Controversial name leads to criticism BY Gabriella Vukelic The Daily Wildcat
A soon-to-open campus restaurant is coming under fire for its controversial name. While some have deemed it offensive, the owner calls the name “mysterious and playful.” Pete Turner, the founder of the restaurant Illegal Pete’s, was given a letter by a student group urging him to change the name of the restaurant chain that will soon make an appearance on University Boulevard. Members of the UA chapter of Movimento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan, or M.E.Ch.A., a student organization dedicated to uniting Chicano students for social justice causes, wrote in a letter to Turner that the name Illegal Pete’s, is offensive to the large population of Hispanic people in Tucson. In a change.org petition, the organization demanded the restaurant have its named changed or not operate in Tucson. In its letter, M.E.Ch.A. explained that the name is considered offensive, ignorant and racist toward Mexican, Mexican-American and Central-American culture in Tucson. “… [We] are not like other communities where your business exists, and we are more than willing to show you that,” M.E.Ch.A. correspondents

The future site of Illegal Pete’s sits on the southwest corner of Tyndall Avenue and University Boulevard on Nov. 12. Illegal Pete’s owner, Pete Turner, has recently received criticism from local groups because of the eatery’s controversial name.
wrote in the group’s letter. “We are here to tell you that no longer will you be able to claim blissful ignorance and profit from racism.” According to the Arizona Daily Star, this is not the first time Turner was ordered to change the name of his restaurant chain. Residents of Fort Collins, Colorado, where a branch of the restaurant opened last year, also
petitioned for an end to the name. Turner has repeatedly defended the name. The planned opening of Illegal Pete’s is in midDecember at 876 E. University Blvd. According to the Illegal Pete’s website, the first restaurant opened in Boulder, Colorado, in 1995. The website states that Turner’s inspiration for the name came from a bar he read about in a novel,
as well as from his late father’s name: Pete. “He was a bit of a good-natured hell-raiser in his day,” Turner said about his father on the site. “He was my moral support during the months leading to opening, and the two years of operation up to his death in August 1997.” Tucson will be Tuner’s first out-of-state installation of the Illegal Pete’s chain. The restaurant serves a Mexican-style menu, with tacos and burritos, and its locations are typically centered in college towns. While many think the name is offensive, others have a different opinion. Jennifer Emerson, a sophomore studying speech, language and hearing sciences, said she believes those who think Illegal Pete’s is attacking Hispanics are overreacting. “I don’t really think it’s offensive at all. The name is fine, especially that it is a chain, so it has nothing to do with targeting Hispanics in Tucson,” Emerson said. “I bet a bunch of students wouldn’t think it’s racist. The people protesting are just completely overreacting.”

Telemedicine: doctors in the digital age BY Michelle Jaquette The Daily Wildcat
The way people receive medical care in Arizona and across the globe is transforming. Physicians have been able to diagnose disease, provide consultations during surgery and help family members care for
patients suffering serious illnesses via video. This new sector of health care is known as telehealth or telemedicine, and it’s a growing industry. “It’s been estimated this past year that the number of people receiving telemedicine services went up from about 10 million to 15 million [in the U.S.],” said Dr. Ronald S. Weinstein, a
co-founder of Arizona Telemedicine Program and pioneer of robotic telemedicine. The Arizona Telemedicine Program, based out of the UA, leads the nation in the number of papers published on telehealth, and has become a global leader since its founding in 1996. ATP provides opportunities for

Its educational programs have been taught internationally with organizations like the U.S. Army, using ATP to provide assistance abroad. “We provided technical assistance to Panama and educational assistance to Panama for about nine

