Tucson bars implement new sexual safety policies

Pride’s out, proud, at ASUA Funding request to benefit ‘Coming Out Week’

Strange, the violence prevention specialist for the UA Oasis Program Against Sexual Assault .

“I think we all need to be very aware of where our boundaries are at,” Strange said. “If your inner-voice is telling you something doesn’t feel right, say something.”

Music composition senior Lori Richardson said she experienced harassment while at a bar.

“It was in L.A., and the bartender didn’t know how to handle it,” Richardson said.

“It was a guy from Ireland. It was just making me mad how he kept insinuating going home with him. He put his hand on my leg.”

Richardson said the bartender eventually stepped in to ask if she was uncom-

Pride Alliance is coming out to ASUA Senate – to request funding for Coming Out Week in early October.

Pride, the student government’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Questioning advocacy group, creates a fullspread ad of volunteering students with their names, majors and ‘LGBTQ status’ to commemorate Coming Out Week in campus media forums, like the Arizona Daily Wildcat.

“It’s pretty big,” said Kira Johnson , one of two co-directors for Pride Alliance. A sophomore studying English, Johnson noted the initiative to commemorate the official start of Coming Out Week on Oct. 8, is one of many steps the organization is taking to drum up awareness.

Their funding request is for the partial advertisement cost of $500.

The funding request, along with the weekly confirmation of Monday’s consent agenda funding which approves club funding from ASUA’s recognized clubs, are two of three action items at Wednesday’s ASUA senate meeting.

The third item up is a presi-

The Surly Wench Pub and three other Fouth Avenue bars have partnered with the Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault to start the Nightlife Safety Project. Participating bars and clubs agree to adopt a zero-tolerance policy for unwanted sexual aggression. If patrons are being harassed, they can ask bar staff for assistance.

Participating Bars:

Many women think being harassed at bars comes with the territory.

The Nightlife Safety Project , a program through the Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault , is recruiting Tucson bars to take a zero-tolerance stance against harassment .

“Sexual aggression predicts sexual assault,” said Rowan Frost , project supervisor for the Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault. “You need to look at the social norms that promote the behavior.”

Frost said she thought up the program after hearing from a friend who worked at a gay bar where 60 percent of the clientele were straight women.

“Why do straight women go to gay

bars?” Frost said. “So they won’t be harassed.”

Program developers surveyed a small group of women and found 88 percent of women had experienced unwanted sexual aggression at bars and 44 percent experienced physical aggression, according to Frost.

The definition of harassment varies from person to person, according to Erin

Sun powers crosswalk Solar-powered lights offer protection to pedestrians crossing on Mountain Avenue by letting drivers see section up to 3,000 feet away

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After noticing that several crosswalks on campus weren’t well-lit, Parking and Transportation Services decided to fix the problem.

They formed a partnership with Electric Supply Company and SolarPath Sun Solutions Inc. and installed a solar crosswalk on First Street and Mountain Avenue .

“As far as we know, we are the only university in the country that is experimenting with these solar crosswalks,”

said Mark Napier, associate director of operations at Parking and Transportation Services.

The university did not fund the crosswalk; all 18 lights lining the crosswalk were donated by Electric Supply Company and SolarPath Sun Solutions Inc., and the labor was donated by UA Facilities Management.

“They were glad to do it.

They said ‘oh sure yeah’,” said Bill Davidson , marketing and communications manager at Parking and Transportation CROSSWALK, page A3

business sophomore What’s with the double backpacks? You have two identical backpacks on. Why? It’s for Campus MovieFest. I was in two groups, so I have to take both backpacks back and return them.

Tell me about the movie you made.

Oh, well I don’t want give away too many dirty details but inside scoop — on the down low — it’s about people in life and how they are connected in more ways than they know, and it’s about five minutes (long). It’s kind of cool; you should definitely check it out.

That sounds really deep. Did you draw on personal experience for that?

No, no I just edited it.

My friend actually came up with the story. They shot it and then gave me all the footage, which I edited.

Interesting … is there a particular movie that you could relate your own life to, since we are on the topic of films?

“Twilight.”

Why? You’re totally an Edward Cullen aren’t you?

I was thinking more Team Jacob.

Whoa, that’s my team.

Anyway, why?

Werewolves, I don’t know they just turn me on, what can I say?

How do you feel about Bella?

Oh, she’s too pasty for my taste. Get a little tan going and we’ll talk about it.

Is there a girl in your life that is kind of like a Bella to you? Maybe like a best friend who you wish was something more?

I’d have to go with my best friend Shawn Sidwell’s girl.

Since you are into films, what are you feeling about “The Social Network,” which comes out on Friday?

