Accreditation at risk The UA College of Medicine-Phoenix received a warning regarding its governing policies

The recently established University of Arizona College of Medicine–Phoenix was issued a warning by accrediting body Liaison Committee on Medical Eduction. If the college does not make changes to its governing policies, it could face probation or loss of accreditation as an independent medical school. The warning came after a visit to campus early in the year by the committee, responsible for the college’s accreditation process, to evaluate if the institution had met the criteria to move up to a “provisional” accreditation status over the “preliminary” accreditation status the college has held since 2012. Both statuses are steps for the school to gain its full accreditation. Instead of finding the college as meeting its criteria, the committee, which could not be reached for comment, found four areas in which the college may need to readdress its governing practices. Haig Aintablian, a second year medical student attending the college, said the school has been transparent during the accreditation process. They kept their students informed throughout via frequent town hall meetings. “For us, everything has been taken care of in every aspect of our education,” Aintablian said, speaking about the governing lapses cited by the LCME. “So when it comes to our curriculum or anything like that, we haven’t seen any effect at all.” A large part of the committee’s hesitation to upgrade the school’s status pertains to the recent merger between the UA and Banner Health. The committee cited concerns that the new partnership could possibly limit student opportunities and resources. “The Banner affiliation was happening at about the exact same time that the accreditors were here, so I think there was just some confusion about that huge document,” said Judy Bernas, associate vice president of University Relations for the Phoenix campus. The first issue cited a need for clarification on power and responsibility of the dean in relation to the newly formed Academic Management Council. The council was formed after the Banner merger to oversee the relationship between

The Banner – University Medical Center Tucson is a nonprofit hospital located on 1501 N. Campbell Ave. The University of Arizona College of Medicine–Phoenix received a warning that it may lose its accreditation if it does not make changes to its governing process by December 2016.
Banner Health and the UA, and to oversee faculty operations and academic activities within Banner – University Medicine Division. The LCME is asking the college to further define lines of authority between the council and the dean on decisions made about the college. In addition to that, 10 of the 22 department chairs are also vacant at the moment, raising another area of concern for the LCME. According to Bernas, the college is making quick moves to fill those vacancies by launching searches for potential candidates and instating interim chairpersons. The third issue regards the number of faculty who are on the college’s admissions committee. This is another issue that the college is making quick strides to remedy, as the change to the bylaws will be voted on by faculty in the coming months. The LCME is also concerned with the dean and the faculty’s ability to ensure that students have all of the clinical rotations that they need surrounding the Banner merger. This concern stems from a stipulation of the merger that gives Banner the authority to sever the university’s existing ties with other hospitals by Feb. 2019. Bernas, however, wants to ensure students attending the college that the administration is not going to let anything happen to the school’s status. “We’re really reassuring them that this college is accredited, [and] there is nothing wrong with the education that they are getting
here,” Bernas said. “In fact, the LCME was really laudatory of the student experience and the student learning and the curriculum, so that was really a strength of the college that they found.” According to Bernas, the warning status that the school received was more of a heads up to areas that may be in need of more attention. Pointing out areas in need of improvement is part of what the LCME does with new schools, and the warning is nothing more than a reminder for the college to correct issues before they move too far down the line, she said. “I think of it like soccer with a yellow card,” Bernas said. “It’s kind of like, ‘Hey! We’re looking at this, and we want to make sure that we address this before you guys take the next step.” For students, this warning doesn’t carry much weight. The college still retains its status as an accredited medical school. “With regards to the student body being affected, I haven’t seen that at all,” Aintablian said. “I don’t [think] any of the students really are worried about the accreditation thing because so many other schools run into issues, and this isn’t even a big one.” The LCME has allowed the college one year to improve upon the aforementioned issues and expects a progress report from the dean by Dec. 1, 2016.

interested group of men at the UA, Berenson said, who hoped to form a brotherhood and change the dynamic amongst chapters in the greek community. Berenson said at other universities, Greek Life is more intersocial than at the UA. “At other schools, greek chapters go to other greek chapters’ social events,” Berenson said. “We’re the only school that’s not like that.” Some examples of philanthropy events held by multiple greek chapters suggested by Zeta Psi are “Peanut Butter and Jelly Time,” where members come together to make sandwiches for the hungry, and a softball tournament for which every fraternity can compete for fun, all proceeds going to cancer research. Zeta Psi members also suggested that fraternities participate in water pong tournaments and paintball events together.

Times are a-changin’ in greek row, Greek Life BY brandi walker The Daily Wildcat
With the arrival of the new semester, there have been some changes in Greek Life at the UA. Fraternities Sigma Alpha Mu and Zeta Beta Tau both relocated their fraternity chapters to houses on greek row, First Street. “Sammy (Sigma Alpha Mu) is excited to build new and positive relations in the greek community and contribute to a culture where competition is friendly and community is paramount,” Sigma Alpha Mu president Joshua Schwartz wrote in an email. “With regard to Sigma Phi Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau, who are also relatively new to the row and relatively close to Sammy, we look forward to building meaningful and cordial relations, we offer our support and neighborly assistance and finally, our congratulations on their new member candidate classes.” Schwartz said Sigma Alpha Mu is now at the corner of Cherry Avenue and First Street, where members of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity lived previously. “Sammy began seeking new housing as its membership and organizational needs could no longer be met by its previous facilities,” Schwartz said. “It is no secret that greek row provides both proximity to the greek community and vast growth opportunities.” The new house holds more than twice the amount of people as Sigma Alpha Mu’s previous house and can provide living space for up to 50 members, Schwartz said. “While the house holds 40-50, it is currently occupied by 25 brothers,” Schwartz said. “This is largely due to the fact that once it became available, the vast majority of Sammy members had already signed leases elsewhere. Sammy looks forward to filling the house completely this upcoming year.” Schwartz said the former members of Delta Tau Delta took over Sigma Alpha Mu’s old lease, allowing it the financial flexibility to move into the new house. “Sammy’s chapter has a newer, larger house, proximity to the greek community and stronger growth opportunities,” Schwartz said. “The former Delta Tau Deltas have a facility which both houses them and allows them to operate with a
lifestyle not drastically different from the one they had before the move.” Brian Kewin, president of the UA Interfraternity Council, said the relocation of Sigma Alpha Mu and Zeta Beta Tau this semester allowed the recruitment process this fall to run more smoothly. Kewin said that in addition to the geographical changes in Greek Life, new fraternities Zeta Psi, Alpha Kappa Lambda and Theta Xi were able to participate in the Interfraternity Council fall recruitment process this year. “Men who joined Zeta Psi, Alpha Kappa Lambda and Theta Xi have a unique opportunity for early leadership, entrepreneurial skills as well as a smaller brotherhood compared to some of the already established chapters, which if you’re looking for mainly the brotherhood aspect are perfectly fine, but finding early leadership is tough,” Kewin said. “They were able to recruit men who are like-minded and want early leadership and want to be the startup behind what could be a lasting legacy here at the [UA].” Zack Berenson, a pre-business sophomore and member of Zeta Psi, said the fraternity formed in Fall 2013 with a small group of guys and has now grown to have 22 members and 25 new recruits. “We pride ourselves on strong brotherhood, diversity and academics,” Berenson said. “We struggled in the process to get initiated — getting rejected by the school twice, losing some guys, gaining more back — but the core of Zeta Psi stuck through, and that’s why our brotherhood is so strong and resilient.” Berenson said one of Zeta Psi’s goals is to change the status quo of Greek Life to be more of a community rather than a competition to be the top house. “Greek Life has a lot of opportunity to develop college students into leaders, but right now it’s broken,” Berenson said. “That’s what Zeta Psi wants and is working on.” Berenson said Zeta Psi holds its chapter meetings at the Student Union Memorial Center and has an unofficial house on Mabel Street not recognized by the Interfraternity Council. — Follow Brandi Walker @brandimwalker

