The insects are studied and modeled by several departments on campus.

First fest held for insects

By Kyle Mittan Daily Wildcat

The UA Mall was a hive of activity on Saturday, thanks in part to a research showcase from the Department of Entomology.

The department held its first-ever Arizona Insect Festival, which exhibited the university’s extensive insect collection being studied by more than 200 scientists on campus, including students and faculty. The collection included many live insects that are native to Arizona, as well as many mounted on display that can be found all over the world.

Although the Department of Entomology maintains this collection as a tool for teaching and research, scientists in the Department of Neuroscience and the Department of

Molecular and Cellular Biology, which use the insects as model systems, also use it extensively. The Department of Neuroscience ran a booth that explained just how complex insect brains are.

Wendy Moore, an assistant professor in the Department of Entomology who also serves as the UA insect collection curator, said the purpose of the festival was to educate people about insects, and to explain that not all insects are pests.

“We feel like insects need a public relations person,” Moore said. “Over 75 percent of all animals are insects, and they perform very important ecosystem functioning, including pollination and litter decomposition.”

Aside from the educational aspect of the festival, Moore also wanted

“We feel like insects need a public relations person.”

to highlight the lighter side of the experience.

“Everyone has a child inside them, and that child loved insects,” Moore said. “When they hold one in their hand and look at it really closely, they become a child again.”

Moore said she hopes the festival can include more insect art in the future.

A popular attraction at the festival was the Western Hercules beetle, a winged insect measuring about two

to three inches long, with a hard outer shell and horn, reminiscent of a rhinoceros. The herbivorous beetle is found throughout Arizona.

Rory Tibbals, a Tucsonan who lives near the university, said he decided to stop by the festival during a walk with his wife and son.

“We were just out for a walk and noticed this was going on, and thought it was about the coolest thing we’d ever seen,” Tibbals said.

He said he found the centipedes and the scorpions to be the most interesting, but made sure not to leave without visiting the edible insects booth, where they were serving chocolate-covered crickets.

“I’ve eaten crickets before in military training,” Tibbals said. “But they’re way better covered in chocolate.”

Arizona junior forward Kevin Parrom was shot early Saturday morning in the Bronx, New York, and is now in stable condition, according to a report by ZagsBlog.com.

“I have been in contact with Kevin and his family throughout the weekend and look forward to his return to Tucson and being back in class this week,” head coach Sean Miller said in a statement. “Our focus is on Kevin’s health right now.

Once we have more information, we’ll be able to address his Kevin Parrom potential return to Junior forward team activities.”

The 6-foot-6, 205-pound forward was shot once in the right leg, an anonymous source at the New York Police Department told SNY.tv.

“He was with a woman and two people came to that location and knocked on the door,” the source said.

“They followed him into a bedroom and shot him with a 22-caliber handgun. No one else was in the apartment when he was shot.”

Parrom was visiting his hospitalized mother, UA athletic director Greg Byrne said in a statement.

Parrom tweeted Friday, “Playing music for my mommy on my ipod.

Tryna keep her strong. I love her.”

An unnamed source told ZagsBlog. com’s Adam Zagoria that two men showed up to Parrom’s house, one wielding a gun, as Parrom was being visited by a woman. The source said words were exchanged with one man, who the source said was a jealous boyfriend or ex-boyfriend, and Parrom wrestled the men for the gun.

Parrom was grazed in the hand and also in the leg. His former AAU coach of the New York Panthers, Gary Charles, told SNY.tv that Parrom told him Sunday, “I’m good. I’m walking.”

There are 26 days until the annual Red/Blue game and 31 days until the basketball season tips off.

Ribbon cut in front of crowd for Árbol de la Vida and Likins Hall

Daily Wildcat

By Stewart McClintic Daily Wildcat

Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall and Likins Hall hosted their formal ribbon cutting ceremonies on Saturday, providing a close look at the features of the new residence halls to those in attendance.

One of the features of the two new dorms is their sustainability. Both new dorms are LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, certified. The new dorms include features such as electrical outlets that shut themselves off after a period of inactivity and a custom interactive website and kiosk that shows the hall’s energy and water consumption.

In addition, Árbol de la Vida has study rooms that double as classrooms for a more intimate classroom and learning experience.

The new dorms are the most recent installment at the UA and were built to help accommodate the rising population of incoming freshmen. Árbol de la Vida houses 719 students in five buildings: Alma, Bondad, Carino, Destino and Esperanza. Likins Hall, named after former UA President Peter Likins, houses 369 students.

Both dorms are meant to help foster growth, learning and a sense of

community among students.

The ribbon cutting ceremony followed speeches from UA President Eugene Sander, Vice President of Student Affairs Melissa Vito, Honors College Dean Patricia MacCorquodale and Likins.

“Residence life is part of academic life,” Likins said. He said the new dorms, “make it possible for young people to learn about each other, from each other.”

He said he thinks it is important for the residence halls to be more than just a place that students sleep and store their things. He said he believes the residence halls should be “comfortable and a place to

stimulate social interaction.”

It costs $7,450 to live in Árbol de la Vida or Likins Hall. One UA parent, Vittorio Luliano, said he loves the new dorms and that it is well worth the money to let his daughter live there.

Freshman Krystal Owens said what she likes most about the dorms is their feeling of “newness.”

“I would live here,” said UA parent Mark Rogers.

During the ceremony, Árbol de la Vida also displayed the winning photography from a study abroad competition sponsored by Snell & Wilmer Law Firm, according to David Scott Allen, director of devlopment for the UA Honors College.

The Pima County Medical Society honored three physicians from the University Medical Center University Campus as physicians of the year on Friday.

The event, which opened with a live jazz band, dancing and hors d’oeuvres at the Tucson Museum of Art, honored six physicians altogether, including three as physicians of the year for attending to the Jan. 8 shooting victims and helping to build the center’s trauma system.

“We are embarking on a new era,” said Rainer Gruessner, UA College of Medicine chairman for the department of surgery and one of the three honorees.

Four years ago, Peter Rhee, chief of the Division of Trauma at the University Medical Center - University Campus, worked alone but now has a staff of 10, Gruessner said.

“He saved not only (Rep.) Gabby Giffords’ life, but that of many others,” he said. “A quarterback is only as good as his team is … and I tell you I’ve got a fantastic team.”

