Arizona’s minimum wage will increase to $8.05 per hour starting in January 2015.

The change is a 15-cent increase from the previous wage at $7.90 and 80 cents higher than the federal minimum wage at $7.25.

The increase in minimum wage is part of Proposition 202, approved by Arizona voters in 2006, which calls for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to increase the minimum wage to the nearest 5 cents based on increases in the cost of living.

The commission has raised the state minimum wage by $1.30 in the last seven years. The last raise came in January 2014 when the minimum wage went up from $7.80 to the current $7.90.

Arizona is one of 13 states to adjust their minimum wage, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Colorado, Nevada, Montana, Florida and Missouri are among the six states that also adjust their minimum wage based on increases in the cost of living. Additionally, Oregon, Vermont and Washington adjust minimum wage rates for inflation based on the U.S. city average consumer price index.

According to the Pew Research Center, 4.3 percent of the U.S. workforce earns the federal or below the federal minimum wage. Almost half of those workers are between the ages 16 and 24 and work in the leisure and hospitality industry, and about 64 percent are parttime workers.

The UA is not required to abide by the Arizona minimum wage, but instead must abide by the federal minimum wage, which is $7.25 per hour, said Michelle Meyer, payroll manager at the UA. Meyer added that in recent years, the UA has chosen to

A group of students protested outside the Administration building on Friday regarding the disappearance of 43 students in Mexico.

The group held up signs with the faces of some of the missing students and chanted, “You took them alive, bring them back alive!”

Eric Avila, a graduate student studying Spanish, said students from around campus, such as the department of Spanish and Portuguese, rallied to protest injustices by the Mexican government. According to Avila, the main focus of the protest was the disappearance of the 43 students.

Avila also said the disappearance

was believed to be conducted by the Mexican government and that most likely, the students were already dead. This belief stems from mass graves found near Iguala, Mexico, containing 28 bodies that appeared to have been burned alive and are currently undergoing forensic investigation to see if they match the missing students.

Mass graves like these are common and have been seen the past eight years, Avila said.

According to a report from CNN, citizens were calling for Gov. Angel Aguirre’s resignation. The report stated that Aguirre wanted to step down so there would be more time devoted to solving the case of the missing 43 students.

“From the very first hours” of the disappearance, Aguirre told

Yik Yak, a new social media app, is taking over the UA campus and causing students to question if the app is for entertainment or bullying.

According to an email statement from Cam Mullen, lead community developer for Yik Yak, the app is used by 22 percent of the UA student body, and someone on campus posts on the app about every 60 seconds.

Users can anonymously post a 200-word statement or picture — what the app calls a “yak.” Users are able to upvote or downvote the post based on what they feel is most appropriate.

Yik Yak was created by cofounders Tyler Droll and Brooks Buffington after they graduated college. The app was intended to let people communicate in the community around them, primarily college students.

Mullen said Yik Yak allows all types of people from around campus to communicate on the same level.

“People from completely different friend groups are talking on Yik Yak that may never talk in the real world,” Mullen said.

Students on the UA campus have mixed feelings about the use of Yik Yak, and are using

The Arizona Board of Regents recently changed its definition of consent in the Student Code of Conduct, stating that silence is no longer an inference for consent.

The new policy has been sweeping the nation as many universities are choosing to change their consent policies to what is popularly known as “Yes means Yes.” However, this title may be misleading in regard to the Arizona public universities.

According to the Code of Conduct, the definition of consent when related to a sexual situation is: “informed and freely given words or actions that indicate a willingness to participate in mutually agreed upon sexual activity.” The definition then goes into circumstances or actions that do not allow for sexual consent.

“It would not be accurate to say that only a verbal ‘yes’ is considered consent,” said Sarah Harper, director of public affairs with the board of regents. Harper said the board wanted to provide clarity regarding consent as a part of the Code of Conduct.

The position on the policy was intended for students to gain a better understanding of what sexual consent means and how to properly consent. Harper said she believes it will inform students about consent.

“The board regularly reviews all of its policies and believes the Student Code of Conduct would be enhanced by adding a definition of consent … which was not included in the pervious version,” Harper said.

The new definition also states that someone who is “incapacitated” may never give consent. No matter the circumstances, anyone

Isidro Luis, a graduate student studying Spanish, said the problem is the violence in Mexico. She added that the protest is being done in conjunction with others occurring throughout Mexico and other countries, and the purpose is to show solidarity as well as demand answers from the Mexican government.

Avila said the Mexican government has been making deals that only benefit those higher up in society, such as deals with drug cartels, and that this has caused violence in poorer parts of Mexico in the last eight years.

