A UA professor said at a talk Wednesday evening that Israel must end its occupation of Palestine to resolve the ongoing conflict in the region.

The UA Hillel Foundation hosted the talk, called “Israel, Hamas and the Palestinians; Conflict Resolution or Conflict Management.” The speaker was Asher Susser, professor of Israel studies.

A joint event between the foundation and the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies, Susser’s talk presented his view on the best course of action for Israel in light of the most recent hostilities with Hamas.

Susser said he believes that the only way to bring an end to the current hostilities is for Israel to end its occupation of Palestine.

“There can be no longterm cessation of hostilities if the occupation continues,” Susser said. “So there must

Increased stipends, philanthropy events and project requests were part of the ASUA Senate’s agenda Wednesday evening at its weekly senate meeting.

Pauline Lam, executive director of the Wildcat Events Board, began the meeting by discussing stipends.

“I am requesting to increase the stipend for my directors because they do not receive as much as they should,” Lam said. “They are doing a lot for the student body and creating really big events for students to attend.”

Lam expressed her concern that the Wildcat Events Board directors do as much work as the associates but do not receive equal

Ducey’s key point during the debate was his experience as a businessman and how he is looking to “jump start” the economy. DuVal said he is against any budget that cuts additional money from public education.

“I am calling for us to begin funding our schools immediately,” DuVal said.

The first issue debated was the budget deficit that Arizona faces.

Resnik was particularly confrontational on this subject because both candidates laid out ideas, but neither offered specifics on where they were

Chase reinstalls flags after 75 years A historic moment will take place at the Chase Building, Tucson’s first skyscraper, today at 9 a.m. for the first time in 75 years.

Flags for the Flagless, an organization that installs flags on unused or abandoned flagpoles, founded by Tucson police officers Charley Foley and his partner Bradley Clark, arranged the ceremony.

Two American interment flags that draped the coffins of Tucson World War II veterans, Alvin E. Miller and Joseph C. Yanek, will be raised at the skyscraper. The flags were donated by the families of the veterans, Miller’s son and Yanek’s widow, in an effort to bring them back to life.

Crystal McGuire, designated broker at the Danmarben Group, is directly involved in this morning’s ceremony. The Danmarben Group got involved with Flags for the Flagless after they requested to reinstall flags on the Chase Building.

“They left a historic picture with my staff saying that they would love to put flags back up, so they initiated the conversation,”

DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE Fred DuVal said he doesn’t want any more money taken from education. Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Ducey’s platform is centered on jump-starting the economy.

Kindergarteners then, Democrats talk freshmen now post- student debt September 11, 2001 BY max lancaster The Daily Wildcat

Tatum Seebaum, a pre-business freshman, who was in kindergarten when the 9/11 attacks took place, re-creates her kindergarden photo by sitting on a bench outside of Park Student Union on Wednesday. This year’s college freshmen were in kindergarten when 9/11 happened.

T

he UA freshman class was barely starting its first year of school when the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred 13 years ago. Most people remember different things from that day.

Some had family or friends involved; others don’t remember anything, and all they know is what they have been told. Some had never heard of the attacks until years later, due to the fact that their parents didn’t tell them what happened.

Tatum Seebaum, a prebusiness freshman, said that she was in school when the planes hit the twin towers.

“In the matter of a few seconds, teachers were running around frantically and the students had no idea what happened, but we knew it was bad,” Seebaum said.

Others said they hadn’t even gotten to school when the news broke.

“I was watching Sesame Street and getting ready for kindergarten when I saw it on TV, and I just remember being confused,” said

Gabby Cooper, a biochemistry freshman.

Some students, such as Nia Nikkhamanesh, a biology freshman, couldn’t recall the events because they were simply too young.

“I actually don’t remember 9/11 at all,” Nikkhamanesh said.

“I was pretty young, but I think it definitely caused a scare to most Americans.”

Lauren Kosinski, an undeclared freshman, also doesn’t remember the events surrounding Sept. 11, but is aware of its effects on the country.

“I definitely think we’ve become more aware as a country and more precautions have been taken and more security measures have been put in place to keep our country safe,” Kosinski said.

Many of the freshmen agreed that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks shaped the U.S. by bringing the country closer together and bringing about increased security.

The students said this security ranges from heightened airport security to the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs, which were revealed to the public in 2013. These freshmen said they

going to get the money to fix the budget deficit.

DuVal said he wants to give more money to education, but couldn’t say where that money was going to come from, while Ducey said he wants to cut taxes, but struggled with the same problem. Eventually, Ducey said that everything is on the table to be cut except for education, while DuVal suggested privatizing portions of the government, such as the lottery, to save some money.

The candidates became combative when talking about DuVal’s role in tuition increases while he served as chairman on the Arizona Board of Regents.

DuVal said that there was nothing else he could have done to find the money sans closing campuses, which he adamantly said was off the table. Ducey said that he would have looked at education with a businesslike approach and would have also opposed closing campuses.

The candidates were then asked to describe their philosophical differences in fixing Arizona’s K-12 education system.

DuVal said that Ducey’s plan is unrealistic because there is no way to have both systematic educational improvement and tax reform due to Arizona’s deficit.

