Faculty forum calls for transparency By Will Ferguson and Shain Bergan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Though several different voices were heard in the faculty forum Wednesday at the Student Union Memorial Center, they all seemed to agree on at least one issue: President Robert Shelton and Pro-

vost Meredith Hay are leaving the rest of the university in the dark on the UA transformation. “This administration has done a terrible job at transparency,” said Lynn Nadel, chair of the Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee. “Robert (Shelton) is a good listener. He just doesn’t always hear, apparently.”

The lack of communication between faculty and the administration has led many faculty members to believe that Shelton and Hay are more concerned with obtaining federal funding and grants than maintaining the overall academic excellence of the university. History professor Ute Lotz-Heumann said the administration is intentionally

driving a wedge between the departments that are taking a 7 percent budget cut and those departments taking a 2 percent cut.“I wouldn’t be protesting the administration’s actions if my department had taken a 2 percent cut,”she said. Other faculty members echoed LotzHeumann’s concern that the budget may be driving the UA apart.

UMC’s Labor Day less bloody

“No one is denying that the university is facing serious budget issues,” said Wanda Howell, a faculty chair on the shared governance committee. “Right now we definitely need money. Unfortunately this need has twisted the value structure we are operating on.” The group also explored the possibility FORUM, page 6

Susan Knoll, a medical technologist at the University Medical Center, looks through the depleted supply of donor blood at the UMC blood bank on Tuesday, Sep 8. The small supply of blood is partially due to regular trauma from Labor Day weekend but also because not enough people donate blood regularly.

By Angel Allen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Holiday weekends, although fun, tend to be busy for hospitals dealing with accidents from increased drinking and road traffic. But for University Medical Center, this Labor Day weekend was surprisingly uneventful. According to UMC officials, accidents and demand for transplant organs over the holiday weekend can lead to a dangerous drop in blood bank supplies. However, Katherine Winebar, senior medical technologist in the pathology lab at UMC, said this year showed an unusual turnaround, as demand went down

and supplies stayed up. “We couldn’t believe what a nice weekend we had,” she said. A total of 206 units, about 32 gallons, were given in those four days, a much smaller number than UMC pathologists said they were expecting. Usually, Winebar said, there are traumas that result in victims needing blood transfusions and organ transplants. But, she added, during the fourday weekend UMC did not perform any trauma-related transplants, which she described as an especially difficult part of the medical profession. “Someone receives life, and someone loses life,” she said. “That’s the long and short of it.”

It can take several days for blood to be available for use from the time it is donated due to cautionary medical screening for infectious diseases. Platelets only have a shelf life of five days, so it is very important to have continuous donors, said Susan Knoll, a medical technologist in the pathology lab at UMC. “We can’t wait till we need it,”she said. Knoll added that the types of trauma that use the most blood are from ATV and car accidents, gunshot wounds and car accidents involving pedestrians. Organ transplants also use a great deal of blood.

ASUA defends exec spending By Michelle Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ASUA officials laid to rest concerns raised last night by Associated Students of the University of Arizona senators about executive spending. ASUA allocates thousands of dollars to executive operations accounts used by the president, administrative vice president and executive vice president,

according to budgets obtained by the Arizona Daily Wildcat. This year the amount agreed upon for the executive operations accounts was $7,000, a $2,000 cut from last year’s budget. Senator Daniel Wallace raised doubts at recent ASUA meetings about this amount of money being in the hands of only three people, its use, and the checks and balances used to handle

these accounts. Clifton Harris, ASUA treasurer, said the amount is not exorbitant and has historically been an appropriate limit for the executives. The total monies allocated represents only two percent of the total funds in ASUA’s budget. “These accounts, particularly this year, will be necessary because we

• Get a good night’s sleep. • Eat a good breakfast or lunch. • Drink extra water and fluids to replace the volume you will donate, but avoid caffeinated beverages. • Eat iron-rich foods to boost your iron level. • Avoid fatty foods. Tests for infections done on donated products can be affected by fatty materials. • If you are an automated donor, get plenty of calcium-rich foods and drinks for a few days prior to your donation. • If you are a platelet donor, remember that your system must be free of aspirin for two days prior to donation.

Students concerned over recent tuition increases gathered last night to discuss new legislation that could alleviate financial pressures on students. More than 100 people attended Arizona Students’ Association’s kickoff event, “Take Back Education!” in the Student Union Memorial Center. The group focused on the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, currently being debated in Congress, which would give financial aid and grants to students without raising taxes directly. “(This) was the kickoff event to get students engaged in the upcoming financial aid campaign, SAFRA,”said Chris Nagata, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. Similar events were simultaneously held at Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University to raise awareness about the upcoming financial aid campaign. “What we need to do is make students realize tuition has been going up severely in the past year,” said Nicole Pasteur, student director at ASA. SAFRA would be “one of the largest investments in financial aid the country has ever seen,”said David Martinez, UA campus organizer with ASA. Approximately 130 students, many of whom were freshmen, attended the event, which surpassed ASA’s expectation of about 100, said Elma Delic, student director at ASA. Some students said they are definitely feeling the impact of the recent tuition increases. “I’m an Arizona Assurance scholar,” said political science freshman Ashley Robinson. “It’s hard for my family to pay for me to come to school, and with the increase I have had to pay more.” ASA has until Oct. 15, when SAFRA’s fate will be decided, to raise awareness about the campaign. “Having tuition go up twice in one year is outrageous,” Pasteur said. “It’s really important for students at the UA to know they have a voice and the power to mobilize and make changes for the bettering of higher education.”

