The student voice of the University of Arizona since 1899

Colleges combine, uncertainties remain By Devlin Houser ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT As part of a sweeping reformation of the UA, four colleges have been united under a larger administrative unit called the Colleges of Letters, Arts and Science. The idea is to eliminate administrative redundancies while increasing communication among the colleges. The consolidated colleges are the colleges of science, social and behavioral sciences, humanities and fine arts. Under the new structure, the colleges will keep their autonomy, professors will be unaffected in their day-to-day routines and students pursuing interdisciplinary studies will have easier access to advising.

The consolidation was prompted by the enacted and expected budget cuts, said Dean of the College of Science Joaquin Ruiz. Ruiz is now on double-duty as the executive dean of the colleges. There are advantages to both the old and new structures, he said. As independent entities, the colleges can more easily develop a culture “that allows you to do things more exquisitely,” he said. However, this comes at the expense of communication amongst the colleges and the tax and tuition dollars. While the restructuring may be new to many faculty and students, it is not a new structure in the world of higher education. Similar structures are in place at Arizona State University and

Michigan State University. The UA itself even utilized a similar structure in the early 1980s. Ruiz said the changes are a boon to students of interdisciplinary studies because advising for these students will be moved from University College to the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, thereby making advising more accessible to IDS students. “I’m very excited about this because what the structure is also going to allow us to do is to have a pile of interdisciplinary programs that don’t fit in any of the existing colleges,” he said. Despite UA officials’ initial reticence on the question of whether the consolidation would result in job and salary

cuts, Ruiz answered with an unequivocal “yes” to both, though the particulars of the matter are still being worked out. “I would hope that we have solid plans in no more than a month,” he said. One roadblock faced by UA officials has been that the Arizona Legislature has not yet passed a budget. Until it does, the university must rely on its best guesses to guide the restructuring process. Sociology professor Celestino Fernandez agreed that most instructors would not be greatly affected by the changes, as they largely take place at administrative levels. While some departments’

structures have been changed, such as the Department of Political Science becoming the School of Government and Public Policy, Fernandez said others, including his own, have not seen changes “at the present time.” “The commitment (from administration officials) is that it’s not going to affect students already in the pipeline,” he said. The initial request for restructuring came from Provost Meredith Hay, who left many of the details to be shaped by feedback from professors and others at the departmental level, he said. About 75 “white papers,” or comments and suggestions, were received and have COLLEGE, page 3

Shelton on UA’s budget ordeal This week, the UA heads into a new semester in the midst of what President Robert Shelton called “the most difficult economic time in many generations” in an e-mail to university employees sent last night. In part one of a two-part series, the Arizona Daily Wildcat sat down with President Shelton to discuss his plans for coping with an unstable and shrinking budget.

UA falls in college rankings By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT U.S. News and World Report released its annual college rankings Thursday, with the UA getting knocked down a few rungs from last year. The university’s 2010 overall ranking was 102, down from 96 in 2009. The university was at a four-way tie with the University of Missouri, University of Oklahoma and Florida State University. President Robert Shelton said he was unconcerned by the numbers, as the ranking method employed by U.S. News and World Report does not accurately reflect the mission of the UA. “Our mission is to go fairly deep into the applicant pool, and ensure that those students who are hard-working and of good quality, can still get a quality education,” he said.

In 2008 U.S. News & World Report listed UA in the top tier of its “Best National Universities” and 45 among public universities according to admissions. Charlie Silverman, a pre-business freshman, said he came to the UA for the reputable Eller College of Management. He also said that college rankings affects students’ futures “100 percent.” He said that he knows a lot of incoming freshman who look at college rankings, however that was not a deciding factor in his descion to come to the UA. “In the L.A. Times they have statistics of starting business salaries, which are a lot higher at the University of Southern California and Ivy Leagues,” Silverman said. The methodology behind the school rankings breaks down into three steps. First schools are categorized based on their “mission.” Each school has

a different focus, with liberal arts colleges tending to focus on undergraduate education, and larger universities tending to focus on masters and doctoral programs. Next, U.S. News and World Report collects information from the colleges for up to 15 indicators reflecting academic achievements. Each factor is then weighed based on importance. Schools are then ranked in each category against their peers based on the scores that are formed. Not all schools are ranked — Some of the unranked schools are listed separately, if they do not use SAT or ACT test scores in the admissions process or if there was a lack of responses on the peer assessment surveys for academics. This year, 91.2 percent of the 1,477 colleges and universities that were surveyed, returned their statistical information, according to the U.S. News and World Report

Daily Wildcat: What do you perceive to be the biggest challenges facing the university this year, and what are your plans to address those challenges? Shelton: Well, the obvious one, the elephant in the room, is the budget. We don’t have a state budget yet. We know the biggest cut we can take because there is a limit — called “maintenance of effort” — applied by the U.S. Department of Education on any state that takes (federal) fiscal stabilization funds. Our governor wonderfully has taken all that was available, about $830 million, and distributed that to K-12 and the universities. If you accept those funds, then you as a state can’t cut the state budget for K-12 or the universities below 2006 levels. We’re much closer than the other two state universities to that level. Does that mean that the UA has received more cuts than the other two universities? No, it means that over the years money has come out in different ways. For example, ASU has, appropriately, received a lot of enrollment increase money because they’ve increased enrollment. They should get that money; fair is fair. That growth is something we haven’t taken on, although we’re changing that a bit this year. So, the budget is a major situation. How are we dealing with that? Well, for this year we do have a little over $60 million from the federal government through Gov. Brewer’s office in fiscal stabilization funds. We’re using that to try to get through the year, to plug a lot of holes and to mitigate the tuition surcharge. Because that’s one-time funding, correct? That’s one-time funding. Last March the regents added a tuition surcharge SHELTON, page 6

