BROTHER DEAN ARRESTED: Charged with assault, kicked off campus
BY ROCKY BAIER @prof_roxy
Brother Dean Saxton was arrested and booked for one count of assault after kicking Mackenzie Brandt, a freshman criminal justice major, at the Alumni Plaza in front of the Administration building at noon Tuesday, Sept. 20. He was subsequently issued a one-year exclusionary period banning him from campus, per
university policy. Brandt was on her way home from class when she said she heard Saxton preaching from blocks and blocks away. “He was saying very vulgar things,” Brandt said. “I had to go past him in order to get home, so I figured I would approach him and say something.” Saxton was preaching on the hill of the Alumni Plaza close to the Modern Languages building,

saying things like, “Gay people are destroying the country, according to Brandt. He wore a purple shirt with the word “Homo” crossed out in red. A crowd started to form when classes got out at noon and people began yelling at Saxton as he preached. Brandt walked up to confront him but before she could say anything Saxton stood up and kicked her square in the chest. “I got the wind knocked out of me,

and I couldn’t breathe,” Brandt said. “That’s when the girl who was next to me called the police on him and a few minutes after that is when they came and they arrested him.” The girl next to her was Marijke Stoll, an archaeology graduate student, who passed Saxton while walking back to her department and decided to stick around. “I’d never seen him in person

USS Arizona Mall memorial to open DRC to by 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor offer better
resources for families
BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @DailyWildcat
The USS Arizona mall memorial team plans to have the altered memorial project completed no later than Nov. 30, just in time for the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The memorial was made in remembrance of the 1,177 sailors that died serving on the USS Arizona on Dec. 7, 1941 during the attacks on Pearl Harbor. “The initial concept was to embed 1,177 bronze medallions inscribed with the names and details of the sailors and marines killed onboard into the outline of the ship on the mall,” said project designer, David Carter. “That concept was adjusted in the middle of the summer.” The medallions will now be displayed waist-high in a plaza at the center of the mall. The plaza dissects the Student Union Memeorial Center and serves as a walkway that will take you directly to the memorial plaza, according to Charles Albanese, dean emeritus of the UA College of Architecture and UA project liaison. Carter said this change has its advantages. “The memorial will be more accessible,” Albanese said. “People won’t have to get down on their hands and knees to read the inscriptions. This display will also be adjacent to the USS Arizona bell.” He added that being able to see the medallions all together will be more impactful, especially for students, many of whom share the average age of the men who perished on the USS Arizona. “I certainly hope it resonates for students,” said Sean Powell, battalion commander for the UA Navy ROTC program. “It’s definitely humbling for me to know that a lot of the men who died on the ship were younger than me.” Now that construction of the memorial

is underway, some students and staff are apprehensive about the project. “I’m not sure what significance this display has 75 years later,” said Michael Schaller, UA regents professor of history. “We should focus more on the meaning of fighting against totalitarianism. Making a public display of these names isn’t really necessary.” Students seem to be more concerned with the memorial hindering events that take place on the mall throughout the year. “The outline on the mall will be made of a rubberized material similar to that of a running track, which will be level with the lawn,” Albanese explained. He said the mall will remain totally open once construction is completed and

nothing will be disturbed. Upon completion of the project, the UA will hold a ceremony at the USS Arizona mall memorial on Dec. 4. “The plan is to have a ceremony on Sunday, Dec. 4 as a prelude to the 75th anniversary in Pearl Harbor,” Carter said. He added that USS Arizona survivor Lauren Bruner was very happy with the progress on the memorial and hopes to be able to visit during the ceremony. Albanese believes the memorial will be impactful for everyone who sees it. “It’s going to be subtle but very powerful,” he said.

The UA Disability Resource Center recently announced new policies regarding the accommodations for pregnant students and employees with hopes of making the campus environment more inclusive. “Pregnancy is not necessarily a disability, [but] there are certainly pregnancy-related issues that might rise to the level of disability,” said Cheryl Muller, associate director of student access and engagement at the DRC. “[The] DRC will work with pregnant and parenting students to make any reasonable accommodations.” Because pregnancy is considered to have temporary constraints, universities receiving federal financial assistance might be required to provide pregnant students and employees with larger desks, allow frequent trips to the bathroom or permit temporary access to elevators in order to make reasonable adjustments to the regular program, as stated in Title IX. Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, includes discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery from any of these conditions, according to the DRC. Typical accommodations for pregnant students include attendance flexibility, cart service and special exam administration.

UA celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall
National Hispanic Heritage Month kicked off on Sept. 15, and people all across the country will spend the next month honoring the history, culture and individual contributions to the community of people who are descendants of, or themselves, from Spanishspeaking countries. At the UA, the celebration began on Sept. 14 with a fiesta hosted by the UA Health Sciences Hispanic Center of Excellence. The celebration continues throughout the month with numerous other events including an event at the football game against USC on Oct. 15, outreach programs for students and scholars and presentations and performances by local Hispanic community members. Anna O’Leary, head of the Department of Mexican American Studies, said this month of celebration gained momentum over the last few
years and is especially popular in the Southwest, given the history of the region. She said she hopes this year’s month of celebrating Hispanic culture will bring awareness. “I think that as the demographics change, you have a greater awareness of the contributions of Latinos and Mexican-Americans to this country, so it becomes a time for more people to come together,” O’Leary said. “I think ... we’re better using that framework for celebrating something and it contributes to who we are as a nation, as workers, employers, teachers, professors and members of the community.” O’Leary added that in the current political environment, it’s more important than ever to celebrate diversity and become more tolerant. The UA’s Adalberto & Ana Guerrero Student Center, a campus Latino culture and resource center, is hosting a number of programs throughout the month that are open and

free to any student. Andra Soria, a UA graduate and now program coordinator at the center, said it’s important for students to recognize the Hispanic culture, especially since it’s the biggest minority on campus. “I just think a lot of times our culture isn’t the focus or it’s not a priority in a lot of spaces,” Soria said. “It’s important for us to be free and express our culture and to celebrate it, to be proud of it and at the same time raise awareness about what it is and who we are beyond just faces that you see on campus.” Soria said it’s really important for people to inform others of what they hold near and dear to their hearts. Hispanic and Latino students can utilize this month of celebration to feel connected to their roots.

