SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899
New frats strive to defy stereotypes ASUA officer leads the way for Alpha Sigma Phi to “better the man” By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT
As a senior, ASUA Executive Vice President Bryan Ponton never thought he would be joining a fraternity, let alone become a founding father of one. “My friends laugh when I tell them I’m doing this, but it felt right,” he said. “I’m leaving the university in May. Now I have something to come back to.” Geoff McDonald, the coordinator of chapter and colony development
for Alpha Sigma Phi national fraternity, initially approached Ponton over the summer to ask if he could suggest viable recruits for the new fraternity. At the time, McDonald did not realize Ponton was a student, and once he did, he persuaded Ponton to join. Ponton explained that although he signed up for fraternity rush his freshman year, he didn’t end up going through the rush process because it was “not his scene.” McDonald explained to him that he wanted to recruit a group of gentlemen who wanted something different from Greek Life — “to better the man,” which is the fraternity’s motto. Ponton said that becoming a founding father of the fraternity, which left
the UA in 1967 and will come back this year, means he can “set the standard” for how the organization will run in years to come while changing the negative stereotype fraternities often have. “I want people to see how different we are going to be in the fraternity game, and that people will want to join that,” he added. For Theta Chi President Isaac Figueroa, a senior studying political science and philosophy, being a founding father of his fraternity last spring meant becoming a leader. “It allowed me to really prove who I am and show what kind of character

UA graduate student Monica Stephens helped create this map, which shows the price of high-quality marijuana per ounce throughout the country.
Marijuana nationwide: UA student maps prices By Brenna Goth DAILY WILDCAT
Monica Stephens, a Ph.D. candidate in the UA School of Geography and Development, created a map showing the retail price of marijuana throughout the country. Stephens went to the University of Kentucky in January to research and work with the founder of FloatingSheep, an organization looking at digital space and data in every day life. Stephens and other FloatingSheep colleagues started the map in April and have continued to work on the graphic design and accompanying article. The map was featured in Wired magazine. Daily Wildcat: What conclusions can you draw from the map? Monica Stephens: We statistically proved that the strongest influence on marijuana pricing is based on the medical marijuana program in the state. Criminal penalties had very little effect. There seems to be some kind of public acceptance created through medical marijuana programs. We also had some joke conclusions, like the map kind of replicates it’s more expensive in more obese states. In areas where marijuana is normalized like Humbolt County and Appalachia where it’s a strong part of economy, it’s actually cheapest.
What was the methodology used to creHow did the idea for a marijuana map ate the map? originate? Last fall I was teaching a UA Geography 416a computer cartography course. I talk about crowd sourcing and I’ll show this map from a website called priceofweed.com where they crowd source all the data. My colleagues from FloatingSheep, Matt (Zook) and Mark (Graham) and I, were talking about site. At that time we realized the data was totally open, so we harvested all of the data. We sent an email telling them we wanted to map it all. They replied and said, “That sounds great,” and sent us all of their data. We had all of the records that were ever submitted. This is a way we can study underground economies which are unstudyable otherwise. In another study it’d be more localized and a small sample size. I thought this would be a blog post. I had no idea it’d be much bigger.
(Priceofweed.com users anonymously submit the location, the price paid, quantity they purchased and the quality of the marijuana). The site has existed about a year or less than a year. There were about 16,700 records. Through data cleaning we reduced it to 14,000 and cleaned further to 12,000. When running statistics we look at the state level. There are interesting dynamics at the local level and diverse topographies of this. There’s no price setting at a larger level. The price in California doesn’t influence price in Georgia necessarily. Statistics are all based on the level of high-quality weed. Are there any other underground economies you are looking to study?

Spray on your bug repellent. September and November are when mosquitoes are the most active in Tucson — and with that comes the possible threat of West Nile virus. Within the past couple of weeks, there have been three confirmed cases of West Nile virus in Pima County, according to a Pima County Health Department press release. Though the specifics of those cases cannot be revealed, symptoms of the individuals did vary and they were all adults, said Aaron Pacheco, a Pima County Health Department spokesman. “Most people that get West Nile virus don’t know that they ever got it,” Pacheco said. “They’ll have no symptoms at all.” Some people, however, may have symptoms such as a fever, headache, tiredness, and a skin rash or swelling of the lymph nodes, he said. The severity of the symptoms depends on the person. “It’s worse in AMY WEBB / DAILY WILDCAT cases of people that have weak- An Ades Egypt mosquito in the laboratoened immune ry of Michael Riehle, associate professor systems,”Pacheco of entomology.

