UA Cancer Center celebrates 40 years BY ELIZABETH O’CONNELL @_econnell
This week, the UA Cancer Center celebrated the renewal of its prestigious designation, their 40th anniversary and the five-year, $17.6 million cancer center support grant they recently received from the National Cancer Institute. Established in 1976, the center is one of 45 comprehensive cancer centers in the nation, which is the highest designation given by the NCI, according to Meredith Mullins, UACC’s associate director of administration. Mullins said the NCI awards different cancer centers support grants, typically lasting five years, which is the longest cycle given by the NCI.
/DAILYWILDCAT
Once a cycle is up, a cancer center has to reapply and compete for the grant. Six months ago, that was the case for the UACC. Mullins said the center’s cycle of receiving the grant had been up for a couple of years and, even though they were late on reapplying, the center was given permission to submit the application later because of the arrival of the center’s new director, Dr. Andrew Kraft. Mullins said Kraft was responsible for putting together the grant proposal. Kraft provided the tools, templates and a timeline for 30 different scientific authors to write in the same voice and stay on track. Mullins also helped write certain sections and edit the proposal. Normally, a cancer center sets aside

two years to complete the drafting and submitting process, but the UACC finalized and presented the 1500-page proposal in only six months, according to Mullins. Mullins said it was possible to complete this proposal in such a short amount of time because all the scientists she worked with were committed to the opportunity. The $17.6 million grant is one of the largest grants the university has, according to Joe G.N. “Skip” Garcia, senior vice president for UA health sciences. He said the grant will be focused on two important elements of the cancer center: Paying for a portion of shared resources and paying a certain amount of salary to the scientists and administration.

UA faculty get space to make mistakes, work together, hone their collaborative classroom skills BY ROCKY BAIER @prof_roxy
With nine collaborative learning spaces on campus, thousands of students and hundreds of faculty now have the ability to learn and teach through active learning with the help of new technology. To better help faculty members adapt to the new spaces and technology in order to smoothly operate their classes, the Research Corporation for Science Advancement funded the Collaborative Faculty Room, a place for teachers to learn, make mistakes and help other teachers. Collaborative classrooms began appearing two years ago when a pilot classroom furnished with party tables, folding chairs and vinyl table cloths was created on the south side of the UA Science-Engineering Library, according to Library Operations supervisor, Carrie Muir. After the original classroom’s success, four other classrooms opened up across campus and this year four additional ones have opened up, making nine total. Paul Blowers, a chemical and environmental engineering distinguished professor, who was one of the first teachers in the pilot space, said he made the scary transition from a lecture hall to an open space. “The night before was terrifying because if you’re behind a podium you’re safe,” Blowers said. “All the sudden [in a collaborative classroom] you’re out in the middle of all the students and they don’t know where you are and you’re tripping over skateboards and backpacks. But then you get a little more comfortable with
it and now I teach all but one of my classes this semester in a collaborative learning space.” Blowers said he dislikes other classrooms because he cannot achieve the same level of discussion that he can in a collaborative learning space. According to him, 80 percent of students isolate themselves in classrooms like lecture halls, but in a collaborative classroom there’s nowhere to hide. Zoe Cohen, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering and physiological sciences, was one of the first teachers to join after the pilot. She said she experienced a similar fear, but Blowers got her excited to teach in those rooms. “You get to interact, you get oneon-one time even in a class of 200 students,” Cohen said. “It’s really transformed the way I teach and the way the students learn.” Collaborative classrooms flipped the way students learn the material. Teachers are now mainly supporters and facilitators of discussion and the students do the “hard lifting” by talking to each other to figure out the problems presented, according to Cohen. The Collaborative Faculty Room opened Sept. 23, and already, teachers are putting it to use and trying out the new technologies offered. Another thing the Collaborative Faculty Room is doing is bringing teachers together. “We have 100 faculty now that are having discussions every other week about teaching,” Blowers said. Colleagues can help each other with new technologies and build off of each other’s knowledge.

a combination of alternating between lecture and active learning days to reinforce concepts would be better. Piakiewicz said before the classrooms can match what the students need, teachers need to give more structure and instruction to the courses. “If we had pre-recorded lectures that we could watch at home before we came into the active learning situation, I think it would be very helpful in filling those gaps,” Piatkiewicz said.

