Outrage at arrest intensifies Regents to seek more funding

ONLINE BUZZ Comments from “Grad student arrested for chalk drawings,” Friday, Sept. 25

Steve: I don’t go to the University of Arizona, however I am a Tucson resident and This is absolutely the most ridiculous charge I have ever heard of being brought against an individual. The biggest question I have on this matter is the whether the police officer or whatever structure exists above him is capable of exercising judgment. This young man did nothing to merit arrest or any kind of scrutiny. I have served my country and this is the reason that I did, so a young man like this can speak his mind. If these charges are not dropped, I think greater pressure needs to be brought to bear on the system that allows this overzealous waste to occur.

By Will Ferguson Arizona Daily Wildcat

paranoid: Actually, the arrest of this mad chalker makes perfect sense … if you protest anything at the U of A, they WILL get you. Paul: Ridiculous. I can’t tell you the number of times, that, as an RA at Kaibab, I was ENCOURAGED to use chalk on the sidewalks to promote events, or communicate various university events. Clean up? We just waited for the next monsoon. Once again, UAPD has their priorities in all the wrong places. UA SUCKS: Typical UA BS at its best — way to go UAPD and waste more money. Meanwhile how many bikes were stolen, cars broken into, etc, etc, etc. Mall traffic and rain would have washed it away for free. Can you say IVORY TOWER????????? Stunned: an act of intimidation and a complete waste of resources. but more than anything, a massive exercise in negative publicity for the administration at the UA. i hope Shelton PUBLICALLY CONDEMNS the arrest as draconian and unnecessary. Rico: FABULOUS! why cant more people be arrested for this... ugly drawing on the pavement... student rallies... THERS NO NEED! this isn’t the 60’s

Student detained for chalk drawings finds support on campus By Hank Dean Stephenson Arizona Daily Wildcat Students upset by University of Arizona Police Department’s arrest of Jacob Miller, a 24-year-old graduate student who used sidewalk chalk to advertise a protest Thursday, have been speaking out on campus and online. On Facebook.com, a group called ‘Support Jacob Miller’ started Friday and had grown to 172 members by press time Sunday. The group’s founder, Tom Shea, is a biochemistry junior who decided to start the group after reading about Miller’s arrest in the Arizona Daily Wildcat. Shea, who doesn’t know Miller and couldn’t even find him on Facebook, said, “I was completely outraged by what I read in the article.” Shea is trying to organize an online petition and a protest on Miller’s court date. “(This arrest) can be compared to being arrested for playing hopscotch

or finger-painting …” he said. “The entire idea behind chalk as a medium is that it does no damage and is easily removed. It’s not something akin to spray paint or graffiti — it’s quite the opposite.” On the Daily Wildcat’s Web site, readers are also talking. Many were upset by the university’s initial claim that it cost $1,000 to clean the chalk from sidewalks and walls. UA officials have since backed off their initial estimate. Chris Kopach, associate director of facilities management said the actual figure is closer to $350. Kopach said $1,000 was the initial approximate estimate, before he knew the writing was in chalk. Anne Ranek, a graduate student and member of Arizona for Education, the group that organized Thursday’s protest, said she was excited by the amount of support Miller is getting from undergraduates who probably don’t know him. Dave Talenfeld, president of the

Graduate Professional Student Council, told the Wildcat the arrest was “very silly.” Talenfeld said the anonymous faculty member who reported the chalk probably had a problem with the content, not the medium, of the message. “I would not be surprised to learn that political considerations were involved,” he said. UAPD spokesman Sgt. Juan Alvarez said he hasn’t received any comments about the case and declined to comment on the ongoing investigation. Miller, at his lawyer’s request, declined to comment on the matter any further. His lawyer, Cornelia Honchar, said she found it surprising that a student would be charged with criminal damage, because the crime “seems so banal.” “He’s also charged with disrupting the operations of a university,” she said. “So we’ll see how a campus of 35,000 or 40,000 was interrupted by Jacob Miller drawing something on the student union sidewalk.”

Artist takes poetic license to the sidewalks By Hank Dean Stephenson Arizona Daily Wildcat

cratching chalk against a UA wall, an anonymous poet leaves his signature, “Francis the Poet.” The poem above his signature, “The Poet,” is the first of his own poetry chalked at the UA. But, his signature also sits below the names of famous poets at more than 30 locations around campus. Students, faculty and police walk past or on top of his chalk every day, but few know his real identity. Francis the Poet, as the Daily Wildcat agreed to call him after the University of Arizona Police Department arrested a graduate student for writing in chalk at a protest Thursday, started writing poems on campus property at the beginning of the semester.

Francis says he wants to spread his love of poetry and make people stop and think. “I pick a lot of (poems) that are neutral or light in my topics because I don’t want to start a fight,” he said Thursday night in an interview with the Daily Wildcat. “I just want to start people thinking.” He dresses in black and works at night. He often chalks poems by Gary Schneider, e. e. cummings, Jack Gilbert, William Blake and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Francis is a senior in the creative writing department. “At first I was going to try to be totally anonymous,” he said. “It’s not possible, there are people on campus all hours of the day. So I kind of gave up on being totally FRANCIS, page 8

The Arizona Board of Regents said an additional $459.1 million is needed to fill the holes in the Arizona university system’s 2011 budget. The regents also discussed the implications of a new gun law that will allow firearms to be brought on to university property at their Sept. 23-24 meeting in Flagstaff, Ariz. The three presidents of Arizona’s public universities said the funding request currently included in the fiscal year 2011 operating budget is insufficient to maintain high academic standards. Originally, the fiscal year 2011 budget called for a $136.4 million increase over the fiscal year 2010 state operating budget. After discussing the numbers in a private session, ABOR came up with a new figure it says realistically represents the needs of the Arizona public university system. “The message that we heard loud and clear this morning is that we owe it to ourselves to fully express university needs,” ABOR vice president Fred REGENTS, page 10

Trolley must scale back By Austin Counts Arizona Daily Wildcat It’s been two years since Old Pueblo Trolley Inc. announced plans to extend its current route into downtown Tucson as a part of the Fourth Avenue Underpass reconstruction. As trolley rails and overhead wires lined downtown streets, it seemed that service to the area would finally become a reality when the underpass reopened on Aug. 20, 2009. But after only two weeks, Old Pueblo Trolley scaled back service to downtown due to a lack of funding and volunteers, said Dick Guthrie, president of Old Pueblo Trolley Inc. “We are getting little help in the way of funding from businesses south of the Fourth Avenue Underpass,” Guthrie said. “It’s time they pony up for the historic trolley.” Maintenance and operation costs have reached a new high while only one of the two cars at Old Pueblo Trolley’s car depot is equipped to service downtown. However, that car needs additional operators to maintain the original goal of providing regular transportation to the area. Guthrie said these problems could be solved by more financial support from downtown businesses, much TROLLEY, page 12

