Highest college enrollment influx in AZ By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Undergraduate enrollment in Arizona schools has more than doubled over the last decade. According to statistics from the 2011 almanac for the Chronicle of Higher Education, Arizona schools experienced a 121 percent growth in undergraduate enrollment from 1998 to 2008, the highest rate of growth of any state during that time. Undergraduate enrollment at the UA also grew markedly, albeit at a much slower rate. It increased approximately 12 percent from 2000 to 2008. This is compared to a 38 percent increase at Arizona State University during the same time frame. UA President Robert Shelton cited in an e-mail that the UA’s comparably slow rate of growth as evidence of the university’s commitment to putting

“quality first.” Melissa Vito, the vice president for student affairs, echoed his sentiment. “The demand for the UA has just been very high over the past few years, and even as we’re looking at our latest data for next year, it looks like next year’s class will be even bigger,” Vito said. “But we also want to make sure that we deliver quality, and it’s the balance between what our capacity is and making sure the students that are here have access to everything they need.” Kasey Urquidez, interim assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of admissions, discussed some of the problems with ever-burgeoning enrollment. “Growth can be challenging,” Urquidez said. “Not only is it important to bring in a qualified group of students, it is important that we are proactive and keep the campus aware of the growth.

Janet Glenn, a UA material science alumna, and Nathan McLiesh, a junior in physics and math, meet with the UofA Rockoon Team in the Innovation Room of the College of Mines and Metallurgy Tuesday. Glenn discusses the state of the nose cap of the rocket with the other members of the team as McLiesh holds the 21-inch long, 3-inch diameter solid fuel motor that will bring the 25-pound rocket to a final altitude exceeding 100,000 feet.

Rocket group to blast off By Livia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Building a rocket was their dream. Now it’s a reality. The Rockoon Team, a group of 15 students, is close to test launching a rocket it has been designing and building for the past year and a half. The rocket is in its final stages, and the team expects to do its test launch at the end of September. Measuring approximately 14-by-14-inches, it also has an 8-foot-tall wooden platform. Carrying eight pounds of fuel, it will have a GPS so that it can be retrieved, as long as it doesn’t “smash into a million pieces,” Janet Glenn, recently out of graduate school for materials sciences and engineering, said. The

structure is made of carbon fiber, so they don’t anticipate total destruction; but when falling 150,000 feet, anything is possible, the students said. Out of all other groups alike within the UA, it is the only one to has built its craft’s parts mostly from scratch. As a result, Discovery Channel Canada contacted the group to possibly do a special on the rocket, although nothing has been confirmed. Two former graduate students lead the mostly junior and senior group. Glenn describes herself as “the rocket mother.” With Matt Goodman, now a doctoral student at University of Texas, she started the group to “teach the undergrads how to do their own engineering project from con-

Meschberger is one of two members with a special rocket launching certification and has been doing this since she was 13. Her dad, a propulsion engineer building rocket motors, led her to a hobby she hopes to turn into a career. She is part of other teams that have been in space-related conferences as well as other engineering projects. “What prevented me from doing engineering was the math,” she said. Meschberger

The group initially got together two years ago to prepare for a one-time competition of the National Students for the Exploration and Development of Space group. The event fell through, but the students kept on their goal to launch a rocket 150,000 feet and recover it.

The only action item for approval at the ASUA Senate meeting today is the consent agenda from the Appropriations Board’s Monday meeting, which received unanimous votes. This week’s Monday consent agenda meeting served up a total of $2,439.70 out of the more than $12,000 requested, leaving the National Pan-Hellenic Council’s request of more than $4,500 still tabled and a request from Delta Chi Lambda, a group seeking Asian American awareness in the Tucson community, for $1,044 still up for discussion as well. More than $2,400 was allocated to the American Society of Civil Engineers and Students on Stage, the former serving the civil engineering industry, and the latter a theatre club for those with or without a theatre major. The consent board meets each Monday to approve club requests from the various ASUA-recognized organizations and ASUA Senate levies final approval during their Wednesday meetings.

