Got the flu? Doctor’s note isn’t always enough BY lauren renteria The Daily Wildcat

The fall months are filled with rainy days, pumpkin spice lattes and thick coats to prepare for the cold weather.

As autumn makes its entrance, however, the season of sickness soon follows.

The flu season makes its debut in October, giving students a month to brace against a wave of contagion.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, sick college students are advised against going to class, or leaving their residence, until they have been feverfree for at least 24 hours. UA Campus Health also advises students to stay home when ill to avoid spreading the disease to others.

For college students at the UA, this means missing vital class time, and even lost points for an unexcused absence.

Recovery from a seasonal flu might take days, and with classes that only take place once or twice a week, that could potentially mean a student missing an entire week of class.

While retrieval of a physician’s note might seem like the answer, it is usually impractical.

“I have a class, actually, where the policy is that you are excused, but only if you have proof that you were in the hospital, so a regular doctor’s note wouldn’t count,” said Paulina Jenney, a senior studying creative writing and environmental studies. “While I do appreciate the hospital excuse, a lot of the times when you have a contagious illness, that’s not something you’re going to the hospital for.”

According to the NLM, students with the flu usually do not need to see a physician,

Empty desks fill Room 118 of the Social Sciences building on Sunday. UA professors are not required to accept a doctor’s note for an absence, though flu season can cause many to miss class.

but do require simple bed rest until well.

Without an excused absence, some students feel obligated to attend class regardless of their health in order to receive full participation credit, putting other students at risk for infection.

Alex Nguyen, a senior studying molecular and cellular biology, said there is extra stress regarding the attendance policy in her classes.

“Hearing that you might get a whole grade lower if you miss class … It’s really scary to hear something like that,” Nguyen said. “It kind of makes it more stressful, I think. When you look at your classes, you think, ‘I can’t miss anything.’”

According to the 2014-2015 UA General Catalog, class attendance policy is left much to the instructor’s discretion.

Therefore, UA instructors are

not required to acknowledge physicians’ notes that would excuse a student from class.

Assistant Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs Advancement Beth Acree explained the reason that a change in policy is likely not a possibility in the future.

“In general, our academic departments and instructors are fairly decentralized and appreciate being able to customize certain policies to fit the needs of their class and discipline,” Acree said. “Also, I imagine that some instructors are not comfortable reviewing a student’s health information and prefer to have a policy that limits absences regardless of the reason.”

While Campus Health does suggest that students stay home when sick, the best they can do is advise. The last time instructors were required to

accept medical excuses was in 2004 in response to the H1N1 pandemic.

Even though there is no specific policy in place, Terri West, administrative associate to the executive director and director for administration for Campus Health Service, said Campus Health encourages instructors to allow students to make up missed work.

“Campus Health does recommend that if a student is ill, that they have the opportunity to stay home for that illness, especially if it is a contagious illness, and that they be given the opportunity to make up whatever work,” West said.

Exploring UA food options one bite at a time

BY BRANDI WALKER The Daily Wildcat

Some UA students have grown bored of the classic Einstein Bros. bagel for breakfast and Chick-fil-A sandwich for lunch from the Student Union Memorial Center everyday and want more food options on campus.

“I think there should just be a general cafeteria option with basic food choices that people can go through instead of just restaurants and markets,” said Hannah Martin, a psychology freshman.

The UA has 42 food service venues on campus, according to Michael Omo, senior executive chef for Arizona Student Unions’ Dining Services. Omo said he is always open to suggestions and that people can contact him directly via email.

Omo said the food venues are arranged by different cuisines including mediterranean, Mexican, Asian and American. Arizona Room is a more upscale option at the Student Union, Omo said, and Pangea offers all-you-can-eat-style food from around the world.

“There’s a lot of different ethnicities of food in there depending on what day you go in there,” Omo said.

Omo said 15 of the restaurants on campus were revamped this summer and that every summer the UA looks at requests students have made via survey.

“Every summer we see what students are looking for and how we can integrate that as we go forward, and in the beginning of the school year we are rolling out the new things,” Omo said. “There were a lot of changes, if it was an actual change on the menu or change on the concept or enhancing what we were doing; like in The Cellar, we changed it to more of a sports

bar feel with gourmet hamburgers and milkshakes and pub-style food in there.

Thursday, Saturday and Sunday it’s all about football in there.”

The Student Union also has fast food options like Burger King, Chick-fil-A, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Panda Express and Papa John’s Pizza.

“Over at Park [Student Union] we’ve partnered up with Denny’s to bring a new concept over there which is called The Den, which is kind of an all-day breakfast

and burger concept,” Omo said.

Omo said the PSU food court also has a build-to-order sandwich deli and a venue with a flatbread concept.

“Cactus Grill has omelettes all day, has noodles all day, has BBQ,” Omo said. “From a variety standpoint, we have quite a bit of different variety there, plus we have a lot of build-your-own options, so you can customize it the way you want to eat it.”

Jesse Lee, accounting junior, said he likes the fast food chain options on campus.

“People who go to other schools complain that they only get slop scooped onto their tray at their college cafeterias,” Lee said.

Omo said the next development at the Student Unions Wildcats can look forward to is an ice-cream parlor next to the U-Mart.

UA professor: Iran deal not black and white by sebastian laguan

The Daily Wildcat

The Iran Deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, has been a topic of considerable controversy over the past few months. With this issue in the national spotlight, the UA has been working to expose more students to its complexity.

The evolving role of Iran and the complicated dynamics of its role in the world were examined at an event hosted by the UA Hillel Foundation in collaboration with The Arizona Center for Judaic Studies .

“Iran has had no hesitation when it comes to funding their proxies,” said Professor Asher Susser, the Andrea and David Stein professor of Modern Israel Studies at the UA, during his talk “Iran and the Arabs: The Changing Balance of Power.”

Susser contends that Iran will only continue spending more money on its proxies, like Syria, if the nuclear sanctions are lifted.

“If Syria is lost, the entire hegemony design of Iran will be lost,” Susser said.

