SAME LOVE

BY MEGHAN FERNANDEZ & ETHAN MCSWEENEY

The Daily Wildcat

When Chuck Gould and Michael Greenbaum heard the news that same-sex marriage was legal in Arizona, they rushed to Arizona Superior Court in Pima County in downtown Tucson Friday morning to get married. They have been together for nearly 24 years.

“I’m 76,” Greenbaum said. “I never thought I’d see the day.”

Same-sex couples in Arizona can now marry following Attorney General Tom Horne’s decision Friday not to appeal a federal judge’s ruling that Arizona’s same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional.

Horne said his decision to not appeal the ruling was based on legal considerations and not policy, according to a statement released on Friday.

“I have decided not to appeal today’s decision, which would be an exercise in futility, and which would serve only the purpose of wasting taxpayers’ money,” Horne said in his statement. “I am issuing a letter today to the 15 county clerks of court with the directive that based on today’s decision by the Federal District Court, they can issue licenses for same-sex marriages immediately.”

U.S. District Court Judge John Sedwick ruled Friday that the decision from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that same-

Campus religious groups split on same-sex marriage

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

Arizona was part of a historical tide on Friday, becoming the 31st state to officially recognize samesex marriage, and religious groups on campus are reacting.

The law went into effect on Friday after Attorney General Tom Horne announced he would not appeal a judge’s ruling striking down Arizona’s marriage restriction.

Joseph Moya, a biology freshman who practices Catholicism at the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center at the University of Arizona, said he does not support the legalization of same-sex marriage.

“Marriage belongs only in churches and not in the public sector,” Moya said. “Marriage originated in churches; we should have a nice separation between church and state.”

The government should be completely left out of anything that has to do with marriage, Moya said.

Moya said he would be in support of a civil union system, such as what England uses for same-sex couples,

in which a couple gets married through the court system.

“Marriage is a church thing,” Moya said. “It’s defined by the church, and it was originally made as an institution of the church, not of the government, so it should stay that way.”

Victoria Pereira, a freshman studying film and television production who also practices Catholicism, said she is happy Arizona now recognizes same-sex couples and their right to marry.

Candidates support marriage decision

Pereira, originally from New Jersey, said it is great that her home state and the state of her college both support it.

“Everyone should be able to be in love and get married,” Pereira said. “I have friends who are gay and bisexual. Them being able to one day get married to someone that they love is great.”

Joshua Mageau, a physiology sophomore, practices the Mormon religion under The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

For Mormons, marriage is defined by the document “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.”

The document states that “Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.”

Mageau is not in support of samesex marriage and said he believes it is a medical disorder.

“My personal views will always be

Attorney General Tom Horne decided not to appeal the samesex marriage ban in Arizona on Friday, and the candidates running for election this November have marked their positions on the ruling.

According to the Phoenix Business Journal, Republican gubernatorial candidate and current state treasurer Doug Ducey supports Horne’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage.

“Attorney General Horne made the right decision regarding an appeal,” Ducey said in a statement to the Phoenix Business Journal.

“I accept the determination of the courts and will honor their decision.”

Running against Ducey is the Democratic gubernatorial candidate Fred DuVal. He released a statement on his website applauding Horne’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage in Arizona.

“As Americans, our civil rights must never be denied,” DuVal said in the statement. “As Arizonans, we believe that liberty is a cause worth fighting for. This ruling sends an emphatic message that no one should be treated differently under the law because of who they are or who they love.”

DuVal also said that committed lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning couples planning to marry in Arizona should not have to worry about any political

that it is sinful and it is against God,” Mageau said. “We are a democracy, and I realize that what people want is what is going to pass in terms of the government and popular opinion.”

Rev. Beth Rambikur from First United Methodist Church of Tucson said their church is open, embracing and welcomes everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation.

“This is a fantastic victory for justice, for the state of Arizona.”

Rambikur said. “I am so excited for the couples in my church that will be impacted by this law, and excited for the state of Arizona, [which] has said that it’s willing to embrace all people as equals in this way.”

The United Methodist Church’s stance on the legalization of marriage is that all couples should be treated equally under the law, Rambikur said, but the United Methodist denomination holds the belief homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teachings.

The First United Methodist Church has agreed to disagree with the denominational stance from the Book of Discipline under the Methodist church.

“First United Methodist Church is an open and embracing church that says all couples are welcome here,” Rambikur said. “We want everyone to come regardless of orientation.

This church has declared itself as one of the many United Methodist Churches struggling with the discipline of the denomination.”

Rambikur said the legalization of

Police arrest suspect for Fourth St. homicide

BY FELIPE MORENO & MAX RODRIGUEZ The Daily Wildcat

The Tucson Police Department arrested a man Sunday morning in relation to a homicide that occurred Friday night near Fourth Avenue.

Graham Karber, 26, is the suspect

for the homicide of 29-year-old Amanda Vinson. According to a statement from TPD, Karber has been booked into Pima County Jail and charged with one count of firstdegree murder.

Karber and Vinson had been roommates in the same residence, police said.

TPD officers had been stationed for several hours outside a house on Fourth Street Saturday afternoon while looking for Karber.

Officers were outside the duplex house with addresses 411 and 413 E. Fourth St. The officers established a perimeter with boundaries from Fourth Avenue to Third Avenue, and

Fourth Street to Hoff Avenue.

