The Arizona Board of Regents is scheduled to take action at its Sept. 24 board meeting on an updated strategic plan that the Enterprise Executive Committee has been working on. This came at the request of Gov. Doug Ducey at the April board meeting. Ducey asked the board to deliver “a sustainable, longterm business plan that addresses the needs of students and the business community that depends on their success.” Ducey’s request comes after the passage of the legislative budget that cut $99 million from the three in-state universities. “This should be a plan that policymakers and elected leaders, starting with myself, can support, take to the public, advocate for and implement,” Ducey said regarding the regents’ new plan. The EEC is comprised of Eileen Klein, board president of the board of regents, as well as the presidents of Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the UA. Klein said the committee is excited about these areas and that the committee will work to organize the universities around them. “This isn’t just an aspirational document of things we think should happen,” Klein said. “This will become the framework that every university has to develop an academic, business and strategic plan of their own, showing how they’re going to play their part in contributing to the state reaching these goals that we’ve set.” Klein said the committee will be meeting with Ducey in a few weeks for his input, and will present the plan to the board in September, accompanied by their budget request and a different approach to requesting money from the state. Along with the committee’s legislative agenda, which will continue to advance a series of regulatory reforms, the EEC will put forward a package for the board’s consideration that ultimately will be delivered to Ducey on Oct. 1. “We are so excited for back-to-school and the number of students we have and the diversity of students we have, but the reality is we have to have a very serious conversation with policymakers about how we’re going to create a sustainable financial model,” Klein said. Klein said talks with officials are not just essential to the EEC’s operation, but are key to making sure post-secondary eduction remains within reach of every student in the state, especially with the increase in students

THE ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS holds a meeting in the Grand Ballroom in the Student Union Memorial Center at the UA to discuss budget cuts on Thursday, Feb. 5. The board is strategizing in order to make the next semester a success despite the challenges presented by budget cuts.

who have need for financial assistance. “The number-one way to keep tuition low is for the state to step up and be a partner to students in helping to cover the costs of their education,” Klein said. “We want to have a serious conversation with policymakers about what it’s going to take and the level of investment the universities should expect.” Klein found the most recent round of cuts difficult, challenging and disappointing, so she is eager to reverse the course on those cuts and see the legislature begin to restore funding to the universities as soon as possible. Manny Felix, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said, “I know for the next year that all three universities and all the student body presidents from all the different campuses are looking to work closely with one another to prevent the budget cuts like what happened last year.” Felix said if students all work together, they will have a more active voice and an active student body that will ultimately be more powerful than working individually — the hope being that students will have a greater impact when bringing up an issue to the board of regents. Along with wanting a good relationship with the board this year, Felix said, “We will be choosing our student regent, who is our closest relationship with the board, the university and the administration. So we’re looking to hopefully have a student regent who will represent the students and have the best interest of students at heart.”

Klein outlined the core responsibilities the committee is focused on. “We’re committed to student success, and we’re going to escalate our efforts to make sure that every student has the pathway they need at the university, and that they need to complete and leave the university with a degree, along with the workplace skills that will really enhance their opportunities in the marketplace. We are, of course, always going to want to accelerate our research and discovery mission so that we are not just advancing the fields of human knowledge, but also so we are transferring what we learned in either ideas or technologies out to the marketplace in patents or other ways so that we can commercialize ideas and make them into something successful. Another area is the impact on the community. We have a lot of programs that provide direct services to multiple communities and constituents throughout Arizona. One area we’re especially interested in is really rallying the state around the need for post-secondary education. We’re looking forward to talking more broadly with other education leaders, business leaders and obviously state policymakers about how we can continue to improve Arizona’s college readiness and college going rate. We know that two-thirds of the jobs of the future require an education beyond high school, and we want to play a key role in driving those outcomes for Arizona.”

GPSC president seeks partnerships
tomorrow exchange buy * *sell*trade sell*trade
BY TERRIE BRIANNA
The Daily Wildcat
Inspirational, dedicated and driven are a few words that Myra Joy Veluz, social chair of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, uses to describe current president Sarah Netherton. Netherton, a nursing graduate student, was first asked by her college to serve as a nursing representative for GPSC in mid August. She started her doctor of nursing practice this week and previously earned her master’s degree while involved in the Master’s Entry to the Profession of Nursing Student Organization. “I walked in not knowing much about GPSC, but wanting to get involved on campus,” Netherton said. Netherton is in charge of representing over 9,000 graduate and professional students at the UA as president of GPSC. Netherton said her primary goal is collaboration. “I think she will be great in the position,” said Juhyung Sun, the vice president of GPSC. Sun praised Netherton on her ability to be passionate about the issues while still maintaining professional partnerships with her peers. “I know she is passionate and committed to improving the well-being of graduate and professional students. She is great at building relationships on all levels and I have been impressed with the rapport she has been able to build with everyone … in such a short time,”Sun said. Netherton said her main life goal as a professional is to work as a nurse practitioner and to eventually work in health care policy. “Once I got involved as a representative, I was able to see the challenges that grad students face,” Netherton said. “I wanted to work on

their behalf especially because many students do not have time or energy while in grad school to address these issues themselves.” Netherton said the biggest struggle of her educational career has been finances, like many other students across the country. “Grad school is expensive, especially when you can’t work at the same time,” she added. “I managed to make it out of undergrad with no student loans, but now I’ve got about $60,000 in loans.” Netherton said she plans to use her position to ensure that there is a working partnership with administration, students and other organizations and clubs to provide the best assistance to students at the UA. “Having heard her speak during GPSC meetings, it was clear that [Netherton] had a lot of leadership experience,” Veluz said. “I noticed her immediately because of the way she addressed the concerns of her constituency and I was both impressed and inspired.”

Oasis resources relocate to WRC BY Meghan Fernandez
The Daily Wildcat
Alex McIntyre/The Daily Wildcat
Jacquelyn Hinek, a psychology senior, writes in a notebook in the Women’s Resource Center in the Student Union Memorial Center on Tuesday, Aug. 25. Hinek is the co-director of the Oasis student-led internship Students Promoting Empowerment And Consent.
The Oasis Program recently moved to the Women’s Resource Center, signifying the UA administration’s push for increasing awareness about sexual assault. Krista Millay, program director for the WRC, said the Oasis Sexual Violence Prevention Program officially moved to the WRC on July 1. The counseling program within OASIS will remain at Campus Health Service, where it has always been, Millay said. According to Oasis’ brochure and website, the organization is a program associated with Campus Health and the WRC that advocates against sexual assault and relationship violence through an array of services, such as counseling and prevention education. This structural change was orchestrated by Dean of Students Kendal Washington White, Millay said, to ensure that sexual assault is getting more attention at the UA. “The dean of students is so committed and passionate on bringing awareness to sexual assault issues,” Millay said. Millay said she hopes that with the prevention aspect of Oasis now being located in the Student Union Memorial Center, there will be more collaboration with the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, which is also located in the SUMC. Prior to Monday, there was not a counselor trained specifically in sexual assault prevention, but Millay said that one had just been hired on Monday. Glenn Matchett-Morris, associate director of Counseling and Psych Services for Campus Health, confirmed that a counselor specifically trained to handle sexual assault cases for Oasis was recently hired on Monday. The counselor, Minnie Almader, started working on Tuesday, Matchett-Morris said. Another notable facet of the structural change within Oasis is its student-led internship called Students Promoting Empowerment and Consent. SPEAC is now located at the WRC office, where the interns can share the programming space with other WRC internships such as The Men’s Project and Feminists Organized to Resist, Create, Change and Empower. SPEAC student directors Jacqueline Chau, public health senior, and Jacquelyn Hinek, psychology senior, explained how this move to the WRC is beneficial for SPEAC and UA students. “Now that the preventative side [of
Oasis] is in the Women’s Resource Center, we now have an open and collaborative space where anyone can come in,” Chau said. When Oasis was only at Campus Health Service, SPEAC didn’t have that physical space, Chau explained. “Now,… we’re able to say, ‘Yes, you can come to the Women’s Resource Center!’” Chau said. Chau also explained that being a part of the WRC will allow SPEAC to expand its presence on campus. “Being here, we definitely have a greater presence on campus, and it’s definitely a greater collaborative effort that we can utilize to give our resources out to students,” Chau said. While Chau and Hinek expressed their excitement about Oasis moving to the WRC, they said they were not sure what prompted the change. Hinek said another change within Oasis this academic school year is the absence of former violence prevention specialist Megan McKendry, who was trained to be an advocate against sexual assault. Oasis is still looking to fill that position. Chau said the title of McKendry’s former position has also changed to coordinator of the Oasis program. While they continue the search to fill that position, Millay will be overseeing SPEAC, Hinek said. “I think that’s really been so wonderful for her to take us on while they’re looking to fill Megan’s position,” Hinek said. Chau added that Millay has experience with social justice issues as the director of the WRC and is helping SPEAC transition into the WRC. Millay commended McKendry’s work and advocacy with Oasis and explained the difficulty with filling her position. “It will be hard to replace Megan, because she did amazing work and she’s a really talented and passionate person,” Millay said. Millay put the structural change of Oasis within the context of national awareness about campus sexual assault and prevention. “I think it’s a really exciting transition and gives us an opportunity to give more focus and attention to the issues of sexual assault and violence prevention,” she said. “This is a really exciting time in history to do that, because there’s so much national attention on college campuses.”