Ryan Jenkins

LOS ANGELES — VH1 will not air the reality shows with a contestant whose wife was found dead Sunday of an apparent suicide at a Canadian motel. Both shows featured Ryan Jenkins, the contestant sought in the killing of his model ex-wife. A network spokesman said Monday that both “Megan Wants a Millionaire” and “I Love Money 3” have been canceled. Jenkins had been one of 17 wealthy bachelors vying for the love of former “Rock of Love” contestant Megan Hauserman on “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” which the network pulled off the air after three episodes. Jenkins was also a participant on the not-yet-aired “I Love Money 3,”a series featuring contestants from various VH1 reality shows competing for cash. — The Associated Press

Restructuring ‘a really good idea’

been used to guide the reorganization. Fernandez emphasized that while the restructuring is a major change, it is only one of many such changes that have molded the university throughout its history, and only one of many that continue to mold the university during this latest transformation process. Students are more affected by the budget cuts through larger class sizes than by the reorganization of the colleges, he said. Katie Bailey-Groh, a creative writing senior, was unaware of the changes to her college, the College of Humanities, but said she hoped the changes would not adversely effect students.

Students are not the only ones feeling some apprehension about the change. The transformation has been met with resistance in some quarters, Ruiz said, though he declined to elaborate. “I just hear,” he said, and left it at that. Despite lingering uncertainties, Ruiz and Fernandez agreed that the consolidation of the colleges is seen by most as a positive change and not as a necessary evil, though Ruiz admitted the change probably would not have occurred without the budget cuts as an impetus. “Crisis can create really bad ideas and really good ideas,” he said. “I think this is a really good idea.”

A true education Gabriel Schivone olumnist

n ironic anecdote that some of us may know, usually attributed to Mark Twain, is of some relevance the first week of classes: “I never let school get in the way of my education.” Such words at first often induce a smirk on the face of the listener, at the line’s wry wordplay. But if considered in an open-minded way, the catchy saying begins to reveal an intensely clear portrait of young people’s capability of taking control of their lives at this critical time. This is a time when we are, for the most part, suddenly removed from the cobwebs of institutional authority we’ve known our whole lives — in school, in the family, in church, in status quo social circles. It is a time which recalls the words of Oscar Wilde,“to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream.” Intrigued by this sort of self-education and personal resolve, I thought I’d get comment from Boston University Emeritus Professor Howard Zinn, playwright, author and historian. Zinn has been an educator for more than five decades, and has helped shape entire social movements and whole new areas of critical studies in academia. Notably he has enhanced the idea of the people, or the “commons” as they were referred to 400 or 500 years ago, reclaiming history from the top — from the so-called “important” people — of the presidents, of the military heroes, of the elite bankers and owners of society. He constructed the landmark work, “A People’s History of the United States,” in the sense of the underdog’s perspective, of ordinary heroes and unheard voices that band together to win the eight-hour workday, secure civil rights and end slavery and child labor. Zinn recalled his first regular teaching job, fresh out of graduate school, at Spelman College, an elite all-black college for women in Atlanta, Ga. It was there that he soon found himself enmeshed in one of the most explosive social struggles in modern history, that of the new abolitionist movement targeting second-class citizenship and racial apartheid America. As a teacher, Zinn reflected,“One of the things that was made clear to me is that the most important teaching that what a teacher does is not really inside the classroom but outside the classroom.” He said it was the students who taught him, or at least helped him to realize this fact. He noticed that many of his students were getting involved in the movements that were rippling throughout the South at that time, involving everything from illegal sit-ins at “all white” lunch counters, to calculated bus boycotts, to organizing creative campaigns at desegregating whole swaths of society. He not only encouraged his students to join these struggles, but participated with them in these activities, taking them with him outside the classroom and into the real world, and making a curriculum of addressing society’s most wretched ills, right at their source. “You get a very intense education when you’re involved in a social struggle,” Zinn recounted.“You learn about forces that are out there. You learn about the police. You learn about the politicians. You learn about the law. You learn about the courts. You probably will learn about what it is like to be in jail.” Such kinds of education, Zinn says, are “incomparable” because they afford us the opportunity to apply what we learn to our own lives and to the world around us. UA Associate Professor of Anthropology Linda Green, like Zinn and his students 50 years ago, is such a teacher who, in the classroom, tries to help students use reason, rationality and fact and apply them “… Out into the larger world to both try to understand the world and become actively involved in changing any injustice that they may see.” The pertinent idea here is to never let massive walls of books and theories appear to be the end-all and be-all. To get real life experience is the sort of education that makes one a better human being, and creates a more decent society and culture. — Gabriel Schivone is a junior majoring in art, literature and media studies.

The misinformation of the health care bill

he health care debate has been dominated by hysterical tales of “death panels” which would deem whether or not elderly citizens are worth the cost of medical care and procedures. The fact that this myth picked up momentum from Sarah Palin’s Facebook account should be enough to discredit it. However, the misinformation being propagated is so vile in nature that countless citizens have come to tolerate, if not accept it. The real tragedy is that privately insured citizens have been cast as victims, while millions of uninsured fall by the wayside. In the current economic environment, new graduates in particular will be severely susceptible to health care-related hardships, whether it is a lack of care or astounding debt from medical bills. Page 425 of“America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009,”has been seized by anti-reform activists as the health care Waterloo. This clause outlines a coverage limitation concerning advance care planning. Consultations will be covered by insurance if “the individual involved has not had such a consultation in five years.”If the condition of a patient’s health changes, they can see a doctor more often. Somehow, supposed health care professionals have interpreted this clause to mandate a counseling session once every five years for citizens on social security. Anti-reform critics have characterized these counseling sessions as a form of euthanasia, a reprehensible notion. In actuality, these methods of planning allow elderly and sick patients to outline their preferred medical treatment in times of severe illness, incapacitation or unforeseen tragedies. Beyond preparing for the inevitable, these provisions are aimed at decreasing the suffering of American citizens, not sealing their fate. The term“death panel,”connotes a group