verification of drivers from passengers. Whaling said that Uber encourages riders to verify their drivers’ identities before they get into the car. The app provides the make and model of the driver’s car, as well as the driver’s name and contact information. Simran Heer, a pre-business freshman who estimated her use of Uber to about 15 times a week, believes this information can be helpful in identifying a driver. “When you go on Uber, you really look for the car that’s on your Uber app,” Heer said. “You’d have to be really out of it to get in a car that’s not the one on your Uber.” The drivers are also able to identify the passengers before they get in the car, allowing them to check if they are picking up the right customer. This kind of two-way identification is echoed in Uber’s rating system. Riders can rate their drivers, while drivers can rate their passengers. This feedback is then monitored by a team, one of which is based in Phoenix. “They’re available 24/7, so if a rider didn’t feel like their driver met their expectations they can alert us and we can look into the situation,” Whaling said. “No trip with Uber is anonymous. We have the data, we have the trip information and rider and driver information as well.” In order to become a driver for Uber, a potential driver has to go through a verification and background check process, according to Whaling. Potential drivers are required to go through a vehicle check and to accept Uber’s terms and conditions before becoming an employed driver. “Uber is assuring their drivers are brought on-board to provide to the rider that everybody is on the same page, so that the person getting their car should be able to have access to the driver like

The Tucson Police Department continues an ongoing investigation in response to an assault by an individual posing as an Uber driver. A person leaving the UA campus was assaulted by an individual posing as an Uber driver, prompting last week’s investigation. According to Officer George Eppley from the University of Arizona Police Department’s Crime Prevention unit, the incident happened when an unidentified person picked up the victim on the UA campus. The driver was given a destination, and while they headed in the direction of that destination, “something occurred,” Eppley said. This is the only recent case of an incident like this happening at the UA, according to Eppley, and he said he doesn’t anticipate this a becoming a trend. However, in order to prevent this from happening again, UAPD sent out a Campus Watch with safety tips for students using Uber, Lyft and other transportation services. These tips range from staying alert at all times to alerting a friend when you are expected to be back. Uber also has safety tips for its passengers. Kayla Whaling, an Uber spokeswoman, encouraged riders to use the Share my ETA button that is in the app. The button allows customers to share their estimated time of arrival at a location with someone they know. Whoever the user sends the ETA will receive a link and, from there, will be able to watch the car take the rider to their destination. “It’s a pretty cool feature where they can actually watch and make sure that you arrive safely,” Whaling said. One concern that might have contributed to the attack is the THE DAILY WILDCAT

you would any cab,” Eppley said. “[Drivers] should be providing information on who they are, as indicated in the Campus Watch.” Eppley said he hopes the tips provided by the Campus Watch help prevent people from getting in a situation similar to the recent incident. Eppley also said he encourages students to use the LiveSafe app, which allows students more ways to contact the police. Eppley said he believes that, in the case of the recent incident, the LiveSafe app might have been able to help. “We certainly would have been able to give them some options on what to do,” Eppley said. “It’s a matter of being aware of your own safety and thinking about personal safety.” — Follow Ava Garcia @ava_garcia_

involved with advocating for telemedicine at the state level. The council meets quarterly in the state capitol with leaders from health organizations to government officials. “Medicare has very strict rules on what is reimbursable, so if a visit doesn’t qualify as a face-to-face visit then the health care agency isn’t paid,” said Dr. Kimberly Shea, ATP’s assistant director of telenursing and an assistant professor in the College of Nursing. “Each state has different regulations as to what qualifies for telehealth reimbursement. This results in the need for lobbying at the state level for change,” she said. With new industries like telehealth, old regulations need to be re-evaluated. One obstacle ATP encountered as it first began expanding its network, was the lack of broadband infrastructure in Arizona, specifically in rural Arizona. In 2007, ATP was awarded part of a $15.56 million grant from the Federal Communications Commission and was able to upgrade and expand the broadband network in the American Southwest. Weinstein said new areas to watch telemedicine transform include mobile health, which takes place over smartphones, and retail telehealth. Mobile health is based on apps that can be downloaded onto a smartphone. “It’s now possible, for example, to put an inexpensive app and a small case hardware into a smartphone,” Weinstein said. “It can
actually do electrocardiograms on patients through smartphones, and patients’ lives have been saved.” ATP works with all of the telemedicine networks in the state, including the Mayo Clinic, which has shown that patient diagnosis over a smartphone is possible. “There are over 100,000 apps that have been developed for mobile health and the FDA is approving many of them,” Weinstein said. “As rapidly as they approve them, they are going into the marketplace.” As for retail telehealth, large pharmaceutical companies like CVS and Walgreens are looking to vend these health services in the near future. In a 2015 press release, UnitedHealthcare announced it would provide coverage for virtual care provider visits in 2016. ATP is also working to expand its telenursing interventions. Shea shared that ATP, the College of Nursing and Banner–Health University Medical Center are looking toward the possibility for a telenursing infrastructure that would serve Tucson and its surrounding regions. BannerHealth University Medical Center Phoenix currently provides telenursing services in the Phoenix area. She said it is a slow process because Banner’s partnership with the university is still fairly new, and the various regulations and criteria it is required to meet make it difficult to combine the programs. — Follow Michelle Jaquette @MichelleJaquet