“Without Syria, they have no connection to Hezbollah and Lebanon and without that connection, they will lose their stranglehold on Israel.”

Syria has become increasingly reliant upon the aid of countries such as Russia and Iran, and Iran has been more than willing to fund the regime.

“They are spending nearly a billion dollars a month on Syria, even with low oil prices and the sanctions currently in place,” Susser said.

According to a study released by the Pew Research Center, a non-partisan research group, only 21 percent of Americans support the agreement with 49 percent opposed and 30 percent having no opinion.

The support is down from 33 percent when President Barack Obama first announced the agreement in mid-July.

“There needs to be a strategy for what will happen next, if and when Iran cheats on the nuclear agreement,” Susser said.

“There needs to be a focus on creating strategic operations for the future.”

Olivier Douliery/Abaca Press/TNS

President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry meet with a small group of veterans and Gold Star Mothers to discuss the Iran Nuclear deal in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on Sept. 10 in Washington, D.C.

With Congress voting on the deal this fall, Arizona’s senators have mulled over the options and taken their stands on the issue.

Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake, along with the rest of their Republican colleagues, have pledged to vote against the deal.

Sen. Flake was the latest Republican senator to counter the deal, despite being seen by many as a potential target for bipartisan support for the Obama administration.

“While Congress has received assurances from the administration that it does not forfeit its ability to impose sanctions on Iran for behavior on the non-nuclear side, these assurances do not square with the text of the JCPOA,” Sen. Flake said in a statement released last month.

Arizona Democratic Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema is also against the deal.

“I am concerned that this agreement will escalate a conventional arms race in the Middle East and further destabilize the region,” Sinema said in a statement released on Thursday.

Despite the sentiments of Arizona congressional leaders, news released last week showed that President Obama had gained enough Democratic support in the Senate in order to block a Republican resolution to reject the deal.

“The Iran agreement is not a panacea for the sectarian and extremist violence that has been ripping that region apart,” said Secretary of State John Kerry. “But history may judge it as a turning point.”

Opinions on both sides of the argument on the Iran agreement have been strong,

and the UA will continue to try and shine a light on the impact it could have.

There will be a discussion on the agreement titled, “The Iranian Nuclear Agreement: Containment or Catastrophe?” on Thursday. The event will be sponsored by the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the UA College of Science.

Three main participants will be Philip Pinto, an associate professor of astronomy; Faten Ghosn, an associate professor of government and public policy and near eastern studies; along with Susser. The event is free and will begin at 7 p.m. in Crowder Hall.

UA Tar Wars chapter brings smoking to light BY ava garcia

The Daily Wildcat

A UA group is working to promote tobacco-free living by expanding education about the consequences of smoking.

The student-run organization Tar Wars visits fourth-and fifthgrade classes around Tucson to provide education about the consequences of smoking.

The UA chapter of Tar Wars is part of the national organization Academy of Family Physicians.

The club has been a staple of the UA College of Medicine for years, but this year the club has opened its membership availability to undergraduate students as well.

“I thought, with medical students being so busy and this being such an important cause, that having more manpower

would be great,” said Audriana Hurbon, coordinator for Tar Wars at the UA College of Medicine.

“So we decided to start a chapter on the undergraduate campus.”

Hurbon said the medical perspective of this group helps give students a broader understanding of the health risks associated with smoking.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

the leading preventable cause of death in the U.S. is smoking.

“People around the community and teachers can do it themselves, but having a medical perspective and having people that are geared towards pre-health professions gives them a unique perspective on some of the issues and a better understanding of the health complications that we address,”

Hurbon said.

That medical background is one aspect that prompted Hurbon, a second-year medical student, and Nicole Morgan, president of Tar Wars’ undergraduate chapter and a physiology senior, to join the organization.

“We both do research related to asthma and [chronic

Public pervert peers at pornography

Feb. 26, 2009 A man was arrested on Feb. 18 at 11:24 a.m.

Police responded to the library in reference to a suspicious man. The person who called the officers said that the man had been viewing pornography on a computer in front of other library patrons, and he found it offensive.

When police arrived on scene and approached the man, he tried to close the window he was viewing the pornography in, but could only minimize it. The man told police that he occasionally comes to campus to watch pornography on the computers, but he did not realize that anyone could see his actions.

A records check of the man showed that he had four misdemeanor warrants, three from the Tucson Police Department and one from the Pima County Sheriff ’s Office.

The warrants were confirmed and the man was taken to the Pima County Jail where he was booked for his warrants.

Sept. 7, 2011 A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a fraternity house at 2 a.m. on Aug. 27 in response to a report of attempted arson.

Officers met with a member of the fraternity who said that a man had poured gasoline all over the back of the fraternity’s yard, door and chair outside. Fraternity members attempted to wash away the gas, but the odor was still strong. He said he never saw the man who did it but referred the officers to a witness.

Officers spoke with another member of the fraternity who said he had been in his room with his window open when he noticed that the air began to “smell like paint thinner.” He looked out the window and saw a man with short blonde hair, jeans and a light blue shirt. The man stared back at him, then turned and ran away. The fraternity member said the man had extreme difficulty getting out of the backyard and seemed to be very drunk.

The fraternity member said he would be able to identify the suspect if he saw him again. There is no further information at this time.

next to her in her bed, with his head at her feet. The woman said she had no idea who the man was or how he ended up in her bed. She said he did not touch her during the night and she was not worried. The man had also peed in the corner of the room.

The officer woke up the man, who said his ex-girlfriend had let him into the building the night before. He was very confused about what happened and didn’t realize he had slept in the wrong bed until the officer told him. The man said he drank an unknown amount of beer before and after he went to work the day before.

The man’s ex-girlfriend, a resident of Maricopa, said he had fallen asleep with her in her bed initially. She said he must have gotten up in the middle of the night and moved to another bed. The man was cited on charges of minor in possession of alcohol and released to his parents, who took him home from the dorm.

The resident who found the man in her bed assured the officer she hadn’t been affected by the situation, she only thought it was very strange.

