ZonaZoo unappealing to some students By Livia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT More than 11,000 students bought a ZonaZoo pass this year. But the die-hard fans on the UA Mall four hours before the game aren’t the only ones on campus. Students who find the passes too expensive prefer to watch the game at home without having to deal with the crowds and those who simply don’t care

about football were there getting caught up with schoolwork. At the UA Main Library, linguistics freshman Rebecca Hynes was studying for a project. She usually goes to tailgating parties but doesn’t have a ZonaZoo pass. “I didn’t have enough money for one,” Hynes said. “I live offcampus so I have to pay for parking passes and things like that, so it was just too expensive.”

She plans on going to a couple of games, like the one against ASU in December, but not the majority of them. “I just don’t have it in my budget,” Hynes said. Family studies senior Deirdre Yazzie never bought a ZonaZoo pass. “I’d rather watch it on TV because I just don’t like the drunk people around, being disturbed (by them),” Yazzie said.

She acknowledged how how exciting the stadium atmosphere can be, but planned on watching the game with friends at home after she finished studying. Whitney Sheets was a member of Pride of Arizona marching band her freshman year, and had a ZonaZoo pass her sophomore and junior years. Now an art history graduate, she won’t go to any of the games, even though her friends and boyfriend will.

“I went for the novelty of it and the experience, and then I was just kind of done with it,” she said. On game day, the library receives a lot of visitors looking for one thing other than books: the bathroom. Senior Library Information Associate Pat Montoya said the volume of people at the Main Library is a lot smaller on these days, with a lot of people coming ZONAZOO, page 3

UA: Don’t get toasted Students teach high schools about sun safety By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Rob Paulus, a UA architecture alumnus, uses purchased and donated cans of heart-healthy kidney beans to build a heart-shaped structure in Margaret E. Mooney Hall at the Tucson Museum of Art in downtown Tucson on Saturday. The structure was inspired by a piece in the museum entitled “There is always Hope of Fruit” by Raymond Pettibon, and will be on exhibit until Oct. 1, at which point Tucson Community Food Bank will receive the food as a donation.

UA students, alumni build canned-food art By Abigail Richardson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Cans of food were sorted, stacked and made into unique structures by local architects, current UA students and alumni with backgrounds in architecture and engineering for the Canstruction charity event. More than 6,000 cans were used to build the structures on Saturday at the Tucson Museum of Art. The American Institute of Architects held the event in

conjunction with the Society for Design Administration. The AIA is treating Canstruction as the kick off for architecture week, which started Friday and ends Oct. 3. “It’s a series of events and lectures that we organize to establish public outreach to allow the architects of the community to reach out to everybody to talk about what we’re doing, what we’re working on and how architects actually help people in our everyday lives,” said Patrick Bradley, a recent graduate

of the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Canstruction, a nonprofit organization, hosts an annual design and building competition among teams who work in architecture and engineering. The event began almost two decades ago and now there are more than 140 competitions scheduled to take place this year. “We will be donating the several thousand cans used in the competition to the Tucson Community Food Bank to help fight hunger in

southern Arizona,” Bradley said. Since it is Canstruction’s first year in Tucson, the only category that will be awarded will be the People’s Choice, which is chosen by voters who visit the exhibit. The winning team’s entry will be submitted into a national competition. The three teams worked from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. to build large-scale sculptures made exclusively out of canned food.

