with alex guyton A nuclear American family tries to survive a violent uprising in a foreign country. “No Escape” is an entertaining popcorn flick, but not for all of the right reasons. In an effective cold opener that serves as a directorial showcase for John Erick Dowdle, who previously helmed horrors “Quarantine,” “Devil,” and “As Above, So Below,” the camera patiently tracks a waiter as he shepherds a couple of cocktails through the bustling hallways of a hotel. He reaches his destination at long last, and the drinks are delivered to the prime minister and the man he’s meeting. Shortly afterwards, the calm tension that was built by the long takes erupts in blood and gunshots as the prime minister is murdered by rebels. The sequence is separated from the rest of the film by the alarm-red title card, but it also stands alone stylistically. The rest of the film, primarily due to clunky screenwriting, lacks setpieces that are as satisfying. Jack Dwyer (Owen Wilson) is unknowingly delivering his wife, Annie (Lake Bell) and two young daughters, Lucy (Sterling Jerins) and Beeze (Claire Geare), into this political uprising. For his work, the family has to relocate from the states to Southeast Asia. They’re in their hotel room for less than 24 hours when the coup starts. Make no mistake: it’s Southeast Asia, and most definitely, 100 percent not Thailand. The film was shot on location in Thailand with the support of the government, and thus there was
no way that the savage bloodlust and instability showcased on screen was going to be attributed to their country. There is no Thai writing seen throughout the film, and the native language of this “unnamed” country is an amalgam of others. Although you would think that making the location so generic and unrecognizable would lead to a very insipid atmosphere, shooting on location provides the vibrant and alien flavor of Southeast Asia that is so challenging to our American family. While dropping our protagonists into hellish settings makes for entertaining, harrowing fare, it’s tough to ignore the “savage native” concept that is taken to such extremes here. The rebels take bullets and machetes to anything that is remotely associated with Western culture, and for 80 percent of the film no reason is given. By the time Hammond—a British secret service agent played by a Pierce Brosnan that vacillates wildly between “scene-stealingly charismatic” and “hamming it up”—tries to humanize them by saying that they’re in the right to defend their country from Western interference, it’s a single drop against a deluge. If you can push past this, the film’s poor script and missteps in direction still detract. There are your standard, overly convenient plot devices, like that every single person’s international phone doesn’t work, and your plot devices that go nowhere, like when Annie is

revealed to speak French, and she uses it for a meaningless conversation in one scene. The young daughters are also sources that inconveniently defuse tension. As the family hides in a desk and needs to keep silent, Beeze announces that she has to go to the bathroom. Finally, the major culprit of unintentional hilarity is the sequence, highlighted in the trailer, when Jack has to throw his kids from a rooftop to another rooftop below. The scene is over-the-top in concept, but what elevates things to another level is the use of slow motion.
A close-up on a terrified child’s face as she’s unceremoniously flung from a rooftop by her father turns out to be laugh-out-loud comedic gold. Jack’s mantra for survival is “to stay 10 steps ahead.” Though he and his family make it to safe territory, in the end, “No Escape,” despite being entertaining, can’t stay 10 steps ahead of its flaws.

Meet Felicia Uribe, a bartender from Redlands, California working at Ermanos Craft Beer and Wine Bar on Fourth Avenue. Uribe gave the Daily Wildcat some insight on what goes down while working at a bar in Tucson, including weird forehead kisses and missed connections. The Daily Wildcat: How long have you been bartending? Felicia Uribe: I’ve been bartending here for about 3 months now. How’d you become a bartender here? I was living in Southern California for a couple years. I moved over here in May. And then I just applied for the job and got it. And I’ve been a server at other places for about, like, five to 10 years. What drinks do you like to make? Um well, we only serve beer and wine here so we don’t really make drinks. Like, we don’t have mixed drinks here, but I love pouring beer. That’s my favorite thing to do. My favorite beer is Hangar 24—that’s the brewery—and I like anything that’s like pale ales or Pilsners. But I only like that brewery because it’s from my hometown. Do you have a most memorable customer? Um yeah, there’s actually a couple. I had one who … they ordered, like, three bottles of wine, so they were pretty out of control, and they were, like, in love with me by the end of the night. Whenever I got off of work they were trying to have drinks with me, and then one of them came up and gave me a kiss on the forehead before they had left. So those are the ones that are pretty memorable. Do they come back a lot? Yeah, they come at least every Friday in the mornings, so they’ll probably be here this Friday because I work Friday mornings. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen happen here? Um, I’m trying to think. There’s a lot of stuff that happens all the time. I would
have to say the weirdest thing is we’ve had homeless people come in because we give away free samples, so they’ll come in and have free samples and I don’t know they’re homeless. And then I end up finding out about halfway through our conversation that they’re homeless. Not too many crazy things happen, mostly everything happens outside of the bar. Mostly just people who come in already drunk and try to buy beers and we can’t serve them any more.
H e y, ! p e e Bark
What do you appreciate in a customer? Um, I appreciate people who are really open to trying new things. I appreciate that they are considerate of the fact that I am doing a job for them and that they appreciate the time that I take to let them know and take care of them as well. That’s pretty much it, just being courteous and being respectful and being open-minded about what we have on our menu. Do you have any other fun stories or things that have happened here? Oh god, it’s mostly like back-of-thehouse stuff like … us with customers. The biggest thing is people take your kindness for flirtation and then they think that you’re gonna like start a relationship with them. One of the weirdest encounters we’ve had is with one of our cooks. I had a customer come in and he asked specifically for her, so I thought they were like a family member or a friend and then come to find out that he had just had a conversation with her and fell in love with her, and he was like 30 years her senior, so he was like 50-something. He had asked her out, and she was just really uncomfortable with the whole situation because of the way he had approached her. It was pretty funny because she was out in the back making a phone call and so he had just walked out and was just standing there while she was on the phone, and they didn’t like know each other, so stuff like that. Just like getting too close for comfort sometimes because people do take your kindness and just being really friendly—a lot of people take that the wrong way.