“In terms of health, we bring in some [preserved] cadaver lungs from healthy lungs and then from smoker lungs. The healthy ones you can see are yellow, and then the other ones are black,” Hurbon said. “The kids get to touch them and they get a real big kick out of that. They can just think back to those lungs and have a reason not to smoke.”

While the size of the audience that

gets to see these black lungs varies from one small classroom to a large assembly, it’s the age group that the national organization is targeting.

“I feel like it’s important to increase awareness to those younger age groups,” Morgan said. “When they grow up, they might be thinking more of the social aspect, so I think if you raise awareness when they are younger, that’s the best way to lower the percentage of smokers in our state.”

Getting through to the students is the biggest payoff of this awareness.

A gun-centered photograph from the “Ghosts” exhibition, currently on display at the UA’s Joseph Gross Gallery. The exhibition features the work of Ralph Ziman, a South African artist working to bring the realities of the African arms trade to light.

AK-47 obsession fires off art inspiration BY: Audrey Molloy

The Daily Wildcat

To call an AK-47 assault rifle an alluring object feels strange. Yet, at South African-born artist Ralph Ziman’s exhibition, “Ghosts,” running Sept.

8 through Nov. 4 at the Joseph Gross Gallery, that is the initial thought that comes to mind.

Featuring several beaded replica AK-47s and accompanied by large-scale, darkly printed and hyper-saturated photographs of men holding nonlethal weapons, the exhibition, despite its charged content, is incredibly quiet.

This is the compelling strangeness of Ziman’s work in “Ghosts”; it displaces the significance of the AK-47 from its global context, but only so far as to transport the underlying tension into a gallery space.

In a statement on his website, Ziman wrote: “The U.N. estimates that there are more than five hundred million small arms in circulation around the world. More than seventy million of those are estimated to be AK-47s. Ninety percent of all casualties in wars around the world are caused by small arms. Eighty percent of those killed are civilians.”

Beginning in 2013 and 2014 out of Johannesburg, South Africa, Ziman’s work addresses the cultural proliferation of the AK-47

as both a violent weapon and as a status symbol.

Imitating the shape of the AK-47, the most common assault rifle worldwide, Ziman’s work recontextualizes the ubiquity of the gun.

“I kind of got obsessed with the idea of making AK-47s out of traditional African bead and wire,” Ziman said. “Initially I had met these guys that make bead and wire sculptures by the side of the road—they do chickens and zebras and all kinds of stuff, it’s very much the medium to sell to tourists— but they’re very beautiful. I said to the guys, ‘Make me an AK47,’ and they started laughing. I thought, ‘Hilarious.’ So we made one or two and then we went back the next week and said, ‘Let’s make some more, let’s make some more.’”

Working with Zimbabwean artists Boas Manzvenga, Panganai Phiri, Lenon Tinarwo, Telmore Masangudza and Kennedy Mwashusha, and with photographer Nic Hofmeyr, Ziman helped to manufacture hundreds of replica AK47 guns using traditional Shona beads and wire, a medium typical in their day-to-day craft. The beaded arms project provided full-time work to the artists for six months and resulted in the production of nearly 300 beaded AK-47s as well as thousands of rounds of beaded ammunition.

“We started by making them with these natural colors and then moved to very ornate colors and patterns, and then we started doing them in groups

of reds, yellows and greens and blues,” Ziman said.

The skill and craft inherent in the creation of these works is unmistakable. Intricate wire and bead is woven and strung tightly around the frame of the gun; each piece is a distinctly precious object. Each gun was crafted over the course of seven full days, and Ziman notes that each replica is particular to the individual who assembled it. No two are alike in pattern, coloring, size or form.

Necessarily disparate from their real-life counterparts, the beaded arms are strangely compelling, yet retain the implied danger of their actual use. This duality is integral to the relation of these works; it delineates the cultural symbolism these guns hold in South Africa while also alluding to their function as an omnipresent accessory.

“In a way, the AK-47 was always a weapon of rebellion and is seen as a symbol of liberation,” Ziman said. “Being back in South Africa in [1991], [1992] … you’d have 10,000 people singing ‘AK47! ta-ta-ta!,’ making this noise. So the AK-47 has always been a kind of a mythic weapon in South Africa.”

As in the U.S. and other Western cultures, there is a pop culture fascination with weapons in South Africa, although Ziman notes that this intrigue is rather different than the understanding of weaponry in the U.S., where common civilians do not walk along the side of the road equipped with

assault rifles.

What is apparent in Ziman’s work is the commonality of such arms. Following the initial exhibition of this work at C.A.V.E. Gallery in Venice, Calif., in Jan. 2014, Ziman returned to South Africa to re-photograph the beaded arms. Traveling in the southeast tribal lands of Ethiopia, bordering northern Kenya and South Sudan, Ziman and his crew photographed people with AK-47s they encountered along the road, replacing their real guns with the beaded arms.

“In a way, they’re very alluring,” Ziman said.

“When you see the pictures, they’re kind of seductive but very dangerous at the same time.

This was a way to explore this whole culture of guns and weapons. And as we got into it I thought, ‘We’ll manufacture these weapons in South Africa and ship them out to the West.’”

In the West, the beaded arms remain an enticing and mythical object, each piece resting on the precipice of inherent danger and artistry. Visitors to “Ghosts” will marvel at the confusing sensation each work engages.

“They do have a deadly beauty,” Ziman said.

“I’ve never had a gun, I’ve never fired a gun, but I thought it was an interesting way to talk about this.”

Colbert’s new show half-baked

BY ALEX FURRIER

The Daily Wildcat

As we move further and further into an Internet-fueled society, television is adapting to avoid becoming a relic. New strategies have been implemented to keep up with kids these days: shows are designed with Netflix binge-watching in mind, and popular shows like “True Detective” and “Mr. Robot” embrace cinematic styles.