business sophomore I’ve noticed a lot of chicks longboarding and skateboarding this semester. How do you feel about that? It’s different. I think it’s just whatever you prefer. Girls are on bikes as well — just a way to get around. Don’t you think that girls on boards are hot though, like doesn’t that make them really interesting and cool? Sure, yeah. Would you be more likely to approach a girl on a skateboard, bike, rollerblades or Razor scooter? Probably a bike because bikes stop easier. Did you used to wear the Heelys in middle school? Did you used to have a pair of those? Don’t lie. I did not have Heelys. I had Soaps though. What are those? They are for grinding on rails, but on your shoes. What is something interesting about you? I’m on the volleyball team. Tell me more. It’s the club volleyball team at school. We’re actually having tryouts next week. Boys only? Well, for the boys’ team. But yes, it is boys only. We travel. I played in high school so it’s pretty cool. What is your favorite action in volleyball — like spiking, serving, etc.? Serving — definitely serving. How do you feel about Lindsay Lohan? She is getting way too much attention and she does not deserve it. Don’t you think she should be in jail … do the crime do the time? I think she should be locked up for a long time. I mean, Lil Wayne is in jail doing his time, I think Lindsay should too. She should make like a ‘Parent Trap 2’ except call it like ‘Jail Trap’ or something like that. Definitely. So I heard you talking to your buddy about some new rappers on the UA campus? Yeah actually my friend, Cooper Watson — him and his friend are actually making this new rap/electric music group. It’s called AZ Bake Oven with an ‘A’ instead of an ‘E’. Whoa, how did they start that? They just have their rhymes every night like at parties and stuff and they just decided to put it all together to make a band or a group. So they should be coming out with some stuff soon so look out for them. Are they on Facebook? They’ll be up soon; their friend is setting it up I think. I am definitely going to have to find one of them and interview them next. You should. If you could pick one music video that relates to your life, what would it be? Definitely ‘California Girls,’ that music video is pretty awesome, all the candy. Such a great video … are you upset she didn’t win any awards for that one? I am pissed. Just pissed. — Caroline Nachazel

American leaves Iranian prison after bail mediation TEHRAN — In just a few dizzying hours, American Sarah Shourd exchanged a cell in Tehran’s Evin Prison for a private jet crossing the Persian Gulf on Tuesday, after an apparent diplomatic deal to cover a $500,000 bail and secure a release. Shourd was met at a royal airfield in the capital of Oman, which U.S. officials say played a critical role in organizing the bail payment. The whirlwind departure of the 32-year-old Shourd brought little change for two other Americans

— her fiance Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal — who remained behind bars while authorities moved toward possible trials on spy charges. “All of our families are relieved and overjoyed that Sarah has at last been released, but we’re also heartbroken that Shane and Josh are still being denied their freedom for no just cause ... They deserve to come home, too,” said a statement by the three families. Iran, however, has shown no

hints of clemency for the two 28-year-old men. Indictments on espionage-related charges have been filed and Tehran’s chief prosecutor has suggested the cases could soon move into the courts, with Shourd tried in absentia. In Shourd’s case, the judges humbled President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and set the ground rules for her release with a staggeringly high bail. — Associated Press

Freshman class size to continue steady growth

work closely with the academic units so they know how many students have been admitted, including the quality of the class, at all times. By continuous awareness, the growth is more manageable.” Emily Connally, UA Graduate and Professional Student Council president, called enrollment growth a “mixed bag.” “It’s a delicate situation, and people need to plan accordingly to accommodate large increases in enrollment,” Connally said. Connally did praise some of the steps the UA has taken to lessen the burden of increased enrollment, but she expressed some concerns over whether larger classes could cheapen the scholastic experience of some undergraduates. “A college degree is no longer something that can guarantee you a job,” she said. “If you can’t guarantee that somebody will be better off … if you can’t make it worth your investment, then you don’t have any real incentive for people to attend.” Vito believes that such incentives are already in place. “I think that we, as the UA, have been kind of on a track to look at modest growth over a number of years,” Vito said. “That’s why you’ve seen things like the building of new residence halls, expansion of the Student Rec center and looking how we deliver curriculum in a way that is most effective for students.” Vito cited the growing presence of the Think Tank on campus and greater outreach resources for students living off-campus as some examples of this. “We want all students to feel that they are a part of a community,” she said. Despite growing at a slower rate than some of its peers, the UA still ranks as the 23rd largest campus in the nation and the fifth largest in the Pacific 10 Conference. Wildcats are behind ASU, University of

Pac-10 schools listed in US Top 150 for enrollment Illlustration by Stephanie Thayer/Arizona Daily Wildcat

California at Los Angeles, University of Washington, and University of California at Berkeley. ASU is ranked as the second largest campus in terms of enrollment in the United States. Urquidez is quick to defend UA’s fierce rival and sister school. “All three state institutions are dedicated to a quality student experience,” Urquidez said. “I have the opportunity to work closely with my counterparts at the other universities in-state, and I know we all want to provide a quality education. When you take the rivalry of sports out of the picture, we are less competitive and more focused on student success regardless of which school the student selects to attend.” Though the student population of all three Arizona universities is swelling

in number, it’s online colleges that may be most responsible for Arizona’s startling growth over the past decade. The University of Phoenix, an online university, grew 17 percent in the last year alone, and has a total student enrollment of over 476,000, outpacing ASU for the title of largest campus in the United States, according to The Chronicle. Representatives from the University of Phoenix could not be reached as of press time. Signs of growth are becoming more evident in student demographics with this year’s freshman class being the first in UA history to top 7,000. It’s also evident on campus with the construction of several new residence halls on Sixth Street. “We hope to continue to grow the freshman class for a few more years, then

