Greeks conquer ASUA

Student researchers boost Biosphere 2 attendance

The million-gallon tropical ocean is one of the many climate-controlled habitats housed within UA’s Bisophere 2. The world’s largest living science center also incorporates such habitats as a coastal fog desert and a tropical rainforest.

Public prefers interacting with students during visits By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Research interns have many opportunities to interact with visitors to the science center by answering questions during tours and presenting current research being conducted.

Attendance at the Biosphere 2 is up 30 percent, in part because of student researchers. By focusing on visitor interaction last year, the Biosphere staff discovered that the public enjoys interactions with UA students during their visits. “We know that when they (the public) see students on campus up there that’s a real positive thing —that they tend to take more from the whole experience— they can actually articulate what’s going on in the research projects better,” said Travis Huxman , director of Biosphere 2. Ten undergraduate students conduct research internships under the guidance of Biosphere staff and five graduate students display their research at the Biosphere 2. “We are training our future scientists and future generations and providing them with the tools and the resources to find solutions to climate change challenges facing our planet,” said Hassan Hijazi director of external affairs at the

UA Biosphere 2. Huxman says students tend to have fewer barriers when interacting with the public. “The best way to describe it is something like this: if you put what the public imagines as the typical scientist in the facility —you know white coat, sort of older, professional they don’t have the same kind of interactions with that kind of a person as they have with a 20 something year old undergraduate who’s working sort of in a very non traditional way,” Huxman said. “Because of that they tend to have very, very different interactions. They have more sustained interactions, they ask deeper questions, they spend more time with those students and they are more likely to talk about sort of controversial issues of the day.” The Biosphere 2 assesses the effectiveness of its tours by taking interviews and collecting data. The UA College of Education helps collect and analyze the data. “One of our goals is not only doing good science … we have this big goal of science communication and science

“When you know someone, that is really an in,” Johanne Jensen, director of UA’s Fraternity and Sorority Programs, said when asked which Greek Life students would be best to interview. For the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, the same standard holds true. Most ASUA appointments are from within, with either ASUA or ASUAaffiliates standing a better chance than unaffiliated students. Likewise, legacy sons and daughters rushing sororities and fraternities have a much better chance of getting into their Greek house of choice.

Elected ASUA Greeks:

Emily Fritze, Chi Omega Taylor Bilby, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Kappa Psi Courtney Campbell, Chi Omega Deanna Mariner, Alpha Phi Omega (Professional) Lindsay Hartgraves, Chi Omega Mary Myles, Chi Omega Dominick San Angelo, Delta Chi

Numbers

Only 12 percent of the student population is in Greek Life. Out of the 13 elected executive positions, six members are in social fraternities or sororities. Both parties feel it is a misconception that this unites the groups in any unique way. “Many of the Student Government leaders and officers of numerous other organizations on campus are involved with the Greek community,” is

Return of the prof UA teacher makes a comeback after falling from a horse, breaking her vertebra By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT It was Sheila Pitt’s fear of horses that motivated her to ride, with the notion that if she could overcome this fear, she could accomplish anything. Her fear quickly grew to a passion, resulting in horse ownership. “After a while, a rental horse is no fun to ride,” said arts Professor Pitt said. “You want to train your horse your way and want the horse to learn how you respond and they respond to you and work back and forth.” After owning several horses, she got involved in showing and doing dressage: teaching and schooling the horses. “But every form of riding, the rider and the horse form a special relationship and

that’s the beauty of owning your own horse,” Pitt said. Every rider falls. Pitt said she considered herself lucky because in the past 10 years, she fell “maybe twice.” She tried hard to not fall and on Feb. 2, 2008, and her fall felt like it was going to be a simple one, she said. That Saturday around 10:30 a.m. she had gotten a new saddle to use on her horse Donovan. They started to trot in the dressage arena, Pitt said, when he fell in a hole or tripped on a stone and she fell forward landing on her head and breaking her neck. She realized that she could not move and an ambulance, followed by a helicopter, came to lift her to the Barrow

undecided freshman Welcome to the UA. So the first football game is coming up on Saturday, how do you feel about that? I’m pretty exited I am going to it. I got the ZonaZoo pass. Oh, you are set. How do you feel about UA pride? Obviously it’s a big deal around campus. What is your definition of UA, Wildcat pride? Wildcat pride? Sounds like just getting pumped up for the game and getting all excited and tailgating before. I’m going to hangout with a bunch of older kids before, a bunch of juniors that have experience so it should be fun. Upperclassmen definitely know how to have fun at the pregames. You seem really excited to pre-game. Yeah I’m pretty excited (laughs). Excited for the (MTV) Video Music Awards on Sunday? I did not know about that. I don’t watch TV because I don’t have a TV in my dorm so … yeah. Not much of a popculture guy? Well sort of, if I could watch TV maybe I’d be more into it. So explain this wild T-shirt of yours? The band name is Fireworks and I don’t know really anything about it, just an old creepy man with a big head. That’s pretty exotic. Where are you from? Las Palmas, New Mexico. Welcome to Arizona. I notice you’ve got your Camelbak on you are all set for the Arizona climate. I am. I bought this backpack when I moved down here. Great investment for Tucson. Do you fill it up in between classes or like at the water fountains? Tell us a little bit about that. Probably every time I go back to the dorm I fill it up. Keeps your body hydrated? Very hydrated for sure (laughs). Do you bike around campus, long board, walk … what is your preference? My brother made me a bike, yeah, so I am definitely a biker. He made you a bike? Yeah he is a big racing biker so he made me like a six-gear bike. So, that’s what I have. — Caroline Nachazel

Britney Spears’ ex-bodyguard alleges sexual harassment A bodyguard who claims to have been sexually harassed by Britney Spears is filing a lawsuit Wednesday claiming Britney repeatedly exposed herself to him and abused her children. According to the suit, a copy of which TMZ has obtained, Fernando Flores claims Britney made “repeated unwanted sexual advances” toward him by exposing herself in front of him in her home. Flores alleges, on one occasion — in a scene right out of “Legally Blonde” — “She was wearing a white lace, see-through dress. She walked over close by [Flores], intentionally dropped her cigarette lighter on the floor, bent over to retrieve it and thereby exposed her uncovered genitals to [Flores].”

The lawsuit goes on, “The incident caused [Flores] shock and disgust.” The suit then goes on to describe another alleged instance where Britney summoned Flores to her room, where she was standing naked. The suit claims, “After an awkward silence during which [Britney] just stood naked before [Flores], [Flores] asked Spears if she needed anything. After some hesitation, Spears asked [Flores] to get her two bottles of 7 Up.” One time after allegedly exposing herself, the suit claims Britney said, “You know you liked it.” And the suit says, “In addition to exposing herself to [Flores], Spears engaged in numerous sex acts in front of [Flores].”

And there is a more serious allegation. The suit claims on one occasion Britney allegedly demanded Flores’ belt, then walked in the house and allegedly twice “savagely hit the small child [Preston]” with the belt. And the suit claims on another occasion Britney fed both kids crabmeat even though she knew they had serious fish allergies. The suit claims both kids started vomiting and Spears allegedly prevented anyone from seeking medical help, allegedly telling them, “Mind your own f**king business!” The suit will be filed this afternoon in L.A. County Superior Court. No immediate comment from Britney’s camp. — TMZ Staff

horoscopes

Today’s birthday

Your favorite person faces big challenges this year. Get ideas from all group members for problem solving. Your attitude helps to lift spirits and maintain a more optimistic perspective. You still have time to pursue your own goals with flair. Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 6 — Someone close to you experiences a depressing moment. To shift the mood, offer alternative plans of action that they are blind to. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 7 — Someone begins the day in a funk. You can shift that by providing independent activities that emphasize personal strengths. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 7 — Today’s actions take place in your mind’s eye. The variety of possibilities seems endless. Come down to earth tomorrow after a night of dreams. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) — Today is a 6 — Your imagination carries you away, and that’s all right. Today you hatch new plans and wait until later to put them into action. Enjoy the process. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) — Today is a 9 — Recall a dream or create one today as you seek excitement in a relationship. Doubt falls away as you move closer. Generate and amplify the energy to build it up. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 — Where relationships are concerned, you’re on a roll this week. Continue that trend by working to balance your urge for independence with passion.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) — Today is a 9 — You begin to wonder what you were thinking when you started out. Don’t be disheartened: just re-examine the logic to get back on track. Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) — Today is a 6 — If you worry by yourself, you won’t get your questions answered. Say what’s on your mind out loud. Then listen. This provides an entirely new outlook. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — Emails or calls leave you wondering if you want to be part of the group. Define the structure and plan first. Then make your decisions. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — Your imagination has been working overtime. You may have felt a bit depressed, but now your thoughts move ahead toward logical, harmonious outcomes. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — Urgent travel requires multiple changes of plans. Act with compassion, and take care of business. Handle crucial details yourself. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) — Today is a 5 — After a few moments of pondering financial news, you shift into an imaginative sphere to create more expansive possibilities. Tell your partner.

