Amid cuts, UA tries to keep economic diversity BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
The UA admitted the most diverse freshman class in its history this year, and while some forms of diversity around campus are easily recognizable,
others are not. The Arizona Constitution obligates the state to create affordable higher education in order to help all Arizonans pursue a college degree, no matter their socioeconomic class.

AZ Repubs & Dems can agree on one thing: Tuition must be low-cost for residents
BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
Over the last decade, in-state tuition at the UA has increased by 248 percent. Still trying to recover from last year’s budget cuts from the state legislature, the Arizona Board of Regents voted unanimously in April to increase UA tuition and fees for the 2016-17 academic year. Although Governor Doug Ducey proposed adding an extra 8 million dollars to the budget, state funding of public universities remains below pre-recession levels. Continuing tuition hikes equate to more student loan debt, which according to Pew Research Center, has more than doubled in the last 20 years. While most university students contend with the effects of tuition increases, every student has a chance this November to have their voices heard at the ballot box. The Republicans and Democrats running for the state legislature this year will determine the state’s contribution to the public universities’ budgets in the future. According to Bill Beard, the Pima County GOP chair, and Jo Holt, the Pima County Democratic Party chair, Arizona's Republicans and Democrats can agree on one thing—per the state's constitution, college tuition must be as low-cost as possible for Arizona’s residents. Each party’s platform and philosophy on funding addresses this memorandum in a different fashion. While not every Republican candidate for state legislature holds the same position, Beard said, “A number of them have said the funding formulas at the university level need to be examined.” He said when Republicans send state
dollars to public universities they want value for their investment. “It goes back to the idea—are [universities] educating more students or growing the bureaucracy of the education system?” Beard said. “The Republican Party does not want to see an increase in staffing without a commensurate increase in the number of educated students or the quality of the product.” Beard said another important question for Republicans is whether the funding from the state legislature going to college degrees with high production are improving the economy in terms of either dollars or people. He said Republicans want to ensure a valuable education for students with their state funding. Without continually increasing state funding, Beard said most Republicans believe Arizona can fulfill its constitutional obligation of affordable tuition while also ensuring that graduates exit a public university with a quality education and a good-paying job. While Republicans currently control the state legislature, the Arizona Democratic Party hopes to make gains this election and pursue an alternative policy to funding public universities. “When the economy has trouble and revenue goes down, there are many places that [legislators] could look in the budget [other than education] to fix that lack of revenue,” Holt said about Ducey’s cuts to public universities. In order to increase funding for public universities, Holt said the state Democrats plan to cut subsidies and tax breaks to corporations. “The cost [of tuition] is mounting,” Holt said. “Arizonans are short changing a critical

UA frat recruitment: 899 rush, 571 place BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall
In the days leading up to the start of classes, over 900 men braved the August heat and went through the recruitment process in the hopes of eventually joining a fraternity. The rush process, which ran from Aug. 16-21, ended with bid day at the end of the first day of classes, where those who rushed could receive invitations of membership. Not every person who rushes is guaranteed to receive a bid. Of the 899 men who began recruitment, 571 were placed with a chapter on bid day, according to Lauren Leif, assitant director of UA fraternity and sorority programs. Leif, who provided the numbers via email, said the placement rate of those who began the process was 63.5 percent, which is up from last year's 46.4 percent. Adam Davidson, a political science freshman, was one of
many this year who received a bid from a house this year but did not accept. “I decided to not accept the bid I was given because I thought that, while the guys in the fraternity were great and nice guys, it simply was not the fraternity I had hoped for,” Davidson said. Davidson said he rushed for the brotherhood and bond, the potential for connections on and off campus and the social aspect. Jacob Van Patten, a psychology sophomore, said he felt like he had a lot of free time his freshman year and wanted to join Greek Life to be part of the events done around the community and school. Van Patten is now a member of Zeta Psi. “I got along with the guys well and it didn’t seem forced,” Van Patten said about his choice. “The experience has been a lot of fun.” Every house is different, but most are set up in the same way: The new members pay their dues to belong to, and go through, the pledging process. Pledging is the
new member education process until initiation when they become full-fledged members. Up until then, the chapter can still drop members or members can choose to drop out. In the spring, fraternities can participate in informal recruitment. For some potential new members, rushing a fraternity was a long time coming. Pablo Gomez, a pre-business sophomore, said he has wanted to rush since high school, ever since he saw his brother go through the process. Despite the long, exhausting days, Gomez said he feels like he made the right decision. “It’s long, it’s hot. It’s really hot rushing in 90-degree weather in August," Gomez said, who ended up joining Theta Delta Chi. "But I promise it’s worth it at the end of the day." Now that the semester is underway, those who rushed face one of two realities: readjusting expectations after not joining a fraternity or setting out on the path to becoming a full member of the house they have

