@DAILYWILDCAT

The race for the oval office is quickly coming to a close, and with Arizona recently emerging as a battleground state, the message for Arizona’s voters is clear: Get out and vote.

Arizona allows for both inperson early voting and voting by mail. UA students registered to vote in Arizona have multiple options to cast their ballots.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona office, on the third floor of the Student Union Memorial Center, acts as an early voting location weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Nov. 4.

Students with a voter registration card and a student ID or another combination of acceptable voter identification, can receive and cast a ballot on campus.

UA students who requested a mail-in ballot before Oct. 28 can cast their votes by mail. Ballots should be mailed three to five days before Nov. 8 because they must be received by 7 p.m. the night of the election. Students with mail-in ballots can deposit them in the mailboxes around campus or the UPS location in the SUMC’s lower level.

Mail-in ballots legally require the individual whose name appears on the ballot to complete them. For the first time, this year’s election laws require all mail-in ballots turned

NEWS Five steps to free yourself from flu season Wednesday — Thursday Nov. 2 — Nov. 3 Page 2

Editor: Nick Meyers news@dailywildcat.com (520) 621-7579

BY ALEX GONZALES @AlxandrGonzalez

Some say living in the dorms is part of the complete college experience, but does that need to include getting sick?

For many, moving into dormitories marks a milestone, symbolizing independence and adulthood. Julia Valgento, a pre-business freshman, said she’s had a great experience living in the honors hall Árbol de la Vida.

“Everyone on my floor is really nice and respectful of one another,” Valgento said.

“Things like gross bathrooms aren’t really an issue because people are respectful, but I do know other people who have that issue in other dorms.”

Valgento got sick her second day of college, however, and said she believes living in the dorms played a major part to her feeling ill.

“Once I got sick from someone in my hall, then everyone else started to get sick,” she said.

Here are five ways students can combat everything from the common cold to the flu this coming season:

1

Be proactive Stilson said students will come in having a variety of symptoms such as coughing, sore throat and the occasional stomach flu, but he sees a lot of patients with upper respiratory infections.

Stilson said Campus Health always recommends students get flu shots administered by Campus Health personnel currently running clinics on the UA Mall.

Just do it Staying active and getting your regular dose of exercise can also reduce the chances of contracting a sickness—something Stilson encourages and hopes students practice.

Following these five tips can not only help you stay healthy, but others as well. Be proactive this season and fight those ailments that will otherwise bring you down.

2

Reduce exposure Dr. Michael Stilson, director of medical services at Campus Health and Wellness, said dorms facilitate the spread of upper-respiratory infections due to the close proximity of students.

Stilson’s first piece of advice is to limit long periods of exposure to sick people.

He couldn’t confidently confirm that dorm students seek medical attention from Campus Health more often than students living off campus, but Stilson did mention students living on campus are more susceptible, given the living conditions.

Wash out and be courteous “Definitely drink lots of water and take vitamin-C,” said Avery Howard, a pre-nursing freshman living in the Coronado residence hall.

Howard said washing your hands and occasionally cleaning your room are both very important. She mentioned that if someone around you is sick, they should warn others as a common courtesy.

Being healthy is a full-time job Stilson mentioned students should take care of themselves year round to avoid getting sick because there are always viruses and infections spreading around. People can consume nutritional foods that build up the immune system, stay hydrated—sick or not—and get seven-and-a-half to eight hours of sleep per night to help remain healthy.

Sleep not only affects physical health, but psychological health as well.

Arizonans at risk for valley fever

BY ANGELA MARTINEZ @anmartinez2120

The UA Valley Fever Center for Excellence will host an awareness week providing education for the common illness for which Arizonans are at the highest risk.

Valley fever is a disease caused by inhaling airborne spores of the fungus coccidiodes, which resides in native soil. The spores are distributed by the wind from construction, farming and other activities.

Infection begins when a spore is inhaled—it enters the lungs and becomes a larger multicellular structure called a spherule. The spherule grows and bursts, releasing endospores, which develop into more spherules, furthering the infection.

ASUA to hold special election ASUA will hold special elections on Thursday, Nov. 3 to fill an at-large senate position and elect the College of Public Health Senator

BY ELIZABETH O’CONNELLL @_eoconnell

The ASUA Elections Commission announced a special election to be held this Thursday to fill two vacant seats in the senate.

Six candidates are competing for one atlarge positon and one candidate is applying for the College of Public Health position.

The following students are running for the at-large position:

• • • • • •

Miguel Pacheco Kalie Pawlik Stefano Saltalamacchia Amos Sepkowitz Jordan Strang Aaron Varela

Katelyn Hilde is on the ballot for the College of Public Health senator.

Chloe Durand, a political science and global studies sophomore, serves as the elections commissioner. Durand oversees the election and said she makes sure it’s a smooth process and transparent for the candidates.

“It’s our responsibility to fill those seats as the elections commission,” Durand said. “We’re holding a special election to fill those vacancies, give representation and make sure the senate structure is functioning the way it’s supposed to.”

The candidates met with the elections committee to go over the procedures of the election and what to expect during the election.

