BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBERS

Enrollment of 40,223 an all-time high BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Enrollment at the UA has grown to a historical high of more than 40,000 students, a reflection of the growth in the school’s acceptance rate. Retention rates among ethnic minorities and the overall graduation rate also saw an increase from 2011.

A variety of factors led to the increase from 39,236 in 2011, including an increase in freshmen and transfer students admitted, as well as higher retention rates, Student Affairs Vice President Melissa Vito said in an email.

This year, the UA admitted 77 percent of applicants, an increase of two percentage points from both the 2010 and 2011 school years.

Of last year’s freshmen, 80.2 percent returned for their sophomore year, said Jeff Orgera, assistant vice

president of Student Affairs. This is an increase of 3 percentage points compared to last year’s rate of 77.2 percent.

Among minority groups, retention rates increased across the board. Black students saw the highest increase in retention, with a difference of 9.7 percentage points.

In order to boost retention, recruiters look for students who have enthusiasm for the university and truly want to attend, according to Kasey Urquidez, associate vice president of Student Affairs and dean of undergraduate admissions.

“We don’t want to recruit a student just to get them to be in that freshman class,” Urquidez said.

“We want to recruit a student who will really be with us until they graduate and become that alum of the

Rage was in the air.

On television screens in coffee shops and households across Egypt, a video played that mocked the most revered man in Islamic culture, the Prophet Muhammad. Al-Nas, a TV station based in Cairo, broadcast the clip to castigate the film’s producers. It didn’t take long to see a reaction.

Quickly, the scene shifted from a nation overcome by anger to protestors discharging anti-U.S. chants against a backdrop of torched American flags. From Morocco to Libya, all the way down to Indonesia, the Muslim world was set ablaze.

Islam prohibits depictions of the Prophet Muhammad as a preemptive measure against idolatry. “Innocence of Muslims,” the video mired in global controversy, is thought to be the work of an Egyptian-born man living in the U.S. The film was produced last year but only started making headlines after it surfaced on the Egyptian airwaves earlier this month.

“It’s been completely blown out of proportion,” said Leila Hudson, a UA associate professor of Middle East history and anthropology. “Those trying to provoke a Muslim response or the Islamic extremists who inflame the excitable segments of their parties are interested in the same thing: challenging the relationship between the United States and the new Arab governments.”

Romney directors talk social media with class BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Students connected with presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s communications director and digital director via Google Hangout on Monday, to discuss the role that social networking and media play in political campaigns.

In order to give students realworld examples of the power of social networking, Ricardo Valerdi, an associate professor of systems and industrial engineering, contacted Romney’s communications director, Gail Gitcho. Both she and Zac Moffatt, Romney’s digital director, agreed to

speak with students and answer questions regarding the use of social media in Romney’s campaign.

Gitcho leads communications for the campaign and deals with an audience of about 500 people, including reporters, producers and other media members. Moffatt’s team focuses on voters that the communications team is not able to reach.

Moffatt oversees the website, social media, online advertising and email marketing for the campaign.

This campaign cycle, there are about 125 workers in the digital department, which shows how big it has become

within the campaign, Moffatt said. “[Moffatt] really is a pioneer in this field,” Gitcho said. “I think, more than any other time in the history of political campaigns, the digital front has made more of an effort in not only persuading voters to take a look at our candidates but also on the paid media front in raising money and making sure our message is getting out there.”

Both Moffatt and Gitcho answered a variety of questions from students, ranging from which social media network best serves

Christopher Stevens, the former U.S. Ambassador to Libya who was murdered at the consulate in Benghazi. In a statement, Libyan ambassador to the U.S. Ali Aujali condemned the violence and wrote that Stevens served “with great distinction and all Libyans owe him a debt of gratitude for his years of service in support of Libya.”

News outlets have reported that al-Qaida may have orchestrated the attacks, though a conclusive answer has yet to surface.

David Shellouff, a Muslim UA graduate student studying education whose family is from Benghazi, recalled his response to the news of Stevens’ death: “As an American I was upset, and as a Libyan I thought, ‘What a disgrace to our name,’” he said. “His death bothers me the most, second to that is Libya’s reputation being soiled. Before, people would tell me things like ‘Libyans are awesome! We hope you get freedom.’

Now, we’re just the country that killed the ambassador.”

In response to the murder, proAmerican protests sprouted up across the country, as did Facebook pages like, “I am Libyan and I reject the killing of U.S Ambassador Chris Stevens.” One user wrote, “I apologize on behalf of my family, my friends for this shameful, unpardonable, and deeply insensitive event of a small group of criminals.”

Hudson, who also directs the Southwest Initiative for the Study of Middle East Conflicts, emphasized that the violent reactions were emanating from the fringes — not the majority — of Middle Eastern society.

“These things are amplified and simplified by visual media and so they look much more pervasive than they actually are,” she said. “A viewer doesn’t see the underlying complexity of a huge political system with millions of participants and a multiplicity of different positions.”

Many students who consider themselves to be well-informed on the Islamic community, both in Tucson and abroad, were not surprised the film incited such a powerful response, but agreed the extent of the reaction was unnecessary.

“It’s extremely insulting and provocative,” said Samy Ayoub, a Muslim UA graduate student studying Islamic Law, in response to the video. “But I think the best option is to ignore it and move on.”

Ayoub, who was born in Egypt, added that the channel that circulated the video did so for political reasons, as evidenced by the channel’s decision to broadcast

The channel intentionally provoked a hostile reaction and should be held accountable, he said.

One of the most troublesome aspects of the film’s fallout is the level of hate the protestors are directing at Western symbols, as well as their inability to distinguish between the American people and the actions of a filmmaker, said Charles Mink, a graduate student in the UA School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies. Both may be evidence that the protests aren’t really about a movie.