POLICE BEAT COMPILED BY MEGHAN FERNANDEZ
It’s not Cali, bro Three University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to Coronado Residence Hall after a resident assistant reported smelling marijuana from one of the rooms. Upon arrival, the officers searched the hallway and the room that the RA originally reported. The officers did not smell any odor of marijuana there, but they did smell it in a different room. One of the police officers knocked on the door, and a male resident let them into the room, where they proceeded to ask the resident about the smell of marijuana. The resident admitted to having it in his room. The officers asked for the resident’s marijuana and any paraphernalia. The resident handed over a clear jar containing 3.2 grams of marijuana. He then retrieved a vaporizer, which contained a mixture of tobacco and marijuana, and a grinder with marijuana residue. The resident explained to the officers that he had a medical marijuana card issued in California, to which two of the officers informed him that despite having a marijuana card, the possession of marijuana on the UA campus is illegal. The resident was referred to the Dean of Students Office, where he will have to complete a diversion process. “If you want” Two UAPD officers responded to a report from an RA at Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall regarding the smell of marijuana from one of the rooms. The RA led the officers to the room where he reported smelling marijuana. One officer could smell burnt marijuana through the door seal and hear people inside. The officer knocked on the door, and a male resident answered. The officer explained he was there because of a report of marijuana odor coming from his room. The officer asked the resident if he could enter the room. The resident replied, “If you want.” Two other UA students were present in the room. The officer explained that he could smell burnt marijuana in the room and asked the three students about it. One of the students said the three of them had smoked outside but that no marijuana was in the room. After asking to look around the room with permission from the resident, the officer found a glass pipe with burnt marijuana. The officer asked the students if they had anything else in the room, to which the resident retrieved a backpack that had a container holding a pipe, rolling papers, marijuana residue and an air filter called “Green Smoke Buddy.” One of the students pointed out a different bag to the officer that contained a grinder with marijuana residue inside. The officer asked which items belonged to the resident, and the resident confirmed that the container was his. One officer took the two non-residents out into the hallway to question them separately, while the other officer remained in the room with the resident. The resident informed the officer that he has been smoking consistently since he was in eighth grade. The officer informed the students that they would be referred to the diversion program due to their cooperation.

ASUA senators discuss platforms Associated Students of the University of Arizona senators start the new school year explaining their platforms and goals to achieve during their term BY isaac rounseville The Daily Wildcat
Andreas Zai, a sophomore studying computer science and pre-business, has a platform that focuses on making the structure of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona more efficient and effective for both senators and the students they represent. Zai said one example was a former senator proposing to make a dry cleaning center in the basement of the Student Union Memorial Center. The proposal, which at first glance seemed appealing, soon fell through. In order to avoid problems like these in the future, Zai said he is calling for both a streamline of efficiency and a more realistic assessment of what ASUA senators and staffers are capable of accomplishing. He said he plans to achieve this by having the senators who are leaving office document their term and its efficiency. Hailey Schwartz, a public health senior, was elected with a health-based platform for UA students. Schwartz stressed the importance of effective communication between campus
services and students. According to Schwartz, this would include increased communication between the two groups, with ASUA providing improved information about the health needs and wants of the students they represent, and CHS responding accordingly with policy changes or projects. Schwartz said she hopes she can further align the concepts of student health and representation by combining the organizational efforts of these groups. She said she wants to work with other senators and health advocates on specific campus projects and broader institutional changes, ranging from upholding the maintenance of hand sanitation stations, to increasing student awareness about flu and meningitis vaccinations being offered on campus. Alexa Jenkins worked on ASUA’s senate staff last year, where she got experience helping other senators implement their own projects for improving student health, education and communication on
campus. One specific project she helped initiate and plans to fully implement during her term is the Don’t Cancel That Class program. “I worked with [ASUA Sen.] Michael Finnegan and other staff members to get it started,” Jenkins said. “The basic concept is that when a professor’s class suddenly gets cancelled, instead of everyone not attending, there would be a representative to lecture about a different subject, like awareness and prevention of sexual assault on campus.” She said it’s already been implemented at other schools, such as the University of Montana. Jenkins plans to have it fully enacted this year. Trey Cox is in his second term as an ASUA senator. His main project goals involve collaboration with other senators to help accomplish their campaign platforms from last April. The first project is with ASUA Sen. Matthew Lubisich and involves establishing a campaign team to keep the UA student body informed about the major restructuring of ASUA’s
representation process. Starting next year, the organization will have 17 senators exclusively elected from each college throughout the university, in addition to three “at-large” positions that the student body will vote for. This is a change from its current senate structure, which has only 10 “atlarge” positions. Cox said that keeping students informed of the new changes is key for their desired effect, which is to increase involvement in student government. Natalie Scibilia works on the Student Services Fee Advisory Board and Appropriations Board. Scibilia said one popular program that is funded through the student services fee is THINK TANK, which is an on-campus tutoring service for UA students. Because of her collaboration with THINK TANK staff members over the summer, the tutoring service will open up its Supplemental Instruction program to an array of subjects.