People who have diabetes, heart disease, cancer or other health concerns are more susceptible to experiencing severe symptoms, he said. One out of 150 people who have West Nile virus will develop more serious diseases and could end up in the hospital, according to the press release. A more serious case of the virus would be considered neuroinvasive. “Neuroinvasive is when the infection and the inflammatory immune reaction enter the central nervous system,” Pacheco said. In other words, the brain knows the infection has occurred. The damage can cause paralysis, confusion, poor motor skills or meningitis, which impairs the nerves of the brain tissue, he said. The virus is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that have bitten birds infected with West Nile, Pacheco said. Entomologists at the UA have been working to

UA Visitor Center offers campus tours By Samantha Munsey Daily Wildcat
Michelle A. Monroe/ Daily Wildcat
James Bly, a 1968 UA alumnus, gives a history tour through campus on Wednesday. The UA Visitor Center gives different types of tours throughout the week.
The UA Visitor Center began its fall Campus Walking Tours this month. The tours, which are typically conducted by UA Visitor Center volunteers and UA alumni, occur every Wednesday at 10 a.m. This year the Visitor Center is offering four types of walking tours around campus including “Things to Do at the U,” the public art tour and the history tour. The newest addition to the list is the Sustainability/ Sustainable Landscapes Tour, which focuses on various locations around campus that have turned into sustainable environments by using water harvesting or solar resources. “We’re working really close with the campus arboretum to provide information about sustainability throughout the walk,” said Wendi Rountree, program coordinator at the UA Visitor Center. The tours are free to the public and visitors are provided with a water bottle and carrying case before they take a 90-minute trek around the UA campus. While on the history tour, participants will be educated on his-
toric campus landmarks including the Arizona State Museum, Old Main and Centennial Hall. James Bly, a UA alumni and volunteer for the Visitor Center, has been leading the history tour for the last four years. He says he is still finding new things about the campus. “It’s amazing how much public art items there are on campus because they don’t initially jump right out at you, so you never realize it,” Bly said. “At least, I didn’t.” Aside from walking tours every Wednesday, the center also hosts special tours during events on campus like Family Weekend or Homecoming. On the first Saturday of the month, the center also gives shuttle tours of the campus to people who have mobility issues. “It’s basically like the historic tour but you are on a bus route,” Rountree said. The tours start at the Visitor Center, located on the corner of University Boulevard and Euclid Avenue. The Visitor Center advises tour attendees to wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

I have,” he said. “It was a great opportunity to be different, brave and bold.” Figueroa said Theta Chi drew him in for many reasons — he liked the others who joined, he liked the fraternity on a national level and he liked what the fraternity stood for. He said that becoming a founding father, however, meant taking on responsibility to ensure the fraternity’s future success. “We have to hold ourselves to a higher standard in the way we act because everything we did became the traditions,” he explained. “We have the utmost respectable behavior to create a precedent for all new brothers in the future.” SLAG, or scholars, leaders, athletes and gentlemen, is what the Phi Kappa Alpha fraternity founding fathers looked for in new members since their re-charter in August 2009, according to Ray Holmgren, presi-

dent of Phi Kappa Alpha and a psychology senior. “The vision we all had is making something different than what was already on campus,” he said. “We wanted something more out of a fraternity other than partying and other stereotypes.” Holmgren said he originally pledged to a different fraternity, but dropped when he realized his values didn’t align with theirs. He said he still wanted to be involved in Greek Life and when the Phi Kappa Alpha national organization called him to join, they explained he had the opportunity to create a fraternity in his own image. “I decided to be a re-founding father and contribute to making an ideal fraternity. Joining gave me an ability to make that ideal possible,” Holmgren said. Holmgren explained Phi Kappa Alpha is different because many of its members are leaders in other clubs and sports as well as dedicated to their education. “The main goal is to stay away from the frat stereotype,” he added.

