funds they need to go to school. “It helps us out a lot as far as getting the classes we need,” said psychology junior and veteran Corrissa Burt. Through the G.I. Bill, veterans are able to have their degrees paid for but only if they finish within 36 months. If they go beyond that, they are on their own. “If you miss one class and it offsets your semester by one you have a whole semester, you have to pay for by yourself,” said V.E.T.S. Vice President Robert Rosinski . “So if you are a freshmen and you are just starting and you already missed that one semester, you just kind of look at it and go well, I’m already screwed.” When the V.E.T.S. office began, it averaged six veterans a day — now around 120 veterans visit the office each day. The office now has veterans swipe their CatCards in order to measure

This fall, the University of Arizona Police Department charged a young woman with a Minor in Possession on her first day at school. Like many firsttime offenders, she was deferred to the Dean of Student’s diversion program. “Most issues have to do with alcohol violations and marijuana violations committed on campus,” according to Sgt. Juan Alvarez, UAPD public information officer. The young woman was one of 24 people cited by UAPD for alcoholor drug-related offenses at the beginning of this academic year; part of a significant decrease in crime activity from last year. During the first two weeks back at school in 2008, a total of 582 crimes were recorded by UAPD — 36 of which involved drugs or alcohol. During the same time period in 2009, 564 crimes occurred during that first week — 32 were drug or alcohol related. This year, a lower total of crimes, 396, were reported during between Aug. 15, and Aug. 23. “It’s not worth it,” said Dan Judkins, educator and injury epidemiologist at the University Medical Center. Emergency room nurses say alcohol related injuries are absolutely an issue at the hospital during the first week of classes. “Whenever there’s an excuse for partying, whether it be the homecoming, graduation, and especially during the first week of school we usually see several patients each evening who are sick enough to come to the emergency room,” he said. “And it’s not just drunk, it’s levels of alcohol toxicity that put a person at a high risk for death that lead them to be taken to the emergency room”. An additional 10 offenses occurred involving driving under

Veterans Education and Transition Services works to let its students have priority registration because G.I. Bill only pays for 36 months of tuition

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Starting next semester, veterans will register early for classes along with UA athletes. The UA Veterans Education and Transition Services office has been working for about a year and half to give veterans priority registration. The news was announced to cheers during the V.E.T.S. welcome back event. “You’ve still got to fight for classes, but you’re fighting with less students,” said Vice President of Student Affairs Melissa Vito. “Everyone worked so that the proposal that we put together was really, really solid and really good and really neat.” The priority registration will help make sure that veterans are able to stay on track to getting their degree and receive the

How much does 7-foot wall blocks Zona Zoo seats tailgating cost? By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

FAST FACT:

Tailgating is more than drinking and cheering: UA Athletics organizes it, and UA facilities management cleans it all up. Before the game “Athletics is in charge of all tailgating from the ILC (Manuel E. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center) to Campbell Ave.,” said Janessa Cummings, marketing associate and tailgating coordinator for Arizona Athletics. Single game tickets, season tailgate passes and tents for large groups and commercial vendors are all part of tailgating. Any student can purchase a pass 10 days before a game, costing up to

When ESPN’s College Game Day came to the UA in November 2009, grounds staff and tailgating costs tapped out around $57,000. $100 depending on the scheduled game for that day. However, groups of 100 or more can rent tent spaces, akin to the ones for big-ticket games like homecoming, starting at $1,650. The north side of the Jim Click TAILGATE, page 3

Zona Zoo fans wanting to rush the field will have a new obstacle this football season. A 7-foot concrete wall blocks the student section. The wall runs along the 140 yards of the stadium. Students sitting in the first row of the Zona Zoo section cannot see over the wall without standing. The field is visible from all other rows. “You can sit in the second row and still see the sideline,” said Suzy Mason , associate athletic director for Events and Operations. “Since 1998, I’ve never seen our student population sit.” The wall was estimated to cost $190,000 and was funded

News Tips

Valeria Duenas

political science junior Have you heard about the political debate taking place in Tucson tonight? I have, it’s between Terri Goddard and Jan Brewer, it’s going to be on channel 6 at 7 p.m. Whoa girl, you know your politics — you really are a political science major. I actually am. I actually interned for Terri Goddard over the summer. I hit the jackpot with you for this interview. Tell us about it, what did you do? I answered phones, coordinated some events, went to fundraisers, met a lot of really cool people. Campaigns are very, very difficult to work in; however, I learned a lot and I really did appreciate the experience. So I take it you are liberal? I am, yes. What topics do you think Goddard and Brewer will focus on? I think one of the biggest topics they will focus on is obviously S.B. 1070 and also education is very, very critical here in Arizona. Especially with the new elementary prop they were trying to pass. Yes, and especially since Tucson is known for the University of Arizona, education will definitely be one of the hot topics for tonight. How do you feel about people, eligible students like myself, who are perfectly able to vote and are not registered to vote? I feel that they should really go out there register, and get there vote out there. It is very important to vote within your state. I mean obviously national elections are much more popular to vote as the Obama administration said, but that whole campaign was routed for the young vote and I really think that young democrats or republicans should really get there vote out in this upcoming state-wide election for their governor. So you’d have to agree with P. Diddy’s ‘VOTE OR DIE’ campaign? I would have to agree with that 100 percent. What are you most nervous about in this upcoming semester? I am most nervous about my simulation and contemporary and international politics class. And what are you most nervous about for this upcoming weekend? No comment. Let’s stick to the political discussion. How do you feel about political statements being thrown around via Facebook statuses? They are fine, if you have an opinion, express it. However, if you are going to make a statement about something political, you better make sure you know what you are talking about because a lot of people out there especially, our age, love making strong opinions yet they have absolutely no idea what they are even talking about, they just heard it from the kid next to them in one of their lectures. — Caroline Nachazel

Members of the Pride of Arizona marching band practice their performances and formations on Wednesday in preparation for the upcoming season of home football games. The band began their practice at McKale Field and marched its way to Arizona Stadium.

