‘A’ Mountain lighting a long-time tradition

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

The “A” on Sentinel Peak glowed a bright red on Sunday evening, symbolizing the start of Homecoming Week.

Sentinel Peak has been known as “A” Mountain since the “A” was completed in March 1916. Football player and civil engineering student Albert H. Condron suggested an “A” on the mountain as a class assignment, and the project was begun in November 1915.

In following years, the “A” on the mountain was not lit on fire as a symbol, but in preparation for it to be painted UA’s spirit colors after every academic year.

The tradition has since been reinvented and now the “A” is lit up with flares to kick off Homecoming Week.

and it wasn’t until last year when we decided to make it a Homecoming event,” said Jill Hall, vice president of student and alumni relations at the UA Alumni Association.

Bob Kruse, a member of the UA Alumni Band, said the “A” reminds him of his time at the UA. “This event really draws you back to when you were a

student; the ‘A’ has been there for a very long time, and it hasn’t really changed,” Kruse said. “The university has grown — lots of new buildings, hotels, high-rise apartments — but the ‘A’ is still there and it still means the same thing.”

Melinda Burke, president of the Alumni Association, said the lighting gives community members, students and alumni the opportunity to reflect on the Homecoming tradition and the symbolism of “A” Mountain.

“This event is crossgenerational; it is really a chance for students and alumni to connect,” Burke said. “The ‘A’ is so much of a symbol to our history.”

Some said they hope the “A” Mountain lighting will be a long-lived tradition, no matter how much Tucson or the UA continues to change.

“The tradition part of our campus sometimes gets lost; things come, but then they go,” Hall said. “This is something that was started so long ago, so hopefully it is a tradition that lives on.”

First time in 99 years: UA says bye bye, bonfire

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HOMECOMING HISTORY the UA will not be hosting a bonfire in front of Old Main to crown the Homecoming king and queen due to the buiding’s renovation project.

BY JAZMINE FOSTER-HALL The Daily Wildcat

For the first time in 99 years, the crowning of the Homecoming king and queen will not include a bonfire.

The bonfire is a tradition of Homecoming, blazing up every year in front of Old Main during the football pep rally for Bear Down Friday — but this year, things will be done a little differently.

Jill Hall, vice president of student and alumni outreach with the Arizona Alumni Association, said the change was mostly due to the construction on Old Main, but was also affected by other factors. Because most of the rest of campus is reserved for tents before the game, it wouldn’t be possible to clean up after the bonfire in one night, so it was cancelled for the year, Hall added.

“When we saw that the construction on Old Main was happening, we knew that spot would not be an option,” Hall said. “If you have a bonfire anywhere else, that’s where tents and everything go up.”

The royal court crowning is still set to take place Friday afternoon, but in collaboration with the Main Gate festivities instead of at Old Main.

The Homecoming king and queen will be announced at about 5:30 p.m. at Main Gate Square during the Bear Down Friday pep rally.

Bear Down Friday will start with the football team coming out, followed by a pep rally with the band and mascots Wilbur and Wilma. The crowning will happen after that, on the stage outside of CVS. Hall said the change won’t affect the energy of homecoming at all, and that it’s more convenient

for visitors.

“We’re still doing everything that we normally would have done, and I think it’s almost a little easier,” Hall said. “We’re going to see probably more people down here watching the crowning than we would have normally.”

Lia Falco, an assistant professor in the disability and psychoeducational studies department, said she attended the bonfire as a student at the UA. Falco said the lack of a bonfire this year was disappointing, but understandable.

“It’s tradition, so I guess it’s a little sad to not have that,” Falco said, “but I suppose there are probably good reasons.”

This year’s royal court will be the first ever to be crowned away from Old Main.

Chelsea Suitos, a family studies and human development senior and member of the royal court, said that even though it’s sad that there won’t be a bonfire this year, people will still have fun.

“All of us are kind of upset about it, but it is what it is and we can’t change it,” Suitos said.

“We’re just going to have fun no matter what, bonfire or not.”

The Arizona Alumni Association is already looking to the future with plans for a bonfire at next year’s centennial Homecoming.

“The great thing is next year is Homecoming 100,” Hall said, “so to have a spectacular bonfire in front of that refurbished Old Main will be perfect.”

Phelan said she got her research from the UA homepage and a few Daily Wildcat articles, but the majority of her stories were found on uofamystery.org.

Each leader of the ghost tour has a different story to tell based on locations around campus. In addition to the ghost stories, the tour also features a few stories of strange occurrences related to the UA that involve murders or deaths, such as the story of Rufus Arizona, the UA’s first live mascot, who is said

to have fallen and hanged himself from a tree while performing gymnastics stunts.

