Faculty blog targets president, provost Staff post anonymously amidst ‘culture of fear,’ call for vote of no confidence in Shelton, Hay By Alex Dalenberg and Shain Bergan Arizona Daily Wildcat

The site’s users feel they can’t speak openly about the administration because, “there is a culture of fear on this campus,” Garcia said. Faculty and staff fear dismissals and retaliation for speaking openly about President Robert Shelton and Provost Meredith Hay, he said. Garcia cites his own experience as an example of why faculty may be afraid to question the administration. The professor was forced out as vice president for instruction in June following an e-mail exchange in which he criticized Hay’s decision

UA faculty and staff “concerned about abuses of power at the UA,” have created an anonymous blog as a place to “speak openly, without fear of reprisals.” Juan R. Garcia, a professor of history who posts on the Blogspot.com site “UA Defender,” said he knows the site’s founders, and many faculty, staff, and even a few administrators, who post on the blog.

making in the project that created classes in Centennial Hall. Garcia, and several blog posters, allege there are others with similar stories who have been fired for speaking out against the administration. However, Garcia said his colleagues have asked him not to discuss their particular situations with the media. “I’m one, but there are others,” he said. The blog documents growing resistance among some faculty and

staff to Shelton and Hay. The site’s author, writing under the pseudonym Evelyn B. Hall, posted that “four month’s (sic) into her tenure as provost, the deans were ready to oust Meredith Hay over her budget over-reaching.” Among the blog’s most serious allegations: UA department heads gave Hay an unofficial straw vote of “no confidence” last fall semester.

UA makes improvements on campus

By Marissa Hopkins Arizona Daily Wildcat

New grass adorns the lawn running down the UA Mall through the heart of campus. The sight of fresh grass pleasantly greeted students this semester after it was proposed and rejected that the Mall would go without a much needed resodding.

By Rikki Mitchell Arizona Daily Wildcat UA’s campus has seen some new improvements since last semester’s budget crisis. New grass was planted on the UA Mall and two campus fountains have been turned back on. Al Tarcola, director of facilities management, said the funding for the new grass came out of revenue collected from the

various vendors who use the Mall. It did not come out of state funding, he said. “They wanted the Mall to look nice for the students and especially the new students that were coming in, so they gave us the money,”Tarcola said. Kim Didra, an art sophomore, thinks new grass on the Mall is a good investment for the UA. “A lot of people do find the Mall a pretty place to be that attracts money to the university,” she said. “It’s a small

investment that pays off because it brings more people in.” In addition to new grass, the fountain in front in the Women’s Plaza of Honor as well as the fountain in front of Old Main have been turned back on. The Old Main fountain was restored roughly a month after the spring semester ended, Tarcola said. “The Old Main fountain is a signature part of the university and represents a memorial to World War I veterans,”he said.

Alumni pay for the Women’s Plaza of Honor fountain, he said. As reported last semester by the Daily Wildcat, the fountain in the Student Union Memorial Center will only be turned on for Dec. 7, in honor of Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona, to which the student union is dedicated. The Alumni Plaza fountain in front of the Administration building will still only be turned on for Homecoming and graduation.

First year students from the colleges of Nursing, Pharmacy and Medicine came together yesterday for two hours in a few University Medical Center classrooms for a workshop designed to teach interdisciplinary communication. Preventable medical errors kill 44,000-98,000 patients each year, College of Medicine professors told students. Many of these errors cite “poor communication” as the reason. Students from these colleges, as well as the colleges of Public Health and Law, participate in a series of different inter-professional workshops throughout their years in school. The workshops are meant to promote successful interaction and understanding between the different professions because they will all be working together after graduation, said Andreas Theodorou, a clinical pediatrics professor. He said medical schools all over the country are putting together inter-professional curriculums to better help patients. This is the fourth year the health profession colleges at the UA have done the workshops, said Nancy Coleman, an associate specialist in pediatric critical care. HEALTH, page 3

Police join forces for football By Lance Madden Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona Stadium has come a long way since it was built in 1928 and held about 7,000 spectators. It now has a capacity of more than 56,000, and more fans means there’s a need for more security. Because it does not have enough officers to secure Arizona football games, the University of Arizona Police Department is reaching out to several Tucson-based police agencies for help. Tucson Police Department, Pima Country Sheriff’s Department, OroValley Police Department, the Department of Public Safety and A-TEAM Security are all contributing to the public’s wellbeing at UA football games. Sahuarita Police Department, Marana Police Department and Pima Community College Police have also been called upon for extra security at times. “We utilize (outside agencies) in the

same way we would utilize our own people as far as making assignments to ensure the safety and security of the event,” said UAPD’s public information officer, Sgt. Juan Alvarez. Prior to the first home football game each year, supervisors from each participating agency attend a special operations briefing, said Lt. Chris Olson, from Oro Valley Police Department. This briefing encompasses traffic control, basic crowd control, an emergency evacuation procedure and what to do with suspicious packages. Olson said he used to work football games when he was a UAPD officer. During games these days, he sits in one of two command centers at a high level in the stadium with lieutenants from the other agencies. This area is called the Crows’ Nest. The supervisors in the Crows’ Nest act as liaisons for the officers patrolling the stadium down below. If something needs to be shared between

agencies, a supervisor is contacted by radio, allowing the supervisors in the Crows’ Nest to discuss among themselves. They then give instructions to their own officers. This system is referred to as the Incident Command Structure, Alvarez said. Each agency is assigned its own section, or “jurisdictions,” as Olson called it. Olson estimated that each agency is represented by more than a dozen officers, though UAPD Commander Bob Sommerfeld would not release the exact number of officers used per game Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat for security reasons. “We base the number of officers on An A-TEAM Security guard helps shuffle students into Arizona Stadium last May at the Last Smash Platinum Bash.