Rhee, another physicians of the year honoree, thanked the community for allowing him and the trauma team to provide services for surgery.

“Trauma is not an individual sport, it’s a team sport,” he said. “I only take this honor and recognition to say that it’s for everybody out there that does it for us and we’re very proud of that.”

Michael Lemole, the third honoree

and the chief of neurosurgery at the center, thanked everyone who played a role in helping the shooting victims.

“What I learned is that the community both grieves together and heals together,” Lemole said.

Pam Simon, the community outreach coordinator for Giffords, was wounded on Jan. 8. At 63, she said she was fortunate enough to never have experienced trauma.

“But there I was laying on the ground in front of Safeway and loaded into a ambulance, and barreling down the highway,” Simon said.

She kept hearing people in the ambulance say “GSW,” meaning gunshot wound. Simon had two of them.

When she reached the trauma center, she said it felt like she was on a television set for a hospital show.

“Everything seemed to work absolutely perfectly,” she said. “I was immediately taken in, immediately somebody was with me, immediately somebody was giving me reassurance.”

Giffords fought hard to keep a trauma center in Tucson, Simon said.

“And how ironic that she received the incredible services of that trauma unit just a few years later,” she added.

Three other awards were given out that night, including the Rose Marie Malone Service Award, which was given to Dr. Eve Shapiro. She served as the chair in a committee to raise Arizona Medicaid eligibility to all those under the federal poverty level

Panel discusses Arab Fall outcomes

By Savannah Martin Daily Wildcat

A panel of UA graduate students and faculty analyzed key factors that will determine the outcome of revolutions in Syria and Libya and how these factors are currently shaping the conflicts.

Approximately 65 students, community members and academics attended “Anatomy of a Tipping Point: Opposition Movements, Intervention and the Military in the Arab Fall.” The discussion was hosted in the Modern Languages building on Friday by the Southwest Initiative for the Study of Middle East Conflicts and the School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies.

“Arab Fall” is a term used for the uprisings, and relates to the “Arab Spring” revolutions in countries such as Egypt and Tunisia, among others.

The panel addressed topics such as the role of violence, the impact of foreign intervention, the influence of minorities and opposition groups and the involvement of the military in each country.

Dylan Baun, Matt Flannes, Johann Chacko and Ahmed Meiloud, all graduate students who have studied or are studying the Middle East, offered analysis of these issues in four 10-minute presentations, with the hope that the event would shed light on the opportunities and obstacles of the latest Arab revolutions.

Foreign intervention, specifically

by the United States, was one of the most prominent subjects addressed by both the panel and the audience. In his presentation, Flannes highlighted the differences between the administration of President Barack Obama and that of former President George W. Bush.

Flannes said Obama is leading from behind, letting the indigenous population drive the revolt, instead

of taking what he called the Bush administration’s “strike before being struck” approach. Though this argument faced challenges from some audience members, Flannes said he was not condoning or condemning U.S. foreign policy, simply presenting the relative differences between the strategies of the two presidents.

“The West is very eager to intervene,” added Meiloud, “so that

they can shape these post-regimes.”

But regardless of how they are currently involved, he said, Western powers will have to accept that the emerging governments will serve their own agendas.

In the question and answer session that followed, Leila Hudson, panel chair and an associate professor in the School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies, emphasized

that the Arab Fall is unpredictable.

“There are more questions than answers coming out of all of this,” she said. The audience raised myriad concerns, from whether or not the unrest will spill over into Lebanon, to how the U.S. will involve itself in Yemen, to the fate of Bahrain, to the connotation of the term “Arab Fall.” When asked how the uprisings will affect the Western world, members of the panel said they hope the revolutions will challenge the deep-seated stereotypes many Europeans and Americans maintain about the Arab world.

Meiloud said he is optimistic because, due to increased media coverage, “people’s knowledge of the region is remarkably better.”

Once the panel had concluded, the conversation continued beyond the classroom. Tia Maitra, a graduate student in the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, said she attended the discussion in order to increase her knowledge of the Arab revolutions. She said she has been following the events of the past nine months and is curious to see how it all will end. As the panel noted earlier, the outcome of the Arab Fall is uncertain, more uncertain than that of the Arab Spring, and bound to change at any moment.

“Nobody really knows for sure,” Maitra said, “we are kind of waiting with bated breath.”

Proposal unveiled to renew peace talks Mcclatchy tribune

UNITED NATIONS — The United States and other world powers unveiled an eleventh-hour plan Friday to try to renew stalled Middle East peace talks, hours after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas made an emotional plea to the U.N. Security Council to grant the statehood that his people have failed to win in 18 years of negotiations with Israel.

The skeletal proposal by the so-called diplomatic quartet — the United States, Russia, the European Union and the U.N. — calls for Israelis and Palestinians to each offer comprehensive plans within three months of resuming talks and to finish the entire negotiation by the end of 2012.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called the initiative a “concrete and detailed plan” and urged the two sides to “take advantage of the opportunity to get back to talks.”

Privately, diplomats are deeply pessimistic about the prospects of a deal. The release of the proposal late Friday after a week of high drama and drawn-out diplomacy at the U.N. underscores how desperate U.S. and European officials are to draw the adversaries back to peace talks, rather than see the Palestinians rely on their sovereignty bid at the U.N. The latest formula ignores or papers over several contentious issues that helped create the current stalemate, and it is far from clear whether it

presents a fresh way forward or is just a face-saving diplomatic effort after a week of frustration.

Rather than addressing Abbas’ demand that Israel halt construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank before any talks begin, the proposal calls on both sides to “refrain from provocative actions” during negotiations. The plan also doesn’t mention Israel’s demand that the Palestinians recognize the Jewish character of Israel.

The world powers’ proposal was disclosed three hours after Abbas made a dramatic appeal to the U.N. Dennis Van Tine/Abaca Press/MCT General Assembly to shift one of the world’s most intractable conflicts in a Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas speaks before the General Assembly at the United Nations in New York City on Friday. new direction.

Hikers released by Iran MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

NEW YORK — Two Americans freed from an Iranian prison said Sunday their captivity was a nightmare of “false hope” and hunger strikes, with investigators telling them they had been forgotten by their families.