Prust said she hopes the UA Alumni Association will continue to do ghost tours in the future if the event is popular — which it seems to have been, since the first tour sold out Thursday, after almost 100 people signed up for the four tours.

“I think people are always just fascinated with mystery,” Prust said. “[The ghost tour] kind of connects you back to the university’s first days, and then that idea that some of those people never left.”

“Everyone kind of works together, so you get a big team going,” Mobberley said.

The fraternity usually spends three weeks working on its float for the parade and while there are some difficulties, it’s also an opportunity for them to use their engineering skills creatively.

“You don’t get to build a giant Death Star every day,” Santiago said.

Theta Tau’s designs this year are large-scale, with a Star Wars theme that will provide some surprises for the audience, even if the concept isn’t quite in line with the Homecoming theme.

“This year is Wildcat Planet, so doing something that’s a little more space-themed is maybe not quite towards it, but this is a lot more fun,” Wurtz said. “Our original idea was kind of a globe with the block ‘A’ on it, but we decided that was boring.”

The Theta Tau members agreed that their biggest competition is Wildcat Off-Road, because some of Theta Tau’s members are part of the offroading club as well. The rivalry between the two clubs stirs up constructive competition, said Andreko Lennartz, a senior studying optics and computer engineering.

“Competition always makes you strive for different designs, more complex designs, bigger designs,” Lennartz said. “It keeps you on your toes.”

Softball coaches already home

LILI STEFFEN/The Daily Wildcat

UA softball coaches Alicia Hollowell (left), Stacey Iveson (center) and Mike Candrea (right) watch the game against Central Arizona on Oct. 12. Candrea’s coaching staff is made up of all UA alumni.

BYjames kelley The Daily Wildcat

Arizona softball head coach Mike Candrea has four familiar faces next to him in the dugout.

After Caitlin Lowe was named volunteer assistant coach this fall, the UA’s line up of assistant coaches became all former Wildcat players.

“I think we’re one of those programs that has a great tradition, and any time that you can hire people that understand the tradition, that have lived through the tradition, I think it’s a benefit for the athlete of today,” Candrea said. “I love the kids that I have on the staff because if you cut them, they’re going to bleed red and blue, and so I think it’s a huge advantage to us.”

Lowe played at the UA from 2004 to 2007 and competed for the USA national team from 2005 to 2008.

“It’s just nice to be able to get on the field and be able to help out in any way that I can,” Lowe said about joining the staff. “I’m loving working with the slappers and the outfielders.”

The change to an all-alumni staff was gradual.

First came assistant coach Stacy Iveson in 2011. She turned down NCAA head coaching jobs to be an

staff in 2012. She played at the UA Arizona assistant.

“It’s great to know what to expect, from 2003 to 2006 and now coaches obviously,” Iveson said. “I mean, you the pitchers.

“It’s pretty fun being back after begrew up in this program and played for coach Candrea, so you know how ing here,” Hollowell said. “Playing on he does things and you know his ex- this field, going through all the trials pectations, and that makes our role and tribulations that these girls are and our job as coaches that much going through now, just being back and part of the family is awesome.” easier.”

Candrea said he thinks the staff Iveson was an assistant coach at can give the Wildcats the UA from 1995 to an edge as he seeks his 2001. She played at ninth national chamthe UA from 1986 to I love the kids pionship, but first 1989, on Candrea’s that I have since 2007. first four teams. on the staff “That’s a great way Iveson said that because if to bridge the past it is “genius” to hire to the future, and your former playyou cut them, [there’s] nothing beters and that she they’re going to ter than having coachtried to find players bleed red and es that have worn the she coached to fill blue... uniform, that have her staff when she — Mike Candrea, been on the field, was a head coach at head coach that have played in Pima Community those championship College and Yavapai games,” Candrea said.

day.”

Lowe and Hollowell said being former players is helpful because they understand what it is like to be a student-athlete at Arizona and the pressures of UA softball.

Hollowell played with Lowe for about 10 years, at the UA, on Team USA and in travel ball.

“Alicia and I even played together when I was here, so it makes the transition really easy,” Lowe said.

“We’re not worried about stepping on each other’s toes; we’re kind of all on the same page with everything.”

Candrea said he didn’t see any problems with having a staff with such similar backgrounds.

“There’s no negatives to it,” Candrea said. “They’re hired because they’re quality coaches number one, former players number two.”

