Student political leaders call for peers to vote

WebMail outage remains unsolved

By Will Ferguson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students received limited or no access to their WebMail accounts Monday morning and afternoon due to an unknown problem, University Information Technology Services officials said.

“We are still investigating (at) this point but we do not know the cause of the problem,” said UITS Senior Director Limell Lawson .

Several students said they were frustrated at being unable to access their e-mail.

“I got on at 8 a.m. and then couldn’t get on for the rest of the day,” said non-degree seeking student Markus Steinhauser.

Senior mathematics major Jared Hudson said he was frustrated at not being able to access a paper he had e-mailed to himself Sunday evening. “I’ve got to turn in a paper in two hours and I can’t get onto WebMail,” Hudson said. “This is ridiculous.”

By 5 p.m., UITS officials said WebMail was up and running but were still unable to identify the cause for it being down.

“We are fairly certain the issue was not related to the transfer to Google e-mail services,” Lawson said.

Monday was also the first day for students to transfer their WebMail accounts to the Google-based system CatMail, the university’s new email provider. While students were unable to use WebMail for the majority of the day, 2,000 students had transferred to the university’s new email services by 11 a.m., according to Lawson.

She said UITS technicians are still working to identify why WebMail was unavailable to students.

Bipartisan efforts on campus promote student involvement in local elections

By Michelle Cohen ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT While the UA’s political parties may be on opposite ends concerning many issues, there is at least one thing they agree on — it’s important for college students to get out and vote.

Today’s elections will decide three city council seats and several budgetrelated propositions, including whether to give more money to police and Tucson Unified School District schools.

“It’s important for young people to vote, especially in city council elections, because that’s what directly affects us in Tucson,” said Brittni Storrs, president of UA Young Democrats. “Even out-ofstate students (should vote) because UA is their home for the next few years.”

Storrs, a political science senior, said Proposition 200, which would allocate more funding for local police, is one of the most important issues being voted on tomorrow.

“The proposition would increase the

number of police officers in Tucson but the thing is, Tucson is where it should be for a city of its size,” she said. “If passed, Tucson would have to rework the budget to accommodate for the funding. It would really cause more harm than good.”

Coty McKenzie, president of UA College Republicans and political science junior, said it’s important for UA students to vote, but he supports a“yes” VOTING, page 5

Hay proposes ‘Budget Redesign’

By Tim McDonnell ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Money was on the minds of members of the Faculty Senate at its meeting last night, with informational briefings from a number of administrators on issues related to the UA’s budget.

The budget is “the not-quite-fourletter word that’s on all our minds these days,” President Robert Shelton said.

In Provost Meredith Hay’s opening address to the Senate, she introduced a large-scale reformation of the UA’s budget management process known as the “Budget Redesign,” which Hay called “probably the most complicated, in-depth redesign of the university’s budget, ever.”

The plan, which Hay said will take many months to put in place, would involve funneling available dollars

FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

more directly to the colleges, especially the tuition money those colleges are responsible for bringing in.

The redesign is only in its infancy, said Associate Professor of History and former Secretary of the Faculty J.C. Mutchler.

“Nothing has been firmly decided,” Mutchler said.

Vice Dean of the Eller College of Management Leslie Eldenburg fleshed the plan out in a little more detail, although she did not have time in the meeting to present an extensive slide presentation that was included in an informational packet given out to senators.

Eldenberg, who is heading a committee to develop the new budget model, said she conducted exhaustive research on the UA’s peer uniBates/Arizona Daily Wildcat versities to develop the new system.

H1N1 vaccine scarce in Arizona PHOENIX — Arizona has been shipped less than half the swine flu vaccine expected so far.

Physicians, families and publichealth managers are becoming increasingly frustrated by their inability to get the shots to the people who need them most.

The Arizona Department of Health Services said in September it expected 800,000 to 1 million doses of the vaccine to be sent to the state

by Oct. 15.

But only 332,800 had been sent as of last Wednesday.

The delay in getting the vaccine has led to disarray at public-health offices, long lines at immunization clinics and confusion and anger among those who can’t find the vaccine.

Nevertheless, Campus Heath Service spokesperson Terri West confirmed that the UA did receive some H1N1 vaccines yesterday, although

Faculty Senate at its Monday meeting about a newly-developed Strategic Plan Scorecard. “Part of the exercise here is for this to be a little bit of a reality check,” he said.

Well do you at least roll with one of the snazzier generic ones that come with the phone, or do you just have a ring with beeps and boops?

Oh no. I picked the coolest one on my phone.

What’s it called?

I have no idea.

Does your ringtone express who you are, because isn’t that what it’s supposed to do?

I guess. I don’t (pauses, then laughs).

If you could pick any ringtone regardless of price, what would you get?

Probably some fun, (pauses) fun song.

I would probably get something old school, like the Super Mario Bros. theme or something.

What would be your dream ringtone?

My dream ringtone, I don’t know. I used to have ringtones for different people, so if I had a ringtone then I guess it would describe the person who is calling me.

So you’ve always liked to change up the ringtones then?

Yeah. It’s hard to stay with just one for very long.

Jugglers display their wide array of skills at the Stevie Eller Dance Theater last Tuesday. The “New Vaudeville Revue,” running from Nov. 12-14, was casting for its big juggle finale.

World’s largest meatball weighs in at 222.5 pounds CONCORD, N.H. — The bouncing mega-meatball record has landed in the East Coast.

Matthew Mitnitsky, owner of Nonni’s Italian Eatery in Concord, said Sunday that a 222.5-pound meatball was authenticated as the world’s largest after being weighed by state weights and

measures officials.

A Guinness Book of World Records official confirmed the big meatball as a record breaker and presented Mitnitsky with a plaque.

The old record of 198.6 pounds was set just over a month ago after Los Angeles-based talk show host Jimmy

Kimmel vowed to beat a record set in Mexico. That record — 109 pounds — was set in August.

Mitnitsky said he got involved “to bring the meatball back to the East Coast because that’s where it originated.”

NDiaye earns top writing prize

PARIS — French-born writer Marie NDiaye won France’s top literary prize Monday for “Three Strong Women,” her moving tale of the struggles of women in Europe and Africa.

NDiaye has written a dozen books, from novels to short story collections and plays, and in 2001 she won the Femina award. She was born in 1967 in Pithiviers, south of Paris, to a French mother and a Senegalese father.

Her latest novel, “Trois puissantes femmes,” is the story of characters Norah, Fanta and Khadi’s fight to “preserve their dignity in the face of humiliations that life has inflicted,”according to her publisher Gallimard.

Norah is a French lawyer in with roots in West Africa; Fanta is a Senegalese woman living in France, while Khadi is a young Senegalese woman who tries to immigrate illegally to Europe.

“They are in very difficult situations,” NDiaye said in an interview with Mediapart newspaper. “(But) they have a hard inner core that is absolutely unbreakable.”

