The screening of “Empire of Dirt” on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Loft Cinema is one of the many events happening around campus this weekend. The movie tells the story of three generations of Native American women that are forced to address their troubling pasts.
The last weekend of September presents plenty of opportunities for fun ranging from hockey to a chance to see a once every generation lunar eclipse BY Victoria Pereira
The Daily Wildcat Wildcat hockey Opener — Cold weather may still be months away, but hockey is returning to the UA this weekend. Arizona club hockey is playing NAU for its 2015-16 season opener at the Tucson Convention Center Arena tonight. The puck hits the rink at 7:30 p.m., and before the action begins TCC will host a Home Opener Happy Hour with live music and discounted concessions. Tickets are between $11 and $16 based on seating, with discounted student tickets available at $10, all of which can be purchased before the game or online. Lunar Eclipse — Want to see something spectacular? Go outside Sunday night, look up
and be amazed by a giant red moon lighting up the night sky. The moon will align perfectly to pass through the shadow of Earth and create an incredible sight for stargazers. The eclipse begins its penumbral phase around 5:11 p.m., but it won’t rise over Tucson’s horizon until about an hour later. The total eclipse begins at 7:11 p.m. and will last until 8:23 p.m., so grab a telescope and find a good viewing spot for this rare lunar event. Further information on this event can be found on p. B5. “Empire of Dirt” at The Loft Cinema — In partnership with Native Eyes Film Showcase, the Arizona State Museum and The Loft Cinema, “Empire of Dirt” will tell the stories of three Cree women dealing with troubled pasts tomorrow at 7 p.m. “When [Lena Mahikan’s] 13 year old,
Peeka, overdoses in the streets of Toronto, [Lena] is forced to return home to her estranged mother and face a lifelong legacy of shame and resentment,” the film’s description stated. Following the screening, awardwinning actress Cara Gee (Lena Mahikan) will hold a Q&A session for all in attendance. Tucson Symphony Orchestra — For those who want a break from raving dance music and party tunes, the Tucson Symphony Orchestra performs its opening shows this weekend. Guest conductor Andrew Grams will lead the TSO in its program “Copland Romance, Rachmaninoff Dance” tonight at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. One hour before the performances, Grams will discuss the program and his past work during Concert Comments, which are included
with admission. Tickets can be found online and at the TSO box office. Desert Museum Plant Sale — It has been said that studying or working in a room with a plant can actually increase work ethic and determination, so if you’re looking for a new plant to brighten a room, look no further than the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. With everything from trees, shrubs, perennials, vines and succulents, the annual plant sale at the museum this Sunday is sure to provide the perfect plant for every patron. The sale runs from 6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., so be sure not to sleep in too late after any UA vs. UCLA post-game celebrations.

Advertising of Bruegger’s food misleading BY Krisitne Bruun-Andersen The Daily Wildcat
Nick Smallwood/The Daily Wildcat
Conveniently located on the corner of Campbell Avenue and Speedway Boulevard, Bruegger’s Bagels is a savory stop for a variety of baked goods. However, the photos presented of the food do not accurately represent what is served.

Bruegger’s offers students a casual and relatively quick one-stop shop for all things breakfast and lunch. Better keep on baking bagels, Bruegger’s!
rt

that’s tasty and easily accessible, but the execution of making the meal appear to look like what is advertised is another story. For a total of about $7, customers can get a bagel sandwich and a hot, freshly brewed cup of coffee, making Bruegger’s Bagels just as affordable as any other bagel shop around. For the price and the convenience,
Bob ,
Although, when the meal arrives, the picture of what looked like a bagel sent from heaven shows up in a paper bag, slightly smushed. The bagel sandwich was served hot, made correctly, tasted fresh and was definitely satisfying, but it did not look anything like the picture. Bruegger’s Bagels provides a quality product
y ind
Bruegger’s is easily a familiar stop for many students, but the selection of fresh New Yorkstyle bagels, multiple locations and household name keeps customers coming back. Bruegger’s biggest advantage is its proximity. Tucson has 10 different locations, with one right off campus on Campbell Avenue. With dozens of other local cafe, bakery and bagel hangouts for students to choose from, Bruegger’s Bagels has its work cut out for it. So—are you ready to accept the challenge, Bruegger’s? Upon opening the shop’s big glass doors, which are covered in delicious-looking bagel sandwiches, customers are greeted with the sweet but savory scent of a doughy, freshlymade New York-style bagel. Each store is set up with the same general theme: walls covered in pictures of decadent, stacked bagel variations, wooden tables and chairs, and an easy-to-read, large menu covering the entirety of the front wall. Each guest approaches the front counter and orders the type of bagel he or she wants, followed by any additional toppings. Bruegger’s offers an extensive selection of cream cheese toppings, ranging from strawberry cream cheese to honey walnut butter. The walk-up-and-order system seems like a good idea for a quick bite to eat, but during crowded times of the day, customers can end up standing in line for long periods of time. This creates, what some may feel, too hectic and crowded an atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Also, being late to a job or class because of a busy bagel bite isn’t the best way to start anyone’s day. Bruegger’s displays a wide selection of pictures showing some of its customerfavorite sandwiches. Customers are drawn in by pictures of a fluffy egg and a perfect slice of steaming honey ham, all smothered in gooey melted cheese. This collection of deliciousness is perfectly set on a light crispy bagel, and the customer instantly knows what he or she wants to order.

Eddie Pain Maynard’s
Rebecca Noble/The Daily Wildcat
Eddie Pain, bartender of four years at Maynard’s Market and Kitchen, makes drink suggestions to patrons on Wednesday, Sept. 23. Pain estimates that he’s worked in about 15 bars in Tucson.
BY Emma Jackson The Daily Wildcat
Eddie Pain, bartender for 25 years and counting, gave The Daily Wildcat insight into working in the different areas of Tucson, funny conversations with customers, a famous person that hung out at his bar and a major accomplishment. Daily Wildcat: Where are you from? Eddie Pain: Tucson. Born and raised. How long have you been bartending for? 25 years. And have you always been here, or where else have you bartended? All over Tucson, about 10-15 different restaurants and bars. Is this you’re favorite, is that why you’re still here? Yeah. What’s your favorite part about working here? I just like being downtown because Tucson’s downtown is finally coming alive. We’ve got more people walking around. My last restaurant was Hacienda del Sol, so it was way up in the Foothills. And it was
a resort, but at least downtown we have so many people now so, it’s always busy. Tucson’s finally getting busy, so that’s one nice thing about being here. We’re in the heart of downtown, so we’re in the middle of everything. The host up front said you were an award-winning bartender, can you tell me about that? Yes, that was from GQ Magazine. I made top 50 bartenders in GQ Magazine in 2010. How did that come up, did someone nominate you? I had to get nominated, and then I had to do a statewide competition, which I won. Then I went to Las Vegas and competed in a two-day competition. So yeah, because I got to Vegas they picked the top 50 bartenders there. And it was through GQ Magazine and Bombay Sapphire gin. And to this day they still do it every year. Do you have a favorite drink to make? I do. It’s called the Cooler. Why do you like making that so much? It’s very refreshing, and it’s one of my signature drinks. It has cucumber, cilantro, Hendrick’s Gin, lime juice and agave nectar.
Do you have any drinks that bring up special memories? That one! It was actually featured in the GQ Magazine. Do you have any memorable customers? Hm, you mean from my whole experience of bartending? Yeah! Ah, probably John Denver, you know who he is? He was at my bar. I served at a private party in Tucson; he hung out at my bar for a while. Very nice gentleman. What do you appreciate in a customer? Someone that wants to be adventurous with drinks, and they like to try new things. And what’s something that customers do that pisses you off? They don’t tip! That’ll do the job. Do you guys host any special events here? Yeah, they do all kinds of stuff. Like wine dinners and beer fests. There’s all kinds of stuff that they do, but I don’t really do. Any of those I usually stay inside at the bar and my other bartender will go outside and do those kinds of things. Yeah they have all kinds of events here. And I’ll let you know our sister restaurant’s Hotel Congress, so
it’s the same owners. So they bring a lot of stuff over, too, and new things, different things that we do together. ’Cause we have that whole patio out there, and the same owners own the market next door also. So typically we’ll have a big event that’s out on the patio. This question might be a little hard: What do you think is the smartest way for a guy to buy a girl a drink? Hm, the smartest way for a guy to buy a girl a drink. I usually just have them, the guys will ask me to send it to over. That’s how I usually get it asked. They’ll be like, “Send that girl down at the end of the bar a drink.” And then I’ll bring it to her and say, “It’s from the guy down there.” And then they’ll just start talking like that, through me, which is funny. Because they’ll be like, “Oh go and tell him thank you.” So it’s fun. This bar gets really friendly, like on Fridays and Saturdays it’s packed. We kind of jam everybody in here, so it’s fun. Everyone’s having a good time, everyone’s talking to each other. I get a lot of conversations going with people. … So, I would say ask the bartender to send her a drink. — Follow Emma Jackson @emma_jackson