Minors answer to UAPD, then parents BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall
The UA, for the most part, is populated with students over the age of 18. But for the small number of minors who make their way onto campus before their 18th birthday, their interactions with the University of Arizona Police Department go down slightly different than their of-age counterparts. Minors at the UA are mostly treated like any other student, with just a few exceptions. For example, UAPD has to notify the student’s parents when an incident occurs, according to Rene Hernandez, UAPD crime prevention officer. Students who are minors can be diverted to the Dean of Students Office just like any other student, but other kinds of arrests can result in that minor being taken to a juvenile detention center for a court date instead of the adult court. “We’re going to take into account how old they are, how far away they are from turning 18 and if they’re a few months away versus they just turned 17,” Hernandez said. “Those are circumstances that would help us come to the determination of how we’re going to treat them—if they’re going to be a diversion or in custody or if they’re under arrest.” The Dean of Students website classifies misdemeanor violations as eligible for
diversion, including minor in possession of alcohol, possession of drugs or paraphernalia, possession of false identification, disorderly conduct, theft and littering. However, the website states not all misdemeanors are eligible for diversion. Minor students are also subject to being caught committing status offenses, which is an offense that is legal for someone over 18 but illegal for a minor. Hernandez cited smoking cigarettes as an example. “We tell people that are 17, you know, you’re here in college, you’re going to be an adult soon—just use common sense,” Hernandez said. “Make the best decisions possible for yourself so you’re not in a position where we have to intervene and make a decision for you.” Jackie Arnold, a communication junior, doesn’t agree with UAPD’s policies that UA’s minors are treated like other students. “Minors should not be held to the same standard as adults because they’re still children as of the law, and it’s not reasonable to hold them to the same standards as other college students,” Arnold said. According to Hernandez, it’s pretty rare for minors to be arrested, since the majority of UA students are at least 18. He said that the primary reason minors come in is for minor in possession charges, which usually results in diversion. Serious crimes like assault are the ones that generally could land a minor in jail.

A UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA Police Department club car parked on campus on Sept. 6. When a minor is involved in an incident on campus, UAPD has to call their parents.
In some cases, when the parents can’t be reached because it’s the middle of the night, those minor students who came in for a misdemeanor have to be transported to a juvenile detention center until UAPD can get a hold of the parents to tell them what is happening. Hernandez said that usually the minor has friends who are of age who will take care of the
student and make sure he or she is OK before that happens. “We try not to take them to jail because it’s a bummer,” Hernandez said. “It’s a big thing to do—it’s tedious and time consuming. We don’t want to do that. We want to make sure they understand that what they did was wrong and get them back to school and on to studying.”

POLICE BEAT BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1
Looking to join the team University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a call concerning a man who had been bothering the UA basketball staff continually throughout the day on Sept. 15. Officers saw the man, a UA student, exercising in a grass area near McKale Center and identified him as a UA student. The UA had received calls from the UA basketball staff about the man because he had been asking to be on the team. The staff told the man repeatedly there are no open spots on the team and asked him to stop asking them, but the man persisted. When the officers confronted the man, he said he did not mean to harass the staff or disturb anyone. He said he had grown up in Tucson and had dreamed of playing for the UA basketball team, adding that he was also friends with many of the players on the team. The officer told the man he should not be in buildings that he doesn’t have a reason to be in. The man said that he wouldn’t return to speak to the staff there. The officer said the man should find another spot to exercise that is not so close to McKale Center. An FYI was completed for the Dean of Students. Problems at the Poetry Center UAPD officers placed a man under arrest for third-degree trespassing on Sept. 16. Officers responded to a call about a man who may have been intoxicated seen walking in the intersection of Helen Street and Cherry Avenue and asking people for a knife. Instead of finding the man in the intersection, Officers instead found him stumbling through a party at the UA Poetry Center, disturbing the party’s attendees. The man told officers he had just left the hospital and was not aware that he was on UA property. The officers noted he had to have walked past a UA sign when entering the poetry center courtyard. The man was found to have an active exclusionary order with the UA. The officers then arrested the man, removed him from UA property and took him to Pima County Jail.

PREGNANCY FROM PAGE 2
Accommodations for attendance and exam flexibility vary from course to course, according to Muller. She said accomidations are dependent on the amount of interaction taking place in class, how much learning is based on inclass participation and how any absence compromises the education of the pregnant student’s classmates. “These accommodations are really helpful,” said Piper Pack-Smith, a UA graduate student and mother of two. The DRC’s website noted that complications can be worked out between the student and their instructor in hopes of making accommodations for pregnant students more accessible than ever before. Other accommodations for pregnant employees include specific classroom requests, flexible work arrangements and options for a leave of absence. Cart service and classroom requests are accommodations designed to make it easier for pregnant employees to travel around campus, recognizing the physical difficulties that occur during pregnancy. “I remember walking to the psychology building back and forth when I was eight or nine months pregnant in 100-degree weather,” said Brenae Bailey, a math professor and mother of two. “It would have been nice to have had these options.” Bailey said these accommodations are especially important considering that pregnant women are more sensitive to heat. Work arrangements and leaves of absence allow pregnant employees to manage their time during and after pregnancy. Being able to create a reasonable schedule and taking extra leave is an accommodation which acknowledges that flexibility is important for expecting mothers or women who have recently given birth, according to Muller. Bailey added that, even though the extra leave is nice, it should be paid leave since expecting mothers need all the support they can get. Pack-Smith said graduate students in particular need a lot of support because they are older than the majority of the student population, which means they are more likely to be starting or have already have families. “This sounds phenomenal and this is incredible for the women at the UA,” said Zachary Brooks, Graduate and Professional

Student Council president. He said the pregnancy accommodations offered by the UA support the GPSC mission to foster beneficial programs for graduate students. The DRC isn’t implimenting new policies just for expecting mothers, their also assisting new mothers by providing lactation spaces around campus. Lactation spaces encourage the well being of mother and child and work to eliminate the stigma surrounding breastfeeding. “When I was pregnant there were no accommodations whatsoever,” said Faith Bridges, a math professor. “There was no breastfeeding or anything, so this whole thing sounds like a dream.” Pack-Smith said accommodations for new mothers are just as, if not more, important than they are for pregnant women. “I think they can go further, but I think this is a huge step in the right direction,” Bailey said.