Arizona is coming off its worst season since the 1980s, but it still made it to the NCAA tournament, going 1-2 with a squad that only had one senior. Iveson said he has noticed other former Candrea players now coaching just like him.

“It’s like, it obviously works, so why change it?” Iveson said.

Few players want to have to sit out a season and redshirt, but Hunley said it has given her a chance to get closer to the other players who are also out for the year. One of those women happens to be Paige Crouch, who is also Hunley’s roommate.

“We’ve been able to bond,” Crouch said. “Because we are both injured, we watch the practices and games together.

Swim alum thrives with new career Former Wildcat swimmer Tyler DeBerry found success in life outside of sports and now lives large in Tucson

BY Nicole Cousins The Daily Wildcat

+Until college graduation, swimming was all that Tyler DeBerry knew.

The Tucson native invested all of his time in swimming. From being a four-year letter winner at Sabino High School to clinching an NCAA Championship in the 800-yard freestyle relay in 2006, DeBerry practically spent his entire life in the pool.

DeBerry has been a part of Arizona swimming since he was 13 years old, when he joined the UA club team. His involvement with the team deterred him from signing to Arizona at first, so he went to Michigan as a college freshman before transferring back to

Arizona as a sophomore to finish his career.

“Thankfully, [former head coach] Frank Busch and the team welcomed me back, because they didn’t really have any distance swimmers, and those were my events,” DeBerry said. “They were really excited and made me feel really welcome.”

As a Wildcat, DeBerry was known for his contribution to Arizona’s first NCAA Championship in the 800y freestyle relay, accompanied by teammates Simon Burnett, Lyndon Ferns and Adam Ritter. DeBerry swam the third leg of the race to help clinch the championship in 6:16.67.

The distance freestylist was known by his teammates as the motivator. A goal-oriented

DeBerry still lives in Tucson and said he keeps in contact with the Arizona swim team. He plans to attend this weekend’s Homecoming dual meet against USC on Saturday.

After a hiatus from swimming, DeBerry now swims for the Masters team out of Tucson. DeBerry’s former teammate Ritter also swims for the Ohio-based Masters team, the Columbus Sharks.

“I think every swimmer needs structure, and for me, it was nice to be able to come in and be able to swim for an hour once a day — to have a coach, to have a practice but to have zero pressure, zero expectations — just to be able to enjoy swimming,” DeBerry said.

Kristi McGihon said she believes that the things DeBerry learned at the UA are what made him successful in AdvoCare.

Alumni reminisce over UA traditions BY jessica schrecker The Daily Wildcat

As Wildcats, red and blue runs through our veins, and we never forget our alma mater. UA tradition and loyalty is unlike any other — once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat, and we have plenty of traditions to prove it.

Homecoming promises a proud celebration for the school that has guided us through such a significant time in our lives. For alumni, it’s a chance to relive what many remember as the best years of their lives.

“There’s something about it — it’s tradition, it’s history and no one has a Homecoming like we do” said class of 1976 alumna Lynn Engel. “It just gives you goose bumps.”

Engel, daughter of former Director of the Arizona Alumni Association Marvin D. “Swede” Johnson, said she has attended the UA’s Homecoming celebration every year since she was a child. Though much of campus has changed since Engel’s time, she said coming back always feels just the same.

“There’s a group of us that go back every year for Homecoming, and we went to school together,” she said.

“We all say the same thing when we get back on campus. We’re like, ‘Doesn’t it seem like we’re still here?’”

Engel said the most notable changes to campus have been renovations to the Student Union Memorial Center and the UofA Bookstore. Engel said she and her friends can’t resist stopping there whenever they find themselves on campus. Along with the bookstore, Engel said she always stops at the building named after her father every Homecoming.

“When we come back to

Students participate in the annual tug of war match on the UA Mall on Thursday as part of Homecoming Week.

Homecoming, we always go to the building,” Engel said. “As he always said, it’s family and it’s home. He just loved Homecoming and I feel like I’m him and I’m going through it.”

Kellie Terhune Neely, a class of 1981 alumna, recalls her years at

the UA as wonderful, especially the years she spent living on campus in the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. Terhune said many of her close friends today began as some of her hall mates.

said she has been able to return to Homecoming every year and recommends that students do the same.

“Enjoy your college time.

Get connected with the Alumni Association so when you graduate

… you can take advantage of networking,” Terhune said.

Although the UA is known for its reputable programs and flourishing campus, alumni said they also miss going downtown and to Fourth Avenue. Before Dirtbag’s was built, students frequented local bars including the Green Dolphin, Lucky Wishbone and Bob Dobbs.

