Local Tucson artist Donovan White poses for a photo in his shared studio space, The 6th n’ 6th Faction, at 439 N. 6th Ave. on Monday, Sept. 21. White, a painter, shares The 6th n’ 6th Faction with Tony Pickup, a leather artist. The duo opened the studio at the end of May.
Local artist paints on knives BY Erika Parra
The Daily Wildcat
People usually expect paintings to be displayed on a white canvas. But for local painter Donovan White, anything could serve as his canvas. “Forever, I was just a standard artist. I would go out and buy a canvas and paint on the canvas,” White said. “It just got boring to me, so I would just find little funny stuff to paint on. I really like wood, and now you can find so much cool stuff to paint on.” His mediums include wood, butcher knives and cast iron skillets, among other eccentric canvases. He utilizes 1 Shot enamel paint to realize his artistic vision. White said the paint is very flexible to work with because it adheres to all his unorthodox canvas choices. At the moment, White favors painting on butcher knives, linking his art to his culinary background. He said they make “perfect little canvases,” and the vibrant colors he utilizes diminish knives’ association with horror. “[The 1 Shot acrylic paint] just turns these horror movie instruments of death into cool, fun-to-look-at [art pieces],” White said. He also says that he sells these knives to chefs worldwide, including those in Mexico and Canada. White was born in the District of Columbia and grew up in Maryland and Virginia. He credits many influences in his life then for leading him down the artist’s path. “I grew up in an era where we had wonderful Saturday morning cartoons and stuff like that,”
he said. “From that, I was a skateboarder for a good 20 years and loved punk rock music, comic books, science fiction and ‘Star Wars.’ [Art] just kind of came naturally.” His grandfather was also a significant influence to his art. White said that when his grandfather babysat him, he would always doodle. White was impressed with what his grandfather could do with just a pen. From there, he picked up a paintbrush and started to get into 3-D art. After deciding not to attend an art school in New York, White took a road trip down to Tucson to reconnect with old friends and decided to move to the city a year later. . White’s style of art stems from comic books, old cartoons, Thrasher magazine and Mad magazine. When looking through his pieces, one notices these cartoon influences through his unique characters, illustrated with multiple eyes, small potbellies and bright pink and green skin colors. In some artwork, he adds desert influences, made visible in paintings of men with sunglasses reflecting saguaro cacti. White said many of his successful paintings have been ones he never meant to create in the first place. “Mostly, I’ll basically work on a big painting, and all the small stuff will come when [I’m] just cleaning out my brushes. So instead of wasting ink, I’ll have a bunch of little panels lying around and just throttle, outline and do little fill-ins,” he said. “I’ve had a good 10-year run with it.” White partnered with Anthony Kincheloe of Allegiant Brand Leather to create customized
leather pieces, such as wallets and belts. The two opened a gallery, The 6th n’ 6th Faction, in April. White showcases some of his smaller pieces there and bought the gallery with a vision in mind. “All I needed was a showroom place for the smaller stuff,” he said. “It’s a perfect location: it’s right downtown, close to the university, close to Fourth [Avenue]. ... We’ve had five shows here.” White said the shows have a great atmosphere, from the attendees to his homecooked food to catering for the events. He also displays his works at Che’s Lounge, where he works as a bartender. Since relocating to Tucson, White has also collaborated with other talented local artists. He said one of his favorite collaborations was the Tucson mural that stretches down Speedway Boulevard toward the freeway. White also held a collaboration night called “ArtPhag” at the Surly Wench Pub on Fourth Avenue, where artists enjoyed drinks and collaborated on different art pieces. “There’s nothing I enjoy more than sitting around with a couple other like-minded individuals and putting out good quality work,” White said. White said he plans to continue cranking out quality work in his gallery and hopes to continue to support fellow local artists. He also said that he hopes to someday receive statewide and nationwide recognition as an artist. — Follow Erika Parra @DailyWildcat

The Daily Wildcat
Music will fill Centennial Hall this week with the arrival of the touring production of “Annie.” The classic show encompasses the life of a spunky red-headed orphan, Annie, who believes her family will rescue her and features a set of antagonists ranging from infamous orphan caretaker Miss Hannigan to couple Rooster Hannigan and Lily St. Regis, who attempt to con Daddy Warbucks out of his money. Lucy Werner, who plays St. Regis, has been in theater since the age of 9, when her singing teacher encouraged her to audition for the community theater production of “Annie.” “My voice teacher actually had me audition for the community theater production of ‘Annie,’” she said. “So, I got the role of Annie, and it was my first show ever, and I fell in love with theater.” While Werner played the titular character at the age of 9, the role of

Run the Jewels set to rock the Rialto BY Paul Barlyn
The Daily Wildcat
Unconventional hip-hop duo Run the Jewels will be making a stop at the Rialto Theatre as part of their Jewel Runner tour Tuesday, Sept. 29. Run The Jewels consists of Atlanta rapper Killer Mike and New York producer El-P. Both of them have eccentric and gritty styles, and together they have so far produced two records, Run the Jewels and Run the Jewels 2, and remix album Meow the Jewels. Their third record is expected to drop next year. Killer Mike and El-P make an excellent duo. Killer Mike, who has been making records for over a decade, embraces his Atlanta roots with a very Southern production style and unforgiving lyrics. El-P, on the other hand, racks in many years of producing and rapping, and has a style that compliments both Run The Jewels and Killer Mike very nicely. His hard, energetic and noisy beats bring a lot of heart and tenacity to the music. Their previous two records have been received very well by hip hop listeners, and many will be excited to see them perform live in Tucson on Tuesday. It is not uncommon for rappers to struggle to replicate their style in a live setting, but Run the Jewels knows just how to accomplish this feat. In a live review, Consequence of Sound’s Pat Levy wrote that Run The Jewels are best experienced in-person. “El-P and Killer Mike have arguably the best chemistry between two active musicians, and when they get to showcase this, it’s a sight to behold,” Levy wrote. “Pairing that with the tidal wave of fan enthusiasm, Run the Jewels concerts are unlike any other I’ve ever been to.”

Usually packing along very talented, unknown rappers to open up for them, Run the Jewels creates the perfect setting to amp up the audience for their performance. On Tuesday, New York rapper and producer Bishop Nehru, accompanies the duo. Nehru is best known for his collaboration with production legend MF DOOM, called NehruvianDOOM. Artists Cuz Lightyear and BOOTS will also join Run The Jewels on the Rialto stage. An important part of any performance is engaging the crowd, and unsurprisingly, Run the Jewels excels at this. “When Run the Jewels took the stage,
the crowd erupted in a way that I’d never experienced at a venue show,” Levy wrote. “It was a headlining-slot-at-a-festival reception, the earnest reaction of hundreds of die-hard fans eagerly awaiting the duo’s arrival.” The performance, however, is captivating and something to behold. Run the Jewels brings just as much energy, if not more, than they display in their music. “El and Mike controlled the show from minute one, dictating exactly how we were supposed to feel [with their setlist],” Levy wrote. “If this is any indication, Run the Jewels are going to put on a spectacle at The Rialto, and
avid hip-hop listeners will not regret attending.” Run The Jewels are known for having a tremendous amount of talent and energy on their records, and they have done an excellent job replicating this at their live shows. Their ability to engage the crowd and bring the amount of heart that they’re known for makes for an outstanding performance. Look forward to it Sept. 29—doors at 7 p.m., show at 8.

