Pride Alliance gets $500 for ad

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Jai Smith, co-director of Pride Alliance, stood in front of the ASUA Senate Wednesday standing out and proud – and asked them to do the same.

His funding request at the UA student government’s weekly senate meeting topped $500, 3.04 percent of the senate’s total budget, to fund a full-page spread to inform students of the student body’s diverse gender identifications and sexual orientations.

More than 5,000 students are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered or questioning on the UA campus, according to Campus Health Service statistics provided by Pride Alliance.

The advertisement, which was approved for funding, has 400 people who have agreed to contribute their name in the advertisement, a number that grows every day, Smith said. “The very fact that I’m standing here says that ASUA supports the LGBTQ community,� Smith said, as Pride Alliance is an organization under ASUA. “Saying that groups will come to ask for funding against homosexuality is far drastically different than a group coming to ASUA celebrating diversity,� he said.

Although its budget rose by $1,000 for the year, Pride Alliance’s $500 request was granted in an 8-1-1 vote, with Sen. Jeff Adams voting against

Redesign met with hesitation Meet Your Major Fair groups booths by subject, participants unimpressed

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Meet Your Major Fair has a new look, but people are divided on whether it’s an improvement.

This year, the fair is organized according to themes, allowing similar majors to be grouped together. “I like the diversity of it (the old layout) more. I don’t think we all have to be just college of science,� said Olivia Hanson, graduate academic advisor for the department of hydrology and water resources. “Being mixed with others would be fine with me as well because that way kids get a chance to really see the different areas instead of just saying ‘Oh let’s just go to to sci-

ence’ but if you’ve got science intermixed with arts and all, I think it’s nice.�

The fair was held in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom, and each theme was grouped together in its own square of tables.

The fair generally sees 1,000 students and is put on by The Center for Exploratory Students in the College of Letters, Arts & Science. “This year, we were very fortunate to receive a Parent and Family Association grant that has enabled us to do more active recruiting,� said Mika Galilee-Belfer advising specilist in the The Center for Exploratory Students in the College of Letters, Arts & Science.

The grant also allowed them to restructure the fair by theme, Galilee-Belfer said.

“That option should help students contextualize what the options are. The goal is for students to have an idea of how things are related and what distinct majors have to offer,�

Galilee-Belfer said.

Hanson thought the square formation of the tables left a lot of “wasted space� in the middle of the square and pushed the department of hydrology and water resources table away from the center of the room. “Not too crazy about the layout because we are kind of hidden back here, but overall it looks like we’ve had a good turnout,� Hanson said.

Hanson also thought it was strange that some departments didn’t show up, leaving

Monday last day to register for Nov. election Arizona Student Vote Coalition registers students on the Mall in a last-ditch ‘voting blitz’ this week

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Monday is the last day of voter registration before the November elections .

UA Votes 2010 and the Arizona Student Vote Coalition have arranged a voting “blitz week� to register students before the deadline. Students can fill out a short form at a booth on the UA Mall, which is then given to the Pima County Recorder. “We’re just walking up to students and asking if they’re registered,� said Elma Delic, board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association and jour-

nalism and political science senior. “We want to make sure we’re everywhere on campus.�

The Arizona Public Interest Research Group, the Arizona Students’ Association and ASUA are all a part of the Arizona Student Vote Coalition.

The coalition has registered 522 UA students as of Tuesday.

The figure also includes registration from an earlier “mini-blitz.�

Gabriel Orozco, a criminal justice senior and Arizona Students’ Association intern, said the effort is effective because students are encouraged to register by their peers. “I feel that students listen to

Most out-of-state students can register to vote in Pima County without affecting their scholarships. The Pima County Recorder’s office said to check with your scholarships before registering to vote in Arizona if you are not an Arizona resident.

Delic said some private scholarships have stipulations in “very rare� cases. “We’re really cautious, especially with out-of-state students,� Delic said.

New York apartment overrun by venomous spiders The poisonous brown recluse spider is a very rare sight in New York City. So imagine one woman’s surprise upon finding the venomous creature in her sink.

Gail Ingram claims she found the first recluse spider in the sink of her apartment on Gramercy Park in Manhattan. And despite the wave of bedbugs sweeping through the city — the latest such infestation was discovered in shock jock Howard Stern’s office — poisonous spiders are a different story entirely.

Yet there it was.