sustain,” Urquidez said. “We are focused on continuing to bring in a very qualified and diverse class of new students.” While enrollment is at historic levels, state funding for higher education is plummeting. The UA lost more than $86 million in-state funding over the last two years and is now at its lowest level since 2002, according to the UA Budget Office. This fact and the difficulties it presents are not lost on Connally. “I think it’s very difficult to plan for increased enrollment when you have to make cut after cut after cut,” she said. For Urquidez, there is a simple way to combat these difficulties. “We will continue to focus on bringing in the best students in Arizona and nationally to learn and grow at UA,” she said.

College dean’s throat slashed in Missouri campus attack MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS Twenty minutes before Gov. Jay Nixon was to have a press conference this morning at Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley, a student wearing a bullet-proof vest slashed the throat of a college dean, police said. Albert Dimmitt Jr., who is dean of instruction, collapsed to the floor. Students and faculty rushed to his aid and applied pressure to the wound

while others tackled the suspect and held him until police arrived. Dimmitt was taken to a hospital following the 9:40 a.m. attack at the Humanities building on the campus at 3210 Southwest Trafficway. Nixon’s talk was planned for 10 a.m. It was canceled. Nixon had just arrived at the airport when the incident happened, a spokeswoman said. Before the attack, the suspect had walked into a large

room with multiple computer labs where the press conference was to be held “acting crazy,” one witness said. He briefly grabbed the microphone and said “Check, check, check” and “Can you hear me?” before leaving the area near the podium. An administrative assistant at the college saw the suspect acting suspiciously, moving slowly around the computer room and playing with a butterfly knife in his left hand. The assistant told Dimmitt that

security should be notified. They believed the suspect overheard them and when Dimmitt left the room to call security, the suspect charged at the victim in a “full sprint,” police said. The suspect caught up with Dimmitt in the hallway just outside the lab and stabbed him several times. Faculty and students in the hallway tackled the suspect and twisted his hand, forcing him to release the knife. They held him down until police arrived.

themselves. The departments of mechanical engineering, physics and the Engineering Student Council are now helping. They also sought private companies’ support, but in return they would lose their full control over the rocket’s design, something they didn’t want. Like most of his colleagues, Sean Gellenbeck, an aerospace engineering student, wants to work in the field, with his goal being NASA. Gellenbeck was a freshman last year when he

joined the group, and to him it’s been priceless experience. “Most of my (previous) rockets were about the size of the engine on this one.” Working with a team also helps prepare him for the real world, he said, where you are “never (working) alone.” After this project is completed, the group might move on to “bigger and cooler things, since we like working together so much” she added.

EDITORIAL Faculty Senate right to decry ethnic studies law

W

hen the UA Faculty Senate voted unanimously to declare its opposition to House Bill 2281 at its meeting Monday, the group knew it would probably not influence the final wording of the bill. After all, the same group passed a resolution criticizing S.B. 1070 last spring, an action that did not have much effect on the law, as Faculty Senate secretary J.C. Mutchler admitted. But passing a measure expressing opposition to state-mandated limitations on teaching and learning was an important move. Although H.B. 2281, better known as the “Ethnic Studies Law,” does not directly affect higher education, it sets a dangerous precedent for all educators. The law forbids teaching courses that are “designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group” or advocating the “overthrow of the US government or resentment toward a race or class of people.” It was drafted in response to Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne’s negative impression of Tucson Unified School District’s Raza studies program, and pushed through the Arizona Legislature by Horne himself. Though the bill clearly targets Hispanic students and their freedom to be taught their own history, its implications are much greater, as S. Mae Smith, a representative from the College of Education on the Faculty Senate, noted. According to Daily Wildcat reports, Smith worried that “this (the law) could be just a beginning of things to come if we don’t think carefully about this.” Smith and the rest of the Faculty Senate are right — H.B. 2281 poses a scary harbinger of things to come. While it expressly targets ethnic studies classes, what Mutchler called its “hazy” language could be extrapolated to apply to whatever the state decides it doesn’t want students to learn. After all, what exactly does “advocate the overthrow of the US government or promote resentment” mean? The answer: almost anything. Certain elements of US history — from the Japanese internment camps during World War II to the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings — are deeply unpleasant, and sometimes the US government deserves the blame. Teaching those elements of history is currently acceptable in Arizona, but the vague wording of H.B. 2281 could yank those classes at any time. The bill was written to censor schools and teachers, and its writers seem to have made sure it could do so in a much broader context than is currently being debated. Laws like H.B. 2281 endanger the autonomy of educators and the sanctity of the classroom. For this reason, the Faculty Senate’s opposition, though it might not make much of a difference right now, is vital. Educators must stand up for themselves and for their right to teach without censors looking over their shoulders. Whether or not the law will affect them directly, the Faculty Senate, in condemning H.B. 2281, is standing up for education. Its action is a credit to the university community and an example worth following. After all, as Mutchler noted at the Faculty Senate meeting, “silence implies consent.” — Editorials are determined by the Arizona Daily Wildcat opinions board and written by one of its members.