“It’s an excuse for some individuals to do what they want to do anyway, which is to protest U.S. foreign policy,” he said. “The disproportionate reaction we see occurring in the Middle East is clear evidence to me that what’s going on is really not about a video.”

Mink, a former interrogator in Iraq, said President Obama made the correct decision by sending a team of Marines to protect the embassy in Libya, but at this point, that should be the extent of US military action.

“As long as we have good faith assurances from the Libyan government that they’ll handle the issue, I think the U.S. has done enough,” he said. “If it becomes clear that the Libyan government is not doing what it promised, then we discuss other options.”

Ammar Gwesha, a former UA student currently working at the University of Tripoli in Libya, wrote that he was disturbed by the violent responses to the video, in particular the death of Stevens.

It was a promising sign to see thousands of Libyans counter-protesting the violent demonstrations, Gwesha said. He added that he was shocked by some of the online comments he’s seen about Libyans since the protests began.

He cited one that said: “The international community should not have interfered when Gaddafi was attacking civilians. Gaddafi should have been allowed to wipe them out. Those people do not deserve freedom.”

His response to such hostile statements is “one picture,” he wrote, attaching an image of Libyan protestors with a sign reading, “Sorry people of America this not the pehavior of our ISLAM and profit (sic).”

Shellouff echoed the sentiment.

“As a Muslim, you’re raised with a million stories of how tolerant and patient the Prophet Muhammad was to people who mistreated him,” Shellouff said.

“If you really want to honor the Prophet, act like him.”

them realize that what they’re reading comes from real people.”

Some students were excited at the chance to hear from professionals who use social media in different fields.

“Despite what our political views are, it’s an exciting opportunity to hear how social media is playing a role directly with the campaign,” said John Danovich, a public health freshman. “We actually get the opportunity to see how these two people are using Facebook and Twitter specifically to target people to basically vote for their candidate.”

Following the video call, students discussed the impact of social networking and how some people are not aware of the role it plays in everyday life.

“This seminar is really interesting because it really goes into social networking,” said Felipe Moreno, a freshman studying philosophy, politics, economics and law. “We use it, but what we don’t think of enough is how much it really affects us and how much it’s making an impact on everything in the world.”

political campaigns, to how the Romney campaign differs from Obama’s.

Students cited the benefits of discussing election details with official campaign workers.

“This was a nice, light, brief introduction into how much work goes into a campaign because you’re trying to appeal to a lot of people,” said Hojin Seo, a biochemistry freshman. “It was nice to see the diversity in campaign strategies.”

Valerdi’s freshman honors seminar course, A Human Rights View of Social Networks and Social Networking, explores the formation of social networks and analyzes its role in a variety of fields.

“We’ve been talking about the role of social media, but we’ve just been talking about it within this circle of people,” Valerdi said. “I think talking to professionals is pretty important and seeing a contemporary topic like the election just bring[s] this to life and makes

Health Notes Could broccoli treat breast cancer?

The University of Arizona Cancer Center is currently seeking women who are at risk of developing breast cancer, or those who have previously been treated for early-stage breast cancer, to participate in a study designed to determine if the drug Tamoxifen can enhance their treatment.

Tamoxifen is a hormonal treatment for breast cancer that targets estrogen in the body in order to increase the metabolic life of the hormone. The study will also determine whether a compound found in cruciferous vegetables, diindolylmethane, can improve Tamoxifen in the body. These compounds can be found in cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and broccoli. The compound will be administered via a capsule that patients will take once a day for three months prior to the trial. Once the trial begins, patients will take a placebo twice a day for 18 months.

The center currently has 50 patients enrolled in the study, and aims to recruit 170 patients by December 2013. The study is funded until 2015 through a $3-million grant from the National Cancer Institute.

Students plan ahead

Unlike in previous years, Campus Health Service has not seen an increase in requests for the morning-after pill, an emergency contraceptive pill. Although there are two different ways to take the pill, Campus Health recommends the tablet meant to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, rather than the two-step dose. According to Eileen Devlin, supervisor of the Women’s Health Clinic, there is also a drug that has some efficacy for up to five days, but it requires a prescription. Campus Health dispenses instructions and clarification about birth control as well as educating students about the risks of contracting sexually transmitted diseases through unprotected sex.

Iran president: Israel will eventually be eliminated MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

UNITED NATIONS — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that Israel is only a short-lived presence among the ancient civilizations of the Middle East and eventually will be “eliminated.”

Speaking to a group of journalists in New York ahead of this week’s United Nations General Assembly session, Ahmadinejad said Israel has existed “during a historical phase” to create “minimal disturbances that come into the picture and then are eliminated.”

Israel has been in the Middle East for only 60 to 70 years “with the support and force of the

sign that we’re going to be able to have some success in attaining that goal,” Orgera said.

The four-year and six-year graduation rates also saw increases from 2010 to 2011. The four-year rate rose from 36.3 percent to 39.3 percent, while the six-year rate rose from 59.8 percent to 61.4 percent.

“I am thrilled at this growth and especially the increase in retention and graduation,” Vito said in an email. “Among our most critical measures of success is the ability of our students to be retained and graduate — this data tells us we are moving in the right direction and that we must continue and strengthen our efforts.”

university.”

Some members of the administration attribute the overall increases to a campus-wide effort to help students navigate the system and stay at the university.

“It really is a very large team effort with people from across Student Affairs and Academic Affairs,” Orgera said. “We’re just really focused on creating a real great experience for our undergraduates.”

University officials say the UA is on track to reach an 86-percent freshman retention rate by 2020, a goal set by the Arizona Board of See our columnist’s take on Regents.

“The fact that we’re moving in UA’s enrollment numbers: the right direction is a really good

Westerners,” and Iran has existed for 10,000 years, he said.

He also dismissed Israel’s warnings that it was close to unleashing an air attack on Iran to destroy the nuclear complex that Israel and many other countries believe is seeking to develop nuclear bomb-making capability.