of heartless, calculating bureaucrats, looking for any and all plugs to pull. The“supreme court of euthanasia and abortion”would consist of such authoritarian forces as the state bar association, state medical Daniel association, and departSotelo ment of health. Instead of condemning the sick columnist and elderly, this panel would rate doctors on the accuracy and efficiency in life-saving treatment. Physicians must explain “why the development of such an order is beneficial to the individual and the individual’s family.”Taxpayers should be ecstatic that this bill clamps down on unnecessary or repetitive treatment that already drives health care costs through the roof. As students start to think about life after undergrad, the thought of finding and paying for health insurance usually get lumped in with finding employment. In the current job market, graduates depending on employment for either health insurance or the ability to afford health insurance may have to wait months or even longer. Whether or not graduating students have had the luxury of health insurance while enrolled, the post-graduation party can come to a screeching halt in the event of sudden illness or injury. According to the National Coalition on Health Care, an estimated 46 million Americans are uninsured, with an extra 7 million losing coverage in the next two years. Among those numbers are an estimated 1.7 million traditional college students, or 20 percent, without health insurance. A 2003 report released by the Service Employee International Union found that uninsured patients are charged an average of 50 to 70 percent more by hospital emergency rooms than those with insurance. One out of every five traditional college students remains vulnerable to increased hospital fees. As student and graduate budgets decrease, there is a greatly increased chance that they will forgo seeking medical

treatment, even when necessary, due to skyrocketing costs. Those injured severely enough to necessitate an ER visit will face drastically higher medical bills. Combined with costs of finding a new residence, job and paying off student loans, medical bills for new graduates can lead to economic hardships, including bankruptcy. Gregory Rose, a 23-year-old student in Texas, was without health insurance, but considered himself healthy enough not to need it. Studying for finals, he ignored the increasing pain in his hip. Not long after, the searing pain became unbearable, and he was forced to go to a hospital. Rose was shocked when the blood test results came back positive for leukemia. His best chance at recovery is to undergo a bone marrow transplant, which costs an estimated $300,000. How does Rose reconcile the prospects of recovery combined with lifelong debt? Is foregoing treatment for economic consideration even an option? Sadly, it is. Anti-reform efforts have jumped upon the fears of the uninformed and miseducated. While some voters may lack the ability or resources to seek out the proper information, many more voters have accepted these myths due to intellectual apathy. Any person with access to the internet can see the bill online and examine the logical, patient-centered plan that Congress actually wrote. College students across the country have the ability to shape the future prospects of affordable health insurance for the millions of Americans who live without it by voting. While there are genuine, economic questions that still need to be answered about public health insurance, the focus on shameful misrepresentations threatens the health of future generations. For those already with health insurance, this bill is a public option. For those without health insurance, this bill may be the only option. — Daniel Sotelo is a senior majoring in political science.

Vick’s return in land of second chances A

s soon as you put down this article, you can go online to the National Football League’s online shop, and with a little digging through the menus you can create your very own “Vick” Philadelphia Eagles jersey for your dog. In bad taste? Yeah. Most hilariously and painfully ironic gift of this holiday season? Definitely. But regardless of where you stand on Michael Vick’s reinstatement into the NFL (or use of said reinstatement for awkward merchandising), the issue has raised a number of interesting questions about the rights and privileges allotted to felons who have served their time and lawfully repaid their debt to society. In Vick’s case, it seems his ability to regain what he had lost, monetarily speaking, will be hindered only by his ability to throw passes for the Eagles. Once Vick manages to pay off the debts associated with his filing of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, he will continue to sign contracts for millions of dollars and become as filthy rich as he was before he got arrested for financially backing dog fighting operations. However, this did not go without some resistance.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, in a public statement released Aug. 13th, called out Vick as “(fitting) the established profile for anti-social personality disorder … commonly referred to as ‘psychopaths.’” Remy According to the Los Albillar Angeles Times blog titled “LA Unleashed,” Aug. 14, columnist an interviewed Eagles fan reported crying when finding out that Vick had been signed to the Philadelphia team, complaining that they were now forced to hate the Eagles and without a team to root for. While both Michael Vick being crazy and Philadelphia dog lovers’ new personal moral crisis are among the Top 10 pressing issues that plague American society, I don’t see what any of that has to do with Vick’s eligibility to play professional football. The rights of felons to successfully re-enter society is an issue that has been defended time and time again within the U.S. court system, as a reflection of the romantic and appealing sentiment that America is a “land of second chances.” For example, as of 2007 only two states in the union have not ratified laws concerning

felon disenfranchisement. In other words, 48 states have made it legal for felons to vote once they have served their time, on the basis that someone who has repaid their debt to society should be allowed all the rights and privileges they held before being convicted of breaking the law. There are, obviously, some caveats to these precedents. Sex offenders, most notably, are restricted to where they can live and work in proximity to children and schools, in response to high recidivism rates for those offenders. Obviously, there’s a line somewhere to limit a felon’s ability to resume life as normal pending his release from prison. However, that bright line has historically been drawn in order to prevent that felon from committing that crime again, as well as to protect those who might be in danger from that repeat offender. If you strip away the excessive status and glorification of being a professional sports player, it becomes just another job. And if it’s just another job, then there was no legal justification to bar Vick from getting his job back. The only argument that might fly in that regard is that Vick’s ability to make millions of dollars might support his ability to bankroll more dog fights, but if we’re going to go down

