Bugging out at the 2016 Arizona Insect Festival BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan
The 2016 Arizona Insect Festival allowed patrons to meet, greet and even eat some of Arizona’s native insect species this past Sunday in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom. Hosted by the Department of Entomology, the festival featured not only UA scientists, but as well as many community groups including the National Park Service and the Southeast Arizona
Butterfly Association. This year, participants had the opportunity to sample mealworm-andonion nachos, hold a hissing cockroach or a more docile caterpillar and learn all about the wide variety of insects that share Tucson’s desert ecosystem. UA graduate student Angela Hoover has been volunteering at the festival for three years and said the interactive booths are a huge draw. “Everyone wants to come and see and touch,” Hoover said.

While the booth Hoover volunteered at this year didn’t allow any handling of the insects—that particular booth’s bombardier beetles mix foul-smelling chemicals in their abdomens to shoot when startled—she said kids were definitely still interested, mostly because of the smell. John Palting, an entomology PhD. candidate, agreed that kids tended to like anything they could touch or anything too gross to touch, as he handed out caterpillars

In the aftermath of the Orlando Bradford domestic violence arrest, the biggest concern for the Arizona Wildcats was who was going to provide insurance for Nick Wilson. After the Wildcats handedly beat the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors 47-28 Saturday behind running back J.J. Taylor’s 168-yard rushing performance on 18 carries, the freshman may have solidified his role as a key component to the offense. Taylor allowed the game to come to him and shined in the second half. “It was fun. It was a lot of fun actually,” Taylor said. Playing a team like Hawaii isn’t the most effective way of evaluating Taylor’s performance, considering the Warriors are ranked No. 126 in the country in total defense. For an even more eye-opening statistic, Hawaii is the worst school defensively in giving up total points over the course of four games, with 150 points allowed. Hawaii’s defense was suspect again, but Saturday’s game was about Taylor receiving more exposure than just a thirddown back. An extra body in the running rotation turned into the tailback that head coach Rich Rodriguez leaned on for most of the game after Wilson left with a left leg injury in the first quarter. Rodriguez wasn’t stunned with Taylor’s efforts because the game plan never altered. “[I’m] not surprised at all and we were going to run it a lot anyway,” Rodriguez said. “When Nick was hurt, obviously [Taylor] was the guy and he’s a tough, competitive player.” Taylor has a high ceiling compared to some of the other notable backs Rodriguez has coached.

Pearl Harbor survivor visits USS Arizona exhibit Lauren Bruner, 95, served on the USS Arizona and visited “The Life and Legacy of the U.S.S. Arizona” 75 years after the battleship’s sinking BY JESSICA SURIANO @jessicasuriano
Lauren Bruner, a 95-year-old World War II veteran and survivor of the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, returned to the UA campus on Sept. 16 to view the Special Collections’ exhibit, “The Life and Legacy of the U.S.S. Arizona.” He was also presented the plans for the USS Arizona memorial that will be constructed on the UA Mall. The memorial and exhibit were made in remembrance of the 1,177 shipmates Bruner lost while serving on the USS Arizona during the 1941 attack. Some of the items currently on display at the Special Collections exhibit include photographs, signed documents and clothing of the fallen crew members. “It’s like coming back home again,” Bruner said. Trent Purdy is a co-curator for the collection and has been working with it for over two years. He said all the materials in the collection were donated by men who served on the ship or by their families. In recent years collectors of items from the Pearl Harbor attack have gotten word of this exhibit and donated to it, according to Purdy. “It’s really important to us because it shows that they see us as good stewards of these materials, to preserve them and make them available to researchers,” Purdy said. “[Bruner] came last year and he’s come here several times, but it was always kind of my dream to have one of the survivors come and view this exhibit…there’s only six of them left.” Bill Westcott, who lost his uncle on USS Arizona and now serves on the UA’s Library Advancement Board, gave the presentation to Bruner about the details of the USS Arizona mall memorial. “I’m here to pay back, and help out,” Westcott said. “The memorial is a full-scale outline of the

USS Arizona laid inside the curb of the grassy mall—stretching 600-feet long and 100-feet wide, running from the steps of Old Main to the Desert Garden.” The memorial on the Mall will be the largest USS Arizona memorial in existence once it is completed besides the actual ship itself, according to Westcott. He said his hope is that the memorial will serve as an everyday reminder of the men who gave their lives at Pearl Harbor and also of the men and women still sacrificing their lives today “to keep America and the world free from tyranny.” “Teaching, learning and sacrificing—what could be more emblematic of Wildcat spirit?” Westcott said. The Special Collections archive for the exhibit also partnered with Arizona Athletics for the 75th anniversary of the attack to extend the remembrance of the men into UA’s football game against the University of Hawaii. Bruner was the guest of honor at the game, and the players wore special uniforms that commemorated the battleship. “We can’t forget that they’re the ones out there competing and on any other day, they could be out there fighting,” Westcott said. After the presentation of the Mall memorial, Bruner went back into the exhibit room and said why it is important that people, and especially students who may not understand the importance of his late shipmates’ sacrifice at first glance, know about how they gave their lives to preserve the freedom of everyone else’s. “Somebody’s gonna have to tell ‘em,” Bruner said. “They gotta know that their ancestors were well-involved … and they should be proud of ‘em.” JESUS BARRERA/THE DAILY WILDCAT

and explained the difference between incomplete and complete metamorphosis to a group of eager children. Pointing out a large, glass tank of dung beetles, Palting said that he just “threw those in” as an extra draw, since he really focuses on caterpillars. “The kids usually love it, and the parents are usually a little freaked out,” Palting said. “I like to try to get stuff out in the open—not in cages—and in people’s faces.” Palting said that the festival tries to “highlight the organisms that people are actively working with,” and make people “familiar with what’s in their backyards.” Each year, the festival spotlights one native species for that reason. This year it was the Western Hercules Beetle, an insect that Hoover described as “the cow of the insect world” due to its size. A type of rhinoceros beetle, Western Hercules Beetles can grow to three inches long and—true to their name—the males sport horns. The large, shiny beetles were passed from hand to hand at their booth, with some children getting on eye level with the insect and others shying away. Brother and sister Zarek and Zaida Phelps represented both ends of that spectrum. Zarek let the beetle walk across his palm, glancing to his mother, Kayla Phelps, every so often for reassurance. Zaida, on the other hand, refused to let the “gross” star-of-theshow anywhere near her. “I like holding the bugs and touching the bugs,” Zarek said. He called the cricket cookie he tried “good” as well, while Zaida made a face in disgust. No matter the reaction, the overall engagement is what matters, according to Palting. “[Insects] are everywhere, available to everyone,” Palting said. “This is a good way to get kids into science.” Girl Scout Troop 122 was doing just that

