SAE faces hazing allegations

BY MAX RORIGUEZ The Daily Wildcat

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity is currently preparing a response to allegations that the organization violated hazing and alcohol policies despite already having alcohol restrictions.

people talk about the issue.

According to Walsh-Betteker, one in four college women are subjected to domestic violence.

“It’s a really silent issue, but a really important issue,” WalshBetteker said. “It’s something that is serious and should be talked about.”

Walsh-Betteker led the group of women in a moment of silence and invited them to share the reasons why this philanthropy resonates with them.

SIERRA VISTA — The crowd in attendance got rowdy as second congressional candidates Democrat Ron Barber and Republican Martha McSally debated issues local to here and Arizona.

The candidates discussed the economy, bipartisanship and issues surrounding Fort Huachuca, the military base in Sierra Vista.

McSally started off the debate by saying the most important issue today is the economy, and that she plans to decrease the unemployment rate and increase economic growth by utilizing government spending.

Barber agreed with McSally and said he also believed the economy to be the most important issue today. He said if voters were to look at his record, they would notice a trend in his attempts to create jobs and stimulate the economy.

McSally combatted Barber’s argument when she said she questions whether the economy is better now than it was three years ago when Barber was last voted in. The crowd applauded and cheered in agreement.

When the topic of bipartisanship came up, both candidates said they were more than willing to work with the other party.

Barber said it doesn’t matter if the citizens voted for him or not, but that he would represent his constituents.

“That’s why I went into Congress,” Barber said. “I’m here to represent my community. We cannot have this political divide.

People are sick of it. So am I.” McSally said she agrees with Barber that the political divide should be condemned. She also said she will continue to look for issues that bring the two parties together and that she

STEM department appoints professor to fill top position

BY FELIPE MORENO

The Daily Wildcat

The department of chemical and environmental engineering recently appointed professor Anthony Muscat as its new head.

Muscat, a professor in the ChEE department, filled the position of department chair on Oct. 1 when the previous chair, James Field, left the position this semester after being appointed to assistant dean of graduate studies in the College of Engineering.

Field announced in August that he was stepping down as department head on Oct. 1, two years into his second term. The voting process immediately commenced afterwards, a process Muscat was familiar with after running two years ago against Field.

“I thought that at this point in

“I think for some [fraternities and sororities] that really don’t know any better in educating their members, it’s effective,” Ives said. “I think for others, it’s not because it’s just, ‘We know the rules. We’re just trying to get away … with breaking them.’ …

It’s not that the people just weren’t clear on what the policy was.”

Last year, “Jackass” star Johnny Knoxville alleged that someone slipped ecstasy in his drink when he screened his movie “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” at SAE. The UA could not find evidence to support the claim.

Ives said that SAE is one of the organizations that is just trying to get away with its actions.

“I would say because they know they already have a mandate from their national organization to be dry [that it is] pretty black-andwhite,” Ives said. “It’s hard I would say for [SAE] to make an argument that they weren’t clear on what the policy was.”

Both candidates agreed a larger military is needed within the limits of their budget and that includes the funding of Fort Huachuca.

McSally and Barber said they are deeply connected with the community in Fort Huachuca.

The women who spoke up said that they wanted people to be more educated on domestic violence, to change the way domestic violence is treated in society and to spread awareness.

Katelyn Connors, vice president of philanthropy for AXO, shared a story of how her mother was touched by their philanthropy, because her mother had been in a relationship where she was too afraid to talk about what her partner had been doing.

“I think we’re giving a voice to something that doesn’t really have a voice,” Connors said, “because if you haven’t experienced it, then you don’t really think about it.”

Members of AXO also shared their ideas for how they hope this campaign will change the UA campus.

Walsh-Betteker said she hopes it will help eliminate the fear that comes with talking about domestic violence.

“We would just love to see this campus not be afraid to talk about it,” Walsh-Betteker said. “It’s so serious, and so many women are affected by it. We want people to be comfortable to say something.”

You don’t own the language. #getoverit

BY Trey Ross

The Daily Wildcat

I

won’t ever forget the time I walked into a party and a guy standing next to me turned to his friend and yelled, “This party is so pregnant right now!”

What does that even mean? Maybe the party was “bumpin’”? I don’t know, and I never will, but I rolled with it.

