Arizona’s Supreme Court justices will convene at the UA James E. Rogers College of Law on Nov. 10. Room 164 will hold two oral arguments open to the public. The event is part of a statewide public education effort and something the Arizona Supreme Court has been doing for decades. “I got here in ’89 and they’ve been here every year,” said Toni Massaro, a UA professor of constitutional law and dean emeritus. The oral arguments will take place in 40-minute segments beginning at 2 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. The first case, State of Arizona v. Joseph Javier Romero, began as a murder trial that led to the conviction of Romero for firstdegree murder. Romero appealed to the courts and was able to have another trial. However, Romero’s proposed expert, experimental psychologist Dr. Ralph Haber, had his authority to provide an expert testimony questioned and denied in court on the basis that he was not qualified to challenge the state’s firearms expert. Nevertheless, the second trial resulted in the reduction of Romero’s conviction to seconddegree murder. Now, Romero has appealed to the Supreme Court, saying that his gun expert should never have been precluded from the second trial. The second court case, Jackie Abbott et al. v. Banner Health Network et al., involves a suit that was brought against the hospital by patients who felt it was taking part in balanced billing. Balanced billing is when a health care provider charges an amount in excess of what is reimbursable under the given health insurance plan. The court of appeals ruled against the hospital, but the hospital appealed to the Supreme Court, saying that the money it charged patients was lawful. The oral arguments involve

Second-year law student Jaycie Gibney exits the law building after finishing her day of classes Thursday, Oct. 29. Arizona Supreme Court justices will present oral arguments regarding two cases at the William H. Rehnquist Center on Nov. 10.
a back and forth between the lawyers and the justices, giving students a chance to see how the justices carry themselves in court and interact with the lawyers. The petitioner and responder will be given roughly an equal amount of time to talk. Since the lawyers submit their written arguments in advance, the oral arguments serve as a time for the justices to ask the lawyers any remaining questions. “The point of oral arguments is to give the lawyers a chance to answer any questions that the justices have, so it’s less important that they talk the whole time than that they listen closely to what the justices are
worried about,” Massaro said. According to Massaro, the benefit of students getting to watch live court proceedings is enormous. “They get to see up front and close the members of the highest court, the Arizona Supreme Court,” Massaro said. “Later on this semester, the appellate court below them will be here, so they get to see who [those] justices are.” Students will also get a chance to interact with the justices. After the second oral argument, justices will take questions from the audience for about 20 minutes. Questions must be general and cannot pertain to pending cases.
The Rehnquist Center recommends those interested in attending the event RSVP on its website, as seating can fill up. The proceedings can also be streamed live online via the Arizona Supreme Court website. Those who plan on attending in person should dress appropriately. No headgear or flip-flops, according to Massaro, who added that students should aim for business casual.

California legalizes right to end own life BY NICHOLAS JOHNSON The Daily Wildcat
California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a physician-assisted suicide bill into law last month, adding fuel to the fire for many groups fighting for similar legislation in Arizona. California is the fifth state to pass a law concerning physician-assisted suicide. Other states with similar laws include Oregon, Washington, Montana and Vermont. This new legislation comes in response to a large movement made by the Death with Dignity National Center. The recent movement was sparked by Brittany Maynard, who had a severe brain tumor and moved her family from the San Francisco Bay Area north to Oregon in order to be allowed the option to end her own life. Maynard died by way of assisted death medication Nov. 1, 2014. “I am not suicidal,” Maynard wrote in a column for CNN. “If I were, I would have consumed that medication long ago. I do not want to die. But I am dying, and I want to die on my own terms.” Religious institutions such as the Catholic Church oppose physicianassisted suicide. The Catholic Church’s beliefs regard suicide in all forms as wrong. Being a former Jesuit seminarian student, Brown’s decision to sign the bill into law came as a surprise. Currently Arizona does not have any laws that allow physician-assisted suicide. Any person in the state who aids in the suicide of another person is considered to be committing
manslaughter and can be charged accordingly. “With proper regulations, I think physician-assisted suicide should [be] legalized federally,” said Sierra Drake, a physiology junior. There are activist organizations within Arizona working to have laws changed to allow physician-assisted suicide. Maynard’s story has caught the attention of the nation. According to an Arizona assisted-suicide advocacy group, Compassion and Choices, the amount of states considering bills on assisted death increased from four to 24 in 2014. There are, however, doctors who oppose the legalization of assisted suicide. Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, director of the medical ethics for the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine, told The New York Times that he is concerned patients will begin to question the motives of medical professionals once they enroll in an assisted suicide program. Despite the hesitation of a portion of the medical professional population, there is still strong advocacy in favor of legislation passing. “If they’re not in a mentally altered state and can rationalize what they’re doing, then they should be allowed that decision,” said Karissa Pottorff, a preveterinary science major. — Follow Nicholas Johnson @DailyWildcat

Staff and faculty honored by AAFSAA BY Ava Garcia
The Daily Wildcat
The Asian American Faculty, Staff and Alumni Association announced the winners of its 2015 Outstanding Faculty and Staff Award on Oct. 21. This year’s winners include faculty members C. Kent Kwoh, professor of Medicine and Medical Imaging, Mohammad Pessarakli, a professor from the School of Plant Sciences, staff members Jennifer Cubeta, the assistant program director of the Undergraduate Biology Research Program, and Tharini Wijeweera, the senior academic adviser for the College of Science. In addition, AAFSAA presented Kellie Terhune Neely the Outstanding Alumni award and Bernice Gin the Outstanding Community Service award. The AAFSAA chooses the staff and faculty award winners based on their accomplishments in different areas, such as contributions to their profession, research, or cultural and artistic work, according to Caryn Jung, a senior coordinator for UA Life and Work Connections. For the staff award in particular, Jung said that staff should show “a high
standard of personal initiative and resourcefulness” in job performance. “Truly, an AASFAA awardee represents excellence in their respected field as leaders regarding their professional service as well as their volunteer efforts,” Jung said. Award winners are first nominated by others, such as supervisors, and then colleagues write letters of support for their nomination. Award winners are not always directly involved with AAFSAA programs, like in the case of Wijeweera. Despite not being a part of any AAFSAA programs in the past, Wijeweera said he looks forward to getting more involved with the AAFSAA community and feels honored to win this award. “I am very lucky to work with such great individuals in the College of Science, and I am so thankful for all of the opportunities and experiences that I’ve had in my position,” Wijeweera wrote in an email. This is not the first foray into AAFSAA programs for all of the winners, though. Pessarakli said that while he has not been a member of the association, he has been to the celebration dinners for the award
winners a few times at the beginning of his career, which began in 1981. The celebration dinner will take place Nov. 7 at the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center, where the award winners will receive a plaque in their honor. “This celebration is very special because it recognizes accomplished UA faculty and staff as well as outstanding student scholars, alumni and community members,” Jung said. “[The award winners will] attend the dinner celebration as AAFSAA’s esteemed guests and their accomplishments and service are highlighted in a number of campus communications.” The celebration marks AAFSAA’s 26th anniversary for award winners. According to Jung, the organization provides scholarship funds for UA students of Asian or Pacific Islander heritage and does volunteer work throughout the community. “The association, through our volunteer efforts, strengthens ongoing connections between UA faculty staff and students along with alumni and community leaders that support UA and AAFSAA mission,” Jung said. “We also raise awareness of

