Against the backdrop of the greatest global refugee crisis in over 70 years, projects like the Collaborative Engagement to Nurture Talent and Educate Responsively represent increased efforts by Western nations to help resettle families fleeing from their native countries. On Aug. 31, a storefront at 55 N. Sixth Ave. in downtown Tucson became the location of the opening for CENTER. CENTER stems from a larger Arizona resettlement agency called Refugee Focus, which has worked to effectively integrate refugee families in Tucson since 2003. Rather than focusing on the entire family, CENTER’s primary goal is educating and tutoring children with refugee parents. The program is still in its early stages and relies mainly on volunteer work from the community. Its only fulltime employee is Julie Kasper, who oversees the building in downtown Tucson. Kasper, who grew up in Tucson, has been attracted to the intellectual challenges posed by language and cultural barriers throughout her career. “I knew I wanted to be a teacher, but I wasn’t impressed with the College of Education at the UA,” she said. After moving to New York City, she received her master’s degree in teaching English as a second language from Teachers College, Columbia University. Kasper’s work with refugees spans back to 2005 when she returned to Tucson from Queens in New York City to take a job at Catalina Magnet High School. She soon discovered that most of the school’s international students happened to be refugees. In 2014, Kasper left Catalina Magnet High School to pursue work that could more effectively address refugees’ needs for education and developmental assistance. That’s when she began work with CENTER’s parent

organization, Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest. Kasper started as the school coordinator of the organization’s Refugee School Impact Grant. “After talking with parents, kids, teachers and community partners throughout Tucson, the immediate needs that arose were after-school tutoring. Where is a consistent place my kid can go to get help?” Kasper said. The lack of professional, developmental and educational help for refugee students was what led to the creation of CENTER. “The big focus of CENTER is on school enrollment,” said Connie Phillips, the CEO and president of LSS-SW. “It’s focused on more effectively educating the children. Some of them have not been in school or have gone to school camps with little resources. Some don’t speak English.” In order to properly identify and assist refugee families from nations like Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Iraq, LSS-SW is
contracted with national groups that work with the U.N. These groups, like the Church World Service or Episcopal Migration Ministries, look over applications for resettlement from people in refugee camps. “When they get here, we already know they’re refugees, which is an official status determined by the [United Nations] High Commission on Refugees,” Phillips said. Once the refugees are identified, groups like LSS-SW send out case managers to help fulfill educational, medical or trauma needs. This is where CENTER comes in to offer day care, tutoring, English instruction and other developmental services to help provide an effective education. “The main age group we focus on is between 12 and 24 years old,” Kasper said. “We want to provide the skills and support so that they can be successful members of a community while also maintaining their home language and culture.”
Kasper describes her work as challenging, pointing out delays and logistical obstacles to the “soft launch” of CENTER on Aug. 31. But she says there’s no shortage of rewarding experiences when helping refugee families resettle. “These are kids that have been through so much. They’re so resilient,” Kasper said. “It’s amazing to see the growth of relationships between volunteers from the [UA] and the children in just a week and a half.” One volunteer, Marisa Latinka, a fifth-year global senior at the UA, says her experience in helping Congolese refugees obtain a GED is unlike any tutoring experience she’s had in the past. “Sometimes, the language barrier can be very difficult,” Latinka said. “But I’ve always known that tutoring people in difficult material is something I can learn from, and it’s an even more enjoyable experience when you’re helping people acclimate to a completely different culture.” — Follow Isaac Rounseville @itsgonbezoppity

Anxiety on the rise in college BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat
As students adjust to a college environment and try to balance responsibilities like school, work, extracurricular activities and an internship or even research, their stress levels increase, which can lead to anxiety and depression. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, 58 percent of college campuses have seen a rise in anxiety disorders and 89 percent of campuses have seen a rise in clinical depression. Leslie Ralph, a clinical psychologist at Counseling and Psych Services, said she agrees that these numbers have been rising for many years. “Students are getting busier and busier and busier,” Ralph said. She said she thinks expectations and pressure to do well in and out of school are a common cause of anxiety in college students. CAPS offers a variety of counseling and psychiatric services for students so they can be successful in the pursuit of education. The spring 2015 CAPS Student Satisfaction Survey reported that 64 percent of the students surveyed identified anxiety as their top concern. For any student experiencing anxiety or depression, and who wants help or information, Ralph said they can walk into the CAPS’
Triage, located on the third floor of the Campus Health Service building, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. “Students will talk with somebody for around 30 minutes so CAPS can get some information, and that’s how they get scheduled to see a counselor,” Ralph said. Ralph said some anxiety can be managed or treated, while other types of anxiety are long-standing and might even require medication. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, “83 percent of campuses maintain the right to refuse treatment to students whose problems are beyond the capabilities of the staff.” Ralph said that students can either do brief therapy with CAPS counselors, or they might be referred off campus to address the issue if it’s long-standing or more serious. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, one-third of campuses have no psychiatrists available. At the UA, Ralph said CAPS has around 30 staff members and saw 1,985 students last fall. According to The Chronicle, nearly one-third of campus counseling centers have waiting lists. “We don’t officially have a waitlist, and we don’t tell students they have to wait to be seen; we will schedule them as soon as possible,” Ralph said. With the exception of psychiatry, Ralph said, at times there is never a period when CAPS isn’t taking on
and receiving more students. “That being said, as we head into a new semester, it can be three weeks or so before a student can be seen at the Triage, and with psychiatry it can be as long as two months,” Ralph said. While CAPS has improved, Ralph said she definitely thinks it can improve even more, which is why the center is trying to work on outreach by having more groups and enhancing its online presence by providing online videos to reach more students. “One area that we’ve been having trouble is with getting students to come to our program,” Ralph said. “I think it’s a matter of us better understanding what the students want in their own language. Getting them to show up and reducing the stigma can be challenging.” CAPS currently partners with THINK TANK and provides a test anxiety workshop. Many colleges have also expressed interest in an anxiety presentation, Ralph said. “You guys are like a little mini city, and many students don’t have access to getting off campus, the transportation or insurance, so having it housed on campus just makes it easily accessible,” Ralph said.