“I discovered a brown recluse

spider in my kitchen sink,” Imgram told MyFoxNY. “It got stuck in pesto oil.” Ingram, who works as a nurse, alerted the building’s management company, which contacted a pest control company. They told her it was an isolated incident.

“My neighbors don’t know the difference between garden spiders and brown recluse spiders,” she said. “I fear for their safety.”

Ingram saved a voice mail message, which she claims came from Siren Management, the building’s management company, which gave her the results from the extermi-

nator: “Basically, he said it was a brown recluse spider, but he doesn’t think it’s from our area, he thinks you brought it back from Illinois or wherever you went to.”

Ingram says that’s impossible: She didn’t travel to the Midwest or Southeast, where brown recluse spiders are found. She put out sticky traps and quickly trapped two more in her apartment — and nine more in the basement and apartment next door.

EVERYONE has a STORY Segway polo player, Apple junkie

By Cecelia Marshall 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 James Magahern, a computer science junior who finds enjoyment riding his Segway around campus and playing an occasional Segway Polo match.

“Have you ever had the dream where you’re floating on air, your feet are barely touching the ground, and you glide in every direction you go?” asks computer science junior James Magahern. He experiences this sensation everyday while riding his Segway around campus.

Thought to resemble a mall cop or security guard, this Segwayriding techie gets approached daily by curious passersby.

“It’s usually always the same questions. People always ask ‘How fast does it go?’ ‘How much did it cost?’ ‘Where did you buy it?’ and ‘Is it yours?’”

Magahern recalls how he was first attracted to the innovation in 2003. His father, a journalist, interviewed a producer of a documentary called, “Ten Miles Per Hour.”

The film follows two men who quit their jobs and ride Segways

across the country. Magahern not only met the producer, who he describes as being “really nerdy,” but he got to ride the Segway.

“At that point we were like, ‘This is the most fun thing. It’s so incredible!’” he said.

“I just told myself that one day, I’m going to buy one of those. I don’t know how long it’s going to take. I’ll probably be an old man by the time I can afford it, but one day I’m going to buy one.”

After a little less than a year, Magahern had saved up enough money from different computer programming jobs to buy one.

“I was so frugal with my money and then I bought this and blew it all,” he said.

“It was $5,000 new. I could have gotten a used one for a lot less, but I really wanted to keep it for a long time, so I decided to get a new one.”

Growing up as a Mac user, Magahern says the person he admires the most is Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple.

“He is probably the biggest nerd you will ever read about,” Magahern said. “He started very young, and he was kind of poor too, and all he wanted was a computer for himself, so he designed one.”

“I was very fortunate to meet him this summer because he lives in the Bay Area. I met him at a ‘Segway

Polo’ match.”

According to Magahern, there are a lot of nerds in Silicon Valley, and he had heard of a Segway polo team in the area from the Segway retailer.

“All of a sudden I saw Steve Wozniak there, and I got to meet him and we got to talk about geeky things,” said Magahern.

Having a Segway now at such a young age is very unusual, according to Magahern, especially because everyone at Segway Polo was an engineer and “geeky guys” twice his age, said Magahern.

Magahern takes advantage of being one the few and youngest Segway owners. He often socializes with them by going onto online forums for owners who post pictures of the crazy things they do with their Segways.

When asked if he has named his trusty Segway stead, he replied, “No, I really should. It’s been really good to me.”

He says he has been into computers and technology his entire life.

“My father started me on a really old ‘Mac’ classic computer. I credit him for all of my inspiration,” said Magahern. At the age of 5, Magahern was scripting and designing his own games and applications with a computer software called “HyperCard,” which was similar to “Powerpoint.”

Magahern said it was really easy even at that age.

James Magahern, a computer science junior, shows off his Segway i2 on the UA Mall Wednesday.

Magahern rode a Segway for his first time in 2002 and purchased his own Segway in 2008. He chose a Segway over a bicycle or skateboard because of the fun he had riding one. Magahern lives 2.5 miles from campus and rides about five to 10 miles per day at a top speed of 12.5 mph.

Though both of his parents aren’t as technologically savvy as Magahern, his twin brother, Charles, also shares his fascination with computers.

“He is almost the same as me in every aspect. We’re pretty much like clones except that he doesn’t have a SEGWAY, page 8

Privacy threatened in the digital age Alexandra Bortnik Arizona Daily Wildcat

O

n April 7, 2009, about 10,000 young Moldovans charged forth, weapons in hand, and set flame to Moldova’s parliament building, after a Communist Party victory. With the utilization of Twitter, e-mail and Facebook, the young people were able to assemble quickly and leave authorities stunned by the seemingly sudden appearance of thousands of protestors.

