“Pedagogy of the Oppressed” by Paulo Freire is one of over 50 banned books currently exhibited at the UA Main Library as part of Banned Books Week. Other books on display include “Where’s Waldo?” by Martin Handford and “Daddy’s Roommate” by Michael Willhoite.
Banned books: Libraries’ rebellious side Second annual exhibit showcases free, open access to information By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT University Libraries teamed up with the Progressive Librarians Guild to bring exhibits and events together for Banned Books Week, for the second year in a row. Banned Books Week was created by the American Library Association and “highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States,” according to the American Library Association’s website. “It’s really a celebration of our freedom to read,” said Rebecca Blakiston, UA instructional services librarian. This year there will be two exhibits, one in the Main Library and one in the ScienceEngineering Library.
Top five banned books of 2009:
1. “ttyl” (series), by Lauren Myracle Reasons: drugs, nudity, offensive language, sexually explicit, unsuited to age group 2. “And Tango Makes Three”, by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson Reasons: homosexuality 3. “The Perks of Being A Wallflower”, by Stephen Chbosky Reasons: anti-family, drugs, homosexuality, offensive language, religious viewpoint, sexually explicit, suicide, unsuited to age group 4.” To Kill A Mockingbird”, by Harper Lee Reasons: offensive language, racism, unsuited to age group 5. “Twilight” (series) by Stephenie Meyer Reasons: religious viewpoint, sexually explicit, unsuited to age group “It’s showing other people that these are examples of books
that have been banned and it’s mainly getting the word out that
we still ban books for simple issues,” said Andrea Goodrich, president of the UA’s chapter of the Progressive Librarians Guild. “It’s part of what we stand for as progressive librarians.” Goodrich says that as progressive librarians they tackle issues other librarians don’t and look at the community at large. The Main Library exhibit has more than 50 books on display, with a special focus on Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” “That’s one of the most challenged books over time,” Blakiston said. They chose “To Kill a Mockingbird” not only because it is one of the most challenged but also because this year marks the 50th anniversary of its publication. At the exhibit a list of the most frequently challenged books in BOOKS, page 8
Students often find it exciting to receive e-mail invitations to participate in Economic Science Laboratory experiments held in Eller College of Management, because of the cash rewards associated with them. Communications senior Julie Levin began participating last semester in these experiments. She said she heard about them from a friend of hers who mentioned that it is an easy way to make some extra cash. “My first experiment I had to roll a die and the outcome of the number would tell me how much money I would receive at the end,” Levin said. “I ended up getting $50, which definitely made me want to come back.” She added that it is great for college students who have a break in between classes and could use some extra pocket money. “The fact that it is going toward research benefits you and them,” she said. Anna Breman, assistant economics professor, has been running experiments for the past year and said she thinks it is really positive for the university when people sign up. Her experiments emphasize behavioral economics, because she said it is important to understand how people behave when it comes to financial decision making, for instance why people invest in the wrong businesses. “When we recruit people we don’t want them to know what we expect from them, because then they might try to act differently and do what we want them to do,” Breman said. Once the research is complete, the goal is to publish the data in top economic research journals, she said. “In general, people signing up is fantastic,” Breman said. “They are helping to create research that is really moving economics forward and creating new knowledge.” In order to run the experiments, the UA’s Institutional Review Board must approve them. This ensures the protection of human subjects involved in the research process. Researchers must send in information about experiments they plan on running to the committee. “Economics is not considered evasive, so it tends to be quicker to get approved,” Breman said. It still usually takes a couple of months to get approved. Participants in the experiment are required to sign a form of ESL, page 8
EVERYONE J. Christopher Maloney HAS A STORY Mind, matter, God and teaching By Abigail Richardson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT “Everyone Has a Story” is a semiweekly segment in the Arizona Daily Wildcat that aims to tell the story of an interesting person on the UA campus. This week, the Daily Wildcat interviewed J. Christopher Maloney, the head of the department of philosophy and the professor for traditions and cultures 104, Mind, Matter and God. Maloney could not be any happier with his decision to
enter the teaching profession. “When I was an undergraduate, I was thinking bank robbery or something else,” he said. “This seemed like such a better alternative.” It wasn’t until Maloney entered college that he became inspired by his history professor freshman year. The class had about 500 students, but Maloney made it a point to get to know him. “He was just the most engaging lecturer I had ever heard, and there was a group of stu-

dents sitting around having lunch with him and so I just shoehorned my way into the table and started listening, and the discussion was wonderful,” Maloney said. “I thought to myself, God, what a great way to spend your life. It wasn’t that it seemed like it was fun. It just struck me as fulfilling and rewarding and just filling your mind with what you wanted to be there.” Although Maloney teaches philosophy at the UA, he has FEATURE, page 8

