Streetcar construction to begin in ’11

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Tucson Modern Streetcar is set to begin construction early next year.

Connecting the UA campus to downtown, the Modern Streetcar is an electric railway system.

Streetcars will follow a 3.9-mile route from the Arizona Health Sciences Center to Congress Street, according to the Tucson Modern Streetcar website.

UA has been involved in the streetcar project since its outset in 2006.

David Heineking, director of Parking and Transportation

Services, represents the UA in the project.

“We meet monthly with the City and the construction team to talk about all things streetcar,” Heineking said.

The streetcar was originally set to operate Nov. 11, 2011. The date changed to October of 2013 after designs were finalized, according to Michael Graham, public information officer for the Tucson Department of Transportation.

“Construction is not behind schedule,” Graham wrote in an e-mail Wednesday. “The earlier dates that were announced were established as overall estimated project goals.”

Tucson Department of Transportation is designing the track and stops for the streetcar route as well as seven streetcar vehicles, according to Graham.

Construction is set to begin in early 2011, but has no official start date.

“Once final design is complete, and contracts are advertised, more detailed information on construction will be available,” Graham wrote.

Construction will affect several streets surrounding UA, including University Boulevard, Warren Avenue, Helen Street, Second STREETCAR, page 3

The Tucson Modern Streetcar was recommended as the locally preferred alternative (LPA) and received unanimous approval from the City of Tucson Mayor and Council in January 2006 and April 2007. Local funding for the modern streetcar project was approved as part of the successful Regional Transportation Authority Plan vote in Pima County in May 2006.

Park car, charge card Meters to become credit card capable

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Scrambling around for quarters under the passenger seat of your hand-me-down car will be a thing of the past — at least that’s what Parking and Transportation Services hopes for the UA’s future.

This week’s ASUA meeting was hosted David Heineking, director of Parking and Transportation Services.

Heineking said Parking and Transportation’s plans to install credit card pay meters and hopes to install them by the end of the school year.

In addition to the new meters, Heineking addressed bike valet and many of the permits left for sale.

After Heineking’s presentation, ASUA began discussing its own restructuring plans.

With a $15 million budget in an almost completely private entity, which receives no state money, other than for its disability golf cart program, Parking and Transportation Services employs up to 70 students in its 150-member staff and are looking to update and expand for the coming year.

Although they lost about 40 to 50 parking spots, Parking and Transportation Services received lower demand for parking permits, including inside the usually packed Cherry Avenue garage, according to Heineking.

“I think we’ve just gotten to the point where people don’t want to pay,” said Heineking in the presentation. “And that’s not just with parking permits, that’s with tuition, that’s with everything.”

In discussing the advent of the bike valet, Heineking noted the in-

Franklin Garcia, a biosystems engineering junior, and Sarah Daley, a program assistant view part of the new “UA College of Medicine Medical Student and High School Student Research Programs (1981-2010): Creating a Community of Questioners for the Future” exhibit yesterday in the Arizona Health Sciences Library. The exhibit documents 30 years of medical student research and nearly 25 years of disadvantaged high school student researchers working in AHSC laboratories and clinics.

Disadvantaged students show off real-world lab experience

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT “Questions, Questioning and Questioners.”

This is the theme of the exhibit “The UA College of Medicine Medical Student and High School Student Research Programs (19812010): Creating a Community of Questioners for the Future,” that opened Wednesday evening.

The exhibit is housed at the Arizona Health Sciences Library Java City Café and runs through Oct. 31.

research from The College of Medicine through pictures from labs, videos of student presentations and a virtual clinic research center.

“It’s in cyberspace where students and researchers can present their work and ask questions,” said Marlys Witte, director of the Medical Student Research Program and Summer Institute on Medical Ignorance.

The Medical Student Research Program allows medical students to work one-on-one with faculty in labs. The program has had 750 medical student researchers since

being founded in 1981.

High school students can apply for the Summer Institute on Medical Ignorance and spend six weeks in a lab on campus. The institute has had 474 students since 1987.

Francisco Garcia, associate director of the Medical Student Research Program, said many students limit their possible career paths before even entering college.

“We use (the institute) as a way to get people enthusiastic and excited about things possibly relevant as the years prog-

ress,” Francisco Garcia said.

Many high school researchers in the program come from disadvantaged families. The program allows them to gain real-world lab experience for a stipend.

“We pay them. Rather than flipping burgers, they do medical research,” Wittes said. “Many of them are continuing in medical research.”

The program focuses on students questioning both their own research and medical research in general.

pre-physiology sophomore You look really stressed out, what is going on?

I have a practical in an hour and twenty minutes.

How are you feeling about that?

I’m kind of OK. How long have you been studying for this little practical?

Two and half hours.

OK, so since you are a physiology major, I feel that this question is very appropriate to ask you. How do you feel about medical marijuana because it’s being put on all the bills, and as a physio major I am just wondering your take on it?

Hmm, I actually have a good friend’s mom who had cancer and she used it and it made her feel a lot better, obviously, and I think that in certain circumstances it is acceptable.

So you do feel like it has some positive outcomes, for people that really need it?

100 percent agree.

But do you think, being on a college campus, that a lot of kids are going to abuse those medical privileges if it does become legal?

I mean, yes, but I feel like it is already a situation being dealt with on campus, so I think that because it is, it is not going to intensify that much.

Give us a couple songs from your studying playlist.

I was just listening to The Cab and Kanye West.

“Gold-digger?”

No actually, “The Coldest Winter” from 808 and Heartbreak. I was also listening to Shakira “Walka Walka.”

So quite a variety of songs you use to sort of motivate/inspire your studying.

Well, I usually just end up dancing.

How do you feel about people texting on their bikes? Personally, I have been close to being hit by students texting on their bikes, so…?

I think that it should be outlawed. I think that if you get caught you should be cited for obstruction of pedestrians.

Pedestrian Justice? (laughs) Interference with the justice of pedestrians and their legal rights of walking.

Girl, you should seriously join ASUA because this is a huge problem that needs fixing on this campus.

I’ll get right on that.

OK, so to wrap this up, what is the first thing you are going to do to reward yourself after you get an A on that practical?

Study for my biology test tomorrow.

I cannot wait to see you working with people all over the world that need your medical help because some deserve it and others don’t.

I mean, I am going to be the best … in the world.

