Inside the mascots heads

Daily Wildcat sports editors Jack Cooper and Amit Syal sat down with our beloved mascots and got to know a little more about them and what it means to be a Wildcat.

DAILYWILDCAT.COM

BY JACK COOPER AND AMIT SYAL @jackwcooper23 @ASyal21

Daily Wildcat: What does it mean to you to be Wilbur/Wilma? Wilbur: To me, Wilbur is so much more than athletics. Wilbur is meant to be the epitome of what it means to be a Wildcat. He brings so much more to our campus than crazy cheers at football games. He is meant to put a smile on every person’s face that sees him. Whenever someone sees Wilbur, they should feel proud to be a Wildcat. My job is to bring pride and joy to everyone on campus and never let you forget that you are a Wildcat. Wilma: Being Wilma is absolutely amazing and being able to make college students excited and high-five me as I’m walking around campus is really special. Even being able to be in the Tucson community and make so many people feel the Wildcat spirit means so much to me.

SCHOOL FAIR

DW: What was it like to get hired? Wilbur: There is a tryout process to become Wilbur or Wilma. I was a little hesitant to try out to become Wilbur at first because of the heavy time commitment and the immense pressure that comes with being the face of such an esteemed university. I tried out towards the end of my freshman year and was fortunate to get the position despite a competitive pool of applicants. Wilma: Being hired as Wilma was one of the best days ever. I tried out to be Wilma not expecting much; it was just something that sounded exciting to me, and I knew if I did not try out, I would be disappointed in myself. When I told my parents I was applying, they were confused because that was out of the norm for me, but when I got it, they were super excited for me! Wilma has really impacted me since the day I found out I got to be her.

are also fortunate enough to travel! Some weeks, we get asked for events every day! It is exciting for all the opportunities we are given.

DW: What is the time commitment like? Wilbur: The time commitment is definitely a lot of work. From sporting games to appearances on and off campus, Wilbur is expected to be at a variety of different things. I am also expected to attend workouts three times a week as well as weekly team meetings. I also run the Twitter and Instagram of Wilbur. Wilma: Being Wilma is like a part-time job. We have workouts three times a week along with a weekly meeting to discuss appearances throughout the school year. We can make appointments months in advance and sign up as we are able to do them. Since we are also full-time students, we cannot miss school to do appearances, unless it is with a Dean’s Excuse. Wilma and Wilbur

DW: On top of all of this, are you still a student? Wilbur: Wilbur is definitely expected to be a student first. Even though my job takes up a lot of time, I still have to maintain good grades and attendance in class. As a part of my job, I am required to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA at a minimum to stay eligible. I am also involved in other clubs besides this and school. I have definitely learned a ton about time management and what it means to have a balance of different things. Wilma: Yes! To be Wilma or Wilbur you have to be a full-time student with a certain GPA. If we do not maintain good grades, we can even lose our jobs.

FROM PAGE 1

DW: What are some of the perks of being the mascot? Wilbur: The biggest perk of being

the mascot is definitely the opportunities that come with the job. For example, I have been lucky enough to travel all across the world to places like Hawaii, New York and Peru. We also receive a lot of Nike equipment such as t-shirts, backpacks, shoes and much more. Finally, being at the center of all the action at one of the biggest sporting schools in the nation is definitely not a downside either. Wilma: Pretty much everything about Wilma is a perk! She has given me confidence in myself and made college such a great experience for me. Being able to be a part of the cheer team and make close friends has been amazing. The only disadvantage would have to be not being able to stand in ZonaZoo with my friends as myself, but I also get to walk around the football field and meet so many fans.

memory was getting to be on Fox & Friends in Manhattan because I always enjoy any time I can represent our university in the national spotlight. I also enjoyed travelling to New York and enjoying all that it has to offer. Wilma: My all-time favorite memory was being able to travel to Peru with UA Global. Before being Wilma, I had never traveled on an airplane or been out of the country. Wilma and Wilbur were able to travel to Peru with some deans of different UA colleges to promote the opening of a micro campus in Lima, Peru! DW: Any last message you want to say to all of your fans out there? Wilbur: Bear Down, Go Cats! Wilma: Being Wilma has been life changing and I am so thankful for being chosen to serve as Wilma T. Wildcat.

DW: Favorite memory? Wilbur: My all-time favorite

SPORTS | ARIZONA ATHLETE

Get to know future Arizona Wildcat dual-sport athlete Lauren Ware BY DANIEL PHILIPSBORN @danny_sig

An astonishing accomplishment for Arizona’s athletic program occurred earlier this month, as it landed the highly talented, multi-sport athlete Lauren Ware. Ware is a five-star basketball recruit, No. 22 overall in the country, according to ESPN, and is the No. 50 overall volleyball prospect in the country, according to Prep Volleyball’s Senior Aces. There is something admirable to sports fans when it comes to athletes who not only possess the talent, but the dedication to play and excel at two sports. We’ve seen it with famous names such as Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders and Michael Jordan at the professional stage, but it has even occurred a couple times at the University of Arizona. The most notable of the selective group is Felicity Willis, who competed at basketball and softball from 1996 to 2000 before entering the WNBA. “I know it’s going to be a challenge, but that’s why I chose Arizona,” Ware said. “They have the people and the resources there that is going to make it all possible and a little easier for me.” With high expectations to prosper at both sports, Ware must put the work in, but her skill set is undeniable. The 6-foot5 front court phenom has consistently showcased all-around skills on both ends of the court during her high school basketball career at Century High School in Bismarck, N.D. Primarily playing center, she has proven that she is much more than a post-player who can finish near the basket. She has a signature mid-range fadeaway that is nearly impossible to contest at her height. Not only is she a great shooter, but she has complementary court vision when it comes to finding her open teammates, especially in transition. Additionally, her ability to catch and shoot from long range, attack the basket and run the floor are unique abilities that make her a special player at her position. On the defensive end, she has the size to not only block shots and be a rim protector, but also the mobility to close out on the perimeter. She is one of the

