Key dates for UA sports New year, new people, newspaper BY JACK COOPER @jackcooper23

BY NICHOLAS TRUJILLO @fantastic_nick

I

n an unsurprising swoop, the Daily Wildcat has ended up on the third floor of the University Services building. A new office means a chance for a new culturue to form, like I talked about in my last letter, but more importantly it’s a chance to become a new paper. We won’t be changing anything big, some minor changes as to how we utilize social media and changing the way things work in the office, but you’ll still be recieving the student-centered news that the Daily Wildcat have provided for 120 years. It’s like when you cleaned your room when you were little. You cleaned and re-arranged your room and all of the sudden, it was a new you. New summer, new room, new newspaper. One of the bigger things I want to start is the chance to hear from the people we serve. I want to know what you our readers think of this student-run publication. I want to know how you read it, what you read and, more importantly, why you read it. Even if you aren’t a student, if you happen to be a parent of a student, I want to know what you think. I want to dive into how the consumption of news is changing and I can only do that by focusing on how you, the student or parents, consume this news. My email address, on page three, is

always open for comments about what I am doing right or wrong. I may be attracting unwelcomed solicitors or even trolls, but I think I have the tenacity to sift through it all to find the constructive criticism. Lastly, the new room, like I’ve said before is a chance to start the Daily Wildcat on its inteded direction, which is an online focus. In order to do that we need a fresh new space. I like our new newsroom. It has windows, finally, it doesn’t have cubicles, it’s open to all reporters and my favorite thing of all, it’s going to have new people. This doesn’t mean that I don’t like the old people. It means that I am excited to take on the new batch of reporters who are hungry for stories and cultivate them into aspiring young journalists. Many may think that you should only be at the Daily Wildcat for a year or two and then “grow up.” But realistically, this is a way for some students to learn better. For those who want hands-on experience, the Daily Wildcat is a haven. These new people who want that hands-on experience will have new ways of thinking about a story and could help us show it online in different ways. The endgame is to have an engaging presence online. The previous Editor-in-Chief Jasmine Demmers laid down the ground work, and now it just has to be taken further.

Another season of Arizona Athletics is less than a month away. Football, Volleyball and Soccer are all set to open their seasons in August. Here are some of the most important dates for each team.

Football: The Season Opener is Aug 24 at Hawaii. The Wildcats are 5-0 all time against Hawaii with the last meeting in 2016 in Tucson. Sept. 14 vs Texas Tech. This is the first time since 2012 that Arizona will play a team from a power five conference before Pac-12 play begins. Nov. 2 vs. Oregon State. The homecoming game this year is in early November which means the weather in Tucson should be beautiful. Nov. 23 vs. Utah. Utah was picked to be the Pac-12 champion this year by many people throughout the country. They’ll have to come to Tucson in late November during the Wildcats’ senior day for what could be a big game for both teams. Nov. 30 at ASU The game that needs no introduction will be played on the Saturday after Thanksgiving for the third year in a row. Soccer: Season Opener Aug. 22 vs. Long Beach State. A year after hosting an NCAA tournament game, the Wildcats will look to pick up where they left off. Oct. 3 vs. UCLA and Oct 6. vs USC. Both of the Southern California teams finished in the top 10 of last year’s NCAA rankings. Having these games back-to-back will be tough for the Wildcats, but getting to play both at home is a huge confidence-booster. Nov. 3 at Stanford. The Cardinals made it to the Final Four last year and finished second in RPI in the entire country. This will be a tough game for the ‘Cats, but it’s also their last away game of the season. Nov. 8 vs. ASU. Arizona hasn’t lost to their

neighbors to the north since 2015 and will look to keep that streak going when they take on the Sun Devils for senior day. Volleyball: Season Opener Aug. 30 vs Appalachian State. The Wildcats will host another Cactus Classic to open their season. Sept. 6 vs. Nebraska in San Diego. Arizona will then travel to San Diego for the SDSU/USD invitational where they’ll take on 2018 national runner-up Nebraska. Sept. 26 at ASU. The Pac-12 schedule will start with a trip north against the Sun Devils. Arizona hasn’t lost to ASU since 2016 and has only dropped 1 set in their last four matches. Nov. 9 vs. Stanford. The reigning national champions will come to Tucson and look to keep an impressive streak alive. The Cardinals haven’t lost to the Wildcats in Tucson since 2005. Nov. 30 vs ASU. Senior day vs. ASU. Nothing else needs to be said.

CAMPUS GUIDE| WHAT TO READ

Things to read that aren’t textbooks BY JAY WALKER SADIE CRUZ @jayelizabethw @SadieMCruz

With the number of textbooks, handouts or PDFs that college students are required to read, it’s easy to feel fatigued by reading. As book lovers ourselves, we know how hard it can be to find the time and the motivation to pick up a book that isn’t vital to our classes. With this list, we hope to ease the struggle of finding the right book to read when you need a break from your mandatory reading list. “Scythe” — Neal Shusterman This YA dystopian novel is the first of the Scythe Arc trilogy. The human race has finally conquered death, but with figuring out immortality, they would need a way to control the population. With Scythes being the population regulators and a sentient AI leader, teens Citra and Rowan learn what it means to feel in an empty society. This book, while a bit longer, is a quick read from start to finish, keeping you on your toes with every word. “The Dry” — Jane Harper For those with a hankering for adult fiction/ mystery, this is the book for you. With an insight to small-town Australian culture, “The Dry” follows two murders: one recent family murder-suicide and one from years back when a teenage girl went missing. Solving the murder of his best friend while dealing with ridicule from the town for his suspected involvement in the historic murder, main character Aaron Falk takes us through a fast-paced and eloquently written exploration of small towns and motive. “Six of Crows” — Leigh Bardugo A beautifully built world of magic and crime, “Six of Crows” is one of the best books I have read in a long time. This book is like a magicinfused “Ocean’s 11,” but better. On the heist of the century, Kaz and his crew navigate the

rough political climate of the Grisha universe in order to save the inventor of a drug that could take wars to a new level. This book is beautifully written and a great escape from the looming college world around us. “Name of the Wind” — Patrick Rothfuss A fantasy novel that keeps readers on their toes as they read about two tales, one of Kote and the other of Kvothe. While the same person, they have lived completely different lives. Kote tells his life as Kvothe, the King Killer, and we follow him through his life on the streets, his obsession with the Chandrian and his trials and tribulations at sympathy (magic) school. Kvothe, bright as hell but with no common sense, takes the reader throughout the eloquently hand-crafted world that Rothfuss created. This book transports you to a different time and, while long, flies from start to finish. “One of Us is Lying” — Karen M. McManus This YA mystery follows five very different high school students who end up stuck in detention together. By the end of the day, only four make it out alive. This book is full of unexpected twists and turns that will have your head reeling by the end of it. If you’re looking for a page-turner that you won’t be able to put down until you’re done, this book is for you. “The Hidden Power of F*cking Up” — The Try Guys In their debut novel, viral internet sensations The Try Guys — Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld and Eugene Lee Yang — embrace the powers of failure. Listen, college is rough. There are going to be times where you try your hardest and you end up failing. This book teaches you that it is okay to fail and that failure is just a stepping stone to learning. In the book, The Try Guys tackle challenges in their personal lives to make positive changes for themselves. And they fail. A lot. But they get back up and try again. They try, they learn and

they grow, things they wouldn’t have done if they hadn’t failed. If you need the motivation to make changes in your life or the reassurance that failing is okay, give “The Hidden Power of F***ing Up” a shot. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” — Stephen Chbosky This novel by Stephen Chbosky follows narrator Charlie, a high school boy who doesn’t really fit in with any crowd, but he eventually finds a group of friends that end up changing his life. Charlie goes through many ups and downs trying to figure out who he is, a feeling many students — high school and college alike — experience. This book is perfect for anyone who is trying to find their way. “Between Shades of Gray” — Ruta Sepetys This historical fiction novel takes place during World War II and explores the treatment of the Lithuanian people from the perspective

of a teenage girl. Taken from her home with her family, young Lina must fight to survive the harsh conditions of Stalin’s regime. This incredibly harrowing story of hope, bravery, family and love is written in a simplistic style that is easy for anyone to get lost in. “We Were Liars” — E. Lockhart Cadence Sinclair had it all — the illusions of a perfect life, family and romance — until one summer at her grandfather’s island, where a freak accident changed everything. Two years later, Sinclair returns to her grandfather’s island with her family, trying to uncover the truth she’s forgotten about the summer of her accident. This novel is captivating, hooking readers in with the mystery of what happened that fateful summer. All is revealed in an unexpected plot twist that will leave you shocked.