Scientists baffled by ‘bootprint’ on Mars NewsCorp Australian Papers New images of an ancient crater on Mars look just like a bootprint — and the high resolution pictures have failed to solve the age-old mystery for planetary scientists. If anything, the high-resolution images of the “Footprint Crater” — otherwise known as Orcus Patera — have puzzled Mars-watchers even further as to how the Red Planet was originally scarred with the 240-mile-long depression. The picture was taken by the European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter and released by the ESA late last week. It sits between two volcanoes, and while the name “patera” is traditionally given to irregularly shaped volcanic craters, scientists know at least enough

about the Orcus Patera to know it wasn’t formed by a volcano. The most likely explanation is that it’s an impact crater, although given the length of the scar, it would have to have been formed by something striking the surface of Mars at an angle of less than five degrees, possibly bouncing back off the surface. The floor of the crater dives down to 2,000 feet below surface level, while the ridges rise up to 1.1 miles above the surrounding plains. Another theory is that Orcus Patera originally started out as a massive circular crater, but was squashed into its elliptical form by compressional forces acting on the planet’s surface. And yet another states that it may actually be two craters that have been joined by erosion, except that the ridges on either side

of the crater suggest otherwise. What the new images show are the existence of “graben,” massive valleys crossing the crater in an east-west direction, some up to a mile and a half wide. Smaller graben can be seen in the crater itself. Scientists believe that these could have been formed by compression in the opposite direction to that which may have stretched the crater. Unfortunately, graben and wrinkle ridges can be found all over the planet, which means they hold no clue for scientists trying to discover the story behind the unique formation. All that means is the “bootprint on Mars” will continue to remain a mystery for scientists, albeit one that they can now ponder over in hi-resolution detail, courtesy of the ESA.

Athletics official: ‘Field isn’t meant for fans’

Student equipment managers help run UA football By Michelle A. Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT This is the first of a weekly Arizona Daily Wildcat feature on the behind-thescenes people and groups who work with UA football.This week the Daily Wildcat interviewed student equipment managers. Imagine tossing passes to Nick Foles, hearing the impact as players tackle each other and sprinting to the end zone as the Wildcats score the winning touchdown. For 15 students, it’s not a dream; it’s their job. “I’ve always loved football since growing up and I figured coming to college I wanted to work in athletics. I sought out to find a job in football and this was the first one that got picked up,” said Robert Lloyd, student equipment manager and sociology junior. Student managers work about 18-20 hours a week in the office and handle the set up and take down for each practice and game, according to Wendell Neal, associate athletic director for UA Equipment Operations. For a typical home game, managers work a 12-hour day, but have no complaints. “We do work a lot of hours but it’s not bad, I’m used to it by now and it’s good experience for just learning the business,” said Jordan Gobel, marketing junior and student equipment manager for the football team. Game day is one of the best parts of the job, Lloyd says. “Just the excitement built around going to the stadium and seeing all

the fans,” he added. “I’m what they call a ball boy and that makes you feel like you’re really part of a game because without you they wouldn’t have a football to play with.” Some of the managers prefer to be on the sidelines than in the Zona Zoo. “I think it’s awesome,” said Jordan Bates, student equipment manager and interdisciplinary studies senior studying communication, sports management and political science. “In the Zona Zoo you have screaming fans but down there you hear the drama of the game, the hits on the sideline and it’s a much different perspective and I love it.” The students have also managed to get on TV a time or two. “At USC they actually had a shot of me after the game winning touchdown and I got a text from my brother saying I was on TV,” Bates said. “They Tivo-ed it.” While exciting, working on the sidelines comes with extra pressure. “I’m much calmer now than the first couple times, it was very nerve wracking at first,” Bates said. “I was afraid of dropping a pass during pregame and the crowd seeing it.” Only five equipment managers go on the road with the team, and they work about 10 hours a day, Wendell said. “It’s a privilege to go on a road game so you gotta work hard, be passionate about what you do,” Bates said. “Actually this is going to be my first game where I’m going to be

“We transform it from a big party atmosphere on Saturday, and then we have the place looking spotless when everyone comes back Monday morning,” said Christopher Kopach, director of facilities management. The cost incurred by facilities management for the cleanup of tailgating throughout the entire season in 2009 — where over 315,000 people attended home football games — was

