ua muslims speak out Islamic community remembers the day its world changed

By Amer Taleb Daily Wildcat

He noticed UA students surrounding a TV, but did not know what they were watching. When Kamel Didan finally got to his office and saw the World Trade Center burning on his computer screen, the first question he asked was, “My God, what happened?”

He called his wife to ask her to pick him up so he could avoid facing possible backlash on the bus. On the way home from work, they stopped at a red light near a high school when students began crossing the street. As the kids walked by, they noticed his wife’s hijab (veil). Immediately, they started cursing and yelling through the couple’s windshield.

“That’s when I knew America changed,” said the associate professor of electrical and computer engineering research and Tunisian immigrant. “But I understood. They were emotional and they reacted.”

A decade later, his sadness, anger and confusion remain, he said.

Michael Gatto, a systems programmer at the BIO5 Institute, said he was stationed in Hawaii during the attacks.

He speaks one of the main Afghani languages, which is the primary reason he was deployed to Afghanistan.

The Marine, who converted to Islam about 20 years ago, said he had no internal battles going to war with other

Muslims. He never had to fire at anyone, but Gatto said if the situation required it, he would pull the trigger.

“As far as fighting al-Qaida and the Taliban, no problems whatsoever,” he said.

He received criticism from other Muslims who thought it was wrong for him to be fighting in a Muslim country.

Many Muslims in Tucson did not want to be around him either, he said.

“People know you were in the military and they distance themselves from you,” he said. “But just like I’m not shy about my religious identity with other Americans, I’m not shy about military service with Muslims.”

Government action in the aftermath

Government initiatives responding to 9/11 like the USA Patriot Act and the formation of the Transportation Security Administration, continue to intrude on the privacy of all Americans, said Maha Nassar, a Muslim and assistant professor in the School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies.

Trey Terry, a political science sophomore, vice president of the University of Arizonaa College Republicans and Iraq veteran, declined to comment on the Patriot Act because of the division in opinion within his organization regarding the Act of Congress, he said. But don’t forget that it took both Democrats and Republicans to pass it, Terry added.

Misinformation playing on American news stations inflames Muslim

stereotypes, but is not the cause of them, Nassar said. Islam was synonymous with terrorism before 9/11 because of the US’ perception of the First Intifada and Iranian Revolution, she said.

“I don’t think of terrorism when I hear Muslim, just religion,” said Albert Casella, an archeology junior. “Why should I judge someone based on anything other than the way they act?

The whole Civil Rights Movement was about stopping that.”

Osamah Eljerdi, a pre-pharmacy junior, said he’s still targeted when he tries boarding a plane.

“The TSA thinks ‘randomly searched’ means Muslim,” he said.

Being named Osamah in America feels like a bad joke, Eljerdi said. When his name was called off an attendance sheet or at a doctor’s office, the entire room would turn and stare.

“But I didn’t care,” he said. “My name is Osamah, and I’ll never be ashamed of that.”

But the comparisons to Osama bin Laden have diminished since, he said.

“Yeah, now people call me Obama instead,” Eljerdi joked.

Issues of perception

Casella said he thought Muslim perception of Americans was probably the same before and after 9/11 because of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.

“I wouldn’t be excited if the Chinese military came to Tucson,” he said.

Gatto and Terry said the violence stems from somewhere else.

“It depends almost entirely on their opportunity, the level of corruption

in their own society and what kind of brutality their society visits upon them,” Gatto said. “Does that mean I agree with all of our foreign policy?

Of course not.”

Didan, who has been to three Middle Eastern countries, said many Arabs, regardless of religion, are frustrated with U.S. foreign policy, but they also have a lot of respect for American values and freedoms.

“If America and other Western countries opened up their borders today, the Middle East would be empty by tonight,” he said. “People go insane because of what they have to put up with (in the region). I know how privileged I am to be an American and I never take it for granted.”

Didan said Muslims need to do a better job of getting involved in their non-Muslim communities to improve American society and stop stereotypes.

“We can’t contribute to America if we’re always in the mosque,” he said.

After the attacks, Gatto, Didan, Nassar and Eljerdi received support from nonMuslims, they said. All four are treated well on campus, they added.

Eljerdi said Americans from all backgrounds offered his family support.

“Atheists, Jews, Christians … When I see that type of kindness, I know America’s spirit is alive and well,” Eljerdi said. “And I hope it lives forever.”

remember?

“I remember that my mom’s friend’s dad was a fireman and she was freaking out and they hadn’t heard from him. They heard from him Ryan Finley two days later — he was trapped in Former editor in chief of the the rubble.”

“September 11 was a huge event. We had to focus on what we witnessed and what we could control, and that was the campus reaction to it. In a newsroom, the bullets are flying pretty fast and we needed to figure out what we can “It was so far do and how to make things happen. away from where One of the things that attracts us to I was; I didn’t feel journalism is that we like to be there like it was real.” when things happen. I had to remind myself that not everyone is wired that way.”

“At that age I didn’t understand … I got pulled out halfway through school.

David Ramirez Mechanical engineering sophomore “I was 10 when it happened. I didn’t really understand the severity of it until I saw people jumping out the buildings on the news.”

— Albert Casella, archeology junior

“I was very proud of how the campus responded.

I was very proud of the religious leadership and how they came together so Peter Likins quickly and the Former commitment of UA president coming together so closely. We needed to be clear that Muslim students, faculty and staff were not to be treated as terrorists, but as members of our community. That kind of crisis called for immediate public presence of the president, and the campus responded beautifully. The campus demonstrated its cohesiveness and common sense.”

“I was going to school. I was in third grade.

I didn’t know what was going on because we didn’t watch the news. I don’t think my parents would have told me anyway.”

“I was in sixth grade in class when I heard about it. Being a Muslim didn’t help. Everyone started making assumptions I was a terrorist.”

“At the time I didn’t know much about the tragedy because I was in second grade, but now I watch the news each anniversary Sarah Anderson and realize how Music freshman much more it means.”

Kyle Edwards Saxophone performance sophomore

Alex Caswell Business management senior

“I remember how strange it was that my parents had the TV on early in the morning, and I didn’t understand. Our house was silent for an hour. I stopped everything I was Ryan Kleinman doing to sit down Musical theater sophomore and watch.”

Erica Goudy psychology sophomore

“It was my sister’s birthday. I was really happy and then my dad called and told us to turn on the TV. Then I saw it. I was terrified. My dad works in San Francisco and I thought it could be next.”

— Charlie Butterfield, psychology freshman

“I remember being asleep when it happened and that my parents were acting super weird that morning. They didn’t tell me what happened right away and I didn’t know why. At the time, my dad was doing work outside of New York and flying there weekly from Phoenix.

The tragedy is really too sad to commemorate for me.”

“When I went to school, our classroom was the only one with cable. Half the school came in to watch, and I didn’t know what Ben Elias to do. I think the Pre-architecture change in secusophomore rity has made people feel more secure, but sometimes TSA is viewed as a nuisance.

In general, our country is better for more security.”

Sept. 11, 2001

Sept. 11, 2001 In a coordinated series of attacks, members of the alQaida terrorist organization crash three hijacked airplanes into the two towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, collapsing both towers and killing thousands.

A fourth plane crashes in a field after passengers regain control of it, killing everyone on board. In total, 2,977 people are killed, making it the deadliest attack on U.S. soil.

Sept. 12, 2002 Oct. 7, 2001 The United States declares war on Afghanistan in an attempt to dismantle the al-Qaida terrorist organization that carried out the 9/11 attacks. The war in Afghanistan is now the longest sustained armed conflict in U.S. history.

Working in crews, members of the UA football team build a house for Habitat for Humanity to commemorate the first anniversary of the attacks. UA students and faculty combine to build an additional 11 houses around Tucson for the organization.

May 2002 The site of the World Trade Center is cleared of debris from the attacks.

Military sacrifice key to US stability Joshua Segall DAILY WILDCAT

S

ept. 11, 2001, is a day that Americans will never forget. We all remember where we were that morning when the news broke. We remember watching the horrific images that will forever be engrained into our hearts, minds and souls.

