goal is to pursue a career in children’s media. For Shannon’s complete success story go to www.career.arizona.edu, click on “News” for the articles archives and then filter (at the bottom of the page) for Success Stories.
Wildcat Student Employment Fair If you need a financial boost to make ends meet or just want mad money for some extra fun this Fall Semester, the Wildcat Student Employment Fair is ideal for you. UA Career Services is sponsoring this one-day event on Wednesday, August 26th, 10am to 2pm, in the Student Union Memorial Center third floor ballroom to help students find gainful employment right here on campus.

UA colleges and departments depend on UA student help to supplement regular staff. While you are just halfway through your first week of classes, be sure to include a quick trip to
this one stop shop for on-campus opportunity. What could be more convenient than earning $$$ right here midst the hallowed grounds of Old Main, with the social hub of the UA Mall just steps away? You’ll be near the library when your shift ends and you make that quick transition from student/worker to just plain student. It’s a win/win because UA colleges and departments depend on UA student help to supplement regular staff. Here are just SOME of the departments signed up for this year’s event: Campus Recreation (where you can work out AFTER working), Campus Recreation -- Outdoor Adventures, School of Dance, Office of Student Computing Resources (affectionately known as “OSCR”), The Think Tank, the Mosaic Project and University Communications. Besides the money you’ll earn, the closer connection you’ll develop
with your university community AND the added experience for your resume, working on campus means you’ll also be reducing your carbon footprint. Why waste fossil fuels driving to off-campus locations when you can just skip from class across campus to your on-campus position? Besides all those benefits, just think of all the calories you’ll walk off getting from here to there on your own steam instead of riding. Speaking of food, one benefit for Student Union student workers are those discounted meals. Interested? Need more in the way of detail including a complete list of attending departments? Check it out online at: http://www.career.arizona.edu/ students/?wsef. And be sure to drop by on Wednesday, August 26th, in the Student Union Memorial Center 3rd floor ballroom. We’ll be looking for you.

golf season preview
MacManus to lead men on the green By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat With a summer of hard work behind them and their first tournament approaching on Sept. 9 in Albuquerque, N.M., a more experienced and motivated Arizona men’s golf team hopes to shine this upcoming season. “You always have high expectations,” said second-year assistant coach and former UA golfer Andy Barnes. “You don’t show up just to show up, you show up to win.” To carry out those aspirations, the Wildcats have added quite a bit of depth to their team by way of five freshmen and two transfer students, who will join the four returning starters from last year, including junior AllAmerican Tarquin MacManus. “(MacManus)’s going to be our leader coming back,” Barnes said. “We expect him to kind of carry us. He should be our leader week in and week out.” MacManus, the 51st All-American selection in UA history, has continued his 2009 success through the summer, finishing in the top five and top 10 in multiple tournaments. “I’ve played quite a few tournaments here in the U.S. (this summer),” MacManus said. “Everyone’s just getting back into town, but from what I’ve heard, everyone has been working really hard and we are just ready to start the season off with a bang.” MacManus hopes to once again earn All-American honors this year, but more importantly, he looks to lead the team deeper into the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. In addition to MacManus’ development, the entire Wildcats squad has been working hard to improve their respective golf game through various tournaments across the world. The coaching staff, led by head coach Rick LaRose, expects big things from returning junior and sophomore starters Rich Saferian (All-Pac-10 Conference honorable mention), Jonathan Khan and Philip Bagdade. For the UA men’s golf team, it has never been a question of talent. It is transferring that skill into top finishes that the UA coaches hope will separate their team from other programs. The Wildcats will try their hand at translating that skill and hard work when they travel to Albuquerque, N.M. on Sept. 9 for their first tournament of the fall, the
William H. Tucker Invitational. “If we play to our capability I feel like we can compete with anybody,” Barnes said. Formal practices begin tomorrow.