as they toured the booths. While some troop members cupped cockroaches in their hands, petting them to make them hiss, others used a less hands-on approach to learning. Mia Valdivia stuck close to her father, Erwin, and kept an eye on the cockroach a friend held as she talked about everything she had learned. She called the insects
“interesting,” but in the end said she still didn’t like bugs. Hoover said the festival has more subtle benefits for the entomology department as a whole as well. Since it’s mostly the graduate students who go out and collect all the insects in the week or so leading up to the festival, that creates a fun and social atmosphere after the stress of organizing everything.
“It really brings everyone together,” Hoover said. “Entomology can be a fragmented department at times because everyone has their specialty groups [of insects].” Palting added that he spent about 60 hours collecting insects for the festival, but he too thinks it’s all worth it. “It’s a challenge, but it’s fun and rewarding,” Palting said.

New UA OER committee tackles task of combating the rising cost of textbooks BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffeman
The UA has started an Open Educational Resources initiative to combat the rising costs of textbooks. Open Educational Resources are resources that are in the public domain, usually with an open license that allows anyone to use and adapt them. They’re an often peer-reviewed, free or significantly cheaper alternative to traditional, commercial textbooks. In a 2014 U.S. PIRG survey, 65 percent of college students surveyed said they decided not to purchase at least one textbook due to cost factors. On top of that, this year’s U.S. PIRG study found that new textbook prices have risen 73 percent over the last ten years. These findings combine to form a financial situation that students can find hard to handle. Lieren Hefner, a speech language and hearing sciences junior, spent $350 on textbooks this semester and didn’t buy all of them—she said that if she had, she would’ve paid closer to $500. “We’re already paying so much for tuition, and then books on top?” Hefner said. “I feel like I need to get them before school starts and then we barely use them. I’d rather go online anyways.”
Cheryl Cuillier is an associate librarian and UA’s OER coordinator. She helped the UA become part of a 2013-2014 open textbook pilot program and now works with the Office of Instruction and Assessment, UA Bookstores, the Office of Digital Learning, University Information Technology Services, the Disability Resource Center and the Associated Students of the University of Arizona to promote the use of OER. Cuillier said that most OER textbooks are high quality, have a lot of flexibility and are very customizable by faculty. The UA offers an open text adoption workshop for faculty to help them learn about OER and answer any questions and concerns they may have about the program. Last year, 25 faculty members attended. Cuillier is hoping a similar number show up this year. Awareness is the biggest obstacle right now, Cuillier said, with access following just behind it. There’s currently no central repository for OER, and since many opensource textbooks are funded by grants, they tend to focus more on large enrollment classes—not smaller, more specific subjects. But the UA just added over 250 open text books to the library catalog, making

RECENTLY PARTNERING WITH OPENSTAX, the UA is helping promote the use of open educational resources in college classrooms. So far, students can choose from a selection of 19 open-source textbooks which can be accessed for free via Openstax online webpage or through UA’s Main Library.
them easier for faculty to look up. Cuillier is hoping this change will remove one barrier to access. Cuillier said it’s unlikely there will be open texts for every subject in the world, and the UA will always have a place for commercial textbooks. But that doesn’t stop her from spreading the word about open textbooks to as many faculty members as possible. “They have complete academic freedom [in choosing a textbook] … this is just one option for
them,” Cuillier said. Chris Impey, an astronomy professor who stopped using a traditional textbook 10 years ago, said he has been on all three sides of the textbook situation, as an instructor, an author and as a person buying the books. He called the current system a classic negative feedback loop in which something has to give. “I guess someone is getting a lot of money off this, and it’s not me,” Impey said.
According to the 2014 PIRG Study, five publishing companies control more than 80 percent of the textbook market, meaning they’re the ones reaping the monetary benefits. Even with that view, Impey thinks the current textbook model is unsustainable, since the faculty members who chose the books are not the ones “feeling the pain” of paying for them. He pointed to sources like Wikipedia as another possibility, one that students are already using,
especially if they choose not to buy a textbook. “Most kids, when they want to learn something, it’s their first stop, and sometimes their last stop,” Impey said. “Most of the content is pretty good and super current.” Alexander Osborn, an electrical engineering junior, turned to internet textbooks when he found print prices to be too high. Osbron rented all his textbooks from Amazon this semester for $50, which he said would have equated to a $250 total at the bookstore. “It’s the cheapest and easiest way I found,” Osborn said. “In electrical engineering, there are a lot of big books.” His aversion to buying books started his freshman year, when he bought a custom UA unbound book at the Bookstore, only to find a PDF of the book online that matched it exactly. “The only thing custom about it is the label,” Osborn said. Cuillier said that while textbooks are expensive, the bookstore isn’t trying to gouge students. “The bookstore has been an awesome partner,” Cuillier said. “They do everything they can. UA bookstores are kind of legendary in the bookstore world.”

