OPINION | VOTE OVER THERE
We need more polling places on campus BY KAYLEIGH COOK @kayleig17913589
T
he University of Arizona is a diverse student body, driving many political groups to exist on campus. Young Democrats of the UA, the UA College Republicans, TurningPoint, NextGen Youth Council, Defend Our Future, the list goes on and on. Every single one of these groups has multiple agendas all differing from one another, but they all have a common ground: getting young people to vote. As we all have heard, people aged 18-29 years have the lowest voter turnout of any age group. According to the Census Bureau, the 18-29 age group had a turnout of 35.6% in the 2018 midterms. While that number is on the rise, according to the same article, the largest voting age group remains to be the 65+ age group, almost doubling the 1829 voter turnout, with a turnout of 66.1% as of 2018. As someone who canvassed for the 2018 midterms and knows many of the excuses people give for not wanting to register to vote, I know the struggles of the aforementioned student political groups. According to Youth Service America, some reasons young people don’t vote are because they hold the belief that their opinion and vote will not matter or make a difference, or that they’re too uneducated to vote. Getting through to this age group is a huge obstacle, but as it turns out, getting young people to register to vote is only half of the work. According to the same article, another big reason young people don’t vote is scheduling conflicts with election days. Most of the time, people this age

are at minimum wage jobs that they can’t afford to take a few hours off from, or they are in school and they can’t get to their designated polling location on election day. So not only do many canvassing and political groups have to educate people on candidates, policies and the democratic process in general, they also have the difficult task of helping people get to their polling place on election day. When I got to the UA, I was incredibly surprised to hear that the polling place for students living on campus is an off-campus location. I’m from Flagstaff, just a few hours north of Tucson and home of Northern Arizona University. NAU had a student body of 29,031 as of 2015, which is a little more than half the size of UA’s student population that same year. When I canvassed last year, we got a lot of students to register to vote. The polling place for students and residents in the area was the Dome, NAU’s stadium,
which is located in the middle of campus, where every student could at least walk to. At the UA, not only are scheduling conflicts an obstacle for young voter turnout, but the ability to get to a polling place undercuts a massive part of the student population who live on or near campus and do not have cars. I find this situation very disconcerting and frustrating. The fact that the UA does not have more polling locations besides ASUA on campus, is essentially disenfranchising the student body who do not have cars available to them while in college. Getting young people active in the community seems to be a value that the UA prides itself on, yet one of the best ways to be involved with your community is basically impossible for some students here. At the end of the election cycle, it does not matter whether or not you are educated on policies or candidates, whether or not issues directly affect you or even that you care about voting at all. It matters whether or not you can get to a polling location to cast your vote. I propose the solution of designating the Bear Down Stadium to be a voting place for students and faculty on election day. Having a polling location within 10-20 minute walking and biking distance of every building on campus would be largely beneficial to the young voter turnout in Tucson. It would be of little to no cost to the UA and it would be a huge opportunity to engage in our democracy, from creating many volunteer opportunities to just getting out and voting. I hope to see the UA designate Bear Down Stadium as our polling place for the upcoming February election, and to everyone reading this, remember to do your best to get out and vote! — Kayleigh Cook is a freshman studying philosophy, politics, economics and law

NEWS | TAILGATE ECONOMICS
Family Weekend brings extra cash to Wildcat country
BY NOAH CULLEN @noahcullen8
The annual Family Weekend Tailgate, held this year on Saturday, Oct. 12, is sold out. Family Weekend is the time of year where families from all over the country and world come to visit their kids. According to the University of Arizona’s Institutional Budget Document, the projected number of undergrad non-resident students for Fiscal Year 2018 was 12,674. The projected number of graduate non-resident students was 3,869. Family Weekend also brings an extra dose of money to Wildcat country, creating higher profits for the businesses surrounding the university. Illegal Pete’s can see anywhere from a 30% increase in sales for the week, according to data supplied by the restaurant. It is one of the biggest weekends for the restaurant along with the weeks of graduation and homecoming, according to April Ramirez, the general manager of Illegal Pete’s. The attendance limit of the tailgate increased after selling out, according to Annamarie Tellez, the director of UA Parent and Family Programs. “We were originally going to be conservative and start with 200 guests, and that sold out
probably within two days,” Tellez said. “So we increased the number to 500, and, again, it sold out so quickly.” There are three different price points for the tailgate and football game depending on what families want to do. For just the tailgate, with food and drinks, the ticket price is $25. A ticket for the tailgate and game with upper-level seating costs $35. Finally, a ticket for the tailgate and game with lower-level seating costs $50. There is another event on Saturday called the Family Fun Zone for family ambiance and meeting. 1,200 people have RSVP’d so far. The cost to attend is $5. “Next year, we’re going to try and combine that Family Fun Zone and Tailgate where anyone can have the opportunity to purchase on-site and make it fully inclusive,” Tellez said. Not all of the events have an entrance fee, however. The Ice Cream Social Wildcat Family Welcome event held on Friday, Oct. 11 from 4-5 p.m. is free. The money spent on football tickets goes to Arizona Athletics, but other than that, all of the money is going to the event, according to Tellez. “We’re covering the expenses of tent rentals, cost of food, the cost for the bartender to be onsite and we also have to pay security, so if you’re doing the math, we’re not actually generating any

revenue,” Tellez said. The rent for the tents, tables and chairs is the greatest expense, according to Tellez. Sponsors cover the cost of the Family Fun Zone event, Tellez said. One of the campus’ partners, the Thrive Center, is providing free popcorn and a photo booth. This will help to alleviate some of the cost.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona is sponsoring the DJ on the UA Mall for Saturday’s festivities, according to Tellez. “I think everyone seems to be on board,” Tellez said, “and they understand the learning outcomes and our overall mission of making this a fully inclusive and accessible event.”

