Frosh diversity breaks record Wildcats

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Tuition increases and controversy over S.B. 1070 have not deterred the class of 2014. According to UA President Robert Shelton, the incoming freshman class is equal in size to previous years and more diverse than any class in UA history.

“The diversity of this class exceeds any prior class,”

Shelton said. “We’re very proud of the diversity of this incoming class.”

The incoming freshman class is the most diverse in UA history with 37 percent of students from minority backgrounds. This is a 3 percent increase from last year.

Class enrollment totals around 7,000 students, which is consistent with recent classes despite new tuition increases — 20 percent for in-state

undergraduate students and 10 percent for out-of-state undergraduate students — this semester.

“I actually learned that (tuition was raised) after I got accepted into the UA,” said linguistics freshman Rebecca Hynes , who is an in-state student.

Hynes said the change did not influence her decision.

“It was nice because I had gotten a full ride,”

Hynes said.

Many students compensated for the tuition increase with applying for increased financial aid and scholarships.

“It’s still a lot cheaper than the other schools I was considering,” said aerospace engineering freshman Sabrina Ball.

“But it made me strap down and apply for more scholarships.”

targeted with big welcome Target hosts UA-exclusive shopping event

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT On Friday night, UA freshmen were welcomed to the Wildcat family with an after-hours shopping event at Target.

The event, one of the UA’s Wildcat Welcome events for incoming freshman, began at 10:30 p.m. and ran until 12:30 a.m.

Target spokeswoman Tara Schlosser said that back-to-college events are generally held after hours in order to accommodate college students’ late-night habits.

Students were shuttled from the UA to Target on a free bus.

When students arrived, Target staff greeted them with free sodas, yelling “Go Wildcats.”

Target employees walked all around the store handing out free items such as Orbit gum and EVENTS, page A12

UA President Robert Shelton rolls a box of belongings to a new student’s dorm room in Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall on Thursday. Shelton’s annual tradition of lending his assistance during move-in helps welcome incoming freshmen to the UA.

Students and their parents moving into Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall were given a warm welcome and a helping hand from UA President Robert Shelton and Executive Vice President and Provost Meredith Hay as part of Wildcat Welcome.

“This is so much more fun than sitting in my office wearing a tie,” Shelton said.

Shelton and Hay were excited to begin helping as they waited for students to arrive.

“It’s a great day for me and I hope it will be a great day for all the students that move in,” Shelton said.

Parents and students were surprised to learn that Shelton was the person helping them schlep boxes up to the dorms.

“I think that’s terrific,” said parent Bob Alvarenga when asked what he thought about the president helping students with their move. “I didn’t realize he was the president of the university.”

Hay mingled with students and residence hall staff.

“It’s exciting. It’s always great when the freshmen move in,” Hay said. “I love meeting new families and the fresh new faces.”

Shelton and Hay, along with resident assistants, student volunteers and staff member volunteers helped everyone from students with small sedans to entire U-Hauls.

“It’s fascinating to see everything people bring to the residence halls,” Shelton said. “Lots of stuffed animals seem to show up.”

Student resident assistants were impressed with Shelton’s participation.

Yeakel’s fellow RA, elementary education senior Emily Emeott, said it showed that Shelton was a real person.

Emeott thought it was a great opportunity for students to get to know Shelton, especially since not every student gets the opportunity to meet him.

“I think it’s awesome for him to get involved,” said Joseph Pacini, an RA and history senior. “Move in is a big day for the whole campus.”

Shelton said he thinks the event is a good way to stay in touch

ASUA, GPSC team up for fall

: @DailyWildcat

There are two Emilys to get to know this year: Fritze and Connally. These two women are the faces of the undergraduate and graduate student bodies on campus.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the Graduate and Professional Student Council are two student governmental bodies — and both have big plans for the new year.

“We have a very good new senate class,” said Katherine Weingartner, executive vice president of ASUA and public management and policy junior. Six of the 10 senators are from Freshman Class Council, an effort by ASUA to get new students involved in student government early. “I’ve already received proposals (for senate projects) and booked rooms,” Weingartner said.

A student’s view on Beijing’s paradoxical identity

Traditional modernism

‘Eat, Pray, Love’ satisfies more in movie form

By Dallas Williamson Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Hutong-style street outside Qianmen bustles with afternoon activity. This area near the original gate to the city is becoming modernized as tourism increases.

C

hina is a much different place from what it was 20 years ago and the pipe dreams of overly romantic Westerners. I found that out this summer during a two-and-a-half month internship teaching English in Beijing.

I expected Beijing to be a completely modern city with high rises, suave sports cars and suits rushing from one subway to the next. And it is unargubly quite modern, but the metropolis also has its old ways.

Small electric rickshaws and bicycles carrying inordinate amounts of fruit or recyclable bottles can block an entire lane of traffic. Babies often don’t wear diapers, but instead walk around with slits in their pants to relieve themselves on the street with the help of their parents.

Street vendors and panhandlers take on the responsibility of our gas stations and dollar stores.

Beijing is a living anachronism. Yet its mixture of traditionalism and modern sensibility is an integral part of what makes the city so unique.

My favorite aspect of Beijing was undeniably a product of this happily paradoxical world: the arts scene. In the Communist-Bauhaus-turned-gallery-space called the 798 Art District, this modern/ traditional aesthetic was key to what made much of the art so powerful.

Captivating photos of the Great Leap Forward shared the same gallery space with a photo study of Buddhist monks, as well as views of an inner Mongolian family’s collection of appliances in the middle of the desert. Traditional Russian art was repainted with Chinese stylistic choices; Karl Marx

was invoked countless times.

Chinese art made clear something essential to understanding Beijing as more than just a developing city. Traditional values and practices are essential to Beijing’s identity — moreover, its charm.

Where else can you buy a brand-name soy latte on one side of the street and an octopus kebab with a slice of melon on the other? It’s the best of both worlds.

Coming back from a summer abroad, as many of you will doubtless attest, is also a very strange thing. I’m suddenly launched back into a world where I blend in, where there is a Starbucks on every corner and where the oldest buildings are about 90 years young. And while it’s good to be back, it would be nice to buy some popsicles on the side of the road to cool off.

With the memoir’s film adaptation premiering on Aug. 13, as well as the first day of school lingering just two weeks ahead, I decided it was as good of a time as any to try to get all my chakras aligned and see what all the buzz was about over Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2006 bestselling memoir, Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia and the 2010 movie it inspired.

