After talks with UA administration and advisors, it was decided that it would

The Eller College of Management unveiled the new Karl and Stevie Eller Professional Development Center at their annual fall career expo on Monday Sept. 19.

Production for the center began about three years ago when the Eller Student Council proposed a lower-division fee for the expansion of their professional development resources. Once approved, the new hiring of career coaches and expansion of physical space for the resource center moved forward.

This is Eller’s first capital project in 24 years and the project was funded completely through private donations.

At the career expo, there were 64 employers interviewing and speaking to hundreds of business students.

“I really got to meet a variety of companies that I wouldn’t have even thought of if I would not have attended,” said Amanda Emery, a marketing senior.

“It’s something I highly recommend to people. It’s very important to come and meet employers—without it you really wouldn’t know what you’re getting yourself into.”

In order to aid in student success, the 13,000-square-foot PDC spans two floors within Eller and contains offices, interview rooms and seminar rooms where students can rent to work and collaborate together, in addition to having office hours where students can walk in and get help.

The PDC went from having only two staff members to 12—one career coach for each major.

Jude Udeozor will be sworn in as president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council on Sept. 27 when current president Zachary Brooks’ resignation takes effect.

Udeozor, a second-year international graduate student from Nigeria pursuing a master’s degree in chemical engineering, ran for executive vice president of GPSC last semester.

Udeozor said the reason he wanted to get involved with GPSC was because he had discovered a passion for leading and advocating for students while earning his bachelor’s degree in Nigeria.

During his final year of school, he took on a leadership role with a large student club that planned events and did volunteer work.

“It was something I really enjoyed, almost more than my studies,” Udeozor said of his former leadership role. “I

ENR2 goes platinum with LEED certification The UA Environmental and Natural Resources 2 building was granted platinum level certification—the highest designation in the LEED program—by the U.S. Green Building Council

BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1

The Environmental and Natural Resources 2 building has gained platinum level certification in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Designation from the U.S. Green Building Council.

The building, completed in summer 2015, is now the largest LEED Platinum project certified under LEED v2009 by square feet in Arizona, according to Rachel Gilbert, media and communication specialist for the USGBC. LEED is a system of certification through the USGBC that bases its certification off a point system correlated to the different sustainability efforts it incorporates.

ENR2’s certification falls in line with UA Planning, Design and Construction’s goal to have all new campus buildings achieve a minimum of a LEED Silver certification, according to Peter Dourlein, assistant vice president for UA Planning, Design and Construction.

Dourlein said for ENR2 specifically, there was a goal to achieve platinum. He said because the building was largely for the environmental, earth and animal sciences discipline—which often research climate change—the building needed to be a flagship for sustainability.

To achieve this goal, the building was designed to conserve energy and water and was constructed to

use locally sourced and recyclable materials, according to Dourlein, who oversaw the unit that worked on the design and construction of the building.

“We’re going to keep these buildings for a long time, and so we want them to be economical over their life span and not use a whole lot of energy—not use a whole lot of water,” Dourlein said. “We want them to be healthy spaces that have clean air and views and natural light so that people can be productive there.”

Designing the building involved energy modeling and evaluating various concepts for electric power, cooling, heating, overhang and shading, according to Henry Johnstone, the president of GLHN Architects & Engineers, Inc. and the architect and engineer of record for the building.

To achieve LEED Platinum certification, projects must earn a minimum of 80 credits that are determined by the USGBC. Gilbert said those behind a new building can choose which credits they want to focus on during its design, Gilbert said.

ENR2 earned a total of 81 out of 110 possible credits, earning all six credits under the innovation category and all four regional priority credits, according to the building’s LEED scorecard on the USGBC website.

Having accomplished the goal of LEED Platinum certification for ENR2, Dourlein said the focus is now on monitoring the building’s

“So your finance career coach is sitting right next to your finance adviser and they work together as a team to ensure both academic and career success for the student,” said Sarah Diaz, professional development center director. “Part of the story that we tell is: It used to be when you would see a student wearing a suit you would ask, ‘oh what presentation do you have today?’, because that’s what they would dress up for. And now that we have the PDC here, you walk around and you see students in suits and you ask, ‘oh who are you interviewing with today?’—so it’s just kind of a shift in culture.”

