Fall brings new films The Daily Wildcat
The Loft Cinema and other, more mainstream theaters in the Tucson area will soon feature a range of films for family and friends to view at their leisure. This fall, there are some promising releases, including comedic-relief, a horror movie, films with actionpacked scenes and a heartwarming animated tale. THE LOFT CINEMA “Tangerine” — Now Showing “Tangerine” takes place on Christmas Eve and tells the story of a transgender sex worker named Sin-Dee Rella, aka “Sin-Dee,” who roams the streets with her best friend, Alexandra, after Sin-Dee’s release from 28 days in prison. Sin-Dee hears a rumor that, during her prison sentence, her pimp boyfriend, Chester, was having multiple rendezvous with a cisgender woman by the name of Dinah. As SinDee struts fiercely down the streets of Los Angeles in her high heels looking for Chester and Dinah, an Armenian family gets involved in the mix of business and pleasure. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015, this refreshing comedy/drama is filled with flare, raw emotions and scandal that will leave the audience delighted. “The Prophet” — Sept. 11 “The Lion King” director Roger Allers illuminates Kahlil

Gibran’s book of 26 prose-poetry essays, “The Prophet.” This story takes viewers on a journey featuring an inquisitive, free-spirited young girl by the name of Almitra (Quvenzhané Wallis), who occasionally finds herself in sticky situations. Her mother, Kamila (Salma Hayek), works as a housekeeper for an artist and poet named Mustafa (Liam Neeson). He is taken by the government and punished; his only crime is his love for words. “The Prophet” perfectly caters to younger audiences and their families. This brilliant piece of work premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival and intertwines freedom and the power of poetry into one charming animated film.

Variety of musical theater comes to campus BY ARIELLA NOTH
The Daily Wildcat
Every year, both the UA and Broadway in Tucson bring a variety of shows to campus to entertain the masses. The Arizona Repertory Theatre features student and professional actors, whereas Broadway in Tucson brings national tours to the Tucson community. The season for ART starts off with Neil Simon’s 1963 show “Barefoot in the Park.” This romantic comedy focuses on the life of a newly married couple, Corie and Paul Bratter, and whether their marriage will survive the differences between them. These differences arise from the fact that Paul is a lawyer and Corie is a flower child. “Barefoot in the Park” runs from Sept. 20 to Oct. 11. “Cabaret” follows in the lineup shortly after “Barefoot in the Park,” open from Oct. 18 to Nov. 8. This play, winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, focuses on the romance between a British singer and an American journalist against the backdrop of Berlin as the Nazi Party gains control over the German government. The show is notable for the master of ceremonies, who is often regarded as bisexual or sexually ambiguous. This show has been featured in a film rendition starring Liza Minnelli and has been on the stage for almost 50 years.
Broadway in Tucson starts off its season with the family-friendly show “Annie.” This show stems from a 1920s comic strip titled “Little Orphan Annie.” It is better known to the masses through the two films it has spawned, one in 1982 and a more recent hiphop revival produced by Jay-Z. The show originally premiered on Broadway in 1977 and focuses on a young, redheaded orphan named Annie, who, despite her circumstances in Depression-era New York, holds out hope that her family will come for her one day. As the Christmas season approaches, an assistant to billionaire Oliver Warbucks, also colloquially known through the show as “Daddy” Warbucks, arrives at the orphanage that houses Annie in hopes of inviting a young orphan to his mansion for the holiday. This show features well-known songs such as “Tomorrow” and “It’s the Hard-Knock Life.” “Annie” runs from Sept. 29 to Oct. 4 at Centennial Hall. Tickets are currently on sale. The main attraction for the first half of Broadway in Tucson’s season is “The Phantom of the Opera.” The show has been running in theaters across the world for almost 30 years. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s show is based on the early 20th century French novel by Gaston Leroux. The story focuses on the young ingénue Christine Daaé, who is a

dancer at the Opera Populaire. Daaé quickly skyrockets as a soprano thanks to the tutelage of a mysterious “Angel of Music.” However, things at the Opera Populaire become violent as the new managers refuse to pay the Opera Ghost’s ransom on the opera house. That and the arrival of Raoul De Chagny, a childhood friend who falls in love with Christine, create a situation reminiscent
of the 1987 film “Fatal Attraction.” “The Phantom of the Opera” will be running from Oct. 21 to Nov. 1 at Centennial Hall.

A SIGN POINTS THE WAY to the Southern Arizona Transportation Museum on Thursday, Aug. 27.
The Southern Arizona Transportation Museum pays homage to the railroad. For those interested in Tucson’s history it’s a great place to see changes throughout the past 100 years BY Justice Amarillas The Daily Wildcat
Tucson is a city that is home to a plethora of great attractions found all over its map, many of which can only be discovered with a keen eye and word-ofmouth advertising. Tucsonans love to discover these hidden gems. For those who are new to Tucson and seeking to explore the sights of the city, or for those who have lived in Tucson and wish to visit more of these hidden gems, the Southern Arizona Transportation Museum is one to put on the list. The Southern Arizona Transportation Museum is a railroad museum that serves to showcase the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in Tucson on March 20, 1880. On March 20, 2005, the 125th anniversary of the arrival of the railroad, the Transportation
Museum opened with the helping hand of Mayor Bob Walkup. Located downtown on 414 N. Toole Ave., the museum is a restoration of the former Southern Pacific Railroad Depot’s records building. Southern Pacific locomotive No. 1673 is on display in the museum and the engine is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “The locomotive is 115 years old. It’s also featured in the movie ‘Oklahoma!,’ which was filmed here in Elgin, Arizona in 1955, the same year the engine retired from service and eventually made a residence in Himmel Park in 1962,” said museum board chairman Ken Karrels. “The locomotive was then moved to its current site in 2000 at what shortly became the museum.” Near engine 1673 is a statue of Wyatt Earp with a description