CAMPUS GUIDE | PRES. Q&A

President Robbins talks Campus Conversations, UA research and more BY CLAUDE AKINS NICHOLAS TRUJILLO AND@DailyWildcat

Daily Wildcat: What can students expect from the next Campus Conversations? Robert C. Robbins: Well, I think that it was a process that was very passionate, very engaged with the entire university community and family. I think it was something that allowed us to take a hard look at how we were doing things at the university and how we relate to the community and where we are. This university, I think people don’t understand how great it really is and how unique the setting we’re in is for them. So, having an understanding of not only how great the university is, that we’re great in research and we’re now with the strategic plan, really focusing on student success. I’ve had a lot of conversations with the president of University of Texas, El Paso, who has been there for 31 years before, but intensely after this event occurred. And I’ve learned a lot. I’ve been educated, I’ve grown a lot to understand how important the issue of the lives that our students live so close to the border were inextricably linked to the border because we were the closest [Association of American Universities] University [Hispanic Serving Institution]. I think that’s really important for us to keep in mind that, you know, you’re measured by how you treat your most vulnerable population, and there are many vulnerable populations and marginalized populations, not only with our students, but staff and even faculty. And so, I think this was ... a silver lining that it brought focus to issues that we need to address. So, there’s a whole task force that John Dudas and Selena Ramirez is working on, and I think there are ... eight working groups, and it deals with relationship with border patrol. I’ll have to say that they have ... been engaging with us. They’ve been talking to us about ... how they comport themselves on campus. Whether they come in uniforms, whether they let our law enforcement officials know when they’re gonna be on campus. There’s a committee working on free speech and civil discourse and what that means around HSI status around native students. But I think overall it was it was an episode that I think we’ll all grow from and become more healthy as a university as we realize that there are DACA students, there are undocumented students that that are part of our family and we need to be sensitive to issues that are triggers for them and their safety. My number one responsibility [is] that everybody here ... whether it’s a visitor or someone who

As the new semester approaches, The Daily Wildcat sat down with returning President Robert C. Robbins to discuss free speech, free college, student housing and the progress of his strategic plan comes here every day, but most importantly students, have a safe environment. And I have been awakened, and I understand the issues a lot better. I understood them in the abstract, but it’s like having a law passed. Okay, you understand that law up until it gets challenged in the courts. It doesn’t really have context and meaning. So I’m pretty proud of how we’ve gone about with the leadership of Marla Franco and Andrea Romero and our entire department of Mexican American Studies with Ron Wilson, with the people who stepped up. And I think that we’re going to be in a lot better shape moving forward on the campus to make it a healthier culture and environment for students, staff, faculties and visitors. I think we’ve done a really good job of serving the Latino community. We can always do better, but I mean before I got here, I can’t take any credit for this, but I can help us get better. Getting the HSI designation is a big deal and getting the seal of excellent. I mean, that was an invited thing and it wasn’t about how many students she has, it’s how you serve the students. So it was not me, you know, bragging about it. This was a very competitive process that Marla Franco and her whole team, provided all of the documentation, but they decided this, not us. And it was about serving the students and serving the community. So that’s something we should all be very proud of. DW: Is there a way to counteract the luxury dorms being built off property? RCR: I think ... I would have more dorms on our ground that we oversaw and ran and were more affordable. I think that it’s a part of my vision and plan moving forward for the future. The problem is we are, unlike ASU, very landlocked. We’re thinking about a daycare center, and every piece of dirt on this campus is very precious. I had been told ... there’s a culture where [students] prefer living off campus, because they don’t have to have the regulations of the university and all that stuff. But its less expensive. So that’s where I want to focus: Can we build dorms that would compete with those market forces? That would be my goal beause I think the data is very, very clear that if you live [off] campus, even though the campus is one street separated, we have no control of what goes on there. Not that we have

a lot of control... out here, but it gives us the opportunity to program and to build living and learning communities that I think the data is very clear on. If you live on campus, you’re going to have better success. DW: What is the UA doing to attract low income and first-generation students? RCR: Well, we’re purposefully going after financial aid as part of the big campaign that we’ll launch — is we’re going after scholarships for students. We’ve never done that here. We’re actively partnering with ... not only our local high schools, Sunny Side [School District] and [Tucson Unified School District], but also the Phoenix community to try to make access attractive for students and make it affordable. So the issue is going to be to go out and raise as much money as we can for scholarships. Man, I would love to see us raise $1 billion in scholarship endowment and then we would be able to supply students with more opportunity, for instance, Pell [Grant] eligible students have free tuition, Native American students have free tuition. Those are the kinds of things that I think I’m focused on. DW: With talks of free tuition buzzing around the nation, what is your take on free tuition? RCR: Well, you know the chancellor at UC Berkeley, who I respect greatly, I’ve

read a comment she made recently about: “Somebody’s got to pay for it, right?” So, the question is gonna be who pays for it? And I think ... I’ve always drawn from the analogy between healthcare and higher education. I’ve seen a lot of similarities that the healthcare system really wasn’t designed for the patients. I don’t think the current university system was actually designed for students, but in progressive and enlightened hospital systems are focused on patient-centered care, listening to the patient, providing things they need. I believe we have an opportunity in higher education to focus on student-centric activities of the university ... And you know, I’ve gotten in trouble by calling students our customers ... they’re not our customers. They’re our partners. It’s our responsibility to listen to students and provide them not just what we think is good for them, but what they want and what they’re asking us for. So, the answer to a free university for everyone, that’d be fantastic. How do you pay for it? In my opinion, it is raised taxes. Well I think that’s obviously a way to do it. But do I think that that’s something that’s going to happen? I do not believe [free college is going to happen], just like I don’t think Medicare for all is going to happen. I think there should be

ROBBINS FROM PAGE 8

some national health system, and I think Biden has probably got it about right that you need to preserve the option for private insurance. But everybody should have access to healthcare. Everybody should have access to higher education. DW: Next steps for your Strategic Plan? RCR: The strategic plan has five pillars. In my opinion ... it’s an AAU one of only 60 AAUs in the country and that’s because we’ve got incredible research, whether it be the leading astronomy and space science program, the leading optical science program, the only university with two medical schools, got the top dance program of any university-based dance program. But as important as that is, I obviously am very supportive of research, and some major part of the strategic plan, by far the most initiatives, almost half — maybe over half — of the initiatives are focused on student success, and that is really important. Whether it be financial aid programs, our mental health programs, our ability to combat food insecurity, housing insecurity and once people get here, how do we make sure that they’re successful, that they find their community and that they thrive. And so that’s why we’re focused so much on student success because the fact is that if you look at our peers, our retention rate is in the low 80s and all of our peers are in the high 80s to low 90s, and we just gotta do a better job of helping students who come here be successful. DW: What kind of research is being done at the UA and how important is it? RCR: Yeah, so the areas that we’re focusing on in the strategic plan are astronomy and planetary science, because we’re the

number one program and we’re gonna, you know, double down on that. Human health, the environment. And then I call it data network computer science information that ... I talk a lot about the Fourth Industrial Revolution and how there’s a convergence of physical, biological and data sciences coming together. And it’s moving very rapidly. So I feel pretty strongly that we need competencies for finances for personal health, cultural competency. So we learned from each other and, and I think, you know, one of the greatest strengths we have is our diversity at the University of Arizona. But we also need to be competent digitally because everything that almost everybody does, no matter where you are in the world, even in Third World nations, a lot of the economy and a lot of the communications, a lot of the information, comes from the digital side of things. But it’s all converging together. And so I think that we need to be focused in those areas because that’s not only some of the areas we’re good at, but it’s also where, you know, to use the Gretzky hockey analogy, it’s where the puck’s going, not where the puck is today. And it’s moving very quickly. So, it sounds very STEMish and very tech-y. But at the same time, Raytheon, Caterpillar, local employers, you know, fortune 100 local multinational companies they assume that you’re going to have the technical skills of being able to do engineering or coding or whatever is going to be what they really are pushing us on and where I think there’s a huge opportunity for our students is for us to help develop on the the life skill sides around leadership, around communication, around critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, working together to be disruptive-innovative problem solvers. So, my hope is that when people decide to choose the University of Arizona, it’s because of that complete package where we are, the unique culture that we have, that we are serving all of our students and we’re preparing you for the jobs or graduate