A new program through the Arizona Cancer Center’s Skin Cancer Institute shines a ray of light onto the dangers of ultraviolet exposure to a generation of tanning teenagers. Project SASS, which stands for “Students Are Sun Safe,” will bring UA student leaders into high school classrooms to teach about sun safety. Four local high schools will participate in the pilot program starting in October. Denise Spartonos, community outreach coordinator for the Skin Cancer Institute, created the proposal after noticing a lack of programs on sun safety geared toward high school students. “Teenagers are not using the sun safety prevention we know will help,” Spartonos said. Each presentation will be given during a 55-minute class period. The program includes a PowerPoint slide show and several activities. “It’s very dynamic, interactive,” Spartonos said. “It’s really designed for the high school audience.” Presentations include information from the Skin Cancer Institute describing how to protect skin from sun damage. Interactive activities show students the differences in sun protection between various sunscreens and clothing. SASS, page 10

‘War of Roses’ girls get down and dirty UA sororities compete over three days for title

Cheers erupt into chants that spread down the UA Mall Sunday morning, attracting passersby to stop and watch this spectacle. No, it’s not the chants of Wildcat football fans after the home game. Rather, it’s sororities coming together to raise money for a cause. Beginning on Friday, the fraternity Pi Kappa Phi had its annual “War of Roses” philanthropy. A name that might conjure much animosity between the different sororities, in fact, brought these organizations together for a common cause: Push America, Pi Kappa Phi’s nonprofit organization serving people with disabilities. “It’s a great event to get to raise

money for a great cause,” said Patrick Verdon, a member of Pi Kappa Phi and coach for one of the sorority teams. However, “War of Roses” faced a complication. The philanthropy once had the benefit of a week-long period of events to raise money, but had reduce to three days due to a new regulation passed by the Philanthropy Advisory Board. The new regulation states that any philanthropy events put on by greek organizations cannot exceed three days. The board was allegedly getting complaints that weeklong philanthropy events were too long and stressful to participants. “War of Roses” is this year’s first philanthropy dealing with this time restriction. Last year’s “War of Roses” raised about $26,000, according to Pi Kappa

Phi’s Philanthropy Chair Josh Guzman. Though the three-day barrier might have impeded the amount of donations, this year’s “War of Roses” still was able to raise $23,000, Guzman said. The money helps send active fraternity members to places where ramps and other renovations for the disabled need to be built, according to Guzman. A portion of the proceeds also goes to the Children’s Medical Center of Tucson. “The reason why we donate a portion to Children’s Medical Center is because we don’t only want to donate nationally, but provide locally,” Guzman said.

News Tips

Yvonne Byrket

undeclared freshmen I noticed you are studying for (Eroticism and Love in the Middle Ages); I took that class last year, what are your thoughts on the class? The class, as far as difficulty, it’s a pretty easy class you just have to do the reading and do the journals. Are you kind of disappointed because when you see the words ‘love and eroticism’ you aren’t thinking the Middle Ages because that is what the class turns out to be about? So, when I signed up for the class I thought it was going to be more about, like you said, love and eroticism, a bit more interesting but it’s kind of like a history class a lot more boring than I thought. Is there still like 1,200 people in the class? Yeah, there are about 1,200 students in the class. So I’m sure there are a ton of disappointed people, especially the guys who were looking for erotic tips? Yeah. The teacher tries to relate everything back to love but it is completely about medieval studies it has nothing to do with love and eroticism. Yeah, and there is weird stuff too, like people getting down with animals and stuff. It is very strange, very not what I was expecting at all. So speaking of relationships and love, how do you feel about couples on campus that are just everywhere and all over each other like in the union? Like hanging on the chairs and kissing each other and stuff? It’s a little awkward especially because I come here to do a lot of work and stuff and to see them off in the corner, but I am kind of used to it. It is pretty common with teenagers I guess. OK, and would you ever sign up for a class specifically with the person you were dating? Probably not, just because relationships are so unpredictable. I just would not want to deal with the awkwardness if something were to go wrong. What has been the most fun part of your year so far? So far, just meeting new people and the experience but it has been really overwhelming just the change from high school to college. It’s a huge change. Love your look by the way, what inspired your style? I just am really interested in magazines and TV, things like that, but I mostly style myself. And what is one thing you hate seeing on campus, fashion wise? Mis-matching colors or mis-matching different themes for outfits that is just (sighs). — Caroline Nachazel