Get a taste of local culture at Tucson Meet Yourself
FREE ADMISSION
THE 86,400 SECOND TUCSON COMEDY TELETHON
Iranian-Student’s Cultural Association is just one of the many diverse groups to find this weekend at the folk festival. To add a bit of extra flair to the event, there is an additional theme chosen annually. This year’s theme is “California Traditions” and it will feature a variety of Californian artists presenting work that meshes well with the established themes of Tucson heritage. One such group is Cambalache, a Los Angeles folk music group hailing from Veracruz, Mexico, that will collaborate with the Tucson group Son Jarocho Collective. Expect there to be other collaborative acts at the festival. Tucson Meet Yourself takes place from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. While admission is free, donations are appreciated. For more information about Tucson Meet Yourself, its vendors or the festival schedule, or if you are interested in volunteering, visit the festival website at tucsonmeetyourself.org.
720 W. Silverlake Rd.
Alvarez suggested that a strong motivator for the vendors at Tucson Meet Yourself is the desire to share their culture with the rest of Tucson. One such group is the IranianStudents’ Cultural Association in Tucson, which consists of nearly 300 students from the UA. The organization prides itself on representing their culture not only on campus but at the yearly folk festival. Arash Nikvar Hassani, a second year Ph.D. student in civil engineering and president of the club, looks forward to presenting food and other aspects of culture to festival attendants. “The main thing is cooking traditional food, but we also set up the booth to show culture [and] photos from different parts of Iran,” Nikvar Hassani said. Nikvar Hassani also hopes to show the Tucson community another side of Iran that is not portrayed in the media today. “See our culture and enjoy our food,” Nikvar Hassani said. “We are ready to share how our people are kind, friendly and hospitable.”

The annual folklife festival, Tucson Meet Yourself, is hitting the streets around Jácome Plaza this weekend, bringing food, entertainment and heritage to the Tucson area for a celebration of local culture and a splash of California tradition. Set for Oct. 11-13 and spanning four city blocks, the festival is free to the public and has a packed schedule of live entertainment spanning all three days. According to Kimi Eisele, the communications director, Tucson Meet Yourself has historically drawn an attendance of over 120,000 people with an estimated $3.5 million impact on the local economy. This is accomplished primarily via the festival’s trademark attraction: the food stands. There will be “over 50 food vendors representing 30 countries and regions,” Eisele said. In a city that is heralded for its gastronomy, Tucson Meet Yourself presents a unique opportunity
for attendees to taste a variety of traditional cuisine prepared by community members. This is also an opportunity for those who can’t operate year-round to be in business for a few days. Most of the food sells for less than $12, according to Eisele, but for many vendors, those purchases will go a long way towards supporting their cultural activities yearround. This doesn’t just apply to food vendors. Eisele emphasized that for musicians and other live performers, Tucson Meet Yourself is a mutually beneficial relationship for vendors and visitors alike. “Part of Tucson Meet Yourself ’s beauty is that it supports Tucson’s cultural workers,” said Maribel Alvarez, the festival curator and associate professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona. “It does that by offering vending space at low cost and paying performers for their appearances.” According to Eisele, 15% of the festival budget will pay the artists performing at Tucson Meet Yourself.

2. Environment and Natural Resources 2
The UA is dedicated to environmental sustainability, and as a monument to that dedication, the ENR2 building was constructed. According to the Institute of the Environment, ENR2 is built like a natural slot canyon and uses the desert environment to its advantage with energy efficient architecture, rainwater harvesting and low-flow faucets.
1. Old Main
Old Main is the most historic building on the University of Arizona campus. Having opened in 1891 as the School of Agriculture, it was the first building on the property. Home to only 32 students and six faculty members, Old Main stood solitary on the desert plain. But over the next century or so, as the rest of campus was built around it, Old Main would bear witness to all the incredible tragedies and immeasurable successes that befell the UA and its students. Old Main is older than the state of Arizona itself, which only gained statehood in 1912, and is one of the oldest academic buildings in the nation.
3. Olive Trees
8. Tree Ring Lab
The history of dendrochronology at the UA traces as far back as 1937, but the far newer Bryant Bannister Tree-Ring building, home to the esteemed Laboratory of Tree Ring Research, is still a beauty. The building was designed to resemble a treehouse, with hanging metal tubes like palo verde trees, a round trunk and offices suspended in the air. At night, the trunk illuminates bright yellow from the inside of the building.
7. Curving Arcades
6. Student Union Memorial Center
The Student Union Memorial Center is where students spend much of their time, but it is so much more than that. Though originally built in 1951, the Student Union was renamed and renovated in 1999 in honor of the U.S.S. Arizona, a navy battleship that was destroyed at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The renovations were modeled after the battleship itself and has several public installations dedicated to those lives lost at Pearl Harbor, including dog tag windchimes and the historic bell rescued from the wreckage of the U.S.S. Arizona.
For the past 20 years, the “Curving Arcades” have been called many names by passers-by — the clothespins, the tweezers, the wishbones. They were installed by Athena Tacha as the “Curving Arcades (Homage to Bernini).” The installation was incredibly controversial at the time of its inception, but the giant wishbones are now a local landmark.

According to Elizabeth Davison, Founding Director of the UA Campus Arboretum, the olive trees on the west side of campus were first planted in 1895 by Robert Forbes, the first head of the Agriculture Experiment Station. The result of an experimental assessment of Mediterranian plants in Tucson, the olive trees are a living reminder of how the UA has influenced daily life in Arizona through science and research.
4. Border Dynamics Sculpture
As a university in the borderlands, the “Border Dynamics” sculpture near the Harvill building is one of the most important public works on campus, according to the UA Museum of Art. Giant human forms, their flesh exposed, press themselves against a border wall. It is difficult to tell whether the figures on either side are trying to push the wall down or hold it up — an intentional result of the piece. The UA’s location near the border places it as one of the most prominent academic institutions in borderland research.
5. Front Row Center
From the Front Row Center, one can sit in that courtyard and see the most active part of the arts district. The work was built by Tucson native Barbara Grygutis and commissioned to provide an interactive work of art that was representative of the arts at the UA. The blue tile benches and bronze statuary chairs are woven beneath a canopy of native trees. Across from them, a great collection of other permanent public art installations can be seen.

