After serving the UA and six presi-dents’ administrations for the past 24 years, Carla Nunn is retiring.

Nunn, the previous regents affairs program director and current Native American Affairs and Campus Inclusiveness program director, will leave her position today.

Nunn began her career at UA in 1987 in the astronomy department, working as an assistant to Peter Strittmatter in Steward Observatory before moving to the contracting office where she helped coordinate regents materials for meetings.

Nunn was later recruited to estab-lish the Office of Regents Affairs under the direction of former UA President Henry Koffler. There, she coordinated items to be submitted to the Arizona Board of Regents for approval and logistics for board meetings. She also provided staff support to the Council of Presidents.

Additionally, Nunn was a key player in the establishment of the P-20 Education Council of Southern Arizona during the administration of former UA President Manuel T. Pacheco. The council meets four times a year to discuss important

issues in the education system, and Nunn has been responsible for coor-dinating meeting agendas.

“I have been involved in the high-est level decision making at this uni-versity for a long time,” Nunn said. “It has taught me to have a real respect for the Office of the President because it’s ordinary people who have these huge jobs, and they have to really be confident in their decision making because no matter what decision they

make, someone is not happy.”Having been with the university for

almost a quarter century, no one is as surprised about the duration of Nunn’s tenure as Nunn herself.

“On my first day at the university, I would have never imagined that I would be here for that long,” she said.

Nunn is convinced that the com-bination of challenges and change is

The governing bodies of UA Greek Life are bringing their first Drug Awareness Week to campus from Monday to Friday next week.

The week, hosted by the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils, will feature a banner competition between sororities and fraternities on Monday. On Tuesday, there will be an execu-tive board meeting with repre-sentatives from Campus Health Service, University of Arizona Police Department and Greek Life discussing how to spot potential drug problems. The councils will host a speaker event for fresh-men and new Greek Life members about how to avoid drug use on Wednesday.

Additionally, members of Greek Life will sell bracelets for $4 on the UA Mall on Monday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to benefit the Wilson Forrester Scholarship Fund. The fund was set up in honor of Forrester, a pre-physiology sophomore and

Student mothers grapplewith additional challenges

With an education at hand and a child at the hip, student mothers must juggle classes, research, child care and work all at once.

For mothers and their families, the UA provides some helpful resources, but it fails to provide others.

Audrey Fitzsimmons, a journalism senior , typically begins her day between 4 and 5 a.m. She drops her 7-year-old daughter off at a neighbor’s house before going to her 6 a.m. United States Marine Corps training. Afterward , she retrieves her daughter, takes her home to get dressed and then takes her to school before heading to the UA for classes.

“It seems like my daughter and I are always rushing from one place to another,” she said.

To assist student mothers like Fitzsimmons, UA Life and Work Connections provides consultations,

referrals and financial support. It offers a hospice service for UA employees and students that provides an in-home doctor if their child should become unexpectedly sick. UA Life and Work Connections subsidize 87 percent of the cost of this service.

Additionally, the program provides subsidies and referrals for students seeking day care services.

“We can assist them in strategically navigating child care in Arizona,” said Caryn Jung , senior program coordinator for the Child Care and Family Resources program at UA Life and Work Connections .

The program and the UA, do not, however, provide any on-campus child care services. The UA is the only Pac-12 university that does not have an on-site day care facility .

“I think (campus day care) would encourage single moms to take a closer look at the university,” Fitzsimmons said. “It would be

convenient having my daughter right down the street.”

Year after year, different UA groups push to provide a child care facility

on campus. Diane Davis, chair of the Family Care Workgroup at the UA’s

Coronado canopy conundrum A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to

Coronado Residence Hall on Monday morning in response to a report of vandalism. The officer met with an employee of Lloyd Construction, the company providing construction services during the renovation of the residence hall. The employee said he noticed when he arrived in the morning that the word “Coronado” had been cut out of the north fab-ric canopy of the building. The officer searched the area and found another canopy that had “Coronado” cut out of it. The employee said the canopies had been intact on Sept. 30 when he left at 5 p.m. There is no video surveillance footage avail-able for the area. The officer photographed the damage and a victim’s rights form was mailed to the UA.

Welding machine stolenA UAPD officer went to facilities owned by the College of

Agriculture and Life Sciences at 3199 N. Freeway in response to a burglary on Monday. The officer spoke to one of the care-takers, who said someone had broken into the farms over the weekend. The person had destroyed the chain securing the main entrance to the area and the lock and chain that secured a surplus storage area. A Lincoln Ranger welding machine was stolen from the storage area. There were tire marks going into the area, but the rain had mostly washed them out. There were no other signs of forced entry. The officer photographed the damage and victim’s rights forms were mailed to the UA.

A magistrate-approved pissing pointA UAPD officer went to the Office of Study Abroad and Student

Exchange around 10 a.m. on Monday in response to a report of a man who had urinated behind the building. The officer spoke with an employee who said the man had left and was sitting by the University Services building. The officer located the man and a records check showed he had previously been warned by UAPD for sleeping in the stairwell of McClelland Hall. The study abroad employee identified the man as the one who had peed behind the office. The man admitted to peeing behind the building and said that, according to his “telemap,” the “area behind that address is a magistrate-approved pissing point” and he was legally allowed to piss there. The man was cited for being a criminal nuisance and was served with a 6-month exclusionary order from the UA. He was released at the scene and left campus.

Walk of shame turns uglyA UAPD officer responded to the Sixth Street Parking Garage at

1:20 a.m. on Sept. 16 in response to a report of several men fight-ing. A witness said a man was being beat up by a group of men. One of the men was described as shirtless. Police searched the area and found a man matching the description who was walking near Park Avenue with a pair of boxers in his hand. The man said he was on his way back to his room at Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall from a woman’s room on Highland Avenue. He said he had been having sex with the woman and that he left with only his pants on, which was why he was carrying his boxers. He said he was walking when a group of men were “talking shit” behind him. One of the men, whom he said he knew from Facebook, started fighting with him. He said he was only protecting himself. He did not wish to press charges. The man’s breath smelled strongly of alcohol and he had red, watery eyes. The man was cited and released at the scene for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Commission on the Status on Women, said the latest proposal was dropped once it reached former UA President Robert Shelton’s desk in early 2010. The cost of providing such a service could only be offset if the UA provided a space for the facility.

“It was too much of an expense to make it work,” she said.

Krista Millay, program director of the UA Women’s Resource Center, said an on-campus child care center is a “huge missing piece” in the UA community.