So, what is my personal buzz about this memoir of self-discovery and recovery? Well, in a way I feel self-conscious and a little bit guilty for admitting this, but I was not as impressed as I had hoped. Honestly, I’m on the fence about Gilbert’s memoir. Did I like it? Well, it is more complicated than a simple yes-orno answer. I liked aspects of it — particularly those in the first and last sections. Did I hate it? No. In fact, I learned quite a bit.

For those of you who have not eaten, prayed and loved your way through the memoir, Gilbert’s narration chronicles her personal journey abroad, following a bitter divorce from her husband of eight years.

Overwhelmed with depression and haunted by guilt for abandoning her marriage, before finding her new whirlwind romance a cause for even more suffering, Gilbert finally decides that she has had enough and sets out to REVIEW, page A11

Gilbert’s story aided by acting, imagery

continued from page A10

rediscover herself. Leaving everything she owns behind in New York City, Gilbert divides her spiritual journey into three phases. First, Gilbert travels to Italy where she allows herself four months of complete pleasure — finally giving herself the time and permission to learn Italian, relax and, of course, eat. Next, she heads to her Guru’s ashram in India where she devotes six months to meditation and spiritual growth. Finally, Gilbert journeys to Bali where she spends her afternoons with medicine man who helps her live a balanced life.

Sounds enlightening, right? Well, it was some of the time.

Maybe I am too much a skeptic to truly appreciate the many spiritual epiphanies and realizations Gilbert describes in her book, but in many instances, I found myself raising a quizzical brow as she described herself writing a petition to God and envisioning Michael J. Fox signing his Hancock to the document. In that sense, I also found it extremely difficult to relate to — or even believe — many of Gilbert’s thoughts and experiences. While she wrote of attempting to find forgiveness and to control her thoughts at the Indian ashram, I was sadly struggling with keeping my mind from wandering from the words printed on the page. The Hallmark card-like advice and conversational tidbits sprinkled throughout also left me with doubts about her credibility. However, to Gilbert’s credit, I thoroughly enjoyed the wit with which she relays her experiences, as well as the parallels she draws between herself and the history and lore surrounding her travel destinations.

So what did I think of Hollywood’s take on Gilbert’s vision quest? Well, for one of the first times in my life, I liked the movie better than the book.

First of all, the movie has one major thing going for it that the book doesn’t. Yes, it’s Julia Roberts. As ravishing as always and flashing several of those thousand-watt smiles, Roberts delivers a Liz Gilbert who is both relatable and likeable. This aspect is enhanced by both Roberts’ engaging persona on screen, as well as the fact that the film occurs further outside the depth that is Gilbert’s buzzing and exhausting mind.

Thus, audiences are free to enjoy the incredible sights and splendors of each locale that Roberts’ character visits.

Another strength of the film, which is somewhat absent in the book, are the many stories and emotions surrounding the supporting characters who wander in and out of Gilbert’s life.

For instance, in her memoir, Gilbert’s depiction of her husband is vague and one-sided. However, the film creates a role for her husband (Billy Crudup), which garners much-needed empathy for both characters, and creates understanding previously lacking in the hearts of readers. In turn, rather than getting lost in Gilbert’s spiritual sputter while at the ashram, the film pulls at the emotional heart strings of its audience as Richard Jenkins brings to life the bold and straight-talking Richard from Texas.

The only strike against the movie: “Tinsel town” makes a surprisingly evident entrance in Gilbert’s stint in Bali. I couldn’t help but laugh at the tweaks in the plot made in order to sell the movie. Even circumstances surrounding Gilbert’s Bali romance was Hollywood-ified. For instance, while Javier Bardem delivers a touching and soulful portrayal of Gilbert’s Brazilian lover, Felipe, he certainly is not the strong and self-assured entrepreneur featured in the novel.

Still, walking out of the theater, I was left with a surprising feeling of satisfaction … as well as an unbelievably strong craving for pasta.

First-week tips:

UA officals advise students on easy success strategies

By Lucy Valencia Arizona Daily Wildcat Here are some tips for how to succeed at the UA:

Stay open

The college transition can be a major source of stress. Associate Director of Communications and Outreach Pam Obando is one of the staff from Residence Life that helps students make it through each year.

“Be open to new people and experiences,” Obando said. “In your residence halls, you can join your Hall Council or Residence Hall Association, which is a great way to get involved with your new hallmates.”

Leticia Soto-Delgadillo, an academic advisor and director at the Center for Exploratory Studies, suggests students be patient, have a plan and talk to their advisor.

Heating up

Getting acclimated to college life is hard enough, but the weather in Tucson doesn’t do UA students any favors with temperatures often reaching triple digits.

“Avoid sun exposure when it’s at its most intense, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.,” said Lee Ann Hamilton, assistant director of Health Promotion-Preventative Services. “Watch for signs of dehydration, which can be headaches, fatigue, heat cramps, nausea, dizziness, fainting.”

Hamilton said that campus safety experts cite staying hydrated, resting, keeping out of the sun during its most intense hours, and protecting your skin and eyes from UV rays as ways to adapt to Tucson’s blazing climate.

The UA SafeCats program encourages students to “carry water or juice with you and drink continuously. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which dehydrate the body.”

Relax

In addition to physical stresses exerted on

the body during the first few weeks back at school, students have to combat academic and social pressures.

“Everybody has stress, it’s how we respond to it that differentiates us,” Hamilton said.

To deal with academic stress, Hamilton suggests trying relaxation techniques and coping with stress in positive ways such as hanging out with friends and exercising, rather than resorting to drugs, alcohol, staying up late and other negative coping methods.

“Balancing your school and social life is a key component to avoiding stress. Make choices you can control, prioritize, and don’t stress out about things you can’t control,” Hamilton said.

Teacher’s pet

Obando also suggests communicating and developing a good relationship with your professors as ways to cope with the first few weeks at school.

“Meet your professors, introduce yourself to them, and develop good time management skills by planning ahead,” Obando said.

Some professors set aside extra time the first week for meeting with their new students. But getting to know your professor can be more of a challenge if you are taking an online class. “Students should come into the sessions that are offered so they can ask questions and learn the technology,” said Peter Waller associate professor in the Agricultural-Biosystems Engineering department who teaches online courses.

Despite this, Waller says most students taking online classes usually aren’t interested in face-to-face interaction, preferring to communicate through e-mail and discussions boards instead.

Waller also stresses the importance of spending an adequate amount of time dedicated to each class. “At least six hours a week per class is what a student should be applying to any college-level course.”

