Weekend fun for the whole family BY NATE AIRULLA @nateairulla
From a live 80’s cover band to a BBQ bash with UA President Ann Weaver Hart, Family Weekend has it all. Parents and siblings are traveling from around the country to visit their students, and the UA has planned a long list of events to keep everyone busy and entertained.
Friday BBQ Bash
At 8:00 p.m. on the lawn in front of the Arizona State Museum, President Hart will kick off the Bear Down BBQ Bash with a speech. The UA Family Weekend website said this is the “can’t miss” event of the weekend. “Hart will be there to welcome families to the university,” said Kathy Adams Riester, associate dean of students and director of the Parents and Family Association. “She will also talk about the rich history behind Family Weekend.” Riester said several members of the Parents and Family Association Board will also speak. The event will include free food, prize giveaways and, more importantly, a chance for parents to meet the university administration and faculty. Wilbur and Wilma and the UA marching band will also be attending.
Ice Cream Social
The Scoop is hosting a Ice Cream Social at the Student Union Memorial Center on Friday at 4:00 p.m., according to Courtney Olds, a computer science junior and ASUA Family Weekend executive director. Members of the Parents and

UA Presidential Search Advisory Committee meets BY NICK MEYERS @nickmeyers214
The UA Presidential Search Advisory Committee met for the first time on Thursday, Oct. 13 to begin the process of identifying the UA’s next president. Current UA President, Ann Weaver Hart, announced her decision to not extend her contract via an employee-wide email and an Arizona Board of Regents press release on June 10. Hart will return as a faculty member in the College of Education after a year-long sabbatical beginning immediately following her official departure from the Office of the President. Regardless of if a replacement is found before her contract terminates in July 2018, Hart will receive her usual salary of $475,000 until her contract runs out.
The committee will begin by identifying 2030 potential candidates within the next 2-3 months and then carve that list down to eight or 10 before meeting with potential candidates with a final selection of 2-4 from which a candidate will be selected by the board. The committee said they will search for leadership, experience and communication qualities in the presidential candidates. Much of the conversation revolved around the necessity for a confidential search. Committee co-chairs, regents Bill Ridenour and Ron Shoopman, opened up the discussion with the crucial note of confidentiality. Potential candidates who are publicly identified prior to official notification may turn away from the position, putting the search at risk, according to
the committee. “The need for us to maintain confidentiality of the prospects as we work cannot be overstated, because it puts at risk the search itself,” Shoopman said. “If the people that we are going to be talking to feel that their interest in the university could be compromised, that list will dwindle substantially and immediately.” The regents hired R. William Funk & Associates, an executive search firm founded by its president, William Funk, to assist with the presidential search. The firm has helped recruit presidents at about 50 higher-education institutions around the country, including twothirds of public and half of all institutions in the Association of American Universities, of which UA has been a member since 1985. There are nearly 50

A Wildcat family migration: Giving those traveling far and wide a taste of the UA, Tucson BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120
Family Weekend is here and the UA is welcoming students’ families from all over the country with a weekend full of interactive activities and events. “It’s the little things here and They want to be there that give the involved as much families coming as possible while out of state a feel for what Tucson they’re here with me, is like,” said because they don’t Courtney Olds, a get to see me that computer science junior and ASUA often.” Family Weekend executive director. —Michelle Olds said Mendoza, a preshe created the business sophomore schedule of events with her team and in collaboration with the UA Parent & Family Programs.

Other departments, clubs and organizations around campus will be having their own Family Weekend events as well. “I think Family Weekend is really important, because it gives families an opportunity to come to campus,” Olds said. Mckenna Schultz, a sophomore studying biochemistry and math, said she is excited to see her family because she is very close with them. Schultz and her family are from Yucaipa, California.

POLICE BEAT of the past BY DAILY WILDCAT STAFF @DailyWildcat
Home field disadvantage | Oct. 3, 2007 A man was arrested and booked into Pima County Jail for multiple violations at Arizona Stadium, 540 N. Vine Ave., at 1:50 a.m. Saturday. Police were dispatched to the stadium on a call that there was a possible fight brewing between a man on the field and a security guard. Police talked to the man, whose speech was slurred and mumbly. An officer asked the man to sit down on the ground, but the man refused, so the officer guided him to the ground. Before officers questioned the man, he admitted to running up and down the field with some friends but said they did not mean to do any harm. Police asked the man for his driver’s license, and he said that he didn’t have it. When officers asked if he had anything to drink, the man told them that he did not drink anything. He blew into the officer’s face, and the officer immediately detected the odor of intoxicants. The officer asked the man what state his driver’s license came from, and he said that it was from Washington. The man then pulled the license out of his pocket and gave it to the officer. The man said that he had been at a Delta Delta Delta fundraising event and that he had been drinking a little bit of alcohol. He said the he knew the legal drinking age was 21 in Arizona but that he was allowed to have alcohol in his body because he was Jewish and celebrating Shabbat. The man said that his friends jumped a stadium fence and decided to run away from the building. The officer asked the man about a knocked-over Dippin’ Dots cart and a banner that had been torn on the south side of the stands. The man denied being involved with the damage of the items. “It was probably one of those guys,” he said. The officer arrested the man for criminal damage, criminal trespass and for being a minor with spirituous liquor in his body. While searching the man, officers found three pieces of tubing shaped like cups in his pocket. The tubing contained remnants of brown liquid, and the man said that it was beer. During the investigation, three phone calls were made to the man’s phone. The officer noticed three different names appeared on the caller ID. The officer asked the University of Arizona Police Department dispatcher to check the names for possible matching contacts on facebook.com. The dispatcher found two possible matches and added the contacts to the fact sheet for the case.

Family Weekend designed to fiscally ‘break even’ BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan
Students and their respective families will come together this weekend for the 2016 edition of UA Family Weekend. But for the university, hosting the event is a monetary balancing act between the cost of being a good host and creating an event that will pay for itself. Family Weekend Executive Director Courtney Olds, a computer science junior, said Family Weekend operates from a zero base, meaning they don’t start with any money. All their revenue comes from sales, and organizers aim simply to break even each year. If there is a profit, it goes to correcting the previous year’s debt or to next year’s expenses. This year’s event is projected to cost about $25,000, according to Family Weekend logistics director Madeline Melichar, a biosystems engineering sophomore. “We try to get as much out of the budget as we can,” Olds said. “We usually break even, barring weather expenses.” Last year, due to the 100-degree temperatures, Family Weekend accrued a small debt when they spent extra on coolers to ensure people were comfortable and safe. “Hopefully, there are no unseen weather expenses this year,” Olds said.

