Concert losses lead to drastic cuts Nagata The most noticeable and drastic cuts came from the special events budget, which sustained a $93,000 cut - from $108,000 to about $15,000 — at the student leaders’ weekly meeting at the Student Union Memorial Center last night. The Associated Students of the

The UA student government passed part of a yearly budget last night that included thousands of dollars in cuts to pay off the losses from last April’s failed stadium concert.
University of Arizona saved $35,000 when the university took over financial responsibilty for the University Activities Board. The board has been moved outside of the ASUA offices to the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership. Despite the new savings, the student
government will spend the next several years paying off the $900,000 that was lost last spring on the Arizona Stadium concert, sponsored by ASUA, that featured Jay-Z, Kelly Clarkson, Third Eye Blind and The Veronicas. ASUA, page 5
Apple offers appealing aid By Devlin Houser Arizona Daily Wildcat

Scholarship winner and freshman Jada Jones opens her new MacBook and 8 gigabyte ipod that she received as a part of the financial aid allocation on Aug. 26.
For the first time ever at the UA, about 500 incoming freshmen received a non-monetary scholarship this semester: a customized MacBook Pro pre-loaded with software and a few extras to boot. The university is trying out the MacBook Scholars Program as a way to reach students who may be left out using traditional criteria for scholarship eligibility, said Paul Kohn, vice provost for enrollment management and dean of admissions. “There are many students who we want here, but who we, if we use our normal formulaic approach looking at their GPA and their test scores … we’ll end up not making them a scholarship offer,”Kohn said. This group of students is characterized by a discord between their GPAs and their test scores, which could disqualify them for other, more traditional scholarships, he said. This semester, recipients in the program must be Arizona residents, have been accepted to the UA, have written an application essay and be enrolled full-time. Not owning a laptop computer is not a criterion. From this pool, a group of 10-12 reviewers assessed the application essays, looking for students who have overcome unique obstacles on their path to college, Kohn said. Through a partnership with the UofA Bookstore, which already works with Apple, the students have each received a 13-inch MacBook Pro, an HP printer/scanner, and a full rebate for an iPod Touch. The computers are valued at $1,300, and unlike most scholarships, this one is nonrenewable. The funding comes from the same money used for other scholarships, but the iPod Touch and printer were included at no extra cost to the university through the same student disMACBOOKS, page 3
strives toward candor By Marissa Hopkins Arizona Daily Wildcat The last two days, the Daily Wildcat asked President Robert Shelton about his hopes and concerns for the coming year. Today, the Wildcat’s Marissa Hopkins discusses student leadership and the budget with Associated Students of Arizona President and health sciences senior Chris Nagata. Daily Wildcat: What are your goals for the school year? Chris Nagata: My goal for this year is basically to reestablish credibility with the students. The methods to do that are just going to be for us to be very transparent, very open and also to be very available. How are you planning on getting the word out about what you’re doing for students? A lot of times student governments in the past have depended on the students to seek out their elected officials, and I think that’s a backwards method of doing things. In order to truly represent the students and truly encompass and articulate their wants, needs and concerns, student leaders and representatives need to go out and seek out the students. We need to go to their meetings, we need to go to their lunch tables, we need to go to their hang-out spots and really engage the students to figure out what concerns them. What are you already working on for this year? A lot of the summer work, and there will be a formal presentation at Wednesday’s senate meeting, but a lot of the summer work has been about planning and configuring a sustainable budget. We need a budget that won’t just carry us through this year, but will also set us up with some stability for five, six years down the road. We’ve also been partnering up with a lot of community and campus organizations, all with the purpose of enhancing the programs and services that are already institutionalized within ASUA. But we also need to supplement outside funding sources to, again, just make our programs and services more sustainable. Currently what we’re doing … Zona Zoo’s in full swing. We are also in the process of planning our Southwest Student Leadership Conference that’s happening here in October. Family Weekend is in the grind as well. We’re looking forward to having our retreat, just to get everybody on the same page. Furthermore, we’re also going to be planning a forum and it will happen Sept. 13. It’s just an opportunity for NAGATA, page 3
Dehydration a risk in desert By Yael Schusterman Arizona Daily Wildcat Alyssa Weaver’s vision became blurry as she stood cheering on the football stands, and before she could ask for help, she had blacked out from dehydration. “It wasn’t the first time that it happened. I have a tendency to pass out,” said Weaver, a visual communications junior, reflecting on her experience freshman year. She said she tries to drink more than
the reccommended six to eight glasses of water per day and that coming from Colorado, it takes time for her body to re-adjust to the Tucson heat. “It is also easy to forget about drinking water after drinking coffee and caffeine,” Weaver said. Shari Overland, nursing supervisor at Campus Health, said she deals with at least one or two cases of dehydration a day, more of them in the summer and fall than any other time. Part of the problem, she said, is ignorance of dehydration symptoms.
Many people “just aren’t aware of how much they need to keep drinking in order to stay hydrated,” Overland said. Campus Health Services recommends that students drink at least eight glasses of water a day, but said they should really drink more than that. Speech and hearing sciences senior Mallary Owen is from Phoenix, and said although she is used to the Arizona heat, it can still get to her at Rita Lichamer/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Pre-business freshman So being a business guy, obviously you know the economy is kind of in the crapper right now and everybody’s looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. What about yourself? Well, I have a business myself, but I’m looking to maybe start multiple businesses. I don’t know if it’s get-rich-quick because it takes work to get rich. Nothing’s really easy I guess. Would you do anything outrageous for a large sum of money? Um, maybe. Depends what it is. What about letting a celebrity poop on you for a million dollars? (Laughs) Uh, probably not. Really? We’re talking about a million dollars here, man. All you’ve got to do is sit there and let them drop a deuce and then you’re rich. I’ll find a less embarrassing way to get a million dollars. (Laughs)

