Over 1,500 vote early on campus
BY ROCKY BAIER @prof_roxy
On the final day of early voting for the No. 8 election, an hour-long line filled the hallway leading up to the Associated Students of the University of Arizona office. The line was filled with many voters who were voting for the first time. “I’m voting because it’s my first time voting and people fought for my right to vote, so
I should go through with it,” said Sabrina Huaraque, an undeclared freshman. “I think the most important part is getting out and actually voting.” Pooja Dutta, a pre-business freshman, shared Huaraque’s sentiment, and said voting is an important way of being involved with the community. “This [election] just happens to be very historical because there’s so many different views and people in the election that you don’t

usually see,” Dutta said. Lauren Pisani, a biochemistry sophomore, said she did not want to share her political views while waiting in line to avoid a debate due to the controversy surrounding the election. “I prefer to keep it private,” Pisani said. “It’s my personal opinion and I don’t think others should try and influence that.” Tucson resident Edgar Texas also said he feared sharing his

political views, but that the fear came from the election as a whole. “I would say something I’ve noticed about this election is how it’s brought in different opinions, and they seem to be strong,” Texas said. “[Saying] I was voting for Trump was something I was [hesitant] to say because it’s a strong opinion for somebody who’s voting for him, but like I said, I’m completely against Hillary,

With early-voter turnout showing Hillary Clinton ahead, Joseph Garcia, director of the Morrison Institute Latino Public Policy Center at ASU, evaluates Latino voters’ impact on AZ’s battleground status How could the Latino vote influence Arizona?
BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
Arizona may be a battleground state this presidential election, but it has not turned the state blue, according to Joseph Garcia, director of the Morrison Institute Latino Public Policy Center at Arizona State University. Garcia earned a degree in journalism from the UA and taught at the School of Journalism on campus. He said according to polling done by the Morrison Institute, Arizona is in play this election for the first time since 1996—the last time, coincidentally, that Arizona voted Democrat. A major concern for the Donald Trump campaign will be Republican voter turnout, Garcia said. Both of Arizona’s sitting U.S. Senators have declared publicly they will not vote for Trump. Garcia said such a hostile attitude toward the top of a party ticket is rare and could hand Arizona to Hillary Clinton if enough Republicans stay home on election day. Early voting ended in Arizona on Nov. 4 and the initial results show Clinton in an unusually strong position. Close to two-thirds of Arizonans casted their ballots early and this year, 4,000 more ballots from registered Democrats were received than Republicans, according to CNN Politics. Four years ago, Arizona Republicans had a 20,000 ballot advantage. Energized young Latinos, who are registered to vote in greater numbers thanks to campaigns such at Voto Latino,

helped significantly raise the early voting turnout among that demographic, according to Garcia. He said Arizona leads the nation in increased Latino early voting. Increased early voting among young adults also indicates Clinton may perform stronger in the state than historically expected. Garcia said this election’s ballot initiatives drive more nontraditional young voters to the polls. Many young adults work in the service industry, according to Garcia, and voting “yes” on Proposition 206 would directly raise their minimum wages to $12 by 2020 and guarantee paid sick leave.

Proposition 205 seeks to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Arizona. Garcia believes that the criminal justice ramifications from legalizing a substance whose possession has disproportionately incarcerated people of color and Latinos will drive young minorities to the polls Nov. 8. Garcia said educated women in Arizona may be drawn to vote in greater numbers because of the historic nature of the Clinton candidacy. Maricopa County’s controversial sheriff race will also likely draw more voters, especially minority voters, to the polls in Arizona’s largest county.
While Republicans have a strong, consistent voting base in Arizona and control many of the statewide offices as a result, the generally increased turnout of a presidential election year always favors Democratic candidates, Garcia said. The Clinton campaign, seeing a unique opportunity to turn Arizona blue, scheduled multiple high-profile early voter rallies in the state and bought television ads. The Trump campaign responded to Clinton’s play for Arizona’s electoral votes by buying television ads, sending Dr. Ben Carson and Donald Trump Jr. to campaign in the state on his behalf, and hosting a rally of his own in Phoenix. Clinton’s Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine, First Lady Michelle Obama and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders all hosted rallies in Arizona as well. Garcia believes these campaign visits were not designed to sway undecided voters because, in his opinion, few exist. Instead, these rallies focused on increasing voter turnout, not expanding prospective shares of the vote. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Clinton only a 25.8 percent chance of capturing Arizona. Yet, the most recent poll out of the state, conducted on Nov. 2 by SurveyMonkey, shows the race tied. Garcia said the candidate who wins Arizona will be the candidate who most effectively drums up their base and persuades their supporters to bring a friend and head to the polls on Election Day.