Changing tech hasn’t changed gaming stereotypes BY ALICIA GALPIN @DailyWildcat
Video game culture is just short of a disaster and its problems seem to come from gamers themselves. Video games are a fun platform for all styles of person, whether you’re into the more laid-back, casual genre or something a little more action oriented. They’re designed to appeal to a large group of people and they’re an extremely popular form of entertainment for some. I can’t help but notice that it seems no matter the changes in story, technology or generations playing video games, the stereotypes of gamers haven’t changed—both because they are stereotypes and because a good portion of gamers have refused to change. The typical gamer stereotype is of an acnecovered, overweight male living in their parent’s basement, feasting on Doritos and Mountain Dew. On the other hand, the image of a female gamer is tainted by the stereotype of the girl who can’t actually play games and is just in the community for attention. These things, combined with the toxicity that online gaming can bring, make gaming a less and less welcoming platform, despite the incredible versatility and storytelling that’s starting to become a demand of AAA companies. Gaming as a whole has come a long way from Pong, basic point-and-click adventures, ‘90s platformers and the hundreds of other early games. We’ve moved on to better graphics and an increase in characters’ representation of
diverse backgrounds. So why can’t the stereotypes die? The answer points, in most part, to the games being produced. Video games developed by large companies are usually marketed toward males. They feature amazing open worlds with equally as impressive weapons. Games marketed more
toward females usually involve cooking, gardening or some iteration of a licensed Disney Channel franchise. My personal favorite of these female-oriented games is Super Princess Peach, where the player uses the pink princess’ emotional state as a game mechanic.

Make her cry to grow plant platforms, and happy to make her jump and fly. You can even make her angry and cause her combust into flames. Initially, I wondered who at Nintendo thought a game like this was a good idea. The plot of Princess Peach having to save Mario and Luigi was a great idea when it was displayed
SAM RODRIGUEZ/THE DAILY WILDCAT
in the opening cutscenes, but having the princess fight with her emotions and a sentient parasol only emphasized that the princess really had no business in saving her kingdom. I realized that no one had taken the time to make Princess Peach a strong female lead because these stereotypes have made serious female gamers about as rare as Nintendo’s gold World Championship cartridge. In the online gaming community, it can be very intimidating for a player to use their microphone while playing online, but it can be even more intimidating when they’re attacked for being a woman or if it’s discovered that they are part of, or support, the LGBTQ community. It’s something that many have fallen victim to—whether it’s being called homophobic slurs for winning or losing in the game or being sexually harassed and treated like a prize. Though gaming has come far in terms of representation for women and minorities in gaming, gamer stereotypes don’t seem to be going anywhere any time soon, which is disheartening. I don’t want to be associated with a community that has the reputation for laughing and calling others vulgar things when the game isn’t being played the way they demand. I don’t want the shame of being associated with gender-targeted games that stereotype to the point that they offend. For now, we can only hope that representation continues to increase in a positive way and the slow evolution of gaming and representation will rub off on the online community. Let’s hope there will be big changes in gaming culture.