various attributions of faculty, staff, alumni and community member service contributions under the AASFAA umbrella.” While AAFSAA works to continue with this awareness, the faculty the association honors work to continue their accomplishments worth awarding. For instance, Pessarakli is
in the process of working on his 10th book on plant science. “I just like to do the work like a workaholic, and I’m happy,” Pessarakli said. “When you do something, you get the result.” — Follow Ava Garcia @ava_garcia_

POLICE BEAT BY MEGHAN FERNANDEZ The Daily Wildcat
The human traffic cone with sass Two UA students were arrested for minors in possession after holding up traffic while walking through a crosswalk. A University of Arizona Police Department officer saw a group of female students in a crosswalk. When the light turned green, two female students were still in the crosswalk, obstructing traffic. One of the stopped drivers honked their horn and one of the students, who was dressed in black, flipped off the cars and shouted obscenities. The other student was dressed as an angel, wearing a white dress and a halo. The officer, after seeing all of this occur, stopped the two students once they crossed the street, and they each gave the officer their name. The officer noted that they both smelled strongly of alcohol. The officer first talked to the woman in the angel costume, who told the officer she lived in the Coronado Residence Hall and had been drinking at Theta Chi fraternity. She also told the officer that she thought there would be time to cross the street. After speaking with her, the officer spoke with the other female student, who had flipped off the drivers. She, too, told the officer she drank at the same fraternity. She explained to the officer that she flipped off the drivers in response to them making the gesture first and that the drivers did not abide the left turn yield. The officer told the student dressed in black that the drivers of the cars were not turning left and that even if they were, the drivers did not have to yield because the women had entered the crosswalk when the hand was flashing red. This upset her, and she told the officer he was being rude. Both of the female students were also cited for impeding traffic while in the crosswalk. Sleeping beauty wakes for nobody A UA student called 911 because her roommate was vomiting. A UAPD officer arrived at Hopi Lodge after receiving a report of an intoxicated student who needed medical assistance. UA Emergency Medical Services also arrived at the scene to evaluate the intoxicated student. After entering the dorm room, the officer noticed vomit on the floor near the bed. The drunken student who produced said vomit was in the bed. Another officer arrived at the room, and the roommate of the intoxicated student told that officer she had called 911 after waking up to her roommate vomiting. EMS finished the medical evaluation and cleared the student. The officer attempted talking to the student, but she could not stay awake. The officer shook her to wake her up. When she finally woke up, the officer noticed her makeup was smudged on her face and that she had bloodshot eyes. He told the student that she was going to be diverted to the Dean of Students Office. The female student simply went back to sleep after this.

Healthier Party Foods Whether you’re getting together to watch a game, celebrate, or just because it’s been a while, you can make party food that is fun, tasty, and pretty good for you. And although you may not want to completely replace all of your favorite
party foods, use a few of these ideas to put together a tasty variety of choices, old and new, that include colors and textures that won’t “bust a gut.” Switch out some of your usual party foods for these healthier options:
INSTEAD OF:
TRY THESE:
Chips
Pirate’s Booty, pretzels, baked corn tortilla wedges, sandwich thin wedges (whole grain), Popcorn (see “Gourmet Microwave Popcorn”*), Trail mix*
Cheese dips, sour cream dips
Bean dip, salsa, hummus, Bruschetta topping (from a jar, like Trader Joe’s), Greek yogurt-based dips (here’s a good one: Spinach Artichoke Dip*), and Hearty Hummus*
Crackers
Veggies: baby carrots, snap peas, celery, cherry tomatoes, sweet pepper strips, zucchini wedges, jicama (look it up! great for dipping) Fruit: apple slices, pear slices, grapes Whole grain crackers: Triscuits, Wheat Thins, and Kashi have a variety (look for “whole grain” in ingredients on these and other crackers)
Hard, yellow cheeses
Soft white cheeses: part skim mozzarella (aka string cheese), goat cheese/ feta, Laughing Cow cheeses, Babybel cheeses
Taquitos, pizza bites, bagel bites, other pre-made “party” food
Try a couple of these really easy, really yummy recipes from the Cooking on Campus student chefs: Deconstructed Caprese Salad* (salad on a stick), Baked Potato Bites*, Pinwheel Wraps*, Balsamic Grape Crostini*, Cauliflower Tots*
* FOR THESE RECIPES AND MORE PARTY FOOD IDEAS GO TO: www.cookingoncampus.arizona.edu/recipe/snacks-and-side-dishes
STRATEGIES TO CUT COSTS: • Do it yourself: Make it from scratch (try one of the Cooking on Campus recipes); cut up veggies and fruit yourself. • Ask friends to bring something to share. Then you provide a few low-cal,
fresh, whole-food options to balance the more traditional, high fat foods they may bring (nacho cheese dip, wings, chips, etc). • Use produce that is in-season for best prices.

