Sun Link to see delays thanks to rain STEPHANIE CASANOVA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Heavy rains are to blame for a two-week delay in the construction process for the Sun Link streetcar, while unmarked and old utilities have caused a three-week delay to the project in the downtown area.

Though rains throughout the past week have remained relatively brief, each shower still slows down the construction process by several days while construction crews wait for the mud to clear, according to Jesse Gutierrez, the project’s construction manager.

Gutierrez said that some business owners along the streetcar route have been “relatively pleased” with the construction process, but not everyone feels that way.

“Obviously as a business down here, I’m getting weary,” said Margo Susco, co-owner of Hydra, a clothing store on the corner of Congress Street and Sixth Avenue.

“It just seems to go on forever.”

Amy Pike, owner of A Perfect Pantry on Congress Street, believes the University of Arizona, Main Gate Square and Fourth Avenue have been a priority for the city, but the needs of local entrepreneurs in downtown Tucson have been disregarded.

“It was obvious to me that the priority was the students at the university and not the merchants downtown,” Pike said. “That’s just the power of the players. [The] university is powerful.”

Pike also believes the city should help downtown businesses, suggesting that the city waive property taxes during construction.

Nobody is advocating for the merchants downtown, she added.

“Most people aren’t making their

rent. It’s coming out-of-pocket,” Pike said. “It’s the city’s blatant lack of concern. If it were not for the small entrepreneurs who have come down and opened up retail spaces, restaurants, etcetera, these large developers wouldn’t be as attracted to our downtown.”

Downtown Tucson has seen longer delays on the streetcar due to older utilities that are unmarked and unplanned for. Gutierrez said they had initially told business owners that construction in downtown would last three to five months. Construction on Congress Street started mid-May, meaning the street should have opened midSeptember on the five month mark.

Instead, the contractor will be installing rails and pouring concrete through the end of September.

Gutierrez said that the city is doing what it can to account for the delays.

“We’re trying to make it up,” Gutierrez said. “We’re trying to get done as fast as possible … so Congress will see the rail next.”

Gutierrez added that paving on Congress Street between Sixth and and Church Avenues will start the first week of October. Construction workers have been working longer shifts to make up for lost time due to the weather.

Susco said most of the construction dealt with underground utilities and felt like it took forever. Lately, she said she has seen some new work on the sidewalk that shows that construction is moving forward and will be done in time for October’s 2nd Saturdays.

“We’re already seeing a big jump in activity,” Susco said. “That second Saturday in October, the fences should be down and we are just hoping that the public’s going to

GPSC pushes for fee clarity ASA promotes

voter registration

RACHEL MCCLUSKEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

Since being elected Graduate and Professional Student Council president in May, Zachary Brooks has been pushing for student-fee transparency to clearly explain what the $467.79 tacked on to most students’ tuition actually pays for. Graduate and undergraduate students who take 7 units or more are paying the highest amount of fees for Arizona Financial Aid Trust, the Student Recreation Center and Student Services, according to data on the bursar’s office website.

To increase the transparency of such fees, Brooks said he plans to work with Jim Van Arsdel , the assistant vice president of student affairs and adviser for the Student Services Fee Advisory Board . Both plan to work with the bursar’s office to “make sure that when someone goes to UAccess and looks at their account, that’s where they can see how the fees are broken down,” Brooks said.

GPSC plans to push for unbundling the Information Technology/Library fees, which allocate $200 to wireless access and digital library materials. By unbundling these fees, students can see exactly how much is going to Wifi access and how much is going to digitally accessed articles and journals for the library.

Brooks added that because some students find University Information Technology Services less useful as others, one fix is to unbundle them, allowing students to vote for only the ones that benefit them.

GPSC also plans to unbundle the Health fee, which goes toward

student health services such as counseling and psychological services, as well as operational and maintenance costs for the Rec Center. Doing so would allow students to know exactly how much money goes to which area.

“If we pay 150 dollars, we should know $100 goes to one pot of money and $50 to a different pot,” he said.

Brooks added that keeping the fees bundled also requires that students vote on a number of fees even if they’re only concerned about one fee in the entire bun-

dle.

Most fees were put into place as of 1990 or later as the result of student referendums. With recent cuts to the higher education budget and no chance of eliminating any of the fees altogether, Brooks said that clarifying the fees is the next best option.

“Talking to administrators about the finances, it’s clear that the state of Arizona has cut 21 percent of our budget for higher education since 2008, so there’s just less money,” Brooks said.

“It’s harder to imagine less fees.”

With a proposition on the ballot that would directly affect funding for higher education in Arizona, ASA has been increasing its efforts to get students to vote, focusing on spreading the word among out-of-state students so that they can vote in November’s elections.

Following Proposition 100, which was passed in 2010 and mandated a one-cent sales tax, Proposition 204 reinstates the tax, and allocates some of its revenue specifically to education.

“When passed, [the proposition] will provide up to $300 million a year for universities,” said Dan Sullivan, communications director of the Arizona Students’ Association. “Half of which, about $150 million, will go to students in the form of financial aid.”

The proposition also aims to improve the quality of education in Arizona, which is supposed to attract companies that require a high-quality workforce. In order to attract such companies, the act

plans to fund road, rail and transit projects.

In an effort to spread awareness about the bill and to get students to vote, ASA has been campaigning on campus and explaining to out-ofstate students that voting in Arizona isn’t any more difficult than voting in their home states. Because those students pay tuition here, Sullivan added, it’s important that they register for the November elections.

“

You hear a lot that this year is the most important year, but this year for Arizona students really is one of the most important years.

“

— Dan Sullivan, ASA communications director

The one-cent sales tax was voted into effect in 2010 and is set to expire May 31, 2013. If the onecent sales tax expires, up to twenty percent of all public education funds would be cut.

Critics question college rankings MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

MCCLATchY TRIBUNE

ATLANTA — College rankings are so important to the Taylor family that even fifth-grader Lauren studies them. The Atlanta girl, who dreams of oceangoing trips in research vessels, has already narrowed her search to a few schools.

Her dad, Winston Taylor Jr., said the family finds rankings useful but also takes them with a grain of salt. The father of three, including a high school sophomore, said he suspected that rankings were flawed even before Emory University disclosed last month that it intentionally submitted inflated data.

“I’ve always questioned the rankings’ validity,” Taylor said. “It’s marketing, and when we talk about marketing, it’s selling.”

Emory’s misrepresentation reignited a deep debate over college rankings. Even as many parents, students and college officials criticize the lists, U.S. News & World Report averages 15 million page views on its website when its new rankings come out. The next edition will be released Wednesday.

Critics say the lists can’t be trusted, especially because they rely on data supplied by the schools and go through little factchecking. They challenge the notion that a mathematical formula can sum up a college — its campus culture, the accessibility of its teachers, its academic quality. Making a decision based on rankings also can lead a student to the wrong school, a potentially expensive lesson.

There’s gaming of the numbers just short of wrongdoing, experts said. Baylor University in Texas faced criticism in 2008 for paying already-admitted students to retake the SAT in hopes of boosting the college’s overall average and its rankings.

