iPad, UA: Main Library lends devices to students

By Amer Taleb DAILY WILDCAT

There’s a new addition to the UA Main Library’s equipment-lending list of magnifying glasses, laptops and projectors: iPad 2s are now available for checkout.

Applications on the 16-gigabyte devices are tailored to student needs such as making and editing presentations, papers and spreadsheets, as well as note-taking, managing citations and graphing equations. Free lectures can be streamed from the UA and universities around the world via iTunes U. Monique Perez, a history sophomore and student worker at the library’s Information Commons desk, said many of the apps are geared toward science majors. The iPads are in a test phase and improvements and changes may be implemented, depending on student feedback, which Perez says has been positive so far. The iPads are only available for three-day checkout at the UA Main Library.

A donation and student fees covered the $6,700 price tag. Nine of the 10 iPads were checked out an hour after they began circulating, said Robyn Huff-Eibl, team leader for Access and Information Services.

Hussein Magale, a biochemistry sophomore, said he rarely uses the library’s lending service. Magale said that will probably change because iPads are easy to carry, can be checked out longer than laptops and are good organizational tools. He doesn’t mind his student fee money being used to buy them, he added.

“They’re using my money to benefit me,” he said. “Good equation.”

There will always be a student who needs to check something out because their equipment got stolen, broken or they can’t afford it, and it’s the library’s job to fill that void, Perez said.

The iPads use Pages, an Apple word processor that’s not compatible with computers in the Information Commons. Students can still type up

word documents, but it’s a hassle to transfer them, Perez said.

Abdullahi Mohamed, a biochemistry freshman who uses the lending service at least once a week, said he wouldn’t check out an iPad. “I’m not an iPad guy,” he said. “It seems harder to type documents on them, which is mainly why I check out the netbook (computer). I’ll stick to what works for me.”

An hour-long iPad training session helped staff and student workers get used to the gadgets, which were a little difficult to use at times, Perez said. iPad tip sheets are available in print at the Information Commons desk and virtually on the iPad and library website.

Library resources continue to migrate from print to electronic format to accommodate student needs, Huff-Eibl said.

“The library is more than just books. There’s a lot that we provide,” Perez added.

The circulation system tracks the number of times an item is checked out and the library also keeps records of student requests they were unable to provide.

“We do this to get a more complete picture of demand and inform future purchase decisions,” Huff-Eibl said.

Perez encouraged students to fill out surveys on the iPad desktops when they check them out. Skype, an internet calling service, has already been added based on user feedback.

“The iPads are helpful in class and a big advancement for the library,” Perez said. “You’ve already paid for them, might as well use them.”

Firefighters are often in situations that result in debilitating injuries, and the UA is looking to prevent those with a proactive method.

SPIFi, or Strategies to Prevent Injuries among Firefighters, is meant to implement risk management strategies. To do this, the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health has partnered up with the Tucson Fire Department and Johns Hopkins University.

The four-year study is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

Researchers have been looking at three injury categories including patient transport, fire ground operations and physical exercise, said Gerald Poplin, an epidemiology doctoral student and SPIFi researcher.

“They use these resources in this area of information and they’re willing to work with us,” Poplin said.

To address these injuries, researchers are implementing a risk management process that they found to be effective in coal mining industry research. Poplin, along with one of the primary researchers and a public health professor, Jeff Burgess, decided to try the process for firefighting.

“We have to be physically fit all the time and the injuries that we can get can take us away from our job,” said John Gulotta, the health and wellness captain at Tucson Fire Department. Gulotta has been a firefighter since 1988 and he teaches safety training.

Firefighters are sometimes in awkward positions that often require overexertion of their muscles, which usually leads to sprains or strains, Poplin said.

“They’re forced into a lot of

University expects drop in total International Arizona Assurance enrollment Friends group

By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT

The UA is estimating a decrease new enrollment in the Arizona Assurance Scholars Program by about 400 students, almost 40 percent, by 2016, according to the UA strategic plan.

Keith Humphrey, assistant vice president of Student Affairs, said the change in the numbers is because of alterations to the enrollment requirements of the program this past year.

“We have worked to make sure we are enrolling the most talented students who have the greatest level of need in the program,” Humphrey said.

Started in fall 2008 by former UA President Robert Shelton, the Arizona Assurance program provides financial assistance from low-income families who make less than $42,400 a year.

The program assists students by covering their tuition, books and room and board for four years of college, with a large portion of the funding provided by Pell Grants.

Beginning with this incoming class, high school applicants applying to the UA will only be considered for the program if they have a grade point average of a 3.0 or better. In the previous three years, students only needed to have at least a 2.0.

“We hope that we have large numbers in those groups and so it

Year can vary from year to year based on how many students present themselves in both income qualifications and the academic qualifications of the program,” Humphrey said.

There are currently more than 2,000 students enrolled in the program, including about 1,100 freshmen. The UA strategic plan puts target enrollment at 700 new freshmen in 2016. Arezu Corella, assistant director of Academic Success and Achievement and a member of the UA student transition and retention team, said a slight decrease has already been seen in the number of students admitted into the program compared to last year.

“At the end of last year it became necessary because of finances to reduce the number, keeping in mind that tuition is going up, the subsidy

of the Legislature was going down and then the number of students was increasing,” said Edith Auslander, an Arizona Assurance consultant and member of the University of Arizona Foundation.

According to an Arizona Assurance overview, $1 million a year is needed for each class to fund the program through the combination of federal aid, grants, scholarships and donations.

Arizona Assurance and the University of Arizona Foundation are working on fundraising a $100 million endowment for the program in order to keep it running for years to come.

“The economy is challenging for fundraisers right now,” Humphrey said, “but there is a team of folks who are working to make sure the program is financially supported by an endowment as soon as possible.”

International Friends, a non-profit volunteer program, held its first host information session of the semester on Wednesday.

International Friends is an organization that pairs Tucson residents with the UA’s incoming international students. They use a new online matching program in which an American host selects an international student by looking at basic information like similar interests, length of the students’ stay and gender. Although International Friends refers to its volunteers as “hosts,” it is not a live-in program.

Once volunteers and students have been paired, hosts are expected to commit to the program for a minimum of one year.

According to Pamela Obando, an associate director for Residence Life, more than 700 international students came to the UA last August. Obando said the organization’s goal is to be a friend to international students and to share “our American life” with these students.

“I find that they want to see and do everything,” Obando said. Rachel Petro, a prospective host and a sophomore studying Spanish and Italian, emphasized the importance of community-building and exposure to various cultures.