that road, then every other celebrity convicted of a crime is going to have to give up on making movies, albums, publicity appearances and whatever else it is that Paris Hilton does for money. That means Robert Downey Jr. won’t be able to make any more movies, and I’d rather risk Vick funding more dogfights than sacrifice how awesome “Iron Man 2” is going to be. So, does Michael Vick “deserve” to play professional football? That’s a silly question based on decades of making heroes out of people who are more athletically gifted than the average person, and the byproduct vilification of the sports franchise seeking to improve their business model by hiring him. A better question to ask is if Michael Vick deserves to achieve the success and status he once had after legally repaying his debt to society. I say yes, based less on any interest in football or strong belief that Michael Vick is at all a decent human being, and more on a decade or two of being told that I live in a country where people are afforded rewards and second chances through their persistence and efforts. — Remy Albillar is a junior majoring in English.

POLICEBEAT

By Courtney Collen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

It was my roommate, I swear.

The University of Arizona Police Department responded to a call from a resident assistant in Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall, 922 E. Fourth St., referencing the odor of marijuana coming from a third floor male residence on Friday. Upon arrival, the RA stated that he â&#x20AC;&#x153;smelled a very strong odor of burning marijuana coming from (a third floor room)â&#x20AC;? during his duty rounds at approximately 11:40 p.m. Reports say that marijuana was, in fact, present in the room. The resident stated he was not using it but his roommate probably was. The RA made contact with the residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roommate and asked him to return. When the man arrived, he said the marijuana belonged to him and his roommate â&#x20AC;&#x153;had nothing to do with it.â&#x20AC;? The man said he purchased the marijuana, â&#x20AC;&#x153;half of an eighth for $30,â&#x20AC;?from another man sitting on the corner of Sixth Street and Euclid Avenue. No description of the seller was given. The resident was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of narcotics.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be best friends...

The UAPD responded to a report of suspicious activity at the UA Main Library on Friday at approximately 11:40 a.m. after a woman witnessed her cousin being approached and harassed by a man. The woman said the man approached her cousin saying she â&#x20AC;&#x153;was pretty â&#x20AC;Ś had a small waist â&#x20AC;Ś and (he) would like to show her around Tucson.â&#x20AC;?The male also gave the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin a library card that read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be best friends.â&#x20AC;? The woman said her cousin asked the man to leave her alone and he did not. Later that day, the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a member of the Center for English as a Second Language program â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was taking a tour through the library at about 3:30 p.m. when the man approached her for a second time. She became fearful of returning to the library to utilize the facility again. No further information was given.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friday night, why am I at UMC?

UAPD responded to Coronado Residence Hall, 822 E. Fifth St., in response to a male carrying a female, who was passed out, into the dorms. When police arrived at Coronado at approximately 11:30 p.m., they met the RA at the door and were told the female passed out on one of Coronadoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concrete benches. The unidentified male had carried her into the residence hall on his shoulder. The RA told the man he could not bring the female in the dorm like that. The man said a cab dropped the woman off in front of Coronado and the cab driver said someone needed to take her inside. Police tried to wake the woman who was still passed out and non-responsive. Reports say she had a strong odor of alcohol on her breath. Police called the paramedics and she was immediately transported to University Medical Center. On Saturday at approximately 4:30 a.m., police responded to UMC to follow-up on the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition. She was fully alert and conscious to speak to the officer. The officer asked the woman if she knew why she woke up at UMC. She said she did not remember the night before nor did she know why she was at UMC. The last thing she remembered, reports say, is that she was at an apartment with her friends and drank â&#x20AC;&#x153;very little vodka in a glass â&#x20AC;Ś and fruit punch.â&#x20AC;? She was later released and cited for minor with spirituous liquor in the body. She was referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Knock knock, marijuana anyone?

UAPD responded to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall, 910 E. Fifth Street, on Thursday where a man was suspected of going door-todoor selling marijuana. The man they believed to be selling the marijuana was a shirtless male walking away from the residence hall. The man, identified by a California state identification, had been selling marijuana to the residents inside. Officers questioned a male suspected of purchasing the marijuana from the seller. In the lobby of Arizona-Sonora, the man denied purchasing marijuana. When taken outside in private, he admitted to the officer he had purchased a bag and then â&#x20AC;&#x153;stashed itâ&#x20AC;? inside a residence hall restroom in a toilet paper dispenser. The officer detected a fresh odor of marijuana coming from the seller, who attempted to reach into his left pocket before the officer stopped him. After a body search, the officer found some marijuana and a $20 bill. The seller said he was not a resident of Arizona-Sonora, but a resident at Seasons Apartment Complex. The man, a UA student, was arrested, taken to Pima County Jail and later referred to the Dean of Students Office for violating the UA Code of Conduct.