that recognizes his involvement in a revenge shooting that took place near the depot. The Transportation Museum hosts an annual Silver Spike Celebration that commemorates the arrival of the Railroad on March 20. Other events are held at the museum and at engine 1673, such as birthday parties, weddings and business meetings. Visiting without a group is free, but reserved tours cost $6 per person . Ask about student discounts. The museum’s Facebook page boasts many rave reviews from tourists. “If you love history, this is the place to be. Listen to the whistle and bell of the trains going by; be a part of tomorrow’s history today,” reads a review by Marty Robbins on the museum’s Facebook page. “I give a 5 Star Rating to the Southern Arizona Transportation Museum,” Robbins said. For UA students, directions to the museum from campus are provided on the museum’s website, tucsonhistoricdepot. org. “What makes the museum a hidden gem is that, though it’s compact in size, it tells the story of how Tucson has changed in terms of transportation over roughly 100 years,” Karrels said. “You see the street car that runs the streets now, and it’s remarkable.” The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday , 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday . On Saturdays, the engine of the locomotive is open for the public from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays.

Weekend sees new albums
Sub Pop Records
Beach House Depression Cherry “Did you see it coming, it happened so fast, / the timing was perfect, water on glass.” Beach House, or Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, have created their fifth album, Depression Cherry, to be released today. Although their sound evolves as they release more albums, Depression Cherry is expected to revert back to a more simplistic sort of sound, focusing less on drums and fills and more on melodies. Beach House will be debuting their new album on their upcoming world tour. Unfortunately, their tour isn’t coming through Tucson, but other tour dates can be found on Beach House’s website beachhousebaltimore.com, along with Depression Cherry CDs, vinyls and merchandise.

Destroyer Poison Season Destroyer, or Dan Bejar, is an indierock Canadian artist who never ceases to impress his listeners. His new album, Poison Season, will be no exception. Mixing folk vocals, rock beats and orchestral instruments, Bejar produces a sound that is energetic and expressive. Think along the lines of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros with an energy boost. Poison Season will be one of his best works of art yet, no doubt. Merge Records
Motörhead Bad Magic Heavy metal lovers: Look out. Motörhead is back at it again with their new album, Bad Magic. Previous Motörhead listeners already generally know what to expect: shredding guitar, intense drums and the angry voice of lead vocalist, songwriter and bassist, Lemmy (Ian Fraser Kilmister). Bad Magic is expected to be just as awesome as their previous well-known, precious albums.
Foals What Went Down Foals is a pop/rock band with stylistic indie and alternative influences. Since 2005, Foals has released four albums and now a fifth titled What Went Down. Zia Record Exchanges’ locations on both Oracle Road and Speedway Boulevard will host listening parties to showcase the new album tonight. Expect to hear laid-back chord progressions, raspy vocals and light guitar fills. Warner Bros. Records

the reel deal with alex guyton
The extended conversation between a music journalist and one of America’s most iconic authors makes for extremely compelling fare on the big screen. “The End of the Tour,” which relies on the memorable performances of Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel, is one of the year’s best films. In 1996, writing for Rolling Stone, David Lipsky spent five days on the road with author David Foster Wallace during his book tour of “Infinite Jest.” Wallace’s seminal 1,079-page tome had propelled him into the center of the limelight of the literary world, and, to a slightly lesser extent, popular culture at large. The article Lipsky would write on his experience was never published, but in 2010 his time with Wallace was chronicled in his book, “Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself.” In “The End of the Tour,” Eisenberg plays Lipsky, who is tired of writing 500 words of fluff for Rolling Stone. A massive novel from an author who lives in suburban Illinois is making waves in the literary community, presenting Lipsky the opportunity he so keenly desires. A recently published novelist in his own right, Lipsky sees Wallace as peer, rival and measuring stick. Although skeptical of the praise being bestowed onto the novel and its creator, Lipsky can only muster a resentful, conceding “Shit” when he finally sits down and reads “Infinite Jest” in his modern, well-decorated New York City apartment. His clean, metropolitan style of living is not what greets him in snowy Illinois. The bandana-ed, long-haired Wallace, played by Segel, lives alone with his two large, black, mixed-breed dogs in a house littered with bric-a-brac and soda cans. Of course, the contrasts extend to the men themselves. The perfect summation is that Wallace introduces himself as Dave, while Lipsky prefers his proper, two-syllabled first name. Both interviewer and interviewee wear their personalities on their sleeves. Lipsky stakes his identity on his intellect and education; he wears his smarts as a badge and he wants it to be the shiniest, biggest badge in the room. Wallace, on the other hand, presents himself as colloquial and unassuming; he’s as Midwestern as flannel. He’s not one to overtly wield his intellect like the sizeable asset that it is.