POLICE BEAT BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1
Post-it problems A University of Arizona Police Department officer and a resident assistant were on duty in Coronado Residence Hall when they saw a door covered in gray and pink post-it notes, all containing handwritten messages on them, on Sept. 6. Some of the messages seemed threatening and intimidating to the RA and the officer. The messages said things such as, “Sleep W/ one eye open,” “We gunna kill you,” “Watch UR Back,” and “fight me.” There were 87 total post-it notes on the door to the room, while no doors around the room had post-its on them similar to that door. Several RAs photographed the post-its and then removed them with the officer. The officer knocked on the door, but no one answered. Another resident in the hall said that one of the room’s residents was in a study room and he would get him. One of the room’s resident came back with two women. The resident said the post-it notes were a joke. The two women were the ones who put the post-it notes on his door. The women both said their actions were meant to be a joke and none of the comments were serious. The resident said he wasn’t threatened and he knew it was a joke and didn’t want to pursue charges. The officer told the two women that the UA doesn’t tolerate threats of violence and that if the resident had wanted to pursue enforcement action, he could have. The two women each received a Code of Conduct referral to the Dean of Students. Fake it ‘til ... you get caught? A UAPD officer was in a patrol vehicle at the stop sign on Fifth Street at Park Avenue and was waiting for traffic to pass on Sept. 5 when they saw two men standing by the Metro Wildcat. One was wearing an emptylooking backpack and when he saw the police car, the man began texting on his phone. The officer then entered the parking lot and walked to the entrance of the store because past occurrences of similaer behavior were consistent of an underage person waiting for alcohol to be purchased. Another man exited the store carrying a 30-pack of beers and according to the officcer he didn’t look to be 21-years-old. The officer asked the store clerk what state the man’s ID was from, and the clerk said that the ID had been from Ohio. The officer saw the men walking with another man, so they followed them into a parking lot. The officer told the three men to sit on the ground when he saw them standing around the backpack and putting beer into it. They complied and after identifying themselves were found to be under 21-years-old. When the officer asked about a fake ID, one man gave him it. The men, all UA students, were cited and released for minor in possession and one for misrepresentation of age to purchase. The student with the backpack had to complete an FYI to Dean of Students. The officer then poured out the beer.

Differences highlighted in Greek Life policies BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall
Sororities and fraternities both fall under the umbrella of Greek Life, but while both institutions offer similar opportunities, a number of prevalent differences exist. For example, the GPA requirement to rush a fraternity at the UA is lower than it is to rush a sorority. While the requirement differs among the 12 sororities, the average minimum high school GPA requirement is a 3.0, and the average minimum college requirement is a 2.75. The minimum high school GPA requirement to rush a fraternity, on the other hand, is 2.75, and the minimum college requirement is 2.5. The UA Interfraternity Council decides the rush GPA requirement, while the UA Panhellenic Council lets its individual chapters determine their requirements, according to Trace Camacho, director of Fraternity and Sorority Programs and assistant dean of students. Another significant difference between the two is that fraternities are allowed to throw parties at their respective houses, while sororities cannot. Camacho said that this is a National Panhellenic Council policy. While these rules are not necessarily in the hands of the members of Greek Life, some individuals do not agree with these national and

local policies. Sam Tankenoff, a family studies and human development sophomore and Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority member, said she finds issue with the fact that sororities can’t throw parties. “I believe that these differences are sexist,” Tankenoff said. “Sororities are not allowed to throw parties because it will ruin their image or create conflict for the university. But why should
it matter if boys throw a party or girls throw a party? We should be considered equal, so I don’t understand why it matters what gender hosts a party.” Some people agree with the national rule. Reuben Nach, a pre-business freshman and Zeta Beta Tau fraternity member, sees the benefit of this policy. “I think it is a great way of doing it because if
sororities hosted the parties and any fraternity could come, things would get out of hand,” Nach said. Tankenoff and Nach don’t see GPA standards as a poor reflection on fraternities or on Greek Life, though. “While we might have higher GPA standards when rushing, I know fraternities use many tools to help their brothers with their grades,” Tankenoff said. “Academic support should be important for everyone in Greek Life. To me, the differences are surface level. Being involved in Greek Life can significantly help a person raise or maintain their grades.” Nach added that since joining his fraternity in August, he spends at least eight hours in the library per week with his fraternity brothers. Sororities and fraternities also have different rush processes. Camacho said that while the formal rush process is similar between the two, more fraternities than sororities will continue recruiting after the formal recruitment process ends. Despite these differences, all sorority and fraternity chapters in Greek Life at the UA share the same values. The pillars of Greek Life are scholarship, leadership, brotherhood or sisterhood, service and networking, according to the UA Greek Life website.
Diamond Children’s gets new hospital school BY MICHELLE JAQUETTE @MichelleJaquet
While wandering the halls of a pediatric hospital on the East coast in 2008, UA graduate student and mother of four, Jackie Picton, was stressed and concerned having just seen her child hospitalized. During this time, Picton saw her first hospital school where kids receiving treatment could go to get help with missed school work so they could keep learning and stay caught up with their peers. This memory would stay with Picton for a long time. In 2012, while Picton was living in Tucson and volunteering at Diamond Children’s Medical Center, she met a 16-year-old boy who had recently been diagnosed with leukemia. While talking to his mother, Picton found out that the boy’s biggest concern was that he wouldn’t be able to graduate high school with his friends. “I think I’ll never forget that because that’s when the light bulb really went on for me,” Picton said. “That’s when I really realized what I wanted to accomplish here.” Picton wanted to bridge the gap between patients and schools, so when she was applying for graduate
school at the UA, Picton mentioned to her advisor, associate professor of psychology, Michelle Perfect, that she wanted to help create a hospital school program at Diamond Children’s. Although Perfect had not heard of a hospital school program before, she said Picton sold her on it. In an email interview, Perfect said she was “amazed by [Picton’s] enthusiasm for the program and excited about the prospect of working collaboratively with healthcare professionals to bring educational and support services to youth who were in the hospital or receiving intensive outpatient services.” After three years of research and networking, the women are finally seeing their plan become a reality and through joint funding from Banner Health and the UA College of Education, a hospital program has been established at Diamond Children’s. Extensive research has brought Picton to believe that this new program is the only universityaffiliated hospital school in the nation. On Aug. 15, Banner–University Medical Center Tucson hired Ashley Brock, a teacher of 17 years, as a fulltime education specialist for patients needing help in grades K-12.
“The first week I was just blown away, you know, because here you have this adorable little girl who’s been in the hospital for two months and school’s been started for a month and they were just handing her coloring sheets,” Brock said. As Brock spoke to the little girl, she realized that her learning level was much higher and she began to work with her at her ability level. Over the past weeks, Brock has shadowed various hospital staff and last week traveled to Phoenix to observe the hospital school programs already in Banner’s two Phoenix locations. Brock said that she has already realized what a deep emotional connection patients have with their school. “School serves as their job, it serves as their ticket for the future, it serves as their social circle, and it serves as a source of confidence and a source of pride,” Brock said. “So you’re taking so many of those different avenues that are really crucial in their lives and you’re kind of making their whole life about the illness.” Picton calls herself the “guinea pig” intern, but said they hope to add many more internships to the

program soon. UA students studying primary and secondary education and special education would be perfect for the role, according to Picton. Students studying any subject area from science and math to English would make wonderful volunteers, according to Brock. Brock said that one person cannot
teach to every need and ability in the K-12 range, who already encountered a student with geometry homework that she herself could not teach. Picton said she has already received an outpouring of offers from professors and fellow students asking to volunteer for the program.

