Hart to hold first UA town hall BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

President Ann Weaver Hart will host her first town hall-style meeting on Wednesday to answer questions from staff, faculty and students.

The meeting, which will take place in the Kiva room of the Student Union Memorial Center, will enable community members to seek answers regarding anything from the university’s vision to Hart’s legislative agenda.

In a campuswide memo sent by Hart, she said she would dedicate her time to answering “questions about important issues facing the university.” The town hall will begin at noon

THE FRESHMAN CLASS COUNCIL celebrates their first place win in the ThinkPink fashion show in Gallagher Theater on Monday. Proceeds went to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a foundation for breast cancer research. The show raised a total of $1,461.61 through $5 admissions and the clubs’ $25 participation fees.

ASUA will take to Mall to increase outreach RACHEL McCLUSKEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

In an effort to increase their outreach to the campus community, members of ASUA will be out on the UA Mall Tuesday to talk to student constituents.

Meet your ASUA day runs Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and will serve as an opportunity for students to see the services that the Associated Students of the University of Arizona offers.

Students will have a chance to voice their concerns or offer suggestions.

Eleven booths will be set up on the Mall for students to visit,

and ASUA elected officials will be mingling among the students.

Booths will consist of Safe Ride, Students for Sustainability and the ASUA Senate.

The event comes from an initiative implemented by Sen. Bryan Namba, whose platform suggested a “meet your ASUA day” that would allow students to discover involvement opportunities and to give feedback.

President Katy Murray also referred to outreach and transparency as plans for her presidency.

ASUA Executive Vice President Krystina Nguyen explained that ASUA officials would be actively

approaching students at the event and handing out flyers. Senators will also have their business cards to get the word out on how to contact them.

Last year, ASUA ran a “complain day” on the Mall where students could write their concerns and suggestions on a piece of poster board.

This year, ASUA Sen. Vinson Liu is combining this idea with his own of hosting office hours for the ASUA Senate. At least three senators will be out on the Mall at one time and their office hours will be listed on the ASUA website.

Liu plans to host ASUA Senate

office hours on the Mall in November, too.

“This is something I hope I can establish long term,” Liu said.

“Three hours on the Mall isn’t going to do anything for [the] UofA longterm. This is something that future senators could continue as well as us continuing next semester.”

This year, the Senate hasn’t received any emails regarding any concerns from students.

Namba explained that this might be because students find ASUA officials intimidating or students may not know what the student government does.

“Last year I was on Freshman

Class Council, so I was really lucky to know what student government did,” Namba said. “But if I wasn’t in FCC, I always think, I would not know what ASUA did. I would almost be afraid to outreach to student government leaders.”

Nguyen added that the hours were chosen specifically to hit the most students because the event is right around lunch time and that’s when the most students are likely to walk by the Mall.

“Even if we get 100 people,” Namba said, “that’s still 100 outside voices that we have either telling us what we want to see or getting us moving in the right direction.”

Sandy promises more winds, rain MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

PHILADELPHIA — Having virtually shut down the Philadelphia region Monday with its ferocious arrival, the monstrous hybrid known as Sandy promised yet another day at least of damaging winds and punishing rains.

“It’s going to be a long-duration event,” Rick Knabb, National Hurricane Center director, warned at an afternoon briefing.

Sandy’s impact looks certain to linger through Election Day next Tuesday and beyond.

President Barack Obama canceled a campaign event to return to Washington to oversee what is sure to be a multibillion-dollar recovery effort to undo the damage of a storm that has affected as many as 60 million people from the Carolinas to Maine.

And there is more to come. The National Weather Service warned of “historic and life-threatening coastal flooding” along the New York and Connecticut coasts through 3 p.m. Tuesday.

Amtrak service in the Northeast Corridor will remain suspended Tuesday, as will US Airways flights.

SEPTA rail service will continue to experience disruptions, and the PATCO High-Speed Line won’t be running during the morning.

Philadelphia public and parochial schools will remain closed, as will most suburban schools and all major colleges and universities. City and county court and government offices will also be closed.

Sandy technically made landfall at 8 p.m. Monday at Atlantic City with Category 1 hurricane winds having sustained peaks of 80 mph.

The storm, which has haunted the Northeast for days as it crept northward from the Caribbean, is likely to be one of the costliest to ever hit the East Coast. It could rank with the devastating unnamed hurricane of 1944; Hazel, in 1954; and Floyd, in 1999.

Meteorologists on Monday spoke in awe of what some saw as an “unprecedented” weather system — part hurricane, part wintry storm, all menacing. It came up the coast and made a hard left toward South Jersey’s fragile barrier islands.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event,” said Tom Kines, a meteorologist at Accu-Weather Inc. Its lashing winds and relentless

PEOPLE MAKE THEIR WAY through a flooded street on Long Island’s South Shore on Monday as Hurricane Sandy gains strength.

rain did more than raise floodwaters. Falling trees and boughs brought down power lines, leaving great swaths of region in the dark.

A million power outages were reported as of last night in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, where states of emergency were in effect.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said he was ready to deploy 1,600 National Guard troops if necessary.