studies or whatever professional roles that you want to have going forward to prepare you for the fast moving Fourth Industrial Revolution economy and how that’s all gonna ... manifest itself. DW: What is the UA doing to bolster the humanities and social sciences? RCR: So that last part that I talked about, leadership, critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, problem solving. All of that happens in the in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the College of Humanities. And I would say AP Duran is the most Fourth-Industrial-Revolution-guy here ... He’s thinking about how humanities is going to be part of this Fourth Industrial Revolution. But there’s so much of it. I mean ... if you go to a restaurant or you watch people ... everybody’s got their face right here. It’s high tech. We all are trying to struggle to keep up with the high tech world. But what’s lost in that is that personal connection and having people learn skills about how you integrate the personal touch, and that’s why I said all the employers, they want people who understand leadership, about how to have civil discourse, how to listen well, how to critically think, to creatively think, to communicate, to work in teams, because most of all of this stuff is going to be teamwork. And ... if you can’t have a mutual respect for every single person as an individual, no matter where they come from, no matter where their values are and what they’re thinking, you’ve got to be able to work with them. Because you know — you gotta be able to work with someone in China or Africa or, you know, down the street. I think that all comes from SBS, Humanities and in our general education curriculum, which we are working with all stakeholders across the university to redo and to add value to. — For a full version of the interview visit dailywildcat.com

CAMPUS GUIDE | RELIGIOUS RESOURCE

A guide to religious centers around campus BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs

The University of Arizona has a diverse community of students with varying beliefs. This guide is for new students who would like to explore their identity, stay connected to their spirituality and/or find communities of like-minded people at the UA. Campus Christian Center 715 N. Park Ave. The Campus Christian Center welcomes students to their “home away from home” — a safe space to worship, do homework, share meals or just hang out. The CCC houses five different Christian ministries — Episcopal Campus Ministry and Canturbury Club, Lutheran Campus Ministry, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod Campus Ministry, Presbyterian Campus Ministry and United Methodist Wesley Foundation — all recognized by the Arizona Student Union Association. The shared space includes a kitchen, a lounge, a conference room, offices and a central dining area for community meals. Free Wi-Fi is also available. Schedules for dinners, worship, bible

studies, fellowship, service projects, social activities and retreats can be found on the CCC website. Tucson Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Institute of Religion 1333 E. 2nd St. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints Institutes of Religion provides educational programs to young adults ages 18 to 30 with more than 350,000 students enrolled in nearly 2,700 locations worldwide. According to its website, the institute aims to strengthen students’ relationship with Jesus Christ through the comprehensive study of scripture and modern-day prophets. Students hoping to find community in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and study religious texts are welcome to take classes toward graduating from the institute. According to the institute website, “students may find guidance and direction from the Holy Ghost. This guidance can help them make important life decisions as students learn together and strengthen one another.” Hillel Foundation 1245 E. 2nd St. The Hillel Foundation at the UA exists to

build a “vibrant, diverse, meaningful and empowered” Jewish community for students to engage in “on their terms.” Whether a student is looking for activities, community service, religion or a place to safely explore their Jewish identity, the Hillel Foundation works to offer as many opportunities as possible, including trips to Israel. Shabbat services are held every other Friday evening, and students have a choice of attending Reform or Conservative services or a non-service alternative, all of which are free to attend for students and followed by a kosher dinner. Holidays are also celebrated at Hillel as they fall in the Jewish calendar. Islamic Center of Tucson 901 E. 1st St. The Muslim Students Association of the UA works to build community between its members and promote “friendly relations between Muslim and non-Muslim students,” according to the club’s goals as listed on Campus Labs. The Islamic Center of Tucson was founded by Muslim students from the UA in the 1960s. Now, it serves as a prayer space and

community center for the diverse community of Muslims in Tucson but “remains faithful to its roots” with the students of the UA. The center is open to anybody seeking to practice Islam and to non-Muslim visitors hoping to learn about the religion and the evergrowing Muslim community in Tucson. St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center 1615 E. Second St. The St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center serves as both a Catholic parish for the Tucson community and as a club for UA students. According to the website, the center “seeks to allow Catholic students to attend a public university with an environment and community that supports their Catholic faith.” The Newman Center is open to the public and offers several meeting and lounge spaces with free Wi-Fi. “All are welcome,” said Sister Mary Virginia Leach. The center is active in social outreach and volunteer work, and the more academically inclined are also welcome to formal classes at the center. “We hope there is something here for everyone,” Leach said.

CAMPUS GUIDE | PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER

A simple guide to organizing your college life BY JAY WALKER @jayelizabethw

F

inding the right organization system for college was a massive struggle for me. In high school, having a specific binder for each class was the perfect system. Then I got to college, and I was the only kid with specific binders. Not only that, but I found my binder-per-class system was sort of a pain when having to walk a mile across campus. After a trial and error semester of using notebooks and folders, which resulted in many lost papers and constantly grabbing the wrong notebook, I found what I consider to be the perfect system for my college organization. Since I have the same groups of classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and then a different group on Tuesday and Thursday, I have resorted to one binder per class-day clusters. Within my binders, I find that using divider tabs and folders helps me to divide

my classes and subsections within classes, such as notes or handouts. Using a folder to identify which class is which helps eliminate the amount of dividers being used and helps to clarify which class I am looking at. For example, in a Monday/Wednesday/ Friday binder, I would have three different colored folders to represent the three classes I have that day. From there, I would have several dividers after one folder to divide my notes from other class materials, such as quizzes or handouts. That system repeats after each folder in my binder. A key part of being organized is finding the best organizational tools. After having shopped at a plethora of office supply stores, I have narrowed down my personal favorite places to buy school supplies. The Target back-to-school section has yet to fail me when it comes to finding what I need. Both stores always have Five Star reinforced filler paper, sticky notes and Paper Mate InkJoy pens. Office Depot has never let me down in regards to plastic binders, sturdy folders and easy-to-use dividers. The supplies that I buy here not only last me the entire year, but they remain in good shape.

520.206.4500 KeepStrivingPima.com

Outside of binders, I am a strong believer in using calendars to help organize my academic and social life. Often times, I use both a handwritten agenda while also keeping a google calendar. Writing down due dates and seeing what I have going on for a specific day helps me feel more confident about organizing and arranging my social life. Having a different color pen or highlight on a computer helps me keep track of what types of things I have going on for one day. For example, if I see a lot of blue on one day I know I have a boatload of school work and shouldn’t schedule any hangouts with my friends. Keeping track of your academic times helps ensure that you can fit in your friend time. While binders are bulky, I find it a lot easier to stay organized and make sure I have the right materials for the days. Spotting a binder color or design is easier than spotting a specific colored notebook. Furthermore, I am much less likely to lose important papers with my binder system than I am with folders and notebooks. That being said, I know that this organization style isn’t the perfect fit for

everyone. For some, one giant notebook and one folder is the perfect solution. Even using a computer and folder may be the way to go. That being said, the one organization plan that won’t work is not having one. Avoid just shoving papers in your backpack and taking notes on random scraps of paper. A basic system is better than none at all. I guess what I’m trying to get at is take my organization style with a grain of salt. A big part of college is trying to find the perfect organization method for you. Do some research, ask people in your major or who are further along what they find to be their bestfit organization style. Adjusting to college can be hard, and a lot of things can be trial and error. If it takes you a few tries to find out how you like to organize your life in college, that’s okay. I hope that my method can act as a starting point for some of you, and if not, hopefully I have mentioned one way to organize that will work for you even if it didn’t work for me.