For late-night shows, the name of the game is viral content. Jimmy Kimmel’s signature pranks make the Facebook rounds while Jimmy Fallon’s segments are designed to get views on YouTube. This is the environment into which Stephen Colbert strode with his late-night debut last week on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Can Colbert capture the magic that powered “The Colbert Report” to a nightly must-watch? Or will “The Late Show” go the way of modern TV by having only the creme from the top viewed online?

Colbert has big shoes to fill as he succeeds the legendary David Letterman. The most important rule of following something truly great

is to not repeat, and especially not exaggerate, the characteristics of what came before.

Colbert has taken steps to avoid this, beginning with the physical remodeling of the Ed Sullivan Theater.

He has also replaced the house band, led by Jon Batiste of the group Stay Human (now with 100 percent more melodica). Colbert also made the smart move to differ from Letterman by lining up his first week’s guests with politicians.

Coming off the success of “The Colbert Report” provides both an advantage and a challenge: how will Colbert leverage his political muscle while shedding the insane character he played for ten years? It turns out, quite smoothly.

The inaugural show welcomed Jeb Bush as political guest No. 1. Colbert’s interview was clever, funny and interesting—all the things you would hope for in a late-night interview. A lead-in joke with Colbert’s brother in the audience segued into a discussion on the differences between Jeb and George W. Bush.

Colbert’s greatest strength is his skill at interviewing, as his guests look comfortable and at ease with whatever

Colbert slings their way.

Colbert’s interpersonal expertise shows itself in his ability to cater to the strength of his guests combined with a palpable sincerity that underlies his interviews. While interviewing Scarlett Johansson, Colbert focused on personal questions that highlighted her natural charisma, but stuck to topical matters when speaking with the somewhat stiff Elon Musk of SpaceX and Tesla Motors Inc. The highlight of the first week’s show came in an emotional interview with Vice President Joe Biden as he discussed the loss of his son Beau.

Colbert’s explicit empathy and compassion for Biden covered any potential mishaps that could have come from discussing such a personal topic. If the rest of “The Late Show” followed the quality of the Biden interview, it would no doubt be a mustwatch.

Colbert is still finding his footing in the remaining aspects of a late-night show. The monologues grated out as adequate, but most of the bits and gags fell short of desired quality. Many jokes felt like drawn out, one-off hits that were unfortunately pulled into full-on segments. A giant Genghis Khan hat

STEPHEN COLBERT with guest George Clooney on The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

Colbert’s new show falls short in comparison to his old one, The Colbert Report, which ran on Comedy Central.

and, later, a cursed amulet joke should have been throw-aways but took up nearly ten minutes of screen time.

The opening of the debut show summarizes “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” after its first week on air. The opener follows Colbert around the country as he sings the national anthem with everyday folk. It paints Colbert as a man of the people but is ultimately awkward as it feels overly staged. The opener is wellintentioned, but still shows plenty of room to grow.

Once the quality of its late-night responsibilities can catch up to the quality of Colbert’s interviews, “The Late Show” will be worth watching in its entirety. Until then, catch the highlights on YouTube.

Drop the bass: Hippie Sabotage to play Congress

BY Thea Van Gorp The Daily Wildcat

The worlds of trap and rave music have been evolving for years now.

Electronic drum kits and intense bass drops are all things we have become familiar with.

Duo band Hippie Sabotage has not only accepted these aspects of electronic music, but has bent them and made them their playground.

In their music, listeners can hear classic techno beats as well as sexy vocals, hip-hop influences and pretty laid-back vibes. Beginning in the mid-2000s, Hippie Sabotage made beats for rappers like J. Leake and Yukmouth and have continued to grow their own sound based on their hip-hop and electronic experiences.

Hippie Sabotage, a brother band based out of Sacramento, Calif., has continued to make music, creating hits such as “White Tiger” and “Sunny.”

Mostly known for their remix of Tove Lo’s song “Habits (Stay High),” Hippie Sabotage has managed to put a new face to trap and rave music.

Their mood has been described as “nocturnal” and “trippy” by

ALLMUSIC.com and definitely gives a sense of night life. The band’s music is perfect for almost all club venues and definitely fun to listen to with friends. While still having the energetic rush that trap typically does, it is still slow enough that you can just sit back and listen.

Max Smith, an undeclared freshmen at the UA who is going to the band’s upcoming show, said, “Hippie Sabotage seems to be riding the new wave of house/ electronic music. I like it because it is simple enough that everyone can understand and enjoy it.”

Hippie Sabotage fan Allison Zavala also shared her feelings about the band.

“I’ve been listening to them for about a year and a half now,” Zavala wrote in an email. “I usually just listen to them when I’m studying or when I’m in a chilled-out mood.

One of my favorite things about them is that their songs all have the same style, but they also sound completely different at the same time. They’re very recognizable just by their sound.

If I were to ever see them live, I would just expect to be captivated the entire time, and almost in a trance-like state. I think I would love it.”

Courtesy of Hotel Congress

Hippie Sabotage performs on stage at a concert. The EDM group will be performing at Club Congress on Sept. 15 at 8 p.m.

Because of Hippie Sabotage’s recent launch to the top charts, now is a very exciting time to be able to see this band while they are still small enough to hold more intimate shows that won’t empty your wallet.

“I guess I am expecting a young

crowd … loud beats, bright lights and an electronic, indie vibe,” Smith said.

“It’ll be groovy as hell.”

Hippie Sabotage will be playing at Club Congress on Tuesday. Tickets are currently only $12, and the venue is open to all ages.

So if you are looking to enjoy the night life this week, Club Congress is the place to be.

The children’s toy Lego becomes an art-form at the Tucson Botanical Gardens with the traveling “Nature Connects” exhibit

The Daily Wildcat

The Tucson Botanical Gardens will begin its four-month-long exhibit, “Nature Connects, Art with Lego Bricks,” where art meets nature, play and design.

No matter what the age, this event is the perfect place to rekindle your inner child while bringing kids along. Within this event, expect monthly showings of “The Lego Movie” during its Friday Family Movies Nights, a Nextrio LEGO Brick Playroom and a design challenge open to all.