art history freshman Tell me about this pink hairdo and what inspired it? I was sitting outside of Coronado (Residence Hall) at like 3 a.m. and my friend Mandy came by, and she was going to dye her hair and I said, “I am too.” So I did, and it’s pink and it looks cool. Do you get a lot of comments on it or what? I get like a ton of chicks, from the hair. From this pink hair, like so many chicks from this hair it’s unbelievable. So you are like the guy version of Katy Perry with her blue hair? Oh yeah, I touched Katy Perry’s boob one time, no big deal. Wait, where? At the Marquee (Theatre) in Phoenix, crazy nights. What is the craziest thing that has happened at Coronado since you moved in? I don’t know, there is a lot of fights, windrow breaking, mushrooms, people getting thrown through a window. A lot of stuff happens there, it’s the real world. The real world: Coronado. Yes, at UofA. If you could steal anything from your roommate what would it be? The microwave, so I could throw it out the window. Why? Not a fan of microwaves? He makes microwave chili and it’s really nasty. OK, but what is a possession of his that you really want? His pipe (laughs). But no, he really has nothing. Oh, his mac n’cheese, I guess. He really has no objects in his room, I have all the objects. What is the coolest object you have in your room? My Shiva, my little Indian statue. It’s like really old. Does it help you get through the stress of a UofA week? Oh, definitely, she guides me through everything I do, Shiva’s my girl (sic). Do you do yoga at all? I’ve done it before; I’m not good at it. I get self conscious of other people. I feel like you would do it in your room by yourself with your Shiva, or something. Maybe in the future Shiva and I will get down and do some yoga. OK, and what’s your favorite scent of incense? Because I feel like you and your Shiva could definitely make some use of incense. Well, considering I am not allowed to burn stuff in Coronado … But let’s say if you were allowed to, what would you be burning? That’s legal … Sage, perhaps, maybe some spice. Those are legal.

High school coach moons fans during game One assistant high school coach brought a new meaning to “backfield in motion” during a high school football game in New York City. The Boys and Girls High School assistant coach dropped his shorts during the game, exposing his backside to the home fans of the Campus Magnet High School in Queens, N.Y. after a disputed call by the referees. The surprising show of skin from the assistant coach came after a shoving match on the field between assistant coaches and school safety officials.
“His fellow assistant coaches were holding him back and he turned around and pulled down his shorts,” said David Sumter, 40, a Campus Magnet parent. “All I saw was his big (rear end).” The melee began when Campus Magnet scored a 2-point conversion try after the team’s running back Raeshawn Lewis was apparently stripped of the ball as he crossed the goal line. When the refs confirmed the ruling on the field, Boys and Girls Club assistant coach Clive Harding ran to dispute the call. The refs then ejected the
team’s coach Barry O’Connor and Harding as fans continued to heckle the them. That’s when Harding lost his shorts. Walking to the fence, he began screaming at fans and then gave them an eyefull of his backside. “I think he was so frustrated and he wanted to fight and some people were using curse words and he couldn’t do anything,” Sumter said. “It’s out of line. If you’re getting beat and it’s a bad call, you take it in stride. You don’t pull your pants down.” — FoxSports.com

UA, TUSD panel debates education laws Teachers describe SB 1070, ethnic studies bill, Prop 107’s effect on public schools By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