From Tel Aviv to AZ, new doctor in town BY brandi walker The Daily Wildcat
“Blacking out” is what happens when you drink, are awake and responsive, but the next day (or maybe forever) you cannot remember what you did.
My friend got drunk and vomited a lot. I was worried about her and kept her at my apartment to watch her. What would I have done if she passed out? You did the right thing to keep a close eye on your friend. “Passing out” might describe a person who is super-tired and falls asleep (no alcohol involved). It might be someone who faints. But when someone “passes out” while drinking alcohol (loses consciousness and is completely unresponsive) it can be serious. It might be alcohol poisoning which happens when someone drinks too much, too fast. It’s a severe physical reaction to heavy alcohol consumption and it can be life-threatening.
Symptoms to look for:
There is no set rule about how many drinks a person can consume before alcohol poisoning sets in. Alcohol is a depressant drug and becomes a “poison” when it sedates the brain areas that control involuntary actions such as breathing, heartbeat, and the gag reflex that prevents choking. Enough alcohol can bring these vital functions to a halt. Too much alcohol can stop a friend’s breathing. Recognizing symptoms of alcohol poisoning and taking action to help a friend may be the difference between life and death.
• Do not leave the person alone and let them “sleep it off.”
• Difficulty standing or walking • Unconscious or semi-conscious • Slow breathing – 8 breaths or less per minute • Cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin • Vomiting without waking up • No response to pain stimulus, such as a pinch
Action Steps: • Carefully turn them on their side (not on their back or stomach) with knees slightly bent and their arm under their head to help prevent choking if they vomit. • Watch their breathing rate. If it stops, start CPR. • If in doubt about your friend’s safety, get help – call 911. It’s the right thing to do. Prompt action may save their life.

The Red Cup Q&A is written by Lynn Reyes, LCSW, LISAC, David Salafsky, MPH, Lee Ann Hamilton, MA, CHES, Spencer Gorin, RN, and Christiana Clauson, MPH, in the Health Promotion and Preventive Services (HPPS) department of the UA Campus Health Service.
The pediatric nephrology department at Banner Children’s – Diamond Children’s Medical Center gained a new faculty member last month. Dr. Clare Lindner, pediatric nephrologist, faculty member and assistant professor to the division of nephrology for the department of pediatrics, moved to Tucson from Pittsburgh a few weeks ago for the job opportunity at the hospital. Prior to her move, Lindner completed a fellowship program in pediatric nephrology, which specializes in the treatment of children’s kidneys, at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Dr. Emmanuel Apostol, pediatric nephrology section chief and associate professor to the division of nephrology, ran the pediatric nephrology program at the Diamond Children’s Medical Center alone for many years before Lindner came to the UA, Lindner said. Lindner said she can now assist him by working at the hospital and seeing patients in the hospital clinics. “Most patients that we have really aren’t that sick,” Lindner said. “We get a lot of people born with congenital kidney problems, and sometimes when they get older their kidneys fail, and they need to go on dialysis for a little while and then eventually get transplanted.” In addition to the patients who need a transplant or dialysis, she also sees patients with other less severe ailments, such as high blood pressure. Lindner received her Doctor of Medicine from
Tel Aviv University in Israel and said she chose to practice this field because it was interesting and academic. Lindner said she also likes the fact that many of the kids are not that sick and respond well to treatments. “For our kids that do get really sick, that’s unfortunate, but we often take care of a lot of kidney transplant patients and, actually, most of them do really, really well,” Lindner said. “It can be a very positive, uplifting field, which is nice.” However, Lindner said sometimes her job can be difficult. “I hate giving bad news, especially if you have to give someone really bad news, like tell someone their kid is going to need a transplant or that he is going to need to go on dialysis,” Lindner said. “I don’t know that there’s really a good way to do it. Certainly I’ve had good teachers who have modeled good ways to do it and to be optimistic, but I hate giving bad news. I like giving good news.” Linder said a lot of what she does on a day-today basis is teach families. “You think kidneys, and it makes you think of adults,” Lindner said. “Sometimes parents don’t understand what’s going on, [and] they’re like, ‘Why is my kid going on dialysis? He’s 5!’ So I think we do a lot of teaching. ... That’s probably 50 percent of what we do, and it’s really rewarding. Parents are usually very appreciative of what we do, so that’s probably one of my favorite parts.” — Follow Brandi Walker @brandimwalker
Ducey, come quickly! BY sam gross
The Daily Wildcat
The president of the Arizona Medical Association, Dr. Nathan Laufer, sent a letter to Gov. Doug Ducey’s office and to The Arizona Republic concerning the accreditation issues of the UA College of Medicine–Phoenix. The letter was in regard to a warning issued by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the organization responsible for accrediting the medical school. The warning pointed out a number of flaws in the governing practices of the Phoenix campus, and set a Dec. 1, 2016 deadline for a progress report detailing the fixes made, as well as a June 2016 deadline to “demonstrate progress toward compliance.” Aside from 10 of the 22 department chairs being vacant, a large sticking point in the LCME’s evaluation of the campus was rooted in February’s Banner Health and University of Arizona Health Network merger. Specifically, the LCME was looking at the need for a clarification of power and responsibility between the dean and the Academic Management Council, a new decision-making group comprised of representatives from UA and Banner Health. Laufer’s Sep. 1 letter began by praising the “excelling” medical school. “I have watched the progress of the Phoenix
medical school with pride and have long felt it was clear to all that a professional, excelling medical school is evolving in downtown Phoenix,” Laufer wrote in his letter. Laufer expressed his worry that leadership from Banner Health and the UA are out of sync with their combined goals. He went on to state that he is concerned that policymakers from within Banner are jeopardizing the school’s future in the name of growing the organization. “The article [by Ken Alltucker, Arizona Republic] depicts decision makers outside of the Phoenix medical school’s leadership risking its future for what I can only presume are their own growth and control needs,” Laufer wrote in the letter. Laufer recommended that Ducey form a task force comprised of members from the Arizona Board of Regents and a nationally acknowledged expert on the LCME’s accreditation expectations. When asked if the UA felt that action from Ducey and the board of regents was necessary, University Relations Vice President Chris Sigurdson said that the decision to get involved is solely at the discretion of the governor and the board of regents. The Office of the Arizona Governor and the board of regents both declined to comment at this time. — Follow Sam Gross @samzgross

POLICE BEAT BY Meghan Fernandez
Cum on, you can do better! Two University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a call on the fourth floor of the Student Union Memorial Center in reference to the discovery of a male masturbating. The UAPD officers had been contacted by a UA custodian who said that, while he was doing an area search of the fourth floor, he saw a backpack on the ground near a conference room door. The custodian said that he approached the backpack to investigate and came upon a man sitting on the ground. The custodian said the man had his shorts pulled down with his penis in his hand, and it appeared the man was masturbating. The man pulled his pants up and stood upon seeing the custodian, who advised the man to sit back down. A few minutes later another man arrived on the scene claiming he was the first man’s friend. One officer took the custodian aside and asked him if he would want to participate in the prosecution of the masturbating individual under the claim of being a victim of a sexual offense. The custodian said no, stating that he did not want to “jam the kid up.” The second officer on the scene spoke to the man who had been reportedly masturbating and his friend. The reported masturbator verbally identified himself and said that he was neither student nor staff at the UA. When asked by the officer why he was masturbating outside of his home, the man told the officer that he was not actively masturbating. The man told the officer that he had been sitting behind a pillar while watching internet porn on his cell phone. The friend told the officer that he and his friend had come into the SUMC through an open gate in order to get out of the rain. The officer asked the friend where he had been while the other man was masturbating, and he said that they had been separated at some point. The friend informed the officer that his father was ready to pick both of them up. The two individuals were released into the father’s custody and were informed that if similar behavior happened again on the UA campus they could receive exclusion orders barring them from access to any UA property.