Ducey defended himself by saying that getting the income tax down to zero is merely a direction he intends

believed the actions taken by the government were preventative measures more than anything else, but Nikkhahmanesh also said these measures were taken due to the hysteria related to terrorism.

“From then on, terrorism became more popular and from that, security in most places was increased,” Nikkhahmanesh said.

The freshmen also used the word “cautious” to describe the U.S. after Sept. 11.

“I think it brought America together and united us, and we’ve become more cautious because of it,” Cooper said.

In this case, from tragedy came rebirth, resulting in not only the new One World Trade Center that was erected last year, but also a more secure nation. As the freshmen class ages, the nation will slowly see a loss of anyone who has even the faintest memory of what occurred on Sept. 11, 2001.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and College Democrats of America National President Natasha McKenzie spoke to college newspapers across the country Wednesday morning to talk about student debt reform and urge university students to get out and vote.

“The average graduate has about $26,000 in debt,” Murphy said.

“Student loan debt has surpassed credit card debt in this country.”

Democrats are hoping to decrease student debt by lowering interest rates and allowing a certain amount of debt to be forgivable.

“Anybody who has student loans should be allowed to bring their interest rate down to 3 percent,” Murphy said.

Murphy said she believes that student debt reform is possible through higher taxation of wealthier citizens.

“We need the richest Americans to pay their fair share,” Murphy said. “Ask people who have made it to give others a fair shot.”

According to Murphy, the federal government has made $50 billion off of the student debt program.

He said he hopes the federal government will sacrifice that profit so Americans can have more opportunity.

“We want the student debt program to break even,” Murphy said. “We need to focus on

to drive the government. He also said that in order for his plans to work, he is going to need “a term or two” in office.

On the topic of Arizona’s standard for K-12 students, also referred to as common core, Ducey said he does not support the program, calling it “unworkable” in today’s world. He said he would not force a school board to comply with common core if it did not want to do so.

He also said he will fix long wait lists at schools in order to more quickly enroll students at their preferred schools, but he failed to provide specifics when pressed

by Resnik.

DuVal, during his turn, said that the world is talentdriven and that opportunity should be equal for students across the board.

“You can’t get there if your first priority is tax reform,” DuVal said.

Ducey said in closure that kick-starting the economy is what motivates him. He said that his business-like approach and entrepreneurial energy are his assets, and that his plan of action includes reforming K-12 education and encouraging innovation by Arizonans.

In DuVal’s closure, he said that he wants to reform education, energize business growth and create an inclusive environment. He said that education was the most important of the three.

expanding opportunities for young people to be successful.”

Murphy said he believes Americans will back student debt reform but also understands that a Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will not share the same view.

“They have taken the side of the rich and affluent and have decided against American families,” Murphy said.

Wasserman Schultz said that the best course of action for student debt reform is to get out and vote democrat.

Wasserman Schultz is also urging Washington to let go of its partisan ways. “‘My way or the highway’ politics need to stop,” Wasserman Schultz said. “We need to make affordability of aid a priority so more young Americans can climb the ladder to the middle class.”

Wasserman Schultz is not worried about losing votes from young Americans, even though the democrats lost democratic voters in some demographics.

“We need students to speak at the polls,” Wasserman Schultz said. “Congress needs to prioritize students instead of the mega-rich, or we will be stuck.”

be, I would argue, a middle of the road, whereby Israel does withdraw with an agreement with the Palestinians towards the ending of the occupation.”

Susser views this as a pressing issue of the utmost importance for Israel.

“Israel as a legitimate member of the family of nations and Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people is endangering itself seriously,” Susser said. “Even though conflict resolution is not at hand, Israel must seek a rational form of managing the conflict, which is not via the continuation of the occupation. That will not bring Israel any closer to a secure, nonbelligerent future.”

If the Israeli government does not take action soon, Susser said he believes it is risking its future legitimacy and security.

“The present government of Israel, by sitting on its hands and not making any decision, is making a decision which is detrimental to Israel’s interest,” Susser said.

Susser’s opinion is that Israel must refrain from meddling in Palestinian society.

“It is fundamentally wrong, not only in the moral sense, but

fundamentally wrong politically, to try to engineer other people’s societies for them,” Susser said. “It just doesn’t work.”

Susser stressed the importance of communication as a tool for the de-escalation of the conflict.

“I think Israel should say, ‘We are willing to talk to anyone who is willing to talk to us,’” Susser said.

Isaiah Barker, a psychology junior, appreciated Susser’s viewpoint about conflict resolution.

“It’s a different perspective,” Barker said. “It’s something that you don’t hear in the media from someone who’s involved in the process.”

Michelle Blumenberg, executive director of the UA Hillel Foundation, said that the goal of the talk was to present one idea out of many on how to handle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

On Oct. 27, the foundation will host another talk on the same issue, featuring Khalil Shikaki, who holds a doctorate and is a senior fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University.

“This is a huge issue,” Blumenberg said. “It’s so complex.

It’s so nuanced. There’s no easy answer.”

McGuire said. “It took a week and a half to work in my schedule, but I fell in love with the idea.”

According to Foley, there are many abandoned flagpoles throughout the city. After finding 33 in one general vicinity, he was inspired to create the organization.