10, 2012

DAILY

Emory hasn’t determined why and when the misreporting began, but experts noted the pressure to remain a Top 20 school in U.S. News. Emory has been in this tier for 19 years.

Defenders of the system say the rankings are valuable, allowing families to easily compare many schools and exposing students to schools they’ve never heard of.

U.S. News & World Report is the granddaddy of college rankings, but dozens of rankings groups measure higher education, including Forbes, Kiplinger and Princeton Review. Brian Kelly, U.S. News editor and chief content officer, said that when the magazine first published rankings nearly 30 years ago, the goal was to provide hard information on the complex and confusing world of higher education.

The group calculates rankings using test scores, faculty salaries, per-pupil spending and other data. It also relies on surveys that call on college officials and sometimes high school guidance counselors to rate other institutions’ academic programs.

“We are just giving people the numbers, and they make their own decisions,” Kelly said.

Cheating is rare, he said. The publication has ways to ensure accuracy, such as crosschecking information with different sources.

Its site says faculty salaries are compared with information from the American Association of University Professors. Data on admissions, tuition and financial aid are checked against the National Center for Education Statistics, Kelly said.

Results still can be wrong, he acknowledged. Emory admitted last month that it sent faulty information to databases used by rankings publications and the national statistics center.

Immigrants return to school to avoid deportation MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — As the fall semester begins, thousands of Bay Area high school students now have another reason to graduate, and thousands of young adults have a reason to return to school.

Proof of being in school or having graduated from high school could be a shield against deportation and the key to jobs for an estimated 1.76 million young illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children if they qualify for the federal “deferred action for childhood arrivals” program announced in June.

Educators hope the lure of protection against deportation and renewable work permits will kindle the academic aspirations of young immigrants.

That hope seems a reality in East Contra Costa County, where one educator said she saw a spike in July enrollments for GED and English as a Second Language programs.

“It’s just constant all day and evening,” said Debbie Norgaard, an

adult education coordinator for the Liberty school district.

An estimated 20 percent of the young immigrants do not meet the education requirement — they have no high school diploma, no GED and are not in school — according to the Migration Policy Institute.

“Deferred action is going to be a motivation for everyone who didn’t finish high school,” said Luis Arroyo, an incoming University of California, Santa Cruz, student applying for the relief. “It’s going to motivate them to do something about it, go back to school, get their GED.” Many of his friends told the Oakland 18-year-old this year that “they wanted to give up on graduating” because even if they did well, being here illegally offered little hope for future success.

“We tell our kids, ‘You have to have your high school diploma,’” said Vidal Gonzalez, who mentors Latino high school students in Oakland. “‘Now it’s up to you to buckle down and follow through because now you have an

opportunity that you didn’t have a few months ago.’”

After President Barack Obama announced the policy June 15, thousands of Bay Area teenagers spent the summer ensuring they had everything needed to qualify.

Arroyo and his friends, all of whom ended up graduating just days before the policy announcement, were among about 1,200 young immigrants and their family members who crowded an East Oakland gymnasium Aug. 23 to hear expert advice on how to apply.

Hundreds more have gathered at similar workshops in Menlo Park, Oakley, Redwood City and across urban and rural Northern California from Salinas to Cloverdale, but it wasn’t until shortly before the Obama administration began taking applications Aug. 15 that it became clear the GED certificate would count for the education requirement.

Like the Liberty adult school, some other Bay Area campuses may also see increased interest in GED classes.

Mcclatchy Tribune

Other schools, such as the San Jose-Evergreen Community College District, expect less of an enrollment spike. Chancellor Rita Cepeda says most eligible students already have their high school diplomas and are enrolling in college classes, not GED courses.

The temporary federal reprieve is “a small step in the right direction”

and one of several policies improving the prospects of students lacking legal status, she said.

More important, she said, is the California Dream Act passed last year. It gives illegal immigrant students access to need-based, state-funded scholarships in the fall and Cal Grants and other state financial aid next year.

Business owners also emphasized the need for Tucsonans to support their local businesses. Regular customers helped Susco make it through the construction phase of the project, she said.

“If people in general would start to get off the [Internet] and start to buy local and support their local economy, that would be great,” she added.

Billy Elliott who opened his restaurant, Elliott’s, in May, said

he’s excited to see his business thrive once he has an open road in front of it.

“We’re excited to see what it’s like when we actually have traffic down here,” Elliott said. “Obviously the delays have been frustrating for all the businesses down here but I’m trying to stay optimistic about the long-term goals.”

Gutierrez said that with longer shifts and weekend work, construction should be back to its original timeline by November.

“A project that spans over a year and a half, you expect for one to have some kind of weather delays,” he said.

Scientists question Mars’ habitability with new study MCCLATCHY TRUBUNE

Jordin o’connor/Arizona Daily Wildcat

sun link streetcar construction has seen weeks of delay due to recent rains.

LOS ANGELES — A new theory is pouring some cold — actually, some really hot — water on the idea that Mars could have been habitable in the past.

Planetary scientists searching the Red Planet for places that could have contained the building blocks for life look for clues in clays, which can offer some indication that water flowed on or just under Mars’ surface. But a new study suggests that, at least in some cases, those clays might be a red herring.

A paper published online Sunday by the journal Nature Geoscience argues that such clays might have been formed in hot Martian magma rich in water. If so, that water would have been far too hot to support microbial life.

The argument contrasts with

two more common theories, said study co-author Bethany Ehlmann, a planetary geologist at the California Institute of Technology. One of them is that liquid water flowing across the Martian surface would have interacted with surrounding minerals, forming the clays.

In another scenario, underground water warmed by the planet’s internal heat could have provided a comfortable living environment before it got bound up in the mineral structure of clays.

On Earth, clays are remarkably good at trapping organic material.

So if organic compounds existed on Mars, clays would be a good place to find them.

If either of the prevailing theories about water is true, the Martian environment could have been hospitable for life, Ehlmann

said. Superheated water and magma? Not so much.

“The clays would form as the lava cools from 1,500 degrees Celsius,” she said. “That would not be a good habitat.”

The light signatures of these clays are very similar to some Martian deposits. And some — but not all — Martian meteorites collected on Earth appear to support the new theory, the study authors wrote.

It’s possible that all three models could be right, depending on where you’re looking, said Ralph Milliken, a planetary scientist at Brown University who was not involved in the study.

“It’s certainly a different take on trying to explain the origin of some clay minerals on Mars,” he said. “It does have some merit, and alternative hypotheses need to be considered fully.”

In your 20s? No need to freak out

Kristina Bui Arizona Daily Wildcat

T

he plight of being 20-something is wrapped up in phrases like “emerging adulthood” and “delayed development.” Being a 20-something now means you are broke, you are aimless, you are driven but you don’t know where you are driving to. At 20, 25 or 29, you lack decisiveness but not ambition.

Or so everyone says. No one says, “You are 20, and it’s OK to not know where you’ll be at 30, 40, 50.” Instead, you’re having a “quarter-life crisis.”

Admittedly, at 21, I am perhaps too early in my 20s to be much of a critic.

But I’m pretty sure I learned what “boring” is as a kid, and this is it. The notion of a “quarter-life crisis” is boring, and it’s time for everyone to get over it.