“I know how important it is to

build communities when you move to a new country, and for myself, I like to surround myself with different cultures and perspectives,” Petro said.

International Friends encourages volunteers to host two or three students because it allows international students the opportunity to meet more people.

This Sunday, the program will host “Fiesta de Amigos” from 3 to 5 p.m. at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church. International Friends also hosts welcome dinners when students first arrive.

Obando spoke fondly of her last welcome dinner with three women from India, Australia and England.

“We were having so much fun and talking so much that it was 11 and I realized we were still sitting around my dining room table,” Obando said.

International Friends is affiliated with the UA’s Office of International Student Programs and Services that brings new international students to the UA. Anyone interested can apply to be a host online. More than 100 new international students have already been paired with a host.

“The students who come here are really excellent students,” Obando said. “They have worked really hard to come here.”

Community Chatter is a feature that asks UA students for their takes on an article from the previous week.

This week: The $25 fee for dropping courses late in the semester

Kimberly Lee Pre-physiology junior

“It’s not fair. It takes more than a week to get a feel for a class. … There’s only one physiology class and it’s impossible to get into. With all the money they collect, they should be making more physiology classes.”

“I agree with it. It prevents people from taking too many classes and they use the money to make more courses.”

Kevan Joe Linguistics freshman

“It’s a bad idea, especially for people trying to plan their semester. It’s unfair, along with tuition raises.”

Diego Avilez Regional development senior

Shawn Bui Chemistry freshman

“It’s really unfair to students who are trying to plan out their schedules.”

Olivia Sana Psychology senior

“I wasn’t aware of the fee at all.

They’re greedy.

I’m already paying to go to class. Don’t charge me to drop them. … $130,000 for courses? Use some of it for scholarships.”

“$130,000 back into the classes is a good idea.

There’s a lot of students and majors. The problem is I don’t know if that’s what they’re actually doing with the Kevin Ma Biology freshman money. … Use it (fee money) to cover the lab fees, they’re ridiculous.”

Makenzie Thiel Creative writing freshman

Piri Lanes Political science freshman

“It sounds horrible. I dropped a class before the first week, and I’m glad I didn’t drop any after.

It makes sense though, it’s how they make money.”

“It makes people pick what classes they want more wisely, but it’s hard because the first week is when you see the best side of the teacher and don’t really do anything.”

Nick Wong Pre-pharmacy junior

“Such an inconvenience.

It just sucks. …

I would think that there’s regulations like W’s or something from the Dean’s Office to prevent people from abusing the system. They don’t need to charge us $25.”

“I wish the time period was a little longer — one month — so you can get a feel for the class.”

US drone kills another al-Qaida leader Mcclatchy tribune

ISLAMABAD — A U.S. missile strike in Pakistan has killed al-Qaida’s operations chief for the country, U.S. officials said Thursday, further shredding the terrorist group’s upper ranks as it struggles to cope with the death of its founder.

Abu Hafs al Shahri was said to be in line for increasingly important duties as other senior leaders were eliminated around him. In May, U.S. special forces killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, and a drone attack in August killed al-Qaida’s new deputy leader, Atiyah Abd al Rahman. Earlier this month Pakistani forces arrested the head of the group’s operations against the West, Younis al Mauritani.

Experts on al-Qaida said the strike reflected a closer working relationship against the terrorist group among Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States, despite U.S.-Pakistani tensions over the bin Laden raid, in which American troops attacked a target in Pakistan without notifying the country’s authorities in advance.

“Al-Qaida is withering away in the Afghanistan and Pakistan region,” said Rasul Bakhsh Rais, a professor of politics at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. “With this new technology and this greater cooperation between Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States, alQaida doesn’t stand a chance of regrouping.”

Still, while U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan’s tribal area, which borders Afghanistan, have decimated al-Qaida’s “core” leadership — made up almost entirely of Arabs — the group’s local affiliates remain deadly and potent, especially the Pakistani Taliban.

An unmanned drone flies a training mission over Victorville, Calif., on Jan. 9, 2010.

Thursday, a suicide bomber struck a funeral, during prayers, in the Lower Dir region in Pakistan’s northwest, killing at least 31 people.

They were targeted for being from a tribe that opposes the Pakistani Taliban. Similarly, four schoolchildren

were gunned down in the northwest earlier this week for being from a clan that has resisted the Pakistani Taliban.

U.S. officials think that Ayman alZawahri, an Egyptian who succeeded bin Laden as al-Qaida chief, is hiding

in Pakistan, most likely in the tribal area. Al-Qaida made the tribal area its base after the U.S.-led invasion chased the group out of Afghanistan in late 2001.

“Al-Qaida’s made a lot of mistakes since bin Laden’s death. They are

Medal of Honor awarded to US Marine for bravery in Afghanistan Mcclatchy tribune

WASHINGTON — The desperate call crackled over the radio in the predawn darkness: A small team of American and Afghan troops were pinned down in a remote village under withering fire from three sides. A young lieutenant was begging for artillery or air support.

Without it, he said, “we are going to die out here,” he yelled.

Can’t be done, came the reply. It might kill civilians.

Less than a mile away, Marine Cpl. Dakota L. Meyer heard the radio exchange in agony. His buddies were dying, yet Meyer was under orders to stay where he was.

Four times he requested permission to go to their aid, and four times over the two hours, it had been denied.

Finally, Meyer, a powerfully built 21-year-old from Kentucky with a soft drawl, decided to defy his superiors. He climbed into the turret of a gun truck with a .50-caliber machine gun driven by another Marine and raced toward the battle.

U.S. President Barack Obama awards Dakota Meyer the Medal of Honor in the East Room of the White House on Thursday.

On Thursday, Meyer was at the White House to receive the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award for valor, from President Barack Obama for saving the lives of 13 U.S. and 23 Afghan combatants and personally killing at least eight Taliban on that day, Sept. 8,

2009. He is the first living Marine to receive the award since the Vietnam War. Meyer stood at rigid attention in dress uniform while Obama recounted what happened that day in the village of Ganjigal. “He drove straight into the line of fire with his head and upper body exposed,” Obama said, describing how Meyer and another Marine driving the Humvee went toward the sound of the guns. “They were defying orders, but they were doing what they thought was right.”

As Obama prepared to fasten the medal around his neck, Meyer stared toward the ceiling at the back of the room, as if recalling the events of that day two years ago, a day that Meyer calls the worst of his life.

