ASUA holds emergency vote Admin Senate scrambles to appoint directors, chief of staff
By Livia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT An emergency meeting was called Sunday to fill several ASUA positions. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Executive Vice President Katherine Weingartner arranged
an extra meeting of the ASUA Senate on Sunday to confirm two Appropriations Board directors and the executive vice president’s chief of staff. If the seats were left open, the ASUA Appropriations Board would be unable to conduct its weekly meetings to distribute funding to campus
clubs and organizations. As a result, the groups would be without funding for two weeks, due to Labor Day coming up next Monday. The two previously appointed directors left over scheduling and time management conflicts, according to Weingartner. Leah Edwards and Mitchell
Manburg were hired by Weingartner on Saturday and trained for their positions on Sunday. They were approved by the ASUA Senate and will begin activities today in the board’s meeting. The Executive Vice President’s Chief of Staff ASUA, page 3
blamed for tuition increases Goldwater Institute report cites ‘bloat’
Put your money where your grades are
By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
A recent report published by the Goldwater Institute blames growth in university administrative ranks from 1993 to 2007 as a primary reason for growing higher education costs in the United States. The report drew its conclusions from statistics compiled by the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education.
“It appears that they wanted a conclusion and manipulated the data to reach it,” — Robert Shelton UA president

“(Ultrinsic) may be as pure as the driven snow, but giving out credit cards, Social Security numbers to somebody that’s not regulated … I’ve got a little problem with that.” — Steve Barham associate coordinator, UA Race Track Industry Program
Is getting $25 enough incentive for you to get an “A” in that traditions and cultures course? What about $100? The website Ultrinsic started taking bets on grades from students at 36 U.S. college campuses earlier this month. Students create an account on the website, submit their class schedules and give Ultrinsic access to their academic records. Ultrinsic then calculates students’ odds based on this and any other information it can find about the classes according to CEO Steven Wolf in an article from The Associated Press. Students can deposit money into their accounts with a credit card, and then can place their wagers starting with a cap of $25 that increases with additional

user activity. Ultrinsic also offers “grade insurance” in case students do not get the grade they wagered on. Steve Barham, associate coordinator of the UA’s Race Track Industry Program and an expert on racing law and regulations, said there are three factors that determine if something is gambling: a wager or fee, chance and a payoff. Ultrinsic clearly has the first and third factor, he said. “The question then is, is it a game of skill or is it a game of

Public transit links up for students By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students without cars or those looking to save money on gas and parking, might consider mass transit. Both the public Sun Tran bus system and UA CatTran offer transportation services on campus and throughout Tucson. The two services work together to provide convenient routes for students. “We work close with (Sun Tran) to make sure we have a good service to get students to and from campus,” said Bill Davidson, marketing manager for Parking and Transportation Services.

chance,” Barham said. Barham used sports betting to illustrate his point. Skill between two teams is involved and your own skill of choosing, but there is also an element of chance, he said. Player injuries, calls by referees and fumbles can all affect the outcome of a game. He said Ultrinsic seems to be in a “vague” legal area. Based on Arizona gambling statutes, UA students may not
According to the report, the number of administrative positions nationally grew by 39 percent per 100 students from 1993 to 2007 compared to a 15 percent increase in overall student enrollment and an 18 percent growth in teaching, research and service positions over the same time span. The report also claims that average university administrative costs increased by 61 percent on a per student basis over the report’s sample, far outpacing the 39 percent increase in student spending over the same period. “What we were looking into was what have the universities done with all this money, what have they prioritized in terms of spending and hiring,” said Matt Ladner, vice president for research at the Goldwater Institute. “And the results we have are that they have prioritized administration and administrative positions

CatTran is a shuttle service run and funded by Parking and Transportation Services. Shuttles run from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. “It offers transportation around campus and shuttles in campus,” said Glenn Grafton, shuttle program coordinator for Parking and Transportation Services. The shuttle has routes spanning the entire campus, as well as Fourth Avenue and the shopping center at Broadway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue. These routes are free for all riders. Many students without parking passes utilize the CatTran to get to and from campus.

“It’s really easy,” said creative writing junior Kelsie Cady, who uses the CatTran to get to campus and back. “Parking is kind of a nightmare and costs money.” Other students use the CatTran to escape the heat while traveling around campus. Physiology senior Liz Marchionne takes the CatTran to get to her job at the BIO5 Institute. “I park my car, go to class and take the CatTran to work,” Marchionne said. “I usually walk, but it’s kind of hot.