Day of Discovery showcases cancer innovations, technology By Angel Allen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Cancer experts addressed the need to develop individualized cancer treatments Saturday at the Arizona Cancer Center’s Day of Discovery. Genetic differences between individuals make it imperative to tailor cancer treatments to each patient, UA research professor Dr. Steven Stratton said at the event. “Our goals are things that don’t exist yet,” Stratton said. “We hope that eventually 100% of a population will respond to a drug tailored in a way that treats each person’s problem individually. We are really working toward this.” The Day of Discovery, a free event open to the public, aimed to highlight research being done at the Cancer Center and to provide the general public with an opportunity to learn about the latest advances in cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, said Ilya Sloan, coordinator of outreach and education at the Cancer Center. Amanda Baker, a molecular pharmacologist, spoke about the center’s new efforts to fight cancer. There are four main ways in which cancer can be combated, she said: surgery, radiation, drug therapy and supportive care, which involves monitoring a patient’s pain and nutrition intake. Baker said that due to advances in these fields, a cancer prognosis is no longer necessarily a death sentence, adding that treatment is increasingly an outpatient procedure dependant on oral medications. “Cancer is becoming a more chronic disease than a terminal one,” she said. Stratton said the three main goals of

individualized medicine are to identify the genetic differences that affect drug responses, develop genetic tests to predict individual responses and tailor medications to the individual. Other experts discussed the health benefits of vitamin D intake and new techniques for fighting breast cancer. According to Rachel Swart, Ph.D., M.D. in the hematology department and breast cancer researcher, despite a 30 percent decrease in breast cancer mortality in recent years due to expanded use of mammography, this procedure, considered the best technique for breast cancer diagnosis, can’t detect cancer until a late stage that leaves little time for treatment.

Swart cited the process of monitoring circulating tumor cells as an important innovation in the early detection of cancer. CTCs are cells that tumors send out into the blood stream, seeking new places to attach and spread the cancer. “We hope to eventually discover cancer before we get imaging studies,”Swart said. “This can result in early diagnosis and individualized target therapy.” Biochemistry sophomore Aubri Carman said the event gave her a chance to learn about what goes on behind the scenes at the Cancer Center. “I knew the Arizona Cancer Center was here,” she said, “but I didn’t know all the labs are working on such things for cancer patients.”

DRACHMAN STREET

By Michelle Cohen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Drachman Street is named after the Drachmans, a family who largely contributed to the development of Tucson. The Drachman family name can be seen all over Tucson, from streets and parks to UA centers, such as the Drachman Institute, a facility for land and regional development studies and the Roy P. Drachman Center for Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at the Arizona Health Sciences Center. Roy P. Drachman, a native Tucsonan, ran movie houses in Tucson for Fox West Coast Theatres before serving in World War II. After serving in the war, Drachman borrowed $5,000 from a friend to buy a hotel with his cousin Oliver. They sold the hotel for a profit of about $30,000 and decided to invest the money in Tucson real estate. In his personal memoirs, Drachman said they “hit the market just at the right time and made a handsome profit on everything.” From then on he became very involved in shaping Tucson real estate and business.

Pass/Fail

The Arizona Daily Wildcat’s verdict on this week’s most pressing issues. Chalk drawing a no-no on UA campus

If you have young children who enjoy drawing with chalk, keep them away from the UA campus. They may get arrested for “criminal damage and disturbing an educational institution.” At least that was the case for graduate student Jacob Miller, who was arrested on campus Thursday for drawing pictures and messages in chalk all over campus as part of the Arizona for Education rally. Maintenance was able to wash away most of the drawings before the start of the rally, yet Miller was charged on two counts of class one misdemeanor, each carrying a maximum penalty of six months in jail and $2,500, plus possible restitution charges for the cleanup, University of Arizona Police Department spokesman Juan Alvarez told the Arizona Daily Wildcat. We understand that maintenance had to clean the chalk, but Miller suffered extreme consequences for his innocuous actions. His punishment strikes us as selective, and we’re troubled that the UA would have a kind of selection on punishments. Where was UAPD when Francis the Poet wrote his musings all over campus? Why would the UA choose enforcement for certain situations but not others? It seems that the UA based Miller’s punishment on his act, which was in protest of the UA’s budget cuts and the Transformation, leading us to conclude that the UA is more likely to penalize someone solely on the basis of dissent. For issuing unfair, selective punishment, the UA gets a fail.

President Shelton, Provost Hay explain budget cut decision making in guest column

“Across-the-board cuts would have assured a future of mediocrity and simply would have been the wrong choice,” Provost Hay and President Shelton wrote in their guest column in Thursday’s Arizona Daily Star. In the article, Hay and Shelton listed the “three key principles” they use to determine their budget decisions. The third principle is based upon the question, “Which units will most likely have a positive economic impact on the state, with an emphasis on job creation and growth?” Does this mean the UA will cut programs that don’t necessarily lend themselves to job growth? Of course it’s important for the UA to do everything within its power to stimulate the economy, but there will always be programs that emphasize personal fulfillment and creativity before job growth, and they shouldn’t be viewed as the obvious cuts. After laying out the 19 different groups they’ve listened to and taken into consideration regarding the budget crisis, Hay and Shelton seem to be taking a stab at those in cloaked opposition and the UA Defender blog in one short paragraph, “Now more than ever is the time for the people of Arizona to make their voices heard — not in the dark corners of anonymous blogs, but loudly and clearly and publicly in the corridors of our state Capitol.” Cheers to Hay and Shelton for starting another form of discussion with the public. The Wildcat welcomes a public announcement from them as well, but for coming across as unnecessarily snarky and defensive in a Daily Star guest column, they get an incomplete.

Students, faculty engage in peaceful rally

It was good to see students and faculty joining together in peaceful protest. Miller gets a pass for getting the attention of UA officials and sparking awareness about the issue, even though he is suffering disproportionate consequences for his actions. The professors who may have put their jobs on the line to speak out against the UA Transformation and budget cuts get a pass for standing up for their beliefs and for the greater good of the UA.

Actress Mackenzie Phillips details molestation from celebrity father in memoir

In her new book “High on Arrival,” actress and singer Mackenzie Phillips confesses what most would consider one of the most horrifying secrets imaginable: “I slept with my dad.” “On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it. I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed … I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father.” What first started out as an act of molestation gradually became a consensual sexual relationship. The two finally ended their sexual relations when 29-year-old Phillips became pregnant and was unsure if the baby belonged to her father or her then-boyfriend. Phillips is the daughter of the late John Phillips, founder and lead singer of The Mamas and the Papas. Even though some of Mackenzie Phillips’ sisters are denying the allegations, with Bijou Phillips going so far as to say, “The man that raised me would never be capable of doing such things,” Mackenzie has still opened up a dialogue on a very uncomfortable, taboo subject that affects families all over the world. Phillips told the “Today Show” that her “universal” story has reached out to other incest victims who are finally gaining the courage to talk about what happened to them. Though some have questioned the credibility of Phillips’ memory, which may be inaccurate due to drug abuse, we give her a pass for breaking her silence and giving incest victims some solidarity.

