PARK PANDEMONIUM Disregard for street safety raises concerns

Construction workers near the UA said they are increasingly concerned about students and passersby jaywalking through construction areas.

The Speedway Boulevard and Park Avenue intersection is still occupied by continuing off-campus housing construction projects, such as Next, limiting drivers and bikers to one lane. Students headed to nearby convenience stores and restaurants are also limited to the sidewalk on the east side of the road.

Despite road signs, restrictions have been ignored by pedestrians who proceed to walk through the construction sites, according to Patrick Linneen, superintendent at Beal Derkenne Construction . Linneen said monitoring passersby in the area was especially difficult during the move-in rush, before the start of the semester.

Without enforcement during some of the road’s busiest hours, it has become common for students to jaywalk through the road to avoid the crosswalk, Linneen said.

Although the construction company does have a permit from the City of Tucson to be on-site, there is no police presence to direct traffic . Occasionally, construction workers will do flag duty to prohibit pedestrians from walking through the fenced area, but they are not authorized to issue tickets.

“We recently had to re-erect the crane, and some students walk right through the blocked entrance with their headphones on,” Linneen said. “They walk right under the crane, oblivious to what’s going on.”

Francis Daniels, a music education freshman who lives nearby at Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall, said he often walks through that intersection.

“I had to wait a long time just to cross the intersection to get to the open sidewalk,” Daniels said. “It would really make a difference if a police officer were there for traffic. I have had to jaywalk about five times.”

Derek Cook, a computer science junior , said he was also confused about construction at the intersection, as he just transferred to campus this semester.

“All of this construction is new to me … I think adding more detour signs would make it easier for me to avoid closed or dead end streets,” Cook said. “I was upset about having to make one large loop while driving.”

Passersby interfering with the construction site must be dealt with by police, according to Chris Leighton, special events coordinator for the City of Tucson Department of Transportation and UA almuni. Workers on-site are typically only responsible for maintenance in the area, Leighton added.

Filbert Barrera, public information officer for UAPD , said enforcing traffic safety on the UA campus is a “unique” situation. Since construction projects like

Opportunities, problems flood UA

With an average of 12 inches of rainfall a year , keeping the 11 million square feet of campus intact and thousands of students safe during monsoons is an annual challenge for the UA.

Facilities Management works with students to store the rainfall in order to provide for plants on campus . New structures on campus, like the brick walkway on the UA Mall, could be hazardous if they become slick during rain. Other structures, such as McKale Center , require special measures to prevent flooding.

“McKale has had problems with flooding because the basketball arena is substantially low-grade,” said Chris Kopach, assistant vice president of Facilities Management . “The water would flow into the concourses and right down the ramps, so we want to protect the wood floor.”

In order to keep the basketball arena from flooding, Facilities Management designed and constructed a way to channel the water from McKale Center to Sixth Street. Underneath Bear Down Field is a massive holding tank capable of containing more than a million gallons of runoff collected from Cherry Street.

Game day poses parking problems

UA Parking and Transportation Services will be asking zone-specific permit holders to temporarily vacate their designated parking zones this Friday in preparation for the first football game.

Permit holders affected will include those who park in Cherry Avenue Parking Garage, streetside parking on National Champion Drive, lots 6090 and 6092 west of Arizona Stadium , 6093 south of the Meinel Optical Sciences building, 6097 east of the stadium and 6098 east of McKale Center . However, affected zone-specific permit holders will be able to park their vehicles in alternate locations. Cherry Garage permit holders can park in other on-campus garages including the Sixth Street Parking Garage, Second Street Parking Garage and Highland Parking Garage. However, because of the large number of permit-holders, many will be redirected to the surface lot south of Sixth Street.

PTS sent an email to permit holders regarding their specific temporary locations; students were told where to relocate and that they may park overnight at these locations beginning at 5 p.m. today. They can retrieve their vehicles any time after the football game on Friday, but before 9 a.m. on Saturday.

However, some students said they are worried about their personal safety due to the parking changes.

“My mom doesn’t want me walking all the way from south of Sixth [Street] by myself, and then

I have to inconvenience someone else to get back because I don’t want to walk by myself in the dark either,” said Cassidy Elmer, a pre-education freshman and lot-specific permit holder.

Although there is no security where the permit holders will be parking , there are safe travel options available through SafeRide and UAPD if students feel they need additional security.

“SafeRide is a very good resource,” said Bill Davidson, public information and marketing manager with PTS. “The nice thing about that is a student can call them up and they’ll come right up to them with a car, taking them wherever they need to go.”

Limited visitor parking is available in the Main Gate Parking Garage and the Tyndall Avenue

The UA held its largest-ever Wildcat Student Employment Fair on Wednesday morning.

The Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom hosted 75 companies, up from 60 tables at last year’s event, with almost 900 positions available for students, a c c o r d i n g to Susan Miller-Pinhey, marketing and special careers coordinator for Career Services .

UA students had the o p p o r t u n i t y to speak with d i f f e r e n t e m p l o y e r s to market t h e m s e l v e s for various p a r t - t i m e jobs in retail, i n t e r n s h i p opportunities, and more.

“With a better economy, more employers are going to be looking for employees,” Miller-Pinhey said. “More and more local employers are coming out to recruit UA students.”

Plato’s Closet came to campus to find students who might be a “diamond in the rough,” according to Lindsay Sushill, the store manager.

“We are looking for students who are interested in retail and fashion,” Sushill said. “[Students]

can get involved in a field that may help them as a stepping stone for what they are going in a career for.”

Although a majority of students in attendance were simply looking to find a job, others said they were interested in building up their resume and networking with businesses from around town.