“Fundamentally, we do not take seriously the threats of the Israelis,” Ahmadinejad said, according to the Reuters news agency. “We have at our disposal all the means to defend ourselves.”

Ahmadinejad’s angry charges have become a routine part of the U.N.’s General Assembly meeting week. They are delivered each year in multiple media appearances and in his remarks from the

assembly podium, which will come Wednesday.

Israeli leaders have argued that they would be entirely justified in attacking Iran because of the repeated comments of Iranian leaders such as Ahmadinejad. The Iranian president in 2005 called Israel a “tumor” that would one day be wiped out.

Despite his complaints about the United States, Ahmadinejad said Iran wants to continue negotiations over its nuclear program.

“We are not expecting a 33-yearold problem between the United States and Iran to be resolved in a speedy fashion. But there is no other way besides dialogue,” Ahmadinejad said.

‘Zombie bees’ found in Washington MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

KENT, Wash. — Mark Hohn didn’t pay much attention to the dead bees scattered outside his shop when he got home from vacation a few weeks ago. He just pulled out a leaf blower and blasted away the mess.

It took him a few days to realize he had an invasion of the living dead on his hands.

“I joke with my kids that the zombie apocalypse is starting at my house,” said the novice beekeeper. The dead and dying honeybees from Hohn’s 1.25-acre spread in Kent are the first in Washington confirmed to be infected by a parasitic fly that causes the bees to lurch around erratically before dropping dead.

The discovery expands the range of the so-called “zombie bees” first discovered in California in 2008

by San Francisco State University biologist John Hafernik. Through his website www.ZombeeWatch. org, Hafernik is recruiting a network of citizen scientists, like Hohn, to

help determine how widespread the parasite is and whether it is contributing to the demise of bee colonies across the country.

“We really would like to get more samples from Washington and from all over,” Hafernik said.

Unlike healthy bees, which spend the night tucked up in their hive, infected bees fly after dark and tend to congregate at lights. Hohn noticed bees buzzing around the light in his shop, flying in jerky patterns and finally flopping on the floor.

He remembered hearing about the zombie bees, so he collected several of the corpses and popped them into a Ziploc bag. “Curiosity got the better of me,” he said.

It’s hard to know what effect the parasite is having on his hives, Hohn said. “I don’t really have a way to quantify how bad it is, which is the scary part.”

Hohn and his army of observers have found infected bees throughout western California and Oregon — and now in at least one spot in Western Washington. Nearly 80 percent of

hives in the San Francisco Bay Area are infected. There’s also one report from South Dakota.

Bee populations have plummeted in recent years, threatening crops that rely on the insects for pollination.

Scientists attribute the decline to a mysterious ailment called Colony Collapse Disorder. No one knows the exact cause, but researchers have found a variety of mites and viruses that afflict colonies.

Pesticides probably play a role, too, said Steve Sheppard, chairman of the entomology department at Washington State University.

His research has shown how the chemicals accumulate in developing bee larvae, shortening the insects’ lives.

Sheppard has some of Hohn’s zombie bees in his lab for further study.

Through ZombieWatch, Hohn hopes more people will alert him of more zombie bee sightings.

“I’m pretty confident I’m not the only one in Washington state who has them,” he said.

Obama criticizes Libyan attack, but avoids calling it ‘terrorism’

Discover to refund $200M to cardholders MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

mcclatchy tribune

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA and first lady Michelle Obama visit the set of The View on ABC-TV on Monday in New York.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

NEW YORK — President Barack Obama said the attack on a U.S. Consulate in Libya was more than just a “mob action,” but stopped short of labeling the deadly assault in Benghazi as terrorism.

“There’s no doubt that the kind of weapons that were used, the ongoing assault, that it wasn’t just a mob action,” Obama said in an interview on ABC’s “The View.” “What’s clear is that, around the world, there are still a lot of threats out there.”

The White House was slow to put the “terrorism” label on the attack that led to the death of four

Americans, leading some to suggest the administration was downplaying the severity and importance of the incident. White House officials initially emphasized that the attack was a reaction to an anti-Islamic video posted online.

But White House spokesman Jay Carney last week called it “self-evident” that the attack was terrorism. Carney said investigators are still determining whether the attack, which took place on Sept.

11, was planned in advance.

On Monday, Obama offered no new insight on that probe.

“The overwhelming majority of Muslims, they

want the same things that families here want. They want opportunity, kids want an education, they want jobs, they want peace. But there are extremist strains that are there,” he said. “There’s never an excuse for violence.”

The president and first lady Michelle Obama sat for the interview Monday afternoon before the president was due to attend a welcome reception for world leaders attending a meeting of the United Nations. The interview is slated to be aired Tuesday.

The first lady talked about her marriage, calling her husband “very loving” and “very open.”

“He’s funny,” she said. “I’m funnier.”

SAT reading scores lowest in 40 years MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

National reading scores on the SAT college-entrance exam have sunk to their lowest point in 40 years, and the proportion of test takers deemed fully prepared for college remains steady at 43 percent, the test’s sponsors announced Monday morning.

The average score on the exam’s “critical reading” section among this year’s college-bound seniors dropped to 496 points, down one point from last year and 34 points from 1972. Each of the SAT’s three sections — critical reading, writing

and mathematics — is scored on a scale of 200 to 800 points.

Writing scores also dipped one point from last year, to 488 — the lowest since an essay-writing section was added to the test in 2006. The average writing score in that initial year was 497.

SAT math scores remained steady from last year, at an average 514 nationwide. That score, too, was down from a peak of 520, recorded in 2005.

The College Board calculated that 43 percent of SAT takers in this year’s freshman class were well-prepared for studies at four-year colleges —

the same figure as in 2011. That’s based on the percentage of students scoring a combined 1550 points — an indication they would earn a Baverage or better during their first year of college.

