At its September meeting, the Arizona Board of Regents voted to approve its Regulatory Reform Initiative, and will present it to the Arizona Legislature in hopes of winning the Legislature’s approval.

Part of the larger update to the board’s Strategic Plan, a sizeable chunk of the Regulatory Reform Initiative concerns how employee benefit coverage is administered throughout Arizona’s public university system.

Currently, university employees’ benefits are dictated by the state of Arizona, which lumps university employees into the same category as normal state employees in terms of their benefit packages and eligibility.

According to the state of Arizona’s 2015 New Hire Benefit Guide, employees who work halftime, or .500 full time exchange, are eligible for benefits.

In its proposed Regulatory Reform Initiative, the board seeks the power to be able to dictate their own employee benefits’ eligibility benchmark and, more importantly, to design its own employee benefit package as a whole. “[The proposed initiative] allows the universities more flexibility in their benefits design, and right now, given the pressures around all of our budgets, we need to make sure that we are offering benefits and prioritizing resources,” said Eileen Klein, president of the Arizona Board of Regents. “So that’s really what’s happening behind the proposal.”

The proposed initiative would take effect in two parts. The first and broader part would allow the regents and Arizona’s public universities to move away from the state-implemented benefits package.

According to Klein, this would

give the regents the power to custom-design employees’ benefit packages, as well as giving universities the option to become self-insured. This would allow the universities to move away from the state of Arizona’s employee health care marketplace and to tailor health care to the specific needs of university employees.

“Right now we feel like the university employees are paying higher-than-necessary premiums, and we would like the ability to be able to design our own benefits so that we can best meet the needs of the employees of the universities and lower their costs,” Klein said.

Klein noted that the regents have no intention of disrupting the current contract that state employees have for health care; rather, they would like to see these changes implemented in 2020­ —when the state’s health care contract is up for renewal.

To address the benefits

issue, the regents will ask the state Legislature to approve the second portion of the initiative, which grants the regents the ability to dictate which university employees are benefit-eligible.

This will allow the universities more flexibility and a better ability to work with budgetary constraints while still being a part of the state’s benefits system.

During their September meeting, the regents expressed an interest in adjusting the current employee benefit eligibility benchmark from .500 FTE to .750 FTE, or from 20 to 30 hours a week, respectively.

“I think that aligns with what the federal government requirements are,” Klein said, referring to what is becoming the national benefit eligibility trend for university employees.

According to the 2014-2015 University of Arizona Fact Book, there are roughly 3,000 part-time university employees.

If the initiative is approved by

the Arizona Legislature, parttime employees not meeting the .750 FTE benchmark could lose their benefit coverage.

While graduate assistants and some student employees do qualify for some university benefits, Allison Vaillencourt, vice president for Institutional Effectiveness and Human Resources, pointed out that their coverage falls under a different category than normal university employees, and that they would be unaffected by any adjustment.

“Graduate students are considered a different type of person [by the university], so we don’t consider them in the regular employee insurance plan, so they would not be affected by this,” Vaillencourt said.

Corporate partnerships bridge budget gap

BY Michelle Jaquette The Daily Wildcat

With the increasing government cuts to education, corporate partnerships are the key to the future funding of public universities, according to R.D. Castillo, the senior associate of business relations for the UA. The UA is on a mission to double research spending to $1.2 billion by the year 2020. In order to reach that goal, the university created Tech Launch Arizona in 2011. Tech Launch helps translate ideas and inventions from UA labs to marketable products by connecting faculty and student researchers with corporations.

“It’s definitely the trend, and I can tell you that it’s the trend all over the country right now,” Castillo said.

A recent corporate partnership between the College of Optical Sciences and Uber will aid in the increase of research funds. Thomas Koch, dean of the College of Optical Sciences, said a research contract has been set up, but specific projects within that contract are still in discussion.

Uber is interested in the optics program for developing an automobile project.

“I think the interface of their system and their approaches to mapping and safety in the realm of automobiles relies heavily on highquality and innovative solutions in optics, and that’s kind of what we’re known for,” Koch said.

Beyond the research contract, Uber gave the College of Optical Sciences a grant of $25,000 to become a principal partner in its Industrial Affiliates program.

IA brings students, researchers and companies together to share ideas and discuss the future of optics in a setting Koch deems a “much more engaging environment” than what students would find at a typical career fair.

The National Science Foundation has ranked the UA No. 19 in the nation for research and development expenditures among public universities and colleges. For all the research

the UA oversees, however, there is no strictly defined process for handling companies that approach the university with a partnership in mind.

“That is definitely something that we are working to define so that we can make it the same for, as much as we can, for every company,” Castillo said. “Right now, if a company wants to sponsor research, what happens is they would be introduced to the associate vice president of Research and Business Development.”

When Castillo and Associate Vice President of Business Development Dennis Beal meet with prospective investors, they make sure to ask thorough questions, Castillo said.

Their goal is to discover “what it is the company wants, where do they want to be, why do they want to get there, what are their

“Working with industry, you get confronted with really good problems, and you end up being the first one to work on something that nobody else even knows is a problem yet,” Koch said. “Just because you are engaged with somebody who can actually translate that research into value doesn’t mean that there is anything less exciting or fundamental about the research.”

The UA continues to refine its processes in the climate of increasing corporate interest in the university’s research projects and capabilities.

objectives and goals for the future,” Castillo said. “So we really try to understand more than just from a research point of view, because it might not be a good fit.”

William T. Neumann of the Eller College of Management said he approves of corporate partnerships with the university to an extent.

“At the end of the day, we want to make sure that our approach of being an academic institution that provides fair and unbiased sort of analysis of things doesn’t get compromised because we’re working for somebody,” Neumann said.

Koch added that differing goals are not often a problem in these partnerships because of faculty involvement in the interview process.

Faculty can turn down potential investors if they so desire.

Native Americans celebrate Indigenous pride

Gabriela Maya Bernadett discusses her objectives in heading the Indigenous Peoples Day celebration at the UA. Bernadett is an administrative associate for the UA Office of Tribal Relations.

By Andy Alvarado The Daily Wildcat

The UA is gearing up for its upcoming Indigenous Peoples Day celebration to be held Oct. 12 and 13. The university partners with individuals and organizations around Tucson to host events throughout the two days.

Indigenous Peoples Day, which has recently been officially recognized by South Tucson, coincides with Columbus Day. Gabriela Maya Bernadett, a Native American and administrative associate for the UA Office of Tribal Relations, is responsible for organizing and leading the celebration at the UA. According to Bernadett, the purpose of Indigenous Peoples Day is to be “a counter narrative to Columbus Day” and “to recognize the strength and resilience of Indigenous peoples in the face of colonization and imperialism.”

According to Bernadett, students have shown interest in the alternative holiday.

“So far, the response has been great,”

Bernadett said. “We haven’t really had any opposition, not yet. Hopefully that keeps up.”

Opposition, Bernadett said, would consist of more conservative-leaning groups taking issue with the idea of a counter-celebration to Columbus Day. The celebration at the UA will focus on the resilience of Indigenous peoples and the preservation of their cultures.

The day was conceived at the University of California, Berkeley, which was the first place to officially recognize it as a counter-celebration to Columbus Day. From there, it gradually became recognized by other cities, such as San Diego and Denver, where it was celebrated as a protest against Columbus Day. Columbus Day is recognized as a federal holiday in the U.S. but is not observed as a state holiday by some states, according to The Week Magazine.