This is the third year the band has been invited to play on campus to help bring in Mexican Heritage month, a time when the UA celebrates Hispanic culture and traditions from Wednesday through Oct. 15.

Girl, 6, Removed From Cheerleading Team

A Michigan couple is crying unsportsmanlike conduct after their 6-year-old daughter was removed from a flag football cheerleading team because they complained that one of the team’s chants was too risqué.

Jennifer and Duane Tesch, of Madison Heights, say their daughter, Kennedy, was unanimously voted off of the Madison Heights Wolverines flag football cheerleading team during a team meeting Tuesday night. The meeting was held to discuss concerns the Tesches voiced last month regarding one of the team’s cheers: “Our backs ache, our skirts are too tight, we shake our booties from left to right.”

But instead of seeing their concerns with the cheer resolved,

the Tesches saw their little girl booted from the team.

“I don’t even have the words,” Jennifer Tesch told FoxNews.com.

“I can’t believe their solution to this was to remove my daughter from the team. She’s going to be devastated. She’s going to be crying.”

The Tesches said Kennedy was asleep when they returned home from the meeting Tuesday night, so she has yet to learn she’s off the squad.

“She’s been sick today, so we haven’t had a chance to tell her,” said Duane Tesch. “She will take it bad.”

He said he was surprised that the team meeting took an abrupt turn.

“This meeting was supposed to be about keeping this cheer or not, and all of a sudden it turned into getting

rid of us,” he said.

He said the parent of another cheerleader suggested that Kennedy be removed from the team while the matter was being resolved, and another parent seconded the motion.

Kennedy was then voted off the team, Tesch said.

The Tesches said they were told they would receive a refund for the $125 team uniform and that Kennedy would be allowed to try out again next year. But they won’t be holding their breath, they told FoxNews.com.

“We’re probably going to look to get her into gymnastics,” Duane Tesch said.

Calls to a team official and other parents were not immediately returned on Wednesday. ­— FoxNews.com

NEWS STREETCAR continued from page 1

arizona daily wildcat • thursday, september 16, 2010 •

CatTran to change downtown route once project completed

Street and Speedway Boulevard.

“The one thing we’ve continued to ask for from the City is to have the construction done over the summer,” Heineking said.

UA CatTran will change once service begins. The streetcar will replace the CatTran USA route, which provides service to the Ronstadt Transit Center downtown.

Heineking said the route would not be necessary once students are able to use the streetcar. “We’re going to reallocate some resources.”

The addition of the modern streetcar is expected to help revitalize downtown Tucson, according to Michael Keith, CEO of the Downtown Tucson Partnership.

The streetcar may allow UA students to permanently impact the area through the expansion of the campus. Keith said the UA has already submitted

exhibit

three requests for student housing and is considering holding classes downtown.

“I suspect the UA is going to play a major role down here academically as well as with housing,” Keith said. “That connection is really going to be strengthened if that occurs.”

Keith said having students live downtown is especially important for its revitalization.

“They bring a certain energy to an area,” Keith said. “Somebody once described a vibrant downtown as what happens after 5 p.m.”

Heineking said the streetcar would allow a UA presence downtown.

“The university is excited about the opportunities it gives us to expand beyond the borders we have right now,” Heineking said.

The streetcar may also give stu-

Several students at the exhibit opening were part of the Summer Institute on Medical Ignorance during high school.

Franklin Garcia, a biomedical engineering junior, worked in a cytogenetics lab in the summer of 2007.

“Our whole main project for the summer was to take our own blood and look at our chromosomes,” Franklin Garcia said.

Franklin Garcia said the experience allowed him to explore his interest in science and in turn, helped him to decide on a biomedical engineering major at the UA. “Being exposed to that type of environment actually prepared me for labs in classes,” Franklin Garcia said. “Some material I learned over the summer applied later on.”

Amanda Valles completed her third year of medical school at the UA and is taking a year off for cardiology research. Valles was a high school researcher in a cardiology lab during the summer of 2001.

“I think it definitely had a big impact on doing research,” said Valles, who also participated in the Undergraduate Biology Research Program while at the UA. Valles said her lab research was incomparable to high school classes.

“I was able to talk to faculty,” Valles said. “And to know that something (in the lab) doesn’t just happen overnight.”

flux of between 11,000 and 14,000 bikes on campus every day, leading to the change and break-even philosophy of the service.

“We aren’t looking to make any money,” said Heineking of the bike service, which funds its mostly student workers through the $10 punch cards.

He did note that “there (are) a lot of reasons we need to raise money where we can” for the funding of new parking garages for the coming years, a benefit to the addition of credit card capable parking meters around campus.

The other main item of the

ASUA meeting was the University Activities Board future emersion into the ASUA framework. The board, which partnered with ASUA for the successful concert featuring The Fray last year also hosted other campus events such as February 2009’s Katy Perry concert and March 2010’s Spike Lee speech, garners money from private sponsors as well as the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership and the Arizona Student Unions.

“We are really excited about this change,” said ASUA President Emily Fritze.

“We will have financial resources at our hands (and) we’ll still have jurisdiction over our money,” she added.

Fritze noted finalities of how the new entity will be funded which would be hashed out over the next year with full integration coming for the 2011-12 school year.

ASUA wants to format the new University Activities Board, under a new name and new student staff, similar to the ZonaZoo structure with an executive board, which has worked well in the past.

Coming up in ASUA • New appointment of a director for the Student Recreation Center, a board contributed to by Sen. Jeff Adams and Sen. Deanna Mariner.

OFF THE WIRE Mother sues hospital over accidental circumcision

Vera Delgado says she was shocked when she learned last month that her infant son, Mario Viera, was accidentally circumcised without her consent at South Miami Hospital when he was 8 days old.

“Oh, my God,” Delgado said.

“How could this happen?”

No male in her family has been circumcised for years, she said.

“I didn’t want this for him. I’m opposed to circumcision. They didn’t have the right to do it.”

The hospital has said it is “deeply sorry” and vowed to take steps to prevent the mistake from happening again, but Delgado says that’s not enough. She filed suit against the hospital Monday and a criminal battery report with South Miami police Wednesday.

The case of the accidental cir-

cumcision quickly created controversy: Delgado’s attorney was invited to speak at a national conference on crime victims and has been contacted by media as far away as the United Arab Emirates and anti-circumcision groups, including a local organization planning a demonstration at the hospital Friday.