“A student who is a parent really has to carve out their own path through their college education,” Millay said. “(Child care) would be a huge advancement toward a more supportive college environment.”

To address the issue, Millay said there needs to be more awareness and more dialogue surrounding students and employees who double as parents.

“I don’t think that being a good employee and being a good parent have to be mutually exclusive,” she said.

Liu Chen, a graduate student studying chemistry, is pregnant with her first child. Chen said day care costs $200 per week

for children under the age of 1, and she cannot afford it.

“We will manage,” she said, adding that once her baby is born she plans to take Mondays and Tuesdays off and work from home.

Although Chen has finished her coursework, she said she is on campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. five days a week conducting research. She will have to make many adjustments, she said, and when her child is born, tasks that would typically take only one week could take up three.

“I think they should have (on-site) day care for undergraduate and graduate students,” Chen said. “I need help.”

what made her stay. “There were always additional assign-

ments like the P-20 council, and helping with presidential searches … it just was a lot of variety, it was challenging, and I enjoyed it.”

Nunn said the best part about her time at the university has been the colleagues she worked with, and knowing that stu-dents were benefitting from her work.

“Even though I didn’t have a lot of inter-action with the students, that’s what we’re here for,” Nunn said. “It was always nice to come out and see young people, walk-ing around, bright-eyed, with their futures ahead of them. It’s very inspiring, and it’s a beautiful place to work.”

Many of the people who have worked with Nunn said the feeling is mutual.

Linda Stapleton, executive assistant to the president, worked closely with Nunn for a number of years.

“She was very dedicated to her work,” Stapleton said. “She cultivated really good work relationships, and respected every-one’s contributions.”

Stapleton also said she admired Nunn’s tendency to never take herself too serious-ly, and that she served as a role model for dedication, thoroughness and accuracy.

Former UA President Robert Shelton said that Nunn was always on point,

providing him with essential materials for regents meetings. He said she was a very reliable and professional person to have on his team with an excellent sense of priorities and a passion for the university.

Shelton added that the UA is losing someone with “good people-to-people experience.”

Peter Likins, who was UA president from 1997 to 2006, said he remembers Nunn’s hard work and dedication.

“She took responsibility for projects that were directly the president’s responsibil-ity,” Likins said. “She went way above and beyond the call of duty, doing not only everything I asked of her, but a great deal more than I asked of her. I was always impressed with her intellect, her humor and her integrity. She really was a very powerful asset in the president’s office all during my nine years there.”

Edith Auslander served as vice presi-dent, as well as senior assistant to Shelton from 2003 to 2008, and worked extensively with Nunn. Auslander said she remembers Nunn’s work with the regents, and her abil-ity to establish good work relationships.

“She was always very helpful working with the board and coordinating activi-ties,” Auslander said. “I found her to be quite an extraordinary people person.”

Auslander also commented on how well Nunn represented the university.

“It made us proud to have her out there as a representative working with people to make decisions that affect all the

universities.”Ombuds Program Director Claudia

D’Albini worked with Nunn for the past 15 years, and said she admires Nunn’s optimism.

“She’s one of the most thoughtful and inclusive people I’ve ever worked with,” D’Albini said. “She always sees anoth-er perspective, and focuses on positives instead of negatives.”

D’Albini and Nunn also worked togeth-er to develop the Ask Me project, which distributes information early in the fall semester to help incoming students navigate the UA’s systems and processes. D’Albini said the project’s success relied largely on Nunn’s participation.

“The program continues today, and I think that’s a huge testament to Carla,” she said.

With Nunn’s departure, the universi-ty will have to find someone else to fill the position. While many have said that Nunn’s professionalism and dedication are unmatchable, several people also have said they believe the university will find someone suitable to take the spot.

“That kind of experience is always hard to replace, but I’m sure the university will find someone just as great as Carla,” Shelton said.

The lasting qualities that will stay with most of Nunn’s colleagues are not profes-sional, but personal.

“Things go on,” D’Albini said. “But I’ll miss that special touch.”

“It’s important to honor not only Wilson, but everyone affected by drug abuse,” said Jessica Hermann, president of the Panhellenic Council. “With the drug culture, we really need to take this head on and fight back to help save lives.”

A candlelight vigil to honor Forrester will be held Friday at the Old Main Fountain from 6 to 8 p.m. Wilson’s father, Chip Forrester, will speak at the vigil. There will also be an open microphone there for anyone

who desires to share how drug use has affected them.

Hermann said the governing bodies of Greek Life decided to create Drug Awareness Week because they already have awareness weeks for issues such as alcohol and hazing.

“The drug culture on this campus is very prominent, and it’s more than most people realize. We want to help people keep the community safe,” she added.

Michael Colletti, president of the Interfraternity Council, said Greek Life hopes to continue Drug Awareness Week in future years.

“If we can save one life, it’s worth it,” added Ryan Kreais, vice president of programming for the council.

WASHINGTON — A sun-soaked noon rally within blocks of the White House brought out hun-dreds of protesters Thursday to mark the 10th anniversary of the Afghanistan War.

On Freedom Square, sign-carrying demonstrators banged drums, sang and cheered a series of fiery speeches by anti-war activists, who decried the federal government’s continued funding of the Afghan and Iraqi wars while calling for cuts to social pro-grams for the elderly, poor and peo-ple with disabilities.

Planning for the rally began six months ago, but the event’s timing dovetailed perfectly with nationwide protests in support of the ongoing Occupy Wall Street demonstration in New York. There were similar protests against income inequal-ity and perceived corporate profi-teering Thursday in Austin, Texas, Sacramento, Calif., Houston and other cities.

During a morning news con-ference, President Barack Obama said little about the Afghan War entering its 11th year, but he did give a shout-out to the growing wave of protests.

“I think people are frustrated and,

you know, the protesters are giving voice to a more broad-based frustra-tion about how our financial system works,” he said.

That sentiment was shared by a protester who identified herself only as Andrea E., a single mother of two who is facing foreclosure on her home in the Philadelphia area.

She said a divorce and a loss of hours on her waitressing job made it impossible to keep up with her mort-gage. Her bank lowered her monthly payments while it considered a loan modification. Ultimately, however, it refused to do so and demanded that she pay the past-due amount, about $4,000.

“I refuse to give them another dime until they modify my mortgage,” she said, arguing that she was never late with a payment. After attending the Wall Street rally in New York, Andrea, 34, said she’s hoping for a “peaceful revolution” in which corporations — such as her bank — grow hearts.