Pam Balogh, a Native American studies Ph.D. student at the UA, said that protesting against Columbus Day is not the intention of this particular celebration.

“It’s more a reclaiming, not animosity,”

Balogh said. “Columbus was this crown explorer to many people, and that’s fine. But it’s not fair to have just one narrative about this continent.”

Balogh said she hopes to see Indigenous Peoples Day officially recognized by all of Tucson in the upcoming years and eventually the entirety of the U.S. “I grew up in Payson, [Arizona,] and a lot of Native Americans went to my school,” said Danny Kitts, a physiology senior at the UA. “They stick together and trust each other, and I can totally see how it’s helped keep their culture alive.”

Kitts said he would like to attend the events., However, as is the case with other students around campus, he previously didn’t know the day existed. Bernadett said she is hoping to change that this year by bringing awareness, appreciation and the celebration of Indigenous people and their resilience to the UA. Celebrations begin on the morning of Monday, Oct. 12, with a breakfast hosted by the Native American Research and Training Center

at 8 a.m.

At noon, students can catch performances by the Black Mountain Drum Group from the Tohono O’odham Nation, an Exhibition Jingle Dress Dance by Nyona Smith and a Northern Traditional Dance by Rayland Smith, also from the Tohono O’odham Nation. The Native American Law Student Association potluck at the College of Law courtyard will also begin at noon.

There will be a discussion with Indigenous Alliance Without Borders at 5:30 p.m., hosted by the Adalberto and Ana Guerrero Center Student Lounge.

There will be a presentation by Michael Hawes, executive director of Fulbright Canada, in Room 332A of the Harvill building on Oct. 13 at 5:30 p.m.

POLICE BEAT compiled by Meghan Fernandez

Oh no, not the Keystone!

A University of Arizona Police Department officer encountered two students outside Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall who had been drinking alcohol.

When the officer first arrived at Arizona-Sonora, there was a group of people clustered around the building, and someone said, “The cops are here.”

The officer saw a male student hide an aluminum can behind himself.

The officer asked the student what was in the can, and the student said it was beer, which was confirmed when the officer saw the can of Keystone Light.

The officer asked the student’s age, and he said he was 19 years old.

Another student sat by the possessor of the beer. The officer asked him how old he was, and he said he was 19 years old as well. The officer identified both students by their CatCards.

The officer could smell alcohol on the second student’s breath while talking to him and noticed his speech was slurred.

The two students agreed to undergo a Portable Breath Test, which confirmed that both students had consumed alcohol. The officer then placed them under arrest for minor in possession of alcohol in the body.

Later on, the two students were cited and released, and a notice of violation of the Student Code of Conduct was sent to the Dean of Students Office.

An apple a day A UAPD officer responded to Pueblo de la Cienega Residence Hall regarding the smell of marijuana from one of the rooms.

The officer went to the reported room and could smell marijuana from outside the door. The officer knocked on the door and a male resident answered. The officer then asked if he could speak with him, and the student said he could.

Inside the room, the officer noted an even stronger smell of marijuana and the resident had bloodshot eyes.

The officer asked the resident if there was marijuana in the room. The resident said there was and proceeded to hand the officer a bag that contained 3.1 grams of marijuana. The resident said he used an apple to smoke the marijuana.

The officer issued the resident a diversion to the Dean of Students Office for possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.

How do you build a healthy relationship?

A good relationship isn’t always a bowl of cherries, nor is it predictably easy. Disagreements are inevitable, so learning to effectively address and resolve conflict is as important as sharing in the good times.

And speaking of sharing, remember that communication is a two-way street that requires both individuals to contribute. “Give and take” should refer to your sense of compromise, not the roles you adopt in the relationship.

Also, try to keep things realistic with plenty of humor.

Relationships that thrive tend to be based on down-to-earth expectations, not fairy tale myths. Your friend or significant other will not always be able to read your mind, fulfill your dreams, or constantly make you happy.

Research tells us that having healthy relationships, both amorous and platonic, is good for our health. People with meaningful partnerships tend to have better support networks, which enrich our lives, and may even help us live longer.

Unfortunately, technological and social changes may be expanding our contacts while shrinking the number of people we can actually confide in and count on. Next time you’re with a friend or significant other, be present in the moment, and focus on each other, not your phones.

Remember, relationships are not 50/50, they’re 100/100.

Great question! Building a healthy relationship is probably one of life’s biggest challenges, but the rewards are both defining and enduring. Clearly, there is no one way to make a relationship work, but they do share some common elements. We’ve all heard that trust and communication are essential, but the real key is finding everyday ways to establish and reinforce these connections with your partner. Think about how you convey your appreciation for each other in small acts – you may be surprised by how much they say.

Student app streamlines sales

BY Brandi Walker The Daily Wildcat

A group of UA students are working together this semester to market a new app called twazer: a trusted, student, peer-topeer marketplace for e-commerce.

“Right now students have Craigslist that they can go to for peer-to-peer e-commerce, but they can’t really trust Craigslist because it’s not really safe,” said Brady Silverwood, a marketing junior. “A lot of kids think it’s sketchy.”

Users are prompted to create an .edu login when downloading the app, Silverwood said, and must have a student email address. He said this is one of the features that makes the app safer than alternatives.

Megan Copeland, a pre-business freshman, said the concept behind this app is a good idea because students can make money in a safe way by selling things or clothes they don’t use or wear anymore.

“Another thing that kids are doing on campus is they’re using the Facebook Free & For Sale page,” Silverwood said. “The thing with that, though, is it’s safer than Craigslist, but people go on Facebook for different reasons. They don’t go on Facebook just for that, and there are no filtered searches.”

The current filters to help with search engine optimization on the twazer app are books, notes, furniture, electronics, clothes and other items. Users can also filter by price range.

“Another thing that the app does is

Front page of twazer. The app facilitates an online market place exclusive to university students.

it allows for a cashless transaction,” Silverwood said. “A lot of people around campus tend not to carry cash on them anymore; it’s all mobile-based. So through the app, you can actually set up your Venmo ID, meet with the person, and you can scan a barcode and basically pay through Venmo to that person, so you wouldn’t have to pay in cash.”

Silverwood also said twazer is

location-based, and users can modify the radius of how far they are willing to search.

He said that, unlike Craigslist, users can take a picture directly on the twazer app and post the item right away.

“Another cool thing that is helping safety-wise is that there is in-app messaging. So you can contact someone without necessarily having their number,” Silverwood said.

Silverwood and his partner, Alan Alchalel, a finance junior, will start up the twazer marketing team with interns here at the UA. “My goal is to get people aware of what twazer is, and not feel like, ‘Oh, we’re just another startup,’ but, ‘Hey, this twazer team is doing a lot of fun stuff around [UA]. I want to learn more about them,’ ” Silverwood said. “We’ve already got together a pretty diverse group of interns.”

According to Silverwood, twazer team interns are also members of Chain Gang junior honorary, Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Zeta Beta Tau fraternity.

“I became a part of the twazer team because I see the potential in this great idea,” said Nate Hiser, a political science junior. “Not only is the idea great, but the people behind the idea are very passionate and excited about this new app. The combination of those two things made me want to get involved.”