Melissa D’Auria, the director of marketing and communications at the gardens, goes more in depth about the exhibit and how creativity can bring people together.

Background: Sean Kenney is the only independent artist in the world that has produced steel reinforced, fully glued, outdoor grade Lego installations. In 2010, the Philadelphia Zoo commissioned “Creatures of Habitat,” 30 lifesized animals varying from tiny birds to a lifesize polar bear.

The Exhibit: The show consists of approximately 26 sculptures built with Lego pieces, creating 13 individual displays. The show began touring in 2012 and by the end of 2015, will have been seen in 33 venues including the

Saint Louis Zoo, Morton Arboretum, Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Denver Botanic Gardens, San Francisco Zoo and Cape Fear Botanical Garden.

Daily Wildcat: How has Tucson Botanical Gardens enriched Tucson’s environmental identity and what makes it unique?

D’Auria: We offer an environment to learn about the natural world, specifically the unique characteristics of the Southwest. We teach the community and visitors about what and how to plant in the desert environment to bear the most successful, rewarding and responsible garden or landscape.

In depth, can you explain what “Nature Connects, Art with Lego Bricks” is? How did this exhibit begin?

Nature Connects is an award-winning, record-breaking exhibition of beautiful sculptures built entirely with Lego pieces by acclaimed artist Sean Kenney. In partnership with Iowa State University and Sean Kenney Design Inc., “Nature Connects” has been touring botanical gardens, zoos, arboretums and science centers around the world since 2012.

Typically, how many people around the community attend this exhibit every year?

We don’t know since we’ve never had an exhibit of this size. We typically see around 100,000 visitors year round at the Gardens.

We are expecting this exhibit to increase that number dramatically.

What’s the most interesting animal or art sculpture you’ve seen being built?

I think the staff favorite so far is the peacock.

They really are amazing and look so elegant and beautiful in our Garden setting.

Is there anything that the public should know about this exhibit that’s not listed on the website or other places that have advertised this event?

It really is more impressive in person! Each sculpture has a sign that explains a little bit about the depicted animal or plant. In addition to that information the number of Lego bricks and hours it took to create the sculptures are listed, which is really fascinating!

Google logo sans serif is sans allegiance

BY Apoorva Bhaskara The Daily Wildcat

O

n the morning of Sept. 1, I opened up my computer and saw one of Google’s cute little animations on its home page. A hand came in, erased the Google logo and then rewrote it in chalk. It transformed into a blockish-looking font, and I assumed that it was simply a Google doodle that represented some event for the day.

Upon clicking on the animation, I was led to a Google search filled with articles about Google’s new logo.

Surely this must be a joke. Some sort of prank similar to the one Google played on April Fools’ Day 2010, trying to convince the public that the name was changing to

“Topeka.” Google was funny that way.

The next day, to my shock, the sans-serif block letters were still there. Google really had changed its logo to what looked like children’s fridge magnets. As small a change as it may seem, many people felt blindsided by the new logo.

The old logo, which had been relatively unchanged for the last 16 years, with its classic serif font, seems to convey a different meaning to consumers than the new one.

Our generation grew up with the logo and has watched Google become an integral part of our everyday lives.

The old logo was traditional and dignified.

Its consistency was comforting. Google grew its empire as we awed at its ever improving features and technologies. The image, however, was one of those things that we could rely on: Its serifed letters and the old-school loop in the ‘g’ were there as a reminder that Google would be there for us.

The new logo seems childish and far too simplified to represent the vast universe that

is Google.

“Research has shown that consumers can attach to brands in a manner that the brand becomes a ‘loved relationship partner,’” stated Dr. Martin Reimann, assistant professor of marketing at the UA, in an email interview. “If elements that define a brand change, then some consumers could indeed become upset, especially if the change is too dramatic. In the case of Google, only the type font was changed but the unique colors were kept. It is surprising that even such a small change can have a big impact on how [consumers] perceive a brand.”

Perhaps it is unreasonable to become so attached to a logo. Perhaps we are overreacting.

The reasoning behind Google’s big change was to align more with its new parent company, Alphabet Inc. The design team wanted to redesign a simpler, friendlier logo to move into the modern age. The new logo does just that, being almost 50 times smaller (in memory) than the old logo and

being able to scale well on small screens and with low bandwidth.

Companies tend to stick to their logos in order to maintain consistency of image.

Google, however, has changed a lot in the last sixteen years, and it prides itself on being unconventional and progressive.

Google’s design team claims they wanted “a refinement of what makes us Googley, combining the best of the brand our users know and love with thoughtful consideration for how their needs are changing.”

It may take some time, but we can make it through this transition and emerge even stronger than before. Until then, we will mourn the passing of the great and noble logo, may it rest in peace.

Stay Googley, Google.

#NeverForget the health effects of 9/11

BY Maddie Pickens The Daily Wildcat

E

ven 14 years later, the memory of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is still sobering. Each anniversary marks the first major terrorist attack on U.S. soil for hundreds of years, the deaths of nearly 3,000 innocent citizens and the day that became the catalyst for a long and costly war.

When remembering the tragedy, it is customary, and necessary, to give homage to the hundreds of emergency workers and first responders who also gave their lives on that tragic day.

However, many of those first responders are still living and struggling with the medical consequences of their assistance, including both injuries received at the scene

and cancer developed after exposure to toxins at ground zero.

In fact, according to renew911health.org, “Medical research has identified more than 50 types of cancer caused by 9/11 toxins. At least 3,700 people have been diagnosed with cancer that was either caused or made worse by 9/11.”

Those are not the only chronic illnesses to result from the disaster. Many are also suffering from diseases such as asthma, obstructive pulmonary disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease.

More NYPD officers have died from 9/11-related illnesses than actually died on Sept. 11, 2001.

These consequences are the focus of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which was signed in 2011 and provides healthcare and compensation to over 72,000 9/11 survivors and first responders.

However, that legislation is set to expire within days, and there is a disturbing lack

of support for the bill, in particular from Republican presidential candidates.

