Caliente Contest
UA homecoming this weekend is
all about Wilbur the Wildcat - the
beloved and furry mascot turns
50 on Saturday.

The UA used real animals as
mascots off and on between the
early 1900s and the late 1950s
(with at least one tragic mishap),
until two UA students (Richard
Heller and John Paquette)
pitched the idea of using a
costume-wearing human.

Wilbur made his first appearance
at the UA vs. Texas Tech football
game on Nov. 7, 1959, and was
an immediate hit, according to a
UA Web site.

Wilbur's look has evolved over the
years. It was during one of those
costume makeovers that Wilma
the Wildcat was created.

She made her first public
appearance on March 1, 1986,
during a "blind date" with Wilbur.
The pair later "married" before an
Arizona-Arizona State football
game.

For a chance to win a a set of
three audio books, tell us the
date of their wedding.

Phil Villarreal has worked for the Daily Star since birth, but he's been the movie critic since February 2001. You could say he's a fan of the cinema. Each day he wakes up to a plate of steaming scrambled movies, which he washes down with a glass of movie juice, all while watching a movie. In his free time he plays video games and watches movies. Phil's new book, the humorous, money saving guide "Secrets of a Stingy Scoundrel" is due out Sept. 1 and available for preorder.

A bill with a high price

Local video game magnate Vince Desi of “Postal” series fame sent me this message in reaction to a bill (thankfully shot down) in Arizona’s state legislature intended to let angry Mario dads sue game developers for controversial games.

“I think the best thing we have going is our Supreme Court. The Bill of
Rights, is the core of our democracy, and whether liberal or
conservative, all citizens have the right to express themselves.

“The bill is more than unconstitutional, it’s a disgrace.

“I leave for Moscow next week for a Russian Game Awards event, MTV
broadcast, and while they may have a strange political version of
democracy, they actually have more social liberties than most.”
