he UA Main Library’s new policy of only UA students after 9 p.m., effective Aug. 22, has raised questions about its role in the Tucson community. There is a wide misconception among students that the rule has gone into effect as a result of a “homeless” issue, said Robyn Huff-Eibl, team leader for the UA Main Library. Huff-Eibl said the policy is not in response to a homeless issue, but actually an adjustment to budget cuts. The library’s first commitment is to UA students, staff and faculty, HuffEibl said, and the rule simply allows the staff more availability to assist the UA community. Huff-Eibl also said students need to be more cautious with their assumptions that certain individuals fall under the category of “homeless.” “We have received complaints from UA students about the homeless, but it is important to understand that some who are being categorized as ‘homeless’ are actual enrolled UA students,” Huff-Eibl said. Jared Smith, a psychology junior, said that although the new 9 p.m. rule is helpful, the library should have a separate floor dedicated entirely to UA students. “Sometimes I’ll be trying to use the computers and there will be people who aren’t students using the computers,” Smith said. However, as Huff-Eibl pointed out, many UA students are guilty of assuming non-traditional UA students to be either homeless or outside of the UA community. Daren Sax, 52, who is homeless, said he understands the logic behind the new policy,
and that he uses the computers primarily to surf the web and job search, but will often leave the library between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when it’s busy with students. “I feel for them because they’re actually working pretty hard,” Sax said. Even though the policy makes sense from and the UA’s stand point, it’s been tough on the homeless, Sax said. “I know a few homeless guys here that I’m friends with, they kind of hide stuff because they stay here and sleep in here,” Sax said. Tucson’s scorching heat is another reason why the homeless use the library during the day, and when temperatures start dropping they’ll stay out more, Sax said. Michael Llantino, a business sophomore, said that despite the library’s diverse users, he doesn’t feel personally bothered by the homeless or non-traditional UA students. “(Homelessness) is definitely a prev-

The start-up company of two Eller College of Management MBA graduates is thriving a little more than a year after their graduation. Freight technology company Post.Bid.Ship has been selected to participate in the Invest Southwest Capital Conference in November. The company was one of fourteen selected to pitch its plans to venture capitalists and potentially receive millions of dollars in investments. Former McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship students Jarret Hamstreet and Micky Thompson launched Post.Bid. Ship the day after they graduated in May 2010. Their company won the Best New Venture of 2010 award from the Eller College of Management that year. The company has thrived in its first year of operation, said Thompson, chief executive officer of the company. Connections and preparation from the Notable Eller College Eller College has led to its success, he said. of Management “That played probalumni start-ups ably the most critical -Notehall role,” Thompson said. Both Hamstreet and -Trisports.com Thompson had sev-uGallery eral years of business -The Cravory experience before -i love blue sea deciding to apply to Eller for their graduSource: McGuire Center for Entreprenuership ate degrees. Students are required to submit start-up company proposals the summer before entering the entrepreneurship program, which is where Post.Bid.Ship originated. Hamstreet’s family had experience in the trucking industry while Thompson went through the process of bidding on a truck to move his belongings when coming to Tucson. They came together to simplify the process. Post.Bid.Ship helps connect freight companies with companies in need of shipping. Post.Bid.Ship then receives a 1 percent commission on transactions, according to Thompson. Bringing technology to the industry is another focus of the company as a younger generation becomes involved in shipping, Thompson said. Post.Bid.Ship uses social media such as Facebook to facilitate bids. Opportunities through the Eller College allowed the team to present the idea to other students and faculty, Thompson said. Their feedback helped shape the company model. “We got to hone our investor presentation,” he said. Connections through the Eller College also helped launch Post.Bid.Ship from the investment side, said Hamstreet, chief operations officer of the company. The McClelland family, an Eller College donor, owns Shamrock Foods and agreed to be Post.Bid.Ship’s first customer. The success of the start-up is in part aided by the business experience Thompson and Hamstreet had before entering Eller, Hamstreet said. However, a large number of Eller best venture winners go on to create lasting companies, he said. “The track record is pretty good,” Hamstreet said. The two maintain their relationship with the UA by speaking to Eller students, Thompson said. He tries to promote entrepreneurship and give internship and career opportunities to students and recent graduates. Post.Bid.Ship will receive help from a group of in-state mentors before attending the investment conference. This will help the company as it prepares to pitch for funds. “That’s our goal,” Thompson said. “To just continue growing the company.”