The Delaware River Port Authority closed all its bridges indefinitely, and Corbett ordered the closing of the Schuylkill Expressway, the Blue Route, Route 1 and I-95 until 2 a.m. Tuesday.

How impressive was this storm?

Well, by 1 p.m. Monday, with Sandy still hours from landfall, Atlantic City and Ocean City had become lagoons. Floodwaters lapped into Ocean City High School.

By that time, Sandy-incited waves had already smashed an 80-foot section of the Atlantic City Boardwalk into rubble. It was reminiscent of the 1944 storm that sent chunks of the famed promenade floating on floodwaters as high as the tops of parking meters.

Floodwaters attacked Absecon Island on Monday. They were so deep around Atlantic City’s Convention Hall that stranded residents were appealing to firefighters for help.

An 89 mph gust, well past hurricane force, was measured at Surf City, a 69 mph gust at Harvey Cedars, on Long Beach Island. There was a 76 mph gust in Bensalem, Bucks County.

In advance of the storm, the region was pelted with rain. Both Atlantic City and Rehoboth Beach, Del., recorded 8 inches. Final totals could reach double figures in some places before the rains stop, meteorologists said.

Late in the morning, as many as 1,000 Bensalem residents were ordered to evacuate homes along the Neshaminy and Poquessing Creeks and the Delaware River.

Elsewhere in the county, residents of 23 streets near the Neshaminy Creek and several others along the Delaware were evacuated.

Mandatory evacuations were ordered along the flood-prone Darby Creek, which has been choked with tree debris from erosion along its banks.

Police Chief Robert Smythe said officers urged residents on 13th and 14th Streets and the 700 block of Pine Street to leave. Peco crews accompanied police and shut off gas and electricity in the targeted areas, Smythe said.

Flooding may be widespread Tuesday, but the bigger issue may be the lingering effects of tropicalstorm force gales that are all but certain to result in massive power outages that utility officials said could last for days.

Even before those winds got seriously cranking Monday, trees were coming down. One fell on a car on southbound I-295 in Cherry Hill, and in Delaware County, a falling tree whacked a house in Drexel Hill, damaging a room where an infant was sleeping.

The baby was taken to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, said county Emergency Director Ed Truitt.

Three hundred people were at Red Cross shelters in the Philadelphia area as of midday Monday, while Darby had at least 150 staying at a community center.

East Coast tropical-storm threats are not without precedent in October, but no one could recall

one quite like Sandy.

In its ponderous, almost slowmotion trip from the Caribbean, it paralleled the coast and then made a hard left at New Jersey. Typically in October, tropical storms scoot rapidly from southwest to northeast.

“We’re in new territory here,” said Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist who is the National Hurricane Center spokesman.

Monday morning, Sandy crossed the Gulf Stream and got a fresh injection of tropical energy.

“It did pick up a little juice,” said Gary Szatkowski, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly.

It also picked up some speed after it entered the cooler ocean waters to the west, and that accelerated the landfall timetable, allowing Sandy to reach the South Jersey coast just before high tide.

Tides generally have been swollen a foot or so by the full moon, said Knabb.

What explains the peculiar path?

Sandy slammed into a wall of high pressure, or heavier air, over the North Atlantic, Kines said. The high directed it toward a deep area of colder lower pressure over the Eastern United States, and as coconspirators they have generated mayhem that included profoundly heavy snows in the Virginia mountains.

Louis Uccellini, director of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction, said such behavior by a tropical system was unprecedented.

“Sandy is unique in a number of ways,” said Hurricane Center director Knapp. “The rainfall could be measured in feet.”

Szatkowski said it was possible that the hybrid Sandy could end up setting records before it winds down sometime Wednesday.

No hurricane had made landfall in New Jersey since a Category 1 in September 1903.

Irene at first was believed to have been a Category 1 when it grazed the Jersey coast last year.

However, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration investigators determined that it hadn’t quite made the grade.

Sandy didn’t quite qualify because it had lost its tropical characteristics at landfall. But that distinction, meteorologists said, was a mere technicality.

They all agreed that Sandy is about to join the hurricane hall of fame.

How much influence will each presidential candidates’ job creation plan have over your vote?

“That’s not the biggest influence for me. I think there are more important issues at stake than just jobs. There will always be jobs everywhere for any purpose ‌ Yeah, it may be hard in the future to get jobs but I don’t think that’s going to have anything to do much with the candidates and how they influence me, at least.â€? — Lauren Scheller, studio arts junior

“It’s extremely important because it’s going to ensure whether or not when I’m out of school I’m going to have a job or not ‌ It’s one of the biggest questions I looked for in the debates because job creation is going to determine whether or not I have a job waiting for me after I graduate.â€? — Kyle Laursen, physiology junior

“I do have a job lined up at least coming right out of school but ‌ I always want to have options open ... As long as I know people who are actually going to be employed after school, I would say job creation is absolutely a crucial part of my vote.â€? — Gavynn Baldwin, marketing senior