few players in the country that has the versatility to guard any position on the floor at a high level. “Although I knew it had to be her decision with regard to which college was the best overall fit for her, Arizona was number one in my book by far. I couldn’t be more pleased with her decision,” said Ware’s mother on her decision. The combination of these skills and athleticism led her to stuff the stat sheet with 17.3 points, 11.1 rebounds, 4.6 blocks and 2.1 assists per game last season. She not only was named North Dakota Gatorade Player of the Year for the second consecutive season (2018, 2019), but led her team to a perfect 27-0 season and a state championship. Ware is the second-highest recruit in history to commit to UA women’s basketball and is also the first Americanborn player to commit at this point in the 2019 recruiting class, as she will be coming in with highly talented international players Mara Mote, Tara Manumaleuga, Sevval Gul and Birna Benonysdottir. Being the highest volleyball recruit that has committed to Arizona since junior Paige Whipple, Ware is expected to be one of the main building blocks of the program for years to come. Ware’s size and athleticism helps her transition her skills to volleyball in a variety of ways, making her one of the most lethal middle hitters in the country. She has shown the accuracy to spike the ball in open areas on the opposing side of the court, but with her force of velocity, she has been nearly as efficient spiking the ball directly at opponents. Not only is it intimidating having to react to Ware on the defensive end, but offensively it takes a strenuous effort to score when she is at the net. Ware utilizes her height and wingspan to effortlessly deflect balls back onto the other side of the court, forcing opposing teams to strategically avoid hitting the ball in her vicinity or attempting to hit the ball over her, which is a demanding task to say the least. Along with basketball, Ware’s talent and work ethic on the volleyball court all came together during her junior season, as she put on a display from every aspect

of the game during the course of the season. She finished the season with 586 kills, 86 blocks, 187 digs and 48 aces. Ultimately, her team went on to have a 34-5 record, winning its third consecutive state title. This remarkable season earned Ware her third North Dakota Gatorade Player of the Year (first for volleyball). “Besides her skill and size, she makes everyone around her better, especially due to her leadership quality that not a lot of kids her age have.” said Ware’s high school volleyball coach Jamie Zastoupil. “She leads by example and people want to follow her,” It is exciting to anticipate how she will help elevate the play of future teammates, hoping to collectively bring the first ever NCAA Women’s Volleyball National Championship to Tucson within the next few seasons. With Devyn Cross finishing her senior season, it would not be much of a surprise if Ware started right away. As for the current situation with Ware, she will sit out her senior year of high school sports due to an ACL injury that she suffered in her left knee during a

volleyball camp in late July. Although she has suffered a severe injury, according to the Bismarck Tribune, “Ware is pleased with the pace of her rehab.” Typically, it takes 6-9 months to return to full physical activity post-ACL surgery. With this timeline and the current status of Ware’s rehabilitation progress, it is safe to assume that Ware will be fully healthy and prepared for her freshman basketball and volleyball campaign at the UA next year. Given that the basketball and volleyball season overlap in November, it will be interesting to see if Ware holds out on basketball activity until the volleyball season is officially over, or if she will be permitted and choose to participate in both sports’ activities simultaneously. There is a lot to consider when balancing two sports, especially after a severe injury, but if there is an athlete with the talent and fortitude to do so, it is Lauren Ware.

OPINION | ENVIRONMENT

UA’s paper towels contribute to deforestation BY KAYLEIGH COOK @DailyWildcat

ll around the University of Arizona campus, in almost every single bathroom, you will find trash cans overflowing with a sea of half-used paper towels and many of them end up on the floor. Since moving into the dorms, I have seen the paper towel devastation firsthand every day. Aside from them being incredibly messy and gross for the custodial staff, paper towels also environmentally wreak havoc. According to the website, “To make one ton of paper towels, seventeen trees are cut down and 20,000 gallons of water are consumed,” and, also according to the Dr. Greene website, the U.S. creates 3,000 tons of paper towel waste per day. That’s 51,000 trees and 60 million gallons of water per day.

That’s absolutely insane, right? I began thinking of solutions, and my thought process immediately led me to hand dryers. To my surprise, hand dryers aren’t as universally welcomed as I had assumed. I’ve been in bathrooms on campus that have both hand dryers and paper towel dispensers, which does not cease to blow my mind whenever I think about it. According to Chron, on average, 12 packs of 250 paper towels costs $30, and “medium operations can expect 150-200 uses per day,” meaning that you’d probably go through more than one pack of paper towels per day, per restroom. Imagine that on the university’s scale, where even the dorms are using paper towels. According to the same article, the average U.S. cost to run a hand dryer per month is about $14.58. Obviously putting that, again, on a university scale will alter the outcome; however, hand dryers save millions of dollars in production, resources and maintenance, which includes custodial

