New Walmart may be go-to location for UA community
Construction for a Walmart is underway at El Con Mall , less than three miles from campus, despite opposition from the surrounding neighborhood .
The new location, which is set to open at 3601 E. Broadway Blvd. in the fall of 2013, is expected to be frequented by students shopping on a budget.
Walmart’s large variety of products make it a huge benefit for students, said Susan Allen , director of marketing and public relations for El Con Mall .
Alissa Smith , an undeclared freshman , said that Walmart is a good resource for students like herself who are away from home and on a low budget.
“We’re students and we don’t have our parents so it’d be easier
to shop somewhere where it’s really cheap and close,” Smith said.
Despite its low prices, some students said the location is still a little far from campus. Greg Kavoklis , a finance junior , said he would shop at Walmart for “odds and ends” such as light bulbs and other household needs, but that getting there could be troublesome.
“I think it is not convenient to bike there,” Kavoklis said, “so I would suggest maybe a CatTran or some type of bus system.”
Steve Kozachik , City Council member of Ward 6, which includes the university and the site of the new Walmart, said the store will probably not rely on the student population for profit.
“I’m not sure that Walmart is particularly targeting college students in their demographic in terms of making this store profitable,” Kozachik said.
While Walmart has already broken ground in the footprint where Macy’s once stood, there
ASUA seeks leader for seat
The day after announcing the resignation of a senator, ASUA held its weekly meeting, where senators discussed details for the upcoming special election, the club recognition deadline, senate aide applications, the UASavvy site and potentially adding healthier drink options to the UMart .
While several senators and Executive Vice President Krystina Nguyen declined to comment on the senatorial seat recently vacated by Claire Theobald , Theobald herself confirmed that she left the seat, and the univeristy, for personal reasons.
“The reason I left was for family and financial reasons,” Theobald said over the phone. “I don’t want to go into too many details because it is really personal, but it had nothing to do with the school. Sometimes that’s how life works; you have to go with what’s given.”
In the 24 hours since the seat has opened, 12 students have picked up applications. ASUA President Katy Murray encouraged all interested undergraduates to apply for the position.
“I think it’s a really awesome opportunity to start off the year really strong,” Murray said. “Any student, regardless of their student government experience, or high school experience or leadership experience … can do so much with [the position]. I would encourage any student that’s interested to at least grab a packet and consider it.”
The position requires a commitment of at least 13 to 15 hours a week, but “every minute, you’re a senator,” Nguyen said, adding that anyone with a clear vision, knowledge of campus resources and problem-solving skills would be a good fit for the position.
Murray also talked about the

Student returns to classes after trauma abroad
Few students studying abroad have to be evacuated and flown to UAMC.
But that’s what happened to Iustin Contreras , a pre-business junior , after a motorcycle accident in Nicaragua put him into an eight-day coma followed by months of recovery. Contreras is now back to attending classes after taking the past spring semester to recover.
On Dec. 12, Contreras and two
other students who were studying abroad in Antigua, Guatemala , decided to take a weekend trip to Managua, Nicaragua, to celebrate the end of their program. Contreras was a passenger on a motorcycle when it collided head-on with another motorcycle whose driver was intoxicated and driving without headlights.
The Costa Rican man Conteras was with died instantly. Contreras was left unconscious, with a half-broken femur, a kneecap broken in

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
AKRON, Ohio — In the year since her husband was deported to Mexico for working in America without legal status, Leonor Ferreyra has struggled as a single mother.
At 3 a.m., she rises to feed her infant son, who suffers ear infections. At 6 a.m., she reports to work in a window factory. At night, she often fills out paperwork to try to stall her own expulsion to Mexico, which a judge ordered last year and then agreed to delay.
Ferreyra came to America illegally 18 years ago with an uncle after her mother disappeared and her father died. She pays her mortgage, has never been charged with a crime, and is desperate to remain with her three young children, all of whom were born in America and thus are entitled to stay.
“It is a lot of pressure,” said Ferreyra, 36. “My whole life is here.”
The Obama administration has deported a record number of illegal immigrants in the last three years, and a little-noticed effect has been the breakup of thousands of families. One in five people deported last year — more than 93,000 in all — were parents of U.S. citizens, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The overwhelming majority had criminal convictions, had re-entered the country after being deported, had ignored a judge’s order, or otherwise had been identified under federal guidelines as priorities for forced removal, ICE figures show.
But about 10 percent — including Ferreyra — did not fit those categories, and immigration activists argue they should be exempt from deportation. Some advocates further contend that parents who enter the country illegally to stay with their children should be granted greater leniency.
“Parents should not be separated from their children,” said Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., who has proposed a law to protect parental rights during deportation proceedings. “Let’s deport gang members and criminals instead of the parents of young U.S. citizen children.”
Opponents argue just as forcefully that immigration laws should be enforced irrespective of the effect on families.
Granting waivers to such parents would amount to “de facto amnesty,” said Rep. Elton Gallegly, R-Calif., who chairs the immigration subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee. “We’re talking about people who have already exhausted all appeals and the judge dropped the hammer.”
The Obama administration last year ordered immigration agencies to focus on deporting people
who pose a threat to public safety or are “repeat and egregious” immigration law violators, rather than those who simply are here without documentation.
In addition, immigrant communities have embraced a new program that allows young undocumented immigrants, who came to America under the age of 16, to apply for work permits and temporary protection from deportation.
The deferred deportation program provides no protection for their parents, however.
Immigration authorities tend to deport fathers more often than mothers, studies show. But that often leaves single-parent families that struggle to pay bills. One apparent result is an increase in abandoned or abused children.
More than 5,000 American-born children of deported parents are in foster care around the country, according to the Applied Research Center, a New York City-based liberal think tank. It predicts that figure will triple in the next five years if policies don’t change.
“The state is creating fragile families and low-income, single-parent households,” said Joanna Dreby, a sociologist at the University at Albany, State University of New York.
Dreby, who spent five years interviewing immigrant families in northeast Ohio and central New Jersey, said many children of illegal immigrants had developed a fear of police. She said the children often had behavior linked to psychological trauma, such as bed-wetting, uncontrolled crying and insomnia.
The issue has drawn sufficient attention that the Department of Health and Human Services is preparing to fund a yearlong national study on how immigration enforcement affects the welfare of children.
“This is a relatively unexamined area,” said Ajay Chaudry, deputy assistant secretary for human services policy.
Chaudry recently visited health clinics and preschools in immigrant communities in California, Texas, Georgia and North Carolina. He said local officials described a “great deal of fear” among illegal immigrant parents, and some families were afraid to use government health programs.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement policy is not to detain or deport people who are primary caregivers for children, except for repeat immigration violators and convicted criminals, said Brian Hale, an ICE spokesman.
“For parents who are ordered removed, it is their decision whether or not to relocate their children with them,” Hale said.