— Jay often embraces their inner Amy Santiago and cries over organization.

CAMPUS GUIDE | START VOTING

Starting the path to being politically active BY JAY WALKER @jayelizabethw

such as a driver’s license or birth certificate when registering. However, for those who cannot produce an approved document, one can become “federalonly” voter “if they swear or affirm under penalty of perjury on the registration form that they are a U.S. citizen,” Hebert said. In order for Arizona in-state students to vote in elections, they must be registered by 29 days before the election date. If an out-of-state student wants to vote in Arizona, they must be an Arizona resident for at least 29 days before the election. That being said, becoming a resident of Arizona can be tricky for out-of-state students. According to the UA Office of the Registrar, to become a resident, you must have physical presence for at least one year, financial dependence, means of income and ability to file taxes in Arizona. Once students and residents are registered to vote, it is important to keep an eye out on when election dates and where locations are. According to Hebert, voting polls are announced 20 days prior to election day. That being said, students not from

As college starts this year, local mayoral elections are occurring in August, and more state and federal elections are starting to peek over the horizon. That being said, getting engaged in politics can be difficult when away at college, in or out of state. According to the Huffington Post, students are up to 5 percent less politically active than they used to be over the last four decades. One way to combat this falling number is being registered to vote in your state. Murphy Hebert, the director of communications for the Arizona secretary of state, said in an email, that there are three ways that residents of Arizona can go about getting registered: online at www. servicearizona.edu, by mailing in a form and in person at a county recorder’s office. For those who are already Arizona residents, the process to register for voting is fairly simple. According to Hebert, you must simply supply proof of identification,

Arizona can still register to vote in their home state by declaring an absentee ballot. “Out-of-state students should contact their home state’s elections department or Secretary of State’s Office,” Hebert said in email about how out-ofstate students should go about registering to vote. Often times the application for an absentee ballot can be found on the home state’s election department website and can be sent to the students where they are. The only stipulation for absentee ballot voting is that it needs to be mailed back to the secretary of state’s office before election day. “College students can include their dorm address on their voter registration form, but not a forwarding address,” Hebert said via email. “Official election mail will not be mailed to forwarding addresses provided

by the Post Office. However, students can make a request to their recorder’s office to have their ballot mailed to a temporary address.” Registering to vote in your home state is a great way to get politically engaged in college. Participating in local and national politics can help boost one’s understanding of the world around them. As this next semester starts and a new wave of elections begins, consider getting politically involved and register to vote. Hebert said that the best advice he can give students who are looking to get politically involved is to make sure their voter information is up to date in advance and that if they have moved and/ or changed political parties, they should visit their recorder’s office to update their voter registration information.

CAMPUS GUIDE | HOW TO GREEK

Be a part of Greek Life — and how BY ARIDAY SUED @Aminaj__

G

reek Life… oh so very known but yet so many questions on how to get involved. At the University of Arizona, we are fortunate enough to have 53 fraternities and sororities on campus with three governing councils that the different groups belong to. Greek Life exists at the UA to strengthen students’ academic and co-curricular experience while also being immersed with developmental opportunities to create purpose in greek members all around. The United Sorority and Fraternity Council is home to 12 identity-based sororities and nine identity-based fraternities, including the Divine Nine fraternities and sororities. They require a minimum college GPA of 2.5, meaning that you can join after your first semester. If you’re looking to join a USFC

sorority, the process for joining can vary by organization. However, you can start by filling out a USFC interest form and they will be in contact with you regarding the events the council will host for those interested to meet and learn about the different chapters. The Panhellenic Council represents 13 sororities at the UA that belong to and are represented through the National Panhellenic Conference. The main way to join a Panhellenic sorority is to go through formal recruitment. Some sororities participate in informal recruitment in the spring. It is encouraged to go through formal recruitment with a minimum of a 3.0 core GPA from high school or a 2.75 college GPA if you have 12+ college units. Formal recruitment allows all the women interested to visit and interact with the women of each chapter. The week-long process consists of three sets. Throughout the week, the women will visit less chapters and attend longer events based on mutual likeness. By the end of the week, the women going through formal recruitment have to make a final decision by

Full Bar  Pick-Up & Take Out FREE WiFi  Door Dash Quick Lunch & Dinner Service Lunch Specials Every Day 11-3:30 Happy Hour M - F 3-5

choosing the Panhellenic sorority that they feel the most comfortable in. Set One is the first two days, where the first day each woman visits half the houses the first day then the other half the second.Set One is all about getting to know the women, the chapter and, most importantly, the women in the chapter getting to know how awesome you are. Set Two is also two days, and the potential new members will visit up to nine chapters and learn about the chapters’ philanthropy. Set Three, also known as “Sisterhood Day,” is where potential new members will visit up to six chapters and consists of house tours if the chapter has one. On the last day, known as “Preference,” the women will visit up to two chapters wearing more formal clothing to ultimately make their final decision afterwards. The women will receive their bids August 25 and celebrate with their group off campus. Final registration closes August 1. The Interfraternity Council is home to 27 national fraternities that require those going through formal recruitment in the fall or informal recruitment in the spring to have a

minimum 2.75 core GPA from high school or a 2.5 college GPA if you have 12+ college units. Similar to Panhellenic formal recruitment schedule, IFC has rounds instead of sets. Round One will be two days consisting of the first day visiting half of the IFC organizations and visiting the next half on day two. Round Two is two days where potential new members will visit up to 12 organizations between the two days. Throughout the week, similar to Panhellnic recruitment, men will visit less and less houses throughout the week and will have to choose the one that fits them best. The men will receive their bids on the first day of classes and celebrate with their chapters. Final registration closes August 1. It’s time for you to go greek if you want to cultivate lifelong friendships, serve your community, enhance yourself academically and be a part of something bigger than yourself! — Ariday is highly involved in the Greek community and absolutely couldn’t imagine her amazing experince at the UA without it.

CAMPUS GUIDE | A WILD RIDE

Get it done, it’s worth it BY MAYA NOTO @mayanoto58

F

reshman year of college symbolizes a part of the life journey — independence. Once Mom and Dad drive away, there is freedom past your dorm room door. But, before you run out and go catch it, there are a few things to remember. Freshman year is a test of willpower in the academic sense, but also in the social and personal senses as well. You find out who you are outside of the town you came from and the same old faces from home, and that process is filled with opportunity, but also hard lessons. Lucky for you, dear reader, I will impart these words of wisdom to you having just finished freshman year myself. I learned three lessons in my freshman year that transitioned me from being a child away from home to a young adult pursuing her studies. In Layman’s terms — I matured. After the room had been set up, my mattress

pad had risen and my mother had finished hugging me for the eighth time, my father took me aside. “A buddy of mine in college always told me the same thing,” he said. “We only have four years of the greatest adventure of your life. Don’t screw it up by failing out.” It is no mystery that as soon as the school year starts, so do the parties. “Sylly week,” as it has been dubbed, occurs during the first week of class, and for many it’s their first experience at college parties. Kevin Chu, a sophomore majoring in architecture, put into words the first of my three lessons. “Get your shit done first, then go out,” Chu said. Going out every night is not the norm, and frankly, those that do rough it and “frat” every night are to be saluted for their grit, but they will certainly fall short in the classroom. Remember, four years. Only four years before you go out into the real adult world where there’s bills to be paid, babies to be had and car payments. Go to class. “To thine own self be true,” Polonius once said. Although he was not a man of any moral value himself, the sentiment stretches

far past the bounds of Hamlet’s castle and serves as our second lesson. Love yourself. Know yourself. Know yourself and then you will find confidence. Once you establish that confidence, you stop questioning your decisions, because you are sure of yourself. True independence is knowing your values and abiding by them without being concerned of what “they” think. You can only control your own actions. That is the last and the most important of the three lessons. There will be times when your willpower to be true to yourself will be tested, generally in social situations. Know that at the end of the day all your actions have consequences to you and others, but also know that the actions of others are out of your hands. Congratulations on beginning your first year at the Universty of Arizona. It’s an amazing place filled with opportunity and adventure, truly. Remember to enjoy it, because, again, we only have four years. — Maya Noto is a sophomore studying journalism

CAMPUS GUIDE | GET BUSY

Step out of your comfort zone and enjoy it BY SELENA KUIKAHI @DailyWildcat

I

ncoming freshman, this one’s for you. How to better ensure your success at the University of Arizona: A preachy tidbit regarding autonomy, self-actualization and anxiety. Initially, I was going to construct some sort of listicle that’d cover overstated study habits, best places to eat that take CatCash and the coolest bathrooms around campus. However, in digging through my own memories of freshman year, I realized that those were some of the least important facets that contributed to my personal definition of success. Eventually, everyone finds their academic groove. The real, unspoken challenge for a new student is securing a sense of belonging and comfort in their new environment. Ensuring social success is just as important to the college experience as its academic counterpart.

