ASUA talks budget, GPSC relations Grad By Devlin Houser ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The Associated Students of the University of Arizona held its second meeting of the semester Wednesday evening, tying up a few loose budget ends, improving transparency and fomenting a new era of cooperation between the undergraduate student
government and the Graduate and Professional Student Council. Although the majority of ASUA’s budget was decided at last week’s meeting, the details of ASUA executives’ “operations accounts” were not resolved. The executives are the ASUA executive vice president, the administrative vice president and the student body president.
Last year, each executive received a $9,000 “operations budget,” which could be spent as the executive saw fit, after approval by the other executives and two other ASUA representatives. This year, each executive’s budget has been cut to $7,000. Another way ASUA is trying to cut spending and balance its $1.4 million budget is by requiring executives to
present their proposals to the senate 24 hours before spending any money. If executives do not provide advance notice, they must notify the senate within the following 24 hours and explain why prior notice was not possible. While senate notification is required for these expenditures, senate approval is not. ASUA, page 3
Former scouts give back
By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Believe it or not, there’s more to being a Girl Scout than just selling cookies. Former Girl Scouts and volunteers gathered yesterday evening at Ben’s Bells, 816 E. University Blvd., for the kick–off of a new UA club, the UA Campus Girl Scouts. Former Girl Scout and pre-business sophomore Laura Lelicoff formed the club as part of an outreach program meant to focus on underprivileged Girl Scouts in the Tucson community. Lelicoff said the club provided a chance for former Girl Scouts — now women — to give guidance to young women who may not be able to find it elsewhere. “I think that it is a great opportunity to be a role model for younger girls within the community and to have other women contributing as well,”she said. Girl Scouts can be as young as five and as old as 17 years old, Lelicoff said.
“Quick Girl Scout 101: the youngest girls are Daisies, a little older girls are Brownies and then we have Cadets,”she said. Lelicoff has worked closely with girls in the Girl Scout Sahuaro Council for the past two years and said she wanted to bring in more support from the UA campus. There were 60 volunteers last year and Lelicoff said she is expecting even more this year. The majority of volunteers are former Girl Scouts, she said, but not everyone. Kelsey Janet, a speech and hearing sciences junior and member of the new volunteer group, was at the event and feels it is valuable to the women as well as to the girls. Last year, Janet worked with underprivileged Girl Scouts in Tucson who were eager to learn and get involved, she said. “I got really close with the girls,” she said. “The best part of it is they really look up to you.”
council starts year By Lance Madden ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The UA Graduate and Professional Student Council held its first meeting of the semester last night in the James E. Rogers College of Law building, marking a diverse start to the school year. The hour-and-twenty-two-minute meeting covered an array of topics, mostly pertaining to internal concerns and an array of budget issues. David Martinez, the new campus organizer from the Arizona Students’ Association , spoke briefly to the 22 assembled members at the beginning of the meeting, ensuring the GPSC that he would work to help make the university as affordable and accessible as possible. ASA will be working closely with the Arizona Board of Regents’ Tuition Task Force, which recently had a graduate seat added to it, Martinez said. ASA will also be working on the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, which will involve the GPSC as much as possible, he added. “I want you to see me as a trusting source of information and as an advocate,” said Martinez, who served as a student regent on the Arizona Board of Regents from July 2007 to June 2009. A large amount of time was spent during the meeting discussing the necessity of hiring an office manager. “My biggest priority right now is getting a budget approved to get out and hire an office manager,” said GPSC President David Talenfeld . Representative Lucy Blaney, a Spanish and Portuguese graduate student , wanted to make sure the office manager would have open office hours, while other representatives inquired about hiring an office manager from within the council.

Travis concert pulls profit By Shain Bergan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Rita Lichamer/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Randy Travis performs at Centennial Hall, Aug. 22. The concert profits are estimated to have been between $6,000-$7,000.
Jeffrey Blackman
After 10 days of crunching numbers and counting expenses, UApresents came out almost $7,000 in the black for the Aug. 22 Randy Travis concert. The Centennial Hall show sold about 1,800 tickets, resulting in $75,558 of revenue in ticket sales, according the event’s newly completed budget obtained by the Daily Wildcat from UApresents yesterday. Between the $50,000 paid to Travis for his appearance, about $7,000 in produc-
tion costs and the almost $10,000 spent on advertising, the show’s total expenses came to $68,694, meaning UApresents ended up with $6,824 in profits from the show. The production costs were split between such expenses as hiring backstage personnel, enabling security and renting sound and light equipment. Because the expense amounts are not yet final, they may fluctuate slightly, but the profit will almost certainly stay between $6,000 and $7,000, said Mario DiVetta, a UApresents marketing associate.
