GOP hits DuVal over tuition

ARIZONA VS UTSA FOOTBALL PREVIEW

BY ETHAN MCSWEENEY The Daily Wildcat

A recent ad funded by a Republican group targeted Democratic gubernatorial nominee Fred DuVal for voting to approve tuition hikes when he served on the Arizona Board of Regents. The 30-second TV ad from the Republican Governors Association hit DuVal for voting for the tuition hikes that caused the cost of tuition and fees at the state universities to rise by 99 percent while he served on the board.

A fact check from the Arizona Republic rated the claim in the ad as true, giving it four stars. DuVal voted to raise tuition each year and it doubled over the course of his six years as a member of the board of regents, the Republic said. The board of regents sets the rates for tuition and fees at the UA, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University. DuVal served on the board from 2006 to 2012, and during that time, in-state undergraduate tuition at the UA increased from $4,600 to $9,100. The DuVal campaign, however,

contends that the increases were necessary due to cuts in funding to the state universities from the Legislature. “Governor [Jan] Brewer and the Arizona Legislature cut higher education by more than $400 million during the recession, more than any other state in the country,” said Geoff Vetter, a spokesperson for the DuVal campaign. “Fred [DuVal] kept the doors of our universities open.” Mark Killian, the current chair of the board of regents, said the ad is misleading and lacks context on

why tuition had to be raised. “What the ad leaves out is the Republican-controlled legislature cut the universities by nearly half a billion dollars while at the same time saying, ‘we want you to educate more students, we want you to give quality education,’ and left us holding an empty bag,” he said. The regents and the universities worked to save on costs and keep campuses open, but raising tuition was necessary, Killian said. He added that the state’s universities’ per student contribution is now as

STUDENTS BROWSE FOR POSTERS in a tent on the UA Mall on Wednesday. The tent is set up annually to provide inexpensive posters for students looking to decorate their dorms and apartments.

A new safety app and senate elections were the highlights of ASUA’s first senate meeting of the fall semester on Wednesday evening. One of the first topics addressed at the meeting of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona was senate elections for the following year. A motion was approved to set the election dates in early March before students leave for spring break. Jordan Allison, ASUA executive vice president, said senate elections will begin in January with interested applicants getting packets about the positions they will be running for. According to Allison, there are 13 positions within the student government: the president, executive vice president, administrative vice president and ten senators. Allison said students interested in running for ASUA will still have to get signatures, but ASUA has not determined the amount of signatures applicants will need to retrieve for senate elections. “It’s a really cool opportunity to go network with all the students, meet people, get your name out there,” Allison said. Allison encouraged students to

Budget cuts Severity of droughts in for AZPM, Southwest researched internships for students BY MAX LANCASTER

The Daily Wildcat

Less funding means more opportunity for UA students looking for internships and jobs at Arizona Public Media. This summer, the UA announced that AZPM will lose $2 million in funding over the next five years, or $400,000 each fiscal year. Jack Gibson , director and general manager of AZPM, believes the budget cuts will create better prospects for students. “Internships have increased due to budget cuts,” Gibson said. “Since we are unable to hire as many faculty, that gives more opportunities for internships and our training program.” Though losing funding often leads to difficulties, Gibson is positive about how AZPM has budgeted. “The cuts have not been easy to endure, but we increased staff and production, and we will continue to try and maintain or increase production each year,” Gibson said. Michael Chihak, the news director at AZPM, understands the university’s fiscal cut-down. Chikak said that the UA is growing but has a finite revenue pool and administration has to look campuswide for funding. Chihak also understands that cuts are a part of the job. Gibson is confident about getting through the first year of cuts, but cannot

RESEARCHERS FROM THE UA and Cornell University are studying the likelihood of a megadrought in the Southwest region of the U.S. According to the researchers, a megadrought is a drought lasting 35 years or more.