In reaction to the “Twitter Revolution,” as it was called in The Washington Post, Internet service in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, was immediately cut off. The United States, while free of Communist reign for the moment, intends to emulate this practice of tapping into virtual methods of communication.

According to a recent article in The New York Times, “officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct ‘peer to peer’ messaging like Skype — to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order.”

“

However, just like Communism, the idea may appeal on paper, but in practice presents a dangerous opportunity for the government to abuse its power and step on the rights of its citizens.

”

Idealistically, if taking this step would aid the U.S. government in more successfully wiretapping and monitoring criminal and terrorism suspects, as it argues that its ability to do so is suffering, then inviting the government into all Blackberry conversations might be acceptable to U.S. citizens.

However, just like Communism, the idea may appeal on paper but, in practice, presents a dangerous opportunity for the government to abuse its power and step on the rights of its citizens.

Video chats, Bbm (Blackberry Messenger), text messages, Twitter, Facebook and e-mails have become as personal as letters once were, if not more so — by tapping into their content, the government would be changing the relationship people have created with these methods of communication.

College-aged students trust their gadgets, thereby burdening them with photographs, conversations, letters and intimacies that, if exposed, would create the same feelings of violation as if a stranger rummaged through their bedrooms and read their diaries.

This uninhibited trust that the younger generation has developed with cell phones, computers and online social networks widens the generational gap between them and government officials, who see it fit to gain unlimited access to the virtual world.

Many students can attest to exhausting arguments with their parents about cleaning up their Facebook profiles, using variations of their real names when registering online and being wary of what they do and say online.

Although the younger generation may understand the potential dangers of the Internet, it’s difficult to feel at risk when our society entrusts something as intimate as dating to the online world.

While the government argues the safety benefits of wiretapping the digital world, allowing it to take this initial step presents the constant fear that it could exploit this new power, attacking the most minute of issues such as locating parties with underage drinking, as many UA students can imagine from their experience with UAPD. Although there are clearly larger issues the U.S. government needs to tackle, it boils down to holding onto the small shred of privacy, real or imagined, that is possible in today’s interconnected world.

An unwinnable war

Is it feasible to run for office as a Democrat in Arizona? Taking into account the widespread distaste for Democrats, adding in the generally conservative nature of the state, and then sprinkling in a little Nogales mayoral scandal and the almost assured Republican backlash that will follow, and you’ve got the makings of an abysmal mid-term election for the Democratic Party.

The recent arrest charges of bribery against the Democratic mayor of Nogales, Ariz., Octavio Garcia Von Borstel, is the next step in the wrong direction for the public image of the Democratic Party and will likely widen the gap between them and the Republican Party.

The conservative nature of most Arizona residents already made this year’s mid-term elections an uphill battle for Democrats. Now that a Democrat has been caught bribing businesses, the Republican candidates in Arizona have all the ammunition they’ll need to slaughter the Democrats this fall. Try as gubernatorial hopeful Terry Goddard and many Democrats might to disassociate themselves with Von Borstel, the damage is already done. Republicans should be able to sit back and coast to victory this November. Jan Brewer can now sit silently at any future debate or press conference

before she bursts out with nervous laughter, all the while never answering the questions asked of her. She might even be able to get away with one or two more accusations of desert beheadings.

John McCain can continue to attack the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and the worst thing that could happen is the Arizona Democrats could return to where they were yesterday, which was still noticeably behind.

House Republican ‘pledge’ more fantasy than reality

Last week, House Republican leaders unveiled their “Pledge to America,” an outline of what they would do under a Republican majority. As usual, this document makes basic claims about reducing the deficit, repealing ObamaCare, cutting spending and cutting taxes, but offers nothing of substance. Its writers failed to mention that extending the Bush tax cuts will raise the deficit and what it

Letters from

will actually take to balance the budget.

According to Howard Gleckman of the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank, the only way to balance the budget by 2020 with the Bush tax cuts intact and preserving Social Security, Medicare and defense spending is to eliminate all other aspects of government, including homeland security, Medicaid, national parks and even Congress itself.

It’s impossible to balance the budget without raising taxes or substantially altering popular entitlement programs.

The “Pledge” offers no solutions to the huge problems currently plaguing the U.S. economy. House Republicans continue to rely on popular, yet impractical, rallying cries that sit well with voters, but accomplish absolutely nothing.