‘Separate but equal’ an unacceptable solution

I’d like to say that Anna Swenson wrote a very well articulated article (“Separate not equal: right to the altar needs altering,” Sept. 25), which is often unheard of lately. In my opinion, the standards in certain publications have fallen significantly. As a fellow English major, I can assume you know how irritating that is. In any case, the points you made were more than valid. One of the most striking sentences you wrote was, “Which begs the question: if marriage and civil unions are truly equal, why must they be separate at all?” That cuts to the heart of the matter (once we’ve gotten to the point where civil unions are accepted).

I don’t understand why President Obama, who himself should be ultra-aware of discrimination issues, is allowing this “separate but equal” thought process to continue. I love the phrase “separate institutions are inherently unequal.” It is so true, and relates so completely to the fight for equality for gay rights. As a femme lesbian, I cannot tell you how many times I have had to correct people when they ask what my husband does, or ask about my “roommate.” It is especially important to me that the United States recognize gay marriage so that my own parents will have to finally accept that I’m not going through some phase, and that I will be legally bound to my girlfriend, whether they like it or not. In fact, I already am, but they don’t know it, and

won’t, unless the matter of power of attorney somehow comes into play in my health care. The last sentence in your article is what really made me write to you, though. “Until ‘homophobe’ conjures up the same apologetic fervor as ‘racist,’ logical and empathetic Americans must realize that separate can never be equal, and that the fight for civil rights for all Americans is never really over.” You are so right, and I can only wonder when that moment will be. Unfortunately, I don’t see it happening for another few decades, at least. It breaks my heart. Julia Forrester Macomb, Ill.

SOUNDBITES The New York Times Magazine published a cover story Wednesday about an apparent increase in middle school students coming out as homosexual. Four Daily Wildcat columnists muse on the validity of these feelings and whether the coming-out surge is a positive or negative change. Young people coming out could cause discomfort

Preteens too young to understand their sexuality

James Carpenter

Anne Swenson

columnist

Since the middle school years are about as close as most Americans come to personal hell, the big question is what’s going to happen to these kids in relation to the adolescent culture they’re basically defying — everyone gets called“gay”in middle school, not usually met with a“Yeah, I know.”If we start having gay-oriented middle school dances, is this going to become standard practice as more kids come out of the closet? Are we going to separate them from the straight dances or integrate them, despite the inevitable opposition from some parents? The thing is, as this becomes more common, gay and straight middle school kids are going to have to coexist peacefully, no matter how cruel middle school is. — James Carpenter is a creative writing senior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Some adolescents know they’re gay quite early

It’s great that teens with same-sex attraction feel society is accepting enough for them to come out at a younger age than they might have in the past. But how much of this is a result of knowing oneself to a greater degree, a way in which older men and women describe the coming out process, and how much of it is a result of the hormonal upheaval that all middle school students experience? As the young teen profiled in the New York Times Magazine article said,“Half the girls I know are bisexual.”But no one really knows who they are in middle school. It cheapens the almost spiritually introspective process most older gay and lesbian men and women describe. These kids who come out before they can even possibly comprehend what sex and sexuality mean can neither spell nor define“introspective.” — Anna Swenson is a sophomore majoring in English. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Age unimportant when coming out of the closet

Laura Donovan

Dunja Nedic

columnist

Augusten Burroughs mentions in his memoir “Running with Scissors” that he always knew he was gay, even in childhood. Some can argue that junior high school students are too young have a grasp on sexual preference, but there are definitely cases of people knowing their sexuality from the moment they develop a personality. I don’t question the validity of all middle school students’ homosexuality claims, and the increase in this type of confession reflects well on society. — Laura Donovan is the opinions editor. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

As a teen, I was bombarded with messages that confusion about our sexuality was a normal phase. And yet, the only confusion I remember anyone experiencing was how to come out to a society that assumes sexual confusion is a phase. We would never suggest that those who identify themselves as heterosexual should try having sex with members of the same gender before they can lay claim to any camp on the spectrum of sexual orientation. However, this is the well-meaning suggestion often presented to teens who come out. The issue is not so much when they reveal their homosexuality, but rather figuring out a way to minimize — or even, dare I say, eliminate — the negative response they often encounter. — Dunja Nedic is an Australian exchange student.

Police stop truck filled with people, alcohol, kitchen knife

University of Arizona Police Department officers were on patrol on Speedway Boulevard at Cherry Avenue on Sept. 19 at 11:50 p.m. when they observed a Chevrolet pickup truck in Lot 2025 filled with too many passengers. Officers pulled into the parking lot and observed six to eight people in the bed of the truck and another five or more people inside the passenger compartment. Officers made contact with the driver and detected the strong odor of intoxicants coming from the vehicle. The driver claimed that he had not been drinking that evening and a breath test confirmed his story. Officers observed a trashcan in the bed of the truck that had been placed on its side and was leaking liquid onto the street. Officers questioned the driver about the trashcan, but he claimed to know nothing about it. Inside the vehicle, officers found several open containers of alcohol and a 10-inch kitchen knife that no occupant was willing to claim. Police issued a total of six citations for minor in possession and one citation for failure to wear a safety belt. All of the subjects were released on scene and the incident has been referred to the Dean of Students office.

Underage pair takes a stroll, receives MIP citations

UAPD officers were on patrol in the area of Mountain Avenue and Lee Street on Sept. 20 at 2:40 a.m. when they observed a man and a woman walking along the street carrying a bottle of liquor. As officers approached the pair, the man attempted to leave the bottle on the ground. Officers made contact with the pair and were able to locate the bottle. According to the man, he was escorting the woman back to her sorority house and was transporting the bottle at the request of one of his friends. The man refused a preliminary breath test, but admitted to drinking that evening. The woman was administered a breath test, which revealed that she had been drinking. Both subjects were cited on charges of minor in possession and were released on scene.

Intoxicated woman draws small crowd

UAPD officers were on patrol in Tyndall parking garage on Sept. 20 at 3:10 a.m. when they observed a female lying on the ground and being attended to by approximately four people. When officers approached the group, they noticed the female on the ground appeared to be extremely intoxicated and unaware of her surroundings. One of the people attending to the woman claimed to be the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roommate. She told police that the group was attempting to help the woman get back to her dorm room, and then admitted to drinking two cups of beer that night. The Tucson Fire Department arrived on scene to evaluate the intoxicated womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical condition. Officers cited both women on charges of minor in possession and after being cleared by medical personnel, both women were released and were transported by police to their residence hall.

Liquor bottle used to vandalize vehicle

UAPD officers were on patrol in the area of Seventh Street and Fremont Avenue on Sept. 20 at 9:40 a.m. when they observed a Nissan SUV with a broken rear window. Officers knocked on the door of the residence that the vehicle was parked in front of and made contact with a man who claimed to be the owner of the damaged vehicle. According to the owner, he had parked his vehicle at 11:15 p.m. and had been unaware of the damage until police knocked on his door. Inside the vehicle, police found a 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor that was apparently used to break the window. The owner told police he wished to be notified of any judicial proceedings regarding the matter and he was issued a Victims Rights form. Police have no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Multiple vehicle break-ins reported in same garage

UAPD officers were dispatched to the Second Street parking garage on Sept. 20 at 2:16 p.m. in reference to a report of a vehicle break-in.