“I want to get a feel for what is out there, and if I need a job I will know where to find one,” said Martin Yontz, a general studies s o p h o m o r e . “Networking is a great benefit from the fair and is also a good way to meet people.”

M i l l e r -Pinhey said she encourages j o b - s e e k i n g students to also register with

the UA Career Services website, which costs $5 per academic year . Registering gives students access to a resume builder and Wildcat JobLink, among other services.

“By registering online, students have more resources available for them,” Miller-Pinhey said. “This helps give students a one-stop shop to get students going with finding a job.”

Parking Garage on game day. There will be free parking for those who carpool with four or more people in the vehicle at the Tyndall, Main Gate and Highland garages . Park Avenue Parking Garage will operate as normal.

Disabled parking spaces are being sold at Cherry Avenue Garage and Sixth Street Garage at $10 per game . Drop-off locations for disabled patrons are spread throughout the Arizona Stadium perimeter .

Parking lots on campus will also be selling spaces for the game. In addition to those parking accommodations, the Sun Tran will also help bring the community

onto campus from the Hi Corbett Field and Casino Arizona Pavilion parking lot .

With six home games this semester, Elisa Tapia, program coordinator for special events with PTS , advised permit holders to review their permit instructions.

“Students should know their permit, know the rules and regulations, and know about the

large special events that may affect their permit parking,” Tapia said. “[Students should] be aware of any changes and additional signage that may affect parking in their lot.”

Next are private, they sometimes have to work with the city or TPD to maintain safety.

UAPD has not received any formal complaints to date, but traffic enforcement efforts continue in other heavily congested areas on campus, according to Barrera. Areas such as the intersections of Sixth Street and Fremont Avenue, and Sixth Street and Lowell Street , have been closely monitored by officers during the peak hours of the day, Barrera said.

Currently, five policemen on motorcycles monitor the areas between Cherry Avenue, University Boulevard and Park Avenue, Barrera

added. Those, along with other areas, are the main arteries

of traffic enforcement on campus, Barerra said. A recent grant through the Governor’s Office of

Highway Safety will also allow UAPD to add two more police officers on campus to enforce bicycle and pedestrian safety, according to Barrera, .

With the semester coming off the fall rush, Linneen said he can only hope newer students will adjust to the current road conditions near construction.

“Everything’s a matter of safety for now, whether it’s the public or on our site,” Linneen said. “It’s been a big problem, but this is where we’re located … We try to not be belligerent with enforcing it.”

on campus before the monsoons come,” Kopach said. “During a monsoon, we can get literally several inches in a half hour, and once the rain has stopped we check those pumps again.”

Despite the damage monsoons leave in their paths, the rainfall is beneficial for all of campus, according to Benjamin Herman, a retired professor of atmospheric sciences .

“Most of the plants that are native here depend on monsoon weather to grow,” Herman said. “You can usually tell how much rain we’ve had by the condition of the cactus. From here to California, the land gets drier and drier based on the amount of rainfall.”

A sustainable landscape is important to many of the students and faculty here on campus, but most important for the UA is keeping students safe and secure , according to the campus safety website. New structures on campus can be potential hazards, Kopach said.

“Our ground staff has worked really hard to maintain our landscape,” Kopach said. “We have put up new structures such as the sidewalk on the Mall, but with a little moisture the concrete can get slick. Just be careful about cutting corners and slipping.”

Despite the hazards monsoons present, they also provide some students with the opportunity to work with Facilities Management to harvest water for almost every plant on the UA campus, including mesquite beans and olive trees, according to Kopach.

“We love the monsoons, even with the headaches they cause,” Kopach said. “Our Bermuda grass loves it. Our olive trees love it.”

As the first week of the semester comes to an end, students can unwind with a free concert tonight.

The Wildcat Events Board is hosting the Wildcat Welcome Concert at 7:30 p.m., featuring The Electric Sons, an indie and electronic band hailing from Atlanta . The band will play in Geronimo Plaza following a pep rally in Main Gate Square.

“We’re trying to get everybody excited for the school year, and on top of that, get everybody aware of the Wildcat Events Board’s presence,” said Tyler Barrett, concert director for WEB .

WEB members will hand out glow sticks to those who attend the show. Barrett said he feels alternative electronic duo The Electric Sons will be a great fit for the board’s first concert of the semester.

“I believe that they’ll be around for a long time after this concert,” Barrett said. He compared the band’s sound to that of the indie pop group Passion Pit, which The Electric Sons have opened for in the past.

While the concert is free to the public, the board is paying almost $2,000 to put on the show, according to Janie van der Walt, WEB executive director. With a limited budget, the board tries to remain within a $500 to $2,000 budget per event, van der Walt said .

The board holds free events for students throughout the year, including concerts, comedy shows and interactive events, such when WEB transforming a section of the UA Mall into a water park last

semester .“[WEB provides students] the

opportunity to escape the school hype and get away from studies and everything for a little bit and just enjoy themselves,” said Natasha Bodiroga, associate director for WEB .

Some students agreed the concert will provide a way for them to meet new people.

“I think it’s good for unwinding, and it’s still really early so it’s just really nice to have … a welcome thing like [the UA has] been doing all week,” said Ashleigh Orr, a veterinary science freshman , “just a fun thing everyone can do together.”

The concert also fosters school spirit, said Alex Patterson, an undeclared freshman .

In the past, the board has secured headliners like rapper Jay-Z and comedian Seth Meyers .

This semester, the events board will be hosting a Mr. UA contest, Campus MovieFest and WinterFest , an event that will include an ice-skating rink on the UA Mall, according to Pauline Lam, public relations director for WEB . As for musical performances, the board will host concerts once a month as a part of its Press Play Wednesday program .