Party like a politician: Watch results in Tucson BY ELIZABETH O’CONNELL @_eoconnell
With election night sneaking up quickly, organizations around campus and Tucson will be hosting viewing parties for the public to attend. The Pima County Democratic Party will host its viewing party at the University Marriott beginning at 7 p.m. At the same time, the Pima County Republican Party is having its event at the Sheraton Hotel on Grant Road. There will be a viewing party hosted by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the Women’s Resource Center on campus. “Come Nov. 8, we are co-hosting a viewing party and discussion with the Women’s Resource Center from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.,” said Spencer Bateman, ASUA’s government affairs and policy executive director. “It is going to be us along with all the cultural centers on campus.”
Bateman said the department takes responsibility for better engagement on campus and advocacy with policy makers in the cabinet. In addition to watching the coverage of the election, each group attending will give a 10-minute report on how the result of the election will impact their community, according to Bateman. “Cultural centers will be speaking about their identity communities and ASUA will be talking about the effect on higher education and students as it relates to funding,” Bateman said. ASUA originally planned to host a party before the Women’s Resource Center approached ASUA with this idea, according to Bateman, but could not pass up the opportunity to work with all of the different groups. The viewing party will be located in the Women’s Resource Center on the fourth floor of the Student Union Memorial Center and anyone can attend.
ASUA held a special election to fill seats left open after two senators quit earlier this semester BY ELIZABETH O’CONNELL @_eoconnell
The Associated Students of the University of Arizona filled two vacant senate seats with the election of Katelyn Hilde as the Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health representative and Aaron Varela as an at-large representative on Friday. ASUA held the special election to fill seats left open after two senators quit earlier this semester. Varela, a marketing senior, just narrowly won the at-large senate position by 10 votes over Stefano Saltalamacchia, who ran for executive vice president last semester and lost after a contentious election cycle. “It just comes to show we had a lot of quality candidates running, and I’m honored and humbled that the university chose me,” Varela said. Varela said he supports the other candidates’ platforms and would love to incorporate those ideas into his own. He said he plans on stepping up and finding answers related to student fees, such as what they are and are they

necessary. Varela wants to be an ally because he understands students work multiple hours a week to pay for college and these fees can appear random. Varela said that when he first arrived on campus as a freshman, he was not involved in clubs or organizations. It wasn’t until someone pushed him toward clubs that he finally emerged as a leader in his fraternity, and now ASUA. After his own experience and talking with freshmen, Varela created an idea of starting a mentor program with resources to help freshmen become involved, gain experience and emerge as leaders. For Hilde, a public health senior, it was a no-brainer to run for the College of Public Health senate seat.

She said since no one else was running for the position, she didn’t want her college to be the only one without a representative. “I am actually applying to law school right now, and so I thought this would kind of give me an in to seeing the aspects of law,” Hilde said. Hilde said she does not think a lot of Public Health students know there is even a Public Health representative in ASUA, but she aspires to be a resource for them. Since she filled the position, Hilde hopes students come to her office hours and take advantage of her position. “I’m just excited for the future of UA,” Varela said. “I have a semester and a half left, and I better make a difference.”

BROTHER JED PREACHES AT Heritage Hill on the UA campus on Monday, Feb 22. Campus preachers are no stranger to the UA Mall, and with the 2016 election rhetoric heating up voters, the Dean of Students Office has launched a campaign to educate the UA community about First Amendment protections on campus.
Dean of Students asks you to #speakyourpeace With the 2016 election and a constant stream of campus preachers and student advocates, the Dean of Students Office hopes to educate the UA community on protections on campus BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall
The UA Dean of Students Office launched #speakyourpeace this fall, a campaign aimed at teaching students, faculty and staff about First Amendment protections on campus. University campuses—especially public entities like the UA—are environments that have the potential to act as “marketplace[s] of ideas,” some of which might not resonate with whoever is listening and therefore lead to adverse responses. Kathy Adams Riester, associate dean of students, said the UA wants to encourage dialogue on campus about difficult or controversial issues, but in a way that is nonviolent and enables people to safely have conversations. “I think it’s important to know that while we might not like what someone else is saying—it might be hurtful, it might be rude,” Riester said. “To our value system, it might be unacceptable. But without having that kind of speech, we don’t see movements of social change occurring. We have to allow those things we don’t like in order to have the ability to talk about the things that are really important.”

Students, faculty and staff can use the hashtag “#speakyourpeace” on social media to show how they’re practicing free and respectful speech.