‘Papa John’ reunited with beloved boyhood Camaro
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — With the help of a $250,000 reward, the founder of the Papa John’s pizza chain has finally reunited with the muscle car he sold years ago to help keep his family’s business afloat. John Schnatter sold the gold-andblack 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 for $2,800 in 1983. The money helped save his father’s tavern in Jeffersonville, Ind., and he used the rest to start what would become a worldwide pizza business. But he still missed his beloved Camaro and spent years searching for it. He created a Web site on the search, held promotional appearances and eventually of-
fered $250,000 to whoever found it. It turns out he didn’t have to leave Kentucky, where the pizza chain is based. The car only changed hands twice from the original buyers, ending up with Jeffery Robinson in Flatwoods, Ky. “When I first saw it I still wanted to look it over to make sure it was the car even though I knew it,” Schnatter said. “That kind of hit me emotionally. I was kind of numb.” The original buyers of Schnatter’s car heard about the search when he appeared in a TV interview before an NFL game this month. An online search led them to the
What about a billion, with a ‘b’? Yeah, you’ll be on YouTube, but afterward your wallet is going to be fat. That is a lot of money. Potentially I’d do that. (Laughs) Probably, yeah.
Then who would you prefer to be pooped on by? (Laughs) Uh, I don’t know. This is a hard question. (Calls to friend) Kyle.
But really it doesn’t matter because you’re just going to wash it all off afterward anyway. Yeah, I guess then somebody who’s just really hot. But you don’t have a preferred pooper? No. I’d rather not be pooped on. I’d rather not think about that.

BOSTON — A lawyer for “Survivor”winner Richard Hatch is threatening to go to court if her client is not released soon from a Massachusetts county jail. Hatch had been serving the remainder of a prison term for tax evasion on home confinement. He was jailed Aug. 18 afRichard Hatch ter granting two TV interviews for which the federal Bureau of Prisons says he didn’t have proper permission. Hatch remained behind bars at the Barnstable County jail in Bourne after a hearing Wednesday with sheriff’s deputies, said his Los Angeles-based lawyer, Cynthia Ribas. She said the information gathered at the hearing will be passed on to federal prisons authorities, who will then decide whether Hatch will be moved back to a prison, to a halfway house or returned to home confinement. “It’s awful. It’s been eight days. He’s tormented. It makes no sense,” Ribas said. “We’ll file something in a real court of law if they don’t get him out of there.” Hatch was not allowed to have a lawyer present at Wednesday’s hearing with two sheriff’s deputies, Ribas said. She and the Rhode Island chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union submitted witness statements. “It is appalling that he would actually be sent to jail for engaging in quintessential free speech activity,” the ACLU said in a statement. Hatch was convicted in 2006 of failing to pay taxes on the $1 million prize he got for winning the first season of the CBS reality show. He was given extra prison time for lying on the stand. He has maintained his innocence. — The Associated Press

students to come in and participate in a dialogue about what they want to see out of their student government, how they can personally affect change and how we operate. So those are kind of the main things we’re working on. What does your budget look like for this year? We have inherited a huge loan from the bookstore, part of which went to pay off the (Jay-Z) concert from last year and part of which was an outstanding obligation. So that will definitely comprise a smaller portion of the overall pie, because the pie has definitely shrunk, so to speak. But through partnering up with community organizations,

through donations and sponsorships, and through the student fee, we definitely were able to beef up some of the areas, like the (appropriations) board. This year they will be able to give out nearly $150,000 to clubs and organizations, where as last year we only had $100,000. So, there are definitely some strong points in our budget and there are definitely some areas that we had to consolidate, some areas that we had to scale back on. What areas were scaled back? Special events. This year’s not a presidential election year, so a lot of the money that was allocated to that item isn’t necessary this year because we’re not running a huge
voter registration drive, we’re not running huge voter mobilization efforts. I think obviously we’re approaching concerts with a much different strategy and we won’t be taking concerts on by ourselves anymore. That will be definitely a partnered approach. So there’s no need to have an exorbitant amount of money for special events like there has been in the past. Are you still planning on doing a concert this year? Provided the right venue, the right performer, the right price and the right time, provided those stars all align, absolutely. I think that it’s definitely a focal point of the campus and I think it’s definitely one
of those unique experiences that students get to participate in as a Wildcat. We wouldn’t want to take that away from the students, but also we wouldn’t want students to think we were representing them in an irresponsible way by having outrageous figures of loss when we go and plan a concert. Do you think you have a big enough influence on campus to be able to do the stuff you want to do this year? Absolutely. I definitely think we are in position to make substantial contributions to the daily student life and that’s what we’re energized about. That’s what we’re really passionate about doing.