Since 2001, The United States and its military have gone above and beyond to protect our nation. Our commander in chief at the time, former President George W. Bush, said in his speech that night: “None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.” Less than a month after that speech, our armed forces entered Afghanistan. Two years later our armed forces entered Iraq when it was believed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Without question, our armed forces stood up to protect our nation. As a result of the military efforts, the U.S. is a safer place. We have not been attacked on our own soil and we have captured some of the world’s top terrorist threats, including Osama bin Laden, the man responsible for the attacks.

Unfortunately, as with the positives come negatives, which includes the deaths and injuries of countless soldiers.

We hear stories of brave men and women who have been wounded or who have died in combat all the time, yet our armed forces continue to protect us, regardless of the situation. Many of us have had a personal connection to these people.

Sept. 11 is not only a day of mourning but also a day of reflection. We remember those who lost their lives that day and in the years to follow. Sept. 11 is a time to remember all branches of the military and the importance they have in our daily lives.

While we often take our freedoms for granted, if it wasn’t for our military, our nation wouldn’t be where it is today. Perhaps we wouldn’t be here at all. We can also say this is a day to look forward to the future. The will of America is to succeed. We are not a country of fear or failure, but a country of hope and prosperity. Sept. 11 should be a reminder of this to all of us. We should be reminded of the unity we all share as Americans, and never forget that the U.S. is in fact the greatest nation on Earth.

SBS events are still upcoming

By Alexandra Bortnik DAILY WILDCAT

At the time of the Sept. 11 attacks, Brig. Gen. John Adams, who retired from the U.S. Army in 2007, was serving as the deputy director for European Policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon in Arlington County, Va. Adams, who taught at UA South in 2010 and is pursuing a doctorate in the School of Government and Public Policy, will take part in a weeklong program called “9/11: How We’ve Changed.”

The events create an open forum where everyone can discuss their thoughts and stories on the tragedy and how to move America forward.

Albert J. Bergesen, head of the sociology department, said these events are less about specific questions and more about people telling their stories. Bergesen also said the department tried to set up the events so they had some sense of order — from lectures on history and dealing with the media to a book discussion and movie screening.

Bergeson said the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences’ events programs are an opportunity for the UA to showcase its distinguished faculty by shedding light on 9/11 and entertaining peoples’ thoughts and explanations “so we can at least deal with it.”

This Saturday, Laila Halaby, a Lebanese author who lives in Tucson, will lead a book discussion on her novel “Once in a Promised Land”. The novel addresses the growth and inescapability of Muslim stereotypes since 9/11, and how America’s paranoia and stereotyping affects Muslims living in America. On Sunday, the film “Rebirth” will be shown at The Loft Cinema. “Rebirth” is filmmaker Jim Whitaker’s documentation of five people who

have either lost loved ones or were wounded during 9/11.

Many individuals are finding creative ways to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11.

Across America, citizens are memorializing the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by erecting monuments, holding services or hosting exhibits. This Sunday in New York City, the 9/11 memorial will be dedicated in a ceremony for victims’ families. The memorial is located at the site of former World Trade Center and consists of two waterfalls and reflecting pools, each pool about an acre in size, placed within the footprints of the Twin Towers.

“From The New York Times to local TV stations, everyone is coming to grips, in some way, with the 10th anniversary of 9/11,” Bergesen said.

Adams said the SBS events should not only honor and memorialize those who have died or been wounded, but should also inspire people to draw lessons from them.

Adams’ office was roughly 100 yards from the site of the crash. Adams said that, at the time of

attack, everyone who worked with him at the Pentagon was concerned with only two things — helping with immediate recovery of the dead and wounded, and giving assistance to first responders such as firefighters and rescue squads.

“We were sorrowful about the casualties and angry at the same time,” Adams said. “I wanted to get those who attacked us — even when on that day, we did not yet know who ‘they’ were.

Emotions in the Pentagon ran very high after the attack, at a visceral level.

“We were attacked, and we stood together. I saw this spirit of unity among my brothers and sisters in arms at the Pentagon on 9/11, and among those of us who served in the military during this past decade,” Adams said. “We’re fortunate to be part of a university community that encourages freedom of inquiry and quality of thought. Let’s hope that our reflection sheds light on how we can restore the peace and prosperity of our country after a decade of wars, hugely expensive in both lives and resources.”

W

hen I was little I thought my dad had the coolest job. I did my history reports about famous pilots, studied Amelia Earhart, and loved sneaking into my parent’s closet to try on my dad’s pilot’s hat.

But Sept. 11, 2001, took away the wonder.

My parents were in Hawaii and my aunt and grandmother were taking care of my brother and me. My aunt rushed in my room and said, “The country’s under attack!” and then left. Maybe if I had been older that would have been scary, but 11-year-old me mostly thought she was kidding, and was annoyed at being awake so early.

I watched the news before going to school, but in my bleary-eyed Cheerios daze, I missed the point.

Weeks later my dad went to work but, by that time, I’d heard what happened to the pilots. I didn’t want him to go. He shrugged it off and explained why it wouldn’t be logical for an

attacker to choose his flights and how no one could sneak up on him. I don’t know if any of that was true and I really try not to dwell on it; it comforted me then, and now.

For most, Sept. 11 struck Americans in the heart even if it didn’t hit them in the home.

Any family that has a pilot or a crewmember who flies still worries.

In 2006, The movie “United 93” came out and someone asked me to see it. I was more than a little offended. No, I don’t want to see a movie where pilots are overpowered and eventually crash into the ground.

Pilots and aircraft crew aren’t firefighters, police officers or soldiers and I never thought I’d have to worry about the pilot in my family coming home safe. Now, it’s been a decade and flying is still the safest way to travel. But it’s still a worry.

It’s not a 10-year anniversary for some families; it’s an everyday concern.

There were no survivors in any of the planes on Sept. 11, 2011, no chance of rescue, and flight attendants were even stabbed before crashing.

Although our standards for flight have changed, the threats on airlines continue. On Dec. 25, 2009, a man tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight. Then, on May 10, a man attempted to force his way in the cockpit of an American Airlines flight in California. In both cases, the passengers reacted and helped subdue attempts.

Now reflect on Jan. 8. A Tucson passersby fell on Jared Loughner and stopped him before he could fire another round, and wreak further havoc and pain. That’s the proof that Americans have changed.

I don’t believe that, 10 years ago, it would be people’s first reaction to get up and force a fellow passenger to the ground or leap onto a man with a gun. But again, Americans have changed. I don’t feel safer walking through TSA and getting groped by a similarly uncomfortable woman. But I do feel safer knowing that Americans are standing up for their safety, stopping attacks before they happen, and working together.

tackling terror in the classroom UA course examines sociology of terrorism at home and abroad

By Jazmine Woodberry Daily Wildcat

Despite its title, the Sociology of Terrorism isn’t a snapshot of a tragic day 10 years ago, it’s a social science class that objectively looks at how preconditions of the brain drive some to commit murder in the name of social change.

Sociology Department Head Albert Bergesen developed the syllabus for the class while on sabbatical in the mid-2000s as a way to tackle how people view terrorism.

“I think we saw terrorism as something that we saw that happened in other countries and other places. I think, given 9/11, it became a great question of who, what, when and why,” Bergesen said. “With 9/11 it really came home. Why would people do something like this? I think it heightened our awareness.”

The two driving thrusts of his class

are understanding on a psychologic level how people process brain activity and the recent state of international terrorism.

But Bergesen says that the further removed his students are from the day, the less visceral the feelings of students.

“Today’s freshman is 18, so they would have been 8 years old, and so a senior would have been around 12 years old. The further away we get, the more it becomes an academic topic and less of an immediate experience,” Bergesen said.

“It’s coming back a little now because it’s the 10th anniversary but the further away you get, there’s a little less concern and interest.”

Bergesen said the class tries not to centralize itself around just 9/11 but to tackle the complex psychological reasoning behind why people commit terrorist acts.

“People who are suicidal don’t just become suicide terrorists,” he said.

“The most interesting thing about terrorism is that it’s much more complex upon a moment’s reflection, if you think about it for a second. It’s talk-

ing about the mental architecture in someone committing suicide to kill someone else to affect a third person.

It’s a very complicated process.”

He said understanding the process is like analyzing any other crime.