Doom in the sky: Drones overhead, from Tucson to Nogales to Baghdad Gabriel Schivone

W

ith the announcement a couple weeks ago by the Department of Homeland Security of the fourth unmanned aerial Predator drone assigned to guard the US-Mexico border — teamed with the Obama administration’s dispatch of some 1,200 National Guard troops to the area — the policy ties that bind war and occupation overseas with domestic border militarization have never been more stark and alarming. President Barack Obama’s approval of the $600 million bill last month, allocating mass troop deployment to the border, also sanctioned the purchase of two additional drone aircrafts, likely from military contractor General Atomics — which produces Predator and Reaper drones. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano boasted that the new crafts would increase Customs and Border Patrol’s drone fleet to six by the end of the year, Reuters reported on Aug. 30. But who are the real and likely prey of these Predator drones? In Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Palestine, where Predators and/or their counterpart Reaper and Hermes models have been deployed heavily armed with hellfire missiles, drone aircrafts have been inflicting murder and mayhem for many years, largely against civilians and “suspected” terrorists. The Brookings Institute estimates that, for every militant killed, 10 civilians have died in Pakistan alone as a result of these drones — some 600 civilians in all.

Arizona Daily Wildcat Despite military authorities admitting that more than one-third of their drone arsenal crashes are due to technical or human error, they’ve tripled the amount of daily patrols in Iraq and Afghanistan in recent years, according to a 2009 New York Times article. The same article cites Davis Monthan Air Force Base here in Tucson as one of four locations in the country where Air National Guard has been ordered to fulltime drone duty to help compensate for the lack of crew. On duty, the reserve pilots sit in “dimly-lit trailers,” operating joysticks in front of computer screens scanning roads and finding targets 10,000 miles away. Not surprisingly, the New York Times reports, “a few crew members have had a difficult time watching the strikes. And some pilots said it can be hard to transition from being a computer-screen warrior to dinner at home or their children’s soccer games.” In a Sept. 11 interview with the Daily Wildcat, Middle East specialist and UA professor of history and Near Eastern studies Dr. Richard Eaton detailed the human and cultural effects of U.S. policy in the region through drones: “The use of missile-firing drones by U.S. forces along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border has been hugely counterproductive, since they serve as effective recruitment tools for radical elements in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. In Afghanistan, they inflame opinion against America; across the border, they inflame opinion against the Pakistan government, which is seen as facilitating

American imperial designs throughout the region. What Muslims find particularly offensive is that the US ordered drone attacks into Pakistan at the rate of about one per day during the final week of the holy month of Ramadan. Whatever the intent of such attacks, they have had the well-known effect of incinerating dozens of innocent civilians.” Raising connections between drone attacks and the higher than usual level of Islamophobia in the U.S. in recent weeks, Eaton comments: “It has been especially pathetic to see General Petraeus pleading with a lunatic preacher in Florida not to burn copies of the Quran today (Sept. 11), on the grounds that such an action could endanger U.S. troops in Afghanistan, when Petraeus himself could do far more to lessen the danger to his troops by simply calling off his murderous drone attacks.” Turning to Tucson and the borderlands, Eaton spares no words about the deleterious domestic use of drones now marshalling all of the nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico: “This appears to be one more instance of the ever-growing Israelification of America — that is, the effort to find military solutions to non-military issues. I should add that all this hysteria over the border, of which S.B. 1070 is reflection, is tragically misplaced. The number of people apprehended along the border has declined 60 percent over the past 10 years, while violent crime in border counties has decreased 30 percent since 1990.” Although the nearly-acquired fleet of six unarmed military surveillance drones to the U.S.-Mexico border pales in comparison to the hundreds of missile-toting drones operating in the U.S. military arsenal abroad, the implications on our society, and other societies, remain in peril. — Gabriel Matthew Schivone is an undergraduate at Prescott College studying art, literature and media studies.

