Hart talks positions with Faculty Senate Semester’s first meeting tackles student housing, UAMC smoking policies KYLE MITTAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

In their first meeting of the fall semester, the Faculty Senate heard updates from President Ann Weaver Hart about several administrative positions and considered a policy that would extend UAMC’s recent smoking ban to the AHSC. Hart gave updates on her process to fill three administrative positions, including the position of provost, which is temporarily being held

by Andrew Comrie; a senior vice president for health sciences; and a director for the UA Cancer Center.

Hart stressed the importance of maintaining transparency when filling the positions, especially of provost and chief academic officer.

“The faculty are … the intellectual and working capital of the university,” Hart said. “They have the expertise

Carrol McLaughlin sat in a patient’s hospital room, plucking the strings of a harp. Her audience was silent — the patient had been in a coma for several days. But as the minutes passed, something happened. He woke up.

When he awoke, after 10 minutes of McLaughlin playing the harp for him, he thanked her, she said.

The patient was one of 100 subjects in a study by researchers at the University of Arizona Medical Center. Although most of the subjects did not have the same reaction as the patient did, the study did enable researchers to see some possible effects of harp music on the healing process.

“I know it works,” said McLaughlin, a harpist for 33 years and a UA music professor. “But my educational side wants to prove how it works and why it works.”

McLaughlin partnered with Ann Chiasson, who works for the Arizona Center for Integrated Medicine, and Ann Baldwin, a research professor in the department of physiology, to specifically study the effects of performing harp music in the intensive care unit on patients with critical heart conditions.

Researchers selected 100 participants between the ages 23 and 80 for the control experiment.

Half the patients received 10 minutes of harp music. The other half received 10 minutes of rest.

Although the study has not yet been finalized, researchers

noticed a significant difference in many patients’ blood pressure.

Patients who heard the harp music experienced a drop in blood pressure, yet patients who only received resting time showed no change in their condition, Baldwin said.

Baldwin measured the blood pressure, the heart rate and the pain level of patients in both study groups before and after the 10-minute period.

“With the harp people, their pain level was significantly reduced,” she said. “It put them in a better stage and a better balance.”

Music invokes different emotions, Baldwin said, and these emotions affect the nervous system

If it wasn’t green enough already, the grass on the UA Mall will now be grown using organic fertilizers with the help of a local company.

In an effort to keep the Mall’s grass growing while minimizing environmental impact, UA Facilities Management, in collaboration with Tucson-based Merlin Organics, will begin treating the grass with natural fertilizer. According to Christopher Kopach, the assistant vice president for Facilities Management, Merlin Organics contacted Facilities Management a year and a half ago with a proposal to switch fertilizers over to organic alternatives.

Following a successful trial period on the grass in front of Bear Down Gymnasium, Facilities Management contracted Merlin Organics to use organic fertilizers on the roughly half-mile length of lawn from Old Main to North Campbell Avenue.

Unlike traditional chemical fertilizers, the organic fertilizer is made of a special compost formula called a “compost tea,” mixed with natural

additives, according to Troy Hollar, Merlin Organics’ chief operating officer.

The new natural fertilizer is not only healthier for grass than its chemical couterparts, it’s also more water-efficient, according to Kopach.

“We’re seeing more root growth from the new fertilizers, and that means more roots absorbing more water more efficiently,” Kopach said.

Hollar added that the use of compost tea has decreased water use on the Mall by five percent in the first six months of the program. His company had set a goal for the reduction of water, but since that goal was already

and heartbeat.

The patients who McLaughlin played the harp for and who had dangerously low blood pressure indicated a rise in their blood pressure level. Those who had dangerously high blood pressure indicated a drop in their blood pressure level to a safer level, McLaughlin said. The vibrations of the harp appeared to help patients find a consistent breathing pattern.

“If you think about the body, the breath happens in a rhythm,” she said. “The blood flows in a rhythm which is all vibration, and vibration is equivalent with sound.”

This became a starting point, McLaughlin said, for improvising

Hart added that her team plans to move quickly with the vetting and hiring process with the hopes to have access to the very best candidates for the positions, as other institutions are in the process of filling similar spots of their own.

After opening the floor for comments, Senator Barry Ganapol, an aerospace and mechanical engineering professor, expressed concern for the university’s relationship with the surrounding neighborhood, citing the growing number of student-housing complexes and recent problems with residents at the District on 5th.

Hart responded by saying that students should oust the mentality that they’re simply renting a place to live while they’re in college, and realize that Tucson is their home.

Doing so, she said, would improve the relationship between students and their neighbors.

the harmony of the music. Once the breathing and the blood circulation are in a cohesive state, healing can happen, she said.

“I just became aware that the sounds could be gently led to go through vibration, which are more peaceful to the body harmoniously,” she added.

Researchers are still looking at the data, Chiasson said, and studying whether patients became more relaxed specifically because of the harp music or because of the presence of another person in the room.

Helping patients with the healing process has been a rewarding experience, McLaughlin said.

“How fabulous is it,” she said, “that my tools that can take me to play at an opera house in Russia can also take me to a hospital room where I can impact somebody’s life?”

you don’t live in Flagstaff, you don’t live in Phoenix,” Hart said. “You live in Tucson, and this is your home and the people with whom you live are your neighbors.”