POLICE BEAT BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1
Stop, drop and roll out On Aug. 16, University of Arizona Police Department officers were dispatched to Rawls Eller Lodge after a resident assistant reported a marijuana odor emitting from one of the rooms. When the RA knocked on the door of one of the rooms to let the residents know about quiet hours because she had heard noise, she saw a resident holding a six-pack of beer bottles and smelled marijuana. When the officers arrived, the room’s door was completely open and the three residents inside invited the officers into the room. One officer did not see or smell any marijuana. After being told the officers were there to investigate an odor of marijuana, the residents told the officers that a fourth person had been in the room with a baggie of marijuana but left through the bedroom window when he heard the police were coming. The RA told one of the officers that she had seen one of the residents throw a six-pack of beers out of the window. The officer went to the alley outside of the room and found a single broken beer bottle and a pool of liquid. The officer in the room saw that the three remaining residents had watery, red eyes and smelled of intoxicants, so the officer spoke to the residents, who said they had consumed alcohol at a pre-rush party at a fraternity. All three provided a breath sample and showed positive for the presence of alcohol, and all three were issued a student diversion for Minor in Possession. The suspicious backpack A UAPD officer saw three men walking near the area around the Optical Sciences building on Aug. 18 and noticed that the men were all looking directly at the officer. One of the men was wearing a backpack, which the officer thought was out of place since it was around 10 p.m. and school was not yet in session. The officer noticed a strong smell of burnt marijuana, and when the officer turned back to the men, the men seemed to look like they may run and that they were nervous. The officer asked the men, who were later identified as UA students, to stop and noticed they all had watery, red eyes and a nervous demeanor. When the officer spoke with one of the men; he said the three of them had been smoking one joint and when they saw the officer they threw the remaining joint into the bushes. The man, who said he smokes marijuana around once a month, said it had been his first day on campus and he had decided to smoke marijuana with the other men. The officer looked in the bushes and was unable to find the used joint. The three men were issued Code of Conducts.

NEUROSCIENCE AND COGNITIVE SCIENCE and molecular and cellular biology sophomore, Konner Kirwan, tries to navigate an implement from one end of a bent and shaky wire to the other without touching it in the Zombie Lab escape room at Fox in a Box Tucson on Sunday, Aug. 28. The trio attempted a pirate-themed escape room last December at Phoenix Escape Room in Tempe and were unsuccessful, but they managed to escape the Zombie Lab at Fox in a Box Tucson with about four minutes to spare.
“We have to put ‘do not touch’ stickers on [electrical outlets] because people might think that there’s a clue in there,” Caitlin said. “Hiding things is kind of our thing because if it isn’t meant to be used, we don’t want you to really see it or be able to touch it.” The rooms were built concurrently and took about a month to complete, according to Caitlin. Since then, the couple said they have made some changes to the rooms based on feedback from players, such as taking out decorative prop magazines that had players thinking they needed to search the entire magazine, thus taking up time. They have also included pens and paper in the room for people to take notes. “Puzzles can change, it’s kind of an ebb and flow in terms of how we change it, but one little thing can definitely change the whole room,” Caitlin said. “People kind of constantly give us
feedback. We’re definitely at that stage now— we’re getting into the scheme of things, of how things should run.” Now that students are back at the UA after summer break, Caitlin said the two are hoping to get more students to come to Fox in a Box Tucson. So far the business has drawn in people from all ages. Neil said he has seen people ranging from ages 10-70 years old going through the rooms. Neil said he enjoys the autonomy of running his own business and hearing positive feedback from players. “Having the right type of mindset when you go in is essential to having a great experience,” Neil said. “I really enjoy creating that mindset for people, hearing [positive feedback] really motivates me especially to want to keep doing this.”

Diversity Task Force talks priorities & bias BY MEGAN JACOBY @DailyWildcat
The Diversity Task Force held their first meeting of the semester on Monday Aug. 29 to gather their eight committees and discuss what needs to be accomplished this year. The committees mainly focused on the gender, racial and sexual orientation biases that revolve around the UA campus and how they can help provide students with the appropriate resources to meet their needs. Tannya Gaxiola, one of the task force’s cochairs, spoke about how each of the committees has a list of demands given to them by the students. Gaxiola is also the chair of the UA Diversity Coordinating Council and assistant vice president for Community Relations. “Part of the challenge is that this is a campus where one of our values is shared governments and inclusion,” Gaxiola said. “Making sure that we are including lots of folks and hearing lots of voices as we’re going through this process is a big challenge but also a big focus for us.” Melissa Vito, senior vice president for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and senior vice provost for Academic Initiatives and Student Success, and Kendal Washington White, dean of students, opened the meeting by introducing their new projects for the year. The committee said one of their projects focuses on the Student Recreation Center and having a locker room that accommodates everyone’s preferred gender. “We’ll be the first rec center in a large campus to have a full gender youthful open locker room area,” Vito said. Vito said this project is about making the campus feel more inclusive for students, and as long as the council has the funds, the project will continue to progress forward. Washington White shared a story about being at a Board of Regents’ dinner last November where a woman came up to her and acted like she knew her, touching her hair. “That really triggered me,” Washington White said. “If I struggled with this and had a reaction to it, let’s think about what our students are experiencing on campus.” Nick Sweeton, Residence Life interim executive director, spoke of the projects Residence Life is implementing in the dorms to study the effect diversity has on students living with people of different racial backgrounds. “We are studying how people of different backgrounds form successful relationships,” Sweeton said. “[We are] studying roommate pairs that went through the random roommate assignment process, honing in on roommates who come from different racial ethnic backgrounds.” The Dean of Students Office now has a distinct reporting option on their website so students can report anonymously about any bias incident that occurs on campus.

