The UA Saver Heart Center has 150 members and emphasizes a highly collaborative research environment whose goal is a future free of heart disease and stroke. “While the shift towards an older population appears monumental, together we can continue on the path of innovation while providing lifesaving patient care in our state,” wrote Director of UA Sarver Heart Center Dr. Nancy K. Sweitzer, in a statement to the community. — Pascal Albright
The Arizona football preseason practice is set to start on Aug. 3 with evening practices before the start of their season on Sept. 1. Since the end of spring practices, the Wildcats 2019 recruiting class has continued to rise in the national rankings, aided by the commitment of four-star Texas quarterback Grant Gunnell. On June 14 — just two days after Dallas cornerback Logan Wilson de-committed — homegrown offensive lineman Jordan Morgan pledged his allegiance to the Wildcats, increasing the team’s total number of commits back to four. At the end of June, Arizona hosted prospective recruits, and in return received verbal commitments from a trio of defensive standouts. The Wildcats first game is set for Sep. 1 against BYU, and is followed by a Sept. 8 game at Houston. You can find the full schedule available on Arizonawildcats.com. The full practice schedule will be released by the end of July. For daily updates, follow Arizona Football on their social media pages. — Pascal Albright

EDITORIAL
Fraternities can be a force for good, so start doing more of that, please BY DAILY WILDCAT OPINIONS BOARD @DailyWildcat
Greek life here at the University of Arizona can be ubiquitous in its presence, both for students participating in a fraternity or sorority and those outside them. And for the most part, these organizations carry out their similar sounding oaths to mold men and women for success in academics and in life. They hold philanthropic events that benefit worthy non-profits and charities, and create bonds to the university and to their individual organizations that can last a lifetime. But let’s be real: they are best known for throwing the biggest and best parties in town. And hey, it’s college, so that’s to be expected of 18-22 year old young adults, all thrown together and trying to make something of themselves and their futures. Unfortunately, a culture of cover-up and a “too big to fail” attitude can permeate through insular institutions, and fraternal organizations here at the UA are not immune to what has been a nationwide reckoning for powerful and secretive men and institutions. A July 11 Daily Wildcat article and an earlier Arizona Daily Star story summarized the (now ever-summer) roll-call of UA frats under some sort of sanction or investigation. Alpha Epsilon Pi, Kappa Sigma and are under interim loss of recognition, which means they can’t hold official activities until the investigation is over. Alpha Kappa Lambda, Theta Delta Chi and Beta Theta Pi are all on full interim activities suspension, a slightly less version of double-secret probation. Of course none of those frats can match the ignoble accomplishment of being thrown off campus, a feat most recently achieved by Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The recent cast-off came at the hands of its own national headquarters, who found the chapter had violated “health and safety policies.”
And then there is the case of Alpha Sigma Phi. Thrown off campus in April 2017, two of the chapters members will soon stand trail, one for the beating of a former pledge, the other for still other beatings and hazing he dished out during that same year. According to a lawsuit, the former pledge is filing against the frat and the UA. After the incident, he was found to have head trauma, a lacerated spleen, sepsis, cigarette burns on his arms, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Even with the recent onslaught of bad news, it is seductive to fall back on the default excuses of yester-year: “not all fraternities do this,” “don’t let a few bad apples shape your perception,” “it’s a slippery slope.” No. Sorry. Since 2012, more than 10 fraternities have been thrown off campus. If it’s not all of them, it sure doesn’t seem like it. The fraternal organizations here on campus are at a cross-roads. If they continue down a path that sees an average of two or three organizations kicked off campus per year, then either the UA or continued bad press will force the frats off campus. If however, organizations choose to hold their members accountable for degenerate and anti-social behavior and commit to changing their insular, homogeneous cultures to ones of acceptance and welcoming, then perhaps they will live up to the lofty goals they set for themselves. And have even better parties.