Table tennis Olympian legally permitted to date for first time BEIJING — As the reigning table tennis world champion with two Olympic silver medals under his belt, China’s Wang Hao almost had it all — except a girlfriend. The 25-year-old was banned from dating until recently, when national team officials permitted his relationship with former national teammate, 23-year-old Peng Luyang, the government-owned China Daily reported Wednesday. “Both of them are old enough and

it’s normal,” the newspaper quoted Peng’s coach Qiao Yunping as saying. Strict control of athletes’ personal lives is common in China’s rigid staterun sporting system, which grooms young hopefuls in specialized sports schools around the country to become gold medalists, providing them with intensive training and free food, clothes and shelter. Under the watchful eye of team officials, star athletes are often banned from dating or marrying until a certain

NEW YORK — In a posthumous memoir, Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy writes of fear and remorse surrounding the fateful events on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969, when his car accident left a woman dead, and says he accepted the finding that a lone gunman asEdward Kennedy sassinated his brother President John F. Kennedy. The memoir, “True Compass,” is to be published Sept. 14 by Twelve, a division of the Hachette book group. The 532-page book was obtained early by The New York Times. In it, Kennedy says his actions on Chappaquiddick on July 18, 1969, were “inexcusable.” He says he was afraid and “made terrible decisions” and had to live with the guilt for more than four decades. Kennedy drove off a bridge into a pond. He swam to safety, leaving Mary Jo Kopechne in the car. Kopechne, a worker with slain Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s campaign, was found dead in the submerged car’s back seat 10 hours later. Kennedy, then 37, pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and got a suspended sentence and probation. Kennedy also writes in the memoir that he always accepted the official findings on his brother John’s assassination. He said he had a full briefing by Earl Warren, the chief justice on the commission that investigated the Nov. 22, 1963, Dallas shooting, which was attributed to Lee Harvey Oswald. He said he was convinced the Warren Commission got it right and he was“satisfied then, and satisfied now.” In the book, Kennedy writes candidly about his battle with brain cancer and his “self-destructive drinking,” especially after the 1968 death of his brother Robert. He also explains why he decided to run for the presidency in 1980, saying he was motivated in part by his differences with then-President Jimmy Carter. He criticized Carter’s go-slow approach to providing universal health care. The book was written with the help of a collaborator and was based on contemporaneous notes taken by Kennedy throughout his life and hours of recordings for an oral history project. — The Associated Press

New greek Rush meets mixed feelings By Michelle Monroe Arizona Daily Wildcat Before spring 2009, potential fraternity brothers were given a map of fraternity chapters and left on their own to find a match. But this year, the Interfraternity Council has added a formal night on the first night of Rush to help the 945 men signed up for Rush find their new on campus home. This year’s group of rushees were broken into more manageable groups of 30 to 45 men and required to visit four or five chapters during the formal night. But the formal night has been met with mixed reactions this year, fraternity leaders at the UA said. “When Rush was informal, our recruitment strategy was very different,” said Zach Schloss, president of Phi Kappa Tau one of the smaller chapters at the UA, which does not have a registered chapter house. “We recruited men who really had no intention of being in a fraternity,” he said of past Rushes. “We wanted to get the guys who wanted to have a good time in school but realized that school came first in priorities.” Now with 200 men attending their event during the formal night, Phi Kappa Tau finds themselves having to appeal to men who are looking for a larger fraternity with a house and a larger social agenda. Even with the influx of potential rushees, Phi Kappa Tau isn’t looking to expand their recruitment numbers to more than the 10 bids they usually offer. “The IFC (Interfraternity Council) promotes recruiting 365 days a year,” Schloss said.“It seems hypocritical, unfair and pointless to do formal Rush if you can give guys bids without going through formal Rush.” Phi Delta Theta, a small chapter with a house on campus and 17 active members,

would prefer smaller groups during the formal night so they could have more face time with potential members. “We had IFC Delegates walking groups around. We had 26 groups of men with about 30 to 50 guys in each group,” said Zach Nicolazzo, coordinator for Fraternity & Sorority Programs. That number of men was overwhelming for the smaller chapters who weren’t used to that many attendees, said Jeff Kiser, the president of Phi Delta Theta. “At one point we had 60 guys show up at our house and with 17 actives it was a little difficult to handle,” Kiser said. “Another frustrating thing about that night was having to give a house tour, because there wasn’t enough time to meet people or for them to get to know us.” Large fraternities agreed that the formal night was detrimental to their Rush process. “The groups were the right size, but there were two or three groups here at once one time,” Chris Tommarello, president of Pi Kappa Phi, a fraternity of roughly 150 active members with a house off campus. “Then there’s 120 people and it’s hard to meet everyone.” Some fraternity leaders thought the first night was beneficial. “Because we are a newer fraternity being recalled on campus it gave us some exposure to people who may not have known us,” said Chance Burns, recruitment chair for Pi Kappa Alpha.“The open house definitely helped us.” Schloss agreed that meeting more than 200 men the first night could be beneficial to other small chapters because they don’t usually see those kind of numbers, but didn’t feel it was beneficial for Phi Kappa Tau because they weren’t looking to expand. For the future, Kiser recommended that the groups be broken up into smaller numbers so active members can get a chance to

really get to know the rushees. Despite the formal night, men are not required to go to every chapter, as that would take too long, Nicolazzo said. “Perhaps at some point (all rushees will visit all houses),”Nicolazzo said.“But at this point, it’s about getting the rushees to see some different options and then encouraging them to go to many open house events rather than just going to one or two.” The Interfraternity Council was inspired by the formality of sorority Rush, but allowing rushees to go where they want is specific to fraternity rush, Nicolazzo said. Smaller chapters host events that