In accordance with tradition, the annual prize was announced at the Drouant restaurant in Paris, where the Goncourt jury meets each year to select the book it deems to be the best new work in French literature.

Although the prize comes only with a nominal purse, the 105-year-old Prix Goncourt guarantees literary acclaim and high sales for the winning author. Past recipients include Marcel Proust, Simone de Beauvoir and Marguerite Duras.

Elected in 2005 Native of New York Fomer KGUN 9 reporter

Initiatives in Focus Proposition 200 — Public Safety First

A statutory enforcement of police staffing levels and fire department minimum response times already agreed upon by the city to be written into the city charter. Proposition 200 would change the city charter to require 2.4 officers per every 1,000 residents in the city of Tucson, and require the city-wide average fire department response time to be under four minutes, the standard set forth by the National Fire Protection Association in 2004. The city will have five years to achieve this goal, should the proposition pass. There is no source of funding included in the proposition to allow for the city to maintain these numbers.

Major supporters: Tucson Association of Realtors, Tucson Police Officers Association, Tucson Firefighters Association.

Their arguments: Supporters say the city council cannot be trusted to carry out its own 2006 Sustainability Plan which provides 10 years to achieve both goals. They insist the money necessary to achieve the goals is already in the city budget and can be utilized if the city cuts non-essential services like after-school programs and funding for non-profit organizations and outside agencies like the Metro Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Tucson Regional Economics Opportunities.

Major opponents: Don’t Handcuff Tucson, Pima County Taxpayers Association, Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.

Their arguments: Opponents say the initiative is redundant and financially irresponsible.

They insist the city has demonstrated its commitment to public safety by hiring 80 new police officers since 2006 and renovating the West Side Police Services Center. Though further hiring has stopped due to the recession, all three Democratic council members have promised that public safety is the top priority of the city government. Opponents insist that a numerical standard in the city charter will cripple the council’s discretion over the budget and bankrupt other city services.

Proposition 400 — Home Rule

The city council has control of only $420 million in next year’s $1.3 billion city budget. The legislature caps the spending of all Arizona cities according to revenue and growth levels. According to numbers listed in the online version of the proposition, Proposition 400 will allow the city to spend about $42 million more or what it already has projected to collect through 2014, rather than having to put that money into savings. The city has a $46 million deficit for 2010.

Major Supporters: While there are no organized campaigns for or against the proposition, it was created by the Tucson City Council. The Tucson Association of Realtors.

Their Arguments: 400 will not require a tax or city fee increase. Proposition 400 gives the city complete local control concerning its budget and allows the city to replace some of the services that have been cut, due to the city’s and state’s financial crisis.

Major Opponents: There is no formal opposition to 400 though some citizens and online blogs have revealed concerns that the city should be putting money into savings during the economic recession. Arizona College Republicans State Chair Andrew Clark said in an interview last week speaking on his own behalf that he would vote against the measure because he thinks the worst of the recession may still be imminent.

EDITORIAL The Wildcat weighs in on propositions 200, 400, 401 and 402

I

t’s election day in Pima County, and the Wildcat encourages all students to be involved with Tucson politics. Even non-residents should care about the election results, as they will be living in Tucson for however long it takes them to graduate or move elsewhere. The following propositions encompass education, budget spending and safety, and all of these things can affect a student’s experience in the city of Tucson. If you haven’t voted yet, it’s not too late to decide what to do about these propositions. The Wildcat is here to provide last-minute insight to help you at the polls.

Proposition 200

Essentially, proposition 200 aims to add a minimum staffing level of 2.4 police officers per 1,000 city residents. Proposition 200, while increasing public safety, is an unfunded mandate. The initiative will cost over $150 million the next five years, as well as $50 million ever year afterwards. It would be amazing to hire more cops and firefighters, but we have no way to pay for it.

The most likely source of funding will be increased property taxes and diversion of funds from, and subsequent cutting of, many other city programs. This proposition is devoid of fiscal responsibility and reinforces irresponsible government legislation.

Any increase in public safety resources must be accompanied by clearly defined revenue-producing mechanisms. Without the pairing of this initiative with clear sources of revenue, this prop significantly diminishes fiscal transparency and further threatens budgetary viability.

A better, cheaper alternative would be for Tucson to adjust its priorities and use officers more effectively, focusing more on safety and less on red tags.

Vote “No” on Proposition 200.

Proposition 400

Proposition 400, on the other hand, increases local autonomy on budget limitations for the city of Tucson. The“Home Rule”allows the city to set forth alternative expenditure limitations, as opposed to the state-imposed limitations set in 1979-1980 and adjusted for population increase. The alternative limitations amount to a $42 million over the next four fiscal years, so fears of irresponsible overspending are grossly exaggerated. This law is an extension of the“Home Rule”votes approved in 2005. If that had not passed, Tucson would have been forced to deposit $21 million this year when already facing a $46 million deficit.

As Arizona struggles with a multi-billion dollar deficit, stateimposed limitations seem like anger management classes taught

by Mike Stoops. There is no standing, practical or philosophical, to refuse the city authority to make minor adjustments.

The four-year adjustments allow for increased operational funds to help insulate the city against day-to-day effects of the economic downturn. Should spending be increased or curbed during economic downturns? It’s necessary to support increased spending to counteract the burden that already affects Tucsonans. Apart from minor increases in spending, it’s even more critical not to tie the hands of local officials and voters in favor of outdated budget limitations.

Vote “Yes” on Proposition 400.

Proposition 401

According to the Tucson Unified School District Web site, Proposition 401 will ask TUSD residents to approve a 7 percent maintenance and operation override. As a result of the estimated $45 million TUSD budget cut, school programs have been reduced and full-day kindergarten at all schools is at risk, according to the Web site. The 7 percent override is requested to provide around $190 extra per student for schools to use, guaranteed full day kindergarten, increased speed and access to technological learning in the classroom. The money will also fund additional resources that school site councils will recommend for use based on what is needed most at their schools, which can be anything from decreased class size, increased art or music instruction and/or improved counselor or library resources.

Kindergarten is a child’s foundational education experience, so it’s important that kindergarteners get maximum classroom time.“Proposition 401’s real aim is to get full-day kindergarten,” TUSD Staff Attorney Michael Areinoff said.“With the latest budget cuts a lot of schools have been given, they’ve had to get rid of it.”This full school day will transition them into the time-consuming school environment, and they’ll have more time to learn everything that should be covered in the curriculum.

An increase in art or music instruction would diversify a student’s educational experience as well as give them a break from academics. Should the school site councils choose to decrease class sizes, teachers will have the opportunity to give each student individual attention. Most of all, students can have access to counselor services should the administration allocate fund increases in this area.

Voteing“yes” for Proposition 401 will aid in providing practical and necessary sources for TUSD schools.

Vote “Yes” on Proposition 401.

