Students in traditions and cultures 104, Human and Animal Interrelations from Domestication to Present, listen to Dr. Elaine Marchello lecture Monday morning in Centennial Hall. All 815 seats allotted for registration for the class in the performance hall have been filled.

Students play the waiting game By Will Ferguson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students who want to put off registering for those pesky required classes might want to reconsider in the future. Growing waiting lists have left some students scrambling to enroll in a variety of courses. This year the College of Science,

for example, is offering 25 percent more seats to accommodate an influx of students in three of its larger classes: chemistry 151, biology 181 and physics 102. However, traditions and cultures classes among others have been fraught with extensive waiting lists. Budget pressures have forced administrators to cut the number of offered classes, said Jim Shockey,

associate dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Anthropology and geosciences professor Vance Holliday teaches a traditions and cultures 101 class called Patterns in Prehistory. The waitlists, he said, were a major source of confusion at the beginning of the semester. “It’s a mess, we had to add 25 new students at the last minute,”

he said. “The issue comes down to having TAs teaching discussion sessions to students who missed the first week of class.” Traditions and cultures classes have been among those with the longest waiting lists on campus, Shockey said. Holliday said that having teaching assistants lead discussion sections does not bring

down the quality of the class, but added that students who missed the first three class meetings will be hard pressed to catch up. “I don’t know how we are going to handle it,” he said. “This isn’t an efficient way to run a university.” Bryan Sturdivant, a prephysiology sophomore, who WAITING, page 3

A vehicle parked at Tyndall Parking Garage is one of 10 that students can rent for $6.80-$10.00 an hour as a part of a university program that partners with Hertz rental car company. The program is intended for students who may not otherwise have ready access to a vehicle.

Students feeling stranded on campus now have an alternative to bumming rides from friends with cars or braving the Tucson bus system. Gas, vehicle maintenance, cleaning, repairs, insurance and roadside assistance are all covered for the cars used in the UA’s new car sharing program. For $6.80-$10 an hour, students and faculty can rent a Toyota Prius , MINI Cooper or Ford Escape and leave campus for doctor appointments, grocery shopping or personal errands around Tucson. Through a partnership with rental car company Hertz , students and faculty can sign up for a car sharing membership. They can then reserve time online or over the phone for when they would like to rent a car, said Bill Davidson, marketing specialist for Parking and Transportation Services. After students sign up, a driving

record check is run on the renter. Those between the ages of 18 and 21 must have a clean driving record in order to participate in the program, Davidson said. A membership card is then sent out which is used to access the cars. The membership card has a chip that is scanned over the front windshield at the time that the car has been reserved. This unlocks the car with the key waiting inside. The maximum mileage for each rental time is 180 miles. Davidson said he thinks the program will encourage people to not drive solo to school, but instead to carpool, bike or take public transportation. People no longer have to feel stranded on campus without their cars, he said. “It’s a great way to help people who want to use alternative transportation,” Davidson said. Before school started for the semester, 70 people were signed up for the program. Davidson said they now have 260 members after only

the first week. The weekend before classes started, six people checked out cars, and the number has risen in the past week, Davidson said. There are 10 cars available for rent located in Tyndall Avenue , Sixth Street and Second Street parking garages, on North Highland Avenue and at North Olive Road and East Second Street. Each car is equipped with a Global Positioning System and a gas card so renters can fill up the tank if needed. “It’s a complete service package,” Davidson said. “It’s got everything you need.” The UA is the fourth school to partner with Hertz for similar programs. Davidson said other schools have had a lot of success with the program. At the University of California, Berkeley, public transit usage increased by 46 percent after a carsharing program was put into place, according to CarSharing.net , a non-profit educational site.

By Rikki Mitchell ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive this week, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. each day on University Boulevard and Cherry Avenue . “We get a great turnout from the U of A,” said Leticia Romo , a team supervisor for the American Red Cross. “The students are really good about donating.” All donors will receive perks for donating blood, such as being entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $250 gift card . Caroline Coppinger, a biochemistry freshman, thinks it’s important to donate blood because there is a shortage. “It’s a renewable resource in your body,” she said. “It doesn’t hurt you and you can save people’s lives.” The entire donation process takes about one hour and officials recommend donors eat a small snack and

drink non-caffeinated fluids two to four hours before donating. Romo said each bag of blood donated can save three lives. “You never know when you’re going to need blood, so it’s always important to donate blood,” said Romo. “It makes you feel great to donate blood knowing that you saved someone’s life.”

In Monday’s article, “Freshman class stats don’t add up,” the Wildcat incorrectly stated that contrary to a report from UANews, the UA had a higher number of minority students in 2006 than in 2009. The Wildcat made its calculations based on diversity statistics provided in the UA Fact Book. However, a second review of these figures show that UANews is correct and the Wildcat miscalculated. This year’s freshman class is the most diverse recorded, with 34 percent being minorities. The Wildcat was wrong and regrets the error.