UEMS to operate 365 days a year BY ELIZABETH O’CONNELL @_econnell
University Emergency Medical Services, which started as a senior thesis idea, has quickly grown into a 54-member crew since it conception in 2012. The organization continues to grow and now provides rapid-response assistance year-round. UEMS will now serve the UA campus and its surrounding areas 365 days a year thanks to funding from the Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate. UEMS Chief and Executive Director Samantha Roberts, a junior studying physiology, neuroscience and cognitive science, broke down the typical day of a UEMS member. Roberts said the crew typically starts by checking that all equipment and the UEMS Suburban is ready to go. She goes through the supply bags to see if anything is missing or not working properly and, from there, it is a waiting game for any 9-1-1 calls. Roberts said that it takes about two to three minutes for a team to arrive on scene, where crew members will take vitals, obtain patient history and run the call. A UEMS supervisor will then give a report to the Tucson Fire Chief as soon as one arrives at the scene. Roberts said UEMS, which works closely
with the University of Arizona Police Department, Tucson Fire Department, Campus Health and Banner-University Medical Center, is now officially recognized by Tucson and is dispatched throughout the city. Although the main focus is the UA campus, UEMS serves both students and non-students. Roberts said UEMS is unique in the fact that through it, students help students. The UEMS team is made up of both first-responders and emergency medical technicians. To be a first-responder, you need to be CPR-certified. If a first-responder wants to move up to an EMT position, they have to complete EMT courses. Kyli McQueen, a junior majoring in neuroscience and cognitive science, said that some of the training she received from UEMS has connected back to what she’s learning in her science classes. “This training prepares you for [the] high stress of really intense situations,” said Nolan Weinstein, a biochemistry and physiology junior. Both Weinstein and McQueen are currently first-responders. They said the opportunity to ride along and shadow EMTs has positively impacted their learning experience. “Having the opportunity to act in a leadership setting and gaining this

hands-on experience in the medical field is really important,” Roberts said. McQueen said that while she thought working with UEMS would be cut-throat when she first started, she quickly learned everyone is interested in helping you succeed and grow. She said the group has become a second
family. Roberts said UEMS has incredible support from UAPD and the UA. She said she wants to not only keep those ties strong, but also see UEMS continue to grow and provide a permanent service for the campus.
UA Study Abroad fundraises for students BY ANEGLA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120
The UA Office of Global Initiatives started Passports for a Purpose, a funding campaign aiming to provide 35 passports for UA students planning to study abroad. One of the first things students have to do when applying to study abroad is get their passport, which is an out-of-pocket expense of $145. “I think a lot of times when students consider studying abroad, finances are one of the biggest deterrents—we know that additional costs that can be associated with studying abroad are things like passports,” said Katie Van Wyk, UA study abroad programs coordinator. The campaign, which ends on Oct. 5, has collected $955 so far from 17 donors. Yazmine Moore, recent UA graduate in journalism and family studies and development
studied abroad in Orvieto, Italy this past summer. “It gave me the option to explore a different culture and language,” Moore said. “I was out of my usual element, so it was really cool because I got to experience something I never experienced before.” The campaign website lists amount levels which people can donate and what those amounts will do for the campaign and students. Ten dollars will provide a student with a passport photo, $25 will pay for one student’s passport execution fees, $145 will provide a student with a passport, $290 will provide two students with passports and $1,015 will provide seven students with passports. Donors who give $145 or more will receive recognition on the Study Abroad website. Zoe Messer, a UA law junior who studied abroad in Orvieto, Italy over the summer, said she almost
didn’t go because she didn’t think it would be worth all the money. “You just get so much more out of it by emerging yourself in a whole different culture,” Messer said. “You learn a different way of life—interacting, eating, grocery shopping. It opens your eyes to a whole different place; you’ll come back looking at life in a different way.” This program started by analyzing the barriers that students faced when contemplating going abroad, according to Lisa Turker, associate director of study abroad operation and engagement. “This is a really important experience we want to make sure that we really focus on accessibility,” Turker said. “We want to make this an option for everyone, so it’s a very important campaign in that way.” The funding for the passports will be determined by the application process and information gathered about the student’s financial needs and their reasons for wanting to

