Sometimes, first isn’t always best — or right journalism in general. Because of that, we want you to know that, just like every student on campus, we sometimes fall short of our lofty goals. However, we will continue to take the lessons inherent in our mistakes and learn from them. We will grow as individuals and as an institution so as to better serve you. In a time of media distrust, we wanted to be transparent and honest with you, our readers, about why we made that series of choices to post, then remove, the video. Only by owning up to mistakes can we hope to retain your trust. As a publcation, we certainly value speed, but we place a higher value on the truth in its proper context. In the future, our choices will reflect that commitment more closely.

ere at the Daily Wildcat, we like to pride ourselves on not just getting you, our readers, the most up-to-date and important news happening on campus, but also our ability to bring those stories to you before anyone else. Sometimes, though, we make mistakes. One of those mistakes occurred last Friday, Aug. 31. A week earlier, a member of the University of Arizona’s men’s basketball team, sophomore forward Ira Lee, was pulled over for a traffic infraction. That stop would lead to charges against Lee, including a pending super-extreme DUI. As we went about requesting documentation from the University of Arizona Police Department, we noticed among the myriad of paperwork that the officer who pulled Lee over that night was wearing a body camera. We subsequently requested any video recorded from Lee’s traffic stop and obtained it last Friday. The video is noteworthy for two reasons: first, it confirms police and media accounts of what happened. Second, it shows a mostly cordial conversation
between an obviously nervous young man who had just lost his grandmother and a police officer just looking to do his job. However, in our rush to be first to report and make the video public, we neglected the two most important questions to ask before running any story: is it newsworthy, and are we minimizing harm to those invovled? While the video does contain moments of pathos and drama, none of it advanced or added to a story that had already been reported. There was no journalistically justifiable reason to publish the video. In our rush to be first, we were blinded to what was right. That’s why, after posting an edited version of the video for an hour on our social media accounts Friday night, we took the content down. Still, there are those who are owed apologies. To Mr. Lee, we wholeheartedly apologize. We failed to take into account the impact and reach we posses as a news organ, and Mr. Lee’s reputation could have potentially been damaged. To the UA Athletics Department and UAPD, we want you to know we will use information gleaned from records and documents in the best of faith. And to you, our readers, we know that incidents like this test your trust, not just in the Daily Wildcat, but in

NEWS | ACADEMIC FREEDOM
Prof takes heat for controversial funding BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
The scene is Newark, Delaware, circa 1992. After a prolonged legal battle, the University of Delaware allows two professors to accept funding from the Pioneer Fund to examine the relationship between race and intelligence over the protests of faculty and students. That was 1992. Fast forward to 2018, and the Pioneer Fund’s support of university research has dramatically declined. Once supporting faculty studies at over a dozen domestic universities, the fund’s sole remaining grant recipient resides at the University of Arizona. Aurelio José Figueredo, a professor of psychology at the UA, was approached by the Pioneer Fund in the early 2000s after the federal government declined to fund his research into life history strategies. Figueredo’s primary source of funding has come from the fund ever since. The Pioneer Fund remains a controversial organization, having funded a number of white nationalist groups over the years. The research of Dr. Figueredo does not examine race and intelligence, as in the case of the University of Delaware, but his acceptance of the group’s funding has similarly sparked criticism from faculty and students.
countries from Australia and Singapore to Spain and Costa Rica. Figueredo primarily studies what he describes as homogenous cultures and has yet to translate his research to multicultural communities. Eugenics and the Pioneer Fund The Pioneer Fund was founded in 1937 by Wickliffe Draper, who made his fortune in textile manufacturing. The fund’s original mission was to promote eugenics, or the restriction of certain humans’ reproduction — specifically to encourage the growth of the white race, according to their early incorporation documents — to weed out perceived unfavorable characteristics thought to be linked to heredity. Since its creation, the Pioneer Fund has funded controversial studies by over 40 researchers and has awarded grants to a number of white nationalist groups, including an organization associated with Richard Spencer, the infamous alt-right personality, according to tax filings obtained by the Associated Press. In terms of American history, the Pioneer Fund is not unique. In its 1927 decision in Buck v. Bell, the United States Supreme Court infamously ruled that forcibly sterilizing individuals with
campaigns that disproportionately targeted non-whites, was widespread in the United States before World War II. After the rise of the Nazis in Germany, and their close association and support of scientific research into eugenics, the field lost credibility and acceptance in the United States, except in far-right political circles, but eugenics polices continued to be applied into the late 1970s, according to Vetter. “Although some geneticists and other scientists have continued to undertake research that might have fit into ‘eugenics’ in an earlier era, they typically would not want to have their research characterized this way in the post-World War II era or to argue in support of more extreme policy responses in terms of government intervention,” Vetter said.
The politics of research Figueredo said he does not support eugenics and has written such in the past. According to Figueredo, the Pioneer Fund has never interfered in his research or asked him to pursue specific results or alter his data. To Figueredo’s knowledge, the fund has never used his research to advance racist or eugenics agendas. Figueredo himself said he shies away from politics. “My research is not inherently political. I do basic Life history strategies scientific research and do not believe I know enough to Figueredo began his academic career in the graduate make any political recommendations,” Figueredo said. program at the University of California, Riverside studying Whenever a researcher studies human behavior comparative psychology, which at the time focused on from an evolutionary point of view, there is the studying animal behavior and developing theories to describe possibility that other individuals could attempt to translate observed human behavior. those findings to support something negative like the After graduating Figueredo began his ongoing 31ideology of eugenics, according to Lee Ryan, department year tenure at the UA in the Department of Psychology, head of psychology at the UA. researching in the relatively new field of evolutionary “Science occurs in a societal and ideological context, and psychology. the same data can be used in both positive and negative ways Figueredo’s primary area of study has been life depending on individual interpretations,” Ryan said. history strategies. In Ryan’s opinion, Figueredo’s work has been “Life history strategies are arrayed on a continuum independent and highly respected in his field and is not from slow to fast,” Figueredo said. “A prime example fueling racist or eugenic points of view. of an organism with a fast history strategy would be the With this consideration, the question at hand does rabbit.