Building confidence with self defense With the start of the semester right around the corner, UAPD and other on/off-campus resources offer self-defense training courses to new and returning students BY AMBER SOLAND @DailyWildcat
The University of Arizona Police Department is in the middle of developing an organized self-defense class to teach students to protect themselves from violent encounters like sexual assault. Until that class is available, there are alternatives to be found on and around campus. The first six weeks of the fall semester tend to have a higher rate of sexual assault on campus, making this an especially vulnerable time for college freshmen, according to UAPD Chief of Police Brian Seastone. This period is called the “Red Zone.” “It is something real on this campus, and it is something we try to mitigate as much as possible,” Seastone said. According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, known as RAINN, about 11.2 percent of all undergraduates will experience rape or sexual assault in some form. For undergraduates, 23.1 percent of females, 21 percent of transgender, genderqueer or nonconforming persons and 5.4 percent of males will have such an encounter before they graduate. The numbers can be daunting, but the first semester harbors an especially worrisome statistic — more than 50 percent of all sexual assaults on college campuses occur between August and November. Many factors have been cited for this increase, Seastone said. “The first six weeks of the school year are always a concern for a number of reasons,” he said. “Students are now out on their own, experiencing new things that they don’t have to report to home. People have a tendency to take chances they normally wouldn’t.” In the fall semester, there is increased occurrence of alcohol consumption and more social events organized by both students and the university. UAPD does its best to educate students on the importance of consent and the dangers of drinking. Through presentations and safety fairs throughout the year, there are many school features meant to keep people safe, including the emergency blue light telephone system. “If for some reason an individual can’t stay at the blue light phone or doesn’t feel safe or comfortable, they can push the button on every blue light phone that they see and the UAPD will track their movements,” said Alvaro Rene Hernandez of UAPD. Nonetheless, UAPD encourages students to stay cautious and alert. “Have a plan, be cautious, aware of your surroundings, and if something makes you uncomfortable, let someone know,” Hernandez said. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, 63 percent of all sexual assaults go unreported and more than 90 percent of all sexual assaults on campus go unreported. RAINN attributes this to the victims’ fear of retaliation, the belief that the police will do nothing to help or other fears and misconceptions. Seastone encourages victims to not be afraid of reporting instances of sexual assault. He said every reported case of sexual assault takes precedent at UAPD. “People are reluctant to report [instances of sexual assault] and these cases are often difficult to follow up on,” Seastone said. “We make sexual assault cases a priority as far as we

possibly can.” There will be times when people may need to protect themselves, and Seastone and UAPD are hoping to provide a method of doing so. There is strong evidence to suggest that proper self-defense training reduces the risk of sexual assault. “We are actually looking at bringing ongoing [selfdefense] training to the campus,” Seastone said. “Any type of training that allows people to become more aware of their surroundings and gives them more self-confidence is always valuable.” There are self-defense and women’s self-defense classes associated with the UA, but they are all organized by separate, individual groups and often come with fees, according to Seastone. For instance, the UA Campus Recreation Center offers a military combat arts class, but there is a fee per class. A 10-minute drive down Euclid Avenue will take you to Tucson Rising Phoenix Fitness and Defense Facility, where Krav Maga black belt Jesse James Tucker and others teach “real-life self-defense” in a warm and fun environment. “[Krav Maga] is something that is very easy for anybody to learn because it’s based on converting your gross motor skills and your natural flinch response,” Tucker said. “You’re training to attack vulnerable targets, so it’s something that a smaller, weaker person can train to be just as effective as a bigger, stronger person.”
Tucker, who was bullied and physically assaulted in his younger years, thought of self-defense training as a necessity. “My favorite part [of teaching self-defense] is showing people how much power they really have inside them when they don’t realize it yet,” Tucker said. Like Seastone, Tucker said even a few proper self-defense classes can increase someone’s confidence — and that in itself can protect somebody. According to Tucker, body language is half the fight. “In most cases, just the confidence and the way you carry yourself and by being more aware of your surroundings can make you appear to be someone that nobody would want to mess with,” Tucker said. Tucker said he believes that creating an open, safe and empowering environment is the most important part about being a self-defense trainer. “Here, of course I’m going to push you do work hard and better yourself, but it’s in a fun, warm and welcome environment,” Tucker said. If you’re interested in learning self-defense, there are several resources available at and around UA, including classes through UA Campus Rec, the Oasis Center at Campus Health and independent self-defense training facilities in town.

A RENDERING OF THE multi-sport indoor practice facility. The project is expected to be complete sometime in December this year.

