WRITE OR WRONG
Cheating detection software may allow students to escape scrutiny By Brenna Goth Daily Wildcat
A website allowing students to check their work for plagiarism aims to help them avoid accidental violations — but it could enable others to cheat. WriteCheck.com, run by the same company as Turnitin.com, is marketed as a plagiarism detection tool for students. The service checks essays and papers for plagiarism as well as grammar, style and spelling errors. Users create an account and can check one paper for about $7. Results from WriteCheck highlight the material found in the turnitin.com database. Users can tweak their papers and resubmit them up to three times. WriteCheck advertises its ability to prevent students from being caught for accidental plagiarism. However, the site raises
the concern of whether it can be used to enable undetectable cheating by allowing students to check which sources are caught in the Turnitin database. The service goes against the spirit of the Code of Academic Integrity if used to doctor essays until plagiarism passes through Turnitin unnoticed, said Owen Davis, a professor of geology who uses Turnitin in his natural science general education course. “It may not violate the letter of the law,” Davis said. “But it certainly bypasses the spirit of the exercise.” Professor use of Turnitin has grown since the service came to campus nearly a decade a go, said Wayne Brent, senior consultant for emerging technology for the Office of Instruction and Assessment. Usage grew especially quickly last year after the service was integrated into D2L, Brent said. Brent offers administrative support to professors using Turnitin. “They can use it more quickly and transparently,” he said. Nearly half of professors in the College of Science use Turnitin for research papers
and lab reports, said Tom Fleming, an associate astronomer in the Department of Astronomy who coordinates Turnitin for the College of Science. Fleming said he catches about three incidents of plagiarism each semester in his courses. Most students plagiarize due to time constraints or because they thought they could get away with it, Fleming said. Cases of accidental plagiarism should be addressed in how students are taught to read, digest and rewrite information, he said. “The student should know whether they wrote it or not,” he said. Those who are caught plagiarizing fail the course, Fleming said. He said he opted not to enable the Turnitin feature allowing students to see the plagiarism report. “Then you’re allowing students to gain access to the system if they want to cheat,” Fleming said.

The Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Law, or PPEL, major grew by 78 students over three semesters, which some PPEL students say is due to the variety of courses offered and the distinguished instructors. The UA began offering the major in fall 2010 after faculty in the philosophy, economics and government and public policy departments wanted to start a PPEL program, according to Laura Howard, the PPEL academic adviser and a philosophy instructor. Howard said the inspiration behind starting the major was the number of students who were interested in all of these subject areas, and that students had a hard time finding a major where all of these subjects overlapped. A student can declare the PPEL major at any time, but declared PPEL majors must complete four “foundation” or prerequisite courses in economics, philoso-
phy and political science before moving up to to “core” courses, which are for PPEL majors only. Brenna Keene, a PPEL junior, said she first heard about the major after seeing a poster about it in Slonaker House and thought it sounded “really interesting” and could be something she would “love to study.” “Every day I feel like I’m learning something that applies to life,” she said. “I love it. The professors are fantastic and really down to earth.” As a freshman, Keene came into the UA as a biology major, then switched to public administration before declaring PPEL. Although she said being unsure about what she wants to do with a PPEL degree gave her reservations about switching, she is interested in what she’s studying. “Something good will definitely come from this,” Keene said. “A lot of it has to do with the work and effort I’m willing

