The University of Arizona Police Department and the UA Dean of Students Office released the annual Campus Safety, Security and Fire Report for 2016 on Saturday, Sept. 29. Although there has been a rise in stalking, domestic violence and drug violations, the report shows that offenses such as sexual assault and liquor law violations have decreased. The number of drug violations increased from 92 in 2014, to 130 in 2015, reports of stalking increased by over 50 percent, from six to 13 between 2014 and 2015 and domestic reports have increased from 18 to 19 between 2014 and 2015. The number of reported rapes decreased from 28 in 2014 to 18 in 2015. According to Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students, Kendal Washington White, data from a sexual health survey taken last spring showed that 80 percent of our student population felt that the university would take sexual assault reports seriously. “I’m pleased with where we are as an institution, but I think we can always do better,” Washington White said. “There is an increasing number of students who are entering the University of Arizona in unhealthy relationships.” UAPD and the Dean of Students are working to make sure everyone on campus has a way to move past these incidents. UAPD Police Chief Brian Seastone said that UAPD’s
Office are encouraging people to come forward and report domestic violence because they will work together to help any victimized student remain at the UA. According to Seastone, crimes in which there is a victim such as domestic violence and sexual assault are relatively low. “The majority of offenses are crimes against property and drugs and alcohol, which have always been at the top of our list,” Seastone said. The report shows that there were 33 burglaries and 17 motor vehicle thefts reported in 2015. “Our students tend to be very trusting and leave their laptops on a table in the library or the union to go use the restroom and they come back and their laptop is gone,” Washington White said. “It’s a crime of opportunity.” The Dean of Students Office is working to make students aware that crimes such as these can be easily avoidable. Drug law violations remained the highest in increased offenses since 2013. UAPD reported there were 122 drug arrests and 130 drug violations in 2015. Noticing trends in drug violations and how they affect students is a priority for UAPD and the Dean of Students Office. “There has been an increase in wax marijuana and cocaine use at the University of Arizona,” Washington White said. “The more we know, the more we can address these situations.” Seastone said that UAPD is striving toward finding better ways to do things that will be more effective for the UA community.

outreach has been exceptional. Seastone said UAPD and the university believe their efforts to counteract campus sexual assault are gaining steam and beginning to make an affect on the UA community. He added that UAPD wants people to feel comfortable in reporting incidents to the department.

charged and fined with breaking the university’s alcohol policy. “We would never charge a victim of sexual abuse with breaking the academic code of conduct, that is just ridiculous,” Washington White said. “It also creates a chilling effect that prevents people from coming forward and that is not what we want.” The Dean of Students Office is working toward making students and staff understand their options if they become victims of sexual assault or domestic violence.

Republicans, preferred not to comment on this issue. Lea Márquez Peterson is the president and CEO of the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and is also the chair of the “Vote No on Prop 206: Protect Arizona Jobs” campaign. Márquez Peterson said she decided to chair this campaign because she is a former small business owner of gas stations and convenience stores. This background made her very passionate about discouraging what she believes would be the negative impacts of Proposition 206. She said the increase in minimum wage is “too much, too soon” after the recession. Once Márquez Peterson and her colleagues found out Proposition 206 would be on the November ballot, they immediately surveyed small businesses in the Tucson area. “Many of them said they would likely cut hours for employees, they’d be less likely to hire high school or college-aged people … they might not grow or expand like they had planned to and ultimately, they may raise the prices of their goods and services to cover the cost,” Márquez Peterson said. In contrast, Tomas Robles, deputy chairman for the Arizonans for Fair Wages and Healthy Families campaign: “Yes on 206: Healthy Working Families.” “For too long, Arizonans don’t make enough money to make ends meet,” Robles said. “And the sick leave initiative is great because no family should ever have to choose between their job and taking care of themselves or their loved ones.” Robles said that of the roughly 250 small businesses in Tucson, “a good number” of them have already publicly endorsed the, “Yes on 206” campaign. Robles and members of his campaign believe that by making the raise in the minimum wage a requirement for everyone, they can “level the playing field,” and help small businesses become

