Wildcats scratch out Hawkeyes Arizona upsets Iowa, jumps to No. 14 in AP poll
Transferring AZ colleges simplified By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The Arizona Legislature passed a bill aimed at making transferring colleges in Arizona easier. Gov. Jan Brewer ceremoniously signed a bill on Wednesday that compels Arizona universities and community colleges to create a shared course numbering system to enable easier credit transfer for transfer students. The bill, S.B. 1186, was passed by the legislature last spring. The Arizona Students’ Association asked for the bill’s proposal as part of the group’s three major legislative priorities for this year. “A lot of times with transferring there’s either a miscommunication or something is lost in the bureaucracy that makes students have to retake classes,” said Elma Delic, the ASA board chair. “We saw this issue all across the state.” BILL, page 5

Arizona fans cheer on the Wildcats during the 34-27 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday at Arizona Stadium. The loss dropped the Hawkeyes to No. 18 in the AP poll ranking. Head coach Mike Stoops credited the boisterous crowd with being a distraction to Iowa players.

ead coach Mike Stoops walked off of the field wiping tears of joy from his face, players ran to the locker room screaming, “We going to the Rose Bowl,” and no one in red could hide the implications of Arizona’s 34-27 victory over Iowa on Saturday night. The Wildcats’ back-andforth win against the then-No. 9 Hawkeyes in front of nearly 60,000 fans and a national audience was more than just an upset win against a ranked opponent in mid-September. “It’s a character game in a lot of ways,” said Stoops, who opened up his press conference claiming he was speechless. “Those can be programchanging wins.” Senior defensive end Brooks Reed called it “the biggest win I’ve ever been involved in,” and said, “I’ve never been so happy after a game in my life.” Stoops told his team the win
ranked amongst his top two or three wins of all time, and nose tackle Lolomana Mikaele admitted that Stoops “started dancing for a little bit” in the locker room after the game. The victory was Arizona’s biggest non-conference win in nearly 20 years, and catapulted the Wildcats to No. 14 in this week’s AP Top 25 — their highest ranking since 1998. “I know this was a huge win for us and for our program,” said co-defensive coordinator Tim Kish. “It gives us an opportunity to move forward from here and see where it takes us.” But the victory didn’t come

easily, as Arizona’s will and determination was tested after imploding and allowing a 20-point lead to evaporate. Receiver William “Bug” Wright fumbled a punt on Arizona’s 18-yard line, which set up an Iowa touchdown to make it 27-21 Arizona. Quarterback Nick Foles then promptly threw the ball right at Iowa defensive end Broderick Binns, who waltzed into the endzone to tie it up at 27 with 8:12 on the clock. But after Arizona blocked Iowa’s extra point to stay tied, Foles and the Arizona offense drove downfield to take back what it nearly relinquished. FOOTBALL, page 8
The Student Recreation Center is no longer just for working out your body. The Rec Center now houses a satellite location of the Think Tank and will soon open a computer lab. “It may seem odd to people, but I just think it’s great,” said Dorothy Briggs, director of the Think Tank. The Think Tank outgrew its two locations in the Nugent building and the Park Student Union last year. “We just have had so many students and so much traffic through all of our services that we needed more space,” Briggs said. The Rec Center discussed housing the Think Tank when planning remodeling of its entrance area. “We knew they had a need for more space,” said Cody Nicholls, assistant director of business and student development THINK TANK, page 5
Parking given new twist By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Plants, bikes, yoga mats and other “green” things replaced the cars usually occupying parking spots on Friday. Tucson’s third annual PARK(ing) Day allowed people to turn parking spaces into public spaces — this year spots were available on University Boulevard, Fourth Avenue and other downtown areas. PARK(ing) Day is an international event aimed to create awareness about urban sprawl and the need for public space. “(The event is) just to make people aware of driving and all the space that parking spaces take up,” said Teresa Vasquez, downtown planner for the Downtown Tucson Partnership. Tucson had “one of the highest levels of public participation in the world,” according to a press release for the event, as there were more than 80 parking spots were transformed for the event last year. Vasquez said more than 20 organizations reserved parking spots this year. Graduate students from
the UA chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects stood in their parking spot on University Boulevard and yelled, “Gardens on the go! Free plants for your bike!” Their spot was decorated with plants growing in shoes and tires, as well as an “Italian bike” that included all the herbs needed to make tomato sauce. “Everything we’ve put together we’ve pretty much reused,” said Becky Blacher, a landscape architecture graduate student. The students handed out small pots of octopus agave that could be attached to bicycles. “Most people have quirky smiles as they go by,” Blacher said of passing cyclists. Lee Streitz, a landscape architecture graduate student, said the club aimed to show people how much land is used for parking. “We spend so much of our time learning about urban sprawl,” Streitz said of his UA landscape classes. Members of the Acro Yogis, a self-titled group of yoga practitioners, turned

their parking spot on Fourth Avenue into a practice area. The spot was covered in yoga mats and carpet and was surrounded by potted plants. Yogis practiced their moves, which combine acrobatics with yoga, and allowed community members to join. “We just made this space to practice. We normally practice in public parks,” said Leanne Rogers, who practices acro yoga. Rogers said the spot was designed to share their practice “and also to make a statement about being more green and the feasibility of recreating a space.” Campus and community organizations also used PARK(ing) Day to advertise their programs. The Campus Health Service’s OASIS Program used their space outside of Espresso Art Café to hand out fliers and brochures. “There’s a lot of student traffic and definitely a lot of people coming by,” said Karen Johnston, a business management junior and student worker at the Oasis Program. “People expect to see you on the Mall. This is kind of a cool way to reach out.”

business sophomore How do you feel about girls with eating disorders? I do not like anorexic girls. I feel like it’s kind of weird and not attractive. OK, well the reason that I ask you is because today I saw a tabloid at Safeway that said “Snooki’s battle with anorexia.” Do you have any comments? I feel like it is just because she is on “Jersey Shore” and she’s famous and people are making fun of her because she’s kind of fat. So she’s trying to lose weight, I guess. It’s definitely a bad thing though; I don’t think she should do that. Is it sad to you that girls feel that they have to be 100 pounds or less? Yeah it is sad that they feel the need to do that. They shouldn’t do that. If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive at your apartment, who would it be and why? Dead or alive? That is such a random question. I need to think … First person that pops in your head. Leonardo DiCaprio, that’s the first person who popped in my head. Why Leo? Is he a stud in your mind? No, he’s a badass … and a stud (laughs). No, but he always has the best movies, he’s sweet. What’s your favorite Leo movie, aside from “Titanic?” Aside from “Titanic,” that’s a tough one to beat but I think “Blood Diamond” is pretty good. OK, so where did you transfer from and why? From Marquette University in Milwaukee. It was too cold and I definitely don’t like the cold very much and a bunch of my friends go here. So you are just loving the UA lifestyle? Yeah, and the football games. Marquette doesn’t have a football team so that kind of sucks. What is the mascot there? The Golden Eagles. Wow the Wildcats are way better physically and emotionally. Wildcats kick some Golden Eagle ass. But yeah it just wasn’t very fun up there and there are way more students here. It just was not the best choice. My cousin kind of convinced me to go there. Sorry, but back to the Leonardo DiCaprio dinner … what would you cook him? Probably like some burgers or something. You’re going to cook Leo a burger? What is wrong with you? I was thinking more like filet mignon or something. I guess I could try that, a filet and some baked potatoes. Oh you should try that, he would love you. I think we would become best friends and probably hangout all the time. –-Caroline Nachazel