Dog named Bullet recovers from shooting wounds

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 2-yearold yellow Labrador mix is recovering at a Kansas City shelter after being shot four times. Workers at Wayside Waifs have dubbed him Bullet . Waifs spokeswoman Ashlee Parker said Bullet was found several weeks ago in Caldwell County, shot once in the

head, once in each front shoulder and once in the neck. The Kansas City Star reported that the Cameron-based rescue group Safe Haven took in the dog, paid for his treatments and nursed him mostly back to health. Parker said Bullet still has some pain in one of his shoulders

NEW YORK — President Barack Obama called Walter Cronkite “a voice of certainty in a world that was growing more and more uncertain.” Speaking at a memorial service for the legendary newsman, Obama acknowledged he hadn’t known Cronkite personally, “but I have benefited as a citizen from his dogged

pursuit of the truth.” Obama’s remarks concluded a gathering Wednesday of dignitaries, journalists, family and friends at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall to honor Cronkite, who died July 17 at age 92. Obama lamented commercial and competitive pressures that threaten journalistic standards Cronkite championed. “But if we realize that the kind of journalism he embodied will not simply rekindle itself as part of the natural cycle, but will come alive only if we stand up and demand it,” Obama said he was convinced “the golden days of journalism still lie ahead.” Cronkite was celebrated as a man of the sea almost as much as a newsman. Jimmy Buffett sang“Son of a Son of a Sailor”for his sailing buddy Cronkite. But before performing his classic song, Buffett shared a memory of seeking some advice for a mutual friend, the late “60 Minutes” correspondent Ed Bradley. After a sail, “the sun was down, the rum was out, and I said, ‘Walter, Ed called me and he’s thinking about wearing an earring on ‘60 Minutes.’” Buffett said Cronkite responded: “It doesn’t matter if he wears an earring, as long as it’s a good story.” Then Cronkite added impishly: “If I was going to wear an earring on ‘60 Minutes,’ I’d wear one of those big, long, dangly ones.” — The Associated Press

Mosaic project to launch improved IT network Part one of a two-part series

By Michelle Monroe Arizona Daily Wildcat The long-awaited campus-wide information technology overhaul known as the Mosaic project is finally nearing completion — at least in part. In the coming months, much of the behindthe-scenes computing that allows an enormous and complex institution like the UA to function will be updated to meet the demands of a university in the 21st century. In part one of a twopart series, the Arizona Daily Wildcat examines the changes university employees can expect to see. Check back tomorrow for information regarding changes for students. Get ready, UA employees: you’re in for a raise. A more efficient payroll processing system is just one of the advances that UA employees can expect to see as a result of the new information technology infrastructure known as the Mosaic project. New software for employees will open Sept. 28. Payroll, benefits and time recording are all systems that will be affected by the change. “(The UA is) one of the few univer-

sities in the United States that has not upgraded its system, so that puts us at a competitive disadvantage,” said Kay Beasock, manager of organizational communications for Mosaic. “Our current system is really old,” Beasock said. “We have to do a lot of manual work because of the lack of effective integration with these systems.” After 20 years with the current system, it’s time for an update, added Tom Bourgeois, co-director of student administration for Mosaic. PeopleSoft, the new software, is one of the leading software providers for universities, said Hank Childers, Mosaic project director. Both Northern Arizona University and Arizona State University use this system. After the system goes online, employees will see immediate changes including a new look for paychecks starting Oct. 9. Personnel information, payroll and benefits are three systems that work together and must go live at the same time, said John Wilson, campus community team leader in the Department of Institutional IT Applications. One visible change is that there is a new system for recording time,

Childers said. Instead of filling out paperwork, managers will enter their employees’ times electronically. Payroll changes will be visible to employees via the amounts on their paychecks due to new methods for implementing withholding and other deductions, he said. “Someone with $532.35 on his or her regular check might get $532.80 on the next,”he said.“It will be small but visible.” Another change will be that the UA will no longer print direct deposit advices, which Childers said is a source of considerable paper waste. The system is geared toward using less paper, but will also be more efficient and should work better overall, said Susan Silverberg Koerner, a family and consumer sciences professor and an overseer of student employees in her college. Beasock agreed. “When people get hired there’s usually a day or so lag that happens when all the systems finally get the information,” she said. “One of the things we’ve spent some money on, is changing employment status so the systems can respond more effectively and quickly.”

BLOOD continued from page 1

UA donations often returned to students

said she’s seen a patient take as many as 50 units of blood. “We can go through 20 units easily,” Winebar said. “This Labor Day was not a typical holiday weekend.” Winebar attributed the low blood demand to the work of the Tucson Police Department. “Cop cars were cruising the streets all over the place. I know they had several alcohol checkpoints,” she said. The Southern Chapter of the American Red Cross is the blood supplier for UMC. Blood from students who donate on campus will most likely end up at UMC, Winebar said. She added that much of this blood finds its way back into students, mostly due to car accidents. Caroline Coppinger, a biochemistry freshman, donated at a blood drive on campus last week. She said she donates blood as often as she can — every eight weeks for a donation of whole blood — because it’s easy and can be a deciding factor in trauma situations. “Blood is a renewable resource,” she said. “I can always make more of it. Donating is painless and it saves lives. It bewilders me that more people aren’t willing to give an hour of their time to save someone else’s life.”