five different places, and a severe brain injury. He was in a coma for more than a week.
Contreras has since returned to the UA, and is taking art history and astrobiology.
Due to damage to his brain, Contreras has been going through speech and physical therapy, and has worked with the UA’s Aphasia Research Project. Diane McCarthy, Contreras’s mother, said their family has remained hopeful throughout the recovery process.
“He could hardly say what was on his plate, and now he’s back at U of A,” she said. “It has been miracle after miracle.”
Contreras’s doctors told him that
it normally takes patients with brain injuries about two years before they start readjusting to everyday life, but he has already moved on in one year.
Doctors in Nicaragua and the U.S. said that Contreras is lucky he’s young, because his age gives him a better chance of a faster recovery process.
Contreras originally pursued Latin American studies but then changed his major to business. He is currently a student of the Eller College of Management.
After going through such a traumatic event, Contreras said he feels that by following his passion for international business, he can help others seeking to travel around the country.
“The reason I was left here is that I need to do a lot to change how people travel,” he said.

Sen. Danielle Novelly also announced a project she is working on to stock healthier drinks at the UMart.
“I’m going to contact the companies directly, and talk to them about coming to campus to possibly give out samples and get student feedback,” she said. “Once we get the feedback, [we’ll] go to the union and talk to them about purchasing the drinks.”

were some legal attempts to impede Walmart from building at the location. The city of Tucson and El Con made a development agreement about a decade ago, which is good for 20 years, according to Kozachik.
El Encanto Estates Homeowners Association, the neighborhood association in the community west of El Con, filed a lawsuit against the city in June, saying that the agreement should have expired in three years, Kozachik said.
The courts ruled in favor of the city, confirming that the agreement was good for 20 years, leaving it up to El Con to decide whether to open the agreement again for renegotiation.
Despite the opposition, Allen said the store will work well in that particular location, and that the charges are now irrelevant.
“The charges that have been brought against have been dismissed in court,” Allen said. “We are free to build a Walmart and that’s exactly what we are going to do. And we believe it’s a good fit for El Con.”
Some of the neighborhood’s concerns about having a Walmart so close include studies that show an increase in crime rates where a Walmart is built. These safety concerns go hand-in-hand with having a store open
24 hours, according to Bonnie Sedlmayr-Emerson, a retired teacher who lives at El Encanto. Some community members also said they don’t like that Walmart sells alcohol and weapons and ammunition.
With the development now inevitable, nearby residents have made attempts to compromise on several issues with the corporation regarding the new store.
Another request from the neighborhood residents was that Walmart have its entrance facing south toward Broadway Boulevard rather than west toward the neighborhood. Kozachik said he talked to Walmart representatives, El Con representatives and El Encanto community members in attempt to address these issues.
Although Walmart refused to close its store overnight and refused to face its entrance south, it did agree to not sell weapons at that location.
The Walmart will still sell alcohol.
Despite a few compromises, Sedlmayr-Emerson said she wasn’t convinced that corporate managers were interested in how members of the neighboring community felt.
“Had they faced it toward Broadway, that might have made a difference,” Sedlmayr-Emerson said. “We could have seen that they were trying to be good neighbors.”