“I’d rather have all my guys here now than receive the medal,” Meyer, now a construction worker back home in Kentucky, told CNN. He wears the names of four fallen colleagues he could not save

engraved on a silver bracelet on his wrist.

Obama said Meyer had initially refused to take his call about the award because he was working, saying, “If I don’t work I don’t get paid.”

But at Meyer’s request, the president shared a beer with the former Marine on Wednesday evening outside the Oval Office.

Trained as a sniper, he had volunteered to go to Afghanistan in 2009 because he wanted to see action. His unit, the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Marine Regiment based in Hawaii was deploying to Iraq, but Meyer had already done a tour there two years earlier and found it too quiet for his tastes. In Afghanistan, he would be part of a sniper team assigned to a unit training Afghan forces in Kunar province, a remote and rugged area near the Pakistan border.

“The main reason I went is because I wanted to fight,” he later told the Marine Corps Times of his decision to volunteer for Afghanistan.

now reduced to being like any other Middle Eastern criminal group, no more than that,” said Mehmood Shah, an analyst who was formerly a senior security official in the northwest.

“Zawahri doesn’t have the same stature as bin Laden.”

difficult positions where you can’t really get into a good ergonomic (maximum productivity) stance,” he said.

Firefighters may also be more prone to injuries because they work 24-hour shifts, Gulotta said.

Sometimes they wake up at 2 a.m. and put on 60 to 80 pounds of gear to fight fires in the middle of the night.

“We’re not in a nice clean environment,” he said. “Our environment is disconjointed and upside down 90 percent of the time, so we can’t always predict what we’re going to get ourselves into.”

But injuries are not the only risk of the job, Gulotta said.

“We are the frontline for exposures to infections,” he said. Those could include hepatitis, HIV or meningitis.

Firefighters also have an increased risk of getting cancer and could be

“The mental aspect of it is a huge component really of the job itself … but injuries play a huge part of it,” he added.

Poplin is able to find out what injuries are occurring by observing the firefighters on ride-alongs.

He can then focus resources for particular job tasks. Poplin said back and joint strains or sprains are the most common injuries in the line of duty.

The first two years of the SPIFi study were focused on identifying hazards and controls. They are now entering the implementation phase, which includes training and standard operation procedures, Poplin said.

One of the things they are looking at doing is cardiopulmonary resuscitation rotation. Since firefighters get fatigued over time from being stuck in confined spaces, CPR is not always as effective as it

The rotation will be approximately every 200 compressions because “it’s a natural stopping point to check vital signs,” Poplin said.

“Hopefully that will help reduce this level of strain that they’re submitted to,” he added.

The study also is looking at improving the rehabilitation scene, which takes place after a fire. Firefighters go into a tent to have their vital signs checked, get water and cool down, according to Poplin. Researchers want to update the protocols and make sure firefighters can recover before going back into a fire.

They also want to better monitor cardiovascular disease, which is the largest line-of-duty death, he said.

Gulotta said he likes having researchers look at their line of work because they see it with different eyes. They can offer new opinions to help prevent firefighter injuries.

“Working with the firefighters and the paramedics has been pretty much a joy just because they’re easy to work with. They’re invested in their jobs,” Poplin said.

Like everyone else, firefighters want to be able to enjoy retirement, Gulotta said. They want to prevent injuries the best they can so they will function properly when they retire.

Minority in a majority

Jacquelyn Abad Daily Wildcat

O

ur school colors may be red and blue, but white is most represented on our campus.

More than half of our student population is Caucasian and it’s easy for minorities to get lost in the mix of things. Over the years, the UA has become more diverse and the minority population has grown to 32 percent, according to the 2010 UA Fact Book. With whites dominating the other races in numbers, minority students turn to organizations and clubs such as the Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs (CHSA), Asian Pacific American Student Affairs (APASA), African American Student Affairs (AASA) and Native American Student Affairs (NASA). Although these student organizations are bringing students together who share similar cultural backgrounds, it segregates them from everyone else.

Being a minority at the UA definitely has its advantages and disadvantages. For one, it sets me apart from the majority of the population, and some of the stereotypes associated with the model minority aren’t that bad. But I am questioned on a daily basis, “What are you? And where do you come from?” It’s like I am an exotic animal at the zoo. Please do not ask me to help you with your Eastern Asian Language and Culture class homework because your guess is probably better than mine. Don’t assume just because I am Asian that I know how to speak Chinese, do karate, or that I am a member of APASA. Whether you are white, black, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian or all of the above, race is a part of us. However, it does not have to define who we are. Minority clubs were set in place because some people are intolerant of the unknown and are uncomfortable with what seems foreign to them. These clubs have created a bubble of familiarity that has blocked them from meeting people of different cultures and expanding their knowledge.

Not all of my friends are Asian and your friend circle shouldn’t exclusively reflect your race either. All of the minority clubs are so exclusive and they make it uncomfortable for someone of a different race to join. For example, it would be super awkward if I wanted to join a club that focused on European culture because it’s obvious that I am not white. Although I want to learn more about their culture, the fact that they are so selective deters me from wanting to participate.

The world is divided enough as is and the whole purpose of the U.S. was to bring people of different ethnicities together.

If we educated each other on our cultural practices and shared our views and moral beliefs, then maybe we would all be receptive to one another. You do not have to join APASA, NASA, AASA or CHSA in order to feel like you belong. Making friends with people of the same race doesn’t mean they will be your new BFF. Go beyond the norm and meet people who have more in common with you than just your heritage or race.

Sound off

Character counts, but not for everything As the Republican presidential hopefuls continue their campaigning and politicking, the coverage continues to be on their personalities and their ability to fire back quips and funny comments in debates. In an article in The New York Times that followed the Republican debate in Florida, “Perry Is Target as Republican Candidates Take Aim,” constant attention is paid to each candidate’s ability to rouse excitement, laughter or applause for quick comebacks.

While personality and witty charm have always been relevant to voters, they seem to be more and more important with each passing election.

Ever heard the saying “I’d like to have a beer with him”? Believe it or not, some people actually base their voting habits around this saying. More and more voters ignore the issues and are easily swayed by how much they like a candidate’s charm. Let’s remember that we’re talking about the primaries for the Republican Party’s nomination for the presidency of the U.S. No, this isn’t a column making fun of voting trends in an Associated Students of the University of Arizona election. We’re talking about the big boys here.

I’m sorry to say, but Democrats have a pretty charismatic candidate themselves. If Republicans hope to out-charisma President Barack Obama, then they’re playing a losing game. Regardless of your party, please demand more from politicians.