“We had to go on hunger strikes repeatedly just to receive letters from our loved ones,” said Josh Fattal. “Many times, too many times, we heard the screams of other prisoners being beaten and there was nothing we could do to help them. Solitary confinement was the worst experience of our lives … ” Fattal, and Shane Bauer were set

free on Wednesday and arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday, a day after leaving Oman.

“We lived in a world of lies and false hope,” Fattal said at an afternoon news conference. “The investigators lied that Ambassador Leu from the Swiss Embassy in Tehran did not want to see us. They told us, again falsely, that we would be given due process and access to our lawyer, the courageous and persistent Mr. Masoud Shafii. Most infuriatingly, they even told us that our families had stopped writing us letters.”

The two were released after a turbulent week of behind-the-scenes

negotiations. Joined in Oman by their parents, siblings, and Bauer’s fiancee, Sarah Shourd, the former prisoners spent their first three days of freedom in Oman’s capital, Muscat.

In New York on Sunday, Fattal read from a prepared statement.

“Releasing us is a good gesture, and no positive step should go unnoticed,” he said. “We applaud the Iranian authorities for finally making the right decision regarding our case. But we want to be clear that they do not deserve undue credit for ending what they had no right and no justification to start in the first place.”

school,” Peate said.

Dr. C. Peter Crowe, a pediatric surgeon, received the final and highest award of the night, the Lifetime Achievement award.

Though he was unable to attend the event, Dr. Rock Jackson spoke for him.

“He came to Tucson and he saw a need,” Jackson said. “He established a premier pediatric surgical practice and he continued for 35 years.”

Crowe was “critical” to the pediatric department because he shared new ideas and techniques in pediatric surgery, Jackson said.

“We have a vision that we share and we were able to put an academic organization here,” Rhee said about the medical center. “We don’t want to be the top in Arizona, but we actually want to be the top in the country.”

Boarders and pedestrians struggle to coexist on campus

By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

While bikes are heavily regulated on campus, skateboards are becoming more of an issue as their popularity rises.

Alex Rosenthal, a pre-business freshman, said he has been riding his longboard since fourth grade and has used it as his main mode of transportation since his bike was stolen. He said that although he hasn’t hit a pedestrian, he has come close many times when riding on the UA Mall during school days around 10 and 11 a.m.

“It really depends on the time of day … when everyone is going to class, I normally pick up my board,” he said. “At night, when there isn’t as many people out, I’m not nearly as worried about hitting people.”

Skateboards are pedestrian devices and are therefore supposed to be ridden on the sidewalk, according to Jose Bermudez, a crime prevention officer at the University of Arizona Police Department.

Bermudez said skateboarding is prohibited in parking structures and lots, and that skateboarding tricks are always prohibited.

“All four wheels must be on the ground,” he said.

Bermudez said first-time offenders are usually given warnings, but if they are

and is an “outstanding pediatrician,” said Timothy Fagan, the event’s master of ceremonies.

“What’s best for patients is ultimately what’s best for providers,” Shapiro said.

“My belief is what’s best for patients is to have access to health care by having health insurance.”

Shapiro said the community is fortunate to have talented physicians who understand the financial impact of taking care of uninsured patients. Without insurance, programs would suffer and everyone would lose, she said.

The Pima County Medical Society Volunteer of the Year award went to Dr. Wayne Peate, an associate professor of public health and the founding chairman of the Joint Technical Education District, which serves 18,000 students.

With the help of Steve Nash, the executive director of the Pima County Medical Society and other members of the community, they were able to convince 11 school districts in Pima County to vote for JTED, Peate said.

caught committing the offense again, their boards are subject to impoundment at Parking and Transportation Services. Repeat offenders are cited for trespassing, and if the tricks result in damage on the UA property, criminal damage is something UAPD will look into, Bermudez said.

Rosenthal said he knows he is not allowed to longboard through the Student Union Memorial Center, and that he never does because it is “not that big of a deal to pick it (the longboard) up to walk 100 feet or so.”

Alternative modes of transportation like skateboarding or longboarding can cause potential danger to those with disabilities.

Sherry Santee, a physical access consultant and physical therapist at the Disability Resource Center said blind students are “not too thrilled” about longboarders on the sidewalks. In the past, she said, a blind student complained about longboarders because they interfered with her seeing-eye dog.

“It’s difficult sometimes because of them (longboarders) startling the service animal,” she said. “I see it as a hazard, and sometimes not everyone comes forward and complains about things.”

Santee said the Disability Resource

Center requested to not let the Disability Cart Service come into their courtyard because it is a pedestrian zone. It is now marked that skateboarders cannot go there.

Skateboarders must always yield to pedestrians and stop at corners to ensure pedestrian safety, according to Bermudez. Skateboarding is prohibited on any pedestrian walk, ramp or patio where signs indicate, within any UA building, on any ramp established for individuals with disabilities, on any stairs, landings or handrails on UA property and on any university structures.

Liam Holdsworth, a physics freshman, said he has never actually hit a pedestrian but there have been near misses.

“Have I come close? Yes,” he said. “I try my hardest to avoid that though.”

Holdsworth said he knows he is not permitted to longboard in the student union and in parking garages, and that he never longboards there. Although he said a pedestrian has never yelled at him while longboarding on campus, off campus a man yelled at him to get in the bike lane with his longboard.

“I had previous experience longboarding, and for the most part, people are nice about me skating around them,” Holdsworth added.

Culture in AZ is better seen than spoken Storm Byrd Daily Wildcat

A

rizona habitually gets itself labeled discriminatory. As if Senate Bill 1070 and attempts to stop ethnic studies courses weren’t proof enough that minorities can’t be treated fairly, now Arizona is trying to weed out their accents too.

Guadalupe V. Aguayo, an elementary school teacher in a central Phoenix school district, was told she couldn’t teach students who were learning English because she had a heavy accent when speaking English. Aguayo, an immigrant from northern Mexico, learned to speak English as an adult.

The state reportedly used to send in monitors to assess the speech of school instructors.

Those who pronounced words differently than the reviewer would prefer were written up. For example, instructors who pronounced “the” as “da,” “another” as “anuder” or “lives here” as “leeves here” were written up.