BY MAX RODRIGUEZ The Daily Wildcat

Researchers from Cornell University, the US Geological Survey and the UA recently conducted a study gauging the possibility of prolonged droughts occurring in the Southwest. The researchers looked at the risk of both a decade-long drought and a megadrought, which they defined as a drought lasting 35 years or more. Julia Cole, a co-author of the study and a professor of geosciences at UA, put the risks in perspective. “The most notable result has to do with the future risk of these prolonged megadroughts,” Cole said. “Depending on where you are in the Southwest, and depending on the amount of carbon dioxide, the risk of a 35-year drought can be between 20 percent and 50 percent.” Cole said the risk for Arizona in particular is

around 30 percent, or a 1-in-3 chance for most of the state. Cole, along with Toby Ault of Cornell University, assessed the risk by looking at paleoclimate data, instrumental rainfall data and climate models to interpret realistic climate behavior. Cole described climate models as “big computer programs that mimic the physics and circulation of the atmosphere.” They are used to model how greenhouse gases will affect the climate. As for how this would affect the environment in Arizona, professors did not hold any punches. Victor Baker, a regents professor of hydrology and water resources, focused on the effect such a drought would have on Arizona’s water resources. “[A megadrought] would be severe stress on water resources because of the dependence

The senate then yielded to Commander Brian Seastone, the chief of police at the University of Arizona Police Department, for the next topic of discussion. UAPD asked ASUA for $37,000 to fund a new app it wants to bring to campus called LiveSafe. If approved, LiveSafe will be a supplement to the blue light system on campus. “This app is an additional safety measure for people to report crimes to [UAPD], to give them the opportunity to have emergency procedures right at their fingertips at all times,” Seastone said. Seastone said that the app will call 911 directly, and people can send a text message to the police department through the app if they are in an unsafe situation.

Vetter said DuVal worked to increase access and affordability to higher education while he served on the board. DuVal has also promised to veto any bill that continues to make cuts to education, Vetter said. Killian also said he didn’t like the way the board of regents was portrayed in the ad. “It makes it sound like the regents are greedy and we’ve raised tuition to persecute middle-income families, which couldn’t be further from the truth,” Killian said. The ad opens with a mother lying awake in bed and the narrator speaks about how the sharp rise in college tuition in Arizona has forced middleclass families to pay more. The ad says DuVal voted to raise tuition each year and repeats that the increases were “just not fair.” In a statement, Gail Gitcho, RGA communications director, said that DuVal did little to prevent the tuition increase that occurred while he served on the board of regents. This is the group’s first ad in the Arizona gubernatorial race. “College students in Arizona can thank Democrat Fred DuVal for their ever-increasing tuition rates,” Gitcho said. Killian, who describes himself as a conservative Republican, said he did not appreciate the RGA creating a campaign issue with the ad. “I really don’t like outside groups coming into Arizona, defining the candidates and defining the issues for Arizona,” he said. A recent poll of likely voters from Rasmussen Reports showed DuVal tied with his Republican challenger, Doug Ducey, at 40 percent with about two months to go until the general election.

MORE THAN A CHALLENGE Local foundation aims to eradicate ALS The biology behind ALS BY DARA FAHRADI

People ranging from your best friend to Robert Downey, Jr. have taken the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and funded research for the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. But what hasn’t gone viral is how researchers are studying the disease. Daniela Zarnescu, an associate professor of molecular and cellular biology, has been working towards understanding the biology of the disease and possible treatments. Zarnescu’s lab uses a fly model of ALS as a way to learn more about the disease. These flies have a human gene, TDP-43, inserted into their genome. TDP-43 has been linked to 95 percent of the human cases of ALS, according to Zarnescu. After TDP-43 insertion, the flies express the same symptoms as humans with the disorder, Zarnescu said. “The objective is to see what TDP43 might be doing, to promote disease or cause it,” said Andrés Morera, a doctoral candidate in molecular and cellular biology and a student working in Zarnescu’s lab. The lab does genetic and drug screens on these flies to find new genes that might contribute to ALS and drugs that might treat the disease. A screen is an unbiased search for genes or molecules, Zarnescu said. “Think of [the screen] as a fishing expedition with a defect as a starting point,” Zarnescu said. “All these things that happen in people happen in flies, too, so we can use these defects as a place to begin our search.” Essentially, it’s a sophisticated version of trial and error where different genes and drugs are tested using the flies to determine if they might affect ALS. So far, these fishing expeditions have led to some significant discoveries. Zarnescu said the laboratory found an abnormality in the flies that exactly matched an abnormality found in the