UA launches leadership association Offshoot of Leadership Programs will supplement existing offerings By Samantha Munsey Daily Wildcat
Beth Krumbein, a PPEL junior, said she has been a business and political science major and then wanted to become a philosophy major. The PPEL major “tied it all together,” she said. “It encompasses everything I was interested in,” she said. “You know a lot of people in your classes, we have study groups all the time. It’s great.” Krumbein said she was attracted to the major for a variety of reasons: an eclectic group of students, talented professors and that in her 12-unit track, her honors thesis counts as six of those credits. Once graduated, she said she plans to go to law school. The major can prepare students for law school because of the analytical work it offers and the education in politics and government, according to Howard. She said PPEL graduates can work in government relations, corporate relations, government
UA students interested in leadership opportunities can now get connected with other student leaders across the country. The UA’s Leadership Programs launched the newest component to its services, the National Collegiate Leadership Association, earlier this month. The new association is an addition to the National Collegiate Leadership Conference the UA hosts every spring semester where students from all over the U.S. come to campus to learn about leadership skills and practices. The association provides students the chance to gain that same experience throughout the year online and any time throughout the day. “In our strategic planning for the conference we started to see a need for leadership development on a national level,” said Thomas Murray, senior coordinator for the Leadership Programs and National Collegiate Leadership Association. “We started the program so that any student from anywhere can sign up for it and engage in leadership development regardless of their time commitment and finances because we offer it at a very low cost.” For a fee of $15 per year, students can sign up for the program through the association’s website and gain access to online workshops, networking options, building an e-portfolio, and joining monthly webinars hosted by professors and experts in the field of leadership. The first webinar will be hosted by Murray today at 5 p.m. on the association website where he will discuss the development of group dynamics and how to negotiate conflicts. “It’s kind of like having the National College Leadership Conference year-round,” said Janae Phillips, who is a student assistant to the program and a family studies and human development junior. “Because it is like having that weekend during the conference where you meet everyone and exchange ideas. It’s an extension of that, but it happens all year instead of just that one weekend.” Though the site only began taking users on Sept. 1, the association is already signing up members in Pennsylvania, Iowa and Washington, and is in negotiations with other universities to include whole classes and groups in the association.

New major sees major growth By Eliza Molk
Michael Drake, director of the UA Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, died on Wednesday at the University of Arizona Medical Center — University Campus. The cause of his death has not yet been disclosed Drake, 65, came to the UA in 1973 and began serving as the director of the laboratory and head of the Department of Planetary Sciences in 1994. Drake was also the principal investigator for the OSIRIS-REx mission, which is set to launch in 2016 and return with asteroid samples in 2023. The money secured for the UA’s role in the project is the largest grant the Michael Drake Director of the UA university has ever received. As head of the Lunar and Lunar and PlanPlanetary Laboratory, Drake etary Laboratory oversaw a series of high-profile projects at the laboratory, including the HiRISE camera on the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Cassini image mission in orbit around Saturn and the Phoenix Mars Lander project.
College of Medicine gets $2.2M to promote diversity By Alexandra Bortnik Daily Wildcat
The UA College of Medicine Office of Outreach and Multicultural Affairs has been awarded a $2.2 million grant to increase opportunities for educationally and economically disadvantaged individuals who are interested in a variety of health related professions. The Health Careers Opportunity Program grant was awarded to the office by the Health Resources and Services Administration. The UA was selected based on its review committee score and its qualification for a funding preference for proposing a “comprehensive approach,” said Elizabeth Senerchia, public affairs specialist at the Department of Health
“If we look at the data there are so many benefits to having a diverse workforce in order to best meet the increasing diverse population in our country.” — Dr. Ana Maria Lopez, professor of medicine and pathology
and Human Services. Dr. Ana Maria Lopez, a professor of medicine and pathology and the principal investigator for the grant, said that diversity, in terms of the grant, is a broad term encapsulating not just people from racial or ethnic
minority backgrounds, but first-generation students and geographically diverse students. “If we look at the data there are so many benefits to having a diverse workforce in order to best meet the increasing diverse population in our country,” she said. Lopez also said she particularly likes the name of the grant because it represents the program’s main goal for students. The grant will provide students and parents with financial planning resources and information about health care careers and training. The program will also give students the opportunity to receive mentoring services and expose them to communitybased primary health care experiences
with public and private non-profit providers, according to Senerchia. “I think often times when people go to talk to a health adviser, people walk away and feel limitations,” Lopez said. “And we’d like for to the students to walk away feeling that there are opportunities and to be able to reach the students early enough where they can really mastermind those opportunities and maximize their chances on really realizing their hopes and dreams.” The Health Careers Opportunity Program has programs that target middle school, high school and college-level students with the goal that eventually higher-level students will be able to serve as mentors to younger students. Students are also
becoming increasingly more tech savvy, said Lopez, so it’s helpful for the program to maximize its online resources and be accessible to students wherever they are. The program can make health care more accessible to those populations and reduce health disparities by encouraging students from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter various health professions training programs, according to Senerchia. “Our state and country is in the midst of tremendous health care shortages and to become a health professional takes a long time … shortages are so acute and in some parts of our state people are very underserved,” Lopez said.