MODERN MAN FILMS
Throughout the course of the five days they spend together in the close quarters of cabs and hotels, Lipsky will try to unearth the enigma that he makes Wallace out to be. Wallace, not one to give in easily to inquests into his deeply guarded personal life, isn’t exactly forthcoming with information at first. This one-sided quid pro quo is the core of the movie; it’s one man trying to get another to open up about himself. It’s simple, and probably wouldn’t hold weight if it weren’t for the talents behind and in front of the camera. Segel as Wallace is the revelation, as much having to do with the talent of the performance as it does him going against his established comedic identity. The “How I Met Your Mother” co-star begins well-spoken and mellow, but will explore emotional depths as he allows us into Wallace’s unsettled, albeit well-meaning, inner life. Of course, as to be expected from Eisenberg, he delivers a characteristic performance, both in quality and in character. Both actors are dynamic with and against each other.

Silicon Personal Computer Solo artist Silicon recently announced that he will release his debut album Personal Computer today. To celebrate this announcement, Silicon, otherwise known as Kody Nielson, released his latest single “Burning Sugar.” From the song, listeners can expect to find funky bass grooves, electronic influences and some serious drum kicks throughout the album. Although Silicon is not the most popular artist, he is definitely getting more traction and publicity leading up to Personal Computer. With his growing number of followers, Silicon may someday top the charts.
They are given exquisite dialogue from screenwriter Donald Margulies and director James Ponsoldt. Ponsoldt works supremely well with character foils; his teenage coming-of-age story “The Spectacular Now” saw a popular boy and nerdy girl interact in authentic, unaffected light. Here, too, each character is revealed in their relationship to the other; Lipsky calls out Wallace for being a phony in his regular guy-ness, and Wallace counters that Lipsky just has an agenda that he needs to adhere to. As much as they butt heads initially, they come to appreciate and even enjoy each other’s presence, and that is the ultimate victory for two seemingly diametrically opposed people. “The End of the Tour” is currently playing at The Loft Cinema.
Weird World Record Company
The Weeknd Beauty Behind the Madness The Weeknd’s highly anticipated album of the summer is finally here. The Weeknd artist Abel Tesfaye has been on the radio and in listeners’ ears for some time now—long enough to familiarize people with his sound and leave them wanting more. Beauty Behind the Madness embodies Tesfaye’s experiences of the past and his vision for the future. He says, “Last year I did all the politicin’/ This year I’m all focused on the vision,” in “Tell Your Friends,” a song off of the new album. Expect to hear a similar sound to what you’ve heard from him before but with a new twist that will only embellish his art.

&
Smoke mirrors BY JACQUI OESTERBLAD The Daily Wildcat
Dillon Ramage was smoking outside Caffe Luce just steps away from the UA campus on a Tuesday afternoon, talking about a run-in he had earlier that morning. “We were all smoking in that place between our classes,” said Ramage, a senior studying film and television, “and this guy—he looked like a maintenance worker—he didn’t say anything, but he definitely gave us a dirty, disapproving look and just shook his head and walked away.” Ramage said he started smoking regularly when he could legally buy cigarettes at 18. These days, he smokes about a pack a day. A year ago this week, the UA implemented a new Smoking and Tobacco Policy, “[prohibiting] the use of products that contain tobacco or
nicotine” on all campus property. According to Ramage, that policy hasn’t had any effect on his smoking habits. “I’ve always tried not to smoke around a lot of people,” he said. “Even when the ban wasn’t in place at all, I’d always try to find like a corner, a nook or cranny somewhere that I could smoke in where I wouldn’t affect too many people. I still do that now.” Ana Lucia Quinones, a junior studying film and television, said she feels similarly. When the ban was first announced last year, Quinones originally took notice. “I was a little bit more careful about my surroundings, I guess. I would kind of ask people if it was okay if I had a cigarette, if it bothered