On Faculty Senate’s vote to ban e-cigarettes FOR
AGAINST BY MEGHA RAGHUNATHAN @DailyWildcat
Humans are social animals, and the constant need for appreciation and approval that arises from this maxim defines most of our habits as either socially acceptable or unacceptable. One of these habits that has been shunned away into the the space of unacceptability is smoking. I’ll remind you that this is the same society where smoking cigars while sipping blended scotch near a fireplace is considered classy. Right outside that room, though, you may find a few people, unable to feel their fingers anymore in the biting cold, but they are still enjoying the company of their extra-long Winstons. The difference? These people are branded with the social unacceptability clauses of being “unhealthy” and having “a filthy habit.” I understand the basis of the accusations hurled at smokers—addiction, cancer, lung diseases, the stench of tobacco permeating public spaces. But believe it or not, some of them do want to quit, or at least reduce their intake. Smoking isn’t called a “habit” without reason—it’s a regular addiction that is incredibly hard to give up. At first there were nicotine patches, but recent studies by the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Massachusetts concluded that light and heavy smokers relapsed with and without the use of nicotine patches. In other words, they don’t seem to help people as much in the long term. Nicotine patches also instantly take away the feeling of holding and smoking a cigarette. This is bound to create a psychological impact on the smoker and make him/her more aware of the fact that they actually are not smoking. Now we have a new technology at our disposal—electronic cigarettes. These don’t contain any tobacco, tar or the great majority of the toxins that are related to smoking tobacco. Once you do away with the tobacco, the next thing that you can automatically be rid of is the smell. The smell of cigarettes is one of
the things that bothers people when someone smokes around them, and it is also one of the major reasons why people aren’t allowed to smoke in public spaces. With e-cigarettes, one can pick the fragrance of their choice—ranging from strawberry to vanilla, and anything in between—but it’s all right if you aren’t fond of these fragrances either, since they don’t stick around for very long. The long trail of ash and cigarette butts left behind after a smoker must be added to the list of reasons why traditional smokers are looked down upon for lighting up in public. Second-hand smoke is also socially unacceptable, as it is known to harm other people’s lungs. Conversely, the mist that arises out of e-cigarettes is mostly water-based, which isn’t harmful and only lingers for a few seconds. The technology of e-cigarettes has been able to answer all of these issues. They don’t produce any of the ash, unpleasant smells or secondhand smoke traditional cigarettes do. E-cigarettes also allow one to monitor their level of nicotine intake, thus making quitting easier through a gradual nicotine reduction without taking away the actual hand-to-mouth feel of a cigarette. For those of you who aren’t planning to quit, e-cigarettes are still a valid option since you can buy e-liquids of nicotine strength matching that of normal cigarettes. Though the initial investment is high, in the long run, e-cigarettes go easier on your wallets. For those of you looking to delay the shift from cigarettes to e-cigarettes because you think you will miss the style of your favorite brands, I think it’s time you were informed that e-cigs come in various styles and colors for you to choose from. At the end of the day, it’s all about personal choice. Smoking isn’t the worst thing a person can do. Don’t let society decide what’s good for you and what’s not. By that, I also mean don’t succumb to peer pressure and start smoking because it’s considered cool. We all have our own moral compasses and sometimes what you call North may be South for someone else.
BY CLAUDIA DRACE @ClaudiaDrace
The UA Faculty Senate banned the use of electronic cigarettes on campus due to their unknown side effects that could potentially affect the user and people surrounding them. The use of e-cigarettes has been on the rise over the past decade. This fad began as a healthy alternative to smoking cigarettes, as the user inhales vapor rather than tobacco smoke. Based on recent research and data, though, vaping could be more harmful than people originally thought. This year, the FDA began researching the ingredients found in e-cigarettes and investigating the potential harm that they could have on one’s health. E-cigarettes are currently classified as tobacco products. The FDA views e-cigs as tobacco products because of a 2010 federal court case, where an e-cigarette manufacturer filed a case against the FDA, according to The American Lung Association’s “E-cigarettes and Lung Facts.” In this case, it was determined vaporizers are harmful and not therapeutic, which led to the conclusion that they should be classified as tobacco products. In order for the FDA to change this classification, the manufacturer has to run clinical trials to determine if vapes have a therapeutic effect—meaning, they help people quit. The American Lung Association reported that in 2013, 76.8 percent of e-cigarette users were also cigarette users. “Juice from e-cigarettes has different amounts of the addictive stimulant nicotine, from zero to about 72 milligrams per milliliter of liquid (a traditional cigarette has 10 to 15 milligrams),” according to Consumer Reports. The nicotine levels posted on vaporizer juice packages are often false, according to multiple studies conducted by the FDA. When a vape juice says it has 0 percent nicotine, it still has traceable amounts of nicotine. Nicotine is found in both e-cigs and cigarettes, making both of these products highly addictive. This also makes it easier for nicotine addicts to switch between the two products. It was found by the National Institute
on Drug Abuse that young adults who use e-cigarettes are more likely to become addicted to cigarettes and other drugs. This is because at a young age they are exposed to nicotine and become dependent on the drug. When the body becomes dependent on drugs like nicotine, it is easier to become addicted to other substances as well. One problem with vaporizers is that they are a newer trend, and the long-term effects are not known yet. Right now these products may not be causing any serious health issues, but in the long run, we could find that the ingredients used are dangerous for the user and potentially others around them. These products hit the market with the intent to replace cigarettes, but all we know right now is that vaping may cause cancer, heart disease, lung problems or other health problems just as bad as those that result from smoking cigarettes. Although the amount of carcinogens found in e-cigarettes is not as high, e-cigs still contain some dangerous substances. The FDA found that two of the leading vaporizer brands had anti-freeze chemicals in them. Other studies have found that high voltage in a vaporizer correlates to formaldehyde levels. Both of these chemicals have the potential to cause cancer or other medical problems. A big part of the reason why e-cigarettes have been banned on campus is because of the potential harm their second-hand smoke may have. It’s unknown what effects second-hand vapors have on individuals. “Two studies have found formaldehyde, benzene and tobacco-specific nitrosamines (all carcinogens) coming from those second-hand emissions,” the American Lung Association reported. “Other studies have shown that chemicals in the vapor contain formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and other potential toxins.” A study conducted by the Journal of Environmental Science found that toxins such as nickel and chromium are emitted from vapes. Both of these studies concluded that second-hand e-cigarette smoke is not as dangerous as cigarette smoke, but we do not know what harm these chemicals may have on individuals around e-cigarettes. Regardless, they still contain toxins. People have the right to vape if they choose, but it is important that they learn the facts about vaping before they do it. The UA is banning these products out of respect for the health of the student body as a whole.

Some of these girls have never danced at the college level. That’s what sets our girls apart is they have that experience and they are prepared mentally to go through these auditions [in the pros]." —Adrienne Robertson, UA Pomline coach
Heather O’Connor made her way to AT&T Stadium in Dallas on a cold and rainy day in May for her preliminary audition with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. She had graduated from the UA the night before and flew out for her once-in-a-lifetime shot to be a DCC. “This has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl,” O’Connor said. O’Connor and 15 other rookies were announced as official Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders three months later, joining the 37-member squad that is widely known as one of the best cheerleading teams in the NFL. “When our director, Kelly, announced that we would be stepping onto the field as the 2016-2017 Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, it was the biggest sense of relief and excitement that I could have imagined,” O’Connor said. “It felt like finishing a 5K and starting a marathon.” O’Connor is one of seven former UA Pomline members to be performing in the NFL and NBA this season. Each of them credits the UA Pomline as the organization that gave them the tools to succeed at the highest level. “The girls that have gone through the UA Pomline have got the skills and the exposure that pro teams are looking for,” UA Pomline Coach Adrienne Robertson said. “Dancing in the Final Four, dancing in the Elite Eight—most girls don’t have that experience. Everybody that has come from the UA has that experience. That’s what the pro teams are looking for. I push them to go for their dreams if that’s what they want to do.” Robertson has been a huge advocate of auditioning for professional teams since taking over the program in 2010. Robertson, a UA Pomline cheerleader from 2006-2010, knows what it takes to be the best of the best. “Girls from all around the world are coming to these auditions and it’s really [about] being the whole package,” Robertson said. “Some of these girls have never danced at the college level. That’s what sets our girls apart is they have that experience and they are prepared mentally to go through these auditions [in the pros].” Many of those who audition see their hopes and dreams crumble. Robertson said that 110 students tried for seven spots with the UA Pomline during the past audition period. “Honestly, the UA is the best way I could have prepared to make this team just because there are 60,000 people at UA football games, and my last game as part of the UA Pomline was actually the 2013 Sweet Sixteen,” Phoenix Suns dancer Megan said. “Performing at Staples Center and getting to travel to the Pac-12 Tournament is already on a big stage, so to transfer that over to Fox Sports and an NBA game in general was pretty seamless. I credit the UA for that.” Megan, a UA Pomline alumna from the Class of 2013, is an Arizona native and has danced for the Suns for two seasons. “Every time a big NBA player comes here, it’s really exciting,” Megan said. “Kobe [Bryant’s] last game in Phoenix was a really fun night to be a part of. Steve Nash’s Ring of Honor Ceremony—I’ve always been a Suns fan and to be able to see these people in person is pretty awesome.” O’Connor’s experience has been unique as she gets to perform with some of her closest friends—including former UA pommie and DCC Megan—while pursuing her dream. “To have someone here to share the ‘once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat’ motto with me is so cool,” O’Connor said. “[Accepting] a fulltime job offer with a company is not always the route you have to take. It’s kind of a message that you can make your path whatever you want it to be.” Robertson prides herself on teaching her team time management, as every football game turns into an 18-hour day full of dancing, marching, tailgating with fans and performing.