Number of uninsured young Americans falls MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON — As many as a million young adults have signed up for health insurance in the last year, new data indicate, suggesting the success of an early benefit of the health care law President Barack Obama signed last year. A survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the number of Americans aged 19 to 25 without insurance fell from 10 million in 2010 to 9.1 million in the first three months of 2011. And a Gallup-Healthways poll showed that the rate of uninsured adults aged 18 to 25 fell from 28 percent last fall to 24.2 percent in the second quarter of this year. Starting last September, the new health law began allowing adult children up to age 26 to remain on their parents’ health plans. “The provision … appears to be having an immediate effect on the number of Americans who report they have health insurance,” Gallup concluded in a note accompanying its survey. Americans in their late teens and early 20s remain the most likely to go without insurance. By comparison, fewer than 7 percent of children under 18 lacked health insurance,
according to CDC survey, reflecting the wide availability of government health programs children from low- and middle-income children, including Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP. The new insurance numbers were quickly hailed by the Obama administration and its allies, who have been looking for evidence that the new law is having a positive impact, especially because many of its benefits are still years away. “This news today demonstrates a great victory for young Americans, and is evidence that the new health care law is working for our generation,” said Jen Mishory, deputy director of Young Invincibles, a supporter of the law. “In this tough economy, it’s even more important that young adults have access to decent, affordable coverage. Because of dependent coverage, 1 million more of us have that access,” she said. The uptick in health coverage among young adults was also picked up in recent census data and reinforced by reports from insurers that many Americans were taking advantage of the new health care law’s benefit.

Freyermuth said she would not use the service and prefers to visit professors in their office hours. WriteCheck could help students who accidentally quote sources a little too closely, said Alethea Bare, a visual communication junior. She said the service could be helpful for many students. “But I don’t know about paying $7 for it,” she said. The service could enable cheating but the $7 fee acts as a financial penalty, Fleming said. “Now they’re paying,” he said. “Why not just sit down and write the paper yourself?”

and television studies, said she thinks most students know if they are plagiarizing. “It’s something I’ve worried about because some teachers are more lenient with paraphrasing than others,” Freyermuth said. “But I really feel that oftentimes, you know (if you’ve plagiarized).” Freyermuth said WriteCheck could be used to perpetuate cheating but does show awareness. “At least they’re making a bare, minimum effort not to plagiarize,” Freyermuth said.