Proposition 402

Proposition 402 asks TUSD residents to approve a capital override that will allow the district to use resources to improve educational technology available to students. According to the TUSD Web site, the district has fallen behind in education technology availability, so the capital override will “address the need” of replacing up to 10,000 malfunctioning or worn out classroom computers.

This means replacing inefficient business operations software to maximize resources for the classroom, and replacing worn out or failing network infrastructure equipment that currently limits technology access for students in the classroom, according to the TUSD Web site. The Web site also states that the district seeks authority to exceed its capital outlay revenue limit by $9 million per year, and the proposed increase will be in effect for seven years.

TUSD is also rife with theft, scecifically with respect to technological items. Last month’s Arizona Daily Star article,“TUSD working with Tucson police after rash of computer thefts,”reported that“in a matter of two months, a combined 64 laptops and 25 digital cameras have been stolen from Tucson High Magnet School and Cholla High Magnet School. The estimated cost to replace the computers at Tucson High alone is $62,000.

Replacement computers for those lost at Cholla is estimated at $14,000.”

Any increase in technological resources should be paired with security methods or held until TUSD can demonstrate the ability to protect expensive items. Otherwise, the city of Tucson is just bringing Christmas early to thieves.

Setting aside the burden of having to protect new purchases, technology should be considered secondary to basic education. It’s necessary that kindergarteners get full classroom time before TUSD schools see an influx in new technology. Before promising these resources, TUSD should prioritize general educational expectations, which include decent class sizes, full-day kindergarten and library and counseling services.

Vote “No” on Proposition 402.

Guest Commentary

Time to Get REAL on the drinking age

his Saturday will mark the 95th Homecoming for the university, and those aged 21 to 91 will enjoy the festivities on the UA Mall, beer in hand. Unfortunately, many current students will not be attending the festivities. Thanks to“increased enforcement efforts”funded by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, students have been encouraged to eschew this tradition in favor of house parties, unsanctioned events rampant with the drinking abuses that this program sought to mitigate. It is just one example of the“out of sight, out of mind”attitude when it comes to drinking by young adults, an approach that chooses to ignore the unintended consequences of“Legal Age 21.”As these associated costs accumulate — ranging from lost revenue for local businesses to lost lives — it becomes more and more imperative to have a frank discussion about modifying the status quo.

Although Campus Health Services is reticent to admit it, drinking can actually be quite a good thing — such an underachiever as Benjamin Franklin declared that beer“is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”The rub lies in the amount. Assuming a drinking citizenry (a more-or-less constant since 4,000 B.C.E.), there would seem to be a public interest in encouraging moderate consumption at the expense of binge drinking.

Legal Age 21 does completely the opposite. While those of legal age are free to buy a six-pack at Fry’s, go to a bar or even brew their own, college students aged 18-20 have no such freedom — if they want to drink, they must go wherever opportunities are available. Without the protection of a bar or other establishment, these students are driven to underground house parties. Too often, such invites come courtesy of 21+ males interested in females who have yet to reach legal age — and the assumed quid pro quo leads to discomfort at best, and sexual assault at worst.

Much handwringing is devoted to the issue of“peer pressure,”but those supposedly concerned with student health ignore the fact that the current laws lead to more peer pressure, rather than less. The attendant at Fry’s does not encourage his customers to down beer bongs in aisle five, nor do the baggers slip drugs into your purchases. Even if a 20-year-old simply wants one drink, he or she must go to a party setting — and one drink rarely cuts it in such an environment. Through such conditioning, students are made unaware of the concept of“moderate drinking.”Social mores relating to alcohol are shaped entirely in these circumstances, and the“drinking culture”so decried by administrators is a direct result of their prohibitionary practices.

The age has also encouraged disrespect for the rule of law, a basic underlying principle of civil society. While theft and other serious crimes are rampant on campus, UAPD devotes far too many of its resources playing cat-and-mouse across campus, catching easy Keystone bait while the real criminals remain at large. Rather than viewing the police as protectors, students learn to view them with a jaundiced eye.

Thanks to the combined efforts of campus administrators and rowdy party animals, underage students are forced to choose between binge-drinking and stone-cold sobriety. Are we really surprised when so many choose the former?

These behavioral insights were confirmed in a 2008 survey of Arizona college students, which found that although overall alcohol use was higher among students over 21-years-old, heavy alcohol use was more prevalent for underage students. Further, freshmen students reported higher BAC levels than any other class, and sophomores finished second. Contrary to the neo-prohibitionist rhetoric and policies that inundate university administration, there is such a thing as responsible drinking.

At the very least, the situation on the ground demands a reconsideration of the current drinking-age regime. The university is ostensibly founded on the spirit of free inquiry based on facts, and there is no reason that it should put the blinders on for an issue that affects the majority of its students.

Enter the Get REAL Initiative (http://tr.im/getrealcr). Courtesy of the non-profit Choose Responsibility, this project encourages student government leaders to do three things:“to recognize the intended and unintended consequences of Legal Age 21; to acknowledge that 18-20 year-olds are adults in all respects but one (i.e. the ability to purchase/ consume alcohol); and to consider alternatives to Legal Age 21 that will create a safer environment on college campuses, and better prepare young adults to make responsible decisions about alcohol use.”

Based on the Amethyst Initiative (which was aimed at college presidents), this modest pledge similarly does not require student body presidents to take any formal stand on what the drinking age should be. It simply wants these leaders to be open to conversation.

Last year, UA President Robert Shelton showed his true prohibitionist colors when he refused to sign the Amethyst Initiative. Will our student leaders do any better?

The bread in the picture looks burned, the cheese above the eggs are melted, and the meat is shining with grease. This may taste good for a few minutes, but the after effects can be troubling. Remember the scene in“Super Size Me”where the main character eats a lot of fast food, indulges in the temporary good taste and then pukes? I can predict the same thing happening to most healthy eaters who come across this wrap and breakfast menu.

VOTING

continued from page 1

City council elections, propositions’ importance questioned

vote on Proposition 200.

“On most things I will say ‘keep taxes lower’ but most of the research I’ve done on 200 has said the proposition isn’t going to be funded by tax dollars, it’s going to be funded by other projects we’re going to take money from, such as Rio Nuevo (a plan to revitalize downtown),” he said. “I worked as a firefighter over the summer, so I have a bias right there. I feel firefighters in Tucson are underpaid.”

McKenzie said it’s important for UA students to vote because the election will affect everyone.

“The Tucson City Council is deciding where this money is going,” he said.“If we pass these propositions that’s where our tax dollars are going, so it affects everyone.”

Both organizations have been getting the word out by making calls to encourage people to vote and reaching out to individual candidates.

UA Public Health graduate student and registered Democrat Alex Gutierrez said overall he’s “not interested” in any of the candidates running in today’s election.

“I’m kind of disappointed in the candidates but don’t see any real change offered by the challengers,” he said.