Football Commentary

Team trumps the Trojans only to fall to the Bruins for their first loss of the year By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona volleyball suffered its first loss of the season this weekend after remaining perfect through the non-conference schedule and the first game of the Pacific 10 Conference. After winning their first conference match of the season against No. 13 USC on Friday, the No. 19 Wildcats (12-1) lost to No. 14 UCLA. The Wildcats now stand at an even 1-1 in both conference play and against ranked teams this year. Against the Bruins on Saturday, Arizona took the first set of the match with a score of 25-22. That would be the only set that Arizona would win, however, as the Wildcats dropped the next three consecutive sets. The last play of the second set was contested by head coach Dave Rubio, as there was a ruling discrepancy between the line judge and the head referee. Rubio received a red card, and the referees awarded UCLA (11-4, 1-1) a point at the beginning of the third set. Although the scores were close in the last three sets of the match, Arizona was unable to get anything going on the attack. “I think we never really came together as a group,” said junior outside hitter Tiffany Owens about the Wildcats’ struggles. “We couldn’t pass to save our lives.” Arizona’s loss was due in large part to its dismal attacking percentage of just .101. Owens had a team-high 12 kills for Arizona, but could not match the game high of 20 by UCLA junior Dicey McGraw. “I think we learned all kinds of things from this match,” junior setter Paige Weber said of Arizona’s learning curve. The Wildcats’ struggles stemmed from playing behind for much of the third and fourth sets. Although they battled back, they could never establish an effective offensive attack. “We didn’t execute well,” Rubio said. “I tell the girls all the time that the team that is going to win is the team that executes the best. We didn’t execute well at all after the first set.” The Wildcats defeated No. 13 USC in four sets Friday night. Arizona struck early against the Trojans, taking the first and second sets before dropping the third. The Women of Troy (12-2, 1-1 Pac-10) would take the third set before finally falling in the fourth. Arizona was able to find attacking points all over the court. Three players recorded doubledigit kills. Senior middle blocker Jacy Norton had 11 kills for the Wildcats while Owens recorded 16 and sophomore middle blocker Courtney Karst had 10. Weber also ran up the stat sheet, recording 46 assists in the match against USC. Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat The Wildcats continue Pac-10 play next week- Sophomore outside hitter Dana Hutchinson reacts after diving for the ball during Saturday’s loss against the No. 14 UCLA Bruins. The end at Washington and Washington State. Wildcats jumped out by winning the first set 25-22, but the Bruins came back and won the next three sets.

Soccer slips in California against Cal Poly

Renae Cuellar

Tim Glass/Arizona Daily Wildcat

By Vincent Balistreri Arizona Daily Wildcat After achieving a much-needed 2-1 victory on Friday night against the University of California at Santa Barbara, the Arizona soccer team took a step backward Sunday after a lackluster performance against Cal Poly ended in a 3-0 loss. In a game where the Wildcats were supposed to build upon their Friday night win, they instead reverted back to their old ways. “This was definitely a step backward. We felt good about what we did Friday, but we just didn’t play up to our capabilities today,” said Arizona head coach Dan Tobias. “We’re all disappointed with this game, but all we can do is put this game behind us; that’s 90 minutes we can’t get back.” Arizona, which fell to 3-6-1, struggled from the onset as they allowed Cal Poly to connect early in the first half on a goal by Mustang forward Tiffany Gummow in the fifth minute. Cal Poly

again scored in the 25th minute with a header by Julianne Grinstead off a corner kick. The Wildcats outshot the Mustangs 7-to-3 in the first half but were unable to convert on scoring opportunities. As a result, they trailed 2-0 at halftime. “I thought we had a lot of chances to score but we made a few errors and they turned those errors into goals for them,” Tobias said. “We had possession of the ball throughout the game but we just didn’t tuck away any chances.” The Mustangs had just upset No. 7 California 1-0 in overtime on Friday night and carried the momentum from that game against the Wildcats on Sunday. “They just took it to us,” forward Renae Cuellar said. “They were fired up after beating California on Friday and I think we came in taking them a little too lightly.” In the second half, nothing changed for the Wildcats. They continued to outshoot the Mustangs 9-to-6, but their scoring struggles continued.

Arizona’s best chance to score came when Cal Poly committed a foul just outside the penalty box. A free kick taken by Arizona midfielder Leila Amini missed wide right. “I don’t think we’re creating enough opportunities to put ourselves in position to score,” Cuellar said. “We should be able to create twice as many chances to score and be able to put them away as well.” Despite the loss on Sunday, the Wildcats were able to come up with one positive over the weekend. Led by sophomores Cuellar and Jessica Culver, Arizona’s win over UCSB gave Culver the first goal of her college career. Arizona now turns its attention on its final non-conference game against Loyola Marymount University on Friday at Mulcahy Stadium in Tucson. “We need to forget about this and be ready for a good training session on Tuesday,” Tobias said. “We haven’t played our best 90 minutes yet this season, but we expect to play our best against Loyola Marymount on Friday.”

TriCats set pace for solid season By Tyler Kurbat Arizona Daily Wildcat University of Arizona TriCat members Cameron Green and Michael Shufeldt competed in the ITU Duathlon World Championships Saturday in Concord, N.C., at NASCAR’s Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Green satisfied his goal of finishing the race in less than two hours as he placed 41st overall with a finishing time of 1:51:12. Shufeldt took 370th place out of the 577 total competitors in the pair’s age group and completed the event in 2:18:08.

The best of the weekend's athletic performances

Green and Shufeldt represented team USA and were the only two participants from Tucson. In all, there were 14 athletes from the state of Arizona represented in the weekend’s international competition. Green finished with the second-fastest time for an Arizonan; his teammate Shufeldt finished with the seventh fastest of the 14. Meanwhile, TriCats president Matt Ward and the remaining company took to Elephant Butte, N.M., for the Elephant Man Triathlon on Sunday. “We finished first overall in the Mountain Collegiate Triathlon Conference, beating teams like the Air Force Academy and New Mexico State,”Ward said.

FOOTBALL

The race included a one-mile swim, 26-mile bike and six-mile run. The competition awarded individuals on the podium, naming TriCats Neil Segel and Chris Green second and third place, respectively, on the men’s side. Ward said he was very impressed with the TriCats’ performance as the team members showed poise on the technical hills and bike course’s turns. Besides training and skill, the New Mexico weather was a big factor in the TriCat victory. “It was like the mid-70s by the time we finished the race,”Ward said.“Having trained in the Tucson heat, racing somewhere cooler, it was like no big deal.”