A border patrol agent tells a student photographer to stop taking photos of a port of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border. Border patrol has been cracking down on civilian and professional photographers alike who attempt to take pictures of the border or Customs and Border Protection agents.
Border patrol shuts out photographers BY Alicia Vega
The Arizona Sonora News Service
Border patrol officials regularly harass, intimidate and threaten citizens and journalists alike who take photos from public rights of way at border patrol entries and do the same when they take photos of agents either there or in the field. Such harassment, including demanding people to stop taking photos without a reason, is one of intimidation, said James Lyall, an American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona border litigation staff attorney in Tucson. Customs and Border Protection agents have a restrictive view of what the First Amendment allows, he said. “People in a public area have the right to photograph,” Lyall said. Because U.S. General Services Administration owns the port of entry properties, agents are required to enforce a federal rule that allows photos of entrances and lobbies for news purposes only. Teresa Small, a CBP public affairs liaison in Tucson, will not discuss why officers use strong strong-armed tactics. She suggests that people who are going to photograph a port of entry get permission by the headquarters first. The aggressive actions to stop border photography are being challenged in the courts. Two human rights activists—both in California—filed suit after border patrol agents confiscated their cameras, detained them and deleted their images. David Cuillier, the former president of the Society of Professional Journalists and current director of the School of Journalism for the UA, said this restriction isn’t “American” at all. “There’s no invasion of privacy or harm,” he said.
Recently, a student photographer stood on a sidewalk along International Street in Nogales, Arizona, facing the U.S.-Mexico border taking photos of people crossing the border and entering the U.S. It took no longer than five minutes for a CBP officer to walk out from the Nogales-Morley Gate Port of Entry to tell her to put her camera away. He told her she could not photograph agents. He told her to delete her photos and took her phone to see what images she had taken. Some federal officials argue that the photographs could leave border agents more vulnerable to attacks. “Part of why those rules are in place is if [border patrol agents] have someone out there taking a bunch of pictures of the outside, the exits and the entries, they feel like they could be scoping out the building for some type of vulnerability for attack,” said Peter Bidegain, a former CBP public information officer in Tucson. “That’s a real concern for people on the Department of Homeland Security level.” John Lawson, acting section chief of strategic communication for Arizona, said he agrees. “There are foreign and domestic people who don’t like our presence, regardless of our intent to safeguard the nation,” Lawson said. “In addition to terrorists, there is the constant threat of cartels gathering intelligence on facilities and how to circumvent or defeat our security measures.” Such arguments fail to carry much weight with First Amendment experts. “I can’t conceive any reason why you can’t take photos,” said Dan Barr, an attorney for the First Amendment Coalition of Arizona. “Not just [journalists]—anybody can take photos.”

In 2015, 42% of UA undergrads did not drink alcohol in the past 30 days. This percentage has increased 52% since 2002. (2015 Health & Wellness Survey, n=2,705)
When do you know if you are a heavy drinker? Are you a light drinker, a moderate drinker or a heavy drinker? How you answer that question probably has a lot to do with who you hang out with. If you drink heavily and your friends do too, you might consider yourself more of an average/ typical drinker when, in fact, that’s not the case. Fortunately there are better ways to gauge your drinking. Should any one of the following describe your alcohol use, you may be in a range consistent with heavy drinking. If you have experienced a few or more, it’s a good time for an alcohol use check-up: 1. It takes more to get the same effect – this means you are building up tolerance, a sign your drinking may be headed in the wrong direction. 2. The guidelines seem way off – experts tell us that moderate alcohol use for men is no more than 2 drinks per day/14 drinks per week. For women, it’s no more than 1 drink per day/7 drinks per week. If you are exceeding either the daily or weekly limits, you may be a heavy drinker.
3. Your drinking is spilling over – ... and adversely affecting other parts of your life such as your relationships, academics, or work responsibilities. 4. Blackouts – alcohol-induced amnesia very likely means high blood alcohol content (BAC) levels. The not-remembering part only compounds things. 5. Someone said something – if a friend, roommate, professor, coach, or family member has been concerned about your drinking, others are noticing something is up. 6. You have regrets – this could relate to either things you did or said while intoxicated, or more generally, feeling bad or guilty about how much you drink. 7. It’s hard to just have a few – when passing out or blacking out becomes the coda to each night you drink, and/or you have trouble setting a limit and sticking to it. Want more feedback on your alcohol use or thinking of making a change? You can speak to someone at Campus Health by calling (520) 621-5700.

Feminine care, sanitation not a luxury BY maddie pickens The Daily Wildcat
T
he British Parliament has drawn a lot of attention over the past few years, recently over something that most people would traditionally consider rather dry—its tax law. Specifically, its tax law as it pertains to tampons. Tampons are currently taxed at 5 percent in Great Britain—as a “luxury item.” Campaigns over the years have actually drastically reduced the tax, which in the past has been as high as 17.5 percent. Currently, there is a proposed amendment to the Finance Bill that would eliminate the tax entirely. Taxes are obviously important. However, in a country like Britain where many goods are subsidized by the government and remain untaxed, it’s interesting to note that tampons are not included in the list. Notably, “alcoholic jellies,” “edible sugar flowers” and “exotic meats” are all items
They’re a nuisance. They make it harder that are not taxed under the British code. to exercise, harder to engage in sexual Pita bread is not even taxed. activities and even harder to sleep Under the National Health Service, normally. The accompanying hormones condoms and hormonal birth control cause mood swings that are free. Yet women in aren’t fun for anyone. In Britain must not only most places, they’re so pay for their sanitary taboo that women can’t products, they must even properly complain pay extra. Regardless of about them. Periods your stance on whether are, to put it plainly, people should pay miserable—why add for birth control after insult to injury to force they choose to become women to pay every time sexually active, it’s it happens? ludicrous to expect that Stella Creasy, a women should pay extra member of Parliament for something that is who discussed the most definitively not a proposed amendment choice—their period. Ask any woman if they — Stella Creasy, Labour on Channel 4 news, consider their monthly Member of Parliament phrased the answer to this question incredibly menstruation to be a eloquently. luxury. Ask them if they “Tampons and consider their sanitary sanitary towels … have always been products unnecessary or frivolous.

women are not treated as equally as the concerns of men.” You can bet that if men got periods, the NHS would be passing out tampons on every street corner. Instead, we’re left with crotchety old members of Parliament trying to explain why it’s necessary to tax women for a biological function they have no control over. The tampon tax is antiquated. It’s sexist. In many ways, it’s almost comical—until you consider the situations of women who live in poverty and cannot afford their own sanitary products every month. No one should ever have to decide between buying groceries and maintaining their reproductive health and sanitation. The issue at hand shouldn’t be just eliminating the tampon tax—rather, members of Parliament should be focused on eliminating costs for tampons entirely. If they’re looking for ways to make up the extra money, perhaps they could consider a small tax on edible sugar flowers.