more competitive to larger corporations. In regard to the argument that Proposition 206 will encourage businesses to turn to more automation and less manual labor by employees, Robles said, “If they could do it, they would have done it by now.” George Hammond is the Economic and Research Center director for the Eller College of Management and a professor in macroeconomics and economic forecasting. “Academic research suggests that when you increase the minimum wage, that can have a negative impact on employment, particularly for teens and young adults,” Hammond said. Hammond said that the incremental increases in minimum wage that have happened so far have had only small decreases in teen and young adult employment, but the concern with Proposition 206 is that there has not been as much research about how unemployment will be affected for this large of a spike in the minimum wage. Hammond said that there are other tools available to the government that would have a more direct impact on raising incomes. One of these is the earned income tax credit, which offers a lower effective tax rate to lowincome families. The argument against using earned income tax credit instead of the raise in minimum wage is that people typically file their tax returns the year after they’ve earned the wages. So raising the minimum wage in November is supporting the argument that people “need a higher income, now,” according to Hammond. Hammond encourages students to look at the Making Action Possible for Southern Arizona website, which was developed by the Eller Economic and Research Center to show objective economic information, forecasts and analysis. Anyone can use these websites to track how Southern Arizona’s business growth, employment growth and other areas of the economy are doing in comparison to 11 other western metropolitan regions. Proposition 206 will be on the Nov. 8 ballot along with Proposition 205.

THE SCOOP EMPLOYEE JACKLYN Garcia, a sophomore studying public health and Spanish, pours a light coffee with nitrogen from a keg for practice inside Scoop on Tuesday, August 23. Proposition 206 is attempting to raise Arizona’s minimum wage to $12 by 2020.
Researchers from the UA Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health worked with the UA Bio Computing Facility on a new mobile phone app that tracks viruses like Zika, dengue and chikungunya. Kidenga allows users to report any symptoms of the viruses and any activity of day-biting mosquitoes. Also included are resources and tips for users on how to protect themselves from those viruses. The goal of the app is to create an early warning system to detect where transmissions of the diseases are occurring, according to Chris Schmidt, a public health master’s student and graduate research assistant for the Kidenga project. “We believe that better informed individuals and communities are better prepared to prevent or respond to new infections or new outbreaks,” Schmidt said. “So education is a key emphasis of the project.” The idea behind the app is to get as many people as possible to report symptoms, or a lack of symptoms, and to get more information about the diseases’ presence, according to Schmidt. The app, which debuted on Android several weeks ago and on iOS last week, is available nationwide to anyone over the age of 13. Schmidt said users receive an email
or a push notification on their phone once a week about going to Kidenga and answering questions about symptoms that are associated with the diseases and travel history. Schmidt said If their answers seem to suggest one of those diseases, users will receive an email with information about how to approach that illness. To raise awareness of the illnesses, the app also includes a map with location pins of everyone who has reported symptoms during the last week. Location data like this may be useful to health departments as the app is used more and more data is collected and validated over time, according to Kacey Ernst, a UA associate professor and the principal investigator of the Kidenga project. Schmidt said they are hoping to establish more partnerships with health departments. “That’s really the point, is to facilitate work by the health department to address outbreaks or prevent outbreaks in the first place,” Schmidt said. The app also has information about how many confirmed cases of each disease have been reported in several states on a county by county basis. Ernst said this feature is only available in Arizona, Texas, Florida and California. The creation of the project was initially led by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who then partnered with the UA to move the project forward, according to Ernst.

