City bus strikers slam working conditions

BY Lex K. Banner The Daily Wildcat

Tucson has been engaged in the city’s longest-ever union bus strike over the past month.

The union is called The Teamsters, and they are currently on strike due to lack of raises in the last three years for past workers, mold contamination of the buses and recent driver assaults.

Andrew Marshall, the head of the Teamsters Local 104, has publicly released his number and has stated he is willing to talk to anyone in the public who has been affected by this strike.

Many irate bus users have taken up that offer, as Marshall said his phone has been ringing constantly during the last month of negotiations.

Kierstyn Tsosie, a senior studying public management and policy, has to commute two hours to get to school because the route she used before the strike is no longer in service.

Like many of the public transit users in Tucson, Tsosie does not have any other means of transportation. She’s had to rely on others to carpool and has even resorted to posting in public UA forums on Facebook for assistance.

“It’s affecting people across the board,” Tsosie said. “People are losing their jobs right now.”

While Tsosie’s trek to work is only 30 minutes compared to her two-hour shuttle to school, some are not as fortunate.

“These people [the teamsters] are willing to sacrifice other people’s jobs just for their own good. … It’s kind of morally wrong for them to do that,” Tsosie said.

Marshall says he and the strikers understand completely how difficult the strike is for those who rely on public transport.

Sun Tran employees on strike with Teamsters Local Union 104 walk the 4400 block of Park Avenue outside of Tucson City Council Ward 5 office on Monday, Aug. 31, 2015. This strike is the longest on record.

The Teamsters Local 104 and the Sun Tran department head, Kate Riley, have been using federal mediator Dennis Tell in the recent days of the strike.

Riley sent a letterhead to their mediator on Aug. 26 with Sun Tran’s most recent offer to the union. According to Marshall, that counteroffer has been the worst offer to date during the strike.

The Teamsters’ most recent online post stated that the most recent proposal “does nothing to even address, let alone resolve, the ongoing mold problem.”

Both parties involved are

ready and willing to meet, but they have relied solely on the mediator to talk through demands and counter offers.

There is no meeting planned between the Teamsters and Sun Tran officials as of now.

The mediated letters are available online for the public to read on the Teamsters Local 104 website, despite Riley’s request for that offer to not be made public to provide Sun Tran officials with an opportunity to work through options with the Teamsters.

Marshall argues that the mayor, the city council and the city manager all have a moral obligation to the public.

He said the people in those positions are failing their constituents and the public.

“What we’re fighting for is actually going to benefit those people [the public],” Marshall said. “We’re opposed to raising the fares; we’re opposed to reducing the routes. We’re trying to protect the very people who depend on it most, and our employees care about that.”

Gen chem courses use new book

BY ISAAC ROUNSEVILLE The Daily Wildcat

The 2015 fall semester marks the first year chemistry professors John Pollard and Vicente Talanquer will be using their complete co-authored e-textbook, “Chemical Thinking,” for general chemistry courses.

The new book is part of an effort to fundamentally change the curriculum for general chemistry classes. Pollard, who has been a faculty member in the UA chemistry department for the last 15 years, said the “Chemical Thinking” curriculum is a departure from the traditional way of teaching the subject.

“The general framework is more topical-based without any obvious connectivity between various topics,” Pollard said. “‘Chemical Thinking’ shifts away from what a chemist knows and more about how they think.”

The effort spans back to 2008 when “Chemical Thinking” was implemented as a pilot program taught by Pollard . The program’s first semester of being fully implemented for the general chemistry courses was fall of 2014, but the general research that has gone into its formation goes back even further.

Talanquer, who also teaches general chemistry courses at the UA, has done extensive research into the effective education of science.

“For the past 20 years, we have accumulated data that shows that the traditional curriculum is not helping the majority of students to understand the concepts we’d like,” Talanquer said.

Talanquer said this research was crucial in creating a curriculum that supported more active and collaborative learning between students. Rather than presenting students with topics to memorize in a lecture setting, he and Pollard have worked toward a more engaging and hands-on approach.

“We use guiding questions that we try to answer through thinking like a chemist,” Pollard said.

“Instead of traditional lectures, we ask students to engage realtime in class to apply these ideas while they’re building their knowledge.”

Jenna Tashiro, a psychology senior, was a student and preceptor for Pollard’s “Chemical Thinking” classes.

She is currently his research assistant working on the curriculum, and helps to provide information on student performance and engagement.

“The curriculum [is] generally more active,” Tashiro said. “It takes the concepts that you just learned and asks you to practice them with other students, the professor and TAs” Along with more applied learning, Tashiro also said “Chemical Thinking” pushes

students to confront deeper questions about their education.

A major part of the course is students learning the underlying reasons for why things such as group activities are still important, even in an age of more online classes.

While it can be a sudden adjustment from traditional chemistry courses in high school, Tashiro said that “Chemical Thinking” was crucial in preparing her for upper tier chemistry classes with more

applied learning, like organic chemistry.

“I think all subjects could benefit from a more active learning style,” Tashiro said.

Pollard and Talanquer are continuing to move their approach forward to other potential courses.

“By 2017, the changes we made to the curriculum will be up for review by the general chemistry faculty,” Talanquer said, which is when more data will be available to evaluate the effectiveness of

“Chemical Thinking.”

In the meantime, Pollard said they are focusing on making a course specifically for honors students with the new curriculum.

A Banner year for new CEO Banner—University Medical Center CEO Tom Dickson is back at the UA continuing his career in healthcare administration with years of experience

BY Samuel Gross The Daily Wildcat

Tom Dickson is a Wildcat come home.

The new CEO of Banner— University Medical Center Tucson and South campuses graduated in the class of 1977 from the UA with a bachelor’s degree in rehabilitation and a desire to help people.

Nearly 38 years later, Dickson’s career came full circle, as he is now back at the UA and at the helm of its hospital.

“I love Tucson,” Dickson said while describing his excitement to be back.

Dickson is no stranger to Tucson. His family came here from Michigan in his childhood but had to leave a year later due to a strike at his father’s job. He then returned in the ’70s to earn his bachelor’s degree at the UA, only to leave once again to pursue a master’s in health administration at Arizona State University.