EDITORIAL Faculty forum a promising start, but marred by low attendance

Yesterday’s faculty forum at the Student Union Memorial Center seems to be just what the doctor ordered, a chance for faculty to hash out their fears and concerns in the daylight. As the difficult UA transformation process continues, and some faculty have anonymously taken to the blogosphere in protest, it is evident more open-air conversations are needed to, if nothing else, give vent to some of the steam building up around campus. But with only about 80 faculty members attending out of more than 1,500 total, yesterday’s meeting was little more than a good start. While the conversation may have been robust, faculty governance leaders who organized the event complained about low attendance, and rightfully so. It’s evident from the conversations at the forum that there is real concern and confusion swirling around the transformation. But if faculty truly wants to send a message to the administration, they’ll pack in the crowds at the next meeting and maybe violate some fire codes. We’re not advocating town hall style mayhem, but President Robert Shelton and Provost Meredith Hay may feel more inclined to bend an ear to faculty grievances if the Kiva Room is standing room only.

‘Bridgification’: A perplexing name for a laudable student government effort

We applaud members of ASUA and GPSC in their attempt this semester to heal some of the old rifts between the two student governing bodies. The two organizations, by their leaders’ own admissions, share a colorful history of sniping that, while entertaining, is counterproductive to representing a student body faced with crippling budget cuts. GPSC President Dave Talenfeld and ASUA President Chris Nagata have both pledged to keep the lines of communication open and include each group in a number of the other’s events and initiatives. We hope Talenfeld and Nagata follow through and find meaningful ways for ASUA and GPSC to collaborate in ways that benefit the entire campus. However, what isn’t acceptable is their name for this new détente,“bridgification.” That’s not even a word. Google it. You’ll find our article on the topic pops up first. Not that we object to creativity. We did look up “bridge” in an online thesaurus hoping to invent something better, but came up short. So far all we have in the way of synonyms is“trestle-ification,” “link-ification,”“catwalk-ification,”and gangplank-ification.” Anyway, good idea, weird name. Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat opinions board and written by one of its members. They are Shain Bergan, Alex Dalenberg, Samantha Luvisi and Heather Price-Wright.

Online Roundup Online readers dinged columnist Rachel Leavitt this week for Tuesday’s column, “Teaching Kids Not To Listen,” which addressed the uproar over President Barack Obama’s same-day address to the nation’s schoolchildren. Readers pointed out that Leavitt’s column cited an article from The New York Times which misquoted political commentator Mark Steyn accusing Obama of trying to create a “cult of personality” comparable to Saddam Hussein or Kim Jong-Il. The New York Times corrected itself the same day Leavitt’s column ran in the Daily Wildcat. Regardless, readers took notice. According to The Times’ correction, Steyn said he wasn’t accusing the president of a “cult of personality on the kind of Kim Jong-il, Saddam Hussein scale,” or comparing the dictators directly to Obama. Perhaps it would be a bit more credible to qualify exactly what Mark Steyn said about Obama which you “quoted” with the caveat “according to the New York Times.” That does not excuse the laziness of not fully stating what any reasonable researcher would do before simply quoting a notorious rag like the Grey Lady. Moreover, what is the issue with listening or not listening to Obama on school issues? To suggest that parents who do not want their children to hear what the president has to say about schooling are somewhat lacking in intelligence is patent nonsense. How many of the darlings you hold dear permitted their children to line up for a Bush speech? — Gerald Langlois “Gerald. Don’t play stupid. You know, as the NYT’s did (but sadly retracted what they knew to be true) that Steyn was bringing up those two particular personas in order to instill fear and have people connect our President with their names and agendas.” This is asinine. The author clearly lifted the assertion against Steyn from the NYT. Even the NYT won’t stand by it. And yet, some partisans still cling to it. Try obtaining the transcript of the broadcast and listen to it. That’s not likely to happen, because that would involve actual research (journalism), instead of dwelling in an echo chamber.

MAILBAG

Stallworth’s transgression just as reprehensible as Vick’s

I am writing in regards to William Wilson’s letter from the mailbag the other day (Mailbag, Sept. 9, 2009) concerning Michael Vick’s reinstatement in the NFL. Yes, Vick ran a dogfighting ring, and participated in executing some of the dogs. That is reprehensible and I’m not trying to defend it. However, Donté Stallworth, while driving drunk, killed a human being! Vick served a year and a half in prison, while Stallworth served a mere 24 days before being released. Meanwhile, he is set for reinstatement in the NFL after the 2009 season and the Super Bowl. Dismissing Stallworth’s transgression as an isolated event is ignorant. We can’t, in any certainty, say that we know whether or not Stallworth drove drunk regularly or not. Driving while intoxicated carries the capacity for killing an innocent person as well as yourself. Stallworth knew this, and without regard for anyone’s safety, decided to flout the law and do an incredibly stupid thing. How is this any less terrible than what Vick did? You might say it has to do with intent, but that would be a cop-out. If someone fired a gun into a crowd indiscriminately and killed someone, but cited that he didn’t intend to hit anyone, you would still find him guilty. Drunk driving should be treated similarly. I agree that what Vick did was terrible, but as Mr. Wilson pointed out, Vick served his debt to society. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to return to the NFL? After all, it is a business; Vick performs a task that the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles believes is worth the amount they pay him, and they most likely will earn a profit from it. If he errs again, he most likely will not be returning to the NFL. Give Vick a second chance before dismissing his contrition as insincere. Andrew Seaton International studies junior