He added that at the moment, people are trying to overthrow the system peacefully, a system that is causing the distress occurring in those poorer regions.

“The Mexican government has always given the very good appearance that Mexico is going to be a first-world country,” Avila said, “but in reality, only the highest sectors of the social classes are the ones who benefit, and the lowest classes, right now, are literally drowning in their own blood because of the deals with the cartels.

[And] there are some parts in the south of Mexico where the mayors and the cartels are actually the same thing, and any [kind] of protest is met with death.”

Officials discuss marijuana legalization

BY TANIA MASHKOORY

Arizona Sonora News Service

With marijuana use becoming more accepted in the U.S. and the legalization of it in Washington and Colorado, it is only legal to 50,000 Arizona residents.

That could change in the years ahead.

The Marijuana Policy Project of Arizona is pushing for the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana in 2016 to be voted on the next big election round.

In 2010, Arizona enacted the law to allow for medical marijuana.

Two years later, the first dispensary opened in Phoenix. Arizona is one of the 24 states that allows for the medical usage of marijuana.

The qualifications to receive a medical card in Arizona are much stricter than California. A doctor’s recommendation will provide a medical marijuana card in California. Proof of a severe illness such as cancer, HIV, AIDS, glaucoma and so on is required to obtain a medical card in Arizona.

Although the medical laws are starting to slowly change in regards to marijuana, the legal laws are not. The Arizona County Attorney and Sheriff’s Association opposes the legalization. It argues that marijuana is addictive, harmful to the adolescent brain, can lead to mental illnesses and risky behaviors.

Sgt. Chris Widmer of the Tucson Police Department states that law enforcement officials are still enforcing the same rules that they always have.

“I don’t believe that the attitude law enforcement officials have toward marijuana has changed much,” Widmer said. “The consequences of getting caught with it illegally are still the same as before.”

Widmer said that further decisions about the legalization of marijuana in Arizona depends on how the other states that legalize it handle it.

“We are seeing a lot of people

COURTESY OF ARIZONA SONORA NEWS SERVICE / PIXABAY

RECREATIONAL USE of marijuana is in the works of becoming legal in 2016. Officials mark their opinions on the legalization of marijuana in Arizona.

Orr is talking to law enforcement officials in Colorado to see how they are handling the legalization of cannabis in their state. So far, it hasn’t led to any hardcore drugs and the use of it through youth has statistically gone down, he said.

“We have spent $75-$100 million specifically for marijuana arrests in Arizona,” Orr said. “The legalization would bring in $100 million for tax revenue, which would help fund law enforcement and education.”

Orr said taxing and regulating marijuana would help to control the drug use.

The communications manager of the Marijuana Policy Project Morgan Fox believes the time has come for new law.

“Once people see the failures of marijuana prohibition, and

abusing the medical card by selling or growing it, both which are felonies,” Widmer said.

Republican House Rep. Ethan Orr of Tucson is one of the first conservative lawmakers to side toward legalizing the recreational use of marijuana in Arizona. He initially opposed the medical marijuana policy but had a change of heart once he saw firsthand how marijuana helped people as they were fighting life-threatening illnesses such as cancer and multiple sclerosis.

“I’m surprised by how little support I’ve been getting since I have stated that I want marijuana to be legalized in Arizona,” Orr said. “But it all comes down to do people want to fund the cartel or the state?”

recognize that marijuana is far safer than alcohol, they are more open to having a conversation about how we can take this substance out of the hands of criminals and regulate it effectively without punishing responsible adults for using the safer substance,” Fox said.

In Arizona, getting caught with less than two pounds of marijuana results in a misdemeanor. Anything over two pounds is a felony. Intent to sell, traffic or manufacture are also felonies. Possession of marijuana in comparison to possession of narcotics, such as cocaine, heroin and opium, is a much lesser charge.

According to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, 30 percent of the U.S. population lives

the app to get information about what is going on around campus, as well as a form of entertainment.

Rikio Campbell , a pre-business freshman , said he checks the app periodically throughout the day, but mainly to distract himself when he is class.

Gabriella Harrington , a pre-nursing freshman , said she does not find value in using the app.

“I don’t really have the time to look at the various thoughts of college students,” Harrington said. “The people who are able to read the posts either find that they can relate to them or find amusement or humor in the posts.”

Campbell said he believes users lack creativity when posting to the app.

“I feel like if people don’t start being creative on there, it is going to die out,” Campbell said.