Polls will be opened this Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Students can vote online at www.elections.asua.arizona.edu.

Durand said there will also be a polling station across from the Scoop in the Student Union Memorial Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Results will be posted on the ASUA website and social media accounts Friday.

VOTING

into early voting stations or polling places must be done so by the individual whose name appears on the ballot.

The First United Methodist Church’s Arizona Room, located at 915 E. Fourth St. or across the street from Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall and the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage, will serve as campus’s closest polling station.

Students with valid identification can cast their ballots on site Nov. 8 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

When voting, students must bring their Arizona driver’s license or passport. If a student does not possess either of these, they may bring their UA student identification along with their voter registration card. A full list of acceptable combinations of identification documents can be found on the Pima County Recorder’s website.

For out-of-state students, mailin absentee ballots from the student’s home state constitute the easiest way to cast a ballot. If out-of-state students registered to vote in Arizona using a federal voter registration form, they can opt to participate in early voting on campus or at the Arizona polls Nov. 8.

These students remain subject to Arizona’s voter identification requirement and only their votes for federal offices will be counted.

Some states still allow for mail-in ballot requests.

For those voters tired of Donald Trump of Hillary Clinton, there’s the opportunity to vote third party.

Jo Holt, Chair of the Pima County Democratic Party, said students can visit the Pima County Democrats website to find a list of down ballot candidates and their websites.

Bill Beard, Chair of the Pima County Republican Party, said students who visit the Pima

ONE OF THE SIGNS placed at the Student Union Memorial Center guiding students and others to a voting station in the ASUA office. Early voting stations are available on campus but close on Nov. 4.

County GOP website will also be able to research candidates from a list of down ballot races.

UA students can also vote to retain Arizona judges.

The Commission on Judicial Performance Review “collects input from everyone who has contact with a judge including litigants, witnesses, jurors and

lawyers.” The review then compiles this data to determine if a judge can apply the law fairly, manage a courtroom and treat individuals with respect.

The 32-member commission, appointed by the Arizona Supreme Court, consists of members of the public, judges and lawyers. Each member determines if a judge

meets the commission’s standards and the results of these votes are released to the public online.

UA students will be voting on corporation commissioners, who are responsible for overseeing Arizona’s power companies and decide rules concerning how much they charge energy users, which is particularly important for

residential solar power.

Voters will also decide two propositions, one on recreational marijuana legalization and one to increase the state’s minimum wage to $12 by 2020.

Obama said it at the Democratic Convention and Trump said it here in Phoenix last Saturday: “Don’t boo, vote.”

POLICE BEAT

BY MEGAN JACOBY @DailyWildcat

Not so peaceful A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call from the Main Library in regards to an unwanted person being disruptive to staff and students on Oct. 26.

Upon arrival, the officer was told that a female student had been causing problems for them since August.

The student would harass and offend people in the library, and when she was asked to leave, the student became defensive, calling the staff member a “nazi.”

The student left the building but returned three times before leaving for a final time. The situation had gotten to the point that the staff was afraid to have the student in the library.

On the morning of Oct. 26, a staff member opened the library but forgot to take the closed sign down.

The female student came up to her and asked her if the library was closed, to which the staff member replied that they were not.

“Then why is the closed sign up? You need to take it down,” the student responded.

These confrontations with the student have caused staff members to feel very uncomfortable when they see her in the library, making them feel like they need to work around her.

Upon further investigation, the UAPD officer discovered that the student had an exclusionary order with them in 2013.

A new one was completed for the female student and will be issued upon her next contact with UAPD. Too much too fast Two UAPD officers responded to the Main Library in reference to an intoxicated subject yelling and being disorderly on Oct. 24.

The individual was described as a 60-yearold white male and had been last seen in the courtyard of the Integrated Learning Center.

With a quick sweep of the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center, the officers were unable to locate the individual and returned to the reporting party.

The woman who reported the situation stated that the individual appeared intoxicated and was yelling, which disturbed other patrons. When the woman asked him to stop yelling, he took his headphones off and threw them at her but missed.

Later that night, UAPD officers received a call about a man matching the individual’s description in the area of Fourth Street and Park Avenue.

The officer found the subject, who was yelling incoherently. The yelling did not appear to be directed at anyone specific.

When confronted, the man complied with all of the officer’s orders but would switch from calm to yelling in a matter of seconds.

The subject had three warrants against him and was put under arrest. The individual was also given an exclusionary order from the UA Main Library, to which he complied.

OPINIONS The continuing folly of the Clinton email drama

Wednesday — Thursday Nov. 2 — Nov. 3 Page 7

BY RAAD ZAGHLOUL @RaadZaghloul

I

t was true 384 days ago when Sen. Bernie Sanders bellowed, “The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails,” at Secretary Hillary Clinton from a Democratic debate stage, and it’s true now.

No one seems to have informed FBI director James Comey, though. The g-man has always marched to the beat of his own drum, continually finding himself under attack from both the left and the right, usually alternately, but sometimes simultaneously.

In an episode often repeated as a testament to his fine character, Comey, to his infinite credit, did successfully stare down the Bush administration.

In 2004, he was the acting attorney general while his boss, John Ashcroft, was in the hospital.