No, I don’t know what everyone is talking about (27). I’m basically a Pima student at this point (10).
New question: Do you use mass transit to get to school? Matt Hewihle What’s with the space helmet? Basically covering a little bit of Japanese culture through anime. Basically trying to get attention and pass out flyers. It definitely catches a lot of attention. How do you feel when you wear it? Like what are you feeling inside? I feel way more confident. I mean, I passed out flyers with a helmet on before but I think it adds a layer of anonymity, it kind of stands out. So you said you feel more confident under the helmet, is that because people generally get pretty annoyed when you are trying to thrust them a flyer? Typically, people actually direct their footsteps towards you sometimes a little bit, if they want one. Or you know if you extend a hand out to them they kind of have to take one. Yeah, I’ve been watching you for a couple hours around the Mall because I have been back and forth out here. I have to say the helmet’s pretty intimidating. I can’t even see your eyes. But what are you actually handing out flyers for? Fun Time Party Go! tonight at the Rialto at 9 p.m. presented by Powhaus, it’s going to be amazing. What is Powhaus? Powhaus is essentially something started to basically promote local bands, and each party has different things for charity. So basically it’s a non-profit where you guys have parties and everything you make from it goes to a charity? Well, not everything but a lot goes to the Rialto, I don’t really know the breakdown. All I know is, personally, I don’t make any money but I’m perfectly happy going around and spreading the word. So you think that as long as what you are doing and you are happy then money and livelihood aren’t an issue? Well they’re definitely an issue. But you think they will come together if you are happy? Yeah, naturally. If you’re doing your thing, it’s how you direct yourself. So where do you want your life to go? To infinity and beyond. Oh! Hence the helmet. Any life goals? Anywhere specific that you want to go, or see or end up? No. Just autonomy and freedom. I really hope you make it to that place one day and also to infinity and beyond. Me too. Thank you. — Caroline Nachazel

69 cars involved in Phoenix interstate accidents The Associated Press PHOENIX — A surprise downpour sparked collisions involving 69 vehicles on an interstate near Phoenix’s downtown area Saturday evening, closing the westbound roadway for hours and sending seven people to hospitals. The crashes — described by authorities as the most in a single Phoenix area in recent memory — began about 6:30 p.m. with many drivers going too fast or not leaving enough distance between cars for the slippery conditions, Department of Public Safety spokesman Bob Bailey said. “The storm hit hard, hit fast,
and caught a lot of drivers by surprise,” he said. “The collisions began in the far right side of the roadway near the 7th Street exit ramp and this thing kind of perpetuated itself, enveloping the whole roadway.” None of the injuries were life threatening and most were fairly minor, Bailey said. Phoenix Fire Department spokesman Jonathan Jacobs said several others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. Afive-mile stretch of westbound Interstate 10 was closed for about 3.5 hours. DPS said the roadway was blocked off at Washington Street near downtown Phoenix and several key onramps are also
closed. Bailey said at least half the vehicles in the crashes had to be towed away, accounting for the lengthy closure of the westbound lanes. Eastbound traffic on I-10 wasn’t affected. Dozens of people involved in the accidents remained on the interstate for hours after the accidents, Jacobs said. Authorities handed out snacks and water and brought in air conditioned city buses for them to relax in until arrangements were made to transport them home, he said. Summer monsoon storms in the Phoenix-area desert can bring heavy deluges with little warning, often causing localized flooding.

ASUA President Emily Fritze hits blogosphere By Jazmine Woodberry Arizona Daily Wildcat There is more to Emily Fritze than meets the eye, or the computer screen. Fritze, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, is out to prove that the life of the student body president involves more than senate meetings and scheduled public appearances — and she’s doing it one blog post at a time. “Ideally, it is a transparency piece,” said Fritze of her WordPress blog, which made its Internet debut earlier this month. Fritze started the blog, the first one she has ever run, to expand on the work that ASUA does with social media. The UA student government also runs their own Twitter and Facebook pages. Fritze’s goal for the semester is broad, getting those who normally feel excluded to get involved with their student government. “I want to be able to encourage students that they can participate,” Fritze said. “Student government uses student apathy as an excuse (but) we need to better engage students.” With posts ranging from a funny picture or a snippet from a public event to longer, more issue-based fare, Fritze says she believes the blog can let people see the parts of the job that normally are not broadcast to students. Her mission is not just to leave her mark on the university, but being only the eighth female student body president in the university’s history, to also be as inspirational to others as former women presidents are to her. Fritze remarked about an column she read in the Arizona Daily Wildcat from 1998, detailing a