study abroad. A committee made up of members from the Office of Global Initiatives will then determine which applications will be funded. “We hope that people will take
time and give just a few dollars to provide this opportunity,” Van Wyk said. “It really is about access and allowing more people to go abroad who maybe didn’t think they could afford it.”

UA collaborates to bring bikes to Ajo BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1
The UA Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health and the Department of Mexican American Studies are working with community partners to create a bicycle program in Ajo, Arizona. The program’s partners provided bikes to Ajo, teach classes on bicycle safety and are working to implement a biking program at the local middle school in conjunction with the Ajo Unified School District. All this is done with a focus on chronic disease management and prevention as well as transportation, according to Martha Moore-Monroy, REACH program director and a health promotion sciences lecturer. Ajo is designated a medically underserved area, according to Ada WilkinsonLee, an assistant professor in department of Mexican-American studies and the co-principal investigator and evaluation director for the grant funding the project. “This is a way for us to try to increase the physical activity to then hopefully counteract some of those health disparities,” she said. “So we’re hoping by it being housed in the middle school that it’s going to help lower the rates of inactivity among the kids.” Wilkinson-Lee said at first, those involved with the program were only hoping to create an after-school program with the bikes. She said the school district has wanted to take it a step further and is considering integrating the program into school curriculum so that students who ride the bus after school do not miss out on participating. “The school’s been really generous,” Wilkinson-Lee said. “They’re willing to offer us space in the school to house and store the bikes. It’s one of those programs where part of the need is the lack of bikes that are available, and so this way, students can actually rent a bike.” In addition to helping students, the Bike Ajo Project helps adults learn about bicycle safety and how to ride a bike. The program trains bike ambassadors to hold free classes for the community. The classes are kept between eight and

Vega, an Ajo resident, will be teaching his first class of about ten this weekend. He said he will emphasize courtesy, safety and laws in his classes and that the classes are often tailored for the town of Ajo. “We’re a really small town,” Vega said. “Some roads are pretty bad and we don’t have bike paths, so we’re going to have to develop safer routes.” Wilkinson-Lee said that working with the community was important to her and Moore-Monroy. “We really wanted people from the community to say what it is and what they need and want, and so the staff are members of the community themselves,” Wilkinson-Lee said. “They’ve been there the whole time and they know the ins and outs of the community.” The program was created through many partnerships, building on decadelong collaborations with organizations such as the Pima County Department of Transportation Bicycle and Pedestrian Program, the UA Department of MexicanAmerican Studies and incorporating the Arizona Planning Association, UA College of Public Health Health Promotion Sciences, the Desert Senita Community Health Center and other community departments, according to Moore-Monroy. The project was funded by the American Public Health Association and the American Planning Association, Wilkinson-Lee said. As the grant for the Ajo program comes to an end, Wilkinson-Lee said they hope the program will become self-sustaining. For now, though, the reaction to the program has been “really positive,” according to Moore-Monroy. She said the day they delivered the bikes to the town was “a great day to be down there.” “We’ve been working on this for a while, and so it’s nice to see the fruits of your labor,” Moore-Monroy said. “I think that’s how the community saw it too, because it’s been a lot of work on the community’s side too.”

throughout the state. “We want to make sure we reach out to the diverse population in Arizona,” Kraft said. “We want to make sure everybody gets the opportunity for prevention, treatment and cure equally.” The UACC has been able to stay a leader of cancer research for decades because the center continues to recruit the best throughout the country, according to Garcia. Garcia said that it is not hard to
recruit the best because UACC is a poster child for the high-quality health science landscape. He said if recruits care about diverse populations and health disparities and they want to be at a great place, the UACC fortunately has that. “I think everyone realizes that the patients are the main focus, and their research will lead to better patient care,” Kraft said.