autopsied spinal cord of a human who died from ALS. The discovered gene is now being investigated as a cause of the abnormality. As more screens are run, more genes and drugs can be discovered or eliminated as possibilities, Zarnescu said. In addition, Zarnescu’s lab has also begun using a metabolic approach to study differences in metabolism found in humans with ALS. Zarnescu explained that patients with ALS show hypermetabolism, which means their metabolism works too quickly. At rest, a person with ALS uses more energy than people without the disorder. The discoveries made from the ALS studies might have impacts on other diseases as well. Many of the phenomena associated with ALS, including protein aggregates, are found in other neurodegenerative disorders, Morera explained. Morera is studying how protein aggregates affect insulin signaling. Insulin signaling is important for the uptake and storage of glucose and other nutrients. Morera uses a variety of molecular techniques to determine how genes, proteins and elements of the insulin pathway all interact with each other. The data the lab collects and publishes helps clarify how ALS and other related disorders work, which in turn helps other researchers move forward towards understanding and ultimately treating this debilitating disease. The search for a cure is complicated, but new discoveries are being made every day. “I think that cure is a tough word,” Zarnescu said, “but in terms of treatment and improved prognosis, these are possible in the near future.” — Follow Amy Nippert @dailywildcat

UA research aims to reduce viral spread BY CHELSEA REGAN The Daily Wildcat

Germs and viruses are all around us. This is especially true in communal areas, such as the residence halls that are new homes to many incoming freshmen. Researchers in the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health have been studying how easily these invisible threats can be spread. Simple hygiene intervention techniques can reduce the risk of getting an illness from these viruses, according to Kelly Reynolds, an associate professor in the College of Public Health. Reynolds is currently studying the spread of viruses in communal areas such as bathrooms, conference rooms and office spaces. She recently completed a simulation that mimicked a sick person coming into work in Reynolds’ own office to follow the spread of viruses. Reynold’s office space consists of separate cubicles for her and her colleagues. “We tend to be fairly isolated, so we didn’t think that we’d see a lot of spread of germs, but I was wrong,” Reynolds said. Reynolds studied the virus spread by following the spread of an artificial detectable “virus” given to an unknown colleague in the morning. “By lunch, we came back and started swabbing surfaces and hands of other

workers on this floor and found that over 50 percent of surfaces and over 50 percent of the hands of other workers tested positive for this virus,” Reynolds said. In addition to studying the spread of

SIGMA XI

viruses, Reynolds and her colleagues also looked at what can be done to prevent the spread of viruses. Their hygiene intervention consisted of simply putting up signs and telling the research participants

to use hand sanitizer, which is what resulted in the reduced risk of viral spread. “The amount of pathogens on the surfaces dropped dramatically and reduced by 80 percent [through hygiene intervention],” Reynolds said. This information is especially pertinent to the thousands of incoming freshmen and returning students living in the residence halls. “Prevention is a very big deal, especially for residents, because they’re not with their family to take care of them,” said Delaney Stratton, a registered nurse and graduate student in the College of Nursing. “Not only are illness factors physically draining, it can be emotionally draining as well, so preventing the entire thing would be the ideal situation.” There are two simple tips that students can use to prevent the spread of viruses in the residence halls, Reynolds explained. The first one is well known — frequent hand washing — but students should also refrain from touching their faces, as viruses can enter through the mouth or nose, Reynolds said. “It’s a matter of empowering people to be their own self-advocates,” Stratton said.