Every day, I hear a few words that I’ve never heard before, but it’s educational, right? I’m expanding my vocabulary here! Currently, my favorite slang word is “salty.” It can be inserted into a sentence in place of “mad,” “pissed,” “angry” and the like. I have overused it in the last few months, and I’d like to extend an open apology to anyone who has been annoyed by it.

Creating slang has always been a part of every generation’s youth culture, but I feel like the addition of memes and the Internet is causing our slang to take on a life of its own.

The Huffington Post recently published an article titled, “Slang Words: What Are Young People Saying These Days?” and I didn’t even know some of the words they were defining for all the old fogies out there. Like “styll,” which apparently means to agree with someone. Definitely never heard that one before. And the green fungus “moss” is now also a synonym for relaxing. I guess I moss too much. But our generation must not be mossing enough to come up with that one.

Not to buy into the media frenzy over millennials, but I gotta say: Millennials are absolutely ridiculous, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My generation might be full of gangsters, hipsters and every other imaginable cliché or trend, but we all have one thing in common: Don’t tell us what to do. We have created our own style of speech to be unique, to set ourselves apart — and the last thing we need is someone telling us that we aren’t using words correctly.

English is as English does. Move over, Shakespeare.

Recently, Jill Shargaa gave a TED Talk in which she said that no one is using the word “awesome” correctly. Excuse me, the first day Starbucks begins to serve the pumpkin spice latte in October is just as awesome as great white sharks. It might be on a different scale, but both are pretty cool and extremely terrifying.

Shargaa thinks we overuse the word “awesome” and that nothing we think is awesome is actually awe-inspiring.

She said the Great Pyramids of Giza are awesome, while PowerPoints are not awesome. She created a list of examples of things she deems awesome and things she deems otherwise.

But policing language like this amounts to policing people’s impressions. And moreover, it’s a way of demeaning one generation’s — our generation’s — ideas because they aren’t presented in “proper English.” When drawn out to its fullest implications, slang policing can be used to further racist ends. Some people may assume those who don’t speak “proper English” are stupid, may lock them out of educational institutions and subsequently equate “success” with speaking a culturally-stripped, boring, “proper” version of English.

So when Shargaa started her talk with a dictionary definition of the word “awe,” it immediately turned me off.

If English is to play the role of international lingua franca, we need to make room for variants. We should be celebrating the ingenuity, nuance and flavor that slang brings to language.

Just because I didn’t physically dip a chip into a salsa or my toes into the ocean, doesn’t mean that I can’t dip out of the party early. So, let’s ignore the haters. Be young, be wild, ’cause YOLO, right?

I may not be able to define every word I misuse, and I may be incapable of keeping up with every slang word out there, but I do know that “dgaf” is definitely going to top the skills list on my resume.

POLICE BEAT IT’S A

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

Closed doors

A UA student was transported from a fraternity to the University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication on Thursday.

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a fight in progress at a fraternity house. While other officers handled the physical altercation, another officer saw a student sitting on a couch just inside the house. The student appeared to be unresponsive.

As the officer began to approach the gate to enter the room the student was in, a man closed the gate and would not let the officer in. At this point, the officer noticed that the student was vomiting and sliding off of the couch. The officer told the man to open the gate again, but he said he didn’t know how.

The officer then saw the man, with the assistance of others, lift the student over his shoulder.

The officer said, “This is a police emergency. You need to open the gate now.” The man said he didn’t know how to open the gate.

The officer then climbed on to the gate to reach over and open it.

As the gate was opening, the officer saw the man taking the student over his shoulder to the courtyard of the fraternity. The door to the house was closed, and when the officer got to the entrance, two men stood in front of the door and said they would not open the door for the officer after being instructed to do so.

The student was leaving the officer’s view, so he called upon another man who was being interviewed by police regarding the fight and asked him to open the door. However, the man just looked at him and didn’t respond. Another man standing near the officer walked over and opened the door using the PIN pad.

As the officer and other officers began entering the house and walking toward the courtyard, the officer observed several people walking to the courtyard as well.

The officer saw another officer grabbing the student as she was being put down by the man that was holding her as he exited the house after dropping her. When the officer contacted the female student, he noticed she had very slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and smelled like intoxicants.

While being evaluated by the Tucson Fire Department, she told them she drank more than 10 shots at the fraternity that evening.