Rallies over mosque near ground zero get heated The Associated Press NEW YORK – The proposed mosque near ground zero drew hundreds of fever-pitch demonstrators Sunday, with opponents carrying signs associating Islam with blood, supporters shouting, “Say no to racist fear!” and American flags waving on both sides.

The two leaders of the construction project, meanwhile, defended their plans, though one suggested that organizers might eventually be willing to discuss an alternative site. The other, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, said during a Middle East trip that the attention generated by the project is actually positive and that he hopes it will bring greater understanding.

Around the corner from the cordoned-off old building that is to become a 13-story Islamic community center and mosque, police separated the two groups of demonstrators. There were no reports of physical clashes but there were some nose-to-nose confrontations, including a man and a woman screaming at each other across a barricade under a steady rain.

Opponents of the $100 million project two blocks from the World Trade Center site appeared to outnumber supporters.

Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” blared over loudspeakers as mosque opponents chanted, “No mosque, no way!”

Signs hoisted by dozens of protesters standing behind police barricades read “SHARIA” — using dripping, blood-red letters to describe Islam’s Shariah law, which governs the behavior of Muslims.

Steve Ayling, a 40-year-old Brooklyn plumber who carried his sign to a dry spot by an office building, said the people behind the mosque project are “the same people who took down the twin towers.”

Opponents demand that the mosque be moved farther from the site where more than 2,700 people were killed on Sept. 11, 2001. “They should put it in the Middle East,” Ayling said.

On a nearby sidewalk, police chased away a group that unfurled a banner with images of beating, stoning and other torture they said was committed by those who followed Islamic law.

A mannequin wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress, was mounted on one of two mock missiles that were part of an anti-mosque installation. One missile was inscribed with the words: “Again?

Freedom Targeted by Religion”; the oth-

er with “Obama: With a middle name Hussein. We understand. Bloomberg: What is your excuse?”

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has fiercely defended plans for the proposed mosque, saying that the right “to practice your religion was one of the real reasons America was founded.”

The mosque project is being led by Rauf and his wife, Daisy Khan, who insist the center will promote moderate Islam.

The dispute has sparked a national debate on religious freedom and American values and is becoming an issue on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections. Republicans have been critical of President Barack Obama’s stance: He has said the Muslims have the right to build the center at the site but has not commented on whether he thinks they should.

Rauf is in the middle of a Mideast trip funded by the U.S. State Department that is intended to promote religious tolerance.

He told a gathering Sunday at the U.S. ambassador’s residence in the Persian Gulf state of Bahrain that he took heart from the dispute over the mosque, saying “the fact we are getting this kind of attention is a sign of success.”

“It is my hope that people will understand more,” Rauf said without elaborating.

Democratic New York Gov. David Paterson has suggested that state land farther from ground zero be used for the center. Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, expressed some openness to that idea on ABC’s “This Week with Christiane Amanpour,” but said she would have to meet with the center’s other “stakeholders” first.

“We want to build bridges,” Khan said.

“We don’t want to create conflict, this is not where we were coming from. So, this is an opportunity for us to really turn this around and make this into something very, very positive. So we will meet, and we will do what is right for everyone.”

But Khan also said the angry reaction to the project “is like a metastasized antiSemitism.”

“It’s not even Islamophobia. It’s beyond Islamophobia,” she said. “It’s hate of Muslims.”

At the pro-mosque rally, staged a block away from opponents’ demonstration, several hundred people chanted, “Muslims are welcome here! We say no to racist fear!”

Local band Steff Koeppen and the Articles provided live music for the event from the back of the store.

“I honestly love the music. I feel like excited to shop because it’s a fresh start,” said Hannah Younesi, a speech language and hearing sciences freshman.

The event was exclusively for freshmen, though a CatCard was not required for entrance.

Schlosser said the event originated because Target wanted to make the home-to-dorm transition easier for students.

“Offering in-store, after-hours shopping events for freshmen is an opportunity for them to not only stock up on college essentials, but to meet new people during Welcome Week festivities on their campus,” Schlosser said.

In addition to free items around the store, each student received a gift bag as they exited.

“The fact that we’re in a real store and they have DJs and bands and free stuff, I’m even more excited for college now,” said psychology freshman Tidra Smith.

Pre-pharmacy freshmen Janelle Andriano said the event made her feel like she was truly independent.

“Especially because (your parents) aren’t breathing over your shoulder while you buy stuff,” Andriano said.

Students also had the chance to socialize on Saturday at the Residence Hall Association block party held on the Valentina Martinelli/Arizona Daily Wildcat Andy Cahoon, left, a theatre and philosophy senior, battles against Traci Sepp, a theatre sophomore, at Target’s Back to College event on Thursday. mall.

Students were able to take buses from the UA campus to Target for the one-night-only event.

“It’s a really big event every year and a lot of fun,” said Pam Obando, associate director of Residence Life communications and outreach.

Though the event was somewhat disrupted by rain, students still enjoyed the free food and the opportunity to meet new people.

“Anything with free food is awesome,” said nutritional sciences freshman Chelsea Wallace.

Stella Ruvalcaba, a psychology freshman, said she thought the atmosphere and the people were welcoming.

“The food was soggy, but it was fun,” said marine biology freshman Alexia Williams.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 23): Passions drive all your actions this year. Romance is definitely part of the picture, and so are intuition and just plain good luck. Your mind bounces from one idea to the next, sometimes without direction, but often you see subtle connections you’d missed before.

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Today is a 6 — The frantic pace continues today. All your insight is required if you’re to manage the needs of all the crew. Take care of others first.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20) — Today is a 6 — The direct path at work gets you nowhere now. Change your focus by five or 10 degrees and a new direction emerges. Be patient.

Gemini (May 21 to June 21) — Today is a 6 — Everyone’s bouncing off the walls with radical ideas. How much change can you incorporate and still remain on schedule?

Keep on task.

Cancer (June 22 to July 22) — Today is a 5 — Everyone in your household joins together to resolve a persistent issue. In fact, no one leaves until an agreement’s achieved. Peace reigns.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 — Wherever you find yourself today, dig deep and express your passions to others. You meet someone unusual who incites enthusiasm. Go with the flow.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — Accept someone else’s inspiration to motivate your work today. It doesn’t always have to be about you. Give them total credit.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — Exchange of ideas and emotional energy makes today’s work a lot more fun. Don’t hold back. Even a silly idea is worth listening to.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — Spread the work around by creating a priority list and allowing someone else to assign the tasks. That way, you play the good cop.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — By day’s end, something does get done. Early on, you wonder if the ideas will end off flying around and come to roost. Trust the process.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — You’re in and out of your own workspace throughout the day. You’re preparing a surprise that’s not ready to be revealed. Make sure it’s well hidden.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — Imagination runs away with you today. Your passion places you on a South Sea island or some other exotic locale. Take notes for a future trip.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Today is a 7 — Brighten everyone’s day with jokes that focus on human foibles. People love to laugh out loud. Choose unusual topics, and find the humor there.