Two years ago, the New York Times committed 10 pages of its Sunday magazine to the biggest question of our time: “What is it about 20-somethings?”

It wasn’t the first time it had been asked, and it hasn’t been answered since, despite numerous attempts.

There’s the book “20 Something Manifesto,” a collection of essays in which “quarter-lifers speak out about who they are, what they want, and how to get it.” The same author wrote “20-Something, 20-Everything: A Quarter-life Woman’s Guide to Balance and Direction.”

Full disclosure: I’ve never read either book. I have read pieces on Thought Catalog with titles like “Should You Always Say ‘Yes’ In Your 20s?” and “On Losing and Finding My 20s.”

I’ve browsed the Tumblrs of .gifs dedicated to illustrating what you feel during class, when you’re working, on Monday, on Friday, at the bar, at the club, in your house, on a boat. (Maybe not on a boat.)

The Tumblr “Fuck! I’m in my twenties” was released as a book this month, most likely to be read by people who watch HBO’s “Girls” and think, “This is my life.”

But, in direct response to “Fuck! I’m in my twenties” and every blog like it, who gives a fuck?

There’s an entire series by the Huffington Post on the quarter-life series, written by people like Taylor Cotter. Last July, Cotter penned an essay in which she asked, “What about the struggles that I see on ‘Girls’ and the tales of credit card debt and ramen noodle dinners? Aren’t these the things that really make you 22?”

Navigating the ups and downs of meaningless hook-ups and frightening romantic endeavors, job-seeking Thursday morning, partying Thursday night, eating ramen, eating oatmeal, eating cold leftovers at 4 a.m. Anxiety over debt. Anxiety over unemployment.

Anxiety over moving in with your parents after graduation.

In the last few years, these experiences have become trendy fodder for hipster social networking websites, HBO, The New York Times and brain-imaging studies.

Yep — research examining the brains of thousands of young people says postponing all your major questions about your future is actually good. Your brain keeps evolving into your 30s.

“Until very recently, we had to make some pretty important life decisions about education and career paths, who to marry and whether to go into the military at a time when parts of our brain weren’t optimal yet,” said Jay Giedd, a neuroscientist at the National Institute of Mental Health, in a Wall Street Journal article last month. “It’s a good thing that the 20s are becoming a time for self-discovery.”

But why does anyone need a neuroscientist to say it’s good that your 20s are a time for self-discovery? When did leading the least glamorous life become so glamorous, and such an exercise in narcissism?

Your 20s are just stories you tell your friends over hangovers and brunch tomorrow or 20 years from now. And they’re normal. And you shouldn’t need brain-imaging studies or The New York Times or TV to validate them.

You are a 20-something. You’re not having a crisis. You’re just becoming an adult.

Your views Letters In response to Wildcat Weekend (Sept. 7): My name is Jamee Lind and on almost every other day I enjoy, and even look forward to, reading the Daily Wildcat, but today was not that kind of day.

I knew I was in for a bad read when I looked at the dull cover picture of a cuffed beer mug, but I continued to read it anyways. I was further turned off by the “Getting Trashed on the Cheap” and almost threw the paper in the trash when I saw the “Post-Game Sex Follies,” but I gave the Wildcat Weekend a chance to redeem itself by heading to the sports section.

The article about Austin Hill and the game lineup and predictions for Oklahoma were awesome and the Lifestyle and Outdoor sections were right up there with it in terms of good newspaper reads, but I am extremely perplexed as to why the cover of our school newspaper is so dysfunctionally portrayed.

— Jamee Lind, pre-journalism undergraduate

Facebook comments Yes, sex sells, but is TDW so limited in its journalistic thinking that this is the best you could come up with in order to attract readers?

— Kathryn Ortiz Real classy stuff there. Definitely hard-hitting journalism.

— Kevin Wos Seriously? You call this responsible journalism? When date rape and underage drinking are campus wide problem across the U.S., you promote what are essentially recipes for binge-drinking? I guess Pulitzers aren’t really part of your future game plan. Instead, you choose to hammer more nails into the coffin of journalism. Way to go, Wildcat!

Hey Frankie, it’s called um, “Personal Responsibility.” That basically means to “Drink Responsibly.” To put it in layman’s terms, it’s not the media who opens the cup for a college student and makes them drink it.

From the newsroom

Responsible journalism has readers’ interests at heart Bethany Barnes Arizona Daily Wildcat

O

ver the weekend, the Arizona Daily Wildcat’s arts editor overheard someone at a party ask a friend if they had seen Friday’s issue because “It’s all about porn and alcohol!”

I’d like to clear that up.

The regular paper no longer comes out on Friday. Instead, we’re trying this new thing called Wildcat Weekend. It’s coverage of alternative, edgier lifestyles and includes a larger emphasis on sports reporting.

The more colorful content was a point of contention for some of you, especially the inclusion of jungle juice recipes.

We found this a bit surprising, in part because it is a pretty bland article that is mostly just recipes you can find on the Internet. The sarcastic comment that kicked off the backlash on our Facebook page was “Real classy stuff there.

Definitely hard-hitting journalism.”

The commenter is right. The article isn’t classy and it isn’t journalism. But arts editor K.C. Libman ran it for a reason.

The Daily Wildcat editorial policy

Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings.

Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinion of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

Recipes, while not journalism, are valid content for newspapers.

Jungle juice isn’t classy, but it’s a party staple for many. Our weekend issue strives to be something that students can use to plan their weekend.

Jungle juice is popular, in part, because people want to get drunk but don’t want to taste alcohol. The description of the drink “pink panty dropper” could have used another sentence clarifying that the recipe is a good choice for a group of girls because, in the writer’s opinion, women in particular like jungle juice for this reason. The combination of the name and the description of the recipe as “a happy medium of ‘Oh my gosh, is there alcohol in this?’ and ‘One more of these will be the end of me’” led a few readers to suggest that the Wildcat endorses rape.

To be clear: We do not.

We didn’t name the drink, that’s just what it is most commonly known as.

Should we have encouraged

readers to “get hammered” in the article’s headline? Maybe not, but drinking responsibly lies with the reader. People drink jungle juice to get drunk. It’s part of university life, and the writer, the arts editor, the copy editors and designers, the editor-in-chief and everyone who saw the page during production agreed.

As journalists, we strive to follow the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics. One of the tenets of the Code is to minimize harm.

While I don’t think we failed to meet this tenet in printing jungle juice recipes, I do believe we erred in another article in the same issue: “Drugs, booze and girls are all you need for your weekend camping adventure.”

The article recommended going camping and taking psychedelics.

While it suggested taking along a “trip-sitter,” it should have been more clear about how to camp safely while high, since the combination could result in serious injury or death.

The same article also should have warned against the danger of becoming dehydrated when drinking, especially since Mt. Lemmon is still experiencing temperatures in the 90s. The writer did note that “hopefully” the reader would bring lots of water, but this was mostly recommended to avoid the annoyance of a hangover.

While we aren’t going to run a Surgeon General’s warning with every article about drinking, including safety tips is particularly important when it comes to doing illegal stuff in the wilderness.

Another important distinction between this article and the jungle juice recipes is that the camping article was written as advice for having a good time, whereas the jungle juice article was just a recipe list.