Name, GPA and sexual preference Caroline Nachazel Daily Wildcat

o you consider yourself to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender? This question is appropriate not only for Match.com but also for college applications. Elmhurst College in Chicago just released their 2012-2013 student application, and in addition to answering questions about extracurricular activities and ethnic backgrounds, students can now answer a question about sexual orientation. For past applicants, seeing this question on a college application could have caused a major ink splatter, jaw drop or maybe even an outbreak of nervous perspiration. Despite the fact that it has never been seen on any past college applications, it is a major leap for the future of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and diversity in general. What exactly does this question have to do with being accepted to college? Everything. By allowing students to identify themselves with the LGBT community before being accepted to college, doors of opportunity are automatically opened. Students could be referred to LGBT clubs on campus and feel instantly more comfortable in their own skin before attending orientation. Students already identify with their racial, religious, and socio-economic groups on applications and the question of sexual orientation should not be thought of any differently. This designation will also expand the number of people who qualify for diversity related funds. Scholarships and financial aid are always awarded to underrepresented groups at any college or university. With the addition of this question, LGBT students are included as minority groups, thus making them eligible to receive diversity scholarships. Hopefully, Elmhurst will be the first of many colleges and universities to include the sexual orientation question on their applications. Students who choose to answer the question (the Elmhurst application does include a “prefer not to answer” choice) will automatically be exposed to the presence of a community they may have been embarrassed or apprehensive to look in to. This could ultimately influence their decision to accept or decline admission to the school. Knowing how many incoming students identify with the LGBT community gives the school a chance to play up the presence of the group on campus and make it a more attractive recruiting point. Think of it like your major. You would never choose a school that did not provide the major you want to study, so why would you choose one where perhaps not all of your lifestyle is embraced? Although the LGBT community is much more of a personal concern than a field of study, you can see the comfort it creates knowing that such an important aspect of your life is openly represented on a campus. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way about the installment of a sexual orientation question. Some may feel that sexual orientation should never cross paths with academics and are offended by the question. It could also be confusing for students who are uncertain of their sexual preference and this could cause even more anxiety than is already associated with the application process. College is said to be a time to “find yourself” and allowing students to identify with the LGBT community on a college application encourages this in every way. — Caroline Nachazel is a junior studying journalism and communications.

THIS OR THAT:
Mini-dorms — intrusive or ingenious? This or That is a weekly feature in which members of the Perspectives staff weigh in on a campus-related topic and issue their final verdict from two options. This week’s question is “Mini-dorms — intrusive of ingenious?” The term “mini-dorm” applies to housing that is either built or renovated to accommodate several students. Residents of the surrounding UA community have lobbied against mini-dorms, while developers and landlords defend their housing structures by stating that they adhere to building code and therefore have just as much right to be there. There is no denying the profit to be made from the increased occupancy in homes but many longtime residents are uncomfortable in their own neighborhoods.
Kristina Bui Daily Wildcat
Verdict: Intrusive