BOCA Tacos y Tequila BY ALEX ANGELES The Daily Wildcat
Among the restaurants along Speedway Boulevard lies a small, venerable building with sign above traffic proudly stating, “OUR SALSAS ARE HOTTER THAN YOUR WIFE.” Outside of the establishment, a quaint patio is set up with plastic chairs and wooden picnic tables. Upon entering the restaurant, the sound of Spanish music streams into the ears, and the smells of Mexican spices flow into the nose. The appearance inside gives off a vibe between dive bar and cantina. Welcome to BOCA Tacos y Tequila. BOCA isn’t your everyday taco shop. From simple Pollo tacos to loaded Big Dude Nachos, the menu is loaded with good eats all around. The restaurant focuses on its street-style tacos—each taco is ordered individually to allow the customer to mix and match different tacos. The tacos themselves are of decent proportion, and the taste is not lacking. The Puerco Verde Tacos, which cost $3.75, are shredded pork tacos cooked in a tomatillo sauce made from scratch. Another great option for tacos are the Camaron Tacos. Priced at $3.55, the diner gets the choice of either beer-battered shrimp or grilled shrimp, both marinated in lime, butter and chipotle. Along with a numerous amount of different tacos, customers get their choice
of either corn or flour tortillas, and all tacos come with a drizzle of guacamole and minced cabbage. As wonderful as each taco on BOCA’s menu is, it doesn’t stop there. There are plenty of creations to experience. One of these delicious dishes is the extremely popular BOCA Balls. This innovative culinary twist uses balls of chipotle mashed potatoes, which are then rolled in panko bread crumbs and fried. Each order is served with six balls and BOCA dipping sauce, costing only $5.25. Along with amazing dishes, the tacos also come with a variety of salsas that are freshly made every day. Now, these aren’t the runof-the-mill salsas that anyone can buy at the store. These complex salsas range from something like cilantro habanero orange salsa to a sweeter cranberry basil salsa. If a diner is feeling adventurous, every Wednesday the chef makes specialty tacos from exotic meat. This week’s exotic taco is made from alligator. Overall, BOCA Tacos y Tequila is a great place to go grab a bite to eat. The warm and relaxed ambiance invites guests to unwind and enjoy some flavorful food. BOCA is a place for diners who like new experiences in food and are willing to take a gamble every once in a while on the culinary roulette.

India, Spain and China: Oh my! Six new study abroad programs added at UA BY Chastity Laskey The Daily Wildcat
The annual Study Abroad Fair held on Sept. 23, showcased all the traveling opportunities available for UA students. Hosted by the Global Initiatives Study Abroad and Student Exchange programs, the fair filled the Student Union Memorial Center North Ballroom with informational booths on not only the different programs available for students, but helpful resources for how students can finance their travel and the steps to getting a passport. There are over 150 programs in over 60 countries available for UA students interested in studying abroad, and this year there are six new programs being offered to students. Harmony DeFazio, director of Study Abroad and Student Exchange, said, “We have students coming year after year saying, ‘We want a program that offers this,’ or,
‘We want to have a program there.’ So we then try and respond to that.” DeFazio said Study Abroad and Student Exchange adds new programs in response to faculty initiative and student demand in order to provide students opportunities that line up with faculty experience and connections abroad. New Programs Arizona in India: Religion and Life in Mysore is a new, fiveweek summer program open to students in any major, and the program doesn’t have a language requirement. Faculty Lead Caleb Simmons, an assistant professor of religious studies and classics, said, “Students that come along will get a better appreciation for the diversity of religious life.” Simmons said this new program is a great opportunity for students to gain a different perspective and visit a space of diverse religions. Students will not only observe how

Cartoon artist: more than jokes BY Michelle jaquette The Daily Wildcat
Nationally syndicated cartoon artist Lalo Alcaraz spoke to UA students Thursday about Fox’s upcoming animated show “Bordertown.” What began as a talk about his work turned into something more—a discussion about Latino culture in the media. Set to air in 2016, “Bordertown” has already received hate mail from Latino communities and others who are concerned about Seth McFarlane, creator of “Family Guy,” working on a project that deals with the sensitive subject of immigration. Alcaraz, a writer for “Bordertown,” is on a tour of the country screening the show to communities, trying to build support for the project. “Seth McFarlane is attached to it, but
he did not write anything on it,” Alcaraz said. “He actually hired five writers in the group, you know: myself, Gustavo Arellano, Vanessa Ramos—who does Comedy Central roasts, … and, you know, in a group of 14, that’s huge. That’s like a world record of [Latino] writers in a writer’s room.” Bordertown is set in the fictional town of “Mexifornia” and focuses on the relationship between two neighbors, Bud Buckwald—a white border patrol officer Alcaraz calls “the lovable bigot”—and Ernesto Gonzales, a Mexican immigrant. The main source of contention in the show is that Bud can’t figure out how Ernesto is slightly more well-to-do than he is. “The show is pretty pro-immigrant,” Alcaraz said. “If anyone should be worried, it’s the anti-hilly billy defamation league.” Alcaraz also mentioned a new Pixar film,
“Coco,” for which he is a consultant. The film is about family and focuses on the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos. At an early time, Disney had tried to copyright the title “Dia de los Muertos,” and Alcaraz responded with a cartoon featuring “Muerto Mouse” and the caption “It’s coming to trademark your cultura.” Alcaraz ultimately accepted the role of consultant for the film “Coco” because he wants to be able to influence the way Mexican culture is portrayed. An audience member decided to start the Q&A early, and asked “Are we going change it just because you are a consultant? You’re not even a writer for the show. Are you opening up historical avenues for our community?” As the long-time face of Chicano and Latino advocates in the media, Alcaraz was upset by the comments. Alcaraz was the
first Chicano to be nationally syndicated cartoon artist, and he cited a lack of Latinos working in the media, especially behind cameras in Hollywood. Alcaraz said breaking through those barriers presents a tough challenge. He said that this is why “Bordertown” was the perfect concept for a show. “For about 20 years, I’ve been rejected each time because it’s very tough to get into Hollywood. My show was about a group of Chicanos, and that is not flying in 1994 … or recently. Yeah, it still isn’t. It’s hard. But the genius thing here was that the show is half-white, half-Mexican,” Alcaraz said.

Arizona students aren’t college ready BY Sam Gross
The Daily Wildcat
Less than half of the seniors graduating from Arizona high schools meet the entrance requirements for the three major Arizona universities, according to a recent study done by the Arizona Board of Regents. The study, published Sept. 17, used 2014 data to conclude that only 46.5 percent of seniors graduating from Arizona high schools meet all of the criteria set by Arizona schools. As residents, students are only required to meet two standards — a GPA no lower than 2.50 and completion of 16 mandated competency courses with no more than two deficiencies. The only caveat is that the deficiencies cannot be in both math and science. “We’re not asking our students to be straight-A, calculus-taking students when they come out of high school,” said Eileen Klein, president of the Arizona Board of Regents. Klein said that the board is trying to target students who demonstrate
a solid understanding of English, eligible to attend those schools.