Police beat ARIZONA STUDENT UNIONS Compiled BY ariella noth
Party in the Park
A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for a charge of Minor in Possession with Alcohol in Body on Aug. 22. The UAPD officer reported that he was stopped at the intersection of Sixth Street and Highland Avenue when he saw a male student staggering from left to right. He attempted to cross the street, but stumbled off the sidewalk and into the road. The student got up and proceeded to cross the street. The officer went over and asked if he was alright. He stated that he was okay. The officer noted that the student had red eyes and asked where he was heading. He responded “home.” The officer asked for his identification and asked him if he had anything to drink. He said that he had not. Upon closer inspection of the student, it was noted that his eyes were also watery and his breath smelled of alcohol or marijuana. The student then stated that he had a couple of drinks. The officer asked the student where he was coming from, and he responded “Party in the Park.” He denied drinking at the event. The officer read the student his Miranda rights before asking him questions relating to his alcohol consumption. The student said that he understood his rights, but that he would not answer any questions unless he had to. The officer advised the student to answer his questions, but he refused. The officer informed the student of his diversion to the dean of students, and he said he understood.
Booze and snooze
A UAPD officer responded to a request for a welfare check on two individuals in Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage. The officer went to the reported location and saw a man and woman lying in a parking space surrounded by empty beer bottles. The officer stepped out of his vehicle and said hello, waking both individuals. They were slow to respond and move. When asked if they needed medical attention, they did not answer. The man sat up, looked at the police officer and proceeded to lie back down. The woman told the man to “sit up; quit being rude.” She proceeded to apologize for his behavior. The woman identified herself verbally and with a hospital wristband she was wearing. She told the officer that they were walking from Banner — Health University Medical Center to a house near Broadway Boulevard and Highland Avenue when they decided to take a break to rest on top of the garage. She said that a group of “college” kids gave them a six pack of beer, and together they drank all six. She said that they must have fallen asleep and lost track of time. The woman was coherent and knew where she was. The man identified himself with an Arizona driver’s license. He told the officer that he had two or three warrants from the Tucson Police Department for alcohol violations. The officer confirmed the warrants and arrested the male individual. He was booked into Pima County Jail and the woman was given a courtesy ride off of university property.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships 48% of UA students are single/not dating, 13% are casually dating, 35% are exclusively dating one person, and 4% are engaged or married. (2015 Health & Wellness Survey, n=1,946)
Where can I get free condoms? OK, so it’s not enough that condoms prevent unplanned pregnancy and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. You want ‘em to be free, too?? Well, you’re in luck! Every Friday during the semester from 12-2pm is Free Condom Friday at Campus Health. Show up at Health Promotion on the 3rd floor of the Highland Commons Building, and receive a free,
no-strings-attached, variety pack of 5 condoms. We even have “ONE” brand condoms that everyone seems to want. Need more condoms but short on cash? Check out the Campus Health Pharmacy. A pack of 100 condoms is only $15.99 – and, as always, it’s billable to your bursar’s account as a generic “Student Health Charge.”
When is an appropriate time to first have sex in a relationship? Short answer: when you’re both ready and willing. Long answer: everyone is on a different timetable when it comes to sex. For some, the hook-up comes first and the relationship builds from there (yes, it’s possible). Others may choose to wait until marriage before having sex (yes, it still happens). Many times, it’s somewhere in between. Let’s face it; the rules of “engagement” for the timing of sex in a relationship are confusing and down-right arbitrary. Is it 2 dates, 5, or 10? And what if you’re not even sure if some of those encounters were actual dates to begin with? The better advice is to decide together, but keep
in mind you and your partner may see things differently. So what does it mean to be “ready” for sex? This has everything to do with what sex means to you. Does your potential partner need to be a “keeper” or will “good enough” do? In addition to the emotional aspects, are you ready to practice safer sex? And what about the “willing” part? No matter when you decide to have sex, this one always applies. Consent is sexy – as well as the law – so be sure you get it before you go further, whether it’s a FWB or someone who might be much, much more.

Pillars inscribed with influential women’s names stand in the Women’s Plaza of Honor. Some pillars are dedicated to women activists in Arizona.
Activism on the UA campus: feminism BY Matthew Rein
The Daily Wildcat
The UA is home to an extensive collection of advocacy organizations. Over the course of the semester, The Daily Wildcat will highlight some of these organizations and discuss their mission here on the UA campus and beyond. Adjacent to Centennial Hall, the Women’s Plaza of Honor stands as a testament to the lives and achievements of women not only in Arizona, but around the world. Like the women whose names will be forever etched in stone, there are many organizations at the UA that seek to advance the cause of women’s rights. One of these organizations on campus is the Women’s Resource Center. The WRC’s mission is “to serve as a hub for programming, collaborations and advocacy on issues of gender equity, feminism and masculinity.” “We see ourselves as enabling students to be leaders, activists and engaged citizens,” said Krista Millay, program director of the WRC. Millay said the WRC gives a home to feminist-minded students who have a passion for women’s rights issues. According to Millay, one of the most important developments over the past few years at the WRC is that they are having “conversations about the issues that matter. There’s a center, staff, students and a means to have these important conversations.” Millay said that with the WRC’s 37 interns, through word-of-mouth and positive messaging, real change can occur on campus. It’s those conversations that drive change, Millay said.
The WRC also has three separate internship programs focusing on different areas of women’s rights and activism. One of these internship programs is FORCE, or Feminists Organized to Resist, Create, Change and Empower. FORCE is directly involved with the WRC as an opportunity for feminists who are looking to make a change within the UA community and spark a conversation. Kassandra Manriquez, a senior studying journalism and women’s studies and an intern for FORCE, said “the FORCE interns work together to create programing and are always thinking of new ideas for future programs.” As an example, Manriquez cited FORCE’s monthly “Censored Series,” where the club discusses taboo topics from a feminist perspective. According to Manriquez, “all you need to do in order to become involved with FORCE is simply show up to our events. The goal is to make everyone feel welcome and supported.” The overarching theme of the WRC, FORCE and other feminist organizations on campus is inclusion and acceptance. According to Millay, they provide a home to those who feel passionately about women’s issues. The WRC is located on the fourth floor of the Student Union Memorial Center in the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership. For more information about the WRC, visit wrc. arizona.edu/.

