Queenly quintet aspires for crown By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Homecoming queen is expected to hold passion for the UA above all things. The Bobcat Senior Honorary conducts homecoming royalty elections. For those hoping to wear the crown, the process after nomination starts with an application. The application has a variety of questions, including, “If you could take Wilbur on a date where would you take him and why?” Emily May, Queen Selection cochairperson and a political science senior, said the Bobcats are looking at a student’s involvement, personality and, most of all, their passion for the UA as criteria for selection. “It is mostly just about how much you love the U of A,” May said, adding that they are looking to see “if it’s more than just the whole rah-rah thing, if it’s more of a passion.” After applications a mixer is held. This year it was held at the Marvin D. Swede Johnson building. According to May, this year’s event was “very casual.” After the first mixer applicants sign up for an interview time, and after the interviews, 15 women are invited to attend a second mixer. Events of this nature are usually held at someone’s house, but this year the Bobcats chose to hold them on campus. At the second mixer, students wore outfits that showed their UA spirit and played a game called

Campus Capture, in which students went around campus solving riddles related to the UA’s history and taking pictures in front of some of the campus’ historic locations. Some of these locations included a golden brick in the Student Union Memorial Center, Dirtbag’s Bar and the McKale Memorial Center. “It’s kind of cool to challenge people to go beyond,” May said. She said the Bobcats wanted the game to teach students little details about the UA’s history. “We want people to go and actually learn stuff … it’s an awesome honor to be Homecoming queen, but if we can teach a couple people a little more about history and tradition, then that’s kind of our goal. That’s why we’re here.” After the second mixer it’s time for the Bobcats to narrow the field once again, this time to five. This year the contending queens woke on Friday to Bobcats standing over them, screaming they’d made it to the final five. After hearing the news, the Bobcats treated the potential queens to a breakfast with contending kings at the local Blue Willow Restaurant, Bakery, and Gift Shop at 7:30 a.m. Now the decision is in the hands of UA students, and both the king and queen will be crowned at the Homecoming bonfire.

The Nominees:
Name: Rosette Abud Major: Communication
Q: Why do you want to be Homecoming queen? “I think I represent the average Arizona girl. I worked really hard and grew up in a small border town, came to Catholic school when I was a freshman, and now I’ve been a U of A cheerleader for four years.” Q: What is your favorite UA moment? “My freshmen year I cheered my first football game. The cheerleaders all get in a circle in the middle of the field and — I just got chills actually — I’ll never forget when I turned around and I looked at the sea of red and the fireworks went off and we tumbled across the field.”
Name: Jaime Bales Major: Psychology
Q: Why do you want to be Homecoming queen? “Well, I want to be Homecoming queen mostly for the experience and just the opportunity to get to represent the U of A in a great light and bring diversity to the whole entire process.” Q: What is your favorite UA moment? “Just initially coming to the campus and moving in by
myself … just finally feeling that independence and then getting the experience of being on a campus that is just as gorgeous as it is and so community based. It was just an unbelievable experience, immediately getting onto campus and just being.”
Name: Paige Weber Major: Accounting
Q: Why do you want to be Homecoming queen? “This is the biggest shock to me. I had no clue I would even be nominated, let alone be picked as a finalist, but I just think that I really want the opportunity to represent athletics for nominating me and just represent the school in a way that I would want people to view the school. That’s really exciting to get to do that on a large scale.” Q: What is your favorite UA moment? “I would have to say that, so far, my favorite U of A moment, even though we (the volleyball team) weren’t there, was probably when football beat Oregon at home, because we had a game the next day so we had to leave, but my whole team was in the lobby of our hotel screaming our heads off and getting in so much trouble from the hotel people because we were so happy that the guys won.”
Name: Kaitlin Simpson Major: Communication
Q: Why do you want to be Homecoming queen? “I think obviously any of these girls here would be really deserving, but I think it would be a really fun thing to represent the U of A. I try to represent the U of A in all of the greatest ways by being involved and succeeding academically.” Q: What is your favorite UA moment? “I would say one of the many insane football games. You know, those ones during the last few minutes we suddenly pull off this miraculous win. Those are some of my favorite ones.”
Name: Randilyn Crist Major: Communication
Q: Why do you want to be Homecoming queen? “Because I just want to represent the U of A. You know, it’s my last year, and I really want to experience something so U of A. I’m just really proud to do it. Both my parents went to the U of A so I’m second generation. I just talked to them, and they’re so excited. It’s kind of for the whole family, I guess.” Q: What is your favorite UA moment? “I loved the Oregon game my freshman year when we beat Oregon … it was the first time I had gone to a football game and stayed the whole time.”
11-year streak
Theta Tau, engineering fraternity, hopes for 12th-consecutive first place in float contest By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT This year’s homecoming theme is “One for the Ages,” but members of the UA chapter of the Theta Tau fraternity decided to add their own twist to it. They will be bringing the sci-fi 1985 movie “Back to the Future” to life with a flying Marty McFly as part of the float’s design. After presenting their futuristic Homecoming float design to a panel of alumni for approval using a computerized three-dimensional program to virtually design their model, more than 25 members of Theta Tau began working on safety features and making their vision feasible. “We actually will have one person suspended by cable on the front, appearing to be on a hover board as Marty McFly,” explained Nathan Oxnam, a computer engineering senior and one of the major float designers. Leandra Brettner, an engineering mathematics major who was in charge of aesthetics for the project, said the float means more to them professionally because it’s one of the program developmental events that encompasses a lot of engineering. “We take it a lot more seriously,” she said. “We have alumni from the engineering industry come in, hold a design review and have a completion schedule.” A team of six to seven people would normally work on the float during its construction phase, according to Oxnam, who oversaw most of the work. “The hardest engineering problem is coming up with a design that looks really cool but is safe too,” he said. “We’re planning on having at least five people suspended in the air and off the ground on Saturday.”
Brettner said the float would look to recreate scenes from the “Back to the Future” films. “In ‘Back to the Future Part III,’ there is a part where Marty McFly is on a hover board,” she said. “We hope to have a sort of beam that a person will be hooked up to using climbing gear to look like he’s flying on a hover board. He’ll also “be wearing an 80’s outfit” for even more of a realistic Marty McFly look. To preserve the overall theme of this year’s Homecoming, Theta Tau is including a silver and sage colored “A,” the colors of the theme, on their float. “We also have a filmstrip of pictures from many decades back, dating back to the first ever football game,” Brettner said. “We have a great photo of the first football team in their practice lineup.” They chose to include the filmstrip because football is a huge part of the university’s Homecoming history. A challenge Theta Tau members faced in the building process — aside from safety factors and cutting-edge engineering — was feasibility. “We allocated money in our annual budget to work on floats, but our biggest amount came from a donor,” Oxnam said. “Grant Rose Lumber donated wood that covered almost all of it, and that saved a huge chunk (of money). We also reused some things from the previous year.” One of these things is a Wilbur T. Wildcat costume, which Theta Tau used last year. Theta Tau has placed first in the float competition each of the last 11 years, and they don’t plan on letting that streak end anytime soon. “We hope to keep our winning streak alive,” said Bill Duy, a mining engineering senior.

Class of ’60 back for golden reunion Photo cutline information here. This is not a sideways soccer photo. This is not a sideways soccer photo. Please do not think this is a sideways soccer photo. Photo cutline information here. This is not a sideways soccer photo. This is not a
By Lívia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The class of 1960 is back on campus to reminisce this weekend. UA alumni association is honoring that year’s graduates for their 50-year golden reunion. Before the reunion begins, 1960 engineering graduate and former varsity football player Gary Cropper was talking with the person responsible for his enrollment at UA. His 96-year-old former eighth grade teacher got him a scholarship. “Next thing I knew I was in Tucson. I had never been in Arizona,” he said. Cropper met his wife here and got married senior year, “and we’re still married 51 years later,” he said. Since then, he has been involved with the university for 30 years, and was a chair at the UA alumni association board. When he arrived on campus in 1955, there were probably 8,000 students, he said. Some of the campus is still the same, even though it’s gotten much bigger and crowded. “What’s kind of neat about the whole deal is that the basic Mall is still the same. The football stadium is still the same, they just added to it,” Cropper said. Football games are totally different now than when he played, he said. Players are bigger, stronger and faster and the stadium only held 10 or 12,000 people, he remembered. “The lower part of the stadium is all that was there, if you look at the student section,” he said. Over all, the campus evolved but didn’t go away. “The Yavapai dorm to pick up your date is still there,” he said. Committee Co-Chair James Rogers didn’t come back to the UA for 27 years after he graduated from law school in 1962. But when he did, his mark was left permanently at the university.
Someone Here/ Arizona Daily Wildcat
The James E. Rogers College of Law is named after him for his donations to the school. “That thought never crossed my mind,” he said of the impact he came to have at the UA. It all started at the law college’s lobby, when he was asked to contribute at a time when it was in financial trouble. “I came down and walked in to the law school and said, ‘My god this is the same furniture than when I was here. I don’t even think you had it covered’,” he said. With several donations and after many years, his commitment grew in 1998, when over $100 million was given to the college, which was re-named after him. “I didn’t want to do anymore than what I had done in my
professional life so I decided I’d invest in the University of Arizona,” he said, and as any investment, “you watch it to see how it grows.” Of his time as a student, Rogers remembered studying a lot and paying his own way through school. A sharp difference now is the cost of higher education, he said. “I don’t think anybody in my class ever talked about a student loan. I don’t think there were any,” he said. Another big change for him is the football games. During his six years as a student, the Arizona Wildcats didn’t do so well. On the former parents weekend, his dad never saw them win a game. “I don’t think while I was here
we ever won a football game. So seeing them win is a pleasure,” Rogers said. Another 1960 graduate remembers her time full of studying. Patricia Preciado Martin’s family is going into its third generation of UA graduates. She and her siblings were the first in her family to graduate college, and it changed her life, the award-winning author said. Martin lived at home while going to school, and defined herself as “one of these students who spent a lot of time at the library,” she said. As a Mexican-American, she remembered Los Universitarios as being a great social tool for Latino students. “That gave me a
home,” she said. The group later became the UA Hispanic Alumni Association, which is still active on campus. She attends Homecoming weekend almost every year, and the Hispanic Association’s pachanga is one of the events she enjoys. She looks forward to reuniting with her old classmates. “I don’t know if any of us will recognize each other. 50 years is a long time, people change,” she said. For her, one of the positives changes in campus life are the resources and support available for Mexican-American students,. “We’ve come full circle and made a lot of progress, but we have to be very vigilant because we could slip back to where we were,” Martin said.
Recent alumni reminisce about UA always get different days off, so it is hard to make plans — by the time I am done with work I am too exhausted to go out. DW: What advice would you give current seniors and undergraduates? RS: If they are juniors, I would recommend getting internships. For seniors, I would say enjoy your last year because real life is not as easy. I would definitely use school resources to find a job, because it’s hard to find one these days. The reason I got my job was because of my internship and networking. Daily Wildcat: What did you get your degree in? Rebecca Schotz: Retailing and consumer sciences after graduating in May. DW: What are you doing now? Were you able to get a job right out of school? RS: Yeah, I had an internship last summer with Nordstrom, so I got a job in the kids’ shoes department right now.
DW: Did school prepare you well for the job market? RS: Yes. My major was good with that. I would always hear about different job opportunities and announcements that retailers were coming to interview students in my classes.
DW: How do you like your current job? RS: I love my job and working with kids. I also really enjoy sales and working on commission. DW: What made you want to come back for Homecoming? RS: I’m really excited to see all my friends who are still there. I have friends from all over who are coming down to Tucson. DW : What do you miss most about college? RS: I really miss living with my friends and being able to go out. My job is different because I work in retail and I don’t have consecutive days off. I never know my schedule. In school you have a set schedule, and that was nice. I work five days a week and
Daily Wildcat: What did you get your degree in? Bryan Grossman: Business management — I graduated in May. DW: What are you doing now? Were you able to get a job right out of school? BG: I work for a pediatric office
in Phoenix full time, almost 40 hours a week. I am training to be an EMT. I used to work for this office, and before I graduated they offered me a position. I am a workaholic and have always been a busy person. Most of the money I make is being saved to go to medical school. Fortunately, I live with my parents, so I do not have any big financial expenses. DW: What was the hardest thing to adjust to after graduating college? BG: Besides moving back with my parents? Not to be cliché, but seeing everyone else go back to school when August came around and people had their Facebook statuses saying they were going back to school, it really hit me that I wasn’t going back. DW: Can you share a fun college memory? BG: I actually ran for Homecoming king last year, and I was Homecoming king in high school, so I thought I would try two for two. I made it to the top ten, but I didn’t win. I was OK with that though. I still had a blast doing it.
when it comes to a business presentation, is not easy. Now if you give me a PowerPoint, I won’t just read the slides like many teachers do. I have developed the ability to present one successfully. DW: Which class would you tell students to avoid? BG: Accounting 210. Take it at Pima. DW: What food on campus or university do you miss the most? BG: I have an infatuation with No Anchovies. DW: What did the UA have that was really unique and set it apart from other schools? BG: I’ve been to a lot of colleges and I think every college has a central area, but when you go on the Mall, it’s so special at the UA. You can see the entire campus on the grassy area, and when you walk around, you always see someone you know. The atmosphere is beautiful. We have a great openness, gorgeous blue skies and great weather.
DW: What advice would you give current seniors and undergraduates? BG: I would just say, for me personally, get involved. It doesn’t matter what you do, but do things that will benefit you in the future. Everything I did, I knew would benefit me in the long run. DW: Did the UA prepare you well for the job market? How so? BG:. I thought Eller (College of Management) was great, and my business fraternity helped me. Eller forced you to do presentations, and I’m not a shy person, but learning how to present something, especially
DW: What are you doing now? Were you able to get a job right out of school? RL: I’m in law school in California right now. The economy did not have anything to do with me going to law school. DW: What was a memorable college moment? RL: Rushing the field for the Oregon game; I think it was two years ago when Oregon was ranked No. 2 in the fall of 2008 (sic). It was just really crazy. Everyone rushed, and everyone was getting trampled on. DW: What advice would you give current seniors and undergraduates? RL: Be persistent. Try your best and keep on working on whatever you want to do. Be motivated and annoy whoever you want to work for until they acknowledge you. DW: What was your favorite class? RL: The Africana experience. It really got me to understand the African American hardship and what they dealt with. It was a class I really enjoyed, and it showed how diverse the UA was with their classes. DW: What food on campus do you miss the most? RL: I miss the Park Student Union. They had a Philly cheese steak that was amazing. I never got sick. It was a solid place.
Daily Wildcat: When did you graduate and what was your degree in? Ryan Lefton: I graduated in December 2009 and majored in regional development.
DW: What did the UA have that was really unique and set it apart from other schools? RL: The campus. I loved how well it was designed, the brick buildings and the Mall covered with grass. It is a great campus compared to a lot of other schools. — Yael Schusterman

GAME DAY Scott’s redemption
X-Factors Arizona: Joe Perkins, FS
While all eyes will be on the offense, this game probably depends on the defense. Senior Joe Perkins has been a jack-of-alltrades so far this season, lining up in the box and at the line of scrimmage as often as he does in his traditional free safety spot. Perkins will likely be in the flex role again, making him the key to stopping Locker’s throwing as well as Locker’s running. Perkins played in the box for most of the season before dropping back deep for most of the Washington State game, but expect him to mix it up more to keep Locker on his toes.
Washington: Jermaine Kearse, WR
Locker is the key to the offense, but a quarterback is only as good as his wide receivers allow him to be. Fortunately for Locker he has a stallion in Kearse — a tall, speedy receiver who can stretch the field as well as turn a quick hitch into a big gain. The Wildcats got torched by Oregon State — the only team they’ve played with an above-average set of quarterbacks and receivers so far — and top receiver James Rodgers had a field day against the secondary. That doesn’t bode well for UA, considering Kearse had a whopping 146 yards and four touchdowns against Oregon State last week. — compiled by Tim Kosch
By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona Wildcats need to prove that they haven’t gone into panic mode tomorrow against the Washington Huskies . With the loss of starting quarterback Nick Foles, the fate of the Arizona season is up in the air and in the hands of junior Matt Scott. “It starts around Matt, no matter what,“ said receiver Juron Criner. “He’s the quarterback, and he’s ready to go.” The No. 15 Wildcats have made the adjustments in practice this week without Foles, but they’ll have to make sure those adjustments show on the field. “Matt’s looking well. He’s practiced well. He’s practiced well all year,” said Arizona (5-1, 2-1 Pacific 10 Conference) head coach Mike Stoops. “It’s no big deal to (Scott) or us. We’re going to do what we do, do the things that (Scott) likes to do, and hopefully he’ll go out and make a bunch of plays that Matt (Scott) has practiced well all season.” With the offense in a state of transition, the defense needs to be the grounding body. Literally. “We definitely need to come out and do all of our jobs, make sure that we lock those guys down,” said linebacker Paul Vassallo. “Making sure that we can contain (Washington quarterback Jake Locker) if he does pull the ball and run.” The defense will have to show up at home and give Scott and the offense some time to work out the kinks — a tall task considering the threats that Locker poses. “With his athletic ability to improvise and make plays, I think that’s just who he is. That’s hard to do all the time,” said Stoops of not letting Locker get out of control. While the defense will help keep the team in the game as the offense finds its stride, the running game will help Scott get comfortable. The trio of
Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Wide receiver Juron Criner will have to carry the offensive load now that Matt Scott has replaced Nick Foles due to injury. The junior wide receiver is known for making catches down field but will likely need to settle for shorter passes with Scott now under center.
Nic Grigsby, Keola Antolin and Greg Nwoko should expect to see increased carries, and Scott will even run the ball

You don’t play guys like that every week, so when you do Imagine a 6-foot-3, 230-pound you’ve just got to spend some quarterback with an NFL arm, the more time in film and get better speed and vision of a running back prepared.” Locker’s had an up and down and the power of a fullback. Impossible? Not for Washington year for the Huskies this season, but as linebacker Paul Vassallo senior quarterback Jake Locker. “He’s damn good. He’s a hell said, “Any time you’re menof an athlete.

If the Wildcats hope to stay in contention while Foles is recovering from a right knee injury, Scott and the Arizona offense must out duel Locker and the Huskies with the intentions of saving the perception of the Wildcats’ goal of the Rose Bowl. “We all have to step up,” Criner said. “We all gotta be the one to make plays.”
Run effectively
The most puzzling part of the 2010 season has been Arizona’s running game. Seemingly stuck in neutral all season, the Wildcats run to a pedestrian 120.7 yards per game, good enough for just eighth in the Pacific 10 Conference and 90th in the nation. Being able to run effectively is the key to a consistent offense, but being able to run effectively tomorrow against Washington might be the only way to win with inconsistent quarterback Matt Scott making his first start of the season.

Win the turnover battle
Arizona has been average this season when it comes to turnovers. While the defense has picked off six passes, the offense has also thrown six balls away. In what figures to be a close match, the team that takes the best advantage of turnovers likely will win. Scott needs to stay within himself and not give anything away, and Arizona needs to capitalize on one of the inevitable mistakes Locker will make when trying to make something out of nothing.
Shut the Locker

Washington quarterback Jake Locker tries to put off the rushing defense of Nebraska’s Lavonte David in the second half at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Wash, on Sept. 18. Nebraska thumped Washington, 56-21.
everybody and then he can run it,” Vassallo said. Arizona’s struggled to contain opposing quarterbacks after they’ve escaped the pocket this
season and that can’t happen against Locker. “We’ve got our work cut out for us this week, and we know that,” Kish said.
Only Nebraska has been able to truly shut down Jake Locker, and as good as Arizona’s defense is this season, it is a very different defense from the Cornhuskers. A key to stopping Locker will be to keep him from breaking a big one on the ground. Arizona has been susceptible to long quarterback runs because their defensive ends tend to speed rush the edges rather than bull-rush the middle, leaving the tackles to clean up the inside. Both Brooks Reed and Ricky Elmore do this well, but a fast quarterback will take advantage of the interior holes. Arizona’s defensive linemen need to stay true to their rush responsibilities.

Football is driven by the quarterback, and the Pac-10 is the most quarterback-driven league in the country. Jake Locker is one of the best in the nation, and Nick Foles is right there behind him. Unfortunately Foles isn’t playing, giving the reigns to unproven Matt Scott. As much as I expect UA’s defense to step up, I just think Scott is too skittish in the pocket to be trusted. Washington 20, Arizona 16
Arizona might be the underdog heading into Saturday’s homecoming matchup. Nick Foles is MIA, and Jake Locker isn’t. Arizona will have its hands full with the Huskies’ offensive attack of Locker, Chris Polk and Jermaine Kearse. And it remains to be seen how Matt Scott will respond in his first start of the 2010 season. But although Washington’s offense can be lethal, Arizona’s defense will clamp down and squeak one out. Arizona 24, Washington 21
Arizona got a bad bounce last year in Seattle. And the state wasn’t so kind this year either when quarterback Nick Foles went down with a knee injury at Washington State. Matt Scott takes over this week, but it’s the Wildcats’ defense that keeps Arizona in the game. Washington hasn’t won or lost two games in a row this season. Luckily for Arizona, Washington is due for a loss this week. Arizona 29, Washington 20

Jonathan Overpeck, co-director for the UA’s Institute of the Environment, speaks at a conference held in the Rincon room of the Student Union Memorial Center on Wednesday. Rep. Raul M. Grijalva announced that a $3.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior will fund a new Southwest Climate Center to be hosted by the UA.
Federal grant funds new UA center to connect policy makers, science By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA will be the lead university of the U.S. Department of Interior’s Southwest Climate Science Center. The center will develop strategies and solutions for climate change and work to connect science with public policy makers. “It was a competitive process,” said Rep. Raul Grijalva on the decision process that went into selecting the UA. Grijalva gave the announcement to a packed crowd in
the Student Union Memorial Center on Wednesday. The Southwest Climate Science Center is a consortium made up of six other schools with UA acting as the central hub. This is the fourth regional climate science center created by the department, and they plan to establish four others. Jonathan Overpeck, co-director for the UA’s Institute of the Environment, will lead the center. They have a $3 million grant to set up the structure of the center with
more funding to follow, according to Overpeck. The center will look at climate change in relation to science as well as communication, the social sciences and public policy. “It’s going to cut across all the colleges … we’re all going to have a role to play,” Overpeck said. “It’s all about usable knowledge and that’s what we want to produce, not prescriptions of how to deal with problems. We’re not telling anyone how to do it — but to give decision makers choices.”
UA Biosphere 2 Director Travis Huxman is excited about the UA’s opportunity to make an impact on how science is done. “We’re accelerating the production of usable science to impact the way people make management decisions about our land resources,” Huxman said. “Primarily, I’m excited for us because its an opportunity for us to really create these new scientists that are going to wear all of these wonderful hats that really CLIMATE, page 7
Students are pushing to shake things up in the same-sex designations for roommates in residence halls. About 30 UA students from the LGBTQ community attended a forum held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, to discuss the establishment of a themed wing or floor in a residence hall that would be designated for people of their community who often feel victimized, uncomfortable, misunderstood or unsafe. “Our goal is to have something in place for next year, recognizing that our returning students have to sign up for housing by February,” said Hannah Lozon, coordinator of social justice education at Residential Life. “We need to get as much support as we can,” she added. Support is something they have struggled with endlessly, students at the meeting said. Tyler Diaz, a junior transfer student, took out extra loans to live off campus because he was afraid to live on campus. “If I would’ve known the community was more inclusive, I would’ve saved a lot of money and lived on campus,” he said.

DUI drama wins UA dancers’ steps make cents student film prize By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Not all participants in the Campus MovieFest film “D.U.I: Under the Influence” knew they were being filmed. The five-minute film was shot at University Medical Center and follows a man who crashes his car after driving drunk. Many members of the medical staff believed the actor was a real patient. Physiology senior Kandarp Shah and finance senior Jigar Desai made the film with help from Dr. Rifat Latifi, UMC associate director of trauma, critical care and emergency surgery. “(Latifi) did not tell anybody that I was going to be a fake patient,” said Desai, the film’s primary actor. “He basically kind of made a twist in this movie so everyone would do this the way they’d treat a real patient.” Desai was taken from the UMC
helipad to the operating room. Staff cut open his shirt and actually drew blood. “We had to stop them from doing further procedures,” said Shah, who directed the film. The realistic footage helped the team win the award for best drama at the University of Arizona Campus MovieFest competition on Oct. 1. The competition loans students film equipment to make short films within one week. The students won Final Cut software and an iPod Nano. The film will also go to a national competition in June. “The audience was really, really surprised by the footage,” Shah said. “All the audience came to us after and asked us, ‘How did you take this patient to the O.R.? How is this possible?’” Shah competed in the film festival last year but did not win an

Benefit depicts ‘trials the women go through’

continued from page 1 “Mika came to me with the idea of starting a dance group whose primary objective would be to raise funds for other organizations,” Lazarus said. “It’s to celebrate the joy of life but also to give back to people who are going through difficult times.” The organization plans on holding four events each year, starting with its first benefit show this Friday and Saturday. “It was just kind of an idea I’ve had for a long time,” Deslongchamps said. “I wanted the dance community to come together, despite their different backgrounds, and give back to the community.” The two want the show to benefit different organizations each year. This year, all proceeds will benefit local breast cancer causes through the Arizona Cancer Center and the International Cancer Advocacy Network. “We decided to focus on research and advocacy,” Lazarus said. “We feel that those are two areas that aren’t necessarily touched as much as maybe awareness is.” Deslongchamps said they chose the cause in part because Lazarus is a breast cancer survivor. “A lot of the dancers have personal connections, so we thought it would be a good one to start with,” Deslongchamps said. “It’s a big one that people know about.” Deslongchamps recruited dancers from the UA and around Tucson to donate their time. The group is composed of about 20 to 25 people who started rehearsals over the summer. Dancers have practiced from 9 p.m. to midnight four days a week for the past month. “It’s been a big commitment for the dancers. All of them are either full-time professional dancers, full-time college students or parents,” Deslongchamps said.
Psychology sophomore Christopher Smith, who will dance in the show and choreographed one of the dances, heard about the organization from a friend. “I showed up, saw the dances and decided this is something I want to be a part of,” Smith said. Smith said he juggles the rehearsals with practices for an African dance ensemble at the UA. “I kind of just go from one to the other,” Smith said. “It is your life.” The show features about 10 dances previously performed by other studios and another 10 choreographed by group members specifically for the event. “Every single one of them is a premiere work,” Deslongchamps said. “A never-seen-before piece.” English sophomore Elle Grant choreographed a 17-minute piece for the show called “The Flood.” “It’s about the trials the women go through with breast cancer,” said Grant, who is also a dance minor. “So it’s talking about the initial finding out and the tearing apart of relationships.” Deslongchamps said the two-hour show features several types of dance. “(The audience is) going to see a huge variety of dance styles from African to modern and everything in between,” Deslongchamps said. “They’re also going to get to see a group of people who really love to perform together.” Smith said the show is an enjoyable way for people to give back. “If you’re not there to support the cause, who doesn’t like to see people dance around and have fun?” Smith asked. “A lot of our dances make you smile. If you don’t smile, some of our dances will make you cry. It’s better than a movie.”