“Our country is like a big business, a big corporation and so in that sense ‌ Romney, who’s like a business man, he understands how wealth is created and he understands that the government doesn’t create jobs. In fact it runs less efficiently than the free market system ‌ All of us need a job when we get out and at this point in time the amount of jobs that are being created are not increasing because of the past four years, and honestly, our country doesn’t have time to wait for another four years.â€? — Justin Martin, business management junior

“It’ll influence me a lot only because in two years I want to have a job and I feel like a lot of people right now are focused on citizen’s rights and issues and it’s a very important thing but I feel like as college students it’ll ‌ affect us more in two years because we’ll actually be able to have jobs.â€? — Clarke Scott, psychology sophomore

Two dead following beating in Texas church MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

FOREST HILL, Texas — A longtime Baptist pastor was fatally beaten inside his Forest Hill church Monday morning, and the suspect later died in the back of a patrol car, according to police and MedStar.

The Rev. Danny Kirk was apparently inside Greater Sweethome Missionary Baptist Church about 11:15 a.m. CDT when a vehicle crashed into the side of the building.

Police Chief Dan Dennis said they believe the attack on the pastor began in the parking lot of the church, and then moved inside the church, eventually ending in the music room.

Falafel..

When officers arrived, they found the man beating Kirk with an electric guitar, Dennis said.

An officer fired his Taser to end the assault, Dennis said. The suspect was placed in the back of a patrol car.

When officers later returned to the car, he wasn’t breathing, said MedStar spokesman Matt Zavadsky.

A janitor was attacked outside the church and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A church secretary was also inside the building but locked herself in a storage closet and was not injured, Dennis said.

Authorities have not released the identities of anyone involved. Church

members identified Kirk as the pastor.

Paramedics were on the scene Monday afternoon treating multiple grief-stricken patients.

Dennis said that police weren’t yet sure of the motive but that robbery hasn’t been ruled out. He said they don’t believe that the suspect was a church member but that he might have had family members who are members of the congregation.

Associate minister Claudie Loftin praised Kirk’s leadership at the church. “He had a hug for everyone,� Loftin said. “If you came in this church, you got a hug, no matter how long the line was. He was a man of honesty and integrity, and he showed it every day.�

2012 ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS

Who says endorsements don’t matter?

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT STAFF

W

Vote yes on Prop 204 You may have see some signs when you’re stopped at a red light, idling on the street corner. Among the numerous signs championing candidates’ names and patriotic catch phrases, there are a few that say “No new taxes, No on 204.”

This is a blatant attempt to mislead voters.

The formal title for Propostion 204 is actually the Arizona Sales Tax Renewal Amendment, and as you can tell from the title, it is far from being a new tax.

The tax was actually instated in 2010 and it is a one-cent sales tax that “will provide dedicated funding linked to performance and accountability for students of all

ages and prevent legislators from cutting K-12 funding. Scholarships will ensure that universities and community colleges remain affordable. Investment in vocational educational education will allow students to graduate ready to work.”

Prop 204 puts education funding in the hands of state voters, rather than leaving it to a Legislature that has played partisan politics too long with dollars that should go to preparing students for their careers.

Maybe you’re the type of person that wants to save all the pennies you get back from a cashier in a jar, or maybe, like Gov. Jan Brewer, you’re worried that so much

S E N AT E

money going to education will make it difficult to balance the budget. Brewer originally supported the initiative, but promised it would be a temporary tax increase.

It would be asinine not to support renewing such a simple and successful tax.

The tax is projected to raise around $300 million for higher education each year, and is vital to filling the holes left by the state Legislature when it cut funding for higher education.

Chances are you have benefitted and will benefit from this tax in your four years at the UA. Vote yes on Prop 204.

ith the elections a week away, the Arizona Daily Wildcat’s editorial board and opinions desk are making endorsements for the 2012 elections. Reporters do not have a say in these endorsements, nor do endorsements have an impact on news coverage by the Daily Wildcat’s reporters.

Most polls will report that newspaper endorsements like these do not matter. At best, they have some sway over the margins.

Newspaper circulation has steadily declined in recent years. It’s evident in professional publications as large as The New York Times and as small as the UA’s own Arizona Daily Wildcat. Even if readers do read endorsements, publications form reputations for leaning liberally or conservatively, and most regular readers will likely expect endorsements to lean the same direction they perceive the paper’s coverage to go.

And for the most part, voters already know who they are voting for or feel that their opinion is just as valid as any newspaper editor’s. After all, in the digital age when information is accessible at the tips of your fingers, why go to the newspaper when you can go directly to the source?

But the answer is surprisingly simple.

Newspapers pare down the information to just the essentials, and translate it in a way that makes it easier for you to understand. The ease of information’s accessibility also means it is easy to become inundated with petty politics, buzz words and sound bites.

The role of the media is to filter out all the extra stuff and leave you with just what matters.

We find the substance and interpret it in the way that’s best for our community. These endorsements are not best guesses or predictions for who will win the election. Instead, they are educated assessments of who will be best for the UA and the state of Arizona.

Congressional seats

Carmona for U.S. Senate With Sen. Jon Kyl retiring this year, Arizona will send a new senator to Washington for the first time in 18 years.