One of the traits that sets Yik Yak apart from other social media apps is its anonymity . By not having a name attached to the post, Mullen said it allows users to write and create posts that they wouldn’t if their name was run along with it. The anonymity allows users to express their opinions and words freely, but it is also under supervision at all times by monitors who remove inappropriate posts almost immediately.

Before a user is able to publish their first post, they have to agree to a set of rules that specifically highlight not bullying or targeting other “yakkers.”

If a user’s yaks are continuously reported, they will be suspended from the app. However, some bullying, racial slurs and cruel content are not always immediately removed.

Yik Yak has become a part of UA life on campus with a little over one-fifth of the student body

Graham also said she thinks this policy clarifies the meaning of consent.

“This will prevent things from going too far and show people that they do not have to [get taken advantage of],” she said.

There are different resources and organizations at the UA that deal with issues surrounding sexual assault, such as Feminists Organized to Resist, Create and Empower, the Women’s Resource Center and the Men’s Project.

with some form of marijuana decriminalization.

Through academic and government studies, it was found that these decriminalization laws have not contributed to a rise in the consumption of marijuana nor negatively affected teens attitudes toward drugs.

“As more states change their marijuana policies toward sensible regulation instead of prohibition, public support has been increasing nationally,” Fox said. “A lot of this is due to the fact that we can look at the implementation of such policies in Colorado and Washington and see the benefits, as well as none of the things opponents tried to scare voters about coming to pass.”

FORCE intern Kassandra Manriquez explained her position as a member of a group that advocates for students who need support.

“I appreciate that the [board of regents] is directing their attention toward this issue, because it is an important one,” Manriquez said.

Manriquez also called upon students to support each other.

“I believe that in order for this refined policy to be influential,” Manriquez said, “we as students need to respect and value each other first.”

Language important in Navajo elections

BY Julianna Renzi The Daily Wildcat

T

he upcoming Navajo presidential election is getting heightened media attention, not only because of its significance for Navajo leadership, but also because of its potential cultural implications.

Among the 11 requirements to seek the Navajo presidency, candidates must be official members of the Navajo Nation, be able to read and write in English and be fluent in the Navajo language. The last provision became a topic of hot debate when, weeks after the August Navajo primary, two political opponents challenged the Navajo fluency of presidential candidate Chris Deschene.

Deschene meets the blood quota to be considered a Navajo citizen, was born and raised on Navajo land and has been a prominent figure in his community. But courts ruled him ineligible for the presidency after it was determined he was not fluent in Navajo.

Deschene’s plight represents a predicament arising with the spread of linguistic imperialism and electronic translation technologies. Fewer people are learning less common languages.

As languages decline, cultures imparted through them are slowly being lost.

Sheilah E. Nicholas from the University of Arizona Department of American Indian Studies stated that, generally speaking, “[language] becomes a referent for the oral traditions of a society. Oral tradition encompasses the myriad of language forms — song words and phrases, ritual language, prayer, teachings, including symbolism and everyday language, et cetera.”

Nicholas spoke about how language enculturates individuals, how it frames their cultural awareness, their history, ethics and values. It is a cultural stamp.

While baseline communication is almost always possible in our age, the cultural aspects transmitted through a language are lost with its death.

Nicholas also noted, with respect to how language operates in any community, “[the] role of language proficiency, the ability to understand and speak, is at the essence of responsibility, preparation and being part of a group. It is a qualification that implicates trust, confidence and respect in maintaining the cultural and political integrity of the group.”

Learning foreign languages allows people to delve into other cultures.

Increasingly, however, U.S. students are interpreting the prominence of English worldwide and improving translation software as a signal that it is no longer necessary to study foreign languages.

That logic only functions well enough to get a person through a business meeting or an online, translated text. As Nicholas said, speaking less commonly spoken languages is a sign of respect. By gaining fluency in a language, one dedicates copious amounts of time to gain a skill that allows them to partake in the culture in a way that is impossible without that form of communication. Fully integrated members in a community are able to speak with one another in a natural way, which engenders mutual understanding, trust and respect.

Deschene is certainly a wellqualified presidential candidate. He served in the Marine Corps, has a law degree and has amassed large popular support. The issue, however, is larger than one candidate. According to NPR, 90 percent of Navajo first graders were fluent in Navajo 50 years ago. Today, that number has dropped to 30 percent.

Early voting has already begun in the Navajo Nation, and there is no word about what is to be done with ballots that support Deschene. There is no protocol for what should happen if Deschene wins the majority, since his name is still on the ballot. There is certainly ample reason for the Navajo Nation to elect him; there are issues at stake besides language and culture, and Deschene may very well be the best candidate to address them.