GREEK continued from page 1

Greek Life vote gives candidates majority in Senate race

one of the credos boasted under benefits of Greek Life on the Fraternity and Sorority Programs website. However, not everyone agrees.

Elections

The biggest boon it seems for many who are a part of both organizations is actually being elected to ASUA. As in any election, having a consolidated group vote, a “niche market” voting one particular way is very powerful, Jensen said, noting the ability of those in Greek Life and those with the support of the UA’s Greek community to effectively run for ASUA positions, “especially with Emily (Fritze) being Greek this year.”

Interfraternity Council chapters:

Greek Life by the numbers:

Alpha Epsilon Pi Beta Theta Pi Delta Chi Delta Sigma Phi Delta Tau Delta Omega Delta Phi Phi Delta Theta Phi Gamma Delta Phi Kappa Psi Phi Kappa Tau Pi Kappa Alpha Pi Kappa Phi Sigma Alpha Epsilon Sigma Alpha Mu Sigma Chi Tau Kappa Epsilon Theta Chi Zeta Beta Tau

Approximately 10.3 percent of male UA students were Greek Life members and 10.8 percent of women were members, as of 2006. Thirteen percent of the campus as a whole is in Greek Life. The 46 fraternity and sorority chapters on campus that are UA recognized are governed by four councils. Students have their own relationship with ASUA that Jensen noted is different than the staff’s. But neither the president nor the communications officer of the Panhellenic council, the governing board for social sororities on campus, could be reached for comment by press time. Especially with new ASUA election codes that mandate candidates to obtain hundreds of votes before they register and run as an official candidate, it seems there might be some truth to that sentiment In last year’s elections, Sen. Mary Myles, a pre-business sophomore and member of Chi Omega sorority, received the most votes, 1,529, for ASUA senate. The 10thplace candidate, interdisciplinary senior Deanna Mariner, is a member of Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fraternity and still had to garner more than 950 votes.

Perception

“There’s this perception,” ASUA President Emily Fritze said in a previous interview with the Arizona Daily Wildcat. “It’s out there (that) people in ASUA are in Greek Life or in a professional fraternity or sorority.” She stressed that just because a student is not in Greek Life, it does not mean they cannot be involved and be successful in ASUA. One of Fritze’s stated missions as president this year is to engage students who otherwise might not think they have a place in ASUA to consider running. Fritze is also working to demystify some of the more private elements of the job of student body president through a blog.

In total, the professional, National PanHellenic Council or United Sorority and Fraternity Council fraternities and sororities who applied for and received funding garnered $14,691.92 last year, 10.6 percent of the club funding budget. No Panhellenic sororities or Inter-Fraternity Council fraternities applied for money. Between social and professional fraternities, 63 of the nearly 200 recognized clubs on the ASUA website as of Sept. 8. are Greek affiliated.

Reasoning

Since many sororities and fraternities have mandates that require students to be

involved outside clubs, some utilize ASUA as a way to be active in the UA community. “We work with ASUA with club recognition and funding, since Greek fraternities and sororities are officially recognized clubs at the UA and that is mostly it,” Jensen said. “Outside of that, whenever there is a program, (ASUA) may come to us and say ‘I have this philanthropic project. I know you guys are into philanthropy. Can I advertise this to your chapters?’” In speaking with the Wildcat about her senate initiatives for the year, Sen. Taylor Bilby, a pre-business sophomore and member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority and Alpha

Funding

The ASUA bylaws mandate that there be a liaison in student government for Greek Life and that these organizations get a piece of the club funding pie, which topped $143,000 from 2009-10 and $138,575 for this academic year.

ASUA issues S.B. 1070 statement Senators choose not to rewrite current resolution, expresses ‘stongest possible opposition to bill’ By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ASUA released a statement instead of rewriting last May’s S.B. 1070 resolution. The statement was released at Wednesday’s 12-minute senate meeting. “After having talks with people around the (Associated Students of the University of Arizona) office, including President (Emily) Fritze, I decided in lieu of writing a new resolution to simply issue a statement,” said Sen. Dominick San Angelo, the drafter of the resolution in May. In the statement he expressed “the strongest possible opposition to the bill” but after the meeting San Angelo said, “It really doesn’t make sense to pass a whole new resolution simply to clarify an existing one.” The statement covered that the legislation was simply a resistance to the legislation and not the current quality of police work by the University of Arizona Police Department.

BIOSPHERE continued from page 1

Writing and approving a new resolution was then stricken from the meeting agenda. All this occurred during the senate’s first stab at live streaming their meeting over the ASUA home website. “It’ll probably be on the senate page too but we wanted to put it where most people could see it,” said Katherine Weingartner, ASUA executive vice president. Weingartner noted that the senate is going to try and live stream their meetings every week from now, utilizing just an Apple laptop and camera. At Wednesday’s meeting, ASUA also dealt with other agenda points. The approval of the elections date was tabled until the next meeting. Drew Rosenthal was approved to the senate board, filling the last open seat. The consent agenda, decided at Tuesday’s meeting, was senate approved. In regard to senate projects, Sen. Bilby’s Tanzbodeli applications are due today at noon and Sen. Voge’s service buffet takes place today in the Student Union Memorial Center.

Program beneficial to students’ experiences in communicating

education. We’ve been trying very hard to try and get our researchers to have a social science component to what they do,” Huxman said. Matt Adamson , senior programs coordinator for education and outreach at the Biosphere 2, said students overcame the original shyness and uncertainty about in-

Panhellenic sorority chapters:

teracting with the public and now see it as their time to shine. “You need to be able to elaborate to broad audiences about what it is you are working on,” Adamson said. Adamson thinks the program is a unique experience for both the student and the public because it allows the public to talk to active

scientists while giving the next generation of scientists an opportunity to learn how to communicate their work. “Instead of doing research in the lab, it is done right out in the open,” Hijazi said. “The feedback from the public has been really amazing.”

Alpha Delta Pi Alpha Epsilon Phi Alpha Phi Alpha Phi Gamma Chi Omega, Delta Chi Lambda Delta Delta Delta Delta Gamma Gamma Phi Beta Kappa Alpha Theta Kappa Kappa Gamma Phi Beta Chi Pi Beta Phi Sigma Kappa

Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity, noted her membership in both helps her market her initiatives more effectively. One such initiatives is her Tanzb deli project, a music and arts festival she hopes to turn into an annual event to raise money for breast cancer research.

This Year

Jensen also said that her focus is on the experience of Greek Life students and dealing with other staff members to better that experience, so their outreach is limited. An example of the groups working together is Fat Talk Free Day, an initiative with the Women’s Resource Center, an ASUA funded organization, and sorority Delta Delta Delta’s, to discuss weight and body issues in October. She feels that, though Greek Life affiliation might be helpful for election purposes, it does not garner other unintended benefits for Greek members. The only funding a Greek organization has sought from the ASUA senate this year is more than $4,500 for the National Pan-Hellenic Council, a representative group which heads traditionally AfricanAmerican sororities and fraternities — and their request has been tabled for later discussion.