tuition will go up 7 percent every year, you can plan for that. But if you know that one year is going to be flat, the next year is going to be 20 percent, the next year is going to 56 percent, it’s very hard to plan for that. We’re trying to provide some predictability. You used the term “efficiencies.” What do you mean by that? One example is CLAS (Colleges of Letters, Arts and Science). When we combine five administrative offices, there should be efficiencies there. Do we need four or five procurement officers? Do we need four or five head advisers? How can we eliminate some of those costs while not cutting into the things that students really need? Students have to get classes and they have to get advising. Over the last few years in my office, for example, we’ve eliminated permanent positions and we’ve backfilled with student help. That way, students have on-campus jobs, and of course students work really hard for less money. In addition, you may recall from last year that we eliminated some lowdemand degree programs. Over time, those cuts will shift how those departments are staffed. You spend a lot of time speaking with a broad range of people on the UA campus. Are there any issues that you hear about again and again? Right now, there’s just a lot of excitement and a lot of positive feeling. I’m sure you can think back to how excited you were to go to college. My kids couldn’t wait. Combine that with the parents’ enthusiasm, and it’s a very positive time right now. You know, the challenge, frankly, is the state budget

and where we’re going to go — not just for this year. We’re in a period here where we can work on ideas. The core question is whether the state of Arizona — and by that I mean the people of Arizona, not just the legislature — want to support public education. And it’s not free. What we’ve seen over the years is a shift significantly from public support for education to the students and the families supporting education. And there’s an argument for that. It’s a private good, you’re going to earn more money, you’re going to have horizons lifted and you’re going to live a better life if you get that college education, so you should have to pay for it. But of course there’s a societal benefit too, right? When you go to school, in cold hard cash you’re paying more taxes

into society but you’re also less likely to go to prison, you’re less likely to be a drain on society, you’re going to live a healthier life, you’re going to influence your neighborhood, raise your kids and all these things are societal benefits. The fundamental question this country has to deal with is,“Do we have the right balance between public support for education and the private support coming from the students and their families themselves?” It should be an interesting discussion that’ll take place in this state and nationally over the next few years. Do you think that in order to solve the budget crisis we’re going to need to see more support from the public? It’s a question of balance. I think the governor, in terms of the short-term

budget, has it exactly right: we need to make more cuts and we need to raise more money. So then there’s the subtler question of how to raise more money. Do you do it on something that’s regressive, taxes the wealthy? These are very hard questions, and I’m glad I’m not a legislator. I think for the question of education, it isn’t that students and their families won’t have to pay and society can bear the total brunt or the other way around, it’s a question of where we are on that spectrum. Maybe society needs to move more. I mean, this fall tuition and mandatory fees are about $7,000. Now that’s a lot of money if you don’t have it. But on the other hand, you can say that that might be the best $7,000 you ever spent.

surcharge of $766. The regents gave us a formula to calculate how much the surcharge really needs to be, and we calculated that it should be $2,500, believe it or not. They said,“Whoa, we can’t swallow that,” so they backed it off. What we’ll do is use stabilization funds to bridge that gap. So, for fiscal year 2010 we have good plans on one-time money. This gives us time to reorganize and become even more efficient and reduce administrative costs to get through this year. We’ll have a similar amount of one-time money in fiscal year 2011. But then it’s done. So fiscal year 2012 is the fiscal cliff that we’re trying to figure out how to soften. We know we can’t replace all of the state funds that have been cut out. That was $77 million last year, might be another $20 million this year, so you’re getting close to $100 million. You just can’t do that. You can’t raise tuition that much, you can’t go out and get gifts for that much, you can’t go out and get federal dollars for that much. We’re looking at a plan to replace maybe half, or two-thirds, or 60 percent of that money so that we can stabilize our core operating budget. And of course that has to come from tuition, although I know students and families don’t like to hear that, and it has to come from additional efficiencies, and it has to come from attracting more federal dollars and more gift dollars. So it’s a combination. The good news is we have a couple of fiscal years to work that out; the bad news is we only have a couple of years to work that out. What we want to do is avoid any precipitous action. If you know as a student coming in that your

DWSPORTS Onobun playing football for Houston Former UA men’s basketball player Fendi Onobun has one year of NCAA eligibility left. He was cleared Aug. 17 to play for the University of Houston football team as a tight end.

By Lance Madden AriZoNA dAiLY WiLdcAT

Former UA hoops player receives NCAA clearance

Alan Walsh/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

Everything happens for a reason with Fendi Onobun. Lute Olson pulled him from a redshirt his freshman season on the UA men’s basketball team, and instead of spending five years on the roster, Onobun played four active years with the Wildcats. That left his fifth year of NCAA eligibility open to play another sport. Onobun, who graduated from the UA in May with an interdisciplinary studies degree, is using that fifth year as a walk-on for the University of Houston’s football team. Last week, on the day it was announced that Greg Paulus would be Syracuse’s starting quarterback after four years on Duke’s basketball team, Onobun received clearance from the NCAA to play immediately for the Cougars, rather than sitting out a semester. In Onobun’s eyes, it’s a stepping stone to the NFL. “I’ve been told that I have the potential to get there,” Onobun said,“but first I need the experience and the right coaching to make that a possibility.” Now Onobun, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound tight end, wears 81 for a spiritual reason. In the Bible, No. 8 stands for new beginnings and No. 1 signifies an audience of one: God. Onobun knows there must have been some divine intervention to get him where he is today, playing just 30 minutes from where his family lives in Houston, and 30 minutes from Alief Taylor High School, where he was once one of the best basketball recruits in the nation. Before Onobun started school yesterday as a full-time human resources development graduate student, he was spending 11 hours per day, six days a week getting ready for the football season. He’d go strong from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m., learning a sport he hasn’t played since middle school. He’s blocking better than the coaches expected, and he’s catching the ball well, too. Houston uses a four-out wide receiver set, so the ball gets airborne often. There are ONOBUN, page 8

Sports lingo for the average fan Ever watch football on TV and hear announcers and analysts throw out terms that you’ve never heard of before? Football isn’t brain surgery, but it is more complicated than you think. Every Tuesday, we’ll be breaking down common football terms to help you fully understand the game.