revenue this year will be the t-shirt sales and the Friday barbecue. Tickets to the barbecue cost $15, which is a $2 profit for Family Weekend. “We want people to really experience what we’re offering,” Melichar said. “But we’re really trying to make it worth the money.” This year, Melichar said there’s a focus on “revamping” the event to keep families coming back and to address last year’s feedback that the events were too focused on younger children with not enough events for older family members. “We’re doing new things this year, so we’re okay with spending more,” Melichar said. The biggest expenses? Catering from the Student Unions, printing t-shirts and creating signage so people know where to go, according to Olds. One new addition is the option for families to purchase a one-exit parking pass for Highland Avenue Parking Garage on Friday. The passes will cost $10, available the day of. “We’re trying to maximize parking passes, because it’s really very convenient for parents,” Melichar said. “People have peace of mind knowing they have parking.” The passes could present another big form of revenue, so next year, Melichar said they hope to expand to other garages as well as offer the passes as part of pre-sale packages. While revenue is important, it’s certainly not the main focus of the weekend. Melichar

Barbecues, brunch, bonding: Colleges, programs welcome UA families BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @hotbread33
Students and their parents can expect to have more than enough to do at UA’s Family Weekend 2016. There are around 1,000 family members who have registered for official UA events this weekend, according to Courtney Olds, a computer science junior and ASUA Family Weekend executive director. “This does not account for families coming to campus and not participating in the Family Weekend events specifically,” Olds pointed out. “Each college usually holds their own events.” Coronado and Arizona-Sonora’s Hall Council and faculty fellows, for instance, are hosting When in Doubt, Brunch it Out. The event will consist of a breakfast tailgate on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. on the PSU lawn, including some face painting and corn hole, according to Cameo Davis, Coronado community director. “I’m super excited to spend time with
my parents this weekend,” said Rachel Rabenstine, a communication freshman in the Honors College, whose parents live in Phoenix. “We definitely plan on tailgating and attending a barbecue.” In addition to Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s Bear Down BBQ Bash, Apache-Santa Cruz will be having a cookout for residents and their parents on Friday at 5 p.m., according to Apache-Santa Cruz community director, Roberto Cruze. Babcock, Pima and Rawls/Eller Lodge community director, Jessica Velazquez, added that the Blue Chip Leadership program will be hosting a BBQ at Pima Hall on Friday, Oct. 14 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Many dorms will not be holding any events due to a potential lack of attendance and to allow parents and students to have quality time, according to Matthew Linton, community director at Pueblo de la Cienega.

expects to compete with some of these universities in the search. Funk also echoed the necessity for confidentiality. “The quickest way to lose a potentially good candidate is for that person to be prematurely revealed as a candidate,” Funk said. “The better the candidate, the more sensitivity there is to being revealed too early in this process. Those individuals will have more to lose.” The committee is composed of 27 education and industry leaders including university officials Greg Byrne, vice president and director of athletics, Marc Miller, dean of the Rogers College of Law, Melinda Burke, president of the UA Alumni Association and Kendal Washington White, assistant vice president and dean of students. The committee also includes the influences of several current and former CEOs, presidents and chairmen like Karl Eller, alumnus, chairman and CEO of the Eller Company, Eileen Klein, president of the regents and Lee Lambert, chancellor of Pima Community College. “This is the most important search you will encounter in the next decade, for Tucson, Southern Arizona or any other state,” Shoopman said. “The

reason you’re all here is because of the qualities that you bring.” The committee agreed that candidates must have an affinity for the UA and be able to articulate the university’s institutional, cultural and regional history and be skilled in business relations in order to develop strategies and structures to increase the university’s resources. “The model of getting state funds is gone,” said Jeff Stevens, CEO of Western Refinery Inc. “You’re not going to be able to count on getting the level of funding you got in the past. When I look at the next leader [I ask], ‘Is this someone that can walk into a CEO’s office and represent the university to the point where they’re almost a fundraiser?’” The discussion also focused on a candidates’ need for familiarity with investment in research as the UA is lauded as a premiere research institution. The committee is not only looking for someone with the leadership and management skills to govern the university, but someone who is skilled in outreach and recruitment, as well as coordinating different groups within and outside the university “We will never settle for a leader that isn’t top-notch for this university,” Shoopman said.

Rabenstine said that her parents are especially looking forward to attending the honors convocation. “I’m just happy that they’re able to come,” Rabenstine said. “Before college, I’d never been away from them, so I think Family Weekend is important for combating homesickness.” As for clubs around campus, many will be inviting parents to see what their students do in their free time when they aren’t studying. With the amount of events that are organized on campus this weekend, students and their families will have no trouble finding events to attend. Rabenstine said her and her parents plan to spend some time away from campus as well. “I’m a freshman and I don’t have a car, so having access to a ride is definitely going to result in some grocery shopping,” Rabenstine said. Family Weekend will not only allow for families to see their students’ progress in their new home but for students to take a well-earned break from their studies to spend time with their families.

Home away from home: Greek Life introduces one family to another BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall
For most students, UA Family Weekend is the chance to give families a glimpse into their everyday college life. But for members of Greek Life, Family Weekend also presents the opportunity to introduce their family from home to their sorority or fraternity family. Almost every single sorority and fraternity hosts events during Family Weekend, from brunches and barbecues to tailgates and a special section at the football game. Despite the weekend’s festivities only lasting two or three days, planning starts up to four months in advance. Dani Haboush, an accounting sophomore and Family Weekend chairman at Sigma Kappa, started planning in June. She said that it’s a lot more work than she thought, and it involves working a lot of numbers and excel spreadsheets. This year, Sigma Kappa’s plans had to change last minute when it was revealed that the football game would be at 12:30 p.m., instead of a night game. Haboush said she originally had an all-day barbecue planned that would be catered and allow people to come and go before the game. After the announcement of the football game’s start time, she had to completely re-plan everything just days before the weekend began and organize a brunch instead. “From the planning side of it, I’m excited for it to be done and over and for everyone to be happy,” Haboush said. “I’m just crossing my fingers. I definitely
learned to be flexible, because things just change like that. You just roll with it.” In addition, Haboush was in charge of working with Arizona Football to secure tickets for every member of Sigma Kappa and their families so that they could sit in a big section together. She also had to arrange times for the open house for families to come in and out. “I think it’s a cool experience for the parents because you kind of see—at least for my parents— where the money is going,” Haboush said. “They see the people that I talk about all the time and then they meet their parents and end up being a lot like them, and then we end up being able to go to the football game and stuff. It just gives you stuff to do with your family.” For some parents, visiting their children at their Greek house is a reminder of their time in college. For Steven Adler, father of political science junior and member of fraternity Zeta Beta Tau, Ben Adler, visiting for Family Weekend is the opportunity to see his own son in the fraternity that he helped establish over 30 years ago. Steven and 10 others worked to make ZBT an official chapter at the UA in 1983. Now, he gets to go back during Family Weekend to visit his son. “My favorite part of not only Family Weekend but anytime I come back to the UA and ZBT, is the great memories I have going to school and learning and the lifelong friends I have from school and the fraternity,” Steven said. “Going to the house, I enjoy sharing that pride.”
Today, Ben gets to continue his father’s legacy. “It means a lot having my dad come back to the UA for Family Weekend, especially because he was in ZBT himself,” Ben said. “It’s a certain sense of pride that not everyone in the fraternity gets to share, unfortunately.” Another feature of Family Weekend that members of Greek life can experience is seeing their parents in a party setting. “We like to show the parents a good time,” Ben said. “That usually involves a tailgate and a catered dinner or something on those lines. It’s kind of surreal seeing the ones we saw as authority figures growing up participating in the tailgate festivities.” On the other hand, families who come for the weekend also have the chance to see the charitable work that their children do as a part of Greek life. Alpha Phi’s Red Dress Gala takes place every Family Weekend at a local hotel, where the sorority’s members wear red dresses in honor of spreading awareness for research and treatment of heart disease. According to Alpha Phi’s website, the casino-style event includes a cocktail reception, gambling, dinner and silent and live auctions. In 2015, the sorority raised $39,000. Sabrina DeSisto, a junior psychology major and member of Alpha Phi, said she likes that their main philanthropy is during Family Weekend because it’s a change to spend quality time with both family and friends and all for a good cause. “It’s so much fun to dress up for the first night of Family