Bloody, sexy diary: iOS 9 is there for you, ladies by hailey dickson The Daily Wildcat
I
f you’re anything like me, you’ve probably never really used Apple’s built-in HealthKit app, let alone realized there was a name for that little pink heart icon. Thanks to Apple’s latest operating system update, however, roughly 50 percent of iPhone users—namely those with uteruses—might find the app a whole lot more useful. The iOS 9 HealthKit update now includes a sex tracker. The initial media reactions to this new feature were incredulous— why on earth does Apple need to know anything about its users’ sex lives? Do we really need a machine to help us plot the trends of when we are—or aren’t—getting any? Those who are lamenting the entry of big data into our bedrooms completely miss the
point of the HealthKit update. The new feature now gives women a discreet platform to document something even more taboo than their sex lives: their periods. The HealthKit tool has been a part of iOS for years; it allows users to monitor things as general as exercise trends or as niched as copper and selenium intake or the Peripheral Perfusion Index. It’s a wonder it took so long for Apple’s HealthKit developers to realize the key audience they were forgetting to address. Somewhere amid what I presume were some very heated discussions about the importance of the selenium intake monitor, Apple’s employees forgot about a much more pressing health issue that affects millions of users every month. When only 20 percent of Apple engineers are women, it’s sadly not a surprise that developers overlooked the importance of incorporating a menstruation tracker for so long. Better late than never, the new feature
finally adds some veracity to HealthKit’s promise to help you “see your whole health picture.” Reproductive health is a major component in many women’s overall well-being. Now, with HealthKit, women can document information like when they last had sex, whether protection was used, when their last period was, what their symptoms were like and more. This data can be used to help women predict where they are in their menstrual or ovulation cycle at any point in time, when they reach peak or minimum fertility, when their next period will start or end and what kind of symptoms they should keep an eye out for. Having a comprehensive understanding of her body can help a woman develop a
“
better sense of agency. Tracking components of her reproductive health can allow a woman to better plan or prevent a pregnancy, identify potential causes for concern, or simply know in advance when to stock up on feminine supplies and ice cream. There have always been other apps available for women to chart this information, but they can be difficult to find on the app store or indiscreet once downloaded. Who wants their friends to spot a giant, pink “Period Tracker” icon on their homescreen? By providing the feature automatically to any woman with an iPhone, Apple further eliminates embarrassing or inconvenient barriers to women knowing and understanding their own bodies.
Having a comprehensive understanding of her body can help a woman develop a better sense of agency.”
Further, combining a menstruation tracker with a comprehensive health app juxtaposes reproductive health with a database of other pertinent information. Cycle regularity and menstrual symptom severity are affected by other health factors, such as diet, sleep, travel, exercise and stress. When women can document reproductive health information alongside these other variables, they can better identify health behaviors that worsen or alleviate symptoms of their cycles. If we’re to be tied to our phones, then our phones should be tied to our health. Medical researchers and engineers are learning more and more every day that our bodies are one big, comprehensive picture; using technology to treat women’s reproductive health concerns with legitimacy is a huge step in completing that picture.

film as experience from page 7
aggressive make-up sex made me long for the simple pleasures of Han Solo being sucked into the carbon-freezing chamber or Ellen Ripley taking a flamethrower to some aliens. Most of my viewing at The Loft Film Fest 2015 would certainly fall into the “experience” category rather than “entertainment.” I purposefully sought out films with somewhat exotic premises, and while none of them could be described as an exhilarating roller coaster ride, all of them left an impression on me as both a cinemagoer and a filmmaker. Americans could certainly benefit from more of this type of viewing, not only to expand their artistic horizons, but also to expose them to various cultural points of view that might otherwise go unexplored. It’s harder to be intolerant of a social group that you’ve seen a heart-rending, two-hour drama about. This is the true power of cinema—its awe-inspiring, intangible ability to influence our world just as much as we as storytellers influence the fictional one. For a more enriching, if not necessarily thrilling, cinema experience, filmgoers might consider making their next viewing a challenging one. To quote Yanc once more, “Even if you end up not loving a film, the chances are pretty good that the experience is not going to kill you. So why not give it a shot?”

A (tiny) snail tale A research team has found what is possibly the world’s smallest snail. The new species, Acmella nana, was discovered in northeastern Borneo and measures just 0.02 inches. The Angustopila diminikae, discovered in southern China in September, was previously thought to have been the smallest snail, measuring .03 inches. A study reporting the finding was published Monday in the journal Zootaxa. According to the study, the research team also described 47 other new species of land snails found in Malaysia, most of them being fairly small as well. Menno Schilthuizen, a researcher for the Naturalis Biodiversity Center and Leiden University in the Netherlands, said it is probable that the A. nana has gills, and therefore probably lives in wet areas. According to Schilthuizen, the shell of the A. nana is characteristic of snails that possess gills. Most of the snails found were already dead, so researchers do not yet know where these snails live or what they eat. The study states that the snails were found near areas with limestone, which contains calcium that the snails need for their shells. The study also describes a species that researchers found with a unique c-shaped shell, called the Ditropopsis davisoni. According to Schilthuizen, the research team does not yet know the function of the shape of the shell. Rovin rovin rovin European planetary scientists are building a roving laboratory that they plan to land on Mars’ Oxia Planum in 2018. The ExoMars 2018 rover is currently being developed by the European Space Agency. The ExoMars 2018 is the first rover to be dedicated to searching for possible life on Mars since the Viking rovers. The ESA decided in October to land the ExoMars 2018 rover at Oxia Planum, an area on the red planet that contains clay deposits and landforms that lead researchers to think that it once contained lakes and rivers. Oxia Planum also features an area that spans 9.3 miles, which researchers believe was once a delta.

Eachyear,schoolsdemonstrating excellent work in sustainability are invited to the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. This year, the UA Students for Sustainability sent 12 representatives to participate in the conference along with 20 other UA representatives. The conference was the largest on record, with around 2,300 participants during the four-day event, according to Samantha Springs, the co-director for Students for Sustainability and an environmental science senior. It brought new discoveries and reassurance to the members of Students for Sustainability. Oberlin College’s Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies David Orr spoke at the conference about his successes integrating sustainability at Oberlin College as the special assistant to the president of Oberlin on sustainability and the environment, as well as his vision for the future of sustainability in educational settings. “[Orr] has been really successful in incorporating sustainability in Oberlin College and incorporating the outside community,” said Michael Rabbani, the co-director for Students for Sustainability and a chemical engineering junior. Students also presented on their own efforts to promote sustainability within their universities at the conference. Students for Sustainability submitted six proposals on topics they wished to present. For the first time, all six of the proposals were accepted. “The was the first year that all of the proposals were accepted, which is a sign to us that the sophistication of our projects is increasing, and our work that we are doing is starting to be recognized,” Rabbani said. Students for Sustainability gave all of the six accepted presentations, covering topics such as its Greening the Game project, the group’s sustainability education outreach, its rainwater harvesting projects as a part of HydroCats and a poster