An ICEDOT could save a football player’s life

Some college football players are carrying a few grams of extra gear this season, and it could save their lives — yours, too. The In Case of Emergency Dot (or ICEDOT) is a small red disc that snaps onto a person’s shirt. The incredibly low-tech plastic chip grants access to an incredibly high-tech world of info, through a unique eight-digit number that medics can activate and receive a patient’s complete, current health information in seconds. It’s just one feature in the Invisible Bracelet system, a hightech version of the medical ID cards or bracelets people have worn for years — which are handwritten or permanently stamped and way, way out of date. ICEDOT owners register online and create a public profile of up to 160 characters, which can be sent via text message to a medic during an emergency situation and list up to 10 people medics should contact. The public profile is a limited one anyone can access — just as anyone could have read an old ID bracelet

— by texting the eight-digit number to 51020. But the technology goes further, letting users create a very detailed private profile with added layers of security. Emergency providers must show in writing that they are in good standing with their local health department in order to be a part of the Invisible Bracelet system. Each medic approved by Docvia, the company that designed ICEDOT, is given a unique login and password and trained to access the private profiles through a series of secured firewalls, using a computer or a mobile device at the scene of an emergency. “A vast majority of EMS services in this country, if they have not migrated to an electronic documentation system, they are migrating to an electronic documentation system,” said Bruce Baxter, CEO for New Britain Emergency Medical Services in Connecticut, a trained user of ICEDOT. Once a medic passes the secured server, he can input a patient’s eight-digit number to access

medical records in the private profile. This ensures a person’s privacy, Noah Roberts, Docvia’s CEO, said. “When a query is done we know precisely who did it, when they did it, and what patient’s PIN number was queried for how long,” Roberts said. He said the company monitors searches and looks for abnormal queries, like multiple searches for one patient’s eight-digit number or searches for non-active member identification numbers. On Sept. 11, the Oklahoma Sooners football team wore the tiny new medical devices beneath their jerseys for the team’s season opener. But Docvia sees the gadgets in use beyond the wide world of sports and in the world at large. “When you’re the patient and you’re in that chaotic situation … well, it’s unbelievable how many folks cannot remember their husband’s phone number,” Roberts said. “And they can’t remember which medications the family member is on; we’ve just said, take the guess work out of it.” — FoxNews.com

Professors defend ethnic studies in schools By Steven Kwan Arizona Daily Wildcat A panel of faculty and teachers from the UA and the Tucson Unified School District defined and defended ethnic studies in a public forum on Saturday morning. More than 160 teachers, parents and students filled Kiva Auditorium in the Education building to listen to the discussion on Arizona’s new ethnic studies law co-sponsored by the Arizona State Museum and the UA College of Education. “You are my other me. If I do harm to you, I do harm to myself. If I love and respect you, I love and respect myself,” said Curtis Acosta, a Chicano literature teacher at Tucson High Magnet School. He cited a study that concluded that, from 2004 to 2010, high school students who took Mexican-American studies courses were more likely to pass the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards test than those who did not. Sponsors of the bill, along with Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne and Deputy Superintendent Margaret Dugan, were invited to the forum, according to Beth DeWitt, program coordinator at the Arizona State Museum, but they declined due to campaign commitments or other schedule conflicts. Gov. Jan Brewer signed the ethnic studies law, Arizona House Bill 2281, last May. The bill prohibits a public or charter school from having classes that “either promote the overthrow of the United States government or promote resentment toward a race or

class of people.” It also prohibits classes designed for a particular ethnic group or that “advocate ethnic solidarity instead of treatment of pupils as individuals.” H.B. 2281 only affects public and charter schools overseen by the Arizona Department of Education, so the bill does not directly affect UA courses. However, UA panelists expressed concerns over its potential impact on their students and courses. Robert A. Williams, director of the Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy Program and E. Thomas Sullivan professor of law and American Indian studies, expressed concern about the effect of

