UA soccer coach Tobias resigns By Kevin Zimmerman and Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Athletic Director Jim Livengood announced yesterday that Dan Tobias resigned as the Arizona head soccer coach. With his team touting a Pacific 10 Conference-worst 3-9-1 record, Tobias
issued a statement after ending his seventh year as head coach: “It is with great sadness that, for personal reasons, I am stepping down from the head coach position,” Tobias said. “I would like to thank (UA President) Robert Shelton, Jim Livengood, (Senior Associate Athletic Director) Rocky LaRose and the entire Wildcat family for affording me such a great
opportunity at one of the nation’s finest universities and one of the country’s best athletic departments.” Most recently, starting midfielder Leila Amini decided to leave the team, becoming the ninth player to leave the program over the last year. “The soccer environment has been deteriorating for the past few years since I been here,” Amini told the
Daily Wildcat. “People in the past have brought up issues to try to change the environment for the better, but unfortunately I don’t see any effort toward these changes.” Assistant coaches John Galas and Lisa Oyen will immediately replace Tobias as co-interim head coaches. Arizona has seven games remaining on its schedule. COACH, page 5

A worker on the future Sky Bar site, a stargazing bar next door to Brooklyn Pizza Company, begins the task of cleaning up after a day’s work. Sky Bar is the brainchild of Tony Vaccaro, the owner of Brooklyn Pizza Company.
Brooklyn Pizza Company owner to open stargazing bar Fourth Avenue to host universethemed lounge
By Michelle Cohen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Tony Vaccaro had an epiphany while floating down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho on his annual vacation. Vaccaro, owner of Brooklyn Pizza Company and lifelong astronomy enthusiast, had been contemplating what to do with the empty storefront he also owns next to his pizza shop,
534 N. Fourth Ave., for a few years. His decision? Build a bar with a view of the stars. “I mulled over a few ideas,” he said. “I wanted to do something unique, inspirational and educational just because bars seem to be the opposite of all those things.” Vaccaro chose not to renew the lease on the nightclub North on Fourth, 536 N. Fourth Ave., which previously occupied the space and
closed last month, he said. Sky Bar, expected to open Oct. 31 or shortly after, will serve Brooklyn pizza and feature a full bar, outdoor patio for stargazing and a Celestron CPC 800 telescope wired to a camera to display images on a television inside the bar, he said. “Every night of the week, we’ll be taking deep-space images of nebulae, SKYBAR, page 7
Campus Health Services has run out of vaccinations for the seasonal flu and will not be receiving more, an official said. Campus Health depleted its reserve of the shots after an Oct. 3 rush where close to 500 were given out, said spokesperson Terri West. “And that was it,” she said. No new seasonal-flu shots will be delivered to the UA because pharmaceutical companies have stopped producing them in favor of the H1N1 vaccine, set to arrive on campus in early November, West said. In the meantime, she said, requests for the seasonal shots have continued to pour in, though she could not cite an exact number of denied persons because Campus Health does not keep request records. However, “it looks like we’re starting to increase again,” West said of the seasonal-flu epidemic on campus. Campus Health officials have been referring those in need of shots to clinics run by Mollen Immunization Clinics — a national immunization provider — near campus. Most of those clinics are still well stocked, West said. — Arizona Daily Wildcat

Club provides for UA student wins Miss Pima County pious greeks By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
By Marissa Freireich ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Religious members of the Greek Life community have an opportunity to express their faith with their peers through a new organization on campus. GreekVenture is a club that allows students to discuss both religion and their association with the greek community. The group meets every other Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Coyote Room of Park Student Union. “I think it’s a great place where women and men from different houses can come together and connect on a spiritual basis,” said Julia Saad, a math junior who founded the club. Saad has been a member of the Chi Omega sorority since her freshman year. “It’s important to remember that you can bring into Greek Life who
you are,”she said. A different greek bible study group was on campus a few years ago but is no longer in existence, Saad said. “Greek Life is really important to me and so is my faith,”she said. Saad said she wanted to have a group where students involved with Greek Life could discuss ideas about their faith and how it applies to their lives. Greek Venture is part of Cru at UA, a Christian organization on campus that has chapters internationally as part of Campus Crusade for Christ. Cru at UA is a Christian organization, but people from all faiths are welcome to attend. Cru at UA meets weekly at 7:30 p.m. in Koffler 218 and has about 80 members.

The Miss Pima County crown was passed this weekend from one UA student to another. Kathryn Bulkley, veterinary sciences freshman, was named Miss Pima County 2010 after Tanya Valladares, physiology senior and Miss Pima County 2009, “passed the torch” to Bulkley on Saturday night. As the audience cheered in the auditorium of Flowing Wells High School , Bulkley’s sorority sisters in Chi Omega all shouted her name in excitement. “It’s my dream to be Miss America and this is the very first stepping stone to the rest of my life,” Bulkley said. Bulkley sang “Nessun Dorma,” an opera piece from the final act of Giacomo Puccini’s opera “Turandot.” Bulkley has been involved in pageants since she was a junior in high school. She entered this year’s Miss Pima Ashlee Salamon/Arizona Daily Wildcat County pageant to earn money for Veterinary science freshman Katy Bulkley displays her college, she said. Bulkley received two previous pageant crowns. $1,679 for winning according to the

pageant’s Web site. The competition is a great way for women to“get out there and express how they feel on certain issues,”she said. Her outreach platform was the “ABCs of Water Safety.” Bulkley was a lifeguard for four years and said she would like to educate families on drowning prevention, because drowning has become a serious issue in Arizona . It is a requirement to raise $100 to be a contestant in the pageant, which supports the Children’s Miracle Network, she said. Bulkley’s family has shown a great deal of support as well. Her mother Pamela Bulkley, Miss Hawaii 1981 , said she was proud that to see her daughter competing, but Kathryn Bulkley made it clear that the pageant was not forced upon her. “My mother doesn’t put any pressure on me, she isn’t one of those typical pageant moms,” she said. Kathryn Bulkley said one of her goals in competing was to break down