The UA’s annual Meet Your Major Fair, sponsored by the Center for Exploratory Students, will be held in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom today from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The fair will introduce undergraduates to various majors, resources and opportunities on campus. The fair is not only directed toward undeclared students, but is open to undergraduates interested in adding a major or changing their current one, said Mika Galilee-Belfer, advising specialist in the Center for Exploratory Students. There will be representatives from almost every major on campus, as well as the Office of Study Abroad and Student Exchange and Career Services. Representatives include faculty, advisers and students, whom will be available to speak with undergraduates throughout the entire fair. As students arrive they will receive guidance as to what questions are most effective when approaching a

The Hill Society is trying to reach new heights as it marks its first year of being a club on the UA campus. The Hill Society was formed in the spring of 2010 in response to a traveling campus preacher by the name of George Edward Smock, commonly referred to as Brother Jed. Smock is typically known for speaking once a year in the Alumni Plaza at the UA and discussing social topics over the course of a few days. “There is a sense that there are people frequently here who are preaching,” said Rev. Lucas Mix, faculty advisor to The Hill Society. “It (the club) started because of the idea there would be a group where you could come and converse with people rather than hear what they had to say.” The purpose of the society is to help promote informal discussion and debates regarding all topics including philosophy, religion, political views and personal opinions. The club was officially recognized by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona in the fall of

One of our joking mottos is ‘discussion: ice-cold and refreshing.’” The society meets on Heritage Hill, a small patch of elevated grass and trees located in the Alumni Plaza in front of the Administration building

Israel Museum puts some Dead Sea Scrolls online videos and background information. The five scrolls that have been so far digitized include the Great Isaiah Scroll, the Community Rule Scroll, the Commentary on Habakkuk Scroll, the Temple Scroll and the War Scroll. The Great Isaiah Scroll, inscribed with the Book of Isaiah and dating from about 125 BC, is the only complete ancient copy of any biblical book in existence. The War Scroll dates to the late
first century BC or early first century AD and describes a confrontation between the “Sons of Light” and the “Sons of Darkness”, which would last 49 years, ending with the victory of the “Sons of Light” and the restoration of Temple practice according to their beliefs. The Temple Scroll, from the early first century AD, claims to provide the details of God’s instructions for the construction and operation of the
Saudi women able to vote MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
CAIRO — King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia surprised his ultraconservative nation Sunday by announcing bold reforms that for the first time give women the right to vote, run for local office and serve on the Shura Council, the king’s advisory board said. The measures by an aging monarch who has battled Islamic hardliners for years will marginally improve the standing of women in a country that still forbids them from driving or leaving the house without their faces covered. The moves appear likely to enrage religious conservatives while advancing at least a veneer of change in one of the world’s most repressive states. “Because we refuse to marginalize women in society in all roles that comply with sharia (Islamic law), we have decided … to involve women in the Shura Council as members, starting from the next term,” the king said in a five-minute speech to his advisers. He added: “Women will be able to run as candidates” in the 2015 municipal election “and will even have a right to vote.” The announcement suggests that the ailing 87-year-old king seeks a legacy as a reformer, despite making only modest inroads on human rights. Abdullah built the country’s first coeducational university and has granted 120,000 scholarships to students, many of them women, to study outside the country. Each move was opposed by clerics and religious ultraconservatives in the
royal family. Allowing women to vote is “hugely significant,” said Lubna Hussain, a Saudi writer. “The king is implementing the reform promises he made when he became leader. It shows he is not willing to pander to religious fundamentalists … who are quite weakened and don’t seem to have the voice they used to.” The new rights for women come as Saudi Arabia has bristled at demands for political freedoms that have spirited rebellions across the Arab world and toppled such longtime allies of the king as Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. When rumblings of revolt echoed in Saudi Arabia, the government, whose security forces are omnipresent, promised $130 billion in salary raises and spending for social and religious programs. Such largesse and attempts at modernization have kept Abdullah popular even while challenges to the royal family have been quickly crushed. Saudi dissidents and human rights groups have condemned the government for crackdowns that have occasionally damaged the king’s image and led to criticism that his family’s reliance on religious conservatives to stay in power makes him too cautious a reformer. The king is the counterbalance to influential anti-reformist forces, including Prince Nayif ibn Abdulaziz, the interior minister, who many believe may succeed Abdullah. Nayif is sympathetic to fundamentalist Wahhabi clerics who uphold the segregation of
sexes and have resisted the monarch’s attempts at modest reforms to ease religion’s grip on schools, courts and other institutions. Yet discriminatory laws, such as those preventing women from driving, have become an international embarrassment for the kingdom, a key U.S. ally that relies on oil wealth to expand its diplomatic stature. A number of women were arrested over the summer for defying the driving ban. Analysts predicted that by allowing women to vote the king has opened the possibility for wider rights debates. But others said the latest reforms were diversions that did little to change the plight of women in a country where they can be flogged for adultery and cannot travel abroad without the permission of a male guardian. “It’s a mixed feeling. On one hand he opens the door for her and on the other hand she is still banned from driving,” said Mohammad Fahad Qahtani, a college professor and human rights advocate. “It doesn’t save her from horrible treatment by government agencies and the courts. It’s a symbolic gesture but it is in no way enough to improve the lives of women.” He added: “These rights to vote are still, if you see how it’s worded, are contingent on Islamic jurisprudence. So we’ll have to see in coming years what happens. The devil could be in the details. But maybe it’ll get some international praise for the regime.”
Temple in Jerusalem. The Community Rule sheds light on the community’s way of life, dealing with subjects such as the admission of new members, conduct at communal meals, prayer, cleansing rituals and theological doctrines. The Commentary on Habakkuk interprets the first two chapters of the biblical book of the prophet Habakkuk. The scrolls, said Museum
Director James S. Snyder, “are of paramount importance among the touchstones of monotheistic world heritage, and they represent unique highlights of our Museum’s encyclopedic holdings.” The Dead Sea Scrolls were found between 1947 and 1956 in 11 caves at Qumran, on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, following a chance discovery by a Bedouin shepherd boy.