“I’m sure that’s not going to hap-pen anytime soon, but I hope it does,” she said. “We need the middle class to be back where it should be and not dwindling away like it is.”

Bo Considine, a 60-year-old busi-ness analyst from Maryland, took the day off to join the Washington protest.

Considine said he was upset that the tax system treated corporate profits more favorably than it did income from labor. And in a reference to the Tea Party movement, Considine said

he was tired of watching the squeaky wheels get all the grease.

“I can’t put up with having my voice shouted down anymore and having those people who behave

most aggressively and uncompromis-ingly set and maintain the agenda. I feel like this is the beginning of the silent majority finally saying enough is enough,” Considine said.

ISLAMABAD — A Pakistani doc-tor who helped the CIA track Osama bin Laden before U.S. special forces killed the terrorist leader should be charged with treason, the official Pakistani inquiry into bin Laden’s presence in the country recom-mended Thursday.

The inquiry’s judgment on Shakeel Afridi probably will infuriate U.S. offi-cials, who consider him a hero. If he’s convicted, Afridi could be sentenced to death.

Earlier this year, McClatchy Newspapers revealed that Afridi had been secretly recruited by the CIA to help verify that bin Laden was living in a walled compound in the city of Abbottabad, a two-hour drive north of the capital, Islamabad. Afridi orga-nized an elaborate sham immuniza-tion campaign that sent health work-ers to the compound in hopes of taking DNA samples.

The effort apparently failed to gather any evidence that proved bin Laden’s presence, and the CIA was

a rally within blocks of the White House brought out several thousand protesters to mark the 10th anniversary of the afghanistan War on thursday at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.c.

Pakistani panel endorses treason charges for doctor never certain that the al-Qaida lead-er was there, even when President Barack Obama decided to mount the raid.

Agents of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate spy agency arrested Afridi, a senior health official working for an arm of the Pakistani government, three weeks after the May 2 Abbottabad raid. He’s been in custody ever since amid allegations that he’s been severely tortured.

Washington has been pressing

Islamabad to release him so that he and his family can be resettled in the U.S., but Thursday’s recom-mendation appears to make that highly unlikely.

The Pakistani inquiry also called for bin Laden’s wives and children to be sent back to their home coun-tries. The U.S. special forces raid that found and killed the al-Qaida chief left behind three wives and several children who lived with him.

Islamabad and Washington are already in a tense diplomatic stand-

off, centered on U.S. allegations that Pakistan is supporting insur-gent groups in Afghanistan, while Pakistan is angry about the unilateral American operation to get bin Laden.

Obama said Thursday at a news conference in Washington that Pakistan was in touch with “unsavory characters” in Afghanistan, a refer-ence to the Taliban and their allies. Some also accuse Pakistan of hiding bin Laden, though U.S. officials have said repeatedly that there’s no evi-dence of that.

Lose the lanyard, your freshman is showing

3

Freshman year is a time for partying, “finding yourself” and skipping classes because it’s cool. It’s also a prime time for bad fashion choices. So if you’re trying to hide your “froshdom” from the upperclassmen, be sure to avoid these telltale freshman faux pas:

The lanyard A lanyard is the perfect solution

for those of us who lose our keys too often or want to rep our favorite sports team or school. Plus, this trendy way of carrying keys is cheap and convenient. But wearing your lanyard around your neck, keys dangling, is not cool. We get it: You can drive, you don’t live with your parents and you love the Yankees. Just please keep your lanyard in your pocket.

The high school class ring

Ever wonder why they target sophomores rather than seniors to buy class rings? Because seniors know better than to waste their money on these pointless commemorations whereas sophomores don’t know any better and still think they are cool. But if you didn’t get the memo then, you definitely shouldn’t still be

wearing a class ring from high school once you’ve graduated to college. There’s nothing fashionable about them, and frankly, they make you look nerdy. (If you think the shirt that came in that package deal might be a better option, just wait. I’ll get there.)

The Ugg boots and jean skirt

I’m sure we all remember when this trend became popular four or five years ago. But I’ve never understood it. If it’s cold enough to wear Uggs, shouldn’t it be too cold to wear a miniskirt? Not only do these chunky boots look awkward with such a tightly-fitted bottom, but come on. Don’t risk pneumonia in order to look, dare I say, “cute.”

The “senior” T-shirtsIn high school, if you don’t buy all

five different senior shirts, plus

the senior sweatshirt and senior jersey, you are

shunned. So you spring for all the

senior wear. Then, you wear each article a total of three times during the year and are left with a bunch of pointless senior shirts. They hang there, lone pieces in the corner of your closet, and you are left with the decision of throwing them out or wearing them even though high school is over. Well, I’ll make that choice easy: Throw them out.

The Hollister and Abercrombie tees

This type of label whoring is like a disease. There’s nothing more unattractive than a giant label across your chest, especially one that’s not worth wearing in the first place. I remember a time when I refused to wear anything without “Hollister” plastered all over it. But we’re in college now, and times have changed.

The “Is there a face under there?” makeup job

We can see that the rest of your body doesn’t match your face, so it’s time to realize bronzer is not a solution to your paleness. Plus, all that eyeliner doesn’t make your eyes stand out — it hides them, and the eye shadow that matches the color of your shirt makes you look like a clown in training. I understand the need to freshen up your look when you’re feeling tired, but stop painting your face. Natural beauty trumps fake beauty any day.

Sometimes all a gamer wants to do is outsmart someone, and other times they just want a

game that lasts. That’s where Games Workshop comes in with two of the most time-consuming and mentally rewarding games on the market: “Warhammer Fantasy Battle” and “Warhammer 40000 .”

Both fall under the category of tabletop war game. To those unaware of the term, a tabletop war game pitches two armies of miniature figures in a battle together with various objectives — usually the point is to kill the enemy’s entire force.

What really makes it shine, though, is how much time the hobby takes up.

To start, a player has to choose between the more sword and sorcery style of “Fantasy Battle” or the futuristic running and gunning of “40000.” After that, there are at least 14 unique armies for a player to pick from, each with its own play style and strategy.

Within each army, a player has to decide which among the many diverse units to field, and in what amount. Each unit costs a set amount of points and opponents agree on a maximum value before a battle.

With that all squared away, a player has to physically build up their army. This appeals to the crafty gamers, but it’s something anyone can do.

Each unit comes with simple directions and the hardest part is holding certain parts together while the super glue dries. It’s a relaxing outlet though, and can be a good way to spend an afternoon.