Maynard’s Market and Kitchen will be holding its first Grapes to Glass Art and Wine Festival on Saturday from 1-4 p.m. Locals can enjoy samples of wine from the nine wineries attending the event while browsing around the patio area looking at local art. Nyssa Miccio, the marketing assistant for Maynard’s, said it is a way to promote the wineries in Arizona. “Arizona has a really big wine community and vineyard community in Southern Arizona as well as Northern Arizona,” she said. “We wanted to start promoting that.” This event also gives Maynard’s the chance to promote the creative people of Tucson by featuring local artists at the festival. The festival, Miccio said, is a perfect blend of juices both creative and alcoholic. Tickets are $35 and include eight samples of wine, a wine glass, a wine yoke and snacks. There will also be an “I Love Lucy”-inspired grape stomping competition that participants won’t want to miss. The Sonoran Glass School will be one of the groups at the event promoting local art. The school was founded in 2001 by local glass artists in Tucson who wanted to be able to educate the people in the community about glass art. Nicholas Letson, the school’s communications director, said no one in Tucson offered to educate the public about glass art— instruction was more private and required teachers to have a studio.
“Our founders thought it would be a good idea to bring it to everybody, to bring the wonder of glass art to the community,” Letson said. The non-profit school allows youth programs and community outreach programs to be accessible to everyone. Letson also mentioned that this school is the only glass art school in the Southwest that teaches all the disciplines: furnace glassblowing, kiln-firing and torchworking. “We look at what we do as something special,” he said. What has helped Sonoran Glass School expose the school and glass art is the G.O.A.T., or “Glassworking on a Trailer.” Paul Anders-Stout, the Hot Shop director for the school, helped to create and design the mobile hot glass studio. Sonoran Glass School is able to travel to different venues and events to showcase their artistic abilities and educate others about glass art. Anders-Stout said that what he loves about making glass art are all the different elements that must come together. “It seems like there is always something else to be learning and working on,” he said. He added that working with glass requires maximal attention. It can help others learn how to be “in the moment” and focus on a task, he said. The G.O.A.T will be at the Grapes to Glass Wine and Art Festival giving wineglass-making lessons.

New sustainable UA building to replace Centennial Hall officially dedicated at ceremony BY Sam Gross and Christianna Silva

Zi Yang Lai/The Daily Wildcat
The opening of the UA Environment & Natural Resources Phase 2 building was celebrated at a dedication ceremony Thursday evening. According to a press release from University Communications, ENR2 was officially opened to the campus community in July 2015. “The [ENR2 building is the] most sustainable building on campus to date,” said May Carr, the senior architect for Planning, Design and Construction. ENR2 comes complete with a creative water harvesting system of metal fins that funnel rainwater down onto hanging landscaping and blooming trees before filtering into the 52,000-gallon tank underneath.
“Water is collected on the roof and permeates through the levels, irrigating the landscaping as it goes,” said John McGann, professional engineer to the director of Civil Engingeering for GLHN Architects & Engineers. ENR2 is testing solar panels on the roof of the building. where open troughs harvest rainwater. These troughs are dotted throughout the building and, according to Chris Wilt, Facilities project manager, the troughs are a utilization of his “bathtub theory.” “When you get a big rain event, it’s pretty dramatic in here,” Wilt said. “It’s kind of like Disneyland behind the scenes.” The university envisions a learning laboratory on the roof of ENR2 comprised of a community garden that will contain a miniature ecosystem of birds, insects and