People probably don’t know but David Fincher, he’s the director, directed “Fight Club,” “Seven” and “Benjamin Button”; he’s a beast. It’s going to be good, for sure. I mean, who doesn’t like Facebook …

Obviously. Justin Timberlake is in it, so that’s an added bonus.

Justin Timberlake is my boy; sing, dance, act — he is quite the man.

Isn’t he gay in the movie coming up?

He might be. I am still going to see it. He is the bomb, like your shoes.

So you’d prefer a girl wearing sneakers to a girl wearing heels?

Oh yeah — heels just make you look like you’re uncomfortable with your height, and Dunks just say ‘I don’t care and I’m here to party.’

Munich toasts 200th anniversary of Oktoberfest It’s a wedding party that got out of control: Two hundred years ago, Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig I celebrated his royal nuptials with a big public bash that was such a hit it became an annual event — and came to be known worldwide as “The Oktoberfest.”

His bride, Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, gave her name to the Theresienwiese festival grounds upon which the event welcomes more than 6 million people a year for towering mugs of beer, oompah music and bright traditional costumes.

“I was made for this festival. I love it,” crowed Meagan Aylward from Charlotte, North Carolina, while holding a mug of frothy

Oktoberfest beer.

The “Wiesn” — as Oktoberfest is locally known — was put on hold for various reasons during its 200-year history, including the two World Wars, the FrancoPrussian war and cholera epidemics. That makes this year the 177th edition.

“The Wiesn has been part of my life ever since I started thinking,” said Friedrich Steinberg, whose family has operated one of the tents on the 77-acre (31-hectare) festival grounds in the center of Munich for 31 years.

“When we started having this tent, it was nowhere near so crowded, there were no days when you were forced to close the entrance” said

the 40-year-old, who normally runs a downtown restaurant. Today, it’s common for the tent to fill up shortly after it opens at 9 a.m., he said.

Oktoberfest usually runs 16 days, but this year’s festival started Saturday and will run through Oct. 4 — a day longer than usual after the Munich city council made an exception for the 200th anniversary.

The city also set up a special area with an exhibition of Oktoberfest history — replete with period costumes — as well as a beer tent serving a special brew, the “Jubilee Beer,” for which Munich’s six normally competing breweries joined forces in a historic beer truce.

Study finds increase in crashes after states enact texting bans McClatchy Newspapers PHILADELPHIA — Could state bans on texting actually be boosting accident rates?

That was the disturbing suggestion of a study presented Tuesday at a highway safety conference.

The surprising finding came from the insurer-sponsored Highway Loss Data Institute, whose researchers examined crash data from four states in the months before and after they enacted texting bans.

Rather than reduce collision losses, bans on texting appeared to trigger a small uptick in crashes in three of the four states, said Russ Rader, a spokesman for the industry group and its parent group, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The researchers said the study raised a question: If the laws simply didn’t help, why was there a rise in crashes?

NIGHTLIFE continued from page 1

Adrian Lund, president of the institutes, said the problem may be that drivers are suffering a dual distraction — first by the texting itself, and second by attempts to avoid being noticed.

“Clearly drivers did respond to the bans somehow,” Lund said in a statement. “What they might have been doing was moving their phones down and out of sight when they texted, in recognition that what they were doing was illegal.”

He said the result could be that drivers turned their “eyes further from the road and for a longer time.”

Rader said the data showed a particular rise in crashes among young drivers — the same 18- to 24-year-olds who surveys show “are most likely to text while driving.” About 30 states have totally banned texting while driving.

The Highway Loss Data Institute study came on the

fortable.

Frost said the Nightlife Safety Program is geared toward women ages 21 to 24 who have recently entered the bar scene. According to Frost, these women may not be able to tell men to “buzz off” as easily as older women.

Participating bars first adopted a zero-tolerance policy toward sexual aggression; next, program coordinators led a one-hour training session for bar staff.

The training session teaches staff how to handle sexual aggression. Frost said many bartenders and bouncers are aware of problems, but do not know when to step in.

The program asks bar staff to interfere if there is an obvious problem.

“And also give women a chance to solve the problem on their own,” Frost said.

Richardson said she goes to bars on Fourth Avenue and thinks the program will be beneficial.

“But then again, if you’re a girl going to a bar you should expect it, and you need to be careful,” Richardson said.

Andrew Ryan, an employee at the Sky Bar on Fourth Avenue, said the bar joined the Nightlife Safety Project “without hesitation.”

“It was a no-brainer thing to do,” Ryan said.

Univ. of Texas-Austin gunman dead, police seeking second suspect

heels of separate research that showed the growing dangers of texting while driving.

A study published last week in the American Journal of Public Health put some stark numbers on the risks of texting, which it said had apparently contributed to “an alarming rise in distracted driving fatalities.”