Another side to the Israel/ Palestine debate

In last Wednesday’s issue of the Daily Wildcat appeared two different columns (“Israel/Palestine: the ‘Robin Hood’ of international law” by Gabriel Schivone and “Israel/Palestine: the flaw in international law” by Dan Sotelo, Sept. 2, 2009) commenting on the miscarriage of international law against Ezra Nawi, a Jewish proArab activist. According to Supreme Court Judge Esther Hayut, “the security services see Nawi as a supporter of Hamas activity … ” (IsraelNationalNews.com). Both

articles failed to mention that some think Nawi has had ties to supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization. To me, it seems as if Nawi isn’t as innocent as Schivone and Sotelo describe. Although both articles look at Nawi’s case in two different ways, both writers focus on international law in the Middle East and suggest that an injustice was served against Nawi because the Israeli government tore down a home built illegally. However, the Israeli government’s actions weren’t only based on legal issues, but also for security purposes. In the same article from B’Tselem that Schivone uses to criticize the U.S. for supplying Israel with the use of material support for “strategic weapons”, former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is quoted as saying,“the system is to smuggle through tunnels, and these tunnels are deep … Israel has to take all the necessary steps to stop the smuggling of weapons” (B’tselem’s Policy of Destruction, February 2002). Unfortunately, Palestinian extremists associate themselves with terrorist organizations like Hamas. Weapons smuggling is the main resource terrorists have to gain access to weapons and explosives used to kill innocent Israelis, which includes Jews, Muslims and Christians. It is because of these Palestinian terrorists that their own people have to watch their homes be taken from them, especially in this area where there is a lot of terrorist activity. Any country would take precautions like these to protect their people, and Israel is no exception. In addition, Mr. Sotelo’s article compares “the struggle of the Palestinian minority” to the African American Civil Rights movement, claiming that once the majority of Israeli citizens (the Jews) incorporate with the minority (the Arabs), the Palestinians will achieve their civil rights. Both Mr. Schivone and Sotelo describe the poor and inhuman treatment of the Palestinians; yet fail to mention some key facts. Firstly, Arabs, which includes the Palestinian population, are treated better in the democratic state of Israel than most other Arab countries. Secondly, there is no similarity between the way African Americans were treated in America and the way Arabs are treated in Israel. African Americans were used as slaves, and until the time of the Civil Rights movement, couldn’t vote in an election, among many other indignities. Arabs are not a minority with limited rights in Israel. In fact, Arabs have many political parties that are involved in the Knesset. And Arabs have the right to vote in every election Israel holds. Finally, the two authors describe the Palestinians as a

people who are treated so poorly by the Israeli army. According to Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “Since the end of the IDF operation in Gaza (Jan. 18, 2009), about 479,535 tons of aid and over 68,932,000 liters of fuel have been delivered to the Gaza Strip. Just last week (Aug. 23–29), almost twelve thousand tons of humanitarian aid were transferred to the Gaza Strip (http:// www.mfa.gov.il). And Sotelo claims that the Israelis need to work with the Palestinians to improve their lifestyles? I think that Israel goes out of its way to try to help the Palestinian people as much as they can without putting the rest of the citizens of Israel in harm’s way of terrorism.

A cyclist’s dream

As I ride on to the University of Arizona campus on my 1984 Nishiki every morning of my student-routined life, I absolutely appreciate the scenic bike path in between Koffler and the science library. I love the paved “bike” road, designated as such with a ‘Bike Route’ sign, along with two-way-traffic yellow dashes on the street. It makes me feel special, as every cyclist does when they’re allowed their own path system that doesn’t involve cars. I also can’t dismiss the magnificent cement-paved mall street that exists on our wonderful campus, from Park Avenue to Cherry Avenue. Oh, how I look forward to not having to avoid potholes and giant, gas-guzzling trucks. But it is not so magical when you have college students pacing to class, on their phones, usually walking side by side, right in the middle of said bike paths. As I ride down the Highland path in the morning, I love how students seem too tired to notice they’re walking right on the bike route, with no care in the world, yelling at me because I tried to avoid their shoulder. I do have a dream. Oh yes, a cyclist’s dream. Of a phantasmal place where pedestrians remain on the edges of bike paths, or even on their own designated ‘No Bicycles’ roads. I have a dream off a place where I can ride freely, without having to run over flip flops when someone suddenly realize that “oncoming traffic” doesn’t always mean cars. Will the cyclist’s dream ever come true? Elisa Meza English sophomore

As of Tuesday, Sept. 1, filming for Nadya Suleman’s reality television show kicked off. If the name Nadya Suleman doesn’t sound familiar, the nickname given to her by the media probably does: “Octomom.” Octomom, as most of us probably already know, is the single mom from California who gave birth to octuplets in January, thanks to in vitro fertilization. With her six other children, her octuplets brought her litter to 14. Suleman, in a CNN interview, said that she feels “… as though I’ve been under the microscope because I’ve chosen this unconventional kind of life. I didn’t intend on it being unconventional. It just turned out to be.All I wanted … was

to be a mom. That’s all I ever wanted in my life.” Looking at similar famous households with many children — John and Kate Plus 8, Sixteen and Counting (or whatever number they are on now) — the extremes in positive and negative press they all have generated leaves questions about our own fascination with multiple children. Are we as octo-crazy too? I’d like to hear from you on this one, because I, for one, can’t turn my head away. — Arianna Carter is a junior majoring in creative writing.