Wildcat Weekend will continue to tackle topics that are a part of weekend life — including sex, drugs and alcohol. What the Weekend won’t forgo in the future is journalism.

The majority of Friday’s issue was sourceless commentary that lacked variety, because four of 15 stories featured alcohol. This was a disservice to our readers, more than running jungle juice recipes was an endangerment to them.

Our arts editor is excited to hear what everyone has to say, good or bad, and he’s excited to dish out content that sparks stimulating conversation and inspires a memorable weekend.

POLICE BEAT YAZMINE MOORE Arizona Daily Wildcat

If the plebes don’t get you…

A student was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol in body at 11 p.m. on Aug. 30. A University of Arizona Police Department officer was patrolling the Zone 1 parking lots when he heard a man yell, “Plebes!” at two people in an angry tone. His feet were spread apart, with his arms raised in an aggressive manner.

Another UAPD officer was called to the scene. The officers spoke with the man who said he was upset because he is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon but his friend was not accepted into the fraternity.

The officers noticed that his eyes were watery and bloodshot and his breath smelled like alcohol. He then admitted to having a few beers earlier that night. A breath test showed that the man had alcohol in his body. The other two men were also members of the fraternity and told officers they were going to take him home. He was then cited and released.

A code of conduct violation was filed to be turned in to the Dean of Students.

Chocolate Hazelnut Two favorites, together at last. Chocolate + Hazelnut.

It’s the perfect swirl of decadence and sweetness.

Signal fail

A UA student was arrested for driving under the influence at 2:19 a.m. on Aug. 31.

A UAPD officer was heading westbound when he noticed a vehicle fail to signal for a turn onto Speedway Boulevard from Mountain Avenue and enter the second lane instead of the intended third. The UAPD officer then pulled the vehicle over in a parking lot on the northeast corner of Third Avenue and Speedway Boulevard. The officer immediately noticed the woman’s watery, red eyes and the smell of alcohol coming from her breath. The driver claimed that she had not been drinking, but when asked for her information, she had trouble finding her insurance.

After the officer mentioned her inappropriate driving behavior and the smell of alcohol, she admitted to drinking beforehand.

She was asked to exit the vehicle, but did so with difficulty. A second officer was called to assist. The officer gave the woman a field sobriety test, and she registered a .087 and .083 on the Intoxilyzer 8000. The driver was read her Miranda rights and charged with a DUI.

Unique by design

A 41-year-old man was arrested for theft and criminal damage at 6:34 p.m. on Aug. 29. The community service officer at the BioSciences West building called UAPD and reported a man running after someone riding a bicycle. The two subjects were headed east on Lowell Street. The man chasing the cyclist was yelling that he had stolen the bike. When the UAPD officer arrived, the man being chased did not stop the bicycle and continued south on the sidewalk of Highland Avenue.

He looked back at the patrol car chasing after him, but refused to stop. The man then ran into a two-foot retaining wall and fell off the bicycle.

The officer immediately detained the man. The man was carrying a green bicycle cable that had been cut and admitted to taking the bicycle from the BioSciences West building. The man claimed that the bicycle was his and had been stolen from him about two months prior. He said he knew it was his because of the tears on the seat and the fact that it’s unique. He further explained he had bought it at a swap meet and had the receipt at home.

However, after further questioning, he admitted to going back home after seeing the bike earlier that night, grabbing wire cutters and then returning to the bicycle rack so that he could cut the cable lock. As he was riding away, the other man chased him, yelling that it was his bike.

The man being chased said he didn’t want to stop because the bike’s owner was bigger than him, and he didn’t stop for police vehicles because he knew the officers wouldn’t believe his story.

UAPD officers then spoke with the man who had been chasing the thief and he said that the bicycle was his. The community service officer came to the scene and confirmed the two subjects were the men he had seen earlier. The subject who claimed he had found his previously lost bike was arrested. Police took the man’s wire cutters, along with a tool set they found in his backpack, and put them into property and evidence. He was then transported to Pima County Jail.

Kyle Johnson Arizona Daily Wildcat

The recipe for an upset: defensive touchdowns, costly penalties and most importantly, a winning turnover battle.

For Arizona (2-0) it was check, check and check, leading to a 59-38 upset of then-No. 18 Oklahoma State (1-1) in front of 45,602 fans at Arizona Stadium.

“Im gonna enjoy this one for 24 hours,” head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “We’re still shaking our head.

But stranger things have happened.

“You can coach off a win and you can coach off a loss. It’s a hell of a lot better to coach off a win. You sleep a lot better, food tastes a lot better. I’m

happier to the wife and kids. Everybody’s happy. This is a nice win.”

The victory was Arizona’s first against a ranked opponent since Sept.

18, 2010, a 34-27 win over No. 9 Iowa at home.

The Wildcats picked off Oklahoma State’s Wes Lunt three times, including a decisive 48-yard pick six by sophomore corner Jonathan McKnight early in the fourth quarter that made the potential upset possible.

“That just got us fired up,” said safety Jared Tevis, who had two interceptions of his own. “We knew from there on that we were going to win this dog fight. McKnight is a great player and we knew he was just waiting to break out and have a breakout play.”

Simply put, nothing was going the

Cowboys’ way, as evidenced by 15 penalties in total for a school record 167 yards.

“They were committing stupid fouls,” quarterback Matt Scott said.

“Late (hits), holding — they had a bunch of penalties. I guess you could say it helped us out but obviously we still had to play.”

Scott submitted another standout performance, completing 28-of41 passes for 320 yards and adding another 55 yards on the ground. Scott also threw two touchdowns and ran for one more without committing a single turnover.

After the Wildcats gave away the ball three times last week, Scott said throughout the week that emphasis was put on not turning the ball over.

That added attention paid off, as the Wildcats didn’t commit any turnovers and took the ball away from OSU four times, including three interceptions.

“We knew they were going to try and strip the ball from us, that’s what kind of a team they are,” Scott said.

“They live and thrive with turnovers.”

Ka’Deem Carey’s 121 yards on the ground didn’t hurt either, especially since the sophomore only had 27 yards by halftime. Carey had four scores on the night, including a final one-yard dive at the end of the game, securing another victory Saturday for the Pac-12 conference, which toppled three different top-20 opponents.

Turnovers Arizona’s rumble into relevance 2 spark a defensive Zack Rosenblatt resurgence for the UA 0 Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona intercepts three passes, recovers a fumble in victory Cameron Moon Arizona Daily Wildcat

The old adage says offense sells tickets and defense wins championships.

Just two weeks into its season, Arizona might not be anywhere near a championship-caliber team, but its defensive resurgence has made the difference in an unblemished 2-0 record and No. 24 ranking in this week’s AP Top 25.

The Wildcats’ defensive struggles have been well documented. Last season, Arizona had the secondworst pass defense in America and the 110th overall defense in the nation. Arizona’s offense was scoring 30.7 points per game, but the defense was unable to stop anyone, falling so far as to allow 273 rush yards to lowly Colorado, who finished the season 3-10.

This year, the Wildcats have given up a slew of yards, an average of 497 per game, or 111th in the country.