NEWS | FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
National experts talk free speech on campus BY JANELLE ASH @janelleashxx
Free speech, a right provided by the first amendment, is granted and encouraged on the University of Arizona campus. To teach students how to exercise this right, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences is presenting “The Haury Conversation on Campus Free Speech” on Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 5:30 p.m., in the North and South Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center. The conversation will consist of a panel of some of the most respected voices on the topic of free speech: Noam Chomsky, a UA professor and an advocate for free speech; Nadine Strossen, a practicing lawyer and former president of the American Civil Liberties Union and, concluding the panel, Sigal Ben-Porath, famed author of “Free Speech on Campus.” Kathy Adams Riester, an Associate COURTESY COLLEGE OF SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES Dean of Students, deals with a large LINGUISTICS PROFESSOR NOAM CHOMSKY will be a featured speaker at the College of Social and Behavioral portion of the first amendment rights Sciences’ “The Haury Conversation on Campus Free Speech,” presented Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 5:30 p.m. in the of students on campus and said North and South Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center. she thinks it’s important students understand what rights they have.

Figueredo has yet to decide whether or not to apply for further funding from the Pioneer Fund for the next calendar year. Academic freedom and the UA Not everyone feels the way Figueredo does about accepting research funding from an organization like the Pioneer Fund. “Speaking for myself, I would not accept money from this organization,” said Jessica Summers, UA’s faculty chair and an associate professor of teaching, learning
and sociocultural studies. “I don’t want the UA promoting the Pioneer Fund. The kind of work that is associated with them is antithetical to our values, particularly as a Hispanic-Serving Institution.” The UA cannot prevent faculty from seeking funding from specific sources due to the principles of academic freedom, according to Shaun Esposito, chair of the committee on academic freedom and tenure membership and head of public services of the Law Library. “At its ideal, academic freedom allows faculty to challenge the standard ideas of their discipline and an outright ban on a specific funding source would be
problematic,” Esposito said. According to Esposito, academic freedom has its limitations but it does not allow the UA to discriminate against the viewpoints of faculty or their funding sources within reason as long as the integrity of the research is not at stake. Summers said she fully supports the academic freedom of faculty at UA. In Summers’ opinion, though, the UA has benefited from the $458,000 accepted from the Pioneer Fund at the university since 2003 and believes the UA must take a political stand. Summers called on the UA to refuse to collect a percentage of grant funds received
as we see everyday on the mall from different groups.” PPEL junior Macy Birmingham has also witnessed her first amendment rights being protected by the UA. “The UA does a really good job protecting our first amendment rights because they let us peacefully protest/ speak on our views,” Birmingham said. “Brother Dean, religious people and LGBTQ all get to have the equal right to speak on campus and make clubs. In actual classes, professors give students an equal chance to speak about how they feel on politics, religious freedoms and freedom of speech.” Topics that will be touched on during the conversation include: why free speech has been so debatable in the past few years and how students can play a role in lowering the animosity seen on college campuses. “My hope would be that this event would help increase student’s understanding of how the first amendment works at public universities like the University of Arizona,” Riester said. While free tickets for this event were available on chomsky.arizona.edu, the event is currently sold out. The first amendment discussion will continue at the Constitutional Coffee Chat hosted by the Dean of Students Office on Sept. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the UA Mall to help further educate students on the boundaries of their first amendment rights on campus. Faculty from the office as well as University of Arizona Police Department officers will also be handing out pocket-sized Constitutions and coffee, while talking to people about free speech at the UA.
from the Pioneer Fund, as they would normally do with other grants to support university facilities and other researchrelated activities. Chris Sigurdson, vice president of communications at the UA, said he believes it is paramount for the university to respect the academic freedom of faculty and to support faculty, thereby creating an environment conducive to scholarship. “Professors seek research funds from a variety of sources. The university does not typically restrict the source of outside funds, but focuses on protecting open, free and competent academic inquiry,” Sigurdson said.