Time for UA to embrace gender-inclusive housing
W
hy are many college students — most of them legal adults — who choose to live on campus required to live with same-sex roommates? That’s one of the questions being asked at the UA and on college campuses across the nation by advocates of gender-inclusive housing. On Wednesday night, about 30 students from the LGBTQ community met with representatives from Residence Life to discuss the possibility of establishing a gender-inclusive or LGBTQ-themed portion of a residence hall, possibly starting as early as next year. This proposition feels like a no-brainer. The UA and many other universities currently employ an archaic policy when it comes to on-campus housing. The assumption that men “should” live with men, and women with women, stems from a set of anachronistic stigmas about gender relations that universities should have left behind decades ago. Only relatively recently have women and men been allowed to live in the same building, let alone the same floor. An article in the Daily Wildcat archives reveals that UA residence halls began to go coed as recently as 1984. But male-female dorms seem innocuous to all but the most conservative students and parents today. The next decade will almost inevitably see gender-inclusive housing, like coed housing, become the rule rather than the exception on college campuses. Today, the main argument for samesex roommates has more to do with comfort and safety than morality. This makes sense; some men and women might feel uneasy or even at risk living with someone of the opposite sex. Of course, residence halls should feel secure for all students, and no one should ever be asked to live with someone who makes him or her feel unsafe. But gender-inclusive housing wouldn’t place men and women together as roommates at random. Instead, it would allow people to choose to live in a part of a residence hall that was specifically designated as gender inclusive. The availability of such a living situation is especially vital for students who identify with the LGBTQ community. Many students who are gay or transgender feel unsafe in traditional residence hall arrangements. They face everything from gossip and stigmatization to hate crimes. This was made tragically evident when Tyler Clementi, a freshman at Rutgers University, committed suicide after his roommate broadcast via the Internet an intimate moment between Clementi and another man. Clementi’s death is an extreme example, but gay and transgender students in the dorms face harassment on a daily basis. Many fear being placed with a roommate who will not understand or accept their sexual orientation and will be cruel to them as a result. This fear is not unfounded, and Residence Life should take it seriously. At least 35 colleges and universities across the nation, including several large state schools, have some form of genderinclusive housing. While such housing opportunities on those campuses have by no means eliminated bigotry toward the LGBTQ community, they have gone a long way in making students feel more secure in their living situations. The opportunity to live in a community that is guaranteed to be safe, accepting and inclusive is one every student should be afforded. Currently, and unfortunately, that is not the case at the UA. While there are certainly still kinks to work out in the process of establishing gender-inclusive housing, Residence Life must take every step possible toward making such housing a reality. No one should ever feel persecuted, or even mildly uneasy, because they’ve been placed with a roommate who doesn’t accept who they are. The UA must leave behind outdated assumptions and practices and make gender-inclusive housing a reality.

office. He also said he would not risk his reputation as a journalist to make unsubstantiated claims against Brewer. On his blog, Brewer’s campaign adviser Chuck Coughlin posted a 20-year-old transcript of an interview in which a nameless speaker alleged Goddard, a married father, was gay. Coughlin quickly apologized and backpedaled as if he could just take back what he suggested about Brewer’s competition. The Brewer camp was illustrating a point, he said. He wanted to make it clear that Brewer’s health is as irrelevant as Goddard’s sexual orientation. That did not go as planned, and there is still no accounting for why Brewer thinks stubbornly refusing to answer questions will convince people that she is in perfect health. When Dougherty pointed out a band-aid she was wearing in a photo and said it was from a thyroid biopsy, reporters asked about the band-aid. Brewer said she’d been wearing a few, but did not remember the one on her chest, despite the photograph. None of this criticism validates Dougherty’s claims, which appear to rely solely on the testimony of one anonymous

he past few weeks have been spent speculating on the state of Gov. Jan Brewer’s health, with bloggers suggesting that she could be suffering from anything ranging from dementia or a stroke, to cancer. But some unofficial guess of a diagnosis is not going to be my reason for not voting for her. I’m not voting for Brewer because she reminds me of an awkward turtle trapped on its back. Watching Brewer’s arms and legs flail in the effort to right herself during her campaign is painful enough, and I don’t want to watch that for four years. Last week, John Dougherty, former U.S. Senate candidate and an investigative journalist, claimed in Facebook and Twitter posts that “there are persistent reports from reliable sources” that Brewer is too “seriously ill” to finish a four-year term. Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry Goddard recently released his health records, and called on Brewer to do the same. Brewer brushed off the doubts about her health as “just outrageous” and said Dougherty had “zero credibility.” Dougherty said he stood by his source, whom he claimed worked in the governor’s
guy whose credibility cannot be evaluated. The speculation over Brewer’s health is unfounded and unnecessary, an effort to draw voters away from the issues. That said, her response to speculation is poor and will not win voters over. In typical Brewer fashion, she retreated from questions and lashed out at others to deflect attention from herself. She also distanced herself from Coughlin, though he is her top adviser and she should have expected to be linked to him immediately after his blog post. Then she pretended to fail to remember an incident (which, given the context, was easily not of her most persuasive moments). Brewer has this habit of pasting a vacanteyed grin on her face every time she’s asked a difficult question. It turns out she also does it when she’s asked simple ones, like why anyone could suggest she is too sick to be capable of finishing a four-year term. This is probably why bloggers thought it would be OK to suggest she had a stroke before her infamous 16 seconds of silence during the gubernatorial debate. I will not spend Nov. 2 seriously considering Dougherty’s Facebook status updates or his anonymous source in the governor’s office. It would be unfortunate if Brewer were sick, especially too sick to complete a full term if elected, but her handling of the controversy ought to be the real deal breaker. — Kristina Bui is a sophomore majoring in journalism and political science.

Tenth-grade civics: The separation of church and state is an issue that has been on the minds of constitutional framers and enforcers for hundreds of years. Unless you’re Christine O’Donnell, who apparently decided, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” doesn’t bar church and state from commingling. Technically, she’s right. Functionally? Not so much. Juan Williams: The former political commentator for National Public Radio was fired after an appearance on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor,” during which he said, “When I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they’re identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.” Granted, it’s not as bad as if he said that he would get nervous encountering an African American in a dark alleyway, but that’s why we have Chris Wallace. Ice, ice, baby: According to a report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, temperatures in the Arctic and Greenland continue to be well above historical norms.

Biosphere 2 teaches how plants eat rocks By Lívia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Lisa Beth Earle/Arizona Daily Wildcat
The upcoming Landscape Evolution Observatory at the Biosphere 2 will help researchers evaluate the interaction between soils, ecology, geomorphology and biochemistry in relation to the behavior of water in our world. Topics like this are discussed in Biosphere 2’s continuing “Let’s Talk Science!” lecture series.

Paper beats rock and plants eat rocks. Biosphere 2 will show how plants can eat rocks at a lecture on Saturday. A discussion of the relationship between plants and rocks serving as a source for nutrients will continue the Biosphere 2 “Let’s Talk Science!” lecture series on Saturday. Part of an outreach effort, the eight-lecture series will take place every Saturday until Dec. 4. Research faculty members were chosen to speak about their primary areas of expertise in an effort to reach out to the community and improve scientific literacy. Soil chemist and assistant research professor Katerina Dontsova’s lecture, “How can plants eat rock?” will be held this Saturday. The lecture’s focus is appealing to many, Dontsova said. “Everybody knows about plants in their garden. How (they) get nutrients from the soil, particularly from rocks we often see in Arizona, might be of interest.” The researcher recently received a grant from the National Science Foundation to do this work on microorganisms, plants and rock weathering. Her work focuses on rocks’ transformation to secondary minerals, when elements are released that can be a nutrition source for plants. She is also working on a larger, related Biosphere 2 project called the Landscape Evolution Observatory. It will explore interactions between biology, geology and chemistry and its effects on water movements. It is a tool to bring public awareness to “the important science done at the biosphere,” said Hassan Hijazi, director of external affairs for Biosphere 2. The series kicked off Oct. 9 and is on its third week. As the Biosphere enters the fourth year under
IF YOU GO What: Biosphere 2“Let’s Talk Science!” Third lecture:“How can plants eat rock?” When: Saturday, noon Where: Biosphere 2 Visitor Center UA administration, it’s “a good time to revisit the significant research that’s being performed,” said Matt Adamson, the Biosphere 2 senior program coordinator organizing the series. Biosphere 2 receives 80,000 visitors a year, and people touring the center will be able to hear first-hand about the findings of research they see being conducted, Hijazi said. At the lectures, in seminar style where participants are free to ask questions, live shots will be shown to the audience of where in Biosphere 2 the particular work presented is being done. Adamson predicted a heavily research-oriented facility emerging over time, with visitor tours concentrating on the work being done more than the history of the site. The lecture series’ championing of science awareness is important, Dontsova said. She used climate change as an example of research that has been “long accepted by scientists,” and a “large fraction of the public” still doesn’t believe it to be true. “It’s very important to tell the public about research that’s going on. (If the public) is more involved, (they) can make informed decisions about information they receive,” she said.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrested a non-UA affiliated man for driving with a suspended license on Tuesday. The officer was at an intersection on Speedway Boulevard at about 12:09 a.m. when he noticed a car in the middle lane stopped at the same light, traveling in the opposite direction. The vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lights were off, so the officer did a U-turn in the patrol car and pulled the car over. The driver identified himself verbally, and a records check revealed his driver â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license was suspended. The man recited the last four digits of his Social Security number to the officer, which matched the one on the suspended license. After his identity was confirmed, the man was placed under arrest for driving with a suspended license and his vehicle was towed.
Debate gets physical
A man reported that another man assaulted him on Monday at 5:22 p.m. Both men are UA students and were part of a political demonstration occurring before a debate at the Student Union Memorial Center. Neither one of the two men were injured. The man accused of assault apologized for his actions. The victim indicated he had no intentions of prosecuting. On Monday, a UAPD officer was monitoring a crowd that had gathered near the student union for a political debate that was about to start. There were several people in the crowd yelling and chanting for their political candidates. The officer noticed a disturbance in the crowd as a victim came running forward yelling, â&#x20AC;&#x153;His hands were around my neck, he was choking me!â&#x20AC;? The officer started toward this person, who was pointing towards another man. The officer took both students aside and obtained identification from each of them. Both individuals were very agitated and still yelling at each other. The officer advised both men that they needed to calm down so that he could determine what had happened. The officer questioned the victim first, who explained that he had been shouting in the crowd when the other man got angry and placed his hands around his neck as if to choke him. He said he was not injured, and that the other man hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t applied pressure on his neck. He did not feel that he had tried to choke him. The victim said he only wanted the other man to know that he could not act like that or get physical. When asked if he wanted the man to be arrested for his actions, the victim said he did not believe things â&#x20AC;&#x153;rose to that level,â&#x20AC;? and was not willing to participate in the prosecutorial process. The officer then spoke with the other man and asked him what had happened. The man said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I lost my cool,â&#x20AC;? and admitted he had put his hands around the other studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neck. He said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to choke him. He just wanted to hold him there because he was so frustrated with him. The man stated he had become upset because the victim had been shouting political rhetoric directly in his face. He also said he understood violence was not acceptable and apologized to the victim. Both subjects shook hands and were laughing about what had happened as they parted ways.
Can is half-empty
A man was arrested for consuming alcohol in public on Tuesday. A UAPD officer was driving eastbound on Speedway Boulevard at 8 a.m. when he noticed a man sitting at a bus stop drinking from a can in a brown paper bag. The officer went up to him and saw that the can was a 24-ounce can of Steel Reserve beer. The man was identified, cited and released for consuming spirituous liquor in public. The officer disposed of the half-full beer can on scene.
Unattended backpack stolen from Old Main
A UA student reported a backpack containing her laptop and wallet was stolen sometime between 12:15 p.m. and 1:06 p.m. on Tuesday. The officer spoke with the woman on the phone at 1:06 p.m. She told him she had left her green Jansport backpack near the stage at Old Main at about 12:46 p.m. that day and when she returned at 1:06 p.m., it was gone. Her Blackberry phone, wallet, credit cards, $60 in cash and laptop had all been in the backpack.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your bike? Prove it
A man said he found his stolen bicycle locked up to a bike rack on the north side of Old Main on Tuesday. A UAPD officer went to Old Main and met with the man at 2:35 p.m. to figure out what had happened. The man said his bike had just been stolen at around 2 p.m. from the Modern Languages building and had wanted to try and locate the bike before filing a report with UAPD. He said he knew it was his because there were three scratches on the seat of the bicycle that he had put there. The man also said that he still had the paperwork for the bike and could prove ownership. The officer placed a UAPD bike lock on the frame of the bicycle to secure it in place. The man will bring his proof of ownership documents to UAPD, or the lock will be removed.

A studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bicycle was stolen from the bike racks behind Sky View Apartments sometime between the hours of 1:30 p.m. on Friday and 9:30 p.m. on Monday. The student had locked up his bicycle with two cable locks on Friday and returned to the same spot three days later to find it missing. He reported the incident at 10:58 a.m. on Monday and met with a UAPD officer to give his report. The student described his bicycle as being almost all white, with some black and red accents. The bicycleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value is believed to be about $300. The student did not have his bicycle registered with Parking and Transportation Services, and was not sure of his bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serial number at the time of his report either. He was advised to call UAPD back when he was able to find that information. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

biggest issue in her UA residential experience has always been roommates. Other attendees agreed with her, expressing that it was uncomfortable and problematic to share a room with another woman who treated them differently because of their sexual orientation. “We need to identify people who are allies of LGBTQ and people comfortable living with us,” she said. Some attendees voiced that they preferred to live in rooms or suites with the same sex. Others preferred to live with the opposite sex, for the sole reason that there is no attraction and they can feel more comfortable in the room. An option that many students were in favor of was being able to state your rooming preference of gender and sexual orientation when applying for campus housing. That way, the entire rooming process would be optional. “This isn’t about segregation. It is only about making people feel more inclusive and safe,” Lozon said. “The problem with this sort of option is it could stem to include other modes of segregation,” said Jim Van Arsdel, director of Residence Life. “The reason we don’t collect more demographical information (from students) is that race, religion, sexual identity, etc. can also be fought for on the roommate preference issue. Part of the difficulty is that if we become too accommodating, we get to the point where we are expected to be the agents of hatred. Not gathering that sort of demographic information allows us to say ‘We don’t know.’ Asking questions about religion or anything of that sort is going to get the public to think we’re going to act on those answers in some way, which is inappropriate.” Bryan Ponton, a junior studying art history and journalism, had a white board

hanging on the door of his room and a resident wrote the word “fag” on it. “It was my first experience with a hate crime and I just think we need more training for resident assistants in dealing with them, and programs for dealing with them,” he said. There are 54 other universities in the country who have established LGBTQ themed wings or areas in their residence halls, according to Lozon. “Most of those started off initially only open to returning students, then as they are fueled on, became open to incoming freshmen,” Lozon said. “We’re looking at many different models, but more importantly want to know what our students think first.” Northeastern University has gender-neutral housing available for upper-class students during the room selection process, according the Northeastern University Housing and Residence Life website. The themed housing option was established in 2009. Van Arsdel said he sees why there is aspiration to establish a new wing, but he does not know how it could become reality and ensure its survival after the creators leave. “The broader the base of support … the more realistic this idea can be. We want it to work to the effect that the lives of students are changed in a positive way. Often after a new program is initiated strongly, the supportive members who helped launch it leave and it dies out,” he said. “We don’t want it to die out in two years. We need people who stick around.” After parting ways, all LGBTQ attendees were enthused about the possible launch of a themed wing for them. “What can I do next? I have a lot of friends who would be interested … where do I tell them to sign up?” Diaz asked.

‘Invisible fence’ may lose US interest MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS
WASHINGTON — The Department of Homeland Security, apparently ready to cut its losses on a so-called invisible fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, has decided not to exercise a one-year option for Boeing to continue work on the troubled multibillion-dollar plan involving high-tech cameras, radar and vibration sensors. The result, after an investment of more than $1 billion, may be a system with only 53 miles of unreliable coverage along the nearly 2,000-mile border. The virtual fence was intended to link advanced monitoring technologies to command centers for Border Patrol to identify and thwart human trafficking and drug smuggling. But from the beginning, the program has been plagued by missed deadlines and the limitations of existing electronics in rugged, unpredictable wilderness where high winds and a tumbleweed can be enough to trigger an alarm. Homeland Security officials decided on Sept. 21 not to invoke the department’s option with Boeing, the
principle contractor on the project, and instead extended the deal only to midNovember, Boeing officials confirmed this week. Boeing has charged DHS more than $850 million since the project began in 2006. The two-month Boeing extension about to run out, several members of Congress expect DHS to rule soon on the fate of the invisible fence, the hi-tech portion of the $4.4 billion Secure Border Initiative. DHS spokesman Matt Chandler would only say a new way forward for the program “is expected shortly.” But given that the virtual fence has yet to pass muster even in the 53-mile test area — two sections in Arizona that officials acknowledge won’t be fully operational until 2013 — and the government’s lack of interest in extending Boeing’s contract, most do not expect DHS to invest billions more in a project that has continually disappointed. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he hopes DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano acts soon. “The program is headed in the wrong direction,” Thompson said.
Most UA Students Drink Less
Workers find concessions sweet By Michelle A. Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT It’s not all just popcorn and cotton candy, concession workers say. “I know when people think of concessions, people think it’s just hot dogs and nachos, but we put in a lot of hard work and we make these events happen; it takes a lot of time and preparation,” said Cameron Wiggins, a microbiology Pima Community College student and UA concessions worker for the past two years. “It’s not all fun and games. We work hard. We work really hard.” For Arizona football games, workers arrive at the stadium five hours before kickoff. They count and clean every item and begin preparing the food, but workers say it’s worth it. “It’s a lot of fun. You get some real characters who come here: the guys who are all painted up, red faces, crazy hairdos and the like,” said Rhonda Hamacher, treasurer for the Roadrunners, a softball not-for-profit group that works at the games to fundraise. “I have not found any students to be rude, obnoxious; they’re all polite and just having fun.” On a good night, the concessions booth in the student section will make around $10,000 in profits. Not-for-profit groups take 15 percent of the total profits for their stands. The concessions workers are a tight-knit group because they work together for so long and, for most, for many years. Marilyn Taylor, a level supervisor, has been working concessions since she was a 12-yearold selling hot dogs up and down the stands. “I like working with the groups and the

excitement of the crowd,” Taylor said. “I like the chaos, fun chaos from when I get there until I leave.” Now she is responsible for the entire operation on the top east side of the stadium. Her day begins at 1 p.m. for a 7 p.m. game and doesn’t end until 11:30 p.m. The new ZonaZoo policy, which allows students to enter games four hours before kickoff, means the workers have to come to the stadium even earlier. “Is it cost-effective? Not really, but it meets the needs of our clients and that’s what Greg (Byrne) is looking to do, and we had to think how to do this,” Taylor said. Even though the workers can’t watch the game from their booths inside the stands, they still root for the Wildcats. “The better the U of A plays, the hungrier they (students) seem to be,” Hamacher said. “If we’re doing bad, that’s a slow night; everyone goes home early or sits in seats and pouts, so we’re always hoping for a good score.” Even if they are watching the game, they’re thinking about the concessions. “When I bring my kids to the games, in the back of my mind I’m wondering what’s going on in the background,” Taylor said. Some concessions workers plan on continuing to work at games for many years to come. “Well, my husband says he’s not planning on stopping coaching ever, and as long as he’s coaching, we’re planning on working at the U of A,” Hamacher said. “It’s a lot of fun. They’re a great crowd; I definitely wouldn’t mind working here after I’m actually done going to school,” Wiggins said.

award. “This semester, I thought I wanted to do something better, something meaningful,” Shah said. “I wanted to do something that applied to the community as a whole.” Shah said he decided to focus on drinking and driving because “it has been an issue at the UA.” “I work in the ER because I’m pre-med, and every weekend we see patients come in who have been drunk driving,” Shah said. Shah then approached Desai about acting in the film. “This movie was promoting a good cause. I took the action and was like, ‘OK, let me help you guys out,’” Desai said. “It was a lot of fun as well.” Shah knew Latifi from previous medical work and asked him to help. His connections with UMC staff allowed the group to film the same evening. “He got everybody in the film to be ready right on the spot,” Desai said. “We got all the footage done in about three to four hours, I would say.” Latifi said he readily agreed to participate. “Unfortunately, we deal with this all too often in the trauma room,” Latifi said. “Anything we can do to prevent one of you guys, one of the students, a young person, anyone from getting drunk behind the wheel, I will do it.” Latifi said he wanted the film to show even graver consequences, had there not

Shah also plans on making more films. “I always wanted to do something with media and medicine,” Shah said. “I don’t see myself just being a doctor.” He has a film idea in the works focusing on minorities in medicine. He said he will have the opportunity to speak with directors and filmmakers during the national competition this summer. “We can propose our ideas to them, and if they like it, we can take it further,” Shah said.