POLICE BEAT BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1
Doesn’t need help University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to an area near Ring Road and Warren Avenue for a welfare check on Oct. 25. A man was lying near a brick wall by the intersection, and Banner University Medical Center security said he had been harassing people at the hospital earlier. The man did not identify himself to officers and looked to be in a lot of pain. He was curled in a fetal position while speaking with officers. The officer tried to get help for the man but the man said he wouldn’t accept help from Banner University Medical Center because they had wronged him and he wanted to go to a different hospital. The officer tried to get the man evaluated by UAEMS or Tucson Fire Department several times, but the man refused and asked the officer to leave him alone. The man told the officer he didn’t want his help. The man said he would leave if he was on private property, and though the officer did not tell the man to move or that he was on private property, the man started walking away. The officers went into the Emergency Department and staff there said the man had started to check in as a patient there three time that day but left each time because they would not give him pain medications before being seen by a provider. Friend problems Officers from the UAPD responded to a report about an extremely intoxicated woman in Coronado Residence Hall on Oct. 24. Officers and UA Emergency Medical Services went to the room where they found the woman sitting on the floor of a bathroom by the toilet. The woman had vomited earlier and she told UA EMS that she had drank alcohol earlier at a fraternity but she was told not to say their name. Tucson Fire Department arrived and medically cleared the woman and she denied transportation to a hospital. The woman said she drank too much Vodka from a large bottle at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. She said she was friends with them and didn’t want to get them in trouble. According to the report, she was crying but was sometimes calm during the discussion. The woman was diverted for minor in possession of spirituous liquor in body. SAE received an FYI through the Dean of Students.

so when I find someone voting for her then I’m very opinionated.” Some voters were more focused on local races and propositions than the presidential election. Mallory Roeder, an economics junior, said she cared more about raising minimum wage and legalizing marijuana through the two propositions on the ballot. “At least, for me, raising the minimum wage is something I care about,” Roeder said. “I work as a hostess at the Senae Thai Bistro. We shouldn’t be lowering people’s wages, we should just be discounting other things around businesses like rent.” Jesse Lewis, an applied biosciences graduate student, was also more interested in other parts of the election than the presidential decision, and said Proposition 205 would be beneficial for the economy if it were passed. Pisani said his biggest fear is that we don’t really know what is going to come.
“The candidates can say everything they want to say and what they plan to do,” Pisani said. “But what actually is going to happen is very, very unknown and unsure, and that’s scary.” Lewis, on the other hand, did not share that fear. “I think we have the chance to have some drawbacks in the future depending on the election,” Lewis said. “But, realistically, the government is such a big machine, it doesn’t change that drastically depending on who’s the figurehead.” Texas expressed the same lack of apprehension and trust in the system of government, such as how the Senate will also make decisions. He believed that what’s going to happen is going to happen. “Worst comes to worst, someone gets impeached or in four years, they’re out,” Roeder said. “I don’t think in four years the country will be burning.” Registered student voters who did not vote early can vote on campus in the First United Methodist Church on Park Avenue and Fourth Street on Nov. 8.

answers to your ques ons about sex and rela onships
The withdrawal method, also known as “coitus interruptus,” is documented as far back as back as the Biblical story of Onan.
How can a guy tell he is coming and is it possible to always withdraw in time with practice? The withdrawal method may be the oldest form of birth control since it requires nothing more than interrupting intercourse to prevent sperm from entering the vagina. In fact, withdrawal is so basic, people often don’t think of it as a real option. Like any form of birth control, using withdrawal to prevent pregnancy is only as effective as its practice, which requires men to “pull out” at some point prior to ejaculation. Most men are able to anticipate ejaculation from the sensations they experience – the difficult part is pulling out in time in the heat of the moment. Although you and your partner are unlikely to be checking vital signs during sex, there are also well documented physiological changes that occur as part of the sexual response cycle, including increased heart rate, breathing and blood pressure, among others. With practice, these signs and sensations can be identified, allowing men to know when to pull out to reduce the chances of pregnancy. While it is commonly written off as a “last resort” birth control strategy,
withdrawal can be quite effective if done correctly. This is a big “if” that has a lot to do with experience, selfcontrol, body awareness and the degree of trust that you and your partner share. Studies show that for every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 4 will become pregnant each year if they always do it correctly. Among less than perfect users, 27 of 100 women will become pregnant each year if they don’t always do it correctly. After considering all the options, you might consider opting for birth control pills, condoms or another method based on your preferences. Of course, one of the great advantages of the withdrawal method is that it can used in combination with any other form of birth control to further decrease the chances of pregnancy. Regular SexTalk readers will be reminded that withdrawal, like many contraceptive methods excluding condoms, offers no protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Violent burials may point to a history of blood A UA bioarcheologist believes a number of haphazard burial sites scattered through the U.S. and Mexico may be the legacy of inter-group blood feuds in the ancient world. BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1

Watson said there are both started to notice several atypical biological and social motivations for burials. Watson said that out of violence.