ASUA notebook: Plans to improve campus BY RANDALL ECK, LAUREN ALBRECHT, GWEN SPENCER @reck999, @laurenkalbrecht, @ gwenspencer11
After the calm of “Sylly Week,” the Associated Students of the University of Arizona brainstormed improvements for all areas of campus, from campus clothing drives to student involvement in the fine arts, during their first formal senate meeting Wednesday night. Guest speakers grant insight to on-campus opportunities Hannah Picknell, campus organizer for the New Voters Project of Arizona PIRG Students, spoke about her role in registering students to vote. “Our goal is to register at least 2,000 students to vote,” she said. To complete their goals, she mentioned that they aspire to get tables out to the UA Mall and present their platform. Jeffrey Jones spoke on behalf of University Information Technology Services to discuss the low turnout of students utilizing the program before the deadline. He noted that the deadline for setting up the program is coming soon, and students may not be able to access and turn in their work like they have been able to previously. “Passwords need to be secure, and we need your help to get more people enrolled,” he said. “Cut off dates are coming up very soon … September 24 is the deadline

mine, hers, missing? Multiple residents of Coronado Residence Hall have reported seeing a mystery man roaming the halls, and some suspect him of being behind the recent theft of a gold Hermès bracelet. Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were called to the scene of the crime on Aug. 28 at approximately 11:15 p.m. There they met by two female roomates who were interviewed separately by the officers. The first woman told the officer that she almost always locks her door every time she leaves her room. However, on this night, she left it open when she and her roommate left. When another friend warned them
for graduate and professional students; October 1 for sophomores, juniors and seniors and October 8 is freshmen.” Teach for America recruitment manager Corey Herdegen also demonstrated her program for the senate, noting the importance of high quality education, especially at public schools in at-risk communities. One goal of Teach for America is to direct more state funding towards public school education. “Our goal is to help end educational inequity,” Herdegen said. “Opportunity is not equally distributed in this country, but potential is.” Applications for Teach for America are due on Sept. 14. New ideas to expand community within ASUA Senator Madeline Melichar has expressed interest in acquiring business cards for members of the senate to not only expand their campaign, but also to support other clubs, sports and organizations. Everyone agreed on the proposal, and business cards will be made. Additionally, senator Katie Christopher is taking the opportunity to apply herself to a new organization similar to UA Campus Pantry: the Campus Closet. “I definitely believe it would be a great opportunity to have [ASUA] work on it,” she said.
that there was a thief somewhere in the hall, they quickly returned to their suite, only to discover that a bracelet was missing. The bracelet in question was described as an Hermès Clic Clac yellow gold bangle with a white band around it valued at $600. Both women would describe the bracelet as belonging to them. The bracelet was labeled as belonging to the second woman in the police report. The first woman told the officer that she suspected it was an unknown man who had been trying to get inside their room the night before, claiming to be in need of a phone charger. Her roommate shut the door on him. The officer then spoke with another Coronado resident who told him that she had spotted a man on the fourth floor that day, saying he was looking for a phone charger. The resident said she felt this was suspicious and she believes he was truly there to scope out rooms. Along with the officer, the resident was allowed to review surveillance footage in an attempt to identify the mystery man seen earlier that day. The
She split up the roles for senators to apply for positions and help with the clothing drive. This includes outreach, fundraising, logistics, marketing/social media and volunteer coordinating. Christopher identified the purpose of the Campus Closet as something students can reach out for in a time of need, especially in job interviews. “Sometimes people don’t have the money to afford clothes for interviews. They’re trying to get a job and trying to get money, but they are limited with [what they have to wear].” The process of making change Last week, ASUA discussed new ways to implement and provide for different departments on campus. Senator Brennen Feder wants to offer more resources to possible incoming students of the university by “offering our resources to them as future Wildcats.” Feder also met with the dean at the College of Education to increase resources for off-campus teaching students. Senator Tara Singleton plans to continue working with Students for Sustainability in getting its goals accomplished.
footage did reveal a man in the hall during the same time frame. The resident led the officer to a room that she initially said might be the room where the man resided but then admitted she could not be sure. However, another female resident of that hallway told the officer that she had also seen a man asking for a phone charger earlier that night. She had invited him into her room where they hung out but could no longer remember his name. Meanwhile the other officer interviewed the second roomate, who gave a similar account of leaving the door unlocked and returning to find the bracelet missing. During this interview, another woman approached the officer and told her that her roommate was dating a man who lived in the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall who claimed that he liked to rob people. This woman knew of a previous incident in which he attempted to steal a wallet from another Coronado resident. She showed the officer a picture of the man from his Instagram, but the
officer had no way to verify that this was the thief. The officers then regrouped and made contact with the man the previous woman had warned about. He told them that he had not been on the fourth floor of Coronado that night and had not stolen anything. Due to a lack of evidence against him, the officer asked the man no further questions. Both roomates told the officers that they wished to seek criminal charges should any suspect be identified. The officers provided them with victim’s rights forms and then left. Later that evening, at around 3 a.m., the women contacted one of the officers on his phone. The women told the officer that they had tracked down the mystery man — the same man the officers had spoken to earlier in the evening. Together, the two women had confronted him in his room. He denied stealing the bracelet, and, when let into his room, the women could not find any evidence that it was him.