Where are all the colored shirts? Redshirt

It doesn’t literally mean that a player wears a red jersey while playing (unless they’re a quarterback in practice). With the recruiting phenomenon of recent years turning it into a season of competition in and of itself, football coaches have more

players at their disposal to fill roster spots. Starting roles are generally occupied by upperclassmen, so unless he is a stud out of high school, a freshman doesn’t have many opportunities to play. Since the NCAA only allows players four years of eligibility, it created a rule that gives players the opportunity to practice and learn the ways of the team without ever participating in a game. A coach can declare a freshman or an injured upper-classmen a “redshirt” player, and as long as that player does not take part in an official snap during a game, he is given an extra year to play. When you hear that a player is a“redshirt senior”that means that he is in his fifth year of college, but only his fourth year of eligibility.

Is there money on the field? Nickel and Dime defense

Thanks to the increase of passing in both the NCAA and the NFL, defenses are forced to play with more secondary personnel on the field at one time than ever before. These traditionally smaller, faster players combat the speed and quickness of their offensive counterparts. A normal defensive set includes a combination of seven linemen and linebackers and four players in the secondary: two cornerbacks and two safeties (normally called a strong safety and a free safety). To compensate for the athleticism and multitude of receivers on offense, defensive coordinators have created packages that feature more defensive backs and fewer linemen/linebackers.

A“nickel” package typically substitutes a linebacker with a fifth defensive back, who then becomes the“nickel back” (no, not the band). A“dime” package is one step beyond the nickel: a sixth defensive back joins the fifth and replaces another linebacker or lineman. This gives defenses more athleticism on the field and increases the chance of defending the pass.

Who are these guys?

Mike, Sam, and Will linebackers Linebackers are probably the most complicated positions on the defensive side of the ball. They have to be able to defend both the run and the pass unlike linemen and defensive

Battle for QB will continue into year By Brian Kimball AriZoNA dAiLY WiLdcAT The Arizona football team has yet to announce a starting quarterback, but that doesn’t bother head coach Mike Stoops. During Monday’s weekly press conference, Stoops said the coaching staff finished evaluating Saturday night’s scrimmage, but he isn’t ready to say who will lead the offense for the Wildcats’ first game of the year when they play Central Michigan on Sept. 5 at Arizona Stadium. In Saturday night’s scrimmage, Stoops said redshirt sophomore Nick Foles played the best he has in his time at the UA. Despite getting more reps with the first-team players in recent weeks, Matt Scott hasn’t yet supplanted himself as the No. 1 option at quarterback. But he might not have to. “We’d be comfortable in saying that it’s very likely that we could see both quarterbacks in (the first game),”Stoops said.“When we decide on a starter we’ll let you know, but we’re still kind of evaluating the process. I guess what that tells you is that no one has separated themselves too far from the other. “Each quarterback does some things better than the other, but ultimately we’re going to go with our feeling of who gives us the best opportunity to move the football and to score points against Central Michigan,” he added. “The ultimate decision is what’s best for our football team.” Stoops said he wants to be fair in picking a starter and the best way to do that would be taking a look at each player in game action to get a better feel for how they will run the UA’s offense. And with both Scott and Foles playing solidly throughout the summer and fall, the position battle might not be over even after a starter is named. “I think if you work hard enough and you earn the right to play then I believe that you deserve an opportunity. It’s no different than any other position,” Stoops said.“I believe that. Kids earn the right to play and there’s things that I’ve seen in both players to earn that right.”

Depth at O-line, linebacker a pleasant surprise

The Wildcats’ offensive line took a hit when Eben Britton decided to forego his senior year and enter the NFL Draft. However, this year’s group aims to make up for his loss in a big way. A 6-foot-5, 320-pound way. That’s where Mike Diaz comes into play. Originally a guard, Diaz is making the switch to the outside of the line to protect the UA quarterbacks’ blind side. His move has allowed other players to make their way into the starting lineup. Stoops said he was pleased with the versatility of Phillip Garcia. The 6-foot-7, 325-pounder has played well at both left guard and left tackle throughout the summer and fall. Junior Conan Amituanai has gotten reps at left guard due to Diaz’s move and sophomore Vaughn Dotsy is progressing well at the right guard spot, Stoops said. The linebacker depth was also a question entering summer workouts, but Stoops said he expects them to be one of the better units on the team despite losing last year’s defensive leader, Ronnie Palmer. Senior Sterling Lewis can play all three linebacker spots, Stoops said, and will likely start on the strong side. Senior Vuna Tuihalamaka is expected to start at middle linebacker and senior Xavier Kelley will start on the weak side. But even if any of those players go down with an injury, Stoops said there are plenty of replacement options. Junior college transfer C.J. Parish and freshmen Jake Fischer, R.J. Young, Cordarius Golston and Trevor Erno could be the linebackers of the future after the three seniors make way, but some have further to go than others. “C.J. Parish still has a ways to go, but Jake (Fisher) and R.J. Young have done a good job,”Stoops said.“Trevor (Erno) and Golston and Fisher are three prototypical linebackers. … I feel like we hit three home runs with those guys. I think they can all be special players,”adding that Erno and Golston are

Each year, student-athletes get an orientation specifically designed for instances like Lewis’ pool party mishap. One segment gaining more and more attention recently: UA athletics now takes a firm approach to curb careless usage of social networks. While the UA can’t legally censor a student’s freedom of speech, it highly recommends student-athletes to keep photos private. “If I do something bizarre at a party that I know is going to be not very good, I might get pictures taken,” UA athletics director Jim Livengood said in an interview with the Daily Wildcat earlier this year.“When I figure out the next day that it can be harmful, it’s too late. That’s the scary thing.” Lewis, a Phoenix native, can echo that same awareness having experienced it first hand. “Back then I was just an unheard of walkon athlete and I really didn’t see myself as any different from any other college student,” Lewis said. “I quickly realized that me being an athlete means something to a lot of people.”