Phelps said she would like to do more statistical analysis and find more burials to help prove or disprove the theory. “What Dr. Watson’s working on is sort of a new stuff that they’re finding,” said Tim Price, a former archaeologist and currently the retail operations manager at the Arizona State Museum. “So it’s kind of an exciting thing among archaeologists. We don’t know a lot about it.” Watson said archaeologists have learned much information about this time period within the last decade, but there is still plenty to learn. Watson said he will continue to focus on this time period, and that there’s more to understand about how health was impacted during this time period, with violence being a part of that. “The more we find, the more we can know for sure,” Watson said. After the early agricultural period, violence doesn’t seem to have been a major factor in this area, which may have been because of possible social mechanisms within societies like the Hohokam that could have prevented violence and blood feuds, Watson said. This kind of evidence speaks to one of Watson’s takeaways from his research when looking into how this research applies today. “I think that one of the bigger lessons is that there are social mechanisms that can help manage this type of violence, and that’s really I think where we need to look,” Watson said.

“Over 70 percent of the patients who undergo cancer treatment have some sort of physical defects and we need to look at that as part of our survivorship, to help people with that,” Cance said. Cance also hopes to expand clinical trials to a wide variety of patients in order to provide the best and latest drugs to the widest group possible. “The main value of Dignity Health system is called ‘Human Kindness,’” Cance said. “They walk the talk at Dignity and that’s a great fit with cancer programs, because we’re dealing with people who have had a life-changing diagnosis and they need lots of human kindness. All patients deserve to be treated by an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.” Thanks to the hard work of Kraft, the UACC was designated a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center this September. In order to receive the designation, a facility must meet criteria set by the National Cancer Institute, according to Cance. Some of the criteria include having interdisciplinary research in cancer across areas such as basic science, population health and translational science. Cance also said that a facility needs to serve the population where it is located.
Because the UACC had already missed its NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center grant renewal twice due to lack of permanent leadership, Kraft was faced with a seemingly impossible deadline. “I had to pull the UA Cancer Center together in one year, something you’d normally only do over five years,” Kraft said. The grant itself, which is $17 million of federal money, follows a rigorous renewal process every four-and-a-quarter years, Kraft said. As the only NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center in the state of Arizona, the UACC has the ability to provide patients with new drug therapies, advanced care and state-of-the-art treatment. The recent accomplishments in areas such as cancer prevention, drug development and imaging are too numerous to cite, Kraft said. Some of these efforts include a grant from the Breast Cancer Research Foundation focused on outreach to the Latino community and a program centered on melanoma research. “I think growing a cancer center and making an impact on the cancer problem is a big team effort,” Kraft said. “We need the population of Arizona, including the students, to step forward and do their part.”

OPINIONS Make the minimum wage livable again Monday — Tuesday Nov. 7 — Nov. 8 Page 11
Editor: Scott Felix opinion@dailywildcat.com (520) 621-7579
BY LEAH GILCHRIST @leahcgilchrist

oting “yes” on Proposition 206 to increase minimum wage will benefit Arizona by bringing a better quality of life to those who struggle to live on minimum wage. The minimum wage in Arizona is currently $8.05, which is just above the national average of $7.25. With the passing of Proposition 206, Arizona’s minimum wage would be raised to $10 by the end of 2017, and raised in increments to $12 until 2020. Not only will the minimum hourly wage be raised, but eligible employees will also have the right to earn paid sick leave from their employers. As we’ve seen over the last 10 to 20 years, the cost of living has been inflated, leaving much of Tucson feeling as though its turning pockets out just for necessities. These days, not even $100 goes very far when purchasing the basic things needed to live. The last federal increase in minimum hourly wage was in 2009, when it was raised from $6.55 to $7.25. A person working a 40-hour work week year-round in a minimum-wage job is expected to make approximately $15,000 a year. Minimum-wage workers make just enough to stay above the poverty line in the U.S.; however, staying above the poverty line doesn’t necessarily mean making enough to make ends meet. Working mothers would benefit from the increase in wage and the ability to gain paid time

off. Paid sick days would allow mothers to go into the workforce knowing they have the ability to take a day off to care for a sick child. Paid sick days would also allow Americans to take days off when they are sick, instead of being overworked or coming to work when they’re sick to avoid being fired. Increasing the hourly wage would impact the lives of over 75 million Americans, or 60 percent of the American workforce, according to a U.S. Board of Labor Statistics study from 2014. It’s not so much that we’re asking to give a raise to people who work these jobs as we are asking to give what was once
rightfully paid out to employees with an hourly wage. Politicians have struggled to pass legislation for an increase in minimum wage due to myths surrounding the consequences of the increase. One of the most common arguments against raising it on a federal level is that it would cause small businesses to cut jobs and leave Americans out of work. Businesses have argued bankruptcy presents too much of a threat to increase their wages. However, increasing the minimum wage will not bankrupt businesses. In many cases, the hourly wage of minimum-wage workers makes a small dent in the profit of a

large national corporation. The corporations have been making most of the negative noise, arguing that increasing the minimum wage would be bad for their business. Small businesses might see more significant change, but rising businesses would likely see little change. Recent research shows that most businesses would adjust over time to the wage increases with potentially increased profits from the greater productivity of their employees. Based on the idea that minimum wage hasn’t been adjusted properly to the inflation of the dollar, large national corporations are actually getting away with paying
their employees less than they once were. If Proposition 206 were to pass this election season, it would benefit working-class America. Raising the hourly wage would take the burden off the shoulders of Americans working overtime just to make enough to have a meal and pay rent. Increasing the minimum wage might have steep initial stages and consequences, but it would benefit the working class long term. It would better serve a greater part of the American workforce and allow a better quality of life for citizens of Arizona, and in the long run, the nation.