UApresents reduces profit, stays in the black Despite losing 75 percent of its state funding due to budget cuts, UApresents has already generated more than $1 million in ticket sales for the current season, said Natalie Bohnet, executive director of UApresents. The ticket sale amounts are already 9 percent ahead of where they were this time last year. The current UApresents season CONCERT, page 7

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — No. 19 caught Michelle Duggar by surprise. The 42-year-old mom of 18 noticed that her youngest child, 8-month-old JordynGrace, was fussing while nursing. In the past, she found a fussy infant meant a change in breast milk that Michelle Duggar came with pregnancy. So she took a pregnancy test. “And lo and behold, I was just pleasantly surprised that this was positive,” Duggar said Tuesday. “I was just jumping up and down going, ‘Thank you, Lord. Here am I — 42, thinking my baby days are over — and you’ve blessed us with another one.’” Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar live in Tontitown, Ark., and are featured with their family on TLC’s “18 Kids and Counting.” Michelle Duggar said her health is fine and the pregnancy is going along just like the others — with a decent bout of morning sickness. “I am just so grateful that I have good health thus far and I’m just enjoying playing with my kids every day,” she said. “I don’t take that for granted one bit. I still have a lot of energy left.” They’re soliciting name suggestions for the new baby, who will join their family of 10 boys and eight girls. The Duggars’ 18 children all have names starting with the letter J and include two sets of twins. Along with Josh and Jordyn-Grace, the family includes: Jana and John-David, 19; Jill, 18; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 15; Joseph, 14; Josiah, 13; Joy-Anna, 11; Jeremiah and Jedidiah, 10; Jason, 9; James, 8; Justin, 6; Jackson, 5; Johannah, 3; and Jennifer, 2. They say they’ll keep welcoming more children as long as Michelle is able to have them. — The Associated Press

Last year was her first year of volunteer work. Janet went to girls’ schools every Friday and taught them all of the Girl Scout codes and rules. “A lot of girls can’t afford to get involved — they usually would have to pay dues — and we don’t charge anything,”she said. At the end of every Girl Scout meeting the girls make a wish, and one girl, Janet recalled, said she wished she could be a Girl Scout forever. “They love to be a part of something,” she said. The women who attended Wednesday’s kick-off event worked with Ben’s Bells staff members to make pieces of ceramic bells, which will be sent to New York to be kilned and then dispersed all over Tucson. Ben’s Bells is an organization that promotes kindness in the community, said Kristen Culliney, 32-year-old community development manager for the Girl Scouts. The business opened a few years ago when a local family lost their two-year-old son. The family was so amazed at the overflow of kindness from the community, Culliney said, that they started making bells in their pottery studio. “I’ve been through Girl Scouts and I will always remember the great memories I had doing it,”Janet said.“Everyone should have those memories.”

began in June when the B-52s performed at Centennial Hall. UApresents finished its 2008-09 season with a $58,000 profit, down from about $90,000 previously earned by each of the last two years. DiVetta attributed the reduction in profit to steps that had to be taken due to a down economy. The organization typically runs about 35 shows a year, but has had to scale back in expenses to stay within acceptable profit margins, he said. DiVetta stressed that UApresents typically wants to bring different genres to campus in order to appeal to a variety of demographics. Such an approach is both more balanced and profitable than just saving up for one or two blockbuster shows with musical artists that may not even be widely accepted or liked on the UA campus, DiVetta said. “It’s about 35 shows for everyone,”he said.