diversity and senior diversity officer, spoke about the goals this program hopes to achieve and how to implement these changes to make the campus more approachable for students. Treviño said his goal is to develop the diversity infrastructure from the top down so deans and vice presidents are being attentive to diversity and inclusiveness because not many people are doing it. “We cannot leave the students behind,” Treviño said. “We can learn a lot from our students, we just have to be open to listening to them.” At the meeting, the task force members said one of the main issues students have touched on is the increase of staff in cultural departments. “Our commitment was to allow the task force to complete its work, hopefully by the end of this calendar year,” Vito said. “Then we will figure out what the implications will be for staffing.” The students also raised concerns about the use of preferred pronouns being available to students when they first start filling out the paper work for UA. The Diversity Task Force said the students come first in their program and how they feel on the UA campus every day is what matters the most.
Let’s look at alcohol; AZ law says your “body is a container” so you can be cited for Minor in Possession (MIP) if you consume alcohol under the age of 21 and literally have it in your system. Students often don’t realize they are being arrested when given an MIP citation by UAPD. You can avoid a conviction on your record if you complete diversion either through the court or UA Dean of Students Office. Also, you can get a DUI if your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) is below a .08. Another often unknown fact is that AZ is a non-expungement state meaning you can’t get rid of your criminal record, but keep in mind there is a difference between an arrest and a conviction. This is important when filling out job and school applications or applying for work-related licenses. You might ask what constitutes a criminal record. Student Legal Services identifies the following student-related examples: • MIP (if you don’t complete diversion) • DUI (most cases)
• Fake ID • Shoplifting • Marijuana possession • Caught with prescription drugs not prescribed to you • Criminal speeding (excessive speed above posted limit) What can you do? You can apply for a “set aside” but it doesn’t delete your record, though can mitigate it. How does this work? Student Legal Services says if you fulfill all the conditions of your sentence and are discharged by the court, you may apply to have your judgment of guilt set aside. If your application is accepted, the judge will sign an order to set aside your conviction or dismiss you of guilt. If all of this seems confusing, you can talk to a lawyer available to you through Student Legal Services located on the 3rd floor in the Student Union Memorial Center. They can’t represent you in court but they can advise you. It’s also FREE! Hopefully you don’t need this service, but if so, contact them at legal.asua.arizona.edu. They’re really nice and can help reduce your stress about that citation.

The UA’s commitment to admitting a socioeconomically diverse class each year, as laid out in their 1990 Diversity Action Plan is an ongoing institutional challenge according to Rebekah Salcedo, director of Scholarships and Financial Aid. This year, 33 percent of undergraduates on campus qualified to receive a Pell Grant according to Salcedo, whose office attempts to provide need-based aid to all incoming UA students. Salcedo said more than half the students awarded need-based gift aid this year are minorities. “We recruit and enroll students from all walks of life,” said Kasey Urquidez, dean of undergraduate admissions and vice president for enrollment management and student affairs advancement. “It is important for students to be exposed to, and learn from, a wide variety of individuals. Learning from others is a huge part of what college is all about. In addition, we want to be an accessible university and help educate Arizona’s population and grow the number of people with a bachelor’s degree.” Salcedo said as tuition rises and outpaces the purchasing power of the Pell Grant, low

She said due to financial instability and other contributing factors, Pell Grant recipients on campus have a significantly lower six-year graduation rate compared with other students. Fedyst Fomeche, a physiology major, said it’s important to make college affordable so everyone has a chance to succeed. In order for the university to echo Fomeche’s beliefs, it has to place a greater emphasis on students applying for private financial aid. “The more [the university] can do to advocate for sources [of aid] that are coming from outside of the tuition stream, the better off all students are,” Salcedo said. While it’s a continuing institutional challenge to provide aid to all students in need, Salcedo said the UA is continuing to try and provide more opportunities for low-income students to advance their futures. Salcedo mentioned that the Arizona Insurance Company provides low-income students that meet GPA requirements scholarships, and the Diversity Task Force is currently working on finding more scholarships for students who have been involved with the cultural centers on campus.

To flirt or not to flirt, that is the question BY ANNETTA NIT @DailyWildcat
W
hen thinking of a setting that could invite potential flirtation, one would picture a bar, a party or somewhere public and highly populated—like a college campus. Networking, socializing and getting involved is expected of any college student who is looking to get the most out of their college experience. But some people care more about getting to class on time or finishing homework than giving out their number to someone they just met. That still doesn’t stop flirtatious types from trying. Back when I was in community college, I saw attempts at flirtation on occasion. That’s not to be confused with catcalling, where someone is being shouted at in either an objectifying or otherwise uncomfortable way. Almost every woman I knew had a story regarding flirtation while they were occupied or just wanting to be left alone. Even I had experiences like that. Looking back, I thought it was because the population in community college was usually smaller and less dense. It made sense; the smaller the community, the more likely it was for you to know someone. After transferring to the UA, I found out I was completely wrong. One day, I saw a guy walk up to a girl working on her laptop. I was sitting on a bench nearby when it happened, so not only was I overhearing them completely unintentionally, but I also had a front row seat to everything unfolding. It became very apparent that they weren’t familiar with each other, and the girl, who seemed busy, tried to avoid the advances even further by trying to look invested in her work and paid little attention to the guy. It didn’t work. Her body language said “I’m not interested” as she didn’t face him and continued to either be on her laptop or her phone. The guy wasn’t being conversational either, as he went straight in to asking her questions on knowledge only he seemed to know. Their interaction was completely a dead end street. Eventually, the exchange ended with the
ALI ALZEEN/THE DAILY WILDCAT
guy sliding his phone towards her and saying, “Here, put your name in this,” without even asking her permission. She replied with a perturbed “what?” At that point, even I was getting uncomfortable, so I pulled my nose out of that conversation. I wasn’t the only one watching; another guy sitting at the table beside me threw in a comment about the exchange as well. I can only assume how she felt. I gathered from her tone of voice as she was on the phone after the guy left that she was very bewildered. Now, I want to break down this interaction