The most notable part of their silence on the issue, however, stems not from a lack of support for the heroes of one of our country’s most tragic days—though that obviously bears cause for concern. Rather, the most obvious concern stems from the fact that the candidates have no problem declaring their unending patriotism, as long as it is convenient for them.

Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted on Friday: “Today, we reflect and remember all of those who lost their lives on Sept. 11. #NeverForget”.

Sen. Rand Paul tweeted, “Today, we say a prayer for those who lost their lives and their family members. You will never be forgotten.”

Sens. Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham published similar tweets, both echoing the theme of “Never forget.”

However, despite their assurances, many of the presidential frontrunners in the GOP seem to have, in fact, forgotten.

None of them have publicly backed the legislation, despite reminders from lobbying groups and high-profile media figures like Jon Stewart.

In fact, the only candidates to publicly back the bill are Democrats. Sen. Bernie Sanders is actually a co-sponsor of the bill, and Hillary Clinton declared her support through the group Citizens for the Extension of the James Zadroga Act. It seems hypocritical and cold for Republicans to use such a tragedy—one that definitively changed the course of our nation’s history—as a way to boost their image, without actually living up to all their talk.

Voters need to work to hold them accountable, in particular if they want to elect a president who is patriotic not only in words, but also in deeds.

New Apple products fall far from the tree

BY Graham Place The Daily Wildcat

A

pple Inc.’s so-called “Special Event” on Wednesday began with a bold statement from CEO Tim Cook.

“We’re about to make some monster announcements,” he claimed.

There were indeed announcements made, and indeed some of them could be called monstrous.

Monstrously disappointing, maybe.

Apple has long been the archetypal innovative, consumer electronics company.

One could argue that they are the reason we even have consumer electronics companies to begin with. But Wednesday’s uninspired event confirmed that the sun is setting on Apple’s golden era of innovation.

The world changed forever when Apple brought personal computers to the masses.

Portable music was revolutionized when thousands of songs could suddenly fit in an iPod the size of a slim billfold wallet. And of course, the explosion of the iPhone created a world where the entirety of human knowledge fits in our pockets, just a touch away.

The lineup of new products announced Wednesday, showed a distinct lack of such world-changing technology.

Take the iPad Pro, for example. With a larger screen, removable Smart Keyboard and stylus dubbed the “Apple Pencil,” the iPad Pro feels a lot like Microsoft’s Surface Pro, the iPad’s biggest competition.

Or the new Apple TV, which is supposed to be exciting because it now has a motionsensing remote that allows users to play casual social games. That would be exciting, if I were a 10-year-old again and had never heard of the Nintendo Wii. Even the iPhone, without question Apple’s most important (read: profitable) product, lacks any innovative new features. The most impressive hardware upgrade is in the camera; the new iPhones can shoot 4K video, meaning most people can’t even playback their cell phone videos in full quality on their less advanced TVs at home. But not even this notable feature reflects any innovation on Apple’s part. The Samsung Galaxy line has had 4K video capability since 2013.

All of the other announcements made at the Apple event fell somewhere between gimmicky and lifeless—more iPhone colors, an Apple iPhone upgrade plan, new Apple Watch bands and expected processing upgrades.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Apple products.

Wilson’s time to run the offense

BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football is off to a 2-0 start, as expected heading into the season, but it was an uplifting victory for the Wildcats Saturday night as they knocked off Nevada, 44-20.

In their first road test of the year, the Wildcats prevailed behind the efforts of sophomore running back Nick Wilson.

The running back position has devolved into a less valuable asset, unless the conversation is about which one to take in a fantasy football draft.

Running backs are especially depreciated in a system like the infamous spread offense that head coach Rich Rodriguez embraces.

This style of offense doesn’t normally rely on the efforts of the running backs because the thought of utilizing one with four receivers is outrageous.

The topic swarming the program is how great the receiving core is and, in particular, how fantastic Samajie Grant and Cayleb Jones are. It’s the deep receiving cast that separates the Wildcats from the bunch in the Pac-12 Conference.

In reality, Arizona’s offense hasn’t evolved around a receiver since Juron Criner in 2011, the same year Rodriguez was unemployed after getting the boot at Michigan.

Wilson ran for 194 yards against Nevada and added three touchdowns. Wilson ran with a chip on his shoulder and picked up exactly where he left off last season.

This time last year, Wildcats fans were finally discovering who Wilson truly was. It’s easy to be identifiable when attempting to fill the shoes of All-American Ka’Deem Carey.

As the successor to arguably Arizona’s best offensive player ever, the spotlight can be blinding.

Wilson put up two touchdowns against the Wolf Pack last season and made the hangover from Carey a much smoother transition.

Prior to Carey and Wilson, there were Nic Grigsby, Chris Henry and Mike Bell. There has

Tyler Baker/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona running back Nick Wilson (28) darts past a UTSA defender in Arizona Stadium during the Wildcat’s season-opening win on Sept. 3

been a fraternity of marquee running backs pumped through the program, and Rodriguez has continued the running back factory.

While Rodriguez’s offense doesn’t necessarily cater to halfbacks, he is no stranger to relying on one for success.

At West Virginia, for example, Rodriguez had the talented Pat White at quarterback, but tailback Steve Slaton handled the rock for

3,923 yards and 50 touchdowns for the Mountaineers over the course of his career.

The reputation of the spread offense for using numerous receivers and not using a running back is an absolute myth.

The offense has strongly relied on running backs’ performances ever since Rodriguez took the program’s reins.

Wilson has the opportunity to establish his name as nationally

recognized because if he stays healthy, the Wildcats’ offense should feel more comfortable as the team deals with numerous injuries.

As much as Arizona fans want to see the passing offense, the Wildcats’ bread and butter this season will be Nick Wilson.

Of course, this is only if the sophomore running back can stay healthy, and running backs are a dime a dozen.

If the Wildcats can feed Wilson the ball early on and jump out on NAU, Arizona should have smooth sailing next week at home.

Who knows? Maybe Wilson will turn into the Heisman hopeful this season rather than Scooby Wright III or Anu Solomon.