January marks the third move south for Dickson, and he does not hesitate to credit his love of the town and the university for his decision to take the job.

“Tucson’s a really cool town,” Dickson said. “I like the feel of this town. I like how the university plays such a dominant role in this community.”

After graduating from the UA, Dickson did not have the intention of beginning a career in hospital administration. He focused on beginning a career in physical therapy instead.

“When I graduated, I got concerned that maybe [physical therapy] wasn’t the right field for me. I went through a little doubt about whether this was the right field and didn’t really know what to do next,” Dickson said.

His push toward health care administration came in the form of a mentorship from then-UA Medical Center Administrator Dr. Ted Mack.

“He kind of took me under his wing and talked to me about the field of hospital administration, which was really the first time I had ever even thought about hospital administration,” said Dickson.

His discussions with Dr. Mack touched upon a common motif throughout Dickson’s career: his

New Banner—University Medical Center Tucson and South campuses CEO Tom Dickson, left, chats with registered nurses Victoria Smith, center, and Zachariah Coverdale, right, at their station on Monday, Aug. 31, 2015. Dickson said adding the priorities of teaching and research alongside patient care has been a new experience for him as a hospital administrator.

desire to help people.

“He described it as something where you are applying business principals to the operation of a facility. But the facility, of course, is really geared around helping people—helping them get better, helping them recover. And that sounded pretty exciting to me,” Dickson said.

These conversations led Dickson to research more about the field, and with the help of Dr. Mack, he ended up getting in to the master’s program of health administration at ASU. “It was a real turning point in my career,” Dickson said.

Roughly 35 years later, Dickson is a seasoned veteran of healthcare administration. His new position at the helm of an academic medical center, though, is putting him in new territory.

“This is different. I’m—for the first time in a long time—really needing to better understand how decisions are made, what the structure is, how we’re organized,” Dickson said. “We’re in a direct partnership with the College of Medicine. That’s just not typical in most community hospitals.”

The additional complexity of running a hospital as well as an academic institution is causing Dickson to expand his knowledge as a CEO and to redefine his perception of running a hospital.

“In a typical Banner hospital, what you care about as a CEO is you care about patient care. …

And that certainly is true here.

But, in addition to patient care, it’s all about teaching; it’s all about research. That’s the big three in an academic medical center,” he said.

“For me it’s learning a new segment

of hospital administration.”

Now that Dickson is back and settled at the new Banner—UMC, he has turned his sights on the laundry list of tasks to be done since the Feb. 27 merger. Primarily, the past six months have been consumed with trying to bring the hospital up to speed on the Banner Health standards of care and practices, Dickson said.

He said his biggest focus is to implement the Banner operating model, being sure to note the success of the 23 hospitals under the Banner Health umbrella.

“We’ve over the years developed what we call standard practices, or best practices. … There’s a standard Banner model, and any organization that joins Banner has to go through a sort of an integration process,” Dickson stated.

All in all, Dickson said he is

in health administration for the people—the people he gets to help and the people he gets to work with.

He particularly sang praises for the staff of the Banner—UMC and the progressive environment that an academic institution fosters.

“You’re just surrounded by exceptional people who are all here for the same reason. They want to help people; they want to learn advanced techniques. That’s one of the keys to an academic medical center, … [it] is supposed to be the place that takes care of the sickest, the most acute and the most difficult patients,” he said, slapping his hands on the table.

POLICE BEAT

BY MEGHAN FERNANDEZ

Bathroom break Two University of Arizona Police Department officers noticed a male student who appeared as if he was about to urinate near the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center. The officers observed that the student was fixing the zipper of his pants, and after noticing the officers he stopped touching his zipper.

One officer asked the student if he needed a restroom. The student explained he was heading home and started walking away from the officers.

The officers drove through the parking lot of the Martin Luther King Jr. building to check if the student was going to urinate in an alley near the building.

After circling around, the officers spotted the student bent down behind the wall.

One of the officers approached him again and asked what he was doing. The student said “nothing.”

The officer who had questioned the student said he smelled alcohol on the student’s breath during their interaction.

The officer asked the student if he intended to relieve himself on the wall, and the student explained that he wasn’t planning to urinate. He said he was crouched behind the wall because he was nervous after seeing the UAPD car.

The student identified himself and proceeded to explain that he drank several shots of vodka in a residence hall. The student was issued a UA Student Diversion for possession of liquor in the body as a minor.

You have the right to … not drink anymore A UA student was arrested on charges of minor in possession after being hospitalized for medical evaluation.

A UAPD officer noticed Tucson Fire Department dealing with an intoxicated male student at Park Avenue Parking Garage. The description of the student was similar to that of a student whom the officer had dealt with earlier. The student had previously been jumping on the hoods of the cars in the garage.

The student, who had bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol, was not cooperating with TFD as they were evaluating him.

The student said he didn’t have any identification when officials asked him for it, but he did say that he was in the FIJI fraternity. TFD was eventually able to identify him after spotting the student’s wallet in his pocket.

TFD officials asked the student if he had been drinking, and the student said that he was “not going to drink anymore until a lawyer gets here.”

TFD transported the student to Banner— Health University Medical Center Tucson, where the UAPD officer followed up the next morning and arrested the student.

Rec center celebrates 25th anniversary

BY Selena Flores The Daily Wildcat

The Student Recreation Center was built to serve the UA community 25 years ago, back when treadmills didn’t have TV screens and when Zumba was not a popular dance fitness class.

In the 1970s, students lobbied the UA for a facility dedicated to student recreation and wellness, and the Arizona Board of Regents approved legislation for its building in 1985. The facility opened in the 1990-1991

academic year with a studentapproved $25-per-semester fee to cover the costs.

According to Campus Recreation’s website, the Rec Center receives more than a million visits per year, on top of offering numerous classes for students.

According to a Forbes article, the Rec Center has received national acclaim over the years, with many articles mentioning the university’s top rank among rec centers across the country.