President Barack Obama participates in a conference call with college newspaper editors in the Oval Office on Monday.
Obama: Higher ed needs to be affordable By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona Daily Wildcat participated in a conference call with President Barack Obama on Monday. Obama spoke at length about how to make higher education more affordable and effective in the U.S. Student journalists from around the country participated in the call, where Obama discussed issues affecting students. “Our classrooms, our administrators, our students, you guys are going to drive future success of the United States,” Obama said. “We have fallen behind. In a single generation, we have fallen from first to 12th in college graduation rates for young adults,” Obama said. “If we’re serious about building a stronger economy and making sure we succeed in the 21st century, then the single most important step we can take is to make sure that every young person gets the best education possible because countries that out-educate us are going to out-compete us tomorrow.” Obama reiterated his goal for the U.S. to have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020, a proposal he made during last year’s State of the Union address. “We’ve done OK in terms of college enrollment rates but more than a third of America’s college students, and more than half of our minority students, don’t earn a degree after six years and that’s a waste of potential,” Obama said. “Obviously it’s up to students to finish, but we can help remove some barriers.” He cited the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which would cap loan interest payments at 10 percent of monthly income and includes debt forgiveness after ten years for individuals who are employed in a public service field, raising the value of Pell Grants, and last year’s health care reform act as ways his administration is attempting to make college more affordable. “The key here is that we want to open the doors of our colleges and universities to more people so they can learn, they can graduate and they can succeed in life,” Obama said. Obama also extolled the value of community colleges, saying that Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, will hold the first White House Summit on Community Colleges next week. “That way stakeholders are going to be able to discuss how community colleges can make sure we’ve got the most educated workforce in the world in relevant subjects that help people get jobs,” Obama said.
Participating student journalists repeatedly asked the president how best to make higher education a priority during a time of economic decline. Colin Daileda from Radford University asked whether Obama agreed that it would take this generation of college graduates longer to become successful after college because of lingering financial worries. “Don’t let anybody tell you that somehow your dreams are going to be constrained going forward,” Obama said. “You’re going through a slightly tougher period but, if you think about it, what we call the ‘greatest generation,’ my grandparent’s generation, they had a situation where unemployment reached 30 percent and they ended up essentially building the entire American middle class to what it was and making this the most powerful economy in the world.” He also stressed that legislators need to work closely with university administrators to identify causes for recent inflation in tuition costs, which he said has been larger than health care inflation in recent years. Obama also criticized institutional development of some universities, saying that renovation and construction of athletic facilities and other structures could be a reason why tuition is becoming more expensive. “One of the things we’re going to be doing is working with university presidents and college presidents to figure out how can we get control of costs generally and refocus our priorities and our intention on what the primary function of a university is and that is to give students the knowledge and skills that they need to have a fulfilling career when they get out, not to provide the best situation for the four years that they’re there,” Obama said. Obama expressed optimism for the future, though he said the biggest priority for him is to get the economy on track again. “I know we’ve gone through a tough time these last two years and I do worry sometimes that young folks having grown up or come of age in difficult economic times start feeling as if their horizons have to be lowered and they’ve got to set their sights lower than their parents or their grandparents,” Obama said. “And I just want to remind people that you guys all have enormous challenges that you’re going to have to face but you continue to live in the most vibrant, most dynamic, wealthiest nation on earth and if you are able to work together as a generation to tackle long-standing problems that you inherited, then there’s no reason why the 21st century is not going to be the American century just like the 20th century was.”
A seven-member panel, comprised of university faculty and administrators, and a representative for Tucson Unified School District, discussed S.B. 1070, House Bill 2281 and Proposition 107 on Monday. More than 150 people gathered in Gallagher Theater to listen to the panel speak on recent controversial legislation in Arizona. “In light of recent legislation and upcoming propositions, many questions may arise, probably, in a lot of your minds,” UA President Robert Shelton said. “Will the UA maintain its commitment to diversity? Will colleagues whose work involves supporting the retention of underrepresented students continue to be supported and valued here at the UA? Will the UA continue to diversify its curricula? And I’m here to say the resounding answer to each and everyone of these questions is ‘yes.’” Shelton stated that it is in the mission of the UA as a land-grant institution to promote diversity in its student body. This commitment is reflected in this year’s freshman class, which Shelton called the most diverse in the UA’s history. “The University of Arizona welcomes, embraces, values and is enriched by the diversity of our campus community,” Shelton said. “So I say to students of all backgrounds, the University of Arizona is your university.” Other panel members iterated their belief that some students and faculty might see the UA as hostile towards minority groups as a result of the recent legislation. “I myself don’t believe that S.B. 1070 was founded as a law that was designed to survive judicial review,” Gabriel Chin, a Chester H. Smith professor of law at the James E. Rogers College of Law, said. “I think it was designed to send a message … and I think in that regard S.B. 1070 has been very clear and successful.” Augustine Romero, the director of student equality in the Tucson Unified School District, spoke on H.B. 2281, which bans school districts in Arizona from teaching ethnic studies courses such as those taught in TUSD. He highlighted past attempts to pass measures of this
nature, including in 2008, when a similar proposal was included as part of the homeland security bill. “The effective education of Latino kids is a threat to state and/or national security,” Romero said. “How absurd is that? … It would be comical if it wasn’t so serious.” Members of the panel were unified in their opposition to recent legislative acts, though to varying degrees, “What concerns me about (S.B.) 1070, (H.B.) 2281, Proposition 107 and the anchor baby law that’s probably going to be introduced in the next legislative session is their focus on what I really regard as racism,” said J.C. Mutchler, Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee chair and secretary of the UA Faculty Senate. “Let’s call it what it is this is, simple racism.” All those assembled agreed that it was time for UA students and faculty members to get more involved in the legislative process. Most audience members who spoke during the panel’s question and answer session agreed with the panel in this regard. “It has been said that one thing we can do is remember that we live in a democracy and this Legislature is there because the people of Arizona elected those people,” said Pete Likins, a former president of the UA. “And we can fix that.” Some members of the audience thought that the Legislature should stay out of educational matters entirely. “The legislature should not decide educational policy,” said Liz Kennedy, a gender and women’s studies professor. “If TUSD thinks that this is the best way to increase the number of people who graduate from high school, then they should do it.” Not all present were in opposition to recent legislation. Two members of the audience, Laura Leigh and a man who left before he could be properly identified, spoke in opposition to the recent acts. Leigh spoke on certain portions of the curricula used by TUSD that she believes promotes violent revolution against the U.S. government. “I have two other friends from two other states who were telling me that kids are getting beat up by Mexican kids, and we’re thinking that they’re teaching them something,” Leigh said.

Tucson Driving: Dante’s real inner circle of hell Andrew Shepherd
T
Arizona Daily Wildcat
he city of Tucson is known for being one of the most bicycle-friendly places in the United States, but couldn’t it be a little more car-friendly? Driving around a place this small should be a breeze, but instead one can equate it to an inner circle of hell. With bruised tires from endless potholes and my patience completely gone, it’s time to rant. Perhaps the most annoying thing about driving around this city is the plethora of pedestrian crosswalks. Of course people should be able to cross the street safely, but is it too much to ask them to go to the next intersection? Does bumper-to-bumper traffic really need to be delayed because you need to cross the street during your morning jog? Traffic shouldn’t be forced to stop simply because a person pushes a button. The city is already pretty congested and commuters don’t need an additional red light. City leaders, how about a compromise: Disable the crosswalks during rush hour. Besides the crosswalks, what makes Tucson a terrible place to drive in is the drivers themselves. Is driving school different here than everywhere else? It’s impossible to count the number of times I’ve come across people going below the speed limit in the left lane. It’s my personal opinion that nobody should ever
“Some without cars may be thinking I’m making a lot of noise about nothing. However, it’s not that I’m mad that some pedestrian made me stop, or that I got stuck behind a half-wit in a minivan; it’s that traffic always seems to work against me.” drive below the speed limit, but if the roads scare you that much, please stay out of the left lane. For the most part, you’re allowed to go at least five mph above the speed limit, so why won’t you take advantage of it? Do you take pride in slowing everybody else down? Also, when you change lanes, please don’t take all decade to do so. You know when you have to turn, so prepare for it and do it without causing everyone behind you to brake. The enemy of all commuters is the evil Sun Tran. As an environmentalist, I like the idea of public transportation, as fewer cars means less pollution. However, the Sun Tran makes traveling in the right lane almost impossible. It’s bad enough only having two lanes to drive in, let alone one when the Sun Tran stops every few seconds. Some without cars may be thinking I’m making a lot of noise about nothing. However it’s not that I’m mad that some pedestrian made me stop, or that I got stuck behind a half-wit in a minivan; it’s that traffic always seems to work against me. If I make a green light, it’s almost certain the next one will be red. If I need to make a left, the last car in oncoming traffic will always take forever. If I try to go around somebody going 30 mph in the left lane, there will be a Sun Tran in the right lane. Don’t even get me started on the train, as it only comes when I’m late. Tucson’s traffic problems are the result of past city leaders failing to plan for its growth. While impossible to do now, it would have been nice if past City Councils could have put in parkways on the north side of the city that go from east to west. Of course, most of these problems would be nonexistent if there was a freeway that did more than simply cut through the middle of town. Without costly fights over eminent domain and huge restructuring of the entire traffic system, it seems our problems are here to stay. I guess it’s best to just get used to the congestion and consistent Sun Tran stops. However, for those of you who insist on driving like you’re 95 and blind, do the rest of us a favor and take advantage of the many bike trails our city has to offer. — Andrew Shepherd is a political science senior.