UA alum Moline readies for Rio The Daily Wildcat
Georganne Moline, a UA track and field alumna, is developing her mind to become her strongest asset, as her sights are set on the upcoming Olympic Games. Moline, already one of the most decorated athletes to come out of Arizona’s track and field program, also competed in the 2012 Olympics. The track star suffered injuries in her early years at Arizona that prevented her from developing beyond being a college athlete. Moline started to make her way to the national level of collegiate track and field in her third season with the Wildcats, first by scoring at the Pac10 Outdoor Championships, where she ran a time of 57.88 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles. This was only a mild beginning to her track success. Moline gathered momentum early in the 2012 collegiate season that would continue throughout the year. She started her outdoor season with a personal best and finished with a Pac12 Conference title in the 400-meter hurdles, clocking in at 55.12 seconds. Her time met the Olympic Trials “A” standard of 56.00 seconds, meaning she would represent Arizona in the U.S. Olympic Trials in an effort to
qualify for the London 2012 Olympics. An athlete at the Olympic Trials must hit the standard and finish in the top three in order to make Team USA. Moline ran to a stunning second-place finish at the trial, earning a personal best of 54.33 seconds and making Team USA for the 2012 Olympics. The momentum didn’t stop at qualifying for the Olympics, either. In the Olympic final of the 400-meter hurdles, she clocked another personal-best time of 53.92 seconds to place fifth and break her own school record. The time was also No. 3 all-time in Pac-12 history. Moline has competed in various meets across the world since her 2012 Olympic stint. She was set to make Team USA once again for the IAAF World Championships in Beijing. However, in the finals at the 2015 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Moline clipped the eighth hurdle, fell and did not finish the final race. “Our USA Championships was a meet I had been looking forward to and in the process had put an enormous amount of pressure on myself,” Moline said. “The preliminary and semifinal rounds went smoothly and exactly how I wanted them to go. The final round was a different story. I lined up with seven girls,0 and as I came to the eighth hurdle,
I watched them all head for the finish line as I crashed to the ground.” During this moment, Moline said she felt discouraged but not defeated. “There are so many things I wish I had done differently this season,” Moline said. “However, there are other things I wouldn’t change.” Moline said the 2015 season has taught her to understand the importance of her mind. “I had neglected my mind and never thought to work my mind the way I work my body,” Moline said. Moline still finished the season with a top-10 world ranking. However, Moline said she feels as if she hasn’t competed to her top ability. She said her coach, Fred Harvey, “sees nothing but a Champion [in her] each time she steps [on and] off the track.” Moline enters the new offseason with a fresh mind and a strengthened spirit. “This year is only going to propel me into next year because I know what I need to do to give myself the best opportunity for success,” Moline said. “I know my weaknesses and will continue to work on them until they become my strengths.”

Next weekend’s Arizona-UCLA game is shaping up to be a Top 25 showdown. Does it carry enough interest to bring ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ to town?
BY JUSTIN SPEARS

T
he Pac-12 South is arguably the toughest division in college football after week two. With four of its teams in the AP Top 25, the Pac12 Conference as a whole is becoming must-see TV for college football fans. Arizona and UCLA will clash at Arizona Stadium come Sept. 26. The Wildcats are currently ranked No. 20 in the AP Top 25, while the Bruins are No. 10. This game will serve as the beginning of conference play for both schools as the race for the Pac-12 South Championship begins to heat up. College GameDay should bring it to you live. UCLA has won its last two meetings with Arizona, but not by much. Two years ago, the Bruins visited Tucson and were ranked No. 19. The Wildcats were unranked and late in the game, they almost mounted a comeback against the Brett Hundley-led Bruins. Though their efforts fell short, the Wildcats forced their opponent to the brink of an upset. This game will be UCLA freshman quarterback Josh Rosen’s first Pac-12 challenge. Arizona is the reigning Pac12 South champion and returned an experienced group of players vying to defend the team’s title and its home turf. A tough environment for a young, inexperienced quarterback in Rosen is enough to put the game on upset alert. Now imagine if the Wildcats are fortunate enough to get Scooby Wright III back? College GameDay would benefit from a game like this. We know that Ohio State is great. We know the SEC is essentially an NFL training ground. It should show a new game with a new cast that the country does not get to see every weekend. Broadcasting an up-and-coming program like Arizona sqauring off with a title contender in UCLA would be fun for college football fans everywhere, and a great way for the Pac-12 South race to begin.

SPN’s College GameDay is a college football tradition— waking up every Saturday morning, turning on the TV to watch four professionals and the occasional celebrity guest predict every top matchup of the day and listening to Lee Corso interrupt another analyst’s prediction to say, “Not so fast my friend,” as he puts on his pick’s mascot head. GameDay is one of the most iconic shows ESPN has to offer. With the possible storm of an undefeated matchup between Arizona and UCLA brewing, it makes sense for GameDay to take its talents to the Old Pueblo for the first time since 2009. Two top-20 teams in the almighty Pac-12 South going toe-to-toe under the lights of Arizona Stadium only makes sense for the GameDay crew. The last time Arizona was on College GameDay, the Wildcats’ destiny to play the Rose Bowl vanished after Oregon posted a miraculous comeback with two minutes left to win in double overtime. All of the signs point to GameDay coming to Tucson, but the Oregon example alone is the main reason why Arizona fans shouldn’t want to host ESPN. It may sound superstitious, but why risk it? The main question surrounding the game as of now is whether Scooby Wright III will be in the lineup. If he’s not back and the bad luck of GameDay comes to Tucson, the Wildcats just might get blown out on their own turf. If they wish to return to Levi’s Stadium, the Wildcats cannot afford to drop a game behind the division when every matchup in the Pac-12 Conference is crucial.