us. But more so for our two young children as this is a very personal matter.” Stoops, entering his sixth season as the head coach for the Wildcats, was noticeably emotional when speaking about separating from his wife, but said he wouldn’t take questions about that situation. “I would just ask that you please what play to run as well as making any last-second alignment changes with the defensive line before the ball is snapped. A “Sam” linebacker is the outside linebacker that lines up on the strong side, that is, the side with the most receivers on offense. A good way to quickly figure out which side is“strong”is to find the tight end. Although it isn’t always the case, you will usually find the “Sam” lined up across from the tight end. A “Will” linebacker is the linebacker who lines up on the weak side, which is the

respect me and our family as we go through a difficult time. You guys know how important my family is to me and Nicole and Colton and Payton,” Stoops said. “It is what it is, and like I said, I’ve been as forthright as I can with (the media) and what’s important to me,” he added. — Arizona Daily Wildcat opposite side of the “Sam.” Typically the“Sam”backer is bigger because the ball is usually run right at him on the strong side, while the “Will” linebacker is a little smaller and more athletic. The “Will” linebacker deals with a running play to his side, which is usually a misdirection or trick play. In terms of defending the pass, he needs to be quicker since his defense responsibilities are much greater (slot receivers or running backs, as opposed to the tight end). – compiled by Tim Kosch

Billionaire attempts to buy Coyotes despite NHL disapproval The Associated Press

•••

PHOENIX — Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie has submitted an amended proposed agreement to buy the bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes for $212.5 million and immediately move them to Hamilton, Ontario, with or without the NHL’s consent. The document filed Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court says Balsillie can walk away from the deal if the contentious issues in the complex case have not been resolved in his favor by Sept. 14. That’s four days after the scheduled auction of the team and one day before the Coyotes are to play their first preseason game.

So far there haven’t been any long-term affects from the incident. He’s still gotten numerous jobs despite being one Google search away from a potential red flag to employers. But his personal record is still clean and Stoops will even write his letter of recommendation for medical school. “It was emotionally and spiritually tough for a very long time, but I feel like such a stronger person for being able to endure something like that. “It’s just the way the world works,”Lewis said. Unfortunately, it still is. — Bryan Roy is a journalism junior. He can be reached at broy@email.arizona.edu.

The persistent Canadian, who heads the company that makes the Blackberry, wants Judge Redfield T. Baum to rule his bid valid even though the NHL board of governors voted 26-0 against his application to become the team’s owner. The NHL says it is impossible to move the team for the coming season. The league wants a new owner who would keep the team in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, where it has lost more than $30 million each of the last three seasons. The NHL contends that with better management and an improved product on the ice, the

Coyotes can be successful. The league is funding the team while the bitter ownership battle goes on. Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of baseball’s Chicago White Sox and the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, heads a group that plans to offer $148 million to buy the team and keep it in Glendale. Another group of Canadian and American investors, under the name Ice Edge, is investigating making a bid that also would keep the team in Glendale. The two groups have been negotiating a new lease agreement with the city of Glendale that would have to be approved by the city council.

plenty of third downs and red-zone situations in which Onobun has been seeing time in practice. “I’ve already caught a few touchdowns during red-zone plays,” he said. On the fifth day of practice, Onobun proved he could take a hit. The coaches put him up against 6-foot-3, 225-pound senior linebacker Matt Nicholson, the hardest hitter on the team. Only Onobun didn’t know that. The Oklahoma drill placed Onobun and Nicholson about a yard away from each other. Onobun’s task was to block Nicholson while a running back behind him took a handoff from the quarterback. “It’s just physical, man-on-man, powerful, quick, two bodies exploding into each other like never before,” Onobun said. “I watched some other people do it, and I thought, ‘That’s cool.’” Then it happened. “I attacked, he attacked, and this dude just rung my bell. He hit me so hard,”Onobun said.“Not just that: he hit me, and he hit the running back, and the running back slipped. That was my welcome hit. “I like getting physical,” Onobun said. “I can’t foul out now.” During his April 11 NFL pro day, Onobun produced great numbers but had a hard time getting teams to commit to him, as Onobun was lacking experience and without an agent. Scouts suggested he walk-on to a college football team and get a year of experience, then try for the NFL again in 2010. Onobun went to Rice University first. Tight end James Casey was taken in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, leaving a spot for Onobun, but the Owls weren’t interested. UA assistant basketball coach James Whitford suggested Onobun try the University of Houston and called the Cougars’tight ends coach, Tony Levine. After about two weeks, Levine hadn’t returned the call. “I thought,‘Man, I’m going to give this football thing up,” Onobun said. “‘I’m wasting my time on this. I’m going to just go with what I love.’” At that point, Onobun resigned himself to playing basketball overseas. Just days before he was going to sign with a basketball agent, Whitford’s phone rang. It was Levine. Onobun called Levine but said it was an unsure situation. He didn’t have a scholarship and wasn’t sure if he was going to be admitted into Houston. “But the more I spoke with the coach, the more I felt comfortable in keeping all faith,” Onobun said.“Everything kind of took care of itself.” Onobun spent about a month taking tests, submitting transcripts and filling out paperwork to transfer. For a waiver to play right away, he sent letters of recommendation to the NCAA that were written by a UA academic advisor, Lisa Napoleon, UA President Robert Shelton and Levine. About two months later, it’s official. Onobun is a collegiate football player. “Shout out to my boys on the UA basketball team,” he said.“But also, go Cougs.”

Gotta love those sorority girl fights!!