Dems make platform changesMCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Democrats sought to tamp
down a pair of controversies as they gaveled open the second night of their convention Wednesday, inserting the word “God” into their platform and restating support for Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Both had been omitted from the original draft and Republicans had seized on the absence to question both the Democrats’ faith and their commitment to Israel.
The language was adopted as amendments to the party platform as the first order of Wednesday’s business, but not without controversy. It took three attempts to pass the language regarding Jerusalem and a subjective decision by the convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, to decide the change had the required support of two-thirds of the delegates. To many listeners, the voice vote seemed at least evenly divided.
The status of Jerusalem is a flash point in Israeli-Palestinian relations and also a tripwire in U.S. politics. While the city is the legal capital, it is also where Palestinians want to locate the capital of an independent state. The two sides have agreed to resolve the long-standing dispute in negotiations.
With the amendments passed, Democrats immediately swung into the night program as President Barack Obama arrived in the convention city.
Plans for a walk-through of the outdoor Carolina Panthers football stadium were scrubbed after Obama’s Thursday night convention speech was moved because of weather.
Former President Bill Clinton’s appearance was expected to be the highlight of Wednesday night’s lengthy program. He was on hand to formally place Obama’s name in nomination, and say why he deserves four more years in the White House despite a lackluster economy.
More than 20 million jobs were created during Clinton’s eight years in office and for many his administration is shrouded in a rosy reverence, despite impeachment and other scandals.
Even at the height of those controversies, Democrats
never lost their affection for Clinton, the only member of the party since Franklin Roosevelt to win two terms in the White House. He planned to formally place Obama’s name in nomination, something no ex-president has done before.
(The result of the roll call vote, officially installing Obama as the party’s November standard-bearer, is scheduled as Wednesday’s last order of business and, even though the proceedings were expected to push past midnight, the outcome is not in doubt.)
The two men were adversaries four years ago, when Obama dueled with Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a fiercely fought contest for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Since then, the two have forged a much closer alliance — no one would mistake it for personal friendship — as Mrs. Clinton joined the Obama administration as secretary of state. The ex-president has become an important fundraiser and Obama advocate.
A TV spot featuring Clinton’s endorsement has been in heavy rotation in North Carolina and was frequently seen during last week’s GOP convention in Florida; both are battleground states with a large number of the more conservative, economically hard-pressed Democrats for whom Clinton, a former Arkansas governor, has a special affinity.
Democrats, meantime, planned to continue their appeal to female and Latino voters, their main political targets at this week’s convention.
Introducing Clinton in the prime-time hour will be Elizabeth Warren, who served as a consumer affairs adviser to the White House before launching a U.S. Senate bid in Massachusetts.
Warren thrilled Democrats with a stump speech on the virtues of government spending. When Obama tried the riff, however, suggesting successful private enterprise requires public investment, Republicans seized upon his “you didn’t build that” remark as a statement showing an overweening belief in government.
Others on Wednesday night’s program include California Assembly Speaker John Perez, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the head of the Democrats’ senatorial campaign committee.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — A lack of eco-
nomic stability highlighted by a soar-ing national debt, combined with a lack of trust in government by the business community, helped drop the U.S. two notches to seventh in a ranking of national global competi-tiveness.
For the fourth straight year, Swit-zerland topped the list, which was re-leased Wednesday by the World Eco-nomic Forum. Also beating the U.S. in the 2012-13 rankings of 144 national economies were Singapore, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Ger-many.
Britain, Hong Kong and Japan rounded out the top 10 in the rank-ings done by the group, which is best known for its annual gathering of eco-nomic and political leaders in Davos, Switzerland.
Competitiveness is determined based on a dozen factors, including the strength of a nation’s public and
private institutions, the state of its infrastructure, the quality of its edu-cation and its ability to foster innova-tion.
The U.S. actually improved its over-all score from last year, but continued to slip down the rankings as its im-provement was outpaced this year by the Netherlands and Germany.
The U.S. ranked fourth on the 2010-11 list and fifth on the 2011-12 list.
“U.S. companies are highly sophis-ticated and innovative, supported by an excellent university system that collaborates admirably with the busi-ness sector” in research and develop-ment, the World Economic Forum report said.
“Combined with flexible labor markets and the scale opportunities afforded by the sheer size of its do-mestic economy — the largest in the world by far — these qualities con-tinue to make the United States very competitive,” the report added.
The report said the biggest weak-ness was the U.S. macroeconomic
environment — a combination of the nation’s budget deficit, savings rate, inflation, government debt and credit rating. The U.S. ranked 111th in that category in the aftermath of the grow-ing national debt and the decision by Standard & Poor’s last year to cut the U.S. credit rating.
The business community’s dis-trust of government also lowered the U.S. rankings. For example, the U.S. ranked 54th in public trust of politi-cians, and 76th in both wastefulness of government spending and burden of government regulations.
Worldwide, there continues to be a major divide in competitiveness across regions and even within re-gions, such as Europe, that “are at the origin of the turbulence we are expe-riencing today” said Klaus Schwab, executive chairman of the World Eco-nomic Forum.
“We urge governments to act de-cisively by adopting long-term mea-sures to enhance competitiveness and return the world to a sustainable growth path,” he said.

In response to “Editiorial: For truly open dialogue on Chick-fil-A, don’t be chicken:” (Sept. 4):

In response to “District on 5th’s early-semester parties prompt neighborhood outcry” (Sept. 5):
Everyone knows, or should know, that student housing is always a problem. They want to be treated as adults but still want to act 16 and complain about it when the rules come down. It’s like a poorly ran daycare center at best. “They didn’t say anything like, ‘Hey, be quiet. We have neighbors. Don’t be so crazy.’”... it’s called common sense, hopefully ur taking a course in it.

In response to “The Four Levels of Watching TV With Your Girlfriend” (Aug. 31):
I definitely disagree that women watch shows like “Teen Mom” or “Toddlers and Tiaras” to feel better about their own lives. It is cheap entertainment that television is plagued with these days. People, not just women, watch it because nearly everything on TV is some version of a
Your viewsOnline cOmments reality show. The shows that one might say are typically more masculine such
as “Gold Rush,” “American Pickers,” or “American Hoggers,” are no better, and yet no one is saying that guys watch these shows to feel better about themselves for not being poor miners or farmers. Television entertainment is pretty bad at the present, but it is the type of person, not the gender, that chooses to watch these shows.

In response to “UA’s PTS director seeks seat as Pima County sheriff” (Sept. 3):
Napier should do his homework. The Pima County Sheriff Department under the leadership of Sheriff Dupnik is second to none. The PCSD has been aggressively involved in community based policing for over 15 years and border crime enforcement for the past six years, having created the first Border Crime Unit in the nation and developed a model for border crime enforcement. As far as managing a budget, the PCSD maintained operations without furloughs and continued to support its employees with the best equipment and training in one of the worst times of economic crisis.

In response to “In or out of context, anti-Arab comments have no place in political office” (Sep. 3):
Semantics are everything. Truth be told it IS the Qur’an that insists that Muslims treat non-Muslims as second class citizens. These are not my words, nor the words of any politician, but are the words of Islam.
Furthermore it is Islam’s prophet, Mohammed, who treated non-Muslims with complete disregard. This is NOT subject to interpretation as the Qur’an and Hadiths make this abundantly clear. His rape, enslavement, thievery and murder of non-Muslims can easily be found in Islamic holy books. Again these are not my words, but are the words of Islam.
So if to speak the truth about Islam is now a sin than it is clear our respect for the truth takes second fiddle to being PC. Seems like a shame and a cowardly act, IMO.