NEW YORK — NBC’s “Today” show has hired someone with White House experience as a new correspondent — former first daughter Jenna Hager. The daughter of former President George W. Bush will contribute stories about once a month on issues like education to television’s top-rated morning Jenna Hager news show, said Jim Bell, its executive producer. Hager, a 27-year-old teacher in Baltimore, said she has always wanted to be a teacher and a writer, and has already authored two books. But she was intrigued by the idea of getting into television when Bell contacted her. “It wasn’t something I’d always dreamed to do,” she said.“But I think one of the most important things in life is to be open-minded and to be open-minded for change.” She’ll essentially work two part-time jobs as a corrrespondent and as a reading coordinator in her school. She“just sort of popped to us as a natural presence, comfortable”on the air, Bell said. Hager will work out of NBC’s Washington bureau. “I hope to focus on what I’m passionate about because I think I’d do the best job on them — education, urban education, women and children’s issues and literacy,” said Hager. — The Associated Press

WAITING

A gamble for the waitlisted to get class seats

continued from page 3

joined Holliday’s class on Monday, said he was relieved at being able to add the class. “I’ve been on the waiting list since day one,” he said. “This is the last TRAD class I have to take and there were no openings in any other TRAD 101s. I feel really fortunate I don’t have to take it next semester.” Other students were not so lucky. Samantha Megerle, a pre-nursing sophomore , was unable to switch into the section of Patterns in Prehistory she needed to fill her schedule. The issue, she said, is that because there are no available spots in the class she needs, her only option is to find someone to switch with. So far, she said, she has been unsuccessful. Statistics about waiting lists are difficult to compile because there is no central database for this data, said Aeyn Edwards at the Office of Institutional Research and Planning Support. Instead, statisticians would need to ask each professor for the number of waitlisted students in

their classes, which could take weeks, he said. Shockey said he understands the concerns of students who are having a difficult time getting into certain tradition and cultural classes. He said that although large waiting lists have become more of a problem in recent years, administrators have been doing everything they can, including adding emergency sections, to address the problem. Emergency sections were added to, among others, Holliday’s Patterns in Prehistory class and philosophy 101- Logic and Critical Thinking, where 21 students were on the waiting list, Shockey said. He added that his biggest priority is to maintain the level of academic excellence. “New sections like the Centennial Hall classes allow students to take classes from the department’s best professors,” he said. While other colleges have had fewer problems with waiting lists than social and behavioral sciences, additional class sections

Kappa Sigma withdraws appeal

are becoming commonplace throughout the university, said Elliot Cheu, associate dean of the College of Science . “Waiting lists have primarily been an issue in the lower level classes due to a large increase in freshman,” he said. “We try to judge students’ needs for adding specific classes on a case-by-case basis, therefore upperclassmen and those who need the class to graduate are a priority.” There are certain majors, such as journalism, that can’t add additional students to classes due to national requirements placed on the major, Shockey said. “Adding students to those classes isn’t an option,” he said. There is no guaranteed way to make sure students get into particular classes, he said, but there are certain precautions that any student can take. “If students are finding themselves concerned about getting into a class next semester,”he said,“my best advice is to plan ahead, don’t procrastinate, and talk to your adviser.”

Sigma Pi loses charter

Sigma Pi’s national organization revoked the charter for its Theta Pi chapter at the UA last week, said Carol Thompson, assistant vice president for student affairs for the dean of students office. “A fraternity needs a charter to be active on the university,” Thompson said.“Without it they can’t exist.” Last fall, Sigma Pi was under sanctions and on activity suspension for alcohol violations and risk management and assault issues. The fraternity was required by the UA’s Greek Standards Board to create a “Revised Risk Management Plan and Action Plan, develop a plan to address unregistered events, activities suspension and a membership review,” according to the Fraternity & Sorority Programs’Web site. The national organization could not be reached for comment by press time. The Interfraternity Council, the governing body for 20 fraternities on campus, declined to comment about this issue. The president of the chapter also declined to comment.

Kappa Sigma has withdrawn its appeal from the dean of students office after losing its recognition last spring. The UA investigated and found the fraternity guilty of hazing violations, the Daily Wildcat reported in March. The fraternity appealed but this month withdrew from the process, Thompson said. The chapter has instead decided to try to return to campus by applying for recognition in the fall of 2012. “By withdrawing their appeal we agreed to adjust their timeline for recognition status,”Thompson said. Kappa Sigma can apply to return to campus in the fall of 2012 and regain their recognition status in January 2013. Part of the application is going through an expansion process conducted by Fraternity & Sorority Programs, Thompson said. In this process, the fraternity must turn in materials to their national headquarters, involve alumni and give presentations to the Interfraternity Council, Fraternity & Sorority Programs and the dean of students office.

Arizona report cites continued sale revenue drop Of the two biggest revenue sources, sales tax collections for the month were down 18 percent from a year earlier and individual income tax collections were down 11 percent. Both reflect rising unemployment and the housing industry’s woes. The monthly revenue report also said a federal economic index largely based on employment suggests that Arizona “is still mired in a recession when many other states appear to be entering the recovery phase of the next business cycle.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — Arizona’s tax revenues continue to drop and the state’s economy apparently has not has reached bottom yet, according to a new state report released Monday. The Joint Legislative Budget Committee staff’s report showed state tax collections of $573 million in July. That’s 10 percent below July 2008 revenue and $33 million below this year’s forecast for the month.