Men’s golf opens in Pebble Beach

BY Chris Deak

The Daily Wildcat

The 2015-2016 Wildcats Men’s Golf team opens up its fall schedule this week at Pebble Beach where it is competing in the St. Mary’s Invitational. This is the first tournament of the year for all schools competing and features programs from the Pac-12 and West Coast Conference.

The Invitational begins early Monday morning and continues through Tuesday and Wednesday. Tee times for all three days are listed as 7:30 a.m.

The Wildcats are coming off a disappointing year where they finished 58-105-1 (.356) as a team. The team is also coming off of a 9th place finish at the Pac-12 Championships last April.

The team, which lost five seniors, will look to rebuild this season. This year Arizona features just one senior, Kolton Lapa, who appeared in more tournaments than any returning player.

The losses of Alex McMahon and Brenden Redfern will be the toughest to replace as the two combined to appear in over 250 rounds for the Wildcats last year. McMahon led the Wildcats with 133 rounds played over the season and led the team by over 50 rounds.

Courtesy of Arizona Athletics

Arizona golfer Max Donohue squats to read the course.

Ricky Lee, another player who graduated this offseason, was third on the team with 70 rounds played.

Sophomore George Cunningham looks to be a leader on the Wildcats’ team this year. As a freshman, Cunningham led the entire team

with an average round score of 71.6. He also finished with six top-10 finishes, the most on the team, and he earned himself second-team Pac-12 honors.

Lapa, the Wildcats’ only senior this season, will undoubtedly be another one of the team

leaders. The Wildcats will rely heavily on the combination of Cunningham and Lapa this year.

Fourth-year coach Jim Andersen is regarded as one of the bright young coaches in the collegiate golf game and has earned himself a reputation as a diligent recruiter.

Andersen will be no stranger to competing with a young team this season. The Wildcats routinely started multiple freshmen in tournaments last season and this season does not appear to be different.

The Wildcats will rely on their sophomores who gained experience last year playing as freshman. Coach Andersen also has two redshirt freshmen at his disposal this year, so look for Andrew Garner and Austin Staedli to see some action this season.

The Wildcats will both look to improve their team matchups as well as their individual success this season. Playing in the Pac-12 provides a treacherous schedule for all of its teams and it is regarded as one of the toughest conferences to compete in.

UA soccer suffers first setback of year

BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat

Zi Yang Lai/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona goal keeper Lainey Burdett (1) dives to block a shot by Pepperdine unsuccessfully on Sunday.

The Wildcats suffered their first loss of the season to No. 14 Pepperdine Sunday afternoon in a game that was shortened due to lightning.

Arizona controlled most of the first half as they outshot the Waves six to three, but neither side was able to score.

Forward Cece Bilginer suffered an injury in the 8th minute and returned to the field in crutches.

Pepperdine came out strong in the second half and scored less than two minutes in.

Arizona goalie Lainey Burdett, who replaced Rachel Estopare at halftime, was unable to hold onto a cross, and Pepperdine midfielder Mikayla Arcebido collected it and knocked it in to give the Waves a 1-0 lead.

The Wildcats did not panic and continued to dominate possession and create scoring chances.

In the 49th minute, Paige Crouch fired a shot from the top left of the penalty box towards the bottom right side of the goal.

The shot just went wide.

Crouch had another opportunity in the 56th minute when Gabi Stoian led her with a beautiful touch pass towards the penalty box. Crouch got to the ball,

ran forward and fired a shot, but it went wide as well.

The Wildcats had seven shots in the second half but they were simply unable to get one into the back of the net.

Lightning in the area prematurely ended the game in the 79th minute and Pepperdine was awarded the 1-0 win while the Wildcats were handed their first loss of the season. It’s a tough break for an Arizona team that was hoping to repeat Friday’s late-game magic.

“I don’t know if we would’ve come back, but when you think back to Friday, we scored with two minutes to go,” Arizona head coach Tony Amato said.

“Our team always fights to the end and we still had 12 minutes to go and we would have liked to finish the game out.”

Arizona may not have gotten a win this weekend, but it wasn’t necessarily a failure for the team. The Wildcats showed they were capable of hanging with some of the best programs in the country.

“I’m proud of my team,” Amato said. “I know we can compete against anyone on any given day and we showed that throughout the two games this weekend.”

Pac-12 recovers in second week

BY Noah Sonnet

The Daily Wildcat

Week one of the college football season gave us a glimpse of which teams were ready for the 20152016 season and which teams will be competing for a national title. A much clearer playoff picture was established this week. Here are some key takeaways: The Pac gets back on track … sort of After a horrible first week in which it seemed the whole conference crumbled under the spotlight, the Pac-12 Conference rebounded this weekend with 10 of the 12 teams winning.

UCLA and USC continued their dominating ways with blow out victories, while ASU, Stanford, Washington and Washington State all got back on track with wins of their own.

The conference still took a major step back in its search for a playoff bid when Oregon lost to Michigan State in a matchup of top-10 teams in what felt like a championship atmosphere.

Oregon State also fell apart in the second half in a loss against a

Michigan team that still has more questions than answers.

The Ducks were within reach the entire game, but the lack of biggame experience from quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. may have been what cost Oregon the game.

Sparty and the Irish taking big leaps Michigan State and Notre Dame came into the season ranked higher than expected and needed to show not only their doubters, but also the playoff committee that they deserve to be in this year’s playoff conversation.

Through two weeks, both teams have no doubt put themselves in the conversation of competing for a national title.

Let’s start with Notre Dame, which pulled out a last second road victory against Virginia at the arm of backup quarterback DeShone Kizer, after starter Malik Zaire went down with an ankle injury.

It was a bittersweet win, as Zaire is now out for the season with a broken ankle. This would be a big blow for any team, but fortunately for the Irish, Notre Dame has plenty of depth.

Meanwhile, Michigan State came

into the season playing second fiddle to Ohio State in the Big Ten Conference and many thought the Spartans would be out of contention for a playoff bid after their matchup against Oregon.