TERESA GRAHAM BRETT works on a computer in her office on Friday, Aug. 28. Brett is a newly hired associate dean of students, specifically in charge of multi-culture inclusion and initiatives on campus.
New dean prioritizes campus inclusion BY SEBASTIAN LAGUNA The Daily Wildcat
The UA hired a new associate dean of students, Teresa Graham Brett, to help focus on multicultural engagement and inclusion in the campus environment. Brett is in charge of overseeing campus programs and evaluating how they are handling current issues. In addition, she is looking to develop new programs and initiatives with students and faculty members this upcoming year. Brett said she is looking to spread a message of inclusion within the entire university. She noted that her main task thus far has been getting a sense of where the campus stands today. Brett said there have been many people who have been interested and committed to making a difference and that she envisions herself working to build strong relationships with them. Brett mentioned that she is looking for “gaps within current campus programs” while trying to determine which strategic partnerships can be used to improve the current system. She is going to be working directly with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning Affairs, the Women’s Resource Center, African American Student Affairs, Asian Pacific American Student Affairs, Native American Student Affairs and the Guerrero Student Center. Brett is currently exploring new collaborative initiatives with other university institutions in order to help facilitate campus-wide engagement. One of the main challenges to the new position, Brett said, is that building a new social norm of student engagement comes at a high expense. In addition to the monetary cost, Brett said there is also a significant cost in terms of spreading awareness and information throughout the university. In order to provide students and faculty with
the necessary level of access to new programs, Brett acknowledged that she and her staff will have to create a strong foundation to build upon in the future. The high level of polarization and natural resistance to change, Brett said, is another obstacle that she plans to overcome with a positive outlook on learning and acknowledging different perspectives. “People can learn and change if we are open to taking a step back and looking at life through the perspectives of one another,” Brett said. With this in mind, she said she will be eagerly trying to reinforce the significance of the value of each person’s unique frame of reference with which they view others around them. One of Brett’s goals this year is to make sure there are enough spaces for students to explore the ideas and perspectives of other cultures. She said she believes this will help to form an educated campus that will be able to have productive dialogues to solve the major issues of inclusion facing the community. According to a recent article published by University Relations, ethnic diversity among freshmen is more than 40 percent, while among transfer students, it is over 47 percent. “A diverse and educated student body allows for multiple opportunities for students to explore themselves and others in order to overcome differences,” Brett said. Brett said she believes students will become more aware of their peers in order to work together towards solving problems. She said she’s most excited to work with her staff towards improving the process the university uses to handle multicultural and inclusion issues. With their continued work with students and faculty, Brett and her staff are looking for new ways to create an open environment on campus this year. — Follow Sebastian Laguna @DailyWildcat

Reagle’s legacy: a puzzle mastermind BY CHASTITY EVA LASKEY The Daily Wildcat
Puzzle master Merl Reagle, who died Aug. 22 at the age of 65, is being honored and remembered for his enthusiasm, charm and brilliant mind, not only by friends and colleagues, but also by the readers of his crossword puzzles. “After he talked, people would rush the stage like he was Mick Jagger because they just wanted to talk to him personally one on one, and thank him for his puzzles,” Frank Rizzo said of the late Merl Reagle about the book and speech tours he did. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” Rizzo, a writer at the Hartford Courant, and Scott Carter, the Executive Producer of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” had been friends with Reagle since their days on the staff at The Arizona Daily Wildcat back in the early 1970s. Carter was the arts editor, Rizzo was the theatre and movie reviewer and Reagle was a copy editor who wrote album reviews and created some puzzles for The Daily Wildcat. “He was king of the copy desk, mainly because he was a good editor, but it was his headlines, especially the headlines that he couldn’t run, that amused us all, and we all knew that he had an amazing mind,” Rizzo said. Reagle was the most incredible copy editor that any publication could ever have, Carter said, because he had an encyclopedic grasp of synonyms and the ability to figure out counts of words, one reason he was so great at figuring out headlines. “When he was copy editor he would have all the other guys on the copy desk write down and scramble up six five letter words and then surprise him,” Carter said about Reagle who was a copy editor at both the Arizona Daily Star and The Citizen. “If he couldn’t unscramble them all in 30 seconds, he would have to buy them lunch, but if he could unscramble them all in 30 seconds, they would have to buy him lunch. He never lost, so eventually they gave up.” Reagle attended Catalina High School in Tucson and, at the age of 16, became the youngest person ever to sell a crossword puzzle to The New York Times. Rizzo said Reagle was paid $10 for that crossword puzzle. Both Rizzo and Carter said that Reagle didn’t always think he could make a living creating crossword puzzles, because he knew the world of crossword puzzles was very difficult. Rizzo explained that once someone submitted a puzzle back then, it didn’t run with that person’s name on it, and the newspaper owned the puzzle. “He had an endless curiosity for everything, [and] not just words; his mind was just continuously whirling,” Rizzo said. Reagle, although most popular for his puzzles, was multitalented and had a variety of interests. He was an entertainer, composer, performer, writer and a musician. He was even the lead singer of a 70’s rock band called Greylock Mansion. Carter said that he thought at the time he was going to be a household name for his music.

“He could [have] spent his life doing three or four different things,” Carter said. “He was always funny and entertaining. It was like he was a game show host when he was a copy editor, because he would keep a constant stream of questions or he’d be challenging you with puzzles and be doing all of these things at once.” Rizzo said that he even had a stint as a game show writer in California, where he met his future wife, Marie. Together, they figured out that they could control their puzzles, get credit and even make some money if they worked for themselves. “He really did this major [imaginative] and entrepreneurial leap that no one else did, in terms of self publishing and going from newspaper to newspaper,” Rizzo said. Rizzo said that Reagle convinced the newspapers that his puzzles would attract more attention and readers. “Of course he’d charm the pants off of everyone there because he had this continuous infectious enthusiasm for words and language, and it’s hard not to get swept up into Merl land,” Rizzo said. Reagle won over newspapers one by one, until he had more than 50 major newspapers publishing his Sunday puzzles. Rizzo said that he once asked Reagle what he would want his last puzzle to be if he ever retired. “He wanted to do an elaborate treasure hunt where he would bury $10 somewhere, and it would be a very interesting puzzle,” Rizzo said. “All the clues would be in the puzzle to where the treasure is, and you could do the puzzle on your own and not think that there was any treasure, but if you looked at it carefully, you would realize that it was a treasure. I bet it would have been a national [phenomenon] where all of America is trying to find Merl’s treasure, but in the end Merl’s treasure really was himself.”