In addition to bar-going, tailgating before football games was almost a requirement, Engel said.

“Arizona football was not very good, but everybody went to the game because you always wanted to be together,” Engel said. “There was always a party before the game, a party after and a party during the game. We’ve carried that on; we tailgate at Homecoming every year.”

Melissa Fox, who graduated in May, said she’s missed the UA’s traditions even though she only graduated a few months ago.

“The thing I miss the most is just being on campus,” Fox said. “I miss seeing school spirit everywhere and everyone always wearing some item of clothing with our treasured Arizona A. I miss casually running into a friend from freshman year and reminiscing about how disgusting Coronado was, and I miss walking across the Mall every day.”

Fox recommended that Wildcats take advantage of their time at the UA and make the most of the experience before they leave.

“Do not let yourself look back and have regrets about your college experience,” Fox said. “College happens in the blink of an eye, and before you know it, you’ll be decorating your cap or writing your senior thesis.”

Tailgating with the right songs

BY CASEY KNOX

The Daily Wildcat Because “Wrecking Ball” on repeat won’t necessarily get a tailgate party started on Homecoming Weekend, here are some music suggestions catered to your crowd.

Tip your hat to country music For those looking for a good ol’ home-grown country tailgate, create a mix of songs from artists like Kid Rock, George Strait, Jake Owen, Florida Georgia Line, Toby Keith, Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley and Randy Houser. Consider these songs to add to your playlist:

“Sushi-licious” (Arizona Daily Star, August 25, 2011)

ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI

Blake Shelton – “Boys ‘Round Here” ft. Pistol Annies and Friends Toby Keith – “Red Solo Cup” Zac Brown Band – “Chicken Fried” Jason Aldean – “My Kinda Party” Kevin Fowler – “Lord Loves A Drinkin’ Man” Luke Bryan – “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” Eric Church – “Drink in My Hand” Darius Rucker – “Wagon Wheel” Florida Georgia Line – “Cruise (Remix)” ft. Nelly Kenny Chesney & Tim McGraw – “Feel Like A Rock Star” Lee Brice – “Parking Lot Party”

INTERSCOPE

Let the good times roll with the classics If you’re looking for a playlist that anyone can raise their drink and sing loudly to, try some of these classic artists. Kansas, Led Zeppelin, Neil Diamond, The Rolling Stones, The Who and Queen are the perfect artists to rock your tailgate.

AC/DC – “You Shook Me All Night Long” KISS – “Rock and Roll All Nite” Aerosmith – “Walk This Way” ZZ Top – “Sharp Dressed Man” Ozzy Osbourne – “Crazy Train” Lynyrd Skynyrd – “Sweet Home Alabama” Boston – “More Than a Feeling” The Doobie Brothers – “China Grove” Foreigner – “Hot Blooded” Guns N’ Roses – “Welcome To The Jungle”

Twerk and grind with popular songs We’ve probably all heard these songs at least once or twice on the radio, so this list of trending songs come as no surprise. Macklemore, Kendrick Lamar or any of the suggestions below will kick off the night this Homecoming Weekend.

Miley Cyrus – “We Can’t Stop” Robin Thicke – “Blurred Lines” ft. T.I. and Pharrell Williams Katy Perry – “Roar” Daft Punk – “Get Lucky” ft. Pharrell Williams B.o.B. – “HeadBand” ft. 2 Chainz Drake – “Started From The Bottom” Lady Gaga – “Applause” Chris Brown – “Love More” ft. Nicki Minaj J. Cole – “Crooked Smile” ft.

Making a shirt for the big game

Alumni, students, faculty and families will fill the UA campus this weekend as Wildcat fans prepare for this year’s Homecoming game. While Southern schools may be known for stylish dresses and corresponding accessories to match their school’s colors, game day attire at the UA is a little different.

Saturday’s forecast calls for quintessential Arizona weather, with a high of 80 degrees. For this, keep things simple with a tank top or T-shirt, but stay playful with a Wildcat-inspired spin on the typical cut-up T-shirt.

Here’s how you do it:

3. For the sleeves, determine how wide you’d like the straps to be and how much of your side you’d like to show. For skinny straps, begin cutting outwards at least half an inch from the neckline; for thicker straps, go with an inch to an inch and a half. End the cut just below the underarm area.

Amy Johnson The Daily Wildcat

4. After finishing one side, place the excess fabric over the other side and use it as a template.

1. Start with a standard red shirt and the sharpest scissors you can find, which will assure you can cut in the straightest lines possible.

16

7. Using clothing shears or extra sharp scissors, begin to cut the image out of your shirt, bearing in mind that you might need smaller scissors for more detailed patterns.