Red eyes, green substance University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a reference about a marijuana odor coming from a room at a Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall on Sept. 20. When the officers knocked on the door of the room, the resident let them in and they saw a baggie with a green substance in it on a desk. When the officer asked if there was any marijuana in the room, the four men inside the room said there wasn’t. When the officer asked about the baggie, one man said, “That looks like marijuana.” The officer asked if that was all the marijuana, and the man said yes and then took out an orange glass bong. The officers interviewed the men. One said he had smoked, and another said that he’d been doing homework for six hours and been staring at a computer so that was why his eyes were red. Three of the men said it was the last man’s marijuana, and that man later said it was his. Two of the men had already been diverted and so they were cited for possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana, respectively. Another man was issued a Dean of Students referral. The fourth man had just arrived and had not been smoking. Bags and bathrooms A custodian at the UA Main Library said she had been trying to clean the bathroom since 8 a.m. but could not enter because a woman had locked the partition between the entry door and bathroom stall, and so UAPD officers arrived at the library around 9:45 a.m on Sept. 20. When the custodian had told the woman that she needed to clean the bathroom, the woman told her, “find another one.” The custodian said she tried to clean the bathroom four times but every time the woman refused to leave and the partition was locked. The officer knocked and slightly opened the door, announced he was a UAPD officer and told the woman she had five minutes to finish what she was doing and then come out. The woman left the bathroom five minutes later holding three cloth grocery bags and a cellophane bag. The woman tried to walk past the officer but then, when asked, identified herself. The woman’s records were checked and she was found to have received warning for past events of sleeping, blocking access and being in the library after hours— the warning said she would be issued an exclusionary order if she was contacted for any similar behaviors. The officer told her that, though it is a public building, she needed a legitimate reason to be there. The woman refused to say what she had been doing in the bathroom. The woman was issued a six-month exclusionary order based on past incidents, restricting her from all UA libraries. The woman said she understood.

illary Clinton’s assertion that the Pepe the Frog meme—as seen in “The Deplorables” poster—is a white supremacist symbol, has been a resoundingly awful attempt at rallying people to her cause. Pepe the Frog is a character who originated in the Boy’s Club comic series and was subsequently transformed into a meme. Pepe as a meme has usually been whatever the content creator wanted him to be. There are versions used to express happiness, sadness, smugness, disappointment and just about every other emotion. There have been Bane Pepes, Les Mis Pepes, Captain America Pepes and many others. The Clinton Campaign released an article on their website on September 12 challenging Donald J. Trump Jr.’s celebration of “The Deplorables,” a movie poster for the film “The Expendables” that had Donald Trump and many of his supporter’s faces superimposed over the original. Included among this group of deplorables is Pepe the Frog wearing Trump’s signature hairstyle. This poster was, of course, created as a response to former Secretary Clinton’s claim that half of Trump’s supporters belonged in a “basket of deplorables”. Citing an article written by the Daily Beast, the Clinton foundation claims that Pepe has, in essence, been high jacked by the alt-right —a group supporting white supremacy, antisemitism, and other extremely despicable ideals— and that we should be deeply

troubled by Trump’s association with Pepe. The Clinton campaign is wrong. Pepe the Frog is a means of expression and there is no inherent extremism which should be associated with his use. While it’s true that some have used the blank canvass of this meme to advocate for the disenfranchisement and dehumanization of ethical and political groups, Pepe has been used far more for humor than hate.