From extensive planning to legacies experiencing a sense of homecoming to families getting to participate in philanthropy, Family Weekend offers students in Greek Life the chance to spend time with both of their families—those from home and those in their home away from home.

Families find tradition in Wildcat pride BY CARYN VIEIRA @cmvbby
Many students will be showing their parents around the UA this weekend, taking them to their favorite places and giving them a glimpse into their home away from home. On the other side of the coin, students may also be peering into the UA’s past as their parents and family who are proud alumni return to their old stomping grounds and share their legacies. “The UA always feels like home to me,” said Nancy Acosta, a proud alumna of the UA who is excited to show her school spirit. The UA is more than just a place to learn—It is a university filled with diversity and school spirt, said UA alumna Jill Prickett. Prickett said she is thankful for the memories she made along with the friendships she developed during her four years as a student here. “I am still friends with a handful of the people that I was friends with in college, presently,” she said. “I also met my husband at the university. He was a football player, so I always attended all of the games.” Prickett said she’s proud to see her daughter Emily, a physiology sophomore, following in her footsteps as the UA continues to expand and grow. Acosta said the athletics at the UA are no joke and the programs have grown even bigger over the years. With basketball, soccer, football and the Zona Zoo, she said the UA never fails to lose its school spirit. “It means everything to me that my daughter followed my legacy,” Acosta said. “I am proud that myself and my daughter are both Wildcats, and I can’t wait to see where the lessons my daughter has learned at the UA end up taking her in the future.” Many alumni of the UA say that their time spent at the university was the best and most rewarding years of their lives. Joey Finkle, a proud alumna of the UA who graduated in 1980, admitted that her time at the UA was the best and that she wouldn’t trade any of her college memories
MOLINA’S MIDWAY RESTAURANT for the world. “I was 14 years old when I first visited the UA while on a road trip with my sister,” Finkle said. “I remember looking out my windshield and saying to her ‘I don’t know about you, but I’m going here.’ ” Finkle said the university curriculum, the beauty of the campus itself, the warm weather and the other diverse and unique aspects of the UA make the university so special. There is truly no better place to go

to school, Finkle said. Finkle completed her undergraduate degree in child development and family relations in 1980 and earned her graduate degree in exercise physiology in 1983. “I am proud to see my daughter follow in my footsteps by attending the UA, and I am proud to be an alum,” Finkle said. Finkle said that the UA infuses ideas of diversity and equality into all of its departments and never fails to teach its students lessons
that they’ll remember forever. Holly Ochieng, a nursing junior, said the UA is an amazing place to go to school and that she’s glad she’s part of the Wildcat family. “My mom and my brothers went to the UA, and I am so happy to be able to follow in their footsteps,” Ochieng said. “Family Weekend is so great because we all get to bond over the university and share more amazing memories together.”

ADVISORY ON FAMILY WEEKEND BY BRIANNA LEWIS @DailyWildcat
For some people, Family Weekend at the UA means reuniting with their college student and spending the weekend catching up on two months worth of news. For others, it might be a chance to reassure themselves their student chose the right university. Kelsey Yonnie, a public health senior, is looking forward to Family Weekend. Her parents and brothers have attended the event every year since she started attending the UA.
“Every year we try something different when they come,” Yonnie said. “It’s just an exciting time to be with them and have the family come together.” Although there is a list of UA-sponsored activities in which to participate, Tucson has a number of unique places to visit and things to do. Yonnie and her family have done a variety of things, from attending the UA football game to venturing over to Apple Annie’s Orchard. Yonnie isn’t the only one who enjoys this weekend, though. Her family loves coming down in honor of the event just as much as she looks forward to it. Luckily for them, the tradition will continue for the

next four years, since her brother is a freshman at the UA this year. As for UA parent James DeRue, he will take something a little different out of this weekend. Of course, DeRue looks forward to catching up with his daughter, Stephanie DeRue, a freshman at the UA—but he has a number of questions he hopes will be answered this weekend. “By the end of this weekend, I hope to understand the meaning of ‘Bear Down,'” DeRue said. As there will be a home game this weekend, UA’s school spirit will be at its peak. Hopefully by the end of the weekend, DeRue will know the importance of UA’s favorite saying. He also mentioned his excitement for the ice cream social UA will put on Friday, Oct. 14, which he will attend with his daughter and wife. His wife, Lin DeRue, said she is also looking forward to reuniting with her daughter. She also expects to gain some reassurance about the UA. “I’m hoping to come away with confirmation that the UA was the right school to choose,” Lin DeRue said.
For most parents, knowing the university their child has chosen to attend offers a safe and reliable environment is key. Lin DeRue said another important factor of Family Weekend is seeing if the university and its professors have a good bond with its student body. Any parent wants their child to be respected and accepted, so knowing UA is actively united with its students is important in order to lessen some parents’ concerns. Hopefully, Ffamily Weekend will exceed the expectations with all of the tight-knit activities planned. As UA students are in the middle of the semester, Family Weekend might be just what they need to ease their minds for a while. Reuniting with your family is always expected to be adventurous and worthwhile. Family Weekend is easy to enjoy and can also ease the minds of concerned parents when it comes to questioning their child’s academic decisions. Plus, they get to experience college life with their child for the weekend, and it doesn't get any better than that.