presentation about the Greeks Think Green project. Greening the Game is a program that encourages recycling and waste reduction at UA sporting events like the football games. Greeks Think Green works with greek houses on campus to promote recycling and composting. Presenters at the conference were especially interested in the work Students for Sustainability has been doing with waste reduction. The Greening the Game and Greeks Think Green programs were well received, since they highlight unique opportunities to create a more waste-conscious campus. “[The Post-Landfill Action Network was] really interested in working with us because they
haven’t really delved into greening Greek Life or collegiate sports,” Springs said. “So they said they might want to model some of their plans off of our programs.” The conference also inspired new thinking, especially regarding the recycling of less traditional items. The Post-Landfill Action Network gave a zero-waste presentation that covered recycling used clothes and household items by holding a school-wide yard sale. “We are doing a pretty great job with composting and recycling, but there are so many more things you can do to reduce waste,” Springs said. One of the biggest takeaways for the co-directors was seeing just how unique the sustainability program at the UA is. “We have had so much success
at the UA,” Rabbani said. “There are a few other student internship programs across the country, but they are mostly made up of only 15 or 20 students, tops. And I am saying a few; this is not a thing at every university.” Opportunities like this conference also demonstrate the need and want for action on climate change in a variety of aspects. “The overarching aspect is that climate change affects everyone,” Springs said. “The Earth has been here for four billion years and it will be here for four billion more years, but we won’t be.”

profitable space for doing research on the possibility of life on Mars. “This site guarantees most of what we want in terms of science and engineering,” Bibring said. According to Bibring, Mars is covered with clay formations, indicating that water was pooled up on the surface of the planet for long periods of time in the past. Bibring also said that he hopes the data the rover collects will help researchers study the changes in composition of the clay on Mars over time. The ExoMars mission is a collaboration between the ESA and Russian space agency Roscosmos. ExoMars is made up of multiple stages, the first of which is the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, which will launch in 2016, according to the ESA. The ESA plans to launch the rover to Mars in 2018; the journey to the planet from Earth will take approximately nine months. Stone cold sexy Archaeologists in Jersey in the Channel Islands have uncovered stone artifacts that are believed to have been left behind by huntergatherers during the last Ice Age. Archaeologists have begun to analyze the artifacts, which they estimate to be at least 14,000 years old. The research on the artifacts is being done by the Ice Age Project, an archaeological project that has been working on the Les Varines site in Jersey for five years.
“We’re feeling reasonably confident at the moment that what we’ve got fits into the broader idea of … Magdalenian art,” said Chantal Conneller, the co-director of the Ice Age Project, in an interview with the BBC. The Magdalenians were a group of huntergatherers who recolonized Europe at the end of the last Ice Age, 16,000-13,000 years ago. “I feel reasonably confident it dates to sometime between 15,000 and 14,500 years ago,” Conneller said. Archaeologists will work to find the exact time period of Les Varines by analyzing and dating pieces of bone from the site. If the estimated timing of the site is correct, it would mean that the carvings predate the earliest known art found in the United Kingdom. The artifacts include stone engravings similar to those of the same time period from continental Europe, but these are the first to be found in the British Isles, according to the research team. Dr. Silvia Bello of the Natural History Museum, London, is currently analyzing the stone fragments. According to Bello, the stone artifacts are not native to the site and are shown to have been carved by stone tools. Archaeologists can use these artifacts to determine if there is any cultural similarity between the Les Varines site and other Magdalenian sites in Europe. Courtesy of Mike Peel / CC BY-SA 4.0

Three UA graduate students continue a 50-year-old tradition by exploring Mexico through biological research. Along the way they were guided by wildlife, good food and adventure BY Genevieve Patterson The Daily Wildcat
Sometimes science can come with great roadside burritos. At least that’s what happened when Tim O’Connor, Anthony Baniaga and Shea Lambert, three graduate students studying ecology and evolutionary biology, spent 12 days traveling through Mexico covering territory in Chihuahua, Durango, Coahuila, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato and Querétaro. The trip was in some ways carrying on a tradition begun by UA faculty 50 years ago, although this one was unplanned. “Independently, my adviser from [my] undergraduate [program] and Shea’s adviser and the person Shea is working with both went down to the same region in the ’60s, … and now, we went 50 years later,” Baniaga said.
The group has varied reasons for taking their research south of the border “Shea was interested in a group of fabulously colored lizards that live in the mountains of Eastern Mexico, while Anthony studies these crazy little plants that dry to a crisp in the extreme heat and aridity, but spring back to life within hours after a good rain,” O’Connor said. “I was trying to cover as much ground as possible in the lower-lying, creosote-dominated areas between the mountain ranges in order to survey the diversity of gall midges on creosote.” It turns out resurrection plants and creosote gall midges, small flies that induce abnormal plant tissue growth on creosote, can be used to understand the processes responsible for the vast diversity of life and the evolutionary history of the divergence of species, according to O’Connor.
“I study the creosote gall midges to understand how history and ecology intersect in the origin of species, and how large-scale forces play out at a genetic level,” he said. The gall midge is a good subject to study how new species form as a result of how quickly the species is evolving. Baniaga was interested in looking at the relationships between plants in Mexico and their close relatives in Arizona to understand their evolutionary histories. “I study a plant that’s an early diverging lineage of plants. It’s like inbetween a moss and a fern,” Baniga said. “They’re a very old lineage of plants, so they’ve been around for over 300 million years [and] … Mexico is a huge center of diversity for them. … For how much land there is, it is not well categorized, so there is a lot of unknown diversity.” The unique focus of each person
involved kept the trip from ever becoming dull, Baniaga said. “Either someone was super excited or they got us excited about what we were seeing,” he said. O’Connor, Baniaga and Lambert were not the only people involved in the trip. They also met up with Uri Garcia, a professor for the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and a collaborator of Lambert’s. Garcia played an important role in facilitating the trip and navigating through remote areas. Traveling through these remote areas sometimes led to unusual company. “We shared the road a lot with cows, donkeys and horses, who give zero cares about your plans to continue along the road,” O’Connor said. “Coming back from Sierra Gorda, one stopped us in our path down the mountain. As he galloped
away, he led us directly to the lizard that Shea had been trying in vain to find all day long. It was a quasimystical experience.” While research may have been the main reason for the road trip, the food may have left the greatest impression. “I really enjoyed eating tunas, the cactus fruit,” Baniaga said. “The food was great and cheap.” O’Connor said they had their best meal of the trip in Galeana. “Early on a Saturday morning, there were only two food carts open in the whole town, and we were ravenous,” O’Connor said. “We picked one more or less at random and had the most astoundingly delicious spread of gorditas. I didn’t know that kind of flavor was possible.” — Follow Genevieve Patterson @pattersong101