But the fact remains that Deschene is not fluent in the language of the nation he wishes to lead, and that should give all of us pause. If Deschene still wins a majority, regardless of fluency, it will mark an important shift in the value placed on language.

Assault will go unpunished T

he Pima County Attorney’s Office decided against the prosecution of Tucson Police Department officer Joel Mann for violently shoving a UA student during the Elite Eight clash. The act was caught on a video that later went viral.

Pima County Chief Criminal Deputy Kellie Johnson told the Arizona Daily Star that her office declined to prosecute because it would be unable to prove criminal intent in court.

“It’s not a criminal intent if you’re using it to maintain public order,” she said.

But the idea that Mann’s actions were protecting “public order” is laughable. Johnson herself said in a letter to the Arizona Department of Public Safety that Mann used force that night in a way that was “overzealous” and “not necessary.”

Your Views In response to “We’re splitting our ticket this year” (Oct. 21) I’ve grown up in Arizona, and I worked very hard so that I could attend the UA. When I got my acceptance letter, I was thrilled, but then I looked at the price of tuition. I had no idea how I was going to pay for college. Both of my parents have worked hard to give me and my two sisters and brother a good life, but they couldn’t afford the high tuition bill.

Fortunately, I qualified for the federal student loan program, and, combined with a scholarship, I was able to pay my tuition and start at the UA in August.

Without the federal student loan program, I would not be here.

As students, it’s important that we pay attention to this election and how people will vote if they are sent to Washington.

Our congressman, Ron Barber, understands the importance of keeping college affordable. He voted to decrease student loan interest rates, and blocked cuts to the Department of Education and the Pell Grant program.

However, his opponent, Martha McSally, said she would do nothing to help with the

Instead, our local prosecutor’s office has refused to even acknowledge a crime was committed.

Sgt. Mann assaulted Gardilcic. It is as simple as that. In denying that fact, the Pima County Attorney’s Office has given us all a reason to feel a little less safe on our own campus.

That’s certainly not going to help maintain public order.

Some of the same reasons you give for endorsing Grijalva — supporting the Dream Act, marriage equality, immigration reform, against the Rosemont mine — should be the same reasons FOR endorsing Barber.

McSally doesn’t care about middle class families that are trying to send their kids to college. With high-power friends back in Washington like Tea Party leader Paul Ryan, Wall Street’s favorite John Boehner and the billionaire Koch brothers, she’s not fighting for us. McSally is not going to fight to make sure my interest rates are low or to ensure students like me receive their Pell Grants.

Ron Barber is a product of public education. He went to Rincon High School in Tucson and the UA. His kids grew up here, and his grandchildren are all in schools here, too. He believes that investing in education — investing in kids like me — is the most important thing we can do to help our economy prosper. And that is why I am supporting Ron Barber, and so should you.

POLICE BEAT

BY FELIPE MORENO The Daily Wildcat

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was working security at a date dash in front of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority on Oct. 17 when he observed a woman wearing a green plastic construction helmet with two beer cans attached to each side.

There were straws coming out of the cans that went toward the female student’s mouth. The officer contacted the woman and asked if he could speak with her, to which she said, “Yes.” The officer asked for the female student’s age, and she replied, “19.” The officer then proceeded to ask the woman if she knew why he wanted to talk to her, and she said she did not know. The officer informed her of the beer can helmet she was wearing, and she appeared surprised, as if she forgot she was wearing it.

The woman had red watery eyes and a moderate odor of intoxicants on her breath. She stated she only consumed the two beer cans that were on her head, which were empty when she took off the helmet.

The female student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Don’t be our guest! Don’t be our guest!

Two UAPD officers were dispatched to Coronado Residence Hall on Oct. 19 in reference to an unwanted man causing a public disturbance.

Upon arrival, the non-UA affiliated individual was already speaking to another police officer. A resident assistant informed the UAPD officers that the man was a registered guest at the dorm and was being very loud.

A woman, who was accompanying the man in the lobby, told the officers he was her guest. She said he had become belligerent and loud throughout the course of the night, so she kicked him out of the room; he then started yelling and causing a disturbance.

She contacted an RA, who, along with the female student and other residents, asked the man to leave the dorm three or four times, to which he said he would not because his backpack and laptop were still in the room. The RA asked the man to leave one last time, and the man said he would punch him and started walking toward him. The RA retreated, and a couple of girls held the man back from advancing toward him.

The officer noticed the man was leaning up against a counter in the lobby, and had a distinct sway from sideto-side and front-to-back. The man also had red watery eyes, slurred speech, depressed motor skills and a strong odor of intoxicants coming from his breath. The man denied consuming alcohol and made little sense during his conversation with the officer, often giving answers to questions the officer did not ask.