MAILBAG Facebook in class
While I am admittedly an “older” undergraduate student, apparently decaying by the second at the grand old age of 34, I fail to comprehend the lackadaisical attitudes of my younger counterparts. This of course does not implicate every young student as being somehow educationally deficient, yet there are those who chose to waste their time and inherently the time of those around them. By this, I mean the specific and blatant misuse of technology in the classroom. To caveat this, I am not targeting cheaters, but more so the Facebook junkies who, by apparent Darwinian nature, sit directly in front of me in every class. Although I do appreciate the aesthetically pleasing photography often displayed without forethought, and the
Michael Phelps impersonations are in no way lacking humor, it has no place in the classroom. It is understandable that the academic world has and must adapt to the wave of technology, which in itself can enhance education significantly, yet there are a few students taking liberty with the neo-academic technological transformation. I am in no way criticizing the use of computers or the Internet while in class for the purpose of enhancing education and fact finding, but merely suggesting those who feel it so pressing to Facebook during the entire class should just stay home. I will certainly miss the quasi-pornographic photos, but my attention will be far less diverted. Mike Parker political science junior

Girls, let your boyfriends play Madden; They honestly can’t help it
F
ootball kicked off to an early start for me this season. Two weeks ago I made the best purchase from the bookstore in all four years of my college career. An XBOX 360. I honestly just bought the $300 device to play Guitar Hero. Now though, instead of Alice Cooper’s“School’s Out for Summer”blaring through my speakers, I have the finest football game EA strategically crafted for the male mind streaming into my room almost religiously. Madden 10. Granted, I know nothing about football. I must admit, though, I am impressed with the game. It isn’t just the crystal-clear graphics and stadium-like environment that makes me want to reach for a cold beer, plop down next to my boyfriend and watch him fight for every yard. It’s the talent and skill behind the game that fascinates me. Madden 10 is the closest experience one can get without actually playing running back or wide receiver. It’s no wonder the phrase,“You wanna get down on some Madden?” is something my boyfriend asks quite often. Not of me of course, but to “ZonaCat8”, his little XBOX Live friend. Girls, if this sort of behavior sounds familiar, just
bite your tongue, grin and bear it. And, if you’re a guy, you may be able to blame your time spent playing on your gender, according to a new study. It turns out, men’s passion for video games comes from a deep-rooted urge to conquer and the stimulated Tiffany feeling is rewarding for them. Kimmell A 2007 study published in the Journal of Psychiatric columnist Research explains men and the long-term, open relationship they have had with video games for years. Scientists wired up 11 men and 11 women to an MRI scanner while they played a video game. The game involved competing to win on-screen territory by clicking on a series of balls. After analyzing the MRI data, researchers found participants showed activation in the brain’s mesocorticolimbic center, the region typically associated with reward and addiction. Male brains, however, showed much greater activation and the amount increased as they gained more territory. The three structures within the reward circuit, the nucleus accumbens, amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex, were also shown to influence each other much more in men than in women. The more opponents they vanquished and points they scored, the more stimulated this region became. But this was not the case with women.
Basically, these parts of women’s brains are much less likely to be triggered and stimulated the same way as men’s. This doesn’t mean women don’t enjoy playing video games; women just don’t feel the same stimulated feelings of reward as men. Allan Reiss, the director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research at Stanford University, led the research, and said that women understood the computer games just as well as men but did not have the same neurological drive to win. I’ve never been a “gamer girl” but I do remember playing Sonic the Hedgehog religiously when I was eleven on my SEGA game system and every now and then “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego” or the “SIMS” on the computer. Granted, these three bear no comparison to today’s games on the market, but they all have one thing in common: an intricate story line where I feel emotionally attached or involved with the game. Sheri Graner Ray has been a game designer for the last 16 years and worked for Sony Online Entertainment and the Cartoon Network, and spoke at the 2006 Sex in Video Games conference in San Francisco, CA. Ray argues that video game companies simply don’t understand women. Ray says female gamers need more than just
flashy objects and loud explosives to keep them awake. At one of her seminars, Ray explained a perfect example that illustrates her point. Ray watched a 13-year-old girl advance at a popular game. Instead of continuing to on to the higher levels, the girl soon got bored and quit playing. When Ray asked why she quit, the girl said,“I pulled his heart out once, why do I need to do it again?”It was almost as if she felt fulfilled early in the game and felt no need to continue on. She simply didn’t feel compelled to beat the game. If video game companies truly want to market to female gamers, they will need to provide a way for players to become acquainted with their characters, have an engaging storyline, lots of action and lots of variety. Basically girls, don’t blame the boys; blame the companies. Most video games out on the market are like bad boyfriends. They’re too involved with their own male sexuality to even try to crack the female sexual code. For the time being, next time the phrase“Wanna get down on some Madden?” comes up, just ask as few questions and take a few notes. There’s a good chance the makers at EA will get you more interested in the game, rather then just the beer and tailgate parties this year’s football season. — Tiffany Kimmell is a journalism senior.