Eller also rebuilt its eSMS student portal website and made it into a mobile app, according to Diaz.

Diaz said once up and running, the app will allow to schedule appointments, apply for jobs and internships and receive notifications for the events they RSVP’d for on the app.

“We are at 87 percent in career outcomes and we have seen a growth of 14 percent since we hired our career coaches three years ago,” Diaz said. “I really am looking to see continuing upward trends, but I would like to see better

Diaz said that students are not only leaving with more job offers, but now students are getting new opportunities that the college has not seen before.

“I think it’s one of the best resources you can get in a school,” said Jack Trump, marketing senior and PDC associate.

“Especially with seeing all of these recruiters come in and working with them directly, I know what they are looking for so I can kind of be a liaison in a fun way to help students get the jobs that they want.”

Trump said he will help students who come into the center with their cover letters and resumes for professional admission and also assist students in need of help with jobs or internships.

Trump said he hopes he can be of help to those who use the center, just like others helped him when he was a freshman and sophomore.

“I think that our students will be tremendous sales people, not only in just terms of selling in a job but selling themselves, selling their personal brand,” Trump said. “I think it is just as important as anything else to have the confidence to say ‘I’m here and I know what I am doing.’ That’s what the PDC gives to students.”

UA partners with Tucson, creates homebuyer initiative to boost ownership around campus

BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall

The City of Tucson and the UA have partnered together in an effort to boost home ownership around campus.

Many of the rental properties around the UA are experiencing higher vacancy rates as students move into student housing options around the community. A few months ago, President Ann Weaver Hart and Mayor Jonathan Rothschild talked about finding a way to reverse this trend.

The Help for Homebuyers initiative was the result—a program that seeks to boost homeownership for lowand middle-income Tucsonans. The UA plans to encourage use of this initiative to help fill vacant homes in neighborhoods around the campus.

“For the university, it is great if our faculty and staff choose to live nearby,” said Tannya Gaxiola, assistant vice president of community relations at the UA. “It just makes for a better lifestyle; it makes for a better retention; it’s just all around good.”

Gaxiola also said that if people lived closer to campus they could

walk, take the streetcar or take the bus, which makes for a greener campus. It would also increase owner occupancy in neighborhoods and create housing opportunities for faculty, staff and students.

A homebuyer expo was held in the UA Student Union Grand Ballroom on Sept. 13 as a way for community members to learn more about the initiative. The mayor’s office cohosted the event with lenders, realtors, social service agencies and employers on credit repair and homebuyer assistance and education programs in Tucson.

“We actually did it during work hours and after work hours as well so we would be able to have as much access for people as possible to come access those resources here on campus,” Gaxiola said. “It was a nice partnership between the university and the mayor’s office.”

Details of the initiative, which are listed on the mayor’s website, include down payment assistance of 10 percent of purchase price or 5 percent of mortgage loan for Tucsonans who make up to $92,894. These are just two of nine initiatives listed.

The money is administered

through the Industrial Development Authority of the City of Tucson, according to Gaxiola.

Gaxiola also said that she hopes that the mayor’s program, which is available to the entire Tucson community, will encourage people to buy homes around the UA, instead of just rent.

According to the U.S. News Report on Higher Education, 80 percent of students who attend the UA live off campus. Although many of these students rent apartments or houses, there are a handful whose parents have purchased properties for their children to live in while attending school.

Gina Williams, a neuroscience junior, said her dad bought a house for her to live in while she was at school because he thought it would be a better investment for the three years she would spend in the house, plus four more years when her brother would eventually move to Tucson for school. However, her brother’s plans changed.

“Even though it didn’t work out that my brother is going to come here, I still think it was better than renting because I was really able to make it

my own and change things about it that I don’t particularly like,” Williams said. “And I think after I graduate and move out my dad will either rent it out or just sell it.”

The mayor’s initiative can potentially encourage students and their parents, like Williams, to consider buying instead of renting.

As a result, those vacancies in houses around the UA have the potential to be filled.

“I think this is a really great example of how, when the university and the city partner, we can do really good things for the community,” Gaxiola said. “And I hope that as many people as possible take advantage of this.”