Problem solved Tim Kosch

sports writer College football is a funny game. For three weeks, Arizona’s completely inept passing game was like a Chevrolet Caprice. But in week four, with a brand new quarterback making his first career start without his starting tight end, slot receiver or his top two running backs, the Wildcats traded in that Caprice for a brand new Corvette. Citizens of Tucson and students at the University of Arizona, please rise and give a deserving welcome to quarterback Nick Foles. Foles, a transfer from Michigan State, was nothing short of excellent in his first college career start, completing 25-for-34 passes for 254 yards with three touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. But what was really impressive was his composure. The redshirt sophomore ran the offense as if he was a four-year starter, calling several audibles at the line, and never showing any sign of panic despite a raucous crowd in Corvallis, Ore., and a relentless Beaver defense. He was sharp on all of his throws, whether it was a quick screen or one of the many beautiful fades and deep balls that he released with ease. Rather than immediately tucking and running in the face of a defensive rush, a la previous starter Matt Scott, Foles calmly shifted his feet to the side to buy himself an extra second to continue looking downfield. His footwork and awareness gave him the opportunity to succeed when he did have to scramble, directing receivers with his left hand as he ran and waiting until the last possible second on several occasions to find the open receiver. Arizona’s future now looks a lot rosier. The quarterback controversy that has stolen headlines in Tucson since last spring is no more — Nick Foles is and should be the starter from here on out. The injuries to tight end Rob Gronkowski, receiver William “Bug” Wright and running back Nic Grigsby allowed players like receiver David Roberts, tight end A.J. Simmons and running back Greg Nwoko to step up and add even more depth to an already strong Wildcat roster. And strongly benefitting the Wildcats were the other wild scores across the college football world Saturday. First, California and Washington — formerly ranked No. 6 and No. 24, respectively — lost conference games and now appear extremely vulnerable. Then Iowa, the same team that handed Arizona its only loss of the season in devastating and frustrating fashion, manhandled No. 5 Penn State in Happy Valley, Pa. Suddenly, that loss to the Hawkeyes doesn’t seem so devastating after all, and Arizona’s strength of schedule just went through the roof. Saturday’s trip to Oregon State was a turning point in Arizona’s season. The Beavers and the Wildcats were at a crossroad. A win could keep the season alive while a loss would not only damage their records, but also raise more questions about whether or not they could compete for bowl berths. Arizona answered the call, separating itself from a Pacific 10 Conference contender and changing the theme surrounding the team from panic to promise. The Pac-10 is wide open right now, and after a 1-0 start, the Wildcats are right in the thick of it.

Arizona Daily Wildcat Pac-10 power rankings ing to Boise State and suspending LeGarrette Blount for the season, things looked bleak for the Ducks, but they are very much in the picture after blasting Cal this past weekend.

The 2009 Pacific 10 Conference is like, well… nothing we’ve ever seen before. Southern California, Oregon and California were all considered the best of the conference before the season, but only four weeks in, each team has lost a game. Washington was nationally ranked. Stanford is 2-0 and in first place. It’s been a wild year so far. The standings might read a certain way today, but they aren’t necessarily indicative of which teams are the best. Here’s how the Daily Wildcat feels the teams’ stack up after week four:

3. Stanford (3-1, 2-0 Pac-10)

of USC might be looking more and more like a miracle upset and a coach outsmarting his former team. That being said, they deserve the high rating for their noticeable turnaround from last year.

8. Arizona State (2-1, 0-0 Pac-10)

The Bruins are the only team in the conference without a loss, but they’re in the middle of the rankings right now because they haven’t played a conference game yet. This team has tremendous upside and could very possibly make a run for the Rose Bowl.

9. Oregon State (2-2, 0-1 Pac-10)

Nobody saw this early success coming and nobody knows for sure if it’s legitimate, but a 2-0 record to start the conference season can’t be ignored. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has his team playing hard and his fellow coaches are taking notice.

6. UCLA (3-0, 0-0 Pac-10)

They still haven’t reached their potential and have struggled through injuries, but they are still by far the most talented team in the conference. It’s only a matter of time until the offense gets in sync and starts rolling.

Yikes. The Golden Bears entered Saturday as the No. 6 team in the nation, but they left Saturday with their tails between their legs. Jahvid Best might be the best running back in the country, but the rest of his team has some serious questions to answer.

7. Arizona (3-1, 1-0 Pac-10)

What a difference a week can make. After los-

After losing to Stanford, Washington’s upset

4. Cal (3-1, 0-1 Pac-10)

1. USC (3-1, 1-1 Pac-10)

5. Washington (2-2, 1-1 Pac-10)

2. Oregon (3-1, 1-0 Pac-10)

Like UCLA, the Sun Devils haven’t played a conference game yet so it’s hard to judge. They were impressive in a loss to No. 7 Georgia, but other than that, they’ve had a pretty easy schedule. We’ll see in a few weeks. Everybody knows about Jacquizz and James Rodgers, but no one else really stands out — and for good reason. This is a rebuilding year for the Beavers.

10. Washington State (1-3, 0-2 Pac10)

A No. 7 ranking seems low, but the difference between No. 1 and No. 9 is negligible. The Wildcats are decimated by injuries and have struggled throwing the ball, but if quarterback Nick Foles and the rest of the ‘O’ continue to play the way they did against Oregon State then “Air Zona” is destined to take off.

The only thing for sure about the Pac-10 this season is that the Cougars will finish 10th. But they won a game already, so that’s a start. — Compiled by Tim Kosch

Weekend Roundup UA women’s golf finishes tenth in season opener

Despite a career performance from sophomore Margarita Ramos, the UA women’s golf team finished 10th at the Mason Rudolph Championships this weekend in Franklin, Tenn. The team carded a respectable 576 even par, but the inconsistency throughout the lineup was too much for the team to overcome. Although the results of the tournament left much to be desired, head coach Shelly Haywood’s team certainly had some bright spots. Junior Alejandra Llaneza played well the first day, carding a 72 even par and finishing the event at 1-over-par 145. While Llaneza was solid, it was fellow sophomores Ramos and Isabelle Boineau

who carried the team. At the end of the first round Ramos and Boineau were tied for fourth after both carding career-high 68s. Boineau fizzled out with a final-round 75 (3-over-par), but Ramos continued her superb play to the tune of 69 (3-under-par). Ramos’ 137 (7-over-par) was good enough for fifth place in the tournament, her first career top-five finish. Although the Mexico City native only had one top-20 finish as a freshman last season, her success did not come as a surprise. Ramos spent the majority of the summer competing in Europe and most recently finished 24th at the Ladies’ British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship in Scotland.