He was arrested for criminal trespassing in the third degree and for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

f ever there was a trap game, this was it.

Sandwiched between games against Pac-12 Conference glamour programs USC and UCLA was a trip to sleepy Pullman, Wash., and a 2-5 Washington State team. Wazzu is so dull that its flashy uniforms are all gray.

However, Washington State lost to Oregon by just seven and beat Utah, which is currently ranked

18th on the road.

The long trip from Tucson to Pullman, Wash., is one of the toughest in the country, and a desperate Cougar team was awaiting the Wildcats. A loss would all but knock Washington State out of bowl contention.

All signs were pointing to a rough trip to the Palouse. Everyone on College Game Day picked the Cougars to upset the Wildcats.

However, No. 14 Arizona (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) would go on to spank the Cougars (2-6, 1-4) 59-37, and they played their most complete game of the year. Sure, the margin was 22 points, but that was after Washington State scored one of

their customary garbage time touchdowns.

WSU head coach Mike Leach likes to pad the stats so much that then-Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti called out Leach last year for leaving the starters in the Ducks’ win over the Cougars, which Oregon won 62-38.

Regardless, Arizona redshirt freshman quarterback Anu Solomon (26-for-38, 294 yards, five touchdowns, zero interceptions) outdueled WSU senior quarterback Connor Halliday (56-for-72, 489 yards, four touchdowns, two interceptions) on Saturday. Going into the game, Halliday was first in the nation in passing, touchdowns,

passing yards per game and total offense.

On the ground, UA redshirt senior running back Terris JonesGrigsby ran for 113 yards on 13 carries, an average of 8.2 yards per carry.

On defense, Arizona got two interceptions and forced three fumbles, though they didn’t recover any. Going into the game, Arizona had four interceptions through six games.

Finally, on special teams, the Wildcats scored touchdowns on a punt return and kick-off return.

The last time they scored on both types of special teams returns was

Arizona soccer hosts two overtime games

Vball splits Oregon schools

BY BRIAN PEEL

The Daily Wildcat

Playing in its final scheduled home series of the season, Arizona soccer (9-5-2, 3-4-1) came away with only a single point in its two games over the weekend when it fell to No. 4 Stanford on Friday before tying Cal on Sunday afternoon at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium.

Both games against the Northern California schools were closely contested, with both going into overtime.

Sunday’s game against the Cal Golden Bears was senior day for Wildcats Gabby Kaufman, Alexandra Doller, Mykalin Rosenquist, LeeAndra Smith, Julia Glanz and the injured Brie DeFelice, but it was freshman Gabi Stoian who got Arizona on the board first when she scored from outside the Cal penalty area after collecting a long throw-in from one of her teammates in the 41st minute.

In a first half that was mostly controlled by the Wildcats in terms of possession and quality scoring chances, Arizona nearly added to its lead several times but hit the post twice and had one shot cleared off the line.

The second half was more evenly played from both teams and after the Wildcats missed a few more chances to double the score line, the Golden Bears found the equalizer in the 73rd minute when Taylor Comeau’s shot was deflected off a Wildcat and past a sprawling Kaufman.

Both Arizona and Cal almost stole a late winner, but regulation ended at 1-1 and put the game into overtime.

REBECCA MARIE SASNETT/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA FRESHMAN MIDFIELDER Gabi Stoian (9) scores Arizona’s lone goal during Arizona’s 1-1 tie in double overtime against California on Sunday at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium. Stoian and the Wildcats played back-to-back overtime games over the weekend against Stanford and Cal.

early in overtime, Cal looked like they had the game winner in the 105th minute. But the goal was disallowed when it was ruled that Kaufman was interfered with, and the game ended in a draw.

“Well, it was a hard game,” head coach Tony Amato said.

“They are one of the top ranked

teams in the country for a reason. … One of the things is that we can have no regrets if we lay it all out on the line like that, and we will live with the result and there are no regrets today.”

Friday night’s matchup with

SOCCER, 7

For the fourth straight series, the No. 15 Arizona volleyball team split a two-game Pac-12 Conference series, this time losing to Oregon in straight sets (25-17, 25-12, 25-19) on Wednesday before defeating Oregon State in four sets (25-19, 2729, 25-15, 25-14) on Friday.

The three previous series saw the Wildcats defeat Utah before losing to Colorado, defeat California before losing to Stanford and defeat Washington State before losing to Washington.