Senators from page 6
Matthew Lubisich, a political science and economics sophomore, is the chair of the Appropriations Board and oversees meetings regarding the allocation of funding for campus clubs. In addition to his administrative duties within ASUA, Lubisich also has a larger, threepart platform he ran on last year. The first part is a collaborative effort with ASUA president Manny Felix and Krista Millay, program director of the Women’s Resource Center, to raise awareness of sexual assault at the UA through the “I Will” campaign. Lubisich said the campaign is a week-long event to increase awareness of sexual assault on campus, seek ways to identify and prevent it and assist and encourage survivors to speak out. The second part of Lubisich’s platform is free parking for students during finals week. This is a tentative proposal since it is still early in the year. The last part of the platform is a project with Residence Life to establish some form of a subsidized laundry system. A big key to implementing that is making a convincing proposal to the Residence Hall Association. Maddy Bynes sits on two committees at the ASUA: the UA Green Fund and the Presidents Advisory Committee for the Environment and Sustainability. Bynes proudly pointed out that the UA is ranked 22nd on a 162-school sustainability ranking by the Sierra Club for 2013, a ranking she wishes to improve upon during her term. One approach to improving the UA ranking, Bynes said, is to encourage basic environmental conscience among students, such as recycling or reusable grocery bags. Along with finding ways to adjust individual behaviors, Bynes wants to introduce structural changes to campus organizations in favor of environmental sustainability. As a starting point for this year, Bynes said she wants to put forward a sustainability commitment for ASUA. She describes it as a statement that organizations put forward to outline and encourage certain goals, such as a reduced carbon footprint, carbon neutrality and reduced water consumption. “I want to build partnerships between different programs, like services, clubs and Greek life so we can have a larger collaborative organization at the UA,” Bynes said. David McGarey is an engineering sophomore. His main platform goals this year as senator are to increase both involvement in student government and senator accountability. To boost student participation, McGarey wants to emphasize outreach to incoming freshmen, a group he said has the greatest potential to get involved in student government, but has the least knowledge of it. One initial goal he has is to inform more students that senator meetings are open to the public, pointing out that the agenda, minutes and a live stream are usually posted on the ASUA website. In addition to increased student involvement, McGarey wants to strengthen transparency and accountability in the senate
itself. One way he plans to do this, he said, is something he calls “Platform Survival.” Platform Survival is a way to hold senators accountable for their campaign platforms and ensure that they are followed. McGarey said that there are many cases of strong, visionary platforms that get people elected, yet tend to fall under the weight of financial and bureaucratic problems once the school year starts. Alec Kretch, a computer science junior, is approaching this year with a technologybased platform. Kretch works from ASUA’s Technology Board, and the first portion of his platform involves updating and improving websites and applications that are widely used by UA students. The improvements Kretch said he has in mind range from new features, like a setting for a student’s CatCash balance, to making the overall design of websites like D2L more intuitive. To usher in these new changes, Kretch is working with other staff members to create a programming subdivision inside ASUA. “So far, we’ve been getting applications for candidates that we’ll be interviewing at the start of the school year,” Kretch said. This newly updated technology leads into the second part of Kretch’s platform, which is to foster collaboration between ambitious and talented UA students. Calling it the “Kretch model,” he describes it as a proposal to promote business start-ups at the UA. Joe Zanoni is serving his second term as an ASUA senator. One particular agenda point that has spanned throughout his time at ASUA is the issue of student representation. Last year, Zanoni reinstated the “UA Listens” group, which is a Facebook page that allows students to directly petition for particular interests they have relating to student government. However, Zanoni said there are larger, structural issues with representation in ASUA. “It’s really tough for ten of us senators to represent 33,000 undergraduate students and 7,000 graduate students,” Zanoni said. To address this insufficiency, Zanoni has worked with other senators, staffers and executive members to restructure the ASUA constitution over the last few years. His main goal is to create more specialized representation for students of different colleges. The current structure includes ten “at-large” senate positions, each of whom must campaign for the votes of the entire student body. Read the full version of this story online at dailywildcat.com

Optics undergrads win award
BY Kimberlie Wang The Daily Wildcat
EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY The reproductive hormone testosterone and stress hormone cortisol have been found to encourage and reinforce unethical behavior. According to researchers at Harvard University and the University of Texas at Austin, increased levels of testosterone decrease the fear of punishment and heighten the valuation of reward. Simultaneously, increased cortisol creates a state of debilitating and uncomfortable stress that acts as incentive to behave unethically. The study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology asked 117 participants to perform a math test and to self-grade and self-report their number of correct answers. The more problems the participant answered correctly, the more money they would earn. The researchers collected saliva samples before and after the test. They found that participants with high levels of testosterone and cortisol were more likely to overstate the number of problems solved correctly. Participants who cheated had lower cortisol levels on the day of the experiment and reported less emotional distress after the test. The results seem to indicate that cheating provided stress reduction. Dishonorable behavior is reinforced because stress reduction stimulates the brain’s reward centers. Cheating is a prominent issue not only on college campuses, but also in businesses and agencies everywhere. Researchers are hopeful that further research can help to create effective interventions for unethical behavior.

If you’ve ever stepped into the College of Optical Sciences at the UA, it has something pointedly futuristic about it. In the lobby stands a hefty sphere of glass, propped on a stand and receiving ample light from beyond the large northerly glass walls. “You can form an image of the landscape by placing a piece of paper behind it; you’ll see that the image is actually curved and upside down,” said Travis Sawyer, a senior studying optical sciences and engineering. “Seeing people do this is how we tell who’s new here.” Sawyer along with Stephanie Guzman, Nicholas Lyons and Fabian Wildenstein, all seniors studying optical sciences and engineering, have certainly earned their way into this challenging and bright world of optics— they recently won the Robert S.
Hilbert Memorial Optical Design Competition, a competition housed by Synopsys to encourage the use of their optics imaging software, Code V. This hefty achievement is amplified by the fact that they are amongst the youngest ever to win. “Most of the winners have been graduate students,” said Yuzura Takashima, an associate professor for the College of Optical Sciences and the team’s adviser. “This was the first group pursuing their B.S. to win.” The group members have an explanation for why they were successful despite not being graduate students like the rest of the winners. “I think it helped that we got along so well,” Wildenstein said. Certainly each had an enthusiasm for their field of a study, a discipline that combines elegant trigonometry with the topsy-turvy world of mirrors, distorted images and redirecting light itself.
“My first introduction to optics was one of my natural science gen eds, called Light, Color and Vision,” Guzman said. “I was excited about everything we studied. I remember going back to my roommate and being like, ‘Look at that Polaris!’” But even with their passion and teamwork, winning wasn’t an easy task. The students started with only basic knowledge and had to learn Code V as well as come up with an idea. The original inspiration came from a mission to one of Saturn’s moons back in the ’90s. The imager that was deployed captured data about the atmosphere of Titan. It rotated and took images of the atmosphere, but was essentially useless on the actual terrain of the moon. The team’s idea was to make and optimize an imager high-resolution enough to collect data in nothing less than the liquid methane seas of Titan. The key to their task was Synopsys’s program, designed for imaging optics and programmed to
do the mathematical heavy lifting. The hardest part about utilizing the actual Code V program? “Opening it up,” said Alonzo Espinoza, an optical sciences graduate student who guided the team in their project. Starting as they had with a basic knowledge of working with such complex technology, it’s clear how strong the team was. In a conference room in the Meinel Optical Sciences building, they chat cheerfully amongst each other. Around discussions of how they’ll spend the reward from winning, Lyons and Sawyer cite where they’re applying to graduate school, new innovations in optics and plans for the semester. “Tuition…” Lyons said. “Tuition,” Sawyer agreed, nodding.

What can I do to avoid weight gain? Whether you’re a new student trying to avoid the infamous “freshman 15,” or you’re a seasoned Wildcat looking to lose a few pounds, maintaining a healthy weight while adjusting to life on campus can be tough. Here are a few tips to skip unwanted weight gain and stay healthy at the UA. 1. Resist “non-hunger” cues that drive you to eat like boredom, loneliness, procrastination, stress, and fatigue. Have low-cal snacks on hand (baby carrots, popcorn, apple slices, grape tomatoes, frozen juice bars, etc. ) or make a list of things to do instead of eating (go for a walk, call a friend/ family member, take a power nap, etc.). 2. Watch what you drink. Calories from alcohol (and food after), soda, energy drinks, juices, smoothies, coffee drinks and sports drinks can add up quickly. 3. Don’t skip meals! Mainstream diet advice tells us to eat smaller, more frequent meals to achieve a healthy weight, but research shows that
while increasing meal frequency does not promote greater weight loss, it may help decrease hunger and improve appetite control. Bottom line? It’s important to eat regularly to avoid energy slumps, cravings and eventual “catch up” overeating. 4. Watch your portions. Eating oversized portions can be a big obstacle if you’re trying to control your weight. Save yourself some calories and money by boxing up half of your food when eating out and saving it for later. If you’re preparing your own food, fill at least half your plate with vegetables and/or fruit and the remaining space with the other parts of your meal. You can also eat from smaller plates or drink from smaller glasses for better portion control. 5. Keep moving. If you haven’t checked out Campus Rec, now is the time! Whether you like exercising alone or with a friend, they have tons of activities and programs to choose from. For a full list of activities visit rec.arizona.edu.

that increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases caused the disappearance of glaciers. Due to the Industrial Revolution and human impact, current CO2 levels are substantially higher than they were during the end of the last Ice Age almost 19,000 years ago. Then, atmospheric CO2 levels increased from 180 parts per million to 280 parts per million. The levels have risen from 280 to about 400 parts per million in just the past 150 years. The findings confirm the prediction that the world’s glaciers will continue to disappear within the next few centuries if greenhouse gases continue to increase at the current rate. Future glacial loss will contribute to rising sea levels and influence local water supplies. Researchers noted that glacial melting on a regional scale could also be caused by changes in the Earth’s orbit around the sun, or shifts in ocean heat distribution. However, only the change in greenhouse gas levels could cause a simultaneous global retreat of glaciers.
MATHEMATICS & TECHNOLOGY Inspired by nature, researchers have created an ultrasound sensor that can detect dangerous cracks in structures like aircraft engines, oil and gas pipelines and nuclear plants. The ultrasound sensor, or transducer, identifies structural defects by emitting ultrasonic frequencies. Before, man-made transducers could only send out a narrow range of frequencies, thus restricting their ability to find defects in structures that were of a more varied size or geometry. The newly developed transducer is founded on a natural mathematical phenomenon called fractals. Fractals are irregular shapes that form repeatedly to create complex-looking objects like ferns, snowflakes or cauliflower. By using fractals to design the transducers, complicated sound waves with different frequencies can be sent out to improve safety of structures and to lower financial costs due to early detection of structural defects and less need for inspection.