As a result of being limited in who she could teach, Aguayo filed a complaint against the state with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The state has since stopped its program of sending in speech monitors, but still defends its actions. The state claims it was simply doing this in accordance with the infamous No Child Left Behind Act. The act requires that only instructors fluent in English be permitted to teach students learning English.

In all honesty, this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. The vendetta that Arizona has against the Latino population is simply unacceptable. An accent has nothing to do with one’s understanding of a language.

Anyone who has even dabbled in a foreign language knows that completely eliminating your accent is nearly impossible. To expect otherwise is ignorant.

Do red-blooded American citizens not have their own regional dialects that result in different pronunciations? Is forming the contraction “y’all” indicative of not knowing the English language? If so, there is a plethora of teachers in the Southern region of the U.S. who seem to be lacking proficiency in English. What about pronouncing “harbor” as “ha-buh”? Does that qualify someone as not proficient in English?

If it does, then just about every instructor in Boston shouldn’t be teaching students who are learning English.

Speaking with an accent doesn’t mean you can’t speak a language. Accents come as a part of a culture, they’re inescapable and punishing people for them makes no sense. Arizona has had an ugly history of regressing people’s culture, so in essence we shouldn’t be stunned.

At the end of the day, Arizona is simply pursuing its never-ending discriminatory campaign against Latinos. That doesn’t, however, mean we should just stand idly by while these hatemongers continue to try and cast out minorities like the Latino population. ­—Storm Byrd is the Perspectives editor.

Heroism is never against the rules

In response to “There’s more to patriotic pride than a song” (Sept 21): Maybe if you didn’t just mumble the words halfheartedly, but rather reflected on the words and what they mean and the history behind them, you would understand the significance of playing the national anthem before big events. It isn’t just the marshal (sic) connotations of the song, yes many brave men and women have fought for us so that we could enjoy the freedom of going to baseball games but the national anthem represents more than that, it represents all of America.

When you hear the national anthem you should also reflect on what America represents like its freedoms, civil liberties, dedication to the rule of law and its boundless compassion for anyone willing to help themselves better their own life. We sing the national anthem before big events, like sporting events, so that everyone might reflect on not just on what it means to be an American but also to reflect on what America means.

forward with the proposal, a formal invitation would not have been the same thing as giving the WBC an easy venue and captive audience.

In this context, hearing a WBC member speak in person could offer students a rare opportunity to directly interact with course material.

If Miami University truly wanted its students to fully pursue understanding religious extremism, it should have set aside its fear of appearing politically incorrect. Some ideas are scary. The idea that a bunch of nuts found each other, came together, made some really offensive signs and hung out at soldiers’ funerals is scary. But if we refuse to confront the scary ideas head-on, we can never develop a complete understanding of them and how to combat them.

By inviting Phelps-Roper and the WBC into the classroom, Miami University could have put religious extremism under a scholarly lens, one that would not further hate speech or extreme evangelism, but provoke thought and academic discourse. Naturally, the WBC was disappointed about the withdrawal of the offer. WBC member Steve Drain told the Miami Student it was a “sad state of affairs … for people to be so scared about what the Bible really says that they would pull an offer.”“That’s not an open exchange of ideas at that university,” he added.

It’s rare that the WBC gets anything right, but apparently it does occasionally happen. While the invitation to Phelps-Roper probably wasn’t pulled because Miami University’s administration fears the Bible, it’s true that pulling the invitation limited intellectual inquiry.

harmacies have become a major target for robberies over the last few years. As the market for prescription drugs has increased, so have the attempts to get a hold of them. Pharmacies have become what the liquor store robbery used to be.

One case in particular is that of Jeremy Hoven, a 36-year-old pharmacist from Kent County, Mich. Earlier this year, over Mother’s Day weekend, Hoven was the victim of an attempted robbery. At 4 a.m., two armed gunmen entered the Walgreens where he worked. During the heist the robbers attempted to steal cash and other items, including prescription drugs. One of the robbers jumped the pharmacy counter, pointed his gun and, according to Hoven, attempted to fire. Hoven then took the law into his own hands.

He immediately pointed his personal

“To fire a man for protecting both his life and the store’s products is downright inexcusable.” firearm at the robber and fired it. The thief urgently fled the store as a result.

Naturally, you might say that Hoven should be commended for standing up to these thieves. Walgreens didn’t seem to think so though. They fired Hoven after the incident. Walgreens dismissed Hoven, citing that they have a “no escalation” policy.

They also publically stated that he did not have a “right to carry or discharge a concealed weapon on its premises at any time.”

Perhaps Walgreens would have preferred a shot or wounded pharmacist and an empty pharmacy instead.

To put things into context, that wasn’t the

first attempted robbery at that particular Walgreens location. After a 2007 armed robbery, Hoven attempted to get Walgreens officials to install a panic button and other preventative security measures. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to find that Walgreens neglected to do this. As a result, Hoven created his own security measures by applying and receiving a concealed weapons permit.

Hoven is now suing Walgreens for wrongful termination.

To fire a man for protecting both his life and the store’s products is downright inexcusable. Walgreens is trying to make an awfully stubborn statement that does nothing more than make the company look utterly ungrateful for their brave and courageous ex-employee. What happened to his second amendment right to bear arms?

Hoven deserves to win his court case against Walgreens. He stood up and exercised his legal right to self-defense. It won’t be a surprise to see Walgreens settle this case out of court. What jury wouldn’t side with Hoven over this? It will be interesting to see how Walgreens handles the suit and if they remove this “no escalation” policy.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Sleep-running from the law

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the northeast corner of the Student Recreation Center at 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 19 to check the welfare of a man sleeping on a purple bag on the ground.

The officer woke the man, who had a white beard and no shirt, and asked him if he was OK. The man said, “Yes, I was just sleeping.” The officer told him he was not allowed to sleep on the corner and he was trespassing by sleeping on property owned by the UA. While the officer was speaking to the man, he noticed that he matched the description of a man the Tucson Police Department had been looking for in relation to threats made against Circle K employees. The officer notified TPD. When TPD officers arrived, they confirmed it was the same man. The officer served an exclusion order to the man. TPD transported the man to Pima County Jail.