genetically engineer mosquitoes that resist carrying other diseases carried by mosquitoes, such as malaria and yellow fever. Last year, entomologists created a mosquito that resists malaria. Other UA researchers have theorized that the mosquito population in the Southwestern United States will increase, due to higher projected temperatures, according to the National Science Foundation. Mark Strass, an interdisciplinary studies senior, said mosquitoes have bitten pretty much everyone he knows recently, including himself. It’s normal since it has been wet outside, he said. But Strass doesn’t worry about getting West Nile virus since he has lived in Arizona his whole life. He also said he had a friend who survived the virus. “One of my friends’ cousins was in the hospital with West Nile (in
Phoenix),” said Megan Mitchell, a sophomore studying journalism and marketing. Though Mitchell hasn’t been bothered by mosquitoes lately, she said she gets “annoyed and paranoid” when she is bitten because she doesn’t want the virus. “The mosquito is the only transmission line to humans,” Pacheco said. “The birds are the carriers but the mosquitoes can transmit it to other animals other than humans (such as horses).” If someone has West Nile virus, getting rid of it is similar to having a cold or flu virus, Pacheco said. “The body’s immune system fights the infection and then clears the virus from your body naturally,” he said. About 80 percent of those who are infected with the virus do not show any symptoms, according to UA Risk Management Services. Pacheco suggests people use mosquito repellent, especially if they are outdoors from dusk until dawn. Another way to prevent mosquito bites is checking the backyard or

around the house for standing water. Standing water in flowerpots or gutters should be removed or changed, Pacheco said. “It keeps them from breeding, and when they’re breeding is when they’re most active,” he said. “By stopping them from breeding, you prevent them from being around you.” Mitchell said she always puts food away, doesn’t leave standing water around the house and cleans regularly. It’s also helpful to check screens on windows and doors to make sure there are no gaps, Pacheco said. People should also wear long sleeve shirts and pants whenever possible, he said. “We tried to install one of those yellow (anti-bug) lights but it doesn’t really work,” Strass said. Though there haven’t been any deaths associated with West Nile virus in Pima County this year, there have been deaths in Maricopa County. Last year, there were a total of 15 deaths in Arizona, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

y the time you reach college, classroom etiquette should be second nature. There are basic rules of decency and respect that are constantly thrown out the window on campus. So, for those of you who think no one notices when you’re being rude and lazy, they do. Read the following and see if you fall into one of these categories. If you do, you’re embarrassing and you make people want to throw things at you. There is such a thing as a stupid question. Yes, they lied to you when you were a child. Sitting at a computer asking where the on button is, not knowing what SB1070 is or asking for the definition of “dictate” are all statements that have been uttered in a UA classroom. Take a breath, ask yourself if this is something you should know, and then politely whisper the question to your neighbor. Don’t stick your hand in the air and make everyone question the UA’s admissions standards. No one cares about your personal problems. If your mom’s dog’s groomer broke her finger and you have to take her to surgery on the day of a test, fine. Ask the professor before or after class. Don’t raise your hand when your teacher asks for questions and start telling him or her about your family history and force your classmates to sit there bored, waiting to be dismissed. Ask yourself: Does this affect anyone except me? If no, then one-on-one it, and let us get out 10 minutes early. Don’t eat. Chewy, drippy, crunchy foods are distracting. Small snacks can be tolerable, but don’t pull out an On Deck Deli sandwich packed with potato chips and chow down. This is class time, not mealtime. It’s unprofessional, rude and distracting for other students. Oh, and pungent foods? Get out. Don’t make a spectacle of leaving. We’re all proud that you made it through the first month of school, but as the weather becomes nicer and air conditioning not as necessary, the temptation to ditch may be too great to ignore. If so, be prepared. Sit near the exit, have your stuff pre-packed, and don’t sit in the middle of the row. They say 80 percent of life is showing up. The other 20 percent is knowing when, and how, to make a good exit. Whisper. If you just have to tell your friend something important (i.e. ask that dumb question), or maybe that hot girl next to you is talking to you for the first time, just be sneaky. People who talk, not whisper, but talk during class, are the rudest people imaginable. When the professor is trying to ignore you but eventually has to awkwardly ask you in front of all your classmates “Please be quiet,” you look like the asshole.