Only bad people make good television BY Alex Furrier
The Daily Wildcat
Let’s be real here: good people are boring people. That’s nothing against good people—they’re actually preferable, usually—but as a whole, they lack edges. These same edges, though, make bad people entertaining, and the worst people can be downright hilarious. “You’re the Worst” (appropriately titled) shines the spotlight on what happens when terrible people with a surplus of sharp edges give relationships a shot. Gretchen and Jimmy’s love story has a classic beginning: smoking outside the wedding of people they hate, discussing the wedding presents they stole. It’s a real storybook meeting. The beauty of “You’re the Worst” begins with the bar being set this low. Each episode spends approximately
22 minutes dropping it further and further. The second season continues this downward spiral with the assurance that the gang of Gretchen, Jimmy and their friends Lindsay and Edgar, remains as clueless and depraved as ever. Progress can be slow for Gretchen and Jimmy, and often comes only when they are backed into a corner with no other option. Case in point: Gretchen moves in with Jimmy because she burned down her apartment. The premiere episode of the second season, “The Sweater People,” acts as a metaphor for the show in the wake of Jimmy and Gretchen moving toward domestic bliss. “The Sweater People” deals with the issue of transitioning from the phase of new-and-exciting in a relationship to the phase where couples trade their former spontaneous ways in for a cozy home, Netflix and a 10 p.m. bedtime.
Out of fear of becoming these “Sweater People,” Jimmy and Gretchen commit to a marathon of partying that includes late nights, drugs and binge drinking until their brains and livers cannot take anymore. A game of partying chicken, the first person to blink—no, pass out—becomes a Sweater Person. The marathon literally comes to a crashing end when the drug-addled couple wake up in the middle of a forest inside a stolen Google Maps car. Gretchen and Jimmy decide that maybe Sweater People aren’t total losers and an occasional night spent at home can be relaxing. Following this conclusion, the couple decides to stick to clear liquids at the bar that night. Season two carves out more screen time to flesh out its secondary characters: Edgar and Lindsay, Jimmy and Gretchen’s respective best friends.
The two often act as competing ideologies. Edgar is the voice of reason that encourages Gretchen and Jimmy to stop fighting their relationship every step of the way, while Lindsay is the devil on the shoulder who continually advises them to never go down the path of the traditional couple. Example A: Gretchen said the definition of love is “putting someone else’s needs above yours.” Lindsay’s response? “Ew.” Lindsay and Edgar’s lives mirror each other. Edgar slowly builds his life from the ground up as a former veteran, while Lindsay’s life crumbles after the failure of her marriage in season one. The two are shoehorned into an awkward romance subplot, one that will hopefully grow in quality as the season progresses. If last season is any indication, the show’s second season will take some time to blossom. Each episode builds upon the quality of the last while
maintaining laughs. The first three episodes of season two show promise and retain the special ingredient that differentiates it from any other comedy on television. Nearly all shows center around likable people getting better, while “You’re the Worst” focuses on the world’s worst people kicking and screaming against learning anything at all. Much like “It’s Alway Sunny In Philadelphia,” the show proves the worst people make the best comedy. The raunchiness and depravity of the characters on “You’re the Worst” may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you can stomach terrible people doing terrible things, your laughter will sound louder than your disgust.

Annie Interview from page 3
St. Regis is a change for her. She said that her first role out of college as St. Regis offers a change in experience from her first community theater “Annie” role to her current role as an adult. “It was community theater—so, very different. I think being a little kid and doing ‘Annie’ is probably the most exciting thing you could ever do. … It’s adults taking kids seriously, so it was very fun,” Werner said. “But it’s fun for me as an adult to revisit the show and love it in a different way. … It’s super fun to see it in a different light and to do it professionally. … It’s kinda fun to go full circle.” Playing the role of St. Regis also gives Werner the opportunity to fill some rather large shoes; the role was once played by Kristin Chenoweth in the 1999 film adaption and Bernadette Peters in the 1982 film. “I guess I’m just trying to put my own spin on it, and be myself and still live up to that ditzy, blonde character,” she said. In terms of touring, Werner said that her favorite tour location thus far was Tampa, Fla.: her home town. “It was so cool to go perform at the theater where I had grown up going to see shows,” she said. “I remember so clearly going to see ‘Wicked’ there as a child and going to see all these shows as a little kid. Then I got to perform on that stage with all my friends and family there to see me, and it was just such a wonderful thing to be home.” Arriving in Tucson, she said she isn’t really sure what she would like to do here. She said when she tours she usually asks people who live in the area what she should do, in addition to finding a yoga studio. She said that she usually tries to do what the people who actually live there like to do. As for what the audience and fans of the show can expect going into the production, Werner said, “they should expect classic ‘Annie.’” She went on to elaborate that it is the original story, plot line, characters, look, music and dancing. “It’s just classic,” she said. Werner said Annie’s core is all about finding family in an unconventional way, and that it is about love. She added that the show shows that family doesn’t have to be the people you grow up with; it can be the people you find. “It’s also a great show to take the kids to,” she said. “Annie” plays at Centennial Hall and will run from Tuesday through Oct. 4.