Democrat Richard Carmona, facing Republican candidate Jeff Flake and Libertarian Marc Victor, has proven himself worthy to fill Kyl’s seat by gathering broad support across party lines.

The former independent didn’t even register with his party until November 2011, and he served in the Bush administration as surgeon general. In August, the daughter and granddaughter of former Sen. Barry Goldwater, one of Arizona’s most famous conservatives, endorsed Carmona, praising him for his bipartisanship and support of women’s rights.

Joanne Goldwater also discussed her family’s past with Planned Parenthood (her mother started the Arizona branch in 1936) as she declared women’s rights “the most important issue in this campaign.”

Flake, on the other hand, voted to bar funding of Planned Parenthood and supported legislation that would allow employers to deny contraceptive coverage in health care plans. When so many lawmakers are making national headlines with gaffes about women’s reproductive rights — such as claims that their bodies will prevent pregnancy during rape or the belief that it is God’s will when a rapist impregnates his victim — it’s important to have a candidate who will stand up for women.

Carmona’s wide bipartisan appeal and his strong support for women’s rights is absolutely critical to working in the Legislature. The Daily Wildcat endorses Carmona for Senate.

Paton for CD1

Barber for CD2

There will never be such a thing as the perfect politician. Republican candidate Jonathan Paton opposed the 1-cent sales tax for education, voted for Senate Bill 1070 and blames the federal government for much of the economy’s woes — the same tired rhetoric coming from many of Arizona’s lawmakers.

His opponent, Ann Kirkpatrick, has greater recognition and has already served a term from 2008 to 2010. But during that time, Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate, and still proved to be ineffective at offering longterm solutions to control spending.

In 2009, Paton helped push “Kaity’s Law,” an effort that increased protection for domestic violence victims in dating relationships. In 2010, he led a series of hearings into Arizona’s Child Protective Services after the deaths of three children from Tucson, whose parents had been investigated by CPS. Paton offered his voice to victims whose own voices are too often minimized, and he supports greater transparency in government.

The Arizona Newspapers Association has twice given a Freedom of Information Award to Paton, an advocate of open government records.

Though we don’t agree with all of Paton’s political positions, he has proven himself to be a staunch supporter government transparency. The Daily Wildcat endorses Paton for Congressional District 1.

Ron Barber, a small business owner and loving grandfather of four, served his community for more than three decades as the director and program manger of the Arizona Division of Developmental Disabilities.

Then, in 2007, after being named former Rep. Gabrielle Gifford’s district manager, Barber fought tirelessly to ensure that the voices of Southern Arizonans were heard above Washington’s cacophony of party politics and special interest.

On that fateful day last January, when a lone gunman nearly took the life of former Giffords, Barber and 17 others were critically wounded or killed in the crossfire. Instead of throwing in the towel and hanging his head in defeat, Barber, immeasurably tenacious, defied his detractors and continued to fight on behalf of his fellow Tucsonans.

Barber’s commitment to the people of Arizona’s eighth Congressional district, was, is and will always be unshakable — and he has the scars to prove it.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat endorses Ron Barber for the District 2 House Congressional seat.

Grijalva for CD3 It is essential that voters send intelligent, level-headed candidates to represent them in Congress.

Two years ago, however, right-wing tea party activists took over the House of Representatives.

That election also nearly cost Rep. Raúl Grijalva his seat in Congress, due to his call for a boycott of Arizona following the passage of Senate Bill 1070.

Nevertheless, Grijalva should serve a sixth term in the new Congressional District 3.

Grijalva displays the temperament and practicality toward Southern Arizona issues his challengers lack.

He recognizes that border violence is not just spillover from Mexico, but also the result of the demand for illegal drugs in the U.S. He supports the DREAM Act, a realistic approach to allow youth brought across the border illegally by their parents to enroll in the military or to attend college.

And he knows that cutting the education budget, on state and national levels, is not an efficient way to pull out of the recession.

His Republican opponent, Gabriela Saucedo Mercer, follows traditional tea party rhetoric, calling for smaller government and attacking Grijalva for his boycott comments two years ago.

Those attacks were not enough to force Grijalva out of office then, and they certainly should not now.

Grijalva is the candidate best suited to represent Congressional District 3.

Presidential election: We endorse Obama While it goes without saying, the presidential election affects everyone in the country. As the commander in chief, the head of executive branch and a major driving force behind national policy and legislature, either President Barack Obama or former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is going to have a lot to do. Before that, though, America has a lot to consider when deciding who to vote for.

First, full disclosure: it seems like no one is thrilled with either candidate. The United States’ problems seem so insurmountable

that it’d take a superhero to set things right in just one term. But with no superheroes on the ballot, the United States will have to settle with a much longer wait and candidates who can’t possibly satisfy the public demands.

Obama knows what he’s doing in the sense that he has been president for the last four years. That’s not a guarantee he’s been doing a good job, but at least he knows what to expect. At the same time, the public knows what to expect with Obama to a degree.