MAILBAG A nation’s grief is genuine In response to “Remember to be thoughtful, kind even on ordinary days” in Sept. 12 issue: While I agree with your position that all Americans should be cognizant of the daily atrocities occurring under the radar everyday, it is upsetting to hear you label Americans as “narcissistic” in the wake of such a great tragedy. Sure, the media romanticized 9/11 and yes we as a country are fascinated by the idea of grief but that doesn’t discount the palpable amount of sincere compassion and unity we as a country felt after that day. Saying that we as a nation became “inflated with a sense of self-importance that we mistook for kindness” is harsh considering complete strangers came together and united not as different people but as fellow countrymen. As you said, people came out and donated blood, money and their time in effort to aid those who were devastated by the attack. I don’t think that qualifies as gross fascination with grief, but sincere human kindness. We should all be aware of those suffering daily. It is something (that) we humans take for granted, especially living in a country such as our own, but please don’t take a nations collective empathy and stereotype it as American greed. — Keith Salerno Wilson Interdisciplinary studies major

This or That is a weekly feature in which members of the Perspectives staff weigh in on a campus-related topic and pick their final verdict from two options. This week’s question is “Textbook prices — pay up or protest?” It seems every other year a new edition of a required textbook comes out and professors demand you purchase that version. Some students blow off purchasing the textbook because they can’t afford it and others because they don’t think it’s useful. Nobody wants to overpay for a book but their hands get tied when the text is heavily relied on. Alternatively, many argue that textbooks aren’t always a necessity for college success. not purchased a textbook at least once because it was too expensive. Of those students who said they didn’t, 78 percent said they expected to do worse in the class (even if they borrowed or shared the book). But you’ve paid your tuition.

Verdict: Protest Textbooks are overpriced, hands down. A lot of the items in the UofA Bookstore are overpriced, but considering it’s a convenient location and, when you pay with a quick swipe of the CatCard, the $500 worth of textbooks doesn’t seem so bad. I can’t be the only one who has purchased a required and expensive textbook for a class, only to learn two months later that you never use it. I also can’t be the only one who is left feeling cheated when I sell back a textbook to get $2 in return, especially when the book was 50 times as much. At least the bookstore offers a rental program.
Jacquelyn Abad Daily Wildcat
Verdict: Pay up Books are the canvas for writers and they display their findings and research to educate others. Today, books can be downloaded for free and illegally from the Internet. Print isn’t what it used to be and people do not appreciate the work that went into writing it. On average, our book lists per semester range from $300 to $800. This is a small price for the information that textbooks can provide. Sure, e-books are cheaper but students can get a better grasp of the concepts if they are reading from a book rather then reading off of a computer monitor. Let’s be honest, we know we do not want to pay for textbooks because we are broke and cheap college students. But, textbooks are an investment. You are more likely to excel in your course if you actually read and most of the time students read the assigned reading if they have a book in front of them. Once you soak up all the information it has to offer, you can pass it along and share the wealth of knowledge to someone else. Ever since the release of the Kindle, Nook, and other online e-books, textbooks have been seen more as a burden and have become underappreciated.

POLICE BEAT By Rebecca Rillos DAILY WILDCAT
Trouble outside of Paradise A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol near Park Avenue and University Boulevard around 1 a.m. on Saturday when he noticed a couple arguing on the sidewalk. The woman was trying to walk away from the man toward University Boulevard when the man got in her way. The officer drove closer to observe the argument. He saw the man put his hands on the woman’s shoulders and shake her back and forth while yelling in her face. The officer got out of the car and ordered the man to sit down. The man identified himself and said that the woman, his girlfriend, had thought he had lied to her about another woman at a party earlier. He said that a woman had come up to him at the party and put her arm around him. His girlfriend saw this and got mad. The man said he had one or two beers at the party. The girlfriend told the officer that her boyfriend had lied to her about what happened at the party and that he yelled to her, “You don’t realize what’s going on at all right now!� She told the officer that her boyfriend had never done anything like this in the past and she was not scared when he did it, only frustrated. “I think he was trying to make me realize what he was saying.� She also admitted to drinking alcohol earlier. The woman said she did not want to press charges due to their relationship. The officer cited the man for assault and minor in possession of alcohol in body and booked him into Pima County Jail. The woman was cited and released at the scene for minor in possession of alcohol in body.
Blinded by the light A UAPD officer responded to a call at 1 a.m. on Saturday near the Sixth Street Garage to assist another officer with a group of students who had possibly been drinking. The officer spoke with a man who had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his mouth. The man said he was walking from one dorm to another with his friends when police stopped him. He said he had not been drinking. The officer observed that the man had red, watery eyes and other signs of intoxication. The officer asked the man if submitting to a preliminary breath test would prove he had not been drinking. The man replied, “Probably.� The man added that his eyes were likely to show “jerky bounces� because because he wears glasses and his eyes were dilated to get more light. The man was cited and released at the scene for minor in possession of alcohol in body.
Don’t tase me bro A UAPD officer was flagged down by a driver who said she had witnessed a man walking into traffic on Speedway Boulevard between Mountain Avenue and Cherry Avenue at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday. She said the man appeared to be intoxicated and was not wearing a shirt. On his way to the scene, the officer was flagged down again by two people who said they had seen a man punch out a window of a car and yell at people across the parking lot. The officer found two men and two women near the scene who walked away as the officer approached them. The two men matched the witnesses’ descriptions. The people ignored the officer’s commands to stop. One of the men walked up to the officer repeatedly with his arms out while yelling. The officer warned the man he would use his Taser if he did not back off. The man attempted to run, but the officer grabbed his hand and tried to get him on the ground. The man called the officer a “motherfucker� and the officer handcuffed him. One of the women at the scene identified the man as the one who punched the car. All four subjects had been drinking or had suspended drivers’ licenses. The two men were arrested for intentional vandalism.