Michael Spillman, a bystander near the scene of police activity, said the officers were responding to a tip that Karber was in the vicinity.

However, multiple bystanders said the police did not find anyone inside.

“They had literally cops everywhere with guns drawn for

hours,” said Lauren Gentzler, a bystander at the scene, “and then they [went] in, and when they came out, they found nothing.”

Michael Spillman said the suspect was not in the house.

A fire truck arrived at the scene at around 6:16 p.m., and firemen

Broken bottles, broken behaviors

BY Kyle mittan

Arizona Sonora News Service

Even in October, the desert southwest of Sells is a hot one.

On this clear Friday afternoon, rains from days ago have made the air cool and marginally humid, the plants lush and green.

But the unforgiving sun deceives anyone standing underneath, making the 80-degree temperatures feel closer to the triple-digit threshold.

Richard Pablo bats his way through thickets of leather-leaf acacia and staghorn cholla to collect brown glass bottles dotting the landscape. Some are exposed, others lodged in the dirt with their ends peeking through the surface. The quart-sized bottles — “Q’s,” as they’re called — once contained alcohol and used to go on for acres.

Arching his portly frame toward the ground, Pablo’s braided gray ponytail falls over his shoulder. He grabs one bottle and uses its neck to pry another out of the earth.

One in each hand, he taps them together, mouths aimed downward, inches from the ground. Sand, moist from the rain, flows out like liquid, darker than the surface dirt that couldn’t escape the sun. He sets these bottles down and empties two more before taking all four and tossing them into a pile nearby. The clatter echoes across the desert for yards.

The work is menial and tedious, but Pablo doesn’t mind. He likes the quiet. This far away from roads, the only noise comes from the calls of a cactus wren or the infrequent chopping overhead from a Border Patrol helicopter. He likes the time it gives him to just think.

Most of all, he likes that he’s cleaning up a mess he helped make.

Pablo’s work is only part of his larger story. Pablo is at the center of two issues that plague Native American reservations in the U.S.: alcoholism and environmentalism. He serves as an assistant for a project that collects abandoned beer bottles, breaks them down and recycles them into a cement.

In doing so, Pablo said he feels he’s making amends to problems his drinking caused to himself, his family and his tribe.

Pablo has a tendency to ramble, and, as he works, he’s mumbling to no one in particular with a signature drawl that’s slow and steady, just like his pace in the desert. He talks about his bout with alcoholism — he’s been sober since 2010 — and he talks about what the project helped him discover.

“Who would’ve thought that one minute I’d be sitting under a tree drinking all day, and the next I’d be picking up these bottles out here,” he asks with a laugh.

His inquiry is rhetorical; he may as well be asking the bottles.

An accident in a lab

On a fall day in 2002, David Stone was mixing chemicals in a lab on the third floor of the UA’s Shantz building. Just starting his doctoral studies in environmental sciences, Stone had a canister of 40-year-old silica powder and an idea. He planned to mix the silica with iron powder and water, hoping it would coat the iron and prevent it from rusting.

What Stone got was a mixture that hissed, steamed and spat, and eventually produced rust. But overnight, the mixture hardened.

“When I returned to the lab and realized how hard this material had become, I thought, ‘Oh, well there’s actually something perhaps useful about this,” he said.

The cement Stone invented by accident consumed his studies. He spent months conducting experiments to explain the reaction. It became the focus of his dissertation.

Stone likens his material to the very process of rust he was originally trying to prevent — the exposure of iron to water, oxygen or acid.

The red corrosive material creates a binding quality, and can make two pieces of iron adhere to one another.

Stone’s process is essentially a rusting process, but instead of exposing iron to water and air, it uses water and carbon dioxide.

When combined, the two elements create carbonic acid — seltzer water.

Every type of cement needs an aggregate, or, as Stone puts it, “the chunky stuff put in concrete.” Portland cement, used on sidewalks and driveways across the globe, uses gravel, sand or rocks. Stone’s uses crushed glass.

arrival meant no more shattering bottles by hand with a tamper.

The cement has been put to use in several areas, namely on a new patio addition at the Tohono O’odham Nation Cultural Center & Museum. The project covers a span 150 feet long and 22 feet wide. Stone estimates the project uses 90,000 pounds of his material.

That’s 60,000 pounds of glass that didn’t end up on another truck to Tucson.

A patent for Stone’s accident is on file at the UA’s technology transfer department.

In the last few months, he’s been jumping through hoops to get it signed to his name, a bureaucratic process he’s likened to “watching crabs in a bucket.”

On a drive through Sells in September, he talked about aspects of his project that haven’t come to fruition, even three years later.

“I came out here thinking I’d be building houses and buildings,” he said, sounding more disappointed than frustrated.

Red tape surrounding housing development on the Nation has meant that Stone’s plans to address the housing shortage with his cement have stalled, but he’s not giving up.

“I see their point, but do I agree? No. Do I see it as final? No,” he said. “It could happen down the line.”

The next hurdle Stone faces is funding for his program. The EPA liked it so much that it gave him grants for two more years after the first. But the agency has since chosen to move on to other possible projects.

When Pablo graduates from TOCC in May with an associate degree in liberal arts, he won’t be the first of his family to do so, but he’ll be one of few. He’s proud of his status as a student, never missing a chance to talk about the nearly 100 credits he’ll have earned. He has tentative plans to transfer to the UA, but he’s not sure what he’ll study.

