UA Greek Life’s potential investiga-tion into fraternity members’ involve-ment in the mass theft of Daily Wildcat newspapers will automatically expire if the University of Arizona Police De-partment does not release police re-ports on the incident.

About 10,000 newspapers were stolen from Daily Wildcat stands on Oct. 8. Several thousand of the stolen newspapers were found on the western

outskirts of Tucson the next day, along with Spanish homework bearing the names of UA students Nick Kovaleski and Alex Cornell , who are both members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.

The fraternity’s president and vice president originally would neither con-fi rm nor deny Phi Kappa Psi’s involve-ment in the mass theft. Phi Kappa Psi President Keith Peters later told the Daily Wildcat the fraternity would be carrying out an internal investigation.

Greek Life is currently obligated to begin looking into the case because

of the completion of an offi cial com-plaint report fi nalized and fi led by the Daily Wildcat to Greek Life on Monday. However, such an investigation would be largely incomplete without police reports of the incident, which were fi led by the Daily Wildcat on Oct. 8 and 9, said Jenny Nirh, senior coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Programs within Greek Life.

UAPD will not release the reports related to the incident until the in-vestigation is no longer ongoing, said Sgt. Juan Alvarez, UAPD public

information officer. The Greek Judicial Board’s deadline

to conduct a hearing with the frater-nity is Nov. 4. Such a hearing would be impossible without a full Greek Life investigation, complete with police re-ports, Nirh said.

Because the subjects of Greek Life hearings must be notifi ed a minimum of fi ve days in advance of a hearing, UAPD would need to release the police reports to Greek Life by Oct. 30 in order for the organization to carry out a hear-ing with Phi Kappa Psi, Nirh added.

Alvarez said he was unsure whether UAPD would be able to close the case and make reports available to Greek Life by the Oct. 30 deadline.

Greek Life would normally be able to push the hearing back a week to Nov. 11, but since that day is Veter-an’s Day, the earliest possible hearing with the Greek Judicial Board would be Nov. 18, well past Greek Life’s deadline to hold a hearing for the case, Nirh said.

“By then,” she said, “it would be too late.”

She wore two black and pumpkin-colored Halloween ribbons in her light grey hair

as she strutted out of the house in a tomato-red princess t-shirt and a custard-yellow crown.

Victoria, a 9-year-old Shih Tzu, jumped with excitement at the sight of Vickie Reason , seven-year owner of Happy Tails Pet Services and Victoria’s personal dog walker, as they met for their routine walk.

As the two walked around Fort Lowell Park, Reason smiled at Victoria as if she were her own.

The dog walking business has proven to be a good fi t not only for canines, but also for pet-loving students like psychology senior Veronica Hoffman .

“Being a dog-walker is no ordinary college job,” she said.

As a customized service, Happy Tails — which employs some UA stu-dents — offers a variety of services, from dog walking to pet therapy and even a bed and breakfast service, where a dog is able to move into Reason’s home or an “animal-loving home” for a minimum of three days. During this time, as many as two dogs will get attention, exercise and a schedule of activities.

Hoffman works for Happy Tails and completed an internship with the company last year.

Growing up, Hoffman always had cats, dogs and horses, she said. Right now she lives with her sister and has two dogs and four cats.

The job provides the experience of meeting with clients and developing more in-depth relationships with ani-mals, she said.

“I defi nitely have a better under-standing for dogs — some dogs look intimidated when you fi rst meet them, but once they know you’re there for them, they change their at-titude,” she said.

Hoffman said she mostly does 30-minute walks and visits at a daily rate of $20, of which she gets 50 percent.

Seneca Nunn, UA alumnus and owner of Nunn Better, a dog walking and pet care service , started her own company in 2001 after she graduated with a degree in animal studies.

The business has no physical location, but instead relies on private clients who call when they need a service.

“I love being outside,” Nunn said,

adding that it is her favorite part of dog walking and helping clients take care of their pets.

Nunn Better has half-hour visits up to four times a day for $22, hourlong visits for $30 and overnight visits for $75 a night.

“It’s a jam-packed day for sure,” Nunn said, counting about 10 to 15 walks per day.

Poop scooping, which Nunn called “crucial for the health of pets,” is included in all services, she said.

“You can tell a lot about the dogs’ diet and health based on their stool.”

Dog walking takes “a different kind of person,” Hoffman said.

“You have to love animals, be disciplined and have a flexible schedule,” she said.

The Tucson City Council voted unanimously last Wednesday to rec-ommend that the Arizona Liquor Board deny a liquor license transfer to the Avenue Bar and Grill, a new busi-ness proposed by former North on Fourth nightclub owners Patrick Nash and Andrew Sommers.

The decision came after a heated city council meeting Oct. 6 at which several citizens objected on grounds of safety and parking concerns.

No one, not even Nash or Sommers, showed at the city hall to protest the offi cial thumbs down. Though the Ari-zona State Liquor Board has the fi nal say, the businessmen have been effec-tively cut off.

North on Fourth, a former hip-hop night spot at 536 N. Fourth Ave , has been closed since building owner Tony Vaccaro , who also owns neighboring Brooklyn Pizza Co. , decided not to re-new North’s lease and expand his new project, Sky Bar .

In an Aug. 24 letter to the city coun-cil, Sommers and Nash detailed their next idea: a roughly 10,000-square-foot restaurant and music spot to be built down the block called Avenue Bar and Grill. The yet-to-break-ground project would combine 522 and 526 N. Fourth Ave., currently the Creative Ventures craft mall and an adjacent parking lot. The new facility would feature fl at screen TVs, music stages and historic Fourth Avenue-themed décor.

Adding a “unique fi ne dining” restau-rant to the neighborhood excited some and infuriated others, even though Nash and Sommers insisted that their new lease forbids the use of the prop-erty as a night club.

