An analysis by a national economist ranked Tucson third in the country for job growth.

Tucson added 10,400 new jobs in the first three months of 2016.

Compared to adding 2,900 new jobs in 2015, the Tucson metro area has seen an accelerated growth rate.

In a Bloomberg article, economist Jed Kolko analyzed metros with the fastest and slowest growth rates; Tucson was ranked third in America, just below Ogden-Clearfield and Provo-Orem, Utah.

Kolko, who specializes in American cities and future of work, analyzed Bureau of Labor Statistics data in metro areas with 500,000 or more people to compile the list. Both Utah metros saw 4.6 percent job growth, while Tucson expeienced a 4.2 percent increase in jobs between July 2015 and July 2016.

Earlier this year, George Hammond, Eller College of Management economist, and Ross DeVol, Milken Institute chief research officer, hosted the breakfast of economists where they discussed their research and Tucson’s poised economic upturn.

Hammond said that Tucson is well positioned to maintain a high pace of growth, as long as the national economy expands.

Tucson is predicted to grow 1 percent in population size in

UA revises campus tobacco use policy After researching other universities policies, looking into the health effects and public concern, the UA Faculty Senate voted to ban electronic cigarette use on campus

BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120

• E-cigarette use can prevent the enforcement of university tobacco and drug policies.

The UA has added electronic cigarettes to the list of tobacco and nicotine-containing products which are banned from being on campus.

The UA Faculty Senate voted in favor of banning the use of e-cigarettes at their first meeting of the fall semester on Sept. 13. No citations, however, will be given to students violating this law. The law is merely expected to be followed out of respect for the university.

The UA became a smoke and tobaccofree environment on Aug. 25, 2014. The recommendation of banning electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, on campus began in April. Since then, UA task force members have been discussing and researching on this subject.

“I think it was important because there is so little that is known for sure about the health effects of e-cigarettes and the second-hand vapor that they produce,” said Judith Gordon, task force member and associate professor of family and community medicine. “We need to be cautious and careful about whether or not these e-cigarettes are allowed on our campus.”

The task force researched policies at other universities, e-cigarette use among college students and the health effects of e-cigarettes.

The task force’s reasons for banning electronic cigarette use included the following: • E-cigarettes may affect the health and well-being of students, faculty, staff and community members who either use them or are exposed to their vapor.

• E-cigarettes are not proven to be a safe and effective method for quitting smoking.

• E-cigarette use has become a significant public health concern.

“For law enforcement purposes, it’s difficult to discern what’s in these e-cigarettes—you can use a variety of things,” said Tracy Crane, task force member and manager of clinical services from the College of Public Health. “It’s difficult [for] law enforcement to make the judgment of whether one [is] using tobacco products or anything illegal.”

Members of the review task force started the effort is an attempt to be better safe than sorry. As of now, 11 out of 15 Arizona Board of Regents-identified peer universities have banned e-cigarette use, according to task force findings.

“The little research that has been done seems to indicate the that the ingredients in e-cigarette liquid and the vapor that is produced can be very harmful to health,” Gordon said. “Until we really know whether the use of e-cigarettes and the second-hand vapor are harmless, we need to be cautious about allowing those potentially toxic ingredients to be on campus and inhaled by bystanders.”

Clark Lantz, UA public health and cellular and molecular medicine professor, said that his role in the task force consisted of studying what happens with chemicals in e-cigarettes and human exposure to them.

“I think that some of the concerns were that people that weren’t even using the e-cigarettes could be exposed to the constituents that were in them,” Lantz said.

“There are thousands of different additives in these e-cigarettes and they all haven’t been tested for toxicity, so we don’t know what

adverse health effects they might have.”

There are more than 450 different e-cigarette products with greater than 7,500 flavors available for sale, which are mostly of unknown toxicity.

Regulation is often limited by the FDA, due to lack of knowledge of direct toxicity, according to the task force findings.

to use conventional tobacco products and if e-cigarettes are an effective method to quitting smoking,” Gordon said. “Sixty years ago, people thought smoking cigarettes was a healthy thing to do—you could even see physicians in advertisements for cigarettes at that time. It wasn’t until the 1950s that we started to realize how incredibly harmful smoking was and it wasn’t until later that we realized that second-hand smoke was extremely harmful to people. Until we know for sure, we really need to be cautious.”

UAPD policy tries to take fear out of calling 911 The Good Samaritan policy allows students to call UAPD for help during instances of underage drinking

BY JESSICA SURIANO @jessicasuriano

The University of Arizona Police Department implemented the Good Samaritan policy last spring in an attempt to lessen students’ fear of calling for help when an underage student is dangerously intoxicated.

“The goal of the policy is to encourage students to do the right thing and take care of each other and make sure that they’re not thinking about repercussions like potential MIPs [minor in possession] that will prevent them from helping other students that might require medical attention,” said UAPD Public Information Officer Rene Hernandez.

Hernandez said that if a student uses the Good Samaritan policy, they will still be referred to the Dean of Students after he or she receives medical attention. The Dean of Students will then make sure to provide students with any resources they may need regarding the situation.

“The Good Samaritan policy on campus I think has changed the perceptions of students calling 911,” said Samantha Roberts, chief of University Emergency Medical Services Roberts said in the past when she would show up at a scene, students would not want to talk to her because of her uniform and the way she looked because they feared getting in trouble. She said she has not seen that reaction so far this year toward herself or the police.

“I think it’s successful in taking the fear out of calling 911,” Roberts said. “People need to understand that yes, there are consequences for their actions, but none of those consequences should overshadow them if they need medical care or help with safety in any way.”

Roberts said she thinks that campus is seeing the effects of the policy more culturally than statistically.

“I don’t think it has drastically increased our call volume, although this has been a year of record highs,” Roberts said.

Roberts provided statistics below about the alcohol-related calls and transports that took place last semester and throughout the entire 2015-2016 school year.

In the half of August 2016 that University Emergency Medical Services was in service, Roberts said they received 60 calls within the first 15 days. Out of those 60 calls, 21 of them were categorized as

“altered mental status,” which can be alcohol or drug-related or both.