MAILBAG Thank a groundskeeper
It happened again, just like it has been happening for weeks. And this time I find it necessary to say something. It starts with a pristine open space on the campus of a large university, in this case the UA Mall. Combine this with thousands of people with something to celebrate, in this case a winning football team. Have a pep rally or a tailgate party and invite everyone, and I mean everyone! Plenty of entertainment, massive amounts of food and — yes — alcohol, creates a carnival atmosphere. The revelry goes on for hours, and when everyone leaves, the grounds are littered with the glass, paper and aluminum cans — along with other things better ignored. But that is when it happens! When we are all tucked away in our beds, dreaming of our team’s victory. Like wizards in possession of a magical wand, the grounds crew arrives to return our Mall to its pristine state. They manage this, week after week, before we wake up. So today I want to thank those who quietly clean up our messes, often “under the cover of darkness.” I urge you to take a moment; thank someone you see sweeping the sidewalk, picking up the litter or emptying the trash that we produce every day. Edith Burke Graduate student studying special education
Academic success matters more than stereotypes
In response to the article “Letters from Mal,” and the letter by Haley Snodgrass: I don’t understand why Mal and Haley feel the need to judge everyone else. It’s unfortunate that you feel the need to elevate yourselves by categorizing others as “bros or trashy, bronzed sorority girls.” At the UA, we should be judged on only one criterion — academic performance. This is the only category that will increase the university’s prestige in rankings and reports. That “our campus is factually 75 percent bro” has no effect whatsoever on academics and intelligence. Unless you are judging people based on how they affect the academic prestige of the university (which truly does affect everyone), then you are contributing absolutely nothing to the university community. Please take your judgment and prejudice somewhere else. Mal and Haley, hopefully “at this point, you’ll have the harsh realization that the joke is on you.” Alex Yang Aerospace engineering junior

One of the latest to surface is a panel discussion on the TV news and analysis program “Scarborough Country” in 2003, where she contended that rather than educating young people about condoms and safe sex, she would stop the whole country from having sex. If I were inclined to play along, I’d respond with a question as to how she feels she could accomplish stopping Americans from having sex. Not only is it an action necessary for the continuance our species, but it is also a natural, instinctual drive. Hold the phone, though. This is not the first time O’Donnell has breached the topic of sex, or made outrageous statements, for that matter. In 1996, she also advocated for a worldwide cessation of masturbation. Recently, political comedian and host of HBO’s “Real Time” Bill Maher vowed to show a new video each week of O’Donnell’s borderline lunacy and completely erroneous beliefs until she appears on his show. O’Donnell appeared on Maher’s old show “Politically Incorrect” more than 20 times in the 1990s and provided more than a flurry of outlandish commentaries for Maher to choose from. In one such appearance, she asserted her firmly held “no lying” lifestyle. Hey, she does not lie! That’s a good thing, right? We teach our children not to lie. However, when pressed by fellow panelist, comedian Eddie Izzard, proceeded to ask, “If Hitler was at the door and you had Anne Frank in the attic, you wouldn’t lie?” She responded, “No.”
Now, yes, we do teach our children not to lie. However, we also hope to teach them other values of right and wrong, i.e. we attempt to foster in them a moral compass that can guide them through the complex situations human beings find themselves in. Most everyone can firmly agree that if Hitler was at the front door and Anne Frank was upstairs in the attic, that they would lie. Not because if he found her he would probably kill her, and you for hiding her, but because it is the right thing to do. Despite being a grown woman, O’Donnell has not dispensed with elementary notions of moral correctness when it comes to just actions. Rather, she holds on to the black and white perception that rests diametrically opposed to a clearly vivid world of grays. It confounds the basic notions of forward progress as a species and offends the intellectual sensibilities of thinkers everywhere that people such as O’Donnell are given airtime on our nation’s stage, as if we, as a country, care what they have to say. On Maher’s show in 1998, O’Donnell stated, “Evolution is a myth.” She followed the laughter and Maher’s response, “Have you ever looked at a monkey?” with a
question of her own, “Why aren’t monkeys still evolving into humans?” This is someone who either blatantly rejects the science of evolution or is incapable of comprehending it — both options leave much to be leery of. Plenty of people reject evolution, which is another debate altogether that I do not wish to broach. But, what I am drawing attention to is that O’Donnell has taken a stance without fully understanding what “evolution” is to begin with. What does that say about her decision-making skills? Is that someone you would like representing you in the U.S. Senate? The only refutation I have that might potentially help O’Donnell’s case here is, if evolutionary science is so concrete, why do we still have people walking this earth failing to accept facts as facts? Perhaps, she will rekindle some magic of her olden days when she was “dabbling in witchcraft” and put a spell on the great state of Delaware to elect her. Nevertheless, it is most interesting to delve into how someone can be taken seriously without the necessary sense to know what statements are completely offensive to anyone with sixthgrade critical thinking skills. How is someone who works with an MSDOS version of realistic feasibility, supposed to run in-step with those running Mac OS X “Snow Leopard” or Windows 7? Hi. I’m an analytical thinker and rejecting ignorance was my idea. — Tyler Quillin is a senior majoring in philosophy and English.