Community unites to prove ‘Real Men Cook’ By Ada Dieke Arizona Daily Wildcat

t’s not unusual for students to claim they want to leave Tucson upon graduation. For some, Tucson just may not have grown on them enough. But the organizers of this Sunday’s Real Men Cook event want to change those perceptions. What’s interesting about this event is that the cooks involved are all men. Approximately 40 Tucson black professionals, including businessmen, lawyers, doctors, pastors, mechanics, judges, engineers, entertainers and mortgage brokers, are slated to cook and present activities for students. This coalition of African-American leaders has organized the free barbecue to acquaint AfricanAmerican students from the UA and Pima Community College with members of the Tucson community. The event aims to extend students’ network of community advisers and mentors in the presence of good food, music and games. From kickball games to a networking scavenger hunt to volleyball, to other community members contributing food, students can partake in these activities for the duration of the event. One of the event’s local organizers, Tucson attorney Samuel E. Brown, said the event echoes the citywide “black family reunion done in Chicago and (Washington,) D.C.” He said organizers thought it would be great to have such an event

in Tucson and make it an annual one. Brown said the motivation behind such an event is the concern with students feeling that they have no real connection to the Tucson community. He also said the black community in Tucson is rather spread out, so the event serves as not only a welcome for the students, but also a get-together for the Tucson community, in addition to the Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations. The organizers are also planning to host students who are not able to go home for Thanksgiving, into their families’ home for a home-cooked meal. One question remains: Can real men cook? “Absolutely,” Brown said, laughing.

allow for more group activities and see how members work with the chapter as a whole. “I think we chose events that are easy to be social but fun to participate in,” Kiser said. “Rock climbing for example, you get to see the guys working together and hookah is really low key and easy to be social.” Chapters who have large numbers of members host different events so they can accommodate more people. “Tonight we rented out the ArcadeGame Room so that our 109 current mem-

bers can meet the 130 rushees,”Burns said. For someone going through Rush it can be a great system because they see a lot of fraternities they might not otherwise, but there may be more cons than pros, Schloss said. Nicolazzo said the new system was put in place because rushees were gravitating to some chapters without knowing what other options were available. “The process was set in place to make things a bit more equitable and to get rushees to see more of our fraternities on campus,”he said.

For yesterday’s workshop, students were broken up into small groups to watch videos of medical professionals from different fields discussing patients and treatments. They then talked about what worked well and what needed improvement in their communication skills. Each group had two nursing, medical, and pharmacy students. “I think when you watch it you see what everyone can contribute,” said Mohammad Fazel, a pharmacy student. Nursing professor Melissa Goldsmith said students were required to attend the sessions and she hopes it will really help them learn that they need to be able to communicate and voice their concerns. Theodorou said each of the colleges has to make the workshops mandatory in order to make the system work. They learned in the first year of the program that if only one college makes an activity mandatory, there would not be a varied enough turnout for the students to really meet those from the other colleges. “We keep improving every year,” he said. “You don’t even have to be in healthcare to get something out of these types of workshops.” Theodorou said College of Medicine officials have gotten feedback from students for the last couple years and most of the students say they want more workshops. One program many students suggest is a “walk in their shoes” exercise were medical students can spend a day with a nursing or pharmacy student to see what they do

and visa versa. He said they are currently working on putting something like this into action. Leslie Zuniga, a medical student, said the workshop was good for meeting different people and learning what the other is going through. Theodorou said the goal of bringing these students together for a team communication workshop is to get rid of the stereotype of, “I’m the doctor, I’m in charge, just do what I say,” and to make each of them realize that everyone’s input and knowledge is important. Newsha Sarmadnia, a pharmacy student, said she thinks requiring students to learn to work together and communicate will ultimately help the patients because they learned that patient care is the most important thing. More hands-on workshops bring students together throughout the year as well, such as a CPR practice workshop where each student gets to be a team leader on a coding simulator patient. Theodorou said this is usually the students’ favorite. Another workshop that all the students participate in, including the public health and law students, is one on how to handle flu pandemics. Theodorou said last year they held the workshop three months before the swine flu pandemic broke out, so students were already more prepared. Another strategy that is being looked into is combining semester-long classes, Clampet said. If nursing students are required to take a basic pharmacy class, they might be taking it with first year pharmacy students in the future.

I protest your protest

y mother is not the biggest Obama fan in the world. When he came to speak at my old high school in Mesa last semester, she called to ask me for ideas for her protest sign. I rattled my brain for about a millisecond, suggested “Mo’ Bama, Mo’ Problems,” and changed the subject toward a more interesting topic. (For the record, I don’t believe that the current president is the anti-Christ, nor have I succumbed to the hype that his coming to the American throne will usher in a new golden era of free lunches and popsicles.) Despite my disagreement with my mother on political affairs, I am intrigued and impressed by the fervor and determination she and her generation display in exercising their right to protest. This is not the model or spirit of protest I have witnessed in my peers. However, with a guiltless heart and cynical smirk, I am quick to point out what protest has become in the actions and thoughts of my peers: pointless. It all started with those silicone bracelets. I’ll admit, at first the idea was pretty nifty. Lance Armstrong started a fad to raise money for cancer, and soon a number of other research causes caught on. But then some grand marketing scheme started to qualify the bracelets as a form of “protest,” and things got a little fuzzy. “I’m wearing this green armband to pro-

As if a three-minute conversation with a fellow student in your high school English class was making a big impact Remy to the protest of all the Albillar “that bad stuff” happening in Sudan. columnist It was only a matter of time before the charitable cause became a fashion trend, and anyone fad savvy could market themselves as a veritable cornucopia of color-coded protest with enough silicon wrapped around their arm to produce a Pentium III. I hoped that at my arrival to college, political activism among my peers had graduated from a sweep of MTV-sponsored fashion trends to a set of ongoing, open-minded discourse. Some that would seek to open up new perspectives, expose the masses to well researched, balanced information about issues in society and what those being educated could do in order to resist said tragedies. I was disappointed. I can sum up my experience with protest among my peers in college with two vivid instances. One was a chain link fence put up in order to metaphorically stimulate conversation about the issues surrounding the border. However, it simultaneously obstructed my ability to get to the Cactus Grill from the Chemistry building in less than 20 minutes. The other was a huge construct of vulgar depictions of aborted fetuses and other