From there a player needs to prime and paint their miniatures, a process which does have a learning curve. Many of the models are small and the details are fine, but with some practice it becomes pretty easy. This is fit preparation for the high-stress situation of the battle itself. What’s even better is that one can paint their armies with any color scheme they desire. Some look better than others, but it’s a great way to make the army your own.

Once all that’s finished, you’re ready to actually test your skills as a

general. Now, bear in mind you can play casually whenever the models are built, but to actually play in tournaments — and win money — the army needs to be done.

Regardless, the biggest draw of Warhammer is the battle aspect. Learning the rules seems pretty daunting at first, but there’s a pretty easy to understand rulebook that can do the job. If you don’t want that, you can learn from more experienced players who, in my experience, are always happy to help out newbies.

To put it simply though, the units all have their own line of statistics that are used to determine their strengths and weaknesses.

Each also has a movement value, in inches, and players take turns maneuvering their armies around a large board. Eventually the units come into contact in either a physical battle or a ranged one using weapons and magic, and then

they fight. Dice rolls determine how many models die. The important thing to remember here is all the strategy involved. There’s far more to it than the luck of the roll, and one can employ the same strategies that actual generals might use to win a battle.

Playing Warhammer, and being good at it, really gives you a sense of accomplishment and helps you look at other games — or even real life situations — in a much more critical way. Plus, for the egotistical gamer, becoming a triumphant general is quite an ego boost. But no matter what you play it for, remember to have fun and if you want to get local, try Hat’s Games at 3921 E. 29th St., Suite 311 here in Tucson. See you on the (mini)battle field, my fellow gamers.

This might sound unbelievable, but it’s true: I know a significant number of bros (myself included) who are fans of Taylor Swift. I don’t offer disclaimers to friends going through my iPod, and I have definitely been caught at stoplights singing along to “Mine” loudly.

Of course, it’s not something we’d admit publicly on Facebook. We won’t be found among the throngs of preteens at her shows and the majority of us don’t own any merchandise — but we’ll be damned if we don’t know “Mean” by heart. And there’s no need to be ashamed of it, because there are many acceptable reasons why we bros love T-Swift.

Musician bros: She writes her own music. There’s no magic curtain with this girl — her material is all her own and all original. Sure, she may need a co-writer on a song here or there, but find me any budding Nashville starlet that says she’s 100 percent her own songwriter and I’ll show you a liar.

Fraternity bros: Serenade material. Nothing screams “Homecoming” like “Our Song” in three part vocal harmony. I need say no more. Plus, have you seen the girl? Not only does she have the voice of

a baby angel, but she’s like 17 feet of legs and blond hair, coupled with a great sense of humor. (Don’t believe me? Check out her rapping on her Youtube channel.)

Closeted romantic bros: Girls love Taylor. We like girls. Therefore, we love Taylor. Admitting that you like Taylor Swift to a girl not only shows her you’re sensitive, but is also an easy way to strike up a conversation. Not only is this a less emasculating way of keeping up with Taylor’s boy drama (in lieu of gossip magazines) but we also learn to hate the kind of guys Taylor tends to date; Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and John Mayer (who was already kind of a tool to begin with) and try not to be like them.

Besides, realizing you and your new female friend both interpreted “Back To December” the same way can be a fantastic icebreaker.

So what have we learned? Taylor’s like pizza. Cold or fresh out of the oven, she’s still great. The level of adoration she’s received in such a short period garners her a Marilyn Monroe- level of affability, that classic face for marketing campaigns of all variations and a true set of pop sensibilities that is a rare element in the modern music industry.

So Bromeo, don’t be ashamed. T-Swift is a damn fine Juliet.

Sony to shake future of video games , 3D

As anyone who passed in front of Old Main might have noticed, Sony has been on campus all week showing off its latest technological innovations while offering students a unique opportunity to apply for internships.

In the beginning of the week, the tents at the west end of the UA Mall had six kiosks with Playstation 3D displays set up for anyone to try. People could go over and play games that used Sony’s brand of 3D technology.

When compared to 3D movies or Nintendo’s latest portable gaming device, the 3DS, Playstation 3D is of equal or better quality. The subtler effects make the picture quality painless to look at but still deeply complex, and continue to prove 3D is just better with glasses,

making the glasses-free 3DS look unpolished.

Jack Tretton, CEO and president of Sony Computer Entertainment America, is certainly proud of the Playstation 3’s 3D capabilities.

“We’re constantly evolving our platforms and our technology,” Tretton said. “I think 3D is a big milestone, and I likened it to when the first Playstation was introduced and you really had 3D graphics and more immersive gameplay than prior to the Playstation.”

Bearing that in mind, it does make Sony the constant innovator of the graphics and immersion department of gaming. Its platform was the first to effectively step away from the traditional 2D graphics and introduce the polygon style that became prevalent in the mid-‘90s.

3D is all well and good, but Sony

had something far more impressive to show that many students didn’t even realize existed : It’s something they call SimulView, and it will change the way multiplayer games work completely.

“It’s just the frustration of a lot of two player games, and really trying to do it right with someone

staring at all your moves,” Tretton said of SimulView. “The great thing about SimulView is, while you’re not taking advantage of 3D, you’re getting two full screens out of one monitor.”

That’s right, no longer will gamers have to split a screen in half for multiplayer. With SimulView, the images of both players’ gameplay are layered over each other in a way that allows you to see just one or the other. To use it, one has to have the Playstation 3D glasses and a special 3D display, but it’s an astounding concept, and well executed — at least when the sun isn’t casting a glare on the entire screen.

The one drawback, and it’s a very minor one, is that SimulView only works in 2D (but it’s only a matter of time before that problem is solved, as well).

As far as getting all the necessities, Sony is making that easy for you too. Later in the fall, the company will release a bundle which includes a 24” LCD, 1080p, 3D capable television, a pair of 3D glasses , an HDMI cable and a copy of Sony’s big new game “Resistance 3” on Blu-ray disc, all for $499.99.

With all this to offer gamers, Sony is going to come out swinging in the holiday season. The only problem that remains, according to Tretton, is getting developers to utilize the technology in new games.

“It’s chicken and egg,” Tretton said. “We need to grow the install base of the monitor to excite the developing community to do SimulView games and we need SimulView games to drive the adoption of the monitor.”