During this week’s board of regents meeting at Northern Arizona University, Klein will recommend an attainment goal to the board on behalf of herself and the presidents of the state universities. The plan would act in conjunction with Arizona’s private universities and community colleges to drive Arizona students toward a postsecondary education—a goal that Klein said she believes all postsecondary education institutions in the state can get on board with.
“I think it’s important that students have as many options available to them as possible,” Klein said, referring to growing enrollment numbers at private universities and community colleges, “but we all need to make sure that we are pulling in the same direction—and that is around helping to make sure that our students are prepared, and that we are helping them to get to and then through college.” While she was not able to go into further detail at this time, improved cooperation and alignment throughout Arizona’s education pipeline was a point that Klein continued to visit. Many of the initiatives she outlined addressed improving cooperation between the various parties in Arizona’s decentralized education system. Klein and the board of regents will further address the study and how they intend on improving upon the issues during this week’s board meeting in Flagstaff. — Follow Sam Gross @samzgross

American Indian Studies program expands BY Ava Garcia
The Daily Wildcat
A new addition to the bachelor’s degree programs was implemented at the UA this fall. The American Indian Studies program has created an undergraduate major, completing the track from minor to doctorate at the UA. The UA has had an undergraduate minor as well as a master’s and doctorate degree within the program for years, but only just created an undergraduate major for students to enroll in this year. According to Franci A. Washburn, director of graduate studies and associate professor of American Indian Studies, the creation of the bachelor’s degree started about two years ago when the program was informed that it needed to move into a department. From there, the process took off. “We formed a committee, and we worked through all of the courses that we already offer in the minor and decided what else [we needed] to add and how we need to change these [classes] to make it more appropriate for a B.A.,” Washburn said. These changes resulted in adding one more course to what was already taught through the program, as well as working with other departments, such as political science and anthropology, to cross-list courses with them. Throughout the process of creating course requirements, Washburn said she kept another goal in mind. “We wanted to make sure the degree we are creating is a rigorous degree, something that has a meat to it, but something that would also be useful — something where students could take this degree and do useful things with it once they graduate,” Washburn said. The program was approved in the spring and is now open for enrollment. Currently, there are five undergraduate students that have declared a major in American Indian Studies, according to Washburn, who added that the program is expecting between 12 and 20 undergraduate

its diffusion, like: what is the science behind certain aspects of the nutritional science fields, how do you work on strategic communication processes and how will the innovation be adopted by broader audiences?” Mars said. Mars added that Barcelona is the leader in food technologies and is very advanced in its innovative thinking and approaches. “We would argue that if you’re learning to do that in a culture that’s different than your own, then the learning experience is that much deeper and that much richer,” Mars said.

majors next year. “It worked out really well. We are really pleased with the progress, and we are anticipating being right on schedule with how many students we anticipated with the interest and how many we enrolled,” Washburn said. “It does seem we are fulfilling an interest that we hadn’t quite expected. It’s wonderful.” The interest in an American Indian Studies program hasn’t started just this year. Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan, an American Indian Studies graduate student from the Tohono O’odham Nation, minored in the program when she was getting her Bachelor of Arts in Journalism at the UA between 2008 and 2010. She said she would have double-majored in American Indian Studies and journalism had the university offered the undergraduate program when she was completing her undergraduate degree. “I was really bummed out when I found out that I couldn’t have that [double-major],” Ramon-Sauberan said. “The closest thing to it was minoring in [American Indian Studies]. I think that’s how a lot of us were. My friends that had taken AIS as a minor, I think they had wished that too, but that was the closest we could get to it.” Ramon-Sauberan said this lack of an undergraduate major in American Indian Studies is one of the reasons she returned to the UA to pursue her master’s degree in the subject. Now with the new Bachelor of Arts program, Washburn hopes that more students will pursue an advanced degree within the department. “We see this as potentially a feeder program that they get a B.A. here and then maybe they want to come and get a master’s degree, or maybe a Ph.D.,” Washburn said. “We are seeing it as a very win-win-win-win situation, all the way around. We are excited about it.” With the development of a bachelor’s degree program, a possible program for an accelerated master’s degree in the future has also been discussed, according to Mark L.M. Blair, the
throughout the fall, spring and summer. Program volunteer Bella Cen, a social sciences exchange student, said she recommends that anyone interested in East Asian studies, communication, nutritional sciences or global studies take this opportunity. The program offers a variety of courses in each of the above areas and gives students the chance to experience culture in China’s largest city. Cocoa in Mexico, International Service-Learning in Context, is a new multidisciplinary summer program offered in Tabasco, Mexico. Faculty Lead and Office of Global Initiatives program development manager Donella Ly said this is an exciting program in which UA students will be partnered with

senior program coordinator for American Indian Studies. While graduate programs are looking to increase enrollment, the minor program hasn’t grown with the addition of the bachelor’s program. “That’s somewhat encouraging, because a lot of the minors have been looking at the major, which we kind of anticipated might happen,” Blair said. “We love our minors, but we like to have as many majors as possible.” According to Washburn, within the major there are four different focus areas: societies
other students in similar disciplines at multiple Mexican universities to work on projects together. Ly said the program will work with about 50 universities and that all projects are in connection with the production of cocoa. She said students will learn about the agricultural and production aspects of cocoa industry and will work with community members to produce a cocoa product of their own. Arizona in the French Caribbean is a new summer program being offered in Fort-de-France, Martinique. Faculty Lead and Africana studies visiting assistant professor Jennifer Donahue said, “It’s action packed. We have excursions pretty much every weekend going to different historical sites like slave museums, rum distilleries, beach
and culture, law and policy, literature and natural resource management. These different concentrations allow for different applications of the degree, both in and out of native lands. “There are a lot of different areas where this degree could be very useful for students and it seems, because of our increasing enrollment in this degree, students are understanding that,” Wasburn said. “We are happy about that.”

Accessible Earth is a new sixweek summer program offered in Orvieto, Italy. Faculty Lead and geosciences professor Rick Bennett said Italy is an awesome opportunity for students because it is the birthplace of the science of geology, offering geological fascinations to students.

The UA Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium kicked off its first ever Moon Week last Friday. This Sunday marks its dramatic conclusion: Lunar Eclipse Night. A supermoon lunar eclipse will darken the sky on Sunday and be visible to everyone in the Tucson area. During this time, the moon will pass through the shadow of the Earth and appear visibly red as it refracts blue wavelengths of light into the Earth’s atmosphere, leaving the red ones behind. The lunar eclipse will have already started by the time the moon rises over the horizon at 6:10 p.m. and will be in full effect by the time the moon makes it way up into the sky at 7:12 p.m. It is estimated to reach its full peak around 7:47 p.m. before ending around 9:27 p.m. The eclipse will be even more special because the moon will be
at its closest point to the Earth in its orbit, meaning it will be considered a supermoon and will appear larger and brighter in the sky. During the Lunar Eclipse Night, which runs from 5-10 p.m., attendees can expect to watch the eclipsed moon rise over the horizon using telescopes set up by the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association and UA Astronomy Club on the lawn, and also from video feeds that will broadcast live from UA’s Mount Lemmon SkyCenter. For $5 per individual admission, attendees will have access to the entire science center and planetarium, which will contain additional moon-themed information in honor of Moon Week, as well as access to all additional activities and presentations. From 5-6:30 p.m., the doors to the theater will open, where live footage of the eclipse from the SkyCenter will broadcast. After this, talks will be given every other hour on subjects related to the moon by