Arizona athletics gets a makeover Construction is underway for multiple athletics projects as part of the departments $66 million Capital Improvement Plan. Arizona Stadium, the Ginny L. Clements Academic Center, Hillenbrand Stadium and Aquatic Center are set to be upgraded along with the addition of a new indoor practice facility BY MARK LAWSON @DailyWildcat
The University of Arizona campus has undergone some major renovations since the end of the 2018 sports season. As a part of Athletic Director Dave Heeke’s $66 million Capital Improvement Plan, Arizona Stadium, Hillenbrand Stadium, Hillenbrand Aquatic Center and McKale Center all have begun to undergo major upgrades. The new indoor sports facility next to the Ginny L. Clements Academic Center is the final touch on the project, with the goal being enhancement of the experience for both the fan and the student-athlete. Indoor Practice Facility The indoor facility has probably the biggest effect on fans and recruits in the coming years and has been a few years in the making. Former UA football head coach Rich Rodriguez stated in 2017 that an indoor facility was “number one on our priority list.” Steve Kozachik, associate director of Athletics Facilities and Capital Projects, reiterated how big the facility would be. “We used to have Camp Cochise in Douglas for the football team and would regularly lose practice days due to the monsoons,” Kozachik said. “Moving indoors will help maximize practice time for not just football but all teams when the weather is too hot or not permitting.” While the facility is important for the coaches and players, it will also help the fans beat the heat. Tailgating will still take place on the UA Mall, but Kozachik spoke to the benefits of the new space. “We will have roll-up doors that lead directly towards the stadium for fans to access after they tailgate,” Kozachik said. The foundations for the building are being laid currently, with the turf already in place. The project is expected to be completed sometime in December. Arizona Stadium Arizona Stadium is seeing $25 million in renovations in an attempt to improve infrastructure, circulation and fan amenities. The ground level concourse will receive new concession areas and restrooms, with access points on the east and southeast also receiving upgrades. The largest renovations will come to the ZonaZoo, with the dividing wall between the field and
stands lowered for a less obstructed view, along with the addition of two viewing bays. Both of the viewing bays are receiving the final touches, along with new bleachers for the student section. “It is a more inviting experience,” Kozachik said. “The wall allows for an enhanced view, with the new bleachers being more functional.” Completion of the first phase of renovations is expected in time for the Sept 1 season opener against BYU, with a second phase that will include additional concessions, restroom and seating upgrades beginning in January 2019. Locker Rooms When the Ginny L. Clements Academic Center was completed in 2017, it not only provided academic assistance for student-athletes, it allowed for space in the depths of McKale Center to be freed up, paving the way for new locker rooms, according to Kozachik. There will be new locker rooms for men’s sports such as golf, soccer and tennis, along with women’s track and field and cross county. Men’s track and field and cross country, along with women’s swimming and diving, will also see their locker rooms remodeled. “They will have upgraded locker facilities and new lounge areas,” Kozachik said. “The new additions will definitely be a big plus in recruiting.” The locker rooms project began in late March, with completion on track for August 15. Hillenbrand Stadium and Aquatic Center Hillenbrand Stadium renovations began in June of this year, with the press box and seating being upgraded. The budget for the project was $8 million, with finishing touches expected in time for the 2019 softball campaign in January. These will mark the first renovations for the stadium since 2015, when the facility saw upgrades to the clubhouse and irrigation systems. Hillenbrand Aquatic Center is also on track to meet its January upgrade schedule. The $15 million renovations began in April, with the pool expanding from 50 to 65 meters and four more 25-yard short-course lanes. Kozachik said he understands the importance of adhering to the completion dates and will continue to look into future projects to enhance the university. “We’ll see where we are from a needs and financial standpoint once we cross the finish line,” Kozachik said.