Carbon capture can’t net problem BY kirk hendricks The Daily Wildcat

hile some pollutants in the atmosphere have been reduced, including — thankfully — lead concentrations, carbon dioxide levels continue to rise as world oil demand and use increases, causing worldwide climate change that no one is truly willing to stop. Electric cars still cannot compete with the affordability and mileage of gas-powered vehicles, and even if they could, it would take years to eliminate the gas-powered vehicles on the road today. Oil use is here to stay. Cars are the most difficult source of pollution to handle since there’s no one specific source to deal with. Millions of cars traverse highways all across the U.S. daily, emitting greenhouse gases. To reduce a factory’s emissions, one could simply add a chemical scrubber to a smokestack, but cars require a more imaginative solution. This is where direct carbon capture comes in. If it’s futile to eliminate gas-powered cars or outfit each and every one of them with a high-tech pollution-capture device, then the next step is to take carbon dioxide directly out of the atmosphere, no matter how it got there. However, a device on a large enough scale to affect the global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is, at best, extremely expensive and, at worst, impossible to implement with current technology. Xubin Zeng, an atmospheric sciences professor, specializes in several areas of research, including climate modeling. Zeng said there is a lack of technology and research in the area of direct carbon capture and there is no economically viable mechanism that could have an effect on a global scale. Even if the technology was available, the problem becomes how to store the captured carbon and how to power a carbon capture machine without fossil fuels, which would simply release more carbon into the air. Carbon Engineering, a Canadianbased company beginning to commercialize direct carbon capture, believes that it has solutions to these objections. Having developed and created several prototypes for both capturing carbon dioxide in a factory setting and directly from the atmosphere, the company believes it can use wind as a source of power to avoid polluting the atmosphere. The technology then sequesters carbon into an inert solid that can be returned to the ground. While this sounds well and good, this doesn’t acknowledge the major problem with such a promising technology: The air is a public good. The problem is not so much with creating the technology or doing the research; if a company such as CE sets its collective mind to developing carbon capture, carbon capture will happen. The problem is how humans deal with a resource that everyone can pollute but no one needs to clean up. While scientists work on the technology, the world’s population needs to take responsibility for what’s been put into the atmosphere over hundreds of years. This is an over-arching problem when dealing with global environmental issues. No one has to do anything. Dumping trash in the ocean and killing coral reef communities, overfishing international waters and endangering fish populations or adding pollutants into the atmosphere and perpetuating climate change — all of these things are non-regulatable. No country or individual is held accountable because these things belong to everyone. Carbon capture could easily act as a major component of a solution to climate change and seems to be on the horizon technologically, but it — and every other climate solution — is not economically viable as of yet. Until it is, people must step up and actually be held accountable for preventing pollution and cleaning up what already exists. — Kirk Hendricks is a sophomore studying math and physics.

Health inequalities ill-treated BY Nick Havey

The Daily Wildcat

f you’ve ever read “The Hot Zone” or seen that one episode of “House” that deals with Ebola, you know it’s nothing to mess with. Whether it’s the bleeding from your eyes or the high likelihood of a quick and painful death, Ebola is a horrifying bastard of nature that should have been eradicated years ago but has — through intense mutation and aided by ideal conditions such as tropical weather and healthcare in developing nations — persisted and continues to kill an absurd amount of people in Africa. Despite the consequences, in this country, a policy of negligence and intolerance toward those with the disease has been adopted. While it may not make financial sense to ship patients back to U.S. treatment centers, ignoring a worldwide health issue is irresponsible. On a day-to-day basis, the U.S. as a nation seems okay with completely shirking its responsibility toward total equality in healthcare and adopting a stance of everyday racism. It turns out that one of the best medicines out there is having white skin, and it is

an endemic problem that occurs worldwide. In light of this negligence, it’s no wonder Americans were outraged when two volunteering U.S. missionaries treating Ebola patients in Liberia, Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, were brought back to the U.S. for treatment. People were up in arms, saying they were a public health risk — which, while they admittedly were, does not mean they are not people deserving of proper treatment. They were taken immediately to Emory University Hospital, a healthcare center far more equipped to deal with Ebola than pop-up clinics in Liberia and Sierra Leone. There is a fine line between outrage and attention, but the worst part of the “outrage” surrounding the volunteers’ transfer is that they wouldn’t have been transferred had they not been white and upper middle class. We’re not really interested in dealing with Ebola in general, but we’re a bit more receptive when the highest echelon of power in America is affected. While Brantly and Writebol potentially have insurance, there is a clear double standard surrounding their treatment. None of the thousands of infected African people have been transported to superior healthcare facilities on the basis of their lives being important and worth great expense to save, and there is certainly no up-to-the-

minute coverage surrounding each infection that sprouts up overseas. It’s not really the United States’ job to be everywhere, but it is our job to care from a global health standpoint. There is a clear disparity between worldwide and American healthcare that needs to be resolved, but, according to Julia Belluz at Vox, it’s a problem that can’t be fixed without an examination of the blatant privilege surrounding it. The treatment of Ebola-infected black patients in Africa is also related to disparities of healthcare between white people and people of color in the U.S. Thomas LaVeist, director of the Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions, has been undertaking research to combat racial disparities for years. When he initially wrote his dissertation back in 1990, LaVeist’s research concerned how many infant deaths were associated with being black, and, unfortunately, not much has improved since then. One key problem that LaVeist has associated with this health care disparity is everyday racism. “These little microaggressions include things like going to a reception … and no one talks to you, trying to go into an elevator and someone doesn’t hold the door from you or walking into the elevator and someone moves further away as if they’re concerned about you snatching their purse,” LaVeist said. “These things are happening at a