Instead, Michigan State controlled the game right from the beginning as quarterback Connor Cook played lights-out football and the defense held off a late Oregon rally to give even more evidence that they deserve to be in the playoff talks.

This is a team that returned many starters on both sides of the ball and improved significantly on the offensive side of the ball compared to last year.

SEC contenders and pretenders brought to light The SEC had 10 teams ranked in the AP Top 25 last week, including every school in the SEC West. But can that many teams, let alone a whole division, be contenders in the best conference in college football?

We know Alabama, LSU and Georgia will contend for the conference title, but the rest of the conference doesn’t look too convincing.

Auburn needed overtime to beat

Arizona cornerback DaVonte’ Neal (19) gestures to his teammates in Arizona Stadium before the Wildcats’ game against UTSA on Sept. 3.

FCS opponent Jacksonville State.

This is the second straight week in which Auburn has won by only seven points.

Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi State fell in close games that all three should have won, making them more pretenders than contenders. Not to mention, Missouri needed the entire 60 minutes to beat Arkansas State.

Volleyball road trip offers mixed results

BY Ivan Leonard The Daily Wildcat

It was an eventful weekend for the Arizona volleyball team in Long Island, NY, as the No. 13 Wildcats won their first two games before falling to No. 15 Ohio State to close out play in the Blackbird Invitational.

The 2-1 weekend moves Arizona to 8-1 on the season.

The Wildcats started off the invitational on a high note by earning a comeback win against Syracuse.

In the third set of the Syracuse match, Arizona faced a 20-12 deficit before embarking on a 13-3 run to win that set before closing out the set 2518.

Penina Snuka was the offensive catalyst with 45 assists while Tyler Spriggs and Nikki Attea led the Wildcats attack with 14 kills apiece as Arizona handed Syracuse its first loss of the season.

Arizona came into the weekend with the nation’s best defensive hitting percentage at .076 and Syracuse would achieve a clip of .242, the highest of any Wildcat opponent this season.

Arizona would then go on to sweep host LIU Brooklyn 25-19, 25-20, 25-16 to start the season 8-0, its best start since the 12-0 start in 2009. Its victory over LIU Brooklyn was its sixth sweep of the season as Halli Amaro racked up four blocks

and five kills while Mackenzie Kleepspies had a then career high 17 digs.

Spriggs tallied up seven kills while Snuka had 37 assists and nine digs, just narrowly missing her fourth double-double.

Arizona capped off the Blackbird Invitational with its toughest test of the season, a hard fought match with 15th ranked Ohio State that would

end in defeat as the Wildcats fell 3-1 in four sets 25-22, 22-25, 25-22, 29-27.

Mau led the way with a career-high 23 kills while Amaro and Attea each chipped in with 10 kills each for Arizona. Kleepspies topped her career high from earlier that day with 22 digs.

The Wildcats were not playing like their typical selves as they registered 30 errors against

the Buckeyes while posting a season low .173.

Out of the 30 attack errors, 14 were caused by Ohio State blocks as they won the block battle 14-7.

Junior Ohio State libero Valeria León tallied 35 digs against Arizona and would go on to win the Blackbird Invitational Tournament MVP. Arizona was well represented on the AllTournament Team as Mau and Snuka would each earn spots.

While the loss does sting, Arizona will need to rebound as it begins conference play this month in a brutal Pac-12 Conference. With five Pac-12 teams ranked ahead of them and eight overall in the top 25, the Wildcats will have plenty more opportunities this season to prove their mettle.

Conference play begins September 24th against their rivals, No. 10 ASU. The Wildcats will look to avenge their loss to the Buckeyes as they take on the No. 4 Texas Longhorns next weekend to headlight the Wildcat Classic. The Wildcat Classic starts off with Arizona versus New Mexico State at 10a.m. on Friday and conclude nonconference play with a matchup against Savannah State Saturday.

Female Orgasm Facts We receive a lot of questions about female orgasms from our readers. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions and their answers.

How long does it take for women to orgasm?

Also known to many as the “joy button,” the clitoris is a part of the female genitalia and is usually the pleasure center for most women. It is located just under the upper vaginal lips and is about the size of a pea. It has around 8,000 sensory nerve endings which is double the amount compared to the penis! Stimulating the clitoris has been proven to be the most likely way for women to orgasm. The type of satisfying stimulation (pressure, motion, speed, etc.) varies from person to person.

It depends. On average through masturbation, women can reach orgasm in less than four minutes. Reaching orgasm during foreplay and vaginal intercourse is another story. On average it may take 10-20 minutes to reach orgasm, or it may not happen at all.

For college-aged women, estimates show that 40-60% do not typically reach orgasm during sex. How long it takes also depends on how and what is being stimulated. To find out what arouses your partner, all you have to do is ask!

Is the G-spot real?

Where is it?

Any tips for getting women to orgasm?

The existence of a G-spot has been debated among both researchers and women alike. The G-spot is believed to be a very sensitive area behind the front wall of the vagina. For some women, stimulating this area may lead to orgasm, for others it will not.

Communication, patience, foreplay, and practice. Ask her what feels good, have her show you, and do it! Keep in mind women may have different erogenous zones, but the most common way women achieve orgasm is through clitoral stimulation.

• West Nile is a virus that mainly infects birds.

• Mosquitoes that feed on infected birds, take in the virus.

• Mosquitoes can transmit it to other animals and humans they bite later.

• The virus is not passed on person to person.

• Most people who are bitten by mosquitoes are not bitten by an infected mosquito.

• Most people who are bitten by an infected mosquito do not get sick.

• Most people who do get sick get a mild disease.

• Very few people can develop severe disease.

• Mosquitoes are prevalent in Tucson during summer and early fall.

Here are some things that you can do to reduce being bitten by a mosquito: • Limit time outdoors from dusk until dawn.

• Use mosquito repellents that contain DEET. • Check the screening on your windows and doors.

• Wear lightweight, loose-fitting long sleeve shirts and pants whenever possible.