Craigslist a vital link between shady dealings and light of day Alexandra Bortnik Arizona Daily Wildcat

raigslist has taken down its Adult Services section, which used to allow people to advertise “adult” or “erotic” services, after a group of state attorneys general wrote a letter stating that Craigslist lives in an “imagined utopia,” where “every Adult Services advertisement is harmless until proven otherwise,” and that “increasingly sharp public criticism of craigslist’s Adult Services section reflects a growing recognition that ads for prostitution — including ads trafficking children — are rampant on it.” Craigslist’s decision to shut down its Adult Services section could, however, serve to further hide prostitutes and human traffickers. Although the ads are controversial and their availability presents a problem for protective parents and sensitive eyes, the use of the web as a connecting tool between “adult entertainers” and those who seek them puts this activity on the map, making it easier to monitor. The reality is that prostitutes will continue to seek clients, and vice versa, whether or not Craigslist and similar sites provide a means of communication. To attempt to eliminate prostitution, pimps and trafficking would be a futile effort. Idealistically, these services should not be accessible at all, or only to those adamantly searching for it, not those who Google “Craigslist massage chair” and find a discreet suggestive message about how much an hour-long rubdown will cost. In order to reach this ideal balance of keeping track of the activity while also censoring it, Craigslist will, as of now, eliminate the actual section Adult Services but not the ads themselves. Instead of placing all the ads under one organized section, “we would be dispersing them to other parts of the site,” Jim Buckmaster, CEO of Craigslist, told The Wall Street Journal. Although many argue that running these advertisements only creates a forum for traffickers and sexual abusers to flourish, allowing these advertisements to run is — ironically — a form of controlling this behavior by exposing it and making it easier to monitor. The letter from the attorneys general stated that the Adult Services section should be shut down to “end the misery for the women and children who may be exploited and victimized by these ads.” The exploitation and victimization of these people will become entirely invisible without the advertisements. Trafficking and sexual abuse are not activities to be condoned or supported, and that is why the advertisements should continue to run. The infamous “Craigslist Killer” case involving Philip Markoff, who answered Julissa Brisman’s ad in the erotic services section of Craigslist, proved the benefits of allowing these advertisements. Markoff arranged to meet Brisman at the Marriott Copley Place in Boston in April 2009, where he allegedly killed her. The charges against Markoff were dropped when he committed suicide inside a Boston jail cell. Without Brisman’s ad on Craigslist, her whereabouts and with whom she interacted with would be untraceable. Markoff could have found another young woman to kill, one whose location may have remained unknown for much longer. Prostitution is a dangerous business and women involving themselves in it are safer when their business is documented. Furthermore, Craigslist now charges fees for placing an ad in the Adult Services section so as to enhance traceability through credit card transactions. The battle is constant and comes full circle — to allow the ads is to support this behavior and to remove them is to make it impossible to monitor. Strip clubs and adult sex shops, while controversial, still exist with set of rules and appropriate conduct. Clearly this behavior is innate in our existence and will continue regardless of its lack of morality or acceptance in society. Fighting it completely and removing it from society’s radar would be turning a blind eye. Our best bet is putting prostitution and businesses associated with it on the map, enabling them to be vulnerable to suspicion and legal interference. — Alexandra Bortnik is a creative writing junior.

Letters from

Mallory Hawkins Arizona Daily Wildcat

self-proclaimed ladies’ man t’s time to update your swagger. I have been at the UA for four years now and have been subjected to your tricks too many times. I may have been fooled once or twice, but after a while your antics become predictable and laughable. Make a man move and step your game up. This can easily be broken down to a simple three steps, so even the densest men can figure it out. Step One: Get the attention of a girl. No, you may not have my phone number if you forgot yours. I’m not tired because I haven’t actually been running through your mind all day. Guys who use this trash can’t actually be serious about trying to get with a girl. Try using a pick-up line that makes you sound intelligent. Or better yet, skip the pick-up line and just ask me a question that doesn’t involve whether my father was a baker. Additionally, I don’t know where men got the impression that girls like to be called by pet names. Nothing makes us feel more uncomfortable than a “shawty,” “baby girl,” or “honey,” when you’re trying to pick us up. Stop making up names for women and just ask for our real names. I tend to respond much better to Mallory anyway, and I am sure most women would agree. On a final note, let me tell you an ineffective way to get girls to drop their panties — honking, shouting or whistling from your car. No girl in the history of the world has been turned on by this. Step Two: Make it about her. Talking about yourself is not going to score any points. If you insist on talking about yourself, you better have a damn good

story. Saying you are a member of a given fraternity or play a sport for the university is good enough for a groupie or jerseychaser — but beyond that, any girl with class will need at least a little substance. Other no-no’s to remember: an ineffective means of getting laid is the direct booty grab approach. A purposeful and unexpected booty grab just rubs me the wrong way, no pun intended. Furthermore, girls are not interested in feeling your “please let that be a cell phone in your pocket” against their back. So, please, refrain from approaching us on the dance floor and grinding into our backside. Could you be any more tacky? I know that up to this point you have read and thought, “Hey, I do all of this, but I don’t come off as this desperate or predictable. All of the honeys are into me.” Chances are, you’re correct; all of the honeys with butterfly tramp stamps and STDs do respond well to you. That does not make you a ladies’ man; it just makes you similar to a garbage man, in that you both pick up trash. I’ll try to give you the benefit of the doubt, though; maybe some of these things work for you. If so, you should feel blessed. I would also bet on the fact that you have some other redeeming quality(s) such as charm, charisma or a smokin’ hot bod. If nothing else, you have a jersey, helmet or guitar. I do, however, have one more test for you. You may have mastered the smooth talk, but do you have the moves? As in most arenas in life, many can talk the talk, but only a few can actually walk the walk. Step three: Hooking up. In terms of making out, there are a few things that a real

ladies’ man would never consider, but I am positive the majority of UA guys do anyway. Nibbling or biting can be hot if executed correctly. Unfortunately, this translates to gnawing or chomping in too many cases. I like my lips, ears and other extremities, and intend on keeping them intact. If you are going to try to feel me up during the process, you’d better know what you’re doing. A guy your age, ladies’ man or not, should know how to take off a bra. Stop fumbling and get it right. Mastering the hook and eye will open up a whole new world, or if nothing else, it will open some bras. I would think this last one would be a given but one can never assume. So let me just say: The biggest way to soil your ladies’ man reputation is early ejaculation. Although the YouTube video popularized the phrase, jizzing in your pants is always a no-go. Trust me, nothing screams inexperienced and lame like asking for a napkin because our grinding led you to ejaculate. If you have this problem, handle your business once in the shower before you head out for the night. At this point, I have mentioned something you are guilty of doing. Wonder how I know? No, it isn’t because we have hooked up before; don’t flatter yourself. I actually just know a girl who knows a girl who knows a girl who was drunk and mistakenly fell for your charm. Needless to say, when she woke up the next morning, she told every girl she could about your pathetic moves. — Mallory Hawkins is a communication senior.

Zona Zoo ‘seamstresses’ take the limelight

A video on the ESPN website features an interview with head Arizona football coach Mike Stoops about why our student section is so great. He humorously admits, “It sometimes can be a little distracting to our players, seeing some of the outfits.” Finally. The UA’s student section seamstresses are finally getting the recognition they deserve. We’ve always known that the talented and creative modification of Zona Zoo T-shirts into cleavage-exposing strapless dresses (or equally burlesque arrangements) is an honored craft that finds new apprentices every year. It’s heartwarming to know that these outfits continue to be so revealing that a grown man makes note to acknowledge them during an interview for national television. Outfits made from ripped sleeves and safety pins will undoubtedly be key players in this year’s presentation, with special care taken to eliminate as much material from the original shirt as possible without making the seamstresses liable for an

indecent exposure ticket from the UAPD. Unfortunately, it is likely that only Iowa, Berkeley and Oregon State players will get a full view from the Zona Zoo’s “bend and snap” brand of school spirit as they usually start to wear jackets by October. What a shame. Keyword: “shame.” — Remy Albillar is a senior majoring in English and creative writing.