Regents talk state funding, Hart’s transition terms

BY DAILY WILDCAT STAFF @DailyWildcat

The Arizona Board of Regents kicked off its first meeting of the academic year at Northern Arizona University to discuss what’s new and what’s to come at all three of Arizona’s public universities.

Here are some key points the regents touched on in their first gathering of the semester: The board unanimously approved amendments to the three Arizona university presidents’ contracts, including the transition terms for Hart’s move from president to faculty.

These terms include her taking a oneyear sabbatical for her first year as an appointed faculty member.

Hart will also receive salary and benefits equal to the highest-paid faculty member of the College of Education.

Board President Eileen Klein gave her president’s comprehensive report on university enrollment.

Klein also touched on the upcoming Oct. 1 budget request. The Klein said the request will focus on prioritizing students who are residents of Arizona and critical needs of each university.

Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Michael Finnegan also took to the podium during the regents’ call to the audience. Finnegan addressed the increase in tuition during his talk and challenged the board to address food insecurity on the UA campus and to find a way to support students who struggle to pay university tuition.

The regents reiterated one after another the need to strengthen their relationship with the state in order to increase funding.

“It’s not about funding the universities, it’s about funding the students,” said Michael Crow, Arizona State University president.

Realistically they said they’d like the state to come up with the money to fund half the cost of attendance per in-state student.

The board discussed and approved the

fiscal year 2018-2020 capital improvement plans for each of the three universities.

Throughout the three Arizona universities there is an estimated $671 million in deferred maintenance, according to Lorenzo Martinez, associate vice president for finance and administration to the board.

Martinez said the plans are fairly small compared to the past years and the UA doesn’t have any project plans in the first year because of the leadership transition taking place. The UA does, however, have 11 projects listed on their two-year capital plan forecast, which have the potential of being considered in the future.

These projects include Arizona Stadium improvements, renovations to Centennial Hall, creation of a computational lab building, land acquisition and central campus infrastructure improvements.

UA President Ann Weaver Hart said it’s incredible how bad some of these buildings are and while they’re good at setting goals, they aren’t good at creating financial plans

to implement them.

Klein said it’s on them to tell the state what they need them to do.

Michele Reagan, Arizona secretary of state, spoke to the board about the upcoming elections and the importance of getting people to vote.

Reagan said they’re focused on innovating the secretary of state office and engaging millennials and other voters. She said their new mobilefriendly website gives up-to-date information about the upcoming elections, initiatives and platforms and campaign finances of candidates.

She said their reason for creating the website is to get more people engaged and make the system more transparent.

In the last couple of years, Reagan said there’s been a troubling decline in the number of voters aged 18-25. She said in the last election, 4 percent of votes came from that voting block, which could have made a difference in nearly every statewide campaign in 2014.

The University of Arizona Police Department held a ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 22 for the promotion of a police radio dispatcher and the swearing-in of a new police canine.

UAPD officers and staff members, as well as friends and family, gathered to watch the ceremony, which opened with the promotion of police radio dispatcher Michelle Robinson to police radio dispatch supervisor.

After Police Chief Brian Seastone announced Robinson’s promotion, he introduced the next part of the ceremony: The swearing in of UAPD’s newest canine, Trigger. While Seastone said that UAPD usually reserves ceremonies for the promotion of employees, Trigger is the first canine to be sworn in at a ceremony.

Trigger was sworn in on Thursday but has been with UAPD since May. The two year old chocolate lab had been trained for about a year before he came to the UAPD. Rene Arriaga, the UAPD K-9 officer that works with Trigger, said he works specifically as a narcotic canine.

Seastone said in his speech at the ceremony that Trigger has found 100 pounds of marijuana and smaller amounts of different drugs.

He said he works with the canine during the entirety of his shift, which is fun.

“If I’m having a hard time at work, I can rely on him to take a lot of stress off, and ... he’s always there to listen,” Arriaga said.

T

he thing about pride is that it’s subjective. You can’t demand that someone have pride in their school football team, you can’t insist they be proud of their hometown and you also can’t dictate how they demonstrate their pride—not if you want a genuine display.

You can certainly demand that they fake it, but then what is the whole point? Sometimes it feels like this is what the national anthem tradition at sporting events has become.