The study by University of North Texas researchers estimated that texting caused 16,000 U.S. fatalities from 2001 to 2007 in crashes that “increasingly involved male drivers driving alone in collisions with roadside obstructions in urban areas.”

Earlier studies by the insurance industry and others have shown that drivers’ cell phone use quadruples accident risks.

Rader said the challenge was devising the right policy response.

“If you have a disease and the medicine isn’t working, you look for another treatment,” Rader said.

the gunman, he said.

During an earlier news conference late Tuesday morning, Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell commended the combined efforts of campus and local officials for containing the crisis without any injuries or other fatalities.

“It was a good response,” Dahlstrom said at the news conference. “We’re very fortunate that no one else was injured other than the lone gunman.”

Authorities did not have a motive, Dalhstrom said. Investigators searched the perimeter to eliminate the possibility of a second suspect and to determine if the gunman had planted explosives on the campus.

Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo confirmed reports that the gunman killed himself and said that no shots were fired by law enforcement.

“The students did their part,” Acevedo said. “They cleared the streets and the grounds in a very quick manner.”

McClatchy Newspapers AUSTIN — The UT-Austin campus was closed for much of Tuesday morning after a male student, dressed in black and carrying an AK-47, fired several shots and then killed himself in the PerryCastaneda Library.

“The shooter is dead on the sixth floor of Perry-Castaneda Library,” Don Hale, a UT spokesman, told the Austin American-Statesman.

“No identification. Apparently took his own life.”

The Travis County medical examiner’s office Tuesday afternoon identified the student as Colton Tooley, 19, of Austin, the Statesman reported. Tooley was a sophomore math major from Austin, according to the medical examiner.

At a midday news conference, UT Police Chief Robert Dahlstrom said authorities ruled out the possibility of a second gunman after a search of the campus. Fears of a second suspect emerged in part because of conflicting descriptions of

“I’d say we were already pretty aware,” Ryan said. “This is a nice thing to make it official and make sure patrons know we’ve done this.”

The program is advertised with a sign on the sidewalk and a plaque inside the bar.

Ryan said the bar staff will also verbally convey the zero-tolerance stance to customers.

Strange said the presence of the program may make women more comfortable reporting problems.

“Maybe some women wouldn’t have thought of that before,” Strange said. Frost has recruited five bars for the program so far and hopes to add more. She said coffee shops have also approached her about participation.

“I love the idea of it becoming a community project,” Frost said.

Students appreciate energy efficiency

Services.

Using a solar panel to charge a capacitor during the day, the lights can stay lit for 16 hours at a time before needing to recharge.

Viewable from 3,000 feet away, Napier has already observed drivers reacting to the lights.

Napier said the lights create a subtle flashing light that naturally causes drivers to slow down and pay attention.

The lights are embedded in the asphalt and are flat against the street, so you might not even see them during the day, Napier said.

“The reaction so far has been very good, we’ve talked to students and staff and I think people are pleased that we are testing this out and taking steps to light up the crosswalk,” Davidson said. “The nice thing about it is that people who are into solar like it because it is entirely charged by the sun.”

Because the idea is fairly new, Parking and Transportation is waiting a year to watch how the lights function before investing in more.

“We’re going to see how the lights work over time.

That’s the part we really don’t know; these lights should have a service life between eight and 15 years,” Napier said Nicole DiBene, an undecided freshman, said she had noticed that many of the UA crosswalks were not well-lit and thought the solar crosswalk was a good idea, especially because it is more energy efficient.

New crosswalks are not the only recent solar endeavor from Parking and Transportation Services.

“In addition to this we also put solar lights on some of our bike paths, where bike paths cross through streets particularly on the Highland corridor,” Napier said.

These lights aren’t subtle like the crosswalk, but very bright according to Napier.

Parking and Transportation purchased 18 of those lights for around $70 a piece.

“We do a whole lot more in Parking and Transportation than write parking tickets,” Napier said.

Questions and Answers On Academic Advising

Sponsored by the Advising Resource Cener

Q. Dear Advisor: What is full-time status, and am I required to enroll full-time each semester? I dropped a class last week and now I’m enrolled in only 9 units; is that a problem?

- Full of Questions A. Dear Full of Questions: Full-time status for an undergraduate student requires a course load of at least 12 units per semester, and some scholarships require more units. The University of Arizona does not require you to be enrolled full-time. However, there are some circumstances that require full-time enrollment.

•Many scholarships require that you complete 30 units each academic year as that keeps you on track to graduate in 4 years.

•If you receive federal financial aid for full-time enrollment, check to find out if you need to submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress appeal to retain your financial aid.

Questions about financial aid and scholarships can be directed to the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid, Administration 208, 621-1858.

•If you live in a residence hall you must be enrolled full-time. Refer to your Undergraduate Housing License Agreement for instructions on what you must do to stay in the dorm if you drop below full-time status.