Tucson neighborhoods, such as Jefferson Park, Feldman, El Rio and Palo Verde. This form of off-campus housing has reasonably disturbed many Tucsonans. Developers are tearing down historical elements of Tucson in order to accommodate college students looking for a nearby place to live. With UA students invading local Tucson neighborhoods, they have become intrusive to the community. Small homes made for five people have been packed with ten and seem out of place in a residential neighborhood designed for small families. Students can get pretty noisy, and it’s understandable if nearby residents are getting fed up with the college lifestyle of partying and drinking. Mini-dorms devalue the sense of community for those who actually live in the neighborhood year-round. No sane individual is going to want to reside next to a mini-dorm, where the inhabitants are throwing loud parties every Friday and Saturday night. UA students should stay out of neighborhoods with families and relocate to on-campus or apartment housing.
The “mini-dorm” controversy continues as university area neighborhoods battle it out with developers to avoid being saddled with invasive college kid neighbors. But in the end, everything boils down to money anyway. An analysis by 24/7 Wall St. awarded Tucson the title of “America’s sickest housing market.” The analysis, performed in August, examined 75 U.S. metropolitan areas and ranked the cities with the highest vacancy rates. The rankings were determined by U.S. Census Bureau data, unemployment rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and historical median home prices provided by the National Association of Realtors. Tucson has a 15.9 percent rental vacancy rate. Mini-dorms are an irritating intrusion, but not because of their tenants. The idea that students are noisy, messy neighbors is beside the Michelle A. Monroe point. That’s the price you pay when you live near a college campus and students are capaDaily Wildcat ble of making noise and messes in any kind of house, small or large. But given the incredibly high rental vacancy rate and the annual rise Verdict: Intrusive of tuition and fees, it’s worth questioning how Real estate companies who build these minihigh the demand for mini-dorms is anymore. If dorms are evil geniuses. They’re genius in the new mini-dorms don’t fill up, most neighborhoods will be left with empty, oversized houses sense that they’re playing off a housing market that will always be there. They’re evil in the that don’t suit their surroundings. fact that they are dropping the value of the surrounding homes by doing so. Most of the homes in the surrounding university area communities are single story and hold single families. Mini-dorms tend to be two stories and cram anywhere between five and 10 students into a house. These houses Jacquelyn Abad can also have balconies that overlook neighboring backyards. No one wants to have 10 Daily Wildcat students looking into their backyard seven days a week. And no one wants to look up at a dirty couch and beer cans while lying out in their Verdict: Intrusive backyard. The destruction of old Tucson homes Many people confuse hating mini-dorms makes way for new “mini-dorms” in several
with hating living next to students. Well, you can complain about students all you want, but you live next to a university. Mini-dorms are large, brightly colored, houses that stick out like a sore thumb. Homeowners have a right to like their view and the feel of the neighborhood. Mini-dorm companies are screwing that up for the university communities.
Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
Verdict: Ingenious
Mini-dorms are ingenious, because they’re profitable for lessors and cheap for college students. Opposition to mini-dorms sprouted last year in the Jefferson Park, and now the Sam Hughes neighborhood is on the horizon. When looking at Sam Hughes and its proximity to campus, it’s brilliant for neighborhood residents to offer their relatively small two-bedroom houses to four or five college students. It makes even more sense to build large occupancy homes. The lessors can increase the monthly rent because of their location and because it’s a “house,” not an “apartment.” That “house” classification will come with a higher price, even though the actual personal living space might be the size of an apartment. For example, there is currently a twobedroom house for rent on Craigslist in Sam Hughes for $1,200 per month. Comparatively, Cottonwood Creek apartments located on the eastern outskirts of Sam Hughes, offers a two bed, two-bathroom apartment starting at $869 per month. From a student’s perspective, more roommates means the less rent per person. And the convenience of being walking-distance from campus also saves money on transportation. If apartment complexes put limits on the number of people students can cram into the two-bedroom apartment, then it’s a more economical to grab some friends, go the mini-dorm route and get the house.