Racism is still aliveIn response to “Playing race card is a cheap trick” (Oct. 4):

I was shocked and offended when I read your article entitled “Playing race card is a cheap trick.” You state that we, as a country, have made great strides in eradicating racism. Maybe I’m reading too much into this line, but it seems that you think that all racism has ended as opposed to saying great strides towards eradicating racism (sic). This is problematic for several reasons. While racism is no longer “legal” and our human rights are “protected,” there is still covert and passive racism that is thriving more than ever in our country’s history. For example, the inequalities present in our prison system. African-Americans are greatly over represented in the U.S. prison system. 2,531 out of every 100,000 are incarcerated compared to 957 out of 100,000 for Latinos and 393 out of every 100,000 for whites (2004 Census Data). The same inequalities are present throughout any institution in the U.S. Another example (is) the educational system. Even with poverty and other socioeconomic factors considered, race and ethnicity still remain the most significant factors in placing children in special education (www.law.hardvard.edu/civilrights).

Garofalo is not playing the blame game, she is speaking the truth. And sometimes the truth hurts. The Tea Party has been known to have extreme blatantly racist posters and signs at their rallies referring to (President Barack) Obama as a monkey (anyone with the slightest intelligence would know the history of calling African-Americans monkeys or apes), and Rick Perry also holds part ownership of a ranch called “N-word Head.” If this isn’t the conservative party being blatantly racist, then I don’t know what is. Not to even mention the passive racism that is able to slide under the radar by people who take on a colorblind mentality.

I am saddened that in our school newspaper someone would try to minimize racist acts that continue to happen and then try to blame the victims for actually pointing it out in an attempt to be anti-racist. I hope that other people who read the article will continue to think critically about the racial disparities that are still present in our country, otherwise, there is no room for improvement.

In response to “Nobody owes you a thing” (Oct. 3):

Social contract includes obligation to help one another

You have it backwards. When you get down to it, government is really nothing more than a symbol for a group of people accomplishing together, what they cannot alone. It’s not that I feel entitled to certain benefits. But as Elizabeth Warren noted, being a citizen implies a social contract. If you are fortunate, some of that fortune gets passed on to help others. It’s one of my obligations as a citizen, and yours. A nation that would let one of its own die through inaction has no business calling itself the greatest country on Earth. The “I got mine, you get yours” mentality is better suited to animals. Specifically, rats on a sinking ship.

In response to “Playing race card is a cheap trick” (Oct. 4):

Racism not apparent at Tea Party meetingsOut of curiosity, last week I attended a

local Tea Party meeting. What I saw there were crowds of people who supported lower taxes and less government spending. They seemed very supportive of Mr. Cain, an African-American candidate, which I took for an odd attitude for those labeled “racist” by so many others. Of course, perhaps Ms. Garofalo’s explanation makes sense, but not to me.

With the release of the iPhone 4S just around the corner and the

announcement that Apple has sold 250 million iOS devices, Apple Inc. is unstoppable. Apple has completely revolutionized the way students operate and communicate in and out of the classroom. There are students walking on the UA Mall talking on their iPhone or sitting at the Student Union Memorial Center on their Macbook. Nowadays, most students have some type of Apple product in their possession, no matter if it’s pod or pad. With our generation it all started with the iPod, which led to the Macbook, and to the iPhone. In comparison to its competitors,

Apple has set itself apart with its innovative and user-friendly designs.

It’s been almost a year and a half since the release of the first iPad. Many critics commented that the iPad was just “a big iTouch.” But today, the iPad is the top selling tablet in the world. Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung, Blackberry, HTC, Acer, Motorola, Vizio, Archos and View Sonic are a few companies that have all tried to imitate the now famous iPad. Although, Samsung has tried putting its own twist by making its tablet more compact for easy use and travel, these small variations have not been able to compete with the look and qualities of Apple. Apple remains dominant.

Last year, Android came out

with Droid Incredible and at first glance you could easily mistake it for an iPhone. Again though, the iPhone still receives higher scores in customer satisfaction in comparison to their wannabe “knockoffs.”

In the field of computers however, there still the whole debate over Mac vs. PC. According to Hunch, PC still outnumbers Mac when it comes to users. It’s reported that 89.2 percent of respondents use PC while only 10.8 percent are using Mac. Researchers from Hunch concluded that a higher percentage of Mac users are college educated, which can explain the large number of Mac users on college campuses. From the study, Mac users are “22 percent more likely than PC users to be between the ages 18-34.” Although, PC dominates Mac in computer users, this may change due to Apple’s significant role as the trendsetter in technology for our younger tech-savvy generation.

Apple is “in” and our generation will continue to follow

and purchase its products. The Apple worm has bitten many of us and, as an Apple user, it is difficult to picture myself using other products. What is it about Apple that makes it so appealing? Maybe it’s the fact that it is constantly changing and updating its products to benefit its users. In comparison to other companies, Apple seems to be habitually a step ahead of its competitors.

While it may have suffered the irreplaceable loss of Steve Jobs, Apple is here to stay and will continue to grow. Throughout the years, Apple has set itself apart as an iconic and hip brand. The world of personal electronic devices has been completely changed by Apple and the brand is inescapable. Apple is the future, ever changing, and has brought accessibility to our fingertips. Today, the iPhone 4S, tomorrow the iPhone 40.

The Daily Utah Chronicle Utah

A bachelor’s degree is the new high school diploma. Upon graduation, students find themselves in a vast sea of peers with the same credentials. During school, concepts learned in classes often go through the cycle of being memorized, then cleared from the brain bank after exams. The true value of education seems a bit fuzzy. Lo and behold, students have an option to retain principles that are taught, build a stellar résumé, serve the surrounding community and build memories and relationships that come from outside dorm life and football games. This comes through two artfully combined words: service-learning …Through working with applicable organizations, service-learning courses give students a way to apply coursework, while learning the concepts directly and immediately. Unlike many modes of learning by which concepts are to be applied after graduation, service-learning courses provide instant gratification … Discover how to use your major to build community through service-learning.

Freedom of speech is the reason why there are numerous different news stations, the reason why opposing viewpoints are permitted in this country. But freedom of speech is also the reason why independent research is often necessary to understand current events, and the reason why you can’t trust every piece of information that gets posted on the internet … Last week, a satirical newspaper, the Onion, sparked a panic in Washington, leaving some to ponder that question. The article, in breaking news fashion, spoofed the American Congress, joking that Republican Party members had taken civilian children hostage at gunpoint to use as mules in political negotiations. Despite the fact that the Onion is widely known for satirizing current events, the article was taken literally, leading to a major fiasco on Capitol Hill … This controversy should not be focused on whether or not the Onion went past the limits of free speech. It should be focused on the responsibility of Americans to be informed and be wary of their news sources.