That’s not to say that American’s aren’t proud of our country or that we aren’t thankful for our troops, but the whole ceremony has become so routine. When I go to something like a baseball game, I often wonder how many people are actually thinking about the flag and how many people are just waiting to bite into that hotdog on the chair next to them and hear a few bats crack.

People have many different ways of showing respect and pride and some have very specific reasons why they don’t show it.

In a nation founded on the principles of free speech, one would think that these differences would be embraced and accepted. Unfortunately, exercising the right to dissent has never been looked at in a good light.

The reason I bring all of this up is the recent outcry surrounding San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his refusal to stand during the national anthem. Despite the fact that his actions has not harmed anyone and was, in fact, a very passive protest, people are up in arms over his “un-American” behavior.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with Kaepernick’s stance or his actions, the question still stands: Should he be allowed to protest the way he did?

According to Independence Hall Association, while the United States Flag Code is technically written into law, it’s not an enforceable law. It serves mostly as a guideline for citizens to follow on a voluntary basis rather than a punishable offense. It also happens to state that the flag should not

appear on apparel, bedding, napkins, boxes or really anything that isn’t used as a flag.

Yet people love displaying their American pride with t-shirts, ties, Fourth of July party plates and even underwear. According to the U.S. Flag Code, wearing those American flag boxers is just as disrespectful as not standing for the anthem, but again, people have different ways of showing their pride.

Americans are also upset because they feel that by not standing, Kaepernick is disrespecting our nation’s troops, police officers, firefighters and anyone else who has given their lives for this country.

When you really think about it though, the

national anthem and the U.S. flag are really just symbols. They are certainly important and valuable symbols that deserve respect, but the national anthem hasn’t fought overseas, the American flag hasn’t charged into burning buildings or stopped dangerous criminals. People did all of that and continue to do all of that and I believe there are many other, possibly even more genuine, ways of showing respect and appreciation to these people then just standing up before a football game.

Finally, there is the issue that, although in many ways the National Anthem and the American flag are symbols of what

makes this country great, for some people they also represent areas where this country can improve.

That’s where Colin Kaepernick comes in. According to an article by Steve Wyche, Kaepernick says his reason for sitting during the anthem is that he didn’t want “to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.”

Regardless of anyone’s opinions on his statement, I don’t believe his actions are “un-American.” In fact, I believe standing up—or in this case, sitting down— for what you believe in is the most American thing you can do.

Tucson’s job growth ranking leads to speculation T-town is on the rise

BY JULIAN CARDENAS @DailyWildcat

In a recent Bloomberg article, research by economist Jed Kolko showed that Tucson was ranked third in the list of cities with fastest job growth in the US. Two cities in Utah, OgdenClearfield and Provo-Orem, beat out Tucson with a 0.4 percent higher job growth difference.

The list is composed mostly of small or mid-size cities, the article highlights.

It was estimated that Tucson added 10,400 new jobs in the first three months of the year, as reported by the Daily Wildcat.

That’s a lot of jobs.

What does this rapid growth imply to our city and to our university? What things will change if we manage to grow into a bigger city, with more readily available jobs?

More jobs means more people.

This means more people will be attracted to living here, studying here, eating here, performing here, and vacationing here—our population will ultimately grow.

People should wonder though: Is our city equipped to house all these new opportunities?

Most of the growing jobs in Tucson seem to be jobs focused on infrastructure. These jobs are necessary in order for our city to grow and be accessible to the

many people now working here.

It seems that most of Tucson is under construction at the moment, but what is our goal? Is our city growing in proportion to our job growth, or are we simply growing in jobs that won’t contribute to the overall growth of our city? Maybe we are on our way to becoming the largest city in Arizona.

Sorry, Phoenix.

One visually important thing

that Phoenix has and that Tucson doesn’t, is the presence of skyscrapers. Skyscrapers, although not a requirement of a big city, are tall-tell signs that a city is well-developed, modern, and innovative.

Skyscrapers are built when there is no longer room to build sprawling complexes to house buisnesses, organizations or people. Instead of building new offices far away, skyscrapers

allow people to still be near to the heart of the city.

Could our rapid job growth, and the massive space that Tucson covers, mean that we will soon be adding higher, taller, buildings to our skyline?

We have some tall buildings already, including the recently constructed Sol and Luna apartment buildings, that are considered some of the tallest in Tucson.