Don’t you want to see the football and basketball games?” Before I left the lively town of Sierra Vista, Ariz., this summer to return to our fine university the common question seemed to be: “If we come and visit you in Tucson, will you go to a basketball game with us?” When faced with questions about sports games, such as our ever-popular Wildcat basketball, the first question that came to my mind was whether we were talking men’s basketball or women’s basketball. This question, when asked, was usually followed by odd looks. Men’s basketball, of course — was I insane? The United States of America, home of freedom, bravery, and equality. Women have undoubtedly gained their footing in the world of sports, which didn’t even allow women to professionally participate at one point. But when held in comparison to men’s sports, it seems as though more than a few people are still snickering behind the backs of female athletes when it comes to their athletic abilities and potential. The attitude around campus is that Wildcat

nauseating images placed apparently to cause me to lose my appetite for food and to develop an appetite for the anti-abortion agenda. If anything is telling about our generation’s attitudes toward protest and its place in our lives, it is the strategy and means through which outside parties choose to protest to us. Apparently, we can only be persuaded through shock and awe tactics, guilt trips and physical barricades decorated with sob stories. At least the infamous Brother Jed occasionally instigates and prompts dialogue. I’m not trying to say that protest or creating awareness is bad, irrelevant or stupid. I am saying that the means through which I have watched the majority of my peers attempt to carry out these activities has been less than impressive and somewhat lazy. Though I will admit, I have watched a number of young, grass root activists stand in the hot sun and do their best to start honest conversations, inform the public and give them an opportunity to support a cause or protest through their time or their cash. But for all those“protesting X cause by raising awareness through X,”stop kidding yourself. Your commemorative, fashionable armband, pin, t-shirt or hat is not a legitimate form of protest. It’s an excuse to give yourself a pat on the back. — Remy Albillar is a junior majoring in English. He can be reached at letters@wildcat. arizona.edu.

Wilma who?

men’s basketball is the only basketball that matters. On a metaphorical ladder of sports significance, Wildcat women’s basketball falls on the bottom rung, not only in the eyes of UA sports fans, but Arianna seemingly in the eyes of Zona Zoo officials as well. Carter According to the Arizona Athletics Web site, tickets columnist for a full season of Wildcat women’s basketball cost anywhere from $40-$85. On the other hand, ticket prices for a season of Wildcat men’s basketball range from $100-$1500. To most college students, $85 is anything but a small amount ($85 could buy a lot of ramen noodles after all), but it truly is chump change considering that the highest price for men’s season tickets is almost 18 times more expensive than the highest priced women’s season tickets. Luckily for us, that’s where the Zona Zoo pass comes in handy. For a one-time payment of $125, students can gain access to any Wildcat home sporting event. The Zona Zoo Web site does urge students, however, to reserve their seats to the men’s basketball home games online as soon as possible to guarantee their admission. There’s no such tip on the Web site concerning women’s basketball (or any other women’s sports for that matter), suggesting that these events aren’t the most popular amongst students and Tucsonans. Our female athletes undoubtedly train just as faithfully as their male counterparts, but

the price of tickets suggests that no one would pay more than $85 for a measly season of Wildcat women’s basketball. They’re just women, after all and anything women can do (dribbling, dunking, passing, childbearing?) men can supposedly do better. If our society truly has moved past the point of gender discrimination, why are women’s sports still treated as insignificant in how it is sold to the public? To answer this question I read an article entitled “Men, Women, and Sports: Audience Experience and Effects” by Walter Gantz, Ph.D, and Lawrence Wenner, Ph.D,. Their article noted, “… sports regularly broadcast on television have been classified as having a masculine rather than a … feminine gender orientation … (and) as a result numerically and proportionally more men

n case you didn’t know, GQ just released a list of the “25 Douchiest Colleges” in America. First the good news: the UA did not specifically make the list. Now the really good news: Arizona State University was ranked number 14. Finally, the bad news: the UA did get a not so “honorable mention” under ASU’s category — “Duke, any state school in Florida or Arizona, U. of Delaware, Dartmouth.” It was great, indeed almost a dream come true, that our long held views of ASU were validated by as reputable a style guide as GQ. If you’re curious as to what the main type of douchebag who attends ASU is, then you’re in luck! GQ broke it down for us. ASU happens to be the home of the “Show Us Your Tits!” douche, and named students enrolled at the largest public research university in America, “Most likely to inadvertently find an Internet picture of that girl from your Robert Ludlum seminar, sunburned and topless while vomiting a melon-ball shooter through her nose.” Sounds like a party! Except for the seminar. Although, I doubt ASU students actually attend class anyway. Who would have guessed that an institution of such high standards could attract the kind of riff-raff whose favorite pick-up line, according to GQ, is, “I like your boobs,” and whose fraternities occasionally pull pranks like vomiting milk from a bridge into oncoming traffic and causing an accident? For those of you who don’t know, a douchebag is a person, nearly always a male, who walks around with feelings of entitlement and arrogance while engaging in obnoxious, selfish, misogynistic or otherwise annoying speech, dress or behavior. Think Bradley Cooper’s character in the movie “Wedding Crashers.” Basically, douchebag is a term used to stereotype