8. Continue until you have cut out each image. Use a lint roller or damp cloth to remove excess chalk dust.

Amy Johnson The Daily Wildcat

6. Next, flip the paper over and rub your fist over the image onto the desired area of the shirt to transfer the chalk outline. Be careful not to accidentally smudge the chalk once the image has transferred. Repeat step five to recreate the image multiple times.

10

2. Should you decide to transform your T-shirt into a tank top, begin by cutting the neckline at least 1 inch from the seam. Take your time between each cut to avoid any jagged and untidy lines.

5. Keep things easy by printing out stencils of the design you’d like featured on the back of your T-shirt. Carefully trace the image with chalk, pressing as firmly as possible.

9. Pair your new shirt with white pants or dark wash jeans for a look that is both effortless and versatile.

The Loft Cinema’s annual film festival returns this weekend, aiming to expose Tucsonans to more than 30 ‘diverse’ and ‘eclectic’ movies

amy phelps/The Daily Wildcat

The Loft Cinema is hosting its fourth annual Loft Film Fest through the weekend. The festival will provide one-time screenings of foreign, local, independent and classic films with the goal of showcasing emerging directors, writers, producers and actors.

T

Alex Guyton

his weekend is shaping up to be one of the busiest for Tucson’s only arthouse cinema.

The Loft Cinema will host its annual Loft Film Fest this weekend, with dozens of films on tap that can’t be found in large theater franchises, in an effort that gives Tucson access to some of this year’s most

diverse films.

This marks the festival’s fourth year, said Jeff Yanc, the festival’s co-director, adding that roughly 3,100 patrons attended last year and he’s confident that at least as many people will attend this year.

His optimism comes from the quality of this year’s films, he said.

“I think we get better films every year,” Yanc said. “I think this is our strongest lineup,

this year, in terms of films.”

As co-director of the Loft Film Fest, Yanc traveled as far as the Sundance Film Festival to see the films beforehand, in order to help hand-pick those to be screened this weekend.

Yanc said he had a very specific idea in mind when looking for films.

“The two words that I would most often use to describe it are ‘diverse’ and ‘eclectic,’ so that’s what we’re looking for,”

Yanc said. “We want a broad range of film so that there’s not too many films of the same kind at the festival.”

Among the more than 30 films on the agenda this weekend are “Dear Mr. Watterson,” a documentary about the man behind the comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes”; “Willow Creek,” a “Blair Witch Project”-esque horror about the search for Bigfoot; and “Faust,” a telling

of the classic tale of a man who sold his soul to the devil.

One of the titles featured at the festival is the documentary “Tatanka,” which was directed and shot by Jacob Bricca, an assistant professor in the UA’s School of Theatre, Film, and Television. The subject of the documentary is Bricca’s father, Kit, who was an activist

Memorable characters make ‘Nebraska’

D

alex guyton

irector Alexander Payne returns to his hometown of Omaha, Neb., in this black-and-white film named after the state. Despite this being a modern-day parable, the lack of color instills in the audience a sense of nostalgia. Anchored by the beautiful performance of Bruce Dern as Woody Grant, the film is both an honest character study and an examination and reaffirmation of Midwestern ideals.

Grant is a very old man who inhabits the grey twilight between full-blown senility and lucid consciousness. He receives one of those Publishers Clearing House junk mail letters that claims he’ll be awarded $1 million if he can bring the letter to Lincoln, Neb. Woody takes the letter at face value due to his failing mental state and generally trusting nature, and is actually convinced he’s won $1 million.

To fulfill Grant’s fantastical delusion, as his time is obviously limited, his son David (Will Forte) decides to drive his father to Lincoln. Along the way, they meet an eclectic cast of family and “longlost” friends, more than one of whom become extra-friendly with the new “millionaire.”

Dern won Best Actor at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and there’s every reason to believe he’ll be a frontrunner for the Oscar. His Grant is one of the most memorable characters in film this year. He’s a grumpy old man with an acerbic wit who aptly states that “beer’s not drinkin’.” However, with his declining grip on reality, Dern captures a mixture of vulnerability, lucidity, confusion and humor that, as someone who’s seen loved ones suffer a mental decline, I can say that Dern gets damn near perfect.

My major gripes with the film are, unfortunately, about the other main actors. It was an accomplishment for Forte to make the transition from sketch comedy extraordinaire on “Saturday Night Live” to actor in a major dramatic film as effectively as he did; however, as a son who must face all of the flaws in his father, he seems to overstate the grief and frustration. June Squibb plays Woody’s loving-yet-critical wife Kate, who makes a point of harping on her husband and his nonsensical ways. Squibb provides some great humor, but her performance seems over-emphasized, and she’s just

really loud.