Store clerk keeps elderly man’s $14M lotto ticket A New York convenience store clerk refused to hand back an elderly man’s winning $14 million lotto ticket, the New York Post reported Saturday. Milledge McCassell, 72, went to lottery vendor Dynasty Deli and Grocery to check his $2 ticket on Aug. 26 and “Big Winner!” flashed on the electronic scanner available to customers. However, when he handed his winning ticket to the clerk to find out how much he had won, the
clerk said he was not a big winner and refused to hand back the ticket. New York Lottery Director Gordon Medenica said that when McCassell asked for the ticket back, the clerk told him “he had lost the ticket. The clerk said, ‘I already threw it away,’” Medenica added. McCassell returned to the store three times but was repeatedly rebuffed, and because he had not signed the ticket, anyone turning it in to Lottery officials could have tried to collect.
When State Police officials went to Dynasty Deli the following day, “miraculously” the clerk in question said that he “found” the missing ticket, Medenica said. Lottery officials said they believe the clerk was holding onto the ticket because he was preparing to make a claim for it himself. On Friday, McCassell was finally able to claim his prize, electing to receive a lump sum payment of $8.7 million. –-New York Post

Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 6 — Use your willpower to create an umbrella protecting everyone in your circle. Rely on logic to resolve emotional distress. Move forward with creative projects. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 7 — If everyone works in teams of two, a lot more gets accomplished. One pair may go off in some wild, imaginative direction, but that’s all right. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 7 — Activities move forward like a well-oiled machine. Maintain control over the wheel, and you stay on track and get plenty accomplished. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) — Today is a 7 — Yesterday’s accomplishments put you and a close person in a really good mood. You jump into the week’s activities with great ideas and strong emotional support. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 — Someone needs to take the lead. It doesn’t have to be you. Balance between criticism and optimism may not be as simple as you’d think. Consider all possibilities. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — To take in all the action today would require a very wide-angle lens. Ask someone to record part of it for review, to savor it later.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Choose a direction early and follow it. You get a lot more done if you don’t switch gears every time someone opens their mouth.

Let others wax emotional while you keep your head. Group consensus evolves late today.

if you go Wilko
943 E. University Blvd. 792-6684 Breakfast served daily 7 a.m. until 11 a.m.
Hip eatery Wilko has added breakfast to its menu. Since its shift from semi-convenience store to full-blown restaurant, Wilko has been working to reinvent itself in a delicious way. Although the menu is simple and boasts no bells and whistles, it offers a well-rounded breakfast menu, which it intends to expand. The breakfast menu offers six dishes and a side — steel cut oatmeal with the fixin’s, B Line granola with yogurt, bagel and lox, French toast, quiche, poached eggs on toast and oven-roasted potatoes. For my foray into Wilko’s new options, I opted for the French toast and some roasted potatoes for a price of $10. The portion was good and the French toast was cooked just right — not too soggy and bit crisp on the outside with a perfect hint of cinnamon. It wasn’t overkill on sweet, which you run into at joints like Denny’s, but rather it was a nicely put-together, egg-battered dish to savor. I have an undying love for potatoes, and the lightly seasoned, oven-roasted option Wilko offers was delish. They weren’t too salty or too dry but crisp on the outside, fork tender on the inside — my kind of potatoes for sure. Wilko’s breakfast menu, though small, seems thoughtfully put together. It’s simple and done right — how breakfast should be. The simplicity of the menu is nice. You don’t need to spend an hour deciding which sickeningly sweet, greasy pancake you want. Just go with the classics. Although I’d like to see them flesh this out a bit, maybe add some simple egg dishes or extra sides, for now this menu works. Breakfast is served daily until 11 a.m. Also, Wilko always has a barista on hand for your caffeine needs, because, honestly, what is breakfast without coffee? If you find yourself on University Boulevard before 11 a.m. with a little rumble in your stomach, give Wilko’s new menu a try. It’s sure to satisfy your basic breakfast needs.
Acclaimed novelist Rick Moody to visit Poetry Center By Maitri Mehta Arizona Daily Wildcat Who says the great American novel is dead? Actually, Lee Siegel did in the July 2010 edition of The New York Observer. But that’s beside the point, because the work of Americanborn novelist Rick Moody is an eloquent, masterful slap in the face to the naysayers denying the power and prowess of American literature. Moody will be reading at the UA Poetry Center this Thursday, as a part of the UA Prose Reading Series. Moody is a New York native who spent his adolescent years in the suburbia of Connecticut. His novels are based in the strange landscape of an American suburb, and Moody deftly navigates the nuances of this terrain. His novels have garnered serious critical
acclaim and controversy — Moody has developed somewhat of a cult following. Perhaps the most pivotal of his works, “The Ice Storm” has been adapted to the big screen.
if you go Reading with Rick Moody UA Poetry Center 1508 E. Helen St. Thursday, Sept. 23 8 p.m., free Moody’s work is smart and complicated, showcasing his mastery of language. Among his awards, “Garden State” received the Pushcart Editor’s Choice Award and his
memoir “The Black Veil” (2002) won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir. “The Ice Storm,” Moody’s novel about two suburban neighboring families in the 1970s, is a provocative, controversial and contemporary work. It has been hailed as a most poignant examination of Americana and was adapted for film in 1997 by Ang Lee, with an impressive cast including Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline. Moody, a Columbia alumnus, released his latest novel, “The Four Fingers of Death,” on July 28. He has been featured in numerous publications including The New Yorker, Harper’s, Details, and Esquire. Moody is also a co-founder of the Young Lions Fiction Award at the New York Public Library. Moody will be reading selected excerpts of his prose this Thursday at 8 p.m.