staff who so kindly deal with the pile of wet germs on the floor and when people flush paper towels down the toilet and cause pipes to back up. Here’s another thing: The burning of the Amazon rainforest got a lot of people’s attention this year, and of course, it is terrifying and awful; however, huge sections of rainforests around the globe are destroyed every year to make paper products such as paper towels, which, as you’ve probably figured out by now, Americans use a lot of. My point is, on top of the cheapness of dryers, the fact that they don’t harm trees and keep bathrooms tidier are very impactful bonuses. I did a bit of quick searching and found the problem: Most people believe that hand dryers are petri dishes of disgusting disease, and that alone should prevent people from using them. However, this idea has been heavily debated. According to UA’s own Charles P. Gerba, a professor of microbiology, environmental sciences and public health, “the hot air [from hand dryers]

will kill the bacteria on the hands, but some studies have found they will also deposit bacteria in the restroom on your hands — i.e., from the air.” If you are petrified about hand dryers getting bacteria on your hands from the existing air, I have some bad news about what humans breathe in. Also, a study conducted by The Mayo Clinic in 2000 showed no notable difference in germs spread by paper towels against hand dryers. I would like to see the UA change its ways and strive toward environmental friendliness. The first step is choosing hand dryers for our bathrooms — the economic, environmental and logically correct choice.

don’t sweat it

While college does not have any sort of official dress code, the gym has an unofficial one. People expect to see running shorts, yoga pants, T-shirts and sneakers. No one would think to wear, say, a ski mask. Except this guy. A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to reports of a strange man wearing an outfit highly unusual for the gym and against the UA Campus Recreation Center’s policies on Sept. 9 at around 11:45 p.m. The officer spoke with the shift manager and the on-duty security monitor who told him that their suspicions were first raised when they noticed a gym patron wearing a ski mask, gloves and jeans. The man used the weight bench and a treadmill while the security monitor kept an eye on him. The monitor suspected that the man entered the building using his finger print and donned his more unusual items of clothing in the locker room before heading into the gym area. The staff were not certain how they should approach the man; however, another gym patron had already alerted UAPD. By the time the security monitor finished explaining the situation, another staff member informed the group that the man was exiting the weight lifting area. The officer walked up to the man, who turned out to be a UA student, and asked to talk. When the officer confronted him, a woman who had been walking with the man told him, “See, I told you,” as she walked away with a group, according to the report. At the officer’s request, the man took off his mask, which he referred to as a “sweat mask,” while they talked. He explained that he wore the mask while working out because it made him sweat more after the officer told him that his choice of clothing was

though trying to create an emotional connection with a police officer probably will not get anyone out of a criminal citation. A UAPD officer was stopped near the corner of Highland Avenue and Sixth Street on Sept. 12 when he spotted a young woman acting strangely at around 12:10 a.m. According to the officer, she was stumbling over her own feet, struggling to stay standing and not remaining within the crosswalk. She reached the doors of Likins Residence Hall and dropped her phone while trying to gain entry to the building using her CatCard. The officer walked over to her and asked if she was alright, as she looked like she had been crying and had dirt on the front of her skirt. The woman said she was fine, but had bloodshot eyes and smelled like alcohol, according to the officer. While trying to gain access to the building, the woman dropped two driver’s licenses, one from California and one from New York. The New York license had a date of birth that would have made the woman 23 years old, but the California license gave a date of birth that put her at 18 years old. The officer asked her to sit on a nearby bench so they could talk. The woman began to cry and asked if she could just go to bed. Paramedics soon arrived to assess the woman’s condition and found that she had not been injured. The woman also called her roommate, who came out of the building and assured the officer that the woman did indeed live in Likins Hall. The officer told the woman that she was not under arrest, but that he did have some questions. The woman told him that her sorority pledge class had attended a party at a fraternity house, though she could not remember which one. She drank alcohol, though she did not know what kind. According to the officer, while the two were talking, the woman kept trying to give him her credit card to “charge it.” When he told her that giving him the card would not change anything, she apologized. She also said that she bought her fake identification

to a reported showdown with some members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on Sept. 13. A UAPD officer arrived at the TDX house at around 1:30 a.m., where he spoke with a TDX house resident. He told the officer that he had been lounging in his bedroom, with his roommate in the living room area, when he left to go check out some voices he heard coming from a different common room area. He found his roommate talking to two men who said they were members of SAE and that they used to live in that room. The men also said they wanted to look around their old room. According to the resident, the two men had let themselves in using a broken door. The resident told them that they were not allowed on the property and asked them to leave. According to the resident, they initially listened and left his room. While he was walking them out to the patio, the men began to shout at him, saying that the building belonged to SAE. He told them that he did not want any trouble and that they should just leave. Other TDX members reportedly began to come out to see what the commotion was. It was then that one of the SAE members reportedly took a swing at the resident, though he missed. The resident told them to leave again. As the crowd began to shout, the men were just past the front doors of the house, when one of the men again reportedly attacked the resident. He grabbed the resident’s face and caused his nose ring to come loose, drawing blood, according to the resident. The officer assessed the resident’s face and reported no obvious injuries. The resident said he did not want to press charges. After several attempts to contact the SAE members, the officer visited the last known address of one of the men. The students who answered the door at that location said that no one living there belonged to SAE.