SolarCats treasurer Jordan Barrows stands next to his research project at Biosphere 2 on Oct. 10, 2014. Biosphere 2 donates its used solar panels to the club for its projects.
Solar Cats shine light on energy issues BY Natalie Robbins The Daily Wildcat
Imagine a solar-covered bench where you could relax outdoors and charge your phone. As a part of its initiative to increase the amount of solar energy around the UA campus, a student club called the SolarCats is setting its sights on a solar-powered charging bench for its members’ next project. The SolarCats are comprised of students interested in advancing solar energy on campus and around Tucson. The club attracts students from majors that are far outside traditional energy disciplines. SolarCats President Megan Montoya is a sophomore studying molecular and cellular biology and treasurer Jordan Barrows is a junior studying biochemistry and molecular and
cellular biology. The SolarCats originated in the Posada San Pedro Residence Hall when Dr. John Pollard, the hall’s faculty fellow, gathered a group of interested students to push for the installation of solar energy panels on the hall’s roof. “The club was called PSPSP, Posada San Pedro Solar Panels,” Barrows said. “They succeeded. They installed 40 [to] 41 solar panels up on top of Posada San Pedro, and that was kind of the flagship project. The club grew a little bit more, and they evolved into the SolarCats.” Since then, the group’s most recent completed project has been the sustainability mural located in the backyard of the Honors College’s Slonaker House. Beginning in 2013, the SolarCats started working on a
project to outfit the Parking and Transportation Services golf carts with solar panels. The original idea was to replace the roofs of two golf carts with solar panels and compare the usage and battery life of those golf carts to golf carts without solar panels. The project presented many problems. “One of the solar panels didn’t fit. We had trouble communicating, and the golf cart didn’t end up being used as much as we thought it would,” Barrows said. Due to these issues, the SolarCats modified their ambitions. “The scope of the project has changed a little bit into looking not so much at trying to collect data and more at looking into a review of how to do this type of project,” Barrows said. With the solar bench project, the SolarCats hope to create something
students can tangibly see. “They [students] will see that this panel is actually powering my phone. I can see it actually working as opposed [to how] they know panels are on campus, but they don’t know where they are,” Montoya said. For the project, the SolarCats will work with Biosphere 2, which has offered to donate its unused solar panels for the construction of the bench. As of now, the SolarCats are still in the planning and fundraising stages of the project. “You can sit there and there will be a bunch of outlets,” Montoya said. “We will generate the power during the day and hopefully store it in a battery during the night.” On top of their solar projects around campus, the SolarCats are also involved in community outreach. They have tables at events
such as Homecoming to engage both UA students and members of the Tucson community. They often bring a solarpowered water fountain with them to teach others how solar works. Their solar-powered nail polish demonstrations are also a hit. The polish turns from clear to pink when hit by the sun’s rays. “I am really interested in getting people involved and educated about how solar works and what it can be used for,” Barrows said. With students like those involved in the SolarCats, the future seems bright for innovation in solar technology in and around the UA.

Unbeaten teams vie for playoff BY Noah Sonnet
The Daily Wildcat
With only four games remaining in the season, it is still difficult to tell which teams will be in the college football playoff, as there are 11 that have yet to lose. Last week we saw many teams fall in the face of a truly tougher opponent. Many topranked teams were challenged early and were in need of a full game to pull away. Oh so close That’s what the Temple faithful will be saying after nearly knocking off top 10 ranked Notre Dame last Saturday. Notre Dame pulled away in the final minutes after it appeared that the Owls were on the verge of one of the best wins in program history. Temple was previously undefeated and had many under the impression they could be the non-Power Five school to get one of the new years six bowls. Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer carried the Irish once again, throwing for nearly 300 yards and rushing for two touchdowns. Kizer has impressed since coming in for the injured Malik Zaire in week two, the Irish haven’t missed beat and with a season-ending
game against fellow top 10 ranked Stanford, the Irish are still very alive in the race for a playoff spot. Top teams challenged The Pac-12 Conference surprises us every week, and last week was no different. Oregon beat Arizona State in a triple overtime shootout 61-55, both teams combined for over 1200 yards of offense as the teams traded scores all night. Elsewhere, both Stanford and UCLA were challenged by lesser opponents. After being down at the half Stanford needed a furious comeback and a potential game-winning field goal miss by Washington State to win. Colorado stormed back against UCLA after the Bruins blew an 18-point lead, keeping their hopes for a conference title still in tact. Here come the Cowboys The talk of Big 12 this season has been all about TCU and Baylor as the world of college football waits for the two to play in what will determine which team gets a spot in this year’s playoff, but all of that could change as Oklahoma State remains among the undefeated and looks to spoil the party.

‘Cats fight on through daunting schedule BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat
Wildcats’ competition remains stiff Arizona was dominated in every aspect of its 49-3 defeat to Washington, but head coach Rich Rodriguez insisted Tuesday that nothing has changed in the team’s demeanor, even after the blowout loss. “Everybody wants to act like the sky is falling,” Rodriguez said after practice. “The psychology of the team—I’ve got to try to get a pulse on that. But the more you talk about it, the more they start thinking about it. Our guys are
conscientious. It’s time to move on.” Rodriguez understandably doesn’t want to relive much of the blowout loss. The Wildcats sputtered all Saturday night as they couldn’t get much going on offense, while the defense allowed Washington quarterback Jake Browning to pass four touchdowns. What’s perhaps most troubling is that Arizona’s two quarterbacks, Anu Solomon and Jerrard Randall, combined for three interceptions. This weekend proves to be another big test for the Wildcats’ offense. USC’s defense leads the Pac-12 Conference and ranks No. 6 nationally
with a 1.25 turnover margin, meaning the Trojans force far more turnovers than they commit. Arizona, meanwhile, ranks No. 11 in the Pac-12 with a -0.44 margin. The Trojans also lead the Pac-12 in limiting opponents to a 36.6 percent third down conversion rate. “The biggest thing for us is that we’ve got to get first downs and get some momentum,” Rodriguez said. “We did that occasionally, but not enough to control the momentum of the last couple games.” Arizona actually tops the conference with a 47 percent conversion rate on
third down opportunities, but when it comes to getting scores in the red zone, the Wildcats have struggled mightily. USC receiver undergoes hand surgery The Wildcats could get a major break this weekend, as star USC receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was forced to undergo surgery for a broken right hand. The sophomore suffered the injury in USC’s victory over California last weekend. “It’s really a pain-tolerance thing,” USC interim head coach Clay Helton told local reporters Monday. “You’re talking

Arizona forward Hannah Wong (7) fights for prime position to hit a header during the Wildcats’ 2-1 win over Oregon State on Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 25. Wong is second on the team in shots on goal (16) and fourth in assists (3).
Hannah Wong (7), forward The Christchurch, New Zealander has had a longer journey than most college athletes. Wong was a member of the U17 Women’s World Cup team in New Zealand in 2010. She was the team captain and named most valuable player at Marian College in 2011. Wong went on to be a pivotal piece of the Wildcats’ offense in her freshman season, recording eight shots on goal in 12 total shots. She also contributed three assists in 15 appearances, including five starts. The New Zealand native took on a more crucial role right away in her sophomore season and started in every game. Wong took 21 shots including 10 on goal as she scored a career-high four goals. She took a step back on a crowded Arizona offense in 2014, but still recorded 16 shots with three on target. The senior has been a team leader this season, playing in all 18 games, scoring one goal, recording 16 shots on goal and assisting three scores. Wong was Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention in 2013 and 2014.