COMMUNITY CHATTER “What do you think are the differences between the Millennial generation and other generations?”
“They don’t take life as seriously as we used to. We worked hard for everything we’ve got, our house and car. But with the other generation it seems like they just want everything handed to them, like they are entitled to it.” — Angela Wiseman, a Tucson mom and community member
“They weren’t raised to work as hard. People are always trying to find [a way] to make things go faster, like cheating on homework with the Internet. That’s how it’s expanded so much, now instead of looking for it yourself, you can go on Quizlet and find it that way.” — Michael Morris, a nutritional sciences sophomore
“Something I think is different is the technology that we have now, like computers and all that. We can do homework online and they would be more paper-based. Also, the way we grew up, it was stricter back then, and I feel like there is more liberty now.” — Janeth Sosa, a physiology junior
“ T e c h n o l o g y dependence—we rely so heavily on social media for all our social interactions. I remember my mom telling me that she never had computers when she was in college, and had to look things up in textbooks in the library, and I just Google in my dorm in my bed. I think that’s the main difference.” — Sonia Tomaso, a freshman studying molecular and cellular biology
“For one thing, they grew up with technology and we had to learn it. Basically, with technology in the palm of your hand, learning is now a whole lot easier. It’s just a lot different, like I had to memorize stuff, and now, you don’t really have to memorize stuff. You can say ‘Google or Siri, tell me about this’ and you got it.” — Milton Shook, a Tucson community member

“I think the older generations used less technology and had to work harder than us. Imagine when they were in college, they wouldn’t use Google or anything like that, and would actually have to do more research and read books.” — Ghazwan Reyad, a junior studying molecular and cellular biology
“The only major difference I can really see is the technology. There’s a lot more exposure to things like violence and just things in the past that weren’t part of our culture. It’s a whole different society now, we’re just technology savvy. I also think the values are really different now, too. I think it’s challenging for young people now.” – Irene Dinublia, a Tucson community member
“I just turned 75 and I’m well beyond millennials. Students were much more serious about learning, and I see people here just go into themselves and there’s a lack of engagement among college students.” — Henry Meyer, a Tucson community member

here are a few things that make me extremely nervous: having to make a left turn across several lanes of traffic, talking to a beautiful woman that I’m attracted to and being called on in French class. I love French class. The instructor is amazing, the students are a lovely bunch, but when I’m called on to answer a question or asked to speak more than one sentence in French, it’s disastrous. It left me wondering, why does anyone who doesn’t major in a particular foreign language have to take four semesters of it? I’m a double major in English and Religious Studies and I must take four semesters of a foreign language. I originally took French because I thought it would help me woo a woman. That’s a terrible idea, but like most things in life— music in particular— having an appeal to the female population is a strong motivator. My first French class last semester, I went in thinking I would be fluent at the end of French 101. I was given a rude awakening when I was told that it would take many courses and even years to be fluent in the said language. Usually, one has to live in a country
“
where very little to no English is spoken in order to become fluent. Then why would the university make anyone take a language that they’ll slowly but surely forget over time? Tuition costs thousands of dollars and though it’s fun learning it now, I’m going to be pretty frustrated in a few years when nearly all of the French language have left me, unless I live overseas or spend day and night speaking the language. I would much rather have spent the same tuition money on a course of something that I was interested in, or on a course that I know nothing about to see if there’s an interest in there that will help me decide what major I’d like to pursue. The only people who should have to take four semesters of a foreign language are those who plan on majoring in it or those who need language as an intensive portion of their major. Engineering students should also have a vested interest in learning a new language. A lot of engineers will potentially work in a foreign country or with coworkers who speak English as a second language and would vastly benefit from speaking another language. However, even that is a stretch, since they have to take 128 units, as opposed to the average student who has 120. “Students cannot take four semesters
[Non-majors] will either forget the language after graduating or never truly learn the language since they never lived overseas, and will have a huge bill from the UA when they’re all done.”