PROP 205 WOULD LEGALIZE marijuana use in the state of Arizona for those 21 years old and older. The proposition would regulate its use and tax its sale to support K-12 education and state-run drug and alcohol treatment.
Arizona safer for children, it would better their education starting at a young age. A concern that many have about marijuana is its safety for the people consuming it. There has never been a death directly correlated to marijuana consumption— unlike alcohol and cigarettes, which are the cause of thousands of deaths each year across America. Alcohol and other drugs are known to evoke violence in the user, but marijuana is not known to do that. Nor does it cause a chemical independence like alcohol, nicotine and even caffeine. Regulating marijuana would make the drug safer for the users, too. People can’t be sure what they are getting when they purchase marijuana on the black market. This is when marijuana can be unsafe for the user because dealers can
lace the marijuana with other drugs. Marijuana would be tested, labelled and sold at dispensaries under Proposition 205 in Arizona. Skeptics worry the drug will impair people, promoting job loss and high volumes of motor vehicle accidents. However, it cannot be purchased under the age of 21, individuals may not drive under the influence of marijuana, it cannot be smoked in public and businesses can make their own policies about its use by their employees. Marijuana, when legalized, is safer for the high volume of. By having the government regulate the recreational drug, it creates revenue for the state through taxes, which improves Arizona schools and helps drug and alcohol addicts.

Q&A BY GRETCHYN KAYLOR @notsowild_cat
Anna Pulley, a writer, tweeter and UA graduate, has found remarkable success with the publication of her work, “The Lesbian Sex Haiku Book (with Cats!).” The book is not just about lesbians, not just about sex and not really about cats—though they beautifully grace many pages—but is a collection of haiku framing the life of young people with various sexual orientations navigating the world’s many hurdles. Pulley studied creative writing and gender and women’s studies at the UA and now lives in Oakland. She freelances full-time while working on her second book of essays and a travel project with VICE in Jamaica. Pulley also hopes to schedule a reading next semester in Tucson, where she was born and raised. Pulley’s father, who she called her unofficial publicist, shared her book with the Daily Wildcat, and apparently all around Tucson. She answered a few questions to give a glimpse into what led to her unique collection of poems. DW: At what time in your life did you come out and find yourself accepted? Pulley: I was 20—a sophomore. I think it was much easier to come out in college than in high school, though that’s changed a lot in the last 10 years or so, for the better. My folks were pretty great about it. I even wrote a haiku about coming out [though it’s not in the book]: Me: Wearing thrifted military cargo shorts. My folks: Yeah, we know. Has your book had any negative reception? Not really, which is crazy to me because I spend a lot of time on the internet, and we all know the internet tends to be mostly depressing, cynical and snarky, with the occasional heartwarming post about