People also seem really concerned with his

economic beliefs, but it’s been exaggerated and sensationalized. Republicans are posturing like Obama’s reelection would herald in the end times. Despite what anyone says, he also has social policies that allow people to choose for themselves (concerning abortion and gay marriage). When it comes to foreign policy, Obama has a good track record too — aside from, perhaps, Libya.

Romney is a relative unknown. His past as a governor is there to look at, but being president isn’t even remotely the same.

He still hasn’t put out a detailed tax plan,

instead relying on vagueness to assure voters.

Romney has kept quiet on social issues, not wanting to lose minority voters, though he claims not to be an enemy of the poor and middle class.

When it comes to foreign policy, Romney seems to just want to increase the size of the military, but his frequent gaffes warrant a bit of trepidation. If he can’t keep from looking stupid to his own countrymen, how will he fare against foreigners?

The Daily Wildcat will take what it knows and endorse Barack Obama.

Police Beat MAX MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Nonexistent sex offenders brought to UAPD’s attention

The University of Arizona Police Department received two unmarked envelopes containing printouts of area sex offenders at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 25.

The envelopes, addressed to “Campus Police U of A”, contained no return address and enclosed identical printouts of a local sex offender. Written on the bottom of each printout, below a picture of the registrant read, “Working in dorms when students are there. Is this allowed?”

The officer who found the envelopes, unsure of what to do with the information, called a UA office to determine whether or not the individual was an employee. The office informed the officer that the individual was not an employee.

The officer then verified with Residence Life and UA human resources that the person was not an employee. Since there were no return addresses provided on the envelopes, the officer was unable to contact the sender and learn whether or not the sex offender works for a third-party contractor or vendor.

Hide the stank dank

A UAPD officer responded to the Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall in reference to a smell of marijuana coming from a room at 9:20 p.m. on Oct. 25.

The resident assistant who reported the incident led officers, when they arrived, to a room where she’d detected the smell.

The officer knocked on the door, and was greeted by a man saying it was his room, and was able to identify himself with a Massachusetts driver’s license. While his roommate wasn’t present, three other men were.

When the officer asked if he could enter the room, the man let the officer in. The officer asked the occupant of the room if he too could smell the odor, and the student paused, looked down and then informed the officer he did have a small amount of marijuana in his room. The subject then turned around and grabbed a small bag of fresh marijuana, which weighed 2.7 grams.

The other three men in the room were then questioned about paraphernalia and possession of marijuana. One of the individuals provided the officer with a small black plastic pipe, which he said was for tobacco use. However, when an officer noted the bowl of the pipe smelled of marijuana, the subject admitted its use for smoking the illegal substance.

The tenant of the room was cited and released for possession of marijuana, while the individual with the pipe was cited and released for drug paraphernalia.

Stressed Rec center breaks window

A UAPD officer met with the Campus Recreation Center’s facilities maintenance supervisor regarding a broken window at the Rec Center at 7:55 a.m. on Oct. 25.

Between the hours of 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. the night before, a student was on the second floor jumping rope when one of the 3 feet by 5 feet glass panels shattered. The window, which faces the volleyball courts, did not fall out of its frame. The area surrounding the window was then taped up and blocked off for safety precautions.

The supervisor stated that a similar incident with a separate window had occured recently as well due to stress from the building, and that the same cause may have led to this recent window. According to the report, the event does not look to be the result of criminal damage.

ISRAELI SWIMMER LEADS ARIZONA Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or unconcerned with cultural differences, just wants to swim

There, Bar-Or and Qupty became roommates, teammates and best friends.

“We lived together for two years in Florida,” Qupty said. “It was pretty awesome. We won state together for Bolles our junior year. I learned a lot from swimming beside him. His goals are always set really high and he always believes in himself.”

After their time together at Bolles, Bar-Or came to Arizona, while Qupty went on to swim for the University of Missouri.

“Nimrod was a very good high school swimmer,” Bolles head coach Sergio Lopez Miro said. “His biggest strength is that he doesn’t like to lose, and he never gives up. He is a competitor who will work his hardest to be the best.”

In 2011, Bar-Or returned to Israel for a year to participate in his military service, a requirement for all Israeli citizens, and train for the 2012 Olympics. Bar-Or represented Israel again in London last summer and looks forward to training for his last season as a Wildcat, and beyond that, the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. “He is never going to cut corners,” Miro said. “I definitely think he could be one of the top ten swimmers in the world. ”

imrod Shapira Bar-Or stood perfectly still, phone against his ear, in anticipation, as he awaited the decision.

It was August 2008, just one week from the Olympic Opening Ceremonies in Beijing, when the High Court of the Olympic Committee of Israel decided to accept Bar-Or’s national record time of 1:48.76 in the 200m-freestyle.

As a result, Bar-Or was set to replace Max Jaben, an American Israeli who was selected as one of the three swimmers to represent the Jewish state. Jaben had been disqualified from competition after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.

Bar-Or now finally felt the eyes of his country looking up to him.

At the age of 19, he was about to represent all of Israel in international competition.

“He’s capable of doing something really special,” Arizona head swimming coach Eric Hansen said.