Unfortunately, most Americans will fail to look at the numbers and the complexity of the current crisis and will be unable to realize that the Republican Party will be just as ineffective and incompetent as they claim the Democrats to be.

Classmates, rom semester to semester, there are always many changes — classes, professors, the weather. One thing remains constant, though: you are annoying as hell.

Apparently you were absent from kindergarten the day we learned not to talk when the teacher is talking because you have no regard for the professor’s lecture.

Like they say, “better late than never,” so here’s your lesson for the day: when the professor is talking, you shouldn’t be. I could not care less about your weekend plans for Vegas or how hard your other classes are, so spare me the loud whispers about your personal life.

Unlike your desperate need to hear your own voice at all times, you are not doing me any harm by surfing the web instead of paying attention to the professor. It does become my problem, though, when you start laughing at whatever is on your screen. If you can’t control your emotions, then please refrain from outside distractions. You’ll be doing yourself a favor as well, because you look like an idiot when you start laughing during a lecture on the Holocaust.

The same vow of silence should be taken concerning your cell phone. In case you haven’t noticed, putting your phone on vibrate may be the only thing more distracting than an actual ring tone. At least if your phone rings, you feel the need to put it on silent. When your phone is on vibrate, you are convinced that

no one can hear it. The head turns and checking of phones by everyone else in class every time yours buzzes deafeningly on your desk is a clear indication that you’re wrong.

For those of you who refrain from the outside distractions, I commend you.

You are on my desirable classmate list. Be wary, though, because I am certain that at some point in the semester your true colors will show and you will be taken off the list for one offense or another.

An example of this is the know-it-all.

Nobody likes you, not even the professor.

Scratch that, especially the professor. You are taking a class to fulfill a need for your bachelor’s degree, while the professor is at least 10 years beyond that in schooling. What does this mean? Despite your efforts, you do not know it all. Stop trying to show up the teacher.

You can also cross yourself off the “nice” list if you have an “inquiring mind.” You do not impress anyone with your four billion questions. There’s no way you can genuinely be that interested in the topic. Furthermore, there is such thing as a dumb question, and people will judge you when you ask one. Go to office hours and stop wasting everyone else’s time.

How you handle your debilitating illness is another factor in whether or not people want to be in a class with you.

Next time you’re buying school supplies, please do us a favor and put tissues on

your list. Apparently, you are the only one who doesn’t realize that sniffling is not the appropriate method of dealing with a runny nose. For the love of Ray J, do us all a favor and just blow your damned nose or stay home from class.

The biggest offense you can commit to be the least desirable classmate is packing up early. Since you apparently lack the quality of consideration, you will be surprised to see that class does not actually end when you want it to, but it ends at the time the university denotes on your schedule. When the professor is still talking because he has five minutes left and you start shoving your shit in your backpack, you are not being sly. You are not being quiet. You are being hella annoying.

I am no finance major, but even I know that your distracting tendencies are not only annoyances but also a matter of money. Based on my calculations, as an out-of-state student, I am paying close to $1 a minute per 3-unit class, which translates to you owing me some cash money for each minute your actions divert my attention away from the professor. From now on, I am going to present you with a bill at the end of each class period. Unless you’re willing to dish out some serious cash, I suggest you shape up or ship out.

Drunk student winds up at ScienceEngineering Library

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was advised of a man standing on the east side of the Science-Engineering Library on Saturday at approximately 12:20 a.m.

Upon arriving at the scene, the officer saw the man leaning against a door in the loading dock area. He smelled of alcohol and identified himself to the officer. The officer also noticed that the man had bloodshot, watery eyes. When asked how much he had to drink, the man said he had been at a fraternity party and that he had five or six beers. He was cited for minor in possession.

Driver gets multitude of citations

On Saturday, a UAPD officer conducting a traffic stop, pulled over a car at First St. and Mountain Ave. for traffic violations at 12:37 a.m. The car failed to stop at a stop sign while turning onto First St. and then failed to stop at a second stop sign at First St. and Highland Ave. Once the officer pulled the car over, he approached the driver and was able to smell a strong odor of alcohol coming form the inside of the car. There were six other people in the car, who each admitted to both consuming alcohol and being under 21 years of age.

All of the passengers of the vehicle stated that they had been drinking at an unsanctioned party at a fraternity. The driver of the car, a woman under 21 years of age, denied any alcohol consumption. As she spoke, the officer could smell a moderate odor of intoxicants coming from her breath. Also, he noticed that her face was flushed and her eyes were bloodshot.