Later, Walker lifted the stay on his decision effective Aug. 18, thus allowing same-sex marriages to be performed on that date.

Communication key in facing uncertain future

W

elcome back, you poor bastards.

All jesting aside, it’s pretty clear that the UA is in for a rough year — a year marked by painful tuition hikes; an ongoing and often unpopular “Transformation” process; and the looming fiscal doomsday, when federal stimulus dollars dry up and the state legislature fails, as usual, to offer any assistance. It’s easy to feel like a Looney Tunes character who has just sped off a cliff and, upon looking down, plummets into thin air.

The Daily Wildcat Perspectives staff hopes to act as one piece of the parachute the UA so desperately needs. We’ve set out to keep you informed and keep the powers that be honest. We’re here to serve you, the UA campus community, by focusing on the issues you care about. We want to get you riled up; we want to make you think; sometimes, we even want to make you laugh. We’ve vowed to bring you the highest quality commentary possible, and we hope that if we ever fall short of that goal, you’ll hold us accountable.

If that’s the Perspectives page’s syllabus, here’s your first homework assignment: get involved. We can’t hear you if you’re sitting at the back of the class mumbling inaudibly.

Speak up. Send us your thoughts online, on the phone, by snail mail or by carrier pigeon. Whatever it is, it’ll make us better.

We’re committed to devising new and more creative ways to interact with you, the reader, by featuring guest commentary, asking for your input on topics large and small, giving your letters and comments the limelight and expanding our multimedia presence. Whatever your preferred method of communication, we’ll reach you there.

Tweet, bark, cheep or howl, and we’ll respond in kind.

Our university faces uncertain times, but we cannot let our spirits flag. We must simply be stronger, louder, more involved and more committed. If you’ll let us, the Perspectives staff hopes to reach each and every one of you, hear what you want and need, and stand beside you to fight for it.

We’re in this together.

So truly, welcome back.

MAILBAG Judge misrepresents purpose of marriage in Proposition 8 ruling Openly-gay Chief Judge Vaughn Walker of the U.S. District Court, in Northern California’s decision to overturn the voter approved Proposition 8 that defines marriage as between one man and one woman in California, slices at the jugular of true democracy.

His 138-page ruling is nothing more than an exercise in rationalizing without thinking rationally. He bases his conclusion primarily on his ability to divine the “discriminatory intent” of California voters when casting their votes for Prop. 8 — leaving out the possibility of his own pre-conceived bias as a gay man.

Walker ’s ruling illustrates that he does not understand the essential public purpose of marriage, which is to attach mothers and fathers to their children and to one another. He replaces this public purpose with private purposes of adults’ feelings and desires.

It’s time to put a stop to judges who redefine our most fundamental social institutions and use liberal courts to obtain political goals they cannot obtain at the ballot box.

he Daily Wildcat has been a lot of things to a lot of people over the years. Campus watchdog, whistleblower, historian, packing material, emergency paper towel. No matter how you see it, you can always count on the Daily Wildcat being there for you.

Whether you are a fan or a critic, the Wildcat has been covering the UA campus since 1899. That means the Wildcat was around before almost any sports team on the campus, with the exceptions of football and track. If you want to put it in other terms, the Wildcat has been through two world

wars, the Great Depression, a recession, Prohibition and the ’60s, just to name a few landmarks.

Sure, the Wildcat has had its ups and downs over the decades, but it has always been there for you, the campus community, and — for better or worse — it will continue to be here long after you’re gone. Hopefully, you will always stay connected to UA through dailywildcat.com, the online hub for UA news. A little shameless self-promoting never hurt anyone.

In recent years, the Wildcat, like all newspapers, has been falling by the

wayside. Whether this is a result of our inability to change with the times or a side-effect of something bigger is inconsequential. What does matter is that I’m here to say, “To hell with that.”

The Wildcat’s job is too important to let it fade into irrelevance.

I’m going to be honest with you.

I’ve worked at the Daily Wildcat for two years now, and, until being hired as editor in chief, I never once read our mission statement. So, I’m pretty sure you haven’t either, but you should. Here, I’ll make it easy: “The mission of the Arizona Daily Wildcat is to be the most accurate, most thorough and most interesting source of news, sports and entertainment for the campus community.” It’s a lofty goal for a motley group of students.

Nearly impossible, some would say, but that’s our job and what we aim to deliver.

Whether you’re a freshman in

Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall, or one of the widely unknown groundskeepers that keep our campus green (however they work that magic) it’s our job to be accountable to you, to be entertaining for you and be attentive to your needs. So, that’s what we are going to do. If it’s interesting multimedia you’re looking for, keep an eye out for Daily Wildcat TV this semester on dailywildcat.com. If you want in-depth reporting on UA administration news, turn to our dedicated news staff. No matter what your particular news needs are, we promise we’ll be here to fill them.

And if you feel we aren’t fulfilling our duty to you as a reader, let us know.

Primary round-up

A5

Arizona voters from both ends of the political spectrum will cast their votes on Tuesday in their respective primary elections, choosing which candidates will go head-to-head in November. Daily Wildcat columnists sound off on the most interesting races to watch this primary season.

Democratic Senate primary to cull an already weak herd As John McCain buckles down in his own tough primary to once again be the Republican nominee for one of Arizona’s U.S. Senate seats, a hodgepodge of Democrats want to be the one to challenge him. Unfortunately for Arizona Democrats, even in this deeply anti-incumbent election cycle, not one of the candidates has what it takes to beat McCain, or even provide an exciting race.

Former Tucson City Councilman Rodney Glassman leads the four Democrats at the polls. Though he has run a cautious, glossy campaign, billing himself as a “coalition builder,” recent reports about his treatment of campaign workers have marred his reputation. A Phoenix New Times blogger reported Friday that several of his top staffers have fled the campaign. The blog cited Glassman’s quick temper and bullying as reasons for leaving.