Fantasy sports keep fans engaged BY Daniel Geffre The Daily Wildcat
B
aseball can thank fantasy sports for simply existing. When I turned on ESPN the other day, I kept seeing DraftKings ads, which seems to be the new heavyweight among fantasy sport companies. I was ecstatic because we now have another company to choose from when it comes to fantasy football and baseball. Living in a technically driven world, we are always on our phones. Even when people are at games they are on their phones. Attachment to phones and other smart technology is, at this point, unavoidable. What’s great about fantasy sport companies is that, with their apps, they’re able to keep fans interested, and they keep them wanting to follow along, especially when it comes to baseball. Football is fine in terms of attendance and general interest, but baseball needs a lot of help keeping fans from drifting away because of how slow-paced the game can be. Fantasy sports have been running strong for
over 10 years and as a whole have been around longer than that. Football will always be king. It will always be more popular than baseball, basketball and any other sport out there for many reasons. The season is shorter. It’s extremely violent at times, which is simply American, and it’s undeniably fun to watch. I love baseball, but it is harder to enjoy at times because of its slow pace, the length of the season, the predictability of the game and the lack of hype surrounding it. With football come tailgates, and shorter seasons keep the fans wanting more. There’s also the Super Bowl. Super Bowl commercials alone maintain fan interest, even among the otherwise disinterested. That’s why baseball needs fantasy sports. It provides an incentive to keep fans engaged. Fantasy sports defy generational gaps.
“
Everyone can get involved, from children with guidance from their parents to their far more prepared grandparents. What fantasy sports do more than anything else is keep the fans interested and wanting to watch and stay up to speed with the on goings of an entire season. Not only do fans learn player’s names, but they also start to become baseball fans because they really want to win their office pool. It draws in people who may not have been fans prior to watching a single pitch. Naweed Sikora with the Michigan Daily notes that fantasy sports “give you a chance to get excited over meaningless games at meaningless points of the season.” Beyondtheboxscore.com has kept a tally of fan attendance over the years and, except for
The fun thing is that it gives you and your friends a chance to play against one another and bond over something you may not otherwise care about.
the dramatic drop in attendance during the 1994-95 season, attendance has slowly gone up. Fantasy sports has helped keep the fans interested, and it has kept them wanting to be baseball fans, even if their team sucks. Another important factor is that fantasy sports will actually keep fans engaged long after they stop playing. Some play fantasy sports for one year, or 10, or are on and off with it. The fun thing is that it gives you and your friends a chance to play against one another and bond over something you may not otherwise care about. I had a friend who knew nothing about baseball, but he still joined in because a few of my other friends and I were all involved. It brings in new fans, it maintains old ones and, long after one is done playing fantasy sports, the chances of him or her remaining a fan is a lot stronger. One can learn a lot about the sport during their fantasy sport career and become true fans. Sports may not matter to everyone, but with the option of fantasy leagues, fan retention and fan interest have never been better.

Trump comments reflect supporters’ beliefs BY Jacob Winkelman The Daily Wildcat
A
t a campaign event last Thursday, Republican front-runner Donald Trump received a question from a supporter that has since set off a flurry of responses from pundits and politicians. The pseudo-question, which more closely resembled an opinion with a question mark, was the following: “We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. You know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American. Anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question: When can we get rid of them?” Half-way through the above quote, Trump interrupted the man, saying, “We need this question. This is the first question.” The question in and of itself is obviously troubling for a few reasons. First, President Barack Obama is an American Christian, something that he has professed many times, certainly more than any other president has had to do, a position that has been documented extensively by numerous sources. Secondly, and arguably more importantly, is the insidious Islamophobia and dangerous rhetoric implying that all Muslims are terrorists and hate the U.S. What’s generated most of the media coverage surrounding these events, however, was Trump’s response. With matter-of-fact confidence, Trump replied: “We’re going to be looking at a lot of different things. I mean, you know, a lot of

engineering students prepared to take on the world’s most pressing issues. These issues, known as the Grand Challenges for Engineering, are laid out by the National Academy of Engineering. Included in the list are global problems like providing access to clean water, preventing Nuclear Terror, managing the nitrogen cycle and many more. Engineers can solve these problems, but it will take more than just technical ability to do so. For example, a civil engineer looking to provide access to clean water in a developing country needs to understand the society he or she is trying to help. Traditions, religions and societal norms determine
people are saying that, and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there, and we’re going to be looking at that and plenty of other things.” Immediately, numerous media outlets and politicians slammed Trump for both failing to correct the man about President Obama’s religion and nationality and for somewhat agreeing with, or at least pandering to, his supporter’s blatant Islamophobia. Fellow Republican candidates Chris Christie and Jeb Bush both admonished Trump for his response along with former President George W. Bush and Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Trump himself has refused to apologize. However, his aides did clarify that his remarks were about the Muslim training camps and not Muslim people. Soon after, Trump sent out a barrage of tweets explaining that he isn’t morally obligated to defend the president every time someone says something controversial, that Obama
“
wouldn’t defend him if the situation was reversed and the media would’ve accused Trump of suppressing the man’s free speech if he had corrected the inaccuracies. None of these seem like particularly good explanations, but frankly, Trump not correcting the man makes a lot of sense — the majority of Donald Trump’s supporters agree with him. According to a recent poll by Public Policy Polling, 66 percent of Trump’s supporters believe Obama to be Muslim, and 61 percent don’t think he was born in the U.S. This isn’t too far off from the rest of the Republican Party, 54 percent of whom think Obama is Muslim, and only 29 percent of whom believe he was born in the U.S. Correctly pointing out President Obama’s actual religion and nationality could’ve potentially hurt Trump’s polling numbers. In fact, it’s surprising that people are shocked that these kinds of remarks would occur at a Republican, especially a Trump,

whether a particular culture will embrace and implement a potential solution. Deep understanding of a culture is a crucial part of solving the problems it faces. Teamwork is critical in engineering, and global collaboration has become commonplace. The ability to learn and speak other languages would allow teams to overcome language barriers that would inhibit productivity. And yet, students in the UA College of Engineering don’t take foreign language classes and, for the most part, don’t explore coursework beyond the field of engineering. We aren’t required to, and just following the degree program is enough work as it is. So what do we do to fix this? There’s not an easy answer. As much as I would like to see the College
rally. In 2011, Trump revived the birther movement conspiracy theory that alleged President Obama was born in Kenya. Mitt Romney, in 2012, made frequent remarks about the “foreign” ideas of Obama and refused to admonish the parts of his base that questioned his birth certificate. Many of the other Republican candidates running for president continue to deflect and refuse to answer questions on the matter. Since President Obama isn’t running in 2016, it may finally be more palatable for certain Republicans to call out Trump publicly for this ordeal in order to gain some of the praise that Sen. John McCain received in 2008 during a similar situation. But for others, stroking the fear that Obama, and Democrats in general, are an un-American group is all part of the strategy to win over enough votes in the primary. As White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the other day, “You will recall that one Republican congressman told a reporter that he was David Duke without the baggage. That congressman was elected by a majority of his colleagues in the House of Representatives to the third highest-ranking position in the House. Those same members of Congress blocked immigration reform. Those same members of Congress oppose reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act. Those same members of Congress couldn’t support a simple funding bill because they are eager to defend the Confederate flag.” As long as a majority of Republican voters continue to question the citizenship and nationality of the president, these sorts of comments are unlikely to stop.

A few research assignments and some simple online quizzes in one portion of one course aren’t enough to fulfill this commitment. If the UA truly wants to prepare engineering students to tackle the world’s most pressing problems, our College of Engineering needs to take a good look at the education it is providing and ways to avoid losing accreditation while also ensuring students actually learn lessons outside engineering. It takes much more than technical proficiency to change the world, and our curriculum needs to reflect that.

