t’s hot.

It’s been hot for the past few months.

Every day there’s another report about a certain part of the world that is breaking records. Normally breaking a record is good.

I just beat my record of staying sane while at my second job. I lasted 45 minutes and next time I plan to last an hour. However, these records aren’t the type you would call Guinness World Records for.

A quick Google search for “temperature” yields that at least one city or state has broken a record.

We all know why: climate change.

A class I took last year had a professor that asked a simple question: “What is the biggest threat to the United States?”

“China” someone blurted out, jokingly (I hope), among other answers that seemed right.

He stopped the class from yelling out answers since it was turning into an auction house for the funniest answer and he said “climate change.”

“We deal with it every day, and every day we don’t do something about it, it gets worse,” he said.

On Aug. 19, Iceland mourned the loss of a prominent glacier Okjokull by posting a warning about climate change, according to a recent article by The New York Times. It’s real, it’s coming and it isn’t stopping on its own.

It’s a big topic to tackle on your own or even with a small team. Believe me, I didn’t know where to start with this broad topic, but I just did.

Which is what we have to do as a community. I’ve seen Tucson making changes, some small, some big. But the most important thing is that changes are happening.

In other areas, I have not seen changes.

I’ve seen companies say they recycle and they are proud of it, but a quick look around the back shows both green and blue containers being emptied into one dumpster.

But what can we do, the small but tenacious college students? The best we can.

We may not be able to make big decisions on policies that major companies have to comply to, but we can be a vehicle of change.

When’s the last time you’ve seen 1.7 million march for change? If your answer

isn’t Hong Kong’s weekend of peaceful protests, then you’ve been under a rock and the first thing you should do is read the news.

For 11 weeks, as of Aug. 20, prodemocracy protesters have been marching through rain and sun in the face of threats from their own government, according to articles from CNN and other networks.

Granted, if we had the University of Arizona student body from 2018, a staggering 38,767, according to figures from University Analytics and Institutional Research, or even half of that, we would see something being put on the ballot.

But how do we get college students who aren’t tenacious or driven to partake in this? Well... you kind of make them. I’m not saying using violence to push them out the door and onto the streets of Downtown Tucson, but coerce them.

Educate them. Most won’t be able to live the life they currently live right now in the near future because so much will change.

Temperatures will change, which will cause a higher rate of evaporation, according to the Center of Science Education, which means people won’t be able to post on Snapchat or Twitter that it’s raining in Tucson, according to my Twitter and Snapchat feed during monsoon season.

Aside from internet clout, other things will be made either unavailable or harder to get.

Tell your friends and your family about the changes that will come inevitably if we don’t do something about it. I urge you to be that annoying friend or family member. One day, they’ll listen to you, because they’ll start to see the effects.

I have had my own family believe it’s not getting hotter, or it’s just a cycle and it’ll just cool off eventually. They ended up sounding like Harold Camping, a man who wronglypredicted doomsday multiple times, because the “cooling off” period they talked about never happened.

Don’t end up like Harold Camping. End up as the next leading scientist or the next great movie star. You can’t star in a movie, or research new technology if there’s no world to do it on.

NICHOLAS TRUJILLO | THE DAILY WILDCAT

While we would not normally give criminal advice, here’s a tip for future conmen: When the police ask for your identity, do not give them a name that sounds like a rejected Marvel comic book character.

University of Arizona Police Department officers were patrolling the east side of campus in search of a man reported to be peering into car windows and pulling on their door handles on Aug. 7 at around 12:15 p.m.

At around 1 p.m., the Tucson Police Department reported a man matching the same description of the person UAPD was looking for also pulling on handles.

A UAPD officer was searching the area around Campbell Avenue near Sixth Street when he spotted a man who matched the description. He drove up to the man and asked to speak with him.

He asked the officer “What now?” to which the officer responded that he matched the description of a man reported acting suspiciously around vehicles.

The man said that the cars belonged to his friends. When the officer questioned him further, the man told him that he was harassing him and that the officer should talk to the man’s lawyer.

The man said that his name was “Steve Stevenson.” However, the officer remembered that the first name of the suspect was something else, obtained from earlier in the day when the man made a call to UAPD using a blue light telephone to report people following him.

The officer pressed him on the issue, but the man swore his real identity was “Steve Stevenson.” He reminded the man that providing a false name to a police officer while being lawfully detained was illegal.

The man finally admitted that he was not “Steve Stevenson” and gave the officer his real name, which matched the name of the suspect.

Based on the multiple reports of the man’s suspicious activity around cars and his initial refusal to provide his real identity, the officer issued him a six month exclusionary order from campus and all other UA-owned property.

gone in a puff of smoke

NICHOLAS TRUJILLO | THE DAILY WILDCAT

It is not a great showcase of street-smarts to get into a street race with a cop on a Tuesday night.

A UAPD officer was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Campbell Avenue and Broadway Boulevard when a silver Sedan pulled up next to his car at around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 6.

When the light turned green, the car quickly drove away down Campbell Avenue and the officer increased his speed to match the sedan’s speed.

After driving past 13th Street, the officer noticed that he was going 63 mph. He switched on the car’s emergency light to indicate to the driver that he intended to pull him over for a traffic stop.

When the driver pulled his car over near 15th Street, the passenger jumped out and took off running up the street. The officer alerted dispatch to the runaway passenger and gave a description of the man.

He ordered the driver out of the car.

Once out, the officer frisked him and handcuffed him. He also questioned the driver about the passengers, but the driver said he did not really know the man, but that they had been hanging around several of the driver’s friends and that the driver was supposed to drop him off.

While standing near the car, the officer smelled the scent of recently smoked marijuana. Upon questioning, the driver admitted that there was a small amount of marijuana in the car, which the driver found, along with a lighter, a marijuana shake and a black and red bong with residue on it.

The officer also found a cell phone on the ground near where the passenger had bolted from the car. He collected it as evidence.

Another officer took the driver to the Pima County Jail where he was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, speeding and driving on a suspended license.

UAPD officers searched the area for the escaped passenger. They discovered a loaded Smith & Wesson handgun in the area where the passenger was last seen running, but did not locate the man.

flag on the play Football may be a contact sport, but checking in football players for practice should not be.

UAPD officers met with the recruitment intern who reported the incident on Aug. 7.

She told the officers that the day before, Aug. 6, at around 6 p.m., she had been posted at the north door of the Cole and Jeannie Davis Sports Facility.

While checking football players in, a man she did not recognize walked up to her and said that he wanted to enter the facility. She told him that this was not allowed.