There’s a reason you feel warm and fuzzy from a snarky comeback. It’s because it’s just hot air and it doesn’t mean anything.

Arizona State University State Press “Neither (Ron) Paul nor (Buddy) Roemer are big money candidates, and I think that is the problem. Both have spoken out against corruption in the election system and government as a whole. Paul came in second in the Iowa straw poll and got hardly any coverage. Roemer has been both governor of Louisiana and a senator, and after only four weeks of campaigning is tied at 1 percent in polls with John Huntsman … When a candidate, like Roemer or Paul, are (sic) just dismissed because they don’t have the funds that megastars like Perry or former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney do, it is a disservice to the American political system.”

“(Michele) Bachmann and (Rick) Perry aren’t just devout; both supposedly have ties to a fringe fundamentalist movement known as Dominionism, which states that Christians have the God-given right to rule institutions. Both Bachmann and Perry have taken beliefs from Dominionism, according to a Daily Beast article, and put into action the idea that the American government should be a Christian theocracy based around a fundamentalist interpretation of Scripture. If either one of these candidates is elected, they could transform America into a country that emphasizes religion even more than it does now.”

“… while criticism is a healthy part of any society’s artistic life, there is much about this particular criticism (of Tyler, the Creator) that is questionable. It amounts to the hammer of ideology being brought to bear on art, on expression in its purest form.

Our discourse on expression is already dominated by a monotonic political correctness.

In any given cultural situation, there is the implicit rule to check any slight deviation with a knee-jerk “that’s racist,” “that’s sexist” or the imperishable “that’s offensive.” I find much of the backlash to be in this facile, thoughtless vein. What makes it sinister is that this cultural autoimmune disease is infecting art.”

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call on Tuesday about a man sleeping in an elevator at the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center. The officer opened the elevator and found a man apparently asleep on the floor. The officer woke him up and the man exited the elevator and sat on a bench. The officer conducted a records check of the man and found that he had been warned by UAPD before about sleeping on a bench in the ILC. He had previously come into contact with the Tucson Police Department for trespassing and was no longer allowed in various locations around Tucson. The officer cited the man for loitering in or about a school and explained his court date to him. The man said he would be in California by the time his court date arrived so it didn’t matter. The officer then placed the man in handcuffs and booked him into Pima County Jail. The man received a one-year exclusionary order from UAPD.

A UAPD officer spoke to a professor on Tuesday who reported he had loaned a book to a student and it was never returned. The man said he had loaned his personal copy of “The Grammatical Structures of English and Spanish” to a student in February. He told the student he wanted his book back in a timely manner. After six months, the professor asked the student for his book back and the student said he would give it back soon. The professor has still not received the book. The professor said he did not wish to press charges, but only wanted his book returned. The book is valued at $32.50. The officer attempted to contact the student, but was only able to leave him a message on his cellphone. There is no further information.

Where the Green Gas goes A UAPD officer went to Cochise Residence Hall around 11 p.m. on Tuesday in response to a report of a resident who had a weapon in his room. The officer met with a witness who said that the resident had a pistol with a silencer in his room. The witness said he believed it was a Green Gas BB gun and that the resident kept it in his bed. The officer went to the room and asked the resident of he had a weapon of any kind in his room, including pellet guns. He said he did not and consented to a search of his side of the room. The officer pulled the covers off the bed and found a replica Heckler and Koch pistol with a silencer as well as two cans of Green Gas propellant. The resident admitted the items were his and said he knew he was not supposed to have the pistol on campus.

He said he intended to take it to a friend’s house, but he was unable to get there because he did not have a car. No other contraband was found in the room. The pistol and propellant were placed into evidence and a Code of Conduct violation form was completed for the student.

Arts & Life Staff

The story of an idealistic young man who falls in love with a girl who doesn’t believe love exists.

WHAT SHE’LL LIKE: It’s a touching, hilarious and refreshingly honest look at love and all the complications that come along with it. Skillfully directed and gorgeously shot by Eric Steelberg, “(500) Days of Summer” baffled cinephiles everywhere when it was overlooked at the 2009 Oscars.

WHAT YOU’LL LIKE: Ever love someone, only to have her take a big old nasty dump on your heart? While “(500) Days” doesn’t offer the consolation one might hope for — i.e. the life-ruining trollop isn’t run over by a bus — it still offers enough relatable insight to make you feel — even if only for a moment — like yes, someone out there does understand.

DAILY WILDCAT

It’s no secret that the choice of movie can make or break a romantic night in, which is why we at the Daily Wildcat have compiled this list of man-friendly chick flicks that, if all goes well, you might enjoy as much as she does. (Feel free to thank us later.) On Wednesday, we brought you the first five, now see which movies topped our list.

5. Jerry Maguire (1996)

Director: Cameron Crowe Starring: Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr., Renée Zellweger When a prominent sports agent suffers a nervous breakdown and gets fired from his job, he sets out to become a better man while struggling to satisfy the only client he has left.

WHAT SHE’LL LIKE: Five Oscar nominations. Two attractive leads. One adorable little kid. “You had me at hello.” “Jerry Maguire” is marvelously written, heart-wrenchingly poignant and all but guaranteed to make her cry.

WHAT YOU’LL LIKE: Kelly Preston having sex. Scratch that: Kelly Preston having insane sex. Her first line in the film: “Don’t ever stop fucking me.” Great men have argued this scene is better than porn, and great men are rarely wrong.

4. You’ve Got Mail (1998)

Director: Nora Ephron Starring: Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Greg Kinnear, Dave Chappelle Two small-business owners who hate each other in real life unknowingly fall in love over the internet.

WHAT SHE’LL LIKE: It’s directed and co-written by Nora Ephron, who brought us classics like “Sleepless In Seattle,” “Julie & Julia,” “When Harry Met Sally” and a whole slew of others. Also, it’s a Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks vehicle, which is hard to pass up. And

2

it’s about two people who love each other but don’t know it yet, which even I’ll admit is cute. Not to mention it’s a good movie for making out.

WHAT YOU’LL LIKE: You get to see Dave Chappelle before he was famous (he plays Tom Hanks’ goofy best friend in the film). And while his role isn’t laugh-out-loud funny, it’s still pretty neat to see what the guy was up to (aside from smoking weed) before everyone knew his name.