PA S S / FA I L The Daily Wildcat weighs in on the week’s issues.
Voting may be poppin’, but is it informed?
I
The Arizona Students’ Association’s UA Votes campaign, which aims to register university students to vote, exceeded its 100-student-per-day goal last week by signing up 125 students in one day. The method by which UA Votes achieved such numbers, however, can only be called silly. In an event goofily named “Voting is Poppin’,” UA Votes and ASA representatives handed out Otter Pops and popcorn on the UA Mall on Sept. 15 and 16 to students who agreed to register to vote. While the representatives of both groups seemed well-enough informed about the issues and candidates on the ballot, at least based on statements they made to Wildcat reporters, the same is unlikely true for those they registered. And that’s the problem with programs like UA Votes. Voting shouldn’t be a gimmick. Democracy isn’t “poppin’;” it’s actually pretty messy and hard to do well. If UA Votes wants to make a difference in the democratic process — a near-insurmountable but noble goal — it’s not going to do so by handing out free stuff. Rather than organizing cute events to make voting more “fun” and “out there” for students, ASA needs to treat its constituents like adults. If students want to register to vote, it should be because they feel voting is an important means of expressing their political will and influencing local, state and national policy in a constructive way. It should not be to get a snack. For a silly approach to what should be a serious cause, ASA and UA Votes get an incomplete.
You stayed (sort of) classy, Wildcats
After Arizona football fans demonstrated now-infamously asinine behavior by rushing the field after last season’s almostwin against Oregon, officials were wary about whether the ZonaZoo section would manage to behave itself this time around. The 7-foot concrete wall now adorning the student section in Arizona Stadium is a testament to just how nervous Arizona Athletics was about fan antics. If any game was going to test drunken Wildcats enthusiasts’ ability to do their school proud, it was Saturday’s match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Despite the intensity of the game, which ended in a 34-27 upset victory for Arizona, ZonaZoo mostly had its act together. Only a few over-enthusiastic students attempted to rush the field. Everyone else celebrated from the student section, where they belonged. Though there were some crowd-control issues early on, ZonaZoo for the most part carried itself like exactly what it’s trying to become: the student section of a team to be reckoned with. In addition to being obnoxious, rushing the field and other such stunts represent rookie mistakes. The best way for fans to help an upstart team look like it belongs is to act like they’re used to outstanding upsets like the one seen against Iowa. Arizona fans did their team a favor by keeping their cool Saturday, and for that, they deserve a pass.

Tea Party has eye on the prize elected, then something is truly not OK with you or your campaign. The glaring flaw in O’Donnell’s resume is her lack of political experience. That limited experience has Republican voters scared that perhaps independent voters or those on the fence won’t side with an inexperienced person Arizona Daily Wildcat in times of such fiscal concern.

be sure that this Tea “Party” isn’t more than just a far-right fad that discourages more people with their radical cries of foul in regards to every action made by Democrats or Republicans? O’Donnell has been sure to bite the hand that feeds her when it comes to her Republican base. In her campaigning she has already called Republicans before her “lazy” and said support from currently elected Republicans is welcome but not needed. O’Donnell is nothing more than a far-right conservative who beats the Bible with every breath and seems disconnected when it comes to the modern world. She’s openly questioned the viability of AIDS research and has called evolution a “soft science.” It’s apparent that voters just don’t align with her. In her last bid for the Senate, in 2008, she was destroyed by current Vice President Joe Biden, who posted the largest victory of his political career. O’Donnell is a weak candidate who is surfing the Tea “Party” wave. It’s no wonder Republicans are wary when it comes to O’Donnell in a key turnover seat in Delaware. Yes, the country is reeling in financial debt, but is this Bible-crazy, financially unstable candidate what’s best for rectifying that? If you don’t wish to vote for a Democrat, there’s got to be a better independent candidate out there. O’Donnell’s questionable financial decisions, coupled with her very disconnected political stances, make her an unstable candidate who will most likely fail to defeat a Democrat in a notoriously liberal state. In the end, a thank-you note should be sent to the Tea Party activists in Delaware; if it wasn’t for you, the Republicans would be sending a winnable candidate to the ballot and the Democrats might have a little more reason to be shaking in their boots. — Storm Byrd is a political science sophomore.

Air conditioning yields frosty students, empty coffers Brett Haupt

here is a clear consensus when it comes to air conditioning at the UA: Unless you’re from the Arctic, it’s too damn cold. Occasionally, when strolling outside the Student Union Memorial Center past the UofA Bookstore entrance, a cool breeze wafts over you, enticing you to enter the shady depths of over-priced madness. Beware, my friends; don’t stay too long or your arrectores pilorum — the muscles that control your hair follicles and create goose bumps — might activate. The bookstore, the UA Main Library and the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center are the buildings with the most egregious over-air-conditioned offenses, routinely freezing students with sub-70s temperatures. If going to the ILC to study, you’d better come prepared

with a sweater or maybe a beanie. Either way, you’re in for a chill that would send shivers down an Eskimo’s spine. Braving the arctic tundra-like conditions is not even the chief concern. One has to wonder, with such a freeze, what the economic and environmental impacts would be if Facilities Management decided to raise the temperatures of buildings all across campus by only a couple of degrees. The logic seems simple: Turn up the thermostats of all the buildings on campus just a little, make students and faculty more comfortable and in the process save money on what has to be a titanic electric bill. I contacted Director of Facilities Management Chris Kopach to try and get some information about how much the UA spends a month on electricity, hoping to test my hypothesis that a large portion of electricity, especially at this time of the year, goes toward keeping our classes icy. But when Kopach heard my topic, he was perturbed and insisted that I couldn’t only be negative on the subject. Concluding our conversation, he said he would call me the following day with some of the information I requested. Whether by design or accident, he
did not. I have no desire to muckrake; however, this non-reply highlights what could easily be a sticking point with the university — ignorance of a simple change that could save a boatload of money. Since the information could not be obtained, I had to calculate it myself. The UA has 185 buildings on campus as of the 2007-08 academic year. For our region and extreme temperatures, one can estimate that about every 2,700 square feet requires a tonnage of 5 from a standard air conditioner. Extrapolate this data to the average square feet per building at the UA, which I have set at a very conservative 15,000 per building, considering several buildings including the Gould-Simpson building and the University Medical Center have to top out at well over 100,000 square feet, and you get an average of 27 tons per building. Take this tonnage and an energy efficiency rate of 11.0, which again is extremely conservative given that many of the buildings on campus are very old, add in the 2,000 hours of usage per year for our hot region and Tucson Electric Powers’ charge of roughly $0.07 per kilowatthour and you get a per building average of $4,124 per year. Now multiply that by
185 buildings and the result is that the UA spends $762,940 dollars per year from air conditioning alone. Again, these estimates err on the extremely conservative side, and certainly my error ratio is substantial, but $762,940 is a lot of money. Imagine how many thousands of dollars could be saved with just a couple of degrees. There are commendable things that the UA has done to help save energy and push green initiatives, the most notable being the progressive architecture, including awnings and window shades to help eliminate a greenhouse effect, keeping buildings cool without the need of air conditioning. Additionally, Kopach said the UA was in the process of converting many buildings to a computer system that would include the turning off of air conditioning in the evening, until the next morning. Already 22 auditoriums have been converted. That’s a good start, but still doesn’t solve the problem of the chilling daytime temperatures indoors. I’m not asking for anything special — just a little less cold, as the sentiment of my fellow students will confirm. — Brett Haupt is a journalism junior.