With the revenue slump and rising costs for health care, state officials have struggled — unsuccessfully so far — to keep the budget in the black. Despite a constitutional requirement for a balanced budget, the state on June 30 finished the last fiscal year with a shortfall approaching $500 million. The treasurer has had to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars on a daily basis from a variety of state accounts to cover state operating expenses. Arizona has a budget approved for the

new fiscal year, which began July 1, but it has a projected shortfall of approximately $3.2 billion due to vetoes by Gov. Jan Brewer and subsequent action by lawmakers to provide school funding. The new state budget was based on a revenue forecast for a 1 percent drop from the previous year. However, the $33 million of revenue slippage already recorded in July means that revenue in the rest of the fiscal year would have to increase by 1 percent to meet the forecast, the report said. “It is

unlikely that amount will be recovered in the remaining 11 months.” Closed-door bipartisan negotiations between Brewer and legislative leaders continued Monday in efforts to forge a bipartisan compromise to eliminate the shortfall. Brewer has until Saturday to sign eight pending budget bills that do not include her call for a special election on a proposed temporary sales tax increase to help balance the budget. She vetoed much of a previous plan that also omitted the tax proposal.

Basic Facts

• West Nile is a virus that mainly infects birds. • Mosquitoes that feed on infected birds, take in the virus. • Mosquitoes can transmit it to other animals and humans they bite later. • The virus is not passed on person to person. • Most people who are bitten by mosquitoes are not bitten by an infected mosquito. • Most people who are bitten by an infected mosquito do not get sick. • Most people who do get sick get a mild disease. • Very few people can develop severe disease. • Mosquitoes are prevalent in Tucson during summer and early fall.

Ultrathon™ Insect Repellent with DEET is available at the Campus Health Pharmacy.

Here are some things that you can do to reduce being bitten by a mosquito:

• Limit time outdoors from dusk until dawn. • Use mosquito repellents that contain DEET. • Wear lightweight, loose-fitting long sleeve shirts and pants whenever possible.

• Check the screening on your windows and doors.

MAILBAG Wildcat’s stats don’t add up

Unfortunately, the facts are not on the side of your story headlined,“Freshman class stats don’t add up.” This year’s freshman class is in fact the most academically gifted ever, a distinction we base on criteria other than SAT and ACT scores. It is based on the all-time high record number of Honors College students who have enrolled, on the record number of national scholars — not just National Merit Scholars — enrolled, and on the highest-ever portion of students who are projected to earn at least a 3.5 GPA in the UA’s rigorous academic environment. In addition, the Wildcat made a math error in calculating the percentage of freshmen who are ethnic minorities. In terms of real numbers and percentages, this year’s percentage of minority freshmen — 34 percent — is without precedent. Final enrollment data for fall 2009 will be available on Sept. 14, at which time a final count of students will be completed following the last deadlines to drop or add classes, or withdraw from school. Perhaps that day will serve as a fresh opportunity to get the story right. Paul R. Kohn, Ph.D. associate vice president for student affairs and dean of admissions

Sexualized insults, a two-way street

I would like to commend Tiffany Kimmell on her elucidating piece on male vernacular and the application of the “sexualized insult” that is the other f-word. Clearly, Ms. Kimmel has come to truly understand maleness in the 21st century. Her resounding criticism of male usage of the word “fag” and “faggot” has been brought on by the study of “feminist scholars of masculinity.” Let us not ponder on what Kant might term as a perspective colored by preexisting experiences and notions, but instead question the source by which Ms. Kimmell crafted her witty article on the mitigation of men to a part of society that, implicitly, women do not themselves belong to. Perhaps I am mistaken in understanding that the word“bitch”is a gendered term, one that men and women both use often to describe

another woman. There are any number of words applied directly to women, including “dyke” and the un-utterable c-word. How, then, are these any different than men using the “other f-word”? The point is that all forms of verbal slander, from either sex, should be made a point to avoid. While your article may have been wellintentioned in exploring the derogatory nature of using sexualized terms in degrading manners, there was a distinct lack of an effort to provide for other sides of the equation. Degradation, unfortunate as it is, is by no means monosexual. Perhaps, Ms. Kimmell, more effort should be pursued in writing an article that critically examines the questions from multiple angles. After all, a group of fraternity guys, or immature high-schoolers, is hardly indicative of the male population at large. I, for one, don’t use the term, and am rather insulted that your article implies that I almost have to, if I were to fit in with all other males. Matt Winter history graduate student

Practice what you preach

In her Monday column, Tiffany Kimmell justly criticizes the homophobic lingo that is prevalent in our culture. However, her castigation of “bros” comes off as stereotypical and crude. She implies that fraternity members are unintelligent and without autonomy in their dress code. Moreover, they all sport fauxhawks and promote homophobic discourse within the confines of their fraternity houses. This caricature of fraternity life has become synonymous with the pejorative term “bro.” Much like any derogatory term, “bro” has become a put-down as it suggests ignorance, reckless affluence, and/or way too much Jack Johnson. In her superficial analysis of male brotherhood, Ms. Kimmel falls victim to the very behavior she condemns: type-casting that which we are not. Zachary Smith psychology senior

