Halloween comes early Annual carnival provides games, candy and activities to local community, families

By Savannah Martin DAILY WILDCAT

The Order of Omega Greek Honorary hosted “Greek or Treat,” a family Halloween carnival, for the 11th year in a row on Wednesday.

Families from across the UA and Tucson communities gathered on First Street to play games and trick-or-treat at booths set up by various sororities and fraternities.

The event was meant to provide families with a safe environment to celebrate the holiday.

Students and children dressed as fairies, dinosaurs, cowboys, bananas, gladiators, Angry Birds and countless other characters swarmed the street. Some of the children played musical chairs, decorated cookies or had their faces painted as their caretakers watched from the sidelines. Others walked up and down the carnival with their families, stopping at each table to stuff their bags with candy.

“It is very important to create an atmosphere for the children so that they can see college isn’t about just studying. It’s about having fun, too,” said Lisette Barragan, a junior studying psychology and Mexican-American Studies and member of Lambda Theta Alpha sorority. She went on to add that she hopes the event will encourage kids to go to college.

The primary purpose of “Greek or Treat” is to give children a safe place to enjoy the holiday and take some of the stress out of the celebration for parents and guardians.

Barricades prevented cars and bikes from entering the area and the University of Arizona Police Department educated families about how to have a danger-free Halloween.

Beth Wilson, a UAPD officer, said the event creates a bond between families and the UA, making the university more accessible to the surrounding community.

According to several Greek Life members, the carnival forms ties within the Greek community, as well.

“It builds the Greek Life camaraderie and it shows us (Greek organizations) in a more positive light,”

It was platforms versus popularity as the ASUA Senate debated which weekdays would encourage the highest voter turnout during its Wednesday meeting.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate weighed whether primary elections should span Monday and Tuesday or Tuesday and Wednesday.

The basis of the debate was over how many organizations meet on those days.

According to a report from ASUA President James Allen, 109 UA organizations have meetings on Mondays, 77 on Tuesdays and 68 on Wednesdays.

Several senators raised concerns about having Monday be an election day since many Greek Life organizations have meetings that fall on that day. The primary concern was that candidates would be able to campaign for collective votes by visiting Greek Life organizations during their meeting times.

Sen. Jason Brown said elections are not supposed to be a popularity contest, but rather a reflection of a candidate’s platform. Sen. Kevin Elliot responded that elections are indeed a popularity contest, whether they should be or not.

Allen said the debate should not be happening at this point and that the issue should be about how to best

Fifty cogeneration solar panels will be installed on the roof of the Villa del Puente Residence Hall in November, adding another form of solar energy to the UA’s sustainability efforts.

Cogenra Solar, a company based in Mountain View, Calif., is installing the solar panels, which will combine the traditional photovoltaic and solar hot water systems to create a much more efficient and cost-effective source of energy, according to Cogenra. The energy will provide electricity for everyday things such as lighting, showering and doing laundry. The UA is the first university in the country to collaborate with Cogenra and employ its solar solutions.

“Student housing is a great application,” Brown said. “Anywhere where you’re using large amounts of water on a relatively consistent basis — hospitality, health care, correctional facilities — there’s a lot of cleanup, water and general process water used in all kinds of products that consumers use on a daily basis.”

UA professor gives UN report Addresses indigenous rights and how they interact with current legal issues in the US

By Alexandra Bortnik Daily Wildcat

A UA law professor presented a report at a committee meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on Oct. 17.

S. James Anaya, regents’ professor in the James E. Rogers College of Law and Special Rapporteur to the United Nations, presented his third annual report to the United Nations member states during a meeting of the Third Committee held in New York.

In the report, Anaya addressed the global issue of the rights of indigenous peoples. He also pointed out Arizona’s high population of indigenous people.

“Arizona has indigenous peoples living throughout the state and they’re facing issues that are in many respects of concern to the general population and to the world, and people should just be aware about the basic issues … the barriers they often face, and face for historical reasons,” Anaya said. “Unfortunately, there is discrimination that happens against Native Americans … they have numerous sacred sites, sacred places that are under threat.”

The San Francisco Peaks, north of Flagstaff, are an example of sacred territory that is currently under threat.