Boutique re-imagined for new generation BY Erika Parra
The Daily Wildcat
When entering the store Private Residence on Fourth Avenue, a girl can expect a shopping experience that is unique from the rest. Previously the store was known as ZT Boutique, owned by Zulema Toledo, but she has now passed it down to her daughter Alia AlRashid who is currently completing the process of transitioning it into Private Residence. Wylie Westerbeke has been a customer for over a year and shared her experience of shopping at ZT Boutique/Private Residence and Al-Rashid’s hospitality. “We’re on a first-name basis now,” Westerbeke said. “I throw my purse down when I walk in, and she shows me everything that she thinks I’ll like.” Al-Rashid learned from her mother how to make shopping a real experience and how to make her customers feel comfortable. She said her customers can relax and feel at home while they peruse the store. Westerbeke describes the store as having a homey vibe. “It’s casual, comfortable and she always has cool music playing. I really like shopping there,” Westerbeke said. Both Al-Rashid and her mother act as stylists for their customers, and Al-Rashid said she feels it is a better shopping experience for the clients when there is more of a connection between them.
Rebecca Noble/The Daily Wildcat
Zulema Toledo organizes clothing at ZT Boutique on Fourth Avenue on Sunday. ZT Boutique carries “effortless and unique clothes” for women.
“I’m here all the time,” Al-Rashid said. “If somebody comes in—I have a great memory. I can say, ‘Oh, you liked this one piece. Let me show you what I found.’ Girls will get an exclusive shopping experience.” This family affair began when Toledo opened up ZT Boutique about eight years ago off the avenue with “one-of-a-kind pieces” and grew from there. Once her boutique started growing, Toledo said her kids encouraged her to move to Fourth Avenue where she could continue her success. Toledo works in special education but has
always enjoyed fashion. For Al-Rashid, fashion is a true passion that she studied while attending school in Los Angeles. When she came back, she started managing the boutique for her mother. “Well her interest is solely [fashion,] and she was a stylist for a celebrity in LA,” Toledo said about her daughter. While managing her mother’s store, AlRashid decided to start her own. “My mom always had a certain clientele and I always wanted my own store as well, and I got a lot of practice from her,” Al-Rashid said.
Al-Rashid’s clothes are attractive to those of the younger crowd, especially the women who attend the UA. She says her clothes encompass many styles. “I have a lot of urban stuff — really effortless, casual basics,” she said. “Some of my pieces are super edgy. Like, I have biker jackets but then I cater to—especially in the summertime—the crop tops and stuff like that. It has a range of style.” Al-Rashid has not forgotten about her roots and wants to carry some of her mother’s clothes in her shop to be able to cater to any age. “The clothes can go from 18 to 50. I like that idea, especially because me and my mom always share clothes. I like for a girl to come in and to find something that you’re not going to find anywhere else,” Al-Rashid said. Westerbeke said that Private Residence regularly has new items. She said that every time she goes to the store she knows that she is going to find a new article of clothing that she will like. Al-Rashid is set for her grand opening in the middle of September and hopes to have a party at her boutique to show off her fall merchandise. Toledo is excited for her daughter to open up her store and to move her own store to its new location at Monterey Court. Toledo’s new location will also be opening in the middle of September.

Halsey’s new album features honest, raw lyrics BY Victoria Pereria The Daily Wildcat
There are a few artists that combine raw emotion, enchanting vocals and haunting instrumentals to create music that is both enjoyable for the listener and expressive of the artist’s passion. Halsey is one of these artists. Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, aka Halsey, isn’t just making her mark with her new album Badlands, she’s graffitiing it on the walls in big block letters and burning it into the floorboards. In a sentence, Badlands is an unapologetic, artistic presentation of Halsey, complete with personal experiences and unrestrained passion. Since being discovered on SoundCloud for her first self-recorded song “Ghost,” Halsey has never been one to hide her feelings and opinions.
Her official website’s biography page reflects this, stating simply, “I am Halsey. I will never be anything but honest. I write songs about sex and being sad.” Don’t expect Badlands to include songs like Jason Derulo’s “Want to Want Me” or Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s “See You Again,” though; Halsey’s new album boldly deals with complex emotions and uncomfortable subjects in a way that many of today’s artists shy away from. The album begins with “Castle,” a track exemplifying Halsey’s signature ethereal electronic sound and imagery-filled lyrics. For those unfamiliar with Halsey’s style, her first original song, “Ghost” is included on the new album, as well as “Hurricane,” a track originally from her EP Room 93 from 2014, which is featured on the deluxe edition of the record.
The standout track from the album is definitely “New Americana.” It’s one of those songs that you can listen to on repeat for an hour and still want to play again; it’s a catchy shout-out to our open-minded and diverse generation. The verses go from describing a successful, independent woman to a gay couple on the football team and celebrating them in an age that is open to what was once unacceptable. The song’s chorus says it all: “We are the new Americana, high on legal marijuana, raised on Biggie and Nirvana, we are the new Americana.” Another exceptional track on the album is “Strange Love,” an explicit, angry message to those who try to involve themselves in Halsey’s love life. The song is a message to her listeners to ignore what people say about them and to do whatever makes them happy. Halsey doesn’t promise
that it will all turn out perfectly in the end but suggests that it is still worth it, knowing that you are living by your own choices and not someone else’s. Throughout the various tracks on Badlands, Halsey’s voice, elegant yet rough around the edges, is always the spotlight and shines bright specifically in songs like “Hold Me Down” and “Control.” With Badlands, Halsey has given listeners new and old a taste of her signature sound with a mix of fastpaced anthems, slow-moving ballads and a few in-betweens, but the real resounding note the record hits is through its lyrics. Although at times disguised by figurative language and upbeat instrumentals, many of these songs discuss difficult personal experiences and heartrending emotions that come straight out of Halsey’s heart and soul.