3. Mean Girls (2004)

Director: Mark Waters Starring: Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried A young girl falls in with the Plastics, the popular girl clique at her new high school. But when she develops a crush on the ex-boyfriend of a fellow Plastic, the claws come out, leading to a territorial battle that shakes the very foundations of the school.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF IMDB.COM

WHAT SHE’LL LIKE: “Mean Girls” has a sort of witty sensibility to it that, despite its being a teen film, feels oddly grown-up. And while it’s funnier than it is cute, you won’t find a film that more accurately nails the whole “survival of the fittest” mentality of high school.

WHAT YOU’LL LIKE: It’s written by Tina Fey, arguably the hottest nerd-girl in the universe. Second, it features Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried in slutbunny outfits. And third … all right, argue all you want, but there was a time when Lindsay Lohan was actually kind of hot, and “Mean Girls” provides a good little chance to brush up on that history.

2. (500) Days of Summer (2009)

Director: Marc Webb Starring: Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt

1. When Harry Met Sally (1989)

Director: Rob Reiner Starring: Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal A film that seeks to answer the age-old question: Can two people sleep together and still be friends?

WHAT SHE’LL LIKE: This one’s a no-brainer. “When Harry Met Sally” is about a relationship built on trust, wherein the lead couple doesn’t even sleep together until they’ve been friends for 12 years. Also, it’s written by Nora Ephron (see No. 4), whose work on the film earned her an Oscar nom for Best Original Screenplay.

WHAT YOU’LL LIKE: Look past the fact that it’s a Meg Ryan film, and you’ll find that “When Harry Met Sally” is one of the most genuine films about love and relationships to ever hit the silver screen. More than 20 years after its release, it’s still relevant and hilarious; hands down, there’s not a chick flick on Earth more man card-safe than this.

ast week in class, the professor placed everyone into groups to analyze some poetry. In my group, I tried speaking to a girl to facilitate the project and make the work go more quickly. After 15 minutes of blatant disinterest from her, I asked her a question out of frustration: “You don’t meet that many motivated people, do you?”

To which her response was a shrug, and then this gem: “No frat, no care.” She didn’t look up as she continued picking at her fingernails.

OK, Arizona, we need to have a talk.

This isolated incident represents more than just a single conversation; it reveals a collective mindset on this campus.

The incessant closing-off when meeting new people poisons the atmosphere for everyone and, in effect, severely limits the

the more closed off they become. As social circles establish themselves and grow more set in stone, there’s an inherent disadvantage for outsiders: the inability to force their way in. On top of the general disinterest and expectation that others will come to you, the intimidating level of familiarity among most established “friend groups” makes it nigh-impossible to break through these aforementioned barriers.

Hard to feel good about your chances if you plan on trying to expand your social circle any time soon.

Don’t panic quite yet, everyone, because we have an easy fix: Put down the iPad, log off of Facebook, ignore a text for more than a few minutes, look around when you go outside and move past your current ideas of what makes a person worthwhile and what doesn’t. It might just blow your mind and make you a few new friends in the process (whether they’re in a frat or not).

n this week’s Game Freak, I’m going to tell you about one of the easiest ways to game on the go. I’m speaking, of course, about apps.

Yes, since everyone and their mother seems to have a smartphone these days, app gaming is the unfortunate future of portable gaming.

Well, regardless of their often simple design when compared to the bigger portable gaming devices, like the Nintendo DS or PlayStation Portable, they’re often fun, easy and cheap, which is a plus.

The easiest way to find them, of course, is through the app store’s free app tab, but it’s always not the best option since, at most, there’s only 50 displayed at one time. Ironically, there’s an app that makes finding free apps easier. It’s called FreeAppWin, and it will show you all the current on-sale apps for free. The good news there is that you can get some apps that normally cost anywhere from $1-5 for free.

Granted, remember that since they’re free, they might not always be of the highest caliber, but they’re just one easy deletion from giving you back that valuable memory space.

I can’t just go ahead and assume everyone is as tight with money as I am though, so don’t take all this talk about free apps to mean you should stay away from the priced ones. It’s just there’s more of a risk since it could be both a bust and loss of money.

If you’re looking for a failsafe, there’s always Angry Birds, which is obviously battletested since it has more than 350 million downloads between all platforms and games. It’s guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment, even if it’s mindless.

Also, don’t forget your favorite games that you play on real boards, such as chess, checkers or even tic-tac-toe. I know I have spent many a lecture playing tic-tac-toe on my iPod Touch with the kind of cutie you always sit by but never have a real reason to talk to. Or maybe that’s just me.

Either way, it’s fun.

Don’t forget Words With Friends, because I know everyone can use a good lesson in the proper spelling. It’s fun too, and if you can resist cheating you might actually learn something. There’s a free version to boot, though you might have to put up with some ads.

In the same vein as my Fantasy Football column, there are also plenty of apps to keep you up to date on other games, like ESPN Scoreboard or ESPN Fantasy Football 2011. That way, not only can you keep up on the real games, but all your fantasy ones too.

The bottom line is that apps pretty much cover any base you can imagine. While the games aren’t rated AAA at the moment, that fact could change within the next couple years when big game companies get involved in making apps.

It’s happening, people, so sharpen your downloading skills before the rush.

The Velvet Brigade team encourages designers to embrace the creativity of the job while also remaining calm and sure that success will soon follow, McConnon said.

“We encourage them (aspiring designers) to pursue their dreams relentlessly and at all costs. They need to have thick skin since it’s a tough, competitive industry,” she said. “If fashion design or working in fashion is their passion, then they will ultimately accomplish their goals through hard work and doing what they love.”

Only five designs can be submitted for voting in a given period, with winners announced monthly.

‘No frat, no care?’ Really? “college experience.” If you’re the type to not respond to others in class, at parties and at club gatherings, you’re actively participating in High School 2.0. In case you can’t already tell, college is supposed to be that time in life where everyone grows up; part of this is ignoring your preconceived stereotypes and opening up your boundaries. Unfortunately, there’s a heavy case being made against our “Internet Generation” and its increasing levels of eccentricity (read: rate of general failure). The New York Times went so far as to ask the question in August 2010: “What Is It About 20-Somethings?”

We’re losing this fight, guys. Badly.

While technology likely has much to do with the decreasing social tendencies of our generation’s best and brightest, it isn’t the sole cause. In my personal experience, it has much to do with a low work ethic, a sense of entitlement in many rich kids growing up in American suburbia and generally the highest level of “crap tolerance” the world has seen yet.

In a strange twist of logic, the further people progress in their college careers,

Dim the lights, set the ‘mood’

By Jason Krell Daily Wildcat

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine teachers outside of campus, but it’s important to remember they do more than try to teach us.