UA turncoats need to shed their competitors’ duds

Enough is enough. The University of Arizona’s colors are cardinal red and navy blue and our logo is a block “A” — so stop wearing other schools’ merchandise. Far too many students flood this campus on a daily basis wearing the colors and logos of other universities, especially other Pacific 10 Conference schools. Whether it’s California rejects wearing USC shirts and Cal hats, or Oregon outcasts looking for some sunshine sporting a Donald Duck Oregon shirt, these misplaced “fans” are everywhere and this has gone on for far

too long. These students seem to have forgotten that they chose to be a Wildcat and not a Bruin. The UA obviously had something more appealing to them, or they couldn’t get into their “favorite” schools and now they study here yet choose to bear another school’s merchandise. The UA either outbid the other schools in the financial department, or actually accepted these geographically confused students into the school, and it’s time those students put to rest the “Go (insert other school mascot here)” shirts. Put on something else; you go here, so rep here or don’t rep at all. — Storm Byrd is a political science sophomore.

Minor drinking near frat house

A University of Arizona Police Department officer made contact with a man on Aug. 28 as he was exiting a fraternity on campus, swaying side to side. The officer noticed the man had numerous symptoms of intoxication: he smelled of strong intoxicants, had watery bloodshot eyes and his speech was confused as he mumbled repetitively. The officer cited him for minor in possession and released him.

Marijuana in a passengerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backpack

As a car drove in the opposite direction down a oneway street, a UAPD officer activated the emergency lights on his patrol car to stop the vehicle at around 1:40 a.m. on Aug. 28. The UAPD officer approached the car head-on, and the driver brought the vehicle to a stop before colliding with him. Then the car began to reverse away from the police car, going in the wrong direction. The officer initially ordered the driver to stop using his public address system. The driver didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop, and kept on reversing towards an intersection behind him. Again, the officer used the public address system as well as several siren bursts to tell him to stop. The driver continued until about 100 feet from of the intersection. Two additional UAPD officers came to help. The first UAPD officer made contact with the driver at the spot he had stopped and could immediately smell marijuana coming from the inside of the car. It was masked by cigarette smoke, but the officer smelled the odor of fresh marijuana, rather than in its burning form. The man driving the vehicle said that he had been confused about what the officer wanted him to do at the time that he turned on the police car â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency lights. He also said he did not know that he was traveling in the wrong direction on a one-way road and that he could not hear the officer telling him to stop the car. The officer observed no signs of impairment when he spoke to the man. One of the four passengers was sitting in the seat directly behind the driver smoking a cigarette and rambling his words as he spoke. This man seemed to be intoxicated. A strong smell of alcohol was coming from his mouth and he had red watery eyes. He admitted to have been drinking. The officer had everyone exit the vehicle so he could search it for contraband, due to the strong smell of fresh marijuana from the car. As the passenger slurred his words and stepped out, the officer noticed he had been sitting on two unopened beer cans and a black backpack was on the floor at his feet. Three other passengers also stepped out of the vehicle, two of which were only sixteen years old. UAPD searched the backpack and found two more unopened beer cans, nine plastic bags of marijuana and a glass smoking pipe with marijuana residue. The passenger who had been sitting behind the driver claimed ownership of the backpack and stated that everything inside of it was his. He told UAPD what kind of marijuana each bag contained, referring to it as hydro or regular and whether it was good or bad. All of the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements were made without any officers asking him questions. The officers read him his Miranda Rights and he said he wished to speak to a lawyer before admitting to anything. The officer â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s did not ask him any further questions. The man was placed under arrest for a confirmed Tucson police warrant, minor in possession, possession of marijuana for sale â&#x20AC;&#x201D; due to the way each amount of marijuana was individually packaged â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and possession of drug paraphernalia. The man was cited and released. The officers searched for incident to arrest for the felony charges and found another plastic bag of marijuana in his front right pants pocket. They also found $64 in his front left pocket of his pants. The man was transported to Pima County Jail for booking.

Minor in possession

Three men were stopped near the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall after a UAPD officer noticed them leaving the dorms and bumping into each other as they walked. The officer smelled a strong odor of alcohol as he approached them. The men identified themselves with CatCards. They had their Miranda Rights read to them and were interviewed separately. One of the men said they were roommates and had been drinking together in their dorm room. He stated he drank two beers and a shot of vodka. He had a slight odor of alcohol to his breath and bloodshot eyes. The second and third men, when interviewed individually, also said that they drank two beers and one shot of vodka each. All three of the men were cited and released for minor in possession.

Artist’s recovery, personality represented in printwork

RETURN continued from page 1

Neurological Institute in Phoenix. She does not remember any of the following events; the next thing she remembers is waking up from surgery and having limited movement. Pitt believes that her vertebra was screwed together during surgery and that she did not cut her spinal chord. “It is what it is, it’s done,” Pitt said as she explains that she never looked into the technicalities of her surgery. She remembers being surprised listening to the doctor when he told her that she was quadriplegic, but she said she has always been optimistic about her recovery. “Yesterday I walked 340 feet in my braces, that’s almost the size of a football field,” Pitt said. She said the goal is to build up her muscles so she will not need the braces. Pitt said that she always drew, but did not take herself seriously as an artist until her 40s. She then decided to get her graduate degree in printmaking, which is her favorite medium to work with. Her focus, relief printmaking, involves cutting

into a surface with a tool that causes the cuts you make to appear white in an image and whatever is left becomes black. You ink the surface, put a piece of paper over it and run it though the press and then see a result. Pitt explains that her printmaking now is very different because she cannot use her arms and hands. She works with a computer pad that allows her to draw on the computer. She has an assistant who helps her with Photoshop, which they use to enhance and erase parts of the image. Then once she is satisfied with the image, they print it out and use a photo process. She began teaching at the UA in 1987. She admits to being a tough professor and even “brutally honest” at times, but she has the student’s best interest in mind. “They aren’t here to hear how good they are, they are here to find out how to get better,” Pitt said. The Disability Resource Center, the Art department Head and her family have all been very supportive of

her, which has made her life a lot easier she said. Her favorite artist is painter and printmaker Jim Dine. Pitt said his attitude is “you do whatever it takes to get it done,” and this is an attitude she relates to. “Looking Back” a horse print that hangs on the wall of her office above her desk was done before her accident. It was part of a portfolio that had the theme of machinery and technology. She used the horse here as a symbol of industrialization, rather then leisure. The horse wears armor and is portrayed as a rocking horse, not being able to go anywhere. Now, her images relate more to her and her injury. “Body Cast in the Garden” shows the cast of her body that was used for the braces that she walks in now — it was laser compression computerized. She has a big garden at home so surrounding the cast is her favorite flower, an Agapanthus. “The Collar” portrays a 17th century dog collar, which is symbolic of the collar she had to wear for eight weeks in recovery. “Each print has its own personality” Pitt said.