To Juul or not to Juul Juuling and e-cigarettes have been in the news as of late and two Daily Wildcat columnists share their thoughts when it comes to the ‘alternative nicotine’

It’s time to put the Juul down Banning Juuls not a solution BY JANELLE ASH @janelleashx

n 2019, it would be hard to not know what a Juul is, but until recently, the world did not exactly know how harmful they are for people. The Juul is an e-cigarette created to help smokers quit smoking, due to the fact that a Juul is small and almost looks like a flash drive created underage teenagers and young adults to be drawn to them. According to The National Center for Health Research, Juul makes up 68% of the $2 billion e-cigarette market. They also reported that one Juul pod is the equivalent of smoking one pack of cigarettes. The amount of nicotine that the Juul exposes to people who were never addicted to it in the first place has gotten an entire generation to form a severe and harmful nicotine addiction. Due to the fact that people can use the Juul so discreetly and almost anywhere has gotten people hooked to their sweet and fruity flavors. The government has moved to ban the fruity flavors from being sold in stores, but you can still purchase them online through the Juul website, if you’re over the age of 21. In August and September of 2019, there have been six deaths tied to vaping. “If you or a loved one is vaping, please stop. The recent deaths across our country, combined with hundreds of reported lung injury cases continue to intensify,” said Dr. Lee Norman, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the state health office in a statement after announcing the sixth death in our country relating to vapes. So this is where the questions comes into play ... Is the Juul killing people

and what can students do to quit? Before I came to the University of Arizona, I did not know what a Juul was. I had friends who had them my freshman year, but I always tried to avoid them as much as possible. I did not get the appeal of smoking them and spending a lot of money on Juul pods every week. Then, I bought my first Juul. I quickly became addicted to it and I have been using it ever since. I have tried quitting, throwing out my Juul and Juul pods, but eventually I always go back to it. I know this to be true with other students at the university. The Juul at the UA has become a normal thing to have, so I did not think about the future health issues I will face from smoking it. I think the Juul is extremely harmful and is something that students on campus need to take more seriously. The number of deaths tied to vaping is low, but this is only the beginning of the discovery of what these devices are going to do to my generation. According to the UA Campus Health website, the UA has different programs offering to help students quit their nicotine and tobacco addiction. There are over-the-counter nicotine and tobacco cessations aids, and is available to be purchased without a prescription. If you are a student at the UA and are looking for ways to quit the Juul, I would recommend going into Campus health looking at the resources the campus provides.

— Janelle Ash is a senior that thinks vaping is harming this generation

BY JACK COOPER @jackwcooper23

want to start off this article by saying vaping can be very addictive and isn’t good for you. The only thing meant to go into anyone’s lungs is oxygen. With that, I also wanted to say banning e-cigarettes is not the solution to the youth epidemic of vaping. Banning anything is never the solution to problems that are going on throughout the world. People are still going to find ways to get vaping products even if they are unsafe and dangerous to their health. Lately in the news, there have been reports of people going to the hospital and dying from vaping. The people that have been going to the hospital have been addicted to vaping for a couple years and take hits from it constantly throughout the day. However, it is important to note that several of the cases of people dying due to vaping also had underlying health conditions. Health officials are still trying to figure out what exactly is causing the illnesses to occur, but they think it’s vitamin E acetate. Vaping is supposed to be a new and healthier solution to people trying to quit smoking cigarettes because its products don’t have nearly as many chemicals as traditional cigarettes. The reason people are ending up in the hospital is because of how addictive they can be and because of how much nicotine is in a single pod. Juul, probably the most recognizable vaping brand to-date puts 5% nicotine in a single pod. That’s equivalent to about a pack of cigarettes. Many of the cases of teens being hospitalized for lung damage are due to going through an entire pod every two days, just like Chance Ammirata, who admitted that

in an interview for the Daily Mail. Just for comparison, I know people who I believe to vape a lot and it usually takes them a couple days to go through an entire pod. Another reason why certain people are getting so sick and end up dying is because of cheaper pods online that aren’t made by Juul but look the same and aren’t nearly as healthy. Just by doing a quick Google search, you can find pods online that are half as expensive as the real product. These pods usually have more chemicals and are way worse for your health. Another reason why people are getting so addicted is because of how easily they can be purchased and because of how vaping products market themselves. With flavors that remind people of candy, and the feeling it gives someone, it’s no wonder why so many people are addicted to them, especially teenagers and young adults. Vaping is still relatively new and doctors aren’t going to know what the actual causes of these emergencies are for at least a couple more years. But that doesn’t mean people should keep vaping just for fun. It’s a very serious and dangerous habit that was just meant to help people get away from cigarettes. I still don’t think banning them all together is the right solution. Especially with online shopping and global shipping, people are always going to be able to get what they want even if it is more dangerous. Just look at prohibition in the 1920s for example.

UA rapper “Stitch” making a name for himself BY BRIANNON WILFONG @BriannonWilfong

On the day-to-day, Ethan Lee is a freshman at the University of Arizona, but online he is known by another name — “Stitch,” the songwriter and SoundCloud rapper. Alongside attending classes, Lee also writes rap lyrics and makes beats behind his dorm room door. He has already made a diss track, has over 20 songs produced to his name and one album called “BTB,” for “Back to the Basics,” out on SoundCloud. It began with his brother, Eric Lee. According to Ethan Lee, he began rapping around the seventh grade and was heavily influenced by Eric Lee — a rap artist himself. While Ethan learned to freestyle and write lyrics, Eric Lee included Ethan Lee in his songs every once in a while, Ethan Lee said.Eric Lee encouraged him to study music and listen to different songs to make him a better, more wellrounded rapper, Ethan said. But Ethan Lee didn’t begin to take rapping seriously until he was 15 years old, after he and a friend had messed around with a Snowball mic in the locker room.Ethan Lee’s friend made a beat, they rapped over it and they realized