UA soccer can hang with the best
Thanks,Tucson
BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat
After starting the season 5-0, including quality wins over San Diego State University and Santa Clara University, Arizona women’s soccer was off to the best start in school history. And it’s not like they squeaked by their opponents in those five games. The numbers were unbelievably one-sided. The Wildcats had taken 117 shots and scored 15 goals, while their opponents had only taken 49 shots and scored three goals. Arizona ranked No. 22 in goals against average in country (.423), and were No. 59 in the country in goals per game with 2.14. The UA also received nine votes in the NSCAA Coaches poll, which put them just outside the top 25. Still, for a program that has only had four winning seasons since its inaugural season in 1994, it’s easy to be skeptical about just how good this team is. Wins against Santa Clara and San Diego State helped erase some doubt, but Arizona’s performance in the Arizona Cats Classic tournament would be more telling of how the team truly compares to the top teams in the country. In the first game of the tournament, the UA tied No. 18 Texas Tech University 1-1 in extra time. Arizona may have trailed for 89 minutes, but it controlled much of the game. The Wildcats had 16 shots to Texas Tech’s 13, and a few shots just didn’t find their way into the back of net. They continued to scrap and fight, however, and broke through in the 89th minute to salvage a tie. Tying a top-20 team alone doesn’t prove Arizona’s status as a team, but considering they seemed to outplay the Red Raiders en route to that tie, it helped put some legitimacy into the Wildcats’ hype. Two days later, Arizona lost to No. 14 Pepperdine 1-0 in a weather-shortened game. It was the first loss of the season for the Wildcats, but again, there were some very encouraging signs. The ‘Cats may have been held scoreless, but they outshot the Waves 13-6 and controlled the tempo and pace for most of the game. At worst, the Wildcats looked like equals against a highly-respected Pepperdine team that tied top-ranked University of Virginia just a week earlier. All in all, the tournament was a success for the program even though it came away with no wins. As head coach Tony Amato said after Sunday’s loss, his team showed that they can compete against anyone on any given day. — Follow Ryan Kelapire @RKelapireUA
“Caruso Day” at Davis –Monthan, 1943, with Papa Zagona in a familiar role.
Seventy five years! Caruso’s — that is, Caruso’s Restaurant and the Zagona family — this summer celebrate seventy five years of serving Italian food at the same location on Fourth Avenue, thanks to Tucsonans’ approval of our efforts through the years. We’re the third generation of the Zagona family to operate Caruso’s — actually, the fourth, since cousin Ande joined us a decade or so ago. The earliest Caruso’s Restaurant, located down the street just south of us, was washed away in 1940 by an August storm and flood, forcing founder Papa “Caruso” Zagona to relocate to higher ground, where we’ve been for these seventy five years.
There have been some growing pains, and we can remember a Fourth Avenue that was rough around the edges, and avoided by many people. But going even further back, how many of you Tucson old timers recall some of our colorful past neighbors — such as Stan’s Swap Shop, Perfecto Bakery, Ray and Red’s “Poor Man’s Club”, and, more recently, Choo Choo’s and the Night Train? With your help, we may be able to re-construct Fourth Avenue of 40 — 60 years ago. We’d love to hear your recollections of the old Fourth Avenue; you can send them to us at carusos@simplybits.net. We appreciate how well Tucsonans have received Caruso’s, how you have responded to our efforts and those of our “extended family” — all the people who have worked with us through these 75 years — and so we say, once again, Thanks, Tucson! Incidentally, Sal Zagona, Sr., my father, celebrates his 95th birthday, at almost the same time this summer that Caruso’s celebrates its 75th. And he still enjoys creating new dishes for Caruso’s menu.
As we look back over those decades, we remember the friends Caruso’s has made — the first dates, the engagements, weddings, and birthdays that were celebrated here. We have come to know the families that have grown up with ours, and we look forward to more celebrations to come. Along with you we’ve lived through good and bad times, from the Great Depression and a global war, through other turbulent times and recessions, as well as the years of peace and prosperity. Fourth Avenue has always been a good home for us. We have evolved together, from the years before the Street Fair, the Streetcar, and parking meters.

Injury an epidemic across football BY Matt Wall
The Daily Wildcat
Every season, injuries squash the hopes and dreams of young men trying to make it on to the big stage. Left alone, injuries congest the possibilities of football championships, of winning conferences and the like. Injuries are nothing new. Yet at the same time, injuries have plagued the game this season, in both the NFL and NCAA college football. In the FBS Division I, there are 128 total teams. According to StatFox. com, going into week three of the college football season, 116 of the 128 total teams have substantial injuries within their program. Some players are out just a few weeks, while others are out for the season. These stats are old news. Every year people demand that the game of football be changed. “It’s too dangerous,” they say. “I don’t want my son or daughter getting hurt.” “That’s too many guys,” Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez said of injured players after defeating UTSA in week one. “I’m getting depressed.” Already this season, we have seen big names go down. Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire suffered a broken ankle in week two and is out for the season. Virgina Tech quarterback Michael Brewer broke his collarbone and is out for four to eight weeks. Former ACC player of the year running back James Connor from Pittsburg tore his medial collateral ligament and is out for the season. Let’s take a look specifically at the Arizona Wildcats. Going into their third regular season game against NAU, 11 players—that we know of— have sustained some sort of injury, big names included. Linebacker Scooby Wright III is out indefinitely with a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee. Receivers Trey Griffey and Tyrell Johnson are both expected to miss two to three weeks due to foot injuries. Backup linebacker Haden Gregory is expected to miss two to four weeks due to an undisclosed injury. Linebackers Derrick Turituri, Jake Matthews and DeAndre’ Miller are all questionable against NAU. Cornerback Kwesi Mashack is also questionable with a hamstring injury. Three Wildcats are out for the season including linebacker Cody Ippolito, tight end Trevor Wood and center Carter Wood. The injuries to

the Wood brothers are huge blows to the Wildcats, especially since both were expected to start this season at their respective positions. In Carter’s case, his chronic foot injury is careerending. Those are the worst kind of injuries: the ones that afflict people who have worked their entire lives to make it to the highest level, only to see it all taken away. San Francisco 49ers great Steve Young suffered seven concussions before he said it was enough. Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin
suffered a cervical spinal cord injury after 11 seasons in the NFL. And who can forget Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand, who was paralyzed from the neck down in 2010 due to a spinal cord injury. The game is dangerous; nobody can argue against that. With Arizona offense going fast, injuries are bound to catch up. At least that is what one might think. “I call it a farce,” Rodriguez said at the PAC-12 football media days in July 2014. “If you think pace of play has anything to do with injuries, you
drank the wrong poison.” There are some commonalities among the injuries. Specifically in Arizona, take a look at Wright, Gregory and Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington. Each has suffered some sort of knee injury. According to the NCAA, the knee is the most common location of injury, accounting for 17.1 percent of the injuries overall. Six of the 11 players injured for the Wildcats are at the linebacker position. According to the NCAA, linebackers are injured most often in
college football, accounting for 13.5 percent of all injuries. Sure, both the NCAA and NFL have established rules to prevent injuries and have changed the pace of the game in many levels. But if I had worked my butt off for years to play the game I love and suffered a career-ending injury, I think I might cry.