The student was transported to UAMC and sent to the Dean of Students Office for minor with liquor in body.

Once isn’t enough

A UA student was arrested from the Villa del Puente Residence Hall for possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia on Thursday.

Two UAPD officers responded to the residence hall after a residence assistant reported a strong odor of marijuana coming from the third floor.

The officers approached the area and could smell the odor immediately. When they approached the room, they could hear several people inside.

One of the officers knocked, and the resident of the room opened the door. There were also three other students in the room at the time.

The officer explained they were there because of the marijuana odor coming from the room. The resident said he had not been smoking marijuana inside the room.

The student then said, “I have some marijuana in here,” and gave the officer three glass jars, one with marijuana in it, rolling papers, a grinder, a torch and vaporizer pens. The officer took possession of the evidence.

The student told the officers he had been diverted earlier in the semester and had purchased the marijuana legally from California.

JASON TERRY is all smiles as he is recognized during the 2011 Red-Blue Scrimmage in McKale Center. Former Wildcats Terry and Nick Johnson are both on the Houston Rockets this year and will compete for minutes off the Houston bench.

Jason Terry gives the Houston Rockets just what they need this year

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

T

wo Wildcats from two very different eras of Arizona basketball will join up on the Houston Rockets this season.

Jason Terry and Nick Johnson are two of the best guards in Arizona history, but will have to fight each other for playing time off Kevin McHale’s bench.

Terry, a member of the 1997 National Championship team, has played 15 years in the NBA for four different franchises.He has been part of the Atlanta Hawks, Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets. In addition to winning an NCAA national championship, Terry was a member of the 2010-2011 NBA champion Dallas Mavericks squad and won the 2008-2009 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award.

Johnson, who was just drafted in the second round of the 2014 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets, played three years at Arizona under Sean Miller.

Johnson finished his Arizona career 24th on the all-time

scoring list with 1,333 points and led the Wildcats to a 33-5 record and Elite Eight berth in his final season.

Terry is the crafty, old vet, while Johnson is the young gun looking to make a name for himself.

For a Houston team looking to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season, playing Terry more than Johnson makes more sense.

Essentially, Houston has a winnow mentality that isn’t suited for a rookie.

Not that Johnson isn’t a valuable member of the Rockets, because he is; Terry just fits that win-now mentality better.

Just a handful of years ago, Terry averaged above 15 points per game and was a key bench cog on a NBA championship team. Since then, he’s struggled with knee issues and saw his scoring drop to a career low 4.5 points per game last year.

Anyone who has watched JET knows he’s a spark plug when healthy.

For a Houston team that finished 26th in bench scoring last season, which was down from 18th the year before, playing Terry for 20-25 minutes a game gives the team much needed 3-point shooting — and another player that defenses have to account for.

Nick Johnson’s youth and energy are perfect for the Houston Rockets bench unit

The Daily Wildcat

O

ver the summer, the Houston Rockets added two former Wildcats from vastly different eras: Jason Terry and Nick Johnson.

Terry, 37, is at the end of his career and played in the late ’90s for Arizona, and Johnson, a rookie, played last season for the Wildcats.

Terry won a national championship at Arizona, and Johnson is part of the early Sean Miller era when the Wildcats came close to the Final Four, but haven’t yet reached the promised land.

Ex-Wildcats that played under Miller are gradually replacing ex-Wildcats who played for Lute Olson, and the Terry-Johnson situation is no different.

While Terry was a better college player — he won national player of the year in

VS

— Follow Roberto Payne @HouseofPayne555

1999 and has had a storied NBA career that includes an NBA title and the 2009 Sixth Man of the Year — he’s nearing the end of his career.

Last season, he scored a career-low 4.5 points and missed the last half of the 20132014 season with a knee injury.

His role on the Rockets will be as mentor; some Houston players call him “Coach Terry.”

Johnson, who has a 41.5 inch max vertical, is on the incline. He’s still a bit short for shooting guard in the NBA and isn’t a natural point guard, but someone who can play defense, can rebound like he can and has his athleticism is sure to be a spark off the bench.

Johnson’s very valuable.

While he’s not really a combo guard, he did play point guard in college, most notably as a freshman in an overtime loss at No. 12 Florida.

Johnson’s still developing.