Family Weekend bears Friday deals BY CIARA JEAN @DailyWildcat
Family Weekend Bear Down Friday is coming to Main Gate Square on Oct. 11. Family Weekend is a time when families come from all over to see their students, possibly for the first time since the year began in August. This gives families a chance to experience the Tucson community and see what it means to be a Wildcat by experiencing University of Arizona traditions, including the classic Bear Down Friday. This year will be the 14th year that Main Gate Square and UA’s ZonaZoo will host the event, according to Jane McCollum, general manager of the Marshall Foundation, which runs Main Gate Square. “This is an awesome event because it is always nice to see students reunite with their families and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces,” McCollum said. Every Friday that there is a home football game, Main Gate Square hosts Bear Down Friday, a free event at the Tyndall Avenue stage where the community can come and cheer on the UA football team. The Family Weekend Bear Down Friday
will start at 4 p.m. and will feature, as always, the UA cheerleaders, pom line, the Pride of Arizona marching band and UA mascots Wilbur and Wilma. There will also be special appearances from Annamarie Tellez, the director of UA Parent and Family Programs, UA’s Black N’ Blue Hip Hop Crew, four different radio stations and KVOA doing live cut-ins. “With events like these, we hope that the families will be able to meet other students, Wildcat families, faculty and staff members — overall, everyone should feel like they are part of the Wildcat family,” Tellez said in an email. Tellez said she wants to ensure that families have the opportunity to see what life is like both on and off campus. Stores and restaurants also have special hours and deals specifically for Family Weekend. A-City, a Main Gate Square store, gives 10% off to any student or family member that shows their CatCard. “It is one of our most busiest times of the year because so many people come around with their family members,” said Tristan Foster, a sales associate from A-City. Find other sales and hours on the Main Gate Square website.

ARTS & LIFE | FIRST CATS
First-generation students join the Wildcats family BY BRIANNON WILFONG @BriannonWilfong
The first in their family to apply for a major university to pack up their belongings and head to an unknown city will also be the first in their family to graduate from the University of Arizona. A first-generation college student is typically defined as the first one in the family to attend college. “First-generation college students are really resilient and have the capacity to be some of our strongest scholars and representatives of our institution,” said Victoria Navarro Benavides, the program manager for First Cats Initiatives. “It’s time for us to start believing that they’re worth our time and our energy and directing resources to supporting that.” According to Benavides, First Cats is a campus organization designed to help first-generation students get access to financial aid, graduate school and build a community for other students who are often underrepresented. “The reason we developed [First Cats] is because the university has had years of support for trio-type grants, which are targeting first-generation, low-income and students with disabilities,” Benavides said. “As those grants have fluctuated throughout the years, we wanted to provide a more stable, institution-based system.” First Cats provides programs throughout the semester for incoming first-generation freshmen and their families, such as First Cat Mixer, First Cat Family Welcome and First Cat Wednesdays. They also host a professional development series that aims to help students build their professional skills for the workplace. In addition, the program offers a mentor system where upperclassmen students assist First Cats freshmen with navigating classes, applying for financial aid and jobs in the future. Mentors can also help First Cats seniors look for grad school opportunities. Juan Fernando Figueroa, a UA senior criminal justice major, started his college journey as a First Cats mentee. He learned about First Cats through the Arizona Assurance Program, a financial aid program for low-income
students in Arizona. “I had someone that I could come to for support, someone that has already gone through that first or second year, and guide me through those difficult times like that first exam feeling or preparation,” he said. First Cats not only provides a support system for the students, but also for the parents who may often feel the stress when their child is attending college. Figueroa’s parents previously spoke on a panel for First Cats to help other new families, both parents and students, to transition into college life. “Some of the things we spoke about on the First Cats panel were related to the conversations we had with our student on how we could support [Figueroa] as he started this journey and how we felt seeing our student leave to college,” said Marcela Figueroa, Juan’s mother. “It was important for us to be in that panel because we had the opportunity to share our story and experiences with other parent who are beginning this journey.” Marcela Figueroa shared the difficulties she encountered when enrolling her son in college. “Some of the challenges we faced sending our student off to college was facing the fact that we would not see him throughout the entire day,” she said. “It was very difficult to find a balance between the time we had to spend with him.” However, Marcela Figueroa said that she and her husband couldn’t be more proud of their son. “Our reaction to hearing that our son had been accepted to the University of Arizona was one filled with great excitement, joy and pride,” Marcela Figueroa said. “Seeing our only son and child take the first step towards a new path in his life was a feeling like no other. It made us feel very happy.” Juan Figueroa is also proud to attend university and explained his reason. “There’s a lot of pride within calling yourself a first-gen student,” Juan Figueroa said. “I’m an only child, so for my parents, I’ll be the only child they’ll see graduate from a four-year institution. I’m obviously doing it for them. Give them back a little bit of what they’ve given me and also serve

NEWS | CCP PREVIEW
Center for Creative Photography honors journalist BY JAKE TOOLE @JakeToole4
The Center for Creative Photography will be organizing three free exhibitions to recognize the decades of photography renowned journalist David Hume Kennerly has produced over his career. Kennerly has worked in photojournalism for over 50 years. He won the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Photography at age 25 and then became the chief White House photographer under President Gerald Ford in 1974. According to the center’s website, Kennerly was appointed as the first University of Arizona Presidential Scholar, which is an honorary appointment based at the CCP that “exemplifies the university’s commitment to advancing the meaning and understanding of interdisciplinary work in the arts, humanities and social sciences.” There will be towers of Kennerly’s photos on the UA Mall and an exhibition of some of Kennerly’s most well-known photos at Old Main. Additonally, Kennerly and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Jon Meacham will hold a discussion about the effect of photography in people’s lives, according to Gina Compitello, the senior marketing and public relations officer for the center.
Compitello said that the photo towers at the UA Mall will be organized by themes of Kennerly’s work, such as presidential campaigns he’s covered. According to Compitello, the photo towers will be up from Friday, Oct. 11 to Monday, Oct. 14. and will sometimes be moved around due to various Family Weekend events, such as tailgates, but will mainly stay by Old Main. “I think it is going to be really incredible for people to be able to walk amongst his photos and kind of understand the work a photographer can do,” Compitello said. According to Compitello, the Old Main exhibition will be open staring Friday, Oct. 11 and will be ongoing. It will have some of Kennerly’s most well-known photos on display in Old Main’s halls. “Old Main is just a great overview of Kennerly’s work, and you can walk through and learn about each photo and see these moments that he was there for,” Compitello said. Compitello said that the event with Kennerly and Meacham at Centennial Hall will be one night only on Friday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. She said that the event is free, but tickets still need to be picked up to go to the event. “The two of them are having this conversation on stage about what photography means to our lives,”
MADELEINE VICECONTE | THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE CENTER FOR CREATIVE Photography will host three events over Family Weekend 2019. These events will honor Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist David Hume Kennerly.
Compitello said. “So exploring the impact of photography on our world and how it helps us understand things, because many people — I mean, for many of us now — the way we understand what’s happening in the world is we see photos of it.” Compitello said the center chose Family Weekend to open the exhibition so that
Kennerly’s work could be shown to a maximum number of people. “Really, it’s that we want as many students and their families to have access to it as possible,” Compitello said. “And so scheduling it over something like Family Weekend means that more people can come and especially since all of it is free.”