Students who rush the field put themselves in danger from the football players and equipment. “It’s some pretty defenseless and unprotected people,” Mason said. “The field isn’t meant for the fans.” Mason said the “impetus” for the wall was the football game against Oregon last November; the pressure from Zona Zoo fans attempting to rush the field broke a section of the previous wall. “We actually physically removed the wall so no one impaled themselves during the rush,” Mason said. The wall was built with input from Facilities Management, Risk Management and Safety, and University of Arizona Police Department. “We all came up with ideas that would keep the environment, keep the fun,” Mason said. The wall aims to provide a more secure barrier between the fans and the field. “It’s meant to protect students and players,” said Herbert Wagner, associate director for Risk Management and Safety. Wagner said the wall poses no risk to students and will not change any procedures. “We’ve looked at it,” Wagner said. “It’s really not an issue from our standpoint.” Wagner said one fan scraped her foot on the wall at the football scrimmage last week. The bolt that caused the injury has been

removed. UAPD will also maintain its current procedures for football game security. “We’re still planning to do the same things we’ve always done,” said Sgt. Juan Alvarez , public information officer for UAPD. “At this time, we’re not changing any procedures.” Mason said students may continue to attempt rushing the field but will have greater difficulty. “I think it’ll slow the process for sure,” Mason said. Some students see rushing the field as an important aspect of a football game. “I think sometimes it’s necessary,” said engineering sophomore Bryan LaFrese . “Rushing the field is something you do.” Other students believe the wall is necessary. “I mean, if they thought it was a big enough issue, I guess they solved it,” said creative writing sophomore Tim Gallant. A student who tries to jump over the wall will face serious injuries. “It’s quite a drop on the other side,” Wagner said. “It’s a deterrent, and students should stay in the stands.” LaFrese said the wall might not stop students during a significant victory. “I think if someone wants to rush the field, they’ll (still) find a way,” LaFrese said.

and Kopach, along with facilities management, is looking for even more ways to make the process more efficient. “We try to be a little more cost effective and efficient (each year),” Kopach said. “We want to reduce the number of trips and the number of hours. We break it down to the cents per fan. We try to get really efficient with our staffing.” A 30-person crew works from 6 a.m. until 2:30 in the afternoon, with help from members of ROTC looking for leadership and community service opportunities in the university community, working together as a team to quickly refurbish the grounds. “We are going to try and do this this year, as we get more sustainable. We are really going to be posting a lot more recycling containers out there, whether it is a big blue bin or those boxes that say recycle,” Kopach said of initiatives to keep the UA Mall clean. “And if you see a trash

can, put your trash in there,” he added as a final note.

Costs for tailgating include: • Parking staff of 15 people • Port-a-johns • Grounds maintenance including grass damage • Police enforcement Revenues from tailgating: • All revenue goes to the athletic department’s 19 different sports teams.

And now, as a work-study employee, he is able to help others do the same. “Now I’m at the position where I can be the one on the other end,” Liburd said. “It’s an awesome feeling, you have that pride of knowing you’ve helped someone.” Rosinski says the office strives for “veterans helping

traveling,” Gobel said. “I’m really excited.” Working on the road provides different experiences than it does working at Arizona Stadium. “I do remember when we were in Iowa last year I was running balls on the Iowa sideline. So I was dealing with them (the players) harassing me,” Lloyd said. “Just like ‘Get back on the Arizona side,’ just negative toward Arizona, I don’t listen to them too much.” At home games Zona Zoo rushing the field adds to the sideline stress. “I really didn’t appreciate it,” Lloyd said on the Zona Zoo rushing early at Game Day. “Especially being a ball boy you gotta look out for the stuff because they come and try and take the balls from you.”

veterans.” The work-study students that staff the office are paid through the Veteran’s Association, which means they are of no cost to the UA. In addition to helping veterans find academic success, the V.E.T.S. office strives to provide a social component for veterans. Veterans often have difficulty dealing with the many UA students whose first priority isn’t their education. “It’s easier to be around fellow vets. (Freshmen)

don’t have, as I like to call it, the team mentality,” Liburd said. The office has its own psychologist who’s free and available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays. The office also has a post-traumatic stress disorder support group whose attendance is twice as high as the VA’s national average. According to Rosinski, V.E.T.S. students at the UA average close to a 3.0 GPA or better and have a 94 percent retention rate.

EDITORIAL

Is anybody out there? Students shy away from involvement in turbulent times for UA

E

mily Fritze’s latest correspondence comes off a little desperate. In an e-mail sent out Tuesday, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona president urged students to “get more involved on campus while influencing policy and university programming” by applying for ASUA safety executive director, diversity executive director or one of three marketing director positions. Possible overstatement of ASUA’s efficacy on campus aside, it’s surprising to see so many executive positions still vacant two weeks into the academic year, especially considering each position comes with a generous stipend — between $800 and $1,000. In the UA’s current state of turmoil, both economically and politically, students should be jumping at the chance to be involved in “influencing policy” while earning a decent supplementary income. But it seems no one’s biting. Fritze clarified that the positions do have some applicants, but that “some years we just wait to get a bigger pool.” Translation: those who have applied for the positions probably aren’t as qualified as ASUA was hoping for. The trend of a limited pool is not a brand new one for ASUA. Fritze herself ran unopposed for president, as did Katherine Weingartner, current executive vice president. Former President Chris Nagata had just one opponent. The current senators faced a slightly more contentious battle, but even there, students had a too-small range of candidates to choose from. Not a single 2009-10 ASUA senator ran for re-election. In fact, many of the current senators were freshmen when they launched their campaigns. While their enthusiasm is admirable, their youth means few of them came into ASUA with a clear picture of its role on campus. Unfortunately, older, more experienced candidates were nowhere to be found. The question, then, is why qualified students are so reluctant to throw their hats into the ring for important campus positions. As Fritze noted, areas within ASUA like Zona Zoo and special events — read: the fun parts — have no shortage of interested parties. What student doesn’t love to attend sporting events for free or throw way-over-budget concerts? The dearth comes in the hard stuff; those who should be making tough decisions, withstanding criticism, voicing concerns or working behind the scenes for actual change on this campus. Whether that’s what they’re actually up to most of the time, those are student governments’ real jobs. Is the lack of qualified candidates the fault of ASUA as an organization? Perhaps. Over the last several years, many students’ attitude toward the organization seems to be derision. They refer to it as “a joke” and leave it at that. But that’s the easy way out. ASUA has made some gaffes — big ones — in recent years. But like it or not, the organization has a $1.3 million budget and, yes, the oftforfeited opportunity to influence major campus issues like tuition and student fees. Students should care. Apathy is not an acceptable reaction to times like these. Assuming entities like ASUA are stupid and not worth your time doesn’t get rid of mediocrity — it perpetuates it. Yes, not caring is easier. Trying to break into an in-group dominated student government and affect actual change would take serious mobilization, strategy and effort. And as seen by the fact that the current president still has major cabinet positions to fill, most people would rather be on the hypercritical outside looking in. And that’s pretty pathetic. Think you’re better? Smarter? More qualified? Prove it.