waters, which exist between the student body and their student government. But for Fritze, this is one small step toward a new era in openness and accessibility for ASUA. “I can’t expect every student to come (to an event) or to read (my blog),” she said. “Maybe we can’t change seniors’ minds … but we can make a positive impression on people when they first get here.” Although the blog is her main focus, she believes in the future such transparency and technological initiatives, including broadcasting live streams of senate meetings online, can also help get students get educated and involved. “It will help to show students that we work really hard, that we are up at all hours of the night. It will show that ASUA is not just a party planning committee,” Fritze said.
yet. During the senate’s meeting, Sen. Lindsay Hartgraves mentioned interviews would be conducted on Sept. 3 for senatorial aides positions. There is an on-going application process for the Freshman Class Council. Hartgraves said she “completely trusts (Weingartner ’s) opinion of people” and their capacity, as far as the new hires were concerned. Edwards, one of the two appropriation directors, is a UA freshman, and, according to Weingartner, has potential and desire to work on things beyond the board itself, such as a plan to simplify ASUA’s bylaws so that the entire UA student community is aware of and understands them clearly.

I’ve got a little problem with that,” he said. According to its terms of services, students who earn $600 or more must submit their Social Security numbers to Ultrinsic for IRS Form 1099, which is used for income other than wages, salaries and tips. Dustin Blasius, an accounting graduate student, said he wouldn’t use Ultrinsic. “I’m not really the gambling type,” he said. “I’m not a high-risk taker. I’ve been to Vegas and played the slot machines, but it’s not something I get a lot of satisfaction out of.” But Blasius didn’t deny that there were some undergraduate elective classes he aced that he would have bet on, given the opportunity.

Pop music perpetuates sex/violence double standard Heather Price-Wright
Arizona Daily Wildcat
W
hen notorious rapper/weirdo Lil Wayne’s song “Lollipop,” a raunchy ode to fellatio, plays on the radio, the lyrics are edited so that the song, already thin on meaning, makes absolutely no sense. “She lick me like a lollipop,” an overt reference to oral sex, becomes “I’m l-ll-l-like a lollipop.” The song’s bridge, which is, inexplicably, “Call me, so I can make it juicy for ya” becomes more inexplicable still because the operative word “juicy” is removed. Instead, Lil Wayne drawls, “Call me so I can get it (bizarrely long pause) for ya.” Though censoring the word “juicy,” which could have a variety of interpretations, is odd, the rest of the song is perhaps too sexy for the airwaves. Children in the car with their parents don’t need to hear Lil Wayne espousing the virtues of being “licked … like a lollipop.” Compare that semi-innocuous reference, however, to the current Billboard No. 1 song, Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie,” which is played unedited on the radio except for some choice f-bombs. The song tells of a tumultuous relationship marked by violence from both parties. While a female voice wails about liking the pain of being burned — figuratively by love and, as you later learn, literally by domestic abuse/arson — Eminem spews hatelaced lyrics about hitting his significant other, regretting it, swearing never to repeat the action, then turning around and doing it again. The song ends with perhaps the most disturbing words in recent pop music history. Eminem, whose virulently misogynistic lyrics have garnered media attention for years, raps: “If she ever tries to f—ing leave again / I’mma tie her to the bed / And set the house on fire.” On American screens and airwaves, it seems you can do anything to a human, especially female, body except gratify it sexually. The popularity of “Love the Way You Lie” points to a disturbing American cultural trend. While sexuality titillates us, but ultimately makes us squeamish, advocating violence is fair game. While the Federal Communications Commission polices vanilla anatomical terms — when’s the last time you heard the word “dick” on the radio? — Eminem can encourage his fans to “teach women a lesson” by physically and emotionally abusing them. Eminem has every right to produce whatever violent, hateful drivel he sees fit, though it’s a shame his considerable talent isn’t put to better use. If people want to buy the album, that’s their prerogative. The real villain here is not the artist. It’s the American double standard about sex and violence, and the FCC for perpetuating that double standard. If radio censorship exists in part to protect innocent ears, allowing songs like “Love the Way You Lie” to play unedited, flies in the face of that purpose. As much as parents do not want their young children to hear Lil Wayne babbling about his sexual escapades, they should be far more wary of songs that glorify domestic violence, which Eminem’s latest hit blatantly does. The worst thing a person might learn from the likes of “Lollipop” is that socalled deviant sex acts can be totally awesome. “Love the Way You Lie” has a far more sinister message, one depicting violence as a viable, even romantic, ingredient in relationships. Which would you rather teach your child? — Heather Price-Wright is the opinions editor of the Arizona Daily Wildcat. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

