A new group on campus aims to give students the experiences they need to pursue careers in art.

Studio art senior Minh-Hoa Le founded the Student Art League of Arizona after applying to show her work in the Union Galleries . She contacted classmates and friends to join her after she was accepted.

“It started out just because it felt like, when we are students, we need to have support from each other to grow,” said Le, who focus-es on two-dimensional painting.

The group recently opened its � rst showing, “Then, Now, and To Be,” at the Union Galleries in the Student Union Memorial Center. The gallery features the work of eight artists, all of whom are UA students or alumni.

“Our show was so fresh ,” said interdisciplinary studies senior Michelle Mistelske , who focuses on painting. “There were really neat ideas that I haven’t seen out there in Tucson. It was very exciting.”

Plans for the show began in June. Most communication was done through email, though the artists met in person to plan some paintings.

“We did work on collaborative pieces,” said Caiomhín Shirey , a studio art student focusing on two-

dimensional painting. “A lot of us met and worked on those at the same time. That was fun. That was like the initiation, basically.”

Each artist has a separate collec-tion of work in the gallery, which are all tied together by the theme of inspiring one another to pursue art. Le said many of her classmates change majors or quit art in lieu of more lucrative careers.

“If it is somewhat de-motivat-ing, we need to motivate ourselves to continue to be art students and continue to be art students in the future,” she said. “So there comes the theme.”

Some students said the group gave them the opportunity to show their work for the � rst time.

“It’s actually been really great,” said studio art senior Talia Bodnar , who focuses on painting. “I’ve learned a lot. I’ve been working with a lot of older, more experi-enced artists.”

Members also said the process of planning the show helped with pro-fessional aspirations and showed them what it takes to be artist.

“It’s the business side, which they don’t really concentrate on in art school at all,” Shirey said. “So this is an extracurricular thing that helped us gain experience.”

The show’s opening, which fea-tured a panel discussion from pro-fessors, gave the artists the chance

to have their work critiqued.“Well, it de� nitely exposes

us,” said studio art senior Gabriel Hopson , who focuses on two-di-mensional painting. “My experi-ence with the show’s opening, we got to talk to a lot of people. More people than I would normally talk to about my own art.”

The group is unsure about its fu-ture plans but would like to con-tinue to work together. They are discussing opening another show, applying for grants or working on a public mural.

“We just have to brainstorm and see what falls in our lap,” Shirey said.

Recycling on campus just got simpler.

Facilities Management signed a new contract with the City of Tucson allowing them to put paper, cardboard and plastic to-gether. Before last year they were required to separate everything.

Facilities Management is looking into streamlining the bins around campus to re� ect the new contract, said Chris Kopach , the director of Facilities Management.

“So when you see a box, even if it’s white paper, if you want to put plastic in there instead of throwing it in the regular

trash, go ahead and do so,” Kopach said.

David Reiber , project manager at Facilities Management, said the switch has reduced labor.

Reiber said they used to have to remove all of the cardboard resulting in 8-foot piles around the recycling center, causing more work and frustration.

Prior to the contract, if more than 5 percent of the recycling was mixed, the city would not accept it at all, according to Reiber.

Now sorting of recyclable ma-terials is the responsibility of the city’s recycling center.

“We were using a lot more man power and resources to ac-tually separate everything, or

if it was too contaminated we couldn’t use it all,” Reiber said.

Facilities Management used to have two men do the required daily sorting.

At the recycling center, two 40-yard bins � lled with paper,

plastic and cardboard are emp-tied each day.

While plastic, cardboard and paper can now be recycled to-gether, aluminum must still be separated because the UA collects money on aluminum separately.

For all of the paper, card-board and plastic the UA splits the money 50-50 with the City of Tucson.

Increasing the amount recy-cled cuts waste and saves UA money by reducing “tipping fees,” the fee charged to put trash in a landfill, according to Kopach.

“Overall, we are doing well,” Reiber said. “The stu-dents and staff, they do really well as far as recycling.”

ORLANDO, Fla. — Close to 600 students in a senior-level business course at University of Central Florida must retake a midterm exam after a professor was tipped off to cheating.

Students who admit to cheating will be given the chance to com-plete the course if they attend an ethics seminar, professor Richard Quinn told students.

Those who don’t step forward will be found out anyway, Quinn promised during an emotional lecture.

The incident, Quinn told stu-dents, has left him “physically ill, absolutely disgusted” and “com-pletely disillusioned” after 20 years of teaching.

All the students — even those who didn’t cheat — must take the rewritten midterm exam by mid-night Wednesday. Students who are found not to have cheated will be able to keep the higher score of the two.

Cheaters typically risk disci-plinary action that could include expulsion, university of� cials say.

But Quinn brokered a deal with

DETROIT — Andrew Shirvell, the assistant state attorney gen-eral under � re for his attacks on a University of Michigan student, has been � red.

A hearing that was supposed to be held Tuesday was moved up to Monday afternoon. Philip Thomas, Shirvell’s attorney, said he showed up for the meeting and was read one sentence.

“They said essentially that as a result of Andrew’s conduct, it’s become impossible for him to car-ry out his duties as an attorney general.”

Shirvell had been criticized for his blog in which he calls Chris Armstrong, the presi-dent of the Michigan Student Assembly, a radical homosexu-al, a Nazi and Satan’s represen-tative on the assembly. Thomas had said his client is expressing his free-speech rights.

Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 6 — Romance is all around you. If it’s not affecting you personally, you’re aware of how love is touching others. Last night’s dreams come true today.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 7 — You’ve been imagining a trip to a sunny beach somewhere gorgeous. Enlist help with reservations and scheduling. You may not be able to fit in everything.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 7 — Someone outside your usual group injects ideas that cause a flurry of emotional activity. Use diagrams or art to get this down to practical terms.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) — Today is a 5 — A close associate sends secret messages concerning what should be a practical matter. Why the signals? Follow up with sensitive questions to reveal the whole story.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 — You want to stick to the obvious, practical procedures already in place. Other team members suggest wild alternatives. Try to incorporate some of these into the plan.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 — You need creative outlets today. This could involve exercise, sports or artistic projects. Your own imagination provides numerous choices. Go play.

I heard that you just recently lost your wallet. What went through your head when you opened up your purse and your wallet was missing?

I was freaking out because I have everything in there. My license, all my debit cards, I just got an ICET (Integrated Common Entrance Test) card because I am going to Peru for the winter and I was freaking out because I just got it and that was such a big relief that I got it and it’s my new favorite wallet too.

Why are you going to Peru?

I’m doing this program called Imaginations, where I am going to do clinical medicine there, where I will work for like three weeks in a clinic there.

Is that what you want to do out of college?

Yeah, I want to be a doctor and hopefully work internationally.

That’s awesome. If you could trade places with anyone right now, who would it be?