Alex Totillo, a psychology senior said she thinks that people might always be scared to call the police, but the Good Samaritan policy seems like it has good intentions regardless.

“We speak to every incoming freshman class at orientation and let them know about this policy,” Hernandez said. “We want to make sure that they’re actually taking advantage of this program not only to help themselves, but also to help a friend.”

Whether or not the Good Samaritan policy will start being used outside the university and at the Tucson Police Department depends on the need for the policy and if the spread of the policy is a viable option for TPD, according to Hernandez.

“We want to be transparent here at the UA,” Hernandez said. “We’re not here to punish students—we want to make sure they succeed here at the UA.”

In the Spring 2016 semester: • 276 calls were made to University Emergency Medical Services • 70 of these calls were due to an alcohol-related event.

• Out of UEMS’ 92 transports, 38 of them were because of alcoholrelated events • 36 of those alcohol-related transports resulted in basic life support treatment • Two alcohol-related transports resulted in advanced life support treatment.

If you are worried about a friend being too drunk, call 911. It’s the right thing to do.

What happens if you get caught drinking at a UA football game?

Whether you are 18 or 81, anyone whose behavior violates stadium policy (drinking, fighting, etc.) and attracts the attention of police will be asked to leave the game. Impaired fans may be cited and released to a responsible (and sober) friend or family member. Highly intoxicated fans may be taken to a hospital. The safety and welfare of the drinker is the top priority.

Drinkers under the age of 21 may be cited for a MIP (Minor in Possession) which means that alcohol is found on the person, or in the body. Students will also be cited for violation of the UA code of conduct and referred to the Dean of Students. In lieu of an MIP citation, students may be assigned to a diversion program on campus.

When disruptive action, illegal behavior, or other misconduct is involved (fueled by alcohol

consumption or not), the fan’s ticket is taken and they are not allowed back in the game. People clearly out of control or violent may be arrested and taken to jail. Fans seeking a non-confrontational response to an issue with other fans may text their concerns and the exact Section, Row, and Seat information to gameops@arizona.edu.

Appropriate stadium personnel will arrive to address concerns.

Police and security officers are positioned throughout Arizona stadium to keep a close eye on fan behavior. Some officers survey the stands with binoculars while others walk about, observing actions that might threaten the safety of others.

They are not out to ruin anyone’s fun.

Police officers serve, protect, and work in partnership with the community to make the game experience safer and better for everyone in attendance.

UA med receives innovative imaging tech In collaboration with the medical imaging company Cubresa Inc., the UA Department of Medical Imaging was selected as the first institution to receive NuPET, a device simultaneously using a PET and MRI scanner to identify issues

BY SHAQ DAVIS @ShaqDavis1

The UA’s Department of Medical Imaging has been selected as the first U.S. institution to have new imaging technology that will help identify the characteristics of different diseases.

The UA is collaborating with Cubresa Inc., the medical imaging company that made the device called NuPET. The system is set to help doctors observe their patient using Position Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging simultaneously, which has never been done before.

The two methods work together to bring greater precision when diagnosing patients, like those who may have a potentially cancerous tumor. The MRI method shows how the tumor reacts to glucose, a nutrient said to make cancerous tumors grow, while the PET image analysis would help by showing how much glucose it is actually consuming.

Marty Pagel, associate professor of medical imaging and director of the Contrast Agent Molecular Laboratory, said using only a single imaging technology makes for a hard diagnosis, which is difficult because of changing bodies.

“We have a problem in the radiology field that we very often just get one type of image and then make a diagnosis,” Pagel said. “If I get an image and it has

a certain kind of brightness, it’s really difficult to say, ‘oh that’s because of the acid content or because of the enzymes or because of another property.’”

Julio Cárdenas-Rodríguez, a research assistant professor of biomedical engineering, said the objective is precision.

“The ultimate goal of all these things is specificity,” he said.

“You cannot get that alone with PET or alone with MRI—you have to combine them to be more specific.”

Cárdenas-Rodríguez also said that the new technology will allow the cancer center to receive a patient’s image quickly because they can acquire it simultaneously.

“I would say the UA’s medical imaging capability and reputation is well known in the country,” said Cubresa President and CEO George Abe. “While the hospital is focused on providing care to the regional population, the university’s researchers, like [Pagel] are known for driving new technolog—new capabilities in molecular imaging—especially associated with cancer.”

This research partnership between the UA and Cubresa Inc. started at a medical trade show a couple years ago that Pagel and Cubresa attended.

“From the get-go Marty was a real innovative guy and had a vision for how he wanted to combine PET and MRI imaging technology to work on the cancer imaging techniques he’s developing in his lab,”

Simpson said Cubresa learned of his need for combining the technologies and began further discussions and ultimately entered into a research collaboration arrangement with the university with Pagel being the key lead on the UA side.

Pagel said he likes to work with experienced companies that have a research-oriented leadership team and have been in the laboratory before.

“As an industry partner we collaborate a lot with these leading scientists to help develop and validate new, future medical applications,” Abe said.

It’s the collaboration like that of the UA and Cubresa Inc.

that creates new technologies, according to Abe. He said the implementation of the technology is just the first step to a longer partnership with one important goal.

“Even though the installation was an important milestone, this collaboration is ongoing and will be multi-year,” Abe said. “It’s all about saving lives.”

POLICE BEAT

BY AMANDA OIEN @amanda_oien

Not a good look A UAPD officer responded to a report of a female who was unconscious in her room at Highland La Paz on Sept. 7 at approximately 1:00 a.m. When the officer arrived, Tucson Fire Department was already on the scene.

The UA student required assistance to sit up and would fall over onto her bed if she was not supported, according to police. The student’s speech was slurred and, according to police, said she was in Seattle, Arizona at the Hub apartments.

The student’s eyes were red and watery and she was not speaking coherently. Her friend, who called UAPD, said they had been drinking at a party but it was unknown whether her friend consumed unknown alcohol when they were not together. While the friend was crying and upset, the officer noticed a moderate odor of intoxicants from her breath, but because she reported the situation to UAPD, she did not receive a minor in possession.