a large group of people. We can thank the likes of “South Park” and “The Daily Show” for its enormous jump in popularity over the last decade, and though its meanings are numerous, the Oxford English Dictionary describes the term as, “a general term of disparagement, esp. for an unattractive or boring person.” What are some other words through history you can think of that stereotype a certain social gathering of people? Hippie is a good one. So are preppy, stoner, jock and goth. All of these are comparable, but none so fun and worthy of appreciation as douchebag. Even the Urbandictionary.com agrees. It defines the word “douchebaggery” as, “the greatest word of all time.” No need to convince me, Urban Dictionary. The fact that ASU was only 14 on the list is troubling to me. That means there are 13 more colleges in America that may not equal ASU’s douchebags in sheer number, but who surpass them in the qualities required to make someone a douchebag. Thirteen is a lot! Thankfully, though, we here at the UA don’t generally have to deal with any of the top 13. I’m convinced that ASU can one day soon surpass the rest on the list to become number one. I will relate to you a quote from the fictional, yet very realistic, ASU student Roger McFeelin as stated in GQ, “I had such an awesome time in Cancun. I got really f-ing tan, the girls were hot, and the Ecstasy was almost pure. I was like; I wish Cancun was a college! Then I realized — it is!” GQ and I agree that the only thing easier to get into than ASU is its fraternity of douchebags once you’re there, and the hardest thing to get into at ASU is the Student Health Services Center. — Chris Ward is a senior majoring in English.

watch … sports.” With the American society and sports spectatorship vastly dominated by men and, ultimately, some male chauvinistic minds, it’s easy to see why, as fewer women’s sports are broadcast on television it causes women’s sports in general to be regarded as less than entertaining. When women wish to participate in activities considered masculine, they are stereotyped as less competent than men, especially in athletics. We should raise the prices of tickets to female sports; the severe distinction in the prices only validates stereotypical views and sexist advertising that has kept the public, like our school, from entertaining the idea that watching women’s sports can be just as entertaining as men’s. — Arianna Carter is a creative writing junior.

POLICEBEAT By Michelle Cohen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Who steals a gas cap … twice?

A woman called the University of Arizona Police Department at 7:06 p.m. on Aug. 26 to report her Jeep’s gas cap was stolen when she parked at 1510 E. Second Street. She said she parked there at 7 a.m. and when she came back at 6:30 p.m. her gas cap was missing. The woman added this was the second time her gas cap has been stolen, the last time was on Aug. 24 from the same parking lot. The woman said she didn’t know anyone who would steal her gas caps. There are no suspects.

Traffic stop turned marijuana arrest

A UAPD officer responded to assist a Tucson Police Department officer on a traffic stop in the area of Sixth Street and South Santa Rita Avenue at 10:58 p.m. on Aug. 26. The TPD officer informed the UAPD officer he conducted a traffic stop on a gray, new model, four door BMW for not having a license plate. He located a small bag of suspected marijuana under the driver seat and a glass bong under the passenger seat with suspected marijuana residue. He spoke to the two male occupants separately and both admitted they knew the marijuana and bong were in the car. They said they planned on smoking it after they ate. The driver said the marijuana was his roommate’s and he had smoked from the bag earlier that day without the car passenger. The passenger originally told the TPD officer the marijuana and bong belonged to the driver but later said he didn’t know who it belonged to. The driver was not handcuffed when he spoke with the TPD officer in the back seat of his police car. He took full responsibility for the marijuana and bong and both men allowed TPD and UAPD officers to search their sides of their rooms and community area at Coronado Residence Hall. Both men were cited and released for possession of marijuana and possession of narcotic paraphernalia, and both agreed to meet the officers at Tyndall Parking Garage after they parked the BMW. The officers and men went to Coronado and explained the situation to resident assistants, who met them at the room. The driver’s roommate wasn’t there and no phone number was given. The officers conducted searches of the driver’s room and passenger’s room without finding any contraband or paraphernalia. The officers thanked the men for their cooperation. TPD and UAPD case

numbers were given to the RAs and a Code of Conduct violation on both men was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.

Incoherent woman locks herself in bathroom stall

A UAPD officer was dispatched to Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall at approximately 11:02 p.m. on Aug. 25 because an intoxicated woman locked herself in a restroom stall on the second floor of the building. An RA who met the officer outside the restroom said the intoxicated UA student locked herself in a the stall and had been throwing up in a plastic bag. The officer went into the restroom and asked the woman several questions but couldn’t understand her responses because her speech was thick and slurred. There was also a strong odor of alcohol coming from the stall. The Tucson Fire Department responded and decided to take the woman to University Medical Center. She was referred to the Dean of Students Office diversion program.

You won’t like me unhappy

A woman called UAPD at 1:49 p.m. on Aug. 28 because she was having problems with her roommate at Pueblo de la Cienega Residence Hall. She said her roommate’s father approached her and she felt threatened. The woman was present when the officer arrived, but the man had left an hour earlier. She said she had been having problems with her roommate when her roommate’s father came into the room and asked to speak with her outside. The man told her he was not happy, that she won’t like him unhappy and he was going to resolve this issue. Her roommate is moving out of the room and will tell the woman when her and her father are returning through the RA on duty so she can leave the room.

Larceny at the express

A man contacted the UAPD at 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 25 after his blue Verizon Wireless Blitz cellular phone was stolen from the Student Union Memorial Center. The man said he left his phone on a table on the east side of Panda Express while he went to get a drink and when he came back the phone was gone at 8:45 p.m. He tried to call his phone twice but the calls were ignored. He said he will be reporting the stolen phone and closing his account. There are no suspects.