If you’re coming into college with your high school friends, kudos. You might be less worried about assimilating into your new surroundings than someone who doesn’t have a flock to lean on. I’d still advise both versions of college-newbies to branch out beyond their comfort zone every once in a while. It’s absolutely easier said than done, and although the idea of throwing yourself into a civic moshpit can seem daunting, it’s fundamentally crucial. At times, it may feel like you’re not connecting with the people you’re supposed to connect with. Collegiate social circles can consist of clubs, honoraries, Greek Life, etc. The honest search for close friends can seem like an endless cycle of getting to know someone then realizing you just don’t fit as solidly as you’d hoped. Some people find their best friends within the first week and some fall into those friendships right when it seems like it’s too late. Don’t be quick to be disheartened. At no other time in your life will you be surrounded by so many people that also want to make friends than in your freshman year of college. If you happen to be a transfer student and/

or past your first year, the odds can seem slightly more out of favor for you. I’d like to pass on the advice of a friend of mine that went through exactly this: Join a few extra clubs to place yourself among people who share common interests. Pack on some communal responsibilities, meet new people and weed out which spaces you want to return. You don’t have to stay in a club if you later realize it’s not your thing or doesn’t fit in your schedule. But, by going to a few meetings and talking to the other members, you’re sure to make a few connections that could possibly develop. Aside from active friend-making, a key factor that contributed to saving my sanity freshman year was countering my anxiety with exactly what made me anxious. If you’re anything like the first-year version of me, being in public alone can be dispiriting. It can be easy to coop yourself up in your dorm and count down the days until the next break, but in doing so, you’re actively prosecuting your own defense. Absolutely take the time you need to amp yourself up for life outside of the dorm, but don’t let that personal time turn to isolation. Afford yourself the illusion of company. It

may sound nutty to some, but it’s proven that merely being in public spaces is good for your mental health. Simple things like not taking a meal back to your dorm but eating it outside, or doing homework in the library rather than in front of the same boho tapestry and string of twinkly lights gives you opportunities to simply be around people. With a student population of nearly 50,000, I can assure you that you are not alone in your feelings. Give yourself the chance to not only get comfortable with doing things by yourself, but also the chance to see some familiar faces and, wait for it, exchange some “hello’s” once in a while. This strategy also helps in strengthening your confidence and autonomy. Finding yourself is just as, if not more important than finding your people. Oh, also, if you’re genuinely wondering about the best bathrooms on campus, I admire the one on the fifth floor of the Kuiper Space Sciences building. It’s yellow.

CAMPUS GUIDE | WHERE TO GO

Tucson must-see spots BY DESIREE GURRERO @des__guerrero

Tuscon is home to many community gems. However, those new to Tucson may not know where to go for some fun activities for all ages. Here are 10 places in Tucson to see if you want to call yourself a Tucsonan. Mercado San Agustin Mercado San Agustin is a one-of-a-kind local courtyard market, offering a variety of shopping, food, drinks and shops. The courtyard also hosts events frequently, from farmers markets during the weekday to live music shows on the weekend. Near downtown in the Mercado District area, Mercado San Agustin is easily accessible, with it being directly on the downtown Sun Link route. San Mercado Agustin is open seven days a week, with hours varying for each outlet. If you’re looking for somewhere new to go that has it all, be sure to check this place out.

there is something on this historic street downtown for everyone to enjoy. Being one of the most historic streets in Tucson, this road has seen many changes and developments over the past few decades. Congress Street is also home to some historic sites, such as Hotel Congress, where bankrobber John Dilinger was famously captured, to the Rialto Theater, a concert hub that has hosted thousands of concerts over the years. D & D Pinball Located on the historic Fourth Avenue, this pinball arcade is the perfect blend of classic arcade games and modern touches. Although D&D Pinball hasn’t been around for too long, it quickly gained traction and is becoming a Tucson go-to spot. The arcade is home to many vintage pinball machines and classics, such as Pac-Man and 1942, and even hosts frequent tournaments.

“A” Mountain/Sentinel Peak A local landmark, “A” Mountain, has been a Tucson staple for decades. The top of the mountain offers parking, where you can stop, park and enjoy amd walk some of the trails the mountain offers. The view from the top is incomparable, making it one of the most popular places to see all of Tucson.

This offbeat spot makes a perfect place for any occasion, whether it’s for a date night, a family outing or even just a spot to hang out with your friends. Tucson Botanical Gardens This beautiful, lush garden that is open to the public, is a great spot to cool off in Tucson while enjoying the scenery. Tucson Botanical Gardens is home to a multitude of flowers and greenery. The gardens are also home to a variety of butterflies from around the world, which are seen during certain parts of the year. Get Air Feel like a kid again in a trampoline park located in the heart of downtown Tucson. This industrial-style warehouse holds an extensive number of trampolines, encouraging guests to get their adrenaline pumping while having fun. From open trampolines to dodgeball to foam pits and challenge courses, Get Air has a mix of activities that everyone can enjoy. Open seven days a week, pop in for some non-stop thrill and excitement.

San Xavier Mission Dubbed the “White Dove of the Desert,” Arizona’s oldest European structure was founded by Father Eusebio Kino and created in 1783. San Xavier Mission church is a historic site that many from all around travel to see in all its marvel. The church is a prime example of classic Spanish colonial style architecture, with the interior displaying original paintings and holy artifacts. DESIREE GURRERO | THE DAILY WILDCAT

Reid Park Zoo Meet animals from around the world all while never leaving the Old Pueblo. From elephants to giraffes to a bird sanctuary, the zoo is home to hundreds of species of animals. Reid Park Zoo was created in 1965 and remained a location in town that many often visit. Be sure to check out the exhibits and

habitats that are displayed and enjoy the many shows they hold daily. Art museums Tucson has a thriving art community, with people traveling from around the nation to visit renowned museums located here in town. There is an extensive amount of art museums to visit in town, from the famous DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun to Madaras Gallery to the Museum of Contemporary Art downtown. The University of Arizona also has the Center for Creative Arts which is a photography gallery showcasing world-famous photos from artists such as Ansel Adams. Tucson has an abundance of art and galleries that locals and tourists alike gather to see yearround. Biosphere 2 Besides art museums, Tucson is also home to some world-renowned environmental institutions. One place that is a must-see is the Biosphere 2. It is located about 45-minutes north of Tucson but is definitely worth the drive. Biosphere 2 serves as an environmental research facility, while also hosting daily tours for guests to explore the institute. Biosphere 2 displays various eco-system models for researchers to continue studying and learning more about our earth’s environment.