“There is a desecration of the sacred mountain happening by virtue of plans to use sewage water to make artificial snow there,” Anaya said.

Karen Begay, special adviser to the president on Native American affairs at the UA, said the university is currently developing its own tribal consultation policy. The framework for the policy will come from the existing Arizona Board of Regents’ Tribal Consultation Policy.

Begay said the policy’s goal is to improve how the UA works with tribal communities in the areas of research, teaching and public service.

“It’s important that we have an understanding of the process and expectations for our university in negotiating with the tribes” in terms of their needs, governmental systems and partnership rights, Begay said.

One of the primary issues that the policy will address is the way in which institutions research tribal communities, according to Begay.

“We want there to be collaboration with the tribal communities that are being researched,” Begay said. “We don’t want there to be these continued institutions doing research on tribes, but institutions doing research with tribes.”

Begay also said that institutions haven’t worked as closely with tribal communities as they should.

“We have not sat down at the table and discussed these things with the tribes, and I think now tribes are beginning to assert their own position and authority to say that’s no longer going to happen,” Begay said.

The UA is the first state university system to enforce a policy of this nature and will set the precedent for other state systems, according to Begay.

“The development of this policy is really important for the University of Arizona because of our land grant status … we have an obligation to the members of our state to ensure that we’re doing the good work that our mission says we do,” Begay said.

Anaya said there have been significant advancements in terms of greater awareness in regards to governmental authorities, both in the United States and internationally. Some of these advancements were adopted by the United Nations in 2007 with a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Rights include “rights to basic survival, rights to control their own destinies, the right to maintain their own cultures, the right to maintain their connections with their traditional lands, their sacred places,” Anaya said.

“The U.S., while they didn’t initially vote for it, did reverse positions last year and endorsed it formally … now the challenge is to see that policy implemented,” he said.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

The three drunketeers A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol near Second Street and Olive Road around 12 a.m. on Saturday when he noticed three women stumbling and having trouble maintaining their balance. The officer stopped them and asked if they were OK. He smelled a strong odor of alcohol coming from them. The women all said they were 18 years old and submitted to a preliminary breath test. All three women tested positive for alcohol. The women said they were at a party at an apartment off campus and they were walking back to their rooms at Coconino Residence Hall. The three women were cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Woman over celebrates first birthday A UAPD officer responded to Posada San Pedro Residence Hall at 2 a.m. on Saturday in reference to an intoxicated woman. The woman passed out in the bathroom and Tucson Fire Department paramedics treated her at the scene. The woman told the officer that she had nine shots of Captain Morgan at a friend’s house, but would not give her friend’s name or address. She said her birthday was Oct. 21, 2011, but corrected herself and told the officer she had just turned 19. The woman had a strong odor of alcohol coming from her mouth and had red, watery eyes. She was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Burrito bandit busted A UAPD officer responded to the Sigma Kappa sorority house at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday in reference to a disturbance that occurred at a philanthropy event. The officer met with the sorority member coordinating the event, who reported that a man wearing a blue and red wrestling mask with horns had stolen food and a sign and had kicked over a garbage can. The woman thought the man was a Sigma Alpha Epsilon member because the sorority had just dealt with a group of them who had been trying to get free food, which was only for participants of the event. The man came up to the table and asked for food and “agua” in very poor Spanish, the woman said. She said she thought he had been drinking because of his lack of balance and his behavior. The woman and another sorority member tried to close the double doors of the house, but the man held them open. He grabbed the woman’s arm but she pushed him away and was able to close the doors. She said the man left, and then returned a few minutes later and violently shook the doors. The man kicked over a garbage can and pulled down a banner for Chipotle, which was sponsoring the event. He ran down the alley with the banner.

The officer went to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house and saw a man who matched the description in the courtyard. When the officer asked the man to step outside, he said to another fraternity member, “Well, I’m going to jail.” He told the officer he had not been at the sorority house and he did not know where the banner was. He had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his mouth. Three out of four women from the sorority positively identified the man as the one who had caused the disturbance at the house. The man was arrested on charges of assault, theft, disorderly conduct and minor in possession of alcohol in body. The banner was found and returned to Sigma Kappa.