NADIA ALVAREZ, THE FOUNDER of the event, dances the Macarena with her students. Alvarez said she wants students to feel pride when studying abroad and uses this event to help them remember their backgrounds.
UA Global’s international programs bring together students from all parts of the world, each with their own goals to attain and stories to tell. During the summer, Study Arizona: Short-Term Programs hosts international students in STEM fields and social sciences. Students get to live on the UA campus, participate in faculty-mentored research projects and immerse themselves in a number of different cultures. This year, students worked to find a relationship between a foreign country and their own. “We host students from different parts of the world and the faculty and staff here [at UA Global] thought it would be a good idea for international students to interact with other students participating in this program,” said Nadia Alvarez, director of Study Arizona: Short-Term Programs. On one table, students from Saudi Arabia and Mexico showcased the relationship of their two cultures through the power of food. “We have a flour tortilla from the northern part of Mexico and here we have khubz bread from Saudi Arabia. Aside from a difference in taste, they’re pretty much used the same way,” said Ana Paul Peñuñuri, a senior from the University of Sonora, Mexico. Peñuñuri is under mentorship in a tenweek program offered by UA and hopes to gain her master’s degree in biology at UA. “Although I used to come to Tucson for shopping or visiting family in the past, coming to UA is a far better experience for me, studying biology in a very welcoming lab,” Peñuñuri said. The program also welcomes graduate students who are pursuing careers in research. Students receive one-on-one mentorship in their own research, preparing them to join some of their mentors’ research at UA.
“I love the experience. I’ve been here for a year studying chemistry,” said Anupama Peiris, a graduate student from Panadura, Sri Lanka. “Some of the places I find similar to some of Sri Lanka’s culture [are] some Indian and Mexican restaurants, for some of the spicy food.” Peiris, along with her peers, helped set up a colorful table with displays of pictures of the diverse landscape of Sri Lanka, from arid desert plains to sunsets on tropical beaches. On one side of the table were students educating attendees on the Sinhalese and Tamil languages, two of the main languages spoken in the island nation located to the south of India in the Indian Ocean. People in attendance stood listening to the international students and went away with their name written in the Sinhalese alphabet. Also on the display were wooden cooking utensils, a traditional red osariya dress, and a small tapestry with art reflecting the population of elephants in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka’s flag was on display with a golden frame, representing the unity in diversity. Inside the border-like canvas were two panels with three more colors: green, orange and maroon. Two equal vertical bands of green and orange stood on the left and, according to Peiris, the green represents the Moors and the Islamic faith. The orange stands for the Tamils and the Hindu faith. “The other color in the Sri Lankan flag is maroon, representing the Sinhalese people in the Buddhist religion,” Peiris said. According to Alvarez, the event allows students to find a relationship not only in their field of study but among their diverse cultures. “There is a different dynamic when the students can identify and create an activity that maybe has an intersection between different cultures,” Alvarez said.

NEWS | MAIN GATE FOOD & CULTURE
Culinary Challenge draws a crowd With Tucson’s culinary scene the subject of recent laudatory stories in national publications ranging from the New York Times to NPR online, it’s common to see mentions of downtown and Fourth Avenue. But what about Tucson’s most college-centric and walkable district, Main Gate Square? BY EDDIE CELAYA @reporterEddie
The Marriott Tucson University Park grand ballroom was packed to capacity Saturday, July 21, as hordes of people sampled the best food and drink University Boulevard has to offer. The second annual Main Gate Culinary Challenge drew nearly 1,500 attendees and more than 15 vendors from various culinary backgrounds. According to Jonathan Graham, the general manager for Frog & Firkin, the event served to showcase his establishment and others in the Main Gate District during the traditional slow time for Tucson-area eateries: summer. “University [Boulevard] has so much more to offer,” Graham said. “Especially during the three summer months and a month during the winter, it’s really a good thing and it’s good exposure for our stuff.” Other vendors echoed Graham’s sentiments about needed summer exposure. Camilla Quist, owner of Jimmy’s Pita and Poke, said attendees told her the event was attractive because they didn’t have to fight for parking space with students and people working at the UA. Quist, whose establishment originally served only pitas but rebranded to add the increasingly popular fish-based dish called poke, also credited the event with exposing her restaurant to Tucsonans who might not frequent the area. “It just adds awareness,” she said. “People now know we are there. Sometimes people don’t like to come down to the university for this and that, so it is just nice to get outside Tucsonans coming into the event.” For Catherine Jackson and her husband, who live in Oro Valley, that was exactly the appeal of the culinary challenge. Jackson said she heard about the event through her husband’s connections at work downtown. “The draw? It’s definitely summer,” she said. “We have older kids, so we like to go do things at night and feel young around the college kids.” Jackson said the event allowed her to try food from restaurants she wouldn’t have time to visit during the rest of the year.
“It’s fun to try something new,” she said. “I just had a great piece of pizza and wings from Frog & Firkin, so it gives us the chance to try things without having to commit to a whole night.” While food and drink were the main draw for the evening, other University Boulevard shops got in on the action. Emily Brown, owner of Posner’s Art Store, was on hand with her daughters to help children at the event with crafts like making bookmarks and finger painting. For the Browns, the event was more than just brand exposure. It served to build connections between area merchants. “We get to see each other more, because normally we are all working in our businesses, a little wave is all you get,” she said. “This way we get a chance to visit a little, to see who has something new on the menu.” Graham also appreciated the sense of community the event fostered, and not just among the merchants. “I want to make it a place for everybody,” he said. “Which is why I love events like this, because we are reaching thousands of people without having to do much; it’s already here.” The event was a collaboration between the Marshall Foundation and Adam Lehrman, founder of local food-industry blog Tucson Foodie. It featured music from Spanish-folk outfit The Nathanial Burnside Trio and offered two separate awards: one voted on by judges and another voted on by attendees. The judges, local food-writers including Andi Berlin of This Is Tucson and Tucson Weekly’s Mark Whittaker, tried dishes from each participating vendor. At the end of the night, Lehrman announced the winner: Frog & Firkin. For students who might just be coming back to Tucson from summer vacation, or who might be in for their first semester at the University of Arizona, Jackson offered up advice. “Siphon a little of mom and dad’s money and come and try some of the local places,” she said. “Maybe ask for some gift cards from the grandparents; that’s what our boys do. It will give them a little more diversity than eating on campus.”

