James Bond (Daniel Craig) stares at an unseen adversary from across a chess table. Craig reprises his role as 007 for the fourth time in “Spectre.”

he first shot of the latest James Bond film, “Spectre,” throws down a gauntlet. The 53-year-old film series, the first installment of which, “Dr. No,” came out six years before man landed on the moon, has had the validity of its existence questioned in the 21st century. It’s tough to think of a stronger opening statement than an ambitious, several-minute-long tracking shot through an uproarious Mexico City on Día de los Muertos—what fortuitous timing, with the holiday just having occurred Nov. 1 and the film opening Nov. 6. Akin to another famous opening tracking shot, the one in 1974’s “The Conversation,” the “Spectre” camera hovers above the throngs and, at its own pace, works its way down, not clueing us in as to where we should direct our attention. We descend past a giant skeleton float, and, by the time we’re on ground level with the parade, our eyes are scurrying between vibrantly colored dresses and black-and-white skulls, looking for—Ah! Is that him, the masked

man in the pristine white suit? No; Bond (Daniel Craig) is the masked man in the pristine black suit with skeleton bones painted on, stalking the man in white. Of course he is; if anyone else wore the same outfit, it’d look like they scavenged for it in the bargain bin at Party City, but Bond makes it look slick. Again, all in one fluid camera motion, we follow Bond through the procession, into a hotel, up a few stories via elevator, into a woman’s room and then out onto the rooftops. The film finally cuts, and it’s an exhale followed by explosions, a building collapse and action theatrics with a helicopter. This segues into the trademark opening credits scene, backed by Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall.” Having purposefully avoided listening to the song until the film, but not being able to avoid the complaints—“it’s weird and slow” was the most cutting criticism— my reaction to the ballad was, “That wasn’t that bad.” The song is only one half of the opening, albeit an important one, with the other being the

visuals. In “Skyfall,” it was skulls and graveyards. In “Spectre,” it’s still skulls, but also a giant black octopus that wraps its inky tentacles around silhouetted feminine figures. The octopus is the symbol of evil organization Spectre, but it’s still disappointing that Bond doesn’t travel to Japan and dabble in some hentai. Bond’s unauthorized antics in Mexico City land him in trouble with M (Ralph Fiennes), who already has enough on his plate. As British intelligence steps into the era of drones and mass surveillance, the ‘00’ spy program, and the human element of espionage, face extinction. Likewise, the Impossible Missions Force was temporarily shut down for its “antiquated” methods in this summer’s “Mission: Impossible— Rogue Nation”; both of these franchises are all too self-aware of their perceived practicality in the present day and age. Bond’s working off the books on an assignment that the old M (Judi Dench) assigned to him from beyond the grave via video

message. With some help from the droll Q (Ben Whishaw, who thankfully has an expanded role) in escaping the watchful eye of the current M, Bond jettisons to Rome. He briefly liaisons with a sultry Italian widow, Lucia (Monica Bellucci), and this is the first hiccup. While we should be up to our eyeballs in carnal chemistry with Bellucci—she oozes Bond girl—and Craig, their interactions feel awkward, if not an eye-rolling attempt at “being sexy.” Bond then crashes a meeting of the organization that he will come to know as Spectre. Here, we’re introduced to the two villains, both of whom have striking entrances— no good villain has ever entered a film blandly. The built-like-a-ton-of-bricks henchman Mr. Hinx (Dave Bautista) presents his credentials as an assassin by killing a man seated right at the table with nothing but brute force and his own two hands. He has the savage, solid physicality of Bane from “The

Dark Knight Rises,” if not any of the quotable lines. In a hand-to-hand fight between him and Bond on a train, I recoiled at how hard the hits fell. Ernst Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) also need not say anything when he arrives. When the floor-to-vaulted-ceiling doors open, everyone falls silent for the silhouetted figure whose face drops off into shadow. Visually, it’s one of the richer scenes in a film chock-full of them, thanks to cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, who’s also responsible for “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” and “Interstellar.” Bond traverses the globe and makes a discovery shocking to both him and the series. Mr. White and Le Chiffre from “Casino Royale,” Mr. Greene from “Quantum of Solace” and Raoul Silva from “Skyfall” all were a part of Spectre. In one fell move, “Spectre” has attempted to unite itself and the previous three films into one quadrilogy. The only problem is, you can’t retroactively make connections that weren’t present in the first place. It feels hollow and tacked on; the effort needs to be holistic, like what Marvel has done with their cinematic universe. You can tell that this was never the intent back in 2006 with “Casino Royale.” Standing at the center of this afterthought of a wide-ranging conspiracy is Blofeld. I’m still not quite sure how it’s possible, because Christoph Waltz as a bond villain is a no-brainer, but his character doesn’t work. The film noticeably loses steam around when Bond and his companion/charge Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) arrive at his evil lair in the middle of the desert. There are more twists and revelations about Bond and Blofeld’s relationship, which also don’t work because, again, they’ve scarcely been alluded to before. Everything about Blofeld is a throwback to the Bond villains of old: the lair, paper-thin motivation, stroking his lap cat, strapping Bond to a chair to torture him with some overly designed device. The series, which has forged new territory with Craig, is going backwards. Waltz doesn’t even do much with Blofeld, underplaying him to a fault. The most charismatic thing about the character is his wardrobe; he bizarrely wears slip-on shoes with no socks, his bare ankles exposed as he rolls around on a wheelie chair as he tortures Bond. The film has been hedging its bet on its finale, but it doesn’t pay off. “Spectre” has phenomenal entrances. The film opens with a bang, and the villains appear menacing. However, we think they’re going to be so much more than what they actually end up. Some reviews have called that “Spectre” may be the death knell for the series. That’s a gross exaggeration—especially considering how much money it will make. “Spectre” is not a bad film, and it’s certainly entertaining. I rank it firmly below “Casino Royale” and “Skyfall,” but, of course, above “Quantum of Solace.” I just hope I can rank the next one higher.