CAMPUS GUIDE | SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

UAPD Police Chief talks safety for the new school year The Daily Wildcat sat down with Chief Brian Seastone of the University of Arizona Police Department to discuss what the UAPD does for students, how to be safe on campus and ways to enjoy your time here at the UA BY SADIE CRUZ @SadieMCruz

Daily Wildcat: How did you get involved with UAPD? Brian Seastone: When I moved down here from Colorado in 1980, I had been a deputy sheriff in Colorado. I had the opportunity to work a lot with the University of Colorado Police Department and I really enjoyed the type of policing that you get to do. In many ways, it’s a lot like being a county sheriff only on a smaller basis, because you get to know the community, you can get out and interact a lot more. And so I put in my application here and, lo and behold, here I am today. DW: What are some other services that the UAPD offers to students? BS: We have a number of things. We have a crime prevention unit that provides presentations throughout the year, starting with orientation and really through the faculty, staff and students on just about any topic. We have our intern program, which we started about two-and-a-half years ago now that allows us to have up to three interns each semester for students that are interested in law enforcement and want to see how we work or how law enforcement works. Our program has gotten a very good response. We have our community service officer program, which are students that work for us. They’re our additional eyes and ears out there. It gets them, again, a behind-the-scenes understanding of law enforcement. You don’t need to be a criminal justice [major]. We’ve got folks that’ve been engineers and everything else that wanted a job, wanted to see what we do. We have our liaison program in our residence halls and the greek system, where we have officers assigned to those areas that can be a one-on-one resource. We know people coming from some areas of this country, the university is bigger than their hometown. So it gives them a contact and it allows the officers to get to know people in that residence hall or that greek affiliate house. Besides the day-to-day law enforcement functions, we really want people to know that we’re their hometown police department and we know that people sometimes come with a different view of what law enforcement is. One of the things we really try to do is get people to understand that we’re here for you, we want you to succeed, we want to help you be safe and that it really is a community effort. So, being out and engaged and involved, I think, is another one of our big assets.

DW: What are some ways that students can help keep others safe on campus? BS: Just being really great citizens, and, that is, if you see something that just doesn’t seem right, go ahead and give a call. We’ve got our LiveSafe app because, for some reason, people are afraid to call 911, but with the app, they can go directly into our dispatch and report whatever is going on and our dispatcher can then communicate back and forth. If it’s a crime in-progress, we ask that they call 911 just because we can get the information faster, we can relay it, et cetera. But watching out for each other, we know that with the environment, you can kind of get comfortable and so you may not be paying attention, et cetera. Especially in that first six weeks of school, it’s tough for people to get acclimated. So that buddy system of, “Hey, just checking on you,” or if you’re going out to a party, maybe go in pairs. Watch out for each other. Don’t be afraid to ask somebody if they need some help. I think that’s probably the most important thing. Or just be a caring person. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen somebody fall or something and people just keep on walking by. You don’t see that very often here. Somebody’s always going to stop and help people up. That’s just being a good person and a good community member. DW: How can students keep themselves safe? BS: For all the years I’ve done crime prevention, it almost feels like I preach, but it’s not meant to be. It’s being aware of your surroundings. You know, you’re new to Tucson or you’re going out and you’re not really sure about this person, let somebody know where you’re going, with whom and when you expect to return home. We know that we can never eliminate alcohol and drug use, but realize that if you’re not used to drinking, it doesn’t take a whole lot to impair your decision-making. So be cautious with that, especially that first six-to-eight weeks of school because of that, “I’ve got to go to that party, I’ve got to fit in.” You should still be yourself, watching your own behavior, locking your doors, even in your residence hall. You know, we all want to think we’re safe and everything, but it only takes a minute for somebody to find an open door, and if your computer is sitting there, laptop or iPad, it can go away. Remember to watch stuff in the library if you’re studying there. Just don’t leave your backpack and those types of things. A lot of the same things we’ve been told since we were little kids — lock the doors and watch out.

BRIAN SEASTONE IS THE University of Arizona Police Department Chief of Police.

We’re very fortunate here on our campus that we don’t have a lot of crimes against individuals. It’s more of the property crimes, the theft and burglary, that type of thing, so minimizing that risk is really important. From another safety standpoint, we’re all addicted to [cell phones] right now. You’ll see so many people paying attention to [them] instead of looking around, crossing streets without looking, headphones in while running or walking, and you can’t always hear what’s around you. So be cautious with [them] as well. Don’t text and drive. You know, Tucson has the city ordinance and there’s now the state law that will go into effect in 2021. But right now, it’s on the books, but it can’t be a citable offence. People need to be aware of those things, because it only takes a second.

CAMPUS GUIDE | GUEST LETTER

ASUA Prez Sydney Hess shares tips for new Wildcats BY SYDNEY HESS @DailyWildcat

Dear Wildcats, Three years ago, I walked onto campus as a freshman with my entire life stuffed into three suitcases. I had just purchased too many packets of Top Ramen, I was worried that I left something at home and it all seemed so daunting. In between feeling overwhelmed and too excited to breathe, I managed to find my place here at the University of Arizona, and in these past three years, I have had the best times of my life. I imagine that as a new Wildcat, no matter if you are a freshman or a transfer student you are feeling something similar to the way I felt walking into UA. So, I have listed a few tips to help you find your place here as well. 1. Keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone Be sure to say “yes” more often than you

don’t. The University of Arizona, the people here, the resources and experiences, will present you with incredible opportunitiesdon’t miss out. Challenge yourself, because it will pay off. 2. Prop your door open in your residence hall Use a door stopper, a rock, a bottle of shampoo — whatever it takes. Getting to know the people on your hall and getting involved with Hall Council will allow you to meet the people that will stick with you for the rest of your college career and beyond. 3. Join ZonaZoo ZonaZoo is the official student section for University of Arizona Athletics. To find out how to get involved in the tradition and school spirit, visit their website at https:// zonazoo.squarespace.com. 4. Participate and visit a student center There are currently eight student centers available for Wildcats to find community. The centers host space, events and other activities to allow students to connect with their culture or other parts of their identity.

5. Attend Club Fair The first Club Fair will be hosted on the mall on September 5. Be sure to stop by and find out what clubs and organizations are right for you. With over 600 clubs on campus, there is something for everyone! 6. Go Greek I have gained an immense amount of leadership skills, confidence and community as a result of being a greek woman. To register for IFC, Panhellenic or USFC recruitment, visit their website at greek.arizona.edu/how-join. 7. Connect with faculty Despite popular belief, professors are actually real humans, and they are here to help. Whether you are asking a question about an assignment or simply getting to know the person you spend three hours with on a weekly basis, invest your time in office hours. You never know what opportunities will arise when you have faculty that support you.

offer. Tucson has some of the best food in the world, a plethora of museums and there is always something happening Downtown or on Fourth Avenue on the weekends. 9. Mistakes are inevitable — embrace them and learn from them College is about finding out who you are as a learner, a friend and a human. Do not be afraid to make mistakes, because they will help you become the Wildcat you are meant to be. The years ahead of you at the University of Arizona are ones that you will never want to forget. Remember to soak it all in every once in awhile, because they will fly by fast. You are in for quite the experience as a new Wildcat as long as you challenge yourself!

8. Explore Tucson Hop on Tucson’s Streetcar, the Sun Link, and explore all that your new home has to

CAMPUS GUIDE | TUCSON ACTIVITIES

Take a dive into the bar scene in Tucson BY CLAUDE AKINS @claude_akins

The low down on the down low spots in Tucson.

REBECCA NOBLE | THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE LOFT CINEMA, A long-time Tucson favorite, is located at 3233 E. Speedway Blvd.

Under 21 activities BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves

Tucson is a town that has a rich culture when it comes to things to do. While it has a vibrant nightlife and bar presence, Tucson is filled with a plethora of adventures for those who are under the age of 21. From shopping to concerts, there is always something to do in the “Dirty T.” Shopping A few blocks from the University of Arizona is the colorful Historic Fourth Avenue that is filled with plenty of shopping opportunities for those looking to change their wardrobe or find little knick-knacks. Shops include Pop Cycle, a recycle-themed shop that offers trinkets and fashion to its customers, the Rustic Candle Company, a candle boutique that sells locallymade candles and incense, and Hippie Gypsy, a psychedelic-themed shop that will transport you to the 60s. There are also several thrift shops located near campus including Goodwill on Fourth Avenue, which offers a student discount, Tucson Thrift Shop on Fourth, Buffalo Exchange on Speedway Boulevard and Gypsy Emporium located downtown on Court Avenue. Coffee and Restaurants After shopping, you can enjoy a cup of coffee at one of the many cafés on and around campus. From Caffe Luce on Park and University and Epic Café on Fourth to Chocolate Iguana or Café Pasé, each coffee shop brings something unique to the community. If coffee’s not your thing, go for a quick bite at an eatery near campus, like Italian restaurant Caruso’s, Bison Witches, B-Line Café, Lindy’s on Fourth, Magpies Pizza or Tall Boys.