Local jazz takes Main Gate stage The Friday Night Live Free Jazz Concert series, located at Geronimo Plaza, highlights local jazz musicians from April through August. In its seventh year, the series continues to promote a sense of community BY MONICA BARICEVIC @monicabaricevic
The Friday Night Live Free Jazz Concert series on Main Gate Square has been going on for over seven years and features a different jazz group every other Friday. The series begins in April and goes through early August each year. The jazz concert series “first began in partnership with SAACA , Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance, to bring great local music to the community and encourage everyone to explore Main Gate Square and enjoy all the shopping and dining we offer,” said Kris Siuda, marketing coordinator for Main Gate and the Marshall Foundation. Siuda has been with the Marshall Foundation for three years. The foundation holds events that support higher education, youth programs, and arts and cultural organizations, according to the Marshall Foundation website. Main Gate Square offers shopping and entertainment right next to the University of Arizona, between Euclid and Park avenues. “The lush Geronimo Plaza where the concerts take place offers a great outdoor shaded area and is really close to many great dining choices for our concert goers,” Siuda said. In preparation for The Friday Night Live Jazz Concert series, the event coordinators work with Jonas Hunter Productions, setting up scheduling and booking the talent several months before the series starts. Siuda and other coordinators use media partners such as KOLD 13, KVOA 4 and KXCI Community Radio to promote the upcoming festival. Jonas Hunter Productions is in charge of the sound production and lighting for each event, and Main Gate Square staff set up the staging and seating. Local talent is recognized at the event, and with locally owned merchants in

attendance, it’s a great fit, according to Siuda. Most performances last 90 minutes, and paired with delicious food from nearby local restaurants, the evenings provide a great way to begin the weekend, according to Visit Tucson. “There are crowd favorites we invite every year or two and we also try to find new talent as well,” Siuda said about the performers. Jonas Hunter Productions is responsible for putting together an “intriguing schedule” featuring Tucson’s broad range of music styles including smooth, modern and Latin jazz. The coordinators of The Friday Night Live Jazz Concert series hope the event offers a reason “to go out and enjoy their Tucson summer nights.” There are two jazz acts remaining this summer, according to the Main Gate Square website. July 27 will feature Chillie Willie Groove, a band that aims to give Tucson a taste of Percussion Jazz/Funk. Chillie has played with countless salsa, smooth jazz, funk, soul rhythm and blues bands and now gospel bands, according to the Main Gate Square website. The last opportunity of the season to come to The Friday Night Live Jazz Concert series is August 10, where the Rezonators will perform a set with a New Orleans Brass Band flare. The Main Gate Square website said that “The Rezonators Brass Band is here to take music to the streets of Tucson when and wherever possible. Along with drums, you get a double dose of saxophone, trumpet, trombone and tuba.” The Friday Night Live Jazz Concert series event is free and parking validation is offered in the Tyndall garage so all can come and check out the festivities.