TFD medically cleared the student and, while the officer stood in the doorway, the student was laying on the floor. According to police, she had been throwing up and had vomit on her face and was not responding to her friend’s questions. Later that day, the officer followed up with the student. She said she was feeling better and had attended a Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity party and was taking shots of vodka. The UA student was issued a diversion for minor in possession.

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to Coronado Residence Hall in reference to an odor of marijuana coming from a room on Sept. 8. The UAPD officer entered the building and smelled marijuana and cologne. The residence assistant had reported hearing the toilet flushed three times.

A male answered the door to the room promptly with three other males in the room.

Two males admitted to smoking off campus regularly but did not bring it in the dorm and did not have any paraphernalia. One roommate said he went to the bathroom and only flushed the toilet once when police asked why the toilet was flushed multiple times.

Once consenting to a search of the room, the UAPD officer saw tobacco flakes in the trash and found a brown paper bag with dogpatterned baggies inside. According to police, the officer could smell marijuana from the baggies. Another UAPD officer helped search the room and found a Fruity Pebbles cereal box with 11 Cigarillo packages inside. The officer also found a Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal box with two dog-patterned baggies inside, just like the others.

Officers checked the bathroom where the odor of marijuana and cologne were strong and found a small amount of tobacco flakes on the floor. The students were diverted to the Dean of Students for possession of drug paraphernalia.

JOB GROWTH

• Adding one year of education out of high school can translate to a 17.8 percent-increase in real wages

2017 and 0.6 percent throughout the current year, according to Hammond.

Hammond said Tucson’s job market is dynamic and not every sector shares in the economic gains. Over the beginning of the year, the number of jobs in Tucson’s natural resource industries decreased because copper prices contributed to mine losses.

Education and health services, along with financial activities and professional services, employed the newest workers. Other industries, such as hospitality, government employment and manufacturing, made small gains according to Hammond.

DeVol said the concentration of talent attracts firms and generates job growth in the long term.

Here are some takeaways from Devol’s research and presentation given at the Breakfast with economists:

• Tucson currently ranks 90th in 261 metropolitan areas for the percentage of the workforce with bachelor’s degrees.

Although this ranking has decreased in recent years, Tucson’s economic success is tied to educational obtainment

FROM PAGE 1

• Even with the UA, Tucson—along with the rest of the state—ranks 29th in a human capital measure examining ‘home grown’ capital. Arizona attracts skilled labor but does not self-sustainably educate its own residents to fill the skilled jobs being created Wildcat alumni Daniel Martin Dicochea, said the Eller College of Management draws business talent from around the state, the country and even around the world—all of which adds to the local economy.

Dicochea is the CEO of a company called WorkSphere, which was founded on campus and won the 2016 McGuire New Venture Competition and Showcase.

After traveling around the country with his company and visiting many business schools, Dicochea said it was clear Eller is one of the top business schools in the country and the resources they connected his company to contributed immensely to its success.

WorkSphere’s software began as an employee-tracking app but evolved into a platform for businesses to securely manage their employees and their work through smartphones.

Having the experience of running a company, Dicochea said there is a lot of opportunity for investment in the current market.

He said there is always a balancing of risk versus reward when adding or creating new jobs or expanding a business, and currently Tucson’s economy is favoring more risk and

expansion.

Increased growth often amplifies current challenges. The American Society of Civil Engineers’ 2015 American Infrastructure Report Card awarded Arizona a C grade in infrastructure.

While a C is higher than the national D+ grade, increased growth will further strain infrastructure.

On their website the ASCE said investing in infrastructure allowed Arizona to grow, and continued investment is necessary to maintain its growth, like the boom of jobs in Tucson.

With a decrease in federal funds coming to the state, Tucson will need to look to the state House and its own pocketbook in order to make these investments in roads and other structure projects.

Tucson’s economy is experiencing a significant job growth, which Hammond predicted will continue. Population growth and increased pressure on infrastructure are expected to occur alongside this, according to the ASCE.

UA creates new faculty-geared directory Around 2,500 faculty and staff profiles will be available to the UA community when UA Profiles launches Oct. 1. The new directory is meant to give the public more access to the university’s academic history and work

BY MICHELLE JAQUETTE @MichelleJaquet

The public will soon have more access to the academic history of UA faculty when a new directory known as UA Profiles publicly launches on Oct. 1.

The new archival directory gives “a broader location for the community at large to be able to learn more about our faculty and other academic professionals who are at the university,” said Maliaca Oxnam, associate librarian and UA Vitae project manager.

Currently, UA Profiles is available to students and staff with a NetID. Information is currently available on about 2,500 faculty and staff who have already approved their profiles.

Profiles contain biographical information such as work and education history, a list of courses taught at the university level, academic interests and scholarly contributions from journal publications to keynote presentations.

UA Profiles will not replace the UA Phonebook, which currently lists titles and contact info for current university employees. It will, however, supplement these with a “more info” link that will take users to the faculty’s UA profile.

The target audience for the site includes students looking for scholars to collaborate with or perhaps to take

courses from, and also community members looking for an expert in a certain field, according to Oxnam.

Creators of the site are also hopeful that UA Profiles will help facilitate corporate collaborations and sponsorships.

Corporate sponsorships are a key part of UA’s strategic plan, Never Settle. The UA unit created to help commercialize UA inventions, Tech Launch Arizona, has seen increasing success since its creation in 2012.

Paul Tumarkin, the senior manager for marketing and communications at TLA, said in an email that he sees “a tool like UA Profiles being very useful.”

“As we work to bring the inventions of the UA from the lab to the marketplace, we are keenly aware that the ultimate resource needed to help us achieve our goals is people,” Tumarkin said.

In an effort to make the input of the information into UA Profiles easier for faculty, the new directory pulls from information already input by faculty from UA’s online performance review program, UA Vitae.

UA professionals like Oxnam have helped colleges switch their annual faculty performance reviews from paperbased systems to UA Vitae since 2013.

A future use for UA Profiles may be the input of graduate student profiles.