Silverwood said the twazer team is hoping to plan a concert launch party. He said the team would get a feel for what people would like to see at a concert, whether it is EDM, country music, hip-hop or rap.

UA app offers Free and For Sale alternative

BY Gabriella Vukelic The Daily Wildcat

Victoria Pereira/The Daily Wildcat

Unilist creator and ASUA Sen. Alec Kretch works on perfecting the application’s coding Tuesday, Sept. 29. Kretch created Unilist to provide a safer way for UA students to conduct business online.

A new app designed to make buying and selling products safer and more efficient has arrived at the UA. Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senator Alec Kretch created Unilist Campus Marketplace exclusively for UA students. The app requires a UA email address, which guarantees that all users are UA students. Sen. Kretch is currently working on improving the app so that students can eventually post job listings to get jobs on the UA campus.

“I think it’s a great idea to have a platform for UA students to connect and trade things to each other in a safer environment,” said ASUA Executive Vice President Evan Hastings.

The idea developed during Kretch’s campaign for ASUA Senate, and he thought the marketplace should be

added to the Arizona mobile app. After three dedicated months of designing and programming the app, it was officially launched in the App Store on Sept. 22.

Kretch said Unilist Campus Marketplace will exclude the frustrations of using the Free & For Sale Facebook page by filtering the content instead of having the user sift through spam and receiving numerous amounts of unwanted notifications.

Just like Instagram filters photos from Facebook, Unilist Campus Marketplace will filter listings from Facebook as well.

Kretch is a computer science junior at the UA and said he has learned many of his core programming values from the brightest and most dedicated professors. Additionally, he said he has been programming in iOS independently for the past three years.

Kretch said he worked on the creation of the app alone with the education he

learned from the computer science program the UA offers. Kretch first designed the app by drawing it, converting the designs to a Photoshop document, programming the design and eventually submitting it to the App Store. According to Kretch, the app is coded in the programming language Objective-C. The app is free and requires iOS 8.0 or later in order to be downloaded on any Apple product.

“One of my biggest goals within ASUA is to help make the UA a more interconnected and self-sufficient university,” Kretch said. “I think this app can really help that cause.”

Breakdown of the mandatory UA fees

BY Amanda Oien

The Daily Wildcat

Undergraduate students at the UA pay over $500 every year in mandatory fees. Here is the break down.

Tanner Jean-Louis, a cultural anthropology senior and treasurer of the UA Student Services Fee Board, stated in an email that the board works dilligently to represent students’ interests and maintain transparency.

The board, which is composed of 11 undergraduate and graduate students, makes funding recommendations to the vice president of Student Affairs.

“One of the ways we seek to represent student interests is through our annual survey sent to all students at the university,” Jean-Louis wrote in an email. “This survey gives undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to share their opinions on which student services deserve priority funding.”

According to Jean-Louis, there are numerous ways the Student Services Fee Board aims to make fees

transparent: all funding recommendations are made during public meetings, dates and times of the meetings are made public and distributed to university departments and minutes for each meeting are also posted on the board’s website.

“All students are encouraged to attend these meetings and share their thoughts with the board,” Jean-Louis wrote.

This upcoming year, according to Jean-Louis, the Student Services Fee Board plans to host events where students can get to know the board, learn about the roles of each member and, most importantly, make suggestions regarding fees and find out more ways to get involved.

According to the Bursar’s Office, a total of 10 fees are subject to UA students, including an Arizona State Financial Aid Trust fee, a Health and Recreation fee, an Information Technology and Library fee, a Student Media fee, a Recreation Center Bond Retirement fee, a Recreation Center Program fee, a Student Services fee

and, finally, a Wildcat Events Board fee.

In addition to these fees, all students must also pay a one-time enrollment fee of $390, and freshmen must pay a $10 fee.

For undergraduates participating in the Guaranteed Tuition Program and taking more than seven units, the fees rack up to $516, while fees for non-guaranteed tuition graduates total at $510.

All of the UA’s mandatory fees have been approved by the Arizona Board of Regents; however, a few of the fees date back to the late 1980s. The Recreation Center Bond Retirement fee was proposed in 1985 for a $25 per-semester fee and was implemented in the Fall of 1990.

According to the Bursar’s Office website, “Although this fee is mandatory, it will cease once the bonds have been retired, therefore it is not a user fee.”

It is unclear when the bond will be completed.

Nicky Stenerson, a preveterinary science junior, said she questions the mandatory fees. At the start

of Stenerson’s freshman year, she read through the fees and was surprised by the amount and the requirement to pay them all, regardless of if she’ll be using the service.

“Not everyone goes to the Rec or wants to go,” Stenerson said. “You shouldn’t have to pay for a service you aren’t going to use, especially when half the time I don’t know what the services are and have never heard of them.”

The most recent fees added to the list are the Student Media fee and Wildcat Events Board fee, both of which were enacted in 2013.

According to the Bursar’s Office website, the Student Media fee provides funds for student-run organizations like KAMP Radio, UATV and The Daily Wildcat.

The Student Media fee has recently replaced the KAMP fee, effective in fall 2013. The Wildcat Events Board fee assists with funding Wildcat Events Board programs such as Cat Fest, which will feature a T-Pain concert in a few weeks.

Although Stenerson

Graphic by Annie Dickman

said she feels the steep mandatory fees are sometimes excessive, she also said, “I think they are necessary if you are going

to use the service they go toward.”

UA to clarify religious policy’s application

BY Ava Garcia

The Daily Wildcat

The UA currently has a new religious accommodation policy under consideration that would continue the university’s practice of reasonable religious accommodation while clarifying the policy’s application.

According to Andrew Comrie, the provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs, the UA previously operated under the Arizona Board of Regents’ general policy of nondiscrimination, which included religious accommodation and anti-harassment rules. The UA then added its own internal guidelines onto the board’s. Now the school will have a religious accommodation policy separate from the board of regents’.

“We thought it was important to actually call out a particular paragraph on religious accommodation in particular, not just have it nested within a broader set of nondiscrimination kinds of policies, because it just comes up so often,” Comrie said. “It’s an everyday occurrence. It’s a piece of life on a campus where we have people from all

kinds of backgrounds interacting.”

Comrie said the policy doesn’t change the current practice of religious accommodation, but allows for those who weren’t previously aware to gain an understanding of the university’s religious accommodation standards.

“It’s encoding what was there before, but now putting it in UA terms,” Comrie said.

According to the policy, the new application was proposed on March 10, 2014. The policy is still in the process of getting approved, but according to Mary Beth Tucker, assistant vice president of the Office of Institutional Equity, the policy is considered to currently have an interim status.

Comrie said the policy has been through the shared governance board, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and various other groups on campus and is awaiting the approval of the president’s cabinet before it reaches President Ann Weaver Hart.

“I thought it got great support from students, and when I presented it to faculty, they were quite supportive as well,” Tucker

said. “It’s generally been my experience that this was supported by our campus.”

The policy states that university faculty must reasonably accommodate the religious observances of students and employees when after receiving a request for an accommodation. The policy is two sentences, after which is a list of frequently asked questions.

“One of the reasons we created detailed FAQs in addition to the policy is because there were some questions about how the policy works,” Tucker said. “The FAQs are a way to help students and employees understand the policy and how to apply it.”