The Daily Bruin UCLA

On their editorial page, the Wall Street Journal refers to the Occupy Wall Street movement as a “collection of ne’er-do-wells raging against Wall Street, or something.” Since Sept. 17, a growing coalition of unemployed college graduates, out-of-luck youth and activists have occupied Manhattan’s financial district. Although criticized for a lack of a singularly coherent message, the refusal to do so is to refuse the very validation of the corrupt system they are opposing. … As students, our futures have been mortgaged away, and not by any means to the highest bidder, but to the bidder with the most “credit.” We did everything right, after all. We went to college, worked hard and yet after graduation we can merely stare gawk-eyed and helpless at our foreordained situation: an inexcusable mound of debt with no job or future to appease the pain. It is a mistake to write off the movement as insignificant so quickly before measuring its success. It could have the potential to represent and inspire people with similar frustrations.

PULSE OF THE PACThis week we’ve offered our take on discrimination in immigration laws, the

jurisdiction of rape on our campus and the hidden potential in a possible double-dip recession. Meanwhile, the rest of the Pac-12 has been pondering

the importance of service learning to boost a resume and job readiness, what happens when we take free speech too literally and the credibility of those

occupying Wall Street. Take a look at what the Pac-12 has to say:

Did you know that today (Thursday) marks the anniversary of LSD’s illegality?No.

Neither did I. So what do you think of its status? Should it be illegal?Yes.

Why’s that?It’s a dangerous drug, and I have friends that used it and bad things came from it.

Did their hair fall out, or did they lose their genitals or something?

No, they were stupid enough to drive and caused car accidents and it was along that line … getting in fights with friends, stuff like that.

That doesn’t sound like something people would do on psychedelics. Aren’t hippies the ones who do LSD, or do others?It’s not just hippies. It’s actually a lot of kinds of people.

So if someone offered you LSD, would you try it?No.

If someone told you they would give you $1 million to make it, would you make it?No.

What about a billion dollars? Everyone has their price.A billion? Maybe if I had the recipe, I suppose. I’ve heard it’s quite hard to make.

It’s nearly impossible to take much from Arizona’s first five games of 2011, and it’s even

harder to find anything positive. Most expected that the

Wildcats would be 1-4. They are. It was known that the

defensive line lost three NFL-caliber players to graduation, and it would be tough for a bunch of relative unknowns to replace their production.

They haven’t been able to. Most fans knew Arizona lost

all five starters from 2010’s offensive line, and even with Arizona having one of the top quarterbacks in the Pac-12 in Nick Foles, the offense would only go as far as its line would take it.

And so far that’s been to 27.4 points per game, ranking Arizona 71st in America.

On the surface, Saturday’s game at Oregon State looks like a matchup of two bad teams. OSU is winless this season, and Arizona hasn’t beaten a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent since Oct. 30, 2010.

But while that may be true — it’s hard to call two teams without a win over an FBS team anything but bad — there’s more to it than that.

It’s a chance for Arizona to show that maybe it doesn’t have the worst defense in America, a chance to show that the Wildcats are a somewhat competent football team that doesn’t shoot itself in the foot every time an opportunity presents itself.

And most important, it’s a chance to start resurrecting a season that’s off to as bad a start as possible. Arizona is ranked toward the bottom of the country

in every major defensive category out of 120 schools: 111th in rush defense, 110th in pass defense, 115th in total defense, 112th in scoring defense, 116th in pass efficiency defense, 116th in turnovers gained, 114th in sacks and 102nd in tackles for loss.

But that could be thanks to Arizona’s schedule.

The Wildcats have run the gauntlet of three straight top-10 teams. They went on the road to the most storied program in the Pac-12. They got beaten down in all four games.

And through that stretch, the silver lining was that Arizona would learn about itself. The Wildcats would learn what they do well, and learn what they don’t.

Now it’s time to see if that happened.

Arizona is about to begin a streak of six straight games that are very winnable. Six straight games between somewhat evenly matched teams.

Win on Saturday against Oregon State, and Arizona could go on one of its patented hot streaks, similar to the one that saw the Wildcats climb to No. 9 in the rankings last season.

But lose, and it’s hard to imagine the Wildcats beating anyone on their schedule save for Louisiana-Lafayette.

So come Saturday evening, everyone will have a better feel for where Arizona’s season is heading — for better or for worse.

The No. 22 Arizona hockey team travels to Springfield, Ill., for the Ninth Annual American Collegiate Hockey Association’s Division I Showcase this weekend. The team will play No. 18 Michigan-Dearborn today, No. 9 Oakland University on Saturday and No. 17 Stony Brook on Sunday.

“I think we will do very well actually,” said senior forward Chad Wade. “We have come a long way this season already, and we have built a great program. It’s going to be a fun weekend; it’s definitely going to be a good time.”

All 16 of the teams in the showcase are ranked in the top 25 of the ACHA preseason poll. The UA is the second-lowest ranked team overall, with No. 25 Kent State the worst. No. 1 Davenport, No. 3 Ohio and No. 5 Adrian are all in the showcase, but they will not play the Wildcats.

“(The showcase) is a good opportunity for us,” coach Sean Hogan said. “We got to get out there and show everybody what we can do, show them that it’s a new era and a new culture here.”

The Wildcats’ trip is made even harder after

picking up two critical injuries the past weekend in Tempe. Captain Brian Slugocki bruised his ribs and collarbone and is day-to-day, but the team plans on him playing this weekend. Sophomore defenseman Mike Basist, who scored last weekend at ASU, also suffered an injury, separating his shoulder. According to Hogan, Basist might play in the showcase, but it is not a certainty.

Because of these nagging injuries and the wear of playing three straight difficult opponents, the depth of the roster will be tested this weekend. But as Wade said, it is just part of playing in an event like this, and the team has to be prepared to give everything it has for each and every game.

That type of mentality is one of the new changes Hogan is trying to instill in the team: the mental toughness to keep playing.

“They have got to be able to fight through the pain; fight through injuries … That’s what is going to be the game-changer for us in the long run,” Hogan said. “It’s not necessarily schemes and things like that; it’s changing the culture and the mentality.”

ArizonaJuron Criner, wide receiver

Criner finished last season with 1,233 yards receiving and was poised to break that mark coming into this season, but so far, he hasn’t come near the dominance he showed flashes of last season.

An appendectomy kept him sidelined against Oklahoma State, but since his return, Criner has only caught two touchdown passes and hasn’t recorded a 100-yard receiving game, something that seemed to be happening every week for him last year. On the road this weekend, Criner’s contributions will be crucial to Arizona’s success.