Does school have you feeling stressed? Channel your energy into volunteer work BY ANDREW ALAMBAN @DailyWildcat
V
olunteering is an experience both beneficial and satisfying to a stressed college student. As the semester flexes its muscles, students are beginning to stress harder about classes. Some look to outlets such as partying to let off steam. There is another option, though— volunteering. It’s a good way to let off steam and simultaneously help out the community. Some students view volunteering as just a way to add a line to their resume, but it’s so much more than that. There’s satisfaction in giving one’s time for others. Volunteering allows you to forget about your problems and help other people resolve theirs. The best part of volunteering is that there’s a place for everybody. If you’re

It warmed my heart to see the younger children be so enthusiastic about the beetle. It was also equally amusing to see a few of them reject the idea of allowing a bug to crawl up their arm. Interacting with people who were so passionate about the insects was a pleasant experience. And these were the people that I was volunteering for. I may be working with the UA Department of Entomology, but the event was for the visitors. It was a gratifying moment to see someone be affected positively by my work. Volunteering is a unique experience that provides various degrees of satisfaction and also serves as a way to relieve oneself of stress. You learn new facts, develop skills and interact with a new crowd of people. Best of all, there’s a volunteer activity for whatever interests you. So go out there, Wildcats, and see how you can relieve your stress while positively impacting your community.

THE BOOK STOP, LOCATED on Fourth Avenue, sells a variety of used and fine books. The bookstore originally opened in 1967 on Campbell Avenue but moved to its current location in 2007.
The Book Stop: A blast from the literary past BY NATASHA CASTANEDO @tasha_castanedo
While some people may say that in today’s art world, watching quality films serves as the most immersive experience, there still is nothing quite like cracking open a great book. Luckily, Tucson has a strong literary culture built by a small army of avid readers. While there are plenty of book stores around the Old Pueblo that cater to local bookworms, one store in particular, The Book Stop, stands out among them. For over 40 years, The Book Stop has provided Tucson readers with interesting books to keep their minds and imaginations busy. Originally opened by William Merrick in 1967 on Campbell Avenue, the store moved to its current location on Fourth Avenue a little over nine years ago.
Now on its third set of owners, Tina Bailey and Claire Fellows, The Book Stop continues to offer an authentic bookshopping experience. Walking into the store, you immediately catch a whiff of the pungent old-book smell, and for good reason: The Book Stop specializes in used titles that are bought and traded by the people of Tucson. “All of our books are used and out of print. We do have some books that are rare, but they might be better classified as fine books,” Bailey said. The fact that every book has its own personal history makes The Book Stop a oneof-a-kind place and it puts an interesting spin on the typical bookstore experience. The Book Stop’s unique décor and obscure literature both add to the immense charm that this store has. Going to The Book Stop is not like taking a trip to your local
Barnes & Noble. Instead, this bookstore acts as a haven for people looking to curl up and read books that don’t normally run through the mainstream. “It’s a place for browsers, if you don’t know what you want.” Bailey said. “We’re probably not going to have the book you just read a review for, but if you walk in with the attitude that you’re looking for something, anything at all, and just have an open mind, then that’s who this bookstore is for.” Bailey’s outlook is reminiscent of a preinternet era when reading was the key to unlocking mysterious worlds that lay within the pages of an unknown book. Keeping the spirit of curiosity alive, The Book Stop simply exudes the history that has passed through its doors. With stacked shelves that play into the organized chaos of the store, this place
is definitely worth the trip just for the nostalgic experience alone. At the previous location of The Book Stop, the store happened to sit adjacent to an ice cream shop. This resulted in both businesses sharing a mutually beneficial relationship of shared customers—eating ice cream and shopping for books went surprisingly well together. The dream team of novels and waffle cones lives on as The Book Stop recently found out that local favorite Isabella’s Ice Cream plans to open a store right next to it on Fourth Avenue. So next time you’re wandering down Fourth, make a quick stop at The Book Stop. Bailey and Fellow’s bookstore will be sure to spark your literary curiosity, and before you know it you’ll be cuddled up in an antique chair, lost within the pages of mid-century thriller.