“I used to notice [abandoned flag poles] a lot,” McGuire said. “Now I notice it more now that I’m more conscious about it. I think it’s spectacular what they’re doing.” According to McGuire, they had a practice run of the ceremony last week, and although the flag was only up for a few moments, people stopped, paid reverence to it and talked about it.

“As little as that time span was, it was moving,” McGuire said. “I think it’ll impact a lot of people.”

Carly Caylor, a high school student at The Gregory School, will be the master of ceremonies, speaking about the history of the flags and the people who provided them.

Caylor was recently elected as state president of the National Society of Children of the American Revolution, the oldest patriotic youth organization in the United States.

“I feel honored that I could be a part of the ceremony to recognize those who have fallen in American history, especially those who passed on Sept. 11, and to honor the new flags that are to be placed [at the Chase Building],” Caylor said.

Flags for the Flagless has raised 22 American flags throughout Tucson in four months.

“Someone asked me when I approached them, ‘What is this, like, a feel good project?’” Foley said. “I said, ‘You know, ma’am, it’s whatever you want it to be.’ A flag means different things to different people. To me, it’s not a feel good project, it’s just bringing back what once was.

That’s how I look at it.”

“We’re really excited to work with them and bring this to a population that’s not greek and also keep it running greek,” Ortega said.

This event is unique because there is a nontraditional philanthropy donation method.

According to Ortega, this particular philanthropy event will raise money for an organization of one’s choice instead of raising money for the same cause.

Ortega said he wants a high level of participation from all UA students.

Magic lies in “nerdy” clubs too BY ASHLEIGH HOROWIITZ The Daily Wildcat

D

uring the first week of college, the UA Mall is an overwhelming line of tents, with clubs desperately trying to recruit new members. Most of these booths belong to well-respected sports teams and honorary, greek or academic associations; but then, there are the booths most students pass by without a second glance: the “nerdy” clubs.

Card games, comic books and video games used to be common subjects for clubs in middle school. Even in high school, these groups weren’t abnormal to see, though they may have started to seem strange. By the time college rolled around, being part of a group that sits around watching anime, playing Yu-Gi-Oh! or running around on imaginary broomstick PVC pipes became childish.

To create and maintain a club requires time, dedication and planning. Often times, people see these “nerdy” clubs as a waste because they think they would gain no skill, merit or school credit in return for their dedication. It would just be a random useless activity on their resume; in the end, their time would be worthless.

But that’s exactly what these “nerdy” students work towards: for what they love to be worth something.

In October 2005, the first game of quidditch was played at Middlebury College in Vermont. As of 2013, more than 100 university, high school, adult and youth teams had been organized nationwide, according to US Quidditch.

The UA is on this list. As of this year, quidditch is an official Campus Recreation-affiliated sport with practices three days a week and tournaments held across the country.

As a new player on this team, I was ecstatic about playing and had gone out of my way to get the right gear for the sport.

While I bought my cleats, the clerks seemed confused and disappointed — at a loss as to how a fictional game had become such a nationwide phenomenon, even affecting their tiny store.

The disapproval didn’t stop there.

In the days after buying my shoes, I noticed myself purposely avoiding admitting what sport I played, but when I was cornered into spilling the beans, reactions were polarized. Either the person thought it was wonderful, or they laughed me off as a joke.

Outsiders often assume that these organizations and clubs are small groups of people who haven’t gone far.

That is where they’re wrong.

In 1970, the first Comic-Con, or minicon, as it was called, was held.

The event featured two guests, about 100 attendees and had been organized to raise money to support a bigger convention, according to the ComicCon organization’s website.

This small event was easily overlooked at the time, but what it turned into is an enormous wave of people dedicating weekends to their favorite show, game, comic and more.

Today, according to the Comic-Con website, Comic-Con has an attendance rate of 130,000 and features thousands of guests, such as Robert Downey Jr., Daniel Radcliffe and Ginnifer Goodwin. Comic-Con has also led to the Alternative Press Expo, started in 1994, and WonderCon, created in 1987.

The UA has about nine clubs that fall into similar categories of abnormality, according to the ASUA Clubs and Organizations page, and instead of these students being looked at as idiotic, they should be commended.

The UA Video Game Developers Club will not only satisfy a student’s passion for gaming, but it also helps students who plan to go into the video gaming industry with programming, career advice and all aspects of game design.

The University of Arizona Harry Potter Alliance takes the four houses of Hogwarts and turns them into volunteer groups that focus on different activities. Gryffindor for equality, Ravenclaw for literacy and media reform, Hufflepuff for self-esteem and Slytherin for — no, not evil — the environment.

These students have come together to create clubs and conventions dedicated to what they enjoy, just as any sports team, volunteer or passionate person would.

People can continue to see these “nerds” as just that — oddballs who aren’t quite understood. But instead of only seeing the strange side of them, look also at what they’ve accomplished in the face of adversity for what they love. Brooms up.

Self-care trumps stress habits

BY EMILEE HOOPES The Daily Wildcat

A

s summer draws to a close, the days of free schedules and unstructured sleep patterns have been exchanged for ones of early-morning classes and late nights in the library.