The UA Graduate College is currently in

discussion about creating a process for graduate students to demonstrate their work on the site.

While UA@Work reported in August that graduate students would be added to the directory in the coming academic year, Andrew Carnie, dean of the

Graduate College, said in an email that this announcement was premature.

“We’re at least a year—probably more— away from having the facilities up and running that would allow us to do that,” Carnie said. “So at this time adding grad students to UA profiles is on hold.”

THE UA WOMEN’S SOCCER team huddles before their match against Northern Illinois on Friday, Sept. 8. The UA athletics department and department of mathematics are working together to improve athletes’ performance by developing a sports statistics research program.

sports organizations keep detailed statistics to track athletic performance; such meticulous data collection is rare in college sports.

“There are hardly any universities doing this kind of thing,” said David Rockoff, a Ph.D. student in UA’s graduate interdisciplinary degree program. “Just in the past decade or so, sports analytics has gotten to be big at the pro level, but what we’re doing is somewhat groundbreaking at the college level.”

Rockoff helped initiate a relationship between the department of athletics and mathematics along with Moysey Brio, GIDP chair of applied mathematics, Joe Watkins, GIDP chair of statistics, and Ashley Brio, an engineer at Raytheon and affiliate member of the mathematics department.

“I went with [Brio and Watkins] to go and talk to the head of the athletics department, Greg Byrne, and try and convince him that we might be of some service,” Rockoff said. “He invited us to talk at the coaches meeting for a couple minutes, just to see if we could get anyone on board, and we did.”

Rockoff noted that the program was initially proposed by Brio and Watkins, who reached out to Rockoff because they knew he was interested in sports analytics.

The end goals of the sports analytics program are twofold. One goal is to give Wildcat athletes a competitive edge on their road to national championships, and the other is to expose undergraduates to the field of statistics, which has limitless applications outside the world of sports.

“I’m a math major, and I actually found out about this research through the

department email list,” said Alex Stoken, a math and physics sophomore who works on the project. “I’ve been playing golf since before I could walk and I’ve tried to keep up with the recent statistical advances in the game, so when I saw this opportunity while I was scrolling through the weekly email, I knew I had to apply.”

Specific statistical analysis techniques vary slightly from sport to sport. Rockoff ’s work with the women’s soccer team, for example, involves extensive video analysis of individual events such as passes, throwins and penalty kicks. Stoken’s research on men’s golf statistics, however, involves a different approach.

“On a day-to-day basis,” Stoken said, “The research looks a lot like scrolling through the web to find solid data. Then we work with statistics software called R to search for trends in the data; a lot of this is trial and error.”

As with research in any field, sports statistics research can lead to exciting discoveries that compel investigators to carry on with their work.

“The best part is when we make some plots and see things that we don’t expect,” Stoken said. “Then things really get interesting.”

The researchers expect the sports statistics research program to grow going forward, partnering with more varsity sports teams and increasing its number of participants.

“In the future, we may be looking to expand and create more teams that have a mix of skill sets,” Rockoff said. “Each team might consist of someone with a stats background, someone with a programming background and an actual athlete from the team we’re working with.”

“They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.

They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

This is a level of bigotry rarely seen in a presidential election, where the prevalent strategy is to avoid upsetting as many as possible in order to not lose votes. Trump’s rather frank comments have, in fact, earned him a significant number of die-hard fans who believe that his “say it like it is” attitude is exactly what American needs.

The Daily Wildcat Editorial Policy Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

It’s possible to have this attitude without marginalizing large groups of people. If you want a candidate who will tell you what he thinks without accusing innocent people of being rapists and drug dealers, vote Cthulhu.

Cthulhu sincerely believes that every person should be considered and be treated as an equal.

“Americans want leadership with confidence,” Cthulhu, the Great Old One, said. “Name-calling [people] belies an insecurity of character that you will not find with Cthulhu as your president.

Instead of dividing Americans by tossing my political opponents into a basket of deplorables, I resolutely

want to place every human into a basket of edibles.”

While this stance may be somewhat unique in the race, it’s a clear and definitive example of the candidate “telling it like it is”.

So remember when you vote this November—please remember to vote this November—don’t simply choose the lesser of evils. Vote for the candidate you believe will lead this country into the future.

The person—or immortal deity—that you think is the best bet for protecting the interests of the high cult, who will bridge the gaps and who will promote the common destiny of all people.

This November, vote Cthulhu.

The art of being a college activist Activism in college has a lot of challenges, especially within the weird politics of today

BY JULIAN CARDENAS @DailyWildcat

T

he UA is home to thousands of amazing students from all over the world. This diverse group also has strong activist tendencies, but with so many different opinions, it’s easy to get lost.

People flock to our school because of the academics, the student life and, of course, our weather. These, however, are not the only reasons why people love the UA. Many people love and respect our school because of the endless amount of diversity that thrives on campus.

Every day, as we walk to class, we are surrounded with Republicans, Democrats, theists, atheists, tall people, short people, young people, older people, people who like the color blue and people who do not.

Everyone is represented on campus, in one way or another.

As one progresses through their college career, they will find themselves rubbing

elbows with amazing, interesting people who have lived lives that are completely different to their own.

The fact that we are able to attend a school where diversity is embraced is awesome, and it’s a luxury not many people get to enjoy. We learn to love people and their differences, always respecting each other because of our mutual love and respect for our school.

The UA is like a delicious salad, composed of many individual and different parts that come together to form a perfect union.

However, just because we all attend the same school doesn’t mean that we might all agree on the same things. The salad might be great as a whole, but one individual piece of lettuce does not taste the same as the entire mix of ingredients.

Being diverse means having differences.

No two people have the same opinion, regardless of how similar they are to one another. Opinions vary individually.

How does one handle being extremely opinionated or passionate about a certain topic without enraging someone else? Should we not care about hurting

each other’s feelings for the sake of our cause? Is there a way to be both opinionated and respectful?

Being an activist in college can be an extremely frustrating position to be in.

It’s hard to be respectful of everyone while trying to share your specific opinion or belief.