NEWS | SHABBAT SERVICES
MICHELLE TOMASZKOWICZ | THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE HILLEL BUILDING FRONT entrance, located on Second Street and Mountain Avenue. The Hillel Foundation on campus held an LGBT Shabbat for community members to celebrate their faith in conjunction with their sexuality.
Hillel Center provides community during Family Weekend and beyond BY TOMMIE LORENE @DailyWildcat
Family Weekend is a special time when parents and family members celebrate Shabbat on campus with students at the Hillel Foundation. Shabbat starts at 6 p.m., on Friday, Oct. 11 at the Hillel Center, located at 1245 E. Second St. Shabbat is a Jewish ceremony commemorating the seventh day of creation when God rested. It begins sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday each week. Abbii Cook, assistant director at Hillel, said that the Hillel Center and Shabbat are open to all students, Jewish and non-Jewish alike. The center has participated in the Family Weekend Shabbat since its inception. Cook explained that there are three different services to choose from at Shabbat: reform, alternative and conservative. Reform is the least observant service with many songs and a more “campy” feel, according to Cook. The alternative service is more of a discussion led by students, while the conservative service is more for “middle of the road” people. After service, all participants can meet downstairs for
dinner. There is a short prayer over the wine, Kiddush, followed by ritual hand washing. It is customary not to talk after the hand washing until the blessing of the bread, HaMotzi, and eating of the bread, Challah, is complete. Dinner and dessert are filled with conversation and getting to know one another. Berkley Selvin, a junior majoring in political science, was an intern in her freshmen year and is now a lead engagement intern at Hillel. “Being a freshman is intimidating and scary,” Selvin said. “Hillel is very friendly and becomes a home away from home for many students.” And that speaks to the welcoming environment for all students, Selvin said. “We also have friends, roommates, whether religious or not, come to programming and Shabbat, and it’s so awesome to see that,” Selvin said. Cook explained that Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year celebration, ended on Oct. 1. There is a significant 10-day period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which ends on Oct. 9. This time is meant to be reflective and introspective. “Thinking about things that you did last year and how you can improve this year,” Cook said of the time between
the holidays. “Also, spending time going to people that you may have hurt last year and asking for forgiveness.” A Jewish community is vital to some students when choosing a university. “I specifically looked for a school that had a Jewish presence on campus, especially a Hillel,” said Jenny Sternheim, a senior in ecology and evolutionary biology. She said she enjoyed how welcoming everyone was at Hillel and became an intern after her first semester. “Parents like that their children have a way to carry on their culture without being home,” Sternheim said. The Hillel Center is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. for all students, no matter their religion. Student leaders are available throughout the day to chat and answer questions about programming. Cook explained that there is an extensive amount of programming, from Israel studies to social events like kickball. “We are always looking for students to come and enjoy the programming and get involved,” Cook said.

SPORTS | WILDCAT PRIDE
Soaring high with UA’s cheer ’Cats Get to know the team behind the loud cheers BY AMIT SYAL @ASyal21
Red face paint, loud cheers and unique stunts that put you on the edge of your seats at sporting events. Sound oddly familiar? University of Arizona cheerleading is and always has been an integral part of Arizona Athletics and our local Tucson community. Despite the fact that UA’s cheerleaders spend the majority of a sporting game on the sidelines, it is no doubt that they can be credited with helping Arizona’s sporting teams have so much success. The cheerleaders can be found bleeding Wildcat pride at numerous different athletic events on campus. “Our team is co-ed and non-competitive. We cheer sidelines for football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, gymnastics and soccer,” said Alex Zamora, a four-year cheerleader and current senior. “We also do a ton of appearances and volunteer work throughout the community.” As much of a commitment as it sounds, being a member of Arizona cheerleading comes with different responsibilities aside from being at sporting events. Off the field or court, UA’s cheer team can be seen giving back to the Tucson community. “Just recently, we had Cheer Fest, which had kids from all different programs come out and learn a routine and perform it at halftime for one of the football games,” said Carter Marks, first-year cheerleader and current junior. “It was awesome seeing the kids have fun and rewarding to see that they look up to us.” Even though being a member of Arizona cheerleading means being within breathing distance from the action, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes into being a cheerleader at the UA. “We practice Monday, Tuesday [and] Thursday from 6-8 a.m. We also have team workouts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday,” said Kristina Zamora, cocaptain and a four-year cheerleader. “We have at least one game a week, but during some months, we have up to four to five games a week. We start cheer late July and go all the way through March.” Between attending games, weekly meetings and team lifts, UA’s cheerleaders spend a lot of dedicated time with the program. “Even though I’m fairly new to the team, I wish people knew how much of our time goes into what we do and how hard everyone works,” Marks said. “I never realized it before, but now it’s cool to get a different perspective on the program.” Although Arizona cheerleading does not offer any academic scholarships, being a member of the program comes with an abundance of other benefits. “Team members have the opportunity to travel for away and post season football games, select pre-season and post-season Men’s and Women’s basketball, and volleyball final four. Members of the University of Arizona Cheerleading and Mascot program receive uniforms, Nike attire, and equipment at no charge,” according to Arizona Athletics. “The Cheerleaders & Mascots have full use of Arizona