Coroner rules Jackson’s death homicide The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s death has been ruled a homicide caused by a mix of drugs meant to treat insomnia, according to a law enforcement official, while his personal doctor told investigators he was actually trying to wean the King of Pop off the powerful anesthetic that did him in. Forensic tests found the anesthetic propofol combined with at least two sedatives to kill Jackson, according to the official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released. Based on those tests, the Los Angeles County Coroner has ruled the death a homicide, the official said. The coroner’s homicide ruling does not necessarily mean a crime was committed. But it makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against Dr. Conrad Murray, the Las Vegas cardiologist who was caring for the pop star when he died June 25 in a rented Los Angeles mansion. Through his lawyer, Murray has said he administered nothing that “should have” killed Jackson. Murray told investigators that Jackson stopped breathing about 10 minutes after he relented and finally gave in to his patient’s demands for propofol around 10:40 a.m., following a nightlong regimen of sedatives that did not work, according to court documents unsealed Monday. A search warrant affidavit unsealed in Houston, where Los Angeles police took materials from one of Murray’s clinics last month as part of their manslaughter investigation, includes a detailed account of what detectives say Murray told them. Manslaughter is homicide without malice or premeditation. The doctor said he’d been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of propofol every night via an intravenous drip, the affidavit said. Murray said he feared Jackson was becoming addicted to the anesthetic, which

is supposed to be used only in hospitals and other advanced medical settings, so he had lowered the dose to 25 milligrams and added the sedatives lorazepam and midazolam. That combination had succeeded in helping Jackson sleep two days prior to his death. So the next day, Murray told detectives, he cut off the propofol — and Jackson fell asleep with just the two sedatives. Then around 1:30 a.m. on June 25, starting with a 10-milligram tablet of Valium, Murray said he tried a series of drugs instead of propofol to make Jackson sleep. The injections included two milligrams of lorazepam around 2 a.m., two milligrams of midazolam around 3 a.m., and repeats of each at 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. respectively. They didn’t work. Murray told detectives that around 10:40 a.m. he gave in to Jackson’s “repeated demands/requests” for propofol, which the singer called his“milk,”according to the affidavit. He administered 25 milligrams of the white-colored liquid — a relatively small dose — and finally, Jackson fell asleep. Murray remained with the sedated Jackson for about 10 minutes, then left for the bathroom, the affidavit said. Less than two minutes later, Murray returned — and found Jackson had stopped breathing. Cell phone records show three separate calls from Murray’s phone for between 11:18 a.m. and 12:05 p.m., the affidavit said. It’s not clear who received the calls. Murray had told authorities he was administering CPR during that time. In a statement posted late Monday on his firm’s Web site, Murray’s attorney Edward Chernoff questioned the timeline as depicted in the affidavit, calling it “police theory.” “Dr. Murray simply never told investigators that he found Michael Jackson at 11 a.m. not breathing,” Chernoff said. He declined to comment on the homicide ruling, saying, “We will be happy to address the coroner’s report when it is officially released.” The coroner’s office has withheld its autopsy

findings, citing a request from police to wait until their investigation is complete. It is no surprise that such a combination of medications could kill someone, said Dr. David Zvara, anesthesia chairman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “All those drugs act in synergy with each other,” Zvara said. Adding propofol on top of the other sedatives could have “tipped the balance” by depressing Jackson’s breathing and ultimately stopping his heart. The 25 milligrams of propofol “is not a whopping amount,” said Lee Cantrell, director of the San Diego division of the California Poison Control System. It was the cocktail of the other sedatives, known as benzodiazepines, that “may have been the trigger that pushed him over the edge,” Cantrell said. Cantrell said it’s perplexing that someone would give various benzodiazepines if one was found not to be effective. “This is horrible polypharmacy,” he said, referring to the interaction between the various drugs. “No one will treat an insomniac like this.” The affidavit, signed by a judge July 20, said that the coroner’s office chief medical examiner told police his review of preliminary toxicology results showed “lethal levels of propofol.” Besides the propofol and two sedatives, the coroner’s toxicology report found other substances in Jackson’s system but they were not believed to have been a factor in the singer’s death, said the official. Murray didn’t tell paramedics or doctors at UCLA hospital where Jackson was rushed about any drugs he administered other than lorazepam and flumazenil, a “rescue drug” to counteract problems from too much lorazepam, according to the affidavit. It was only during a subsequent interview with Los Angeles Police detectives that Murray gave a more full accounting of the events leading up to the 911 call, the document said. A call to the coroner’s office was not re-

turned Monday. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s said no case had been presented so the office had nothing to comment on. The line between safe and dangerous doses of propofol is thin, and according to the drug’s guidelines a trained professional must always stay bedside. Word that Jackson was given the drug to help him sleep startled the medical community, not the least because the setting was his rented mansion. Home use of propofol is virtually unheard of — safe administration requires both a specially trained anesthesiologist and an array of lifesaving equipment. Murray was trained as a heart doctor, not a pain and sedation specialist. At Jackson’s bedside were pill bottles for other drugs prescribed by Murray and two other doctors, the document says. The medicines include a variety of anti-insomnia drugs, a muscle relaxant and a drug for urinary problems from an enlarged prostate. Investigators found about eight bottles of propofol in Jackson’s home along with numerous other medications, according to the affidavit. Murray told investigators he didn’t order or buy any propofol, but investigators served a search warrant Aug. 11 at a Las Vegas pharmacy and uncovered evidence showing Murray legally purchased from the store the propofol he gave Jackson the day he died. When he died, Jackson was skinny but not overly emaciated, and his body had bed sores, the official said. The singer is believed to have developed bed sores in the months following his 2005 acquittal of child molestation charges, when he went into seclusion and spent long stretches in bed. Jackson’s family released a statement Monday, saying it has “full confidence” in the legal process and the efforts of investigators. It concludes: “The family looks forward to the day that justice can be served.”