The UA has been No. 1 in part

due to the building’s energy efficient design and construction.

In 2010, the building saw a significant renovation and update, leading to it becoming the first of three LEED Platinum Certified buildings on campus.

“Instead of a big event for our celebration, we have set up mini events during the 25th of every month,” said Heather Kleeman, outreach coordinator for sponsors and special events for Campus Recreation.

The celebrations kicked off last Monday with Meet Me at the

Rec, an event where students could learn about all the ways to get involved with Campus Recreation, such as intramural teams and group fitness classes.

Various colleges have added campus recreation centers over the past few decades in order to attract students.

Lynn Zwaagstra, director of Campus Recreation, said in an email interview that research has indicated that students consider campus recreation when deciding which college to attend, and that participating in

Pet adoption: the best option for students?

BY Lex K. Banner

The Daily Wildcat

While many students choose to adopt pets in college, it is also common for students to relocate their pets through the Facebook page Free and For Sale.

This trend has raised the question of whether college students should adopt pets in the first place.

Free and For Sale is one of the most popular UA student Facebook groups, where students can sell and purchase items, such as furniture, textbooks and clothes. However, people often come to the group looking to find a new home for pets they can no longer care for, which other students have found controversial.

Julia Snook, a junior studying astronomy and geology, said she finds it “extremely irresponsible and an incredibly unfair thing to do to a dog or a cat.”

Snook said she is finally ready to adopt a dog after years of planning and waiting, and she’s ready for the responsibility that comes with a pet. She plans on taking her future dog with her when she moves on to graduate school.

Oftentimes, students choose to adopt a pet from the Pima Animal Care Center, which sometimes hosts special adoption events.

Justin Gallick, live release manager at PACC, said everyone who comes in to adopt is asked a series of questions for their adoption survey, which includes the amount of time they dedicate to work and school and where they see themselves in five years, to make sure potential owners

have pet-friendly lifestyles. “[Students] can provide wonderful, loving homes,” Gallick said.

However, he said he encourages students to evaluate their lives over the next 10 to 15 years, which is the average life span of a pet. If the potential owners have trouble answering where they will be after graduation, Gallick said they should consider fostering as an option, which greatly helps out the shelter.

Aruna Sakthi, a physiology senior, said animal shelters are really appreciative of those who can foster because it takes the animals out of the overbooked environment.

Kim Bui, a recent UA graduate, said she swears by fostering.

Bui and her roommates wanted pets, but not the commitment of keeping them because they were all so close to graduation and none of them were sure what was going to happen once they all left Tucson.

Fostering was the best option for them, Bui said, because they were provided with food and a litter box, and all the medical and adoption fees were waived.

“Fostering shows [students] what it’s like to actually take care of a pet,” Bui said.

“You don’t know what’s going to happen after graduation. People give them back all the time, and that’s not fair to the older pets.”

This week in science: Hawking soars

BY MiKayla Mace The Daily Wildcat

Psychology The Center for Open Science published a paper in the journal Science on Thursday titled, “Estimating the reproducibility of psychological science.” The article sent shock waves through the scientific community.

The team expected to find that they could reproduce about 50 percent of the studies. Instead, they succeeded in producing significant results in only 39 out of 100 experimental replications.

While some see this as a blow, others maintain that retesting in order to verify the results of an experiment is a vital, and normal, part of the scientific process.

The COS explained that researchers are under pressure to publish. Consequently, this pressure can lead to biased results.

Some scientists might knowingly skew their data in order to procure significant results and land their paper a spot in some elite journal.

On the other hand, different scientists might subconsciously find significance in their data that they want to see but isn’t really there.

The research was based exclusively on the field of psychology. However, these phenomena are found across all scientific domains.

Some argue that the difference in the amount of reproducibility between physical and social sciences was not highlighted enough following the release of subsequent articles. Many psychologists, on the

other hand, were pleased to see their field partake in the most scientific of endeavors.

Physics Stephen Hawking, worldrenowned physicist famous for his research on black holes, may have just resolved the information paradox.

According to the old understanding of black holes, all information that went into a black hole was lost, unable to overcome the immense gravity that trapped it.

However, Hawking determined in the 1970s that black holes radiate small amounts of light, dubbed “Hawking Radiation,” back out.

For quantum mechanics, this means that given enough time, a black hole could evaporate out, leaving no trace of the matter that it once comprised.

According to quantum mechanics, this can’t happen. There should always be some kind of trace of the information “lost” to a black hole.

Physicists sought to find the answer in Hawking Radiation itself, but so far, there seems to be no way the light radiated out can carry the lost information.

Hawking argues that this information can be found on the event horizon of a black hole.

Event horizons demarcate the “edge” of a black hole. Once passing this “edge,” light and matter are forever bound by gravity in the heart of a black hole.

Hawking calls his discovery “supertranslations.”

These are basically disturbances in the

Hawking Radiation escaping the black hole by the incoming matter and light.

Hawking admits that while the information is not technically lost, it will be impossible to be able to make sense of these supertranslations.

While his ideas are concerning, and the paradox is still being refined and critiqued, many physicists believe Hawking is on to something.

Energy and Technology Hawaii has just unveiled its ocean thermal energy conversion plant, referred to as OTEC, creating the first power plant in the world to harness variances in ocean temperature to make energy.

More than 30 years ago, the U.S. established the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority developed by Makai Ocean Engineering. The goal of this project was to relieve Hawaii’s need for imported fossil fuels.

The OTEC’s turbines generate power using ammonia. When liquid ammonia is heated, it easily vaporizes. The heat that drives this transformation comes directly from the warm water at the surface of the ocean. Once the ammonia has passed through the turbines, it is cooled, using cold water from the depths of the ocean, consequently returning the ammonia to its prior state, ready to be warmed and reused again.

Currently, the OTEC plant can only generate about 100 kilowatts, supplying about 120 homes for a year. While this doesn’t sound like much, the facility is playing a leading

role in the future of the islands as well as the overall research into renewable energy.

Hawaii aims to use only clean energy by the year 2045, and this is another big step in further investigating clean energy.

