UA aims to diversify its faculty

Spectacle,” said Sarah Gzemski, publicity and publications coordinator at the Poetry Center. “This year, it has expanded. In total, we have eight events focused on poetry and climate change. Most of the poets write about ecopoetics.”

Several of the poetry readings will feature climate talks before the readings itself. Scientists from the UA will speak before the poets about climate change in the world, according to Gzemski.

The UA Provost’s Office and current faculty members are focusing on bringing a more diverse faculty to campus.

“Students need to see people like themselves in positions of academic authority,” said Lynn Nadel, chair of the Faculty Senate and professor of psychology and cognitive science. “There are many reasons but the simple reason for this is that it’s a diverse world and diversity both matters and is a good thing.”

This year’s freshman class of over 10,000 students was reported to be the most diverse ever.

“About 40 percent of our incoming student body is diverse in some way or another,” said Andrew Comrie, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost.

“The faculty is not as diverse as the students and there’s all kinds of reasons for that.”

From 2011 to 2014, the total number of minority students enrolled at UA increased by 2,553, according to the UA diversity statistics and reports. As of 2015, only 28 percent of UA faculty were part of a minority group.

“Diversity is absolutely key because if we don’t have diverse perspectives as we are studying something or trying to figure out what the best answers are,” Comrie said. “We just don’t get the best set of ideas or answers in the room,” There are specific programs set at UA, according to Comrie. One of them being the Strategic Priorities Faculty Initiative, which is a program that provides funding and is aimed at helping the UA compete well for recruiting individuals who can reach diverse audiences.

“This is not one of the areas where you can just snap your fingers and it happens, in every step of the process people have to be aware that this is an important thing to

A COMPOSITE IMAGE OF presidential nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The two candidates will have their first debate on Monday, Sept 26.

Your guide to the first presidential debate

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will share the stage Sept. 26, facing off in the first of three scheduled presidential debates.

The debate will air Monday at 6 p.m. on the major news networks. NBC News’ Lester Holt will moderate the debate.

The Commission on Presidential Debates announced that the debate will consist of six 15-minute sections segments.

The 90 minutes will be filled with a discussion of topics selected by Holt.

The three selected topics are America’s direction, achieving prosperity and securing America.

Each topic will be debated on for two of the 15-minute sections.

The UA College Republicans will be hosting an off-campus debate viewing event in conjunction with the Pima County GOP. The event will begin at 6 p.m. at the Viscount Suites Hotel, according to Sebastian Laguna, president of the UA

College Republicans.

The UA Young Democrats will be hosting a viewing party at 5:30 p.m. just off campus at 1937 E. Silver St., according to UA Young Democrats’ President Allison Childress.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona will be also be hosting a viewing party at the Gallagher Theater in the Student Union Memorial Center from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Laguna said this debate will be a real comparison between two different people who have two very different visions for the country.

“One is doubling down on the past eight years of economic stagnation and the other the one is bringing change and it will be a clarifying moment for people,” Laguna said.

Childress said Clinton, the democrat nominee, will do very well at the debate and that this debate provides her the opportunity to demonstrate how knowledgeable she is on the issues that matter.

Gary Johnson, the presidential

nominee of the Libertarian Party, and Jill Stein, the presidential nominee of the Green Party, will not be able to be judged by students since they will not included in the debate.

To be eligible to participate in a debate, candidates are required to be polling at a minimum of 15 percent in at least five different national polls.

Neither Johnson or Stein met the mark for this first debate.

Matt Lauer drew widespread criticism after moderating a town hall event hosted

by NBC. The hashtag #LaueringTheBar began trending on Twitter with users expressing their frustration over his lines of questioning and lack of follow up questions on important issues.

William Dixon, a professor in the School of Government and Public Policy, said the example of Lauer will not be lost on Holt.

Laguna noted Holt, who is a registered republican in the state of New York, has already drawn criticism from the Trump campaign.

Both Laguna and Childress said they

expect him to remain fair and pursue both candidates on the important issues.

The race is tightening and the significance of the debate remains unclear, according to Dixon.

He said Clinton is a very good debater and Trump is so ad-lib and off-the-cuff, it’s hard to know how the debate will go.

Dixon said after every debate, the political party touts its candidate’s performance, and If independent analysts agree on a winner or are divided, that provides added insight into the significance of the debate.

Childress said she believes the general winner of the debate should be determined by each individual voter.

Laguna said it is important for everyone to watch and listen to this debate to consider which candidate is most in tune with the American people’s concerns.

Laguna said every vote counts and UA students should vote regardless of how they feel about the debate results or the presidential candidates so that their voices are heard.