Two other UAPD officers came to assist the officer at this time. They collected all of the passengers’ identification cards and cited them for MIP’s. The officer then administered the walk-and-turn and the oneleg-stand sobriety tests on the driver. A preliminary breath test showed a presence of alcohol in her body.

The woman was then arrested for Minor in Possession, MIP while operating a motor vehicle and driving under the influence. She was transported to UAPD for further testing.

Once they arrived at UAPD, the woman agreed to take a breath test. She was then charged with DUI of .08 or above and DUI of .15 or above, which is Extreme DUI. The woman’s vehicle was towed for 30-day impound.

A UA student was cited and released for two accounts of having fictitious out-of-state driver ’s licenses on Saturday at 11:35 a.m.

At about 11:00 a.m., a wallet and cell phone were found by a UA Electrical Shop employee, who wished to remain anonymous. They were turned into UAPD. The items were found at approximately 6:49 a.m. in front of the Science-Engineering Library.

The officer searched the wallet for the owner ’s ID. No money was found during this search. However, there were three different driver ’s licenses in the wallet. One was from Arizona, one from Maryland and one from New Jersey. All three of them were for the same person.

The two out-of-state licenses showed the man to whom they belonged as having a date of birth that made him over 21 years of age. The Arizona license showed him having a birth that was not yet 21 years of age. A records check of the out-of-state licenses revealed no records found. The records check for the Arizona driver ’s license returned as valid.

With this information, the officer deemed it reasonable to believe the licenses were fictitious. The officer was able to find the man’s address through the UAPD records department.

The officer then responded to the address to return the belongings to the man and question him. The man let the officer come into his room and speak to him.

The officer asked if the wallet and cell phone were his, to which he replied “Yes.� The officer then explained that the wallet and phone had been found near the Science-Engineering Library. The man did not remember leaving them there but later said he remembered realizing that his items were missing when he woke up that morning.

The man admitted that the two out-of-state licenses were fake IDs. He had purchased them two months ago for $140 from an unknown person in Phoenix and had used them to buy alcohol but not to gain access to bars or nightclubs.

The wallet and cell phone were returned to the man.

He was cited and released for two counts of Fictitious Out-of-State driver ’s license.

V-ball staying focused for ASU UA focused on improvement, not rivalry

By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Icecats earned their first win of the season when they learned that forward Brian Slugocki was ruled academically eligible. Arizona will open its season tonight against in-state rival Arizona State, the No. 9 team in the country.

Hockey night in Tempe Icecats set to begin season with weekend series at No. 9 ASU

By Daniel Gaona Arizona Daily Wildcat Opening the season with a two-game series at No. 9 ASU tonight might be like jumping into a fire for the Icecats.

However, those flames might not seem as hotafter some recent good news: Brian Slugocki is eligible.

The sophomore forward and cocaptain had previously been listed as academically ineligible, but on Sept. 27, the American Collegiate Hockey Association declared him eligible after head coach Leo Golembiewski appealed.

“We were disappointed he was ineligible in the first place with that kind of fire power,” Golembiewski said. “As soon as it happened, we adapted right away and made some changes.”

Slugocki scored a team-high 27 goals and 23 assists in 29 games last season.

“With him back, it gives us a solid power forward that can shoot the puck,” Golembiewski said.

“He was the co-MVP last year as a freshman and the leading scorer.”

Slugocki said that last year was his best individual year ever, but he’d rather the team does better overall. The improved roster in 2010-11 provides hope that this year will be better, which makes him excited about this season.

“Having a year under my belt, I know more about how my teammates and I are going to play,” Slugocki said. “I’m looking forward to having 18 new guys playing.”

Defensively, freshman Steven Sisler earned the starting job at goaltender earlier this week.

Golembiewski said Sisler is a solid positional goalie and doesn’t give the crease or net away.

“I am pretty psyched because I haven’t played a college hockey game yet,” Sisler said about the upcoming season. “I’m especially excited about the home games here because of the fans and all, I’ve never played in a stadium like this before.”

Golembiewski is excited about

the three front lines he has assembled. He said it isn’t about ranking them but instead having the nine strongest players from an offensive standpoint and constantly rotating the units.

“We’re trying to go with three lines that can score,” Golembiewski said. “Not a third checking line but three that can actually put the puck in the net.”