UA grad writes about navigating sex, life through new haiku book interspecies animal friendships. Interestingly, the “hate” I get on Twitter, in terms of haiku, is always like, “YOU’RE ONE SYLLABLE OFF, YOU CALL YOURSELF A POET?” If you ever find yourself arguing with a stranger on Twitter about whether “fire” is one syllable or two, it’s time to get off the internet. But yes, the press for the book has been astounding. Tegan and Sara posted about it on Instagram. And so did Jennifer Tilly on Twitter, who starred in the movie, “Bound.” It’s been so lovely to see such a weird, niche little book make its way into the world. How exactly did you become her haiku highness? I was writing them to overcome writer’s block and heartache. But I was also doing social media for Mother Jones magazine and was on Twitter literally all the time, so the intersection of all those things came together nicely. Twitter is actually part of the reason I got a book deal in the first place, as well. So, full circle and all that. Do you continue to write haiku? I do. I can’t stop now. Mostly I post emo-love haiku on Instagram [at instagram.com/lezbianna] because it’s such a habit. I think in haiku. Here’s a recent one: These sheets--so stained with your memory--I almost mistook them for skin. I might do a more earnest, serious haiku book someday. But for now, they exist as little nuggets of angst and nostalgia. Have you always written poetry? Only when trying to woo women. I’m mostly an essayist and journalist. I never thought I’d write an entire book of poetry, though perhaps it was inevitable since I seem to be crossing off a lot of lesbian clichés in my life. I love poetry, though, and poetic language—it’s the most heart-rending form of expression to me. And haiku especially because it conveys so much meaning in so few words.
COURTESY KELSEY BEYER
ILLUSTRATION BY KELSEY BEYER. “The Lesbian Sex Haiku Book (with Cats!),” written by UA alumna Anna Pulley, features over 150 of Pulley’s haikus centering around how two girls make love and fall in love.
How did you get started writing and how did you find the confidence to take on sex and relationship columning? I was lucky in that I never wanted to do anything else with my life. I knew I’d be a writer since I was about three [according to my mother]. I’m glad it’s working out because I have very few other marketable life skills. You know, I don’t know that anyone thinks they’d be good at writing an advice column—I think we’re all terrified when we start. It’s pretty audacious, right? To think you can solve people’s life dilemmas. That said, I got my MFA in life mistakes so I feel fairly qualified
to tell people what NOT to do. There’s a lot of wisdom to be found in failure. I notice the tendency in your book to portray lesbians as more socially/environmentally responsible. Is this true? You know, they actually are! According to a Grist study in 2011, lesbians/gays are more eco-friendly and interested in sustainability than [heterosexuals]. Something to brag about at dinner parties, surely. Could you brag a bit about your partner, kitty illustrator Kelsey Beyer?
She’s probably best known for being the unofficial visual documentarian of the Bay Area’s longest-running, all-girl orgy, Girl Pile. But she does lots of other stuff, as well. She’s doing illustrations for the VICE piece I mentioned above, so be on the lookout for that. And she recently made symbolic vagina buttons out of our book’s end pages, including cat, beaver, little man in the canoe, box, taco, catcher’s mitt, peach and magic carpet. She’s one of the most talented people I know and she didn’t balk at all when I asked her to draw cats in sexually awkward poses.

All Souls Procession founder Susan Johnson never intended for the event to become as big as it has BY SEAN ORTH, EMMA JACKSON AND BRIANNA LEWIS
@DailyWildcat
T
ALL SOULS
he beating heart of Tucson’s creative body came alive at the All Souls Procession last night. Participants and spectators filled the starting area on Sixth Avenue and Seventh Street hours before the procession even started. ASP allows people to honor and celebrate loved ones who’ve died in the past year. The event accordingly felt like a bunch of intimate, personal experiences manifesting in a grand fashion. Perhaps this is due to the fact that ASP really did start as a personal and individual celebration—one that founder Susan Johnson created without intention of it becoming a massive, city-wide event. “My father passed away and he was a World War II Veteran, and he was at the bombing of Pearl Harbor so I wanted to honor him and his life,” Johnson said. Although she doesn’t walk in honor of someone every year, Johnson built a float for this year’s procession in honor of her late husband, who was ASP’s co-founder. After the first year, Johnson created workshops to get the community involved in her celebration. “I created workshops for people to actually interact and make things together to process grieving, and also sharing who they were honoring, so it made more of a community event,” Johnson said. Johnson brought the event’s Día de los Muertos-inspired concept to Tucson because of its proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border. She wanted to celebrate the holiday, but wasn’t of Hispanic descent, so she tried to integrate the ways Latin Americans connect with life and death into her own unique celebration. ASP is completely non-profit. The volunteers who run the event, Many Mouths One Stomach, made their way through the crowds before the procession started, politely asking for $1 donations. They seemed to serve as the backbone of the procession and made it clear the group has “never taken corporate sponsors and they never will.” Although most of the procession-goers were honoring fallen loved ones, the atmosphere was uplifting and positive, as if they knew their loved ones were following them wherever they went. The lighting of the urn at the procession’s finale brought closure to the evening and united the community in a ceremony where the dead met with the living for the ultimate celebration.