how good of a song they had created. Following a fallout in a relationship, Ethan Lee made his first diss track and from there, went on to make more music. When Ethan Lee put his music on SoundCloud, he got some following to it and eventually got his own music and recording equipment. Ethan Lee’s biggest influence, he said, has always been his family. “We are all musically gifted and deal with a lot of things that others can relate to, so I like to share our story,” Ethan Lee said. Ethan Lee writes about his family and some of the struggles he faced during his childhood and writing about his surroundings. Some of his songs are personal narratives of his life while others are battle raps, full of disses, clever metaphors and constant punch lines. “What made me take this [rap] seriously was the death of my childhood church friend, like, junior year,” Ethan Lee said. “His family released one last song, ‘You’re Not Alone,’ and though it hurt a lot, I felt like I was writing with him like we did a few times before he moved away. My song ‘Why God?’ is also really personal, because I talk about some of the things I’ve addressed that caused some problems in my life.” Ethan Lee’s other major influences are artists like J. Cole, Joyner Lucas, Eminem and

Kendrick Lamar. His own music has been compared to rap giants like Logic, Hospin and Lamar. “I loved the feeling I got listening to artists like J. Cole,” Ethan Lee said. “The stories he shared made me not feel so alone and I just want to make others feel like that, simple.” Since learning how to produce and make his own beats, Ethan Lee now self-produces and writes all his own material. “I got help to learn how to use the recording program, but everything after that I did myself — besides the diss, I went to a studio for that,” Ethan Lee said. “Writing, though, was 1000% me. Some rappers use ghostwriters, but I feel like that takes something personal from your music. No disrespect to those people, but I feel like rapping other people’s lyrics isn’t what rap was originated for.” Ethan Lee’s process is constant. He is always thinking about rap, he said, quickly jotting ideas down before he forgets clever lyrics. He hears a new song and instantly has to go write. “There’s been countless times where I’ve been up past 2 a.m. writing music or finishing other songs,” Ethan Lee said. This summer, Ethan Lee appeared on “Put You On Notice Podcast” run by Antonio Stewart, aka “Mr. Whatcha Tone,”

at iHeartRadio — an opportunity presented because his brother Eric Lee was interviewed about his own music — and continues to put his work on SoundCloud to get put his name out into the world. “I look for individuals that are doing something positive within themselves, someone that has influenced others or speak on obstacles that they overcome,” Stewart said. “I pretty much just let artists have a platform to showcase some of their music and I feature artists that I think people should check out in the community.” Rapping has pushed Ethan Lee into the music world, as he is now signed by a record label under his older brother called Iconic Entertainment, according to Ethan Lee. “[Ethan Lee] has a creative ear for music, he makes conscience music,” Eric said. “His message is very confident. He will stand boldly and say those things. He delivers it in a way that feels intriguing.” Lee is currently working on new music and constantly trying to build a larger fan base. He is also always on the lookout for new artists to collaborate with. “[We’re] working on an EP for him to release very soon,” Eric said. “We’re in the studio now, so I know he has a project coming.”

Classics debuts Composing Latin Poetry club BY MIKAYLA KABER @KaberMikayla

Latin is certainly not a dead language on the University of Arizona campus, as students of all skill levels are invited to join the new Composing Latin Poetry club. According to Sarah McCallum, an Ancient Greek and modern literature professor in classics who also runs the club, Composing Latin Poetry is for beginning students, advanced students and students in between. By only meeting every two weeks, McCallum hopes to ensure that the club isn’t just another obligation or heavy time commitment. Last spring, after a discussion with some students and the whimsical purchase of “A Guide to Latin: Meter and Verse Composition” by David J. Califf, McCallum found that there was significant interest in trying to tackle Latin exercises and composing Latin poetry. She then applied for grant funding and the club took off. According to McCallum, the club is loosely based on Califf’s book, which includes many activities for students to dabble in composing Latin verse. She also brought books on grammar and verse to the meeting for different experience levels. “I want it to be the kind of thing where, even if you’re having a busy week, even if there’s a lot going on, you can come and have a piece of cake and work collaboratively with students and faculty who have similar interests and not have to worry about preparing in advance,” McCallum said. At the first meeting on Sept. 17, the compact room was packed full of eager students buzzing with chatter and excitement. The counter was lined with refreshments, snacks and even a cake aptly decorated with the Latin phrase, “Vivamus atque scribamus,” which translates to, “Let us live and let us write,” according to McCallum. After cake, the club members introduced themselves and discussed why they chose to spend their Tuesday nights working on Latin poetry.

THE MOST EXPERIENCED LATIN students gather around to translate a poem by J.R.R. Tolkien from English into Latin.

“It’s very creative, it’s very mentally challenging. It’s like putting together a sudoku puzzle or just fitting all these pieces together,” said Elise Larres, a classics graduate student. “It gives you a very great appreciation of the language and what goes into the poetry.” After introductions, everyone grouped up according to experience level. One group focused directly on translating a poem by J. R. R. Tolkien, another group focused on the scrambles in Califf’s text and McCallum led those with the lowest level of experience in a discussion about the basics of meter. “It’s just another way to have social

interaction that’s not incredibly high stakes in terms of academics,” McCallum said. “It’s an opportunity for anyone that’s taking Latin here at the UA — regardless of where they’re at, what year of the program they’re in — to meet people who are in other places and have had other experiences.” There is a difference between simply reading Latin and actually attempting to compose verse and speak it, said Jarrett Kunz, a UA undergraduate with majors in classics, economics and political science. McCallum said composing Latin verse brings about a deep appreciation for what

the ancient Romans would do, because it’s a very complicated process to create something beautiful and meaningful in Latin verse. “When I came to the classics department, we had clubs, but we don’t have as tight knit of a community,” said Marge Stafford, a sophomore studying Russian and classics. “I’m hoping that this club will help foster between different levels of Latin and Greek this sense of camaraderie.” The club meets every two weeks on Tuesdays from 5-6 p.m. in the Learning Services building.