While the library isn’t intended to house the homeless or provide a bed for anyone, its exclusive policy does bring attention to the issue. “We tell them they can’t sleep on University (Boulevard) and Fourth (Avenue), we push them out of the parks, but we don’t provide them with enough shelters or provide them with incentives to participate in jobs programs,” said Michael Polakowski, associate professor in the School of Government and Public Policy. “I guess our perspective is if you keep pushing them (out) sooner or later they’ll get tired of being pushed.”

raduate school is no longer a viable option for the majority of people. One of the first reasons to choose graduate school is for “greater economic security,” according to a presentation by Maria Teresa Velez, associate dean of the Graduate College. That’s not true. It’s expensive and no longer a guarantee for a good job. Graduating from grad school doesn’t mean economic security. For the majority of undergraduates, it would mean economic ruin. At this point in time, graduate school only makes sense if a company or the government is willing to pay for your tuition. Many parents can barely afford to pay for the first four years of college, and most students will apply for or need some type of financial aid. Add graduate school and new student loans and students are graduating with mountains of debt. New policies were put into place to forgive certain student debt solely because it’s a growing and rampant problem in America. Students need to realize that spending more money than they have is not a smart idea. Hell, most Americans need to realize that. A bachelor’s degree is the modern high school diploma. It’s a necessity and without it, getting a decent job is next to impossible. But, a master’s is just superfluous. Two more years in school, thousands of dollars more and for what? A piece of paper that doesn’t guarantee you a job any more than a bachelor’s degree does. College graduates should spend that time focusing on finding a job and would be smart to spend their money on moving to a place where they can get hired. For the first time since 2003, the number of people who enrolled in graduate school has declined, according to data from the Council of Graduate Schools. “With this recession going on for so long, people who have a job are less likely to want to leave it to go back to school, because it’s not at all clear that there will be a job for them at the other end,” Debra W. Stewart, the council’s president, told The New York Times. Until the economy actually improves, not just the government saying it has, getting a bachelor’s degree, finding and keeping a job is far more important than getting a master’s degree. In Tucson, only around 22.9 percent of people 25 or older have a bachelor’s degree or higher, according to the 2010 US Census. This is less than in the rest of the state, where 23.5 percent of people have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Our focus should not be on getting people into graduate school, it should be on just getting students to graduate. Our focus should not be on whether or not graduate school is declining. Rather, our focus should be on freshmen retention and increasing the graduation rate of bachelor’s degrees. Let’s face it, graduate school is only for the elite, or those who can get others to pay for it. The UA should be focused on retaining the undergraduates it has, not trying to advertise its graduate program. — Michelle A. Monroe is journalism senior.