Fuzzy details and mixed vomit

A UAPD officer was on patrol near Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall on Sept. 17 around midnight when he noticed a man sitting on a bench with vomit on it. The officer asked the man if he needed medical attention.

The man refused and said only some of the vomit was his. He was reluctant to tell the officer his name. He said he was 21 or 22 years old. He then gave the officer his Washington state driver’s license, which proved he was under 21. The man’s breath smelled strongly of alcohol.

He had red, watery eyes and his speech was slurred. He told the officer he had six or seven drinks, including beer and shots of alcohol. The man was cited and released at the scene for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Over the wall, over the limit

A UAPD officer was on patrol near Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall on Sept. 17 around midnight when he noticed a man bending over a wall, apparently vomiting.

The man was unsteady on his feet and had trouble sitting up. He had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath.

He identified himself with his Oklahoma driver’s license and submitted to a preliminary breath test. The man was extremely intoxicated, so the Tucson Fire Department responded to give him medical attention. The man was cited and released into the care of his girlfriend for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Get a U-Lock

A man reported on Sept. 19 that his bike had been stolen from Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall between Sept. 17 and Sept. 19. A UAPD officer spoke with the man over the phone. The man said he locked his bike to a bike rack at Manzanita-Mohave using two cable locks through the tire and frame, and then through the rack. The man estimated the value of the bike at $60. A victim’s rights form was mailed to the man. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

A new low Dismal first half against Oregon sets lowpoint for early 2011 season

Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

A

fter Arizona’s 37-10 loss to No. 6 Stanford, Wildcat players tossed wristbands and the like to kids in the stands, stopped for a quick picture and gave an obligatory high-five or two.

But after Saturday’s 56-31 beatdown at the hands of the Ducks, there was none of that.

Safety Rob Golden stormed to Arizona’s locker room, ignoring the calls of dozens of Arizona fans. Alwaysapproachable quarterback Nick Foles did the same, in obvious pain after being sacked five times in each of Arizona’s last two games.

It’s not hard to blame them for being ticked off. They’d just been blown out for the third time in three weeks, and this time it was kick-started by perhaps the worst “Some of these guys half that’s ever weren’t here five years been played at ago when we were pretty Arizona Stadium. shitty. It’s about attitude Arizona was unprepared to and growing up. That’s play against anywhat we need to do.” one at the Football — Mike Stoops Bowl Subdivision UA football head coach level, let alone a top-10 team with perhaps the nation’s most explosive offense.

The Wildcats started the night by drawing 15-yard penalty for a horse collar tackle on Oregon’s first offensive play of the night, then tried to match it by getting flagged for a false start on their opening offensive play.

After that, it was more of the same.

Arizona proceeded to get flagged for two illegal formations, one illegal motion, two more personal fouls and one illegal block — all culminating in what head coach Mike Stoops called the worst half of his tenure at the UA. “The first half was very frustrating and humiliating in some ways,” Stoops said. “I don’t have any real answers.

We were just unprepared to play.”

Receivers dropped passes, including Juron Criner dropping a surefire touchdown. Linemen missed blocks.

Defenders missed tackles. Even Foles wasn’t as sharp as usual, missing a pair of wide-open receivers deep down the sideline.

Arizona gave up 288 rushing yards to LaMichael James, a career-high and school record. In fact, the last three running backs to see Arizona’s porous defense have set career-highs — Oklahoma State’s Joseph Randle ran for 121 yards and Stanford’s Stepfan Taylor for 153.

It’s one thing to lose to Oregon. You can even look past the 56 points Arizona gave up. Lighting up scoreboards is what Oregon does, and it’s pretty obvious that the Wildcat defense isn’t a good one. Maybe not even an average one.

But to do it in the way that Arizona did, making mental mistake after mental mistake and appearing to take a step back?

That can’t happen.

After the losses to Oklahoma State and Stanford, the silver lining was that the Wildcats would be able to learn from it and get better. They saw how a top-10 team handles itself on the field. Arizona learned how big of a difference one little mistake could be on either side of the ball.

At least that’s how things were supposed to go.

Instead, it was business as usual for Arizona football, a team that sputtered to eight straight losses against FBS teams.

“Some of these guys weren’t here five years ago when we were pretty shitty,” Stoops said. “It’s about attitude and growing up. That’s what we need to do.”

Stoops finds few answers on defense

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

Mike Stoops is out of answers.

Arizona’s head coach held a post-game press conference full of “I don’t know” on Saturday as his Wildcat defense was beaten down on the ground for the third consecutive week.

The Ducks ran for a season-high 415 yards on 47 carries behind LaMichael James’ school-record 288 rushing yards en route to a 56-31 victory in Tucson.

Over the course of the last three games, the Wildcats have given up 854 rushing yards for 284.7 opponent rushing yards per game and 1,677 total yards for 559.0 total yards per game. For the season, they rank 114th out of 120 schools in rushing

defense, yielding 233.5 yards per game and 11 rushing touchdowns.

“Defensively, we’re just not playing anywhere close to good enough to win against a good football team,” Stoops said.

“We can’t commit any more guys to the line of scrimmage and stop the run. I don’t know what else to say.”

Arizona put eight, sometimes nine players in the box on Saturday at Arizona Stadium, but Oregon still shredded the Wildcats to pieces just like Stanford and Oklahoma State did the two weeks prior.

“We’ve just got to do what we’re told and find a way to stop (the run) because Coach is putting us in the perfect position,” said senior cornerback Trevin Wade. “He said go out there and make a

play. I tell Coach Mike it’s OK because you can’t go out there. He’s putting us in the perfect position.”

Three different Ducks finished with two rushing touchdowns each — James, quarterback Darron Thomas, and running back Kenjon Barner — as they looked faster, stronger and more experienced than the Arizona defense.

The Wildcats gave up 8.8 yards per carry on Saturday, a product of missed tackles, blown assignments and the youth and inexperience that has come from not having Jake Fischer and safety Adam Hall on the field.

Dropped passes doom Arizona Highly-touted WR group can’t hang onto the ball in defeat against Oregon

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

For months Arizona coaches and players raved about the Wildcats’ receiving corps.

It was deemed one of the deepest and most talented groups in Arizona history and possibly the country.