Two days prior, the Wildcats lost four of four doubles matches to host Pepperdine while taking three of eight matches in singles. Jay Goldman highlighted Friday’s games for Arizona, beating Fresno State’s Mirko Zapletal 7-5, 4-6 and 7-6. — Arizona Daily Wildcat

wood’s squad fell out of contention early on. The tournament was cut to 36 holes due to weather conditions, leaving the ‘Cats little time to make up ground. The most disappointing round of the tournament came from highly touted freshman Kyndall Ardoin. In her UA debut, Ardoin shot an openinground 87, the second-highest score of the event. Ardoin did bounce back with a final round 73 (1-over-par), but her first-round debacle certainly put Arizona behind the eight ball. Lone senior Brittany Benvenuto didn’t help the team’s cause either as she shot 156 (12 over par), good for 85th place. — Mike Schmitz

No. 5 Penn State falls to Iowa in a tough, sloppy game in the rain MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — With the exception of a few hundred Iowa fans and a few blue or yellow rain jackets, Beaver Stadium was devoid of color Saturday night, a rolling sea of white in all directions. For most of the fourth quarter, it was also devoid of sound. The Hawkeyes broke open a sloppy defensive struggle with four takeaways — all but one coming in the fourth quarter — and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown to stun the fifth-ranked Nittany Lions, 21-10, before an announced 109,316 fans. Penn State (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten) has lost three games since the start of the 2008 season. Two of them have come at the hands of Iowa (4-0, 1-0), which has won seven of its last eight meetings with the Nittany Lions. Joe Paterno’s team wasn’t sharp on either side of the ball or on special teams Saturday. “I think it’s a question of learning and not feeling everything is lost,”Paterno said.“I think we can learn from it and hopefully we’ll get better.” Penn State quarterback Daryll Clark play-faked and threw a 50-yard strike to wide receiver Chaz Powell for a 79-yard touchdown on the Nittany Lions’ first play from scrimmage, sending roars throughout the stadium on a night that saw persistent rain from kickoff to the final whistle. But in the 58 minutes and 64 plays that followed, Penn State mustered only 228 yards and three points against an Iowa defense that controlled the line of scrimmage, forcing Clark (12-of-32, 198 yards, three interceptions) into several bad throws and tipping several others and limited the Nittany Lions’ rushing attack to 3.3 yards per carry. Iowa’s offense wasn’t much better — it averaged 4.7 yards per play and produced only 13 points — but the Hawkeyes had half as many turnovers and were able to drain time off the clock with freshman running back Adam Robinson and a veteran offensive line late in the game. “I thought Iowa played the same kind of game they had been playing,”Paterno said.“We didn’t play particularly well in some phases. We just didn’t get it done.” Penn State clung to a 10-5 lead early in the fourth quarter when Jeremy Boone, who had punted 109 times in three seasons without having one blocked, had that streak abruptly ended. Iowa defensive end Adrian Clayborn blew past Nick Sukay, swatted down Boone’s punt before it had a chance to get airborne, scooped it up and raced 52 yards for a touchdown, stunning the previously rowdy student section and the rest of the Penn State fans. Eric Latimore and Josh Hull sacked Stanzi on the Hawkeyes’ 2-point conversion try, but Iowa still led 11-10 with just over 12 minutes to play, and took full advantage of the momentum. On a third-and-7 from the Iowa 49, a hurried Clark stepped up in the pocket and fired the ball too hard to

Evan Royster. It caromed up into the air and fell into the waiting arms of Hawkeye linebacker Pat Angerer, who returned it 38 yards to the Penn State 24. Stanzi, who completed 11 of 26 passes for 135 yards and two interceptions, then stuck the ball in the stomach of Robinson (19 carries, 88 yards) three times. On the third, he broke three tackles, kept his feet and stumbled into the end zone from 13 yards out. Daniel Murray’s extra point made it 18-10 with 8:32 to play. The Nittany Lions got a shot of momentum when Powell returned the kickoff 36 yards to midfield and received 15 more on a late hit penalty. Royster cruised for 18 yards inside the 20 on the next play but lost the ball in doing so, and Iowa’s Karl Klug recovered at his own 19-yard line. Iowa went three-and-out, but Clark, who was

9-of-22 for 86 yards in the loss in Iowa City last November, was intercepted for the third time by A.J. Edds after his third-down pass was tipped near the line of scrimmage. It was a horrific second half for the leader of the Penn State offense. “Earlier in the game we were doing a little better job with the pass protection,” Paterno said. “And he had a better chance.” After Clark’s bomb to Powell, the Nittany Lions got the ball back at their own 36-yard line when Stanzi’s pass bounced off receiver Colin Sandeman and was grabbed by Sukay. Clark completed each of his next four throws, mixing in a few

runs from Royster (17 carries, 69 yards) and a few designed runs for himself as Penn State reeled off 68 yards during a 20-play drive that ate more than 10 minutes of game clock. But the Nittany Lions had to settle for Collin Wagner’s 28-yard field goal attempt when Clark’s third-down pass to Powell fell incomplete.

from the archives 60 years ago, student body president faced arrest for ‘unauthorized use of a loudspeaker’ By Alex Dalenberg Arizona Daily Wildcat

ssociated Students of the University of Arizona President Chris Nagata has a tough job, but he can comfort himself knowing he’s never been arrested at work. Sixty-one years ago this week, student body President Merrill Windsor found himself temporarily jailed after a pep rally for “unauthorized use of a loudspeaker.” Hey, at least he wasn’t drawing in chalk. The Oct. 1, 1948 issue of the Arizona Wildcat, then a weekly newspaper, reported that Windsor was arrested after a downtown rally for the football team in an article titled, “Band, rooters protest as Windsor ‘detained.’” The Wildcat reported: Original rally plans called for a procession from the campus to the downtown area and a cheering and song session at the intersection of East Congress Street and North Stone Avenue. The long, colorful parade of decorated cars was diverted eastward at the Fourth Avenue underpass by motorcycle police, however, and the student groups were further broken up by traffic officers sending them in different directions at every downtown intersection. Finally, a large group of students gathered on Sixth Avenue between Congress Street and Broadway Boulevard and began an impromptu rally, complete with band and cheerleaders. At the height of the rally police arrived and began to write citations for illegal parking. The rally broke up in confusion and Windsor vigorously protested the intervention over the public address system used to direct the rally. At this point, Windsor was arrested and taken to city hall, but the pep rally followed. According to the Wildcat, students gathered outside city hall, chanting for Windsor while the band played,“solemn dirges.” Eventually, Windsor appeared and asked the crowd to return to campus. Shortly afterward, the chief of police arrived and ordered all charges dropped.

Arizona Daily Wildcat Archives

Merrill Windsor, president of the student body, in the custody of a Tucson police officer immediately following the arrest that broke up the traditional pre-game rally. Windsor was accompanied to the City Hall by Vin Ciruzzi, chairman of the traditions committee.

Afterward, Windsor told the Wildcat there had been a miscommunication with the police department. He said repeated messages left for the chief of police went unanswered while the chief was out of town. Police responded saying rallies must be authorized by the city manager. Even so, Windsor said event organizers had no idea, and had never been referred to the city manager or the city council. “I was angry at the deliberate efforts of the police to break up the rally when I previously understood everything was in order,”Windsor said. In the same issue, the Wildcat blasted Tucson police in an editorial, writing that the agency had acted wrongly and worked to bust up the rally on purpose. “It is natural for the student body to favor Merrill (Windsor’s) stand. Even if he were in the wrong, most of us know and respect our president and would back him in any crisis,” the Wildcat said. “Furthermore, most of us have a deepseated distaste for policemen,”the editorial said.“Police seldom realize that all college ‘kids’ aren’t peach-fuzzed youths with too much money and little between the ears. (Police Chief) Hays must have been shocked when he found our president collected and capable.”