For some, the anticipation of reuniting with old friends and extracurricular activities counteracts these new changes.

For others, the transitional stress of adapting to new routines may be overwhelming.

It is safe to say that stress is a normal part of life. Everyone stresses. Without stress, there would be no motivation to fulfill daily tasks and commitments.

However, it is essential to recognize these feelings as they come up and to address them accordingly. Even more importantly, action should be taken if one feels that stress has begun to affect their daily routines and overall well-being.

Unfortunately, our culture has built inaccurate stereotypes around stress and its effects.

In the eyes of many, stress is

mind.

Lastly, it is important to make time for yourself. The college experience consists of far more than simply academics. Don’t feel bad about setting aside a sliver of time to meet up with friends, to read a good book or to watch an episode of your favorite show on Netflix. You deserve it.

If you feel alone, rest assured that you are not. According to data from CAPS, over 100 students new to the CAPS system were seen during the first week of the semester. Chances are, if you feel stressed and anxious, someone close to you does as well.

As my mother has always told me, “Control the controllables, and forget about the rest.” You have control over how you wish to feel. If you feel that minor routine adjustments are not enough to get you to the place you want to be, do not be afraid to take advantage of outlets that are willing to assist you. In doing so, you can guarantee another happy and productive year at the UA. — Emilee Hoopes is a molecular and cellular biology sophomore. Follow her @h00pesthereitis

Voter apathy a nineties excess millenials can no longer afford

BY TOM JOHNSON

The Daily Wildcat

I

’ve done a lot of volunteer work for this coming election, gathering petition signatures and attempting to register voters, specifically for the Democratic Party, in the interest of full disclosure.

A lot of the responses are variations on, “No, I’m not interested.” It’s understandable, because sometimes people are in too much of a hurry to get where they’ve got to go, or they’re already registered.

But, when people say they don’t vote because, “Both sides are the same, man! The system’s corrupt, man!” that fills me with rage.

These encounters are distressing, because polls show that less than a fourth of millennials plan to turn out for this election, and this attitude is most likely why.

It’s an attitude that probably

stems from Generation X, specifically the stripe of said generation that fetishized mocking our broken system but refusing to do a whit about it, similarly to what Theis Duelund of Vice said in his article, “Gen X Ruined The World Too.” “By draining idealism of its optimistic sincerity, Generation X created a culture obsessed with methods of content delivery but disinterested in content,” Dueland writes.

But this is a foolish outlook, because even if both sides are corrupt, people need to focus on getting things done rather than just lollygagging and wallowing in a steaming mound of selfpity. People need to vote for the side that best represents their interests.

What is also true is that, in this day and age, people no longer have an excuse to abdicate responsibility for voting. They can opt-in to vote by mail.

Do you feel too self-important to accept part of the collective responsibility for the failings of our democratic system? Well, at least you’re honest.

But we cannot accept this abdication of responsibility as a part of our generation. We’re doing so well, other than this lack of voting.

All around me — or at least on my Tumblr feed — I see people of my generation rediscovering the lost arts of optimism and collective organization that were previously drowned in a sea of flannel in the 1990s.

Just look at how students around the country participated in Occupy movements, even when they were being peppersprayed in the face. And at the UA, every spring semester, the Take Back the Night march is organized on campus by students and anti-rape organizations.

But it’ll be all for nothing if

people cannot leverage that political will into actual votes.

People in the millenial generation need to shake off whatever apathetic funk they may have about the system and at least try to do the best with what they have, though “what they have” is liable to be better if they were smart enough to vote in the primaries.

So, whatever party preference you may hold, register to vote today. No, don’t wait until tomorrow, you might forget.

Just go online; do it now.

Look up information on your representatives, and not just on a state or county level, but also even locally.

Remember, if you didn’t vote, you don’t get to complain.

Unless you’re a convict that is, in which case you probably have several very good reasons to do so. But, the state of America’s terrible prison system is another column in and of itself.

On Aug. 26 around 12:08 a.m., a UA student was warned for providing false information to law enforcement in reference to being a minor in possession and diverted to the Dean of Students Office.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was traveling east on Sixth Street from Tyndall Avenue and saw a woman who was having trouble walking down the sidewalk and swaying from side to side. As the officer passed her, he saw that she was on her cellphone while hugging a pair of black shoes to her chest. She did not notice the officer observing her and continued to have trouble walking.

The officer activated his emergency lights and pulled up to the student. The student appeared to not notice and kept walking. However, when the officer called to her, she stopped. The officer asked if she was OK and she replied that she was. He then asked for her age, and she began to tear up.

The student repeatedly said she was sorry and that it was her first time drinking, adding that she was just trying to make it to her boyfriend’s dorm on Highland Avenue.

The student had no form of identification on her but verbally identified herself. The officer could smell the odor of intoxicants on her breath. The student said she had only consumed one shot of vodka at a friend’s dorm in Coronado Residence Hall.

When the officer checked the name that the student had provided, he found no record of a person with that name.

After being asked for her real name, she identified herself with her CatCard and said she was sorry for providing the wrong name previously.

The officer explained the diversion program to the student, and she said she understood.