Pac-12 power rankings
North
1
Oregon — The Ducks lost a hard-fought battle to then-No. 5 Michigan State. While losing to them isn’t necessarily bad, giving up 197 yards on the ground is alarming. Last week, the Ducks gave up over 400 yards through the air, so the defense might have some cause for concern moving forward.
2
Stanford — After losing to a then-unranked Northwestern, the Cardinal regained its defensive swagger by holding UCF to 181 yards of offense and only seven points. Kevin Hogan was spectacular with 341 yards and three touchdowns. Stanford will try to regain a top-25 ranking this week.
4
Washington — After losing to Boise State in Chris Petersen’s homecoming, the Huskies shellacked Sacramento State to the tune of 49-0. Still, their October schedule of USC, Oregon, Stanford and Arizona on Halloween is downright terrifying.
3
California — So far so good for the Golden Bears’ offense. Jared Goff piled up 321 yards and three touchdowns through the air while Daniel Lasco added 123 yards on the ground. Cal could potentially start the season 5-0 before playing four straight ranked opponents during conference play.
available at:
5
Oregon State — Michigan thrashed Oregon State 35-7 in a game where the Beavers could only muster 138 yards of total offense. The Beavers must get things rolling in a hurry before their schedule really heats up with Pac-12 Conference play.
6
Washington State — While Wazzu did beat Rutgers in a thriller, we can’t ignore its loss to Portland State to open the season.
South
1
USC — Cody Kessler is garnering early season Heisman stock, like every USC quarterback before him, with 410 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Idaho. The Trojans could very well be favored in every game from here on, but USC is always due for a weird upset.
2
UCLA — Josh Rosen may not have had a great follow-up to his phenomenal debut, but running back Paul Perkins picked up the pace with 151 yards and two touchdowns. The defense completely shut down UNLV and the Bruins enter week three ranked No. 10 in the AP Top 25.
3
Arizona — The Wildcats improved to 8-0 when Nick Wilson averaged at least five yards per carry, as the sophomore churned out 194 yards and three touchdowns against Nevada. With the injuries on defense, they still allowed just 20 points to the Wolf Pack.

4
Utah — The Utes became the fourth Pac-12 South team in the top 25 after beating instate rival Utah State 2414. Now the Utes play Fresno State before beginning Pac-12 play that will test their mettle. ASU — The Sun Devils were previously given the benefit of the doubt after losing to then unranked Texas A&M, but after needing two fourthquarter touchdowns to beat Cal Poly, any logic defending ASU has been thrown out the window. This trendy playoff sleeper is making its believers look foolish early on.
5
6
Colorado — The stepchild of the Pac-12 South dominated UMass 4814 and will look to keep its momentum going against in-state rival Colorado State. If the Buffs cannot capitalize on one of their easier opponents, the road ahead entering Pac-12 play will look even more bleak.

All aboard the next balloon ride to space BY GENEVIEVE PATTERSON The Daily Wildcat
Your next vacation might be to outer space. At least that’s the goal at World View Enterprises, a local Tucson company committed to making space tourism an accessible reality. The company is designing high-altitude balloons capable of carrying people up into the stratosphere where they would be able to look down upon the Earth while suspended in the darkness of space. “World View’s mission is to give people like you and me a new perspective on the world,” said Andrew Antonio, corporate development lead for World View Enterprises. “A lot of people will say, ‘Oh, well you’re just taking people up to space, and it’s really just a joyride for rich people to go to space,’ and that is completely not what we’re doing.” As opposed to other space tourism ventures, which are using rockets, World View is relying upon high-altitude balloons. The balloons, made from a thin and durable polethylene material, are filled with helium on the ground and then start to expand as they ascend. When fully expanded, one could fit and rotate an NFL football stadium inside the balloon. “The whole vision behind what we are doing is building a new, affordable way to take everyday people to space to give them this transformative perspective on the Earth on
which we live,” Antonio said. World View’s model drastically changes the nature of space travel. “For us, space doesn’t have to be adrenaline-laced. … We want to emphasize the serenity of space,” Antonio said. “The difference is that when you are going up in the balloon, you are going the speed of what you might walk on the road.” Don’t worry about being as well trained or as physically fit as NASA’s average astronaut when flying with World View, Antonio said. Passengers will not even need special suits or a medical pre-screening. “If you can go on a commercial airline, you can fly with World View,” he said. The technology behind World View’s mission is more than just a cool concept. It was used in the StratEx mission to bring the Senior Vice President of Knowledge for Google, Alan Eustace, to the edge of space for a record-breaking space dive. This summer, a student at the UA had the opportunity to get hands on experience working as an intern for World View. “I got the opportunity to work on a lot of different exciting aspects of the company,” said David Farrell, a mechanical engineering junior. “I always like to say that it’s sort of representative of my time there that my first day I was building shelves, the next week I was helping to build a balloon that would go to near-space. And then, the week after that, I was figuring out all the logistics for tracking

the trajectory of the balloon and being able to recover the payloads.” World View is not only committed to space tourism, it is also hoping to expand research opportunities in the stratosphere. World View collaborates with scientists, researchers and NASA to fly its instruments into space to collect valuable, often difficult to obtain data about the ozone layer, weather and climate change.
As Antonio noted, “It is also one of the sexiest things that is happening on the planet Earth right now.”

College of Medicine battles ignorance BY PRIYANKA HADVANI The Daily Wildcat
The UA College of Medicine has developed a curriculum to further explain the realms of ignorance. Students branching out from this curriculum are taught to explore the unknown without the fear of being ignorant. The Summer Institute on Medical Ignorance was started in the ’80s to teach financially, economically and socially disadvantaged individuals. This summer, SIMI accepted its largest group of participants: 92 total–46 medical students, 16 UA undergraduates and 30 high school students from Arizona. This was possible through a large grant by the Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health that provided summer stipends to students, salaries to teachers and curricular support to the program. By partaking in SIMI, students were exposed to laboratory and clinical research experience in the College of Medicine. Advanced individuals were able to conduct research at other institutes in the U.S., including Stanford
University, University of California schools, John Hopkins University and universities abroad, including the Pasteur Institute in Paris and the Giannina Gaslini Children’s Hospital in Italy. At the end of the summer, students take what they have discovered from their research and faculty seminars and prepare final written reports, oral PowerPoint presentations and YouTube videos. Alice Ferng, a 2004 participant in SIMI and current physiology graduate student and medical student at the UA College of Medicine, describes her experience as one that, “emphasized [her] own beliefs in how science should be approached—through questioning and research.” Ferng conducted research through SIMI mentor Dr. Sanjay Ramakumar, which showed her that clinical and laboratory research was able to be balanced in daily life. Sarah Daley, a medical student and 2012 participant in SIMI, worked on research in the lymphology laboratory of Dr. Marlys Witte, director of the UA Medical Student Research
Programs. She is continuing research in the field and will present the work at the World Congress of Lymphology conference in San Francisco this week. Pablo Hernandez is a psychology senior, continuous participant of SIMI since 2011, officer of the Biochemistry Club and a volunteer at Banner Health – University Medical Center Tucson. He studied pain pharmacology with Dr. Frank Porreca. “Ignorance was something that no one liked to admit,” Hernandez said. “You would shut it away and never promote it.” As he continues his research, he said his motivation stems from what is left to discover. Other participants in SIMI have also chosen to continue their research in a Research Distinction Track, which will provide credit to the student for their work given they fulfill additional requirements. Furthermore, nearly 10 percent of participants have entered or graduated from medical school, 5 percent have entered or received doctorates and many other individuals have pursued careers in other
science fields. Since 1982, 1,110 fellowships have been awarded to SIMI students, and in recent news, medical students have started their own journal for UA medical student researchers. The foundation of the curriculum stems from Blaise Pascal’s paradigm, “Knowledge is like a sphere, the greater the volume, the larger its contact with the unknown.” Faculty encouraged students to ask questions and consistently reminded the students that all questions are of value. Daily “ignorance logs” were created on a password-protected online website and mobile app, and used in growing the individual’s understanding of ignorance. “Ignorance is what we know we don’t know, don’t know we don’t know, and think we know but don’t know,” Witte said. “It is the terrain of all knowledge and discovery, because we do not know as much as we claim to know.”