Adam Hall, safetyWith the Wildcats’ defense ranking as one

of the worst in the country, it’s guaranteed that head coach Mike Stoops will try to get Hall playing as soon as he can. Hall went down in spring ball with an ACL tear and has spent the start of the season on the sideline trying to recover.

Last season, the junior’s physical and vocal presence contributed to defensive success and Hall would certainly bring some leadership to a struggling and very young Arizona defensive corps.

He most likely won’t get the start on Saturday, but look for him to see some action.

Alex Zendejas/John Bonano, place kickersThere appeared to be little confidence

from Mike Stoops in his decision to give Zendejas the starting job on Saturday after Zendejas missed his first two extra points on the road against USC last week.

If Zendejas continues his trend this week, look for Bonano to get some scoring chances for the Wildcats. With the way the kicking game has been going this year, and Bonano’s ability to put the ball deep on kickoffs, Stoops could be looking at him to try and revitalize it.

Oregon State

James Rodgers, wide receiverWhen the Beavers visited Tucson last season,

the senior receiver tore his ACL on a hit from Adam Hall in the end zone. Two surgeries later, Rodgers will be looking to make a statement against the Wildcats this weekend.

With a combination of lethal speed and athleticism, Rodgers constantly breaks his coverage and brings down the pass. He didn’t play in the first two games of the season, but since coming back he’s caught 10 passes for 108 yards and a touchdown.

Sean Mannion, quarterbackThe redshirt freshman Mannion is the

youngest quarterback to start for the Beavers since 1998, and while his numbers haven’t been the greatest and OSU has yet to win a game, OSU head coach Mike Riley says that he’s growing every game.

Despite the Beavers getting shut out on the road against Wisconsin at the beginning of September, Mannion still managed to complete 25 passes for 244 yards. In his last outing, Mannion was picked off by the ASU defense four times, but he should be refocused against the Wildcats this weekend.

Johnny Hekker, punterWatch to see if Hekker steps on the field

on Saturday; USC punter Kyle Negrete was a spectator on the sidelines throughout last week’s contest. It was the first time that the Wildcats, under Stoops, failed to force a punt. For the Wildcats to get their first win in four games, the defense is going to have to step up on third down. It’s very hard to win ball games without forcing a punt, and it will be a small victory for the Wildcats if Hekker appears on Saturday.

Hockey seeks first win at showcase

wildcats need a fast start

Mike Christy/Daily WilDCat

Keola antolin and the Wildcats have been outscored 55-3 during the first quarters of the past four games.

240 minutes. That’s how much game time

has elapsed since Arizona last led an opponent. Four games, 33 days and not one lead. Since defeating NAU 41-10 on Sept. 3, the Wildcats have redefined the phrase “playing from behind.”

They’ve been outscored 55-3 in their last four first quarters, at various points trailing 21-0 to Oklahoma State, 10-0 to Stanford, 14-0 to Oregon and 17-0 to USC.

If Arizona hopes to snap its nine-game FBS losing streak, a fast start in Corvallis, Ore., against Oregon State this Saturday at 12:30 p.m. is a must.

“We haven’t started well, and I wish I had an explanation for it,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “We need to get off to better starts. This will be an important game heading into a bye week and gaining some

momentum.”Arizona’s first quarter defense

has been atrocious, to put it lightly. Over the course of their last four first quarters the Wildcats have allowed an average of 13.75 points and 178 total yards.

They’ve given up a touchdown on the opponent’s first drive in three of the last four games — they forced a punt against Stanford.

Overall, the Wildcats are allowing 503.6 yards per game, good for 115th in the NCAA.

“To be good you’ve got to play good defense and right now we’re not playing good defense,” Stoops said. ”That’s really the heart of a lot of our issues is our inability to get off the field consistently, or at all in

UA veterans catch a break in the competition

The Arizona men and women’s cross-country teams will stay close to home this weekend, competing on Saturday in the Grand Canyon University Invitational in Goodyear, Ariz.

“This weekend is more of a time trial for our newer runners. We’re not going to try to win so our top runners will not be competing,” said associate head coach James Li.

Despite freshman Lawi Lalang’s record-setting 8,000-meter performance and junior Jen Bergman’s third-place finish in the 6,000-meter race at the Roy Griak Invitational in St. Paul, Minn. , last week, both the men and women’s teams dropped in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association (USTFCCCA) rankings. The women dropped one spot to No. 4 in the West Region rankings and are No. 14 in the nation while the unranked men dropped five spots to No. 14 in the region .

“The competition is a little tougher this year,” Li said, “but this weekend is a small meet. We will have about seven or eight female runners and five or six male runners.”

The women will start off with the 5,000-meter race scheduled to start at 8 a.m. followed by the men’s 8,000-meter race at 8:45 a.m.

With a lull in the competition this week, the UA’s top runners will train and prepare for the following week’s Wisconsin Adidas Invitational taking place on Oct. 14 in Madison, Wisc. As it’s one of the biggest meets of the year with 38 teams competing, all runners will be expected to compete at the highest level.

“Next week’s race and this week’s race is like comparing a high school game to a Final Four,” Li said. “You just can’t speak of them in the same terms.”

Offseason changes not affecting women’s swim’s desire to be the best

First-year coach Eric Hansen debuts at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center

The Arizona women’s swimming and diving team begins its season Saturday against the Kansas Jayhawks at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center with one thing in mind.

“Our goal is always a national championship,” said first-year assistant Geoff Hanson .

Leading the way for the Wildcats is senior captain Alyssa Anderson , who is coming off her best season yet. Anderson will be relied on to set the example for the rest of the women on the team, and has no problem with that responsibility.

“As the captain, I just want to lead by example. It’s my last year, and I want to go out with a bang, and have fun most importantly,” she said.

Although she is the leader of the team, the coaching staff is proud of the team Anderson has behind her. The Wildcats had two female swimmers in addition to Anderson — sophomore Margo Geer , and junior Ellyn Baumgardner — invited to the Pan-American games, an international multi-sport event that is held in Mexico each fall.

The meet this weekend will be a huge test for not only the swim team, but the new coaching staff as well. Head coach and Arizona alum Eric Hansen recognizes the challenges that await the team, and he embraces them.

“We need to refine some things and race sharp, even though we are implementing a new system,” Hansen said. “Relays are our focal point. We’ve put some together that are going to give us a chance to win.”

The coaching change has not affected Anderson, whose focus has not wavered.

“Winning is still the focus,” she said. “We need to race well, and the first one is always difficult. It’s just about making sure our hand is on the wall first.”