extensive. If students don’t think the minimum requirements are enough to justify developing language skills, then they should do more to make their time worthwhile. So many students place a huge weight on efficiency, marketability and employability. They should realize that having proficiency in a second language is one of the best ways to directly and indirectly develop these qualities. Language learning develops— in addition to obvious communication skills—listening, analytic and decisionmaking abilities. According to Auburn University, “Graduates often cite foreign language courses as some of the most

valuable courses in college.” College is the perfect time to study a language. If you’re already going to set aside four years of your life to live in an educational vacuum, you might as well do it right. You’re already paying for four years of tuition, and that money might as well go toward developing skillsets that are undeniably valuable. If you want to be sharper, more cultured and more employable, study a foreign language. If you don’t, that’s fine. Just complete the graduation requirement by studying a language anyway and complain about it the whole time. Or not.

Texas no hero to LGBTQ community by Jacob Winkelman The Daily Wildcat
V
oters of Houston, Texas, gave LGBTQ+ people a major setback on Nov. 3. By a 61 to 39 percent margin, Houston voters overwhelmingly voted down the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, or HERO, which offered employment, housing, medical care and other types of protection to all people regardless of many factors, some of which include sexual orientation, gender identity and gender information. After the Supreme Court legalized marriage equality in June, the repeal of the Houston ordinance represents some of the backlash from certain religious and conservative groups. Many of these nondiscrimination acts, “religious freedom disputes” and wedding venue controversies are the latest high-profile disagreements pertaining to LGBTQ+ rights. Some members of the media have started to push a narrative implying that liberals pushed too hard too fast and will start to see repercussions over LGBTQ+ rights in a similar trajectory as abortion and female health care issues since Roe v. Wade. One vote in Houston, however, seems like an inaccurate barometer of the country’s opinion on this type of issue, in addition to many other pieces of evidence that suggest conservatives are unlikely to continue to
see success in denying rights to LGBTQ+ individuals. First, the results and campaign strategies of the Houston proposition need to be further analyzed. Democrats and democratic issues across the board do worse in elections that do not take place in presidential years. As PBS notes, 30 percent fewer people tend to vote in midterms and the majority of this drop-off comes from women, young people, African-Americans and Latinos—all groups that are more likely to vote for Democrats. Even with a more conservative electorate, the nondiscrimination ordinance fared extremely poorly in this election because opponents made this complex and multi-faceted law about a single issue: transgender people using the bathroom. Dubbed “the bathroom ordinance,” opponents perpetuated inaccurate and harmful rhetoric convincing many voters in Houston that if this law passed, any man could use the female restroom claiming to be transgender and then sexually assault and rape women. This type of rhetoric is nothing new to the LGBTQ+ community. It wasn’t too long ago that opponents of “gay rights” would perpetuate the myth that homosexuals were more likely to be pedophiles and dangerous for children, thereby permitting society to treat them as lesser. Maintaining the flagrantly false lie of transgender women or pretend-transgender women, raping people in the bathroom is just the same bigoted propaganda in a new form. Houston already has a law prohibiting
The Daily Wildcat
people of the opposite sex using the wrong bathroom, and this ordinance wouldn’t have changed that. Perhaps the scariest part of all this is that other campaigns will use Houston tactics to defeat similar measures. “No men in the women’s restroom” became the only issue on this ballot, and it worked. After the results of the election, Houston Mayor Annise D. Parker, who is out as a lesbian, had this to say: “This was a campaign of fear mongering and deliberate lies. … [This] was a calculated campaign of lies designed to demonize a little-understood minority.” Despite the bad day for the LGBTQ+, and specifically the transgender community, there are many signs pointing to America’s growing acceptance of LGBTQ+ people. According to recent Gallup polls, 68 percent of Americans believe consenting relationships between gay and lesbians should be allowed and 58 percent believe in marriage equality. In regards to transgender issues specifically, a majority of Americans consider someone who is transgender to be morally acceptable, according to YouGov, and an even larger majority of Millennials don’t believe in the traditional gender binary of only men and women.
“
All of these polls see a wider range of support for LGBTQ+ rights from younger generations than older ones. Millennials are far more open-minded than their parents’ and grandparents’ generations about LGBTQ+ issues, which is not a trend likely to regress. Although marriage equality is settled in the U.S., the HERO in Houston demonstrates how much progress still needs to be made, especially concerning transgender rights. As people continue to meet more LGBTQ+ people, see accurate depictions of the transgender community in the media and learn more information about these identities, progress will happen. The LGBTQ+ community and their allies must be vigilant and smart about their tactics and work hard to ensure that defeats like this don’t happen anymore.
Although marriage equality is settled in the United States, the HERO in Houston demonstrates how much progress still needs to be made.”