These frequently asked questions give examples of the kinds of accommodations faculty can provide to students when requested. The policy can also be used when deciding if a person’s religious accommodation rights have been violated.

“One of the goals of the UA policy is to provide the sort of resources for consultation and information about religious accommodation if a student or employee has a question, particularly if they felt their

right to religious accommodation was being violated,” Comrie said. “Now we have a fullon way to review the case.”

Tucker said she recommends that students try to give their professors as much notice as possible when requesting an accommodation to allow time for processing.

She said she hopes this policy will help ensure students receive their reasonably requested accommodations.

“I think any time you have a policy, it tends to raise awareness and provide information,” Tucker said. “To the extent that individuals may not have been aware, I would hope that this would make a difference for them.

But I also think that, generally, it’s been my experience that—as an institution, as a campus—our faculty and staff have been accommodating and supportive of students in a variety of ways. I hope that this would just be another example of that.”

Soul searching time for Wildcats

BY Kyle Hansen

The Daily Wildcat

Saturday night football in the Pac-12 Conference for Arizona has been rough to say the least.

This became a reality Saturday when Stanford dominated Arizona 55-17. The game came on the heels of the Wildcats’ deflating defeat to UCLA just one week before its matchup with the Cardinal.

To be fair, the Wildcats came into the game with everything working against them.

Quarterback Anu Solomon did not play because of a head injury sustained against UCLA, and linebacker Scooby Wright III was out with a foot injury.

That being said, Arizona took away few positives from its matchup at Stanford.

Arizona’s defense, with a wobbly Wright, was still shredded by UCLA, and the story was no different with Stanford. Stanford racked up 314 yards on the ground against the Wildcats, who have been weak against the run all year.

In comparison, Arizona totaled just 314 total yards against the Cardinal.

Arizona also failed to control the tempo, something it has struggled with through its first five games.

“We aren’t playing at the level that we can,” said linebacker Jake Matthews. “I think we just have to keep our heads up and keep working harder.”

Speedster Jerrard Randall took over the offense with Solomon out. Randall’s strength is definitely his running, but he can still only

do so much. The Stanford defense contained Randall and forced him to try to win with his arm. Randall didn’t commit a turnover, but he consistently overthrew his receivers and finished the game 15-28 with 178 yards and one score.

“We just didn’t finish,” said receiver Johnny Jackson. “We were getting stopped early and couldn’t bounce back, and when we did have a positive drive, I feel like offensively, we needed to help our defense a lot more.”

Running back Nick Wilson, Arizona’s most consistent offensive threat, was also held in check. The sophomore phenom ran the ball 17 times for only 46 yards and one touchdown while averaging a mere 2.7 yards per carry.

“We had a lot of three-and-outs, and our defense was on the field the majority of the time, and that’s just something we have to fix,” Jackson said.

Not to mention, the Wildcats are in the midst of one of college football’s most draining seasons, playing a schedule that allows them no byes and 12 straight games.

Anything and everything went wrong for the Wildcats against Stanford.

So, where does Arizona stand now? Well, nowhere great.

The Wildcats now sit at 3-2 with a 0-2 record in the Pac-12 Conference. Both losses have been by large margins to ranked opponents.

Wright will continue to sit out for several weeks, and Solomon’s status is still up in the air.

The Wildcats will have Oregon State at home this week before traveling to Colorado and then back home to face Washington State.

These are three winnable games that Arizona must take advantage of. This stretch could be an easy break in the schedule for the Wildcats and give them a chance to recover from their injuries and get back on a winning track.

Arizona’s game against Stanford should serve as a gut check for the team, having been dominated by a formidable opponent in

back-to-back weeks. With ASU, USC and Utah still on the schedule, the Wildcats are going to need to do some soul searching if they hope to make up for these blowout losses.

Arizona football at a fork in the road BYJustin Spears The Daily Wildcat

J

ust when everyone thought the football season couldn’t get any worse than last Saturday’s blowout loss to UCLA, Arizona found a way to top its poor performance in the Bay Area. After the Wildcats dropped another conference game to Stanford 5517, the season is up in the air and doesn’t look promising for Rich Rodriguez’s squad.

The last time Arizona started the season 0-2 in Pac-12 Conference

play was in 2013. The only difference between that season and the first two conference matchups this year was the fact that Ka’Deem Carey, arguably Arizona’s greatest offensive weapon of all-time, was carrying the load. This season’s squad also revolves around its running back, Nick Wilson.

Remember the talk about how Arizona had the deepest receiving core in the Pac-12? Among the rest of the conference, Arizona is ranked No. 9 for passing offense and No. 1 for rushing. It’s safe to say Arizona’s rushing attack is the only hope for the Wildcats this season.

With Arizona constantly running the ball, teams have a much easier week of practice because all the defense has to do is prepare to stop

the run. That’s exactly what UCLA threw at Arizona, and Stanford showcased the same adjustments.

If it’s the Wildcats’ run game that causes issues for defenses, all teams have to accomplish is stacking between seven or nine in the box to take away Arizona’s strongest weapon. Stanford’s adjustments were more of a slap in the face for Rodriguez—the Cardinal’s Tucsonborn linebacker, Blake Martinez, recorded a game-high 13 tackles.

Rodriguez can’t help the lack of production by Arizona’s pass game right now, especially with Trey Griffey and Tyrell Johnson out with foot injuries, Cayleb Jones with a minor ankle injury and Samajie Grant with a mild knee injury. It also didn’t help that quarterback

Anu Solomon didn’t even make the trip to Arizona’s first road test of the season.

The Wildcats have a plethora of injuries on the offensive side of the ball, and with Arizona lacking a win in the conference moving forward, it’s difficult to regain any confidence the team had the week they headed into UCLA. A win at Stanford would have helped, especially with the Wildcats hosting another conference winless team in Oregon State this week.

Colorado, Washington State and Washington are manageable matchups in the upcoming weeks, but the Wildcats are back to square one.

The quarterback situation is sticky because of Jerrard Randall’s limited

ability. Brandon Dawkins is still adjusting to the feel of playing in a big-time conference matchup. The Wildcats desperately need Solomon healed from his concussion and healthy to move forward.

Looking ahead, Arizona needs at least two wins before finishing the year with USC, Utah at home and ASU up north.

If the offense has to continue relying on the run game, then 7-5 might be modest for the wounded Wildcats.

Arizona Hockey celebrates after its win against NAU on Saturday, Sept. 26. The Wildcats lost their match against ASU 8-1 at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

Duel in the desert: UA loses to ASU 8-1

BY Seth Pines

The Daily Wildcat

An NHL goal horn is one of a kind. The loud, thunderous foghorn immediately brings fans to their feet in celebration.

Arizona hockey had to hear this goal horn a whopping eight times as they fell to ASU by a score of 8-1 on Saturday night.

The historic game marked the Sun Devils’ first game as a Division I team. The game was played at Gila River Arena, the NHL home of the Arizona Coyotes, in front of a crowd of 5,385.

“It’s a great day to be a Sun Devil,” said ASU head coach Greg Powers. “We came into this game and all the way through the game really focusing on detail and execution and our systems.”

The Sun Devils’ game plan was executed near perfection as they dominated the Wildcats in almost every facet of the game. ASU outshot the Wildcats by a margin of 49-9, won 50 of 73 face-offs and scored two goals on eight powerplay opportunities.