Everything we mutter out loud can be misinterpreted, especially if we fail to intelligently present ideas. If you’re willing to debate or argue about a certain topic, you must be willing to do so intelligently and without resorting to insults and jabs.

Of course, there will be many people who may believe they don’t care if they receive negative retaliation. There are people who are willing to do and say whatever it takes to establish and support their cause, without regard for what others think. These people are failing to understand the many reasons colleges and universities exist around the world: Sure, these institutions exist to educate, but they also exist to get people connected and comfortable around others. If you don’t care what bridges you have to burn in order to support your cause, then you’re

not able to fully connect yourself with the many people and resources a university or college has to offer.

We live in a world where respecting each other is a necessity. Although we see endless examples of people tearing each other to shreds in the media, we must always understand that part of attending college means gaining the ability to work with others without making them uncomfortable or forcing your ideas or beliefs onto them.

College prepares us for the real world.

Once we move on and out of this campus, we will be expected to interact with people who may have drastically different ideas and opinions than us. We must, as educated citizens of the world, never treat each other with disrespect.

College is about learning to share your thoughts in academic and intellectual ways—not by insulting each other. The best way activists can rightfully express themselves and emphasize their validity is by presenting civil and educated arguments. An activist that’s rowdy and doesn’t understand what they’re trying to do causes noise without substance.

The UA is failing students with dietary restrictions

A

variety of restaurants on campus allow students to have countless options to eat, but all is not what meets the eye—or fills the plate.

The UA offers students over 35 locations on campus to purchase food, but when you’re trying to count calories and control what you eat, options quickly become limited.

The UA’s two student unions house fast food chains as the majority of their options.

It’s great to have Panda Express and Chickfil-A every now and then, but students living on campus often rely on the student unions for one or two meals a day.

College is often the first time students are free to make choices for themselves, and many students want to maintain a balanced diet or don’t always want to eat fast food.

Many students who rely on the student unions for food are just learning how to make healthy choices and how to budget money for food. The UA is putting them at a disadvantage by giving them fast food choices and serving overpriced food.

I find myself eating more at home or packing food to avoid getting tired of eating the food at the student union.

I was once a bright-eyed freshman who found a whole new world where I could eat fast food every day, and now I can now barely stomach some of the fast food from the student union.

I’d much rather have cafeterias where meals change daily or weekly and have healthier options for students learning to balance their lives away from home.

UA alumna lands major acting roles in Chicago

‘Dress for the fun side of life’ at Tucson Thrift Shop on Fourth Ave.

BY NATASHA CASTANEDO @DailyWildcat

Tucson is full of hidden gems when it comes to all things thrifting. But the eyecatching store front of the Tucson Thrift Shop stands apart from the rest.

Proudly situated on the Old Pueblo’s unique Fourth Avenue, the shop adds its own colorful footprint to the already vibrant street.

Built in 1979, the Tucson Thrift Shop has been a clothing staple of the Tucson community for over 37 years.

“It has evolved [and] its been a store that has totally responded to the community and followed the needs of our customers,” said owner Arlene Leaf. “That’s why we’ve been here for 37 years.”

The Tucson Thrift Shop was originally started by Leaf’s father, who had cancer and was looking to give back to the City of Hope treatment center for aiding him throughout his battle with the disease.

An accidental fire forced the thrift shop to move to the other side of Fourth Avenue

at its current residence. The store has since evolved into a thriving local business.

With one-of-a-kind clothing filling every possible nook and cranny, the thrift shop feels very reminiscent of a different era.

The store specializes in ‘70s clothing, but there truly is something for everyone to find there, according to Leaf.

“I do specialize in the ‘70s, but I think it’s the variety of clothes here that makes us different from other thrift stores,” Leaf said.

“All we do is keep adding to the collection— we never really get rid of anything.”

This much is apparent when you walk inside. The shop itself is jam-packed with wigs, shoes, jewelry and clothing sections organized by era. This eclectic variety makes the Tucson Thrift Shop the perfect place to go shopping for Halloween—or any occasion. With a wonderful mix of old and new, this hybrid thrift store has it all.

The motto of the Tucson Thrift Shop is “dressing for the fun side of life.” The store’s environment couldn’t have communicated that mantra any more.

The colorful hospitality that awaits the customers is infectious. You can’t help but

smile when pillaging through the store’s unique articles of clothing, adorned by funky patterns and bright colors.

Don’t worry if you feel a little lost when you first visit the massive store. The Tucson Thrift Shop makes sure to go above and beyond for its customers to find the perfect outfit or costume.

“I was raised in a store where it was all about customer service and helping people to find out what they wanted,” Leaf said. “So I see us as tour guides because when you come in, it is overwhelming. And I want to make sure that the people who come here leave with what they envisioned.”

The amount of clothing to choose from here is truly astonishing, but the best part is that it is all for an affordable price that is just right for a college student budget.

The Tucson Thrift Shop makes an ideal store for creating individual Halloween costumes, fulfilling themed-party needs or just a cool new place to shop.

Having successfully creating its own niche in the thrifting world, the Tucson Thrift Shop is definitely a place worth looking into.

Cecilia Lole has been anything but a starving artist since she graduated from UA with a BFA in musical theatre.

She has been everything from Ariel to the Ghost of Christmas Past in theaters all across the country, though.

“I was in a production of ‘Aida’ at Valley Youth Theatre in Phoenix when I was a freshman in high school,” Lole said. “[That’s] when I realized I wanted to do this for the rest of my life.”

In the last year, Lole moved to Chicago and signed with Gray Talent Group. She has landed major roles all over the immensely theatrical city. Haunting audiences, she played the Ghost of Christmas Past at Quest Theatre Ensemble’s showing of “A Christmas Carol” and Olive in “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” at Steel Beam Theatre.

Lole idolized Julie Andrews as a child, but now Laura Benanti, Kelli O’Hara, Audra McDonald, Sierra Boggess and Kristin Chenoweth now inspire her.

“They are consistently pushing the envelope and raising the bar while staying true to themselves,” Lole said.