Steve May exploits the homeless for political gain Nyles Kendall

A

rizona has attracted a considerable amount of attention in recent months for its outlandish politics. The embroilment between Steve May and the Arizona Green Party has become the state’s latest political firestorm. Nearly half of the candidates on the Arizona Green Party ticket this year are “homeless street people” that frequent the popular Mill Avenue area in Tempe. The most eccentric of the bunch include tarot card reader Thomas Meadows, who seeks the position of Arizona treasurer, and “Grandpa” Goshorn, a pedicab driver and state Senate hopeful. Benjamin Pearcey, a candidate for the Arizona Corporation Commission, sports a faux-hawk and lists his campaign office as a local Starbucks. Some of the disputed candidates were

Arizona Daily Wildcat recruited by Republican operative Steve May in what many believe is part of a broader undertaking by the Arizona Republican Party to siphon votes away from the Democrats. The party’s efforts have been facilitated by a ridiculous Arizona law allowing candidates to become Green Party nominees with a single write-in vote. This November, Green Party candidates may be enticing to liberals disenchanted with the Arizona Democratic Party, which already comprises an insignificant minority in the state’s legislature. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Steve May openly admits to the fact that he recruited candidates but denies that they are illegitimate: “Did I recruit candidates? Yes. Are they fake candidates? No way.” Even though his duplicitous intentions

are as clear as day, May continues to insist he was only trying to help the “Mill Rats” get their voices heard. It has also been reported that some of the sham candidates in question switched party identification from Republican to Green shortly before the deadline to file as a writein candidate expired. If May truly wanted to empower these people, as he alleges, he wouldn’t have recruited them into a political party that does not represent their beliefs. None of the recruits have been endorsed by the Green Party and they certainly do not have the resources to run successful campaigns. Furthermore, the probability of any one of these candidates winning is one in a million. Green Party officials filed for a temporary restraining order against the nine fraudulent candidates last week but, in a travesty of justice, US District Judge David G. Campbell denied the request, claiming he wasn’t sufficiently persuaded by the merits of the Green Party’s case. May continues to rebuff accusations that his actions were intended to draw votes away from the Democrats, but this week another shoe dropped in the controversy.

TruthAZ.com has released a phone call between Chris Campbell, a Green Party recruit who has since dropped out of the race, and local Arizona businessman Shawn Nelson, which seemingly supports these allegations of fraud. Steve May and his cohorts in the Arizona Republican Party used these recruits as a means for crippling their liberal opposition. Then, in order to shield themselves from reproach, have claimed they were only trying to enfranchise them. They manipulated the system by taking advantage of a loophole in a poorly written state law and exploited the homeless. No one should be precluded from running for higher office simply because they are a little eccentric, but when they are recruited by a politician in a brazen attempt to sabotage his opposition, an exception must be made. The Mill Avenue “sham candidates” should be removed from the ballot immediately. — Nyles Kendall is a political science junior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat. arizona.edu.

POLICEBEAT By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

When e-mailing your professor goes wrong

A man claiming to be a former student e-mailed a UA professor three times between Thursday and Friday. The e-mails were non-threatening and requested the professor fill out a college admittance referral form. The professor’s administrative assistant provided a University of Arizona Police Department officer with the three e-mails, as well as the college admittance referral form sent by the man to the professor. The administrative assistant informed the officer that the professor only wanted the incident to be documented by UAPD for the purpose of them contacting the man and asking him to stop. After running a records check, UAPD learned that the man had sent similar e-mails to two other UA faculty members in the past. The officer left him voicemails on both his cell phone and home phone, informing him that the professor wanted no further contact.

Woman shaken up after man gropes her

A woman at a UA-sanctioned fraternity party approached a UAPD officer stating that she had just been “groped� by a man. The officer noted that the woman had a frightened look on her face and was trembling. The officer asked the woman if she required any medical attention, to which she replied, “No, I just don’t know what I should do about this.� The officer explained the reporting process and what it would mean if she were to participate in the prosecution of the case if an arrest was made. The woman decided to participate as a victim in the case. As she was describing to the officer what had happened at the parking garage where the fraternity party was located, she started getting nervous again. “I think that’s him over there to the left of that group of guys on the sidewalk.� The officer then walked over and approached the man she had pointed out. The man identified himself with a driver’s license. At first, he denied having been involved in such a case. But when the officer told him that it had been reported that he had groped someone and that the victim was being interviewed he stated, “Okay, I didn’t assault anyone, all I did was put my arm and hand around her waist for a moment but after that I didn’t touch her again, can I just go talk to her please?� The officer said the victim wanted no contact with him at all. The man was placed under arrest and issued a copy of the citation and court date. The officer then directed him away from the party and told him not to attempt to contact the victim. The man told the officer he did not even know the victim and would comply with the instructions.

Found passed out in the bathroom

A woman was transported to University Medical Center for extreme intoxication after she was found passed out in the restroom in one of the residence halls on campus at 1:54 a.m. on Sunday. Tucson Fire Department responded to check on her vitals. A friend of the woman’s stated that she was drinking at a fraternity house. The woman who was transported to the hospital, was cited and released for a minor in possession.

