Redshirt freshman Greg Nwoko gets wrapped up by Oregon defenders in Arizona’s 44-41 loss on Saturday at Arizona Stadium. Despite strong play on both sides of the ball, the Wildcats failed to stop Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli down the stretch and into two overtimes.

Wildcats doomed by late Oregon surge By Bobby Stover ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A disgustingly familiar feeling filled the Arizona football team’s locker room Saturday night. Once again the Wildcats’ players dealt with the pain of a game lost, which, at one point, had been all but won. With just more than three minutes remaining in the game, Arizona players and fans thought the team had overcome then-No. 11 Oregon (9-2, 7-1 Pacific 10 Conference) and kept its Rose Bowl hopes alive on what would be an emotional senior day. But before the celebration could begin, Ducks’ quarterback Jeremiah Masoli took advantage of a late Wildcats’ turnover and orchestrated

what would be a game-tying 15play, 80-yard drive, sending the game into overtime in which Masoli himself would hand Arizona the decisive blow. As the game began, the Wildcats’ offense appeared out of sync as their first five drives ended with four punts and a fumble on the goal line. Defensively, Arizona (6-4, 4-3 Pac-10) also struggled to take advantage of opportunities as it forced Masoli to fumble twice but failed on each occasion to corral the ball. Oregon, however, found ways to move the ball early and took a 14-0 advantage early in the second quarter.

A University of Oregon cheerleader spent Saturday night in the hospital after being hit in the head by a water bottle thrown onto the field shortly after the game. Senior Katelynn Johnson was standing with the Oregon team when someone sitting in the southwest section of Arizona Stadium threw a water bottle onto the field, said University of Arizona Police Katelynn Department Johnson spokesman Sgt. Juan University Alvarez. of Oregon “If anycheerleader one knows anything about this they can certainly call us,” Alvarez said. UAPD will search any available video footage of the southwest section of the stadium to try to find a suspect. Though a non-student fan was arrested earlier in the night for throwing objects onto the field, Alvarez did not report any other major incidents. ASUA did not respond to e-mails and calls regarding the incident before press time Sunday.

New fee to cover Bookstore looking to print its own books health and rec

Chris Schafer, faculty relations representative with UA BookStores, explains the operation of the printing press in the lower level of the UofA Bookstore last Thursday. In addition to being able to print books on demand, and books that are no longer in print through agreements with professors, the press will help the bookstore minimize its carbon footprint by printing locally and printing only the number of copies purchased.

A swarm of fans gathered on the UA Mall after having lined up since 4 a.m. to enter the staging area of ESPN’s “College GameDay.” Fans who were not let into the fenced-in area crowded around the stage, while others got a higher view from the upper levels of the Student Union Memorial Center.

The UofA Bookstore has a new machine that the staff hopes will make acquiring textbooks cheaper and more environmentally friendly. The bookstore received an Espresso Book Machine 2.0 from On Demand Books in October. Espresso means “something made to order, one at a time, at point of sale, quickly,” according to the company’s Web site. The UA was the second buyer of this machine in the United States, after the University of Missouri Bookstore. The machine can print, bind and cut paperback books. The press is made up of three components: a standard laser printer that produces the book block, or pages of the book, a cover printer that produces the cover of the book and the core unit that puts it all together. “The main reason we got it is because we’re hoping to try and be able to negotiate with publishing companies and be able to print textbooks at a lower cost,” said Chris Schafer, faculty relations representative with UA BookStores. Currently, Schafer is in negotiations with publishers, and the bookstore hopes to start printing a small number of textbooks with the machine next semester. Over time, he believes more titles will become available for bookstore

staff to print themselves. This can limit the environmental impact of obtaining textbooks, because the publisher does not have to ship the books to the bookstore, Schafer said. “The other cool thing about on-demand printing is it takes that guesswork out,” he said. “We don’t have to waste money on bringing in books that people won’t buy, and we don’t have to worry we’re going to run out of the books, because we can just make more if we need them.” To print a book, someone must first select the title from the computer. From there, the pages of the book feed into the core unit from one side, and the cover feeds in from the opposite side. Once all of the pages of the book have printed, the machine clamps them together and rotates them so the spine faces down toward the cover. Next, a cylinder with melted glue rolls down the spine, and the book block is clamped onto the cover to bind the book. Finally, the machine cuts the top, bottom and leading edge of the book to make it the correct size. All of the excess paper is recycled. “What you end up with is really, I think, a book that is indistinguishable from a book that was produced under traditional methods of publishing,”

By Will Ferguson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Campus Health Services and Campus Recreation are in the process of designing a service fee that would fund many of the operational costs of the 55,000 square foot addition to the Student Recreation Center and the salaries of both student employees and health professionals. In addition, if approved, the service fee would provide resources to enable the Rec Center to extend its hours until midnight. While an amount for the proposed fee has not been specified, Campus Recreation and Campus Health have assembled a student fee review committee to survey the student body and find out whether students would be willing to pay a set fee in order to keep existing services. “Right now there is just no money,” said Juliette Moore, director of Campus Recreation . “We
