Library remains safe after incident MAX MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat
Despite Wednesday’s threat that led to UAPD officers arresting a man at gunpoint, some students still say that the library is a safe place to study. Timothy Wayne Mulford, the man who police arrested, was wearing “rugged clothes, looked homeless and hadn’t shaven in a long time,” said Joe Boehm, a communication undergraduate who had been in the library at the time of the incident. Mulford, a non-UA affiliate, was staring awkwardly at girls and trying to open doors, Boehm added. Robert Mitchell, the interim associate dean of libraries, was one of several people who approached
Mulford. Mitchell said that because the library is supported by taxpayer money, it’s problematic to filter individuals based on appearance. “There’s no moat around campus or barbed wire around the library,” he added. Staff do patrol the building he said, and while the library and campus are safe, Mitchell said he would leave deciding how to make it more secure “to the experts.” “My own view is that any public campus is going to be at risk of these acts, short of building a large wall around campus,” he added. “I believe the library is a safe place and was a safe place Wednesday to the best it could be.” Imposing a wall may be impractical, but
resources are in place to maintain student’s safety and notify them regarding similar incidents. UAlert is a service controlled by administration and UAPD that warns subscribers via text message or email of emergency occurrences at the UA. A notification was sent regarding the situation in the library after the problem was neutralized. Officers responded within three minutes of getting the call, said Juan Alvarez, a public information officer for UAPD. Alvarez added that the reasoning for the delay was the incident never “spilled out” onto campus, and wasn’t an ongoing issue.

Even with the tweaks made to UAccess over the last several years, the university’s course registration system continues to struggle when it’s time to sign up for classes. The system crashed on Oct. 22 during the registration slot for juniors, and stayed down for about 10 to 15 minutes. “Registration is always terrible, because so many people are trying to get on right at 6 [a.m.],” said Jeff Moeser, an undeclared junior. “It lags out, it’s always just going down, it says it can’t connect and it takes forever to load. You have to get lucky, otherwise all your classes will fill up.” The current version of registration in UAccess has been up since March of 2010, according to Nikolas Glazier Hodge, an assistant director of capabilities delivery for student/academic initiatives with University Information Technology Services, adding that while there have been a number of small upgrades, changes and tweaks to the registration process since then. These changes have included upgrades to the system itself, as well as alterations to UAccess’ interface in order to make the website more user-friendly, according to Glazier Hodge. More specifically, changes have been made to the course catalog and schedule of classes, and further upgrades of those aspects are in development. Updates to the class waitlists are also being worked on. The changes were made in

own 28-13 late in the third quarter, quarterback Matt Scott failed to connect with David Richards on a third and six. The Wildcats were forced to give the ball back to No. 10 USC with 6:11 left in the third quarter and the game in danger of escaping them. At the time USC’s Marqise Lee had a Pac-12 record of 299 receiving yards and the Wildcats had been more or less useless at stopping the Trojan air attack. The defense could have panicked and let the game slip away. It could have folded and let USC humiliate them much in the same way Oregon did a month ago. Instead, the defense decided it was hungry. “[The team has] gotta eat, that’s what it is,” running back Ka’Deem Carey said. “That’s how we got to look at the next games, we gotta eat … We got to fill up the stomachs.” The Wildcats turned one of the most talented teams in the nation into a meal, feasting their way to their signature win of the season. And with the way the schedule now stands, Arizona will continue eating all the way to a bowl game — it’s just a shame a Pac-12 team can’t play in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. “It doesn’t matter what our record is, anything like that, you always gotta eat,” center Addison Bachman said. “Fuel this drive and we’re gonna keep eating till the very end.” Three weeks ago, none of this