The man reached out and grabbed the intern’s left arm. The intern told officers that he squeezed her arm with enough force to worry her, though he was not expressly holding her in place.

She told him to “get your hands off” of her and he immediately let go. He then walked away, going south.

After he left, the intern told the football assistant director about the incident so that staff could know and modify the process for checking in players.

The intern gave the officers a description of the man but could not remember many distinguishing characteristics.

Officers searched the area around the facility and noticed a few cameras that could have caught images of the man. The intern told them that the assistant director said he would be “looking into” the footage from these cameras.

ARTS & LIFE | THINGS TO DO

UA campus activities for every student to explore

BY AMBER SOLAND @its_amber_rs

The University of Arizona is a city within a city. For incoming students, getting to know the campus is a full-time job let alone the greater Tucson area.

But students need not venture far from home to find intrigue and entertainment. Some of the most interesting places and activities are closer than you think.

Centennial Hall Centennial Hall houses the ongoing performing arts series. UA Presents, which offers more than 20 unique performances every year — from world performances and dance to classical and jazz.

This fall, students can get tickets to once-ina-lifetime shows like the four-time Tony Award winning musical “Hello Dolly,” the Broadway musical “Anastasia,” and an interview with NPR contributor and best-selling humor author David Sedaris.

Gallagher Theater The Gallagher Theater partners with Cats After Dark and the Residence Hall Association to welcome all students to the “most affordable movies in town.”

“We want Gallagher to be a service for our campus community and to students who need relief from their hectic class schedules,” said Loren Drake, manager of the Gallagher Theater and the Cellar Games Room.

Movies are free with CatCard, and the concessions stand will even throw in a free popcorn.

Cellar Games Room The Games Room is unlike any other arcade experience.

The Games Room is stocked with billiards, ping-pong, air hockey, foosball, darts and an extensive collection of board games. Video games of all genres can be played on the resident PS4, Wii U, X-Box One, Nintendo Switch and on the PC. “We are a community gaming space [and]

experience, which sets us apart from students using gaming systems in their house [or] dorm,” Drake said.

Museums and Laboratories The UA is home to world class collections of art, culture, history, poetry, science and more. Students can experience it all at the UA’s many museums, many of which have free or reduced admission with CatCard.

The Arizona State Museum is the oldest and most extensive museum of anthropological research in the Southwest U.S., with the largest collections of Southwest Native American pottery and basketry. As well as impressive photographic collections and a world-renowned conservation laboratory and preservation program.

The UA Museum of Art offers free admission to all students with CatCard who wish to see their diverse repository of over 5,000 paintings and sculptures throughout the ages.

Next door is the Museum of Creative Photography, a “one-of-a-kind” archive of a most contemporary facet of art history photography that often shows off portfolios by our own talented university students.

“It is the world’s most important photographic collection and it is right here on campus,” said Gina Compitello, senior marketing and public relations officer.

The Flandrau Science Center brings the universe’s most unexplored territories to life with exhibits on sharks, the existence of life on Earth and the intricacies of the Solar System.

For a reduced $12 with CatCard, students have access to all exhibits, the Gem and Mineral Museum and one show at the Planetarium.

All are invited to see how medical science has grown and evolved at the History of Pharmacy Museum.

According to museum curator Stephen Hall, the History of Pharmacy Museum has the world’s largest collection of pharmacy related artifacts. Their “crown jewel” — the Upjohn Pharmacy Collection — is a unique antique pharmacy collection from Disneyland.

“It is a branch of history that most people have never seen before,” Hall said.

SIMON ASHER | THE DAILY WILDCAT

STUDENTS WALK UP AND down the tent-adorned UA Mall during the first week of school in 2018.

The UA also has an incredible athletic history, all of which can be seen at the Jim Click Hall of Champions, which displays “more than 100 years of heritage and traditions,” showcasing rotating Olympic exhibits and celebrations of outstanding Arizona athletic performance.

The UA is unparalleled in the creation and development of powerful mirrors for optical telescopes around the world. These mirrors are works of art in and of themselves.

Students can tour the laboratory at the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab for only $10 with CatCard. The James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences also opens its doors to students wishing to learn the extensive history of telescopes and cameras at the Museum of Optics.

The UA deals with trees both dead and alive at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research and the UA Arboretum.

The Tree-Ring Lab offers free docent-led tours to anyone interested in how trees reveal natural history, where they can learn the basics of dendrochronology.

The Arboretum is a museum of natural

science that makes its home across the entire university campus. From the olive trees and orange groves to the desert oases on the UA Mall, the whole university is a garden that anyone is welcome to take pleasure in.

Poetry Center The Poetry Center is a renowned archive of poetry and prose that seeks to integrate poetry and literature with the greater Tucson community. “[Our mission] is to advance a diverse and robust literary culture that serves a local-toglobal spectrum of writers, readers and new audiences for poetry and the literary arts,” said Sarah Gzemski, publicity and publications specialist for the Poetry Center.

The center has frequent free events and activities like poetry readings, book launchings and extended exhibits for the public to enjoy.

Their upcoming fall exhibit “Come to the Table” opens during the first weekend of classes and will feature poetry and free food that is representative of the exhibit.

According to Gzemski, “It’s a great Saturday afternoon adventure on campus.”

Uniting the globe through children’s literature The University of Arizona is home to the world’s largest collection of children’s books, housed on the fourth floor of the College of Education building known commonly as the World of Words

BY MIKAYLA KABER @KaberMikayla

There are a lot of hidden gems at the University of Arizona, but what most people don’t know is that the fourth floor of the College of Education building houses the United States’ largest collection of children’s literature, estimated at about 40,000 books, known formally as Worlds of Words.

Katherine Short is the director of WOW, as well as a professor focusing on global children’s and adolescent literature here at the UA. She is an avid booklover and started this program because of her innate desire to show children here in the U.S. about what it means to be a global citizen.

“Because a lot of the work I was doing internationally with schools around the world, something that I became very aware of was how much children in other countries were aware of the world than we are here in the U.S.,” Short said.

The WOW collection includes books from all different countries and continents. There are sections for LGBTQ+, instate Arizona literature and even the honors books from the International Board on Books for Young People’s Honour List from the past two years.

The WOW collection is more than just books, though; it’s a culturally significant and one-of-a-kind space. Right at the entrance is a a donor wall of characters and animals by illustrator and professor David Christiano.

His work is displayed throughout the collection. All of the books have covers and art, and Rebecca Ballenger, associate director of WOW, spoke to how important art is to the collection and each of the stories.

Also featured at WOW is the Mary J. Wong Collection.