“This concert is definitely going to be a whole lot of fun. [The Electric Sons] are very talented,” van der Walt said. “Everybody’s going to be pumped up for the game and it will be a great atmosphere to be around.”

OLIVIER DOULIERY/ABACA PRESS/MCT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, first lady Michelle Obama and former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton at-tend the “Let Freedom Ring” ceremony to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom at the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall on Wednesday in Washington, D.C.

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama, the nation’s first African-American president, marked the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington on Wednesday by calling for economic equality — a crucial step to long-sought-after racial equality — as he pushed to usher in a new era of civil rights in the United States.

Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the same spot where civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. captivated a nation with his “I Have a Dream” speech, Obama said the theme of that historic day a half-century ago remains elusive.

“The test was not and never has been whether the doors of opportunity are cracked a bit wider for a few,” Obama said. “It’s whether our economic system provides a fair shot for the many, for the black custodian and the white steelworker, the immigrant dishwasher and the Native American veteran.”

A crowd of spectators, many wearing rain ponchos, packed the National Mall on a drizzly day to celebrate the day in 1963 when hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered in the nation’s capital to push for the freedoms that eventually would be enshrined in laws banning discrimination against minorities based on race, ethnicity and religion. A smattering held homemade signs. “I was there,” read one sign. “Let freedom ring,” read another.

Obama was joined on the memorial’s steps by first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and former Democratic presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, who made brief remarks. Not in attendance were the two living former Republican presidents, the ailing George H.W. Bush and son George W. Bush, who is still recovering from a heart procedure earlier this month.

“This march and that speech changed

America,” Clinton said. “They opened minds, melted hearts and they moved millions.”

The “Let Freedom Ring” ceremony capped a week of prayer services and training sessions, roundtables and seminars designed to commemorate the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. There was even a march Wednesday morning, led by a replica of the bus Rosa Parks rode when she refused to give up her seat to a white man in 1955. Celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, actor Jamie Foxx and singer LeAnn Rimes, made appearances.

Ellie Moyer, 75, a retiree from New York City who was in town Wednesday, recalled that people threw rocks at the bus that transported her and others to and from Washington when she came to original March on Washington.

“It was truly horrible. There was so much prejudice in every way, shape or form,” she said. “I’m glad that to a certain degree we are past that type of outward prejudice, but there is still an undercurrent in this country. ... We’ve come a long way, but [it’s] not enough.”

Wednesday’s mood was joyful but subdued, with present-day realities seeping into the festivities. Vendors hawked T-shirts honoring Trayvon Martin, the black teenager shot to death in Florida last year by a neighborhood watch coordinator. Code Pink, a peace organization, protested a potential U.S. military strike in war-torn Syria with a 20-foot-long banner demanding “U.S. Stay Out of Syria.”

Obama spoke just after 3 p.m., when a bell from the Birmingham, Ala., church that was bombed in 1963 rang to mark King’s historic speech.

“The arc of the moral universe may bend toward justice, but it doesn’t bend on its own,” Obama said. “To secure the gains this country has made requires constant vigilance, not complacency.”

In the past two years, more than 600 colleges and universities have executed

smoke-free policies across their entire campuses, including outdoor areas, bringing the total to more than 1,100 colleges and universities with smoking bans. Arizona State University enacted a completely tobacco-free policy on campus at the beginning of this semester that includes smokeless tobacco.

As much as I hate to admit it, our neighbors to the north are on to something here, and the

UA should enact its own smoking ban.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies secondhand smoke as a known carcinogen, or cancer-causing agent. Of the more than 7,000 chemical compounds found in tobacco smoke, at least 69 are known to cause cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.

In 2006, Arizona voters passed the Smoke-Free Arizona Act, banning smoking in most enclosed public places and places of employment. The university already bans smoking in and near university buildings, but more can be done to prevent secondhand smoke inhalation.

Nathan Yee, a junior studying computer science and mathematics, said he would support a smoke-free policy on the UA campus.

“Whenever I walk by someone who’s smoking, I always have to hold my breath,” Yee said.

An on-campus smoking ban also has the potential to encourage students and faculty to live a healthier lifestyle because of the obstacle it presents to students and faculty who want to smoke.

Kailey Perry, a physiology junior, said she would support a smoke-free campus because she doesn’t like walking through secondhand smoke.

In January 2008, Indiana University initiated a smoke-free policy both to limit secondhand smoke and to discourage students from continuing or starting an unhealthy habit. Researchers compared the effects this ban had on students’ behavior and on their perceptions of smoking to students at the nearby Purdue University, where smoking was permitted on campus 30 feet away from a university building.

The percentage of students at Indiana University who reported that they currently smoke cigarettes fell from 16.5 percent to 12.8 percent two years after the smoke-free policy was enacted.

The percentage of smokers at Purdue University increased slightly during that time, from 9.5 percent to 10.1 percent.

Additionally, the average number of cigarettes smoked each day by smokers at Indiana University fell from 6.6 to 5.9 between 2007 and 2009. Two years after the smoking ban was established, students at Indiana University also perceived that fewer of their classmates smoked, which the researchers attributed to increased awareness about the smoking ban.

These smoke-free policies inevitably have to rely on peer pressure and education about the ban to work, but even a small shift in attitudes and behavior can create large, meaningful changes.

“I think it’s a common courtesy to others to maintain a clean environment,” said Courtney Cox, a psychology junior. “This includes not having to see cigarette butts on campus or walking through clouds of smoke.”

When students choose to attend college in another city, they become a part of that town. Students living on campus

are impacted by the decisions of elected officials in the surrounding community. In 1979, the Supreme Court ruled in Symm v. United States that students have a right to vote in their college town, yet Richard “Pete” Gilbert, Republican Party chairman of Pasquotank County in North Carolina, apparently hasn’t gotten the memo.