But in Oregon’s 56-31 lopsided victory on Saturday at Arizona Stadium, that touted receiving corps dropped the ball — literally.

“That was the worst we’ve ever played in a half of football,” said head coach Mike Stoops of his receiving corps. “I have no real answers for that. We just weren’t prepared to play. I’m frustrated we didn’t catch the ball better in the first half, (Nick Foles) made some great plays, some great throws that we should have made to keep us in the game.”

The trio of wideouts, Juron Criner, David Roberts and Gino Crump, combined to drop four balls in the first half, all passes that would have gone for first downs or touchdowns.

Roberts, who finished the game with four catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns, started the trend on Arizona’s second drive of the game. Foles found him

down the seam on 3rd-and-8 for what could have turned into a 59-yard touchdown, or at least a big first down.

But instead, the ball slipped out of Roberts’ hands and Arizona went three and out.

“When things go wrong they just start spiraling out of control. If I could blame anybody, I’d blame myself,” Roberts said.

“I had one of the first drops. That’s one thing we can’t do.”

On Arizona’s first drive of the second quarter, the Wildcats drove from their own 6-yard line down to Oregon’s 49. On 1st-and-10, Foles put a ball right on the money to Crump down the right sideline

V-ball beats Wazzou, falls to UW No. 1 soccer team slaughters Wildcats

By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat

The Arizona volleyball team had its second consecutive split this weekend at McKale Center, beating the Washington State Cougars yesterday after falling to No. 4 Washington on Friday.

On Sunday the Wildcats (10-3, 2-2). beat the Cougars in three straight games, 25-13, 25-19 and 25-19.

Head coach Dave Rubio described it as a low-energy win.

“It was pretty flat on both sides,” Rubio said. “It was a good win though. All wins are equal in importance and it was good to get one today.”

As for Friday’s match, it was the best of times and the worst of times for the Wildcats.

“It was certainly a tale of two matches for us,” said Rubio after the Wildcats lost to the No. 4 Washington Huskies, 3-0 on Friday.

There was a dramatic difference between how the Wildcats played in the first half of the match than in the second half.

For the first game the Wildcats were neck and neck with the favored Huskies.

Nearing the end of the first set, the Huskies were up 22-18, but the Wildcats persevered and tied the match at 24-24.

As the Wildcat fans rose to their feet for Arizona’s game point opportunity, the No.1 freshman in the country, Washington outside hitter Krista Vansant shut the Wildcats down, and Washington came back to win the first set 27-25.

UA falls to 0-8-1 record on season after loss to Stanford

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

Colin Prenger / Daily Wildcat

Arizona senior Courtney Karst follows through on a shot during Sunday’s 3-0 game in the Wildcats’ win against the Washington State Cougars.

7-0. That’s what the scoreboard read Saturday night when the Arizona soccer team fell to the No. 1-ranked Stanford Cardinal in Palo Alto, Calif.

Following last week’s tie against Texas Tech, which was the 0-8-1 Wildcats’ first non-loss of the season, there was a sense among coaches and players that this was a step forward for a team that has struggled all year.

But if last week’s game was a step forward, then Saturday night was two steps back.

“We had moments where we looked decent, but overall it was a poor performance,” said senior goalkeeper Ashley Jett. “We turned over the ball too much in our half (of the field).”

“We missed tackles, we missed marks,” she added. “Overall it was a poor performance.”

The Wildcats were outshot 39-9 and, in the first half alone, Stanford had 20 shots to Arizona’s zero. The game was a struggle for Arizona, but that was

to be expected considering the talent of the Stanford Cardinal squad. Jett said that Arizona knew going in that it was facing one of the top teams in the nation, but the Cardinal turned to be even better than expected.

“They’re deep all throughout the field. They don’t really have a weak link,” Jett said.

Jett was pulled from the game after almost 60 minutes in the net for sophomore Lorena Aragon. Jett had four saves, but also let up five goals in the loss. Aragon didn’t fare much better, with three saves and two goals against in her first time at goalkeeper for the Wildcats since the first two matches of the 2010 season.

Dating back to last season, the team has now lost six straight games in the conference and nine of the last 10. In Jett’s eyes, the Pac-12 is the top conference in the nation, and competing against top teams game-in, game-out is why she chose to play soccer at Arizona.

“It’s definitely a tough conference.

There’s no easy games and no games that you can take off. No guaranteed wins in this conference,” Jett said.

“It’s definitely difficult but that’s why we all signed up to play in this conference to be in the top tier of the nation.”

Oregon running back sets record, runs all over Wildcats LaMichael James came into Saturday’s contest against Arizona with extra motivation.

After rushing for only 121 yards on 30 carries through the first two games of the season, sports writers said James lost a step due to his added weight in the offseason.

He wasn’t the same back as last year, they wrote. They may have be right, but on Saturday, James proved he’s better.

The junior back shredded Arizona’s defense on Saturday for a schoolrecord 288 yards and two touchdowns on only 23 carries, good for 12.5 yards per carry average.

“Keep writing bad things about him,” said Oregon head coach Chip Kelly. “Maybe he’ll run for 400 next week.”

With his 288 yards, James edged former Oregon running back Onterrio Smith, who ran for 285 yards against Washington State in 2001 to capture the Ducks’ single-game rushing record.

James’ two scores also catapulted him past Derek Loville (1986-89) for the most rushing touchdowns in school history with 42.

“I thought LaMichael James was spectacular,” said head coach Mike Stoops after the game. “He’s a pretty special guy.”

James set the tone for the Ducks,

We’re playing a young middle linebacker that really gets overwhelmed sometimes and that’s hard for a kid today,” Stoops said of freshman linebacker Rob Hankins. “We’re kind of searching our way defensively to give ourselves a chance to win.”

The run-defense downfall began against Oklahoma State when the Wildcats gave up 197 yards on the ground with sophomore Joseph Randle rushing for 121 yards and

came out strong for the second set.

Though midway through, mentalities shifted and old habits resurfaced.

“Washington has always been a good team when they are ahead,” Rubio said.

“They become more aggressive, they kind of step on the pedal and make you play for any lack of execution, and they did that. They became more aggressive with their serving and we became less aggressive with our passing.”

The Huskies went on to win the next two sets, 25-18 and 25-10.