The senate then addressed a policy proposed by Cathy Nicholson, the Arizona Health Sciences Center’s human resources director.

While the University of Arizona Medical Center imposed a ban earlier this year on smoking anywhere on the property effective on Jan. 1, smoking is still prominent around the AHSC building, Nicholson said, adding that cigarette smoke still finds its way into several offices, and that smoking on the center’s property contradicts the center’s mission to promote and teach health.

“Our hope is that this will curtail that kind of behavior and improve the quality of work-life for the people that work on the Arizona Health Sciences Center Campus,” Nicholson told the senate.

After senators passed a number of amendments to the policy, the senate ultimately tabled the proposal after it was unable to resolve a debate regarding some of the policy’s minor details. Further discussion of the proposal is on the senate’s agenda for the October meeting.

met within the first six months, the company has set a new goal of a 10-percent reduction after the first year.

Hollar also said that the five-percent decrease in water use has already saved tens of thousands of dollars for the UA. He added that because natural materials are used to make the compost, it costs less to produce than conventional fertilizers.

Hollar also stressed the reduced fossil fuel consumption from using organics. Fossil fuels are the largest component of traditional fertilizers and pesticides, whereas compost tea uses no fossil fuels.

Members from Students for Sustainability, a club that focuses on campus sustainability efforts, said they are also pleased with the program, saying that Facilities Management is strengthening the UA’s reputation as a sustainable institution.

“The university is doing a lot of good things for sustainability,” said Taryn Contento, director of the club’s UA Community Garden project. “I think that the University of Arizona is an institution that people in Tucson look up to. This is a good way to teach people about sustainability, and a really good step in the right direction.”

Colleges focus on graduation rate MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

MINNEAPOLIS — Students stepping onto Century College’s campus are greeted by a sign: “Welcome to the 2012-2013 academic year!” Below the message is a man in a graduation cap.

From the start, community colleges are emphasizing the end, trying to improve stubborn transfer and graduation rates as national pressure grows.

The challenge is sizable: Fewer than half of students who enter a community college earn a degree or transfer to a four-year school, or they are still enrolled six years later, according to a recent report by the American Association of Community Colleges.

Colleges now begin their efforts the moment students arrive. In some cases, even earlier. Alexandria Technical and Community College interviews students about their goals before they enroll. Inver Hills Community College groups first-year students into “learning communities.” Itasca Community College takes the full first day to orient students, inviting them to “Let’s Chat” sessions and a picnic.

This fall, Century College in White Bear Lake is requiring students who tested into developmental reading — all 1,450 of them — to take a three-credit course called “New Student Seminar.”

“For a long time, community colleges’ mission was opening up access,” said Melinda Mechur Karp, senior research associate at the Community College Research Center. But in recent years, “there’s increasing recognition that isn’t enough. It’s not enough to say, ‘Come on in,’ if we can’t get you through.”

Aug. 28 was the first day of college for most of Cathy Crea’s “New Student” class at Century.

They spent the first half-hour learning about what they have in common — and what makes them different. “I’m a carnie at the State Fair,” one woman said. “I own my own business,” said another. Later: “I have a kid.”

“Stand up if you have a kid,” Crea said. The four standing shared ages, names.

find within these small classes a sense of community and responsibility to one another, as well as study skills and career planning.

Crea, who has taught the “New Student” course since it began as a pilot program, believes it “definitely” makes a difference, especially for students who are the first in their families to go to college.

“Many times, these students’ lives have kind of conspired against them,” Crea said.

“They’ve had a lack of opportunity because of poverty, institutional racism, language barriers.

“I’ve seen this class help level out the playing field so that they can turn their lives around and be successful.”

Reports reveal a relationship between taking such courses and staying in school, according

to the Community College Research Center at Columbia University’s Teachers College.

“If someone were to say, what’s the one thing that works, student success courses would be toward the top of my list,” Mechur Karp said. Meanwhile, studies show that many of community colleges’ other efforts “have had less impact than we had hoped.”

Mechur Karp said that when done right, the courses “essentially serve as a prolonged group advising period,” filling in for an advising staff that, at many colleges, “is understaffed, under-resourced and overburdened.”

According to the American Association of Community Colleges report, released in April, “The community college landscape is littered with lost credits that do not add up to student success.”

Marijuana could have negative health risks MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

LOS ANGELES — Male pot smokers beware: Your seemingly harmless habit may be increasing your risk of developing the most dangerous forms of testicular cancer.

A new study, published Monday on the website of the medical journal Cancer, reports that men who have testicular cancer are twice as likely to have smoked marijuana before they were diagnosed than control subjects.

The association existed only for nonseminomas, the more dangerous form of testicular cancer that is harder to treat.

In the study, carried out in Los Angeles, a team of researchers enrolled 163 men who had been diagnosed with testicular cancer between 1986 and 1991. They also recruited a larger group of control subjects who were matched to the patients on such characteristics as age, ethnicity, and what L.A. neighborhood the subjects lived in at the time they were diagnosed — a localized approach to controlling for socioeconomic status.