UN should stick to roots, silence hateful speech Joshua Segall Daily Wildcat
T
he United Nations was established by 51 countries on Oct. 24, 1945, at the end of the World War II. Its goal was to commit to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights. If in fact the U.N. believed in the missions and objectives it outlined and established, it would cease to allow pointless speakers such as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to continuously address the U.N. General Council year after year. Last week Ahmadinejad spoke before the United Nations 66th General Assembly. This year’s speech, the majority of which was posed as rhetorical questions, was no different from any of his previous speeches that have all received the same extreme criticism. In his speech, Ahmadinejad expressed his dissatisfaction with the global state as a whole. He made reference to what he calls “the mysterious September 11th attacks” and called them a reason for the United States to launch attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq. He criticized the United States for spending over $1 billion annually on the military, claiming that it was “more than the military budgets of all countries of the world combined.” In an Associated Press interview given shortly after his speech, Ahmadinejad said that, as an engineer, he’s sure that the twin towers were not brought down by jetliners. He said it would have been impossible for two jetliners to bring down the towers simply by hitting them and that some kind
of planned explosion must have taken place. Sept. 11 wasn’t the only issue he spoke of during his speech. He questioned the validity of the Holocaust and why the U.S. “viewed Zionism as a sacred notion and ideology, while endorsing and allowing sacrilege and insult against the beliefs of other religions.” He criticized the Zionists for more than 60 years of war through deceit and hypocrisy and again slighted
By allowing this hate speech to be conducted in its assemblies, the U.N. shows that it is not adhering to its founding ideals. the U.S. for its use of nuclear weapons during World War II. The big question in all of this is why the U.N. continuously gives Ahmadinejad a global forum in which to preach this rhetoric. His speeches have nothing to do with the missions and objectives outlined by the U.N., nor does it help promote any sense of world peace or prosperity. Ahmadinejad has demonstrated his ignorance to the reality of global events by continuously refusing to accept their validity. Perhaps the documentation of the concentration camps or video footage of the plane crashes isn’t enough for Ahmadinejad. He appears to be so brainwashed that he lacks all credibility
as an international foreign diplomat, let alone president of a country. This is not the first time Ahmadinejad has come out with bold and hateful statements. In 2005 he hosted the “World Without Zionism” conference, where he called for Israel to be wiped off the map. During this speech he was quoted as saying that “The establishment of the Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world,” and that “as the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map. The Islamic umma (community) will not allow its historic enemy to live in its heartland. Anyone who signs a treaty which recognizes the entity of Israel means he has signed the surrender of the Muslim world.” With his known history of extreme hatred, how can the U.N. allow Ahmadinejad to speak? By allowing this hate speech to be conducted in its assemblies, the U.N. shows that it is not adhering to its founding ideals. The U.N. should not allow open discourse from those who seek to paint others as historic enemies and call for a world without them. The U.N. should try to prevent persecution from occurring, not encouraging it through the toleration of such speeches by Ahmadinejad. Nobody should deny religious and cultural differences that separate the membering countries that make up the U.N. They should however remember the common neighboring bond that all countries are to share. Leaders like Ahmadinejad have no place on any stage in any country. The U.N. should put an end to his pointless, hateful and harmful speeches. It will ultimately help the U.N. get more in touch with its foundation. — Joshua Segall is a management information systems senior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Police Beat By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat
The smokers’ almost-escape University of Arizona Police Department officers were approached by a woman in a UA parking lot on Vine Avenue who reported she had seen a group of men smoking marijuana while sitting at a table at the east side of the lot around 10 p.m. on Friday. The officers went to the area and saw three men at a table. They could smell burned marijuana in the air. As the officers approached, the men began to walk away quickly. The officers shouted for them to stop. One of the men stopped and the other two ran away. The officers spoke to the man who stopped, who said he had been socializing with his friends who were smoking marijuana from a small, glass pipe. The man said he had intended to smoke as well, but did not because he saw the officers approaching. The officers warned the man about unlawful use of marijuana and a Code of Conduct form was forwarded to the Dean of Students. Officers caught up with one of the men who had fled in Posada San Pedro Residence Hall. Two residents noticed the man was in distress and let him into the building. The man told the officers he had taken a hit from the pipe, which was not his, and ran because he was scared. He said he did have a medical marijuana card from California, but heard it was a felony in Arizona. The man said he had also been drinking. The officers cited the man for possession of marijuana and minor in possession of alcohol in body. The officers were unable to contact the third man.
Tailgater ticketed A UAPD officer was on patrol near Cherry Avenue Parking Garage when the officer noticed a car closely following another car through the exit gate of the garage around 4 p.m. on Thursday. The officer stopped the car after it exited the garage and asked the driver if he knew why he was stopped. “Because I didn’t pay for parking and I followed that other car out of the garage,” the man said. The officer contacted Parking and Transportation Services and an enforcement agent responded to the garage. The man was cited for tailgating and a Code of Conduct form for theft of services was forwarded to the Dean of Students.
Sleepy in the stairwell UAPD officers responded to the Park Avenue Parking Garage in reference to a man sleeping in the southwest stairwell of the garage around 10:30 p.m. on Thursday. The officers woke the man, who said he was homeless and often sleeps in the garage even though he knows he is not supposed to do so. A records check of the man revealed he had four outstanding warrants from Tucson Police Department and that he had been warned for sleeping in the garage twice before. He had another trespass warning from UAPD for sleeping on the south side of Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall earlier in the year. The man acknowledged his previous warnings. The officers arrested the man for trespassing and the outstanding warrants. He was booked into Pima County Jail and given a six-month exclusionary order from the UA.