Board of Regents examines budget BY Sam Gross and lauren renteria The Daily Wildcat
The Arizona Board of Regents addressed education in the state, a new strategic plan and a budget request for the 2016-2017 fiscal years during its September meeting on Thursday. The day began with President of the Board of Regents Eileen Klein’s opening remarks, the majority of which concerned the state of K-12 education in Arizona and the lack of collegeeligible graduates produced by the state. Echoed by many of the regents, the need to address “gaps in the seams” of Arizona’s education pipeline was mentioned multiple times. “Students are falling through those gaps,” said Regent Mark Killian after outlining his feelings on K-12 education in the state. Rita Cheng, the president of Northern Arizona University, was then given the floor to address the regents on the state of the university. The remainder of the morning was taken by Cheng’s report, which summarized NAU’s growth, accomplishments and strategies for the future since Cheng took office in August of last year. Cheng also did not shy away from mentioning the difficulties that she inherited at the institution, particularly regarding the extensive budget cuts levied against public universities by the Arizona legislature and her efforts to soften the financial burden on students. Her poised and “deal with the hand dealt” attitude regarding the financial situation was commended and applauded by the regents. After a recess for lunch, the meeting

The Arizona Board of Regents holds their annual meeting at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Ariz., on Thursday, Sept. 24. Among the pressing topics on the board’s meeting agenda was the public universities’ budget for the 2016 fiscal year.
reconvened to discuss strategies regarding the betterment of the Arizona public university system, including legislation implementing a new strategic plan and the approval of a budget request for the 2016-2017 fiscal years. The new strategic plan for Arizona universities is outlined by four academic goals: educate, achieve, discover and impact. However, achievement of this $4 billion plan is not without its risks and challenges. Regents stressed the importance of measuring quality in the Arizona public university system and intensifying competitive pressures in education, which
remains a challenge in the university system. A large portion of the discussion focused on debating the specific metrics that the board would use to directly measure the quality of the university system within its new strategic plan. Regent Rick Myer, said the quality of a university ultimately comes down to the education students receive, and how they impact the state after graduation. “What matters is: are we making a difference in the state of Arizona?” Myers said. The regents also talked about the importance of diversity and the challenge of
breaking cultural barriers. While minority groups continue to grow in comparison to current enrollment rates, the heterogeneity of the student population remains stagnant. “If we change the way we communicate, … we can change the culture at the university,” said Arizona State University President Michael Crow regarding the discrepancy in student-wide minority groups. Regents later voted to install a new strategic plan for the coming 2017 fiscal year. UA President Ann Weaver Hart said the plan can be used as a format for universities to enhance their own approach to education reform. Budgeting was also a heated topic among those at the round table. The regents noted that all three Arizona universities would be spending less per student in comparison to the 2010 fiscal year and will be expecting cuts to be at $99 million directly from public institutions. It was recorded that at least 18 percent of funding for public universities would be cut in the 2016 fiscal year. They also project a net loss of $3,694 per resident student in fiscal year 2016. The board also approved raising the requirement for university employee benefits from 20 hours per week to the federal level of 30 hours per week. To conclude the first meeting, the board unanimously voted to install a new funding legislation plan for the 2016-2017 fiscal year, in response to the impending budget cuts. — Follow Lauren Renteria @lauren_renteria and Sam Gross @samzgross
President Hart gets performance incentive by sam gross and lauren renteria The Daily Wildcat
All three of the Arizona public university presidents received a raise that was approved at the Arizona Board of Regents meeting Friday morning. UA President Ann Weaver Hart was eligible for a $115,000 performance incentive. Just before her bonus went to the board for approval, the regents moved to increase the incentive by $20,000 to help offset housing costs. Hart’s performance incentive was approved by the regents, as well as a $150,000 bonus for Arizona State University President Michael Crow and $40,000 for
Northern Arizona University President Rita Cheng, both of whom were also eligible for performance incentives according to goals set by the regents in 2012. “These institutions have become billion dollar business enterprises,” said Regent Mark Killian, justifying the performance incentives for the university presidents. “If you are going to go out and hire people to run a billion dollar enterprise, you have to invest in them.” The regents also addressed other agenda items at the Friday meeting, which began with statements from ABOR Associate Vice President for Finance and Administration Lorenzo Martinez
regarding the finance committee report. Martinez reported that while the other Arizona universities had plans for new campus projects, the UA did not have any new projects anticipated for its capital improvement plan in the 2016 fiscal year. However, the UA did place a building renewal request for $70.5 million for the 2016 fiscal year. Following the proposal of new capital improvement plans, Arizona Student Regents Mark Naufel and Jared Gorshe addressed the rest of the board regarding Arizona university students. Naufel expressed concerns about sexual assault and
awareness on Arizona college campuses as well as awareness for the wellbeing of students in general. He said there are issues with the promotion of diversity and interactivity with professors during online classes. Naufel, a current ASU student, takes his classes online to fulfill his degree. While he has the opportunity to meet with professors on campus, Naufel sees a problem with online learning and the lack of communication between teachers and students for those unable to physically be on campus. Bruce Fox, president of the NAU Faculty Senate, then presented the report from the Arizona Facilities
Council. Fox’s report echoed the meeting’s theme of education advancement. “We believe, as faculty, the key to success of the students is our role as teaching scholars to create new knowledge,” Fox said. “We want to have that transformational experience for our students. To move them forward individually and collectively for our nation.” The regents will reconvene for their next round of board meetings on Nov. 19 at the UA.

Big DREAMs. No funding. Undocumented students who qualify for President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program pay in-state tuition for the first time this semester, but they are having trouble affording even that BY Jacquelyn Oesterblad The Daily Wildcat
Guillermo Huerta’s first week at the UA was, he said, “kind of terrifying.” He spent the time between classes sitting outside. “I didn’t know what to do with that time,” he explained, laughing, “so I’d just go sit on a random bench for three hours.” The problem was exacerbated by the bus strike, which forced Huerta to accept rides that got him to campus before 8 a.m. every day, and a class schedule full of long gaps. “I didn’t apply until June,” he said, so most classes were already full when it came time to choose his schedule. Huerta applied so late because he is an undocumented immigrant with a work permit and relief from deportation under President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. He and his mother came to the United States from Mexico when Huerta was only 5 years old. Until May, when the Arizona Board of Regents voted to allow DACA students to pay in-state tuition, attending the UA was not a possibility for Huerta. After May, he was rushed to find a way to afford the $5,861.94 in tuition and fees he would owe for his first semester. “What we’re doing is my mom’s boyfriend is lending us money,” he said. “I just have to pay him back in installments.” As a DACA student, even though he is now eligible for the 66 percent discount afforded to Arizona residents at the UA, Huerta is not eligible for institutional, state or federal financial aid and subsidized loans. There are a limited number of private scholarships available to undocumented students, and Huerta applied for one, but, he said, “I didn’t get it.” Still, Huerta spent three years at Pima Community College, and he was ready to move on to the university level. So he’s here now, even though he is unsure how he will find the money to continue in future semesters. Huerta is a pre-major in both computer science and neuroscience and cognitive science. Given the extensive requirements of both

majors, he thinks it will take him another three years at the university level to graduate. After that, he’d like to continue all the way to the Ph.D level. “I want to study artificial intelligence,” he said. This dream is possible for the first time in almost a decade. In 2006, Arizona citizens voted to pass Proposition 300, banning students without lawful presence from “classification as an instate student” and from receiving “financial assistance that is
subsidized or paid […] with state monies.” Dean Martin, a former Arizona state senator who wrote the legislation that placed Proposition 300 on the ballot, argued that the state shouldn’t educate undocumented immigrants who couldn’t legally work. “If you’re not here legally, the state shouldn’t be spending resources that it doesn’t have to subsidize your tuition …” he told the Arizona Capitol Times in 2011. “You’re not going to be able to use that degree to do anything
anyway.” But one year later, that ceased to be true. In June of 2012, President Obama announced an executive order creating the DACA program, which grants certain undocumented immigrants lawful presence and a temporary work permit. In order to qualify, a young person must have been brought to the United States before their 16th birthday, have graduated or be enrolled in high school or a GED program and have lived here continuously between
2007 and 2012. Now, DACA students like Huerta can use their degrees to get jobs, contrary to former state senator Martin’s fears. And with their new classification as lawfully present under federal law, they can no longer be denied in-state tuition under Proposition 300. At least, that was Maricopa Community Colleges’ understanding when its board voted in 2012 to charge DACA students