Debt hurts student’s ability to grow up Caroline Nachazel Daily Wildcat

T

he Occupy Wall Street movement has brought attention to student loan debt.

Students tuition bills are trumping credit card debt, with loan debts reaching $1 trillion this year.

Gone are the days where college served as a downright path to success, guaranteeing a good job and financial security.

Students that owe thousands in loan debt when they graduate are left with minimal choices.

They can either work incredibly diligently and save every dime for paying off the loan or resort to financial help from family members.

The Occupy Wall Street movement has included “free college education” in its list of demands, which is obnoxious, however many students have expressed their debt concerns on the We Are the 99 Percent Tumblr. “I am a 20-year-old college student. I have thousands of (dollars in) debt for every year and I am only halfway through college,” writes one student on the forum. “When I go home, I find no “ Any plan food in the fridge. involving Food is, apparently, less important than decreasing the bills in today’s student debt world.”

In today’s economy is helpful, but student loans don’t it is still not just help us through enough concollege, they ruin sidering the families. Parents outrageous will do just about anything to help us $1 trillion in out when we ask, student loan but is putting them debt.” in risk of default or bankruptcy worth the help?

When students graduate owing thousands in debt, it is impossible for them to live out their career dreams they worked so hard for in school. Time is money. The longer it takes to pay off a loan, the more the debt increases. Student loans 101: pay them off as you go. How is that even an option when students can barely afford to pay rent or are not able to have a job during school?

In 2009, President Barack Obama made an income-based repayment plan that forgives student debt to those who pay 15 percent of their income for 25 years. The plan reduced the amount of years to 10 for those who work in public service. Any plan involving decreasing student debt is helpful, but it is still not enough considering the outrageous $1 trillion in student loan debt.

A recent Rasmussen Report conducted a national telephone survey asking if students feel that the federal government should forgive loans. Shockingly, only 21 percent think student loans should be taken care of, 66 percent are opposed, leaving 13 percent undecided.

These results show that graduating young adults strive to live and act independently. That is the whole point of going to college and earning a degree. Although it doesn’t seem like it now, in the midst of college life with all its freedom and minimal responsibility, there will come a time when we want to grow up. Unfortunately, student loan debt is a major roadblock to “growing up.”

On the brighter side, there is a small ounce of financial hope left for students who do not want to spend the majority of their lives paying off college. Finaid.org, a leading site for student financial support and opportunity, advertises November as National Scholarship Month. According to the site, there are 1.5 million scholarships available, equating to more than $3.4 billion in free money. Where does this money come from when these days there is more debt than credit? Who knows and who cares? The best advice out there for students in loan debt is to apply for these scholarships that are practically waiting to give us money.

We can continue to watch occupiers protest for free education but realistically, students will have to face their debt one way or the other.

Former University of Arizona football player Rob Gronkowski, now a member of the New England Patriots, ruffled some feathers when he shed his shirt and took a photograph with adult film star Bibi Jones. Gronkowski claims the photograph, which was posted on Jones’ Twitter, was not intended to hurt anyone and was “just a simple picture.” The photograph shows Gronkowski shirtless and Jones wearing his Patriots jersey. Jones claims that nothing happened between the two, although she admits she wishes something did happen, and that Gronkowski approved of her posting the photo on Twitter. Apparently Gronkowski wanted to take advantage of her much larger following on the social networking site.

Seriously? Gronkowski approved this because he wanted to reap the benefits of a porn star’s Twitter following? Yikes.

Let’s just disregard the obvious problems with this (i.e., an athlete representing a professional football franchise is shirtless in a photo with a porn star) and figure out exactly how the two even met. Jones told a radio show that the two met through a mutual friend who played with Gronkowski while he was at the UA. Great. Just what we needed to hear about college athletes.

Amid all the nonsense surrounding the University of Miami Hurricanes’ athletic program (a booster saying he funded sex parities), coupled with the “trophies for tats” scandal at Ohio State University, I personally have been theoretically counting the days until something horrendous comes out about the UA football or basketball programs. While members of our football team being friends with porn stars isn’t exactly boosters paying for abortions (like at Miami), it’s worth an eyebrow raise at the very least and it very well could be the tip of the iceberg.