Three of the last four losses have been against then-highly ranked teams, No. 1 Stanford, No. 3 Washington and No. 11 Oregon.

This season, the Wildcats have lost to four ranked teams.

The most recent of those losses came against Oregon and had to be frustrating for Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio. Arizona (17-5, 6-4) struggled offensively and hurt itself with attack errors — 22 in total. Arizona senior outside hitter and leader Madi Kingdon struggled in a big way against the Ducks. The senior from Phoenix uncharacteristically finished with half of the team’s attack errors and barely had more kills (13) than attack errors (11).

Add in the team’s .079 hitting percentage and it’s not a surprise Arizona didn’t get more than 19 points in any of the three sets on Wednesday. To make matters worse, Oregon wasn’t that much better offensively; the Ducks simply didn’t have as many attack errors.

No one saw this Fall Classic matchup coming

BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat

T

he easy narrative for the 2014 World Series has been Dynasty vs. Destiny, the clash of two franchises from completely different schools of success.

On the dynasty side sit the San Francisco Giants, winners of the Fall Classic in 2010 and 2012.

Looked upon in smug fashion, they are supposed to represent the aristocracy of baseball, the guys who simply know how to win in October.

Then there’s the Kansas City Royals, the loveable losers of the American League for so long. Yet, here they are in the World Series, fresh off sweeps in the division and league championship rounds.

For the uninformed fan, the one who only tunes into baseball during the postseason, it would be easy to insert the Royals and Giants into the traditional David versus Goliath roles.

In truth, both of these teams could be David. Neither was supposed to go this far in the postseason, certainly not to the World Series.

Heading into game 5 Sunday night, either Kansas City or San Francisco is two wins away from hosting a World Series parade no one thought possible just a few weeks ago.

In 2010 and 2012, the Giants made similarly remarkable runs through the postseason. However, this one tops both.

Go ask a Dodger fan who the

best team in the National League West was from April to September.

They’ll surely say the one that had Clayton Kershaw as its ace, pitching behind a star-studded lineup.

Today, Kershaw is probably out golfing somewhere while his NL West counterpart, Madison Bumgarner, just finished tossing another World Series start.

Bumgarner leads a limping Giants rotation that lost its best pitcher, Matt Cain, in August due to a season-ending elbow injury.

Other than Bumgarner, the Giants have relied on Tim Hudson, Jake Peavy and journeyman Ryan Vogelsong to pitch the team to another World Series title.

On offense, the Giants have relied on a mix of September callups and watered-down veterans, such as outfielder Travis Ishikawa, who hit the walk-off home run to send San Francisco into the World Series.

Behind the leadership of perennial All-Star catcher Buster Posey and the eccentric but effective antics of right fielder Hunter Pence, the Giants have guaranteed themselves a special place in the hearts of San Francisco fans for years to come, win or lose.

Then there are the fans who don’t have the taste of victory still lingering in their mouths.

Kansas City hadn’t made a World Series since 1985, and it looked like that streak was going to continue this year, even when the Royals barely eked into the second Wild Card spot.

Then something strange happened. The Royals kept winning and winning, all the way to the first game of the World Series.

Soccer

from page 6

the No. 4 Stanford Cardinal saw the Wildcats stage a furious comeback before conceding a golden goal in overtime and losing 3-2.

Stanford got on the scoreboard only 46 seconds into the match when Taylor Uhl found a wide open Lo’eau LaBonta on the wing, and the senior midfielder easily finished past Kaufman to make it 1-0.

San Francisco Giants outfielders Gregor Blanco (left) and Hunter Pence (right) celebrate an 11-4 win against the Kansas City Royals in Game 4 of the World Series at AT&T Park in San Francisco on Saturday. The series was tied 2-2 going into Sunday’s Game 5 matchup in San Francisco.

Kansas City came back and shocked Oakland in the Wild Card play-in game, then swept the Angels and Orioles. Only one of the postseason wins was decided by more than three runs, and four games went extra-innings.

That’s just the way the Royals like it, with their gritty, small-ball style that values bunts and stolen bases over home runs.

Stanford continued to dominate for the next 20 minutes and was rewarded with a second goal in the 19th minute when Uhl scored herself.

With a 2-0 deficit early on, it looked as though the Wildcats might be in for another rout at the hands of a highly ranked opponent, but the second half was a different story for Arizona. The Wildcats finally broke through in the 74th minute when Glanz connected on a header after a cross Stoian was deflected off one of the Cardinal defenders. With all the

Surviving the Slaughter House

BY Ian Martella

sorry for a little girl crying for her lost sister… Trust no one.