Gutierrez said his main focus tomorrow is voting “no” on Proposition 200.

“We’re already cutting funding in public health and education so we’re going to have to cut it even more,” he said. “The proposition doesn’t offer money, it says ‘find it somewhere else,’ and the only way we’re going to be able to fund it is by cutting programs or raising taxes.”

UA mechanical engineering senior and registered Republican James Vaughn said while all elections are important, he thinks presidential elections are more important in the grand scheme of things.

“Presidential elections play an important (role) in deciding how much funding cities get so city officials decide how to spend it,” he said.

However, UA agricultural economics junior and registered Republican Chelsea Schlittenhart said she thinks city elections are just as important as presidential elections.

“They’re definitely not less important than presidential elections,” she said. “City elections have more of an impact on daily life.”

Other students had no idea there was an election today.

“I’ve been busy with school,” said UA physiology junior David Stevens. “But I think every vote counts and city elections are more important (than presidential elections) because they affect you more.”

Cocaine, cash, vehicles seized in Tucson raid THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TUCSON — The FBI says a raid at a Tucson RV storage facility has resulted in the seizure of 68 kilograms of cocaine, $480,000 in cash and several vehicles.

The FBI received reports of possible, illegal drug activity taking place at the storage facility near Interstate 10 and Prince Road and set up surveillance.

On Saturday night, several vehicles

were seen entering the facility after normal business hours.

Agents approached the vehicles to investigate and found abandoned vehicles with engines running inside the fenced lot. They also discovered hidden compartments in two sport utility vehicles and a big rig.

The FBI says the cocaine was in 68 kilo-sized bricks and 35 bundles of U.S. currency were wrapped in black plastic.

POLICEBEAT

By Michael Merriman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Actual vandalism, not chalk

University of Arizona Police Department Officers were near Main Gate Parking Garage on Oct. 25 when they discovered criminal damage on the third level. According to police, unknown person or persons used red paint to write “JFK� and “PRAER� on a wall on the northwest side of the structure. Facilities Management was notified of the graffiti. Police have no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Facebook friend sends angry, sexual messages

UAPD officers interviewed a woman on Oct. 27 at 2:05 p.m. in reference to a report of unwelcome messages on her Facebook account.

According to police, the woman claimed that starting on Oct. 9, she had received a message from a man telling her that she was one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen. The man invited her to start a conversation with him, adding that he thought the two would hit it off. The woman did not respond.

The man sent another message on Oct. 14 and apologized for being “random.� The man then complimented the woman again and mentioned being acquainted with several friends from her photographs. The woman responded this time, asking the man what fraternity he was in. The man later told the woman he was a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity and the university swimming team. He gave the woman his phone number and invited her to text him.

The woman told police the messages did not bother her at first, but she later received a message that the man had sent her in which he insulted her with various sexual references and explitives. The woman blocked the man’s number and since then, has not received any other texts from him.

She told police that she did receive a Facebook message on Oct. 16 from a new account that she believed the man created. The message was titled “slut� and in it, the man accused the woman of promiscuous behavior. The woman then became concerned for her safety and notified police.

A records check revealed that the man was not on the swimming team. Police called the telephone number the woman had given them and a man answered. Officers identified themselves and the man immediately hung up. Police were unable to make any further contact with the man.

‘Everybody hates you’

UAPD officers were dispatched to the Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall on Oct. 26 at 7:10 p.m. in reference to a welfare check. Upon arrival, officers met with the resident assistant on duty and a resident of the dorm who reported being harassed.

According to the woman, for the past 3 months, her neighbor had been harassing her. The harassment began shortly after the woman made a complaint about noise violations coming from her neighbor’s room. The neighbor had been knocking on the woman’s door at all hours of the day and had made comments such as “everybody hates you,�“you’re so stupid,� and “I wish you would leave.�

The RA on duty told police that the neighbor had denied harassing the woman. Police warned the neighbor about harassing the woman. The woman being harassed told police that she did not want to press charges.

Smoking the evidence

UAPD officers responded to the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall on Oct. 27 at 7:31 p.m. in reference to the odor of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. Upon arrival, police met with an RA who stated that while performing an hourly check of the hall, the odor of marijuana was detected.

The RA led police to a room on the seventh floor. According to police, the odor became more intense as they approached the suspected room. Police knocked on the door and made contact with a female resident who invited officers inside. Officers told the woman why they were there and asked if there were any illegal drugs in the room. The woman replied that there were and produced a small purse from a desk drawer. The purse contained a pipe that had burnt marijuana residue in it. The woman claimed not to have any more marijuana in the room and consented to a search.

Police placed the pipe into evidence and referred the incident to the Dean of Students Office.

Tsvao lions ate fewer humans than believed, study says

By Kim Janssen Chicago Tribune CHICAGO — For more than 80 years, the man-eating Tsavo Lions have been one of Chicago’s Field Museum’s top tourist draws.

Now a study released Monday suggests the Tsavo Lions’ unusual taste for human flesh may have been exaggerated.

According to the man who finally caught them in 1898, the pair of maneless Kenyan lions munched their way through as many as 135 people before they were shot, skinned and sold to Chicago, where they were stuffed by taxidermists and put on display.

The story of how they preyed on a terrified camp of imperial British railroad workers for nine months captivated museumgoers for decades and even inspired a 1996 movie starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer, “The Ghost and the Darkness.” But after using advanced techniques to analyze fragments of the lions’ bones and fur, scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz have determined the true number of humans eaten by the lions was likely closer to 35.

By comparing isotopes in the lions’ samples with their more normal prey of zebra, wildebeest and buffalo, with other lions, and with the remains of 19th

century Kenyans, the scientists were able to estimate one of the lions ate 24 humans, while the other ate just 11.

“The possible range is between four and 72 humans, but 35 is most likely,” said Justin Yeakel, one of the study’s authors.

Why the lions took the risk of targeting people is unclear, but changes to the Tsavo environment that affected their traditional prey likely are responsible, Yeakel said. Previous studies have suggested lions developed a taste for human flesh because they lived near a slave trade route, and that one of the lions may have suffered from toothache that made it easier to eat people than its typical diet.

The numbers killed have been disputed since the lions were shot

by Col. John H. Patterson, a British engineer who went on to write a best-selling book about their reign of terror that won praise from President Theodore Roosevelt.

Patterson, a celebrity in his time, claimed in his 1907 book that “28 railroad workers and scores of unfortunate Africans” had been killed.

But after selling the lion’s skins to the Field Museum for $5,000 in 1924, Patterson, short of cash and perhaps attempting to boost his reputation, wrote a pamphlet claiming 135 dead.

In recent years, the Field Museum itself has come to

rely on the higher figure, also, though an audio tour it offers fudges the issue by stating “legend has it they killed and ate over 100 people.”

“It’s remarkable how the myth has grown,” said Roosevelt University professor Julian Kerbis, who has studied Patterson’s diaries.