•Does your parents’ health insurance policy require you to be enrolled as a full-time student? Ask your parents to check with their insurance agent about the company’s rules regarding student enrollment.

•If you are a member of a sorority or fraternity, check the chapter’s policies to find out if you can maintain active status for the semester if you drop below full-time enrollment.

•If you are an international student with F-1 status, you must be enrolled full-time. Contact the Office of International Student Programs and Services at 915 North Tyndall Avenue, 621-4627, to learn the policies about dropping units.

Finally, it is always wise to discuss the impact of dropping a class with your academic advisor.

Q. Dear Advisor: I’m doing fine in 3 classes but I’m afraid I will fail math even though I have been getting tutoring. My parents told me not to drop the math class because if I do I won’t have full-time status. What should I do?

- Concerned about Credits Dear Concerned about Credits: Whether you drop the math class or fail it, you will not earn any credits for the class. A failing grade will lower your grade point average, and if your GPA falls below 2.0 you will be on academic probation. Clearly failing a class is worse than dropping it. You missed the Sept. 17th drop deadline. The last day to drop with a grade of W is Oct. 15, and the instructor’s signature on a Change of Schedule form is required. If you are failing the class, the instructor has the option of awarding an E grade instead of a W, so it is important that you speak to the instructor immediately about any concerns.

If you are concerned that you won’t be able to graduate on time, meet with your academic advisor to discuss options for earning units in summer, winter session, through distance learning or at a community college.

If you must add units this semester, ask your advisor about options such as correspondence courses, late start classes at UA (listed in the Schedule of Classes under the Dynamically Dated Session option) or at Pima Community College.

Palin reloads, aims for Giffords Nyles Kendall

W

Arizona Daily Wildcat

ith an endorsement record that now rivals those of many established Washington politicians, Sarah Palin has re-launched her “Take Back the 20” campaign. Its aim — pun intended — is to unseat Democratic incumbents who supported last year’s health care reform package H.R. 3200, often referred to by Republicans as “Obamacare.”

Earlier this year, Palin drew sharp criticism for featuring a map on her web page riddled with crosshairs targeting Democrats in vulnerable congressional districts.

Tucson’s Gabrielle Giffords is among the 20 Democratic incumbents whom Palin intends to use for target practice.

Giffords and her Republican challenger Jesse Kelly are now neck and neck, according to the latest polls. Palin’s endorsement of Kelly came as a surprise to many.

Kelly made headlines last month for a highly critical, off-the-record statement about the former governor-turnedcelebrity: “Endorsing people because they’re going to win, because you want to be on the right side of a Senator, is not the kind of political courage that’s going to take this country back.”

Despite Kelly’s obvious aversion to Palin and her brand of politics, he has accepted her endorsement with open arms. “We are honored to have the support of Governor Sarah Palin,” Kelly’s campaign said in a written statement.

Kelly’s photo is now prominently displayed on Palin’s “Take Back the 20” website, just below the crosshair-covered map titled “We’ve diagnosed the problem. Help us prescribe the solution,” a chilling innuendo.

Like the rest of the Republican Party, Kelly knows better than to be on the wrong side of a Palin endorsement. Her numbers don’t lie. Palin is 7-2 for Senate endorsements, 7-6 for House endorsements and 6-3 for endorsements of gubernatorial candidates. Her record of success has shocked even her harshest opponents.

But Palin still remains a blank page on a range of issues regarding the economy, defense and energy. Rather than touring the country giving paid speeches, she should channel her energy into articulating substantive policy positions.

While she tears down established and politically relevant politicians around the country, Palin has yet to prove that she is even worthy of holding higher office.

And her disdain for H.R. 3200 and Democrats, like Gabrielle Giffords who had the integrity to vote for the legislation, is purely manufactured.

If Palin truly cared about rectifying the problems inherent to this country’s forprofit health care system, one that she and the Republican Party seem intent on preserving, she would dedicate her time and money to lending a helping hand to the estimated 50.7 million uninsured Americans rather than using her celebrity status to ensure the nomination of a handful of Republican nobodies.

Too busy profiting from the speaking engagements that have earned her upwards of $12 million since she quit her job as Alaska’s governor, Palin fails or simply refuses to realize that her youngest son Trig, who suffers from Down syndrome, stands to benefit from H.R. 3200. The legislation bars health insurance providers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions.

After her reality show “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” premieres on TLC this November, Palin should take a trip on over to the nearest free clinic and get a taste of what reality is really like for those that are uninsured.

Palin’s “Take Back the 20” campaign, like her endorsement of Jesse “soft as jelly” Kelly, is nothing more than a pathetic attempt to inject herself into the political discourse and line her pockets.