‘Pepsi and corn syrup’ lead to MIP

University of Arizona Police Department officers observed what appeared to be an intoxicated woman sitting on a curb at 822 E. Fifth St. on Sept. 3 at 12:50 a.m. Officers made contact with the underage female who exhibited several indicators of intoxication, including bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech and the strong odor of intoxicants coming from her mouth and body. According to the woman, she had not been drinking anything other than Pepsi and corn syrup. Police cited the woman on charges of being a minor in possession and released her at the scene.

Traffic stop digs up bevy of warrants

UAPD officers on routine traffic patrol of Speedway Boulevard observed a white Ford Explorer traveling eastbound at a high speed on Sept. 3 at 1 a.m. Using radar, officers were able to confirm the vehicle’s speed at 57 mph in a 35 mph zone. Officers followed the vehicle and saw the vehicle drift out of its lane, causing another car to swerve. Officers activated their emergency signals and made contact with the driver and his passenger near Cherry Avenue. Officers asked the driver to provide his license, registration and proof of insurance, which he did. According to police, before they were able to ask any questions, the driver admitted that his license was suspended. Officers also noticed a strong odor of intoxicants inside of the vehicle. Police asked the driver to step out, at which point he started to become upset. Officers then asked the man to submit to field sobriety tests. The man then became so verbally abusive and agitated that officers were forced to restrain him for his own safety. A records check of the driver confirmed that his license was suspended and also revealed several outstanding warrants. The driver was eventually administered a breath test which revealed a blood alcohol content between .143 and .158. The man was cited on charges of DUI, extreme DUI, driving on a suspended license, and possession of an open container in a vehicle. He was transported to Pima County Jail and the vehicle was impounded for a mandatory 30-day period.

Passenger in the wrong vehicle at the wrong time

During a traffic stop on Sept. 3 at 1:02 a.m., officers were questioning the passenger of a vehicle driven by a man who was in police custody for driving under the influence. The man provided police with a driver’s license which identified him as the driver’s brother. A records check revealed that the man had an outstanding warrant for disorderly conduct issued by the Marana Police Department. According to police, the passenger also appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and officers observed an open can of Bud Light beer and an empty bottle of Captain Morgan rum in the passenger area of the vehicle. The man was not cited for possession of an open container in a vehicle, but was placed into custody and transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked for the outstanding warrant.

Employee finds mystery powder on campus

UAPD officers met with a university employee at Old Main on Sept. 3 at 7:12 a.m. in reference to what the employee believed was a container of narcotics that had been discovered. According to the employee, she had been walking in the area of Park Avenue and University Boulevard when she noticed the container. She picked it up and immediately notified UAPD. According to police, the container was a small bag filled with a white, powdery substance with a total weight of 7.3 grams. Police have no leads as to who the owner of the bag is. The alleged narcotic was placed into police property until it can be properly disposed of.

Male student charged with shoplifting Sharpies

UAPD officers were dispatched to the UofA Bookstore on Sept. 3 at 12:15 p.m. in reference to a man in the custody of bookstore security. According to security, the man entered the store and walked to the clothing department, where he picked up a sweatshirt. He then walked to the supplies section, where he grabbed a handful of Sharpie markers and placed them into his backpack. The man then picked up several more items before he proceeded to the register area. At the register, the man paid for several items and then exited the store with the markers still in his backpack. Bookstore security was able to provide police with a copy of the surveillance video and a receipt for the items the man allegedly shoplifted. According to police, the man, identified as a student, admitted to leaving the store without paying for the markers. The man was cited on charges of shoplifting less than $1,000 and was released at the scene.

Is that a paint container in your pants, or … ?

Officers responded to the UofA Bookstore on Sept. 3 at 7:52 p.m. in reference to a shoplifter in bookstore custody. Upon arrival, officers met with a bookstore employee who told them that the suspect in custody had placed two paint containers in his pants and then left the store before being detained and brought back for questioning. The employee told police that a copy of the surveillance video would be available the following day and provided police with a receipt for the value of the paint containers. According to police, the suspect was identified as a minor and a student at the university. The suspect admitted to placing the paint containers into his pants and leaving the store and claimed he did so because he had no money to pay for them. The suspect’s father was notified while the suspect was transported to the First Street UAPD station and placed into custody. Before being released to the custody of his father, the suspect was cited on charges of shoplifting less than $1,000.

Faculty suggest no confidence vote ‘wrong thing to do right now’

UA faculty members assemble for an open forum Wednesday in the SUMC. The forum, which did not include members of the central administration or any college deans, invited faculty to ask questions and express opinions on issues such as budget cuts and the UA Transformation.

Regents Professor John Ulreich agreed, adding, “The worst Find a new one in the case scenario would be to hold a vote of no confidence among Wildcat Classifieds! the faculty and then lose.” While many in attendance expressed doubt as to whether or not a vote of no confidence would be effective, nearly everyone was in favor of conducting an online poll on how to address the funding crisis. The faculty in attendance also felt that a clearer set of criteria regarding prevention of future cuts was necessary.

However, some faculty said, the administration’s inability to involve the leaders of the academic community in the decision making process is unacceptable. “We have to hold the administration’s feet to the fire to get the faculty engaged in financial matters,” Nadel said. Christopher Maloney, head of the philosophy department, said the single most important issue to address is tuition. “We have to find an efficient way to distribute tuition dollars,”he said. Several faculty members argued that a higher level of participation in faculty government is needed for the administration to address their concerns. “We can’t make the case to have a larger role in the decision making process with only 12 percent participation in faculty government,”Howell said. However, others pointed out that unless the administration will listen to the faculty gover-

nance that is already in place, an increase in involvement would not change anything. “It’s difficult for the faculty to get involved, because when they do, they can’t help make the big decisions,” said associate professor of English Amy Kimme Hea. Eighty members of the faculty — out of 1,500 total at the UA — showed up to the meeting in the Kiva Room of the SUMC. Faculty members agreed that that number must grow so that Shelton and Hay will start taking the staff’s concerns more seriously.“I’m disappointed at the total number of people here,”Nadel said. Overall, the faculty seemed to agree that they should not back down without a fight. “Budget cuts are not something you can duke out with the provost,” Howell said. “I’m frustrated with the notion that because we can’t get what we want, we should give up. I don’t work like that.”