“It’s a big deal,” Delgado said Wednesday, in her attorney’s office. “In the future, he’s going to ask why his dad is one way and he’s different.”

Jill Biden to host summit on community colleges

WASHINGTON — A firstever White House Summit on Community Colleges will take place next month as President Barack Obama tries to get more Americans motivated to learn new job skills.

The Oct. 5 summit, announced Wednesday, will pull together business leaders, philanthropists, government leaders, policymakers, college officials and students from around the country. Obama will use it in part to rally political support behind his proposal to increase federal spending for community colleges by $12 billion over 10 years.

Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden and a longtime community college instructor, will lead the summit. Biden holds a Ph.D. in education from the University of Delaware and teaches English at Northern Virginia Community College.

Biden said in a news release that community colleges “are a key part of our economic vision for the future,” and that she’s seen the value of such education firsthand.

The aims of the summit include

reducing status stigmas about community colleges as opposed to four-year universities, portraying community colleges as tools to keep the U.S. competitive globally and highlighting the stories of high-profile alumni with community college backgrounds.

Obama is looking to community colleges as a lifeline to escape a battered economy amid signs that the nation’s work force is insufficiently trained for the technological advances that are driving the global economy. His proposal to increase federal investments in community colleges is part of his effort to keep the U.S. competitive against China, India and other rising nations.

Accessibility of prescription pills aids and abets drug culture Alexandra Bortnik Arizona Daily Wildcat

O

ver the past decade, a disturbing increase in college students’ recreational use of prescription drugs including Xanax, Oxycodone, Adderall and Roxycodone, has raised concern among research organizations and campus administrators.

In 2009, a study in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence found that “20 percent of college students have improperly used pain meds, stimulants, sleeping pills or sedatives; 14 percent had taken painkillers recreationally.”

A contributing factor to the increase in students’ drug abuse is the availability of these drugs.

Some university campus health centers frivolously and irresponsibly prescribe anti-anxiety medications such as Xanax for supposed stress and Vicodin for minor throat pains or torn muscles, and their generosity doesn’t go unnoticed.

“Just now in my class, I was telling someone my throat hurts and they go, ‘Go to Campus Health, they’ll prescribe Promethazyne,” said UA junior Lesa Habif, though she said she didn’t know if that was true.

A Forbes Magazine report published Aug. 30 disclosed an example of a student from the University of Pittsburg, Barbara Ballard, who developed a yeast infection in her mouth “as a result of being on steroids and antibiotics at the same time. In too much pain to brush her teeth or eat anything but applesauce, Ballard was told by a campus clinician that she couldn’t possibly have a yeast infection and prescribed Vicodin without providing a diagnosis.”

While Vicodin and other prescription drugs have their uses, campus health centers’ nonchalant approach to signing away these pills lends to the false belief that these pills are similar to Tylenol or Advil. A sore throat doesn’t call for either two Tylenol or one Vicodin.

These pills fall in a different league and should not be so accessible.

The majority of students receiving these prescriptions will either use the drugs inappropriately or sell them to others who will use them inappropriately. Forbes reported,“ Among students, Xanax goes for $3 a pill, Vicodin $5,” while the stronger painkillers, including Roxycodone, “might reach $10 a pill, and ‘study drugs’ like Adderall are a cash crop during exam time.”

An additional danger stemming from the availability of these pills, aside from damaging one’s health, is the addictive habit of selling them. It’s a lot of cash, fast. When a student with strep throat receives 10 Vicodin pills from his or her campus health center, he or she is likely to distribute it.

“Last year, I was prescribed Vicodin for strep. I didn’t need it, and my first instinct was to sell it. I never followed through, but the easy cash was tempting,” said one UA student.

The temptation is major and economically ideal. The illegality of selling prescription drugs is well understood by students but difficult to truly comprehend when a friend asks to buy a pill from you for $3. The fact that you are committing a felony seems ludicrous when standing in your dorm room and exchanging a tiny capsule for a few bucks.

An anonymously written article on Collegemagazine.com tells the story of a freshman whose roommate was a drug dealer. The writer of the article, although disapproving and uncomfortable with his roommate’s habits, mentions that “(his roommate) had a good racket, getting laid by a different beautiful girl every night, money rolling in. He didn’t even have to go to class because he had ringers going and taking his tests for him in exchange for drugs.” The danger is that the temptation is clear when the consequences are not.

The reality that any given pharmacy makes it more difficult to purchase prescription drugs than most college campuses is an unsettling and contradictive one; students should feel better taken care of at their university health centers than at a CVS or Walgreens and shouldn’t have to question the medicine they receive. Universities should be sensitive to the fact that building a successful campus involves understanding not only the academic life but the social scene as well, regardless of its legality. Becoming aware of the excessively written prescriptions and abusive drug behavior on campus is one way to control this growing culture and potentially save students from ruining their grades, relationships, reputations and eventually their lives.

You could be on the machine long before I arrived and stay on after I left, and still be completely composed and focused on your exercise.

You had me departing the Rec Center hating myself. It was clear to me that in order to become skinny, I would have to compete with one. Once this semester started, I declared war. Knowing that I couldn’t be as glamorous as you, I aimed to be at your level of fitness.

Eager to get the competition started, I hopped on my machine, set the resistance level to 10 and began to do my thing. Once I got into the groove and was feeling good about myself, I looked over to your machine to see how I was doing. Who was burning more calories? Who had a higher resistance?

When I looked over, my only thought was to get off the elliptical and snap your

twig body in half. You played me. All of this time I thought you were some workout goddess, but really you were just a phony.

Setting your resistance level to 4 with no incline? You’ve got to be kidding me. All this time you had looked like you were on a walk in the park because you actually were. I don’t care how fast you pedal your legs; no resistance equals no muscle growth. Suddenly all my admiration and jealousy turned to disgust.

If you weren’t really working out, why go through the trouble of getting ready for the gym? I know it took you hours to get that messy bun just right. Rumor has it you even shower in preparation for the Rec. Was it to get a muscular gym rat? Take him — you two deserve each other. You can wear matching Nike athletic apparel you bought full price at Nordstrom and keep up your exercise façade. Really, your perfect companion is definitely some homeboy who doesn’t even have the decency to work out his legs. One day he is going to topple over (probably picking up a case of Muscle Milk at GNC) as a result of being completely top heavy, and even though you’ve been at the Rec every day, you won’t have the strength to lift even one

of his steroid enhanced arms. At this point, you’ll have the harsh realization that the joke is on you.