POLICEBEAT By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
UA employee feels threatened by e-mailed expletives
A director of a department on campus reported suspicious e-mails that were being received by one of her employees to UAPD on Thursday. The employee taught a student who was enrolled in her class and had started sending the employee e-mails that were possibly threatening. The employee told the officer she felt threatened by some of the e-mails sent from a foreign exchange student in one of her classes. She also stated that she no longer wanted that student in her class. The employee read the officer some of the e-mails she received. In the e-mails, the student made reference to celebrating the day of her death and on her grave monument. The student also stated in the e-mail that the employee is a “bitch,� but it appears on the e-mails as “bxxxh.� The employee forwarded the officer the e-mails. The officer went to the residence of the student and spoke to him in front of the house. He asked the student about the e-mails and the meaning behind the statements. The man stated that he was joking and had no intention of hurting the employee. His meaning behind the e-mails was that he did not wish to be in that woman’s class anymore. In regards to calling her a bitch, the man stated that he had heard others in the class use that word to each other but did not know what it meant. The officer advised him that the UA was an educational institution and behaviors and statements like those are not to be used toward anyone, especially toward the staff of the university. The officer advised the student not to go into the building where his class was until he had been in contact with the Dean of Students Office, since it had been monitoring his situation. The officer also told the student that he would not be returning to that employee’s class because she no longer wanted him in that class. The man said he understood and would not return until he receives the phone call from the Dean of Students Office.
Sobbing driver can’t keep story straight
A man was arrested for driving under the influence on Thursday, at approximately 2:51 a.m. After some breath tests, he was additionally charged for DUI of .08 or above, DUI of .15 or above, and speeding. He was released to a friend who also picked up the vehicle. That night, at approximately 2:05 a.m., a UAPD officer noticed a car driving at a speed that appeared to exceed the limit. The officer got behind that vehicle and paced it, noting he was traveling 5 mph above the limit. The car then went into a zone where the speed limit lowered, changing from 35 mph to 30 mph, and the driver did not slow down or adjust his speed. The officer then pulled the car over. As soon as the officer approached the driver, the man began to cry. The officer asked what was wrong, and the driver stated that his boyfriend had just broken up with him. The man provided the officer with an Arizona driver’s license and a separate license for a woman. There were three passengers in the back seat, as well as a male passenger in the passenger’s seat who had a woman sitting in his lap who appeared to be very intoxicated and passed out. The officer asked the driver which woman the ID he had given him belonged to. The man said it belonged to the woman who was lying in the passenger seat. The officer called her name, and she told the officer she was OK. The officer could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from the car. The driver continued crying and the officer noticed how watery and bloodshot his eyes were. The officer asked him to step out from the vehicle, which he did without any difficulty. The man kept crying, and the officer smelled the odor of alcohol on his breath. He administered the horizontal gaze test and as the man exhaled, the smell became more evident. The officer administered two other tests to the man. The driver said that he was picking up his friends and had not been drinking. He said that the smell of intoxicants was on his breath because he had kissed one of the females in the car and she had taken a shot. However, later the man told the officer he did not remember what exactly he drank prior to being pulled over. He informed the officer that he was a diabetic and took pills for his condition but did not remember what pills they were because his mother usually gave them to him. The man submitted to a test that showed a presence of alcohol in his system. He was placed under arrest at 2:51 a.m. and was taken to the UAPD station after being handcuffed. At UAPD, a few other tests for alcohol showed that he had high levels of alcohol present in his body and received additional charges for DUI.