This summer, Lole had a stint in Grand Lake, Colorado at the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre, where she was ensemble in “Rock of Ages,” Caroline in “Titanic: The Musical” and Ariel in “The Little Mermaid.”

This February, Lole will play Johanna in Paramount Theatre’s production of “Sweeney Todd” in Aurora, Illinois. Lole’s booming vocals and radiant stage presence will surely not disappoint any audiences.

Her somewhat eclectic choices for roles that she would love to play one day give some insight into her acting style and inspiration.

“Dream roles would be Clara in ‘Light in the Piazza’ or Miranda in ‘The Tempest.’”

Lole—perhaps as all actors do—wants to ultimately end up in New York, the pinnacle of stage acting. But she said she is thoroughly enjoying her time in Chicago and will let her talent and charisma take her where it will.

“My favorite part about this career is that you can never really plan where you’re going to end up—you have to be OK with letting life take you where it will.”

Saguaro cacti bring danger, beauty to the Old Pueblo

BY SARAH BRIGGS

@ SarahBriggs11

When people think of Arizona, they think of desert—a dry, lifeless wasteland of a desert. This could not be farther from the truth.

The Sonoran Desert is in reality a thriving life source, bountiful with different sorts of plant and animal life.

“The plant life in Tucson is amazing because of its diversity,” said marketing senior Cameron Greene.

“The plant life comes in all different shapes and sizes.”

Greene went on to say that the cacti, specifically in Tucson, are some of the most interesting living creatures in the world.

A magnificent thing about Tucson is that it is home to the nation’s largest cactus, the Saguaro. The massive cactus remains one of the universal symbols of the American west.

About 30 minutes away from the UA resides Saguaro National Park, which provides these breath-taking cacti for visitors and hikers alike to come and see.

“Saguaro cacti here are awesome because Tucson is really one of the only places left in the world to see them,” said pre-business junior Brad Friedman.

Saguaros can often grow to be over 70 feet tall and, while they are not only native to Arizona, the Saguaro blossom remains the state of Arizona’s recognized wildflower.

“The plant life in Arizona adds to [Tucson’s] cool aesthetics and brightens up the architecture around Tucson,” Friedman said.

Cacti are ultimately what describes Tucson in a nutshell. They are beautiful, dangerous and love the heat.

“The plant life in Tucson is unlike all other places in the world because it is full of amazing different sorts of cacti,” said pre-computer science junior Sam Flynn.

Some other common Tucson cacti include the fishhook barrel, the golden barrel and Palmer’s Agave, which can all be found in the UA’s Krutch Garden located in front of Old Main.

“Cacti are such a beautiful part of the desert and especially the UA,” Greene said. “They bring green to the environment, all while highlighting Tucson’s natural beauty.”

The cactus garden at the UA is home to over 600 different plant species.

The Sonoran Desert can definitely seem harsh at times, but when people really look at the magnificence behind its cacti, it is incredibly thrilling.

These native plants have adapted to an extremely hot environment with very little water. On top of that, these cacti thrive in this environment and often bloom.

The phrase “bloom where you are planted” takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to different sorts of cacti here in Tucson.

“What makes cacti so special is its ability to survive in such harsh and dry conditions,” Greene said. “Some of the cacti here are so fine-tuned to the environment that they can only be found here in southern Arizona, such as the Saguaro.”

“Cacti are extremely beautiful because each one of them has a lot of history, which makes them diverse and essential for Tucson,” Flynn said.

While people may think that Tucson is nothing more than just a desert wasteland, the abundance of different sorts of cacti help keep the Sonoran Desert thriving with life and beauty.

UA alumnus-turned-artist back in his Tucson roots

BY KRISTI RUCKER @DailyWildcat

For artist Joe Forkan, it’s hard to say if his most recent showing at the UA Museum of Art, “The Lebowski Cycle,” is more of a homecoming or a career coming full circle.

The 1989 UA graduate credits much of his artistic know-how to the time he spent here at the university.

And now, 27 years later, Forkan is back at the university that refined him, the town he grew up in and the museum he drew inspiration from— not as a student, citizen or patron, but rather an artist showing his work.

Forkan’s current UAMA exhibition, on display until Sept.

25, draws its inspiration from a mix of the cult-classic movie “The Big Lebowski,” and masterpieces of European art, according to the the museum’s website. UAMA will also host an Artist Talk evemt with Forkan on Sept. 15 at 5:30 p.m., where he will talk about the process of creating “The Lebowski Cycle.”

The event is free for all UA students, faculty, staff, anyone under

the age of 18 and military or tribal members with a valid I.D. Forkan was born in New York, but like many from the East Coast, Arizona’s weather brought his family to Tucson.

He started expressing an interest in art at a young age—he liked drawing cartons and comics.

Forkan and his siblings would have drawing competitions, but as they got older, his siblings stopped drawing. He continued.

Forkan was the first person in his family to attend college. Growing up in Tucson, he visited UA and said it was a “no-brainer” for him to go to school here.

He didn’t even consider applying to another university.

“Since UA has such a big presence in Tucson, I always assumed I would go there,” Forkan said.

During one of his many visits to the UA campus, he went to UAMA— his first museum experience.

Forkan drew comic strips in high school and in college “[grew] his chops” as a cartoonist here at the Daily Wildcat, developing his style and getting lots of illustration

exposure along the way.

He wanted to be in the art world and wanted to do many forms of art, but Forkan said he wasn’t sure how to pick just one.

While illustrating at the Wildcat, Forkan’s cartoon strips focused on college life and current events.

He said his college experience wasn’t typical, but it made for great stories.

He not only drew cartoon strips, but also illustrated editorial and panel cartoons. Forkan said his time at the Wildcat taught him to use illustrations to better tell stories.

The UA had a huge impact on his artistic style and development.

At the time, in the College of Fine Arts, there was a big separation between illustration and fine art.

“There was a lot of scrutiny from my illustration professor if I was doing fine art and visa versa,” Forkan said. “This forced me to be able to defend my work and get better all the time, since there was critiques in all directions about what I was doing.”

Forkan—now a professor of art at California State University, Fullerton—is thrilled to show his art

at UAMA, the place where he said his career started.