“He is a talented swimmer with such great versatility. What he is going to contribute to the team is going to be unfathomable. We’re excited to have him, and feel like we can put him anywhere in order to have him be effective.”

Originally, Bar-Or loved to play basketball, but after being sidelined when he was 11 years old with a knee injury, his sights quickly turned to swimming.

“I’ve been swimming since the age of 11,” Bar-Or explained. “It really helped me strengthen up and recover from my injuries. I fell in love with the sport and have kept going ever since.”

Before boarding the plane to China, Bar-Or’s childhood teammate and high school roommate, Jowan

UA SWIMMER Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or was the first Israeli to compete in an Olympic semi-final during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, finishing in 15th in the 200m freestyle.

Qupty, heard the news of his friend’s upcoming Olympic debut.

“I was just really happy for him,” Qupty said. “If he puts his mind to it, he is able to accomplish whatever he wants. I really believe that he is capable of great things and will continue to preform well in the foreseeable future.”

Bar-Or and Qupty both grew up in Jerusalem, and despite living in

a country that regularly reminded them of their cultural differences, Bar-Or, a Jewish Israeli, was not afraid to befriend Qupty, an Arab Israeli.

“I met Nimrod when I was 13,” Qupty said. “If anything, our cultural differences brought us closer together. We never talked about politics. We both just wanted peace.

I have a lot of Jewish friends and a

lot of Palestinian friends. We all just want to coexist with each other, and it really is possible.”

The two swam and trained together under the Jerusalem United swim club in Israel before taking separate paths for a couple years.

Bar-Or moved to England in order to train more seriously and the two reunited while attending Bolles High School in Jacksonville, Fla.

Seat reduction won’t solve ZonaZoo problems James Kelley Arizona Daily Wildcat

larry hogan/arizona Daily Wildcat

THE ZONA ZOO, Arizona’s student section, has developed a reputation for leaving football games by halftime, much to the chagrin of head coach Rich Rodriguez and athletic director Greg Byrne.

rizona football is riding high now that first-year coach Rich Rodriguez has made the Wildcats relevant again.

So naturally, Arizona Stadium and its most raucous section would be packed, right? Well, no.

Enough people are leaving early that the UA has been displaying embarrassing “please stay the whole game” videos, starring the likes of Rodriguez and athletic director Greg Byrne.

A popular Arizona message board seems to have a “ZonaZoo sucks” thread every week. Their most frequent suggestion is to reduce the size of the student section.

The problem is there is no one to fill it. Attendance for the USC game, even with a Trojan fan inflation, was 47,822, which is less than the Toledo game.

Only 44,153 showed up for the

Oregon State game, not much more than the 43,919 that came for the South Carolina State game.

UA fans as a whole are apathetic about football this year.

Supposedly the 7:30 p.m. starts were too late, and apparently an afternoon game is too early. Every year it’s too hot or too cold, too early or too late.

If the UA took some sections away from the ZonaZoo, who would fill them? The south end zone usually has a lot of empty seats and at this rate, the new north end zone will struggle to look presentable.

The ZonaZoo, though just 10 years old, has a much better track record than the rest of the stadium.

football notes

Scott doesn’t think that he had a concussion, UA preps for UCLA CAMERON MOON Arizona Daily Wildcat

Toward the end of Saturday’s upset over No. 17 USC, Arizona quarterback Matt Scott ran a lead-option play, charged ahead for a gain of about six yards and slid to the turf to protect himself.

In the process, Scott was hit twice in the head while sliding, and appeared to have suffered a concussion, as he was seen vomiting on the field two plays before throwing his final touchdown pass of the day.

Two days after the game, Scott said he feels fine, and Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said that he did not notice anything abnormal about Scott’s demeanor in Sunday evening’s practice.

“I’m not going to talk in medical terms,” Rodriguez said. “The trainers were concerned that he appeared nauseous.

He appeared fine to me yesterday in walk-through.”

Scott added that he had been feeling nauseated a few plays prior to taking the

hit, and that he vomited because he felt “winded.”

“I really don’t think I got a concussion, honestly,” Scott said. “I felt something coming up a few plays before and I was trying to keep it down.

“All summer, when we were working with strength coaches, I was throwing up every time we ran. I don’t think there’s any concern. I’ve played this game for awhile. You’re going to take hits, that’s part of the game.”

After throwing his final pass to David Richards that extended the lead to 10 points, Scott did not return to the game.

Backup quarterback B.J. Denker entered the game for Scott, but did not attempt a pass.

like their own in Oregon and Oklahoma State, but this weekend is the first time that the Arizona defense will be tested by a scheme succinctly called “multiple” by Bruins coach Jim Mora.

UCLA redshirt freshman quarterback Brett Hundley has played well for the Bruins, leading them to a 6-2 start in Mora’s first season.

“I remember him coming out of high school,” Rodriguez said. “He’s from Arizona [Chandler], so people know who he is. I always thought, ‘this is a guy who’s going to have great success no matter where he goes.”