UA POMLINE DANCES AT a pre-game pep rally on March 28, 2015. The UA has a recent tradition of promoting their pomline to the professional ranks.
“The biggest lesson that I learned is time management, 100 percent,” San Diego Chargers cheerleader and former UA pommie Melissa Melissa said. “In order to keep up with my passion for dance at the UA, I learned I needed to get a job, go to school and pay my bills. Collegiate dance really taught me time management.” Melissa, a Tucson native who graduated from Salpointe Catholic High School, is one of three Wildcats on the Chargers Girls squad. “I started dancing when I was 3 [years old],” Melissa said. “I didn’t want to stop my passion for dance and really wanted to go the professional route. My experience has been nothing but a positive one. I love the Chargers organization.” Almost every professional cheerleader balances more than one parttime job on the side. “Making sure that you are at the top of your game so that your teammates can count on you—having that as a background has really helped me manage my time now with two jobs aside from this [to make] sure that I’m always the best I can be when I come here so that my teammates can count on me,” Melissa said. While some professional auditions are more rigorous than others, the DCC showcases every moment in a television show called “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team,” which airs on CMT. “It’s so funny to watch on TV because for us, it feels like watching a home video,” O’Connor said. “It’s cool to share with family and friends what it’s been like for the last three months for us.” Every year, 18-24 individuals earn the opportunity to call themselves members of the Arizona Pomline. With close to 20 pommies in program history going onto the next level, each current member looks up to those professionals as role models. “Most of my gals live and breathe the Arizona Wildcats,” Robertson said. “They love the school spirit; they love being here. They look back to college and think it’s so great because they got to be a part of pomline and pep rallies.”

Ace of Escape combines late ‘90s PC games to create an eclectic game of ‘I Spy’ in real life BY GRETCHYN KAYLOR @notsowild_cat
Late ‘90s kids—we look back on our childhood, thankful we didn’t spend it glued to a smartphone or tablet. We had the pleasure of real books and dial-up internet and endless PC games. Don’t lie—“Freddi Fish” and “Pajama Sam” will always hold a place in your heart. Another pastime that came out of this century was “I Spy,” a game based on the Scholastic books that circulated throughout the ‘90s. They were like “Where’s Waldo?” but based on the premise of finding obscure objects hidden in ordinary rooms. Scholastic eventually brought the concept to our computer screens with a spooky mansion game, where we had to find their way out by finding keys and putting together clues to solve the old abode’s mystery. There are plenty of other less juvenile examples of “escape the room” style pointand-click computer games, but with multiple different escape rooms opening in Tucson in the past couple of years, there is clearly a trend taking hold of this unique town reminiscent of your childhood. Stories are the essence of life and escape rooms allow you to dive into a story you could have never imagined—even if only for a short time—while having a good time and creating future stories with your friends. Critical thinking teams up with curiosity for an hour of puzzle solving and concentrating to simply get out of a room. Ace of Escape, at Broadway and Tucson Boulevards, is set up in an office space with three separate escape rooms, all with different stories, varying difficulty levels and suggested group sizes. Sam Torres, an Ace of Escape employee, welcomes groups in and goes over ground rules, which are slightly different for each room. The first group to arrive was booked for “Beat the Clock,” a room with a 70-percent completion rate. Upon entering, your initial task is to turn the lights on. After lifting the veil of darkness, the group has the rest of an hour to save a family watch from a repo man. “’Beat the clock’ is more of an analytical room,” said co-founder Kathy Gehlert. “‘International Thief’ is definitely more logical and involves multiple things needing to be investigated at once.” The “International Thief” room experience begins by putting escapees in the office of an engineer and thief. The aforementioned thief left clues for his lover, money and a plane ticket for his lover to find—once she finds the key out of the room, that is.
HEATHER NEWBERRY/THE DAILY WILDCAT
MARYROSE GUTSCHOW, KELSEY GUTSCHOW, David Gutschow and Sarah Spiotti work together at Ace of Escape on Friday, Sept. 16 to find clues and crack the case at hand. Ace of Escape is an escape room experience here in Tucson that allows groups to work together and have fun solving a real life puzzle under a time limit.
This room has a 60-percent completion rate and is recommended for two to eight participants. Ace of Escape also offers an altered version for younger players, and do not be afraid to ask for this—the room is complex. The experience was unique and involved a lot of hectic searching of drawers, emptying of shelves, searching of seat cushions and emptying of nesting dolls. As a smaller group, we were allotted a couple extra clues, which were communicated over an intercom from Torres outside of the room, who could also see us the entire time. “My favorite thing about this room is that the pictures are actually of Kathy’s mom and dad,” Torres said. “Even the Polaroid slides are from his different travels.” We don’t want to give any spoilers, but this room also involved tricks with the lights that for which our group needed to find a clue. It also involved some math and wordplay. This variety of puzzles demonstrated the
need to work with a group of people offering differing strengths. Even though we did not manage to complete the room, the feeling of unlocking each drawer was a success worth celebrating. Gehlert and Torres entered our room when time was up, congratulated us and laughed, saying they had never seen anyone use one of the props in the way we did. They appreciated our imagination, as they do with every one who comes through their rooms. After getting supposedly two-thirds of the way through this room before our time was up, we were allowed to peek in at the third room titled “The Illusionist,” which features a blacklight, creating a magical atmosphere. It requires at least five people to attempt this tworoom escape effort. Gehlert co-founded Ace of Escape with friend and puzzle master Allison Vivas. Their escape room has not been active for a year, but they plan on relocating sometime in the next
few months. Their escape rooms have steady bookings and it is easy to understand why challengers would keep returning and bring their friends. “We have teams of professional escape teams visit us,” Gehlert said. “They travel from city to city, country or even world-wide, completing these rooms without hints and often with 10 or more minutes to spare.” Though you are not likely to pick up and travel the globe—or solve fabricated mysteries, at that—you can learn a lot in these games. They require teamwork and succint communication to be successful. It is an unconventional, yet unquestionably effective way to quickly learn the strengths of your friends, family or co-workers. Ace of Escape supports exploring other Tucson escape rooms such as Fox in a Box on University Boulevard, but has an attractive back-to-school sale for adventurers to take advantage of until the end of this month.