Given that “Nebraska” is the title of the movie, it stands to reason that the setting is, well, Nebraska, and that it plays a major role. If you’ve never been to the Midwest, it’s the Nebraska you would stereotypically expect. Simple people live in simple houses and tend to the fields that have been in their families for generations.

Don’t feel bad for thinking the Midwest is nothing but farm country, though. I went to school at a major university in the Midwest for a year, and people there legitimately believe that we Arizonans ride our horses to school.

The Coen Brothers’ “Fargo” famously painted Minnesota as a desolate white wasteland, home to plaid-wearing folk who speak in giggle-inducing phrases like, “Don’t ya know?” If you’ve never been to Minnesota, and someone asked you what you thought it was like, you would probably come up with something similar — although maybe a little less cartoonish.

“Nebraska,” likewise, shows the state as vast, still expanses of rolling fields where most everyone’s a Cornhusker fan (who, by the way, are just doing average in the Big Ten this year). Some critics take issue with these representations, claiming that directors disrespect their subjects by feeding into stereotypes. But Payne was born and raised in Omaha, Neb., and thus I believe he respects and loves his homeland. The people of “Nebraska” find a source of pride, honor and identity in working the land and by carrying on traditions that go as far back as the soil can remember.

Payne isn’t mocking his home state, but doing the exact opposite. He honors this people who keep to family and land, and will even entertain an old man who wants one last taste of youth and glory.

Tour of Tucson studios aims to showcase local artists

T

MCKINZIE FRISBIE

his weekend, Tucsonans will get a chance to see local artists’ talent for free at the 26th annual Open Studio Tour.

Color-coded maps to guide participants through the art district will be distributed at locations including Hotel Congress, the Tucson Museum of Art, Hippie Gypsy, Barnes & Noble, the Loft Cinema and Main Gate Square. The maps will show the locations and types of art on display at each studio, and can also be found on the Tucson Pima Arts Council website.

The event features 224 Tucson and Pima County artists, whose media include glass blowing, hand-made jewelry, mixed media art, steel welding, photography and classic paintings.

Emily Düwel, communications manager for the Tucson Pima Arts Council, said that last year’s Open Studio Tour drew approximately 10,000 people. This year, the event is expected to gain just as much support from the community.

“We have a very large number of artists versus the average population living here,”

Düwel said, referencing a study that the council participated in with Americans for the Arts, “so lot of artists are attracted to the Tucson region.”

Open Studio Tour participant and local artist Hollis Fingold will show her artwork in the Splinter Brothers and Sisters Warehouse this weekend at 901 N. 13th Ave. As a specialist in mixed media, such as sculptures pieced together from a variety of everyday items, Fingold said that she is excited for the growth in contemporary art and the shift away from traditional Southwestern themes in the Tucson community.

“I’m glad to see that things are changing, and I support everyone who is doing something new in Tucson in terms of art and culture,” Fingold said. “Tucson is definitely coming out of the ‘coyote with the bandana on’ stage.”

Fingold went to art school in Buffalo, N.Y., and Chicago, and later became a designer for Eaton’s, a Canadian department store retailer.

Since then, she’s owned her own design company in Denver, designed for Disney and created a line of functional art that included clocks, boxes and picture frames. Several of her telephones ended up in the hands of

celebrities, she said, including Eddie Murphy, Roseanne Barr and Randy Travis.

Fingold said she is thankful to have sold her works to prominent figures and organizations, and to have been accepted into the art world.

“I felt very fortunate and grateful that I could make a living doing artwork,” she said.

“It made me feel really good, and it made my mom really happy.”

Fingold said she was originally skeptical of the art community in Tucson, but has seen it grow firsthand. “[The art community] gets better and better here,” she said. “When I first came here I thought, ‘Oh my god. How the hell did I get to Tucson?’ It’s come a long way in terms of culture and art, absolutely.”

Her studio will have works including functional art, clocks, a steel sculpture and maquettes on display. She said that this weekend, she will sell anything that people want to buy.

“It is clearance time,” she said. “I want to clear out some things. The studio looks like mixed media itself. … You just never know what you’re going to find.”

LoBros bring brotherly love to stage

F

McKinzie Frisbie

ew people know sibling rivalry quite like Christian and Salvador Lopez.

The brothers are founding members of local Latin band The LoBros, which is scheduled to take the stage at this weekend’s 2nd Saturdays Downtown.