“I don’t have very much trust that if they opened a new place it would be any different than North was, and I don’t want to work near North any-more,” said Mariah Hoenig , a Pima Community College student who has worked at Brooklyn Pizza, next door to North, for 3 years. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been working here and I had to go outside and call the cops because people were getting slammed into the street.”

Megan Algeri, a waitress at Bumsted’s , said she’s noticed a posi-tive change on Fourth Avenue since North closed. Bumsted’s stands next

New question: Do you stay for the

What are your thoughts on the whole balloon-boy thing that just hap-pened?

I don’t know any-thing about that. I’ve seen it on the news a couple of times, but I really don’t know a lot of the details about it.

Basically, this guy and his wife in Lar-imer County, Colo-rado lied that their kid climbed into a weather balloon and it started to float away. It was a stunt to try and get them on TV or something like that. What do you think about that situation?

Uh, I think (pauses) I don’t know. I think that’s wrong in a lot of ways, really. I think people are really desperate for money and their 15 minutes of fame so they’ll do almost anything to get that.

What do you think should be done to the parents of that poor 6-year-old kid, Falcon?

Oh, I guess (pauses) I mean, I really have no idea. I guess in a way it’s a form of child abuse because they’re using their child for exploitation I guess.

Yeah, they told their son to hide in the attic while the police looked for him for like five hours. The kid even said it was a stunt and his parents told him to do it. Should child services step in, maybe make them take a class or take their kids away because they’re bad parents?

Yeah, well I don’t know if they should take their kids away. But definitely child services should probably step in and check out the situ-ation because if the parents are willing to do something like that then they’re probably willing to do some-thing other than that that’s also not good for their children either. So something should be done, yeah.

Would these peo-ple’s kids be better off being raised by wolves or something instead of having to deal with parents like that?

Probably not. (Laughs) I don’t think children should be raised by wolves, but maybe in other situations it might work out sometimes. (Laughs)

LONDON — Britain’s press watchdog said Monday it had received a record 21,000 com-plaints about a newspaper col-umn on the death of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately after critics used Twitter to brand the article homophobic and insensitive.

Gately died Oct. 10, at age 33, while vacationing on the

Spanish island of Mallorca. An autopsy found he had died of natural causes from pulmonary edema, or fluid in the lungs.

Daily Mail columnist Jan Moir wrote in a column Friday that Gately’s death was “not, by any yardstick, a natural one” and said he died in “sleazy” circum-stances. She noted that Gately, who came out pub-licly as gay in 1999, had been to a bar and invited a young Bulgarian man back to his apartment the night before he died.

Moir concluded that “under the carapace of glitter-ing, hedonistic celebrity, the ooze of a very different and more dangerous lifestyle has seeped out for all to see.”

Anger at the column swept social networking site Twitter soon after Moir’s piece appeared on the pa-per’s Web site. Actor Stephen Fry urged his 860,000 Twitter followers to contact the Press Complaints Commission. Other prominent Tweeters followed suit, and provided links to the commission’s Web site.

Advertisers including retail chain Marks and Spen-cer asked to have their ads removed from the Mail Web page carrying Moir’s column.

In a blog post Monday, Fry called Moir’s column an “epically ill-judged piece of gutter journalism.”

Moir defended her article, claiming suggestions of homophobia were “mischievous” and suggesting the backlash was a “heavily orchestrated Internet cam-paign.”

The commission said Monday it had received “by far the highest number of complaints ever” about a single article. It said it would write to the newspaper seeking a response before deciding whether to take further action.

Irish boy band Boyzone sold millions of albums in the 1990s and had six British No. 1 singles, includ-ing “All That I Need” and a cover of the Bee Gees’ “Words.”

Under the British media’s self-regulatory system, newspapers are bound to adhere to the commission’s code of practice, which includes commitments to ac-curacy, respect for privacy and avoiding “pejorative reference” to an individual’s race, color, religion or disability.

Column on singer’s death draws ire

New York driver proves cats really do have nine livesNEW YORK — A cat who rode two

miles through New York City while stuck in the engine compartment of an SUV has lived to meow about it.

Wilfred Rodriguez heard rattling while he was driving Monday in the Bronx. After he parked, he spotted a bushy tail and a

paw sticking out of the SUV’s front end.His initial reaction: “Oh my God! I

killed a cat.” He was relieved when the paw moved.

Detectives with the New York Police Department’s Emergency Service Unit freed the grease-covered kitty by remov-

ing the SUV’s battery and other vehicle parts.

Richard Gentles of New York City Ani-mal Care & Control says the tan-and-white stray appears to be in good physi-cal shape.

You already rock, so why not pop into Rock and American Popular Music? It satisfies Tier Two general education requirements for Arts; Gender, Race, Class, Ethnicity; and Non-Western Area Studies.

The class is a survey of the history of popular music from the 1950s to the pres-ent and an examination of the issues in the music industry.

“We also look at business, technology, gender, ethnicity and how those affect mu-sic,” class instructor Brian Moon said.

The class is not lecture-based. Instead, students listen to music and watch videos that correlate with the class outline.

“I sometimes show bits and pieces of documentaries,” Moon said. “Also, we watch music videos and discuss how images relate to the song and the meaning of it.”

Each student is required to prepare and write a song by the end of the se-mester, as well as complete other proj-ects, but prior knowledge of songwriting is not required.

“My current class is about to do a project to create a fictitious music festival,” Moon said. This is one of the ways of getting students to reflect on a time period and its

effect on music, he said.“They are going to be required to have

festival bands of different times that all relate to one theme,” Moon added.

Students are put in groups, usually with at least one musician, and are matched by common interest.

Students who take the morning lectures for this class are generally athletes because they have priority in registration.

“Honestly, the more priority you have in enrollment, the better your chance is of get-ting into the class,” Moon said.

Because of high demand, the class has added seats every semester since its inception. It began with around 120 seats, and currently it offers places for 200 to 300 students.

“They presume it will be easy and inter-esting,” Moon said. “And they’re probably right. People are interested in this music, and I teach you about music that you pre-sumably listen to.”