SPORTS | HOWS THE PAC-12

Looking ahead to Arizona football’s conference play Jack Cooper:

After an up-and-down first couple of weeks for Arizona football, they stand above .500 at 2-1. Their schedule won’t get any easier as the Wildcats head into conference play this week against University of California in Los Angeles. The Bruins are 1-3 after a very impressive 67-63 win in Pullman against No. 18 Washington State. UCLA was down 49-17 at one point in the second half and was still able to put up 67 points. There should be no shortage of scoring in this game, but that’s what everyone was expecting when Arizona took on Texas Tech, and that turned into a defensive battle. After that, Arizona will then have to travel to Colorado, where the Buffaloes have been playing some solid football. Laviska Shenault Jr. is Colorado’s doit-all wide receiver who has drawn comparison to Julio Jones, who is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. If Arizona’s new and improved defense is able to slow him down, then that game should be a coin flip where either team could win. Arizona’s next two games against Washington and USC will be tough though since Washington is currently ranked No. 17 and USC should be ranked after they beat No. 10 Utah this past weekend. USC’s starting quarterback, JT Daniels, is out for the rest of the year after knee surgery and their second-string quarterback, Kedon Slovis, got dinged up on the first possession of the game against Utah. Looking ahead, Arizona then travels to Stanford, where the Cardinals have been struggling all year. Then, the Wildcats will travel back down to Tucson where they will have to play Oregon State for its Homecoming game. The Beavers haven’t had much success this year and aren’t expected to cause too much of a problem for Arizona. The last three games to finish the year will be extremely tough. Arizona will have to travel to Oregon, where the Ducks are the top-ranked team in the Pac-12. Utah will then come to Tucson for the Wildcats’ Senior Day and Khalil Tate’s last game at Arizona Stadium. To finish off the regular season, Arizona will have to travel up to Tempe, Ariz., and face off against a team they haven’t beaten since 2016. Arizona State University had an impressive win at

Michigan State and then got ranked, but then lost to Colorado at home. Pac-12 football is very unpredictable, especially when the games take place after dark, so Arizona could win or lose any game. Prediction: 8-4 overall, 6-3 in conference play

Amit Syal:

After going 2-1 in the first three weeks of play, Arizona football has never looked better since Kevin Sumlin took over the reigns last year. However, one important thing not to overlook is the fact that two out of Arizona’s first three games have been under the Arizona Stadium lights with a home crowd of about 40,000 people during each game. Arizona continues their home run this week against UCLA to start conference play. The Bruins have had a rocky start to their season so far, getting their first win last weekend in a 67-63 win against Washington State on the road in a late game rally. Because Arizona is playing a team like UCLA to kick off conference play, combined with the fact that the Wildcats had a bye week this past weekend, they should have no trouble getting their third win of the season and first of conference play. After finishing the three-game homestand, Arizona football will travel to Colorado to face the Buffaloes in its second conference game of the season. Colorado hosts Arizona for its Family Weekend game and is coming off a 34-31 win against ASU. The Buffaloes are 3-1 on the season and their game against Arizona could honestly go either way, given the shakiness of the Wildcats these past couple years. Arizona comes back home to host the Washington Huskies for Family Weekend. The Huskies have had a great start to their season this year and this could potentially be one of Arizona’s toughest games all season. 6-foot-6 quarterback Jacob Eason has led the Huskies to a 3-1 start, only dropping one game 19-20 to University of California, Berkeley in a thunderstormdelayed game earlier on in the season. After facing UCLA, Colorado and Washington, Arizona should be able to go 2-1 in the next three games, bringing them to an overall record of 4-2. Looking ahead, with the last six

games against USC, Stanford, Oregon State, Oregon, Utah and ASU, Arizona needs to snag at least two wins in order to make a bowl game for the first time since 2017. Prediction: 7-5 overall, 5-4 in conference play

Austin Wales:

The Arizona Wildcats (2-1) head into their conference play this weekend against UCLA. The conference play for the Wildcats will be a tough schedule, as they play four teams in the Pac12 who are ranked within the top-25 teams in the nation. Arizona’s first week against UCLA should be a good one; UCLA recently beat Washington State 67-63 in a shootout, as the Bruins came back after being down 32 points. The Wildcats will be fully rested after coming off a bye week and we shall see if the rest will help for the heavy passing we saw from Chip Kelly and the Bruins. Several key games we need to look forward to in conference play for the Wildcats will be the game against Washington, who comes to Tucson, Ariz., on Oct. 12, USC and the game against Oregon on Nov. 16. These three games are going to be crucial to whether or not the Wildcats have

a good chance at making the Pac12 championship. Washington, who brings junior quarterback Jacob Eason, has a multitude of weapons, but the Huskies, who narrowly beat Arizona in 2016 by a score of 35-28, have never been great at playing in the desert, but again, the pass defense for Arizona will be tested. The same goes for their game against Oregon and senior quarterback Justin Herbert. Herbert, who is listed as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft, shows a lot of poise in the pocket and has a very strong arm and decision-making thus far in the season has been superb. Herbert seemed a bit off last year when Arizona beat Oregon 44-15, so revenge seems imminent for the Ducks, especially at Autzen Stadium. USC should be a good test for Arizona, as they need to steal this game since the Trojans don’t have a steady quarterback after losing their first two quarterbacks to injury this season. Playing at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum should be a good early test for the Wildcats; however, if they win, they will set themselves up for success for a potential bowl game. Prediction: 7-5 overall, 5-4 in conference play