Defense, rebounding concerns for Arizona basketball ahead of Friday’s season opener BY CHRISTOPHER DEAK @ChrisDeakDW
Kaleb Tarczewski and Ryan Anderson couldn’t score the way Dusan Ristic and Lauri Markkanen can, but they sure could rebound. Rebounding, especially on the defensive end, may hamper Arizona early on this season. The Wildcats ranked first in the Pac-12 Conference in defensive rebounding last season and second in offensive rebounding. The lack of frontcourt depth was apparent again Sunday night against Chico State, but head coach Sean Miller figures to be getting help come Friday night. Miller announced that sophomore center Chance Comanche should return Friday, and the coaching staff will rely on him to help in the rebounding sector. “With Chance, we’re a much different team,” Miller said. “You can’t underestimate a 6-foot-11 offensive and defensive rebounder.” Chico State out rebounded the Wildcats 30-28 in Arizona’s second and final exhibition of the season. After surrendering 16 offensive rebounds to an overmatched College of Idaho squad, Arizona gave up seven more against Chico State. The College of Idaho only scored 35 points, leading to plenty of opportunities for offensive boards. So while giving up seven seems like an improvement, Chico State did much more scoring than Arizona’s first opponent. After combining for 19 rebounds against the College of Idaho, Ristic and Markkanen brought down only 10 boards against Chico State, and only three of those rebounds came from the starting center, Ristic. Chico State was able to control the game down low at times, and Michigan State certainly has more firepower inside than Chico State.
Expect the Spartans’ star freshman Miles Bridges to go right after Markkanen and Ristic early on. Markkanen recorded zero rebounds in the first half Sunday in McKale Center, and will have to do better against Michigan State to keep Arizona in the game down low. Arizona ranked third in scoring defense in the Pac-12 last year. That number could fall as well. The Wildcats have become known for their defense during the Miller era, but without a true defensive anchor in the starting lineup, they could be exposed down low. Getting Comanche back needs to have the impact Miller expects, or Arizona will struggle on the glass. Senior Kadeem Allen netted 15 points and four assists against Chico State and has been Arizona’s defensive leader. Allen was Arizona’s best player through both exhibition games, and Miller likes his combination of experience and toughness. “Kadeem is awesome,” Miller said. “He is our heart and soul in many ways, certainly the leader of our team. His experience, his leadership, his toughness, those are all things that are going to help this team through our long journey.” The exhibition season is officially over and Arizona will kick off the college basketball season Friday night in Honolulu. With a brand new starting five, Arizona will be under the bright lights to begin the season and not even Miller knows what to expect. “We won’t know until we get there, that’s the hard part,” Miller said. “We don’t have an experienced team, so we’ll learn a lot about these guys once we get [to Honolulu].” In recent years, no Arizona team has come in to a season with more question marks. Whether or not the answers to these questions are positive or negative remains to be seen.

Rich Rodriguez’s seat starting to heat up BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
T
he Arizona football team is in a freefall. There is no other way to describe it. After the dismantling in Pullman, Washington on Saturday in a 69-7 loss at the hands of Washington State, the Wildcats have officially landed well below rock bottom. They have been for some time now, dating back to the season opener in 2015 when star linebacker Scooby Wright III came limping off the field at Arizona Stadium against UTSA. Injuries, suspensions and recruiting misses have hit the football program in the family jewels and the lack of signs that it will get any better have fans wincing in pain. Taking a knee right now is the only thing to do. So, the question that seemed so ludicrous at the beginning of the season has to be asked: Should head coach Rich Rodriguez be fired? The answer is no. There isn’t any need or a justifiable cause … yet. Yes, he is having his worst year as a coach since his first year at Glenville State when the Pioneers only won one game. Yes, had Grambling State’s quarterback DeVante Kincade not been injured, perhaps we’d be seeing Rodriguez’s history repeat itself. And yes, these are all Rodriguez’s so-called OKGs that appear to be overmatched at every position by every team. But replacing him doesn’t solve anything at this point. First, he deserves the right to attempt to recover

from this disastrous season. He has shown the propensity to recover quick from bad seasons before, both at West Virginia and Michigan. Second, the money within Arizona Athletics is extremely tight and releasing a coach that makes the most money in base salary—$275,000 more than men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller—is not fiscally wise, seeing as how the Wildcats would still have to pay Rodriguez his remaining salary.
Last, the promise of a brighter future would appear to be within the current recruiting class— scheduled to take the field in 2017—as Arizona has the No. 19 class in the nation, according to 247sports.com. Rodriguez’s failures of late are coming at the worst possible time, and Arizona may be forced to just bite the bullet and hope for the best. If Rodriguez is let go, what is the alternative? Prior to Arizona, Rodriguez spent three years
at Michigan before rudely getting shown the door. He is largely viewed as being the scapegoat for a program in shambles because of factors that were outside of his control. This is one of the biggest reasons why his hire at Arizona was met with tremendous approval. His coaching pedigree is one that Arizona fans view as top-notch, despite not having won a conference championship since his West Virginia days. It is a pedigree Arizona fans don’t believe they can acquire elsewhere should Rodriguez either leave for another school or be relieved of his duties. The fear of the unknown should not exist among Arizona fans when it comes to a head coach selection, anyway. Athletic director Greg Byrne has proven he knows what type of coach may have the makeup to be highly successful. Gymnastics head coach Tabitha Yim and baseball head coach Jay Johnson are proof of that. The last time the Wildcats won only two games was the last season of the Jim Mackovic era in 2003. Shudder if you want, but this team has been no different than those of the former coach. The biggest difference is that Rodriguez hasn’t totally lost the program like Mackovic did. Rodriguez hasn’t given up and vows to get UA back to where it needs to be. He’s the one who posed, “Why not us, why not Arizona?” at his introductory press conference nearly five years ago. But the fans are still in doubt due to the lack of success thought to be on its way when Rodriguez came to Tucson. We’re still waiting to be entertained. Read the full story online.