further. I want to say there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting oneself out there to try and pick up some eye candy. That’s the number one way to get anyone’s attention. What makes the situation immediately awkward is when you go in with some sort of expectation and stick with your failed plan after the other person doesn’t reciprocate. At that point, it’s time to abandon ship. Don’t cling to the wreckage, it only makes the other person more uncomfortable, and the interaction usually ends up being a weird story someone tells to a friend afterward—which is exactly
what happened in my experience. If you’re going to approach someone, level out the field and don’t loom over the person as you’re talking to them. This is a type of exchange you can expect to see during your years in college, but know that there are people who are wary of such interactions, as there have been incidents where flirtation turns excessive, even violent. I’m sure many people have stories of when they received unsolicited flirtation; be sure to share those stories with others so they know what to do when it happens.

Bernie Sanders: Gone but not forgotten BY RAAD ZAGHLOUL @Raadzaghloul
Y
ou wouldn’t know it walking through campus, but the Democratic presidential primary ended months ago. Bernie Sanders stickers still adorn backpacks, jackets, cars and even the occasional forehead. Clearly, Bernie’s supporters aren’t giving up, nor should they. Failed activist candidates from past elections have always left their mark upon Washington. At least some of these lingering displays of support carry a defiant streak, borne out of the feeling that the system steamrolled a worth-while candidate. The beating the Bernie-or-Busters have taken in the arena of public opinion has only added to a broader sense of frustration and malaise. The argument that Hillary Clinton represents the evil against which Bernie fought helps create a sense of hopelessness and apathy. There will always be the loyalists who will never
abandon their candidate, whether it be the ‘Berners’ or the one guy who still carries a torch for “Jeb!” However, those in the former camp should take solace in the fact that a similar situation happened before. In 1968, Eugene McCarthy was a long shot. The poet, writer and then-senator from Minnesota launched his campaign with little fanfare. President Lyndon Johnson, though at that point extremely unpopular due to his escalation of the war in Vietnam, still carried some serious political clout. Four years earlier, Johnson had annihilated Arizona’s own Barry Goldwater, winning a mind-boggling 44 states. As time wore on, McCarthy gained more and more traction. His anti-war stance made him hugely popular among young people, who volunteered for him in droves. Sound familiar? He gave talks on college campuses and received ecstatic applause. When the dust settled after the New Hampshire primary, the first in the country, the results shook the political world. The moonshot candidate who ran essentially only to oppose Johnson and the war, came within five points of the president.
By the time of the Democratic convention that summer, Johnson had dropped out. Bobby Kennedy had entered the fray for all of six weeks before an assassin took his life in a hotel kitchen. Johnson’s milquetoast vice president, Hubert Humphrey, secured the nomination thanks to the profoundly undemocratic nature of the process. Many primaries were non-binding, and political connections ultimately mattered more than the popular vote. For the young people who had gone to the wall for their candidate, the results seemed apocalyptic. As it turned out, the apocalypse decided to wait for a while. Humphrey went on to lose the race to Richard Nixon and history largely ignored him. As Michael A. Cohen argues in his book, “American Maelstrom,” McCarthy actually had a bigger impact on politics than any of the other candidates, Nixon included. McCarthy’s anti-war stance and willingness to question the status quo of American exceptionalism, came to be associated—voluntarily or otherwise— with Democrats for decades to come. For better or worse, policy and principle outlived the politician, and that should provide at least some small measure of
hope for the Bernie-or-Busters who cry inside at the thought of another President Clinton. Clinton may carry the Democratic flag this year, but she does not have to define the party forever. She may well become a bad president, but this country has survived its fair share of those. What this country cannot survive is a generation of young voters who simply give up on the political process. If a fraction of the grassroots enthusiasm for Bernie can be mustered for the local candidates, organizations and communities that deserve it, the revolution will live on. The people who fought for Sanders in the polls, on the streets and at the convention are still here—moreover, so are the ideas for which they fought. Just as McCarthy’s principles escaped his doomed candidacy so too can the loftiest dreams of Bernie’s faithful supporters. American politics has reached a turning point, and it is the responsibility of every voter of every generation to ensure that it turns. All facts not otherwise cited courtesy of Michael A. Cohen’s “American Maelstrom,” which everyone should read.