New UA Global Center takes shape in the PSU BY LAUREN ROWE @laurenrowe826

The new University of Arizona Global Center, housed in the Park Student Union, began renovations over the summer. When the project is complete, all resources for international students and students interested in going abroad will come together in one place, according to Vice Provost for Global Affairs and Dean of Global Campuses Brent White, who is spearheading the project. “The hope for the Global Center is that it becomes a new place for students and faculty to come together in a hub for global activities,” White said. Previously, resources for international students were scattered all across campus, making it difficult to navigate and remember where services were located, according to White. In the new Global Center, students

will be able to locate UA Passports, the International Faculty and Scholars Offices and Study Abroad. To consolidate all of these services, the non-food spaces, such as the THINK TANK, have been the most affected by these changes so far. Working alongside White is Todd Millay, senior director for the Arizona Student Unions. Millay said there is a desire to introduce authentic, international cuisine to the center’s dining area in the future. Both White and Millay expressed their excitement for the international dining opportunities that will complete the cultural aspects of the Global Center. The dining changes, however, will not take place without input from students. “We would really love the students to come and participate ... answer the surveys when we send them out,” Millay said, “If you live in Coronado [Residence

Hall], if you live in those areas, come talk to us and tell us what that means so we get any change right.” Currently, the PSU houses Bagel Talk, Core+, La Petite Patisserie, Nosh, On Desk Deli 2, The Den and Park Avenue Market. Angelica Santa Cruz, a junior philosophy and Spanish student and employee at The Den, said she is excited to see how the UA Global Center continues to progress. “I wish I knew more about it, but I’m sure as I continue to work at The Den I’ll find out what the Global Center will be like and I’m looking forward to finding out,” Santa Cruz said. The plan to create the new Global Center was first introduced by UA President Robert C. Robbins as a part of the fourth pillar of his Strategic Plan at a meeting of the Arizona Board of Regents in November 2018.

“The UA will become a national model for supporting the needs of international students,” the Strategic Plan reads. “To achieve this, the UA will offer a hightouch, concierge-level of support for international students, addressing the special cultural, academic, social, financial, career, mental health, legal, and other issues that international students face as they integrate into UA’s academic, social, and cultural contexts.” Even with the emphasis on “global,” there is still a goal to maintain the sense of a “union.” The Global Center will continue to be a gathering space on campus that will be comfortable for everyone while utilizing energy and economics to further develop UA Global. “‘Global’ recognizes that we are a university that adapts on a global scale, and this project is our commitment to that,” White said.

A UA STUDENT BIKES toward First Street on Sept. 21. Cyclist rules have UAPD and students in feud.

Cycling rules cause stir BY LAUREN BOOKWALTER @Laurenbookwalt1

Cyclists on campus can receive fines for breaking biking regulations, but students may not be aware of the rules in place. There are many biking regulations on campus, which can be found on the University of Arizona Parking and Transportation Services website. Some of the most valuable rules are yielding to pedestrians, riding on the righthand side where there are bike lanes, using hand signals when turning and stopping at stop signs or red lights. UA biking regulations follow the rules set by the City of Tucson, but many students seem to be unaware of the rules or are choosing not to follow them. Sergeant Sean Shields of UAPD said students often violate biking laws, especially at the beginning of the year; the most violated rule is running stop signs. “We usually stop a lot of those bicyclists that do that just so that we can inform them that they need to follow the same traffic laws as if you were driving a car,” Shields said. “It’s not necessarily that they are doing it on purpose — some of them do, but it’s because a lot of them don’t know that they are supposed to follow those rules.” For the first couple of weeks of the semester, UAPD educates the school about bike safety and all that it entails. According to Shields, UAPD sends out officers to locate students disobeying laws and educate them. While students can be given citations for behaving badly on a bicycle, Shields said UAPD does not give them out very often. Instead, officers give verbal or written warnings to students to inform them of how and why they are violating a biking rule. “We feel that if we were going to write citations or bicycle infractions or even pedestrian infractions, it would have to be pretty severe, meaning if they ran a stop sign

and caused an accident or something like that,” Shields said. “Normally we try to take the approach of more education than anything else. When school progresses, that’s when it could turn into citations.” Joey Iuliano, president of the UA cycling team, disagreed and claims UAPD focuses more on fining students rather than educating them on what they are doing wrong. Iuliano believes that UAPD should focus more on pulling over motorized vehicles. Each year, students are offered a program that teaches bike safety. Students that complete the class can possibly have their citations dismissed if they receive one while on the road. The program is becoming more popular and UAPD are pushing more students to get involved. The program has not stopped pedestrians from getting hit by cyclists. Shields said that there are still many accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists. However, Shields believes that these accidents are more frequent due to the obsession with smartphones. Iuliano disagrees and believes that it is less likely that a cyclist will hit a pedestrian. “Well, I think the risk of someone riding a bike injuring someone while walking is pretty low,” Iuliano said. “You have a bigger risk of a vending machine falling on you than a cyclist running into you. Personally, I think the bigger issue is motorists.” Iuliano said that while there are many cyclists that do not stop at a stop sign, the same goes for people driving their cars. He believes that it’s more common for cars to be violating street laws than cyclists. Iuliano gave the example of motorists pulling into the biking lane when unloading even though there are designated unloading stations. While there may be problems concerning motorists not following street laws, it is always important for students on campus to be aware of bike regulations so they can be safe cyclists on campus.