While that list of names is most likely to remind you of the guys you most recently played beer pong with, in the minds of a previous generation these names were synonymous with the ideal of“American royalty.” With the last of the Kennedy brothers to pass, as does the last member of the last true American aristocracy to be heralded in the public eye, and with it shows a glaring change in what our society’s tendencies to glorify, popularize and idolize. What set the Kennedys apart from regular celebrities, and made them akin to those monarchs of a bygone era is a mixture of things. They were popular, attractive, powerful and wealthy. They were also highly involved in the running and improvement of our country, with President John F. Kennedy at the peak of American political power. Compare their tragic, yet sympathetic history to that to the reputation of the jaded Clintons, the fallen Bushes and the freshly minted Obamas and it becomes clear that no political dynasty in the present has reached both the beloved status or overarching influence that the Kennedys once held. On the other hand, those families who have obtained the Kennedys’ level of popularity are far from hallmarks of political change or humanitarian efforts. The most popular brothers I think of in American culture today are probably those of the Jonas variety. And while we have always idolized musicians, actors and those more successful than ourselves, the fact that we no longer have a true set of paragons within the realm of leadership and government within our nation is, at the very least, sad. It is a reflection of an American culture with shifting perspectives and increased cynicism toward those who lead our government. The shifting perspectives, specifically, reflect a culture that is much more interested in following the minutia in the lives of pop stars than developing an understanding and interest in the individuals who run their country. The cynicism may not be completely unearned, but it still represents a cause for concern. The result being that our society has begun to seek its opinions and explanations for world events

not from those who are currently shaping domestic and world affairs, but Remy those actors and comediAlbillar ans who do their best to columnist manipulate those current events into a joke. While in the past one’s legitimacy and ability contributed to their popularity, it seems like the reverse has become the acceptable trend. As a result, Jon Stewart, Rush Limbaugh, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and Sean Penn have managed to develop reputations for political savvy by leeching popular sentiment and preaching to a choir in need of a much more qualified reverend. While the political analysis of those mentioned and others are surely valid and useful on many accounts, by focusing our attention solely on those outside of the actually political sphere (and those they choose to ridicule), one loses a useful context of the actual status of politicians and leaders who are not wrapped up in the spin and melodrama of modern political satire. As a result, those votes of senators and representatives who are without scandal or humorous character flaws are left in the dust of irrelevancy; a large portion of those affecting actual change and impact on our political sphere are mostly ignored, just because they lack the spark of celebrity. They’re just not as fun to watch. The answer, it seems, is far outside the grasp of a few concerned citizens and has much to do with the actual character of those who manage to “hope” and “believe” their way into power. So while it might be a stark example of the rampant cynicism I was previous critiquing, I have no desire to wait for the current administration or members of its immediate family to stand up and magically solve our problems while looking particularly photogenic. Instead I would make a call for my peers to do a personal assessment and investigation of themselves, their personal beliefs and the leaders/politicians that capably represent them.

Fairer than Fair Trade As a conscientious coffee addict, my moral code has often demanded that I find the best means by which to reduce the exploitation that occurs prior to my purchase of each welcome cup, without having to compromise the scale of my dependency. Until recently, I generally tried to purchase my thricedaily lattes from places that exclusively brew Fair Trade certified coffee, having been inundated with e-mails and pamphlets from Oxfam over the years about why this would make me a better person. But the photo of the smiling Peruvian farmer on the packets of Fair Trade coffee does little to convey all the facts. Yet, we are led to believe that the best way to deal with the guilt induced by drinking excessive amounts of coffee is to simply frequent cafés that stock Fair Trade. Easy! Conscience appeased! Certainly it appears to be a program that was developed and put into action with the best of intentions. However, good intentions are not enough to rectify the dismal conditions most coffee farmers around the world continue to live in. Unfortunately, the Fair Trade movement is unlikely to ever cater to the needs of enough farmers for it to be the most effective way to ethically satisfy our caffeine dependencies, despite the recognition and awareness it has gained. But, like anything with mainstream appeal, it was only a matter of time before the problems associated with Fair Trade came to light. Firstly, several factors can dictate a farmer’s ability to acquire Fair Trade accreditation, regardless of their adherence to its standards of ethical practice. For example, many farms are excluded

from receiving certification because they are either too large, cannot afford the fees for an inspection (which, naturally, are obligatory) or because they are Dunja required to join a co-operative Nedic to receive Fair Trade certification, and many who own the columnist land on which they are farming coffee beans are unwilling to do so. Another major concern is the fact that the very premise of Fair Trade is to guarantee a price for farmers, but unlike most industries, and indeed unlike the open market for coffee beans, this price is not determined by the quality of the product. A report by the Telegraph (UK) in 2008 suggested that many farmers were selling their good quality beans in the open market to acquire a price per pound higher than that required by Fair Trade, and offloading their lesser beans in the Fair Trade market where they receive a reasonable price, unaffected by the quality of the beans and thus providing no incentive to farmers to grow them to a better standard. As a result, a vast amount of the coffee beans on the Fair Trade market are grown from the Coffea robusta plant, an inferior type that is cheaper to produce. To give some context to its inadequacy compared to the Coffea arabica bean, generally favored by roasters and baristas with a bit of pride in their product, instant coffee usually consists of Coffea robusta beans which are often burnt to strip them of their naturally occurring ‘flavor’ (term used loosely) so that they can be

enhanced (or, made tolerable) by the addition of artificial flavors. Furthermore, the Fair Trade price does not fluctuate in accordance with the current demands of the market. Which is great when coffee beans are in abundance and farmers are struggling in a competitive market, but also means that they are unable to demand higher prices when beans are

not being produced in great quantities. Over the course of 2008, Starbucks paid an average of $1.49 per pound of coffee beans. The real question we should be asking is not what percentage of their coffee is Fair Trade certified, but rather why farmers are only receiving $1.49 for an amount of coffee that produces around 50 cups, for which we are paying upwards of $3 per cup. Such mega corporations can certainly afford to pay more (and, to be fair, Starbucks generally does pay more for its beans than the Fair Trade price, presently at $1.25 per pound according to TransFair USA) and this is the real demand we should be making: that they increase the price per pound that they pay for coffee beans, regardless of its Fair Trade status, to help curb the blatant exploitation currently taking place. There are always going to be flaws in any program, even those designed to improve the quality of life of those less fortunate than we are. But it seems the best way to ensure farmers receive truly fair prices is to put your money towards good quality coffee and create a greater demand for the beans that guarantee higher prices for the farmers who grow them. And now, you have an ethical obligation to avoid instant coffee. — Dunja Nedic is an Australian exchange student. She can be reached at letters@email.arizona.edu