them. That was about it, though.” Sometimes people would tell Quinones not to smoke near them. Usually, though, they told her to go ahead. Quinones has been smoking since she was 15, and she, too, says there has been no difference between her smoking pattern during her freshman year, when tobacco was permitted on campus, and her sophomore year, when it was banned. “[My friends and I] were pretty upset about the ban when it first started,” she said. “Like, ‘What’s going to happen? I want to smoke on campus. […] I’m over 18, I should be able to smoke.’ But eventually, we just didn’t care.” When asked about student testimonials like this, Melissa Vito, senior vice president for student affairs, said, “I’m not sure that I would call that a complete study.” While a scattered handful of students willing to speak to a reporter about their tobacco use is not indicative of the wider campus culture, these personal stories are all we have, because the university has not yet begun gathering data about the campus ban with an eye to potential enforcement mechanisms. “This is not a policy that is static,” Vito acknowledged, but she said the next step is a conversation about whether to include e-cigarettes in the ban. For now, enforcement is on the back burner. “We haven’t really considered it,” Vito said.
Features • August 28-30, 2015 Arizona State University’s administration, though, has. Starting in June, ASU began issuing $50 fines to those found violating its tobacco-free policy, which is a year older than the UA’s. Further violations lead to a referral to the Dean of Students Office for students, or a direct supervisor for faculty and staff. “Over time, it was evident that social enforcement was not incentive enough for ongoing compliance for some smokers,” ASU Director of Wellness Karen Moses told The State Press. Moses did not respond to the Daily Wildcat’s phone calls and emails seeking comment. Some UA students agree with ASU’s logic, and they have started a petition on the Campaign for Common Sense website calling for the university to “enforce the UA smoking and tobacco policy,” arguing that the “UAPD should ticket smokers.” According to its website, “[the] Campaign for Common Sense offers the UA community the opportunity to question current practices and propose more sensible approaches.” Allison Vaillancourt, vice president of human resources and institutional effectiveness for the UA, who oversees the Campaign for Common Sense, believes that the petition is premature. The tobacco ban, she said in an email, “represents a significant cultural shift.… Though the policy has been in effect for only a year, there is broad agreement that there is far less tobacco use on campus.” Vaillancourt did not, however, cite any GRAPHIC BY JESSIE WEBSTER

evidence to that effect. Student Health Advocacy Committee copresident Sona Shahbazian said she agrees with Vaillancourt. “We think that in its first year, its inaugural year, [the tobacco policy] has made a change on campus,” Shahbazian said. “So we’re happy.” Dean of Students Kendal Washington White thinks that giving her office or the University of Arizona Police Department the responsibility of actively enforcing the policy would be “an impossible task and not the most efficient use of human resources.” SHAC’s other co-president, Aaron Brussels, has mixed feelings. “I understand where [ASU is] coming from, because enforcement is a big concern for these kinds of things,” Brussels said. “But the goal of the UA’s tobacco policy is to change the culture as opposed to punishing smokers or tobaccousers.” This logic mirrors Vaillancourt’s. She argues that each of the hundreds of American colleges
or universities that are tobacco-free had used a different approach. “The [UA] decided to focus on establishing community standards, rather than using punitive sanctions to change behavior,” she said. Besides, Shabhazian argues, “This policy is coming in strides. We’re still working on making sure there’s proper signage around campus.” This was a point Vito emphasized, as well. “We need to see if we do get more traction as there is more signage and as we go into another year of this,” she said. Cynthia Thomson, professor of public health and director of the Arizona Smokers’ Helpline, doesn’t think that plan will work. “Posting does little to change behavior for most of us,” she explained. “Yes, it’s a little check on our conscience and … it might drive a small amount of our behavior, but not much. I mean, the reason we stop at a red light is because we don’t want to be killed. We don’t stop there because someone told us we have to stop there. Most of us are not that conforming.”

SMOKING FROM PAGE 13
Social enforcement may be a particularly bad idea among youth. “Especially when you think about a campus where people are coming together, it’s a whole shift in their lifestyle. They’re moving away from home, they’re meeting new people and there’s a huge pressure to fit in and make it work,” Thomson explained. “So the last thing they want to be doing is blowing the whistle on their peers and potential future friends.” When social enforcement does occur, it can create a more uncomfortable campus environment for everyone involved. Ramage told a story from last semester about a girl who repeatedly butted heads with his smoking group. “Our smoking schedule was like her transportation schedule,” Ramage said, and she would tell Ramage and his friends that they weren’t supposed to be smoking. “And one of my friends—he was very deadpan—he … took a big puff of his cigarette and blew it out kind of toward her. It was a little rude, but the smoke didn’t go in her face or whatever. She was far enough away where it wouldn’t really affect her. I think she was taking that ‘social enforcement’ thing a little seriously.” When asked whether adding a fine might make a bigger difference than confrontations like these, Thomson replied, “It could.” In the end, she explained, when the government can’t convince people that running a red light will kill them, the police write them a ticket, and that’s why “enforcement may be more effective in this age group.” Still, Thomson cautioned, “It’s an addiction. It is not something that people just go, ‘Well, I’m just not going to smoke because I don’t want to pay a $50 fine.’” “Over 85 percent of smokers started before age 18,” Thomson said. “That’s why I would say the message is

Despite her belief that e-cigarettes were months, Thomson explains, whereas “cold turkey has banned on campus, she continued to use hers. “I’ve, like, smoked blunts walking across campus and about a 1-to-2 percent effectiveness for 30 days, and nobody’s said anything,” she said, “so I couldn’t really longer-term it doesn’t even help.” While Thomson argues that a “no smoking” sign imagine them caring about e-cigarettes.” If she was asked to, though, Anna says never convinced anybody not to light she would put her e-cigarette away on up, Vito stands by the idea that better I’ve, like, campus. communication needs to occur before smoked “I’m not doing it to offend anybody, I’m any fines are imposed. blunts walking across just doing it so I don’t have a headache,” “We try not to fine people for a lot of things,” Vito said. “It may be that a year campus and nobody’s she explained.