the bill on his students. He asked guests to think of a famous Indian chief and to raise their hands if they were thinking of Geronimo, Sitting Bull and Cochise. Most raised their hands. “For those of you who have your hands up, how many of you can name the chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation? How many can name the president of the Navajo Nation?” Williams asked. Two and three hands were raised. “That’s what happens when you don’t have ethnic studies … Imagine now that you’re a jury that I have to talk to to STUDIES, page 10

in two hours before the game to use the restroom or ask for campus information. The library keeps gate statistics on the number of visitors per day. Montoya said those might “even show increased activity” because of game goers. “But if you’re talking about people who are coming in just to use the books and the computers, it’s probably gonna be less.” At the Science-Engineering Library the situation is similar. University library employee Nicole Ramsey always works Saturdays, and said “it’s dead” on game days. While there are usually 40 to 50 peo-

ple wanting to use their most popular study rooms, there were none until noon that day, and five people after that. Lines to use the computers didn’t exist; there were plenty available. “(The) restroom’s our biggest question. ‘Where’s the bathroom? Do you have a bathroom?’” Ramsey said in regards to what a lot of people are interested in before going into the stadium. Brandon Knox, a political science sophomore, was getting some work done before going to the game with friends. He didn’t have a ZonaZoo pass his freshman year also because of his budget, but he got one this year.

“It’s definitely expensive. I haven’t really mapped out how much it would be to buy tickets to go to each game and see how it compares. But also, it’s the student section and it’s pretty cool.” Pre-business student James Mays said that the seats you can get with a pass are well worth the money and it’s “probably way cheaper” than buying a ticket for each game. Anthony Vottima, a business junior, is the only one of Knox’s friends without a pass. Vottima said it’s “a little pricey,” and won’t buy tickets to any of the games during the season. Later, he was going home to watch the game on TV by himself.

Students build ‘Can O’ Worms’ with more than 3,500 cans

professional architects used more than 2,000 cans to create a 7-foot tall structure of a heart inspired by the museum. “There is a work of art that is a heart shape, so Rob Paulus (Bradley’s employer) pulled the installation from the Douglas Nielsen exhibit to create this heart,” Bradley said. “We are going to touch on that when we do the plaque explaining that we are trying to relate to the museum and talk about how construction fits into the community.” During the competition, the teams can only use cardboard and plywood for stacking and tape to hold cans in place. Gluing and painting the cans is not permitted. “You work with the labels. You can’t modify the labels because the food bank needs to know what’s in the cans. That’s the challenge, but also the cool part of

it,” Bradley said. “You need to know what type of can you are using for the dimensions and how you are going to stack them but also what kind of labels you are working with for the different kind of ideas you want to have in the installation.” The team of current architecture students built a sculpture called “Can O’ Worms.” “We went to the grocery store and took pictures of all the cans in order to figure out what we needed,” said Heather McWilliams, the project manager for the team of architecture students. “Our cans were donated by Fry’s so we had to use Fry’s brand cans … We were actually really lucky and all the funding was taken care of.” The Fry’s in Oro Valley donated 2,400 cans that were divided up among the

three teams. The third team, comprised of UA alumni, built a sculpture in the shape of a mustache in support of “Movember,” an organization where men grow mustaches during the month of November to promote awareness of testicular and prostate cancer. “The hardest part of Canstruction was going through all the cans and doing inventory,” said Jeff Hunt, a recent graduate of the UA College of Engineering. His team stayed up all night counting and organizing approximately 3,500 cans in order to build their structure. All three installments can be viewed at the Tucson Museum of Art until Friday, Oct. 1, free of charge. Visitors are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to the museum to contribute to the charity event.

Prose Series-goers taste Moody’s latest By Miranda Butler Arizona Daily Wildcat

For anyone who isn’t familiar with Rick Moody’s work, let me put it this way: he’s like the Jackson Pollock of novel writing, the Johnny Depp of short stories and the David Bowie of literary arts. In other words, he’s eccentric, innovative and ahead of his time. His pieces walk the fine line between genius and absurdist. Moody is most known for his 1994 novel “The Ice Storm,” which quickly became a bestseller and was later made into a feature film. He has also written other books and short stories as well as a memoir. On Thursday, the University of Arizona Poetry Center featured a reading by Rick Moody as a part of their Prose Series. According to the Poetry Center’s website, this series seeks to “(bring) writers of distinction to Tucson for readings and colloquia.” And Moody didn’t disappoint.