Tough question. Well, I guess I loved my senior year, so probably someone in their senior year. Freshman year of college is tougher than you’d think it be. I definitely underestimated how difficult classes would be and how difficult it is to not do absolutely everything because there is so much going on. So senior year was fun and it’s the point where classes aren’t as difficult because you’re a senior, so they’re lenient on you.

You said there are a lot of things here you want to get involved in. What is the coolest thing you want to be a part of or do here at the U of A?

I don’t know. Well, I am pretty involved now. I love everything. I think the clubs are the best because there is like everything you could be interested in. I think that’s my favorite part.

How is dorm life treating you? Are you hating Residence Life yet?

I like it. My dorm is really quiet, which is nice, and I can just get homework done when I’m there, and everyone is friendly.

If you had to live in either a dorm or igloo the rest of your life, which would you chose?

I’ve never tried an igloo so hey, I’ll try the igloo. I don’t know for the rest of my life but I would get so sick of a dorm.

Yeah, but you’d be living with polar bears.

Polar bears are cute though.

We’re always hearing sobering news about the widespread AIDS epidemic, but, until now, you’ve prob-ably never “heard” about HIV quite like this.

Alexandra Pajak, a graduate stu-dent at the University of Georgia, has just created a whole new way of looking at the complexities of HIV by combining the biology of the disease with music.

For months, Pajak carefully studied the different types of DNA that make up the AIDS virus and assigned musi-cal pitches to each individual strand.

What resulted was a 17-track, 52-minute album of transcribed “DNA music,” appropriately dubbed

“Sounds of HIV.”“I wanted to show all of the prop-

erties that the DNA in HIV contains. Hopefully it’s a whole new way for people to learn about the science be-hind the disease,” Pajak said.

The graduate student — who stud-ied music as an undergrad at Agnes Scott College — said the project took her more than three months to com-plete because she wanted to compose the most accurate musical translation possible of the genetic code of HIV.

“I stayed very loyal to the DNA. Every segment of the virus was as-signed music pitches that correspond to the segment’s scientific properties. The sounds literally reflect the nature

of the virus,” she explained.Pajak said she first broke down the

basic nucleotides in the DNA — sci-entifically abbreviated A,C,T and G — and assigned tones to those. Luckily, A, C and G are also already musical pitches in the scale, so she said match-ing up that part was easy.

“There was a lot of logic involved in this. I also broke down 20 amino ac-ids and proteins and assigned pitches to those. I used the A-minor scale for the amino acids based on their level of attraction to water. So, when you hear this CD, you’re literally hearing the entire genome of the HIV virus. It’s pretty cool,” she added.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A Superior Court jury Monday sen-tenced Steven Hayes to death for the murders of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, Hayley and Michaela, at their Cheshire, Conn., home in July 2007.

Outside the courthouse after the verdict, Hawke-Petit’s father, the Rev. Richard Hawke, said, “There are some people who do not de-serve to live in God’s world.”

Dr. William Petit Jr., who sur-vived the brutal attack on his fam-ily, said, “This is a verdict for jus-tice.” But, he said, as the verdict was read, “I was really thinking of the tremendous loss … I was sad for the loss we have all suffered …

“Probably many of you have kids,” Petit said, pausing to choke back tears. His voice breaking, he said, “Michaela was an 11-year-old little girl. She was tortured and killed in her own bedroom, sur-rounded by her stuffed animals.”

Petit also talked about his daugh-ter Hayley’s bright future and her strength and the many children that his wife, Jennifer, helped.

Petit thanked the jury for doing its job, and said, “I appreciate the fact that there was seven women on the jury. This was a case of sexu-al predation … I liked to see wom-en stand up for other women.”

Hawke-Petit was raped during the attack, and Michaela was sexual-ly assaulted, according to testimony.

“Crimes like this have to be pur-sued and prosecuted vigorously,” he said. “The easy way out is to plead things out.” He described how New Haven state’s attorney

Michael Dearington came to his house and said, “If any case de-serves the death penalty, it’s this one. If I don’t go for it, there’s no reason to have it on the books.”

Petit said he agreed. “In a civi-lized society, people need to be re-sponsible for their actions,” he said.

He criticized those who accused the media and family members of creating an atmosphere of blood lust. “That is the kettle calling the pot black,” he said.

Asked if he thought there would be closure now, Petit said, “There’s never closure. There’s a hole … with jagged edges … that may smooth out with time, but the hole in your heart and the hole in your soul” remains.

Inside the courtroom, Hayes looked straight ahead — as he has throughout the entire trial — as the jury of seven women and five men, after deliberating for 17 hours, sen-tenced Hayes to death on all six pos-sible death-penalty counts. He will be formally sentenced Dec. 2.

Once the sentencing date was set, Judge Jon C. Blue looked over at Hayes.

“The defendant may be taken down,” Blue said.

New Haven public defend-er Thomas J. Ullmann shook Hayes’ hand and patted his arm before a judicial marshal led him out of the room.

“He’s thrilled,” Ullmann said of Hayes. “He’s very happy with the verdict,” Ullmann said to report-ers outside the courthouse.

Ullmann declined to say why he thought Hayes was thrilled and he refused to discuss what he talk-ed about with Hayes. But he said he saw Hayes smile as the verdict

was read.“That’s what he wanted,” he

said, adding that Hayes wanted to commit “suicide by state” with an execution.

“He’s tried to kill himself be-fore,” Ullmann said. “The jury gave him what he wants.”

As the verdicts were read in the solemn courtroom, Petit became emotional, his eyes filling with tears as the victim’s advocate grabbed his hand. At one point, upon hearing the names of his wife and daugh-ters, Petit closed his eyes.

Nearby, Petit’s mother, his sis-ter and several other relatives also

cried, some dropping their heads as the court clerk read through the ver-dicts. There was no elation on that side of the gallery.

Several jurors also cried and comforted one another with touch-es on hands or arms. Some looked over at the Petit family as the ver-dicts were read.

Dearington, in a nod to the up-coming trial of the second defendant in the case, Joshua Komisarjevsky, he said: “It’s not over yet.”

Hayes, 47, of Winsted, Conn., was convicted Oct. 5 of breaking into the Petit home, beating Petit, tying up and torturing the family as

Hayes and another man ransacked the home for cash and valuables and tortured the family for seven hours. Testimony during Hayes’ trial showed that at one point in the break-in, Hayes forced Hawke-Petit to go to the bank to withdraw money. During that time, according to testimony, Komisarjevsky sexu-ally assaulted Michaela Petit, 11.

When Hawke-Petit and Hayes re-turned from the bank, Hayes raped and strangled Hawke-Petit. The house was doused with gasoline and set on fire as the intruders fled, testimony showed. Hayley, 17, and Michaela died of smoke inhalation.

After an extremely revealing midterm election, most are unaware of the implications the results might mean

for America. Many are quick to purport their party’s ability to assert its will in Congress, but this is foolish and a misunderstanding of what indeed transpired Nov. 2. Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives and Democrats held a small majority in the Senate.