Police Beat By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat
Sleepwalker saunters into strange situation A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Maricopa Residence Hall, an all-female dorm, at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday in reference to a suspicious man in the common sleeping area. A resident told the officer she had woke up that morning and found a man sleeping next to her in her bed, with his head at her feet. The woman said she had no idea who the man was or how he ended up in her bed. She said he did not touch her during the night and she was not worried. The man had also peed in the corner of the room. The officer woke up the man, who said his ex-girlfriend had let him into the building the night before. He was very confused about what happened and didn’t realize he had slept in the wrong bed until the officer told him. The man said he drank an unknown amount of beer before and after he went to work the day before. The man’s ex-girlfriend, a resident of Maricopa, said he had fallen asleep with her in her bed initially. She said he must have gotten up in the middle of the night and moved to another bed. The man was cited on charges of minor in possession of alcohol and released to his parents, who took him home from the dorm. The resident who found the man in her bed assured the officer she hadn’t been affected by the situation, she only thought it was very strange.
Not a Keystone guy A UAPD officer was on patrol near Cherry Avenue and Speedway Boulevard around 7 a.m. on Sunday when he observed a white Chevy pickup truck fail to yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk. The officer made a traffic stop and spoke to the driver, who said he had left his driver’s license in his dorm room when a friend asked him to drive him home. He also did not have a current insurance card. When the driver got out of the car, the officer noticed a Mason jar in the storage compartment of the driver’s side door. He asked the man if there were any other violations he should be aware of and the driver told him he didn’t have mud flaps. The officer asked the man about the jar and the man said it was for marijuana and gave it to the officer. He said he had last smoked a few days ago. Upon searching the truck, the officer found two unopened 12-ounce cans of Keystone Light beer on the passenger’s side. The man said they were not his because he drinks Coors and they probably belonged to the friend he had driven home earlier. The man was arrested on charges of minor in possession of alcohol, possession of drug paraphernalia, no proof of insurance and failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Chloe Mathis, the setter for the Arizona Wildcats, gets help from associate head coach Steve Walker during practices on Tuesday in McKale Center. Mathis earned the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week award this week.
Freshman Chloe Mathis rapidly improving By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
Prior to last weekend, Arizona volleyball’s selfless setter Chloe Mathis had been struggling with the transition from a club all-star to a collegiate-level freshman. “Without question, the hardest transition hasn’t been from high school to club, but from club to college,” said associate head coach and setting coach Steve Walker. “The most difficult position has always been, and always will be, setting. “It’s a lot to take in. We like to say, ‘It’s like drinking water through a fire hose.’” Although she’s progressing, head coach Dave Rubio said Mathis hadn’t been playing to her full potential. “She’s got it in her,” Rubio said. “I told her, ‘Chloe, I’ve seen you play at a really high level for two years now, and I haven’t seen the player I recruited yet. “She played her best match on Saturday,” he added. “It was the kid I saw in the past.” Mathis was named Pac-12 Conference Freshman of the Week on Monday, just two days after the freshman setter led the Wildcats to their first conference win against Oregon State. It was her first time setting a 5-1 offense for an entire match. Mathis contributed 57 assists against Oregon State, the most in a four-set match for any Pac-12 player this season. But despite Mathis’ award, her personal focus
is to make her teammates shine, not herself. “I think the best thing about (setting) is getting to make my hitters look good,” Mathis said. “Knowing that I can stand in the background and let them get all the glory, is totally fine with me, because they work just as hard. That feeling you get after — it’s the best and probably what I love the most.”
guy that once he says something, he really stands behind it.”
A homebody, jokester
Mathis started her volleyball career in the sixth grade, but with a coach that didn’t originally see her as a setter. “My coach wanted to make me an outside hitter, but I asked him what position stays on the court at all and never comes off,” Mathis Rubio’s voodoo magic times said. “He said a setter does, and I Before her best performance as a said ‘That’s what I want to be.’” The La Jolla, Calif., native enjoys Wildcat, Rubio sat down with Mathis her new life as a student-athlete, but to get her mentally prepared. misses one of her favorite pastimes. “It’s so much more of a psy“It’s a huge blessing to be a chological process than it is a physical and a technical process,” student athlete,” Mathis said. “I’m definitely a homebody, and I think Rubio said about setting. “Before the match, I sat down with Chloe being a student athlete makes me for about an hour and we just had want to sleep more; that’s horrible, but I miss sleeping so much.” a little voodoo session with her. In addition to volleyball and Whether or not you would attribute that to her playing better on sleeping, her other favorite pastimes include watching TV and Saturday, I don’t know.” eating, she said. Mathis wasn’t expecting to be “I love ‘Glee’ and ‘Gossip Girl’ the setter in the 5-1 on Saturday, or even start this early in the sea- and ‘Bones’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’” Mathis said. son, she said. And often the comedian, Mathis “(The meeting) is probably avoids the truth behind why she something that helped me the wears a white kneepad on one knee most,” Mathis said. “(Rubio) and a black on the other.