He said his work is “something that came out of my time at UA—my education there.”

“The Lebowski Cycle” is Forkan’s biggest body of work to date—both collection and physical size wise, it is huge.

At his Art Talk, Forkan will talk about formal, technical and conceptual aspects of how he created these work, among other things.

“The work changes as you make it, and you change as you make it and your ideas change and grow,” Forkan said. “If they didn’t, it would be really boring.”

Dawkins, defense leave Wildcats with unanswered questions after Grambling

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Booman

A

rizona battled Grambling State on Saturday in a contest between the haves and have-nots. If you didn’t know who was who, you’d say Grambling State was the former, at least in the first half. There are still some concerns for the Wildcats moving forward—concerns that may be realized if the bad play doesn’t cease in a hurry.

Defensive woes The Tigers gave the UA everything it could handle for a large portion of the first half.

Grambling State quarterback DeVante Kincade was tremendous and presented Arizona fans with the serious question of whether the UA could pull off the victory.

Luckily for the Arizona defense, Kincade hobbled off the field just before the half with what appeared to be a leg injury.

Kincade was amazing, so much so that he made a defense that looked pretty good against a solid BYU team look generic. More alarming was the total missed tackles due to technique, or better yet, the Arizona defenders’ inadequate athleticism.

As usual, the players and head coach Rich Rodriguez said there are just a lot of little things to be corrected—but at what point are there just too many holes and not enough buckets?

Plenty of questions for Dawkins to answer Prior to Saturday’s game, many among the Arizona fan ranks were calling for Brandon Dawkins to become the starter. Come game time, they got their wish.

Anu Solomon hobbled out of the locker room for pre-game

warmups on Saturday in street clothes and wearing a knee brace, while Dawkins looked ready to seize the day and the starting job.

He did neither.

Dawkins’ performance, instead, left more questions than answers.

Overthrows, missed reads and a slow start put a blemish on his starter debut. You can see the elements that make him different than Solomon, especially on the ground, as Dawkins ran for 97 yards on 16 carries and scored two rushing touchdowns. But

the worst part was consistently missed receivers in prime scoring opportunities.

Dawkins will most likely get another start this week against Hawaii, so he has time to reset and play more effectively. If he doesn’t, well, Washington is waiting right around the corner.

Play calling...or lack thereof The play calling was bad on both sides of the ball all night. There’s little to be debated about that.

Rodriguez alluded to the fact

that the coaches need to do a better job getting the players in the right spots. This may be the problem with political correctness because it’s hard to decipher whether it’s the players’ or the coaches’ responsibility to right the ship. But since this is a staff with plenty of experience, this falls on them. Several fourth-and-shorts were stifled by the undersized Grambling State defense throughout the game.

To add to the woes, the system is starting to seem repetitive—fake

hand off, roll out right—it leaves little to the imagination. The creativity that made Rodriguez such a college football wizard is unexpectedly gone, and it has been for a while now.

The lack of superstar athletes has a tendency to make even the most amazing of systems vanilla.

But the question still lies: Has Rodriguez peaked as a play caller, or is he saving his spells for the Pac-12 Conference? Only time will tell. But if we refer to last season, it looks like the potion has worn off.

Week 3 Pac-12 football power rankings NORTH

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro

STANFORD A week-two bye for Stanford sets it up this week with a date against USC. This is the first of many tough games for Stanford, so it has to beat USC convincingly to put itself in a good position.

OREGON

Royce Freeman rolled over Virginia last week on his way to 207 yards and two touchdowns in a 44-26 win.

Oregon might be flying under the radar this season, so watch out for the Ducks. Oregon’s schedule is also easier than Stanford’s, so the Duck’s have a puncher’s chance at the Pac-12 Conference.

WASHINGTON

Not only did the Huskies win last week, but their rival Washington Statem lost. On top of that, Washington lost to head coach Chris Petersen’s former team Boise State, so that was like two wins for Petersen.

CALIFORNIA

Look on the bright side, Cal. Yes, you lost a heartbreaker to San Diego State. But you do get Texas next week. Wait, maybe Golden Bears fans should be pessimistic about this season. It is very reasonable for Cal to end its season on a six-game losing streak, so it will now be faced with the task of an upset.

WASHINGTON STATE

Ten wins seemed reasonable for the Cougars before the season, but now they are struggling just to get one win. Washington State is now playing catchup in the division, but it should not be counted out just yet.

OREGON STATE

Just like Stanford, Oregon State had a bye this week. Chalk that up as a win for the Beavers.

SOUTH USC JuJu Smith-Schuster added to his list of victims as he de-cleated a poor Utah State defender. It does not matter if you are an opponent or a teammate—JuJu will hurt you.

UCLA

BYU caps off its Pac-12 South troika this week as it hosts UCLA. Josh Rosen should be able to take advantage of BYU’s secondary and pull out the win in Provo, Utah.

UTAH

After BYU beat Arizona last week, Utah took it upon themselves to avenge the Pac-12 by beating its rival. The Utes avoid Stanford and Oregon this season, so nine wins could be well within reach.

ASU

Kalen Ballage had a barrage of touchdowns—eight, to be exact—scored against Texas Tech, tied for the NCAA record for touchdowns in a game. He has now temporarily leapfrogged over Christian McCaffrey, Royce Freeman and Myles Gaskin as the top running back out West.

COLORADO

The Buffaloes are 2-0 on the season and now they get to travel to the Big House to take on Michigan.

The Wolverines are currently 20-point favorites and if Colorado covers, that should count as a win. The Buffaloes are finally out of the cellar for the first time in years, so they should enjoy this while they can.

ARIZONA

The Wildcats did get the win, but it required the other team’s starting quarterback getting hurt midgame. If he stayed healthy, Arizona may have lost to an FCS team by double-digits. As a result, the Wildcats are in the Pac-12 South cellar this week, as Colorado leapfrogged Arizona.

Week 2 college football takeaways

BY NOAH SONNET @texaslad32

After a week of some of the most mouthwatering match ups, the second week of the college football season treated us to a weekend full of less-than-exciting matchups. However, as is the nature of college football, this week still left us with plenty to talk about.