After decades of struggle, school became Pablo’s way out, and he knows it’s his answer to avoiding a slip back into old habits or another dead-end construction job.

“Growing up, grade school felt so constricted,” he said. “Community college really opened up my mind — it became my dope. The instructors became, I guess, my dealers.”

Pablo’s time collecting bottles has taken him farther than he expected. In the last three years, he’s been to the District of Columbia five times to speak at conferences. Reno, once.

Phoenix.

Cleaning the desert has led to a cleaner conscience. It’s been key in helping him maintain his sobriety, but he said he knows it’s just the beginning.

“The glass is just the icing on the cake,” Pablo said.

“It’s just really kind of sad and sick,” she said.

sex marriage bans in Idaho and Nevada were unconstitutional applied to Arizona, invalidating the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.

Sedwick said in his ruling the similar bans were ruled unconstitutional because “they deny same-sex couples the equal protection of the law.”

With the decision made on Friday, Arizona has now become the 31st state to allow samesex marriage in the U.S. Same-sex couples rushed to Arizona Superior Court in Pima County in downtown Tucson to sign their marriage licenses.

Religious leaders from local churches were waiting outside the courthouse for the couples to perform marriage ceremonies.

Rev. Owen Chandler, senior minister at Saguaro Christian Church, said even if couples don’t come to the religious leaders for a wedding ceremony, they will still be there in support.

“We’re just happy to be the backdrop of the celebration,” Chandler said.

Chandler said “it just seemed surreal” when he first heard about the decision to strike down Arizona’s ban on same-sex marriage.

“To see it is actually really part of the full momentum of marriage equality,” he said.

Chandler, along with other ministers from different local churches, had been outside the courthouse since they first heard the news about the federal judge’s decision. He also said he was surprised there weren’t groups of people in opposition of the decision at the courthouse.

Laura Tenenholtz, a deputy clerk at Arizona Superior Court in Pima County, briefly took part in the celebration outside the court and said she has been with her partner for 11½ years.

“It’s about f*cking time,” Tenenholtz said.

Nancy Franklin-Hicks and Davin FranklinHicks were one of the first couples to go to the courthouse and receive their marriage licenses. They had a commitment ceremony in 2002, but said, lately, they were following the news closely to find out when Arizona would rule the same-sex marriage ban as unconstitutional.

The two had not been able to marry prior to Friday, because Davin Franklin-Hicks identified as a transgender man, but was still recognized as a woman by the state.

Newly married couples also look forward to the benefits they will receive now that the state recognizes their marriages.

Greenbaum said one of the first things he plans to do as a married man is contact his accountant so he and Gould can file joint taxes.

Gould said he has lived in Tucson since 1967 and recalled the gay men he met back then who never thought this day would come and have passed away since.

“I always think about those guys who didn’t get married,” Gould said.

interference.

“Marriage equality is a just cause,” DuVal said in the statement, “and now is the time for families to celebrate their newfound freedom.”

Both the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor support Horne’s decision, but Gov. Jan Brewer does not agree with the ruling.

“It is not only disappointing, but also deeply troubling, that unelected federal judges can dictate the laws of individual states, create rights based on their personal policy preferences and supplant the will of the people in an area traditionally left to the states for more than 200 years,” Brewer said in a statement.

DAILYWILDCAT.COM in Pima County. Gordon and Kraynak met in Columbus, Ohio, at the Unitarian Universalist Church.

Gordon and Kraynak had a union ceremony at the church in Ohio in 2003, but it wasn’t state-recognized.

“So, we’ve been waiting for this day for 10 years,” Gordon said.

The UA is working with the Arizona Board of Regents to study how the ruling will affect benefits for employees at the university, said Allison Vaillancourt, vice president for human resources and institutional effectiveness at the UA, in an email.

The Arizona Department of Administration could require couples seeking benefits to marry by Jan. 1 in order to receive those benefits, or the ADOA could offer a grace period, Vaillancourt said.

“We will communicate the expected impact to our employees very soon, once we learn more,” Vaillancourt said.

Chris Sogge, graduate assistant for LGBTQ Affairs at the UA, said the beginning of samesex marriage in Arizona benefits faculty and students at the UA. “Because as a state we’re recognizing marriage … that will end up bringing more acceptance of the LGBTQ people and will then ripple through into the systems and into their own specific institution,” Sogge said.

Gov. Jan Brewer voiced her disapproval of the decision to strike down the state’s same-

sex marriage ban. In a statement, she said the courts have “thwarted the will of the people.”

“It is not only disappointing, but also deeply troubling, that unelected federal judges can dictate the laws of individual states,” Brewer said.

Earlier this year, Brewer vetoed a religious freedom bill, known as SB 1062, that critics derided as discriminatory against LGBTQ people.

Congressional District, Democrat Ron Barber, is in support of Horne’s decision to legalize samesex marriage.

Barber released a statement that said the ruling is “a day that is long overdue,” and that he is proud Arizona has ruled for the right for each citizen to have the same rights and responsibilities he and his wife have shared.

“Love wins!” Barber tweeted.

“Historic day in #Arizona as our fellow citizens now have the right to make a lifelong commitment to the person they love!”

Barber also went to the courthouses on Friday to celebrate newly wed same-sex couples.

Barber’s opponent, Republican candidate Martha McSally, has not yet responded to the court’s ruling.