Perhaps nothing is really going on here and maybe this is one of those “guilty by association” things. Either way you want to look at it, it must be a great time to be a college athlete.

Free education, playing a familiar game you love, taking cake courses (although some athletes do thoroughly dedicate themselves), befriending porn stars and, hey, the NCAA has even talked about increasing athletes’ grants.

Sounds like a sweet life. Factor in the possibility of potentially becoming a professional athlete, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better life as a 20-something-year-old.

MAILBAG Pinkberry brings healthy option In response to “Pinkberry will hurt Tucson business (Oct. 26): I am very happy that there will be a Pinkberry store in Tucson.

However, we are not students. So I am hoping that it isn’t too difficult to go on campus to purchase cartons to take home. I was introduced to this wonderful yogurt in L.A., where my daughter lives. She tries to eat healthy and she was very happy to have discovered this close to her home. When she attended the U of A in 1993, it was very easy to find high fat and high calorie foods on and near campus. In fact, that’s about all there was to choose from. Since she has moved on, things

have drastically changed for the better, offering healthy choices. We should all be happy about that and not try to shut them out. Let’s welcome something new and healthy.

As far as the other restaurants dropping yogurt from their menus, that’s their choice. Someone may want to talk to them to keep what they’ve been serving. Having a little competition for a healthy snack might be progress that we all need. People get set in their ways and we need to stay on our toes if we want to compete. A little competition is good for all! We need to be more business-friendly in Tucson.

I will be waiting anxiously for the announcement that it is open for business.

Light-hearted Karst hits hard I

about it all, because I have to focus on volleyball.”

Daily Wildcat

f you go out on Halloween and see a 6-foot-5 blonde dressed as a strawberry, that’s Courtney Karst. Actually she’s only 6-foot-1, but with her four-inch heels she’s as tall as basketball guard Brendon Lavender.

“I’m going to be a strawberry,” Karst said, “Madi (Kingdon) is going to be a banana, Cursty (Jackson) is going to be a watermelon and Candace (Nicholson) is going to be a pineapple. If you get to know us, we’re really weird.”

Some of Karst’s other self-proclaimed oddities include her obsession with the “Transformers” trilogy and her emotional attachment to Disney movies. To this day, she still cries when Mufasa dies in “The Lion King,” she said.

But catch Karst on the volleyball court and you would never know she harbors a soft spot for Disney movies. She plays with intensity, determination and an insatiable hunger to win.

“I just love the winning,” Karst said. “When I first started playing, I hated volleyball because I was so bad. But I love it because I’m good at it, and it’s kind of a way to get away from the stressors I have in my life — for me it’s that one thing I can go to and forget

The mark of a champion

In Arizona’s loss to No. 2 California last Saturday, Karst struggled at the beginning of the game, but didn’t give up, leaving it all on the court — it was head coach Dave Rubio’s favorite part of the match.

“The only silver lining to me was that Courtney really struggled today, and I really got on her early,” Rubio said after the game on Saturday. “I thought she made a terrific turnaround. I love the fact that she kept grinding, didn’t let herself fall apart and give up. To me, that’s the mark of a champion.”

Rubio first noticed Karst’s talent when she was 16 years old, he said.

“I liked her speed, how quick she was off the ground and loved the arm swing,” Rubio said.

For incentive purposes, Rubio was delighted to hear Karst’s

Cortez Johnson arrived in Tucson as a touted, physical cornerback with a world of potential. Former UA head coach Mike Stoops raved about the 6-foot-2, 190-pound defensive back’s size and speed. The New Orleans, La., native was expected to contribute early in the season with fellow Louisiana product Jonathan McKnight, who is out for the year.

But as is the case with most young corners, Johnson hit a wall when the playbook opened. He was constricted to mostly special teams duties until getting injured against USC and missing the next three weeks.

“Early on he was really shining because we didn’t have a lot of calls,” said secondary coach Ryan Walters. “That’s kind of where the freshmen hit a wall, when the whole package is thrown at them.”