All Souls Procession BY Victoria Pereira The Daily Wildcat

All Souls Procession: Possibly Tucson’s most iconic annual event of the year, the 2015 All Souls Procession takes place Sunday, Nov. 8. A tradition that invites participants to embrace their cultural backgrounds and honor those who have passed on, the All Souls Procession is a gigantic parade that overtakes the streets of downtown Tucson. From the most elaborate floats to casually dressed pedestrians, anyone and everyone is welcomed and encouraged to join in the procession and celebration. The procession begins at 6:30 p.m. after a pre-parade concert at the North Sixth Avenue underpass and will wind its way through town to the grand finale concert and celebration at the Mercado San Agustín on Congress Street. There will be free face painting at the Hotel Congress before the procession begins, where artists will be adorning patrons in the style of calaveras. There will also be the Procession of Little Angels for children Nov. 7, the day before the large procession. The events are Tucson’s special way of honoring loved ones who have died while also celebrating the wonders of life.

Nonprofit class makes a real difference BY Sam Gross

The Daily Wildcat

Over 1,000 students from the Eller College of Management will disperse throughout Tucson on Nov. 6-7, converging at over 60 different sites to perform volunteer work as a part of Eller College’s Make a Difference Day. Make a Difference Day is organized and led entirely by Eller College students enrolled in a nonprofit management class taught by Pam Perry, the associate dean and undergraduate programs director for Eller College. Students are responsible for everything from logistics to seeking out the actual programs they work with. “We ultimately plan the entire thing with Pam’s guidance,” said Emily Bell, a senior studying business management and entrepreneurship. “Our class is pretty much the only ones who do most of the planning.” Bell said that the class is comprised of about 30 students, who are then segmented into 10 sub-committees and charged with various roles in the planning process. She is a part of the engagements committee, tasked with finding actual volunteer sites. Eller College has partnered with United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona, in lining up its efforts with United Way’s overarching project called Days of Caring.

impressive thing. They can get a lot of work accomplished and really better their community. … We just want to encourage them to give back.” According to Meredith Bode, the manager of events for United Way, Eller College is “definitely the biggest contributor” out of all of the organizations sending volunteers. United Way has 156 projects throughout Southern Arizona for its Days of Caring, and Eller College students will lend a hand at over 60 more sites around the city. Volunteers from Eller College will primarily focus their efforts around local schools, but students will also be sent to community gardens, low-income housing, animal shelters and food banks. “I think it’s really good, not only for the image of Eller—showing that really we do care about the community. This is a big part of who we are,” said Natalie Smith, a finance junior and the site manager for one of the Make a Difference Day projects. “But also, it’s a really good way to organize and get more people involved in the community who maybe haven’t thought about that before.”

“We just want to get the students engaged in their community,” Bell said. “It makes a huge difference—over a thousand Eller students going out there, that’s a pretty

Web presents new frontier of security risks BY Ava Garcia

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona State University was made aware of threatening messages written online Sunday about its campus. The messages alluded to a potential attack on the ASU campus, and later made generalized threats toward an Arizona university without specifying the institution. According to an ASU press release about the incident, police were able to track down where the unsubstantiated threat came from and determined it to be from a 12-year-old child in Canada. The press release stated that, had the threat been substantiated, the police would have released information with procedural instructions to ASU faculty and students. While the threatening messages did mention an Arizona institution without naming a specific university, the UA did not receive a credible threat Monday, according to Chris

Sigurdson, the vice president for Communications at the UA. “Every university is going to make their own decision,” Sigurdson said. “We received the same information that [ASU] did, that there was a threat to a university in Arizona, and in consultation with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, we did not discern a credible threat to the [UA].” Unsubstantiated threats are nothing new to universities. “President Hart has called these the bomb threats of the 20-teens, because it used to be that we had bomb threats back in the ’70s, where people would call them in to interrupt university business and to interfere with schools,” Sigurdson said. “Eventually, you would almost get them during midterms and finals from students who didn’t want to take an exam in the building.” Sigurdson has attributed the motivation for these threats to a desire to cause disruption to the

business of the university, or to a desire to see a reaction to a threat. While the medium in which the threats are delivered has adapted to the technology of the time and is now usually over the Internet instead of over the phone, Sigurdson said that the results of the threat remain the same: disruption of university business regardless of the threat’s credibility. The UA has yet to receive a threat online that Sigurdson would deem credible. According to Sgt. Fil Barrera, the public information officer for the University of Arizona Police Department, the department has an extensive, multi-level process for assessing the credibility of threats to the UA. The threats can be traced by IP addresses to the service provider and from the provider to the computer terminal of the address. Barrera said he thinks that this is what the ASU police department did to find out who was behind the threat

it received. Even when threats are not considered to be credible, Barrera said that UAPD investigates them with the utmost seriousness. “We’re always going to err on the side of letting people know rather than not,” Barrera said. Barrera especially emphasized the value of mass communication within the school for help in dangerous situations. He alluded to the 2002 shooting on the UA campus, before which no threats were posted online. “The things we learned from that [were] to basically mass communicate—that’s why these things are in place now,” Barrera said. “The UA is way ahead of the game [now].” Part of these efforts of mass communication include the UAlert system. The system sends out an alert if there is a threat on campus that people need to know about. According to Sigurdson, there is also the UA Campus Emergency

Response Team, which can send help if assistance is deemed necessary. While there is no official position at the university exclusively dedicated to monitoring the Internet for threats, Barrera said that there are federal and state agencies that do monitor the Internet and inform the university when they find threatening material. Sigurdson said that sometimes people outside of the police and other agencies inform the university about the threats they’ve seen online. This falls along the lines of the kind of reporting to the authorities that Sigurdson appreciates, he said. “We would much rather people on campus tell us if they see something suspicious and let us check it out than be unsure or unconfident about whether or not they should say anything,” Sigurdson said. “Nobody gets in trouble for a report in good faith.” — Follow Ava Garcia @ava_garcia_

