New service aims to connect campus commuters YAZMINE MOORE Arizona Daily Wildcat

COURTESY OF ZIMRIDE

While a number of transportation programs are already available to the UA community, Parking and Transportation Services’ latest collaboration aims to connect car-less campus-goers with university affiliates headed in the same direction.

Starting at Zimride’s website, users can log on to the UA group section by providing their UA NetID and password.

From there, university affiliates can indicate the details of their commute, including time, place and whether they would like to function as a driver or a passenger.

Drivers can also indicate a dollar amount that they prefer

passengers to pay for each ride, with the idea being that passengers can shop around for the closest and cheapest drivers. The UA NetID and password requirement help ensure that only UA students, faculty and staff are using the service, which keeps the program safe, according to Alan Mamood, the senior office specialist for PTS. “It’s a safe way for U of A students, faculty and staff to connect with one another and carpool,” Mamood said. “It’s a great way for people to commute to campus on a daily basis or for students to catch a ride home for the holidays.”

Zimride has been working with PTS to promote the

Community welcomes Pres. Hart New university leader named ‘Wildcat for life’ at crowded student union ceremony STEPHANIE CASANOVA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Students, faculty, staff, community members and city and state-wide politicians gathered in the Student Union Memorial Center’s North Ballroom to welcome President Ann Weaver Hart and her husband Randy Hart to the UA for the first time after the start of the fall semester.

A series of speakers representing all areas of the university stepped up to the podium to welcome Hart and expressed their excitement to be working with her. Rick Myers, chair of the Arizona Board of Regents told the crowd that the board’s criteria when searching for a new UA president included someone who was a proven leader with broad experience, a team builder and someone with a strong desire to make Arizona a better place.

“We came to the realization that she fit this very well, but we had a bonus. And the bonus was, she’s a really nice person,” Myers said as the crowd chuckled.

Others who shared their excitement in having Hart at the UA included Sarah B. Smallhouse, chair-elect of the University of Arizona Foundation Board of Trustees, and Kellie Terhune Neely, a member of the UA Alumni Association Governing Board, who told Hart that she would be a Wildcat

for life. Alice Roe, chair of Campus Community Relations Committee said she looked forward to working with Hart to maintain a vibrant community.

“We continue to look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Hart and her administration for the good of the university and the community,” Roe said.

Hart also took the time to meet with guests before and after the program and conversed with them about a number of topics including the UA’s economic situation. Elected officials, according to Hart, said they understood the university’s struggles with state funding and offered their support to the university.

“They offered to help me in any way they could and we’re going to work together,” Hart said.

The 13 members of Bobcats Senior Honorary, a group of seniors selected based on “scholarship, leadership and university and community involvement,” according to the Bobcats’ website, surprised Hart with a “survival kit” which consisted of some tips on UA tradition, presents and comedic acting from the students.

“We have magic CatCards that are attached to bursar accounts,” said Michael Duval, a philosophy senior,

Marley helped fund UA, organized crime YARA ASKAR Arizona Daily Wildcat

While the UA’s Marley building serves as a namesake for a man whose foundation continues to financially support the UA, Kemper Marley also financed organized crime, and may have even been involved in the murder of a reporter who tried to expose him.

In 1990, the Marley building was constructed with money from the Kemper and Ethel Marley Foundation that dedicates private funding to support the growth of agricultural industries in Arizona.

Located on 1145 E. Fourth St., the building houses the College of Agriculture faculty offices and

research laboratories. The foundation supports work that enhances the ecological, economic and social viability of ranching.

The foundation was formed by Kemper Marley Sr. in 1990, shortly before his death. After his death, Ethel Marley, his wife, took presidency of the foundation until her death. Current family members now run the foundation.

The Marley family has a long agricultural past in Arizona, according to Randy Ryan, assistant director of the UA’s Agricultural Experiment Station.

“The Marley contribution allowed us to put in place roughly 25,000 square-feet of research space that we desperately needed,” Ryan said. “A lot of the science that is being done in that space is cutting-

edge research, such as pathology, entomology and plant sciences.”

With assets of more than $100 million, the foundation is one of the five largest philanthropic interests in Arizona, according to the Kemper and Ethel Marley Foundation site.

The foundation also benefits organizations that support community health and human services, enhancement and medical facilities and research.

“This research fosters and helps to better our science foundation for renewable fuels, reducing pesticide usage and inhaling agriculture production,” Ryan added. “That’s what their gift is translated into.”

program and reach out to different organizations on campus to let everyone within the UA community know about it’s availability.

“We love ridesharing and we want it to be an option for everyone, said Curtis Rogers, the national account managerfor Zimride. “UA will benefit both financially and socially with this new transportation option.”

Bill Davidson, the public information and marketing manager for PTS, said that since the beginning of the collaboration, the community has seen steady growth and is now at 850 members.