Students soar with summer STEM BY Alexandria Farrar
The Daily Wildcat
It was 3:40 p.m. on a muggy July day. A slew of bottles decorated with cardboard wings and colorful drawings laid scattered on the lawn by the University of Arizona School of Dance. Just moments before, the pressurized rockets burst into the cloudy sky. Set off on their voyage by an enthusiastic countdown, each rocket was the individual handiwork of one of the campers from Wildcat Rocketry, a camp put on by Arizona Youth University. Over the summer, the UA was home to a slew of science camps like this one aimed at local students. On the last day of the camp season, most of the kids were picked up by parents and carted back home. However, one young girl with a long braid and a lot of energy remained with the counselors, scooping water from a Styrofoam cup into the rocket, returning again and again for takeoff. “[I’ve launched the rocket] three times now,” said Sedona, the 11-year-old camper. “There’s no dents or anything. Just some rust. I think it’s rust.” Weeks before, Sedona was part of a program called Shoot for the Stars, an overnight camp for girls hosted at the UA in partnership with Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona, a strong proponent of getting young women involved with science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Aiva Teskey, a mechanical engineering senior and the lead instructor for Shoot for the Stars, said what gets girls interested in
STEM is knowing other girls will be there. “In the other camps usually we get four or five girls, but often times they end up by themselves,” Teskey said. Shoot for the Stars was girls-only, and campers stayed and slept overnight on campus for three days while working with curriculum originally developed by NASA. The camp is designed to introduce campers to STEM-passionate women leaders for younger generations. “If all the instructors you have are old guys with mustaches and you’re a 12-yearold girl, it’s going to be hard for you to see yourself there,” said Jocelyn Gehring, a program coordinator for AYU. The new program seemed to be a success with a total enrollment of 14 girls. “It definitely was a positive experience,” said Joyelle Dancy, a public health senior and camp counselor. “They definitely enjoyed it.” As Dancy, Gehring and Teskey see it, these programs are essential for giving girls an empowering identity as young women and as analytical and inventive thinkers, especially in a world that still struggles to see how much women excel in these areas. “Looking around at the number of women [in STEM] is disheartening, especially being African-American, but it gives me courage,” Dancy said. “It makes me want to start the trend.”
Top 5 Hacks to Stay in Your Sweet Spot*
* Sweet Spot [ˈswēt ˈspät ] – Drinking zone when the positive, social benefits of alcohol exceed the negative aspects most people would rather avoid (e.g. getting sick, bad decisions, hangovers, etc.). This typically occurs at a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .05 or under. That dude always stays in the sweet spot and never hurls. Here at the UA, not everyone drinks, but if you do, here are few easy hacks to help you stay in your sweet spot. 1) Know thy sweet spot. Pretty obvious, right? BAC is influenced by your gender, weight, how many drinks you have and how fast you drink them. Download a BAC app on your phone so you can plan ahead and drink smarter. From there, you can get a sense of how many drinks will keep you in the sweet spot for a defined period of time. 2) Have a plan. Experienced drinkers avoid alcohol’s ill effects by sticking to a set number of drinks. Have that magic number in mind before you go out and count as you go to stay on track. 3) Drink beer. You heard that right. Having drinks that contain less alcohol by volume means you spend more time socializing and less time
4) Measure twice, drink once. Compared to beer, mixed drinks take a little more work on your part if you want to keep your social buzz. Why? Because if you don’t measure the alcohol correctly, you could easily wind up with two or three standard drinks from a heavy pour, when you just needed one. Keep a standard-sized shot glass around to help, or check out your local dollar store – they often have pint glasses with guide lines on the side to help you mix like a pro. 5) Drink H2O. Water counteracts alcohol’s diuretic properties and can help fend off hangovers the next day. This magic elixir of life also helps moderate your BAC while you are drinking when you take water breaks.

Earth’s galactic garbage dump BY PATRICK O’CONNOR The Daily Wildcat
Millions of pieces of space junk are orbiting the Earth. About 500,000 of those pieces are the size of a double-A battery and speed around the Earth at 22,000 miles per hour, according to the NASA Orbital Debris Program Office. Each piece has more energy than a Honda Civic traveling 25 mph and could irreversibly damage a satellite responsible for producing television broadcasts, weather forecasts or maps of your hometown. Some orbital debris, such as pebble-sized meteoroids, is natural and has been circling our planet since it formed 4.6 billion years ago. The most dangerous debris is the relics of human activity in space. This space junk can range in size from a tiny paint fleck to a floating double-decker bus. Orbital debris threatens astronauts’ lives on the International Space Station or projects like the Hubble Space Telescope. Like most of the debris, these objects float in low Earth orbit between 100 and 1,200 miles above the Earth. “Satellites are used for weather prediction, communications, national defense, as well as gathering scientific knowledge,” said Eugene Stansbery, the program manager for the NASA Orbital Debris Program Office, in an email interview. “Protecting satellites from orbital debris increases the cost of these services as well as having the potential of disrupting them.” Following an object 1,000 miles away Although NASA estimates that half a million pieces of orbital debris are as small as a marble, it is only tracking around 22,000 of these objects, according to a 2011 report. NASA collaborates with the Department of Defense to track orbital debris using the United States Space Surveillance Network, which can only detect objects longer than a credit card. “NASA statistically samples the environment for debris sizes smaller than what the network tracks,” Stansbery wrote. “We use radars, optical telescopes, impact sensors in orbit, and the examination of returned space-exposed hardware for these statistical measurements.” One of these optical telescopes is the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, or UKIRT, located on the Big Island of Hawaii. Unlike traditional telescopes that capture visible light, UKIRT detects infrared radiation, which humans perceive as heat. NASA supports UKIRT because infrared radiation is a reliable way to detect an object’s size and shape, according to UKIRT director Richard Green. Some debris can be difficult to classify using just visual light, Green said. Traditional telescopes have a
hard time detecting objects like solar panel fragments because they absorb visible light. UKIRT, however, can detect this space junk because the panels reflect infrared radiation toward Earth. “Good, working telescopes could be put out of business if there were a collision,” Green said. Doctor, I got a bad case of Kessler syndrome In 2007, a Chinese missile test destroyed a defunct weather satellite, creating more than 2,000 traceable pieces of orbital debris. Scientists estimated that the weapons test created an additional 148,000 pieces that were too small to track. Some of them might have struck the International Space Station and threatened the lives of the astronauts aboard in 2011. The first accidental satellite collision occurred in 2009, when a decommissioned Russian satellite collided with a satellite owned by Iridium Communications, an American company. Normally, satellite operators maneuver their satellites away from disaster in a process known as station keeping, but Iridium Communications operators were not aware that their satellite was in danger. In the future, however, no amount of station keeping will be able to protect satellites because there will be too much debris to fly through. In 1978, two NASA scientists released a paper forecasting a growing cloud of debris around the Earth. The scientists argued that as more satellites and debris orbit the Earth, the chances of collisions will increase. In turn, more collisions will create fragments that will further increase the likelihood of collisions. These collisions will form a chain reaction and eventually lead to a thick cloud of space junk that will be dangerous to pass through. Astronomers call this the Kessler syndrome and worry that satellites are particularly vulnerable to this catastrophic cascade. “Some spacecraft, such as the International Space Station, have added shielding that protects them from small debris,” Stansbery wrote. “However, satellites are at risk for debris too small to track and too large to shield against.” According to a 2011 NASA report, Earth has reached the tipping point for the Kessler syndrome, which makes events like the 2009 accidental collision more likely. As more debris builds up around Earth’s orbit, it will be more difficult and more costly to launch new satellites into orbit.