The accusations are based on too many unnamed sources to be trusted, but where there’s smoke, there’s likely to be fire. Glassman also refuses to answer important questions about his own politics; most notably, he is the only Democratic candidate not to proclaim his support of gay marriage.

The field is rounded out by former Arizona Rep. Cathy Eden, whose calls for “can’t we all just get along” ring false in this bitterly partisan election cycle; labor leader and grassroots favorite Randy Parraz, who seems to have entered the race almost exclusively to combat S.B. 1070; and investigative

journalist John Dougherty, whose journalistic track record and clear stance on the issues are admirable, but whose personality and lack of charisma seem ill-suited for the U.S. Senate.

It’s rare that Arizona has a chance to topple McCain’s too-long Senate reign.

This could have been the year, but the Democratic Party appears to have been picking its own bellybutton lint rather than rounding up a potent, viable McCain challenger.

— Heather Price-Wright is the opinions editor. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Jesse Kelly’s blatant hypocrisy The 8th Congressional District election has proven itself to be one of the most vitriolic U.S. House races in the state of Arizona. As Gabrielle Giffords, who faces no primary opposition, prepares for what will surely be a highly contested general election, she can watch leisurely as the Republican primary candidates proceed to rip each other to shreds.

The latest bout of infighting broke out between Republican primary candidate Jonathan Paton and his opponent Jesse Kelly. Don Kelley Construction, Jesse Kelly’s family business, is said to have accepted millions of dollars’ worth of public works projects, many of which were partially funded through H.R. 1 federal stimulus dollars. Paton, seizing the opportunity to tarnish Kelly’s conservative credibility, has accused him of hypocrisy for deriding the use of stimulus dollars and then turning

around and profiting from them.

We’ve all heard the Republican antistimulus mantra and claims that H.R. 1 is destined to be a dismal failure that will indebt our grandchildren for eternity. Keep in mind that those who are making these claims are the same people who had no problems squandering billions of taxpayer dollars and compounding the federal deficit on the Iraq war. Now that we have a president and an administration actually investing American taxpayer dollars in America, Republicans are suddenly concerned with tightening federal purse strings. More sickening still is that those who are the most opposed to H.R. 1 are the first to accept federal stimulus money if it benefits them personally. Jesse Kelly seems to be a hypocrite, indeed.

hockey mom. All five of her endorsed candidates have lost and this Tuesday’s U.S. Senate Republican primary election in Arizona puts her record to the test once again.

Palin is backing maverick-mate John McCain against JD Hayworth. What makes this race even more interesting is the news that members of the trendy “Tea Party Coalition” have backed both candidates. Surely you must be shocked that a mob of unorganized people who don’t like to be called Republicans, yet share nearly identical political opinions, would lack uniformity. Endorsing both candidates makes the Tea Party’s endorsements as irrelevant as their entire “party.” But wait, there’s more!

The mudslinging we’ve seen between the two candidates has truly been interesting. McCain’s television ads have listed Hayworth “among the dumbest members of Congress,” and Hayworth has retorted by accusing McCain of lying when he denied supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Can McCain get all mavericky with the endorsement of his former running mate Sarah Palin? Or, will Hayworth pull it off and send another Palin pick home a loser? Even if you’re not into politics, you’ve got to appreciate this drama fest that, for all of us political nerds, rivals Lindsay Lohan vs. the criminal justice system.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer witnessed two men holding silver cans walking down the north side of Speedway Boulevard just west of Campbell Avenue on Aug. 17.

After the officer recognized the two 24-ounce cans as Steel Reserve beer, both men were told they would be cited for consuming alcohol in public.

“I used to be a welder, that’s why I like Steel Reserve,” one man said to the officer.

“Since I’m getting a ticket, I might as well drink it,” the other man said.

The two men were cited and released. The beer were emptied and properly disposed.

The officer stopped him at the UA Water Resource Center. After administering sobriety tests, the man admitted to having three cups of Budweiser before going to pick up a friend.

When asked to recite his ABCs, he stated, “I can barely say I’m straight backwards,” before correcting himself by saying, “I can barely say my ABCs backwards.”

The man was arrested for slight DUI and driving with a suspended license. His car was remanded to a mandatory 20-day impound.

UAPD officers responded to the UA Main Library in reference to a man drinking beer and playing poker at a computer on Aug. 17 at just after 6 p.m.

They noticed the man had a 24-ounce can of Steel Reserve beer.

The man had an exclusionary order from the UA and was placed under arrest before being transported and booked into Pima County Jail.

“I don’t know why I brought that beer into the library,” he said. “I know I’m not supposed to be on campus.”

Don’t mess with the UA Bookstore …

You’ll get caught

A UA student was arrested for misdemeanor shoplifting after trying to remove a UA 13-month planner and a Canon camera from the UA Bookstore at 4:38 p.m. on Aug. 18.

The student began, at a very fast pace, to explain how he thought he paid for the camera and that the planner had been mistakenly placed in his bag.

However, after changing the details of his story each time he repeated it, the events were viewed on videotape.

The student tugged at the glass case containing the cameras and with his left foot, opened the stock drawer and retrieved the camera. After giving his friend some notebooks to purchase for him, the $258.98 of extra merchandise was placed in the bag. The items were returned to the shelves after his arrest.

The Code of Conduct violation was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office after his release.

Hundreds of women rush to their new sorority houses on Bid Day

By Nicole Siegel ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT UA Greek Life celebrated the last day of summer with its annual Bid Day for women rushing sororities.

Each of the approximately 1,200 women sat in the Student Union Memorial Center, eagerly waiting the moment they could open their bids and see which sorority invited them to become a member.

The recruitment counselors kept them in suspense by putting on a show to reveal which houses the counselors are a part of — a secret kept through the whole process.

The show ended with each girl opening her bid envelope while screams filled the air.

“I was so excited to receive my bid for Gamma Phi Beta,” said Tori Zukowski, a retail and consumer sciences freshman. “I was super nervous because rushing is such a

long process.”

Potential new members spend six days going to the sorority houses on campus.

“The rush process was amazing,” said Bree Youngquist, a retail and consumer science freshman and pledge sister. “It was easy to choose a house because I instantly fell in love with Gamma Phi Beta.”

Zukowski added, “I am so excited to meet new people and I had a blast rushing. I would not do anything different at all. It was an amazing experience.”

After receiving their bids, the new sorority women ran down the stairs of the student union to members of the houses carrying large Greek letters.

Pandemonium surrounded Greek Row when hundreds of people greeted the new members with music, signs, water slides and matching T-shirts.