ANA LUCIA QUINONEs, a junior studying film and television, holds a lit cigarette on Park Avenue on the UA campus Tuesday, Aug. 25. Quinones was under the impression that the tobacco ban was enforced with a fine. She has continued smoking anyway.
“Once we have four years of undergraduates coming in, we’re going to have an entire undergraduate population that knows the UA as a tobacco-free community, and then we’ll be able to reasonably judge how we’ve changed opinion,” Brussels argued. Thomson thinks the UA already has an advantage in building a tobacco-free culture. “It can be a blessing to be at the [UA] because Arizona has some of the lowest smoking rates in the country,” she said. “There’s a lot of outdoor activity,… so I think there’s more of a wellness environment that permeates into the issue of smoking and vaping.” Encouraging the growth of that wellness culture will continue to be the UA’s main strategy for reducing the instance of tobacco and nicotine use on campus for at least the next year. “If we enforce it strictly, there will be people who will be upset about that; if it’s not enforced strictly enough, it clearly can make some other people upset,” Vito said. “So we have to take an approach that we believe makes the most sense within this campus community.” That approach, she says, involves “more signage, more communication, more active conversations, [examining] the issues around e-cigarettes, and then [engaging] a broader campus conversation with student leadership and others about what our next steps ought to be.” Meanwhile, as ASU and the UA battle it out over the best way to enforce their respective tobacco bans, Northern Arizona University is moving toward implementing its own tobacco and nicotine policy, which will see “full implementation next August,” according to Daniel Bruey, director of administration NAU’s Campus Health Services and chair of the new policy’s Implementation Team. And how will NAU enforce its ban? “We will be relying on social enforcement,” Bruey said. — Follow Jacqui Oesterblad @JOesterblad

OPinions Editorial UA tobacco ban just smoke and mirrors
It was the night before classes started; social events marked by forced friendliness and repetitive what’s-your-major introductions set the campus abuzz. As one of us pulled out of a parking garage, ready to retreat home, they heard a knock on their window. It was a young man, most likely a freshman (judging by the lanyard around his neck), who inquired loudly, “HEY! Got a light?” For a moment, they thought of telling him this was a smoke-free campus. Silence prevailed. A year ago, the UA, in what seemed like a breath of fresh air to parents of potential students, officially banned the use of all tobacco products on campus. The new policy generated polar responses. Some lauded the ambitious attempt to make

campus a cleaner place; others scoffed at the school’s attempt to coddle its students and dictate the life choices of grown adults. Twelve months later, the verdict on the policy is still, well, smoky. To the laystudent’s eye, it honestly doesn’t seem like much has changed. While campus remains a generally pleasant place for commuters, we all pass through the lingering scent of cigarette smoke daily. Ironically, this seems to happen in suspiciously high concentration nearest to the school’s “No Smoking” signs. Regardless of the policy’s theoretical efficacy or inefficacy, its lax enforcement calls us to wonder: What was really the point of this rule in the first place? The Smoking and Tobacco Policy states, “The purpose of this Policy is to establish the University of Arizona’s commitment to protect the health of University faculty, staff, students, and visitors on its campuses.” Sure, the intention seems pure. But, if the real reason to enact the policy was to protect people’s health, shouldn’t it be more highly enforced—for everyone’s sake? The official ban also states, “The success of this Policy depends on the entire campus
community and its members being willing to hold one another accountable. Whenever possible, concerns about tobacco and nicotine use should be respectfully addressed at the time such concerns arise.” Really? When was the last time a law was successfully enforced by righteous pedestrians piping, “Hey! Don’t do that!” It is unreasonable for the university to expect its students to take on the awkward burden of enforcing its policy. If the university intends to hold its students accountable for maintaining better health, it needs to use its own resources to do so. ASU recently added a $50 fine as a reprimand for people caught smoking on their newly tobacco-free campus. While this may not be the best way to rehabilitate smokers’ health habits, it certainly shows that ASU intends for its ban to be actualized. If the University of Arizona Police Department can pull over a bicyclist for peddling on the sidewalk, supposedly in the name of public safety, why can’t they also take action against the cancer-causing agents on those sidewalks? The UA’s unwillingness to enforce the ban
makes us think that maybe it is just smoke and mirrors, after all. Without more concrete enactment, the policy is little more than a way for the university to boost its image and tout its tobacco-free status. The ban’s gray area leaves just enough leeway to shame tobacco users while not actually offering improved resources to help them quit. If the true intention of the Smoking and Tobacco Policy is to promote student health, great. But if the ban won’t be enforced, there shouldn’t be a ban at all. Student health would be better improved by investment in resources to combat addiction than by public shaming. When reevaluating the policy in the future, the UA should realize that, unlike a person bothered by public smoking, addiction can’t just get up and walk away.

The video was criticized for being racist and hyper-sexualizing because only white women were featured, sometimes wearing bikinis. Online aggravators didn’t draw the line there.