The decision also came on the last day of Coming Out Week at the UA, which brings visibility to resources available to the LGBTQ community at the university.

same-sex marriage in Arizona will directly affect three couples that currently visit her church, as well as a number of other individuals in their community who will now be able to celebrate their partnerships with their significant others.

“It’s an exciting place for Arizona to be in, in general,” Rambikur said, “because it is the law saying these couples have the right to get married, to be seen as each other’s spouses, they can adopt children. …

Those things are so essential, and I’m excited to see the state taking that stand.”

L

ast Friday, “Dear White People,” was released with as much potential to make white people feel uncomfortable as “12 Years a Slave.”

Written and directed by Justin Simien, a self-identifying gay black man who developed the idea for the film while existing as a “black face in a white place” at Chapman University, “Dear White People” is a satire that reads as too real to be ignored.

Centered on multiracial Samantha White, a female college student who hosts the biting radio show that lends the film its name, “Dear White People” debunks myths and refutes the notion that we live in a post-racial society.

Besides the obvious evidence that we don’t live in a post-racial society ­— Ferguson, St. Louis and literally anywhere else­— satire has never seemed more serious.

The main plot of the film focuses on an annual party thrown at fictional pseudoivy Winchester University. The party, which encourages racial stereotypes explicitly by requesting that “dudes must rock Fubu, Ecko, Rocawear or Sean John” and the ladies should wear “huge hoop earrings, long nails and cheap, tight clothes,” would be easier to swallow if it hadn’t already happened at ASU this year.

In January, Tau Kappa Epsilon, already on probation regarding an incident in 2012, threw an off-campus party where attendees were told to dress like thugs and drink out of watermelon cups. The worst part? It was a Martin Luther King Jr. Day-themed party. Kids hashtagged things like #blackoutformlk and #hood.

White people, ever unreceptive to discussions about racism, need a stern talking-to. With “Dear White People,” Simien faces the challenge head-on.

In the film, a black man, Dean Fairbanks, barks at the main character that “[her] show is racist.” Samantha White responds, “Black people can’t be racist. Racism describes a system of disadvantage based on race.” The far more common occurrence of this encounter is between a person of color and a white person.

“You’re reverse-racist,” says the kid from Vermont, who spent every summer growing up at a country club being waited on, to someone calling him out on his casual racism.

The refusal to recognize anti-black racism as a problem — as a thing on a far different level and with a far different history than any casual insults directed at white people — is in large part the reason events such as ASU’s “MLK Black Party” and University of California, San Diego’s Compton Cookout still occur.

In two of the PSAs put out to accompany “Dear White People,” black people are coached on how to fake their way through pretending they watched the BET Awards or the latest episode of “Scandal.”

“Are you black but not ‘black’ black?,” asks the host of a Dear White People YouTube short. “I get it. Things can get awkward when you are expected to participate in certain cultural touchstones, even though you don’t really care. You know you need to front, but how? Don’t worry. I got you.”

The joke is that people shouldn’t have to justify their racial identity by proving their affinity with racial stereotypes. Ha. Ha. Racial stereotypes are still a thing, and perpetuating them — even if you think you’re well-intentioned (referring to your token black friend as the N-word is not) — is all sorts of wrong.

“I’m really looking at people whose post-racial bubble is yet to be popped,” Simien told The New York Times. “I want this to be part of a cross-cultural conversation they’ve never had before.

Our movie couldn’t have come out at a better time.”

We weren’t around for “Do the Right Thing” or “Boyz n the Hood,” but we’re alive for “Dear White People” and should embrace it. We are not post-racial.

endorsements

Yay or nay: ballot props The Daily Wildcat editorial board makes its picks for four propositions to vote on this election period. Editorials are written by Jacquelyn Oesterblad, Katelyn Kennon, Ethan McSweeney and Joey Fisher.

Prop 122: No Proposition 122 would allow Arizona voters and the state legislature the ability to “opt-out” of federal laws they decide are unconstitutional. Proponents say this would enable the state to stop bad laws from being enacted by exercising its sovereignty.

In spite of their intentions to protect the Constitution, the writers of Proposition 122 skirt constitutionality themselves.

Federal courts have always been the ones to interpret the U.S. Constitution and decide whether laws passed by Congress are constitutional or unconstitutional.

This is not something that should be in the hands of Arizona state legislators or voters to decide for themselves. The state’s opinion of a bad federal law does not negate its responsibility to enforce it, and the voters’ popular beliefs have no bearing on constitutional law. We should leave the judging to the judges and the legislating to the legislature. This proposition erodes the division of powers that is at the very center of the constitution.

Should this proposition pass, lawsuits will follow, which will only serve to waste taxpayer money on a long-winded court fight to discover that Proposition 122 is unconstitutional. Arizona’s taxpayers should save their change and reject this proposal.

Prop 303: No Proposition 303, also called the “Right to Try,” would give terminally ill patients the right to acquire and use experimental drugs, which may or may not improve the quality and extend the length of patients’ lives, but which are still unapproved by the Food and Drug Administration.

The Prop stipulates that the unapproved drug must be recommended by the patient’s doctor and that the drug can only be recommended after patients have taken all other available recourse against their illness.

Though a patient-centered “compassionate use” law would be ideal for terminally ill Arizonans trying to wade through red-tape bureaucracy, 303 isn’t it.