Senior Jordan Schupan will be the center on a line with wings Jared Lowell and junior Blake Richards. Slugocki will center for sophomores Sean Sullivan and Ryan Mohr and freshman Andrew Murmes will anchor the third line in between freshmen Michael Babyak and Jeff Wadhams.

“Schupan, Slugocki and Murmes are our three centers and we want our offense to revolve around those guys,” Golembiewski said.

Junior Geordy Weed and sophomore Nick Stolz, junior Jonathan Watanabe and freshman Ryan Brinkhurst and fresh-

men Mike Basist and Kevin Allen will all pair up as defensemen to round out the rotation.

Last year ASU swept the Icecats 8-0 in head-to-head battles and outscored the Wildcats 47-18. The Sun Devils finished last season 26-9-3.

Golembiewski doesn’t want last year’s performance to overshadow this year’s. He also said it isn’t about revenge.

“We have to attack the net and try to get the puck deep and have to try to control play through possession,” he said. “We don’t teach reactionary hockey. We want our players to anticipate one another. Let’s go out there and make them react to us and try to adapt to what we’re doing.”

The team will bus up for the game tonight, return to Tucson afterwards and then go back up for tomorrow’s game. Golembiewski said a benefit of doing that is being able to make any roster adjustments that might be necessary after the opener.

Rivalries are what make sports the greatest spectacle on Earth — at least to fans. Many players and coaches, on the other hand, know that one game is just a blip on the radar of a long season.

“There’s no more emphasis, it’s the same game, the same preparation as there would be for any match,” said head coach Dave Rubio. “The value of this match isn’t any greater than the ones we played last week or the ones we’ll play next week.”

The reason for Rubio’s indifference to facing ASU might lie in the roster’s makeup. Only two players are from Arizona, and only one of those, freshman Emily Helm, is from the Phoenix area.

Senior outside hitter Whitney Dosty, a Tucson native, echoed Rubio’s sentiment on Friday’s game against ASU, but admitted that it’s hard to ignore the factthat they will be taking on Arizona’s biggest rival.

“Maybe in times before there was (a different kind of intensity leading up to the game), but now I think we’re a mature enough team to be able to treat every team the same,” said Dosty. “Even though it is ASU, and we want to give it to them and beat them more, we just keep it steady and come out and play.”

Even though her teammate and coach downplayed the matchup, Helm has feelings similar to those of most UA students from the Phoenix area.

“I think this game has a lot more meaning,” said Helm. “Stanford was a really big deal … but this week will obviously be more intense because it’s ASU and it’s always a duel between the two teams.”

She then went on to say that the rivalry is important to her for many of the same reasons that it’s imporVOLLEYBALL, page 10

No. 4 Arizona upset by No. 11 Virginia

By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat A team with national championship aspirations would be frustrated with a second place finish, and that is how the University of Arizona women’s golf team felt this week.

The No. 4 ranked UA fell to the No. 11 Virginia Cavaliers in the Women’s Golfweek Conference Challenge.

The team finished the tournament in Colorado on Tuesday. The Wildcats had to compete against 17 other schools as they tried to take the title.

“We really struggled this week as a team,” said head coach Laura Ianello. “We went into the tournament wanting to win, and I am very disappointed. We GOLF, page 10

One-third of the 2010 Arizona football season is in the books, and the Wildcats couldn’t have asked for a better start — 4-0 and a No. 14 AP ranking.

Here’s a closer look at how each offensive position group has fared through four games:

Quarterbacks: A-

Junior Nick Foles has been nothing short of spectacular in 2010. He’s proven to be a “bigtime player,” as running back Nic Grigsby described him, and has shown off poise well beyond his years.

The Iowa 72-yard gamewinning drive followed by the 77-yard game-winning drive against Cal, have Foles’ name buzzing around the nation. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound quarterback currently leads the Pacific 10 Conference in completions (102), second in passing yards (1,089) and first in completion percentage (74.5), which is also third best in the nation.

Offensive line: B-

Aside from a forgettable performance against Cal on Saturday when it yielded three sacks and a ton of pressure, the offensive line has done its job in 2010. It’s a veteran unit led by center Colin

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

David Douglas and the rest of the Wildcat receivers have meshed well to help the passing game get off to a great start. While the receiving corps and quarterback Nick Foles have passed in flying colors, the running game and offensive line have room to grow.

Baxter that played a monumental role in defeating Iowa.