Also printed in the Oct. 1, 1948 issue: “Vagrant goat picked up by Tucson police.” 5099 E. Grant Rd., Suite 100 • Tucson, AZ 85712 On the corner of Grant and Rosemont

The wanderings of Albert, the goat, have ended. Albert is owned by Mike Bleich, proprietor of the Catalina guest ranch. Bleich’s son, Steve, a Tau Delta pledge, brought Albert to the fraternity house last Friday evening to meet the boys. Deciding that Albert should broaden his interests, the Tau Delts trotted him over to the AE Phi sorority house. The AE Phis liked Albert. They liked his gentle manner, his polite interest, the way he strained at his leash when a cake of Lifebuoy was mentioned. Declaring that Albert needed exercise, the girls took off with him in the general direction of Park Ave. And that appeared

to be the last of the animal. Although the campus and surrounding streets where checked for hours that night, neither hide nor horn of the goat could be found. Early Tuesday morning Albert’s travels reached a climax. He was picked up for vagrancy in front of the AE Phi house. Summoned by an irate neighbor who objected to the goat’s bleating at 2 a.m., two husky policemen surveyed the glaring goat with some misgivings until additional police arrived. Then Albert was hustled off to police headquarters and turned over to the city postmaster. The Tau Delts finally bailed him out Tuesday afternoon.

FRANCIS

Poet seeks to spread love of his craft

continued from page 1

anonymous and just try to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible,” he says while chalking a poem called “The Red Wheelbarrow” by William Carlos Williams on a wall at the Integrated Learning Center. He brings his dog Daisey, a bucket of chalk and poetry books. He rides a skateboard or drives his car from spot to spot — tagging even the far edges of the university. “It takes a lot more planning than you’d think,” he says of finding suitable places for the poems. On a printed a map of the university, he circles good spots to chalk the ground. He keeps mental notes about slabs of concrete he has seen, and what poems would fit on each. The key, he says, is finding a place big enough for the poem he wants to write, usually not longer than 10 lines, and smooth enough to not break his chalk. Brick doesn’t work because of the many cracks, and some concretes are too smooth for chalk to mark. His poems are temporary. Chalk on well-traveled sidewalks wears away within a few days. The chalk on the walls, like at the Integrated Learning Center or the Modern Languages building, stays legible longer. “Even if just one or two people look and kinda be like ‘huh, that’s cool,’ that’s all that really matters,” he said. “If it only lasts 10 hours and 10 students see it, it’s worth it to me … I just want

to share my love of words with other people, even if it’s just for a fleeting moment.” However, all poets have their critics. “Is it about promoting public literacy and advancing the awareness of poetry at the university,” asked Jake Levine, a UA graduate student and poetry instructor, “or is it about egotistical masturbation? It’s a fine line.” Levine spoke to his English 209 “Introduction to Poetry” class Friday about Francis and suggested they try to show him up by writing their own poems around campus. Since then, Levine spotted an original poem by Francis, and eased up his criticism, but not completely. Levine says he likes the idea and the energy, but doesn’t want poetry to become branded advertising. “It’s a brand so that people will know that it was Francis the Poet who sidewalk chalked (someone else’s) name in front of the poetry center,” he said. “There’s something innately wrong with that.” The UAPD knows nothing about Francis the Poet, said spokesman Sgt. Juan Alvarez. Despite the dozens of chalk poems around campus, Alvarez said he had never heard of Francis when the Wildcat contacted UAPD Sunday. “We don’t target artists, we target criminal acts,”Alvarez said. Using sidewalk chalk on university property is consid-

ered criminal damage, he said, but arresting somebody for the act is at the officer’s discretion. Francis says an officer once caught him in the act, but after checking his record for outstanding warrants, the officer let him go. He has had two other brushes with the police, he said, but before Thursday’s arrest of Jacob Miller, the graduate student arrested for writing in chalk, Francis said he didn’t worry too much about the police. When he writes, going back and forth from book to sidewalk, saying the lines out loud, he doesn’t look over his shoulder for the police. Facilities Management, the department in charge of keeping campus clean, has likewise never heard of the poet, said Associate Director Chris Kopach. Francis said several of his poems written on ILC walls were erased over the weekend. While Francis hasn’t made UAPD and Facilities Management’s radar, he has caught the attention of students on campus. Outside the Park Student Union while writing his last poem of the night, a girl walking by spotted Francis bent over with chalk on his pants and hands, scribbling words on the sidewalk, and exclaimed, “Are you Francis the Poet?” He said he was and she walked away. “If she recognizes me,” he said, raising a finger to his lips. “I’ll just say ‘shhh.’”

Meeting touched on FAFSA reform, clarified athletics review

DuVal said.Â In a vote of 7-3 the regents agreed to send an updated request to the governor and state Legislature that identified the actual financial needs of the university system. The request will include the new budget figure. However, some regents were skeptical as to whether the state Legislature will take it seriously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically the fact is that we need to present to the governor and the Legislature what we have and what we feel the universities need to carry out their mission,â&#x20AC;? said Regent Bob McLendon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important we put it all out there in black and white what it is we deem to be necessary. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our job.â&#x20AC;? President Robert Shelton said the UA has been modest and consistent in its budget requests. He identified enrollment growth and retention of university faculty and employees as being two critical areas where funding is essential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The university has lost roughly 600 positions,â&#x20AC;? Shelton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We continue to see the loss of some of our best scholars to other institutions throughout the country.â&#x20AC;? ASUÂ president Michael Crow and NAU president John Haeger said funding enrollment growth is a critical issue. Crow said the Legislature is violating the state constitution by not providing adequate funding for an influx of new students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Legislature has not said to

stop enrolling qualified students,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not fulfilling its promise to fund these students.â&#x20AC;? With nearly 50 percent of Arizona residents on the poverty line, Haeger said, additional tuition increases could put the majority of state residents in a situation where they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford higher education.

Regents support federal financial aid bill

The board of regents discussed President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to streamline FAFSA, a federal program designed to provide college tuition for students. The regents conveyed their support for the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-part plan, which includes restructuring of the online FAFSA form, allowing students to electronically access information from their tax returns and simplifying the formula used to calculate the amount of tuition received by students. The legislation regarding FAFSA is part of House Bill 3221, which was proposed by House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller. In addition to streamlining FAFSA, the bill, if passed, will establish a College Completion and Innovation Fund that will fund programs designed to improve college retention rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piece of legislation is very important and we are much in favor of it,â&#x20AC;? Shelton said.