JOE FORKAN’S PIECE, “The Raft of Medusa,” painted with oil-on-linen material in 2011. “The Raft of Medusa” was originally painted by Théodore Géricault’s in 1818-1819.
‘The Dude’ gets artsy in ‘Lewbowski’ exhibit BY KRISTI RUCKER @DailyWildcat
Multiple buildings wrap around the UA Museum of Art, almost hiding its entrance, but once you find the place and go inside, it is very unassuming. There is a nice little gift shop and lockers to leave your backpacks in. The design of the entryway gives you a small peek into the large gallery space on the ground floor. This visual tease builds interest with a glimpse of what is to come. Almost every room houses a different exhibition, with the institution now exhibiting seven different shows—it’s largest one being a tribute to “The Dude.” The gallery space on the lower lever is currently showing “The Lebowski Cycle” by UA alumn Joe Forkan. The exhibit features large paintings that take a different look at some of the most memorable parts of “The Big Lebowsky” (1998).
Forkan’s use of well-known artworks is fascinating and mimics their compositional arrangements within his own paintings. Each artwork has a label showing the historical painting he used as reference, and his use of color— which shows emotion on the actor’s face within the chosen scenes—is highly noticeable. Forkan’s “The Raft of the Medusa (After Gericault)” (2011) mirrors Théodore Géricault’s “The Raft of the Medusa” (18181819) composition. “The Raft of the Medusa (Afer Gericault)” (2011) pulls the view in to make viewers feel as if they are a part of the action. The asymmetrical balance and use of directional light creates an amazing structure within the painting, while repetition of shape and color through the dancer’s bowling pin hats and the black-and-white tile floor produce rhythm and harmony that hold the viewer’s attention. In “The Lamentation (After Rubens)”
(2011), which duplicates Peter Paul Rubens’ “The Lamentation” (1612), John Goodman’s character is embracing “The Dude” while they pause as they walk down to the beach. The background draws attention to the painting, and Forkan’s use of colors illustrates the rich tones of a beachscape. The neutral hues of the land emphasize the contrast of the vivid blues within the ocean behind the men. The embrace of the two men invites onlookers to continue examining the art— the hug is clearly started by Goodman, and Bridges is not as into it. The next painting that captured my attention was “The Death of Marat (After David)” (2008). The painting consists of a guy passed out floating in a pool with a drink in his hand. The angle of his arm in relation to his body and the bottle he holds creates a dynamic composition. The pool is a mixture of rich, bright blues and purple tones with white, curvy lines the sunlight creates in the water.
Forkan’s use of color makes the figure pop in the cool, smooth water surrounding him. This paint’s arrangement and subject originate from Jacques-Louis David’s “The Death of Marat” (1793). In David’s panting, the main figure is clearly dead, while in Forkan’s art, the figure looks dead, but is implied to be killing himself through his actions, creating an interesting historical connection. The paintings in this exhibition are vivid and stimulating. The connection to historical paintings is a unique, interesting way to look at this cult classic. “The Lebowski Cycle” is on display until Sept. 25. If you have had a hard day studying, teaching or working, this is the best way to relax your mind and rejuvenate your soul. The UA Museum of Art is free for UA students and it has great A.C. You must stop by and see what this great institution has to offer. Come for a few minutes or spend however long you want.

This month on Netflix: ‘Zootopia,’ ‘Narcos,’ ‘Top Gun’ BY ALEC KUEHNLE @ThrowMeAnAllie
If you’re reading this, it’s already too late. The semester has begun, and we students now find ourselves missing those summer days by the pool more than ever. Luckily, there exists a cure for the stress and depression that comes with attending college—binge watching some good ol’ Netflix. Although “Netflix and chill” has started to feel like a somewhat out-dated phrase, Netflix, by no means, feels out-dated. The streaming giant continues to add more and more content each month and September is no different. Next time you feel sick to your stomach with college-osis, check out one of these September Netflix highlights. If you find yourself in the mood for a classic film, Netflix has you set. On Sept. 1, feel free to indulge in Steven Spielberg’s epic war film “Saving Private Ryan” or watch a young Tom Cruise fly around in a plane in “Top Gun.” If those don’t appeal to you, Spielberg’s “Jaws” will also hit the site, as well as the other three “Jaws” movies. The first film is, of course, a classic but by the time you’re watching “Jaws: The Revenge,” you may be drawing parallels to the “Sharknado” film saga. Sept. 2 brings the month’s most highly anticipated Netflix release—season two of the critically acclaimed Netflix original series, “Narcos.” The new season will surely please fans itching to see the next chapter in Pablo Escobar’s life. Let’s just hope season two does the show justice. Just grab all your drug-dealer friends and binge watch the entire season. Remember, kids—it’s better to watch drug dealers on television than to actually become one. Any avid filmgoer knows that 2016 has proven to not exactly be the year for blockbusters, but it surely came through in the animated-family-film department. On Sept. 20, one of the best animated films to grace the silver screen in years will hit Netflix. “Zootopia” tells the story of police officer Judy Hopps, an ambitious smalltown bunny determined to prove herself in the cut-throat city of Zootopia. After
accidentally getting paired up with a fox named Nick Wilde, the two set out to find what exactly keeps making certain animals “go savage.” The film boasts dazzling animation, clever writing and timely messages of inclusivity. This one really does have something for everybody at home to enjoy. Marvel Studios has obviously taken over the big screen with the “Avengers” films and now even more so with the constantly expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has characters fighting crime on the small screen as well. On Sept. 30, fans of Marvel shows like “Daredevil” and “Jessica Jones” will have something to get excited about because that’s when season one of Marvel’s “Luke Cage” will hit Netflix. Fans already got introduced to Luke Cage in the Jessica Jones series, but now the character will officially make a name for himself with his very own show. As long as Netflix keeps ‘em coming, people will keep watching. Netflix has figured this out and they do not appear to show signs of stopping any time soon. Next time you have some free time, just kick back, relax and use Netflix to temporarily drown out your sorrows and forget about the various stresses of college life.
What to watch:
“Top Gun” Sept. 1
PARAMOUNT PICTURES
STILL FROM TOP GUN starring Tom Cruise. “Top Gun” will release on Netflix on Sept. 1.