Budget woes leading to drop in quality Dan Sotelo columnist
S
helton says “we’re not broke” when the UA vault has nothing but cobwebs in it (like Geraldo Rivera and Al Capone’s vault.) Last week, President Robert Shelton took an Obama-esque approach in confronting the harsh realities of state budget cuts. Interviewed by Daily Wildcat news editor Tim McDonnell, Shelton used a lot of words, rhetorically moonwalked by questions and pitched his own message. In all fairness, his role as president demands politicking, but the talking points were spoon-fed as if UA students were children. By Shelton’s own estimate, the UA will be in the red by “close to $100 million” by fiscal year 2012. In order to achieve a modicum of stability, about $60 million will need to be replaced, and “of course that has to come from tuition.” With roughly 30,000 undergraduates and an additional 8,000 graduate students, those still around in the next few years can look forward to an extra $1,000-$2,000 in tuition. There’s nothing wrong with paying more, as long as you’re getting more in return. Shelton’s new favorite word, “efficiency,” has been used quite creatively. Referring to the new College of Letters, Arts and Science, Shelton inferred that merging four colleges into one may reduce the need for four sets of administrative lineups. Of course there will be some redundancies, but the term “efficient” may mean four times the workload for advisers, or one-fourth the likelihood of securing an advising appointment. As tuition keeps rising, available resources keep falling. The problem with Shelton’s perspective is that he’s looking at paper and numbers. In passing fashion, he commented that “maybe
class size has to grow a bit.” With 200-300 more freshmen and a higher retention rate, class size will grow a lot. Judging by statistics in the UA Factbook for 2008, the new College of Letters, Arts and Science would house 40 percent of the undergraduate population. Within this new mega college, political science is a major that may lose the most value. The proliferation of cross-listed courses allows poli sci students to choose any number of academic pursuits. The increasing class sizes and difficulty in registering for specific courses will greatly affect all poli sci students hoping for more than a convenient schedule and a degree. Political science offers students the ability to study sociology, history, economics and other disciplines through a societal-based lens. Students uncertain about their professional aspirations can take political science to uncover their worldly interests. After a year of taking whatever is available, which students will have to do, many underclassmen discover an intellectual interest they hadn’t previously known. Amanda Miller, a political science junior, must adjust to the dire straits in class size and selection. Most interested in international relations, Amanda had to register for whatever courses she could find to satisfy her major. When asked how this type of schedule affects her academic experience, she said she finds it difficult to become engaged in the material. When taking classes she is interested in, “it’s a lot easier to read and focus on the material,” she said. Students
shouldn’t have to choose between a grade and a valuable learning experience. Beyond the motivation to learn and broaden one’s horizons, the ability to acquire a specialty within political science can be invaluable for success in graduate programs. Many of the skills needed are learned in writing-intensive courses. Staggering declines in teaching assistants have resulted in fewer writing-intensive courses, since there are not enough people to grade essays. Professor Suzanne Dovi of the departments of government and public policy and philosophy lamented the academic sacrifices that accompany our current budget crisis. Fewer writing-intensive courses will lower students’ “ability to convey written ideas — effectively, an essential life skill,” Dovi said. With overflowing classes, professors are unable to get to know their students and provide the personal attention necessary to identify their strengths and weaknesses. Professors are less likely to be able to write “the kind of letter that is neces-
sary to get students into top graduate and professional programs,” Dovi said. Shelton had half the point right when he said that the quality of education “depends on the individual.” Students must make the effort to learn the material, engage with their peers and retain knowledge, but they can’t do it alone. They must have the ability to coordinate their learning to fulfill their academic goals and graduate on time. The budget crisis threatens the quality of our education in numerous ways, especially our 6-point drop from 96th to 102nd in U.S News and World Report college rankings. Shelton himself does not believe “there is any realistic expectation of this situation improving any time soon.” Let’s hope he can treat the students like adults, even if it means telling the unembellished truth. — Dan Sotelo is a political science senior.

What’s a Smirnoff beer?
Resident assistants at Coronado Residence Hall contacted the University of Arizona Police Department about an intoxicated man who had fallen on the sixth floor of the building on Aug. 28 at 12:12 a.m. The man, who was unsteady on his feet, wasn’t able to walk in a straight line and told the officer, “I’m not that drunk.” He was also confused and didn’t know whether he was a UA student or a Coronado resident. The officer found out the man was visiting someone and wasn’t a UA student. The man became very agitated and claimed he was in the military but the only identification in his wallet was an American Automobile Association card. The man was taken to Pima County Jail and told not to return to Coronado or he would be subject to arrest on trespassing charges. The man claimed he drank between two and three bottles of Smirnoff beer, but was told by officers there is no such thing. Upon hearing this, the man recanted and said it was Smirnoff light beer.