The difference isn’t apparent in third down conversions either, where the Wildcats have given up 18 conversions in 39 attempts, a 46.1 percent clip.

The difference has been Arizona’s ability to take advantage of the opportunities that the offense gives them. In Saturday night’s game against Oklahoma State, the Arizona defense forced four turnovers against a team that had scored 84 points a week ago and scored touchdowns on each of its first five drives.

More importantly, the Wildcats were down 14-0 in Saturday night’s contest less than eight minutes into the game.

“They (the defensive coaching staff) were telling us to wake up and trying to get us fired up,” said sophomore safety Jared Tevis, who had two of Arizona’s three interceptions. “We came out a little flat and we were just telling each

S

aturday night wasn’t supposed to be like this. Arizona was not supposed to beat Oklahoma State, especially not by scoring 59 points in a 21-point victory.

The Wildcats were doomed from the start. The Cowboys were supposed to win.

About three hours before game time, the weather was looking a bit gloomy.

I pulled out my iPhone and asked Siri, “What’s the weather like tonight?”

She told me to wear a raincoat.

By the time the game started, it was pretty clear that the stadium was not at full capacity. About 3,200 people short, to be exact.

To top it all off, Oklahoma State burst out of the gates with two touchdowns on its first two possessions.

In 2011 when Arizona traveled to Stillwater, Okla., the Cowboys scored on three straight possessions and won 37-14. In the Alamo Bowl from two seasons ago, OSU scored on its first two possessions in a 36-10 victory.

Here we go again, everyone thought.

And then something strange happened. Arizona kept its composure and scored 30 — yes, 30 — straight points, never looking back.

It was supposed to be a tough

game, a tough season even.

Instead, the Wildcats find themselves ranked No. 24 in the nation.

“I did talk all week about us trying to make our program relevant,” head coach Rodriguez said. “The best way to do that is beat a ranked team … I think it’s a good step.”

Irrelevancy was the theme of 2011, but Rodriguez has put the Wildcats back on the map, and it’s only week two.

OK, it’s one win against a team that was probably a bit overrated with a true freshman starting at quarterback.

In his post-game press conference, Rodriguez was asked where this win ranks in his coaching career.

“It’s the best win I had here at Arizona,” Rodriguez deadpanned.

After next week’s cupcake against South Carolina State, the Wildcats should be 3-0. That’s one less win then they had in all of last season.

Just looking at Arizona’s remaining schedule, the mind runs wild with the possibilities for this season.

Oregon State, Washington, UCLA, Colorado, Utah and Arizona State are all beatable, and Stanford barely slipped by San Jose State in week one. .

The Wildcats legitimately could win six or seven more games. More realistically, they might win four or

five more.

Five wins for the season was supposed to be an accomplishment.

There is also the possibility of a repeat of 2010, when Arizona upset Iowa and jumped into the top 10 a week later, only to lose 14 of its next 19 games, leading to the firing of former head coach Mike Stoops.

There are still some weak spots on the roster. There is no pass rush (zero sacks against Oklahoma State), Shaquille Richardson is a weak link in the secondary (he gave up at least three passing touchdowns in coverage errors on Saturday) and the linebacker core is a bit undersized and thin.

In the future, Arizona can’t give up 636 yards and 38 points and expect to win. The Wildcats won’t score 59 points every week and the opponent won’t committ 167 penalty yards again either.

But overall, this Wildcats team has already exceeded the wildest of expectations after just two weeks.

If Matt Scott keeps this up, I see no reason why he can’t finish with 4,000 passing yards and close to 1,000 rushing.

Ka’Deem Carey has 273 rushing yards and five total touchdowns.

He’s on pace for 1,638 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns.

Jake Fischer, after missing all of 2011 with an ACL injury, is flying all over the field and has garnered 27 tackles in two games.

On defense, Jared Tevis, Tra’Mayne Bondurant, Marquis Flowers, Jonathan McKnight and even walk-on Sir Thomas Jackson have all made an impact.

Heck, even John Bonano had

other, ‘Bear down and let’s stop this right here. This is where it stops.’”

After some defensive adjustments, Arizona forced a punt or turnover on the next six Oklahoma State possessions, only one of which was longer than three plays.

Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State’s head coach, said after the game that it was not just his players’ fault; the burden also fell on the coaching staff.

“You can’t win, can’t be a good football team and you can’t win on the road, especially, playing like that,” he said.

For all the forced turnovers and defensive stops against the Cowboys’ potent offense, the Wildcats’ defensive line is still a work in progress.

On Saturday night, Oklahoma

State’s offensive line kept Cowboy quarterback Wes Lunt upright the entire game and created holes for Joseph Randle to rush for 123 yards.

Arizona’s defense was not able to tackle Randle behind the line of scrimmage once, and sure, there were way too many wide-open receivers in white jerseys for the defense to be called successful, but the pass rush helped make the biggest play of the night.

With 12:30 remaining in the game and the Oklahoma State offense inside its own 20-yard-line, Lunt felt his first pressure of the night on a blitz from safety Tra’Mayne Bondurant. Lunt was forced into making a bad throw that UA corner Jonathan McKnight easily intercepted and returned 48 yards for

an Arizona touchdown, putting the Wildcats up two touchdowns.

Tevis said that the McKnight picksix got the entire Wildcats roster fired up. That play was the moment Arizona realized it might win this game.

“It was just great seeing him run down that sideline,” Tevis said.

In 2011, Oklahoma State led the nation in turnovers gained, with 44, while the Wildcats had just 16 on the season, 101st in the nation. The tables turned in a big way on Saturday.

“The turnovers were big,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “We made a couple stops but they got a lot of yards, they were going be hard to stop. We gave up way too many big plays but at the same time they made the stops when they had to.”

LARRY HOGAN/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA CORNER Jonathan McKnight celebrates after returning an interception for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Entering Saturday night, the Wildcats were not expected to win against Oklahoma State. After two straight years of blowouts against the Cowboys, Arizona would have been happy just to keep it close.

To start the game, OSU scored two straight touchdowns to jump out to an early 14-0 lead. Then the Cowboys were charged with two 15-yard penalties after a late hit on Matt Scott, and the Wildcats never looked back.

Arizona went on a 30-0 run until the third quarter, in large part due to the dead-eye accuracy of kicker John Bonano. After struggling last week in missing two field goals from within 25 yards, Bonano nailed all three of his field goal attempts against OSU, in addition to six extra points. By the end of the third quarter, the Cowboys brought the score close at 37-31.

Then, cornerback Jonathan McKnight had what head coach Rich Rodriguez called the play of the game on a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown. That put the final nail in the Cowboys’ coffin, and Arizona went on to win by a final score of 59-38.

Now, Arizona finds itself ranked No. 24 in the country as it enters its game against South Carolina State.

JARED TEVIS (left) and Ka’Deem Carey are Tucson natives who graduated from Canyon del Oro high school. On Saturday against the Cowboys, the duo shined. Tevis recorded his first two career interceptions while Carey contributed four touchdowns, three of which came on the ground. Both Carey and Tevis were named players of the week by Arizona coaches for their work against OSU.

I N F O R M A T I O N A N D Basic Facts

F A C T S

• 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.