Space Exploration New Horizons has been assigned a new mission as it continues its trajectory past Pluto and out of the solar system.

New Horizons will continue its 3 billion-mile journey for an additional 1 billion miles, reaching its next tiny, icy target called MU69 in 2019.

MU69 resides in the Kuiper belt, a

ring of icy, rocky debris orbiting our sun just outside the orbit of Neptune.

The data collected from the outskirts of our solar system will provide clues to its formation.

Along the way, the probe will collect data from about 20 other objects in the Kuiper belt. This opportunity will allow scientists to piece together an understanding of the farthest reaches of our tiny region of the sky, as we venture farther out from the warm heart of our solar system.

Architecture students reward with design

BY Lauren Koch The Daily Wildcat

College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture students know that many Tucson organizations are more than deserving of an architectural makeover.

For four years, the UA chapter of Freedom

by Design has been serving the Tucson community and just recently renovated the reception area of Literacy Connects, an organization that promotes child and adult literacy and education.

“The ultimate goal of our Freedom by Design

chapter is to improve accessibility and the physical environment for deserving residents in Tucson,” said Queston Kwolek, a fourth-year architecture student and the current director of Freedom by Design.

“For me, architecture is a means in which I can collaborate with others to design thoughtful and meaningful spaces that contribute to the identity and beauty of a place and its people.”

Coordinating a renovation is not a simple task and requires plenty of planning.

“The [Literacy Connects] project took 8 months to complete, with two months to design, three months to fundraise and two

months to fabricate and install the project,” said Nikki Hall, a fifth-year architecture and Japanese student and past secretary of Freedom by Design.

“We have a design ‘charrette’, where we invite Freedom by Design members and local professionals to meet and brainstorm ideas.”

Members work together in small groups to come up with initial designs, then come together as a whole to come up with a final design.

“Sometimes our local professionals help critique our drawings throughout the process,” Hall said.

These projects are not done in short-term windows. The club spends an entire year making sure the final result is perfect.

“The first semester is usually spent developing a design for the client and finding funding for the project,” said Will Ruoff, a fifthyear architecture student and project manager for Freedom by Design.

“Once we have defined the budget and the project, we can begin to fabricate the project at the [CAPLA] wood and metal shop.”

The students try to make everything themselves and also fundraise to pay for the

TV ads make kids eat junk food, study says

BY Emily Hedges The Daily Wildcat

Children might be tempted to eat more unhealthy foods if their eyes are glued to the television according to a new UA study.

Communications Professor Emeritus Dale Kunkel published a study in August that tracked children’s food advertisements regulated by the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative.

The CFBAI is a self-regulatory program created with the intention of limiting unhealthy food advertisements aimed toward children. The initiative is composed of 17 of the largest U.S. food companies, including Kellogg Company, PepsiCo Inc. and ConAgra Foods Inc., according to Kunkel’s study.

The experiment tracked the proportion of healthy and unhealthy food advertisements put out by companies in the CFBAI from 2007 to 2013.

“Researchers started to look at what’s causing the problem and how can we try to correct it,” Kunkel said. “That’s when we look at the food advertising to kids.”

The proportion of unhealthy food ads put out by these companies went from 79.4 percent in 2007 to 80.5 percent in 2013, Kunkel said. Although the CFBAI pledged to only advertise healthier foods to children, the study showed that the program was not meeting this standard.

“There is virtually no change in the proportion of food ads that are for junk-food products,” Kunkel said. “What that demonstrates is the industry is not making good on their promise.”

Christine Filer, a graduate teaching associate for the UA, was also involved in the study.

“I think the more shocking thing to me isn’t an individual ad, it’s more just the volume,” Filer said, adding that self-regulation in the U.S. is not as stringent as it could be.

“You see so many ads for Chuck E. Cheese’s and McDonald’s

outreach from page 10

project. The chapter fundraises in coordination with the Arizona chapter of American Institute of Architecture Students.

“Last year was our first annual Pumpkin Carving event during the week of Halloween on the [UA] Mall,” Kwolek said.

“UA students and visitors were able to carve pumpkins for a small donation to Freedom by Design.”

Not only does the chapter give invaluable experience with designing and planning, but it also gives members the satisfaction of making a difference in the Tucson community.

“My favorite project has been [an] outdoor relaxing space at The Arizona State School for the Deaf and Blind,” Ruoff said. “The excitement on the

and these sorts of things that are not the most nutritious foods,” Filer said. “But then you don’t see ads for the really healthy food.”

Matthew Lapierre, an assistant professor of communication for the UA and a colleague of Kunkel, published a similar study in 2011 that looked at how children judged cereal based on the use of licensed cartoon characters, or spokescharacters, on the cereal boxes.

Lapierre’s study concluded that children are more likely to say cereals with spokescharacters taste better compared to cereals without spokescharacters.

“And it’s not a leap to say that maybe they’re going to be eating

more,” Lapierre said.

The study also demonstrated that cereals with more child cues­­—such as spokescharacters and colorful, bold lettering­— and more nutrition cues—such as pictures of fruit—are often of poorer nutritional quality, according to Lapierre. ­ These are the cereals that have more sugar, less fiber and less protein, Lapierre said.

The use of licensed characters in children’s advertising is correlated with an increase in sales for a given product. One example that Kunkel gave is Kraft Foods Group Inc., which recently put the character SpongeBob SquarePants on its boxes of mac and cheese, a food that is considered to have poor nutritional value.

“When they did that,” Kunkel said, “the sales jumped dramatically.”

The advertising industry is constantly changing, Kunkel said.

“Advergames” are a potential new way for food companies to market directly to children through a different medium: the Internet.

The qualifications for food advertising in the U.S. differ from those of other countries.

“In the Netherlands … the government has a bit more oversight into what advertisers can and cannot do,” Lapierre said.

Other countries, like England, have governmental restrictions on food advertising.

“England adopted a law where you cannot advertise junk foods during children’s programming hours,” Kunkel said. The food industry in the U.S., however, adopted a self-regulatory advertising program.

The CFBAI is not restricted by government standards, unlike the advertising industries in other countries.