UA considers D2L replacement system BY Andy Alvarado The Daily Wildcat

Students may have noticed an article on their D2L news feed in the last week titled “Request For Proposal for a Learning Management System.” The Request For Proposal, also called an RFP, is a way for the UA to ask competing vendors to put forth their products to improve the university. In this case, the UA is seeking the potential replacement of its current primary learning management system, Desire2Learn, or D2L. “The main reason this RFP is happening is to answer the question: Which learning management system is the best fit for the UA?” said Mark Felix, director for Instructional Support at the UA, during a Q&A meeting Wednesday. The meeting, which various staff, faculty and students attended, aimed to present the reasons for switching the service, answer questions about what the change would involve if it were to happen and gain feedback to help the transition process run more smoothly. Felix implied that just because

an RFP is underway, a new learning management system is not guaranteed. “We’re just trying to make sure that D2L continues to be the right fit [for the UA],” Felix said. The continued use of a serverbased system similar to D2L and the benefits of open-source and cloud technologies were among the topics discussed at the meeting. One of the potential vendors could also be one of the other learning management system platforms used less frequently by UA students. Among those systems—D2L, Blackboard, Moodle and Canvas— D2L hosts the most users, “with over 80 percent of the university’s courses using it,” according to Felix. He also said that the names of potential vendors must remain private to keep the voting process more objective until next May, when the new system would begin its trial in classrooms. The RFP designates a group of 20 faculty members and five Associated Students of the University of Arizonaaffiliated students as the voting panel for the various learning management system propositions given to the UA

by interested vendors. The panel is looking for is a system that meets five general criteria: course improvement, its ability to help the UA achieve wider goals, the difficulty with installing the new system, its ability to promote community service and the cost of the product, which is thankfully the least of their concerns, according to Felix. In order to keep the process confidential, details have been kept under wraps. During the Q&A, one student asked if there were any “specific features” being considered. “I’m not particularly sure if I’m allowed to answer that question,” Felix said. However, he did say that “there are some uniquenesses, [between platforms, that pay] heavier attention to writing instead of grading,” and that the university pays special interest to those. The process of searching for a new system began 15 months ago, when Faculty Affairs asked the campus faculty community “to review what our technology solutions look like, related to teaching and learning,”

Sustainability Employer Panel & Networking Event

jesus Barrera/The Daily Wildcat

Mark Felix, director of instructional support for the Office of Instruction and Assessment, speaks about which learning management system is the best fit for the UA on Thursday, Nov. 5.

Felix said. Faculty Affairs sent a letter out to faculty members and formed a group to undertake the review. Their goal was to answer the question: “How can [UA affiliates] all make sure we’re using the best tools?” The review team spent over a year creating the UA Learning Ecosystem Report, which explored various aspects of the university’s learning environment, like learning spaces and UAWifi.

The idea of change with regards to swapping out D2L for another system has been a major point of concern among UA affiliates. “This has definitely been the primary topic—the concern about the number of hours and the usage, and what that would translate to if the switch was done,” Felix said.

Hip, young techies not vibing with GOP BY graham palace The Daily Wildcat

ith the 2016 presidential election a year away, the campaign season is in full swing. The news is filled with headlines about who “won” each debate, which candidates are leading in the polls and what slip-up statement each candidate is trying to recover from. Everyone from Anderson Cooper to your great-aunt Carol is talking about the election. But something no one seems to be talking about is the candidates’ relationship to the tech industry, and that’s something we should definitely be talking about. The tech industry is booming. With more than 80 startups valued at over $1 billion and thousands of Americans employed in the field, it’s no surprise that Silicon Valley has become the hot new spot for presidential hopefuls to drop by and take a photo or two. Jeb Bush hopped in an Uber and visited Thumbtack, a startup connecting service providers to customers. Hillary Clinton hosted a discussion with group of entrepreneurs at the headquarters of fooddelivery startup Munchery. Marco Rubio spoke at 1871, a tech incubator. While both political parties are taking part in this “tech-tour,” only one has been

met with a warm welcome. The tech world is full of young, left-leaning engineers and entrepreneurs. The reality of the industry is that the majority of Americans working in tech are Democrats. For example, when Bush requested to stop at Thumbtack, the company’s CEO was confused. He noted in an interview with Wired that out of his 130 employees, “zero to one” would vote for Bush. They agreed to the stop, not because they supported Bush’s campaign, but because they would get free publicity and exposure. This is a huge problem for the GOP. On the surface, it doesn’t look like an election-losing problem. So a bunch of programmers in the Valley don’t vote Republican, who cares? There are plenty of other voters in America. The GOP’s real problem is that it isn’t able to hire any of the country’s top liberal tech talent. Why would they “sell their souls” and work for the political party they oppose, where it would be their job to do everything in their power to get a candidate elected that they wouldn’t even vote for? Most people might imagine that a campaign’s tech team is there to create a website for the candidate, maybe build an app or two. In reality, the team’s role is much more critical to the campaign. Data scientists and programmers come together to analyze data from across the Internet, allowing them to determine things like what demographic the campaign should target, which TV ad got the best response and where the next

campaign stop should be. In 2012, the importance of a campaign’s tech talent played out in real time. Mitt Romney’s campaign built a tool called ORCA, designed to automatically target expected voters who hadn’t been to the polls yet, and call them to encourage them to go vote. Unfortunately, ORCA crashed and burned on Election Day, while Barack Obama’s campaign votertargeting tool worked without a hitch. This disparity is often cited as a key factor in Obama’s victory, and was caused by the Obama team’s emphasis on recruitment of top tech talent more than Romney’s campaign. In the end, Romney had a lackluster team and broken software, while Obama had an all-star team, a working tool and a second term. So has anything changed since the last election? Not at all. Clinton called in the victorious team from Obama’s 2012 campaign and brought in heavy hitter and former Googler Stephanie Hannon to lead the charge. Meanwhile, Scott Walker had the most promising tech team of the Republican Party—until he dropped out of the race. None of the other GOP candidates have a team that can even come close to Clinton’s. Nothing has changed in this tech battle

“

because nothing has changed in the two parties. The Republican Party still leaves a bad taste in the mouths of Millennials and, unfortunately for the GOP, those Millennials are exactly the people it needs to hire if it wants to catch up to the Democrats before Election Day. The liberal world of tech just doesn’t align with the conservative ideals of the GOP. And when even promises of good pay aren’t enough to bring liberal tech talent to the dark side, the Republican Party is in a tough spot. Sorry Jeb, but taking rides in an Uber and dropping by hot startups isn’t enough to convince the tech world that you’re on its side. But it does show that you’re scared—and you should be. It will take a fundamental shift in the GOP to win over the Valley, and without its support, the Republican candidates are competing with one hand tied behind their backs.

And when even promises of good pay aren’t enough to bring liberal tech talent to the dark side, the Republican Party is in a tough spot.”