The computers have been customized with a red apple logo on the reverse side of the screen, and the university’s trademark“A”in the corner of the same side.

the Honors College and for scholarships, she said. Later, selected students received a separate letter informing them they were to receive the laptops. “We generated a lot of buzz … Lots of people, especially people in the rural areas were excited to receive (the MacBook),” she said. Jada Jones, a pre-physiology freshman, said she was thrilled to receive the notebook computer, and that she would have been without a computer if it weren’t for the program.
“I learned that I couldn’t really get any grants or scholarships because my mom works here (at the UA),” she said. “This is the one scholarship I got and I’m very, very happy about it.” Two of Jones’ friends also received the MacBooks, she said. “We had our own MacBook handshake. It was so cool,”she said, chuckling. Jones said that receiving a MacBook instead of money was more useful to her in the long-term, and that she was proud to show it off to her friends.
Kohn said he had been checking eBay on a daily basis to make sure students weren’t selling their scholarships on the Website. Kohn and Urquidez were encouraged by the program’s success, and are looking to expand it, possibly to non-Arizona residents and transfer students, but it would remain a program aimed at newcomers to the UA, they said. “We know that it was an effective piece,” Urquidez said.“We haven’t decided yet exactly how large it will go. We’ll probably be able to know that in the next month or so.”

How to: Know whether you should drop a class with only a week to decide James Carpenter and Samantha Luvisi
The first week of class usually flies by, a sad extension of summer days. Given the newly instated drop fee (which we have to pay if we drop a class after the first week), we’re not really given time to witness any substantial indications in order to make our drop decisions, and our minds are often elsewhere. What follows is a short list, in no way exhaustive, to help those lingering in indecision:
1
There are two basic kinds of icebreakers — introductory stuff, and painful, self-compromising games we thought we’d left in high school. If you play these games, and all indicators point to a positive class community, it might still be worthwhile to stay. If the professor sits there, watches and offers very little in the way of compromising his or her own dignity, maybe run for the hills. If the teacher joins in and makes an idiot of herself, consider sticking around.
2
Actually read the syllabus. The exquisite hell of listening to a professorial syllabus recitation is something endured by all, but few pay much attention, instead referencing it only if the assignments are listed on it or as their grade drops and they need to figure out where they’ve gone wrong. However, a lot can be said in the lost white space usually ignored. For example, syllabi that are written stylistically, with lots of personality in the writing or quirky little inside jokes using the subject matter as a punch line, imply some form of creativity and originality with regard to class content. In fact, this kind of thing can even mean that the professor wrote the syllabus for this class specifically, and didn’t just print off a stock syllabus in which the final revision was completed in August 1969.
3 4
If the professor makes even an attempt at humor, it’s something to be embraced, cherished dearly and not snickered at, ever. Those of you taking the massively populated general education courses should flock to any professor who references even outdated comic material. Go in and talk with professors. There is so much that can be said about how the class will be or what kind of grade you’ll get in a one-on-one conversation with the professor. Shifting eyes or fake smiles say as much as a firm handshake and concentrated eye contact.
In the same breath though, a lot of people don’t have much choice in the classes they take, and those of you in big prerequisite courses aren’t going to have the flexibility to add and drop on a whim. Still, in those instances where flexibility is allowed, be aware of the professor’s level of commitment. Furthermore, consider this the final, best and obvious indicator of a good or bad course: when you have a professor you like listening to, but can’t actually articulate why in any quantifiable, slightly cynical, editorial way.
Change? Yes we can!
S
o how does it feel to have a celebrity for a President? Obama certainly is one, and his charisma definitely doesn’t hurt, but it’s the media that creates a celebrity, and they’ve done a tremendous job. Obama, occasionally with members of his family, has graced more than just the covers of Time and Newsweek, but also People, Us Weekly, Life & Style, OK!, the Star, The Atlantic, Vibe, GQ, Ebony, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Wired, Men’s Vogue and Rolling Stone. Jeez, even Reagan wasn’t as big a star and he was a star; an actor for most his life. I understand that Obama and the beginning of his term are inarguably news, but I’m curious how things might have turned out were he not so popular; don’t cry, it’s all hypothetical. To do that, you have to realize when his celebrity started. It was his famous speech, now achieving somewhat legendary status, at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. After that speech it was clear what a rising star he was, but what if he had not gotten that initial exposure? What if Obama had run as an Independent or what if Hilary had? Surely, those evil Republicans would have their man in office! Many of his views are attractive to independent voters, especially the desire he expressed to change the status quo. Sure, Obama’s ideas could translate well into other parties. However, without the support from a major political party, could Obama have ever risen to the top? The likely answer is no. These days, candidates need to be groomed from the local level up, and ultimately approved by the party. We’ve let the Republican and Democratic parties convince us that they’re not only necessary, but representative of all Americans. We’ve allowed these two groups of people, already in power, to limit our choices for
president to the people they deem worthy. It’s true that primaries give people a voice, but even then New Hampshire and Iowa hold the first and most powerful opinions, and everyone else just seems to follow. Could someone like George Washington or
Chris Ward columnist
Abraham Lincoln be elected in today’s system? I doubt they could even get a nomination. Washington, as a matter of principle, was not a member of any political party. In fact, he wisely was opposed to the creation of political parties because of a fear that the conflicts between them would cause stagnation and that they would serve only to pit different groups of citizens against each other. If only he, one of our country’s greatest leaders, could see us today, he would observe with a heavy heart how right he was. The red states and the blue states are representative of this problem — a problem and a rivalry that is difficult for me to understand. I’m a registered Independent, as are another unfortunate 898,000 voters in Arizona; we are unfortunate because in Arizona, as in 17 other states, independent voters cannot vote in primary elections or caucuses. Verily, nearly 40 percent of Americans identify themselves as Independents, and that number is even greater among college students, a demographic that could carry a candidate to victory. Not that I believe that 40 percent of Americans don’t favor one party over the other when it comes down to voting. A large number of Independents, I would venture, do hold loyalty
to one party more than the other, just as I imagine there are some registered Republicans and Democrats who have no qualms about voting for the opposing party’s candidate. Some of these people registered for one party or the other simply for the benefit of being able to vote in the primary elections. Even I align myself with the Libertarian Party on most issues, one of the four recognized political parties in Arizona along with the Republicans, Democrats and Greens. The fact is that the two main political parties and their beliefs don’t suit most people 100 percent. I was salivating at the Afghanistan election and the 40 plus candidates they had to choose from! Should qualified candidates from other parties have an equal opportunity to be president? Sure. Does the Electoral College make any sense in the 21st century? Not really. Does America need campaign reform in one way or another?Yes. Can we change the system for the better? Absolutely. This is not a theocracy. These people don’t have divine guidance. We need to get away from the plutocracy, the rule of the wealthy, and embrace our democracy by learning about candidates and their policies and by always voting. Eventually, if we continually replace terrible politicians with better leaders (or at least not-so-terrible politicians), then eventually our government will get the message: Change!You cannot change the problems of this country without changing the political system and you can’t change the political system without changing the rules. The sad truth, however, is that to change the rules you’ll have to drag the current hierarchy, including the politicians elected to represent you, kicking and screaming. — Chris Ward is an English major.