The proposition allows patients to use drugs that have only completed — not necessarily passed — Phase 1 of the FDA’s approval process. Such drugs have not yet

been tested for effectiveness. They haven’t even been tested on humans with the illnesses they may or may not alleviate.

Phase 1 drugs have only demonstrated that they do not exhibit “unacceptable toxicity” in animals or in healthy volunteers.

In a recent op-ed in The Arizona Republic, 50 Arizonan doctors signed a letter asking voters to say “no” to Proposition 303, writing that only 6 percent of the drugs that complete a Phase I trial will be found to be effective.

The FDA’s current policies already allow for some use of unapproved drugs — though without compelling data, they prefer not to disseminate those drugs that have not yet passed Phases 2 and 3, thus proving competence against a specific illness.

Granted, as some 303 supporters have pointed out, the existing system for what the FDA calls “emergency use of an investigational drug” can be drawnout and tedious. But The Wall Street Journal reports that the agency says it has approved 99 percent of all received “compassionate use” cases since 2009. In 2013, one third of those approved cases were considered emergencies, meaning that the experimental drug in question could be shipped to patients by a willing company even before the patients’ written requests were approved by the FDA. For obvious reasons, the terminally ill are an extremely vulnerable population, without means or time to waste. Though the FDA’s system could certainly be tweaked or retooled to reflect that, as it stands, the agency is providing more protection and aid to dying Arizonans and their families than a complete approval circumvention, without any burden of proof, would.

We’d hate to see a law implemented that was really more concerned with using the sick and dying as a platform for rejecting federal dictates than with the health, wellbeing and freedoms of a very disadvantaged group.

Prop 304: No Proposition 304 is a referendum that would raise the salaries of Arizona state legislators by $11,000 from the current salary level of $24,000 to $35,000.

While $24,000 seems a fairly paltry amount for a job as prestigious as “legislator,” it is worth noting that the state legislature only met for about three months this year. That’s a part-time wage for a parttime job.

Supporters of Proposition 304 argue that it simply adjusts legislator’s wages for inflation. When we see the minimum wage adjusted for inflation, that argument might hold a bit more weight with us.

For now, though, we think Arizona legislative pay is just fine. When compared to other states, Arizona pays its legislators around the median range. Our neighbor to the east, New Mexico, only compensates its legislators with a $154 per diem.

Arizona will have a $1 billion deficit in 2017, according to projections from the legislative budget office. When Arizona is running this large of a deficit and state legislators are embarrassing Arizona again this year (SB 1062), it isn’t reasonable to reward state legislators with a nearly 50 percent pay increase.

A more reasonable pay increase is likely necessary in the future, but now is not the time.

Prop 415: Yes Proposition 415 asks voters for $22 million in bonds to expand and renovate the Pima Animal Care Center main facility.

Practically, this means that secondary property taxes for homes valued at about $150,000 a year would, because of this law, amount to $2.83 more a year over the next four years; that’s only 24 cents a month.

The shelter boasts an impressive list of accolades. It’s the only open-admission animal shelter in Pima County, the top adoption agency in Southern Arizona in the last fiscal year and the only agency in the county that enforces state and local laws regarding animal care.

Despite all these roles and responsibilities, the Shelter now accepts around 24,000 animals each year, a number that the shelter estimates is about 2.5 times the capacity it was originally built for in 1968. This overcrowding means many stray animals have to be euthanized; there’s simply no space for them.

The new expansion, doubling the shelter’s size, would allow it to adopt a no-kill policy.

The $22 million would also go to building a dedicated adoption center and better veterinary clinics, with built-in spay-andneuter initiatives. The shelter is interested in combatting the county’s overpopulation of strays, as well as dealing compassionately with the animals that result.

At 24 cents a month, why wouldn’t we reward the aging, hardworking shelter and save our furry friends?

POLICE BEAT

BY ARIELLA NOTH

The Daily Wildcat

A house divided… and trespassed

A UA student and a non-UA-affiliated individual were cited and released on Oct. 13 for criminal trespassing.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was dispatched to the Arizona Stadium around 3 a.m. in reference to two individuals on the football field. Upon arrival, the officer saw two individuals sitting in the southeast corner of the stadium.

As the officer approached the individuals, they came down the ramp toward him.

The officer made contact with both, who verbally identified themselves. One was a UA student and the other stated he was a student at Arizona State University. The UA student was holding an open can of Four Loko, approximately half-full. The individual not affiliated with the UA was holding an open bottle of Olde English 800, also approximately half-full.

The individuals had slurred speech and emitted an odor of intoxicants from their breaths.

When asked how they got into the stadium, one of them pointed at the southeast gate entrance and said, “We jumped the fence down there.”

The officer took them to the gate they had gestured to and made a note of the no trespassing sign. The individuals were escorted out of the stadium.

Both were cited and released for criminal trespassing. The UA student was also cited and released for minor in possession of liquor in body and was referred to the Dean of Students Office.

“A”-peeling

An 18-foot “A” was stolen from Old Main between Oct. 6 and Oct. 10.

A UAPD officer responded on Oct. 13 in reference to a report of theft at Old Main.