Amber Rose perfect woman to lead the SlutWalk by jessica suriano The Daily Wildcat

special SlutWalk hosted by model, actress and singer Amber Rose took place in Pershing Square in Los Angeles on Oct. 3. SlutWalk empowers women to look gender inequality and double standards about

sexuality straight in the face and proceed to flip them off. Many have called into question whether Rose is an appropriate advocate for this movement in America. However, there couldn’t be a more qualified person to speak on this subject. Evidenced by her past relationship with Kanye West and her past marriage to Wiz Khalifa, Rose is no stranger to the images and reputations rap music seems to advocate. In

fact, during her SlutWalk this year, Rose cried onstage while addressing the crowd after she repeated a song lyric Khalifa wrote about her: “[I] fell in love with a stripper … but fell outta love quicker.” Although that time in Rose’s life is long gone, it is still perceived as acceptable for “a stripper” to be Rose’s only identifier, even by her exhusband. Rose endured another incident of public slut-shaming

when West stated during a radio interview that he had to take 30 showers after his relationship with Rose before sleeping with current wife Kim Kardashian. Since both of these slutshaming statements have come from famous rappers, Rose is often accused—even by West himself—of using publicity from these statements and the status of these exes to further her own fame. Similarly to the music industry, the film industry

allows men to flaunt promiscuity, while the women they lust after are labeled as sluts or the ones lacking class. The men of “Magic Mike” portray the highest level of desirability; women ranging anywhere from middle-aged to preteen literally drool at them in their seats. While these actors’ physiques depict a stereotypical, testosterone-packed image, most of the characters in “Magic Mike” aren’t just seen as sexual

Teaching to the test still not productive by cooper temple The Daily Wildcat

ny of us who studied in Arizona before college distinctly remember the process of Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards testing, during which teachers would spend weeks preparing us specifically for the reading, writing and math sections of the state’s preferred standardized test. This process is not unique to Arizona—standardized tests have been prevalent nationwide for decades, with their use increasing significantly after former President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act required yearly testing in every state. Tests that are de facto mandatory for college entrance—like the SAT and ACT—have also become more important for entrance into increasingly competitive universities. Students have simply accepted this as part of our educational system, but is standardized testing really the best method for ensuring that students are grasping the material? President Barack Obama argued against standardized testing last week, when he said, “When I look back on the great teachers who shaped my life, what I remember isn’t the way they prepared me to take a standardized test.” Obama also argued that teachers are spending too much time teaching for the tests. This takes away from the creativity and innovation that can come from original ideas. As a result, the president has chosen to enact a policy requiring public school teachers to spend no more than two percent of class time on standardized testing.

but rather indicates a difference in learning style and personality. Discriminating against those who have trouble with standardized testing sets them up to fail from an early age. Instead of placing emphasis on memorizing material specifically for the purpose of getting a favorable score on a high-stakes test, it would better suit both students and teachers if learning were structured to help the students, not to help them try to prove their intelligence to the government. Some testing, of course, should remain in place, as it encourages revision of the material and provides a reward system for students. The weight placed on these tests, however, is far too great. The current system encourages multiplechoice, cut-and-dry answers throughout adolescence, when in reality the world is much more open-ended. Categorizing students as failures based on their scores from several arbitrary tests crushes confidence, discourages curiosity and stifles creativity.

As of now, according to NPR, American students take an average of 112 standardized tests between prekindergarten and 12th grade. Specifically, the change will be overseen by the Department of Education, which will offer extra money in the form of grants to states that review their testing requirements and remove unnecessary exams. Hopefully, this new aspect of education policy will help to remove some of the unhelpful procedures that were established during the Bush administration. Standardized tests— often defended as an ideal, objective way to compare students— rarely end up being fair. Instead, they consistently act as a disadvantage to foreign students and students with learning differences. These students are still required to take the same tests as others, yet often perform poorly due to their external circumstances. Furthermore, students’ scores on state-mandated tests are often included as part of teachers’ performance reviews, meaning a teacher could be fired if the testers perform poorly. Yet, as any student knows, everyone learns, memorizes things and takes tests differently. If a student freezes up during an exam and receives a failing grade, it doesn’t mean they aren’t intelligent,

actually come into question.

Because Rose has experienced slut-shaming first-hand and for the majority of her life, I cannot think of another person with the personal motivation and public

Skadsen the ideal fit for Arizona BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat

If you hear someone barking out defensive instructions during an Arizona soccer game, there’s a good chance it’s Sheaffer Skadsen. The vocal senior defender is the team’s centerback and represents the Wildcats’ last line of defense. She not only clears potential scoring threats, but she also keeps the rest of the defense in check and has become a model of consistency, as she has played the full 90 minutes in all but one of Arizona’s games this season. As the leader of a defense that ranks in the top half in nearly every statistical category in the Pac-12 Conference, Skadsen’s play is a major reason for the team’s 12-4-2 overall record this year. Skadsen has become a star, but not even she thought that her college career would unfold the way it has. The UA didn’t originally seem to be Skadsen’s first school of choice, but Kaitlyn Lopez, a current teammate and fellow senior, convinced her to at least visit the campus. “I was not sure I was going to come here,” Skadsen said. “Kaitlyn Lopez actually—I played [Olympic Development Program soccer] with her—was always texting me and calling me, like, ‘You need to come, you need to come.’ ” The Washington native figured it wouldn’t hurt to give Arizona a shot, and it didn’t take her long to fall in love with the school. “And so at first, I was like, ‘Why not [visit]?’ ” Skadsen said. “And literally the first day I was on campus and I saw the palm trees and our facilities and everything—I committed that same weekend.” Skadsen was excited to join Lopez, but the start of her career at Arizona wasn’t quite as bright as she expected. She played in just nine games as a forward and recorded 167 minutes in her freshman season. She spent most of the time on the bench, which was unfamiliar territory for a player who was the Oregon ODP Player of the Year and the Region Player of the Year in high school. “I’m used to playing,” Skadsen said. “So not playing and not really feeling like a part of the team—on the field, at least—really made me feel out of place. I [didn’t] know if this [was] the right fit for me or where I [wanted] to be.” It wasn’t a great year for Skadsen or the program as a whole. Arizona finished 6-11-3 overall and 2-7-2 in the Pac-12. Then-head coach Lisa Oyen was fired after the season. Not only was she doubting her place in the program after the lack of play in her first season, but she also had to adjust to an

entirely new coaching staff just a year after enrolling. Oyen, after all, was the coach that recruited Skadsen. “It was weird because I didn’t know what [Oyen being fired] meant for me,” Skadsen said. “I didn’t play a lot my freshman year, and so I didn’t know if the new coaches wanted to come in with new kids or if I was going to be with these coaches for three more years.” The school would hire Tony Amato from