Arizona Student Unions explain why there’s only one gluten-free option on campus

BY JESSICA SURIANO @suriano_jessica

Having gluten-free dining options is more than just a want for some students, it’s a need.

“Core+ is the one dedicated glutenfree restaurant with ingredients that also do not contain peanuts, tree nuts or shellfish,” said Marites John, interim assistant director of the Student Unions.

Core+ can guarantee that gluten-free food will not get cross-contaminated, but other vendors on campus cannot say the same.

While On Deck Deli does have gluten-free options, John said the university purchases those items prepackaged from outside vendors to minimize cross-contamination.

Gluten is a mixture of proteins that form the structure of various cereal grains, and can be found in wheat, barley, rye and any items that contain byproducts of those three grains as well.

There are different conditions that are affected by gluten, according to Micah Donovan, a nutritional sciences graduate student. The primary is celiac disease, which is caused by genetics and will result in an autoimmune reaction due to the peptides from gluten. There is also a condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, where the person will still experience discomfort in the gastrointestinal system.

Brianna Barnhart is a performance junior who has a severe gluten allergy.

If ingested, gluten in any form can make Barnhart sick for up to three days or more.

Barnhart said she lived in the dorms her freshman year and stuck to three select places to eat: Core+, On Deck Deli and Chipotle Mexican Grill.

“It got very boring very quickly,” Barnhart said.

Barnhart believes restaurants on campus do not make themselves more accessible to gluten-free students mainly because it may cause the restaurants more inconvenience, but there are simple changes that would be appreciated.

Barnhart said places in the Arizona Student Unions could add one or two gluten-free options and have a small, separate counter to prepare food on to avoid cross-contamination.

According to John, the UA is one of 38 schools that has a partnership with the Healthy America Foundation for the Healthier Campus Initiative.

She said this pertnership requires the UA to meet 23 different nutritional requirements over a three-year time span.

John also said the UA is one of 12 universities selected to participate in a national food allergen research and

CORE+ LOCATED IN THE Park Student Union on Sept. 19. The restaurant is the only dedicated gluten-free option offered on campus.

educational pilot program.

“Most of our food venues on campus are self-concept and self-created, meaning the executive and culinary teams created those,” John said.

According to John, these concepts for non-franchise vendors on campus are created based on survey and assessment data of customers, which is mainly students along with some faculty and staff.

She said the franchise brands must all go through a competitive request for proposal process in order to be a vendor on the UA campus. This bidding process is open to the free market, so any vendor is allowed to participate in the RFP process.

Drafting an RFP can take from one to three months, depending on how complex it is and how many university partners need to review it, according to John.

“Finances is always part of it, but they have to contribute to student support and agree to employ students and offer a certain menu mix,” John said. “So there’s lots of different evaluation criteria, not just financial.”

For every RFP franchise process, there is an evaluation committee whose members rank which vendors they believe are best for campus, according to John.

She said the committee contains at least seven people on average and includes members of different stakeholder groups that have been invited to join, such as the current Associated Students of the University of Arizona president, a graduate student representative, Arizona Student Unions representatives and division representatives.

“Within Core+, it is a self-contained restaurant so it has its own grill and everything goes through there,” John said. “Versus a lot of our other units like downstairs in the food court, everything is made from the production kitchen in the lower level of the unions and then brought upstairs to the different units.”

The reason it is so difficult to regulate cross-contamination of gluten-free foods is that they can only designate something as a gluten-free vendor if they can really control it, which, according to John, they can do with Core+.

If students ever want to express to the Arizona Student Unions administration that it wants a change of vendors, the vendor it suggests or ask for would have to compete alongside all the other vendors competing in the RFP process to gain a spot on campus, according to John.

She also said this is why it may be harder for smaller or more locally-based vendors to outcompete a franchise.

Some of the bigger franchises have initial contracts of five years with the university, and then an option to renew those contracts for another five years, according to John.

The Arizona Student Unions website for UA has a section called “Tell Us how we’re doing!” where students can submit any questions, comments or concerns they may have about the unions or the dining options available.

“We are always open to feedback,” John said. “We want to hear what you guys want as students and what the university community wants.”

POLICE BEAT

The wild West Two University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to Fourth Street and Park Avenue on Sept. 19 in reference to a fight between a driver and a pedestrian in the middle of the street.

The UA student told UAPD officers that as he was crossing the street, on the sidewalk, a pickup truck crossed the yellow double lines in the road, did not slow down and was aiming right for him, according to police.