Women in politics are being judged more for what they wear rather than the strength of their policies
BY CLAUDIA DRACE @DailyWildcat
P
olitics in the U.S. has many layers that go beyond American values and morals. Every aspect of a politician’s public and personal life is scrutinized. Female politicians, being the minority, typically face a different kind of media attention than men. Of course there is overlap in media coverage between men and women, but the focus on fashion in politics tends to be a hotter topic for women than for men. There have been questionable cases in recent political history that make me think women’s fashion has become glorified so much that it distracts from what the politician is saying or doing. I Googled “Bill Clinton DNC” and “Melania Trump RNC.” The three words, in order, that show up when I type in “Bill Clinton DNC” are speech, 2016 and balloons. When I enter “Melania Trump RNC” the three available words are dress, fashion and white dress. The speeches of both the potential first lady and first gentleman were criticized by their audiences for different reasons. Trump’s speech was a particularly big deal because of the similarities to Michelle Obama’s speech from the Democratic National Convention a few years back. Despite her controversial speech, nothing came up about the speech in the search bar, rather, it was content about what she wore to the Republican National Convention. This obsession with women’s fashion, even in the political sphere shows the correlation between women and fashion in politics. The clothes that a woman wears, it seems, are taken more seriously than the words that come out of her mouth. In June earlier this year, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was in the headlines for wearing an Armani jacket that costs an upward of $12,000. Many were outraged by the hypocritical message she seemed to be sending, as the speech was about income inequality. Time.com published an article titled

“The Internet Is Mad That Hillary Clinton Dresses Nicely” around the time of the Armani jacket incident. The article, written by Alicia Adamczyk, points out Donald Trump’s ironic wardrobe. Trump’s platform is about creating jobs for U.S. citizens and deporting illegal immigrants in order to make more jobs, but he sings this speech whilst wearing a $17,000 Brioni suit— made by a company in Italy. How is Trump’s wardrobe any less hypocritical than Clinton’s? It’s understandable to own a nice Italian suit as a rich man, but even his own clothing line is outsourced to China for production,

which completely counteracts his platform for producing more jobs in the U.S. It cannot be said with 100 percent certainty that Clinton’s story exploded because she is a woman, but there has to be some connection between her gender and this story, considering the value the media places on the fashion of high profile women. Adamczyk posed an interesting question at the end of her article: “Had she worn a $20 Target dress, would that have made a difference? Or would she instead be ridiculed for trying to be one of the people?” When you are a woman in politics, there is a fine line between what an acceptable
wardrobe is and what is not. Politicians are expected to dress presentably, and act the part of the celebrity they’ve become, but only to a certain extent. The problem is when the substance of what a woman has to say is minimized by the focus on her wardrobe. Part of politics is entertainment, which is what this media mentality emulates. It’s important to remember that politics are supposed to be a conversation about real world issues and when the color, the designer or the price gets in the way of that, it’s demeaning toward all politicians—whether they be male or female.