There’s no better example than the new play showing at the Invisible Theatre from now until Sept. 25. Kathleen Clark’s 85-minute show called “In the Mood,� stars two UA professors.

Kevin Black, an associate professor of practice, and Betsy Kruse Craig, an adjunct instructor, teach in the School of Theatre, Film and Television.

This is Black’s sixth year at the UA, teaching a wide array of classes for theater majors and even some of the general education classes. But he spent many years in the professional world before coming to the university.

Starting at the age of 17, he’s acted in both major markets, New York and Los Angeles, doing everything from the classics and Shakespeare to brand new plays like “In the Mood.� Black is also a part of the Arizona Repertory Theatre, acting alongside students to teach by example.

Craig, on the other hand, actually started off as a graduate assistant 15 years ago while pursuing her master’s degree, coming back four years ago after working Photo Courtesy of The Invisible Theatre Company on her professional career and teaching at UA professors Betsy Kruse Craig, far right, and Kevin Black, middle, act in a scene for “In The Mood.�

Review

Acting profs set right tone There’s a good chance you haven’t heard of the Invisible Theatre before, unless you’re a theater student at the UA. This is an egregious error. Sadly, many students fail to appreciate the benefits that theater can offer. Might I suggest spending a night seeing “In the Mood�?

Not only was it fun to see UA professors practicing what they preach in the classroom, but the show itself was phenomenal. It seems ridiculous not to find anything that could use improvement, but “In the Mood� really covered its bases.

To start, the entire cast brought the show to life, making the audience feel sympathy for characters who deserve it.

Betsy Kruse Craig, an adjunct professor in the School of Theatre, Film and Television, was quick-witted in character and easy to relate to. Her character, Perri Rubin, is married to an unfaithful man named Derek, played by another UA professor, Kevin Black.

And though it’s hard to imagine that a person could make a cheater believably sincere, even Derek comes off this way by the end.

It’s established very early on that he’s two-timing Perri by bringing another woman home to their apartment, but eventually it becomes clear Derek is in love with the person he’s cheating with.

Sure, it doesn’t make what he’s done any more excusable, but props to Black for performing the rare feat of conjuring sympathy for an unsympathetic character.

The rest of the cast was impressive as well. Nick (Bruce Morganti) was excellent as a clever observer of the insanity, while Carolyn (Lori Hunt) made being “the other woman� seem like not such a terrible thing, once her motivations were understood.

Edward (Jack Neubeck) and Sally (Polly Bourke Schlitz) also made an adorable and unlikely couple, with the former hilariously oblivious and the latter down to earth and real. When you consider how characterdriven the show is, it becomes even more wonderful that everyone is so talented.

The set was well-done too, in a very classic sense that was evocative of a more elegant time, though it’s set in modern day.

It was well-written, with plenty of humor to be found along with the very real nature it conveyed.

All in all, a fantastic effort. — Jason Krell

Foles, Luck friendship on hold

By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

Nick Foles versus Andrew Luck.

The NCAA’s leading passer against the projected No. 1 draft pick.

Two close friends and their respective teams collide this Saturday as No. 6 Stanford meets Foles’ Wildcats at Arizona Stadium on ESPN at 7:45 p.m.

“Andrew and I are tight,” said Foles, who spent the summer with Luck at the Manning Passing Academy. “I think fundamentally he’s more polished than I am. But when we hit the field, none of that matters and we both want to win.”

Foles and Arizona’s coaches have repeatedly told the media not to buy into a Foles-against-Luck matchup.

“It’s not him versus Andrew,” said quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo.

Added head coach Mike Stoops: “I don’t think (Foles) really even thinks about who’s across Andrew Luck Stanford from him.”

Foles and quarterback Luck will never be on the field at that same time. All the two touted quarterbacks can control is making their reads and delivering the ball in the right spots.

But in reality, each quarterback is the face of his respective squad, and a big game for Foles would remind NFL scouts why he’s leading the country in completions, completion percentage and passing yards through two games.

If the 6-foot-5, 240-pound quarterback outplays his counterpart on national television in a competitive game, it’ll be safe to talk about him with the nation’s elite — a status he has yet to acquire despite throwing for 810 yards, completing 71 balls and 76.3 percent of his passes so far this season.

“I said the other day I think he’s extremely underrated,” Stanford head

coach David Shaw said during a Pac12 conference call. “You look at his efficiency and the numbers he’s put up in the last few years, his name never gets brought up when they take about some of the best quarterbacks in the nation.

“But when you talk about the numbers, he’s up there, he’s a dangerous guy that reads coverages well,” Shaw continued. “He throws the ball accurately and he’s got a quick release. I don’t know what else you could be looking for in a quarterback.”

Between Foles’ hot start to 2011 and his stellar 2010 campaign, he’s put up similar numbers to those of top arms like Luck and Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden. Last season he threw for 290.1 yards per game to Luck’s 256.3.

Luck did throw for 12 more touchdowns and is, as Foles said, the more polished quarterback. But Foles has proven he deserves to be in the discussion.

“He gets kind of overshadowed,” Stoops said. “He’s throwing for 800 yards, six touchdowns, no interceptions and really it’s an afterthought.”

The difference is that Luck leads one of college football’s top teams, while Foles and the Wildcats are still mired in mediocrity after three consecutive bowl appearances. Winning is everything for quarterbacks. Last Thursday, Foles edged out Weeden throwing for 398 yards and a score, but that goes forgotten in an embarrassing defeat. So for Foles to be considered on the same level as Luck, Weeden and other top quarterbacks, the Wildcats can’t lie down against the Cardinal on Saturday.

A competitive game would go a long way for the Wildcats, as well as for Foles’ NFL draft stock and notoriety throughout the nation.

But to Foles, none of that matters.

“I don’t care if I’m underrated, rated, whatever,” he said. “I just like hitting the field and playing ball.

That’s really what matters.”

GORDON BATES / DAILY WILDCAT

Quarterback Nick Foles and his Stanford counterpart, Andrew Luck, have become good friends after attending FOOTBALL, 12 media blitzes and passing camps together. They will meet Saturday in a highly anticipated quarterback battle.

PLAYERS TO

COMMENTARY

Running in place

Arizona’s offense can’t just talk about running the football Arizona football fans are going to find out how serious the Wildcats are about being a complete team on Saturday against No. 6 Stanford.

Getting pasted 37-14 at then-No. 9 Oklahoma State, the Wildcats’ first showdown with a top-10 team didn’t go well, and Arizona rushed for a whopping two yards per carry in that beating. That miserable showing led to a week of UA’s coaches talking about being committed to running the ball.