Now swipe right for democracy BY Graham Place The Daily Wildcat
I
crashed on my couch Friday night, pulled out my phone and began swiping left and right. I paused for a few seconds every time something caught my eye, and if I was particularly interested, I’d spend a minute writing a message. No, I was not on Tinder. Believe it or not, I was not desperately looking for a date; I was voicing my opinion on proposed national legislation. A recently released app called Countable provides users with unbiased descriptions of legislation proposed in Congress, allows them to vote “yea” or nay” on each bill and automatically sends their representatives a message conveying their opinion. It’s incredibly easy to use and makes engaging in politics refreshingly simple. “The reason Countable will succeed with the public is it truly boils down the issues, and it is easy to use,” said Bart Myers, founder and CEO of Countable, in a 2014 interview with PRWeb.com. “Politics are far too complex and inaccessible as
is. Countable’s strength is that it makes politics and policy accessible to both those who watch the 24-hour news cycle, and those who may not.” After using Countable for a couple of weeks, I can tell you that the app is great. It’s well designed, has plenty of useful features and provides clear descriptions of legislation I might not otherwise understand. But I can’t help but wonder if my voice is truly being heard. The app claims to give users the power to “influence Congress in minutes,” but such an ability is dependent on our representatives actually taking the messages Countable sends into account when deciding how they will vote on a bill. Surely an automatically generated message from a smartphone app conveys less conviction than a phone call or a personally written email. Countable gives the public the opportunity to have our voices heard easily by our lawmakers, but at the same time, it diminishes the impact our individual voices have on their decisions. However, that sacrifice is one we should be willing to make. It’s the summer of 2015. In terms of American politics, that means it’s already 2016. Welcome to an election year. Each day brings a flood of new posts from our friends that show nothing more than general left
or right wing association. You shared a link about Bernie Sanders supporting free public higher education? You must be so socially conscious. You shared a link about Ben Carson using drones to protect the border? You must be so patriotic. This kind of surface-level social media engagement doesn’t influence American politics. It’s a cheap and easy way to appear politicallyminded, which amounts to little more than another box we can check off our list of online “personal branding” requirements. According to an email from Dr. Samara Klar, an assistant professor for the School of Government and Public Policy at the UA, “We now have so many means of communicating messages and receiving political information. To be sure, Millennials are exposed to far more political rhetoric than any previous generation–be it online, through social media, political satire on TV or the massive amounts of money that campaigns are now spending on advertisements.” And yet, such online political over-saturation hasn’t necessarily resulted in higher levels of active political engagement. “Certainly the 2008 election saw a large increase in Millennials’ voting–but that has appeared to drop right back down in subsequent elections,” Klar noted in the email.
That’s where Countable comes in. It may not be the most powerful way to take part in the political process, but at least it provides a communication mechanism for citizens and lawmakers. Our generation can’t vote exclusively in highstakes presidential elections and expect our country to change in the ways we want it to. If we want real change, we need to vote in all elections, stay informed on proposed legislation and tell our elected officials how we feel about the issues our nation faces. If we continue to trap our political discourse in the bubble of our social media profiles, members of Congress will be unable to take our opinions into account when making decisions on legislation. They are elected, after all, to represent us, and therefore must have an understanding of our attitudes toward the bills they vote on. We need to move beyond simply sharing posts with our like-minded peers and start actively engaging in the discussion around national legislation. Countable is the perfect place to start. — Graham Place is a sophomore studying electrical and computer engineering. Follow him @graham_place
Michael Sam forced out of NFL career BY Daniel Geffre
The Daily Wildcat
M
ichael Sam announced Aug. 14 via his Twitter page that he was temporarily leaving the game of football, due to, in his words, “being concerned with [his] mental health.” Sam is the first openly gay NFL player to have come out while still playing the game. There are those that came out after their career was over, such as Wade Davis, who played from 2000 to 2003 and came out in 2012, long after his NFL career was over, as well as Esera Tuaolo, who played from 1991 to 1999 and came out in 2002. Sam was first picked up in the seventh round by the St. Louis Rams,
cut, added to the practice squad of the Dallas Cowboys, cut, then, shortly after, signed a two-year contract with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. After only three months with the Alouettes he announced his retirement. One has to wonder if his comingout announcement was the reason no team decided to sign him. Did his mental health issue stem from his experiences with these teams and players, or just professional football in general? Did all that push him to say enough is enough and call it quits? I know the NFL is a whole other level above the NCAA; however, Sam was an All-American and the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a senior at the

University of Missouri. The guy wasn’t a dud. I’m not sure if he was caliber status to be a starter in the NFL, but he would have been a decent backup, at least. It appears, though, that no team was willing to take that chance when so much money was involved. I’m not the only one that is questioning if his coming out was a reason he wasn’t signed. “I’m not buying the facts that he wasn’t good enough situationally, but when millions of dollars are on the line, it could be used as a legitimate reason. And yet, with the other issue rolled into it, I’m skeptical,” said Tucson City Councilman of Ward 6 Steve Kozachik. The U.S. has taken its time in even

letting homosexuals marry. While it is fantastic that in June of this year the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage nationwide, it took way too long to happen. We still have people that are against it. The Kim Davis fiasco is a great example of homophobia. Despite a legal mandate requiring her to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Davis’ refusal shows the strength of such sentiments. “The NFL also has different mental macho community set of values,” Kozachik said. “It is certainly possible that these men just didn’t feel comfortable being in the clubhouse with Michael Sam... Every social rights issue has its Rosa Parks. There’s a trailblazer who is first.”
When somebody is first in something that the world isn’t accustomed to yet, it takes a long time for that change to become a part of normalized culture. The biggest question is, after the way things with Sam went, will other college players come out, or even consider it, before entering the NFL draft? I personally think one day a player will come out again, much like Sam, but that day won’t happen for a long time, mainly because of the challenges Sam experienced.

BSU event tackles beauty, sexuality standards BY isaac Rounseville The Daily Wildcat
The Black Student Union held a discovery workshop with the Beautiful in Every Shade: 50 Shades of Black movement at the Student Union Memorial Center on Thursday evening. Through the efforts of BSU President Kevyn Butler, the cocreators of Every Shade, Carlton Mackey and Devan Dunson, hosted the gathering in the Catalina and Tucson rooms of the Student Union. The workshop began at 5 p.m. with an impromptu introduction by Mackey that showcased the goals of Every Shade. “You are beautiful,” he said to the room of black students. “From your kinky hair, to your hips, to your full lips, to your shape, you are beautiful.” Mackey, Ethics and Arts Program director for Emory University Center for Ethics, described his conception of the 50 Shades of Black movement. “It started with a literal spectrum of black sexuality and body image,” Mackey said. “It ended up turning into an effort to chip away at the normative standards society sets up about beauty and sexuality.” Dunson, an artist, model and
activist who majored in history from Hampton University, talked about how the movement has changed his conception of beauty and worth. “I can see who I am in the world and what I’m not. I’m able to truly understand what defines me,” he said. There were four “Activation Stations” throughout the Tucson Room that emphasized the idea of self-affirmation and pride in skin tone and body image. One was the “Black Men Smile” station, which sought to engender discussions on black masculinity in contemporary society. Another was a written reflection station, where the attendees produced thoughts on personal identity, dignity and pride. There was also a display section on various sexual and racial identities: black Latina, East African, Jamaican, bi-racial and black gay male. The Photo Booth station attracted most of the attendees and was part of an effort by Dunson and Mackey to create a mosaic of black identity. “We want to create a mosaic of people’s collective identities that is more beautiful than their individual selves,” Mackey said.