This means two things: First, Americans are hurting. This is no surprise. We are in the worst economic climate since the Great Depression. One in 10 Americans are out of work. Slews of the working class are underemployed and living paycheck to paycheck. With adversity comes frustration. President Barack Obama and the Democrat-laden Congress apparently have either not done enough to fix these issues, not communicated such efforts effectively enough to the American people or simply not corrected the hardships Americans have been feeling over the past few years quickly enough.

Second, the change of hands of power in the House of Representatives and lessening of the stronghold the Democrats had in the Senate means that everyone will now be

forced to work together. The rhetoric of the Republicans was filled with sound bites alluding to the repeal of health care reform, etc. These will not occur with a Democratic majority in the Senate and a Democrat as president with the power to veto legislation.

Although the significant gains in the House of Representatives are a concern for the Democratic Party, Republicans would best be served to take a breath and look at the reality of the situation they are now in at the Capitol. Even Republican strategists are calling this a shift of frustration more than a shift of confidence. Erick Erickson, a Republican contributor on CNN and editor-in-chief of the conservative website RedState.com, stated that Republicans “have to be cautious, though, because the polling is showing that voters still don’t trust the GOP.”

If the two parties fail to work together and approach each issue looking at party lines, rather than taking each one as an issue in and of itself, America’s frustration will continue five fold in the Congressional stalemate that will occur.

“Compromise” is the word of the day, month, year, decade and maybe century. Rather than seeing political party lines, Congress must see the lines forming outside

of soup kitchens, payday loan establishments, salvation armies and food stamp distribution locations. We, as Americans, are fighting through some of the toughest adversity our country has seen in close to 80 years and, as such, it is time for our representative Congress to work together across party lines.

Though these two parties have differing philosophies on how to bring about the best state of living, they need to acknowledge these differences and work to find common ground. We hear these phrases all the time, phrases such as “common ground,” “compromise,” “work together,” yet nothing seems to happen. As the power of the parties shifts in Congress and the White House, it seems to be a pervasively recurring theme.

I just wonder when these two parties will begin to understand the message, that Americans want things done, not stalemates, political posturing or hateful campaign ads. Some argue that is it a necessary evil within the political process to get things done, but I reject this claim and hold that it is simply a conditioned element of the process that has existed so long, people have accepted it as reality. We essentially have a bipartisan system with both parties set on the notion that it is a single-party system. How much longer?

As a result of the Nov. 2 election, Arizona Republicans have increased their majority in the State Legislature.

Republicans now outnumber Democrats in the Senate 21 to 9 and 40 to 20 in the House of Representatives. The Republicans also hold all major state offices, including governor, secretary of state, attorney general and state superintendent of public instruction. Democrats will be pretty useless over the next few years, and the Republican leadership won’t care one bit what the other side of the aisle has to say. The unpredictable, “purple” Arizona that only three years ago had a Democratic governor can now be colored in the boldest shade of red.

So what can we expect from the new leadership? More budget cuts, tax increases, and all-out nuttiness.

Last week, Republicans in the Senate selected their new president. Whom did they choose? None other than Sen. Russell Pearce, the tough-talking sponsor of Arizona’s controversial immigration law, S.B. 1070, known for getting his way and for his inability to compromise. Pearce says the chamber will be known as the “Tea Party Senate,” reflecting his will to “take a bottom-up approach that listens to the people’s will on fiscal accountability issues and not follow mandates from the Republican National Committee.”

This sounds nice; after all, who doesn’t like a bottom-up approach that listens to the people’s will? However, somebody should tell the “Tea Party Senate’s president-elect”

that most Arizonans don’t like cutting popular programs to solve the current budgetary mess, something the Republican caucus inevitably plans to do.

In last week’s election, voters rejected Propositions 301 and 302, which would have taken funding away from early childhood health and development programs as well as a land conservation fund, in order to help close the gap in the state’s budget. Also, earlier this year, Arizonans voted for a tax increase in order to aid the state’s struggling education system. However, none of this matters to the members of the Legislature, as they will continue to believe that cutting the budget is the only way to solve the current mess. They will continue cutting education (especially funding for universities), early childhood health care and other popular programs, all in the name of fiscal responsibility.

Pearce says the Legislature will trim the fat out of the state’s budget, eliminating government waste. However, isn’t that what the Legislature has been doing for the past two years? Any waste the legislators are able to find (if any) will surely be miniscule and have very little effect on the budget as a whole. All that’s really left to cut are popular programs like education and health care, as well as funding to vital state agencies, such as the office of the attorney general.

The Republicans are also looking to implement a flat tax on income, eliminating the state’s progressive tax system. This means that everyone will pay the same

tax rate, poor or rich. This of course will greatly benefit the wealthy, but will mean a tax increase for the lower and middle classes. The exact rate hasn’t been decided yet, but in order to be effective, it will have to be higher than the current rate set for lower and middle income families. In The Arizona Republic, Republican Sen. Frank Antenori equated the current progressive tax system to “class warfare.” However, I invite him to make that same argument to the families that will see their taxes increase. The progressive tax system isn’t meant to punish the wealthy, but a flat income tax rate will hurt someone making $25,000 a year much more than someone making $125,000 a year. The wealthy aren’t exactly hurting and don’t need added help from the Legislature.

The flat tax was defeated in previous years because it didn’t generate enough revenue for the state. Either the rate will have to be much higher than previous proposals, or state Republicans will only make the current budget worse. If taxes are going to be raised, it better be to raise revenue for the ailing state and to save vital programs instead of just to gain an ideological victory. More money for the wealthy may give them an incentive to spend more, but not nearly enough to fix our current budget.

With the flat tax and increased budget cuts, the next few years will certainly be interesting. University students can expect to pay even more in tuition, while receiving less. The state’s public education system will become even more of a joke, and the overall effectiveness of the state government will diminish drastically. If you thought the Legislature was crazy during the last session (remember guns in bars and the birther bill?) just wait and see what the next year brings. At least there will be plenty to write about.

Trouble brewing with ‘Tea Party Senate’

The UA, in partnership with the Tucson Unified School District, is piloting a program that would allow

intellectually handicapped students to get a full college experience, from taking classes to participating in campus life.

The program, Project FOCUS (Focusing Opportunities with Community and University Support) is part of a $2.5 million, five-year federal effort to help special education students pay for and adjust to college, according to a report in the Arizona Daily Star.

For many of these students, the program will mean the difference between a low-paying job in fast food and opportunities in fields like data-entry, which have much higher pay and may include benefits and job security. In addition, the social aspects of being on a college campus help those with intellectual disabilities build social and interpersonal skills, which further increase their employment opportunities.

The UA program is part of a growing effort on many campuses to integrate intellectually handicapped people into university life. According to The Associated Press, only four similar programs existed just eight years ago. Today, more than 250 campuses allow these students to enroll in

classes and provide them with extra help from tutors and mentors.