No. 16 Arizona is under the microscope this week and ESPN’s College GameDay is making its way back to the Old Pueblo for the first time since 2009, when the Wildcats had the chance against Oregon to control their own destiny to the Rose Bowl. The last time Arizona hosted College GameDay, the crew left a bad taste in Arizona fans’ mouth when Lee Corso put Oregon’s mascot’s headgear on. Granted, Corso was spot on, considering Arizona completely blew the game to the Ducks 44-41 in overtime. That was Nick Foles’ debut season for Arizona and it’s unimaginable what the result would have been if Rob Gronkowski wasn’t out for the season with a back injury. That was then and this is now, which also means this Arizona squad has something up its sleeve as it prepares for the biggest game of the season. Arizona isn’t playing for a Rose Bowl birth just yet, but the Wildcats are attempting to separate themselves from the rest of the Pac-12 South. With USC and ASU sitting with one loss, this game against the No. 9 Bruins has the anticipation of a Pac-12

Conference championship. With GameDay coming to town and Scooby Wright III anticipated to grease the wheels this weekend returning from a lateral meniscus tear, this couldn’t be a better time for Arizona to shine bright on the national stage. With the show airing at 6 a.m. live on the UA Mall, the background of the school’s most iconic building, Old Main, will reveal to the rest of the country that Arizona is a destination for student athletes. Students are scheduled to check in at 3:30 a.m. Saturday and the disrespectful, yet comical, signs will be a treat to see. This is the best break Arizona has received all season after the team has been plagued with injuries. Wright’s presence will only expose his playmaking ability and demonstrate why he’s the best linebacker in the country. ESPN is biased toward the SEC and it’s understandable considering every time a game in the Pac-12 airs on primetime, the folks on the East Coast are already counting z’s and preparing for NFL Sunday. The Pac-12 doesn’t receive the correct attention since the SEC is consistently on ESPN. Now, Arizona is taking on a top-10 team and even players looking to play at the next level should understand that this is a game that could expose them to scouts. If Wright wants to live up to the hype of being a Heisman hopeful, then a remarkable comeback should be in order. Another player that should get it done for the Wildcats is Nick Wilson. The sophomore has rushed for over 100
IF YOU GO What: GameDay When: 6-9 a.m. Saturday Where: UA Mall Who: ESPN GameDay hosts yards in the previous two games and with next season still available for him, he has the opportunity to prove that he is making Ka’Deem Carey a pleasant memory rather than staying drunk off of Carey’s success. College GameDay is a college football tradition, and this is a great opportunity for not only the team, but the players to show why Arizona is the top college to attend next fall for high school seniors.

Do you know your enemy: UCLA BY Kyle Hansen
The Daily Wildcat
The race for the Pac-12 South title has officially begun, and it starts with a face off of two of the biggest contenders. No. 16 Arizona Wildcats will host No. 9 UCLA on Saturday at 5 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ABC, and ESPN’s College GameDay is visiting Arizona’s campus in preparation for the game. In short, this game is huge. Both teams come into the game at 3-0, having swept their nonconference opponents. Arizona’s most recent game was a 77-13 blowout of NAU. UCLA just edged No. 22 BYU 24-23. “Obviously this is a big game, so everyone is excited,” said Arizona senior safety Anthony Lopez. “It doesn’t change what we are going to do on defense. Every week we come out here to work. It’s never more of a relaxed week, but there is more hype for this game.” The biggest storylines stemming from this game are the injuries to key players. Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright III is listed as questionable with a knee injury he sustained in the Wildcats’ opener. Receivers Cayleb Jones (ankle) and Samajie Grant (knee) are also questionable. Receivers Trey Griffey (foot), Tyrell Johnson (foot) and linebacker Haden Gregory (knee) will also be out of this game for Arizona. UCLA suffered a huge blow Tuesday when its star linebacker, Myles Jack, suffered a torn meniscus, ending his season. Jack is arguably the Bruins’ most valuable player, who was a projected first-round pick in the NFL draft and a consistent nightmare for the Wildcats. Jack’s injury comes after UCLA already lost defensive lineman Eddie Vanderdoes (knee) for the season earlier this year. Cornerback Fabien Moreau (foot) was also lost during the Bruins’ game against BYU. Another big story coming into this game will be UCLA freshman quarterback Josh Rosen. Arizona will be Rosen’s first Pac-12 test. After looking great in his first career start against Virginia, Rosen has come back down to Earth in his last two games. His performance against this Wildcat defense, and vice versa, could be the biggest factor in which team walks away with a victory. “We need to play Arizona football. We need to play disciplined,” said senior safety Jamar Allah. “We need to play fast and start off fast, and

we need to play physical and be focused.” UCLA has beaten Arizona the last three times these teams have met. Arizona’s up-tempo offense will need to continue to play mistake-free football when the Bruins come into town. Quarterback Anu Solomon has not thrown an interception yet this season, and running back Nick Wilson has been on a tear the past two games, rushing for 434 yards and five touchdowns. ASU and USC already suffered early losses, which gives UCLA and Arizona a chance to make a statement in the race for the Pac-12 South title. With College GameDay here and all eyes watching, this game between the Bruins and Wildcats will be a great conference start for both of these schools in what has already been a wild year for the Pac-12.

Golf travels to UNM Arizona men’s golf heads to Albuquerque to face West Coast foes. Play begins Friday morning BY Chris Deak
The Daily Wildcat
Arizona men’s golf continues the beginning of its season this weekend, competing in the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate. The tournament takes place today and Saturday starting at 8 a.m. The tournament is in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is hosted on the University of New Mexico Championship Golf Course. The tournament spans over two days, but the format is still 54 holes with 36 holes scheduled for today. University of Colorado is the only other team from the Pac-12 competing, and the rest of the 16team field is made up of teams from the Mountain West Conference, West Coast Conference and Conference USA. This is the 48th year the Lobos have hosted the event on their championship course, and they are the three-time defending champions of the tournament.
After an eighth-place finish as a team at Saint Mary’s Invitational at Pebble Beach, the Wildcats look for a stronger start to this tournament. Sophomore Jordan Gumberg led the way for the Wildcats with 74-67-74 – 215 (+2), which was good for a ninth-place finish at St. Mary’s Invitational. Gumberg noted the team’s slow start in the first round of St. Mary’s Invitational and hopes it can get off to a faster start this weekend. Senior Kolton Lapa, who finished at St. Mary’s with a 77-78-78 – 230 (+17) to tie for 61st place, is the team’s only upperclassman. A fast start from him this weekend could equal a big weekend for the Wildcats. Sophomore Max Donohue and freshman Tyler Moore helped the Wildcats gain ground on the leaderboard at Pebble Beach two weeks ago. Both Donohue and Moore posted scores of 72 over the weekend and helped the Wildcats climb from the bottom

of the standings. They look to ride their play from the weekend in to Albuquerque. The Wildcats have a very young team that will continue to start freshmen and sophomores throughout the season. Early season tournaments like this weekend in Albuquerque are great building blocks for young players on the team. Gaining momentum is important for the Wildcats and is something the team will try to do
this weekend, beginning with a 36-hole shotgun start. The first round of the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate golf tournament teed off today at 8 a.m., MST.