Last chance to lose your car keys

A UA student called UAPD to report her lost car keys on Sunday. She told police that she left her keys attached to a lanyard and sitting on a concrete pillar near the front entrance of one of the residence halls on campus. She was there to visit a friend, and when she returned to the spot she had last seen her keys they were gone. Officers advised her to check the lost and found at UAPD in a few days to see if anyone had turned the keys in. They also advised that if the keys weren’t turned in within a few days to get a locksmith to have the car locks and ignition replaced. A second set of keys were brought to the student and the officer provided her with a departmental business card. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Every position counts By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat This Saturday’s matchup between the Arizona Wildcats and Iowa Hawkeyes is setting up to be a close battle, so let’s take a look at how the teams match up at four key positions.

Quarterbacks: Arizona

Last year’s game against Iowa marked a turning point in the season for the Wildcats: the arrival of quarterback Nick Foles. After Matt Scott was lifted in favor of Foles early in the fourth quarter, Foles never looked back. The junior has come into his own and is averaging 287 yards per game so far this season. Although Foles has looked almost unstoppable this season, he’ll be tested against the veteran, physical defense of Iowa.

Iowa

Over the last two seasons, senior quarterback Ricky Stanzi has made a name for himself in the Big Ten Conference. The senior has lost only four games in his 22 appearances over the last two seasons. Stanzi effortlessly controls the run-first offense like the seasoned veteran he is. “He’s great at throwing that deep ball,” said Arizona cornerback Trevin Wade. “Most (defensive backs) if you’re the last read, they kind of slack off— think the play’s over, but he’s good at finding them and throwing that ball.”

Receivers: Arizona

Receiver Juron Criner has emerged as one of the best wideouts in the Pacific 10 Conference. Criner is averaging 118 yards per game for the Wildcats and has the athletic ability to bring down the ball when it’s needed most. Fortunately for Arizona’s offense, he’s not the only option for Foles.

Iowa

The Hawkeyes wouldn’t have cracked the national top 10 without a talented group of receivers. Iowa’s receivers have the ability to get vertical fast and spread the ball around. Coupled with its running game, Iowa is quick to find big plays off the play action pass.

Running backs: Arizona

The three-headed monster for Arizona

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Senior defensive end Brooks Reed closes in on a running back from The Citadel during Arizona’s 52-6 win on Saturday at Arizona Stadium. Reed, along with fellow defensive end Rickey Elmore, will need to match Iowa All-American defensive end Adrian Clayborn’s productivity if the Wildcats hope to upset the No. 9 Hawkeyes.

begins with running back Nic Grigsby, who already has five touchdowns, including a career-high 62-yard run against The Citadel last week. Like his fellow running backs, Keola Antolin and Greg Nwoko, Grigsby’s speed and ability to catch the ball make him a viable passing option for Foles.

Iowa

Adam Robinson leads an impressive Hawkeye duo. The sophomore already has four touchdowns this season. Jewel Hampton, also a sophomore, is expected to see plenty of carries as well.

Remembering 2009’s loss to Iowa and why 2010 is different By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat

Each Arizona sports fan, player and coach remembers the Wildcats’ 2009 loss to Iowa in Iowa City. Amid a competition between quarterbacks, then-starter Matt Scott and nowstarter Nick Foles, Arizona came out rattled by the Hawkeyes. The Wildcats were offensively stagnant, struggled defensively and fell to the Hawkeyes, 27-17, in their third game of the 2010 campaign. “Last year I didn’t think we played well as a team,” said head coach Mike Stoops after Arizona’s 52-6 win over The Citadel. “I think our defense obviously wore down. I think we only had close to 50 plays. You can’t do that and expect to beat them.” The Scott-led offense struggled through three quarters, scoring only by a Trevin Wade 38-yard pick-six and an Alex Zendejas field goal. Arizona collected only eight first downs to Iowa’s 19 and totaled only 50 passing yards before the fourth quarter. “I remember starting out real slow,” said junior receiver Juron Criner. “We just couldn’t get it going. Then we made a couple changes, couple subs, then it just started clicking and only if we had a little more time.” The change Criner referred to was the Scott for Foles exchange. The pace picked up and there was a glimmer of hope with Foles at the helm. “Things started going a little faster and started clicking a little more and it just changed the whole game,” Criner said of when Foles, who went 6-for-11 for 55 yards and a score, entered the game. Foles moved the ball and ultimately earned the Wildcats their first offensive TD – a 10-yard pass to Criner – of the game, but it was too little too late. The defense had already worn down and allowed 27 Hawkeye points with 4:40 left in the fourth, while Arizona trailed with 17. Arizona looked like an inexperienced team without much discipline, but 2010 may look to be a different story when the No. 24 Wildcats host the No. 9 Hawkeyes

Miller eyes top recruits By Vincent Balistreri Arizona Daily Wildcat

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Junior wide receiver Juron Criner runs for extra yardage during Arizona’s 52-6 win over The Citadel at Arizona Stadium on Saturday. Criner has emerged as one of the top wide receivers in the nation — he and quarterback Nick Foles hope the team can pass more efficiently in this year’s Iowa game than it did last year.