Capitalism keeps America afloat The 2016 election has some of the most polarized candidates we’ve seen in years, ranging from socialists to the most outspoken conservatives. It’s an exciting time for college students, as young voters, to navigate the democratic process—many for the first time— and to learn more about ourselves as we discover where our own political views align. That process can be rough, however, for the uninformed voter. Students can start to make the process easier by looking at history to determine what works and what doesn’t. As you probably know, the U.S. is a capitalist economy. Supporters of capitalism argue for improving the education and skills of the poor and middle class to make them more productive, with the idea that this gives them a better opportunity to share in wealth. Those who favor redistribution of wealth— or socialism—oppose the capitalist economy, arguing the U.S. system of capitalism is politically rigged. They say moving up within this system is not realistic, and that the better answer lies in redistributing the wealth from the top. As Bernie Sanders, a self-professed democratic socialist, gains in popularity within the Democratic party, it will logically be necessary for Hillary Clinton to move further left toward the “redistribution” emphasis to
compete for the heart of her party. With two popular candidates leaning further from our existing capitalist system, as voters we need to ask: Where could they be taking us? One of the dominant arguments taken up by those opposing capitalism on the far left is the “inequality gap” between the income of the top 10 percent and the remaining 90 percent of Americans. They emphasize comparing the lifestyles between the two groups—a theyhave-yachts-and-we-don’t sort of thing. But capitalism has accomplished a lot for Americans in the last century. One of the fundamental principles supporting capitalism is that free people, working in a free society, work harder and create more due to the existence of personal incentives. The competition of the free market maintains relatively low prices. Free-market capitalist economies, like the U.S.’s, have become some of the most productive suppliers of human necessities by efficiently allocating resources through supply and demand, as opposed to other economies without similar levels of competition. Thanks to the flourishing of capitalism, even the poor of our nation enjoy a significantly more comfortable lifestyle than they, or even the wealthy, did a century ago. The same transition can’t be seen in countries without free market economies. David Schmidtz, a UA Kendrick Professor of

Volleyball opens season with road tourney Arizona volleyball heads into the 2015 season with a revamped roster that relies heavily on transfers, freshmen BY Brandon James
The Daily Wildcat
Rebecca Noble/The Daily Wildcat
Volleyball head coach Dave Rubio gestures during Arizona’s win against Cal State Northridge on Sept. 6, 2014. The win finished a 3-0 weekend for the Wildcats.
Arizona volleyball will begin its season on the road in Dallas, playing three games over Friday and Saturday. The Wildcats, who begin the season ranked No. 17 in the country, are competing in the SMU Invite. Arizona will play host to Southern Methodist Friday at 5 p.m., Texas State on Saturday at 9 a.m. and Abilene Christian Saturday at 3 p.m. On paper, SMU looks to be the Wildcats’ biggest challenge of the weekend. “We’re playing a really good SMU team,” Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio said. “They’re returning five starters from a team that went 26-5 last year, so they’re very, very good. They wanted to play
us. It will certainly give us a pretty good indication of where we are at in regards to our training and our development.” Rubio admitted to being a bit anxious about the opening weekend because three transfer students — McKenna Painton, Nikki Attea, and Mackenzie Kleespies — will step onto the court in a game situation for the Wildcats for the first time. The newcomers have impressed the coach in practice thus far. “I like what I’ve been seeing,” Rubio said. “All three of those guys … have been outstanding for us.” Although Rubio will wait until after the first weekend to make any major judgement, he feels that his squad is in a good place after hard training and
intense practices. He wants to see how his players will compete during the first few matches. “Every match, every set, there is always going to be a moment in the match that is going to determine whether you win or lose,” Rubio said. “I’d like to see whose going to be able to step up and whose going to lead us at those particular moments.” One player that won’t have a question mark next to her name is junior Laura Larson. She will look to apply all she learned from her experience playing for team USA overseas in the World University Games over the summer. Larson said that playing with elite athletes from all across the country gave her a lot of confidence and taught her how to become a better leader.

Football news and notes: one week away BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat
Practice report Arizona football wore red helmets in practice on Thursday, a signal that the season is now less than a week away. It sounds like no one is more anxious for the season to get started than Rich Rodriguez. Arizona’s head coach said he always gets this way leading up to a new year, and not because he likes the feeling. “I’m more nervous about the first game every year because we don’t have anything to gauge it off of,” Rodriguez told reporters after practice. “I’m a little nervous that we’re inexperienced at certain positions and that we’re not as deep at
certain positions as we want to be.” One reporter asked Rodriguez about this team’s personality compared to last season. Given that the team’s leaders from 2014 are back — Scooby Wright III and Anu Solomon — it shouldn’t be a surprise that the 2015 Wildcats share a similar makeup according to the head coach. “I hope it’s like last year’s in that they love playing until the very end and never gave up and never quit,” Rodriguez said. “I think these guys have that same personality and work that way, and I would be disappointed if they didn’t.” Former walk-ons earn scholarships One of the best parts of any fall camp is when
coaches award full-ride scholarships to walkons. This year, two of those former walk-ons are saftey Carter Hehr and wide receiver Abe Mendivil. Rodriguez said Wednesday that Hehr in particular has been one of the hardest workers all through camp. “He’s worked his tail off,” Rodriguez said. “He typifies everything you want in a student athlete. He’s earned a scholarship, and obviously he’s earned the playing time.” Hehr, a 5-foot-10 redshirt sophomore out of Fontana, Wis., said he landed at Arizona almost by chance. UA wasn’t on his radar until he turned on ESPN one December day when the Wildcats completed a miraculous victory in the 2012 Gildan New Mexico Bowl.
“I actually applied to Arizona when I was watching the Arizona New Mexico Bowl, and they came back,” Hehr said. “I was like, ‘no essays,’ so I applied here.” Hehr played quarterback and safety at Big Foot High School. There, he said he sent his game film to numerous schools, only to hear back from coaches that they wanted someone “a little bigger, faster, stronger.” Arizona was the only major program to offer Hehr a chance to walk-on. Now he has his tuition paid for. “With getting into the Eller [College of Management] and getting some time playing, I thought a scholarship potentially could