BLOG

continued from page 1

Garcia: ‘I don’t like bullies... Hay is a bully.’

at the time to stand up to Hay, they decided to “give her a break,” after which the provost replaced many of them. The blog also states it is “imperative” that faculty and staff move this semester for a vote of “no confidence” in Hay and Shelton. Posters to the blog also expressed frustration with Hay taking over the general education program at the university. The University-Wide General Education Committee, which had overseen the UA’s General Education program, has seen its abilities and responsibilities shrink as the Provost’s Office exerts more control, the blog said. The blog’s author said the general education committee was originally told it would be disbanded. But after some members protested, the committee was told it would remain, but take a submissive role to Hay’s decision-making on general education matters, the blog said. Faculty should decide curriculum, the blog states, not administration. “Let’s be clear. That’s not the way it’s done,” the UA Defender said. “It’s wrong. It is illegal. It will not stand.” After first accepting an interview request, the Provost’s Office deferred comments to Johnny Cruz, media relations director for University Communications.

UA President Robert Shelton spoke to the university in his address about the future of the UA, Thursday afternoon, November 13, 2008. Roxana Vasquez/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

“We can’t comment on that right now,” Cruz said. An e-mail sent to Shelton’s office seeking comment Thursday afternoon was not returned by press time. Garcia stressed that “UA Defender” is not an attack site, but dedicated to a civil discussion of the issues facing campus. “I know the people are determined to keep it civilized. We will not devolve to personal attacks,” Garcia said. “People commenting are encouraged to speak to the welfare of the UA community.” As the blog gains exposure, Garcia said he hopes faculty feel more comfortable to

voice their grievances. “People are waiting to see what happens to the leaders,” he said. The blog’s authors assure posters that the UA can’t track who writes on the blog, especially if it’s written from a non-UA e-mail account. “It is safe,” Garcia said. “But people are being careful because they are highly vulnerable.” The professor himself said he isn’t afraid to put his own name behind his opinion. “I don’t like bullies,” Garcia said. “And this administration is a bully. Hay is a bully. They won’t back down unless you confront them.”

during the game, Olson said. All officers are required to fill out a UA application and go through the school’s human resources department. “That way, we’re identified under the same workman’s compensation’s insurance and liability insurance that all University of Arizona employees are covered under,” Olson said. To keep the football games as safe as possible, the officers encourage spectators to pay attention

to the instructions as they are given, Alvarez said. “We depend on the cooperation of the people that attend these events to make them safe,”Alvarez said. Security at UA football games has become more sophisticated than it was during the days when only 7,000 people could attend. “The U of A, they’ve been doing it for so long, they really have it down to an art,” Olson said. “The operation plan is very specific, it’s systematic. It’s well done, is what it is.”

Central Michigan vs. Arizona

Wildcats won’t overlook CMU

Analysis: Stopping LeFevour By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Roxana Vasquez/Arizona Daily Wildcat

From left, graduated linebacker Ronnie Palmer, defensive tackle Earl Mitchell, linebacker Xavier Kelley and defensive end Ricky Elmore chase a Toledo ball rusher in their Sept. 6, 2008, game at Arizona Stadium. Arizona will open their season at 7 p.m. against Central Michigan at home.

By Brian Kimball ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After five weeks of rigorous preparation, the Arizona football team can finally line up against players in different jerseys when the Wildcats take on Central Michigan Saturday night at 7 at Arizona Stadium. Despite throttling a Mid-American Conference team last year — a 41-16 win against Toledo in the second week of the season — the Wildcats know this MAC team, although not well known on the West Coast, should prove to be a formidable foe. “They’re very underrated and people tend to look past them, but we can’t do that. We’ve just got to go out there and treat them like we would treat anybody else,” said UA wide receiver Delashaun Dean. “It’s the first game of the year and everybody’s going to be anxious. We’ve just got to calm down and do what we do best.”

Arizona shouldn’t have much trou- rid of it quick but then they’ll take their ble taking Central Michigan seriously, shots, so they stretch you in some difespecially considering the résumé of ferent ways.

back Nic Grigsby. “They have experience, they have one of the top quarterbacks (in the country) and he’s going to lead the offense and keep them in the game. We just have to do our part on offense and pull away and help our defense out.” But the most intriguing part of Saturday’s contest will be when the UA defense is on the field to see how it will try and contain LeFevour. Central Michigan averaged nearly 30 points per game last season, and the Chippewas were picked by national media to win the MAC this season. However, the Wildcats hope Central Michigan’s scoring average doesn’t start the year off with a bang. “It’s a real good offense, I’ll give them credit,” said UA cornerback Devin Ross. “But we play in the (Pacific 10 Conference) and we see good offenses all the time. If we just come out and prepare good all week, then we’ll be prepared for Saturday.”

The Central Michigan Chippewas have been a mid-major powerhouse for the past three years, thanks in large part to quarterback Dan LeFevour. “Dan’s brought a lot of stability to the program,” Central Michigan head coach Butch Jones said. “I can’t say enough about what he’s done. In his three years as a starting quarterback he’s led us to two conference championships and three straight bowl games.” LeFevour has a strong throwing arm with good accuracy and he runs the ball like a fullback. If that doesn’t intimidate the Wildcat fan enough, then perhaps this will: LeFevour has been tabbed by media as the Tim Tebow of non-BCS schools. What makes LeFevour so valuable, though, is his ability to lead and to make other players around him better. “He’s got a workman-like attitude, he’s extremely humble,”Jones said.“He elevates the games of others around him and I think that’s truly the mark of a great player.” So how do the Wildcats defend against such a multi-talented QB? “He’s a very good quarterback so we can’t give him too many openings,”senior UA safety Cam Nelson said.“Our d-line has to get a lot of pressure on him, and our secondary is going to mix it up in the backend and try to confuse him.” When defending a mobile quarterback a defense must adjust, and the player that has the most responsibility is the middle linebacker. “I’ll be doing a lot more than usual this week,”middle linebacker Vuna Tuihalamaka said. “I’ll be doing a lot of spying on the quarterback, but chasing him around and trying to stop him is fun.”