Montravias King, a student at Elizabeth City State University in Pasquotank County, had been registered to vote at his campus address since 2009. But when he filed the paperwork to run for city council, Gilbert successfully challenged his eligibility before the County Board of Elections, arguing that a college dorm is a temporary residence and therefore insufficient for residency requirements.

In North Carolina, the requirements to run for office are the same as those to vote, and Gilbert said he plans to file additional challenges against other ECSU students’ eligibility.

Despite the obvious illegality of Gilbert’s actions, it could be months or even years before a court steps in to amend the situation. In the meantime, citizens could be effectively stripped of their most important right; if you can’t vote in the community where you go to school, a

majority of students will be probably be unable to vote. It’s obvious why Republican officials in North Carolina seem to have “prevent college students from voting” at the top of their legislative to-do list this year: only 36 percent of people 29 and under who voted in the 2012 presidential election cast their ballots for Mitt Romney. We can’t be trusted to vote for them, so we shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all. Democracy at its finest.

The Voting Rights Act used to be a safeguard to ensure citizens weren’t prevented from voting in any election due to delays in the legal process or voter suppression. It required states and counties with the worst documented histories of voter suppression to submit all voting laws for judicial review before they could be enacted. The Supreme Court, however, wiped that list of states and counties clean and suspended the pre-clearance process this summer, and now counties in North Carolina are able to prevent students from voting in 2013 in a way they were not allowed to in 2012.

Arizona — along with some states in the South and parts of New York and California — was also on the list of states whose voting laws required pre-clearance, and Republicans are in charge of writing Arizona’s election laws. It’s not overly paranoid to imagine that such rules could be on their way here next.

Zoey Kotzambasis, vice president of UA College Republicans, said in an email that she doesn’t think a law mandating an off-campus

address to vote would have that much of an impact at the University of Arizona “because most students who live on campus are from out of town and don’t even register to vote here anyway.” While that reasoning seems questionable given that 30 percent of our student body hails from out-of-state and would have to register in Tucson, Kotzambasis says she opposes the policy on a personal level.

“I also believe that the right to vote — just like all rights — doesn’t end on campus,” she said.

The president of UA Young Democrats, Nicholas Mahon, agreed, but he was also careful to point out that it isn’t just on-campus student voters who are being targeted in North Carolina right now.

“The sad truth is, Republicans are trying to screw over students no matter where they live,” he said. “If you don’t believe that, you’re not paying enough attention.”

But even as students seem united in efforts to retain their voting rights in their college towns, Republicans’ dismal performance among 18-29 year old voters continues to encourage Republican officials to suppress the college vote. With the enforcement mechanism of the Voting Rights Act gone, the important question seems to be: what is left to stop them?

Greek life not about judging

BY stephaNie elliOttThe Daily Wildcat

Citizens could be effectively stripped of their most important right.

“

“

Many students are under the impression that the greek recruitment

process is a shallow system of judgment based on looks.

“You pay to get judged — you work so hard to impress people and you get let down,” said Elena Vargas, an architecture freshman, about the recruitment process.

Speaking from personal experience, finding my sisters and meeting a plethora of new people in all of the chapters during recruitment was a completely positive experience, and I’m disappointed that many students view it so negatively.

Is recruitment a judgment process? Well, kind of. There are a limited number of spots available in each chapter and, at some point, we do have to make decisions. But that’s hardly unique to the greek recruitment process.

If you try out for a sport, you are judged on your athletic ability, work ethic, compatibility with the rest of the team and a variety of other factors. In a job interview, you are judged on your skills, experience and whether you are the best fit for the company. This kind of judgment is commonplace and accepted in society.

“In regards to greeks judging, that’s a stigma that I find to be untrue,” said Drew Jennison, president of the Sports Marketing Association and a marketing senior.

During recruitment, the chapters seek to help young women find their place in a greek chapter based on the values, culture and pillars of each sorority. Chapters are not judging by appearance; they are looking for women who are likely to make friends within the sorority. Yes, decisions have to be made, but these decisions are based on how each woman’s beliefs and values fit with the existing chapter members’.

“Recruitment is an amazing opportunity for collegiate women to get to know other women who are in their same position,” said Alison Underhill, academic chair of Kappa Kappa Gamma and a junior in the Eller College of Management. “The new members get to feel as though they are a part of a family from the first day of college — something very few freshmen get to experience.”

In many ways, recruitment is far less harsh and intimidating than a sports tryout or a job interview. Women aren’t being judged based on how good they are at a certain skill, and there’s no formal interview. Rather, the process is just like how you would make friends in classes or in a dorm.

“My chapter is the place where I have made lifelong friends,” said Emma Siegert, former spirit chair of Delta Delta Delta and a theater production junior, “and I always know that I have Tri-delta as my home.”

Recruitment is about having real conversations about academics, family and home life as women who rush get to know the women already in the chapters. The potential new members are looking to find a new home with a new family, just as current members are looking to find more additions to their already diverse family.

“The recruitment process is a phenomenal way to meet new people,” said Sarah Whitehurst, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and a junior studying speech, language and hearing sciences. “I came to the university knowing very few people, and now have friends and connections all over the country.”

As in any selection process, tough decisions have to be made during recruitment, but that does not make it — or the greek community — deserving of contempt.

‘Some good shit’A UA student was cited and released for possession of

marijuana on Aug. 26, after he drove by a University of Arizona Police Department officer in the Main Gate Parking Garage at approximately 10:25 a.m.

The officer smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the rolled down driver’s side window when the car passed him.

The officer followed the vehicle on bike until it parked, then told the driver why he had stopped him and asked for identification.

The officer didn’t find anything when he searched the student’s vehicle, but when he searched the student, he felt what seemed to be a bag of some kind near the groin area. The officer asked the student what he had concealed in his shorts and the student said, “It’s the marijuana.”

The officer then told the student that he really did not want to unzip his shorts to retrieve it, so the student unzipped his shorts and removed an 8” by 8” plastic Ziploc bag filled with a substance he said was marijuana.

When questioned, the student told the officer that he had had the marijuana for about a week, and that he had paid $600 for it. He would not say where he bought it or from whom, only that he had paid $600 because “it was some good shit.”

He also told the officer that he usually smokes at home, though he sometimes smokes before working out at the Student Recreation Center.

The student was cited and released and referred to the dean of students. The marijuana, which weighed approximately 59.9 grams, was placed into evidence.

Desperate timesA UA student was arrested and cited for shoplifting after

security from the UofA Bookstore witnessed him taking $675.20 worth of textbooks at approximately 5:22 p.m. on Aug. 26.

Bookstore security saw the student on the security monitors carrying several textbooks from downstairs up to the ground floor. He then put the books in his backpack and began walking out of the store.

Security confronted the student outside the main entrance, and after some discussion, he went with them to the conference room and removed the books from his backpack. The student was told to wait for UAPD to arrive, but he refused and left.

Upon being dispatched to the scene, an officer from UAPD was advised that the student was being pursued by security personnel. An assisting officer was able to catch him in a stairwell of the Sixth Street Parking Garage, and the officer contacted bookstore security to find out what happened.

After speaking with security, the officer spoke with the student. The student informed the officer that he had taken the books because he needed them for his classes but could not afford them. He was cited and released, and a code of conduct referral was forwarded to the Dean of Students.

Friendly supportA UA student was arrested on charges of minor in possession

on Aug. 26, after a UAPD officer noticed her being removed from the back of a vehicle parked near Tyndall Avenue while conducting traffic at approximately 11:15 p.m.

The student was having difficulties standing on her own and was supported by two of her friends. When the officer spoke with the student to conduct a welfare check, she said she was OK and had been drinking a little. She said she lived in a nearby residence hall and was being escorted home.

While speaking with the student, the officer noticed she had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and smelled strongly of alcohol. When asked her age, she said she was 18 years old.

She told the officer that she had been drinking hard liquor at an off-campus party, but refused to identify where the party was or who provided the alcohol. Shortly after, she said she had been drinking at a fraternity, but then said again that she had actually been drinking off-campus, not at a fraternity. Due to her condition, the officer requested Student Emergency Medical Services to evaluate her, and it was determined she didn’t need any further medical attention.

The officer arrested her on charges of underage drinking and escorted her to her residence hall, where they were met by a resident assistant. She was cited and released into the resident assistant’s care, and a code of conduct violation was completed.

Friday marks the official start of the Arizona football season and big changes for ZonaZoo.

The changes to the student section make it smaller and more interactive and feature incentives for students to stay longer.

“There’s a lot of cool things coming,” said Mario Ziccarelli, ZonaZoo executive director. “One is called the ‘Wild One Section,’ which is going to be an area that is roped off with velvet ropes. It’s going to run from the 40-yard line to the 50-yard line and the craziest, wildest, most passionate fans are going to get let in almost like a night club … It’s going to showcase the best fans we have, and hopefully that atmosphere will grow throughout the whole stadium.”

Another big change is that now only 9,000 students will be let into the ZonaZoo section, as opposed to 10,000 previously. The band has been moved into the ZonaZoo section and a young alumni section has been added so recent graduates can still feel like a part of the ZonaZoo section.

Despite the renovations to the football stadium, ZonaZoo members will still enter through the gate located next to the southeast ticketing office. However, the gate will now open 90 minutes before kickoff, instead of two hours before.

“I think that’s a really good move for the students in general,” Ziccarelli said. “[It] allows students to hang out, go see the Wildcat Walk now and then walk right into the stadium. That way we’re not sitting in the student section for two hours in the sun, and then by the time that the game kicks off everyone’s already exhausted.”

Despite a recent drop in student attendance for football games and a trend of students leaving early, head football coach Rich Rodriguez said he

loves ZonaZoo.“I think it’s one of the best student

sections in the country,” Rodriguez said. “I really truly believe that it can be the best student section, because we have a large student body that is very passionate about sports. If we can get the students to not only keep coming and fill [the ZonaZoo] up, but to stay the whole game and make a

lot of noise when the other team has the ball, I think we could be the best student section in the country.”

ZonaZoo leaders said they are actively trying to keep the section full.

“The other big thing we’re doing this year for football is promoting staying the whole game,” Ziccarelli said. “I think it’s important for the team and the program in general to

have a strong, passionate fan base.” For the first two home games,

ZonaZoo is giving away five $500 cash prizes. When students swipe their CatCards to enter the game, they are automatically entered into the random drawing. The catch is that in order to receive one of the cash prizes, the winning students have to be present.

“As long as they’re present, they’re going to win it,” Ziccarelli said. “If that’s not incentive for kids to stay, it’s hard to know what else to do.”

Another incentive for students to stay is the addition of new interactive opportunities, like the chance to place cards on the wall in front of ZonaZoo to keep track of the penalties in the game.

Even the ZonaZoo shirt, designed by UA graduate Krista Maki, is challenging students to keep supporting the Wildcats until the very last seconds of the game, boldly stating, “ZonaZoo Stays the Entire Game” on the back.

“Arizona football is really starting to peak right now, and I think that our student section is gonna grow right along with it,” Ziccarelli said. “We’ve made great strides in the 11 years now that we’ve been around. I think that we’re only going to get better as the football team improves. We’re really excited this year because I think athletics and us both want to kind of innovate and do new things for the students.”

More than 6,000 ZonaZoo passes had been sold as of Saturday, according to Beth Megerle, associate athletic director for customer relations management and ticket sales.

“With online sales that number goes up just about every minute, and we anticipate that total will double in this coming week,” Megerle said. “Almost half of the ZonaZoo passes are sold the week of the first home game and the following week as students settle into campus.”

The 2013 Arizona soccer team features a new coach, a healthy mix of both returning playmakers and new faces, and a schedule with ranked teams coming to Tucson.

New skipper:There is no denying it: Arizona

soccer hasn’t been great the last few years.

That’s why Tony Amato was hired as head coach in December, following Lisa Oyen’s resignation after three seasons and a 12-40-7 record.

The Wildcats started the season 2-0-0, doubling their win total from 2011.

Amato’s players said they see the soccer program becoming more structured.

“From day one, Tony came in and said he wanted to make this program as professional as possible,” junior goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman said. “The overall mentality of the coaching staff has brought a professional mentality to our team.”

Amato brought an impressive resume to Tucson, including a 127-48-14 career record as a head coach before coming to Tucson. His first seven seasons as a head coach were spent at his alma mater, Rollins College in Florida, while he spent the past three seasons coaching Stephen F. Austin.

Amato was named the Southland Conference Coach of the Year in 2011 and 2012 after his team finished a combined 17-0 in conference play.

For comparison’s sake, the Wildcats finished last in conference play last year, going 2-7-2.

For nearly every Division I athletic program, summer provides student athletes with opportunities to travel, compete and train in new environments, without the academic pressure they may face during the school year.

At the UA, programs like baseball, softball and volleyball take a different approach in offering players the opportunity to recover from their seasons and work on individual skills while undergoing rigorous conditioning in hopes of a better season the following year.

Junior volleyball player Madi Kingdon had her first experience with international competition over the summer, participating as a Pac-12 All-Star in Beijing and Huainan City, China.

The Phoenix, Ariz., native was among 11 other top conference competitors selected to the team led by USC head coach Mick Haley.

“I feel like [my experiences over the summer] definitely helped me mature as an athlete,” Kingdon said. “I’ve never played out of the country before and it really opened my eyes to international play, which I think will be beneficial to my game and provide me with challenging and rewarding experiences [in the future].”

Meanwhile, fellow teammate Ronni Lewis used her summer to work on her technique, participating in the U.S. Women’s National Volleyball Team A2 (WNTA2) in Dallas, Texas.

Head softball coach Mike Candrea’s approach to summer was more relaxed. He rested his squad while letting them work on technical details individually, without organized training.

Sophomore infielder Lauren Young traveled to Brampton, Ontario, Canada, this summer to participate in the ISF Junior Women’s World Championships on behalf of Team USA.

“It was a great experience, and I loved it,” Young said. “It was a once-in-a -lifetime occurrence and it meant that I got to play for my country, which was a true honor.”

The Anaheim, Calif., native subsequently

comprised a .286 batting average with two home runs, six RBI, and three runs scored over three games to contribute to her country’s 8-1 record.

Arizona’s baseball team sent 10 players to different summer league teams across the nation and kept at least four athletes in Tucson to work with strength and conditioning staff.

Juniors Tyler Crawford, Trent Gilbert, Joseph Maggi, Riley Moore and Mathew Troupe,, along with sophomore Kevin Newman spent their summer in the Cape Cod Baseball League. Meanwhile, sophomore pitchers Cody Moffett and Nathan Bannister played

for the Alaska Goldpanners of the Alaska Baseball League.

“It was a great time,” Bannister said. “The competition was pretty good and it was a fun

environment to play ball in.”Bannister led the Goldpanners with six

wins while compiling a 2.25 ERA with 32 strikeouts and just three walks in 44 innings pitched.

The Peoria, Ariz., native ended with an unblemished 6-0 record as the season came to a close and was awarded All-ABL First Team honors alongside his teammate Moffett, who had a 2-0 record with four saves and a 0.76 ERA over 11 games as a mid-innings specialist.

“It was definitely one of my goals from the start,” Moffett said. “It felt really satisfying to accomplish it. I was overall pleased with my performances but still want to work on controlling my fastball more accurately.”

The Gilbert, Ariz., native amassed 34 strikeouts over his 35.1 innings pitched and only allowed five walks all summer to conclude a successful vacation.

said he sees leadership displayed in this year’s upperclassmen especially senior forward Jazmin Ponce , senior midfielder Shannon Heinzler and Kaufman.

“We definitely have a core group of players we are going to rely on, but you’ve got to have leadership,” Amato said. “That’s a group that you turn to and say, ‘You’ve got to set the tone.’”

Ponce was a first-team Pac-12 performer last year when she scored eight goals, and Kaufman led the conference in saves with 108 .

Arizona returned 18 letter-winners from last year, and Amato brought in 12 freshmen and one transfer to help fill the roster.

Amato said he hopes the freshmen contribute in any way they can while simultaneously learning as the season progresses and their playing time adds up.

“The most important thing is that they get minutes early in the season so that they get comfortable,” Amato said. “We need them to contribute. If we just rely on the 18 returners, then we’re not maximizing our squad.”

Run, Forrest, run! When it comes to the Arizona Wildcats’ cross

country athletes, that is all they know.I sat down with prominent track and field Wildcat

Lawi Lalang to discuss his times, his hopes for this season and where he sees himself in the future.

Daily Wildcat: You’ve competed in some big events over the last few months, with amazing times. Some of the best times of your career had come out of these past few events. What do these victories mean to you and how do you plan to continue to produce record times such as your 5K time?

Lalang: It means a lot to me. My fastest time was in Europe and that just gives me more confidence to improve my time, which I’m really working on. I really want to improve to be part of the top 10 in the world.

After all your success last season, what are you looking forward to most this season? Maybe more

record times under your belt? I’m looking forward to the indoor and outdoor

track seasons. Knowing that I have to improve my indoor time to improve my outdoor time really makes me work harder. And keeping up with my cross country times.

What do you think of the men’s team this year and how do you expect everyone to work together and push one another to succeed?

I really think this team could go to national. We have about six guys who can run really good and with motivation, they could run even better. It is a dream of mine to make it to nationals with this team, and I think we could do it. It would be really nice.

With your cross country collegiate career nearing an end, do you see yourself going pro?

I have started thinking about it. I definitely want to run professionally, but I am going to compete in the indoor and outdoor season as a senior before I run professionally.

Foles has room to shineSOCCERFROM PAGE 6

Lalang sets high goals for future

Last week, former Oregon head coach and current Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly named Michael Vick the starting quarterback. Coming in second place was former Wildcats football quarterback Nick Foles .

Foles made his mark on the Arizona football team when he played as starting quarterback from 2009 to 2011 . Not only was he on the list of Wildcats in the pros, he was also the first former UA quarterback to throw a pass in the NFL in 39 years .

As a Wildcat, Foles led the powerful spread offense and threw for at least 350 yards in nine of his 12 games as a senior.

The Arizona alumnus got to play last season as starting

quarterback for Philadelphia after Vick suffered a concussion. He started six games and gathered six touchdowns, completing 60.8 percent of his passes.

Despite Foles’ impressive performance, it comes as no surprise that Kelly chose Vick as starting quarterback for the Sep. 9 season opener against the Redskins. In preseason play, he has completed 28-of-38 passes for 383 yards , with two interceptions and two touchdowns.

An Eagle since 2009 , Vick has proven himself a threat in the running game and is more than a decent fit for Kelly’s fast-paced offense.

However, if anything should happen to Vick, Foles would step in, and right behind him is former USC quarterback Matt Barkley .

Kelly has repeatedly mentioned that his team does not need a dual-threat quarterback. Vick’s athleticism will allow the Eagles to operate a strong spread offense, while Foles would allow

read-option plays where the quarterback looks out for the defensive end.

If the defensive end is tackled, the quarterback slips through the open space, and if not, hands off the ball. The unpredictability of this style makes it difficult for the other team’s defense to prepare.

The spread offense is the more

powerful strategy for the Eagles to employ, but having Foles as a backup is handy.

After coaching the high-profile Oregon offense for four seasons and winning three Pac-10/Pac-12 championships, it’s safe to say he knows what he’s talking about.

The current UA football team is facing a similar quarterback competition decision with a similar offense. Head coach Rich Rodriguez is most likely deciding between the running signal caller in senior B.J. Denker and the pro-style quarterback in junior Jesse Scroggins .

Losing this quarterback competition is certainly not the end of the world for Foles. Still pretty fresh out of college, he could use more experience on the field. He has plenty of time and room to grow, and with Vick at risk for another injury, there is a chance Foles may be blessed with more opportunities to shine.

Thursday, August 29, 2013 • Page A10

With the one year anniversary of the conclusive discovery of the Higgs Boson upon us, physicists may finally have the key to unlocking the mystery of the accelerating expansion of our universe.

Scientists from the UA’s ATLAS Project’s high-energy research team, in collaboration with CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, are tackling this phenomenon by recreating dark matter with high energy collision experiments that have the potential to render current physics models invalid.

“The universe is expanding faster and faster as it gets older,” said Erich Varnes, associate professor of physics at the UA and a member of the ATLAS Project. “There are reasons to believe our current theories aren’t the final answer.”

In 1998, an experiment by the European S o u t h e r n O b s e r v a t o r y established the conclusion that the expansion of the universe is exponential and ever increasing.

This occurrence seems to be the result of an enigmatic presence: dark energy.

“Dark energy is something that appears to be pushing all the galaxies away from each other,” Varnes said. “That’s really all we know.”

Dark energy is a “form of energy to detect to make sure the energy balance of the universe comes out to zero,” said Peter Loch, research scientist for the UA ATLAS Project.

The team is still analyzing the data from the past two years to look for specific new particle types in an effort to understand more about what types of matter exist in the universe.

The Higgs Boson has given the scientific community probable cause to postulate the existence

of various types of undiscovered matter. One such hypothesized form is known as dark matter, only capable of being identified through the observance of its gravitational pull.

“Dark matter is some form of particle we don’t know about,” Varnes said. “Essentially, dark matter is composed of all the types of unknown unknowns in what we refer to as ‘space’.

“We know there’s no electric charge [characteristic of dark matter],” Varnes continued, “but we don’t know what makes up the dark matter.”

In March 2013, the Planck Mission Team mapped the cosmic microwave background, exploring the radiation pulsating throughout the universe after the Big Bang.

The team produced a mass-energy analysis of the universe, proposing that the universe is composed of 26.8 percent dark matter and 68.3 percent dark energy.

“What we are looking for,” Loch said, “are signs of new physics in the new data. We look for deviations from what you know. If you find something, then you can think about what could it be — what kind of new physics is it?”

At the UA, Varnes and his fellow colleagues will be synthesizing dark matter for the world’s highest-energy collider, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.

“Now it depends on the actual nature of the dark matter whether we can reproduce it on the LHC or not,” Varnes said.

C u r r e n t l y , the UA ATLAS Project is a n a l y z i n g data from the LHC’s most

recent experiments. The group is working on completely new types of detectors, attempting to increase the rates of collisions.

“By creating very high energy collisions, we can find evidence,” Loch said. “However, science is not yet at a point where it can recreate the same high energy collisions that happened at the Big Bang.”