Of course, no such program comes without its detractors. Right-wing thinker Charlotte Allen voiced the concerns of many fiscally conservative skeptics when she told the AP she thought such programs undermined the true purpose of college, which is, she said, to earn a degree. “It may make intellectually disabled people feel better, but is that what college is supposed to be all about?” Allen said.

It’s easy, but inaccurate, to say that something is not useful when it doesn’t seem immediately useful. True, most of these students are not seeking a bachelor’s degree — the UA’s program is designed to provide just two years of classes, after which the students can decide what to pursue next. However, to dismiss such programs as wasteful is incredibly shortsighted.

In addition to offering an incredible opportunity to people who would otherwise have an almost impossible time seeking a university education, providing better life skills and job market training to intellectually handicapped people can only help the overall economy. Without such training, their choices are more or less limited to adult assisted living communities, living with family, accepting some kind of government-subsidized help or working for minimum wage or below at a low-skill job. None of these options contribute to a vibrant, healthy economy.

On the other hand, a better educated, more highly skilled and better-paid workforce contributes enormously to the overall health of the economy. Programs such as Project FOCUS help people become part of such a workforce, providing individuals with opportunities and enhancing the overall vitality of the economy. Dismissing such programs because of their cost now blindly ignores their payoff later. The UA and Tucson Unified School District deserve commendation for piloting such a project.

the business dean that would allow students to clear their records if they owned up to cheating before the rewritten exam started being administered Monday morning.

An investigation is under way to determine how stu-dents got their hands on the exam key in advance. All fac-ulty have been alerted about the apparent security breach, Quinn told students.

Someone anonymously dropped off a copy of the exam key at Quinn’s of� ce not long after the exam was given earlier this month. Some students also were starting to complain about classmates who were bragging about ac-ing the exam because they had copies of the exam key.

Quinn reviewed exam scores and discovered it is likely that one-third of the students in the strategic management course cheated. He decided not to cancel the course be-cause it would be unfair to students who did not cheat.

But he did toss the exam scores for everybody. Faculty members have rewritten the midterm — 200 questions — so the exam key for the original test is useless. The � nal exam still to be given has also been rewritten, Quinn told students.

Quinn was not immediately available for comment.“The days of being able to � nd a new way to cheat the

system are over,” Quinn told students. “This type of be-havior cannot, will not be tolerated.”

“It’s disappointing these actions took place,” UCF spokesman Grant Heston said of the apparent cheating, but the incident demonstrates policies in place to detect cheating are working.

UCF has testing labs that are monitored to deter cheating.

Thomas said the attorney gen-eral’s of� ce left a message on his of� ce voicemail Saturday morn-ing, telling him the hearing had been moved to Monday afternoon. He didn’t get the message until Monday morning.

Thomas said he is shocked and confused, saying he doesn’t know what could have happened between Friday afternoon, when the hearing began, and Saturday afternoon.

A message was left with the at-torney general’s office seeking comment.

“This smells political to me,” Thomas said.

He said Shirvell has received ex-cellent performance reviews from his bosses, and that his employers knew of Shirvell’s off-work activities.

“There’s been a tremendous piling on against Andrew. The liberal me-dia started this tempest in a teapot.”

“Andrew’s reaction is that he’s devastated over the loss of his em-ployment,” Thomas said.

Armstrong’s attorney, Deborah Gordon, issued a statement this af-ternoon in which she said the attor-ney general’s of� ce made the correct decision. Gordon and Armstrong have � led complaints with the Michigan Grievance Commission, asking it to investigate Shirvell and possibly disbar him.

“The next step must be a com-plete retraction of all the malicious lies and fabrications by Mr. Shirvell,

and a public apology to Chris Armstrong, his family and the oth-ers Mr. Shirvell has slandered.”

Gordon went on to say it’s time for Shirvell to realize there are con-sequences to his “reckless, outra-geous statements and actions and that he is solely responsible for those consequences.”

Until now, Shirvell has won bat-tles. Armstrong dropped a request for a personal protection order in Washtenaw court. The Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s of� ce de-clined to � le a stalking charge against Shirvell, saying that while Shirvell’s comments “are offensive and mean spirited,” they don’t meet the de� nition of harassment under Michigan’s stalking statute.

The University of Michigan also essentially lifted Shirvell’s ban from campus, allowing Shirvell on campus but requiring him to stay away from Armstrong.

The � ring was con� rmed in a statement Monday afternoon from Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, who said Shirvell was � red for conduct unbecoming a state em-ployee, especially that of an assis-tant attorney general.

“To be clear, I refuse to fire anyone for exercising their First Amendment rights, regardless of how popular or unpopular their positions might be. However, Shirvell repeatedly violated office policies, engaged in borderline

stalking behavior, and inappro-priately used state resources, our investigation showed.”

Among the examples cited by Cox in the statement:

• Showed up at the home of a private citizen three times, includ-ing once at 1:30 a.m. That inci-dent is especially telling because it clearly was about harassing Mr. Armstrong, not engaging in free speech.

• Further engaged in behavior that, while not perhaps suf� cient to charge criminal stalking, was harassing, uninvited and showed a pattern that was in the everyday sense, stalking.

• Harassing Armstrong’s friends as they were socializing in Ann Arbor;

• Numerous calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s of� ce, Armstrong’s employer, in an at-tempt to slander Armstrong — and ultimately attempting to cause Pelosi to � re Armstrong;

• Attempting to “out” Armstrong’s friends as homosex-ual, several of whom were not gay.

Cox said Shirvell engaged in his campaign against Shirvell on com-pany time and posted attacks on Armstrong on the Internet while at work.

“Finally, Shirvell lied to investi-gating assistant attorneys general on several occasions during his dis-ciplinary hearing.”

WASHINGTON — The battle over who will be the No. 2 leader of weakened House Democrats in the next Congress took on racial over-tones Monday as Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who is white, and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, who is black, battled for supporters.

Rep. Barbara Lee of California, who chairs the 41-member Congressional Black Caucus, told colleagues in a letter that it’s impor-tant to keep an African-American on the party’s House leadership team. Rep. Bobby Rush, an Illinois African-American, sent a separate letter backing Clyburn for the post.

Thirty House Democrats — none of them black — sent colleagues their own letter soliciting support for Hoyer, who has served in Congress for three decades.

The internal leadership contest be-tween Hoyer, a convivial lawmak-er from Maryland, and Clyburn, a South Carolinian who is the highest-ranking black member of Congress, was sparked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to seek the House minority leader job in the new Congress. Because her party will no

longer be in the majority in January, she’ll lose her speaker’s position.

“With our country and our party at a crossroads, it is important that we have a leadership team in place that recognizes the strength and di-versity of the Democratic caucus,” Lee wrote in her appeal for Clyburn.