‘My friends made me do it’
A UAPD officer responded to a call from Coronado to assist officers with a possible fight brewing on Aug. 28 at 12:27 a.m., but when he arrived there was no activity. The officer was checking the north side of the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall when he saw an unconscious man lying on a bench in front of the dorm and woke him to ask his name. The man, who sat up and was very unstable, said he didn’t know his name and didn’t think he had any identification but was “too drunk” to know if he had any. The man had watery, bloodshot eyes and there was a strong smell of intoxicants on his breath. He continued to say he was too drunk to know anything. The man didn’t know when his birthday was and said he had had three shots of vodka but didn’t know where. He kept repeating that his friends made him do it but wouldn’t give the officer their information. He said he lived in Arizona-Sonora. The man continued to say he was too drunk to answer questions and the officer identified him through identification in his wallet. Resident assistants were called to verify the man was a resident at Arizona-Sonora before the man was cited and released on charges of underage drinking.
The perils of hitchhiking
A UAPD officer driving by Campbell Avenue and Enke Drive saw two women, one with her thumb raised as if she were hitchhiking, on Aug. 27 at 12:49 a.m. The officer told the women, who were UA students, about the dangers of hitchhiking. The women told the officer they were 18 and 19 years old but had left their identification in their room. They said they were coming from a party at an apartment complex on First Street but couldn’t give the officer any details about the party. The officer could smell a moderate odor of intoxicants on their breath. Both women hesitated before saying they hadn’t had anything to drink. Another officer arrived so the women could be spoken to separately. One woman admitted to having one and a half beers. The other maintained she hadn’t had anything to drink but the officer observed signs of alcohol consumption. Both women were cited and released on charges of underage drinking.
Throwing beer: not a good way to meet people
A UAPD police officer responded to a call from the Tucson Police Department about people throwing beer bottles at passersby at the Park Avenue Garage on Aug. 27 at 2:19 a.m. The officer went to inspect the top level of the garage after someone claimed they saw people there. Broken glass and a few bottles were found on the west side of the top of the garage, but the people had already left. TPD stopped a man on the north side of Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall who fit the description they were given. The UA student was later arrested on charges of underage drinking and admitted to throwing and breaking bottles on top of the garage. He said he was out trying to meet people and didn’t know the other man, who ran away.

BP drills deepest-ever oil well in Gulf of Mexico Stoops’
wife files for divorce
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Nearly seven miles below the Gulf of Mexico, oil company BP has tapped into a vast pool of crude after digging the deepest oil well in the world. The Tiber Prospect is expected to rank among the largest petroleum discoveries in the United States, potentially producing half as much crude in a day as Alaska’s famous North Slope oil field. The company’s chief of exploration on Wednesday estimated that the Tiber deposit holds between 4 billion and 6 billion barrels of oil equivalent, which includes natural gas. That would be enough to satisfy U.S. demand for crude for nearly one year. But BP does not yet know how much it can extract. “The Gulf of Mexico is proving to be a growing oil province, and a profitable one if you can find the reserves,” said Tyler Priest, professor and director of Global Studies at the Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston. The Tiber well is about 250 miles southeast of Houston in U.S. waters. At 35,055 feet, it is as deep as Mount Everest is tall, not including more than 4,000 feet of water above it. Drilling at those depths shows how far major oil producers will go to find new supplies as global reserves dwindle, and how technology has advanced, allowing them to reach once-unimaginable depths. Deep-water operations are considered to be the last frontier for pristine oil deposits, and the entire petroleum industry is sweeping the ocean floor in search of more crude. BP needs to invest years of work and millions of dollars before it draws the first drop of oil from Tiber. Such long

Offshore oil activity in the Campeche Sound in southeastern Mexico. The region has been vital to low, abundant oil supplies that have mostly been exported to the United States. But the giant Cantarell oilfield in the sound is going dry faster than expected, putting pressure on Mexico to explore deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
waits are not uncommon. Three years after announcing a discovery at a site in the Gulf called Kaskida, BP has yet to begin producing oil there. Projects like the Tiber well will not reduce U.S. dependency on foreign oil, which continues to grow. But new technology does permit access to major oil finds closer to U.S. shores.