He had opposed the extension of a Bush-favored domestic wiretapping program; the White House responded by sending two men to Ashcroft’s hospital room to get approval from him.

Comey had to race to the George Washington University hospital to confront them, at which point Ashcroft indicated— accurately, mind you— that Comey was the proper authority on the matter.

This has almost singlehandedly earned the FBI director a reputation for moral rectitude.

Nonetheless, he was attacked on both sides when, this July, he announced the end of a probe into Clinton’s private email server, while also going out of his way to note her “careless behavior.”

Editor: Scott Felix opinion@dailywildcat.com (520) 621-7579

This last comment was seen information as humanly possible. as an unnecessary piece of Fortunately for Comey, editorializing, and has fueled an congressional Republicans live in endless vortex of speculation and a void of actual information. So moral indignation on right-wing it was little surprise when Utah news outlets.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the Oversight and Government Now, in an act that has been Reform Committee, described as leaped into the everything from Republicans, fray, tweeting: “case a technical formality to elected and reopened.”

Of course, it’s not a partisan otherwise, have really true. attack, Comey used Clinton Here’s the wrote a letter to Congress scandals, real and problem: It matter. on Friday imagined, to rally doesn’t Republicans, indicating that their bases against elected and emails relevant to the Clinton the greater evil that otherwise, have investigation is the former senator used Clinton real and had been found and self-described scandals, imagined, to rally which needed pantsuit enthusiast.” their bases against to be brought the greater evil to light to that is the former “supplement senator and selfthe record.” described pantsuit enthusiast.

The letter itself is vague doing righteous battle against and appears to be written with Secretary Clinton. the intention of conveying as little So, whatever happens now— likely nothing—Comey has provided a gigantic boost to the Trump

“

campaign. Despite the fact that the Clinton campaign has urged the FBI to release more detailed information, the right is finally back on the offensive, at last provided with a distraction from the increasingly visible moral turpitude of its candidate.

And Comey had to have known this. Even if this was not a politically motivated attack, this letter has basically had the same effect.

So either, A.) the director of the FBI is openly assisting a presidential campaign 11 days from election day or B.) one of the nation’s top lawmen managed to put on blinders so big he couldn’t see the vile partisan reaction his letter would inspire.

In any case, he doesn’t come out looking good.

There is another issue with the email scandal: This election was an “emotions” contest; at this point the American public has basically given up pretending that it cares about issues and policy.

In this race of feelings, many right-leaning voters and officials have bent over backwards to paint Clinton as being on a lower moral plane than Donald Trump.

Hercules himself would have struggled with this task, and so in defense of the

sexual assault, lying, cheating and general rapacious manner of the Republican candidate, the right has come singing a shrill tune about, among other things, “the emails.”

There are reasons to vote for Donald Trump. If the unequivocal pro-choice stance of the former secretary of state bothers you, it makes sense to vote Republican. If the prospect of Supreme Court judges named by a Democrat scares you, it makes sense to vote Republican.

But it makes no sense to vote Republican because of issues of trustworthiness related to Clinton’s emails. This was a lapse of judgement by a woman who has spent decades in the public eye, by a woman who has earned the admiration of her peers in some of the highest political offices in this country.

By evaluating her trustworthiness through the lens of this non-issue, you are opening up the Republican candidate to the same kind of “feelings evaluation.” It is true Mr. Trump has never held office, but in whatever arena he has occupied, he has shown the moral rectitude of a Frisbee.

Though this columnist would strongly discourage it, vote Republican if you must. There are reasons to mistrust Hillary Clinton, and there are reasons not to vote for her, but this is not one of them.

This is the craven rallying cry for the kinds of voters who shout “lock her up” at political rallies.

The kinds of people, elected and otherwise, who harp extensively on the emails issue already oppose Clinton; they just need an easily explained exhibit of un-trustworthiness.

Oppose her for better reasons.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The rewards of learning foreign language

BY JESSE ARCHBOLD @DailyWildcat

D

aily Wildcat columnist Rhiannon Bauer is right; learning a second or third language is no easy prospect. As a subject, language occupies a unique zone that does introduce students to hard and fast rules and then sometimes seems to set those rules completely aside. This can lead to frustrating feelings with no readily apparent solutions in sight.

I would like to share a few of my own experiences as a graduate student, a recent graduate of the UA’s German studies program and a current graduate assistant teacher. I want to shed light on some of the rewards that can come of those frustrations as someone who has been on both sides of the second language classroom at the UA and someone who is learning a third language in a nonclassroom setting.

Foreign language learning is not an easy task because languages were not developed or codified to be learned. Teaching language is also a difficult pedagogical act because languages

are fluid—they evolve and grow in their own directions and ways.

Consider the massive adaptations that many French language curricula will be making after the recent French spelling reform and the similar changes German instructors made after the language reform of 1996. As massive as those changes were, they had the benefit of being nationally recognized by the nations which use them. Other changes are quite subtle and take place over time and through generations.