The researchers, led by Victoria Cortessis of the University of Southern California, quizzed the participants on a range of medical and lifestyle factors, including drug use. They found that marijuana use before they were diagnosed was linked to a two-fold increase in testicular cancer risk. Even with this increased risk, the likelihood of developing testicular cancer remains relatively low: According to the American Cancer Society, a normal man’s likelihood of developing the disease is about one in 270. The risk of dying from the disease is even lower, at one in 5,000.

Nevertheless, the study did find an increased risk of testicular cancer from marijuana use, and the results square with the findings of two previous studies, which also found a link between testicular nonseminomas and marijuana use. But it remains unclear just why marijuana use would lead to an increase in cancer risk.

The authors of the new study speculate that THC, the active component in marijuana, may be interfering with androgen signaling in the testis, particularly signaling by testosterone. But they say more biological data are needed to definitively determine the mechanism responsible for the increased cancer risk — and to rule out an unseen factor that may be biasing the results of the three epidemiological studies.

Flight 93 investigator recalls what happened MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. — FBI Special Agent John Larsen spent most of the two weeks after 9/11 on his knees in an old coal field, wearing a hazmat suit, rooting through the pulverized remains of United Flight 93.

Larsen, who spoke at a panel discussion at the Flight 93 National Memorial on Sunday, remembers arriving from Chicago just after Sept. 11, 2001, looking down from the hillside above the crash site into a blackened crater and saying, “Where’s the plane?”

Working around the clock, Larsen and hundreds of other investigators braved sharp-edged aircraft debris and pools of fuel oil and other toxic materials in their effort to determine who and what brought down the Boeing 757.

Their efforts yielded tons of material: the critical data and voice recorders that established the chronology of bone-chilling events on the plane, and some human remains that brought a measure of solace to families of the 40 passengers and crew who lost their lives.

Buried in the silt, 300 yards away, was a key piece of evidence that helped tie the crash to the larger 9/11 terrorist plot: one of the metal shanks used to hijack the plane, along with the burned remnants of a passport clearly picturing one of the hijackers.

Larsen, now retired, joined two other top investigators on the case — who spoke together publicly for the first time before a rapt audience of 250 at the crash site — as part of the Flight 93 anniversary commemoration.

The event was held under dramatically cloud-filled skies in a packed tent on the site of the future visitors center and museum complex in Somerset County.

The agents recalled their own experiences of 9/11, starting the day in various parts of the country at training events or meetings, and thinking when they heard that an aircraft had hit the World Trade Center that it was an accident.

As soon as the second plane hit the World Trade Center, the men said, they realized the United States was under terrorist attack — their worst nightmare had come true — and they scrambled into action.

John Shea, former special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh FBI office, remembers the rapid mobilization of the small army that worked at the site — 1,000 people in all — in the weeks after 9/11, from the state troopers who patrolled the perimeter on horseback, sitting by campfires at night, to Red Cross workers who provided support services.

He recalls being struck by the enormity of the task and the fear that this was the beginning of a longer war on U.S. soil.

“What we didn’t know was, is this a single-day event or are we looking at other attacks on bridges and tunnels, infrastructure elsewhere in the country?” Shea said.

He said that as conspiracy theories cropped up alleging U.S. fighter jets had shot down the plane, he consulted with a National Transportation Safety Board accident expert about how best to respond.

“There would have been a huge debris field if it had been shot down, and there was none,” he said.

“There was a hole filled with heavy plane parts, and the lighter parts of the aircraft and other material was

Daily WildCat We’re Super Classy

The nation on Tuesday will commemorate the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, but this year’s ceremonies will be different — at least at the main commemoration site in Manhattan.

There, politicians will be voiceless.

About 3,000 people died in the coordinated hijackings by Islamic terrorists, and the nation has traditionally marked the anniversary with speeches and commemorations at all three sites and elsewhere. In that, this year’s ceremonies will be true to form.

At 8:46 a.m. EDT, bells will toll in a moment of silence to observe the time at which American Airlines Flight 11 struck the north tower of the World Trade Center, and the names of the fallen will then be solemnly intoned. There will also be moments of silence to mark the exact times at which United Airlines Flight 175 struck the south tower, American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pa. In July, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum — led by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as chairman of the foundation board — announced that in this presidential election year, politicians may still attend but the only recitation would be the victims’ names. “You always want to change,” Bloomberg said in a radio interview in July, “ … and I think it’ll be very moving.”

The decision came amid the continuing dispute among Bloomberg, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie over how to pay for the site’s proposed museum and its operating expenses. Cuomo and Christie control the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the World Trade Center site.

Bloomberg’s foundation controls the museum and oversees commemorations.

Most of the eight-acre memorial quadrangle officially opened last year as part of the commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the attacks. Since then, about 4.5 million people have visited the memorial and the twin reflecting pools marking the sites of the original towers.

Even amid the disputes, construction has continued on the new World Trade Center’s 16-acre site in Lower Manhattan, and two of the new skyscrapers planned there are nearing completion.

One World Trade Center, formerly known as the Freedom Tower, will open in 2014 on the northwest corner of the site. That building, at 104 stories, will reach 1,776 feet with its spire.

Nearby is 3 World Trade Center, an eight-story building scheduled to grow to 80 stories when finished in 2015 or 2016.

Two World Trade Center is planned to reach 88 stories, but will not be built until the commercial real estate market picks up enough to fill it.