Wong was a librarian in Phoenix who wrote many grants in order for illustrators and authors to visit not only her school, but others around the area. Most of the artwork featured in WOW was donated by Mary J. Wong.

The books featured from Wong’s collection include first additions, signed books and artwork that she acquired through these author and illustrator visits. One of the featured art pieces is Molly Idle’s “Flora and the Penguin” book and colored pencil illustrations. Idle is a former Dreamworks illustrator.

“The space is just always open, that’s important to us, the nine to five,” Short said. “It is a way to visibly welcome people into the College of Education, but in a space that is visually appealing. It means something, it’s not just pretty. It is a space that has an important educational mission.”

Although the space is kid-friendly, with events hosted specifically for children, the main purpose of the collection is research. Some of the books are not for young people to read because they are unable at their age to discern whether or not books are culturally authentic.

“You have to be a certain kind of discerning reader to know, ‘Is what I am seeing authentic to the culture and it is written by somebody who is part of that culture, or is it inauthentic and perpetuating stereotypes?’” Ballenger said.

According to Short, WOW has books that perpetuate stereotypes, and they are an integral part of the collection, because anyone can examine how these books differ from the culturally authentic stories and see why perpetuating stereotypes can be dangerous.

FROM PAGE 6

WOW is mainly used for research purposes, but they host about 150 events a year, which is about two a week. This includes classes, fiestas, the WOW Teen Ambassador Program, school field trips, book exhibits, author visits and much more.

The WOW mission statement, according to their website, is: “Worlds of Words is committed to creating an international network of people who share the vision of bringing books and children together, thereby opening windows on the world.

We encourage thoughtful dialogue around global literature so that children can reflect on their own cultural experiences and connect to the experiences of children across the globe.”

The current exhibit in the collection is “Visual Narratives: Connecting Across Languages and Cultures,” which is based on a traveling exhibit from Italy, inspired by language barriers from refugees. Although some places around the world refer to these books as “wordless” or “silent,” WOW emphasizes the term “visual narrative” to refer to the books as what they are instead of what they are lacking.

WOW also has its Teen Ambassador Program, a high school program that invites readers from all over the Tucson community to explore young adult literature as well as build college connections and experiences they may not have had otherwise. The program for this school year just began on Saturday, Aug. 17.

“I really enjoy the idea of reaching out to my community and talking to them about books and things I like,” said George Ballenger, a returning WOW Teen Ambassador.

George Ballenger mentioned how the teens are in charge of getting more books out into the community as well as learning

more about literature that relates to students in high school.

“We are working really hard to be both an integral part of the university, the Tucson community, as well as reach out globally,” Short said.

WOW contributes to increasing the understanding of cultural diversity and adheres to their mission statement through the application of what are called Language and Culture Kits.

The kits include books from a specific culture as well as interactive activities, artifacts, lesson plans and resource notebooks for how to teach children about the specific cultures with sensitivity. This enables children to build connections between themselves and other cultures around the world instead of alienating them.

“It can be a little dangerous to talk about global children’s literature if you’re focused on surface culture,” Ballenger said.

“Surface culture includes the things that we learn first about other groups, like the flags, famous people, the fashion, the fiesta and the food. So if you give a kid who is not Korean, who has never had kimchi before, they are going to say it is unusual, it’s different. You have the potential to otherize them. But if you give a Korean child some of the things Americans eat, they would have a similar reaction.”

According to Gudrun Godare, WOW volunteer, the kits range from South American to Asian, European, African and many more cultures from around the globe.

Teachers from schools around the Tucson community request the kits and WOW volunteers deliver them to schools free of charge.

“I walked in here and literally started to cry. This collection is an amazing collection of global literature,” said Cynthia Ryman, a librarian who is pursuing her Ph.D. in education and working with the Teen Ambassador Program. “To me, it just epitomizes what I want to be about.

It’s expanding people’s understanding of themselves through understanding others.”

NEWS | PRESIDENTIAL PANEL

UA joins coalition researching climate change policy

BY CLAUDE AKINS @claude_akins

University of Arizona President Dr. Robert C. Robbins attended the University Climate Change Coalition, or UC3, last month at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, to participate on a panel of university presidents. UC3 announced their Research for Policy Platform, a project seeking to promote and accelerate research on climate change policy.

UC3 is a broad organization that brings together a variety of stakeholders, from university administrators to academics to private business, with the goal of combating climate change. The new policy platform “equips UC3 as a collective to research urgent climate change policy issues and provide recommendations for just and equitable outcomes,” according to a UANews press release.

Director of the UA Office of Sustainability and the operations liaison to UC3 Trevor Ledbetter said the policy platform will help the university “focus in a more comprehensive and collective manner.”

According to Ledbetter, the platform will look to determine what areas in climate change policy should be researched and then give recommendations to university presidents based on that research.

“Let’s say we have a question on carbon pricing and how that may or may not be a solution to a given problem,” Ledbetter said. “[University presidents] want to know more. They want some recommendations on what can be done in that space so they can then use the principles and things that have been passed within the platform to direct their individual institutions and the researchers that comprise the entire coalition, so researchers across different institutions look more deeply into a given question like carbon pricing or other things.”

The platform was just launched, so they do not yet have an idea of what policies will be recommended to Robbins, let alone which policies he might advocate.

Ledbetter said more specific policies should appear in spring 2020 but he would not be surprised if carbon pricing was on the list. Carbon pricing is when a tax or another cost is levied against polluters. It is sometimes called a carbon tax or carbon

emissions trading.

“Nothing has been defined yet internally before the launch of the platform,” Ledbetter said. “Carbon pricing is something that you see. There are ways of drilling down into a little bit more on the research side of things. So before the launch of the platform, quite a few different research liaisons from different institutions will be getting together and having conversations and trying to create a brief about carbon pricing and how universities can not only implement it internally, but also try to advocate for broader carbon pricing where it makes sense and where it’s appropriate to do so.”

UA also has a unique capacity within the platform, given its location in the arid desert and its esteemed water resources research, which ranked first in the world, according to Ledbetter.

“We’re number one in the world for water resources research,” Ledbetter said. “We have a variety of other amazing designations, so we bring a really strong research enterprise to the table that we can certainly capitalize upon.”

The platform is in the early stages of its development, Ledbetter said, and it may

be a year or longer before any policy is advocated for, let alone implemented.

In the meantime, global warming is expected to increase. A scientific U.N. panel on climate change that convened last year said that as temperatures rise, we may start seeing serious climate crises as early as 2040.

Though the size of the coalition may seem unwieldy, and the addition of business interests may strike some as antithetical to effective climate change policy, Ledbetter said he believes the strength of UC3 lies in its many stakeholders.