Weary of drug war, Mexico debates legalization McClatchy-Tribune MEXICO CITY — A debate about legalizing marijuana and possibly other drugs — once a taboo suggestion — is percolating in Mexico, a nation exhausted by runaway violence and a deadly drug war. The debate is only likely to grow more animated if Californians approve an initiative on Nov. 2 to legalize marijuana for recreational use in their state. Mexicans are keeping a close eye on the vote, seeing it as a bellwether. “If they vote ‘yes’ to approve the full legalization of marijuana, I think it will have a radical impact in Mexico,” said Jorge Hernandez Tinajero, a political scientist at the National Autonomous University. Discussion about legalization flew onto the agenda last month, the outcome of President Felipe Calderon’s pressing need to win more public support for waging war against criminal organizations profiting hugely from drug trafficking. As he held a series of open forums with politicians and civic leaders about faltering security, Calderon suddenly found himself amid a groundswell of suggestions that legalization — which he described as “absurd” — should be considered. Among those throwing their weight behind legalization was former President Vicente Fox, a member of Calderon’s own conservative National Action Party.

attention

“We should consider legalizing the production, distribution and sale of drugs,” Fox wrote on his blog during the series of forums. “Legalizing in this sense does not mean that drugs are good or don’t hurt those who consume. Rather, we have to see it as a strategy to strike and break the economic structure that allows the mafias to generate huge profits in their business.” Calderon immediately said Mexico couldn’t act on its own to legalize. “If drugs are not legalized in the world, or if drugs are not legalized at least in the United States, this is simply absurd, because the price of drugs is not determined in Mexico. The price of drugs is determined by consumers in Los Angeles, or in New York, or in Chicago or Texas,” he said. Such public debate would have been largely unthinkable a few years ago. Since Calderon came to office in late 2006, however, a national gloom has descended on Mexico from unending cartel violence and a death toll topping 28,000. The grim mood has provided fertile ground for public figures who think that legalization would undercut the power of the drug cartels. Among them are business tycoons such as billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who controls broadcaster TV Azteca, and retailer Grupo Elektra. With his own pro-legalization statement, Fox aligned with another former president, Ernesto Zedillo, who suggested last year that

prohibition isn’t working. Still, several analysts said debate about legalization — coming most strongly from the political left — was an attempt to needle Calderon as much as an exploration of whether legalization is feasible. Edgardo Buscaglia, an expert on Mexico’s criminal syndicates, said Mexico’s government is too weak to legalize and regulate narcotics and marijuana. “You need to have regulatory capacity in place,” he said. “Mexico does not even have the capacity to regulate its pharmaceutical products.” Without a better framework, any move to take away penalties for narcotics would “amount to a subsidy to drug organizations,” he said, as prices and demand remain buoyant for illegal narcotics in the U.S. and other countries. Legislators in August 2009 quietly decriminalized the possession of less than 5 grams of marijuana, the equivalent of about four joints. Tiny amounts of cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, LSD, and methamphetamine also are no longer subject to criminal penalties. Further measures have been blocked, however, such as one before two committees of the Chamber of Deputies to permit the use of marijuana for medical purposes, as 14 U.S. states allow. Others have been put before the Senate, the legislative assembly of Mexico City and before a local congress in the state of Mexico. Hernandez Tinajero said he thinks that

Mexican society may not be ready for such moves, but that the California initiative on marijuana would impel debate further. “Whatever the result may be, it will have a positive impact on Mexico,” he said, and give way to a “a far more serious discussion.” Experts said they can’t fully weigh arguments about the impact that legalization of marijuana in California might have on this country of 111 million, or whether steps toward legalization here would weaken drug syndicates. That’s because so little is known publicly about the revenue streams of cartels, the extent of production of marijuana, crystal meth and heroin, and the range of revenue from other criminal enterprises. Counternarcotics officials say several Mexican cartels, particularly the Familia Michoacana, are deeply involved in marijuana production and sales in California. Alex Kreit, an expert on drug law at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, said the fallout from Proposition 19, whichever way voters lean, might not be immediate. Opinion polls show a near toss-up over whether voters will approve or reject it. If the initiative passes, it would have an impact only in localities that take steps to permit the cultivation, distribution and sale of marijuana, he said. “If this passes, it doesn’t mean that all of a sudden that people who are growing marijuana in large amounts are going to be doing so legally,” he said.

BP investigation cites multiple failures, but not well’s design McClatchy-Tribune WASHINGTON — A BP internal investigation released Wednesday concludes that eight key factors contributed to the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, including a poor cement job by Halliburton and the failure by Transocean workers to notice for 40 minutes that oil and gas were gushing into the well. BP’s probe acknowledges that a key BP official aboard the rig misinterpreted a critical pressure test and then mistakenly authorized the removal of heavy drilling mud — the only impediment to gas and crude oil surging up the well’s drill pipe — before the well’s integrity was confirmed. The investigation concluded, however, that the well’s design was sound and didn’t contribute to the explosion, which killed 11 rig workers and sent more than four million barrels of oil spewing into the Gulf over nearly three months — the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Both Halliburton and Transocean immediately denounced the conclusions. “This is a self-serving report that attempts to conceal the critical factor that set the stage for the . . . incident: BP’s fatally flawed well design,” Transocean said in a statement. “In both its design and construction, BP made a series of cost-saving decisions that increased risk — in some cases, severely.” BP’s critics in Congress also took a dim view of the report. “Just as the environmental damage did not end with the capping of BP’s well, this company-run investigation is not the end of the inquiries into the BP oil spill,” said Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. “This is not BP’s mea culpa. Of their own eight key findings, they only explicitly take responsibility for half of one. BP is happy to slice up blame, as long as they get the smallest piece.” Kieran Suckling, the executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity, echoed Markey’s sentiments. “BP’s internal investigation doesn’t pass the smell test,” Suckling said. “BP is well aware that hundreds of lawsuits and tens of billions of dollars in fines rest on determining who is to blame and whether they were criminally negligent. This report bends over backwards to spread the blame around, conceal BP’s financial interest in cutting corners, and avoid any hint of criminal liability.”

Outgoing BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward defended his company. “It is evident that a series of complex events, rather than a single mistake or failure, led to the tragedy,” he said in a statement. “Multiple parties, including BP, Halliburton and Transocean, were involved.” Hayward added: “Based on the report, it would appear unlikely that the well design contributed to the incident, as the investigation found that the hydrocarbons flowed up the production casing through the bottom of the well.” The report provides a timeline and some critical new information about the disaster, including a finding that a critical safety device, the rig’s blowout preventer, probably failed to seal the well because the initial explosion severed its links with the rig’s control room. The report also may raise new questions about how much oil spewed from the well, especially in the first days of the disaster. In the minutes just before the explosion on April 20, the report said, the well was “unloading at an average rate of approximately” 60 to 70 barrels a minute — a flow rate equal to between 86,400 and 100,800 barrels a day. BP initially said the well was leaking 1,000 barrels a day. The most recent government estimates place the daily flow rate at 62,000 barrels in the early days of the spill, decreasing to 53,000 barrels just before the well was capped July 15. The report, conducted by Mark Bly, BP’s head of safety, said the eight key failures that led to the explosion and spill include: _ Inadequate cement at the bottom of the well that failed to block hydrocarbons from leaving the reservoir and flowing up the production casing. Incorrect interpretation by BP and Transocean workers of a negative pressure test that should have prompted further questions about the well’s soundness, but didn’t. The failure of the Transocean rig crew to recognize and respond to the influx of hydrocarbons into the well until the hydrocarbons were in the riser and rapidly flowing to the surface. The report says the first indication that something was amiss came at 8:58 p.m., but that no action was taken to control the hydrocarbon flow until 9:41 p.m. After the well-flow reached the rig it was routed to a mud-gas separator, which caused gas to be vented directly on to the rig instead of diverting it overboard.

Linebackers grow on, off field Tranfers Earls and Vassallo spearheading new opportunity together

“I heard they get pretty crazy and pretty nuts so I’ll probably be a little nervous going into the first home game,”Earls said. “They get pretty rowdy which will help us get more excited, more pumped up to play for them.” For most players in their situation, the bright lights of the first Wildcat home game could be rattling. But Earls and Vassallo have the comfort of taking on the challenge together, not just as fellow starting linebackers, but also as roommates and friends. “Our assignments are a little bit different but at the end of the day I have someone who I can just go knock on his door if I have a question about something and he can do the same thing,”Vassallo said. “When we leave McKale, the night’s not over,” he added. “We can sit down and talk about it ourselves or go over everything. It’s good to have him there.”