Q
What effect does alcohol use have on the likelihood that you will graduate from college?
A. you’ll be in cap and gown regalia on graduation day. Collecting data that links graduation and alcohol use is hard, and the available
It seems like a no-brainer that the more you drink, the less likely
research on this topic is slim. As it turns out, there are many reasons why students don’t make it to graduation, including the cost of college, academic struggles, balancing work and school, health issues, and family responsibilities.
A brief look at the facts is, well, sobering. Among all students who begin at four-year schools, only about 40% will receive a degree within 6 years. You heard that right: most students who start college will not leave with a degree. From educators to policymakers, there are a lot of people trying to figure out how to improve those numbers. Look around at the UA and you will see the range of services dedicated to this in departments as diverse as the Think Tank, Financial Aid, Campus Health, Student Advocates in the Dean of Students Office, the SALT Center, and just about any unit in Student Affairs. Although the definitive research on alcohol and its effect on graduation is still waiting to be written, let common sense be your guide. Plenty of research has shown that as alcohol consumption goes up, GPAs go down. For example, a national study of over 93,000 students from 197 colleges and universities found that students with an “A” GPA averaged about 4 drinks per week, “B” students downed around 6 drinks/week and “C” students had just under 8 drinks/week. “D” and “F” GPAs topped out around 10 drinks/week.1 Looking at these stats, it’s not hard to see how alcohol might impact an academic career – and a few drinks less may make all the difference. The take home message is that light or moderate alcohol use is not likely to affect your success in college and may even have benefits from a social perspective. Drink heavily, and you may be checking the “some college” box the next time you are filling out a job application. We all know graduating from college is hard. Why make it any harder? 1 Presley CA, Leichliter JS, Meilman PW. Alcohol and Drugs

Overheard on campus
Universities now urging freshmen to consider studying humanities
SAN JOSE, Calif. — On 21st-century American campuses, is there room for Shakespeare, Sartre and Sondheim? A declining number of students think so — a trend that worries leaders at many top universities, where engineers often outnumber humanists. Seeking to reignite interest in the liberal arts, Stanford University last week welcomed the Class of 2015 with a rich opening volley of literature, film and philosophy designed to elevate freshmen dreams beyond that cool job at Google. The 1,718 incoming students — nearly half of whom arrive intending to major in the sciences or engineering — heard acclaimed author and physician Abraham Verghese praise the meaning, and opportunities, of a liberal arts education. They’ll debate summer reading assignments and get a flier promoting an “Ethics and War” program, led by nuclear disarmament expert Scott Sagan. “We’re trying to break the idea that college

is just something to get through on your way to a career,” said philosophy professor Debra Satz, associate dean for Humanities and Arts. “It is a gift.” In the humanities’ heyday of the mid60s, more than 1 in 3 Stanford students majored in languages, literature, the arts, history, cultural studies, philosophy and religion. By 1995, only about 1 in 10 did — a figure that hasn’t budged much in a decade. Meanwhile, interest in engineering, math and computer science has climbed. This nationwide trend is echoed in five decades of data from UC-Berkeley, UC-Los Angeles and even from tweedy Ivy League schools like Harvard, Princeton, Brown and Yale. (San Jose State and Santa Clara University don’t have long-term data, but their humanities enrollment has stayed stable over the past decade.) At a Stanford appearance last year, Geoffrey Harpham, director of the National Humanities Center, argued that the

humanities must be reinvigorated and are critical to America’s future. “The genius of this country,” he said, “is a program of education for all its citizens.” But for students who came of age in the Great Recession, the siren song of science can be tough to resist. And as tuition rises, fewer seem willing to explore the existential question: How do I live a life of true meaning? “I don’t see a lot of risk-taking,” said Satz. “Very few students are enrolled in courses like 19th Century France, or The Literature of Revolution.” Economic anxiety is well-grounded, according to an analysis by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce. Over a lifetime, the earnings of workers who majored in engineering, computer science or business were up to 50 percent higher than the earnings of those who majored in the humanities, the arts, education and psychology.