The Wildcats certainly didn’t help themselves throughout the game as they committed 13 penalties.

“Definitely not the performance we were hoping for, but it was exactly what we deserved,” said Arizona head coach Chad Berman. “We had 25-plus minutes in penalties—that’s almost half a game in penalties against a Division I team. It’s not possible to beat them.”

ASU got off to a quick start as Connor Schmidt fired a wrist shot that banked off Arizona’s Garrett Patrick and into the goal to give the Sun Devils a 1-0 lead 7:35 into the first period. The Sun Devils’ captain, Jordan Young, responded with a power-play goal less than two minutes after ASU’s first strike.

Just when things were about to get out of hand, Arizona’s Robbie Wilkinson gave the Wildcats some hope when he retrieved a nice

chip in from Alex Nespor and fired an absolute strike to cut the lead in half.

“That was a good shot,” Powers said. “[Wilkinson] went bar down and buried it.”

Following Wilkinson’s goal, things got ugly quick for the Wildcats as they allowed six unanswered goals.

ASU showed why they are the newest D-I program: the team dominated in possession time, allowed minimal opportunity for Arizona in its own zone and baited the Wildcats into committing penalties when both teams mixed it up after the whistles.

Berman said he is not going to tolerate that type of behavior from his players moving forward.

“This program has had a history of discipline issues [on the ice,] and it’s not going to continue,” he said.

One of the few bright spots for Arizona was the play of backup goaltender, Austin Wilson, as he entered the game after Patrick allowed his seventh goal of the night.

Wilson was under siege from the Sun Devils but stopped 27 of the 28 shots he faced.

“Wilson played well. Hats off to him,” Powers said. “It’s a great way to build into the rest of their season with a kid that played well.”

ASU has won 48 out of the last 49 games against rival Arizona.

The Sun Devils will head to Anchorage, Alaska, this weekend as they play their first D-I opponents in Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Fairbanks.

Arizona will hit the road to Flagstaff to battle NAU on Saturday night.

The Wildcats will meet ASU’s squad once more this season Feb. 19, 2016, at Tucson Convention Center.

Wildcats lose in OT to Stanford

BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat

No. 17 Arizona women’s soccer was hoping for a sweep of the Bay Area schools after beating California on Friday when it took on No. 5 Stanford on Sunday morning. The Cardinal ended up beating the Wildcats 3-2 in extra time.

Arizona got off to a promising start as it held the Cardinal without a shot for the first 14 minutes of the game. The Wildcats then scored off a corner kick to take a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute.

Gabi Stoian’s corner kick was struck into the box to be collected by Paige Crouch, who took a shot at the net. The shot was saved, but the rebound went to Jaden DeGracie, who knocked it in for her second goal of the season.

“I wouldn’t have scored if Paige didn’t shoot the ball,” DeGracie said. “So Paige shot the ball, and my job, when we run a set piece, is to front the keeper—and so I was in front of her, and the ball was just coming straight towards me and the keeper, and I tried to deflect it so it would go in.”

The lead didn’t last very long, however.

In the 23rd minute, Stanford’s Haley Rosen fired a powerful shot from about 30 yards out that sailed into the top-right corner of the net.

Arizona keeper Rachel Estopare had no chance at making the save.

The Cardinal took the lead seven minutes later, and just like the first goal, this one also came on a deep shot. Andi Sullivan launched the shot from 30 yards out, and it nicked the top

of the post and went in.

The Wildcats’ defense, which came out strong at the start, lost a bit of its edge as the first half wore on.

“They are such a good team,” DeGracie said.

“I think when we did score, we kind of took it for granted and relaxed a little bit. When against a team like that, you can’t relax.”

Arizona head coach Tony Amato said Stanford’s goals were a product of the Wildcats’ defensive game plan.

“I told the girls that if they score from 30 yards out in the top corner, we’ll hold our hand up and you can blame me,” Amato said.

The head coach also mentioned the objective was to force Stanford to make shots from a distance, rather than have scoring opportunities in the box or near the net.

“If they’re going to score, make it be from there, and that’s exactly how it happened,” Amato said. “You just have to hold your hand up and say well done to [Stanford].”

Stanford’s offense continued to create scoring chances in the second half. The Cardinal finished with 28 shots in the game, but the Wildcats were able to keep it from tacking on an insurance goal.

Keeping it a one-goal game turned out to be vital. In the 71st minute, Stoian placed the ball in the bottom-left corner of the net from about 25 yards out to tie things up. It was Stoian’s sixth goal of the season and the 19th of her career.

Neither team would score in the rest of regulation, so the Wildcats went to extra time for the second time this season.

Both defenses were stout in the first extra

time, but in the second Stanford’s Kyra Carusa was able to control a loose ball in the box and put it in for the game-ending goal.

It was the second loss for Arizona this season, which is now 8-2-1 and 2-1 in the Pac12 Conference.

Normally, hanging in against Stanford for over 100 minutes would be something to be proud of, but the Wildcats are no longer interested in moral victories. It’s another sign that Arizona soccer is on the rise.

“I think it’s changed in the fact that years

ago, if you have a losing team, they look at that as a win, but … [our team] was extremely disappointed and feel like they lost, … and that tells me about our team more than anything else,” Amato said.

The Wildcats will head to Southern California next weekend to take on UCLA and USC on Friday and Sunday, respectively.

College Football Takeaways

BY Noah Sonnet

The Daily Wildcat

During a weekend full of upsets and convincing victories, week five showed us the true nature of college football and its lessons to be learned.

Just because a conference is stacked does not mean they will get a team into the playoff. Every team has bad weeks, and the No. 1 team in the country might not necessarily be the best team.

SEC top dogs slip up After Alabama and Auburn dropped games early in the season, it was fair to say Georgia and Ole Miss were in the Southeastern Conference’s driver’s seat. Instead, both teams looked like the two worst teams in the conference after recording 38-10 losses.

Granted the teams faced Alabama and Florida, but neither the Bulldogs nor the Rebels looked interested in

playing at all. Georgia couldn’t stop Alabama as it scored in almost every way possible on a football field, while Ole Miss gave the ball away more times then anyone could keep track of.

The Gators and Crimson Tide are now strongly in contention for the SEC title, while it’s going to take a lot of work for Georgia and Ole Miss to not only get back into SEC contention, but in the College Football Playoff as well.

Pac-12 stand outs If one were to think that Utah and California would be the top teams in the Pac-12 Conference midway through the season, they would have been deemed crazy. Yet here we are, as College GameDay will make a stop in Salt Lake City this week for Utah and Cal, two teams that have simply shown what it takes to win, or at least compete for, a conference title. The Utes and Golden Bears have both

made great arguments to be in this season’s playoff.

Cal, led by junior quarterback Jared Goff, has led the Golden Bears back from the dead in the Pac-12 to be one of its perennial contenders.

Utah, on the other hand, had high expectations this season but has snuck up on the rest of the country and is now ranked No. 5.

We haven’t seen a Utes team this good since the team went undefeated in 2008 and won the Sugar Bowl over Alabama. One thing is for certain; with these two teams, GameDay is in for a big treat this week.

Arizona cheerleaders run onto the field with flags held high at Arizona Stadium before the Wildcats’ game against UCLA on Saturday, Sept. 26. Week five of the college football season brought injuries, miscues and top upsets.