Holt: ‘I really feel like a professor in drag’ BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @DailyWildcat
Patrick Holt is a UA professor and a father of two. But to the greater Tucson community, Holt may better be known as Tempest DuJour: Tucson’s favorite drag queen. Holt is the head of the Costume Design program for the UA School of Theatre Film & Television, and his persona as Dujour rose to drag stardom while participating in season seven of Logo TV’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” “It’s a tough balance being a dad, doing drag and having an academic career,” Holt said. “I started doing drag almost 10 years ago, I was a late bloomer and actually started sort of late.” Holt’s drag name, Tempest, was inspired by Shakespeare, and DuJour represents Holt’s southern upbringing. “I love over-the-top hypertheatrical entertainment,” Holt said. “I live real life, I don’t need to pay to see it.’ DuJour has been the oldest member ever to be on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” so far. “That was sort of my niche,” Holt said. “People see me as an older girl in the business.” Despite having only been featured in one episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” DuJour has attracted a myriad of fans, according to Holt, who said his story has been the main cause. “I’m an adoptive parent, I overcame a terrible car crash that almost killed me, I had a major weight loss where I lost 150 pounds,and I was raised in a religion that was incompatible with who I was,” Holt said. “So people relate to all these different parts of me in different ways.” Holt said his identity as DuJour is
not a secret within his department or in his day-to-day life and several of his students and colleagues have enjoyed his performances. Christopher Allen, costume designer and shop manager at UA’s Fred Fox School of Music and Opera, caught DuJour’s appearance on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” “It was very exciting to see him and sadly he left too soon,” Allen said. “Luckily Tucson gets to enjoy him and know what a winner he is.” Holt has been working on multiple projects outside of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” like getting involved in planning Tucson Pride. “I’m serving on the board of Tucson Pride for the first time,” Holt said. “We had a peculiar situation because the previous board was dissolved and expanded.” Tucson’s 39th annual pride festival should have taken a year to plan, according to Holt. But the new board of seven got it done in two months. “It’s taken up a lot of time,” Holt said. “But I like to stay busy.” Jake Walters, a member of the LGBTQ community and a vocal performance sophomore, attended the pride festival. “I admire the performers for their bravery and commitment,” Walters said. “I’ve always been into fine arts and I think events like these need to keep happening. The more awareness people spread, the more accepting people will become, which is extremely important for the LGBT community.” Holt agreed that being a drag queen takes a lot of bravery. “I grew up in a generation where members of the LGBT community were scared of society,” Holt said. “You couldn’t live openly gay because you feared for your safety and the drag queens I saw were out in the open at the time.”
SYDNEY RICHARDSON / THE DAILY WILDCAT
TEMPEST DUJOUR ADDRESSES THE mourning crowd at the Tucson Stands With Orlando Vigil on Sunday, June 12. DuJour appeared in season seven of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” on Logo TV.
Times have changed, according to Holt and Tucson seems to grow in acceptance of the LGBTQ community each year, and Walters agrees. “I think support has improved over time,” Walters said. “It’s crazy to see how accepting the community has become. I think a professor doing drag is awesome. If anyone has a problem with it, I think they need to evaluate themselves.” DuJour also hosts a local show called Retro Game Show Night at Hotel Congress. The show consists of flashy entertainment, where drag queens make an appearance. “Drag can be glamorous, campy
and over the top, what’s not to love?” Allen said. “It appeals to many aesthetics; the sharp with, the fashion, and who hasn’t done a killer lip synch performance in their lives?” This brand of entertainment has worked well for Holt as the show has been preformed in Tucson for over five years. “The audience is predominantly straight and many of them return to every show,” Holt said. “It’s fun and that communal experience is definitely one of the biggest reasons why I do drag.” Holt’s main enthusiasm for drag stems from his love of theatre, but for him “the candy reward is when
people can relate.” Holt said that drag queens represent certain fears within the LGBTQ community. In particular, getting support from family members, which is a big issue for men and women of the community. DuJour serves not only the purpose of dramatic entertainment, but also as a gateway for Holt to educate the public about the LGBTQ community. “I really feel like a professor in drag,” he said. “I would invite people to take a walk in my shoes to see what goes into it because it’s pretty intense.”

KINDENGA, AN APP CREATED by the UA with support of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, helps detect illnesses in the community. The app allows users to report symptoms of viruses in an effort to warn people of possible infection.
KIDENGA FROM PAGE 3
Other partners of the app include the Skoll Global Threats Fund, the Arizona Health Department and health departments in Texas, according to Andrea Rivera, the marketing specialist for the UA College and Public Health and for the Kidenga project. Ernst said when the app was being developed, the Zika virus wasn’t yet “on anybody’s radar,” and the app was created more for dengue and chikungunya. But since the same vector transmits Zika, he said the team felt it was important to include the virus. The app took close to 18 months to develop, and Rivera said the researchers are seeing a “steady increase” of the amount of downloads of users, and social media campaigns about the app have helped. The scientists involved with the project are working on creating a Spanish language version of the app, Schmidt said. Ernst said she is excited about the educational component of the app. She said while governments can do vector control activities, those efforts should be coupled with “communitybased grassroots intervention” so that people are vigilant about the mosquitoes. “It’s crucial that people know about the mosquitoes,” Ernst said. “That people understand what they can do to prevent and control transmission, that they understand how to recognize symptoms, and also that they understand how to recognize when they should seek care.”