2009 captains take reins Coaches

Senior Cam Nelson puts a friendly arm around cornerback Devin Ross during a Sept. 5 practice. Along with three of his teammates, Nelson was named team captain earlier is week, an honor bestowed upon him by a team vote.

By Bobby Stover Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona’s football team officially announced the 2009 team captains earlier this week. Seniors Terrell Turner, Earl Mitchell and Cam Nelson — along with junior Colin Baxter — will be calling the coin toss throughout the season. But according to Turner, he may be taking the majority of the pregame duties. “I picked it (Saturday) and we got the luck,” said Turner, adding that he will try and go 12-0 on callinghe coin toss. While his fellow captains may have something to say about that, the real honor of being named a team captain is shared. The coaching staff has the final say

on who the team’s captains are, but in this case, it was the vote from their fellow teammates that meant the most to the four players selected. “It felt so good that my teammates would see me as a team captain and would want me to go out and represent our team and our university out on that field,”Turner said of his teammates voting him as a captain. “I was always self motivated, but now as a team captain I have to (be both a player and a leader) and help get those guys motivated before the game and keep their composure as well on the field.” The group of captains has proven their worth through their vast playing experience. They have tallied 95 total starts. Turner is the only captain who didn’t

Thirty Icecats named to roster By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat A week of tryouts and 30 filled roster spots later, Icecats head coach Leo Golembiewski has decided who will sport the red, white and blue for the Icecats this season. Golembiewski chose 17 forwards, 10 defensemen and three goalies. “I thought it was a great tryout,” Golembiewski said. “We’ve added some significant firepower to our team.” The Icecats have added a host of new players. In fact, the 2009-2010 Icecats will feature only 10 returning players: Jordan Schupan, Geordy Weed, Nick Taylor, Nick Bach, Austin Capobianco, Zach Cherney, Brady Lefferts, Alex Dunning, Micah Kneeshaw and Blake Richards. Last year’s captains Nick Boddy, Matt Conover, Robbie Nowinski and Zach Stommen have all departed, with the biggest loss being goaltender Boddy. Golembiewski isn’t dwelling on the past but rather looking toward the future. “We’ve lost goalies before,” Golembiewski said. “It’s a big loss and it’s our biggest question mark, but we have added some significant players offensively and defensively.” Junior forward Schupan is well aware of the absence of some key players, but he too is optimistic about the new talent. “We definitely lost some key guys, some guys that you’re not going to be able to replace,” Schupan said. “But we do have a lot of new guys coming in that look like they are going to contribute right away.” While the Icecats have a wide array of new players, they did retain three of the top four point scorers from last season: Schupan, Capobianco and Lefferts. With their leadership, the Icecats hope for big things. “Me and a couple of guys have to step up this year and take on that leadership role and point this team in the right direction,”Schupan said. The Icecats are skating confidently into the 2009 season. “Our number one goal is to make it to nationals,” Schupan said. “That’s just going to take everyone on the team to get together to reach that common goal.”

start every game of the 2008 season — he started all but one game at wide receiver. Head coach Mike Stoops said he is comfortable and confident in his players’ choice of captains. “These are some great guys and they’ll do a good job,” Stoops said. “Anything we do and everywhere we go, they’re the spokesmen of the team.” Other than the representation aspect of being a team captain, the players were also selected due to their aggressive nature as players. Nelson has gained a reputation as a hard hitter in the Arizona secondary, while Baxter said he naturally plays with some grit due to his position on the offensive line. Turner said if there was a single leader

on the team Baxter, only a junior, would be the guy. “I guess I’ve got that reputation,” Baxter said of being known for his violent style of play. “That’s a good thing too. As an offensive lineman you have to (have an aggressive style of play).” The offensive guard has started nearly every game he’s played at Arizona — 24 coming into 2009 — and has already solidified his role as a leader on the offensive line. As far as letting Turner take every coin toss, Baxter is more than happy to pass off that duty. “Hey, more power to him,” Baxter said. “I’m not a big ‘talk to the refs’ kind of guy, so that’s not a problem with me.”