When your parents and siblings are coming to Tucson for the weekend, how exactly should you get ready to reunite? Do you hide all the beer bottles and lay books out instead? Do you proudly display craft beer bottles and hope your dad will give you a high five? Should you clean out your dorm or just avoid your room the whole weekend? Do you ignore your younger brother or take him to parties? The Daily Wildcat asked around campus to help you decide how to approach and execute the best Family Weekend ever. College is a time for growth and change, and it’s likely that you have already evolved during your first few months. For freshmen or Family Weekend first-timers, many students offered similar advice. “Just stay the same person you currently are,” said Cassandra Rosa, a sophomore theatre, film and television major. “I’m sure you’ve changed a little bit at this point, and your parents want to hear about it.” A lot of parents come for Family Weekend to remember their own college experiences and to see how their children are performing away from home. “It’s important to show them around and show them what I do, why I’m at school,” said Cortlyn Morales, a public health sophomore. Morales has five
visitors arriving on Friday for Family Weekend—her mom and dad, uncle, her dad’s best friend and his wife are all coming. She plans on going out to dinner and lunch with her family and attending the UA vs. USC game on Saturday. “This is the first year we’re all tailgating together, so it will definitely be interesting,” Morales said. “My dad’s friends are giant USC fans, so we’ll see how that goes.” Morales, along with other students, suggested you clean up your living space before your parents come. “I definitely have my room cleaned,” Morales said. “I think my mom would be so mad at me if she saw what my room looked like [before].” Savanna Crumrine, a prenursing freshman, is planning on meals, a movie and the football game with her family this weekend. “Just keep your room clean or your family will be annoying,” Crumrine said. Mike Head, a philosophy sophomore, will have his mom in town this weekend. “Your parents aren’t going to like how disgusting your house is, even if you don’t really notice it,” Head said. “Understand what they’ll like and dislike.” Head said that if you know your parents won’t like alcohol or certain posters around the house, maybe you should take them down. Head will be hanging out, golfing and eating with his

1. Go hiking
BY ALEC KUEHNLE @ThrowMeAnAllie
It seems hard to believe the semester has already hit the halfway point, but, sure enough, Family Weekend has arrived. Over the next few days, swarms of parents will infest the entire UA campus, making many students happy and causing several others to want to pull their hair out. If you have family coming this weekend, awesome. Enjoy the many family-oriented activities the UA has to offer while catching up with mom and pop or whoever comes into town. Unfortunately, many families cannot make it down to Tucson this weekend. If you have no loved ones coming to town, don’t fret—there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the weekend. Southern Arizona offers endless possibilities, but these are only some ideas to take a break from the myriad of family-centered events.
Tucson has many wonderful hiking locations throughout the area’s several mountain ranges. Although Outdoor Adventures plans on hosting a moonlight hike for Family Weekend, it might be nice to do your own thing. From Tumamoc Hill to Sabino Canyon, nothing soothes the soul more than a peaceful trek through nature. If you haven’t yet had a chance to check out a Tucson hiking trail, try connecting with nature and explore one of our many walkable desert landscapes.
Super Cool News
2. Make friends with other lonely students Even if you start to feel like the loneliest soul on the entire campus this weekend, an existential crisis looming ahead, things will still work out. You just need to find other students who also face the fate of a familyfree weekend. This will allow you to enjoy the next couple of days while making new friends in the process. Honestly, what would you rather have: a few days with your family, who you have already spent most of your life with, or a lifelong friendship bond forged from a bond of family-less woes? The choice seems pretty obvious.

3.Watch some football
The Wildcats will take on USC this Saturday, and what better way to spend the weekend than watching some good old American football? Although many students will attend the game with their families, don’t let that stop you from having a great time in the Zona Zoo. Just grab some friends, or even go by yourself if those friends have too many family obligations. Who says sports can’t be a solo activity?
5. Find a new family
4. Catch up in school Teachers never seem to take Family Weekend into account when assigning homework and exams, ensuring that all students taking part will fall behind come Monday. With no family, you can get ahead on your homework, study for exams or write some essays, taking your mind off your weekend loneliness and getting ahead on all things related to school. If you take this route, just know that you will have the advantage at the end, as opposed to the family weekenders all filled with the regret of a completely unproductive weekend.
Alright, so maybe you shouldn’t completely disown your family for not showing up this weekend, but regardless, you might as well make the most of your freedom. Venture out and find a temporary family for the weekend. The easiest and most efficient way to do this is to see if you can hang out with a friend’s family during the weekend and attend the weekend events with them, thus becoming an honorary member of their family. If this doesn’t work out, just put up some “WANTED: TEMPORARY FAMILY” signs around campus, and you will be amazed at the response you’ll get from families looking to temporarily take on new members.

Fam weekend isn't all bad, international students BY MARYLINE MOULONGO @DailyWildcat
As one of the most anticipated weekends of the semester approaches, the thrill felt by students across campus cannot be ignored. It will be a chance for them to finally reunite with their families and relive the good ol' times for the weekend, on campus. But what about international students? It is unlikely that most parents overseas fly down to Tucson for a three-day stay and simply jet back as though it were a fiveminute trip. While it may seem that not participating in family weekend as a whole is the easiest solution for international students, avoiding campus the entire weekend can only make the solitude worse. If you have friends with families coming down, ask them if you can spend time with their families and tag along. Even if that’s not the case,
there's still no harm in getting out of your comfort zone and trying new activities. Who knows—you might even make new friends along the way. Jasmine Lock, a physiology freshman, said getting involved is the best way to beat out-ofcountry homesickness. “I will probably attend the Chaka Khan concert with some friends," Lock said. "We will also have a picnic with my roommates and their families. I totally dread being alone and feel really lucky I get along really well with my roommates.” From an ice cream social at the SUMC to a performance by the iconic Chaka Khan at Centennial Hall, the UA campus is the only place you don’t want to get out of this weekend. There will also be several free-of-charge activities available this weekend, so get informed and get involved. If it gets too uncomfortable and you feel left out, try finding other international students on campus and hang out with them. The UA is an incredibly diverse school with a wide range of students
from all over the globe. Now is the time to try and connect with them and plan to bond through the weekend as a group. If you want to get off campus, though, try going hiking one of Tucson's various moutain ranges, shopping at the Tucson Mall or visiting other local sites. “Some other international students I met recently are going to visit the San Xavier del Bac church, and they invited me to tag along,” said communication freshman Uzoma Ndulue. “It’s a bit far, but I’ve seen pictures and it seems really interesting. There is no way I am staying on campus. It would make me homesick.” This weekend will also be a great opportunity for international students to watch American football, if they haven't already—one of the biggest games this year will occur when the Wildcats face off with the USC Trojans on Saturday, Oct. 15 at Arizona Stadium. If you live in a dorm, you will also have the peace and serenity to video-call your family and