Letters from

Mallory Hawkins Arizona Daily Wildcat

People who believe they are above acknowledging me on campus I have a word for people like you: assholes. I know name-calling isn’t nice, but neither is you looking every other direction than at me in order to avoid saying hello. You know who you are, and you know that you are indeed an asshole. Let me set the scene, so we are all on the same page. I am walking to class, without a care in the world, when I see you — a person whose face is vaguely familiar from a drunken night out or a relationship gone wrong. My first thought is, “SHIT!” I look around for a possible escape route, but there’s no way out. I start thinking of ways to avoid you at all costs — are my glasses dark and big enough to serve as camouflage? Can I pretend to not see you because I am sending a fake text? Should I look at my feet for the next 30 yards? The answer to all of these questions is no. The only solution is to put on my big girl panties and acknowledge you. Meanwhile, it is obvious that you are going through the same scenarios in your head in order to avoid me. But here we are, walking toward each other just like a scene from an old Western movie. Instead

of pulling a gun, I say hello, while your weapon of choice is the cold shoulder. Now this already-awkward advance has turned into a more uncomfortable situation — a situation that leaves me feeling embarrassed and you feeling like a bad person. Honestly, who doesn’t say hello? It is the polite thing to do. You, however, must have been raised by wild animals and therefore do not understand how to be polite. Just say hello. I don’t care what happened over the weekend or in the past, nor do I care if you think you are better than me. You are not, and you just proved it. I too dread the thought of walking past you and having to make eye contact. I would rather pretend that you do not exist. The fact is, though, we go to the same university and walk the same campus. Our paths are going to cross because that’s just the way life is, so we have to decide whether we are going to make things awkward and one-sided or cordial. I, for one, prefer cordial. While I am addressing how to greet someone on campus, let’s discuss those of you on the opposite end of the spectrum, the eager-to-greet. Please spare me, and everyone else around you, the shrill hello three octaves above your normal voice.

No one, not even my mom, is that excited to see me. You are not fooling anyone, and you just sound like a 5-year-old. The same avoidance policy can be applied for the drive-by “Hello! How are you?” If you are going to ask me how I am, you’d better give a damn. If not, just stop after the hello. On the guy front, feel no need to wave, but please do use a verbal greeting along with that head nod, more accurately referred to as a bro-nod. I cannot tell you the perplexity that runs through my mind when you give me a bro-nod. What does it mean? How do I respond? Do I bronod back? How much of a nod is visible enough without looking like my neck is broken? I have enough anxiety issues already. I do not need your bro-nod to be added to the list. A simple hello with your nod will allow me to respond with a “hello” and avoid all confusion. Who wants awkward situations in their lives? They do make for good stories, but that isn’t enough to make up for feeling weird and uncomfortable. Everyone loves charismatic, friendly people. Be that person. Don’t be an asshole. — Mallory Hawkins is a communications senior. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

ower-hungry, uptight and repeatedly out of line, the University of Arizona Police Department has successfully created an ultra-paranoid student body and upped the presence of UA students in the Tucson City Court. I got pulled over last week by two UAPD police cars at around 5 in the early evening. Apparently I had made an illegal u-turn on Cherry Avenue by the stadium. A “no u-turn” sign does not exist on Cherry Avenue. The officer proceeded to ask where I was coming from, where I was going and how I knew the gentleman in the passenger seat next to me. He then held my license and registration hostage for a lengthy 10 minutes. Emergency lights on both police cars remained flashing as he and his fellow officer diligently reviewed my information, intermittently switching their focus to my car. All the while, I knew I had dodged the unwarranted ticket, given that,