What’s coming to Netflix this October BY ALEC KUEHNLE @ThrowMeAnAllie
Netflix’s newest lineup comes just in time to save you from nights full of study-induced misery.
PARAMOUNT PICTURES

FX
The David O. Russell military actioncomedy “Three Kings” will also hit Netflix on Oct. 1. The film stars George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube as US soldiers trying to locate a mysterious pot of gold in Iraq after the end of the Gulf War. This intense, satirical and wonderfully entertaining film brings out the best from both its stars and director.
Viewers will have another cinematic treat on Oct. 1 when “Ghost Town” starts streaming. The comedy, starring Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear, tells the story of dentist (Gervais) who, after a near-death experience, discovers he can see and talk to ghosts, one of whom Kinnear plays. This oddball film relies heavily on the token dry humor that Gervais has built his career and serves as a solid niche comedy.
Netflix is already ahead of the Halloween game with its fill of scary material starting to stream this month. “American Horror Story: Hotel” will stream Oct. 4.

Fans of less-than-spectacular superhero television are in for an exciting month because new seasons of “Arrow,” “The Flash” and “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” will all become available at various points throughout the month. Hopefully, the shows’ average storytelling capabilities will tide you over until the next superhero film hits theaters.
Music fans have something to get excited about on Oct. 12 when “Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids,” becomes available, fulfilling the dreams of any fans itching to get a behind-the-scenes look at J.T.’s most recent tour.
On Oct. 13, the Netflix original film “Mascots” will hit the site. “Mascots” is a new mockumentary from the minds behind “Best In Show,” a hilarious satirical take on American dog shows. “Mascots” offers a look into the world of sport mascot competitions, similar to the dog show competitions. If the same recipe can work twice in a row, then this should prove to be a much-needed comedic relief for the mid-semester blues
New episodes of “Black Mirror” will begin to stream Oct. 21 for anyone looking to satisfy their frightening-entertainment fix during the creepiest month of the year.
If you don’t want to go to school for a day, chill out at home with the greatest ditching-school movie of all time: “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” The film, coming to Netflix Oct. 1, tells the story of Ferris Bueller as he skips class for a day accompanied by both his girlfriend and best friend.

Where to celebrate the Jewish New Year BY CHLOE RAISSEN @chloeraissen
UA students from all backgrounds have access to various organizations that represent their diverse upbringings, and a big part of that diversity is the vibrant Jewish life here on campus. The Chabad at the UA, Jewish Arizonans on Campus and Hillel are the three acknowledged Jewish student life establishments at the UA. Every year, these student-focused organizations offer a hub for all students celebrating the Jewish New Year. Beginning Sunday, Oct. 2, and ending Tuesday, Oct. 4, students are welcome to participate in the celebratory events featured around campus. Located on the north edge of campus at 1436 E. Drachman St., the Chabad is run by Rabbi Yossi and Naomi Winner and serves as an important Jewish cultural center at UA. The Rabbi and Naomi have five children who open their home every Friday night to over 100 Jewish students for Shabbat services and dinner. The Winners said they look forward to opening their home for Rosh Hashanah. “[We] have been living at the UA for over 11 years and offer students a chance to get a taste of home while being so many miles away,” said Rabbi Yossi. This year, Chabad will be hosting students
for their first annual “Rush Hashanah.” “UA Chabad offers students what they crave most during the Rosh Hashanah season—a home away from home,” Naomi said. For this year’s celebrations, Chabad will host services, lunches and dinners throughout the holiday weekend. Jennie Taer, a political science junior, said she finds religious solace and solidarity at Chabad. “I go to Chabad because I enjoy connecting with God and with fellow Jewish students,” Taer said. “Chabad is home. Chabad means a warm place that provides students with the means to observe Jewish holidays and find comfort in prayer.” Almost every meal is offered at no cost, but the Winners encourage all to RSVP for each event. Another organization, the Jewish Arizonans on Campus, also provides a home for students looking to celebrate the Jewish New Year. Run by Moshe and Esti Schonbrun, JAC has been serving students all over Arizona by offering programs that help students learn about tradition in the 21st century and connect with their Jewish roots. “JAC is a Jewish family-style group on campus,” Moshe said. “It has an incredible personal vibe and emphasizes unity and highlevel education.” This Rosh Hashanah, JAC will provide

students with various programs for the High Holidays. “The High Holiday programming will primarily feature discussion-based conversations about the deeper meaning, relevance and significance to the Jewish New Year,” Moshe said. JAC has services and meals at 6 p.m. on Sunday and Monday, as well as a Tuesday lunch at 12:30 p.m. Just a stone’s throw away from the Student Union Memorial Center sits the UA Hillel, a
place for students who want to learn about Judaism and Israel. Hillel is the headquarters for many Israel programs on campus. It also provides a variety of study spaces and a Kosher café. Every other Friday, UA Hillel offers a Shabbat service run by students followed by a traditional Shabbat dinner. For this year’s Rosh Hashanah, Hillel will offer Sunday service at 5:30 p.m. and Monday morning service at 9:30 a.m. along with a special dinner.