“When less than half of kids who want to go to college are prepared to do so, that system is failing,” said Gaston Caperton, president of the Manhattan-based College Board, which sponsors the admissions test.

The College Board itself has faced criticism since last year, when security lapses in SAT administration led to charges of cheating against more than 15 Long

Island students. The case revolved around a graduate of Great Neck North High School, Sam Eshaghoff, who was charged with accepting thousands of dollars for taking the college-admissions tests for other students, using forged student IDs. As a result of that investigation, the College Board has put new security precautions in place for the next round of SAT testing that begins Oct. 6. One new requirement that will take effect early in 2013 is that test-takers will have to upload photos of themselves for the tickets that are issued to those scheduled for testing.

WASHINGTON — Discover Bank will refund $200 million to more than 3.5 million cardholders to settle charges that its telemarketers used deceptive tactics to sell credit card “add-on” products, such as credit score tracking and identity theft protection.

Discover also agreed to pay $14 million in civil penalties as part of the settlement, announced Monday by federal regulators.

A joint investigation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau concluded that Discover had misled customers into buying four add-ons: payment protection, credit score tracking, identity theft protection and wallet protection. The company’s telemarketing scripts falsely implied that the add-ons were free “benefits,” regulators said. Fast-talking telemarketers skipped over costs and terms and failed to disclose eligibility requirements, they said. Some even charged consumers without their consent, the regulators said.

Under the settlement, Discover must stop using the sales tactics and submit to an independent audit.

Discover is the second major bank to reach such a settlement in recent months. In July, Capital One Bank agreed to refund $140 million to 2 million customers and pay an additional $25 million penalty after an investigation found that the bank’s vendors had used deceptive marketing tactics to pressure consumers into paying for add-ons.

It’s the latest sign of steppedup enforcement action from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a controversial new agency that’s considered the signature achievement of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Bureau officials said Monday that they’d pursue violations of the law when they found them but that they couldn’t discuss ongoing investigations.

Work remains despite numbers Andres Dominguez Arizona Daily Wildcat

For the first time in its 127 years, the UA has enrolled more than 40,000 students, increasing its enrollment by roughly 1,000 students from 2011.

University officials, who also cite increased retention and graduation rates, have framed this as a sign that the university is headed in the right direction.

But as promising as these figures look, the UA now has to step up to the challenge of competing with other educational institutions to keep those students, and to attract new students in coming years.

The UA ranks 58th (tied with Michigan Technological University) in U.S. News & World Report’s list of public universities, and ties with four other universities to rank 120th among all universities nationwide.

The UA’s one-year retention rate is about 77 percent, but the four- and six-year graduation rates remain low, at about 40 percent and 61 percent, respectively.

According to the UA Office of Institutional Research and Planning Support, the four-year graduation rate increased 3 percent from last year’s 36 percent, which seems to be satisfactory for university officials.

But as the national rankings forewarn, the UA will have to strive to increase its place among other universities if it wants to keep enrollment rising in the future.

Furthermore, the overall state of education in the country is not keeping pace with the rate at which the world is developing. According to a February article by American University in Washington, D.C., the U.S. is falling behind in education.

In a Brookings Institution survey, 85 percent of international students found American classes to be easier than their classes at home.

The CIA World Factbook indicates that the U.S. ranks 44th in education expenditures, behind countries such as Cuba, Botswana and Saudi Arabia.

With youth unemployment at 17.6 percent, the U.S. places 66th, with lower unemployment rates for young people found in countries like Pakistan, Niger, and Venezuela.

School life expectancy, the number of years the average student will attend school, is 16 years in the U.S., lower than in Ireland, Slovenia and New Zealand, among others.

In a recent Gallup poll, almost half of poll responders said they were neutral about or disagreed that the average college graduate is ready to enter the workforce.

Another Gallup survey showed that trust in public schools is declining.

This year, only 29 percent of Americans responded that they trust public schools.

If the public education system in the U.S. is to improve, then U.S. educational institutions need to move beyond traditional methods to keep students interested in what they have to offer.

Some of these methods might include having students take a larger role in their learning, making material easier to relate to and giving students more opportunities to participate in the process of absorbing new information through discussion as opposed to lectures.

If places like the UA take steps to improve on a national and global scale, there may be reason for enrollment to continue increasing next year.

Using CatCards off campus not so convenient after all D

espite how great CatCards can be, I’ve been in college for three years now and I’m still waiting for the UA to get meal plans to work at nearby, off-campus businesses.

It almost seemed like that was going to happen with the announcement that CatCA$H could be used at university-area restaurants like Gentle Ben’s, Paradise Bakery & Cafe, and Frog and Firkin. It can also be used at businesses like Campus Athletic and CVS locations near campus.

CatCA$H works similarly to a debit card.

Users add money to their accounts by going online, logging in with their university-issued NetID and adding funds, with a maximum of $250. Users can then swipe their CatCards at any business where CatCA$H is accepted.

However, vendors do not accept meal plan money, and CatCards can only be used in conjunction with CatCA$H. Expanding CatCard use to off-campus businesses is a start, but such a system could

Your views

This week, Arizona Daily Wildcat managing editor Bethany Barnes asked readers to weigh in on newsroom policy: What kind of rhetoric should we use to cover the immigration debate? What does it mean to use “illegal” or “undocumented” before the word “immigrant”? We asked. You answered.

FacEbook comments oNLINE cOMMENTS Considering they broke the LAW, they are ILLEGAL, this isn’t even a debate. If you and I break the law we did something ILLEGAL, This is no different.

— Christopher Summerhays

If I spray paint your exterior walls am I an undocumented street artist or are my actions illegal?

— Seth Alu How can a human being be ‘illegal’?

— Shani McCollum I think that when you come into a country without the proper paperwork and without following USA procedure according to law it is illegal, and therefore the term illegal immigrant is appropriate.