3 Nutrition Tips Social Media Got Wrong “Good news travels fast, but bad news travels faster.” Fast, furious and false diet tips seen on social media often leave dietitians in a myth-busting tailspin! Here are three common nutrition tips social media has gotten wrong.
Detox diets
Typing “detox diet” into any search engine leads to over 100 million results for treatments that “flush out toxins,” “reboot,” and “cleanse” organs to kickstart a healthier, slimmer you. Typically promoted by celebrities and so-called health experts, this deprivation diet approach has mere testimony to back its hype. The good news is that our gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys are naturally designed to detox our bodies! Weight loss from detox diets is likely, especially when you give up sugar, alcohol, caffeine, highly-processed foods, and start drinking more water, eating fruits and vegetables and exercise... or basically take better care of yourself.
Weight gain from eating late
Late-night eating has a bad reputation because foods typically eaten at this time are high in calories from fat and/or sugar. Ice cream, drive-through burritos, and delivery pizza are classic after hour
noshes that can contribute to weight gain no matter what time they’re eaten! Weight gain is most likely when total daily calorie intake exceeds what is burned off. Research suggests that many people consume half of their daily calories in the evening, which is also the time we’re most inactive. Main message: Space out calories evenly through the day and when you are most active.
Sugar substitutes are bad for health
Some of the most studied and reviewed food ingredients in the world are the six sugar substitutes (artificial sweeteners) that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved and regulate. These sweeteners add zero to few calories to foods and drinks and because they’re at least 100 times sweeter than regular sugar, a little adds a lot of flavor! They’ve passed thorough assessments and can be safely consumed by the general population, including people with diabetes, pregnant women, and children. One exception is people who have a hereditary condition called phenylketonuria (PKU), which means they cannot metabolize a component of aspartame (Equal®). For more info, check out www.fda.gov/food.