New galaxies galore in This Week in Science BY EMILY HEDGES
The Daily Wildcat
Your great-great … great-great … great … great-grandparents Scientists have identified a new species of early human ancestors. A new hominin species, the Homo naledi, was announced on Thursday by a group of scientists in South Africa. Dr. Lee R. Berger, an American paleoanthropologist and professor of human evolution studies at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, was at the forefront of the research being done on the Homo naledi. Remains from the human ancestors were originally discovered in South Africa two years ago, when two local spelunkers entered a cave to find themselves surrounded by bones. According to a paper published this week by Berger, the scientists found more than 1,550 fossils, constituting one of the largest samples of any hominin species in a single African site. “With almost every bone in the body represented multiple times, Homo naledi is already practically the best-known fossil member of our lineage,” Berger said in an interview with The New York Times. The location and number of the remains suggest the intentional deposit of dead bodies into the cave. According to the scientists involved in the excavation, this suggests a ritual burial of the dead bodies by the Homo naledi, a practice previously thought to be limited to modern humans. Analysts have not yet been able to identify the exact age of the remains, but Berger believes them to be between 2.5 and 2.8 million years old. Our new astral neighbors Astronomers have found a galaxy cluster filled with new stars. The new galaxy cluster was first spotted using Spitzer and the Canada-FranceHawaii telescope on Maunakea, Hawaii. Follow-up studies using the Hubble telescope confirmed that the creation of new stars in the cluster was being fueled by gas. “We can actually see the ferocious heat from all these hot, young stars,” said Dr. Jason Surace from NASA’s Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, in an interview with Astronomy Magazine. The galaxy cluster is being referred to by astronomers as SpARCS 1049+56. The cluster is producing stars at a rate of 860 per year, compared to the Milky Way, which produces about two per year. It is thought to contain at least 27 galaxies and is located 9.8 billion light-years away from Earth. Dr. Tracy Webb of McGill University in Montreal, Canada said that the galaxy at the
center of the cluster is currently producing a number of new stars after merging with a smaller galaxy, according to an interview with Astronomy Magazine. Webb said that most stars at the center of galaxy clusters are old and dead, but this cluster is thought to be active. Webb and her fellow researchers are planning on studying other galaxy clusters like SpARCS 1049+56 in the future. Be careful, they bite New research is being conducted into the evolution of carnivorous plants. According to a recent study done by Michael Schöner of the University of Greifswald in Germany, the carnivorous plant Nepenthes hemsleyana, a pitcher plant that grows in Borneo, does not just eat insects, but also forms coexistent relationships with woolly bats. Schöner’s research group has found that the Nepenthes attracts bats by changing its shape to match the bats’ echolocation calls. According to the study, the Nepenthes does this so that the bats will roost on the plant. The cocoon shape of the plant provides bats with comfort and protection. Schöner and his colleagues found that the plant attracts bats in order to feed on their guano, which provides the plant with supplemental nutrition. The relationship between the woolly bats and the Nepenthes plant is one of the only instances of animals coexisting with carnivorous plants. Computer program catalyzes chemistry Researchers at Virginia Tech are training computers to make predictions about chemical reactions. Dr. Luke Achenie and Dr. Hongliang Xin, chemical engineering faculty members at VT, recently wrote an article about their research on using computer programs to aid in chemical engineering. According to their article, Achenie and Xin used existing programming data to train computer algorithms to make predictions about the outcomes of certain chemical reactions. The researchers were able to create a model that predicts novel alloy materials for chemical conversions quickly and accurately. The process of testing blends of metals to learn more about their physical and chemical properties is expensive and time consuming, according to Achenie. The team hopes to make this process more accessible using computers. Achenie and Xin have already identified some copper multi-metallics with higher energy conversion efficiency, according to their article. During their research, they focused on the electrochemical reduction

of carbon dioxide on metal electrodes because of the recent increase in interest in this process for sustainable productions of fuels, according to Xin. Achenie and Xin’s new model could make research on CO2 conversion easier and less expensive. You need the D Vitamin D may help slow dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in patients, according to a new study done by the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers in the U.S. measured both vitamin D levels and cognitive ability in older adults. The study found that low levels of vitamin D correlated with impaired cognitive function and could be related
to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Subjects with lower levels of vitamin D showed more short-term memory loss, as well as some cognitive impairment, according to the study. Subjects who had dementia also had lower levels of vitamin D than those with mild cognitive impairment, said Dr. Joshua Miller, nutritional sciences professor from Rutgers University. These subjects suffered from memory loss and inability to organize thoughts and prioritize tasks. Dementia and Alzheimer’s can cause a loss of cognitive function in older adults. The diseases affect more than 47 million people, according to the World Health Organization. It is expected that cases of dementia and Alzheimer’s will increase in older adults over the next 50 years, according to the study. Further studies are being conducted to determine if increased levels of vitamin D can slow the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s. — Follow Emily Hedges @theemilyhedges