friends back home. This weekend, the residence halls are going to get seriously quiet for once, and video calling family can always help you feel more at home, even without having family physically near you.
Finally, remember that the weekend only lasts just that—a weekend. Not a lifetime. Soon, families will retreat back to their homes and your friends will once again become the only Wildcat family you need.
Outdoor Adventures hosts moonlight hike BY GRETCHEN KAYLOR @notsowild_cat
If you are looking for something different to do this Family Weekend, there are plenty of options offered to either supplement or replace the general package of activities for the UA student, parent, and sibling. Whether you and your family are native to Arizona or are just outdoorsy people in general, the moonlight hike offered Friday night is something special for anyone. Daniel Hartman-Strawn, an experienced guide who works at the Student Recreation Center with Outdoor Adventures, will lead the evening hike. “It’s cool to sort of embrace that and go out and be outside in the dark," Hartman-Strawn said. "It’s also cool because it just reinforces that you are out there away from civilization. It’s much easier to sort of forget that you’re right by Tucson when there’s not traffic or planes flying overhead.” The hike has been graded as moderate and traverses eight miles in Saguaro National Park all the way up to Wasson Peak.
COURTESY SELENA QUINTANILLA
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES' MOONLIGHT HIKE will take place on the evening of Friday, Oct. 14, at Wasson Peak in the Tucson Mountains northwest of campus.
Further northwest of campus than Sentinel Peak and near the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, the trailhead is about a halfhour drive with transportation provided by Outdoor Adventures. By the time hikers arrive, the sun will have set and the descent into twilight will begin as hikers start their ascent of Kings Canyon Trail. The hike
is set to last around four hours, and hikers will get back to the UA around midnight. Outdoor Adventures is not something that every student who comes across the Rec Center looks into. It does offer longer weekend trips and break trips around and out of the state, but the moonlight hike is a regular short
trip that may serve as the perfect place for the wilderness-wary to get their feet wet. This hike may seem like a big commitment, but in comparison to other Outdoor Adventure trips, it can act as a great introduction to these extra-curricular activities that don’t seem so bad now that the weather isn't scorching. You won’t even have to leave Tucson to see something totally new while spending time with your family in the light of the almost full moon. Hartman-Strawn said his favorite part of the short trek is the silhouettes of cacti, the dark mountain peaks and the distance the nighttime emphasizes between the hikers and the city lights. At this time of year, you will still find yourself sweating on these mostly shadeless hikes throughout the day. At night, though, the weather takes a drastic cool-down due to aridity, and it may surprise some people that a jacket is on the recommended equipment list. Hikers should also bring plenty of water, a flashlight and sturdy
footwear. Outdoor Adventures will provide snacks, your guide and transportation in the event fee, which is $30 for students and $35 for family and non-students. Hartman-Strawn thinks the beauty of the trip is that hikers come into not really knowing what to expect, but leave with a positive experience. “A lot of enjoying the outdoors is feeling safe, but that can include being challenged within the context," Hartman-Strawn said. "You can go knowing that you’re going beyond your individual ability with the knowledge we are compensating for that.” Going on this hike will definitely make your family weekend unique, setting apart your bonding time from everyone else by getting away from it all. You may not get your mountain-conquering selfie after the sun sets, but getting physical in the desert night may be the spiritual break you need in your semester. The trek won't be something you and your family will forget any time soon.

God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible? For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 11:11-12, Isaiah 43:5-6, Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:7-10, Amos 9:915, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 - 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2 Peter 3:8/Hosea 5:14 - 6:2. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified parallel bible (book) or KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com), and for a strict literal translation try Young’s Literal. “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1Corinthians 2:9 , John 14:15, Psalm 14:1)!

Show your family the hidden tastes of Tucson BY LINDSEY OTTO
@lindsotto
Spending quality time with your family while showing off your Wildcat pride serves as one of the many great things to do during family weekend at the UA. But after showing them your favorite study spots or spending a long, hot day at the football game, venture outside of campus and take the family to refuel at these spots around the Old Pueblo. Vero Amore On the northeast corner of Swan Road and Fort Lowell Road sits an Italian oasis that cultivates an atmosphere and cuisine true to an authentic Naples experience. Vero Amore, meaning “true love” in Italian, became a certified Authentic Neapolitan Pizzeria by Italy’s worldrenowned Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana Academy. This culinary encounter includes not only wood-fired pies, but also a speakeasy-style bar behind the kitchen for those 21 and older. This prohibition-style bar, only open Fridays and Saturdays from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m., requires reservations via text.
“I’ve worked there for a year and a half and it is so much fun, and the pizza is amazing,” said Bayleigh Preston, psychology senior and server/hostess. "We also change the drink menu every two weeks, so you never see the same things twice. There is always something new, and everyone gets a taste of what they want, so everyone will be satisfied.” Shot in the Dark Cafe A 24-hour coffee stop complete with free WiFi and live music, this quaint cafe finds its home in downtown Tucson on the corner of Broadway Boulevard and Arizona Avenue. This café serves a variety of coffee creations and caters to not only vegans and vegetarians, but also families, offering fun specials and open mic nights. “We always get a lot of local artists, musicians— people who are up late at night being creative," said Marymar Boyer, Shot in the Dark co-owner. "People are really attracted to our smoking patio and our monthly art shows, but we specialize in a lot of different things. Working here I’ve met the most open-minded group of individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.” Boyer said she loves how the customers interact with the employees because it truly feels like a second home—people just keep coming back.
Wings Over Broadway Red brick and spicy aromas welcome hungry locals into this bustling restaurant and bar on the intersection of Broadway Boulevard and Niven Avenue. Known for its variety of wing flavors, Wings Over Broadway also offers a full menu complete with domestic specialty draft beer and specials such as 50-cent wing Tuesdays. “It’s really a neighborhood restaurant—we like to be involved in the community,” said JJ Esquibel, the owner of Wings Over Broadway for nearly 10 years. “I’ve always liked the fact that we have a lot of customers who come here for special occasions, family gatherings and birthdays. I like that a lot of people enjoy having us be a part of what they do.” El Sur It’s hard to miss this red-and-yellow monolith situated on the intersection of 22nd Street and Jefferson Avenue. Known for its homestyle Mexican food and excellent service, El Sur specializes in fajitas and pan-fry tacos. “It’s basically homestyle," said Isela Mejia, El Sur owner. "Everything is made fresh daily— we don’t even keep freezers here. We are home to the $5.99 fajitas, which you really don’t find anywhere else. We make a number of unique
items that a lot of other Mexican restaurants don’t do, such as the flat enchiladas—a lot of people know them as Sonoran enchiladas—as well as calabacitas and posole.” Meija said the customers are her favorite part of the restaurant because they make working fun for her. El Sur also offers all of its customers grilled onions and jalapeños, which no other restaurant does, according to Meija. Poco & Mom’s Diner Established in Tucson in 1999, Poco & Mom’s Diner prides itself in serving Authentic New Mexican and Americanstyle food. On the intersection of Kolb Road and 22nd Street, this restaurant is the perfect place to get your hatch green chile fix, either in authentic flat-style enchiladas or with a green chile-infused bloody Marys. “We’ve been in town 18 years [and] we’ve grown a lot through word of mouth and through UA students,” said Barbara Sullivan, waitress and part-time manager. “I love the family atmosphere. We get to know our customers, the regulars and their families. We get to watch their kids grow up, and it really builds with Tucson. It’s a family-friendly atmosphere in a familyfriendly town.”