“Steny Hoyer has an important role to play in defending the accom-plishments of this Congress, resist-ing Republican efforts that would weaken our middle class and re-building a Democratic majority,” the 30 lawmakers wrote in their letter.

The 30 Hoyer supporters include seven Hispanic members, among them Reps. Linda Sanchez, Joe Baca, Dennis Cardoza and Lucille Roybal-Allard of California, and Silvestre Reyes of Texas.

“You may � nd the politics of race dictates a lot of what happens,” Michael Franc, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington, said.

Hoyer formally declared his can-didacy for minority whip Monday in a letter to his House peers.

“I have been encouraged by the number of my fellow Democrats who have urged me to remain the second-ranking member of our leadership

team in the House,” he wrote.Denying Clyburn a leadership

post would offend many members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who will make up more than one-� fth of House Democrats in the next legislative session.

“It (would) send a bad signal to the country, especially leading into a presidential election where African-American turnout is im-portant to Democrats,” said Darrell West, a government analyst with the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington.

President Barack Obama will be heavily dependent on black voters in his 2012 re-election bid.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who headed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, suggested that the party might create a House post in order for Hoyer and Clyburn to both remain in the leadership.

“We’re going to look for a way to make sure that both these mem-bers can stay in the Democratic leadership,” Van Hollen told CNN on Sunday.

Clyburn defended Pelosi’s decision to remain the party’s top House leader over some Democratic

lawmakers’ protests that she’s too much of a target for Republicans as a San Francisco liberal — and that she shares some blame for the Republican election rout.

“My party feels that this had nothing to do with Nancy Pelosi’s

leadership,” Clyburn said of the voting returns that saw Republicans gain 60 House seats, with nine races still too close to call.

“It had everything to do with an economy that was close to collapse,” Clyburn said.

Egregious misspelling of curb?Two road signs in Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage

were vandalized with graffiti on Thursday at 9:29 a.m., a UA employee reported.

The employee called the University of Arizona Police Department first, but said another individual had al-ready reported the graffiti to Parking and Transportation Services at around the same time.

The graffiti read “KERB” in black marker, with a de-sign along it. The UA employee was not able to clean the graffiti off the signs so he had to replace both of them with new ones, each valued at $100.

Grinder? Oh, I though you meant my sandwichA student was arrested for possession of drug para-

phernalia on Friday at 12:30 a.m. A UAPD officer went to the student’s dorm room

that night at 11:52 p.m. after the resident assistant re-ported that he could smell marijuana coming from that room. The RA took the officer to the student’s room, where they talked. The student told the officer that he did not smoke any marijuana that night, though he had a grinder that he used for it.

The student pulled out a silver-colored grinder from his desk drawer and handed it to the officer. There was a leafy residue that resembled freshly cultivated marijuana inside of it.

The student gave the officer permission to search his side of the room, which he shared with another student. The officer found Zig-Zag rolling papers in the top drawer of his desk as well as several empty cans of Four Loko in his room.

The student was cited and released at the scene for possession of drug paraphernalia. The grinder and rolling papers were taken into property as evidence.

Of course it belonged to ‘some random guy’Two students were arrested for possession and use of

marijuana on Halloween at 8 p.m. An officer was on foot patrol near Highland Commons

when he noticed two men smoking as they sat in a far, concealed corner. As he approached the men, he smelled marijuana. The smell got stronger as he walked toward them. When the officer was about ten feet in front of the two, they quickly hid what they were smoking. The of-ficer approached the table and noticed a small wooden container. It resembled the marijuana containers he had seen in previous cases. He asked the men if he could see it, and they said yes.

The officer opened it and noticed there was an un-usable amount of marijuana on the inside of the con-tainer. It smelled strongly of the drug.

He also observed that the small “one hit pipe,” which is a smoking device usually kept inside this type of con-tainer, was missing. He asked the two men if they had it. One of them held it out to the officer, and the officer noticed marijuana residue on it. Both of the items were confiscated and submitted to UAPD as property and evidence. The pipe was sent away for testing to confirm that the resin was actually marijuana.

One man said that the wooden container belonged to “some random guy,” and did not provide a name or location for this person. The officer arrested the two men for possession and use of marijuana and para-phernalia and they were released at the scene.

Silver and green? Better off stolenA student reported that her bicycle was stolen from

the bike racks on the north side of the Physics and Atmospheric Sciences building on Thursday at about 11:07 p.m.

She told the police she had locked her bicycle to the racks that day at 5:30 p.m. and when she returned it was gone. Her bike is silver and green, but she said that since it was so old she did not have any record of a serial number.

When Arizona basketball forward Kevin Parrom entered the media room with team-mates Derrick Williams and Solomon Hill after their ex-hibition 70-59 victory against Augustana College on Sunday, he probably expected ques-tions about the team’s subpar showing.

Instead, Parrom was hit with more questions about his performance on concussion tests than his performance on the hardwood on Sunday.

Parrom suffered a concus-sion during preseason practic-es when he was hit with an el-bow by teammate Kyle Fogg, which resulted in his head hit-ting the floor and him missing more than half of the team’s practices.

During the post-game press conference on Sunday, Parrom was constantly asked about his lack of playing time over the last year due to injury. At one point a reporter asked

Parrom to tell him about the process of the concussion test. Parrom responded with, “Are you serious?” while grinning, appearing shocked and a lit-tle annoyed that so much at-tention was being paid to his injury.

Though Parrom may want everyone to move past his in-jury history, the reality is that since his arrival at Arizona, in-juries have delayed his growth as a player.

During his freshman sea-son, Parrom missed the first 10 games with a stress frac-ture in his left foot, then missed four games toward the end in the season with pain in the same foot.

“One thing in coaching Kevin (Parrom) that’s evident, is when you miss as much time as he did last year, he’s not as far along as the other guys in his class,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. ”He prob-ably missed 60 or 70 prac-tices last year and 10 so far this year.”

In Sunday’s game against

Augustana College, Parrom’s lack of practice time showed as he turned the ball over four times in only 13 minutes of play.

“I had a concussion two weeks ago and a week ago I started slowly getting back into practice, learning two po-sitions,” said Parrom after the game. “I just wanted to come out today and do the best that I could.”

Parrom spent the off-sea-son working on his body and doesn’t seem to be concerned with the fact that he has missed a lot time since com-ing to Arizona.

“I’m a basketball player, I work out and play every day so it’s nothing new to me,” he said. “I just tried to work on my body and my jump shot in the off-season.”

Parrom has a reputation as a hardnosed player that isn’t afraid to commit a hard foul. He solidified that reputation when he committed a hard foul on Arizona State’s Ty

The Arizona swim team de-feated the Wisconsin Badgers in their dual meet last Friday at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center with the winning scores of 187-74 for men and 158-104 for women.

On the women’s side, freshman Margo Geer continued to live up to her high expectations of be-ing a newcomer to watch out for. Being in the limelight isn’t foreign territory for Geer, who also stood out in her home state of Ohio. However, having a supportive team that pushes her is new for the swimmer.