Men’s tennis travels to N.M. for invitational

Chen, Bermudez, Chou, and Pigou compete in 2011 Balloon Fiesta Invitational

Four players from the Arizona Wildcats men’s tennis team will participate in the 2011 Balloon Fiesta Invitational this weekend in Albuquerque, N.M. All matches will be held at Linda Estes Tennis Complex. The tournament begins today at 9 a.m. and continues through Sunday .

Representing the Wildcats is junior Frank Chen and three freshmen in Carlos Bermudez, Robin Chou and Mike Pigou .

“The competition is regionally pretty strong,” said head coach Tad Berkowitz . “It will be an opportunity for our guys to show what they can bring to the program this fall.”

The Wildcats’ opponents this weekend include tournament host University of New Mexico, NAU, New Mexico State University, Air Force, Western New Mexico, Colorado State-Pueblo and New Mexico Military Institute.

The 2011 Balloon Fiesta Invitational marks the third tournament of the Wildcats’ season.

Prior to this tournament, Chen, Bermudez and Chou participated in the 2011 Aggie Fall Invitational.

PREVIEWS

Arizona cross-country’s young runners race at GCU

the case of the other night, and it’s hard to win any games like that.”

But while the first-quarter defense has been nonexistent, the offense has been nearly as ineffective. The Wildcats are averaging a measly 0.75 points and 75 total yards in their last four first quarters.

In their first two possessions of each of the last four games the Wildcats have punted seven times, had four three and outs and thrown one interception. During those possessions they’ve gained only 113 yards on 44 plays, yielding an average of only 2.5 yards per play.

“It just makes it hard in general,” running backs coach Garret Chachere said of the slow starts. “There’s so much that we have to wait on to get going. The sand is running out of the hourglass and then also you don’t have as many possessions left. We have to start from the beginning and get going.”

The Wildcats won’t win any games with that combination of first-quarter offense and defense. But luckily for Arizona, that came against top-tier competition, which the winless Beavers (0-4) certainly are not.

Like Arizona, Oregon State is a slow-starting team, scoring only nine points in its four first quarters. So if the Wildcats hope to break out of their early-game slump, the Beavers seem to be the perfect opponent.

Quarterback Nick Foles should also have his way with a mediocre Beavers pass defense that’s given up 10 passing touch-downs through four games.

Arizona should also continue to improve on the ground against a rush defense that yields 149.5 rushing yards per game. As Ka’Deem Carey continues to develop and the young offensive line builds continu-ity, the Wildcats’ ground attack is getting stronger, and that should continue against the Beavers.

“The highlight of the game was that front line just coming together,” Carey said after the Wildcats rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns against USC. “Seeing them come together, get a push, open up some holes, that was just a highlight. That just means there’s more where that came from.”

But for the Wildcats to get their first FBS win since Oct. 30, 2010 , they need to come out with their hair on fire, while stop-ping the Beavers’ pass-happy offense. One week after Robert Woods grabbed 14 balls for 255 yards , Arizona will face two of the Pac-12’s top receivers in James Rodgers and Markus Wheaton , who ranks second in the conference in catches and fourth in receiving yards.

“They’re extremely quick on the out-side with the two receivers Rodgers and Wheaton and the quarterback’s getting better every week,” said defensive coor-dinator Tim Kish . “They stretch the field. We’ve got to be prepared for all of it.”

GORDON BATES/DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona’s cross country team races in Tucson’s Dave Murray Invitational on Sept. 16. The veterans will take a race off to allow for the newer harriers to gain valuable experience in Goodyear, Ariz., this weekend.

The winless Arizona soccer team will host two games this weekend against Pac-12 Conference foes Oregon. The Wildcats play the Ducks at 7 p.m. and Oregon State on Sunday at noon.

Against Colorado and Utah last weekend, the Wildcats had arguably their most successful weekend , as they scored three goals. Unfortunately, those goals did not produce any wins as Arizona tied Colorado 2-2 and lost to Utah 3-1. In head coach Lisa Oyen’s eyes, the team made some progress, despite the fact that it remains winless at 0-9-2.

“We made some positive progress. We scored three goals on the weekend, which was good. We had to deal with a number of injuries but everyone did

well to work through,” Oyen said.Injuries have been a problem

recently for the Wildcats, and Oyen believes that is a primary reason for some of the recent struggles.

“We have some players that are dealing with illness and injuries right now,” Oyen said. “It’s that time of the year where they break down. They’re just trying to keep themselves healthy. The injuries affect our ability to play well as an entire unit, and we had to make changes in areas we normally don’t make changes.”

Despite the injuries, there were still a few standout performers for the Wildcats. Juniors Susana Melendez and Jessica Culver both scored goals against Colorado, and sophomore Ana-Maria Montoya scored Arizona’s only goal against Utah. Oyen praised Culver, Montoya and junior defender Alex Smith for their performances last weekend.

Arizona will need the rest of the team to step up if it hopes to end its eight-game winless streak in the Pac-12, dating back to last season.

The Arizona volleyball team (10-5, 2-4 Pac-12) is heading into another highly competitive weekend, playing No. 5 USC tonight and No. 2 UCLA tomorrow. This time, the team will have the home-court advantage. The Wildcats are coming off a weekend where they fell to both No. 4 California and No. 6 Stanford on the road.

Head coach Dave Rubio is striving for consistency with his team.

“To be honest, you just kind of hope that we play at a more consistent and sustainable level,” Rubio said. “We played well last week against two very good teams but weren’t able to sustain that level long enough.”

The Wildcats are 2-4 in conference , but have shown the ability to keep up with big teams on the scoreboard.

They even won a game against the Stanford Cardinal last week.

“We’re going to put ourselves in a position to beat teams if we continue to get better and focus on the process of getting better, rather than the end result of a win or a loss,” Rubio said.

The Trojans are coming off of six consecutive wins , and the team is not only nationally ranked, but is also composed of multiple nationally ranked players.

“USC is clearly the team in our con-ference that has the ability to win a national championship,” Rubio said. “I look at them and say they have size, they’re well skilled and they have expe-rience.”

Following the Trojans, the Wildcats will take on the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins are currently 6-1 in conference play .

“The Bruins have extremely well-skilled players,” Rubio said. “They’re not as physical as USC. But those two teams, USC and UCLA, are clearly the two best teams in our conference at this point.”

While bookies might favor USC and UCLA, there’s always the possibility of an upset.

“Right now, are we good enough to beat a team like USC and UCLA?” Rubio said. “It’s hard to say, every match takes on its own complexion. That’s why there are upsets in sports.”