So please, do everyone a favor and the next time you are getting ready for the Rec: Don’t. This isn’t a Kim Kardashian workout video; no one wears make-up and jewelry to the gym. I get that you don’t have an ounce of fat on your body. You no longer need to wear your little sister’s volleyball shorts to get the point across.

Despite walking away with thick thighs and a sweat ring around my shirt, I would like to consider this discovery a small victory. While you’re gliding away, burning 20 calories an hour on the elliptical machine and fixing your hair every two minutes, I’ll be engaged in legitimate activity. You’ll see me — sweating, huffing and puffing, hair a mess, the day’s mascara under my eyes — but at least I can feel accomplished.

In the future, rather than going to the Rec, I think your time would be better invested eating a cupcake or something with high fat content. Mix in a cheeseburger. Real men like some curves anyway.

child abuse?

Legally, no, it’s not.

However, it is certainly poor parenting. If “all the time” refers to anything more than once a week, this is excessive.

If a parent establishes this extremely innutritious habit, then she sets the child up for failure from a health standpoint.

Is this child doomed? No. Is she more likely to be overweight, and incur the other health-related risks associated with being overweight? Yes. We can hope that this parent is choosing this course of child rearing out of either ignorance or convenience, but neither of these sources of justification makes her judgments immune to criticism.

These sorts of spectacles at local eateries and watering holes prove extremely disheartening. There is nothing wrong with occasional “treats” for children, as incentives for good behavior, or even just for fun, but a consistent indulgence that results in a life of unhealthy choices will lead to negative issues for the child in the future.

Too fast, too curious

I recently stumbled upon an article in the Tucson Weekly archives, mysteriously titled “How to Beat a Photo Radar Ticket!”

Though the article came from way back in 2007, the headline intrigued me. While the state of Arizona announced it would discontinue its photo radar program in July, the City of Tucson did not follow suit; its red light and speeding vans and cameras are still going strong.

At first glance, I was disgusted with the column. It cultivated within me distaste for the blatant disregard for personal responsibility staring me in the face. But then I slowed down.

The article actually pointed out the relevant fact that “tickets that are mailed to violators don’t meet (a) legal standard … the city has only 120 days to serve you, so if you can dodge the process server for about four months, the ticket is dismissed.” Neat.

The rest of the column suggested methods to trick the government into not fining you for breaking the law. Let me spell out my heavy-handed moralizing for you: If you’re willing to break the law, at least be willing to accept the consequences. Show a little character.

Parents of young children: skip the frappuccino

A good friend recently shared with me an occurrence she witnessed at Starbucks.

A mother ordered her 5-year-old a caramel Frappuccino. The employee responded, “Are you sure you don’t want to get her a hot chocolate or a tea?” The mother answered, “No. She gets it all the time. She loves them.”

My friend then posed the question: Is this

An inside look at Biosphere 2

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT One of the most striking areas of the Biosphere is the tropical equatorial rainforest, complete with 60-foot tall trees. “When most people stand here they can’t believe they’re walking in an area like this in Arizona,” John Adams, assistant director for Planning and Facilities at the Biosphere 2, said.

“It’s very different from the vegetation one has experienced or seen in the Biosphere up to this point.”

The Biosphere is looking to develop new ways to take advantage of its unique design. Valer Austin of Cuenca Los Ojos, left, and Laurence de Bure, of the Veolia Environmental Foundation, look into the future site of the “Landscape Evolution Observatory,” a new area that will allow Biosphere researchers the opportunity to evaluate how soil reacts on a geomorphologic level in newer, more complex ways than are possible now.

Scott Edwards, of Veolia Water North America, walks through one of the tunnels that comprise the “technosphere,” which Adams described as the technical underbelly of the Biosphere.

“Walking through here gives visitors the opportunity to see where some of the mechanical components that help maintain some of the environments you’ve had the opportunity to walk through,” he said.

Sitting at the farthest West point of the facility, the coastal fog desert is modeled after desert on the coast of Baja California.

This area features some common desert plants, including Joshua Trees, creosote bushes and Elephant Trees.

While walking through the Biosphere, tourists can walk along the beach of one of the only oceans in Arizona, all one million gallons of it. In this area known as the ocean-savannah corridor where visitors can simultaneously view two of the most diverse climates in the compound.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the Biosphere is the “lung,” a 40,000-pound variable volume air chamber that maintains proper air pressure throughout the compound and is itself kept a lot by differences in external and internal air pressures. “The lung it is really an engineering component that people can’t fathom,” Adams said. “It’s like nothing anybody has ever seen.”

“It is physics at its most ideal and visually appealing component,” he said.

The Biosphere was built in 1991 and the original Biosphere experiment lasted until 1993, exploring the interaction between humans and nature, as well as possible techniques that could be applied to space colonization.

The Biosphere is the world’s largest closed biological system.

It contains several climates including a savannah, a coastal desert, an ocean, and a tropical rainforest — with distinct flora from each region growing in controlled environments.

The UA took over management of the structure in 2007, transforming it into a science and research facility for students, faculty and fellows.

BB gun damage to windows at Sonoran Center

An unknown person damaged two single-pane glass windows, a metal blind and a storage unit at the Sonoran Center with a BB gun sometime between Friday and Monday.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was informed of criminal damage on Monday. A UA employee told UAPD that when she arrived for work at 8:00 a.m. that day, she and other staff members discovered the glass windows on the north side of the building had been broken. She also stated the last time she had seen the windows intact was on Sept. 10 and was unable to provide any further information.

The damage appeared to have been done by a BB gun. There were numerous high speed, cone-shaped impacts on the two 1-foot-by-2-foot single-pane glass windows. The interior of the window blind had six metal partitions damaged by the impacts. A metal storage unit in the room had one impact mark left on the door.

After checking the interior floor of the room, UAPD officers discovered a silver BB, which is commonly used in standard BB guns. Police found four more BBs directly below the broken glass windows on the ground.

At the northeast corner of the building, police also found a Crossman CO2 air cartridge, used for BB guns, a pile of silver BBs and a clear plastic baggie of marijuana.

The BBs were contained in a pile that appeared to have been spilled straight from the container.