Olson’s secretary dies of cancer Soccer in By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Ask anyone in the Arizona Athletics Department what they remember about Monica Armenta and each person will say the same thing. “I’m getting so many e-mails and phone calls,” said Armenta’s mother, Leonor Benitez, of her daughter’s death.“That’s the first thing they say is that amazing smile.” Armenta, the secretary to former UA men’s basketball coach Lute Olson, succumbed to an incurable brain tumor Friday morning at the age of 40. “I was there, I had my hand on her chest when she took her last breath and her brother and sister were there (too),” Benitez said.“I had my iPod and she was listening to music all through

her death. George Harrison, ‘My Sweet Lord,’ was on the iPod when she died.” Diagnosed with cancer in December 2000, just days before Olson’s wife Bobbi died of cancer, Armenta fought the illness with three surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy. Through her own struggles, Armenta never wanted people to feel sorry for her. She was always thinking of others, coworker Marissa Elias-Castaneda said. “She was taking care of everyone else and you would have never known that she was battling because she kept everything to herself,” Elias-Castaneda said. “(She was) very private about it and never wanted anyone to feel sorry for her.” And she never felt sorry for herself, either. In fact, Benitez said her daughter took her illness in stride, bonding with Carlos Valencia, a 16-year-old Sal-

pointe Catholic High School student who died of leukemia in 2004. “They (had) a very strong bond,” Benitez said. “(Armenta) said, ‘You know Mom, better me than him. … Let it be me. I’ll take it.’” In the office, Armenda was just as selfless, assisting Olson from 200508. But whenever other employees needed a hand, she was always there for them, too. Former coworker Stella Montante said Armenta’s helpfulness around the office continued into their offtime, where the two and their group of friends would celebrate birthday parties at Frog ’n Firkin. But during casual conversations, she would never lose her friendliness. “If you asked her if she wanted to gossip, she wouldn’t gossip,” Montante said, laughing. “She was just a

great friend.” As for Benitez, the loss of her daughter was a longwinded road. While Armenta was having an MRI two Wednesday’s ago, her mother had a realization: Sometimes, fighting the inevitable isn’t needed. Reading an article in the Arizona Daily Star, Benitez realized that allowing nature to take its course was for the best. “We had been fighting and fighting to keep her alive and in (the article it) talked about, sometimes, we have to recognize that death is trying to run its course,” Benitez said. “Let’s not poke her anymore, no more injections in the stomach, no more chemo. We’re just going to start concentrating on the quality of her life to her death.” “She was at peace when she died.”

Wildcats return home Volleyball expects weekend sweep, won’t lose focus By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Nevada, Houston and Eastern Washington — not exactly teams that strike fear into the hearts of Arizona volleyball. And while the Wildcats aren’t expecting any major upsets this weekend, there is still no room for relaxing. “I think all the teams are good, capable teams. We’ve seen them on film and I think they’re good; they’re physical,”said head coach Dave Rubio. “And with the score being only to 25, there’s so many things that can happen in a game of 25.” The coaching staff and the players are not taking any team lightly, especially during their quest to return to the NCAA tournament. “I think they’re for sure (going) to be a challenge,” junior outside hitter Whitney Dosty said. “We played New Mexico State during spring, and they were pretty challenging, but we’ll see

when they get here.” For Arizona, the non-conference schedule is a key to their post-season success. In hoping to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three years, no team can be taken lightly. “Every match counts and carries weight. Each week is different,” Rubio said.“You’re hoping your team can demonstrate some kind of consistency.” Consistency is something that Arizona struggled with last season. An up-anddown season is something the Wildcats are trying to avoid this year, especially on the road. After taking the first three victories on the road in Louisville, Ky., last weekend, it’s home sweet home for the Wildcats. Arizona welcomes their opponents to the 25th Wildcat Classic this weekend, beginning with a match against the Nevada Wolf Pack at 11 a.m. on Friday. Like the Wildcats, the Wolf

Pack returned all five starters and its libero for the 2009 season. In the nightcap, Arizona faces a young Houston squad led by 24-year head coach Bill Walton. The Wildcats have had success against the Cougars, going 6-1. Houston and Arizona first met in the Wildcats opening volleyball season in 1977. Before Arizona football takes the field at Arizona Stadium, the Wildcats welcome the Eastern Washington Eagles just across the street. A familiar team to the Arizona pre-conference schedule, the Eagles have lost every match against the Wildcats in their six meetings. For the players, especially veterans who have been through the tough road struggles, Lute and Bobbi Olson Court is a welcome sight. “It’s going to be fun playing in McKale again. We haven’t been in here in a while,” Dosty said. “I think everyone is looking forward to that.”

search of first win By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

After an early Wednesday morning practice, Arizona soccer head coach Dan Tobias had a stern message for his team: Forget about your youth league success or run the risk of becoming a subpar team. “Everything you did as a youth player got you here, but some people figure out quicker than others that some of their old habits are going to work and some aren’t,” Tobias said. “They’re going to have to scrap some of the old habits and make a few changes.” The Wildcats head to Tempe, Ariz. to play in the Sun Devil Desert Classic against No. 14 Virginia today and Old Dominion on Sunday. Arizona expects the Cavaliers to be a tough test. “We played them two years ago and they were a very high pressure team,” said goalkeeper Devon Wharf. “We have to be ready to be patient on the ball, and if they do high pressure us, we have to be confident under pressure.” The last time Arizona went up against Virginia was on Sept. 16, 2007, and the Wildcats were shut out 4-0 in the Nike Soccer Classic. “Virginia is a very good team,” Tobias said.“Their coach Steve Swanson is one of the best coaches in college soccer. They’re typically a very skilled team and an attacking-oriented team.” The Wildcats have had tougher practices this week in preparation for their difficult upcoming schedule. “We play one of the toughest schedules in the country every year, SOCCER, page 8