The Bruins’ offense is dependent on their run game and senior running back Johnathan Franklin. In two losses, Franklin has rushed for only 147 of his 1,042 yards, but Rodriguez said that the run game is not the only thing that UCLA does well.

“They spread you out, if you have The No. 22 Wildcats (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12) weaknesses they’ll try to expose them,” have faced pro-style offenses in Oregon Rodriguez said. “We have to maintain as State and USC, spread-option offenses

Pac-12 roundup: Arizona jumps No.18 USC team KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

larry hogan/arizona Daily Wildcat

USC RECEIVER Marqise Lee set a Pac-12 record with 345 receiving yards on 16 receptions. USC will take on Oregon on Saturday in Los Angeles.

The top four teams in the Pac-12 South squared off Saturday — USC at Arizona and UCLA at ASU — and the results of the inter-division battles were inconclusive.

Both games were decided by a field goal or less, and now three teams sit at the top of the division standings with two losses. The Wildcats (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12) trail by a game-and-a-half but have the easiest stretch of games remaining.

At the season’s start, No. 18 USC seemed destined to run away with the South title. The Trojans were a trendy national title pick and had the Heisman frontrunner in Matt Barkley.

Even with an unimpressive start to the season, USC was still in great shape to run away with the division.

Instead, the Trojans came across

the buzz saw known as the Arizona offense. Now the entire Pac-12 south standings are in question.

That’s why, with all four teams playing ranked opponents this weekend, Saturday will come to be known as Separation Day, at least in my book.

Sure, USC still has the superior talent and a half-game division lead with a 4-2 conference record, but they also have a date with No. 2 Oregon.

Unless Barkley and the Trojans run past the Ducks this Saturday, something that’s not very easy to do, they’ll be sitting at 4-3 in the conference and will be losing the tiebreaker to No. 24 Arizona.

The Battle at the Collesium between the Pac-12’s two most notable programs has caused fans and sports writers to salivate all season long, and rightly so. If Oregon wins, it’s in the

basketball notes

Wildcats women’s basketball dealing with mass exodous LUKE DAVIS Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s basketball team participated in its annual Media Day on Monday, with head coach Niya Butts addressing comments and concerns while previewing the upcoming season. Here’s a look at what was discussed at Monday’s press conference.

Nine new Wildcats

The Wildcats lost five players from last season’s roster — three from transfers and two to graduation — forcing Butts to find players who could transfer to Arizona and fill the rotation as well as some of the holes, especially in the frontcourt.

Aley Rohde, the 6-foot-5 starting center, one of Butts’ prominent recruits last season, left for UNLC. Butts, however, still isn’t concerned with the big roster turnover.

“We have a lot of talent on the team right now,” Butts said. “Alli Gloyd has really stood out to me. Not only is

she a good talent and a great athlete but she’s a great person. Very coachable.”

Gloyd is a junior transfer from Mesa Community College, where a decorated career led her to be named Arizona Junior College Player of the Year. Last season Gloyd averaged 15 points and 8.8 rebounds a game for the Thunderbirds and she will look to fill Rohde’s role.

Along with Gloyd, junior point guard transfer Carissa Crutchfield has impressed Butts after transferring from Oklahoma State, and is likely to start as point guard.

Finishing strong

The Wildcats started last season 11-1, including a notable wins against Syracuse in the Hukilau Invitational. However, once the Pac-12 slate began the Wildcats finished the season with a less than impressive record of 3-15.

Butts wants to see consistency from her players,

Q What substances increase intoxication?

A. improvisational substances brings risk to the mix, totally blowing your groove, and will make you play outside your intended riff.

From a Jazz perspective, the fusion and polytonality of additional

Gaze upon the following list and keep the Be in your Bop, hep-cats and kittens: Antidepressants and antipsychotics - Alcohol intensifies the sedative effect of antidepressants. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors are particularly dangerous since one standard drink can cause a dangerous rise in blood pressure.

Antihistamines - OTC drugs like Benadryl used to treat allergy symptoms may boost sedation when combined with alcohol.

Anti-ulcer medications - Tagamet and Zantac increase intoxication.

Narcotic pain relievers - The synergistic effect of combining a narcotic, such as Morphine, Codeine, Darvon, Oxycodone, and Demerol, with alcohol intensifies the CNS depressive qualities of both substances, increasing the risk of death from overdose.

Nonnarcotic pain relievers - Aspirin heightens the intoxicating effects of alcohol. Tylenol (acetaminophen) can cause liver damage, even when used in standard therapeutic amounts. The combination of Tylenol and alcohol is responsible for almost 40% of all acute liver failure in the US. Anti-anxiety meds, sedatives and hypnotics (“sleeping pills”) - The tranquilizing nature of Valium, Ativan, Xanax, and other benzodiazepines may be amplified when combined with alcohol, and may result in dizziness, poor muscle control, forgetfulness, diminished normal breathing, coma, and heart failure.

Birth control pills - BCPs and other medications containing estrogen also slow the rate at which women process alcohol, resulting in a higher BAC. This is only a partial list, hipsters, and other substances, certain illnesses, emotional states, and the timing of the menstrual cycle will also increase alcohol’s intoxicating effects. It is important to consult a doctor or pharmacist to assess your risk when combining alcohol with other meds or substances.