Donald Trump recently made the news for another monumentally embarassing scandal, but Republicans have waited far too long to start jumping ship now
BY RHIANNON BAUER @ rhiannon_bauer
I
t seems that recently, a lot of people have—for the first time—taken offense to something that Donald Trump said, which doesn’t make any sense to me. In case you missed it, a recorded conversation between Trump and then-Access Hollywood host Billy Bush revealed what Trump just can’t help doing when he sees a beautiful woman. Trump “just start[s] kissing” and “[doesn’t] even wait.” While he doesn’t specify what he isn’t waiting for, it’s been commonly assumed that he isn’t waiting for the woman’s consent to be kissed. He continued, “When you’re famous, they let you do it.” Trump thinks that if you’re famous, a woman who doesn’t want to be kissed will happily allow it. He thinks that his fame gives him the privilege to advance upon women in a sexual manner without receiving consent. This is terribly wrong and horrifying. Many people are picturing their female loved ones when they hear what Trump said, and they’re appalled when they imagine their loved one in that situation with Trump. But here’s the kicker—this is not unexpected or new behavior from Trump. How did so many people stick around with Trump for so long and only just now come to the realization that he’s not a good person? He’s been degrading women and minorities all over the campaign trail. Who could forget his generalization about Mexicans, declaring that they’re all criminals, drug carriers and rapists? Or his call for a “complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” as a response to a global increase in terrorinfluenced attacks? Or the time he mocked a reporter’s disability on camera at a rally? This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the nasty things that Trump has said about good American citizens. It’s good that some of the big-name

Republicans are finally denouncing him and withdrawing their endorsements of him, but it should’ve happened after the first few, if not the very first, discriminatory comment. President Barack Obama agrees. He condemned the Republican party for taking this long to realize that Trump might not be the best person to place in the oval office and further criticized those leaders who still endorse Trump even though they won’t defend his derogatory comments. “You don’t have to be a husband or a father

No person, regardless of gender, religion, race or any other characteristic, deserves to be degraded for who they are. The fact that Trump has been discriminating and verbally attacking American people since his campaign launched should have been enough to ensure
his campaign’s failure. I’ll never understand how he made it this far when he’s been speaking this way the whole time. Regardless, it’s good that so many people are finally seeing the terrible person that Trump is. Though it should’ve happened sooner, it’s good that his pro-harassment and pro-assault comments are finally driving people away. A Trump presidency would equal at least four years of hate and discrimination. In no way could this ever make America great again—that much has always been clear.

Anti-vaxxer candidates are being short-sighted BY ISAAC ROUSENVILLE @DailyWildcat
O
f the many modern precedents that the 2016 election has set, one of the most important will be the elevation of subversion as a campaign theme. When compared to the elections of the last several decades, the claim “I’m against the entire system” has reached a new level of potency in propelling campaigns and voters this cycle. Of the four current candidates still getting consistent media coverage, three of them—Gary Johnson, Libertarian; Jill Stein, Green; and Donald Trump, Republican— have devoted at least as much of their campaign to detracting from the current system as they have building themselves up as a viable alternative. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, has tried to bill her experience with a maligned system as an asset, to less-thanresounding results. While this strain of anti-establishment diction is as American as apple pie, it’s problematic that this attack on widely respected norms is also an attack on policies that are arguably very valuable for the public wellbeing. A skeptical view of the status quo is crucial for winnowing out bad institutions and policies, as candidates this year have done in excess, but it also tends to target helpful institutions and policies out of sheer negativity or paranoia. This trend to “throw the baby out with the bathwater” is embodied in the candidates’ stances on an important public health issue: vaccinations. In their blanket stance against the political “establishment,” Johnson, Stein and Trump have each unfairly criticized mandatory vaccinations. While each has a different rationale, the
DAVID FITZSIMMONS/ THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR
same result is dismissal of a valuable public policy for no good reason. Hillary Clinton supports a policy that’s also supported by scientific and public health research. Inoculation against fatal diseases played a crucial role in the birth of the U.S. Within the 1777 continental force camps in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, historians have determined that after inoculation with the smallpox virus, death rates among rebel soldiers fell precipitously. This process of inoculation was a precursor to the modern vaccines that, in addition to education campaigns and improvements in technology, eradicated smallpox from the U.S. In the next few centuries, other illnesses that ravaged populations with disfigurement, illness and death were also snuffed out by advancements in public education, technology and vaccination. This progress for public health was
disrupted by what would become a hallmark in scientific fraud and public fear mongering. In 1998, prominent British medical journal The Lancet published a paper by Andrew Wakefield whose findings—that the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine is associated with increased diagnosis of autism in young children— have been consistently exposed as fraudulent, yet they are tirelessly peddled to a fearful, public audience. Even after multiple studies exonerated vaccinations and reinforced their status as innovations that benefit public health without any association with increased rates of autism, candidates still rekindle the report’s debunked ideas to wage attacks against mandatory vaccination policies. Unlike most issues that are hotly debated, the presence of such skepticism on the subject of vaccines has a tangible impact on people’s safety. Formerly eradicated diseases like measles
became national headlines last year when the virus broke out in multiple states, an event that researchers associated with decreased rates of vaccination and calls for larger exceptions to mandatory policies based on nothing more than paranoia. The three “subversive” candidates in this election season have presented questionable arguments and rationale on the vaccination issue. Donald Trump, apparently lending credence to anecdotes of children being diagnosed with autism shortly after receiving a vaccine, has transparently made an appeal to fear at the expense of public health. Gary Johnson, who agrees that the scientific literature is correct on the subject of vaccines’ benefits for public health, claims that people’s ability to defer from receiving a vaccine is a “local issue”—even if it means that once-eradicated diseases might make a comeback. Jill Stein, who has admitted that vaccines have made a “huge contribution to public health,” has echoed language and arguments by conspiracy mongers, criticizing mandatory vaccinations as a part of the industrial pharmaceutical complex’s agenda against Americans. The discussion of certain medical exemptions for vaccinations should certainly be on the table, as well as criticism of private corporations’ stake in the distribution of drug technologies. But the fact that mandatory vaccination has resulted in major benefits for society and minimal—if any—costs shouldn’t be so publicly challenged by candidates who should know better. The only candidate who has used language that doesn’t stoke citizens’ fear or paranoia on the issue of vaccines, and avoids the attendant public health problems that result, is Hillary Clinton. The “subversive,” immature language of the other candidates leaves the public vulnerable to mass paranoia and the potential return of previously eradicated diseases.