Wildcats soccer gets defensive Head coach Lisa Oyen stresses ‘D’ during week of practice By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat After letting eight goals into the back of the net in its first two matches, the Arizona Wildcats soccer team rebounded to record a solid defensive effort that resulted in its first draw and win of the season – a 1-1 tie against NAU and 4-2 over Cal Poly last weekend. Arizona’s back four displayed a strong week-to-week progression that was instrumental in the Wildcats’ successful second weekend, using better communication and strong, physical play to foil offensive attacks “That defensive group is the backbone,” said head coach Lisa Oyen. “They set a standard and give a bit of confidence to the entire team.” Arizona showcased a more complete game last weekend, one that flashed glimpses of the potential that Oyen sees from her team during training before matches. With a talented group of forwards and midfielders that can create shots, scoring goals is not the main focus of concern for the 2010 Wildcats — it’s preventing them. “Your back four and your goalkeeper probably have to be the most important part of the field,” said senior midfielder Macke Mutz. “Just getting them confident and comfortable is the most important thing.” The importance of defense to Arizona’s success this year doesn’t just stop at the ability to prevent opponents from scoring. “The more we deny our opponents’ chances the more risks we can take on offense,” Oyen said. In Sunday’s win over Cal Poly, the Wildcats were churning as one unit, with the offense benefiting from defensive stops and quick releases that allowed Arizona’s offense to catch the Mustangs off-guard on the other end. “I think the other part is we are preventing shots,” Oyen said, “but as soon as we get the ball we’re looking to release up top, so the communication with our back four was much better.” The Wildcats brave a rigorous non-conference and Pacific 10 Conference schedule, and Oyen acknowledged that she expects to be tested each match, and keeping the defense sharp would remain a focal point for the rest of the year. “To have that group be consistent in every

V-ball tries to avoid lull The Arizona volleyball team’s first two tournaments of the season had big-time opponents to test itself against — Notre Dame in the Shamrock Invitational, and Lousiville in the Wildcat Classic. When the Wildcats head to Reno, Nev., to take part in the Wolf Pack invitational on Friday, they will be the team that other schools use as a measuring stick. “Even though this tournament doesn’t bring the powerhouse teams as we saw against Cal Poly, if you let your guard down or don’t stay focused for an extended period of time you can still drop a match,” said head coach Dave Rubio. “We can’t afford to do that. I’m just worried about us playing well. If we play well, winning takes care of itself.” Because of the lack of elite competition in the next two tournaments, looking ahead to play in the Pacific 10 Conference — which is one of the nation’s elite volleyball conferences — may become an issue.

Junior college transfers Derek Earls and Paul Vassallo both came to Arizona with few relationships formed and zero experience as Division I linebackers. But after five weeks of training camp, experience from practices and a blowout win, Earls and Vassallo have found stability in each other. “It’s always nice to know someone else is going through what you’re going through,” said Vassallo, a junior transfer from Sierra College in Rocklin, Calif. The pair of linebackers, roommates and now close friends are embarking on a remarkably similar journey. “It was weird, the first time we met was the first day I moved in,” Vassallo said. “So it’s like we were just thrown into the situation and it turns out we were a lot alike so it’s been a good situation.” Both Earls and Vassallo leaned on each other during training camp and leading up to the Toledo game — a contest in which both shined, Vassallo with 10 tackles and Earls snaring an athletic one-handed interception. After waiting in the balance for two seasons, the duo has finally made it to Division I football and has its sights set on relishing the opportunity. “We always say to go out and show what we can do and just have fun and do our job and it’s our time to shine and show them what we can do and why we came here,” Earls said. Before the Toledo game. Earls had never played in a game with more than 1,000 fans before his transfer from North Dakota State College, . The attendance for the Toledo game was 25,907. “I mean, North Dakota, not a lot of people out there,” Earls said. “Kind of a small town. Every once in a while we’d break maybe 500 or so.” In a town with a population of less than 60,000 people in Rocklin, Vassallo experienced a somewhat similar atmosphere. The Reno, Nev., native walked on at Nevada before transferring to Sierra College, but still never played in front of a crowd with more than “two or three thousand.” Both Earls and Vassallo spoke of the

tremendous atmosphere of Toledo’s Glass Bowl as it featured about 25 times as many fans as the transfers are accustomed to. But Arizona Stadium is an entirely different monster, and the sight of nearly 60,000 screaming fans the duo will see Saturday night at 7 against The Citadel is a far cry from the small-town feel of junior college football.

game is going to be key, because we’re going to be tested in every game,”Oyen said.

Freshmen make immediate impact

With a total of 12 freshmen on the roster, Arizona is counting on its youth to win games, and win games now. The young Wildcats won’t have much time to adjust to the collegiate game as they pay tough non-conference games early on, but if last weekend was any indication, the freshmen seem ready for the challenge. “To see those freshmen step in and not even really think about it, to not have those nerves and just go out and play … they want to be good and they want to be good now,” Oyen said. If the freshmen had any butterflies about playing soccer at college level, they haven’t showed it so far. Both Mutz and senior Alex Davis have watched what look like veterans since the first day of training, and their seam-

less transition has helped the returners feel comfortable with the newcomers on the field. “Ever since pre-season they’ve killed it,” Davis said. “It’s really good to see them comfortable with us and comfortable on the field, and it’s really showed in the past couple games.” “They pushed us almost, them being excited to play makes us excited to play,” Davis added.“They have integrated so well.” Friday night against NAU, freshman Jensen Skinner clutched up and buried a game-tying goal in the 88th minute to lift the Wildcats to a hard-fought draw. Against Cal Poly, the future looked even brighter when freshmen Ana Montoya and Jazmin Ponce both sent shots to the back of the net, and Gabrielle Lindeman assisted junior Renae Cuellar on the first of her two goals. “Their maturity is shining through and we know that they can play at this level,” Davis said.

Sizing up The Citadel Bulldogs keep defense honest with tripleoption offense By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat The UA football team opens its home season against The Citadel Bulldogs on Saturday at 7 p.m. While the date and time of the Wildcats home opener has been known since the schedule dropped, the bigger question has been Arizona’s opponent. So who, or what exactly, is The Citadel? The Citadel — known as “The military college of South Carolina” — is an FCS squad making the longest trip in its programs history to meet Arizona for the first time. The academy was founded in 1842 in Charleston, South Carolina and the school’s total enrollment is less than half of the freshman class at the University of Arizona. The Bulldogs are part of the Southern Conference, most recently making noise in the college football world when fellow conference member Appalachian State upset of No. 5 Michigan in 2007. For head coach Kevin Higgins, this season has been about finding veteran leadership in senior cornerback Cortez Allen on defense, while Arizona head coach Mike Stoops is working new coaches into his system. Higgins replaced two coordinators and hired three other new members to his coach staff.

Sir, yes Sir!

Co-defensive coordinator Tim Kish knows a little bit about coaching at a military school. Kish spent eight years at the United State Military Academy at West Point from 1984-1991 as a defensive ends and linebackers coach. He helped Army reach three bowl games during his tenure. His defensive schemes helped the Black Knights hold their opponents to 17 points or less a total of 42 times in his coaching career at Army. His personal experience with a military-based athletic program gives him an insight into what the Wildcats will face against The Citadel. “What you know is that they’re going to be very disciplined, they’ve got great work ethic and what you don’t want to do is let them think they’re in a game KISH, page 8

VOLLEYBALL continued from page 7

No. 24 Wildcats seek to improve before Pac-10 play begins “I think we’re pretty motivated because we like to get out against other people instead of playing against ourselves all of the time,” said junior middle blocker Courtney Karst. “When we finally get to play a real game, it’s like we get to show off what we’ve been working on, so that’s a pretty good motivator.” Cursty Jackson, in her junior season after transferring from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas , admitted that it might be a little difficult to maintain focus with the opening of conference play looming on the horizon. “Oh yeah, definitely,” said Jackson when asked if she thought it was possible that the team could enter a lull before conference play. “I think that we’re looking forward to Pac10 play starting. Preseason has been tough, but the conference is going to be even tougher.” Over the course of the next two weekends, the Wildcats don’t take on one team from a BCS automatic-qualifying conference. They will travel to the University of Nevada, Reno, this weekend to take part in the Wolf Pack Invitational , before returning to Tucson to host the Arizona Invitational, which will be UA’s last tune-up for conference play.

Arizona junior middle blocker Cursty Jackson steps into a serve during a 3-0 win over Cal State, Bakersfield, on Saturday in McKale Center. UA is looking to maintain focus ith underwhelming competition on the horizon.