An officer photographed the damage. He also took photos of the CO2 cartridge, the bag of marijuana and the pile of BB’s. The windows were repaired, and UA Custodial was contacted to clean the office area.

Technophobe on the loose

UAPD received a reference of suspicious activity at the School of Art, on Monday.

Upon arriving at the scene, a UAPD officer made contact with a UA employee who stated that she had received a suspicious voice message on her office phone.

She said that the message made references to slides that were often used in her department of education as visual teaching aids. She believes the messenger is offended that these slides are being thrown away since her department is now switching to digital teaching aids. There are over 300,000 of these slides, and they are approximately 8–by-11-inches in size and are colored in pink and blue.

The UA employee thought the caller must have gone through the dumpster and found some of these slides.

There were no direct threats in the voicemail message. The employee believes the male is probably in his 40s or 50s. A UAPD officer asked the employee to forward the message either to his office department cell phone or to UAPD e-mail.

Keeping abreast of your alcohol level

A UAPD officer was driving down a street on campus at around 12:05 a.m. when he noticed a woman stumble from the sidewalk curb onto the street. As the officer passed the woman, he noticed that she appeared to be very impaired and under 21 years old.

Since another vehicle was behind the officer, he could not stop the car and had to turn around in a parking lot nearby. When the woman saw the UAPD vehicle, she quickly ran across the street.

The woman’s breasts were exposed from the sides of her tank top, and her bra was around her waist. The officer made contact with her. She pulled up her bra upon request and put her breasts away.

As the officer was speaking to her, he observed that her speech was slurred. There was also a strong odor of intoxicants coming from her mouth. Her eyes were red, watery and bloodshot. The woman denied drinking and refused to answer any questions.

She was cited and released for minor in possession.

It’s not delivery, it’s DUI

driver was arrested for Extreme DUI, well as traffic violations, on Sept. 12.

As a traffic light near UA’s campus switched to red, a UAPD officer heard loud screeching brakes. The officer looked up and saw a silver car with the front end dipped down and the driver’s face against the steering wheel. Then the officer saw the car pull to a stop in a turning lane. The car rolled forward a few feet, then the driver slammed on the brakes again. His head fell forward again and hit the steering wheel.

Once the light turned green, the driver made a left turn. The officer followed him and noticed the driver go about a foot over the centerline at an intersection. He then pulled the vehicle over.

Upon making contact with the driver, the officer noticed the man driving was eating a pizza. More pizza was found all over the front passenger floorboard. The driver’s motions were slow, and his eyes were red and watery.

The officer asked the man if he had been drinking, to which he responded, “No.” He identified himself with an Arizona driver’s license and said that his wife had rented the car, thus he had no insurance or registration.

The man exited the vehicle after being asked to do so. As he closed the door, he lost his balance and his right shoulder hit the rear side door. He agreed to take a Field Sobriety Test.

Minutes later, he was arrested for a DUI of the slightest degree but was taken to UAPD to be processed by another officer. Following the results, additional charges of Extreme DUI were added because of the high level of his BAC or Blood Alcohol Content. The man was cited and released. His wife was contacted by UAPD, and she came to pick him up and take the vehicle. as

NEWS OFF THE WIRE of higher education in the U.S. today, enrolling more than 8 million students a year. Obama wants to boost community college graduation by 5 million students by 2020 as part of his drive for America to have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.

To promote the summit, the White House produced a video that features high-profile figures who attended community colleges, including consulting giant Accenture’s CEO, Bill Green, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and PBS news anchor Jim Lehrer.

continued from page 3 and for a split second stared into Associate Vice Chancellor Tom Vansaghi’s eyes.

“It was as if he looked at me and then said to himself, ‘No, you’re not the one I want,’” Vansaghi recalled.

The 22-year-old student — wearing black clothes and a bullet-resistant vest — darted past Vansaghi and lunged at Al Dimmitt Jr., stabbing the campus dean of instruction in the neck.

Dimmitt, 55, fell to the floor, his attacker on top of him.

Vansaghi and MCC Chancellor Mark James wrestled the knife away and pinned the attacker down. Students and staff raced to help. Some quickly turned to Dimmitt, using their hands and later paper towels to stem the flow of blood.

Dimmitt underwent surgery at an area hospital and was in stable condition later Tuesday.

Prosecutors charged Casey Brezik of Raytown with two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action.

Obama tells students to dream big, work hard in back to school address

President Barack Obama’s back-to-school welcome to the nation’s students created less controversy in North Texas this year as fewer parents objected to letting their children view the address and more districts made it available.

Obama spoke to students at an elite school in Philadelphia for about 20 minutes, and the speech was aired nationwide.

The president told students that “nothing — absolutely nothing — is beyond your reach. So long as you’re willing to dream big. So long as you’re willing

to work hard. So long as you’re willing to stay focused on your education.”

At Arlington’s Shackelford Junior High School on Tuesday, about 750 students viewed the address, either live or taped, depending on their lunch periods.

Only two parents requested that their children be exempt from watching, Principal Andy Hagman said. “It’s just part of the school day,” Hagman said.

“I have sensed no controversy about this at all.”

Students in Angelique Bell’s seventh-grade math class sat quietly during the address, though a couple of girls put their heads down on their desks as soon as the room darkened.

One of Obama’s talking points was that it is OK to be different.

“So, what I want to say to you today — what I want all of you to take away from my speech — is

that life is precious, and part of its beauty lies in its diversity,” Obama said. “We shouldn’t be embarrassed by the things that make us different. We should be proud of them. Because it’s the things that make us different that makes us who we are.”

Keller district students, too, watched Obama’s address with little fanfare or controversy.

All 32,000 students in the district had the chance to view the speech, either live or on tape.

A year ago, many Keller parents objected to their children watching the speech during the school day, and about 5 percent requested that their children opt out.

This year, few parents expressed concerns, spokeswoman Shellie Johnson said.

In John Keigley’s AP world history class at Fossil Ridge High School, students said Obama delivered a positive message.

DWsports Hanzlova finding her way Iowa yet Tim Kosch Sports Editor 520•626•2956 sports@wildcat.arizona.edu

Czech Republic native getting comfortable on, off court

By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat Marketa Hanzlova, a junior outside hitter from the Czech Republic, didn’t always picture herself coming to the United States. In fact, it was something the volleyball star just stumbled in to.