s a skater, someone who rolls through campus on polyurethane wheels, I often find myself falling because of rocks, running into impatient bicyclists and having to dodge ignorant pedestrians. To that end, let me lay out the problems that arise on busy roads and provide some advice for fellow boarders’ future cruising. First, I want to address the folks who choose shoes as their primary transportation. Walking is safe and healthy, but it’s hazardous when you’re texting. On the first day of this semester I had to dodge four people in a row. Not one looked up from their cell phones. Pedestrians: plenty of your fellow students are trying their boards for the first time. They’re paying attention to not eating concrete. Do not trust that they can get around you. Unless you want to literally “get down to earth” with some skateboarders and bicyclists on the UA Mall, I suggest leaving the phone in your pocket. Second, the cyclists on campus should exercise caution. You ride a device that
can average 13 to 30 mph. Treat the crowded Mall like the Interstate 10. Instead of causing 20-body pileups by rushing into the opposite lane, stay to the right. If you are so type-A that you just can’t stand being behind other cyclists, act as if you are a sensible driver in a police chase; you need to go fast and get in the wrong lane to pass everyone, but you don’t want a head-on crash, so look before you zip into that lane. For those of you like myself, who enjoy leaving the ground and watching your board flip under you, there’s quite a bit to worry about. You are not allowed to do tricks on campus because the UA doesn’t want your mommy to sue them when you fall trying your first piddly kickflip. This is true for anywhere that posts “no skateboarding” signs around a property. While your parents might not sue the school, your insurance company might be inclined to sue the landowner over your medical expenses. The other problem with doing tricks is property damage, which is the reason for the ugly skate-stoppers on ledges around campus. The UA campus offers plenty of amazing skate-terrain and you will probably skate it. If you’re going to do it, do so thoughtfully; don’t be belligerent
if the University of Arizona Police Department stops you and tells you to stay out of people’s way, since you’re the one breaking the rules. No matter what your bumper sticker says, skateboarding is a crime — punishable by verbal warnings, trespassing and criminal damage charges and getting your board impounded, which costs $45 to get back. Everyone, including other skateboarders, will appreciate that you’re being careful not to damage property and. Listen to what your mom told you as a kid, “Leave things better than when you found them.” Most importantly, everyone needs to respect each other. If everyone did so, the problems stated above would not exist. If you’re a busy biker, respect those around you by not being a speeding road hazard. If you’re walking, respect others by paying attention to your surroundings. If you’re a skateboarder, don’t be a loudmouth stereotype. Everyone will be less black and blue, inconvenienced and frustrated if all modes of transportation on campus can cooperate. — Gregory Gonzales is a sophomore majoring in philosophy and pre-journalism.

A civil victory— by default Storm Byrd Arizona Daily Wildcat
I
magine someone hunting you down, legally blocking you in every way, impeding your progress by any means necessary and then suddenly stopping. The reason they stop is not because they accept you or your lifestyle, but because it’s just not politically feasible to persecute or oppose you anymore. Talk about adding insult to victory. This is the reality that many same-sex couples could experience in the near future. The New York Times recently covered former chairman of the Republican National Committee Ken Mehlman’s coming out and the lack of reaction to it. In the article, the The New York Times paints the image that gay marriage just isn’t an issue to Republicans or Americans anymore. The headline reads: “Gay Bush Aide? No Bombshell in Age of Fiscal Cares.” Additionally, the piece cites Tea Party movements that advocate fixing economic matters, rather than focusing on social issues as a noticeable change in the party agenda. So, in other words, if Republican pocketbooks weren’t hurting so badly, they would be right back to fighting gays away from the altar. It’s surprising that the political party that has been both admired and knocked for being notoriously concerned
with “moral decisions” (such as abortion, stem cell research and gay marriage) has finally abandoned its moral course for what it really cares most about: money. The article lists Dick Cheney, Laura Bush and former “John McCain for President” chief strategist Steve Schmidt as conservatives who have changed their stance on gay marriage. In fact, Schmidt once pledged his support of gay marriage to a group of gay conservatives, because his sister is gay, and Cheney has now chimed in due to the well-known sexual
“If Republican pocketbooks weren’t hurting so badly, they would be right back to fighting gays away from the altar.” orientation of his daughter. This rationale just doesn’t seem to fit. Saying that you now side in favor of gay marriage, because a relative of yours is gay, is about as believable as saying, “I can’t be racist, my friend is African American.” Now, speaking optimistically, people and
opinions do evolve and their environments or families can produce a significant change in character. The only deterrent from believing this in the case with conservatives and gay marriage is a statement made by a former Bush re-election strategist Matthew Dowd. In The New York Times piece, Dowd cited polling information in which conservative voters listed terrorism, taxes, and the war in Iraq as the issues that would bring them to the polls. Translation: If I’m not scared or threatened by it, I don’t care. On the bright side, the The New York Times continues to cite Gallup polls that suggest a slight majority of Americans see gay marriage as “morally acceptable.” This is a comforting civil rights victory for gay Americans, and could provide eventual progress for them in their quest for equality. Nonetheless, don’t put your faith in the Grand Old Party having truly changed its stance because it agrees with the public opinion. This all seems to be politically driven, and therefore upsetting. I cannot speak for the homosexual community, but, speaking as a civil rights advocate, I am hopeful that gay men and women can be delivered their equality. I am hopeful that one day we can say that, in America, everyone enjoys equal rights because they deserve to, not because we’ve got more important matters to focus on. — Storm Byrd is a political science sophomore.