RETURNING PLAYERS READY FOR THEIR MOMENT Lower expectations have Wildcats motivated to prove doubters wrong BY ALEC WHITE @AlecWhite_UA
W
ith the start of the new season closer than the end of the previous year, there is a stark difference in build-up for the 2018-19 Arizona men’s basketball campaign. This year, there will be no top-three preseason ranking and the expectations of living up to it. Gone is the “Final Four or Bust” mentality as well as the possibility of having a No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick on the roster. It’s a fresh start in which the only thing for players to focus on is just playing Arizona basketball. Speaking for the first time since the double-digit loss to Buffalo in the NCAA Tournament, a few returning players don’t mind the lack of attention and hype the team has gotten this offseason. “I know we’re under the radar,” sophomore guard Brandon Randolph said. “I’ve been under the radar my whole life, so this is nothing new. I love surprising people and I think it’s going to be great.” Another player who is upbeat about UA’s potential is junior Chase Jeter. The 6’11” center sat out last year after transferring from Duke, but from the bench he saw how returning players such Randolph, Emmanuel Akot and others grew over the course of the season. “A lot of guys we have can really fill it up, can really score and can really play,” Jeter said. “And because of people’s roles last year, not everyone got a chance to see that. A lot of people will be in for a surprise with this year’s team.” The starting five from a year ago have all departed and the mass exodus gives way to competition for playing time. “Everyone is going to work their hardest just to fill those spots. Everyone is going to do what they do best and also improve,” Randolph said. “I think people are sleeping on us because all of them left, but we know what we need to do.” Randolph’s backcourt teammate Alex Barcello said everyone is hungry for success after many returners only played sparingly last season. Players like Barcello and Randolph were used to being “the man” on their high school teams, so playing a reduced role gave them a needed change of perspective. “I want to win, I want to win badly,” Barcello said. “No matter what role, I want to help this team win.” As usual, the returners will have to take the newcomers under their wings but the new Wildcats have made a good impression thus far. Randolph, who lives with freshmen Brandon Williams and Omar Thielemans, said the incoming recruits and the transfers have come in ready to battle each SIMON ASHER | THE DAILY WILDCAT practice, bringing a high energy level to workouts. With the same first name, Randolph and Williams have had to find ways to differentiate themselves on the court to avoid confusion. The solution: nicknames. “We call him [Williams] ‘B-Will’ and they call me ‘Slim’,” Randolph said. The 2018-19 starring cast for Arizona won’t have the typical A-list names you would expect, like an Aaron Gordon or a Deandre Ayton. However, that should allow players a chance to develop over multiple seasons. For the time being, the national spotlight has turned its gaze from Tucson. But these Wildcats don’t expect it to stay that way for long. COURTESY ARIZONA ATHLETICS

RANDOLPH LOOKS TO SOAR After a season primarily on the sidelines, Randolph looks to take on a much bigger role for Arizona BY DAVID SKINNER @DavidWSkinner_
I
ncoming sophomore Brandon Randolph will try to make a statement as he takes on a much more important role in Arizona’s upcoming season. In all likelihood, Randolph will be looked upon as one of the main scoring outlets for this young and unproven Wildcats basketball squad after a freshman season that was lacking in opportunities. This newfound role has come with questions and doubts as to how the Wildcats will be able to compete at the level they have become accustomed to during the Sean Miller era. Those doubts and questions haven’t gone unnoticed by Randolph. “To be honest with you, it’s cool,” Randolph said as he fought off cracking a smile. “It’s actually making me kind of hyped because I can’t wait till we surprise people. I love doing that.” After a season that saw the
Wildcats win the Pac-12 regular season title, while also capturing the tournament title a couple weeks later in Las Vegas, the ‘Cats season came to a sudden and disappointing halt in Boise as they were outhustled and outgunned by the University of Buffalo. Inevitably, it left many Wildcat fans uneasy over this year’s prospects, especially due to the lack of star power on paper. Randolph looks to take over the reins from a team that lost multiyear starters in Rawle Alkins and Allonzo Trier, who brought a veteran presence to the team while also taking up most of the guard minutes. With those two gone, the leash on Randolph just got considerably longer. Randolph will now occupy a much more crucial role for the Wildcats, and the transition is one that he is completely prepared for. He said the rest of his teammates feel the same way.
“I know we lost our entire starting five,” Randolph said. “But we know that we are going to be great this year. And people are sleeping on us because all of them left, but we know what we need to do,” Randolph said. For the 6’6” shooting guard, he’s got the ability to shoot well – he shot 33 percent (15-46) from 3-point range last year – but the key focus for Randolph will be his development on the other side of the court. “Just to basically get better on defense,” Randolph said. “I know what I need to do to just be great this year ... defense is something I definitely need to improve on.” As the new sophomore scoring option looks to grow in his new role, the lessons he learned from watching on the bench and experiencing his freshman year will be invaluable to the Wildcats’ season.