Remember 9/11 by honoring responders

A

lthough regular reminders of the 9/11 attacks persist — reports of the latest casualties in Afghanistan, whenever you walk through airport security — terrorism is again a distant concern and the significance of Sept. 11, 2001, has largely faded from American memory.

But we promised to “never forget.”

Today, we must remember not only the lives that were lost in the immediate aftermath of the attack, but the thousands of victims who continue to suffer more than a decade later in the form of serious health concerns.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health announced Monday it would add cancer to the list of diseases covered under a federal law that provides financial assistance and health monitoring to Ground Zero workers and emergency responders exposed to toxins both during and after the attacks. But the ruling is just a start, and as we acknowledge the meaning of today, we must also acknowledge that never forgetting is simply not enough to heal lasting wounds.

Dr. John Howard, head of NIOSH and administrator of the World Trade Center Health Program, proposed expanding the list of illnesses covered under the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act in June.

The rule became official Monday, so that the Zadroga Act includes about 50 cancers. The regulations will become effective 30 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register.

Though the additional coverage is a step in the right direction, and offers some comfort to Ground Zero workers and responders, advocates worry the Zadroga law is underfunded and won’t be able to cover long-term treatment and compensation.

When the highjackers flew their planes into the Twin Towers that day, 110 stories of steel, concrete, glass and asbetos collapsed onto the streets of Manhattan and released deadly carcinogens, exacerbated by burning plastics and jet fuel, into the air.

Estimates vary, but at least 20,000 Ground Zero workers are being treated and 40,000 are being monitored nationwide by the World Trade Center Health Program. The overall death toll from 9/11-related illnesses is likely at more than 1,000.

The New York City Fire Department added nine more names last week to the 55 already etched on a wall honoring NYFD members who died of illnesses related to Ground Zero.

“We’re burying guys left and right,” said Nancy Carbone, executive director of Friends of Firefighters, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit, in an interview with Reuters. “This is an ongoing epidemic.”

Meanwhile, public officials have praised Monday’s decision.

“Today’s announcement is a huge step forward that will provide justice and support to so many who are now suffering from cancer and other illnesses,” said New York’s U.S. senators, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, in a statement.

Enacted in January 2011, the Zadroga law allocates $2.8 billion to compensate people with illnesses due to toxin exposure. Another $1.5 billion over five years is set aside to fund the World Trade Center Health Program and treatment, but adding cancer to the list of eligible diseases will not increase funding.

It’s no longer enough to simply remember. To honor 9/11’s victims, first responders and workers of Ground Zero, there must be a greater priority placed on caring for those who are still with us today. The announcement by NIOSH may be a huge step, but it is one in a long journey.

Getting a gun may be as easy as downloading music Jason Krell Arizona Daily Wildcat

G

uns might soon be more accessible than ever.

It’s a frightening thought, given recent events. The most striking was when James Holmes allegedly opened fire in a crowded movie theater in Aurora, Colo., killing 12 and injuring dozens more.

About a month ago in Oak Creek, Wis., Wade Michael Page allegedly killed six people at a Sikh temple.

And just a few weeks ago, on Aug. 27, Robert Gladden Jr. allegedly shot a fellow student at Perry Hall High School in Baltimore.

In fact, it seems like the country can hardly go more than a couple weeks without someone firing a gun off into a crowd, and no community can understand the fear in the wake of such an incident better than Tucson. Since Gabrielle Giffords was shot and six people killed on Jan. 8, 2011, Tucson continues to feel the impact of every gun-related attack.

Now with the advancements of 3D printing, people will be able to literally print out the components required to construct a firearm.

According to CNET writer Rich Brown, anyone can buy a 3D printer for around $500. For $50, they can buy the ABS printing plastic required for their weapon, and .38 special ammunition is about 30 cents a round at many retailers.

That may sound pricey, but it would be worth the cost to avoid having to register a weapon, and a metal detector isn’t going to uncover something made of plastic.

To make matters worse, the files required for this kind of weaponprinting will be as readily available as most music is on the Internet. Ever download an MP3 file? It’s pretty easy, and getting files for gun printing won’t be any more difficult.

For now the only saving grace is that the plastics used for most

3D printing isn’t strong enough to withstand the force generated from firing the weapon, but groups like Defense Distributed are aiming to work around that to make functioning firearms ­— and at the rate technology develops, it can’t be that long before they succeed.

What further complicates the situation is that 3D gun printing goes beyond the Second Amendment or any other gun related arguments.

Now that the Internet is involved it’s a matter of First Amendment rights.

If people can post any number of dangerous or inappropriate materials online, why would these files be any different? But can the government afford to allow such easy access to firearms? Will the government even be able to stop the files from showing up all over the Internet in the first place?

These questions will most certainly need answers, sooner rather than later.

Of course, it’s still illegal to actually manufacture a weapon in this way, but since when has an act’s illegality ever stopped criminals?

Many will be quick to jump up and say gun control needs to be more strict — but then the rest will shout about how that doesn’t solve anything. They’re probably right,

too. A year ago I might have agreed and said that if the government outlawed most firearms the U.S. would be more safe, but these 3D printers changed that.

Granted, there are a multitude of methods a person can employ to get a fire arm illegally that some might say are easier, but adding another to the list certainly makes things worse.