much higher than they have teaching.” Arizona university officials, however, remain unconvinced. Arizona State University officials Sharon Keeler, director of media relations in the marketing and strategic communication department, and Terri Shafer, associate vice president of marketing and strategic communications, released a statement criticizing the report the same day it was published. “The Goldwater Institute report … is seriously flawed at all levels, from the source of its data and the methodology that was used to the conclusions that it claims to have reached,” the statement said.
“The report is just fine as it is. It couldn’t be more straightforward. There’s nothing I would change.” — Matt Ladner Goldwater Institute vice president for research
UA President Robert Shelton agreed. “The fundamental problem with the (Goldwater Institute) study and why it carries no credibility is in their manipulation of the data,” Shelton said. “They put numerous categories of employees at the UA into the ‘administrator’ classification that simply are not in administrative positions.” Shelton went on to say that all UA faculty working on research projects were counted as administrators in the report. “It appears that they wanted a conclusion and manipulated the data to reach it,” Shelton stated. Ladner, however, rebuffs that point. “The bottom line is that whatever label you want to give people is that these are not people who are involved in direct educational processes at the university,” Ladner said. “Anything else is a purely semantical argument.” UA Director of External Communications Jennifer Fitzenberger also released a statement which echoed many of ASU’s sentiments on the report. “Over the past decade, student enrollment (FTE) at the University of Arizona is up 18 percent,” Fitzenberger wrote. “Research funding is up more than 58 percent. And over that time, the percentage of UA employees who are administrators is nearly unchanged.” Fitzenberger also cited the UA’s lower per degree costs, which were 20 percent lower
5
than the average of the UA’s peer institutions. These peers, which are determined by the Arizona Board of Regents, include the University of California, Los Angeles, Ohio State University, and the University of Texas, among many others. “Interest in the UA is at an all-time high. Enrollment at the UA is at an all-time high. Support of the UA’s research mission — as evidenced by funding of grant proposals — is at an all-time high,” Fitzenberger wrote. “State funding reductions also are approaching all-time highs. And the university is becoming more efficient by serving more students and conducting new research that improves the human condition, all while maintaining the same level of administrative personnel.” The Goldwater Institute, however, stands by its research. “The report is just fine as it is,” Ladner said. “It couldn’t be more straightforward. There’s nothing I would change.”