Volleyball goes 2-1 in Arizona Invitational Emi Komiya Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s volleyball team took on Iona, Lipscomb and TCU at the Arizona Invitational this weekend and won two out of three matches.

The loss came in the Wildcats’ second match-up against TCU in four sets (25-9, 24-26, 20-25, 13-25), while Arizona’s wins came against Iona and Lipscomb.

Despite winning two games, the players’ energy level fluctuated from set to set, causing the team to fall behind and have to work to get back into matches.

“I haven’t been happy actually for a while,” head coach Dave Rubio said. “Despite the fact that we are talented and that we have upper level conference talent, I’m disappointed with our ability to start and finish a game.”

After the invitational, Rubio announced a change in the offensive system. Previously the offense was running on a 5-1 rotation with one setter on the floor. With the offense struggling through all six rotations,

Rubio will switch to a 6-2, with three hitters always available to hit at the net.

“If we go to a 6-2, that means the setter is back row all three rotations and we’ll always have three hitters in the front row,” Rubio said. “That’s going to allow us to spread our offense and take some pressure from the outside hitters. That will hopefully be the cure for us.”

The tournament opened with a Wildcat sweep over Iona on Friday morning in a quick three sets (25-17, 25-14, 25-18). The team was hitting at a high .391 with all hitters producing at the net.

Against TCU, Arizona’s inconsistency issues were more prevalent, as it was beat out 25-9 in the first set and was not able to hang on for the remainder of the match. The team wrapped up the tournament with a sweep over Lipscomb, 3-0 (25-14, 25-17, 25-23).

“I think we need to keep our composure in the third game,” sophomore outside hitter Madi Kingdon said. “Getting everyone together and staying more focused as we go into it, knowing that the third

game isn’t really our strongest at this point.”

Rubio said the lack of consistency in matches is a product of the team’s youth.

“The biggest change that is going to happen to us in our program is when our kids can come into practice on a daily basis and really work hard enough from the start to finish of practice,” Rubio said. “That’ll be the time when we can turn a corner.”

Sophomore opposite Shaquillah Torres had a solid weekend, earning all-tournament honors along with middle blocker Rachel Rhoades.

“I’m definitely working on mentality, not getting down, and being able to help teammates when they’re down,” Torres said.

This week, the Wildcats will be working on improving skill sets in preparation for the new rotation.

Rubio said he will be stressing a stronger, more mature team mentality.

“I told my players this: If you don’t want the moniker of being a young team, then you have to quit acting like one,” Rubio said.

Ben Lee

Matt Dunn

Arizona tennis turns to youngsters for its fall season Evan Rosenfeld Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona men’s tennis team struggled last season, to say the least.

Arizona is looking to some young talent on its roster to aid in its return, in particular freshman Matt Dunn and sophomore Ben Lee. “Matt Dunn is one of the top players in the state of Arizona. He is the best player coming out of Tucson,” head coach Tad Berkowitz said. “He is a good athlete and once he gets in the environment where he can compete with other top competitors, he has the athletic ability to take his tennis to the next level.”

Dunn came to Arizona after winning two MVP titles, being named Team State Champion in 2011 and earning three First Team All-City selections at Salpointe Catholic High School in Tucson.

“I think I bring a different aspect to the team,” Dunn said. “I developed a different game style because I am taller than most guys playing college ball.”

Standing at 6-foot-2, Dunn uses his height to provide a strong serve and cover more ground on the court. Taller tennis players often have an advantage because of the angles at which they can hit the ball.

“I expect the team to do much better than last year,” Dunn said.

“Personally, I want to help the team to finally get that first Pac-12 win.

Hopefully more than one.”

Lee spent last year at Louisiana Lafayette before transferring to the UA. “Lee has a good game. Big game, big serve, big forehand,” Berkowitz said. “Once he is put in the right environment and is at a place where he is always competing, he has the ability to take it up to the next level as well.”

Lee said he wasn’t very fond of his old tennis environment in Louisiana, and is happy to be turning a new page with the Wildcats.

“Arizona completely overshadows Louisiana Lafayette,” Lee said.

“Training on the court feels better this year. I believe my game can really flourish here. I am working towards getting to an elite level this year to help Arizona contend.”

Arizona soccer splits weekend at Sun Devil Desert Classic Wildcats win third game of season in Tempe, Ariz. against Houston Iman Hamdan Arizona Daily Wildcat

Fueled by a loss to No. 10 Pepperdine (5-1-0) last Friday, the Arizona women’s soccer team (3-3-0) defeated Houston (3-4-0) on Sunday by a score of 2-1 in a second-half comeback performance at the Sun Devil Desert Classic in Tempe.

On Friday, the Wildcats looked to upset Pepperdine, but after a strong first quarter from the Waves, it was only about getting on the scoreboard.

“We needed to come out a little harder,” senior defender Alex Smith said. “Our big thing for the team is to win the big five moments, which are the first five minutes of every game, and we didn’t come out with that fire. We dropped off and were constantly chasing the game. Luckily in the last minute we did score, but there just wasn’t enough time to get it all back.”

Arizona only took five shots the first half against Pepperdine, which is the second lowest number of shot attempts in a half for the season.

The second half looked just as bleak for Arizona, but sophomore midfielder Julia Glanz saved the Wildcats from being shut out a second time. Glanz scored her first goal of the season just under the 90th minute of the game off a pass from junior midfielder Ana-Maria Montoya.

“We watched video to correct our mistakes from Friday,” Smith said. “That way each line could understand what was done well and what needed to

“It’s the best win I’ve had here at Arizona,” joked Rodriguez when asked where the win ranks in his career. “Last week’s was nice but this one’s even nicer.”

Oklahoma State started the game off strong, scoring two touchdowns in its first two possessions before eight minutes had even ticked off the clock.

The ease of the Cowboys’ two scores made it seem like the game was going to get ugly, and fast.

But thanks to the heap of penalties

by OSU and some inspired play from the Wildcats’ defense, Arizona scored

be worked on so we could have a good performance for Sunday.”

Even though the Wildcats outshot Houston 11 to 4 with seven shots on goal, the Cougars came out with a 1-0 lead at the end of the first half.

This marked the second highest number of shot attempts by Arizona in a half. The highest number came in its victory against NAU with 12 attempts in each half.

In the second half, freshman forward Hannah Wong took five shot attempts in the opening nine minutes, none of which got past Houston’s goaltender Cami Koski.

But Wong’s persistence paid off when her sixth shot attempt for the game was rebounded by sophomore midfielder/forward Brie DeFelice, finally making it past Koski to tie the game 1-1. It was also DeFelice’s first goal of the season.

The goal sparked the entire team to take action.

“It really lifted us up,” Smith said. “It encouraged us to come out attacking. It made everyone else want to do the same thing.”

In frustration, Houston fouled Arizona about 10 minutes later, giving the Wildcats the opportunity at a penalty kick.

Smith went about her usual routine when taking a penalty kick and launched it right past Koski’s reach.

Not only did Smith score her first goal of the season, but she put Arizona ahead 2-1, capturing another road win for the Wildcats with 24 minutes left in the game.

23 unanswered points (30 extending into third quarter) and had a ninepoint advantage heading into half.