Stephen F. Austin to be the team’s next head coach, and he quickly realized he didn’t have any centerbacks. “When the new coaches came in and we were in a meeting, … they [asked everyone], ‘What position do you play?’ ” Skadsen said. Skadsen, then a forward, jumped at the opportunity. “When I was younger, I played centerback for ODP, and so I was like, ‘Oh, I have before,’ ” Skadsen said. “And I pretty much

sealed my own fate with that one. So I’ve been at centerback ever since.” The extremely vocal then-sophomore turned out to be the ideal fit. “That’s always why when I was younger, I was put back there, because I am vocal,” Skadsen said. “And so they said this would be a good position for me.” Arizona has compiled a record of 32-198 in the three seasons Skadsen has played centerback. The team has consistently had one of the better defenses in the conference, and Skadsen was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week in September. Since 2013, a year after Skadsen’s recruiting class joined the program, Arizona soccer has transformed from one of the worst programs in the conference into one that is currently in the top three in the standings. “I’m just really proud to have been a part of it,” Skadsen said. “My [recruiting] class is the last class that got a taste of being on the other side of the fence, and so I’m just proud.” The Wildcats will take to Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium for senior night Friday against ASU. “It’s so sad. You never realize that you’re at the end until you actually hit it, and this whole season, I’ve kind of tip-toed around the idea of this being it for me,” Skadsen said. “We build our identities around soccer, and our lives. [Soccer] has run our lives the last 20 years.” The end is always closer than it appears, so Skadsen had some advice for her teammates that will soon be in her position. “Play every game like it is your last,” Skadsen said. “Because you don’t realize until you get here that it really is your last game, and you don’t want to look back and regret games that you didn’t give your all.” Skadsen’s class will have to pass the torch to its younger teammates, and she said she’s convinced the next era of Arizona soccer will take the program to an even higher level. “I know this team will go further beyond what we’re even going to do this year, and I’m excited to say I was a part of the building process,” Skadsen said. “We really started at the bottom and have scratched and clawed our way up to the top, and I really think that this team will get there.” But, in the end, it will be Skadsen’s recruiting class that started it all. “I’ll always be able to look back at Arizona soccer and say, ‘I helped build this,’ and I love that,” Skadsen said. — Follow Ryan Kelapire @RKelapireUA

Time to play with nothing to lose BY Kyle Hansen

The Daily Wildcat

Only one thing should be on the Wildcats’ minds as they head out on the road again: bowl eligibility. Arizona (5-4, 2-4 Pac-12 Conference) needs one more win to become a bowl-eligible team. Fourth-year Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez has taken his team to a bowl game in his first three seasons with the program, but this one is in jeopardy. The Wildcats face a difficult road test this weekend as they travel to Los Angeles to take on a red-hot USC. The Trojans (5-3, 3-2) have gone 2-1 since firing head coach Steve Sarkisian in mid-October, and have picked up impressive victories over Utah and California in their last two games. USC is currently playing the way Arizona needs to play from here on out: with nothing to lose. The Wildcats have faced enough adversity throughout this season with a difficult schedule and a plethora of injuries consistently bothering the team. It is time for the ‘Cats to step up and show how much they want it. Rodriguez thinks the Wildcats can live up to the hype of playing at a prestigious football school, like USC, with the hopes of picking up a bowl-birthing victory. “It’s a team that obviously has that brand name: they’re playing at the [Los Angeles Memorial] Coliseum, it is a nationally televised game,” Rodriguez said in a press release. “More than anything, to go out and compete on that stage—I would be disappointed severely if we

rizona Athletics Director Greg Byrne is at the most crucial point in his career, and it involves a decision about football head coach Rich Rodriguez. The Wildcats are at a frustrating 5-4 record with only two wins in the conference against teams that will most likely miss out on the bowl season. Since Arizona is playing horrifically right now, it only makes sense for Byrne to approve Rodriguez’s departure before the end of his contract and let him go on his own to another program.

didn’t give our best effort because of that.” Arizona was put into this dire situation of needing a win after getting blown out by Washington last weekend. The Wildcats will return home to play Utah after traveling to Southern California this weekend, before traveling to ASU for the final regular-season game. Arizona will be heavy underdogs in all three of those games, so it is time for the Wildcats to step up and play for pride. “I think we know what we have at stake,” wide receiver Cayleb Jones said in a press release. “We have three very important games left that could really revive our season, and whether

it’s USC, ASU, Utah or whoever we happen to play, we are very capable of doing that. It is just something we have to do.” USC enters this week having endured its own disappointing season. The Trojans came into this season ranked No. 8 in the AP preseason Top 25, but were upset by Stanford in the Coliseum in week three, which sparked an unwinding that was tough to swallow. USC has seemed to regain their footing since then, however, including easy work of then-No. 3 Utah in a 42-24 blowout two weeks ago. The Trojans’ rebirth could be in part due to quarterback Cody Kessler’s improved play, as he has gone on to complete 70.4 percent of his

passes for 2,268 yards and 18 touchdowns with only five interceptions on the season. After watching Washington State’s Luke Falk, UCLA’s Josh Rosen and Washington’s Jake Browning dominate Arizona, Kessler is looking to have a field day against the Wildcats’ pass defense. USC will be without Kessler’s top target, JuJu Smith-Schuster, who has proven to be a viable weapon for the Trojans. Smitch-Schuster underwent hand surgery earlier this week, according to the Los Angeles Times. Look for Rodriguez to once again search for an answer at quarterback after last week’s demolition at the hands of the Huskies. All signs point to Anu Solomon, who will look to turn his season around in November. “He has played at a high level before and he will play at a high level again,” Rodriguez said of Solomon in a press release. Thursday’s injury report showed running back Nick Wilson (knee), linebackers Derrick Turituri (hip) and Scooby Wright III (foot), and offensive linemen Jacob Alsadek (concussion) and Freddie Tagaloa (knee) are ruled out for the trip to USC. Arizona enters this weekend as a 19-point underdog, but anything could happen with this team and in the Pac-12. “When adversity strikes, there are three things that happen,” Rodriguez said in a press release. “You either fight, flight or freeze. We are going to fight.” Kickoff for Arizona at USC will be at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Coliseum. — Follow Kyle Hansen @K_Hansen42