The officer met with the reporting party on the east side of Old Main, on the farthest west portion of the UA Mall. At this location, there is a spot where two brick pathways intersect, and according to the reporting party, it was the former location of a large 18-by-18 vinyl, red, white and blue block letter “A.” The “A” had been made and purchased for the ribbon cutting of Old Main that occurred on Oct. 8. The reporting party informed the officer the “A” had been installed on the pathway two days prior to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The “A” was described as being attached to the pathway with a strong adhesive and was designed to endure the wear and tear of being outside. The officer was informed that Facilities Management Grounds Services employees noticed it was missing on Oct. 10.

The reporting party told the officer the “A” would not have been too hard to remove from the ground. It would simply need to be peeled off. For a reference as to how long it would take, the reporting party told the officer one person alone could have it removed in 30 minutes.

The reporting party also noted, however, that the removal of the “A” would have stretched out the material, distorting it. It was noted that the “A” was approximately $1,800.

There were no cameras in the area and no suspect information was known. A victims’ rights form was completed and sent to the university.

MEN’S BASKETBALL 11/9 vs. Cal Poly Pomona

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

T

he annual Red-Blue Game showcased the new renovations in McKale Center and what could be a considerably different product on the court. Men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller’s returnees showed much of the same skill, and the newcomers made an early impact in front of the McKale Center crowd.

Freshmen Dusan Ristic and Stanley Johnson led the Blue team as the top two scorers. Stanley Johnson, a highly touted recruit and likely replacement for Nick Johnson, was expected to stand out, but Ristic was the real surprise.

The 7-footer from Serbia was matched up against junior Kaleb Tarczewski throughout, and Ristic definitely won that battle. Ristic finished with 14 points and two rebounds on 7-8 shooting from the field, while Tarczewski ended up with 11 points and nine rebounds, most of which came from the free-throw line and not against Ristic.

Ristic displayed noticeable touch and fluidity around the basket, which is incredibly rare for an international freshman. He showcased several post moves, such as a hook over his right shoulder and a mini up-and-under move.

While it’s too early to say for sure, Miller may have found a diamond in the rough in Ristic. But, in classic Miller fashion, he downplayed Ristic’s performance after the game.

“Dusan is ahead of the game on offense. … Defensively is where he’s playing catch-up,” Miller said.

Stanley Johnson ended up leading all players with 17 points and displayed his physicality on numerous occasions. His 6-foot-7, 245-pound frame punished wing defenders throughout and showed how hard he will be to guard.

There was one play where T.J. McConnell attempted to get in the way of Stanley Johnson on a fast break opportunity. McConnell was called for a foul and ended up on his back on the new McKale Center floor, while Stanley Johnson stayed upright.

“He’s a matchup nightmare,” McConnell said. “When he gets out in transition, it’s pretty much like a freight train coming at you. I kind of got out of the way on one, because I didn’t want to end up in the hospital.”

To put his size into perspective, Stanley Johnson weighs the same as Tarczewski, despite standing 5 inches shorter. In essence, he’s a grown man at the age of 18.

Where the newcomers shined, the returnees showed improvement over last year and played almost nonchalantly.

In his first game action since his season-ending injury against California last year, Brandon Ashley

played 20 minutes and scored seven points. In-between a few solid moves, Ashley was quiet overall and seemed to have some jitters. This was likely the reason behind Ashley finishing with more turnovers (four) than made field goals (three). The trio of McConnell, Tarczewski and sophomore forward Rondae HollisJefferson led the Red team to victory, combining for 32 of Red’s 53 points.

All three will be counted on this season, and all three showed improvement from last year.

Specifically, McConnell and HollisJefferson were impressive.

The fun-loving Hollis-Jefferson was 5-6 from the field and easily could have had more if he wanted to. Hollis-Jefferson could not only be Arizona’s best player but also its most important player.

His importance as a spark plug last season was huge, but that was behind Aaron Gordon. He’ll have to step into that role left by Gordon that includes guarding the best perimeter player, running the floor and finishing with authority.

Playing against what is almost certainly the best team in the country, Arizona soccer (9-4-1, 3-3-0) was blasted 6-0 against No. 1 UCLA on Friday night in Los Angeles. On what was Senior Night for one of the best classes in UCLA women’s soccer history, the Bruins, making their last appearance in a home game, led the way for UCLA scoring four of the team’s six goals.

Despite the lopsided final score, the game actually looked competitive for a while.

UCLA was only up a goal at half after the Bruins’ Taylor Smith dribbled through the Wildcat defense and scored on a nice give and go with one of her teammates in the 37th minute. Arizona’s offense could not produce any quality looks and were held to only a single shot before heading into the locker room.

In the first half alone, UCLA outshot Arizona 10-1.

The Arizona men and women’s cross country teams struggled on Friday against a loaded field at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational.

Facing a host of ranked schools, both the men and women finished in 32nd place.

There were 38 teams competing on the men’s side and 40 on the women’s side.

Vball splits Washington schools

Arizona volleyball lost to a third top-3 team of the season, undefeated Washington, 3-1, at home on Sunday.

On the women’s side, senior Kristina Aubert was once again Arizona’s top finisher, this time

”

coming in 65th place with a 20:49 time in the 6,000-meter race.

The next Wildcat to finish was senior Stephanie Bulder, who came in 146th place with a time of 21:38. Senior Amanda Russell finished right behind Bulder, also with a 21:38 time.

Junior Molly Callahan finished eight seconds later, and senior Kate Penney rounded out the Arizona scorers with a time of

22:10.