POLICE BEAT
Complied by meghan fernandez
Full exposure By Ross Hager, 3/02/2006 A woman told police a man had exposed himself to her while she was jogging along North Campbell Avenue around 8 p.m. Tuesday, reports stated. The woman said that as she was approaching East First Street on the west side of the sidewalk, she heard a man yelling “hey” several times. The woman told police she did not look at the man until she was hit in the back with a rock. When she looked towards the man he was standing in the median on North Campbell Avenue with his shirt pulled up to his chest and his pants pulled down around his ankles. The man was not wearing anything underneath the clothes and was exposing his genitals, reports stated. The woman immediately ran to a restaurant and was directed to the University of Arizona Police Department, 1852 E. First St., reports stated. The woman said she didn’t need medical treatment for her back. Reports stated police were unable to locate the suspect. Acid Trip By Maxwell J. Mangold 1/25/2013 A male UA student was taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center while under the influence of acid at 4 a.m. on Jan. 22. UAPD found the man after receiving reports of a person screaming near Second Street and Park Avenue. When police arrived, the subject was with two other individuals. According to the police report, when police asked the man if he was a UA student, the man replied “no” in a normal tone before he “screamed ‘no’ at the top of his lungs.” Police asked the man to calm down and asked if anything was wrong. “Why do you want to kill me?” the man asked. Police then told the man they had no intent of killing him, to which he replied,
“Just kill me.” The man, who had both hands in his pockets, removed a yellow pencil from his pants before moving toward an officer. The officer then seized the pencil and emptied the subject’s pockets to ensure safety. “Go ahead, take it,” the man said. “Take it all.” UAPD noted the man appeared to be under the influence of drugs, but could not determine what. The man, who was standing next to a UAPD patrol car, then lay across the hood with his arms extended out, “as if in a search position.” The Tucson Fire Department was then notified to dispatch to the scene because of his unusual behavior. An officer tapped the man on his shoulder to tell him he didn’t need to lie on the hood of the vehicle. The man quickly stood up, said “I’m dead,” and attempted to run westbound. An officer then grabbed the man’s wrist before the man immediately turned and laid face down with his hands behind his back. He was then put in handcuffs before beginning to hit his head on the road. Police grabbed the man’s head and put him in a seated position before he chose to lie on his back. A two-inch in diameter contusion was noted by UAPD on the man’s forehead. The man then began to shake rapidly as if he were having a seizure. This lasted for 10 seconds, while UAPD held the man’s upper body and legs to prevent him from injuring himself. The man refused to confirm what drug he’d consumed earlier, before he finally responded “acid.” TFD then arrived on the scene and transported the subject to UAMC. During the ride, the man’s only comment was, “Do I look like Lord of the Rings?” before appearing to fall asleep. The extent of the man’s treatment was unknown, but photos of the man’s forehead wound were taken and placed into UAPD Evidence.