“I decided (to come to America) my last year of high school. My best friend was in America, and she said it’s amazing,” said Hanzlova.

“So I started to think about it, and then it just happened.”

According to Hanzlova, the coaching staff at the University of the Pacific, in Stockton, Calif.

– where she was originally committed – played a big factor in making the decision to move to the United States.

“I had many schools to choose from, but Pacific actually went to the Czech Republic so I had a chance to talk to the coach,” said Hanzlova on her recruitment.

“I could see the girls – talk to them, so that was something that helped my decision.”

As if moving to the other side of the globe wasn’t enough change to last Hanzlova her entire lifetime, the NCAA ruled that she would be ineligible to play immediately for Pacific.

Instead of sitting out for a year, she chose to attend Northern Idaho College – a two-year college in Coeur d’Alene.

“I had to choose a junior college, and a coach from Pacific knew a coach at Northern Idaho,” said Hanzlova. “That’s how I ended up in Idaho before coming here.”

Hanzlova excelled at Northern Idaho, finishing last season with 357 kills and 37 service aces, but like any other athlete leaving their home country to play a collegiate sport overseas, the biggest adjustment wasn’t on the court – it was off of it.

“It was a big change. Like at first it was language for sure – I didn’t speak English at all,” Hanzlova recalled. “And then volleyball was different, and school, and everything was different. It was a huge change.”

After making a huge culture adjustment, Hanzlova is now able to focus on what brought her to the U.S. in the first place – volleyball. Except there was just one more change in store.

After being ruled ineligible at Pacific when she first moved to America, Hanzlova decided to enroll at Arizona and become a Wildcat.

So far in 2010, she has racked

V-ball looks to stay sharp

As Arizona hosts its final tournament of the season, Texas State University, Pepperdine University and New Mexico State University will make the trip to the Old Pueblo to take part in the Arizona Invitational

by Lodge on the Desert over the weekend.

With No. 1 Stanford and the rest of the Pacific 10 Conference schedule looming next weekend, this will be the final tuneup that the Wildcats have before embarking into conference play.

“We have one more preseason tournament, which we’re all really excited about,” said senior Paige Weber. “We’re excited to start conference play, but at the same time it’s nice to have another chance to play and get some good game practice.

We definitely cannot overlook this weekend. There are three good teams that are coming in here and they want nothing more than to beat us on our V-BALL, page 9

Marketa Nazlova goes up for a spike during Arizona’s 3-2 win over Louisville on Sept. 3. Nazlova has taken a long path to get to Arizona, but her hard work is starting to pay off as she is becoming a key player for the Wildcats in 2010.

up 10 kills and 15 digs over 22 sets of play, and she is becoming a fixture in the rotation for head coach Dave Rubio.

“She’s been a great addition from the back row standpoint, and she’s helped us quite a bit,” said Rubio. “We’re seeing some good production out of her. I know she’s maybe a little bit frustrated and would like to play more front

row, but at this point this is how she’s going to contribute.”

She could be a key player on next year’s team, and Rubio thinks that time in a Division-1 strength and conditioning program could put her over the top as a player.

“She’s still a little behind from just an athletic standpoint – she’s just not as fast or explosive or can jump as high as we’d like her

to,” Rubio continued. “But that’ll come with time and strength.”

Hanzlova came to the United States to play volleyball, but she’s most excited about her education.

Even with all of the adjustments she’s had to make, she offered a surprising answer when asked if school has been tough.

“Not yet,” she said with a laugh.

“I know it will be, though.”

The difference between the Arizona offense that struggled at Iowa in 2009 and the No. 24 Wildcats that welcome the No. 9 Hawkeyes this Saturday night is simple – junior quarterback Nick Foles.

Last season, Iowa faced a sophomore playing in only his third collegiate game in a hostile Iowa City, Iowa, environment, and for only 15 minutes at that.

But 22 touchdowns, 3,420 passing yards and 364 days later, Iowa will be dealing with a fine-tuned offense featuring a legitimate leader under center.

“We came into this year with a little bit more of an identity with knowing Nick is going to be the starter,” said receiver and Foles’ roommate and close friend David Douglas.

“You can just definitely tell he’s got more confidence. All the guys are more behind him,” Douglas added. “He’s just really stepped into a leadership role. He’s got all the guys, all of us playing for him.”

On Sept. 19, 2009, the Hawkeyes took on an Arizona team that started a running quarterback – Matt Scott – and Kirk Ferentz’s squad knew little about his 6-foot-5, 245-pound backup.

Iowa only saw Foles for one quarter – during which he went 6-for-11 for 55 yards and a touchdown – but the Hawkeyes are now aware of the type of quarterback he’s become.

“He gets it out and spreads it around nicely,” Ferentz said in a teleconference call with the Tucson media. “Looks like he’s really comfortable and confident in the scheme. So that’s the most important thing.”

Comfort and confidence have been the key to Foles’ maturation.

He’s a completely different player than the sophomore who trotted onto the field a year ago. He’s better physically, mechanically and most important, mentally.

“He always kind of had a nice aura about him, but now it’s FOLES, page 10

Oyen guiding team forward New head coach earning players’ respect

By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat The Wildcat soccer team is at a crossroads.

At this point last season, Arizona had an identical record — 2-3-1 — through its first six matches en route to a disappointing 4-15-1 record.

But this year is different as the first-year head coach Lisa Oyen has rejuvenated the Arizona program with confidence and excitement about what the Wildcats can accomplish, despite what their record shows.

Arizona’s players have a certain bond with Oyen after seeing her stick with the program through thick and thin. Fifth-year senior Alex Davis spoke about how their new coach commanded respect as she understands what it means to go through the grind of a college soccer season, having gone through it in her own career.

“I think the players absolutely respect her because she did play soccer in college, and she knows the fitness and everything about the game that it takes to be a good college player,” Davis said. “We respect her that much more because of that reason. She knows us best.”

XC to host first meet of season

By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona cross-country will host its first and only meet of the season against ASU and Mesa Community College on Friday.

UA is coming off a strong start from their George Kyte Invitational performance. At the Kyte invitational, the women were able to take home first place and the. men snagged second place.

Head coach James Li did not run all of his top performers at the Kyte Invitational; instead, he took a chance to evaluate the new runners in his program. This, however, will not be the case on Friday.