— Louise Scharf Illegal alien. Why not speak the truth with our words and not bullshit lying? Read the book “1984” ... and censorship of our language.

The Daily Wildcat editorial policy

Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings.

Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinion of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

If we go by the facts, then it would be “criminal immigrants” since arriving or remaining in the country illegally is a crime under the US Code.

Even those who arrive on a visitor’s visa and remain here can be classified as criminals if the visa was obtained under false pretenses. Albeit, they would not be criminals just because of the unlawful entry, but because of the fraud and perjury involved in the visa process.

So, IMPO, the term should be “criminal aliens”.

— augustoperez No, you should not use “illegal” to describe people, it’s not only inaccurate, it’s basically “othering” language that dehumanizes.

— Ramon When is that criminal ever going to face justice for his crimes,and be deported? Anybody else that has used false documents(He admitted to doing it) and commiting perjury(he admitted to it) and being here illegally,etc,would be in prison,then deported.

— David Burleson Uh, I’d refer to someone who drives without a license as an illegal driver.

It’s a crime to do so, just as it’s a crime to come into this country via any method other than the legal process. There is no need for another term.

Illegal immigrants are illegal immigrants.

Police Beat YAZMINE MOORE Arizona Daily Wildcat

Fast and furious

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was turning westbound onto Sixth Street at 2:10 a.m. on Sept.

20 when a driver in a maroon Mustang flagged him down.

The driver claimed that the driver of an orange Nissan 350Z had waved a gun at him and threatened to shoot.

The officer asked the Mustang driver to wait for another officer to come speak with him, while the first officer made a U-turn on Sixth Street and followed the Nissan.

The Mustang driver did not wait for additional assistance, and UAPD made no further contact with him.

The first officer called for backup and once another officer arrived, the first officer initiated a high-risk traffic stop on the Nissan.

When the vehicles reached the intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Country Club Road, the first officer exited his vehicle with his gun drawn and trained on the driver’s head. The officer told the driver to turn his vehicle off and put his keys on top of the car. The driver stepped out of the car and did so.

He was then asked to lift the back of his shirt collar as the officer pointed his pistol at the driver’s torso. The driver wouldn’t comply, so the officer ordered him to get on the ground.

He didn’t have his driver’s license with him and after a background check, his license was found to be suspended indefinitely for an unknown reason.

The officer didn’t find any concealed weapons on the driver’s person. He cited and released the driver for not having a valid license.

One man’s trash

A UAPD officer responded to the Communications building at 3:40 a.m. on Sept. 19 in reference to found property. When the officer arrived at the scene, he met with a UA custodian who showed the officer a black Converse shoebox he had found underneath the west stairwell of the building 10 minutes earlier.

The shoebox contained two homemade smoking pipes, a pillbox with various pills, two plastic necklaces, miscellaneous papers and four loose pills. The custodian said he hadn’t seen anyone around the area where he found the shoebox.

The box was taken to UAPD and the two homemade smoking pipes were marked for destruction. A second officer took the pills to the University of Arizona Medical Center inpatient pharmacy to be properly disposed of. The rest of the items were submitted as found property.

Yet another reason to hate math

A 19-year-old UA student was caught speeding while traveling northbound on Euclid Avenue at 11:10 a.m. on Sept. 19. The man was driving a white BMW at 67 mph in a 35 mph zone.

A UAPD officer who was monitoring traffic at Euclid Avenue and Adams Street at the time heard the vehicle speed up and conducted a traffic stop.

The driver identified himself with a California driver’s license and gave the officer valid registration and insurance information. The driver claimed to be aware that he was speeding and did so because he was upset about a math test he had done poorly on.

The officer cited the driver for criminal speeding and released him.

UA soccer impoving by leaps and bounds IMAN HAMDAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

In just one season the Arizona women’s soccer team has made a complete 180, going from one win in 19 games to five wins in 10. Here’s a closer look at the team’s turnaround.

A look back at 2011

The Wildcats went 1-16-2 in 2011, with their only win coming from a Pac12 shutout victory at home against Oregon, 1-0.

Of the 16 losses, 12 were shutouts, and Arizona’s longest losing streak lasted seven games.

Arizona had a miniscule goal-to-shot ratio, taking a total of 195 shots and scoring only eight goals for the season, meaning the Wildcats only scored on four percent of their shots. The most goals Arizona scored in one game was two, while the team’s largest goal deficit was a seven point loss to Stanford.

As far as individual performances go, then-sophomores Jazmin Ponce and Ana-Maria Montoya led the team in shots with 40 and 26, respectively.

Unfortunately, they didn’t translate well in the books, as Ponce and Montoya’s goal-to-shot percentages combined were less than 10 percent.

The stats are in Arizona’s favor in 2012

“One of the big things is that we are scoring a lot of our goals,” head coach Lisa Oyen said. “It’s been one basic thing that has come up that’s been a necessity for wins.”

By the fifth game this season, the Wildcats had tied the total number of goals they scored all of last season — eight. Now, Arizona is one goal short of doubling last season’s total.

Ponce alone is two goals away from tying the team’s record from last season.

Her goal-to-shot percentage jumped to 13 percent, while her shot on goal percentage is a team high at 51 percent.

“We are getting inside the box a lot more and actually finishing,” Ponce said.

On the defensive end, junior goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman already has 34 saves for the season, limiting opponents to scoring 7 goals in 10 games.

Different team dynamic

COLIN PRENGER/ARIZONA Daily Wildcat

MIDFIELDER ANA-MARIA MONTOYA’S performance this season for the Wildcats has been a key reason why the UA has bounced back from last year’s one-win debacle.

Arizona to debut copper helmets CAMERON MOON Arizona Daily Wildcat

When Arizona takes on Oregon State this weekend in Arizona Stadium, fans will notice something different about the Wildcats’ game outfits.

For the first time, Arizona (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) will don copper helmets, which were announced as part of a possible new uniform combination in the summer.