DACA
FROM PAGE 8
TOM PRICE/THE DAILY WILDCAT
GUILLERMO HUERTA stands on the UA Mall on Sept. 19. Huerta, a junior studying computer science and neuroscience and cognitive science, immigrated to the U.S. without documents when he was 5 years old.
in-state tuition. PCC followed suit in February of 2013. Then-Attorney General Tom Horne understood the implications of DACA differently, and he sued MCC. On May 5, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Arthur Anderson ruled that the state couldn’t have a definition of “lawfully present” that was different from the federal government’s. The MCC tuition policy was upheld. It was the second major case about the implications of DACA for state law that the state had lost. The first came in December of last year, when a federal judge ruled that the state had to issue drivers’ licenses to residents with DACA. This was the legal landscape facing the Board of Regents when they met on May 7, two days after the ruling. They voted unanimously to immediately reclassify DACA students as in-state students. And that’s how Huerta ended up at the UA. Twin brothers Dario and Danilo Andrade Mendoza had a similar journey to the UA. Like Huerta, they, too, grew up in Tucson and spent three years at PCC before transferring to the UA after the regents’ vote in May. Dario is studying mechanical engineering and Danilo, electrical and computer engineering. “In freshman year of high school,” Danilo explained, “we started reading ‘Cosmos’ by Carl Sagan, and so I began to be interested in science, mostly like astronomy and stuff. But there’s not a lot of real-life applications for astronomy, and math, too. …. So I decided to put them together, math and science, and that’s what engineering is.” He hopes to work on building sustainable energy systems in the future. Dario is less sure of his career plans. “Sure, I’m gonna be a mechanical engineer, but that doesn’t mean my passion is to build the biggest, I don’t know, machine ever,” he said. “I think my passion is that I have to be able to … support both of my parents and my own family when I grow up.” Also like Huerta, the brothers had a particularly easy DACA case. “Those years, 2007 to 2012, that I had to prove residency, I graduated high school in 2012, so I just sent my transcripts and that was it,” Dario said. “I’m just privileged to have that.” His brother agreed, saying, “There [are] people that come here at 16 and
a day, and they can’t apply.” Arbitrary cut-offs like those, Danilo argues, are “unjust.” Proposition 300 also prevents some undocumented youth from fulfilling the requirements to apply for DACA— if an undocumented person dropped out of high school, they can enroll in an accredited GED program now to obtain deferred action. Thanks to Proposition 300, though, accredited GED programs in Arizona require proof of legal residency to enroll. And there are others who meet the requirements but who can’t provide documentation proving as much. “You have to remember,” Dario said, “that the folks applying for DACA are undocumented folks. …. They probably don’t have health insurance, so there’s not many medical records that they can use. If they’re working, they’re probably not working with their name, so they don’t have that evidence, either.” After all, he pointed out, “that’s the whole nature of being undocumented.” So while they’re pleased with the latest victory, they aren’t satisfied. “We have to continue fighting for [all] undocumented students to pay in-state [tuition],” Danilo said. “I think people are still celebrating, ‘Oh, we got in-state, we can all go to school,’” Dario said. “But that’s not the case at all. In-state is completely inaccessible to DACA students.” As of January 23,138 Arizona residents had secured DACA status . The Migration Policy Institute estimates that 32,000 Arizona residents are eligible to apply. And yet there are only 22 students with DACA status enrolled at the UA. According to the Arizona Republic, there are 103 DACA students across all three state universities. “That’s not because they’re not out there,” Dario said. “It’s because … there’s no financial aid from the institution, from the state or, of course, from the federal government, which makes it so that we have to pay everything out of pocket.”
“
The cost of two years of base undergraduate tuition and fees for residents at the UA is almost $23,000. “I don’t know many people that can pay that amount out of pocket, even if they’re citizens or residents or whatever,” Dario said. As engineering students, he and his brother are expected to pay even more. “Seven grand out of our pockets every semester. Who has that kind of money?” Danilo asked. “I’m extremely lucky to be on campus right now because I’ve been saving up for about three years,” Dario said. “And I still don’t have enough to pay my last two semesters.” He jokes that there is at least one bright spot in this ordeal. “I guess the good thing about being a DACA student is that I can never have debt,” he laughed. “We don’t really qualify for most loans.” Dario applied and was accepted to the UA once before, in 2014, but was unable to cobble together enough funds to cover out-of-state tuition costs. The process, he said, was surreal. “I was actually treated as an international student for many months,” he recalled. “It was so weird, because I would get these letters from the UA saying, ‘Oh, go to your nearest U.S. embassy and request this visa.’ And I live five minutes from here.” In his third year at PCC, after being unable to transfer to the UA, Dario spent most of his time working as a tutor and saving money to move to New Mexico. While a few states treat undocumented students even more punitively than Arizona—South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia all ban undocumented students from attending any state university or community college, no matter how much money they pay—many are better. Twenty states offer in-state tuition to their undocumented residents. Some that don’t, like New Mexico, offer scholarships to cover the difference between in-state and out-of state tuition for undocumented students with excellent academic records.
I guess the good thing about being a DACA student is that I can never have debt. We don’t really qualify for most loans. — Dario Andrade Mendoza
ZI YANG LAI/THE DAILY WILDCAT
MECHANICAL engineering junior Dario Andrade Mendoza chooses a book in the UA Main Library on Sept. 1. Andrade Mendoza is an undocumented immigrant with lawful presence under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Huerta, Dario and Danilo were all planning to move to Albuquerque to take advantage of that offer before the regents’ vote in May. Huerta needed another year or two to save enough to finance the move and the cost of living on his own. The Andrade Mendoza brothers were nearly ready to leave. “Arizona was going to lose taxpayers … and engineers,” Danilo said. He probably would have remained in New Mexico to work after graduation. Instead, they are at the UA. For now. But the situation for all three is precarious. The new Attorney General, Mark Brnovich, decided to continue his predecessor’s case, and in July he appealed Judge Anderson’s decision. It is possible that a higher court will find that there is not a DACA-sized loophole in Proposition 300, after all. And DACA status itself is tenuous. “I’m going to have DACA for two years,” Dario said, “and then I’m going to renew it again, and then maybe renew it again.” And during that time, Huerta and the Andrade Mendoza brothers can sleep easily, knowing they won’t be deported. “But I’m never going to get my residency or my citizenship through DACA,” he added. Furthermore, DACA is an executive order, which means that next year’s presidential election will determine its fate and the fate of all those who rely on it. A new president will be sworn in as the semester begins in the spring of 2017, and that president can bring all three men’s lives tumbling down with the stroke of a pen. But in the meantime, Huerta is settling into his life at the UA. He says he found a place to study in between classes, and he, Danilo and Dario are trying to start a club for undocumented students on campus. “It’s fun,” he said of his life as a university student. “It’s chaotic.” Guillermo Huerto, Dario Andrade Mendoza and Danilo Andrade Mendoza are all members of Scholarships A-Z, an organization that raises money for scholarships for undocumented students like themselves.

UA to transition from It’s on Us to I Will by ava garcia
The Daily Wildcat
ASUA is starting a new campaign against sexual assault that will debut this spring called “I Will.” According to the Association of American Universities’ Campus Climate Survey, which looked at sexual assault and misconduct at 27 universities across the U.S., 13 percent of survey respondents at the UA have experienced some kind of sexual misconduct since they first enrolled. In order to lower those numbers, the UA has been working on programs to raise awareness of campus sexual assault. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona partnered with national organization It’s On Us last year to raise awareness of sexual assault. This partnership included one event on the UA Mall with free giveaways while students took a pledge against sexual assault. This year, however, ASUA is no longer working with It’s On Us and is instead implementing the new program, I Will, which differs from It’s On Us. While It’s On Us is a national organization, I Will is student led, created from a proposal by ASUA Sen. Matthew Lubisich. Another difference is how students are involved. “It’s On Us really doesn’t include the entire campus. Sometimes it targets Greek Life and how [sexual assault] happens in Greek Life, but my goal is to get everyone involved in the conversation,” Lubisich said. In order to fulfill that goal,
Lubisich has been working with other organizations on campus to collaborate on the program. These organizations include Wildcat Events Board, SafeRide, the Women’s Resource Center, Freshman Class Council, F.O.R.C.E., LGBTQ Affairs, The Men’s Project, Campus Health Service and Students Promoting Empowerment And Consent. Some of these organizations have already been working on their own programs to combat sexual assault, such as SPEAC. The club holds workshops throughout the year on varying topics, like what constitutes a healthy relationship. “So far I’ve only been to a couple tabling events where we spoke to students about resources if they ever were in that situation,” said Alyssa Contreras, a first-year SPEAC intern. SPEAC and other organizations partnered with the I Will campaign can become even more involved in raising awareness about sexual assault. “We are going to come together and have bi-weekly meetings, and we are going to collaborate to create programs that make people aware about sexual assault on campus,” Lubisich said. “If we all collaborate together, more students will know.” ASUA is planning to have a weeklong lineup of programs in the spring that will end with a resource fair on the UA Mall, where organizations will discuss their involvement in sexual assault awareness. This event will be the culmination of Lubisich’s efforts. Last year, he ran for the senate on a platform of

increasing sexual assault awareness, and he has worked on the I Will program since August. Lubisich said he was inspired for the idea of the I Will campaign after watching a video about the University of Michigan’s I Will program against sexual assault. Lubisich said he plans to make a video for the UA’s I Will program, too. “They made this amazing video, and that’s what we are going to benchmark off of in terms of this
campaign’s video,” Lubisich said. “Then [we will] add our programming just to make it a very nice week-long and very impactful event.” Lubisich wants to have the UA’s I Will video played at freshman orientations and Bear Down Camp in the future. For now, his focus is on making the I Will week happen. After the initial creation of the program, Lubisich said he plans on having the event in the fall, as well. “We are trying to get this
groundwork to make this week, and then that’s going to set up the foundation for yearlong events and to have this week continue throughout the years to come,” he said. The I Will week will take place from Feb. 1 to Feb. 5.