Tutogi willing to play any role if wins follow By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat
Arizona H-back Taimi Tutogi, like any Division I college football player, would like to have the ball in his hands more often. But for the time being, the junior from Chula Vista, Calif., is just fine with how things are shaking out. “I’d like to see myself get the ball more,” Tutogi said. “I think I can do a lot of good things. But I understand where we’re at … so whatever my job is, that’s what I’m gonna do.” Tutogi has just two carries this season — he scored a touchdown against NAU — and nabbed one catch for 11 yards. But the 6-foot-1, 250-pound hybrid running back is fine with doing whatever it takes for Arizona to improve upon its 116th ranking in total rushing offense. “I see that we’ve got to establish the run game,” Tutogi said. “If that means I’ve got to block, that means I’m going to have to get down and get dirty.” Running effectively is something that Arizona’s going to have to do if it wants to upset No. 10 Oregon. But Tutogi said that the Wildcats aren’t concerned about who their opponent is, instead focusing on what they can control. “The way I see it, we’re not playing Oregon; Oregon’s playing us,” Tutogi said. “We’ve lost to Oklahoma State and Stanford, but that’s all the more reason for us to come out and play with our
ne game doesn’t define a season, let alone the future state of a program. But Arizona football’s 44-41 double-overtime loss to Oregon on Nov. 21, 2009, at Arizona Stadium may be an exception. Fresh off of their first bowl game since 1998, the Wildcats came into the matchup as a program on the rise, and despite a ho-hum 6-3 record so far that season, a victory over the No. 11 Ducks would have set the Wildcats up for their first Rose Bowl run. If they could defeat Oregon and follow that with wins over thenstruggling ASU and No. 18 USC, Arizona would no longer be the only team in its conference not to smell the roses. With ESPN GameDay in town and a 31-24 lead late in the fourth quarter, Arizona’s chances looked promising. With Arizona still leading by seven, students from the ZonaZoo spilled onto the field with less than a minute to play. “Students are thinking this hay’s in the barn, this is over,” said ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit during the live telecast. It would turn out to be a jump of the gun, representative of how Arizona’s rise to elite status was premature as well. Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli picked up a crucial 4th-and-5 and eventually capped off an 80-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown pass to tight end Ed Dickson that took the game into overtime. Behind Masoli’s arm and legs, Oregon outscored Arizona 13-10 in the two overtimes to shock the Wildcats, knocking them from Rose Bowl contention in a game head coach Mike Stoops calls “one of the great games in college football that year.” “I just remember Jeremiah Masoli running around making plays,” Stoops said. “He just made some incredible plays down the stretch, and we just couldn’t come up with that last play to win the game in the fourth quarter. “We were one play away and just couldn’t make it.” While the victory sent the Ducks to the Rose Bowl and kick-started what is now one of the nation’s elite programs, it left the Wildcats searching for a spot on college football’s food chain. They let their Rose Bowl