Being honored before the game and walking out of the tunnel with family is a bittersweet milestone for any player. Saturday’s final home matchup of the season against No. 10 Utah will have an electric atmosphere similar to the UCLA game earlier this season, but this time, it’s with a chance to become bowl-eligible. For Arizona senior safety Will Parks, Senior Day has always been marked on the calendar. Saturday’s game will also be the first time that both Parks’ parents will be together in the stands cheering for him. Monday’s press conference should’ve been supplied with tissues, because just talking about the occasion made Parks choke up. “First of all, to go out there and get Utah, a top 10 team, on senior night, with my mom and dad coming to town [means] a whole lot to me,” Parks said. “I am going to go out there and do what I have to do, knowing that [my parents] are up there at the same time.” Parks was just like any other recruit from Philadelphia: He was either going to the University of Pittsburgh, Penn State or Temple University, in

order to play in front of his family every weekend. Parks said he was originally committed to Pittsburgh and made the transition to the UA because of one person. Some would jump to conclusion and assume head coach Rich Rodriguez was the deciding factor, but someone else in the Arizona football program turned out to be it for Parks. On-campus recruiting coordinator Matt Dudek will always have a special place in his heart. “I’ve known Dudek for a long time and I feel
like he’s had my back since day one, since he was recruiting me at Pitt and then coming here,” Parks said. “Every time I talk to my dad, he asks, ‘How’s my man Dudek doing?’ And I tell Dudek who always says, ‘Man, tell Big Willy I said, “Hello. Come out here soon, man.”’ It’s the same thing every time. I feel like he is family.” The defense’s focus turned to Parks this season after he had a productive year in 2014 and Scooby Wright III went down early this year. Despite Arizona’s defense struggling to stay healthy and
to keep other teams from scoring, Parks said he wouldn’t trade the experience of being a Wildcat for anything. Rodriguez has his heated moments on the sideline whenever the defense folds, but only out of respect. The head coach has always been a personal mentor to these players, according to Parks. “When you’re getting coached at and he’s getting mad, you kind of get scared,” Parks said. “But there are a lot of things he’s done for us that I don’t think anyone else would have. What he did for us is bigger than just a football moment. He helped us achieve our goals by teaching us to play hard, whether or not you win or lose.” Parks has played in a bowl game every season he’s been with the program. There might not be another player who wants to come out on top against Utah more than “Philly Willy” does. The safety will put on the Arizona red and blue for the 51st time Saturday night. Parks has racked up 180 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss and four interceptions in his four seasons with the Wildcats. Regardless of what the scoreboard shows when the final whistle blows, Parks will end his Arizona career with no regrets. “[This team has] had my back, just like I have had theirs, for the past four years,” Parks said. “I wouldn’t change any of these people for anything. It is going to be emotional. With all the questions I’ve been getting, I’ve been realizing it more and more.” — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports
Arizona set to tip off newest campaign BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat
Arizona men’s basketball tips off its season Friday night against Pacific in a matchup that should offer Sean Miller a test drive of his new batch of players. Yes, the No. 12 Wildcats have plenty of familiar faces, but the Arizona head coach expects inexperience to shine through in the team’s first couple of games. Four of Arizona’s five starters are gone from last year’s team that went 34-4 and reached the Elite Eight for the second consecutive season. In steps a host of newcomers— freshmen and transfers—who will all be out to prove themselves in the season opener. “We still have a lot to work out,”
Miller said Wednesday. “We could have a lot of different types of lineups to work out in the month of November.” Seniors Gabe York, Kaleb Tarczewski and Ryan Anderson all seem to be sure locks. But outside of that trio, expect a lot of roster movement in the next couple weeks. Anderson, a transfer from Boston College, has made the biggest impression on Miller thus far and is a good pick to be the Wildcats’ leading scorer, at least early on in the year. The 6-foot-9- senior forward scored a team-high 19 points in Arizona’s 90-54 exhibition victory over Chico State last weekend. Anderson recorded a double-double by grabbing 10 rebounds as well. “He’s been very impressive every day,” Miller said. “That’s when you
really believe in somebody is when you see it every single day. I have no doubt that if [Anderson] remains healthy, he’s going to have a great year for us, and I believe he has the chance to be one of the best players at his position.” Another transfer, forward Mark Tollefsen, is another good bet to start Friday night, given that he earned a starting role in the exhibition. A fifthyear senior out of the University of San Francisco, Tollefsen comes to Arizona with a 6-foot-9 frame that should instantly provide size down low. Between Anderson and Tollefsen, as well as returning centers Tarczewski and Dusan Ristic, Arizona could find a decisive advantage in the paint against a rather small Pacific team.
The Tigers, who play in the West Coast Conference, will instead rely heavily on a pair of junior guards: T.J. Wallace and David Taylor. Wallace, a 6-foot-9 point guard, led Pacific in scoring last season with 13 points per game. He was also one of the team’s leading rebounders and assist-men. “[Wallace] is big and strong,” Miller said. “He certainly is capable of being someone who can score 15 or 16 points a game this year.” While Pacific’s backcourt should give the Tigers some hope, the team will be without three players due to a lingering NCAA investigation. According to a report earlier this week by ESPN’s Jeff Goodman, Pacific’s Eric Thompson, Alec Kobre and Sami Eleraky are being withheld until cleared by the NCAA. The
investigation surrounds academic misconduct within the program. Miller, however, stressed that at this time of the year, the opponent, or even the anatomy of the opponent, subsides to his own team’s makeup. “A season opener, most of the time, is about you,” Miller said. “How ready are we? Because neither team can control the scouting element or the familiarity as much as we would like, because we don’t have a lot on each other. It’s more about how we do the things we’re supposed to do.” The game will tip off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in McKale Center. Catch the live broadcast on Pac-12 Arizona.