“I came from a really small

swim team,” Geer said. “Actually, I was the only swimmer on my high school team, so I’m not real-ly used to having a team back me up all the time. So it’s been really nice to have that — a great experi-ence really.”

Fueled by her competitive na-ture and team’s support, each meet is important for Geer.

“We race hard every meet,” she said. “Every meet has just been a great opportunity, but we’ve been focusing on Texas.”

On Friday, Geer won three free-style events for Arizona: the 200 yard in 1:49.21, the 100 yard in 49.30 and the 50 yard in 22.75. All

Men’s golf wraps up fall schedule

The University of Arizona men’s golf team has had a disappointing and frustrating season, but they have one more chance to right its wrongs this week.

The team will compete in the Gifford Collegiate Championship which starts today and will con-tinue until Wednesday. This will be the last tournament the Wildcats will play in for the fall.

“We need to find more than one guy that can play a little bit,” head coach Rick LaRose said. We are looking for a couple of our young guys to step up a little bit.”

The coaching staff had to change the line up around with sopho-more Juan Pablo Hernandez out for this tournament. Hernandez was selected by Mexico to repre-sent the country in a tournament in Argentina. Hernandez will be replaced in the lineup by fresh-man Tye Beall.

“We have really high hopes for Tye, great young freshman player,” LaRose said.

LaRose also has high expectations for other players to perform as well.

“I need Erik Oja to take the les-sons he learned in his Orlando de-bacle and play a little bit better,” LaRose said. “We certainly have a lot of room for improvement but we are going to be ok. We are a little better then we have shown.”

The Orlando debacle that LaRose was referring to was the Isleworth Collegiate in which the team strug-gled and landed in last place.

“One or two bad swings just mul-tiply for us more than they should an we just can’t find a way to re-cover,” said assistant coach Andy Barnes. “Depth and inconsistency are definitely a part of it.”

Although the team has struggled all year LaRose does not think the team is down on themselves or lost any confidence.

After the Isleworth Collegiate senior captain Tarquin MacManus voiced his displeasure in how the season has gone so far.

“I think we are getting frustrat-ed,” MacManus said. “The more frustrated we get the more it’s prob-ably not going to work out.”

The Wildcats will have their hands full this weekend as they compete against three schools that are ranked in the top 20, includ-ing No. 1 UCLA and No.6 Augusta State. Augusta State is also the de-fending NCAA champion. The team is not giving this tournament any added appeal because it is it the end of their fall schedule.

“Every tournament is important to us,” LaRose said. “We certainly want to put a few W’s on the left side of the column. It’s a big tourna-ment. We can’t afford mistakes, you got to play good. If you want to play good you have to play the best and we are in search of excellence.”

Like most probably expected, head coach Mike Stoops had little explana-tion for his team’s performance in its 42-17 loss to Stanford on Saturday.

“I thought it was pretty accurate the other night. We just didn’t play well enough to win,” Stoops said. “We just got outplayed and out-executed across the board, and that was frustrating.”

While Arizona (7-2, 4-2 Pacific 10 Conference) has plenty to be proud of so far this season, the 60 minutes of football against the Cardinal were very concerning.

The 510 yards that Stanford totaled against the hapless Wildcats would indicate that Arizona wasn’t pre-pared, but according to Stoops that wasn’t the case.

“We knew it would be a tough match-up but overall we had a good week. We just couldn’t get the things done,” Stoops said. “Too many dropped balls, mis-takes, getting hit early wasn’t good, giv-ing up a big play early wasn’t good.”

To his credit, Stoops did not blame solely the players for mistakes on the field. He suggested the entire program was responsible for the loss and needs to move forward from it.

“It was a community effort. Coaches, players everybody kind of contributed to the loss,” Stoops said. “We need to bounce back, and we have before.”

On the bright side, Arizona escaped Saturday’s game without a major inju-ry. However, the physical nature of the Cardinal left a few Wildcats nicked up.

Running back Nic Grigsby and wide receiver Juron Criner both missed

snaps due to separate ankle injuries. Quarterback Nick Foles, despite being hit frequently, is said to be OK as well.

One injury note that surfaced shortly before the game was that Matt Scott’s wrist injury is much worse than coaches let on after the UCLA game. It turns out that Scott was hit on the wrist several times against the Bruins and has been wearing a brace since. He didn’t even dress for the Stanford game and isn’t expected to dress for this weekend’s matchup with USC either.

Stoops said Scott, who filled in for Foles by beating Washington and UCLA, is listed as week-to-week.

Sending an APB for Trevin WadeYou might recall seeing Arizona cor-

nerback Trevin Wade dominating Pac-10 receivers on a weekly basis in 2009, and you might even remember him being named to several preseason All-Pac-10 and All-American teams this summer as well.

Unfortunately, Wade hasn’t lived up to the hype this year, and Stoops isn’t quite sure why.

“It just hasn’t been a typical year for him,” Stoops said. “I don’t know. He hasn’t played like he’s capable of. He has to keep working at it. Sometimes you get in a slump and it’s hard to get out of. You have to work your way out of it and practice your way out of it. He just hasn’t had the production we’re used to seeing from him.”

Stoops appropriately said afterward that the poor performance of the sec-ondary isn’t Wade’s fault, but he said his technique needs improvement.

Freshman cornerback Shaquille Richardson will get a look at possibly starting should Wade continue to falter.

After outscoring their exhibi-tion opponents 199-118 in its � rst two contests , the Arizona wom-en’s basketball team will be able to bring a focus and momentum into its regular season opener on Friday in Kansas against the Wichita State Shockers .

As preseason practice wraps up, let’s preview what the Wildcats will look like as they kick-start their hopeful trek to the NCAA Tournament in March.

ForwardsWith the addition of new-

comers Erica Barnes and Taylor Dalrymple, Arizona superstar Ify Ibekwe doesn’t have to be such an anchor down low this sea-son. Barnes and Dalrymple have shown that strong post abilities in Arizona’s � rst two match-ups and will give Ibekwe the chance to stretch out to the wing to give opponents a taste of her outside shooting.

Shooting guardsIncumbent Paci� c 10 Conference

Freshman of the Year Davellyn Whyte came in with high expec-tations that she is already ex-ceeding . Her 28 points against Western State proved how good of a player she really is.

Perhaps more welcoming to Arizona staff this preseason has been the rise of junior Brooke Jackson , whose questionable shooting last year has been re-placed with smart shot selection.

The emergence of Jackson has given junior Reiko Thomas more time to recover from an ankle in-jury that has kept her out of the entire preseason. Jackson and Whyte have given Butts no reason

to rush Thomas onto the court.

Point guardsAttempting to replace the te-

nacity and leadership of Ashley Frazier was no easy task for Arizona, but newcomer Candice Warthen and redshirt freshman Shanita Arnold have given Butts con� dence that the position will be in good hands.