BP expects Tiber to be among the company’s richest finds in the Gulf on par with its crown jewel, the Thunder Horse development. Thunder Horse produces about 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, as much crude as half of Alaska’s famous North Slope. Even if Tiber produces that much, it
would still be a trickle compared with the largest oil producers in the world — the Ghawar field in Saudi Arabia, which produces 5 million barrels per day. But because it’s close to home, Tiber would be especially attractive to refiners in America, where the government wants to cut down on oil imports from the Middle East.
Mike Stoops’ wife, Trisha Nicole Stoops, officially filed for a divorce from her husband of eight years last week, according to Arizona Superior Court documents obtained by the Arizona Daily Wildcat. “The parties’ marriage is irretrievably broken and there is no reasonable prospect for reconciliation,” the documents state. The UA football coach announced Aug. 24 that he and his wife had separated with the intent to get a divorce. The court papers were submitted by Nicole Stoops the same day and were filed Friday. “This is a very hard time for us,”Mike Stoops said in a statement Aug. 24,“but more so for our two young children, as this is a very personal matter.” Mike and Nicole Stoops have community, joint and common property that includes two houses and two condominiums in Tucson, a house in Plano, Texas, along with vehicles and funds in various financial accounts, according to the court documents. Nicole has requested that the court enter an order “equitably dividing the community, joint and common property of the parties between them.” No agreements have yet to be reached between the two regarding child support, spousal maintenance or the ownership of property between them. Nicole, 33, and Mike, 47, were married on July 20, 2001, in Norman, Okla.
Arizona judge denies challenge to energy mandate THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — The Arizona Corporation Commission can use its constitutional rate-setting authority to require electric utilities to obtain some of their power from solar and other renewable sources, a judge has ruled. The commission adopted rules in 2006 requiring utilities to gradually increase their use of renewable energy sources so they
reach at least 15 percent by 2025. The requirement was an attempt by the commission to“control costs and rates over the long run,” Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Heilman said in a ruling signed Tuesday and filed Wednesday. “The availability of fossil fuels in the future is limited,” he wrote. “If affected utilities are unable to provide consumers with a low cost energy resource to provide electricity, this could lead to higher
rates in the future.” The Goldwater Institute, a libertarianoriented advocacy group, argued in the lawsuit it filed last year that the commission exceeded its authority and intruded on the Legislature’s policy-making role. Commission Chairman Kris Mayes called Heilman’s ruling in the case a victory for all Arizonans. The five-member, elected commission has always believed it has the authority to
require utilities to maintain diverse energy portfolios that include renewable resources, she said. “This decision upholds those efforts,” Mayes said. The Phoenix-based Goldwater Institute said the ruling, if upheld on a possible appeal, means consumers will face costly utility surcharges to implement the requirement. “The court sustained an unprecedented
power-grab by a renegade agency,” said Clint Bolick, the institute’s litigation director, Clint Bolick.“Unfortunately, Arizona utility consumers who are already overburdened will have to pay the enormous price.” Arizona’s biggest electric providers now rely heavily on a variety of conventional energy sources, including hydroelectric, nuclear, coal and natural gas. Several have launched new projects involving wind and solar.