2018 SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE BY AMIT SYAL @ASyal21
The upcoming Arizona men’s basketball schedule is nearly complete. The program announced its nonconference schedule last week and the Pac-12 released weekly pairings for the conference slate of games. Arizona’s opponent and date for the regular-season opener, however, are yet to be determined. UA’s non-conference schedule should not be too unwieldy for the ‘Cats. After the season opener at McKale Center, sometime between November 4 and 10, the Wildcats host Cal Poly and UTEP. Home games are marked in bold. In Maui, Arizona faces a field with some very strong and established programs, including Auburn, Duke, Gonzaga, Illinois, Iowa State, San Diego State and Xavier. After the three-game trip to Hawai’i, Arizona returns home to McKale Center. UA’s only matchups with the Los Angeles schools take place away from McKale Center. Then it’s off to Tempe to face a rising ASU program. After the Wildcats lost to Washington last season with a buzzer-beater by the Huskies Dominic Green, Arizona is looking to avenge itself. Arizona ends its regular season with its second matchup against the Sun Devils, but this time in the Wildcats’ home arena at McKale Center. The second half of Arizona’s schedule can either make or break its 2018-2019 season, and only time will tell what will happen to the topof-the-conference team.

POLICE BEAT BY EDDIE CELAYA @reporterEddie
Hit the road, Jack A University of Arizona Police Officer responded to the area of East Grant Road and North Mountain Avenue, Saturday, July 7, at approximately 8:40 p.m., where a man reported being thrown out of a car traveling 50 miles per hour. The officer located the man, who appeared intoxicated. During a physical evaluation, the officer discovered the man had a cut on the right side of his face, above and below his eye. There were also what appeared to be dirt scuff marks high on his right shoulder blade. The officer described the man as angry and belligerent when speaking. Tucson Fire Department arrived and treated the man’s cut. Eventually, TFD cleared the man, who they also noted to be angry and belligerent. The officer then asked if the man wanted to file a police report. Instead, the man gathered his belongings and walked away, refusing to file a report. About a minute after the man had left the scene, Tucson Police Department officers arrived. They informed the UAPD officer they had received a call from a Lyft driver earlier in the evening. The Lyft driver wanted to report a passenger for sniffing a white, powdery substance in the back of his vehicle. The driver had reportedly stopped his car and asked the passenger to exit. As the driver attempted to drive away, the passenger reportedly grabbed the door’s handle. The driver did not stop. After hearing this, the UAPD officer provided his business card containing the case number for the incident to the TPD officers and left the scene. Can I buy a vowel? A UAPD bike patrol officer responded to the scene of graffiti after he noticed markings on the east side of the Henry Koffler Building on July 8. At around 8:30 p.m., the officer reported that some sort of black marker had been used to write on a steel beam adjacent to one of the building’s staircases. While the officer could make out the first letter, an uppercase “P,” the middle two letters were indecipherable. The last letter appeared to be a “B,” the officer reported. The officer proceeded to take photos of the graffiti. Upon returning to campus headquarters, the officer alerted facilities management to the location of the graffiti for removal. No word on the final determination of the graffiti’s meaning.

Solar cars run on Tucson sun BY JORDAN ANDERSON @DailyWildcat
Around 325 people, including participants, spectators and students gathered for the Solar Technology Showcase at the University of Arizona Tech Park at Rita Ranch on Saturday, July 21. The event showcased some of the nation’s most tech-savvy high school students involved in solar-powered car challenges. Bruce Wright, associate vice president of Tech Parks Arizona, said the event was great for putting student-made technology on display. “The overall goal is to increase recognition of the solar car program,” Wright said. “We also aim to excite the students participating as well as ones who want to get involved.” According to its website, the Solar Car Challenge functions as a way for high school students around the nation to demonstrate what they are capable of doing. It is a non-profit, educational organization that holds events around the country, like the one at UA Tech Park. After the day’s races, every team presented their solar-powered vehicles to a waiting audience. Prior to the presentation, Logan Wood, captain of The Iron Lines team from Greenville High School in Greenville, Texas talked about how he enjoyed Tucson. “It is great to be here. My team and I are very excited,” Wood said. “All 14 of my teammates have been working hard, and it is so exciting to show the audience our car. We were named the national champions last year, and as captain I want to be able maintain the championship throne.” Due to the event layout, spectators were able to focus on each unique kart. Different styles, colors, motors, brakes, batteries and sizes of carts were on hand. The most popular display seemed to be the eco-friendly go-karts, which created a huddle of people interested both in the technology and the teams’ presentations. Event coordinator Lehman Marks, who sets up and runs solar car events nationwide, reflected on the meaning of the showcase. “The overall goal here is to have everyone feel like a winner,” he said. “This is the 23rd national Solar Car Challenge so we want to challenge our participants but also make sure everyone feels like they have already won.”
JORDAN ANDERSON | THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE SOLAR TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE is a co-ed go-kart event featuring the nation’s most skilled high school programs in a solar car competition, with the Tucson race taking place at Tech Park Arizona Rita Ranch. Spectators gathered around the karts after the race to get more information on each team.
JORDAN ANDERSON | THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE SOLAR TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE featured a collaboration between UA students and experts of the solar go-kart community.
Marks mentioned that the skills high school students pick up by participating in the challenge translate well to certain disciplines at colleges and universities. “A lot of these high school engineers do, in fact, enter college majoring mechanical engineering, civil engineering or electrical engineering,” he said.
And for students who might not be interested in those hard-science based majors? Marks isn’t worried. “A lot of our participants may continue on with their college careers studying in law, communication or journalism, etcetera. These young individuals all have a unique talent of their own.”