Shitty situation

On Aug. 26, a UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for underage drinking and criminal littering.

A UAPD officer was patrolling the area around Bear Down Field around 12:09 a.m. in a marked patrol vehicle when he saw a female student trying to conceal herself behind a three-foot tall fresh air intake at the northeast corner of the field.

The student was squatting down with her dress up near her waist. Another woman who was with the student was leaning over the air intake and laughing at the student while she was squatting.

The officer then followed the two students as they walked west on East Fourth Street. When the girls reached the north entrance of the field, the first student tried to conceal herself behind a small tree and again raised her skirt and began squatting.

The officer stopped adjacent to the girls and noticed that the student was urinating. Upon seeing the officer, the student quickly stood up and pulled her dress down.

The officer then noticed that the student had fecal matter running down her leg.

The officer spoke with the student, who said she was laughing so hard that she had to pee and accidentally pooped, too.

While speaking with the student, the officer noticed that she had a strong odor of alcohol coming from her breath, as well as bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. The student stated that she had a few mixed drinks at an off-campus party. She also said she had to use the bathroom but was unable to make it back to her dorm at Hopi Lodge Residence Hall. At this point, the student had poop running down her left leg, staining a portion of her dress.

The student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for underage drinking and criminal littering.

New and Improved at the BookStores: Textbooks Organized Alphabetically.

You might have noticed something new at UA BookStores during your back to school shopping: textbook shelves are now organized alphabetically by author’s last name instead of by academic department both on our shelves and on student booklists. We implemented this positive change in order to better manage the rush at the beginning of the semester and to improve in-store and online shopping experiences.

The textbook alphabetization system eliminates confusion surrounding courses that have multiple sections and that are cross-listed in various departments. Now, it is even easier for students to find their course materials thanks to the consistent alphabetical organization.

University of Arizona senior Caitlin Johnson found that the change improved her shopping experience. “The alphabetical organization was simple and easy to adjust to. Finding the correct textbooks this semester was faster than ever!” she says.

Andrew Soukhome, a student employee in the UA BookStores textbook department, is also enthusiastic about the change and has already noticed its benefits. According to Soukhome, not only is the new system more visually appealing, it saves time for the staff, ensuring that they can better serve customers.

“Now, we can just look at a book and automatically know where it goes. There are no more ‘see alternate location’ tags, so when we look at a student’s booklist, we automatically know where the book is,” he explains. Instead of the tags that once labeled textbooks according to department course numbers, the new alphabetical system uses electronic shelf tags to increase efficiency and provide less cluttered shelves.

The UA BookStores hope that your school year gets off to a great start and best wishes for a successful semester!

Drug used to curb heroin usage Mcclatchy-tribune

BALTIMORE — Robert Taylor, Jr. and Camille Haviland thought they were being safe — within the bounds of their dangerous heroin habit, that is.

Having bought from a new dealer, Taylor tried just one capsule instead of his usual three or four. Haviland left on an errand; when she returned 15 minutes later, she found him collapsed on the ground, bluish and not breathing.

She started CPR. When paramedics arrived, they injected Taylor with the overdose-reversing drug naloxone.

“At the time, I would have liked to have had this,” Haviland said recently after she and Taylor were trained and certified to administer the drug themselves. “I’ve had a lot of friends die because people just left them.”

Maryland health officials, desperate to stem an 88 percent rise in heroin overdose deaths from 2011 to 2013, have launched an initiative to put naloxone into the hands of addicts, their families, police and other nonmedical personnel.

Heroin in particular is taking a toll: Of the 848 people in Maryland who died of drug or alcohol intoxication last year, 464 overdosed on heroin.

The grim trend continues this year: In the first three months, the most recent for which statistics are available, 148 of the 252 who died had used heroin.

The city and region have struggled for decades with high rates of

heroin addiction, but fatalities are on the rise here, as elsewhere in the country, as purer forms of the drug, or formulations that include another potent opioid, fentanyl, become more widely available, health officials say.

As a result, states increasingly are turning to naloxone, also known by its brand name, Narcan, which reverses overdoses of heroin and other opioids such as oxycodone, but not of cocaine and other drugs.

In 2012, then-federal drug czar Gil Kerlikowske called for broadening naloxone’s availability, saying that for some addicts, it could be “the difference between life and death.”

During the 2013 Maryland legislative session, families of addicts who had died of heroin overdoses pleaded their case to lawmakers and won unanimous approval for a measure allowing nonmedical personnel to be trained to administer the drug and receive a prescription for it.

Taylor and Haviland are two of the roughly 2,200 people who have been certified to use naloxone since health departments and other groups began offering classes in March.

Still, the measure remains controversial in some quarters.

Critics say the new program, like those that distribute clean needles, encourages heroin addicts to continue using by reducing the consequences.

“It exacerbates the problem because people think they can overdose [and] ‘someone can bring

me around,’” said Israel Cason, the former heroin addict who has run the treatment program I Can’t We Can in Park Heights for 17 years. “They’re only treating the symptoms. They’re not dealing with the problem.”

But Maryland Health Secretary Dr. Joshua M. Sharfstein said naloxone is an important component of a larger strategy to cope with the flood of more powerful heroin, often mixed with fentanyl, that has sent the rate of fatal overdoses skyrocketing.