“Some of it’s my job as a coach, calling it more,” offensive coordinator Seth Littrell said. “We’ve just got to get better at it.”

Now it’s time for the Wildcats to show they’re serious.

For the past two years, Arizona’s lack of a run game has been painfully clear. Red zone and short-yardage struggles have been as much a part of the Wildcat offense as the Nick Foles to Juron Criner connection.

It’s clear that the current formula —

Stoops is right. It’s a combination of all three.

Arizona doesn’t run the ball enough to be effective at it, has a very inexperienced O-line and isn’t playing the one running back on the roster than can Alex Williams create things on his own.

Mohammed Usman/CJ Parish While the UA secondary has been bad, the Wildcats’ defensive line hasn’t shown up either. Highenergy defensive ends Mohammed Usman and CJ Parish got a lot of pub in the preseason for their relentless motors. But that energy has yet to shine through this season, although they each picked up a sack against NAU. To give Arizona’s secondary a chance, its defensive line needs to put pressure on Luck, and that starts with Usman and Parish.

Shaquille Richardson The true sophomore cornerback has had a nightmarish start to the 2011 season. NAU torched him and Oklahoma State’s Justin Blackmon twisted, turned and blew by him for two scores and 128 yards. Stoops will stick with Richardson through the tough times, but it won’t get any easier this week when he faces Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and lethal receiver Chris Owusu.

Stanford is one of the most complete teams in the country.

In contrast, Arizona is filled with holes. The Wildcats still don’t have a run game, their secondary is missing in action and they’ve shown little ability to pressure the quarterback.

While the UA has an advantage opening Pac-12 play at home, it couldn’t come against a worse team. The Cardinal should handle the Wildcats easily as Luck should shred Arizona’s defense, leaving UA’s offense scrambling and one-dimensional yet again. Stanford wins big.

Stanford 45, Arizona 17

For a secondary that got torched by Brandon Weeden and allowed 16 consecutive completions to NAU quarterback Cary Grossart, a showdown with No. 6 Stanford and quarterback Andrew Luck couldn’t come at a worse time. Luck’s clearly the nation’s top quarterback, and he has big-play receiver Chris Owusu out wide. Stanford also plays a physical brand of football on both offense and defense — something the Wildcats have struggled badly with the past two seasons. Arizona’s offense will move the ball between the 20s, but the lack of a run game will keep the Wildcats out of the end zone.

Stanford 49, Arizona 24

Let’s face it, Stanford hasn’t really been tested in its first two games. After obliterating San Jose State and Duke, the No. 6 Cardinal’s ranking might be a little too high considering the time it took it to pull away in both those games. While Arizona’s secondary has been shaky, the Cardinal hasn’t faced a quarterback like Nick Foles yet this season. Foles will be Foles — he’s leading the NCAA in passing yards and will probably throw for another 400 — but the Wildcats will need to figure out how to run the ball if they want to win.

Arizona XC hosts Dave Murray Invite Full team competes for first time at Tucson’s Dell Urich Golf Course

By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat

The No. 10 Arizona women’s and unranked men’s crosscountry teams will host the Dave Murray Invitational today.

They will compete against NAU, the ASU men’s team and several Arizona community colleges.

The race, held at the Dell Urich Golf Course in Tucson, is the second race of the season for the Wildcats. And unlike the George Kyte Classic on Sept. 3, the invitational will feature a majority of the team, including 11 Wildcats making their season debut.

“We pretty much will run everybody this race,” said head coach James Li. “People who are ready to do some kind of race will run.”

“I am excited to take a look at members of the team to begin their season and give the coaches (sophomore) Lawi Lalang, on the

men’s side, who is going to run his first cross-country race for the University of Arizona,” Li said. “And I will be looking forward to see,

on the women’s side, obviously (junior) Jen Bergman and (sophomore) Elvin Kibet, and really just a host of our new freshmen people on both men’s and women’s side.

I’m just looking forward to seeing them run and perform.”

The NAU men’s team is No. 11 nationally while the ASU men are just ahead of the UA at fourth in the West region. The women’s competition is not quite as daunting, as NAU is unranked and ninth in the Mountain region. The ASU women’s team is not traveling to Tucson. Neither ASU nor NAU are sending their full teams.

The men will begin their 4.25mile race at 5 p.m., and the women will follow with their three-mile race at 5:45 p.m.

“We are generally pretty familiar with the (Dell Urich Golf Course),” Li said. “(The invitational) is a little bit shorter than the standard racing distance, so we are just definitely going out there and getting everybody a chance to get in the race and really just stay ready for next week’s Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis.”

Women’s soccer aims to end loss streak Wildcats look to last game for momentum to break 0-6 start

Six straight losses. That’s a streak “We finally scored a goal, which no sports team wants following it was nice, and that came from the around, especially not early in the hard work and dedication of some season. players,” said head coach Lisa Oyen.

On Sunday, Junior defender Alex Smith the Wildcats will face Texas Tech at thinks that those two scores against 6 p.m.

Here’s a quick look at what’s been Oklahoma are key to getting the seagoing right, what’s been going wrong son on the right track.

“I mean, it can only get better and what the Wildcats are looking to than what we have been doing so far, do in the near future: so I mean, I really just hope that we can just not get down on ourselves Goal-scoring and keep the momentum going and keep pushing forward,” Smith said.

After being held scoreless for Oyen said she believes the goals

were bound to happen eventually, and that things are going to start going the team’s way.

“The law of probability is in our favor now, so it was a matter of time,” Oyen said. “We’ve had opportunities. We’ve had enough shots.

It’s just really good to see that we can put the ball at the back of the net.”

Overcoming inexperience The Wildcat roster includes only one senior — goalkeeper Ashley Jett — and has 15 underclassmen out of 25 players. But has that been a factor in the team’s struggles?

“It could be. We definitely have made some mistakes that we shouldn’t have,” Jett said.

She isn’t completely convinced that’s the sole reason for the struggles, however, as the two goals scored last weekend were both by freshmen.

“It’s been up and down,” Jett said.

“We’ve definitely had moments where we’ve looked really good and looked like we’ve been planning on doing in practice and we’ve also had moments where we just broke down and that’s how a lot of our goals have been scored.”

Confidence remains Frustration has been a factor in the team’s struggles in recent games.