Sumlin’s ‘new era’ debut ruined by Cougars BY ALEC WHITE @AlecWhite_UA
Sept. 1, 2018 was supposed to be the coronation of Arizona football’s “New Era”. The opening game versus BYU would introduce the world to the Kevin Sumlin and Khalil Tate duo that could eventually catapult Arizona into the Pac-12 Conference South Division race. However, neither Sumlin nor his Wildcats could deliver a performance for the 51,002 fans on hand to remember as the Cougars won 28-23 and spoiled one of Arizona’s most hyped-up season openers this decade. New era, same ol’ Wildcats — at least for now. The season wasn’t even six minutes old when one of Arizona’s biggest struggles from a year ago reared its ugly head. After Tate started the opening drive 6 of 7 passing and got UA into field goal range, BYU blocked Lucas Havrisik’s 43yard field goal attempt. Arizona didn’t score its first touchdown of the year until 0:50 remaining in the first half. The same offense that averaged 41 points and nearly 500 yards per game in 2017 had four 3-and-outs against BYU. Offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone called plays that kept last year’s NCAA
leader in yards-per-carry in the pocket. Whether that was the intention or not, Tate struggled to find his rhythm, completing just 17 of 34 passes for 197 yards and rushing for just 14 yards. “I think we came out kind of flat,” Tate said. “Every team has that factor sometimes.” For a team that had been waiting all summer to announce its return to the national spotlight, there should be no reason why they came out flat. Yet, it happened anyway, and BYU took advantage of it, particularly in the third quarter when the Cougars outscored the Wildcats 21-0. Arizona made it interesting in the fourth with a pair of touchdowns, but BYU picked up timely first downs and sealed the ‘Cats’ fate. “Even if we had a comeback there and won the game, we still got issues. We have to address those issues honestly as a coaching staff and honestly as a team,” Sumlin said. The inevitable criticism will be directed at the offense, and deservedly so, but the defense also remains a work in progress. Marcel Yates’ unit allowed nearly 400 yards of offense to a team that averaged 325 per game in 2017, not optimal for a group that prided itself on how much it

improved in the offseason. The major renovations to Arizona Stadium, the new “Fan Experience” additions and an increase in seasonticket holders by 6,000 were all meant to compliment the arrival of Sumlin. Instead, they were side pieces, not yet fully enjoyed as the main event soured as the game went on.
A week-one loss doesn’t mean Sumlin’s first year is headed for the sewers. There’s time to assess the most important changes that need to be made. It just means that Sumlin’s team might need some more time before it can be taken seriously as a Pac-12 contender.
Analysis: BYU (and Arizona) contain Tate in opener ANALYSIS
BY DAVID SKINNER @davidwskinner_
What was considered by most to be the strongest link in Arizona football’s armor, the Wildcat offense, looked like Arizona’s weakest unit on Saturday night against BYU. The group is headlined by preseason Heisman-hopeful Khalil Tate and was one that was assesed before the opening kickoff as the foundation that head coach Kevin Sumlin and his staff were going to build their new program on. If that’s the case, the Wildcat staff needs to pour some more concrete. The offensive machine that was supposed to keep the ‘Cats competitive in games did the exact opposite on the opening night at Arizona Stadium. The offense spent the majority of the night sputtering and stalling out, never gaining momentum and failing to deliver on the excitement of new beginnings with their new, offensive-minded head coach.
The success Kevin Sumlin has had with quarterbacks in the past is overstated, with QBs like Case Keenum and Johnny Manziel being the first to come to mind. With his past track record, many Wildcats fans and casual college football fans have come to expect Khalil Tate to be molded into a similar image to Johnny Football. Instead, Tate looked like a lesser version of Keenum, forced to sit in the pocket and rely almost entirely on his arm to inflict damage on the Cougars. Rarely using his legs to make plays, such as the type that helped him burst onto the national scene in just a few games last year, he finished with an anemic 14 yards rushing on eight attempts with a score, while finishing 17-34 through the air for just 197 yards and a score. In his postgame press conference, Tate answered questions about his 34 passes, which is just one less than his career high. “Part of being a quarterback is throwing the ball, so, that’s just something that I have to do,” said the visibly frustrated Tate. The frustration wasn’t just limited to the post-game, as the star quarterback and the offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone were

spotted by TV cameras in the middle of a shouting match during the second quarter. “It was probably something about getting on the field and moving the ball and putting our team in the best situation to get points,” said Tate. There is nothing wrong with developing Tate as a thrower or helping him to be a better all-around quarterback, but where is the line of forcing him to do too much too quickly? Tate’s greatest asset as a football player is his running ability. To cut it completely out of his repertoire in order to forcefully develop him as a pocket-passer seems like a rash decision for a quarterback that started less than half of the games last year. All while getting used to the extra weight of expectation that has been hoisted upon his teenage shoulders. Arizona and its new coaching staff are relying on the dynamic quarterback to lead their team by doing things that aren’t his strengths (yet), and the results were exactly what could have been predicted. Arizona’s plan of keeping Tate in the pocket played right into the hands of BYU, who preferred the fleet-footed quarterback to