Internet era blues: Will the demonetization of content be the downfall of YouTube? BY ANNETTA NIT @DailyWildcat
Y
ouTube made some new policies public to its creators on Aug. 31 in regards to what kind of content is allowed on YouTube. The media giant claims these new policies will allow for the dissemination of content appropriate for all ages. The YouTube community, from creators to viewers, are not taking the updates too kindly. The ad-friendly content guidelines are up and public for everyone to see. What YouTube considers to be inappropriate content includes, but is not limited to: Sexually suggestive content, including partial nudity and sexual humor; violence, including the display of injury or an event of violent extremism; inappropriate language, including harassment and profanity; promotion of drugs or substances, including selling, usage and abuse; and controversial subjects and events, including war, politics, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphics aren’t shown.
Essentially, if YouTube deems that a video is inappropriate based off the content listed, it reserves the right to revoke monetization from ad revenue. Some of these policies are already known to many YouTube users who discovered the updates by losing monetization on their videos. YouTube has commented that these guidelines are just for making its policies more clear, but is also seems to be refusing to make any further comments in regards to its ad-friendly content guidelines. The demonetized content listed as inappropriate is a majority of what good YouTube content is, so it doesn’t make sense that YouTube is deciding to demonetize such an important base of contributors. While it makes sense for some of the content listed to be inappropriate, the fact that YouTube also plans to demonetize videos that have controversial topics doesn’t make sense. That would mean channels that focus on recent events and news would be taking a hit from YouTube’s ad-friendly content guidelines. Think of channels similar to The Young Turks, a channel notorious for their liberal views on controversial events and politics. Does YouTube not want its viewers to
continue using the website to educate themselves? I tend to follow several YouTubers at any given time on Twitter. What I’ve noticed is that the smaller channels, the ones that haven’t hit a million subscribers, are the ones expressing the most outrage regarding Youtube’s ad-friendly content policies. Channels such as Einshine and The Anime Man have said that they’ve been forced to start making serious changes, including changing content and taking on a second job because of the lost sources of income from YouTube. That brings up a few questions—is YouTube being biased with which types of content it is demonetizing? Are the big channels being affected at all? Almost every single YouTuber I follow has made at least one comment on this new policy change, ranging from indifference to rampant concern for their channel’s new standing. It’s understandable that big channels are not affected as much as other channels, as they are probably important revenue generators for YouTube itself. If they have been successful, chances are they can also find a means to gaining revenue other than viewership, such as selling their own merchandise.
Video blogger Philip DeFranco addressed the uproar on YouTube’s ad-friendly policy, when he mentioned that videos were being demonetized without notification to creators even though they didn’t fall under what was inappropriate according to YouTube. The whole ordeal became seemingly much more unfair. I’ve been using YouTube as a viewer since I was probably 13 years old, and I can say things were more simplistic back when all people cared about were animated music videos and skits. Now with YouTubers following the trends of other YouTubers, there’s suddenly a concern for what content is being shown on a website that thrives off diverse content. It seems like YouTube is making these changes not for the sake of censorship or providing content appropriate for the viewer, but for the sake of business. Seeing people questioning whether or not they can make a living doing what they love on YouTube is hard for me to think about. Many YouTubers, while their primary objective is to either inform or entertain, truly enjoy what they do and viewers love to watch what they do. YouTube is losing its appeal now that much of its content is suppressed by demonetization. We can only hope that YouTube reconsiders its policy changes after hearing this uproar.
Tips, tricks for staying informed in the internet age The internet made a wealth of new information available and it’s easy to get lost. Learn how to stay informed with smart social media
BY LEAH GILCHRIST @leahcgilchrist
W
ith a world of information at your fingertips, who you choose to follow and what organizations you choose to follow can play a key role in shaping your perception of the world. In the digital age, the internet has become a staple in the lives of millennials and young adults especially. In 2014, the average adult spent 20 hours a week on the internet, a previous study showed them spending an average nine hours a week in 2005. Internet usage has apparently doubled as smartphones and tablets have become essentials. The internet has transformed our ability to receive information, including
how we consume news. These days, most Americans consume news and information through online sources, digital resources and social media. According to a 2016 Pew Research Center study, the number of Americans consuming news through online resources is nearly double the number consuming print news. The rise of social media has further opened the channels through which we receive information. With a smartphone in our pocket, checking a news feed is always just a few swipes away. We fill our news feeds with updates from friends, family and now more than ever, our favorite organizations. In recent years, social media has proven to be an online marketplace for information. With a few clicks we can see what friends abroad are doing, what new video has gained short-term fame and, more importantly, what’s happening in the world around us. Consumers ages 18 to 34 have fallen in a new generation of news consumption,
one that primarily revolves around social media. Following a news organization on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram seems to keep you just a bit wiser as to what’s happening globally. According the Pew Research Center’s 2015 study on social media, 65 percent of adults use social networking sites—a 58 percent increase from 2005. Interest and social media has skyrocketed over the last decade. While many adults use social media to keep up with updates from friends and to share content, it’s also important to use available resources wisely to keep ourselves up to date. Many people see social media sites as a place for fun or spending down time, but we should also see these sites as a credible channel to receive information. Nearly every major organization has at least one, often multiple, social media platforms that its audience can follow. A wealth of information means we get to choose what we see on our newsfeed and the responsibility of
finding credible, informative sources of information is a responsibility that falls back on the user. When users selectively choose to only follow friends, to only follow certain celebrities or news organizations, they’re narrowing their vision of the world. The downfall of having more information and selecting channels is that we can completely opt-out of receiving information we don’t know we need. It’s important to remember that with the amount of information we can find on the internet, how informed we are of the world is a reflection of our effort toward that end. Social media sites can play a huge role in linking us to bigger news stories and better information. The more channels we follow, the more we open up our own world, and open ourselves to the information of what’s happening around us.

SARAH GZEMSKI POSES IN front of the Wall of Poets at the Poetry Center on Friday, Sept. 16. The UA’s historic Poetry Center launched a photographic collection of portraits of poets from the late collection of LaVerne Harrell Clark.
Poetry Center's photographic collection captures emotion of over 1,000 poets BY SARAH BRIGGS @SarahBriggs11
Thriving with creativity, the University of Arizona Poetry Center is an inspiring and well-renowned place for poetry and creative writing. The Poetry Center, founded in 1960, is fully open to the public and has remained an essential aspect of the poetry community within Tucson throughout the years. The Poetry Center just launched a photographic collection of portraits of poets from the late collection of LaVerne Harrell Clark. “LaVerne Harrell Clark, the Poetry Center’s first director, was a photographer and when she died, approximately 12,000 film negatives and photographic prints of portraits of poets were donated to the Poetry Center,” said Sarah Gzemski, the publicity and publications
manager for the Poetry Center. Beginning with an average of 12,000 film negatives and photographic prints, the photographs were donated to the UA Poetry Center by L.D. Clark for the estate of Ms. Clark. The photographs date from 1960 to 2007 and are some of the only existing photos of many of the poets. “Many of these photographs were taken here at the UA, the Poetry Center and in Tucson which is part of what makes them so special,” Gzemski said. “It is a great way to see writers from this area, and this collection benefits the UA because people will credit the UA for these photographs.” More than 1,000 of these previously unpublished photographs are now featured online for people to view and use. The Poetry Center itself possesses one of the greatest print and digital collections of
contemporary poetry in the country, making it a leading example of poetry archives in the country. “The photographs are now free for use in articles and research,” Gezemski said. “As long as people credit the UA Poetry Center in their work, these photos are free for anyone.” Some of the photographed poets include Ai, John Ashbery, Margaret Atwood, Ted Berrigan and many more. Gzemski said that the photographs feature both well-known poets and more under-theradar poets. The diversity of the collection serves as one of its unique characteristics. A big part of what makes Clark’s photographs so special is the animation captured in the subject’s faces. “This collection includes very amazing people,” Johnson said. “The photographs of these poets are all very human and very alive.” Clark’s collection was launched online in
August for anyone to view. “The photographs are here [at the UA Poetry Center] forever,” Gzemski said. “We store the negatives in the rare books room but many of the photographs are also online, which contributes to the poetry community world wide.” This collection remains essential to the poetry and creative writing community throughout the world. “Poetry is both beautiful and personal,” said Lo Kidd, a creative writing sophomore. Kidd said that this collection adds to the the varied beauty that poetry can hold. “This photography collection is magnificent in its scope,” Gezemski said. “LaVerne Harrell Clark had such a way of capturing people in photos that really sees into their personality. Her photographs really display the character of these poets, and that is fascinating.”