Rubio wanted Pac-12 divisions By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
If it were up to Dave Rubio, the Arizona volleyball team would be in the Southern Division of the Pac-12. Unlike football, volleyball isn’t split up into two North and South divisions. In fact, the 12 volleyball coaches even had the opportunity to make it that way, Rubio said. “It’s not two divisions, we’re playing double round-robin,” Arizona’s head coach said. “I wasn’t really a strong proponent of it, and I wanted to go to two divisions, but I was outvoted on that.” He was outnumbered because the other coaches thought it would be unfair.
“They felt like the fairest way was to have everyone play each other twice,” Rubio said. “And, it’s without question the fairest way to determine who’s going to be the conference champion, but I think the best way to get to postseason play is having another week of nonconference.”
In the North Division there would be No. 1 California, No. 2 Stanford, No. 4 Washington and No. 16 Oregon. There would be four ranked teams up against two unranked, Washington State and Oregon State, leading to a very, competitive division. In Arizona’s hypothetical division, there would be No.6 UCLA, No.13 USC and four unranked teams: Arizona, ASU, Analysis Volleyball will now play in 22 confer- Colorado and Utah. The two divisions would be unbalence matches this season, whereas footanced, but Arizona would be one of the ball will only play in nine.

The Pressure is on Stoops: UA’s D-line has been ‘average‘ in first two contests By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat
Three NFL-caliber defensive ends and a standout defensive tackle made pressuring the quarterback the last of Arizona’s worries in 2010. The senior trio of Brooks Reed, Ricky Elmore and D’Aundre Reed tore up offensive lines to rack up 33 sacks in 2010, while then-redshirt freshman Justin Washington burst onto the scene to tally six sacks and 11.5 tackles for a loss. Elmore led the conference in sacks for the second consecutive season, and the Wildcats boasted the third-most sacks in the Pacific 10 Conference. But with Brooks Reed, D’Aundre Reed and Elmore chasing NFL dreams, and Washington yet to make an impact, the Wildcats’ once-lethal pass rush has vanished in 2011. “We haven’t even begun to get where we need to be,” defensive line coach and former UA defensive tackle Joe Salave’a said with a sarcastic laugh. The Wildcats have only totaled three sacks through two games, two of which came against NAU. The third came as a result of Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden falling down untouched. Arizona’s defensive line will face Stanford, with its notoriously physical style of offense and the No. 1 quarterback in the country, this weekend. “We’ve been average. We need to play better,” head coach Mike Stoops said of pressuring the quarterback. “Obviously this will be a physical challenge up front. Any time you play Stanford, it’s going to be a physical game. We

Arizona’s defensive line creates a push during the Wildcats’ 41-10 victory against NAU on Sept. 3 at Arizona Stadium. The unit has struggled to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks in two games this season, and facing Stanford and quarterback Andrew Luck this Saturday, the key for UA is dominating the point of attack.
need to play better on both lines of scrimmage.” Arizona gave Weeden all day to throw on Thursday and it resulted in 397 passing yards, two touchdowns and a school-record 42 completions for Oklahoma State. If Washington, senior defensive ends CJ Parish and Mohammed Usman, and the rest of the defensive line don’t bring pressure this Saturday at Arizona Stadium, the Wildcats can expect much of the same against a poised and talented quarterback in Andrew Luck. “Until this game is changed, I’m a firm believer that your defensive line play will dictate the outcome of the game,” Salave’a said. “That line