College cheating not going anywhere
A prisoner sits at a desk, scribbling answers on a piece of paper. As he works,
guards patrol around the room, watching him for any suspicious movements.
He looks up from his paper to contemplate a question, staring at the ceiling so as not to look at anyone around him. He notices that one of the guards is videotaping him and quickly puts his head back down.
This is not too far from what happens to college students during a final exam in a large class.
A scandal surrounding more than 100 Harvard students, currently under investigation for allegations of cheating in a class last spring, has cast a glaring spotlight on how universities deal with academic integrity issues.
At the UA, instructors and professors use a variety of methods to curb cheating. Some of the larger classes have teaching assistants scanning the room during tests and videotaping students. Other professors create multiple versions of the test, changing the order of questions or using different questions entirely to prevent students from exchanging answers with their neighbors.
In classes that require written essays, students typically have to turn in essays through the D2L drop box, which is connected to turnitin.com, a website that scans and compares documents for plagiarism.
Some instructors even use all three tactics — yet students keep cheating.
Universities nationwide are doing their best to wage war against widespread cheating among university students. In a 2011 poll published on Education-Portal.com, 75 to 98 percent of college students admitted to having cheated at some time during their academic careers.
At the UA, the numbers are a little less serious. According to a survey of more than 2,000 students performed last spring, 84 percent of UA students said they think students who cheat should be punished, though at least 60 percent said they have cheated at least once. Most admitted to cheating on homework, but at least 19 percent admitted to cheating on an exam.
The university is making little headway despite the litany of honor codes, online plagiarism checks and TAs surveying the students.
When 60 percent of the student population admits to some kind of cheating, the univerisity must examine the reason why students are cheating. A school trying to combat cheating without understanding the reason why students cheat is like a doctor treating a patient without knowing the disease.
The cheating epidemic is largely due to the fact that few tests are given in a semester, so they hold more weight in a student’s grade than anything else in the course. When students are put under pressure to either perform well on a test, or potentially jeopardize their future, many may fall to cheating.
Yes, one test isn’t likely to make or break anyone’s future, but we’re college students and we struggle to see the long-term perspective.
Cheating shouldn’t be condoned, but until universities reform the way that tests are presented, or until students learn how to fail with dignity and grace, instructors cannot eliminate cheating.

Democratic platform’s goals for higher education just a start
The Democratic Party released its 2012 platform earlier this week, and, to the surprise of pretty much no one, it calls for an increase in the number of students who graduate with college degrees by making postsecondary education more accessible through federal financial aid.
While the Republican platform called for specific changes to the student loan program and more support for alternatives to four-year institutions, the Democratic platform focused on
the Obama administration’s past accomplishments.The plan reiterated President Barack Obama’s goal for the
U.S., saying the nation will have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. It also touted Obama’s actions during his term in office, which include ending bank-based student lending and expanding the Federal Pell Grant program.
These things are all well and good. You won’t hear us complaining about more people being able to receive an education with less debt.
But still, the Democratic Party can only receive an incomplete for its platform, as it was entirely silent on affirmative action. The GOP’s plan formally opposed advancement based on any factors other than merit. With a Supreme Court challenge to affirmative action in college admissions set to be heard this fall, it would have been nice to get some kind of position on this issue from the Democratic Party.
Editorial: Pass/Fail the Arizona Daily Wildcat puts the issues
to the test. Do they make the grade?
more things that aren’t surprisesGreek Life is living up to all its stereotypes.Last week, Tau Kappa Epsilon became the third
fraternity this year to lose UA recognition.Delta Chi was put on interim suspension last
spring. Phi Kappa Psi’s charter was revoked by its national executive council last January after an investigation into allegations of hazing, underage drinking and lying to hide wrongdoing.
TKE came under scrutiny by the Dean of Students Office for allegations of hazing, including
forced consumption of alcohol, forced physical exertion and sleep deprivation, according to Keith Humphrey, dean of students and assistant vice president of Student Affairs.
Members of the fraternity denied the allegations, blaming them on a disgruntled former member whom they refused to identify.
“There’s no real evidence behind what’s been said … only a disgruntled member who was kicked out,” said Shane Sprague, a sophomore studying psychology and pre-business and the social chair of TKE. “There were problems with money … that might have been what really led him to say a lot of the things he might have said.”
In other words, some guy tattled, TKE members say. Also, he was poor and maybe he didn’t like being poor.
And the UA’s decision to strip the fraternity of recognition? It’s just because the school is mean.
Point as many fingers as you want and blame anyone but yourselves, but we’re only three weeks into the semester and all the fingers in the world won’t point to an answer to a real question: What is Greek Life doing?
For now, the UA’s Greek Life community receives a fail. There’s nothing constructive about whining like children, and it doesn’t build a case for respecting Greek Life.