Think you need them? Think again.
What are the benefits and disadvantages of IUDs? An intrauterine device (IUD) consists of a small, T-shaped flexible plastic frame that is inserted in the uterus by a health care provider. A short string descends through the cervix into the vagina. IUDs provide very reliable contraception for as long as they remain in the uterus, or 310 years depending on the IUD type. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, the use of IUDs has increased 83% from 2006-2010 to 2011-2013. IUDs are safe, effective, and among the least expensive long-term methods of contraception available. There are four types of IUDs. Skyla®, Mirena®, and Liletta® release hormones and ParaGard® releases copper ions. All four work by immobilizing sperm to prevent fertilization and altering the lining of the uterus to inhibit implantation – if fertilization occurs. Additionally, hormonal IUDs can block sperm from the uterus by thickening cervical mucus.
As with any form of birth control, IUDs have both pros and cons: Advantages: • Over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy • Cost-effective, long-term contraception • Can be removed easily by a clinician • Fertility quickly returns following removal • Copper IUDs are available for those who need a non-hormonal option Disadvantages: • Unlike condoms, IUDs do not protect against STDs • Pain may occur at time of insertion • Require insertion and removal by a clinician • Progesterone IUDs may cause light/irregular bleeding during the first 3 months of use Want to learn more about IUDs or other birth control options?

paper, in class, “tech problems” would never be detrimental to someone’s grade. Yet one more example of these issues lies in the common use of clickers for taking attendance or in-class quizzes. When all goes well, this is a quick and simple way to count people present, but when all does not go well—as it often doesn’t—people end up being counted absent because their clicker won’t connect to the correct channel, won’t register correctly or simply ran out of battery. Luckily for us, our hands and our pencils will never run out of battery or fail to connect to the right channel, thus, it would be
much more foolproof to have people sign a physical paper to prove they were in attendance. I am not entirely antitechnology—as aforementioned I completely see the benefit of incorporating technology in to the academic world and I can see in what ways it can improve our intelligence and collaborative learning abilities. I am not trying to demonize all technological advances, it just seems that when it comes to graded things, it’s better to be “old-fashioned” and conduct tests and quizzes in a way that doesn’t rely on the often-faulty technology of our age.

Behind the scenes at Old Tucson’s ‘Nightfall’ BY BRIANNA DARLING @DailyWildcat
Held annually at Old Tucson, “Nightfall” is a scary celebration like no other. The old movie set transforms into much more than just a haunted house. It turns into an entire haunted town. Actors of all ages dress up in costumes and hide around Old Tucson to scare the living daylights out of scare-seekers. Meanwhile, Old Tucson puts on a variety of shows for the crowds to check out: a musical, a stunt show, a comedy show and more. This year, there’s a new addition to “Nightfall,” aptly named Doomtown. Musical cast lead and writer, director and star of this year’s musical, “Last Dance of the Dead,” Tiffany Ann B is excited to have guests come check out the new inclusion. “[Doomtown] is located on the high chaparral set, which is well known,” Ann B said. “It’s really cool that we turned it into a haunt [this year].” The new haunt is connected to this year’s musical, an original story about a lost love with an Old West/ Victorian twist. It was made possible thanks to an extra addition to this year’s budget. The show is mostly made up of a walk-through with scatters— otherwise known as those scary monsters walking around—but there is an extra area for hanging out free of these ghouls. There’s a full bar area set aside from the rest of the town. What is it really like to dress up in costume and scare people for money? The actors audition about a month in advance; they practice daily and have full run-throughs of every show in the week leading up to opening night. According to Christina Pflueger, who plays Madame Desdemona in the musical and appears in the stunt show, one of the more exciting parts of working at “Nightfall” is the aspect of live theater. “[We get] immediate feedback from the audience,” Pflueger said. The cast performed for friends and family a week before opening. “Preview night went really well. They did a really excellent job with the show this year,” Pflueger said. The cast will be in full makeup and plans to bring the energy to the stage of undead zombies and saloon girls. During rehearsals, the cast of

nine young women go through a set of practices meant to get them in touch with one another and ready to perform. They practice acrobatics, voice exercises and run through their songs. On the scarier side of “Nightfall” lies the stunt show, titled “Fertile Ground II.” This year’s stunt show is a continuation of last year’s, in which five kids mysteriously went missing during a camping trip. In this year’s performance, two detectives set out to find answers to the disappearances. “College kids like it because it’s a lot of explosions, effects, blood, gore and humor that appeals more to a newer generation as opposed to an older one,” said Ty Anaya, an entertainer and stuntman starring in both the musical and the stunt show. Rehearsals for the stunt show
are all about safety procedures and getting tricks down to an exact science. Everything has to be timed just right due to the nature of the show—pyrotechnics and the dangers of faking deaths abound. “What’s great about this year, with the stunt show, the deaths are super creative, [they’re] mind blowing,” Anaya said. “I’ve been here for four ‘Nightfalls’ and this is all new.” Anaya said that one part of the show that sticks out in particular is when the detective gets sliced in half with a scythe and her lower body flies up in the air. With so many stunts, danger seems to be just another factor of the stunt show that the actors have come to expect. “Five years ago, one of the actors kneed my brother in the face,” Anaya said. “He went with the
wrong knee and my brother’s teeth went through his bottom lip. He had a bunch of stitches.” The team behind the stunt show spends months working on the art and the mechanics behind the show. Anaya worked in the art department to make the effects in the show. “It’s a blood fountain,” Anaya said. While the team practices enough to ensure mistakes are few and far between, things can always go wrong when putting on a performance of this magnitude. “We’re on stage and 100-feet away are the techs pushing buttons. So if something is not going to happen, [we can’t know until it doesn’t happen],” Anaya said. “We have a lot of safeties and we have a ton of practice that happens—a lot of prep. We know exact distances for things and where they’re placed.”
The comedy show is a lighter element of this year’s “Nightfall.” With raunchier jokes than usual, Pflueger believes that the comedy show is a must-see for an older crowd. Anaya can also be seen in the comedy show, dressed in a leather bikini as professional wrestler, Chyna. “It’ll be a first for me,” Anaya said. “I tried on the bikini top part in one rehearsal and so far it’s been awkward. It’s certainly a little weird, I feel a little exposed.” Through October 31, an abundance of hard-working actors and performers wait in Old Tucson, ready to give attendees the fright of their lives.

Get spooky with the best FETCH OUR NEW Halloween movies
MOBILE APP
BY ALDO RUIZ @fayerui
As September comes to a close, we welcome the spookiest month of the year—October. A great way to get into a spooky mood is by watching Halloween-centric films. From the campy to the disturbing to the downright scary, there’re plenty of options available for Halloween season movies. Based on UA students’ input, here are some of the best movies to get you into the trick-ortreatin’ mood. “Hocus Pocus” (1993) “Hocus Pocus” tells the story of three kids who must vanquish three witches, played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy. The witches have been dead for centuries, but the kids perform a spell that brings them back to life. The film’s cheesy nature has boosted it to cult status and makes it a film that families can enjoy together. “SJP [Sarah Jessica Parker] and Bette Midler are iconic,” said Diego Lopez, a freshman studying vocal performance with an emphasis on art song. “Two LGBT forces collide in a fun, campy Halloween movie.” “The Shining” (1980) Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel “The Shining” follows Jack, played by Jack Nicholson, a family man who takes a job looking after a hotel for the winter. Jack brings along his wife and son as the family experiences strange things occurring in the old hotel. “The Shining” is regarded a classic horror film and has been subject to much analysis. The film even has a documentary, “Room 237,” devoted to the conspiracy theories surrounding the film. “It’s not super scary, but [it] kind of psychologically eats away at you while you’re watching, almost like you’re also going crazy,” said Emma Sinex, film and television freshman. “Deliver Us From Evil” (2014) Inspired by actual accounts, “Deliver us From Evil” follows detective Ralph Sarchie, who must balance the issues in his personal life with a new case that involves demonic possession. “It’s based on a true story and it’s pretty scary,” said Jonah Saenz, film and television freshman. “It makes you wonder if stuff like that can happen in

Grobler said. “Where there’s a little bit of a wry sense of humor in it but there’s also beauty.” The confidence to rock the eclectic St. Lucia style didn’t come overnight, yet this distinct style and sound separate Grobler and company from other pop bands. The overall style comes out as an articulate, clean and colorful fashion aesthetic aided by fabulous fluffy hair—a look that can be credited to Arrojo hair products, according to Grobler. Giving retroactive advice to his younger self, he

real life in your own hometown, which adds to the effect. There [are] a lot of jump-scares too, which make it scarier.” “Halloween” (1978) John Carpenter’s slasher horror classic “Halloween” takes place on Halloween night, as a murderous man returns to wreak havoc on his hometown after breaking out of a mental hospital. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (1975) Another cult classic, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” follows a young couple who come across the creepy mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter after getting stranded by a storm. The following events involve eccentric characters, fun songs and a whole lot of camp. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is available for purchase and streaming on various online outlets, but you can see it on the big screen and participate with the audience when The Loft Cinema holds its midnight screening of the movie-musical on October 15.

pointed to the first step in the journey toward that St. Lucia panache: Trust your instinct to be yourself. “Everything for me fell into place in many ways when I just started trusting my instinct,” Grobler said. “Even though sometimes it felt counterintuitive or against what a lot of other people were doing at the time.” Trust your instincts by checking out St. Lucia at the Rialto Theatre on Tuesday, and let its synth pop beats inspire your dancing feet. St. Lucia will play Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $20 and are available via the Rialto box office or online at rialtotheatre. com. Dates for St. Lucia’s fall tour can be found on its website.

ARIZONA QUARTERBACK BRANDON DAWKINS (13) runs the ball during Arizona’s 45-24 loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif. on Saturday, October 1.
QBs try to save UA’s sinking ship at UCLA BY NOAH AUCLAIR @DailyWildcat
PASADENA, CALIF. — The Wildcat football team went into Saturday night’s game full of confidence, embracing the underdog role and looking to make a statement in a prime-time, nationally televised game. Arizona was leaning on the play of quarterback Brandon Dawkins, who seemed to be gradually improving every week since his first career start against Grambling State. Dawkins looked sharp early on Saturday, especially on the Wildcats’ second drive of the game in which he had a 30-yard rush, followed by nice throws to Trey Griffey and Samajie Grant. Grant’s catch came in the form of a 12-yard score to put the Wildcats on the board first. Dawkins came to the sidelines about halfway through the first quarter in clear discomfort, trying his best to walk off an apparent injury, again. He went back out for the next series, but was clearly hindered. Dawkins came to the sidelines, where he sought out treatment and had the medical staff take a look at what appeared to be his left rib area. After a few unsuccessful drives, Arizona put backup quarterback Zach Werlinger into the game. The redshirt sophomore was equally ineffective against the UCLA defense. Dawkins came back into the game on the next drive and after a quick three-and-out, came to the sidelines hunched over in pain and immediately went to the bench. Dawkins tried again to remain in the game, but exited for good following yet another three-and-out. Werlinger came in for the final drive of the second quarter, and the first drive of the third, but couldn’t find any sort of offensive rythym. In came freshman signal caller Khalil Tate, who looked very impressive in his first collegiate drive. Tate brought the Wildcats 87 yards in 14 plays, with eight rushes for 38 yards and a nice looking pass attempt that
drew a defensive pass interference call. Arizona ultimately had to settle for a field goal on the freshman’s first drive. Tate looked impressive on his next drive, capping off the drive with a 31-yard dime of a touchdown pass into the hands of wide receiver Shun Brown. Tate also added a 13-yard TD pass to wide receiver Cam Denson in the waning seconds of the contest. Although Tate had his moments and Dawkins looked good before his injury, the inconsistency in terms of passing for the group of quarterbacks is something that will definitely be a concern for head coach Rich Rodriguez going forward. It was a night to forget for Werlinger, who, in the time that he was in, didn’t complete a pass on any of his five attempts. On the ground, which is key for quarterbacks in the Arizona offense, he rushed twice for negative-four yards. Dawkins was not much better passing wise, going 8-for-17 for 73 yards and a score before exiting. In terms of rushing, Dawkins had five carries for 44 yards. Tate went 5-for-9 through the air with 72 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing 15 times for 79 yards. The freshman showcased his dual-threat capabilities, but he was mostly playing against a UCLA defense that was up by three scores and wasn’t showing anything too exotic in terms of blitzes and coverages. Tate looks as though he could be the answer to the Rubik’s Cube-type backup quarterback puzzle, as he went out and performed as well as he could. He tried to claw the Wildcats back into a game they had no business being in, while Werlinger did nothing but help Tate make his case for the backup role. But Tate has to face a real test and not be placed into a blowout before any real judgments are made. We’ll have to wait and see what the extent of Dawkins’ injury is, but if the game against UCLA was any indicator, it looks as though the guy who was the No. 4 quarterback to begin the year might have moved his way up to first-string on the depth chart.