“I think it’s a great program for people who don’t have ways to get to where they’re going more frequently and with easy access,” said Harry Goralnik, a sophomore, studying political science and gender and women’s studies.

Despite the positive response, some students said they are still wary about the program’s safety.

“I personally wouldn’t use it, but I think it’s a good idea for students who don’t have any other way of getting home or getting to where they need to be,” said Rachel Kreisberg, a public health sophomore.

For some, a closer collaboration with the university would resolve many safety concerns.

“It sounds convenient,” said Megan Kettner, a sophomore studying speech, language and hearing sciences and special education and rehabilitation. “But I would feel more comfortable if it was promoted through Res Life so that the people I would be carpooling with are familiar.”

Kemper Marley was a powerful wholesale liquor businessman and had branches all over Arizona. He also financed an organized crime racing wire service for bookies that made it possible for organized criminals to gain information about racing news, according to an archived article published in a 1977 issue of the Eugene Register Guard newspaper in Oregon.

Marley’s activities drew the attention of local news in 1976 when Don Bolles, an investigative reporter for The Arizona Republic, was killed after a bomb that had been placed beneath his car exploded in the parking lot of a Phoenix motel. Max Dunlap, Marley’s multi-million dollar land-deal partner was accused of hiring Bolles’ killers and was later convicted of first-degree murder.

Marley was also named in a police testimony as the man who called for the killing of Bolles. Prosecutors said Bolles was killed because of his stories about Marley’s involvement in organized crimes and his liquor sale business.

as the crowd laughed. “So, Dr. Hart, I bursared you a MacBook Pro … and Mr. Hart, I bursared you an Xbox 360.”

Other gifts included sunglasses, a bottle opener for Mr. Hart and Muscle Milk and a protein bar.

Hart stepped up to the podium last and shared a couple of stories about her daughters’ UA pride when they found out their mother would be president. She talked about her daughter’s white water rafting trip, where she wore a red UA bikini top which she posted a picture of online for her mother.

“I don’t wear red bikini tops,” Hart said jokingly. “But Kimberly does and she’ll just have to hold down the fort.”

These stories, Hart said, hopefully exemplified how enthusiastic her family was to become a part of the UA community. Hart has four married daughters and eight grandchildren.

“It is an incredible honor to be able to join this tremendous team,” Hart said.

The president also talked about the future of the UA regarding its medical schools. The UA is one of only three universities to have two separately accredited medical schools the U.S., Hart said. Financing and advancing in academic medicine will be twice the challenge, she added.

“All the challenges that come with one are doubled with two,” Hart said.

approaches to medicine.”

Hart also talked about the importance of working together to make an integrated academic campus plan and a financial plan both come true. She also emphasized the importance of departments working together.

“We have to work together or we will fall apart,” Hart said.

A strong relationship between the UA and the Arizona Board of Regents is another priority on Hart’s list. She intends to maintain a strong relationship in order to create a long-range impact for Arizona’s higher education, she said.

Hart also addressed the need for funds to maintain athletic facilities and cited the leak in

McKale Center’s roof and sides as an example. Just eight weeks into her presidency, Hart has already compiled a list of 13 tasks that she intends to address.

“We will find ways to continually increase the effectiveness of shared governance at this great university,” Hart said. “And I promise you we will not be bored.”

While a number of Arizona’s state and county seats went to uncontested candidates in Tuesday’s primaries, many were fought for in voting booths throughout the state.

After replacing former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in June as the representative for Tucson’s District Eight in a win against Jesse Kelly, Ron Barber crushed Matt Heinz in the democratic primary for the newly renamed District Two, winning with just over 82 percent of the votes.

On the other side of the aisle, Republican Martha McSally won against Mark Koskiniemi with similar numbers and by nearly

the same margin.

“The last election was about the past,” McSally said during her party at an East Side Radisson hotel. “This election is about the future.”

The uncontested Democrat Richard Carmona will face Jeff Flake for the senate seat after Flake’s win over Wil Cardon, Clair Van Steenwyk and Bryan Hackbarth, taking nearly 70 percent of the votes.

After facing Amanda Aguirre and newcomer Manny Arreguin, Democrat and District Three incumbent Raúl Grijalva will face Republican Gabriela Saucedo Mercer and Libertarian Blanca Guerra in November’s election.

Ron Paul supporters leave RNC MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

TAMPA, Fla. — Ron Paul supporters at the Republican National Convention erupted in fury Tuesday over decisions that weakened their delegate count and other rule changes that will make it harder for non-establishment candidates in future elections.

Several members of the Maine delegation walked out of the Tampa Bay Times Forum after the convention affirmed the GOP’s decision to replace 10 of Maine’s 24 delegates. “It’s a disgusting, disgusting display of a hostile takeover from the top down,� said Ashley Ryan, 21, a Maine delegate. “It’s an embar-

rassment.�

Paul did not win a single state, but his ardent followers worked arcane local and state party rules to take over several state delegations, including garnering 20 of Maine’s 24 spots. The RNC decided to replace 10 of them, effectively stopping the state from being able to submit Paul’s name for nomination. (In response, the state’s Republican governor, a Romney supporter, decided to boycott the convention.)