Roar, Tigers, roar Clemson entered the season favored to win the ACC and as a playoff dark horse. Coming into its matchup against Notre Dame, the Fighting Irish were also considered a playoff dark horse, so something had to give.

The Irish fell to the Tigers as

quarterback DeShone Kizer failed to convert a game-tying, two-point conversion in the final seconds of play.

Clemson has shown all the makings of a playoff team, as sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson has developed into a complete quarterback. Now, with

Tyler baker/The Daily Wildcat

only Florida State standing in its way, Clemson could very well finish the season undefeated and make a run at the playoff.

Undesirable position sparks shortage by greg castro

The Daily Wildcat

I

n high school, I had a pretty great (and eccentric) enrichment teacher, who also served as career adviser to each of her students. While I’ve always been set on filmmaking, she made a pretty strong case for going into education.

“The world will always need more teachers,” she would say. “Of course, smart kids like you, you don’t want to be teachers.”

Therein lies perhaps one of the greatest catch-22s of the American educational system. The public needs smart, charismatic people to become teachers, but smart, charismatic people typically want to go off and pursue their own specialized careers. This is not to say that there aren’t any good teachers right now. Of course there are. There just aren’t enough.

At the UA, our most popular majors are the usual suspects: business, marketing, biological sciences and bowling management. Education tends to fall further down that list. And yet, according to research done by the Arizona Daily Star, Arizona had 217 vacant teaching positions

as of July 17. No such statistic exists indicating a lack of business professionals or medical professionals or, least of all, filmmakers.

Ostensibly, the major deterrent to a career in education is the paycheck. The last National Education Association study has the average Arizona educator making around $45K a year, which is just at the average. On top of that, working in education is often a thankless job.

The current Davids v. New York lawsuit, filed in July 2014, sees the New York Parents Union suing to remove several tenants of the state’s education laws protecting teachers.

Regardless of the actual merits of this case, it represents the volatile nature of the teaching profession.

If students fail, then parents criticize the teachers first, rather than first assessing whether the students themselves, or perhaps the broader educational system,

“

are the problem.

That’s hardly an enticing advertisment for the profession, though. In many ways, it points to what is actually so interesting about the education field. In today’s world, working in say, an elementary school, means encountering challenges related to race, mental health, parenting and, of course, politics.

University students could hardly ask for a more exciting occupation.

I grew up and received a truly wonderful education in Overland Park, Kansas, despite our governor, the probably evil Sam Brownback, . cutting education funds at nearly every opportunity.

Now that I go to school in Arizona, I like to say that I’ve survived being educated in the two states with the worst possible governments.

Despite this joke, I feel a legitimate sense of dread for the public institutions

In today’s world, working in say, an elementary school, means encountering challenges related to race, mental health, parenting and, of course, politics. University students could hardly ask for a more exciting occupation

that I owe so much to, gutted as they constantly are by greedy conservatives who want nothing more than to see education privatized. Such an event would prove devastating to the nation, with students being forced into learning only what private interests deem appropriate.

With that in mind, the mission then falls squarely in the lap of the current generation. We need young people who are willing to look past the material gains of more lucrative professions and commit to ensuring that future generations have the teaching support they need. Beyond this, the country needs teachers who truly see their work as a calling, who will endure budget cuts, lack of resources, problem students and problem parents.

Otherwise, the public education system faces a dark, uncertain future.

While university students are certainly free to pursue whatever career they choose, they might stop to look back once in a while and consider that the place they are most needed might just be the very place that started them on their current career path.

Illegal Pete’s appropriates, discriminates BY genesis lara

A

s the Mexican food restaurant Illegal Pete’s comes to our community on University Boulevard, the controversy behind its name has resurfaced into the spotlight.

When the chain first opened in Boulder, Colorado, attention was brought to the restaurant’s name for its implied generalization that all Mexicans are undocumented migrants. However, the feud ended when restaurant founder Pete Turner refused to change the name, clarifying it was a reference to a book he read in college and homage to his father.

that to Tucson’s larger 29.84 percent Mexican population, the explanation that Turner uses to ease the controversy simply isn’t good enough.

Turner doesn’t build a strong, credible base, considering he doesn’t mention a title or author or even any elucidation on the literary reference.

The significance behind this controversy is not whether Mexicans are offended by it; the sheer existence of the discriminatory reference is available for everyone to follow.

Craigslist pets irresponsible choice BY trey ross

The Daily Wildcat

I

had been entertaining the idea of getting a bunny for some time, but the hassle of filling out an application and waiting during the screening process at an animal shelter didn’t appeal to me.

As a result of my generation’s addiction to instant gratification, I turned to an option that I now fully regret: Craigslist.

I found an ad for a bunny that looked cute and fluffy and texted the contact.

The next day, she was mine.

During our first encounter, she was shy and well behaved, and I thought I had won the jackpot of pet adoptions. I was so wrong.

Just three days later, my new bunny was charging me and my roommates, trying to bite us and rampaging through our house.

Contrary to the ad on Craigslist, she was not litter-box trained.

Maybe I was a bad bunny mom, or maybe this man had slipped the animal a Benadryl. The world will never know.

Now I know why there is an application

and screening process at animal shelters and rescue centers. Not only have they had time to observe the animal, but they must also consider if the person’s home and lifestyle will be suitable.

Craigslist offers a place for people to sell virtually anything, but it should not be a place for animals.

Not only do those putting their pets up for adoption not know what type of person is going to adopt their pet, but potential owners have no idea about the history of the pet they’re adopting.

It’s a lose-lose situation.

I adopted a rabbit having no idea what type of home she was used to, if she was spayed, if she had been abused or if she had all of her vaccinations.

Just because Craigslist is the most

convenient option for college students doesn’t mean that’s how we should get pets. Especially because we are younger, adults can take advantage of us when it comes to payment or even the true history of an animal.

Some Craigslist ads will ask for a re-homing fee, which is similar to an adoption fee.

Other users might be desperate to get rid of the animal, and their ads might read “free to a good home.”

One Green Planet published an article in April that detailed issues with “free to a good home” ads on Craigslist.

The article touched on the issues of animal cruelty and neglect.

Many people troll Craigslist for pet ads in order to get free animals to sell for profit, use in breeding or even bait in dogfights.

business, rather than standing up for the Hispanic minority, customers are also contributing to the idea that it is okay to paint minorities as inferior figures.

After Herrera and a few other people from the Guerrero Student Center spoke to Tucson’s Hispanic Chamber of Commerce about the importance of acting against such an offensive business entering our community, the topic was shrugged off because the only thing that mattered to chamber members was that the employees are treated with respect. In a few words, there’s no rule stating one has to respect our community while simultaneously consuming its culture.

It is disappointing to see that even a group dedicated solely to the Hispanic businesses in our community won’t act upon such disrespect regarding its audience.

We tend to only act only when things get violent, but it is

life—whether they are alive or inanimate objects. The Wildcat Marketplace and UA Free & For Sale Facebook pages open our doors even wider. While both require users to have a UA email in order to join the group, it’s still not the right place to sell an animal.

Right now on Wildcat Marketplace, users could sublease someone’s apartment or buy a television. Just like Craigslist, why has it become acceptable to put live animals in an ad next to skateboard wheels or a chemistry textbook?