Sarah Palin needs to catch a sleigh ride back to Wasilla, Alaska where she can complete her unfinished term as the state’s governor and keep her nose out of Arizona’s politics.

Take back the night … from vampires Johnny McKay Arizona Daily Wildcat

H

ey you! Yes you. Read this column. You’ll be glad you did, and I guarantee it’s more interesting than your professor, the person across from you at Cactus Grill or this week’s crazy, pious Mall preacher.

Now that we have that out of the way, today we are going to discuss vampires (tween girls squeal). Did you hear that inner-parenthesis sound? That is because vampires, tragically and inexplicably, have become the number one 8- to 14-year-old girl demographic creature to fawn over, second only to other repulsive supernatural creatures such as Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers.

This is a travesty, and I’ll tell you why.

Vampires used to occupy their niche in the universe as one of the most marvelously cruel creatures in folklore’s entire repertoire. They were cold-hearted, self-centered and pure evil incarnate. From Nosferatu, who had the sex appeal of Gak©, to the original Dracula, these vamps were malicious creatures who were bent on nothing but the excessive consumption of human blood, and who definitely did not sparkle, glitter or razzle-dazzle. Any sexual attraction to them was not rewarded with a loving relationship that transcended time and base tans, but was instead answered with a quick dental insertion into the neck.

Vampires were the ultimate antagonists

— scary, immortal, but not without a few arbitrary weaknesses that the hero could exploit. Then, “Twilight” happened.

Because of this phenomenon, we now find ourselves confronted with a new breed of vampire — the kind that shares bedroom walls with posters of “Gilmore Girls” and unicorns, and whose “evil” actions are about on par with the bully in an after-school special. Their hypnotizing ways don’t hide a bloodthirsty ulterior motive, but in fact, an eternal need to know you. Their crucial weaknesses? Dismissed.

These new vampires have become a blight on the entire media universe, and if you have a TV, Internet or jugular vein (if not, seek medical attention), I am sure you have seen some manifestation of them.

It won’t be long until we reach complete media oversaturation with the subject. You’ll be able to note this watermark for yourself, right about the time of the first vampire weight-loss reality TV Show: (Freakishly over-groomed trainer: “Lestat, you have to give up O-Negative this week!” Obnoxious fat vampire: “I can’t!”). I’m sure all inherent, sun-borne vampiric weaknesses will be dismissed soon as well, just so that the creatures can take part in GTL. So what does this mean? It means we need to cut our losses. Vampires have been de-monsterlated, and our only hope

is to try again with another creepy-crawly on which we latch our love and affection.

Who are the prime candidates? Well, for starters, the Swamp Monster is a creature that has long been forgotten by the modern media world. However, as appealing as the thought of Robert Pattinson covered in slime at the bottom of swamp is, I just don’t think they can make the grade, as webbed flippers don’t really have the same hack and slash value as fangs or claws.

Maybe ectoplasm blobs? Their lack of ripped abdominals, or any discernable body at all, makes them prime candidates for not being worshipped and warped by the love of tween girls, a plus in my book.

They are heavily susceptible to backpackmounted vacuum cleaners though, and this household appliance aversion might detract from their overall menace.

So then, the task of being new big monster on campus must belong to … gnomes. A choice out of left field perhaps, but it’s hard to deny that there is something incredibly creepy about little bearded men who stand in your lawn and watch your house. Their facial hair and fashion sense will at least align them with a different demographic — hipsters — and any sexualization would be a boon to those of short stature.

I’m ready to start this movement as soon as possible to overthrow the “Twilight” vampire media monopoly, so you’ll be able to find me on campus wearing my “Team Grimblespout” shirt loudly and proudly.

Join me.

SOUNDBITES In honor of Banned Books Week, Daily Wildcat editors describe how banned books shaped their lives.

‘The Giver’ that kept on giving

For most of my childhood, Lois Lowry’s tour de force “The Giver” was my favorite book. “The Giver” is one of the most frequently banned books in elementary and middle schools because parents misread it as encouraging suicide and euthanasia. And, like most banned books, it’s chock-full of goodies like sexual awakening and revolution against the status quo — all the things that make literature worthwhile.

I had read it several times by the time my sixth grade English teacher assigned it. After the first chapter, the class was hooked. But just as the book got really good, a few parents got wind of its content and demanded that we stop reading it immediately.

Rather than quash our desire to finish the book, this censorship just fanned the flames. We read, covertly but avidly, finding new layers with which to identify now that we, like the novel’s protagonist, were living outside the law. We identified with his struggle against the crushing sameness of his culture, his desire to discover what more was out there but being kept from him. Needless to say, we

all finished the book.

Perhaps the best thing parents can do to encourage reading is ban books.

Nothing makes young people more eager to read than knowing someone doesn’t want them to.