Last year, he added more offense to his game; he had games like the Sweet Sixteen against San Diego State where he scored 15 points in the last 2:45, and at Michigan where he made six free throws in the final 25 seconds.

One former Wildcat will soar for the Rockets — and it is bunnies, not JET.

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

The UA athletics department announced a $1 million donation by alumni Steve and Margot Kerr to help with McKale Center renovations on Tuesday.

Steve Kerr, a former Arizona men’s basketball All-American and now the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, said he hopes the gift will continue to allow Arizona to compete at an elite level.

“I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity I was given to be a part of such a special university,” Steve Kerr said in a press release. “This gift reflects my thanks and also my support for the future student-athletes who will come to Arizona to compete, study and shape their own lives moving forward.”

The ongoing renovation of McKale Center impacts 20 sports, including men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics, which all use the arena to host competitions. The Kerrs’ $1 million gift joins the lead $6 million donation from Cole and Jeannie Davis.

COURTESY OF MARGOT KERR

STEVE AND MARGOT KERR donated $1 million to the UA to help with the McKale Center renovation, according to Arizona Athletics.

Steve Kerr is among a handful of donors who have donated for the McKale Center renovations.

“We are excited that Steve and Margot have decided to show this kind of support for Arizona Athletics,” director of athletics Greg Byrne said in a press release. “Steve is one of the icons of our athletics department, and he has been such a great ambassador for this program throughout his professional career.”

McKale Center renovation is currently in Phase One, which

began in May. The renovation includes improved lighting, a new court and upgraded seating. Earlier this year, a new high-definition scoreboard as well as four 19-by-11 video screens were added to McKale Center.

“I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Steve and Margot for their incredible generosity and continued support

of our program,” men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller said in a press release. “Steve’s basketball career is extraordinary on so many levels.”

Steve Kerr played for Arizona in the 1980s, when the program transformed into a national powerhouse.

Behind his stellar shooting, the Wildcats reached their first-ever Final Four in 1988 and finished the season 353. Steve Kerr remains Arizona’s career leader in three-point field goal percentage with a .573 percentage.

After graduating from the UA, Steve Kerr went on to play in the NBA for 15 years, including stops in Chicago and San Antonio where he won a total of five championships.

Following his playing days, Steve Kerr was the general manager of the Phoenix Suns from 20072010.

Recently, Steve Kerr served as a commentator on TNT for both NBA and NCAA basketball before accepting the Golden State Warriors head coaching job in May. — Follow Ezra Amacher @EzraAmacher

Football should be thankful for bye

t wasn’t supposed to end like that.

All Arizona football needed was a chip shot, 36-yard field goal from the middle of the field by junior kicker Casey Skowron, who is 13-for-18 on field goals, 72.2 percent. Skowron already had gotten the Wildcats the ball back with another successful onside kick.

But the field goal attempt sailed far right, reminding Arizona fans of their kicking struggles since Nick Folk went to the NFL in 2007.

Last year, Jake Smith was 12-for-19, 63.2 percent. John Bonano was 14-for20 in 2012, 70 percent.

In 2011, three kickers combined to make 10, with Bonano doing the best at 8-for-12, 66.7 percent.

In 2010, Alex Zendejas was 14-for19, 73.7 percent, better than Skowron, but he also missed two extra points to hand ASU a win over UA and is universally reviled by UA fans. In 2009, Zendejas was 17-for-22, 77.3 percent.

The last kicker of Skowron’s quality the Wildcats had was Jason Bondzio, who was 14-for-16, 87.5 percent, but Skowron has already successfully

ARIZONA REDSHIRT junior kicker Casey Skowron (41) kicks a field goal during Arizona’s 28-26 loss against USC at Arizona Stadium on Saturday. Just one week removed from defeating then-No.2 Oregon on the road, Skowron and the Wildcats lost at home to an unranked USC team over the weekend.

USC JUNIOR defensive end Leonard Williams (94) tackles Arizona redshirt senior running back Terris Jones-Grigsby (24) during Arizona’s 28-26 loss against USC at Arizona Stadium on Saturday.

Willliams and the Trojans bounced back in a big way with a road win over Arizona last week.

BY JAMES KELLY

The Daily Wildcat

Last weekend was a rough one for kickers. Arizona junior Casey Skowron and Cincinnati Bengal Mike Nugent missed game winners and were roundly criticized, and former Denver Broncos kicker Matt Prater, who was cut last week, missed two field goals in his Detroit Lions debut.