The nature of second language acquisition makes it a difficult thing to teach and we, as second language instructors and academics, are constantly fine-tuning our craft throughout our careers. We, as academics, are increasingly interested in these frustrating parts of second language learning and are constantly examining our own methods. The communicative methods that dominate second language classrooms now are not perfect, and in our German department, we do augment it with recent research by introducing activities meant to increase cultural competence and help with inductive acquisition of new words. These methods and approaches are products of decades of work and study by an international body of scholars; they are by no means that body’s final product.

Some students may have reservations about taking courses that are instructed by graduate

students, but they are fresh-minded and highly motivated individuals who were likely actually taught in the methods that they themselves are now teaching in. The stark memories of sitting in a classroom watching words fly over my head that I felt I may never understand are fresh in my mind, especially considering how lost I feel when I try to practice Spanish with friends and colleagues who speak it. This seems to be a benefit to the students themselves as their instructor has more recently been in their shoes and, having put a great deal of time and effort into the language, understands more freshly what those hurdles look like.

Second language instructing graduate students are also not on their own in their instruction.

Their performance is supported by their peers and their supervisors, who themselves are scholars and experts in the field of language learning and teaching. While some instructors may have different knowledge and expertise than others or may just have a style and disposition that is better for certain students and not a great fit for others, this is just the nature of the beast, regardless of the title of the person teaching the course.

I would encourage students who are experiencing these frustrations to look into applied linguistics and second language

acquisition and teaching for themselves as interesting fields for their future studies. If you are concerned with the nature and frustrations of second language acquisition, then know that there is an international community of scholars who are working their entire careers to find ways in which to teach foreign language as effectively as possible. The job is insurmountable and we may never get there, but we need critical minds willing to ask tough questions!

I personally decided to go this route when I finished the German studies major here at the UA. I was amazed at the growth I saw in myself as a language learner. I felt that it was a mission of mine to make that feeling available to others.

I was approached by professors in the German department here who said they thought I would be a good fit for the job.

Frustrations are part of learning a second language. Most people learn their first language when they are children, and the types of mistakes I made as a second language learner cut deep because they come right from feelings of misunderstanding from my own childhood.

The feeling I have now, knowing that those frustrations have been bested and put to rest, is unparalleled. My advice to anyone struggling with frustrations in second language learning now is simply to embrace them. Nothing worth doing is ever easy.

Understanding Día de Los Muertos traditions Mexican-born UA graduate student Mariana Manriquez talks about the holiday's traditions, Calaveras and when cultural appreciation becomes appropriation

BY SEAN ORTH @seanaustinorth

For those that have had the benefit of growing up in a homogenous culture their entire lives, celebrating the same holidays and traditions every year tends to be a given. For UA graduate student Mariana Manriquez, though, the farther away she traveled from home, the more her traditions began to disappear.

Manriquez, who studies sociology, was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, but moved around various cities throughout the country before relocating to Nogales, Arizona, for high school. She moved to Tucson to attend the UA. Manriquez has vivid memories of Día de los Muertos celebrations in Mexico— traditions that were ubiquitous in her home country and fostered a similar sense of community, no matter what city her family lived in.

“In Mexico, ever since I was a kid for Día de los Muertos, in my house my mom used to do an altar,” Manriquez said. “You do an altar for the people in your family that have died. So my mom always made one to her mom because she died when she was very young.”

Creating an altar for lost loved ones is a significant part of the holiday which pays respect to the individual who has passed with various elements.

“You put things that the person used to like, and other symbolic things like food because it symbolizes that they’re gonna need food when they’re in their past,” Manriquez said. “Or salt, too, that helps.

And candles because that represents the light.”

Manriquez remembers helping her mom make the altar with her brother, but she was able to create art of her own at her elementary school’s celebration of the holiday.

“In school, they make you do altars,” she said. “Each classroom would do an altar, and they could be funny ones, too.

Like, you could make it to artists like Amy Winehouse. And we’d have all the grades’ altars [in the gym]. It was a whole thing.”

Along with creating altars, Manriquez said the teachers would make sugar skulls for all the students.

“They would put our names on [the skulls], which means you’re dead, but it was like a funny thing,” Manriquez said.

Although Día de los Muertos centers around death and honoring those who

have passed away, Manriquez said that integrating a sense of humor and lightheartedness is essential to celebrating the holiday in its true fashion.

“It’s a tradition where you can still have fun,” Manriquez said. “When you go to the cemetery it becomes more serious, but it’s celebrating the dead so it’s not mourning— it’s more like celebrating.”

She said students also write humorous poems called Calaveras where you can jokingly reference La Muerte, the Mexican equivalent of the Grim Reaper, coming and taking you away.

“Do you know Billy and Mandy?”

Manriquez asked while attempting to explain the concept of La Muerte to me.

I instantly recognized the children’s TV show and realized she was referring to the Grim Reaper—a telling sign of how pop

culture can serve as a cross-cultural bridge.

But the power of popular culture can have an invasive side, as well.

“This year, they released a movie about Día de los Muertos in Guanajato,” Manriquez said. “And now in Mexico City they’re doing a parade, but they’re doing it based on the movie. It’s not really the traditional way because Día de los Muertos goes back to pre-Spain, so it’s like an indigenous tradition. It’s interesting now to see these mixtures of things.”