Saturday night at 7:30 on ESPN. What is different this time around? “I feel a lot more confident,” Criner said of the team’s chances in round two. “We only lost to them by 10 (points) a year ago and I feel like we was not as complete of a team last year when we lost to them, so I feel like we’re definitely going to give them a run for their money.” That confidence is a theme throughout the entire team. Although they’ve lost seven starters on defense, as well as wideout Delashaun Dean on offense, Arizona is more seasoned offensively and more cohesive as a unit. As Foles put it, the team has “grown together.” “We were young last year,” he said. “We’ve played a lot more games and I think we’ve grown together as a team and I think

that’s going to be key in this game, is how close we stay together.” Defensive backs Devin Ross and Cam Nelson are no longer in the secondary, and Earl Mitchell, Vuna Tuihalamaka and Xavier Kelley are no longer leading the defense. But the 2010 Wildcats have the Hawkeyes at home, a drastically improved and more seasoned Foles – as well as the prolific combination he and Criner now form – and a chance at revenge. They certainly won’t total only 105 passing yards and they won’t have to deal with a quarterback controversy or the hostility of Iowa City. ”We’re at home, we got the atmosphere, our offense is clicking this year so I think we have a good chance to get them this time,” Wade said.

Over the weekend, Arizona head coach Sean Miller was in Las Vegas hoping to win big in a city where most people with the same ambitions walk away empty-handed. Miller’s potential earnings were far from the blackjack tables or slots on the Las Vegas strip — rather, 20 miles west of the bright lights at Bishop Gorman High School gymnasium, two of the nation’s top recruits in the 2012 class worked out as college basketball’s fall evaluation period started on Sept. 9. Shabazz Muhammad, ranked No. 3 in the 2012 class, and Rosco Allen, ranked No. 23, both worked out with their teammates in front of several top coaches in the nation from Thursday to Saturday. Muhammad is currently ranked No. 3, but can very well be ranked No. 1 in his class when everything is said and done. The 6-foot-5 junior is drawing interest from major programs such as Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky . “Last week we worked out for three days and we pretty much had all the schools that are recruiting both of those guys in attendance,” said Bishop Gorman basketball coach Grant Rice. Some of the coaches in attendance were UCLA’s Ben Howland and Memphis coach Josh Pastner. Miller and Arizona assistant coach James Whitford watched the team’s workouts on Saturday, as Arizona has been recruiting both HOOPS, page A7

Whitney Dosty

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Senior outside hitter By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Whitney Dosty, a senior outside hitter on the Arizona volleyball team, has started the 2010 season on an offensive tear. Last weekend in the Wolf Pack Invitational, Dosty racked up 47 kills over three games, leading the Wildcats to a 2-1 record in the tournament and a 7-2 start to the season. The Arizona Daily Wildcat caught up with Dosty to talk about the season so far and about what songs she has on her iPod. What would you say is the best moment you’ve had at Arizona? I would say – I can’t think of a superbest moment. I always enjoy playing and being in games, but I think just being around teammates and hanging out with them outside of volleyball and on road trips. Those are some of the best times and memories. What’s it like being one of the fan favorites here since you’re from Tucson and have always been around the Wildcats? It’s fun having kids who grew up here seeing someone else from here doing well in their sport. I think it’s maybe a little motivation for them to get into sports and do what they want to do and know that it’s possible. Did you always want to play here, or did it just fall into place? It kind of just happened. I wasn’t against leaving here, but I wasn’t against staying. This ended up being the best

So do you have a song on your iPod

Key position battles

continued from page A6 that’s embarrassing or you wouldn’t want anyone to know about? (Laughs) If I didn’t want anyone to know about it, I wouldn’t tell you what it is. But I can’t think of one. What do you think is the funniest movie you’ve seen? Funniest Movie? I would say probably “The Hangover”. Or “Step Brothers” – I really like “Step Brothers”. Are there any fun facts about you that people might not know? I used to do ballet – I’m not sure if anyone knows that. Do you have a nickname or something that people on the team call you? Um … Candace (Nicholson) calls me Wittles. And the whole team – I don’t remember who started it – but they all call me Woo-Woo. So Woo-Woo and Wittles are about it (laughs). Woo-Woo? Yeah, Woo-Woo (laughs). What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve done on a road trip? I can’t think of a specific road trip, but recently we had like this funny little dance party in the locker room, and apparently I’m pretty ridiculous according to the people who have seen it (laughs). I really can’t think of anything ridiculous we’ve done on the road. Is there anything the upperclassmen try to make freshmen do on the road? They carry stuff – like all the manager equipment and what-not. That’s pretty much it though. What’s your favorite thing about being a student-athlete here? I think probably just getting all of the free gear and getting to travel a lot. You know, free protein bars and shakes every now and then (laughs). I don’t know, those are the biggest perks to me.

and Sione Tuihalamaka have also played well in spots on the interior. Pressure from Arizona’s line has been one of the reasons the Wildcats’ defense hasn’t allowed a touchdown this season.