to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere and decay, according to the NASA Orbital Debris Program Office’s website. To combat the growing cloud of space junk, scientists have developed new technology to clean up the skies. “We will need to employ multiple methods to clean up orbital debris,” said David Gaylor, an associate professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering for the UA, in an email. Gaylor had worked with Iridium Communications to protect its satellite network against collisions. “Many methods of removing debris from orbit have been proposed, and each has their strengths and weaknesses. The issue is cost,” he said. The DOD is investigating ways to use robots to recycle damaged or broken satellites and thus to reduce the need for more launches. NASA is researching ways to use lasers to push space junk out of dangerous orbits. While these methods seem promising, the U.S. has legal authority over only about 30 percent of all space debris. The Outer Space Treaty, which the U.S. ratified in 1967, gives countries control over only the objects they launched into space. Even if the U.S. developed a system to remove space debris, it would only legally be allowed to clean up its own debris. “Orbital debris clean up missions can begin once all of the legal issues have been worked out and the technology has been demonstrated,” Gaylor wrote. “In other words,
Since the launch of the first satellite in 1957, humanity has littered the skies with junk that ranges in size from a paint fleck to a double-decker bus. The United States Space Survellience Network is able to track orbiting debris that is larger than a credit card. A 2007 Chinese weapons

not for quite a while.” Recent efforts have not been more effective. The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs released space debris mitigation guidelines in 2010. Although promising, these guidelines are nonbinding, and countries suffer no adverse effects if they ignore them. “Orbital debris is an international issue,” Stansbery wrote. “No single agency or country
can solve the problem by itself.” NASA is a key player in the international effort to stop space junk from building up to catastrophic levels, but its budget for research and development has dropped to its lowest point since 1988. Without strong funding, satellites that are crucial for our everyday lives will become more endangered by Earth’s floating landfill.
“One of the best things an average person can do [to stop orbital debris] is support and advocate for a strong, vigorous, ambitious space program,” Stansbery wrote.

Club records college memories on film BY Alex Furrier
The Daily Wildcat
Eventually, everyone gets old, but at least as we grow old memories remain—memories that enable us to reminisce about the good old days. Do you want to capture those memories on film? To have a time capsule testament to the best years of your life? If not, maybe you aren’t smart enough for college. If yes, the University Filmmakers Organization is for you. The UFO does not spend its hours searching the skies for signs of foreign life, but instead creating memorable films, networking likeminded and cinematically interested students and still managing to have fun along the way. The list of requirements to join the UFO is not a long one; all that is necessary is an interest in any aspect of filmmaking. From the total newbie to the veteran director, all are welcome, as experience is not a requisite to join. The UFO prides itself on the sense of community and unification that flows through its members. This bond materializes from a common goal: a semester long project of creating

to hone and increase the skills involved in the creation of a film. The club makes use of top-notch equipment the average student could not afford, and the production process, from beginning to end, spurs growth in filmmaking skills of all sorts. Every member can serve on the film crew and is able to run for their desired position. There are enough positions for everyone, as film crews encompass positions such as director, assistant director, director of photography, costume designer, make-up designer, production assistants and many more. All the hard work pays off in the satisfaction of a quality film. UFO often screens their semesterlong project as part of The Loft Cinema’s First Friday Shorts, and this semester they will submit their film to Campus MovieFest.

Illustration club opens to all students The Graphic Design and Illustration club has decided to allow students of all studies to join rather than the historical membership of fine art students BY LIOR ATTIAS
The Daily Wildcat
The Graphic Design and Illustration club has historically served as a program for undergraduate students looking to enter the selective University of Arizona College of Fine Arts School of Art. The program requires a full portfolio for admission, and GDI helps students prepare for the application process. GDI was created to help younger students perfect their portfolio and increase their chances to get into the major by reviewing students’ portfolios before they are submitted. Jessie Marman, a senior studying visual communication with an emphasis in design, serves as its president. “The main thing the club used to do was look at incoming art students’ portfolios before they turned them in,” Marman said.
As such, the process to get into the club was reserved only for the top students of the School of Art. “The Graphic Design and Illustration club historically functioned as a program for people who were already in it, since it was pretty competitive to get in,” Marman added. However, as the new president, Marman is looking to expand the direction and vision of the club. “The main focus is to build a community among our arts program, because it is split between illustration and design. [The art program] is so small that it doesn’t really get to interact with all the different aspects in it.” Through the club, Marman wants to get students of all academic programs in the School of Art working together and in communication. Just as advertising requires many aspects

Club teaches the art of home brewing BY Justice Amarillas The Daily Wildcat
The UA always encourages its students to join clubs as a means of getting more involved with campus life, but clubs that stray from the academic path are limited, and it can be difficult to find one with a unique flair. For those searching for a club that’s out of the ordinary and who have an interest in various alcoholic drinks, the Arizona Home Brew Club may be a perfect match. The Home Brew Club is eponymously named for its activities, where members brew their own beers, wines, meads and ciders. Not only does the club brew its own beverages, it also teaches its members how to make those beverages through a variety of brewing sessions. Firsthand learning is a key component that members experience, whether they are veteran brewers or new to the art of brewing and fermenting. “[I’ve] always been quite interested in brewing my own beer and wine,” said Robert Meares, a studio art junior. “The club would help bring knowledge and understanding of the techniques used to make great beer or wine from home.” Fortunately, members do not have to be over 21 to join the Home Brew Club. However, members must be at least 21

replied, “It does. I know brewing beer is an art and a difficult one. Plus, I would learn skills for an interesting hobby that I can keep my whole life.” Not only can the Home Brew Club be an interesting and memorable addition to any future resume, the club’s teachings on the brewing and fermenting processes can also be applied outside the club. Anyone can continue to brew their own alcoholic creations with a complementary 10 percent discount at any of Tucson’s three local brew stores: Brew Your Own Brew, Brewers Connection and MR.BEER®. “This club isn’t for people who just want to get drunk,” said Raymundo Solis, an undeclared sophomore and club member. “They help you find the tools you need to help get started and make your own home brew. Despite the hard work, you still get to relax, and it’s a lot of fun.” If the Home Brew Club provides the activities, atmosphere and unique touch you’re interested in, email Aidan Blum personally at aidanblum@email.arizona.edu to ensure a spot on the Arizona Home Brew list.