If American-produced culture, like the most recent James Bond film, has the power to affect centuries-old traditions in other countries, where do we draw the line between cultural appreciation and appropriation?

According to Manriquez, appropriation is all about intention.

“If you appropriate it to profit, to commodify it, that’s when I think there can be a negative side to cultural appropriation,” she said. “But if it’s that it’s adopting that celebration in order to bring the community together, I see that in a positive light, even if it’s making its own thing out of it cause it’s in another place.”

Geography plays a major part in maintaining the authenticity of cultural holidays and traditions.

For Manriquez, being away from her home country caused her to abandon her own traditions, mostly because the the celebration of Día de los Muertos is virtually absent here in the U.S. “It’s very difficult to continue doing it when you’re apart from your home country for two reasons,” Manriquez said. “No

Mathias Svalina: The delivery man who will 're-purpose' your dreams, every morning

BY GRETCHYN KAYLOR @notsowild_cat

The Museum of Contemporary Art, Tucson welcomed poet Mathias Svalina Monday night and will be hosting him through the month of November. Tucson is Svalina’s second stop as he takes his 2-year-old Dream Delivery Service around the U.S. The poet refers to himself as a “servant of dreams.” He currently lives off of the monthly subscriptions of people in the cities that his service tours. His first city was Richmond, Virginia, and now he will deliver to around 40 people in Tucson.

What Svalina delivers labeled as dreams are passages between 100 and 300 words, written in the second person, meant to be read by the recipient first thing in the morning. This means he sets off at 3 a.m. every day to make deliveries on bike for those within a 4-mile radius and the rest by mail.

“There’s a formulaic way we tell our dreams, and that’s what I stick with,” Svalina said. “The most important part to me is the all-accepting logic of dreams. They’re illogical, yet obviously true when we’re in them.”

The idea to be a dream delivery man started as a joke with a friend, Svalina said, but joking turned into wondering if maybe this could be something worth doing during a summer he spent in Denver. It caught on, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver ran the project the next summer.

Svalina claims his own dreams are boring,

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS FROM PAGE 9

one around you is going to be celebrating, so you’re left alone to celebrate it ... And because it’s a very family thing, like making bread and making the altar—I wouldn’t do that on my own.”

Despite being just 70 miles from the Mexican border, the closest thing Tucson has to a communal celebration similar to Día de los Muertos is our All Soul’s Procession.

And though the parade draws on themes and aspects of the Mexican holiday, it shouldn’t be mistaken as our own version of Día de los Muertos.

Manriquez said that there are many differences between the Mexican holiday and the painting faces and marching together in a procession we do here in Tucson for All Souls Day. Like most cultural holidays,

commonplace anxiety dreams, like going in public without pants or not preparing to teach a class. When he meets people now, they often share their dreams with him and he repurposes and swaps people’s dreams around.

For the most part, it is all original content from the weirdness of his own imagination.

Writing dreams is different, Svalina said, in that he has a different, ongoing relationship with the reader, unlike a novel or article. He has to switch up the dreams like how we would normally experience our dreams— sometimes boring, sometimes sentimental, sometimes funny, but mostly just bewildering.

Svalina even has a separate nightmare delivery service, which also began as a joke on his site but ended up with subscribers.Though he said writing to scare is more difficult, especially in such short passages, for $3.75 more, he has been taking these subscriptions as well.

“I’m looking forward to the experience in different cities,” Svalina said. “Different communities and different landscapes allow me to gather new things every day, so I don’t bore people by just writing what I already know.”

Svalina said the only thing he ever wanted to do was be a writer and he has always been drawn to subject matter which resists explanation. Along with being the co-editor of the small press, Octopus Books, he has five books published and another on the way.

He also has a collection of examples of dreams available for purchase.

celebrating Día de los Muertos every year shaped the way that Manriquez and her peers understood and perceived aspects of the human experience—in this case, death.

“I know that U.S. culture lacks that relationship with death. ...

So I think by adopting that in its own way, you can say that’s kind of appropriation, but at the same time, it’s positive by adopting a culture and transforming the existing perspective,” Manriquez said.

Rather than other-izing and Americanizing our own celebration as an adopted version of Día de los Muertos, perhaps learning from Tucson’s Mexican community can serve as a way to properly integrate its legitimate traditions into our country.

The U.S. is still such a relatively new country and because of that, non-ethnic Americans can often lack a sense of deep-rooted cultural belonging. But living in a

MATHIAS SVALINA, THE CREATOR of the Dream Delivery Service, speaks at MOCA in Tucson on Monday, Oct. 31. Svalina delivers dreams written in the second person to his subcribers every morning.

Since everyone gets the same dream on Sundays, Svalina does have a bit of a break on Saturdays. Besides that, he finishes delivering at dawn and spends the rest of his days writing the next day’s dreams—the type of content he said he would be writing anyway. The Dream Delivery Service is a bringing together of all things that make Svalina happiest.