Central Michigan vs. Arizona Wildcats fans will witness the beginning of the Matt Scott/Nick Foles timeshare a la Kurt Warner/Matt Lienart from 2007-2008. You would think that Stoops’ squad would run the ever-so-popular “Wildcat” offense with these two. Too good to be true? The twoquarterback system may not be the bright spot for UA, but the ’Cats’ superior talent on both sides of the ball should result in a Central Michigan shellacking. When your best alumnus is Chris Kaman, you know you’re in trouble. Arizona 56, Central Michigan 10

It’s the first game of the season and everyone is anxious to see what Arizona will do for an encore after its first bowl game in 10 years. It’ll be interesting how this quarterback situation plays out: It’s mind boggling that Arizona coaches can’t name a damn quarterback. Either they’re both so good or both so bad that the coaches can’t decide. This is not preseason NFL — every quarterback shouldn’t get to play. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Chippewas pull off an upset because their QB is a beast of a ball player. Arizona 27, Central Michigan 24

At first glance, this seems like a trap game for the ‘Cats. They don’t have a quarterback, and Central Michigan, which has gone to three straight bowl games, has a potential All-American signal caller in Dan LeFevour. But if you really look at it, Arizona is much more talented at almost every position other than QB — that has to count for something. Arizona 34, Central Michigan 17

Georgia vs. Oklahoma State Two words: Dez Bryant. Meet Randy Moss, version 2.0. Bryant should have a field day with the Cordillera Lodge and Spa Hotel staff — oops, wrong Bryant (see Kobe). Expect this Cowboy’s offense to come out of the gates faster than Usain Bolt minus the unitard. With quarterback Matthew Stafford enjoying the perks of the Lions offensive line and running back Knowshon Moreno yearning for Jay Cutler, expect the Bulldogs to get spurred by the Cowboys on the road. Oklahoma State 38, Georgia 14

It’s amazing that the Bulldogs are No. 11 considering they lost Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno to the NFL. The most interesting thing about Oklahoma State is their head coach, Mike Gundy, who always has the potential to go nuts in the postgame press conference. Let’s just hope Georgia wins so we can hear what a man Gundy is and how he’s now 42 years old. Georgia 28, Oklahoma State 17

Dez Bryant is a stud at wide receiver and Zak Robinson could blossom into the third primetime quarterback in the Big 12 Conference. As is the case with the Big-12 (ask the Oklahoma Sooners about last January), they play terrible defense, and as is the case with the SEC, they play great defense (again, ask the Sooners about last January). Fortunately for the Cowboys, Georgia lost too much talent to compete this year. Oklahoma State 38, Georgia 24

Virginia Tech vs. Alabama Can ’Bama rebound from its embarrassing loss to Utah in the Sugar Bowl? Absolutely. Virginia Tech will be without sophomore starting running back Darren Evans and his torn ACL for this contest and likely the entire year. Don’t be surprised if recently released inmate Mike Vick scrounges up a year of eligibility to hop in the backfield for his alma mater. OK, maybe not. Maybe Marcus Vick? Dog fighter or no dog fighter, an injury-ridden Tech team will be toppled by the Crimson Tide. Alabama 27, Virginia Tech 14

This may be one of the most exciting games of the weekend. Both teams didn’t schedule a weak team that no one has ever heard of — you know, one of those teams that top 10 ranked teams schedule for the season opener every year. This game should be a defensive battle and the Hokies’ kicker should beat out Alabama’s kicker. Virginia Tech 12, Alabama 9

Cross-country opens in Flagstaff By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona cross-country will compete in their 2009 opener tomorrow, taking on fellow state universities NAU and ASU in Flagstaff. And if there is such thing as a homecourse advantage, the NAU Lumberjacks probably have one. “You can definitely feel it,” head coach James Li said of the city’s elevation. “But that’s good. We’re going to be running our first team competition there, which is

kind of a good look at everyone.” Since the meet will not help or hurt the team’s chances in Pacific 10 Conference or NCAA meets, the Wildcats will possibly hold out top runners, allowing Li to focus on the performances of the less-proven runners, senior Dylan Fitzpatrick said. Scouting the Lumberjacks, Li said they have a “geographical advantage” in dealing with the elevation. That conjecture was proven true last year when NAU beat both of the Division I schools. “I think (the elevation is) mental and

physical,”junior Maggie Callahan said.“I did it my freshman year and I don’t remember anything different with the elevation. “We did a workout last year, though, but I did notice being a little short of breath,” she added.“I think if it’s something you’re thinking about, you’ll notice it more.” The trip up north will also serve to improve team chemistry. Fitzpatrick said past teams have bunked in cabins together and have done team-bonding activities during the day. “It’s almost like a mini-cross-country camp,”Li added.

Alabama has a stingy defense and one of the most athletic wide receivers in sophomore Julio Jones. Virginia Tech seems to be a team that’s falling victim to preseason hype — one of those teams that the media loves but never pans out. Since Alabama doesn’t have to play Florida this season, this might be their toughest test, and it shouldn’t end up being that difficult. Alabama 27, Virginia Tech 13

SOCCER continued from page 7

Cuellar to play against Virginia

and it puts us in a position where training has to be sharp so we’re that much more prepared to play.” Tobias said sophomore forward Renae Cuellar will be available this weekend after she sat out Sunday’s game against San Diego for undisclosed reasons. The Wildcats expect to have their work cut out for themselves this weekend, but four games into the

season, the team feels the pressure to earn their first win. “I think there is a little pressure on our shoulders to get that first win and there should be,” Wharf said. “We’ve just been unlucky with a lot of things. I mean, two penalty kicks in two games; that’s something you don’t want to start the season (with), but we’re going to come through and hopefully we get our first win Friday.”