“No one’s quite solved that human psychological mindset in a satisfactory way and so we wrestle with it in class,” he said.

“It might seem dispassionate to look at it that objectively. But it’s not pro or con,” Bergesen said. “But it’s only when we look at them (that)we can take action to deal with them.”

Flight 93 memorial to be unveiled Saturday Mcclatchy tribune

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. — In the remote, rolling hills near this tiny southwestern Pennsylvania borough, signs of thunderous jolts that shook the town on Sept. 11, 2001, and then rippled across the world, have mostly faded.

The 40-foot deep crater created

by United Airlines Flight 93’s chaotic, 500-mph descent has long been covered. Nearby, wildflowers blanket the 60-plus acres that serve as a burial ground for 40 crew members and passengers.

A serene walkway overlooks the seasonal blooms and leads to a granite wall inscribed with the names of all who were aboard Flight 93.

It took 10 years, but the National Park Service’s Flight 93 National Memorial in Stonycreek Township will be unveiled this weekend during events that are expected to draw 10,000 people, including President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

It’s been a long time coming for families of the Flight 93 crew and passengers, who were hailed as heroes for their impromptu uprising against the terrorists who hijacked their flight.

“It’s been fascinating just watching it all develop and take form and shape,” said Ed Root of Coopersburg, Pa., whose cousin, Lorraine Bay of East Windsor, N.J., was a senior flight attendant onboard. “In some respects this finished memorial is more for the future than it is for the present.”

Root first visited the site on a dreary March day, six months after his cousin, a 58-year-old who was known to mother her younger colleagues, had chosen Flight 93 over another because it was nonstop from Newark to San Francisco.

“It was numbing,” Root, now 64, recalled. Growing up, Root and Bay spent many a holiday together as well as vacations at the New Jersey shore.

A visitor gazes across the field near Shanksville, Penn., on Aug. 14, where United Flight 93 crashed. The Flight 93 memorial will be dedicated on Saturday, almost 10 years after 9/11.

“She was kind of the big sister I never had,” said Root, who has no siblings. “I looked up to her as a teenager.”

Root was so moved by his first visit that he eventually served on a committee that selected the memorial design, became a years-long member of the Families of Flight 93 organization, and has made frequent trips here to monitor progress of the project’s $62 million first phase.

He plans to be here this weekend with hundreds of other relatives of Flight 93 victims.

Saturday’s opening ceremony marks the completion of the initial phase of the project — about half of what is planned.

The memorial features a cast concrete gateway leading to a 900foot walkway that offers vistas of the flower-covered “Sacred Ground” that absorbed the impact of the crash.

At the end of the walkway is a black granite wall listing the names of crew and passengers on the fateful flight. The wall will be unveiled to the public Saturday. Only relatives of those who died aboard the flight will be allowed on the actual ground

where the aircraft went down.

A half-mile diameter Field of Honor adjacent to what is being called Sacred Ground will eventually be framed with groves of maple trees and a walking path.

Paul Murdoch, the California architect who designed the memorial, had in mind the courage of the passengers and crew when he designed the memorial.

The 9/11 Commission concluded that the hijackers downed the plane in Pennsylvania as the hostages, who had learned of attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., revolted.

“We used the large scale of the open site to give a heroic quality to the memorial, creating a long, arching walkway around a Field of Honor,” Murdoch said. “We used the serenity of the rural landscape to inform the memorial expression as a cemetery, while working with the severity of the site’s exposure and mining history to recognize it as a battleground.”

Keith Newlin, a National Park Service superintendent who has been at the site since it was established in 2002 as a national park, expects annual attendance of around 110,000

to double or triple once the park is dedicated.

Even in its temporary state, the park has attracted visitors from all 50 states and places as far as Africa, Romania and the Netherlands.

On a recent morning, vehicles with license plates from Michigan, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina and Georgia lined the parking lot.

“There are two questions people always ask: Where did it go into the ground and how close can we get?”

Newlin said. “I have some visitors who don’t want to come down (to the impact site). It’s out of respect.

It’s still too fresh for them.”

Root said it’s not unusual to see visitors patting their pocket or reaching into their purses to leave behind something personal.

Firefighters, police officers and medics leave their company patches.

Children leave toys. Bay’s husband, Erich, leaves an arrangement of flowers on each of his visits: four yellow roses for flight crew members and one red rose for his late wife. More than 35,000 tributes have been left behind and become part of a stored archival collection.

Root thinks visitors will find the new memorial a contemplative place where they’ll ask themselves, “What would I have done?”

“Many people believe that if the plane was in the air a few more seconds, it would have hit the town and every child in town was in school that day,” Root said. “(The flight crew and passengers) knew if they didn’t act that something far worse would happen.”

Not everyone who has gotten a glimpse of the memorial from a fenced overlook has been impressed. Linda McClintock, a volunteer “ambassador” who tells visitors the story of Flight 93 at the memorial, recalled an angry man who commented, “What in the hell is this mess?”

But Gene and Sherrie Watson and their son Justin, who took the 50-mile trip from Fayette County to visit the memorial on a recent morning, said the money has been well spent. They called it a “fitting” tribute.

“There’s no material way to say thank you,” Gene Watson said. “It’s as close as we can get. My thoughts, as we were turning in here … Osama bin Laden, you finally got yours. I hope you’re rotting in hell.”

The National Park Service Foundation is still raising private funding for the roughly $10 million needed to pay for first-phase work. Future plans include a visitors center between two large concrete walls that designate Flight 93’s final path; a 93-foot high “Tower of Voices” with 40 wind chimes near the park entrance; and 40 memorial groves, each with 40 trees.

When the memorial is completed, more than 140,000 trees will be planted as part of a reforestation project. The $52 million raised so far includes $20 million from private donors, $18 million from Pennsylvania and $14 million from the federal government.

“It’s not done yet, it’s not over,” said Root. “There’s still work to be done and money to be raised.”

A line of Safe Ride vehicles are parked in front of the Harvill building on Thursday. The shuttle service, offered by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, provides free transportation for UA students within its service area.

ASUA’s Safe Ride service offers students a free lift Record number of students rode the shuttles last year

By Samantha Munsey Daily Wildcat

When students find themselves in need of a ride on campus at night, the ASUA Safe Ride service is often the answer. But despite popular belief, it is not a taxi service.

In 1994, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona Safe Ride began hiring more than 30

volunteers to provide rides to students around campus at night as a way to promote safety. Today, Safe Ride has a fleet of 12 vehicles and a staff of more than 45 paid student employees. The service is provided by ASUA and is free for all students.

“I don’t have a car so I rely on it,” said Mayra Perez, a pre-nursing sophomore who uses Safe Ride three to four times a week. “They take you wherever you want and it’s easier than walking home.”

On average, it takes Safe Ride six

Q&A

UA’s new fraternity chapter starting up

By Eliza Molk Daily Wildcat

Alpha Sigma Phi, a national fraternity, started recruiting men to become the founding fathers of a UA chapter this fall. Geoff McDonald, the coordinator of chapter and colony development with the Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity, is at the UA for five weeks interviewing viable men to join.

Daily Wildcat: Why did your fraternity want to start a chapter at the UA? Geoff McDonald: Alpha Sigma Phi used to have a chapter here until 1967, but it fell by the wayside, much like a lot of Greek communities did in the ‘60s. We are currently on an expansion plan and we have seen a 38 percent

national growth since 2009. We are currently represented at more than 90 universities and we continue to grow each semester. Our growth plan was designed to increase resources in order to better serve undergraduates. While we build a bigger fraternity nationally, we build a better one as well. Arizona was a great fit for us because we have very active alumni in the area that wanted us to come back.

The Interfraternity Council, UA Greek Life office and our alumni are above and beyond as far as their commitment to the students and their success.

Ultimately, we came back because we want our fraternity to become the “gold standard” for all fraternities, Greek Life Q&A, 2

minutes to respond to phone call of a passenger seeking a ride. On a typical night, they receive about 500 calls and, according to their website, in April of 2011, Safe Ride set a record of 1,019 passengers carried in one night.

“When we get their call, it takes about six to seven minutes to get there depending on the distance,” said Chris Wozny, Safe Ride student director. “It’s usually less then five minutes if you are on campus.”