Rich Rodriguez said talks of him leaving are only rumors, but the Daily Wildcat debates whether he should jump ship after his fourth season in Arizona Let’s be real, Arizona is not a coaching destination. The Arizona football program is a stepping stone to one that has a great resume of winning on a consistent basis. Plus, it’s difficult to attract recruits to Tucson. So having Rodriguez leave the program now will save Byrne the trouble down the road, just in case the current situation takes an even bigger turn for the worse. Rodriguez proved he could win at the national level last season when he took the Wildcats to the Fiesta Bowl. Just imagine what he can do with a program like Virginia Tech, Miami or his exemployer, West Virginia. He can still maintain his buddy-buddy romance with defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel and the 3-3-5 defense can thrive much better in the Atlantic Coast Conference than the Pac-12 Conference. If Arizona’s season keeps nosediving, then Rodriguez needs to bite the bullet and say, “Bye Felicia,” to Greg Byrne.

ich Rodriguez brought Arizona football out of the Pac-12 Conference gutter, made it relevant on a national level and led the Wildcats through their most successful season since Dick Tomey was in town. There’s no reason to believe he can’t do it again. Rodriguez turned an irrelevant West Virginia program around and made it relevant on a national level, as it was one win away from a national championship birth in the 2007-2008 season. The Wildcats’ head coach similarly led Arizona out of the depths and into its firstever Pac-12 Football Championship Game, just one win away from the program’s first bid to the Rose Bowl in just his third season. The Wildcats weren’t supposed to defend

their Pac-12 South title this season, unless you ask anyone in Tucson, but they were supposed to be a contender—not a team hovering around .500 in November. With all that said, the blame doesn’t rest solely on Rodriguez’ shoulders. Arizona has endured—or at least done its best to endure—more injuries than you can count this season. Go ahead and count them. I’ll wait. You can stop yourself after you get through the best defensive player in the country, Scooby Wright III, and starters Anu Solomon, Nick Wilson, Trey Griffey, Tyrell Johnson, Cody Ippolito, Carter Wood and Trevor Wood. The fourth-year Wildcat is right where he belongs: with Greg Byrne, dangerous offensive weapons, a recruiting class that just played in a Pac-12 Championship and paired with defensive specialist Jeff Casteel. Rodriguez doesn’t need a new school. He needs a healthy team.

Rivalry awaits Arizona on senior night BY Ryan Kelapire

The Daily Wildcat

Alex mcintyre/The Daily Wildcat

Arizona defender Hayley Estopare (23) beats Oregon State midfielder Gwen Bieck (9) to a header on Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium on Oct. 25. Estopare will walk onto the field with five other seniors hoping to pick up one final win over rival ASU on senior night.

The final game of the regular season for No. 23 Arizona women’s soccer is here. The Wildcats will host rival ASU (88-1, 4-5-1 Pac-12 Conference) on Friday night at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium in a game that certainly has plenty of meaning. Arizona (12-4-2, 6-3-1) is No. 17 in RPI, and while a win would cement the Wildcats with a top-three record in the conference, it would also make the Wildcats a virtual lock to host an NCAA Tournament game next Friday. “We’re looking forward to this game against ASU—then hopefully hosting an NCAA Tournament game in the first time in the history of the program,” Arizona head coach Tony Amato said. Finishing in the top half of the conference, let alone the top three, is something that many thought would never happen for Arizona. The Wildcats’ current goal is to close out the regular season with a victory to ensure a tournament game next week, but Arizona knows the significance of finishing in the top three of the Pac-12. Amato acknowledged the fact that many people within the department and a lot of people outside of the program

questioned if Arizona could ever finish in the top half of the conference. “And as it stands today, we’re sitting third in [my] third season, just behind two very, very good programs that have won national championships,” Amato said. The head coach said that, in light of all the current senior class has gone through in its time in Tucson, the seniors will definitely get the recognition they deserve Friday during senior night. “[Our seniors] had to come into a new coach and new ways and a different way to look at things,” Amato said. “But all of our seniors bought into everything we wanted to do, and that’s why we’ve been successful. If you don’t have seniors that will be leaders and support the coaching staff, you can’t be successful. And credit to them; they’ve not only done it on the field, but they’ve also been leaders along the way.” While there will be plenty of festivities to celebrate the six seniors’ careers, the Wildcats have to be ready to play from the start against ASU. Arizona has been bitten by slow starts this season, and the Sun Devils are currently one of the hottest teams in the conference. The Sun Devils had a shaky start, going 4-7 in their first 11 games, in part

because they were without star player Cali Farquharson for several games. She has since returned, and the Sun Devils have won four of their last five games. Arizona’s rival has improved its health while the Wildcats have had to battle the injury bug in some key players as of late. The team’s leading scorer Gabi Stoian (quad) and usual starter Charlotte Brascia (head injury) both missed Arizona’s games against Colorado and Utah last weekend. While their conditions have improved, Stoian and Brascia still have yet to fully participate in a practice. Stoian will be a game-time decision while Brascia’s status is unclear, but it seems unlikely she’ll play. ASU and Arizona have split their last two matches together, with the home team winning each time. The Wildcats are certainly hoping history will repeat itself in this rivalry game, but as with every Wildcat-Sun Devil showdown, it should be a close and hard-fought match. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. and the game will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.