Arnold will most likely assume the starting role, and with good reason: her 22 points and 15 assists

against Western State gave her her � rst double-double at Arizona.

According to Butts, Warthen’s ability to run out of a camera frame will really give an ex-tra burst off the bench to the Wildcats’ performance on both sides of the ball.

Makayla and Jordan get a locker

The team of� cially welcomed three-year-old Makayla Smith and her sister Jordan to the Wildcat family by presenting them with their very own locker, complete with team jerseys in the women’s basketball locker room.

Makayla, who was diagnosed with a pediatric brain tumor in May 2009, and her family were brought to the team through the non-pro� t foundation Friends of Jaclyn, which connects pediatric brain cancer patients with local athletic teams for a second sup-port system.

Makayla and her family will be welcome at any event all sea-son and will be added support and inspiration for the team as a whole.

W-Hoops Notes

Sophomore trying to play smarter, remain tough

HOOPScontinued from page 7

Abbott on a breakaway, spurring the “No Easy Buckets” slogan he made popular amongst fans after a Twitter post.

Parrom has since said he wants to move on from the slogan be-cause it was the past and was heading in a negative direction.

“I mean, I still want to be a tough player, but I think it was just going into a negative aspect, coming into the games as a boxer,” said Parrom

during media day. “I still want to be a defensive-minded player.”

Parrom is healthy now, as he heads into the season opener, but a pre-season concussion raises the ques-tion of whether he’s an injury-prone player due to his aggressive play.

“I hope that it’s isolated, concus-sions aren’t something you see a lot in basketball. It’s just his head hit the � oor, it could have happened to any-body,” Miller said. “He is a physical

player but I’m hoping he can have a good streak of health here.”

Though Parrom wants to move past the discussion of his injuries and the “No Easy Buckets” slo-gan, just like his development as a player, it will take some time.

“I would say Kevin (Parrom) is a work in progress.” Miller said. “I’m hopeful in couple weeks he can show even more progress as he catches on.”

three times are considered to be NCAA “B” cut times.

Moreover, she rounded out the 200 free relay team that also won their event.

Regardless of her notable performances, Geer stays modest and admits to hav-ing faults. She’s constantly trying to improve her form.

“We actually started working on my starts and my turns for sprinting,” Geer said. “We’ve been working on that a lot since I’ve gotten here, and they’ve already improved.”

Another swimmer who made NCAA consideration times was captain Alyssa Anderson. The junior won the 500- and 1,000-yard free-style races for the women, and the 400-yard I.M. Her finishing time of 4.48.74 in the 500y is also NCAA-worthy.

For the men’s team, the Wildcats’ didn’t even let the

Badgers’ get past a hundred points thanks to strong per-formances by junior cap-tain Cory Chitwood, soph-omore Carl Mickelson and freshman Matt Barber.

Chitwood won two events and contributed to a medley win. He won his national title race, the 200-yard backstroke, in 1:48.10, and the 200y freestyle in 1:40.19. Additionally, he was the leadoff leg for the 400y-medley relay win.

Both Mickelson and Barber also had two indi-vidual race wins.

Mickelson dominated the breaststroke events by win-ning both the 100y and 200y with times of 56.24 and 2:01.53, respectively.

While Mickelson handled the breaststroke, Barber took control of the freestyle events, winning both the 500y free in 4:37.40 and the 1,000y free in 9:35.10.

Head coach Frank Busch’s prediction of the Wisconsin women’s team being a greater power than the men’s was sound. The proof was in the scores.

“As a whole, we swam a lot better,” Busch said. “All and all, I feel like we com-peted really well in both teams. This week is going to be a different story, we are going up against two really good teams, UCLA and USC.”

USC Diving InvitationalThe Arizona diving team

was in Los Angeles this past weekend to compete in the USC Diving Invitational.

By the end of the tour-nament on Saturday, five of the top eight finish-ers were Arizona div-ers, including Andres Guerra, Sean Clark, David Austin, Ainsley Oliver and Samantha Pickens.

SWIMcontinued from page 7

IRVING, Texas — Less than 10 months af-ter he was given a two-year contract extension, Wade Phillips is no lon-ger the Dallas Cowboys head coach, according to sources.

For the first time in team history, the Cowboys have made an in-season coaching change with owner and general manager Jerry Jones handing the in-terim job to their assis-tant head coach Jason Garrett.

Phillips’ job securi-ty has been a consistent question even after win-ning two NFC East ti-tles in three seasons but the Cowboys’ 1-7 start forced Jones to do some-thing he has never done before and consistent-ly said this season he would not do.

The last straw was the 45-7 loss Sunday night to the Green Bay Packers, in which the Cowboys rushed for 39 total yards, allowed 28 sec-ond-quarter points and turned the ball over four times. The Cowboys lost 35-17 to Jacksonville the week before at Cowboys Stadium. Phillips’ de-fense allowed Jaguars quarterback David Garrard to throw four touchdown passes, Maurice Jones-Drew to rush for 135 yards and wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker to gain 153 receiving yards.

The Cowboys entered 2010 with the hopes of being the first team to play in a Super Bowl in its own stadium only to

see dreams of a spot in Super Bowl XLV crash. The only team with a worse record than the Cowboys is winless Buffalo.

Phillips finished with a 34-22 record, but his time will be remem-bered more for what the Cowboys were unable to accomplish.

In 2007, the Cowboys finished with an NFC-best 13-3 record but were knocked out of the divisional round of the playoffs by the New York Giants, 21-17, at Texas Stadium. The Giants ended up winning the Super Bowl. In 2008, the Cowboys missed the playoffs altogether with a 9-7 mark that culmi-nated with a 44-6 embar-rassment at Philadelphia to close the regular season.

Last year the Cowboys rallied to finish 11-5 and ended their playoff-win drought with a 34-14

win against Philadelphia in the wild-card round, but they were crushed the following week by Minnesota, 34-3.

The Cowboys hired Phillips on Feb. 8, 2007 after an exhaustive search to replace Bill Parcells, who went 34-30 in his four years as coach. Phillips’ easy-going manner and suc-cess in running the 3-4 defense was viewed as the perfect antidote to Parcells’ strict regime.

It worked at first with the 13-3 start, but the Cowboys were among the most penalized team in the league during his tenure and could not cre-ate enough turnovers de-fensively. The Cowboys marked Phillips’ third full-time head coaching stops (Denver , Buffalo) and including two inter-im jobs (New Orleans, Atlanta), he has an 82-60 record but went just 1-5 in the postseason.

Wade Phillips fired as Cowboys head coach

Roger Mallison/Fort Worth Star-TelegramJerry Jones announced the firing of Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips at Valley Ranch in Irving, Texas, yesterday. The decision came af-ter the Cowboys fell to 1-7 through the first eight games of the season.