The women finished with 710 points. Michigan State won the race with 87 points, and Arkansas placed second with 191.

“We’re just not getting it done, and we have to do a better job,” Li said in a press release. “It was not a good race, and it seemed like we were running scared.”

The Adidas Invitational also featured a “B” race on both the

men and women’s sides.

For the men, freshman Michael Godbout placed 72nd overall, while junior Dylan Hopper came in 76th. In the women’s “B” race, freshman Claire Green took 28th place, while junior Daylee Burr finished 67th overall.

Arizona gets right back into the action this week when it travels to Tempe to compete in the ASU Invitational on Thursday.

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 6

Luckily for Hollis-Jefferson, his 3-point stroke should be much improved. He won’t turn into a 3-point specialist but, after shooting thousands of shots this summer, Miller said, his shot looks more fluid.

Add in McConnell’s steady play and it’s clear Arizona can win a national championship this year, health permitting, of course. Miller praised McConnell after he said that, no matter the situation, he trusts the returning point guard at all times.

However, the biggest takeaway from the Red-Blue Game was the incredible depth Miller and company have at their disposal this year. Miller talked about possibly even rotating the starting lineup, which would be far different from last year’s consistent starters.

It’s a bit early to say for sure that this team can go 10 deep, but all indications are that the rotation will be deeper this year.

Miller added the rotation is not yet set, and he’s not sure how or when exactly it would be set.

“I believe we have more balance in our scoring,” Miller said.

“Brandon is a double-figure scorer, Kaleb is right on the fringe of being a double-figure scorer, T.J. can get 10 points per game, Gabe [York] can shoot the basketball, Rondae you’ve mentioned. I think we have a balanced attack in our scoring, and it can come from a variety of ways. I would be shocked if we didn’t have four or five players in double figures. … If we’re clicking, that’s how our offense should look.”

Just imagine if Nick Johnson and Gordon had stayed. It’s almost scary to think how much more talented this already talented team would be.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships ASU does NOT have it's very own sexually transmitted infection. Wildcats get the same STIs that Sun Devils do.

Q

Does “Friends with Benefits” work?

A. Friends With Benefits (FWB) means different things to different people. To most UA students, an FWB is someone you know (and perhaps trust) to have sex with. No strings attached.

There is no commitment and no title like “lover” or “partner.” The FWB may be more of an acquaintance than someone in your circle of friends. And, your FWB may be a secret relationship that your closest friends don’t even know about.

The advantages of having an FWB are primarily sexual. You have someone to “hook up” with, but without all the time, obligation, energy, and stress that may accompany a relationship.

When you have an FWB, you are free to experiment and enjoy the pleasure without most of the pain; unless one of you develops feelings and emotions – which often happens.

Feelings seem to be the most likely disadvantage that may result from an FWB arrangement. One person may want a more emotionally intimate relationship. Another person may develop a liking, even love, for their

sex buddy. If the feelings aren’t reciprocated, someone can end up feeling used. Because FWBs are free to sleep with other people, it’s not uncommon for feelings of jealousy to arise.

The disadvantages also include greater exposure to sexual risks. Some people feel safer with a FWB because they think they “know” them better than a stranger they just met at a party. Having a sex buddy doesn’t guarantee safer sex. If your FWB has several other sex buddies (the ones they keep secret from you in order to spare all those potential feelings), you can expect more exposure to sexually transmitted infections such as herpes, chlamydia, genital warts, and more.

Having sex with an FWB only works well as long as both people play by the same accepted ground rules: the “relationship” is about sex and convenience without commitment or emotional intimacy. For many, these terms may feel like an unacceptable substitute for companionship. No matter what kind of relationship you are in, the best way to avoid hurt feelings and complicated emotions is to be clear about your expectations from the start.

Latino music theme of weekend festival

BY CHELSEA COOK The Daily Wildcat

C

oncerts, symposiums and films filled two full days of the UA School of Music’s seventh annual “Music + Festival” this past weekend.

Each year, the festival selects pieces around a certain theme, and the songs selected this year have all been composed by Latin American artists. According to the School of Music, the pieces performed this weekend were from four unique composers: Heitor Villa-Lobos, Alberto Ginastera, Carlos Chavez and Silvestre Revueltas. The artists represent different Latin American countries, showcasing the different nuances found in their countries’ music.

The festival was directed by Daniel Asia, a professor for the School of Music, and co-directed

by Odaline de la Martinez, an international conductor who holds the distinction of being the first woman to conduct a BBC Promenade concert in the Royal Albert Hall of London. Raised in Tucson and New Orleans, Martinez returned home this weekend amidst her busy career traveling the world and performing in symphonies.

On Saturday, most of the groups performing were student ensembles — students from the School of Music who play a wide array of different instruments.

Christine Yi, a music performance sophomore who has been playing the saxophone for nine years, is one of the many students to have

participated in the festival.

“I believe that the main purpose of having this festival is to promote the enriching culture of Latin America through the art of music,” Yi said.

This was Yi’s first year participating in the Music + Festival, but she said she chose to participate because playing

another culture’s music can be like taking a step into another country and exploring its culture.

Latin music is noticeably different from other genres, Yi said, because it is free and exciting; it has a beat that gives everyone the urge to stand up and dance. Each of the pieces performed this weekend were unique and had a compelling

local concerts to see this month

story behind it. For instance, Yi said the piece “Sensemayá” by Silvestre Revueltas is based on the Afro-Cuban chant performed right before the killing of a snake.