“No, you’re not getting a ticket,” were the officer’s last words before commandeering my information. I understand there is standard procedure and such, but really? Perhaps, in this particular officer’s opinion, I chose a sub-par location for my u-turn, but still, I didn’t violate any rules. But regardless of my annoyance with the whole charade, I still drove away fine free. Not all UA students have been so lucky. As some may have already heard, “The University of Arizona Police Department will be deploying additional officers to enhance enforcement capabilities in alcohol, DUI and traffic laws in selected areas of the campus,” according to the UAPD website. Wonderful. As if the unreasonable drinking age isn’t enough reassurance of the government’s untamed desire to control us, here we are installing an entire additional set of officers for the sole purpose of nabbing underage drinkers on

a college campus. Not a difficult feat. Why, you might be asking, would the UAPD involve itself in such folly when Pima County recorded it’s 10th homicide in two weeks as of Monday, and the Arizona Daily Star crime map for Tucson, using red squares to symbolize assault, homicide, rape and robbery, looks like a bad case of the chicken pocks? Why not raise money for additional deployments concerning these issues to create a safer campus rather than a more paranoid one? I don’t want to laugh in the face of authority and at its attempt to bring structure and so-called safety to our campus, but I do. Nudity, vomiting and any sort of belligerence on a public street warrants an MIP, but not a contained gathering of the moderately intoxicated and underage. A composed person holding a red cup, regardless of their assumed youth, should not stand as probable cause for an MIP. Drunk, underage college students are as vital to this campus as bro tanks and uncoordinated bikers; without them, the entire equilibrium of the UA would be disturbed. So I beg you, UAPD— just let it be. — Alexandra Bortnik is a creative writing junior. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Shoplifting for your art

A University of Arizona Police Department officer reported a shoplifting incident at the UofA Bookstore. A man had entered the bookstore at approximately 7:36 a.m. on Monday and went straight to the art supply section. He then placed several items into his front pocket and exited the store through the main entrance, only three minutes after he had arrived. A UofA Bookstore Security staff member confronted the man just outside the bookstore. The staff member recognized the man as a high school classmate and told him, “You need to come with me.� The man responded, “C’mon, I have to get to class,� addressing the staff member by his first name. The staff member then told the man he needed to come back to the bookstore. “I have you on video,� he told the man. At this point, the man took off running. The staff member went after him on foot but lost sight of the man when he turned toward the Highland Avenue bike path. The staff member went back to the bookstore to get a copy of the surveillance video that depicted his high school classmate shoplifting. A UAPD officer took possession of the DVD as evidence. The officer escorted the U of A bookstore Security staff member to the west side of the Parking and Transportation where another UAPD officer was interviewing a possible suspect. When the man was asked what his intent for shoplifting was, he said that he went there to get some art supplies but remembered he didn’t have any money. He then found the paintbrush he needed and put them in his right front pocket. The man was searched by the officer. The officer found two acrylic tubes of paint and a flat brush in his right pocket. Also, the officer found a small clear bag with a leafy, green substance in his rear pocket. The staff member confirmed and positively identified the man in question. At this time, the staff member was taken back to the bookstore, and the man was taken into full custody and booked into Pima County Jail for shoplifting. He was also charged with possession of marijuana.

While you pee, watch your keys

A UAPD officer responded on Monday when a student’s keys were stolen from his back pocket. The student said the keys were stolen while he was in the men’s restroom. The student had left his backpack on his back while using the urinals. The student said he didn’t notice any suspicious people in the area and that many people were going in and out of the bathroom. The student had his car keys in his backpack and noticed they were gone immediately after he left the restroom.

Man in violation

A man with a colorful alias was arrested on Aug. 30, 2010 at 8:46 p.m. He was on UA property and in violation of a UA Exclusionary Order. A UAPD officer saw the man walking near Park Avenue and made contact with him. The man told the officer he was on his way from UMC and was trying to find somewhere to sleep. UAPD ran a check on his exclusionary order and learned it was still current. The man was arrested, cited, and released with a court date.

Don’t try to “Rush� against the police

Two UAPD officers noticed three individuals outside a fraternity house on Sunday at around midnight. The men were walking toward two officers. Upon seeing the officers, one of the individuals began walking backwards quickly: he was holding some type of bottle. The man turned a corner and began to run. The UAPD officers radioed other officers who were on duty in the parking lot located behind the fraternity house. They spotted the running man, and an officer went after him on a bicycle until he was apprehended. A strong scent of intoxicants was evident on the man. When officers asked him why he ran from them he said, “‘Cause I’ve been drinking.� The man added that his alcohol consumption entailed “eight or nine beers� at a friend’s apartment. He only provided this friend’s first name to UAPD. The man apologized for running and said he “should not have done that.� He stated both that he did not drink at the fraternity and that he was rushing. Officers transported the man to Pima County Jail where he was booked for minor in possession of a spirituous liquor.

His Dedication

No challenge too difficult for UA senior with Asperger syndrome — who found sports as an outlet to make friends and experience the college dream He still hasn’t.

Plans for Dec. 2

COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy sports writer

B

y design, Kevin Wos knows them all. Stripe fades on helmets, colors on face masks, and sleeve patterns on every Division I college football uniform — count on Wos like you would for a pastel sunset after an August monsoon. He designs them himself as one of two Wikipedia contributors uploading the most accurate and up-to-date uniform renderings. Wos even uploaded the maroon and gold — not by choice — “Scum” Devils, which is the only phrase he uses to describe ASU’s nickname. With his allegiance anchored to Tucson, Ariz., any activity within the grounds of Arizona Stadium, McKale Center and Frank Sancet Stadium — you can count on him to be there, too. By design, so fittingly, his graduation day — eight months away — doubles as a last rahrah in McKale to embrace Wildcat pride as a student and first as an alum with a Bachelor’s in Political Science and Master’s in Zona Zoo. That’s just how he’s designed, which is the case of many others living with a mild form of Autism called Asperger syndrome. Most, like Wos, develop passionate obsessions as teenagers and young adults. But most lack the social skills considered essential at a party-hard-and-pack-thestadium school like Arizona. He’s lived through immature roommates that have impersonated him online. Or barricaded him in his own room. By design, unintentionally, athletes like Chase Budinger have made big differences. Budinger and Wos went to the same high school in Oceanside, Calif., so Wos figured that if Tucson’s good enough for the standout basketball recruit, it’s good enough for him. Wos’ strength feeds off professional athletes who exhibit their own on the field to keep him focused. He could’ve let the death of his brother — the four-year anniversary of the accident that caused his death is today — crush his senior year of high school. He could’ve let a fight and suspension in high school tie him down. He hasn’t. Even against his own design.