With the summer behind her and the college season underway, Larson is now looking forward to playing strong opponents like SMU so early in the season. She thinks it will prepare the team moving forward. When asked about what she wants to see in her team, Larson said she really wants to see her team and continue to play hard in all situations. “When we’re down, I want to see the whole team try to step up and not just let points go and get down on ourselves,” Larson said. “I want to stay positive, stay in the game, and really fight back if we ever get down.” When it comes down to it, Rubio said his team will ultimately be evaluated by the scoreboard. He thinks the weekend in Dallas will be an important indicator of where his team is and what they will need to work on in the weeks to come.

come,” Hehr said. “When Coach Rod called me into his office, I was ecstatic.” Mendivil’s journey to Arizona is not quite as adventurous. As a sophomore wideout from Apollo High School in Phoenix, the UA was an in-state school where he could continue his football career. But, similar to Hehr, Mendivil did not expect that a full-ride scholarship would be in his near future. “I was just happy and full of emotion,” Mendivil said. “It was a good moment. I just feel like whatever I can do to contribute to the team, whether that be a backup position or special teams or a starter, I just want to compete.” As for Mendivil’s biggest influence at Arizona? “I would say the [previous] walkons on the team,” he said. “I would come to them and watch their work ethic.”

Arizona volleyball’s frontline jumps to block a spike by Cal State Northridge during a game Sept. 6, 2014. The Wildcats won the match.
Arizona soccer players watch the ball during a game against Lipscomb on Sept. 19, 2014. The Wildcats won with a score of 3-1.
Four of the incoming freshmen were ranked in PrepVolleyball.com’s Top 100 class of 2015 players. Setter Sarah Dixon was the highest ranked recruit, coming in at No. 30 nationally. The recruiting class ranks No. 14 in the country according to PrepVolleyball. com. Not all of Arizona’s newcomers are freshmen. Head coach Dave Rubio brings in a triage of transfers who could all see immediate playing time. Earlier this week, Rubio expressed optimism when discussing the impact of the transfers. Arizona also brings back All-Pac-12 Conference setter Penina Snuka and 2014 contributors Laura Larson and Kalei Mau. If the new additions can blend in smoothly with the returners, the Wildcats should be in good shape to earn another NCAA Tournament bid and perhaps advance even farther than last season’s second-round loss.
Kaufman in net was one of the bigger question marks coming into the season, but freshman Lainey Burdett has filled in nicely so far. The offense, defense and goalkeeping has been solid , but not everything has gone as planned. The midfield has been ravaged with injuries. Sophomore Cali Crisler and junior Lexe Selman were both injured in the first game, and Selman is expected to miss the entire season. Losing two starters is never easy and head coach Tony Amato has expressed his concern about his team’s ability to replace them. However, in the team’s first game without them, their replacements played quite well. The offense, loaded with talent, should continue to be effective and efficient. If they can continue to defend at a high-level and adequately replace their lost midfielders, they should improve on last year’s 13-8-2 record. Which, by the way, was the team’s best since 2005. The program is undoubtedly on an upswing right now.

Arizona volleyball will look to improve upon last season’s trip to the NCAA Tournament despite losing a host of house players. The program brings in a good deal of talent courtesy of both transfers and freshmen, on top of a few skilled returners. Volleyball, like soccer, is building off a postseason appearance last fall. The Wildcats went 24-10 in 2014 and earned a national seed in the NCAA Tournament. A big bulk of that team either graduated or left the program for other reasons over the summer. Nonetheless, the Wildcats should have enough depth to replace those departures. Eight freshmen are listed on the Arizona roster, an unusually high number that would suggest the program is entering a rebuilding phase. Fortunately, there’s a lot of quality within the quantity.

The women’s soccer team could improve this season as they returned most of their key contributors from last year’s 11-8-2 campaign, including Gabi Stoian, who led the team in scoring last year and already leads the Pac-12 Conference in points and goals. She could very well be the best scorer in the conference. The expectations for this season were higher than usual, and so far, the Wildcats have exceeded them. They won their first two games on opening weekend, including an impressive win against a tough Santa Clara squad that went 14-6 last year and was picked to win their conference this season. Arizona’s offense is averaging more shots per game and is converting them at a higher rate than last season, while their defense has given up just one goal and 11 shots in two games.