“We could certainly try to go at this ourselves,” Ledbetter said, “but, in my opinion, we’ve been doing this for the last hundred years, and while some good things do come out of it, I think there’s a lot more gains on all sides when we can come to the table and work together.”

In the meantime, expect a workshop in October that will bring together community members such as elected officials or their representatives to identify what the community needs and how the university might assist.

NEWS | CLASSES FOR TUCSON

Tucsonans can pay a small fee for UA curriculum

BY NICHOLAS TRUJILLO @fantastic_nick

There’s one thing that ties gun debates, Brexit and Mexican idols together and it’s the Community Classroom.

Community Classroom was rolled out for community members of Tucson in fall of 2018. The program is an initiative to target potential learners that are not full-time or part-time students.

“In its first year, 14 courses/workshops enabled 19 Social and Behavioral Sciences faculty to engage with over 600 community members,” said Kerstin Miller, manager of projects and events at the University of Arizona.

The program builds off different instructors’ specialties to give the Tucson community “diverse topics that speak to a variety of adult learners,” according to Miller.

The program’s first workshop from last year, according to its website, was called “Celluloid Desert: Tucson in Cinema History,” which took a look at Tucson’s place in the history of filmmaking.

The class met at The Loft Cinema and lasted two hours with discussions and group activities.

This year, the program will hold classes like a study of Brexit and why it happened, or looking at Mexican idols and demons.

The class titled Mexican Superheroes, Demons, and Idols, focuses on exactly what the title implies.

“In many places around the world, these cultural icons usually embody popular notions of justice, patriotism,

solidarity, and protection,” Luis Guel Coronado said in an email. “In Mexico, fantastic heroes are not new as they have represented people’s aspirations, fears, and hopes in different times and historical contexts.

The classes differ in price, but none reaching the $733 per credit rate at the UA. The cheapest class for the community is priced at $55. According to the website, this course, “Savoring Story: A Food and Story Making Workshop,” is led by Melani “Mele” Martinez, a lecturer for first year writing courses at the UA. The most expensive class, and also one of the more high profile classes, is the one taught by Noam Chomsky, Thomas Bever and Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini, titled “Language, Mind, and Brain.” The class will hold 100 registered members.

Community members can pay $250 to register for the class. While the other classes may not be focused entirely on students, this class is an exception, as it pits community members and students side by side. “[Community Classroom] allows community members to attend classes and rub elbows with UA students,” Miller said. “Both groups of learners value the exchange of ideas among the different generations.”

Community members may also take part in one class without paying, according to the program’s website, but they have to email communitymatters@email.arizona.edu or contact Kerstin Miller at least one day prior to the event.

For more information, or to suggest an idea for a course, contact the program by filling out a short form at communityclassroom.arizona.edu/contact.

NEWS | SWIPE PLAN

UA introduces first mandatory meal plan for incoming Honors Village residents

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

This August, over 1,000 University of Arizona students moved into the newly completed Honors Village — all were required to buy a newly designed swipe-based meal plan.

The plan has faced criticism in the past from members of UA’s student government, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, who worried about its costeffectiveness and impact on accessibility at the already expensive Village.

Meal swipes offer reliability, have constraints “Swipe-based meal programs are common,” said Terry Hunt, dean of the Honors College. “They give students flexibility as to when and how they use funds for meals.”

Village residents will be automatically enrolled in one of two swipe-based meal plans depending on their dorm layouts at the cost of $1,820 or $5,280. Students can upgrade or downgrade their meal plan based on their dorm style.

“The cost of the meal plan options were calculated based off a $10 cost per swipe,” said Jonathan Millay, senior director of the Arizona Student Unions.

According to Millay, Village residents will be able to use their swipes at any of the Student Union’s existing restaurants as well as the Village’s new cafeteria-style dining spaces, which will offer healthy and food-allergy friendly options.

Every meal plan will also come with CatCash, which can be used to pay for meals or other services at certain off-andon campus locations in lieu of using a swipe.

Some swipe-based meal plans are only available to honors students; however, three other swipe-based meal plans of similar prices are available to all UA students.

“One of our highest priorities is that access to the Honors Village and Honors College is possible for all, regardless of financial need,” Hunt said. “A swipe is a little cheaper per meal than what you would pay out of pocket. It also creates reliability for students.”

For students in single or double-bed dorm rooms, the Ocotillo plan will provide 15 meal swipes a week and $400 in CatCash at the cost of $5,280. These 15 swipes will not be rolled over but rather refreshed every week.

The Ocotillo plan can be upgraded to the Saguraro meal plan with 18 weekly swipes, for a total price of $6,060 or downgraded to the to the eight weekly swipes of the Agave plan for a total price of $3,100.

For students in apartment-style suites, the Prickly Pear plan will provide five meal swipes a week and $200 in CatCash at the cost of $1,820. The Prickly Pear can be upgraded to any Honors Village dorm meal plan as well.

Public-private amenities The price tag for students living in the Village for two academic semesters will run anywhere from $11,950 to $18,610 depending on students’ choice of meal plan and dorm layout, some of the highest costs of living on campus.

While being the first dorm on campus to offer apartmentstyle suite living, the Village will also include cafeteria-style dining spaces, its own health and recreation facilities and faculty offices and classrooms for the Honors College.

“The Honors Village will have a large dining room open

to the public and buffet-style choices,” Hunt said. “Upstairs, there will be an honors-only dining facility for students to meet and work over meals.”

The Village is a private-public development partnership with American Campus Communities. In exchange for building and maintaining the Village, UA gives ACC the rent it collects from students, Millay said. ACC cannot independently set the price of Village rooms for students.

According to Millay, the Honors College and Student Union choose to implement a meal plan requirement in order to foster community among Village residents.

Hunt characterized the requirement as the best way for the Student Union to provide quality food at affordable costs for students in the new residence hall.

“The swipe-based meal plan requirement is a little like Obamacare: If we all participate, it is cheaper for everyone,” Hunt said. “This creates predictability for food services to best serve students.”

The requirement also traces back to the Student Union’s debt service payments on the Village, a stipulation of their use of the newly built dining space.

Village residents with extreme food allergies or required meal plans through Greek Life houses can request a meal plan requirement exemption through the Student Union according to Millay.

Despite its cost, every room at the Village has been reserved.

“The enthusiasm for the Honors Village caught us off

guard,” Hunt said.

The Village, which serves as a cornerstone of Hunt’s plan to transform the college, has also helped generate a dramatic increase in student interest in honors generally. Applications for the college increased 50% for the next academic year, according to Hunt.