“We will run everyone; anyone who can ran will run,” Li said. “In that regard, it will be different, but in terms of record this is almost like a NFL preseason game.”

According to Li, the team trained

of be a low key meet for us,” said assistant coach Erin Dawson.

“Then next week we will travel out to Minneapolis, Minn., for the Griek Meet that’s going to be when we start to go hard in terms of training.”

On the women’s side, incoming runner Elvin Kibet is already making waves in her first few weeks on the team. Kibet took first place at the George Kyte invitational, and the coaching staff has high hopes for the Kenya-born runner.

“She is fresh out of Kenya, and she is learning a lot of new things right now,” Dawson said. “The Flagstaff meet was her first cross-country meet ever. She has good leadership out of the older girls, and they are kind of showing her the way.”

Coach Li added that he expected her to be one of the top two or three runners on the women’s side by the end of the season.

Lauren Smith and Maggie Callahan lead the way during the Dave Murray Invitational on Sept. 18, 2009. The Wildcats host their first and only meet of the year this weekend.

Oyen leads team to Arizona Tournament

Arizona before landing the headcoaching gig in the middle of last season after the departure of former head coach Dan Tobias.

During her tenure with the Wildcats, Oyen was a part of the 2004 team that won the program’s first Pacific 10 conference title, and the 2005 squad that earned Arizona’s first ever Sweet 16 berth.

But from 2006-2009, the Wildcats finished the year with a losing record, so Oyen knows both sides of the coin.

Fifth-year senior Macke Mutz has seen the program’s changing of the guard having played for Arizona’s last two coaches, and she trusts Oyen to turn the program around knowing that she has stayed loyal to Arizona soccer through rough times.

“I think that’s what made the transition a lot easier is that (Oyen) did know the program, and she was there when the program was going through some issues and she’s here when we’re trying to come out of them too,”

well from the last meet and every runner is healthy and ready to go for today’s meet. The men’s team has had to replace a lot of talent after Mohamud Ige graduated, but the coaching staff feels like newcomer Stephen Sambu is ready to step into that role.

“I feel great,” Sambu said. “My training has been great — it’s not like the type of things I did while I was at Rend Lake.”

Sambu was arguably the best junior college runner in the country while he ran for Rend Lake Community College.

“He is looking good, he is training great,” Li said. “I guess we just have to wait and see how he runs at the meet.”

Li held Sambu out of the first meet at George Kyte because, to him, it was unnecessary for Sambu to run at that meet.

said senior Alex Davis. “I honestly think every single game has been a test, every practice is a test just to see how we come out.” Davis added.

Freshman success noticed The young freshmen Wildcats have been stepping up of late and showcasing the program’s future, and their contributions haven’t gone unnoticed.

TopDrawerSoccer.com released its College Freshman National Top 100 Women rankings for the week of Sept. 15, and three Wildcats made an appearance on the list: Jensen Skinner (57), Jazmin Ponce (81) and Kenzie Akerfelds (97).

When asked if it was important to see the freshmen show improvement early in the year, Oyen commented saying, “Absolutely, not just for the rest of the season but for years to come. They’ve showed a lot of maturity and I feel like a lot of them don’t have that freshman year where you look at them and say ‘oh she must be a freshman’.”

home court.”

Head coach Dave Rubio echoed Weber’s sentiment about getting better for conference play — although he expects his team to be tested by competition this weekend.

“This week is a big week — we’re playing some very good teams,” said Rubio. “Pepperdine is very good, very physical. New Mexico State is very big and physical, so it’s another opportunity for us to hopefully rise to the occasion and play a little bit better.”

Youth and inexperience have contributed to both of Arizona’s losses thus far in the 2010 campaign, but Weber remains excited with how far the newcomers have come.

“All of our new kids — freshmen and transfers — are really doing a great job for the team.

It’s really exciting when you have a team that is well balanced, and they add a lot of balance to the team,” she said. “It’s definitely showing in the games, and it’s really nice to have them step up right away.”

This will also be UA’s last chance to develop some consistency, which Rubio says has also been a key contributor to the Wildcat’s early losses.

“We’re suffering a little bit of not being insync as much as maybe we should be. The game is so unforgiving and there are so many momentum changes that can go either way,” said Rubio.

“Every week … we’re going to get a little better, and hopefully our consistency level will get better along with that.”

Entering the last weekend of non-conference play, the Wildcats are sitting at 7-2. Arizona is hitting at a .272 clip, and committing over 25 errors per match, both numbers that Rubio would like to see improve.

The Wildcats will open the tournament Friday at 12:30 p.m. against Texas State, and then host Pepperdine at 7 p.m. The tournament will wrap up with UA hosting New Mexico State at 12:30 on Saturday.

Reggie Bush gives up 2005 Heisman MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

LOS ANGELES — Former USC tailback Reggie Bush on Tuesday became the first athlete in the 75year history of the Heisman Trophy to forfeit the award, bowing to pressure from detractors in and around college football.

After five years of staunch denials about any wrongdoing, Bush acknowledged in a statement posted on the New Orleans Saints’ website that he made “mistakes” — though he didn’t specify what they were.

The player said that “persistent media speculation” he called “both painful and distracting” prompted his decision. He also said he hoped to work with organizers of the award to establish an educational program that would “assist studentathletes and their families (to) avoid some of the mistakes that I made.”

He added, “In no way should the storm around these allegations reflect in any way on the dignity of this award, nor on any other institutions or individuals.”

The Heisman is presented annually to college football’s top player.

It ranks among the most famous accolades in all of sports. Bush came under pressure to return the famed bronze statue this summer after NCAA found he had received cash and gifts — including free rent for his family — from two would-be agents while at USC. The finding came after a fouryear investigation into USC’s athletic program and resulted in the school being hit with severe penalties that could cost it substantial revenue in future tickets sales and donations. In addition, popular head coach Pete Carroll left to take over the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks and the athletic director was replaced, leaving a once-proud department scrambling to recover.

USC had already distanced itself from its former star, new university President C.L. “Max” Nikias ordering that a copy of Bush’s 2005 award be removed from the athletic department lobby and returned to New York.

Foles continued from page 8

Year two of Nick Foles hopes to yield better results against the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2010

backed up with a lot of game experience,” said outside receivers coach David Nichol. “So just confidence and knowledge of our system and a quarterback can’t put a price tag on that.”