No big names, no size and minimal starting experience; this season’s linebacker class could have been a disaster for Arizona football, a program that has produced NFL stars like Tedy Bruschi, Antonio Pierce and Lance Briggs. But this group of linebackers has already shown that it has the potential to be one of the best units in school history. “I’m proud of all three of them getting off to a good start,” said linebacker coach Tim Kish. “They’re hard workers, and we raise the bar pretty high for those guys and we’re hoping that we just get that continued improvement each week.” Out of the trio of seniors — Xavier Kelley, Sterling Lewis and Vuna Tuihalamaka — only Tuihalamaka stands taller than 6 feet, but all three use their above-average speed to make up for what they lack in size. “The one thing they can do is they can run things down,”Kish said.“You’ve got to learn how to play fast. It isn’t just your 40-yard speed and that type of thing, you’ve got to know how to play fast and that’s just by understanding what’s going on in front of you and being able to react. All three of them passed the test the first game.” The starters displayed their speed against Central Michigan on Saturday, when they combined for 15 tackles and put relentless pressure on CMU quarterback Dan LeFevour. Tuihalamaka led the Wildcats with 10 tackles and an interception, but it was his leadership that set him apart from the rest of the group. LINEBACKERS, page 8

Volleyball off to Santa Clara By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat No. 25 Arizona volleyball takes its perfect season on the road to Santa Clara, Calif., in a midweek battle at the Santa Clara Invitational. The Wildcats (6-0) will first face the host Santa Clara Broncos (4-2) in a 7 p.m. match today before taking on the Utah Utes (5-2) at the same time Friday. Although both teams made the NCAA tournament last year, they have tripped up early this season. After losing their first two matches of the year, the Broncos dropped out of the AVCA Coaches Poll; they had been slated at No. 25. The Utes, who were picked to win the Mountain West Conference in 2009, are also out of the poll after falling victim to Utah Valley and Washington State. Arizona hit the gym to work on effort and efficiency after a weekend of lackadaisical play. “Going on the road again, we’re excited,” said defensive specialist Alanna Resch.“We know what we have to do this weekend and we’re anxious to Alan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Costly choice: Athlete talks DUI By Tyler Kurbat Arizona Daily Wildcat It’s been said time and again — learn from your mistakes. But this time, learn from hers. Then 21-year-old Sarah Panzau survived a 2003 accident that would take her arm and almost her life. While driving, her blood alcohol content was more than four times the legal limit. While she could no longer return to her previous life as a Southwestern Illinois College All-American volleyball player, Panzau chose to direct her efforts to fight against the dangers of drunk driving that led to her life-altering rollover automobile accident. Panzau will be at the UA’s Gallagher Theater tonight at 6 to tell her story to anyone who will listen. Arizona head rugby coach David Sitton is so passionate about the weight of her message that he is requiring all returning rugby athletes to attend and highly encourages anyone hoping to join the team. “One of the things we tell the rugby guys, and I’ve been like this for a long time,” Sitton said, “if you’re at a party with a friend and he wants to drive

drunk, then you go ahead and break his jaw. “I mean, that’s just how we take care of things, at least on the rugby team,” he added. “That’s just how we do it. We don’t advocate that everyone does it, but I’d rather have a broken jaw in my son than have him kill somebody or get killed.” Panzau’s appearance has been in the works with Assistant Director of Campus Recreation Mary O’Mahoney and Golden Eagle Distributors — one of the Arizona rugby sponsors — for quite some time, and everyone involved has high hopes that Panzau’s message will hit home with UA students. “We sent info out to all the clubs and coaches, (Associated Students of the University of Arizona) and the Dean’s Office. We have posters all over the Rec Center and on campus. We’re hoping to fill the whole auditorium with people that want to hear,” O’Mahoney said. “With a positive message like this our whole department is behind the whole idea. So any students we can affect with this would be awesome.” Panzau promises her message will make a lasting impression and Sitton has taken the topic very seriously. SPEAKER, page 8

get it done.” Although both opposing teams have losses this season, the level of play that Arizona will face in the Bay Area is certainly higher than what they saw in the Wildcat Classic. Head coach Dave Rubio is interested to see how his team will react in another difficult environment, similar to their first tournament in Louisville. “I fully expected that we’ll be wellprepared both physically and emotionally for the match,” Rubio said. “It should be good to see how we react and respond against another good team on the road. I’m looking forward to seeing how we perform in that type of environment.” Arizona is also hoping to avoid repeating history. The Broncos gave the Wildcats their first loss of the season in 2008. They have met eight times, splitting the matches at four apiece. The Wildcats have not faced Utah since the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2005, when Arizona defeated the Utes in four games. “We’re excited to play at a high level and see what we can do against them,” Resch said.“It’s going to be a challenge and a test for us to see if we can do the things we’ve been working on.” This is the last road trip Arizona will take before the start of Pacific 10 Conference play. In terms of environment, this will be the toughest challenge on the road for the Wildcats until they play at ASU, California and Stanford in October. The plan for Arizona this season was to prepare them for the start of Pac-10 play. Including Arizona, seven Pac-10 teams have officially made the top-25 cut. Rubio talked about the reasons for evaluating his team’s play both on the road and overall. “We could use all the practice we can get,” he said.

“I think Vuna has a passion for the game and he has an excitement and will to play the game,” Kelley said.“ … He knows what he’s doing. He helped out a lot in the spring and now he’s starting full-time now, so that’s good for him.” Tuihalamaka has the same natural intensity and long, flowing hair of recently graduated USC superstar Rey Maualuga, but he is nowhere near the media darling that the now-Cincinnati Bengal once was. He couldn’t care less, though, because the only thing that matters to him is getting better. “I think (my performance against 8/21/09 1:24:23 PM CMU) was subpar; I think I could

have done a lot better.”Tuihalamaka said. “(I could’ve) made more tackles, we watched film (on Monday) and, just technique-wise, I think I could have done better and it would have led me to more tackles.” Tuihalamaka is the consummate team player, shying away from talking about his personal success and opting to praise the team as a whole. “We’ve got to give big credit to our coaching staff. They prepared us for a long time,” Tuihalamaka said. “The D-line was wrecking shop the whole night so it freed up me, Xavier and Sterling and (nickelback Corey Hall) and it gave the (defensive backs) a shorter time to cover,

which helped them a lot. All around, I think everybody did their job.” The trio may not have a future NFL star among them, and Tuihalamaka, Lewis and Kelly might not be the household names that past UA linebacking corps may have been, but as a whole, they are becoming known across the Pacific 10 Conference. And they’d rather be one great unit than three good individuals. “There’s a little harmony and chemistry amongst the three of them right now which is pretty cool,” Kish said.“They all really have good instincts, so them being able to diagnose and react just helps everybody be more efficient.”