Left tackle Adam Grant held arguably the country’s best defensive end, Adrian Clayborn, to only zero sacks, and Iowa’s NFLcaliber front four were silent against the Wildcats.

But the O-line has allowed eight sacks through four games, which ranks sixth in sacks allowed in the Pac-10. The run game has also been mediocre through four games, which comes from the push of the offensive line.

Running Backs: C

The running game as a whole hasn’t gotten off the ground yet, but that was somewhat expected considering the pass-happy ofFOOTBALL, page 10

Treasurer pays for $500 typo

and Sen. Dominick San Angelo abstaining.

San Angelo felt 3 percent of the budget so early in the year was a tricky precedent to set for other ASUA groups requesting funding. However, non-voting Sen. Brian Seastone, an honorary ASUA senator from the University of Arizona Police Department, and ASUA President Emily Fritze voiced strong support for the request. “Sometimes you’ve got to have the blinders off,� Seastone said. “There’s the big masses, the little masses and how (your choice) will affect the overall masses.�

The total cost of the advertisement is $2,887.60, with other funding coming from collaborative efforts with the Daily Wildcat, the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation and the Graduate Student Professional Council pending approval.

The Wildcat has a public service advertising partnership for campus groups and organizations that are charitable or promoting awareness. The Wildcat will match organizations dollar-to-dollar, up to $1,000, if they apply and are approved.

Sen. Taylor Bilby explicitly expressed her support of the request, citing that it’s not only about “what we ought to do� but that each part of ASUA needs ample consideration.

However, Pride Alliance was only one of several items dealt with at the meeting.

Julia Lovering, whose previous graphic design prowess

garnered her the coveted spot, was appointed as a second marketing director. “I’ve personally met Julia (Lovering) and I think that she is a great addition to ASUA,� Sen. Adams said.

Edits to the budget were also made. Due to a typo in August’s original budget presentation

by Treasurer Kenny Ho, former Sen. Tyler Quillin’s allocation as academic affairs director in Fritze’s cabinet read $1,000 when its actual amount is $1,500. Ho then offered to remove from his own stipends to correct the difference.

Undergraduate Council members also talked about posting past class syllabuses to help students make informed decisions when registering.

They cited that they couldn’t post accurate future syllabuses because the teacher may not be selected but could offer archive syllabuses to give a general idea of class expectations.

A bachelor’s degree in general studies was introduced. It would mirror the interdisciplinary studies major, but provide a more general education by allowing students to choose a projected 10 tracks such as prehealth, humanities and science.

It will be discussed further at the next Undergraduate Council meeting next month.

All consent agenda items from Monday’s meeting were approved, and the introduction of chosen aides took place this week in the ASUA office.

Student: Themes convenient

empty tables. “I’ve met a lot of high school counselors, which I didn’t know they came to this, and that’s really good because they are taking this information back to their students.�

Candice Curtis, a racetrack industry program senior, runs the Racetrack Industry Program table that now sits among other business related majors, appreciated the reorganization. �I think it’s easier for them to find us. I like how the things are kind of grouped together. Last year, I don’t think there was any real structure to how the tables were set up,� Curtis said.

SEGWAY continued from page 3

Many students are surprised to learn what the program involves, according to Curtis. “They don’t realize how long it’s been around and just all the different things you can do in horse racing.� Curtis said. “It’s not just taking care of the horse.�

Pre-architecture freshman Brittany Porrazzo said she had already found her major but wanted to see what other majors were out there. “I just wanted to explore.

There’s always that possibility, like what if there was something out there that was just calling my name that I would love that was just tailor made for you,�

Porrazzo said. “It’s definitely opened my eyes to the different departments in the university.�

Porrazzo thought the themes were convenient and helped students locate a major that was right for them. “It’s nice how kind of all the engineering is with engineering, sciences are with sciences,�

Porrazzo said. “It helps just for the flow and if you know there is something you are definitely not good at — say it was science or math you don’t necessarily have to go towards those things or pass by them. You can just know that’s not for me and kind of continue.�

Programs games, websites

every aspect. We’re pretty much like clones except that he doesn’t have a Segway. We’ve also been roommates since before we were born.�

There is rivalry and animosity that goes on all the time between them, said Magahern. “We’re always competing on every little thing, literally everything.