What lies ahead?

Summer gives hints to what the future holds

COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman

F

sports writer

or the Arizona men’s basketball program, head coach Sean Miller’s second year is essentially the first glimpse of what the future holds.

That’s because his first year was virtually a head-spinning, draining experience for the coaching staff — one that somehow managed to quickly string together an extremely impressive first recruiting class.

The Wildcats went 16-15 in the 2009-10 season, but failed to reach the postseason for the first time in 25 years, not including a NCAA-vacated postseason appearance in 2008 — more on that later.

Now, Miller and Co. have been hot on the recruiting trail for over a year, and the goal for the man that took over Hall of Famer Lute Olson’s seat is clear — find stability and the wins will come.

“I think right now the one common theme that should be prevalent in everything we do is just stability,” Miller said in a press release over the summer.

“We have a number of players who have done everything at least once before and when you come from the perspective of four coaches in four years, to me that is very meaningful.”

Here’s a breakdown of what transpired over the summer and how it might affect the outlook for the program moving forward.

Scrimmage, “Meet the Team” cancelled

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The scrimmage and “Meet the Team” autograph session was supposed to be a shining opportunity for the Arizona football team to conclude fall camp under the lights at Arizona Stadium.

Instead, some 3,500 fans were treated to a quick vision of the 2010 Wildcats as the scrimmage was canceled due to lightning just 25 plays in.

“I’m disappointed we didn’t finish the scrimmage,” said junior quarterback Nick Foles. “It’s always fun to come out here and play. It’s just fun being out here scrimmaging one another.”

The team played just under 10 minutes into the first quarter, exiting the field with 5:22 left on the clock. In the limited action that the Wildcats saw, the offense looked sharp as it has throughout Arizona’s training camp.

The offense gained a total of 160 yards, with 80 yards coming through the air and 80 yards on the ground.

The offense began the scrimmage with a 70-yard scoring drive that was capped by a 4-yard touchdown when Foles hit receiver David Roberts in the corner of the endzone.

ports are all around us.

Turn on the television and you’ll find a game almost immediately. Turn on the radio and you’ll be sure to hear some loudmouth campaigning for a coach to be fired or a player to be benched. Open up a newspaper and be prepared to find anything from stats to player profiles.

Open up the Arizona Daily Wildcat and expect to find anything and everything you could possibly want to know about Arizona sports.

I’ll be honest with you: I love sports. I realize that there are varying degrees of fandom — and that’s OK — but, if given a choice, I would rather pick Derek Jeter’s brain at a McDonald’s in the seediest part of the Bronx, N.Y., than have a successful night out at a five-star restaurant with the girl of my dreams.

Whether or not you feel the same way — and I hope for your sake you don’t — you can count on the Daily Wildcat sports page to fill in the smallest Arizona athletics detail.

Junior wide receiver Gino Crump beats junior cornerback Marcus Benjamin deep during Arizona’s Friday practice. The Arizona offense beating the defense has been a theme of fall camp.

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Training camp all but confirmed the popular thoughts about the 2010 Arizona football team heading into next season: the offense is poised to explode, and the defense is still a work in progress.

After two weeks of grueling morning practices, a trip to Fort Huachuca and a pair of scrimmages, it became clear that the

Wildcats’ offense and defense are worlds apart in terms of progression.

“I’ve been impressed with our execution offensively.” said head coach Mike Stoops on Saturday. “It’s light-years ahead where we’ve been at this time since we’ve been here.”

The defense is a different story. Stoops called training camp “relatively successful,” but didn’t hold back in regard to his disappointment in the Wildcats’

lack of defensive firepower.

“We still defensively are not where we want to be,” Stoops said. “We’re not playing good enough to compete for a championship at this point.”

The offense has all of the weapons necessary: a top-notch quarterback in Nick Foles, a trio of contrasting running backs in Nic Grigsby, Keola Antolin and Greg Nwoko, as well as a legitimate No. 1 receiver in Juron Criner.

The offensive line has also been

stellar and freshmen receivers Austin Hill and Tyler Slavin have turned heads, adding even more depth to the Arizona receiving corps that also features veterans William “Bug” Wright, David Douglas and David Roberts.

But the other side of the ball wasn’t given as many weapons to work with. The defense is only returning four starters from last season — defensive ends Brooks CAMP, page B6

SOFTBALL

UA falls short of national title

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

It seemed like they did the impossible.

The 2010 Arizona softball team won five straight elimination games to prevent it from making another quick exit from the Women’s College World Series for the third year in a row.

After losing its initial opening round game to the Tennessee Lady Volunteers by a mercy rule 9-0, the Wildcats defeated then-defending national champion Washington, followed by Hawaii, and then Tennessee twice on June 6 to move on to the championship series in Oklahoma City, Okla.

“Obviously I know how tough it is when you lose the first game to fight back, and so this has to go right up there as one of the great moments in Arizona history to give us an opportunity to play for a championship,” Arizona head coach Mike Candrea said.

Arizona was the first team to advance to the championship series after losing its opening round game since the 1992 Arizona Wildcats did it before falling to UCLA in the national title game.

Unfortunately for Arizona, history sometimes repeats itself.

In 2010, the Wildcats fell 2-0 to UCLA in the best-of-three championship series, including a game one loss that ended in heartbreaking fashion for Arizona.

Game 1 of the championship series saw an extra innings showdown between the Bruins and the Wildcats.

The back-and-forth contest featured four ties and had Arizona and UCLA tied for the same amount of hits, runs and errors.

In the bottom of the seventh inning with the Wildcats up 5-4, UCLA’s Dani Yudin sent a ball into left-center field that could have potentially ended the game. But a miscommunication between left fielder Brittany Lastrapes and center fielder Lauren Schutzler allowed the ball to fall and extend the game into extra innings.

“It was well-played to the most part,” said Arizona head coach Mike Candrea.

“The one part that wasn’t ended up costing us.“ UCLA’s Megan Langenfeld would deliver the crushing blow in the bottom of the eighth inning, giving the Bruins the 6-5 edge, and once again forcing Arizona to the brink of elimination.

“When you’re going into a game against UCLA, it’s going to be prizefight,” Candrea said. “The last one standing is the one that wins.”

Game 2 did not have the same

dramatics as Game one.

UCLA took a 2-0 lead just three batters into the game and consistently added insurance runs in the later innings.

Arizona tried to mount a comeback through middle innings, but it would not be enough to give the Wildcats a shot at the national title. A three-run deficit in the bottom of the fourth would be as close as Arizona would get.