Athletics facilities, including the student-athlete strength & conditioning facility, the athletics department academic center computer lab, Bear Down Kitchen, and the Kasser Medical Treatment Center.” If you are interested in trying out for Arizona cheerleading, Alex Zamora encourages it. “Go for it! Cheerleading has changed my life for the better. I didn’t originally plan on trying out for Arizona cheer, but I’m so glad I did. It was one of the best decisions of my life,” Zamora said. “Our male bases don’t have to have any prior experience in cheerleading. A lot of our boys played sports like football, baseball and soccer in high school and they wanted to continue to be a part of an athletic team.” After being part of the program for a while, the cheerleaders create bonding memories, according to Kristina Zamora. “My favorite part of being on cheer has been being so involved with the athletic teams. It’s an unforgettable experience being so close to the action, especially at football and basketball,” Kristina Zamora said. “Having a close team and being so involved on campus has really made my college experience incredible. My least favorite part of cheer is probably the early mornings. Those never get easier.” The UA cheerleading team will continue to bleed red and blue and bear down on and off the field, no matter the circumstance.

OPINIONS | STATE FUNDING
State funding would help more students afford college BY NATHAN GOSNELL @DailyWildcat
T
uitions increasing, student debt rising and universities becoming less and less accessible is a common sight nowadays. One of the most often cited reasons for increasing prices is the decreasing amount of funding coming from governments. For state schools, the limited pool of resources provided by the state causes universities to seek funding through alternate means, the primary one being tuition. College is more expensive than ever, but is government funding really the main reason to blame? Tuition at the University of Arizona, a state school, has increased $4,217 for residents since 2011 from around $8,250 to $12,367, according to UA Statistics. This narrative of reliance on state funding can distract from the spending habits
of universities and the real amount of resources they actually hold while shifting blame towards state governments and guilt away from schools. One explanation is that the demand for college has steadily increased over the years causing prices to rise. Around 19.9 million students have been estimated to enroll in fall 2019, compared to 15.3 million in 2000, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. The sheer number of students in undergraduate enrollment has increased by almost 5,000 according to UA enrollment data. Combined with students’ usage of loans, especially federal aid, universities may be led to increase costs if they know that there is a support net that will pay the fees, similar to healthcare. Although this doesn’t mean aid should stop, it instead calls for more action regarding costs and ending profiting from debt by universities. Another issue regarding student enrollment increasing is the hiring of faculty. According to U.S. News, the
UA has a 15:1 student-to-faculty ratio, maintaining a low number of students per faculty member. This means that increasing funds must be put toward the hiring and payment of faculty. It isn’t always so clear cut though, with the growing experience of precarity in academics as adjunct lecturers are hired in favor of tenure track positions. While many of these factors do hold significant sway in university costs, there are also still large amounts of funding funneled into athletics, non-academic resources and the salaries of those at the top of the university. Analysis and discussion of university spending policies and where it’s headed is required in examining the costs of higher education. While state funding is still essential to explaining risings costs, the question of what the university would do with that funding if presented with it is also integral to the story of university costs. Pushing for more state funding is important when considering affordable college, but it isn’t the entire picture.
Since tuitions are increasingly becoming the primary means for schools to gain funding, this double-edged sword has led to a necessity for attracting more enrollments and employing tactics to obtain funding from students. International students are increasingly scouted and universities are displayed as hubs of social life, selling an experience rather than academics to attract nonresident students and maintain gaps in funding, often hurting those faced with the necessity of attending university to better enter the economy. Examining why university funding is changing and how schools are attempting to close the gaps, often through high tuitions and attracting those who will pay them, is essential to discussing the fundamental place a university holds in society.

ARTS & LIFE | AROUND THE CORNER
Revisit Tucson’s history at Old Town Artisans Located in the historic downtown district, this plaza cosists of several shops, an eatery and a market. From buying vinyl to looking at trinkets or local art, Old Town Artisans offers a variety of attractions for all visitors BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11
In old adobe, beneath saguaro rib ceilings covered in twinkling lights and lush plants, Old Town Artisans’ aesthetic ambiance makes this historic building a go-to spot for both Tucsonans and tourists looking to shop until they drop. Made up of seven shops, a restaurant, a pub and a market, all housed in a Spanishstyle courtyard, Old Town Artisans offers a unique and varied experience for all its customers. “It’s the home of the oldest most continually occupied buildings in the state of Arizona, so just being able to keep that history alive and keep commerce going in this area is an honor for all of us,” said Jo Schneider, the owner of La Cocina Restaurant and Cantina. “It makes it special because this is really where history started.” Old Town Artisans is located at 201 N. Court Ave. in one of the oldest buildings in Tucson, dating back to 1775. According to their website, Old Town Artisans is resting on the site of El Presidio San Augustín del Tucsón, a fort built by the Spanish. The current block that Old Town Artisans has staked claim to happened to be where the stables area once was. “It’s one of the most historic places that’s left in this city,” said Mark Benko, the manager of Art House Centro. “We are on the grounds of the original presidio. The restaurant on the courtyard, La Cocina, is actually where the stables used to be at the presidio.” In addition to its rich history, the stores that
make up Old Town Artisans offer shoppers a wide variety of options. One of the shops, Art House Centro, has been open for six years. Their mission is to provide affordable art to the Tucson community, making it perfect for UA students on a budget. “[When we] opened the shop, our theme was affordable art for you, your home and garden,” Benko said. “We have a lot of nice things that are affordable for dorm rooms.” For curators of vintage finds and one-of-akind treasures, Gypsy Emporium is the place to go. Debbie Forrest, the co-owner of the shop, travels as far as the east coast to find quirky curios, including monkey skulls and woman-shaped chairs. “This is Old Town Artisans,” Forrest said. “We fit in perfectly with our old stuff.” Nine years ago, inspired by the beauty of Old Town Artisans, Schneider opened the outdoor restaurant La Cocina. La Cocina has live music every night and allows its diners to have dinner beneath twinkling lights — apparently making it a great place for a first date. “We’re a popular place to go for a date,” Schneider said. “It’s all lit up with twinkle lights and it’s pretty romantic, so we seem to get a lot of first dates.” Old Town Artisans also includes a record shop, a tattoo parlor, a vintage clothing shop and a Native American arts store. “It’s just a great place to work,” Benko said. “We have a great bunch of people who work here. All the shopkeepers are really friendly and we all get along. It has a really nice vibe and it’s a lot of fun here.” While they do see some University of