Halloween weekend marks the Slaughter House’s last open weekend in Tucson this year. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of being chased by a crazed, chainsaw murderer this year, you should probably purchase a ticket.

The Slaughter House features five main haunts, each with their own twisted theme to make you wish you never left the comfort of your own home.

However, if the prospects of the Slaughter House’s haunts don’t make you cringe, the building’s history certainly might.

“This used to be a Farmer John’s Slaughter House,” said Bobby Sutton, owner and manager of the Slaughter House, dating the origin of the house back to the 1950s.

“People would bring their cows, horses, sheep — anything you slaughtered in the West, they brought over here,” Sutton added.

On top of deranged clowns, zombies and dead livestock, the Slaughter House occasionally hosts a wholesome family group called Suspension Merriment.

Team S&M performs an act in which the husband and wife duo suspend themselves from hooks, piercing their skin at various parts of their body. The show is not for those with weak stomachs and issues regarding blood.

“It’s intense, it’s over the top and it’s very extreme,” Sutton said. “If that’s your thing, it’s here, and it’s crazy.”

The Slaughter House actors include staff members of several years, iconic actors such as Big Bobby, the in-house chainsaw murderer and even high school drama club students. However, according to Sutton, the majority of volunteers come from fraternities,

4. Drop any fear you might have of clowns. Right now.

The Daily Wildcat

Carnevil was admittedly the first haunted house I visited, but that detracts in no way from this horrendous experience.

When your guide asks you if you want the 3D glasses at the entrance, say yes. The black-light lit haunt with neon paint splattered all over the walls becomes a completely disorienting experience from the very start.

With rabid clowns abound and pressure valves releasing around you at any given moment, there’s no time for rest until you’re breathing the cool night air outside the haunt’s walls.

5. “Don’t look like you’re afraid.”

sororities and non-profit groups trying to raise money.

If the building’s fleshy history is enough to pique your interest, here is some advice from both Sutton and I to survive the utterly terrifying haunts at the Slaughter House:

1. Go hug a butcher.

But not just any butcher. Find one with a history of violence, a little foam around his mouth, a gas mask and chainsaw. Only then will you be prepared for the Slaughter House’s City Meats haunt.

You may be asking yourself, “Is the hug really necessary?” The answer is, “Yes.” The brutish butchers at City Meats aren’t afraid of showing you a little love, up close and personal.

2. Fire up your favorite first-person zombie shooter.

One of Slaughter House’s newest haunts, Apocalypse, features something even the most experienced haunted house goers will find new and exhilarating.

The interactive post-apocalyptic haunt is overrun by zombies, and they need your expert marksmanship to help clear the grounds of the soulless corpses.

“Through the evolution of some cheaper weapons systems, we created the top-of-the-line, military training, tactical weapon,” Sutton said. “We brought that over to the entertainment side, and it’s revolutionizing the industry.”

review

Fending off crooks in the ‘dark’ in local play

Having personally been thrust into the dim, dank, zombie-ridden haunt with only 150 rounds to fend for myself, I can say it’s well worth going.

Always remember: Aim for the head.

3. Become well-acquainted with your local cemetery.

At night. With some of the dead walking around.

If you’re a fan of tight spaces and never-ending mazes, then you should definitely consider going to The Graveyard at the Slaughter House.

I couldn’t walk through this one quickly enough.

Not only were there way too many places for something to jump out and scare the living daylights out of me, but I made the mistake of feeling

Sutton wants his customers to try to be brave when visiting the Slaughter House.

“If you’re walking across the lawn and a guy with a chainsaw chases you, don’t run, because he’s coming after you — hard.”

According to Sutton, safety is but an illusion inside the Slaughter House.

Sutton said the strategy of hiding behind your friends is a fruitless task because his crew is trained to identify and provoke those who look like they are hiding, both within and outside of the haunts.

On Nov. 1, the Slaughter House is planning something special for students at the UA. During the Slaughter House’s Fear Fest event, Benny Benassi will be performing while a few of the haunts remain open for visitors to indulge their masochistic desires. If you are looking for a time to go, Sutton said this will be the night for you.

Who. What.

Wear.

Theresa Ruffin

freshman studying pre-neuroscience and cognitive science Describe your outfit in a few words.

It’s a casual striped dress with a high neckline from American Eagle.

What do you normally wear to class?

On lab days when I’m cold, I’ll wear leggings, and other days, I wear shorts, usually jean shorts. For tops, usually a tank top, because it’s too hot in Arizona. Flipflops, too.

Where do you find inspiration for your style?

I look on Pinterest, I’m obsessed with Pinterest. There’s not one specific type of look; it’s kind of just always comfortable but cute clothes.

