Nightmare on Sixth Street
The Oregon Ducks came into Tucson with hopes of a possible
Rose Bowl berth and a Heisman Trophy candidate, but they left
with their bills between their legs after the Wildcats' version of
blitzkrieg was unloaded on their offense.
While the sun was fading in Arizona Stadium Saturday evening,
the Wildcats' side of the scoreboard kept getting brighter as they
blew out the Ducks 38-3 in front of a small but raucous crowd
of 44,931.
"We just wanted to come out of this 8-1," said UA junior wide
receiver Dennis Northcutt, who had four receptions for 50
yards. "We aren't looking for anything extra, just a chance to win the Pac-10."

Editorial: Busting the beggars on
Fourth Avenue
Fourth Avenue is a Tucson landmark. Open air cafes and markedly non-corporate merchants
combine to create an offbeat and enjoyable locale. But there is a problem.
The same pleasant surroundings that draw people down Fourth also attract a large community of
the homeless - largely young people in their late teens and early twenties. As anyone who frequents
Fourth Avenue knows, these young adults panhandle or "spang" quite aggressively. Despite the
existence of a $20,000-a-year program that provides the young panhandlers with food, clothing
and job training opportunities, Fourth Avenue business owners claim their aggressive begging has
continued to frighten patrons away.