Field Museum staff now plan to update signage at the exhibit, spokeswoman Nancy O’Shea said.

“Anybody who studied the historical records retained some skepticism,” said Bruce Patterson, the Field Museum’s curator of mammals (and no relation to the Col.) who assisted with the study.

Though the study does diminish the total number killed, it doesn’t affect the reason for the Tsavo Lions’ notoriety, Bruce Patterson said.

Lions in southern Tanzania in the 1940s ate more than 1,200 people and individual tigers and leopards in colonial India ate hundreds, he said.

“The signal feat of the Tsavo Lions is that they stopped the British Empire, at the height of its imperial power, literally in its tracks at Tsavo, and it was not until Col. Patterson dispatched them that work on the railway could resume.”

Also unchanged, Bruce Patterson added, is the “morbid fascination in considering the business end of an animal that can kill and eat you in seconds.”

Supreme Court seeks White House views on hiring undocumented immigrants

By Michael Doyle McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will enter the politically tricky immigration arena, courtesy of the Supreme Court.

On Monday, the court asked the administration for its view in a challenge to an Arizona law that punishes companies for hiring illegal immigrants. Other states with large immigrant populations will watch the next steps closely, because their own laws and ballot measures could be on the line.

“This case involves a question of exceptional national importance: whether

state legislatures and municipal governments may override Congress’ judgment concerning United States immigration policy,” attorney Carter Phillips wrote in a legal brief.

Phillips noted that “in the first three months of 2009 alone, over 1,000 immigration-related bills and resolutions were introduced, in all 50 states” and “at least 150 of these bills related specifically to employment.” He called the result“a cacophony.”

A famed Supreme Court litigator, Phillips represents the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The business group is challenging the Arizona law as part of a

coalition of corporate, labor and immigrant groups that range from the American Civil Liberties Union to the Arizona Farm Bureau Federation.

The challenged law, written in 2006, allows private complaints to be filed against employers.

Those found to have “knowingly or intentionally” hired illegal immigrants could have their Arizona state business licenses suspended or revoked.

The law“reflects rising frustration with the United States Congress’ failure to enact comprehensive immigration reform,” the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a ruling that upheld the law.

Welcome to Assistant Coach U COMMENTARY BY Lance Madden sports writer

I

f you want to be part of an institution that sends robots to Mars or point guards to the NBA, the UA might be for you.

But aside from former head coach Lute Olson, who sent those great guards to the next level?

During the quarter-century as head coach of the Arizona men’s basketball team, Olson built a legacy that became known, if only by nickname, as Point Guard U. Steve Kerr, Jason Terry and Mike Bibby are just a few examples from the past point guard sensations.

Senior Nic Wise, who played for Olson his freshman season, is the current Point Guard U representative.

But Point Guard U is also Assistant Coach U. Olson coached guards to do well in McKale Center, and to do even better at the next level. But something that is often overlooked is the fact that many assistant coaches have done the same thing under Olson: Learn from the experienced “Silver Fox,” then go on and move up the ladder of success in the basketball world.

Let’s take a look at some of Olson’s past assistant coaches, and what they’re doing as the 2009-10 season begins: • Kevin O’Neill. UA assistant coach from 1986-89 and the Wildcats’ interim head coach in 2007-08; currently head coach at USC. • Russ Pennell. Hired to be Olson’s assistant before Olson’s retirement, then became the interim head coach in 2008-09; currently head coach at Grand Canyon University.

• Mike Dunlap. Appointed Olson’s associate head coach before Olson retired prior to last season; currently the associate head coach at Oregon.

• Reggie Geary. A former player under Olson, he had an eight-year

pro career, handled UA basketball operations in 2005-06 and was the head coach of the Anaheim Arsenal D-League team before becoming a UA assistant coach last season; currently an assistant coach at Southern Methodist University in Texas.

• Matt Brase. Olson’s grandson was a UA player from 2003-05, then worked as an administrative assistant and video coordinator before becoming an assistant coach for Pennell; currently an assistant coach for Pennell at GCU. • Josh Pastner. Olson’s most famous walk-on was Arizona’s lead

recruiter from 2002-2008; currently the head coach at Memphis.

• Miles Simon. The Most Outstanding Player of the Wildcats’lone national championship in 1997, Simon became an assistant coach under Olson before volunteering as a coach for his high school, Mater Dei Academy; currently a Pacific 10 Conference broadcaster for Fox Sports Network.

• Jim Rosborough. Olson’s recruiter for nine years at Iowa, and was with the Wildcat staff from 19892007; currently the associate head coach at Pima Community College.

• Jack Murphy. Spent eight years

as a UA team manager, recruiting coordinator, administrative assistant and video coordinator from 19982006 before becoming an advanced scout for the NBA’s Denver Nuggets for three years; currently an assistant coach under Pastner at Memphis.

Of all the scenarios surrounding starting lineups and rotations that UA’s basketball head coach Sean Miller must dissect, Jamelle Horne is trying to fill a void beyond the arc.

“Not so much trying to, that is part of my game,” Horne said.

Horne, who went 1-for-4 from 3-point range in Sunday’s Red-Blue scrimmage, could be turned to as a threat after Arizona’s two key shooters, Zane Johnson and Chase Budinger, left the team.

The Wildcats designed plays to taylor ex-Wildcat Johnson’s 3-point shooting specialty. Johnson transferred to Hawaii in the offseason after he shot nearly 40 percent last season.

The same can be said for Budinger.

The junior-gone-pro also shot nearly 40 percent from his team-high 168 attempts last season.

“One of the things I’ve talked a lot to Jamelle about is becoming a well-rounded player,” Miller said. “I have no doubt that, like with a lot of our young players, you’re going to see Jamelle improve immediately from where he is today through the course of the season, because he has a really good attitude right now and I think he’s really talented as a player.”

UA senior point guard Nic Wise led the team last year with 41 percent as the third component to Arizona’s outside game, keeping the opposing defense honest and spread.

Practice The mindset of a championship team boding well for football Rubio says team has to mature before it can compete with the best

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Since first appearing in the rankings three weeks ago, Arizona has done nothing but move up in both the BCS and AP national polls. With a bye week this past weekend, the Wildcats approached the extra week of practice with a new sense of urgency and a new attitude — a winning attitude.

“I thought we had a really productive week, last week,” head coach Mike Stoops said on Monday during his weekly press conference.“Getting some good practice time and working with our younger players and getting healthier was important. I thought it was a productive week all the way around.”

The Wildcats used the time to run their offense with younger players getting more reps, giving them an opportunity to get more familiar with the system for the future and in case injuries continue to pile up for the first-team guys.

When the starters were getting their reps, though, the focus was simple: get better.

“It’s about us playing well and continually improving as the season goes on,” Stoops said of his team’s mentality last week. “I don’t think we’ve played a real complete game (yet this season), so we have to improve on a lot of areas on both sides of the ball.