Moody read three excerpts from his most recent novel, “The Four Fingers of Death,” which was released this July. His book takes place in a small

Sonoran college town similar to Tucson — except it’s the year 2024, and the quasi-frame-tale is narrated by narcissistic novelist of the future, Montese Crandall.

The quirky and experimental nature of Moody’s writing was evident in his reading. In the excerpts that Moody shared, his audience enjoyed the mysterious, humorous and absurd introduction of Montese Crandall, an experimental and jokingly existential trip to Mars, and a strangely beautiful, philosophical yet weird love letter to a town called Rio Blanco. Moody’s clever, strange and truly original style is bizarre — but purposefully so. As Publishers Weekly writes, “To accuse Moody’s book of inanity is like calling a B-movie’s production values thrifty; the inanity is the point.” Similarly, Booklist’s review of “The Four Fingers of Death” explains, “Moody’s outrageous plot reflects his love of cheesy science fiction and allows him to tweak the conventions of the genre.” So if you’re up for a comical new work of experimental fiction, this book was written for you.

Club House organizes aspiring student DJs By Kristina Remy Arizona Daily Wildcat If you, like me, tend to mindlessly wander through the UA Mall between classes, you definitely appreciate the occasional lunchtime music. Last Thursday students were greeted with the sounds of Club House – a new student organization of electronic dance music (EDM) enthusiasts who have already made a huge statement since their formation in August. The group currently has 25 members and is hosting an information session this Friday for anyone interested in joining. Founder and media arts senior Michael Abate explained the group has three main areas of interest, one of which is disc-jockey-oriented. Aspiring DJs can work with fellow members as well as professionals in the industry to learn about deejaying as an art form, while also improving their techniques and learning about producing and other aspects of the music industry. The group is also for those interested in learning about the nightlife business, including club promotion and event coordinating. Member Bruno Magalhaes, an economics senior, has firsthand experience with DJ management. Magalhaes brought a Brazilian DJ to the U.S. this summer and arranged a five-stop tour throughout California. Abate started the club after studying abroad

and touring in Europe for a year. Abate deejayed in Sweden, France, Greece and Holland and found himself writing papers on a train in between gigs. When he returned to UA, Abate knew our campus needed an organization for people with EDM interests. He and Magalhaes also agree that the club is needed not just for student involvement, but also to help correct common misconceptions about EDM. “A lot of people think it’s about raving and doing ecstasy, and it’s really not. It’s an art form,” Abate said.

Magalhaes agrees: “We want to erase the reputation that EDM is full of drugs and remind everyone that it’s about expression and having a good time.” Both members agree that EDM’s presence in the U.S. is gaining a lot of momentum when compared to its European counterparts, which has been seen as the dominant EDM scene for quite some time. “We see a lot of potential in EDM here in the U.S.,” Magalhaes said. The club has already performed at Sam Hughes’ Place, Championship Dining and Gentle Ben’s in addition to on the Mall and will be having various events throughout the semester. So whether you are on the Mall or out Thursday night for a drink, keep your eyes and ears open for Club House because they are here to stay.