Embracing one’s true self, sharing it with the world and inviting others to do the same is the mark of a true artist, and through Badlands, Halsey has done just that. — Follow Victoria Pereira @vguardie917

The Weeknd’s new album influenced by pop This is who Tesfaye is, and not even his pop album can change that. Two songs later, “Acquainted” is where the lyrical content of the album starts to take a new direction. Tesfaye’s fear of emotional commitment is very evident, but there’s a slight hint of something that’s never been heard before, something more behind the scenes: the possibility for love. “To say we’re in love is dangerous / But girl I’m so glad we’re acquainted,” Tesfaye sings. Love is a new theme that continues to lace itself throughout the rest of the album. “Prisoner,” featuring Lana Del Rey, is a track that has been highly anticipated since its discovery on the album’s tracklist. Though it’s not as musically memorable as other tracks, the pair’s dark and trancelike vocals make for a perfect duet. “I’m a prisoner to my addiction / I’m a prisoner to a life that’s so empty and so cold,” The Weeknd sings in reference to his newfound feeling of love — Tesfaye seems unsure whether or not love is suited for him, but he’s tired of being trapped in that cycle of avoiding his lonely reality with sex and drugs. The last track on the album, “Angel,” evokes the feel of a heartfelt 80’s rock ballad. Tesfaye seems to understand who he is and the lifestyle he chooses to live, but he reveals that he’s not as emotionless as he leads people to believe. “But I know time will tell if we’re meant for this / And if we’re not, I hope you find
somebody / I hope you find somebody to love,” Tesfaye sings, showing that he is willing to let go of this angel of a woman in order for her to find happiness; that’s how much he cares for her. “Angel” ends abruptly, leaving the audience wanting more. The irony is that as soon as The Weeknd filled our hearts with the hope for love, he leaves. At the end of the album, Abel Tesfaye has found a heart despite thinking it impossible. Tesfaye has found the beauty behind his madness. — Justice Amarillas @WildcatJustice3

“It’s all about me trying to feel something else besides what I’ve been feeling the past four years,” The Weeknd told a reporter from The New York Times Magazine, referring to his highly anticipated sophomore album. Released on Friday, Beauty Behind The Madness is a hauntingly dark memoir of the life of Abel Tesfaye, who comes to grips with his identity and feelings for the first time. Abel Tesfaye, better known by his stage name, The Weeknd, has introduced himself to the mainstream music world with hits like “Love Me Harder” featuring Ariana Grande and “Earned It” from the film “Fifty Shades of Grey” with the intent of becoming the biggest pop star in the world. However, his preceding album Kiss Land and his compilation album Trilogy don’t share the same pop influences Beauty has. With R&B, futuristic and trancelike melodies, Tesfaye sings of having meaningless sex, abusing drugs and living the lonely life. In previous albums, Tesfaye’s voice was his main instrument, while in Beauty the use of instrumental sounds complement his wide vocal range. The influences of Michael Jackson, jazz, blues and 80’s rock ballads are also more prominent. Although his sophomore album incorporates a more mainstream sound, all
three of The Weeknd’s albums are similar in content. Tesfaye still sings mainly about his life. This is not a weakness. Upon his entry into mainstream culture, Tesfaye faced critics and fans scared he would compromise his dark style for something that more people would expect and accept. The Weeknd was not willing to give up his honest material, but he was willing to shape his songs such that they were of clear pop music structure. For that, Beauty does not disappoint longtime fans, and the music industry today deserves a big round of applause for allowing such dark and honest lyrics to play in rotation. What makes Beauty a progressive album in relation to Tesfaye’s life is that his true feelings about his lifestyle start to surface. “Real Life” perfectly introduces the album with anticipatory guitar chords and percussion, with an orchestra that signals the start of the lyrics. Tesfaye establishes his character by telling his audience up front, in a seemingly accepting manner, that everything his mother said of him when he was younger is the truth — his mother’s words became his real life: “Mama called me destructive / Said it’d ruin me one day.” “Tell Your Friends” is obviously reminiscenct of Tesfaye’s old sound. He seems to want to address the image that people associate with “The Weeknd.”

Run the Jewels album re-mixed to feature cats BY MARK FLORES
The Daily Wildcat
Cats: they’re what the people want, and they’re what the people will get! Since the dawn of the Interwebs, cats have trolled through notorious memes and YouTube videos, winning the hearts of millennials and even making our grandmothers chuckle. As fine and dandy as that is, what could possibly make the beloved feline even more popular in our hearts? If you were thinking of producing an album version exclusively with cat noises, Run the Jewels has you beat! The experimental, hip-hop super-duo consisting of bigger-than-life rap veteran Killer Mike and dauntless beatmaker ElP are planning on releasing a cat-remixed version of their popular album, Run the Jewels 2, which was released in 2014. To make matters beyond paw-some, the two are naming the feline-infused work of art Meow the Jewels. How did this kitten-blended idea come to life? Well, funny story — it all started on the popular crowdfunding website, Kickstarter, in late September of 2014. Native Phoenician Sly Jones decided to respond to a joke El-P told Billboard. “I wrote the Meow the Jewels pre-order
package as a joke, never imagining that anyone would crowd fund it (although secretly I think I hoped I could make the album). When I saw the [Kickstarter] and spoke to the guy who started it, I realized it was an opportunity to do something good in a fun way.” Forty-one days and $65,783 later, Meow the Jewels was no longer a joke. According to a meet-up video featuring Jones and Run the Jewels, conducted by Phoenix New Times, the duo had no idea that the Kickstarter would reach its goal. In order for a Kickstarter project to become a reality, it must be funded by others, and in most cases, there are specific donation incentives. In the video, Killer Mike mentioned that the money raised for the cat-centric album would be donated to fight social issues involving police brutality. “[I will donate] directly to the families of [Eric] Garner and [Mike] Brown. If not, to anything to fight police brutality,” he said. Holly Kerrigan, a junior studying agricultural technology management and education, believes Killer Mike’s donation promises are gifts that will keep on giving. “I think that’s really awesome,” she said. “If they give the money to the families, those families could turn that money around and use it for good in the community.”
According to Journalist’s Resource, surveys from recent years indicate that minority communities—specifically Latinos and African-Americans—believe that the police are likely to use excessive force. Criminal justice freshman Maya Velasquez agrees that police brutality affects minority groups more frequently than non-minority groups. “We [Hispanics are] more likely to be attacked by an officer since we’re judged more on crimes we’ve done in the past,” she said. “African-Americans are usually judged based on gangbangers, violence, drugs and other stereotypes.” Not to say that Killer Mike is the better half of Run the Jewels, but he is definitely the most outspoken. According to Diffuser, Killer Mike hosted a lecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which was part of the university’s Hip-Hop Speaker Series, and discussed topics ranging from race, to the music industry, to police brutality. Besides those topics, he made statements regarding President Barack Obama, saying he hasn’t made any momentous improvements on race relations when compared to other presidents. Political science freshman Amanda Flexas agrees with Killer Mike.
MEOW THE JEWELS
“I haven’t noticed anything different; it seems like it’s gotten worse,” she said. Meanwhile, El-P sticks to using Twitter and being one of the most daring producers in today’s hip-hop music scene. If you haven’t already, listen to Meow the Jewels’ track “Meowrly” and expect to cough up a hairball of radness. Get a run for your money when Run the Jewels hits the Rialto Theatre on Sept. 29th!