Pac-12 plans announced
Football divided into North and South divisions, UA and ASU in the South Expected revenue
By Bryan Roy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The future Pacific 12 Conference took a final leap towards its vital upcoming television contract negotiations by aligning football’s conference divisions, solidifying title game logistics and finalizing revenue sharing Commissioner Larry Scott announced the expected football divisional alignment Thursday morning: Arizona joins ASU, UCLA, Southern California, Colorado and Utah in the Pac-12 South. Stanford, California, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State create the Pac-12 North by a unanimous agreement throughout the league. The nine-game conference football schedule includes the five inter-divisional games and four cross-division games. To maintain the deep tradition between the division-split Los Angeles and Bay Area schools, those four are guaranteed to play each other annually by using two of their four cross-division games on each other, Scott said. The best overall conference record in 2011 also hosts the conference’s first-ever football championship game. Scott said the league could use head-tohead or BCS to determine a tiebreaker if needed. “This is truly a historic day for the Pac-12 conference,” Scott said in San Francisco yesterday. “Our overarching objectives were very simple clear: we aimed to create a modern 12-team conference for the long-term. “We’re building not just a national, but a global brand,” Scott said.
get to see our teams play the most,” Byrne said.
The league also approved an equal revenue sharing agreement with one stipulation: Any year the conference does not earn $170 million in total media rights, UCLA and USC will each receive $2 million since both schools have traditionally generated more under the conference’s current appearancebased television revenue deal. Beginning in 2012, Arizona could receive about $15 million per season — almost double of what it earns now — based on market value of upcoming television contract negotiations. “There are other leagues in that ballpark already,” said UA athletic director Greg Byrne. “Knowing that we’re united as a league going forward, that helps us a lot with TV. There are players out there that want to be involved in college sports at a major level.” Byrne said the expected financial gains subsidize the burden of relying on ticket prices to pay for competitive coach’s salaries, new facilities and maintaining the 500-plus studentathletes from non-revenue generating sports.
Football’s title game setting
The league discussed several scenarios for the revenue-driven football championship game — neutral sites from Glendale to Seattle and every major city in between — but decided on home field advantage after weighing the benefits seen by the NFL Playoff model. “There will be great enthusiasm whoever the home team is,” Byrne said. “I think the atmosphere will be there, the ticket sales will be there. We hope it’s in Tucson, Ariz., as much as possible.”
Basketball unchanged
Basketball will not divide but rather will play an 18-game conference schedule with seven home-and-home series and four single games. A new television contract could open up the entire week to games, rather than the Thursday-Saturday travel combinations in the current Pac-10 format. Similarly, ESPN has weeknights dedicated to Atlantic Coastal Conference and Big East Conference games.
Southern California connection
The significance of competing in a division with the Los Angeles schools was on everyone’s radar. From a hotbed of nationally touted recruits in every sport to large alumni fan bases, Byrne recognized the impact — and geographic fortune — of maintaining strong ties with UCLA and USC. “That was one of my arguments. Let’s talk about from a travel standpoint what allows our fans to
Launching its own network
The Pac-12 is “very interested” and “seriously exploring” its own television network, Scott said, but will wait for offers from other networks when negotiations begin next year. Scott said television objectives go beyond financial gains, including exposure for the league’s highly competitive Olympic sports.
Hoops gets rolling with Red and Blue scrimmage Miller focusing on team defense
By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Sophomore forward Derrick Williams was an unknown commodity at last year’s Red and Blue scrimmage, yet by season’s end he was a Freshman AllAmerican. Head coach Sean Miller hopes that another freshman will follow the same path this season.
The Arizona basketball team has had its longest offseason in 25 years. After losing to UCLA in the Pacific 10 Conference tournament, the Wildcats failed to make both the NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament, ending its historic 25-year NCAA streak and sending them on a seven-month vacation. The Wildcats will play in front of a crowd for the first time since having its tournament streak ended at Staples Center on March 11 as the team prepares for its annual Red and Blue scrimmage in McKale Center on Sunday. Though the scrimmage is held to give the fans a glimpse of the team before the season, coaches and players are ready to start the process of getting over one of the program’s most disappointing seasons in over a quarter century. “Like a lot of programs, it’s been a work in progress, in our case, for a lot of months,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. “It’s been a lot of conversations, a lot of work individually, for our players and coaching staff to prepare for an improved season.” The Red and Blue scrimmage is a game in which players typically want to put on a show offensively, but Miller expects to see his players work on the defense and rebounding fundamentals they’ve focused on throughout the first week of practice. “We’ll have enough in for the Red/Blue game to take the ball out of bounds,” Miller said of what to expect from the players in the scrimmage. “It’ll be very simple in our approach; it’ll be about playing hard and playing together. “Initially we’re trying to see the things in front of a crowd that we’re doing in practice,” he added. “Offensive rebounding if you’re supposed to offensive rebound and team defense.” Since the first day of official practice last Friday, the Arizona coaching staff has

V-ball heads to Washington UA looks to snap two-game losing streak By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Relentless is a word that comes to mind when describing Pacific 10 Conference volleyball, and this weekend is no exception for No. 25 Arizona. The Wildcats (14-6, 3-4 Pac-10) play at No. 7 Washington (15-3, 4-3) tonight, and at Washington State on Saturday. The Wildcats are 5-0 in true road games this season. “Washington’s always been a very complete, very steady, very efficient team,” said head coach Dave Rubio. “They serve well. They don’t have any weaknesses and tend to never
beat themselves. You have to play at the same efficiency level as they do in order to compete.” Washington has played at a much more efficient level than Arizona to this point in the season, but Rubio sees some similarities between his squad and the Huskies. “We have a team like (Washington),” he continued. “We’re constantly battling some type of injury, but hopefully we get healthy here in the next couple of weeks. That’ll make a big difference, too.” Injuries have plagued the Wildcats so far in 2010. Outside hitter Whitney Dosty, Arizona’s second-leading scorer at the time of her injury, hasn’t been at 100 percent in a few weeks while
battling a stress fracture in her ankle. Freshman libero Candace Nicholson is dealing with a wrist issue, and junior middle blocker Kaylen Bannister is still working her way back into volleyball shape after giving birth to her son in August. All three should be able to play this weekend, but how effective they can be remains to be seen. Washington will be the sixth team that Arizona has faced ranked in the top 20. The Wildcats are 1-4 in those matches, but three of the four losses have come in five sets. “Washington is pretty straightforward — VOLLEYBALL, page 15
Wildcats host pair of elite teams Soccer set to play top-ranked Stanford, Cal By Michael Fitzsimmons ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT There is no rest in the Pacific 10 Conference when it comes to soccer. After dropping a tight match to rival ASU last weekend, the Wildcats soccer team will host a pair of the nation’s best teams this weekend in Tucson, starting with California tonight at 7 and then No. 1 Stanford on Sunday at noon. Against the Sun Devils, Arizona ended up on the wrong end of an evenly played match on both sides. The Wildcats displayed the energy that head coach Lisa Oyen has been looking for but left Tempe empty handed. “I think we were on the right path. The encouraging part is that we didn’t come out of last week’s game without a solution,” Oyen said. “It was encouraging to know that we have a way we can win games, but now it’s just seeing if we can do the little things to change close games into wins.” The nature of the Pac-10 won’t allow Arizona to test its adjustments against a weaker opponent. Instead, the Wildcats return home after a three game road stint with the talented Bears (7-3-4, 2-2 Pac-10) and Cardinal waiting. Stanford is undoubtedly deserving of its current number one ranking. The Cardinal (13-0-2, 4-0 Pac-10) has won 12 games in a row and feature immense depth on their roster — five different players scored for Stanford last week. “They’ve got depth, and they’ve got some very talented players. Both teams have players who are the top players in the country right now,” Oyen said. The Wildcats know how good their opponents this weekend are and relish the fact that they play the nation’s top teams week in and week out. Oyen talked about how in training this week, there was a palpable sense of motivation from players to see how they would measure up against the SOCCER, page 13

Senior Jordan Schupan has paced the Icecats so far this season with 13 points. The Icecats will take on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, this weekend in a two game series.
Icecats prepare for final road trip By Daniel Gaona ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona caps its season-opening, sevengame road trip this weekend when it takes on University of Nevada, Las Vegas, for a two-game series. The Icecats opened up the season with two losses to ASU. then they traveled to Ohio for the American Collegiate Hockey Association Showcase where they went 2-1. However, the team had an eight-day stretch off the ice after its 8-3 win over No. 19 West Chester on Oct. 10. UNLV is currently 3-0 but hasn’t had a game since Oct. 1. The Rebels average 4.3 goals so far this season and have only given up 2.3. Last year the Icecats lost both games in Las Vegas by a combined score of 15-6 but won 6-3 when the Rebels came to Tucson. “We’re looking forward to getting back on the ice,” said senior co-captain Jordan Schupan. “We didn’t have a very good showing, and I’m excited to get back up there because of the new team dynamic.” “We have a lot more to offer this year. We’re excited about a lot of the new guys, and the returning guys have been stepping up, too,” he added. Schupan feels the team can win both games this weekend. “Our offense right now is really clicking,
so if we can keep that going we should be able to come out with two ‘Ws,’” he said. Head coach Leo Golembiewski said it’s essential to get the most out of the ice time to get the feel back for the skill factors. “You can’t become a better shooter unless you shoot and you can’t become a better skater unless you skate,” he said. “These three days are important because UNLV is a tough team, usually an older club and very hard to beat in their barn.” The players still kept in shape in their time off the ice and also spent extra time with academics. Golembiewski added that it gave the team extra time to recover from standard bumps and bruises. “We do go the gym together but in different groups because of time constraints with school,” Schupan said. “We definitely do a lot of cardio and light lifting to keep in shape.” Golembiewski made a couple of adaptations to the front lines in their last game. The first one is Schupan anchoring sophomores Scott Willson and Jared Lowell. The second is freshman Andrew Murmes centering for junior Blake Richards and sophomore Brian Slugocki. “We’ve mixed up the lines a little bit, and we’re finding some combos that work,” Schupan said. “It’s early in the year, and if ICECATS, page 15

elite talent of Stanford. “To play against teams like this is fun and exciting because it gives our team a natural incentive to do well. Besides just being in our conference, they get to play Stanford who is the number one team in the country right now,” Oyen said. “It’s a huge motivator to play well against the best. Our players
come to the UA to play in the Pac-10. They come because they want to play with and against the best players in the country.” Tactically, the Wildcats made minor adjustments from last weekend’s match, feeling that they played the kind of game that was good enough to walk away with a win. Whether the loss to rival
ASU will deflate or light a fire in the team will be something to watch as the Wildcats play this weekend. “Are we going to come out frustrated because we didn’t get a win last week, or are we going to come out fired up because we didn’t get a win? I think it will be the latter,” Oyen said.

Golf back after break ’Cats still searching for consistency By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After taking last weekend off, the Arizona men’s golf team will be back in action this weekend as it looks to rebound at the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational in Orlando, Fla. after a disappointing tournament at the William H. Tucker Invitational. The tournament will start Saturday and continue until Monday. Texas Tech hosts the Isleworth Invitational, which head coach Rick LaRose considers “the biggest tournament of the fall.” There will be 15 Division I teams in total in this tournament, and it will be a challenge for the Wildcats, who have been struggling so far. The team has had trouble with consistency this year, especially finding a fourth and fifth starter to fill the rotation. “As much as it is a team game when we are out there, we have no one to lean on as far as that goes,” said the team’s No. 1 golfer, senior Tarquin MacManus. “When we get out on the course we have to play our own game, and I’m not in any position to control how the other guys play.” MacManus has been active during the break between the team’s last tournament since he participated in The Asian Amateur Championship. He was invited to be a part of the Australian delegation because he is from
Queensland, Australia. “The winner got an exemption to the Masters, and he got second,” LaRose said. “He played great, shot 10-under par. It is keeping him sharp because right now, playing here is a little tough because of the conditions.”
Women back in action
The Arizona women’s team has been out of action since Sept 28, but the No. 11 Lady Wildcats will be heading to Sin City to compete in the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown. The tournament starts Monday and continues until Wednesday and gives UA a chance to refine its skills. The women have been very successful this season but were not happy with their finish at the Golfweek Conference Challenge, where they finished in second place. “Well with going to Japan our first week of class, these three weeks off gave the girls a good opportunity to get caught up on their school work,” said women’s head coach Laura Ianello. Ianello also believes that there is over seeding going on around golf courses in southern Arizona, but she was able to see the positive side of the situation. “A lot of golf courses are changing from Bermuda to Bentass,” Ianello said. “A lot of facilities aren’t in the best of conditions. But honestly I think it’s good because it gets the team to play in different conditions.”

The Wildcats are down without Nick Foles — ranked second nationally in completion percentage (75.3) — but they certainly aren’t out. Matt Scott is the man now, and UA can count on him. That’s what backups are for. Like The Situation winging for Pauly D. Or Napoleon voting for Pedro. Or Robin distracting villains while Batman looked badass. Or Odie getting lasagna for Garfield. Wait, those are the worst backups ever. Screw it. Arizona wins away.
Throughout my years at Arizona all I wanted to see was a brutally efficient passing machine, and now I come back only to be treated to a helping of Matt Scott with a side of Keola Antolin. But Washington’s defense is bad enough that the Wildcats would be able to score even if they put Kris Heavner back behind center, which never was a pretty sight. The Wildcats need Foles to heal quickly to have any chance at the special season we thought they were headed for, but the adrenaline rush of Homecoming will be enough to knock off the Huskies.
Despite Arizona’s fast start, the popular sentiment seems to be that Washington is going to come into Tucson and ruin the Wildcats’ chances at a Homecoming win. Without Nick Foles, the Wildcats will be hard-pressed to put up staggering offensive numbers like they’ve done all season, but as long as Matt Scott doesn’t take a page out of Jake Locker’s playbook — specifically the 4-for-20 performance against Nebraska — I like the Wildcats at home. And let’s be real. Unless Scott starts taking advice from Brett Favre via text message the night before in his hotel room, he should be able to avoid a total quarterback meltdown on and off the field.

Missouri vs. Oklahoma
The Sooners were a team that lost a lot after last season but somehow remained atop the preseason predictions. Now as one of the only teams left to sport an unblemished record, they face a tough Big 12 foe in Missouri, another team who has yet to suffer a loss this season. You have to go with Oklahoma in this one based solely on depth. If the Sooners’ middle linebacker comes out of the game, they can bring in that woman — I think? — from the dance team who has a more distinct, manly jaw line than Jay Leno. That woman — again, I think? — would make Brian Bosworth cry.

Call it the curse of being No. 1. Two weeks ago the nation’s most talented team (Alabama) went on the road and was throttled by South Carolina. Last week Ari’s poor Ohio State Buckeyes ran into a buzz saw in Madison, Wisc. This week the No. 1 team in the first official BCS standings will fall victim to a very good Mizzou team that’s undefeated itself. The Sooners won’t be the last No. 1 to fall either as I like USC to take down Oregon next week. Isn’t it about time for a BCS playoff system?
Spotlight on newcomers Perry, Bejarano and Mayes
placed an emphasis on team defense, with mostly drill work preaching defense. According to the NCAA website the Wildcats ranked 264th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 72 points a game last season. “We’re building our team defense. There is a lot of that going,” Miller said. “We want to improve our two point field goal defense. That’s our focus.” “A lot of it has to do with playing with great effort, getting used to playing with that effort all the time,” he added. “We want to get to the point when we start our season we’re prepared for anything that our opponent does.” Overall, the Wildcats should improve on defense now that players know what the coaches expect of them defensively, entering the second year in the Miller era.
“In relationships period, it’s difficult to trust people that you barely know,” Miller said. “We’ve going through 18 months now, so it’s easy for everybody to be on the same page.” Miller comes into this season with a much deeper roster, so the freshman won’t be relied upon as much as last year’s incoming class, when Miller routinely started and rotated four freshmen. “A year ago I didn’t know if Derrick Williams was going to play five minutes or 20 minutes,” Miller said. “I never could’ve guessed he would be the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, but he evolved and improved. “Jordin Mayes, Jesse Perry and Daniel Bejarano will go through that same transformation, except it’s not dire straits whether they do it or not,” he added. “We have a number of guys in place.”
What to look for during scrimmage
New Additions The newcomers will get their first chance to show the McKale Center crowd who they are. Everyone will see if Jesse Perry, Daniel Bejarano and Jordin Mayes are really the players that recruiting websites hyped them up to be. How athletic is Jesse Perry? Can Jordin Mayes shoot the ball? Does Daniel Bejarano have to potential to be another great Phoenix-area Wildcat? Momo era Nic Wise is over in Germany playing point guard, so that means the “Point guard U” throne belongs to Momo Jones. Last season Jones struggled to adjust to college basketball early but came around in the second half of the season. This year the keys are his, and Sunday will be his first chance to show he can handle it.

they’re a good team,” said senior setter Paige Weber. “They’re good volleyball players. They don’t really have to do anything flashy. They just play the same way that they’ve played since I’ve been here.” “You have to understand that they’re a good team with good players, and they’re not going to fold easy,” Weber added. Washington will also provide a challenge that Arizona hasn’t seen much of this year: top-spin serving. “We’re going to have to come out in our servereceive and be ready to battle that,” said junior Courtney Karst. “Some people think that topspin is one of the easier serves to pass, but with Washington they’ve always top-spin served, so it’s always a lot harder for us because they serve at a really high velocity.” Even though Washington State (6-11, 0-7) is winless in Pac-10 play, Rubio knows that going into Pullman isn’t going to be a cakewalk. “They’ve got some legit players on their team,” Rubio said. “We haven’t beaten them up there in Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat a while.

we’re starting to click, now we’ll just continue to improve on that.” Golembiewski also said that they are establishing a third line that can score. He emphasized that that it can’t just be a “chucking line.” The third line is currently sophomore Sean Sullivan centering freshman Eric Watters and sophomore Michael Babyak. Scoring goals hasn’t been a problem for the Icecats, especially in the last two games in which they scored eight in each. Their season average stands at 5.4. Slugocki leads the team in goals with seven. He also has three assists. Murmes leads the team with 14 points despite a slow start that he was disappointed in. He’s scored six goals and registered eight
assists. Schupan is just behind him with 13 points on four goals and nine assists. “I showed up to Ohio, and I just wanted to prove myself,” Murmes said. “There was great line support in the last game. It was nothing individual. We were finding each other and creating opportunities.” Murmes also said that the defensemen have done a good job getting the puck up to the forwards. He expects the offense to stay strong in Las Vegas and knows the goal is to win both games. “We have an offense with three strong lines — two I think can score every time they are on the ice, and the third one most likely could do the same,” Murmes said. “We’ve got some good puck-moving defensemen too.”

Depth is key for W-hoops
F2F.health.arizona.edu
By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Last year’s Arizona women’s basketball team saw only six players log over 12 minutes per game, but head coach Niya Butts expects that to change in the 2010-2011 season. “Last year, it was depth,” Butts said. “It wasn’t necessarily the effort, or lack thereof. We ran out of gas a lot. I think with the new additions to our team, our returners are going to feel like they can go out there and really give everything they have.” During games isn’t the only place where a lack of depth shows up. It affects how hard a team can practice and can even limit the types of drills being run. “We can do a lot more drills now that we have more people,” said sophomore guard Davellyn Whyte. “Last year, we didn’t even have enough people to do simple drills. Now we can do them faster, and the depth gives us more competition in practice.” Competition is something that a team, especially one as young as Arizona, can never get enough of. It challenges players to rise to the occasion every day in practice, which leads to them being more prepared in games. “The competition level is off the charts because we have people competing at every position,” Butts said. “They bring that fire and that energy, and they’re challenging each other. It’s so refreshing for a coach not to have to do that every single second.” That depth, and the competition that results from it, has led to practices being run at a much higher pace this season compared to last. “It’s a lot faster this year. Everything is just so much quicker,” said junior guard Reiko
Thomas. “We’re a lot faster because of our conditioning. We’re all pretty fast and athletic, so (practice) just kind of goes with our game.” That speed and athleticism isn’t the only thing contributing to Arizona’s quicker pace this year. Familiarity with how practices are run is also playing a big role. The newfound athleticism on the Wildcats’ roster isn’t something that happened overnight. Butts raved over the speed and athleticism that freshman guard Candice Warthen brings to the table. “We’re more athletic for sure, I think the point guard position is much more athletic,” Butts said. “Especially the point guard position when you think about Candice Warthen, a newcomer, a young kid, but what she can do athletically, we just can’t teach it. You either have that or you don’t.” Another thing that comes with familiarity in a program is more vocal leadership, which is something that senior forward Ify Ibekwe might have been lacking at times during her career at Arizona. “I kind of see myself stepping outside my limits and communicating more,” Ibekwe said. “That helps the team, to have a senior leader talking and being there.” To find an example of how different players have stepped up as leaders for the Wildcats this year, look no further than practice. Players have started policing themselves, which takes the weight of the world off of Butts’ shoulders. A far cry from years past. “Coach isn’t going to see everything we do wrong,” said senior forward Soana Lucet. “We see one of our teammates not touching the line, we’re going to tell them. This is for us. This is for the team.”

Alumni reflect on time at UA, campus changes as they return for Homecoming By Stewart McClintic Daily Wildcat
Many alumni have returned to their alma mater this week to visit the place they once called home. Homecoming is “a chance to become re-acquainted with old friends and see the campus and how it has changed,” said Bill Ruebsamen, a graduate from 1977. “Homecoming wasn’t as meaningful as a student. Reuniting with old friends at Homecoming every few years allows me to pretend I’m young for a weekend.” Alumni who come back for Homecoming range from last year’s graduates to those who graduated more than 50 years ago. “Homecoming is a time when I can reconnect with my roots and college life,” said Sean Mulvey, who
graduated with a degree in finance in May 2010. “It’s very important to be here to see how things have changed, and in what directions life is taking everyone.” Nancy Mills, the 1966 Homecoming queen and a 1968 English graduate said that, for her, Homecoming is about nostalgia. Mills, now a retired psychologist, said she is excited to return to the UA. “It’s nostalgic to think about remembering how it was to walk around campus and see how beautiful was,” she said. Although she said she probably will not see many friends while she returns for this Homecoming, it is fun to see how much everything has changed and how many things are still the same.
“Reuniting with old friends at Homecoming every few years allows me to pretend I’m young for a weekend.” — Bill Ruebsamen Class of 1977
“As we age we hold onto the fond memories in life,” said David Byard, a 1977 graduate. “Our time at the UA was special and set the course for all our adult lives.” Mark Hester never graduated with a degree from the UA, but still feels he is an alumnus nonetheless. He said he failed to graduate because
he had to leave to go work, and said Homecoming was special to him as a student because it was a time to get away during school and to learn how to grow up a bit. Hester is now currently the president of Hester, Heitel and Associates, a commercial insurance firm located in Phoenix. Keith Ballard, a UA and Arizona State University alumnus, was a student at the UA from 1982 to 1983 and graduated from ASU with a Bachelor of Science in 1985. “I remember how much fun I had at the UA,” he said. “I was very irresponsible as an 18-yearold teenager, but through growth I was able to gain both confidence and leadership.” Ballard, now 48 years old, was a winner of the California Teacher of the Year award in 2002 as well as
the Milken United States National Educator in 2003. Mike Myers, who graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science in business administration, said, “Homecoming is not just a party and a football game. It’s about reconnecting with friends, memories and my alma mater.” Myers is now the president of Palio Communications, a global pharmaceutical and consumer advertising marketing and communications agency. “I have rarely missed Homecoming since graduation as it in many ways recharges my batteries, brings back great memories and creates many opportunities for new ones,” he said. “I don’t feel old, but being at Homecoming definitely makes me feel young again.”
Frat looks to extend UAPD does not streak in float contest expect increases
in weekend crime
Theta Tau, winner of the last 12, matches up in annual campus clash
By Kyle Mittan Daily Wildcat
By Alexandra Bortnik Daily Wildcat
The approach of the UA’s 2011 Red, Blue and Bold Homecoming has kept campus fraternities laboring over their floats, placing finishing touches and preparing them for Saturday’s parade. In the hopes of extending its 12-year winning streak, the UA’s engineering fraternity, Theta Tau, has been building its float for three weeks, according to Parker Imperl, an engineering management senior and vice regent of Theta Tau. Imperl said they took the main concept from last year’s float and incorporated it as a part of this year’s. “We’re having a gigantic rocket fly over Old Main … We’re taking a big idea and putting it on the back burner and just using it as a supporting feature,” Imperl said. “I think that shows we’re confident that it’s going to trump everything that we’ve done before, maybe not everybody else, but what we’ve done and we only really work to improve on ourselves.” Imperl said this year’s float will be made mostly from wood, cardboard and recycled materials from previous floats. Since the creation of Theta Tau’s sustainability committee three years ago, the fraternity has been dismantling its entire float after Homecoming and recycling and reusing whatever it can. “There was a tradition in the past to destroy (the float) … then we said why are we wasting all these materials? So we started saving them and storing them at our house,” Imperl said. David Badger, a civil engineering senior and member of Theta Tau, said he plans to wear red body paint and lead the float down the UA Mall. “Homecoming is the most exciting time of the year,” Badger said. “It’s really where you can show all your school spirit. I’m

screaming at the top of my lungs out there and leading the parade and our float.” The Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s float, being built by the Freshman Class Council, has been in the works for the past several weeks, according to Valerie Hanna, a political science freshman and a member of the council. “It’s definitely going to be pretty theatrical, but also incorporate a lot of U of A traditions because that’s what the student government of the UA is all about,” Hanna said. Hanna said she’s heard Theta Tau “is the one to beat,” but is
confident in ASUA’s efforts. “We feel like our idea will give them a run for their money,” she said. “We’re going to try our best to execute as well as we can.” The Pi Kappa Phi fraternity’s goal for this Homecoming is to boost the morale of the UA’s football team, according to fraternity member Parker Stewart, an economics freshman. Stewart said the float will include a football helmet and goal posts. “We’re just having a lot of fun out there. We’re all really excited for the parade and for homecoming,” Hanna said. “It’s just awesome to finally be a part of all the traditions here at the UA.”
UAPD and the UA Alumni Association said they aren’t worried about reckless behavior during Homecoming, despite doubts from students. This year’s Homecoming festivities began Thursday, and features more than 50 events across four days, including a parade, a number of reunions and the UA’s football matchup against the University of Utah on Saturday. With such a large number of people occupying the UA Mall at one time, some may expect security difficulties, but event promoters and UAPD said they aren’t concerned. “Typically what we try and address is disruptive behavior, anything that’s going to distract visitors and patrons from enjoying the game,” said Juan Alvarez, UAPD’s public information officer. “But typically that’s something we deal with at any football game, so it’s not something that’s just particular of Homecoming.” According to Alvarez, the department will also be employing several off-duty officers in addition to the regular number to help coordinate traffic routes during the parade that will travel down the Mall on Saturday. Much of the 2011 Homecoming presentation is being directed by the UA Alumni Association, which will run a tight schedule during the fourday celebration. “We come up with a minute-byminute schedule for everything that’s happening on the Mall that is part of the Alumni Association Homecoming program,” said Melinda Burke, president and executive director of the association. Burke said this schedule not only keeps Homecoming events running smoothly, but also plays a major role in ensuring everyone’s safety. Collaboration between the UA Alumni Association and UAPD relies on this plan, and, according to Burke, communication between the two departments is flawless. “They (UAPD) are pretty incredible,” Burke added. “If we need
directions or if we have questions, we don’t wait until Homecoming day to ask UAPD about an issue, and they’ve been very good at talking with us about potential issues.” The UA Alumni Association is also prepared to hire more security if extra security guards are needed. Much of the security will concentrate on monitoring the tents on the Mall, especially those serving alcohol. Despite the confidence of Homecoming’s promoters, some students on campus aren’t so sure that everything will be as easy to manage as they claim, especially once alcohol is served. “I’m sure if there’s alcohol involved, then there will be something,” said Maura Jensen, a senior studying retailing and consumer science. “I always read stuff in the (Daily) Wildcat about like arrests at the dorms and stuff like that, so I’m sure there will be something if there’s underage people.” Lilian Hautemulle, a chemistry senior, also said there might be issues, but because of the crowd itself. “You have a lot more energy going into a system, so, yeah, there’s a lot more likelihood that something’s going to go wrong,” Hautemulle said. “More people, more partying. I wouldn’t say it’s assumed. It would be natural, though.” On the other hand, not everyone has such doubts about UAPD’s efforts to keep everything under control. “I haven’t noticed anything crazy happening on campus whenever I’ve been around,” said Andrew VanSchoiack, a chemistry graduate student. “It’s not really going to be a big deal.” The primary message from UAPD to Homecoming’s patrons is to enjoy the weekend. “We’d like to ask the people that come here to make sure they have a good time, but be aware of your behavior and how it affects the people around you,” Alvarez said. “We want everyone to come here and have a good time, so when they do leave the University of Arizona, they come away with a good experience.”

the return of Sibley’s return marks 15th year portraying Arizona mascot
wilbur
By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat
For Kirk Sibley, Homecoming isn’t just a chance for him to come back and watch his alma mater play football — it’s a chance for him to relive the greatest years of his life. Starting in 1996, Sibley was Wilbur T. Wildcat. Ever since his graduation in 1999, he has returned to reclaim his role as the beloved mascot at every Homecoming for a record 15 years. “For me that’s just what I look forward to every year,” he said. “That day where I can just get out there and put the costume on and get the crowd going again.” Sibley grew up in Tucson. He said he wanted to attend the UA for his whole life, but financial restraints kept him away from the UA after he finished high school. Eventually he decided he couldn’t bear the wait any longer and became a Wildcat, both metaphorically and physically.