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily WildcatSenior Dana Christ swims to victory in Arizona women’s 158-104 win over Wisconsin on Friday. Both the men’s and women’s teams defeated the Badgers with ease in Arizona’s first traditional dual meet of the season.

One DQ chili cheese dog has 430 calories.

Can you imagine if some of the behaviors you engage innow continued after you graduated? Could you continue

to add up multiple sleepless nights exploring Fourth Avenue orrelishing house parties and still hold a meaningful job? How longwould your marriage last if you still enjoyed the youthful freedom to be continually sparked by the next cute thing who flits by? Whatwould your body be like if you are still eating excessive amounts oflate night chili cheese dogs at age 45? So... not a pretty picture!

There are incredible behaviors that you will participate in while atcollege. Actively engaging in knowledge and discussion, exploringidentity, celebrating diversity, new sensations and relationshipsare all part of a successful college experience. These behaviorsconstitute a college lifestyle that opens one up to being a life-longlearner. However, continuing to be a life-long, high-risk drinkerpresents greater chance for harm and serious consequences.

College students who are problem drinkers that use alcohol to cope with personal problems and boost self-confidence are morelikely to continue excessive drinking into adulthood. This is theresult found by senior author Ada Demb’s 2009 Ohio StateUniversity survey which suggests that adults who are still high-risk drinkers by age 34 may have inadvertently used alcohol as a crutch during college.

The good news is that high risk drinkers who stopped problemdrinking after college typically reduced their alcohol use while still in school. Most students learn that the best way to enjoy thebenefits of alcohol while minimizing undesirable outcomes is tomoderate how much they drink. This is a trend that is reflected in each ongoing year here at UA where a natural “maturing”process occurs.

Some behavior changes post-graduation are good.And, at some point, chili cheese dogs tend to give way to finer dining.

coaster ride of a season. The Bruins have proven they can beat teams like Texas and Oregon State, while falling to Stanford and Cal by a combined 70-7. Despite that inconsistency, they’re still better than ASU, Washington, and Wazzou.

8 ASU (4-5, 2-4 Pac-10)

The Sun Devils have endured a season full of what-ifs. Aside from a 33-point drubbing at the hands of Cal, ASU has lost four of its � ve games

by a combined 16 points, most recently a 34-33 loss to USC. The Sun Devils have surprised some people, nearly beating Wisconsin, and competing with Oregon, Oregon State and USC. But a loss is a loss and the Sun Devils still deserve to land at No. 8 in this week’s pow-er rankings.

9 WASHINGTON (3-6, 2-4 Pac-10)

It’s hard to say who’s been worse at living up to the expectations this sea-son: The Huskies or quarterback Jake Locker . The former projected No. 1

pick has been banged up and is currently out with a bro-ken rib, but he’s been a shell of the quarterback people expected him to be. And conversely, the Huskies have failed to live up to the hype. They’ve been blasted by Stanford, Arizona and Oregon, while beating Oregon State and USC by a combined two points. Despite the preseason belief, the Huskies are simply not very good.

10 W A S H I N G T O N STATE

(1-9, 0-7 Pac-10) The Cougars still have zero confer-

ence wins. But WSU has shown a few � ashes of improvement this season.

Quarterback Jeff Tuel was abysmal going 9-for-25 in a loss to Cal last weekend, but Wazzou has a potential to do the unthinkable and actually win a conference game this season. Bold prediction: the Cougars take their in-state rival Washington and win their � rst conference game since November 22, 2008. Who was Wazzou’s

Alamo Bowl . But it doesn’t get any easier for Arizona, with USC, Oregon and ASU on tap to close out the season.

4SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (6-3, 3-3 Pac-10) :

What’s more confusing than an uber-tal-ented team with nothing to play for? Enter the Trojans. USC has the talent to land at

No. 2 or No. 3 in the Pac-10, but its inconsistencies (hang-ing with Stanford but losing to Washington) leave the Trojans at a reasonable four-spot. That could easily change this weekend, however, when USC heads to Tucson to take on the Wildcats. They’re coming off of a 34-33 win over ASU and have the talent to bring even more disappoint-ment to the state of Arizona.

5 OREGON STATE (4-4, 3-2 Pac-10)

The Beavers are yet another Pac-10 team that’s dif� cult to gauge. One week Ryan Katz turns in a Heisman-like performance

in a win over Arizona, but a few games later the Beavers score only 14 in a loss to UCLA. Oregon State is still better than the conference bottom-feeders but lacks the consisten-cy to crack into the upper-echelon.

6CALIFORNIA(5-4, 3-3 Pac-10)

Cal has quickly proven they’re respectable at home and near embarrassing on the road. While they’re 4-0 at home, the Golden Bears

are 1-4 on the road. The Bears have 22 touchdowns at home compared to 10 scores on the road. Cal was able to pick up its � rst road win of the season last weekend with a 20-13 vic-tory over Washington State. But it’s Washington State, so that doesn’t say much. Cal is another Pac-10 team that’s tough to put your � nger on, but it should be a lot easier to gauge their caliber when they face No. 1 Oregon and No. 6 Stanford back-to-back in the coming weeks.

7 UCLA (4-5, 2-4 Pac-10)

Speaking of schizophrenic teams, UCLA and its pistol offense squeaked past Oregon State last weekend to continue its roller-

For the majority of the 2010 season, the Pacific 10 Conference hierarchy has been uncertain outside of frontrunner Oregon. But with another week of in-conference battles in the books and only a quarter of the season remaining for most, the Pac-10 peck-

ing order is finally taking shape. Here’s a look at this week’s Pac-10 power rankings:

1 NO. 1 OREGON(9-0, 6-0 Pac-10)

The Ducks are not only far and away the best team in the conference, but also the top squad in the nation. They’re racking up a ridiculous 54.67

points per contest, featuring an offense that’s college football’s version of the 2004-05 “Seven Seconds or Less” Phoenix Suns . They let Washington hang around momentarily last week before Darron Thomas and LaMichael James combined for six scores to step on the throats of the howling Huskies. With Cal, Arizona and Oregon State rounding out their 2010 campaign, the Ducks are well on their way to an undefeated season and a trip to the BCS National Championship.

2 NO. 6 STANFORD(8-1, 5-1 Pac-10)

Through eight games Stanford had yet to earn the title of Pac-10’s second best — until it embar-rassed Arizona in Stanford Stadium last Saturday.

The Cardinal and Andrew Luck dominated the Wildcats in every aspect of the game on their way to a 42-17 win that proved they are indeed the best one-loss team in America.

3 NO. 18 ARIZONA (7-2, 4-2 Pac-10)

While Stanford proved its worth on Saturday, the Wildcats showed they weren’t quite ready for primetime. They were thoroughly dominated, offensively and defensively, and those chants of

“Rose Bowl” that have broken huddles since training camp quick-ly faded. Although Arizona continued its streak of laying an egg in big games, it still remains the third-best team in the conference with a pair of bowl games to play for in the Holiday Bowl and