Funny women make misogyny a joke BY GREG CASTRO
The Daily Wildcat
T
his past summer was a positive one for the public conception of the female comedian. Amy Schumer, amidst continued acclaim for her Comedy Central show “Inside Amy Schumer” and stand-up in general, wrote and starred in “Trainwreck,” one of the summer’s top-rated comedies. With a budget of $35 million and a current box office gross of $105.1 million, the film is an undoubted commercial success. Tig Notaro, long-time comedian who has only recently broken into the broader public eye, had two major releases this summer, with the Netflix documentary “Tig” chronicling her attempts at becoming pregnant and the HBO comedy special “Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted”, bringing her particular brand of humor to a larger audience than ever before. Indeed, it was difficult to drive around Los Angeles this summer without encountering a 14-foot-tall image of one or both of these hilarious women, advertising
one of their many upcoming projects. Such massive accomplishments make feminist concerns over the banal, but ever-present question, “Why aren’t women funny?” seem a now-unnecessary preponderance. After all, we now have empirical evidence to the contrary — or as close to empirical as one can get when speaking of as illusive a subject as comedy. And yet, that question, asked most infamously in a 2008 Vanity Fair article by the otherwise sagacious — and unfortunately deceased — Christopher Hitchens, continues to rear its ugly head in many well-traveled corners of the Internet. Reddit threads with titles along the lines of, “Am I the only one who doesn’t find [blank female comedian] funny?” remain common, usually devolving from their already shaky premises into personal attacks on the comic in question. The darkest of these threads will even go so far as to bring up conspiracy, such as one particularly bizarre comments section that accused Tig Notaro of actually making up her battle with breast cancer to fuel her career. Presumably, Tig’s topless performance during “Boyish Girl Interrupted,” in which she bears the scars of her double mastectomy for all to see, dispels such theories (as if they even needed to be
dispelled), though the lengths of selfdeception misogynists will go to in order to continue to deny female comedic ability apparently know no bounds. The Media Research Center’s Katie Yoder penned an inexorably condescending opinion on the matter of female comedy for Fox News in July, writing, “[Amy Schumer’s] ‘Brilliance’ is really just an endless parade of fourletter skits Schumer delivers as the host of Comedy Central’s ‘Inside Amy Schumer.’” She later wrote, “It’s not [Schumer’s] fault … her parents divorced when she was 12.” Apparently then, the question is no longer whether or not women are funny, it’s whether or not they’re the right kind of funny. Their jokes are too sexual, too honest, too personal. In essence, they’re all the things that only male comedy was previously allowed to be. Local Tucson comedienne Brooke Hartnett provides a counterpoint to Yoder’s point of view: “What I grew to love about Amy Schumer is that she represents a particular kind of woman — brash, confident, messy, loud. That is a real kind of woman, and not one that always is represented in comedy or in the media at all.” When Lucille Ball used her seminal 1950s sitcom “I Love Lucy” to point out the inherent silliness in the domestic
housewife life of that period, misogynists could still laugh because this was subject matter they felt women should be discussing — all the while not realizing it was actually Ball who was laughing at them. Now that the likes of Amy Schumer, Tig Notaro, Mindy Kaling and Jenny Slate are using their own works as a platform from which to discuss their bodies, sexualities and frustrations in relation to both, misogynists aren’t laughing. Rather, they’re scared. They’re recognizing that if these very visible, very popular women feel comfortable being honest when it comes to sex, then the everyday women, the ones the misogynists are trying to take home on a Saturday night, might start speaking their own truth. And maybe, once that happens, the misogynists won’t like what they hear. For there truly can be no other rational reason that men might want to pursue the anticomedienne argument any further. To all men: Let it go. If even Hitchens couldn’t make a proper go of it, then neither can you. — Greg Castro is a senior BFA in film and television. Follow him @DailyWildcat
Exploitative companies need a vacation BY JACOB WINKELMAN The Daily Wildcat

arlier this month, The New York Times published an extensive piece detailing the white-collar working

Jodi Kantor and David Streitfeld of The New York Times, however, reveal some disconcerting systems of the mega corporation and force the reader to confront the hidden costs of Amazon’s business model.

The general message of the article is that working for Amazon is intense, stressful and competitive. Based on interviews with over 100 workers, the exposé details the ways in which white-collared employees are responsible for returning messages around the clock, encouraged to anonymously report coworkers who waste time and often pushed to the point of tears during their tenure. Turnover rates are extremely high and
employees are scrutinized by complex technological systems designed to monitor efficiency and production output. The article ends with a quote from a recent recruitment video: “You either fit here or you don’t. You love it or you don’t. There is no middle ground.” The New York Times article, through its pervasive exploration of the white-collar working conditions at Amazon, highlights

Part of this could just be individuals’ beliefs, but the work environment can also support these ideas — if everyone else is staying late, you will naturally feel the pressure to stay late, too.” Gabriel went on to describe her research and methods to avoid overworking. “In research my colleagues and I are conducting, taking short mental breaks during the day and detaching from work in the evening promotes important outcomes like vigor and motivation and reduces feelings of fatigue,” she said. “People need separation from their work in order to recharge their batteries. Without that separation and time-off, people are going to burnout and turnover, which inevitably costs organizations time and money.” The beginning of the semester is the ideal time to create a schedule that has built in relaxation and leisure. It’s easy to feel a need to do more and take on more intense workloads, but the reality is that this style of work will only lead to fatigue, exhaustion and poor results overall. The Amazon article is an excellent piece of journalism that can propel us into conversations about the type of environment we want as employees, the necessity of improving working conditions for all types of workers and the importance of self-care in today’s stressful world. — Jacob Winkelman is a junior studying political science and English.