No. 1 ASU swept Arizona hockey 4-1 and 3-0 over the weekend. The Wildcats have lost 39 of their last 40 games to the Sun Devils.

Despite having the highest payroll in sports history in North America, the Los Angeles Dodgers were bounced from the playoffs quickly. The St. Louis Cardinals won the National League Division Series against LA 4-1.

Florida State Jameis Winston’s eligibility may be in danger as he has allegedly been connected with the same autograph authentication business that was linked to suspended Georgia running back Todd Gurley. He also faces a disciplinary hearing on the allegations that he raped another FSU student.

While Arizona football was ranked in the top 10 and playing home, Las Vegas odds makers favored USC by 1.5 points. That was the first time since 1993 that a top-10 team was the underdog at home, and the Trojans won 28-26.

Arizona soccer upset No. 21 Washington State 4-1 in Pullman, Wash., last week. It was the Wildcats’ first win over the Cougars in 10 years.

Arizona football redshirt freshman quarterback Anu Solomon passed for 395 yards in the Wildcats’ loss to USC. Solomon is third in the nation in total offense, sixth in passing yards per game and seventh in total passing yards.

The Dallas Cowboys beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-23 in the Emerald City. The Cowboys have five in a row since losing their season opener to the San Francisco 49ers when quarterback Tony Romo was recovering from offseason back surgery.

converted two onside kicks.

Skowron is also a perfect 24-for-24 on point after touchdown attempts, which aren’t automatic. Just ask Zendejas.

Skowron was all set to exorcise those demons and move the Wildcats closer to a chance at the College Football Playoff, but the football gods denied Arizona yet again. It was heartbreaking.

Worse, USC iced Skowron twice, and UA fans turned on him. This could be a huge moment in his career: Does he recover? Or is he ruined like Zendejas was after his ASU debacle?

Remember, Zendejas was a good kicker before he became public enemy number one.

Being a kicker is one of the hardest jobs in sports. They wait around the whole game — playing a dozen plays at the most — and are expected to save the game.

A blown field goal can split a locker room.

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones blamed kicker Mike Nugent, who missed a 36-yard field goal try as the game ended, for their 37-37 tie on Sunday.

“Everybody in here gets paid to do a job and that’s what everybody needs to do,” Jones said.

Arizona seems to support Skowron, but who knows what’s going on in the locker room.

“I told [Skowron] he was still my boy, and I still love him,” UA redshirt senior wide receiver Austin Hill said. “Kickers tend to feel that all the weight’s on them, when he should’ve never been in that situation in the first place.”

Arizona’s last bye week of the regular season comes at a great time, as they can use the time to recover from their psychological wounds and heal from their physical ones.

The Wildcats lost their first two running backs, and while junior reserve Jared Baker ran for 43 yards on 12 carries in relief, Arizona’s offense is elite — No. 6 in the nation in total offense — because both the run and pass are threats. And though he may not have played like it, quarterback Anu Solomon is still a redshirt freshman.

If the Wildcats had to play Washington State this week, sandwiched between games with Oregon, USC and UCLA and with all the damage from last week, it would have been a tough trip to the Palouse, and the script would’ve been obvious.

Giving the ol’ razzle dazzle

No, this isn’t an episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” it’s an average day at the UA Ballroom Dance Club.

While there are a number of activity-based clubs to join at the UA, none have quite the same flair as the Ballroom Dance Club. With nearly 70 members and official recognition as a club sport, the Ballroom Dance Club offers dancing for people at any skill level.

“Everyone is free to join at any point during the year,” said Aaron Salazar, a physiology senior and president of the Ballroom Dance Club. “We are always happy to accept new members into the club and show them what we do.”

According to Salazar, the club offers both beginning and intermediate instruction every Monday from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. in the Ina Gittings Gym with lessons taught by Moses Ramos, the club’s ballroom instructor.

On Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m., the club offers lessons for new members to review with the advanced dancers and then hosts an open dance later in the evening.

“Open dance is a chance for everyone to get out there, ask whoever they would like to dance [with] and just practice and have fun with the music,” Salazar said.

Along with open dance on Wednesdays, the club also has open dance sessions on Sundays at 4 p.m. in the Student Recreation Center.