1997 National Championship
BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
The 1997 NCAA National Championship was the hallmark victory for the Arizona men’s basketball team, head coach Lute Olson and the city of Tucson. The Wildcats faced tremendous adversity all season, beginning with the suspension of Miles Simon for academic reasons in the first half of the season. But, just like many other clouds during the season, that proved to be a silver lining, as Jason Terry assumed a leadership role in Simon’s absence. This proved to play an important factor because it built depth and leadership throughout the team that would ultimately pay dividends when the Wildcats got to the tournament. But this isn’t a story about how Arizona found its way to the national championship. No, this is about the title itself. The game versus the Kentucky Wildcats, college basketball’s alltime winningest program, was a benchmark for the program itself. Demons were exercised and legends were made as Arizona beat Kentucky in a thrilling overtime game to get a tremendous monkey off the university’s collective back. The storylines were endless: Lute Olson vs. Rick Pitino, program seeking national respect vs. a blueblood of college basketball and Lexington vs. Tucson. Arizona was unfazed by Kentucky from the start, controlling tempo and playing with the poise it had demonstrated all tournament. Make no mistake—this game belonged to two men: Arizona’s Miles Simon and Mike Bibby. The tandem dominated Kentucky, accounting for a combined 49 of the 84 Wildcat points, en route to both players’ All-Tournament team selections. Simon played the neutralizer to Kentucky’ Southeastern Conference Player of the Year Ron Mercer.
COURTESY ARIZONA ATHLETICS
ARIZONA FORWARDS A.J. BRAMLETT (left) and Eugene Edgerson (right) go after a loose ball in the 1997 National Championship against Kentucky in Indianapolis. Arizona defeated three No. 1 seeds in the 1997 NCAA Tournament, including Kentucky for the title.
Mercer was held to just 13 points while Simon scored 30, ultimately leading to him being deemed the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. Even more significant was the Arizona defense that was able to create scoring opportunities in transition off bad Kentucky possessions. Arizona showed why it was an elite program throughout the game and that it belonged among
college basketball royalty. The 1997 team’s versatility had enabled it to play several styles, which was extremely important when it came to tournament time. Kentucky long thrived on full-court pressure defense and would wear their opponents down during the course of games. But Arizona wasn’t your average team, bolstering four NBA-caliber
guards that were able to reverse the trend and wear down Kentucky by game’s end. The national championship also marked the night Bibby became a national collegiate superstar. Since his Arizona high school days, Bibby never got the notoriety that he so richly deserved. That never fazed him, and he made it known how special a talent he really was. With composure
unlike any other freshman to ever step foot in McKale Center, Bibby had a statline of 19 points, nine rebounds and four assists against Kentucky. National titles are hard to come by; Tucson has grown to know this. However, one team defied that adversity and brought home a championship that won’t ever be forgotten.

Family affair
Raquel Rodriguez
BY MATT WALL @mwall20
Friday night at the Rodriguez household is all about football. Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez and family join son and Catalina Foothills High School quarterback Rhett Rodriguez out on the field. It’s not until the next night that the Rodriguez family gets to do it all over again. This time though, Rich and Raquel Rodriguez lead their respective teams out onto the field at Arizona Stadium. Football was Raquel’s life when growing up. Her father, Rich, was one of the most famed college football coaches in the NCAA. “I can’t go out there and be a linebacker,” Raquel said, laughing. She just wanted to be a part of the sport that her family cherished. So at the age of 12, Raquel started cheerleading. “I played a whole lot of different sports growing up but stuck with cheer because that’s how I could stay involved with football and be a part of the game,” she said. Raquel, now a junior at the UA, was
named female captain of the Arizona cheer and mascots program this season, her third year with the team. “When you are put in the captain position, it forces you to stay true to your values and be a role model for the young girls,” Raquel said. “I just want to make sure that the girls and the guys have the best experience cheering at the best university.” It’s been a unique experience for Raquel. Not everybody can say their father is the head football coach at the university they currently attend. “It means a whole lot more because I love my family so much and my team so much. So being able to have both of those together makes that so much more meaningful,” Raquel said. “Next year, my brother will be coming to the UA. That will be even more special because all of us will be out on the same field.” All Raquel knew as a child was West Virginia and the Mountaineers, where Rich originally hailed as a head coach. She moved to Michigan in middle school, where her
father next coached the Wolverines. She moved again to Tucson in high school, and her father took the reins at the UA. “As soon I would get adjusted to a place, we would move and I would have to adjust from scratch again,” Raquel said. “That was some of the hardest obstacles. I’m so thankful for them because I think I would be very different if I lived in the same town with the same people [my whole life].” For many parents of UA cheerleaders, they are lucky to attend one game per year. “My parents get to live it with me,” Raquel said. “We all kind of feel the same thing and that makes it that much more special.” Since her freshman year, Raquel has stood next to her father in times of challenge and times of victory. “One of my best ones was winning on the hail mary against [California],” Raquel said. “That’s so unexpected; it was my first year. It was so special to me because my dad had never won a game like that—not on a hail mary.”

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT
ARIZONA FORWARD RAY SMITH (2) prepares to slam a dunk in McKale Center on Oct. 17, 2015, during last year’s Red-Blue Game dunk contest. Smith will return to the court this season after a season-ending knee injury after last year’s Red-Blue Game.
The 2016-2017 Arizona men’s basketball season kicks off Friday with the annual Red-Blue Game. A long-standing tradition in Tucson, the Red-Blue Game is viewed by most as the official start to the season. The game is sold out for the sixth straight year. This year’s festivities will be slightly different, and quite a bit more special. This season marks the 20th anniversary of the 1996-1997 national championship team, and that title team will be in attendance Friday. The 1997 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player Miles Simon will have his jersey recognized at halftime and hung in the McKale Center rafters. The night will feature the scrimmage and a dunk contest between this year’s Wildcats. With so many new faces in the rotation for Arizona, this year’s Red-Blue Game could help answer questions more so than in years past. The game is an intra-squad scrimmage, so it is usually tough to take away much from it. This year, though, two players have everyone buzzing heading into the season. Ray Smith returns from his ACL injury in Friday night’s game. Ironically, the last game Smith played in was last year’s Red-Blue Game.

He tore his ACL shortly after and everyone in McKale Center will be excited to see how he has recovered. Freshman Lauri Markkanen’s recruitment has generated a lot of buzz this off-season, and indications are that the big man will start at power forward this season. Friday will be the first time Wildcat fans get to see him compete against his peers. The Red-Blue Game is an important recruiting event for the program. Both committed and uncommitted players attend the game each year, and it has helped Arizona land big prospects in the past. This year’s game is no different, with six highprofile recruits planned to be in attendance. Class of 2017 recruits Daejon Davis, Lonnie Walker and Ira Lee will be in McKale Center along with Class of 2018 recruits Quentin Grimes and Brandon Williams. The two other recruits in attendance are the No. 1 and No. 2 in the state of Arizona for next year’s incoming class. DeAndre Ayton, who is the No. 1 overall recruit in the nation, will be in attendance along with four-star recruit Alex Barcello. Barcello hails from Tempe and attends Corona del Sol high school. He has been tapped as the next point guard for “Point Guard U” by Sean Miller, and Barcello certainly looks the part. After scoring 51 points during a game in his
sophomore season, Miller offered Barcello a scholarship the next day. Barcello said Miller promised to follow his high school career closely, and the two have developed a close relationship. Barcello committed this past August. He is an athletic, two-way guard who likes to play physically. “I’m a tough player; I don’t like to lose,” Barcello said. “Coach Miller told me that he wanted me to be the point guard for the future. That’s a big role to take over, but I’m willing to do whatever work it takes to take over that role.” Ayton attends Hillcrest Prep in Phoenix and is the biggest recruit to come to a Red-Blue Game ever. Besides being the top-ranked player in the nation, he is also the No. 1 player in most 2018 NBA mock drafts. Ayton is a 7-foot athletic specimen. He has skills in the post, but what is most surprising about Ayton is his deftness handling the ball on the wing. “Our staff here at Hillcrest Prep believes DeAndre can and will be the most dominant player in college basketball while at Arizona,” wrote Nick Weaver, recruiting coordinator at Hillcrest, via text message. “We believe he has a very unique skill set that will and does make everyone around him better.” Another season of Arizona basketball is here and it all begins Friday night at 5:30 in McKale Center.