Although Mitt Romney easily has the delegate support to take the nomination in one ballot, avoiding a floor fight allows the GOP to present a unified front.

But the decision to not seat the original Maine delegation, and the approval of rules that will make it

harder for grass-roots-fueled candidates in the future, caused an uproar in the handful of state delegations dominated by Paul supporters, as well as some others that are concerned about the GOP centralizing power in the hands of a few and taking it away from the states.

Wiselot Rouzard, a delegate from Nevada and a Paul supporter, compared the situation to Adolf Hitler taking power in Germany. “There’s nothing American about what just happened,� he said. “This is the death of the Republican Party.�

As the roll call of states commenced, several states listed votes for Romney and Paul. When repeating back the count, those at the podium cited only the Romney votes.

GOP erodes women’s rights

Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat

T

he issue of abortion usually rears its head every evennumbered year as the Democratic and Republican parties cheer on their respective presidential nominees in the race to the White House.

But the debate over abortion and women’s reproductive rights has never been as politically charged as it is this year. By now, anyone with access to a television has heard the string of boneheaded remarks by conservative politicians who seem intent on chipping away at a woman’s right to choose.

Todd Akin, the Republican nominee in Missouri’s Senate race, embarrassed himself and incurred the ire of his party’s most politically attuned leaders last week when he claimed that a woman’s body has ways to naturally “shut down” a “legitimate rape,” thereby preventing conception.

According to Akin’s logic, a woman who is successfully impregnated by her rapist was “illegitimately” raped and should feel morally obligated to carry her rapist’s child to term. Rape’s “legitimacy” apparently hinges entirely on whether or not it results in a pregnancy.

Akin’s comments were, without question, the most radical departure from decency any member of his party has exhibited on this issue. An inherently criminal act like rape can never be legitimate.

But don’t expect someone as morally bankrupt as Akin to come to that realization any time soon.

The same goes for Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, whose record on abortion is just as deplorable as that of his embattled colleague from Missouri.

Ryan has co-sponsored 38 anti-abortion measures, some of which make no exception for rape.

The Wisconsinite even went as far as to say that rape is just one “method of conception,” which in essence elevates it to the status of consensual sex.

What is clear is that the GOP’s appalling redefinition of rape is part of a broader effort to advance the party’s warped ideological agenda as it relates to women’s health.

Ryan’s and Akin’s remarks on rape and conception came on the heels of the political fight to end government payments to Planned Parenthood and contraceptive coverage for employees of religiously affiliated institutions, as well as attempts to create “personhood” initiatives in Mississippi that would give fertilized human eggs the same legal rights and protections that apply to people.

Look no further than the 2012 Republican Party platform if you are in need of further proof that an allout ideological war is being waged against female reproductive organs.

Last week, the Republican Party’s platform committee approved antiabortion language without adding an exception for rape.

When pressed by George Stephanopoulos, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, the GOP’s platform chair, dodged culpability by saying that a rape is a “detail” best left up to Congress and the states to sort out.

The sad reality is that if a state like Arizona were to ban abortions in instances where the woman was raped, the Grand Old Party would raise no objections. In fact, anti-abortion absolutists like Ryan and Akin would wet themselves in excitement.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that this redefinition of rape is a coincidence. It is part of a coordinated effort to strip women of the right to control their bodies.

If Republicans continue to double down on this inglorious campaign against female reproductive freedom, the consequences will be devastating come Election Day.

With the start of the new school year, I feel it is imperative to remind students and faculty about the importance of being aware of pedestrians and giving them the right of way.

Last Thursday, a co-worker of mine was hit by a car while using a crosswalk on Helen Street near Cherry Avenue. She was not seriously injured, but needless to say she was terrified and is in quite a bit of pain. The student that hit her seemed callous and unapologetic. I’m just assuming this was only one of many similar incidents on campus last week.

New students may not realize how many crosswalks are located on campus, but they should know enough to be aware of people crossing the street. I encourage you to write an article about this issue and remind any people who drive throughout campus how important it is to be aware of pedestrians and cyclists.

Future will feel costs of gender gap in education Kristina Bui Arizona Daily Wildcat

C

all me biased, but the data does seem to suggest women are smarter than men. Or, at least, they aspire to go to college more and are more likely than men to graduate with degrees.

According to a report released Tuesday by the National Center for Education Statistics, 96 percent of female high school seniors wanted to go to college, compared to 90 percent of male seniors in 2004.

Female high school graduates also tended to enroll in college immediately after graduation, and half chose to attend a fouryear institution.

Although male high school graduates made similar decisions, they do so at lower rates.

Less than half of male seniors first enrolled in a four-year institution, and only about two-thirds of male students went to college immediately after graduation compared to about three-quarters of female students.