subconscious level, and they have a physiological and psychological response. That degrades your health, and it has been shown to degrade the strength of the immune system.” Research similar to LaVeist’s could be further conducted to understand why this disparity exists. This research could consider insurance coverage, racial proclivities to certain diseases and deviations in access to healthcare. As within a lot of systems in this nation — such as welfare, voting and education — people of color are systematically oppressed and lack the same inherent privilege white people benefit from in healthcare. It’s a shame that this problem, while thoroughly identified, persists in many national institutions and remains practically uncontested. “What dictates how healthy you’ll be throughout life — and all the promise and opportunity that cascades from that — is something a lot more basic,” Belluz writes. “In America, it’s still the color of your skin.” So if you end up contracting Ebola — and you’re a white person — congrats! Your chance of survival is higher than any person of color.

Police militarization snuffing out citizen confidence, safety BY ashleigh horowitz The Daily Wildcat

efore the shooting in Ferguson, Mo., and its resulting riots, a push towards militarizing police forces in the U.S. had been quietly occurring. In the early 1990s, the Department of Defense created programs allowing law enforcement officers to acquire excess government military equipment for reduced prices or free of charge. The department’s 1033 and 1706 Programs provide equipment such as body armor, assault rifles, armored vehicles and grenade launchers to police, firefighters and emergency agencies for free. The 1122 Program allows agencies to purchase non-excess resources for anti-drug and anti-terrorism use at reduced costs. Finally, the Night Vision Loan Program provides sight enhancement utilities for either a loan or at reduced prices to police forces. The New York Times says that the amount of equipment up for grabs is based on how much excess equipment the government has. If the excess utilities aren’t requested by police agencies, they are destroyed. States essentially get to decide on the fate of the weapons, but when it comes to the government handing out free stuff, no one is

law enforcement techniques,” said Dan Downing, a sergeant of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department, to Fox59. However, on the streets and in the community is not where these weapons belong. Barring terrifying catastrophes, what criminal is driving a tank, using grenade launchers or carrying a 6 mm assault rifle to a robbery? While governments promise they’re going to save the weapons for the use of extreme situations, having them at all will be like keeping candy in the pantry. If it’s there, someone will eat it. When the government begins treating its citizens as criminals — time bombs who at any moment could explode into a rage of riots — what will be the difference between the U.S. and other nations with people who despise their government? A proper government is not feared by the people but is instead directed by them. What the U.S. has begun leaning toward is trying to contain its citizens with grenades and tear gas rather than listening to them. When soldiers go into battle, they are armed with weapons similar to their opponents for a reason; their goal is to neutralize those who are prepared for the fight. When police officers go into battle, they aren’t fighting soldiers; they’re fighting a robber with a handgun, a kidnapper with a knife, regular citizens.

going to turn it down. According to The New York Times, as of August, every state has taken advantage of militarization programs set in place by the department. The government should protect its citizens through both the justice system and law enforcement. This ensures that people feel safe within their own homes. However, allowing law enforcement to use military-grade force to restrain people is unsettling. With all of these government programs and states choosing to take so many weapons — Arizona alone has acquired 4,436 utilities as of August — it’d be plausible to assume that crime and terror have gotten worse in the past decade, but the opposite has happened. According to The New York Times, the number of terrorist attacks has declined since the ‘60s and ‘70s. The gun homicide rate has dropped from seven in 100,000 people in 1993 to 3.6 per 100,000 in 2010, according to a Pew Research Center study. But even with terror potentially on the run, The New York Times says SWAT teams have grown and their recruiting films have changed. Now, SWAT forces are shown in their videos wearing camouflage, throwing grenades and breaking into homes. State governments say that they are acquiring these weapons from the department’s programs to protect their citizens against criminals and extreme situations. “You have a lot of people who are coming out of the military that have the ability and knowledge to build [improved explosive devices] and to defeat