ART HOUSE CENTRO, AN art shop at Old Town Artisans, offers both art and locally made snacks and beverages.
Arizona students come by, Schneider said that Old Town Artisans has a bigger tourist population. Nonetheless, the shop owners encourage students and community members to stop by and see a piece of Tucson history. “There are a lot more tourists than Tucson people,” Forrest said. “There [have] been people who have lived here for over 20 years and they never knew this place existed, so it would be for good for Tucson people to come see this historic place.” Benko, Forrest and Schneider said they believe that Old Town Artisans’ history is what makes it stand out from all of the other

Tucson becomes stage for international burlesque BY MIKAYLA KABER @KaberMikayla
The sixth annual Arizona Burlesque Festival is strutting over to Fourth Avenue with two days of competition, variety acts and workshops featuring performers from all over the southwest. Matt Finish, producer of the festival and University of Arizona alumnus, is hosting the event at The Hut on Oct. 11-12. Finish has professional dance training and a master’s degree in dance at the UA. He performs all over the world for different shows and festivals. “It can get very insular in a small community, everyone performs the same way and Tucson was very much rhinestones and fishnets, very controlled, very classic,” Finish said. “As I personally started doing festivals around the country, I
realized that burlesque really took on a lot of different forms and I wanted to introduce that here as well.” According to Finish, there will be many performers traveling to Tucson from all over the world. They will be visiting from places like Russia, New Zealand and Canada. This year’s featured performers include the previous “Best Burlesque” winner Zyra Lee Vanity and headliner Kitty Von Quim. Quim has been involved in the burlesque world for about a decade and had performed in the Arizona festival before. Quim caught Finish’s attention with her famed Lady Pacman act at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in 2018 and was asked to headline the Arizona Burlesque Festival. “He wanted to bring me to Arizona because of how I
incorporate camp and drag influences into my burlesque,” Quim said. “The idea of bringing in this kind of over-the-top kind of humor and drama and that kind of energy [to the festival], which is definitely my particular style of burlesque.” The festival not only includes variety show acts, but there are also workshops the featured performers and judges teach during the day, offering a closer look at the burlesque scene and community. The head judge of the competition is local burlesque legend and a Burlesque Hall of Fame board member, Desiré d’Amour. For around 20 years, d’Amour has been in the burlesque scene. She has been involved as a performer and a judge with the Arizona Burlesque Festival for all

six years. When discussing her judging methods, d’Amour went into how she teaches beginner burlesque students and what she thinks is key to a good performance. “What I think is successful is when every woman in the crowd, you know, wants to be like you, wants to be you, and thinks that they can because you make it look so easy,” d’Amour said. “And every man in the crowd feels like he wants to be your girlfriend.” An Eller College of Management alumna, d’Amour is a seasoned performer by night, and a CFO and accountant by day. According to d’Amour, there are only about 10 people she knows that work in burlesque for a living, and most of them don’t make their money off performing alone. “Very few people can make a living out of it because, you know, it’s still a very underground scene,” d’Amour said. “It’s kind of like being a band, you know. Very few people make it to the top.”
Purina Meowmix, the head stagekitten (stagehand) for the festival, has studied under Finish for dance at Pima Community College but is now studying to be a teacher at the UA. They spoke heavily about how difficult it can be to obtain a professional persona while participating in burlesque. “With burlesque, I had to take a step back because I want to work with kids in the future,” Meowmix said. “A lot of people have lost their jobs because they came forward and said they wanted to do burlesque.” According to her, it has been a really great experience to work as a stagehand for the festival because she can get to know the performers. “The wonderful thing about burlesque [is] it’s not about looking a certain way, it’s not about being able to do the best tricks or afford the best costumes,” Finish said. “It’s about going up there and putting on a good show and taking off your clothes while you do it.” For more information, please visit arizonaburlesquefestival.com