POLICEBEAT By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
14 inches in the pants
Three University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a call from a community director of the Coronado Residence Hall about a suspicious man around noon on Wednesday. The first two officers to arrive approached the man, while another officer spoke to the community director for the dorm. The community director said they had seen the man standing in the bike racks and felt he wasn’t a UA student, nor did he appear to have a reason to be lingering near the bicycle racks. The community director said as she watched from her office, the man knelt down by a bicycle and acted like he was tying his shoe. She continued to watch as she dialed UAPD. At this time, the man moved to several spots near the bicycle racks without an apparent reason for being there. The man consented to be searched by UAPD. The officers found 14-inch bolt cutters in his pants. A record check revealed the man had been involved in numerous trespassing reports, and had been arrested for trespassing in March. The man is also the subject of a bulletin released by UAPD as a result of similar circumstances. The man was given a six-month exclusionary order.
She’s just not that into you
A UA student reported harassing text messages that she was receiving from another UA student to UAPD at approximately 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday. An officer met with the woman so she could describe the type of text messages she was receiving. The student told the officer that she had been receiving the messages since January, but they were not lewd or threatening in any way. The student said the messages were attempts to try to date her. She said she wanted nothing to do with the person, and made that clear, by sending “Stop texting me,” prior to meeting with UAPD. A UAPD officer asked the student sending the text messages to come to UAPD so they could meet. Once the sender agreed to talk, the officer advised the individual to cease sending text messages, because the woman asked him to stop. The officer asked why he chose not to comply with the woman’s requests. He stated, “Well, I guess I’m done now.” The officer told the student not to contact the woman in any way in the future.
Be careful how you park
A UAPD officer was dispatched to the Main Gate Parking Garage at around 6:03 p.m. on Tuesday, in response to a reported vandalism incident. A woman had parked her car at the top level for about four hours, and when she returned to her car she noticed the window on the driver’s side had been rolled all the way down. Since it had been raining heavily that day, her car’s interior was soaked. She also found a note, written on a napkin, left on her driver’s seat. The note read, “You should be careful how you park. You hit my car door. Be respectful.” The napkin was falling apart due to the rain. The woman noted that nothing was missing from her car. She was positive that all of her doors had been locked before she left it there, and all four of her windows were completely rolled up. UAPD found no signs of forced entry into the vehicle.
Flat tires don’t deflate drunken driver
A UAPD officer approached a man whose car was pulled to the side of a road near UA campus with two flat tires on Aug. 23. The driver, who is unaffiliated with the UA, did not speak any English and was leaning on the rear passenger side fender wall for balance when the officer arrived. Speaking in Spanish, the officer asked the man if he could administer a field sobriety test. He also let the man know that he had six out of six cues of horizontal gaze nystagmus, an eye test administrated by police officers to determine alcohol presence in body. The driver identified himself with a Mexican driver’s license that listed an incorrect date of birth. The man had bloodshot, watery eyes and the officer detected a strong smell of alcohol on the man’s breath. The man said he had been drinking beer at his friend’s house. Once he left, he noticed he had two flat tires but decided to keep driving home rather than fixing or abandoning his car. The officer had the man step away to conduct a sobriety test but the driver couldn’t keep his balance long enough to complete the test. The man was placed under arrest on suspicion of DUI. A friend drove the man home after being an administered a blood test.

N9NE Fest to drench thousands with music, foam By Emily Moore Arizona Daily Wildcat

If water slides, foam pits and Girl Talk intrigue you, you may very well be in for the night of your life at N9NE Fest Sept. 9. N9NE Fest, a music festival, may just have everything you need all at Tucson Electric Park — minus the giant mud pit. The festival is organized by UA students. Regional development junior and creator of Campus Bucks, Adam Richman , is one of the main brains behind the operation. “My family has a big background in the entertainment business,” Richman said. “It’s something I’ve always been interested in.” He and a few of his friends
have organized the music fest for UA students’ liking. By studying other music festivals and seeing what people really enjoy, they sought to come up with “the perfect college musical festival.” N9NE Fest is the end result. “The environment we’re creating is something no one has really witnessed before,” said Richman. “We’re taking a stadium setting which can hold 10,000 people and really creating more of a party atmosphere than a stadium-concert atmosphere. As big as it is, it’s still going to be so much fun for everybody.” Music, food, foam and water are the elements helping Richman and friends create this “perfect way to kick off the school year.” “We wanted to make it a fun, cool, atmosphere with the
heat,” Richman said. “Foam is something no one has really done before and it’s creative like no other music festival has done. We have a lot of cool elements to bring to the table.” Between 5,000 and 7,000 people are expected at the 11,500-capacity ballpark. The first annual N9NE Fest will also feature Far East Movement, Silver Medallion , a light show and a few surprise artist openers. “Even if you don’t feel like going in the foam pit and getting dirty, you’re more than welcome to come in jeans and just enjoy a great concert like it was just another night out,” Richman said. “There’s so much to do there’s no reason for anybody not to come.”

V-ball bounces back By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat
All teams that compete against a high level of competition will face adversity at some point during the season. It just happened to the Arizona volleyball team a little sooner than the Wildcats hoped. After taking a 2-0 set lead over Cal Poly in the opening match, Arizona (2-1) dropped the next three to lose its only match — and sets — of the tournament. “We just didn’t play very well (against Cal Poly),” said head coach Dave Rubio, now in his 19th season at Arizona. “Some of that was what they were able to do, and some was us not playing our game.” The Wildcats responded the way that a team expecting to compete for a championship should: with a statement. Well, two of them. Arizona swept both Marshall University and tournament host Notre Dame to rally after a less-than-ideal start to the 2010 season. Instead of sulking after the loss to Cal Poly (2-1), in what could have been a devastating blow to Arizona’s morale, its next-closest set of the tournament was decided by four points in the second match, against Marshall (0-3). Notre Dame (2-1) couldn’t even get within five points in the Wildcats’ third and final match, and Arizona sent a message early in the match with a 10-point beat down in the opening set. “I thought (the weekend) went well for the most part,” Rubio said. “Obviously the loss was disappointing, but it’s good to see where we are as a team.” For the tournament, National Player of the Year candidate Tiffany Owens and senior Whitney Dosty led the Wildcats in kills, both racking up 42 over 11 sets. Owens had a .305 hitting percentage, including a .519 percentage in Sunday’s win against Notre Dame, while Dosty hit at a .222 clip. Senior libero Danielle Holloway notched a team-leading 37 digs for the