“Sometimes we come out pretty hard,” Smith said, “but if we can’t find the back of the net right away we get frustrated. I think we just have to keep working together as a group and not get frustrated with the fact that if we can’t find the back of the net in the first 15 (minutes), we’re going to find it eventually.”

The general sentiment among the team seems to be that it is a lot more talented than its record indicates, and although the Wildcats might feel downtrodden at the

moment, with hard work things will get better.

“We know that we have the talent, our record doesn’t show how much talent we have at all,” Jett said. “The confidence is still there, morale is a little bit down just because of our record but we know that we can still improve through the rest of the season.”

Looking ahead Pac-12 play commences next weekend when the Wildcats travel to Palo Alto, Calif., to take on the Stanford Cardinal. The general feeling among team leaders is that the only thing the team can do at this point is move forward.

“We can’t afford to look back anymore,” Jett said. “We have to fight for every win now that we’re down in the rankings. We have to fight to still make the turn at the end and still make a good performance in the Pac-12.”

Chicago’s clock ticking toward tougher curfew Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Edward Da’Quan Smith dangled upside down, his lower legs wrapped around the metal rungs of the monkey bars at Kenwood Community Park. On a recent Tuesday night, the Chicago South Side park was abandoned except for the boy’s family — a rambunctious trio of children racing around the playground under the watchful eye of Da’Quan’s mother.

“When it’s dark, people can hide in the shadows,” said Da’Quan, somersaulting to the ground and landing firmly on his feet.

“In every little corner, there is a piece of the dark where they can hide.”

Even at 10 years old, the fourth grader grasps the dangers facing children on Chicago’s streets. “It’s in the night time that violence breaks out,” said Da’Quan, with a glance toward his mother, who

smiled in approval.

With the aim of protecting children from that violence, Chicago officials passed a new, tighter curfew that goes into effect on Sunday. Fines for parents who repeatedly ignore the law are also going up to $1,500, according to the new rules.

According to police statistics, evening hours immediately following the new 8:30 p.m. curfew are some of the most deadly.

An analysis of homicides that occurred in the first half of 2010 found murders spiked between the hours of 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., for a total of 29 dead over the course of six months. According to figures provided by Chicago Public Schools, young people are often the victims.

During the 2010-2011 school year, CPS reports that 256 students were shot, and 27 of those children were killed.

Man: Yeah, but if I graduate on time, I have to go be boring somewhere else.

On the spot

The Elliott Donnelley Youth Center in Bronzeville, one of eight Chicago Youth Centers on the South and West sides, serves youth ages 5 to 18. Center Director Rebecca Bunn said the possible perils awaiting young children allowed to wander alone at night are myriad.

“The first thing that comes to mind is child abduction and of course violent crime,” said Bunn, who agrees with the city’s decision to move up curfew for children under 12. “If they are out that late at night, then there is a high risk of being a victim of a crime.”

But some youth advocates have questioned the constitutionality of curfew laws.

And while most parents agree that young children should not be allowed to wander alone at night, some are not convinced the Chicago police will actually enforce the new curfew.

Tell your folks you love ’em next weekend Did you know it’s Family Weekend Sept. 23-25?

Yes, I did know that.

Are your parents coming out?

They are not.

Any particular reason why not?

They live really far away in Minnesota.

Yeah.

Will you tell them that you love them?

Of course.

Are you worried about the crowds this weekend?

No, I love big crowds. I’m more excited than worried.

And I’m excited for the football game.

FOOTBALL

from page 8

Foles said the two friends, who met at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn., last July, will meet and greet before and after the game. But once they hit the field that friendship goes by the wayside, as Luck attempts to keep Stanford in the top 10 and Foles aims to shock the Cardinal to open up Pac-12 play.

“Even if it takes me throwing two yards, winning the game is the most important thing,” Foles said. “The rest of that stuff, that will happen later down the road.

It’s fun going against a team like Stanford, No. 6 in the nation.

Andrew’s a great player, he’s a big part of that.

“If we get the win that’s the only thing that matters.”

Keith Hickman-Perfetti/ Daily Wildcat

Outside hitter Courtney Karst prepares for an approach against Eastern Washington on Sept. 3 in McKale Center. The Wildcats open the season against a ranked Oregon squad in Eugene, Ore., today, facing a Ducks team that recently upset the defending national champion Penn State Nittany Lions.

Volleyball faces No. 16 Oregon Arizona opens Pac-12 season in Eugene after a week’s improvement

By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat

It’s conference time for the Arizona volleyball team, and the Wildcats are ready to take on the other 11 teams.

“I’m just ready to get out there and prove to everyone that we’re here and we’re going to make some noise,” said freshman setter Chloe Mathis.

Today, the Wildcats will make their opening statement in the Pac-12 Conference against the No. 16 Oregon Ducks at the Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Ore. Their visible progress is making head coach Dave Rubio optimistic.

“I think that we’ve certainly made some good improvement from the first week of play,” Rubio said. “But I like where we are at, everyone’s in the same boat, and we’re going to try and win on the road now.”

Oregon recently defeated last year’s national champion, No. 5 Penn State — a major upset in college volleyball.

“Oregon is a year older and they’ve added a couple of different players, who have really added to their ability to play at a higher level,” Rubio said. “Not only are they a year older, which means they’re probably a bit steadier and making less unforced errors, but they added some really good pieces too. I think that’s why they went in and were able to beat Penn State.”

The day after it faces Oregon, Arizona will take on the Oregon State Beavers at the Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Ore. “Oregon State has been somewhat of an enigma,” Rubio said.

“They had a couple early season losses to teams that you wouldn’t think they’d lose to, then last week they beat (No. 24) Long Beach State (at home), which as we know, is a very good team.”

As for the Wildcats’ probability of sweeping the teams for the third consecutive week, Rubio remains pragmatic.

“Until we are actually there in the heat of battle, will I look and say, ‘Holy smokes, we don’t have a chance’? Or will I look at it and say, ‘OK, we’re in the game, we just need to do some things better?’”

Players

from page 8

game against the Wildcats last season, grabbing nine balls for 165 yards and a touchdown. He’s electric on the outside and should give the Arizona secondary fits. He missed six games last season with a knee injury but is back, healthy this year, and already has 14 catches for 182 yards and a touchdown.

Shayne Skov Stanford’s junior linebacker has been all over the field through two games, leading one of the top defensive groups in the country. So far this season, Skov has had 18 tackles, 4.0 tackles for a loss and 1.5 sacks.

Stanford’s entire front seven is as tough as they come. Quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo called them the college equivalent to the Steelers, and Skov is the one to keep an eye on this Saturday.