Chinese factories short on labor The Associated Press XINTANG, China — During the first half of this year, Yang Zongfu’s blue jean factory had few customers. Now, as his business picks up, he can’t find enough workers. Clutching a chalkboard with a long list of job openings, Yang joined about 30 other factory owners who have been spending their mornings at a street employment fair in the southern town of Xintang, the jean-manufacturing hub of China. “I’ve been out here for two days and haven’t found anyone,” said Yang, as the scorching late morning sun beamed down on his sweaty, bald head. The dearth of workers is a surprising turn in an economy where millions were laid off just months ago, and the government worried the jobless would riot. Back then, it was the workers roaming the streets looking for jobs. The labor crunch is another sign that the Chinese economy — the world’s

third largest — is bouncing back from the global downturn, invigorated by government stimulus spending and a flood of cheap bank loans. But experts say the shortage is also the result of a wariness among migrant workers — whom the government discouraged from traveling to cities when jobs were scarce — of returning before they are sure the economy has fully recovered. China’s economy has certainly begun to heat up, contributing to the increased demand for labor. The nation’s economic growth hit 7.9 percent in the second quarter, up from 6.1 percent the previous quarter, the government said. Exports, retail sales and factory output also improved in July, according to official statistics. In Xintang, Yang said his business started improving in August when domestic buyers started placing orders. His factory — which has received few overseas orders — is now ramping back up to its pre-slowdown headcount of 100 from around 60 earlier

Tainted cocaine kills three, sickens dozens The Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Nearly a third of all cocaine seized in the United States is laced with a dangerous veterinary medicine — a livestock de-worming drug that might enhance cocaine’s effects but has been blamed in at least three deaths and scores of serious illnesses. The medication called levamisole has killed at least three people in the U.S. and Canada and sickened more than 100 others. It can be used in humans to treat colorectal cancer, but it severely weakens the body’s immune system, leaving patients vulnerable to fatal infections. Scientific studies suggest levamisole might give cocaine a more intense high, possibly by increasing levels of dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” neurotransmitters. Drug Enforcement Administration documents indicate that 30 percent of all U.S. cocaine seizures are tainted with the drug. And health officials saidthat most physicians know virtually nothing about its risks. “I would think it would be fair to say the vast majority of doctors in the United States have no idea this is going on,” said Eric Lavonas, assistant director of the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center in Denver, where as much as half of the cocaine is believed to contain levamisole. “You can’t diagnose a disease you’ve never heard of.” Authorities believe cocaine manufacturers are adding the levamisole in Colombia, before the cocaine is smuggled into the U.S. and Canada to be sold as white powder or crack. Economic pressures may play a role. Decreased supply in the U.S. has raised cocaine prices and lowered street-level purity. Cocaine traffickers may believe levamisole adds an extra boost to an otherwise weakened product. Levamisole started showing up frequently in cocaine from Colombia in January 2008. By late last year, the DEA concluded that the spiked cocaine was in wide circulation. At the same time, hospitals around the country began noticing more cocaine users coming in with agranulocytosis, an

illness that suppresses white blood cells necessary to fight off infections. In Spokane, Wash., a woman in her mid-40s who tested positive for cocaine turned up at a hospital suffering from rashes and other maladies. She eventually died, and the doctor who investigated suspected she had used cocaine laced with levamisole. Doctors suspect levamisole in at least three other illnesses in the Spokane area. “It’s hard to know where this contamination (is), in what part of the country it’s located, because there’s really no systematic testing for it,” said Dr. Joel McCullough, health officer for the Spokane area. “I don’t think it’s on the radar of a lot of people, so if there are some other symptoms, I don’t know if many clinicians would think to consider that.” Other suspected levamisole deaths occurred in New Mexico and in Alberta, Canada. Many other people have become gravely ill, including about a dozen patients in Denver and 10 more in Seattle. At least one patient in each city required intensive care or extensive surgery. In a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers suggested that the medication might increase dopamine in the brain, as it has in previous animal experiments. Levamisole “elevates opiate levels in various brain regions, like codeine and morphine,”said Don LeGatt, a clinical toxicologist at the University of Alberta who has studied levamisole in cocaine.“Once you get those elevated, people tend to feel fairly comfortable and not too bad.” The tainted cocaine has received only limited attention in the U.S., though federal authorities are monitoring its use, said Paul Knierim, a DEA spokesman in Washington. “I think the message is the same: Don’t use cocaine, it’s a dangerous drug,” Knierim said. Doctors and hospitals remain largely unaware of the cocaine additive. A spokesman for the New Mexico health department said his office plans to write a piece for a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention newsletter in September.