As ranked team after ranked team struggled against much lesser opponents, and new names emerged in the Heisman conversation, the excitement of college football never provides a dull weekend.

Get use to the name Lamar Jackson Louisville’s sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson has broken a few records and asserted himself into the national conversation as a player to watch for the Heisman.

He broke the school and ACC records for total offense in a game as the Cardinals crushed Syracuse 62-28 Friday night. Jackson, through two games, has already surpassed the 1,000yard mark for total offense with 1,015 yards, proving without question that this sophomore can put up the big numbers.

He’s led Louisville to the No. 10 ranking in the nation and, with games against Florida State and Clemson coming up, Jackson has a chance to further his Heisman candidacy. Given the way both Clemson and Florida State have played so far, it’s not impossible to think the Cardinals could pull an upset in at least one of these games.

Unless a defense can fully shut down Jackson in both the running and passing game, expect his big numbers to continue week in and week out. His candidacy will be on stage this weekend as Louisville takes on Florida State in one of the premiere matchups of week three.

The Pac shows signs of life in cupcake weekend Following a week in which the Pac-12 Conference had a collective record of 7-5, which was the second worst behind the SEC’s 7-7, the conference improved by going 8-2 this weekend, even if they game against lesser opponents.

A notable highlight from the weekend was Washington’s 59-14 destruction of Idaho. The Huskies, now ranked in the top eight in the country, show they may be a team that can compete for a playoff spot this season.

Other top moments for the conference include Utah’s win in the ‘Holy War’ over state rival BYU 20-19, Arizona bouncing back from an opening week loss and ASU beating out Texas Tech 68-55.

The opponents will be more challenging next week, but for now, it seems the conference has regained some stability after a bad first week.

Big trouble in the not-so-Big-12 First, the conference favorite Oklahoma fell. Then TCU and Oklahoma State joined the Sooners by recording early season losses.

As it stands, Baylor and Texas are the only ranked teams from the Big-12 that are yet to record a loss. While it is early, the conference could find itself without a team in the College

DARIN OSWALD/IDAHO STATESMAN/TNS

BOISE STATE WIDE RECEIVER Cedrick Wilson (1) hauls in a long pass against Washington State’s Marcellus Pippins (27) late in the second quarter to set up a field goal and a 17-7 lead at the end of the first half on Saturday, Sept. 10 at Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho. Washington State fell to 0-2 on the season despite being the preseason dark horse to win the Pac-12 North.

Football Playoff this season, seeing as the top teams are beginning to fall rather early in the year.

Oklahoma State lost in a cruel finish to Central Michigan on a play that shouldn’t have even taken place. TCU crawled its way back to force overtime with Arkansas before becoming the third Big-12 powerhouse to lose in the opening weeks of the season.

It’s very rare for a team to get through a conference as difficult as the Big-12 with

only one loss. In the next three weeks alone, Oklahoma State will face Baylor and Texas, while TCU will play Oklahoma, who plays Ohio State this week.

It would be hard to imagine that these top teams in the conference get through this point without another defeat. Despite being one of the better, more competitive conferences in college football, the Big-12 could face the reality of not having a team in the playoff for the second time in the last three seasons.

Arizona will look to justify top-10 ranking

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro

Although Arizona football is in full swing right now, basketball season is right around the corner to the delight of many Tucsonans.

While the hoopla surrounding Arizona right now is the 2017 No. 1 recruit DeAndre Ayton, there is still a season before that comes to fruition. Even if next year’s team is destined to be world beaters, this year’s team will be no slouch by any means.

Arizona is coming off of a lackluster season, by Wildcats standards, that saw it lose to 11th-seeded Wichita State 65-55 in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Many still see last season as a fluke, though, and expect Arizona to make at least the Sweet 16—like four of Arizona’s previous five seasons.

Publications have Arizona at the tail end of the top 10 to start the season, and that seems like a fair spot. The top teams consist

of defending champ Villanova, recruiting powerhouse Kentucky and the usual suspects Duke and North Carolina. Rounding out the top five is Arizona’s newest rival: Oregon.

The Oregon Ducks are the Pac12 favorites and a trendy pick to reach the Final Four this season, and who can blame them? They return everyone except for Elgin Cook and Dwayne Benjamin. A healthy Dylan Ennis will take the court for the Ducks, too.

This team lives and dies by the fiery forward Dillon Brooks that gave many teams fits last year.

The junior forward from Canada is coming off a year where he earned First-team All-Pac-12, AP Honorable Mention AllAmerican, so it might be tough to top that year.

Brooks is complemented by the sweet-shooting Tyler Dorsey, shot-blocking Chris Boucher and the steady Casey Benson running the point.

Arizona lost two heartbreaking

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA HEAD COACH SEAN Miller gets heated during the Wildcats’ win over Pacific in McKale Center Nov. 13, 2015. The Wildcats join Oregon as the only two teams in the NCAA top 10 basketball rankings.

games to Oregon as the Ducks snapped the Wildcats’ 49-game home winning streak and then knocked them out of the Pac-12 tourney in the semifinals.

With Allonzo Trier in the fold, the Wildcats have an elite scorer who should be on preseason lists for Pac-12 Player of the Year and All-American after his solid

freshman season. The sophomore can switch between shooting guard and small forward, which allows coach Sean Miller the flexibility to tinker with his lineups. If Miller elects to go small, a quintet of Kobi Simmons or Kadeem Allen, Rawle Alkins, Allonzo Trier, Ray Smith and Lauri Markkanen could give teams nightmares.

We do not know who will complement Trier as a secondary scorer, but there is a solid list of options for coach Miller. Be it Markkanen, Smith, Simmons or Alkins, Arizona should have no issue putting the ball in the basket. The Wildcats should also contend for top defensive team in the conference with Allen, Smith and Alkins playing tight, pressure defense.

Miller could spend his nonconference schedule testing lineups and determining which work best. But come January, the Pac-12 better watch out because the Wildcats may just be ready to reclaim the throne.