Double-bound but running fast James Carpenter columnist
T
alking about whether or not Caster Semenya, the world champion South African runner whose gender is currently under speculation, is a woman is uncomfortable and awkward. Most people I’ve talked to haven’t read a lot of articles about her but have definitely seen the photos plastered all over the Web and in the news. In fact, that’s pretty much the first and last thing that comes up in conversations about Semenya. Since the photos we’re all seeing seem engineered to be masculine and unflattering, a lot of us have been forced to confront our own little, no longer subconscious, slightly sexist observations. The most common manifestation is, “I know, it sucks for her, but have you seen those pictures, she totally looks like a man … oh … ” Maybe slight coloring follows, and determined silence. That’s not to say that it isn’t a good thing to talk about this stuff, but for us, the real question isn’t whether or not she’s a woman, but rather why we’re all so weirded out by whether she’s a woman or not. The most obvious answer is because she kicked the unholy scheisse out of everyone in Berlin, running-wise. It’s pretty obvious that had she gotten crushed and left in shame, no one would have thought twice about her sex. Fortunately for me, Jessica McGary, a Ph.D.
candidate in the sociology department, took the time to enlighten me on what, on a very general scale, feminist philosophers have to say about the issues at play here. She said that, basically, Semenya’s position exemplifies an oft-seen trend in what may be most vigorously called sexual oppression. This trend is essentially a “double bind,” and was proposed by feminist theorist and philosopher Marilyn Frye. As summarized by McGary, Semenya’s position is a “double bind” insofar as “in the experience of an individual within an oppressed group, that same individual loses even if she wins.” If she wins, she’s not fitting into the mold of what her sex should be. If she loses she is part of a sex that is perpetually considered to be lesser, especially in sports, than the other. When I asked McGary why educated college-culture assimilates like myself are so uncomfortable with uncertain gender, she cited feminist writer Judith Butler, saying that, “When you walk around, you don’t actually see the primary sex characteristics. You don’t see X and Y-chromosomes, or Y and Y-chromosomes, etc. Gender characteristics as we understand them are a performance.” She added that, “It’s the idea that if you don’t look the part, you must not be doing gender right.” For Semenya, this is ultimately about not looking the part. The parameters for this part were laid out succinctly at a concert I attended at the Rialto. This concert was headlined by a Tucson band who sang poppy ballads and up-tempo sing-alongs about girls, boys loving girls, girls being said boys’ worlds, and hearts

being torn apart when said girls were no longer said worlds, etc. One of the singers actually said, “I don’t know, I guess she was speaking girl language and I was speaking boy language.”“Boy language” and “girl language” were partly distinguishable by lyrical references to guys in tennis shoes and girls in tutus. For us, these kinds of distinctions are so common as to be a comfortable truth, when in actuality they, like the ways people act out a certain sexuality, are about performance art. When we get back to sports it gets tricky too, because the genders are distinguished purposefully to ensure balanced competition based on physical differences in gender. The trouble is, this means that there’s some set of standards for what each gender is capable of at a certain event, like running. So on the one hand, what’s being said here is that Caster did better at an event than a woman should
be able to do — which is depressing. On the other hand, this could be about how she doesn’t look quite as pretty on the block next to Janeth Busienei and Jennifer Meadows, in which case her detractors ought to take a good look in the mirror to make sure no one gets confused about their own gender. — James Carpenter is a senior in English and linguistics.