The copper helmets are meant as a tribute to the long copper mining history of the state of Arizona.

Arizona currently produces 63 percent of copper in the United States, according to the Arizona Mining Association.

“We’re breaking out the copper helmet … it’s our first Pac-12 home game,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “Our guys will practice in them Wednesday and Thursday to get used to the new hats.”

There will not be a copper jersey or pair of pants — at least this season — so Wildcat seniors, who pick the jersey and pant combination each week, will still be choosing between red and blue.

Senior quarterback Matt Scott and the other three players present at Monday’s press conference, who were the first to see the new helmets, said they’re leaning toward blue jerseys.

Scott had a small critique for the helmet too.

“They could make the ‘A’ a little bigger,” Scott said.

Senior center Kyle Quinn’s concern had more to do with size, as the helmet on display at Monday’s weekly press conference was a bit too small.

“Hopefully they have big enough ones for us linemen,” Quinn said.

“It’ll be great to represent what copper means to the state.”

“Overall the team chemistry this year is so much better than last year,” senior midfielder Ariel Boulicault said. “We are so close and we play for each other. We are all dedicated to the program.”

Boulicault believes the team has something to prove to its fan base and competition who underestimated Arizona’s abilities in the past.

The strong bond is not just seen

Tim Bennett was named associate head coach on January 18. He has quite the resume.

He served as part of the coaching staff for the Dallas Texans Soccer Club for three years before coming to Arizona.

He was the associate head coach for the Iowa State women’s soccer team in 2008, head coach at Portland State for three seasons and head coach at North Dakota for one season.

“I was very adamant about finding someone who had previous head coaching experience,” Oyen said. “He is a phenomenal recruiter and he is good at training the team.”

Bennett’s personality and undeniable love for his job are appreciated by the players on the team, especially the upperclassmen.

“After our hard loss against Pacific he came back to the bus and was talking to us seniors,” Boulicault said. “He engaged us in a conversation about what we could have done better as a team, which shows he really cares about this team’s success.”

Finding inspiration

The Wildcats wear the number 13 on their warm-up jerseys in honor of teammate Lexe Selman, who is battling leukemia.

“Knowing how much she is fighting makes us want to fight for her,” Boulicault said.

Selman signed her letter of intent to join the Arizona Wildcats for the fall 2012 season, but on April 20 the incoming freshman was diagnosed with the lifethreatening disease.

Oyen promised Selman that her spot is reserved on the team and even invited her to join the team via Skype for their first meeting before Arizona’s opening home game against BYU. “Everything Lexe has done has shown strength and courage,” Oyen said. “No matter what we are going to be faced with, we realize that the little things we struggle with that seem like such a big deal are nothing in comparison to what Lexe is fighting … It makes us fight that much harder because we have to live up to that same standard Lexe has for this team.”

HEAD COACH Rich Rodriguez showed the media Arizona’s copper helmets on Monday, to be used on Saturday against Oregon State. The helmets are meant to honor the long mining history of the state of Arizona.

among the upperclassmen, but the freshmen as well.

“We depend on one another and the overall attitude of the team is much more positive,” Ponce said.

Even when Montoya and junior forward Candice Osei-Agyemang traveled to play internationally, the team pulled together to support them by sending encouraging emails, tweets and Facebook messages.

After every game this season, the Arizona Wildcats (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) have practiced on Sunday instead of starting the week on Monday like most other schools.

Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez has emphasized that his team starts work on the next week’s opponent every Sunday morning as a way to put the last game behind them, win or loss.

He’s called it a “24 hour rule,” to make sure the team doesn’t

linger in excitement or sadness following Saturday’s game.

In preparation for No. 18 Oregon State, the Wildcats’ offense watched Saturday’s ugly 49-0 loss at Oregon together, a rarity for Rodriguez and his coaching staff.

In Monday’s weekly press conference, senior quarterback Matt Scott noted that Arizona’s performance on Saturday had already moved to the back of their minds.

“I think it’s helpful,” Scott said of the Wildcats’ practice schedule.

“It’s one game, really. We have a

long season ahead of us.”

Scott and the offense had their worst performance of the season, failing to gain more than 400 yards of total offense for the first time this season. Scott also threw three interceptions, two of which were returned for Oregon touchdowns.

Rodriguez mentioned that last week’s practices were not as crisp as previous game weeks, but senior center Kyle Quinn said there was not a specific reason: “We just didn’t practice great last week.”

Pac-12 roundup: Beavers on the rise KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

It wasn’t quite a coup, but the first full weekend of Pac-12 play signified a major shift in power as the North division separated itself from the South.

The top three teams in the North — Oregon, Stanford and Oregon State — beat the South’s top three in USC, UCLA and Arizona. Arbitrary poll numbers can’t argue with that.

Sure, the sample size is small and things change in a heartbeat in college football, but in the first third of the season the North has proven itself to be the power of the Pac-12.

Both Oregon and Oregon State made huge statements in week four and look to be elite teams in the conference, at least for now.

Oregon, the three-peat conference champion, is always expected to be near the top, but after their 49-0 annihilation of the Wildcats, the Ducks jumped over LSU in the rankings and now sit at No. 2 in the nation.

The scary part for Oregon’s future opponents is that it beat down Arizona mainly with its defense.

If redshirt freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota continues to develop, this could be one of the teams traveling to Florida for the BCS Championship in January.

But the Ducks didn’t even make the biggest defensive statement in the state of Oregon. No. 18 Oregon State completely shut down Heisman candidate running back Johnathan Franklin of UCLA and proved that the Wisconsin upset in week two wasn’t a fluke.

Sure, the Beavers gave up 20

points and Bruins quarterback Brett Hundley threw for 372 yards, but in its first two games the OSU has limited Franklin and Wisconsin running back Montee Ball to a combined 107 yards rushing.