College football mischief sours mood BY Ezra amacher The Daily Wildcat
W
ith college football season on the horizon, this should be a time to rejoice for the return of one of our country’s greatest pastimes. Instead, the sport finds itself embroiled in a number of scandals, some embarrassing and some more grievous. Last week, the head coach at one national powerhouse, USC, admitted to taking medication mixed with alcohol before giving a drunken speech in front of boosters. In the same news cycle, a head coach at another national power, Baylor, refused to admit that he knowingly took in a transfer with a violent past. The transfer sexually assaulted a fellow student-athlete. Let’s start off on the west coast where Steve Sarkisian, USC’s second-year head coach, reportedly used foul language and badmouthed other Pac-12 Conference programs during his alcohol-laden speech.
While Sarkisian isn’t the first big-time coach to get drunk or give a fired up pep talk in front of some money-waving donors, he is one of the first to get caught doing both in the social media era. In a business where perception matters as much as anything, Sarkisian’s rep took a big hit. Sarkisian, after all, is supposed to be a leader of young men, a role model for the USC community. By getting on stage and blurting a slurred, inappropriate speech, his ability to lead USC on and off the field is now in question. As lousy and unprofessional as Sarkisian’s actions look, they nowhere near match the level of egregious behavior attached to Baylor head coach Art Briles. In May 2013, Chris Petersen, Boise State’s head coach at the time, dismissed defensive lineman and All-American Sam Ukwuachu from the team without any public explanation. Later that summer, Ukwuachu transferred to play at Baylor. In October 2013, he was accused of sexually assaulting a Baylor women’s soccer player. For nearly two years, no one in the public knew of Ukwuachu’s sexual assault charge. And as recently as
Alex Mcintyre/The Daily Wildcat
Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez barks instruction at the team during practice Sunday, Aug. 30.
this summer, Ukwuachu was still a student at Baylor, expected to play for the Bears football team this fall. It took until mid-August for the media to first report the sexual assault—just days before Ukwuachu was sentenced to 180 days in county jail and 10 years probation by a Texas judge.
When the media and public found out, naturally a lot of people had a lot of questions, namely how was a sexual assault case kept under the table for nearly two years, and why did Baylor accept a transfer with a reportedly troubled past? At the center of these questions
is Briles, the coach who recruited Ukwuachu to Baylor. What did Briles know and when did he know it, was the question most passed around. According to the Dallas Morning News, a former girlfriend of Ukwuachu testified that the defensive end “punched and choked her” at Boise State. Boise State, for its part, denies Ukwuachu’s dismissal had anything to do with sexual assault. And since the school did not publicly state the reasons for Ukwuachu’s dismissal, Briles has so far been able to play the ignorance card. However, Petersen—the former Boise State head coach who is now at Washington—released a statement last week saying that he had “thoroughly apprised” Briles of the situation regarding Ukwuachu’s disciplinary record. Baylor has now opened up a larger investigation into the matter of Ukwuachu’s transfer but for now, Briles will continue as head coach of Baylor. It seems that winning is everything in college football, even if it comes at a moral cost. — Follow Ezra Amacher @EzraAmacher
News and notes: Former Wildcat receiver cut BY Kyle Hansen
The Daily Wildcat
With less than a week until game day, Arizona is making its final preparations before they see UTSA on Thursday. Here are some notes to take away from this weekend in football. Former Wildcat receivers struggling to make NFL rosters A couple of Arizona football’s most prolific receivers from the last few years are finding it hard to make it in the NFL. On Sunday, the New York Jets officially announced that Austin Hill was cut from the team’s roster. Hill, who went undrafted this past spring, caught one reception in the Jets’ first preseason game but did not touch the ball in the Jets’ last two showings. The 24-year-old rookie was one of Arizona’s top
receivers in 2012, but after a torn ACL sidelined Hill for the 2013 season, he never fully recovered. Wherever Hill ends up, he will always be remembered in Tucson for catching the affectionately named ‘Hill Mary’ touchdown pass to beat California last season. Juron Criner, another former Arizona receiver, also appears to be on the verge of getting cut. Criner is currently with the New York Giants organization but has not appeared in any of the Giants’ preseason games. A former All-Pac-12 Conference member, Criner played sparingly with the Oakland Raiders in 2012 and 2013. It doesn’t appear that he will make the Giants’ opening day roster. Injuries already plaguing ‘Cats Injuries have begun to pile up for the Wildcats. Linebacker Cody Ippolito and tight end Trevor Wood have both sustained season-ending injuries, while receivers Trey Griffey and Tyrell Johnson are expected to miss at least a couple of
weeks. The Wildcats will rely on depth and their younger players to step up. Soft Knocks HBO runs a series called “Hard Knocks” and they have followed one team—this year the Houston Texans—every year in each of three seasons. The show covers teams in-depth, giving fans a look at training camp, practice and what the coaches do behind closed doors. According to Greg Hansen of the Arizona Daily Star, head coach Rich Rodriguez and the Wildcats were all set to do their own version of “Hard Knocks” on HBO, but the deal was revoked by Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott and Pac-12 Networks president Lydia Murphy-Stephans. “The Pac-12 is a politically-charged business venture divided in three parts: the schools and their administrators, the commissioner’s office and the Pac-12 Networks,” Hansen said. “All of the parts are not always in agreement.” Hansen also said that while Arizona and the
Pac-12 as a whole would have gained from the exposure, the other schools could have felt at a disadvantage in terms of recruiting with the featured school, in this case, Arizona. Around the country Kickoff for college football finally began on Saturday when four-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State was upset by Montana. Down 35-31, running back Joey Counts scored on a one-yard touchdown run with two seconds remaining on the clock to give the Grizzlies the lead and the win, 38-35. Starting the season off with an upset gives fans everywhere a taste of college football again, along with the idea that an upset could happen at any time this upcoming season. — Follow Kyle Hansen @k_hansen42

Is basketball recruiting a concern? Ivan Leonard: Despite getting off to a slower than usual start, Miller will rebound and land another top class
VS
Justin Spears: Arizona doesn’t carry the same appeal to elite recruits as schools such as Kentucky

BY Ivan Leonard The Daily Wildcat
A
rizona’s 2015 basketball season doesn’t tip off until Nov. 13, but there is never a bad time to talk about college hoops in Tucson, including basketball recruiting. While the Arizona coaching staff has not landed any commits for the 2016 season, they have offers out to multiple top recruits such as Frank Jackson and Kobi Simmons, while fellow five-star recruits Josh Jackson and De’Aaron Fox are both strongly considering the Wildcats. Arizona basketball head coach Sean Miller has turned multiple five-star recruits into lottery picks over the past few years, including Stanley Johnson and Aaron Gordon. This year, it looks like incoming freshman Allonzo Trier has a golden opportunity to be the next top recruit turned lottery pick. Sure, Miller might not have Kentucky head coach John Calipari’s ability to
turn entire starting fives into firstrounders, but the Arizona head coach has enough on his resume to lure elite high school players. Five-star forward T.J. Leaf recently decommited from Arizona and reopened his availability to the chagrin of the Wildcats. While the loss does hurt, Arizona has never been ultra reliant on one player, so players like Chance Comanche and Dusan Ristic will have to step up in the future. Since the 2011 season, Miller has finished no lower than seventh when it comes to recruiting classes and it is hard to believe that the 2016 class will be any different. There may not be any players committed to the 2016 Wildcats just yet, but Miller has consistently shown that he can bring in California kids like Johnson and Gordon along with East Coasters like Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and T.J. McConnell.