Some students were surprised to see the Think Tank at the Rec Center. “I thought it was random but kind of cool,” said nutrition sciences sophomore Jennifer Seals. Tijana Nikolich-Zugich, a prephysiology sophomore, said that although new location will offer more space, she might be distracted by people walking in to work out. “It would make more sense if it was isolated and not glass,” Nikolich-Zugich said. “It definitely wouldn’t be my first choice.” Other students said they might work out and use the Think Tank in the same trip. “I thought it was pretty cool,” said Mack Haggerty, an accounting senior. “I like it. It’s convenient.”

Nicholls said the Rec Center is focused on adding additional services for students besides working out. “We want to try to get past that we’re just a gym here,” Nicholls said. “We wanted to be more inclusive to the university community. We wanted to be able to provide more for the students.” Briggs said the mission of the Think Tank fits wells with the Rec Center, providing resources for “healthy bodies and healthy minds.” “The whole concept of having this space as healthy living space was so exciting to all of us,” Briggs said. Nicholls said the Think Tank has already been effective in drawing students into the center. “We’ve seen students come in and study before workouts and after workouts,” Nicholls said. “We’ve also seen students just coming to study.” The Rec Center will also house a satellite location of the Office of Student Computing Resources.
The lab will include computers for student use. Staff will also be able to offer basic computer help, Nicholls said. The lab is set to open in the coming weeks. Nikolich-Zugich said she finds the expanding services at the Rec Center useful. “There definitely is a lot more than there used to be,” she said.

New system’s cost, education quality concern UA faculty
Delic stressed that the system in Arizona will target the needs of Arizona institutions and students, citing that the bill provides flexibility in how the system is developed. “When we were doing our research for a long-term solution we saw that this would be the best option going forward,” Delic said. Beth Acree, registrar in enrollment management at the Office of the Registrar, said that the bill has not been discussed in any official capacity as of yet. “This is a statewide process, it’s not just a matter of what the UA wants to do,” Acree said. “Everyone, all the colleges, are going to have to get together and decide what this system will look like.” The bill originally prescribed a common course numbering system, where public universities and community colleges across the state would have to adopt a singular numbering system for transferable classes, but was amended to a shared numbering system before passage. ASA modeled its proposal for the common course numbering system after
similar measures already in place in 12 states across the country. Some UA faculty expressed concerns over the cost of implementing a common numbering system. To implement such a system could cost the UA more than $1 million, according to estimations by Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee chair and Faculty Senate Secretary J.C. Mutchler. “That’s a million dollars that can be spent to do something else,” Mutchler said. Financial commitments are also the root of concerns for some UA administrators. “The conversion will be expensive and I would prefer to spend these funds on academic priorities, for example advisers, instructors,” said UA President Robert Shelton. “However, I do understand the desire to simplify.” This is not the first time Arizona has considered a system of this nature. In 2007, the Arizona Academic Program Articulation Steering Committee contacted an outside firm, Hezel Associates, to compile an evaluation
of the state’s transfer model and systems. In their report, Hezel Associates found that “the Arizona transfer system appears to working well and functioning as a tool and system exactly as intended.” Hezel Associates did offer six suggestions for improving the system, all of which pertained to increasing visibility, usability and communication of resources. Mutchler, who is also a professor at UA South, believes there is a substantial need for increased advising and networking between community colleges and Arizona’s three universities. “Anything we can do to get students through degrees quicker, without a loss in quality, is the goal,” Mutchler said. “We’re honestly exploring dozens of options right now to help make education cheaper, get people degrees faster and provide a better quality education.” But he is by no means sold on the bill. “I think that overall the idea of getting students better advising, anything that helps them complete their education in a quality
fashion, that isn’t even in question,” Mutchler said. “I don’t honestly know if this is the best way to do that, though.” Acree shared some of Mutchler’s sentiments. “It’s hard to say whether the benefits are going to clearly outweigh the costs that are going to be involved,” Acree said. “But if it happens then it will be a good thing. It will be very beneficial to our students.” Delic dismissed some of the concerns over the cost of the bill. “People are quoting millions (of dollars) right now, but those figures assume we’re starting from square one, making an entire new system instead of updating our existing one,” Delic said. “I don’t anticipate it being a huge burden on the university, but it will have a huge impact for students.” As per specification outlined in the bill, Arizona universities and community colleges have until Dec. 15 of this year to submit a proposal to the Board of Regents as part of their usual annual reports. “It’s going to be a great day,” Delic said.