Head-to-toe in cardinal and navy

You hear the Zona Zoo boast about its numbers all the time: Largest football student section in the Pacific 10 Conference, largest basketball area in the conference, et cetera. But hidden among the tank-wearing bros and cut-

up-dress blondes, there’s a dedicated student fan base outnumbered in size but dominating in heart. He goes to every game. Baseball, basketball, football — every one. Just walking around campus Wednesday, Wos wore his brand new Zona Zoo t-shirt, UA basketball headband and black Arizona hat. He’s got 30 different Wildcat shirts, a set of coasters, a Sean Miller bobble head and enough pride to make UA athletic director Greg Byrne look neutral. We passed a student wearing a Kansas Jayhawks t-shirt, prompting an explanation of the “Wos Rules to on Campus Sports Attire.” “Don’t wear stuff from other schools,” said Wos, who finished with enough Zona Zoo points to attend the year-end athletics banquet last May. “It’s like, ‘what are you doing? Get it together.’” Like that SportsCenter commercial with a student giving a sports-related tour to incoming freshmen, I asked Wos, “Do you ever think, ‘wow, this is where Jason Terry or Gilbert Areans went to class just like you do,’” pointing to a spot close to the Student Union. “Yeah, it’s cool to see athletes around campus,” Wos said, telling the story about last week when he didn’t realize he was standing behind UA basketball starter Kyryl Natyazhko at the bookstore. Natyazhko is one of Wos’ several athlete Facebook friends. He’s got players on the basketball, football, softball and baseball teams. Wos even received a personal thankyou on Facebook from UA baseball ace Kurt

Focused on the fairway

Golf poised to exceed expectations for 2010-11 season By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The men’s and women’s golf teams will begin their 2010-11 season in the upcoming week looking to continue the storied tradition of golf at the University of Arizona. Director of golf and the men’s head coach Rick LaRose always expects his teams to contend for titles, no matter how young they may be. “(It’s) the same thing we always look for at Arizona,” LaRose said. “We look to win the Pac-10 championship and the national championship those are always are goals here.” After facing a sudden head coaching change in the offseason, the future of the women’s team is uncertain. Taking the helm for the women is first year coach and former Wildcat Laura Ianello— who competed for Arizona under former head coach Laura Myerscough— and was on the team for the 2000-01 National Championship. “Laura was my assistant last year when I took the (women’s team) over,” LaRose said. “I thought she would do a good job.” Ianello isn’t letting her inexperience as a head coach dampen her outlook on the upcoming season. With one AllAmerican already on the roster, Ianello feels like the team can really get things going from the start. “I feel like with the team we have this year we can no doubt win every tournament that we play in. That is our goal and just keep playing the best we can,” Ianello said. “Margarita Ramos is one of our All-Americans.

I would love to see all five of our girls get All-American honors this year.” The lone senior on the squad, Alejandra Llaneza, likes what she sees with the coaching change so far. Llaneza is the team captain of the young Wildcats, and one of their best players. “It has been more structured and more organized,” Llaneza said. “The coaches have set more goals in the beginning of practice, so we have specific things to work on, but then we can work on our own thing. I think it has helped us in just staying more focused.” The men’s team and get past the inconsistent play that seemed to linger for too long last year. “We need to play better than we played last year. We played pretty well at times but not consistently,” LaRose said. “I think that will come from our older players, our leaders. They certainly have to be the leaders this year and pull the train a little bit.” One of those older players that LaRose is talking about is Tarquin MacManus. MacManus, arguably the Wildcats top golfer, was selected to the PING AllRegion team this past summer and was also selected to the All-Region team by the Golf Coaches Association of America. According to LaRose, those awards won’t be all MacManus will be taking home this year. “I think Tarquin MacManus is as good as any player in the country,” LaRose said. “He certainly has the heart and the desire to succeed. He just needs to learn how to put it all together.”

Heyer, acknowledging the never-ending support both on and off the field. After all, he’s never left a game early. Except for one: The Holiday Bowl last December, and only because his Mom was over the rainy weather. “And I don’t mess with my Mom,” he said with a laugh.

‘It was just tough’

Family support means everything to Wos, the youngest of three brothers. In sixth grade when Wos transferred school districts and moved up a grade mid-year, his family remained alongside while dealing with the difficulties of pre-teen social acceptance with Asperger syndrome. Sophomore year of high school Wos got into a fight at a speech and debate forum, resulting in a suspension. “It was just tough,” he recalled, frustrated by the social cliques. Four years ago to the day, beginning senior year of high school, his brother died in a motorcycle accident. Today Wos wears two wristbands: A black one in his memory and a green one supporting organ donors, because after his brother was taken off life support on Labor Day, those organs saved a life thanks to a successful transplant. “It was a tough year, but he wouldn’t have wanted us to stop what we are doing,” Wos said, recalling his brother’s memorial service that was standing room only in 2006. A few weeks later, Wos found out he was accepted to the UA. “I wasn’t going to let anything stop me.”