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

‘Bridge’ to adulthood

It seems that most banned books fall into one of two categories. Either A) they address some aspect that runs divergent from what is deemed acceptable in society or B) they use profanity. Because lord knows that your little darling couldn’t possibly read the n-word in “Huckleberry Finn” in context, but sure can see the greater value of letting them bump Lil’ Jon or Rihanna.

My favorite banned book, and one of my favorite books of all time, is “Bridge to Terabithia,” by Katherine Paterson.

“Bridge to Terabithia” is a John Newbery Medal winner (a common theme among banned books, it seems) that examines the life of an artistic, but fearful and depressed boy named Jess, and how it is changed by the imaginative, exuberant and off-kilter Leslie. It is a poignant coming-of-age tale, brilliantly penned

by Paterson, one of the few writers who

can effectively write about kids without either talking down to them or blowing their problems out of proportion (cough … Stephenie Meyer … cough).

That’s all well and good, but what’s the dirty secret? Where exactly does this “bridge” lead to, communism?

In fact, the reason this book was banned is because — major spoiler — Leslie dies near the end. Parents, apparently, don’t want little Timmy or Suzie learning about the reality of death until they deem it necessary.

I love this book. In fact, I still have a copy of it that I “accidentally” swiped from my school library when I was in second grade. It’s deep without being preachy, poignant without being overbearing, and as timeless a work of children’s literature as there is in the United States. To ban a book for something so trivial as a person dying is like banning a book because there’s witchcraft … uh … because there’s one scene where a person is barely seen undressing … um … because it deftly challenges societal norms … huh?

Bottom line: Read the book. You will not be sorry. But avoid the movie at all costs. Because you will be.

POLICEBEAT

By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Quadruple MIP

Four UA students were arrested on Friday for minor in possession.

At 12:45 a.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer reported to the area of Mountain Avenue and Speedway Boulevard after receiving a reference of a woman who was stumbling down the street. When he approached her, he saw that she was having difficulty walking as she was accompanied by two other women and a man.

The four students identified themselves with driver’s licenses. All of them had a strong odor of alcohol coming from their breath, bloodshot eyes and swayed as they spoke with slurred speech.

The students told UAPD officers that they had been drinking at a fraternity somewhere north of campus. A preliminary breath test confirmed the presence of alcohol in their systems. The group took a taxi home, and were all referenced to the Dean of Students.

Trouble breathing

Tucson Fire Department notified UAPD dispatch after they received a call to assist an intoxicated woman at a sorority on campus on Friday.

A UAPD officer was dispatched to the sorority house at 1:19 a.m. because a woman was having trouble breathing. Upon arrival, the officer made contact with the woman, who was complaining of chest pains and problems with her breathing. While the two spoke, the officer detected a strong odor of intoxicants on the woman’s breath. Her eyes were also bloodshot and watery.

The woman told the officer that she had had a few drinks earlier at a nightclub and soon after started feeling sick. One of her sorority sisters had picked her up at the club and brought her back to the sorority house. The woman refused to tell the officer who had bought the alcohol for her.

Tucson Fire Department checked the woman’s vitals and transported her to University Medical Center for further medical assessment. She was later cited for minor in possession, and a code of conduct was forwarded to the dean of students’ office.

Beer pong leads to MIP

Three UA students were arrested on Friday for minor in possession after Tucson Fire Department notified dispatch that they were responding to a reference of an intoxicated woman in the Coronado Residence Hall.

At 1:19 a.m., a UAPD officer went to the dorms after someone reported an intoxicated woman stumbling away from the front door. When the officer arrived and made contact with the resident assistant on duty, he was escorted to the room where two women and a man were.

While the officer spoke to the three students, he noticed that their speech was slurred and their eyes were red and watery. When the officer asked one of the women, who was lying down, what she had been drinking, she refused to answer. She stated that they were at a friend’s house playing beer pong, but she would not tell the officer the name of her friend.

Tucson Fire Department checked the woman’s vitals and decided that she needed to be transported to University Medical Center for extreme intoxication.

The UAPD officer cited the two other students for MIP and released them. He then went to UMC and cited the woman for MIP.

Indecent exposure

An unknown man was seen masturbating in an alleyway behind a sorority house on Friday.

At 6:51 a.m. a UAPD officer went to the sorority after receiving a reference of a naked man at the back of the residence. The officer spoke with a woman who had seen all of this happen. A housekeeper at the sorority said that it started when she was sitting in her car behind the sorority house before she began her shift at 6 a.m. At approximately 5:45 a.m., she noticed a young white man come from around the corner of the building and run past her car. The man then ran down an alleyway. The woman continued getting out of her car and approached the back door of the sorority, from which she had a clear view of the alleyway that the man had run down. When she glanced down the alley, she saw the man standing there completely naked, except for his shoes.