Women’s golf summer recap and season preview An eventful and productive summer for the UA women’s golf team has third-year head coach Shelly Haywood optimistic for the upcoming season. “I think this is the most prepared that we have been coming into a season,” Haywood said. The majority of the anticipation for Haywood starts with highly talented freshmen Kyndall Ardoin and Sherlyn Popelka. Popelka, who is from Switzerland, has spent the entire summer competing in amateur tournaments around the world, most notably the PING Junior Solheim Cup. Popelka thrived in the event, winning two of her three matches for the European team. Ardoin, a native of Gibsland, La., has played in a variety of tournaments this summer, most recently the North and South Amateur Championship. Ardoin joined soon-to-be teammates Alejandra Llaneza and Brittany Benvenuto in Pinehurst, N.C., but was unable to finish the round due to injury. In addition to Popelka and Ardoin, sophomores Margarita Ramos and Isabelle Boineau spent the summer in Europe playing in various tournaments. “Really my whole team has been working really hard on their games and has been pretty successful this summer,” Haywood said. Ramos recently took second at the Grand Prix des Landes-Hossegor in Aquitaine, France. After finishing in 16th place at the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championships, Haywood believes her young team has the ability to have a very successful bounce-back season. “We’re still really young, but I think now that those freshmen and sophomores have a year or two under their belt; they can really help the two freshmen that I have coming in,” she said. Haywood’s squad will start their fall season on Sept. 25 when they travel to Franklin, Tenn., for the Mason Rudolph Championships.
Burress sentenced to two years The Associated Press Plaxico Burress is planning to return to the NFL after serving a twoyear prison sentence on a weapons charge. “When I get out, I’ll be 33, not 43,” Burress said in an ESPN interview broadcast Tuesday night. “I’ll still be able to run and catch. I’ll still have the God-given ability to snag footballs; that’s what I love to do. Of course, I want to play again.” The former Giants receiver pleaded guilty last week to attempted criminal possession of a weapon after accidentally shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub last November. He accepted a twoyear prison term and is to be sentenced Sept. 22. With prison just weeks away, he acknowledged he’s especially anxious about being separated from his family. “I think that will be the toughest thing for me, you know, being away from my family and my son,” said Burress, who broke down in tears talking about his wife and son. “I want to be with my wife. She’s pregnant; she’s due on Thanksgiving Day. I’m having a baby girl. And I won’t even be there for that.” Burress said he wasn’t sure what to expect but has spoken about it with Michael Vick, who served 18
months in federal prison for his role in running a dogfighting operation. “He said: ‘You’ll get through it, I went through it. You’ll get through it, there will be better days,’” Burress recalled. “Who wants to go to prison? Nobody,” Burress said. “Like I said, I got myself into a situation and, you know, I got to deal with the consequences for it.” He said his .40-caliber Glock fired after he missed a step walking up stairs at the Latin Quarter Club in Manhattan. The gun began to slide down his pant leg, and Burress said he accidentally pulled the trigger through his pants when he tried to stop the gun from hitting the ground. Burress said he didn’t know whether he would live or die in the moments after the shooting. “The first thing that went through my mind was I don’t want to bleed to death, and I just want to see my family,” Burress said. “My situation could have been a lot worse. It (the gun) could have went off and killed somebody or killed myself. I have to wake up every morning and look at my leg, and I have a hole in my leg. I almost killed my own self, and I got to go to prison for almost killing my own self.” He said he did not know New York City law required a mandatory
3½-year prison sentence for carrying an unlicensed gun. “If I did know that, there was no way I would have put myself in that situation,” Burress said. That November night Burress said he was concerned for his safety because teammate Steve Smith had been held up at gunpoint earlier in the week, and Burress and teammate Antonio Pierce were going to pick up halfback Ahmad Bradshaw at the same complex. Still, after arriving at the club, Burress said he thought twice about taking the gun inside. “I knew I had that gun on me and I stepped out of the car and I was like, maybe I should leave it in the car,” he said. “I second-guessed myself right then, and that decision right then got me to where I am right now.” That’s a man headed to prison just 18 months after catching the game-winning touchdown against the previously unbeaten New England Patriots in the final minute of the Super Bowl. “Four or five years from now, down the road, I will look back on it and say I was reckless, I made a very bad decision and I am suffering major consequences from it,” Burress said.“I took away what I love to do most, which is play football, and I lost my job. That’s where I am now.”