Senior captain Courtney Karst acknowledged her team’s pattern of inconsistency.

“We need to start being more consistent throughout the game, because the people we play against are always consistent so we have to pick up our game,” Karst said. “They (Washington) were putting more pressure on us,

who rushed for a season-high 412 yards as a team, on the first drive of the game.

two scores.

Then there was Stanford.

Cardinal running back Stepfan Taylor ran for a career-high 153 yards on 22 carries last week — more yards than he gained in his first two games combined — as Stanford rushed for 242 yards as a whole on Arizona.

With Randle and Taylor running right through Arizona’s defense the way they did, it was no surprise that James, a Heisman frontrunner, had a career day.

and we couldn’t really handle it.

We learned from it.”

Freshman Madison Kingdon said Arizona must learn how to react to opposing teams.

“I think once they start pushing, we need to push harder,” Kingdon said.

Both Kingdon and Karst said that had they won the first game, they very well could have won the entire match against the Huskies.

Rubio wasn’t happy with how his team played at the end, but its play in the first half of the game caught him by surprise.

“Game three was extremely disappointing,” he said. “The fact that we just kind of gave up, quit fighting them, I think we had it in us. Aside from that, for a game and a half we were really good, better than I actually ever envisioned us being.

“I certainly never want to sell us short,” he added, “but I didn’t know what we were going to get this year, because we have so many new kids.

James and the Ducks wouldn’t look back from there.

“I think the team really feeds off me,” he said. “I have to come in here and I have to run physical and I feel like when I do things like that, I get our team really amped up.”

Weekend Highlights

Against Washington on Friday, freshman Madison Kingdon had her fourth double-double of the season with 13 kills and 11 digs.

Sophomore libero Candace Nicholson contributed 17 digs to the Wildcats.

Against the Cougars yesterday, senior captain Courtney Karst led the team to victory with 11 kills and two blocks.

Both Kingdon and senior Cursty Jackson had 10 kills, and freshman Chloe Mathis made 35 setting assists.

The team nabbed their secondhighest hitting percentage of the season with .366. Their highest, .548, was achieved during an earlier season match against Presbyterian.

James ended the game with seven runs of 15 yards or more, including two 47-yard scampers and a 31-yard burst.

His ability to bounce off of tackles combined with his breakaway speed is what has made James the nation’s leading rusher with 613 yards — two more than South Carolina’s Marcus Lattimore.

“To run for 288 in a league game on the road is special,” Kelly said. “I just can’t say enough. I think he’s a special player and we’ll ride him as long as we can here.

“I was amazed. It was an amazing thing to see him run like that today.

He’s just an impressive young man.

He’s such a warrior.”

James’ combination of power and speed proved too much for a struggling Arizona defense. Although bad tackling contributed to the success, James was relentless, fighting for extra yards and refusing to go down even when the game was out of reach. He rushed for more yards on Saturday than he had in his two career games against Arizona — 243 yards and two scores on 47 carries.

“He’s good at what he does. He’s shifty,” said Arizona linebacker Paul Vassallo. “I don’t know how he slips out of some of the tackles. He’s got great balance, I know that. I think that’s just what he does. He’s made a living off of it so far.”

Since facing criticism after week two, James has rushed for 492 yards and five touchdowns during his last two games.

“He’s a special player and we’re just really happy he’s with us,” Kelly said.

Wildcats are in trouble.

“I’m just disappointed,” said senior linebacker Paul Vassallo. “It’s 500 yards, 500 yards, 600 yards or whatever it may be. We know we have to pick that up on defense. We can’t expect to win every game 60 to 55. That’s not realistic. We have to clean it up on defense.”

Oregon’s speed and high-paced offense proved too much for Arizona. The Ducks scored seven of its eight touchdowns in less than three minutes, and the Wildcats couldn’t keep up.

Arizona’s defense — namely the run defense — has proven to

that would have gone for at least 25 yards.

But like Roberts, Crump couldn’t come up with the catch. Two plays later on 3rd-and-10, Criner got behind the Ducks’ secondary and Foles dropped what would have been a huge 49-yard touchdown in the receiver’s bread basket.

Criner, who failed to come down with a couple of balls against Stanford, let the ball slip right through his hands. On Arizona’s next drive, the usually sure-handed Criner dropped yet another pass that was right in his hands, this time on 2nd-and-14.

The completion would have given Arizona a manageable 3rd-and-1, but instead it was forced to punt.

be one of the Pac-12’s worst. The Wildcats still say their goal is to win the Pac-12 South, but if they can’t stop anybody defensively, they might have to adjust their aspirations.

“You can’t drop balls, you can’t not stop the run, you can’t beat anyone like that, Stoops said.

“That’s not good football. That’s not sound, and that’s our job to make it better.

“You’ve got to play good to win any game. It doesn’t matter if it’s NAU, if it’s Washington. We can’t win any games unless we get better as a team. That’s the reality.”

of those catches this thing would have been a little bit tighter than I would have liked,” said Oregon coach Chip Kelly.

Douglas (career-high 120 yards on seven catches) and Richard Morrison (five catches for 64 yards and a score) played well, but the rest of the UA receiver corps forgot to show up.

Foles completed 34-of-57 passes for 398 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.

Those numbers would have been even more impressive with a few crucial catches here and there.

“Nick’s not perfect, he’s not going to be able to make every single throw,” Douglas said. “There’s times where we’ve got to bail him out as receivers and make plays.

“We weren’t doing that in the first half at all,” he added. “We had drops, we had mistakes. We’ve got to take that personally as a receiving corps and we’ve got to get better this week.”

Gathering of spiders puzzles onlookers McClatchy Tribune

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Tom Underwood was walking his golden retriever near the Huffman Park Drive post office in Anchorage, Alaska, earlier this month when he came across an extraordinary sight: a field with silky, white webs strewn over the tops of a wide swath of yarrow, fireweed and other plants, in a strip maybe 20-feet deep and 40-feet long.

The gauze was filled with lots and lots of spiders — itself unusual since most spiders don’t gather in groups.

Underwood’s discovery was interesting enough to a Cooperative Extension Service pest technician that he collected some of the spiders, preserved them, and sent the specimens and photos to a spider expert in Fairbanks, Alaska.