School of Art exhibition translates Snapchat streaks to the physical realm BY NINA ULLOA @nine_u
What happens when Snapchat goes physical? “473 ,” an exhibition at the Lionel Rombach Gallery at the School of Art, explores this idea. Wren Gardiner a photography senior, and UA fine arts graduate student Maya Hawk translated a digital form of interaction to the physical realm. Hawk is resident photographer at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tucson, and Gardiner expects to graduate this December. Both artists favor fine art photography and enjoy working in a variety of mediums, which explains their gravitation toward Snapchat. “As far as subject matter goes, I am very interested in things that have to do with technology, health and trendy things, and just things that I feel like are very millennial,” Gardiner said. “I am very of this age and I love it.” The two friends have communicated via Snapchat since June 2015. The title of the exhibition refers to a 473-day Snapchat streak, which the app notates with a emoji. “We are currently at a 489 day streak,” Hawk said. Snapchat has become a primary mode of communication for the two artists. “We pretty much have had a streak since we became Snapchat friends,” Gardiner said. “We were both always really fast to respond to each other.” The artists have collected close to 10,000 photos and 500 videos from their Snapchat interactions. The exhibition pulls bits and pieces from the duo’s extensive library of interaction. The varying forms of media within Snapchat make the app unique. “[It] combines traditional ways of communicating into one app, which only now other apps and social networks are starting to incorporate,” Hawk said. “473 ” isolates each form of communication within the app. This includes photos, text, videos and illustrations. “We wanted to isolate each piece, because that makes them even more devoid of the app and makes them tangible objects of

their own,” Hawk said. The physical deconstruction of a Snapchat feels foreign, yet recognizable to users. “It’s also interesting to see them as their own object because they don’t really make sense that way, but, all together, they do,” Gardiner said. “It’s fascinating how little we notice each thing when they’re all together in one Snap.” Looking at the collection of communication feels voyeuristic. Viewers are looking at something that wasn’t intended for their eyes. “I don’t think I realized how very personal
the show was, which in hindsight is silly of me,” Hawk said. “However, everything is fragmented, so no real information can be gathered by the photos, videos, text and illustrations. It’s intimate and about a relationship, but I don’t think it’s specifically just about just Wren and I. It could be about everyone who interacts in this way.” The artists feel that Snapchat empowers digital natives to express themselves. “I do think that whoever designed it is insane and just knows how people communicate,” Gardiner said. “Another thing about Snapchat, especially within
What do the emojis mean on Snapchat?
our show, is that it’s a time based app, which isn’t how most social networks are. So everyone can express themselves more freely—it never keeps you bored because it’s ever changing, it’s ahead of everyone.” “473 ” shows at the Lionel Rombach Gallery at the School of Art through Sept. 22. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The exhibition’s closing reception will take place on Sept. 22 at 2 p.m.

Dogs of UA: Jax, Jax relax on the Mall BY TAYLOR BRESTEL @DailyWildcat
School is back in session and that means thousands of people are walking, biking and driving around campus at all hours of the day. This also means there are more dogs to see and pet around campus. The UA Mall is a popular place to find dogs, since it has plenty of grass for pups to play on. Most dog-finding happens during the evenings—after class lets out, students bring their dogs to campus. The dogs of UA are as diverse as the students and faculty. Some play sports and some lay in the grass soaking up the sun, but most are walking from one place to another, exploring campus and meeting new friends. One dog exploring the UA campus was Jax, a 5-year-old
yorkie poodle. His owner, Ashley Stracener, took him for a walk while she waited for her fiancé to get out of class. Jax used to belong to Ashley’s grandmother, but when she couldn’t take care of him anymore, she decided to adopt the dog. He likes to go on walks and is very photogenic, but it was hard to get him to sit still to take a picture. Jax was so excited about everything. “He loves being with his family,” Stracener said. “And every single toy—he loves toys.” Jax has a hidden talent as well. “When I say ‘achoo,’ he’ll go get me tissue paper from the bathroom,” Stracener said. He also sings. “Everything is special about him,” Stracener said. “He has a good heart. He’s the best dog I’ve ever had.” Jax seems to be a popular dog name. The American Kennel Club had it in their top-100 boy dog names list last year, so it’s no surprise that another Jax was wandering around UA. This
5-year-old boxer was seen on the UA Mall with his owners. Zina and Kaveh Namazy, Jax’s owners, like to walk him around the UA campus—Kaveh’s alma mater. They found Jax on Craigslist and adopted him. He likes to play with all kinds of toys, but loves his rope toy most of all. “He’s very friendly, very playful,” Zina said. Jax likes all forms of transportation, which one time got him into big trouble. “He loves to go for walks,” Zina said. “He loves car rides, too. He’ll run out of the house and go sit by the car.” Zina said Jax once pushed a gate open and escaped. A lady had her car door open and Jax jumped right in, eager to go on a car ride. The couple put an ad on Craigslist and they were reunited with Jax soon after. “He’s very loving, he gets along with everyone,” Namazy said. “But he doesn’t get along with other dogs. Only humans.” Jax is also best friends with their 3-month-old cat, Elvis.

SAMARA ROSENTHAL, CREATOR AND owner of Outcharmed answers questions on University Boulevard on Thursday, Sept. 15. Rosenthal is currently a sophomore majoring in retail and minoring in communications, with dreams of starting her own clothing line.