Senior spotlight: Arizona football Take a look back at the careers of three Arizona seniors before watching them take Arizona Stadium one final time in search of a fourth straight bowl bid Jared Baker (23), running back The 5-foot-8-inch Los Angeles native has spent the last four seasons on special teams as a return man and as one of Arizona’s go-to backup running backs. Baker has accumulated 933 yards on 175 attempts, good for 5.3 yards per carry, as the backup to some of the Pac-12’s premier rushers. He has scored nine times with a long run of 79 yards. Baker has also averaged 21 yards per return with special teams. The senior served as a backup during his freshman and sophomore seasons to one of the Pac-12’s all-time greats, Ka’Deem Carey, before backing up leading rushing Nick Wilson for the past two seasons. Baker has thrived in Wilson’s absence this year and has rushed for 622 yards with six touchdowns. Baker was Pac-12 All-Academic First Team in 2012 and Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team in 2013 and 2014.

Drew Riggleman (39), punter Riggleman has defied odds for the last three years to become an Arizona fan favorite. The Tucson native attended Sahuaro High School and was named AllSouthern Arizona First Team in 2011 before redshirting his true freshman year as a Wildcat. Riggleman served as a backup his freshman season before attempting 210 punts with an average of 43 yards per punt over his next three seasons. He has 50 punts of over 50 yards, including a career-long of 71 yards, and 54 punts inside the 20-yard line. Riggleman has wracked up 1,731 yards of punts during his senior campaign and was named a candidate for the 2015 Ray Guy Award, which honors the nation’s top collegiate punter. The prolific Wildcat was named Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention in 2013 and SI.com Honorable Mention All-American and All-Pac-12 Second Team in 2014.
season in their collegiate careers, a feat that is difficult to accomplish playing in a league as competitive as the Pac-12 Conference. The Daily Wildcat puts a spotlight on three seniors who have spent all four years at Arizona. Don’t miss them in action for what might be the final time at Arizona Stadium on Saturday at 8 p.m.
Cayman Bundage (61), offensive line The 6-foot-2-inch, 281-pound offensive lineman hails from Oklahoma City. Bundage has seen significant playing time since arriving at Arizona and has played a pivotal piece in the Wildcats’ offensive success over the past four seasons. Bundage was Arizona’s only true freshman starter on offense in 2012 and played in 11 games for an offensive line that helped Arizona climb as high as No. 4 nationally in total offense. He started 13 games at left guard his sophomore season and led the way for the Pac-12’s leading rusher, Ka’Deem Carey, who followed a historic 1,929yard campaign with 1,885 yards and 19 touchdowns. Bundage has blocked for the likes of Carey, Nick Wilson, Anu Solomon, B.J. Denker and Matt Scott throughout his tenure as a Wildcat. He assisted Wilson and Solomon in setting program freshman records in rushing and passing yards, respectively, last season. — Follow Dominic Baciocco @DominicBaciocco