But with starting defensive backs Shaquille Richardson and Jourdon Grandon suspended for Saturday’s game, and backups Lyle Brown and Mark Watley suspended for the first half, Johnson finally gets his chance to live up to the expectations that were placed on him early in the year.

The New Orleans, La., product, who has six total tackles and 0.5 tackles for a loss in five games, will start against Washington in Seattle on Saturday when the Wildcats need him more than ever.

“He’s been a competitor since he’s got here,” said senior safety Robert Golden. “We’re just hoping that he’s going to come out there Saturday and lay Utah kickoff it all on the line for us and just get announced the job done.”

Arizona’s homecoming game According against the Utah Utes will kick off to coaches and at 4 p.m. on Nov. 5.

Walters called him one of the most athletic and physically gifted defensive backs on the entire roster, and UA’s schemes are finally starting to click for Johnson.

“He’s probably as athletic as any corner we’ve got, if not even more athletic,” Walters said. “Just his size and the way he can run, he’s going to have a bright future in

Analysis

Five things to watch against Seattle Pacific Low-key opener tips hand at Sean Miller’s line-ups and holes that must be filled

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

It’s not St. John’s in Madison Square Garden or Florida in Gainesville, but the Wildcats’ exhibition game against Seattle Pacific tonight in McKale Center still holds importance.

“We’ll learn a lot more about our team. It’s a great opportunity to improve,” UA head coach Sean Miller said. “I think learning more about our personnel. There’s a lot of even battles throughout our team, minutes wise. It will continue to give us more information as a staff.”

Arizona’s yet to decide on a starting point guard or center. The Wildcats are counting on four freshmen to contribute immediately. Kyle Fogg is settling into a new role and Jesse Perry put together an impressive summer that should show on the court.

With that said, here are five things to watch during tonight’s game against the Falcons:

1. A point of decision

While freshman point guard Josiah Turner comes in as a five-star recruit, sophomore Jordin Mayes remains a steady option at that position for the Wildcats.

Mayes averaged a solid 4.6 points per game while shooting 45.3 percent from three during his freshman season, and really came on toward the end of the season despite playing through a stress fracture in his foot.

Miller knows what he’ll get with Mayes. He’ll control the tempo and give the Wildcats a shooting threat, but Turner provides intrigue with his pass-first mentality and athleticism. It remains to be seen who will get the start and the bulk of the minutes, but Miller and his staff will tip their hand tonight.

2. Man in the middle

Arizona’s battle at center is extremely similar to its point guard situation. Coaches know what they’ll get with Kyryl Natyazhko: a solid defender and rebounder with a decent outside touch, but without much of a post game or mean streak.

Johnson, on the other hand, brings excitement, athleticism and toughness. Natyazhko has the upper hand due to his junior status, but the competition is neck and neck.

“With them two you never know. It’s a day-

to-day basis,” said junior forward Solomon Hill.

“I don’t think a lot of people expected Kyryl to go out there and play like he did in the Red-Blue Game.”

3. Senior leaders

Fogg is seen as soft-spoken and took a backseat to Momo Jones and Derrick Williams last season. Perry was nothing but the junior college transfer who thrived on tenacity and toughness.

But the two seniors are now being asked to lead the Wildcats. It will be interesting to see how they do in these new roles, and Miller is fully confident that they’ll get the job done.

“Jesse Perry and Kyle Fogg are two players that a lot of coaches would love to have,” Miller said. “They work really hard in trying to win and help the younger players get better.”

4. How ready are Nick Johnson and Angelo Chol to contribute?

Nick Johnson showed what he can do in the Red-Blue Game, but it’s intriguing to find out his role and how he’ll perform in his first collegiate game. Miller called him an every day player, who performs the same on Monday as he does on Friday. He should play as advertised, but how much he’ll play over Fogg and at what positions remains to be seen.

Chol on the other hand, is a bit of a question mark. His skills are there, but if he’s ready for the mental aspect of the game is still a question.

“I think Chol really needs to step up with how he communicates,” Hill said. “He’s really a softspoken guy.”

5. Who’s Arizona’s go-to guy?

The Wildcats most likely won’t be needing a clutch performer against Division II Seattle Pacific, but they still don’t have a clearly defined go-to player. Is it Fogg, who struggles at times creating his own shot? Is it Perry who isn’t the prototypical back-to-the basket post player? Or is it Hill, who remains a bit of a tweener? That should come to light to some degree tonight in McKale Center.