The woman said that the man was carrying his clothes in his left hand and was masturbating with his right hand.

She told the officer that she was able to see his penis. The man did not seem to be looking at her but was spinning around while he masturbated. The woman did not think about reporting the incident, but after telling the house mother what had happened, she was advised to do so.

The woman said that she did not feel victimized by the young man’s actions. She told the officer she would also be able to help identify the man and would be willing to do a composite sketch.

The officer checked the area where the male was masturbating and did not notice any bodily fluids left by the man.

Volleyball must rebound No rest for the from tough weekend weary

Arizona’s bye week critical as season moves on

By Nicole Dimstios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Tiffany Owens, right, and the Wildcats struggled over the weekend in back-to-back losses to California and Stanford. Although the Bears and the Cardinal are two of the best teams in the country, losing both games to start the Pacific 10 Conference season is a big concern for head coach Dave Rubio and the rest of Arizona volleyball.

COMMENTARY BY Alex Williams sports writer

The Arizona volleyball team is at a turning point in its young season.

Coming off of a heartbreaking defeat to California, and an embarrassing three-set sweep at the hands of Stanford , the Wildcats can’t afford a loss to rival ASU on Friday.

“Next (game) will be just as hard as this week,” said senior Tiffany Owens .

She’s wrong — it’s going to be harder.

This week, Arizona might be battling the toughest opponent it will face all season – tougher than Stanford, the na-

tion’s No. 1 ranked volleyball team.

“I don’t even know what to say,” said Owens after the loss to Stanford. “I’m a little confused; coach is a little confused about why we played like we did.”

Spent. Exhausted. Worn-out.

The UA football team certainly needed a week off.

Arizona’s 4-0 record to start the season and the national climb was worth it, but after back-to-back weeks of fourth quarter thrillers, the Wildcats must be physically and emotionally spent.

The Wildcats didn’t practice Monday or Tuesday, but in a season where the Rose Bowl hopes to be the final destination, that doesn’t mean that Arizona will have much time off.

The bye is nestled during a time when Arizona needs it most, already into conference play, but not so far down the road where it can just be used for resting purposes — although, no doubt, the Wildcats do need the time off.

Several starters, including receiver Juron Criner, H-back Taimi Tutogi and return man Travis Cobb are all battling injuries.

While the rest and the chance for recuperation is nice, Arizona has some other creeping issues it needs to fix — before it’s too late.

Penalties

The Wildcats need to start by assessing its penalty situation. Twenty-two penalties in the last two games, for a com-

A win is a win, and stealing a game that shouldn’t have been won is a big step for Arizona, especially considering last season’s meltdowns.

Saturday proved that although Arizona can compete with the top teams in the nation, it could also come out flat and unmotivated just as easily.

Cal exposed the Wildcats’ offense Saturday night, and

that has defined this offense since Sonny Dykes first became offensive coordinator.

When the Wildcats can’t move the chains via screen pass or underneath routes, the offense breaks down.

Nebraska used this formula in the Holiday Bowl on its way to a 33-0 win, and Cal clearly took note of it.

Arizona is the epitome of a rhythm team, and Cal never let them gain traction offensively. They also limited Arizona to 3.8 yards per carry on the ground, and sacked Nick Foles three times while collapsing the pocket countless times.

Foles even threw away two balls left-handed to avoid a sack, and was tagged for intentional grounding as well.

When the offense can’t get into a groove with the short passing atMike Schmitz tack, it becomes extremely predictable and average. sports writer Yes, Arizona made the plays that it had to, and that’s all you can ask for. But who’s to say other Pacific 10 Conference defense won’t be able to knock the Wildcats off rhythm as well?

Cal isn’t even a top-5 team in the Pac-10 Conference, and Arizona had them at home.

What is going to happen when the Wildcats have one of these so-called “off nights” against Stanford, USC, Oregon or Oregon State?

Upcoming match against ASU crucial

Questions are the last thing the Wildcats need. They need answers, and they need them before it’s too late.

The players have said all of the right things about brushing off what happened last weekend and moving on from it.

“We just have to come out and play,” said Paige Weber, a senior setter.

Here’s the problem, it’s just not that easy to do.

Leading up to last weekend, Arizona players were intent on pointing out that the weekend was important not because of who they played but because it was the opening of Pacific 10 Conference play.

That might be true — they may have not cared one iota that they were playing two of the best teams in the country.

But walking away from two crushing losses — one after taking a 2-0 lead, and another in which the Wildcats might have been better off just not showing up for — isn’t an easy thing to do.

In a season with high expectations,

bined 202 yards, are holding Arizona back. The Wildcats’ opponents have a combined 22 penalties for 177 yards in four games.