A LOOK AT THE dessert options served at Cup Quequitos, which is located inside Cafe Poca Cosa. Cup Quequitos serves vegan cupcakes in 134 different flavors.
Cup Quequitos: Vegan cupcakes that actually taste good BY ALDO RUIZ @fayerui
On the corner of East Pennington Street and Sixth Avenue inside Cafe Poca Cosa lies one of the best places to get cake in Tucson— Cup Quequitos, a vegan cupcake paradise, owned and baked by Shanali Davila. With no storefront of its own, you may question if you are even in the right place when you walk through, but getting a cupcake is as easy as asking the hostess, who will delectably describe each of the cupcakes of the day you can purchase. “[One night,] a regular customer asked me to make non-dairy dessert for them because they had an allergy,” Davila said. “It then exploded into more non-dairy desserts. I also thought that there was a need for more nondairy desserts for people with the allergy.” This led Davila to take it one step further and go full vegan with her cupcake concepts. Customers can also choose from soy-free and gluten-free options for a small extra fee when they order cupcakes on Cup Quequitos’ website. Coming in a wide variety of flavors, Cup Quequitos offers something different from the average bakery.
You’d be hard-pressed to find many cupcake places in town that can offer taste experiences similar to those present in Quequitos’ Choco Cinn Mole, Mango Dos Leches and Choco Lavender Almond cupcakes. Beyond the taste factor, each cupcake’s visual design is simple and well-crafted. The quality of the cupcake designs almost makes you feel bad for eating them. “The flavor just pops into my head,” Davila said. “They usually start as food and I try to see if I can turn it into a cake.” Davila also cites her mother, Suzana, the owner/chef of Cafe Poca Cosa, as a big inspiration. Cup Quequitos boasts 134 different cupcakes available for order online, and the bakery will cater a variety of occassions. Since Cup Quequitos has no storefront home, the bakery relies heavily on word of mouth and social media for promoting the business. “Customers who eat here often or people who walk in while doing stuff in the area tell other people,” Davila said. Find Cup Quequitos on Twitter and Facebook, and stop in for a pretty Tucson cupcake experience.

Is 70 mm film all it’s hyped up to be? Following The Loft Cinema’s 70mm Showcase, resident movie nerds Victoria Pereira and Shane Holly go head to head to debate whether the filmmaking style is really all that
BY VICTORIA PEREIRA @vguardie917
70 mm is great In a world of digital media where hundreds upon thousands of movies are available through online streaming, film is often thought of as past its prime. A large percentage of filmmakers today choose to shoot their movies in digital formats due to the lower cost, and most movie theaters in the country thusly project in a digital format. Most films that were shot on celluloid used the industry standard 35 mm film stock, but some filmmakers explored other options. Directors Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins decided to shoot “West Side Story” with 70 mm film when they adapted the famous musical into their 1961 blockbuster. When watching the film at the special 70 mm screenings this past weekend at The Loft Cinema, it was easy to see why the two directors chose the extra-large formatting for their film. A film shot in 70 mm has double the screen space to its advantage and immerses the audience in a way a smaller print size just can’t. It also has a higher potential for detail compared to other more common sizes. The larger a film cell is, the more detail that can be printed onto it—meaning, 70 mm results in brighter colors and a clearer overall picture.

70 mm isn’t all it’s cracked up to be Events like The Loft Cinema’s 70mm Showcase this past weekend are perhaps the only reason to raise the question—to project in film or to project in digital? Well, the funny thing is, it isn’t much of a debate with the industry rapidly converting entire archives of film into digital hard drives every day.

Film stock holds both the picture and sound of a movie, so similar to the improved picture quality, 70 mm film has improved sound in comparison to other formats. Five millimeters of the 70 mm film cell is used solely for sound, meaning that the musical numbers in “West Side Story” are so high-quality it feels like Maria and Tony are singing live on stage rather than on a screen. Larger screen size, improved image resolution and incredible sound quality make it clear: 70 mm is the way to go, especially when watching the Jets and Sharks dance, sing and fall in love on the streets of New York City.
Really, it’s just a relatively small group of connoisseurs and purists that advocate the exclusive use of film in filmmaking—well, that and small art-house theaters that show it as a sort of specialty film experience. The truth is, unless you’re a trained projectionist, there’s a pretty good chance you won’t be able to tell the difference between film and digital projection, let alone the famed 70 mm. So, what then is the draw of 70 mm, “the ultimate film projection,” as the Loft puts it? I have a hunch the answer is much more personal than it is technical. Yes, I will admit that there is indeed an inviting richness to the big-screen experience, especially one that (you’re told) was shot and projected in stunning 70 mm film. But isn’t this a selfish approach to art? Since the introduction of computers and the internet, digital technologies have invaded nearly every aspect of our lives and art is no exception. Now, in this time of tumultuous transition, it stands to reason we might cling to nostalgia as a kind of flotation device on which we can wade through the choppy waters of change, but art doesn’t merely sooth—it challenges, reflects and predicts. Arguably one of the best-shot scenes in recent film and television history was the battle scene in “Game of Thrones” episode “Battle of the Bastards”—a show made by HBO, which is essentially the antithesis of the movie-going experience and has been a longtime pioneer in the digital content movement. Seventy millimeter film on a big screen is spectacular and welcoming for sure, but it shouldn’t be heralded as the ultimate filmgoing projection—especially when that definition changes drastically everyday.