Music and Events If you enjoy live music, comedy or bigger events, there are several venues near campus to keep a close eye on. From the historic Hotel Congress to the Rialto Theater to 191 Toole, each venue brings a unique vibe to what scene you are trying to dive into. You can also attend a movie at the Loft Cinema, located on Speedway Boulevard, an art house theater that shows classic movies along with new releases and other special events, including a local short film contest every first Friday of the month called First Friday Shorts. Other things to look for are Free First Thursday at the Tucson Museum of Art. Every first Thursday of the month, the museum offers free public access to the exhibits. Every second Saturday of the month, Downtown Tucson holds 2nd Saturdays that host live music and vendors for the public. Other things to look for Tucson is known for its art scene and there are several pop-up art shows around town, sometimes accompanied by local music. There are also bigger events that happen throughout the year that students can attend when not going to class. The big thing to remember is that if you are looking to get away from campus and try something new, you have to listen to your peers, look at flyers in coffee shops or just adventure around town to find something to do. For more information on any of the above events, go to visittucson.com for a complete list of things to do for those who cannot attend a bar or share a drink.

1. Buffet Bar & Crockpot 538 E. 9th St. Buffet Bar & Crockpot — or The Buffet for brevity’s sake — is a Tucsonan institution. Located down the street from Fourth Avenue and not far from downtown, The Buffet is the sort of place you do your drinking after you’ve already done plenty of drinking. This makes for a good assortment of people. Gutter punks and frat boys can (kind of) mingle at the The Buffet, and the tight space makes it a practical necessity. That is the allure of the dive bar, after all: Cast off your pretentiousness, we’re all here to drink. Get a Mexican jello shot or a PBR and look at the graffiti-lined walls. Or do whatever you want. It’s The Buffet. 2. The Shelter Cocktail Lounge 4155 E. Grant Rd. I was tempted to make The Shelter number one out of respect for the irreplaceable vibe: red lights, pictures of JFK literally everywhere, all confined to the cozy circularity of an imitation bomb shelter. The Shelter is a take on what would have happened if the Cuban Missile Crisis resulted in nuclear fallout and the last remaining Sonorans were stuck forever in 1962. Maybe that’s why there’s an indoor smoking section — a godsend for smokers who don’t wish to sweat all summer long. A little on the pricey side, and perhaps dive bar purists will complain about it’s presence here, but there is no way this uniquely Tucson bar could be lower than number two on this list. Vote Kennedy ‘64. 3. Danny’s Baboquivari Lounge 2910 E. Fort Lowell Rd. Danny’s checks off one of the more elusive criteria for a quality dive bar: a weird yet

perfect name. Another criteria is of course the hominess, maybe the only necessary quality of a dive bar. And Danny’s has that in spades. I once met a man who told me he was having his wedding reception there. Last time I was there, two men broke out into an impromptu performance of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah on the bar piano. The patio is wonderful. During the winter months the fire pit gets going to warm you up. Occasionally they project a movie onto the side of the adjacent building. Good times. 4. Nancy’s Boondocks 3306 N. 1st Ave. This is where the list gets tough and becomes more subjective. At a certain point it’s about finding your dive bar, not someone else’s, and this depends on everything from a friendly bartender to proximity to your house. For me, Nancy’s Boondocks is a welcome oasis. Don’t get me wrong — this is a dive, a real dive (remember to lock your car doors!), but the drinks are cheap and strong, the pool tables are good, there’s a giant wine bottle standing outside and Nancy’s hosts a quality karaoke night, where once I saw a perfect duet rendition of Evanescence’s “Bring me to Life.” What more can I ask for? 5. Your Dive Bar Here This is the point of the list where it’s basically impossible to make distinctions. Dive bars are wonderful because of their weird idiosyncrasies and rough edges, the cracks through which the light shines through. I encourage all readers to find their own dive bar, to find a little refuge off of Main Street, to get away from downtown and Fourth Avenue and try to see a different side of the city you may call home for the next four years or more. It’s not nicknamed the “Dirty T” for nothing. Be responsible, stay safe. Cheers.

CAMPUS GUIDE | CAMPUS CHANGES

Ongoing and new additions to UA campus BY NATHAN GOSNELL @DailyWildcat

The university campus continues to grow. Here is a look at what new places to watch for this year and beyond. Cole and Jeannie Davis Sports Center This recent addition to the University of Arizona athletics department was in part funded by an $8 million donation from Cole and Jeannie Davis. The indoor sports center finished construction in February and is intended to serve a multi-purpose function for a variety of athletic programs, including a football practice field. It is located directly adjacent to the Arizona Stadium and will primarily be seen by those involved in Arizona Athletics. The project began construction April 2018 and cost the university over $16 million to build the practice facility, which Arizona Athletics had been requesting for some time. A primary feature is its ability to be temperaturecontrolled, allowing for a break from the Arizona heat for athletes as they practice.

Student Success District UA’s current and largest project will be under construction for some time to come. It’s a massive undertaking, featuring a renovation of the Main Library and additions to the Bear Down Gymnasium, ScienceEngineering Library and the addition of a Student Success building. Throughout the project, these spaces will be completely re-imagined, with digital models showing indoor and outdoor spaces completely reworked. Everything is a bit more open, both inside and out, with spacious lobbies and new common areas. What’s apparent in the designs for the renovations is an insistence on collaboration and working together. Whether this comes through accessible technology or spaces that allow and promote collaborative work, it is frequently displayed or mentioned in the plans. Recent graduate Connor Boyle said that the renovations would put the state of the art amenities ahead, but the money could be better placed elsewhere, like the Cesar E. Chavez building. While the first part of the project, the Main Library renovation, is projected to be

completed in mid-2020, some parts such as the outdoor spaces aren’t meant to be completed until 2021. This will leave some lag for the construction to end and the new spaces to open up, but as the renovations

end, this part of campus will take on an entirely new face, possibly unrecognizable in part for some alumni and returning students.

THE HONORS VILLAGE WILL act as the main dorm for the Honors College, previously divided between multiple dorms. The village is expected to open in Fall 2019.

FROM PAGE 41

UA Global Center Study abroad services were previously spread out around campus. Passport services were almost off campus in a small building on the edge. Advisors were in another location and international student services in another. This was one of the main reasons why the new UA Global Center was proposed. It’s an effort to centralize key study abroad resources while also providing new amenities like planned markets, places to purchase “global” food and outdoor spaces. The primary goal is to have a place that UA Global can call home. Here, international students would readily know where they’re meant to go for assistance, and those interested in study abroad could get all the services and help they need in one place. As the project moves forward, the former Park Student Union will be reenvisioned as the UA Global Center,but take on a shape similar to its past form with food and spaces to relax included. PSU formerly housed Arizona Student Media, which has now moved to the third floor of the University Services building. The new Global Center is meant to be completed in the coming years, with different phases of the project being finished at different times.

Honors Village The Honors Village is one of the most anticipated new constructions to campus. It will open as the largest dorm currently at the UA with around 1,000 residential slots and will feature multiple amenities including classrooms, dining facilities and a recreational center. In a similar vein to other efforts like UA Global, the Honors Village acts as a centralization of a program formerly without a formal home or central placement of its different features. Previously, the honors dorms were Árbol de la Vida and Yuma, which will now be open to all students, with the Honors College being housed almost entirely in the Honors Village. The project was done in partnership with American Campus Communities, a private student housing developer, and spans three city blocks with three separate buildings. A 370-space parking garage stands just outside the complex as well as a large amount of vegetation, devised to create a buffer with the surrounding neighborhood as well as work in conjunction with storm water mitigation measures put into place. Once it opens in Fall 2019, the Honors Village will create a space on campus unlike anywhere else. It’s a mixed-use complex, allowing for the various uses like classroom spaces and recreational facilities to exist in one area, mainly unseen elsewhere on campus.

This past season, Aari McDonald led the Arizona women’s basketball team in scoring as a sophomore. In addition, she led the team to the WNIT Championship game where the team defeated Northwestern at McKale Center.