Wos wants roses just as much as any sorority girl does before her annual formal. He suggests that if the Wildcats make the Rose Bowl this year, the Arizona Daily Star’s front page should be a rose. And that’s it. Wos absorbs UA coverage like a sponge. He reads the Arizona Daily Wildcat, Daily Star, ESPN.com, PointGuardU.com . . . the list goes on. Knowing how Wos interacts and contributes so much, Daily Wildcat sports editor Tim Kosch scheduled a lunch with Wos Wednesday to gather input from his entourage of devoted fans and what they like to see in the sports pages. The 52-minute lunch turned into mostly a reminiscing session tied together by a few suggestions, not to mention his plans for the Dec. 2 football game against ASU. “I’ve got class until 12:30, so I’m going to class, dropping stuff off at the dorm and heading right over to the stadium,” he said. It’s similar to the technique he uses for McKale Center, getting there hours before tipoff to sit front row, closest to the visiting bench. “It’s not my seat, but I always sit front row, farthest to the left,” he said.

His Outlet

While dorms typically consist of about 80 percent freshmen, it’s left Wos with a roller coaster of experience living all four years on campus. His newly matured demeanor hasn’t always mixed with the incoming freshmen’s 18-year-old mentalities. Last year, his roommates gave him a hard time, drinking in the room and being disrespectful taste to the new Wos, who found a peaceful outlet through sports and has calmed down since the uneven high school days. “But that almost set me back a couple years,” said Wos, recalling how difficult it was freshman year when he wasn’t active in Zona Zoo, finding it difficult to adjust to college life alone. “It was pretty hard.” Sports takes his mind off getting “seriously homesick.” He’s part of a team and a greater product that he puts ahead of himself. Through the Zona Zoo, he’s made friendships and experienced the college dream through the ups and downs of Budinger, Willie Tuitama and Preston Guilmet. “I may be a big fan, but it’s not about me, I’m part of a unit,” Wos said as if he were a quarterback. “A whole big group of people. “Having an outlet like sports is incredible to let off some steam,” he added. “I just can’t see myself controlled by those issues.” After 90 minutes of chatting about everything the average two UA seniors would, he sat outside his 3:30 p.m. class at the Chavez building and showed me a photo of when he met Byrne last weekend. “Pretty cool,” he said with a smile the size of the UA Mall.

Veteran V-ball players help ease freshmen into college game By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT When the four freshmen on the Arizona volleyball team got to campus during the summer, they knew that there would be an adjustment period, just not how long it would take them. There’s no better way to learn something than to do it, right? Three of the four first-year players saw significant playing time at last weekend’s Shamrock Invitational in South Bend, Ind. The fourth, Tarryn Luafalemana, only missed seeing action because of a foot injury. “I was very pleased (with how they performed). I thought we struggled a little bit in the Cal Poly match, but we made some adjustments, and they did well,” said head coach Dave Rubio. “Candace Nicholson was starting as our defensive specialist, and she did really well … Statistically, there are some numbers that I look at that need to be better, and I think those are indicators of where we are and where we need to go.” Madeline Lozano , in her first season at UA out of Oakmont High School in Roseville, Calif., saw action in all 11 sets last weekend. “I didn’t really expect how college volleyball was going to play until I really was into the game — that’s where it kind of hit me as far as how I need to work throughout the game and play my hardest,” said Lozano. “It’s just faster and you have to be prepared more both mentally and physically. High school was more laid back for me, and this is just way more intense.” Athletic Performance on the court isn’t the only adjustment impacting the freshmen when they arrive on campus.

New players also need to be able to maintain their academic performance and establish their new social lives. Fellow freshman Emily Helm has had a similar experience since making her way to Tucson from Hamilton High School in Chandler, Ariz. “I’ve learned that it’s really hard to come in as a freshman, but being around the older girls, I’ve adapted really well. It was really fun to play against that level of competition and experience it for the first time,” said Helm. “In college, there are a lot more things that you have to balance out. It’s been hard but it’s fun and it’s been worth it.” Fortunately for the Arizona freshmen, they know that they have all of the help and support they need in their four senior teammates. “It’s really hard to come in as a freshman and be thrown into live action, especially playing against some older competition,” said senior setter Paige Weber. “It’s really hard to step out and try to take over a game as a freshman, but I think that they did a great job.” Lozano definitely embraces and uses the support and experience that her senior teammates have to offer. “I rely on them all the time,” Lozano said. “They’re (the freshmen’s) idols, they’re our role models, and I definitely look up to them.” Helm echoed Lozano’s feelings on this year’s senior class. “Yeah, it’s definitely helpful,” said Helm. “They help us a lot, and guide us in the right direction.” Arizona volleyball fans will get to see how much the freshman class has grown since gaining its first experience when UA hosts the Wildcat Classic by Marriott University Park this weekend.