At the UA, there were 14,614 male undergraduates in 2011.

There 16,051 female students enrolled that year. The year before, there were 14,641 male undergraduates and 15,951 female.

The gender gap in college enrollment has been consistent for several years.

Men have typically represented about 43 percent of enrollments and 43 percent of undergraduate degrees since 2000, according to 2010 data by the American Council on Education.

“

The problem with the gender imbalance in higher education isn’t that more women are enrolling in college. The problem is that men aren’t keeping pace.

“

men aren’t keeping pace.

While a stabilized gender gap that swings in favor of women doesn’t seem like such a bad thing, men need degrees just as much as women do.

More education pays off more, literally. A study by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce shows workers with at least some post-secondary education fared better through the recession than those without any.

A generation of undereducated men will contribute less to the economy, and leave future generations with fewer role models in education to look to.

If men fail to catch up and the gender disparity grows wider, you don’t need to go to college to see the implications.

In the decades since the women’s movement, the gap has closed and then reversed, so that where women used to lag in higher education, they now — Kristina Bui is the editor-insurpass their male peers. chief of the Arizona Daily Wildcat.

Sweating the minor stuff

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a call from Yavapai Residence Hall at 12:20 a.m. on Aug. 21, after an 18-year-old student broke a window while under the influence of alcohol. When the officers arrived at the scene, the student was sitting on a bench outside the front door of the residence hall. He was sweating profusely and had blood splattered on his shorts and hands. A 1.75-liter jug of Canadian Mist whiskey was sitting at his feet.

The officers asked him what happened and if he had been drinking. The student said that he had been drinking and then punched a large hole in a window in the lobby of the residence hall, leaving pieces of broken glass on the window ledge.

The broken window led to the common area, where another student had been sitting at the time. Officers noted that they could smell alcohol on his breath and his eyes appeared red and watery.

When questioned, he said that he punched the window because he was scared he’d receive a minor in possession citation. The Tucson Fire Department arrived at the scene later and bandaged the student’s fingers. The student was cited and told to stay in his room for the rest of the night, then released.

We’ve got you covered

Unlucky number 15

A construction accident occurred on North Vine Avenue at 9:01 a.m. on Aug. 21, when a worker drove his tractor underneath the west side of Arizona Stadium and crashed into the walkway at gate 15. The tractor was too tall and needed more than 10 feet of clearance. The concrete walkway was only chipped, but the tractor was left with interior damage, including a broken hydraulic line and a pinched conduit line. The accident caused a safety hazard as the hydraulic fluid traveled from gate 15 to the north end of the stadium.

A UAPD officer responded to the incident along with the Risk Management hazardous materials supervisor, who observed the recently damaged walkway and said that the fallen chips of concrete were not a public safety hazard. Facilities Management was also called to the scene. The officer took photos of the scene and placed them into evidence, but the accident was not a criminal violation. The incident caused $100 worth of property damage.

On Aug. 12, a similar incident occurred involving the same walkway and an Arizona Athletics employee in an Enterprise rental truck.

The bus to nowhere

On Aug. 19 at 7:25 a.m., a UAPD officer observed a man and woman sitting at a bus stop on Sixth Street and Park Avenue.

The officer noticed a plastic bag underneath the man’s legs that appeared to have a large glass container inside. After about five minutes, the man took the container out of the bag and handed it to the woman, who took several drinks of the unknown liquid.

The officer approached the two subjects and asked for identification. Neither of them had identification, but they gave the officer their names. The man was loud and angry, and did not want to comply with the officer. He was handcuffed and then searched.

Officers later found that the man had two outstanding warrants and the woman was on probation for an arrest involving marijuana. The man was arrested, while the woman was cited for drinking in public, but then released. The man was taken to Pima County Jail for violating his promise to appear in court for his previous shoplifting charges, and for violating his promise not to drink in public.

Goalie ready to fill in for UA Since age 10, freshman Alison Gondosch has always been a goalie, even if that wasn’t always the plan

IMAN HAMDAN

Arizona Daily Wildcat

At age 10, Arizona freshman Alison Gondosch filled in as goalkeeper, only expecting to play the position for one tournament.

She hasn’t stopped playing the position since that point.

Right now, Gondosch is just a backup for the Wildcats behind junior transfer Gabby Kaufman, but she is ready to fill in if the time comes — just as she did nine years ago.

“She is still young and learning, but she’s done a phenomenal job these first few weeks of stepping in,” head coach Lisa Oyen said.

“We talked to her at length all throughout the recruiting process about what our expectations are for goalkeepers with leadership, communication and organization.”

Prior to coming to Arizona, the Ontario native played goalie for Rockway Collegiate High School and for a club team.

She was picked to play for an Ontario Provincial Team from 2007-2010.

“When I was 14, I got to represent Ontario and we went to the national championships in Edmonton,” Gondosch said. “We won the gold medal there, which was pretty cool.”