Saying goodbye to monsoon season BY KAITLYN FLETCHER The Daily Wildcat
Lightning bolts through the ominous clouds above Mount Lemmon. One … Two … Three … Four … Five … Boom. Thunder rattles the sky. The storm sits roughly one mile away from the mountain based on the “five seconds to one mile” theory. The difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound allows this theory to estimate the distance of lightning from a person’s location. Near sea level, the sound of thunder travels approximately one mile in five seconds, while lightning flashes and disappears in an instant. This can protect hikers from possible danger during monsoon season. The Southwest monsoon season begins in late May as the summer sun evaporates water from the Pacific Ocean and builds up humidity in the atmosphere. The dry spell in the Southwest continues throughout late June. In early July, a southeasterly shift in the wind direction pulls the moisture from the tropical Mexican air into the Southwest. This stream of moisture is the final puzzle piece in the heavy rainfall associated with monsoons. Simply put, the monsoon is a seasonal shift in wind direction that pulls moisture into the Southwest region and allows the development of thunderstorms. Monsoon season provides the arid desert ecosystem with needed rainfall and lower temperatures while also inflicting

powerful flood waters and numerous lightning strikes. All of the factors of the monsoon vary, from the timing of the thunderstorms to the amount of rainfall. The variability of monsoons makes these thunderstorms dangerous to the illinformed. “It is difficult to predict where [monsoon] storms will exactly be at a specific time,” said Dr. Thomas Galarneau, an assistant professor of atmospheric sciences at the UA. A Surge of Life The Southwest monsoon season replenishes life in the dry Sonoran Desert.
It produces more than half of Arizona’s annual rainfall in a matter of months while suppressing the hot summer temperatures, according to associate professor Michael A. Crimmins in the UA Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science. Arizona sits in the “sweet spot” of this complex weather pattern, Galarneau said. It is important to the state’s water supply, agricultural production and the life cycle of plant and animal species, which remain dormant until these wet months.
of rain per year during monsoon season, according to Crimmins. However, the benefits of heavy rainfall come with some negative ramifications. Lightning is one of the main ignition sources for wildfires. Wildfire season stretches from May until July, a time in which dry plants increase the risk of fire until the rains return. A late monsoon season can be devastating to property and the environment by extending the period of increased likelihood for wildfires. Flash flooding occurs in a matter of minutes in dry stream beds and narrow canyons. These powerful floods have the capability to move thousands of pounds of water. A small car can be washed away in just 12 inches of water with the right force. The National Weather Service created the “Turn Around Don’t Drown” slogan to promote safety practices around flood water. Arizonians need to “respect the monsoon,” Crimmins said. Education and planning are the best courses of action to minimize property damage and prevent deaths. As the month of September continues, the thunderstorms and lightning will start to dwindle as the wind shifts back to its original southwest direction. Mount Lemmon and the surrounding wilderness areas become dry and safe once again. Until next time, monsoon season.

NASA researchers hope to learn about the formation of Jupiter, its hidden inner core, the depth of its violent storms and its powerful magnetic field, among many other things. Over the last 20 years, according
to Hubbard, we’ve learned of the existence of many Jupiter-sized planets orbiting other stars within our galaxy. “Juno will give us an archetype for these larger planets,” he said. Scientists think Jupiter was the first planet to form because of its great size and gaseous makeup. Investigators hope to find that it has preserved material from the composition of the young solar system, providing further insight into how other planets formed. Juno is also the first completely solar-powered spacecraft, as all others have been nuclear powered. Its three solar panels are very large because less sunlight reaches Juno as it flies deeper into the solar system. Many ask, “Why go back?” But Juno is actually the first mission to get a close-range view of the nearest Jovian planet in our solar system. “We did have one space craft, Galileo, that orbited Jupiter for
eight years,” said Dr. Tim Swindle, department head of planetary sciences and director of LPL. However, damage to the main antennae restricted the amount of data it could send back, and those in charge of the mission made the choice to focus on the moons of Jupiter, Swindle said. Jupiter is also a dangerous place for space probes. The gas giant has a faint ring system that might cause collisions with the probe; but the radiation belts created by Jupiter’s gigantic magnetic field are an even more powerful adversary. The probe must avoid the highenergy particles captured and concentrated by the arching bands of Jupiter. To put it in perspective, by the end of the mission, according to Hubbard, Juno will receive the equivalent of 100 million dental X-rays. NASA planned a special orbit for the probe because of these factors. Even so, Juno will only be able to circle Jupiter about 30 times before
the radiation exposure from these belts causes too much damage. At the end of her mission, Juno will fall from orbit into the gas planet, leaving an incandescent path as it burns up in Jupiter’s thick atmosphere, Hubbard said. NASA wants to do everything it can to avoid contaminating Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, because experts believe the moon is the most likely place to harbor life in our solar system. Some see this summer’s flyby of Pluto as the end of an era in planetary exploration. However, Swindle points out that flybys are only the first step in planetary exploration. He sees a logical progression of flyby, orbiter, lander, sample return and then human exploration. “Not every place will be a place where humans will want to go, … but we’ll keep learning about things we hadn’t guessed and keep learning more about how the Earth fits in,” Swindle said.
The principal investigator, Dr. Scott Bolton, has two sons who are “very much into Legos,” Hubbard said. “So Scott arranged a deal with The Lego [Group] to include some things on the spacecraft.” There are “special passengers” hitching a ride to the gas giant: three little Lego men covered in aluminum alloy and bonded to the deck of the spacecraft. The first is Jupiter grasping a lightning bolt, the second is Juno holding a magnifying glass and the last is Galileo with his telescope as a “tribute to our Italian partners” on the mission, Hubbard said. This was the first lecture in the LPL’s Evening Lecture Series. A calendar of future lectures is available on the organization’s website, lpl.arizona.edu/calendar/september, along with audio recordings of previous lectures. — Follow Mikayla Mace @MaceDW