“I’m the type of person that feels really liberated and happy when I’m writing,” Svalina said. “I love biking around cities, especially when they’re empty, exploring, writing down all the weird stuff I’m thinking anyway and making a text out of it. I’ve designed it all around the things I enjoy doing most.”

city so close to Mexico provides an opportunity to learn from the culture that once dominated our region, and we can start

to redefine our own cultural understandings through learning and meaningful participation.

“Because we have a Mexican

community in Tucson, and we’re doing another thing and it’s inviting people who are not Mexican and bringing them together, I see that in a positive light because it’s just a community event and we’re united,” Manriquez said.

Tucson has an eclectic mix of races and ethnicities, and events like the All Souls Procession allow for all these different cultural upbringings to come together as a united community.

Like Manriquez said, unity is the ultimate goal of community events, but this unity shouldn’t be limited to one day a year.

So whether you’re from Tucson or not, anyone can celebrate the All Souls Procession as a Tucsonan—that’s the point of the annual event.

But the other 364 days of the year, think about how you can learn from the cultures and traditions that have shaped Tucson into the diverse community it is today.

Resident assistant Alejandra Hinojosa finds life passion in oncology, travel

BY LINDSEY OTTO @lindsotto

HEATHER NEWBERRY/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ALEJANDRA HINOJOSA, A RESIDENT Assistant in Colonial de la Paz Residence Hall, shows off a bracelet she got in Peru in her dorm room on Friday, Oct. 28. Hinojosa loves to travel and hopes to work in the medical field someday.

always travel to Mexico when I was little,” Hinojosa said. “My parents love travel, so when I was eight, my parents decided to take my sister and I [sic] to Europe. We are all about new experiences and trying new things, like foods or cultures, or doing something totally out of the ordinary.”

Out of the many places she traveled, she said the beauty of Machu Piccu in Peru enchanted her the most. Hinojosa said

South America seems as if it isn’t civilized, and she feels like she’s back in time when she’s there.

“You always see the pictures, but when you are actually there it’s insane—you realize how small you are,” Hinojosa said. “These mountains are just surrounding you and it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

about life. She said traveling, especially to another continent, changed her perspective on life and believes people need to travel to understand the world the same way those who travel do.

“You see how other people live and how people are different than we are,” Hinojosa said. “So people that boast about America being the best country—I question if they’ve gone anywhere else, because you won’t know until you actually go

Strolling through Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall, you might spot physiology sophomore and resident assistant Alejandra Hinojosa, with her purple hair and a passion for people.

Hinojosa also has a minor in public health, with the intention of entering the medical field.

“Children’s oncology strikes me because it’s really sad to me to see cancer affect someone who doesn’t even understand what cancer is,” Hinojosa said. “Kids don’t really understand how one cell can take over your entire body, so I think it would be amazing to be that last person to try and help them.

I feel like it’s such a rewarding job because children get so happy, you can actually see the reward as opposed to a regular doctor.”

Hinojosa said her compassion for others led her to become a resident assistant for Colonia de la Paz, and if she doesn’t find work as a doctor, she wants to work in the medical field in some way so she can still help people.

One of her favorite things about being an RA is interacting with each of her residents and learning about their difference.

In addition to medicine, Hinojosa also has a love for travel.

She spent her childhood traveling with her mother who works for Education First, a company that holds education and cultural exchange programs and tours around the world.

“Travel is my biggest passion— I’m half Mexican and we would

and put yourself out there.”

She remains determined to continue her travels in the future and made it a personal goal to see the seven wonders of the world.

Hinojosa said she’s interested in Asian countries because there are so many of them and they are all so different. She plans on going to China and Thailand someday to experience their cultures.

Aside from leisurely travel, Hinojosa hopes to incorporate her passion into her career by starting an oncology clinic and taking it around the world after she retires.

“I want to go Africa and places that don’t have resources for oncology or focus on cancer because they are worrying about other diseases,” Hinojosa said.

“But it affects so many people, so I feel taking the clinic to them and it being free, for example, would be the most amazing thing. And I would get to travel at the same time so I think it would be the perfect combination of all the things I love.”

Hinojosa describes herself as being always in search of new opportunities and said if she had all the money in the world, she would spend the rest of her life traveling.

“I don’t like being in the same routine,” Hinojosa said. “I love music festivals and things like that because you are surrounded with so many different people and it’s different every single time. Same thing with traveling— everywhere you go is going to be different. To me, the most important thing is to try new things because that’s the only way you’re going to grow as a person.”

Does Dieting Work?

Dieting. A cringe-worthy word to some, and a confusing concept to most.

According to the dictionary, “diet” simply refers to foods we eat on a regular basis. Today, most people refer to “diet” and/or “dieting” as a temporary, restrictive eating plan for the purposes of losing weight. When it comes to the latter and most common interpretation of dieting, the big question is, “Does it work?” From the straightforward to the outrageous, let’s explore the results.

• In short, the answer is NO. Nearly two-thirds of Americans who lose weight on diets gain it back within one year. Also, the deprivation of restrictive diets may lead to a pattern of overeating or binge/ restrict eating that can lead to longterm disordered eating habits.