stay planted behind his offensive linemen, forcing him to make tough throws in tougher situations. “I just want to win football games,” Tate said when asked if he wanted to run more than he did. The short and sweet answers Tate delivered mirrored his yards-per-carry, as the quarterback stiff armed any questions regarding game plan or offensive scheme. For a team that has led their conference the last two seasons in rushing, the Wildcats went as far away from their bread and butter as one coaching staff can let it. The depleted offensive line might have had to do something with this strategy, and BYU’s elderly defense deserves a hat tip as they did as good of a job containing Tate as anyone has. Still, it’s hard to walk away from this opening season loss with anything other than a terrible taste in one’s mouth. The perfect opportunity to start the Sumlin era off on the right foot ended with a game that left more questions than answers regarding this football program. This program is controlled by Sumlin, but the team goes wherever Tate goes. If Tate continues to be pigeonholed in the pocket, this Arizona team will certainly have more nights like they did Saturday.

ARTS & LIFE | MARCHING BAND
Band takes UA ‘pride’ to new levels BY MIA HERRERA @DailyWildcat
Over 250 students in the Pride of Arizona assemble on and off the football field to show students that they shouldn’t feel alone in their journey through college. With its award-winning Pom Line, “cheerful” team of color guards and “powerful” marching band, the Pride of Arizona creates the ideal blend of audio and visual entertainment, according to Chad Shoopman, director of the Pride of Arizona marching band. Shoopman is beginning his third year as director. Since the start of his career, he has focused on teaching his students not just music but also community values and significant life lessons. He said he aims to convey the message of togetherness to all students at the first football game of the 2018 season and throughout the year. “I find that many students talk about anxiety and being without selfconfidence,” Shoopman said. “This is our way of saying you are not alone. You have a mirror in this world [through us].” To demonstrate this, the Pride will perform a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors” as its first half-time show. It will perform the rest of its set throughout the season. “There is always an inner lesson that we teach as a band … One of them is that there is somebody in this band that has walked your path,” Shoopman said. “Having that reflection, someone that you can look at and turn to, that is what we build on.” His interpretation of Timberlake’s “Mirrors” will be reflected in the visuals of the performance. This would all be impossible, however, without the devoted student members of the band, according to Shoopman, who all trained “vigorously” in summer Band Camp to bring that vision to life. “We recruit about 110 freshmen, 75 sophomores, 40 juniors and 40 seniors across 60 different majors. Because we are so diverse, we hope each member’s experience with POA educates, elevates and enriches them so that they learn how different people think and work,” Shoopman said. Recruitment begins with registration on the Pride of Arizona’s website, followed by auditions. A variety of openings are available to
students each year. There are roughly 24 slots open for Pom Line, 20 to 30 for Color Guard and 29 for Drumline, according to Shoopman. Openings for wind instruments are split into different sections and dependent upon the demands of the band. POA performs not only at football games but also at UA presidential events and band competitions, such as UA Band Day. The team commences their training with events such as Band Camp two weeks prior to the start of fall classes. “One thing I love about training is that everyone is held to the same standard. Whether you’re a fifth-year senior or rookie, you’re expected to play and march at the same level,” said Thomas Gonzalez, assistant director of marching percussion. Training continues throughout the semester on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Members are expected to dedicate 12 hours per week to rehearsal and training to ensure quality performances. Auxiliary and instrument sections initially train separately, coming together to rehearse later on. According to Anthony Hand, a senior studying music education and a former four-year member of POA, “the rigorous work is rewarded with performing at Band Day, Battle of the Bands (UA vs. ASU), high school exhibitions and bowl games.” Members that annually renew their membership with the band have the opportunity to audition for leadership positions as section leaders. “Leadership positions open every year and the reason students take them on is because it is always about the group,” Shoopman said. “We recruit leaders that want to give back in a positive way.” Section leaders direct the rehearsal within their segment of assigned members and supervise marching band equipment. According to Shoopman, the leadership positions in UA’s band provide students with the managerial skills that employers look for. The Pride of Arizona offers a variety of opportunities in music and a sense of community to its members. According to Gonzalez, “being a part of [POA] has such a profound effect on your college career and being able to start your first day of classes with 250 friends makes the transition from high school to college much easier.”