Tenure granted for professor who plagiarized BY gabriella vukelic
The Daily Wildcat
A UA professor who was formally admonished for plagiarism last year recently received tenure. Susannah Dickinson, a professor who taught numerous architectural undergraduate and graduate courses, was reprimanded by the UA after an investigation into allegations that she plagiarized a graduate student’s master’s thesis and presented it as her own work. After the case, however, she kept her position at the UA. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, UA provost Andrew Comrie said in a letter to UA President Ann Weaver Hart, “although Ms. Dickinson’s infraction was not necessarily severe, there is nevertheless a need to make her aware that research

n March, the state legislature cut $99 million from university budgets—$28.4 million from the UA alone. The Arizona Board of Regents and all three university presidents protested heavily—albeit fruitlessly—arguing that the burden this cut placed on students in terms of higher tuition and reduced programs would be severe. And yet, on Friday, the Board of Regents approved pay raises and bonuses for those same university presidents. UA President Ann Weaver Hart will receive a significant $753,700 in total compensation for her work in fiscal year 2015. At the same time, the $99 million in state budget cuts continues to wreak havoc, leading to 320 lay-offs at the UA. Are the presidents now going to protest themselves? If the regents and Presidents Michael Crow, Rita Cheng and Hart are truly concerned about
the financial state of Arizona’s universities, they would have rejected these raises. The presidents’ decisions to accept them reflect fundamental failures of leadership. When professors are being forced into early retirement and students asked to pay more than ever for their education, these raises feel like a “let them eat cake” moment. Regent Mark Killian defended his vote to approve the raises, arguing, “These institutions have become billion-dollar business enterprises. If you are going to go out and hire people to run a billion-dollar enterprise, you have to invest in them.” But the UA is not just a billiondollar business enterprise. It’s a public institution, publicly funded to fulfill a public good. Unlike the University of Phoenix, the UA is not-for-profit. The regents and presidents are not obligated to make money for shareholders but

President Ann Weaver Hart should have shown solidarity and refused bonus after budget cuts and 320 layoffs at the UA
rather to educate the citizens of their state. And education costs money. The regents only get one pot to split among all of the universities’ needs. Instead of spending that money on students, though, the regents have decided to increase Hart’s housing allowance. Killian maintains, though, that “[the presidents] are way underpaid.” Let’s unpack that. The average public university president makes $428,250. President Hart will receive 76 percent more than that. President Michael Crow of Arizona State University, with a compensation of over $1 million, will receive 145 percent more than the average. Meanwhile, spending per student in Arizona decreased over 50 percent between 2008 and 2013. During the same period, tuition increased a little over 80 percent, and it has only risen since. The university presidents are not underpaid, but their students are underfunded. Adjunct faculty have to organize
protests to be compensated just above the poverty line and still face reduced positions and transient contracts. The number of graduate assistantships and undergraduate work positions have been affected by the recent cuts. While UA Chief Financial Officer Gregg Goldman praised decision makers for finding ways to cut funds with minimal impact to students, reduced faculty and staff means increased class sizes, heightened program fees and longer wait times, all at a cost to students’ education. At Friday’s meeting, Regent Rick Myers said, “What matters is: are we making a difference in the state of Arizona?” The difference the regents are making for the state of Arizona is that students are receiving a worse education than ever before. The regents and university presidents could not have prevented the budget cuts; that was a matter of the state legislature. However, the presidents’ refusal to turn down their
raises seems hypocritical and exhibits a lack of solidarity with the rest of the university community. “We can’t afford to lose these people,” Killian said, referring to the university presidents. If Presidents Crow, Cheng or Hart would leave their positions on the basis of being slighted a raise, they might be in the wrong business. This job will never maximize their personal bottom lines. State universities can’t—and shouldn’t—compete with Fortune 500 companies on compensation. Instead, leaders of state universities get their compensation in the form of sleeping easily at night, knowing that they are providing a necessary public service.

Pope bridges politics and religion in visit By Ashleigh Horowitz The Daily Wildcat
L
iving in a generation that has begun drawing away from religion, it feels strange to say that Pope Francis may be a driving political force, able to impact the world. Last Thursday, the pope spoke in front of Congress about climate change, immigration, the death penalty and the arms trade. It would seem that a religious leader formally being invited to speak in front of such a powerful political body would be accepted graciously in a country that puts God into everything, even our currency. Incidentally, the pope was not welcomed by conservatives. Republican Congressman from Prescott,
Ariz., Paul Gosar published an article on TownHall.com about how, if the pope decided to waste his time talking about things such as climate change, he wasn’t going to go. According to Gosar, the pope should stick to speaking about religious issues while on the clock for the Vatican. Now, one right-wing politician boycotting the pope shouldn’t sound an alarm, but the world and the Internet are full of a wide variety of opinionated people, so the pope’s presence holds more influence and is a topic of discussion for more than just the one, lone congressman. In a poll done by the Pew Research Center, 31 percent of the 114th Congress have been tallied as Catholic. According to the National Journal, since 2005, the pope in general has been mentioned in the congressional record a total of 2,055 times, with Pope Francis reaching 123 times in 2015 alone. Pope Francis is not just some religious

figurehead that sits in the Holy See with only scattered followers across the globe. No, the pope—and Christianity itself—has a tight grasp on the outcome of politics. He has real power. A whopping total of 1.9 percent of those running America are unaffiliated or refused to affiliate with religion, that leaves 98.1 percent of the 535 members of Congress religiously affiliated, according to the Pew Research Center. So when one congressman from one city of the 50 states decides that Pope Francis is misusing his political power, it’s easy to extrapolate that other legislators agree. Congress votes on nearly every aspect of life for over 300 million Americans and their decisions also have the power to influence our trading partners and the global economy. For Pope Francis to use his influence to talk about economic, environmental and civil rights instead of the “persecuted” Christians and “violent Islamic nation” that Gosar prefers is a fantastic step toward a brighter future.
It is high time a strong political and religious figure told the world how it is, that we have bigger social and environmental issues to contend with. Whether you’re a religious person or not, to hear a leader for once connect religion and the growing problems in the world is more than just a good deed, it’s a bridge between the traditionally religious and advancing secular societies that could drastically alter the course of society in coming decades. So instead of whining and treating the pope with disrespect because he’s an influential religious figure that doesn’t want to rant about Catholicism all day, perhaps people like Gosar should embrace the opportunity Pope Francis is bringing to the table. The opportunity to come together, identify real problems and work to resolve them. — Follow Asheleigh Horowitz @elhixsagh