Presidents speak out against gun law

The second day of the meeting opened up with a discussion on A.R.S. 12-781, a gun law that restricts public employers and property owners from enforcing a policy that prohibits the transportation and storage of firearms in a private vehicle. Previously, the three state universities had enacted laws that banned firearms from being taken onto a university campus. The regents and university presidents unanimously viewed the new law as being detrimental to the educational mission of the university system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our job as university presidents is to create an environment of openness, tolerance and acceptance,â&#x20AC;?Â Crow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public projection of weapons is contrary to this environment.â&#x20AC;? Shelton gave a statement on behalf of the UAÂ faculty condemning the new law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The faculty of the UA would like to express grave concern about the safety of our students and staff,â&#x20AC;?Â he said. The regents voted to draft a letter to the state Legislature and governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office requesting exemption for the university system. The law will go into effect Sept. 30.

Calderon dismisses coaching concerns

Arizona Board of Regents president

Will FergusonArizona Daily Wildcat

President Robert Shelton talks with Regent Bob McLendon and Â ASUA President Chris Nagata at the High Country Conference Center after the first day of the Arizona Board of Regents Meeting in Flagstaff Sept. 23.

Ernest Calderon said there was misinformation floating around about Arizona Athletics. In a Sept. 20 article on Arizona university coaching salaries,Â The Arizona Republic reported that the board of regents launched an extensive review of university athletic departments. The purpose of the investigation, according the Republic, was â&#x20AC;&#x153;to examine the growth in coaching salaries, how sports programs are funded and whether opportunities for

male and female students athletes are more equal.â&#x20AC;? Calderon denied the claim that the board is investigating coaching salaries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make it clear that the Arizona Board of Regents has no inention of investigating Arizona athletic salaries,â&#x20AC;? Calderon said. Calderon said the review of university athletics was initiated as an analysis of revenue, overhead expenses and a briefing of Title 9 requirements for sports.

I was wondering about getting birth control. Do I need to have Campus Health insurance in order to get it, and if not how much will it cost? I’ve already had a pap-smear within the last year but I do not like the birth control I am on right now and would like to switch. Do I have to make an appointment or can I just walk in?

A. Insurance in not required for any services at Campus Health. Any student taking one unit of credit (or more) is eligible for care. Costs for birth control vary widely, depending on what you select. If you are interested in oral contraceptives, costs range from $20 up to $70+ for a month of pills. Most pill prescriptions filled at Campus Health are $20. If you are interested in other methods, I suggest you check out

www.health.arizona.edu and search for “contraception” to look at the wide variety of methods available (i.e. Nuva-Ring, condoms, Intrauterine device (IUD), Depo-Provera, diaphragm, Implanon, cervical cap, etc). In addition to paying for the method you choose, there is a $20 co-pay for the visit with a medical provider. To be seen by a women’s health care specialist, simply call and make an appointment at 621.9202.

Q I’m 17 years old. Where can I get birth control? A. Due to state regulations, The UA Campus Health Service cannot treat minors (under 18) without parental permission. If you are a UA student and your parents signed a “consent to treat minor” form on your behalf, you are clear to receive any treatment you come in for. Rest assured that Campus Health considers you an adult and will not initiate contact to notify your parents about your care (unless it is a life-threatening emergency).

We are interested in your health and safety. Other local options for minors wanting birth control include Planned Parenthood (www.ppsaz.org) and the Pima County Health Department Family Planning office (www.pimahealth.org/family). You can get care at both of these organizations without a consent form.

like the support his company receives from businesses in the university and Fourth Avenue areas. “Downtown businesses would profit by helping us because it makes the area more attractive to the university crowd.” Guthrie said. Don Martin, a Rialto Block partner, admitted he does not know enough about the downtown route to say it’s a viable opportunity. “I’m committed to understanding (the situation) better.” Martin said.“It’s a question of how many university students would frequent the area if the trolley ran to downtown more often.” Richard Oseran, owner of The Historic Hotel Congress, is not so sure the trolley line will solve the transportation problems downtown faces. “It would be nice to see the historic trolley run to downtown more often, but it does not solve the transportation problem.” Oseran said. “We would like to see the modern trolley come into effect, which could really help the community.” Old Pueblo Trolley is also in need of more volunteers to operate the trolleys. To date, five new volunteers are currently

Swine flu halts century-old campus kissing tradition

Conductor Rick Wheeler, 68, gets ready to take passengers down University Boulevard and Fourth Avenue. Old Pueblo Trolley scaled back service to downtown due to a lack of funding and volunteers, said Dick Guthrie, president of Old Pueblo Trolley Inc.

Stanford’s century-old liplockapalooza called Full Moon on the Quad has survived mono, cold sores, bad breath, regular flu and even fears that HIV could be spread by kissing. But it couldn’t survive swine flu. Stanford has canceled the tradition that dates to the 19th century, when a senior would give a freshman — or dozens of freshmen — a kiss in the sandstone quad during the first full moon of the school year. H1N1 — a swinish strain of flu that sounds like a geometry proof, but in which H1+N1 = 0 kisses — has brought the Full Moon crashing down. And because it’s Stanford, this decision was only arrived at following an extensive epidemiological review. Vice Provost for Student Affairs Greg Boardman issued the death knell Tuesday, denouncing frivolous quadrangular kissing as “unconscionable” under the circumstances. Ira Friedman, director of the school’s Vaden Health Center, said the university’s administrators weren’t any happier about shutting the event down than students were.“We’re disappointed,” Friedman said.“It’s a long-standing, valued tradition that’s looked forward to by a lot of people. But it doesn’t make sense to have an event that involves a lot of kissing, the exact opposite of our isolation and social distancing strategies this year. H1N1 is not to be taken lightly.”

being trained and additional volunteers are always welcome. “We’ll take anybody who has an interest in the trolley system.” Guthrie said. Old Pueblo Trolley currently serves the University Boulevard to Eighth Street route and provides limited service into down-

town on weekends. “We run as often to downtown as equipment and personnel can hold out.” Guthrie said. For information on how to donate or become a volunteer with Old Pueblo Trolley, check out their Web site at www.oldpueblotrolley.com

Friedman also called Full Moon, originally scheduled for Oct. 4,“a recipe for disaster.” Among the affected undergraduate population milling around the Main Quad on Thursday, opinion seemed decidedly mixed. “I was disappointed to hear that it had been canceled,” said Ben Cohn, a freshman from San Diego. “My cousins went to school here, and they said it was the highlight of your orientation to Stanford. They can ban it officially, but I think just as many people will be kissing in other situations.” The kisses were chaste in the late 1800s when students lined up to give each other a nice peck. Over the decades, it evolved — or devolved — with some students showing up drunk or naked while groups handed out mints and condoms. Cohn reluctantly acknowledged that the scope of the event could create a problem. “The mass kissing might be bad,” he said. “One person could possibly kiss 50 people in one night. When it multiplies like that, it gets dangerous.” Senior Kate Powell said she had attended previous Full Moons, but she didn’t kiss anybody, she just watched. She wasn’t so sure the Moon going down would change anything. “You can still catch swine flu sitting next to somebody in class who has it,” Powell said. “People are still going to make out at parties. They’ll do it wherever.”