ASUA
continued from page 1
Discord mars budget negotiations
ASUA had spent more than $1.5 million on the concert, and brought in just $317,000 in merchandise and ticket sales. With its remaining funds frozen by the university, ASUA used its $308,000 in emergency funds to help offset some of the losses. In order to prevent the student government from being crippled by the remaining losses, ASUA has taken out two loans from the UA Bookstore — a five-year loan of $20,000 per year, and a six-year loan of $150,000 per year. Because of the 80 percent funding cut, the special events section will take new approaches to bringing events such as concerts to the student body this year. They plan on entering into partnerships and sponsorships with non-university entities to pay for events, rather than attempting to pay completely out-of-pocket, said Clifton Harris, ASUA treasurer. “We just don’t have the room to take on
that risk this year,” he said. “Hundreds of hours were spent … forming this budget.”
Executive budgets split Senate
While the ASUA Senate passed the majority of the 2009-10 budget, expense amounts tied to the executive operations budgets caused significant dispute among the senators. The executive operations budget, which was $9,000 per executive last year, was cut to $7,000 per executive in this year’s proposed budget. The president, executive vice president and administrative vice president have typically used the funds to pay for unforeseen expenses, such as last year’s budget protest at the State Capitol. Sen. David Wallace said that having one individual in charge of $7,000 was fiscally irresponsible, especially since the money would be spent at each executive’s individual discretion. “I want to go back and see what mon-

ey was spent on what, to see what you guys actually need,” he told his fellow senators.“Just throwing money around is not fiscally responsible. You could spend it on anything, theoretically.” The Senate chose to table the executive operations budget amounts for next week’s meeting by a vote of 9-1. Sen. Stephen Wallace was the lone dissenter. “I love you guys, but I want you guys to know I do not agree with the decision made today,” he said. Stephen Wallace also attempted to discredit David Wallace’s concerns by stating that since the treasurer was an Eller College of Management student, he knew more about financial situations than David Wallace, a biology major. “You do not have the experience he has,”Stephen Wallace told David Wallace. Sen. Tyler Quillin stepped in to suggest that tabling the executive operations budget would be beneficial to all parties, as it would give everyone a week to reflect and contemplate which course of direction would be best for the budget, Quillin said. “I see no harm in giving them another look,” he said.“I only see benefits.” ASUA President Chris Nagata was open to the suggestion, barring any unexpected situations over the next week that would need the executive operations expenses. He did warn the Senate that they could be doing more harm than good if the executive operations budgets were adjusted. “In the end, entities will suffer,” Nagata said.

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to La Paz residence hall, 602 N. Highland Ave., on Aug. 20 in reference to an odor of marijuana in one of the rooms. The resident assistant who made the call escorted the officer to the room where the odor was coming from. Another RA saw the residents inside the room leave prior to the officers’ arrival. Officers searched the surrounding area and found them at the corner of Fourth Street and Highland Avenue soon after. The officer explained to the residents that UAPD was informed of a strong odor coming from their room. One of the residents said the officer probably smelled marijuana because they had smoked some “off-campus” earlier in the day. The other resident told his roommate to just “give up the marijuana” so they wouldn’t get into any more trouble. The roommate agreed and handed the officer a glass marijuana pipe from inside a Pringles canister and approximately 10 grams of marijuana located inside a book safe. The two residents were diverted to the Dean of Students Office.

A woman was arrested for possession of prescription drugs, paraphernalia and failure to comply Aug. 22. UAPD responded to 1510 E. University Blvd. There, officers found two subjects sitting on the southeast lawn near the UA Main Library. A male and female were identified. The male reported that the female was in an argument with another woman about an impounded vehicle that the female’s boyfriend was driving. The second woman wanted to collect money for the impoundment fees, and an argument arose between the two women. The second woman had fled the scene by the time UAPD arrived. A check revealed that the first woman had an outstanding warrant from the Pima County Sherriff’s Department. She was placed under arrest, searched and placed into a patrol vehicle. When the woman’s purse was searched, officers found a plastic box containing a chrome vial with residue and two small cotton balls. Additionally, an orange plastic prescription bottle containing six generic Vicodin and seven Diazepan pills was also found. The woman did not have a prescription for the medications. The woman was transported to Pima County Jail.
Coronado resident caught with marijuana
A UAPD officer responded to Coronado Residence Hall, 822 E. Fifth St., in reference to marijuana odor coming from a third-floor residence at 1:50 a.m. Aug. 22. Upon arrival, an RA escorted the officer to the room where the marijuana odor had come from. The officer knocked loudly for approximately 10 minutes to make contact with the residents inside. There was no answer. Two officers returned at 2:15 a.m. when the residents returned to their dorm. The two men were asked to sit in the hall while an additional officer searched their room. The officer spoke to the men individually, both stating they had no knowledge of marijuana inside their residence. One of the men “swore on his life, his family’s lives, his unborn children’s lives, and to God”that there was no marijuana inside the room. While both officers continued to search the room, one of the officers found 2.1 grams of marijuana inside a pretzel container and 0.9 grams under one of the residents’ shoe. Both men were cited and released for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The Dean of Students Office was notified.