The Arizona defense contained star running back Joseph Randle, who scored 24 touchdowns in 2011, to 65 yards on 13 carries in the first half. Randle finished the game with 123 yards on 23 attempts.

At the start of the second half things looked to be turning in Oklahoma State’s favor after it rolled down the field for another two quick touchdowns, but Scott and the Arizona offense stayed poised and stuck with a prolific Oklahoma State team. “(Scott) is as good of a competitor as I’ve been around,” Rodriguez said. “He’s certainly the key of our

offensive performance.”

The Cowboys also had solid production from their quarterback as Lunt went 37-for-60 for 436 yards on the night. A mistake made early in the fourth quarter by the freshman proved costly for OSU. Arizona, which had no sacks on the night, pressured Lunt on a long third down attempt and the freshman floated a pass to his receiver.

McKnight jumped the throw and made his way down the field untouched for a pick six, officially putting the nail in the coffin for Oklahoma State, which fell out of the top25 after the loss.

“Without question that was the play of the game,” Rodriguez said.

“We’re slowly becoming relevant,” said receiver Austin Hill, whose acrobatic catches have carried Arizona over the past few weeks.

“That was a key word that (coach Rodriguez) always said. We’re gonna become relevant.”

Early-season Top 25 inclusion notwithstanding, the Wildcats aren’t quite relevant at the level Rodriguez

wants them to be (i.e. playing for the Rose Bowl). But Saturday’s win was a step in the right direction.

Murray set to face Djokovic in U.S. Open MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

NEW YORK — There is no roof at the U.S. Open, but there certainly is a ceiling in men’s tennis. Spain’s David Ferrer, the world’s No. 5 player, bumped his head on that upper barrier Sunday, losing to defending champion Novak Djokovic, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, in the storm-delayed semifinal held over from Saturday.

So Monday, Andy Murray will have a go at trying to reach the top rungs of the tennis ladder where, for almost a decade, only Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic have resided.

With his four-set semifinal win over Tomas Berdych completed in the howling winds Saturday afternoon, Murray advanced to his fifth major singles final, where he is 0-for-4.

“Obviously, it’s the last thing I really want to achieve in my career,” Murray said. “It’s very important to me.

Winning the Olympics did take a bit of pressure off; I did feel a lot better after

that, maybe have less doubts about myself and my place in the game now.”

Djokovic, whose five major titles include a decision over Murray in the 2011 Australian Open final, called Murray “one of the complete players in the world right now. We all knew he’s definitely a contender to win a Grand Slam title any year in the last five years.

He’s going to be very motivated. But me, too.”

Murray this year has become “more aggressive,” Djokovic said, “going for the shots more than he used to.

Probably that’s the only thing he was missing from his game.”

Based on Djokovic’s play Sunday, though, Murray will be facing a Michelangelo-like task, trying to do his best work in a most uncomfortable position. Djokovic was razor sharp, acknowledging that he “didn’t mind, trust me” when Open officials suspended his match Saturday with Ferrer leading 5-2.

On Saturday, “Ferrer was coping with the conditions much better than I did,” Djokovic said. “I was a different player (yesterday).”

Though Ferrer quickly served out the postponed first set, Djokovic went on a five-game run made more impressive

by Ferrer’s defensive persistence.

Though Djokovic was credited with hitting 34 winners in the match, that number could have been doubled, given Ferrer’s ability to keep sending back potential point-ending shots. Rallies extended to 24, 25 and 27 strokes, and the punch-and-counterpunch scenario evolved into trading roundhouse blows.

Ferrer, whose No. 5 world ranking somehow doesn’t put him especially close to the top four, wasn’t clear when the English word “gap” was presented to him. But, with a front-row seat to the sport’s power base, he freely admitted that “the last five years, Novak, Andy, Rafael and Federer are better than the other ones.”

WILMA WILDCAT is participating in the Capital One Mascot Challenge, and, along with Ms. Wuf of NC State, will be the first female mascot to appear in the contest.

Wilma competes in Capital One Challenge James Kelley Arizona Daily Wildcat

Forget Obama and Romney, there is one candidate all Arizona fans can get behind.

Arizona mascot Wilma T. Wildcat is competing in the Capital One Mascot Challenge. Last year was the first time an Arizona mascot competed in the challenge, and Wilma’s husband, Wilbur, made it to the final four.

Wilma and Ms. Wuf of North Carolina State are the first female mascots to appear in the mascot challenge.

“This is the first year that they’ve had some girl power,” Arizona cheerleading and mascots adviser Roberta Quiroz said. “So we’re excited about that, we’re hoping to take her at least as far as Wilbur went.”

There are three ways to vote: on capitalonebowl.com, by tweeting #CapitalOneWilma and by liking Wilma on facebook.com/capitalone.

“This year it’s a little different, they don’t have texting to vote, everything’s either Facebook or Twitter or online,” Quiroz said. “We really have to get the voting manpower out through those avenues

… I think texting was a little easier for people to do.”

As of yesterday, Wilma trailed Ms. Wuf 53 percent to 47 in the first round match-up.

“The great thing about that is, for being selected we automatically get $5,000 that we can put in our mascot endowment, which then we are able to pull from and give some scholarship money to our performers,” Quiroz said. “They don’t get paid to do this, it’s all on their own free time.”

Though only Wilbur competed last year, Quiroz said that because Wilbur and Wilma are married, both mascots appeared in the Capital One videos so the Wildcats received double exposure.

“We actually got more bang for our buck,” Quiroz said.

The Capital One Mascot Challenge has been around since 2002 and the past winners were the mascots of Nevada, Old Dominion, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Akron, Washington State, Nebraska, South Carolina and Montana.

Each week the mascots will compete with one another in a round robin format, and the top eight will advance to the playoffs after 12 weeks.

DON’T SMOKE

SLEEP AWAY STRESS

Let’s face it; the rules of “engagement” for the timing of sex in a relationship are confusing and down-right arbitrary. Is it 2 dates, 5, or 10? And what if you’re not even sure if some of those encounters were actual dates to begin with? The better advice is to decide together, but keep in mind you and your partner may

see things differently.

So what does it mean to be “ready” for sex?

This has everything to do with what sex means to you. Does your potential partner need to be a “keeper” or will “good enough” do? In addition to the emotional aspects, are you ready to practice safer sex?

And what about the “willing” part? No matter when you decide to have sex, this one always applies. Consent is sexy – as well as the law – so be sure you get it before you go further, whether it’s a FWB or someone who might be much, much more.

When is an appropriate time to first have sex in a relationship?

A. Short answer: when you’re both ready and willing. Long answer: everyone is on a different timetable when it comes to sex. For some, the hook-up comes first and the relationship builds from there (yes, it’s possible). Others may choose to wait until marriage before having sex (yes, it still happens). Many times, it’s somewhere in between.

REVIEW

Wild Nothing’s new album a worthy attempt

Film Noir Fiction

Face-Off

ALEX WHELAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

No one likes a sophomore slump. For bands, especially bands whose debuts were as well-appreciated as Wild Nothing’s Gemini, the tricky part is writing 10 more songs that hold a candle to your old ones. By that criteria, Wild Nothing truly brings it with Nocturne, a pleasant album filled with sounds that will be both familiar and new to devotees of Gemini and accompanying EP Golden Haze.