Honors Village amenities come at a price “The meal plan requirement is a cost many students cannot afford, a cost that could hinder their honors experience,” said Sedona Lynch, former ASUA senator for the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health and a vocal critic of the plan during an April Senate briefing by the Student Union.

According to Lynch, students were not involved in the conversation to require Village residents purchase a meal plan. Millay confirmed this.

Lynch worries that the added cost of living in the Village will push honors students away from the complex and into other dorms, something that could fracture the honors community.

“My freshman year, I was in the Honors College but did not live in Árbol de la Vida [one of the two previous Honors dorms],” Lynch said. “My experience in the honors community was drastically different.”

According to David Scott Allen, a special adviser to Hunt, the Honors College has introduced new scholarships with

the goal of increasing access to the Village. “[The Honors College] raised funds to give scholarships for the Honors Village,” Allen said in an email. “Additionally, Dean Hunt gave $100,000 from his Dean’s Fund for Excellence to give [need-based] scholarships.”

Next semester, 26 freshmen will receive a $2,500 scholarship as part of the program.

Hunt also pushed back against an originally planned Starbucks swipe kiosk, whose cost was to be built into student meal plans.

“I said no, ‘that is too expensive,’” Hunt said. “We don’t want students to have to pay 10 dollars for a cup of coffee.”

Nevertheless, Lynch and others with experience in ASUA argue the swipe-based meal plan is not as cost-effective as it is being made out to be.

According to Millay, if students use all of their meal plan swipes, they will be netting a 20% discount on food.

UA implemented a swipe-based meal plan last academic year, advertised as a healthier alternative. Millay said that while the Student Unions’ swipe-based systems worked smoothly, many students did not use all of their swipes.

Millay attributed the lack of use to a need to better inform students about the plan’s design. The Student Union plans to do outreach in the Village to ensure students make the most of their plans.

“All cashiers and restaurant managers will be trained on the new [honors’] swipe-based plan. Meal plan teams will be available in the Village to help students,” Millay said.

Any meal plan money left unspent by honors students will be distributed evenly between the university’s general fund, student affairs services, Student Union facilities and future dining service investments. None will go to ACC or the

Honors College, according to Millay.

For some honors students the price tag is still too high and they have chosen not to live in the Village. According to Hunt, though, these students will still have access to the Village and its facilities.

The Village will serve as the epicenter for honors events and activities, providing all honors students the opportunity to connect with the community, according to Hunt.

Many from ASUA, like Lynch, worry the new Village will isolate the honors community from UA, a common criticism against other honors colleges.

“The Village is so far away from other dorms and buildings, it can keep students in one area and create a sense of elitism,” Lynch said.

Not limited to the Village, Millay believes the meal plan will not isolate students but allow them to branch out into campus.

After becoming dean, Hunt canceled plans to hire additional honors-specific faculty, opting instead to reach out to successful professors in colleges around campus to enhance the honors curriculum. “[The Honors College] will physically be on one corner of campus, but we are making sure our courses and curriculum are well-distributed across campus,” Hunt said.

Hunt wants to see an integrated, not isolated, honors program that serves students from all majors.

According to Hunt, as the Honors College and Village become more and more popular, the percentage of students accepted into the program will decrease.

While this increase in competition may boost national rankings, many in ASUA worry access to honors at the UA will suffer.

Hunt disagrees.

“We are really mindful of the problems using simplistic algorithms in our admissions process,” Hunt said. “We want to use a holistic means of evaluating student potential. This year’s class is one of our most diverse.”

BARISTA MEREDITH O’NEIL prepares a cold brew for a customer at Presta Coffee Roasters. The San Mercado Agustin location is bright and has an open layout.

Local coffee, tea and the ‘Peachy Boi’ Presta Coffee Roasters offers coffee from around the world, including places like Kenya and Guatelamala.

They also serve custom fusion teas like a lemon-peach tea with grenadine

BY DESIREE GUERRERO @des__guerrero

Presta Coffee Roasters has quickly become a Tucson staple with its rich coffee blends and colorful variety of drinks. The coffee shop serves Tucsonans from two locations: one on First Avenue and Grant Road, and the other in the Mercado San Agustin on Avenida del Convento.

Founded by Curtis Zimmerman, Presta has earned a name for itself with local coffee enthusiasts. Named “Best Coffee” by Food & Wine Magazine earlier this year, Presta offers a simple yet flavorful menu of drinks, proving quality over quantity is best.

Presta offers espresso classics like lattes, cappuccinos and macchiato mixes, while also serving a variety of teas, cold brews and fruit drink blends.

Tucson food blogger Adan Enriquez said the reason why he thinks Presta is so highly rated is because of the drink quality and taste.

“I can see why Presta was named ‘Best Coffee’,” Enriquez said.

“I’ve always said the coffee from here is one of the best I’ve tasted

in a very long time.’’

The “Peachy Boi,” a tea with mix of lemon and peach flavors and grenadine, is Enriquez’s favorite.

“The coffee is award-winning, obviously, but they also have other cold drinks that I don’t think get as much attention but are just as good,” Enriquez said. “If I’m not drinking coffee that day, I’ll grab a Peachy Boi because it’s so refreshing and has a different taste to it.”

The shop also sells its own custom blends in various flavors, available for customers who want to take some of Presta home.

One customer, Anne Russell, who frequents both shop locations regularly, has purchased bags of Presta’s custom blends before and recommended them.

“I’ve tried different types of roasts they have to take home and was pleased with how good they were,” Russell said. “I recommend the bags. If people want to be able to drink their [Presta] coffee at home as well, then they need to give them a try.”

Some roasts available for purchase include a Colombian blend, which has flavors of fig, dark berries and grapefruit, and its specialty Kenyan blend, which offers a more tart, citrus taste.

According to the Presta website, the Kenyan roast blend “is depulped using a three-disc depulping machine after being sorted and separated. The coffee is fermented overnight then washed using fresh water and spread on raised beds to dry for 7-15 days.”

Presta’s custom roasts are also available for sale online on their website, making their coffee available even for those who do not live in the area.

For those who are local, the Mercado San Agustin location has an open, bright layout, with a long coffee bar as the main seating area in a shared room with other businesses. Presta’s large windows bring in lots of natural light, adding to the clean, minimalistic layout. The ambiance is inviting and visually appealing, making it a comfortable, polished environment to study, read or work in while drinking a cup of coffee.

“Their coffee and drinks are what brings customers in, of course, but the actual place is really nice,” Russell said. “It has such a great vibe to it, really relaxed I think, and goes with the whole style of the San Mercado Agustin.”