Arizona defender Sheaffer Skadsen (6) battles Oregon State forward Mariah Roggow (22) for possession Sunday, Oct. 25 on Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium. Skadsen has been a key contributor to a shutdown Arizona defense, allowing just a .092 shot percentage.
Arizona defender Hayley Estopare (23) keeps her eye on the ball after a jump kick during the Wildcats’ 2-1 win over Oregon State at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium on Oct. 25. Estopare is second on the team in goals (4) and third in shot percentage (.182).
Sheaffer Skadsen (6), defender Skadsen has been a pivotal piece of the Arizona defense since 2013. The Vancouver, Washington, native was ranked the No. 45 women’s high school soccer player in the country while playing at Skyview High School. She was also nominated for Gatorade Player of the Year twice and played in the Washington State semifinals. Skadsen played in just nine matches her freshman year at Arizona in 2012 but gave the Wildcats the defensive spark they were looking for in her sophomore campaign. Her junior season provided insurance that she was the impact player Arizona was searching for, as only goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman played more minutes. Skadsen played and started in 20 of 21 games and led the Wildcats’ defense in 2014. She has provided much of the same this season, playing in all 18 games while being a key contributor to Arizona’s eight shutouts, which are good for fourth in the Pac-12 Conference. Skadsen was named Pac-12 All-Academic First Team in 2013 and 2014, as well as CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team in 2014.
Hayley Estopare (23), defender/midfield The defensive standout from Bend, Oregon, came to Arizona already decorated in high school awards. Estopare attended Summit High School and was named Oregon Player of the Year in 2011, first-team all-state in 2012 and won the Oregon State Cup Championship every year. She took a back seat on the Wildcats’ roster in 2012 but started to shine during her sophomore season, attempting eight shots with five on goal, including her first career score. Estopare saw an astounding 1,415 minutes of action in her junior year and started 16 of 21 games. She added two goals and an assist and was a key contributor of the Wildcats’ defense. Through 18 games of action this season, Estopare has career highs with four goals, two assists and 10 shots on goal.

Stanford — The Cardinal dodged an upset against Washington State to improve to 7-1, as Christian McCaffrey led the charge with another game of over 100 yards. The No. 9 Cardinal remains the Pac-12 Conference’s last chance for a bid to the College Football Playoff, with so many teams ahead of them facing grueling schedules. But Stanford still has to win out, including a tough season finale against No. 8 Notre Dame.
2
Oregon — The Ducks edged out Wazzu for No. 2 in the North after their thrilling victory against ASU on Thursday. Oregon needs one more win to become bowl eligible and will have to find its stride against either California, Stanford, USC or Oregon State.
3
Washington State — The Cougars suffered another crushing defeat, as they were a missed field goal away from upsetting Stanford. How Portland State beat Wazzu by a wider margin than the Cardinal is a serious question that needs answering.

One team will become bowl eligible this week, as the Golden Bears head to Eugene for a showdown with Oregon. Washington — Huskies’ quarterback Jake Browning had six passing touchdowns all season heading into last weekend, but even he torched Arizona to the tune of four passing touchdowns. He’ll have to do it again if the Huskies have any hopes of knocking off No. 13 Utah at home this week. Oregon State — The Beavers lost again, but at least football season is almost over. Look on the bright side: basketball season is almost here and Oregon State does have the reigning Pac12 Defensive Player of the Year in Gary Payton II. So there is that.

Utah — A 10-win season is a real possibility for the Utes after defeating Oregon State 27-12 on Saturday. Their only tough matchup remaining is against UCLA on Nov. 21, which could end up determining the Pac-12 South. USC — Judging by the current state of Arizona’s defense, Cody Kessler might have more touchdowns than incompletions when the Wildcats come to the Coliseum on Saturday. USC is quietly only one game behind Utah in conference play, so keep an eye on the Trojans in November. UCLA — After narrowly defeating Colorado, UCLA faces an Oregon State team that is still looking for its first conference win.

Colorado — Always rely on the good ol’ Buffs to keep Arizona out of the Pac-12 cellar. Colorado lost a hardfought battle to UCLA 35-31, so it will at least have something to talk about at the end-of-season banquet. Colorado faces a November filled with four of the Pac-12’s most talented teams in Stanford, USC, Wazzu and Utah.

Arizona — One day, I hope to tell my grandchildren about the time College GameDay came to Tucson. Hopefully, they do not ask the result or what followed. On another note, consistently leaving the middle wide open on defense has been a bold move that still isn’t paying off. The Wildcats will need to upset USC, Utah or ASU to at least become bowl eligible.

Rich Rod hotline on speed dial BY JUSTIN SPEARS The Daily Wildcat
T
he pressure is mounting for Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez as he draws closer to the finish line of his fourth season at the Wildcats’ helm. Rodriguez is still in the prime of his career and nearly everyone on the team is a disciple of his recruiting; the hangover players from the Mike Stoops era are gone. With the success Rodriguez has had at Arizona—making a bowl appearance every season and leading the Wildcats to the Fiesta Bowl—why is this year the worst he’s had since taking the reins? Arizona is in jeopardy of losing out to end the season, but the Wildcats are losing more than just games. The recruiting classes of the future are looking more like the stereotypical Arizona football class. The toppings to a shameful sundae that was Arizona’s weekend were perfectly placed following the blowout loss to Washington. Fourstar defensive end Josh Allen decommited from Arizona on Sunday, eliminating the Wildcats’ highest ranked player behind offensive lineman Michael Eletise. Allen was supposed to replace Reggie Gilbert and be Arizona’s answer to the horrific pass rush. Chandler, Arizona, native N’Keal Harry committed to ASU on Monday following Allen’s