Kirk Sibley, who returns to the UA for his 15th Homecoming appearance on Saturday, began portraying Wilbur Wildcat in 1996.
And the bond that was created by fulfilling his dream has never disappeared. “Just because I graduated (my
A3
attachment) wasn’t going away,” Sibley said. “I wasn’t feeling like I wanted to sever ties. It still was and is a really special place for me.”
In his post-Wilbur years, Sibley has stayed connected by volunteering as the videographer for the Pride of Arizona marching band. He records its rehearsals and shows, and even went to band camp the last two years. To him, the marching band has always been special, especially since he was a band member his freshman year. He said that he enjoys being referred to as “The UA’s Band Mascot” and even still cries when he hears it play “Bear Down.” The extensive time and energy he contributes is purely on a volunteer basis. Sibley works full time for Intel Corp. in Chandler, yet the hour-long drive to Tucson has never deterred him from donating his time to the school he loves. Last year, Sibley made a 45-minute DVD for the band using more than 130 hours of footage that he recorded. Sibley also contributed most of the footage used in the Pride of Arizona’s introductory video that is shown before every football game. “I probably got a little mistyeyed when I saw that footage up there,” he said about seeing the video on Arizona Stadium’s
new video board. “And not just because it was my footage, but just because I was able to still be able to do something that contributes to the school and the program.” The UA left a lasting impact on Sibley, but it’s not a one-way street. Since he put on the furry head of Wilbur, things have never been the same. Sibley began the tradition of the shirt-lift in 1998, a skit that is still done today. He also brought back the tradition in which graduating Wilburs sign the wall inside the changing room, leaving a lasting impression of the work each student contributed. Even though this is his 15th Homecoming game, Sibley sees no end in sight for his days as Wilbur. He only wants to stop if he is physically unable to or it is no longer fun, and neither of those scenarios has happened yet, he said. For Sibley, he just loves being on the field with the band and entertaining the crowd for one game each year. “It’s just a complete thrill,” Sibley said.

game Homecoming contest doesn’t stand out for Arizona players By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat
While most of the attention that the football team receives during Homecoming has to do with its performance on the field, the Wildcats are looking forward to what comes off of the gridiron. A number of ex-Wildcats make it back to Tucson each year for Homecoming. That’s what has quarterback Nick Foles most excited about this year’s festivities. Still, it’s just another football game, as Arizona looks to keep its slim bowl hopes alive with a win against Utah on Saturday. “This is just another chance to see them, so it’ll be fun to catch up and see how they’re doing,” Foles said. “To see some of the ex-players that I played with when I first got here will be pretty neat.” Many players that are now playing in the NFL make it back to the Old Pueblo for workouts during the summer, something that Foles said can make up for their inability to come back for the Homecoming game. “A lot of the guys that are in the league, I know they’re busy,” Foles said. “So I doubt all of them will make it back. But it’ll be fun to see who comes back and to catch up with those guys after the game.” But while Foles and several other players look forward to seeing old teammates, cornerback Trevin Wade said that he doesn’t understand the excitement surrounding Homecoming weekend every year. “I never get the feeling,” Wade said. “I don’t understand it. I just go out there and play.” Wade said that while he doesn’t get caught up in the Homecoming festivities, he’s happy to see former players make it back whenever possible. “It’s pretty cool, but I only really talk to a few of them,” Wade continued. “It was cool seeing (Rob) Gronkowski a couple of weeks back. We talk all the
time, so that was cool seeing him.” But while seniors Foles and Wade have learned to block out some of the extra attention that comes with Homecoming every year, freshman running back Ka’Deem Carey said that he’s looking forward to his first homecoming at Arizona, even though he’s from the Tucson area. “I just get to play here and play in this stadium,” sad Carey, a Canyon del Oro High School graduate. “It’s just a fun atmosphere, but I feel like every game is a Homecoming.”

Calculations require caution Critics say financial aid net price calculator skews cost of attendance By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT
The UA has created a net price calculator to help applicants estimate the amount of need-based aid they could receive, but its accuracy in determining true cost of attendance is questionable. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid posted the new calculator to comply
with a federal mandate that went into effect on Saturday. Colleges and universities all over the country must have some form of a net price calculator designed to estimate net loans, grants and cost of attendance. Although the calculator is a “step in the right direction,” according to Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of finaid.org and author of “Secrets to Winning a Scholarship,” it should be used as a “ball park estimate that may not be all that accurate.” The data used in the UA’s calculator is 2 years old, Kantrowitz said, because
the information used was gathered in December, while the financial aid budget for the fall semester was created the spring before. This poses a problem when comparing the UA to other colleges, he said, who may have created their own custom calculators using different data. “You’re going to have results that aren’t really comparable,” Kantrowitz added. The definition of net price is also flawed, he said, because the average grant sum used in the calculators is specific to firstyear, full-time students, not transfer or

Special Collections receives set of Humane Borders archives WORTH NOTING

The UA Library Special Collections department has obtained archives from Humane Borders, a nonprofit, Tucson-based organization dedicated to minimizing migrant deaths. Founded in June 2000, Humane Borders has focused primarily on installing and maintaining emergency water stations throughout areas
along the U.S.-Mexico border known to be heavily traveled by migrants, in an attempt to “create a safe and death-free border environment,” according to the mission statement at HumaneBorders.org. The organization’s philanthropy has resulted in heavy political criticism from commentators like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. Humane Borders’ original founder Robin Hoover said the main goal is to help keep people alive.
“Humane Borders is a humanitarian organization that was created to provide humanitarian assistance to the migrants who are risking their lives coming across the Sonora/Arizona border,” Hoover said. “In order to accomplish that, we created and maintained water stations out in the desert.” Additionally, Hoover, who is no longer involved with Humane Borders on a day-to-day basis, said
the organization collected data regarding how many migrants were dying and where. The data was then used to create maps and warning posters to deter migrants from attempting to cross the border. These maps and posters, along with media and administrative files, Hoover’s own writings and hate mail sent to the organization are all

Climate change leader visits UA Germs abound Stresses importance of research, says field is not a political issue By Kyle Mittan DAILY WILDCAT
A world leader in climate change research visited the UA on Wednesday to present his findings on how humans have impacted global climate change. Ronald Stouffer, an internationally recognized climate scientist, studied the topic for more than 30 years as a federal employee, working for organizations like the Department of Commerce, Princeton University’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Stouffer, who works in
New Jersey, uses climate models to study past, present and future climates. The presentation was co-sponsored by the UA’s Institute of the Environment, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Department of Geosciences. “I’m trying to communicate to the audience what I view is what’s known and not known about climate change and how we know it, and to allow the audience to make their own judgments about what, if anything, should be done about climate change,” Stouffer said. Stouffer chose to come to the UA after being invited by Jianjun Yin and Joellen Russell, two assistant profesWILL FERGUSON / DAILY WILDCAT sors in the geosciences department who both did post-doctoral research Climate change scientist Ronald Stouffer gave a talk about human impact on

on touch screens By Amer Taleb DAILY WILDCAT
That touch screen at the checkout counter is probably dirtier than you think. More than 60 percent of grocery and hardware store touch screens examined in a roughly three-month UA study had fecal bacteria on them. Several were contaminated with E. coli and one contained MRSA, contagious staph bacteria. No one’s ever studied touch screens as mediums for transferring germs from one person to another, said Chuck Gerba, the soil/water and environmental sciences professor
who designed the study. You can pick up between 20 and 30 percent of the germs someone else leaves behind on a hard surface, Gerba said. “ATM machines, mobile phones, iPads … germs are always being transferred to a surface,” he said. “We’re a button-pushing world and your generation, college students, touch more buttons than any generation in history.” College age students touch their faces 16 times per hour, which transfers the germs, Gerba said.

Translator program sees rapid enrollment growth By Alexandra Bortnik Daily Wildcat
Since its launch five years ago, the UA’s translation and interpretation program has grown from 35 to 170 students. The Spanish and Portuguese department’s five-year-long undergraduate program was developed by the National Center for Interpretation through a grant given to the center from the U.S. Department of Education. “The federal government has been looking at this much more closely, recently in the last 10 years or so, and so more and more agencies are recognizing their obligation to provide interpreter services for their clients,” said Paul Gatto, assistant director for the Interpretation Test Research Center. In August 2000, then-President Bill Clinton signed White House Executive Order 13166 requiring that “the Federal Government provides and funds an array of services that can be made accessible to otherwise eligible persons who are not proficient in the English language.” Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also requires institutions that receive federal money to provide equal access to people with limited English proficiency, which Gatto explained as one of the many reasons for the growing demand for qualified translators and interpreters. “The need is great and growing because of federal efforts to enforce civil rights laws that relate to people with limited English proficiency,” Gatto said.
Sonia Colina, a professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said the program is developing an online certification process, which will cater to working professionals and undergraduates who want to continue their education in translation and interpretation. “For people who are older, or professionals that might be working part-time or fulltime, those people see sometimes that they can’t go back to school but they need to get some kind of formal training,” Colina said. “Up until very recently in the U.S. we didn’t really have much formal training in translation and interpretation.” With the increasing number of accredited translators and interpreters, businesses and institutions will begin to seek translators and interpreters with higher forms of education in the field, according to Colina. “Recent Department of Labor statistics indicate that the growth of the field is projected to outpace the growth of most fields in the next 20 years,” Gatto said. Translation and interpretation programs are also necessary for Americans born in the U.S. “There a lot of people who are born and raised here who are still limited in their English proficiency, and you can grow up in this country without knowing very much English,” Gatto said. Gatto said the mentality that the United States is an English-speaking country is inconsistent with the legal foundation of the country, and that it wasn’t created with
English as its primary language. “It doesn’t strike me as very American … and it doesn’t strike me as a particularly moral perspective to take,” Gatto said. Colina also stressed the demand for accredited translators in the medical and legal fields where businesses are liable for mistakes in translation. Ramses Rocha, a UA graduate from the Eller College of Management and program coordinator for the National Center for Interpretation, said he’s witnessed the difficulty that a person with limited knowledge in English undergoes in medical and legal settings. “In the legal realm, as well as in the medical, there’s definitely a different language. Being able to communicate in such a language is a matter of life or death,” Rocha said. “The service that we provide to train people who want to interpret and translate is very important, there are people who really need the service.” Rocha said his main goal is to fulfill the center’s mission statement and provide access and justice to people with limited or no knowledge of the English language. The center also contributes to the UA’s obligations as a land grant institution to serve the community, Gatto said. “We really try to make ourselves a resource for the community of interpreters in this country at all levels,” said Eva Morrow, marketing specialist for the center, “and that’s definitely something we like to reinforce.”

“You guys are always sticking your fingers in your face,” he added. Ty Rouzan, a pre-business student, said the nastiest part of the study is the amount of fecal bacteria found on the touch screens. “That’s disgusting, people need to Purell themselves,” he said. “I see people walking out of the bathroom all the time without washing their hands and I’m stuck standing there doing a double take.” The fecal bacteria probably comes from people not cleaning themselves properly after using the bathroom or from handling raw meat products in grocery stores, Gerba said.

included in the archives now held in Special Collections. Assistant librarian and archivist Chrystal Carpenter said the Humane Borders archives fit in well with other Southwestern history resources, a topic that the UA Library Special Collections specializes in. “Special Collections is basically the primary research center for the library on campus,” Carpenter said. “We focus on the Southwest and borderlands specifically, as well as other areas that support the university, so we have a lot of primary research materials — correspondence, photographs, rare books — anything that’s unique and one-of-a-kind that’s in the library system is here in Special Collections, and Humane Borders is one of those types of things.” According to Carpenter, preserving the materials is an important step toward ensuring the information is available to future generations. “By preserving them (the documents) and keeping them safe for posterity, it allows researchers now and into the future to be able to actively study this material, and be able to promote scholarship and preserve the knowledge,” she added. Hoover also said having access to the archives will allow people in many fields to continue researching U.S. border relations. “There will be major histories written about this,” he said. “There already have been books, movies, Ph.D. dissertations, documentaries and thousands of print articles … about this. By putting these in the archives, we’re making them available to historians, students, filmmakers and documentarians to use from now on because this story is far from being over.” From a university perspective, Carpenter said that having the archives complements the library’s already-notable collection, which includes pieces from the 1800s, documents signed by former President Abraham Lincoln and transcripts of interviews with people who directly knew Adolf Hitler. “I think that it (having the Humane Borders materials) fosters the goals of the university in building scholarship and research, and building community relations,” Carpenter added. “It definitely fulfills the mission of the university to do so.”
checkout and check-in touch screens are probably the dirtiest on campus. Because they’re used so often, it’s impossible for the library staff to keep up with cleaning them, he said. The library custodial staff cleans the express checkout and check-in machines daily, said Robyn Huff-Eibl, team leader for access and information services for the UA libraries. There are also Purell instant hand sanitizer stands at all of the library public service desks for anyone to use, she said. Carol Underwood, a dining services attendant lead at On Deck Deli, said employees make a point of wiping down the cashier’s touch screen and that she washes her hands frequently. Deandra J. Roberts, a graduate student studying higher education
administration, said the study’s results were gross, but not surprising considering how often touch screens are used. “And it makes me think twice about using kiosks,” she said. “If everyone did their part and washed their hands, society would be healthier and a lot better off.” Since it’s not practical to wipe down a touch screen every five minutes, Gerba recommended people use hand sanitizer and wash their hands frequently. “We don’t want to make people paranoid about germs. We’re trying to raise awareness about good hand hygiene and where it’s important to disinfect,” he said. “The idea is to keep the odds in your favor, not the germs. The solution is in your hands.”

part-time students. Additionally, Kantrowitz said the calculator is geared toward grant recipients instead of the general student, which could be problematic if a potential student uses the calculator and is unsure if they will receive a grant. “This could understate the cost by thousands of dollars,” he said. While some are wary of the calculator, others like John Nametz, director of student financial aid at the UA, maintain it is “exactly accurate for what it does.” Nametz explained that the calculator looks at the median of the user’s information, which can becompared with the medians at other schools, he said, and is more accurate than using a simple average. There are a few factors the UA’s calculator does not take into account, he said. Nametz explained that it does not embed scholarship money given after the admissions process, does not consider class and department competitiveness and cannot predict changes in a student’s life that could change the amount of financial aid awarded. His office makes about 4,000 adjustments in student financial aid per year, he said, for many reasons, including a change in a parent’s income or an increase in a student’s medical expenses. “There’s no calculator that can deal with that,” he said. “There’s no way we can make it as accurate as we would like … but students still benefit from it. It does take certain things into account.” Some student groups applauded the UA’s efforts to focus on the total cost of attendance rather than tuition alone. “Tuition is not the only cost students incur, we need to look at total affordability of higher education,” said Dan Fitzgibbon, board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association. Although the calculator can help future students “roughly plan” the cost of attending the UA, he said, it does not factor in tuition increases. Fitzgibbon put in what his information would have looked like during his incoming freshman year, and the calculator gave him a net price of about $6,000, which he said is “no longer the case.” “There is no predictability in the way we see costs increase,” he said. “Our (ASA’s) biggest priority is to ensure that projected aid is as high as possible.” James Allen, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said the calculator gives students a good idea of what their cost of attendance could be. But due to the calculator’s “vagueness” and “lack of detail,” he said, it runs the risk of not being entirely accurate because it could become outdated from tuition and fee hikes. He said information like a student’s high

school grade point average could be helpful, because the calculator could then factor in additional funding sources like merit-based scholarships. “It’s an excellent starting point, and an improvement because we didn’t have this in the past,” Allen said. “If you’re taking out a loan, for example, it’s serious. You need to be able to gauge the total cost of what you’re paying.” The UA will keep its calculator in its current form for now, but different pieces may be added to it as situations like state policy change, Nametz said. “The calculators are suffering teething pains, and it could take a few years before Congress updates the statute after seeing the first year’s usage,” Kantrowitz added. “They will eventually be a very good tool to help families understand affordability.”

Gingers do have souls Ashley Reid Daily Wildcat
L
ast weekend, notoriously noted as “Halloweekend,” I couldn’t help but notice a trend in costumes. Alongside the slew of police officer costumes and animal ears paired with sleazy apparel, were plenty of “gingers.” People actually painted their hair an unsettling color of red, paled out their faces and ornamented themselves with brown marker freckles. I’ve never really analyzed this stereotype, but I kept seeing these creepy photos pop up online. What on earth is up with people’s fixation of hating on redheads? Perhaps I’m the only one who doesn’t understand what the deal is with this ginger stereotype. The ginger stereotype has been prominent for centuries. In medieval times, redheads were thought to be emblems of sexual desire — but not in a good way. It was more of a homewrecker stereotype. It was also noted that red-haired people had temper problems and fiery personalities. In some cultures, people believed that people with red hair and green eyes were witches. The stereotype softened in Elizabethan times in England, only because the queen herself was a ginger. Red hair swiftly became fashionable, and it was portrayed in various paintings and artworks. However, the modern stereotype of red-haired people is different. Gingers are yet again mocked — we’ve all heard the whole “gingers don’t have a soul” phenomena. Now I’ll be honest, I don’t know anyone who literally hates gingers. I do know a huge portion of my acquaintances constantly mock them and always makes the excuse “It’s because they’re a ginger.” Someone enlighten me how your hair color contributes to your personality flaws. Last time I checked, the genetics that define complexion doesn’t factor into one’s character traits. I could be wrong here, but I’m sure that the hue of your hair is not directly linked to your soul. Gingers are becoming the new dumb blondes of this generation. This is nothing more than society’s passive aggressive attempt to single out a minority with different aesthetic attributes than the norm. You no doubt hear this ginger reference constantly, yet you’ll hardly hear someone point out how ridiculous this whole stereotype is. Everyone seems to just go with it, rather than trump up an answer for why. Of course, nobody wants to be “that guy” who stands up for the underdog, and typically when these references are used, it’s in a totally joking way. Perhaps you might say, it’s better for people to stereotype and mock because of something silly like hair color, rather than marginalizing someone for their skin color. Is it really any better to make fun of someone’s hair color instead of their skin color? They’re both uncontrollable physical features. Even still, the large part of people mocking gingers are in fact making fun of their skin complexion as well, so really you can’t say they’re not mocking them for their skin color too. It’s essentially the same thing: taking physical appearances and directly attributing them to a reason to be disliked and mocked. This fixation on making fun of gingers needs to fade away. — Ashley Reid is a journalism sophomore. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.
Pulse of the Pac
This past week we talked about recognizing the fall season in Tucson, KY jelly marketing to lesbian couples and the influence of Greek Life on ASUA.

Although the GERs (general education requirements) fall under criticism, the theory underlying their existence — that values a liberal education, or an education involving study in all the major subfields — is sound. Although a liberal education might once have been valued for the purpose of educating the future elite in upper-class social norms, such as an understanding of Greek, in the 21st Century a more practical justification is in order. There are at least two such justifications. One is that, in exposing all students to a wide range of fields, requiring a liberal education can help students find new intellectual passions. Given that many Stanford students ultimately major in something completely different from what they originally intended, this benefit cannot be ignored. However, we must also justify the liberal education for those students who are completely certain of their major and future career. A common question asked by critiques of a liberal education goes something like this: Why should an English major, dead set on writing for a living, need to take classes in math, science and engineering? … We are entering a workforce and society where having knowledge in just one field will not suffice. The National Academy of Engineering, for instance, recognizes the importance of a liberal education … In an increasingly technology-dependent world, it is important that those majoring in the humanities and social sciences have college-level exposure to math, science and engineering if their major does not already require it.
The Occupy movement seemed to start out strong. Over in New York, it had a solid mission statement and passionate people, the key to any productive protest. I understood what they argued for, and thought, “Yeah, OK, I can see what they’re upset about.” And then the media got a hold of it, as did the bandwagon hoppers…The movement turned into the next “cool” thing. I think that people saw the passion and drive of the first Occupiers over at Wall Street and thought, “Hey, if I go over there and do what they’re doing, maybe I could be as passionate as them.” Wrong. Others thought, “My cause needs that much attention too, so I’ll just head over and get my signs in the way,” which just confused viewers even more. So congratulations, America. You have messed it up. You took a thing that was really trying to make a difference and made it into your own banana stand. I don’t think anything can be done anymore. I think that the idea has gotten so muddled up that there cannot be any recovery. The Occupy movement has turned into more of a fad than anything, leading the rest of the public to see occupiers as second graders petitioning to get longer lunch periods.
The debate regarding the legalization of prostitution is a complex one. Sex is a socially sensitive issue and a private matter, so when debates start about the legalization of the solicitation of sex, things are bound to get heated … The problem with this discussion is that both arguments are based on an existing and continuing patriarchal, economically unequal, violent society that doesn’t allow for complete freedom and choice. Now, I realize there are male prostitutes, and not all sexual abuse is directed at women by men. However, in a majority of cases, it is men that sexually abuse women and children (85 percent of domestic violence victims are women according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence), and a large majority of prostitutes are women. My analysis of the issue is largely based on those generalities … When people discuss the right to choose to pay for sex, it seems like they ignore the woman’s right to choose to have sex in exchange for payment. Obviously by participating, the prostitute is making a decision, and in that sense, it is their choice … I’m sure there are prostitutes who choose this lifestyle freely and enjoy their work, this just isn’t the case the majority of the time. But to effectively debate the legalization — “Occupy movement should change of prostitution, we must discuss the many approach” by Branden Andersen social problems that often force women into prostitution: poverty, sexual violence, childhood abuse and coercion. — “Considering the legalization of prostitution” by Sean Tipton

Tucson Fiction Project presents “2m, 2f: A Perfectly Ordinary Evening of Theatre” tonight and Saturday in Room 100 of the Social Sciences building at 7 p.m. All of the one-act plays are written, produced and performed by students.

Daily Wildcat
m, 2f: A Perfectly Ordinary Evening of Theatre” will turn out to be a not so ordinary evening.
With hallucinating characters, dramatic love affairs, and even a play done backwards, these comical one-acts will leave the audience simultaneously entertained and intrigued. “They are complex, interesting and very impressive for being short one-acts,” said Arielle Cardona, a junior studying creative writing and communication who stars in the plays. “They make you question your life choices and makes you learn, but only if you let yourself,” Cardona said. Tucson Fiction Project, a student club created last school year, will showcase these three brand-new, never-beforeseen one-acts written, produced and performed by students. Club creators Michael Weingartner, a junior studying creative writing, molecular and cellular biology, and ecology and evolutionary biology, and media arts major Logan Smith will show students just how far their creativity can take them. Free for everyone, each 20-minute one-act was written by Weingartner at a different point in his life, but after putting them together, he realizes they are all related. A Q&A forum will follow the performance each night. The panel of directors, playwright, and performers hopes to generate discussion about the process of the play and production
development as well as hear feedback about the plays. Weingartner also hopes the Q&A will lead other students to produce their own productions and screenplays through the Tucson Fiction Project club. The club is dedicated to student actors, filmmakers, producers, writers, musicians and creative minds alike and is about taking ideas and getting them produced and published in any way possible. “It’s all about getting writers together and creating new work,” he said. Weingartner said he was told by the student provost and film and theater department when he first discussed the start of Tucson Fiction Project that “no one has ever done something like this.” Weingartner and Smith hope the Tucson Fiction Project, supported mainly by the Honors College, will inspire more playwrights, directors, and actors and prove that a there is a vehicle to showcase what they have created. “In a real sense, this project stands for the fact that it doesn’t take the resources of an entire department or theater company. It’s a small way of doing something big,” Weingartner said. For Smith, “it’s all about making theater instead of doing theater.” Students can’t just be creative, they need to actually create. Just because you
can’t find a club with your interests or the school doesn’t provide anything for you, doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Be a trailblazer and others will join, Smith said. “There is no excuse,” he said. “Get involved. If you love it, go do it.”
Whitney Wilkening, founder of a successful highend costume jewelry company, proves that with determination, a business strategy and UA spirit, anything is possible. Wilkening’s company, Bling by Wilkening, was created in 2007 with the help of professors. As a retailing and consumer sciences major, Wilkening used her knowledge to develop a company based on outstanding quality, great price and charity. “It was really exciting to put into practice what I learned every day in class and now I’m doing it full time,” Wilkening said. The New York-based Bling by Wilkening is featured in the glass case in the UofA Bookstore and has graced the covers of Tucson Bride and Groom magazine and Valley Social Luxury Magazine. The company also pairs with showrooms in Brazil, England and New York to showcase fashions three to six months before other shows. The popular, semiprecious jewelry, however, is most known for its involvement with Kleinfeld Bridal. Kleinfeld, featured on TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress,” has been carrying Bling by Wilkening pieces since March. Wilkening was invited back to the UA for Homecoming weekend to help raise money for the Future Retail Leaders Scholarship Fund and the Office of Student Affairs Scholarship. “I bleed red and blue as an alumnus and I am really excited to be able to come back and do this,” Wilkening said. The jewelry cases will feature pieces priced from about $29 to $65 with UA student and staff discounts.