‘Why humiliate me like this?’
Read the Daily Wildcat
A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrested a man for drunken driving on Sept. 12. At approximately 1 a.m., an officer was working near Park Avenue and Second Street when a pickup truck didn’t stop at a stop sign. The officer pulled the driver over and noticed a passenger sitting in the bed of the truck. The officer noted the smell of alcohol on the driver’s breath. The driver also had watery, bloodshot eyes and his speech was slurred. The man driving the car identified himself with an Arizona driver’s license and said, “I know I fucked up tonight.” He continued, “I am willing to walk home … I will leave my truck here and walk home.” At this time, another officer arrived to conduct the walk-and-turn test. When the officer explained to the man how the test would be conducted, the man said, “I’ve been drinking, why humiliate me like this? I know I’m drunk, just take me to jail. I don’t want to look stupid and fall all over the place.” The man stated he did not wish to take the walk-andturn test or the one-leg-stand but he agreed to have his blood or breath tested. An officer from the Tucson Police Department arrived and tested the man’s breath. As a result of the breath samples, the man was cited for extreme DUI.
Fraternity man helps ‘little sister’
A UAPD officer diverted a man and woman to the UA diversion program for minor in possession on Sept. 12. While the officer was at a UA-sanctioned party, he observed several individuals that were quickly going in and out of a room. The officer made eye contact with a man who was inside of the room as the door was being slammed shut. The people inside slammed the door every time they saw the officer’s presence. The officer knocked on the door and the man inside appeared nervous as he opened it. The officer asked what was going on with all the traffic goingin and out of the room. The man stated that he was “taking care of his sister in the bathroom,” and that “everything was under control.” The officer asked if his sister was throwing up due to alcohol consumption and if she was able to walk. He also said that if she was ill it was important that she be medically evaluated to prevent her from getting sicker. The man said, “Okay, what do you want me to do?” The officer asked if his sister could walk on her own, to which he replied, “No.” The officer called Tucson Fire Department medics to evaluate the woman. Together, the man and the officer carried his sister outside to the front entrance of the fraternity where the party took place. Upon identifying the woman, the officer learned that she had a completely different last name than the man. The officer asked the man for his “sister’s” identification. He stated she was his sister and provided her correct first name and date of birth but stated her last name as the same as his. A records check returned with no record found. The officer asked the man for his own identification. He gave his correct name and date of birth, but stated he was from Arizona, though no records were found confirming this. The officer then explained the seriousness of his “sister’s” current state and the graveness of lying to the police. At this time, the man gave the officer the correct identification for himself and for the woman. Given the number of empty bottles in the room, the officer asked the man how much alcohol he had consumed, to which he said he had only had three drinks. The man also said that the woman had also been drinking at an off-campus party prior to that. When the man was asked where the alcohol in the room came from, since he was under 21 years of age, he stated that it didn’t start with that much alcohol and said, “Stuff just started piling up as the night went on.” While the man was on the dance floor he didn’t even know that the woman was in his room until someone notified him. The officer informed the man that this incident was to be referred to the UA Student Diversion Program. Tucson Fire Department arrived on the scene after they talked to the woman and evaluated her. They informed the UAPD officer that she didn’t need to be taken to a hospital. The woman was accompanied back home by the fraternity social chair — who was sober — and had been by the officer’s side nearly all throughout the night. The woman’s roommate accompanied her home as well.
Police pause for plastered pledge
A man was stopped by UAPD while he was walking near University Boulevard and Highland Avenue on Sept. 12 at 2:40 a.m. The man was wobbling severely and swaying from side to side as he walked. The man had an extremely strong odor of intoxicants on his breath and was perspiring from his face. He also had watery, bloodshot eyes. Officers noticed that he seemed confused and his speech was slurred. The man admitted to drinking at a fraternity house that he was pledging to join. He told he officers he would not submit to a breath test. He was cited and released for a minor in possession.
‘I bust the windows out your car’
An unknown person used a brick to break out the rear window of a vehicle parked in front of a sorority house on Second Street sometime between Sept. 11 and Sept. 12. At approximately 6:45 a.m. an officer conducting a patrol noticed the damaged car. The officer saw that there was a hole in the center of the window, but that not all of the glass had been broken out. The hole that was left in the window did not appear to be big enough for a person to have gained access to the rest of the vehicle. The officer did not locate any evidence that someone had entered the vehicle. On the ground behind the car the officer found a brick, about six inches square, which may have been used to break the window. The officer made a phone call to the driver of the vehicle, who later arrived on the scene. The driver did not have any information regarding who may have broken her car window and said that it would have happened sometime overnight. The officer asked the woman if there were any cameras in front of the sorority that may have captured the individual breaking the window. She then stated that she did not know but she would look into it. She said she did wish to press charges. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Offensive and defensive lines difference makers in win By Mike Schmitz and Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
With Iowa’s highly praised running attack along with the Hawkeyes’ NFL-caliber defensive line, it was clear the game would be won up front. Most thought that victory would go to the Hawkeyes, but the Arizona offensive line did a tremendous job protecting quarterback Nick Foles, while the defensive line held Iowa to 29 yards on 26 carries and sacked Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi six times. “Our front four really blocked well. I thought that was the difference in the game,” Stoops said. “Couldn’t be more proud of our offensive line. They played a great game. We knew that was going to be the difference, in getting Nick (Foles) some time to throw the ball.” The Wildcats figured to run into problems against projected top-5 draft pick and defensive end Adrian Clayborn. But senior offensive linemen Adam Grant took Clayborn completely out of the game. Iowa’s top defensive player totaled only three tackles, none for a loss and zero sacks. “I’ll tell you what, Clayborn’s a big, strong guy,” Grant said. “He actually got me a few times and I like to think that I got him a few times. “Coach Bill (Bedenbaugh) puts high expectations on the whole offensive line. As far as I can see we came out and did our job.” As for the defensive line, Arizona took Iowa completely out of its game plan with the big plays early on and never allowed the Hawkeyes to establish a ground game. “I think the front seven, we filled all the seams when we had seams open with the linebackers and the safeties. So, very pleased,” said co-defensive coordinator Tim Kish. “We really kind of made them one-dimensional. Give us credit for stopping the run early in the game.”
Douglas to the rescue
When Juron Criner went down with a toe injury, Foles was without his go-to receiver. Foles then turned to David Douglas, the starting outside receiver opposite of Criner — and Foles’ roommate. “I have all the confidence in the world (in Douglas) and I know what he’s capable of doing,” Foles said. Douglas finished the night with seven catches for 74 yards and a score and seemed to make big first down catches whenever the Wildcats needed a play. “I’m confident in all of our receivers, but everyone knows (Douglas) is my roommate and I know him real well and know he’s going to make plays,” Foles said. “He better,

because we’ve got to go home after.”
Big plays set the tone
Arizona’s statement game was a contest full of big plays made by bigtime players. Although the game came down to one final drive, Arizona truly won the game in the first quarter, as it jumped ahead to a 14-0 lead despite having run only eight offensive plays to Iowa’s 25. Wide receiver David Roberts set the tone, blocking a punt on Iowa’s first series of the game, which set up a Foles touchdown pass
to Douglas. On Iowa’s very next series cornerback Trevin Wade picked off Stanzi and took it 85 yards for the score. Then add in an electric 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by receiver Travis Cobb, and the Wildcats needed very little from Foles and the offense until it mattered most. It was game-changing plays like those that gave Arizona a ton of momentum moving forward and allowed them enough cushion to fend off Iowa’s late-game surge.
Impact game
Arizona had lost seven straight games to Big Ten Conference teams. The last time the Wildcats won against a Big Ten Conference team was in 1998 when they hosted Iowa in Tucson. Iowa hasn’t won a game west the Rocky Mountains since 1987. The Hawkeyes are now 0-7 since then. Saturday’s Iowa-Arizona showdown was the only matchup between two ranked teams NOTES, page 8
Welcome Turner verbally commits to the party, to Arizona Wildcats Hoops notebook
Five-star recruit pledges over the weekend By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Did the men’s basketball program have a better weekend than its football counterparts? Maybe not, but for being the offseason, it couldn’t have gone much better. Five-star point guard recruit Josiah Turner verbally committed to the Arizona men’s basketball program yesterday, giving head coach Sean Miller the most highly-touted recruit of his young Wildcat career. Turner, a 6-foot-3, 185 pound player from Sacramento, Calif., is ranked by Rivals.com as the second best point guard in the 2011 class and the 10th best recruit in the nation. That makes him the top recruit Miller has earned a commitment from. The verbal agreement came as Turner joined fellow 2011 commitment Nick Johnson, a guard from Gilbert, Ariz., for his official visit in Tucson this weekend. “I got a good relationship with the coaching staff, I got to bond with the players on the team,” Turner said. “That was a big de-