POLICE BEAT BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

We rollinâ€™, we smokinâ€™

A non-UA affiliated man was arrested Sunday on charges of weapon misconduct, possession of marijuana, driving without a license and failure to stay in a lane. A University of Arizona Police Department officer pulled over a man driving a black Mercedes-Benz at 12:58 a.m. after seeing the vehicle drift into other traffic lanes multiple times. Upon contact with the driver, the officer explained the reason for the stop and asked the man for his driverâ€™s license, proof of insurance and vehicle registration. The officer noticed that the driver began to profusely sweat and would not look him in the eye. The driver said he did not have a valid Arizona driverâ€™s license and his car had been previously impounded for that reason. The officer advised him that the vehicle would have to be impounded again for the same reason. After citing the driver for driving without a license, a search of the car was conducted. The officer smelled a strong scent of marijuana coming from a black backpack in the car. When the officer opened the backpack, he found a loaded .357-caliber revolver with a large glass jar that contained two large baggies of marijuana. The driver was arrested and booked at Pima County Jail.

Uber wasted

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office Sunday after a UAPD officer found the student sitting on the curb at Fourth Street and Highland Avenue and apparently crying on the phone. The officer went to find the girl after an Uber driver flagged him down and advised him to check on her. She had just exited his vehicle. The Uber driver said he was giving the girl a ride to her residence hall when she suddenly exited the car at the intersection of Fourth Street and Highland Avenue. The student told the Uber driver that she had been previously vomiting and needed to exit the car. The student was speaking to her mother on the phone, saying she drank something at a party and now felt very sick. She handed the officer the phone and he spoke to her mother as well. The mother told him that her daughter is on medication and that may have caused her to feel sick after consuming alcohol. After returning the phone back to the student, the officer noticed that she had very slurred speech, a strong smell of alcohol coming from her breath and bloodshot eyes. The student said she was at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house for a party and consumed two mixed drinks and five shots. She called her uncle to pick her up. The uncle said he would take responsibility of her if she did not need medical attention. The student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for a minor in bodily possession of alcohol.

Arizona Football is set to face veteran UTSA in its first road game of the year after each team had comfortable season opening victories BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football faces one of the nation’s youngest programs but oldest teams, UTSA, in San Antonio today at 5 p.m. Arizona time on Fox Sports 1. UTSA has won 20 of its first 35 games and its current six-game win streak against Football Bowl Subdivision teams is the third longest in the country, behind only Florida State and Michigan State. The Roadrunners feature 37 seniors and return 21 starters from 2013, both tops in the FBS. USA Today called UTSA “college football’s best startup.” The Roadrunners over the Wildcats is a trendy upset pick nationally. UTSA opened the season with a 27-7 upset against Houston on Friday. “They just completely shut them down and got off blocks,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “Houston couldn’t block them. They broke on a ball well and tackled on an open field extremely well.” UTSA avenged its 59-28 loss to Houston in San Antonio last year and spoiled the opening game of the Cougar’s TDECU Stadium. “San Antonio had a good plan and they followed that plan,” Rodriguez said. UTSA jumped out to a 27-0 lead. The Roadrunners gave up 208 yards, including -26 rushing, and forced eight three-and-outs in the Cougars’ first nine drives. UTSA senior linebacker Jens Jeters was named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week for

his efforts. He had five tackles, recovered a fumble and forced a fumble. “It’s amazing where we are,” UTSA head coach Larry Coker said to The Paisano. “Three years ago, we barely had a team. Now we are playing division one football and winning. There are definitely more big ones to come.” Coker won the national coach of the year award twice and the 2001 national championship at Miami. Arizona beat UTSA 38-13 last year in Tucson. Where to Watch

As the Roadrunners were getting started, UTEP donated 100 sets of pads to UTSA, and University of Texas proper gave the Roadrunners 100 pieces of equipment.

Orange is the new black

Founded in 1969, UTSA is a relatively new school.