Run defense, Josh Rosen key for UCLA against Arizona Daily Bruin senior sports writer Matt Cummings provides his insight to Saturday’s showdown between Arizona and UCLA BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports
Arizona faces UCLA on Saturday in the Wildcats’ first true road game of the 2016 season. Arizona and UCLA are both 2-2 on the year, but the Bruins’ losses are to much better competition in Texas A&M and Stanford. Matt Cummings, senior sports writer for The Daily Bruin of the University of California Los Angeles, shared his thoughts about Saturday’s game.
excellence in the intermediate passing game. UCLA has the eighthmost passing plays of 10-plus yards in the nation and ranks No. 11 in the country in first downs through the air. But Rosen has yet to have success throwing deep to any of his receivers. We’ll see if that changes on Saturday.
What is the mood for UCLA so far? Would you say it is over-achieving, under-achieving or doing about as expected?

THE DEFENSIVE LINE PREPARES for a play from UCLA at Arizona Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2015. UCLA handed Arizona its first loss of the season last year by a score of 56-30.
UA football seeks redemption against UCLA BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro
Arizona and UCLA face off Saturday in a matchup that has two Pac-12 South teams looking to get back on track. It will be Arizona’s first true road game of the season as the Wildcats travel to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Arizona and UCLA both come into this game at 2-2 and one week removed from heartbreaking defeats. The Wildcats almost pulled off the upset at home against then-No. 9 Washington before falling in overtime 35-28 on a failed fourthdown attempt. UCLA surrendered two lastminute touchdowns to Stanford and ultimately fell 22-13 to the then-No. 7 Cardinal. Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez and UCLA head coach Jim Mora are both entering their fifth year with their respective program, and Arizona has yet to beat UCLA in the Rodriguez era.
ESPN’s College Gameday came to Tucson last season in a highly-anticipated matchup that saw then-No. 9 UCLA take it to the then-No. 16 Wildcats. The Bruins’ offense gashed Arizona’s defense for 213 yards and six touchdowns on the ground as the Wildcats struggled to wrap up tackles and negate big plays. UCLA demolished Arizona to start the Wildcats’ spiraling downfall in 2015. Rodriguez saw his team’s 3-0 start turn into a 6-6 regular season record. UCLA is led by sophomore sensation Josh Rosen, who has thrown for 1,165 yards and five touchdowns to four interceptions
this season. He threw for 284 yards and two touchdowns while also running for another score in Arizona Stadium last year. While Rosen’s stats are down from a year ago, this is not the same offense the Bruins ran last year in Tucson. “They are less spread in their base principals. They are more I-Formation and more tight-end orientated,” Rodriguez said. “They are not as much up-tempo as last year, so where practicing against ourselves would not help as much.” Quarterback Brandon Dawkins will likely get the start for Arizona and is coming off

a solid all-around effort, albeit in a loss against Washington. Dawkins threw for 167 yards and a touchdown while also adding 176 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, including a 79-yard scamper in the second quarter. The Wildcats’ running game outside of Dawkins is an uncertainty at this point with Nick Wilson and J.J. Taylor both out with injuries. So Rodriguez might have to take a committee approach. “We are repping Samajie Grant over there, Tyrell Johnson, Zach Green...so it is unfortunate, but we will have enough guys,” Rodriguez said. While this game may not have as much buildup as last year’s, it has pretty important implications in the Pac-12 South. The loser will likely fall behind two games in the division and need utter chaos in the Pac-12 South to gain ground. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