One of the biggest problems Safe Ride faces is the jamming up of

phone lines from potential passengers. Wozny explained operators can only hold 10 calls at a time and, as a result, some callers can be left waiting up to 15 minutes during a busy night.

“Thursdays, from what I have experienced, are the busiest days,” said Perez. “I’m on hold for the longest time and it’s usually over five minutes.”

Unlike a taxi service, Safe Ride is designed to only operate during safe ride, 2

Suicidal thoughts among college students can be caused by a breakup or issues in a relationship, a problem at home or stressful academic endeavors.

Statistics have shown that suicide is the second-leading cause of death for college students in the United States.

Campus Health Service and other organizations involved in the suicide prevention effort received a $306,000 federal grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

The grant will be used over three years to combat the problem.

David Salafsky, the director at Health Promotion and Preventive Services at Campus Health, said the goal of the grant is to reduce the incidents of suicide, suicide attempts and their related risk factors through both prevention and intervention. The grant will target three specific groups — Native Americans, military veterans and their families and those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer and questioning.

Jon Linton, a pre-business junior, said suicide was a major problem at his previous college, the University of Washington. But for the most part, he said, he hasn’t seen depression very much at the UA. “I feel depressed sometimes, but never thinking about quitting or committing suicide … but there’s a lot of pressure here,” said prevention, 2

Budget cuts mean less graduate financial aid

By Brenna Goth Daily Wildcat

Some incoming graduate and professional students will face a stumbling block in financing their educations starting next summer.

Congress eliminated subsidized loans from the Federal Direct Loan Program for graduate and professional students.

The measure was taken as part of last month’s budget compromise, which was signed Aug. 2.

Graduate and professional students can receive up to $20,500 each year in federal student loans, according to the Federal Student Aid website. Subsidized loans, for which the government pays the interest until the loan is no longer

deferred, can account for up to $8,500 of that yearly total, with a maximum of $65,000 in subsidized loans over a student’s career.

Starting in July 2012, all students will be responsible for paying the 6.8 percent fixed interest on these loans. Students can defer the interest until graduation, but it will accumulate in the meantime.

Loans taken out before this date will still have the subsidy attached to them, and the total amount of money that may be borrowed remains the same. The cost increase to students due to the change will depend on how much they borrow and how long it takes them to repay the loan.

“I immediately thought of the

effect this would have on a lot of students who don’t have funding,” said Jay Sanguinetti, College of Science representative for the Graduate and Professional Student Council.

Sanguinetti said he does not need a loan for tuition. However, he was considering taking one out to buy a car so he can travel for his research.

“Now I’m not going to be able to do that, “ he said.

The council urged members to contact congressmen about cuts to subsidized loans during budget negotiations this summer, said Roeland Hancock, GPSC president. loans, 2

’Cats corralled by Cowboys

By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

STILLWATER, Okla. — On the third play of Thursday’s 37-14 loss to No. 9 Oklahoma State, the Arizona defense had a chance to make a statement.

With the Cowboys facing a thirdand-seven from their own 15-yard line, Arizona could have sent the potent OSU offense to a three-and-out.

Instead, Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden connected on a seven-yard pass to receiver Josh Cooper to convert the first down, and the nine-play, 88-yard drive eventually resulted in oneyard touchdown run by running back Joseph Randle.

“It was a big momentum play for

them,” UA safety Robert Golden said of the early third-down conversion.

“They had the momentum on their side for pretty much the whole game.”

Oklahoma State scored on its first three possessions, racing to a 21-0 lead over the Wildcats, who weren’t able to get anything going offensively. Arizona rushed for just 49 yards, while OSU picked up 197 yards on the ground.

After picking up two first downs on its first possession, the Arizona offense sputtered with back-to-back three-and-outs, netting a combined four yards.

Although Arizona found itself facing a large deficit early in the game, quarterback Nick Foles said the offense

didn’t ditch plans to run the ball.

“I think you stick with your scheme,” said Foles, who finished with 398 yards and a touchdown on 37-of-51 passing. “I think we stayed with how we play. We had a couple bad breaks and had some penalties that put us in bad situations.”

Arizona racked up 67 penalty yards on 11 infractions, three of which came during a crucial sequence midway through the third quarter.

With Arizona trailing 21-7, junior safety Mark Watley intercepted a Weeden pass at Arizona’s 5-yard line.

After picking up five yards on first down, Arizona took a timeout because

night hours and covers a 1.5-mile radius around the UA campus.

The boundaries include Broadway Boulevard, Country Club Road, Speedway Boulevard, and Stone Avenue. The service starts taking calls from their automated operating system at 6:30 p.m. and stops at 1 a.m. Sunday though Monday, and Friday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Safe Ride does not take calls on Saturdays because there is no school the next day. Safe Ride also has the right to refuse service to any intoxicated passengers.

“We are a part of academic services, we are not here to pick people up from the bar and take them home,” Wozny said. “We would not be able to get funding from the government if that was the case.”

Safe Ride does not compete with taxi services around the UA campus and often refers students to nearby businesses during non-working hours. Taxi services can be of use for students who intend to reach destinations outside of Safe Ride’s boundaries.

Catherine Cook, a music education junior.

Cook said she knows people who are depressed and have had suicidal thoughts. Sometimes people make mistakes and do not know how to handle it, she said.

In the 2011 Health and Wellness survey conducted by Campus Health, 6 percent of respondents said they had serious thoughts about suicide and suicide attempts over the past school year, with some students having them more than once.

“While that’s scary and sad, I think that people need to know that this is a very difficult time in life for students,” said Glenn Matchett-Morris, a staff psychologist and the assistant director at Counseling and Psychological Services.

Often times, people struggling with depression have feelings of loss and do not know what other options there are because they feel like things won’t get better, Salafsky said.

and leadership.

What are you looking for in a potential member?

We are looking for gentlemen to become the founding fathers who value silence, purity, charity, honor and patriotism. We want our members to make a difference in the community and bring the idea of brotherhood back. On a national level, the idea of fraternity has taken a turn as just a social experience. Our national philanthropy is Livestrong, and our chapters do at least one Livestrong event per semester to benefit them. I think a lot of organizations fell victim to the idea of “frat,” and a lot of it was earned. Some groups are going away from values that were supposed to make them successful in the first place. Our men are looking to create the idea of brotherhood, get involved, be well-rounded and have involvement in other organizations outside of the Greek community.

continue to join throughout the year.

I started recruiting two weeks ago on campus and will be here another two and a half weeks reaching out to people. So far, I conducted well over 200 one-on-one interviews to find out what the men are really about and to tell them what our fraternity can offer.

I did a lot of tabling, received a lot of referrals from sororities and other fraternities and utilized social media.

Does the UA chapter have plans for a house?

I understand our fraternity needs a house in order to be successful (in the) long term. In order to do that, we have a housing initiative designed to help new chapters secure housing. We provide down payments to many of our chapters and our extremely strong alumni help us do that. The UA chapter seems really motivated to look for housing. For our fraternity, coming to campus without housing is almost a blessing, because we know the men joining are not just looking for that social aspect. Our men want to service philanthropies. We are building a strong base without a house, which Does the UA chapter already have will be that much stronger in the future members? once we secure a house.

“It doesn’t necessarily scare me, but it makes me feel sad for them and I want to help them,” Cook said.

Many campus organizations are also on board with this comprehensive approach, Salafsky said.

The grant represents a strong partnership with the Dean of Students Office, Residence Life, Fraternity and Sorority Programs, LGBTQ Affairs and the Disability Resource Center. Campus Health is also working with the Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences.

comes in, and they will settle dues and goals with our group for next semester. Right now the UA chapter is a group and they will then become an interest group, a colony, then a chapter. In order to climb that ladder, they must take the steps we require, including service and philanthropy events. This collaborates well with Interfraternity recognition requirements. Currently, we are developing our group with a deeper understanding to start a plan, and they have already started planning for next semester. Right now our UA chapter plays basketball, football and ultimate Frisbee weekly. They are an extremely motivated group, and we have to tell them to take things one step at a time.

Why should men want to join this fraternity above others?