Junior Solomon Hill goes up for a shot against center Kyryl Natyazhko in Arizona’s Red-Blue Game on Saturday.

UA’s exhibition season begins

By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

After two weeks of practicing against his own team, Arizona forward Solomon Hill openly admitted to eavesdropping on the other side’s play calls during scrimmages.

That’s why he’s looking forward to tonight’s 6:30 exhibition against Seattle Pacific at McKale Center — to get a feel for how he does when he, and the other team, doesn’t know what’s coming.

“It’s kind of hard for me to not cheat when they call the play out because I don’t want to be the guy that gets beat on defense,” Hill said.

“Playing against some guys that don’t know our plays, guys we can scout, we can really hone in on what we’re supposed to do.”

Hill and seniors Jesse Perry and Kyle Fogg have firm grips on three of the five starting positions, but battles for the point guard and center positions are just heating up.

Both competitions involve one of Arizona’s highly touted freshmen — Josiah Turner at point guard and Sidiki Johnson at center.

Head coach Sean Miller said that he’s looking forward to seeing how

Finishing strong Volleyball wasn’t always Karst’s primary focus. “I would always bring home these packets that you get in elementary school that had cheerleading and karate on them, and I really wanted to be a cheerleader,� Karst said. “Even though I was the tallest girl in my school, I wanted to be a cheerleader so bad, because I liked their little outfits.�

Karst started playing recreational volleyball in the third grade. The sport didn’t come naturally to her, but it was a sport that welcomed her height. “When I was in rec volleyball, I wasn’t very good,� Karst said. “I first started playing club and I was awful compared to some of the other girls on my team.�

First a middle blocker, Karst progressively improved and worked her way up to a starting position. As she developed on the club circuit, she found her signature positions — opposite and outside.

Karst is now nearing the end of her final season as a Wildcat. She’s a psychology major with a sports management minor who plans to go back to Colorado to coach after graduation. That is, if she doesn’t play overseas in Puerto Rico first, she said. “I’ve really been pleased with how she’s developed, how serious she is and how she approaches the game,� Rubio said. “I couldn’t be happier with how she’s finishing out her career. She’s been having a fantastic year. She’s our best back row attacker, she can play right and she can play left. She’s a terrific blocker and has a great jump topspin serve.�

With her attacking and serving skills, Karst has scored 203 kills this season, and currently leads the team in serving with 16 aces. She has also recorded 66 digs and has led the team in kills in its last three matches. “Her biggest change for me has been her mental and emotional approach to the game,�

Rubio said. “She’s more mature and (her mentality is) significantly better than it had been in the past. She’s always had the talent, but now she plays with such purpose, conviction and intelligence.�

grandparents lived in Tucson. He said didn’t think she would have come here otherwise.

While that was a motivating factor for Karst, she also liked the promise of a new family. “I liked how McKale is one big family,â€? said Karst, who is originally from Colorado. “When I came on my visit, we went to a gymnastics meet ‌ there were a bunch of other athletes supporting each other. It’s nice to have all these other athletes to relate to.â€?

Getting to know Courtney Karst On her height: “I’m comfortable with how tall I am. We all wear four-inch high heels when we go out anyway.�

On her sister, Bailey: “She plays volleyball at Ohio. We couldn’t stand each other before college. We despised one another and would do anything to get one another in trouble — so competitive, but now we’re better.�

On her love for basketball: “I love college basketball. I can’t play basketball to save my life, I’m awful, but I love to watch it. Because you watch the NBA and the only time they’re really into it is the playoffs, but in college basketball, there’s so much heart in every single game. “ On March Madness: “March madness is my favorite time of year to just sit at home and watch basketball. You lose you’re out, you win you’re in.�

On friend Derrick Williams: “He’s chasing his dream. If I had that opportunity, I would have done the same thing — everyone dreams of making it big, doing what they love and making millions for it.�

On her free time: “I hang out with Candace, Cursty and Madi a lot. We go to sushi, movies and shopping together.