I guess you could say skyscrapers are few and far between in Tucson. Our skyscrapers are really small, too.

Actually, other than the One South Church building and the Bank Of America Plaza downtown, there are few buildings that would even be considered tall enough to be called skyscrapers.

Sure, they’re tall in comparison to the rest of the buildings in Tucson, but they certainly aren’t scraping the sky.

Why, you may ask yourself, am I rambling on about skyscrapers? Because, for me, it’s extremely interesting to think about the possibility of skyscrapers in Tucson.

We currently, luckily, have a lot of unused space to build on, but eventually we’re going to run out of it.

People are attracted to Tucson’s views and the feeling of a mid-sized city.

But if we want more jobs to be available, eventually we will have to realize that we’re running out of space on the ground and start building up.

Tucson will be forced to become a more metropolitan and nationally recognized city whether we like it or not.

With growth comes great responsibility and the possibiltiy of great change.

ARTS & LIFE Former UA pres. talks Ansel Adams, creating CCP’s photography archives Friday — Sunday Sept. 23 — Sept. 25 Page 9

Editor: Sean Orth arts@dailywildcat.com (520) 621-7579

BY MARYAM SOBHANI @layli_maryam

Photography serves as a way to analyze, empathize with and comprehend the progression of humanity throughout the ages, and thankfully the UA possesses one of the largest archives for photography in the country. The Center for Creative Photography was developed by President Emeritus of the UA, Dr. John P. Schaefer and one of America’s most beloved photographers, Ansel Adams.

How the UA got a hold of Ansel Adams’ legacy and developed one of the largest, most complete archives of 20th century American photography all began with Schaefer’s passion for the art form.

“I was very active in collecting books at the university, science books especially, as my background is in science,” Schaefer said. “I quickly came to realize that although we had a good collection of first editions of science key works, there was no way we were ever going to catch up with Harvard or Yale who had a 300year head start—no one was collecting photography.”

Schaefer said that he used photography as an outlet to channel his creativity since he was young and continued when he got into the administration.

In 1974 during his presidency, Schaefer met Ansel Adams at a 350-print photography show.

“I was very interested in collecting photography in a serious kind of way,” Schaefer said. “During the opening of the show, which was a very big event, I asked [Ansel Adams] if he would like to give his archives to the University of Arizona.”

It occurred to Schaefer that photographs had become the literature of the time and that’s what drew him to Adams’ work.

Schaefer said he thinks a big part of this cultural affinity for photos came from a society influenced by the constant

stream of photos and videos of the Vietnam War. “Ansel Adams was recognized, worldwide, as one of the finest practitioners of photography as an art,” Schaefer said. “I asked him about his archives, he was rather surprised and said ‘Berkeley thinks they’re going to get my archives, but they’re just going to bury it in the basement of the Bancroft Library. If you’d like to do something on a grander scale [with photography], I’d like to talk to you.’”

That December, Schaefer went up to his home and he and Adams talked about photography, further developing Schaefer’s concept for the CCP.

It turned out there were a lot of other photographers in Adams’ age bracket who didn’t know what to do with their photography. Schaefer reached out to them, as well.

“No other universities were really collecting photography, or looking at it as an art form or social document,” Schaefer said.

Schaefer’s ambitious concept became realized and the CCP opened in 1975.

Ansel Adams is known for his distinctive black-and-white photography, and Schaefer said he came to understand why he preferred this aesthetic medium. “[Adams] did a lot of color photography,” Schaefer said.

“He didn’t like it, primarily because you couldn’t reproduce colors very well in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Color just didn’t resonate with him.”

Schaefer said that Adams was a fabulous technician, but he was a terrible writer in terms of explaining what to do.

“One job I took on, in the late 1980s after his death, was to rewrite his technical books in two volumes,” he said. “I refer to it as translating them into English.”

Adams’ collection preserves the adventurous life that the photographer lived, but Schaefer vividly remembers Adams from a more personal perspective.

“He was a delightful man in every aspect of his personality and relationship with people,” said Schaefer. “I became a trustee of his estate and still work today publishing calendars that I put out every year.”

The CCP remains an important staple of the UA, and Schaefer said he couldn’t be more proud that the institution was a part of his legacy.