Self-imposing obstacles have Wildcats in wide spot Allonzo Trier, Chance Comanche and Ray Smith have Arizona searching for answers early in the season
BY MACKENZIE SWANEY @itsthewatergirl
A
rizona men’s basketball earned a “W” against the College of Idaho in its first exhibition game Tuesday night. But it was only a small victory considering one star player’s eligibility is in haitus, one player is struggling with academics and another even retired. Veterans Allonzo Trier, Chance Comanche and Ray Smith changed the future for Arizona basketball this season. Sure, the team will be able to depend on players like Dusan Ristic and
Kobi Simmons, but a huge portion of the team is already unable to do its part for the team—and the regular season has yet to even start. Head coach Sean Miller continued to deny commenting on anything regarding Trier’s case. For now, all that can be noted is that Trier was with Comanche on the bench during the exhibition game sporting red polos instead of the new white uniforms. Comanche’s story is not one many people feel sympathy for. Miller benched him for being academically irresponsible, but announced Comanche should travel with the team and be available for its season opener against Michigan State in Hawaii on Friday. At a school that spends insane amounts of money on academic resources, especially for athletes, it almost seems unreasonable for players to be ineligible because of grades. Arizona forward Ray Smith’s retirement, however, was one many Wildcat fans sympathized with. It was Smith’s third ACL tear in as many years,
as he went down once and bounced back on Tuesday, but it was not long until he limped back off the court. He announced his retirement from basketball via a note he wrote and posted on Twitter. Smith’s words were touching and his story is one that is difficult to hear, but respected. It is probably the smartest move he could have made. “He’s been doing what you saw for 22 practices—he’s landed, he’s jumped, he’s done everything everyone else has done,” Miller said. “He had no setbacks. We’re just going to have to depend on walk-ons and some guards.” Miller recognized the team will now be faced with some rebuilding and shuffling of players, but is confident that this year’s Wildcats will work even harder to be successful. “I believe this year’s team has a chance to improve and grow as the year goes on because a lot of the people you’re asking me about just started,” Miller said.

Miller optimistic after tough exhibition battle BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
It wasn’t pretty and it left a lot to be desired, but the Arizona men’s basketball team won its last exhibition game over the visiting Chico State Wildcats, 78-70, despite looking shaky throughout the game. Chico State came out and dictated the tempo, jumping to a 29-17 lead halfway through the first half. Forward Isaiah Ellis and guard Robert Duncan— the CCAA Player of the Year a season ago—both contributed nine points apiece to lead Chico State’s offensive attack. “Chico State is a good Division II team and [it] came out and punched us in the mouth,” Arizona senior guard Kadeem Allen said. “We were playing slow in the first half, so we had to come out in the second half and turn it around.” Arizona finally established itself, led by freshman Kobi Simmons’ defensive effort which energized the Wildcats and sparked a 16-0 run that would see Arizona take back the lead. Lauri Markkanen, seemingly the only player to hit from long range right now, hit two 3s for Arizona and led all scorers with 10 points in the half. Despite Markkanen’s shooting, Chico State was still able to remain in the game due to rebounding and defense, beating Arizona on the boards 17-10 in the first half and taking a 40-37 lead into halftime. “Every game is a good preparation for us,”
Markkanen said. “We’re just trying to concentrate on doing what we do.” Chico State stayed within striking distance throughout the second half by hitting several NBA range 3-pointers by Duncan and fellow guard Corey Silverstrom. But Arizona freshman Rawle Alkins and Markkanen scored on a series of offensive plays to boost the Arizona lead to 65-60 with 6:25 to play. Silverstrom was a thorn in Arizona’s side, scoring 15 points on the night. The trio of Ellis, Duncan and Silverstrom combined for 47 of Chico State’s 70 points. Markkanen was the key player of the night, scoring 21 points and bringing in seven rebounds. Alongside center Dusan Ristic, the two big men combined for 35 points and 10 rebounds on the evening. “The coaches keep telling me to be more aggressive both in driving to the basket and shooting when I have the chance, so I am trying,” Markkanen said. “It is hard when you are trying to learn three positions all at the same time to know when to shoot.” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said he expects center Chance Comanche to return after serving a two-game suspension due to academic issues. That should help the Wildcats both on defense and in the rebounding department where they’ve had their biggest shortcoming. “If everything goes well these next two days, he will join us in Hawaii. I expect that to happen,” Miller said. “With Chance, we’re a much different team. You can’t underestimate a 6-foot-11 offensive
rebounder—defensive rebounder who has the ability to give us great size and depth up front. Playing without him, any team would miss that.” The regular season begins now for the Wildcats as they take on Michigan State for a neutral-site matchup in Hawaii this Friday. “It’s exciting, it’s the first game of college basketball this Friday and we’re ready for the challenge,” Allen said. “Everyone has a bigger role now, everyone has to step up. We’re going to have to compete and go hard on the court.”