Arizona smells upset in search of bowl BY Kyle Hansen
The Daily Wildcat
Up against the best Arizona fans have been given a little bit of hope following the Wildcats’ 38-30 loss at USC last weekend. In a game where they were supposed to be blown out by the Trojans, the Wildcats showed they still have some fight left despite the difficult season. Up next is No. 10 Utah, which is currently sitting in first place in the Pac-12 South. The Utes (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12 Conference) were tabbed as an early season dark horse in one of college football’s most competitive divisions. The Utes have exceeded that expectation, upsetting teams like Oregon and Michigan. Their only loss came on a 42-24 beatdown from the Trojans in Los Angeles. “I thought [Utah] would be pretty good because of the number of guys they had coming back,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “They have an experienced quarterback. He’s played a whole bunch in his career and has gotten a lot of experience, and [they have] one of the best running backs in the

league in [Devontae] Booker.” The Utes have been led by Booker, quarterback Travis Wilson and a defense that ranks third in the Pac-12 in points allowed per game with 21.6. Utah also has the best-run defense in the conference, allowing only 114.3 yards per game.
“I think it always helps if you bring a lot of experience back and they stay healthy,” Rodriguez said. “Experienced players have the tendency not to panic when things go really bad. That’s the biggest thing about experienced players is they adapt quicker.”
To put the Utes’ defense into perspective, Oregon scores 42.2 points per game and averages 543.3 yards per game. The Utes went into Eugene, Oregon, and blew the Ducks out, 62-20. They only allowed Oregon to gain 400 total yards while also forcing three turnovers. Booker is currently third in the conference with 124 yards per game on the ground. He has scored 10 times this season with his best game of the year coming against California on a 34-rush, 222-yard and two-touchdown performance. ‘Cats prepared for senior night Arizona had a revival game of sorts against USC. After losing a close game to Washington State, then suffering a blow out at Washington, the Wildcats needed something to go their way. Rodriguez and company, at this point, are playing for bowl eligibility. A win over Utah in the Wildcats’ last home game of the season would officially make them bowl-eligible, and it would be a huge way for the seniors to go out. “They’re a good group of guys,” Rodriguez said. “The leadership is there. It’s kind of a quiet leadership,
but that’s what their personality is and I wouldn’t want them to change who they are.” Some notable seniors on the team include safeties Will Parks, Jamar Allah and Anthony Lopez, receivers Johnny Jackson and David Richards, quarterback Jerrard Randall, running back Jared Baker, offensive linemen Cayman Bundage and Lene Maiava, punter Drew Riggleman and kicker Casey Skowron. “They’ve done a good job all four years,” Rodriguez said. “A lot of these guys have been through a coaching transition. A lot of them have changed positions, and they’ve been pretty consistent in their approach and been really good examples for the young guys on how to lead themselves and how to be an Arizona student-athlete. So I’m really proud of them.” Arizona will kickoff against Utah at 8 p.m. Saturday at Arizona Stadium. The game will be televised on Fox Sports 1. — Follow Kyle Hansen @K_Hansen42
Arizona soccer ready for historic night BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat
It’s now win or go home for Arizona women’s soccer as the Wildcats start postseason play Friday night. The Wildcats will host an NCAA Tournament game for the first time in program history as they take on Northern Colorado. “We feel like we’ve done a really good job to get to this point,” Arizona head coach Tony Amato said. “But it’s a new season now, and we’re excited to host a game and find a way to march on in the [NCAA] Tournament.” Arizona (12-5-2, 6-4-1 Pac-12 Conference) isn’t exactly entering the NCAA Tournament on a high note, however. The Wildcats are coming off of a 4-1 blowout loss at home against rival ASU. It was an embarrassing performance on senior night, but Amato said the team has worked on a lot of things since that game and has put it in the rearview mirror. Amato said his team has worked on “everything from that game,” and he knows how much his team has to overcome in order to advance in the tournament. “If you look at the whole season and the lessons we learned, the positives, the negatives, [we] have been working on some things this week based on our attacking and defending principles overall, what we’ve done all year,” Amato said. Northern Colorado (13-7-2, 8-2-1 Big Sky Conference), unlike the Wildcats, comes into the postseason on a hot streak. The Bears have won their past three games and the Big Sky Conference Championship title. This will be their first NCAA Tournament appearance. “They have some really good players,” Amato said of the