The Plays:
“Surreal for Breakfast”: “When a beleaguered housewife suspects her husband of an affair, she brings it up with her own lover, a handsome and charming man who just so happens to look strangely like her husband. Love, marriage, kids and betrayal are all explored in this hilarious absurdist suburban farce.” “Everybody is Blake Hamilton”: “When Kyle is forced to meet his ex-girlfriend’s perfect new boyfriend Blake, things go from bad to worse when, suddenly, every man on the planet begins to look and sound just like Blake Hamilton. Watch Kyle struggle to overcome his past, his insecurities and his mental breakdown in this fast-paced psychological comedy.” “The Backwards Play”: “A romantic comedy told in reverse, this play follows two strange couples as they explore relationships, language, pop culture and just how difficult it can be sometimes to move forward in life.”
Q&A
Where science and creative writing collide By Jazmine Woodberry Daily Wildcat
The editors of the quarterly journal Creative Nonfiction chose two winning essays from a competitive pool of nearly 200 contest submissions — one of them was Chester Phillips’ “Heroes and Consequences: On Masculinity and Redemptive Violence in American Culture.” A tale of his teenage sister’s rape — and his struggle with taking his own revenge in the situation — is a commentary on American culture, particularly regarding men. “From the Old Testament ‘eye for an eye’ to action movies, the scripts had been written out for us to follow,” Phllips’ essay reads. “We started making plans to go after Andy.” After writing the story as a master’s student in creative nonfiction, the doctoral student studying arid land resource sciences urges people to take heart from the message of his essay, and the path he’s chosen for his career. Daily Wildcat: What is the essay about? Chester Phillip: This essay is about a time in my life when I was tempted toward revenge because of family trauma. In American culture, we’re taught, when someone you love is hurt, what are you supposed to do? Go after them. We see it in countless movies, book, all over TV. Again and again, we see the stories and then it’s a revenge story — but in real life, revenge might not be the thing that brings peace or healing.

GAME FREAK
Bottoms up: Enjoying the football game, win or lose positive attitude back to the special teams. So, when Bonano’s kick is good, celebrate with a shot.
Jason Krell DAILY WILDCAT
A
s with everything this week, today’s focus is on Homecoming. There are many games played during this spirited time, but the most important one is the Arizona football game. With so many alumni returning for it and the high volume of students in the ZonaZoo, not everyone can get in. Well, fear not, in lieu of getting to experience the game, there is a way to spice up watching it from home. The method referred to is, of course, a drinking game — because in college, everything is a drinking game, right? This Arizona drinking game is a frequent occurrence during away games among friends, so why not share the joy with everyone? There are the basics, like drinking after every scoring drive, interception or fourth down conversion, but every team needs its special rules. Of course, sadly — for the game, not the team — two of the biggest reasons for Arizona fans to drink are no longer around. Yes, now that Mike Stoops has been replaced with interim head coach Tim Kish, no one can take a shot every time the camera turns to him and he’s angry. So much alcohol will go without being consumed. Then there’s former starting kicker, Alex Zendejas. It used to work that whenever he missed a kick, everyone finished their drink. Now we have John Bonano who makes every PAT and field goal. What a jerk, right? He’s totally killing the buzz.
TIRED OF THE DESERT HEAT? THE DAILY WILDCAT WILL COOL YOU OFF.
Worry not though, fellow Wildcats. There are still plenty of predictable habits which can be used to drink — here they are: Drink every time Kish doesn’t overreact to a penalty call: So this might be confusing, but a bit of an explanation should clear it up. To start, think about what would happen if a penalty was called on Arizona while Stoops was the head coach. Without fail, he would lose his shit and go red in the face. Whether he yelled at the ref or the players, someone received his ire. Kish is more reserved and level headed. He takes the bad calls in stride, and when they’re warranted he just shrugs them off, or so it seems. Regardless, the thing to keep in mind is this: when a penalty is called that would have set Stoops off, but Kish stays cool, take a shot. Use your best judgment, but when in doubt, take one anyway. Couldn’t hurt. Drink every time Bonano makes a kick: For most teams, the kicker making a short range field goal, or even a PAT, is not a momentous occasion. For the Wildcats, however, it’s cause for uproarious celebration. After all, for the past two years, Arizona fans have had to bite their collective nails every time a kick needed to happen. In the past fans adapted and just used the misses as an excuse to drink, but now it’s time to bring that
Drink every time Nick Foles makes an improbable pass: The entire Wildcat fan base should know by now that Foles makes some unbelievable passes. It doesn’t happen every game, but when they do occur, they’re a thing of beauty. So, to treasure the moment, every time Foles makes the play when lesser quarterbacks wouldn’t, drink. For those unsure, this includes events like making a pass while being tackled, throwing the ball with his left hand (he’s a righty) or threading the ball right past multiple defenders. Again, like the Kish rule, use your best judgment. Finish your drink if Arizona wins: Hell, finish two drinks. This one is pretty easy to understand. Arizona’s record is far from stellar, sitting at a measly 2-6. Homecoming games are supposed to be sure things, but the way the team has been playing, don’t be so sure. Utah is a pretty solid team this year, so it could give the Wildcats a run for their money. However, should Arizona pull out the W, go nuts. Not only does it mean further redemption for a team that should be much better than it is, it means the team can still go to a bowl game, which is good. So, in honor of that, shotgun a beer, pound some shots — do whatever feels necessary to make sure this momentous occasion isn’t forgotten. Just be safe, everyone. The team already has enough injuries as it is — it doesn’t need the fans to suffer too. — Jason Krell is a junior studying creative writing and Italian. He can be reached at arts@wildcat.arizona.edu.
wanna play Farmville, I just wanna play for real” shouldn’t be OK. Maybe band members are wisely playing the viral marketing card á la Rebecca Black, or on a more frightening note, they’re being serious. Heart2Heart and its media buzz wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for mass-produced pop hits being churned out by more notable influences. Granted, it takes initial talent to get noticed, but it makes me cringe to think of what brought these guys into Lance Bass’ office, as it sure wasn’t a 12-year-old’s Youtube videos. We need a change. We need to recognize talent by a songwriter’s ability, by their ability to make an arena feel like a club and to make a club feel like a party. We need to keep our thumbs on the pulses of independent labels and back

I’m not going to scream about vinyl, or about recycled paper covers with local artwork, but I’ll say that there needs to be a shift of mindset toward the raw talent in teeth-cutting artistry and away from artists who rely on 30-some songwriters and excessive Pro Tools doctoring to create an album.

hen Casanova toured the UA for the first time in the hopes of getting away from her hometown of Lubbock, Texas, she was immediately impressed by its beauty and spirited atmosphere. “As I came on campus I knew it was the right place for me,” she said. Casanova began in the nursing program, but now she is majoring in psychology. Her minor is in special education and rehabilitation. Throughout her career at the UA, Casanova has participated in various campus organizations including SMORES Sophomore Honorary and Chain Gang Junior Honorary. She is the president of Chi Omega sorority. One of Casanova’s role models is British author J.K Rowling. Casanova said she admires Rowling for her creativity, intelligence and determination. “She is not afraid to be who she is,” Casanova said. “She’s come from nothing and she’s made such a success story.” Once she leaves the UA, Casanova plans to apply to graduate school and pursue a career in occupational therapy.

he Homecoming queen is a symbol of tradition at the UA. This year, 33 applicants competed to be named Arizona’s most spirited, most dedicated, most involved lady Wildcat, said Charlie Spector, queen selection co-chair of the Bobcats Senior Honorary. The honor of representing the UA student body is awarded at the end of nearly a two-month process of nominations, applications and interviews. The Bobcats Senior Honorary is in charge of crowning Homecoming royalty. According to Spector, clubs started nominating candidates in September and Homecoming queen applications were due Oct. 5. Since applying, candidates have been participating in social mixers and going to interviews to help the judges get to know them. The honorary is looking for “someone who can show what the University of Arizona is all about,” Spector said. The first cut was made at 15 candidates. From there, the judges selected the five final candidates who would make up the Homecoming court. Choosing only five nominees was no easy task, Spector said. “It’s hard because all the girls are so qualified,” he said. “We’re just very impressed with those seniors that represent our school.” This week, the final five participated in various Homecoming events like the lighting of “A” Mountain and club olympics. Each candidate campaigned among different UA organizations, hoping to garner support before the elections on Wednesday and Thursday. Votes are in and suspense is mounting as the UA waits for the announcement of this year’s Homecoming royalty at tonight’s bonfire. Which of these seniors will wear the crown?
rowing up, Larson came to Tucson often to visit her grandparents. She fell in love with the warm weather and the sunny UA campus and decided to leave Spokane, Wash., to make the UA her new home. Now, Larson is the president of Gamma Phi Beta sorority and a student employee at UA Mobile. She’s majoring in family studies and human development, and said she hopes to work with families and nonprofit organizations in the future. Soon, Larson will find out if she has been accepted to the Teach For America program, which would allow her to be a teacher for two years and help pay for her master’s degree in education. Larson said she feels honored to be a part of the UA’s Homecoming tradition. “This is the one time of the year when we can have our past, present and future Wildcats together,” she said. For Larson, the Homecoming queen should be “someone who loves Arizona and will continue to have the spirit of the U of A no matter where she ends up.”

with Stouffer at Princeton. “I wrote several papers with Ron (Stouffer) when I was at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton, so we worked together for years,” Russell said. “It’s such a delight, such an honor to have him come out here. He’s one of the top three most cited climate scientists in the world.” According to Russell, Stouffer has been cited more than 20,000 times in articles regarding climate change research. Yin also spoke highly of Stouffer’s work. “Ron is a leading climate scientist over the world,” Yin said. “He published many seminal papers, groundbreaking papers on climate and
climate change, so we are very happy to have him here to … talk about his latest progress in this field.” On a university level, several have said that Stouffer’s visit simply adds to the UA’s reputation as a leading institution in the field of climate change research. Jonathan Overpeck, co-director of the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth, referred to the changes happening everywhere “else in the United States outside of Alaska.” “The University of Arizona’s got a huge commitment to helping society deal with this climate change, and that doesn’t mean telling people what to do, it means understanding the problem, what it means for the future, and coming up with choices for the decision makers,” Overpeck said. “So for us, it’s very important to get the very best people in the world on climate to visit with our people to really bring solutions

awsey left her hometown of Shavertown, Pa., for the UA’s prestigious dance program. “It was between here and a school in Pittsburg, and the school in Pittsburg was a one-building school, it was a conservatory. So, I chose the football team and the school spirit over that one building in Pittsburg,” she said. She is a member of Sigma Kappa sorority and Dancers’ Consortium, a student-run organization that seeks to create community within the dance department. She also dances on the UA’s Pom Line Dance Team. During her junior year, Dawsey served as the UA’s mascot, Wilma Wildcat. Next semester, she will start auditioning for jobs on cruise ships. Her goal is to someday play a Disney princess and travel the world in the entertainment business. Dawsey said her grandmother played a significant role in her life by radiating optimism and maintaining in a passion for living. “I just hope I am like her when I’m older — fun and always happy … I want a lot of people to be a part of my life,” she said. Like many other former Wilma Wildcats, Dawsey hopes to return to the UA next year to support Arizona. “Bleed red and blue,” she said.

lasby is from Scottsdale and has always been a devoted Wildcat, she said. As an elementary education major, Clasby volunteers and takes methods courses at L M Prince Elementary School, where she works with fourth-grade students. Beyond the classroom, Clasby is the president of Alpha Phi sorority and a member of the Order of Omega, a greek leadership honor society. Sigma Chi fraternity chose Clasby to represent its chapter’s values as the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi, as well. The Homecoming queen is not just “outgoing and personable,” Clasby said. She embodies tradition, gets involved with the student body and supports the university. “There’s spirit involved in it. Being nominated and considered, it just shows that we just embrace what U of A has to offer,” she said. Clasby attributes much of her success to her grandmother, who supported each of Clasby’s endeavors from cheerleading in high school to leading her sorority. Looking ahead, Clasby plans to stay in Arizona and hopes to begin her teaching career within the next year.
ven though she’s originally from Phoenix, Tirendi said choosing between Arizona State University and the UA was an easy decision. She became involved with the UA community immediately as a member of Freshman Class Council. Then, in her junior year, Tirendi participated in Chain Gang Junior Honorary. Now, she is a member of the Club & Organization Standards Board and the Eller Board of Honor and Integrity. Because she is not involved in Greek Life and she commits much of her time to working outside of school, Tirendi said she was surprised by her nomination. She said she is proud to represent more traditional UA students and bring more diversity to the Homecoming court. Tirendi is studying business economics, Spanish and Portuguese. Once she graduates, she said she hopes to secure a job in investing or consulting. She is currently searching for opportunities outside the United States, particularly in Brazil. Tirendi said the role of Homecoming queen is not only a great honor, but a commitment to continuing the traditions of the university. “I feel like it’s already my responsibility to come back for Homecoming every year,” she said. “I feel like it’s a lifelong thing for sure.”
to Arizona.” The presentation discussed a range of topics, including the history of climate and weather research, how climate models work and what kind of simulations are conducted. The talk later shifted to the warming trend that the planet has been experiencing, the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases and the likelihood of it all being caused by humans. “Human activities are likely to be the cause of warming over the last 100 years on each of the continents,” Stouffer said while referencing a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. On the topic of climate change politics, Stouffer has said he is a scientist, first and foremost. “My job, as I see it, is to inform people what the
climate community knows and doesn’t know,” he said. “I believe that is part of the political process to figure out what should be done about it as a result. I tend to be very stringent in trying to communicate what’s known and not known about climate change.” As for the importance of his research, Stouffer said climate change affects everybody, primarily in future generations. “The decisions we make today don’t necessarily impact us directly,” he added. “Humans are the cause of a lot of the climate changes we see, and it’s an intergenerational issue. The gasoline we burn and the fuel we use to heat our houses today will be causing warming for our kids and our grandchildren through the course of their life. Climate change is something that’s going to impact the planet.”

Police Beat By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat
Autocrat, auto-crime
We’ve got you CovereD
A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the Architecture building at 8:20 a.m. on Monday in response to vandalism. The officer met with a Facilities Management employee, who reported that an electrical box on the southwest side of the building had been tagged with a stenciled, black spray-painted image that resembled the artist Chuck Close, the officer noted. Below the portrait was the word “autocrat.” An identical image was found on a metal cylinder storage tank on the east side of the building. The employee said there had been no damage, when the area was last chekced on Oct. 28. The officer photographed the damage. Victim’s rights forms were mailed to the UA.
Vandalized vending machine A UAPD officer went to the Education building at 7:40 a.m. on Monday in response to a damaged vending machine. The vending machine, operated by Tomdra Vending Machines, was located under a ramada with other machines and had contained milk and snacks. The three glass safety panes were broken open and the items inside were stolen. The moneybox was still intact. The officer contacted a Tomdra serviceman. The serviceman examined the machine and was unable to find any evidence showing how the vending machine was broken into. The total value of the items taken from the machine was $57 and the cost to replace the glass was $205. The officer photographed the damage and the machine was repaired.
CatCard swiped from Rec Center A UAPD officer went to the Student Recreation Center at 8 p.m. on Monday. The officer met with a man who reported that his bag had been stolen from an unsecured locker. He found the bag in a bathroom stall in the men’s locker room of the center, but his CatCard was missing. The man checked his bag, car, wallet and the lost and found but he was unable to find his CatCard. He said he did not see anyone take his bag. There are no suspects or witnesses.
An angel got her wings and flew away A UAPD officer spoke with a graduate student over the phone at 2:20 p.m. on Monday about property stolen from Esquire Apartments. The woman reported that between Oct. 28 and Monday, someone had stolen a sculpture of an angel from outside a common hallway. She said the sculpture had been there for several years. There are no surveillance cameras in the area. There are no suspects or witnesses. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Into the wild: Taming horses So you like horseback riding? What is your favorite thing about horses? They’re just very trainable animals. And that’s very interesting to me because, well, imagine trying to tame a wild animal like a bear or something. Did you hear about that guy who lived with a bear for a long time? Yes, I have. He was … didn’t he get eaten eventually? Yes, he did. That’s exactly the lesson there. Is there any of that sort of danger with horses? Well, since horses are herbivores, I don’t think so. But you know, you might get kicked or thrown off.

Arizona hosts Utah as bowl hopes grow slim Wildcats must win four straight games to gain bowl eligibility By Alex Williams DAILY WILDCAT
JANICE BIANCAVILLA / DAILY WILDCAT
Wide receiver Gino Crump warms up before Arizona’s game against Stanford on Sept. 17. Crump is looking forward to the challenges that Utah’s man-coverage schemes will present.
Time is running out for Arizona. The Wildcats (2-6, 1-5 Pac-12 Conference) have to win each of their remaining four games to gain bowl eligibility, starting Saturday at 4 p.m. when Arizona hosts Utah at Arizona Stadium. But even though Arizona faces long odds in trying to reach a bowl game, safety Robert Golden said he doesn’t feel the pressure mounting. “We take it one game at a time, not looking at what we’ve got ahead of us,” Golden said. “We just want to beat Utah and keep it going. It’s just going to take one game at a time and see where we end up at the end.” A board with Arizona’s schedule on it hangs on the fence in the Jimenez Practice Facility and illustrates Golden’s mindset. Every game is blocked out by black tape, except for the one being played that week. Wide receiver Gino Crump said the turmoil that Arizona has faced in the recent weeks has forced the Wildcats to focus more on the task directly in front of them. “We’re just hyped and ready to finish the season off strong,” Crump said. “I think a lot of times early in the season, we were thinking about too many things that were far ahead instead of just focusing on the task at hand.” Utah (4-4, 1-4) enters Saturday’s game with the conference’s No. 12-ranked offense, racking up just over 306 yards per game while being led by backup quarterback Jon Hays, whom Golden described as “struggling.” But Hays will try to air it out against a secondary missing starting cornerback Shaquille Richardson for the second straight week. Richardson was suspended for last week’s game at Washington and will miss the Utah game with a sprained ankle that he suffered in practice. Nickelback Jourdon Grandon will likely slide into Richardson’s spot on the defense, while freshman Tra’Mayne Bondurant will play the nickel spot vacated by Grandon. “We’ve had (Grandon) and Lyle (Brown) competing all week,” interim head coach Tim Kish said. “I think they’ll both play some.” As ineffective as the Utah offense has been at times, the Utes have the Pac-12’s No. 2 scoring

ANALYSIS
Arizona, Utah on opposite ends of the offensive spectrum By Dan Kohler DAILY WILDCAT
Arizona can keep its bowl hopes alive with a win against the Utah Utes on Saturday at Arizona Stadium. With a 1-5 Pac-12 record for the Wildcats and 1-4 conference run for the Utes. Let’s take a look at how the offense will unfold for both sides:
Comparing the pass Arizona’s passing numbers are light years ahead of Utah’s, with quarterback Nick Foles and the Wildcats ranking third in the nation with 375.6 passing yards per game. Foles’ maturity, combined with his accuracy, makes him one of the most lethal quarterbacks in the country. He’ll be able to find an open man, regardless of the Utes having the No. 3 pass defense in the Pac-12. Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham knows his secondary will have their hands full against Foles this weekend. “He has an excellent touch on the football,” Whittingham told the media in a press
conference in Salt Lake City on Monday. “He doesn’t try to gun the ball all over, but he has a great feel to put the ball where receivers will be open. That’s a great attribute for a quarterback.” Utah’s passing game lies at the other end of the spectrum. The Utes rank 100th out of 120 in the nation in passing yards per game. Starting quarterback Jordan Wynn went down with a shoulder injury on Oct. 1 against Washington and after undergoing surgery will have to sit on the bench for the rest of the season. Backup quarterback Jon Hays has struggled in his adjustment so far, throwing only 692 yards for five touchdowns in four and a half games since taking over for Wynn. Hays also has also thrown seven interceptions — in two games against Arizona State and Cal, he threw three each. Despite Hays’ struggles, Whittingham remains confident in his improvement. “He did make progress (against Oregon State) in the way that he managed the offense and made decisions,” Whittingham said. “He took care of the football, which is job number one on offense.”

Running into trouble Despite the Pac-12 being known as a quarterback-loaded conference, it also features an array of talented running backs, and Utah’s John White IV is averaging 114 yards per game, good enough for third in the conference. That’s bad news for the Wildcat defense as its track record has been anything but stellar against the premier backs in the conference. It let running backs from Oklahoma State, Stanford, Oregon and Oregon State set career highs in rushing yards. Washington’s Chris Polk dismantled the Wildcats last weekend scoring five touchdowns. He became the first player in school history to record over 100 rushing and receiving yards in the same game. Despite White’s capabilities, Arizona safety Robert Golden isn’t ready to compare him to the conference elite. “I won’t give him too much credit of (calling him) LaMichael James,” Golden said when asked which running back White reminds him of. “But he’s a real good scat back.”
HOOPS
Miller wary of season opener Head coach looking for day-to-day improvement By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT
In early November of last season Arizona held a closed scrimmage against Utah, and the Utes played without starting center Jason Washburn and starting power forward Jay Watkins. The Wildcats won by only five points. “I think that if you look at Utah’s season a year ago, it’s almost hard to believe that a team with 30 wins in late October, early November played Utah an even match,” said UA head coach Sean Miller. “We just got better by leaps and bounds.” Arizona went on to go 30-8 and make an Elite Eight run in the 201011 season while Utah finished the year 13-18, missing both the NCAA Tournament and the NIT. Although this year’s Wildcats are a new team with a much lower starting point, they’re hoping to mirror that progression from last season. Seattle Pacific and Humboldt State were this year’s Utah. The competitive Division II programs pushed Arizona’s buttons and exposed its weak points, something Miller thinks will help the Wildcats down the road. “To me, they allow us to really learn the most about our own team and get better,” Miller said. “As we approach Monday, I’m glad that we played both teams and I think we all recognized that our starting point isn’t very high.” The Seattle Pacific loss was an eyeopener to Arizona’s freshmen after a glitzy and glamorous Red-Blue Game. The Humboldt State squeaker proved as a wake-up call to Arizona’s underperforming leaders. “I think it helped us. Going against these teams put us in the right mindset coming off the Red-Blue Game,” said senior forward Jesse Perry. “A lot of guys felt confident, like we really did something, which we didn’t. I definitely think these two games helped us for the long run.” Miller knew the Wildcats would miss forward Derrick Williams and guard Momo Jones. He knew it would take time for the freshmen to develop. But these two games showed him exactly where Arizona is and have given him an idea of how to put the pieces to the puzzle together as far as his line-ups are concerned. “These two opportunities and 15 practices, I think we as a staff have a much clearer direction on what we have to do to be successful,” Miller said. “After the game we all realized, ‘Uh oh, we have to get a lot better.’” Miller said he’s “incredibly not comfortable” about where the Wildcats are as they prepare to host Valparaiso on Monday, and he can’t be happy with his team’s deficiencies as the season opener creeps closer. But maybe the Seattle Pacific game will serve the same purpose that last season’s Utah game did. Maybe the Wildcats have been woken up. “I know that we’re not that good, and we have to get better. We’re going to get better, we are,” Miller said. “Maybe down the line when it comes together, we’ll look back at our starting point and say, ‘Boy, we’ve really come a long way.’ That’s our goal right now.”