A University of Arizona student, who declined to provide her name, shares her story with Beautiful in Every Shade in the Student Union Memorial Center on Thursday, Sept. 10.
Student Affairs at the UA, said the goal of the event was to reach out to students wrestling with issues on beauty and body image. “I’m 28 [years old] now, but when I was 18, you would never see my hair like this,” she said, pointing to
her head. “I would struggle with the fact that I’m not a size four, that I had a bit of a shape.” Adodo said she learned the importance of authenticity in identity as the years went by and that she hopes Every Shade can teach
students the same at an earlier stage. “I think this event is great because it gives these young students the opportunity to look in the mirror and say, ‘I love my skin, I love my hair, I love my lips,’ ” Adodo said.

plants, which would absorb heat and provide insulation. Over the summer, the building was home to a hummingbird family. There are communal rooms scattered throughout each floor of the building and a café on the bottom level pulls professors and students alike out of their offices and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. ENR2 will be used as a replacement of Centennial Hall, with two rooms that house over 500 occupants. Carr said that she believes Centennial Hall needs to be a dedicated performance space. The 150,954-square-foot building has the most efficient air conditioning system on campus, making it the building with the coolest ambient temperature. The heating and cooling system, according to University Communications, “will result in a 30 percent reduction in annual energy budget.” Exposed concrete surrounds the five-story building, and floor vents are used to cool people where they walk. The metal fins on the outsides of the building are designed to provide shade, reducing the structure’s temperature. “It’s not painted. It’s never meant to be painted,” Carr said. The designers of ENR2 decided against panting the building both for sustainability reasons and for durability. They want the building to last over 100 years. — Follow Sam Gross @samzgross Christianna Silva @christianna_j

Many of the younger attendees echoed Adodo’s description of adolescents’ struggle with positive identity. “I think this is a great sort of event because black people make up a very small minority at the [UA],” said Taperra Riddle, a sociology freshman. Riddle and her friend, Anika Gaysue, a computer science freshman, talked about the importance of black Americans coming together and discussing specific issues of pride, dignity and identity. “It’s good to know that there are other people with similar problems to talk about,” she said. The event concluded with an open panel for reflection, in which various black students shared their feelings of self-doubt about body image and skin tone. They talked about how they had to alter their natural hair, name pronunciation and body image to please what they saw as broader cultural trends of beauty. To snapping fingers and applause, the group then discussed how they abandoned these beauty standards and sought a more authentic image for themselves. While the event’s focus was on black pride and identity, Mackey and Dunson ended the evening with a universal message. “None of us are beautiful until we acknowledge the fact that all of us are,” Mackey said. — Follow Isaac Rounseville @itsgonbezoppity

Team inspired by loss of supporter Andrew Valdez was an Arizona super-fan who regularly attended football practices and games. He passed away this past June.
Arizona football will always remember June 20, 2015 as a day of infamy—the day that 19-yearold Andrew Valdez passed away from cystic fibrosis and liver complications. For those who are unfamiliar with Valdez’s story, the “One Tough Cat” was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was just months old. Valdez struggled through constant hospital visits and the illness from that point on. Valdez and his family never had it easy. His mother, Lorita, passed away in 2011. His father cared for him and his brother, with Valdez forced to help out around the house. Despite these challenges, Valdez felt comfortable with Arizona football players. They became his friends. But many never would have predicted how much of an impact he would have on the team and the Wildcat community. “He was there every Thurday and Friday practice,” quarterback Anu Solomon said. “If he could make it, he would support us; be out there. His family is in our prayers.” Valdez would spend long amounts of time after practice speaking with some of his favorite players, such as senior safety Anthony Lopez or
junior linebacker Scooby Wright III. “Probably when he came for the Lift for Life last summer,” Lopez said when asked about his favorite memory with Valdez. “He had a really great time. He got to see all the guys out there and everybody was loving him, so that was probably my favorite memory with him.” Lift for Life was an inaugural event to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis in honor of Valdez, raising money for the Southern Arizona Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through a national nonprofit organization called Uplifting Athletes. The Wildcats honored their friend, wearing stickers with the initials “AV” on their helmets against UTSA last Thursday. But the biggest tribute came just 28 seconds into the game. Lopez intercepted UTSA quarterback Blake Bogenschutz and returned the pass for a 23-yard touchdown on what was the Roadrunners’ first pass of the game. Lopez wasn’t even expected to play against UTSA and had been tending to a recent injury that forced him to wear a boot the past few weeks. When Tellas Jones was suspended for violating team rules, Lopez stepped up to the plate. Was it fate? Probably. But that interception was truly in honor of Andrew Valdez.