Christian Lopez currently lives in Chicago and is taking on his last two semesters at Northwestern University before he earns his Master’s degree in Trombone Performance — the same degree his brother received at the UA in 2010. The band’s sound has been heavily influenced by the members’ time spent studying classical music in college, Salvador Lopez said.

“We make a really good team, and he definitely has a lot of things to offer,” Salvador Lopez said of his brother. “I’m really excited to get him back from his university experience.”

Christian Lopez said the relationship between him and his brother has worked to their mutual benefit, as they’ve advanced

their musical talents together and challenged each other to better themselves.

“We’ve always had a certain level of brotherly competitiveness,” Christian Lopez said. “We’ve definitely grown; we push each other to harness our skills.”

Salvador Lopez said that a lively stage presence has always been a primary characteristic of the band’s performances.

“It has to be entertaining,” he said. “It’s my job, while we’re up there playing, to have a good time, making sure we’re not just standing there, but dancing and trying to create a positive experience for everyone.”

Growing up in a musical family, Christian Lopez said the brothers were immersed in music from a young age. Their mother plays the cello and organ at their church, their grandma is the pianist and their father, Bruce Lopez, is experienced in rock.

“Our parents came from different backgrounds as far as music,” Christian Lopez said. “So those [backgrounds] were kind of polar opposites of the music world. I think they both had a very significant impact on what we want to do with our music.”

song. It was sung at his funeral,” Salvador Lopez said. “It’s a beautiful song. I’ve taken it and turned it into a burning salsa.”

Christian Lopez added that the band will play a game during the performance to inspire crowd participation, but did not want to ruin the fun by revealing the details.

“I’ll keep it a surprise,” he said with a smile, “but tell people to bring their dancing shoes.”

f you happen to find yourself in a drunken haze this Friday, latch onto some friends and stumble over to Greek Row, where the Delta Delta Delta sorority is hosting the school year’s first Delta House of Pancakes philanthropy event.

The event, which takes place once-asemester, helps raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the organization.

Tri-Delta will be serving plain and chocolate chip pancakes coupled with whipped cream and syrup — the perfect meal to cushion the blow of a heavy hangover.

The meal will be $5 at the door or $7 to participate in the hourly pancake-eating contest. Student DJ Ellery Gordon will provide the evening’s entertainment.

The sorority has hosted DHOP for the last seven years, said Steffani Violette, the sorority’s philanthropy chair. The girls, she added, are ready to kick off their first philanthropy event of the school year and reach their goal of $10,000 on Friday night.

The chapter’s goal is to raise $60,000 total during the year to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Nationally, the Delta Delta Delta sorority is trying to raise $15 million in five years, and it has currently raised $14.2 million in three years, according to Violette.

“I’m really big on philanthropy, so I’m

excited to see how much we make by the end of the night,” said Tatum Armitage, vice president of public relations, “Everybody here is so passionate about St. Jude.”

In 1999, the national sorority partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to directly support cancer research.

As for the large crowd of people, the women said they’re ready to take on partygoers and pancake-lovers alike. Violette said she expects this year’s event to bring in a turnout like they’ve never seen before — about 2,500 people — thanks to Homecoming Weekend. This year, the sorority has expanded the event space to include the side of the house.

Last year, DHOP raised $8,000 in the spring semester and $16,000 for the entire year, said Claire Rudder, the sorority’s president.

“We’re doing big things, and we’re so excited to be a part of it,” Rudder said. “We’d love to see as many people come out as possible. We want to continue the positivity that is associated with DHOP.” — Follow Arts reporter Casey Knox @Knox_Casey

rizona natives tend to think the desert is boring. It’s easy to become numb to the allure of the sand and cacti stretching on for miles, and even the sight of our beautiful campus eventually becomes mundane. With the rush of midterm season finally coming to an end, and a brief break before finals hit, now is the ideal time in the semester for a little R and R. The weather is finally reaching perfection and we’re no longer reduced to puddles on the way to class, so break out of your comfort zone, get away from the UA and see what this state has to offer over the three-day weekend.

Sonoita Vineyards No need to leave the country for decent wine when we have access to it right in our backyard. This weekend is the annual St. Martin’s New Release Festival at the awardwinning Sonoita Vineyards. Established at an elevation of 5,000 feet, the vineyards encompass over 30 acres and comprise the

oldest commercial vineyard and winery in Arizona. Approximately one hour from campus, the vineyard has a wide variety of wines, including sauvignon blanc, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, merlot, pinot noir, sangiovese and mission. This weekend, the vineyard will feature horse-drawn wagon rides, wine and food pairings, winemaker discussions and barrel tasting. The outdoor festivities are the perfect weekend getaway.