with these groups
BY VICTORIA PEIRERA The Daily Wildcat
A cappella groups have been around long before “Pitch Perfect” called attention to them, and the UA has a handful of award-winning groups of its own, each with their own signature style. There are currently five a cappella groups on campus, some with years of performances and competitions under their belts and others just beginning to grace the stage with their talents. From events around town to competing at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella, these groups are harmonizing their hearts out. CatCall is the only all-male a cappella group and the first to form at the UA, in 2008. Since their formation, CatCall has produced two albums, Scratch Tracks in 2009 and 9 Lives in 2012, and a third on the way. The group has made it to the semifinals stage of the ICCA for two years in a row. “In terms of the music that we sing, there really is no set genre,” said Dalton Shade, a senior studying marketing and
Accapella
business and the president of CatCall. “We’ve sang country, we’ve sang pop; it just depends on what our members want to sing and arrange.” Auditions for CatCall are being held tonight from 7-10 p.m. in Room 204 of the Music building and are open to all interested. After CatCall opened the door to a cappella at the UA, the first coed club, Noteriety, formed. The group has never really had a specific genre of music and their selections are known to span decades at times. “We do a lot of charity events around campus,” said Savannah Hernandez, a junior studying film and television and Noteriety’s marketing and advertising chair. “We’ve done stuff for Residence Life, the University Medical Center … and we do Valentine’s Day singing, too.” Hernandez said that although Noteriety only currently has 11 members, the club is hoping to raise that number to somewhere around 16 to get the sound they desire. Those looking to audition can visit room 204 in the Music building at 8 p.m. on Sept. 1 to attempt to join Noteriety for this upcoming season. The second coed a cappella group,
Amplified, is celebrating its fourth year. Although they haven’t been around as long as their coed counterpart, the group has gone from placing ninth to fourth in the ICCA in the past two years, and has performed during halftimes at Spring Fling and a women’s basketball game. “I think we have a lot of upcoming talent,” said Eric Woods, one of Amplified’s tenors and an economics junior. “We all just get together and have a good time, and it’s great that we make good music, but it’s mainly just a fun thing that we do together.” Amplified’s musical genre is never set in stone, and they tend to perform whatever songs their members request. Although the audition time and date has not been determined, the group is still looking for some new voices, so be on the lookout for audition information. Both of the two remaining a cappella groups, Dolce Voces and Enharmonics, are exclusively female. Dolce has been around since 2011, whereas Enharmonics began just about a year ago. “Our president, Dana Douglas, is the founder, and she has always been really into a cappella music,” said Enharmonics’
music director Sam Feldman, a creative writing senior. “She had this dream of starting her own group.… So last year in the fall, she finally did it.” Although they are new to the a cappella scene, the Enharmonics have already found their signature sassy and girlempowering style. They plan to compete this coming year in the ICCA and are holding auditions on Friday from 5-7 p.m. in Room 204 of the Music building. Whether the group is coed or gender exclusive, brand new or several years old, one thing that each has in common are the connections that are formed between the singers. “I think there’s a bond there that all groups have … in a different way,” Shade said. No matter what group one listens to, campus a capella groups will make for unforgettable performances.

Dance club focuses on community

Students use club to teach swing dance to the community, both on campus and off BY ariella Noth
The Daily Wildcat
For those interested in getting some exercise and having fun, an option that has been on campus for two years is Arizona Swing Cats. The club focuses on two styles of swing known as Lindy Hop and West Coast swing. The club is open to dancers of all levels of experience. “We teach intermediate lessons and beginner lessons; all are taught by semi-professionals,” said Ali Muller, president of Swing Cats and a junior studying ecology and evolutionary biology. This year, Swing Cats is planning on bringing in champions from outside of Arizona to hold workshops for its members, Muller said. Outside of the club’s Tuesday and Thursday gatherings, it also has a social outreach program in which members who are comfortable with the dances can teach younger individuals at high schools.
Every semester, Swing Cats has one large intercollegiate event in which they invite other colleges to come and “dance the weekend away,” Muller said. Swing Cats puts an emphasis on being family friendly in all aspects of the club, including the outreach program. In addition, the club hosts a social dancing event on Mondays at 7 p.m. on the UA Mall, welcoming anyone into the community. Muller said that while the team doesn’t take part in any competitions at the moment, some members compete on behalf of the team. Rachel Onken, a pre-nursing sophomore and treasurer for the club, and Carol Field, a linguistics sophomore and vice president, said that they joined after discovering swing dancing in high school. “I started lindy hopping my junior year of high school because my friend said, ‘Let’s go to this fun place,’ and I said, ‘O.K.’ I got really into it and I came to
Tucson and there was nothing,” Onken said. Both Onken and Field said that after finding out Muller was creating the club, they were eager to join. Muller said at the end of last semester the club had approximately 45 due-paying members. She expects to have around 80 people when it starts next week. Dues for the club run at $45 for the year or $30 per semester. The club usually meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-7 p.m. for intermediate dancers and 7-8 p.m. for beginning dancers in the Ina Gittings building in Studio 16. The first meeting of the semester will be Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 6 p.m. More information for those interested can be found on azswingcats. com or the group’s facebook, “Arizona Swing Cats.”

Finally, your success as students and the UA’s ability to enable that success depends on the safety of our campus community, which is why I also want to take this opportunity to reiterate a message I sent to campus towards the end of the spring semester. In April, I wrote about a series of programs, new personnel and other efforts to combat sexual violence at the UA. This work is ongoing, and it bears repeating that sexual assault and sexual violence are wrong, no matter what the setting, no matter what the circumstances. As I said at that time, this principle is inviolate and undergirds everything we do at the University of Arizona to confront the presence of sexual violence on our campus. As a community of learning, our mission and our values as an institution require that we promote a safe environment for all members of the UA community. It is for that reason that the university has taken measures that include hiring staff who are trained to investigate reports of sexual assault and ensure due process for all
involved, instituting mandatory training for incoming students and adopting the “It’s On Us” bystander intervention program. To help ensure that these efforts are effective, the UA also participated in a campus climate survey focused on attitudes about sexual assault and sexual violence. The results of that survey—which took place on campuses across the country—will be coming soon, and the UA Dean of Students Office and other units within Student Affairs and Enrollment Management are planning to use the insights gleaned from that data as we build new programs and continue to evaluate existing ones. With all of these programs in place, I very much look forward to a productive and enlightening year for all members of our university community. It is wonderful to see all of you back on campus, and I wish you the best of luck as you begin classes this week. Best wishes, and Bear Down! Ann Weaver Hart

Islam rhetoric keeps GOP from useful allies BY COOPER TEMPLE The Daily Wildcat
I
stepped off the plane and followed my fellow flight-mates through the airport to the appallingly long and infuriatingly inefficient process that is U.S. Customs. As I saw others move through without incident, one officer stopped me and asked about the origin of an instrument I was carrying. “It’s from Morocco,” I said, unsurprised by the look of suspicion that filled his face. “This way,” he said, as he pointed through the doors to the additional security checkpoint. Not too long before, I was conversing with an older man sitting next to me on the plane, who asked where I had traveled. Upon hearing I traveled to Morocco, the passenger became interested and asked me if it was “a country full of [jihadis].” Later, when I mentioned to my hometown neighbor that I’m studying Arabic, he commended me for “going to fight the terrorists.” Despite the fear I encountered in the U.S., I never once met a single terrorist during my sevenweek stay in Morocco. Now, this isn’t to say that my brief experiences with Islamophobia are indicative of America as a whole, but my short-lived conversations show clearly that a certain stereotype remains resilient when it comes to Muslims in America. Islamophobia—the dislike of, or prejudice against, Islam or Muslims—is especially prevalent within the Republican Party, the members of which continue to isolate Muslims with unfounded claims and rhetoric. Despite his current popularity in the polls Donald Trump cannot hope for long term success without the eventual inclusion of a more significant portion of minority groups, including Muslims. In fact, Muslims could, logically, be strong supporters of the GOP. In 2007, according to The Daily Beast, “only 13 percent of Muslim Americans earned over $100,000, but that number has now climbed to over 20 percent, eclipsing the average in the [U.S.]” Generally, people earning over $100,000 support fewer taxes and a smaller government, which are two of the core pillars of the republican platform. Forging an even stronger potential connection, however, is the idea of religious
“
liberty, which is extremely important to pious Muslims and a cornerstone of conservative ideology as well. Despite the logic, though, the GOP continues to act perversely toward the communities of Muslims in the U.S. During the first Republican debate, George Pataki and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham both declared that they would support the monitoring of mosques in order to combat Islamic extremism. Republican candidate Carly Fiorina recently came under attack from other conservatives—such as Michele Bachmann and several news outlets—for asserting in a 2001 speech that Islamic societies have contributed greatly to the world. When asked at an Iowa rally how to tell the difference between “peaceful Muslims and radical [jihadis],” 2016 presidential hopeful Rick Santorum argued that, “if you look at Islamists, they all have the same ideology.” Candidates from all corners of the GOP have come to embrace an attitude of bigotry against Islam, which has driven potential Muslim Americans voters to align with different candidates. In 2012, Graham bluntly stated that the Republican Party was not winning with demographics because “[the GOP] is not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.” These outdated views on social issues and many matters regarding race show the Republican Party has still not evolved within the last decade, and GOP candidates suffer from their views at the polls: In 2008, 89 percent of Muslims voted for Barack Obama, followed by 85 percent in 2012. As the party continues with its sweeping condemnation of Islam as a whole, an entire class of American citizens quickly becomes disenchanted. If conservatives want to win in 2016, and especially in the elections thereafter, they desperately need a reformation of their core social values.

