Candidates talk economy, border security, gun control BY MAX RODRIGUEZ The Daily Wildcat
Democratic incumbent Ron Barber sparred with Republican challenger Martha McSally in a combative debate at the Arizona Public Media studios on the UA campus Tuesday night. The candidates discussed the economy, border security and gun control. Barber cited his record as one of the most independent voices in Congress as a reason why southern Arizonans should vote for him, while McSally said that she is a proven leader due to her time in the armed forces. The debate became

contentious when Barber said McSally is creating a false image as a moderate candidate when she supported the Paul Ryan budget in 2012, which would “privatize Medicare,” “slash” Federal Pell Grants and raise taxes on the middle class, according to Barber. Barber said that all
of these were examples of McSally’s positions always coinciding with the overall positions of the Republican Party. “Now as we get close, [McSally] wants to be moderate,” Barber said. “She needs to be truthful.” Barber’s claim comes from an interview McSally
conducted with KGUN 9 News in April 2012. McSally was quick to dispute these claims. “I have never supported the things he is talking about,” she said. McSally added that she has repeatedly said she would not vote for the Ryan budget, contrary to what she said in 2012. McSally said the quotation is taken out of context, as she said she was merely choosing between three bad budgets. Another focal point in the debate was securing Arizona’s border with Mexico. “Our legal system and immigration system are broken,” McSally said. McSally said that one

solution is to monitor and intercept activity and to rely on local commanders. Barber said that he would support an immigration bill proposed by Arizona senators John McCain and Jeff Flake, which would crack down on employers of illegal immigrants and put more U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on the border. The candidates were particularly aggressive when discussing an advertisement recently run by the Americans for Responsible Solutions PAC, which claimed McSally opposed legislation making it harder for stalkers to get

COMMUNICATION AND journalism senior and former Daily Wildcat employee Briana Sanchez learns to prepare cauliflower buffalo bites during this week’s installment of Cooking on Campus at the Student Recreation Center Instructional Kitchen on Tuesday. This week’s class, led by student chef and nutritional sciences junior Dorine Owusu-Nyarko, features “Guilt-Free Tailgating” recipes, including cauliflower buffalo bites, guacamole, chicken skewers and flavored water.
The Interfraternity Council at the UA donated a $13,000 check to Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse in front of Old Main, marking its largest contribution to date. UA’s IFC makes a contribution to the women’s shelter and domestic abuse support charity every year. Dean Avrahami, executive vice president of the IFC at the UA, works directly with the charity and was excited by the attendance at the check donation ceremony. “Currently, we have the CEO of Emerge! present, we have IFC council members present and we have chapter presidents here as well,” Avrahami said. Brian Kewin, vice president of communications for the IFC and member of Sigma Chi, said that the contribution to Emerge! comes in part from recruitment fees. “The issue is becoming more prevalent, so we decided that our contribution should be larger,” Kewin said. “This is up to our largest contribution of all time purely because we wanted it to be.” According to Ed Mercurio-Sakwa, chief executive officer of Emerge!, the IFC has typically donated about $10,000 per year the past few years, and that any amount donated is a substantional help. Mercurio-Sakwa was presented the check on the steps of Old Main and explained what made him happiest about the donation. “What’s really meaningful to us is that a bunch

Galapagos study abroad canceled BY FELIPE MORENO
The Daily Wildcat
A Summer Abroad trip to the Galapagos Islands specially designed for ecology and evolutionary biology majors was officially cancelled Tuesday. Students majoring in ecology and evolutionary biology who need this class to fulfill a field component to complete their major had been attending informational sessions in anticipation for their summer 2015 trip to the Galapagos Islands, said Samantha Schuster, an anthropology and ecology and evolutionary biology junior. In 2003, Katrina Mangin, director of the science education outreach department of ecology and evolutionary biology, and her colleague from the nature conservancy in New Mexico, Dave Gori, began creating a rigorous, 18day, pre-planned experience in the Galapagos Islands. In 2009, the UA Study Abroad and Global Initiatives department approached Mangin to help run the trip in conjunction with the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Mangin would have ideally taught the summer course, but she said she decided not to teach the class this summer and was
planning to go to Africa with her husband and some friends. Mangin began recruiting students for the summer 2015 trip three years ago through her Marine Awareness and Conservation Society club, according to Schuster. “I went to informational meetings with her,” Schuster said. “They’ve pitched for two years that they were offering it this year, because they were waiting for a big group of us to go.” Schuster said she knew of at least 10 students from that club alone that planned on going to the trip this summer. According to Mangin’s website, a minimum of 10 students is required for the trip to happen. Despite the ongoing recruitment process by Mangin and Jill Calderon, program director for Latin America Project Development for the Study Abroad Office, Calederon said she and Mangin “were surprised that there’s a sudden surge of interest in the program, considering that [Study Abroad] hasn’t specifically recruited for it. Besides the application and the website itself, there was no representation for the program at our study abroad fair.” This lack of representation for the Galapagos trip at the Study Abroad Fair on Sept. 24 caught prospective students by surprise,

which prompted them to email Mangin inquiring about the trip. According the Schuster, “[Mangin] emailed one student and said that she was going to Africa, and that the trip isn’t
happening anymore. She hasn’t responded to anyone else in over a week.” Mangin said she knew she