Self-healing system could save rovers
7
By Rikki Mitchell ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT When a computer breaks down, human hands have to intervene and fix the problem. When that computer is on Mars, it can be a little more difficult to send help. UA researchers, along with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, have designed a self-healing computer system that could be installed in rovers or satellites so that the machines could reconfigure themselves without help from ground control. Ali Akoglu, an assistant professor in electrical and computer engineering as well as a BIO5 member, started this project in his third semester at the UA. He said that although the technology is developed, it has yet to be implemented. “So you send the Mars rovers, and then what if something happens to the hardware and it fails so the millions of dollars you invested on this device and it’s not functional anymore, what do you do?” said Akoglu. “For that purpose we asked the question ‘what if the hardware is capable of healing itself?’” The Self-Configurable Architecture for Reusable Space Systems, or SCARS, began as a class project with Akoglu and his students. “I always wanted to try some high-risk, high pay-off class project,” he said. Akoglu pitched the idea to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which, according to Akoglu, was interested right away. The project is being funded entirely by NASA. Greg Striemer, a second-year graduate student in electrical and computer engineering, has been working on this project for the last eight months. “If you send a machine out in space now it basically does

what it’s originally made to do,” he said. “With this project, the hardware that’s being created can be updated and optimized once it’s out in space, as well as heal itself.” Striemer said he thinks this project is very exciting and would like to see it used in space. “It would be really be cool to see this technology on a rover sent to Mars,” he said. “It would be incredible.” The rovers with these systems would be able to reconfigure themselves if a fault were to occur, said Akoglu. If their attempts at healing fail, then another rover in the network could take over the task of the failed one. Adarsha Sreeramareddy, a second-year graduate student in electrical and computer engineering who has been working on the project since its start in 2007, said that each rover makes only one attempt to revive a faulty system. Once the first attempt fails, then another rover can adopt the dead rover’s task. “Assume that we have two rovers. The first one is doing some soil sampling, while the
other is doing some temperature measurement. What if the one with the soil sampling fails?” said Akoglu. “Then the other guy that’s alive can take over that functionality along with its original functionality so that the rover remains.” Akoglu added that if a fault were to happen in the one of the rovers, ground control would be notified, but because the ‘healing’ is automated, no additional assistance from people on the ground would be necessary. This type of technology could save millions of dollars in repairs and developments, Akoglu said. “Typically when you send something to space you have a replica of the same system (on standby) and this technology eliminates that, you just send one device that can reconfigure itself,” he said. He also said that this technology could be used in satellites or in military applications such as field robots. “The ideal thing is to see this employed in an actual rover,” he said. “That would be the dream.”

Landlocked Surfers fight geographical, cultural stereotypes in Tucson

By Tyler Kurbat ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Tucson is home to a wild variety of people, but few compare to Tucson’s core group of surfers. Sure, there are many beach-bum look-a-likes who tour Fourth Avenue, but for seniors Josh Saunders and Sean Bollinger, the surf lifestyle is alive and well in the desert. Bollinger and Saunders are co-presidents of the Arizona Surf Club at the UA, and although the club loves to hit the waves when it can, Bollinger and Saunders try to embrace the surf culture in the classroom as well. “Sean and I live together kind of in our own surf club headquarters,” Saunders said. “It’s just a little ocean hut in the middle of Tucson. We just try to keep that surf vibe strong.” For these two, as well as the other 25 or so members of the Arizona Surf Club, a common passion for the waves and the freedoms of surfing is what
Catching up with Delashaun Dean Q& A
Editor’s Note: Junior wide receiver Delashaun Dean has been sidelined from practicing in full for weeks with a hamstring injury. On Tuesday, the 6-foot-4, 202-pound California native took part in individual workouts but still isn’t back to full speed. He is one of the Wildcats’ top options when it comes to the passing game. The Arizona Daily Wildcat’s Brian Kimball caught up with Dean to discuss the status of his injury, his take on the battle for the starting quarterback job and when he hopes to return to fully participating with the team. How are you feeling? I’m definitely feeling good and I’ll definitely be ready in two weeks. (The coaches) just want to slowly implement me back into the offense and get my legs back, but I’ll definitely be ready. How did you tweak your hamstring in the first place? It happened in the summertime during summer workouts. We were running routes with the wave vest on and I tweaked it once and I kept running and then I tweaked it again and then it was just downhill from there. How frustrating is it not being able to play right now? It’s very frustrating. Not just for me but for my teammates. It’s just frustrating not being out there with them and pushing them through camp and stuff like that, but I’ve just got to be there for them mentally and physically and do whatever I can to help out. What’s the worst part about watching practice all the time recently? Just not being out there with your teammates. That’s who you go to battle with everyday, so with them going to battle without DEAN, page 10
keeps them going on a day-to-day basis. Keeping the surf alive in 110 degree desert heat takes a bit of creativity. Whether the club is trekking into California or their car is breaking down while crossing the border, these extremists are always down for an adventure. “We don’t have the convenience of the ocean in our front yard, so we have to travel,”Bollinger said. “We treat all of our trips a lot like little missions when we go.” Unlike the Arizona Snowboard Club — which stays in hotels and plans dinners during its excursions — Bollinger and Saunders said that their club hoofs it. For them, a lot of the surf culture is found in the adventure, but also in fighting the surfer stereotypes. “Because we’re a surf club, we get stuck with the stereotype of drug-smoking, boozing hippies that are good for nothing,” Saunders said. “We kind of SURFING, page 10