It’s difficult to sum up everything that happened at Arizona Stadium on Saturday night. The Wildcats upset the then-No. 9 Iowa Hawkeyes, which in and of itself is impressive, but the way they went about it really said something about the state of the program. That one game was a small, 60-minute embodiment of everything the program has been through over the past decade. Going into the game, Arizona knew it needed to get off to a fast start to have a chance, and it did just that by jumping out to a 14-0 lead while only having 13 yards of offense and then pushing that lead to a 27-7 lead at the half. The first half could not have gone better for Arizona — it was the highest of highs. It was like the 2005 upset of then-No. 7 UCLA, the 2007 upset of then-

the only school to have its head coach act as the main recruiter. “Most of the other schools, their assistants were recruiting me,” Turner said. “But at Arizona, Sean (Miller) started recruiting me. He took over the job for (associate head coach) Archie (Miller). “That really made me feel like this was the one.” Along with friends Nick Johnson and forward Sidiki Johnson out of Oak Hill Academy, Turner makes the 2011 recruiting class three players deep. Turner and Nick Johnson played on the same AAU team and Turner believes that despite both players being scoring point guards, they already have chemistry on and off the court. “I’m not really thinking about that right now,” he said of who will play the point. “We can play together either way.” A Tweet by Nick Johnson yesterday also confirmed his support for Turner’s decision: “have official locked up Jossey T ... letsss gooo.” Not surprisingly, Turner said he’s not expected to take any more official visits. Arizona beat out a final recruiting list of Kansas, Oregon, UCLA and Louisville, Turner said.
and Nick Johnson will make for the most athletic backcourt in the Pacific 10 Conference. “He’s tough to guard, he’s a big-time finisher. He’s very, very good off the dribble,” Telep said. With his point guard skills developing, Turner can use his speed and quickness to cause havoc in the lane, either to put up large sums of points or create for his teammates, Telep said. Miller probably will enjoy watching a long, athletic guard playing his chippy man-to-man defense as well.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles was once an ASU Sun Devil commitment. Now, he’s one of the nation’s rising quarterbacks, leading Arizona into legitimacy as a program. Oddly enough, Turner was also a Sun Devil commit. Turner decommitted from ASU in July 2009, feeling he missed out on going through the recruiting process after giving the Sun Devil’s a verbal months before his sophomore year of high school.
Favorite ‘Cat
Living on the West Coast, Turner said he’s familiar with Arizona’s point guard tradition. “I always watched them,” he said. “I like Jerryd Bayless, and Gilbert Arenas was my favorite player. He’s always been my favorite player.”

But then quarterback Nick Foles led a touchdown drive that could not only turn him into the national star that he can be but Arizona into the national powerhouse that it can be. After Arizona’s 19-6 victory over Central Michigan in 2009, then-offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes summed up the victoryamidst-the-turmoil game by saying, “The thing that I’m proud of is that two years ago this is a game we probably would have lost.” This game had that feel, too. All of Arizona Stadium’s capacity crowd was on pins and needles while the game started to slip away in a fashion that could only happen to Arizona. ESPN’s
cameras seemed to be trained on the reactions of Stoops, who, after a while, retired his angry, frustrated look for a more casual “can we please catch a break” smile. But that Foles-led drive, which was highlighted by an incredible catch by David Roberts, did much more than anything the Wildcats did to preserve the Central Michigan victory. It put the Wildcats on the map against a team that, historically speaking, is better than them, and they did it in front of a national audience on ESPN. Being ranked No. 14 on the AP Poll and starting the season 3-0 is merely the beginning of a long season, but if the college football gods invited its 15 most worthy guests to a dinner party, Arizona would have a seat at the table. That’s something that hasn’t been said in Tucson in a long time. — Tim Kosch is journalism senior and the sports editor at the Arizona Daily Wildcat. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

The Wildcats weren’t very hospitable to their guests at the Arizona Invitational by Lodge on the Desert. The volleyball team beat North Texas University, Pepperdine University, and New Mexico State University — all in three-set sweeps — in a manner that could only be described as dominating. Arizona opened the tournament against North Texas, who gave the Wildcats a little bit of a scare in the first set before UA rebounded to sweep the Bobcats in straight sets. “I think in the first set, we let them get more points off of us than we should have — we had a lot of errors,” said senior Whitney Dosty. “After that, I think we really picked it up.” With the Wildcats holding a 19-5 lead in the third — and ultimately final — set, Arizona head coach Dave Rubio took the chance to get some of his reserves actual game experience. However, the Arizona bench wasn’t able to keep momentum, and saw its time in the spotlight end after North Texas closed the gap to an 8-point lead. “If I can, I want to get them some playing time,” said Rubio. “Momentum is pretty fickle — boy, it can switch on you. When the game is so unforgiving, then you just aren’t able to play the kids as much as you would want.” After downing North Texas, the
Wildcats faced their stiffest competition of the weekend in the Pepperdine Waves. The first game couldn’t be decided in only 25 points — Arizona ultimately won the set 27-25 en route to its second three-set sweep of the tournament, due in large part to the Wildcats’ attention to blocking. “In the beginning, our blocking was pretty shaky, so we decided to just take a deep breath and start over,” said junior middle blocker Courtney Karst. “We needed to stop No. 13 (Kim Hill) over on the other side, so we just needed to get our hands over fast and stop them.” Cursty Jackson, a junior in her first year at Arizona after transferring from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, reiterated the importance of blocking in the victory over Pepperdine. “As blockers, we just started paying attention to detail,” Jackson said. “We started calling where the hitters were, where the hitters were going — so that really helped.” The Wildcats were visibly more emotional during the match — presumably because of the stiffer competition. “I think winning just feels good. Blocking, getting a stuff-block, I think that’s probably the best feeling you can get playing volleyball,” Jackson continued. “I know everybody was hyped up today. I think everyone did awesome.” After downing Pepperdine, the Wildcats passed their last test before
Pacific 10 Conference play, and they did it with flying colors. Arizona swept New Mexico State in dominating fashion, with only one set decided by less than five points. “I don’t think we’re where we need to be right now … we still have some things to work on,” Rubio said. “We’ve had two real good weeks of practice, so we’re starting to see some of those results, but we’re still not quite where we need to be. In general, (the weekend) was good.” Arizona will open Pac-10 play this weekend, which includes a visit by the nation’s No. 1 team — Stanford University.

Quick hits from Arizona’s 34-27 win over Iowa
over the weekend. With the win, Arizona takes a 7-6 lead in the all-time series between the two schools. Iowa won 17 of its last 19 games prior to being defeated by the Wildcats. Arizona has not started the season 3-0 — perfect going into Pac-10 Conference season — since 2001 when it defeated San Diego State University, Idaho and University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In 2010, Stanford and Oregon are the other Pac-10 schools that are still perfect on the season. Arizona will take on California next weekend for the third home game in a row.