Coach makes sure W-hoops stays visible By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
In just three years, Niya Butts has transformed Arizona women’s basketball into a winning program that reaches out to the public. On top of intense practice schedules and sometimes demanding academics, the Wildcats make community involvement a priority. So far this season, the program has hosted a movie night, Little Dribblers, multiple “meet and greet” events and started a mentoring program with Prince Chapel AME Church of Tucson. The head coach has also made private and public appearances throughout the city, including her most recent talk last Thursday to a group of UA journalism students where she spoke about her journey to success. “For me, I just think it’s better to be out there,” Butts said. “If you want people to get behind something you’re doing, what better way to do it than to show your face. It doesn’t take a lot of money to do, it takes time, and that’s the one thing we do have and I’m willing to give.” Butts said there’s a bigger emphasis on making a connection with people rather than advertising to them. “I’m not asking Arizona to come up with $400 to 500,000 to put on our marketing plan,” she said. “But what we do want is to make sure people know that they can connect with us and that I’m not only sitting in my office saying, ‘I hope people come to the game.’ I’m willing to get out there and do whatever I can to make sure that our program gets out there.” Butts’ inspiration stems from her mother, who she describes as a very selfless person.
“But what we do want is to make sure people know . . . that I’m not only sitting in my office saying, ‘I hope people come to the game.’”
— Niya Butts Arizona women’s basketball coach
“I think we are all a product in some way, shape or form, of our environment — the way we were brought up and what we’ve seen over time,” Butts said. “I like being around people, talking to people, making people feel good and I like the difference you can make in peoples’ lives.”
A new partnership Sometimes a requested appearance can lead to a greater and more meaningful venture for Butts. Depending on the circumstances, she’ll latch onto an organization and want to be as involved as possible, she said. That’s exactly what happened with her newfound relationship with Prince Chapel AME Church of Tucson. Last year, the Wildcats spent a lot of time with the Boys and Girls Club, but they could never call the philanthropy their own. “It’s actually something I wanted to do for awhile,” Butts said. “In terms of our team, we do a lot of things where people request us to come out into the community, but in terms of something we owned, I wanted our girls to be able to connect with something — to have personal relationships with these kids.” The opportunity arrived when a friend invited her to church one morning at Prince. Despite already having its own youth group,
the church created a partnership with Butts. “I though it would be great, because a lot of those young kids, even though they live in Tucson, have never been on a college campus,” Butts said. “I figure if we could expose them to different things and talk about different things, it can make a difference and inspire some of them.” Vianna Turner, the church’s secretary, has two younger siblings in the program. “The kids love it,” Turner said. “They always are excited when they come back from events.” Now, many of the children want to become famous basketball players, Turner added. Last month, Butts and the team took a group of kids on a tour of McKale Center, which included a guest appearance by the team’s strength and conditioning coach, Brian Odom. He had planned to show the kids some moves, but that itinerary quickly changed when the kids first stepped into the athletes’ weight room. “As soon as they got into the weight room, their eyes lit up and they didn’t care about anything anybody had to say,” Butts said. “They were in awe. We would have been ruining the moment had we tried to sit them down. It’s just amazing, because we see it every day and I think a lot of our players witnessing that understand better now the opportunity they’re afforded.” And there lies another underlying goal Butts has for the team’s program. “It’s not only for the youth and the group that’s in the mentoring program, but it’s for our kids as well,” Butts said, “because I think we all are getting something out of it.”
UA closes exhibition slate Women’s hoops hosts Grand Canyon in final preseason tune-up By Zach Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat
The Arizona women’s basketball team handily defeated Western State College 73-56 in Wednesday’s first exhibition game despite a sluggish first half, and it will try to work out the rest of the kinks when it faces Grand Canyon University on Sunday at 4 p.m. Though these first two contests are exhibitions, head coach Niya Butts said there’s much to be learned in playing outside of practice. “I count exhibitions,” Butts said. “To me they’re all opportunities to play against someone who is not affiliated with Arizona.” Against Western State, the Wildcats committed 28 turnovers and shot a lowly 17-of32 from the free throw line. Those are a few stats that certainly can’t recur going forward. “I think a little more than half of those were unforced. We were just making careless errors with the basketball,” Butts said.
“Our turnovers, they killed us, and our free throw shooting … that’s a lot of points we’re leaving on the board.” Butts said that without all of those mistakes, the Wildcats could have scored as many as 100 points, and if the team can cut back on the turnovers and make its shots from the charity stripe, they will be better off. “We should knock down free throws, and we should take better care of the basketball and if we do that we’re going to be OK,” Butts said. Davellyn Whyte, the team’s leading returning scorer from last season, struggled with foul trouble in the first game and was unable to make a huge impact. Butts said she didn’t want to overwork her star player because there’s a long season ahead. “We don’t need anybody to force anything, and we weren’t going to try and leave her in and make her play the whole second half just because she missed the first half,” Butts said. “We understand we have another exhibition on Sunday, and her body takes a lot of pounding and we’re gonna need her throughout the year.” As for highly touted freshman center Aley Rohde, who tallied a double-double in her first game with 11 points and 10 rebounds, there is still room for improvement.
“There was a lot of things I could’ve done better. For a first game I got the feel of the game and it’s just uphill from here,” Rohde said. Rohde said that, going forward, she needed to work on “consistency, a strong base in the post and my defense, gambling and getting the right position on the post player.” Butts did not believe that the 6-foot-5 starting center performed as well as she could have, and coaches are emphasizing to Rohde that she needs to start using her height to her advantage. “We’re telling her, ‘You are huge. You’re going to be able to alter some things if you just play your position and stay low and keep your hands high,’” Butts said. Behind Rohde, Butts believes that one of the team’s biggest strengths will be rebounding, which is something they showed on Wednesday when Arizona outrebounded Western State 53 to 34. “We almost outrebounded them by 20,” Butts said. “Cheylene Harper got in and got four offensive rebounds just like that and that was good. We were able to get those rebounds to get another offensive opportunity. We gotta continue to do that the remainder of the season.”

commentary
Solomon Hill has to be the go-to guy Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat
N
o matter how important a balanced scoring attack may be, every team needs that one player to step up and make a play in crunch time. With the game on the line or the shot clock winding down, that go-to guy puts the team on his back. Derrick Williams was that guy last season. But with Williams now in the NBA fighting with owners over 1 percent of the NBA’s revenue, Arizona has no such player. Head coach Sean Miller preached balance and a deep rotation early in the season, but even he knows the Wildcats need someone to emerge as the go-to player. Miller said the only reason Arizona doesn’t have that player is because no one has emerged as the frontrunner. “A coach doesn’t anoint the go-to guy,” Miller said after the Wildcats defeated Humboldt State. “The player becomes the go-to guy. I never said to Derrick or the team, ‘Let’s make sure Derrick gets 20.’ He just got 20.” Arizona doesn’t have a Derrick Williams. There are no 20-point scorers on the roster. But taking age, experience and skill set into consideration, junior Solomon Hill must try. Sure, there are other options. Nick Johnson and Josiah Turner are probably the two most talented players on the roster. Johnson scored an effortless 18 against Seattle Pacific and Turner’s shown the ability to break anyone down on the perimeter at any given time. But it’s unfair to lean on a pair of freshmen, especially early in the season. So that leaves the veterans — Hill, Kyle Fogg and Jesse Perry. Miller said that the go-to guy will be situational. Sometimes it’s Fogg, sometimes it’s Hill and sometimes it’s Perry. But let’s be honest. Perry and Fogg are role players. Fogg is a deadly standstill shooter, a lockdown defender and a solid leader. He’ll drill an open triple, but he’s not a playmaker. The same goes for Perry. He’s a scrapper who can hit the occasional open jumper and attack the hoop all the way from the 3-point line. He’s not Derrick Williams in the paint. He isn’t a lightsout finisher and he plays below the rim. He does a nice job getting to the free throw line and plays as hard as anyone on the team. Williams had that it factor. Momo Jones had that it factor. Perry and Fogg simply don’t. So that leaves Hill. The 6-foot-6 small forward is full of talent. He can make plays in the post and break players down off the dribble. Plus, he’s played in his fair share of big games. Hill needs to be The Man, at least until Johnson or Turner develop more. He’s the only one with the experience and the talent to fill Arizona’s gaping hole. That role is Hill’s for the taking, but judging by his last performance against Humboldt State, he’s far from taking advantage of it. “A lot of guys talk about having and wanting a bigger role,” Miller said. “There it is. It’s like, ‘Man, Derrick Williams is gone, now I have the opportunity.’ He is gone and here’s the opportunity.” Will Hill capitalize on his chance? If not, Arizona is in trouble. — Mike Schmitz is a marketing senior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Volleyball hosts Oregon schools on heels of upset Beavers roll to Tucson on 3-game win streak, Ducks coming off split By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
The Arizona volleyball team (14-9, 6-8) will take on Oregon State tonight and No. 20 Oregon on Sunday, both in McKale Center. Last month, the Wildcats split in Oregon by beating the Beavers and falling to the Ducks. Oregon State is coming off of three consecutive wins, including an upset feat against Utah last weekend. Head coach Dave Rubio wasn’t surprised by the upset; the Beavers have made significant improvement since their first meeting with the Wildcats. “It doesn’t surprise me,” Rubio said. “We certainly can’t let our guard down when we play them.” For both the Wildcats and the Beavers, postseason implications are on the line. “They have a lot to play for,” he said. “I’m sure they still feel like they’re in a position for the playoffs, as we do. “Tonight is a pivotal match for

both of us,” Rubio added. “There’s a lot riding on the match for both programs.” As for Oregon, the Ducks split last weekend, defeating Colorado but falling to Utah — it was the first time this season the Ducks lost to an opponent that the Beavers didn’t. Rubio said his team has had a good week of practices and that the players are slowly but surely getting healthier. Tonight’s match starts at 8 p.m. and Sunday’s will start at noon.
Arizona to retire Kim Glass’ jersey
Arizona will retire former player Kim Glass’s jersey tonight during the Oregon State match. She is also being inducted into the UA Sports Hall of Fame. “The only retired jerseys are the players of the year recipients, and she was the Freshman Player of the Year during her first year here,” Rubio said. “From now until infinity, her jersey will be hanging from the rafters at McKale. It’s quite an honor.” Glass played outside hitter for

Rubio from 2002 until 2006. “She walked in my office yesterday and I hadn’t seen her since 2006 when she left,” Rubio said. “It was great to see her.” Glass earned multiple accolades at Arizona and still holds a handful of records for the program, and even for the conference — she is still the only Pac-10 player to get double-digit kills in every match. During her Wildcat career, she pummeled the kill record of 2,000, and established the current record of 2,151 kills. She also holds the record for service aces with 162 total.

defense, giving up 20.6 points per game, and the No. 1 defense in total yardage, allowing just over 325 yards per game. Crump said Utah’s pass defense is a little different than anything else the Wildcats will see in conference play because of the way that Utah’s cornerbacks will creep up close to the line of scrimmage and play physical man coverage. But even though the Ute defense brings a physicality that Arizona hasn’t seen this season, Crump said that the Wildcat receivers are ready for the challenge. “That’s what you want as a wide receiver,” Crump said. “For a guy to come man you up, pressure you, it’s mano a mano and that’s what this game’s about — just stepping up and proving who’s the best.”

Hockey home for 2, Swim hosts Wisconsin Hockey team to play Weber State this weekend The No. 23 Arizona hockey team takes on the Wildcats of Weber State at the Tucson Convention Center Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The UA will look to get over .500 for the first time this season, and ACHA Division II Weber State should provide a great opportunity to do just that. Although Arizona struggled during the start of the season, going 1-3-1 against all ranked opponents on the road, it has picked up its performance lately. The team split a road series against No. 8 Iowa State and then returned home to outscore Division II Texas by a combined score of 26-0 during its first series of the season at the TCC. While head coach Sean Hogan said Weber State should be more competitive, the team still feels confident going into the series. Weber State is 4-7-0 on the season with 6-2 and 4-1 losses to future Arizona opponent Colorado State, a team currently unranked in the ACHA Division I.

Alumni reflect on time at UA, campus changes as they return for Homecoming By Stewart McClintic Daily Wildcat
Many alumni have returned to their alma mater this week to visit the place they once called home. Homecoming is “a chance to become re-acquainted with old friends and see the campus and how it has changed,” said Bill Ruebsamen, a graduate from 1977. “Homecoming wasn’t as meaningful as a student. Reuniting with old friends at Homecoming every few years allows me to pretend I’m young for a weekend.” Alumni who come back for Homecoming range from last year’s graduates to those who graduated more than 50 years ago. “Homecoming is a time when I can reconnect with my roots and college life,” said Sean Mulvey, who
graduated with a degree in finance in May 2010. “It’s very important to be here to see how things have changed, and in what directions life is taking everyone.” Nancy Mills, the 1966 Homecoming queen and a 1968 English graduate said that, for her, Homecoming is about nostalgia. Mills, now a retired psychologist, said she is excited to return to the UA. “It’s nostalgic to think about remembering how it was to walk around campus and see how beautiful was,” she said. Although she said she probably will not see many friends while she returns for this Homecoming, it is fun to see how much everything has changed and how many things are still the same.
“Reuniting with old friends at Homecoming every few years allows me to pretend I’m young for a weekend.” — Bill Ruebsamen Class of 1977
“As we age we hold onto the fond memories in life,” said David Byard, a 1977 graduate. “Our time at the UA was special and set the course for all our adult lives.” Mark Hester never graduated with a degree from the UA, but still feels he is an alumnus nonetheless. He said he failed to graduate because
he had to leave to go work, and said Homecoming was special to him as a student because it was a time to get away during school and to learn how to grow up a bit. Hester is now currently the president of Hester, Heitel and Associates, a commercial insurance firm located in Phoenix. Keith Ballard, a UA and Arizona State University alumnus, was a student at the UA from 1982 to 1983 and graduated from ASU with a Bachelor of Science in 1985. “I remember how much fun I had at the UA,” he said. “I was very irresponsible as an 18-yearold teenager, but through growth I was able to gain both confidence and leadership.” Ballard, now 48 years old, was a winner of the California Teacher of the Year award in 2002 as well as
the Milken United States National Educator in 2003. Mike Myers, who graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science in business administration, said, “Homecoming is not just a party and a football game. It’s about reconnecting with friends, memories and my alma mater.” Myers is now the president of Palio Communications, a global pharmaceutical and consumer advertising marketing and communications agency. “I have rarely missed Homecoming since graduation as it in many ways recharges my batteries, brings back great memories and creates many opportunities for new ones,” he said. “I don’t feel old, but being at Homecoming definitely makes me feel young again.”
Frat looks to extend UAPD does not streak in float contest expect increases
in weekend crime
Theta Tau, winner of the last 12, matches up in annual campus clash
By Kyle Mittan Daily Wildcat
By Alexandra Bortnik Daily Wildcat
The approach of the UA’s 2011 Red, Blue and Bold Homecoming has kept campus fraternities laboring over their floats, placing finishing touches and preparing them for Saturday’s parade. In the hopes of extending its 12-year winning streak, the UA’s engineering fraternity, Theta Tau, has been building its float for three weeks, according to Parker Imperl, an engineering management senior and vice regent of Theta Tau. Imperl said they took the main concept from last year’s float and incorporated it as a part of this year’s. “We’re having a gigantic rocket fly over Old Main … We’re taking a big idea and putting it on the back burner and just using it as a supporting feature,” Imperl said. “I think that shows we’re confident that it’s going to trump everything that we’ve done before, maybe not everybody else, but what we’ve done and we only really work to improve on ourselves.” Imperl said this year’s float will be made mostly from wood, cardboard and recycled materials from previous floats. Since the creation of Theta Tau’s sustainability committee three years ago, the fraternity has been dismantling its entire float after Homecoming and recycling and reusing whatever it can. “There was a tradition in the past to destroy (the float) … then we said why are we wasting all these materials? So we started saving them and storing them at our house,” Imperl said. David Badger, a civil engineering senior and member of Theta Tau, said he plans to wear red body paint and lead the float down the UA Mall. “Homecoming is the most exciting time of the year,” Badger said. “It’s really where you can show all your school spirit. I’m

screaming at the top of my lungs out there and leading the parade and our float.” The Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s float, being built by the Freshman Class Council, has been in the works for the past several weeks, according to Valerie Hanna, a political science freshman and a member of the council. “It’s definitely going to be pretty theatrical, but also incorporate a lot of U of A traditions because that’s what the student government of the UA is all about,” Hanna said. Hanna said she’s heard Theta Tau “is the one to beat,” but is
confident in ASUA’s efforts. “We feel like our idea will give them a run for their money,” she said. “We’re going to try our best to execute as well as we can.” The Pi Kappa Phi fraternity’s goal for this Homecoming is to boost the morale of the UA’s football team, according to fraternity member Parker Stewart, an economics freshman. Stewart said the float will include a football helmet and goal posts. “We’re just having a lot of fun out there. We’re all really excited for the parade and for homecoming,” Hanna said. “It’s just awesome to finally be a part of all the traditions here at the UA.”
UAPD and the UA Alumni Association said they aren’t worried about reckless behavior during Homecoming, despite doubts from students. This year’s Homecoming festivities began Thursday, and features more than 50 events across four days, including a parade, a number of reunions and the UA’s football matchup against the University of Utah on Saturday. With such a large number of people occupying the UA Mall at one time, some may expect security difficulties, but event promoters and UAPD said they aren’t concerned. “Typically what we try and address is disruptive behavior, anything that’s going to distract visitors and patrons from enjoying the game,” said Juan Alvarez, UAPD’s public information officer. “But typically that’s something we deal with at any football game, so it’s not something that’s just particular of Homecoming.” According to Alvarez, the department will also be employing several off-duty officers in addition to the regular number to help coordinate traffic routes during the parade that will travel down the Mall on Saturday. Much of the 2011 Homecoming presentation is being directed by the UA Alumni Association, which will run a tight schedule during the fourday celebration. “We come up with a minute-byminute schedule for everything that’s happening on the Mall that is part of the Alumni Association Homecoming program,” said Melinda Burke, president and executive director of the association. Burke said this schedule not only keeps Homecoming events running smoothly, but also plays a major role in ensuring everyone’s safety. Collaboration between the UA Alumni Association and UAPD relies on this plan, and, according to Burke, communication between the two departments is flawless. “They (UAPD) are pretty incredible,” Burke added. “If we need
directions or if we have questions, we don’t wait until Homecoming day to ask UAPD about an issue, and they’ve been very good at talking with us about potential issues.” The UA Alumni Association is also prepared to hire more security if extra security guards are needed. Much of the security will concentrate on monitoring the tents on the Mall, especially those serving alcohol. Despite the confidence of Homecoming’s promoters, some students on campus aren’t so sure that everything will be as easy to manage as they claim, especially once alcohol is served. “I’m sure if there’s alcohol involved, then there will be something,” said Maura Jensen, a senior studying retailing and consumer science. “I always read stuff in the (Daily) Wildcat about like arrests at the dorms and stuff like that, so I’m sure there will be something if there’s underage people.” Lilian Hautemulle, a chemistry senior, also said there might be issues, but because of the crowd itself. “You have a lot more energy going into a system, so, yeah, there’s a lot more likelihood that something’s going to go wrong,” Hautemulle said. “More people, more partying. I wouldn’t say it’s assumed. It would be natural, though.” On the other hand, not everyone has such doubts about UAPD’s efforts to keep everything under control. “I haven’t noticed anything crazy happening on campus whenever I’ve been around,” said Andrew VanSchoiack, a chemistry graduate student. “It’s not really going to be a big deal.” The primary message from UAPD to Homecoming’s patrons is to enjoy the weekend. “We’d like to ask the people that come here to make sure they have a good time, but be aware of your behavior and how it affects the people around you,” Alvarez said. “We want everyone to come here and have a good time, so when they do leave the University of Arizona, they come away with a good experience.”

the return of Sibley’s return marks 15th year portraying Arizona mascot
wilbur
By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat
For Kirk Sibley, Homecoming isn’t just a chance for him to come back and watch his alma mater play football — it’s a chance for him to relive the greatest years of his life. Starting in 1996, Sibley was Wilbur T. Wildcat. Ever since his graduation in 1999, he has returned to reclaim his role as the beloved mascot at every Homecoming for a record 15 years. “For me that’s just what I look forward to every year,” he said. “That day where I can just get out there and put the costume on and get the crowd going again.” Sibley grew up in Tucson. He said he wanted to attend the UA for his whole life, but financial restraints kept him away from the UA after he finished high school. Eventually he decided he couldn’t bear the wait any longer and became a Wildcat, both metaphorically and physically.

Kirk Sibley, who returns to the UA for his 15th Homecoming appearance on Saturday, began portraying Wilbur Wildcat in 1996.
And the bond that was created by fulfilling his dream has never disappeared. “Just because I graduated (my
A3
attachment) wasn’t going away,” Sibley said. “I wasn’t feeling like I wanted to sever ties. It still was and is a really special place for me.”
In his post-Wilbur years, Sibley has stayed connected by volunteering as the videographer for the Pride of Arizona marching band. He records its rehearsals and shows, and even went to band camp the last two years. To him, the marching band has always been special, especially since he was a band member his freshman year. He said that he enjoys being referred to as “The UA’s Band Mascot” and even still cries when he hears it play “Bear Down.” The extensive time and energy he contributes is purely on a volunteer basis. Sibley works full time for Intel Corp. in Chandler, yet the hour-long drive to Tucson has never deterred him from donating his time to the school he loves. Last year, Sibley made a 45-minute DVD for the band using more than 130 hours of footage that he recorded. Sibley also contributed most of the footage used in the Pride of Arizona’s introductory video that is shown before every football game. “I probably got a little mistyeyed when I saw that footage up there,” he said about seeing the video on Arizona Stadium’s
new video board. “And not just because it was my footage, but just because I was able to still be able to do something that contributes to the school and the program.” The UA left a lasting impact on Sibley, but it’s not a one-way street. Since he put on the furry head of Wilbur, things have never been the same. Sibley began the tradition of the shirt-lift in 1998, a skit that is still done today. He also brought back the tradition in which graduating Wilburs sign the wall inside the changing room, leaving a lasting impression of the work each student contributed. Even though this is his 15th Homecoming game, Sibley sees no end in sight for his days as Wilbur. He only wants to stop if he is physically unable to or it is no longer fun, and neither of those scenarios has happened yet, he said. For Sibley, he just loves being on the field with the band and entertaining the crowd for one game each year. “It’s just a complete thrill,” Sibley said.

game Homecoming contest doesn’t stand out for Arizona players By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat
While most of the attention that the football team receives during Homecoming has to do with its performance on the field, the Wildcats are looking forward to what comes off of the gridiron. A number of ex-Wildcats make it back to Tucson each year for Homecoming. That’s what has quarterback Nick Foles most excited about this year’s festivities. Still, it’s just another football game, as Arizona looks to keep its slim bowl hopes alive with a win against Utah on Saturday. “This is just another chance to see them, so it’ll be fun to catch up and see how they’re doing,” Foles said. “To see some of the ex-players that I played with when I first got here will be pretty neat.” Many players that are now playing in the NFL make it back to the Old Pueblo for workouts during the summer, something that Foles said can make up for their inability to come back for the Homecoming game. “A lot of the guys that are in the league, I know they’re busy,” Foles said. “So I doubt all of them will make it back. But it’ll be fun to see who comes back and to catch up with those guys after the game.” But while Foles and several other players look forward to seeing old teammates, cornerback Trevin Wade said that he doesn’t understand the excitement surrounding Homecoming weekend every year. “I never get the feeling,” Wade said. “I don’t understand it. I just go out there and play.” Wade said that while he doesn’t get caught up in the Homecoming festivities, he’s happy to see former players make it back whenever possible. “It’s pretty cool, but I only really talk to a few of them,” Wade continued. “It was cool seeing (Rob) Gronkowski a couple of weeks back. We talk all the
time, so that was cool seeing him.” But while seniors Foles and Wade have learned to block out some of the extra attention that comes with Homecoming every year, freshman running back Ka’Deem Carey said that he’s looking forward to his first homecoming at Arizona, even though he’s from the Tucson area. “I just get to play here and play in this stadium,” sad Carey, a Canyon del Oro High School graduate. “It’s just a fun atmosphere, but I feel like every game is a Homecoming.”

Calculations require caution Critics say financial aid net price calculator skews cost of attendance By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT
The UA has created a net price calculator to help applicants estimate the amount of need-based aid they could receive, but its accuracy in determining true cost of attendance is questionable. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid posted the new calculator to comply
with a federal mandate that went into effect on Saturday. Colleges and universities all over the country must have some form of a net price calculator designed to estimate net loans, grants and cost of attendance. Although the calculator is a “step in the right direction,” according to Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of finaid.org and author of “Secrets to Winning a Scholarship,” it should be used as a “ball park estimate that may not be all that accurate.” The data used in the UA’s calculator is 2 years old, Kantrowitz said, because
the information used was gathered in December, while the financial aid budget for the fall semester was created the spring before. This poses a problem when comparing the UA to other colleges, he said, who may have created their own custom calculators using different data. “You’re going to have results that aren’t really comparable,” Kantrowitz added. The definition of net price is also flawed, he said, because the average grant sum used in the calculators is specific to firstyear, full-time students, not transfer or

The UA Library Special Collections department has obtained archives from Humane Borders, a nonprofit, Tucson-based organization dedicated to minimizing migrant deaths. Founded in June 2000, Humane Borders has focused primarily on installing and maintaining emergency water stations throughout areas
along the U.S.-Mexico border known to be heavily traveled by migrants, in an attempt to “create a safe and death-free border environment,” according to the mission statement at HumaneBorders.org. The organization’s philanthropy has resulted in heavy political criticism from commentators like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. Humane Borders’ original founder Robin Hoover said the main goal is to help keep people alive.
“Humane Borders is a humanitarian organization that was created to provide humanitarian assistance to the migrants who are risking their lives coming across the Sonora/Arizona border,” Hoover said. “In order to accomplish that, we created and maintained water stations out in the desert.” Additionally, Hoover, who is no longer involved with Humane Borders on a day-to-day basis, said
the organization collected data regarding how many migrants were dying and where. The data was then used to create maps and warning posters to deter migrants from attempting to cross the border. These maps and posters, along with media and administrative files, Hoover’s own writings and hate mail sent to the organization are all

Climate change leader visits UA Germs abound Stresses importance of research, says field is not a political issue By Kyle Mittan DAILY WILDCAT
A world leader in climate change research visited the UA on Wednesday to present his findings on how humans have impacted global climate change. Ronald Stouffer, an internationally recognized climate scientist, studied the topic for more than 30 years as a federal employee, working for organizations like the Department of Commerce, Princeton University’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Stouffer, who works in
New Jersey, uses climate models to study past, present and future climates. The presentation was co-sponsored by the UA’s Institute of the Environment, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Department of Geosciences. “I’m trying to communicate to the audience what I view is what’s known and not known about climate change and how we know it, and to allow the audience to make their own judgments about what, if anything, should be done about climate change,” Stouffer said. Stouffer chose to come to the UA after being invited by Jianjun Yin and Joellen Russell, two assistant profesWILL FERGUSON / DAILY WILDCAT sors in the geosciences department who both did post-doctoral research Climate change scientist Ronald Stouffer gave a talk about human impact on

on touch screens By Amer Taleb DAILY WILDCAT
That touch screen at the checkout counter is probably dirtier than you think. More than 60 percent of grocery and hardware store touch screens examined in a roughly three-month UA study had fecal bacteria on them. Several were contaminated with E. coli and one contained MRSA, contagious staph bacteria. No one’s ever studied touch screens as mediums for transferring germs from one person to another, said Chuck Gerba, the soil/water and environmental sciences professor
who designed the study. You can pick up between 20 and 30 percent of the germs someone else leaves behind on a hard surface, Gerba said. “ATM machines, mobile phones, iPads … germs are always being transferred to a surface,” he said. “We’re a button-pushing world and your generation, college students, touch more buttons than any generation in history.” College age students touch their faces 16 times per hour, which transfers the germs, Gerba said.