Arizona running back Ka’Deem Carey better prepare for a long evening of zero space in Saturday’s game in Tucson.

The other North power, No. 8 Stanford, had a bye this week, allowing the Cardinal to continue basking in its victory over USC last weekend.

Speaking of the Trojans, No. 13 USC remained unimpressive for a third straight week in its 27-9 win at home over Cal. Trojan running backs Silas Redd and Curtis McNeal did run all over the Golden Bears in the fourth quarter to secure the victory, but USC led by only eight points at the end of the third against a one-win Cal team.

And that right there is the reason why the two divisions are in such different places right now — the South is full of question marks while the North is full of exclamation points.

Arizona and UCLA could be early season flukes after their losses this week, USC is underperforming considering its talent, Utah has no idea what to do with its offense after quarterback Jordan Wynn’s injuryinduced retirement and the Sun Devils are the biggest unknown of all.

Arizona State had another impressive performance in its dominating win against the Utes and its only loss was a close 24-20 defeat on the road at Missouri.

Still, the Sun Devils have yet to face a starting quarterback — Wynn just retired and Missouri’s James

Franklin was hurt, as was Illinois’ Nathan Scheelhaase.

Arizona State could be the second best team in the South division or it could just be really lucky with its schedule.

The one thing Saturday proved for sure is that Colorado won’t go winless, which is quite impressive considering its first three games.

In the battle of futility, the Buffs scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter against Washington State, including a game-winning four-yard scramble by quarterback Jordan Webb with just nine seconds remaining. The upset marks the first time all season Colorado has avoided taking the crown as the Pac12’s worst team.

That being said, Colorado still is awful — apparently the Cougars are even worse.

ARIZONA WILL FACE a tough task this weekend when it welcomes Oregon State to Tucson. The Beavers are the fastest rising team in the Pac-12.

Arizona women’s golf makes debut with a win LUKE DAVIS Arizona Daily Wildcat

Courtesy of AJGA

THE NO. 14 ARIZONA golf team, led by Kendall Prince, opened its season with a victory in the Mason Rudolph Championship in Nashville, TN.

The No. 14 Arizona women’s golf team won its seasonopening tournament on Sunday at the Mason Rudolph Championship hosted by Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN. At the end of the three-day tournament, the Wildcats had a combined score of 889 (25 over par) and finished 3 strokes ahead of No. 12 Virginia, who placed second. The Wildcats fought off Pac-12 foes Stanford (11th place) and Oregon (12th place).

Women’s golf head coach Laura Ianello was excited about Arizona’s performance.

“We knew beforehand we were going into a tournament that had a great field,” Ianello said. “Our expectations are always to win but in college golf it’s really hard when you’re going up against 14 competitive schools like we did. But the girls did really well.”

Transfer sophomore Kendall Prince made her Arizona debut and led the Wildcats with an overall score of 219 (+3). Prince’s collective three rounds (73, 70 and 76) were good enough to tie for second overall.

“I think I did pretty good in my first tournament as a Wildcat,” Prince said. “I think an early win like that shows what we can do and that we are only going to get better.”

Prince decided to leave Ohio State University after her

freshman year in pursuit of a program that better fit her goals, and Ianello believes her decision to transfer helped the team hit the jackpot.

“Kendall [Prince] is very motivated,” Ianello said. “She’s passionate about playing, she has an impressive work ethic and she is an incredible leader for only being a sophomore.”

Prince believes that there is still room for improvement.

“I liked to be more confident going into the final round,” Prince said. “I have to learn from that and know that nothing good comes from playing scared.”

Ianello wants the entire team to work on finishing strong, as the Wildcats almost blew an 11-stroke lead over Virginia in the final round.

“The whole team struggled in the final round,” Ianello said. “I’m sure it was mostly mental, but we really need to improve on that because we won’t usually win if we can’t finish or hold a big lead.”

The rest of the Arizona women also placed near the top of the leaderboard. Manon Gidali (+6), Janie Jackson (+12), Anna Kim (+16) and Andrea Vilarasau (+16) finished sixth, 23rd, 39th and 41st, respectively.

Ianello was thrilled that the underclassmen performed so well in their opening tournament.

“The early win helps the team to believe in themselves,” Ianello said. “To beat 14 teams builds confidence and momentum and hopefully shows them that the hard work they are doing is working.”

NOTES

their running backs.”

Jackson specifically cited Arizona defensive end Dominque from page 6 Austin for his performance.

The focus of the defense now switches to an Oregon State team “We can’t really look at the past,” Quinn continued. “This week, that, unlike the first four teams the Wildcats faced, does not run we’re going to take it one day at a time and put it behind us.” a spread offense.

“They have a lot of different formations,” Jackson said. “They have three tight ends that are real huge.”

The Wildcats’ Achilles heel a season ago was the poor play of How can Arizona’s defense counter that with their lack of size their defense, which was 110th in the nation. and depth?

The defensive line, which has had to add offensive players like “Be physical,” Jackson said. “Physical team defense.” fullback Taimi Tutogi to solve depth problems, is finally getting the push it needs, especially in the run game.

“They hung in there and gave us a chance in the game,” head coach Rich Rodriguez said.

Against Oregon, the Wildcats held Heisman contender Senior Quarterback Matt Scott had his worst performance De’Anthony Thomas to 48 yards rushing on 12 carries and just 11 of the season, completing 50 percent of his passes with three yards on two receptions.

“I feel like they did a great job,” redshirt freshman linebacker interceptions. Some of his passes were missed assignments by Sir Thomas Jackson said. “I felt like we did a really good job on receivers, according to Rodriguez.

Defense continues to improve

Environment did not affect Arizona receivers

tuesday, september

25, 2012

“We have some routes where you read the coverage, there were a couple busts there,” Rodriguez said. “The environment and atmosphere, they were into it and handled it OK, we just didn’t execute.”