heads on fire and get the job done.” And even though Oregon ranks fifth in the country in scoring at 50.7 points per game, Tutogi said that the Arizona offense can’t worry about how many points the Ducks are going to score. Instead, the offense needs to do what it can and hope the defense
can step up and slow down Oregon’s potent offense. “We don’t look at (Oregon) and go off of them,” Tutogi said. “We do our job and we do what we’ve got to do. They’ve got a good defense and a good offense, but at the same time, we have a good defense and a good offense. We’ve all just got to get in tune.”

Pac-12
REACT: College paper sports editors on denial of league expansion “I have to say, I think it’s good. I think 16 teams would be too much right now. I think that people (at UCLA) were more excited about Colorado and Utah than Texas and Oklahoma, because it seems like we have a better chance to compete with those schools.”

chances slip away and are 10-9 with two embarrassing bowl losses since the nightmare of a meltdown. The Wildcats are certainly progressing as a program in terms of national notoriety and facilities, but they’re nowhere near as close to their Rose Bowl goals as they were that rainy Saturday night. Oregon, on the other hand, has turned itself into an annual national contender since its win. Sure, before that game, Oregon was a notoriously competitive football team. It made four consecutive bowl games from 2005-08 and produced NFL talent on a yearly basis. But the Ducks certainly weren’t one of college football’s top programs before leaving Arizona Stadium in 2009. Since that comeback win, the Ducks are 15-3 with two bowl appearances — the Rose Bowl and the BCS National Championship. The majority of that success stems from Phil Knight’s wallet and Chip Kelly’s coaching prowess, but just think “what if?” What if Arizona held on and ultimately advanced to the Rose Bowl? What if Masoli didn’t put the team on his back, and the Ducks, not the Wildcats, played in the Holiday Bowl against Nebraska? Arizona wouldn’t have left Qualcomm Stadium embarrassed and the program would be in a much different place than it is now. The Rose Bowl monkey would be off the Wildcats’ back and Oregon might not have been the No. 1 team in the country for the better part of 2010. Saturday’s matchup at Arizona Stadium would hold far different implications. The Ducks would be seeking revenge while Arizona would be reminiscing about the game where the program turned the corner. But Saturday, it’ll be Arizona looking for revenge. “I feel like this is a good opportunity for us to redeem that one,” said coordinator of football operations Cam Newton, who was starting safety for UA in 2009. If the Wildcats had made a couple more plays that Saturday night, the football scene in Tucson might be much, much different.

OVERHEARD ON CAMPUS
Nest efforts produce a baby bonanza at the San Diego Zoo LOS ANGELES TIMES
SAN DIEGO — A baby boom is under way at the San Diego Zoo among the Grand Cayman blue iguanas, one of the world’s most endangered lizards. Since 2007, the zoo has been part of an international effort to save the blue iguana. Despite elaborate efforts at providing the right environment, results have been modest: three or four hatchlings a year. But in the past week, nine blue iguana hatchlings were reported at the zoo’s Anne and Kenneth Griffin Reptile Conservation Center. Jeff Lemm, the zoo’s research coordinator for lizards, credits the changes that he made for the younger of the center’s two breeding females. She had never had a live hatchling. “I tweaked the nest situation,” Lemm said. “She fell for it.”
As this spring’s breeding season had approached, Lemm was not worried about the male stud-lizards, Big Daddy and Bluey. But Lemm was unsure about a young, unnamed female selected as Bluey’s mate. To provide her with motivation to lay eggs after she and Bluey got together, Lemm found a hollowed-out tree stump, filled it with soft, warm dirt and bathed it in warm light. The female burrowed in and laid a clutch of eggs. Tension mounted as Lemm and others waited weeks for the results. “I saw the eggs and said, ‘Please be fertile,’ “ Lemm said. “And when we got the hatchlings, it was beautiful. We were all very excited.” Two of the eggs were fertile, and in the past week, out came two hatchlings. Added to the seven from an older, more

reliable female — Big Daddy’s mate — it gave the zoo more hatchlings than in any previous year. Many of the Caribbean’s lizard species are endangered but none so much as the blue iguana on Grand Cayman, a British territory south of Cuba. Reptile specialists at one point named it the world’s most endangered iguana. In the wild, blue iguanas can take on a dragonlike mien at 5 feet long and up to 30 pounds. But they are vulnerable to cars, snakes and other predators, livestock and an occasional hurricane. “The blue iguana was taking a beating in the wild,” Lemm said. By 2002, the population had dwindled to a few dozen. So the Blue Iguana Recovery Program on the island teamed up with American zoos in a rescue effort.
ON THE SPOT
Patriotism on the edge If I say, “The Edge,” what does that mean to you? The Edge in what terms? The generic edge? The first thing that comes to your mind. I’d probably say living on the edge. If you live on the edge, how do you do so? I would say walk a close line between fun and work.
OFFBEAT
THERE GOES THE SUN

When you live on the edge, do you typically drink on the edge? Definitely. Would you ever speed on a motorcycle on the edge? Probably not. I’m not a big motorcycle person.
What kind of vehicle do you ride? A Jeep Patriot. Is that a good car? Hell yeah, it’s American. America! Alright. Would you consider yourself patriotic? I would say patriotic, yes, but nationalistic, no. So, you’re a patriotic, non-nationalistic, edgy guy? That about sums it up.

It is a film about those families who have crossed the border to the United States in search of better opportunities.

A film about absence, about the families whose lives are defined by the voids emigrations had created. The simple things... the stories of those who remain.