The student said he had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit and then proceeded to confront the driver by saying, “What’s your problem?” The driver replied, “If I wanted to hit you I would and you would not be standing there.”

The student told police he challenged the pickup truck driver to a fight to solve the issue. The student, who said he was in the Marine Corps and had been in two tours in Afghanistan, told the driver he was a “warrior” and would not back down from a fight.

According to police, the driver then lifted his shirt and revealed a black semi-auto handgun in his waistband to the student. The student yelled, “Shoot me. Shoot Me.” The student told police that when his friend showed up, they both walked away from the pickup truck and the driver left the scene. The officers notified UAPD that a man in a truck was armed with a handgun.

After UAPD officers spoke to witnesses, the student filled out a voluntary statement form and said he did not wish to press charges.

Pop, lock and drop it A UAPD officer responded to Coronado Residence Hall in reference to a student who had heard popping noises from down the hall and felt unsafe on Sept. 19.

The female student said she heard a popping noise from down the hall and feared it was an air gun. The student told police she had spoken with her roommate and suite mate, expressing she had been having issues with a resident down the hall which added to her fear of the popping noise.

Shortly after, UAPD made contact with another student who was popping a series of large packing bubbles, resulting in the reported noise.

When the UAPD officer asked why the student felt so unsafe and had been having issues with her hall mate the student said she would hear the other girl yell profanities from her room, referencing the student.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships A physician in the time of Charles II is said to have designed a contraceptive device to prevent the king from spawning more illegitimate children. The doctor’s name? The Earl of Condom.

How many forms of contraception have been used to date?

Defined as the “intentional prevention of conception or impregnation through the use of various devices, agents, drugs, sexual practices, or surgical procedures,” contraception is as old as sex itself.

And while there is no good estimate on the number of contraceptive forms ever used, most can be categorized under the methods mentioned above.

Today, science has given us many options that are both safe and highly effective, when used properly. But as you might expect, earlier contraceptives weren’t always so reliable, let alone appealing.

Four thousand years ago, Egyptians made pessaries (vaginal suppositories) out of elephant or crocodile dung to prevent conception. The alkaline nature of these mixtures is believed to have had some effect in killing or blocking sperm. At about the same time in China, women drank mercury, an early, albeit dangerous, form of oral contraception.

In ancient Rome, pouches filled with a cat’s liver were tied around a woman’s left foot during sex to avoid pregnancy.

And in cultures who had strong beliefs about the moon’s role in fertilizing crops, women would sleep away from the light

of the moon, lest they become impregnated by moonbeams. 1 Other methods, by contrast, became the forerunners of effective birth control that we use today. Sea sponges and vinegar or lemon juice were paired in the Mediterranean – an early predecessor of the sponge and spermicide combination.

Condoms made of hide, intestine or linen have also been around for a very long time as well.

In fact, some of the oldest forms of birth control seem to be the most timeless, including coitus interruptus (the withdrawal method), breastfeeding (since nursing moms are somewhat less likely to conceive shortly after childbirth) and abstinence, the surest method of all.

For more information on finding the best alternative for you, search for “contraception” at health.arizona.edu.

A range of birth control options are available at the Campus Health Service Pharmacy; stop in for over-the-counter products or call (520) 621-9202 to schedule an appointment.

SCIENCE

CAPS is here to help stressed-out students

BY HANNAH DAHL @DailyWildcat

A survey of 19,861 college students by the American College Health Association in the fall of 2015 found that 18 percent of students had experienced overwhelming anxiety within the past 2 weeks, while 20 percent had been diagnosed with depression.

While it’s true that college might not exactly be a mental vacation, it shouldn’t be a psychological minefield.

“Entering freshmen these days carry more problems with them than entering freshman five years ago,” said Philip Gibeau Ph.D., a clinical psychologist who has worked at Campus Counseling and Psych Services for nine years.

“There’s much more stress in the world and our students are showing it as they come in for their freshman year in the first semester.”

Stressors include completing coursework, being away from home, earning enough money to pay rent and trying to fit in. Many freshmen are thrown into a variety of social situations and academic settings unlike anything they’ve experienced before. This stress, coupled with anxiety and loneliness, can lead to an emotional build-up and eventually a breakdown.

How do you know if what you’re feeling is more than what the average student goes through? If you’re falling behind in classes or unable to cope with your stress load, then it may be a good idea to get yourself checked out at CAPS. “One of the nice things about CAPS is that we provide that checking,” Gibeau said. “We can let people know if what they’re going through is pretty routine and we can offer some suggestions for how to make it better. The earlier they come in, the more likely it is that the problems they carry are going to be solvable.”