“It was definitely for Andrew,” Lopez said after defeating UTSA. “I miss the kid more than anything. This whole game was for him and this whole season is for him.” Valdez had a whole lot of heart and always preached the message to persevere. “I hope I can show them not to give up,” Valdez told Paul Cicala and
KVOA in January. “I do sometimes compare myself to UA. I don’t want the guys to be put down by a loss. I always want them to keep our head up because even in losses, I’m always a Wildcat fan.” The remainder of the season is now, and forever will be, dedicated to Valdez. “Andrew is definitely with us,”
Lopez said. “I mean, we had the sticker on the back of our helmets [against UTSA] and [I] was always thinking of him. We always keep in contact with his family as much as we can and he will always be a part of our lives.” — Follow Matt Wall @MWall20

We expect to be in the national tournament. We expecct to do some damage.” Chad Berman, UA Hockey head coach

Second-year coach Chad Berman looks to take struggling program to new heights
W
rigley Field, an iconic ballpark located on the north side of Chicago, is known for its ivy-filled walls in the outfield, apartment seating and historic Wrigleyville neighborhood just outside the friendly confines of the park. This is where Arizona hockey head coach, Chad Berman, used to make a living. Berman could be found performing covers of popular songs in the middle of Wrigleyville before and after Cubs games. Berman’s decision to move to Chicago to become a singer and songwriter came after his hockey career was cut short due to medical reasons. He first laced up his skates at 5 years old and had no idea where his hockey career would lead him. Berman said he was more of a “late bloomer” growing up, which meant he was more of a grinder type player. “I’ve always had to work harder than my talent possessed,” Berman said. His big break came when he was 19 years old, as he landed a spot on a Junior A team in Toledo, Ohio. Scouts in the North American Hockey
League took notice of Berman’s progression as he elevated himself from a “40-point guy to a 100-point guy.” “It was a big deal for me to get in to that league. It was the elite league at the time, it was compared to the [U.S. Hockey League],” Berman said. After stints with two teams in the NAHL, Berman moved on to play college hockey at NCAA Division III school, SUNY-Fredonia. It was just one season into Berman’s college career when he found out that he had a heart condition, which resulted in his decision to step away from the game and pursue his music career. Just when Berman thought his hockey career had finally closed, a coaching position opened at Robert Morris University-Illinois. “I thought, ‘Well I’d like to do something I enjoy,’ so I took the opportunity to coach,” Berman said. While at Robert Morris, Berman was an assistant coach specializing in working with defensemen and helped in player development and recruiting. Before arriving at Arizona, Berman helped guide Robert Morris to a No. 2 ranking and second-place finish in the American College Hockey League Division I finals. The team lost to ASU. Ironically enough, ASU coach Greg Powers hinted at a possible head coach opening at
Arizona to Berman while they were at the national tournament. “When the job posted up, I was ready and prepared to attack, if you will,” Berman said. The rest is history. Berman and the Wildcats finished their first season together in 2014-2015 with an 11-22-3 record, a disappointing season for many. Moving forward, Berman is ready to implement a culture of winning at the UA. In upcoming tryouts this week, Berman will be looking for committed individuals to join the team. Berman says the weakness of last year’s team was its defense, but this year that will be one of its strengths due to its five new defensemen. “All are high-caliber players, but first and foremost they are high-character kids. That’s where we need to start; we need to build a foundation to build off of,” Berman said. With the new additions to the team and Berman’s emphasis on winning, he believes the team will make substantial strides from last season. “We think we are a significantly better team,” Berman said. “We expect to be in the national tournament. We expect to do some damage.” Now, fully engulfed in coaching at the UA, Berman is committed to putting the best product
of hockey out on the ice and to pack the Tucson Convention Center Arena as frequently as he can with 6,000 fans. That does not stop him from thinking about his unpredictable journey from the streets of Wrigleyville to Tucson. “Here I am living in the desert, coaching hockey. Part of me is not sure how this happened, but I’m definitely grateful for the opportunity here and excited to go to the rink every day,” Berman said. “It’s a good way to earn a living.”

Volleyball takes perfect record to Long Island BY Brandon James The Daily Wildcat
Arizona volleyball will look to continue its undefeated season over the weekend in Long Island, N.Y., where it will take on Syracuse Friday at 1:30 p.m., LIU Brooklyn Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and Ohio State Saturday at 2 p.m. The No. 13 Wildcats have only dropped one set in their six matches this season. Ohio State, ranked No. 15 in the country, will be the No. 1 ranked opponent the Wildcats play this season and looks to be a good test for Arizona. “We’re certainly going to have our work cut out for us over the next two weekends,” said Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio. Rubio said LIU Brooklyn—even though the team has not won a match this season—will be a very competitive team and that Ohio State and undefeated Syracuse are both very athletic and experienced competitors. In order to prepare for these
more athletic teams, Rubio placed a strong emphasis on blocking and offense during practice this week, areas he said were on the bottom of the list of priorities in the past. Rubio said his team must improve on those aspects throughout the season and that they will continue to be a work in progress. Junior Kalei Mau has taken on an entirely new role this season from last, and she hopes to continue improving and developing this weekend. Being a first-year transfer a year ago, Mau played very little and was still figuring out her role. Now, Mau said she knows exactly what she needs to bring to the table even if it means playing positions she never has before. “This is my first time ever playing all rotations,” Mau said. “I’ve never actually had a coach that even trusted me to play back row, so it’s a big deal for me to go back there and make plays happen, score points and end rallies, because that’s really what I’m back there for.” Mau said she hopes she can

improve her decision-making this weekend, specifically about attacking when she is hitting in the back row. Mau also has stepped into a leadership role as being one of the key contributors for the Wildcats this year. Mau said she has become a player that her teammates can always rely on to put balls down
and score whenever the team needs it. The Wildcats will hope to leave New York extending their undefeated season to 9-0, but it will be the toughest slate of games Arizona has had so far. “It’s definitely going to be a tougher lineup than what we’ve been seeing earlier in the season,”
said senior Nikki Attea. “We have our first top-25 matchup. I think it’s going to be really good for preparing us going into the following weekend and into preseason too.”