Grades, intelligence, even who can take shorter showers,� he said. “We cannot play video games together at all. It will be fun for the first 15 minutes and then all of a sudden it will get extremely competitive.�

Magahern and his brother do agree on their shared enjoyment of “Dance Dance Revolution.� “That’s sort of a thing my brother and I do all over town,— we go to all the arcades. We lived in San Francisco, Bay Area for the sum-

mer, and so we spent a lot of time touring all the arcades up there.�

While frequenting the arcades in San Francisco, Magahern also had an internship in Palo Alto, Calif. with a company called “IDEO,� where he used his computer skills to design children’s game applications for the “iPad.� Both of his applications, “Balloonables� and “Balloonables Adventure,� can be found on iTunes. “A lot of my friends have dropped out of college to start their own companies and have been successful. But I want to finish my degree so I can choose whatever path,� Magahern said. “One of the reasons it’s hard for me to pick a path between the more mathematical or creative side is I really enjoy programming, but I also enjoy graphic design a

lot. I’ve never taken any classes on Photoshop or Illustrator. When I was in high school, I was working on a lot of websites and applications professionally. I couldn’t afford to pay a graphic designer, but I knew how to program so I just did it myself and ended up really enjoying it.�

Magahern has two websites that he describes as “completed, yet not finished.� “I’m very finicky about all the little details, so a lot of people are telling me to publish it now and put it on the web, but I’m like ‘No, not yet!’� he said. He describes that when he works on a website icon, he will zoom in and notice that one pixel doesn’t look right. “It’s never perfect,� said Magahern.

“I know three or four players on the team … and I also have a lot of friends that go there,” Helm continued. “They’ve been saying that they’re going to beat us, but I’m just like ‘whatever’.”

Another reason for the lack of build-up for Friday’s game could be Arizona’s recent success against ASU — the Wildcats have taken three of four from their rival to the north, with two of the three wins being sweeps.

However, Rubio is making sure that

Weber questionable vs. ASU

Senior setter Paige Weber — who has played in every set in her Arizona career, now totaling 374 — suffered an undisclosed injury at practice on Tuesday.

Weber missed practice Wednesday, won’t practice today and will be a game-time decision on Friday.

Running game has room for improvement

fense Arizona employs. When the Wildcats have run the ball, however, they haven’t been all that successful. The Wildcats are eighth in the Pac-10 in rushing offense, with 120.2 yards per game.

Senior No. 1 back Grigsby has been solid with a 5.6-yard average on 45 carries, to go along with five scores and a 62-yard touchdown run.

But all of Arizona’s eight rushing touchdowns came in the first two games, and it has yet to prove it can run effectively against an above-average defense. Keola Antolin, last year’s rushing leader, has struggled running but has 106 yards on 14 catches.

the recent success against the Sun Devils doesn’t get to his team’s head.

“By no means should we be considered the favorite,” said Rubio.

receiving corps has impressed in 2010. The headliner Juron Criner has played out of his mind at times, especially in a 10 catch, 176 yard performance against Toledo.

He’s been limited with turf toe, but leads the team with 352 yards on 19 catches (18.5 average) and is on pace for a 1,000-yard season.

While Criner was supposed to be the bigplay guy, the jury was still out on the rest of the receiving corps. But David Douglas has grabbed hold of the No. 2 role, as he’s second in the Pac-10 in receptions (22) and has become one of Foles’ favorite targets.

Bug Wright has done his job at inside receiver — 151 yards and two scores — while catching the game-winning touchdown against Iowa. David Roberts has also impressed as a No. 4 guy, with 10 catches for 123 yards.

Disappointment at Golfweek challenge

have high standards and we were the best ranked team in the field, and unfortunately, as a team, we did not play well this week.”

Ianello praised Alejandra Llaneza, Margarita Ramos and Isabelle Boineau but said the rest of team really struggled.

Llaneza and Ramos were able to finish in the top 10, placing sixth and seventh, respectively.

“We really struggled with our short game, putting in particular,” Ianello said.

“We have three weeks before we leave for the UNLV tournament, so we will be practicing on that.”

Throughout the tournament, the Wildcats went back and forth with Virginia — even

taking a lead at one point.

“We got to tip our hats to Virginia; they kind of out battled us,” Silverstein said.

“They caught us pretty quick and lapped us with about six holes left, and we were kind of fighting it out for second.”

The next tournament for the Wildcats will be Oct. 25 - 27 in Las Vegas.

“We need more consistency from this team,” Silverstein said. “We putted awful this week. We could not have putted any worse. That’s just not acceptable. The greens were very fast and very hilly and we were not able to make an adjustment to the speed of the greens and just made it very difficult on ourselves.”