B – Basketball

Arizona men’s basketball did not have the best season this past year, but the team will say hello to a number of new faces in the nation’s No. 3 overall recruiting class on the court this year in hopes of making a run in the postseason. As mentioned, women’s basketball won the WNIT and will now set their sights on making the NCAA Tournament.

C – Carlos Villarreal

D – Devils

The Arizona Wildcats will have a rivalry week in each of their respective sports in the upcoming seasons where they will take on that one school up north. This past year, the Arizona football team lost to the Sun Devils at home in Tucson by blowing a 19-point fourth quarter lead.

E – Elizabeth Shelton

Elizabeth Shelton, a rising volleyball junior, was enjoying her best season this past year, but, unfortunately, her season was cut short due to a concussion. When she was healthy, she was able to set career highs in kills/ set, hitting percentages and points/set, among other stats.

G – Geist

Jordan Geist has been dominating the field events ever since he set foot on campus two years ago. Geist won the sophomore male athlete of the year, and MC Chris McGee joked about the large size of his forearms and biceps.

H – Harper

Rising senior Jessie Harper continues to dominate the softball field for the Wildcats. The team is currently contending for a postseason run on a national level. Last year, Harper was a part of the USA Softball Player of the Year Top 50 Watch List.

I – Ira Lee

With a rough start to the previous season, rising junior basketball player Lee looks to make a bigger impact and hold a more substantial role on the team this season as he is just one of two juniors on the team, along with Alex Barcello.

J – Josh Green

An integral part of Arizona’s top recruiting class, Green will step on the court this fall and look to bring a certain spark and passion to Arizona basketball that it has been missing for a little while now.

K – Kevin Sumlin

With the over-hyped, under-played start of the “new era,” Head Coach Sumlin and his crew are looking to make a much bigger impact on the field this fall than his past season when the team went 5-7 and failed to make any bowl game.

L – Linemen

Arizona football had one of the best offensive lines in the Pac-12 last season as the group helped the Wildcats be the third-best rushing attack with over 200 yards per game.

M – Mike Candrea

Softball Head Coach Candrea and his crew are currently vying for a national title, but, for now, Candrea was recently awarded his 1600th career win, which places him among some elite collegiate softball company.

With the addition of new recruits and the returning veterans, Arizona sports looks to dominate on all sides of the offense boards this year, whether it be in basketball, softball or volleyball.

P – Palomino-Cardoza

Senior softball player Alyssa PalominoCardoza recently helped Arizona secure a huge victory over UCLA in the first match of the series with a diving catch in the seventh inning. She has been a dominant force on the softball team, and her leadership will only continue to grow in the upcoming postseason.

Q – Quarterback

Khalil Tate, along with Sumlin, will look to make a bigger spark on the football field this upcoming season. This will be quarterback Tate’s senior season as he looks to make one final push for a postseason run for Arizona.

R – Renovations

Arizona sports has been undergoing a series of renovations this past year, including the construction of the Cole and Jeannie Davis Sports Center, valued at about $16.5 million dollars worth of renovations. Also, the Hillenbrand Stadium was recently renovated to include more seating and be a more state-of-the-art facility.

W – Women’s sports

All in all, it was very clear that Arizona’s women’s sports made a larger impact on Arizona Athletics this past year. From women’s basketball winning the WNIT title to softball sporting a 21-game winning streak at one point in the season, the female athletes on campus sure know how to get the job done.

X – X-factor

One of the x-factors for the Arizona men’s basketball team this season could be Zeke Nnaji. Standing at 6-foot-11, Nnaji is the No. 39 overall ranked prospect in his class, making him one of the four players inside the top 100 to commit to Arizona.

Y – Yu-Sang Hou

Sophomore Yu-Sang Hou has been one of the faces of Arizona women’s golf this past year. She was nominated for Sophomore Female Athlete of the Year but did not win. As a junior, she will look to have a more leadership-focused role on the team.

Z – ZonaZoo

Arizona students are invited to join the ZonaZoo, one of the best student sections in the entire nation. Members of this group get great seats at crowded sporting games, including football and basketball games. In 2015 and 2018, ZonaZoo won the NCSSA Loud and Proud award for the best student section in the nation.

S – Sean Miller

With a fairly uneventful season last year, basketball Head Coach Miller and his crew are looking to make something happen on the court this year with the addition of new recruits and returning veterans.

T – Tenure

Talking about tenure, volleyball Head Coach Dave Rubio will be entering his 28th season this year. Rubio currently sports a 512-321 (0.615) overall record, and he has led the team to 14 20-win seasons and 20 NCAA appearances in his tenure here in Tucson.

U – Underdog

A sport that might not come to mind when you think of the University of Arizona is men’s wheelchair basketball, but this past season, the team won third place at the National Adult Division 1 Wheelchair Basketball tournament in Tallmadge, Ohio on March 24.

V – Volleyball

After a 22-11 overall record and first-round exit in the postseason to Missouri, Arizona volleyball is looking to make a bigger run this year as they signed Mahina Pua’a, the sister

Exploring new worlds with study abroad BY MIKAYLA KABER @KaberMikayla

The study abroad program at the University of Arizona is continually evolving and adding new programs to provide life-altering experiences through hands-on learning for students. One of the new programs at the UA is the Mod Rockers and Paris Goes Pop program. According to Bailey Lee, program manager of study abroad, it is the first program specifically made for fashion minors. The 2019 program was a one-month trip to London, Bristol, Bath and Paris, said student Mish DeCarlo, who went on the trip this year. It was also found, in DeCarlo’s case, that it was cheaper even with travel arrangements to take the month-long course abroad instead of staying and studying on the UA campus. According to DeCarlo, the program was a hybrid course. Some of the students enrolled for credit stayed here in Tucson and completed the curriculum through online studies. A big goal was for study abroad students to go out into the field, as a day-lab, and report back to the students online. This course studies the cultures of fashion and how it has evolved and continues to impact modern day ideas. “From the Edwardian look of Carnaby Street and King Row to the impeccable bespoke tailoring of Saville Row,” the UA study abroad website said, “we will explore the Roman antiquities, which surround the Fashion Museum of Bath, England and ‘carry on’ to the haute couture houses in Paris. Then we shall look forward to learning about the effortless Paris street style.” DeCarlo discussed how there was an assignment that was all about what they were packing for the trip. They were asked why they chose to pack certain items, what professional attire is and what their choices were rooted in. This brought up a whole new perspective and hands-on lesson about fashion for the students. “They had us only bring a carry-on suitcase, because they wanted to train us to, like, travel as fashion buyers. So just constantly being on the go but still being professional,” DeCarlo said. “The online kids’ objectives were to critique our insight and a little bit of research behind why they were suggesting things.” The Mod Rockers and Paris Goes Pop shows how students are able to immerse themselves in the world of fashion while also applying it to their own lives. This new study abroad program provides an enriching experience for

those who want to take their education to the next level. Although studying abroad in Kyoto is not a new program for the UA, the Daily Wildcat spoke with first-time study abroad student Rylan Pugliese who experienced what it was like to study in Asia. The program takes place on a campus in Japan where students stay in dorms while pursuing their studies. They take two courses. One was food studies and the other covered religion, according to Pugliese, who participated in the program this past summer. “Most of the trip was spent exploring Kyoto. So we could go to temples and shrines and actually get to see religion and see culture instead of just learning about it in the classroom,” Pugliese said. Pugliese is an East Asian Studies major in which she studies Japanese. The trip provided a place of full immersion into a country and language that is not her native. She had practice talking with locals and was able to speaking Japanese in a way that could never have been offered on the main campus at the UA. By completely losing herself in another culture of food, religion and language, Pugliese was able to change her life by just studying abroad. The study abroad program at the UA offers a full immersion experience of learning that no other program can. They are constantly adding new programs and improving the old ones to endorse the dreams of students from all sorts of majors.

Someone is Looking for You ! There IS a superior intelligence “out there” — and a loving one too. Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don’t be deceived by evolutionism. All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil. Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible? For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:710, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 - 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2 Peter 3:8/ Hosea 5:14 - 6:2. “No one knows the day or the hour!” you cry? The Word says: 1Thessalonians 5:1-6. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com). “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1Corinthians 2:9 , John 14:15) Isaiah 55:6-9!