Trespasser mouths off to cop

A man with no UA affiliation was arrested on campus for false reporting to law enforcement and delinquent/incorrigible acts on Tuesday. He was transported home and released to his father after being cited by a University of Arizona Police Department officer and was banned from returning to UA. At 8:55 a.m. a UAPD officer on bike patrol noticed a man standing in front of a metal bench at a bus stop. The man appeared younger than collegiate age and was holding a green marker in his right hand. The man looked up and saw the cop approaching him. He stashed the marker in his pocket and quickly began walking away. The officer came up behind him and asked him to stop. When the man stopped he threw his hands up in the air yelling, “I’m fucking late for school; I need to catch the bus.” The officer asked why the man had left the bus stop if he needed to catch a bus. The man said that when he saw the officer, he knew he was going to be approached and did not want to talk to a cop. The officer said he did not originally intend to talk to him, but when he asked for the man’s name, he shouted “I don’t have any ID on me.” When asked if he had a wallet, the man responded, “I told you I don’t have anything.” The officer asked the man his name, to which he replied, “I don’t know my name.” The man gave a name and a date of birth after being asked a second time. The name was unusual so the officer asked him to repeat it. The man yelled, “You hard of hearing?” and repeated the name again. The officer relayed this information to a dispatch but no records were found for that name. The man kept saying, “I’m late for school, I need to catch the bus.” The officer told the man he would be detained for giving a fake name. The officer was able to handcuff his right hand but the man resisted having his other hand restrained. The officer told him to put his hand behind his back. The man yelled, “Fuck you, I have to go to school.” The officer was eventually able to handcuff the man’s left hand. The man yelled, “I know you saw me with the marker but it’s empty. It doesn’t even work, that is why you handcuffed me.” The officer warned the man that if he did not state his real name he was going to book him into jail as John Smith. The man then gave his legitimate name. He was told to contact someone from his family who was responsible for him, but the man said all his family lived out of town and he had no one to call since they don’t have a phone. The officer told the man that if he could not contact anyone to come get him, he would be taken to the juvenile detention center. The man then retracted his previous statement and told the officer that his father lived in town and might be home. The officer was able to make telephone contact with the man’s father, who said he was not surprised at the news of hearing his son had gotten into trouble. The father said his son had anger issues and did not listen to him or his mother. The father said he couldn’t go pick him up because his car was broken down and the only way he could arrive at the scene was if he took a bus. The man was transported home by UAPD. Additionally, the man is no longer welcome on any UA property and has been warned for trespassing.

Construction site’s potties pillaged

An unknown person cut a chain link securing a construction fence on the UA campus to use the portable toilet located within the fenced yard. The portable toilet had a padlock on the door latch that had been pried off and damaged sometime between 5 p.m. on Sept. 17 and 7 a.m. and Sept. 20. A UAPD officer responded to a report of criminal damage at the scene on Wednesday at 11:25 a.m. He met with an employee of the construction company that was working at the scene. The worker said that over the weekend an unknown person had damaged the lock, broken in, and used the portable toilet. He said that the portable toilets had been cleaned out before the construction workers left and that they had been filled up after the break-in. He believed suspects to be UA football tailgaters. The man decided to reinforce the fence and place a padlock on the door handle of the portable toilet for the weekend of Sept. 18. The following Monday when he got to work, he noticed the fence had been opened again. The padlock was broken off the portable toilet’s door, the handle was damaged and the portable toilet was again full. The man called UAPD because he wanted an incident report for the construction company and so that police units working the next tailgate would be informed of what had been happening the last few times. The officer made contact with the renting party and advised them of the damage. A work order was going to be placed for the portable toilet.

Have a lock? Use it

A bike was stolen from the Highland Commons bicycle rack sometime between 1 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. Tuesday. At 1:20 p.m. a UAPD officer spoke to the owner of the bicycle. He said that his road bike had been unlocked at the time that he left it on the bike racks, but that he did have a U-Lock on the handlebars, unsecured to the bike or bike rack. When the man returned at 12:15 p.m., his bicycle was missing from the rack. The man said he was unsure of the serial number of the bike but he would attempt to locate it and contact UAPD if he found it.