UA Pom Line spreads campus cheer BY BRIANNON WILFONG @BriannonWilfong
The members of the University of Arizona Pom Line show the community and students their passion for dancing and cheering for their school by bringing as much school spirit as possible to any place they go. With the arrival of football season, the Pom Line has been hard at work since early August, learning new routines and working with the Pride of Arizona marching band, according to Adrienne Robertson, head coach of the Arizona Pom Line. The UA Pom Line has a team of well-rounded dancers, with each of the members having been carefully selected. The team is currently made up of 25 women representing many states across the U.S. and diverse backgrounds, according to Robertson. Auditioning for the team is a “very rigorous” process, according to Robertson. Women from across the nation come to Arizona to audition for a spot. Auditions are held in the spring each year, usually in April, Robertson said, and anyone interested in becoming a Pom Line dancer can find out about the auditions on social media. The auditions are a two-day process. On the first day, the women go across the dance floor and perform a combination, which might include turns and dance techniques, showing strengths as well as stage presence. At the end of day one, they will also learn a jazz-style dance routine and will have until the next day of auditions to review the choreography, Robertson said. “During auditions we are looking for a dancer that is the overall total package — somebody that is just equally as great of a technical dancer as well as their showmanship and performance ability,” Robertson said. “They also have to retain choreography very quickly.” The second day of auditions, the women learn a pom routine taught by a captain on the squad. The women are judged on how quickly they can pick up choreography and all-around stage presence. After four rounds of cuts, the pom squad is trimmed down to about 30 women, all of whom will participate in interviews to allow coaches to get to know them on a more personal level. The team is announced from there, narrowing down about 100 prospective dancers to 25 women for the year’s squad. The UA Pom Line practices Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, twice a day. Its afternoon practices consist of practicing alongside the band to perfect any choreography with the live

music and to practice their steps on the field, according to Chandi McCright, a senior captain on the UA Pom Line. The UA Pom Line is also preparing for the football season with intense practices, according to McCright. The pom dancers are required to memorize up to 30 dances. Practices consist of running through the choreography, while coaches make sure all the dancers look unified and synchronized, according to McCright. The pom team is also involved with community and charity events throughout Tucson. It makes appearances at Bear Down Friday pep rallies, performing and cheering along with the students on University Boulevard. Many of these appearances or performances are televised by local news stations, according to Robertson. “We usually do a couple different annual appearances. We do a lot of local charity walks,” Robertson said. “We’ve also done a ton of different performances. We did the Superbowl with Katy Perry a few years ago in Phoenix. There’re just so many different appearances that we do all around Southern Arizona.” The team said they also look forward to traveling to Florida every year to attend UDA Nationals, a highly competitive competition with other major university pom teams where the team is able to show off what routines and techniques it has been working on during practices. One improvement the Pom Line hopes to make to its routine for the upcoming season is tricks. “This season we are working on more tricks. At United Dance Association Nationals, they are really big on standing out,” McCright said. “What makes you stand out are all those cool tricks like aerials, front and back walk-overs.” The pom team is a “tight-knit team”, forming close friendships with teammates and creating lifelong memories, according to Ellie Schroer, co-captain on the UA Pom Line. “[It’s] nothing short of amazing. It’s truly a blessing to get to dance in such big stadiums with thousands of people watching you,” Schroer said. “It’s just exhilarating every time I step out and dance on the field or basketball court.” The UA Pom Line coach and captains said they are looking forward to the performances in the upcoming sports seasons, which include halftime performances during both football and basketball season as well as media timeouts, according to Robertson. The squad will also be performing at an Arizona Diamondbacks game in Phoenix on September 6.