Translator program sees rapid enrollment growth By Alexandra Bortnik Daily Wildcat
Since its launch five years ago, the UA’s translation and interpretation program has grown from 35 to 170 students. The Spanish and Portuguese department’s five-year-long undergraduate program was developed by the National Center for Interpretation through a grant given to the center from the U.S. Department of Education. “The federal government has been looking at this much more closely, recently in the last 10 years or so, and so more and more agencies are recognizing their obligation to provide interpreter services for their clients,” said Paul Gatto, assistant director for the Interpretation Test Research Center. In August 2000, then-President Bill Clinton signed White House Executive Order 13166 requiring that “the Federal Government provides and funds an array of services that can be made accessible to otherwise eligible persons who are not proficient in the English language.” Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also requires institutions that receive federal money to provide equal access to people with limited English proficiency, which Gatto explained as one of the many reasons for the growing demand for qualified translators and interpreters. “The need is great and growing because of federal efforts to enforce civil rights laws that relate to people with limited English proficiency,” Gatto said.
Sonia Colina, a professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said the program is developing an online certification process, which will cater to working professionals and undergraduates who want to continue their education in translation and interpretation. “For people who are older, or professionals that might be working part-time or fulltime, those people see sometimes that they can’t go back to school but they need to get some kind of formal training,” Colina said. “Up until very recently in the U.S. we didn’t really have much formal training in translation and interpretation.” With the increasing number of accredited translators and interpreters, businesses and institutions will begin to seek translators and interpreters with higher forms of education in the field, according to Colina. “Recent Department of Labor statistics indicate that the growth of the field is projected to outpace the growth of most fields in the next 20 years,” Gatto said. Translation and interpretation programs are also necessary for Americans born in the U.S. “There a lot of people who are born and raised here who are still limited in their English proficiency, and you can grow up in this country without knowing very much English,” Gatto said. Gatto said the mentality that the United States is an English-speaking country is inconsistent with the legal foundation of the country, and that it wasn’t created with
English as its primary language. “It doesn’t strike me as very American … and it doesn’t strike me as a particularly moral perspective to take,” Gatto said. Colina also stressed the demand for accredited translators in the medical and legal fields where businesses are liable for mistakes in translation. Ramses Rocha, a UA graduate from the Eller College of Management and program coordinator for the National Center for Interpretation, said he’s witnessed the difficulty that a person with limited knowledge in English undergoes in medical and legal settings. “In the legal realm, as well as in the medical, there’s definitely a different language. Being able to communicate in such a language is a matter of life or death,” Rocha said. “The service that we provide to train people who want to interpret and translate is very important, there are people who really need the service.” Rocha said his main goal is to fulfill the center’s mission statement and provide access and justice to people with limited or no knowledge of the English language. The center also contributes to the UA’s obligations as a land grant institution to serve the community, Gatto said. “We really try to make ourselves a resource for the community of interpreters in this country at all levels,” said Eva Morrow, marketing specialist for the center, “and that’s definitely something we like to reinforce.”

“You guys are always sticking your fingers in your face,” he added. Ty Rouzan, a pre-business student, said the nastiest part of the study is the amount of fecal bacteria found on the touch screens. “That’s disgusting, people need to Purell themselves,” he said. “I see people walking out of the bathroom all the time without washing their hands and I’m stuck standing there doing a double take.” The fecal bacteria probably comes from people not cleaning themselves properly after using the bathroom or from handling raw meat products in grocery stores, Gerba said.

included in the archives now held in Special Collections. Assistant librarian and archivist Chrystal Carpenter said the Humane Borders archives fit in well with other Southwestern history resources, a topic that the UA Library Special Collections specializes in. “Special Collections is basically the primary research center for the library on campus,” Carpenter said. “We focus on the Southwest and borderlands specifically, as well as other areas that support the university, so we have a lot of primary research materials — correspondence, photographs, rare books — anything that’s unique and one-of-a-kind that’s in the library system is here in Special Collections, and Humane Borders is one of those types of things.” According to Carpenter, preserving the materials is an important step toward ensuring the information is available to future generations. “By preserving them (the documents) and keeping them safe for posterity, it allows researchers now and into the future to be able to actively study this material, and be able to promote scholarship and preserve the knowledge,” she added. Hoover also said having access to the archives will allow people in many fields to continue researching U.S. border relations. “There will be major histories written about this,” he said. “There already have been books, movies, Ph.D. dissertations, documentaries and thousands of print articles … about this. By putting these in the archives, we’re making them available to historians, students, filmmakers and documentarians to use from now on because this story is far from being over.” From a university perspective, Carpenter said that having the archives complements the library’s already-notable collection, which includes pieces from the 1800s, documents signed by former President Abraham Lincoln and transcripts of interviews with people who directly knew Adolf Hitler. “I think that it (having the Humane Borders materials) fosters the goals of the university in building scholarship and research, and building community relations,” Carpenter added. “It definitely fulfills the mission of the university to do so.”
checkout and check-in touch screens are probably the dirtiest on campus. Because they’re used so often, it’s impossible for the library staff to keep up with cleaning them, he said. The library custodial staff cleans the express checkout and check-in machines daily, said Robyn Huff-Eibl, team leader for access and information services for the UA libraries. There are also Purell instant hand sanitizer stands at all of the library public service desks for anyone to use, she said. Carol Underwood, a dining services attendant lead at On Deck Deli, said employees make a point of wiping down the cashier’s touch screen and that she washes her hands frequently. Deandra J. Roberts, a graduate student studying higher education
administration, said the study’s results were gross, but not surprising considering how often touch screens are used. “And it makes me think twice about using kiosks,” she said. “If everyone did their part and washed their hands, society would be healthier and a lot better off.” Since it’s not practical to wipe down a touch screen every five minutes, Gerba recommended people use hand sanitizer and wash their hands frequently. “We don’t want to make people paranoid about germs. We’re trying to raise awareness about good hand hygiene and where it’s important to disinfect,” he said. “The idea is to keep the odds in your favor, not the germs. The solution is in your hands.”

part-time students. Additionally, Kantrowitz said the calculator is geared toward grant recipients instead of the general student, which could be problematic if a potential student uses the calculator and is unsure if they will receive a grant. “This could understate the cost by thousands of dollars,” he said. While some are wary of the calculator, others like John Nametz, director of student financial aid at the UA, maintain it is “exactly accurate for what it does.” Nametz explained that the calculator looks at the median of the user’s information, which can becompared with the medians at other schools, he said, and is more accurate than using a simple average. There are a few factors the UA’s calculator does not take into account, he said. Nametz explained that it does not embed scholarship money given after the admissions process, does not consider class and department competitiveness and cannot predict changes in a student’s life that could change the amount of financial aid awarded. His office makes about 4,000 adjustments in student financial aid per year, he said, for many reasons, including a change in a parent’s income or an increase in a student’s medical expenses. “There’s no calculator that can deal with that,” he said. “There’s no way we can make it as accurate as we would like … but students still benefit from it. It does take certain things into account.” Some student groups applauded the UA’s efforts to focus on the total cost of attendance rather than tuition alone. “Tuition is not the only cost students incur, we need to look at total affordability of higher education,” said Dan Fitzgibbon, board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association. Although the calculator can help future students “roughly plan” the cost of attending the UA, he said, it does not factor in tuition increases. Fitzgibbon put in what his information would have looked like during his incoming freshman year, and the calculator gave him a net price of about $6,000, which he said is “no longer the case.” “There is no predictability in the way we see costs increase,” he said. “Our (ASA’s) biggest priority is to ensure that projected aid is as high as possible.” James Allen, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said the calculator gives students a good idea of what their cost of attendance could be. But due to the calculator’s “vagueness” and “lack of detail,” he said, it runs the risk of not being entirely accurate because it could become outdated from tuition and fee hikes. He said information like a student’s high

school grade point average could be helpful, because the calculator could then factor in additional funding sources like merit-based scholarships. “It’s an excellent starting point, and an improvement because we didn’t have this in the past,” Allen said. “If you’re taking out a loan, for example, it’s serious. You need to be able to gauge the total cost of what you’re paying.” The UA will keep its calculator in its current form for now, but different pieces may be added to it as situations like state policy change, Nametz said. “The calculators are suffering teething pains, and it could take a few years before Congress updates the statute after seeing the first year’s usage,” Kantrowitz added. “They will eventually be a very good tool to help families understand affordability.”

Gingers do have souls Ashley Reid Daily Wildcat
L
ast weekend, notoriously noted as “Halloweekend,” I couldn’t help but notice a trend in costumes. Alongside the slew of police officer costumes and animal ears paired with sleazy apparel, were plenty of “gingers.” People actually painted their hair an unsettling color of red, paled out their faces and ornamented themselves with brown marker freckles. I’ve never really analyzed this stereotype, but I kept seeing these creepy photos pop up online. What on earth is up with people’s fixation of hating on redheads? Perhaps I’m the only one who doesn’t understand what the deal is with this ginger stereotype. The ginger stereotype has been prominent for centuries. In medieval times, redheads were thought to be emblems of sexual desire — but not in a good way. It was more of a homewrecker stereotype. It was also noted that red-haired people had temper problems and fiery personalities. In some cultures, people believed that people with red hair and green eyes were witches. The stereotype softened in Elizabethan times in England, only because the queen herself was a ginger. Red hair swiftly became fashionable, and it was portrayed in various paintings and artworks. However, the modern stereotype of red-haired people is different. Gingers are yet again mocked — we’ve all heard the whole “gingers don’t have a soul” phenomena. Now I’ll be honest, I don’t know anyone who literally hates gingers. I do know a huge portion of my acquaintances constantly mock them and always makes the excuse “It’s because they’re a ginger.” Someone enlighten me how your hair color contributes to your personality flaws. Last time I checked, the genetics that define complexion doesn’t factor into one’s character traits. I could be wrong here, but I’m sure that the hue of your hair is not directly linked to your soul. Gingers are becoming the new dumb blondes of this generation. This is nothing more than society’s passive aggressive attempt to single out a minority with different aesthetic attributes than the norm. You no doubt hear this ginger reference constantly, yet you’ll hardly hear someone point out how ridiculous this whole stereotype is. Everyone seems to just go with it, rather than trump up an answer for why. Of course, nobody wants to be “that guy” who stands up for the underdog, and typically when these references are used, it’s in a totally joking way. Perhaps you might say, it’s better for people to stereotype and mock because of something silly like hair color, rather than marginalizing someone for their skin color. Is it really any better to make fun of someone’s hair color instead of their skin color? They’re both uncontrollable physical features. Even still, the large part of people mocking gingers are in fact making fun of their skin complexion as well, so really you can’t say they’re not mocking them for their skin color too. It’s essentially the same thing: taking physical appearances and directly attributing them to a reason to be disliked and mocked. This fixation on making fun of gingers needs to fade away. — Ashley Reid is a journalism sophomore. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.
Pulse of the Pac
This past week we talked about recognizing the fall season in Tucson, KY jelly marketing to lesbian couples and the influence of Greek Life on ASUA. At the same time the rest of the Pac-12 offered their take on general education courses, the Occupy movement and prostitution. Stanford Daily Stanford University

Although the GERs (general education requirements) fall under criticism, the theory underlying their existence — that values a liberal education, or an education involving study in all the major subfields — is sound. Although a liberal education might once have been valued for the purpose of educating the future elite in upper-class social norms, such as an understanding of Greek, in the 21st Century a more practical justification is in order. There are at least two such justifications. One is that, in exposing all students to a wide range of fields, requiring a liberal education can help students find new intellectual passions. Given that many Stanford students ultimately major in something completely different from what they originally intended, this benefit cannot be ignored. However, we must also justify the liberal education for those students who are completely certain of their major and future career. A common question asked by critiques of a liberal education goes something like this: Why should an English major, dead set on writing for a living, need to take classes in math, science and engineering? … We are entering a workforce and society where having knowledge in just one field will not suffice. The National Academy of Engineering, for instance, recognizes the importance of a liberal education … In an increasingly technology-dependent world, it is important that those majoring in the humanities and social sciences have college-level exposure to math, science and engineering if their major does not already require it.
The Occupy movement seemed to start out strong. Over in New York, it had a solid mission statement and passionate people, the key to any productive protest. I understood what they argued for, and thought, “Yeah, OK, I can see what they’re upset about.” And then the media got a hold of it, as did the bandwagon hoppers…The movement turned into the next “cool” thing. I think that people saw the passion and drive of the first Occupiers over at Wall Street and thought, “Hey, if I go over there and do what they’re doing, maybe I could be as passionate as them.” Wrong. Others thought, “My cause needs that much attention too, so I’ll just head over and get my signs in the way,” which just confused viewers even more. So congratulations, America. You have messed it up. You took a thing that was really trying to make a difference and made it into your own banana stand. I don’t think anything can be done anymore. I think that the idea has gotten so muddled up that there cannot be any recovery. The Occupy movement has turned into more of a fad than anything, leading the rest of the public to see occupiers as second graders petitioning to get longer lunch periods.
The debate regarding the legalization of prostitution is a complex one. Sex is a socially sensitive issue and a private matter, so when debates start about the legalization of the solicitation of sex, things are bound to get heated … The problem with this discussion is that both arguments are based on an existing and continuing patriarchal, economically unequal, violent society that doesn’t allow for complete freedom and choice. Now, I realize there are male prostitutes, and not all sexual abuse is directed at women by men. However, in a majority of cases, it is men that sexually abuse women and children (85 percent of domestic violence victims are women according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence), and a large majority of prostitutes are women. My analysis of the issue is largely based on those generalities … When people discuss the right to choose to pay for sex, it seems like they ignore the woman’s right to choose to have sex in exchange for payment. Obviously by participating, the prostitute is making a decision, and in that sense, it is their choice … I’m sure there are prostitutes who choose this lifestyle freely and enjoy their work, this just isn’t the case the majority of the time. But to effectively debate the legalization — “Occupy movement should change of prostitution, we must discuss the many approach” by Branden Andersen social problems that often force women into prostitution: poverty, sexual violence, childhood abuse and coercion. — “Considering the legalization of prostitution” by Sean Tipton

Tucson Fiction Project presents “2m, 2f: A Perfectly Ordinary Evening of Theatre” tonight and Saturday in Room 100 of the Social Sciences building at 7 p.m. All of the one-act plays are written, produced and performed by students.

Daily Wildcat
m, 2f: A Perfectly Ordinary Evening of Theatre” will turn out to be a not so ordinary evening.
With hallucinating characters, dramatic love affairs, and even a play done backwards, these comical one-acts will leave the audience simultaneously entertained and intrigued. “They are complex, interesting and very impressive for being short one-acts,” said Arielle Cardona, a junior studying creative writing and communication who stars in the plays. “They make you question your life choices and makes you learn, but only if you let yourself,” Cardona said. Tucson Fiction Project, a student club created last school year, will showcase these three brand-new, never-beforeseen one-acts written, produced and performed by students. Club creators Michael Weingartner, a junior studying creative writing, molecular and cellular biology, and ecology and evolutionary biology, and media arts major Logan Smith will show students just how far their creativity can take them. Free for everyone, each 20-minute one-act was written by Weingartner at a different point in his life, but after putting them together, he realizes they are all related. A Q&A forum will follow the performance each night. The panel of directors, playwright, and performers hopes to generate discussion about the process of the play and production
development as well as hear feedback about the plays. Weingartner also hopes the Q&A will lead other students to produce their own productions and screenplays through the Tucson Fiction Project club. The club is dedicated to student actors, filmmakers, producers, writers, musicians and creative minds alike and is about taking ideas and getting them produced and published in any way possible. “It’s all about getting writers together and creating new work,” he said. Weingartner said he was told by the student provost and film and theater department when he first discussed the start of Tucson Fiction Project that “no one has ever done something like this.” Weingartner and Smith hope the Tucson Fiction Project, supported mainly by the Honors College, will inspire more playwrights, directors, and actors and prove that a there is a vehicle to showcase what they have created. “In a real sense, this project stands for the fact that it doesn’t take the resources of an entire department or theater company. It’s a small way of doing something big,” Weingartner said. For Smith, “it’s all about making theater instead of doing theater.” Students can’t just be creative, they need to actually create. Just because you
can’t find a club with your interests or the school doesn’t provide anything for you, doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Be a trailblazer and others will join, Smith said. “There is no excuse,” he said. “Get involved. If you love it, go do it.”
Whitney Wilkening, founder of a successful highend costume jewelry company, proves that with determination, a business strategy and UA spirit, anything is possible. Wilkening’s company, Bling by Wilkening, was created in 2007 with the help of professors. As a retailing and consumer sciences major, Wilkening used her knowledge to develop a company based on outstanding quality, great price and charity. “It was really exciting to put into practice what I learned every day in class and now I’m doing it full time,” Wilkening said. The New York-based Bling by Wilkening is featured in the glass case in the UofA Bookstore and has graced the covers of Tucson Bride and Groom magazine and Valley Social Luxury Magazine. The company also pairs with showrooms in Brazil, England and New York to showcase fashions three to six months before other shows. The popular, semiprecious jewelry, however, is most known for its involvement with Kleinfeld Bridal. Kleinfeld, featured on TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress,” has been carrying Bling by Wilkening pieces since March. Wilkening was invited back to the UA for Homecoming weekend to help raise money for the Future Retail Leaders Scholarship Fund and the Office of Student Affairs Scholarship. “I bleed red and blue as an alumnus and I am really excited to be able to come back and do this,” Wilkening said. The jewelry cases will feature pieces priced from about $29 to $65 with UA student and staff discounts.

The Plays:
“Surreal for Breakfast”: “When a beleaguered housewife suspects her husband of an affair, she brings it up with her own lover, a handsome and charming man who just so happens to look strangely like her husband. Love, marriage, kids and betrayal are all explored in this hilarious absurdist suburban farce.” “Everybody is Blake Hamilton”: “When Kyle is forced to meet his ex-girlfriend’s perfect new boyfriend Blake, things go from bad to worse when, suddenly, every man on the planet begins to look and sound just like Blake Hamilton. Watch Kyle struggle to overcome his past, his insecurities and his mental breakdown in this fast-paced psychological comedy.” “The Backwards Play”: “A romantic comedy told in reverse, this play follows two strange couples as they explore relationships, language, pop culture and just how difficult it can be sometimes to move forward in life.”
Q&A
Where science and creative writing collide By Jazmine Woodberry Daily Wildcat
The editors of the quarterly journal Creative Nonfiction chose two winning essays from a competitive pool of nearly 200 contest submissions — one of them was Chester Phillips’ “Heroes and Consequences: On Masculinity and Redemptive Violence in American Culture.” A tale of his teenage sister’s rape — and his struggle with taking his own revenge in the situation — is a commentary on American culture, particularly regarding men. “From the Old Testament ‘eye for an eye’ to action movies, the scripts had been written out for us to follow,” Phllips’ essay reads. “We started making plans to go after Andy.” After writing the story as a master’s student in creative nonfiction, the doctoral student studying arid land resource sciences urges people to take heart from the message of his essay, and the path he’s chosen for his career. Daily Wildcat: What is the essay about? Chester Phillip: This essay is about a time in my life when I was tempted toward revenge because of family trauma. In American culture, we’re taught, when someone you love is hurt, what are you supposed to do? Go after them. We see it in countless movies, book, all over TV. Again and again, we see the stories and then it’s a revenge story — but in real life, revenge might not be the thing that brings peace or healing.

GAME FREAK
Bottoms up: Enjoying the football game, win or lose positive attitude back to the special teams. So, when Bonano’s kick is good, celebrate with a shot.
Jason Krell DAILY WILDCAT
A
s with everything this week, today’s focus is on Homecoming. There are many games played during this spirited time, but the most important one is the Arizona football game. With so many alumni returning for it and the high volume of students in the ZonaZoo, not everyone can get in. Well, fear not, in lieu of getting to experience the game, there is a way to spice up watching it from home. The method referred to is, of course, a drinking game — because in college, everything is a drinking game, right? This Arizona drinking game is a frequent occurrence during away games among friends, so why not share the joy with everyone? There are the basics, like drinking after every scoring drive, interception or fourth down conversion, but every team needs its special rules. Of course, sadly — for the game, not the team — two of the biggest reasons for Arizona fans to drink are no longer around. Yes, now that Mike Stoops has been replaced with interim head coach Tim Kish, no one can take a shot every time the camera turns to him and he’s angry. So much alcohol will go without being consumed. Then there’s former starting kicker, Alex Zendejas. It used to work that whenever he missed a kick, everyone finished their drink. Now we have John Bonano who makes every PAT and field goal. What a jerk, right? He’s totally killing the buzz.
TIRED OF THE DESERT HEAT? THE DAILY WILDCAT WILL COOL YOU OFF.
Worry not though, fellow Wildcats. There are still plenty of predictable habits which can be used to drink — here they are: Drink every time Kish doesn’t overreact to a penalty call: So this might be confusing, but a bit of an explanation should clear it up. To start, think about what would happen if a penalty was called on Arizona while Stoops was the head coach. Without fail, he would lose his shit and go red in the face. Whether he yelled at the ref or the players, someone received his ire. Kish is more reserved and level headed. He takes the bad calls in stride, and when they’re warranted he just shrugs them off, or so it seems. Regardless, the thing to keep in mind is this: when a penalty is called that would have set Stoops off, but Kish stays cool, take a shot. Use your best judgment, but when in doubt, take one anyway. Couldn’t hurt. Drink every time Bonano makes a kick: For most teams, the kicker making a short range field goal, or even a PAT, is not a momentous occasion. For the Wildcats, however, it’s cause for uproarious celebration. After all, for the past two years, Arizona fans have had to bite their collective nails every time a kick needed to happen. In the past fans adapted and just used the misses as an excuse to drink, but now it’s time to bring that
Drink every time Nick Foles makes an improbable pass: The entire Wildcat fan base should know by now that Foles makes some unbelievable passes. It doesn’t happen every game, but when they do occur, they’re a thing of beauty. So, to treasure the moment, every time Foles makes the play when lesser quarterbacks wouldn’t, drink. For those unsure, this includes events like making a pass while being tackled, throwing the ball with his left hand (he’s a righty) or threading the ball right past multiple defenders. Again, like the Kish rule, use your best judgment. Finish your drink if Arizona wins: Hell, finish two drinks. This one is pretty easy to understand. Arizona’s record is far from stellar, sitting at a measly 2-6. Homecoming games are supposed to be sure things, but the way the team has been playing, don’t be so sure. Utah is a pretty solid team this year, so it could give the Wildcats a run for their money. However, should Arizona pull out the W, go nuts. Not only does it mean further redemption for a team that should be much better than it is, it means the team can still go to a bowl game, which is good. So, in honor of that, shotgun a beer, pound some shots — do whatever feels necessary to make sure this momentous occasion isn’t forgotten. Just be safe, everyone. The team already has enough injuries as it is — it doesn’t need the fans to suffer too. — Jason Krell is a junior studying creative writing and Italian. He can be reached at arts@wildcat.arizona.edu.
wanna play Farmville, I just wanna play for real” shouldn’t be OK. Maybe band members are wisely playing the viral marketing card á la Rebecca Black, or on a more frightening note, they’re being serious. Heart2Heart and its media buzz wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for mass-produced pop hits being churned out by more notable influences. Granted, it takes initial talent to get noticed, but it makes me cringe to think of what brought these guys into Lance Bass’ office, as it sure wasn’t a 12-year-old’s Youtube videos. We need a change. We need to recognize talent by a songwriter’s ability, by their ability to make an arena feel like a club and to make a club feel like a party. We need to keep our thumbs on the pulses of independent labels and back

I’m not going to scream about vinyl, or about recycled paper covers with local artwork, but I’ll say that there needs to be a shift of mindset toward the raw talent in teeth-cutting artistry and away from artists who rely on 30-some songwriters and excessive Pro Tools doctoring to create an album.

hen Casanova toured the UA for the first time in the hopes of getting away from her hometown of Lubbock, Texas, she was immediately impressed by its beauty and spirited atmosphere. “As I came on campus I knew it was the right place for me,” she said. Casanova began in the nursing program, but now she is majoring in psychology. Her minor is in special education and rehabilitation. Throughout her career at the UA, Casanova has participated in various campus organizations including SMORES Sophomore Honorary and Chain Gang Junior Honorary. She is the president of Chi Omega sorority. One of Casanova’s role models is British author J.K Rowling. Casanova said she admires Rowling for her creativity, intelligence and determination. “She is not afraid to be who she is,” Casanova said. “She’s come from nothing and she’s made such a success story.” Once she leaves the UA, Casanova plans to apply to graduate school and pursue a career in occupational therapy.

he Homecoming queen is a symbol of tradition at the UA. This year, 33 applicants competed to be named Arizona’s most spirited, most dedicated, most involved lady Wildcat, said Charlie Spector, queen selection co-chair of the Bobcats Senior Honorary. The honor of representing the UA student body is awarded at the end of nearly a two-month process of nominations, applications and interviews. The Bobcats Senior Honorary is in charge of crowning Homecoming royalty. According to Spector, clubs started nominating candidates in September and Homecoming queen applications were due Oct. 5. Since applying, candidates have been participating in social mixers and going to interviews to help the judges get to know them. The honorary is looking for “someone who can show what the University of Arizona is all about,” Spector said. The first cut was made at 15 candidates. From there, the judges selected the five final candidates who would make up the Homecoming court. Choosing only five nominees was no easy task, Spector said. “It’s hard because all the girls are so qualified,” he said. “We’re just very impressed with those seniors that represent our school.” This week, the final five participated in various Homecoming events like the lighting of “A” Mountain and club olympics. Each candidate campaigned among different UA organizations, hoping to garner support before the elections on Wednesday and Thursday. Votes are in and suspense is mounting as the UA waits for the announcement of this year’s Homecoming royalty at tonight’s bonfire. Which of these seniors will wear the crown?
rowing up, Larson came to Tucson often to visit her grandparents. She fell in love with the warm weather and the sunny UA campus and decided to leave Spokane, Wash., to make the UA her new home. Now, Larson is the president of Gamma Phi Beta sorority and a student employee at UA Mobile. She’s majoring in family studies and human development, and said she hopes to work with families and nonprofit organizations in the future. Soon, Larson will find out if she has been accepted to the Teach For America program, which would allow her to be a teacher for two years and help pay for her master’s degree in education. Larson said she feels honored to be a part of the UA’s Homecoming tradition. “This is the one time of the year when we can have our past, present and future Wildcats together,” she said. For Larson, the Homecoming queen should be “someone who loves Arizona and will continue to have the spirit of the U of A no matter where she ends up.”