this year, he said. His chalkboard help-wanted sign advertises for one worker who can sew belt loops and another who can stitch pockets. He also needed a fabric-stretcher, a pants-hemmer and a zipper-stitcher. Other factory bosses along the street displayed signs made out of red poster board or scraps of brown cardboard looking for textile workers. Some economists and industry executives, however, said that the recovery is still anemic and may prove short-lived — signals that may discourage people from leaving the farms to return to the factories. Andy Xie, an independent economist based in Shanghai, said that while factory orders are rising, they are still sharply lower compared to pre-downturn figures. “What I see is that the retailers in the U.S. and elsewhere, in response to the rising cost of money last year, ran their inventories down to zero, so Chinese factories had no orders in

October, November and December last year,” Xie said. “That was not a normal situation,” he added. “Now with the credit costs pretty low again, you have restocking going on.” Although business has picked up, the orders are small in quantity, said Danny Lau Tat-pong, chairman of the Hong Kong Small and Medium Enterprises Association, whose members run many of the factories in the Pearl River Delta. Many workers are savvy enough to understand these business trends and are cautious about who they work for because they might get axed again. For many who returned home once they were laid off, forking out the cash for a job search in a faraway province can be a big investment. Many don’t want to risk it now if the prospects aren’t solid. In Xintang, migrant laborer Rui Deji scanned the help-wanted signs in the job fair as he clutched his lunch — a head of cabbage in a red plastic bag.

The 20-something migrant with spiky hair, brown slacks and sandals said he has spent the past six years in textile factories in Xintang. Rui said he has been unemployed for a month and would be willing to work for the average wage of 2,000 yuan ($293) a month. But he doubted that any of the factories at the fair would pay him that much for long. “The problem is that business is unstable,” Rui said. “You can’t be sure the work will last for long. And you also need to worry about whether the boss will pay you on time or even at all. That’s why so many migrants aren’t leaving their villages to come back here to work.” When the global downturn hit China last year, 30 million migrants lost their jobs, many of them in the Pearl River Delta, called the “world’s factory floor” because its China’s export manufacturing base. Xintang (pronounced SHIN-tahng) is about an hour’s drive from downtown Guangzhou, the provincial capital at the center of delta.

A woman reported a suspicious man scattering a white, powdery substance in the area of the Koffler building on Aug. 30 at 5:35 p.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded at 5:45 p.m. and was unable to find the man but found 12 piles of the substance scattered in the walkway areas north and east of Highland Commons. Assisting UAPD officers found the same substance throughout the UA campus. The piles averaged 4 inches in diameter and contained a handful of white powdery substance each. An officer marked the piles with traffic cones and after assisting officers arrived, all pedestrian and vehicular traffic was restricted from parking throughout the area. UA Risk Management and Safety was notified of the incident and dispatched the associate director to the scene to assess the situation. The RMS associate director told the officer he had come across similar incidents in the past where white powder is often used to mark paths and destinations during treasure hunts and other games that take place on campus at the beginning of each academic year. He declared the white powder safe and said UA Risk Management and Safety would dispose of it.

‘I’m gonna book’

A UAPD officer arrived at the Student Union Memorial Center to assist another officer with two possibly intoxicated men. Before the assisting officer arrived, one of the men was fighting with a custodial employee and ran away. While other units searched the area for the unidentified man, the assisting officer arrived and noticed a strong smell of intoxicants coming from the other man. He said he had been drinking and playing beer pong off campus but couldn’t remember how many drinks he’d had. A preliminary breath test confirmed he had alcohol in his system. The man said he couldn’t identify the other man because they met that night. A UA employee said he was in the breezeway at the Student Union when he heard

barricades, which were set up at the north end of the breezeway, fall and saw the two men walking away. The UA employee said the officer asked the men to sit on a bench before the unidentified man said “I’m gonna book,” and ran away. The UA employee tried but was unable to stop the unidentified man. The UA employees weren’t hurt and didn’t pursue any assault charges on the man. They said no damage was done when the barricades fell over. The man was cited and released at 3:55 a.m. for underage drinking. The unidentified man was not located.

The old switcharoo

A UA employee reported two hubcaps stolen from her Jeep Liberty parked on the third floor of Main Gate Parking Garage on Aug. 28 at 5:23 p.m. She left at 5 p.m. and noticed one of her clean chrome hubcaps had been replaced with a dirty, matte finish hubcap. She said this also happened between two and three months ago, but she wasn’t sure where the incident occurred. She will be pressing charges and a Victim’s Rights form was mailed. There are no suspects.

Revenge of the parking garage gate

An officer was dispatched to 880 E. Fourth St. in response to a car accident in a parking garage. The man in the accident, who had a valid radio frequency device that allows him to enter and exit the garage, said while he was exiting the garage through the southeast exit gate his car was hit by the gate arm. He said the gate went up like it was supposed to but slammed back down on his car, hitting the top part of his driver door. A UA Parking and Transportation employee found no damage on the gate arm and a scuffmark along the top frame of the door that extended to the rear door on the driver side of the car. The employee said the gate must have malfunctioned. The man was given a Victim’s Rights form and was advised to contact UA Risk Management and Safety to get his car repaired.