Iowa

Iowa’s stingy defense begins with its defensive line, and no one does more damage than defensive end Adrian Clayborn. He is the leader of Iowa’s big men up front, coming in at 6-foot-4 and weighing 285 pounds. His speed and size made him the most valuable player at the FedEx Orange Bowl last season.

Top recruits Muhammad, Allen in Arizona’s sights

Allen and Muhammad heavily. Despite losing out on major recruits such as Josh Selby and Ray McCallum in the 2010 recruiting class, Miller has been working hard to land top 2011 and 2012 recruits. After getting four-star recruit Nick Johnson from Findlay Prep. — which is about 20 minutes outside the Las Vegas area in Henderson, NV — and Sidiki Johnson from Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, Miller has no more scholarships remaining for 2011 — unless the Wildcats lose Derrick Williams to the NBA which would open up another scholarship. Now that Miller has Johnson and Sidiki committed for 2011, he’s now focused on landing his potential biggest recruit in his career with Muhammad, along with his teammate Allen. Oftentimes, college coaches in transition need that one great recruiting class to get the program rolling, and 2012 may be that class. “Those two guys (Allen) and (Muhummad) are being recruited by Arizona really hard. In fact, they’re two of their top recruits in

the class of 2012,” Rice said. Rice is said to be impressed with coach Miller’s pitch to his players and believes Arizona will be in the mix when Allen and Muhammad make their final decisions. “I know Arizona has had a great tradition with Lute Olson, getting that program to one of the top programs in the country,” Rice said. “But Coach Miller is doing a really good job. He’s been one of the coaches that has most impressed me over the last couple years, coming to recruit our guys.” “He’s a really likeable person and he’s been good with our kids, he’s been very sincere in our conversations,” he added. Rice believes that Arizona will have a fair chance in landing both prospects when the decision time comes. “They’re not going into the recruiting saying we’re going to play together, but if it happens it happens,” Rice said. “But Coach Miller and the University of Arizona is very high on Rosco (Allen’s) and Shabazz (Muhummad’s) lists.”

Arizona head coach Sean Miller did a lot of instructing last year in his first season as the Wildcats’ head coach, giving him hope for more premier athlete talent in the future. Miller and the Wildcats are determined to land top prospects Shabazz Muhammadd and Rosco Allen.

The Daily Wildcat and UA Career Services are teaming up to provide Career assistance to our dynamic UA readership The Three Keys to Success

What do football players, musicians and job seekers have in common?

Jose Eduardo Campoy’s broader theory on success includes not just career but overall interests. To be a success in life, Jose’s theory goes, find: 1. Something you like to do 2. Something you’re good at 3. Figure out how to get paid for doing it Jose majored in Economics in the Eller College of Management, graduating in May 2009. Born in Tucson, he grew up in Sonora, Mexico. Before he even got to campus, he had a pretty clear idea of how to achieve his career goals. He said he sought “To understand the fundamentals of college-level economics and improve my oral and written communication as well as how to interact cooperatively with others.” For Jose’s complete success story, go to www.career.arizona. edu, click on “More News” listed beneath the current articles in the middle section for the articles archives and then filter (at the bottom) for Success Stories.

suit and newly coiffed hair. So far, so good. Have you prepared for unusual questions? What do you say when Mr. Interviewer asks “What is your most successful failure?” A blank look and an uncertain “Huh?” won’t cut it. Behavioral interviewing techniques are popular (at least for the interviewer) and seek information well beyond your most recent dates of employment. They might ask that you list your greatest strengths. Okay, fair enough. How about your most challenging weaknesses? (Hint: When you choose these weaknesses, frame them so they convey, ever so subtly, a strength.) And be prepared to show how you have dealt with this “flaw” successfully.

Word of caution…claiming a “workaholic” nature as a weakness probably won’t fly. But saying that you’re very detail-oriented and you’ve learned to balance that strong instinct with getting work done by deadline is a good start. Being able to cite a specific example illustrating this point is even better. With “teams” being the buzzword of the millennium, Ms. Interviewer will no doubt ask you about a time you worked effectively as part of a team. What role did you play? How did you solve conflicts? Have “stories” emphasizing your team experience ready. Your next job interview is too important to enter cold… get some practice with us and increase your chances…and your confidence. Sign up today in the UA Career Services’ offices in Suite 411 of the Student Union Memorial Center.