When the club isn’t holding its weekly meetings, the members are prepping for different dance competitions throughout the year. Their first competition is on Oct. 25 at Arizona State University, and will be followed by others at University of California San Diego and University of Nevada Las Vegas in the spring semester.

Despite the competition between schools, Elizabeth Studstill, club member and senior studying English and Italian language and literature , said the entirety of dressing up and

The UNLV competition is one of three competitions the UA Ballroom Dance Club attends every year.

preparing for a competition is what makes them an exciting experience.

“Two things I love [about the competitions] are the costumes and the spirit competition,” Studstill said. “For the girls in ballroom, dressing up for competition isn’t just for fun: One way to get the judges to notice you is to have a flashy dress and good ‘show’ makeup.”

Studstill said the spirit competition between schools is part of what makes the competitions bonding experiences between members as they cheer on and support each other.

“There’s an award at the end of the day for the most spirited school,” Studstill said, “so everyone has a lot of fun cheering on UA couples and sneaking UA spirit gear into our costumes.”

The UA Ballroom Dance Club accepts members all year, and the first lesson anyone attends is free. People can pay a nightly cost of $5, or pay dues if they decide to join.

Though the club meets Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays, don’t fret if you miss a lesson; the club records videos of every lesson to post on

Facebook and YouTube.

“I think ballroom is special because it encourages a closeness that I think other styles of dance might not touch on,” Studstill said.

“Almost all of my friends I know because I started ballroom my freshman year, so I owe the club a lot.”

Exhibit showcases Thug taking the radical Cuban posters gangsta out of

modern hip-hop

OWEN FOREST/THE DAILY WILDCAT

“THE SILKSCREEN REVOLUTION” is a new exhibit of Cuban poster art from the 1960s in the Student Union Memorial Center on Tuesday. A guided tour will take place today at 4 p.m. in the SUMC Union Gallery, located on the third floor.

Parallels through multimedia means. It like this have been noted by is a monthly series that occurs Anne Garland Mahler, assistant on any Wednesday of a given professor at the department month. “[The Confluencenter for of Spanish and Portuguese, C r e a t i v e through her I n q u i r y ] re s e a rc h I think I’m thought it on the the only would be a Tricontinental person on good idea to movement. have those campus who M a h l e r two [events] describes the has studied t o g e t h e r ,” Tricontinental this period Mahler said. movement in history T h i s as starting — Anne Garland sentiment in 1966 with Mahler, is shared by A f r i c a n assistant professor in Spanish and Confluencenter American Portugese staff. extremists “ W e making poster thought it art in Havana, Cuba.

Mahler said she got from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. After the gallery opening, Mahler will be involved with her current sharing her work beyond the research because she is from UA campus in a special “Show Birmingham, Ala., where there is & Tell” free event downtown at still a lot of segregation, despite The Daily Wildcat

having a history of civil rights movements. From witnessing the continued segregation of the community, Mahler said she began to take an interest in segregation and happened across the Cuban movement completely by chance when looking into the history.

“It’s an understudied period, especially the movement,” Mahler said. “I think I’m the only person on campus who has studied this period in history.”

Gray said it’s a great opportunity to meet fellow faculty across campus doing this type of research, and allows the public a chance to learn more about interdisciplinary research and discover new ways of thinking.

“I think the take away is being exposed to different histories and [enjoying] the different communities that Tucson has to offer between the UA and downtown,” said Jamie Manser, the communications and events coordinator for the Confluencenter. “Having [the event] in a non-traditional setting where you can have a cocktail and learn about history and art. I think that’s the takeaway.”

From the new breed of upand-coming rappers rising from the hip-hop hotbed of Atlanta, Young Thug stands out with his music, style and social media presence.

Thug rose to fame on the strength of his hit “Stoner” and has since been featured on a laundry list of songs, including the radio smash “Lifestyle.”

However, Thug is more than your average rapper who produces one hit before disappearing into COURTESY OF 1017 BRICK SQUAD RECORDS mediocrity.

His most recent mixtape is a photo of himself in a dress and collaboration between himself nail polish, as well as referring to and fellow Atlanta rapper Rich other men as “love” or “babe” on Homie Quan called “Tha Tour Instagram, rumors have spread Part 1.” The mixtape serves as about his sexuality.