Men should want to join because we are bringing back “the fraternity” to the UA campus and nationally. We are looking for people who are looking to better their undergraduate experience. Only .001% of men have the opportunity to start a chapter, and it is their opportunity to lead a legacy. Years from now, they can look back at their names on the founding fathers plaque. These men can start healthy traditions for years to come.

ing factors for suicidal thoughts, Matchett-Morris said.

“Everyone experiences some depression, isolation or loneliness,” he added.

When those experiences become bigger, more chronic and affect a person’s lifestyle, that’s usually an indication that something is going on, he said. The counseling provided at CAPS “absolutely” helps people get better with time, Matchett-Morris said, and CAPS often advises individuals to eat better, exercise more or improve social relationships, depending on their situation.

The grant will also help Campus Health identify students who may be at risk. They will screen for depression and educate the campus community about mental health issues related to suicide and depression, Salafsky said. Campus Health will also use the grant for media campaigns, staff support and trainings for “gatekeepers,” who are trained to identify underlying symptoms, risk factors and possible suicidal behaviors.

Campus Health hopes to train more than 500 people each year in the Question, Persuade, Refer

loans

from page 1

He said a study completed by the council last year found about onethird of graduate and professional students take out loans.

More than 3,300 UA students had subsidized loans averaging $7,732 in 2011, according to Bryan Scott, assistant director for student financial aid in the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Subsidized loans are provided to students demonstrating financial need and are often used in combination with other loans and funding teaching and research positions.

“It is an increase to their cost,” Scott said about the loss of subsidized loans. “When you graduate and are just getting a job, any cost increase is probably problematic.”

Both subsidized loans and the Federal Pell Grant Program were in danger of losing funding this year, which caused concern among students and universities, Scott said.

Pell Grant funding was not cut in the budget compromise.

“I think Congress did what they think is least harmful to the program,” Scott said. “I think schools

program, Salafsky said.

“It (QPR) really teaches people how to ask the difficult question of whether someone is considering suicide, how to kind of get them to stay safe and then connect them to resources,” he said.

Though some students may come to CAPS for help, there are many students who have suicidal thoughts don’t come in for counseling, Salafsky said.

“We’re really trying to train people to be ready, willing and able to help somebody out who might be at risk,” he said.

More college students depend on mental health resources, and staffing has increased because of that, according to Salafsky.

Cook and Linton both said they would go with a friend to CAPS if they needed them to.

“Students, on the whole, are really willing to step up and help a friend who might be in need,” Salafsky said. “We really want to try to get as many people throughout the campus community trained in this program so we can prevent needless deaths as a result of suicide.”

are more panicky about Pell Grants being cut. We’re still not totally safe from that.”

Organizations like Arizona Students’ Association worked to preserve financial aid funding last semester. ASA Chair Dan Fitzgibbon said graduate and professional students already graduate with large debts.

“The fact that we’re losing the subsidized loan is a huge blow,” he said. “My fear is that is will decrease the number of students pursing an education past a bachelor’s degree.”

Scott said he does not think the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid will be able to offer additional aid to graduate students.

“I think it will stay fairly the same,” Scott said. “I don’t see the university having volumes of money to offset unsubsidized loans.”

Scott said he has not heard of students reaching out to the office but said some colleges are concerned about how the changes will affect their students.

Sanguinetti said loan availability and cost of attendance are often main considerations for prospective graduate and professional students.

“That’s going to put a big squeeze on a lot of people,” he said.

firstCurtainCall The Arizona Repertory Theatre, housed within the School of Theatre, Film and Television, presents a varied slate of offerings this semester at the UA for those more inclined toward the dramatic arts.

The first offering of the season, which starts this weekend, called “The Voice of the Prairie.” A folk play set between 1895 and 1923, it highlights radio at the turn of the century.

The Daily Wildcat picks out three other programs on the schedule, all of which are likely to please theater nuts over the next several months.

By Joe Dusbabek

“Hay Fever,” a comedy involving eccentric family members, situational drama between strange characters and imaginary reactions to impossible happenings, highlights the comedic offerings of the theater. First produced in 1925, this one’s an oldie, but with so much selfcentered dialogue and ridiculous behavior, “Hay Fever” promises to jump the multigenerational gap and bring a laugh or several with it.

One of Shakespeare’s less popular but still significant plays, “Julius Caesar,” shows in the Marroney Theatre from February to March.

“Julius Caesar” focuses on the story of the eponymous character’s pursuit of power, as well as the drama surrounding everyone in his world.

A political thriller at heart, it wins bonus points for being one of the more understandable examples of iambic pentameter as well as spawning one of the most recognizable lines of betrayal ever: “Et tu, Brute?”

If you’ve never seen Shakespeare at work, you owe it to yourself to take the day off and go see “Julius Caesar.”

If you’re a sucker for heartwarming stories about half-creature, half-person abominations trying to carve their own place in an increasingly complicated world, “Bat Boy: The Musical” begs you to visit in April. Ripped straight from the headlines of 1992 issues of “The Weekly World News.” The musical tells the tale of a literal “Bat Boy” trying to find love and acceptance.

Adult themes and violence are present, so avoid bringing the little ones, but if you’re looking for a good mixture of drama and laughs to ease the tension, “Bat Boy” reigns over them all (or at least Arizona Repertory Theatre’s offerings for the semester).

For most of us, “The Lion King” calls to mind fond memories of childhood. It has catchy songs, memorable characters, and an exciting plot — not to mention cute animals — so it’s no wonder the film won two Academy Awards when it was released in 1994, and is the highest grossing American 2D animated film.

But have you heard the news? “The Lion King” will be re-released next week. In 3D. To some of us, this sounds like a great idea. But many others greet this news with a heavy sigh and a sarcastic “…really?” The film debuts on Sept. 16. Which side will you be on?

Reasons to think it’ll be awesome:

Reasons to think “…really, Disney?”:

“The Lion King” reminds us of happier times. Not only does it stir up nostalgia, but it also is rife with familiar characters and memorable songs that make us feel comforted, even though times are different now. Just try not to smile when you think about Simba and Nala, Timon and Pumbaa, or any of the animals bursting into perfectly choreographed dance sequences.

The scene when Rafiki holds Simba up for all the other animals. It’s going to be awesome in 3D. It’s already an epic moment in movie history, as “Circle of Life” plays in the background, all the animals rejoice, and we pan across the breathtakingly animated African cliffside. And when that’s all right in front of you, it’s bound to be even more incredible.

Many of us missed “The Lion King” in theaters the first time. Back in 1994, many of us weren’t old enough to see it in theaters, so the re-release gives us an opportunity that we never would have had otherwise. The theatrical experience is sure to be different, too, when we see the glorious animation on the big screen and hear the award-winning music in surround sound.

“The Lion King” is an easy way for Disney to make money. A lot of money. Playing the film in theaters is part of a larger promotional gig to celebrate the recent release of “The Lion King” on Blu-ray. So it’s likely that Disney was just thinking: “What’s a great way to make even more money off of this?” A theatrical debut in 3D answers that question easily.

The scene when Mufasa dies. In the same way that some parts will be 10 times more epic on the big screen, this part will be 10 times more depressing. There’s no way of knowing how they’ll distribute 3D until we see it, but we’ll all be incredibly sad if they make us watch Mufasa get trampled by a stampede right in front of us.

Not to mention, many of us are sick of 3D. Can we get over this gimmick already? Although that extra effect can make some movies cooler, we’re not too keen on paying an extra $4 for the glasses.

Plus, some of us have trouble adjusting to 3D colors and glasses, which can leave audience members with a real headache.

‘Human Revolution’ revamps series

In this week’s Game Freak, I wanted to get back to my roots and bring your attention to the best video game this year will offer, “Deus Ex: Human Revolution.”

Haven’t heard of it? Not surprising, since the series hasn’t had a game since 2003. Back at the turn of the millennia when the first game in the series, “Deus Ex,” was released, it was hailed as one of the best games on the market for its ability to blend genres and offer multiple ways to play.

“Human Revolution” is no different, and that’s what makes it great. In it, players have four main ways they can play the game, all of which can be blended together to create whatever

In the middle of the attack, Jensen is beaten nearly to death by an augmented human and is forced to get augmentations himself just to survive.

It takes him six months to recover from turning almost his entire body into a machine, and he continues to struggle with questions of humanity and who these mysterious attackers were.