KISH continued from page 7

After going undefeated in last weekend’s Wildcat Classic by Marriott University Park, the Arizona volleyball team was stationary in the No. 24 spot in the AVCA coaches’ poll. Seven Pac-10 teams are in this week’s version of the poll, including No. 2 Stanford, No. 8 USC, No. 9 Washington, and No. 10 California all in the nation’s top-10. The Cardinal received four first place votes in the poll. “As a player, it’s reassuring to see that you are ranked but there’s still room to improve,” said senior Whitney Dosty. “I think that you look at the rankings and just put it behind you and keep working hard.”

Kish: “You have to stay disciplined”

because their mentality is stronger and stronger as they go,” Kish said of playing against an opponent with a military background. “Having been at West Point for eight years I know that’s typically the way the thought process is and so we’ve got to do a good job early of not giving them something cheap.” It’s not only the Bulldogs military background that required Arizona to be especially careful when it comes to assignments on defense this week. The Citadel runs a

triple option offense, giving them the opportunity to run three different types of plays every time the ball is snapped. “It really comes down to, any time you play option teams you have to stay disciplined in your fits and it’s assignment football,” Kish said. “What you’ve really got to be 100 percent right on is who’s taking the dive, who’s taking the quarterback and who’s taking the pitch and you’ve had to be sound with everything that you do.” Arizona’s performance against Toledo

Softball releases fall schedule By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After finishing as the runner-up to UCLA, the national champions, in the Women’s College World Series in June, the Arizona softball team returns to the diamond for its fall schedule. The Wildcats will play 10 games over the course of three weeks in preparation for their upcoming season. Arizona will play five games during the Arizona Fall Classic. The Wildcats will take on Arizona Western College at 6 p.m. on Oct. 15, New Mexico at 5:30 p.m. and Central Arizona at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 16, and Cypress at 3 p.m. and Pima at 5 p.m. on Oct. 17.

Softball to hold open tryouts

The Arizona softball team will hold open tryouts on Sept. 17 at 2:30 p.m. at Hillenbrand Stadium. The Wildcats finished 52-14 during the season and were runners up to UCLA after losing 2-0 in the championship series in the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., in June. The team, led by head coach Mike Candrea, has earned eight national titles. . Interested prospective players should contact assistant coach Larry Ray before Sept. 10 by visiting him at his office in room 239A in McKale Center.

already garnered national attention over the weekend and the Wildcats are quickly ascending the list of Pacific 10 Conference contenders. Arizona head coach Mike Stoops echoed Kish’s emphasis on disciplined football as a necessity against The Citadel to avoid an upset. “Carrying the momentum forward, we don’t want to go out there and not take care of business,” Stoops said. “This team can be dangerous if we’re not disciplined or prepared.”

Houshmandzadeh eager for fresh start MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE BALTIMORE — Getting familiar with the Ravens’ playbook is the first priority for T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Getting comfortable with his new team’s colors is another objective. “It was a little weird when I tried my helmet on today,” the team’s newest offensive addition said during a Tuesday afternoon news conference at the team’s training facility in Owings Mills, Md. “I’m not a person that really likes change. I’m starting to realize that about myself. But sometimes change is better.” After eight seasons of strategizing against the Ravens as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals and one year with the Seattle Seahawks, Houshmandzadeh gets to Iine up with the Ravens, who agreed to a oneyear, $855,000 deal with the wide receiver. Houshmandzadeh, who will wear No. 84, sounded relieved that he wouldn’t have to try to decipher defenses manned by linebacker Ray Lewis and free safety Ed Reed. “I know Baltimore; I know what these guys bring to the table because I’ve played

against them,” Houshmandzadeh said. “I’ve sat in rooms when the coaches had to game-plan against these guys, and I know how stressful it is for those guys because I’ve been on the opposite side of that and of how much stress that defense puts on people. So to be on that side and not have to deal with it and worry about what protection is going to pick this up and what protection is going to pick that up, it’s great. I feel like I’m coming to play with guys that are similar with me emotionally, the way they play the game and how they love the game. And that’s where I need to be.” Houshmandzadeh joins a team with Super Bowl aspirations and an offense that already boasts a plethora of weapons in wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason, running back Ray Rice and tight end Todd Heap. When Donte’ Stallworth returns from a broken foot next month, finding playing time for the top four wide receivers could be a chore. But Houshmandzadeh said that won’t be an issue. “We’ll see what happens, but I’m a firm

believer that if you show the coaches that they should get you involved, then they’ll get you involved, and that’s what I plan on doing every day when it’s time to practice,” he said. Perhaps the lone knock regarding the addition of Houshmandzadeh is that he is a possession-type receiver, similar to Boldin and Mason. With Stallworth on the sideline, there is no prototypical “vertical threat.” But Houshmandzadeh dismissed that notion, saying: “If one guy is running this route, then the next guy will run that route. I feel like I can run every route, and I’m sure that Mase and Quan feel the same way. Just throw the ball, and we’ll make a play. That’s how I feel, and I’m sure that’s how those guys feel also.” Houshmandzadeh said he planned to walk upstairs after the news conference to visit with the offensive coaches and delve into the playbook. Despite having just four days of practice before the team’s season opener against the New York Jets on Monday night, Houshmandzadeh is expected to play.

“One of the other interesting things about it is he’s been in this system before,” said wide receivers coach Jim Hostler, who introduced Houshmandzadeh at the conference. “So Monday night, when we line up, there will be some familiarity with what we’re doing, and he’ll go out there and do what he can do against the Jets. From that standpoint, he’ll fit right into our system. He’ll be able to play all three spots. We’re going to get him ready to do whatever we need him to do to go win that Monday night game.” That Houshmandzadeh was even available was somewhat surprising as he led the Seahawks in receptions (79) and receiving yards (911) last season. But Seattle elected to go with a youth movement and released the 32-year-old on Saturday. Houshmandzadeh, who called it “refreshing” to leave a Seahawks team that compiled five wins last season and join a Ravens team that has advanced to the playoffs in the past two years, said emphatically that his departure was not related to his productivity.

Swisher walk-off lifts Yanks McClatchy-Tribune NEW YORK — Two outs away from a deflating sweep by the lastplace Orioles and a season-high four-game losing streak, Nick Swisher got the pitch he was looking for from reliever Koji Uehara. With one on and one out in the ninth, Swisher blasted a 2-and-0 fastball to leftfield for a two-run home run that gave the Yankees a 3-2 win Wednesday and ended a 10-game homestand on a positive note. “They came in and took the first two games in our home, and we didn’t like that too much,” Swisher said after receiving the customary whipped-cream pie in the face. “It took us a while to get it going, but it’s just great to come out of this homestand with a big win.” Despite the deflating news of Jorge Posada’s potential absence (he was taken to a hospital Wednesday with concussion symptoms after taking a foul tip to the head Tuesday), Swisher’s bomb gave the Yankees a spark they lacked during the past three losses. “We needed a shot in the arm,” said Alex Rodriguez, who hit a leadoff single in the ninth. “It felt like we’ve been sleepwalking the past couple of nights.” Also encouraging was the performance of Ivan Nova, who surrendered only two runs in six innings in his fourth big-league start. “I thought today was the best I’ve had,”Nova said. After the Yankees scored on Brett Gardner’s two-out double in the third, the Orioles rallied in the fifth. With a runner on second, Nova fell behind 3-and-0 to Matt Wieters, who drilled a two-run shot to leftfield for a 2-1 Orioles lead. “It was just a bad pitch for Wieters

Sox’s defense deserts Danks McClatchy-Tribune

Thomas A. Ferrara/Newsday/MCT

New York Yankees’ Nick Swisher celebrates his walk-off homer to beat the Baltimore Orioles, 3-2, in the bottom of the ninth inning at Yankee Stadium in New York on Wednesday.

and he got it,” catcher Francisco Cervelli said.“It was a great hit.” Manager Joe Girardi said he was impressed with Nova nonetheless. “He pitched an outstanding game again today,” Girardi said. “He got behind Wieters and left a fastball up, but I thought he was excellent today.” Nova recovered in the next inning to retire the side with two on and two out before David Robertson replaced him in the seventh. Robertson retired the next four

batters, and lefty Boone Logan fanned Luke Scott and Felix Pie to get out of the eighth. In the ninth, despite a throwing error by Derek Jeter, Joba Chamberlain retired the side to keep theYankees within a run. Swisher’s third walk-off home run of his career gave the Yankees their fourth walk-off win this season. “The feeling was that we’d come back,” Girardi said. “Swish got a pitch up over the plate and hit it out to left. That’s not easy to do, but it was a big hit for us.”