INVESTIGATIVE | CLAS CLOSURE
Dude, where’s my major?
BY PRIYA JANDU @Priya_J11
When Adora Harvey, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona senator of the Colleges of Letters, Arts & Sciences, announced her college had been disbanded at a senate meeting Wednesday, Sept. 11, her fellow senators were surprised. The CLAS website is still fully functional and Harvey was elected to her position last March when the college was already disbanded, so many students didn’t know. Harvey said she hasn’t heard a lot of feedback from students in her college. “The communication that they’ve received is that nothing is going to change,” Harvey said. “From the student perspective, it really won’t. CLAS has been a student population that has been disserviced for a long time.” She said there are some CLAS students who voiced concerns about graduating with their peers. “There are some global studies and general studies students who feel like they want to graduate with their CLAS,” Harvey said. Because the college worked with them for four years to see them graduate, they don’t want to graduate within another college with people they don’t know, along with advisers who didn’t help them pick their classes for all those years. Taylor Lepird, a senior studying global studies, is one of those students concerned about graduation. “Since I am a senior, the biggest thing that is affecting me is convocation,” Lepird said. She said CLAS students have been told that CLAS is going to hold a convocation for December graduates, but that would be the final one. Global studies is moving into the College of Social and Behavioral Science, so she will attend their convocation ceremony in May. “I would just feel like I don’t belong there because I would have only been in that college for a semester,” Lepird said. Lepird thought the disbanding affects CLAS students’ sense of place on campus. “Disbanding a college is a major decision and it was done in what felt like a nonchalant way during the fourth week of classes,” Lepird said. Gail Burd, Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, confirmed the disbanding was official as of Feb. 8. “There really wasn’t anything there,”
Burd said. “There were opportunities, but the colleges weren’t saving money. It wasn’t efficient. They weren’t really doing a lot of cross-college programs.” The colleges were very strong by themselves and had “strong donor bases and a big-brand identity,” she said. Burd said CLAS was created in 2009 in the wake of university budget cuts due to the recession. CLAS was a merger of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Science. CLAS’ funding from 2015 to 2018 is demonstrably lower than that of other colleges. For 2015 and 2016, CLAS’ permanent allocated funding from the state was $169,649 and it decreased by 10.73% in 2017 to $151,439. In contrast, the College of Humanities received $23,240,448 in 2016 and increased by $2,302,469 in 2017, a 9.9% increase. The College of Fine Arts received $16,671,381 in 2017 and the College of Social and Behavioral Science received $56,366,399 in 2017. The College of Science received $84,059,024 in 2017.
Joaquin Ruiz, the Executive Dean for CLAS and the College of Science Dean, said when CLAS was first formed, the vision was to create new interdisciplinary degrees. He said the School of Information, aka iSCHOOL, and international studies, would have fit well in the CLAS when it was first created. “It would have been great to have a few key international programs reside in the CLAS,” Ruiz said. Ruiz said another key issue within CLAS was the inability to hire faculty. “There were all kinds of reasons we couldn’t put faculty in, and that was the cause of death, in my opinion,” Ruiz said. “We never had permission to hire faculty in this college.” Burd said exploratory undecided majors will be housed in the Advising Resource Center. General studies will be moved to the College of Humanities and
GRAPHIC BY AMBER SOLAND
global studies will be moved to the College of Social and Behavioral Science. Harvey said the change could have both positive and negative impacts on undecided students. “With what they have now, undecided students will actually get more advisory attention because there will be a lower student to adviser ratio,” Harvey said. Undecided students won’t be in a college anymore, and “I think that’ll be the biggest negative impact,” Harvey said. “They kind of feel like outsiders already because they don’t have a major,” Harvey said. “They won’t have any representation because they don’t have a college.”

OPINION | COLLEGE ATHLETES PAY
MADELEINE VICECONTE | THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE NEW COLE AND Jeanine Davis indoor Sports Center was unveiled on Sunday, Feb. 24. The California SB206 raises the stakes of the debate surrounding paying college athletes.
Paying college athletes: good or bad for the future of college sports? BY AUSTIN WALES @DailyWildcat
L
ast week on Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom passed State Bill 206 (SB206), named Fair Pay to Play Act, which enables college athletes in California to profit off their name and likeness. This is historic — this is the first bill to do something of this nature — but it still has a ways to go, as the NCAA has said they strongly oppose it and have threatened to ban California schools from postseason competition. SB206 was signed by Gov. Newsom on an episode of The Shop with LeBron James, who is a huge advocate of this act. The act will not be able to go into effect until 2023, but once it does, athletes from all levels of NCAA play will be able to register their name to profit from it. There are some restrictions on this: schools that are Nike schools will not be able to allow their players to sign endorsement contracts with a company such as Adidas. There has been great debate upon the topic of college players getting paid for schools using their names, and to be perfectly honest, I don’t believe the passing of this bill is a great idea. “Going to college where I wanted to go, I
didn’t have the mindset of ‘I wanted to get paid for people buying my jersey,’” said Tim Tebow, ESPN and SEC Football commentator. “But now, with this bill, we’re going from us . . . being an alumni . . . to a perspective of ‘what can I get out of this?’” I completely agree with Tebow here because when we truly are able to look at the bigger picture here, we’re trying to take away from what makes college football and college sports — the love and passion of it all — and replace that with the love for money. Now, many might make the case that Tebow must have come from a very privileged family and has no way to relate to the people that belong to the minority, who come from little to nothing at all; however, that’s not actually the case. Tebow grew up as a missionary kid in the Philippines, and as a missionary family, money didn’t come easily. In his recent book, “This is the Day,” Tebow talks about how his father would give almost all of the money they had away to other families in the Philippines. I love college football and college sports, but with the passing of this bill, I believe we’re changing the whole nature of college football and college sports. There’s a reason that college stadiums are typically bigger than NFL stadiums and that is because people’s passion and love for their schools is greater than the love for money. Now, are there things that I think the NCAA should do about helping possibly those who come from minority backgrounds and
impoverished backgrounds? Absolutely. But I believe that when we look at the ability for these higher, more elite players to profit off of schools using their names on jerseys and other memorabilia, I believe we begin to see a shift away from the true reason players go to college: to play for a school they love and play the game they love. The passing of this bill also brings up another question: Will we start to see other states or conferences bring up this same sort of bill? In the Power 5 conferences, which are the Pac12, Southern Eastern Conference, Big 12, Big 10 and the Atlantic Coast Conference, we see college football’s biggest players, such as Trevor Lawrence from Clemson University, Tua Tagovailoa from University of Alabama and Jalen Hurts from University of Oklahoma, to name a few. Now there is a possibility: If other conferences and states pass similar bills and the NCAA holds to what they’ve threatened California to, which is a post-season ban, and apply it to other conferences and states, the whole dynamic of college football and college sports is changed. This will also likely lead to a dramatic decline in the number of viewers in postseason games, such as the National Championship, because the biggest teams in the nation will not be in the game. According to ESPN, last year’s National Championship for college football between Clemson University and the University of Alabama had 25.3 million viewers. This shows
that the love for the school and especially college football is greater than money and that college football is perfectly fine without players being paid. I think that one of the biggest things that most people who argue that players should be able to be paid for their names to be sold are missing is that college athletes and college football players are already being given money if they’re scholarship athletes. Most scholarship athletes are given money monthly for rent, food and travel stipends as well. So to me, athletes are already being paid for going to their schools, and to be paid more than what they’re already getting doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. The topic and debate of whether college athletes — especially college football players — should be paid for their play is going to continue, and no matter what each side says about whether it should or shouldn’t be a thing, it still comes down to one thing: money. That is not what college football is about. College football is about passion and the love of your school, and the passing of this bill is taking away from that.