Fake cash for a real mealUniversity of Arizona Police Department officers responded
to a report of counterfeit cash at 8:12 p.m. on Friday. A UA employee in the Student Union Memorial Center cash room reported a counterfeit $10 bill. The bill had been part of a large deposit the day before.
Deposits are normally delivered to the employee in her cash room on the lower level of the student union from the restaurants located on the upper levels. The officers tracked the source of the counterfeit bill and found that it had been accepted by a cashier at the On-Deck Deli earlier that day. The bill was then placed into evidence. There are no suspects at this time.
Junkie jackingA UAPD officer responded to the Manzanita-Mohave
Residence Hall at 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 28 after being told that about 15 hydrocodone prescription pills had been taken from a UA student. The student told the officer that when he returned from class earlier that day he noticed that his closet curtain had been moved and his prescription medication, which was usually kept in a white paper Rite Aid Pharmacy bag, had been moved to a different shelf. and the order slip for the medication was out of the bag.
The officer found a prescription bottle for the hydrocodone pills, which had been replaced with ten white, oval pills with 4H2 written on them. The pills were tested and turned up as over-the-counter antihistamine Zyrtec.
The student said he believed that a particular floor-mate of his took the pills, because he had been told that that floormate had been in rehab for narcotic drug abuse in the past. The student’s roommate mentioned that the individual had been in their room earlier that day and was going through the student’s things.
The floor-mate had seemed to be very interested in the student’s schedule and when he was in the room and when he wasn’t, the student told officers.
A UAPD officer approached the floor-mate, who claimed he would never steal from the student.
The officer searched his side of the room and found no evidence.
No fault, no paymentA UAPD officer performed a motor vehicle check on the
license plate of a white Audi sports car around University Boulevard and Cherry Avenue at about 2 p.m. on Aug. 31. A mandatory insurance suspension came up linked to the vehicle’s plates. When the officer asked the driver for his registration and insurance, the driver claimed that he didn’t have insurance since he got into a car accident six months ago. His registration paperwork was also missing.
The driver said he knew his license was suspended, but he thought his lawyer had already taken care of the issue. He had received a ticket for the accident but said he refused to pay it because it wasn’t his fault.
A $500 warrant from Tucson’s department of public safety for criminal speeding was also found under the driver’s name.
Rings ‘n’ chains, homieA UA student reported a class ring and gold St. Christopher
pendant and chain had gone missing from his Pima Residence Hall dorm room between Aug. 18 at 1 p.m. and Aug. 30 at 9 a.m. When a UAPD officer arrived at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 30, the student said that when he woke up earlier that morning he noticed that his items were not where he last placed them.
The student said the pendant had been in a small yellow jewelry box on his desk and the ring was in a black ring box in the top drawer of his desk. He searched his room and couldn’t find the missing items anywhere. The student mentioned that he went to bed the night before at midnight, with his door unlocked.
The UAPD officer was told that the student’s items hadn’t been touched since the day he moved into the residence hall on Aug. 18.
The student’s roommate also claimed to be missing money from his desk drawer. There are no suspected burglars at this time.

There are a few familiar faces in Arizona hockey head coach Sean Hogan’s first official recruiting class.
Arizona announced a nine member recruiting class that includes five forwards and four defensemen. The class also has three transfers, including two players from NCAA-level teams. Hogan coached one of the players while he was in the junior ranks and he coached against another player.
“We’re really excited. I think we did a good job going out and filling our needs,” Hogan said. “We’re bringing in players who are high-level hockey players, that are excited to compete for the U of A, because that’s one thing
that we talked about immediately when I got here. I want to make the University of Arizona … a destination for student athletes.”
Defenseman Nick Hinsberg, who played for the Odessa Jackalopes and the Aurora Tigers last year, played for Hogan during the 2009-2010 season when the UA coach led the Yellowstone Quake.
“I really liked his coaching style. I knew he brought a lot to the team,” Hinsberg said. “On top of that, the school’s amazing. It’s great to play in warm weather for once. I just think it will be a lot of fun.
“There’s a lot of support, the best support in the league, by far,” Hinsberg added. “Between the support, location and coach, it was a
James KelleyArizona Daily Wildcat
Hogan happy with first recruits
Entering last season, Arizona’s offensive line was undoubtedly the biggest question mark, since the entire unit had one combined start going into the first 2011 game against NAU.
Fast forward one year, and the entire starting offensive line remains intact, turning a group of unseasoned youngsters into one of the Wildcats’ biggest strengths.
Arizona gained 237 yards on the ground in its overtime win against Toledo and had a Ka’Deem Carey run break for 73 yards and a touchdown, numbers that would’ve seemed impossibly high a year ago. Center Kyle Quinn said it’s just the beginning.
“Having a game under our belt in this system, we’re just going to get
better from here,” said Quinn, who was the only player with starting experience entering last season.
The long run wasn’t just because of the offensive line, as Carey shrugged off several Toledo defenders on his way to the end zone, but the sophomore running back credited the line for opening up holes on the game breaking touchdown.
“They made the blocks up front, the blocks made it possible,” Carey said. “They knocked everybody out [of] the way, there was a clear hole and it was
me against the secondary.”Saturday wasn’t a flawless
performance though, as a 64-yard run by junior Daniel Jenkins was negated by a holding call and Toledo sacked quarterback Matt Scott twice. Even though Arizona had 624 total yards, there was still room for improvement.
“We left a lot of points out there,” Quinn said. “We put up a lot of yards, which is a good thing, but we also turned the ball over three times.

Jared Tevis has been overlooked his whole life, probably because
of his short stature. A 5-foot-10, 197-pound safety, he doesn’t really have the ideal size for a position that requires such physicality.
But tackling people much larger than him has never been a problem, as he proved in recording 12 tackles in the Wildcats’ season opening win against Toledo. In fact, it’s something he’s been practicing his whole life.
Aaron Tevis, his brother, was a linebacker at Boise State and
stands at 6-foot-3, 234 pounds.“He bullied me a little bit,” Tevis
said, laughing. “He wouldn’t push me too much because I had a little bit of a temper problem, but me and him were always competing. Even though he was usually winning we were always competing and I think that just made me tougher.”
That relationship made Tevis tougher; maybe even a better football player, but it still didn’t make him any taller.
After a successful career at Canyon del Oro High School in Tucson, Tevis had zero scholarship offers from Divison I schools, which surprised sophomore running back Ka’Deem Carey.
“I was really surprised,” said Carey, who played with Tevis at Canyon del Oro. “Playing in Tucson you don’t really get that much hype, you gotta really work and stand out that much more, which I thought he did.”
In addition to his short stature, Tevis attributed the lack of attention to not breaking out as a football player until his senior year of high school, when he recorded 115 tackles, eight interceptions, three sacks and 11 combined touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams.
Schools from Division II and III finally came knocking on his door,