Mau digs UA volleyball’s defense BY Ivan Leonard
The Daily Wildcat
From becoming a situational player after transferring from Minnesota last year to becoming one of the top two-way players in the Pac-12 Conference, Arizona volleyball outside hitter Kalei Mau is learning that the sky is the limit. “Last year was a transition year and a great learning year for her, and now she is taking what she went through in the spring and starting to apply to this fall season,” said Arizona volleyball coach Dave Rubio. “I like what she is doing this season. She still has a long way to go to be an efficient player for us, but she’s got some real athleticism and she is shouldering a big load for us.” The hitter from Kahaluu, Hawaii, won Pac12 Defensive Player of the Week to start the season on a high note. Led by Mau, the Wildcats boast one of the Pac-12’s stingiest defenses, allowing a hitting percentage of only .076.
After tallying 28 digs all of last season, Mau accumulated 31 digs against SMU and tied for the fifth-highest single game total in school history. She also became the third Arizona player with over 30 digs in a four-set match. Mau is becoming a better offensive player for the Wildcats, too, as she currently leads the team in kills, while ranking eighth in the conference in points per set and digs per set. The Wildcats are on the right track as a team, but Mau believes she has room to improve. She noted that she loves the position she is in with Rubio and her teammates. “There [are] so [many] more things I can improve with my game, but probably scoring from the back row,” Mau said about what she needs to improve on most. “This is my first time playing all rotation and I have never had a coach trust me to play back row, so this is a big deal for me to make plays and score points. The main thing for me is to be smart about the attacks I choose when I am hitting in the back row.”
Mau was a key player for the Wildcats last weekend at the Arizona Invitational, when they swept South Dakota, Florida A&M and Cal State Northridge to extend their winning streak to six. The winning weekend also improved Arizona’s national ranking to No. 13. The junior led the team in kills in all three of those games, including a career-high 15 against Cal State Northridge. Mau will look to once again lead the Wildcats when they travel to Brooklyn, New York, this weekend for the Blackbird Invitational. The tournament includes a date with Ohio State, which is currently ranked No. 15 in the nation. For Mau, it will be another opportunity to display her already impressive game, and to continue to improve.

UA soccer faces tough homestand BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat
The Arizona soccer team is off to the best start in school history after winning its first five games of the season. The Wildcats will put their perfect record on the line this weekend when they face two difficult opponents in the Arizona Cats Classic, hosted by the UA. Arizona opens the weekend tonight at 7 with a match against No. 18 Texas Tech before facing No. 14 Pepperdine on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. The impressive start to the season has put the Wildcats in the national spotlight, as they’re starting to grab the attention of other programs across the country. “Other programs will definitely take notice,” Pac-12 Network play-by-play commentator Daron Sutton said about Arizona. “And I think what they’re noticing is … how their veteran defense is allowing what’s a good attack to be even more dangerous.”
Arizona has taken 88 shots and scored 14 goals this season, yet at the same time, the Wildcats have only allowed 30 shots and one goal to their opponents. A balanced attack has been the calling card for the Wildcats, who currently have 39 votes in the NSCAA poll. This puts them right outside the national rankings at No. 26 in the country. The program has not been ranked in the top 25 for nearly a decade, but reaching that status isn’t a huge concern for head coach Tony Amato right now. “I mean, I’d rather be ranked than not be in the discussion at all, but ultimately it’s about trying to win each game, and we want to make sure that we’re ranked at the end of the season,” Amato said. “We would hate to celebrate being ranked early in the season or having the best start in school history if we weren’t able to finish it off throughout the year.” The Wildcats have a perfect
opportunity to prove themselves on the national stage when playing two ranked teams this weekend. Arizona opens up against a very difficult Texas Tech team that Amato believes could test Arizona offensively. “They play a 4-4-2 box midfield and it’s definitely challenging to play against that system,” he said. Texas Tech has the talent to go along with its complex style. The Red Raiders are led by reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, Janine Beckie. Beckie, who has played with the Canadian national team, is one of the best players in the country, according to Amato. “We’ll have to embrace the challenge and be at our best if we’re going to get the result [we want],” Amato said. Pepperdine, on the other hand, tied Virginia, the top-ranked team in the country, 2-2 in its last match. “They’ve always been really good,” Amato said. “Tim Ward, their [head] coach, has done a great job there. They

always have good players and he gets them organized. They have a defensive scheme that is able to stop some of the best teams in the country. If you can score two goals against the No. 1 team in the country, then you know you have some dangerous players.” Playing against two ranked teams in one weekend is no easy task, but it’s something Amato believes will help the Wildcats prepare for the rest of the
season. “Honestly, this is what a Pac-12 [Conference] weekend looks like, when you play two top-25 programs [in one weekend]. … We know it will help us prepare for our Pac-12 season.”