decision, giving the Sun Devils their third recruit ranked in ESPN’s top 300. ASU head coach Todd Graham has been with the Sun Devils just as long as Rodriguez has been with Arizona, and Graham is winning the recruiting battle. Arizona recruits the OKG’s, which stands for Our Kind of Guy, but unfortunately for Rodriguez, his kind of guys aren’t winning football games anymore. So with top recruits again shying away from Arizona and Rodriguez settling with the two-star and three-star players, there has to be something that Arizona fans don’t know. Is it because Rodriguez plans on taking his talents east? College football turns into a soap opera whenever it comes to changing coaches. It’s a
never-ending carousel, where there’s always an interesting tie to what they bring. Rodriguez brought the Arizona football program out of a ditch and changed the culture of athletics in Tucson. He placed Arizona football back on the map. But in typical Arizona football fashion, the program has hit a plateau. Virginia Tech will be looking for a head coach after Frank Beamer’s retirement, and that’s where Rodriguez will shine when it comes to recruiting, if he takes the job. Miami, South Carolina and possibly West Virginia will also be looking to fill head coaching voids in the offseason. Rodriguez was quick during Monday’s press conference in shutting down any rumors of him
leaving Arizona. “It is all rumors and speculation,” Rodriguez said. “I don’t think there are any coaches getting a call who are coaching a current team. But the speculation on the Internet and message boards and rumor sites is just speculation for anybody, not just me.” Other coaches are rumored to be on Virginia Tech’s checklist. Justin Fuente from Memphis, Tom Herman from Houston and Matt Rhule from Temple are all head coaches that revived their teams into the top 25 at some point this season, but Rodriguez is a head coach familiar with recruiting in the area. Being a former head coach of West Virginia, Rodriguez has mastered the recruiting hot bed in the Virginia area. It’s difficult to make trips to that side of the country and convince these players to play in Tucson. If he were at a program that’s already established and adding the hard edge to the Atlantic Coast Conference, then Rodriguez could return to his glory days on the East Coast. With just three games remaining, Virginia Tech can only hope Arizona loses out, which would leave the Wildcats out of a bowl season. If that become a reality, Virginia Tech Athletic Director Whit Babcock will call Rodriguez’s hotline bling. If the offer is handsome enough, Rodriguez might dance like Drake right on over to the Hokies. But until then, Arizona fans have to hold their breath until he denies the job. “Like I said, it normally happens at the end of the season, anyways,” Rodriguez said. — Follow Justin Spears @JustinESports
Track undergoes grueling challenge week BY Gia Trevisan
The Daily Wildcat
T
here is something unique about the end of fall for the sprinters on the UA men and women’s track and field team. Arizona sprinters started with an eight-week training cycle in the beginning of September that ended in a challenge week, preceding a physically demanding test week. The eight-week cycle requires consistent effort throughout its grueling workouts and early mornings. However, there was a silver lining: ending with a challenge week and seeing great test results. Since there aren’t any meets for the team until January, the challenge weeks were a great way for the sprinters to be competitive in a team-building atmosphere. “[Something] I noticed a couple
years back is the competitiveness and aggression level wasn’t as high [without a challenge week],” said Francesca Green, the Arizona track and field assistant sprint coach. “So by adding challenge week, it got the competitive juices flowing and really gave an opportunity for them to rise up to another level.” It was Green who implemented the challenge week three years ago. The week primarily consisted of oneon-one matchups between male and female sprinters. If an event seemed it could be something that a female or male could dominate, like box jumps, then it came down to who could hit his or her own personal best. There were two individual challenges per day and typically one team challenge per day. By the end of the week, whichever side had gained the most points—which are accumulated by individual wins, team wins and bonus challenge wins— would earn a special team dinner made by the coach.
The various challenges included who could hold a plank for the longest, do the most burpees in two minutes, hold a chin up position for the longest and push a 130-pound sled for 50 yards the quickest. One particular non-track-related event was a sand volleyball challenge. After the event, the sprinters said they had gained appreciation and respect for what the sand volleyball players do on a daily basis. “This challenge really showed how much strength you need to be able to move quickly and efficiently in the sand,” said Aaliyah Haggard, a redshirt sophomore sprinter. “It’s very tiring and takes a lot endurance.” Challenge week accomplished more than just physical and athletic improvements for the sprinters; it brought the teams closer together. “Challenge week helped me build a bond with some of my teammates,” said Sasha Jarrett, a freshman sprinter. “I feel that jumping my personal best in box jumps [also] gave me a certain mental
toughness because I didn’t think I would be able to do it. But with the support of my team, I was able because they filled me with confidence.” A gain of mental edge came with challenge week, but a particular benefit, according to Green, was the characterbuilding aspect. “For the girls’ team, I would say the biggest thing, especially with some of the new freshmen, I felt that they jelled together as a team,” Green said. “I thought there was great support [and] excitement [in] everybody through every challenge. No matter who they were going up against, [the girls] supported each other and gave each other confidence that they were going to win.” There was more camaraderie, confidence and competitiveness after the challenge week. During the test week, there have already been many personal bests in the weight room and on the track, Green said. “We started to have faith in our teammates’ abilities and strengths,” said Jasper Gray, a junior sprinter.
The women bounced back and defeated the men this year after losing at the event in 2014. “My hope is that [the men’s team] can understand the importance of staying aggressive no matter what the outcome is,” Green said. Challenge week is meant to create a competitive environment and bring unity to a sport that seems like an individual output. “I like challenge week because it adds fun to the hard training we do during the offseason,” said Bryce Houston, a junior sprinter. “It definitely brought us more together as a unit and a family.” Since the men had to deal with defeat, it brought them to learn to adjust to adversity and recognize their own weaknesses and strengths. “Most people think of track as an individual sport, but when it’s all said and done, we’re competing for championships as a team,” Green said. — Follow Gia Trevisan @g_trevs

He’s an absolute warrior and I know he’ll be back as soon as he can.” However, USC may not want to risk playing Smith-Schuster in what is expected to be a Trojans rout. The Long Beach native is perhaps USC’s top offensive threat with a Pac-12 leading 956 receiving yards. When asked about SmithSchuster after Tuesday’s practice, Rodriguez said he was unaware of the injury.
“He’s a really good player but they’ve got about 85 fivestars, so they’ll have a good one if he can’t go,” Rodriguez said. Indeed, USC has plenty of other weapons, including Adoree’ Jackson and Stephen Mitchell Jr. at wide-out and a handful of running backs who were all highly touted out of high school. Kickoff for Arizona against USC is slated for 8:30 p.m. on Saturday and will be televised on ESPN.