Even though the technology isn’t quite there yet, it’s on the verge.

With the advancement of technology comes the proliferation of information. As the world has seen many times in the past, it’s been a blessing and curse, and this is another example of the latter.

As for how to make this problem go away, that’s impossible. The situation is now twice as complex and could very well never be solved effectively by anyone.

Perhaps instead of taking the guns away from citizens, everyone should be given a firearm instead. In a few years that might be the reality we live in anyway.

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.

Velasco had all the preparation she needed to work, report and write as a journalist.

And even with all of these preliminary factors, Velasco made a serious error in judgment when she decided to steal previously reported works from a variety of publications.

According to the Cronkite School’s informational page on plagiarism, journalists who do so violate two vital principles of the profession: honesty and accuracy.

By violating these principles, Velasco merited the punishment, as both a student and as a professional journalist. But her actions damage more than her academic and professional careers.

The media has been one of the least trusted institutions in the U.S. for the past few years, with 2011 figures showing public trust at 44 percent.

Incidents like Lehrer, Zakaria and Velasco’s acts further damage the credibility of the profession as a whole, and with these events happening as frequently and consistently as they have been for the past two months, it is hard to imagine that the media will regain the public’s trust anytime soon.

Police Beat YAZMINE MOORE Arizona Daily Wildcat

Drinking 60 year-old kicked back off campus

A 60-year-old man was arrested for consuming alcohol in public and loitering on school grounds at 9:43 p.m. on Sept. 6. Shortly before the man was arrested, a University of Arizona Police Department officer had been completing a security check of Esquire Apartments on Park Avenue. He noticed a male sitting inside the west exterior door when he walked to the center of the courtyard area. The man was under the exterior light, drinking from a silver can and reading a book when the officer approached him. The UAPD officer recognized the man because he currently holds an exclusionary order for all UA properties as well as his previous contacts and arrests. He was drinking out of a cold 24-ounce can of Steel Reserve beer that was 3/4 full. The officer asked the man if he knew he wasn’t allowed to be on UA property and the man went on to explain that he was not on campus and was just waiting for a friend. Although the man claimed he was not on campus, the Esquire Apartment complex is labeled as UA property. The man was then cited and released.

It’s the perfect swirl of decadence and sweetness.

Bike thief breaks bad

Two UAPD officers were patrolling an area near Highland Commons just before 11:45 p.m. on Sept. 6 when they were called to the scene of a bicycle theft.

The officers saw a male matching the description given to them, heavy set and tall, on the west side of Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall. The man claimed he had just been taking a walk through campus. After doing a records check, the officers found the man had two warrants out from the Pima County Sheriff ’s Office for shoplifting.

He was immediately detained and questioned. He said that the bike he was tampering with was his friend’s, which officers were able to confirm with a phone call.

The man explained to the officers that he and another friend had been on campus earlier, attempting to steal a bicycle, but his friend left him. He also admitted that he had a syringe in his front pocket, which he used to inject crystal methamphetamine. The syringe was placed into evidence. The man was arrested and transported to Pima County Jail.

Man reports sirius theft

A UAPD officer contacted a UA employee at 9:14 a.m. on Sept. 5 after he had reported the day before that his XM satellite radio receiver had been stolen from his Ford Mustang convertible while parked in the Main Gate Parking Garage. The employee said no other harm had been done to his car. He said he had locked his vehicle before leaving the parking garage earlier that day. Unknown suspects had entered his vehicle without leaving any damage to the door or soft convertible top.

The employee stated that he would like to be involved in an future criminal proceedings.

Pac-12 Rankings: USC, Oregon leading the way was a surprise and with it came devastating news: Utah’s starting quarterback Jordan Wynn injured his left shoulder in the second quarter — the same Arizona’s victory over then-No. 18 Oklahoma State shoulder that forced him to miss the final nine games was big news in Tucson, but the Wildcats weren’t the of last season.

Check out how the Arizona Daily Wildcat ranks in only team making headlines around the Pac-12.

Three conference teams — Arizona, UCLA and the Pac-12 Conference.

Oregon State — all took down top-20 opponents on Saturday and the Pac-12 now has five ranked teams, (2-0) with No. 2 USC and No. 4 Oregon leading the way.

Last Week: (W 42-29 at Syracuse) “I think the Pac-12 is probably in a better place [now] than it’s ever been and is going to keep getting better,” (2-0) head coach Rich Rodriguez said.

Last Week: (W 42-25 against Fresno State) The win against Oklahoma State propelled the Wildcats into the rankings, as the No. 24 team in the nation, and they actually jumped over No. 25 Stanford.

(2-0) UCLA also made headway with its thrilling 36-30 victory Last Week: (W 36-30 against No. 16 Nebraska) against then-No. 16 Nebraska, earning the Bruins the No. 22 spot in the polls.

(2-0) But what came as the real shocker was Oregon Last Week: (W 59-38 against No. 18 Oklahoma State) State’s 10-7 win over No. 13 Wisconsin. The Beavers were aided by a blown onside kick call that dashed Wisconsin’s comeback effort, but that doesn’t diminish (1-0) their performance against a top tier team.