T
he month of September is upon us, which means Arizona football, football and more football. But don’t forget that Arizona still has a nationally ranked basketball team that is looking to finally get over that hump called the Elite Eight. Head coach Sean Miller has had many chances to do so with top-level recruits like Aaron Gordon and Stanley Johnson. The star in 2015 could be McDonald’s AllAmerican scoring phenom Allonzo Trier. Miller has always had elite recruits in his basket, and every season, followers of the program understand who’s going to take their talents to the NBA. Trier will be one of those candidates this season along with Gabe York, Kaleb Tarczewski, Ryan Anderson and Mark Tollefsen, who will all be leaving due to graduation. Who’s next in line for another group of Wildcats to follow in the upcoming years? According to the 2016 recruiting class,
there isn’t one soul committed or signed. After five-star big man T.J. Leaf decommitted from the Wildcats during the summer, it’s time for Miller to hit the panic button. Last season, Arizona already tallied three of their four signees before midAugust. Trier, Ray Smith and Justin Simon each gave Arizona the nod well over a year before their college basketball careers began. Miller and company are in a very difficult position that they haven’t been in before. It’s understandable if players don’t hop on board for a program like Kentucky, because it can be overcrowded with NBA talent. Just like any program, there’s always a new batch of high school highfliers coming in, but apparently Arizona isn’t a sexy school to the newer generation of recruits. Sure the recruits may fly in later during the season, especially when the program does visits for the annual Red-Blue Game, but having no commits nearing September is likely a scary feeling for Sean Miller. — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESpears

Football must overcome early injuries BY JUSTIN SPEARS The Daily Wildcat
Football is an extremely violent and physical sport, so it’s hard to stay healthy throughout the year. Even though the regular college football season hasn’t started yet, the Arizona football squad is already dinged up. A few key players are expected to miss the entire season. As the season opener against UTSA nears, the injuries continue to stack up, and Arizona may be tested Thursday night with crucial components that keep the drive for the Pac-12 Conference title going. Oddly, there’s a trend of injured players from Scottsdale, Ariz., specifically those who played at Chaparral High School under current assistant coach Charlie Ragle. Arizona’s first, and arguably biggest, injury of the fall occurred at the center position. When it was announced that UA’s center Carter Wood will no longer lace up the cleats for Arizona due to a chronic foot injury, it sent waves of worry through the program. Wood was planning on replacing Steven Gurrola after serving as his backup for two seasons. Right now, it appears that senior Cayman Bundage will take over the starting spot at center.
Linebacker Cody Ippolito, another Chaparral product, will also miss the entire season. Head coach Rich Rodriguez announced Friday that Ippolito tore his ACL during Monday’s practice. Ippolito is no stranger to ACL injuries after missing the 2013 season with a torn ACL. Perhaps he has the Derrick Rose or Robert Griffin III effect and will have to deal with this type of injury his entire career. Ippolito started six games for the Wildcats in 2014 and recorded 52 tackles. According to the depth chart released by Arizona on Friday, Ippolito’s replacements could include DeAndre’ Miller, Jake Matthews and Sir Thomas Jackson. Just when it seemed the list of injured Chaparral players was going to stop, Rodriguez announced that tight end Trevor Wood would undergo season ending shoulder surgery and will be a redshirt sophomore next year. This season would have been the perfect year for Wood to see action on the field, especially after Rodriguez said he would often flirt with the tight end packages at practice. Now the load will be on Josh Kern’s shoulders. Kern will have to be in great shape if he plans on adding another dimension to Rodriguez’s famous spread offense. Speaking of spread offense, a pair of

Arizona receivers in Trey Griffey and Tyrell Johnson will miss the season opener with foot injuries. Griffey, who has been battling a foot injury all summer, was recently seen rehabbing at practice by running a threequarter sprint up and down the field. He was also seen wearing a brace on his injured foot. As for Johnson, the special teams’ blossom last season, he will look to have the same role this year. Look for Griffey and Johnson to be out as late as the Pac-12 home opener against UCLA. In the secondary, Arizona defensive back Jarvis McCall Jr. also missed most of camp with a shoulder injury and is questionable for Thursday’s game. McCall is expected to bring the experience that Arizona needs in the secondary, so the Wildcats will have to deal with an even younger core with the exception of senior Will Parks. For now, freshman Sammy Morrison is expected to start at cornerback along with DaVonte’ Neal. The Wildcats will look to overcome their early injuries in the season opener against UTSA on Thursday at 7 p.m. in Arizona Stadium. — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports

UA volleyball looks better than expected BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat
Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio expressed anxiety over his team’s youth and inexperience heading into the opening weekend of the season. There’s a good chance now that most of Rubio’s worries have faded, as the No. 17 Wildcats went 3-0 at the SMU Invite in Dallas to begin the year. With a manageable slate of opponents coming up this week, the UA could very well start off 6-0. For a team relying heavily on newcomers, whether they are transfers or freshmen, such a start could go a long way in assuring the Wildcats meet their goal of reaching the postseason. Arizona made quick work of the opening weekend competition, first defeating host SMU three sets to one in the season opener before beating Texas State and Abilene Christian in straight sets. Perhaps just as impressively, the Wildcats did so in a balanced fashion, inserting a total of 13 players across the three games. On attack, five Wildcats tallied double-digits in kills across the three games, with senior transfer Nikki Attea
leading the team with 33. Attea was one of six starters to play every set over the weekend. One of those starters was freshman Tyler Spriggs, a 6-foot-1 outside hitter out of Los Angeles. In her collegiate debut against SMU, Spriggs led the team with 16 kills. “It’s hard to imagine a freshman doing what [Spriggs] did [Friday night],” Rubio said in a statement. “I’m really proud of her and it really speaks to the talent that she is.” Spriggs has big shoes to fill at outside hitter, as she must help the team replace the scoring production of Madi Kingdon and Taylor Arizobal from last year. Having freshmen that can immediately come in and produce suggests Arizona’s rebuilding efforts on offense could pan out quicker than expected. Arizona also received solid offensive play throughout the weekend from Kalei Mau and McKenzie Jacobson, who recorded 26 and 23 kills, respectfully. Jacboson was the most efficient scorer, earning a .400 attack percentage. As a team, Arizona leaves the first weekend of play with a team attacking
percentage of .259. The Wildcats were just as strong on defense by limiting opponents to just over nine kills per set; Arizona averaged nearly 15 kills, by contrast. Unsuprisingly, it was All-Pac-12 Conference setter Penina Snuka who led the way with 10.90 assists per set. Only one other player, Laura Larson, averaged at least one assist per set. Snuka was also the team leader with 5.60 digs per set. While the NCAA has not yet updated statistics for the new season, that average would have ranked among the best in the country in 2014. In short, Snuka did just about everything on defense. Arizona still has plenty to work on in the upcoming weeks, including an errors per set average that is probably a little too high for Rubio’s liking. But this first weekend went about as well as the head coach could have expected given the team’s plethora of fresh faces. The Wildcats now have a few days of practice before they take on a trio of teams in the Arizona Invitational this weekend. REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT
