with alex guyton realize that the only way to escape the horror film is to get to the end credits, meaning that they’ll have to participate.

It’s a clever, fun premise, which is largely taken full advantage of. They learn to manipulate the tropes of the universe to their advantage. For example, whenever someone starts showing skin, the slasher, disfigured Billy Murphy, appears. They use this idiosyncrasy to lure him into a trap, which, of course, blows up in their face.

They team up with the campers of “Camp Bloodbath” universe, which begets too many generational disconnect jokes. The first time an ‘80s teen doesn’t recognize an iPhone, it’s not particularly funny. You can imagine how it is the third time.

However, the heart of the film, which completely works, is the relationship between Max and Nancy, her mother’s character.

There’s a unique, sad sincerity to a daughter wanting to save her mother’s life, especially when it’s really only the ghost of her mother, if that. “Crimson Peak” and “Goosebumps” deal heavily with the themes of reckoning with the ghosts of the past; undoubtedly,

mother’s death, Max’s sole interaction with her is watching old home movies.

There is one other movie where her mother lives forever: the fictional 1986 slasher “Camp Bloodbath.” Her mother plays one of the ill-fated campers, Nancy; she pops her top off, opens her legs and, subsequently, gets stabbed.

With her friends Vicki, Chris and Gertie (Nina Dobrev, “The Vampire Diaries;” Alexander Ludwig, “The Hunger Games;” Alia Shawkat, “Arrested Development”), Max attends an anniversary screening of her mom’s best-known work. A fire breaks out and through some movie magic, they escape through the screen into the world of the “Camp Bloodbath.”

This world is in direct contrast to Max’s sadder reality.

The verdant trees and open spaces of the campground are a far cry from her small, nondescript room.

The colors are vibrant and oversaturated, the campers are (mistakenly) upbeat but most importantly, her mother, or rather, the character her mother plays, is still alive.

o film genre is as dependent upon triedand-true tropes as the slasher flick, which means no other genre has had those well-established patterns inverted, broken down and parodied as much, either.

The most popular example of self-referential slashing is the “Scream” series, where self-aware teens that are well versed in the ways of scary movies must survive the knife. More recently, 2012’s “The Cabin in the Woods” had some fun by turning haunted houses into the playthings of governmental agencies.

“The Final Girls” enters into this pantheon and wears its trope on its sleeve, or rather, its title.

By the end of this movie, and the movie within this movie, our heroine Max Cartwright (Taissa Farmiga, “American Horror Story”) will find herself the final girl, the last remnant of her doomed group of friends, and who will use her virtue to defeat the masked villain.

Max has a loving relationship with her actress mother, Amanda (Malin Åkerman), a relationship that is cut short by a car accident.

“The Final Girls” bests them both in this aspect.

This is thanks to the two leads. Farmiga has eyes that can relay heartbreak, fear and determination. Åkerman doesn’t have as diverse of a range due to her character, but the two play off of each other well.

On a side note, it’s totally unbelievable for the 37 year-old Åkerman to play a teen, but maybe that’s another meta comment on how high

schoolers are never played by, well, high schoolers.

Overall, “The Final Girls” executes a clever premise with humor, heart and machete hacking.

Five Things: Halloweekend in ‘The Dirty T’

BY Vicky Pereira The Daily Wildcat

UA Dance: “Premium Blend”: The UA School of Dance is full of incredible performers, eight of which will be exhibiting their skills on the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre stage on the opening night of “Premium Blend,” on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. The dance is a mixture of ballet, modern and jazz that comes together through the choreography of internationally-renowned José Limón .

The show features Limón’s piece on American Indian folklore and culture, entitled “The Unsung,” which is performed in silence. Each of the eight male dancers will be featured in his own solo within the piece, as well. Just last week, this team of dancers was featured in the José Limón International Dance Festival and performed “The Unsung” for the Next Generation performances at The Joyce Theatre in New York City, so they are warmed up and ready for tonight’s show.

Performances continue throughout this weekend and next weekend, and tickets can be bought online at www. uapresents.org.

23rd Annual Southwest Flair A-Fair: Practically every weekend in Tucson boasts some sort of art or craft event, whether it’s a new exhibit opening at one of the many gallery spaces around town or a local artist displaying their work. This weekend’s artsy attraction is the Southwest Flair A-Fair, a convention held at Plaza Palomino and featuring over 150 artisans and craftsmen.

The event will feature high-quality art of all medias and appealing to a variety of tastes. A portion of the proceeds from the fair benefit the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tucson as well, so there’s even more reason to check out the Flair A-Fair any day this weekend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Halloween Scream at The Fox: After 85 years of being located in the center of downtown Tucson, The Fox Tucson Theatre has built a reputation for being a popular venue for shows and performances of all kind, including the paranormal.

This Halloween night, Fox will open its doors to believers of the supernatural and delve into some of the strange happenings that have occurred at the historic theatre.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and there will be a public ghost tour offered at 6:30 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., the venue will screen Stanley Kubrick’s “The

The Fox Tucson Theatre is hosting Halloween Scream at The Fox on Saturday, Oct. 31 at 6 p.m., which will include ghost hunting in the theatre and a screening of “The Shining.” The Fox has collected its share of haunted happenings over the years which will be the focus of the Halloween celebration.

Shining,” and to top off the night, a few members of the Tucson Ghost Society will lead a special private tour of the premises and use their equipment to hunt for apparitions from 10 p.m. to midnight.

Nightfall at Old Tucson: Far down west Speedway on the other side of Gates Pass is Old Tucson Studios, a recreated western town that has been used in hundreds of films since it was built in the late 1930s. The studio is open to tourists

during the weekends, but every Thursday through Sunday night this October, the quaint western town has transformed into a ghostly version of itself for Nightfall at Old Tucson.

With access to a small town’s worth of old buildings, the folks at Old Tucson boast that Nightfall isn’t your typical haunted house.

Friday and Saturday are the last two days to go through the haunted attractions and see the spooky live performances, which is open from 6 p.m. to midnight on both nights.

“Rocky Horror Picture Show” 40th Anniversary: Forty years and tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans later, and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is still going strong in all of its campy, cultclassic goodness. To celebrate this, The Loft Cinema is having their 37th annual Rocky Horror Halloween Bash Saturday night. The night begins at 7 p.m. with a special early evening screening of the sing-along version of the film. At 11 p.m., the

party really kicks off with some preshow games, prize giveaways and a costume contest with $100 for the winner.

After that, the film will be screened again at midnight for all the creatures of the night in attendance. Ticket prices vary based on the screening and can be purchased online at www.loftcinema.com or in person.

Halloweenies Release the hounds! Festooned Fidos and their owners flocked to the UA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Doggie Costume Contest

BY Victoria teplitz The Daily Wildcat

This Halloween, dogs wearing costumes are as hot as a fresh hot dog grilled at the UA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry picnic. Forget the candy; it’s the doggy treats that are worth dressing up for. As a former judge for a Doggie Costume Contest, I believe no one can do the catwalk as well as these pups.

This “barktacular” event was one part of the department’s family picnic. The picnic is an annual department event where the affiliates collaborate with food and fun, bringing along their families, friends and pets. The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department’s program coordinators, Olivia Mendoza and Ellie Warder, and executive assistant Margaret Gomez organized the event. The picnic took place on Oct. 23 at Himmel Park.

“This has been the most doggone fun I’ve had all week,” said fellow judge Gabriel Mercado.

The contest consisted of five categories: best dog team in costume, most humorous, most original, most creative and best overall.

In order to give the contest my full attention as a judge, I walked around prior to the contest to see if some of the dogs had gotten into character. As the dogs got into their costumes, some seemed a little confused while others were totally killing the game and playing their character to the fullest.

A few in particular caught my attention: One pug who

was dressed as a cheerleader entered with another pug dressed as a Dallas Cowboys football player and a boxer dressed as the “ruff-furree.” Those three won the best dog team in costume award; it was a given, especially because the pug was a Dallas Cowboys player.

Roux, a chihuahua dressed as the Cheshire Cat, won the most original award. Halloween is a time to be something you are not. That dog definitely pulled off being a cat, which is why the judges and myself thought that Roux was the most unique. Some say a chihuahua is more like a cat than a dog, so Roux’s costume fit like a glove.

It was dfficult to choose a winner among so many cute dogs, at least until Ziggy, a 2-year-old Rottweiler and German shepherd mix, took to the grass to strut his Batman costume. This dog was evidently made for this costume. His posture and stance resembled his heroic character. I did several double-doggy takes; he just played his charisma so well. Ziggy took the best overall award in the contest.

“Bat dog was the hero of the competition,” fellow judge Savannah Sanchez stated.

Sanchez had explained her past experience with dog costumes, which includes her own Chihuahua that she has dressed up as a witch before.

The dogs’ costumes were judged on the humor or fear factor, creativity, originality, presentation and showmanship. The judge’s ballot consisted of what criteria the dogs should present. After the judging took

place, each principle was tallied up based on what our thoughts as judges were.

“They are all winners,” Warder said.

Every winner was rewarded with a gift bag filled with a box of Milk-Bone Dog Treats, portable doggy waste bags with attached flashlight for those night walks and two toys, with one being squeaky.

But at the discretion of the dog, most don’t enjoy being wrapped up in material they can’t even tell the color of.

The costume contest only lasted around 10 minutes due to some of the contestants getting a bit uncomfortable in their costume.

If you are dressing up your dog or dogs this Halloween, don’t expect them to tag along on your neighborhood outings. It is also best to have your camera settings set up before you put the dog costume on because most dogs are just one-shot wonders once they get in their Halloween attire.

Overall, the contest was a tail-wagging experience. If any cats tell you different, well it’s because they are cats and they weren’t allowed to be judges.

Remember, in a dog’s world, it’s trick then treat. If you tell them “trick or treat,” they will look at you funny because you just gave them a choice and dog tricks are only as good as the treats you give them.

UA collectively wraps it then taps it

BY Elisabeth Morales The Daily Wildcat

Despite popular belief, the UA is one of the best universities in the country when it comes to sexual health.

According to David Salafsky, director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services at Campus Health Service, about 68 percent of students say they are usually always using a condom when engaging in sexual intercourse.

Looking back all the way to the early 2000s, there has been a slow increase of students admitting to using condoms, but this percentage is pretty typical to what Campus Health has been seeing over the last few years.

This could be for a number of reasons.

According to the 2015 Campus Health and Wellness Survey, 35 percent of students are exclusively dating one person—which can have an effect on their method of birth control.

“Some percentage of those students are in committed, monogamous relationships and maybe they’re using some other form of birth control or they’ve already been tested, so STD prevention is not maybe as high a priority

given the relationship,” Salafsky said.

Jolene Main, a criminal justice sophmore, and her boyfriend have been in a committed relationship for over a year. She agrees with Salafsky when it comes to wondering why the percentage of students wearing condoms is not higher.

“Many couples may not want to wear a condom because they are very comfortable with each other and trust in each other,” Main said. “They may also feel much more physically, and may achieve a better-feeling orgasm.”

As for STIs, it is difficult for Campus Health to accurately know if there have been any recent increases or decreases, and though there have been increases of certain STIs within Pima County, it has not reflected the same increase on campus.

“I think when we look at things, our numbers are on a basis just of students that come in and get tested,” Salafsky said. “Obviously we want everybody to get tested who is sexually active, but that’s not reality.”

However, Campus Health certainly is doing its part.

SPIRITED SMILES FOR THE ULTIMATE FAN

According to the 2014 Trojan Sexual Health Report Card, the UA is ranked fourth out of 140 colleges and universities throughout the country. The report is an annual ranking of the sexual health resources and information available to students on campuses nationwide.

Salafsky makes it clear that, despite what people would think, condom usage and STIs among students at the UA have leveled out , and they are doing all they can to keep it leveled, or bring the percentage down for STIs and up for condom usage.

“I think sometimes there’s this perception that everyone is having a lot of sex on college campuses,” Salafsky said. “There certainly is a small percentage of students who are engaging in a lot of sexual activity, but overall, I think it’s surprising for people to see that most people are dating or not having sex, and then there’s a large percentage who are having sex with maybe one or two partners.”

Prop 200 attempts to blur border lines

BY Lauren Renteria The Daily Wildcat

While it is still in the making, a group of UA students have spearheaded the creation of Proposition 200, a policy that would allow Mexican studemts to attend the UA while paying in-state tuition without Arizona residency or U.S. citizenship.

A petition signing was held near Heritage Hill on UA’s Alumni Plaza on Oct. 21, in support of the new history-changing proposition.

Passionate students who plan on making a difference are behind the $1.2 million proposition.

Ben Stevenson, the director of this political move and a UA student, has taken this current semester off along with other students, Cody Connelly, David Colón and Dan Jordan, to help this proposition come to fruition. One of the main goals in creating such a clause is righting the wrongs of the past and resolving what the group has recognized as a 150-year rift between Mexico and the U.S. “It comes down to the Gadsden Purchase,” Stevenson said. “The purchase gave us Tucson, Sierra Vista and some other parts of Arizona, and in the nitty gritty of the document, there are a lot of pieces of land that were not included and it technically makes them not paid for; we just kind of took them.”

However, this is only one component that the new proposition works towards fixing. For

courtesy of Ben Stevens

A member of the student group responsible for drafting Proposition 200 holds a sign during an effort by the group to collect signatures in October. Prop. 200 proposes that Mexican students be eligible to attend the UA without state residency or national citizenship.

Colón, this idea of extending education across the border hits home. He explains the lack of opportunity that his family in Mexico has in comparison to that of students in the U.S., and what this sort of proposition would do for those in hope of a better future.

“Being in the [U.S.], not a lot of people realize that being here is a blessing,” Colón said. “To be able to spread that to my family—that would be unbelievable.”

Not only would this new proposition bring education to those who do not have the

opportunity, it would also bring advantages to the Tucson community.

Stevenson explains that even though some might think that this plan would have a detrimental effect on the community, in reality, he said he thinks more good can stem from Proposition 200.

“With these students that are coming over, we are going to have a lot of revenue stream without any effort,” Stevenson said.

The proposition works towards making a more flexible border for those who want to

attend the UA. For those who worry about immigration, Jordan explains that many of these thoughts are uninformed and that this new proposition would help end misconceptions. He also adds that those who are accepted would need a document similar to a student visa.

“We are going to have a higher education level across the border and that can lead to more intelligent discussions and more connections among humans and a lot of these misconceptions would just be thrown out through living and learning,” Jordan said.

In agreement with Jordan, Connelly said he thinks that misconceptions come down to some being uneducated on the topic and not doing their own research.

The fate of the proposition ultimately comes down to the vote and support of the people. Proposition 200 has already gained a large amount of support at 15,000 signatures and counting. The group plans on making a townhall meeting in the near future, but they emphasize the importance of the people’s, and mostly students’, approval.

“We want everyone’s voices to be heard,” Stevenson said. “If you’re upset about it, or you don’t agree, that’s OK, but we also want to hear your ideas, but voting yes on [Prop.] 200 is a vote for your school.”

McSally keeps busy, heads to Washington

BY Sebastian Laguna The Daily Wildcat

Republican Congresswoman Martha McSally, who represents Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District, introduced a bill intended to help create more opportunities for the nation’s veterans in addition to her continued work on issues aimed at helping the region and the nation to grow economically.

One of McSally’s recent accomplishments was the addition of the Sonoran Corridor highway to the upcoming federal interstate legislation that will soon be debated and voted upon by Congress.

The corridor highway, which would connect Interstates 10 and 19, aims to cut down on the amount of travel time to Mexico and facilitate more trade with Arizona’s crucial economic partner to the south.

The measure has received support from the entire state of Arizona’s congressional delegation and was successfully attached to the Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2015.

As a result, the proposed highway would be eligible to receive federal funds to help provide for its construction and maintenance.

In addition to this, the Border Jobs for Veterans Act of 2015, a bill that McSally

sponsored, was signed into law on Oct. 16.

The Border Jobs for Veterans Act was McSally’s first piece of legislation to become public law. The act became the first measure— excluding the renaming of the Douglas Port of Entry—to be introduced by an Arizona House member that would be signed into law this year.

The bill requires cooperation between the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in order to enhance efforts to recruit members of the Armed Forces who are looking to serve as Custom and Border Protection officers.

“This new policy will help fill the vacancies at our ports of entry with qualified, trained service members, helping them transition to civilian life while addressing the staffing shortages at our ports,” McSally said in a press release on Oct. 19. “I’m proud to be part of this bipartisan effort to get results on a local problem, and will continue to work to advance common sense, achievable solutions on the issues important to Southern Arizonans.”

These recruiting efforts include more opportunities for CBP field offices to partner with military bases, identify shared activities in order to expedite hiring qualified candidates and outreach efforts to educate qualified members of the Armed Forces about CBP officer positions.

Another measure that McSally voted on was the potential reauthorization of the now-closed Export-Import Bank of the United States.

McSally voted in favor of bill H. Res. 597, which calls for the reauthorization of the bank, on Tuesday.

The bill, proposed by fellow Republican Rep. Stephen Fincher, passed in the House and had previously passed as an amendment to the Senate and will still require further action in order to end up on President Barack Obama’s desk. The upcoming national highway bill could be an opportunity for the House to attach the Export-Import Bank to must-pass legislation.

Many of the Export-Import Bank’s critics cite that it is harmful because it provides major corporations with large sums of guaranteed loans but does not actually help to stimulate the economy.

However, the measure has been able to garner bipartisan support among House Democrats and Republicans.

“Without the Export-Import Bank thousands of jobs will be put in jeopardy and local economies will pay the price,” Fincher wrote in a tweet on Monday.

McSally has worked across the aisle over the past weeks to promote several pieces of legislation that she said she believes will help

Women not hysterical with their health BY hailey dickson The Daily Wildcat

W

hen I was seventeen, I returned from a trip abroad with a mysterious illness. What started as flu-like symptoms that lasted for months turned into continuous nausea and vomiting, and eventually uncontrollable tremors that severely inhibited my ability to function.

I missed almost my entire senior year due to the illness. Desperate to get better, I saw medical professionals of every specialty in search of a diagnosis. And, at a time in my life when additional duress was the last thing I needed, I was treated pretty horribly by doctors.

As soon as they realized my symptoms didn’t neatly check all the boxes of a standard diagnosis, my doctors began to look in the complete wrong direction. They categorized me almost immediately as a type-A, high-achieving teenage girl whose apparent “anxiety” (this was not an issue I ever complained of at the time) had gotten the better of me. Essentially, my illness was “all in my head.”

One doctor went so far as to suggest I stop seeking medical treatment and start seeing a psychologist. Had I listened to his dismissive prescription, I would never have gotten better.

It was a female doctor who listened to

me without judgment for the first time, who finally ordered a brain scan to assess my obvious neurological issues, who, using that scan, noticed the slight anatomical anomaly in my cerebellum that was a factor in all of my symptoms.

That female doctor finally found the treatment for my condition that allowed me to return to life as a normal college student.

This is not to suggest female doctors are better than male ones. This is to suggest that the doctors who were most sensitive to my experiences as a young woman were the same ones who disregarded unfair gender biases to provide the best care.

The medical system is still plagued with biases that damage healthcare outcomes for women. When the cause of an ailment isn’t obvious, doctors are way more likely to default to a psychological explanation for women than for men with the same symptoms. Far too many women have experiences similar to mine; sadly, of those women, some are unfortunate enough to never receive an accurate (sometimes lifesaving) diagnosis.

Dismissal of women’s legitimate health concerns plays into the ancient notion of hysteria, a panacea diagnosis derived from the Greek cognate “hystera”—which literally means uterus. A “diagnosis” of hysteria basically means “I have no idea what’s wrong with you, but you’re a woman, so you’re probably just crazy.”

According to the revered “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,” hysteria existed as a legitimate medical diagnosis for women as recently as 1980.

Though hysteria is no longer a valid medical

term, its implications remain deeply rooted in modern healthcare.

Cardiologist Dr. Adam Splaver reveals: “In [medical] training, we were taught to be on the lookout for hysterical females who come to the emergency room.”

To this day, doctors are taught to embrace the “hysterical female” perspective. They dismiss women who seek care for physical emergencies as anxious, hypochondriacal or attention seeking.

Consequences of this bias can be disastrous for women. In an essay for Pacific Standard Magazine, Maya Dusenbery speaks of two friends who faced blatant misdiagnoses due to gender bias.

Doctors insisted the first woman’s “stabbing chest pain” was merely anxiety before they realized it was pericarditis—inflammation of the lining around the heart. A doctor dismissed another friend’s “dizziness, wooziness, ringing in [her] ears, and floaters in [her] eyes” as depression, suggesting she see a therapist. The woman had West Nile virus.

Doctors with training like Splaver’s put women in real danger. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, women under 55 who present in emergency rooms with heart attack symptoms are “seven times more likely to be misdiagnosed than men of the same age. The consequences of this

“

[are] enormous: being sent away from the hospital double[s] the chances of dying”.

Statistics like this further discourage women from seeking medical help when it is warranted. Women are made to doubt their own instincts and dismiss concerning symptoms for fear they’ll be mistaken for crazy. This selfdoubt worsens health outcomes for women and perpetuates the cycle of malpractice.

For some, women’s empowerment is the key to mitigating hazardous biases. If a woman knows her body, is familiar with the warning signs of medical emergencies and is willing to fight for proper care, she will be taken seriously. Such a mindset involves victim-blaming: it shifts the burden of proof to the sick, when doctors are the ones who should treat women’s concerns with validity.

When sexism kills, modern medicine must adapt to negate prejudices against female patients. Doctors need to be trained to identify and work past their biases to maintain the standard of care women deserve.

But maybe that’s just my uterus speaking.

When sexism kills, modern medicine must adapt to negate prejudices against female patients.”

shoot.

most explosive defenders in the league was too great to consider petty things like domestic violence. Especially in an industry where a large part of recruitment revolves around physical size and the subsequent intimidation factor.

Hardy was impressive in his season debut against the Patriots, sacking Tom Brady and solidifying Jones’ suspicions that he was going to make an immediate impact on the field.

You are forgiven Greg Hardy, because you are a flat-out stud athlete.

The broader issue here of course is not that Hardy gets to play football. It’s the constant double standard that has always been very visible in sports, specifically the NFL, and is underlined by Hardy’s reinstatement into the NFL. If you’re good, no one cares how bad of a person you are.

Even if you almost killed someone.

It is this sort of disgusting behavior that is creating quite a buzz of negative energy around the NFL. Though it continues to be mega-popular, there is a growing, strong current of criticism from the public on many issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse and concussion protocol.

The fact that Greg Hardy is currently employed and paid an obscene sum of money is indicative of what is obvious: the league values strong and fast players and does not concern itself with the actual individuals.

As an avid football fan, I want to love the NFL, I really do. But this Hardy situation makes that difficult, and having to watch the league forsake any scrap of morality for the holy dollar is weighing heavily on my conscience.

The NFL is just too damn entertaining to stop watching, and I guess that is the way the NFL likes it, so who cares if some of their players should be in prison?

Joint research Dr. Sue Sisley, who alleges the UA fired her for political reasons, is ready to finally begin her study on the effects of marijuana on post-traumatic stress disorder

BY Ethan McSweeney The Daily Wildcat

Dr. Sue Sisley was wearing red scrubs and a smile as she strode into the marijuanaemblazoned office of a company called Weed Depot in a north Scottsdale business park.

Sisley started seeing patients via video out of a conference room in this office that serves as a headquarters for a marijuana dispensary after the UA terminated her contract last summer, which set off a controversy that turned into a cause celebre for pot activists.

For years, Sisley attempted to begin research on the effects of marijuana in treating posttraumatic stress disorder, only to be faced with setback after setback—the biggest of which being her dismissal from the UA College of Medicine.

The end may now be in sight, however. Sisley and fellow researchers said they expect to begin the three-year study in January or sometime in early 2016.

“Fortunately, after five years, we have persevered and we are now in a position to finally implement this study,” Sisley said.

The last thing that’s needed is final approval from the Drug Enforcement Administration so marijuana plants can be provided for the study, the researchers said. That approval can only be given once the renovations to Sisley’s research site in Phoenix are complete.

Dr. Sisley Underneath the red scrubs, Sisley was wearing an Arizona Alumni shirt. She pulled out a UA hat, too, but she cautioned that she was not trying to appear “flippant” with the university.

She said there are plenty of good people doing good work at the UA. She’s a graduate of the UA College of Medicine, class of 1995, and worked at the College of Medicine–Phoenix campus.

Sisley’s interest in using marijuana to treat PTSD began because she said she has spent about 20 years treating veterans—at the Phoenix Veterans Administration hospital and her own private practice.

Working with these veterans, she noticed the debilitating effects of PTSD on their lives.

She estimates that dozens of the veterans she treated over the years committed suicide.

Some veterans would tell her that they felt smoking marijuana helped when it came to coping with PTSD. “I have people in my practice who are reporting that marijuana has saved their lives, and I’m as skeptical as anyone,” Sisley said.

MAPS, which sponsors Sisley’s research, “I felt a duty to at least study the plant rather than just dismissing claims as erroneous or as declined the UA’s offer to do the study with coming from a bunch of drug-seeking stoners.” another researcher at the helm, Sigurdson says.

“Had they agreed,” Sigurdson said, “we So, working with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, or MAPS, would be working on the study today.”

He also points out that the UA successfully she crafted a study to look at the effects of marijuana in treating PTSD about five years lobbied the state Legislature in 2013 to allow medical marijuana to be studied on university ago.

The Food and Drug Administration campuses, laying the groundwork for the study approved the study in 2011, followed by the to take place.

She then turned New York Times that quoted Biggs as saying that to hospitals around Arizona to host the study a UA lobbyist told him that there “will not be a with no luck.

However, she said she never wanted to be a marijuana activist study.

“

and that she was “forced” into becoming one because she encountered so many obstacles to trying to do research with marijuana.

She has spoken at events from a conference at Walter Reed Military Medical Center to a pro-marijuana rally in Seattle and has been interviewed on CNN. Sisley maintains an official Facebook page for herself that has accrued more than 2,400 likes. The page’s cover photo imposes an image of Sisley against a backdrop featuring depictions of marijuana plants.

Howard Baer, founder and owner of Weed Depot, is one pot supporter who was drawn to Sisley’s cause.

He said he learned about the UA controversy and offered the office space in Scottsdale for the study. Sisley declined the offer, because she said she didn’t want to be associated with the marijuana industry.

He then offered Sisley space in a conference room in the office for Sisley to use personally for her telemedicine practice. She accepted that offer.

“She can have anything she wants from us,” Baer said.

Sisley said she had been trying to find a space to do the study in Arizona that was not associated with pot legalization advocates, but found it difficult without the backing of a university or a hospital. She said she didn’t want the optics of “being in bed” with the marijuana industry.

After months of difficulties in finding a place, Sisley finally relented. The study will be housed in a warehouse near the Deer Valley Airport in north Phoenix that is located next to a marijuana grow site, satisfying city zoning regulations, she says.

More construction is still needed inside the warehouse to clearly separate the marijuana grow from the study before final DEA approval, Sisley said.

Rick Doblin, founder and executive director of MAPS, said this is the culmination of a long-fought effort to begin a critical piece of marijuana research.

“It’s been like pushing a boulder up a hill,” he said. “It’s been extremely slow and problematic, but we’re getting there inch by inch, step by step.”

A ‘redesigned’ study Marcel Bonn-Miller, an adjunct assistant professor of psychology in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, heard about Sisley’s dismissal from the UA last summer and

Dr. Sue Sisley works on her laptop in a conference room in Weed Depot in Scottsdale. After five years of efforts, Sisley is about to begin a study on the effects of marijuana in treating post-traumatic stress disorder.

Sisley

from page B6

reached out to MAPS to offer his assistance on the research.

He brought in Dr. Ryan Vandrey, an associate professor in the Behavioral Psychology Research Unit at Johns Hopkins University, who has experience in research with marijuana.

After looking at the study, the two determined that they would need to redesign the study in order to maximize the “meaningful findings” that could be discovered with the research, said Bonn-Miller, who also works at the Philadelphia VA hospital.

“The only thing that stayed the same was that we were looking at different types of marijuana on PTSD symptoms,” Bonn-Miller said.

Bonn-Miller will be the coordinating principal investigator for the research, meaning he will be overseeing the entire study.

He said Sisley doesn’t have the experience Bonn-Miller and Vandrey have in marijuana research, because she has worked as a clinician, not a researcher.

This isn’t to discount the efforts Sisley had put into getting the research started, BonnMiller said. Sisley’s study as it was had been approved by the FDA and the UA’s institutional review board.

The study will take place at two locations—in

Phoenix with Sisley and in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins with Vandrey. Thirty-eight patients will be seen at each site for a total of 76 subjects.

Patients, who have been screened and vetted for the study, will come into the sites to smoke different strains of cannabis, Vandrey said. The study will take three years to complete once it begins.

Bonn-Miller, as principal investigator, will write the findings when the research is complete.

Bonn-Miller and Vandrey emphasized they don’t have an agenda going into this study and added that they’re not interested in marijuana activism. Sisley said she wants to present the findings from the study whether it bodes well or not for marijuana legalization advocates.

“We’re trying to streamline these things and give a balanced view of what’s going on without the agenda,” Bonn-Miller said.

The redesigned study also received a $2.2 million grant from the Colorado Department of Health in December, securing the funding that eluded Sisley and MAPS before.

“It’s a good collaboration,” Bonn-Miller said about working with Sisley and MAPS. “I think their enthusiasm and stick-to-itiveness and coupled with our background has really helped push this forward relatively quickly.”

The trouble with pot research The hurdles to this study aren’t unfamiliar

territory for Doblin.

Doblin founded MAPS in 1986 originally to develop medicinal uses for MDMA and then marijuana. In 1992, Doblin worked with a researcher from the University of California, San Francisco, to try to study the effects of marijuana on AIDS patients, only for the research to be stonewalled by federal regulators for four years.

Vandrey said he’s encountered extremes on both sides of the debate on marijuana’s effectiveness—people who are totally for pot and people who are totally against it.

The state of marijuana in the U.S. now is much different than it was even five years ago when Sisley began her efforts.

Arizonans may see marijuana legalization on the ballot in 2016, where they could join Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Oregon as states that allow marijuana for recreational use. Several other states have legalized medical marijuana and decriminalized its use.

This trend of state legalizing pot, however, does not necessarily indicate research on marijuana will be easier in the near future, Doblin said.

The problem is marijuana remains federally illegal and is classified a Schedule I substance by the FDA. Doblin said that momentum may prove to better legitimize marijuana’s medicinal purposes.

“That’s going to change the dynamics and

will build even more support for research into marijuana’s medical uses,” he said, “because hopefully the resistance to it will be reduced.”

As for MAPS’s original goal of turning marijuana into a legal prescription drug in the U.S., Doblin estimated that may be about 10 years away.

“It’s still a long road,” he said.

Sisley said after the years of trying to get the research started and her activism for marijuana, her primary concern remains with helping the veterans she’s treated over the years.

“I feel the weight of these veterans on my shoulders every day,” she said.

For now, construction awaits completion at the Phoenix warehouse where patients will soon be coming to smoke marijuana for the study and Sisley and fellow researchers will begin compiling data.

The DEA requires secure storage for the cannabis that will be used in the study. For that Sisley, acquired a safe, one of the only things inside the warehouse now that’s not construction equipment.

That gray safe sits on the concrete floor, waiting for marijuana to be stored inside.

Wildcats look to hound the Huskies

BY Kyle Hansen

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football is leading the Pac12 Conference in average points per game (41.8) while Washington leads the conference in points allowed per game (18.9). Something will have to give, as the Wildcats will once again attempt to get back on track Saturday when they travel to Seattle to take on the Huskies.

The Wildcats lost a game to Washington State that could have placed them firmly back in the divisional race and catapulted them into prime position to defend their Pac-12 South title.

“Certainly we’re disappointed with Saturday’s result,” said Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez on Monday.

“We went through the film, went over a couple of adjustments and then talked to the team, talked to the defense quite a bit and then we’re on to the Huskies.”

Washington will be the toughest defensive opponent the Wildcats have seen so far this season in terms of yards allowed. The Huskies are currently tied for 22nd in the country in points allowed at 18.9 points per game, including holding USC to only

12 points on their way to a 17-12 upset over the Trojans in Los Angeles.

Washington’s yards allowed per game are one of the areas the Wildcats could capitalize on. The Huskies’ defense allows about 364 yards per game. Arizona leads the Pac-12 and is currently ranked No. 5 in the country in total yards while averaging 535 yards per game.

It will be interesting to see who comes out on top with a fast-paced offense set to face a rock-solid defense.

The Wildcats’ biggest question going into the game is who will start at quarterback.

Rodriguez pulled starter Anu Solomon in the second half of Arizona’s game against Wazzu in favor of backup Jerrard Randall. There is a strong possibility that we might see both quarterbacks at different points in the game.

Rodriguez said earlier this week that Solomon played well last weekend, but that he made the quarterback adjustment to add a spark to the Wildcats’ offense.

Defense is what has been hurting the Wildcats as of late. Arizona has allowed an average of 52 points per game in its losses this season.

The Wildcats continue to rank at

the bottom of college football in terms of defense. Arizona is 109th in the country in yards allowed per game with 452 yards.

Arizona has continued to struggle putting pressure on quarterbacks and, as was the case against Luke Falk, has been shredded in the passing game.

Another freshman quarterback, Jake Browning, will be taking aim at a wounded Wildcats defense this weekend.

Browning has looked good recently but statistically, he might be the most inefficient Pac-12 quarterback Arizona has seen so far. Browning has thrown for 1,332 yards, six scores and five interceptions with just a 62 percent completion rate.

Keep an eye on Washington running back Myles Gaskin. The freshman has recently taken over the starting running back role and has performed well. He has accumulated 58 carries for 397 yards and three touchdowns over the last three games.

This young Huskies corps could cause problems for a struggling Wildcats defense.

Running back Nick Wilson (28) skids through Washington’s defensive line on Nov. 15, 2014.

The Wildcats finished last year’s game against the Huskies with 375 offensive yards.

and defensive lineman Parker Zellers (knee) are questionable for Saturday’s showdown. Receiver Tyrell Johnson (hamstring) is doubtful and linebackers Derrick Turituri (hip) and Scooby Wright III (foot) remain out.

It will ultimately come down to which strength controls the game.

If Arizona’s offense quickly piles up yards, expect the Wildcats to have a better chance to win the game.

However, if they are dominated by the Huskies’ defense, it could be a long day for Arizona football.

Kickoff in Husky Stadium will be at 8 p.m. and will be televised on Fox Sports 1.

Bay Area road trip looms for Arizona

BY Brandon James The Daily Wildcat

Jesus Barrera/The Daily Wildcat

Middle blocker McKenzie Jacobson (18) leaps and misses a block on Friday, Oct. 2. Arizona will look to sharpen its game in the second half of Pac-12 Conference play to get back into conference contention.

Arizona volleyball kicks off the second half of Pac-12 Conference play this weekend, traveling to the Bay Area to take on No. 7 Stanford on Friday and California on Sunday. No. 19 Arizona has a 4-6 conference record and is 14-8 overall.

The Wildcats will hope to come out their recent slump and finally get over the hump against a top ranked opponent.

“We haven’t been really that sharp the last couple of weeks,” said Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio. “It’s been hard for everybody.”

Though the Wildcats have struggled the last couple of weeks, Rubio said he thinks his team is getting back on track and he thinks practices have gone very well this week.

“I’m looking forward to going to the Bay Area [to see] if we can play at the level we had played and maybe a little bit better,” Rubio said.

Limiting errors will be one of the things Arizona will need to do this weekend if it hopes to be successful. Rubio said he witnessed the most errors he’s ever seen his team make in a four-game set against Colorado last Friday.

Middle blocker McKenzie Jacobson agrees with Rubio that errors have been a huge cause of Arizona’s recent struggles.

“We haven’t been very consistent in games with errors,” Jacobson said. “We’re making a lot of them. I think we’re trying new shots; incorporating what we work on in practice into games can be nerve-racking.”

Arizona must be able to limit the amount of errors it commits to have a successful second half, but it will also be important for the Wildcats to be able to close out matches against top-ranked opponents.

The Wildcats had two opportunities to close out their match with Stanford. Arizona was up 23-22 in the fourth set and 13-12 in the fifth, but it squandered the lead both times.

This is not the only time the Wildcats have

been close and have been unable to close out a match. Arizona has been competitive in all of its losses, aside from a straight set loss to UCLA. The Wildcats lost a tight five-set match to Texas and lost in four sets to Ohio State, ASU, Washington, USC and Colorado.

“At the time, when the moments are the biggest, we [have] to play our best,” Rubio said.

“I think we’ll do that. I know we’ll play well against Stanford. I’m excited about playing them and we’ll certainly be ready to play.”

The Wildcats will need to clean up their play with a plethora of ranked teams still left on the Pac-12 schedule. Arizona will face No. 1 USC, No. 5 Washington, No. 8 UCLA and No. 14 ASU over the next month.

Friday’s matchup at Stanford will be televised on Pac-12 Networks and begin at 8 p.m.

Collins Kibet: From Kenya to UA

BY Hunter McAdams The Daily Wildcat

Most Arizona fans know the Wildcats’ cross country star as Collins Kibet. Others know the junior as C-40, a nickname Kibet bestowed upon himself.

“I just thought about it and some actors have cool names,” Kibet said. “That made me think how I could make a name up.

I figured C-40 was pretty cool, I liked it and it makes life more interesting.”

Kibet and his sister Elvin, whom Collins spends a lot of time with, are from Eldoret, Kenya. Elvin was on the UA cross country team before Collins.

She called her brother before he joined the team to tell him about the UA and spark his interest.

Collins began running after high school and eventually became invested in running for the UA. He then moved to Arizona to join his sister as a Wildcat and had

her show him the ropes.

“When I was a freshman, she was a junior. Having her at UA was the best thing ever,” Collins said.

“She was the only family I had around. I was blessed to have her here with me and how we were on the same team was amazing.”

Less than three years later, Collins has achieved accolated awards including 2014 Pac-12 AllAcademic First Team, 2015 AllPac-12 in the 800-meter race, 2015 NCAA All-American First Team in the 800-meter race and 2015 Academic All-District.

Collins is heading into his third straight Pac-12 Cross Country Championships and is Arizona’s team leader. He holds the men’s best times in the 4-mile race and 8K this season.

The veteran takes pride in leading a youthful Arizona team.

“Right now, those guys are pretty young and they look up to me,” Collins said. “I try to show them ways to relax and I explain

to them that I was in the same situation my freshman year. I want to make sure that once I’m graduated, that they continue on with the spirit that I left them with.

He said he thinks the younger runners are on their way to just that as they have improved over the course of the season.

“The team is full of many young guys and [they] will be stronger and better next year,” he said.

As for the veteran Wildcat on an individual level, Collins said he knows that he has made improvements, but is also seeking to get better day-by-day.

“I’ve been improving since freshman year,” he said. “Last week, I got one of my personal bests in my cross country career, and it shows how I have been making good progress. We’ve been training [for the Pac-12 Conference Championships] for two months and it is the big championship we’ve been waiting for. We are going to go in there and

give it our all and do our best.”

Collins said he hasn’t figured out what he aspires to do after leaving the UA. His three sisters, including Elvin, have become professional runners.

Collins is currently a business marketing junior and said he likes it a lot and doesn’t know if he wants to pursue a professional running career after college.

“Right now, I’m still thinking about it,” Collins said. “I’ll need to see if I can run competitively [in my senior year]. Right now, I’m not thinking about it as much.”

His main focus, for now, remains on the Pac-12 Championships.

Watch the Pac-12 Cross Country Championships on Pac12 Networks at 10:30 a.m. Friday to see Collins and the Arizona team in action.

Newly ranked ‘Cats ready for next challenge

BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind for Arizona women’s soccer. After losing three games in a row, the Wildcats responded with three straight wins against Washington State, Oregon and Oregon State.

The winning streak brought the Wildcats to 11-4-2 overall and 5-3 in Pac-12 Conference play, good for a third-place tie in the conference.

It also led the Wildcats to jump back into the top 25 in the NSCAA Coaches Poll, where they’re now ranked 21st in the country.

It leaves Arizona with just three regular season games remaining with the next two coming on the road against the mountain schools, Colorado and Utah.

While the Utes and Buffaloes are both near the bottom of the conference, No. 10 and No. 11 respectively, Arizona head coach Tony Amato said this is one of the tougher road trips the Wildcats face.

“It’s the hardest trip in the Pac-12 in terms of when you travel,” Amato said. “You fly on the Thursday, play the game [on Friday afternoon], then fly Friday [night] to get to Utah.”

The travel isn’t the only obstacle, either.

“And there’s an altitude issue and two good Pac-12 teams,” Amato said. “So it’s a hard trip, and we’ll have to be ready and prepare this week to go up there and try to find a way to win a game or two.”

The altitude may not force the Wildcats to dig deeper into the bench, but it could prevent them

from playing at the fast pace they have grown accustomed to.

“I don’t know that,” Amato said when asked about using different substitution patterns. “But we will prepare in terms of hydration and our approach to it and our tempo of the game. We just need to be aware of some of those details.”

Senior Hayley Estopare isn’t concerned about the thin mountain air.

“Every year, everyone thinks the altitude is

going to get them,” Estopare said. “But honestly, it’s just about how you play and how hard you play.”

Of course, the Wildcats aren’t exactly healthy and Amato may still have to utilize the team’s depth more than usual.

Gabi Stoian and Charlotte Brascia were both forced to leave the game with injuries in Sunday’s game against Oregon State.

Stoian, who leads the team in scoring,

tweaked her quad and did not return for what Amato said were precautionary reasons. Still, the head coach isn’t exactly sure if she’ll play this weekend, but it does seem likely.

“I think it’s too early to tell. [The medical staff] said that they didn’t feel like it was too bad,” Amato said.

Brascia, on the other hand, suffered a head injury and her status will be treated with much more caution.

The first game of the weekend is on Friday in Boulder, Colorado, against the Buffaloes. The Buffs (7-8-2, 1-6-1) are 0-6-1 in their last seven games. Frankly, it’s a game the Wildcats should win and will need to win if they want to threaten Stanford for the conference title. That game will kickoff at 2 p.m. and will be televised on the Pac12 Networks.

The Wildcats will then fly to Salt Lake City to take on the Utes. Utah (5-9-3, 2-6) has lost its last five games and didn’t score a single goal in that span. The Utes also have the conference’s worst defense, allowing 1.35 goals per game, so it’s another one the No. 21 Wildcats should win.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

If the Wildcats can avoid an upset and come away with two wins this weekend, they could possibly move into a tie for second place in the conference while distancing themselves from the middle of pack. It’s a great opportunity for a team that not too long ago was treading water in the desert.

Time to give the crafty Randall his shot and Tucson has made its decision clear. Randall received 53 percent of the vote while Solomon was sitting at 47 percent. Arizona fans want to see Randall and they have every right to see the dual threat quarterback perform against the Huskies. “[Solomon and Randall] practice both parts of the offense, but inevitably, [Randall is] better at some things and [Solomon] is better at some things,” Rodriguez said. “We know that as coaches and plan accordingly.”

Randall is the best option for not only this week, but for the rest of the season.

The redshirt senior replaced Solomon for the nearly the entire fourth quarter at Colorado because the offense couldn’t find a groove punt after punt, and it wasn’t like Jared Baker was going to continue to put the team on his back.

The spark the offense needed was lit once Randall entered the game and the offensive push was in full effect, according to offensive lineman Jacob Alsadek. “[Randall] is explosive and it seems like when he comes in, he can score and he can score fast,” Alsadek said.

A

rizona travels to Washington on Saturday for the first of a two-game road trip, and even though it’s week nine, the Wildcats have quarterback competition between Anu Solomon and Jerrard Randall.

This week’s depth chart has an “or” separating the two, indicating either of the quarterbacks could start this week.

Both are special in their own way.

Solomon has the better touch on a football that is catchable for receivers, but Randall has nearly perfected the craft of a mobile quarterback.

Solomon was supposed to be the undisputed leader on this desperate Arizona team that has battled injuries all season, but Randall has proven that he can run with the big boys. Who will head coach Rich Rodriguez go with on Halloween night?

The Daily Wildcat Sports Twitter took a poll on who will start in Seattle,

“He makes quick plays, big plays, stuff like that.”

OK, maybe it was a fluke that Randall ran for 81 yards and threw for 42 yards in the fourth quarter, but explain a situation like Washington State, where Solomon was missing in action in a Homecoming weekend against a rebuilding Wazzu team.

Is it the concussion Solomon suffered in the first half against UCLA that is holding him back? He’s had the expression of a deer in the headlights ever since.

Solomon’s performance last week was his worst this season with 145 passing yards. Barely throwing over 100 yards against a team led by the pioneer of the spread offense in Mike Leach will not get it done.

Randall was thrown in late in the game, expected to return the duel back in Arizona’s favor. He finished with 242 all-purpose yards to go along with two touchdowns, but it was a day late and a dollar short thanks to Solomon’s performance early on.

With Randall playing out of his mind as of recently and leading the FBS in average yards per rush with 11 yards per carry, why not try him out

Tyler Baker/The Daily Wildcat

Quarterback Jerrard Randall (8) sneaks the ball past Washington State’s defensive line on Saturday, Oct. 24. Randall threw for 137 yards and two touchdowns and added 105 yards on the ground in the Wildcats’ 45-42 loss.

over Solomon?

Throw Randall and witness his craft he’s perfected with a wounded Arizona team that has its back against the wall and just one win away from becoming bowl eligible.

Rodriguez has already won half the battle because now Washington has to prepare for two quarterbacks, which is the best situation possible for the Wildcats.

“If I knew, why would I tell anybody?” Rodriguez said.

Solomon will be forced to do some

Tucson’s Premiere Gentlemen’s Clubs

soul searching if Randall starts this weekend, and that is exactly what a player like Solomon deserves.

Arizona should expect big production from Solomon if a fire is lit under the sophomore quarterback.

But as of now, Randall is the best option moving forward as the Wildcats only have four games to pick up a seemingly elusive bowl-clinching victory.

Do the Monster Mash this Halloweekend

BY Alex Furrier

The Daily Wildcat

Creepy, crawly, spooky Halloween fun should always involve good music. Instead of dredging to the abysses of Spotify and YouTube, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a tidy 10-song playlist to put you in that Halloween mood:

1

“Nightcall”—Kavinsky Start it off right with “Nightcall,” a song guaranteed to usher in macabre escapades.

Best known as the intro song for the Ryan Gosling movie “Drive”, Kavinsky’s hit starts with a wolf cry and only gets better. Call the night, start it right.

2

“They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!”—Sufjan Stevens Never one to shy away from festive absurdity, Sufjan Stevens has got you covered with this upbeat ballad of an old school zombie chase.

The song walks—or runs, in this case—the line between spooky and fun.

3

“Do They Know it’s Hallowe’en?”—North American Halloween Prevention Initiative, or NAHPI More ridiculous fun with this one. This charity single is in the same vein of all those cheesy Christmas songs that celebrities team up on.

This collaboration boasts an impressive list of contributors, including Win Butler of Arcade Fire, Beck, Feist, Jenny Lewis and comedian David Cross.

4

“Humming”—Portishead Is it really Halloween if you haven’t heard a theremin yet? In the off chance you are among the 99 percent of people unaware of what a theremin is, I guarantee you’ve heard this eccentric instrument and its iconic whine. It came about as a result of Soviet Russia research, but now is synonymous with creepy haunted house vibes. “Humming” brings things down a notch with this down-tempo, theremin-filled ditty.

5

“Thanksgiving Moon” – DM Stith Odds are you’ve never heard of Mr. DM Stith, and this track has a meager 41,000 or so listens on Spotify. All the more reason to include it on the Halloweekend playlist. This song wins the award for “Most likely to be played by a drifter who wandered out of the woods to join you at your campfire before silently slipping away as fog rolls in.” It’s a prestigious award in the Halloween playlist circuit.

6

“My Body’s a Zombie for You”—Dead Man’s Bones Ryan Gosling keeps poking his fingers into this playlist, but more Gosling is rarely a bad thing. Gosling’s musical endeavors led him to create the band Dead Man’s Bones with his friend Zach Shields, and “My Body’s a Zombie for You” features Gosling’s crooning alongside the evercreepy children’s chorus.

Gang Recording Studio

7

“Red Right Hand”—Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds “Red Right Hand” fills the necessity of a scary story within our spooktastic Halloween playlist. Nick Cave understands that a good scary story plays strongest with an ominous, unknowable threat constantly on the horizon.

That mysterious threat is the Red Right Hand, an allusion to the classic “Paradise Lost.” Bonus points that this song is the theme of the first two installments of scary movie franchise “Scream.”

8

“Hudson”—Vampire Weekend I have no idea what this Vampire Weekend song is about–much like every other Vampire Weekend song—but it does nail the prophetic dirge tone that earmarks that sweet, sweet Halloween feel we’re going for. Who knows what really happens in “Hudson,” but the echoing chorus and spooky reverb gives me the feeling that whatever it is, it ain’t good.

9

“Anna”—Will Butler Will Butler of Arcade Fire makes his second appearance on this playlist. The bouncy, staccato rhythm of “Anna” contrasts to the dark subject matter. Check out these lyrics: “Ooh, take out the knife / Take out the knife / Ooh, sharpen it twice / And count all the money.”

Not exactly sunshine and rainbows. Shout out to the “Song Exploder” podcast, which I reviewed earlier this week and features an episode with Butler breaking down “Anna.”

10

“Monster”—Kanye West (feat. Jay Z., Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver) Finish the night thumpin’. If you create a playlist without any Kanye tracks, does Yeezy bust down your door and question your blasphemy? I’d rather not find out on Halloween, so we’ll end with a track off his masterpiece, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. After all, Halloween is about cutting loose and letting your inner monster out.

Recetas de los muertos: Day of the Dead Día de los Muertos Classic Recipes: Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday in which families celebrate the lives of their loved ones who have passed. It is often a joyous event with family, music and food. Glorious food. Some of the dishes people prepare are the favorite meals of the deceased, and others are simply traditional. If you are feeling a bit courageous, try some of these delicious recipes for your own Day of the Dead celebration!

Pan de muerto Pan de muerto is a sweet bread adorned with a bone design that is traditional for many Dia de los Muertos celebrations.

Start to finish: 2-3 hours Servings: 6-10 Starter: 1 ¾ cup flour ⅔ teaspoon table salt 2 tablespoons sugar Two 7-gram packets dry yeast ½ cup lukewarm water 2 eggs ⅔ cup white sugar ¾ cup unsalted butter 1 ¾ cups flour 3 egg yolks Wash: 3 egg whites 2 tablespoons orange juice ¼ teaspoon Mexican vanilla 1 tablespoon oragne zest Decoration: Softened butter White sugar To make the starter culture, mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast together in a mixer or beat by hand. Add water and eggs. Knead for about 3 minutes until dough is elastic and shiny. On a floured table, shape into a ball and place in greased container. Cover and let rise approximately 2 hours.

To make the bread, mix starter with remaining bread ingredients. On a floured

table, divide the dough into two equal portions (for two loaves). Work one half of the dough at a time. Separate each half into three sections.

Use one third to make four smaller pieces of equal size for the decorations. Form one of the four smallest pieces into a small ball for the center at the top and the others into strips to make the “bones.” Form the larger portion into a ball as round as possible. Place all pieces on a baking sheet and let rest until they rise to double the size, approximately 1 hour. Brush large ball with eggwash and place small ball on top and the strips vertically around the loaf.

Firm up with both hands. Brush the bread again with eggwash. Bake at 375 degrees for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 355 degrees. Turn off the oven and leave the bread inside for 2 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack.

To decorate, use a pastry brush to paint the loaf with softened or melted butter and sprinkle with white sugar. Makes 2 medium loaves.

(Recipe by Renata Gonzales) Diana Bauman

Arroz con leche Arroz con leche is a sweet rice pudding and very common as a dessert.

Start to finish: 35-40 minutes Servings: 4-5 4 cups whole milk 1 cup Arborio rice ⅛ teaspoon salt 1 cinnamon stick ¼ cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Warm 4 cups of whole milk. Heat 1 cup Arborio rice with 2 cups of water, ⅛ teaspoon salt and 1 cinnamon stick. Slowly add milk (about ½ cup at a time) to the simmering rice, stirring constantly. Let most of it absorb before adding the next portion. Finally, add ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stop heating when the pudding is still very soupy—about 20 minutes or so. Sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy!

(Recipe from Julia Alverez) Champurrado

myhumblekitchen

Champurrado is a warm, thick chocolatebased atole drink.

Start to finish: 30 min (including cooling) Servings: 4-5 4 cups of milk 6 ounces piloncillo or organic whole cane sugar 1 thick stick of Mexican cinnamon 1 ½ (3 ½ ounces) Tablet Mexican Chocolate like Taza ½ cup of corn flour 2 cups of water In a medium size pot, simmer the milk along with the piloncillo, cinnamon and chocolate until it dissolves. This will take about 6-8 minutes.

Mix the corn flour with the 2 cups of water until all the lumps have dissolved. If needed, use a strainer to get a fine mixture.

Add the corn flour mixture to the pot and stir. Keep simmering at low heat and keep stirring for about 8-10 more minutes until the chocolate has a light gravy consistency.

If fresh corn masa is available in your area use 1 cup of masa instead of the corn flour.

Piloncillo or panela is unrefined whole cane sugar.

When buying piloncillo or panela, make sure it is pure. Some stores carry a look alike version that is just regular sugar in the form of a cone and doesn’t have the flavor or nutrients of piloncillo.

To easily cut the piloncillo, warm the piloncillo first to soften it.

HIDDEN GEMS

BY JUSTICE AMARILLAS The Daily Wildcat

Traveling the country can get pretty costly when it seems like the only two options are flying or driving. Fear not, this goal is still in reach thanks to Tucson’s very own Amtrak train station.

Located on 400 N. Toole Ave., the station was built in 1907 by the Southern Pacific Railroad and has provided an alternative mode of transportation ever since.

The biggest reason why people travel by train is the low cost. A one-way ticket from Tucson to Los Angeles costs as little as $45. Prices and departures vary by destination, but compared to other modes of transportation, taking a train can be exponentially more affordable for college students and ambitious travelers.

“The train is a great alternative for people who don’t like airplanes and the limited carryon rules. We have very few restrictions here,” said station agent Ron Strong. “Of course, people always ask why it takes so long, and that can turn people off. The train is more for sightseeing and making multiple stops.”

For college students, taking the train can provide a much cheaper alternative for going home for the holidays or for just visiting on the weekends or breaks.

Not many people are aware of this gem of a transportation service in Tucson.

“People know more about us now than

Friday, Nov 6 7:30pm

Arts & Life • October 30-November 1

before, but the biggest reason why people still don’t know about us is, of course, the money,” Strong said. “We haven’t had the funds to put up advertisements.”

In addition to its basic transportation fares, Amtrak also offers affordable vacation packages including multiple-location destinations with hotel accommodations and free admission to certain attractions. Prices start from about $130 for the cheapest vacation and about $2,000 for the most expensive vacation.