“I think we came to the ball park ready to play,” Candrea said. “We just didn’t have all the things that we needed to together to make this game close.”

Although their run ended in disappointment, the Wildcats proved that Arizona was back to its championship form. The previous two years had seen the Wildcats make a quick exit after losing twice in the double elimination format.

“I think we expelled a lot of energy to get here,” Candrea said. “I’m very proud of this team for the fight they put up through this week.”

Extra bases

Freshman phenom

The Wildcats rode the arm of freshman ace Kenzie Fowler all the way to the championship series. Fowler threw 805 pitches and nearly every inning in the Women’s College World Series for the Wildcats.

“She has thrown a bunch,” Candrea said of Fowler’s pitch count. “My God, this young lady has done a miraculous job to get us here.”

Fowler’s season would go down as the second best freshman season in Arizona history. She finished with a 38-9 record with 1.53 ERA in 284.1 innings pitched and 371 strikeouts.

Vintage softball

The 2010 championship series plagued the two programs with the most wins in college softball against one another and was reminiscent of the early 1990s when Arizona and UCLA met three straight times to decide the national championship.

“I guess it is like old times,” said Arizona head coach Mike Candrea. “Back then it was a white ball with white seams, aluminum bats and now we have composite bat that’s changed the complexity of the game a bit.”

UCLA and Arizona have met a total of seven times in the championship series with Arizona holding a 4-3 edge, despite coming up short in 2010. The 2010 matchup was the first in the best-of-three championship format.

SCRIMMAGE continued from page B1

Defense shows rust in shortened scrimmage

Arizona’s trio of running backs found success both in the air and on the ground. Sophomore running back Greg Nwoko led the offense with 58 yards, thriving on yards after the catch. However, after a 29-yard run, safety Anthony Wilcox forced a fumble and Nwoko was responsible for the offense’s lone turnover.

“I thought we moved the ball pretty well. We had that one fumble, which was sort of a bummer on the draw play,” Foles said.

“We were keeping a good rhythm, keeping a good tempo. That’s really important. We want to keep a good tempo this year because we know it’s the key to our offense.”

While the offense was fluid in moving the ball, the defense seemed to struggle to keep pace.

“Defensively we’re still not playing like we need to. We’re just not sure of ourselves,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “You have to get scrimmage situations to get some of that work and we didn’t get as much as we wanted to tonight.”

On the opening scoring drive, Keola Antolin racked up 11 yards to start and Nic Grigsby converted a third and short to keep the drive going.

The defense forced a third and

out with Matt Scott at quarterback, but when Foles returned with the first team, the offense started back toward the end zone before the scrimmage was cancelled.

Although the scrimmage wasn’t full force, it was still an opportunity for the younger players on the team to get a feel for the atmosphere. Freshmen cornerbacks Shaquille Richardson and Jonathan McKnight, receiver Tyler Slavin and safety Marquis Flowers all saw time.

“It’s not really a setback,” Foles said about the shortened practice.

“They got a little feel. It’s good for our younger guys and freshmen to have the fans here, play in the stadium. You always wanted to finish the scrimmage, get those 70 to 80 plays in, but we couldn’t do it today because of the weather.”

Stoops said the team would try to reschedule for another team scrimmage early in the week to get more of a game action feel.

“You want to get a little bit of atmosphere for the players to play in stadium, play in the lights,” Stoops said. “We have to move on to Toledo, but we still got to get better within our own team.

That’s what was disappointing tonight, that we weren’t able to get that work.”

Basketball moves forward

of Olson’s recruiting tactics — primarily involving a letter his office sent out to booster club to raise funds for a non-UA related AAU tournament — prompted the school to selfimpose sanctions upon itself last spring.

The NCAA decided on July 29 to add additional penalties, including the loss of a scholarship in 2012-13, and vacating 19 wins and a postseason appearance in the 2007-08 season. The NCAA also ruled that Arizona’s previouslybelieved 25-year NCAA Tournament streak, the second most in NCAA hoops history, was taken away.

What’s it mean?

It means that the book closes on a tumultuous investigation that tarnished one of college basketball’s coaching legacies.

Miller and new Athletic Director Greg Byrne didn’t appeal the additional penalties because they want to forget about the past.

Sure, Olson created a basketball program in little ol’ Tucson, one of the most heralded in the country. But now it’s all on Miller to climb the ladder and reset the bar, a high bar at that.

Judging by his work ethic, it appears that he’s just fine with all the pressure.

Speaking of his work ethic …

Miller has already established himself on the recruiting circuit.

Read through any recruiting websites and it’s obvious Miller is going for top talent, even

Let your mind take off with

hitting up the AAU games that other top-notch coaches aren’t.

Want evidence? In this year’s freshman class, Miller brought in junior college forward Jessie Perry along with Rivals.com’s four-star-rated swingman Daniel Bejarano from North High School in Phoenix and Los Angeles Westchester High School guard Jordin Mayes.

As for the 2011 recruiting class, highly touted Mesa High School point guard Jahii Carson verbally committed to ASU Saturday, but it came after Wednesday’s announcement that Nick Johnson, a former Highland High School in Gilbert, Ariz., standout who transferred to Nevada’s Findlay Prep, committed to the UA. ESPNU ranks Johnson as the No. 8 shooting guard in the country, but it’s likely he’ll play the point as well, according to the Arizona Daily Star. He joins New York forward Sidiki Johnson, who is a Top-10 recruit at his own position in the 2011 class.

What’s it mean?

Miller is going after talent, for sure.

But he’s also taking note of the diamonds in the rough. Just look at last year’s Pacific 10 Conference freshman of the year in Derrick Williams, who was a little-known three-star recruit out of Los Angeles.

Also, Miller is like that pit bull in your neighbor’s backyard — he protects his turf and is recruiting the best in Arizona and southern California for recruits.

At the same time, he and assistant coach Book Richardson

are keeping tabs back east, pulling guys out of New York like Johnson and sophomores Kevin Parrom and Momo Jones.

He has all the tools to be good, now Miller must prove he can coach Arizona back to the promised land — Elite Eights, Final Fours and championships.

K-real the enforcer

Arizona center Kyryl Natyazhko played for the European U20 Ukrainian team over the summer, averaging 17.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. He was ranked by SI.com writer Luke Winn as the best NCAA player who appeared in the Euro Championships.

During his freshman campaign at Arizona, Natyazhko averaged just 1.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per contest in 10.9 minutes per game.