American is not a language, GOP By Jacob Winkelman The Daily Wildcat
A
s if calls for deportation and border fences along Mexico and Canada weren’t already sinking Republican chances of winning over Latino voters in 2016, Republican candidates have recently begun championing a new line of rhetoric concerning the national language of the United States. To be clear, the U.S. doesn’t have an official language. Various movements have tried over the years to grant English the honor, but so far none have been successful, and English, Spanish, Mandarin and every other language remain equally unofficial. Carly Fiorina, candidate for president, mistakenly identified English as the official language in a recent television interview. Although this isn’t a huge deal, it still seems like something someone running for the most powerful job in the world should know. What may become problematic for the Republican Party is that Fiorina’s gaffe was just the beginning.
Donald Trump criticized Jeb Bush for speaking Spanish at campaign rallies and Sarah Palin declared on national television that people should “speak American” in this country. It’s these comments, in addition to constant calls for deportation from Republican candidates, that lead many to believe the GOP may struggle quite a bit with Latino voters in 2016. In a recent MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist poll, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, led Donald Trump, the current Republican frontrunner, 69-22 percent among Latino voters. Despite winning 44 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004, the Republican Party has since seen a steep decline in support from Hispanics, a phenomenon that can be partly attributed to their far right positions on immigration. What’s more problematic than the general inaccuracy surrounding U.S. language policy is the way in which candidates for president are so quick to label anything other than English as un-American. The U.S. has long toted its “Melting Pot” demographics and the diversity that separates it from other Western countries. A country supposedly rooted in a foundation of freedom would in theory fight to preserve the right of its citizens to speak their language of choice. Whether or not the language mishap
YOUR VIEWS Quackery and the UA’s College of Public Health Quackery is a term that should be used judiciously. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines quackery as “the methods and treatments used by unskillful doctors or by people who pretend to be doctors.” A quack doesn’t need to be deceptive; a quack may not know any better. Oddly, the state of Arizona licenses quacks. There is a Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medicine Examiners, which licenses doctors who have lost their medical licenses in other states, who, in Arizona, can then practice without much limitation. The scientific consensus on homeopathy is that it is useless. Then there is the Arizona Naturopathic Physicians Medical Board, which licenses practitioners claiming to be just like medical doctors but better. Arizona is home to one of the few dedicated schools of naturopathic medicine in North America, the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. Last week, the UA’s Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health announced a new partnership with the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. Students at SCNM will be able to earn a naturopathic doctorate while earning a master’s degree in public health through classes online and at the UA’s Phoenix campus. Students at SCNM and the other naturopathic schools are required to “master” homeopathy. Along with other old-timey, folk and pseudoscientific methods, like

Saturday night was tough to swallow for Arizona football. Its matchup against UCLA was a chance to make a splash in the Pac-12 Conference and show the nation what the Wildcats are capable of. Unfortunately, they were unable to answer the bell. So far this season, there has been a discussion of who will be the X-factor for the Wildcats. Will it be Anu Solomon, Nick Wilson or the offense as a whole? How about Scooby Wright III? After Saturday night’s loss, the Wildcats showed us who would need to be that difference. The defense as a whole needs to step up. Before UCLA, the Wildcat defense showed that it struggles early in the game and particularly against the run. Against NAU, it struggled stopping the running game and allowed the Lumberjacks to hang around with the Wildcats for the first quarter. It struggled stopping the run against Nevada, and UTSA was also an early scare. Arizona’s defense struggled throughout the entire game Saturday, but particularly in the first half. UCLA’s offense was efficient, going 7-8 on third down in the first half and taking care of the ball. UCLA went 11-15 on third down for the entire game. Coming into the game, UCLA running back
Paul Perkins and true freshman quarterback Josh Rosen were the biggest factors for the Bruins offense, and on Saturday they showed how. Rosen looked solid in his Pac-12 road debut, going 19-28 for 284 yards with two touchdowns. Rosen shredded the Arizona secondary with ease, but the defensive pressure never made him uncomfortable in the pocket. UCLA’s offensive line looked solid, stopping any pass rush the Wildcats threw at Rosen. Rosen is one of many solid Pac-12 quarterbacks the Wildcats will face this year. Cody Kessler from USC, Mike Bercovici from ASU and Travis Wilson from Utah will all get a shot to carve up this defense. The Wildcats must figure out a way to generate more quarterback pressure, or else it’s going to be a long season ahead. Perkins was the MVP of the game, rushing 24 times for 85 yards with three scores. Perkins shed tackles left and right and seemed to be running with ease. Backup Soso Jamabo also ran nine times for 96 yards with a score later in the game. The Wildcats’ tackling ability was poor. They could not wrap up Perkins, and UCLA was able to move the ball with ease. The Bruins also finished the game perfect in the red zone at 7-7, all touchdowns. Arizona went 3-5 in the red zone.
“We didn’t tackle well; it was real disappointing,” said head coach Rich Rodriguez after the game. “I thought we had tackled okay prior to today, but they had some good skill players, good running backs that make you miss, and our tackling was really poor. That’s been a concern for us all year, just because it’s hard to practice it, particularly when you’re hurt and banged up.” Even Scooby, who is one of the most solid tacklers in college football, was struggling to wrap up. The defense just could not catch a break Saturday night. In short, the Bruins’ offense took advantage of an unprepared Arizona defense. Arizona needs to get better at pressuring the quarterback. That should be the priority, because hurrying quarterbacks will take some pressure off of the secondary. They get burned because someone like Rosen has all day to stand in the pocket and check over each of his options. A vet like Kessler or Wilson will cause even more damage given the opportunity. This defense is not a bad one with players like Wright, Will Parks and Cam Denson lining up. They just ran into a buzz saw in UCLA. Perkins has been an untold story this year, yet he has been dominant through the first four games of this season. However, if the Wildcats want to remain in the Pac-12 mix throughout the year, some