with Stouffer at Princeton. “I wrote several papers with Ron (Stouffer) when I was at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton, so we worked together for years,” Russell said. “It’s such a delight, such an honor to have him come out here. He’s one of the top three most cited climate scientists in the world.” According to Russell, Stouffer has been cited more than 20,000 times in articles regarding climate change research. Yin also spoke highly of Stouffer’s work. “Ron is a leading climate scientist over the world,” Yin said. “He published many seminal papers, groundbreaking papers on climate and
climate change, so we are very happy to have him here to … talk about his latest progress in this field.” On a university level, several have said that Stouffer’s visit simply adds to the UA’s reputation as a leading institution in the field of climate change research. Jonathan Overpeck, co-director of the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth, referred to the changes happening everywhere “else in the United States outside of Alaska.” “The University of Arizona’s got a huge commitment to helping society deal with this climate change, and that doesn’t mean telling people what to do, it means understanding the problem, what it means for the future, and coming up with choices for the decision makers,” Overpeck said. “So for us, it’s very important to get the very best people in the world on climate to visit with our people to really bring solutions

awsey left her hometown of Shavertown, Pa., for the UA’s prestigious dance program. “It was between here and a school in Pittsburg, and the school in Pittsburg was a one-building school, it was a conservatory. So, I chose the football team and the school spirit over that one building in Pittsburg,” she said. She is a member of Sigma Kappa sorority and Dancers’ Consortium, a student-run organization that seeks to create community within the dance department. She also dances on the UA’s Pom Line Dance Team. During her junior year, Dawsey served as the UA’s mascot, Wilma Wildcat. Next semester, she will start auditioning for jobs on cruise ships. Her goal is to someday play a Disney princess and travel the world in the entertainment business. Dawsey said her grandmother played a significant role in her life by radiating optimism and maintaining in a passion for living. “I just hope I am like her when I’m older — fun and always happy … I want a lot of people to be a part of my life,” she said. Like many other former Wilma Wildcats, Dawsey hopes to return to the UA next year to support Arizona. “Bleed red and blue,” she said.

lasby is from Scottsdale and has always been a devoted Wildcat, she said. As an elementary education major, Clasby volunteers and takes methods courses at L M Prince Elementary School, where she works with fourth-grade students. Beyond the classroom, Clasby is the president of Alpha Phi sorority and a member of the Order of Omega, a greek leadership honor society. Sigma Chi fraternity chose Clasby to represent its chapter’s values as the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi, as well. The Homecoming queen is not just “outgoing and personable,” Clasby said. She embodies tradition, gets involved with the student body and supports the university. “There’s spirit involved in it. Being nominated and considered, it just shows that we just embrace what U of A has to offer,” she said. Clasby attributes much of her success to her grandmother, who supported each of Clasby’s endeavors from cheerleading in high school to leading her sorority. Looking ahead, Clasby plans to stay in Arizona and hopes to begin her teaching career within the next year.
ven though she’s originally from Phoenix, Tirendi said choosing between Arizona State University and the UA was an easy decision. She became involved with the UA community immediately as a member of Freshman Class Council. Then, in her junior year, Tirendi participated in Chain Gang Junior Honorary. Now, she is a member of the Club & Organization Standards Board and the Eller Board of Honor and Integrity. Because she is not involved in Greek Life and she commits much of her time to working outside of school, Tirendi said she was surprised by her nomination. She said she is proud to represent more traditional UA students and bring more diversity to the Homecoming court. Tirendi is studying business economics, Spanish and Portuguese. Once she graduates, she said she hopes to secure a job in investing or consulting. She is currently searching for opportunities outside the United States, particularly in Brazil. Tirendi said the role of Homecoming queen is not only a great honor, but a commitment to continuing the traditions of the university. “I feel like it’s already my responsibility to come back for Homecoming every year,” she said. “I feel like it’s a lifelong thing for sure.”
to Arizona.” The presentation discussed a range of topics, including the history of climate and weather research, how climate models work and what kind of simulations are conducted. The talk later shifted to the warming trend that the planet has been experiencing, the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases and the likelihood of it all being caused by humans. “Human activities are likely to be the cause of warming over the last 100 years on each of the continents,” Stouffer said while referencing a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. On the topic of climate change politics, Stouffer has said he is a scientist, first and foremost. “My job, as I see it, is to inform people what the
climate community knows and doesn’t know,” he said. “I believe that is part of the political process to figure out what should be done about it as a result. I tend to be very stringent in trying to communicate what’s known and not known about climate change.” As for the importance of his research, Stouffer said climate change affects everybody, primarily in future generations. “The decisions we make today don’t necessarily impact us directly,” he added. “Humans are the cause of a lot of the climate changes we see, and it’s an intergenerational issue. The gasoline we burn and the fuel we use to heat our houses today will be causing warming for our kids and our grandchildren through the course of their life. Climate change is something that’s going to impact the planet.”

Police Beat By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat
Autocrat, auto-crime
We’ve got you CovereD
A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the Architecture building at 8:20 a.m. on Monday in response to vandalism. The officer met with a Facilities Management employee, who reported that an electrical box on the southwest side of the building had been tagged with a stenciled, black spray-painted image that resembled the artist Chuck Close, the officer noted. Below the portrait was the word “autocrat.” An identical image was found on a metal cylinder storage tank on the east side of the building. The employee said there had been no damage, when the area was last chekced on Oct. 28. The officer photographed the damage. Victim’s rights forms were mailed to the UA.
Vandalized vending machine A UAPD officer went to the Education building at 7:40 a.m. on Monday in response to a damaged vending machine. The vending machine, operated by Tomdra Vending Machines, was located under a ramada with other machines and had contained milk and snacks. The three glass safety panes were broken open and the items inside were stolen. The moneybox was still intact. The officer contacted a Tomdra serviceman. The serviceman examined the machine and was unable to find any evidence showing how the vending machine was broken into. The total value of the items taken from the machine was $57 and the cost to replace the glass was $205. The officer photographed the damage and the machine was repaired.
CatCard swiped from Rec Center A UAPD officer went to the Student Recreation Center at 8 p.m. on Monday. The officer met with a man who reported that his bag had been stolen from an unsecured locker. He found the bag in a bathroom stall in the men’s locker room of the center, but his CatCard was missing. The man checked his bag, car, wallet and the lost and found but he was unable to find his CatCard. He said he did not see anyone take his bag. There are no suspects or witnesses.
An angel got her wings and flew away A UAPD officer spoke with a graduate student over the phone at 2:20 p.m. on Monday about property stolen from Esquire Apartments. The woman reported that between Oct. 28 and Monday, someone had stolen a sculpture of an angel from outside a common hallway. She said the sculpture had been there for several years. There are no surveillance cameras in the area. There are no suspects or witnesses. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Into the wild: Taming horses So you like horseback riding? What is your favorite thing about horses? They’re just very trainable animals. And that’s very interesting to me because, well, imagine trying to tame a wild animal like a bear or something. Did you hear about that guy who lived with a bear for a long time? Yes, I have. He was … didn’t he get eaten eventually? Yes, he did. That’s exactly the lesson there. Is there any of that sort of danger with horses? Well, since horses are herbivores, I don’t think so. But you know, you might get kicked or thrown off.

Arizona hosts Utah as bowl hopes grow slim Wildcats must win four straight games to gain bowl eligibility By Alex Williams DAILY WILDCAT
JANICE BIANCAVILLA / DAILY WILDCAT
Wide receiver Gino Crump warms up before Arizona’s game against Stanford on Sept. 17. Crump is looking forward to the challenges that Utah’s man-coverage schemes will present.
Time is running out for Arizona. The Wildcats (2-6, 1-5 Pac-12 Conference) have to win each of their remaining four games to gain bowl eligibility, starting Saturday at 4 p.m. when Arizona hosts Utah at Arizona Stadium. But even though Arizona faces long odds in trying to reach a bowl game, safety Robert Golden said he doesn’t feel the pressure mounting. “We take it one game at a time, not looking at what we’ve got ahead of us,” Golden said. “We just want to beat Utah and keep it going. It’s just going to take one game at a time and see where we end up at the end.” A board with Arizona’s schedule on it hangs on the fence in the Jimenez Practice Facility and illustrates Golden’s mindset. Every game is blocked out by black tape, except for the one being played that week. Wide receiver Gino Crump said the turmoil that Arizona has faced in the recent weeks has forced the Wildcats to focus more on the task directly in front of them. “We’re just hyped and ready to finish the season off strong,” Crump said. “I think a lot of times early in the season, we were thinking about too many things that were far ahead instead of just focusing on the task at hand.” Utah (4-4, 1-4) enters Saturday’s game with the conference’s No. 12-ranked offense, racking up just over 306 yards per game while being led by backup quarterback Jon Hays, whom Golden described as “struggling.” But Hays will try to air it out against a secondary missing starting cornerback Shaquille Richardson for the second straight week. Richardson was suspended for last week’s game at Washington and will miss the Utah game with a sprained ankle that he suffered in practice. Nickelback Jourdon Grandon will likely slide into Richardson’s spot on the defense, while freshman Tra’Mayne Bondurant will play the nickel spot vacated by Grandon. “We’ve had (Grandon) and Lyle (Brown) competing all week,” interim head coach Tim Kish said. “I think they’ll both play some.” As ineffective as the Utah offense has been at times, the Utes have the Pac-12’s No. 2 scoring

ANALYSIS
Arizona, Utah on opposite ends of the offensive spectrum By Dan Kohler DAILY WILDCAT
Arizona can keep its bowl hopes alive with a win against the Utah Utes on Saturday at Arizona Stadium. With a 1-5 Pac-12 record for the Wildcats and 1-4 conference run for the Utes. Let’s take a look at how the offense will unfold for both sides:
Comparing the pass Arizona’s passing numbers are light years ahead of Utah’s, with quarterback Nick Foles and the Wildcats ranking third in the nation with 375.6 passing yards per game. Foles’ maturity, combined with his accuracy, makes him one of the most lethal quarterbacks in the country. He’ll be able to find an open man, regardless of the Utes having the No. 3 pass defense in the Pac-12. Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham knows his secondary will have their hands full against Foles this weekend. “He has an excellent touch on the football,” Whittingham told the media in a press
conference in Salt Lake City on Monday. “He doesn’t try to gun the ball all over, but he has a great feel to put the ball where receivers will be open. That’s a great attribute for a quarterback.” Utah’s passing game lies at the other end of the spectrum. The Utes rank 100th out of 120 in the nation in passing yards per game. Starting quarterback Jordan Wynn went down with a shoulder injury on Oct. 1 against Washington and after undergoing surgery will have to sit on the bench for the rest of the season. Backup quarterback Jon Hays has struggled in his adjustment so far, throwing only 692 yards for five touchdowns in four and a half games since taking over for Wynn. Hays also has also thrown seven interceptions — in two games against Arizona State and Cal, he threw three each. Despite Hays’ struggles, Whittingham remains confident in his improvement. “He did make progress (against Oregon State) in the way that he managed the offense and made decisions,” Whittingham said. “He took care of the football, which is job number one on offense.”

Running into trouble Despite the Pac-12 being known as a quarterback-loaded conference, it also features an array of talented running backs, and Utah’s John White IV is averaging 114 yards per game, good enough for third in the conference. That’s bad news for the Wildcat defense as its track record has been anything but stellar against the premier backs in the conference. It let running backs from Oklahoma State, Stanford, Oregon and Oregon State set career highs in rushing yards. Washington’s Chris Polk dismantled the Wildcats last weekend scoring five touchdowns. He became the first player in school history to record over 100 rushing and receiving yards in the same game. Despite White’s capabilities, Arizona safety Robert Golden isn’t ready to compare him to the conference elite. “I won’t give him too much credit of (calling him) LaMichael James,” Golden said when asked which running back White reminds him of. “But he’s a real good scat back.”
HOOPS
Miller wary of season opener Head coach looking for day-to-day improvement By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT
In early November of last season Arizona held a closed scrimmage against Utah, and the Utes played without starting center Jason Washburn and starting power forward Jay Watkins. The Wildcats won by only five points. “I think that if you look at Utah’s season a year ago, it’s almost hard to believe that a team with 30 wins in late October, early November played Utah an even match,” said UA head coach Sean Miller. “We just got better by leaps and bounds.” Arizona went on to go 30-8 and make an Elite Eight run in the 201011 season while Utah finished the year 13-18, missing both the NCAA Tournament and the NIT. Although this year’s Wildcats are a new team with a much lower starting point, they’re hoping to mirror that progression from last season. Seattle Pacific and Humboldt State were this year’s Utah. The competitive Division II programs pushed Arizona’s buttons and exposed its weak points, something Miller thinks will help the Wildcats down the road. “To me, they allow us to really learn the most about our own team and get better,” Miller said. “As we approach Monday, I’m glad that we played both teams and I think we all recognized that our starting point isn’t very high.” The Seattle Pacific loss was an eyeopener to Arizona’s freshmen after a glitzy and glamorous Red-Blue Game. The Humboldt State squeaker proved as a wake-up call to Arizona’s underperforming leaders. “I think it helped us. Going against these teams put us in the right mindset coming off the Red-Blue Game,” said senior forward Jesse Perry. “A lot of guys felt confident, like we really did something, which we didn’t. I definitely think these two games helped us for the long run.” Miller knew the Wildcats would miss forward Derrick Williams and guard Momo Jones. He knew it would take time for the freshmen to develop. But these two games showed him exactly where Arizona is and have given him an idea of how to put the pieces to the puzzle together as far as his line-ups are concerned. “These two opportunities and 15 practices, I think we as a staff have a much clearer direction on what we have to do to be successful,” Miller said. “After the game we all realized, ‘Uh oh, we have to get a lot better.’” Miller said he’s “incredibly not comfortable” about where the Wildcats are as they prepare to host Valparaiso on Monday, and he can’t be happy with his team’s deficiencies as the season opener creeps closer. But maybe the Seattle Pacific game will serve the same purpose that last season’s Utah game did. Maybe the Wildcats have been woken up. “I know that we’re not that good, and we have to get better. We’re going to get better, we are,” Miller said. “Maybe down the line when it comes together, we’ll look back at our starting point and say, ‘Boy, we’ve really come a long way.’ That’s our goal right now.”

Coach makes sure W-hoops stays visible By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
In just three years, Niya Butts has transformed Arizona women’s basketball into a winning program that reaches out to the public. On top of intense practice schedules and sometimes demanding academics, the Wildcats make community involvement a priority. So far this season, the program has hosted a movie night, Little Dribblers, multiple “meet and greet” events and started a mentoring program with Prince Chapel AME Church of Tucson. The head coach has also made private and public appearances throughout the city, including her most recent talk last Thursday to a group of UA journalism students where she spoke about her journey to success. “For me, I just think it’s better to be out there,” Butts said. “If you want people to get behind something you’re doing, what better way to do it than to show your face. It doesn’t take a lot of money to do, it takes time, and that’s the one thing we do have and I’m willing to give.” Butts said there’s a bigger emphasis on making a connection with people rather than advertising to them. “I’m not asking Arizona to come up with $400 to 500,000 to put on our marketing plan,” she said. “But what we do want is to make sure people know that they can connect with us and that I’m not only sitting in my office saying, ‘I hope people come to the game.’ I’m willing to get out there and do whatever I can to make sure that our program gets out there.” Butts’ inspiration stems from her mother, who she describes as a very selfless person.
“But what we do want is to make sure people know . . . that I’m not only sitting in my office saying, ‘I hope people come to the game.’”
— Niya Butts Arizona women’s basketball coach
“I think we are all a product in some way, shape or form, of our environment — the way we were brought up and what we’ve seen over time,” Butts said. “I like being around people, talking to people, making people feel good and I like the difference you can make in peoples’ lives.”
A new partnership Sometimes a requested appearance can lead to a greater and more meaningful venture for Butts. Depending on the circumstances, she’ll latch onto an organization and want to be as involved as possible, she said. That’s exactly what happened with her newfound relationship with Prince Chapel AME Church of Tucson. Last year, the Wildcats spent a lot of time with the Boys and Girls Club, but they could never call the philanthropy their own. “It’s actually something I wanted to do for awhile,” Butts said. “In terms of our team, we do a lot of things where people request us to come out into the community, but in terms of something we owned, I wanted our girls to be able to connect with something — to have personal relationships with these kids.” The opportunity arrived when a friend invited her to church one morning at Prince. Despite already having its own youth group,
the church created a partnership with Butts. “I though it would be great, because a lot of those young kids, even though they live in Tucson, have never been on a college campus,” Butts said. “I figure if we could expose them to different things and talk about different things, it can make a difference and inspire some of them.” Vianna Turner, the church’s secretary, has two younger siblings in the program. “The kids love it,” Turner said. “They always are excited when they come back from events.” Now, many of the children want to become famous basketball players, Turner added. Last month, Butts and the team took a group of kids on a tour of McKale Center, which included a guest appearance by the team’s strength and conditioning coach, Brian Odom. He had planned to show the kids some moves, but that itinerary quickly changed when the kids first stepped into the athletes’ weight room. “As soon as they got into the weight room, their eyes lit up and they didn’t care about anything anybody had to say,” Butts said. “They were in awe. We would have been ruining the moment had we tried to sit them down. It’s just amazing, because we see it every day and I think a lot of our players witnessing that understand better now the opportunity they’re afforded.” And there lies another underlying goal Butts has for the team’s program. “It’s not only for the youth and the group that’s in the mentoring program, but it’s for our kids as well,” Butts said, “because I think we all are getting something out of it.”
UA closes exhibition slate Women’s hoops hosts Grand Canyon in final preseason tune-up By Zach Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat
The Arizona women’s basketball team handily defeated Western State College 73-56 in Wednesday’s first exhibition game despite a sluggish first half, and it will try to work out the rest of the kinks when it faces Grand Canyon University on Sunday at 4 p.m. Though these first two contests are exhibitions, head coach Niya Butts said there’s much to be learned in playing outside of practice. “I count exhibitions,” Butts said. “To me they’re all opportunities to play against someone who is not affiliated with Arizona.” Against Western State, the Wildcats committed 28 turnovers and shot a lowly 17-of32 from the free throw line. Those are a few stats that certainly can’t recur going forward. “I think a little more than half of those were unforced. We were just making careless errors with the basketball,” Butts said.
“Our turnovers, they killed us, and our free throw shooting … that’s a lot of points we’re leaving on the board.” Butts said that without all of those mistakes, the Wildcats could have scored as many as 100 points, and if the team can cut back on the turnovers and make its shots from the charity stripe, they will be better off. “We should knock down free throws, and we should take better care of the basketball and if we do that we’re going to be OK,” Butts said. Davellyn Whyte, the team’s leading returning scorer from last season, struggled with foul trouble in the first game and was unable to make a huge impact. Butts said she didn’t want to overwork her star player because there’s a long season ahead. “We don’t need anybody to force anything, and we weren’t going to try and leave her in and make her play the whole second half just because she missed the first half,” Butts said. “We understand we have another exhibition on Sunday, and her body takes a lot of pounding and we’re gonna need her throughout the year.” As for highly touted freshman center Aley Rohde, who tallied a double-double in her first game with 11 points and 10 rebounds, there is still room for improvement.
“There was a lot of things I could’ve done better. For a first game I got the feel of the game and it’s just uphill from here,” Rohde said. Rohde said that, going forward, she needed to work on “consistency, a strong base in the post and my defense, gambling and getting the right position on the post player.” Butts did not believe that the 6-foot-5 starting center performed as well as she could have, and coaches are emphasizing to Rohde that she needs to start using her height to her advantage. “We’re telling her, ‘You are huge. You’re going to be able to alter some things if you just play your position and stay low and keep your hands high,’” Butts said. Behind Rohde, Butts believes that one of the team’s biggest strengths will be rebounding, which is something they showed on Wednesday when Arizona outrebounded Western State 53 to 34. “We almost outrebounded them by 20,” Butts said. “Cheylene Harper got in and got four offensive rebounds just like that and that was good. We were able to get those rebounds to get another offensive opportunity. We gotta continue to do that the remainder of the season.”

commentary
Solomon Hill has to be the go-to guy Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat
N
o matter how important a balanced scoring attack may be, every team needs that one player to step up and make a play in crunch time. With the game on the line or the shot clock winding down, that go-to guy puts the team on his back. Derrick Williams was that guy last season. But with Williams now in the NBA fighting with owners over 1 percent of the NBA’s revenue, Arizona has no such player. Head coach Sean Miller preached balance and a deep rotation early in the season, but even he knows the Wildcats need someone to emerge as the go-to player. Miller said the only reason Arizona doesn’t have that player is because no one has emerged as the frontrunner. “A coach doesn’t anoint the go-to guy,” Miller said after the Wildcats defeated Humboldt State. “The player becomes the go-to guy. I never said to Derrick or the team, ‘Let’s make sure Derrick gets 20.’ He just got 20.” Arizona doesn’t have a Derrick Williams. There are no 20-point scorers on the roster. But taking age, experience and skill set into consideration, junior Solomon Hill must try. Sure, there are other options. Nick Johnson and Josiah Turner are probably the two most talented players on the roster. Johnson scored an effortless 18 against Seattle Pacific and Turner’s shown the ability to break anyone down on the perimeter at any given time. But it’s unfair to lean on a pair of freshmen, especially early in the season. So that leaves the veterans — Hill, Kyle Fogg and Jesse Perry. Miller said that the go-to guy will be situational. Sometimes it’s Fogg, sometimes it’s Hill and sometimes it’s Perry. But let’s be honest. Perry and Fogg are role players. Fogg is a deadly standstill shooter, a lockdown defender and a solid leader. He’ll drill an open triple, but he’s not a playmaker. The same goes for Perry. He’s a scrapper who can hit the occasional open jumper and attack the hoop all the way from the 3-point line. He’s not Derrick Williams in the paint. He isn’t a lightsout finisher and he plays below the rim. He does a nice job getting to the free throw line and plays as hard as anyone on the team. Williams had that it factor. Momo Jones had that it factor. Perry and Fogg simply don’t. So that leaves Hill. The 6-foot-6 small forward is full of talent. He can make plays in the post and break players down off the dribble. Plus, he’s played in his fair share of big games. Hill needs to be The Man, at least until Johnson or Turner develop more. He’s the only one with the experience and the talent to fill Arizona’s gaping hole. That role is Hill’s for the taking, but judging by his last performance against Humboldt State, he’s far from taking advantage of it. “A lot of guys talk about having and wanting a bigger role,” Miller said. “There it is. It’s like, ‘Man, Derrick Williams is gone, now I have the opportunity.’ He is gone and here’s the opportunity.” Will Hill capitalize on his chance? If not, Arizona is in trouble. — Mike Schmitz is a marketing senior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Volleyball hosts Oregon schools on heels of upset Beavers roll to Tucson on 3-game win streak, Ducks coming off split By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
The Arizona volleyball team (14-9, 6-8) will take on Oregon State tonight and No. 20 Oregon on Sunday, both in McKale Center. Last month, the Wildcats split in Oregon by beating the Beavers and falling to the Ducks. Oregon State is coming off of three consecutive wins, including an upset feat against Utah last weekend. Head coach Dave Rubio wasn’t surprised by the upset; the Beavers have made significant improvement since their first meeting with the Wildcats. “It doesn’t surprise me,” Rubio said. “We certainly can’t let our guard down when we play them.” For both the Wildcats and the Beavers, postseason implications are on the line. “They have a lot to play for,” he said. “I’m sure they still feel like they’re in a position for the playoffs, as we do. “Tonight is a pivotal match for

both of us,” Rubio added. “There’s a lot riding on the match for both programs.” As for Oregon, the Ducks split last weekend, defeating Colorado but falling to Utah — it was the first time this season the Ducks lost to an opponent that the Beavers didn’t. Rubio said his team has had a good week of practices and that the players are slowly but surely getting healthier. Tonight’s match starts at 8 p.m. and Sunday’s will start at noon.
Arizona to retire Kim Glass’ jersey
Arizona will retire former player Kim Glass’s jersey tonight during the Oregon State match. She is also being inducted into the UA Sports Hall of Fame. “The only retired jerseys are the players of the year recipients, and she was the Freshman Player of the Year during her first year here,” Rubio said. “From now until infinity, her jersey will be hanging from the rafters at McKale. It’s quite an honor.” Glass played outside hitter for

Rubio from 2002 until 2006. “She walked in my office yesterday and I hadn’t seen her since 2006 when she left,” Rubio said. “It was great to see her.” Glass earned multiple accolades at Arizona and still holds a handful of records for the program, and even for the conference — she is still the only Pac-10 player to get double-digit kills in every match. During her Wildcat career, she pummeled the kill record of 2,000, and established the current record of 2,151 kills. She also holds the record for service aces with 162 total.

defense, giving up 20.6 points per game, and the No. 1 defense in total yardage, allowing just over 325 yards per game. Crump said Utah’s pass defense is a little different than anything else the Wildcats will see in conference play because of the way that Utah’s cornerbacks will creep up close to the line of scrimmage and play physical man coverage. But even though the Ute defense brings a physicality that Arizona hasn’t seen this season, Crump said that the Wildcat receivers are ready for the challenge. “That’s what you want as a wide receiver,” Crump said. “For a guy to come man you up, pressure you, it’s mano a mano and that’s what this game’s about — just stepping up and proving who’s the best.”

Hockey home for 2, Swim hosts Wisconsin Hockey team to play Weber State this weekend The No. 23 Arizona hockey team takes on the Wildcats of Weber State at the Tucson Convention Center Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The UA will look to get over .500 for the first time this season, and ACHA Division II Weber State should provide a great opportunity to do just that. Although Arizona struggled during the start of the season, going 1-3-1 against all ranked opponents on the road, it has picked up its performance lately. The team split a road series against No. 8 Iowa State and then returned home to outscore Division II Texas by a combined score of 26-0 during its first series of the season at the TCC. While head coach Sean Hogan said Weber State should be more competitive, the team still feels confident going into the series. Weber State is 4-7-0 on the season with 6-2 and 4-1 losses to future Arizona opponent Colorado State, a team currently unranked in the ACHA Division I.