Icecats hold open tryouts Head coach Golembiewski invites 66 players to vie for spot on roster By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona men’s club hockey team, led by 31-year head coach Leo Golembiewski, hosted open tryouts at the Tucson Convention Center last night. The tryouts consisted of 66 players on the TCC ice vying for 27 spots on the team. For Golembiewski and the Icecats, the process is a little different than most college hockey tryouts. Golembiewski, who does not believe in star treatment or favoritism, requires all returning players — no matter how talented — to attend weeklong tryouts. “A lot of coaches believe that seniors and upperclassmen have an automatic spot,”Golembiewski said.“We’ve never done that and I think open tryouts are the way it should be.” This unique strategy has obviously worked for Golembiewski, as is evidenced by his 600-plus wins. His teams have finished with winning percentages in 29 of 30 years. The tryouts were separated into two hour-long sessions, each containing 33 players. For prospective Icecats, the real test will begin today when fiveon-five scrimmages begin. The roster — which is expected to be full of new faces — will be set by Sunday night or Monday morning, according to Golembiewski. “We have a lot of new kids,” said returning sophomore Alex Dunning.“Our team last year, they are almost all gone. It’s going to be a completely new team.” Dunning expects an estimated 15 new players to make the 2009-10 roster and believes that at least five of them have a chance to become assets to the team next season. The Icecats’ key personnel losses include last year’s leading goal scorer, Robbie Nowinski, and shutdown goaltender and team captain Nick Boddy. “He (Boddy) is one of the best goal tenders that I have coached here at Arizona,” Golembiewski said. “He’s by far our biggest loss.” Boddy was named to the Collegiate Hockey Association’s Division 1 All-Star game last season and finished his career with the highest save percentage (.919) in Icecats history. Golembiewski hopes to find Boddy’s replacement through the tryout process, as six goaltenders

are trying out for the squad; three will be selected. Boddy’s leadership will be hard to replace, but Dunning believes juniors forward Jordan Schupan and defenseman Zach Cherney, and sophomore defenseman Geordy
Weed are poised to lead the Icecats to a top 5 ranking this season. After a disappointing 14-13 record last season, the Icecats hope to restore the winning form that Icecat fans are accustomed to. And after missing nationals three years in a row, the Ice-
cats are determined to return to the place they have called home for 21 straight seasons. “It is my responsibility as well as the players’ to start out as quick as we can,” Golembiewski said.“Our goal is to get back to nationals.”
and kick back with the boys. What did you get, anything cool? No, I didn’t get anything yet. My parents are coming down this weekend and that’s pretty cool. I’m going to see my grandma for the first time in a couple of months; every time I get to see her it’s pretty special. I’m just happy to be with my family this weekend, that’s the best thing. What’s the best present you’ve ever been given? It’ll probably have to be my first authentic Shaq jersey. I was a big Shaq fan and my first authentic Shaq jersey, my dad bought for me. I was 12 years old. I know you live with fellow offensive linemen Adam Grant and Mike Diaz. What did they do for you? They’re giving me crap every day. I’m the young guy, I’m coming back from knee surgery so I’m still new as
far as getting playing time, but I love those guys to death man. They work their butts off. We help each other when we go home, we see film, we always talk about it. I’ll see what they have for me tonight. My friends will give me a birthday beating, one smack for each year and then one to grow on. Did they hit you up for that? (Laughs) No man, I’ll fight back. I’ll fight them back. They’re big and they might get me, but I’ll fight back. (Laughs) So are you more excited for the birthday weekend plans or to play on Saturday? I’ve been waiting to play for two years. I’m just stoked to play. If I get in I’ll bust my butt and do everything I can to do my best and get back in the mix. Coming off that right knee injury are
you a little bit nervous to get back in a game and have people hitting you? No, we’ve been doing that for about five weeks now, since camp started. But the game is going to be different because it’s a different speed. I got hurt in a game so there’s a little nervousness, but at the same time I’m anxious to get back out there. On the depth chart you’re number two at left tackle. What’s the biggest key for you to contribute this season? Just to get the most experience I can. Get in the game and get coaches to trust me, learn myself. Just get them to trust me to play next year or possibly this year. Anything can happen. God forbid anything happens to anybody, but if we have to shift some guys around they have to trust me to get in there and do my job.
Q& A with Phillip Garcia
Editor’s Note: Arizona reserve offensive lineman Phillip Garcia turned 21 years old Wednesday. The Arizona Daily Wildcat’s Brian Kimball caught up with Garcia to discuss his birthday plans, the best present he ever got and what his expectations are for this season.