Who should be the UA football team’s starting quarterback? Scott: Legs bring new dimension
At some point in this competition, the deciding factor will not be who is more talented, but who has more control of the team. Both quarterbacks are Division I players so they should have the skills to win games. To do so, it needs to be a team effort — no position requires leadership more than the quarterback. That is why Matt Scott should start under center against Central Michigan on Sept. 5. Based on the way Scott carries himself at practice, he has a certain aura that screams “starting QB.” Players seem to gravitate to him and he looks
to have more command of the offense than redshirt sophomore Nick Foles. No, Scott does not have the arm that Foles does, but he does have some pretty fly wheels. He has shown the ability to improvise in the pocket and extend broken plays as long as possible. With Scott in the lineup, Arizona has the ability to turn its spread offense into a spread-option offense — something that if done correctly can give opposing defensive coordinators headaches. Plus, the majority of throws in Sonny Dykes’ system are less than 10 yards, so a “cannon” arm isn’t a necessity. The reality of the 2009 season is the team has a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, but it is vulnerable. Despite the program’s first bowl victory in a decade last year, the Wildcats have not received the respect they thought they’d earned by defeating Brigham Young University in December — just look at their No. 8 preseason ranking in the Pacific 10 Conference. Even some of the talent they do have, like strong safety Robert Golden and wide receiver William “Bug”Wright, is young, raw talent that at this point has the dreaded ‘p’ word: potential. Arizona doesn’t need a quarterback who can light up the stat sheets with 350 yards and five touchdowns every game. It needs a leader, a guy who can step up with the game on the line, take the team under his wing, get the ball to his playmakers and make a play on his own if he has to. Right now, that guy is Matt Scott. — Tim Kosch
Foles: More of a sure
thing
While it might be Matt Scott’s “turn”to take over the Wildcat offense after sitting behind Willie Tuitama last season, Nick Foles would be a better fit for the starting quarterback job. Foles, a Michigan State transfer, has a cannon for an arm and is more consistently accurate than Scott. That’s important in Sonny Dykes’ offense, one that uses lots of short passes to keep defenses guessing. If a signal caller isn’t accurate on short routes, opposing defenses won’t respect the deep threat, will clog the line of scrimmage and force the team out of its comfort zone. Scott has the potential to be an elite playmaker in the Pac-10, but it’s just that: potential. Foles is less of a workin-progress than Scott. The fact that Scott can make more plays with his legs shouldn’t determine whether he gets the starting job instead of Foles. His athleticism is underrated, partly because of Scott’s explosiveness. But a quarterback’s main job is passing the football. After all, Tuitama wasn’t exactly Flash Gordon, but his consistent accuracy — especially on shorter passes — kept defenses honest. Another factor in Foles’ favor is his confidence. Last year he was the scout team quarterback, meaning he mimicked the upcoming opponent’s quarterback to help prepare the Wildcats for their next game. It’s no easy task to switch up styles on a weekly basis. During spring camp UA head coach Mike Stoops said he was impressed with Foles’ ability to adapt so well to so many different situations. The fact that he’s spent the months since then focusing on just one offensive scheme can only help him. Even with Scott
getting the majority of the reps with the first-team offense throughout fall camp, Foles’ confidence hasn’t been shaken. He does what he’s asked to do and gives it his best shot, day in and day out. During Saturday’s scrimmage, despite playing primarily with secondand third-team players, Foles had the more productive outing — 11-of-16 for 104 yards — and produced the only two scores of the night. If Foles can impress the coaches and he’s not even getting the majority of the first-team reps, imagine the possibilities if he was the go-to guy. — Brian Kimball

Volleyball hopes tough schedule leads to success By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Playing stronger opponents in pre-conference games can benefit a team looking to increase its post-season appeal, especially when it is looking to get to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005. Compared to the 2008 schedule, the Wildcats’ pre-conference season includes six tournament teams — Belmont, Louisville, Utah, Tulane and Santa Clara — making for a more difficult beginning to the year. “It looks good for you as a team,” junior setter Paige Weber said of playing against tough competition.“I think it’s kind of a double-edge sword. When we win, it’s going to look good for us, and it’s going to prepare us for later on as the teams get harder when we enter our conference play.” The strength of schedule change stems from the disappointment Arizona faced after last
season’s seventh place Pacific 10 Conference finish — a spot dreaded since last season. In 2008, the NCAA tournament selected six teams from the Pac-10, leaving Arizona the odd team out despite being eligible. This season, the Wildcats are looking to compete in a conference that again ranks among the elite in NCAA volleyball. “Every weekend in the Pac-10, we play a tournament team,” Weber said. “So with playing more tournament teams, it looks good when you play against tournament teams and beat tournament teams.” Head coach Dave Rubio decided to beef up the schedule in order to prepare for the arduous trek through the Pac-10 season. With a team of mostly veteran players, the Wildcats are up for the challenge. “We’re returning just about everybody that VOLLEYBALL, page 10