You have to continually work to get yourself in a position to win.”

As anxious to win as the team is, the players and coaches are itching to just get back on the field for a real game.

“After byes the kids are anxious to FOOTBALL, page 9

What takes a team to the next level, separating the champions from the contenders?

How does a team go beyong simply competing? These are the ideas that head coach Dave Rubio proposed to the Arizona volleyball team after the loss to then-No. 5 Washington Huskies at home.

Arizona volleyball took the opening set from the Huskies 25-18, but a number of errors, poor serve-receive and firstcontact balls contributed to the Wildcats struggles during the rest of the match.

The 3-1 loss to Washington was Arizona’s second home loss of the season.

“We were digging balls, but we weren’t executing well because we were so worried about everything aside from the one thing we had to focus on at specific moments,” said junior Paige Weber.

Rubio has always held that defending the home court was essential to staying competitive in the Pacific 10 Conference, but after the showing the Wildcats put on Friday night, the team’s demeanor was described in one word — defeated.

“The loss isn’t what I’m looking at. I’m looking at the behavior that goes with the loss,” Rubio said about Arizona’s attitude after Friday’s loss.

“We’ve lost now to four different teams.

The reason that we lost wasn’t because they were better than us, it was because we ended up beating ourselves.”

While this is one of the Wildcats’ more veteran teams, after Friday’s match, Rubio was very insistent that Arizona had a long way to go in terms of emotional and mental maturity. He emphasized that what the team needed to work on now was making mental adjustments.

“Even as a great team, eventually, you understand that there’s no consolation to getting close,” Rubio said.

“Right now against a really good team, which the problem is, in our conference, every team is good … we have some growing up to do.”

“We need to decide quickly on if we’re going to take that step to the next level and that has to come from the attitude,”Rubio continued.“The attitude will help us execute at a higher level, a more consistent level.”

That level of consistency is something that has eluded the Wildcats all season.

After Pac-10 play started, the Wildcats’ record has been on a roller coaster.

As they head away from McKale again this weekend, the dread of playing on the road looms over Arizona team. The last time the Wildcats lost at home, and then headed on the road, they were swept 3-0 in two consecutive matches.

“The slightest advantage can turn the table,” said senior Jacy Norton. “I think as a whole too, it’s not just an individual thing, we need to have confidence in ourselves as a team.”

Given Arizona’s road record the past two years, nothing is guaranteed. The question now for the No. 18 ranked Wildcats: How far can Arizona evolve with less than a month before the conference season ends?

“We’re shooting ourselves in the foot a lot. Honestly, that’s what we’re going to be worrying about,” Weber said. “It’s going to be us focusing on us and playing well on our side of the net. You can’t help what the other team does, you can help what you do to stop the other team.”

In order to become the elite team that Arizona has worked toward all season, it will have to not only work to in psychically imposing team, but also one that can mentally handle the challenges of playing in the competitive Pac-10.

“When things get bad, you want to get upset, that’s human nature,” Weber said. “But in sports when things get bad, you can’t get

frustrated because then that just compounds the problem.”

To achieve their goal of making the postseason for the first time since 2005, Arizona will have to hang tough mentally. Their mindset when things get rough has to be the focus of practice.

“There comes a point where

you want the easy road to win or be successful. Are you willing to work and deserve it to be a great team? They’ve done that,” Rubio said. “Now the question is ‘Do they believe in themselves?’ That’s the biggest thing. ‘Do they believe that they’re a great team?’ That’s what they have to overcome.”

Sherlyn Popelka

By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat

Seventeen-year-old freshman UA women’s golfer Sherlyn Popelka made her presence felt in the golf world last week as she led the UA women’s golf team to their first team win in six years at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown in Boulder City, Nev. In only her third collegiate start, the highly recruited Zurich, Switzerland, native took home the individual honors by way of a 209, 7-under-par. The Arizona Daily Wildcat caught up with Popelka to talk about her tournament victory, her love for the Titanic and favorite tunes.

Daily Wildcat: How exciting was it to get a tournament victory in only your third collegiate event?

Sherlyn Popelka: Oh it was so exciting, I was really excited. All of my friends and family back home know and they all had time to call and tell me, so I’m just really excited. It’s a good way to end the fall season.

DW: It was the team’s first win in six years, how special was it to be a part of that?

SP: That was probably the most amazing part because, I mean, we were there as a team and for everyone to have played so well and for us to win, it was just so cool, really cool.

DW: Obviously you played really well, was there anything you did differently to prepare for this tournament?

SP: Not really, we had just came back from Stanford so we didn’t have that much time to prepare anything more.

So it was just going in with a positive mindset, I think.

DW: I know you trained at the Annika Sorenstam Academy and actually have the same swing coach and conditioning coach as her. How is your relationship with Annika?

SP: Well I mean I don’t know her that well personally, she pops in and out of the academy from time to time but Henry and Kai, my coaches, they both know (about the tournament win) and they’re really excited. They are just happy for me, and we keep in touch.

DW: How was your experience at the Academy?

SP: It was great, I love it. Because it’s like a small-home feeling, everyone knows each other and it’s just a good environment to improve in.

DW: How much do you think that helped your game?

SP: Tremendously. I feel like over the past two years that I was there I’ve made the most progress in my game.

DW: Do you have any pre-tournament rituals?

SP: Not really, but when I play I have a couple of things. Like I always use Swiss 1-frank coin and it always has to be heads side up when I mark my ball. That’s like the one superstition I have because I don’t really believe in superstitions, but that’s the one I have.

DW: I know you’ve traveled pretty much all over playing golf, what is the favorite place you have been?

SP: Hmm, I don’t know. Probably my mom’s home country, the Maldives (island in the Indian ocean). I mean it’s not big on golf at all, but all of my family is there and my mom is from there and stuff.

DW: What is your favorite movie?

SP: Titanic. I love it, ever since I first saw it, I just love it.

DW: Favorite food?

SP: Hmmm, probably Vietnamese food. I just like the exotic curries and stuff because I grew up eating that with my mom.

DW: Who is your favorite professional golfer?

SP: Annika (Sorenstam).

DW: If you were not golfing, you would be …

SP: I don’t know I never really thought about that. I probably would be doing some kind of other sport, like when I was younger, I did ballet and figure skating so maybe I would have stuck with that.

DW: What do you like most about Arizona or the U of A so far?

SP: I like the mountains because they remind me of home and the good weather.

DW: What are your goals for when you guys get back out on the course?

SP: Hopefully, we can all continue playing the way we are playing right now and win some more. I think just go in and contribute to the team and keep playing well for the spring season.

get out and play,” Stoops said.“I think the anxiety builds as you watch other teams play. I’d rather be playing, and you want to get out and just play.”

Injuries: running backs questionable, Reed back

Getting the younger players some reps might turn out to be more critical than Stoops had hoped. Running backs Nic Grigsby and Greg Nwoko have been hampered by shoulder injuries and Keola Antolin has been fighting an ankle injury.