‘Now are the critical years to really provide protection’

Students can also look at their faces and the faces of their peers in a blacklight machine showing sun damage. “We actually have a volunteer that will come and put their face in the machine,” Spartonos said. “It’s a visual reminder that even a young person can have signs of sun damage.” Steve Schween, a health teacher at Cienega High School, will have Project SASS come into his classroom this semester. He was approached directly by Spartonos about the program. “I thought it was great,” Schween said. “Obviously, we live in a desert. I think it’s a good awareness program

for high school kids.” Schween said many of his students take sun safety for granted. “I think they can definitely learn a lot more. They don’t know much,” Schween said. “They just care about looking tan.” Spartonos will lead each program with three UA student peer leaders. About 25 students with health-related majors were trained to lead Project SASS sessions. “A lot of them are interested in community health,” said nursing senior Jillian Rogers, who helped develop the program. “It just helps

them practice their trade.” Medical student Adam Luber is a peer leader for Project SASS. He helped create Sun Smart, a similar program geared at elementary and middle school students. Luber said teaching high school students would be a new experience. “It’s a lot different teaching that type of demographic,” Luber said. “Third-graders seem to be extremely compliant.” Luber said many high school students already go to tanning salons or do not wear the proper protective clothing.

Students want option to learn about race

defend Indian rights and the only Indian chief you knew killed white people.” Most audience members asked about how the law would affect their children’s education and about the future of ethnic studies. One person, however, expressed support for the law and raised concerns about the use of “Occupied America” by Rodolfo F. Acuña in Mexican-American cultural classes taught at Tucson High School. “I feel very strongly that we should not be teaching hate and revolution in our schools,” Laura Leigh , 64, said in an interview after the forum. She

cited anecdotes where students and their parents were beaten or shot at by students who took Raza studies classes. Jennifer Marie Uzarraga , a second-year nursing student at Pima Community College, said she “hates” the law. She is using Acuña’s textbook in her Chicano studies class. “We should have a right to know where we came from, what we learn, or what we love,” Uzarraga said. “I want to know where my accent came from, I want to know why I do certain things or why I talk this way, why I think this way.”

ROSES

“Skin cancer, especially in Arizona, is a huge, huge issue among all people,” Luber said. “Now are the critical years to really provide protection.” Spartonos said she hopes these students will continue to communicate sun safety throughout their careers. “I think these types of educational programs are very valuable to any health care profession,” Luber said. “Having the opportunity and experience of trying to get people to wear sunscreen is important no matter what I do.” A $9,745 Community Connection

Grant, according to a Project SASS press release, funds the pilot program. The grants are awarded by the UA Foundation to projects involving the UA in the local community. UniversityHighSchoolandCanyon Del Oro High School are scheduled to participate in the program. Spartonos said the program will be reviewed in the spring. It may be offered as a for-credit course for UA student leaders in future semesters. “We certainly want it to continue,” Spartonos said. “We may have to adapt the program to fit the needs of the students.”

Alpha Phi wins charity event

According to Guzman, the efforts of Push America hit close to home. Founded by Pi Kappa Phi fraternity in 1977, Push America started out for the construction of a therapeutic play unit for the disabled and has evolved into a nationally recognized organization that has raised more than $8 million and donated thousands of hours of manual labor. Donations are raised through a donation link sent out to the sorority teams, percentage nights last Thursday and Friday at BTO Yogurt, as well as the efforts of the members of the fraternity themselves. Greek Olympics, involving mini games between sororities, kicked off the series of events on Friday afternoon. Each sorority raised its competitive side with the chants, cheers and songs of their sisters and coaches behind them.

Sunday night concluded the “War of Roses” events with “Greek Idol” at Centennial Hall. Each sorority prepared a full skit and dance routine that involved costumes, light effects and jokes made at the expense of fraternity members. Although all skits were full of amusement and laughter, each also had a more serious note. The hospital staff and some children of the Children’s Medical Center took the stage at the beginning of the show. It “shows the girls where the money goes,” Guzman said. At the end of “Greek Idol”, the winners were announced. The sorority with the most points from the events and the most money raised was Alpha Phi. “I hope more people do something like this,” Guzman said. “Fraternities get a bad rep, but we do “War of Roses” to show another side of us.”