Football stumbles under spotlight BY Justin Spears The Daily Wildcat
Y
et again, Arizona football lost during a primetime matchup on ABC. The game was supposed to show the rest of the country that Arizona is a legitimate College Football Playoff contender, but the Wildcats shot themselves in the foot with turnovers. With ESPN’s College GameDay stopping through Tucson for a Pac-12 shootout, the Wildcats lost for the second time the crew has come to the university. No. 16 Arizona hosted No. 9 UCLA in a conference opener, and for the first time this season, Arizona got what they had coming to them after a relatively soft
non-conference schedule. The Wildcats defeated NAU with record-setting points and yards, but let’s be real. The Lumberjacks are a mediocre team at best in the Big Sky Conference. Saturday’s game wasn’t what most expected, but it was a true test to evaluate where the Wildcats are at in terms of progression as a team. Arizona had more turnovers than the Pillsbury Doughboy, and two of them were fumbles that were lost. There was a miscommunication between center Cayman Bundage and the carousel of quarterbacks. There were two fumbles from Anu Solomon and one from Jerrard Randall. Solomon went down in the first half after the flying knee of UCLA linebacker Kenny Young. That is when the Wildcats made an adjustment on offense and UCLA stacked the box to stop Randall from creating any
room for quarterback keepers. Once UCLA went up 28-7, the snowball affect of Arizona folding over increased, and Arizona was deflated once it knew time was its worst enemy. Arizona has a tendency of dropping games in front of a national audience, and the one week where Arizona receives national exposure, they get thumped 56-30 while giving up 497 yards. The last time GameDay came was in 2009 for the Pac10 matchup between Arizona and Oregon. Analyst Lee Corso put on the Oregon Duck mascot headgear, so Arizona fans received redemption after he donned Wilbur Wildcat’s mascot head gear. With special guest Bob Baffert, American Pharoah selected UCLA. Then Corso got Arizona fans jumping after he disagreed with the Triple Crown
winner. “I like horses, but I love cats,” Corso said. Even though Arizona was hyped and expected to come out guns blazing, the Wildcats played productively, but turnovers stopped them from creating any momentum. The statistics are identical as Arizona only had 29 yards less than the Bruins. Nick Wilson ran for 136 yards, yet it was UCLA’s two-headed dog, the running-back combo of Paul Perkins and Soso Jamabo, who combined for 181 yards. Once again, Arizona was embarrassed on national television. With the Pac-12 Championship Game blowout to Oregon, the Fiesta Bowl lastminute mistakes and now a primetime game with College GameDay in town, Arizona can never find a way to pull it together for a national audience. On top
of that, Arizona has to travel to Palo Alto, Calif., next week to take on Stanford, which has been on a hot streak since losing to Northwestern in week one. The status of Solomon is still unknown, but Arizona took a few steps back this weekend. Now with a chip on their shoulder, expect Arizona to piece together a comeback victory in the Bay Area next weekend. Let’s just hope the game is on Pac-12 Networks and not ESPN, so Arizona isn’t jinxed again. GameDay is a treat to Tucson, and the experience of the show is energetic and spunky, but the Wildcats have terrible luck when the crew comes to the city.

Hockey beats NAU, ready for ASU BY Seth Pines
The Daily Wildcat
Execute the system. That is what Arizona Wildcat hockey coach Chad Berman preached to his team in the week leading up to its first two games. The team listened and responded with two wins over the Northern Arizona University IceJacks to start its season. The Wildcats dropped the puck against NAU on Friday night in front of a packed and rowdy crowd at the Tucson Convention Center. John Hogan opened up the scoring for the Wildcats as he fired a shot above the right circle that easily beat NAU goaltender Seth Kollman. Defenseman Bryan Drazner then let go a hard slap shot from the blue line to give Arizona a 2-0 lead heading into the second period. After Drazner’s goal, things got increasingly heated between both teams as several scrums ensued following stoppages in play. NAU, a Division II team in the ACHA, showed it was not willing to back down from the Wildcats. In the middle of all the tussling
was Arizona’s Jake Crow (25). The Toronto, Ontario, native supplied big hits all night long and easily caught the attention of NAU. “When you get a bunch of competitive guys on the ice like this, you’ll find a lot that these scrums happen,” Crow said. The post-whistle activity certainly energized the crowd at the TCC but diverted the Wildcats’ focus as they squandered a 3-1 lead late in to the third period. With 4:53 left in the third period, Arizona’s Kyle Griffin played hero as he skated unopposed into the NAU zone and fired a wrist shot above the right circle that knocked off Kollman’s pad and found its way to the back of the net. The Wildcats would hold on to capture their first win as junior goaltender Garrett Patrick held down the fort in the final minutes. Berman wasn’t pleased with the team’s overall effort in its first contest of the season. He said he thought the team played sloppily after its quick start, played to the crowd by engaging NAU in post-whistle altercations and did not execute its system of
back-checking and transition. In game two of the series, sophomore back-up goaltender Austin Wilson got the start for the Wildcats to gain preparation for UA’s upcoming games at Oklahoma and Central Oklahoma where he will most likely play. The Wildcats got off to a quick start again as sophomore Roy Grandov deflected a wrist shot from defenseman Nick Zellmer past the NAU goaltender. Grandov then gave UA a 2-0 cushion as he banged home a rebound from a Drazner slap shot. Both of Grandov’s goals were recorded on the power-play. UA coasted the rest of the way as they bundled up NAU in the neutral zone for the night, giving the IceJacks very few offensive opportunities. Alex O’dea and Sean Gruenhagen deposited a goal each for the Wildcats in the second period, which gave them a 4-0 lead they would not relinquish, as Austin Wilson would post the first shutout of the season for UA. Berman was much more satisfied with the team’s performance in the second game.

“We were much more effective on the fore-check; we were much better in the neutral zone and our defensive zone coverage,” Berman said. “It was the details that made the difference for us tonight.” The Wildcats play next on Saturday as they head up Interstate-10 to play the new ASU Division I team at Gila River Arena, the NHL home of the Arizona Coyotes. Coming from Canada, playing
in an NHL rink has always been a dream for Crow, and he is ready to give the Sun Devils a run for their money. “It’s been our focus since training camp to make that a tough night for [ASU] and make that a terrible coming out party for them,” Crow said. — Follow Seth Pines @SethPines

Do I have a problem if I can only have sex when I’m totally wasted? Is there something wrong with me? I’m pretty and smart! Consider your own experiences, as they will help in answering your question. Has sex been fun, memorable and a source of pleasure? Has it been consensual? If you answered “no” to any of these, it could mean that it’s time to take a different approach to alcohol and how it affects your relationships and sense of self-worth.
impaired person who cannot give consent is rape.
On the surface it can seem like alcohol makes everything easier. Drinking can make shy people feel outgoing, the inexperienced seem seasoned and the demure act daring. But mixing alcohol and sex also comes at a price. The judgment skills that we take for granted when we are sober are drowned out, leading to decisions that can compromise our health and safety.
By having the courage to question your past behavior, you are taking the biggest and most difficult step toward improved health. Fortunately, there are resources on campus that can help you along the way, including Counseling and Psych Services (CAPS) at UA Campus Health. To schedule an appointment, call (520) 621-3334, or visit them on the 3rd floor of the Highland Commons Building near 6th St. and Highland Ave.

The kind of sex you describe is also associated with sexual assault. According to Arizona state law, having sex with an
Even if you are in a consensual, mutually monogamous relationship and both of you are disease-free, sober sex still makes sense, since alcohol can diminish arousal, lubrication and the overall satisfaction you get out of intimacy.