NEWS | SAFTEY EXERCISE

UAPD preps for what to do in active shooter scenario

BY NICHOLAS TRUJILLO @fantastic_nick

Despite being in the national consciousness for decades now, the term “mass shooting” reached its peak during a six-day stretch in August, according to Google’s analytics of trending search terms, which began tracking this data in 2004.

The term has been steadily trending before August and has hit peaks during times of media coverage of major mass shootings in America.

As of August 20, 2019, there have been 265 mass shootings in the U.S., according to data from the Gun Violence Archive.

However, with help of the Critical Incident Response Team, the University of Arizona Police Department practiced what to do during such an event with it’s active shooter drill on Aug. 14.

“In a simulated environment such as this, we are able to test our current operating procedures and responses for these situations,” UAPD Police Chief Brian Seastone said. “This one event has helped us in multiple areas.”

The exercise took place near Old Main and lasted around seven hours.

According to Seastone, the exercise showcased the effectiveness of CIRT. The

team was able to respond well and use their prior knowledge and experience to get all the information they could.

“They made us think, ‘Should we cancel classes?’ or what classes were affected or ‘What resources we can get to our area fast?’”

Seastone said.

For Seastone and the UAPD team, the exercise showed what needed to be improved upon as well.

According to Seastone, the thing that can always be improved on the most no matter what is communication.

“We are always thinking, ‘How can we do better?’ or focusing on the little easy fixes,” he said. “Stuff like consistency and the way things are dispatched.”

In order to get the full picture, the scenario had to be as realistic as possible. Warnings were given through email that this would take place and that people with fake blood would be part of the exercise.

“The scenario will be performed as realistically as possible, including role players made up to look like injured victims, police officers running to the scene, and noise simulating gunfire,” according to an email from UAPD. The exercise took six months to plan and is

not necessarily a response to recent tragedies in America, according to Seastone. Other exercises for these scenarios include what Seastone calls “table-top” exercises that help with improvement upon specific areas within a plan of action.

This drill is not the only way UAPD prepares for worst-case scenarios. “There are a lot of exercises that the public won’t see, like our table-top exercises,” Seastone said.

While the UAPD team will be trained, Seastone also thinks that the public should practice ways of keeping themselves safe.

“As we put out in the [email], sign up for UAlert — it’s the most efficient,” he said.

“UAlerts is immediate and it’s the quickest way to get updated. I mean people won’t sit around their emails they will be on the move.”

According to the UAlert website, “UA Alert is a free service that delivers emergency alerts to registered UA students, faculty and staff — as well as their friends and family – via their cell phones, mobile devices and/or email accounts during a campus emergency.”

Another way that civilians can help protect themselves is downloading the LiveSafe app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

According to Seastone, the LiveSafe app is

great for people who are in a room but can’t communicate openly, they can simply text the police department for help through the app.

“These exercises are important to our campus’ safety mission,” Seastone said. “They are realistic simulations that are critical to our preparedness.”

SPORTS | SUMMER REVIEW

Looking back at Arizona’s summer in sports

BY AMIT SYAL @ASyal21

Some students at the University of Arizona were able to take a respite from the rigor and challenges of college life, but not studentathletes. For example, Arizona softball, baseball, track and field and women’s golf all had major events after the end of the semester in May. Softball At the end of the school year, Arizona softball continued its run to the Women’s College World Series. The team hosted the NCAA Regions where they defeated Harvard 5-1, and then beat Auburn twice, 2-1 the first day and 12-3 the second day, to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals where they continued their run and defeated Ole Miss twice. They overcame Ole Miss the first day with a 5-2 score and a 9-1 score the second.

With the streak continued, the Wildcats went to Oklahoma for the Women’s College World Series where the Wildcats defeated No. 2 Washington. The team was sent home after losses to both No. 3 UCLA and No. 5 Alabama.

Baseball After the end of the school year in May, Arizona baseball continued its run with the hopes of continuing their season into June.

On the weekend of May 10, Arizona took on USC at home and defeated the Trojans in a 2-0 series sweep. That Monday, the Wildcats took on Sam Houston State at home and swept them in two games as well, with the second game ending in the 7th inning after a 16-2 score.

The following weekend, the Wildcats traveled to State College, Pa. and took on Penn State where the Wildcats were able to sweep them 3-0.

To end the regular season, and 2019 season, Arizona baseball traveled to Pullman, Wash. where the team swept the Washington State Cougars 3-0 to end the 2019 season after falling short to make the post-season for the second straight season.

Track and field Track and field continued to dominate following the end of the last school year.

Starting with the Pac-12 championships, Jordan Geist claimed his second Pac-12 shot

put title. In addition, James Smith set an Arizona school record in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 49.93s.

In the NCAA West Preliminaries, the women’s 4x400-meter relay team consisting of Tatum Waggoner, Karolina Pahlitzsch, Shannon Meisberger and Diana Gajda clocked a time of 3:30.67 and set an Arizona school record, as well as qualified for the National Championships later that month in Austin, Texas. In addition, Geist had a shot put mark of 20.42m in the NCAA West Preliminaries to earn a spot in the NCAA Championships.

At the NCAA Championships, rising senior Karla Teran earned First Team All-American and cleared 1.81m in the high jump to finish fifth overall. In addition, Smith earned a fifthplace finish in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 49.72 and earned a spot as a First-Team All-American.

Women’s golf Women’s golf traveled to Fayetteville, Ark. for the NCAA Championships where the team had finishes ranging from T-3, fourth and sixth before defeating No. 3 USC and ultimately falling to No. 2 Duke.

OPINION | EXPERIENCE

Internships are an investment in your future

BY JESSE TELLEZ @jtell27

W

ith classes and jobs taking up the majority of our time as college students, squeezing in an internship or two can seem stressful, but it’s worth the extra effort.

Internships and apprenticeships offer a look into a career field that most classes can’t. They require you to get out of the classroom and put everything you have learned to use while learning new skills and the ins and outs of the job.

I recently finished a summer apprenticeship at the Arizona Daily Star and after two months of having hands-on experience in a professional environment, I feel more confident in joining the workforce once the final chapter of my college career comes to an end. Although my apprenticeship was unpaid, I can now add it to my resume and show future employers that I have the past experience they look for when hiring fresh-out-of-college workers.

If you are like me, finances are a big part of choosing when and how to do an internship. Summer internships come in handy because you have more time to fit a part time job into your schedule. Sure, you may have to sacrifice a summer vacation or two, but the work you put in now helps you later on.