The Daily Wildcat
When the world outside gets too hectic, grab a Daily Wildcat
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Oklahoma State co-defensive
coordinator Glenn Spencer was asked about the importance of simulating Arizona’s spread of-fense in practice. He said the scout team is going to have to provide a “great look” and, coinci-dentally, the scout team offense is quarterbacked by Arizona trans-fer Daxx Garman.
Garman redshirted as a colle-giate rookie in 2011. Citing a de-sire to be closer to home, he was released from his scholarship and chose to attend OSU.
Have OSU coaches quizzed Garman for Arizona intel? Sure, but the Wildcats have changed coaches and schemes since he was there.
“I have bounced some things off of him and he has shared some
insight on some players and what he thought about them athleti-cally and their personalities and if they are tough guys are not,” Spencer said. “That was pretty in-teresting.”
During a prep career that was sabotaged by residence-related eligibility issues, Garman played at two Oklahoma high schools (Carl Albert, Jones) before mov-ing to Texas as a senior.
Spencer is not audi-tioning for defensive coordinator
Spencer was promoted to co-defensive coordinator last season.
Last week, Spencer temporarily had the “co-” taken off that title, as he handled all the duties of defen-sive coordinator Bill Young, who missed the Savannah State game
following an undisclosed medi-cal procedure. And he’ll remain in the role Saturday at Arizona, with Young not scheduled to return to the team until next week.
In a way, it’s an opportunity for Spencer to show he’s ready for a full role as defensive coordinator. Except he doesn’t think of it that way.
“There might be a day for that down the road,” Spencer said. “I love that responsibility, but I love what I’m doing now and I love working with Bill. The biggest thing is just being around for him for years — a guy with that much experience — and just learning from him. Not only his knowledge of the game, but how he handles people.
“He’s taught me so much there. I really don’t want to entertain that now, because I’m just look-ing forward to him getting back
next week.”
Running backs readyThe Cowboys like to say their
offense is predicated on whatever the defense gives them.
For the running backs, that re-quires a mindset of versatility.
“I feel like we can do whatever the coaches ask us to do,” said Jo-seph Randle. “If they ask us to run it, we’ll do it. If they ask us to pass block, we’ll do it.
“We feel like we’re ready for whatever.”
Gundy prefers path of least resistance
Nonconference scheduling has been a hot topic over the past week, notably weak nonconfer-ence scheduling.
Exhibit A: Oklahoma State’s
84-0 thrashing of Savannah Sate. While admitting that Savannah
State was an unavoidable mistake, Cowboy coach Mike Gundy sticks by the theory of a softened sched-ule. In fact, he embraces it.
“Kind of the best way to look at it, if you just imagine a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, that being the BCS championship and Big 12 championship,” Gundy said. “You have a certain part of that road that never changes, and that’s called your conference. But before that, if your goal was to get there, you’d like to have a straight path.
“And anything you put in your way that could make it more dif-ficult, just makes it more difficult. So you have a nice smooth high-way all the way there, then you have to make a left or right turn based on where you have to go to follow your conference.”
Oklahoma State turns to UA transfer for tips
After last season’s disappointing 5-18 record, the Arizona men’s tennis team is ready to leave last year behind. Led this year by returning players like sophomores Sumeet Shinde and Carlos Bermudez, the Wildcats believe they have the talent necessary to become contenders in a competitive Pac-12 Conference.
“Sumeet and Carlos had valuable experience last year playing in the mid portion of the lineup,” head coach Tad Berkowitz said. “I think the length of the season got to them a little bit last year, but this year the guys really have an understanding of the level they can compete at.”
“We have a lot of great guys with good potential like Sumeet and Carlos,” undergraduate assistant Frank Chen added. “We should do better this year.”
Despite the depth of the Wildcat lineup this year, the team is still looking to improve and not taking
anything for granted.“We still don’t have a really strong
number one player,” Chen said. “The most important thing is doubles. If we could get more double points, we will be able to win more dual matches.”
Shinde attended high school in Pune, India, and not only established himself as one of the top tennis players in India, but was also ranked 70th in the world amongst juniors. He has competed at both the US and Australian Opens and won an ITF G2 International Tennis Tournament.
Shinde recognizes how much Arizona struggled last season, but he believes his playing experience as a freshman should help him bounce back this time around.
“This year I feel like we are more experienced than last year,” Shinde said. “We will be better because of our experiences last year and our ability to learn from them.”
Shinde compiled an inconsistent record of 7-12 last year and now looks to bounce back and improve.
“My whole last year was up, down, up, down,” Shinde said. “Last year I had a couple good matches and then a few bad matches. Consistency is what I’m looking to improve on this year.”
Bermudez joined Arizona last year after being named team captain at Palo Verde Magnet High School the three years before, winning three state championships and earning MVP honors twice.
“I don’t think we did that great [last season] but we had little to no experience,” Bermudez said. “I think last year was all about us getting used to all of our teammates and maturing and working as a team. I think we all matured lot.”
Bermudez agrees with Chen that the Wildcats’ play in doubles is lacking.
“We need to work on our doubles game,” Bermudez said. “During the fall we are going to practice our doubles and touch up on it. It is going to be one of our biggest priorities.”
The Arizona volleyball team is almost two weeks into its season and currently sits at a 3-2 record over-all. The team has shown flashes of talent, but head coach Dave Rubio has been disappointed with the Wildcats’ play during practices. Arizona is having trouble putting in the energy necessary to work hard not only during games but also in every practice and every play.
“Coach Rubio is a little stressed out,” sophomore middle blocker Rachel Rhoades said. “You can tell he’s frustrated, mainly just by the youth of the team, and I hate that that’s still an excuse.”
Rubio doesn’t believe his team is in shape to de-pend on a single player to carry the team, so the Wildcats’ lineups have been constantly changing.
On Tuesday, Rubio ended practice early, frustrated with the team’s lack of energy and effort.
“I look at my team and I see we have wonderful, high-level potential,” Rubio said. “But potential is one thing, and developing and becoming the player and team they’re capable of becoming are two differ-ent things.”
Arizona will play its next game against UC Irvine
on Sept. 14 at home. The Wildcats have several home games this season, including the Arizona Invita-tional, which begins this Friday and continues into Saturday.
Rubio is hopeful that the team will continue to im-prove every week, but with shortcomings in practice, the squad still has a lot of work to do.
“I think we just have a lot of work to still do … our freshmen just kind of need to get up to speed,” soph-omore outside hitter Madi Kingdon said. “We just have to come ready to play and not really have any hesitations.”
Rubio continues to push his players, in particular the offense. He said he needs his players to be in a position to score points and keep unforced errors at a minimum.
“I feel like he’s been a little harder on us, which I think is a really good thing,” Kingdon said. “Usually he’s really mellow and sometimes he’ll have a burst of anger, but when he’s a lot tougher on everyone it makes us all work harder.”
Rubio usually begins practice with individual skill work, a short warm up and intense game scenarios. It is during the game scenario portion of the practice that the Wildcats have been slacking of late.
“We really just need more time together, not only on the court but off the court, to bond and really get together,” Rhoades said. “That’s going to help a lot.”