“The backs are getting healthier,” Stoops said after running through an injury report.

“I don’t know their availability, but (Grigsby and Nwoko) will be very questionable this week. Greg is probably more available than Nic. Keola is healthy and that’s good for us.”

If Grigsby and Nwoko can’t go or are limited, expect Antolin to take the bulk of the carries and senior Nick Booth to spell him in certain situations.

In terms of running backs, expect freshmen Daniel Jenkins and Taimi Tutogi to make an impact.

“We will continue to develop Daniel Jenkins and we’ve looked at possibly Taimi at some running back and short yardage goal line situations,” Stoops said.

Tutogi, an H-back, could contribute as a runner since he played running back in high school. Jenkins, a freshman that is currently redshirting, was a four-star recruit according to rivals.com.

But while the offense is struggling to stay healthy, the defense is getting healthier.

The unit will receive a huge boost this week thanks to the return of defensive end Brooks Reed from an ankle injury.

“Getting Brooks back this week will definitely improve our defensive position and our ability to rush off the edge, which is something consistently that he gives you every time he steps on the field,”Stoops said.

Top 25 fever

Tucson has been abuzz about its football team now that it’s ranked in every major national poll, but Stoops has preached to his players to stay focused and ignore the hoopla. It’s pretty hard to avoid, though.

“You get to go across the ESPN ticket and see your name and your scores,”Stoops joked.“I think our kids take pride in it and want to stay there. We don’t want to be a one shot wonder.

“We’ve played some awfully good football the last two years, and you want to build a consistent top-20 or top-25 program, and that’s something you want to take pride in and something we want to establish here.”

Pac-10 Power Rankings The top spot in the Pacific 10 Conference was made more than clear this weekend after Oregon pounded USC. The conference is now the Ducks’ to lose, but there are still several teams with plenty to play for. Fun fact: the Pac-10 was rated the best conference in the country by the Sagarin ratings.

1. Oregon (7-1, 5-0 Pac-10) Last week: No. 1a

Wow, just wow. Their 47-20 win over USC was about as impressive a beat down you will ever see, and it was the exact statement that Oregon was hoping to make. The Ducks were not intimidated by the vaunted Trojan defense and simply ran wild on them.

They’ve been dominant against the conference this season — allowing just 58 points scored — and should beat Stanford and Arizona State in the next two weeks in preparation for their final test of the year when they travel to Tucson to take on Arizona.

2. Arizona (5-2, 3-1 Pac-10) Last Week: No. 3

The Wildcats are now in sole possession

BASKETBALL continued from page 8

of second place in the Pac-10. The bye week was helpful because defensive end Brooks Reed is expected to be completely recovered from his ankle injury, but it needs to get healthier at the running back position. Arizona has its last“easy win”this weekend against Washington State, but check this out — if UA wins its last five games, it will be in the Rose Bowl.

proved that the Bears are still very flawed and don’t belong in the “elite” portion of the conference. But three wins in a row is impressive, even if it is against the Pac-10’s three worst teams. Cal takes on Oregon State this week, which is no easy task, and the loser of that game will likely remove itself from any conversations about winning the Pac-10.

combined for 2,205 yards rushing and receiving and 21 touchdowns. Oregon State has a few too many holes to be an elite team, but with those two on offense the Beavers can beat any team on any given Saturday.

3. USC (6-2, 3-2 Pac-10) Last Week: No. 1b

5. Stanford (5-3, 4-2 Pac-10) Last Week: No. 4

ASU has the same problem as Stanford — it plays Cal, Oregon and USC in a span of three weeks. The Sun Devils almost upset the Golden Bears this past weekend, but ultimately dropped the most winnable game of the three. The way it’s shaping up now, ASU would have to beat Arizona in its final game in order to make a bowl. Can the Wildcats keep the rival Sun Devils out of the postseason for the second straight year?

The team that lost to Oregon on Saturday was not the USC team that Pac-10 fans have been so used to seeing. To put it simply, it was the worst loss of Pete Carroll’s career at USC. In his 16 previous losses, the Trojans lost each game by an average of 4.3 points and only lost by double digits one time in 2001. USC can still win the conference, but this embarrassment — over 600 yards allowed — will certainly be a very tough pill to swallow.

4. California (6-2, 3-2 Pac-10) Last Week: No. 5

A shaky performance against ASU

The bye week was nice, but hopefully the Cardinal didn’t spend too much time resting. Stanford, just one win away from bowl eligibility, hosts red-hot Oregon this weekend and then travels to USC the next, followed by California and then Notre Dame. A 5-3 record looks pretty good right now, but they could easily finish 5-7.

6. OSU (5-3, 3-2 Pac-10) Last Week: No. 6

Not enough can be said about just how good the Rodgers brothers are. Both James and Jacquizz have

Lavender, Horne get more shots

Wise is all-but-guaranteed the starting point guard position, coming off a season where he averaged 15.7 points per game.

After Wise, it’s anybody’s game in the backcourt depth chart. While Miller hasn’t offered much insight into rotations or rolls this early on, the first-year coach has brought up UA guard Brendon Lavender as a player showing much improvement throughout the offseason.

Last season, ex-coach Russ Pennell hardly used Lavender but said shooting was his game’s biggest asset.

Lavender only averaged 4.7 minutes per game and went 1-for-7 from beyond the arc.

Already in the Red-Blue scrimmage, the sophomore went 3-for-6 from 3-point range and scored 13 points.

“It was the hardest offseason I’ve ever worked,” Lavender said at Media Day. “I learned a lot from last year. I learned a lot of fundamentals, what it takes to play in a college-level game.”

“I wish I could’ve broke out last year, and I’m not going to say I’m breaking out this year, but I hope to play and help out my team.”

8. Washington (3-5, 2-3 Pac-10) Last Week: No. 8

Just a short 4 mile drive to the University Of Arizona campus

9. UCLA (3-5, 0-5 Pac-10) Last Week: No. 9

So it’s pretty clear at this point that UCLA really doesn’t have anything on offense. It’s no longer “What are Rick Neuheisel and Norm Chow doing?” but rather, “When will they find the missing offensive pieces?” Losing five straight conference games really stinks, especially after beating Tennessee and Kansas State in weeks two and three, but the Bruins have never been blown out.

10. WSU (1-7, 0-5 Pac-10) Last Week: No. 10

Can anyone out there explain why Washington State’s game against Notre Dame was played in San Antonio, Texas?

By the numbers 2 — the position Wildcat football stands in the Pacific 10 Conference. They are currently ranked No. 18 in the BSC standings, No. 19 in the USA Today Coache’s poll, and No. 21 in the AP Top 25 poll.

make a bowl after all. To me, though, the thing to watch is whether or not head coach Steve Sarkisian can convince his quarterback Jake Locker to stay for his senior season.