What’s it mean?

Admit it: you gave Natyazhko some sarcastic cheers every time he touched the ball last year.

You thought he was a bit clumsy, uncoordinated even.

This summer’s performance should probably make you take him a little more seriously.

Miller always said big men are hard to figure out; who knows when they’ll develop, if they do at all?

The guess here is that, at the very least, he’s less deserving of all the flack he’s taken from peers.

There’s much promise with the 6-foot-11, 256 pound Ukrainian.

Piniella bows out with a dud, Braves rout Cubs The Associated Press CHICAGO — Lou Piniella waved goodbye Sunday, bowing as out the Cubs’ manager and ending a career that spanned five decades after the Atlanta Braves routed Chicago 16-5.

The 66-year-old Piniella announced before the game that he is leaving to be with his ailing mother. Third base coach Mike Quade was promoted to interim manager.

The disappointing Cubs weren’t able to send Piniella out as a winner. Omar Infante and Jason Heyward each hit a pair of home runs, and the Braves scored 11 times in the last three innings to break away.

Piniella was in the dugout when the game was over, and he waved his hat to longtime Braves manager Bobby Cox across the field. Cox plans to retire after the season.

Piniella hugged Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez before heading down the dugout tunnel to the clubhouse.

After contemplating the decision for several days and discussing it with Cubs general manager Jim Hendry, Piniella decided to walk away from baseball after 48 years as a player, manager and executive.

The surprising announcement came in a team handout in the

morning, and after Piniella had repeatedly insisted he would finish the season.

“My mom needs me home and that’s where I’m going,” Piniella said.

The loss left the Cubs at 51-74.

Atlanta held its lead in the NL East.

Piniella and Cox were honored before the game as they exchanged lineup cards at home plate.

Piniella and the umpiring crew posed for a picture. He shook hands with Cox, and they hugged each other and exchanged back slaps as Piniella’s No. 41 was posted on the centerfield scoreboard.

Cox made his last trip as a manager to Wrigley Field. He was announced to the crowd and took his cap off and waved it to the fans.

Braves starter Mike Minor (2-0) set a team rookie record by striking 12 in six innings. The lefty allowed three runs and six hits.

Heyward and Infante each finished with four hits, drove in four runs and scored four times.

It was 5-3 before the Braves scored four runs in the seventh, five more in the eighth and twice in the ninth.

The Cubs have lost six of their last seven. Randy Wells (5-12) took the loss.

Rookie Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro finished 4 for 5 with two doubles.

Sports relate to all walks of life

of the early 1990s.

Why does that matter? It doesn’t.

Having a three-bar facemask instead of a two-bar won’t help him decipher a coverage or throw a 20-yard out-route on a 3rd-and-18, but the subtle change in game day attire speaks to the depth of competitive athletics.

Sports is a lifestyle. There are fans of players, fans of teams, fans of fundamentals, fans of uniforms, and fans of teams’ colors.

There are fans that go to games and fill out scorecards, fans that go to games as a social event, fans that go to games to experience the architecture of a stadium and fans that go to games because they arefertile people-watching grounds.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat caters to all fans.

So while Arizona baseball head coach Andy Lopez preaches the need to

camp continued from page B1

constantly compete to his players, the sports desk at the Daily Wildcat will work to be as creative as Don Draper.

While Arizona softball head coach Mike Candrea teaches his outfielders how to call-off one another on fly balls, we’ll do what we can to be as funny and witty as Michael Bluth.

And while Kyle Fogg comfortably rests at the free-throw line with ice in his veins, we will be as diligent as Dwight Schrute.

So, go to the games. Cheer for your favorite teams — even if it isn’t Arizona.

Scream in disbelief at a call a referee made. Then pick up the Daily Wildcat and see what we have to say about the game — and, if you’re so inclined, hop onto dailywildcat.com and comment.

You, the fans, are what make sports great. So let’s talk sports.

—Tim Kosch is a journalism senior and can be contacted at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Linebackers still searching for consistency

Reed and Ricky Elmore, and cornerbacks Trevin Wade and Robert Golden, last year’s starting strong safety.

The biggest hole for Arizona is at linebacker. The Wildcats are in the process of replacing all three of their linebackers, after losing Xavier Kelly, Sterling Lewis and Vuna Tuihalamaka last season.

“We lost a great deal of leadership and maturity,” Stoops said. “I still believe our skill level is just as good it was, just we lose all those tackles. We’ve got guys who haven’t made all those tackles.”

Three of the top four linebacker candidates — Trevor Erno, Derek Earls and Paul Vassallo — have yet to appear in a Division I game. And in addition to the linebacker holes, the Wildcats are also looking for a pair of safeties to step up into starting roles because Golden will move to his natural position at cornerback.

Lightly-used seniors Joe Perkins and Anthony Wilcox have been starting all camp for Arizona, but the door is still open for a couple freshmen and sophomores like Adam Hall and Marquis Flowers to take the reins.

Needless to say, there is some serious youth on the defense, and that youth reared its ugly head as early as the team’s first scrimmage on the sixth day of camp.

“The offense kicked our butt on the ground and in the air,” said Reed, a fifthyear senior defensive end, after the Aug. 10 scrimmage.

“I think it was the youth,” cornerback Wade added. “They’re trying to make a play but first you need to learn technique

before you can try to make play.”

The defensive struggles have been a theme for Arizona all training camp, something that isn’t sitting too well with Stoops.

While there’s no doubting that it is exciting and encouraging to have one of the top offenses in the conference led by one of the top arms, a consistent defense is the basis of a successful team.

“Our offense is going to have to score a lot of points and I think they’re capable, but that only lasts so long,” Stoops said.

“We’ve got to have a consistent defense and we haven’t been consistent. And that’s really the most disappointing part of camp to me is that we’re not stopping the run good enough. We’re just not playing as violent and physical as you need to and that’s somewhat scary.”

All in all, training camp was useful in that it allowed the offense to prove its worth, as well as give individual players a chance to show that they have what it takes. Certain players definitely left their mark and catapulted up the depth chart, but the concern about the defense remains.

With so many new faces in new places, it would be unfair to expect instant stardom from the defense, but the season opener is less than two weeks away and some stability needs to be reached.

“I was hoping we’d be a little bit further along,” Stoops said, “but we have a lot young players. We’re substituting three linebackers, a new nickel. We’ve got a lot of young players and that correlates into some confusion.

We can play faster and more effectively defensively.”