DIVERSE FACULTY FROM PAGE 1

do,” Nadel said. “It’s a multi-layer problem that has to be attacked in just about every level just like most important things in life.”

There are other specific programs to encourage the diversification of hiring pools.

Doing that is half the battle according to Jesús Treviño, senior diversity officer and vice provost for inclusive excellence.

Comrie said the program is aimed toward having hiring committees that understand elements of good diversity and inclusion practice, offering training workshops to ensure that understanding.

Because faculty members are the ones dealing and interacting

Gibeau also said that the number one cause of suicidal thoughts is the inability to cope with the challenges you are facing. This belief, coupled with hopelessness about the future, can lead to suicidal idealization or worse.

There are a large number of resources available to students struggling with anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts.

“If they live on campus and feel like they need intervention, then they should talk to their RAs about how they’re feeling,” said Rosanna Curti, a member of the assistant dean of students overseeing student assistance and accountability. “The RAs are trained to notify the police and then the police can do a safety assessment and help them determine if they need to bring in a group from the campus community or go to the hospital.”

For students living off campus, CAPS offers a non-judgmental place for students to get professional counseling assistance. The dean’s office is another valuable resource in providing aid to students, offering a “Dog Days with the Dean” dog therapy session every other Wednesday at 11 a.m. in room 100 of the Nugent building.

Mental illness is just like any other illness—if addressed in time, it can be treated successfully.

Start by asking yourself questions like, ‘What do I need to do to prepare myself for this,’ and ‘Where are these feelings coming from,’ and ‘What will be the best way to combat this?’

With that in mind, here are some tips from CAPS to help you steer clear of the “mental flu”this semester.

1. Develop good time management skills.

Bonus points if you can schedule in some time for yourself. Efficient time management doesn’t just help you get your homework done on time, it can also greatly reduce your stress load.

2. Reach out. Oftentimes when someone feels

with the students, Comrie said they need to be able to connect with the different communities on campus and in order to do that the UA needs to be made up of those different communities.

“Research shows that diverse learning communities come up with more innovative solutions to problems, it’s a vital part to a learning community,” said Thomas Miller, professor of English and vice provost for faculty affairs.

Miller said he feels there needs to be more recruiting and supporting of students and faculty from diverse backgrounds.

“We are like the rest of the country and higher education we are going through a demographic transition, the state is gonna move to a minority— majority population in 10 years, some estimates leave it as quick

Students are encouraged to drop by CAPS and make an appointment if they feel their stress is getting out of control.

depressed or alone, they tend to withdraw. This can lead to a dangerous spiral of self-pity and emotional build-up.

“Talk to a friend about how you feel,” Curti said. “It’s important to have a person that [you] can talk to and feel comfortable talking to, whether it’s a friend or a counselor.”

3. Get a healthy amount of exercise. Exercise creates endorphins, or ‘feel-good’ hormones in your brain, instantly improving your mood.

It can also help you process all those emotions you’re feeling. With the Student Recreation Center right around the corner, there’s no

as seven years—that’s not very long for a university to adapt to changes.” Miller said.

Treviño said the main goal for this mission is to prepare students to lead in a diverse world.

According to Treviño, job descriptions and advertisements for positions at the university are being worked on so potential applicants understand diversity is something valued and prioritized.

“My hope is that we will be able to culturally transform a university that practices and accepts diversity as the way of life,” Treviño said. “One of the things I find really refreshing is that there is a lot of willingness to change, there is a pretty wide and universal agreement from the university that they want to diversify.”

reason why you shouldn’t take advantage of this great resource.

4. Try to get a decent amount of sleep. College may be the nemesis of a good night’s sleep, but clocking less than 6-7 hours of sleep each night wreaks havoc on your emotional well-being.

5. Look out for others who may be struggling.

While it’s important to be aware of your needs and take care of yourself, it’s equally important to look out for others who could use a friend.

Plus, helping others with their struggles helps you get outside of your own head and can provide a much needed shift in perspective.

in the World Championships.

If that doesn’t legitimize eSports, then the fact that mainstream media is beginning to cover eSports may prove skeptics wrong.

ESPN has a dedicated page in its website for “League of Legends” and other eSports such as DOTA 2 and Hearthstone. The viewership for “League of Legends” isn’t laughable, neither.

During the 2015 World Championship final, 36 million people tuned in to witness the Korean powerhouse, SK Telecom T1, take the

Summoner’s Cup. In comparison, 17.2 million people viewed the final game of the MLB World Series in 2015.