Pick Six: Tate sees action; Magloire ‘banged up’ BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports
Editor’s note: This is an abridged version of this week’s Pick Six. For the complete story, visit DailyWildcat.com. PASADENA, CALIF. — Arizona was routed by UCLA 45-24 Saturday night and the Wildcats fell to 2-3 on the season. This is the second consecutive season Arizona begins the Pac-12 Conference schedule without a conference win in the first two games. Regardless of the performance the Wildcats displayed, there were some takeaways that could benefit Arizona down the stretch. There were also a few ugly notes that could potentially keep the Wildcats out of a bowl game for the first time in the Rich Rodriguez era.
THE GOOD The fresh(est) face at quarterback Once Arizona quarterback Brandon Dawkins came out of the game with an apparent rib injury, head coach Rich Rodriguez went to third-string Zach Werlinger. The redshirt sophomore threw five passes and didn’t complete one. Rodriguez then went to his freshman Khalil Tate, who was a 4-star recruit and played 30 minutes away from the Rose Bowl last year at Serra High School. Tate went 5-for-9 for 72 yards, was Arizona’s leading rusher with 79 yards and walked away with two passing touchdowns in his collegiate debut.
“I thought he competed well,” Rodriguez said. “[Quarterbacks’ coach] Rod Smith has done a great job getting him a part of our offense to learn. When Anu [Solomon] was in, [Tate] was fourth and he was going to redshirt. The last couple weeks, [Tate has] gotten a few more reps just in case and we put him in there and I thought he made some plays.” This year, Tate was just a number and a name on the depth chart that seemed irrelevant. But even he feels like the starting position is up in the air every week. “Every week, it’s anybody’s job and if you practice well, then you’ll get your shot in the game,” Tate said. Front seven is UA’s biggest strength The change of the defensive front either adding another pass rusher on the line or at the linebacker position Saturday night was a concern. Playing against a potential No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft in Josh Rosen wasn’t going to be easy, but Arizona’s defense blitzed nearly every play and rattled the young quarterback early. “He’s a relatively young quarterback and he played last year, so he has some experience, but he’s a young quarterback and you just want to get after him,” Arizona linebacker Cody Ippolito said. “Our game plan was to hit him as many times as we can and get him scared.” Linebackers and the defensive line flashed brilliance while pressuring Rosen. Even though the Wildcats couldn’t sack him, Rosen was on the ground for a great portion of the game.

was once viewed as the best defensive option for Rodriguez. With only two tackles against Grambling State, Magloire took a step back and has been MIA for the past two weeks.
Magloire did see the field in the first half and didn’t record a tackle, which led the defense to play without him the rest of the way. Rodriguez said Magloire was “banged up,” but Ippolito said it was all about a different approach in preparation for UCLA and that the only focus is on winning games. “Just game plan,” Ippolito said. “As a player,

every bit as powerful as what you say.” Trier’s play, however, is arguably the most important facet of this year’s team. The Wildcats’ offense will be more versatile this season, but will still rely on the sophomore guard’s playmaking ability. “He came back for all the right reasons. I’ve never been around a player that I have seen in the gym more than him,” Miller said. “I think he’ll be one of the best guards in the country and certainly one of the best guards in the Pac12 [Conference] this year. He was tremendous last year as a freshman and he’ll add to that. If healthy, I think he’ll have a big, big year. He’s earned it.” Miller has pegged Trier as one of the team’s leaders, and Trier is ready to answer the call. “One of the biggest changes for me this year is having a different seat on the bus,” Trier said. “Being called upon to do different things. ... But I’ve put a lot of time in to make sure I’m ready [to lead].” With the mix of returning starters and the shiny new freshman class, Tucsonans and Wildcat fans everywhere are once again dreaming of a Final Four. “The fact that it’s in Phoenix [Glendale], you do the math on that, what that would feel like [for us],” Miller said. The Wildcats held their first practice Sunday, and will play the the Red-Blue Game on October 14 in McKale Center.
Ten-yard cushions, lack of discipline and overall fundamentals are making this secondary look below average at best. Cornerback DaVonte’ Neal was targeted several times, missing on seemingly every throw his way. “We just weren’t clicking like we were supposed to,” safety Tellas Jones said. “They played better and they deserved to win.