Last Week: (W 10-7 against No. 13 Wisconsin) “No question our league is a whole lot better than a lot of people think,” Rodriguez said.

(2-0) “I know everyone talks about the SEC, and Last Week: (W 50-13 against Duke) rightfully so because they won all the consecutive championships,” he added. “But top to bottom, our league is ranked with anybody.”

(2-0) The SEC flexed those aforementioned championship Last Week: (45-14 against Illinois) muscles this weekend as Washington was dismantled

by No. 3 LSU, falling 41-3 to the Tigers.

(1-1) Even though the Pac-12 lags behind the football Last Week: (L 41-3 at No. 3 LSU) mecca that is the South — the SEC has six ranked teams and four schools within the top eight — Rodriguez believes real progress is being made near the West (1-1) Coast.

Last Week: (W 50-31 against Southern Utah) The Pac-12 television deal and the overall commitments from the athletic departments around (1-1) the conference are signs that things are moving in the Last Week: (L 27-20 OT at Utah State) right direction, Rodriguez said. Still, it wasn’t all good news for Pac-12.

Colorado lost 30-28 to FCS Sacramento State, (1-1) Washington State struggled in a 24-20 victory over FCS Last Week: (W 24-20 against Eastern Washington) Eastern Washington and Utah lost 27-20 in overtime to rival Utah State.

Colorado has the potential to go winless this year, (0-2) while Washington State continues to rebuild with Last Week: (L 30-28 against Sacramento State) coach Mike Leach now in charge. But Utah’s slip-up KYLE JOHNSON

U.S. soccer team feels the pressure MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

There’s no parsing the importance of Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier for the U.S. national team.

“It’s huge,” forward Jozy Altidore told reporters of the game with Jamaica at a sold-out Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. “We have to win.

Everybody feels that a little bit. If we don’t win, it gets pretty scary.”

Only the top two teams in the fournation group move on to next year’s final round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2014 World Cup. After losing to Jamaica for the first time ever last week in Kingston, anything less than a victory Tuesday could drop the U.S. behind both Antigua and Barbuda and Guatemala with two games left.

“We didn’t get the result we wanted in Jamaica, which puts us in a position that we have to get those points back,” U.S. coach Juergen Klinsmann said Monday. “Pressure is always there in professional sports. Winning, which is our goal and which we are focused on, puts us back in pole position in that

group.

“Pressure and expectations is just part of the professional environment.

That’s no problem.”

But injuries are. The U.S. remains without midfielders Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley, who are both nursing injuries. Defender Clarence Goodson will also be sidelined Tuesday because of yellow-card accumulation. But Carlos Bocanegra and Steve Cherundolo, who both sat out the loss in Jamaica, are expected to return to the back line.

Klinsmann will need more than a new lineup to beat Jamaica — he’ll also need a new game plan. In the first match the U.S. played a “diamond” midfield, hoping to control possession and keep the ball away from Jamaica’s speedy midfielders. That didn’t work with Clint Dempsey, at the top of the diamond, getting too few touches while the rest of the midfield conceded possession and the Jamaicans continually won free kicks.

“We know,” Dempsey said, “that we can play at a better level.”

Bonano earned the award after a perfect night for the Arizona kicking game against Oklahoma State in the Wildcats 59-38 win. Bonano made all three of his field goal attempts, including a 46-yard kick, and all six of his extra point attempts.

“He’s a quality guy, and a talented guy as well,” Rodriguez said of Bonano.

Cameron Moon Arizona Daily Wildcat

“One, I think their quarterback is a really good player. In that style of offense, coach Rodriguez has had teams throughout his entire career that can move the ball and score lots of points with a quarterback who can operate. The quarterback operated very well.”

— Gundy on UA quarterback Matt Scott “That’s probably the loudest crowd I’ve been around in a while.”

— OSU offensive lineman Jonathan Rush “Definitely catching the ball.”

— OSU receiver Josh Stewart about what the receivers need to work on

Calling it quits: Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham announced Monday that starting quarterback Jordan Wynn would be retiring.

Linebacker Rob Hankins, who started a year ago, may not play another down for the Wildcats, Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez told the media Monday.

According to a Facebook post from his father, Rob Hankins, Sr., the sophomore linebacker is retiring due to a “serious concussion.”

Hankins has missed both games this season and time in fall camp with concussion-like symptoms.

In 2011, Hankins played in only three games before concussion problems sidelined him for the reFollowing Saturday’s win over mainder of the season.

glad to have it, but we talked about sticking with the game plan. Have we arrived? It’s yet to be seen.”

59 points not enough for Rodriguez

Despite scoring the most points for an Arizona team since playing the Citadel in the second week of the 2010 season, Rodriguez is not happy with the way his team is running the ball.

“I’m disappointed in the run game,” he said. “I think there’s another level we can go offensively.

We need to do a better job opening holes.”

Against Oklahoma State, sophomore running back Ka’Deem Carey had 126 yards on 26 carries, which led the team. But, at halftime, Carey only had 27 yards and said after the game that he was staying patient with his offensive linemen waiting for something bigger to open up. His patience paid off, as he ran for two scoring runs more than 25 yards in the second half.

“It’s always a challenge to establish the run against a good team,” left guard Chris Putton said.

“We’re working at it every day. Our focus is getting movement. We would love to run more.”