In a city where we already have a large issue with stray cats and dogs, I am asking potential pet owners and adopters to take a few minutes to consider a more regulated adoption experience instead of meeting up with a weird guy in a parking lot.

Google Image search “ban Craigslist pets” and I guarantee you will think twice about buying a pet or selling one on this web market, but be warned: what you see will horrify and disgust you.

For now, I’ll stick to my fish.

simple acts like this that lead up to the bigger events. If we don’t address small but significant issues like this one, we will never change the way that American society views all immigrants.

You cannot use a certain culture for your own profit and then discriminate or delegitimize its people. You cannot come into a new community and paint the greater portion of its population as inferior and criminal.

We cannot just shrug it off our shoulders and act as if it doesn’t cause any harm to our community. As a state with such a large Hispanic population, we have a responsibility to stand up against the dehumanization of immigrants.

Magic comes alive at Hotel Congress

BY Alex Guyton

The Daily Wildcat

The black magic of the bayou has come to Tucson. Every Thursday and Friday in October, Hotel Congress will play host to Magic Kenny Bang Bang, Midnight Malanga and their “Voodoo & Black Magic” show.

I was able to attend an advanced show, and I survived the encounters with the occult to bring you my take.

We were met in the lobby by a Mr. Delacroix, a tall man outfitted in a red blazer, black flat cap and wooden cane. He looks like he calls Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion his second home, and he served as our guide through Hotel Congress. He fit the role to a tee.

Following Delacroix up the stairs, the group landed on the second floor. As someone who has only known Hotel Congress as a one-floor establishment that’s packed wall-towall with 20-somethings clamoring to get a drink and hear each other over the roaring din of the Thursdaythrough-Saturday social scene, it was a slight surprise to actually see the second floor.

We gathered in an open sitting room, and Delacroix informed us of the hotel’s infamous history in relation to notorious bank robber John Dillinger.

For those not in the know, Dillinger and his crew were laying low at Hotel Congress in 1934 when a fire inexplicably broke out. In short, the fire would eventually lead to Dillinger’s capture and destroy the entire third floor, except for one room.

After the history lesson, Delacroix led us around the second floor, taking us to rooms that were known to have experienced paranormal activity.

Outside of one of the rooms, Delacroix passed around both a ring and a sample of water from the River Jordan that once belonged to a since-deceased elderly man. One of the members of our group, a woman with a shock of neon-red hair, went and stood in the corner, not wanting to be near the objects, let alone touch them.

We were led to The Hidden Room on the third floor—the room that was spared from the 1934 fire—where we were met by Magic Kenny Bang Bang and his assistant, Midnight Malanga.

Zi Yang Lai/The Daily Wildcat

Magic Kenny Bang Bang performs a sleight of hand trick at Hotel Congress. Hotel Congress will feature “Voodoo & Black Magic” throughout the month of October.

Kenny is a consummate showman with a flair for personality and flair for dress, while Malanga is darker and more soft-spoken, wearing a blood-red dress.

The room felt like an attic: old, wooden, dark and forgotten. Well, apart from the Voodoo shrine at the front, complete with animal skulls and a doll with needles protruding from it.

Kenny walked us through some of the Voodoo spirits we would be interacting with, the most important of whom was Papa Legba. He is the one that opens and closes communication between humans and the other spirits.

“Voodoo & Black Magic” was

a fairly typical magic show with Voodoo window dressing. There were some sleight of hand card tricks. There was also the staple of the magician knowing the word that someone had written down on a piece of paper.

In each case, the prestidigitation was attributed to the spirits that were among us, which felt a little weird, considering that everyone has seen card tricks performed without the aid of Papa Legba and his friends.

However, there were also some eye-catching feats. The best of which, the finale, saw Kenny and Malanga turn dried snakeskin and fire into an actual snake that Malanga nonchalantly draped around her

shoulders and paraded around to the audience.

There were times when the performance felt unsure of itself, and the transitions between acts were a little uneven at others. I’ll attribute that to the show being one of the very first of its month-long run.

In the end, though, Kenny and Malanga successfully performed each illusion without a hitch, even under the keen eye of an inebriated audience member who was not afraid to speak her mind when she thought something didn’t add up.

Cost of admission is fairly priced, with a ticket costing $15 at the door.

The whole event takes roughly a brisk hour.

Unfortunately, there is a “21-andup” age restriction. This is a curious limitation, considering that the content of the show is firmly in PG13 territory.

With a price that’s on par with a trip to the movies and a light running time, this show is an economical way to get in the Halloween mood and kick off the night if you plan on carousing about downtown afterward.

Calexico puts Tucson to music

Rebecca Noble/The Daily Wildcat

Joey Burns, one of two founding members of Calexico, in concert at the Rialto Theatre at 318 E. Congress St. on Saturday, Oct. 3. Joey Burns and John Convertino founded the Tucson-based band in the mid-1990’s.

Calexico played at the Rialto this weekend, and the band’s music encompassed the soul of Tucson

BY Thea Van Gorp The Daily Wildcat

Calexico’s show at the Rialto Theatre proved more special than one might realize. The historic venue approaches its 100th birthday in 2020 and is now under new management by The Rialto Theater Foundation.

Before the band rocked out, a brief video streamed, telling the story behind the Rialto. Since opening in 1920, the Rialto has changed over the years to become the people’s theater that it is today.

A sense of community overtook the atmosphere in the Rialto, and with that, the musicians graced the stage.

The extremely small opener, Gaby Moreno, surprised me. Her guitar was wider than she was and looked enormous in her hands. But the music she produced was huge and incredibly powerful.

Moreno sang native Guatemalan folk songs with an unmissable, unmistakably

raw, Spanish sound. She performed songs both in English and Spanish, and blew the crowd away with the impressive control she has over her voice.

Moreno is quite obviously talented and a wonderful voice to carry the sound of Tucson.

Moreno continued to play, and Calexico’s members joined her one by one. It was clear that Tucson was the band’s home, as it melded into the stage as it had been there all along.

There is a country flair to Calexico’s music communicated by rhythmic acoustic guitars and electric slide guitars.

But it also has a very Tex-Mex, mariachi vibe, with beautifully bright trumpets and an accordion. The band instrumentally expands much further than this, though, and seems to some degree experimental, almost taking on an indie-rock sound with precise percussion and colorful accents from vibraphones and keyboards.

Calexico’s harmonies fill out every song

to its fullest potential. There really aren’t proper words to describe this type of music. Listening to it makes you feel as if you’re in the Wild West with a margarita in your hand, surrounded by friends, dancing the night away as a tumbleweed rolls by. Basically a typical night out in Tucson.

All the musicians onstage had their own unique persona, which added to Calexico’s wonderful, musical family. Musically, they were very fine-tuned and in-sync with one another. Even with the guests Calexico brought on stage—which included an actual mariachi group, a vocalist, a trumpet player and a harmonica player­— they were able to jive as if they had been playing together for years.

Calexico made it clear that it is part of our Tucson community and is very happy to be. Many of its songs mentioned family, Tucson scenery and other aspects that are specifically Tucson.

The Rialto was filled, I am sure, close

to its maximum capacity with people of all ages. From babies to people in wheelchairs, each was just as excited as the next to have Calexico on stage.