Normal girlfriend types of things, it’s fun.�

On Transformers: “I’m obsessed with those movies, back home my friends and I go to the midnight showings and we’ll show up two hours early with blankets and pillows. We’re so weird. We watch the midnight showing, but then go four more times after that.�

his freshmen handle their first game action in college, but knows there will be a learning period for the foursome of newcomers. “Those guys are all trying to improve and they’re all trying to carve out a role in our team,� Miller said. “We all know this is a first time for everything for freshmen.�

Last Saturday’s Red-Blue Game gave the team a chance to get on the court in front of a sold-out McKale Center, giving the newcomers a chance to get used to the environment they’ll be playing in.

Now they’ll be able to focus strictly on what’s happening on the court instead of potentially getting distracted by what’s going on around them. “The team was able to play in front of a packed house, and there’s always value in that,� Miller said. “The more we can get out there and play in front of a crowd, play with officials — that’s going to give them the best chance to be successful early.�

Arizona’s freshmen won’t be the only ones making an adjustment. Fogg has been forced to take more of a vocal leadership role as the Wildcats’ most experienced player, something that Miller said is going to take some getting used to.

this game so I’m looking forward to seeing him play on Saturday. He’s caught up now and he’s ready to go.�

While the tools are there, Johnson — who along with all players, save for team captains, was unavailable to the media this week — has yet to play big-time minutes at the college level.

The excitement of starting his first college game will be evident, but that could be detrimental to Johnson. “My goal is to get him calmed down because I know he’s going to be really amped up come pregame,� Walters said. “That can detract from your technique so I’ve got to harp to him on letting the game come to him, being calm and not trying to press and make plays that he’s not capable of making.�

Sophomore cornerback Derrick Rainey will receive reps as well this weekend. The Wildcats will also suit up former high school cornerback and current receiver Tyler Slavin, and a walk-on receiver, at cornerback in case of an emergency.

But ultimately, the pressure is on Johnson.

He’s expected to be a major cog against an offense that ranks third in the Pac-12 in points

“He’s been around the block, but he’s never been what I would call a vocal leader. Getting used to that role is what he’ll be doing.� ­— Head coach Sean Miller on the leadership role of senior Kyle Fogg

“Last year, although he was a very important piece to our team, I wouldn’t say he was one of our two leaders,� Miller said. “This year he is. He’s been around the block, but he’s never been what I would call a vocal leader. Getting used to that role is what he’ll be doing.�

But regardless of who makes individual improvements or not, sophomore guard Mayes said that Arizona’s exhibition contests are about getting experience when it comes to the type of preparation that’s required for each game. “It starts in practice,� Mayes said. “Film and game planning, then taking what you get from practice and accomplishing it in a game.�

per game, at 34.7, and one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the conference in UW’s Keith Price. If Johnson shines Saturday, it could kickstart what’s expected to be a long and successful career at Arizona. “You’ve been waiting for your opportunity and when you get your opportunity you’ve got to take advantage of it,� senior cornerback Trevin Wade said he told Johnson. “Once Cortez gets it all together and puts all the pieces together, he’s going to be real great. He’s a tall big corner and he can run. If he gets the technique down he’ll be perfect.�

the residence halls on North Highland Avenue.

“Logistically, the hot water, the heat, the electric service for all three of those Highland halls all reside in Villa del Puente,” said Alex Blandeburgo, associate director of Residence Life and director of facilities.

The project is now in the design stages, awaiting construction drawings.

Once approved by Planning, Design and Construction, the installation process will begin, which is expected to be as early as next month.

“The major construction should actually start in November,” Brown said.

“We’re kind of in the final, drawing and approval stages right now, so we’ll be moving to actual on-site construction and assembly here over the next several weeks.”

As for funding, the project will cost the university virtually nothing. According to Blandeburgo, federal and state grants, as well as rebates from Tucson Electric Power, will pay for the project.

Other people on campus who have been involved with UA solar initiatives said they are enthusiastic about the installation of the cogeneration panels.