Gondosch also won another gold medal with her high school team at regionals in 2009.

The decision to come to the UA was made easier by the fact that Gondosch often visited Tucson in the winters.

“I kept Arizona at the back of my mind when I was looking at recruiting opportunities,” Gondosch said.

As a student athlete, Gondosch found herself well-prepared in dealing with the travel-intensive schedule this season because of her experience in high school.

“Well, you definitely have to be on top of things and look at conflicting dates, plus your professors know ahead of time, but you just have to know how to manage your time,”

ALISON GONDOSCH ATTEMPTS TO prevent a goal at Tuesday’s practice for the Wildcats. Gondosch will back up junior transfer Gabby Kaufman this season.

Gondosch said.

Meanwhile on the field, Gondosch’s transition to becoming an Arizona goalkeeper has been a more gradual process.

“Club (soccer) is a big deal at home and training isn’t as intense as it is here,” Gondosch said. “The change of pace took a little bit to get use to, but once you get into the swing of things everything seems a lot more manageable.”

According to Gondosch, her transition to Arizona has been smooth because of help from her teammates.

Kaufman, encourages Gondosch to come to her with questions or concerns and also challenges her to step up her game while competing for the same starting position.

Senior defender Alex Smith’s fondest memory of Gondosch

comes from the annual team retreat to Pinetop.

“We always do freshman skits on a pre-season retreat,” Smith said.

“So each freshman has a scene, and so they usually impersonate some of the seniors or different players. Even though Alison is still a little shy, it was fun to watch her perform her skit.”

While Gondosch might be shy off the field, her leadership

abilities are shining through when she is in the net, an attribute Oyen has noticed since Gondosch first came to the UA. “From day one she was vocal and she’s done everything we asked her to,” Oyen said.

“So her progress has been very, very good. A lot of that has to do with the fact that she is very determined and learns things quickly.”

MARK LYONS TRANSFERRED from Xavier to Arizona for the chance to play for Sean Miller and for a national championship.

Lyons wants to lead for Wildcats CAMERON MOON Arizona Daily Wildcat

After losing Momo Jones last year, coupled with Josiah Turner’s inability to stay out of trouble or produce for Arizona, the point guard position was a problem area last season.

Among the new faces on the Wildcats this year is fifth-year senior transfer guard Mark Lyons, who is expected to be the UA’s new starting point guard. Lyons isn’t looking at what happened last year. Rather, he is keeping his eye on the prize.

“I’m trying to win a championship,” said Lyons at a Thursday press conference. “I just want to win.

Winning takes care of everything.”

Lyons adds experience and knowhow to a point guard position that faced depth questions following Turner’s exit from the program.

The New York native has played

in 98 career collegiate games, but did not play his freshman season at Xavier, under current UA head coach Sean Miller. The relationship between Miller and Lyons was the main reason Lyons turned down offers from Kentucky and Kansas to reunite with Miller in Tucson.

“I know Mark Lyons in a very unique way,” Miller said. “He’s old in terms of college basketball. It’s so unique to add a guy with his mindset and experience.”

Since arriving on campus in July, Lyons has been getting to know his teammates off the court in an effort to build team chemistry, which senior forward Solomon Hill said is already better than last year.

“I’m trying to become their friends,” Lyons said. “There’s life after college basketball. That makes it easier, trying to build friendship and

She generally plays around the entire six-man rotation and is expected to be able to receive serves, pass for defense, block on the net, hit the ball front row and serve. An outside hitter has to be consistent in all aspects of the game while also being a playmaker, because the first touch and the last touch can often be by the outside hitter.

“The best part about being an outside hitter is you get set a lot, you get a lot more kills,” sophomore Taylor Arizobal said.

Home base for the outside hitter is generally on the left side of the court.

When in position, the hitter will be at the front left side of the net while the other outside hitter is back row playing defense. The rotation works in a way so that someone is always front row and able to attack at the net.

“There are a couple of tougher components to hitting on the outside,” Arizobal said. “You have to think a lot more about where the ball is going to go because there’s usually a big block waiting on the other side.”

An outside hitter is generally one of the taller players on the floor and she has to be conditioned well enough to play full matches. Because the outside hitter works on all skills,

exponentially grow that, just with that name.

I saw that ASU is playing at the new NCAA Division I team Penn State.

Do you think playing NCAA teams is possible in the future for Arizona?

Yeah, that’s the goal, one of things we want to get accomplished right away. There’s a rule in the NCAA, it’s a game count — the amount of games you can play and right now.

Canadian colleges don’t count against NCAA game counts, but our teams do, so we’re trying to get that changed.

When that is changed hopefully we can play a lot more. It’s a great opportunity for ASU, it’s a great opportunity for our league because Penn State is actually going to play Oklahoma, ASU and Ohio, three of the top teams in our league.