“I think back on my years as president [of the UA] and this is one of the most significant achievements we had. It’s something that I am proud of and Arizona should be proud of.”

Tech N9ne brings his angels, demons to Rialto

BY REBECCA NOBLE @rnoblephoto

From now until Halloween, rapper Tech N9ne, his right-hand man Krizz Kaliko and other members of the Strange Music tribe will blaze across the country on The Calm Before the Storm Tour.

The tour, named after Tech’s 1999 debut album, will hit Tucson’s Rialto Theatre on Friday, Sept. 23.

“The whole world has to be aware of Tech N9ne, and there are places that have no clue,” Tech said. “We’ve accomplished great things in this music game, gained so many fans, [and are] still gaining, but world domination is not here yet. This is not the end. This is the new beginning.”

Heavy clouds filled with 24 years of hardcore hip-hop gospel are set to rain down all over the nation when the Kansas City native’s 17th studio effort, The Storm, drops on Dec. 9.

“I knew if I named this album The Storm it would push me to do my best music ever, so I guess you could say my career is coming full circle,” Tech said. “I wouldn’t say this is the destination—this is the launching pad.”

Before donning his iconic jumpsuits and face paint as Tech N9ne, Aaron Dontez Yates grew up in a devout

Christian family in the heart of Kansas City, Missouri. He sang with his church choir, The Sunshine Band.

“That teaching of Christianity followed me,” Tech said. “That was my whole life.”

Tucked in between the plentiful and powerful tales of “being the dopest rapper in the world,” Tech N9ne has crafted an intimate portrait of a man’s internal battle between his angels and demons, all while building one of the world’s most successful independent musical empires. “‘Pinocchio’ was how I see myself on the inside—‘I just want to be a normal boy, just want to be a normal boy,’” Tech said, citing the twisted account from his 2009 confessional, K.O.D. “I ran from a lot of those songs for a long time because it’s heavy on your soul trying to do all that dark music.”

Tech N9ne’s introspective struggles bleed into his music.

“You become that, and that’s when I realized that I really had a lot of darkness,” he said. “It’s like I picture all of these dark figures flying around me, but I’m the king in the middle and they try to attack me so strong, but I’m the king ... I am the king of my own darkness. I can control it now.”

Super Cool News

How to deal with bad roommates

BY ALEC KUEHNLE @ThrowMeAnAllie

Editor’s note: Super Cool News is a Daily Wildcat feature that shares the, yes, coolest news happening around town and around the country. Try not to take what its writers have to say too literally.

Well, Wildcats, we’ve already made it through an entire month of the semester. Classes will soon become more intense, tests and papers will begin to pile up and the memory of summer vacation will remain a distant glimmer of the past.

It’s also about that time we start to see our roommates, a once amiable relationship, as a threat to our well-being.

While roommates serve as an initial friendship in college, nobody really wants them, yet it gets branded into our minds from an early age that they represent an important part of the college experience.

Right, because why would you not want to live with a complete stranger and be forced to share your habits of living with them?

It may be true that not all roommates are complete strangers. In fact, some roommates have known each other for their entire lives.

Unfortunately, nothing ruins a lifelong friendship faster than a college roommateship.

When you first met your roommate, you probably put on the fake roommate face as you politely introduced yourself and then proceeded to ask trivial questions such as “How are you?,” “How was your trip out here?,” “What’s your major?” and all of the other filler garbage we use to keep from hating one another.

These civil interactions and polite moments from the beginning of the semester have probably ended. Moments of walking into your dorm and staring angrily at your roommate for several seconds have probably replaced them.

It’s bad enough you have to live with these people. You can’t expect to actually converse with them.

The best course of action to take with your roommate is to set clear guidelines and boundaries at the beginning of the semester.

This will help you get to know your roommate better and therefore allow you to get a better sense of what it will be like to live with them.

When that fails—and it most definitely will— you should try to get them kicked out. Some “accidentally left out” drugs or alcohol is a good place to start, but don’t be afraid to get creative.

“My roommate last year moved out within, like, a week of moving in,” said one UA student.

“I just never told anyone. I was afraid that if I did, they would force me to get another roommate.”

The student wished to remain anonymous, fearing that if it became known he went all of last year without a roommate, the UA Residence Hall Association would force him to have one this year, despite the fact that he now lives by himself in an off-campus apartment.