The Naked and Famous talks touring the world, inspirations of new album BY ALEX FURRIER @badjazzmaverick
bound to break and fall apart. That happened to us. We all felt broken as people, weathered from years of touring and the inter-personal dynamics that play out in this band. It took us a while to put things back together again, we needed a break. The past is behind us now— three years later, we are back with an album that we are proud of. I truly believe music is cathartic in times of trouble and the thing that tore us apart brought us back together again.
The world doesn’t stop spinning for anyone. Although just about everyone at one point dreams of being in a world-famous rock band, such an occupation doesn’t preclude one from the highs and lows of life. On the back of hit albums and the even more massive hit ,“ Young Blood,” a song that takes all of five seconds to recognize by its familiar buzzy-synth intro, The Naked and Famous took a break from touring when life caught up in the form break ups and tough times. Like any good band, though, The Naked and Famous channeled the experience into its newest album, Simple Forms, out Oct. 14. Before The Naked and Famous hit the road on its fall tour, the Daily Wildcat spoke with frontwoman Alisa Xayalith via email about Simple Forms, the evolution of the band over the past few years and what to expect from the tour once it kicks off in Tucson at the Rialto Theatre on Wednesday night.
What were the driving factors and inspiration behind the new album? We have invested 10 years of our lives into The Naked and Famous and making music is like a second skin. I can’t really see any of us doing anything else. The drive and determination to continue has kept this thing going. The first song that we completed that started the process for Simple Forms was the lead single “Higher.” It prompted us on what kind of album we wanted to make.
What’s been making you happy lately? My new fender guitars have been making me happy. I have some new mustang models and a paramount acoustic that I’ve just been swooning over. I’ve been taking the time to learn different folk pickings and get back into the swing of spending lots of time on my own to explore unchartered territory on the guitar. I like being busy and learning. Making progress makes me happy. Tucson is the first stop on your fall tour and what are you most excited for with this tour and show? Is there anything you go out of your way to do in most cities when touring? We’ve been playing shows in fits and starts this year. Tucson marks the official start of us being on the road. We’ll be playing songs off Simple Forms. Taking these songs out of our small rehearsal room and onto a stage is exciting for us. A lot of us find the time to wonder around new cities, often searching for the best coffee.
What do you hope people will take away from this album? When people listen to our music, I don’t want them to think of the band [and] people that created the music. I want them to think of themselves and how they can relate to it. I want people to connect to the honesty and to the soundscape we have created and apply that to themselves.

THE NAKED AND FAMOUS’ Alisa Xayalith (top) and Thom Powers (bottom) perform during the band’s world tour in October 2013.
Where does the name ‘Simple Forms’ come from? “Simple Forms” is a lyric lifted of a song from the album called Falling. The lyric is “we’re made in simple forms”—it’s a point of contradiction. Because life and people aren’t simple at all. Each individual lives in their own
complicated microcosm and I think that is beautiful. At one point during the Consequence of Sound interview, you said, “It’s been two years since we came off the road and a lot of life has happened in and all around us.”
Care to elaborate on this time period with the band? As time goes on, people change and grow up. Relationships can get fractured and for us, a lot of tension built up over the years. Living in the confines of a small tour bus and working as hard as we did for years, something was
What aspect of Simple Forms is most different from Passive Me, Aggressive You and In Rolling Waves? I think what we have achieved is taking the pop elements of The Naked and Famous [that] people fell in love with and applied it all over the place on Simple Forms. It’s the most immediate collection of songs we have created. What can people expect from the tour? We are investing all our time into making a great show. For now, we’re ready to play people new songs and to get back on the road—it’s been a while.

ARIZONA LINEBACKER DEANDRE’ MILLER dives to tackle Hawaii quarterback Dru Brown (19) at Arizona Stadium on Sept. 17. The Wildcats will need to play solid Saturday for a shot to knock off No. 9 Washington.
Improved secondary has long way to go BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro
A
rizona football’s defense has played much better than last year, and one reason for improvement has been Arizona’s defensive backs. The Tigers were gashing Arizona’s defense in the first half of the Wildcats’ game against Grambling State. After trailing 21-3, the Wildcats’ defense
ramped up the intensity and pitched a shutout. “We made a couple of adjustments and we put more players in better positions to make plays,” cornerback Dane Cruikshank said. “So hats off to our coaches.” When Grambling State looked to be driving in the second half, cornerback Jace Whitaker recorded his first interception of the season to kill the Tigers’ momentum. “We were in man coverage,” said Whitaker on how one defensive back’s disruption helped cause a turnover by another. “I took my man out of bounds and Jarvis McCall forced a high throw.”
The defensive backs come into every game knowing what their role is and how they can disrupt an offense. “Three turnovers a game, we want to limit passing yards and we want to limit yards after the catch,” Whitaker said. “We are going to give up a catch here and there, but as long as we are on the catches, we will be all right.” The defensive backs only recorded one turnover against Hawaii. The Wildcats limited Hawaii’s success for most of the night. They held Rainbow Warrior quarterbacks Dru Brown and Ikaika Woolsey to a combined 21-of-43 for 261 yards, just one touchdown and an interception.
A good chunk of their passing yards occurred after Arizona had already opened up a 34-7 lead. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recorded the team’s only turnover this game and that was caused by a tipped pass from fellow defensive back Tristan Cooper on the play. “He is a good player and he is going to be a really, really good player,” said Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez on the heads up play by Cooper. With possible injuries to Cruikshank and Tellas Jones, Arizona is going to need the reserves to step up and make plays now. Washington is next up so they have no time to get their feet
wet or the Huskies could dominate offensively. Arizona’s offense might utilize a lot of backups like Brandon Dawkins and J.J. Taylor on Saturday, so it will be up to both sides to help each other out. Huskies quarterback Jake Browning is 53-of-74 for 744 yards with 12 touchdowns to only one interception. Washington does not seem to have a favorite receiver, so Arizona must focus on every weapon at Browning’s disposal on Saturday. Whether it is John Ross, Chico McClatcher or Darrell Daniels, Arizona has to play Washington’s receivers tough as Browning will find them.