DETROIT — The return of reliever J.J. Putz on Thursday night was supposed to complete the White Sox’s full arsenal for their American League Central title drive. But Wednesday night’s 5-1 loss to the Tigers increased the temptation to look forward to 2011. The frustration this season also mounted after third baseman Mark Teahen committed two throwing errors, including a fourth-inning miscue that led to four runs. “It’s frustrating, especially the way I didn’t play the best defense before I got hurt,” Teahen said. “I mean you can have a two-error game, but obviously I don’t want to have one right now and in that situation where it really hurts us. What can you do?” The Sox’s recent struggles might be too severe to overcome. By virtue of losing their last two games after a seven-game winning streak, the Sox are 51/2 games behind the first-place Twins, who beat the Royals, with just 23 left. “We still feel like we have a chance,” said John Danks, who pitched well but fell victim to poor offensive and defensive support. “We are shooting ourselves in the foot a little bit. The last couple of nights we haven’t been playing very well.” And after mounting dramatic late-inning victories at Cleveland and Boston, the Sox have been held to two runs in their last two games. Over a 14-game span, the Sox have committed 17 errors. Teahen has committed 10 in only 63 games this season, causing manager Ozzie Guillen to consider

moving Omar Vizquel to third base if Gordon Beckham’s sore right hand feels well enough for him to play second in Thursday’s series finale. “I believe in defense,” Guillen said. Teahen’s second error prevented the Sox from getting the second out in the fourth, and four runs scored after that. “You must have a short memory and then move on,” Teahen said. “Worrying about it isn’t going to change it.” Danks threw 94 pitches on three days’ rest, and with an extra day of rest he should be rested to pitch the first game of the Twins series against Francisco Liriano on Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field. The Sox showed they had some bite after Andruw Jones nearly was beaned on the first pitch in the fifth. A television camera immediately caught Guillen looking at the lineup, and Danks buzzed Ryan Raburn on the first pitch of the bottom of the inning. That prompted umpire Brian Gorman to issue warnings to both benches. “Somebody can get hurt,” said Guillen, aware Manny Ramirez was hit twice Tuesday and Jones also on Monday. “I guarantee I’m not saying (Jeremy) Bonderman or Justin Verlander or all those guys tried hitting anybody.” Tigers manager Jim Leyland understands. “I don’t blame them for sending a message,” Leyland said. “We did hit two or three (of them) in the last few days, even though we weren’t trying to ... and one went by Andruw Jones. They probably said, ‘Enough is enough.’”

Breast Buddies awareness Student gets a push up Recreation Center targets community UA Facebook page receives $10,000 grant from Odwalla, doubles all member donations By Brenna Goth Arizona Daily Wildcat

Wellness Week open house allows non-members to work out for free, offers incentives for pass purchase By Brenna Goth Arizona Daily Wildcat The Campus Recreation Center isn’t just for students. Campus Recreation is holding its first Wellness Week of the year to promote the Rec Center to faculty, staff, retirees and alumni. UA community members can work out for free from Sept. 9 to 12. “Wellness Week is pretty much an outreach to the UA community,” said Chad Jeffry, marketing specialist for Campus Recreation. “Kind of as a little ‘try-out’ of the Rec Center.” Students primarily use the Recreation Center though it is open to all UA community members. “It’s about 5 percent right now that’s faculty and staff,” Jeffry said. Some UA community members might be deterred by the large percentage of students. “I think someone in their mid40s might easily be intimidated working out with someone in their early 20s with a body of steel,” said a Student Union employee. Nancy Rogers, coordinator of worksite wellness and health promotion for UA Life and Work Connection, said the Recreation Center is a useful resource for staff and faculty. “We encourage people to use the Rec Center because they have state-of-the-art equipment

and great personal trainers,” Rogers said. The Recreation Center may help faculty and staff maintain a healthy lifestyle because they can work out before leaving campus. “Once people go home and settle in, it’s really hard to go out and get physical activity,” Rogers said. Wolfgang Schmid, assistant research professor in Hydrology and Water Resources, uses the Rec Center about twice a week when he’s on campus. “That’s at least a goal,” Schmid said. “I go whenever I want.” Schmid purchased his membership through payroll deduction. He said the Rec Center is a beneficial resource even though many employees are busy. “It’s hard if you’re in a fulltime position,” Schmid said. UA community members looking to use the Recreation Center can buy a semester pass or an annual pass. “We also have some pricing incentives (during Wellness Week),” Jeffry said. Campus Recreation plans on having an additional four Wellness Weeks throughout the academic year. “A lot of people who do come are fairly surprised by what’s here,” Jeffry said. “We just want to make sure they know it’s here and ready for them.”

One UA student’s Facebook experiment could end up earning $10,000 for breast cancer research. Media arts graduate student Evan Moore created the Facebook cause Breast Buddies benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Inc. The juice company Odwalla is now backing the cause with a grant of up to $10,000. Odwalla will donate $1 for every new member that joins the group until Oct. 4. They will also donate $2 for every $1 member donation. Donations and corporate giving through Facebook causes is a new form of philanthropy. Some students think donations are beneficial but raise questions of accountability. “How do we know if that’s really what they’re doing?” pre-business freshman Krista Anderson said. “Do they actually do it?” Moore started Breast Buddies three years ago to answer these questions. “I was curious about all of these of causes and if they were in fact legitimate,” Moore said. “It was kind of by chance that it happened.” The group was created through the Causes application on Facebook. The goal of the application is to “create positive change through microphilanthropy,” according to Erin DeRuggiero, the co-founder and president of Social Reality, oversees the Causes application. “It was developed so anyone on the Facebook platform could choose a cause that’s important to them,” DeRuggiero said. Moore looked through the list of possible beneficiary organizations on the Causes application. “The issue that just sort of caught my eye the most was breast cancer,” said Moore, who noted many of his friends have lost mothers and grandmothers to the disease. Moore hardly monitored Breast Buddies after its creation. When he looked back a year later, the group had about 200,000 members. He then became more involved and added the most active members as administrators. “From there it just grew really fast,” Moore said. The group now has over 500,000 members and has raised over $30,000 for breast cancer research. Facebook users can create a cause by choosing one of over a million non-profit organizations. They can then invite friends to join and donate money through the website.

“Ultimately they wanted to harness the reach of Facebook,” DeRuggiero said of the founding of Causes. The Causes application raises $50,000 each day for non-profit organizations from Facebook user donations, according to DeRuggiero. The application has raised $22 million over the past two years. Many students are familiar with Causes on Facebook and have been invited to join by their friends. “Basically just ones from my high school like Invisible Children,” said pre-nursing freshman Madison Gerber on the Causes she follows. Other students said they often consider joining causes. “I think it depends on if I believe in it,” said Anderson. Corporations often offer donations through the application, “to get consumers involved in supporting the cause they’re aligned with,” DeRuggiero said. Odwalla contacted Social Reality looking for a cause to support. Breast Buddies was wellsupported and fit with Odwalla’s interests. “They had a relationship with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation already,” DeRuggiero said. “We’re just really thrilled to be working with Evan and reach the community he’s built.” Odwalla’s donation comes in the form of a matching grant, which requires the interest and participation of community members. “They can raise money for this cause simply by joining,” Moore said. “It’s an easy opportunity.” Moore said applications like Causes show the positive aspects of social networking. “It isn’t like I did anything,” Moore said. “People are mobilizing themselves.”