Some internships also provide an opportunity to earn class credit, whether they are done during a regular semester or during the summer. However, this means students have to pay for them in the same way they do for other credit-bearing courses.

There are plenty of internships that students do not have to pay for, but the trade-off is that these will not earn you credits, so keep that in mind when applying for them.

Speaking of applying, it’s important to apply for multiple internships even if you don’t absolutely love all of them. Chances

are that a handful of other students will be competing for the same spot, so having a backup plan helps prevent you from being left with no internship at all.

And remember: From the moment you go in for the internship interview until you leave on the final day of it, professionalism is key. Follow the dress code of the workplace, come prepared to work and make sure you have a clear sense of what is expected of you.

Making a good first impression with everyone you meet along the way is essential to building professional relationships and showing everyone that you take your work seriously.

Going into an internship can be intimidating when you are surrounded by seasoned professionals, but keep in mind that they want to see you succeed and most likely have been in your position before.

During my time as an apprentice, I realized that not being afraid to ask questions made the experience more valuable.

Internships are the perfect place to be curious and learn from the people who have made names for themselves in the career you plan to go into.

College is the time to really invest in your future, and it goes by quicker than you think, so don’t put off internships until the last minute. Take it from me, they are worth it.

COURTESY | LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Tucson PD tips on how to be a good neighbor It is the start of a new school year, which will be celebrated with music and parties. The Tucson Police Department wants everyone to have fun but wants to encourage safety and remind everyone to be good neighbors.

Acknowledge your responsibility for gatherings you host. Inform your neighbors in advance of the party and communicate mutual concerns and potential resolutions.

Consider sharing your phone number with your neighbors so they may call you first.

Letting your neighbors know you are having a party doesn’t mean you can allow it to become unruly — you can still be cited if a member of the public calls the police.

They can give their name or be a refused complainant. Don’t wait until the second complaint from your neighbor to address their concerns. Turn the music down or start winding things down by picking up trash and asking people to leave if needed. If a gathering gets out of control, you as the host can call the police for our help.

Keep guest lists to a minimum, especially if

you have a small place and you know people will end up outside causing it to be loud.

Remember you are responsible for all guests, even the ones who are uninvited. Be careful with social media invitations as everyone will share it with someone else, and before you know it, hundreds of people will be at your home. Don’t serve alcohol to minors as you can be arrested.

The Red Tag Unit is available to answer questions from management, landlords, community members and students such as: What is an Unruly Gathering? What happens if someone receives a citation? What if a residence has a notice posted, and what happens next?

The Red Tag Unit may be reached at (520) 837-7318 or redtag@tucsonaz.gov for questions, meet and greets and/or presentations.

NEWS | SSSNAKE SSSAFTEY

Ssstay sssafe around rattlesnakesss

BY SAM BURDETTE @SuperSafetySam

Blazing heat and the monsoon storms aren’t the only desert hazards to watch out for this summer. Rattlesnake activity increases with warm weather, and it’s important to be aware of how to react when confronted with this venomous critter.

The Daily Wildcat has put together a guide for staying safe when it comes to rattlesnakes, including how to spot them, steps to take when near one and what to do if someone gets bit.

Identifying a rattlesnake Although the quick, rattling sound of a threatened rattlesnake is a good indication of danger, there are a few other ways to tell a rattlesnake apart from non-venomous snakes in Arizona.

According to Marc Hammond, a founder of Animal Experts, Inc., which was the first wildlife control company in Southern Arizona, the shape of a snake’s tail is one of the best indications as to whether a snake in the area is venomous.

“If you’re able to see the tail, if the tail tapers to a point like a pencil, it’s going to be non-venomous,” Hammond said.

The rattle itself, or lack thereof, is not a sure indication of whether a snake is a rattlesnake, as rattlesnakes may lose their rattle at some point in their lives, said John Zadrozny, a docent at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Even if a rattlesnake’s rattle has fallen off, the tail will still have a rounded end.

The exception to this pointed versus rounded tail rule is the Sonoran Coralsnake, a venomous snake without a rattle, but according to co-founder of Animal Experts, Inc., Jeff Carver, they are uncommon and being bit by one is even rarer.

“We have a coral snake, a Sonoran Coral, but it’s so small I’ve literally picked them up in my hand and they’ll strike at you and they can’t open their mouth big enough,” Carver said. “They would actually have to bite you and hold on to be able to inject you.”

If a snake is coiled, the tail may not be visible. In that situation, the size and shape of a rattlesnake’s head can help distinguish it from other snakes, Zadrozny said; if the snake’s head is bigger than the neck in the shape of “a big ice cream spoon,” then it is likely a rattlesnake.

The most common rattlesnake seen in the Tucson area is the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Zadrozny said.

The Western Diamondback’s distinguishing features are the “dark diamond-shaped patterns along [its] back” and the few “black and white bands just above the rattles,” according to the Desert Museum’s website.

Other rattlesnakes native to the area include the Mohave Rattlesnake, Tiger Rattlesnake, Black-tail Rattlesnake and the Sidewinder. For more information on local rattlesnakes, visit the Desert Museum’s website.

Reacting to a rattlesnake According to an informational paper on rattlesnake safety that is available at the Desert Museum, about one third of all snakebites occur from someone intentionally confronting or bothering the snake. In fact, Carver stated most bites occur on males from ages 16-25 and on their hands.

“So, that tells you they’re messing with them, they’re trying to pick them up,” Hammond said. “Especially if there’s alcohol involved, they’re going to say, ‘Hey, hold my beer, watch this.’”

If one does find themselves near a rattlesnake unintentionally, leaving the encounter unharmed isn’t difficult. Carver said when near a rattlesnake, the first thing one should do is freeze.

“Rattlesnakes are motivated by movement,” Carver said. “They basically will not strike something that is not moving.”

Getting out of striking range is as simple as stepping away from a rattlesnake, Carver said.

“One good step is going to put you out of their range,” Carver said. “They don’t fly. They don’t leap through the air to get you. They

basically don’t want to bite you.”

Zadrozny also advised one simply take a step away from the rattlesnake. Although leaving a rattlesnake’s striking range can be achieved with a slow step back, both Carver and Hammond said one should not run from a rattlesnake.

“The average speed for a rattlesnake is about three miles per hour,” Carver said. “So you can literally outwalk a rattlesnake.”

A rattlesnake’s strike, however, is a different story. It can reach speeds of 175 miles per hour, according to Zadrozny.

“You could never outrun [a rattlesnake’s] strike,” Hammond said. “Their strike is lightning fast. So when you try to run away from them … they could strike you right away.”