Volleyball begins Pac-12 play with ASU, CU BY SYRENA TRACY @syreeenatraaacy
The Arizona women’s volleyball team had an 8-4 start in the non-conference matches and is set to take on the Pac-12 Conference. The Wildcats open at home against in-state rival ASU (7-5) on Wednesday in McKale Center at 7 p.m. ASU has an overall hitting percentage of .583 compared to the UA’s .667. The Sun Devils lost their last non-conference match at the Boise State Classic against Boise State. New Head Coach Stevie Mussie took over the program after serving two seasons for the Penn State women’s volleyball program and helped win a national title with the Nittany Lions in 2014. Mussie noticed in the pre-season matches that her team needed proper preparation and execution from their side of the net. This gives an advantage to the Wildcats, who have outside hitter Kendra Dahlke leading the team with 168 kills so far this season. The Wildcats need to be prepared on defense as ASU middle blocker Okaro has 23 service aces. She also had a season high of six aces in a match against Santa Clara at the Boise State Classic. However, the neutralizer could be libero Laura Larson, a defensive specialist with 148 digs so far this season. The Wildcats will look to use home-court

advantage to continue their five-game win streak against ASU on Wednesday night. The Wildcats will then head to Boulder,
Colorado on Sunday to face the Colorado Buffaloes. The match is set for noon and will air on Pac-12 Networks.
Led by their first-year Head Coach Jesse Mahoney, Colorado has gone 8-2 in nonconference play, ranking them No. 16 nationally. The Buffs ended their season in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament last year. Now, CU has an undefeated record at home and has upset Illinois and Penn State—two ranked teams. The Buffs also beat their rivals, Colorado State, for the first time in 14 years last weekend. Colorado is a well-rounded team with much of that success due to senior libero Cierra Simpson. She finished with 505 digs last season, the second most in school history, and ranked seventh in the Pac-12 by averaging 4.07 digs per set. If Arizona can get their hands up early, it’ll be possible for the Wildcats to shut down Colorado’s offense. However, the Buffs wouldn’t be ranked No.16 without some offensive proficiency. Junior right side hitter Gabby Simpson and sophomore outside hitter Alexa Smith ARE successfully running the offense for the Buffs. As a ranked team with a dominant winning streak, CU will be a difficult matchup for the Wildcats on Sunday. Both teams have played at a high level in their nonconference schedules, but Arizona hasn’t been as victorious as Colorado. This will be Arizona’s fourth chance to prove they can beat a ranked team and play at a top 25 level.
Size of defensive line is becoming a liability BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports
T
here’s no question that the size of Arizona’s defensive linemen is a concern moving forward, and for a team that is gradually improving on defense, the men in the trenches are only getting smaller—nay worse. Arizona football Head Coach Rich Rodriguez can’t help how the defensive line looks now—he has to use the deck of cards that were dealt to him over the years of recruiting. The Wildcats were so accustomed to the 3-3-5 defense that the main emphasis was always recruiting players that can defend the pass. Rodriguez should focus on defensive backs and linebackers, because in a pass-happy Pac-12 Conference, players equipped with athleticism and speed to defend the pass are more likely to put their teams in a better position to win. When the defense took a huge step backward last season, Rodriguez cut ties with his long-time friend and defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel to beef up the defense by hiring Marcel Yates from Boise State. He knew that his defense was unlike the potato-fed defensive linemen in Idaho, so he added stunts and early ball movement to keep the offensive line on their toes, regardless of their size. “I think they’ve been great,” Arizona linebacker
Michael Barton said. “...All those guys [on defense] have been doing a really good job of moving so that we’re able to run free and fill the lanes.” According to linebacker Jake Matthews, one of the best traits about the defensive linemen is their ability to communicate with the linebackers so the defense is flowing at a steady rate. “They listen to us too when we tell them which way to go,” Matthews said. “It helps us to determine their gap and make fits off ‘em.” Nothing seems to add up, because the Wildcats are tied for 70th place in the country in sacks with seven on the season and tied with Charlotte for 63rd place in rushing defense. To Barton and Matthews’ credit, they can’t bad mouth their own teammates in a press conference and say, “Oh, the defensive line is terrible because they’re so small and struggle getting off blocks.” Going up against teams with smaller defensive linemen can be easier because the weight and the differential between strength at a low leverage point knocks linebackers off their tracks, so it’s difficult to make plays. The biggest issue with Arizona’s defensive line is that they’re not flying at linebacker speed even though they’re built similar to them. The average weight of the starting defensive linemen for Arizona is 255 pounds while players like Barton weigh 237 pounds and Cody Ippolito weighs in at 248 pounds. As you can see, there isn’t an immense drop off. With the defensive linemen gradually becoming smaller, maybe Rodriguez should reconsider opening that lone-star state pipeline to append
more girth up front, Mike Stoops style. “Everything is bigger in Texas. That’s what they say,” according to Rodriguez. In Stoop’s best season in Tucson, 2009, the Wildcats were No. 20 in college football and third in the Pac-12 in total sacks with 34 on the season. Houston native Earl Mitchell and DeSoto, Texas native Donald Horton—who combined for 9.5 sacks—led the way for the Arizona defense. Both of them were defensive tackles, too, so at least one of them is getting double-teamed if there isn’t a blitz. Neither of them was tall, as Mitchell was 6-foot-2 while Horton was just 6-foot, but both of them weighed 285.5 pounds. Rodriguez said it’s not about the state, it’s about fitting into the scheme. Perhaps this is the reason why the defensive line has amassed three sacks total so far this young season. “We’ll recruit them from anywhere if they’re the right fit for Arizona,” Rodriguez said. In recent years, Rodriguez has sprinkled in Texas athletes, but none on the defensive line are from the lone-star state. “We’ve kind of branched out a little bit,” Rodriguez said. “Our main areas are obviously still Arizona, Southern California and some of the auxiliary areas there, but I only got nine assistant coaches so we can’t cover the areas as thick as we love them.” The defense will always have the tag “versatile” and can adapt to any offense, but if the quarterback is sitting in the pocket for more than three seconds or the running back picks up an easy three-yards, then there’s an issue up front that must be fixed.