Student talks Teddybears, Chronic Future Are you aware that there is actually a band called Teddybears? I was not. What kind of music do they play? Have you heard Chronic Future? It’s kind of like that. OK. Teddybears actually came out with an album recently, called Devil’s Music. Does that make you feel inclined to listen to it? Aaron Thompson Not really, no. Molecular and What if I told you it was like cellular biology Chronic Future, but it’s harder student rock, with rapping vocals with an electronic background? I’d be cool with the electronic.

What kind of electronic music is your favorite? … House? Are you a dubstep fan? Yeah, I guess so. What is your favorite dubstep sound? Personally, my favorite is the “WOMPWOMP” sound. Yeah, everybody likes the womps. I like the rhythmical base.

USC Trojans next weekend. A win at USC would get the Wildcats over that hump and start to get the wheels moving in the right direction. Wade’s strategy for moving on is simple. “We’ve just got to come out, hit somebody in the mouth and play Arizona football,� he said. “I feel like everybody’s being timid,� Wade added. “We wasn’t tackling (against Oregon). I saw our receivers weren’t catching balls. Those are the little things. Those are little. There’s nothing to fix about that. Receivers catch, we tackle. That’s all you got to do.� After USC, Arizona faces Oregon State, UCLA and Washington in three match-ups that critics will give the Wildcats a fighting chance. One thing’s for certain — for any

The senior outside hitter started playing volleyball when she was only 10 years old, and her mom was the primary influence for her early love of game and her current starting position. “She was outside hitter too, so it helped because she knew how it was,� Hanzlova said. Hanzel played volleyball in the Czech Republic as an outside hitter for 30 years and then continued her volleyball career by coaching for 10 years. Volleyball is not as big of a sport in her country, Hanzel said. She was surprised by how many fans came to watch the Wildcats play over the weekend.

the points on the board. “We have to be able to run the football, that’s pretty general,� Stoops said. “We’ve got to simplify the game for our players and let them play.� While the Wildcats’ rushing numbers are still low in comparison to their opposition so far this season, the efforts of Ka’Deem Carey and Keola Antolin are evident, as the Wildcats were able to stretch the run a little bit better against Oregon on Saturday. The duo combined for 103 yards on 25 carries, a not-too-shabby 4.1-yard per carry average. “We’ve got to get the run game going a little bit more, which I

chance at postseason play, the results at the end of October will have to be much better than they were at the end of September. The Wildcats now face a lighter schedule, and they expect to take advantage of it to secure some wins. “It’s not like it was here my first year, when it was hoping to get wins,� senior wide receiver David Roberts said. “We know when we step on the field if we play well we can play with anybody. We understand that.�
“The environment is really different. In Czech (Republic) only a few people come to the games,� Hanzel said through her daughter’s translation. “She was shocked about the game, how we have orchestra here.� As Hanzlova received volleyball lessons from her mom, she learned the importance of never giving up. “Fight — fight through every game and have fun,� Hanzlova said as her biggest volleyball lesson. But the pair’s relationship goes beyond the court. Hanzel hopes those psychological lessons will transfer into her daughter’s everyday life as well. “Get through everything, it’s easier because it’s hard to just go and do this everyday with school and everything,� Hanzlova translated for her mom. “It should help me get ready for life.�

For the Wildcats to have success, Littrell’s offense will have to match the Trojans’ beat for beat. The receivers will need to catch, Foles will have to be accurate, and the offensive line will have to make room for the running backs to move. “We need to win this game and try to make up some ground on our side of the division,� Stoops said. “We need to get off to a better start and certainly this would be a great way.�

West Nile Virus I N F O R M A T I O N A N D Basic Facts
F A C T S
• West Nile is a virus that mainly infects birds. • Mosquitoes that feed on infected birds, take in the virus. • Mosquitoes can transmit it to other animals and humans they bite later. • The virus is not passed on person to person. • Most people who are bitten by mosquitoes are not bitten by an infected mosquito. • Most people who are bitten by an infected mosquito do not get sick. • Most people who do get sick get a mild disease. • Very few people can develop severe disease. • Mosquitoes are prevalent in Tucson during summer and early fall.
Ultrathon™ Insect Repellent with DEET is available at the Campus Health Pharmacy.
Here are some things that you can do to reduce being bitten by a mosquito:
• Limit time outdoors from dusk until dawn. • Use mosquito repellents that contain DEET. • Wear lightweight, loose-fitting long sleeve shirts and pants whenever possible.
• Check the screening on your windows and doors.