There is no evidence in existing

research, Sharfstein said, that making the antidote available increases drug use.

“People use for all sorts of reasons,” he said. “The fact that they have naloxone available is not a contributing factor. Heroin just destroys people’s lives completely.

What keeps them in recovery is not just the fear of death, it’s losing their family, their house, everything.”

Taylor and Haviland, who attended a class at the Howard County Health Department in Columbia, Md.,

last month, started methadone programs during the winter and say they are committed to their recovery.

They say having naloxone in their apartment in Laurel, Md., gives them a sense of security in case of an emergency.

“I hope I never have to use it,” Haviland said. “We both have a lot of goals now. We’re just tired of getting high. We want a life; we want something better.”

Bodies of slain children found Mcclatchy-tribune

A South Carolina father killed his five children “early on” after they went missing and drove their bodies, wrapped in plastic bags, in the back of his car through several states before dumping them in Alabama, investigators now believe.

The bodies of the five children, ages 1 to 8, were found Tuesday afternoon in a wooded area off a dirt road near Highway 10, east of Oak Hill, Ala., said Lewis McCarty, sheriff of Lexington County, S.C. The father, Timothy Jones Jr. of Lexington County, led investigators to the bodies, which McCarty said were wrapped in individual plastic bags and in an “advanced state of decomposition.”

Jones is expected to be charged with five counts of murder in the coming days, McCarty said.

Officials believe the children were killed all at once in South Carolina, and that Jones had driven through five states over “several days” before leaving the bodies, wrapped in individual plastic bags, in a wooded clearing.

Authorities said they still don’t know why Jones may have killed his children, and no cause of death has been determined.

Speaking to reporters, authorities displayed photos of the five smiling children, but declined to name them until autopsy results confirm the identities of the remains. Records released by the sheriff ’s department describe the children as an 8-year-old girl, a 7-year-old boy, a 6-year-old boy, a 2-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl.

The children were reported missing by their mother on Sept. 3 and were last seen with their father, who had primary custody of them.

On Aug. 28, sheriff ’s deputies said, Jones picked up his three kids from school and then retrieved the younger two from daycare.

Authorities say that same day, he forced all five of his children out of his car near a Wal-Mart store in Lexington County, putting them “in unreasonable risk of harm,” according to a warrant issued for his arrest on unlawful neglect.

It was the last time anyone reported seeing the children alive.

Jones’s children failed to show for school the next day and were absent again the Tuesday after the Labor Day weekend.

On the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 3, the mother reported to sheriff ’s deputies that she had not been able to contact her ex-husband for several days, and the children’s school became concerned after they did not show up, McCarty

Lexington County Sheriff Lewis McCarty, right, talks about Timothy Ray Jones, who is accused of killing his five children in Lexington County and dumping the bodies in Alabama. The news conference was conducted at the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department Training Center Wednesday in Lexington, S.C.

said. Neighbors had told deputies that Jones said he was moving his children to another state.

Lexington County Sheriff ’s officials on Wednesday defended the fact that they had not issued an Amber Alert for the children’s disappearance, citing the fact that Jones had legal custody of the children, and that the mother had stated she’d had trouble reaching her exhusband in the past.

“It’s kind of hard to tell a custodial parent that you can’t take your children … or where they can go,” McCarty said. “It’s a balancing act.”

Jones was arrested at a DUI checkpoint in Raleigh, Miss., on Saturday night.

Officers there noticed an odd chemical smell coming from his car, said Charlie Crumpton, sheriff of Smith County, Miss.

Inside, they found blood, bleach and other cleaning materials, McCarty told reporters. They also saw children’s clothes, but no sign of the children, McCarty said.

After arresting him Saturday night, officers ran his license plates and discovered Jones and his five children were on the National Crime Information Center’s missing persons database.

McCarty, who was visibly shaken while

speaking to reporters, said he’d never seen a case like this in his career. “I’m a father and I’m a grandfather,” he said. “It’s hard to work a case with one child or one murder. It’s very difficult to work two. But five is extremely hard.”

The bodies of the children have been transported back to South Carolina, McCarty said, and sheriff ’s officials are waiting to extradite Jones to South Carolina.

“I made a promise to these children’s mother that I would bring these children home,” McCarty said. “We have accomplished that.”

Besides getting the team back into shape, Berman has ulterior motives in making the players participate in spin class.

Berman wanted to narrow down the team to a group of guys who really wanted to be a part of the Arizona hockey program.

UA gets funds for new vet program

BY JOHN MCMULLEN The Daily Wildcat

The UA should expect to see the first incoming class of veterinary medicine students on campus this upcoming fall. A recent gift of $9 million from the Kemper and Ethel Marley Foundation provided the necessary start-up funds to make this Arizona dream a reality.

While tuition costs for out-of-state veterinary medicine programs have risen, Arizona public funding from the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education has not, said Elaine Marchello, assistant dean for undergraduate education at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and a veterinary science professor. “Where we used to be able to fund 22 students to go [to out-of-state veterinary medicine schools],” Marchello said, “we are down to funding nine, because the money just does not stretch as far.”