ARIZONA DEFENSIVE LINEMAN SANI Fuimaono tackles a BYU receiver on Sept. 3 at the Cactus Kickoff Classic in the University of Phoenix Stadium.
And since Arizona cut off the pipeline to Texas, maybe Rodriguez can focus solely on defensive linemen with size in the lone star state. After all, everything IS bigger in Texas.

College football recap: Week 3
Do I need to take dietary supplements? It’s possible to meet your nutrient needs by eating a variety of healthy foods, but, as a busy college student, we know that’s not easy. If you’re wondering if a supplement is right for you, answer these questions to find out if you’re covering the basics.
Am I eating enough fruits and vegetables? What’s considered enough? For adults ages 19 to 30, it’s 2 cups of fruit and about 2 1/2 cups of vegetables per day. If you aren’t meeting these recommendations, one multivitamin/mineral supplement per day can help close the gap.
Am I eating at least 3 servings of dairy daily? A single serving of dairy is equal to 1 cup of milk, yogurt, or soymilk, 1 1/2 ounces of natural cheese or 2 ounces of processed cheese. Not close to meeting these recommendations? Consider taking two 500 milligram calcium supplements daily, at least 4 hours apart.
Do I eat 2 servings of fatty fish each week? Salmon, tuna, trout, sardines, and herring are all examples of fatty fish
that have omega-3 fatty acids, which our bodies can’t produce on their own. Omega-3s have powerful anti-inflammatory properties and are excellent for brain health. If you aren’t hitting 2 servings (about 7 ounces total) a week, consider a fish oil supplement. Read the label for the amount of omega-3s (EPA and DHA) per serving. A 500 milligram omega-3 supplement per day is the equivalent to 2 servings of fish per week.
Am I feeling unusually stressed, tired, sad, or cranky? These symptoms could be caused by a number of things, but one unexpected contributor could be vitamin D deficiency. While research is on-going as to the specific impact on mood, we know that vitamin D receptors have been located in bone, skeletal muscle, immune cells, and other tissues including the brain, prostate, breast, and colon for a potentially broad health impact. We get vitamin D from sun exposure and from some, but few, foods. The only way to tell whether you’re deficient is by a blood test, so make an appointment with your doctor before taking a vitamin D supplement.

This week in college football was an opportunity for three teams to make a case for their place in the College Football Playoff, in addition to players making their presence known. Some took advantage, some did not, in this weekly installment of the top three. Big Ten delight The Big Ten made a strong statement to everyone else in college football that the conference is elite. Ohio State traveled to Norman to face Oklahoma in a quasi-playoff eliminator and smacked the Sooners in the mouth 4524, despite Ohio State being the team that returned only seven starters from a year ago. Michigan State also claimed a major victory against Notre Dame that will likely eliminate the Irish from the playoff this year. Topping off the conference’s weekend of success was Michigan’s comeback win over Colorado 45-28. Junior quarterback Wilton Speight threw for 229 yards and

also recorded a passing touchdown. Speight showed great resilience for an inexperienced player whose team trailed almost immediately. The Big Ten has three teams ranked in the top eight in the nation with a fourth team, Wisconsin, sitting just outside the top 10. With many claiming the Big Ten was in a down year and faced the possibility of not being represented in this years playoff, it appears that these critics have been proven wrong. The conference’s top dogs have looked far more superior than that of teams in the SEC, Big 12 and Pac-12. Are you paying attention now? Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson is without question the front runner for the coveted Heisman Trophy. Facing Florida State, the second-ranked team in the nation, Jackson and his Cardinal counterparts inflicted one of the worst losses on the Seminoles in the history of the Florida State football program, beating them 63-20. Jackson had 362 total yards of

offense and five touchdowns, bringing his total yards for the season up to 1,377. Only a sophomore, Jackson recorded a total of 2,800 yards in his first collegiate season and is on pace to blow that career record out of the water by the end of this season. Even more impressive is that his outstanding play has landed the Cardinals their highest ranking ever in the AP poll at No. 3, matching their previous record high of No. 3 from 2006. With Clemson and Houston as the remaining ranked teams on their schedule, they too could be the next victims for Jackson, who is on a quest to become the school’s first ever Heisman Trophy winner. It wasn’t pretty at all Though Alabama avoided losing for a third straight year to Mississippi, the game revealed many of the cracks in its amour. Rebels quarterback Chad Kelly threw for 421 yards and had three passing touchdowns. These are numbers we are not used to seeing a quarterback put up against a defense as fundamentally sound as Alabama’s. Had Alabama’s running game not come alive in the latter parts of this game and produced 334 rushing yards and contributed to three scores, Alabama head coach Nick Saban’s team could have woken up to a new team ranked atop the polls. Moving forward, Kelly is not the only

talented quarterback that the Crimson Tide will face this season. In a three-game stretch against Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas A&M, Saban’s team could find themselves in a similar position to where they were on Saturday as each team has a proven quarterbacks that can put up big numbers. Improvements need to happen or teams with above-average quarterbacks will have a field day against Alabama. Despite remaining undefeated, this victory may have exposed a weakness so big that it could result in a eventual dethronement of the reigning champs.

Why do we vomit when we get drunk? Our bodies naturally react when exposed to a toxin. And even if you can’t recognize when you’ve consumed a toxic level of alcohol, your body can. Bowing down to the porcelain god is never any fun, especially if there is no one there to hold your hair or share that horrible accompanying stench as you un-swallow. Ewww!

Participating in drinking games and imbibing out of red cups without understanding just how many standard drinks one is actually consuming is a frequent cause of college students launching lunch.
It’s as simple as this – alcohol irritates the esophagus, stomach, and intestines any time you drink. Additionally, it causes inflammation of the stomach lining and creates extra stomach acid. Your brain, in an effort to safeguard your body, orchestrates your Technicolor yawn when triggered by signals coming from the stomach, intestines, bloodstream, inner ears, or other centers of the brain itself.
Not everyone who blows chunks has alcohol poisoning that warrants an immediate call to 911, quick medical attention, and being placed on their side. However, suspect serious alcohol poisoning if someone is unresponsive, is cold and clammy, has a pale or bluish tint to their skin, nail beds and/or lips, or has a slow breathing rate (breaths more than 8 seconds apart).
Yerping can occur when your body reaches a .15 BAC level. A 120 lb. female could get over a .15 BAC level if she had five standard drinks in a