Even influential figures from traditional sports, such as Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and Shaquille O’Neal, a four-time NBA champion, have begun to invest in eSports, having seen its potential to grow even bigger as an industry.

With the sixth World Championship on its way, it’s exciting to see where eSports and “League of Legends” will go in the future.

New USS Arizona memorial is redundant

BY RHIANNON BAUER @rhiannon_bauer

T

he UA will soon be home to another memorial to the USS Arizona, a Pennsylvania-class battleship that was sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor, resulting in the United States’ involvement in World War II. Building a memorial is always admirable, but some people around campus are starting to question the wisdom of building another memorial to the USS Arizona.

Don’t get me wrong—it is important to memorialize events in history, especially Dec. 7, 1941.

The United States lost 2,335 of our bravest sailors and Marines on that day.

A thousand families and thousands more friends felt the impact of the attack as they lost a loved one.

The attack on Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the USS Arizona are not events that should ever be forgotten.

In fact, the Student Union Memorial Center was designed to resemble the fallen battleship.

A bell from the USS Arizona is housed in the clock tower at the union, and the bottom floor near the textbook return windows is covered in quotes memorializing those sailors who lost their lives. The student union is a tremendous tribute and memorial to the sinking of the USS Arizona.

This new memorial is different in that it will incorporate, emblazoned on bronze medallions, the names of those who were killed while serving on the ship during the Peral Harbor attack.

I think these medallions could be added to the student union and have a far

greater impact on the student population.

Anyone walking through the student union should know that it’s a memorial to the USS Arizona, but as it stands now, this fact is easy to miss.

The student union’s tributes to the events of the tragedy are mostly out of sight and easy to ignore for the tired and over caffeinated student body.

By adding such a powerful component to the student union, it would become a much more obvious and meaningful memorial.

We should do more with the memorials we have.

The student union should do more to educate the students about the impact of the sinking of the USS Arizona and what it means to us today.

Building it on the UA Mall is a misplaced effort at catching the attention of the student body and has actually drawn some of their ire because recreation space has been taken away by the project.

The UA is not financially supporting the project—all the funding is coming from citizen donations.

While I cannot police people for what they spend their money on, it seems like we could be more focused on what projects the UA collects donations for— especially when climbing school fees and tuition are leaving a greater financial burden on students every year.

It is hard to be against the project. It will be built regardless of these criticisms, and I still think it important to honor the heros involved.

But, for future projects, we should do more critical thinking as a community about how we memorialize events similar to the sinking of the USS Arizona.

The UA community understands how important the events of Dec. 7, 1941, are and how they shaped America.

But it would be more impactful and financially sound to work with the memorials we have already.

Pharmaceutical companies should excuse themselves from weed legalization debates

BY ANNETTA NIT @annetta_nit

I

NSYS Therapeutics, Inc., a pharmaceutical company based in Arizona, made a $500,000 donation to Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy on Aug. 31.

This made the pharmaceutical company the single largest donor to ARDP, a group which aims to keep marijuana from being legalized in Arizona via Proposition 205.

INSYS told The Arizona Republic they donated to ARDP’s cause “because [Prop 205] fails to protect the safety of Arizona’s citizens, especially its children.”

With the things INSYS has been caught doing, I can’t help but think how hilariously ironic this development is.

INSYS is a company that sells the opiate drug fentanyl.

What is fentanyl? It’s an incredibly potent opioid used as an anesthetic for suppressing severe pain after surgery.

While it is similar to morphine, it’s at least 50-100 times stronger and more deadly, making it one of the most dangerous opiate drugs on the market.

There is an unusually high risk of addiction and dependence for patients using fentanyl.

INSYS’ main product is an under-thetongue spray called SUBSYS fentanyl, and it’s

either criminal or professional misconduct by currently subject to investigation regarding prescribing these drugs. its sale and marketing tactics by federal and INSYS’ attempt to keep marijuana from state attorneys in California, Massachusetts, becoming legal in Arizona seems to be Connecticut, Illinois and Arizona, based off conveying a facade of integrity, as the their Form 10-Q paperwork. company presented it to the Republic.

During the investigation, it was revealed Last year, INSYS submitted an NDA, that INSYS had been paying several doctors or new drug application, for an orally and other medical professionals to illegally prescribe SUBSYS. administered formulation of a Those who were synthetic version of the frequently prescribing cannabinoid THC SUBSYS were dronabinol in the getting paid over form of a spray $870,000 in called Syndros. “speaking fees” This product was from 2013 to approved on July 5.