Ted Koch and Brooke Parks in Arizona Theatre Company’s “Wait Until Dark.” Based on Frederick Knott’s 1966 play, the production team adapts the story to fit into the period of 1940s America.

BY Kevin C. Reagan The Daily Wildcat

N

ever before has a play about a missing doll been so suspenseful.

Arizona Theatre Company gets playful in its latest production of “Wait Until Dark,” as it keeps audience members in limbo while they watch a group of con artists terrorize a blind woman who is unknowingly in possession of a doll stuffed with prized diamonds.

Adapted from the 1966 play

by Frederick Knott, “Wait Until Dark” may be more familiar to moviegoers of the 1967 film adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn in one of her last big roles. ATC stays relatively true to Knott’s original story, the biggest change being the switch of time periods from the late 1960s to World War II. The intention of this time reversal is to play up some of the film noir elements embedded in Knott’s text, but setting the story two decades earlier seems rather unnecessary, since none of the play’s action ever ventures outside a cramped New York City apartment.

Of course, there are plenty of added wartime references enjoyable for any history buffs in the audience, but “Wait Until Dark” focuses more on the action and plot than about given circumstances; the 1940s motif quickly becomes just a pretty prop to hang on the wall.

Following the trifles of a recently-blinded woman named Susan, the play

claustrophobically makes her a prisoner in her own home as suspicious characters filter in and out in an elaborate scheme to uncover the location of the missing doll.

For the audience, the production team sneakily simulates Susan’s bewildering terror with abrupt blackouts, intense sound cues and quickfire staging. The frequent lighting manipulation creates a series of fascinating stage pictures to keep the rhythm of this talky, one-room drama from ever getting too static. At times, the flick of a small match is all that illuminates the pitch-black stage.

In her portrayal of Susan, Brooke Parks embraces her role by characterizing Susan with plenty of feisty brashness.

With traits reminiscent of 1940s screen starlets such as Barbara Stanwyck and Katharine Hepburn, Parks embodies an independent woman with the wits to outsmart her antagonists.

Displaying the right amount of vulnerability at key moments in the play, Parks quietly steals the show.

Ted Koch devilishly entertains the crowd as Roat, the self-imposed ringleader of the crooks. Koch adopts multiple accents and disguises throughout the play, and though he habitually resorts to sudden outbursts revealing his homicidal nature, it’s his calmer actions that really creep under your skin.

In the play’s climatic showdown, Roat snatches Susan’s walking cane and

tauntingly taps it against the scenery, mimicking the tension in their cat-and-mouse dynamic.

Most of the play’s suspense stems from small gestures such as these. The director stages the actors in blocking patterns that allow the audience to see a character hiding weapons behind their backs, so the viewer feels more invested knowing information other characters don’t know. It’s one of the many ways the production tries to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.

Taking some notes out of Alfred Hitchcock’s book on storytelling, “Wait Until Dark” packs plenty of melodrama in between its moments of terror.

The female protagonist uncovers a suppressed strength within herself only brought out through a close encounter with danger.

It is a familiar trope found in classic films such as “Rebecca,” “The Birds” and “Dial M for Murder.” Like Hitchcock, this play is not a fan of exploiting damsels in distress.

Susan holds her own in a male-dominated environment, and it is her journey that makes this production a crowd-pleaser.

Performances will run at Arizona Theatre Company until Nov. 8, and discounted tickets are available to college students.

Don’t be left in the dark this Halloween season with this opportunity to experience some live, spine-tingling suspense.

Ali Gilliland

undeclared freshman What is your inspiration for this outfit?

I was initiated into a Pi Beta Phi chapter, and I’m supposed to wear an all-white, pure dress.

Where do you find inspiration for your style?

I like a lot of thrift stores, so I have a lot of weird, strange, quirky things that I like.

What’s your favorite piece in your wardrobe?

I have this pair of blue heels that my best friend gave me. They’re like blue wedges, and they’re pretty great.

Brianna Heath

biomedical engineering freshman What is your favorite piece in your wardrobe?

I just got an Arizona hoodie, and it’s really soft and it’s a little big on me. So when I wear it, I’m all nice and cozy.

Who or what is your style inspiration?

Normally … I go for comfort, so it’s shorts and a shirt or jeans. But when I dress up, I really like Kate Middleton, because she’s just so classy and kind of perfect.

Why did you choose to wear this outfit today?

I am prepping for an interview … because I’m doing the Honors First Year Project, and I’m looking for a mentor. And, when you look for mentors, you dress up.