Hoops forward Parrom headed back to Tucson By Kevin Zimmerman Daily Wildcat
Arizona forward Kevin Parrom was on his way back to Tucson Monday afternoon following a Saturday morning shooting that put the UA junior in the hospital in New York. “Flight To Phx … I thank the lord that im here,” Parrom tweeted around 4 p.m. Tucson time on Monday. Parrom was shot in the right leg Saturday after two men attacked him in his home, an unnamed New York Police Department spokesman told SNY.tv. Parrom was taken to Lincoln Hospital in stable condition. Friend and former Wildcat teammate Momo Jones, who is now playing at Iona, tweeted Sunday night, “Pray for my bro @kevinparrom3,
he’s a tough cookie spoke to him earlier he’s going to be OK!!! Trust and believe that!!! Love you kid!!” Minnesota Timberwolves forward Derrick Williams, the 2011 NBA Draft’s No. 2 pick, also tweeted at his former Arizona teammate. “ @ KevinParrom3 Kevin Parrom get healthy Lil Junior forward homie ! I know you good but stay safe bro. Get back soon them UofA bros need ya!” Parrom was in his native Bronx, New York, visiting his hospitalized mother.

Quarterback Nick Foles has shined despite the Wildcats’ 1-3 record. Oregon head coach Chip Kelly said he was glad the Arizona signalcaller is graduating following the Ducks’ 56-31 victory in Tucson on Saturday.
By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat
If there’s any silver lining to Arizona’s nightmarish start to the 2011 season, it’s quarterback Nick Foles. Despite a few crucial dropped passes, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound quarterback completed 34-of-57 passes for 398 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions against Oregon. He battled five sacks, constant pressure, a sore back and even completed a 12-yard pass to running back Keola Antolin left handed. “That kid’s a warrior,” said Oregon head coach Chip Kelly. “He’s as good of a quarterback as there is in the country. He’s tough, he’s smart, he’s accurate. He keeps plays alive. “I’m a huge Nick Foles fan,” Kelly added. “I’m glad we don’t have to face him anymore but he’s a special, special football player.” Foles has completed 70.5 percent of his balls, thrown for 361.8 yards per game, 10 touchdowns and, most impressively, zero interceptions. “I thought Nick again was spectacular,” said
UA head coach Mike Stoops. “He continues to be just a great player. I think his play speaks for itself. He gets a lot of respect from his competitors.” Even when it seems like Foles is having a quiet game, the box score says otherwise. He’s thrown for 398 yards or more in three of the four games this season and ranks fourth in the NCAA in passing yards and 14th in completion percentage. Of the top 30 quarterbacks in the country in terms of passing yards, Foles is the only quarterback yet to throw an interception. He’s been sacked 12 times, the seventh most of any quarterback in the country, yet he’s managed the game and given a struggling Arizona team some glimmer of hope. “I’m glad Nick Foles is graduating, I can tell you that,” Kelly said. “He’s a hell of a football player. You knew you weren’t going to keep him down the whole time and he was going to continue to make plays. “I really catch myself watching him sometimes and going ‘wow, that was impressive.’
Former Arizona swimmer Annie Chandler was recently announced as one of nine finalists for NCAA Woman of the Year. Chandler held a press conference yesterday at McKale Center to talk about the award, which will be presented on October 16 in Indianapolis. Three of the last four NCAA Women of the Annie Chandler Year (Justine Former swimmer Schluntz, Lacey Nymeyer and Whitney Myers) were Arizona swimmers, and that is a fact not lost on Chandler. “I know them all very well,” Chandler said. “I remember coming in my freshman year and just the name Whitney Myers, to have my name put beside hers, and any of (the former Arizona winners) is a privilege.” “They’re such well-rounded people and I’m just honored to be
amongst them.” Chandler made it a point to highlight the contributions her many coaches have made on her career, both past and present. She spoke at length about how much of an impact former UA coach and current Missouri head coach Greg Rhodenbaugh had on her career outlook. “He helped me keep swimming in a healthy perspective since he has such a balanced life,” said Chandler, citing the fact that Rhodenbaugh has eight kids as why he’s able to handle the stresses of swimming so well. “You know, if I had a rough race and was real upset about it, he would shrug his shoulders and say ‘good thing it’s just swimming.’” Now, Chandler is focused on preparing for the Pan American Games, taking place in Guadalajara, Mexico, from Oct. 14 through Oct. 30, and the Olympic trials coming up this summer. UA associate head coach Rick DeMont is coaching Chandler in preparation for her upcoming events, she said.
Hanzlova learns mother’s lessons By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
UA football’s identity crisis Wildcats trying to diversify offense to help passing game By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat
It’s tough to compete at a high level when a team’s identity is directly based on one player. Quarterback Nick Foles, by nature, is the figurehead of the Arizona Wildcats, and for good reason. He’s already thrown for 1447 yards and 10 touchdowns on the season, but the Wildcats know that he can’t be their entire offense. But by using him as their only source of identity, the Wildcats
have fallen into a 1-3 hole to start the season. Bottom line: they need to start diversifying their portfolio. Arizona head coach Mike Stoops has said that the process of forging a new offensive identity, one that utilizes the run game to complement the passing attack, is a difficult one. “(We’re) trying to get our tight ends and full backs to be good blockers,” Stoops said. “I think we’re improving. Obviously with the backs, you’ve got to give them opportunities. “These guys are good runners,” he added, “and we need to try and find a balance in our run game.”
The Wildcats have utilized a passing-dominated, air raid style of offense based on the Texas Tech offenses of the Mike Leach era. By being forced to run that style non-stop however, opposing defensive coverages only have to be onedimensional. “When you (are facing) a quarterback as good as Nick, what are going to do?” Stoops said. “Are you going to stop the run, or are you going to play two deep to stop the pass?” For the last three games, opposing defenses have dropped back and have been able to contain the Arizona passing game to minimize