Wynn injured his left shoulder in Thursday’s game against Utah State, the same shoulder that cost him nine games in 2011. Senior Jon Hays will likely replace him as starter.

but once she arrived at the UA she found more adversity.

“Right before my first meet freshman year I got a stress fracture,” Moline said. “Then junior year I sprained a disc in my back and most recently I pulled my PCL. It’s just been a rough road.”

Last season Moline also fell at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Though it may look as if she has bad luck, Moline said she doesn’t believe so.

“I don’t think it’s as much luck as just being mentally strong,” said Moline. ”After I fell I think a lot of people would use that to tear them down or use it as an excuse, but I used it as motivation.”

Even though she faced an uphill battle in joining the U.S. Olympic team in London, Moline qualified and ended up placing fifth overall in the 400-meter hurdles race.

“Georganne is a really strong girl,” said fellow Olympian and Arizona high jumper Brigetta Barrett. “She’s a real positive person and I’m glad we were roommates in London.”

Moline said her goal is to return for the 2016 Olympics in pursuit of a gold medal, despite her past hardships.

“Through all of this I’ve learned to be who I am and be humble,” Moline said. “Never let myself think I can’t do it, because if I don’t believe in me then who will?”

KICKER JOHN BONANO attempts a field goal against Oklahoma State on Saturday. Bonano was named Pac-12 special teams player of the week.

Quiroz said the darker color helps preserve the color of the suits.

“The fur is a little darker so that when it does get washed and worn through the years, it doesn’t get as yellow looking or it is not as susceptible to dirt and grime because they are out there all the time,” Quiroz said. “Pretty much the changes that were made were to enhance the student, not necessarily change the look of Wilbur and Wilma.”

Gmitro, a junior, and Garner, a senior, were most excited about the mascots’ new head gear.

“The hats are really fun and with Wilma’s bow you can change the color for different events like Breast Cancer awareness and stuff like that,” Garner said “So I feel like they’re definitely more up to date and they’re going to last for a lot longer.”

At the UA, everyone reads the Wildcat ^

The Daily Wildcat…UA’s #1 Source of News 8 out of 10 UA students read the Arizona Daily Wildcat regularly. In fact, they find out what’s hot on campus from the Wildcat more often than from Facebook or friends!

Source: Readership survey of 2,617 students conducted by Arizona Student Media in December 2008

wildcat.arizona.edu

It normalizes alcohol consumption. Most of us want to fit in – not stand out – from the crowd. If that guy/girl over there isn’t downing a red cup or shot, it causes a drinker to question his/her own actions. The drinker wonders silently, “Why aren’t those people drinking? Hmmm? Is there something wrong with them, or is it me?”

Parties are fun! People who drink are usually out for a good time.

They want to enjoy the party and think that it will be a lot more entertaining if others drink along with them. Alcohol lowers people’s inhibitions and gives them an excuse to let loose and relax... or get wild! Drinkers tend to laugh more, talk louder, act sillier/crazier.

Non-drinkers can have fun without alcohol, but drinkers tend to perceive that the fun is in the drink.

It gives people an excuse for the bad things that happen.

People who may be problem drinkers and suffer consequences from drinking too much often blame others for their hangovers, blackouts, vomiting, fights, injuries, regretted sex, etc. “Everyone was so drunk!” While pointing fingers at others’ drinking isn’t rational and won’t make the bad stuff disappear, any excuse may feel better than looking in the mirror and putting the blame where it belongs.

Sharing is caring. Sharing a six-pack, or a favorite mixed drink recipe can be a bonding experience. Remember the Three Musketeers cry? “One for all and all for one!” And if the drinker persuades others to join in, it can be an ego booster. So, in order to be “in the same boat” everyone needs to drink, right? Maybe not.

The person sipping a soda may have good reason not to join the drinker. DD? In recovery? Work or exam the next morning? Do the right thing and don’t pressure others to drink.

When going out with friends, 70% of UA students prefer to be around people who drink moderately and stay in control. (2012 Health & Wellness Survey, n=2,406)

Adversity is just a hurdle for Moline Luke Davis Arizona Daily Wildcat

A

rizona senior track and field athlete Georganne Moline has been through the wringer, but if becoming an Olympian means anything, she’s turned out just fine.

Moline made the U.S. Olympic team, competing in the women’s 400-meter hurdle, but making it there required Moline to overcome her fair share of adversity.

Moline was born in Plains, Mont. When she was 4 years old her parents divorced, and Moline and her mother drove with a family friend and her daughter to Phoenix in search of a fresh start. With no place to call home, the four lived out of a van for six months.

“At the time I wasn’t aware of the struggle my mom was going through, but she’s my rock and my everything,” Moline said.

“She would take me to parks, McDonald’s playhouses, anything that was free and that made me happy.”

Even though Moline’s living situation was at times far from stable, her mother made sure she never used that as a crutch in her athletic career.

“When I was young I don’t remember exactly what my dreams were,” Moline said. “All I remember is my mom telling me ‘When you go to college’ or ‘When you become this’ or ‘Become the greatest at this’ that’s all I

remember, is my mom engraving positive feelings in me.”

Even with encouragement from her mother to participate in youth sports — anything from tee ball to basketball — Moline wasn’t sure what path she was going to take.