The spiders, says expert Brandi Fleshman, were trying to use their silk to catch air and migrate somewhere else. It’s called ballooning.

“I would say the event is somewhat unusual,” Fleshman said in an e-mail. She said it’s not something you see every day, but it’s not unheard of.

Fleshman is a University of Alaska Fairbanks graduate student who is expanding scientists’ knowledge of spiders in Alaska.

Starting in 2007 when she was an undergraduate, she has been researching, collecting and adding to the list of kinds of spiders known to inhabit Alaska. It’s now more than 500, from less than 300 that had been listed by others.

Ballooning, she said, “involves climbing up on some high surface like the tops of vegetation, raising their body up (basically standing on their tip-toes), and letting out strands of silk into the wind. If the updraft is enough to catch the silk and produce lift, the spider lets go and is carried off as far as the breeze will take it.”

It may take many tries, and with a lot of spiders doing it, the silk may accumulate, she said.

Derek Sikes, curator of insects for the University of Alaska Museum in Fairbanks, said in the Aleutians spiders get from island to island this way.

The spiders next to the Huffman post office were pea-sized (including their legs),

and a species that is widespread across much of the world. They are Centromerus sylvaticus, Fleshman said.

The species has not been reported as gregarious, she said. “However, there are numerous accounts in the literature of mass dispersal events of spiders” — a bunch of them attempting to move from a particular spot at once.

When she first saw photos of the Huffman spiders and their silk, she thought they might be leaving because of poor conditions for overwintering there, she said in an e-mail to the Cooperative Extension technician in Anchorage, Michael Rasy. But on further study, she learned that there would likely be more species of spiders migrating with them if that were the case.

Another likely conclusion found in spider literature is that such migration is “a natural part of the life cycle of some spiders, and just something they do after maturing,” said Fleshman.

Spiders from the a single species would mature around the same time, which might be why so many tried to go at once, she said.

On the spot

Don’t worry about flaking on the flakers Here you are, having waited two hours on a flake (friend). How do you feel?

I feel like I want to go home and get my weekend started (laughs).

Don’t we all? So what’s the worst thing about flakes?

I think they waste my time, and it makes me want to waste theirs.

Offbeat

fans of all faces

How will you waste flakes’ time in the future?

Bianca Williams I can do what they do and just not show up. anthropology senior So you mentioned that they’re going to pay you back double (for flaking)?

Right, that’s true, I forgot about that. I usually like to keep them waiting, and then when I do arrive, they owe me both a beer and a hookah session.

Damn straight. But what if they flake on the hookah session, too? Would they still owe you double, or just triple?

I would have to say it depends on the day.

Well, let’s say they do it on a Friday.

On a Friday, I’m out of there and I’m not talking to them for the rest of the weekend.

A solid plan.

• Sixty-seven percent of people who open a fortune cookie will read it aloud to whomever they are eating with.

• Originally, fortune cookies were handmade with chopsticks. In 1964, Edward Louie invented a machine that made them.

• George Jung, who founded the Hong Kong Noodle

Company in Los Angeles, is said to have invented the modern fortune cookie sometime around 1918.

• Fortune cookies are thought to be an adaptation of the Japanese Tsujiura Senbei, which also presented a fortune, but in the fold rather than the inside of the cookie.

The Bear Down Times

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships 30% of UA students report that they have never had intercourse. (2011 Health and Wellness Survey, n=2,479)

Q What is an orgasm?

A. The highly pleasurable peak of intense sexual excitement and release of sexual tension, characterized by involuntary contractions of the muscles of the genitals, and accompanied by a dramatic increase in

heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing.

Orgasm is usually observed with the ejaculation of semen in males and by vaginal contractions in females.

Q Why is the female orgasm so fickle?

A. Males are very likely to experience an orgasm after sexual arousal; however, ladies find that the “Big O” is much more capricious or unpredictable. The answer may lie in evolutionary science which asks the question, what is the function of the female orgasm anyway? Researcher Elisabeth Lloyd, author of The Case of the Female Orgasm, observes that male orgasm is required for reproduction since it is usually associated with ejaculation and the transfer of sperm through seminal fluid. By contrast, female orgasm may be the equivalent of male nipples – an evolutionary holdover which is hard to explain.

Women are more likely to experience orgasm through clitoral rather than vaginal stimulation. The vagina, which only has a few nerve endings located mostly in the lower third of the organ, may offer a woman feelings of closeness or fullness during

intercourse. The clitoris, located just under the upper vaginal lips (labia), is more likely to elicit an orgasmic response, due to its bundle of highly sensitive nerve endings.

In fact, the clitoris appears to have only a single function: pleasure.

Estimates show that 40-60% of women in the college age group do not typically reach orgasm during sex. The primary reason for this is often a relative lack of sexual experience both in women and their partners.

With time and experience, however, women find that they become more aware of and comfortable with their bodies, and are able to make the female orgasm a little less fickle.

COMMENTARY

Leggings: Simplicity and fit are key The solution is to stop wearing them with crop tops and tight tanks. This once risqué fashion is no longer in style. I don’t care how great your body is, leggings should be worn with a shirt that covers the majority of your derrière.

The reason people think they are Ashley Pearlstein unfashionable is because there are always DAILY WILDCAT fashion mistakes where the pattern looks like the floral print on your grandma’s couch.

Simplicity goes a long way when choosing t has come to my attention people hold a and a fashion statement. (Ask your mom, I’m leggings. sure she has some ‘80s pictures rocking the deep hatred for leggings.

Finally, to address the issue of onlookers being able to see through the spandex: This is a growing epidemic. I don’t know if some girls are still wearing their high school leggings, post-Freshman 15, or if they don’t understand that leggings can be too tight just like normal pants, but I am here to tell you to be smart while buying.

If you can see through them, they do not fit.

It also doesn’t help that Forever 21 leggings for $9.99 have almost no material to them. If you want to wear leggings as a fashion statement, spend a little extra and get some that are appropriate for public.

Girls wearing too tight leggings, leggings with unacceptably bold prints and leggings with workout gear around campus for the day have given them a bad name. While I believe that they can, obviously, be worn the wrong way, I also believe that they are trendy and cute when paired with the right outfit.