Daily Wildcat: So you’re 21 now, what are you going to do to celebrate? Phillip Garcia: Nothing man. Just go out tonight with the boys, get some wings at the wing spot near campus and then get ready for the game. Just be ready for the game on Saturday and celebrate after the game. I was going to say, it might be a little bit hard to get ready for class the next morning. No, we’re not going to do anything dumb (Wednesday night). We’re just going to go out and have some wings
Canadian connection Arizona soccer continuing to recruit north of the border By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT In the history of Arizona soccer, there have been five Canadianborn players to play for the program; four of those players are on this year’s team. Recruiting north of the border has picked up with three incoming freshmen — forward Kristin Strother, defender Alex Smith and defender Karli Hedlund — now on the Wildcat roster. “We recruit nationally and internationally. Being at a place like Arizona makes us able to recruit outside the United States because it’s a desirable place to go to school,” said head coach Dan Tobias. The first Canadian ever to play at the UA was Althea Jones who was recruited by former Arizona soccer coach Cathy Klein and graduated in 2005. The first Canadian player recruited by coach Tobias is current UA senior goalkeeper Devon Wharf. “Devin was the first one that I recruited; I remember she was on the Canadian national team as a goal keeper,” Tobias said. “She wanted to play in the (Pacific 10 Conference) and stay on the west coast.” Wharf, who is from Mission, British Colombia , never thought she would be exchanging the forested uplands of Mission for the hot, dry Sonoran desert. “Honestly, when they asked me to come on my recruiting trip I was like, ‘I’m not going to the desert, what’s there, there’s no grass,’” Wharf said. “But when I got here it was awesome, but the team and coaching staff also played a big role in my decision,” she added. “You have to be able to feel like you’re at home when you’re that far away.” While Wharf and Hedlund were discovered by the coaching staff through their involvement with the Canadian national team, Smith was discovered after she came to Tobias’ summer camp as a sophomore in high school. “The camp kind of fit into my soccer schedule so it just kind of worked out that coaches liked me,” Smith said. “While I was here, I took a tour of the campus and everything just kind of clicked.” Smith said the biggest challenge in her freshman year has been the Tucson weather. “The heat has been the only adjustment,” she said. “I mean, soccer is the same basically everywhere.” But despite any problems with the climate, all four players are in it together. “I played with Kristin (Strother) on the same club team and with Karli (Hedlund) on the national team,” Smith said.“We’re all pretty close and we obviously have a connection with Devin because, of course, she’s from Canada.” Tobias hopes to continue recruiting internationally as long it contributes to a winning program. “As a soccer program we have national championship aspirations in the future and we want the best student-athletes that we can get.”
Big three gain leadership roles on the tee By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
No matter the sport, every successful team needs a leader. Fortunately for head coach Rick LaRose and the UA men’s golf team, the 2009-10 team will feature not just one but three leaders. For a team that finished 30th in the 2009 NCAA Men’s Golf Championships and ranked 38th overall by the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index, leadership on and off the course is the key to a bounce-back season. Enter senior Rich Saferian, and juniors Tarquin MacManus and Jonathan Khan. With another season behind them, the Wildcats’ top three golfers are set to take control of this year’s UA men’s golf squad, aided by their experience.
“We definitely have to take a leadership role and make sure people are doing what they are supposed to at practice and also at tournaments,” Saferian said. “We need to set an example and play well and hope that people follow in our footsteps.” Saferian spent his first two seasons playing at Scottsdale Community College before continuing on to Arizona for the spring of the 2008-09 season. He ended his junior season ranked No. 210 on the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index, a list comprised of more than 1,500 golfers. LaRose’s big three all have aspirations of All-American honors in addition to postseason success. Each member of this trio knows what he has to do and is motivated to accomplish his goals. “I think me, Tarquin and Rich will hopefully carry the team and kind of
put them on our back,”Khan said.“The expectations are high and I think we’re going to be pretty good this year.” A team with five freshmen and only two seniors on the roster will undoubtedly need guidance over the course of the season, and who better than an All-American (MacManus), a senior All-Pac 10 honorable mention selection (Saferian) and Arizona’s top finisher in last year’s NCAA Championship (Khan) to take on that task? “I think Tarquin is going to take on a much bigger leadership role this year,” LaRose said. “He certainly will be our number one player and our best player going into the fall, and I think he’ll get some great competition from guys like Khan and Saferian.” Last season MacManus led the team in nearly every statistical category: varsity events played, average score per round, top ten finishes, top twenty
finishes and lowest round of the season — 63. He plans to lead the Wildcats by allowing his scorecard to speak for itself. “I’m just going to try and go out there this year and focus on my own game and lead by example,” MacManus said.“Hopefully it will be good enough to start the year off well and get a couple of wins early on.” Last year’s mediocre season was a rarity for a UA men’s golf squad that has reached the NCAA Championships in 24 of the last 28 years and has been ranked No. 1 in 13 of those years. This trio of great golfers hopes to bring championship prowess back to Arizona men’s golf. “I think like most sports, you need your upperclassmen to be upperclassmen; they have to perform like Amir Adib/Arizona Daily Wildcat it and act like it,” said assistant coach Jonathan Khan (left), Rich Saferian (center), Tarquin MacAndy Barnes. “(The three leaders) Manus (right) will lead the this year’s UA men’s golf team, hoping to use last year’s experience to their advantage. are vital to our success this year.”