“The driving rhythm and changing meter make this piece really thrilling and exciting,” Yi said.

Cory Driscoll is another student who performed in the weekend

festival. A graduate student who has played the trumpet for 16 years, Driscoll said one of the greatest things about music is how diverse it is around the world and how it has educational value for learning about another culture.

Through this experience, not only was the audience able to learn about other cultures, but the musicians were also able to enhance their knowledge of Latin American countries.

“I have learned several things about Latin America,” Driscoll said. “Its people, poetry, dancing, musicality and so much more.”

The countries represented at the festival included Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, but the cultures depicted in the music were countless.

Some of the pieces played include “Sexteto Místico,” “Antígona,” “First Little Serious Piece” and “Bachianas Brasileiras.”

Although most of the weekend consisted of concerts, the film “Redes” was also shown in the Center for Creative Photography on Sunday night to wrap things up. The film is directed by Emilio Gómez Muriel and Fred Zinnemann, and was accompanied by music from Silvestre Revueltas.

The festival was not only a learning opportunity for participating musicians. But it was also an experience that allowed the audience to be immersed in cultures they may never have been exposed to before.

I actually got them at ModCloth.

Who or what inspires your style?

I’m an artist, so I get my inspiration from photography and vintage ’80s, ’70s style.

What do you usually wear on a relaxing day?

Sometimes, like, a comfy dress or a button-down with jeans and flats.

Edgy and casual.

What do you feel the most comfortable in, out of all your clothes?

THE RIALTO THEATRE will be hosting many upcoming concerts in October. The Rialto Theatre is just a short trip downtown for UA students looking for a way to spice up their week.

October is the month to see alternative, unqiue and unordinary musical acts around town

BY LINDSEY STEGEMOLLER

The Daily Wildcat

Tucson has a lot of great artists coming through for shows at many different venues near campus. These concerts are a great way to escape campus and an opportunity to get together with friends for some good music. The following artists will all be in Tucson through the end of the month, and there is a variety of choices for every kind of musical taste.

1.

Goatroper, Ape Machine, and The Burning of Rome will be at The Flycatcher on Monday at 9 p.m. This will be a lively concert due to the music variety. From country music to punk rock, the diverse music presented by these different groups will be blasting all night.

Three bands in one night for a $5 cover — a good concert to see if you want to get your money’s worth.

2.

Ray LaMontagne will be at the Fox Tucson Theatre on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

This is a highly-anticipated concert due to the fame the singer has recently received. He has a unique vocal style, and he writes all of his own songs. This is definitely a concert to see if you have the money for it. The tickets are priced fairly high, around $42 to $108, but the concert should be worth it.

3.

The Wanda Junes will be at The Flycatcher on Saturday at 8 p.m. The band is fairly unknown; there are not many reviews,

and there are only a few videos here and there.

However, the band’s hype has been building in Tucson, and the concert should be an exciting surprise for many fans of underground music and concerts. The price is $5.

4.

Jimmy Eat World and the Minibosses will be at The Rialto Theatre on Oct. 29; doors opens at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m. Jimmy Eat World is famous for songs such as “The Middle” and “Sweetness” from the early 2000s. The Minibosses are a progressive rock band originally from Massachusetts. They are perhaps best known for their video game music covers. This concert promises to be very upbeat, and if anyone wants a throwback to the better years, then Jimmy Eat World and the Minibosses should be a nostalgic experience.

Tickets are $22 to $32.

5.

Chicha Dust and DJ Dirtyverbs will be at Hotel Congress on Oct. 31 at 8 p.m.

Instead of handing out candy to toddlers this Halloween, consider checking out this psychedelic rock band based out of Tucson.

Chicha Dust is known for its lively and loud Cumbia style of music. DJ Dirtyverbs plays beats from around the world for a “global club” feel. This will definitely be a great show to see for any students interested in music with some foreign flavor. Tickets are $5.

What do you wear to class?

It’s usually the same, but I do attempt to get ready in the morning, because it wakes me up. I like to get dressed up instead of wearing basketball shorts and a T-shirt, even though I would love to do that sometimes.

What do you wear when you’re at home watching Netflix?

I’ll throw on some Soffe shorts, some high socks and a T-shirt.

Who or what is your style inspiration?

I go on Tumblr and look for certain things, and I’ll apply one of those aspects into what I already have.

How would you edge up an outfit for an interview?

The shoes. You still have to dress up professionally for an interview and somewhat [conservatively], but with shoes, you can do more than the regular black flat.

Kate Mohn,

film and television production freshman Where are you going dressed like this?

To [Einstein Bros Bagels] for a bagel and IQ [Fresh] for a smoothie.

How would you describe your style?

Ever-changing, it’s never the same.

What is your favorite thing in your closet?

I really enjoy this flannel that I wear all the time, but it’s been too warm lately. It’s this black, white and red flannel that I love around my waist or on my shoulders, tied in front.

Where did you get your hat?

This fair called Folklife back in Seattle. It’s this big fair with music, stores and little shops. This hat was handmade.

What do you usually wear to class?

It changes a lot, but I really enjoy high-waisted shorts that I wear all the time.

What do you feel most comfortable in?

Workout clothes. I love working out, so spandex and a loose tank top.