Can Stoian reset the record books? BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat
Arizona women’s soccer has made significant improvements since Tony Amato took over as head coach in 2013. In the two seasons since, the Wildcats went 20-15-6. While that’s not an outstanding record, it’s worth noting that the team went 7-27-5 in the two years prior. This season, the Wildcats have started with a 6-1-1 record and will enter Pac-12 Conference play with the third-best record in the powerhouse conference. A major reason for the program’s turnaround is the spectacular play of sophomore Gabi Stoian. As the 2014 Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year, a first-team allconference honoree—a title she also earned while at Scottsdale’s Pinnacle High School—Stoian’s quick rise to stardom wasn’t exactly a surprise. Amato knew right away he was getting a high-caliber player who could make a major contribution, but he wasn’t sure exactly what type of contribution it would be. “I knew she was going to be a very good player, but [during] her whole club career she was a central midfield player,” Amato said. “So we kind of had in our head, … ‘If she plays that
role, will it equal a lot of goals or … assists?’ ” As a midfielder, naturally Amato believed that Stoian would be more of a distributor than a scorer, but that all changed shortly after she arrived on campus. “We thought the production would be more assists, and then within two weeks of working with her we thought, ‘She’s such a good finisher, we’re going to need her to play higher up the field.’ And then once that happened, she got her first goal—then we knew that she was going to climb that list pretty quickly,” Amato said. Indeed she has. Stoian scored 13 goals as a freshman, which is the secondhighest single-season amount in program history. That total alone put her at No. 11 on the all-time scoring list. She was also the first Arizona player since 2005 to have a hat trick, and she scored at least two goals in three matches, too. It wasn’t just her scoring that made her special, though. She posted seven assists, which is third on the all-time list for assists in a single season, and her 33-point total for the season was the second-best mark in program history. Stoian dominated in high school and in club soccer, but even she wasn’t sure she would have that level
of success as a freshman. “I really didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know what the records were coming in or anything, but I was just trying to make plays,” she said. “In club [soccer], I was always scoring, and I was hoping I would do the same in freshman year.” Her freshman year put her on track to easily shatter every major career record at Arizona. Entering her sophomore year, she was on pace to score 52 career goals, dish out 28 career assists and rack up 132 career points. Those all-time career records, held by Mallory Miller, are 32, 19 and 83, respectively. Stoian’s prolific freshman season figures hard to match, but her skill level combined with Amato’s offensive scheme should provide her with plenty of opportunities to continue to climb the all-time lists. “He calls it the green zone, and when we’re in the green zone we just want to go at speed and combine,” Stoian said about Amato’s offense. “He encourages us to take shots and take players on, so that helps a lot. We have good forwards up there, and if we work hard together, then I know we’ll get the goals.” The Wildcats have taken a staggering 136 shots and have scored 17 goals through eight games this season. Stoian has taken a team-high

27 of those shots and has five goals and five assists already, proving that her freshman campaign was not an anomaly. She has ascended to fifth on the alltime scoring list with 18 career goals, third on the all-time assists list with 12 career assists, and her 48 points put her fifth on the all-time points list. Considering that Stoian is not even midway through her sophomore year, it seems inevitable that she will be the
all-time leader in several categories and arguably the best player in program history when all is said and done. “It would be amazing,” Stoian said. “We keep building a legacy here, and that’s what I want to do. I want to leave a legacy and put my footprint on the school and in the record book.” — Follow Ryan Kelapire @RKelapireUA

rizona is under the microscope for the first time in the Rich Rodriguez era. There is the argument that the spotlight was on the Wildcats last season during the ASU thriller, but the importance of the game didn’t rise until halftime when it came down to the two rivals to take the Pac-12 South. Even though it’s early in the season, the matchup between Arizona and UCLA tomorrow has the hype and anticipation of a Pac12 South championship. Both the ‘Cats and the Bruins are dealing with injuries that have plagued the team, but no one is more important than Scooby Wright III and UCLA twoway playmaker Myles Jack. Despite Jack being out for the season, Wright is expected to play this week, and that could make the difference in the primetime Pac-12 showdown. With Wright back in the starting
lineup, the Wildcats’ defense will get their ringleader back, and the atmosphere will be night and day. Let’s face it, Arizona’s defense looked out of place during the three games Wright was out. It’s difficult going from an All-American to a walkon freshman calling the shots for defense. Now if defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel can limit Wright’s playing time, then Arizona will have the upper hand in this game, especially since Jack is out of the picture. With ESPN’s College GameDay running through Tucson and the game appearing in a prime-time slot on ABC, it’s the best option for Arizona to allow Wright to play. Wright has the NFL on his mind, and with the theory of the ESPN East Coast bias, this is the best time for Wright to receive exposure to increase his draft stock. Arizona has the opportunity to showcase its ability to compete with the big boys in the country, and if Wright gets action, then it’s a winwin situation for the Wildcats. — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports
UA’s Scooby Wright III is coming off a meniscus injury. Should he play Saturday? Our two football reporters debate.
BY Kyle Hansen
The Daily Wildcat
A
s Arizona prepares to take on UCLA tomorrow night, the biggest question surrounding the game is whether All-American linebacker Scooby Wright III will suit up for the Wildcats. Listed as questionable, Wright’s impact will undoubtedly be huge if he is able to play. This game is huge. The winner will hold a spot at the top of the Pac-12 South and gain a top-10 position in the polls. However, Wright should sit this game out and wait one more week. If Wright plays on Saturday, he will probably not be 100 percent healthy. That being said, head coach Rich Rodriguez and the Wildcats cannot afford to lose their star player again. The Wildcats will take the road next week to Stanford,
which upset USC last week. They will also have tough road games against ASU and the Trojans, as well. Utah will be another tough matchup that comes into Tucson. Arizona needs Wright to be healthy for the rest of the season. He needs to be there for all of the impact games, not just this one. There is always a risk of injury in football, and the Wildcats might know that to be true better than anyone. If Wright is not completely healthy, his chances of re-injury increase. It’s a tough call to make, but Rodriguez and the Wildcats need to have Wright’s long-term future in their plans and keep him off the field for one more week.

Ranked UA soccer hosts No. 21 Washington BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat
After a strong 6-1-1 start to the season, Arizona soccer was ranked No. 25 in the latest NSCAA Coaches Poll. It’s the first time the program has been ranked in the top 25 since 2004. However, non-conference play is now over, and the team will begin its challenging Pac-12 Conference schedule. “I think these first couple of games are going to be really critical for not only the veterans but for the young kids too, in terms of really knowing what they’re up against because this conference is so deep,” said Pac-12 Network’s Ann Schatz. The Wildcats’ first conference game is at home Friday against No. 21 Washington at 4 p.m. Washington comes in with a 7-1-1 record, and the team hasn’t lost since dropping its season opener against Kentucky. “Both clubs come in on some serious rolls,” Schatz said. “I think Washington is a very frisky, hungry and creative club, with an absolute proven goalkeeper in Megan Kufeld.”
On the surface, Washington and Arizona are very similar teams. In nine games, the Huskies have given up just 84 shots and seven goals. Certainly an impressive mark, but the Wildcats have been even better. They’ve allowed only 57 shots and four goals in eight games. “I love [the Wildcats’] defense,” Schatz said. “It’s extremely stingy. The fact that [they] have given up four goals, even with the platooning goalkeeper situation, [is impressive].” Both offenses are potent as well. Washington has taken 144 shots while putting 17 of them in the net. Washington’s Shannon Simon leads the team in goals and assists with five and three respectively. Simon switched positions over the summer, and she has since become the main cog in the Huskies’ offense. “She has just been unbelievable,” Schatz said. “They’re taking her off the flank and putting her more in No. 10 role, so she’s right behind Washington’s target forward. She’s absolutely thriving and she has been one of the real good stories for Washington this year.” Of course, Arizona has a dangerous offense of its own.
ZI YANG LAI/THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE WOMEN’S SOCCER team lines up before its game Sept. 13. The Wildcats lost the game 1-0.
Despite playing one fewer game than the Huskies, Wildcat offense has managed to score 17 goals as well. Gabi Stoian is Arizona’s main scoring threat, as she has five goals and five assists this year, but Schatz mentioned that senior Hayley Estopare and the Wildcats’ ability to share the ball also catches her eye. “[Arizona] spreads it around awfully well. When you look at Hayley Estopare … [she] is a darn good
defender, but can [also] really get in the mix and get numbers forward and has come up with three goals,” Schatz said. “I think that really says a lot about how [Arizona] doesn’t rely on just one or two kids.” While both offenses are capable of creating plenty of shots, Schatz believes that tomorrow’s game will be about which offense can create high-percentage opportunities, or which defense can limit the other’s
shot attempts. “What I’m looking for more than anything else is the shots on goal. I want to see who really extends the keeper,” she said. “It’s one thing to get a good shot, but let’s see who gets the quality shots on goal. That, to me, is what’s really going to be the separator tomorrow.” Schatz also said she will keep her eye on both teams’ defense. “Let’s see what keeper is on top of her game, and conversely let’s see which club contests those defenses with shots on frame,” she said. “I don’t mean shots right at, but I mean, let’s see who can get the keeper to have to dive. I think it’s going to be a really interesting match.” Schatz also predicted that, because of the heat and Arizona’s notoriety for playing well at home, the Wildcats should have the upper hand in this one. “I’d give Arizona a 2-1 win or 1-1 draw in this Friday’s game,” she said.