In the age of social media, it’s easier than ever to start a new business and easily reach a vast amount of people. Pre-retailing and consumer sciences sophomore Samara Rosenthal is, likewise, trying to make a name for her clothing and jewelry line, Outcharmed, via marketing on Facebook and Instagram. Rosenthal, a 19-year-old from Cave Creek, Arizona, has always had an interest in fashion. It was only two months ago, though, that Rosenthal decided to put her pre-retailing major to use by starting her own line of custom clothes and jewelry. Rosenthal, inspired to make and sell items for less, began to tinker with the idea of starting up a business. “There’s this store called LF in California that I went to and I saw these shirts that were $160, and I thought to myself that I could make this for so much cheaper,” Rosenthal said. “So I started making the shirts and chokers. People like my friends and family liked the stuff I was making, so I just decided to make a little business out of it.” Outcharmed began picking up speed from word-of-mouth support in her hometown when Rosenthal asked her friends to model and wear her pieces around town. From there, she went on to create
Instagram and Facebook pages where anyone could order her handmade shirts and necklaces. Rosenthal credits her success here in Tucson to her fashion club and sorority members, who both spread the word about her products on campus. With completely customizable T-shirts and necklaces made to order, it is no wonder Rosenthal’s business is gaining so much traction. Her pieces really are for everyone because customers can tailor and customize their purchases to their exact liking. Outcharmed’s one-of-a-kind merchandise makes Rosenthal’s business stand out against other establishments. “All of my stuff is customizable—you can make it whatever you want,” Rosenthal said. “If you see this and you want a beige string or a specific charm, I can do whatever the customer wants.” Rosenthal named the company Outcharmed to keep with the brand’s theme of personalized, original products. “I like being unique,” Rosenthal said. “I don’t like wearing the same thing that everyone else does, and I feel like the name Outcharmed represents that.” The passion that Rosenthal has for creating is apparent and shines in her work. Her attention to detail adds to her products and takes Outcharmed to the next level. In the future, Rosenthal hopes to make a website and to continue making unique jewelry and clothing creations.

QB emerges from battle, defense still searching ahead of Pac-12 opener against Washington BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
Arizona football improved to 2-1 on the season following the Wildcats’ Saturday night victory over Hawaii, 47-28, at Arizona Stadium. Prior to moving into conference play this week, we take a look at some keys for the team as well as storylines that have emerged in the opening weeks of the 2016-17 season.

Brandon Dawkins vs. Anu Solomon After three games and one big injury to Anu Solomon’s knee, the starting quarterback position is still up in the air. But Brandon Dawkins is making his case loud and clear. Dawkins replaced Solomon in Week 2 after the starter injured his knee mid-week in practice. Dawkins struggled early on against Grambling State but seemed to get his footing in the second half. The experience of playing his first game as a starter seemed to settle his nerves going into the Hawaii game, and Dawkins was solid against the Rainbow Warriors. He brings an element Solomon simply doesn’t: the ability to run. Dawkins ran 15 times for 118 yards and three scores—some designed, some reads and some off of scrambles after play breakdowns. That option in the Pac-12 Conference is vital for success, especially with the Wildcats’ defensive question marks. Keeping Dawkins in at QB would seem to be the best option. Solomon isn’t such a great passer that it warrants taking the element of a Dawkins run out of the game. Dawkins’ accuracy, something that was unsettling against Grambling State, was much improved against Hawaii. Defensive puzzle Defensive coordinator Marcel Yates has his work cut out for him. The defensive line is undersized, which is a big obstacle for the schemes that Yates wants to implement. Every team in the immediate future on Arizona’s upcoming schedule—Washington, UCLA, Utah and USC—will pound
the ball until they get stopped. Arizona will struggle without stunts and blitzing linebackers helping against the run. The Wildcats’ secondary is a work in progress. They have potential, but the realization of that potential may come too late. Communication and soft coverage have plagued the defensive backs thus far, and though they tightened their play against Hawaii, the Rainbow Warriors don’t have the likes of USC’s JuJu Smith-Schuster or Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey. Arizona’s defensive bright spot is that team seems more aggressive in general. There has been a noticeable difference in guys attacking the ball and overall punishment on ball carriers this season. The defense is trending up, but it remains to be seen if that trend halts within the conference’s blood bath of a schedule. Focusing on football Arizona players would probably tell you this season has not been easy due to all the change that has come about—some expected, some not. The death of offensive lineman Zach Hemmila was a blow to everyone within the program, and his impact continues to be missed. Hemmila was slotted to be the starting center and his loss shifted the offensive line into realignment rather quickly. The additions of new coaches in the offseason were changes the defense knew about coming into the year, but it doesn’t mean the adjustments have been any easier. The other major distraction has been the arrest and dismissal of sophomore running back Orlando Bradford. It’s hard to believe another team has had to deal with more than the Wildcats in such a small amount of time. This is not even including the injuries to certain players which have shifted roles on the team. To their credit, there hasn’t been a player or coach yet to complain about any of the distractions, or make excuses. Next up for the Wildcats is No. 9 Washington on Saturday night at Arizona Stadium.

Dawkins rebounds from first-game jitters In a dominant second start of the season, Brandon Dawkins showed Wildcat fans why he should be their QB BY IVAN LEONARD @ Ivan14bro
If quarterback Brandon Dawkins’ first start was solid yet unspectacular, his followup was a masterpiece. He led the Wildcats to a 47-28 win over Hawaii, shredding the Rainbow Warriors’ defense for 235 passing yards and another 118 on the ground on his way to a four-total touchdown performance. Dawkins was more comfortable and more experienced in his second career start, according to head coach Rich Rodriguez. On Arizona’s initial drive, Dawkins accounted for 85 of the team’s 88 yards including a 31-yard run to give Arizona the lead. The fun was just beginning for Arizona’s offense as it put on a clinic against Hawaii. Dawkins opened the game by completing his first seven passes
to give the Wildcats an offensive spark they haven’t seen since last season. With the help of freshman running back J.J. Taylor, the two torched Hawaii on the ground with 286 yards and four scores. When Dawkins was not torching Hawaii with his feet, he was connecting with receiver Shun Brown and company for big plays through the air. Dawkins wasn’t sacked and was able to extend plays with his legs as he did against Grambling State. Arizona scored on its first three possessions of the game as Dawkins led a Nick Wilsonless offense to 34 points in the contest’s first 30 minutes. Without the threat of Wilson in the backfield, Dawkins still found holes in the defense often. Yes, Arizona was playing a porous defense, but Dawkins still took care of business. He didn’t
turn the ball over and made sure Arizona left no doubt who the better team was. If he continues to improve, the quarterback controversy between Dawkins and Anu Solomon could ramp up to an even higher degree. “I have to take advantage of my opportunity, and I did,” Dawkins said. He has definitely earned a chance to try to unseat ninthranked Washington with his performance Saturday night. From his role against ASU last year to his two starts this season, Dawkins has shown steady improvement and has kept his mistakes to a minimum. Over the past few years, Arizona has upset Oregon on two separate occasions and has scored upset wins over USC and Utah while they were both in the top 10. Maybe Dawkins can play right into history.