If getting the roommate kicked out proves too trying a task, you should simply endure it and minimize all forms of communication with them.

Memorize your roommate’s class schedule to make sure you never have to spend time together in the room. Make sure to join several extracurriculars as an additional way to spend time outside the room. Less time in the room equals less time with personal enemy No. 1.

“I have a job on campus, I’m in a sorority and I’m the president of a club,” said nutritional sciences junior Mckenzie Dryden.

“I usually tell people that I do these things to make friends, improve my resume and make a difference in the community, but the real reason I get involved is to avoid my roommates.”

You can’t argue with that logic. College students simply should not coexist in such a small space together.

Everyone with a roommate needs to figure something out soon because as the clock continues to tick, you-know-who continues to eat your food without your permission.

The Loft holds first-ever Art House Theatre Day

BY SHANE HOLLY @shaneholly94

Art house theaters emerged in post-war America as a response to counter-culture and as an alternative to the increasing popularity of television. The Loft Cinema, Tucson’s own art house theater since 1972, will celebrate its first Art House Theatre Day this Saturday.

The day-long event “celebrates the art house theater and the cultural role it plays in a community,” according to The Loft’s website.

There will be three screenings, food trucks and giveaways at the end of each screening.

The Loft has long been dedicated to and engaged with the Tucson community. From First Friday Shorts, where local filmmakers get the opportunity to show their films on the big screen before an audience, to Loft Kid’s Fest, a

nine-day festival of free films for kids, the focus always lies on the intersection of community and great cinema.

“No matter where you live in the country, you need to have a creative outlet,” said Jessi Kyte, The Loft’s assistant manager and projectionist. “That’s what makes Tucson so stunning, and The Loft is at the core of it.”

The event’s eclectic collection of screenings include “A Town Called Panic,” a French stop-motion film based on a popular children’s series, will play at noon. At 3 p.m.

“Cinema Paradiso” will play, an Italian film that dramatizes the life of a famous Italian filmmaker. Finally, “Phantasm,” an American horror film from 1979, will screen at 7:30 p.m.

In many ways, the collection of screenings reflects the cultural influences that helped shape art house cinema so many years ago.

In fact, international co-productions between countries like France and Italy with the United States helped develop the concept of art house cinema in the first place.

But let’s not forget the most important factor in this celebration—it will be a fun experience.

Indeed, “fun” always seems to top The Loft’s agenda.

With Mustache Mike’s, Sarge’s Cheescakes and Gigi’s Fusion food trucks alongside The Loft’s truly incredible concessions menu, the Art House Theatre Day promises to be a blast, even if you end up hating the movies.

Upon entering The Loft’s gated courtyard, buzzing with pre-film chatter, you may be lucky enough to have member and volunteer Laura Myers greet you before promptly asking for your ticket. With a wide grin spread across a bright face, Myers said she enjoys her

relationship with The Loft Cinema.

“I started living here [one] week, then I found this place, and I became a member the following week,” Myers said.

Myers has been a member now for eight years, which is slightly less than the hyperbolic 1,700 claimed by her ticket booth partner, Ed Staten. Staten has been a volunteer for three years, and he spoke of the theater with surprising passion.

“We get to meet so many different people,” he said. “It’s such a good crowd that comes in here, because of the type of movies that we show.”

And perhaps Ed said it best—the art house theater lives at the intersection of good art and community. It’s a brick and mortar place for like-minded people to gather and enjoy each other’s company. The Loft provides just that.

st Ea 538

The Arizona Wildcats football team will begin Pac-12 Conference play against the No. 9 Washington Huskies on Saturday night at Arizona Stadium.

After falling to BYU in the season opener, the Wildcats bounced back by defeating Grambling State and Hawaii in convincing performances.

But who are the Huskies?

Washington comes in undefeated after dominant wins over Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State. The Huskies have outscored their opponents 148-30 to begin the season. Washington, along with Stanford, is regarded as the team in the Pac-12 with the best chance of reaching the College Football Playoff.

Despite the lackluster non-conference slate, the Huskies have showcased an explosive offense that features numerous weapons.