The Arizona Wildcats soccer team began the Lisa Oyen era with a pair of losses over the weekend — No. 22 University of San Diego handed Arizona a 4-1 loss on Friday night, and the Wildcats dropped Sunday afternoon’s match 4-2 to Pepperdine University. Despite not getting the results Oyen was looking for, she remained confident that the weekend’s games would help the process of strengthening her team. “It was a tough weekend for us obviously, but we’re coming out of our first weekend playing teams who had a match under their belt,” Oyen said. “We’re fairly young, and although the results were very disappointing, I think myself, the staff and the players still have a lot of confidence in what we can still accomplish.” The Wildcats were tested from the get-go from a sharp USD (3-0-0) side on Friday night. The Toreros paced their offense steadily throughout the game, netting three goals in the first half and tacking on the fourth in the second half. While USD recorded 10 shot attempts and six on goal, Pepperdine struck early on Sunday by scoring a trio of goals in the first 10 minutes of play. USD and Pepperdine featured offensive attacks that tested freshman goalkeeper Lorena Aragon, who made her Arizona debut on Friday night. Even though Aragon allowed eight goals over the weekend, she was able to find a rhythm as each match went on, SOCCER, page 9
Adam Hall bigger, faster ... smarter By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat As a 6-foot-4, 210-pound safety fresh out of high school, there truly wasn’t anything that Adam Hall couldn’t do on the field. He had the speed (4.5-second 40-yard dash), the athleticism (38-inch vertical), and all-around skill to make an instant impact at Arizona. The Tucson-native was a four-star recruit out of Palo Verde Magnet High School, and the No. 3 ranked player in the state. He garnered offers from top schools like Alabama, USC and Oregon, among others, and earned national attention as an All-American. He excelled at running back, receiver and safety in high school, and tallied 38 total touchdowns as a senior. As one of the most physically gifted freshman safeties in the country, Hall was poised to make a big splash in his first year at the collegiate ranks. But the uber-confident Hall was missing one thing — the technique and mental aspect of the game. He was used to being the best of the best at every level, and thrived off of his athleticism alone. But as the talent level rose, Hall needed to rely on his smarts and positioning — something that never developed and resulted in an underwhelming freshman campaign. “It was really humbling,” Hall said of his freshman season. “It wasn’t as much difficult as it was a learning experience.” Hall quickly discovered that he was no longer the top dog that he was in high Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat school, and as a result, has made huge Sophomore safety Adam Hall addresses the media after practice on Aug. 6.

Q

My long-term boyfriend recently told me that, although he thinks that I am attractive, he doesn’t get aroused that much when looking at me. We get along really well and enjoy sleeping with each other, but I’ve noticed that he doesn’t always come when we have sex. Now I am worried that he might be more interested in other girls than in me. Do you have any suggestions for what I should do?
A. Communication is the currency of our relationships, but like a lot of things in life, finding the right way to talk about “stuff” is often easier said than done. Hearing your boyfriend’s thoughts may have left you surprised and hurt, but bringing up the issue with him in a non-confrontational way is the best approach to see where things are at with the relationship – and to find out if you are both willing to make things work. First, find a good time to discuss things when you are free from distractions. You might start by saying something like: “I’ve been thinking about what you said the other day, and I’d really like to talk more about it.” Let him know that you care about the relationship and want to speak openly about how things have changed. What follows will likely shed light on whether your boyfriend wants to see someone else, or find a way to get the spark
back with you. You may even find that there are other factors affecting his sex drive that are not directly related to you. Let’s face it – any long term relationship will have its share of sexual lulls. The longer we are with someone, the more comfortable we become and the less we try to impress. But while new relationships may have suspense and initial allure, you have the benefit of knowing your boyfriend better than anyone else. Talking about ways to spice things up – if that is in fact the issue – can help get things back on track if you both have a stake in making that happen. Visit your local library or bookstore for helpful books on sexual and intimate relationships, or go to www.goaskalice.com for quick and reliable advice for college students.