“I think it’s a really exciting opportunity because then on our campus we’d have buildings with no solar panels, buildings with solar hot water heating, and then you’d have cogen,” said Katherine Weingartner, a senior studying public management and policy with an emphasis in environmental policy. Weingartner also served as the director for Posada San Pedro Solar Powered, an effort to install solar panels in Posada San Pedro

confident in the job as time went on and she gained knowledge of the university and its administration.

“Needless to say, she probably knows more about being president than I do,” said Sander, adding that he couldn’t do the job without her.

With each president, Stapleton has experienced the excitement that builds when famous visitors came to campus or when the UA held important sporting events. And she’s also witnessed the reactions to presidents whose plans anger members of the community.

Protesters overtook the Administration building in the early 2000s in reaction to the UA’s plans to put telescopes on Mount Graham. People camped out and slept on the floor, Stapleton said.

“We were stepping over people in sleeping bags on the way to work,” she said. “They took over the kitchen. I couldn’t get coffee comfortably.”

It’s the positive attitude that Stapleton brings to the office during these stressful times that some presidents valued most.

“As president, there’s an

Residence Hall, earlier this year.

Weingartner has also expressed interest in utilizing cogeneration technology throughout the rest of the campus’ solar initiative projects.

“If the U of A can find outside sources of funding to put towards solar projects, I would think that they’d want to, if possible, make those cogen systems,” Weingartner said.

Student involvement is also a future possibility, though it would not have been logistically viable with this particular project.

“This was a traditional construction project, so it was definitely a task,” Brown said.

“But we’re very enthusiastic about potential relations with the university, so that (student involvement) can materialize.”

According to Blandeburgo, the foreseeable results from the panels’

installation are all positive.

“I don’t see a downside at this point,” he said. “It seems that we are going to be able to, from a design perspective, get the arrays mounted on the roof and the mechanical equipment installed, with minimal impact to the environment and to the aesthetics of the facility and the surrounding grounds. Cogenra seems to be committed to ensuring that that occurs.”

Blandeburgo also said the university is enthusiastic about being the first in the country to use Cogenra’s cogeneration solutions.

“We’re very excited about it,” he added. “It’s really a win-win because it’s an opportunity to evaluate its performance, and if it is something that proves to be effective and efficient … it is a model for other universities to follow.”

He said the rumors that Greek Life has a large influence on the elections should be disregarded because, even if they are true, they should be looking at the amount of people not just Greek Life members ASUA can get to vote.

Kendra Vossler, a senior business analyst at University Information Technology Services, said she has been bringing her family to “Greek or Treat” for the past three years.

awful, unrelenting pressure that never goes away,” said former President Peter Likins, who worked with Stapleton for nine years. “It’s important to have a family at home and an office family where you feel loved and valued. Linda creates that environment.”

Stapleton becomes close with the presidents and stays in contact with them after they leave. She saw Pacheco at a football game last week and bumps into Likins at church.

“I consider all of them good friends,” said Stapleton, whose computer screensaver alternates between pictures of her grandchildren and the presidents she has worked with.

“They’ve been so generous with me and taught me a lot.”

Stapleton, who turns 68 next week, will retire at the end of November. She said she’s looking forward to relaxing, traveling and spending time with her five grandchildren, who range in age from 18 months to 5 years old.

Sander will have a new executive assistant for the rest of his term. But finding someone with the knowledge, experience and spirit of Stapleton will be a challenge, he said.

“She’s just a great human being,” Sander said. “A real lady.”

when the most clubs meet during the week.

The senate voted to schedule Tuesday and Wednesday as voting days for the primary and general elections.

Senate members said elections should not run all three days because it is exhausting for the candidates, and there needs to be adequate time to count the votes by the end of the week. They also said turnout significantly decreases on the third voting day.

ASUA primary elections will be held on Feb. 28 and 29 and general elections will be held on March 6 and 7. that having the event closed off to traffic makes it a secure environment and allows her children to have more fun.

“And we like to support the U of A,” she added. “It (the event) fosters a sense of family.”

For Sandi Wolf, the house director of Alpha Phi sorority, bringing Greek Life together at the carnival was important because of the community’s recent loss of fraternity member, Anthony Andrighetto, who died in a car accident last Wednesday.

“Anything like this that’s uplifting and high-spirited is good for the community,” she said.