Wildcats take a stand: why you should pay attention Columnists at the Daily Wildcat share their thoughts on the recent protests and what that means for campus and the student community

@DailyWildcat

e are roughly a month into the semester and three protests have already ensued on our university’s campus, and rightfully so. The most recent one near campus, being the walkout for climate change, emphasized on-campus activism after following the protests regarding the homophobia and racism that had been resurfacing within the University of Arizona’s community. Thankfully, the earlier of the two protests have been met with actual change: the step-down of a homophobic faculty member and a met call for accountability in the wake of another alleged assault. Some would argue that the takeaway from these events should be an increase of tolerance within the community, but others would say that a push for tolerance is the issue. The emphasis on tolerance is problematic because the definition within itself bears a lack of understanding. Although it is important to make space for what you may not understand, it is still your responsibility as a cog in the UA’s machine to try to understand its other parts. Jiddu Krishnamurti said that “... tolerance merely indicates the desire to cling to your own ... limited ideas and prejudices, and allow another to pursue his own. In this tolerance, there is no intelligent diversity, but only a kind of superior indifference. There is utter falsity in this tolerance. You say, ‘You continue in your own way, and I shall continue in mine; but let us be tolerant, brotherly.’ When there is true brotherliness, friendliness, when there is love in your heart, then you will not talk of tolerance.” The takeaway should be a desire for understanding, awareness and support that intertwines communities rather than separates them based on predetermined interest.

ildcat students protesting over the last couple of weeks is meaningful for many reasons, one of them being that it proves students do actually have a say in campus administration and how things can be run moving forward. Dr. Randal Dul’s homophobic comments and the assault on a black student at the university should raise alarms for everyone. These incidents should not be taken lightly and the protests put the people responsible on a hot seat. Whenever a protest happens, you should do more research into the incident that sparked it. After all, we are paying thousands of dollars in tuition. We should all be informed of what is going on, and more importantly, feel safe enough to come to school everyday. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

omen’s March, March on Washington and Stonewall. All of these protests have become monumental to understanding how standing for what you believe in can result in others sitting down and finally listening to you. There is a sort of power behind protests and what they can do to help a community of people become more comfortable in the spaces they exist within. Whether it be about race, religion, ethnicity or gender, all of these forms of identity are homes people belong to and deserve to feel comfortable within. When I first visited the UA, many of the tour guides and administrators kept repeating that the school was going to be my new ‘home away from home,’ and although some events in the past

two weeks have come to challenge that, because of the reaction from the UA family, I believe it is completely true. No matter what college you go to, there will always be people who aim to marginalize others, and this can cause people to feel uncomfortable and hurt, but the only way that trust can be rebuilt is by doing something. By standing up. Maybe by walking a foot or two. How the university reacted to these acts is exactly what makes it a home. The students who made posters, took part in the protests or just verbally showed their support, took a stand. There will always be marches, protests and retaliation against violence, but as a student body, it is our job to make everyone feel safe. To make sure everyone feels at home.

he Arizona Youth Climate Strike was on Friday, Sept. 20, at Presidio Park. The strike consisted of many groups from the UA’s campus, including NextGen America, the Tucson branch of the national activist group that encourages and mobilizes youth to get out and vote, and the Tucson branch of Defend Our Future, a non-profit, non-partisan activist group focused on spreading awareness and creating solutions to climate change. The night before the Arizona Youth Climate Strike, I attended a poster-painting night for the protest, and I had the opportunity to speak to some participants in the demonstration. “I would say the protest means basically securing our future,” said Kyle Kline, one of the Tucson cocoordinators for the Arizona Youth Climate Strike. “I think it encapsulates a lot of youth voices on the issue … I’m passionate about a lot of different issues, and we can work towards better education, eliminating poverty, all of these different types of

goals, but we can’t do anything like that if we don’t have a planet to live on.” I also asked Kline who he was trying to reach through the strike. “I think this strike is the first move to get Tucson as a city involved in the climate movement,” Kline said. “The big goals of the movement are to both get Tucson to declare a climate emergency, and to actually create and enact a climate action plan.” I admire everyone who stood up and took part in this strike, whether they helped organize, made posters, or showed up to support the demonstration, both in Tucson and nationally, because it means that people are becoming aware, and with awareness, change can take place. Getting the attention of our politicians and people in power, but also of average citizens so we may educate and empower them, are essential steps in securing our future.

niversities hold a lot of power, something that is often barely discussed in relation to students. The means of resisting that power are typically minimal and students are left in the midst of an institution no longer representing or protecting them. The Black Student Union recently organized a protest in response to the alleged assault of a black student who was physically and verbally assaulted through racial slurs, according to the police report. Responding with protests and numbers is often the best and most impactful means of reacting

to an instance of violence and injustice. Solidarity is what students have to fight back against universities, who they’ve poured immense resources into and, therefore, a right to determine its operations. But, in light of all the protests, one takeaway is seeing solidarity in action despite the limited means of change available to students in an institution they contribute to. In order to change the university we take part in everyday, these kinds of actions are necessary, especially for students given little voice in shaping it.