Football Notes
pretty easy decision.”Hinsberg hails from Highlands Ranch, Colo., and when Hogan was hired,
he made it a point to try and bring Hinsberg to Arizona. “He’s a real strong academic player, a real team-first guy, a strong
defenseman who plays physical,” Hogan said. “And he’s a tough kid. I’m excited to have him.”
Jason Effertz, a transfer from NCAA Division III University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, came to Arizona because of his fondness for the the Pac-12 Conference.
“My dad went to UCLA, so I grew up around Pac-12 sports and always wanted to go to a Pac-12 school,” Effertz said. “Arizona was always at the top of my list and I actually played against coach Hogan in my junior leagues.”
Other transfers included junior forward Ansel Ivens-Anderson, who came from a top Divison I NCAA hockey program in New Hampshire, and sophomore defenseman Matt Nowicki, who joined the UA from Davenport University, which made it to the American Collegiate Hockey Association Sweet 16 last year. Nowicki scored two goals and had eight assists for the Panthers.
Last year was Hogan’s first as head coach, but he arrived in the middle of August, so this is his first recruiting class.
“He’s really straightforward. He’ll tell you how it is. He knows what he’s talking about,” Hinsberg said. “I’ve had a lot of coaches that have the job because of somebody they know [but] Hogan’s worked his whole life based on his knowledge of hockey.”
Among the freshmen newcomers, there are two Arizona natives — forward Mike Adamowicz of Chandler, Ariz. and Tyler Baumanis from Phoenix.
Other freshmen include forward Brennen Parker and defensemen Bryan Drazner and Kyle Ambrosie.
When the recruiting class was announced, ACHA Hockey Insider tweeted “wow awesome pick ups for Arizona!!”
Hockeyfrom page 6
“We can’t do that against Oklahoma State.”
Having an older line, or at least one with Pac-12 experience, has eased the transition to a spread-option attack, which is predicated on a fast-moving, no-huddle offense.
With the schematic upheaval, a few lumps and bruises were to be expected in the first week, so head coach Rich Rodriguez wasn’t upset with what he saw.
“They played pretty solid,” Rodriguez said. “I think Lene (Maiava) and Kyle (Quinn) were the most consistent on Saturday … We weren’t physical enough at times. We can fight a little more physical.”
In the days leading up to the game, Rodriguez said that the Wildcats planned on rotating at least seven players through the line, including the returning starters from last year as well as Maiava and freshman Cayman Bundage.
But the strategy turned into a necessity as several linemen got banged up throughout the game, including starting left guard Chris Putton and his backup Bundage.
Senior Shane Zink stepped into the role and the line didn’t seem to miss a beat, a feat that would have been unimaginable last season.
“Having depth and continuity is a great thing to have on the O-line,” Quinn said. “When you only have five guys who can play, you kind of want to play conservatively. You don’t want to go down, you don’t want to make a mistake, but now we
have more guys in the rotation. It’s great to have.”
With its five projected starters, the offensive line now has 60 combined starts, and the recent play of Maiava and Bundage in camp gives Arizona a healthy supply of options.
“(Bundage) has a big punch behind him,” Quinn said. “He’s got a big heart, he cares so much about football. He’s a great kid to have. He’s very young but he’s learning fast. He’s going to get a little bit stronger, but when he was in he played great.”
Quinn recalls first career start against Cowboys
An experienced line adds a crucial element the team lacked last year, but that all started against Oklahoma State in 2010, when Quinn made his first career start.
Times have changed, as Quinn is now a senior and the deer-in-the-headlights look he had in the Valero Alamo Bowl is long gone.
“That was a long time ago and it was my first start,” he said. “I can read defenses (now), I can see what they’re going to do. I’m nasty off the ball and I’m a fifth-year senior. I’m the strongest I’ve ever been in my career and I’m going to put that to use on Saturday.”
Quinn is ready to lead the line into a third matchup against the Cowboys, hoping to erase the results of years past.
“You try to move on from it and forget about it,” Quinn said. “It’s a new year, it’s a new era and we’re going to go out there and take it to them on Saturday.”
o-Line from page 6
but Tevis still didn’t want to answer. He was going to play at the school he grew up watching, the one he had always dreamed of playing for.
“I never really gave them much thought,” Tevis said. “I had my mind set on Arizona and I wanted to be on the big stage and prove what I could do.”
He got his wish, albeit without a scholarship.While recruiting other players at Canyon del Oro, Stoops noticed
Tevis and spoke with him about joining the UA as a walk-on. “I told them that’s what I wanted to do,” Tevis said.He had to prove himself. Prove to Stoops and his coaching staff
that he belonged, that size doesn’t matter and that he deserved a scholarship.
But before he was able to do that, the coaching staff told him that he’d been redshirted.
“That redshirt year it was overwhelming coming out as a freshman,” Tevis said. “I wasn’t even on the field and that’s what hurt the most.”
Tevis bided his time, and in 2011 he received a chance to finally start proving to Stoops that he deserved to get on the field. As a backup and contributor on special teams, Tevis recorded 12 tackles in as many games. Then Stoops was fired mid-season and an entirely new coaching staff was brought into the fold. In the spring, Tevis was going to have to prove himself all over again.