When Shane Burgess, vice provost and CALS dean, joined the UA in 2011, the dream to open a public veterinary medicine program for Arizona was resurrected, Marchello said. Attempts have been made in the past to convince the state legislature to procure funds; however, the donation from the foundation made the program possible.

“The [foundation’s] money is going to be used for two different areas,” Burgess said about the Kemper and Ethel Marley Foundation Veterinary Medicine and Surgical Program. “First, we will be building or

establishing, purchasing or renovating, four facilities around the state in Douglas, Yuma, Verde Valley and Pinal County [with a third of the money]. … The other two-thirds will be endowed and will provide scholarships to enable students to get through [the program] with lower debt.”

The program follows a distributive

learning model, Marchello said. This will allow for students in their final year to do their clinical rotations in the community, which allows them to get more hands-on, one-on-one experience than they ever would in a teaching hospital.

Students can graduate as a doctor of veterinary medicine in as little as four

years without having a bachelor’s degree, Marchello said. They will first enter a preprofessional phase for at least one year and take prerequisite courses. Those who do well can apply for the professional phase of the veterinary medicine program, while the others who are not accepted can continue in the current bachelor of science veterinary program and apply again in the future.

“Based on national averages, we could be talking about as many as 1500 students that could be applying [for the first year preprofessional phase],” Burgess said.

However, the program will accept 100 students into the professional track for the first graduating class, Burgess said.

The program models foreign veterinary medicine programs, Burgess explained, and the program will be one-of-a-kind in the U.S. Burgess added that the program may have the ability to change the education of veterinary medicine throughout the country.

The veterinary medicine program still needs to pass a final inspection from the American Veterinary Medical Association for accreditation in order to accept students for next fall, Burgess said. “[We are creating a program] to keep up with the 21st century,” Burgess said. “I am really excited that we will be focusing this program on what Arizona needs and having a program that can change with Arizona’s changing needs.”

UA researchers clear up misconceptions about normal aging

BY KIMBERLIE WANG The Daily Wildcat

LAYLA NICKS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES SENIOR Nancy Freitas, elementary education senior Colleen Nakanishi and music education senior Jule Streety illustrate a study that shows that our friends have DNA similar to our own on the UA mall on Aug. 29. Our friends are about as genetically similar to us as fourth cousins, but we look for genetic divergence in people we mate with.

BY NICOLAS ALEXANDRE

The Daily Wildcat

How close are you and your best friend, really? Our friends tend to have similar interests to us, but research finds that there is more to friendship than just a shared love for the outdoors.

The people who we call our friends have DNA similar to our own, according to a study led by Dr. Nicholas Christakis of Yale University.

The findings were published in July in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

This doesn’t mean that our friends are necessarily our relatives, but they do share many of our genetic differences by chance, a similarity on the order of fourth cousins, according to the study. The researchers were aware that people often associate by ethnic similarity and made sure to statistically account for that.

The study offers one way that the social or natural environment may favor our associations with genetically similar individuals — disease prevention. The author speculates that people who are resistant to a particular pathogen may befriend those who are likewise resistant. This will avert the potential spread of disease in a particular network of people. “[The way people pick their friends shows] a subconscious desire for acceptance and safety under particular social contexts, which in turn results in stronger bonds among friends,” said Hanna Kingsley, an anthropology junior. “Some such subconscious forces that may be implicated in our decision making include similar interests.”

Other cues indicated by the study include body odor, tone of voice and similarity in facial and body features.

This is in contrast to the mechanisms used to choose mating partners, which focus on genetic dissimilarity. For example, mice will use odor cues to determine which individuals are genetically dissimilar,

according to Dr. Christina Laukaitis, a medical geneticist from the Arizona Cancer Center.

“Three subspecies of house mice are found across the old world and will rarely interbreed with one another as a result of 10,000 generations of isolation,” Laukaitis said.

Accumulated mutations in salivary and urinary proteins have resulted in the preference or detection of proteins within one’s own population, Laukaitis said.

Mice will use odor cues within subspecies to determine which individuals are genetically dissimilar, Laukaitis said.

Laukaitis cited the well-known study by Claus Wedekind, published in Proceedings: Biological Sciences in 1995, that showed a similar response in humans. Researchers had women smell the sweat from various men’s T-shirts and found that females preferred sweat from genetically dissimilar males when it came to immunological genes.

Because the type of relationship is different, however, choosing friends requires different mechanisms than choosing who to mate with. “[Choosing our friends] could be a byproduct of selection on sticking together as a family,” said Dan Papaj, an animal behaviorist and professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology. “In other words, resulting from [family cooperation to perpetuate one’s familial genetics].”

Secondly, this could be the result of Richard Dawkins’ infamous selfish gene, according to Papaj.

A selfish gene is a gene that acts against the interest of its bearers even though it multiplies, Papaj explained.

He noted that the T allele is “one classic example” of a selfish gene in mice. A study published in Evolution

by S.S.Y. Young in 1967 showed that the T allele cultivates its spread in the — Follow Nicolas Alexandre @DailyWildcat

SIGMA XI

While diseases like vascular dementia are incredibly devastating, the majority of the population ages normally, according to Carol Barnes, a regents’ professor in the department of psychology and director of the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute.