• Fad diets, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, are shortterm, quick fixes that actually set many dieters up for weight-loss failure. Some fad diets can even be harmful, especially if they promote eating unlimited amounts of single foods. From the all-cookie diet to the all-cabbage diet, eating

extraordinary amounts of the same food is not only boring, it can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Moreover, these plans teach you nothing about sustainable eating for lifelong health.

• Losing more than 10 pounds per week may sound appealing, but it’s a rate of weight loss that is unrealistic to maintain. Slow, steady weight loss at a rate of 1/2 a pound to 1 pound per week is more likely to last than dramatic weight changes.

Losing weight too quickly can result in a greater loss of muscle, water and even bone mass, and you’re more likely to regain the pounds quickly afterwards.

Overall, when it comes to dieting, the bottom line is simple: If a diet or product sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The best path to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is a lifelong combination of eating smarter and moving more. For a personalized and tailored plan that works with your schedule and lifestyle, consider speaking with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, like those at the UA Campus Health Service.

ARIZONA CENTER DUSAN RISTIC overcomes Idaho College defense during Arizona’s blow out 86-35 win over Idaho College in McKale Center on Tuesday, Nov. 1. Ristic recorded 14 points and 9 rebounds Tuesday.

Arizona basketball depth takes hit in exhibition win

BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW

Arizona basketball kicked off its season with an 86-35 victory over the College of Idaho Coyotes. Freshman Kobi Simmons led the way in scoring with 17 points and junior Dusan Ristic starred for the Wildcats with 14 points and 9 rebounds.

Everything went according to plan for Arizona on the scoreboard, but that was well beside the point on Tuesday night.

Redshirt freshman Ray Smith went down with an apparent leg injury early in his first appearance off the bench, and headed to the locker room. He returned to the court only minutes later and appeared to be moving well.

With 12:39 to go in the first half, Smith went down again, and this time he had to be helped to the locker room.

He was coming off of two ACL injuries heading in to this season, and head coach Sean Miller said it was tough on the entire Arizona team.

“Tough night for us—watching Ray go down. It certainly didn’t look good; we’ll know more in the next couple of days,” Miller said. “I think that trumps everything else tonight.”

Miller said that tonight had the feeling of a loss due to the injury.

“It’s heartbreaking. I don’t have any words to really couch it, make it better than it really is, it’s just awful.”

Miller announced before game time that sophomore center Chance Comanche was suspended indefinitely due to academic eligibility issues. Sophomore Allonzo Trier was in street clothes as well, but there is still no official word on his status. Early in the season, Arizona already lacks the depth it thought would be a strength this year.

“We don’t have any depth,” Miller said.

“We’ll have to play our walk-ons. They’ll have to be ready.”

For the night’s game action, a stifling Arizona defense held the Coyotes to more turnovers than points in the first half (14 turnovers, 9 points), and the Coyotes had no answer for Arizona’s size. Markkanen and Ristic took advantage down low early on, and by halftime, the Wildcats led 50-9.

Ristic started at center and displayed improved mobility and touch around the rim.

He is a matchup nightmare with his ability to stretch the floor at either the power forward or center spots, and his offseason work looks like it has paid off.

Freshman Lauri Markkanen passed another test in the matchup. After an impressive showing in the Red-Blue Game, he continued to prove why he was such a highly touted prospect. He spotted up for two 3-pointers, scored early on interior passes from Ristic and played physical against the undersized Coyotes. Markkanen finished with 8 points and 10 rebounds.

Another bright spot for Arizona was the play of senior guard Kadeem Allen, who finished with 11 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists in an all-around performance. Miller was impressed with Allen’s defense and the Wildcats will heavily rely on his ball stopping abilities.

“I’ve not seen a better defensive player than Kadeem Allen,” Miller said.

Even after Tuesday’s dominating performance, Arizona still has more questions than answers. Comanche’s absence will affect their rotation, Trier is an unknown and the injury to Smith is heartbreaking for a young Wildcats team. With 10 days until the matchup with Michigan State, Arizona has to regroup in a hurry.

The Wildcats conclude their exhibition schedule at 4 p.m. on Sunday against Cal State Chico.

Trier’s status still in disarray for Wildcats Arizona’s top scoring option Allonzo Trier kept on bench for undisclosed reasons

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

Arizona sophomore guard Allonzo Trier was tabbed to be the leader and main scoring threat for the Arizona Wildcats men’s basketball team this season—that may soon change.

Trier did not play in Arizona’s exhibition against College of Idaho on Tuesday night and his prospects for this season are even cloudier after weeks of speculation about his standing within college athletics. What we do know is this: Trier did not suit up in Arizona’s first exhibition and if that is any indicator, we know he won’t hit the court until his situation has cleared through whatever process within the team or externally.

Head coach Sean Miller declined to comment about Trier on Monday during Miller’s weekly press conference, but that has only fanned the flames after denying several questions about the standout sophomore’s situation.

In addition, sophomore center Chance Comanche has been ruled out academically. Miller released a statement shortly before the Wildcats’ exhibition game Tuesday night: “Chance Comanche will not play in tonight’s game due to his own lack of academic responsibility. As a member of our basketball program, you are a student and an athlete, and you are expected to

do the best of your ability in both areas. It is not an option to compete and be held accountable on the court but not in the classroom. This suspension is indefinite.”