Football Notebook

Stoops yet to name starting QB By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat After months of competition and media-driven speculation, the Arizona football program still does not have a quarterback. They have two. “We’re not going to announce anything,” head coach Mike Stoops said during his weekly press conference on Monday.“It’ll either be Nick (Foles) or Matt (Scott). We’d like

to see both of them play, how much we don’t know, but both players have earned the right to play.” Opinions vary on whether or not platooning two players at the game’s most vital position is beneficial or detrimental, but Stoops appears surprisingly confident. “I feel very comfortable with both players that we can win,” Stoops said. “We’ve always tried to have people earn any position on the football field. Earning the right

to play is important and I believe that both players have done that. I think both players are going to play extremely well.” How long the quarterback competition will remain at a stalemate is anyone’s guess. Stoops admitted that his stance on the situation now might change in a week after both players have seen game action against an actual opponent. Until someone wins — or loses — the battle, though, the head coach insists

that his team is prepared. “We’ll continue to evaluate it as we go into the season,” Stoops said. “I don’t think it’s a distraction, I think (the rest of) our players are focusing on what they need to do. How we adjust our game plan will lend to the quarterback that’s in there, but that just shows how multiple we are in our attack. (Our offensive game plan) is not going to change much.”

Arizona managed to survive training camp without any devastating injuries. In fact, only one player is listed as questionable for Saturday’s opener against Central Michigan — unfortunately for the Wildcats that player happens to be junior Rob Gronkowski, the team’s tight end and arguably its best player. “As of right now Robbie would be the only part of our team that possibly won’t be available,” Stoops said. “That will be kind of a week-to-week decision. We just have to be very protective of him. You always have to be cautious and make sure the player is 100 percent and that there isn’t a risk of any other injury.” Stoops said that Gronkowski would have to be pain-free in order to play on Saturday. How close he is getting to that point is unclear, Stoops added. Gronkowski — Arizona’s all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdown receptions for a tight end — will be replaced by fellow junior A.J. Simmons if he is unable to play Saturday.

Stoops talks Bruschi retirement

Former Wildcat player announces retirement By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat

Tedy Bruschi, a former Arizona defensive end, retired from the NFL on Monday. “Tedy’s just a classy guy and a great person, he just gets it,” Arizona head coach Mike Stoops said Monday at a press conference. “He’s one of those guys that’s just very unique. Tedy played with that passion, that intensity and that focus that you respect as a coach.” Bruschi played 13 seasons with the New England Patriots and was instrumental in leading the team to eight division titles, five AFC championships and three Super Bowl wins. A defensive end at the UA, Bruschi was a two-time All-America selection, in 1994 and 1995. During his career as a Wildcat, he recorded 185 total tackles, 74 tackles for a loss and 52 sacks. “To do what he’s done is pretty impeccable,” Stoops said. “I’m happy for him. I don’t know if he’ll want to coach, but I know that he would be a great coach. “I just hope he doesn’t want my job,” Stoops joked.

Other notes

A week after displaying doubts about sophomore kicker Alex Zendejas’ status as the starting place kicker, Stoops said he feels much more confident in his leg, citing a mechanical error for his struggles during camp. Stoops said he has been extremely pleased with the play of backup strong safety Joe Perkins. In addition to Perkins, Stoops adamantly praised the overall depth of his program, especially the two-deep depth chart at wide receiver, defensive line and in the secondary. Of all the freshmen in the 2009 class, Stoops said that only linebacker Jake Fischer and H-back Taimi Tutogi will receive considerable playing time. Adam Hall, a highly touted freshman recruit out of Tucson’s Palo Verde High School, is currently in limbo between playing or redshirting. Stoops said it’s possible that he could still travel with the team even if he does redshirt this season.

Weekend play shows Vball’s maturity By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat For Arizona volleyball, the name of the game in 2009 is experience. Twelve of the 14 players are of sophomore status or older. With their road struggles last year, opening the season in Kentucky against the University of Louisville Cardinals was a formidable task. Beginning the season with three matches in two days across two time zones was a daunting task. But the Wildcats responded to the pressure, sweeping the matches against the Cardinals and Belmont University Bruins before defeating the University of Pittsburgh 3-1 for the final game of the weekend. “It’s certainly the result we wanted, but you’re never sure what’s going to happen during the first weekend especially,” head coach Dave Rubio said about his team’s performance over the weekend. “There are a lot of very good things that happened outside of just the wins.” Besides notching three wins early in the season, Rubio and the coaching staff witnessed the players’ development in their game management and lower number of errors. One of the main reasons for the Wildcats’ VOLLEYBALL, page 8

Gridiron Glossary

Breaking down the secondary By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat For an offense, the mental aspect of beating the opposing defense is probably more difficult than the physical part. Defenses are free to move around as they’d like and they rarely run the same play, both in terms of blitzes and coverage. There are dozens of ways a defense can cover the pass by utilizing man coverage, zone coverage and even combination packages. Assuming that the base package is on the field — two cornerbacks and two safeties — let’s take a look at the different types of pass defenses a secondary can run.

by them without help from other defensive players.

endless but they are based on three base packages:

Zone Coverage

Cover-2: The point of this defense is to keep receivers in the middle of the field and contain any kind of long pass. The two cornerbacks line up across from the outside receiver on each side, about 5-6 yards off the line of scrimmage. They’re instructed to stay on the outside shoulder of the receiver and force him into the middle of the defense toward the safeties, who are lined up 10-12 yards off the ball and are instructed to keep the receivers in front of them at all times.