The Huskies’ high-powered offense starts with the man under center, Jake Browning, who is in his second year at the helm after a productive first season as a true freshman a year ago. Browning is off to a scorching start to his sophomore campaign as he’s thrown 12 touchdowns with one interception while racking up 744 yards. His total quarterback rating (QBR) of 84.7 is good for fourth best in the Football Bowl Subdivison, while his .716 completion percentage is sixth best.

It’s also worth noting that Browning has plenty of talented playmakers around him, including receivers John Ross, Chico McClatcher, Dante Pettis and Brayden Lenius. The latter will be available Saturday after serving a three-game suspension to start the season.

While Browning has yet to show many weaknesses, the only knock on him in the past has been his inability to throw the long ball.

Washington is happy to welcome back Ross, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL. The electric wide receiver— regarded as one of the fastest players in the country—has tallied four touchdowns

Arizona to present ‘more of a challenge’ for No. 9 Washington Huskies

BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports

The first week of Pac-12 Conference play is supposed to set the tone for the rest of the season, and Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez and company will welcome the No. 9 Washington Huskies into Tucson.

The Huskies come in with a good defense, tied for No. 3 in points allowed and No. 10 with 11 sacks in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

However, the Wildcats are 3-1 at home against top-10 teams in the Rich Rodriguez era.

Alexis Mansanarez, sports editor for The Daily of the University of Washington, broke down her expectations for Saturday’s Pac-12 opener at Arizona Stadium.

DW: Washington comes in ranked in the top-10 to begin the Pac-12 schedule. What is the “shining moment” you take away from the first three wins?

AM: The UW’s defense has been incredible. The Huskies entered the season with a lot of preseason hype and after holding its opponents to only 30 points in three games, Washington has shown no signs of slowing down.

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro

Saturday marks the beginning of conference play for the Arizona football team, and the Wildcats would be hard-pressed to find a tougher opponent. The No. 9 Washington Huskies are coming to town, so Brandon Dawkins and the Wildcats have their work cut out for them.

Washington dismantled the Wildcats 49-3 in Seattle last season, as then-freshman Jake Browning carved Arizona’s defense for four touchdowns. Arizona may be riding high coming off back-to-back victories, but Washington is a much different animal.

Arizona’s last-second field goal lifted the Wildcats over Washington 27-26 the last time the Huskies traveled to Tucson in 2014.

The game looked like a sure Huskies win until Arizona recovered a fumble and Casey Skowron cashed in from 47-yards to give the Wildcats the win.

Since coming to Arizona, head coach Rich Rodriguez and the Wildcats have had a penchant for upsetting top-10 teams. They are 3-1 against such opponents at Arizona Stadium since 2012. Add in last year’s drubbing in Seattle and the Wildcats will definitely be motivated come Saturday.

“Those games are probably the easiest to motivate,” Rodriguez said. “When you play a top team, there will be a lot of buildup during the week. It is on the ESPN ticker all

of the time and you come to this level to play those games.”

Arizona is coming off of a dominant rushing performance against Hawaii that saw both Dawkins and freshman J.J. Taylor register their

first 100-yard performances. A lot has changed since the season opener when Dawkins saw no playing time and Taylor had one carry for negative four yards against BYU. The young duo will now be heavily relied on this Saturday.

If Anu Solomon is a go and coach Rodriguez decides to play him, he will look to avenge his last two games against Washington. Solomon has zero touchdowns and two interceptions in two career games against the Huskies.

Washington’s defense is allowing only 10 points per game, so whoever lines up under center for Arizona will need to be productive and careful with the ball.

If the Wildcats are going to have any success, they will need to play Browning much better than last year’s performance. The sophomore quarterback has 744 yards and 12 touchdowns to only one interception through three games.

Washington is averaging 49 points per game this year.

Running back Myles Gaskin complements Browning in the backfield and has carried the ball 40 times for 217 rushing yards and two touchdowns this season. Browning has a plethora of targets to throw to with John Ross, Chico McClatcher and Darrell Daniels, and they will present a challenge for Arizona’s defensive backs.

“Last year [at Washington], our game plan was to ... take advantage of [Browning] because he was a younger guy,” linebacker Michael Barton said. “Watching him on tape is like a 180 with the poise he has, the way he commands the offense and the way he makes accurate passes.”

Arizona and No. 9 Washington kickoff in Arizona Stadium at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.