The HUB delights first-time customer BY Emma Jackson The Daily Wildcat
There are many restaurant options when choosing where to dine in downtown Tucson. I moved to Tucson from Chicago in the middle of August, and as a newcomer I have really enjoyed discovering all the places and restaurants the city has to offer along with its culture, style and food. I decided to eat dinner at the HUB Restaurant and Ice Creamery on Congress Street after asking around for restaurant recommendations. No one had anything bad to say about the HUB, so I thought it would be a good place to go to with a few of my friends. Situated in the heart of downtown Tucson, the HUB is located at 266 E. Congress St. It is open from 11 a.m. to midnight daily and is the perfect American restaurant for a date night or to bring kids. With a patio outside and plenty of seating inside, the HUB did not seem overly crowded at all. The inside has beautiful brick walls, dark wood flooring and a white marble ice cream bar, which gives it an urban feel. I ate dinner at the HUB on a Monday night at around 8 p.m. and it wasn’t busy at all, so no reservation was necessary. The HUB is easy to get to, with the Sun Link Tucson Modern Streetcar route right outside their doors. The restaurant is just a quick ride from the UA. When dining at the HUB, there is no need to worry about parking. With the option of taking the streetcar right to Congress Street or

parking very close to the restaurant, parking is manageable. The parking meters on the street are free after 5 p.m. during the week and all day on weekends. Centro Garage on Congress Street and the Depot Plaza Garage on Fifth Avenue are very close parking options to the HUB. The menu offers a wide variety of American food with numerous appetizers, such as calamari, hummus, wings and cheese curds. The main dish I ordered was the salmon,
which came with spinach, forbidden rice and basil pesto tomato beurre blanc. I am usually very picky with my salmon and rarely order it at restaurants, but I was very pleased with this dish. My favorite meal at home is salmon made by my dad, which is why I’m so picky about it, but this was the best salmon I have ever had at a restaurant. My friends had the classic mac and cheese and the prime dip, which they both said were very good.
The food was fresh and came out warm. My dish gave me the feel of a home-cooked meal, which was much needed at this point in my freshman year of college. The restaurant also has a small ice cream bar inside with 12 flavors available at all times of the year and a variety seasonal flavors and other favorites. It also offers ice cream catering and the option to purchase large quantities of ice cream in a single order. Instead of having ice cream at the restaurant, I chose to get ice cream at the HUB Ice Cream Factory, located just next door to the HUB. The factory is open from noon to 10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and from noon to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The HUB Ice Cream Factory was created because of the high demand of ice cream at the HUB’s main location, and is a great place to go after eating dinner. Although it is a little pricey, the ice cream is definitely worth the money and the calories. They have 300 rotating flavors with 24 available at a time. They also serve sundaes, floats, cookies and more. With friendly staff, a good location downtown, nice bathrooms and a quiet, classy environment, I highly recommend eating at the HUB and would definitely go back. There were not many large, talkative groups of people when I was there—it consisted mostly of small tables on dates—but it is definitely a family friendly place to dine as well. — Follow Emma Jackson @emma_jackson26
Empire Pizza serves up authentic New York BY Paul Barlyn
The Daily Wildcat
Part of the revitalization of Tucson’s historic downtown has been a wide array of new and exciting restaurants cropping up along Congress Street and Broadway Boulevard. Empire Pizza & Pub has been front-running this trend with its small storefront located at Congress Street and Sixth Avenue, directly in front of the Sun Link Tucson Modern Streetcar stop and just down the street from the Ronstadt Transit Center. Empire Pizza and the restaurants and shops around it attract businesspeople, concert-goers, tourists and just about anybody who wanders around downtown Tucson. While the amount of restaurant competition downtown has without a doubt been turned up a notch in recent years, Empire has withstood the test of the time and continues to be a favorite for many Tucsonans. Empire Pizza promises New Yorkstyle food—everything including
its pizza, grinders, salads, sides and even desserts. However, Empire Pizza is absolutely dedicated to serving authentic New York pizza above all else, as indicated by the names of its pies, all of which take after popular NYC destinations: SOHO, Chelsea, Astoria, Mulberry Street and more. Empire makes it clear that the restaurant is doing all it can to bring NYC to Tucson, and succeeds. When a customer first enters Empire Pizza, they should realize that the restaurant even tries to recreate a Brooklyn feel. With large brick walls, bright lights, a glass case featuring all of its pies and desserts and the kitchen located out in the open—directly behind the counter— the restaurant does a fantastic job replicating a true New York pizza joint, all the while making it youthful and modern. There are also tables and chairs located out front so customers can enjoy the weather, as well as a bar located in the back, down a
narrow hallway. The true test of how authentic Empire is, however, is its food. While the pies definitely looked appetizing, grinders are the underdog when it comes to authentic New York fare, so that’s what I ordered—a meatball parmesan grinder and a slice of cheesecake to boot, also a popular New York treat. The speed of the service was average, which was forgivable considering the large number of people crowding the small establishment for the lunch rush. The wait and the hard work of kitchen staff paid off—I was given a delicious grinder. The food at Empire leaves very little to complain about. The portions are reasonable and plentiful, the food is hot and fresh and the meal would leave any customer very satisfied. The grinder consisted of four sizeable meatballs drenched in tomato sauce and parmesan cheese. It was enjoyable down to the last bite. The cheesecake was no different—it

was fresh, tasty, creamy and a perfect way to finish off the huge grinder. It was a very satisfying lunch after a difficult morning of classes, and any student would more than likely find it the same, especially those living downtown. Empire Pizza definitely stands out among the other restaurants that have popped up around downtown.
With friendly service, a welcoming, authentic environment and tasty, satisfying food, it should fit the bill for any hungry Tucsonan seeking out authentic New York fare.

the reel deal

The sequel to the teen dystopian fails to live up to the imaginative story line of the first film. BY alex guyton
The Daily Wildcat
T
here’s a point in “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials” when the ragtag group of teens who escaped the maze in the first film find themselves in a harsh desert. “I never thought I’d say this, but I miss the Glade,” remarks one of the boys, referring to the isolated verdant patch of land in the middle of the labyrinth that served as their home. Well, after seeing “Scorch Trials,” I can believe I’m saying this: I miss the Glade, as well as everything else that made the original young adult dystopian film so fresh. The film picks up immediately after the first. Our hero Thomas (Dylan O’Brien), Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) and the rest of the Gladers who made it out of the maze have been rescued from the clutches of the organization WCKD, pronounced as ‘wicked,’ because calling it ‘EVL’ would have lacked subtlety. Mr. Janson (“Game of Thrones” Aidan Gillen) is the head honcho of the facility they’re taken to, and he assures them that they are now in safe hands. Gillen is generally given some of the best speeches in HBO’s medieval saga “Thrones,” and here he’s saddled with dialogue that’s stilted and flavorless. The good news for him is that he’s not alone; everyone’s lines are like that. It turns out there were multiple mazes, and that Thomas and company weren’t the only ones to successfully get out.
Those placed in the mazes were immune to the Flare virus, a disease that has wiped out humanity by and large. Thomas, after some sleuthing and scurrying around in AC vents, discovers that Janson is working for WCKD, and which is harvesting the Flare-immune blood from the teens. Thomas stages a breakout, and this bland first act, which has almost exactly been Michael Bay’s “The Island,” comes to an end. Out of the confines of the cookie-cutter industrialized facility, they are now on the run from WCKD. They must navigate the Scorch, a large, arid desert, to make their way to the mountains in search of a rebel group. They stumble upon Cranks, another poorly chosen name in this universe. The Cranks are zombies created from the Flare virus, and not, in fact, curmudgeonly inlaws. To its credit, I can’t think of any other YA movie, be it “The Hunger Games” or “Divergent,” that has attempted horror elements. Sure, this is The Walking Dead -lite with zombies that can’t look too gruesome for PG-13, but they still provide a visceral jolt in this otherwise derivate film. The first film had an air of unsettling mystery that permeated it—what lied at the core of the maze—the conceit of teens living in a glade, trying to escape an ever-changing maze, came across like a modern spin on a Grecian myth. Now, we see what’s behind the curtain