When there is a major event — such as Ashlee Simpson lip-syncing, the movie “Walk the Line” or Michael Jack-son’s death — there are discussions held, giving students the opportunity to voice their opinions and analyze how events like these affect music.

“People say ‘Ashley Simpson makes music that’s fake,’” Moon said. “But it’s

much more complicated than that. By understanding marketing, music and all the processes of recording they’ll be aware of much more.”

Moon, like the music he studies, moves with the times.

“I try to stay current so I’m not entirely clueless,” Moon said. “I follow most all types of popular music — from rap to country to rock to indie to punk and more.”

Since music is personal, so are the as-signments, Moon added.

“I try to make assignments that allow students to find what they’re interested in and present it,” he said. “I let them fill in the story when I might have skipped over their favorite band ever.”

“This class is interesting and the as-signments are a lot of fun,” said Abe Zverow, an undecided sophomore. “There are really interesting articles we analyze and it’s fun for everybody.”

A Friend Dies. Who Cares?Toxic drinking is an epidemic on campuses all across America.

It means consuming so much alcohol the drinker passes out. But while “sleeping it off,” the victim may be quietly dying.

When you come right down to it, studentsthemselves are the best ones to tackle this problem. So, in growing numbers, Stony Brook students have joined together in the Red Watch Band movement.

Working with experts, they fine-tuned acourse in techniques to handle these alcohol emergencies. Red Watch Band members can act fast, when every secondcounts.They know the quick steps they can take to rescue a passed-out student from a drinking death, and can immediatelysummon professional help. Everyone completing the course is given the dis tinctive red watch for identification.

Since its inception at Stony Brook University in March 2009, approximately 40 schools across the country have signed on to implement this lifesaving program.

Students learn to rock in American music classBy Michelle Monroe ArizonA DAily WilDcAt

Every week the Daily Wildcat checks out an unusual class on campus. Know of a class that breaks the mold? Send suggestions to [email protected]

Lisa Beth Earle/Arizona Daily WildcatBrian Moon teaches a Rock and American Popular Music course. The class empha-sizes the history of rock music but Moon also enjoys teaching about soul music and tries to stay up-to-date on contemporary music trends.

a real class act

expectation that we are going to be building a lot of big buildings and do-ing these grand things. No, we develop the street car, we do the pipes and we make sure everything is modern to be able to accommodate an expanded presence downtown. We do the public structures like the convention center. Those are our responsibilities.

In the four years I have been here, we extended the Tax Increment Financing so that instead of having access to about $120 million, we have access to as much as half a billion dollars. Big difference.

I want our kids, our brains, to be able to stay in this community with good jobs.

The downtown revitalization plays two roles. One: you want some place

to go and hang out. There are tons of things happening downtown. Zen Rock has lines every Friday and Sat-urday night to get in, there are tons of restaurants, the Rialto is amazing. Club Congress brings in great acts. There is tons of stuff going on for young people now and it is growing.

Q: What are you doing to stim-ulate development and increase the number of available jobs for future graduates?

A: We need to bring in major em-ployers. We need to build the business climate that’s going to make it possible for small businesses to expand. To be able to hire the young people who are graduating who want to make Tucson their home. But we need to be attracting

specifically green industries. We have new green building codes that I led the way on that passed about a month ago. We have created a local green building standard because the national standard doesn’t understand the des-ert and doesn’t give enough weight to water conservation and to solar use. As we become more green in how we build, there are going to be more jobs for people in high-tech green industry. And that will attract students.

Q: Public safety is a big issue in the upcoming election. What are your plans to lower the crime rate? What have you done previously to work towards this goal?

A: In April of 2006, I was part of the unanimous decision by this mayor and

council to hire additional police and firefighters to bring us up to national standards within 10 years. In the first two years we added 40 police officers each year.

When we made this decision two or three years ago, we also hired enough firefighters to bring them to full service. And then the economy tanked.

I believe in doing all the things we want to do but you have to be fiscally responsible and it would have been irresponsible to continue hiring if we didn’t have money to pay for it. It is not just a salary. It’s the uniform, the gun, the computers, cars, support staff.

Then you have to have increased public defenders and prosecutors on both the city and county side. You need more judges and courtrooms. And we

will need more jail cells. So the finan-cial cost of Prop 200 is incredible.

Q: City roads are another issue that concerns students. What have you done previously to improve infrastructure?

A: No neighborhood road repairs had been done for 20 years when we took office. The 2006 budget included a massive street paving program. I was able to provide for the paving of five square miles of city streets. We got through about seven neighborhoods, then the economy tanked. That’s not an excuse; that’s a fact. We have to balance our budget. The Republican leadership in the state still doesn’t have a balanced budget and it’s October. We balanced ours in the middle of June.

Road repairs halted by economic downturn, says councilwomanCOUNCILcontinued from page A1

As a professional institute of knowledge, one would expect the UA to excel at the delivery of services to students.

Whether it is at the library, student unions or on the Internet, students have the right to speedy university-provided services. We are, after all, very busy people. WebMail is per-haps one of the most important services the University can provide us, as it helps students, faculty and staff stay connected to teachers, teaching assistants, fellow classmates, adminis-tration and many other campus institutions. So when WebMail isn’t working properly it can be exceedingly frustrating.

Just last week, with an upcoming deadline for a group project in one of my classes, my fellow group members and I relied on the university WebMail to send information back and forth because our schedules rarely allowed the seven of us to meet in person.

As group projects often go, some of our members waited until the very last minute to send over their portion of the annotated bib-liography that was due along with our project. About an hour before the project was due, our group members decided to send all the information to one person in order to compile it into one paper. Students are used to the old one-click method where we write our e-mail, click a button, and, voilà, the e-mail is sent in a matter of seconds. However, in the last few weeks this wasn’t always the case.