Will UA’s backcourt be too crowded? COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman
G
Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Jordan Schupan and the rest of the Arizona Icecats have focused on strengthening their offensive attack after a disappointing 2009-2010 season. The Icecats will open their season at No. 9 ASU on Thursday.
Icecats getting ready for season By Daniel Gaona ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona Icecats hockey has returned, but it will be more than a month before the team has a home game. The Icecats open the season on Sept. 30 at No. 9 Arizona State University for a two-game series. The next weekend the team will travel to Ohio for three games in the American Collegiate Hockey Association Showcase. “We start the year with seven games on the road, and the first five games will be all against ranked teams,” Icecats head coach Leo Golembiewski said. “UNLV is a real tough club, and we’re going to play them up in their barn.” Arizona will finally return home to play Weber State for its Nov. 5 home opener. Golembiewski said the team had less time to prepare for the season than others because of the lack of a practice facility, yet on the other hand, he feels playing at the Tucson Convention Center is a plus. “You’d like to have three or four weeks like everybody else has to put their teams together, but we don’t,” he said. “The big advantage is we play in a 7,000 seat arena, and we’re kind of an enigma that we’re not just a college hockey team, we’re a town team.” This will be the 30th season the Icecats play at the TCC Arena, better known to Icecat fans as the “Madhouse.”
Time spent on the ice in the few practices leading up to the opener in Tempe will be essential. “You could spend time running sprints or just running, but nothing replaces being in hockey shape,” he said. “Skating is skating; it uses different muscles and everything else.” When the team finally gets on the ice for game action, Golembiewski said that goaltending will be vital. “You can’t win without offense but at the same token you can’t win without good goaltending and good defense,” Golembiewski said. “It all comes down to the nets. You’ve got to have goaltenders that can be consistent and stop the puck.” Last year Arizona was outscored 145109 in 29 games. It gave up an average of five goals a game while its offense averaged just 3.76. The negative differential caught up to the Wildcats as the season went on and the team finished 11-18. “Our goaltending last year wasn’t good enough,” Golembiewski said. “Right across the board we have to strengthen ourselves and we feel we’ve done that and have got a good nucleus back.” Currently, freshmen Steven Sisler and Julian Talavera are competing for the starting job. Golembiewski is also confident with the addition of a handful of solid defensemen. Among them is 6-foot-1 Michael Basist . Also, junior Jonathan Watanabe
transferred from Skidmore College in New York . Offensively, the team took a hit before the season even started. Sophomore Brian Slugocki who was last year’s co-MVP and leading scorer with 27 goals was declared academically ineligible according to Golembiewski, but he said the team was trying to appeal it. “If he’s gone for the semester, that’s a big void,” Golembiewski said. “We’re hoping that these new guys, plus with the core back, we’ll be able to sustain offense.” Freshman forward Andrew Murmes from Massachusetts should be able to fill some of the void as Golembiewski expects him to add a lot to the offense. Senior forward Jordan Schupan and junior defenseman Geordy Weed are the two co-captains. Along with Schupan, defenseman Micah Kneeshaw is the only other senior on the team. Not including Slugocki, there are 30 players on the roster. Golembiewski is trying to assemble three front lines and understands how essential depth is especially after last season. “You lose players through attrition,” he said. “Last year it was probably the most injury-prone year in our 31 years. We lost a lot of manpower games. “It’s a pretty young group of guys,” he said. “But we feel we have some decent experience although some of them are obviously new players to the organization.”
Sunday’s win halts losing streak, gives Wildcats momentum COMMENTARY BY Michael Fitzsimmons
SOCCER, page 10
Young guns learn on the pine
It’s the best-case scenario for the Wildcat backcourt. Ideally, Arizona would love for veterans like Fogg and Jones to have starting positions for the next two and three years, respectfully. That gives Miller a season to develop his freshman guards; Mayes and Bejarano this year and Johnson and Turner the next. With a year under Miller’s expectations and intense workouts under their belts, this shouldn’t be a question as to whether Fogg and Jones are in the starting lineup. Come 2011, however, the backcourt gets crowded.
Veterans take a back seat
This is the least-likely scenario. Recruiting rankings tell us that the 2011 Arizona guard commits are the most talented of the seven-player crop that Miller will theoretically have available. What if those recruiting buffs are right? What if Turner and Johnson push themselves into the starting lineup? You can argue about who was an overrated recruit or who won’t develop, but it’s going to leave at least one odd man out. It should be noted that Jones hosted Turner during his official visit two weekends ago, according to the Daily Star. That said, Jones obviously isn’t afraid of losing playing time. How will the others handle it?

It can sometimes be dangerous to label a game a “must-win.” Whether they admit it or not, the Wildcats needed to win on Sunday against Utah — it was a game they could not look back on and see an “L” next to the result. At home and against a now 2-10 Utah team, Arizona soccer’s 1-0 overtime thriller over the Utes was big for more than one reason. The win was a much-deserved reward after playing hard for 96 minutes, and it completely changed the complexion of the next week, especially if you imagine the alternative. It would have been Arizona’s third straight loss that likely would have deflated the team’s spirits right before Pacific 10 conference play starts. While those two reasons are nice ancillary benefits for the Wildcats, two more aspects of the win over Utah provide building blocks for the rest of the season: Arizona won a game they needed to win by shutting out a team for more than 90 minutes while starting
sports writer
ive a hand to Arizona head coach Sean Miller. With a 2011 recruiting class worthy of an elite basketball program — Rivals.com currently ranks Arizona’s class as the fifth best while ESPN gives the Wildcats the No. 3 spot in its own ranking system — he’s earned an appreciative applause. But hold your basketball-loving horses. You’ve always got to play devil’s advocate, because even with a ton of talent grabbing their tickets to the desert, questions of how the newbies will mesh with returning players gets complicated. What we do know is that Arizona has a three-player 2011 class, and it will likely remain that way. With two committed guards in Josiah Turner out of Sacramento High School and Nick Johnson from Findlay Prep in Las Vegas in that class, the question now becomes this: how will the two 2011 guards fit in with the 2010 guard class of freshmen Jordin Mayes and Daniel Bejarano? Oh, and what about the guys that, as of now, are naturally pegged into the starting guard spots for this coming season? Sophomore Momo Jones and junior Kyle Fogg, not to mention fellow guard Brendon Lavender, will still be around in 2011. Logjam much? Do the math, and that means there are seven players for two spots on the court come 2011. Sure, Fogg, Lavender and Bejarano could be feasible small forwards, but I digress. The Wildcats will simply have to figure out who is going to contribute to wins and who will need to warm the benches, but that’s not an easy decision for Miller. In the end, he will fight between giving young players experience versus giving somewhat-established players most of the playing time. That will lead to a number of possible scenarios for the 2010 and 2011 teams:
Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Freshman Jazmin Ponce led the Arizona soccer team by scoring the game’s only goal in an overtime win over Utah on Sunday. The Wildcats, 3-5-1, needed the victory over the Utes to stop the losing streak it’s been mired in since offensive ace Renae Cuellar went down with an injury.
This is the most likely case for the Arizona basketball program. Whether it’s a symptom of seeing tumultuous roster (and head coaching) turnover over the past few years, here’s to guessing the next couple of years will continue the trend of at least one transfer per school year. Seeing the veteran players perform in clutch situations — see Fogg’s clutch, three free-throw makes against USC at McKale Center last season and Jones’ fade-away, bank shot for the win at Stanford — makes me believe they’ve solidified themselves onto the team for the remainder of their careers. That will put some pressure onto whomever wants their backup spots in 2011. Lavender, Mayes, Bejarano, Turner and Johnson will be fighting for those minutes, and it’ll be interesting to find out who will be willing to take a backseat and who dips out of the desert. — Kevin Zimmerman is a journalism senior.