There was a wonderful connection between artist and audience, as band member Joey Burns told stories of his times in Tucson and the love he shares for this city. This passion was translated very clearly in the songs Calexico played.

Between its high energy, musical expertise and the sense of family it created, Calexico made this night at The Rialto Theater personal and unforgettable.

Definitely be sure to catch the band next time it returns to its home stage.

Modernism comes alive

BY ALEX ANGELES

The Daily Wildcat

If one fancies to travel back into the past, and maybe take a little back to the future with them, Tucson residents need not look further than Tucson Modernism Week, an event that is taking place this week.

Thanks to the Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation, the fourth annual Tucson Modernism Week is gracing downtown Tucson with authentic relics of the nation’s modernist past. Beginning as only a small, four-day event, Modernism Week has expanded into a nineday convention, featuring lecturers speaking on the style of modernism and its effects on the history of Tucson, including retro bus tours of all the examples of modernism on Tucson’s Miracle Mile.

At that time, the Modern movement began to affect lifestyle choices in many cities across America. Tucson was not exempt from this sweeping change in mindset that broke away from the classical and traditional ways of looking at art, design and social interaction.

Demion Clinco, committee chairman for Tucson Modernism Week and CEO for the Tucson Preservation Foundation, shared his views on the importance of the convention.

“It’s a time to celebrate the style that helped shape Tucson into the city that it is today,” Clinco said. “It is part of the city’s identity, one that should be embraced and remembered.”

Tucson Modernism Week is not only a place to hear and see the modern style of the ’40s-’60s, but visitors can also take pieces of that era with them. In the Tucson Convention Center, a small marketplace was constructed for businesses to sell refurbished products as well as new modernist items to attendees’ of Tucson Modernism Week. There visitors found a variety of items, ranging from vintage eyeglass frames to retro-styled furniture.

Shawn Silberblatt, one of the business owners at Tucson Modernism Week, explained his experience at the event.

“Oh, it’s awesome! It’s a lot of fun,” Silberblatt said. “Anytime you get like-minded people together, it’s

amazing, especially with modern furniture and design. It’s just such a great experience.”

This year, Tucson Modernism Week is focused on the style of the “post WWII era.” Modernism traces its beginnings back to France in the late 1800s, but didn’t become an extremely well-known movement or have a major effect in the U.S. until after the second World War, around the 1940s to the 1960s.

The convention started on Friday and goes on until Saturday, Oct. 10.

Although some of the events are free, such as the exhibits, most cost money. The prices of the events cost from $5-$25. Tickets can be found at tucsonmod.com From restored vintage trailers to exhibits of Danish furniture, Tucson Modernism Week has all that anyone could look for regarding modern style.

For those seeking to find something new by looking into the past, Tucson Modernism Week is an event that should not be missed.

New satire mocks Documentaries

BY Alex Furrier

The Daily Wildcat

Satire perilously rides the line between comedy and being a jerk. Stalwart satirical shows like “South Park” and the recently departed “Colbert Report” put on masterclasses in satire by revealing the many shades within the satirical color palette while still fitting under the “damn funny” category.

“Documentary Now!,” a new show from IFC, is the latest to capture such complex satire.

I don’t know how “Documentary Now!” managed to get greenlighted, but I sure am glad it did. In terms of “niche” shows, this one takes the cake.

The ideal audience for the show would be the small segment of society with a vast knowledge of documentaries and an offbeat sense of humor. This is a show for people who love “Portlandia” and who constantly browse the documentary section of Netflix.

Despite having such a niche demographic, the show remains enjoyable for anyone in the mood for top-notch satire.

“Documentary Now!” is the brainchild of former “Saturday Night Live” buddies Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, Fred Armisen and Rhys Thomas. The show spoofs various famous documentaries and documentary genres, with chameleon co-stars Armisen and Hader leading the way under the guise of a million different characters.

For a show in its first season, the amount of polish on “Documentary Now!” is impressive. Each episode maintains a vibrant energy that powers each ridiculous premise just enough to fill 23 minutes without growing stale.

This is no easy task in today’s comedic habitat, where comedic sketches must remain under five minutes, lest the attention spans of potential YouTube viewers run out.

What sets “Documentary Now!” apart is its individually curated form of satire that coats each spoofed documentary style.

“DRONEZ: The Hunt for El Chingon” marks the first hallmark of satire: the skewering.

The third episode mocks VICE documentaries along with hipster startup culture. The episode finds Armisen and Hader as two brotype journalists stumbling around Mexico in search for cartel drug lord El Chingon.

The two exhibit zero journalistic

professionalism and instead prefer the investigative method of constantly doing the dumbest thing possible. Of course this doesn’t end well for the pair, as they end up being gunned down when they answer the door to El Chingon’s henchmen.

Two more DRONEZ—the stand in for VICE—”journalists” take up the task of finding El Chingon.

These two last about five minutes before dying as well. The sheer level of stupidity and disregard for human life that permeates the episode directly mocks the superficiality of many VICE documentaries.

The next episode, “The Eye Doesn’t Lie,” parodies “The Thin Blue Line” and crime documentaries, the hooks of which always center around getting to the bottom of things, but “for real this time.”

The level at which “Documentary Now!” captures the aesthetics of its subjects is a marvel. If I watched the “Documentary Now!” version

and the originals, side by side and without sound, I wouldn’t feel confident picking out the real versus the fake.

“The Eye Doesn’t Lie” features telltale aesthetics of crime documentaries, such as close-up subject interviews, overly dramatic re-enactments and transitional shots of the newspapers covering the crime and trial.

Rather than outright mocking its subject in this episode, “Documentary Now!” pokes fun at the fact that all crime dramas find their appeal in potentially uncovering the truth that everyone missed the first time around. “The Eye Doesn’t Lie” blows this up to ridiculous proportions by making the truth everyone wanted to uncover incredibly obvious from the beginning.

Yes, the subject of the documentary is innocent, but no one cares. This leads to many hilarious moments, including a taped confession of the real killer garnering almost no reaction to the

accuastion: “Well, everyone knows you did it.”

However, the highlight of “Documentary Now!” comes with its two-part episode on the rise and fall of the Blue Jean Committee band.

Music documentaries, especially “History of the Eagles,” are paid tribute to in “Gentle & Soft: The Story of the Blue Jean Committee.”

Rather than the mocking nature of “DRONEZ: The Hunt for El Chingon” or the poking fun of “The Eye Doesn’t Lie,” the Blue Jean Committee celebrates everything about band documentaries, and in doing so transcends the cynical nature of satire.

Rather than satirizing with the intent of pointing out how stupid something is, which makes up 99 percent of all satire, this episode creates a narrative and characters that can stand completely on their own.

I would watch a full-length documentary on fictional characters Gene and Clark and their

band, the Blue Jean Committee.

The first episode sets up the rise of the Blue Jean Committee, and the second chronicles their breakup and eventual bittersweet reunion at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

The empathy that organically grows from this episode surprised me, as I can’t remember ever being emotionally invested in any kind of spoof material.

Individual care and attention to detail give a heart to “Documentary Now!”. Although its audience would logically be tiny, this heart is relatable enough to expand to all potential viewers.

“Documentary Now!” captures its intended satirical targets with piercing accuracy, a feat that should be rewarded with a growing audience.

Come for the spoofs, stay for the feels.