When it comes to the advertisement industry and the health of children, Filer said, “There is definitely room for improvement.”

The chapter’s hard work does not go unnoticed. “[Literacy Connects’ new reception area] provides a sense of welcome and is a great improvement over what we had before,” said Leslie Pape, office manager for Literacy Connects.

“Everybody had a very positive reaction and thought it was very attractive and functional, and it showcases our library here.”

The club isn’t closed off to non-architecture students. The chapter can always use help with fundraising and building.

“We would be extremely happy to make this an integrated club that brings together students from different degree programs,” Ruoff said.

Bird Walk

12 • The Daily Wildcat

BY LAUREN KOCH

The Daily Wildcat

The Roy P. Drachman Agua Caliente Regional Park is a desert oasis, a 101-acre aquatic and riparian habitat.

The park lies northeast of Tucson city limits and south of the Coronado National Forest. Amy Willer, a frequent visitor, takes her dog to the park about once a week.

“I like the solitude,” she said.

“It’s just such a natural setting. … I’m a birder, so I enjoy that it attracts certain bird species that are migrating to the water area.”

Willer is in luck, as the park hosts a bird walk guided by Jeffrey Babson, a Wildlife Viewing Program Specialist for the Pima County Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation. Wake Up with the Birds is a recurring event at the park.

Babson describes the park as part-public, part-wildlife reserve and part historical.

“We have picnic tables and barbecue grills,” Babson said. “We don’t allow any hunting or fishing here, so we get a lot of wildlife. …

The history at this particular site goes back to the Hohokam era [Circa AD 1150-1250].”

There are three ponds within the park, each linked together by an artificial stream. Prior to the 1930s, there were two springs at the park: a hot spring for which the park is named, and a cold spring.

In the 1930s, the 100-foot space between the two springs was dynamited, causing less water to leave the cold spring. The hot spring is still functional, but due to drought and the drilling of wells in the surrounding area, the spring has not flowed as much in recent years.

Every Thursday, excluding major holidays, Tucsonans can join Babson on his guided birding walk.

Wake Up with the Birds is an event that makes use of the ponds and hot spring, which support the wildlife in the area.

The park itself has a variety of habitats.

“We have some pure desert habitat with cacti and things like that where we’ll get a lot of resident birds,” Babson said.

Occasionally, Herons and Egrets can be seen at the lake. Ducks are frequent, especially in the winter.

“Sometimes we get Belted Kingfishers, which are these sort of really small, little birds that dive underwater to catch fish,” Babson said. “It’s pretty cool to watch.”

As for the park, the variety of birds changes with the seasons.

“A lot of the birds you’ll see in June will be different than birds you’d see in January,” Babson said. “Some of them are here for the breeding season, but they’ll migrate south for the winter; they’ll get replaced by birds that have come from the south that will spend the winter here.”

There are over 100 different birds recorded on the Agua Caliente Park Bird List, available online at their website at pima.gov/nrpr.

“My approach is to try to get people outdoors and to enjoy the birds we see,” Babson said. “It’s not a contest to see how many birds we can see in an hour and a half.”

The start time for Wake Up with the Birds varies by month to better accommodate the summer and winter climates. The bird walks will begin at 8 a.m. every Thursday throughout September and October, starting tomorrow, Sept. 3. Birders will need to register online and pay a $5 fee.

Not a birder? Agua Caliente Regional Park is home to a variety of other wildlife, including lizards, butterflies and dragonflies. The Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Department lists the programs and events of over 40 different parks, wildlife and otherwise, on their website.

“Come on out,” Babson said. “If you need binoculars, we’ll hand them to you. We’ll show you how to use them if you don’t know how to use them. … We welcome anyone and everyone to come out.”

Iran deal ignores human element

BY Cooper Temple The Daily Wildcat

F

ear, distrust and suspicion. These emotions have defined Iran’s relationships with the U.S. and Europe and have plagued the brief attempts at reconciliation for the past several decades.

The economic sanctions and general lack of diplomatic relations, though, have not been without cause.

Iran has long been considered a state sponsor of terrorism, and the country’s continued affiliations with the Bashar alAssad regime in Syria have done nothing to improve that reputation.

The Obama administration has proposed a solution, however controversial, that could serve as the first breakthrough with Iran since the crisis of 1979.

As it was revealed that the U.S. had finally reached terms on an agreement with Iran, outcries of both support and dissent began to arise from all regions of the political arena.

Republicans have been mostly unsupportive while Democrats have generally been in favor of the deal. Within all of the rhetoric stands an attempt at peace that will greatly benefit some, but could possibly be a detriment to others.

That is to say, the deal isn’t perfect— but both parties are forced to make sacrifice in any negotiation.

The issue with the current deal isn’t

that it doesn’t do enough, but rather that it focuses too specifically on one particular issue—Iran’s capability of obtaining a nuclear weapon—leaving other concerns unaddressed.

The nuclear agreement has been effective, however. The U.S. effectively prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon by forcing the removal of most of its nuclear infrastructure and submission to regular inspections conducted by scientists and military personnel.

The most prominent argument against the deal states that, because some of Iran’s nuclear facilities will remain intact, Iran could quickly build a weapon after sanctions are lifted.

As NPR writes, though, “If it honors the deal, Iran would not have the kind of missile material it needs for a nuclear bomb, but at the same time, it does receive a nod from the international community that it can indeed keep a nonmilitary nuclear program going.”

Rather than enabling Iran, the joint agreement would only allow for enough nuclear material to sustain peaceful reactors, which are used in places like power plants.

According to the White House, “Iran has committed to extraordinary and robust monitoring, verification and inspection,” at essentially any time the International Atomic Energy Agency schedules a visit.

In short, the deal will more than likely make it much more difficult for Iran to build a nuclear bomb. And, based on numbers in the House of Representatives and Senate that frequently vote along party lines, it is likely that the agreement will soon become law.

The faultiness of the treaty lies not in what the deal does for the nuclear program, but what it doesn’t do to mitigate Iran’s influence in other spheres of the Middle East.