Cardinal isn’t invincible. “They always come with that hard-nosed physical stuff and we’re ready for it,” Washington said. “We’ve been hitting the weights heavy. It’s more manversus-man, like who’s the strongest. So I’m trying to prove I’m the strongest. We’ll see.” The Wildcats’ defense is fading quickly in the young season, yielding 426.5 yards per game after giving up an embarrassing 594 yards against the Cowboys last week. The UA’s secondary has taken most of the blame, but the lack of pressure has given quarterbacks ample time to throw,

Chandler up for Cardinal sports blog talks Stanford schemes, coaching NCAA Woman of the Year award By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat
With No. 6 Stanford coming to Arizona Stadium on Saturday, the Daily Wildcat decided to get a different angle on how Stanford looks since former head coach Jim Harbaugh headed to the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers. We emailed Willys DeVoll, editor-in-chief of DailyAxe.com, a student-run website dedicated to Stanford sports, to discuss how David Shaw has stepped into the head coaching job, how Arizona should attack the Cardinal on offense and any weaknesses in Andrew Luck’s game. Daily Wildcat: How has David Shaw done since taking over for Jim Harbaugh? At this point, is he just living off of Harbaugh’s solid recruiting, or is he a pretty solid game-day coach? Willys DeVoll: Shaw held together the 2011 recruiting class after Harbaugh headed north to Candlestick, so early indications say he deserves time to prove himself on the recruiting trail. The concern for Stanford fans is that

Yesterday, Chandler was selected as one of nine finalists for the 2011 NCAA Woman of the Year award to be presented October 16 in Indianapolis. A little over a month ago, Chandler was named the 2011 Pac-10 Woman of the year. If she is to continue her NCAA award-winning streak, she will join four former Wildcat athletes, three of whom won for swimming. Swimmers Whitney Myers (2007), Lacey Nymeyer (2009) and Justine Schluntz (2010) previously won the award. Track and field athlete Tanya Jones received the award in 1994.

Dollar coins piling up at Baltimore reserve bank Mcclatchy tribune
BALTIMORE — In a dimly lit underground vault a block from Camden Yards, the Federal Reserve is holding millions of dollars in cash that nobody wants. The money — stored in cloth and plastic sacks piled high on metal shelving units — is in the unloved form of dollar coins, some of them never used. But a 2005 law requires the reserve bank to keep ordering coins regardless of its stockpile, and so vaults in Baltimore and around the country are filling up. “This is just a small portion of what there is nationwide,” Dave Beck, senior vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and regional executive for the Baltimore branch, said as he stood inside a small warehouse filled with money bags, each containing 2,000 coins. “At certain times, that vault will be full and
we have to look for other Fed facilities ... that have more space,” he said. Congress created a program in 2005 to mint four new dollar coins a year, each featuring a different U.S. president, in an effort to encourage consumers to make the switch from dollar bills to coins. But the new line, which began rolling out in 2007, failed to spark a significant increase in demand, Fed officials said, and some commercial banks are threatening to stop ordering the coins altogether. Nonetheless, the law compels the Federal Reserve to keep buying the coins. Each time the Mint issues a new presidential coin — the latest, featuring Rutherford B. Hayes, came out earlier this month — the Fed must be able to supply commercial banks with that new $1 coin, and only that coin, for several weeks. That requirement limits the Fed’s

ability to draw down its burgeoning supply of idle coins. Beck, who has worked at the Baltimore branch for 27 years, would not say how many coins are stored in Baltimore, but the Fed’s board of governors told Congress in June that the reserve system is holding more than $1.2 billion in dollar coins at 28 cash offices across the country. Officials expect the number of dollar coins sitting in storage to grow to $2 billion by 2016. Critics, including some members of Congress, call the law wasteful. As the Fed board reported, “Because of vault storage constraints and insurance limitations at coin terminals, the Reserve Banks have been forced to spend resources to expand storage capacity to hold the excess $1 coins, with no perceptible benefit to the taxpayer.”
Are you going to the UA Career Services Kickoff today (Wednesday)? Since I don’t have the attire, probably not. But I know there will be future Career Services events that I’ll go to. Do you feel prepared for those future events? Yes. My resume is all intact and I have appropriate attire for that. What about in the workplace? If HR (human resources) ever brought you to the office, would you be prepared for that? Since I don’t have that much experience in HR, I’m not a business major — I guess I would be ready for that.