ARIZONA FOOTBALL head coach Rich Rodriguez sizes up his players during the Beanie Bowl scrimmage Wednesday, Aug. 26.
Tucson supports Rich Rod, football BY JUSTIN SPEARS The Daily Wildcat
Arizona football has its “licence to thrill” this season after coming off the most successful year within the past decade, despite not winning a bowl game. Even with the success earned by the Wildcats, there’s still a mystique missing with the program.
Fair or not, when the college football world thinks of Arizona, the conversation will turn to basketball nine times out of 10. Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez is progressing into his fourth season at the helm of the program, but this time he’s not under the pressure he was at his last coaching stint. Many forget that Rodriguez once called Ann Arbor, Mich., home. Coaching in “The Big House” that seats just fewer than 110,000 people with the rich history

of Michigan football must be frightening. At Michigan, like any blue-blood program, the mentality of winning will always be national title or bust. Boosters, fans and alumni constantly breathing down your neck to get a win is uncomfortable, even for an animatic Rodriguez on the sideline. That was his last job. Luckily for Rodriguez, this isn’t Michigan. He’s at a program that has never won an outright conference title or been in contention for a national championship. For any coach, that would be a turnoff when looking for a job, but this is a chance that even Rodriguez should be licking his chops over. As fans of sports, we tend to follow wherever the victories are taking place. That’s why there are more Golden State Warriors fans, Kansas City Royals fans and Seattle Seahawks fans. Heck, even some of the Miami Heat fans converted to cheering for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Does it have anything to do with LeBron James playing in five consecutive finals? Wins are everything for fans, and now that Rodriguez has had winning seasons every year in Tucson, he can finally put the icing on the cake. Winning on a consistent basis will bring more fans to Arizona Stadium; therefore the culture of the Old Pueblo
will completely change. That’s being-asports-fan 101. Last season was a perfect example. Once Arizona shocked the world by defeating then-No. 2 Oregon in Autzen Stadium and moved to 5-0 for the first time in the Rodriguez era, the following game against USC filled Arizona Stadium to the brim. Of course, that game would turn out to be detrimental when Casey Skowron became public enemy No. 1 after missing a game-winning field goal, but finally there was electricity in the Tucson football world. Arizona football will always take a back seat to Arizona basketball, and as long as basketball head coach Sean Miller is employed in Tucson, then football will have a different identity. It may not be the identity of schools like Alabama, Oregon or even the almighty Michigan program that cut Rodriguez loose in 2011, but at least the identity is there. With the fresh facilities broken in, the recruiting prospects improving and Rodriguez following up a Pac-12 South title, Arizona football has the opportunity to improve the fan base. Stacking up fans and revenue will also lead to Rich Rod stacking up his money with a fresh contract that could keep him at Arizona for many years to come.

Soccer travels north to face Lumberjacks BY RYAN KELPAIRE The Daily Wildcat
Following a pair of opening weekend wins, Arizona women’s soccer will look to improve to 3-0 on Friday in Flagstaff against NAU. It will be the first road trip of the season. The Lumberjacks, who finished 12-6-4 and won the Big Sky Conference last season, should present a challenge for Arizona. NAU returns eight of its starters from last year’s team, including five all-conference selections. However, the Lumberjacks did lose 3-2 against Grand Canyon University in their season opener. Historically, Arizona has fared extremely well against NAU. The Wildcats are 7-0-2 all-time against the Lumberjacks and won last year’s matchup in a 1-0 dogfight that was decided in the 87th minute. For Arizona to continue its
perfect record against NAU, it will need to continue to build off the offensive success it has had through the first two games. The offense is averaging 18.5 shots per game while scoring a conference-leading six goals in the process. Their shot percentage has also increased nearly 7 percent since the end of last season. Sophomore forward Gabi Stoian is again leading the team in scoring, as she already has three goals, tied for the conference lead. She also leads the conference in points with seven. Her fast start resulted in her being named the Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week. To make matters more impressive, this is a feat she accomplished while nursing a sore ankle. Meanwhile, fellow forward sophomore Charlotte Brascia is tied for the conference lead in assists with two. The offense has been
fantastic but the defense has been strong as well. They have only given up five shots on goal in the first two games and just 11 shots total. Only one of those shots has found the back of the net. Head coach Tony Amato said freshman goalie Lainey Burdett has done a good job of not only making the big saves, but also managing the game. As well as Arizona has played in its first two games, it still has some things to sort out, specifically at the midfield position. Sophomore Cali Crisler and junior Lexe Selman were both injured in the season opener and have not returned to action since. In fact, Amato said on Sunday that Selman is likely out for the season with a serious knee injury. The team will need someone to fill her absence going forward. “The initial signs would say that [Selman] is probably going to miss the season, and we’re going to have to have

some players fill and step up, which we had tonight,” he said after the win against Santa Clara. Injuries and all, Amato has still liked what he’s seen early on in the season. “We’re 2-0,” Amato said emphatically. “It’s hard to win games, and we’ve had some setbacks in terms of injuries and what we want to see out of the team. But we’re 2-0 and that’s a great way to start the season, and we can build off that moving forward, so we’re pleased”. There wouldn’t be a better way to build off of it than to win a road game against a formidable NAU team. But if last season’s matchup between these teams is any indication of how the game will play out, it will be no easy task.