Iran has been one of the most notorious supporters of the regime in Syria and contributes regularly to the fight against the Syrian rebels.

The nation stands to gain over $100 billion if the sanctions are lifted, and according to The Atlantic, “Even if [Iran] … uses, say, only 3 percent of that total, it will have $3 billion more to prop up the Syrian regime and other regional allies and proxies.”

The U.S. hopes that Iran will instead choose to utilize the new funding for peaceful means, like infrastructure and the betterment of citizens’ lives, but the deal offers no provisions to keep Iran from funneling the money into foreign wars.

It’s been argued by The Atlantic that ISIS’s formation and success has largely been a result of the al-Assad regime’s brutality in the Syrian civil war.

Lifting sanctions could further destabilize the Middle East.

At the same time, however, Iran’s people are suffering. The economy is facing serious struggles and human rights would stand to improve significantly if the deal is approved, as evidenced by—as the Cairo Review of Global Affairs states—the

“

fact that “some of the most vociferous defenders of a nuclear deal with the West are Iranian civil society and human rights activists.”

The general population of Iran also greatly favors a deal with the U.S. and its allies, meaning it’s likely that the Iranian regime could choose to help the people rather than fund al-Assad’s army.

The bottom line is that Iran has consistently remained unpredictable and could choose to act in a number of ways if the likely approval of the nuclear agreement removes international sanctions.

Yet, even though the deal is not perfect, the benefits of dismantling a potential nuclear threat while also strengthening the economy of the Middle East outweigh the consequences.

It is time to move past fear, distrust, and suspicion to work cooperatively toward peace in the Middle East.

The issue with the current deal isn’t that it doesn’t do enough, but rather that it focuses too specifically on one particular issue...”

Wiz Khalifa arrest an overreaction

By Nick Havey

The Daily Wildcat

L

ast week, Wiz Khalifa, the rapper, was arrested in Los Angeles International Airport for riding a “hoverboard”.

While this is about as far as the headlines and coverage of the event get, Khalifa’s arrest is another example of the disturbing police—in this case Customs and Border Agents—brutality now ubiquitous against black bodies in this country.

Regardless of the danger of his actions at LAX—riding a small, self-contained vehicle couldn’t have been more dangerous than standing near the idiots who suck at using the moving walkway— the excessive force and sheer amount of officers that arrested Khalifa was a ridiculous display of inappropriate power.

The airport is a serious place. As someone who has accidentally left my luggage unattended, I know this.

According to the Transportation Security Administration, National Security Administration and Customs regulations in their very vague and official statement regarding Khalifa’s arrest and detainment, “all travelers arriving into the U.S. are subject to CBP inspection, and … must follow officers’ instructions while in the Federal Inspection Service area. … An uncompliant passenger or any disruptive behavior could put many at risk in this highly secure area.”

Apparently, Khalifa was “uncompliant” in riding his hoverboard.

If you’ve ever seen Wiz Khalifa, you would recognize him as a tall, skinny and overly chill dude (probably due to all the weed).

Riding that hoverboard was probably the fastest that guy has ever moved.

He is undoubtedly less of a threat than the old white people who don’t understand why they can’t have garden

“

shears in their carry-on or the greatest threat to national security: children who have gotten off their child leashes and are now terrorizing strangers in the airport.

Even if Wiz was a scary looking guy, which he is not, anyone who has watched the video of his “arrest” knows two things: he didn’t need to be arrested, and there were enough cops involved to arrest 10 Wiz Khalifas.

Thrown to the ground, handcuffed and repeatedly screamed at, his arrest is in no way parallel with the degree of his “crime” and wouldn’t have happened to a white teenager doing the same exact thing in LAX. Khalifa, who has been arrested a myriad of times for drug-related charges, is no stranger to arrest. During the incident at LAX, there is a very clear video of Khalifa calmly stating, “I am not resisting, sir,” over and over again

This excessively brutal arrest occurred because there is no recourse for law enforcement for behaving horribly towards people of color.”

as officers swarm him, beat him and demand that he “stop resisting.”

In a similar vein, it is also very simple, as a bystander, to label Khalifa as an entitled celebrity, refusing to comply with standard airport regulations and rules.

On Twitter, Khalifa tweeted (amongst a ton of other very interesting tweets which composed a sort of post-arrest tirade) this: “I stand for our generation and our generation is gonna be riding hover boards so if you don’t like it eat a dick!”

While he probably shouldn’t have been riding a motorized vehicle in an airport, the response associated feels more in line with someone who had packed a gun in their duffle—no one has ever been tackled, handcuffed and repeatedly slammed into the ground for riding a razor scooter.

This excessively brutal arrest occurred because there is no recourse for law enforcement for behaving horribly towards people of color.

Marty McFly would not have been arrested, so why was Wiz Khalifa?

We’ve made it. The start of college football is less than a sleep cycle away. By the time some of you read this, the first tailgaters will have arrived on the UA Mall, barbeque in tow.

Until then, here’s one last preseason roundup on Arizona football to satisfy your hunger for real, meaningful football.

No surprises on injury report Arizona football released its weekly injury report Tuesday, and there were no major revelations.

As expected, Tyrell Johnson, Trey Griffey, Trevor Wood and Cody Ippolito are all listed as out for Thursday. Wood and Ippolito’s injuries are season-ending, while Johnson and Griffey should be back within a few weeks.

Cornerback Jarvis McCall Jr. was listed as probable with his his injury.

First Bear Down Friday takes place today This year marks the 10th anniversary of Bear Down Friday, a pep rally that takes place the day before every home football game.

Since Arizona’s season opens on a Thursday instead of a Saturday, the first Bear Down Friday is Wednesday from 5–7 p.m. The pep rally will take place at Main Gate Square on University Boulevard, between Park and Euclid avenues.

Bear Down Friday is free and open to the public, and people are encouraged to park at Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage.

The pep rally itself begins at 6 p.m., when the Pride of Arizona marching band and Wilbur and Wilma take the stage alongside UA Cheerleading, Pom Line & Dance Team and Color Guard.