INSYS Before INSYS rewarded $10 million to over sent in the NDA 3,000 doctors for Syndros, nationwide it had another in the form cannabinoid of speaking product, the original form of engagements that dronabinol, which they endorsed SUBSYS. Earlier investigations called Marinol. They sold showed this wasn’t the it in the form of gel capsules.

The Knowing that it created these products complaint stated that INSYS was using its makes you wonder if INSYS is actually against speaker program to “induce” or “reward” marijuana at all, right? prescription writing by doctors.

It’s pretty obvious at this point that it’s Now these prescribers are facing charges of

not saying “no” to marijuana for the sake of morality.

It’s for the sake of its profits.

The company has even admitted it. It simply didn’t want to deal with competition from marijuana as it was developing Syndros, according to investor filings that were investigated by The Intercept.

A disclosure statement by INSYS with the Security and Exchange Commission stated this: “Legalization of marijuana or nonsynthetic cannabinoids in the United States could significantly limit the commercial success of any dronabinol product candidate. … If marijuana or non-synthetic cannabinoids were legalized in the United States, the market for dronabinol product sales would likely be significantly reduced and our ability to generate revenue and our business prospects would be materially adversely affected.”

INSYS acknowledged the studies that prove natural cannabis would be a better alternative to its synthetic dronabinol.

Knowing that a company such as INSYS donated $500,000 to keep marijuana from being legalized in Arizona is laughable, since it not only created a product with one of the most deadly opioids out there, but also used synthetic versions of cannabis in its products.

It’s a brief reminder that the companies which claim to help us can also be the companies that want to exploit us without regard to our health.

Lovin’ Spoonfuls: Helping UA get ‘Vegucated’

BY CHLOE RAISSEN @chloeraissen

As a child, Sunny Anne Holliday had a fascination with food.

Holliday and her brother spent countless hours conducting various food-related experiments in the family’s kitchen.

This love for cooking and science inspired Holliday to adventure into a field that would change her career path and world view.

Destined to start a career in chemical engineering, Holliday traveled across the country for the job opportunity of a lifetime.

While she lived in Southern California, Holliday frequently attended services at a Unitarian church every week.

She listened to a particular sermon in summer 1989 about animal cruelty that changed Holliday’s perception of food, and thusly her life, forever.

As a former “hardcore carnivore,” Holliday went cold “tofur ky” and was quick to see changes with her weight.

By using animal-free ingredients, Holliday restructured her favorite recipes and transformed them into vegan masterpieces.

After a 13-year career with Mobil, Holliday decided to hit the books and get back to her roots by pursuing a doctorate in chemistry at the UA. Realizing that her degree wouldn’t allow her to stay in her beloved field, Holliday decided to take matters into her own hands and create a job that she could thrive in.

Around her 50th birthday, Holliday decided to open a restaurant compiled with recipes from the past 16 years of her vegan lifestyle.

That restaurant was one of Tucson’s betterknown vegan eateries—Lovin’ Spoonfuls.

The U.S. agriculture industry is the main reason Holliday keeps her restaurant entirely plant-based.

“The abuse in farmed-animal industries is quite severe,” Holliday said.

“This includes not just for cattle and pigs, but for egg-laying chickens, broiler chickens, cows in the dairy industry— which is also the industry farming the intensely confined veal calves.”

Most references to animal cruelty among cattle-raising is often missing a valid portion of information, according to Holliday.

“Dairy products and eggs have been linked to a number of serious, degenerative diseases,” Holliday said.

Catering to all dietary restrictions and allergies, Lovin’ Spoonfuls offers an assortment of breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes.

Holliday said college students, who

often look to be healthier and more environmentally friendly, might enjoy the vegan lifestyle her restaurant accommodates.

“College is such a great time to go vegan,” Holliday said. “You’re out from under your parent’s thumb, so you are free to make your own decisions.”

There are many films available online through Netflix that Holliday recommends for aspiring vegans. “‘Vegucated’ is streaming free on Netflix, and is geared toward college age [people],” Holliday said. “It covers all of the issues—ethics, health, environment, and is very well done.”

Holliday recommends keeping a vegan snack in your backpack in case you are stranded on campus without any readily available options.

Students can purchase Vegan cookbooks and lifestyle books are now sold at the UA Bookstore.

Get out, de-stress, see the Dogs of UA

BY TAYLOR BRESTEL @TaylorBrestel

Do your tests have you stressed?

Are group projects ruining your life?

If so, take some time out of your day and go for a walk around campus.

You never know what kinds of dogs you’ll find. Be sure to remember dog etiquette, though, and always ask the owners before you pet their dogs—some are working service dogs who have very important jobs to do.