Some of Scott’s missed throws came in the red zone, where the Wildcats failed to score all six times they crossed the 20-yard-line.

“Every time you’re in the red zone you expect to score,” Scott said. “We couldn’t make it happen. We couldn’t capitalize on defensive stops. It hurt us a lot.”

Scott’s injury not severe

In the first quarter of Saturday night’s game, ESPN showed Scott jogging to the locker room after taking a helmet to the hip.

Scott practiced yesterday and walked without a limp in Monday’s press conference. Although he returned to the game, Scott did indicate that his running game might have suffered because of the injury.

“I was hesitant to run the ball,” Scott said. “You’re going to take hits, get hurt. You have to get going.”

Foles might not be far from becoming Eagles starter MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles are not on the verge of a quarterback change to former UA signal caller Nick Foles, but Andy Reid’s endorsement of Michael Vick on the day after Sunday’s 27-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals was the coach’s softest to date.

Vick fumbled twice against the Cardinals, and he’s been responsible for nine of the Eagles’ 12 turnovers.

Reid was asked Monday when, or if, he would consider a quarterback change if Vick’s turnovers continue.

“Right now, we’re with Michael,” Reid said. “That’s what we’re doing.

We’ll evaluate it as we go.”

The statement was ostensibly an endorsement of Vick, although Reid’s qualifying it with “right now” and adding the ongoing evaluation raised eyebrows about how much longer the mistakes of the Eagles’ $100 million quarterback will be tolerated.

Later, on his weekly radio show, Reid backed off his earlier statement.

He explained that the question had come at the end of a news conference, and he emphasized his confidence in Vick.

“Michael’s our quarterback, period,” he said. “Does he need to get better? Do we all need to get better?

Yes. ... That’s what we’re going to work on starting Wednesday.”

Vick is a four-time Pro Bowler and has led the Eagles to comeback victories in two of three games this season. But after the way Foles played in the preseason, there’s at least reason to wonder whether the 23-year-old Foles would be a conceivable option for the Eagles if Vick were benched.

Asked whether Foles would receive first-team snaps, Reid said, “No.” The team’s concern is finding ways to help Vick, because at this rate, Foles’ entry in the lineup could come sooner because of Vick’s health than his performance. Vick was sacked five times and endured 13 hits Sunday.

The Eagles’ battered offensive line struggled against Arizona’s pass rush. Reid said left tackle Demetress Bell will remain the starter on Sunday against the New York Giants if King Dunlap continues to sit with a hamstring injury. Reid also said he has not yet considered replacing Dallas Reynolds with veteran Steve Vallos at center in place of the injured Jason Kelce.

Neither Bell nor Reynolds appeared to have strong outings in their first starts with the Eagles, although Reid believed that Reynolds improved after the first two drives. The Eagles will analyze the entire pro-

cess of offensive passing plays, Reid said, from the protection to the wide receiver’s routes to whether Vick is holding the ball too long.

“We’ve kept a decent mixture there of moving the pocket,” Reid said. “We’ve kept a decent mixture with six-man protections and chip in and so on, but we’ve got to make sure that we eliminate some of these hits on him, for sure.”

LeSean McCoy, a Pro Bowler who signed a $45 million contract extension in May, received only four first-half carries. The Eagles had five handoffs by halftime and 19 passing attempts, not including the three times Vick was sacked and three Vick scrambles. For the game, McCoy had 13 carries; Vick attempted 37 passes.

Reid said the Eagles thought they could take advantage of Arizona’s defense downfield. That belief hinged on stout protection, which the Eagles didn’t have, and big plays downfield, which they didn’t create. Since they were without their full stable of offensive linemen and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin was sidelined, it is understandable why Reid’s idea of how the offense could ideally exploit Arizona did not come to fruition. So Vick was hit, McCoy had little role, and the offense never found a rhythm.

What will my friends think if I transfer?

Q How can I tell if I’ve been roofied?

A. it have to do with drinking? The term originally referred to the drug Some of you might be wondering what’s “roofied” and what does

Consider your future and ask yourself this:

What will my friends think when I’m doing what I love after I graduate?

Rohypnol and now includes other drugs with similar effects such as GHB and Ketamine. They have street names like psychedelic heroin, mind erasers, or cat valium, and most are illegal in the U.S. These drugs were developed as anesthetics for humans and yes, animals, and are potent sedatives. That means they can knock you out and you won’t remember what happened! Some people think it’s fun or have ulterior motives (think date rape drug here) to sneak a pill or liquid form of these substances into an unsuspecting person’s drink at parties. Most of these are colorless and odorless so you wouldn’t know unless you started experiencing some of the following: • loss of muscle control • confusion • sleepiness or dizziness • sudden blackout • distorted perceptions

• difficulty with coordination • feeling out of control • nausea • amnesia afterwards • problems breathing

The problem with trying to tell if you’ve been roofied or not is that the effects mimic feeling really drunk. If a drinker loses count of how many drinks have been consumed or assumes it’s less than it really is, one could wonder if something was slipped in a drink. These substances have a synergistic effect when combined with alcohol, meaning you’ll feel much more intoxicated than usual. At high doses, breathing may stop.

Roofie Protection 101 from the Campus Health Service’s CAPS’ Dr. C: • Don’t accept opened containers from others; open them yourself • Keep your drink with you at all times • Don’t drink punchbowl concoctions • Don’t drink anything that tastes or smells strange • Have a non-drinking friend in your group • If you feel like passing out drunk and haven’t had any or much alcohol, get help • Avoid parties with people and places you don’t know • If you’re starting to feel sick/drunk, accept offers home only with trusted friends What Should I Do If I Think I’ve Been Drugged?

• Call 911 and get medical care

On a date, 98.5% of UA students prefer to be with someone who doesn’t drink or drinks moderately and stays in control. (2012 Health & Wellness Survey, n=2,406)