in the sequel, and it’s sadly nothing new. There’s your malevolent organization in WCKD, just like the dictatorship of “The Hunger Games.” There’s your rebellion, and your pseudo-love triangle. Worst of all, none of the plot elements seemed cohesive. Everything was linked together in very piecemeal fashion. “The Maze Runner” franchise is just sort of like everything else now, and it doesn’t do even a good job at being that. Toward the end of the film, Thomas
takes a stand. “I’m tired of running,” he says. After “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials,” so am I. I’ll walk, not run, to the theater for the third installment.

CHVRCHES awakens listeners BY alex furrier
The Daily Wildcat
For those in search of the auditory equivalent of caffeine, something to clear the haze and wake up your world, CHVRCHES, the Scottish synth pop trio, is a musical tripleshot espresso. Don’t believe me? Check out their newest album Every Eye Open, out today. Every Eye Open encapsulates the experience that follows pumping up some CHVRCHES jams. This is music meant to be played loud and proud. The album kicks off with “Never Ending Circles,” which can only be properly described as “thumpin’.” The intro of rhythmic synths thump in a circular sound, firing up the engine and turning the wheels of Every Eye Open. Lead singer Lauren Mayberry’s vocals come across crisper and more vibrant than ever; the vocals in “Never Ending Circles” highlight CHVRCHES’ attempt to resurrect the lost art of an excellent bridge. The opener smoothly transitions into “Leave a Trace” without a slip in quality. Every Eye Open nails it as a sophomore LP because it never dips in quality. The sophomore album has long been a difficult beast to conquer. Change the band’s sound too much and people will question why the band tried to fix what wasn’t broken — see: Of Monster and Men’s summer sophomore album Beneath the Skin — Play it too safe and have it comes across as lazy repeat of the debut album — see: Mumford & Sons positively dull second effort Babel. Every Eye Open finds just the right balance. A variation in sound, but not a total paradigm shift, like a plant retaining its roots but blossoming higher than ever. Therein lies CHVRCHES’ sophomore strategy: polish, polish, polish. Every track off the album shines with a greater polish than previous albums. Every hook is streamlined, every lyric cultivated, every track buoyant and elegant. After the success of debut album The Bones of What You Believe, it appears that CHVRCHES returned to their sonic laboratory to distill their essence down into a purer form, and then proceeded to double that dosage for Every Eye Open. As a result, the album begins with the high of “Never Ending Circle,” and each

subsequent track delivers a similar quality. CHVRCHES’ sophomore album possesses a small standard deviation for track quality. Its average song would rate as exceptional, the best as wonderful and the worst as satisfactory. Each track retains the characteristics of the album as a whole: catchy beat, high energy and a surprising bit of punk attitude.
Mayberry’s lyrics have a tint of self-assured nirvana to them. She has no time for regrets and cannot be touched by the negativity or the interference of others. “Make Them Gold” proclaims this attitude: “We will take the best parts of ourselves and make them gold.” “Never Ending Circles” reinforces the idea with Mayberry shouting out, “But I choose to decide that I
don’t regret it!” and the track “Bury It” adds a chorus of “bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above.” Every Eye Open succeeds as CHVRCHES sophomore album. The quality is consistent throughout, with every facet improved. Drums, synths and pop hooks leave listeners unable to resist the urge to dance. Perfectly polished track after track deliver the equivalent of musical
caffeine straight to the bloodstream. No matter how ridiculous Every Eye Open makes you look as you dance alone in your room, the ride is worth the price of admission. Rating:

Desert Vintage a clothing time capsule BY Erika Parra
The Daily Wildcat
Step back into a time when the fashion was classy and elegant. Vintage clothing is a style that keeps evolving into new trends and does not require you to live in the era it comes from to wear it. Desert Vintage, a clothing store on Fourth Avenue, allows customers to explore apparel that derives from the earlier years of fashion but still remains in the modern fashion trends. A customer can find a range of clothes and accessories, including a 1940s mint chiffon gown, a 1920s silk embroidered blouse, an antique tribal necklace and a 1940s Mexican bracelet. The store’s owner, Salima Boufelfel, said the clothes the shop carries are “timeless and quality pieces.” She added that having quality clothing is what she aims for when buying clothes for the shop. “We look for a timeless sense of style. We like clothing that could work on either a man or a woman, so a kind of androgynous clothing,” Boufelfel said. “Quality is a big deal for us. We usually do high-end, quality items, and we don’t do a lot of synthetic fabric. Other than that it’s just what catches our eye and what we’re drawn to.” Her partner in ownership, Roberto Cowan, said although the clothes are vintage and come from a certain time, they still aim to dress the everyday, modern woman. “We like to present things that are very wearable as far as everyday life,” Cowan said. “Every time we present vintage, it’s not totally from the era as far as looking as though you are coming out of a movie set—we like to dress things up for a modern woman, so we do carry gowns and we do carry high-end pieces, but its more classic-chic as far as something from the ’40s that’s going to present itself nowadays and still be very relevant.” Desert Vintage originally opened in the early ’70s, and both Cowan and Boufelfel were given the opportunity to take ownership of the store in 2012. The two were patrons of the store, and Boufelfel explained she also had a relationship with the owner at the time, who knew that they wanted to open up a store of their own. “She approached us and asked us if we would be interested in purchasing the shop,” Boufelfel said. “We thought it was a good opportunity at the time, seeing that’s where interests lied, and we were working in fashion, so it made sense,” Cowan said. “The opportunity presented itself, so we

went for it.” Cowan added it was a “happy accident” to get the offer from the owner. The duo had been planning on opening up a store when they returned to Tucson after living in Paris. Boufelfel and Cowan said they believe what they bring to the avenue is something very special, and even in this modern world, vintage will never be out of style. Boufelfel said that vintage style “naturally appeals to men and women who are into fashion.” She also said that the store has a very classic environment and contains a variety of items, including old Americana and ethnic items. Desert Vintage does not attempt to target a certain audience, just those who love fashion and exploring their personal style. What makes Desert Vintage stand out from the rest is the intimacy of the store and the ability to appreciate each piece of clothing. Cowan said the size of the store allows them to display a smaller collection to their customers, and added that he feels they respond well to the merchandise that is “narrowed down.” Customers can also expect to see new displays of the clothing at the windows and inside the store. Cowan said, because of the

small size of their store, the duo works to make the atmosphere accommodating. He said they work to display items in windows and on walls. Cowan also said they constantly try to showcase new items in hopes of creating a surprise for shoppers on every visit to the store.
“We’re kind of like a museum you can shop in. We love to carry very special things, and I think people who have great imaginations can come in and just think about where that piece of clothing has been,” Cowan said. “We like to carry pieces that you can look at and think,
‘Wow, I wonder where that piece has been.’ ”