Can Rodriguez get ‘Cats to next level? BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
When Rich Rodriguez took over the Arizona football program, it was considered a great hire. There wasn’t much to lose and both sides had everything to gain. Rodriguez was coming from television but had a very tumultuous couple of years highlighted by not being a “Michigan man” when coaching the Wolverines from 2008 to 2010. Despite that, Rodriguez was viewed around college football as an offensive mastermind and one of the key innovators of the spread offense. His success at Arizona can be viewed in several different ways, but there is no doubt that the Wildcats are in a better place now than five years ago, but is that enough? Upon taking over the Arizona football program, Rodriguez made several statements referring to the atmosphere at Arizona and the mentality required to play for UA. “We need all the support we can get. … I want to win the Rose Bowl, be in the top 10 every year,” Rodriguez said during his introductory news conference on Nov. 22, 2011. “It doesn’t happen without tremendous support.” The support he has received within the Tucson community has been average at best. Attendance in Arizona Stadium averaged 51,393 last season, but that figure is largely skewed. Games against Washington State and Oregon State, as well as the home finale versus Utah, were nowhere near capacity, which is of concern to an athletic program that desperately needs to renovate certain areas of its stadium. Losing that revenue is difficult and other measures tend to be taken to recoup that money. ZonaZoo tickets for students increased and the department started its football marketing campaign earlier than ever this year. Past the lack of support, though, Rodriguez has other things to worry about. To this point, Rodriguez has elevated the program to a point where a 6-6
season is viewed as a disappointment. Last season, the Wildcats were hit hard with the injury bug and limped to 7-6 with yet another New Mexico Bowl victory, the second in Rodriguez’ tenure. Hardly a top-10 finish, though, and certainly not what he hoped for when accepting the position. “We’ve got to take more steps to improve and it starts with recruiting, and I think that is taking place,” Rodriguez said. “Then, obviously, it has to translate to the play on the field. There are always things we need to get better at, including myself, and we’re committed to doing that.” Recruiting—something Arizona fans foam at the mouth for in terms of basketball—has not met expectations when it comes to football. Rodriguez made changes to his staff and brought in Marcel Yates and Donte Williams when defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel was relieved of TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT his duties.

Week one depth chart observations BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports
Arizona football released its depth chart Monday to answer all of the questions except who will receive the nod at quarterback against BYU. The concerns still loom on both sides of the ball in terms of lack of size and depth, especially if the injury bug bites for a second consecutive season. On the flip side, with so many returning
players having legitimate gametime experience and newcomers rising to the top, the Wildcats have potential to mesh together for a memorable season. The man above quarterback Who will be the starting center against BYU? Redshirt sophomore Levi Walton, who played guard last season, was expected to take over the role at center. However, redshirt freshman Nathan Eldridge will takeover and be a part of the starting offensive line.
The aspiring up-and-coming running back Before Ka’Deem Carey evolved into the school’s all-time leading rusher, he came into the program wide-eyed with hopes to see the field. As a freshman, he played behind Keola Antolin and was a key piece of the special teams returning unit. Freshman running back J.J. Taylor hopes to follow the same path as he will understudy Nick Wilson and Orlando Bradford, but is listed as the backup punt

Another position with slim experience is one of the safety positions, which is known as the bandit position. Sophomore Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is a Tucson native that saw the field last season due to a depleted defense, and he will be backed up by 3-star safety Chacho Ulloa.

Arizona looks to rebound at home after winless showing in Honolulu
GAMEDAY GOES BIG
College football is back at the uA, where the game itself is just a part of the party
BY NIKKI BAIM @DailyWildcat
After an unsuccessful weekend in Hawaii, the women’s volleyball team looks to rebound this weekend at home in the Wildcat Classic. The tournament begins Friday at 10 a.m. with Pepperdine facing Southern Methodist University. Following that game, Arizona will host Alabama State at noon. Before they face Alabama State on Friday, Arizona will have a chance to do some scouting at the Pepperdine-SMU game for its upcoming matches. The Wildcats play SMU on Friday at 7 p.m. and Pepperdine on Saturday at 6 p.m. Arizona’s first opponent, the Alabama State Hornets, are an inexperienced team with only seven players returning from last season. With 10 new athletes, four of which are freshman, Alabama State has a record of 1-3 after hosting the ISTAP Collegiate Cup 1 last weekend. SMU should be the toughest opponent in the Wildcat Classic for Arizona. The standing AAC campions are coming into the tournament with a 2-1 record. Their wins came against Montana and Little Rock, both sets of which they swept. SMU’s junior opposite hitter Katie Hegarty is coming off a career high 23-kill match against Little Rock last weekend, earning all-tournament honors. It’ll be the redshirt junior McKenzie Jacobson’s big block that Arizona will rely on to shut down Hegarty. Pepperdine has a 2-1 record following their home tournament last weekend. The Waves are a young team who can find a way to win, so finishing strong is going to be a key focus for Arizona in this match. Although Arizona is still seeking its first win of the season, many positives came from the weekend in Hawaii that should translate to success in the Wildcat Classic. Against No. 4 Wisconsin and No. 6 Hawaii, Arizona dominated early but couldn’t close out the matches. The Wildcats showed their talent by out-blocking and out-hitting their top 10 opponents last weekend, but service and receiving errors contributed to their losses. Arizona has the advantage going into this tournament, having faced the toughest

Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne has one key goal when it comes to Arizona’s football game day experience: Have fun… with everything. “It’s a time when the entire community comes together,” Byrne said of those days each fall when football takes over the UA campus. “We are all sharing the Arizona Wildcats and it’s something where they can watch a great ball game in a good environment.” From Bear Down Fridays, to tailgating the UA Mall, to the Wildcat Walk – and, of course, maybe a big Wildcat win – Byrne is optimistic everyone will be able to find something to do and enjoy. Maybe they’ll even be seen on Arizona Stadium’s massive 5,352 square-foot video board – that’s more than 47 feet wide by 112 feet tall, putting it as one of the 10 largest video display screens in all of college football. “In reality, there are a lot of different reasons why people come to the games,” said Byrne, who is now in his seventh year at the UA. It all starts the day before the game UA VISITOR GUIDE FALL/WINTER 2016
College football is back – and so are the UA campus community’s annual celebratory rites of passage itself; that’s when the public enjoy Bear Down Fridays, a block party in the heart of Main Gate Square, located on University Boulevard near the westernmost entrance to the UA campus. That’s where cheerleaders, the Pride of Arizona Marching Band, UA Pomline and fans join forces for a good time. The event is hosted in part by Arizona’s loudest and proudest supporters – the ZonaZoo, a 12,000-student strong group that gets the party started. “The objective of Bear Down Fridays is to get the students as well as the Tucson community excited for the football game,” said ZonaZoo executive director Kortney Shea Aguilar. “At the event, there are tables where local vendors are able to gain exposure in the community.
“...The event has been very successful in getting everyone excited for the game, providing quality, local entertainment to help the community as a whole feel connected to the event and the university.” Then comes “game day” itself, where one of Byrne’s creations – the Wildcat Walk – has become a hit. Knowing fans would embrace it, he brought it over from his days as athletic director at Mississippi State University – starting a tradition that sees fans line up to greet and motivate the Wildcat players as they embark on foot through the crowds and toward the stadium. “This is something we really felt families would really enjoy being a part of,” Byrne said. “It’s their chance to say ‘hi’ before the game and slap a high-five with them. It’s become a nice tradition at Arizona.” The players appreciate it. Former UA linebacker Jake Fischer experienced the five-minute walk on Cherry Avenue from University Boulevard. “It was a great feeling,” said Fischer, a native of nearby Oro Valley, of going through the line where thousands of fans line up to greet
and encourage players. “Everybody is there to support you. The music was awesome. There are kids who you are a role model for asking for gloves and giving high fives. It was like you and the Tucson community were getting ready to go to battle. It’s not just the team, but the entire community.” The fans, of course, come from the tailgating area where the party has already started. At least 324 tailgating spaces are sold – more for some bigger, high-profile games – where fans mingle, eat, drink and party in preparation for the big game. “When we tailgated our first game we showed up right at the start of the tailgate and we were the second people to arrive,” said longtime fan Chaz Elsten, whose tailgate is called “The Red Army” and is now in year 15. “Now for a game, we get there six to eight hours before the actual tailgate starts. We would have maybe eight to 12 people there. But now we have anywhere from 75 to 100 people.” They are part of the thousands who enjoy all parts of the pregame festivities like the Fan Fiesta, set just west of the tailgating area. It’s a family-friendly environment with food, a bounce house, ball toss and a place where game sponsors have giveaways. “It’s for the fan who wants to enjoy the outdoor tailgating scene and who doesn’t have a tailgate to go to,”
said Ben Chulick, the UA’s assistant athletic director for marketing. “But it gives them a chance to get in the atmosphere before the game.” The party doesn’t stop once you get into Arizona Stadium. In fact, the party just gets brighter (and louder) with the video board set on blast. “It’s obviously a big attention grabber,” Chulick said. “You can’t help but see it. A lot of people like to see themselves on the board. People act crazy and that’s contagious behavior.” Then, of course, there’s the music, which “drives the energy of the stadium,” he said. And gone are the days when things used to be scripted on what was played. Now, it’s all about being impromptu and unpredictable … kind of like head football coach Rich Rodriguez’s no-huddle offense. “We will go with high-energy music and something engaging like the dance cam,” Chulick said. “We’re trying to provide the best atmosphere for the fans and for the players. They feed off the energy and we want to maximize that.” From (below) pregame tailgating to the (left) fan-friendly Wildcat Walk, to (facing) a rousing fireworks display just before kickoff in Arizona Stadium, the game day experience at the uA continues to be action-packed.