When my group was trying to e-mail information to one another, instead of taking seconds for the e-mails to send and show up in the inbox of the receiver, it would take hours. Finally fed up with the sluggish UA WebMail, my group members and I resorted

to sending information via Facebook, simply because it was faster.

While I love to think that the slow pace of WebMail the day our project was due was some form of karma for procrastination, similar prob-lems have persisted for a while now.

For example, when I attempted to forward information to group members and e-mail the teacher our topic for review, the forwarded mes-sage took one day to send. The latter took nearly two days to send.

WebMail isn’t the only problematic technology at present. Just this past weekend, seniors and various other groups tried registering for classes only to see an “unexpected downtime” message pop up during certain registration time slots. What kind of message do these seri-ous technical difficulties send to the people who pay for an education?

Moving back to the problems with WebMail, it’s a bit sad that uni-versity students had to resort to a social networking site in order to send informa-tion back and forth in a timely manner.

According to the University Information Technology Services, the slow delivery of mail in the past few weeks is due to hardware problems, and d2l e-mail was unaffected by said problems.

Hardware problems are under-standable, and don’t even get me started on all of the infuriating qualities of d2-hell. But slow send rates aren’t the only problem

WebMail gives UA students. Some students report having a massive

influx of spam in their inboxes everyday and problems logging into WebAuth — for example, putting in your net ID and password and pressing enter only to have the page re-fresh instead of logging into your WebMail, or logging into WebMail only to have it log you out before you can see your inbox.

Luckily, it seems as though WebMail’s tech-nical difficulties have ended, for now. Hope-fully in the future, UA e-mail will become more polished and more convenient, because buggy programs funded by our school reflect poorly on the university.

Wideworld Sportswear contracts at the UA

Yesterday, the Wildcat reported that the UA Department of Trademark and Licensing has chosen another company to “take over the lion’s share of UA apparel production.”

This apparent change in apparel companies occurred in light of the UA ending its contract with Russell Athletics.

Among other grievances, Russell Corporation was report-ed to have not taken appropriate measures in ensuring the rights of its workers at the Jerzees de Honduras factory.

Though the UofA Bookstore is currently selling through the rest of the Russell merchandise, the UA gets a hit for finding a replacement company when it could have been easy to overlook the reported employee abuse.

Isn’t that awkward, Oprah?

Alaska’s famous past governor Sarah Palin will be a guest on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Nov. 16, the day before the re-lease of Palin’s memoir “Going Rogue.” This comes after Palin’s uncomfortable, not-so-great interview with Katie Couric.

I’m hopeful that Palin will have a better experience with Oprah, despite the fact that Ms. Winfrey campaigned heavily for President Barack Obama.

I wrote earlier on that Palin jokes are proving to be boring and unnecessary in the media, and I’m holding out for Oprah to be the bigger person and refrain from making nasty remarks.

This wouldn’t be the first time Oprah shames a guest, as shown when she publicly denounced author James Frey for fabricating his memoir. For appearing to open up to a con-servative, let alone a candidate she did not endorse on her TV show, Oprah gets a hit.

The Wildcat editorial board has major concerns with the new ASUA special events poll.

Nearly six months have passed since the Last Smash Platinum Bash concert, which lost over $1 million, and the As-sociated Students of the University of Arizona has the nerve to send out a poll about what other kinds of concerts should take place on campus.

Yesterday, the Wildcat reported that ASUA would ask for concert input “in an effort to fix a reputation dam-aged by last semester’s disastrous Jay-Z concert.” This new endeavor will have the opposite effect to ameliorating ASUA’s tarnished name.

The concert most certainly did not break even, and it did not sell out. What makes ASUA think that sensible students will trust the organization to put on another concert?

In the Wildcat report, ASUA executive special events coor-dinator Caleb Wilson focused on the importance of making students happy. “We want students to come to shows and see bands they like,” he said. Has this ASUA representative, along with other members of the organization, wondered if students would be happier without any more concerts in the coming years?

Most students and staff weren’t pleased about the signifi-cant damage done by the Last Smash Platinum Bash concert, and ASUA should not be so determined to spend more money on these big shows, especially so soon after such a flop.

We hope the real focus of this poll is to ask students whether or not they’d approve of future concerts rather than which performers they’d most like to see. Judging by Wilson’s further comment, “this survey is really all about finding out what the students want and like,” we suspect that the poll is aimed more toward concert promotion.

To further demonstrate this point, ASUA President Chris Nagata even mentioned that the special events survey will “keep (ASUA) in check and help (ASUA) provide services that students are interested in.”

Even if concerts are really what students “want and like” and are “interested in,” why not consider what they need instead? What about what the university needs? Isn’t it the job of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona to look out for the university’s best interests?

We should be able to differentiate between what we desire and what we need. It’s not crucial for us to experience another concert on this campus, but we would benefit from a univer-sity that has fewer financial crises.

As much as we appreciate ASUA’s efforts in making the UA a more fun institution of higher learning, they should be very cautious about planning more concerts. Even if students respond positively to the survey and demand more shows, ASUA should realize that not all of these students will follow through with concert purchases. There were, after all, many empty seats at the Last Smash Platinum Bash concert.

It’s easy for survey takers to request a Taylor Swift concert be held at the UA, but many of these students may not be in a financial situation to pay for a frivolous event once the artist finally makes it out to Tucson. It’s likely these voters will have lost interest in certain performers by concert time. When it comes to performances, there are so many potential losses at hand, and we really don’t need any more of those. ASUA needs to be mindful of this before inviting another star to sing in Centennial Hall, Arizona Stadium or anywhere else on campus.

Above all else, we leave it up to the majority of students to recognize the detriments that past concerts have done to this university. Here’s to wishing everyone learned from this abominable mistake, since ASUA clearly did not.

High times near Highland CommonsUniversity of Arizona Police Department officers were dispatched

to Highland Commons on Oct. 10 at 11:30 p.m. in reference to two men allegedly smoking marijuana in the area.

Upon arrival, officers observed two men seated on a concrete bench on the south side of the grassy area. As officers approached, they noticed that one of the men was smoking what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette. As police got closer, the man attempted to smother the cigarette by crushing it out on the bench. Officers also observed the man making a throwing motion, as if to throw the cigarette away.

Police contacted the men, who identified themselves with Cali-fornia driver’s licenses. Officers were able to locate the object that the man threw on the ground and described it as a half-inch-long burnt marijuana cigarette.

The man who threw the cigarette was cited on charges of posses-sion of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The other man admitted to police that he had been in trouble for marijuana before and had a meeting with the Dean of Students in three days. Police referred the incident to the Dean of Students Office and re-leased both men on scene.

Wrong-way driver ends up with DUIUAPD officers were on routine patrol westbound on East First

Avenue on Oct. 11 at 1:04 a.m. when they observed a Scion travel-ing the wrong direction toward them on the one-way street, being followed by a taxi.

Officers activated their lights and sirens and the drivers of both vehicles came to a stop. Police questioned the taxi driver, who told them that earlier in the evening, the driver of the Scion had struck his cab and was attempting to flee the scene. The cab driver claimed that he had been following the Scion and trying to get the driver to pull over, but was unsuccessful.

Police contacted the driver of the Scion and noticed the strong odor of intoxicants coming from the vehicle. The driver identified himself using an Arizona driver’s license and officers asked him to step out of the vehicle. Once outside, the driver admitted to having “a couple of drinks.”

Field sobriety tests were performed and police placed the man under arrest for DUI to the slightest degree. He was transported to the UAPD station where a breathalyzer test was conducted.

According to police, the man had a BAC of .152 and was addi-tionally cited on charges of DUI-.08 or greater, extreme DUI-.15 or greater, unsafe backing and driving the wrong way on a one-way street. The Scion was impounded for a mandatory 30-day period and the man was released into the custody of a friend.

That’s what friends are forUAPD officers responded to the Apache-Santa Cruz Residence

Hall on Oct. 11 at 2:20 a.m. in reference to a report of several males arguing in the area. Upon arrival, officers observed a group of seven men standing in a circle on the west side of the residence hall.

As officers exited their vehicle, they saw one man take a swing at another man and then turn and walk northbound on Highland Avenue. Police detained the man who threw the punch and placed him in handcuffs. They questioned the man, who told them that he had been drinking that evening with his friends. He had passed out and while he was unconscious, his friends used a marker to draw all over his face, hands and arms. He then claimed that he was walk-ing down the street with his friends when two men began yelling at him, referencing the marker on his body. He confronted the two men until he felt threatened by them and so he threw a punch to protect himself.

According to police, the strong odor of intoxicants was detected coming from the man’s mouth. He was cited on charges of minor in possession and released on scene. The incident has been referred to the Dean of Students.

Going down biting and skatingUAPD officers responded to the Sky View Apartments on Oct. 11

at approximately 3:21 a.m. in reference to a report of a disorderly male resident.

Upon arrival, officers met with a resident assistant who told po-lice that the man lived on the third floor and she believed he was in his room. Police went to the room and made contact with one of the man’s roommates. The roommate told police that the man was inside, “breaking my stuff.”

Officers entered the residence and observed broken furniture, a folding chair and a skateboard scattered about the room. Police then proceeded to the disorderly man’s room. Standing in the open doorway, officers observed two men in the room. One was asleep on a bed at the far end of the room and the other was sitting on a bed near the door. Officers asked the man near the door if he was a resident of the room and he replied that he was. The man gave police permission to enter the room and they attempted to wake the unconscious roommate.

Police were eventually able to wake the man and they questioned him. He told officers that he had been dragged from his bed and assaulted by his roommates. He then told officers he had been sit-ting in a chair when he was attacked. Police asked the man about the broken furniture and he claimed he had broken it during his struggle with his roommates.

According to the man’s roommates, they had returned to the apartment after a night of drinking with the man. He became upset after being teased and he slapped one roommate and bit another. The man then started to swing a skateboard around the room and the roommates had to physically restrain him.

Based upon the roommates’ description of the evening, the man was cited on charges of domestic violence-disorderly conduct, do-mestic violence-criminal damage, domestic violence-assault and minor in possession. He was transported to Pima County Jail, where he was booked. The incident has been referred to the Dean of Stu-dents Office.

Although offense has not been a problem for the Arizona Icecats this season, Leo Golembiewski’s club will welcome back one of the team’s big-gest offensive threats for the two-game series at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas this weekend.

Sophomore forward Brady Lefferts was cleared to play last week and will make his season debut for the Icecats this Friday in Sin City. Lefferts has been out for more than four weeks with a displaced hip, an injury that required daily treatment.

After battling through a month of physical therapy and pain from the in-jury, Lefferts is amped to get back on the ice.

“I am really excited,” Lefferts said. “It will be good to have everyone out there together.”

Lefferts was third on the team in points last year and truly broke onto the scene during his second semes-ter. He played in every game as a

freshman, posting 14 goals and 14 assists, and hopes to pick up right where he left off.

“I hope to bring a scoring threat to the team,” Lefferts said. “With the in-coming guys and the returning guys we can hopefully have two lines that can put the puck in the net at any time.”

The Icecats have scored 17 goals in the last three games and are looking to continue the scoring barrage with Lefferts back in the mix.

“With him back, we have the talent to have two fi rst lines, two lines that can really score,” said junior co-captain Jordan Schupan , the team’s current scoring leader. “We have the guys to put up a lot of goals this season.”

If anyone knows the importance of a player like Lefferts, it’s Schupan.

The two had terrifi c chemistry last season, when they were line mates for the majority of the season. Schupan said that the two enjoyed that same chemistry on the ice early this season — until Lefferts went down with the

I’ve always been told to stay in the present and address the future as it comes, but an ambitious person like myself has a hard time not thinking

about what lies ahead. My most recent glimpse into my crystal ball in-

volves the Arizona football program. While standing on the sideline in the waning minutes of Arizona’s 43-38 victory over Stanford, I couldn’t help but get a little caught up in the moment.

“This team is for real,” I said out loud to whoever was within earshot. There’s a lot to like about this year’s Wildcat squad — a lot of talent, great chem-istry and, of course, Nick Foles .

Foles looked like a seasoned NFL veteran on Sat-urday. He never backed down, he never panicked and he never ducked out of the spotlight. His big arm and admirable demeanor will go a long way toward help-ing his future, and it will also help the Wildcats’ future.

But the future is a funny thing in college sports. A program that rests its fate on the shoulders of one player has, at absolute best, a four-year tour with said player. More realistically, a college player is only able to carry a team for one or two years — especially at a position as demanding and diffi cult as quarterback.

But Foles is only a sophomore, which means that he could potentially be under center for UA head coach Mike Stoops for two full years after this one.

It got me thinking — how good can this team be for the next few years with a face-of-the-program-type QB in Foles?

I looked at the roster to see what underclassmen could return next season, and my jaw nearly dropped. Just take a minute to read this list of players who are either starting or receiving signifi cant playing time.

Running backs Nic Grigsby, Keola Antolin and Greg Nwoko; receivers Delashaun Dean, Juron Criner, Bug Wright, David Roberts and David Douglas; tight end Rob Gronkowski; offensive linemen Colin Baxter, Conan Amituanai and Vaughn Dotsy; defensive linemen Brooks Reed, Ricky Elmore and Lolomana Mikaele; and defen-sive backs Trevin Wade and Robert Golden.

I don’t think I need to tell you how staggering that is — just reading that list is physically taxing. But rest your eyes for a moment, because there’s more.

Senior linebackers Vuna Tuihalamaka, Xavier Kelley and Sterling Lewis, along with free safety Cam Nelson, will all be missed when they graduate after this season, but current freshmen Jake Fischer, R.J. Young, Trevor Erno and Adam Hall are waiting in the wings and more than capable of picking up where the seniors left off.

And those injuries that have seriously hurt the Wildcats this season could turn out to be a blessing for next year. Gronkowski, Reed and Dean — UA’s best options to enter the NFL Draft as juniors — have all missed time this season due to injury and would boost their draft stock by returning for a senior season.

Now, all that being said, I realize that there is a lot of time between now and next season. There are plenty of games still to be played and there’s no telling what could happened between now and then.

Even thinking about asking a current player or coach how good the Wildcats could be next season would be foolish — you’ll be blacklisted faster than Seinfeld’s Elaine was from Hop Sing’s restaurant after complain-ing about her Chinese food — but it certainly is some-thing worth considering.

What it boils down to is this: the Arizona football program is in fantastic shape. The number of fans that have been so quick to criticize Stoops over the years is shrinking by the day and the number of fans jumping on Arizona football’s bandwagon is growing.

And if you’re into bandwagons, I’ve got some room on mine. It’s called “Arizona Football: 2010 Rose Bowl Champions.”

All are welcome.

The defensive backs during UA football head coach Mike Stoops’ tenure have seemingly tak-en center stage.

Former UA safety Michael Johnson, a solid player in college, made his way to the NFL and won Super Bowl XLII with the New York Giants . Wildcat fans also have fond memories of former cornerback Antoine Cason . During his senior year in Tucson, Cason won the Jim Thorpe Award given out annually to the nation’s best defensive back.

This season, seniors Devin Ross and Cam Nelson lead the way, as sophomores Robert Golden and Trevin Wade round out a stout secondary.

But another player recently worked his way into the rotation and could become just as well-known as the others.

“Joe Perkins, he’s been playing real great and coach Mark (Stoops) wanted us to rotate a lot (against Washington and Stanford). We both played an equal amount of snaps and every-thing, so it was all good,” Golden said. “Joe Per-kins is a really good player. He deserves to be out there on the fi eld just as much as I do.”

Perkins — called Perk by coaches and team-mates — paid his dues on special teams last year as he recorded 18 tackles on kick coverage plays

alone in 2008. That hard work is paying off in the form of more playing time this season.

Arizona’s game against Washington was the fi rst time Perkins saw signifi cant action in the secondary, and that trend continued during last week’s game against Stanford. He responded by recording six tackles, including four solo takedowns.

“Just like last year, I got a couple of reps in, and I just wanted to make sure I was ready when my chance came,” Perkins said. “That’s all I’m trying to do now, is take advantage of the opportunities I get.

“I’m always on Trevin’s side and I know him from back when we used to get in — his fresh-man year and my sophomore year — in reserve duty,” he added. “It’s been pretty normal and what I expected. It’s been a blast.”

It appears as if Perkins could be enjoying him-self for a while longer. UA defensive coordinator Mark Stoops said he’s trying to fi gure out more ways to get the 6-foot-2, 198-pound defensive back on the fi eld. Nickelback could be one possi-bility, he said, but Perkins will certainly continue to be in the rotation in the secondary.

“There’s certain things we can do to get Perk out there (at nickelback),” Mark Stoops said. “When guys earn the right to play and they’re playing well then you try and fi nd some space for them.

“I’d say he’s a guy where if he would have got-

ten every rep like some of the other guys he’d be making just as many plays,” he added. “That’s why I think it’s important to give him a fair chance to get in there and see what he can do.”

And Perkins has shown he can do a lot in various spots, but he doesn’t care what position he lines up in. When he’s on the fi eld, he just wants to do his job and try to make plays.

“It really doesn’t matter. Free (safety) is more in the box. That’s fi ne, I like that,” Perkins said. “When you’re in the box it’s a little more to know, but strong is fi ne too. All of us (defensive backs) can play any spot. It really doesn’t matter because we’re all interchangeable.”

This is Perkins’ third season playing for Stoops, and he’s getting more comfortable with the system. As a transfer from El Camino College , a community college in California, he had some trouble with the transition to the college game early on, Mark Stoops said, but that’s behind him now. It’s what is in front of Perkins that’s important: the opportunity for more playing time and continual improvement.

“It’s fi ne, just a long-awaited process, but you can’t get impatient about it,” Perkins said. “The coaches know what they’re doing, so it just makes you better in the end … Hopefully we’re still rotating and I can just go in and do my part for the team.”

The future is bright


After completing 40-of-51 passes to the tune of 415 yards and three touchdowns, Nick Foles has not only become a star in Tucson but a nationally-known name. The Arizona Daily Wildcat’s Tim Kosch caught up with Foles to talk about off-the-fi eld activities and life as a starting quarterback.

Daily Wildcat: A few days removed, how do you feel about your performance against Stanford?

Nick Foles: It was a good performance but it was more of a whole offensive performance. It was all of the guys on the offense.

DW: Now that you’ve gone from backup to elite starter, has your life changed at all?

NF: Not really, I just keep it the same. I don’t worry about that other stuff around me. It helps your confi dence as a quarterback, but I keep ev-erything the same.

DW: How did you hear about being nominated for the AT&T/ESPN Player of the Week award?

NF: Oh man, I got a lot of text messages about that.

DW: Well, I was at a party, and when the commercial came on with your nomination ev-erybody in the room went crazy. Any sort of celebration like that for you?

NF: By that time I’d gotten a lot of text mes-sages about it, so I already knew. I didn’t get any sort of heads up (from ESPN) or anything. It was already out there.

DW: Do you ever take your on-� eld skills to the screen and play NCAA Football ’10? Ever play as yourself?

NF: I do, but I haven’t in a while. I don’t usually play as myself. I actually haven’t played in a pretty long time.

DW: All right, well we’ll stay with the screen. What’s your favorite TV show?

NF: I’d have to go with “Smallville.” I grew up liking Superman, always liked it as a kid and then started watching this show in high school and I’ve stayed with it.

DW: How about music? What’s on Nick Foles’ iPod?

NF: I don’t really have a favorite band, but I’d have to go with any country music.

DW: What’s the best country music concert you’ve ever seen?

NF: Alan Jackson.

DW: You’ve been asked so many questions about football these past few weeks, tell us some-thing that the world doesn’t know about you.

NF: I love playing basketball. In my spare time in the spring I’ll play at the Rec with the guys on the team.

DW: There must be some talented ballers on this team. If you could pick the starting-� ve of football players what would it be?

NF: Shoot, I don’t know if I could do that, if I said that somebody’s feeling could get hurt. But I’ll go with David Douglas, Juron Criner, Trevin Wade, Cam Nelson and Rob Gronkowski . That’s a pretty good team, but there’s a lot of good guys out there.

DW: Where are you on that team?NF: It’s hard to watch. I get embarrassed

watching myself.

THE DAY BEFORE EVERY FOOTBALL HOME GAME!Oct 23, Nov 6, & Nov 20.BIGCA

FRIDA

THIS FRIDAY IS

Despite a 1-0 loss to Washington State on Sunday, the Arizona soccer team fi nally looked like a team with a pulse.

Although Arizona failed to score for the fourth consecutive game, the team played with tenacity, passion and heart.

All the things they did on Sunday are things they have failed to do all season long.

For the fi rst time this season, the Wildcats competed for a full 90 minutes and looked like a team that expected nothing less than a win.

“It was a little bit of a different team,” said co-interim head coach John Galas after Sunday’s game. “It’s kind of like the team we’ve been waiting to see in terms of energy level and commitment.”

Galas described the team as a little different, but in fact it was immensely different.

Though the Wildcats couldn’t avoid being shut out for the seventh time this season, their offen-sive rhythm was drastically improved.

They didn’t allow the opponent to control the game but instead they attacked, not allowing the opponent to relax.

For the fi rst time this season the Wildcats virtually outplayed their opponents, the Washington State Cougars, the entire game, even outshooting them 12-6. This was all done without leading scorer Renae Cuellar , who sat out with fl u-like symptoms.

After a 2-0 loss to Washington on Friday night, Galas stressed that the team needed to get more shots and develop a rhythm of-fensively. Whatever he and co-interim head coach Lisa Oyen did in Saturday’s training session before Sunday’s game should be du-plicated for the remaining practices, because it worked.

One of the most telling plays of the entire weekend was made by redshirt junior Alex Davis .

In the middle of the fi rst half in Sunday’s game, it appeared that Washington State’s goalkeeper would get to the ball outside the penalty box, but Davis hustled up the fi eld to kick the ball past the goalkeeper, who had made her way about 20 feet out of net. The ball rolled in front of the net until it went out of bounds on the opposite side of the goal, missing the net by about a foot.

Though Davis couldn’t get the ball in the goal on the play, the effort was confi rmation that the team came into the game with a new attitude.

The effort displayed by the Wildcats made them a team that was easy to root for, and even made it hard to watch them lose on a question-able penalty kick awarded to Washington State after they had clearly outplayed the Cougars for most of the game.

Some will attribute the team’s newfound energy to the coaching change; I wouldn’t go that far just yet.

But if the team continues to play this well and earns a few wins, I might have to reconsider. And then, Athletic Director Jim Livengood would have to consider both Oyen and Galas as head coaching candidates.

with the injury.“We were actually playing together

for the first month of practice, and we were really clicking,” Schupan said.

The Icecats have yet to play a game at full strength, but despite this have man-aged to win two of their last three.

Although it was hard for the Icecats to play at full force without Lefferts, it was even harder for the sophomore for-ward to sit and watch.

“It was so difficult to sit out,” Lefferts said. “I didn’t miss a game last year, and I usually don’t miss games at all. It’s re-ally tough to know the team is out there and I could be helping them out, but I have to sit back and not do anything about whether we have a chance to win or not.”

About a week before the two-game series against ASU, Lefferts injured his hip in practice. One of the joints in his hip was pushed out of place, causing the other joints to grind against each other. Lefferts was in pain for the better part of three weeks, but finally saw progress as a result of rigorous rehab.

Last night was the first time the sophomore has tested the hip on the ice in more than four weeks.

Lefferts finally feels that he is at 100 percent and isn’t worried about find-ing a role with a new-look Icecats team. With his return, the Icecats hope for a sweep at UNLV this weekend.

“We know we need to grab two games,” Schupan said. “We’re going to have (Lefferts) back, which is going to be a great addition to our team. We have to start getting sweeps now as we look to nationals.”

#13 Brady Lefferts Class: Sophomore Height: 6-foot-2 Weight: 175 lbs. Pos: ForwardHometown: Anthem, AZ

Daily Wildcat: How has the rehabilitation process been?

Brady Lefferts: It’s been difficult because it felt like there wasn’t much progress for the first couple of weeks, and then all of the sudden it got better over a week. But the first couple of weeks it just felt like it wasn’t going to get better.

DW: What did you do, rehabilitation-wise?

BL: I went in every day, did a lot of strength and balance stuff. I wrapped bands around my ankles and tried to walk or move my legs out to strengthen it. I also had (an) ultrasound put on it for the muscles.

DW: A lot of the young forwards have been playing well. Where do you expect to fit into the equation, line-wise?

BL: Whichever way coach decides to go with, I’m sure it will work out. All I can do is go out there and play. I feel like any combination could be really good because we have a really deep team this year.

DW: Do you think it will be tough to adjust to playing with all of these new guys?

BL: I’m not too worried about it. I think I’ll be able to fill into a role. It might take a little while to get ready, but I think we’ll figure it out pretty quickly.

to where Nash and Sommers want to build Avenue.

“I wrote a protest letter, and I’m glad they didn’t get their license. It’s a 10,000-square-foot building. That’s huge to have North’s kind of customers,” she said.

Maebelle Reed, owner of Plush, another bar at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Sixth Street, said friend-ly meetings with Sommers and Nash didn’t quell her fears.

“It was very difficult to believe that if they couldn’t figure out how to do it in the eight or nine years they were in the one spot, why (would) moving to another spot make any difference?” she said in a phone interview Thursday.

Reed said she would have consid-ered supporting the transfer if Avenue had filed for a restaurant liquor license which would limit the profits that could be made from liquor sales.

“There are things that happen on the street that are collectively everybody’s problem,” Reed said.

“It was almost like (North was) a magnet for violent activity,” she added.

A report compiled by the Tucson Po-lice Department in July cited over 530 incidents at North between 2001 and 2009, though that was not enough to lose TPD’s support for the transfer.

Sgt. Victor Garcia II of the Downtown Operations Division wrote to the city, “I have come to (Sommers and Nash) with suggestions that I felt would im-prove situations and found them to be immediately implemented. The direc-tion they are heading … will help to di-minish some of the negative issues that can accompany bars on 4th.”

Eddie Martinez, a doorman at IBT’s,

a block away from where North op-erated since 2001, said, “When I first came here, that bar was bad. But over the years, they’ve straightened it up.”

Martinez has worked at IBT’s for six years.

“A lot of people are still thinking about the way it used to be,” he said. “You (can) actually walk in there and feel comfortable now.”

David Hall has lived one block off of Fourth Avenue since 1987. He supported the transfer after talking with Sommers and Nash.

“I like living a block away from Fourth Avenue. It’s the most urban environment in Tucson,” Hall said. “It’s never been a nice, quiet neighbor-hood. It’s full of college rental houses. If you don’t like that, you should nev-er move to West University.”

Lori Boston, president of the West University Neighborhood Association, through which the Fourth Avenue promenade runs, wrote to the city council: “The transfer will not alleviate the problems, but only exasperate them as the bar will increase in size from 4,000 square feet of space to 10,000.”

TPD’s 22-page report listed at least 316 arrests at 536 N. Fourth Ave. A scan of the report incident codes revealed the vast majority of calls were assaults and disorderly conduct, though there was at least one homicide in August of 2006 at that address.

In their letter to the city council, Nash and Sommers claimed that some of the incidents started or oc-curred at other addresses.

Also on file were multiple viola-tions including underage drinking in 2005, serving more alcohol than the

law allows in 2007, three counts of failure to follow identification pro-cedures and three counts of selling alcohol to minors in 2009.

Bruce Hungate, owner of the Dairy Queen at Fourth Avenue and Sixth Street, objected to Avenue based on the July TPD report, which Sommers and Nash claimed con-tained incidents from other bars.

Cheri Wiens, whose letter complained of public urination by bar patrons, was also against recommending a license to Vaccaro’s Sky Bar, which passed the council’s graces Wednesday night.

Neither Hungate nor Wiens could be reached for comment.

A separate letter of opposition ad-dressed to Ward 6 Council Member Nina Trasoff requested a denial and displayed 10 signatures of residents and businesses, including Bumsted’s, the Chocolate Iguana and Delectables Restaurant & Catering.

Trasoff moved to postpone the coun-cil’s decision after a horde of angry citi-zens protested at the Oct. 6 meeting.

Nineteen other letters of support from area residents and merchants were filed with the Tucson City Clerk. Endorse-ments came from Maloney’s Tavern, The B Line café, and Antigone Books.

Nash could not be reached and Sommers declined to comment oth-er than to say that the men will con-tinue to work with the Tucson City Council and that they don’t want to “piss anyone off.”

The recommendation for denial will be sent to the Arizona State Li-quor Board; Nash and Sommers will be able to appeal if the decision is not in their favor.

Creative Ventures craft mall and the neighboring parking lot at 522 and 526 N. Fourth Ave. were sought after by former North on Fourth nightclub owners Patrick Nash and Andrew Sommers for their new project, the Avenue Bar and Grill.