This time around when Iowa and Arizona collide, there’s no doubt as to which arm will lead his team down the field. Foles has 22 more games under his belt, including a trip to the Holiday Bowl.

He’s more experienced, smarter and more comfortable. “(I’ve) just matured as a quarterback, just on the field, leadership, fundamentals, everything,” Foles said.

“Reading coverages, understanding why I’m throwing here and there,” he continued, “that’s what happens when you have time.”

Foles always had the size and potential to develop into a top-notch college quarterback, but after some seasoning, work with new quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo and newly appointed leadership, the junior has becomethe real deal — a player that the Hawkeyes truly haven’t seen yet.

“I definitely think we got some new stuff to show them, got some

better timing, a faster pace,” said receiver Juron Criner. “I feel like we definitely got something new to bring to the table this year.”

That “something new” comes in the form of a much more matured and confident Foles. However, the Austin, Texas, native will have his hands full against what he called, “one of the best d-lines in the country.”

Although he racked up 574 yards and three touchdowns through two games, completing 83.3 percent of his passes with a quarterback rating of 174.77, it’s all but guaranteed those numbers won’t continue against Iowa.

Despite Iowa’s stout defense, there’s no question Foles will be prepared come Saturday night.

“He’s one of the hardest workers you’ll meet,” Douglas said, “and he’s preparing and doing all the right things.”

SIDEBAR: Nick Foles stats 2009 Iowa game: 6-for-11, 55 passing yards, TD 2009 stats after Iowa game: 2,378 passing yards, 17 TD, 8 INTs 2010 stats: 574 passing yards, 3 TDs, INT, 83.3 completion percentage, 174.77 quarterback rating

ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals have lost the tune to the win-theseries mantra they’ve been chanting, and as their season unravels there is something more distressing than just a slow fade from the postseason race.

A winning record is no longer a given.

The Chicago Cubs completed

an unceremonious sweep of the capsizing Cardinals with a 7-3 victory Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. A taut game ruptured in the seventh as rookie Tyler Colvin clobbered Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter with a three-run homer to vaporize the Cardinals’ only lead of the series. Colvin’s 20th homer of the season gave the Cubs their first three-game series sweep in St. Louis since June 1988,

Quarterback Nick Foles under center during Arizona’s 52-6 win over The Citadel on Saturday. Foles, who entered the 2009 game against Iowa in the fourth quarter, will have much more of an impact against the Hawkeyes this year.

when Colvin was a few months shy of his third birthday.

“We’re struggling,” manager Tony La Russa said. “The scores weren’t really close (in the series). That’s troubling. We’re all troubled.”

Carlos Zambrano outdueled Carpenter for a second time in five weeks and improved to 6-0 at Busch Stadium in his career.

On Aug. 14, Zambrano downed the Cardinals and Carpenter for his first win since a late-summer return to the rotation. That was his new beginning, and the beginning of the Cardinals’ end.

The Cardinals were in first place before that game, and they’ve lost 21 of their next 30 to nose-dive to eight games behind divisionleading Cincinnati. Any combination of losses or Reds victories that equals 10, and the Cardinals are eliminated from the pursuit.

The Cardinals, at 74-70, are only four games better than .500 for the first time since May 16.

They are closer to a losing record than they are the Reds, and thirdplace Houston is closing.

The Cardinals must win eight of their final 18 to earn a winning 2010.

of the Cubs’ dugout when trying to back up third base and was removed from the game with a hamstring cramp that he later described as gone. He allowed four runs on five hits in the decisive inning.

The Cubs rang four extra-base hits off Carpenter in the span of six batters to overcome the Cardinals’ 2-1 lead. The other hit Carpenter allowed in the inning could have been an out before third baseman Felipe Lopez hesitated on his throw. Aramis Ramirez hit a double down the right-field line to start the damage and then, as it did Tuesday night against Adam Wainwright, the bottom of the Cubs’ order bruised the Cardinals’ ace. No. 7 hitter Colvin raked a full-count curveball into the right-field seats for a three-run shot and a 4-2 lead.

“I was throwing the ball well,” Carpenter said. “We were on our way again (to a win) … That’s what baseball is all about. I threw the pitch I wanted to throw (to Colvin). It was a good pitch. And he hit it out.”

No. 8 Koyie Hill cracked a double and pinch-hitter Micah Hoffpauir followed with a double that chased Carpenter from the game. Ramirez added a tworun homer in the eighth to cause an exodus of the 41,143 fans to the exits.

aftermath of the NCAA sanctions, Nikias also replaced longtime athletic director Mike Garrett with Pat Haden, a former USC quarterback and Rhodes scholar.

Haden on Tuesday called Bush’s gesture “noble” and his decision “thoughtful.” He also said he hoped the NCAA would someday allow USC to renew its relationship with Bush.

As for the running back’s legacy at USC, Haden said, “Reggie Bush was a fantastic football player. I mean, nobody can deny that, one of the most exciting guys to play here. One of the most fun guys to watch play here. By his own admission today, he made some mistakes … We’ve returned our Heisman, he’s returned his, and that’s about all we can do.”

Bush’s announcement coincided with a Tuesday afternoon meeting of the Heisman Trust in New York, the eight-member board scheduled to discuss whether to revoke the award.

Heisman voters are instructed that candidates must be in compliance with NCAA rules.

The trust had no comment Tuesday, a Heisman spokesman said. There was no indication of whether the award would be vacated or given to former Texas quarterback Vince Young, who finished second in the 2005 voting.

The allegations against Bush came to light in 2006, but the NCAA’s investigation dragged on for several years with Bush refusing to cooperate for most of that time.

Investigators ultimately concluded that he had taken improper benefits from the San Diego sports marketers who hoped to represent him after he turned professional. Bush’s family had lived without paying rent in a home owned by one of the marketers.

The marketers filed civil lawsuits against Bush, who eventually settled each of the cases out of court.

The NCAA probe also found wrongdoing by former Trojans basketball player O.J. Mayo and women’s tennis player Gabriela Niculescu.

Citing a lack of institutional control by athletic department officials, the NCAA placed USC on probation. Included in a long list of penalties, the football team was banned from playing in bowl games for two seasons and stripped of 30 scholarships over three years.

The Trojans were also forced to vacate their final two victories from the 2004 season — which could jeopardize their national championship — and all 12 of their wins from the 2005 campaign.

USC has appealed some of the penalties.