Byrne discusses vision for Athletics BY Ezra amacher
Board of Regents approval in the winter.
Arizona director of athletics Greg Byrne sat down with The Daily Wildcat for a one-on-one interview last week. In the interview, Byrne addressed a wide range of topics from the new coaching hires to Arizona’s role in the upcoming NBA 2K video game.
What would [the new academic building] provide that you don’t have right now? It would give us a lot better space for our academic support than what we currently have. From computer labs to tutor areas to classrooms, it would give us more efficient use of space than what we have right now. We’re divided up into a bunch different spaces in our building that aren’t sometimes as quiet as we would like them to be. This will be a very good step for us.
The Daily Wildcat
Daily Wildcat: How do you plan on keeping ZonaZoo football attendance up with a home schedule that is perhaps not as exciting as years past? Greg Byrne: Hopefully the ZonaZoo wants to come and watch the Arizona Wildcats play, first of all. They’ve been outstanding. We couldn’t ask for better support from our students. We’ve challenged them to stay the entire game. We’ve made progress at it. It’s still not where we want it to be, but it’s improved and we really appreciated them being a part of that. We’ve spent a lot of time working with the ZonaZoo leadership to create an atmosphere in Arizona Stadium that students want to be a part of. Last year, you had some cool promotions where it was TVs or watches. Are you going to be doing anything similar to that this year? We’re going to be doing some giveaways, but we’re always working to engage ZonaZoo. What have the new coaches (Tabitha Yim for gymnastics, Jay Johnson for baseball) brought right away? They’ve brought a lot of energy to the table for us. They’ve been very hands on working with their student-athletes on their teams. They’ve also been out there tremendously from a recruiting standpoint. They’ve put together good staffs that I think will coach our student-athletes very well and care about them academically, athletically and socially. There is a new academic building in the workings. Is there any progress on that? Yep. We’re still raising money for it. We have about $2.5 million to go. The goal is to— if at all possible—to break ground based off of Arizona

P
eople love to criticize the performance of actors whenever a blockbuster movie is released. There isn’t any love or respect for the people behind the scenes, such as the director, producer and writers. In reality, those contributors are who actually make the movie a possibility. Arizona football assistant coach Tony Dews might have the most important role for the Wildcats this season. Of course there are the lead roles such as quarterback Anu Solomon and linebacker Scooby Wright III, but Dews, along with other assistant coaches, are what make the team a well-oiled machine. Dews coaches the wide receivers, a position group that, on paper, appears to
be one of the deepest in not only the Pac12 Conference, but also nationally. That was the tale last season, but times have changed from a year ago. Dews, now going into his second season, might be the most essential piece of Arizona’s coaching staff. For the first time in the Rich Rodriguez era, Arizona faithful will know who’s going to be the starting quarterback heading into the season, and having Solomon back can strengthen the receiving group. The only departure from the receiving core is Austin Hill, due to graduation. On top of that, Nate Phillips is also returning from a season ending foot injury suffered in 2014. “One player that surprised us in the scrimmage and stood out to us was [Phillips],” Dews said. “[He] had a great scrimmage, but other than that, no individual receiver has stood out us.” There are different roles even with familiar faces returning. If this were a movie, Arizona’s leading cast would be David Richards, Samajie Grant and Cayleb Jones. The supporting cast would include
Nate Phillips, Trey Griffey and freshman Shun Brown. “That’s what makes our receiving core so great — is that I’m able to throw in six or seven guys in our rotation,” Dews said. It’s still unclear about who’s going to take the alpha dog role, but having Richards, a redshirt senior and the biggest receiver on the team standing at 6’4”, means an Arizona veteran could fill that role. Grant could be another option to lead the wide receivers, as he attempts to make his last season in Tucson one to remember considering his troubled finish last year. Grant was cited for DUI and was suspended for the first half of the Pac-12 Championship. Grant’s troubles late last season shone a light on another aspect of Dews’ job. Football isn’t everything for the assistant and receivers coach. He understands the principles in preparing young men for the real world once Arizona Stadium stops being their home. With players hailing anywhere from Compton, Calif., to Orlando, Fla., and
coming from different backgrounds, Dews applies the same coaching techniques for any player. Not every player makes it to the NFL, so applying life lessons while coaching the game seems to be the best mix for a bright future. “When we go out to recruit, we always ask the recruits what they want to do once football ends,” Dews said. “Not getting a degree doesn’t mean your life ends, it just makes it harder than[if one actually gets] a degree.” Whether Dews is coaching corner routes or handing out life tips, his role as coach of Arizona’s most dynamic position group is integral to the team’s success. If Dews can control this cast of receivers, the ending to Arizona’s season can result in a grand finale. And Dews being the director, it might also result in his calling Tucson home for many years to come.

Wildcats stay busy over summer Nonetheless, the Wildcats enter the season ranked No. 17 in the preseason poll, their highest since 2005. Returning just one senior in Halli Amaro, the Wildcats bring in the No. 14 ranked class in the nation. The biggest loss for the team is 6-foot8 outside hitter Ashley Harris, who left the program and the university. Arizona Athletics administration staff also found their summer a success. The division reworked their partnership with Nike, which now lasts until 2025. The Wildcat Club member count has increased to 12,900, setting a record for the second straight year. The UA also picked five individuals and four NCAA Championship teams for induction into the UA Sports Hall of Fame. Most notably, former Arizona baseball head coach Andy Lopez, who coached the Wildcats for 14 seasons. With the summer officially in the books and fall classes underway, it is time to see all the summer preparation pay off.

It was a busy schedule for Arizona Athletics this summer. Arizona gymnastics published a YouTube video of the hit song “Watch Me (Whip/ Nae Nae),” catching the attention of SportsCenter and racking up more than 320,000 views. It helped that the video featured Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez dancing and was picked up by Bleacher Report. The GymCats also began their next chapter with head coach Tabitha Yim taking the reigns of the Wildcats. Arizona football found themselves ranked in the AP Top 25 preseason poll for the first time in 16 years. Preseason camp made the Wildcats stronger, more experienced and ready to come back with vengeance, especially after their poor ending to last season. But the highlight moment for the Wildcats during preseason camp was when Rodriguez canceled practice. He gathered every player, coach and manager onto the practice field in full pads and equipment, and without telling anybody, canceled practice. The
players went ballistic. Arizona basketball had its ups and downs this summer, especially with recruiting. The Wildcats lost the 2016 5-star forward T.J. Leaf to decommitment. The Wildcats also missed out on 5-star shooting guard Markelle Fultz, who chose Pac-12 Conference foe Washington over the Wildcats. But as any true Wildcat fan might know, trust in the system and especially in Arizona basketball head coach Sean Miller. Arizona baseball found a new head coach in Jay Johnson in June. Johnson brings experience to the feild, as he was the head coach of the University of Nevada for the previous two seasons and has served in a coaching role since 2002. The Wildcats finished 31-24 last season, but struggled in their conference and finished with a 12-18 record. Moving forward, Johnson and UA baseball must push themselves in one of the more difficult conferences in the country. Arizona volleyball has much to prove after losing their senior captain and star Madi Kingdon to graduation.