Ellie Janco
How about I test you? There was this guy named Aaron, and he was called into the HR office for pooping in Coke bottles and throwing them away in his office. If HR called you in for that, how would you handle it? First of all, I would question the HR director why they’re not firing me. Secondly, I would say, “Oh, I’m sorry, I feel like using the bathroom in a Coke bottle…”
Communication senior
No, you’re not actually doing it. You were accused. Then I would say I’m not doing it and prove it to them by directing them when I go to the bathroom to stand by the door and listen to me go to the bathroom, and I’d be like, “proof, I don’t go to the bathroom in Coke bottles.” What if they had evidence? Like, one of the maids complained about it. If it’s evidence, then you’re saying I’m doing it. Do they have DNA samples? Well, they probably wouldn’t be able to prove it. But Aaron ended up having to defend his job at Larry Flynt Publications for the rest of his career. You know, it’s amazing what happens.

D-line

leaving the secondary stranded. “When you have that great D-end and D-line pressure the ball has to come out fast so you don’t leave your secondary guys out there on an island,” said senior safety Robert Golden. “We want to get a lot of pass rush so we can sit on routes when the ball is coming out. We can really play our technique when the ball is coming out fast.” While Arizona’s missing running game and sub-par secondary have been stealing the headlines, the defensive line needs a shot in the arm as well as it heads into the Pac-12 opener. Arizona should hope Washington returns to form and Parish and Usman turn their high energy into pressure if the Wildcats want to compete on Saturday and beyond. “The great news is we’ve got another test this week,” Salave’a said.
De Rego time Mohammed Usman and CJ Parish may have found help on the outside. San Jose Community College transfer Lamar De Rego, who originally committed to Oregon State, made his Wildcat debut against Oklahoma State. The 6-foot-3, 265-pound defensive end showed well, picking up two tackles in limited time. “He’s another high motor guy. He’s not your overly big guy but he can get around the corner and be all over the place,” defensive line coach Joe Salave’a said. “Now we’ve just got to make sure that we critique, evaluate and help him out with some of the body placement and hand stuff.” While De Rego is learning the ropes of Division I football on the fly, he will continue to see action as Arizona searches for the right combination at defensive line.

who’s going to be the team to be beat, especially with recent upsets like Penn State and Oregon. Oregon beat last year’s national champions 3-1, putting an end to Penn State’s 94 consecutive home game-winning streak that began back in 2006. A win comes down to who shows up to play, just like any other sport. On paper, Arizona will inarguably be a smaller team in the conference this season. But there have been really short teams, shorter than Arizona, who have taken “big” teams by surprise with scrappy defense and strategic offense. It’s a big misconception in volleyball that the team with bigger members will always prevail. What really matters is seeing the court, reading the court and placing the ball in the “money” spots. Conference play is just starting and Arizona has already been written off as short and young, but tall and old isn’t always better.

Q&A
from page 6
Stanford is young in the secondary, and Arizona ought to use Nick Foles’ arm as much as possible anyway given the Wildcats’ personnel. Out of Stanford’s four starters in the secondary, three are seniors and one — free safety Michael Thomas — is a team captain. But the first four defensive backs off the bench are all either sophomores or freshmen, and starting corner Barry Browning is a true sophomore. Testing the linebackers is virtually a futile exercise and the defensive line has looked good despite losing senior nose tackle Sione Fua to graduation and the NFL in the spring. Stanford gave up 305 passing yards to Duke; the air is the way to test the Cardinal. Is there any chance Stanford overlooks Arizona with the way the past six games have gone for the Wildcats (1-5)? There is some chance, but I think it’s very slim. Stanford played San Jose State and Duke in the opening

weeks and won by a total of 84 points. After Arizona, Stanford doesn’t play another team within shouting distance of Arizona’s ability until Washington comes to the Farm on October 22, and two of the three games in between Arizona and Washington are in Stanford Stadium. The Cardinal should be ready for Saturday regardless of the recent results against Arizona. Stanford struggled a little bit with Duke in the first half last week. Why? The offensive line continues to struggle and get used to three new starters. Andrew Luck got hit as many times as I can remember him ever being hit in his just over two years as the starting quarterback. And the Blue Devils are no juggernaut. The offense in general looked a bit off — routes were sloppy, passes were in front of and behind receivers and some plays just didn’t develop — but I consider that collateral damage of playing a huge underdog in hot weather over 3,000 miles from Stanford in the second game of the season. If all that continues, it could become a real problem. Now it’s still not much of a concern.