The losses of Trier and Comanche and the extent of time they may miss is the biggest concern to the Wildcats. The two were expected to make big contributions to this years’ team, but now Arizona will face the 2016-2017 season already dealing with depth issues. It is not an enviable position for the team to be in to start the season.

All comments about the two after the game were deferred to the posted statement by Miller before the game, and he would still not discuss Trier’s status.

Trier returned this season after foregoing an opportunity to enter the NBA draft after discussions with his family and Miller. The 6-foot-5 guard out of Washington averaged 14.8 points per game for the Wildcats and was viewed to be a potential breakout star on the national scale.

Comanche improved over the course of last season, adding valuable minutes in the last games of the year. He was in position to compete with junior Dusan Ristic for the starting spot and received praise by Miller for his hard work and significant improvement over the course of the offseason just a day prior to his suspension.

As you may suspect, the types of drinks you choose can make a big difference in whether you have a fun and enjoyable night, or one filled with regrets. Those drink choices also have a way of spilling over into how you feel the next day, too. And while the actual ethanol is the same in whatever alcoholic concoction you choose, it’s the dosage that can vary – by a lot.

Our advice? Stick to drinks with a lower percentage of alcohol (also called ABV or alcohol by volume), which allow you to drink (and absorb) alcohol at a slower rate, thereby keeping your social buzz longer. Shots of hard alcohol, such as vodka, gin, or whiskey, go down fast and raise your blood alcohol content (BAC) faster.

The problem is, it’s all too easy to throw down a few of those before your body even has a chance to give you the “signal” that you just had too much, too fast. Once you cross that line, you’re less likely to be enjoying the party and more likely to hugging it out with the porcelain god on the bathroom floor.

If a fun night out is your goal, here are four tips to live by: Drink beer – it typically has a lower alcohol content (usually around 5% ABV) than other drinks, and allows you to pace yourself over the course of the evening. Don’t like the taste? Hard ciders have about the same ABV as beer.

DIY – if you choose mixed drinks, make them yourself so you can limit the alcohol content to keep the party going.

Fill up your red cup with mixer (soda, OJ, etc.) and add a 1 oz. shot (or less) of the hard stuff as a rule of thumb.

Hydrate – water may just be the secret sauce you are looking for. Drinking it gives your liver a break from having to metabolize more alcohol. It also helps fend off hangovers and headaches the next day.

Skip the shots – sorry, but hard alcohol can kill a social buzz faster than just about any party foul. When you hear the chorus chanting “shot”, let that be your cue to smoothly step out to explore the rest of party. Your fun and enjoyable night out may depend on it.

The best athlete you’ve

never heard of

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

You’d never know it if you met her—in fact, she’d never tell you— but Arizona women’s golfer Haley Moore is possibly the best athlete on campus that you’ve never heard of.

The 5-foot-11 sophomore from Escondido, California, came to Arizona last year ranked as one of the top junior golfers in the country, according to the American Junior Golf Association’s Polo rankings.

Moore’s long list of accolades and victories include being named the 2014 California Interscholastic Federation Player of the Year in high school and finishing in the top 10 at the Pac-12 Championships, but that isn’t what made Haley Moore stand out. What surfaced Moore on the radar is that she finished second place at the NCAA Championships last season. And, by the way, she was only 17 years old.

When most teenagers are figuring out prom accommodations and getting their driver’s license, Moore was outdriving 22 and 23-year-old college athletes by 50 yards. She missed many events in high school, like dances, not because she had to but because she wanted to. She didn’t want to miss a single golf practice or event.

Moore finished high school almost a year and a half early in order to fulfill her dreams of playing in college and turning pro; she is that smart and that damn good.

She should be in the middle of her senior year at Pasqual High School.

Instead, she is honing her skills in preparation for a huge sophomore campaign for the UA. There is simply no other way to put it other than if she played college basketball, ESPN’s Dick Vitale would call her a Diaper Dandy.

Moore started her golf journey as a 5-year-old after being dragged to the golf course because her older brother, Tyler, frequently played.

After playing other sports for several years, Moore decided golf was her passion and stuck to it.

“It was a struggle for me at first,

but once I practiced more and worked hard, it became a passion,” Moore said. “I’ve probably competed in over 150 amateur events. Each day, I practice about six to seven hours and each day I work on something specific.”

That decision would be instrumental as golf is one of the rare sports that athletes participate in on their own, lost in the maze of their own thoughts, examining life and skill all in one. Moore admits to not being outgoing until she gets to know people, which is another reason why hitting the course day after day is ideal. She has a gentle

demeanor—soft, kind and wouldn’t hurt anyone. Before high school, it was viewed as a weakness by bullies who took advantage, according to Haley’s mother.

“A boy once took her backpack from her and threw it into the boys’ restroom when she was in middle school,” said Michele Moore, Haley’s mother. “He then filled it with water, destroying everything that was inside of it. Haley was a huge Bieber fan at the time and had recently got a Bieber book that she loved; it was destroyed. It is hard to even bring that up. It was a difficult day.”