Lewis channels family for motivation BY EVAN ROSENFELD The Daily Wildcat

enior Arizona volleyball player Ronni Lewis is used to being tenacious when it comes to her athletic pursuits. After all, it’s hard not to when competition runs in your genes. Her cousin is three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh-Jennings, her grandfather played in a Rose Bowl, her uncle played minor league baseball and semi-professional basketball and around 20 of her family members have competed in college sports. “My family motivates me everyday and I just want to make them proud and come out, work hard and compete – both for them and for myself,” Lewis said. “I aspire to be like [Walsh-Jennings] mentally and emotionally every time I step on the court.” Lewis entered the UA’s volleyball program four years ago and, since then, has developed into one of the squad’s most-valued players. Most recently, she was named starting libero after proving her consistency and advancing her skills. The libero position functions as a defensive specialist who is responsible for maintaining ball control, especially in serve receiving. Good liberos should be consistent, agile, swift on their feet and skilled at passing and digging. “I think there’s been a lot of pressure on Ronni, a lot of selfimposed pressure, and I think there’s a lot of pressure within the program that she feels and has felt,” Arizona head coach Dave Rubio said.

TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

THENJUNIOR RONNI LEWIS 1 spikes the ball during the UA’s 3-0 winagainst Utah on Nov. 14, 2013 in McKale Center. Lewis earned the starting libero spot this year.

Rubio explained that you can’t be an elite team without the libero position being solid. He said it may be the most competitive position on the team and that [Lewis] knows that every day in practice she needs to be ready to step up to the challenge. “She’s got her teammates

breathing down her neck,” Rubio said. “We have a number of really good players in her position who are fighting for her spot, and, up until a week ago, I wasn’t convinced that she was the person who was going to win the job.” However, over the last couple practices, Rubio said

she separated herself from her competitors. “I’ve been waiting for that separation,” Rubio said. “Her consistency has gotten much better and I thought she really played well last weekend. She played like a senior.” When asked about her fondest memories over the course of her time as a Wildcat, Lewis mentioned the first time she started at libero her sophomore year against thenNo. 5 UCLA and big wins like last season against then-No. 1 ranked USC last fall. Lewis said that the moments she will remember and cherish the most, however, were the tough practices where the whole team had to really come together and road trips where everyone was tired and goofy with one another. “I’ll never forget those,” Lewis said. “They are experiences I wish more people could have. But that’s just the life of a student-athlete.” Lewis said that after her senior campaign comes to a close and she graduates, she plans to take a year off to take everything in and put things in perspective. She said she has an interest in going to law school at some point in the future, and she’s interested in exploring the beach volleyball realm and might resume playing volleyball in Europe after her time at Arizona. “I will continue to play,” Lewis said. “But where I’ll play, I have no idea quite yet.”

TO WIN

THE DAILY WILDCAT • 7 games against FBS teams in 2013. UTSA returned 21 starters and has 37 seniors, the most in the country. The Roadrunners have been working towards this game since 2010.

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

Overconfidence After Arizona opened the season with another 58-13 pasting of UNLV and with UTSA being a team with little-tono name recognition, it’s easy to be overconfident. Sure, UTSA has had a winning record in two of its first three seasons, but 15 of those games were against lower-level teams like Northeastern State, Bacone, Minot State, Texas A&M-Commerce, Northwestern Oklahoma State and McNeese State. UTSA head coach Larry Coker said to USA Today before the Houston game that the Cougars may think “we’re just the startup guys from San Antonio who played a piss-ant schedule and did good.” However, last year, the Roadrunners went 7-5 against an all-Football Bowl Subdivision schedule. Arizona, though it was in the Pac-12 Conference, only won seven

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

Avoiding Interceptions After Arizona’s explosive offensive performance against UNLV on Friday, UA redshirt freshman Anu Solomon must stay consistent for the Wildcats to put up another exemplary performance. On defense, UTSA returns 10 starters and two of the best secondary players in the country. UTSA safeties Triston Wade and Nic Johnson have combined for 29 turnovers in 68 career games. Yet, Arizona brings not only the number-one ranked offense in the country after one game, but also a number of talented wide receivers. This will be Solomon’s first collegiate game on the road, so he will have to stay calm and collected. Luckily for Arizona, that is Solomon’s specialty. UA redshirt senior offensive lineman Mickey Baucus said that Solomon “never gets too flustered,” and compared him to former UA quarterback Nick Foles, “because he never got too rattled when the game wasn’t going his way.” Stepping Up the Running Game One of the reasons the Wildcats played so extraordinarily on offense was due to their running game. Against UNLV, Arizona had 353 yards on the ground and will have to have another impressive running game performance to beat UTSA. If UA redshirt senior Terris JonesGrigsby cannot play in Thursday’s game due to his ankle injury, UA freshman running back Nick Wilson will have to step in, which should not be too difficult. In his first collegiate game, Wilson ran for 104 yards on seven attempts, including an 85-yard touchdown run against UNLV. With those numbers, Arizona will be incredibly difficult to stop.