It doesn’t matter your job description—it’s what needs to be done.” The life of a college football coach takes its toll on those involved and can take time away from a family’s usual activities. “We have to understand that his time is taken up a lot with the job,” Rita said. “We have to come
to him. He can’t always be home at a particular time that we want him to. We feel that being involved in the program is the way to see what Rich is going through. I think that’s worked out for us pretty well.” In the end, Raquel hopes that Wildcat fans walk away with a sense of pride. “I hope they have had a positive [experience] in the way that people are more focused on
football and coming together as a community to watch the Wildcats on the field,” Raquel said. “They’ve made a positive impact, really, with football, made it relevant again and made these experiences.” At the end of the day, Raquel is just happy to have Rita, Rich and Rhett. “Even in times of adversity, seeing him be so strong makes me proud to be his daughter.”
Rich Rodriguez BY MATT WALL @mwall20
Quarterback Pat White and his West Virginia teammates took hold of a coiled rope hanging off the locker room door before setting out onto Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. The idea, instilled by then-West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez, reminded his players to hold onto your teammates as brothers. “Understanding if he is on the edge of a cliff and the only thing keeping you together was a rope— hold that rope until you can’t,” White said. “Never let go.” Eleven years later, that one phrase continues to stick with White, who is arguably the greatest running quarterback in NCAA history. “Hold the ropes,” White said. “It’s one of those ‘fight for your life and your brother’s life statements’ that brings back the hard efforts, the countless hours and the relationships of brothers—not wanting to let them down.” It’s an ironic theme that has stuck with Rodriguez his entire head coaching career. He has since racked up a 178-109 overall record in the sport of college football. He has led his teams to 10 bowl games, produced five consensus All-Americans and seen 24 players drafted to the next level. A whole lot of baggage Twenty-one Michigan coaches and staff members sat around a table, waiting for Rodriguez to open the door. No one said a word. No one moved a muscle. Eventually, Rodriguez returned from his meeting with then-Michigan Athletics Director Dave Brandon. Rodriguez would be fired after three years with the program. “When you see a man work that hard and your dreams don’t work out, that’s tough,” sports and business author John U. Bacon said. “It’s hard to watch.” Bacon wrote the novel “Three and Out,” a detailed account of Rodriguez and his time at Michigan, which debuted at No. 6 on the New York Times Bestseller list. “It’s much harder to be a coach than I thought,” Bacon said. “I walked away saying $2.5 million is a lot of money to do anything, but I would not take that job for $2.5 million. It’s non-stop pressure.” While his time at Michigan most certainly did not go according to plan, Rodriguez saw greater success at his alma mater, West Virginia. “Early in the book, [Bacon] writes, ‘Rich Rod was the second most popular guy in the state of West Virginia, behind only the Governor,’” Arizona Daily Star columnist Greg Hansen said. “Could you imagine that now? It’s almost night-and-day different. He’s almost incognito here [in Tucson].” At West Virginia, Rodriguez got off to a
Arizona, there were so many copycats that were doing exactly what he did, and even refining it. Chip Kelly gets all the credit publicly, but he just basically picked up Rich Rod’s stuff.”

Watch Rich Rod whip, now watch him nae nae Rodriguez is a college football funny man. Just ask former UA running back, now Chicago Bears player Ka’Deem Carey. “He has some dance moves,” Carey said. “In the locker room, he would show them off. One time, he cracked the robot. It was pretty smooth.” Rodriguez put on a tuxedo in August 2015 and became everybody’s favorite secret agent James Bond in the UA football video “License to Thrill.” Just a week earlier, Rodriguez had made national news as he lined up with the Arizona GymCats to show off his Stanky Leg. “Dating back to his WVU days, he’s always one of the most, if not the most, engaging head coaches in college football,” said FOX Sports College Football Insider Bruce Feldman. “He’s got a terrific sense of humor. I’ve seen him work the booster circuit at the UA, and I’m convinced he’s the funniest guy in football.” Rodriguez and his Wildcats most recently showed off their Gladiator spirit, asking fans: Are you not entertained? “Too often, we have fallen into the trap of treating college football like it’s something allconsuming and serious,” said Pac-12 Networks play-by-play announcer JB Long. “I think Rich Rod has reminded us that it’s okay to not take yourself too seriously.” And the new Arizona football head coach is … Arizona Athletic Director Greg Byrne announced via Twitter in November 2011 that Rodriguez was hired to be the next head of the Wildcats. “He led them to a 10-win season for only the second time in school history,” Feldman said. “That tells you how good of a coach he is.” Five seasons later, Rodriguez has compiled 33 victories, four bowl appearances and won the Pac-12 Conference South division with Arizona to appear in the Pac-12 Championship and later, the Fiesta Bowl. “He’s got support from Greg Byrne that he didn’t always have at Michigan,” Bacon said. “In Arizona, Rich has the full support of the university, and you can see what he can do when he’s got that.” While he has seen success on the field, Rodriguez is very much a mystery off the field. “It’s hard because he is so private,” Hansen said. “You don’t really get to know him.” His players certainly see a different side. While Carey was recruited by former Arizona coach Mike Stoops, he called Rodriguez a “players’ coach.”

“Rich Rod took me under his wing as soon as he came into the UA,” Carey said. “He’s been a good role model for me and showed me how to be a young man with a lot of success at that age. Thank you to Rich Rod.” Rodriguez’s family is now a part of the Wildcat legacy. His wife, Rita, is famous for her nachos, awarded to the players of the week during the football season. His daughter, Raquel, is the female captain of the Arizona cheer and mascots program. His son, Rhett, who plays quarterback at Catalina Foothills, will join the Wildcats as part of the 2017 recruiting class. “[He’s a] strong family man—great father,” Bacon said. “It’s extremely hard to be a great father when you are spending that many hours at the office. He’s raised two great kids. ... It was interesting to watch them grow up probably faster than they wanted to or should, but they handled it with tremendous grace.” Raquel had to gather her belongings to move with her father to Michigan during middle school. During high school, she uprooted her life to move to Arizona. “Even in times of adversity, seeing him be so strong makes me proud to be his daughter,” Raquel said. While Rich Rodriguez has many mantras, one in particular sticks out to Carey. “You gotta be comfortable being uncomfortable,” Carey said. The phrase is one that most certainly describes Rodriguez’s career.