Fall may have officially arrived, but it doesn’t quite feel that way here in Tucson. Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back, but temperatures are still north of 90 degrees. The dogs of the UA mostly walk around campus during the evenings now, when the weather is cooler and more dog-friendly.

Zoe the Labradoodle recently took a run with her owner, Scott Saleska, and his daughter on the UA campus. Saleska is a professor in the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UA. Zoe is a rescue dog from Arizona Poodle Rescue, so her exact age is

unknown. Her owners think she is around 11 or 12-years-old, about the same age as Saleska’s daughter.

Zoe was very well-behaved, never wandering away during the interview. She is also very soft and had just gotten a haircut.

“She’s great with kids and other dogs,” Saleska said. “Just a great dog all around, except for picking food off the table.”

Zoe’s favorite toys are tennis

balls—she loves to chase them.

“Zoe’s a laid-back, easygoing dog,” Saleska said. “She’s basically a big sweetie.”

Tarzan, a 2-year-old miniature poodle, also lights up the night—literally.

He wears a light on his collar so he’s visible in the dark when he walks around campus. His owner, Nathan Eyde, a public health graduate student, said he bought

the light so he doesn’t lose him.

A color-changing light is hard to miss, even on a tiny dog.

Tarzan loves to go for walks, and his favorite place to go is the UA. “He really enjoys walking on campus, that’s probably his favorite thing,” Eyde said.

Eyde has always had large dogs in the past, but he said he’s having a good experience with his first small dog, especially since Tarzan

loves to cuddle.

“They can actually cuddle with you and sleep in your bed,” Eyde said.

Car rides are a fun time for many dogs, including Tarzan.

He loves sticking his head out the window while riding around town.

Eyde said Tarzan will even climb onto someone’s lap so he can stick his head out the window farther.

“I really like his relaxed personality,” Eyde said.

CLIMATE CHANGE FROM PAGE 1

These scientists include Diana Liverman, who co-directs the Institute of the Environment at the UA and works as regents professor of Geography and Development; Gregg Garfin, an associate professor in climate, natural resources and policy in the School of Natural Resources; and Karletta Chief, an assistant professor and extension specialist in the Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Sciences.

Climate change is something that actively affects the world, and the Poetry Center hopes to educate the UA community by exploring its issues through a poetic lens.

“This world is not just a collection of lone individuals,” said creative writing senior Chris Hatley.

“We impact one another. Poetry readings about climate change give an opportunity to work together for something that benefits everyone.”

The concept of inspiring change in the environment through poetry adds to what makes the Poetry Center so special.

When paired with science, poetry has the opportunity to help the environment.

“Writing has the power to influence people and inspire change—be it a persuasive speech, a creative piece, an information pamphlet or even a social media post,” said Kiva Strand, a creative writing junior.

Strand believes that the environment is nature’s art.

“Writers rely heavily on our environment and surroundings,” Strand said. “Protecting our environment should be a focus for most communities. Perhaps the poet will shine a new light on the issue.”

The Daily Wildcat • 15

These events attract a variety of different people, whether it be scientists, poets or people who are just interested in environmental issues.

“These climate talks are a lot about questioning such as what it means to live at this time and in this day and age,” Gzemski said. “Our goal is to get people to think about how writing can illicit change in the world.”

The concept that science can inspire art can alter many people’s ways of thinking.

“Science is beautiful,” Hatley said.

“The natural world is magnificent to behold. The complexity of life, the order of the universe and the things that tie it together are aweinspiring. Art lets us put to canvas and page what causes us to gasp and wonder.”

These poetry readings address challenges, contradictions and consequences of climate change in the world.

Through a poetic lens, these events will enact thinking and questioning about how literature and science collide to form change.

“Poetry invokes emotion, and the experience of that emotion already makes the world better,” Strand said. “That emotion can certainly be influential.”

This semester’s featured poets include Robert Hass, Brenda Hillman, Aracelis Girmay, Camille Dungy and Joy Harjo.

Next semester’s lineup includes Ross Gay, Brian Teare and Alison Hawthorne Deming.

“Climate change is topical and important,” Gzemski said. “Often times, people think that the arts can’t address science. This is a great way to show that poets can.”

All readings will take place at the UA Poetry Center at 7 p.m. on select Thursdays from Oct. 6 until Feb. 16, 2017.

Defense shows promise, problems in loss to Huskies The UA defense made several big plays to give the team an opportunity to win in overtime, but it still has room to improve moving forward

he Arizona defense is still a work in progress. For everything it gives you in effort, it gives you the same in frustration.

This was on full display Saturday night at Arizona Stadium against the No. 9 Washington Huskies in Arizona's Pac-12 Conference opener.