Women’s soccer head coach Tony Amato is the guest host.

Festivities get going earlier in the afternoon, starting off with the Spirit Party at 3 p.m., hosted

by ESPN Tucson’s Zach Clark.

A number of other activities will take place throughout the afternoon and evening including a ZonaZoo photo booth and a Junior Cats Activity Zone.

Also of note, the Territorial Cup will be on display.

Four-star defensive end to join Arizona in spring According to Gabe Encinas of Arizona Desert Swarm, Arizona defensive end commit Josh Allen will get a head start at UA by joining the football program this coming spring. Allen will not play for Long Beach City College this year.

The decision gives Allen three years of eligibility at Arizona and a head start to learning the Wildcats’ system.

Allen, a four-star recruit, was ranked as the nation’s No. 2 junior college defensive end according to recruiting website 247Sports.com.

ARIZONA SAFETY Nick Fadelli jumps for a catch while running a drill at practice on Sunday, Aug. 30.

Allen committed to Arizona in July over a host of top programs including ASU, Boise State University and the University of Louisville.

Pac-12 Roundup: trouble in Westwood It’s been a drama-filled offseason for UCLA football.

In June, ’90s hip-hop star Sean “Diddy” Combs got into an altercation with a UCLA assistant coach. Then in mid-August, Snoop Dogg’s son, Cordell Broadus, announced he was leaving the team to pursue other opportunities.

A few days later, Jim Mora publicly berated freshman starting quarterback Josh Rosen.

The latest event is much more serious than all those.

Junior cornerback Ishmael Adams has been suspended indefinitely following a Sunday arrest on suspicion of felony robbery. Adams posted a $100,000 bail on Tuesday.

The first-team All-Pac-12 Conference corner is accused of stealing a cell phone from an Uber driver, according to the Orange County Register.

The No. 13 Bruins, who open the season Saturday at home against Virginia, may be without Adams for much if not all of the year, depending on how the legal process plays out.

UCLA’s Pac-12 opener is at Arizona on Sept. 26.

Anu Solomon confident at QB

BY Kyle Hansen

The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona Wildcats began last season with a question at the quarterback position.

It was unclear who would be the starter until a couple of weeks before game day.

Thus began the Anu Solomon era.

Solomon had a record-breaking season as a redshirt freshman. He passed for 3,793 yards—a school record for a freshman—and threw 28 touchdowns.

Solomon will face a familiar opponent Thursday when the Wildcats open up their season against UTSA at home. Solomon finds it easier to prepare against a team they have seen in the past.

“When you’re preparing for a team that you played last year, you kind of know what they do on certain situations,” Solomon said.

“Right now, we’re studying them. We know they’re a good team.”

Arizona and UTSA went right down to the last play of the game last season. Safety Jared Tevis sealed the game with an interception.

Solomon passed for 231 yards on 17 completions and a touchdown, an 85-yard score to Cayleb Jones on the first play from scrimmage.

After that score, the game was evenly matched. Tevis’ interception stopped the Roadrunners on their final drive, ending both the game and the Wildcats’ fear of an upset. The final score was 26-23.

The game was also Solomon’s first road start for Arizona.

“The stadium was very loud,” Solomon said of what he remembered from that game.

“Confidence built up on that first play, where Cayleb took it all the way to the house. Other than that, I think I got too comfortable with everything. So I just got to pick it up and be consistent.”

Solomon, 23

This is a timely reminder for new students who want to avoid trouble or possible hall eviction. Here’s what you need to know. If you’re under 21 and found with alcohol in your residence hall, you will likely be sanctioned by a community director to complete an alcohol education class for violating Residence Hall Community Standards.

Sanctioning includes a parental notification letter and you will be placed on Deferred Eviction. If you accrue additional violations, you can be evicted from your hall (yet you still have to pay the rent contract for the remainder of the semester). If you fail to complete your sanctions by your deadline, a hold will be placed on your student account preventing you from registering or changing classes until your sanctions are completed.

If you are under 21 and cited by a UAPD officer, you will be referred to the Dean’s Office. The Dean’s Office provides a diversion program for first time student misdemeanor cases in the county court system, meaning you don’t have to go to court as the Dean’s Office will assign your sanctions. This can include a fine,

community service hours, and an alcohol education class. Also, if you are under 21, the Dean’s Office will inform your parents of your violation through the Parental Notification Law of 1999.

If you have already completed a UA Diversion program (this is a one-time deal), you will be sanctioned for a violation of the Student Code of Conduct AND will also have to go to court. Double sanctions and costs. If you fail to complete your diversion sanctions by your deadline, the Dean’s Office also places a hold on your student account.

If you’re really intoxicated and it’s determined that you need medical assistance (possible alcohol poisoning, for instance), paramedics are called to evaluate you and you could be transported to University Medical Center (where you incur additional ambulance and hospital costs).

You can view the Student Code of Conduct and other FAQ’s at the Dean of Student’s website at www.deanofstudents.arizona.edu. The Residence Life Community Living Guide, which include all Community Standards, can be found at www.life.arizona.edu (search for “policies and procedures”).

Volleyball’s Larson excelling on, off court

BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat

Volleyball season is underway for the No. 16 Wildcats, as last weekend they kicked off the 2015 season with a threegame winning streak in Dallas against SMU, Texas State and Abilene Christian.

While there might have been skepticism from volleyball head coach Dave Rubio due to an influx of new faces, returning starters such as Laura Larson , who recorded 18 digs from her new position as libero, are more than willing to take on bigger leadership roles this season.

“One of the big things for us was in our first game. We were losing to SMU and it was 23-18 at one point, and I tried to tell the team to step up and say, ‘Hey guys, we need to fight right now,’ and people did step up,” Larson said. “We made a couple of big blocks and digs, and I really think that turned the game around for us.”

Larson is quickly becoming one of the leaders of a resilient bunch that thrived in the face of adversity in Dallas and hinted at what was in store for them this year.

“It looked like we were about to lose that game, and momentum was totally with SMU,” Larson said. “Everyone took it onto themselves and said, ‘Hey, we got

SOLOMON FROM PAGE 21

Solomon, like his teammates, is ready to start playing against someone that is not his own team.