The more difficult side of the sophomore slump is convincing fans of the first beloved record that your second album is worth listening to. This is where I struggle with Nocturne, and its worrisome attempt to simply get by on the merits of Gemini.

From the beginning, Wild Nothing mastermind Jack Tatum has been off on his own dream pop plane, eschewing the indie singalongs of Real Estate and foreboding dream-punk of bands like DIIV in favor of bedroom anthems for insomniacs.

“Shadow” starts the record with the gusto of Gemini’s best tracks and proceeds along that path for a full four and a half minutes, yet doesn’t feel overlong due to its speed and hummability.

But for “Paradise” and “Only Heather,” this formula grows tiresome with every subsequent verse and faceless guitar breakdown, the latter only saved by its three impeccable vocal hooks in the span of a 15 second chorus.

The Loft Cinema is showing a classic film noir movie every Thursday night in September. In the spirit of this thrilling theme, and in the style of countdown shows like Adam Richman’s “Best Sandwich In America,” I’m counting down to the best thriller ever written.

Each week in September I’ll eliminate one of the six contenders in a head-to-head battle with another titan of a thriller, and crown the champion from the final three at the end of the month.

Round 1: The Contenders

From my initial list of my six favorite thrillers, I’ve chosen two at random to compete in the first round. They are “The Day of the Jackal” by Frederick Forsyth and “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold” by John Le Carré.

“The Day of the Jackal” The first novel by the incomparable Frederick Forsyth, “The Day of the Jackal” may also be his best. It tells a fictional story based on real events, which are worth going into briefly as an introduction to this excellent book.

In the 1960s, French president Charles de Gaulle ended a bloody war between the French military and its colony in Algeria by granting the nation its independence. A lot of people,

“

Tatum himself seems to have recognized elsewhere on Nocturne the value of experimentation in an increasingly homogenized genre.

Grade: C

East German intelligence. After one of his double agents is murdered, Leamas goes back to London in shambles. He leaves his job, degenerates into drunkenness and even takes a lover from the British Communist Party.

But Leamas is a cagey operator, and when he is recruited by the Soviets to sell his country’s secrets, he may very well be playing a double game, at the center of which is his old enemy Mundt.

Often called the antithesis to the carefree flashiness of James Bond, “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold” is a dark, brooding novel that is nonetheless just as nail bitingly intense as any outing from 007. The almost dreary world of spy-craft presented in this book is much more realistic than Bond’s, and it makes the truly exciting twists and turns all the more rewarding.

There’s a good chance you’ll be truly shocked at the last revelation of everyone’s true loyalties, and moved by the fate of Leamas, the true quintessential British spy.

“The Spy Who Came In From the Cold” John Le Carré is the penname of David Cornwell, a spy in the British espionage community who was not allowed to write under his own name for security reasons. His real experience lends him an absolutely incredible realism that comes out perfectly in “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold,” his third novel.

Alec Leamas is a British spy in West Germany operating against Karlheinz Mundt, the deeply sinister deputy director for operations of

Round 1 winner: “The Day of the Jackal”

This was a tough call, but I’m going to have to give this one to “The Day of the Jackal.” “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold” is a glorious work, but “The Day of the Jackal” moves faster without sacrificing anything in the process. This book still holds the distinction of being the only story to make my heart literally pound while reading the finale, and that is a tough thing to beat.

Suit Up!

“

In no way is this meant to imply that Tatum’s dream pop formula is flawed. His love and commitment to the genre are what made his work prior to Nocturne notable, as evidenced by “Disappear Always,” which displays the same kind of consistent brilliance as “Shadow.” It’s just that ultimately I want to listen to dream pop that builds upon its precedents, rather than imitates them.

Tatum himself seems to have recognized elsewhere on Nocturne the value of experimentation in an increasingly homogenized genre.

Tracks like “Midnight Song” show an attention to loud-quiet dynamics only hinted at on Gemini. This turns what could have been a routinely shimmering dream pop track into one that explodes euphorically every time it reaches its hook. Similarly, the title track uses U2-esque guitar delay to remarkably good effect, giving the song a sense of character.

Overall, the tracks that have some kind of defining musical element, like the flamencopicking of “Through The Grass” or the honest-to-God glam stomp of “This Chain Won’t Break,” go to show the kind of range that Wild Nothing has that just isn’t coming from many of their contemporaries.

It should be interesting to see where exactly Wild Nothing settles down in the canon of new dream pop. I can only hope other fans also pick up on the more groundbreaking sonics found in Nocturne’s best material, promising us more exciting dream pop in the future.

especially members of the military, felt that this was a terrible betrayal after a bloody war for French dominance. Out of this hatred rose the Organization of the Secret Army, or OAS, a terrorist organization made up of disgruntled veterans of the Algerian War that intended to murder de Gaulle and take over the country.

It’s all real history, and it’s this environment that provides the backdrop for Forsyth’s tale.

In the book, members of the OAS decide after a failed assassination attempt on de Gaulle (also a real event) to hire an international hit man. An Englishman, known only as “The Jackal,” takes the job. What follows is an incredibly intricate and gloriously exciting account of an assassination in motion and the attempts of the French security services to stop it.

This tale, one of the greatest cat and mouse stories ever penned, is not hindered at all by the fact that history tells us de Gaulle was never assassinated.

Getting a job requires more than good grades; you have to look the part TERESA ALTONAGA Arizona Daily Wildcat

As college students, we all learn important skills during these four years, whether it’s choosing our major, figuring out who we are as a person or discovering how to deal with stress. But let’s face it: the main reason we’re here is to learn the skills we need to support ourselves in a lifelong career.

One of the keys to landing your dream career is wearing appealing interview attire, which will send the right message to your potential employer from the start. Very few classes on campus teach students what they should wear to a job interview. Although the idea seems simple, because there are so many different types of majors, the concept might be more complicated than it appears.

Depending on your major, you may have the opportunity to wear whatever you want to a job interview, or you may have to wear a tailored suit.

For example, the College of Fine Arts includes majors such as art history, theater, studio art, photography and visual communications. “If you are a

theater major, the clothing you Corrigan, a career coach with Eller, should wear to an audition is all emphasized professionalism when black,” said Jeffrey Warburton, an dressing for an interview for the associate professor in the School of general business industry. “I would say Theatre, Film and Television.

Institute. “When you get the job you get to wear scrubs and goggles, but that is only once you have the position you applied for.”

Men are expected to dress with a tie and a clean button-up shirt and women should wear conservative attire to any science-related field interview.

It is always important to understand the company you are interviewing for before going to a job interview. By understanding the nature of the company, you understand how to act and what to wear at the interview.

The first impression you give your employer is one of the most important determinants of whether you will receive the job and launch your career — and your clothing is one of the biggest aspects of a first impression. “60% of your chances of getting hired are based on your first impression, and the next 40% are based on your skills,” Warburton said.

Because clothing is an art and a way to express yourself, it is important to express your desire, hard-working nature and knowledge of the job ahead of you through your attire at your job interview.