Mission accomplished.“I thought he was one of our best kids when I first got here,” said
assistant head coach Tony Gibson, who is in charge of safeties. “I was kind of shocked that he wasn’t a scholarship player.
“Not only did he deserve it but he earned it. He showed every day in practice. When there was a big hit, it was him.”
A few weeks after spring practices ended in early May, Rodriguez held individual meetings with every player on the roster. He had some good news for Tevis.
“When I went in there he just talked to me and he said he was gonna offer me a scholarship,” Tevis said. “I was ecstatic. I’ve been waiting for it, I’ve been praying for it and it finally happened, so it was a blessed feeling.”
“He showed us a lot, he’s tough guy,” Rodriguez added.The first person he called after hearing the news?“I called my brother up and let him know. He was proud of me,
and I knew he would be,” Tevis said.Now fully entrenched as the Wildcats’ starting safety, Tevis is
making an impact. It was only one game, but he fully expects to continue as a key cog in Arizona’s defense.
“Yeah, I mean I knew I was gonna come out here and make an impact,” Tevis said after playing every one of the 94 defensive plays against Toledo. “I have the internal desire to go harder — that extra set, that extra rep — and just prove myself.”
TeViS from page 6
In describing his ideal quarterback, head coach Rich Rodriguez used an analogy any UA sports fan can appreciate — a basketball metaphor.
“I’ve always said we’d like to have a quarterback like a point guard who can shoot the three,” Rodriguez said. “Sometimes he keeps it and sometimes he distributes it. Some guys shoot the threes better than others, some drive it to the basket more.”
For Rodriguez, quarterback Matt Scott fills the distributor role.
“(Scott’s) a guy that distributes really well,” Rodriguez said. “He can run, but he can throw the football. He’s got as good an arm as any quarterback I’ve ever had.”
Scott showed that versatility last weekend, distributing the ball all over the field, completing 65 percent of his passes. Scott also ran the ball well, gaining 74 yards on the ground, which was more total rushing yards than the Wildcats had in five of last season’s games.
“I’d love to have him for more than one year because I think we can do even more with him,” Rodriguez said. “But this is it with us, so we’re trying to crash course him into doing as much offense as we can with him.”
the depth chart changes...againNow that the coaches have had the opportunity
to see the Wildcats play in real game action, some notable changes have been made to the depth chart.
The biggest surprise might be the emergence of freshman linebacker Sir Thomas Jackson.
Jackson, a walk-on, started last week after sophomore Hank Hobson was unable to play due to injury. After recording seven tackles and playing every snap for Arizona against Toledo, Rodriguez has removed Hobson from the top spot, at least for
the time being.“We’ve got to get to the point where we’re playing
45-50 guys every game on both sides of the ball (in total),” Rodriguez said. “Unfortunately we’re not there right now and that hurts some of the things we want to do, but we have to be who we are.”
Rodriguez said they had to defend against too many plays — 94 in total against Toledo — for how their defense is composed, but Oklahoma State won’t make the goal easy to achieve.
Sophomore Jonathan McKnight played as the nickel corner last Saturday, but he will get a shot this weekend in the starting role as he swapped spots with junior Derrick Rainey.
Also, sophomore Reggie Gilbert will get his first career start against Oklahoma State at defensive tackle.
some big CowboysThe Wildcats welcome No. 19 Oklahoma State
to Tucson on Saturday, and Rodriguez is trying to prepare his team for the large offensive line the Cowboys bring to the table. The Cowboys’ five projected starters average 6-foot-4, topped by junior tackle Parker Graham at 6-foot-7.
“Unless there is a magic pill that will get our guys (that size) … There’s nothing legal anyway, no legal magic pill,” Rodriguez joked. “We just have to play with great leverage. And we are going to be outsized, we’re going to be outmanned a little bit. But we’re going to be that way in every game.”
Two huge keys for the Wildcats will be open-field tackling and releasing off of blocks, Rodriguez said, as the Cowboys do a great job with cut and chop blocking and can open up big plays.
Oklahoma State had the second most rushing yards in the nation last week with 395, and lead back Joseph Randle only had six of the carries.
But Randle still had 107 and two touchdowns on those limited carries as the Cowboys humiliated FCS Savannah State 84-0. In 2011, Randle ran for 1,248 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Rodriguez hopes for QB that can shoot the three

they said it“The kid flies to the ball. He’s hungry, he comes to work every day and you can really admire that about him. The whole situation he went through, he had to earn his schloarship, and he went out there everyday and compet-ed his butt off. He’s smack-ing people in practice too. I’m proud of the kid.”— linebacker Jake Fischer
“He’s always loved to make big plays and when he made them plays he built up the whole team to do great. I think that’s just a great spirit to have out there.”— running back, and Tevis’ high school teammate, Ka’Deem Carey