What to do if someone is bitten by a rattlesnake A rattlesnake’s bite is not on the same level as a bee sting or spider bite by any means.

“What people don’t realize is it’s excruciating,” Carver said.

At safety seminars Hammond and Carver hold around Tucson, they describe what most people feel when they are bitten by a rattlesnake.

“We usually tell people what it normally feels like is like your hand on a hot skillet,” Hammond said. “You keep it there for a while until you’ve got a really bad burn … and then

you get the pounding pain – it’s almost like … after you burn your hand, then … slam it down with a sledgehammer.”

Along with the pain may come extreme swelling. Hammond, who has been bitten by a rattlesnake twice before, said he hadn’t experienced the pain likely 90 percent of people do.

Hammond, who was bit near his thumb, “swelled up all the way into his armpit before they could get that under control,” according to Carver.

Beyond the pain itself, snakebite treatment is extremely expensive, even if a long hospital stay isn’t necessary. Hammond said his last medical bill for a snakebite came to $313,000 even though he only spent a little over one day in the hospital.

The intense pain also would prevent someone from driving to the hospital on their own.

“With that type of pain, do you think you could drive yourself to a hospital?” Hammond said. “You would never be able to keep your eyes on the road.”

If someone does happen to be bit by a rattlesnake, “the first thing you should do is quickly just call 911,” Hammond said.

After calling for emergency medical help, the most important thing to do is remain calm, according to Hammond.

“If you’re not calm, that venom is going to

travel even quicker,” Hammond said.

Hammond also advised against taking measures against the venom oneself, such as applying a tourniquet or trying to suck the venom out with one’s mouth.

“You can do more damage with your mouth or trying to use one of those snake extractors where you’re only going to get maybe 1 or 2 percent of venom out, if anything,” Hammond said.

Hammond instead said one should lay down and remove any watches or jewelry around the area of the bite because of the swelling and wait for the ambulance to arrive.

Rattlesnakes on Campus Running into a rattlesnake is not a danger solely to those out in the desert, miles from the city. In fact, rattlesnakes have even been spotted on the University of Arizona campus.

“Marc [Hammond] actually picked up a rattlesnake on the [UA] campus last month,” Carver said.

Anywhere in Tucson, there’s a risk of running into a rattlesnake, so keep watch for these venomous animals.

OPINION | FIRST WEEK FAIL SAFE

Topic How to get through of the Week the first week of school Get a Job

BY NICHOLAS TRUJILLO @fantastic_nick

Schedule Time with Friends

D

uring your first week of school, you may want to focus on getting the right notes or going greek, but money really is the top priority.

A job is the first thing that comes to mind, but for many places, your job search should start the weeks before school starts. See who’s hiring, because their busy season is while everyone is in school. Campus locals like restaurants around Fourth Avenue and Main Gate Square, especially since they’re perfect places to find your college job.

Granted, we can’t use that job to pay for our tuition like some of the baby boomers did, but you’ll at least have money every week for a bill or two.

Your job doesn’t even have to be a formal one. Sell your trade skills to people in need.

When prom rolls around for the high school kids, or when everyone starts to have their quinceañeras, advertise that you take pictures.

Take advantage of local nerd groups that play Dungeons & Dragons and take commissions to draw their character. If someone could draw me a human wizard that looks old in the face but is very nimble with a blue staff and a darker blue cloak, that would be great.

You could even be like my mom and sew all day and create bibs and baby clothes while pressuring her sons to have babies. You can also make simple dresses to sell on Etsy or even at a local market.

During your first week of school, plan how to get some extra cash, because no matter what way you flip the sandwich, the bread comes first.

o you’re in college. This is a big deal. Classes are very important, as is getting enough sleep, saving money, eating healthy, studying, making friends, etc. etc. etc. But if I could go back in time and give my very stupid 18-year-old-self any advice, it would be to make sure to focus some of my attention away from the academy.

Develop a skill on your own; meet people who aren’t other students. The world doesn’t end when you cross that threshold out of campus, and it will be (mostly) the same world that is waiting for you when you graduate. Try to get to know it a little bit.

t this point, I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about the importance of having a routine in college.

People will say you should go to bed at the same time every night, create a chore schedule or have a concrete order for completing your homework, and although these are all valid strategies to maintain a daily rhythm, one tends to forget an important area of life that needs — deserves, more accurately — scheduling: time with friends.

I learned quickly that spending time with friends was just as important as going to the gym or studying for an exam, and simply saying “we’ll get together soon” wouldn’t cut it. Having that set time every week — Wednesday from 1-3 p.m. — for lunch with one of my best friends was a lifesaver amidst the craziness of a 19-credit-hour schedule, and it became just as important a part of my schedule as my classes.

This certainly isn’t to say you should only hang out with friends if you have that time scheduled, but that you should put a minimum interaction time into your schedule — for your sanity’s sake.

Set goals for yourself

Figure Out Your Schedule

BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves

ello fellow overachievers (if you are reading this, yes, you fall into the overachiever club since you are reading the campus newspaper, I see you and I love you). If you are anything like me, you are already stressed — and it’s only the first day.

But it doesn’t have to be this week, at least not for the first week, there will be time for that later on. For this first week, the most important thing is to get the hang of your new schedule. Here’s a pro-tip: Make your class schedule your phone wallpaper for the first week. That way you’ll never forget where you have to go.

If you have time, visit the rooms of your new classes before the semester starts, so they are easier to find on your first day.

Above all, anything you can do to make your soon-to-be hectic life easier, do it.

BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @nessamagnifique

hether you are new to campus or a returning veteran, you know that the first week of classes can be a lot of stress, walking and/or confusion. Unless you are super lucky, you will find issues with the first week. Even if you’re confident, you will most likely get stuck behind a crowd of confused students trying to get to your class.

As someone who has grown up on/around this campus and has experience with time management and making it through two first weeks of campus so far, I offer three tips on how to get through this rushed week.

First, have a jammin’ playlist ready as you hurdle your way from class to class. Make sure you include feel-good songs and ones that will get you warmed up for sitting in a long lecture or walking across campus in five minutes.

Second, have confidence in yourself! Anything is possible if you are open to it and that includes making it to class on time. If you say you can’t make it on time, you have already lost, but if you have faith you got this!

My third and final tip to get through this first week, which is normally filled with going over the class syllabus, is to set yourself short-term and long-term goals. Small and big things that you can achieve this semester are important to keep you on track and allow you to be the best self you can be.

At any time during the first week or the semester, you may feel overwhelmed, but at the end of the day, the sun will always set and you have to remember that you got this! You made it this far and that says a lot!

Bear down and have fun!