And the flags flying around the field aren’t just discouraging, they’ve been drive- and momentum-killers for Arizona.

“I don’t know. I’m really disappointed in that aspect,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “We’ve been good enough to overcome them, but that’s only going to last, I told them, so long.”

Free yards for the Wildcats’ opponents and self-penalization on offense could be the difference between a win and a loss in Pac-10 play. That’s something that Arizona can’t afford to give up in a year in which the conference title is likely to be decided by a matter of inches.

Run, Arizona, Run

one in which Arizona opened the season as the No. 18 team in the country, chances to make a statement to the volleyball world can’t be missed.

This one was. Actually, it was blown.

Instead of taking down a top-10 team in Cal and then having another chance to be competitive against the country’s most dominant team this season, Arizona is now 0-2 in Pac-10 play, and could be in danger of falling further.

Three of the next five conference games are against teams in the AVCA Coaches’ Poll top-12, and another is a rivalry game — and we all know how those can go.

Arizona has another chance this weekend to make a statement: This is a team with senior leaders — leaders that won’t accept mediocre play at the game’s highest level.

After Friday night’s game, we’re going to have a much better idea of how this season is going to turn out — good or bad.

Half of the reason the offense hasn’t been absolutely stellar lately could be attributed to penalties. And the other half could be

with Arizona’s running problem.

While short sweep passes and option plays to the running backs may mask a run game, it won’t be enough to take the pressure off quarterback Nick Foles during the rest of Pac-10 play.

With three experienced and healthy running backs, it’s time for the run game to explode for Arizona. The Wildcats saw what a decent running game can do when Cal’s Shane Vereen sliced Arizona for 102 yards on Saturday.

Nic Grigsby and the rest of the Wildcats’ running back corps has that potential too, they just need to unleash it. The running game will also help in red zone situations, a category in which the Wildcats rank a surprising seventh place.

Through four games, Arizona has shown that the receiving corps is a threat to go deep. Finding the run will give way to play-action options, and that means more big plays more often.

From Albuquerque to Tucson High school teammates to college roommates

By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat Freshmen cross-country runners Patrick Zacharias and Ryan Clark made the trek to the desert from Albuquerque, New Mexico to run for the UA. Zacharias and Clark both ran for the Albuquerque Academy and collected several honors throughout their high school careers.

As the two roommates work to continue that tradition here at Arizona, they continually give each other advice.

“If we ever have any trouble with academics or if we need some encouragement in running, we have been teammates for so long we know how to pick each other up, and we know to push each other,” Zacharias said. “It definitely helps to have someone that you know.”

Zacharias and Clark are part of a young and talented men’s cross-country team, still learning as they push ahead with the two freshmen and three sophomores. For now, the team is relying heavily on junior transfer Stephen Sambu, who is proving to be one of the best runners in the country.

High School Careers

The Albuquerque Academy is widely considered a powerhouse cross-country school in the state. The school has won 16 district championships since 1992 and has taken home the state title 11 times since 1995.

Zacharias was on the varsity squad all four years of high school, and Clark joined him in their sophomore year. In their time in high school, they took the district championship all four years, the state title three out of four years and went to nationals all four years.

“The highest we finished was third, which was in 2008,” Zacharias said in regards to their trips to nationals.

Zacharias

Off to a quick start wearing the red and blue, Zacharias has proven to be a top runner for the men’s cross-country team.

“Pat is doing great,” said assistant coach Erin Dawson. “For a freshman, he is doing so much.”

Zacharias placed in the top three in his first event for the Wildcats, which was also his first 8k cross-country meet ever.

In his second meet, Zacharias was the second Wildcat to break the tape as he placed 11th.

Clark explained that Zacharias was one of the top runners for their high school and has quickly risen to the top of the team here.

“We have great team chemistry here,” Clark said. “Everybody gets along with each other; nobody is trying to hammer it on an easy day when everybody is trying to take a break.”

Clark

“He is surprising a lot of people, he wasn’t a superstar in high school,” Zacharias said. “He has put in a lot of hard work, and I think a lot of it is starting to pay off.”

Everyone describes Clark as ‘a hard worker that is great for the team.’ Clark may not be the fastest or best runner on the team, but he is definitely turning heads.

“He came in and looked really good.

The longer distance is definitely a challenge for him,” said head coach James Li. “He is very positive for the team, but there is definitely room for him to improve.”

Clark is still trying to get used to running on a collegiate level, but he says the entire team is very supportive and they all help each other out.

“It’s a big adjustment. It’s definitely a different world being in college running compared to high school,” Clark said. “High school was definitely hard, but college just takes so much dedication. We have practice at 6:30 in the morning, so every morning we have to get up and just run.

“The Minnesota meet, there was just so many people it was overwhelming. They all said to be patient and just trust that it will pay off.”