Barnes explained that 86 percent of adults over the age of 71 do not have dementia, and that she saw importance in researching normal aging to see where pathological deviations began to occur and to optimize brain development throughout life.

Barnes said that memory loss from normal aging is not accredited to brain cell loss.

“From when you’re 15 to when you’re 101, you have the same number of cells,” Barnes said. “It’s not that there is zero cell loss in the brain, but it’s certainly not widespread.”

Long-term memory storage occurs primarily in the hippocampus, a structure located in the medial temporal REBECCA MARIE SASNETT/THE DAILY WILDCAT lobe of the brain. Neurons within NEURONS COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER in the hippocampus, the structure the structure communicate with in the brain that is responsible for long-term and spatial memory.

Arizona Sophomore Snuka setting UA Volleyball up for success Hockey

goes for a spin

BY Evan Rosenfeld The Daily Wildcat

Some elite athletes were simply drawn to their respective sport from a young age, fully committed to the sport and tried to be the best player that they could be. Others, like Arizona volleyball player Penina Snuka, found their perfect fit by chance and maybe a little bit of coaxing from their parents.

“My parents are definitely the ones who pushed me into playing volleyball,” Snuka said.

“They’ve been there for me every step of the way and one of the big reasons why I came to Arizona was so they would be able to see me play as much as possible.”

Flash back to 2006, when Snuka was living with her family in Kentucky. She was in sixth grade at the time, running late for school, when she heard a PA announcement that volleyball tryouts would be later that day.

At first, Snuka said she was reluctant, and recalled that if it had been up to her, she probably wouldn’t have gone to those tryouts.

“My parents pretty much forced me to go to them because I was a lazy kid,” Snuka said. “I was the one [in the family] who never wanted to do anything.

I always just wanted to kind of stay at home and sleep or eat.”

But as soon as the volleyball hit off her hands that afternoon, she knew she had found her passion.By the time Snuka was a senior in high school, she had developed into one of the top 50 volleyball players of her class in the nation.

Snuka entered the Wildcats’ program as a highly touted setter, living up to her hype and putting together a breakout freshman campaign comprising of two Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honors, a conference AllFreshman Team selection and AVCA All-Region honorable mention.

She ended the year as the only Wildcat player to see action in all 118 sets of the season, finishing

With hockey season quickly approaching, the team’s preseason training has taken off in full swing, but this year, new head coach Chad Berman has put a spin on how he plans to get the hockey team back in shape.

From now on, the entire hockey team will endure a vigorous spin class once a week at the Student Recreation center.

“I wanted to add variety to our workouts to avoid things feeling stale,” Berman said.

Due to the Tucson Convention Center being under construction, the Wildcats have to overcome the limited amount of ice time they normally have early in the season. Berman has created workouts to compensate for the time that is missed. The team has participated in an assortment of off-the-ice workouts from sprints on the soccer field to one-hour spin classes.

“Spin class is a great hockeyspecific work out, especially because it can be done in a way that simulates a typical hockey shift in a game, which typically... lasts 45 seconds,” Berman said.

“So a good way to train for hockey is in short sprint burst[s], which can be accomplished on the bikes. Hockey is all about strength and endurance in your legs and spin class improves that.”

The hockey team enjoys Berman’s wide variety of workouts because it keeps things fresh. No one likes conditioning, but it has to be done.

“With coach Berman adding a spin class to our workout regimen, it will definitely benefit us when the season starts,” forward Dylan Carter said. “Spinning is a tremendous workout for hockey. It’s great for conditioning the legs and simulating a shift on the ice.”

Berman wants team building to be a big emphasis for this year.

The Gift of Gabi Stoian

BY BRIAN PEEL

The Daily Wildcat

T

owards the end of practice on Tuesday, Arizona soccer head coach Tony Amato had his players line up in rows of two for a little test of mental and physical will. Two at a time, the various Wildcats would have to sprint for about 10 yards against each other, then line up and do it again when it was their turn once more. For most of the Wildcats, it looked like some sort of sadistic torture. For freshman midfielder Gabi Stoian, it looked like a stroll down Fourth Avenue.

“Ugh, I have to go up against Gabi?” groaned one of her unfortunate teammates racing against her.

“Why do you have to be so fast?” cried another.

Really though, for anyone who has been following Arizona soccer so far this season, Stoian’s dominance on the pitch should come as no surprise.

On Monday, after one of the best individual weekends for an Arizona soccer player in years, Stoian was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week.

In two games last weekend in Tempe, Ariz., at the Sun Devil Classic, Stoian scored three goals and assisted on two others when the Wildcats tied No. 6 Texas A&M on Friday night before beating Oklahoma State in a thrilling fashion Sunday morning. As a team, Arizona scored five goals over the two game stretch, with Stoian contributing to each one, including the game winner against Oklahoma State.

“It was an honor to receive it this early in the season,” Stoian said regarding being named Player of the Week. “I was excited to get it, but I couldn’t have done it without my teammates.”

After a slow start to the 2014 season in which the Wildcats

Amato is encouraged from what he has seen from his young superstar, who is still growing as a player.