Pac-12 play set to begin for volleyball, football BY SAUL BOOKMAN @ Saul_Bookman
It is that time of year again—the part of the calendar that has sports fans shivering in excitement and counting down the days until the game is finally here. Of course, I am talking about the Pac-12 Conference play, as if it were anything else. The time for meaningful or meaningless non-conference games has come and gone and it’s finally time to see where the Arizona Wildcats sports teams fall in the pecking order of the only Power Five conference west of Texas.
Volleyball It all starts Wednesday as the Wildcats’ volleyball team renews its rivalry with ASU in a matchup between two squads trying to find their way. ASU, losers of its last two matches, will come to Tucson looking to start strong and improve on its 7-5 non-conference record. Although struggling on the season, ASU is the only team between the two to beat a ranked opponent, scoring a win versus then-No. 17 Santa Clara. The Wildcats have had several opportunities to do so against ranked teams against then-No. 4 Wisconsin, No. 6 Hawaii and No. 16 Texas A&M, but have come up short each time.
Arizona was even swept in two of those three matches. The Wildcats come into conference play on the heels of a five-match winning streak, including a sweep at the Butler Invitational this past weekend. It will be vital for Arizona to get off to a good start when it takes on ASU. After that matchup, the team hits the road to face one of six teams in the Pac-12 ranked in the top 25, facing No. 18 Colorado in Boulder on Sunday. The matchup with ASU takes place on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m., in McKale Center.

Football After struggling to find its way through the nonconference schedule, the Wildcats will start conference play at home against ninthranked Washington. The Huskies beat Arizona 49-3 last year in Seattle. The Huskies are a strong contender to win the Pac-12 North division and conference as a whole this year. Arizona is no stranger to games against highly-ranked Washington teams, the most prominent one coming in 1992 as the Wildcats defeated

the then-No. 1 ranked Huskies 16-3. The prior season, in 1991, Washington embarrassed the Wildcats 54-0 in Seattle. Coincidence? The Wildcats follow up this Saturday’s matchup by going on the road to UCLA and Utah in back-to-back weeks before returning home for family weekend against USC—never an easy task in the Pac-12. Kickoff for Saturday’s matchup is slated for 7:30 p.m. at Arizona Stadium.

games with double-digit rushing attempts, Ka’Deem Carey had four touches for 48 yards against Oregon in 2011 while Wilson had 30 attempts for 174 yards against UTSA. Taylor may possess similar traits to Wilson and Carey, such as earning yards after contact, but he showcased more than a few stiff arms. Taylor made cuts and spin moves that most freshmen wouldn’t make. His breakaway speed shown in a 61-yard touchdown dash in the second half added another dimension to the offense. “He’s got a lot of shiftiness to him obviously and he really is mature beyond his years as far as this level of football,” Rodriguez said. “J.J. is going to get a great opportunity to play a lot.” An opportunity that most running backs wouldn’t get so early in the season, but the depth chart has played into Taylor’s favor and could prove to be a tremendous blessing for the Wildcats. Taylor was a firework waiting to go off and with the backfield starting to deplete, it didn’t derail his preparation at all. “It didn’t affect me at all because as a football
Sports • Monday, September 19-Tuesday, September 20, 2016 player, you have to be prepared for anything and that’s my job; so that’s what I did,” Taylor said. Even though Arizona quarterback Brandon Dawkins was still gelling into the offense in his second start behind center, Taylor made his evening easier and Dawkins showed his appreciation after the game. “Getting more yards, making the drives a lot easier, taking less pressure off of me and getting our run game— so thanks, J.J.,” Dawkins said. Taylor doesn’t resemble the ideal Division-I running back when you compare him to the players of the same position around the country, but Rodriguez said that his 5-foot6 frame has more to it than what meets the eye. “He’s short, but not small,” Rodriguez said. “You look at him— he’s put together, strong and was a tremendous high school player. Sometimes we get caught up in the measurables. … If you want to find a guy that’ll be a really good player in college, find a guy that was a really good player in high school. That’s what he was.” Wilson’s status is still unknown for Arizona’s Pac-12 Conference opener at home against No. 9 Washington, but Rodriguez has to feel confident in his young, rising star.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships
TIPS
FOR
Can you get an STD from oral sex?
Of recent interest is the research, indicating that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), particularly Type 16, causes most oral cancers that usually occur later in life. HPV is spread through direct contact with the skin, genitals, mouth, and anus. Does this mean you shouldn’t have sex (oral or otherwise)? No. But the research indicates that people (ages 9-26) should get vaccinated against HPV. Gardasil-9 and Cervarix vaccines are extremely effective in protecting against HPV strains 16 & 18-the strains most strongly linked with cancers of the cervix, penis, anus, and mouth. Other STIs
may be spread during oral sex but are more commonly passed via vaginal or anal intercourse. These infections include hepatitis B, syphilis, HIV, and HPV (genital warts and cervical dysplasia).
Exposure to semen, “pre-cum,” blood, or vaginal fluid increases the chance of getting an STI. Both the giver and the receiver are at risk. You can reduce your STI risk by using a (flavored) condom when performing oral sex on a penis or using a latex dam (a very thin 5" x 5" square that lays over the vulva) when going down on a woman. Dams can be used for oral-anal sex, too. Buy them at Campus Health or online. If reading this gets you worried about what you’ve done in the past, take action. Find out your STI status. You can get confidential, convenient STI tests at Campus Health, Planned Parenthood, or the Pima County Health Department. For more info, see www.ashastd.org or www.health.arizona.edu.

Yes, you can. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs) can be contracted through oral sex – whether it’s a “blow job” or “going down” on a partner. Herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea are just a few of the infections spread by oral sex, and you can’t always tell if someone has an infection or not. The Herpes Simplex virus can be readily transmitted by skin-to-skin contact even when sores are not visible.