In the process, he has to make a single choice that will influence the future of the entire world, giving the player a great deal to think about.

That’s probably one of the best things about “Human Revolution,” the way it makes the player think.

While the ability to customize gameplay and the story itself is all well and good, the best part of “Human Revolution” is its occasional difficulty. Whether starting fire fights Rambo-style or

sneaking past everyone, the odds are stacked and one bad move means a swift death.

What’s even better are the three boss fights in the story, which are hard enough to induce headaches. Difficulty is a rare commodity in video games these days. Back in the day, everything took multiple tries, and that was what made them so rewarding.

Despite how frustrating it sounds — or is — fighting these bosses over and over and over ends up being fun as players discover the tricks needed to win.

“Deus Ex: Human Revolution” is a complete game in every sense, with the occasional oddly rendered character model as its only fault. Considering its one problem is aesthetic, there’s no reason not to run out and buy this game.

This game is sure to win multiple awards, if not best game of the year.

MAILBAG A gun isn’t a gun I am writing to talk about the “Show some respect, please, and put down your piece” (editorial) put in the Sept.

7 (issue) of the Daily Wildcat. To me, it seems like whoever wrote this article seemed more “unintelligent” and “ignorant” than the people that they were trying to belittle. It has been nine months since the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords. Is there a set limit on how soon we are comfortably able to talk about guns again? It has been long enough since the incident, and she did not even die from it. The same thing happened to Theodore Roosevelt (a former president). An assassination attempt was made on his life, and he was out shooting again later that week.

It is not like the Republican Party was auctioning off Jared Loughner bobble heads or anything like that. It was not even the same gun. Whoever was “unintelligent” enough to write that “a gun is a gun” proves that they are not at all informed on article-writing and providing an intelligent story. What if a Republican got hit by a semi nine months ago, and did not die from it, and then a democratic fundraiser tried to auction off a Prius? Would we hear the same stink about it then? I believe we would not.

Then, when the party tries to address the situation by putting a different gun in the auction (the first one was already different to begin with) you still complain about that. Guns can be worth quite a bit of money, and actually serve non-lethal purposes, contrary to popular belief.

I don’t think whoever wrote this article should have been so narrow-minded when doing so. The thought process was only half-developed and was guided by narrow-minded emotion. If you are going to bash not only somebody’s political views as well as personal heritage views, you need to do so in a more intelligent way and with proper credibility.

sound off Read between the lines The Arizona Students’ Association is noble in their cause to lessen the burden on the college student looking to buy textbooks. Any well-traveled veteran of college can tell you that textbooks are way overpriced; it’s no secret. Textbooks are arguably the biggest rip-off on campus, and it’s been that way for quite some time. With that said, the enemy here isn’t the bookstore, but rather the book publishers and the professors.

Somewhere along the line, professors must have forgotten what it’s like to be a college student. It’s outrageous to pay so much for books you’ll only use for one semester. Not to mention, that’s assuming the books assigned to you are actually necessary to succeed.

How many of us have walked into class every day, waiting to crack open that brand-new book, and are met with the reality that there is nothing in the book that isn’t already discussed in class or on the slides? Even if material is coming straight from the book, it can vary from an abundance of information to only a couple small tidbits that aren’t really relevant. Professors insist you have to buy the book to succeed. To some extent it’s true, but that’s assuming that the costly book is actually being used in the course.

But your professors aren’t the only ones out to destroy your bank account.

The textbook publishing companies continually produce new editions with only the slightest of variation. A new picture here, one extra term there, and suddenly you can’t buy the discounted used book anymore. You’re forced to buy the newest edition. Even worse, your professor will play along and demand the same thing.

Year after year, students watch in horror as their tuition rises. Now tack on the always guaranteed hefty book costs and you’ll almost faint. ASA is going about this the right way. Awareness and organization need to happen before the movement to end this hostage situation can happen. Students are helplessly at the whim of the publishers and the professors who continue to allow this to happen. Open source textbooks are the way of the future. They’re low-cost, and they ensure you only pay for the material you need. In some instances, the publishers only get paid whenever the material is printed, so students can save a penny or print onto phsical paper if they need to. Either way, it’s what makes the most sense and is in the best interest of the students. Get with the movement and lower the cost for students.

Top 5 Facebook poses you should avoid significant other’ shot

It’s cute to have a picture with your boyfriend or girlfriend as your profile picture. Once you start kissing or straddling each other in your picture, it’s gone too far. Keep those pictures on your computer, where only you and your partner can see them.

Jacquelyn Abad Daily Wildcat

Billions of photos are uploaded to Facebook every month. But how many of these pictures are chosen for the prestigious profile picture?

Since its creation in 2004, Facebook has been an instant phenomenon. It has become a new form of social media that allows people to keep in touch with relatives and friends all over the world. When friend requesting someone, you can tell a lot about a person by their profile picture. To maintain a good reputation among family and friends, here is a list of Facebook poses you should avoid:

No. 1: The mirror shot

Mirror, mirror, on the wall who is the most self-centered one of all? It’s one thing to fix your hair, but it’s a bit obsessive when you begin taking pictures of yourself in front of the mirror.

Why couldn’t you have just found someone to take the picture for you? Taking pictures in front of the mirror translates to “I had nothing better to do today so I decided to pose in the mirror to find my best angles.” Save the mirror shots for Myspace, if you still have one. And if you still have a Myspace, grow up and use Facebook like every other self-respecting adult.

No. 2: The ‘I’m so cool, I flip off the camera’ shot

Only use the bird when necessary. For instance, if someone cuts you off abruptly while you’re driving on your way to class. You can then proceed to honk your horn and, as you pass them in the next lane, flash them the middle finger. But on Facebook, everyone can see your profile picture and nobody thinks you’re cool; we think you’re a juvenile.

No. 3: The ‘look how big my boobs are’ shot

We get it, you have big boobs. Girls, you don’t have to show us and the other 750 million active Facebook users. Cleavage is attractive in moderation but too much tells people you are an attention whore. It’s unnatural for your boobs to be pushed up to your chin. Try to leave a little to the imagination.

No. 4: The ‘I want everyone to know I have a

No. 5: The red cup shot

It’s college; people enjoy going out. What’re you trying to prove? Everyone parties in college. You don’t need to advertise to the entire UA campus what you did last Friday night.

Putting pictures of yourself holding a red cup creates this false perception that you are fun.

It’s apparent that you’re not if you have to try and tell everyone “look how much fun I have” with a red cup shot while you flash the peace sign. If you are going to take pictures at a party, put the red cups down.

We are all guilty of taking infamous Facebook pictures and setting them as our profile picture.

Just be careful of what messages you are sending people with your overly provocative or flashy photos. Don’t forget that a lot of people who aren’t your friend can see your profile picture.

Nothing better than explaining to an employer why you’re flipping off the camera, or telling your mother why you’re drunk, half-naked and holding a beer in a picture on the Internet.

POLICE BEAT

By Rebecca Rillos DAILY WILDCAT

Serial swimmer in Old Main Fountain A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call on Tuesday at 10 p.m. about suspicious activity at Old Main. The officer arrived at the scene and found eight men swimming in the Old Main Fountain only wearing underwear. All the men except one were identified as UA students and members of Aggie House. The men first told the officer that they were part of a swim team and recognized club at the UA. The officer recognized one of the men as a member of Aggie House and someone he had previously warned for swimming in the fountain. The man acknowledged that he had swam in the fountain about two years ago and that the officer had warned him he would be cited for trespassing if found again. The man said he had led the group over to the fountain because they had committed an infraction of the house rules and this was their punishment. The man was cited for trespassing and the others were given warnings.

Tuesday/Thursday between Noon-5 p.m.

A UAPD officer arrived at Highland Market at 3 a.m. on Monday in response to a report of an uncooperative shoplifter in custody.

Two employees told the officer that they had observed a man at the soda fountain fill up a water cup with soda several times and then walk past the cashier without paying. The employees approached the man, who denied filling up the cup and refused to pay for it. He tried to push one of the employees and escape, but they were able to block him and keep him outside. The man repeatedly told the officer that he didn’t mean to steal anything and he was sorry. He said he would pay for the drink. The man had watery, red eyes. His speech was slurred and his breath smelled like alcohol. The man was arrested on charges of shoplifting and minor in possession of alcohol in body and was transported to Pima County Jail.