Wildcats tired of letting teams off the hook BY Brandon James The Daily Wildcat

Arizona is back in McKale Center to take on Washington State on Friday and Washington on Sunday after losing in four sets to Stanford and defeating California in four sets last weekend. Both teams should present challenges to the No. 19 Wildcats. Washington State (14-10, 3-9 Pac-12 Conference) took then-No. 2 USC to a fifth set and was two points away from knocking off the top Pac-12 team, while No. 3 Washington (20-2, 10-2) was able to hand the Trojans their only loss of the season. “It’s [going to] be, I think, a really competitive weekend, as they seem to all be,” said Arizona head coach Dave Rubio. Arizona (15-9, 5-7) has dropped eight of its nine losses against opponents ranked in the top 10. It is becoming a repetitive storyline for Arizona volleyball, but one the Wildcats know will not go away until they prove they can beat an elite team. “We’re not sustaining a level of play long enough to be able to win three sets,” Rubio said. “We can do it for a set, set and a half, maybe two sets.” The match against Stanford last weekend was a perfect example of what Rubio was referring to. Arizona had control of the match after losing

the first set. The Wildcats won the second 25-19 and had a 13-9 lead in the third. Arizona was not able to maintain the high level of play, though, as Stanford stormed back to steal the third set and win the fourth. “We had Stanford on the ropes again and we let them off the hook,” Rubio said. Middle blocker McKenzie Jacobson said the

team has been working on being able to close out top-ranked opponents during practice. She said the team has been working on maintaining concentration, always keeping the intensity level up, making sure the players are always communicating with each other and focusing on the little things. Going into the end of the season and the

NCAA Tournament, Jacobson said it will also be important for the team to be able to focus on every point regardless of what happened on the point before, so the Wildcats won’t find themselves struggling in matches like they have in the past. Rubio said the emphasis at practice has changed with the end of the season in sight. “Right now, we’re in the home stretch,” Rubio said. “We have four weeks left of competition; practices get shorter. We start to really not teach as much, even though I’m always teaching.” Rubio has been working to get his players to perform without thinking as much, something he said he believes is an important component of playing well. Rubio said he hopes his team will peak at the right time. Arizona is in the middle of the Pac-12, currently No. 7 in the standings with a 5-7 record. Though they are ranked No. 19 in the Coaches’ Poll, Arizona is only 49th in the RPI rankings. Finally getting a win over a top 10 ranked opponent like Washington on Sunday could help Arizona improve its rank, but the Wildcats have to be prepared and ready to play Washington State before thinking about the pesky Huskies. — Follow Brandon James @brandojames57

‘Cats hope goalie change sparks success BY Seth Pines

The Daily Wildcat

A shake-up is in order for the Arizona hockey team, as head coach Chad Berman alluded to last weekend after the team dropped both its games to Oklahoma. Berman confirmed sophomore goaltender Austin Wilson will get the start for the Wildcats on Friday night as they take on Colorado State (5-6-0) at the Tucson Convention Center. Berman couldn’t confirm if Wilson would be between the pipes Saturday night as well. “Wilson’s going to go Friday night and we’re going to go from there,” Berman said. Wilson, who has appeared in five games this season, said he is ready to seize the opportunity. “To get the first game [of] the weekend is definitely something. As a goalie in a battle, that [is what] you look for,” Wilson said. “It gives me the opportunity to fight for the second start on the weekend.” The goaltender played solidly in his last appearance against Oklahoma on Halloween night, stopping 36 of 38 shots. Wilson didn’t receive any goal support, though, as Arizona fell 2-0. Colorado State is currently No. 13 in the ACHA poll, but has lost four of its last five games. However, Berman expects the Rams to

bring a full 60-minute effort to both games this weekend. “They’re a team that’s not going to overwhelm you with skill, but they will constantly pressure you,” Berman said. “They come at you in waves and they work hard consistently. They’re a team, frankly, that we haven’t matched up very well with.”

This weekend’s series also marks Arizona’s Military Appreciation Weekend, where the Wildcats will sport camouflage sweaters and honor those who have served in the U.S. military. “I think this weekend also means a little more when you’re wearing the camouflage jersey,” Berman said. “It’s important that these

guys understand who they’re representing when they wear that. To me, it’s a greater responsibility to go to work, and hopefully we can represent the military well.” The Wildcats will need their bottom two forward lines to step up and generate opportunities for a stagnant offense that has scored only seven goals in their past six games. Among the forwards looking to make an impact this weekend is sophomore Matt Reed. “We’ve got a chance to beat a team that’s kind of been struggling, and I think that … we should come out and get a sweep at home this weekend,” Reed said. Reed will be a key presence for Arizona on the penalty kill and will provide a boost of energy for the team this weekend. The Wildcats allowing Wilson to become comfortable in the net in the opening period will be another key to Friday night’s game. The majority of Wilson’s appearances this season have been in relief of Garrett Patrick, who has played lights out. Arizona’s defense will need to keep Colorado State at bay to allow Wilson to sink into his groove and help guide the Wildcats to a much needed win.

Kiva Strand from Scott & Co. Zi Yang LAi/The Daily Wildcat

Kiva Strand, bartender at Scott & Co., prepares a drink for a customer Tuesday, Nov. 3. Strand enjoys learning how to make new drinks.

BY Emma Jackson The Daily Wildcat

Daily Wildcat: Where are you from? Strand: I’m from Tucson. Did you go to [the UA]? I went to the UA briefly. I also went to Pima [Community College], and I’m taking time off of school right now. And have you bartended anywhere else before? I bartended briefly for brunch at Penca, and then I started working at 47 Scott, and now I’m at Scott & Co. and 47 Scott. So, do you serve at one and bartend at the other, or what’s the difference between 47 Scott and Scott & Co.? It’s the same owner, so the 47 Scott side is the restaurant side and then Scott & Co. is just a bar, so I do both.

Do you have a favorite drink to make? Honestly, I like making drinks that I’ve never made before. There’s quite a few that I’ve never made, so that’s pretty exciting when they order something that I’ve never actually made yet. Currently, my favorite drink is a Coin Toss. It’s a classic cocktail. It has rum, yellow Chartreuse; it’s really delicious. So, when a customer orders a drink that you’ve never made before, what do you do if you don’t know how to make it? Sometimes I have to check the recipe if I’ve never made it before, but sometimes, if they order something I’ve never heard of before, I’ll ask them what’s in it and make sure I’m making it correctly. A lot of drinks you want to make sure that you’re getting everything correct and how the guest wants it. A martini, for example, could be made so many

different ways, so you want to make sure you’re making what the guest is expecting—if they want a traditional martini with gin and dry vermouth, or just chilled vodka in a martini glass. People have such a wide variety of expectations for martinis, so I definitely like to clarify before I start making it just to make sure.

cooking, but it’s blending the two. It’s blending cooking and the frontof-the-house interaction with guests, so you’re creating something while serving.