The last time that happened, when Penn State was in our position, playing NCAA teams, Penn State won. A lot of the guys on the team that lost to Oakland are on Penn State’s team. It’s a possibility, for sure, that ASU can win some of those games.

Strangely, there isn’t much fretting going on about the fact that the UA needs to replace probably the best quarterback in its history.

That’s because of Matt Scott, the senior who purposefully redshirted last season so he’d have an opportunity to start this year. It also helps that Scott is an absolute perfect fit for Rodriguez’s spread option, zone read offense because of his speed.

In an offense known for producing such game-changing talent

at the quarterback position as Pat White and Denard Robinson, Scott is poised for a breakout year.

However, the lack of experience behind him is disconcerting to say the least. B.J. Denker, a junior college transfer from California, is the top backup. While he is a good fit in this offense with his speed — he ran a 4.5 second 40-yard dash his sophomore year — he is undersized at just 177 pounds and has no Division I experience.

Behind him is the talented, but certainly not game-ready, freshman Javelle Allen from Prosper, Texas. Allen is another dynamic weapon at the position, evidenced by the 2,321 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, 1,497 rushing yards and 22 rushing touchdowns he recorded his senior year. But if he has to see any snaps this season, likely signifying injuries to both Scott and Denker, then the worstcase scenario will have played out for Arizona. That’s not a knock on his ability, this team is just not good enough to have an untested freshman leading it against Pacific 12 Conference foe.

FOOTBALL Notes

Wildcats learning new signals, special teams a concern

ZACK ROSENBLATT Arizona Daily Wildcat

In a no-huddle offense, like the one Arizona will run under head coach Rich Rodriguez, with the ball constantly on the move, there isn’t much time to stop and talk too much about a play call for a

quarterback. That’s why most teams create signals that a head coach or assistant coach will sign to a quarterback to get the play call in quickly and try to catch the defense off guard.

After practice on Tuesday, Rodriguez said his system isn’t the easiest to grasp because it’s become more complicated over the years, as

other teams start figuring them out.

“We have a pretty complicated signal system because we’ve done it so long,” Rodriguez said. “Every game is on TV and sometimes you get signals on there so we have multiple signals for every play. We even see if our own guys, that see it every day, if they can pick it up. So

then basketball.”

So far, Lyons and his vocal New York personality have helped to unite a team that could feature as many as four new starters come November in the regular season opener.

“He fits in great,” Hill said. “He’s as verbal as Momo. He makes sure everyone is on point.

He can control egos, keep guys in line.”

At times in practice, Hill said that he has noticed Lyons becoming vocal.

“He’s yelling at you because [he] sees a good player in you,” Hill explained. “There’s nothing I can tell this guy that he doesn’t know.”

The cross-country transition from Ohio to Arizona has been easier than expected for Lyons, as he played in almost 100 games running Miller’s offense at Xavier. For the Musketeers, Lyons played the shooting guard position, allowing star point guard Tu Holloway to run the offense.

For the Wildcats, Lyons has an opportunity to move back to point guard, but old habits may be hard to break. In order for Arizona’s now bigger offense to work, Lyons will have to be able to feed the ball in the paint to the Wildcats’ big men, including sophomore Angelo Chol and freshman Kaleb Tarczewski.

Lyons’ transition from off-ball movement to playing almost exclusively with the ball in his

it’s not really complicated for our guys, but I hope it is for the opponents.”

Senior quarterback Matt Scott is the player who receives the signal from Rodriguez, and therefore, has to constantly be ready for what is being thrown at him from the sideline without letting it become a distraction that could mess up a play.

Scott, though, isn’t too worried, and his background as a baseball player receiving calls from the third base coach helps that.

“It’s pretty easy,” Scott said. “It’s not anything too complicated.”

The routine for receiving a play call isn’t too arduous a process.

“I find out where the center’s at, I get my depth from him, I look for the signal, I get the signal and call it to the O-Line,” Scott explained.

Rodriguez understands that over time, the opponents pick up on the signals, which isn’t much of an issue because adjustments are constantly

Sports• Wednesday, August 29, 2012 hands may be difficult in the early games, but Miller acknowledged that he has to let Lyons be himself in an offense he’s comfortable in.

“Point guards have to be themselves,” Miller, who played point guard in college, said. “To try and make him someone who doesn’t think ‘scoring’ doesn’t allow him to be the best basketball player he can be. Scoring comes more natural to him. It’s not like we’re trying to teach someone who’s never played how to play basketball.”

The Wildcats were able to lure Lyons to the UA not only because of Miller and Lyons’ familiarity with the coach’s system, but also because of the UA’s reputation as Point Guard U, a designation that came about thanks to the contributions of former Wildcats like Salim Stoudamire, Mike Bibby and Jason Gardner, who Lyons said he idolized as a child.

“Point Guard U is what they kept selling to me,” Lyons said. “I wanted to be the next great point guard as a kid.”