Offensive line battles through tough offseason BY kyle hansen
The Daily Wildcat
Offensive lines in football are often the unsung heroes of a successful team. They battle in the trenches each play to give both the quarterback time to pass and the running back a hole to run through. Earlier this summer, Arizona’s o-line took a hit when it lost center Carter Wood for the season with a chronic foot injury. Wood, who was projected to start, will be replaced by senior Cayman Bundage at center. Bundage is moving over from the left guard position. Despite this setback, offensive line coach Jim Michalczik has been happy with the work his o-line has put in. “As a coach, you always want to take the next step,” Michalczik said at Sunday’s media day. “I’m happy with how we’re working and I’m happy how we’re competing. I’m looking forward to [seeing] how we develop this year.” Michalczik has also been pleased with Bundage’s transition from guard to center. “Cayman’s done a good job of picking up center,” Michalczik said. “He’s getting more consistent with his snapping, which is kind of opening some things up and making more competition at that guard spot now. Your center is probably your most athletic

guy, quickest guy, and he’s got to be a good leverage player, kind of like wrestling, because that guy is about two inches away from you sometimes and he’s about 330 pounds.” Meanwhile, Freddie Tagaloa is the favorite to win the left tackle position. Tagaloa transferred to the UA from California last year and redshirted. He started seven games in two years for Cal. Though Tagaloa hasn’t played football in
over a year, Michalczik liked what he saw in Fall camp. “He’s got all the tools,” Michalczik said. “In the scrimmage [Saturday], things clicked in the run game where he wasn’t just blocking guys; he was moving them.” Tagaloa is part of a versatile and athletic o-line that contributes to a fast paced offense. Last season, Arizona averaged 464 yards and 34.5 points a game, both among
the highest in the conference. Quarterback Anu Solomon benefited from a mostly stable o-line, throwing for 3,793 yards and running for another 291. Running back Nick Wilson also tallied another 1,375 yards on the ground. As far as preparation for the protection of Wilson and Solomon, Michalczik believes the offensive line will prepare for the upcoming season in the same way as last year. “Obviously those guys did a great job. For us, it’s more about us doing a great job,” Michalczik said. “We don’t want anyone getting to the quarterback. Sacks is a tough one because sometimes it’s not always the line, but we have a goal that we’re not going to give up any o-line sacks.” Michalczik was also impressed with his freshmen on the team. In particular, he said Alex Kosinski is one player who will be in the mix to be an impact player on the line. “He graduated early and came in the spring,” Michalczik said. “Meanwhile, the other guys are still trying to figure [the system] out.” As the season progresses, the impact of Wood’s injury and ability of the o-line to adapt will truly come to light.

Soccer impresses in early wins, looks poised for strong season BY ryan kelapire The Daily Wildcat
Behind strong play from both the offense and defense, Arizona women’s soccer has gotten off to an impressive 2-0 start this season with wins over Abilene Christian and Santa Clara. Offensively, the team leads the Pac-12 Conference in goals and assists with six and five, respectively. They also are averaging 18.5 shots per game, and have their shooting percentage up to 16.2 percent, a 6.5 percent increase from last season’s mark. Sophomore Gabi Stoian is the main cog in the offensive machine. She leads the conference in points and is tied for the lead in goals with three. This is not much of a surprise, though. Last season, she led the Wildcats in scoring as a freshman with 13 goals. Add the three that she has this year, and she’s already the eighth alltime scorer in school history.
While Stoian may be the one scoring most often, it’s been a team effort so far. “A lot of it comes from my teammates. We all work hard, especially the back. We build up the midfield, that’s the only way it gets to us in the front.” Stoian said after her two-goal performance against Abilene Christian University. Head coach Tony Amato also mentioned the duo of Charlotte Brascia and Cece Bilginer as a big reason for the team’s offensive success. The two forwards helped put Arizona in scoring position repeatedly in the first two games. “When [Bilginer] and [Brascia] work, and they work together, they’re a handful,” Amato said. Bilginer scored the go-ahead goal in Sunday’s game against Santa Clara University off a well-placed through ball from Brascia. Brascia is currently tied for the lead in assists in the Pac12 with two. If they can become a consistent
threat with Stoian, the offense could continue to be a nightmare to defend. “[Brascia] is as talented as anyone we have. It’s a matter of getting her to work and do that all the time. When she does that, it’s super effective,” Amato said. While the offense has been efficient and effective, the defense has been equally as good, if not better. The Wildcats have given up just one goal in the first two games. Even more impressive is they’ve only allowed 11 total shots, with just five of them on goal. The defense’s dominance has been a big reason why the offense has been so high-powered. “Once we started defending hard and pressing, we made it difficult for them to play out,” Amato said after the 4-0 win against Abilene Christian. “That led to set pieces, corners, long throws and a lot of chances came off of those, and I thought that made a big difference in the game.” How has the defense been able to

lock down opponents? Perhaps it’s because of Lainey Burdett’s vocality in the net. The freshman doesn’t hesitate to point out something to her teammates in front of her. “It’s been really nice having someone behind me that can see what I can’t see,” center back Sheaffer Skadsen said about the goalie. “She can relay things to me, and I can relay them out … It’s been really helpful.” Amato added that one of the reasons Burdett won the starting goalie position is because of her
ability to manage the game. Burdett’s early success will play a key component in the Wildcats continuing their hot start. The Wildcats will travel to Flagstaff to play NAU on Friday. The Lumberjacks were 12-6-4 last year, though Arizona did win the lone matchup between the schools by a score of 1-0.

Wildcats football news and notes BY ezra aMacher The Daily Wildcat
Practice report Tuesday marked Arizona football’s second practice of the fall school semester, and it was a long one. The session went about 45 minutes past schedule. Head coach Rich Rodriguez was upbeat after practice, excited that fall camp is in the past and football season is around the corner. “When school starts, it’s like it’s closer to game time,” Rodriguez said. “When we have our Beanie Bowl [Wednesday], they can really sense it’s a week from game time. I hope they’re getting excited. It’s a fun time.” The biggest news from practice was that former four-star linebacker recruit Jamardre Cobb is switching from defense to offense. Cobb, a redshirt freshman, will play a mix of running back and fullback for the Wildcats this season., according to Rodriguez. Cobb was one of the cornerstones of Arizona’s 2014 recruiting class but never panned out at linebacker after redshirting last year. Rodriguez said Cobb was “buried on the depth chart,” but the move to offense gives him a chance to immediately contribute. “Right now, just in two days, it looks like he’ll be able to help us more on offense,” Rodriguez said. “He’s a 245-pound guy that will put a space on you. So I think it’s going to be a good move for him.” Rodriguez was also asked about any injuries to the team. While he didn’t hinge, he did hint that some injury news could be around the corner. When a reporter asked if there were any serious injuries, Rodriguez replied with a slight chuckle, “There might be.” Take that for what you will. The first official injury report should come out sometime early next week. Rodriguez was also asked about the team’s
youth. The coach said that Arizona has about 34 new additions, including walk-ons. “It’s a good class. It’s a really good class.” A handful of that class got off to an early start with the program by participating in summer sessions. Rodriguez said that the biggest benefit of the period is the early conditioning. “You can tell a guy to run on [his] own and get in shape,” Rodriguez said. “It’s different when you train with 100 other guys and especially when you train and it’s 100 degrees outside [with a] full, experienced strength staff teaching you. I think more than anything it gets them ready physically.” Offensive tackle becomes 18th commitment of 2016 class Arizona football landed a commitment from three-star offensive tackle Bryson Cain early Monday afternoon. With the addition of Cain, Arizona’s 2016 recruiting class grows to 18 members. Cain, a 6-4, 270-pound product of Temecula, Calif., plays for Great Oak High School. He is the second offensive lineman to join the class, the other being four-star commit Michael Eletise. As for what drove Cain to commit to the UA, he told Scout.com that it was his comfort level with the coaching staff as well as his confidence in Arizona’s ability to develop linemen. “I feel very comfortable with Arizona and the staff,” Cain told the site. “I’m looking for [a] scheme that is flexible, but also allows guys to play to their strengths.” According to the recruiting site 247Sports. com, Cain also held offers from a handful of major programs including Kansas, Washington State, Army and Nevada. His commitment moves Arizona’s 247Sports class ranking to No. 26 nationally and fifth in the Pac-12 Conference. — Follow Ezra Amacher @EzraAmacher