Tarquin MacManus — The senior and the Wildcats’ No. 1 golfer, was selected to PING all-region team this summer by the Golf Coaches Association of America. “It’s always good to be recognized,” MacManus said, “but my performance last year was not as good as I wanted it to be.” Jonathan Khan — The Tucson native is heading into his senior year and is expected to step into the No. 2 role for the Wildcats. Khan ranked third on the team in stoke average last year as he posted a 72.89 average. He was one of the most consistent Wildcats last year with six finishes in the top 20. Juan Pablo Hernandez — The sophomore hailing from Mexico City, had a very successful freshman year, with five finishes at par, as well as one top-10 finish. Before he stepped onto campus to begin his collegiate career, Hernandez was well renowned in Mexico, where he ranked third in the Mexican golf rankings in July of 2008 and first in Mexican junior golf rankings in July 2009.

Sherlyn Popelka — Hailing from Switzerland, Popelka turned in a fantastic freshman season. She led Arizona to its first team win in six years at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown as she won individual honors in only her third collegiate tournament. Popelka was a highlytouted recruit, as she attended the Annika Sorrenstam Academy. After a successful freshman year, the Wildcats expect big things from Popelka. Isabelle Boineau — After she emerged as Arizona’s No. 1 golfer during the 2009-10 season , Boineau is expected to continue to carry the load this season. The France native is extremely consistent with her finishes and should only improve in 2010. Alejandra Llaneza — The lone senior on a young team, Llaneza has been an integral part of the women’s golf program during her first three years as a Wildcat. The Mexico City product is expected to take a leadership role with the Wildcats this season.

the 1500-meter. Hassan earned AllConference honors with what he was able to do in his first year. Stephen Sambu — Coming into his first year as a Wildcat, Sambu was wildly regarded as the top junior college recruit of the 2010-11 school year. In fact, he was so successful that he never lost a race at the junior college level. Jordan Mara — The team’s lone senior was tabbed a captain of the men’s track and field squad back in 2009, and should wear that hat again for the cross-country team in 2010. The British Columbia native should go out with a bang as a Wildcat.

Jennifer Bergman — The freshman burst onto the scene last season, as
she became the No. 2 runner on the team. She was one of the key components in sending the Wildcats to their first national championship appearance in nine years. Hannah Moen — The junior already has an established career. Moen has already set a school record in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Moen has the seventh-fastest time in the 5000-meter in school history and the seventh-fastest time in the open 3000-meter in school history. Elizabeth Apgar — In her first season for the cross-country team Apgar proved to be one of the most consistent runners on the team. She recorded the most consecutive points for the Wildcats including four straight meets and three championship events.

Whipping it into gear Women’s Resource Center movie night to kick off season of programs at Gallagher By Dallas Williamson Arizona Daily Wildcat You had better get prepared. Why? Because the Women’s Resource Center is about to whip this new school year into gear — literally — beginning with the presentation of the first film in the organization’s semester-long film series. For those of you who don’t know, the WRC is a spunky group of self-proclaimed feminists on campus. Along with striving to promote gender equality, the group offers many activities throughout the year, including self-defense classes, a program called “Sex-Ed, College Style,” Safe Walk — a program similar to SafeRide that offers UA students and faculty walking escorts around campus — and more. This week, however, the WRC is all about showcasing the rough-and-tough side of girl power, baby. Kicking off its film series this Wednesday at 7 p.m. with a screening of the movie “Whip It” in the Student Union Memorial Center’s Gallagher Theater, the group is giving everyone the chance to see female athleticism in action. The first-ever film produced by actress Drew Barrymore, “Whip It” is indie-style and sheds light on the wild and invigorating world of women’s roller derby — a sport
that has been steadily gaining popularity in recent years. In the film, Ellen Page (Juno) stars as Bliss Cavendar, a high school girl who longs to escape her hum-drum life in a small Texas town. However, after stumbling across a women’s roller derby league in Austin, she secretly decides to try on a pair of blades and quickly becomes consumed by the wild world of women’s roller derby. After heartbreak and deception, Bliss finds herself at a crossroads — forced to choose between fulfilling her mother’s pageant dreams or holding tight to her beloved roller blades. Sounds good, doesn’t it? But it gets even better. Members from the Tucson Roller Derby will also be making an appearance on Wednesday night. Sporting their uniforms — helmets, skates and all — the players will be speaking after the film. And if we’re lucky, some of the women will even be showing off some of their skills and skating around the theater or the food court. Oh, and did I mention that it was free? That’s right, you don’t have to pay a cent to enjoy these rowdy, girl power festivities. So head on over to the student union this Wednesday night. Grab a seat. And enjoy what is sure to be one of many must-see spectacles brought to you by the Women’s Resource Center.