China Pasta House leaves much to be desired BY Jessica Kong
The Daily Wildcat
China Pasta House is a familyowned restaurant from the city of Dandong in northeastern China, near the border to North Korea. The restaurant’s website states, “We believe in freshness. We make all our noodles and dumplings from scratch every day! Moreover, all our ingredients are all natural. No MSG. No food coloring. Just healthy, hearty, real Chinese food.” After seeing all these promising statements, the chance to try out this eatery gave a glimmer of hope for delectable, inexpensive and authentic Chinese food in Tucson. The restaurant is located right across Sixth Street from campus near the Wildcat Cafe and NextCare Urgent Care. Although the walking distance is short, the high expectations for China Pasta House became a complete disappointment in the end. Upon arrival, the interior of the restaurant was small but tolerable. The artwork of large Chinese characters mounted on the wall was the only eye-catching piece in the restaurant; the rest of the surroundings were lackluster.
Unfortunately, inside felt muggy with little to no air conditioning circulating. The menu consists of appetizers, dumplings, soups, noodles, beverages and specials with a variety of choices in each section. Pictures are displayed for convenience. After perusing the specials, the curry beef rice and cabbage and pork wonton soup seemed not only filling, but tasty as well. The wait wasn’t long before the orders were served, hot and steaming. The cabbage pork wonton soup looked presentable consisting of wontons, seaweed and diced green onions in a bowl of broth. On the other hand, the beef in the curry beef rice did not taste like beef at all, but rather like chicken with beef-flavored sauce mixed in. This certainly became apparent after just a few bites in. In the description for this dish, the rice comes with potatoes, carrots and beef. Being a potato-lover in all its glorious forms, I found this dish an utter letdown with not an ounce of the potatoes or carrots that were promised on the menu. In fact, those ingredients were substituted with some chopped

onions. Nothing else was added in for texture or appeal. The portions were generous but did not dismiss the fact that the ingredients were lacking and toppled over a spread of plain white rice. What really became the icing on the cake of disgust was finding two pieces of short, wavy hair in their glazed sauce. Immediately repulsed by this, I no
longer had an appetite to finish the rest of the cabbage and pork wonton soup. The owners were insincere and rude, quite frankly, after I notified them of this find. Even after an apology, their offer to remove the curry beef rice off the bill did not make up for the fact that their attitude and customer service were distasteful.
The only things that felt “all natural” were the hairs the cooks dismissively included before serving their customers. China Pasta House is not a charming gem for authentic Chinese food. — Follow Jessica Kong @ArtsDailyW_Jess
Hot dogs become a thing of art at photo exhibit BY Audrey Molloy The Daily Wildcat
There is something residually American and sordidly satisfying about hot dogs. Pure in form, not quite pink but maybe brown, these pork, beef, and chicken mashups usually don’t warrant aesthetic appreciation, much less cultural consideration. In a gallery setting, the sentiments are considerably intensified. At least that’s the initial reaction evoked by photographer Lucas Blalock’s work in “The Pure Products of America Go Crazy,” the latest exhibition at the Center for Creative Photography running Saturday, June 20 to Sunday, Sept. 13. Curated by CCP’s Joshua Chuang, “The Pure Products of America Go Crazy” is, at first glance, a remarkably aesthetic consideration for an institution rooted in traditional processes, formal photographic concepts, with one of the largest archives of Western male photographers in North America. Plywood panels shroud standard white walls, framed works sits on the floor leaning breezily against walls, and the title itself, a line from a 1923 William Carlos Williams poem, is an accessible reference unbarred by institutionalized art jargon. Featuring the work of photographers Lucas Blalock, Owen Kydd and John Lehr,
and accompanied by works from the CCP archive by Ansel Adams, Walker Evans, Lee Friedlander, Aaron Siskind, Frederick Sommer and Edward Weston, among others, “Pure Products of America” is a forthright contemporary show. The work is sparse and flat, depicting environments and products in a hypersaturated and experientially neutral manner. Besides hot dogs, subjects include plastic kiddie pools, damaged surfaces, mops, pillows, durational photographs on screens and manipulated images. What’s interesting is not the content, but its treatment. “One of the things that’s been really liberating about these kind of pictures that I’ve made over the last few years is that every part of the process is open for change and interpretation, from intervention on site, on the computer, through printing, setting things up in the studio, bringing things out into the world. It’s almost like in every picture I’m sort of reinventing it,” Blalock said at a panel talk with Lehr Sept. 10th at the CCP. Approaching medium specificity in a virtual world, the photographic work exhibited at the CCP addresses the very state and mechanics of photography as it is situated in modernity. Images reference the mechanics of image-making, Photoshop and the history of photography directly.
“One of the things I’m trying to do in the act of making photographs is to reinforce their inherent flatness but also to try and expand the space through the act of making the photograph, and I think that has to do somehow with trying to make something that feels both virtual and physical at the same time,” Lehr said. “To have a picture be an embodiment of that relationship that we often find ourselves in.” As the role of photography sublates into common everyday processes—as image, as advertisement, as non-verbal communication, in social media—our understanding of photography necessarily dissolves. Increasingly, photographs that take on the appearance of fine art are recognized as such. Conflating photography present and past, “The Pure Products of America Go Crazy” establishes a duality between content and the means by which that content was achieved as has not yet been achieved in the relative short history of photography as an art practice. “Part of the initial anxiety about the digital age is that there was a point in time where everyone was working with the same printer, the same set of inks,” Chuang said. “There was only a handful of papers that you could really use, so things started to kind of look the
same, although there was this theoretically limitless set of possibilities in the digital space.” Lehr, Blalock and Owen challenge these aestheticized conceptions, begging: what is the burgeoning role of fine art photography contemporaneously? It is technical, mechanical, online, permanent, reproducible and digital. It is also very different from the photography by Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, and John Edwin Mayall that was first recognized as fine art a century ago, or even 1966 fine art photography, where, as in Bill Brandt’s unframed show at Museum of Modern Art that year, framing photographs for exhibition was considered ostentatious, and prints were adhered to thin plywood for display. With largely framed prints of empty space and direct attention to the processes involved in the production of an image, it is safe to say that photography, in the least, is a residual medium, sordidly satisfying—kind of like a hot dog.