human subject approval. According to the Experiment Development Policies and Procedures, experiment registration also requires a summary of experimental design, number of subjects, sessions and range of payoffs. The name of the funding institution must be clear in addition to other principal researchers. Breman said researchers are usually able to fund the experiments and pay in cash due to research grants through the university and other grants outside the university such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health. It depends on the research, but people tend to apply for both, she said. Director of the lab Martin Dufwenberg said there are about 700 students who are signed up for the experiments. It varies from semester to semester, he said, but students appear to show an

interest in the lab. Dufwenberg explained that in the 1980s and 1990s experiments were geared to understanding markets and the seller and buyer trade. This is still some of the focus, but in recent years, he said there has been a shift, emphasizing behavioral economics incorporating richer conceptions of individuals. This includes factors such as rationality and emotions when making financial decisions. That has changed to some extent, he said. Experiments are now presented in a more “game-like” fashion involving partnership, relationships and bargaining. “Experiments have recently been used to shed light on wage formation in labor markets, with interesting implications for how to understand some causes of unemployment in times of recession,” he said.
‘I don’t think of work as something to escape from’
always found history enticing. “History has always been, for me, a really good story — best story there is,” Maloney said. “I did discover how deeply rewarding and fulfilling it is to find yourself thinking really hard and really deeply about what’s fascinating. And then it just turned out for me that philosophy was the most fascinating stuff.” Even at the end of the day, Maloney never finds his job stressful. He spends his days in the moment, enjoying every aspect. “I don’t think of work as something to escape from,” he said. “One of the wonderful things about being a professor is that I never know what time it is. I have to look sometimes, but I never watch the clock. I never find myself thinking ‘Oh my God, two more hours to go. I got to get through this.’ There is just never enough time to do everything I want to do.” In addition to his teaching career, Maloney
also enjoys spending his time outdoors. “I like to run, to cycle, and I love hiking,” Maloney said. “Living in Tucson is like waking up and finding yourself in a candy store. What I mostly enjoy about running and cycling is the concentration it takes, so when I find myself cycling, I’m just all there, concentrating on what’s there in that moment.” Maloney has found his life to be rewarding and completely fulfilling. As for the future, Maloney plans to live day by day and continue to do what he is so passionate about — teaching. “I would like to get up tomorrow morning to find out that the sun came up and come back here and do what I like to do so well … I find myself thinking I’ve only got so many more years until retirement. There is so much I want to do. For future endeavors I find myself thinking, ‘Can I have more of the same?’ That would be just fine with me.”
Officials hope visitors use display to form own opinions
the last year is available. Also on display is an exhibit created by the Tucson chapter of REFORMA, the national association to promote library and information services to Latinos and the Spanish-speaking. The display examines H.B. 2281, the ethnic studies bill. “TUSD is a few blocks away from campus so it’s part of the community, and there is also a really big tie between the ethnic studies program at UA and the Mexican studies program at TUSD,” said Jeffery Cruz, REMORA president, Progressive Librarians Guild member and information and library science graduate student. Cruz said the exhibit examines the text of the bill and a letter
Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne wrote in 2007 that specifically names three textbooks. “We’re not necessarily trying to take a stand on the issue. My personal hope for the UA, even though I have a stance and REFORMA has a stance, is just to provide information and for people to be able to access that information and form their own opinions,” Cruz said. The science library exhibit is new this year and explores scientists that have been banned such as Galileo Galilei. Like many books throughout the ages, the works of scientists that have stirred up controversy have also been banned. In addition to the exhibits, there will be two events for Banned
Books Week. The first event is today and will be a free screening in the Gallagher Theater of “To Kill A Mockingbird” and the second will be a documentary screening and read out/speak out. The read-out will involve panel discussion about access to a diversity of ideas and the freedom to read. In addition to the panel, people will have the opportunity to read aloud from banned books. Attendees can read from the selection of banned books available or bring their own banned book. “There’s a lot of censorship that’s still going on,” Blakiston said. “It is an issue that is worth bringing up to awareness and let them have an open discussion about censorship.”