Wildcats’ opponent. “Their attacking center-mid is really good, … their outside backs get forward, so they’ll cause some problems, and [Adrienne Jordan] is a very good player at left back.” Northern Colorado’s forwards have led the Bears to be one of the better offensive teams in the Big Sky. The Bears averaged a little over one goal per game and have taken a staggering 103 corner kicks this season. While the Bears use corner kicks well to help initiate their offense, the Wildcats don’t think they’re so good at defending
them. “We’re going to focus a lot on set pieces,” Arizona senior Kaitlyn Lopez said. “I think we’re really going to try to expose them in that aspect and take it to them as much as we can, being a Pac-12 school.” Arizona will also regain some of the firepower it lost late in the season. Forward Charlotte Brascia returned to practice this week and will play against Northern Colorado. Brascia missed the last three games with a head injury and should help the Wildcats push the pace of the game in their favor. The Wildcats could be getting their leading scorer, Gabi Stoian, back, too. Stoian, who has scored six goals this season, also missed the last three games with a quad injury. Unlike Brascia, Stoian hasn’t fully returned to practice. “[Stoian] is doing a lot of stuff off the field right now and she was in cleats today and did some running,” Amato said after Wednesday’s practice. “We’re just trying to be really cautious, but at this point, if we lose, it’s over. So, we’re doing a lot of things to get her ready for Friday.” Amato said Stoian will be a game-time decision and would likely be limited if she does play. With or without Stoian, the Wildcats will have to find a way to win to keep their season alive. Kickoff is Friday at 6 p.m. at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium.

Mau and Snuka lead ‘Cats to victory BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat
In what was a match that would come down to the very wire, No. 19 Arizona volleyball escaped Salt Lake City with a fiveset victory over Utah (25-21, 25-14, 19-25, 27-29, 15-13). The Wildcats had an opportunity to sweep Utah as they won the first two sets, but the Utes fought back with a third-set victory to avoid a sweep. Utah won a hard-fought fourth set to force the deciding final set of the match. The Utes kept the Wildcats on their heels by leading the fifth set 4-1. After trading mini runs, Arizona took control with a 7-0 run leading to a match point opportunity at 14-10. Utah would score three more before Arizona finished the game for good, winning 15-13. Balance was key for the Wildcats as Kalei Mau led the way with 16 kills. Penina Snuka had a double-double for the fifth straight game to give her 19 of the season, leading the Pac-12 conference. Snuka was once again the catalyst for the
“
offense. Laura Larson had a career-high 21 digs, which marks her 10th straight game recording double digits. Meanwhile Halli Amaro finished the match one block shy of 400 career blocks. With this victory, the Wildcats are now tied for sixth in the Pac-12 Conference with a league record of 7-8. The Utes fall to 9-17 overall with the loss and are currently in last place in the Pac-12. Arizona will be back in action Saturday as the Wildcats take on the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder, Colorado, at 7 p.m. Colorado will stream the match live. Arizona faces No. 2 USC on Nov. 20 and No. 9 UCLA comes to town Nov. 22. The Wildcats then travel to Corvallis, Oregon, to take on Oregon State before ending their season at home against rival ASU on Nov. 27.