After an undergraduate career in which he scored more than 1,000 pointsfor the Musketeers and three Sweet 16 appearances in three seasons, Lyons, now a graduate student, has more time than his undergraduate teammates to devote to his game, and is trying to adjust to the difference in universities while pursuing a graduate degree.

“It’s my last year,” Lyons said. “I’ve been in college long enough. I’m trying to roll through and see how far we can go.”

made to them, but he said in the past he’s witnessed teams doing something against the rules to learn about play calls.”

“We’ve had people before that actually filmed us,” Rodriguez said. “Which you’re not supposed to do.

They film the signal callers and try to match it and all that. You can’t do that.

When I was at West Virginia that happened a few times, but over the years we’ve developed a better system that’s harder to pick up.”

Special teams a big question mark

Rodriguez expressed a bit of a concern for the special teams unit because the team has, in large part, avoided doing too many special teams drills to avoid injuries.

“Well that’s probably one of the big unknowns,” Rodriguez said. “Because we’ve gone live only a little bit on special teams but not a lot because you worry about losing guys. That’s where you wish you had a preseason game because then you would go live, and know more

about (the unit).

“I’m probably more nervous about that than anything else just because they haven’t done a lot.”

Hall back with team

Following practice on Aug. 28, Rodriguez told the media that he wasn’t sure of injured safety Adam Hall’s status with the team and that they would meet on Aug. 23. It appears the situation was sorted out, as Hall was back working out with the Wildcats on Tuesday.

“He’s with the program now,” Rodriguez said. “He’s just here working out. We have all of our injured guys that have to come and wear yellow or green and work out with the strength coaches and trainers.”

Hall missed all but one game in 2011 with an injured ACL, and is expected to miss all of this season after suffering the same injury in the spring game. He recorded 10 tackles and forced a fumble in his one appearance against Oregon State last year, and in 2010 he had 54 tackles, two interceptions and three pass breakups.

Oregon’s Bennett rumored to tansfer; could be fit for UA Zack Rosenblatt Arizona Daily Wildcat

Oregon quarterback Bryan Bennett lost the starting job competition on Friday to redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota, and now it appears he might be transferring.

On Tuesday, per Oregon Live, Bennett told reporters he didn’t know whether he would be transferring or not.

If the 6-foot-3, 204-pound signal caller does wind up transferring, Arizona becomes an intriguing possibility for Bennett for a few reasons.

System fit

Both Oregon and Arizona head coaches Chip Kelly and Rich Rodriguez run the spread option offensive system, and always have. As a sophomore in Kelly’s program, Bennett is already well versed in the offense, and the transition to Arizona would be seamless.

Proximity

Bennett hails from California. Arizona has 45 players on its roster from California.

If he is trying to stay in the Pac-12 region, Arizona certainly will be a top choice if not for the proximity to his home in Los Angeles (eight hour drive, hour and a half flight), than for the weather change from Oregon to Arizona.

Chance to start in Pac-12

Matt Scott is graduating, and backup B.J. Denker will be before Bennett is eligible to play (as a transfer, he’d have to sit out a year). While there’s a stable of possibilities on tap for the 2013 roster, as of right now there is no guarantee who will be starting at quarterback for the UA two years from now.

Javelle Allen, a freshman from Prosper, Tex., will be a junior by the time 2014 rolls around but, at this point, it is unclear what sort of impact Allen is ready to make.

Another possibility would be incoming Lousiana Tech transfer Nick Isham. But Isham will be learning a new system, and

his numbers for the Bulldogs in 2011 — 1,457 passing yards, eight touchdowns, seven interceptions, and -19 yards, yes negative — are far from inspiring.

Perhaps the biggest challenger to become the starter might be 2013 freshman Anu Solomon from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. A four-star recruit, according to Rivals.com, Solomon is considered one of the top dualthreat quarterbacks in his class, which is a perfect fit for Rodriguez’s offense. But, with recruits, you just never know how it’s going to pan out.

Bennett has learned from Kelly, played behind Darron Thomas and already has some experience in Pac-12 play, seeing action in eight 2011 games, throwing six touchdowns against zero interceptions.

Bryan Bennett Plus, what better way to get back at the team that overlooked you than to take them on in an opposing uniform? Bennett would be able to show Kelly and the Oregon faithful why Mariota wasn’t the right choice.

“If someone’s disappointed, that’s their problem,” Kelly told the media after choosing Mariota. “You don’t look at it as a disappointment; you look at it as a challenge. That’s the way we’ve always looked at it because, again, it’s competition every day.

“I’ll say this: I think Bryan Bennett would start for a lot of universities in the country.”

If Bennett declares he will transfer, as expected, Rodriguez should do whatever he can to bring him to Arizona.

Volleyball from page 6

While the opposing team is on defense the middle is responsible for dictating the block. They track the ball as it approaches the net and are generally expected to engage in any block on any part of the net.

“The toughest part is probably staying active on every play and being able to get to every block on time,”

Magill said.