Honesty is the best medicine A UAPD officer was on patrol near Coronado Residence Hall when he smelled burned marijuana. The officer approached a bench where four men were sitting. The men quickly got up and tried to leave, but the officer told them to sit back down. He explained that he had approached them because of the odor and asked if they had any marijuana with them. One of them men asked, “If I’m honest with you, can we work something out?” The officer said he could not make any deals and the man pulled a baggie and a wooden smoking pipe from his pocket. The men said they had gone to the bench to smoke some marijuana and they all smoked from the pipe. They said they did not know whom they had bought the marijuana from. The men were cited for possession of marijuana and were released at the scene.

Bloody footprints A UAPD officer went to Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall last Saturday at 3:20 a.m. in response to a man who was bleeding from the foot. A resident assistant told the officer that one of the residents had cut his foot, bled all over the men’s restroom, then gone back to his room. The officer and RAs went up to the man’s room and the officer noticed bloody footprints in the hallway leading up to the room. The officer opened the door and found the man sitting in a chair, naked, with a blank face and a bloody towel on his foot. The man refused to tell the officer what had happened. When Tucson Fire Department arrived to provide medical assistance, the man shouted obscenities at them and firefighters had to hold him down to treat the wound. When they finished, the officer advised the man to put on a pair of shorts, which he did. The man had red, watery eyes and difficulty balancing. His speech was slurred, and he had an alcoholic odor coming from his mouth. He was arrested for minor in possession of alcohol in body and booked into Pima County Jail.

Residence Life was notified to clean up the blood.

Like Alamo Bowl, lack of run game dooms UA

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

STILLWATER, Okla. — Head coach Mike Stoops sat in the Alamo Dome media room after an embarrassing loss to Oklahoma State, harping on the Wildcats’ need to run the ball in order to be successful.

Oklahoma State had just embarrassed the Wildcats 36-10 in a game in which Arizona gained only 90 yards on 38 carries, an average of 2.4 yards per carry.

That was last December.

Nine months and nine days have passed, and Arizona is still plagued by that very same issue. Stoops’ hopes for Arizona to become a more complete football team have yet to come to fruition, and the Wildcats were once again doomed by their lack of a running game as they rushed for only 49 yards on 21 carries in Thursday night’s 37-14 loss.

“Our inability to run the ball offensively leads to kind of a seven on seven game,” Stoops said on Thursday. “We move the ball, we get yards but we can’t be a complete football team. We only scored 14 points so we’ve got to find a way to run the football better.”

Arizona moved the ball through the air with ease, as Nick Foles threw for 398 yards. But those massive passing numbers meant nothing without a running game to keep the Cowboys honest and punch it in around the goal line.

Case and point, the Wildcats put

of confusion about substitutions.

After the timeout, Arizona was called for an illegal substitution penalty and then a false start on consecutive plays, and punter Kyle Dugandzic was forced to punt from the back of his own end zone, a play that Arizona was flagged on for lining up in an illegal formation.

“That’s coaching,” Stoops said. “It’s our fault … it’s bad. Just bad.”

Weeden set a single-game school record by completing 42 passes, breaking his own record of 34. The senior completed his first 13 pass attempts, and was 28-of-32 passing in the first half with 240 yards. Weeden finished the game with 397 yards and two touchdowns .

Criner ‘questionable’ for Stanford game

After missing Thursday’s game because he underwent an appendectomy, Arizona receiver may not be ready to play next Saturday, when No. 6 Stanford travels to Tucson.

“We’ll see,” Stoops said. “It’s one of those freak things that’s disappointing for him.”

M-tennis opens fall season

By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat

The Arizona men’s tennis team opens its season today in Las Cruces, N.M., playing in the Aggie Invitational at the New Mexico State Tennis Complex.

“It’s a good opportunity for (the new) guys to get out and gain some experience,” said head coach Tad Berkowitz. “I thought it was important for them right out of the gate to kind of get some competition in, get some action in. You know, just kind of get the nerves out and get the kinks out.”

The team sends some of its less experienced players in junior Frank Chen, sophomore Mario Urquidi, and freshmen Carlos Bermudez and Robin Chou. According to Berkowitz, the Aggie Invitational, while important, is a smaller event on the team’s schedule, so he typically uses it as a way to let the players gain some valuable experience.

“This tournament in years past has always been a tournament where we have tried to focus on sending our younger guys, just to get their feet wet and get them grounded,” he said.

The four players will go up against several teams from the Southwest in this regional tournament. It features the University of New Mexico, Western New Mexico University, Abilene Christian University, NAU, and host New Mexico State University.

Two of the leaders of the team, sophomores Andre Vidaller and Giacomo Miccini, will not attend this event, as Berkowitz decided to keep them fresh for the HEB Baylor Invitational, a national tournament in Waco, Texas, at the end of this month.

“I hope all the new guys (Chou) and (Bermudez) can have their first college tournament as an experience,” Vidaller said.

Emily Nielsen / The Daily O’Collegian

Running back Keola Antolin is tackled by an Oklahoma State defender in Arizona’s 37-14 loss to the Cowboys at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Okla., on Thursday. The UA run game sputtered, just as it did in December’s meeting with OSU.

together one of their best drives of the game midway through the second quarter. Down 21-0, they had a chance to get within two scores before halftime. Foles went 7-for-8 to start the drive and brought the Wildcats from their own 20 to Oklahoma State’s 8-yard-line.

On both second and third down, Arizona opted to hand it to Keola

Antolin, who rushed for only 24 yards on 13 carries on the night. Antolin gained only three total yards on the two plays, leaving Arizona with a 4th-and-3 in which the Cowboys knew Foles would take a shot at the end zone.

With OSU playing the pass, Foles’ ball to wide receiver David Douglas was broken up and Arizona lost its chance to gain ground. Failed drives like that

were one of the main reasons Arizona scored touchdowns in the red zone only 56 percent of the time in 2010.

The running game, yet again, was nonexistent thanks to an inexperienced offensive line and middle-ofthe-road running backs, and Arizona will continue to struggle against toptier opponents until it becomes multidimensional.

“I’d be an idiot to say we have to throw it all the time,” Foles said. “We’ve got to be able to run the ball. We have running backs capable. We’re very capable of running the ball. We’re going to figure it out. This was a good test.

“We need to get the ball in their hands and that will open up the pass game even more. We’ve just got to get that running game going and we will.”

Receivers Austin Hill (8 catches for 128 yards) and Dan Buckner (10 catches for 142 yards and a score) both agreed that becoming more balanced will help the receivers and Arizona’s offense as a whole.

“It makes it a little more difficult (without a run game) because (the defense) is playing so deep and off,” Hill said. “They’re running a lot of cloud on us and, when the run game isn’t working out, it’s just really tough to get open because they can just play the pass.”

Until Arizona finds a rhythm on the ground, teams will continue to play the pass and the Wildcats will continue to struggle. Stoops said he’ll stick with Antolin as the Wildcats’ No. 1 back, noting that the offensive line has to “block for him.”

With No. 6 Stanford, No. 13 Oregon and USC all coming up, Arizona will try to find that balance. If not, the Wildcats could very well be 1-4 after five games.

“Until we run the football better,” Stoops said, “it’s going to be hard to move the football the way we want to.”

Expected loss, unexpected play Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

STILLWATER, Okla. — Arizona’s football team wasn’t supposed to beat Oklahoma State.

Justin Blackmon and Brandon Weeden are too good. Juron Criner’s absence was too detrimental. The Cowboys are too complete of a team, while the Wildcats lack the necessary experience at key positions.

Waltzing into Boone Pickens Stadium and defeating a top-10 team, let alone the team that dominated every facet of the game a year ago, is a nearly impossible feat.

But those factors shouldn’t have resulted in the product Arizona put on the field on Thursday in front of Stillwater’s sea of orange.

The Alamo Bowl Part II wasn’t supposed to be in the cards for an Arizona team with revenge on its mind. The Wildcats had all offseason to prepare for this game, and faceplanting once again

didn’t seem to be an option.

But the Wildcats did exactly that.