Arizona senior Marketa Hanzlova learned many of her skills from her mother.
After months of separation and thousands of miles between them, volleyball senior Marketa Hanzlova was finally reunited with her mom. Lenka Hanzel traveled across the North Atlantic from the Czech Republic for Family Weekend to spend quality time with her daughter and to watch the Wildcats compete against Washington and Washington State last weekend. While the mother and daughter miss one another, Hanzel is happy for Hanzlova and her opportunity to play in the United States. “She really wanted me to go and experience it, but she misses me a lot,” Hanzlova said. When Hanzlova came to America from her native country, she initially went to North Idaho College before transferring to Arizona for the 2010 season. She also didn’t speak any English when she came to the states.

Now is time for Arizona to rebound By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat
September 2011 will not go down in history as a month for the Arizona football team to remember fondly. The Wildcats fell victim to the toughest opening schedule of any team in the Pac-12 Conference, and perhaps the country. Three top-10 opponents led to three straight losses for Arizona, punctuated by Saturday’s 56-31 victory for the Oregon Ducks against the Wildcats at Arizona Stadium. “You’ve got to play good to win any game,” head coach Mike Stoops said after the Oregon loss on Saturday. “It doesn’t matter if it’s NAU or it’s Washington, we can’t win any games
until we get better as a team.” No. 5 Oklahoma State, No. 6 Stanford, and No. 9 Oregon outscored the Wildcats 130-55 and managed to gain 1,677 yards of total offense over those three contests. The first few weeks of the season are typically preseason games of sorts, where the goal is to introduce new players to the college level and test out new schemes. Arizona only had a Sept. 3 opener against NAU to do that. To put it into perspective, the Wildcats fell 37-10 in Week 3 of the season to No. 6 Stanford while the California Golden Bears were busy destroying FCS opponent Presbyterian Blue Hose by a score of
63-12 at home. Stoops has mentioned time and time again that earning wins doesn’t depend upon whom his team plays, but how well the Wildcats play. But it’s not going to do any good for the Wildcats to dwell on their first month of play — it’s time to move on. For cornerback Trevin Wade, it’s a matter of the Wildcats being able to rebound quickly. “When you get over that hump, you get on a roll,” he said. “That’s what we’ve got to do.” Looking ahead doesn’t seem so daunting as the Wildcats will try and regain some confidence against the