THENFRESHMAN LINEBACKER Ryan Dunn (25) celebrates after a play during the UA’s 38-13 win against UTSA on Sept. 14, 2013 at Arizona Stadium. The Wildcats take on UTSA this week in a rematch.

Early Lead In last year’s game against UTSA, the Wildcats put up 24 points by the end of the second quarter to a measly six points put up by the Roadrunners. For this game, it will be important for Arizona to get off to a good start on both sides of the ball, just like it did last year. UTSA is confident after defeating Houston last week and the best way to end its confidence would be a quick lead to terminate its momentum. Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez knows what UTSA head coach Larry Coker is capable of if the Roadrunners are still in the game after the first half. — Follow Matt Wall @mwall20

Remember the Alamodome Arizona will face a fan base hungry for its first win against a team from one of the Power Five conferences in San Antonio. Texas, Texas A&M, Houston and Dallas are all at least an hour and 20 minutes away, so UTSA is as big as it gets for the football-mad Texans in San Antonio. While UTSA is expecting between 32,000 and 34,000 people in the 65,000seat Alamodome, its stadium is, of course, a dome, and, fans will be louder than in an open stadium. Arizona fans have unpleasant memories of the Wildcats’ last trip to San Antonio. Oklahoma State pounded Nick Foles and Arizona 36-10 in the 2010 Alamo Bowl. Solomon struggles While redshirt freshman quarterback Anu Solomon enjoyed a recordbreaking night in his debut, he is still a freshman, obviously. Solomon overthrew a handful of receivers early on against the Rebels, including missing a sure touchdown or two. If Solomon struggles early again, the crowd would figuratively jump on the rookie and he could compound his mistakes. We also don’t know yet what the exchange rate for 475 yards against UNLV is. The Rebels could be terrible again; they went 2-11 in 2012, 2-10 in 2011 and 2-11 in 2010. Rich Rodriguez said the UA’s secondthrough fourth-string quarterbacks would have had “pretty good games, too.” UTSA features the most experienced secondary in the country with 133 starts between them.

TO LOSE

Power Five conferences cloud reality BY EVAN ROSENFELD The Daily Wildcat

elonging to a school within one of the Power 5 conferences has the potential to cloud reality and play down the longterm effects of the NCAA’s decision to grant the Pac-12, ACC, Big 10, Big 12 and SEC conferences power of autonomy over its athletic programs. According to the association’s ruling last month — which was approved by the Division I board of directors in a 16-2 vote — schools within the nation’s top five leagues now have the freedom to decide and control the outcome of long-disputed topics such as athletic program staff sizes, recruiting rules, mandatory hours spent on individual sports, cost-of-attendance stipends and insurance benefits for studentathletes. Additionally, the ruling could also give way to loosened restrictions involving contact between agents and players. Each of the 65 schools that this ruling applies to has until Oct. 1 to submit its own legislation in order for it to be authorized at the NCAA Convention in Washington in January. Four-year scholarships and full cost-ofattendance stipends rank among the top priorities on several league presidents’ lists of things to change. While this ruling may sound all well and good for an established athletic powerhouse like the UA, it represents the kiss of death for smaller institutions that belong to less-dominant leagues both from a recruiting and fiscal standpoint. With Power 5 schools being able to offer full cost-of-attendance stipends, smaller Division I schools that do not belong to one of the top five conferences are at a complete disadvantage. The amount of money a high-major program is able to shell out for its student-athletes is well beyond the money a mid-major program has at its disposal. It’s a fact that making the NCAA Tournament is good for a program from a recruiting standpoint. Prospective players want to know that the program they are coming into is strong and that they are being taken care of as studentathletes. Now, with the NCAA’s decision, even if small programs make Cinderella-runs and upset major teams in a tournament, there is no guarantee that it will positively affect their schools. Prospective athletes know that schools in the Power 5 conferences have the ability and funds to take better care of them.