Sitton stresses consequences

continued from page 7

“We know for a fact that people who are drunk should not operate motor vehicles,”Sitton said.“This is a universal truth — we don’t have to debate it. We just have to remind everybody about it every day. “There’s nothing moral or immoral about this,” he continued. “It’s just a fact. The purpose of this is just to keep people alive.” Binge drinking has always been an issue on college campuses nationwide, but the common theme is to stay away from the wheel. “One of the points that (Panzau) makes is understanding, by definition, that you do not make good decisions when you’re drunk. We need to understand that going into it,” Sitton said. Drunk driving has become a somewhat socially acceptable occurrence, but as Sitton said, Panzau brings to light some of the lesser-acknowledged costs of making the decision to drink and drive. “The police effort alone — and this is where I feel very confident about her message — the police effort alone is a minimum $10,000 fine for drinking and driving,” Sitton said. “I bet if I asked 100 guys tomorrow night at the presentation if they were willing to lose $10,000 later that night, they’d all say no. And then, if I went on to ask them if they wanted to take the chance of possibly accidentally killing someone or themselves with an automobile, of course they’ll say no. “And unless you have a good group of friends willing to beat some sense into you,” he added, “then you are taking a shot at losing $10,000, your car, someone’s life or your life.” Sitton said nobody ever plans to get behind the wheel and change their life or the life of another human forever, but it still happens. The heart of Panzau’s message lies in planning against it happening and taking the appropriate steps to ensure that people don’t make the same mistake as she did. “This wasn’t supposed to happen to me, this wasn’t supposed to be my life story,”Panzau said on her Web site.“I hope today in hearing my story and seeing my pictures and what I’ve been through, you will see that it’s simply not worth it.”

Obama maintains ability to make compromises Chicago Tribune WASHINGTON — On a night reserved for laying out his vision of health-care reform, President Barack Obama offered a spirited defense of his broad goals but continued to avoid making concrete commitments on some of the most contentious issues — including the so-called public option. And the decision to avoid getting down to specific details of competing proposals, even though lawmakers in his own party had pleaded for clearer signals, reflected the guiding principle behind Obama’s political strategy: to put off decisions on the most sensitive health-care questions until the very last moment. Thus, while liberal Democrats in the House have threatened to revolt if Obama does not insist on a government insurance option, the president told the joint session of Congress Wednesday night that he will consider other approaches to making coverage affordable for the uninsured.

“The public plan is only a means to that end,” he said, “and we should be open to other ideas that accomplish our ultimate goal.” That flexibility may not please liberals, but it reflects a basic political reality: At this stage of the legislative process, when neither the House nor the Senate has even begun to debate a final bill, the House will not pass a health-care bill that does not include the public plan. And the Senate will not pass a bill that does. That means a final decision on the public plan likely must wait until each chamber has acted and a conference committee begins negotiations to resolve their differences. It’s only in those negotiations, carried out behind closed doors, that a final compromises may be hammered out. Much the same is true for other hot-button issues in the health care fight, including the specific details of individual and employer insurance mandates, cutting back federal payments to Medicare Advantage plans, and levying new fees and taxes to pay for the overhaul.

need that flexibility in the budget for unforeseen circumstances,” Harris said. For example, a sustainability organization was founded last year after the budget had been approved by ASUA, so the thenadministrative vice president allotted $1,000 to start the program, said Lesley Ash, sustainability director. Other ways the funds have been used are for parking and transportation for ASUA officials, Harris said. “When the president or others go to Phoenix for school business, they rent a motor pool car,”Harris said.“There and back is around $68. … They’re small charges that add up.” The ASUA president is also given a cell phone for school business, and long distance charges are paid for by these funds as well, Harris said. “Potentially you could abuse it, but in general most

things are free for cell phones nowadays,” Harris said. Gabby Ziccarelli, administrative vice president, said another way the funds are used is for the ASUA retreat that the administrative vice president plans each year. “The retreat has been thousands of dollars in past years because they’ve held (the retreat) off campus and with expensive activities,”Ziccarelli said.“Now it’s down to hundreds of dollars because we decided to do it on campus, and it’s not our priority this year.” In order to use these funds, there is a process used that takes time and paperwork, ASUA Executive Vice President Emily Fritze said. An ASUA requisition form must be filled out stating which account the money is coming from, who is requesting the money, who or what department the funds will be transferred to and an estimated amount of money, Harris said. He added that spending

must be approved informally by both the treasurer and the president, Chris Nagata, who, Harris said, “has made it a priority that he signs off on anything over $250.” The request is then sent to ASUA business manager Gail Tanner to be signed off. She puts the request in to be approved by the UA and, after three to five days, can distribute the funds, Fritze said. “There are extenuating circumstances, and there is an credit card (for ASUA) but you have to go to Gail no matter what,” Harris said. After each expenditure, a receipt must be returned to ASUA and the treasurer also receives monthly reports to monitor spending. If an executive needs more money than they are allocated, other executives may transfer money from their operations accounts to the account in need.