Once the blocker has completed the three rotations in the front row, she will play one offensive rotation back row where she is the server. After the point is lost, the middle blocker will be replaced with a defensive specialist or a libero in back row defense.

It is not as imperative for the middle blocker to be a consistent passer as she is only expected to pass in the single rotation back row or on last resort defensive situations.

Nick Foles promoted to No. 2 for Eagles MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

Nick Foles entered the preseason as the Eagles’ No. 3 quarterback and will exit as the No. 2, a promotion that came after Foles’ standout effort during the last three weeks and Mike Kafka’s lingering hand injury.

“He’s in that position right now, yeah,” coach Andy Reid said Tuesday when asked if Foles is the top backup.

Pressed for clarification, Reid emphasized it’s the standing at this time.

“Right now, that’s what he is,” Reid said. “He’s the one that’s going to play and start [Thursday’s] game.”

Foles, who started last week’s game in Cleveland in starter Michael Vick’s absence, will start again on Thursday against the Jets, with Vick sitting out the preseason finale.

Foles is scheduled to play one quarter and Trent Edwards the final three.

That means Kafka, who entered camp as the backup quarterback, will not play and might see his job taken by Foles.

When Reid was asked if Foles is the No. 2 regardless of whether Kafka was healthy, Reid focused only on the current situation.

“You asked me right now,” Reid said. “I can’t get any clearer than that.”

There is no telling how the depth chart would read if

Kafka was healthy, and there’s no telling if Kafka will make the roster. He has not played since the first preseason game because of a broken left hand. Kafka has taken some snaps in practice this week, but his hand is too tender to show the coaches any more than they’ve already seen.

“I know him well enough, I think, to be able to make that evaluation,” Reid said of Kafka.

Foles has clearly played well enough to earn the No. 2 job. He has completed 63 percent of his passes for 507 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions. Foles demonstrated a command of the offense and a feel for the game that most rookies do not. His biggest transition might be adjusting to a backup role that could require relief appearances after a college career during which he was the starter.

“It’s definitely different, but we’ve all played this game a long time,” Foles said. “I’ll have the headset in when [Vick] is playing, and me and the other quarterbacks will be visualizing the play and visualizing what we’d do in that situation.”

Vick and Foles are locks to make the roster. The final spot will go to either Kafka or Edwards.

Without Kafka in Thursday’s game, Edwards will have one last chance to impress the coaching staff. But both might be competing for the No. 3 job with Foles as the backup.

FORMER UA QUARTERBACK Nick Foles, was promoted to the Eagles’ No. 2 spot after three impressive preseason performances. With Mike Kafka seeing the effects of a lingering hand injury, he may also see Foles take his job, though coach Andy Reid remains mum on long-term plans.

Former Wildcat trying to catch on with Giants MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The question was a simple one: “Have you done enough?”

David Douglas insists not yet, which is why he can’t wait to step inside MetLife Stadium for Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Patriots with one last chance to show the Giants he belongs on the team.

“I’m not sure you ever feel completely satisfied that you’ve done enough, but there has to be a level of confidence that you have,” Tracy said. “Out of the chances you receive, you better do everything you can to make the most of them.”

Douglas has been one of the brightest, albeit unexpected, preseason stars for the Giants, making plays and gaining plenty of attention while also garnering raves from teammates and the coaching staff, most notably coach Tom Coughlin.

But with teams needing to trim rosters from 75 players to a regular-season ready 53 by Friday night, there certainly remains a fine line between changing frontoffice opinions and reinforcing them as the Giants prepare for the final exhibition of the summer.

Douglas is among the group of wide receivers pushing to earn a spot behind mainstays Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz, rookie Rueben Randle, veteran Domenik Hixon and Ramses Barden, whose performance against the Jets likely secured his place.

“When coaches give you an opportunity, you’ve got to go out and make plays if you want to make this team. That’s the bottom line,” Douglas said. “You have to do a lot of things to help yourself as far as being versatile to improve your chances of making the team.”

DAVID DOUGLAS

Douglas admittedly has an uphill battle to make the final roster. His biggest competitor is more than likely Jerrel Jernigan, last year’s third-round pick who started off very strong in camp before losing what was believed his stranglehold on the job of punt returner with ball-security issues.

An undrafted free agent out of Arizona, Douglas made an array of spectacular catches during camp and proved steady when given a chance to return punts against the Bears last Friday. At the very least, the Giants could be hoping Douglas clears waivers if released, which would allow them to bring him back to their practice squad.

There’s just one problem with that: Douglas might already have done too much, piquing the interest of the rest of the league in the process.

“You don’t even think about whether you’ve done enough,” Douglas said.

“You just think about this game and go out and do everything you can to make plays. You’ve got to do everything you can to make the team and put it on them, take advantage of every chance you get to put on that helmet. I’m not going out there thinking about getting cut. You’ve just got to go out there and play, and whatever happens is going to happen.”