What’s your favorite part of bartending here? I like all the interactions I get with all the guests. … I like that people are amazed with the simplicity in pouring a drink. It’s kind of like a show that people get really excited about.

Do you guys do any special events here? We’re opening for the All Souls Procession this upcoming Sunday. We’re usually closed on Sundays, but we’re going to have some punches, and following the All Souls Procession we’re going to open Sunday nights now. We’re going to have discounted drinks. We’ll start being open every Sunday starting [Nov. 8].

What made you originally decide you wanted to start bartending? I started working in the restaurant industry about five years ago, and I just was curious about all kinds of positions in the industry, like serving and bartending. Bartending I found interesting because it’s similar to

Do you have any examples of a memorable customer? When I first started, I was still kind of feeling everything out, and this girl came in to order a “New Orleans hot summer day sitting on the front porch.’” And I had to just make up what would fit that description.

Did you ask her? That’s all she gave me. So she didn’t care what was in it, she didn’t care what spirit I chose—she just wanted to see what I made with that. So do you think that’s fun, just getting to make up what you think the drink is? It is fun, yeah. I wish more people would do that, because it forces you to get creative. … It forces you to be flexible and really think about the ingredients. What do you like being at this bar compared to the last bar you bartended at? I like the freedom that we have to experiment, we can really do whatever we want drink-wise.

HIDDEN GEMS

BY Justice Amarillas The Daily Wildcat

Fourth Avenue never fails to please its customers with its exciting food venues, and that tradition continues with one of the newest, unique and must-try cuisines served up at US Fries. Located at 340 N. 4th Ave. and across the street from the Hippie Gypsy, US Fries has only been open for a little over a year. Owner Thomas Jones moved to Tucson from Canada to start a business selling poutine, a traditional Canadian dish. Poutine consists of french fries covered in brown gravy and slow-melted Wisconsin

cheese curds. In fact, poutine is so popular in Canada that many fast food chains such as McDonald’s have it on their menu nationwide. US Fries also offers different variations on this classic such as Sweet BBQ Pulled Pork Poutine, Cheeseburger Poutine, Vegetarian Poutine, Pork 3 Ways Poutine and many more. Of course, the traditional dish doesn’t have to be tried first. “I would like to say yes [to starting with the original], but once you try the others, you can’t go back to the original,” said line cook Joe Tenschert. “The Philly Cheese Steak Poutine should be tried first.”

Nick Smallwood/The Daily Wildcat

Customers dine at US Fries, located at 340 N. Fourth Ave. on Wednesday, Oct. 28. US Fries brings a traditional Canadian poutine and ecclectic variations of the dish to Tucson.

Since opening a year ago, US Fries has successfully gained traction, with the franchise expanding to Tempe. Many customers return to share their love for the exotic meal and bring along friends to try it for the first time. Poutine isn’t the only thing on the menu. Burgers and fried cheese curds are also served along with Tucson’s own Eegee’s for those in need of a cold treat

during a hot Fourth Avenue stroll. US Fries also offers an enticing atmosphere with three televisions and a retro ambiance with 1960s music. Though furnished with an upscale menu monitor and soda machine, the food venue offers a homey feel through its intimate space. The staff also take great care in providing the best assistance and customer experience.

“I don’t know of anywhere else in Tucson or Phoenix that does what we do. No one sells poutine,” Tenschert said. “If people want to try something different, something new, something unique, they should definitely stop by.”

Home cooking at Mother Hubbard’s BY Kristine Bruun-Andersen The Daily Wildcat

Mother Hubbard’s Cafe embraces Tucson’s rustic personality while providing food that tastes just like mom used to make. At first glance, Mother Hubbard’s looks like a “dive” cafe with older fixtures, wooden tables and booths and a slightly messy, unorganized look. However, these features draw in customers who are looking for a “homecooked” breakfast. Around 10 a.m. on a Saturday, Mother Hubbard’s was pretty crowded, but customers were seated quickly because of the large amount of seating. The laminated menus looked outdated and were smeared with syrup—something the waitress could have cleaned up before placing them on the table. However, the menu’s lack of style quickly took a back seat to Mother Hubbard’s large selection of food. The menu included traditional options like eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and fruit, as well as dishes inspired by Tucson’s Southwestern flavors like the pueblo greencorn waffles, which are spicy, fluffy and served

Mother Hubbard’s Cafe, located at 14 W. Grant Rd., illuminated under street lights on Thursday, Nov. 5. The diner has a quaint, rustic feel, matched by food that tastes homemade.

with eggs, red chili and house-made sausage. Other one-of-a-kind dishes included the Calabacitas scramble, which tasted fresh and savory as it was made with corn, squash, tomatoes and a sliced, ripe, green avocado. The dish was topped with homemade salsa and presented a fresh, healthy and delicious vegetarian option. One of the most memorable parts of the

entire meal was the crispy, thick-cut bacon. Its sweet aromas filled the entire restaurant—just like being home and waking up to the smell of bacon simmering on the stove. However, Mother Hubbard’s did fall short in a couple of areas. The place could use a good makeover. Although it does give off a homey feel, at times Mother Hubbard’s just seemed outdated and

old—not the description of a place you’d want to eat food from. The food did taste fresh, though, and the restaurant itself looked clean and sanitary. In terms of pricing, customers will usually pay $10 or less for a meal at Mother Hubbard’s. Even though the food is delicious, one might consider eating in a newer, more modern environment for that price. Mother Hubbard’s needs either a new style or to lower its prices a tad to match the restaurant’s laid-back breakfast vibes. Overall, Mother Hubbard’s is a comfortable, local and delicious brunch stop with a friendly environment and great food. Customers can expect to find unique dishes, especially ones that provide a bit of spice to start off the day. This cafe is the perfect place to get a local, home-style breakfast. It is located only a few minutes away from campus, at 14 W. Grant Rd., making it the perfect weekend stop for students. Feeling homesick? Stop by Mother Hubbard’s to get a quick taste of comfort mixed with rich, spicy and savory flavors. — Follow Kristine Bruun-Andersen @Kristine_B_A