SURFING continued from page 8
Surfing means ‘taming the waves, taking control of them’
have to fight that everywhere we go. Like when we go to campgrounds we get mad-dogged by all the guards and stuff. Anybody with authority thinks we’re up to no good, which sometimes might be true, but we’re just out there to have a good time.” “These trips are just to give us a break from our education,” he added. “We’re not going for drugs, like a lot of people assume. We really try to fight that image on the trips. We’re not squares, but we’re not all stoners, so that’s nice.” Bollinger and Saunders like to think that surfing is about the times

with friends and their travels to the next big swells. For a group of surfers to unite in a place like Arizona, a sense of family and community makes missing the waves that much easier to handle. “All the chilling out, cooking and good vibes definitely transfer back to Tucson,” Saunders said. “We’ve got a core group here, and we just chill out and watch surf DVDs and get as much of our ocean fix as we can.” Surfing for them is true therapy. “For me, it’s got a lot to do with like … this sounds totally hippie … like
harnessing the natural power of the Earth,” Saunders said. “It’s just an ocean thing I guess. When you’re surfing, you’re taming the waves, taking control of them.” Bollinger agreed. “With my major (architecture) it’s also a one-on-one thing, with a project and a deadline,” Bollinger said.“Surfing is very meditative like that too.” As with the nature of the waves they long for, no two trips are alike for this unusual club. Bollinger explained that Mexico trips normally engender the most fun. “One kid flipped a Jeep and we had
to pay a Mexican mechanic a bunch of pesos to rig a wooden tow to get him back to America,” Bollinger said. Other times, it’s the sheer spontaneity that feeds their adventure. “It had a lot to do with tequila,” Saunders said, “but we bonded with these three Mexican fishermen one night, and it was like us 10 gringos with fisherman in the middle of the Pacific at one in the morning.” In their minds, there is only one other passion these two say can remotely compare to their love of surfing. “When we’re here we have to de-
Preparing for the Pac-10 season
had significant playing time last year,” Rubio said. “We’re experienced and we’ve got some depth, and I think we’re pretty talented.” For Rubio, the hope is that challenging the Wildcats earlier in the year means fewer mistakes down the road. By the end of the season, the Wildcats will
face 10 teams that made it to the 2008 postseason, including seven of the top 16 seeds from last season’s tournament. After conference play begins, the calendar does not get any easier for Arizona. In the Pac-10 — which has six teams ranked in preseason topping out at No. 4 Washington — the more preparation
Arizona has, the better. “We need to get ready for the conference,” he said. “We decided to step it up this year in the preseason.” Only time will tell if Rubio’s move to increase difficulty in pre-conference games will prove helpful for the Wildcats or hurt their win-loss ratio.
fend the surfer as a whole, but in Cali, we gotta defend Arizona. We have to represent in the water,” Saunders said. “We’re kind of dorks about Arizona when we go to California. We rep the state hard.” Coming from Tucson, any surf is good surf for these guys, and it’s what will continue to feed their hunger. “Surfing is just a release. It’s what I daydream about in class, and then wake up to find that I’m in the middle of the Tucson desert,” Saunders said. “These trips are just what keep us sane.”
Online Comment Reply to: Bryan Roy’s column “Penalized for perception” published Aug. 25. So because Josh makes a statement that (as you yourself stated) IMPLIES consent, then it’s not assault? Are you for real? You must be one of those guys that doesn’t comprehend that NO means NO. Maybe if his girlfriend actually spoke with the reporter or came forward, however I haven’t seen her come to his defense in any way, shape or form. Victims of sexual assault usually don’t stand up for themselves or report the incident for fear of repercussions or a variety of other reasons that I’ll never know or understand. -Reggie

Wide receiver aching to get on the field
continued from page 8
(you), it kind of sucks. I’ve got stuff that I want to get better at and work on personally, but it’s been stalled right now. It’s a minor setback but I’ll bounce back pretty good. Percentage-wise, where would you rate your overall health? I’d say at about 85 or 90 percent. As far as running, I just started cutting a little bit. Mainly, I’m just trying to get the soreness out when I start running at top speed. We’re just working on that right now. Is it a bit of a distraction being about a week away from the opening game and not having a starting quarterback? No, we’re pretty much confident with whatever guy is back there. Whoever the coach names as a starter, we’re going to stand behind them and push them through the season, but it’s not a distraction at all for us right now. We’re not thinking about that. We just want both guys to get better. Do you have more responsibility because there isn’t a starting quarterback yet? Do you feel like you have to help them out more? Yeah, we definitely have more responsibilities from the get-go. We knew both of the guys were very inexperienced. We’ve just got to do our job as receivers and wherever they put the ball we’ve just got to go get it. When do you think you’re going to be able to take part in a full practice? We’re shooting for the end of the week. We’re going to slowly, day by day push me into it more and more … and we’ll see what happens at the end of the week.