effect does Q What alcohol have on my
sexual performance?
A. often think of alcohol as an aphrodisiac, a sure method of arousing desire in ourselves or a partner. The truth is that alcohol is It depends on how much alcohol we’re talking about. People
neither an aphrodisiac nor stimulant for sex. Having a drink or two will relax you, but getting way too relaxed may result in things not working the way you want them to. Remember that sex takes coordination even when sober, so getting intoxicated can negatively impact performance. Both males and females report an intoxicated partner is a turn-off, so you may not get anywhere – romantically speaking – if you’ve overdone it. And if you black out, you won’t even remember what happened (100,000 students between 18-24 report having been too intoxicated to know if they have consented to having sex. - Hingson et al., 2002).
r u o Y t Ea es! Veggi
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that relaxes you when used in moderation. Said another way, alcohol depresses the nerve centers in the hypothalamus that control sexual arousal and performance. As blood alcohol concentration (BAC) increases, sexual behavior increases, but sexual performance declines. This is more important for males because with a “depressed� system, it takes more arousal to make things work. Long term effects of excessive alcohol use decreases blood circulation, which in turn negatively impacts one’s ability to get or sustain an erection. Research has shown that alcohol increases the breakdown and removal of testosterone from the blood and decreases testosterone production rates. If you have a problem getting or maintaining an erection and you think it may be related to excessive alcohol consumption, cut back on your drinking for 3-4 weeks to see if the situation improves. A related effect is that we’re more likely to take sexual risks when our inhibitions are lowered. Risks include having sex with someone we wouldn’t if sober, forgetting to use protection, or using it improperly; basically, having impaired judgment. Also, 50% of student sexual assaults involve alcohol (K. Horner, University at Albany, SUNY). So use alcohol for its benefits and skip the negatives.

Pac-10 Power Rankings By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
No. 4 Oregon Ducks (4-0, 1-0 Pacific 10 Conference)
ASU Sun Devils (2-2, 0-1)
Tough luck followed the Sun Devils back to Tempe after losing 20-19 at Wisconsin in week three. The fact that ASU was even in the game after seven turnovers shows credit to its defense, clearly the strength of the Sun Devils in 2010. The offense is on the rise, making ASU a scary opponent. With ASU traveling to a struggling Oregon State, we’ll see who can get its season back on track this week.
GameDay is coming to Eugene, Ore., this weekend for the top-10 showdown between No. 4 Oregon and No. 9 Stanford. Despite having almost 200 fewer yards than the Sun Devils last Saturday, the Ducks managed to walk out of Tempe undefeated, thanks to seven ASU turnovers. Don’t expect the Ducks to be so lucky if they don’t come to play against a hungry Stanford team.
California Golden Bears (2-2, 0-1)
No. 9 Stanford Cardinal (4-0, 1-0)
Much like the Sun Devils, Cal couldn’t hold on at the end against Arizona this week. The Bears have some serious talent on offense, but they need to figure out a way to play a complete game. Getting that first conference win will depend on how quickly Cal gets over backto-back heart breakers during its bye week.
The Cardinal now has two impressive non-conference wins on the road to squeak by Arizona in this week’s power rankings. The showdown with Oregon will be for an early-season Pac-10 supremacy and will set up the winner as the Rose Bowl favorite.
No. 14 Arizona Wildcats (4-0, 1-0)
Oregon State Beavers (1-2, 0-0)
Did anyone think the game against the Golden Bears would be so close and low-scoring? You’re lying if you say you did. Quarterback Nick Foles again proved that he’s got what it takes to pull off some late-game heroics. With a bye this week, both players and fans have a chance to calm their heart rates after two weeks of drama.
Oregon State’s strength of schedule has clearly had an impact on the way this team looks right now. Wins against Top-6 Texas Christain University and Boise State would have been huge, but it seems the Beavers have gotten lost along the way to its Pac-10 opener against ASU.
Washington Huskies (1-2, 0-0)
No. 18 Southern California Trojans (4-0, 1-0)
There’s no way anyone in Seattle can be happy with the way the season has started for Washington. If there’s any hope to get the season back on track, the Huskies need to show that they’re the team that garnered all the pre-season hype at USC this weekend.
USC has managed to navigate to a 4-0 start along with four other teams but clearly has been the least dominant in its wins. A win against Washington at home this weekend could vault the Trojans back to the top of the conference and help define if the Trojans can regain supremacy in the Pac-10.
UCLA Bruins (2-2, 0-1)
UCLA got off to a rough start this season, but apparently playing Texas is easy for the Bruins. They marched into Austin, Texas, and handed the Longhorns their first loss of the season and, in the process, gained back some respect around the conference. UCLA’s defense continued to impress, and Bruins fans can now welcome the offense to the party — maybe just in time to save the season for UCLA.
Washington State Cougars (1-3, 0-1)
Washington State has secured at least a one-win season, but it’s still looking for a conference win in 2010. Cougar fans shouldn’t hold their breath though.
1-0 win over Utah pivotal for soccer’s confidence as Pac-10 nears
SOCCER continued from page 6
five freshmen, and they did it without junior leading scorer Renae Cuellar. Without counting the goalkeeper, the five freshmen make up half of the team on the field. The young Wildcats were able to sustain a clean sheet and walk away with a win after a long game that could have gone in either direction, and it leaves no doubt about the mental toughness of this team. It might not be a dominating win that propels the Wildcats into Pac10 success, but as the program looks to continue to take steps back to recognition, winning games you are supposed to win is critical. “The game could have gone either
way. It was good to come away with a win in a match where we didn’t necessarily play our best,� head coach Lisa Oyen said after the game. That’s easier said than done, especially if you consider that Arizona went the span of two full matches without scoring a goal after losing 2-0 to LMU on Friday, and the pressure of not finding the back of the net must have begun to weigh on the veterans and freshmen alike. Fittingly, it was a freshman who got the monkey off the offense’s back when Jazmin Ponce scored a goal in the 97th minute, a strike that Oyen described as a “gorgeous finish.�
Part of the source for the scoring drought is the fact that the Wildcats played their fourth straight match without Cuellar, who continues to be sidelined with an injury. It’s not to say that the Wildcats thought they couldn’t win a game without Cuellar, but knowing you can do something is half of the battle. The Wildcats now know they can win without their offensive star, and knocking over that mental roadblock against Utah makes them a little more dangerous from here on out. — Michael Fitzsimmons is a junior majoring in English.