“I didn’t start track till the ninth grade,” Moline said. “And I really just tried it to try it.”

She said she had no expectations at first, but it didn’t take her long to start taking track seriously.

“My freshman year I made state in track,” Moline said. “Once that happened I really started focusing.

And my mom used to always tell me, ‘Georganne, if you’re going to start something you’ve got to finish it.’ So I tried it again my sophomore year and I was hooked.”

Moline wasn’t heavily recruited by any top colleges, even though she won multiple Arizona high school state championships.

That is, until UA track and field head coach Fred Harvey starting showing some interest.

“She didn’t have a big background in track,” Harvey said. “But she had impressive times for someone who lacked the background. And she had a good track body, so I saw it as an incredible opportunity. I knew she could be a world class runner.”

Moline may have accomplished more than what was expected of her simply by making the team,

ARIZONA’S GEORGANNE MOLINE clears a hurdle during the third semifinal for the women’s 400m hurdles at Olympic Stadium in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Moline placed fifth overall in the 400-meter hurdles race. She said her goal is to earn a gold in the 2016 Games.

Arizona cruising with the right confidence Cameron Moon Arizona Daily Wildcat

T

hey’ve won ugly, and now they’ve won big.

The most important question now for Arizona (2-0) looms large: Can the team win consistently in a surprisingly competitive Pac-12 conference?

If you were worried about the mindset of a team that won only four games last year, don’t be. The

Wildcats are flying high early in the season by winning each game with high contrast, first needing overtime against Toledo and then exploding for 59 points and 501 total yards against then-No. 18 Oklahoma State.

Arizona has a confidence about itself right now, and rightfully so: it was forged from adversity the

team experienced early on, such as resorting to using the third-string left guard against the Rockets because of injuries and being down 14-0 after two Oklahoma State scoring drives.

The ability to bounce back is the most surprising trait this Arizona squad possesses. It’s a far cry from last season — when the team was down, it was out.

Not anymore.

The Wildcats don’t seem to care about the lack of size on defense, or depth at linebacker and the defensive line. Most importantly, they aren’t playing scared.

“I’m never intimidated,” said receiver Austin Hill, who has collected back-to-back 100-yard-or-

more games. “It doesn’t matter who your opponent is, you can’t go in there scared — you’re going to play scared.

It may be too early to talk about Arizona’s Sept. 22 meeting with Oregon or Oct. 27 date with the USC Trojans and Heisman frontrunner quarterback Matt Barkley, but at least we know that, even if it isn’t as talented as its opponent, Arizona has a chance.

How else do you explain a twotouchdown deficit that turned into a 21-point victory Saturday night?

“Our kids were saying ‘We have to believe’ last week in practice and I feel that if you really prepare and work hard, you’ll have confidence,” Arizona head coach

Rich Rodriguez said after the game.

“The confidence comes from preparation. If you go work hard and play your tail off, you might not win, but you’ll have a good chance.”

Unlike recent years, Arizona fans can rely on the fight of their Wildcats, because they might be winning games solely on fight as they creep into a deep Pac-12 conference schedule.

“We might have guys that are smaller, slower, but if the guys are competitive, we’ve got a shot,” Rodriguez said.

Wilbur, Wilma receive an upgraded, updated costume for the new season James Kelley Arizona Daily Wildcat

ARIZONA Daily Wildcat FILE PHOTOS AND LARRY HOGAN/ ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

WILBUR’S COSTUME has changed quite a bit over the years, from how he looked in 1960 (top left) to now (right).

After donning outdated and threadbare costumes over the years that are frequently replaced, Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat received new costumes at the beginning of the semester with several significant design changes.

“We always purchase new uniforms,” said Roberta Quiroz, director of community relations and adviser for the University of Arizona spirit program. “They get ratty and torn through the years and it was just time to give Wilbur an update.”

The UA got six new suits, four heads, cooling vests, a holiday outfit for Wilbur, and an adjustable hat and bow for each mascot, respectively.

Wilbur’s blue hat can also now be changed accordingly for red and white-outs, Quiroz said.

“I like the changes, I think that they are a good update, they accommodate to their needs a lot more,” cheerleader Emma Garner said.

Arizona changes the mascots’ fur every four or five years, but the head hadn’t been replaced since about 2000, Quiroz said.

Last month, many Arizona Daily Star readers were in an uproar after the Star published a story about the changes being made to the costumes.

Quiroz said some people thought the changes were drastic and some said they looked the same. The article touted a revamp of Wilbur and Wilma’s look, emphasizing their darker fur, which was one of few significant changes.

“I think some people were under the impression that we were trying to really change the look of Wilbur and Wilma, which we weren’t,” Quiroz said.

Forrest Gmitro, a cheerleading and mascot manager, said they were worried about the reaction of fans after the flak received from the photo shoot that accompanied the Star story, but since then, negative feedback has been sparce.

“We were kind of worried when it was released but it’s been only good news from there,” Gmitro said.

Garner said he’s heard comments such as, “Oh, they’ve got an overnight tan” but when the suits are in action the difference is not usually noticeable.

“I think the first picture kind of freaked people out,” Garner said. “But in person I feel like people really liked them, I didn’t hear any bad things about them.”
