UA Greek Life holds vigil commemorating fraternity member, ending Drug Week By Eliza Molk

bout 500 UA community members came together to honor Wilson Forrester, a UA student who died last semester of an accidental drug overdose, at a candlelight vigil on Friday. The vigil, held behind the Old Main Fountain from 6 to 8 p.m., was the final event in Greek Life’s first annual Drug Awareness Week. Forrester was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and hundreds of his fraternity brothers attended to show their support. Forrester’s father, Chip, was the keynote speaker. He said UA community members need to take action if they know of a student in trouble. “To be unmentored is to fail each and every one of you,” Chip Forrester said. “This is where this university and this fraternity failed my son.” Chip Forrester said UA students and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity members knew that his son, who he said was nicknamed “blackout Willy,” had “struggles” and did not notify his parents about them as they should have. “Where is the help this fraternity is supposed to provide, and why were we not told of this? Where were the adults who were supposed to be the keepers of these fine young men?” Chip Forrester asked. He also said the university did not provide enough resources to deal with drugs and alcohol abuse to the fraternity, and that he had called on both former UA President Robert Shelton and current President Eugene Sander to address this issue but has “heard nothing to date.” “I stand here tonight in hope that something will change,” Chip Forrester added. “The system is deeply flawed.” A moment of silence was held in honor of Wilson Forrester, and vigil attendees were given the opportunity to speak about their memories of him and the consequences of his passing.

UA students gather at the Old Main Fountain for a candlelight vigil to honor Phi Gamma Delta member Wilson Forrester on Friday. Forrester died last spring from an accidental overdose.

“As a community, we are headed in the right Brett Norris, a pre-business student and a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, said direction so a tragedy like this won’t happen people need to be educated about the cause of again,” he said. Norris also spoke about Wilson Forrester’s Wilson Forrester’s death, and that community members should learn from the “tragic event.” character, and that he will never be forgotten.

“Wilson always found a way to take the good out of the bad,” Norris said. “Words can’t begin to explain the type of man you were.” One of the main goals of Drug Awareness Week was to raise money for the Wilson Forrester Scholarship Fund. Greek Life sold bracelets in his honor for $4 and raised a total of $2,478 from Monday to Thursday, according to Jessica Hermann, president of the Panhellenic Council. “This week was a huge success, and it set the basis for years to come,” she said. “It nothing else, this week was the help people.”

Swipe charge cap may spur new fees Banks to place new levies on customers to offset revenue loss By Kyle Mittan DAIly WIlDcAT

New laws may result in some banks charging consumers for debit card use. A statement released on Monday by the Tucson Southern Arizona Better Business Bureau explained Congress’ new rules governing “swipe fees” — the fees that banks charge retail stores every time a debit card is swiped to make a purchase. Previously, the average fee that most banks charged was around 44 cents per debit card swipe. The law has capped the fee at 21 cents, and banks are making up for that loss by charging the consumer. According to the Better Business Bureau, banks have predicted a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars per year from the fee cap, and some major banks have announced a flat monthly fee for debit card purchases between $3

and $5. A per-transaction fee is also expected sometime in the future to accommodate infrequent debit card users. As of press time, representatives from Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Bank of the West and Chase could not be reached for comment about imposing fees. Bureau spokesman Nick LaFleur advised consumers to keep an eye on bank statements for debit card charges, and, if they’re unhappy, to do their own research about how to avoid the fees. “Make sure that you’re on the lookout for alerts from your bank to any changes that might be made,” LaFleur said. “But if you’re unhappy with what they’re doing, you might want to just shop around.” The fee-cap law only applies to banks with $10 billion or more in assets, allowing smaller credit unions like Tucson Federal Credit Union and Vantage West Credit Union to avoid the cap. Vantage West Credit Union’s asset size of $1.1 billion falls under the cap, said Robert Ramirez, president and CEO of Vantage West Credit Union. “Vantage West Credit Union will continue to offer affordable and free checking options … and no fee to use our debit card.” Students on campus have also expressed opposition to the new charges, some saying that they can’t afford to have even a few dollars a month taken from their accounts just to use their card. “That (extra charge) would make me feel awful,” said Gabby Bruggeman, a veterinary science freshman. “I don’t use my credit card that much and I don’t have that much in my account, so it would greatly diminish it.” Other students said they would probably have to quit using debit cards altogether. “I’d be pretty pissed off,” said Jordan Ollanik, a civil engineering sophomore. “I’d probably have to not use a debit card and just switch to cash, or I would definitely switch to a company that

He started cycling his junior year and competed in El Tour de Tucson for his first cycling event. After graduating in May, Mauser said he knew he wanted to travel, but didn’t have the money to do so internationally.

UN says Afghan violence falling McclATcHy TRIBUNE

KABUL, Afghanistan — Insurgent attacks in Afghanistan from July through September fell by 26 percent from the previous summer, a senior NATO official said Saturday, reasserting the U.S.-led coalition’s claims that violence is decreasing a decade into the Afghan war. For five straight months ending in September, the number of attacks by insurgents targeting the Afghan government and coalition forces declined from the previous year, the first time that’s happened since at least 2008, said the official, who briefed reporters on condition of being granted anonymity. However, overall attacks remained markedly higher than in 2009, before the U.S. troop surge. “What you’re seeing is the effect of two hard years of fighting,” the official said, referring to the deployment of 30,000 additional U.S. soldiers — primarily in the Taliban’s traditional southern heartland — whose presence alongside a growing number of Afghan forces disrupted insurgent networks, hideouts and weapons caches. “We started to set the conditions, we started to put the pressure and now we’re seeing this decrease. So I think this is pretty dramatic.” The official acknowledged that overall violence nationwide remains high, but the statistics by the International Security Assistance Force, or ISAF, served as something of a rebuttal to a United Nations report released last month that found that the average number of “security incidents” per month had risen by 39 percent over the previous year. The U.N. report also found that civilian casualties had risen 5 percent in June, July and August from the same months last year, after a 15 percent hike for the first six months of the year. The U.N. data includes some categories of attacks that coalition forces don’t count. Asked to explain the discrepancy with U.N. figures, the NATO official said, “I don’t know how they collect their data. I don’t compare mine to theirs.” While the coalition’s optimism was certain to be greeted skeptically by war-weary Afghans, NATO said the decline in “enemy-initiated attacks” — including direct and indirect fire, roadside bombs and mine explosions — was mainly the result of U.S.-led forces stepping up operations in southern Afghanistan beginning in the spring of 2010, breaking through belts of roadside bombs laid by insurgents.

Wall Street protests go global European, Asian countries combat unrest as ralliers decry greed, inequality McclATcHy TRIBUNE

Hundreds of thousands gathered in cities across the world in protests against corporate greed and income equality, sparked by the month-old Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in New York City. While masked anarchists created chaos in the center of Rome, setting fire to cars and even a police vehicle on Saturday, protests were peaceful elsewhere — in Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Tokyo, Manila, Zurich, Lisbon, London, Frankfurt and Berlin. The Rome demonstration alone drew an estimated 100,000, with Occupy Wall Street supporters trying to isolate the anarchists, who pushed into a protected archeological site. At least 70 people, including 30 police officers, were injured, according to an La7 broadcaster. Coming in the wake of the Arab Spring protests across the Muslim world, unrest has been brewing for months in places like Greece and Spain over austerity measures and unemployment. On Saturday, Occupy Wall Street said it had expected a global turnout in 950 cities in 82 countries — a hallmark of coordination and rising anger against growing disparities in income across the world. In Spain alone, hundreds of thousands

turned out not just in Madrid but in Bilbao, Valencia, Mieres and Vallalodid — 80 cities in all. Tens of thousands converged on Madrid’s Puerta del Sol square, where the protest movement known as 15-M (May 15) was initially launched months ago. In Austria, more than 1,000 marched through Vienna’s busiest shopping street, with smaller protests around the country. From Zurich to Santiago, Chile, many wore Guy Fawkes masks. “People not Profit” read a poster in Frankfurt, where 5,000 protesters gathered at the European Central Bank — an important lynchpin in Europe’s growing debt crisis. In Berlin, 5,000 people marched on the office of Chancellor Angela Merkel, police estimates said. Anti-globalization groupt Attac claimed it had mustered 40,000 demonstrators. In London, protesters — including WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange — took part in “Occupy London Stock Exchange (LSX),” a collective that had more than 15,000 fans on Facebook and some 5,000 confirmed attendees. In a common worldwide theme, protesters insisted they represented the “99 percent” — a reference to Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz’s study that showed the upper 1 percent of Americans now take in nearly 25 percent of the nation’s income every year. “In terms of wealth rather than income, the top 1 percent control 40 percent,” Stiglitz wrote in Vanity Fair magazine in May. “Twenty-five

years ago, the corresponding figures were 12 percent and 33 percent.” New York demonstrators, joined by labor unions, turned their anger on JPMorgan Chase&Co Saturday and urged a boycott, representative of anger at banks that accepted tens of billions of dollars in government bailout money in 2008. The banks have not only fired tens of thousands of workers to boost surging profits but also continued sitting on billions of dollars in assets while restricting the business loans needed to create new jobs. “They got bailed out, we got sold out,” the crowd chanted. By late afternoon in New York, protesters jammed Times Square to a standstill, pushing in waves against the massive tourist presence that inhabits the square around the clock. “This is what democracy looks like,” the protesters chanted. “We are the 99 percent.” Tourists responded in kind, applauding. In Washington, about 1,000 demonstrators demanded that Congress pass President Barack Obama’s jobs-stimulus bill. The Rev. Al Sharpton, the U.S. civil rights leader who helped organize the march, declared that if Congress doesn’t solve the crisis “in the suite,” then protesters would solve it “in the street.” The group that grabbed broadcast headlines through Saturday, however, was the masked anarchist “black block” protesters in Rome, who set fire to cars on the central Via Cavour, causing gasoline tank explosions.

A burst pipe in the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage rushes with water on Feb. 3. Record-low temperatures across the city caused pipe problems, natural gas shortages and disrupted water service that morning.

Preventative measures aim to keep pipes from bursting After winter’s problems, UA implements measures to avoid a recurrence By Amer Taleb DAIly WIlDcAT

The subzero temperatures that froze and busted building pipes across campus in early February caused more than half a million dollars in damage and took months to repair. Preventative measures will be fully in place by the end of the year to try and stop a second occurrence. Damaged pipes created gas line pressure issues, disrupted water flow to buildings and caused indoor flooding, said Chris Kopach, assistant vice president of Facilities Management. Kopach said approximately 20 buildings across campus, including the College of Medicine, Henry Koffler building and the Learning Services building, were

“We have a monsoon preparedness plan that we review every June. This deep freeze woke us up and made us realize we also have to prepare for the winter as well,” Kopach added. The UA’s landscape also took a hit and some of it is probably beyond repair, Kopach said. Between 100 and 120 trees, some as old as 70, were damaged. Many of them were priceless, Kopach said. “As we work with the insurance company, how do we price a tree whose seeds a professor brought back seven years ago from Africa for an experiment?” he said. There’s 11 million square feet on campus and more than 350 buildings, which makes preventing every potential problem impossible, Kopach said. “But we can work with the information we’ve gathered in the past,” Kopach said. “We can put the best measures in place to minimize damage and that’s our goal.”

affected by freezing pipes. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I never had a day like that,” Kopach said. About 120 Facilities Management staff worked to clean up spills, repair lines and open ceilings to access the pipes. Kopach said all the buildings were kept functional and no classes were canceled. “Unless it was your building, you didn’t know there was a problem until you read about it in the paper,” Kopach said. Pipes that supply water to buildings and to the sprinkler system will receive an insulated sleeve around mid-December that will prevent them from freezing. Some fan coils, which are for the air conditioning system, already have heaters that prevent water from freezing in the coil. The rest will have them around mid-December. Preventative measures will cost more than $100,000 and buildings are being surveyed to see if they need them, Kopach said.

He added that, with all the banks charging the fees, “You have to bite the bullet for one of them.” Alexa Pearson, a music education freshman, said she

could understand a monthly fee, but not a per-transaction charge. “I’d be OK with a minimum monthly fee up to $10,” Pearson said. “But for a constant fee every time I swipe, I think that’s unrealistic and unreasonable, and I would definitely look into different credit unions or banks.” Others say banks are just trying to do what they can to run their businesses. “Banks are for-profit companies, so they’re always going to try to turn a profit for their shareholders,” LaFleur said. “But at the end of the day, it’s not really for us to say how they make their money.”

UA Mall wakes to walk for AIDS Sunday morning trek includes testing, talks from disease survivors By Alexandra Bortnik Daily Wildcat

The AIDS Walk Tucson, benefiting the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation, completed its 23rd annual walk on Sunday on the UA Mall. The Mall was scattered with tents from various organizations such as Devereux Arizona Proud Families, a program specializing in the recruitment and training of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families for adoption and foster care, and the Pima County Health Department, which provided free HIV testing. Jeffrey Scott Brown, a 47-year-old Tucson resident and creator of AIDS Ribbon Tucson, staked the ribbon on the Mall as an active memorial to those who have died from HIV or AIDS. The first incarnation of the ribbon was carried out by those living with HIV as the last entry of the 2008 pride parade, Brown said. “We’ve respectfully asked every year to be the final entry as a solemn reminder of all those people that we’ve lost, and a reminder to the folks watching to please remain vigilant, stay safe, play safely, educate yourself and those around you that you care about and remember those who went before us,” Brown said. Brown created the ribbon after losing several of his friends to HIV, and stressed the importance memorializing those who have died as way to maintain awareness. “If we forget we’re lost, (and) we will all lose, and we’ve got to stick

with it,” he added. Tucson AIDS Quilt, a community art project, memorializes members of the Tucson community who died of AIDS. The inspiration for sewing quilts as a memorial came from the 1983 protest in San Francisco when the AIDS epidemic first broke out, according to Greg Rogan, a volunteer for the foundation and owner of The Medicine Shoppe, a community pharmacy. Protesters marched into the San Francisco Federal Building and posted large sheets of cardboard on the walls that listed the names of people

who have died from HIV. The series of posters resembled a quilt, which led the idea of sewing quilts as a form of remembering those who have died from HIV. Serjio Santa Cruz, a volunteer for the AIDS Foundation, read the names of those who have passed during the quilt ceremony. “My reason for doing this is because I am HIV positive … ever since I found out about my diagnosis is when I started getting more active and more involved, not only in the gay community but in the hetero community as well,” he said. “The

more education we get on it, the more knowledgeable we become on prevention.” Mathias Pollock, a UA graduate and returning Peace Corps volunteer, worked with an HIV/AIDS organization in Ecuador. Pollock, who is from Washington, D.C., said that the state has a high population of people infected with AIDS, and that several of his friends are struggling with the disease. “Coming back to the United States, I wanted to keep supporting the cause,” Pollock said. Volunteers also included

UA students, such as members from Alpha Phi Omega, the UA’s community service fraternity. Eric Allee, a microbiology junior and member of the fraternity, said the event was a good way to give back to the community and raise awareness in a positive atmosphere. Debbie Doehnert, a fourth-year pharmacy student, said she has been running in the AIDS Walk for five years and that participating in events that fight against AIDS is important, especially because of the high prevalence of AIDS in Tucson.

The banks have not only fired tens of thousands of workers to boost surging profits but also continued sitting on billions of dollars in assets while restricting the business loans needed to create new jobs. “They got bailed out, we got sold out,” the crowd chanted. By late afternoon in New York, protesters jammed Times Square to a standstill, pushing in waves against the massive tourist presence that inhabits the square around the clock. “This is what democracy looks like,” the protesters chanted. “We are the 99 percent.” Tourists responded in kind, applauding. In Washington, about 1,000 demonstrators demanded that Congress pass President Barack Obama’s jobs-stimulus bill. The Rev. Al Sharpton, the U.S. civil rights leader who helped organize the march, declared that if Congress doesn’t solve the crisis “in the suite,” then protesters would solve it “in the street.” The group that grabbed broadcast headlines through Saturday, however, was the masked anarchist “black block” protesters in Rome, who set fire to cars on the central Via Cavour, causing gasoline tank explosions.

A burst pipe in the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage rushes with water on Feb. 3. Record-low temperatures across the city caused pipe problems, natural gas shortages and disrupted water service that morning.

Preventative measures aim to keep pipes from bursting After winter’s problems, UA implements measures to avoid a recurrence By Amer Taleb DAILY WILDCAT

The subzero temperatures that froze and busted building pipes across campus in early February caused more than half a million dollars in damage and took months to repair. Preventative measures will be fully in place by the end of the year to try and stop a second occurrence. Damaged pipes created gas line pressure issues, disrupted water flow to buildings and caused indoor flooding, said Chris Kopach, assistant vice president of Facilities Management. Kopach said approximately 20 buildings across campus, including the College of Medicine, Henry Koffler building and the Learning Services building, were

“We have a monsoon preparedness plan that we review every June. This deep freeze woke us up and made us realize we also have to prepare for the winter as well,” Kopach added. The UA’s landscape also took a hit and some of it is probably beyond repair, Kopach said. Between 100 and 120 trees, some as old as 70, were damaged. Many of them were priceless, Kopach said. “As we work with the insurance company, how do we price a tree whose seeds a professor brought back seven years ago from Africa for an experiment?” he said. There’s 11 million square feet on campus and more than 350 buildings, which makes preventing every potential problem impossible, Kopach said. “But we can work with the information we’ve gathered in the past,” Kopach said. “We can put the best measures in place to minimize damage and that’s our goal.”

affected by freezing pipes. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I never had a day like that,” Kopach said. About 120 Facilities Management staff worked to clean up spills, repair lines and open ceilings to access the pipes. Kopach said all the buildings were kept functional and no classes were canceled. “Unless it was your building, you didn’t know there was a problem until you read about it in the paper,” Kopach said. Pipes that supply water to buildings and to the sprinkler system will receive an insulated sleeve around mid-December that will prevent them from freezing. Some fan coils, which are for the air conditioning system, already have heaters that prevent water from freezing in the coil. The rest will have them around mid-December. Preventative measures will cost more than $100,000 and buildings are being surveyed to see if they need them, Kopach said.

could understand a monthly fee, but not a per-transaction charge. “I’d be OK with a minimum monthly fee up to $10,” Pearson said. “But for a constant fee every time I swipe, I think that’s unrealistic and unreasonable, and I would definitely look into different credit unions or banks.” Others say banks are just trying to do what they can to run their businesses. “Banks are for-profit companies, so they’re always going to try to turn a profit for their shareholders,” LaFleur said. “But at the end of the day, it’s not really for us to say how they make their money.”

He did not pack much warm clothing, even though he is biking through the Rocky Mountains, he said. To maintain his bike, Mauser carries tools, a patch kit and tire tubes.

Students: Sometimes it’s not really about you Kristina Bui Daily Wildcat

P

hilip Garber has a painful stutter. But he’s also a “precocious and confident” 10th grader, and he was enrolled in Elizabeth Snyder’s history class at the County College of Morris until Snyder emailed him to suggest he hold his questions “so we do not infringe on other students’ time.” After the email, in which the adjunct professor advised him to wait until after class to ask questions and to write down his responses to her on paper instead of vocally participating, Philip went to the college dean and reported the incident. The dean suggested he transfer to another instructor’s class, which Philip did. Administrators of the college in Randolph, N.J., said Snyder had acted improperly and that Philip had been discriminated against. The New York Times covered the story last week. In the first article, Snyder declined to comment. Instead, she directed questions to the college, which she had been advised to do. Three days later, The New York Times followed up with Snyder, who said she feared for her safety after the first story because of the “hateful, vile, vicious emails” she’d received afterward. Snyder said she was a “victim of a character assassination,” and defended her actions against readers who accused her of unfairly treating Philip because of his stutter. According to the Times, Snyder has been a teacher for more than three decades. She has taught middle school social studies, and has received generally positive reviews from current and former students at the County College of Morris. In May, she was named educator of the year by the college’s Educational Opportunity Fund for the work she has done with students who face academic or financial challenges. Philip is being homeschooled in some subjects, and taking history and English composition courses at the college. He acts and writes for Our Time Theatre Company, a group for people who stutter, and he maintains a YouTube channel under the handle TheStutteringMan. He is “remarkably uninhibited,” as described by the Times. He’s also 16. Hardly more than a baby, when you think about it. Considering her long and largely successful history as an educator, it didn’t take long for a 16-yearold child and some snap judgments to ruin Snyder’s reputation. As a 20-year-old college student, I am just a kid playing grown-up. I chafe under unnecessary authority, I resent being told what is best for me, I am frequently petty and selfish and kind of an asshole. At 16, I was probably unbearable. In the follow-up, Snyder told the Times that her email to Philip was written not because of his stutter, but because she felt his eagerness to ask and answer questions took up too much class time. What the Times praised as “remarkably uninhibited” was a classroom interruption. The Times reported that during one class period, Philip kept his hand raised for nearly the entire 75 minutes, but was not called on. Snyder said she did not call on others or tell Philip his “speaking is disruptive,” as he claimed. In fact, Philip had “misinterpreted” the situation entirely, she thought. He had “assumed it had something to do with his stuttering.” Snyder said she sent the email because he seemed “unfamiliar with a college lecture format and frankly a little rude” for so often interrupting her. The Times’ first article was one-sided, and the subsequent backlash against Snyder undeserved. Philip Garber has a stutter. He’s also just 16. There were other students in his class — students whose time matters just as much as his, students whose time he cannot monopolize — and Snyder’s responsibility was to make sure all her students were receiving the education they were paying for. In this case, the words of a 16-year-old carried more weight than an experienced educator because he often struggled to speak fluidly. Educators rarely make the news. When they do, it’s usually because we think they’re not doing their job correctly. We should trust teachers and professors to do their jobs, and let experience speak for itself. — Kristina Bui is the copy chief. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Police Beat By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Boozin’ and cruisin’ A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday when a driver flagged him down on Park Avenue north of University Boulevard. The man told the officer that the driver of the car behind him was drinking beer while driving. The officer looked at the car and saw the driver drinking from a brown bottle in a brown paper bag. When the driver saw the officer, he quickly handed the bottle to his passenger and motioned for him to hide it. The officer made a U-turn and signaled for the man to pull the car over. When the man pulled over, the passenger got out of the car. When the officer got out of his patrol car to tell the passenger to get back inside, the driver pulled away quickly, almost hitting other cars and swerving into oncoming traffic. The passenger told the officer the driver’s name was “Tito.” He said he had met Tito in Pima County Jail and didn’t know much about him. He also said Tito had picked him up from the Ronstadt Transit Center downtown and he was going to be dropped off at the Jamba Juice on Park Avenue. The man said Tito had been drinking beer while driving. The officer ran a records check on the passenger, who had a misdemeanor warrant for trespassing. He arrested the man for the warrant and searched him. During the search, the officer found a glass pipe and two pills, one a common cholesterol medication and the other part acetaminophen and part oxycodone. The man said the pain pill was from his uncle’s prescription and he did not have a prescription for it. The pipe belonged to Tito, he said. The man was arrested for the warrant, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of prescription medication and he was booked into Pima County Jail.

Jerk escapes booking at Main Library A UAPD officer met with a student on Tuesday who reported she had seen a man masturbating in the Main Library. The woman said she had been on the fifth floor of the library around 5:30 p.m. when she heard a man seated near her making strange noises. When she looked at him, she saw he had his penis cupped in his hand and appeared to be masturbating. She immediately left the area, but the man followed her and asked her why she left. The woman said he got into the elevator and that she later saw him near the north entrance of the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center. She described the man to be about 40 years old, Caucasian and bald. He was wearing a navy blue shirt and carried a black backpack. Video surveillance confirmed the man entered the elevator. A man matching the description was later seen “just hanging around” at the Psychology building. The officer requested that detectives complete a flyer of the man to possibly identify him.

Repertory Theatre’s Remake of remake ‘Fever’ brings the heat makes us nostalgic REVIEW

By Jason Krell DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona Repertory Theatre’s “Hay Fever” is one of the most absurd plays to be found anywhere. That’s exactly what makes it a must-see. “Hay Fever” is all about the overdramatic Bliss family and one of the most insane weekends a person could imagine being a part of. The centerpiece, and arguably the instigator of most of the theatrics, is Judith Bliss, played by the exceedingly talented Megan Davis. Judith is a retired stage actress who longs to live in the shows she puts on, so instead she brings the shows to her life. Everything is a hammed up act with her, and it’s neigh impossible to tell what feelings of hers are real and which are fabricated. Her two children, Sorel and Simon, played by Georgia Harrison and Taylor Rascher respectively, reflect their mother like two parts of the same mirror. That is to say, Harrison played Sorel with all of Judith’s wit and Rascher’s Simon had all of Judith’s energy. Both traits were ratcheted up to the maximum to hilarious effect. The father, David, is a writer who spends much of his time working in his study. While this removes him from much of the play, that didn’t stop Joe Hubbard from playing him every bit as quick and excitable as the rest of his family. The chaos the show is based around begins as all four members of the Bliss family realize they’ve each invited a guest to stay the weekend. This creates plenty of initial tension, which provides for some amusing banter, especially between the family and their housekeeper Clara, played by Lauren Miller. Clara is the only character MICHELLE A.

for the real ‘Thing’ By Josh Weisman DAILY WILDCAT

After what manages to be an entertaining enough first act, “The Thing” gradually settles into the middling Hollywood prequel one might have expected it to be from the start. Seemingly content with bringing little new material to the table, the filmmakers ultimately turn in a colorless point-and-shoot effort that is as likely to stultify the uninitiated as it is to frustrate purists of the 1982 film (itself a remake) on which it is based. Comparisons to John Carpenter’s iteration (while not always necessary) are at times inevitable, as this updated version is more or less a circuitous remake of the film we’ve already seen and enjoyed. 1982’s “Thing” started off where this one ends: Two Norwegian scientists, having survived an alien attack on their Antarctic base, chase their otherworldly predator (disguised as a dog) into an American site a few miles away. From there, the Americans fall under attack from the creature, whose threat lies in its ability to biologically replicate its victims (i.e., disguise itself as a human). The 2011 film, then, takes us through the events that led up to this point — specifically, what happened at the Norwegian base before the American story began. This idea may have been more effective were it not an almost beat-for-beat replica of what took place the first (chronologically, second) time around. Much like Carpenter’s version, at about 30 minutes in, the monster begins picking off the characters one by one, leaving everyone to wonder who among them is human, and who is really an alien in a human disguise. It’s difficult to pinpoint what

could have made a film like this better. The premise, while admittedly great, does call for a certain narrative repetition that the filmmakers can’t (and shouldn’t) be blamed for. In all, one might leave the theater feeling “The Thing” is harmless, but such is exactly the problem: Where the original was giddily scary, its successor never does anything impressive enough to feel rightfully entertaining, and at the same time never feels shamelessly incompetent enough to be much fun. The result, then, is a film that seems content to wallow in mediocrity, employing so-so special effects and painfully contrived gotchatype scares to deliver a product that is forgettable at very best. Regarding what problems can be diagnosed, however, it becomes clear early on that the monster in “The Thing” is physically onscreen far too much. Like this summer’s COURTESY OF IMDB.COM “The Green Lantern,” there comes a point where the viewer can observe the CGI uninterrupted for such a long time that he begins to scrutinize it, causing the Thing itself to lose all of the mystery and appeal that Carpenter so deftly supplied it by leaving things up to our imaginations in 1982. By the film’s end, Dutch director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. seems so content with adhering to cliches that he ends the film on a gunshot and cut to black, a technique too amateurish to even be taken seriously. In all, audiences would be wise to avoid “The Thing,” and should instead pick up Carpenter’s far superior version for a scary night at home.

Last lap for swim senior On the comeback trail from a shoulder injury, Emma Darlington wants to go out on top

Senior Emma Darlington believes the Wildcats will challenge for the NCAA title under first-year head coach Eric Hansen. Darlington is in her fifth season at Arizona and is on the comeback trail from a career-threatening shoulder injury.

By Cameron Moon Daily Wildcat

After redshirting for the 2010 season with a shoulder injury, Arizona swimming senior Emma Darlington is back in the pool, and excited about it. Darlington has been a member of the swim team since 2007, helping lead Arizona to its only NCAA championship in 2008. In 2009, her junior year, Darlington was named an All-American in the 200-meter freestyle relay. But prior to last season, she was feeling discomfort in her left shoulder, the same shoulder that plagued her enough to require surgery in the summer heading into her sophomore year. “It just wasn’t feeling great, and I felt that there was something wrong from the first surgery,” she said. “I got three cortisone injections. That didn’t help, so finally they said they were going to have to open me up and see what’s going on.” Doctors later found out that her shoulder capsule was loose, meaning that her shoulder was able to pop in and out of place. The Tucson native then underwent her second surgery in two years and was unable to compete with the team. “I was really bummed to miss last year

Parrom’s mother dies of cancer By Kevin Zimmerman Daily Wildcat

Lisa Williams, Arizona basketball forward Kevin Parrom’s mother, has died after a struggle with cancer. “I Love You Momma! You Dont Have To Deal With No More Pain And Now You Can Watch Ya Baby Boy Make You Proud From Up Above. Love You Ma ! RIP,” Parrom tweeted Sunday night. Parrom was home to visit Williams, who was critically ill and in the hospital, in New York last month. During his trip, Jason Gonzalez, of the Bronx, New York, shot him in the right leg and left hand while they were in Parrom’s father’s apartment. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Kevin and his family at this most difficult time,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said in a statement. “I have never been around a young person who has dealt with more hardship in such a short period of time than Kevin. “I ask all Arizona Wildcat fans to join us on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 2 p.m. at our annual Red-Blue Game to be there when we introduce Kevin Parrom as a part of our 2011-12 team. He will rely on all of us here in Tucson for support in moving forward.” Over the summer, the 6-foot-6 junior’s grandmother also died. “I’ve been through everything,” Parrom told the Daily Wildcat during last week’s media day. “That’s how I’m staying composed. I lost my grandmother this summer so I’m just using my family as my motivation. That’s why I’m staying composed. I’ll be all right. I’m tough. I’ll get through this.” Team spokesman Richard Paige said any plans for Parrom to return to New York are private at this point.

because I started with that class, and to not be able to leave with them was sad,” Darlington said. Now that she’s back on the deck, Darlington is ready to make a splash, much in the way she had been since she set foot on campus almost five years ago. “My main goal this year is to be on a national championship winning relay,” she said. “It doesn’t matter which one; we’ve got a lot of talented girls that are vying for those four spots. It’s going to be tough, but I think it’s going to be a fun journey. I’m looking forward to March.” While she obviously has big plans for the end of the season, Darlington realizes that there is still a season to be played out, and that she is going to be looked at as a leader due to her experience. “I know what it takes to win, and I see that we have everything that we had in 2008, and we’re taking it a step further, and by knowing that I’m able to inspire them more,” she said. “We all have that one goal of winning this year, and just by knowing what it takes, I think the girls get really excited about that. It helps.” Darlington’s focus, as well as the focus of the new coaching staff, is making sure that she has the stamina and is prepared to race.

Her sprint coach, Rick DeMont, who has been with the team for 22 seasons, said he expects big things from his most experienced swimmer. “If you would have asked me three months ago, I would have said ‘not much,’ but now I’m expecting her to do her best times, and be a big contributor to the team,” DeMont said. DeMont is also very proud of the way she has handled her return to the water. “Honestly, I didn’t think she would be here with us, because she’s had some bad experiences with her shoulder that I really thought would shut her down, so just the fact that she’s here is a testament to her determination and what she wants to get out of this sport,” he said. “I’m impressed.” Head coach Eric Hansen also expects great things from Darlington in her “last lap” around the pool. Hansen, who admittedly is still getting to know Darlington, still recognizes the potential that she has for this season. “I’m learning a lot about Emma and her leadership is something that’s invaluable to us and she has competed at a high level,” Hansen said. “It’s great to have her representing our team the way she does.”

Arizona volleyball had its first conference sweep this weekend, defeating Pac-12 Conference newbies Colorado and Utah. On Friday, the Wildcats (13-6, 5-5 Pac-12) headed to Boulder, Colo., for a 3-0 win against the Buffaloes (25-17, 25-22, 25-18). Friday also marked Arizona’s first match against Colorado since 1990. Freshman Madison Kingdon led the team in hitting with 12 kills and senior captain Cursty Jackson made seven blocks for her season-high. Fellow senior captain Courtney Karst also contributed 10 kills for the Wildcats. The team collectively held the Buffaloes to a .052 hitting percentage, the lowest average for any of the Wildcats’ opponents so far. Within 24 hours, the Wildcats were back on the court to take on the Utah Utes, who proved to be more of a challenge for the Wildcats. Arizona had to wake up at 5:30 a.m. on game day in order to catch a flight to Salt Lake City. By match time, head coach Dave Rubio said his team looked tired. Kingdon, the team’s lead hitter, was also out due to a bad ankle injury she suffered on Friday night, Rubio said. “Everyone was thinking, ‘Oh my god, what are we going to do?’” Rubio said. The entire team stepped up in her absence. Karst led the team with 17 kills on Saturday while Jackson and fellow senior Marketa Hanzlova had 14 and 11 kills, respectively. “Cursty and Courtney continue to provide great leadership,” Rubio said. “They’re really setting the tone for the younger players.” Following the seniors’ lead, freshman Taylor Arizobal had 11 kills. Sophomore libero Candace Nicholson continued to shine in the back row with 23 digs, and freshman Ronni Lewis added a career high of 13 digs. Freshman setter Chloe Mathis made 49 assists for the Wildcats. The Utes out-hit the Wildcats in the first game, but Arizona came back to win three consecutive games in a row to garner the 3-1 win (18-25, 25-21, 25-16, 25-22). Similar to last week’s triumph over No. 6 UCLA, Rubio characterized the match as a brave win. “This was a really gutsy win for us,” Rubio said. “Our players were so good, so confident and they found a way to get it done.”

Wildcats hang tough in regulation, falter in overtime in 1-0 loss to Cal By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

The Arizona soccer team came out firing against No. 18 California on Friday. Sophomore Jazmin Ponce directed a shot at the goal in the opening seconds of the game. It looked good, but amounted to nothing. That has become a familiar theme for the Wildcats this season. After an impressive 90 minutes of regulation when Arizona looked like it could pull the upset, the Wildcats faltered in the opening seconds of overtime and fell to the Golden Bears 1-0. These early-game shots, and misses, have become routine for Ponce and her teammates. “I know I get to do it a lot and not one goes in,” Ponce said. “I’m just waiting for that moment where one goes in and they all start coming after that.” For the majority of the game, the Wildcats were in control, outshooting the Golden Bears 10-8 on the night. But despite playing well for 90 minutes, Arizona just couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net. And in overtime, it only took one mistake to end the game. “(Soccer) is a game where you can dominate the game and play well the entire game,” head coach Lisa Oyen said. “You have five seconds during the game where you make a mistake in the front half, you make a mistake in the back half, and that’s the entire game.” The surprising part about the Wildcats’ latest near miss is that the game wasn’t supposed to be close. Arizona is 1-11-2 on the season,

Softball coasts through Fall Classic Wildcats trail only once in five games, put on offensive showcase throughout

“It’s our goal; we want to compete, we want to let people know that we’re Arizona softball, and you’re going to have to work really hard to beat us.”

By Cameron Moon Daily Wildcat

Arizona continued its fall ball schedule with a sweep this weekend in the Arizona Fall Classic at Hillenbrand Stadium. The Wildcats won all five games by a combined margin of 54-4. Four of the five teams they faced were victims of their powerful offense and pitching, losing via mercy rule. “You always want to keep going, keep feeding off of it,” said junior pitcher Kenzie Fowler. “Once you score a run, you want to score another. Mercies happen, but it’s a good feeling to get that many runs on the board.” Softball handled the Phoenix College Bears 6-2 Friday evening, registering two-hit performances from senior Karissa Buchanan, junior second-team All-American Brigette Del Ponte and sophomore Alex Lavine. The Wildcat bats were at again, as extra base hits rained in from Del Ponte, who hit her first home run of fall ball, a triple from catcher Chelsea Goodacre, and a double apiece from Kristen Arriola and Lavine. “Everyone was hitting throughout the lineup,” Del Ponte said. “No one gave up at bats, we didn’t see too many strikeouts, and everyone was swinging hard.”

our main goal, I guess.” Fowler and fellow pitchers Shelby Babcock and Kiley Aldridge stole the show for the Wildcats, giving up seven hits and combining to strike out 14 batters on the day. In the game against New Mexico, Fowler pitched a complete game. In 78 starts, she has completed 55 games or 70 percent of her starts. Head coach Mike Candrea was very pleased with the pitching this weekend.

Saturday’s games against New Mexico and Central Arizona College alone were won by the Wildcats by a combined margin of 29-2. Both games were shortened due to the mercy rule. “It’s our goal; we want to compete, we want to let people know that we’re Arizona softball, and you’re going to have to work really hard to beat us,” Del Ponte said. “We worked really hard throughout the whole week, so that was

Lalang wins for men, Women XC places third By Emi Komiya Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s crosscountry team made its mark at the Wisconsin adidas Invitational in Madison, Wisc. on Friday by placing in the top 10 with a thirdplace finish out of 42 teams. For the men, freshman Lawi Lalang won the 8,000-meter men’s race for the men’s team that placed 36th overall. Sophomore Elvin Kibet was the first Wildcat to cross the finish line for the women’s team, placing 12th against another 300 runners. She was followed by the UA’s second runner, junior Jen Bergman, who finished 15th. Freshman Haley Stenquist was Arizona’s third finisher at 53rd. Junior Elizabeth Apgarcame in 73rd place and sophomore Amanda Russell in 77th. “This race was really different from any other race I’ve ran,”

Kibet said. “I was so calm and so relaxed and then I realized this is a big race and I should be a little nervous. I wasn’t feeling well last week but coaches supported me and I pushed through.”

The two teams to finish ahead of the Wildcats were No. 24 Washington, who came in first place, followed by unranked Vanderbilt. “We did really well, everyone worked hard. I couldn’t believe we won third place,” Kibet said. On the men’s side, sophomore Patrick Zacharias was Arizona’s second runner to cross the finish line at 141st place. Freshman Thomas Valente finished 240th, freshman Kenji Bierig was 251st, and redshirt freshman Sam Macaluso finished in 261st place. Lalang beat the second-place runner, North Carolina State’s Ryan Hill, by 15 seconds with a time of 23:10.8. It was Lalang’s third straight win. “After the first mile I was moving around a lot but after that, there was no one really around me,” Lalang said. “It felt nice to win again but it is time to prepare for the next race.”

Not to be outdone, the offense was yet again the focal point of Arizona’s second game of the day, compiling 14 hits in four innings and scoring 20 runs. Thirteen of the first 14 Wildcat batters reached base, bursting out to a 10-0 lead before Central Arizona could even step into the batter’s box. “Our offense was awesome, it’s good it showed,” Candrea said. “We hit like that in practice, so it’s good to know we have hitting

like that and I think our lineup is going to be awesome this year.” On the final day of the Fall Classic, Arizona showed no signs of slowing down, beating Cypress College 9-0 and Pima College 10-0 in two mercy-rule shortened games. Babcock, a sophomore, and Fowler combined to allow one hit in both games, but Fowler says there is still work to be done. “There’s a lot I need to work on, but it was good to see some of the stuff I’ve been working on in the bullpen pay off in game situations,” said Fowler. “I definitely need to go back at it this week, and look at film, re-evaluate everything to see what was working, what’s not working. But it was a good first weekend for me.” According to Del Ponte, the most important part of this weekend wasn’t the wins, the pitching, or the hitting: It was the experience with her teammates. “These are bonding games, she said. “Everyone got to know where people stand in the lineup, or where people stand hitting-wise, so it was a really good weekend for us.”

Cardinals top Brewers, World Series bound Mcclatchy tribune

MILWAUKEE — The St. Louis Cardinals are back in the World Series for the 18th time after putting away the Milwaukee Brewers, 12-6, in Game 6 of the NLCS. They will face the Texas Rangers in Game 1 on Wednesday in St. Louis. The Cards, who have won 10 of those World Series, used the same formula that carried them throughout the NLCS: A quick start on offense and a steady stream of pitchers out of the bullpen. David Freese, the likely MVP of the NLCS, had the big blast in the first inning in Game 6 with a 3-run homer as the Cardinals took a 4-0 lead off Shaun Marcum, who would last just one inning. It was Freese’s third homer of the NLCS and fourth of the post-season. The Cardinals added another run in the second on a homer by Rafael Furcal, and four more in the third as Albert Pujols homered. They needed all that offense as the Brewers kept hanging around with a homer by Corey Hart in the first, and a pair of homers in the second by Ricky Weeks and Jonathan Lucroy.

It was 5-4 at that point before the Cardinals broke it open in the third. The Cardinals also added a pair of runs in the fifth thanks to sloppy play in the field by the Brewers. Pujols gave the Cardinals a brief scare in the bottom of the fifth when he landed awkwardly on his right arm while tagging out Ryan Braun. Pujols stayed in the game and later drove in another run in the eighth. It was the same arm that he hurt in June when he collided with Kansas City’s Wilson Betemit and missed almost a month with a broken bone. But the Cardinals bullpen kept the Brewers in check the rest of the way as Fernando Salas, Marc Rzepczynski, Octavio Dotel, Lancy Lynn and Jason Motte wrapped it up. Mark Kotsay made the game’s final out on strikeout. Game 1 of the World Series will be Wednesday in St. Louis with Game 2 on Thursday. The series shifts to Texas for three games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday before returning to St. Louis for a potential Game 6 and 7 on Oct. 26 and 27.

Humanities Week shows college’s strength By Arts & Life Staff Daily Wildcat

The College of Humanities is putting on its fourth annual Humanities Week. Over the years, the week has evolved, proving a continued concentrated effort to bring a series of free lectures and workshops to the campus dealing with such topics as dance, literature, urbanization, music, culture, ideology and religion. With more than dozens of degree programs and 10 times as many faculty, the college tries with this week to span the breadth of what’s to offer with their different courses. Here are some highlights from this week’s events: Monday 5 to 6 p.m.

Editor of the journal Diagram and the New Michigan Press, and the author of five books, Monson will tackle the history of the labyrinth from the classic mythological roots he studied while in Crete this year to why it remains in culture today.

But Charles Scruggs, an American literature professor, will break down the interplay between blues music, the painter Edward Hopper and the Modernist movement and two famous black writers of the 20th century, Albert Murray and Ralph Ellison, with his lecture. He’ll highlight “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” as a prelude to issues which would continue to appear in the modern world, long after the World War I-era in which he wrote.

The Language We Dance In: Story, Social Meaning, and Identity in Africa Presented by Praise Zenenga of the Africana Studies Program So you think you can dance? Well learn a little more about how that skill translates to all parts of life with this lecture.

The organizers are even inviting guests to celebrate Halloween a little early and come dressed as a Russian character from any folktale (with prizes handed out to those with the best costumes at the event).

Hulu video site owners call off sale Mcclatchy tribune

LOS ANGELES — The owners of Hulu have taken the pioneering online video site off the market after hoping to fetch $2 billion. News Corp., the Walt Disney Co. and Providence Equity Partners issued a statement Thursday, saying they saw more value in retaining the popular 3-year-old service than in selling it off. “Our focus now rests solely on ensuring that our efforts as owners contribute in a meaningful way to the exciting future that lies ahead for Hulu,” the owners said. Santa Monica, Calif.-based Hulu was placed on the auction block in June after its backers received an unsolicited overture for the site, which consistently ranks among the top destinations for watching video online. The free, ad-supported version of Hulu attracts more than 26 million visitors a month, according to measurement firm ComScore. This

summer, the paid Hulu Plus service hit a milestone of 1 million subscribers and is now available on 120 million devices. Among the suitors for the site were search giant Google Inc., digital media site Yahoo Inc. and satellite TV distributor Dish Network Inc. But as the process proceeded, there was disagreement among the owners about whether to shed the asset. In an earnings call with media analysts in August, News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey raised questions about whether a sale was inevitable. “We’ll see where it ultimately ends up,” Carey said of the bidding process. “Does it make sense to pursue that path, or, you know, does it make sense for us to stay in an ownership position and continue to have it driven by content owners?” Comcast Corp. is also a part owner of Hulu, but as a condition of the

Jason Kilar’s company, Hulu, has reached a dizzying level of popularity among users by offering easy and free online access to episodes of hit TV programs.

government approval of its acquisition of NBCUniversal this year it surrendered any say in the management or operations of the company. People familiar with the auction

said the media owners were unwilling to offer long-term licenses to the entertainment content under terms that would fetch top dollar from potential buyers.

Hulu has gained traction with online viewers who come to watch current episodes of such popular shows as “Modern Family,” “The Office” and “Parenthood.” But during the summer, Fox imposed an eight-day wait to view new episodes of “Glee” and other popular broadcast shows on the Hulu site. Only subscribers to the Hulu Plus service or the Dish Network can see the latest shows the day after their initial airing. Hulu’s media owners position the decision to retain the site differently. People close to the matter say the service holds greater long-term value for those owners, who will continue to control a dominant online distributor with a growing advertising and subscription business. One unanswered question is whether Hulu’s chief executive, Jason Kilar, will remain at the helm. He has yet to say publicly whether he will stay with the venture that he built.

The HPV vaccine can reduce the chance of genital warts and cancers in both men and women. Many insurance plans cover the full cost of the vaccine.

Q

What is a pap smear and how often should I get one?

A. Named after Greek scientist Dr. Georgios Papanikolaou, the Pap test is done during a pelvic exam by a medical provider. It is one of the most reliable and effective cancer screening tests available. A small sample of cells is gently collected from the cervix (at the opening to a woman’s uterus) with a very tiny brush and placed in a vial. The cells are then sent to a laboratory for more testing. Originally, the sample of cells used to be “smeared” across a microscope slide – hence the name “pap smear.” The Pap test has been credited with drastically reducing deaths from cervical cancer and for many years was the main reason that women visited their doctor for yearly checkups. Testing guidelines recently changed and continue to evolve. The American Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics currently recommends that women should get a Pap test by age 21. In addition, the group advises women under 30 to have a Pap test every 2 years. Women 30 years old and older, who have had 3 normal Pap tests for 3 years in a row, can space out their Pap test to every 3 years. Many women are concerned when they learn

Because it is a screening tool, a Pap test alone is not used to diagnose disease. An abnormal result identifies women who need further testing to identify what is happening on their cervix. Cervical dysplasia is almost always caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and will often get better without any treatment at all. Most abnormal pap tests will revert to normal within 1-2 years. Regular pap tests allow women to monitor their health and get treated early (IF needed) before abnormal cells progress to something more serious.

It could mean an overgrowth (or undergrowth) of yeast cells, irritation from intercourse or tampon use, the presence of white blood cells, or cell growth that is termed “dysplasia.” Dysplasia, from the Greek: “dys” means abnormal or impaired and “plasia” means cell growth.

UA Mall wakes to walk for AIDS Sunday morning trek includes testing, talks from disease survivors By Alexandra Bortnik Daily Wildcat

The AIDS Walk Tucson, benefiting the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation, completed its 23rd annual walk on Sunday on the UA Mall. The Mall was scattered with tents from various organizations such as Devereux Arizona Proud Families, a program specializing in the recruitment and training of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families for adoption and foster care, and the Pima County Health Department, which provided free HIV testing. Jeffrey Scott Brown, a 47-year-old Tucson resident and creator of AIDS Ribbon Tucson, staked the ribbon on the Mall as an active memorial to those who have died from HIV or AIDS. The first incarnation of the ribbon was carried out by those living with HIV as the last entry of the 2008 pride parade, Brown said. “We’ve respectfully asked every year to be the final entry as a solemn reminder of all those people that we’ve lost, and a reminder to the folks watching to please remain vigilant, stay safe, play safely, educate yourself and those around you that you care about and remember those who went before us,” Brown said. Brown created the ribbon after losing several of his friends to HIV, and stressed the importance memorializing those who have died as way to maintain awareness. “If we forget we’re lost, (and) we will all lose, and we’ve got to stick

An estimated 5,000 attendees at the 23rd annual AIDS Walk Tucson gather at the starting line just moments before the 5-km campus walk began on Sunday. AIDS Walk Tucson is organized by the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation to raise awareness and generate money for AIDS research.

with it,” he added. Tucson AIDS Quilt, a community art project, memorializes members of the Tucson community who died of AIDS. The inspiration for sewing quilts as a memorial came from the 1983 protest in San Francisco when the AIDS epidemic first broke out, according to Greg Rogan, a volunteer for the foundation and owner of The Medicine Shoppe, a community pharmacy. Protesters marched into the San Francisco Federal Building and posted large sheets of cardboard on the walls that listed the names of people

who have died from HIV. The series of posters resembled a quilt, which led the idea of sewing quilts as a form of remembering those who have died from HIV. Serjio Santa Cruz, a volunteer for the AIDS Foundation, read the names of those who have passed during the quilt ceremony. “My reason for doing this is because I am HIV positive … ever since I found out about my diagnosis is when I started getting more active and more involved, not only in the gay community but in the hetero community as well,” he said. “The

more education we get on it, the more knowledgeable we become on prevention.” Mathias Pollock, a UA graduate and returning Peace Corps volunteer, worked with an HIV/AIDS organization in Ecuador. Pollock, who is from Washington, D.C., said that the state has a high population of people infected with AIDS, and that several of his friends are struggling with the disease. “Coming back to the United States, I wanted to keep supporting the cause,” Pollock said. Volunteers also included

UA students, such as members from Alpha Phi Omega, the UA’s community service fraternity. Eric Allee, a microbiology junior and member of the fraternity, said the event was a good way to give back to the community and raise awareness in a positive atmosphere. Debbie Doehnert, a fourth-year pharmacy student, said she has been running in the AIDS Walk for five years and that participating in events that fight against AIDS is important, especially because of the high prevalence of AIDS in Tucson.