“I always joke around with Will [Parks]. I’m tired of beating Will in one-on-one coverage,” he said.

There will undoubtedly be mistakes made during the first game of the season. The team as a whole will have their rust, but Solomon likes what he sees from the offense.

“We could be better at some things. Shout out to Nick Wilson,” Solomon said. “The things that he does—he contributes to the run game and opens up the pass game for us.”

With a deep receiving group, Solomon says slot receivers Samajie Grant and Nate Phillips will be vital in the flow of the offense.

“They contribute a lot to our offense,” Solomon said. “They just open up the big guys on the outside, with Dave Richards and Cayleb Jones.”

The offensive line has some uncertainties due to injury. Senior Cayman Bundage moved over from guard to replace the injured

Carter Wood at center. Though the transition took some time, Solomon says Bundage has been improving.

“He’s doing better,” Solomon said. “He’s doing better on placing his snaps and just recognizing the calls for the offensive line.”

Solomon feels the offensive line could be a strong unit this season as well.

“They have the potential to be better than last year. With Freddie [Tagaloa] and [Zach] Hemmila and Cayman—those guys gave me time with the defensive line that we have,” Solomon said. “It’s hard to block Scooby [Wright III], but if we have five seconds—if I have five seconds—that’s pretty good.”

Come Thursday night, the speculation will end.

The positional and strategic questions will be answered once kickoff gets underway.

For Solomon, the feeling of a home owner is a combination of nervousness and focus.

“Everything’s tingly. You get nervous. Everybody gets nervous,” Solomon said. “You just have those butterflies in your stomach but, all in all, we came here to play a game.”

to win this game right now,’ and people stepped up. It was not just at that point of the game, but throughout all three matches. … We showed what we could do even when we were losing.”

Last season, Larson played in all 34 games while finishing fifth on the team in digs with 223 and accounting for 14 assists as the Wildcats went 2410, good enough for third place in the Pac-12 Conference.

They would go on to reach the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

In March, Larson was named a member of the 12-player USA Volleyball team and got to compete in the World University Games in Gwangju, South Korea. There, Larson and the USA women’s volleyball team placed ninth out of 16 teams.

The libero from Lakeville, Minn., is also a stud in the classroom, as she maintained a 4.0 last season while studying molecular and cellular biology, which placed her on the Pac12 all-academic first team and

Capital One Academic alldistrict second team.

Somehow, Larson manages to balance both a rigorous academic schedule and her vital role on the team.

The Wildcats’ home opener is this Friday at 6 p.m. against South Dakota, and Larson is pumped to play in front of the home crowd again.

“I can’t wait. We have been talking about it this past weekend, and I can’t wait to get back in front of everyone. The band, the fans, the atmosphere is so great,” Larson said. “It’s always great to come back.

Let’s put on a show for our fans and keep it up.”

Larson and the rest of the women’s volleyball team make their home debut when they take on South Dakota, FAMU and Cal State Northridge this weekend in McKale Center as they aim for the NCAA Championship in Omaha, Neb.

Do you know your enemy: UTSA UTSA loses nearly every starter from last season, including quarterback; The Roadrunners are also adding a new up-tempo offense this year

BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat

Scooby Wright III is the type of guy who lets his play do the talking. For as much havoc as he causes on the field, he’s a modest speaker, rarely offering any major soundbites.

It was the same story Monday afternoon when a group of reporters huddled around Wright to get his take on Arizona’s opening opponent: UTSA. Wright, as always, said the correct lines.

“They lost so many guys from last year, so we really don’t know [what to expect].”

Indeed, the Roadrunners lost 18 senior starters, and 36 players overall, from a year ago. To say that they’re inexperienced would be an understatement.

One of the 19 starting spots where UTSA brings in a newcomer is at quarterback. And young, inexperienced quarterbacks playing on the road typically don’t fare well against All-American linebackers.

So when a reporter asked Wright if his eyes get a little bigger glossing over a redshirt freshman quarterback, the candid Wright couldn’t help but break into a smile.

He didn’t need to say anything else. The answer lay within the grin.

A season ago, when Arizona played UTSA in San Antonio, the program was labeled as the most experienced in college football.

The senior-laden Roadrunners gave Arizona quite a scare in 2014.

The Wildcats walked away with a 26-23 victory only after Jared Tevis made a late-game interception to seal the win.

Don’t expect Thursday’s matchup to be anywhere near as competitive. As mentioned before, UTSA is welcoming newcomers at nearly every position, including quarterback and running back.

Starting at quarterback for UTSA will be Blake Bogenschutz, a 6-foot,

Tyler Baker/The Daily Wildcat

Former Arizona linebacker Jake Fischer, number 33, goes for a tackle against UTSA on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013.

195-pound native of Carthage, Texas.

A redshirt freshman, Bogenschutz saw limited time last year before suffering a seasonending injury in October. He has reportedly looked sharp throughout UTSA’s offseason, running a newly implemented nohuddle offense.

At running back, UTSA will likely depend on junior Jarveon Williams to take most of the carries. Listed at

5’ 9”, Williams ran for 325 yards and three touchdowns last season.

However, UTSA is likely to keep the ball mostly in the air.

The Roadrunners have a decent receiving corps that will look to test an inexperienced Arizona secondary.

On the opposite side of the ball, UTSA lost most of its production on the defensive line and also needs to replace a handful of safeties and cornerbacks. The young

defense will have their hands full attempting to slow down Arizona’s up-tempo offense.

For UTSA’s part, the Roadrunners sound confident that all the new pieces will not stand in their way of playing competitive football.

“We don’t have the experience, but I think talent-wise, … we have a more talented team [than last year],” UTSA head coach Larry Coker told kens5.com.

“I like our staff a lot. I think we

have a really good upside.”

The Roadrunners enter the game as 31-point underdogs according to sports bookies.

Opening kickoff on Thursday is slated for 7 p.m. The game will also be televised on Pac-12 Networks and broadcast on Arizona IMG Sports Network.