notes
V-ball sweeps away competition in Arizona Invitational
season. Iowa’s defense has held opponents to zero points on their opening drive 26 of the last 28 games. Arizona, however, took advantage of great field position as a result of a blocked punt that set up the Wildcats inside the red zone. Foles hit receiver Douglas for a score before three minutes had ticked off the clock.
Switching roles
The Hawkeyes defensive line had been hailed as one of the best in college football prior to Saturday’s game. Clayborn had been considered the best at his position in college football, similar to Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh in last year’s Holiday Bowl. But unlike the Holiday Bowl, it was Arizona’s defensive line that stole the show. The Wildcats had 10.5 tackles for a loss, with a total 53 yards lost. The defense also had six sacks for 44 yards, including four in a row, to end Iowa’s threat to score late in the
fourth quarter. Arizona is now tied for sixth in the nation with 11 sacks on the season, averaging 3.67 per game.
Wildcats currently rank in seventh place among FBS schools with an average of 11.67 points per game and 35 points over all.
Wade a scoring machine against Iowa
The refs were busy
For the second year in a row, Wade had a pick-six off of Stanzi, which he returned for an 85-yard score. The interception was Stanzi’s first of the year. While the interception return for a touchdown is normally an indication of trouble for an offense, Iowa went 4-0 last season in games that Stanzi threw a pick-six. Iowa won the most amount of games that involved a pick-six in 2009 and the Hawkeyes are the only team since at least 2004 to survive interceptions returned for a touchdown in four separate games in a single season. Plays like Wade’s are helping Arizona climb the defensive scoring charts. The
Despite its success, Arizona had 12 penalties for 103 yards. That ties Arizona’s record with the most penalties called against the Wildcats since 2005 during a 31-24 loss to Purdue.
Injury report
Although Arizona’s victory was monumental, they did pick up a pair of injuries along the way. Criner was forced out of the game late in the second quarter, and fullback Taimi Tutogi had to leave the game in the first. Neither were able to return, but the injuries aren’t thought to be serious. “He had a turf toe tonight, so I don’t know,” Stoops said of Criner, while there was no update on Tutogi.
’Cats make national statement with 34-27 win over Iowa
Foles, who finished with 303 passing yards, two scores and an interception, hit Wright in the back of the endzone on a pressure-packed third and goal from the 4-yard line, giving Arizona the lead. “I think those are characterbuilding drives and changing drives for programs and perception drives,” Stoops said. “That’s
a big one by a big-time player and a good football team.” Iowa still had a chance to answer, with just under four minutes on the clock, but Arizona’s defense gave Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi and company no breathing room. The Wildcats brought the heat with a formation they hadn’t showed all season, and it worked
perfectly, resulting in four straight sacks to close out the game — two from redshirt freshman Justin Washington, and one each from Reed and senior Ricky Elmore. “We felt like we needed to come after them because the last thing we wanted to do was sit back and play a soft defensive coverage,” Kish said. “We decided to pin our ears
back and see where it took us, and the little bit of a gamble paid off.” Aside from 12 penalties and a pair of costly turnovers, Arizona was impressive in almost every phase of the game, and the Wildcats couldn’t have picked a better time to prove their worth than against a top-10 team on ESPN. They played up to the compe-
tition, battled adversity and captured one the biggest wins Tucson has seen in two decades. “I’ve never been a part of a game like that, where we challenged a higher ranking team,” Reed said. “Man, everything came together and guys made big plays. “This game is definitely a corner-turner.”

Soccer ties, loses over weekend
Women’s XC dominates Dave Murray Invitational
‘Cats struggle in Cuellar’s absence By Michael Fitzsimmons ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
There was something missing for the Arizona Wildcats soccer team in its 1-1 tie to Central Florida on Friday and disappointing 5-1 loss to Ohio State on Sunday in the Cats Classic Presented by Loews Ventana Canyon Resort — its leading scorer. Junior Renae Cuellar did not play for undisclosed reasons in both of Arizona’s matches this weekend, forcing the Wildcats to adjust on offense without her presence. Head coach Lisa Oyen would not answer any questions regarding the severity of Cuellar’s injury. Unfortunately, the Wildcats’ attack was held in check in both matches and could not provide a spark on Sunday in what Oyen described as the team’s worst performance of the year. “This is the first game of the year where we can walk off saying we didn’t come ready to play,” Oyen said after the game. “They know they didn’t come out and play the quality of soccer they should have. “It’s a tough lesson, if we don’t show up and put out our best effort individually and collectively, it’s just not going to happen.” The Buckeyes (6-2-1) played aggressive defense on the ball and quickly stifled any scoring chances for the Wildcats throughout the game. If not for freshman Jensen Skinner ’s impressive goal— her third of the season, on a corner kick that she drilled from the corner into the top shelf of the net in the 74th minute — Arizona would have suffered its second shutout loss of the season. Ohio State’s offense doubled Arizona’s shot attempts 16-8 and featured an attack that was difficult for Arizona (2-4-2) to
The UA women’s crosscountry team battled six other schools, a rough course and a blistering sun but still managed to conquer all and win the Dave Murray Invitational. Hannah Moen won individually with a time of 16:56.65 in the 3-mile race. The team average for this meet was 17:14.36. “Looks good, I don’t think it’s nothing too unexpected,” said head coach James Li. “We really did affirm how great we could be. It was a really good team finish.” The team finish that Li referred to had eight UA runners finish in the top ten. Moen captured first place followed by a runner from ASU. Wildcats Jennifer Bergman and Elvin Kibet were right behind as they crossed the finish line. “It was a lot of fun, I finished and it was just fun,” Moen said. “I felt really good. I think that this year we are going to be solid. Last year we were hoping to get to nationals. But this year we are already there, but we just want to do something there now.” Moen admitted that her legs started to die a little toward the homestretch but Bergman yelled words of encouragement that gave her the motivation to keep running at full speed. “The smaller gap the better because once we get into these big races we can fit 50 people between your one and your two and then you’re going to be in big trouble,” said assistant coach Erin Dawson. Freshman phenom Kibet continued to impress the coaching staff. In only her second crosscountry race she was able to capture fourth place. “I think she is running very well. Being a freshman

“We had our opportunities to finish the game off in the first 90 minutes, and in overtime,” Oyen said. “It took us awhile to realize what it was going to take to match up against a team like this.” Oyen wouldn’t direct excuses towards Cuellar’s absence but instead focused on rallying a frustrated Arizona team that failed to win back-to-back games for the first time in over a year. The team will train this week with the bitter taste of a lopsided defeat. “It was a little bit somber just because of the outcome,” Oyen said of the team’s mood. “We’re going to bounce back, I know the players weren’t happy with the result as well,” Oyen said. “They’re going to work and they’re going to get better until they become the team they want to become.”
Men slowly improving
Steven Sambu. Remember that name. Sambu showed on Friday why he was the number one junior college runner in the nation last year. In just his first meet as a Wildcat, Sambu fended off top competition to capture first place in the 4.25-mile race. As a team, the UA received second place just behind ASU. The team average was 21:42.45, which was five seconds behind ASU. “I feel comfortable, I feel good, I feel strong from the beginning,” Sambu said. There was a significant drop off after the first three runners. The next UA runner, Patrick Zacharias, was 1 minute and 33 seconds behind Sambu. “For the most part I am really happy,” Li said. “Freshman Pat (Zacharias) did great, I am really proud of Pat (Zacharias) today. For a freshman, he is running really well. “Other guys, some of them did well and some did not so well, which is not to out of the ordinary. We need to have good depth in order to have a better team showing.” Zacharias finished in 11th place with a time of 21:41.14 in only his second meet as a Wildcat. “The guys look great,” said assistant coach Erin Dawson. “I am excited to see how he progresses this season. Pat Zacharias is an awesome freshman coming in and he is going to be a huge contributor to the team.”

slow down. “They tried to combine a lot up top. They were active and they had a lot of different options,” Oyen said. “It wasn’t a matter of us stopping one player but more of stopping the attack collectively. For whatever reason, we weren’t very good with that today.” Without Cuellar, freshmen Ana Montoya and Jazmin Ponce were asked to step up. Despite the tough result on Sunday, Ponce led the team in shots in both matches, while Montoya scored Arizona’s other goal on Friday against Central Florida (5-2-1) to raise her season total to two. The Wildcats had a number of scoring opportunities against the Golden Knights on Friday to put the game away but were forced to settle for the tie after 110 minutes of soccer.