The Arizona defense was lost and confused at times, and it led to some big plays for the

Huskies. But other times, the Arizona defense was in sync and came up with huge plays to give the Wildcats a chance in a 35-28 game it ultimately fell on the wrong side of.

“Our guys played hard, but we made a few mistakes that cost us in some key times against a really good team," Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said.

The defense Arizona played throughout the game was a bend-but-don’t-break type of performance. It limited star Washington running back Myles Gaskin to 88 yards rushing, but then allowed backup Lavon Coleman to rush for 181 yards.

Washington rushed for 352 yards on the night, most of those gains coming on huge

gashes through the defense. The inability to hold Washington to three-and-outs was an issue that allowed the Huskies to sustain drives.

That issue alone paid dividends for Washington as the game wore on.

“I think we had one three-and-out, and then four five-and-outs, so [Washington] did a good job of controlling the tempo,” Rodriguez said.

There were some bright spots, however, and if Saturday night was any indicator, those flashes may end up being the reason the Wildcats make it to a fifth consecutive bowl game.

One of those bright spots was the secondary's play, mainly in how it adjusted to Washington

“

ARIZONA QUARTERBACK BRANDON DAWKINS 13 celebrates his touchdown with teammates during Arizona’s 35-28 overtime loss to No. 9 Washington at Arizona Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 24. Dawkins threw for 167 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 176 yards and two more scores.

wide receiver John Ross. He had Washington’s first two touchdowns, one by rushing and the other through the air.

Ross was a nuisance to the Arizona defense but was neutralized, notching only one catch in the game's final two quarters, including the overtime period.

Arizona cornerback Dane Cruikshank adjusted his play and pressed receivers, which led to a crucial interception deep in Arizona territory late in the third quarter.

Cody Ippolito and Jack Banda combined for 3.5 sacks on the night, a mark that Ippolito attributed to the team’s conditioning.

“We condition more than anyone in the Pac-12 and we can keep up with anyone,” Ippolito said.

The Wildcats' sink-or-swim pace may be frustrating, but they have gotten better in the last few weeks. This team is being hit by the injury bug once again and it will take every part of the defense to help keep in games the remainder of the season.

Lessons learned in Arizona football's OT thriller

His legs tied the game at 21 with less than two minutes left in the game. Dawkins then threw a game-tying touchdown to tight end Josh Kern that send the game into overtime.

Dawkins said his conditioning has ramped up since his time as Arizona's starting quarterback.

“I know I was really winded during that Grambling [State] game, but every single day after practice, I stayed an extra 10-15 minutes and on Sundays even with the strength coaches and just doing some extra conditioning," Dawkins said.

THE GOOD

THE BAD AND THE UGLY

NICK SMALLWOOD/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA RUNNINGBACK J.J. TAYLOR 23 is escorted off the field after injuring his ankle in Saturday’s game against No. 9 Washington at Arizona Stadium. Taylor had rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown before the injury.

With Nick Wilson out due to an ankle injury and Arizona's depth chart thinning out, J.J. Taylor was the next man up.

The freshman totaled 19 carries for 97 yards and a touchdown before going down with a broken ankle, according to Rodriguez. “[The situation is] extremely frustrating,” Rodriguez said. “This guy was going to be lights out—is lights out.”

Now the Wildcats are down to Zachary Green and converted wide receiver Tyrell Johnson, but Wilson’s status should be improving soon, since his movement during pre-game warm-ups looked promising.

The Wildcats' senior leaders aren't leading The trio of wide receivers that are the veterans of this team are seniors Trey Griffey, Samajie Grant and Nate Phillips.

The group totaled four catches for 15 yards and never found a groove, even late in the game.

It was expected that Washington’s secondary was going to play a huge factor.

Although all three receivers have made big catches in crucial games in the past, they were nearly nonexistent Saturday.

Arizona fans aren't football fans Whenever the Wildcats host a top-10 school, fans and students always fill Arizona Stadium to the brim. Against Washington, the ZonaZoo was struggling to fill the edges.

Arizona Stadium can fit 57,400 people, while Saturday’s attendance was recorded at 48,747—just over 84 percent full.

The football game was also competing with hip-hop artist YG, who had a concert at the Rialto Theatre the same night. But the No. 9 team deserves a little more respect.

The pride should be for Arizona more than anything, because even though the Wildcats came out with a loss, they were resilient. As a football fan, that should be enough motivation to buy a ticket and spend an evening at Arizona Stadium.

Who knows what the crowd will be like in a few weeks when the Wildcats return home to play USC on Oct. 15.