NEWS | DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
Beto talks gun reform, immigration
BY PRIYA JANDU @Priya_J11
Beto O’Rourke was the first Democratic presidential candidate of this election cycle to speak to students and locals during a town hall Sunday, Oct. 6. O’Rourke spoke to a full rooftop at Gentle Ben’s Brewing Company. “This is a moment of truth,” O’Rourke said. “It will define us forever and decide anything and everything that you care about in this country, forever going forward. No pressure, Tucson. The responsibility is ours at the moment.” Addison Lavis, a criminal justice and Spanish major at the University of Arizona, attended the town hall. “I thought it would be a neat opportunity to hear from a presidential candidate, on his own terms and not on a debate stage,” Lavis said in an email. Immigration was another big focus of the town hall. O’Rourke spoke about the Trump administration’s sentiments toward immigrants. “Not only did he put their children in cages and deport their mothers back to the country
from which they fled, not only has he lost the lives of seven children to date in our custody and in our care, but he described them as an invasion, as an infestation, as predators, as animals,” O’Rourke said of Trump. O’Rourke, who is from Texas, said the El Paso shooter was enabled by anti-immigrant rhetoric Trump said at a rally in Florida earlier this year. O’Rourke said similarities in the shooter’s manifesto were similar to Trump’s language. To address gun violence, O’Rourke had multiple ideas, including universal background checks. “End the sale of weapons of war,” he said. “We’re going to buy back every single AR15 and AK-47. No longer will they be in our schools, in our churches, in our synagogues, in our lives. Keep them on the battlefield. Keep that shit out of our lives.” O’Rourke mentioned the treatment of people of color in this country, noting that hate crimes have increased under the Trump administration. He drew connections between Tucson and El Paso regarding immigration. “You and I, Tuscon and El Paso, will rewrite immigration laws in our own image,” O’Rourke said. “No more walls, no more cages, no more

internal deportation.” Patrick Robles, a freshman studying public management and policy at the UA, asked what an O’Rourke administration would do for public education, given Arizona’s RedforEd strikes last year. O’Rourke said he will increase funding for special education teachers and address segregation in public schools. “I’m going to make sure that we clear student loan debt for every teacher and educator in this country,” he said. Carlos Martinez, president of the Young Democrats at the University of Arizona, introduced O’Rourke. “It meant a lot to me that they reached out to us, making sure young people are an integral part of this movement and making Arizona blue in 2020,” Martinez said while introducing O’Rourke. Alison Jones, chair of the Pima County Democrats, also introduced O’Rourke. She mentioned Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Martha McSally hosted a private event last Thursday and called it a town hall. “This is how you hold a town hall,” Jones said. “We are a battleground state. The road to the White House goes right through here.”

BETO O’ROURKE IS THE first presidential candidate of the 2020 election to make an appearance in Tucson. He spoke to crowds at Gentle Ben’s Brewing Company on Oct. 6.
O’Rourke’s concluding message was unity in a time of division: “The people of Arizona, with 11 electoral college votes, and the people of Texas, with 38 electoral college votes, are going to make the difference and are going to be the states that put Donald Trump away forever, and bring a very divided and very polarized country back together again.”

BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @nessamagnifique
sorority suspicions Good things rarely come in suspicious packages as one student learned after she received two of them from halfway across the world. A University of Arizona Police Department officer met the student who had received a suspicious package at the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority house on Sept. 23. The student told the officer that she had first seen the box addressed to her in the house’s mail room. The sorority house manager had brought in the package around noon after picking up the mail from the house’s mailbox on Mountain Avenue. The student picked up the package, a 4 inch by 6 inch yellow padded envelope. When she opened it, there was a small, strange, square item. The item was sealed and contained another strange, round object inside. It was then that she noticed the package was sent from Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, a country in central Asia. The student told the officer that she did not know anyone from Kyrgyzstan or the surrounding region. She also no longer lived in the Alpha Epsilon Phi house,
though she had during the 2017-2018 school year. After she first touched the package and realized where it was from, the student placed it in a large Ziploc bag and washed her hands several times. When speaking with the officer, the student said she felt fine, though she repeatedly checked her hands for signs of burns or other injuries. No one else in the sorority house felt physically sick after the package arrived, though many of them wanted it gone, according to the student. The officer took photos of the package as evidence and took it away to be properly destroyed. The next day, Sept. 24, the student called UAPD to report that she had received a second package, according to her sorority sisters. She had not been to the house yet to see it and this package had not been opened. She gave her house mother permission to release the package into the care of the officer to also be destroyed. The officer advised the house mother, who handles the mail, to call UAPD if any more suspicious packages are found.
lost in the sauce Two young people drinking in the parking lot and making out is not a rare find. An officer can probably discover a couple without looking too hard. What is rarer is solving a missing persons case in the process. A UAPD officer was patrolling Tyndall Avenue Garage when he saw a seemingly empty red car taking up two parking spots on Sept. 27 at around 2:50 a.m. The officer went over to check it out when a man opened the driver’s side door, releasing a smell of

alcohol from the car. The man, a UA student, had bloodshot eyes. The person in the passenger’s seat did not exhibit any signs of alcohol consumption. The officer reported he could see a bottle of Smirnoff vodka on the driver’s side floor that was clearly missing some of its former contents. There were also two bottles of orange juice in the cup holders, though only one looked like it had been partially consumed. The officer asked to speak with the man. The man exited the car for their conversation and said, without any provocation, “I’m not going to lie, we parked here, I had a couple of drinks and we were making out,” according to the officer. He also said that he had not been planning to drive anywhere. After their initial conversation, the officer performed a records check on the man and found that he had been reported missing to the Tucson Police Department. The officer called the number associated with the missing persons report and told the reporting party that the man was okay. The reporting party thanked the officer for the information. The man and the officer continued their conversation. The man said he and the woman had met online and become friends. They decided to come to the garage to hang out. He had brought a bottle of vodka and drank some while parked before the officer arrived. The woman confirmed much of the man’s story. The officer cited and released the man for consuming liquor in public.