English-learners pick up language quickly MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Anne Cusack/Los Angeles Times
Reyna Marisol Chicas, 32, the woman identified as the leader of a small religious group was held for questioning after a 22-hour search sparked by fears of a suicide pact, officials said Sunday.
Religious group found safe after 22-hour search MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE PALMDALE, Calif. — The group left behind farewell letters, personal documents and cash and took off into the night on a mysterious religious trip. For the next 22 hours, horses, helicopters and patrols would comb the sprawling desert terrain around Palmdale as satellite trucks from nationwide news outlets moved in. Two scenarios loomed large, one unthinkable: a suicide pact that included eight children, inspired by the belief that the biblical “rapture” was upon them. But relief set in Sunday as the second scenario prevailed: authorities found all 13 gathered comfortably at a manicured park less than 10 miles from a Los Angeles County sheriff’s station. Reyna Marisol Chicas, 32, a Salvadoran immigrant identified as the group’s leader, offered up little to deputies Sunday, and initially gave authorities a different name when approached at Jackie Robinson County Park, east of Palmdale, Calif. The other 12 members of the group, among them Chicas’ two children and six other minors, agreed to be taken to the Palmdale sheriff’s station, department spokesman Steve
Whitmore said. County child-welfare authorities have been brought into the case, and Chicas was being held Sunday for a 72-hour involuntary mental health evaluation. The search began when concerned relatives contacted the Sheriff’s Department about 2 p.m. Saturday, saying they feared for their family members’ safety. Whitmore said the letters left by the group read like “a will and testament.” They were addressed to parents and other loved ones and included phrases such as “Please take care of, Don’t worry, Here’s some cash,” he said. Letters written by two of the 14 year olds were identical, which Whitmore said may indicate they were coached. The group was found around noon, sitting on blankets laid out in the shade of a pine tree. A resident who had seen news reports on the missing group spotted them and called the Sheriff’s Department about 11:30 a.m. Chicas was playing with some of the children on the swings, while the others sat on blankets praying, said sheriff’s Capt. Mike Parker. “They seemed shocked,” Parker said. “They said, ‘We are Christians, and we would never
harm ourselves.’“ When deputies told them that notes and personal belongings they left behind had made relatives suspect otherwise, they responded by saying, “It’s sinful to have (worldly possessions) when you’re praying because they bring evil,” Parker said. Far from spending the night in the dry, windy desert around Palmdale, as suspected, the group had slept at the home of Chicas’ friend, he said. The patrol officer came across three cars occupied by several women and children, parked outside a Palmdale high school about 3 a.m. Saturday. When he asked what they were doing at the school at that hour, they said they were praying to end school violence and sexual immorality. The group was known for previous forays into desert and mountain areas, apparently related to a belief in an imminent biblical “rapture,” in which believers would be transported to heaven. When found, group members, including children, called Chicas “their leader” and “an inspiration.” Although none of the 13, including Chicas, are facing criminal charges, Whitmore promised extensive follow-up on the case.
When Giselle Martinez started kindergarten at south Modesto’s Bret Harte Elementary, her English vocabulary consisted of just a handful of words. The second-grader now speaks English with confidence and proudly dug through a classroom book bin recently to show off her most recent accomplishment: an 80-page book she read on her own. “I felt proud of myself and happy,” said Giselle, who speaks only Spanish at home. Several new sets of data suggest that “English learners” like Giselle are picking up the language faster. In fact, the figures show fewer English learners in California public schools, period. The number of students statewide who aren’t proficient in English dropped to its lowest level in about a decade during 2010. It’s not that fewer Englishlanguage learners are enrolling in school, it’s that the number of students who don’t speak English at home is significantly higher today than it was a decade ago.

Suit over MySpace rant has First Amendment implications MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE A jury will begin deliberations Monday in the case of a woman who accuses her former high school principal of ruining her family’s life. In 2005, Cynthia Moreno posted a rant about her hometown of Coalinga, Calif., on the MySpace.com social-networking site, thinking only her Internet friends would be interested. But Roger Campbell, then principal of Coalinga High School, sent a copy to the local newspaper, which published it.

The result, Moreno said, was intense community outrage, leading to death threats that drove her family out of town. Someone even shot the family dog. The dog recovered — but Moreno didn’t. Now she is trying to make Campbell pay. But if she prevails, experts say, the legal result could have a chilling effect on the news-gathering process nationwide. That’s because she’s going after Campbell for bringing the newspaper an authentic piece of information that was public.

12 kindergartners from those homes are deemed English learners. But those children are being reclassified quickly. Foreign language students who demonstrate proficiency in English, mostly through standardized testing, are classified as “fluent- English-proficient.” Fluent-English-proficient students outnumbered English learners in grades six through 12 during 2009, the most recent year for which data are available. A decade prior, that could be said only for students in grades 10 through 12. The trend has broad implications. It’s hard to succeed in California without speaking English. Educators say learning English early helps improve students’ overall achievement. English-proficient children also can serve as a bridge between their parents and society. About 100,000 local children over age 5 live in a household where the primary language is not English, U.S. Census Bureau figures show. Seventy percent of those children speak English “very well,” a much higher rate than the adults living with them.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships 53% of UA students who are single or dating have never had vaginal intercourse. (2010 Health & Wellness Survey, N=2,931)
Q
When my boyfriend and I have sex sometimes he goes too deep and it really hurts. A day or two later, I have sometimes noticed blood spotting on my underwear, but it never lasts for more than a day. Could this be a serious medical problem or is it ok to let it heal on its own?
A. The spotting you are noticing could be due to an irritation or infection of the cervix. Sometimes during deep intercourse, the penis can reach the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects with the vagina, causing the pain that you describe. According to the staff at the Women’s Health Clinic here at Campus Health, the best course of action is to get checked out, since a medical provider (doctor, nurse, or nurse practitioner) can do an exam to better diagnose the issue and can determine if treatment is needed. To help prevent this from happening in the future, talk with your boyfriend (if you haven’t already) about ways you can both enjoy sex that may reduce the pain and irritation you are experiencing. Chances are, he will be receptive to exploring ways to make sex more pleasurable for you and will look to you for suggestions. Different positions or changing up the pace of sex are good places to start. You might also consider using a personal lubricant to reduce friction during intercourse to see if that helps. The Women’s Health Clinic at the UA Campus