For the second straight season, they fell behind big early and were never in the game. Their “no looking back” mantra didn’t shine through in their play and they once again came out flat against the orange and black.

Arizona’s defense made Weeden look like Tom Brady, while true sophomore Joseph Randle played the part of Adrian Peterson.

There’s no doubting that the Cowboys’ signal-caller is one of the premier arms in college football, but he shouldn’t go 28-for-32, for 240 yards and a touchdown in the first half against a secondary that’s considered a strong point of UA’s defense.

He shouldn’t complete an OSU single-game record 42 balls for 397 yards and two touchdowns against a Wildcats team that saw him two games ago.

Arizona’s only sack shouldn’t have been a result of Weeden tripping over the 41-yard line.

Against a team playing in the Conference of Quarterbacks, that just can’t happen if the Wildcats want to be relevant in 2011. The Arizona couldn’t hang with Weeden and Blackmon, and the Wildcats’ rush defense wasn’t much better.

While Randle is a special player, the Wildcats gave him hole after hole as he put UA defenders on skates and rushed for 124 yards and two scores on only 15 carries.

Weeden had all day to dissect an exposed Wildcats’ secondary torched yet again by Blackmon’s 12 catches for 128 yards and two scores, giving Randle Michael Strahan-sized gaps that even braces couldn’t close.

Simply put, the Wildcats made Weeden, Blackmon and Randle look untouchable, while failing to capitalize on their own drives. The red-zone woes that doomed them last season showed up again as Arizona couldn’t capitalize on 439 yards of total offense — 398 passing yards. Arizona’s running game was once again nonexistent as Keola Antolin rushed for 22 yards on 13 carries

(1.7 yards per carry).

Yes, it’s early in the season. Pac-12 play still hasn’t begun and the Wildcats were playing without their best player in Criner. Yes, Arizona is missing three defensive starters — Jonathan McKnight, Adam Hall and Jake Fischer — and developing an entirely new offensive line.

But Criner shouldn’t be the difference between a competitive game and yet another laugher. While Oklahoma State is a legitimate contender, the Wildcats should have learned from last season’s debacle and prevented it this time around.

But Arizona re-lived last year’s nightmare.

Albeit in a different stadium, with different stakes and different personnel, the Wildcats failed to rise to the occasion and for the second straight year never stood a chance against a superior Cowboys team.

They surely weren’t supposed to win, but they weren’t supposed to go missing in action either.

V-ball seeks sharper performance

By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat

The Arizona volleyball team dives into the unknown this weekend, taking on three teams it has never played before at the Evansville Dunn Hospitality Invitational in Evansville, Ind..

The Wildcats start tournament play today against the University of Illinois Chicago Flames. Both teams currently have 5-1 records.

On Saturday, Arizona will play two matches in one day, starting with the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks, who are currently struggling with a 2-5 record.

The team’s final competitor will be the University of Evansville Purple Aces, who have a record of 7-2.

Last week, the Wildcats swept their home invitational but didn’t play to head coach Dave Rubio’s standards.

“Simple effort level is a good place to start,” Rubio said after the Eastern Washington University match last Saturday. “Execution tends to follow effort level, and we simply weren’t exe-

cuting, providing enough energy, talking enough or moving fast enough.”

The Wildcats’ play was surprising to Rubio because they hadn’t shown any of those deficiencies in practice.

“Our practices have never been that bad,” Rubio said.

Junior setter Tori Moore said that since last weekend, practices have been going well, making the team optimistic for a rebound in Indiana.

“We had a great three days of practice, so it would be good to see us carry that over into the matches this

weekend,” Moore said. “We need to stay consistent for all three matches, and throughout each entire match, and try to eliminate any kinds of ups and downs.”

Rubio has alluded to running a 6-2 offense — with two setters on the court — instead of the team’s current 5-1.

“We are experimenting with a new offense,” Moore said. “The goal is to continue to put ourselves in a position where we look closer and closer to what we want to play like in conference matches.”

The imminent conference play was also weighing on Rubio’s mind last week. Arizona debuts in the Pac-12 next week, and he said these non-conference matches are equally important, if not more.

“It puts our playoff hopes in jeopardy, even this early in the season,” he said.

“Nonconference wins and losses are a bigger deal in terms of being chosen to the NCAA (tournament) versus conference wins. Nonconference counts and it matters.”

Soccer looks to end streak in Tempe

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s soccer team has struggled to open the season, losing its first four games.

The first step toward becoming a competitive, and winning soccer team can be accomplished with a few victories in Tempe, Ariz., this weekend.

Starting this afternoon, the Wildcats will participate in the Sun Devil Desert Classic hosted

by ASU. They will play Missouri today at 2 p.m. and will follow that up with a game against the Oklahoma Sooners on Sunday.

If they can come out of this weekend with two victories, the Wildcats will find themselves at

2-4 and momentum shifting back in the right direction.

But if they want to buck this losing trend, their work is cut out for them.

They need to score goals. Going into their game this afternoon, the Wildcats have been without a goal for a school-record 822 minutes. BYU, South Carolina, Pepperdine and San Diego State have combined to score six goals against the Wildcats.

Despite the losses, there were some positives in the scoreless streak. Against Pepperdine, ranked No. 13 in the most recent NSCAA Coaches poll, the Gordon Bates/ Daily Wildcat Wildcats outshot the opposition Forward Renae Cuellar lines up a shot against South Carolina on Aug. 26.

Overheard on campus

In Mexico, harsh charges over Twitter McClatchy Tribune

MEXICO CITY — Thirty years behind bars for a few misinformed tweets? It’s a possibility for the so-called Twitter Terrorists of Mexico.

In a case that has riled human rights groups and users of social networking sites, the state of Veracruz on Mexico’s gulf coast is pursuing tough charges including terrorism and sabotage against a man and a woman who spread rumors of an attack by drug gangs on a primary school.

The messages, the government alleges, caused hysteria among parents in the state’s port city of the same name, Veracruz. Many rushed to pull their children from classes on Aug. 25, just days into the school year. More than two dozen

car accidents were linked to the rumors, the Veracruz state interior secretary told reporters.

Thus, Gilberto Martinez Vera and Maria de Jesus Bravo Pagola are in jail facing charges that carry a maximum sentence of 30 years.

Does the punishment fit the crime?

The pair’s lawyer said the state government is unfairly seeking to make an example of Martinez, 47, a math teacher, and Bravo, 57, a well-known journalist and radio commentator.

The case also underscores what can happen when traditional media censor themselves to avoid the ire of the drug gangs, leaving a frightened public to search for vital information from other sources.

Man: There was a penis in my hand! I woke up, and I found another penis in my hand!

Submit your overheard on Twitter @OverheardAtUA

On the spot

As drug-related fighting has increased in Veracruz in recent months, attorney Fidel Ordonez argued, more citizens are turning to Twitter and Facebook to update one another on violent incidents.

Social networking often fills a void left by largely silenced local news media, he said.

This new channel of information, however imperfect, is protected free speech, Ordonez said from the Veracruz capital of Xalapa, but such speech is now under attack by the government. On Monday, his office asked a federal judge to have Martinez and Bravo released.

“There was no intent on their part to generate this situation,” the attorney said.

“They simply informed, incorrectly, but they informed.”

Co-op isn’t just a video game term So you told me earlier about medical marijuana in Arizona, and about these “co-ops.” Could you expand on that?

Surely. Medical marijuana coops are non-profit organizations that network medical patients with the caregivers that provide medicine.

Offbeat

hard to swallow

Troy Hanson

Office aide at the Finaancial Office of Matherials Science and Engineering Department

So do you know why these are allowed in Arizona while dispensaries are banned?

Since co-ops are neither a business nor pharmaceutical provider, they don’t fall into the same legal pitfalls dispensaries do.

Interesting. What do you think (Arizona Attorney General) Tom Horne would do if he realized what was happening?

Pull out the rest of his thinning hair and scream nonsense willy-nilly.

Sounds about right. If you could talk to him right now, and you only had a minute to do so, what would you say?

Considering that I’ve never met the fellow, I am most likely to spend half my time getting his attention and introducing myself, then awkwardly confront him on his disregard of facts.

Spoken like a true information warrior.