UA provides campus Night Cat for ‘drunk’ alternative

the influence during the first two weeks of this semester. To prevent a DUI, Bill Davidson , a marketing specialist at Parking and Transportation services, suggests getting a ride home from one of UA’s provided services. “One of our best kept secrets is a shuttle at night called The Night Cat. It is there as a safe alternative to walking around campus drunk and receiving a MIP from the University of Arizona Police Department,” he said. The Night Cat is free of charge for UA students. According to Judkins, UMC receives approximately 5,000 trauma patients a year and 40 percent of those are alcohol related. Although UMC does not keep a record of which patients are UA students and which are not, he said the age group at highest risk for trauma is people in their

2008-2010: Comparing Common First Weeks’ Citations

INFO

“The Night Cat” NightCat operates Monday - Friday 6 p.m. — 12:30 a.m. teens to late twenties. “Make healthy decisions for yourself, not for what people think about you,” Judkins said. Freshman Adrienne Dillard has already had an MIP experience this semester. “We were at a party off-campus,” she said. “The cops came and gave everybody tickets for drinking.” Some students decided to flee in order to avoid citation.

Crimes of opportunity such as bike theft, shoplifting, and other forms of larceny are also popular crimes at UA. “Keep an eye on your property, and lock your stuff,” Alvarez said. The most frequent parking infraction on campus is parking in an area you don’t have a permit for, Davidson said. This is especially true around the first few weeks of school, when UA receives a high influx of visitor ’s, parents and new students. According to Davidson, parking violations can cost you anywhere from $8 to $500. “Parking in a disabled parking spot is the one that’s taken the most

Illegal immigration has slowed considerably MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

WASHINGTON — Illegal immigration into the United States has slowed considerably in the last several years, a study released Wednesday concludes. The decline marks the first significant turnaround in two decades, researchers with the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center say. As a result, the U.S. illegal immigrant population may have fallen as much as 8 percent from 2007 to 2009. “We’ve seen a reversal in what had been the long-term growth in the illegal immigrant population,” researcher Jeffrey S. Passel said Wednesday. An estimated 11.1 million illegal immigrants live in the United States. Possibly because of tighter enforcement measures and economic circumstances driving some immigrants back home, the population is down from its estimated 2007 peak of 12 million. “Particularly along the southern border, enforcement has ramped up considerably,” Passel said. “It’s harder and more dangerous for immigrants to cross into the country.” From 2007 to 2009, an estimated 300,000 illegal immigrants sneaked into the United States annually. This marks an improvement over the period from 2005 to 2007, when an estimated 550,000 illegal immigrants entered annually, and 2000 to 2005, when an estimated 850,000 entered each year. Homeland Security Department spokesman Matt Chandler attributed the decline in recent years to “the administration’s unprecedented

commitment of manpower, technology and infrastructure” to the nation’s borders. “The Southwest border is more secure than ever before,” Chandler declared. Illegal immigrants remain concentrated in a small number of states. An estimated 2.5 million live in California, 1.6 million live in Texas and 675,000 live in Florida. California’s illegal immigrant population is down an estimated 3 percent from 2005, while Florida’s fell a far more dramatic 27 percent. In Texas, the illegal immigrant population may have increased slightly, though Passel said that this fell within the margin of error. The researchers caution that their findings, which are based on sampling, are subject to a margin of error, and warn of the inherent uncertainties in tracking an illegal population. Consequently, the overall illegal immigrant population estimates are described as “not conclusive.” The Pew Hispanic Center study arrives at a politically charged time, as state and federal lawmakers debate immigration revisions and border security measures. The Obama administration is challenging a new Arizona law that requires police to check the identification papers of suspected illegal immigrants, and Congress is considering new legislation. “Our borders are just too vast for us to be able to solve the problem only with fences and border patrols,” President Barack Obama said in July, adding that “stopping illegal immigration must go hand in hand with reforming our creaky system of legal immigration.”

seriously,” he said. David Heineking , director of Parking and Transportation, advocates against sneaking out of parking garages. It is a criminal offense, and violators will pay a price close to $500, around the same cost of buying a parking permit. “It’s important: you need to follow the law. If we come across you doing something you aren’t supposed to be doing, you’re going to get in trouble,” Alvarez said. “U of A is like a small city,” adds Davidson. “We always want to make sure everyone is watching out for each other.”

Discovery Channel hostage crisis ends with gunman’s death MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS SILVER SPRING, Md. — Police shot and killed a gunman wearing explosives after he took three people hostage at the Discovery Channel’s headquarters Wednesday afternoon, officials said. A spokesman for the company said it planned to reopen Thursday, though the building remained a crime scene Wednesday evening as authorities searched for explosives that might have been left by the gunman. Authorities identified the gunman as James J. Lee. Lee, 43, who was upset with the channel over its programming and had a history of protesting the company, entered the building about 1 p.m., wielding a gun and wearing silver canisters later described as “explosive devices,” and “told everyone to stop moving,”

attention

according to police. Most of the 1,900 employees were able to escape, but Lee managed to grab three male hostages — an unarmed security guard and two Discovery employees. Tactical officers were able to watch Lee’s movements via cameras. After several hours of telephone negotiations, Lee pulled out his gun and pointed it at one of the hostages, police said. Officers who had been tracking him then took aim at Lee, killing him. Police said there was an explosion at the time of the shooting, but it was unclear whether Lee was shot first or if the device detonated first. All three captives escaped safely. Police said they don’t know what precipitated Lee at that moment. Saying only that the hostages “appeared to be moving” and that might have agitated him.