The four defensive backs, with assistance from the linebackers, work together to cover the entire field without actually covering a specific player. Each player is designated a “zone” on the field and he is responsible for whatever offensive player enters that area. This is much more complicated than man coverage but the widened responsibilities allows defensive players some room for error. The possibilities for zone coverage are

Man Coverage

It’s a self-explanatory and simple defense to run. Each player lines up across an offensive player and is responsible for covering him on a passing play. Cornerbacks line up across from the two outside receivers, and safeties cover either slot (or inside) receivers, tight ends or running backs (with the help of the linebackers). While this technique sounds easy, it’s probably the most challenging. Defensive backs must react to what the fastest players on the field are doing, and the fact that the receivers know ahead of time what they’re supposed to do gives them a decided advantage. If a corner or safety slips for even a split second, the receiver can blow

Once the corners force the receivers into the middle they then cover the “flats,” which is the area they were originally lined up in. Cover-3: Unlike the Cover-2, this coverage is designed to contain any kind of short pass. The two cornerbacks and the free safety are each responsible for a “deep third” of the field: the two corners have the outside, and the safety has the middle. The two corners are free to line up anywhere between one to 10 yards from the receiver, and the free safety generally roams the middle of the field at around 12 yards from the line of scrimmage. The strong safety becomes a “rover,” which happens when a safety has dual-responsibility that won’t be decided until the ball is snapped. If it’s a run play he flies to the ball to make the tackle, if it’s a pass play he could be responsible for any combination of man-coverage or flat-coverage or he could be blitzing. Cover-4: This isn’t run nearly as often as the previous defenses thanks to how vulnerable it leaves the secondary. Cover-4 is a run-zone defense: both corners and both safeties line up 10 yards off the ball to give the defense more bodies to stop the run. Its reward against the run is high, but its risk against the pass is higher. It’s similar to man defense in that if a receiver beats the cornerback on a deep pattern, the help from the safety is minimal.

XC: Men, women to improve on past season By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Simple solutions sometimes fix hard problems. For the Arizona womens’cross-country team, head coach James Li has his solution to improving over last year’s seventh place Pacific 10 Conference finish. Eleven freshmen are included on the roster, creating one of the largest teams in recent memory. Replacing last

year’s class, which included leader Irine Lagat, a 17th-place finisher at the 2008 NCAA West Regionals, is the key to not taking a step backwards. “We lost quite a few of our key people (from last year),” Li said. “Our team had never, at least (recently), been big for the last six or seven years. “Now, this year, we just did great recruiting and we have a group of very, very talented young ladies on the team and we’re excited about it,” he added.

Such a large freshmen class has given the preseason practices an edge — more athletes equate to more competition for athletes hoping to make the short-list of top runners. But there is quality within that large crop of runners, too. “I think that already the quality of our workouts and practices have gone up having those new girls in there,”said junior Maggie Callahan, the oldest member of the team. “We’re already practicing better and I just think (having so many runners

is) going to make us better.” Unlike the women, Li said the men will have a larger veteran presence but that fact won’t lead to a false sense of security. “We’ve got to really step up this year,”he said.“We need to be more competitive.” Junior Victor Zazueta will again carry the load for Arizona with senior Dylan Fitzpatrick, junior Mohamud Ige and redshirt sophomore Adbi Hassan providing more scoring help. “We got some pretty good athletes

on the team,” Li said. “They had good track seasons last spring, and they’re going to be good and important leaders for the team.” The men’s team will look to add “a few” more walk-ons to their roster after holding a walk-on tryout last Saturday. The men, like the women, finished seventh place in the Pac-10 last year. Both teams will open their season in Flagstaff, Ariz., against the NAU Lumberjacks and the ASU Sun Devils.

Rubio: ‘We never panicked, we never looked scared.’

VOLLEYBALL continued from page 7

success is the presence of seasoned players. Although three seniors departed with the graduating class of 2009, most of the returners have played at least two full seasons of college volleyball. The tough opener is just one stop on the Wildcats’ pre-conference schedule and right up Rubio’s alley in terms of preparation. “Our team needed to be challenged a little bit and it’s a good tournament,” Rubio said. “Louisville is a very, very physical team and they’re going to be

very successful this year overall.” Arizona returned all five starters from the 2008 season, giving the coaching staff reason to believe the team should improve upon last year. From their very first match this season, the Wildcats proved that their coaches’ belief wasn’t all for nothing. “The very first game we played Louisville and the crowd is sold out and the score is 22-22,” Rubio said. “It was interesting to see how we performed because we never panicked, we never looked scared.” The significant returners from last

year’s squad know the key to this season is fixing their inconsistent play. With their strength stemming from junior setter Paige Weber and outside hitters Whitney Dosty and Tiffany Owens, the experience is already on the court for the Wildcats. For her efforts this weekend, Owens was named the Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Week and the MVP of the Sheraton Riverside Cardinal Classic. “It’s just that core group is juniors,” Rubio said.“They’ve been through the war so it was nice to see some composure.”

The adjustment to playing on the road was a weakness of last year’s team and stalled the win streak for Arizona throughout the season. Rubio believes that the strength of his team this year stems from the fact that players have faced adversity in matches before. The veteran players were especially helpful when the matches got tight. Standouts like Owens’ 17-kill, 14-dig performance against Pittsburgh are exactly what Rubio is looking for. “There’s a lot more confidence going

into the matches especially when every match has those close moments when someone’s got to perform,” he said. “And people did.” While the Wildcats’ play in their opening weekend is encouraging, the season is still young. With 26 matches left for Arizona, there could be a speed bump waiting right around the corner. Right now, getting past that first weekend is an accomplishment and a starting block that they can build on for the rest of the year.