History is waiting to be discovered in relative proximity to the University of Arizona campus at the Arizona History Museum BY Justice Amarillas
The Daily Wildcat
Right off campus lives a place where Arizona’s history is waiting to be discovered. The Arizona History Museum, located on 949 E. Second St., is a part of the Arizona Historical Society, which oversees a community of history museums in the state. The museum has collections that date back to the Spanish colonial era and more recent history through World War II. Exhibits are constantly held and changed in the museum, with its most famous being the “Geronimo” exhibit. The “Geronimo” exhibit, eponymously
named, is a visual biography with key artifacts including Geronimo’s surrendered rifle and photographs of his peace negotiation. Another notable exhibit is “The Silverbell Artifacts including the Desert Crosses.” This exhibit consists of 32 lead artifacts that were found here in Tucson near Grant and Silverbell roads in the 1920s. These artifacts were featured in an episode of “America Unearthed” on the H2 Channel. A new exhibition called “I Am Tucson” opened Aug. 1. “I Am Tucson” is an interactive, hands-on exhibit in which Tucsonans have the opportunity to become part of the exhibit. It highlights the community’s likes and dislikes of Tucson and also gives them the chance to proudly identify
as Tucsonans. Participants can add personally drawn maps to the exhibit walls, incorporate their favorite David Fitzsimmons cartoons and complete a crossword puzzle that quizzes Tucsonans on their local knowledge. Today, photographer Ken Blackbird will be present at the museum from 4 to 5:30 p.m. to talk about his exhibition that has been up since April. In the museum, Blackbird dedicates an entire room to displaying live-action shots of a Native American rodeo in Wyoming, bearing resemblance to Tucson’s annual rodeo in late February. “The Arizona Historical Society hosts four museums in Tucson. Each one portrays a specific piece of local history, but this museum has a little bit of everything,” said Eric Gonzalez, the museum operations manager. “This is a great place to learn about Tucson’s history, and even though the name says Arizona, it’s also just as much about Tucson’s history—Southern Arizona included.”
When asked about their favorite exhibits, Barbara O’Leary, a museum volunteer, said “it changes with each exhibit, but my all-time favorite is the hands-on exhibit upstairs,” while visitor Shirley Pinkerton said “I like the mines,” referring to the Arizona Mining Hall. A library is also located inside the museum and is free for the public to use. Admission to the museum is $8 for adults and students entry is discounted at $5. The museum also offers a deal to visit on Mondays and Fridays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., for Family Night and Cheap Date Nite, as admission is only a buck. The museum is open on Mondays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Make sure to bring a jacket, as the museum stays at a very cool temperature. — Follow Justice Amarillas @WildcatJustice3
Giant slip and slide comes to Tucson BY Victoria Pereira The Daily Wildcat
You’re never too old to ride a slip and slide, especially one that’s 1,000 feet long. This Saturday, Slide the City is throwing a party in Tucson complete with food, music, fun and a gigantic slip and slide, and they’re inviting the whole town. Children and adults alike can have a chance to take the slide of their life at this traveling water park and block party hybrid that is unlike any other. “As soon as I read [Slide the City] was coming to Tucson, I was super excited,” said resident Amy Lake. “Seriously, how often do you get the chance to slide down a 1,000-foot water slide?” Lake already purchased her slide ticket and is bringing along her partner and 6-monthold daughter. For those interested in sliding, participants must be at least 5 years old, 46 inches tall and must slide on an inner tube. There are three
different ticket options that are available to sliders based on how many times they want to ride: the Single Slider, Triple Slider and Super Slider. Instead of a specific number of slides, Super Slider ticket holders are given a 3-hour time span to slide as much as they can, which normally comes out to between five and seven slides. Tickets can be purchased either online before the event at slidethecity.com or in person Saturday. With every ticket purchase, participants will receive a drawstring bag and a mouthguard, but the Triple and Super Sliders will also receive a tube to use for their rides. Those who are not given a tube must purchase their own or bring a tube from home. Regardless of their chosen ticket option, participants are encouraged to bring their favorite tubes from home to show off during their slide. “People will get crazy that way,” said Emily Sanchez, the event coordinator for Slide the City. “We’ve seen giant swans, we’ve seen pizza slices, all different kinds of crazy inflatables.”
For those who don’t want to take the 1,000foot journey but still want to experience the day’s events, spectators are always welcome. Onlookers don’t have to pay a fee and can enjoy watching the hundreds of participants slip down the street. There will also be various food trucks and vendors for the spectators and sliders to check out, and the Slide the City crew will provide music. Slide the City has only existed for a little over a year, so this will be the event’s first time being hosted in Tucson. The event was created by the organization who hosts The Dirty Dash Mud Run. They wanted to create a new event that was unlike anything else, so they settled on a massive slip and slide. The slide has already visited Fountain Hills, Arizona, Flagstaff and Phoenix, and has been met with overwhelming success all across the country. There are three identical slides that are used for the events and transported around the country in order for multiple Slide the Cty events to take place simultaneously.
This coming weekend, all three slides will be in operation: one will be in Huntsville, Alabama, another in Decatur, Georgia, and the third here in Tucson. Each looks to attract between 800 and 1400 attendees. Bringing a humongous slip and slide to the middle of a city isn’t the easiest of tasks and the crew has to go through meticulous planning and coordinating with each city’s government before every Slide the City event. Sanchez explained that the crew puts in a lot of effort to ensure that each event is a great experience for those who attend, and the process is rewarding. “Each city has their own vibe, and it’s really fun to see that and to see a city’s personality come out,” Sanchez said. So break out the sunscreen and bathing suits, hold onto your flip flops and get ready for the slipperiest ride of your life. — Follow Victoria Pereira @vguardie917