romanticized on social media. It’s depicted as a completely carefree activity. Let me just say this: International travel is not for the faint of heart. It is both physically and mentally exhausting. Jet lag is not a made-up condition. Being on a plane for what can be as long as 10-plus hours takes a toll on your body and experiencing some degree of sickness is to be expected. I also did not know that public restrooms are rare in many European countries. Water is also not readily available for free the way it is in the U.S. The tourist attractions and museums are extremely packed. The Louvre was so busy it was hard to walk around in. When I tried to get a glimpse of the Mona Lisa, it was shrouded by a crowd of people all trying to get closer. Besides the physical aspects, traveling so far away from home and loved ones is also emotionally taxing. This is something the travel blogs do not discuss openly: There is a lonely side to traveling. You spend all day among people who speak a different language and don’t understand you as clearly as you wish they did. It was a humbling experience. I encourage all students to take on this challenge because the experiences you get, the friendships you make and the revelations you have teach you a great deal about the world outside your door. — Nicole Gleason found her trip to be magical and exciting.

ike many college students, I wanted the experience of traveling abroad this summer. I had heard all about the benefits of travel — how mind-opening and life altering it can be — and as someone who was born and raised in Tucson, I had only ever traveled within the U.S. and Mexico. I began to realize the world is so much bigger and, while I love the Southwest, I wanted to expand my understanding of the world. I decided to take a risk. I called a travel tour agency specializing in tours for young people ages 18-35, and I spent roughly $3,200 on a round-trip plane ticket, hotel stay and a guided tour experience. I settled on a trip to Paris and London, two cities that possess a lot of old world charm and culture and are full of sight-seeing options, exotic food and beverages, beautiful architecture and plenty of history. I was thrilled. My experience ultimately taught me many things about the reality of travel — something a lot of the travel blogs casually gloss over. Yes, travel is amazing. I cannot describe how beautiful the Eiffel Tower is at midnight, when the lights begin to flash and it
sparkles on a warm summer night. But the reality is that travel is more nuanced than what Instagram blogs portray. In London, I visited Westminster Abbey, a church in which many monarchs and historical figures in British history are buried. It is the resting place of brilliant minds such as Isaac Newton, Charles Dickens and Chaucer — and it even contains the ashes of the late Stephen Hawking. I also got to take a boat cruise down the Seine river in Paris. It is the same river Joan of Arc’s ashes were thrown in. Standing on the top of the boat, I could see the bustling city of Paris, alive and well. Tourists held their maps, trying to find their destinations. Locals sat at both sides of the river, drinking wine and eating cheese with bread while looking over the water. Couples kissed and held hands. While there, I also experienced a three-course meal with foods that are considered somewhat exotic back home. I tried escargot — snails — for the first time and frog’s legs (which taste like chicken, by the way). I also visited a French Cabaret. Although many people would understand that there would be some nudity, I was still not expecting it. So, when the dancers came onstage topless, I was a little shocked. But the French are comfortable with nudity and human sexuality. There was also a trapeze artist who swung around right above our table. His act was so daring that I worried he would slip and fall. Finally, a singer belted out “La Vie En Rose,” one of my favorite songs which could actually sum up my trip. I learned quickly that travel is something that is often