Outro: Don’t color or diminish your groove with unnecessary syncopation. If you want to chart a more enjoyable alcohol experience, follow this quote from jazz genius, Miles Davis: “Less is more.”

Can you dig it? Oh, yeah!

a 6-6 season and hadn’t been to a bowl game since 1998, the ZonaZoo section was so intense there were fights, and hundreds were turned away, while one student was tased.

The anti-ZonaZoo crowd argues that sections 1-10 are prime real estate and that they are very visible. That’s the exact reason why you want your loudest, zaniest, most photogenic fans there.

Even with the section 60 percent full, it is louder than the general public on key third downs. The rest of the stadium seems pretty out of it.

I sit with my parents on the comfy west side. During the Washington game, one middleaged woman left to get food on four separate occasions. At the end of the USC game, one nonUSC fan screamed at B.J. Denker to snap the ball with 20 seconds left on the play clock.

Frankly, the rest of the stadium was pretty dead for both the USC and Oklahoma State games. In past big games, the general public pretty much stood the entire game and was much louder.

Finally, non-students would not be able to handle the Zoo and its location. Many nonstudents left in the second half despite, being in shade for half the game. They wouldn’t last four hours in the sun, much less six or seven.

Yes, students leaving early is a problem, but cutting the section doesn’t really make any sense.

driver’s seat for the national championship — and if USC wins, it’s the South favorites once again.

But don’t be mistaken, it’s not the only marquee matchup happening in Los Angeles on Saturday.

No. 25 UCLA hosts the Wildcats in what will be a deciding factor for how the division will play out.

A victory by the Bruins would put them at 4-2 in conference, but they have USC coming to the Rose Bowl two weeks later. A victory for the Wildcats would mean so much more.

Three weeks ago it was laughable to think Arizona would still be in the hunt for the Pac-12 title game — it’s hard to be a serious contender with a 0-3 conference record.

But if Arizona beat the Bruins, and especially if USC also loses, the Wildcats will control their own destiny.

If the Wildcats do manage to beat a good UCLA team on the road and finish their murderer’s row of a schedule with a 3-3 record, they really should be the favorite to win the division.

Including Saturday’s game, the UA’s FCS opponents have a 49-14 record and six of the eight teams have been ranked at some point this season.

The two non-ranked games include an overtime win against Toledo (8-1) and a 52-17 shellacking of a previously ranked Washington team.

Compare that to the 9-15 record of Arizona’s final three opponents — Colorado, Utah and ASU — and the Wildcats would be sitting in a good

especially health-wise, in order for the team to finish strong.

“In order for us to win and win constantly we need to stay healthy,” Butts said. “We have the talent on this team and we have the depth, but if we are faced with the same challenges it’s going to be tough.”

Throughout the press conference Butts stressed the importance of staying healthy. This has proved an issue in the recent past, with starting guard Candice Warthen and forward Erica Barnes missing stretches of games last season.

Barnes is still recovering from an ankle injury

Flowers continues to adjust to linebacker spot

UA junior linebacker Marquis Flowers had possibly the best game of his career against USC Saturday, recording two interceptions, a forced fumble and was

position if they can get past the Bruins. That’s a pretty big if, though.

The other team in this four-horse race is the constantly overlooked Sun Devils.

The path for ASU looks dicey at best. They first have a huge game this weekend at No. 13 Oregon St. and still have USC and Arizona on the slate.

At worst, ASU can play spoiler to either the Trojans or the Wildcats down the stretch.

and is not 100 percent, according to Butts.

Nevertheless Barnes is on schedule to make a full recovery and will be ready by the start of the season.

Davellyn Whyte, Arizona’s leading scorer last season, is entering her fourth and final year as a Wildcat. Whyte believes that this is the strongest Arizona team she has been part of.

“We’ve been working out with the newcomers since June,” Whyte said. “When the new kids came they did really have choice to slack off or take their time to get into the swing of things.

They just got thrown in and went with the flow.

They’re doing really good though.”

Changing the losing culture

California

Washington State Colorado

In 2010-2011 the Wildcats had their most successful season under Butts, just missing out on the NCAA tournament and losing in the first round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament to Utah State.

Butts feels the pressure to win now in order to reinforce that the program is on the upswing, but the pressure isn’t forcing her to change the way she approaches the season.

“When you look back at last season we started off so well, but when we lost some of the key post players it really hurt us,” Butts said. “Now, coming into this season, our goal as a team is nothing short of the field of 64. We want to get there. Not only our coaching staff but our players are hungry to get there.”

named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. There remains work to be done, though, according to Rodriguez.

“He’s taken to it pretty well, at least from a ‘buy-in’ team standpoint,” Rodriguez said.

“He’s getting better each week, but he’s still learning the position. He wasn’t there in spring practice or fall camp. He’s excited because he thinks he can be really good at the position. ” Flowers leads Arizona in sacks with 3.5 and is second on the team in both tackles and tackles for loss, recording 55 and 7.5, respectively.