Arts valuable in critical perspective BY Justice Amarillas The Daily Wildcat
“I
magine for a moment a world without art and culture, without music, without cinema, without dance, opera, literature, poetry. That world would be a very, very dull place devoid of imagination—the one thing that distinguishes us as human beings from other species. Without art, the banality of reality would be intolerable.” Greek art historian, curator and writer Katerina Gregos said the above in a TED Talk titled “Why art is important,” and she couldn’t be any more correct. Living and attending school in Tucson means that we are surrounded and influenced by the city’s rich art culture every day. We need to be aware of the importance of art in school and in life. No longer should art be
regarded as a specialized field of study. “Regarding the value of art, I believe that the intrinsic value is in its transformative potential for both the artist and those with whom the art connects or communicates,” said James Cook, an associate professor for the School of Art at the UA. Art offers profound knowledge that can be utilized on a daily basis. Three main factors of this knowledge need to be emphasized. The first lesson the arts teach is that more than one solution can solve a problem. Creativity is a crucial skill to have because it helps us realize multiple solutions. “Art has the power to express or voice ideas that can be heard because of its ability to creatively present ordinary experiences by utilizing unexpected and skillful means,” Cook said. Similarly, the second benefit to consider is that the arts celebrate multiple perspectives. It is one thing to take a binary stance on a divided political issue, but it is another to view that issue from an artistic perspective, which can pave the way for a more heightened sense
of awareness and a broader sphere of thought. “The creative merging of knowledge and experience, when not sourced from the same stream, has the potential to enhance awareness and to create unexpected new understanding,” Cook said. Third, and most importantly, the arts provide a means for every student to learn. Studying art is not just about techniques or the traditional setting. Anybody can experience art meaningfully. “I feel quite passionate about my responsibilities as an artist and educator, and as one who finds in service the opportunity to amplify the potential for learning amongst student, colleagues and community,” Cook said. “I appreciate the unique possibilities that I am afforded as an arts instructor in the university setting to cultivate in our students a keen sense of investigative and critical analysis conducive to discovery, clarity of thought and recognition of self in the other.” Understanding the value of art can help coming to grips with the vast and untapped knowledge that Tucson’s art culture offers. For
students who attend the university, exposure to art can be found throughout campus. There are many galleries to visit, for example, the Joseph Gross Gallery, Lionel Rombach Gallery and Todd Walker Photography Gallery, and there are always artist lectures to attend, artists to meet and work to see firsthand. Artistic values can be applied to any discipline in the world around us and may even enhance them. “I’m convinced that if more people engage with [art], the world would be a much better place,” Gregos said. “In that sense, art should also have a much more important place in school curriculums and education. … They are integral to the human spirit and to human aspirations, an essential part of what makes us human. Art thinks about the world in its current state, and it can re-imagine the world as it should be.” — Justice Amarillas is a photography sophomore. Follow her @WildcatJustice
Jesus not a Facebook user, FB friend BY Greg Castro
The Daily Wildcat
R
ide the streetcar to and from downtown Tucson often enough and the trip starts to become a bit of bore. Looking out the window at the wonders of early-morning Fourth Avenue is the only means of escaping the tedium and confined spaces of the pre-class commute. Any new features thus stick out like a sore thumb, with Trinity Presbyterian’s “You have a friend request … from Jesus” banners perhaps serving as the sore thumb of the month. While the institution itself isn’t under fire here, its current advertising campaign leaves something to be desired. These sorts of attempts at combining the Christian message with modern media trends have become
fairly common, readily visible across various networking sites and roadside billboards. The immediate response is to find it all a bit, well, corny. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has decided not only to join Facebook, but also to send out friend requests? Have his followers on Earth really become so bad at spreading the Word that such measures are necessary? Liberal young college students aren’t the only ones to recognize the inherent silliness in these ads. A local campus church institution director, who wished to remain anonymous, had something to say about this brand of Christian advertising. “I’m not sure portraying Christ in social mediums is inappropriate, but it feels desperate to me. I know many denominations hold two worship services on Sundays—one for traditional crowds and the other for younger crowds. Pandering to your demographic suggests you don’t believe in your message.” Belief seems the core of the issue. If a denomination truly respects the idea that there

is a God, the concept of Christ and that he died to save humanity from its sins, then portraying that savior as just another social media user seems a disservice in the extreme. And yet, the major denominations must do something to improve attendance. In his June article titled, “Which Religion Is Dying in America?,” Huffington Post Religion columnist and pastor Charles Redfern found that 4,000 churches close each year and 3,500 people leave the Church each day. It’s no surprise then that the major denominations are scrambling to find ways to reverse that trend. A more open-minded perspective when it comes to modernist Christian advertising may be called for. Richard Lewis, elder at the Vineyard Christian Community, points out that perhaps these new forms of proselytizing are actually evidence of sincerely held beliefs. “The good news of salvation, freedom from sin and death and eternal relationship with God through the person and work of Jesus Christ is too good to restrict to some narrow road of communication. It should be shared, as
Paul said, ‘by all means.’ ” Regardless of the sincerity of these advertisements, their efficacy remains in question. Are there any students who find them clever or appealing? And if there are, do these students find themselves attending services regularly as a result? Ultimately, it may not even be enough to simply get students into a church service; it’s getting them to come back that’s the real trick. The aforementioned anonymous institute director weighed in: “If gimmicks bring someone to your church and you try gimmicks … to retain them, you’re not a church—you’re a social club. Churches must offer something Hollywood and other lifestyles can’t offer: personal peace and fulfillment.” — Greg Castro is a film and television senior. Follow him @DailyWildcat

Dress code: no collarbones before college BY JUSTICE AMARILLAS The Daily Wildcat
A
s the new school year rolls in, so do dress code scandals in high schools all over the U.S. Of course, there are many topics of controversy associated with dress codes, but the standard high school administration’s default defense of the codes is that “it provides a distraction-free environment for students so they can focus on their studies.” Recently, a girl was sent home from Woodford County High School in Versailles, Kentucky, for violating the school’s dress policy. The violation: showing her collarbones. Specifically stated in the policy, “shirts must have crew-neck collars that do not dip below the collarbones.” When the student’s mother brought a loose scarf to cover the “indecent” area, the school’s principle still deemed the scarf inappropriate. “The whole idea behind the dress code is to make sure you have a safe learning
environment, and that’s what we’re trying to create,” said Scott Hawkins, the Woodford County Schools superintendent. Ironically, the implementation of such a strict dress code takes more focus away from education than the minor display of a teenage body does. However unpopular, high school dress codes are a vital part of expanding students’ knowledge of workplace appropriateness and professional dress. These guidelines provide a sense of self awareness in that students are able to gauge how to dress for future professional events. After all, clothing is a huge part of making a first impression and can significantly impact how people view the person wearing the chosen attire. It’s better that teenagers learn this in high school, because once they get to college and become adults, the “real world” will demand the application of professional attire. If you search through the university Code of Student Conduct, you’ll notice that there
“
is no mention of a dress code at all. What does it mean for colleges to not implement the codes that students were forced to obey in high school? Associate Dean of Students Kathy Adams Riester shares some insight on the answer. “In the Student Code of Conduct under ‘Behaviors,’ you can see we list some serious issues such as prohibited items, underage drinking, fighting, sexual assault and theft, but not dress code,” she said. “We believe that coming into college, students should know what is appropriate to wear and what isn’t, and we fully trust that they are able to conduct themselves as the adults they are on campus. That way, we can focus on the more serious issues mentioned that may actually be a potential hazard to the students’ well-being.” UA policy equates student attire with city regulations, making the issue of what’s indecent consistent with real-world standards.
The implementation of such a strict dress code takes more focus away from education than the minor display of a
teenage body does.”
Undeniably Tucson’s Most Upscale Gentlemen’s Clubs
“We treat dress code issues the same way that the city does, so if a student’s attire is in conflict with the city’s public indecency law, then the matter will be taken into legal hands with the [University of Arizona Police Department],” Adams Riester said. Adams Riester’s explanation is the exact reason why the implementation of a dress code in college is pointless and unnecessary. As students, we pay thousands of dollars each year to attend an institution understanding our own responsibility to dress appropriately. We are adults; the way we represent ourselves reflects how we feel about the institution that so graciously accepted us, and it also reflects how the institution will view us and how serious they will take us in our endeavors. In the end, it’s all about the learning environments that certain institutions are trying to create. In high school it’s easier to regulate settings in order to create a desired environment, whereas in college it’s more difficult just because there are thousands of students to be held accountable.