While they may not be able to recreate the Big Bang, the high energy collisions will still provide a way to look for new particles.

The higher the energy of the collisions, the more rare particles will appear. The rarer the particles scientists can observe, the closer we will be to understanding the mystery of existence.

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” Fans of “Star Wars” get goosebumps just hearing those words. Many may consider the phrase to be nothing more than a pop culture sound bite, but scientists at the UA are seeking the reality of those words as they search for distant celestial bodies that could support life.

Unfortunately, the distance between these extraterrestrial objects and the Earth makes it difficult for researchers to learn more about them. That’s why Daniel Apai, an assistant professor of astronomy and planetary sciences, is exploring a new way to map and understand remote planets and planetary-mass objects.

Apai’s team is attempting to circumvent the distance using a new method called rotational phase mapping, and it may be the next big thing in extraterrestrial atmospheric research and the search for habitable planets.

The ultimate goal, in his research and in the search for other Earth-like planets, is to discover how rare life is in the universe.

Though the study of planets outside of our solar system only began recently, our knowledge in the field is rapidly expanding.

“In 1995, we didn’t know if there were other planets [like Earth] or not,” Apai said. “In the last few years we discovered that [Earth-like] planets aren’t very rare or uncommon.”

However common they may be, these extra-solar planets — deemed exoplanets — are much too far from Earth and much too close to stars for a contemporary telescope to return much atmospheric information.

“What we do is precisely measure the brightness,” Apai said. This

process, known as rotational phase mapping, looks at changes in the light emitted from a planet as it rotates to yield a rough map of the surface of the planet.

“We will see not only variations in the brightness, but also in the color,” Apai said, “and we can even take spectra, so [we see] changes in the wavelength.”

Information about the changes in the light emitted and color of an extraterrestrial object can offer much-needed data on the

composition of the object and its atmosphere.

In the future, the technology used by Apai to map gaseous planets will also be used to gather information about terrestrial planets, such as what kind of cloud cover they have. On Earth, our clouds are simple and water-based, but among the vast possibilities of the universe, we can expect to find more complex cloud structures. This is important because clouds can have a drastic effect on planetary temperature.

“When clouds form, they basically change the composition of the atmosphere,” Apai explains. “They vary from gas phase to a solid phase, and if you trigger cloud cover, that stops the radiation from easily merging and escaping, so it’s actually like putting a blanket on the atmosphere … it will heat up.”

This result, called the greenhouse effect, is what warms the Earth to a temperature suitable for life. For a planet to be habitable, it would likely need cloud cover. But in something

of a Goldilocks effect, the clouds need to keep the planet in an ideal temperature range — too hot, and the planet will likely not be able to support life. For example, it is the greenhouse effect that causes Venus to be more than twice as hot as Mercury, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun. Finding a planet with clouds similar to Earth’s would mean finding a place with the potential to support life.

With these new tools at researchers’ disposal, the concept of habitable planets will soon make its way from the silver screen to reality as we learn more about the composition of far off celestial bodies.

Clinical research can be exhaustingly tedious. The routine gathering of sample after sample for months before actual testing can force researchers to postpone their projects or even abandon them.

The UA Skin Cancer Institute hopes to change that.

In an attempt to eliminate the lengthy process and create more opportunities in skin cancer research, the institute has opened the current holdings for use by researchers while continuing the collection program.

The Skin Cancer Patient Registry and Tissue Bank started collecting samples in 2011.

“With a readily available bank of tissue samples and epidemiological characteristics, researchers will be able to cut the clinical process in half,” said Stephanie Koch, the current project coordinator. “They’ll no longer have to take the time to collect their own samples.”

Skin cancer is the most prevalent cancer in the U.S., with approximately 61,646 cases diagnosed and 9,199 deaths in 2009, according to the Center for Disease Control. In Arizona alone, there were 1,460 new cases of melanoma diagnosed in 2009 and there are 171 deaths attributed to the disease every year, as reported by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The institute’s bank includes a patient index that lists general health history, demographics, lifestyle characteristics and current or past treatments of people who have been diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer, non-melanoma skin cancer or pre-malignant skin cancer.

Tissue biopsies, saliva and blood samples from each patient

are included in the registry, according to Koch.

Dr. Janine Einspahr, a research assistant professor for the Cancer Prevention and Control program, worked in the samples lab for the project. She is the first researcher to request use of the patient registry and tissue bank since its opening.

She intends to utilize the tissue bank by testing “how cells and cell proteins change as the skin goes from normal to cancer and to ultimately develop safe, active agents for skin cancer prevention,” according to her request proposal to the Skin Cancer Institute.

The goal of the project is to find a chemical antigen to carcinogenic tissue particular to skin cancer so that it can be

used as a preventative measure against melanoma.

Einspahr’s research is just one of many potential projects that will be aided by the bank.

“The hope for the registry is to create a database that will help us better u n d e r s t a n d m e l a n o m a and non-m e l a n o m a skin cancer, and advance treatment of it,” Koch said.

E i n s p a h r may be the first to dip into the

figurative pool of information and specimens the tissue bank has to offer, but her research could be just the start of a wealth of clinical opportunities.

Daniel Apai’s Most Accurate Sci-Fi PicksFor long distance space travel“Alien” (1979)In “Alien,” the human crew is sent to its destination in a state of hibernation to overcome the fact that “we can’t travel through space in any amount of time that is interesting to us,” Apai said.

For astrobiology in action“Europa Report” (2013)“Europa Report’s” attention to detail, protocol and technol-ogy makes it a clear pick. The ma-chines used to depict the infiltra-tion of the oceans of Europa are early concept designs from the actual ongoing project that aims to send probes to the icy moon of Jupiter.