OPINION | PRIMARIES
Arizona to elect its first female senator, but gender equality remains an issue COLUMNIST ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
A
rizona has officially opened its 2018 midterm election campaign with a historic, all-female Senate race between Democratic candidate Kyrsten Sinema and Republican candidate, and Pima county’s own U.S. House Representative, Martha McSally. Both candidates received their nominations handily, with Sinema taking over 80 percent of the primary vote and McSally emerging with 53 percent of the vote against runner-up Kelli Ward and the controversial ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio, according to the New York Times. McSally was able to beat out the two antiestablishment candidates by appealing to Arizonans as the most electable candidate who could face off against what many Republicans are worried could be a “blue wave” — especially in a state Donald Trump only won by 3.57 percent. The closeness of the election in 2016 compared to Mitt Romney in 2012 has inspired many to look at Arizona’s changing demographics to predict what 2018 will bring to our state government, especially when you consider that Romney carried Arizona by 9 percentage points and the late John McCain by 8.5 percent. The last election Democrats carried the state was in 1996, when President Clinton was able to beat out Bob Dole by only 2.22 percentage points, ending what has been otherwise an unwavering support for whoever the Republican Party has fielded since 1952. And while the politics in Arizona have long been static and reliably conservative, in the late 1980s
the Democrat Rose Mofford made waves when she was elevated into the governor’s mansion after her predecessor was impeached for obstruction of justice and misuse of government funds. Her governorship would make Arizona one of three states that had a female governor at the time in the 1980s, and she would be followed by Jane Dee Hull, Janet Napolitano and Jan Brewer (all three of whom would serve backto-back).
of the highest number of women to serve as governor in the entire country, at total of four serving for a combined 21 years. Arizona is also unique for having three separate women serve as governors consecutively from 1997 until Doug Ducey took office in 2015. Additionally, The Arizona Republic reported in 2017 that the Arizona State House and Senate were at all-time highs of female representation, saying that “of the 30 state senators, 14 are women and, of the 60 state representatives, 22 are women”. This percentage has only been met by three other states (Colorado, Vermont and Washington) and only exceeded by Colorado, which was at “42 percent in 2015 and 2016”. But not everything in Arizona is as it seems. Despite boasting one of the most gender-balanced state legislatures in the nation, Arizona rejected attempts to even call a vote on the Equal Rights Amendment back in April, which would attempt to end gender discrimination in the state that WalletHub said ranked 47th in the nation for gender equality, with especially low rankings in both education and health. If Arizona wants to lead the pack on gender equality in the country, we have to start pushing for ending the gap between the income of men and women and especially begin prioritizing MARTHA MCSALLY KYRSTEN SINEMA education, not just at the college level, but also pre-kindergarten programs that encourage success Arizona has had a very interesting and sometimes and help students of both genders learn skills to awkward relationship with its female legislators, as the advance further younger. According to Phoenix Stats, Grand Canyon State has never had a woman represent Arizona is the 18th lowest in percentage of 3-4 year it in the Senate in the 106 years it has been sending olds enrolled in a state pre-kindergarten program at senators to Washington. Now that Martha McSally only 4.2 percent. If our state legislatures start investing and Kyrsten Sinema have both won the nominations more into its youth and students, Arizona will begin for their respective parties, it seems like that trend is to feel real concrete change over the coming years about to finally reach its conclusion and will remove towards greater gender equality.

UA alumna hosts new show on Food Network BY SHARON ESSIEN @SharonshareB
A passion for storytelling, food and writing led a University of Arizona alumna to host her own show on the Food Network. UA 2006 graduate Brandi Milloy’s new show “Let’s Eat” is about easy, fun, delicious recipes that anyone can make. Milloy co-hosts the show with professional chefs Stuart O’Keefe and Jamika Pessoa. The recipes featured on the show originate as dishes that the three hosts make for their family and friends, according to Milloy. Cooking tips and hacks are incorporated throughout the show, allowing viewers to easily follow along and replicate the recipes at home. Milloy is a self-taught cook and mentioned that she is constantly learning from her co-hosts. “What I bring to the table is my foodtrend expertise and the experience in recreating viral foods seen all over social media,” Milloy said. “We balance each
other out, and we believe that the people will enjoy seeing that our relationship with each other is genuine and playful.” Milloy’s love of writing and food developed a young age. “I have always had a passion of food and my father was in the army and we moved around for a couple of years which allowed me to try a variety of cuisines,” Milloy said. “Being able to incorporate my passion for writing, journalistic mindset, plus a love for food [into] an occupation is a dream come true.” While at the UA, Milloy earned degrees in both English and journalism and later interned at KVOA, a television station in Tucson. “Writing a story, putting it together, reading from a teleprompter and learning how to connect with people were all skills that I learned at the U of A,” Milloy said. “These are experiences and traits that I take everywhere I go.” Milloy views herself as a journalist first and a host second, reasoning that the art of storytelling really underscores both roles.
“When it comes to journalism, you need to be able to be a storyteller, connect with people and be an active listener,” Milloy said. “You should really try to be in the moment and listen to what the interviewer is asking you and listen to what your guest is saying so that you can naturally respond and allow the viewers at home to understand the overall message.” Milloy says that after years of auditioning, contributing and writing, to be given the opportunity to co-host a full 14-episode show with two people she loves is a surreal and amazing experience to her. “I feel like, at the end of the day when people tune in on Sundays and watch the show, I hope they want to hang out with us and have a good time,” Milloy said. “There are so many awesome food shows out there, but ultimately, I hope the viewers can be able to learn from us.” “Let’s Eat” airs on Sundays at 9 a.m. EST/10 a.m. MST and will run until November.