Arizona’s women crosscountry point scorers finished under in the 6000-meter race at the 2009 Pac-10 Championships in Long Beach, Calif. This was the first time any of the five UA athletes broke the 21-minute mark.

The Arizona football team will host the Washington State Cougars at Arizona Stadium on Saturday.

Utley, Lee help Phils extend Series The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Put those parade plans on hold, New York. The Phillies are coming back.

Chase Utley hit two home runs to raise his World Series total to a record-tying five, backing Cliff Lee once again as Philadelphia staved off elimination with an 8-6 victory Monday night and set up a Game 6 for the first time since 2003.

Utley hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the first inning off A.J. Burnett and added a solo shot in the seventh to join Reggie Jackson as the only players to hit five home runs in a single World Series.

Philadelphia closed within three games to two by replicating its winning formula from the opener, when Utley hit two solo homers and Lee pitched a six-hitter. Raul Ibanez set off fireworks from the Liberty Bell one last time, adding a second solo shot in the seventh, off Phil Coke that made it 8-2.

Lee gave up a run-scoring single to Alex Rodriguez in the first inning but settled in until A-Rod chased him with a two-run double in the eighth. Robinson Cano drove in Rodriguez with a sacrifice fly, and New York gave Philadelphia a scare when Jorge Posada doubled and Hideki Matsui singled at the start of the ninth against Ryan Madson.

Derek Jeter hit into a run-scoring double play, Johnny Damon singled and Madson struck out slumping Mark Teixeira for the save.

The Yankees, who have won the Series all eight previous times they took a 3-1 lead, will try to close out title No. 27 on Wednesday night at home. Game 3 winner Andy Pettitte is expected to come back on three days’ rest and face Game 2 loser Pedro Martinez.

Pitching on short rest didn’t work well for Burnett, who had been 4-0 previously in his career on three days off and kept the Phillies off balance in Game 2. He kept falling behind batters and allowed six runs, four hits and four walks in two-plus innings, his shortest start since his first outing in 2007.

It marked the first time in 14 postseason games this year that a Yankees starter failed to pitch at least six innings.

In a matchup of starters from Arkansas, Lee allowed five runs and seven hits in seven-plus innings. He is 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in five postseason starts.

Philadelphia ended baseball’s record streak of five straight Series that ended in sweeps or five games, ensuring at least one more telecast in a matchup between big-market teams that has revived baseball’s ratings. The Phillies still face a tall task: The Yankees lost three in a row just twice after the All-Star break and dropped consecutive home games only once after mid-June.

Just 37 of 43 teams with 3-1 Series deficits have

gone on to win the title, including five in a row since Kansas City rallied past St. Louis in 1985.

But Pettitte and CC Sabathia, the Yankees’ Game 7 starter, will be pitching on short rest — Pettitte for the first time this year and Sabathia for the third time in the postseason.

If the Phillies come back to become the first NL team to win consecutive Series titles since the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds, Yankees manager Joe Girardi will be widely second-guessed for his pitching decisions. No Series champion has gone the entire postseason with just three starters since the 1991 Minnesota Twins — when there were just two rounds of playoffs.

New York, trying for its first title since 2000, still has strong memories from 2001, when the Yankees led Arizona three games to two before losing the final two games on the road. In 2003, the Yankees led Florida two games to one before losing three in a row.

New York will be without center fielder Melky Cabrera for the rest of the Series. Cabrera strained

his left hamstring in Game 4 and was replaced on the roster by backup infielder Ramiro Pena as Brett Gardner took over in center field.

Gardner went 0 for 4, and Teixeira dropped to .105 (2 for 19) in the Series with a 1-for-5 night.

Philadelphia received a scare when center fielder Shane Victorino was hit with a pitch while squaring to bunt in the first inning. Victorino repeatedly flexed his hand when he went to the outfield but remained in the game through seven innings and went 0 for 3 at the plate.

While the Phillies have outhomered the Yankees 10-5 in the Series, Ryan Howard is suffering a power outage. He went 0 for 2 with two walks and two strikeouts and is hitting .158 (3 for 19) with 12 strikeouts, tying the Series record set by Kansas City’s Willie Wilson in 1980.

New York scored in the first inning for the second straight game. Damon singled to left-center and came home when Rodriguez doubled into the right-field corner with two outs. It was his franchise record 16th RBI of the postseason.

It took just eight pitches for Burnett to give up the lead, giving Phillies fans reason to wave those white rally towels.

Jimmy Rollins singled up the middle on the sixth pitch of his at-bat and, with Rollins running, Victorino squared and was hit in the hand by a pitch. Utley put the next pitch into the right-field seats.

Burnett got in more trouble in the third, when he walked Utley and Ryan Howard, then gave up run-scoring singles to Jayson Werth and Raul Ibanez that put Philadelphia ahead 5-1 and finished Burnett’s night. Carlos Ruiz added an RBI grounder against David Robertson.

New York made it 6-2 in the fifth, helped by a strange decision by Howard. Pinch-hitter Eric Hinske — who homered for the Phillies in last year’s Series — walked with one out and took third on Jeter’s single. Damon hit a slow roller in front of first and Howard gloved it as Hinske held, then retreated to the bag for the putout as Hinske scored.

REDESIGN

continued from page 1 Leslie Eldenburg, vice dean of the Eller College of Management, addresses the Faculty Senate at its Monday meeting about the so-called Budget Redesign.

“It’s probably the most complicated, in-depth redesign of the university’s budget, ever,” Provost Meredith Hay said of the program.

Gordon Bates/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

Provost introduces future financial plan to Faculty Senate The meeting also featured updates from the presidents of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the Graduate and Professional Student Council.

GPSC President David Talenfeld presented the senate with the most recent version of the graduate student bill of rights and responsibilities and asked that the bill be included on the senate’s agenda for endorsement at its December meeting.

ASUA President Chris Nagata asked for and received the senate’s endorsement of a “Textbook Letter of Commitment,” an informal pledge to be signed by willing faculty members stipulating that they will agree to use textbooks for two consecutive years whenever possible to keep costs down for students.

Also presented at the meeting was a “Strategic Plan Scorecard,” developed by Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee Chair

Lynn Nadel. The scorecard, the first of its kind and compiled at the behest of Hay, is meant as a qualitative assessment of the university’s progress on its Strategic Plan, a broad layout of long-term goals.

“This is a first attempt at using the strategic plan the way it should be used,” Nadel said.

The scorecard includes detailed statistics on figures such as enrollment and retention rates, degree costs and endowment amounts, and compares these figures to averages from peer institutions.

What the numbers reveal, Nadel said, is that “we’re doing good at everything it doesn’t take a lot of money to do good at.”

Nadel said he plans to take the scorecard to the Arizona Board of Regents as a show of the state of the university.

“Part of the exercise here is for this to be a little bit of a reality check,” he said.