Mt. Lemmon Mt. Lemmon is one of Tucson’s most treasured spots. A mere 45-minute drive will take you to some of the city’s most beautiful scenery, and the weather is perfect year-round. The drive surrounds you with trees and views of Tucson unavailable anywhere else. Be sure to stop at Summerhaven and Windy Point on your way up. The best times to visit Mt. Lemmon are during sunrise and sunset, for what is arguably the best view in the city.

to the beat of its own drum. Located less than two hours from campus, Bisbee is full of art and scenery that make it perfect for a day trip or even an extended weekend visit.

As a customer, what can I do to piss you off?

What I like to call the “douchebag flag,” the waving the money. Stiffing the tip. That’s like a slap in the face. Those are the things that really kind of get to me. I got a pretty thick skin. I can pretty much roll with the punches, but … another one is dudes creeping on girls. You see that dude who’s just going around the whole bar, just approaching every girl. It’s just not cool, man. We’re going to notice that, and we’re going to look for an excuse to kick you out of the bar if we see that.

On the flip side, what can I do to make your job easiest?

Honestly, it’s actually very easy. All you have to do is come in, be cool. Just wait for your bartender to take your order, leave a decent tip, don’t be shitty drunk, be respectful. It’s like going over to your friend’s. Be respectful of where you’re at.

What is one drinking trend that you’d like to see go away?

Honestly? I would like to see it go away — but I don’t because I partake in this trend; I’m just as guilty — is the Fireball Whisky. It’s really bad, but it’s really good at the same time.

Another thing I would like is the bombs. Any of the bombs. Whatever shot dropped in Redbull. That’s just stupid. I don’t get it.

WILDCATS TENNIS HITS CLAY COURTS

Wildcats open regular season against Mustangs

LUKE DELLA Don’t sleep on Cal Poly. UCLA did in 2012 and got its 2012-13 season off to a disappointing start.

Last season the Mustangs averaged 64.8 points per game, 237th in the country. Their grindit-out slow style might not have set scoring records, but it was efficient. Cal Poly finished the season with a NCAA Division I-low 302 turnovers. Its 9.4 turnovers per game were second-lowest, behind championship runner-up Michigan.

In retrospect, Arizona had 458 turnovers last year in 35 games — the Mustangs played in 32 games.

Cal Poly lost two starters in guards Dylan Royer and Drake U’u. Senior forward Chris Eversley and senior guard Kyle Odister will be relied on to replace Royer and U’u’s minutes, production and experience. Eversley led the team in points last season.

The Mustangs might run into trouble against the Wildcats because of their dependence on three pointers.

Cal Poly fell in love with the three-point shot in 2012-13, attempting 606 three-point field goals and making 227 of them for 37.5 percent.

The Mustangs’ top three-point shooter from last season was Royer, who made 42 percent of

his 196 attempted three-pointers.

With Royer gone, fifth year head coach Joe Callero will have to lean on Odister to fill the void.

Tonight, Cal Poly will also be without point guard Reese Morgan. The junior was expected to start but will miss roughly the first half of this season because

Guard David Nwaba is a junior college transfer from Santa Monica College. While at Santa Monica, Nwaba was a Western State Conference South Division player of the year. He is expected to start as a third guard in the rotation.

Along with depth, Arizona has an advantage over Cal Poly in its frontcourt. The Mustangs feature

Players to watch for

starting center Brian Bennett, who stands at 6-foot-9 but brings little offensive production around the paint. In fact, Cal Poly finished last season as the Big West’s worst shooting team from two-point range. If it wants to succeed at all in 2013-14, it will need to be more of a threat with easy baskets inside the paint.

Friday, expect the Wildcat big men to get plenty of opportunities to score close to basket. Arizona center Kaleb Tarczewski presents a matchup issue with Bennett.

The Mustangs overall had one of the worst field-goal percentage defenses in the country last season.

UCLA underestimated the efficiency and shooting ability of Cal Poly’s offense, and because of it, the early-season loss to the Mustangs weighed on them the entire season.

While this year’s Cal Poly team shouldn’t be quite as dangerous from beyond the arc, the slow tempo efficiency of Callero’s team has become a staple in the program. This should present an interesting matchup for a balanced Wildcats offense that has the athleticism to push the tempo and quickly score transition points off opposing team misses.

Eversely’s production increased dramatically throughout his entire junior season. As a senior, Callero will need him to continue to grow and become even more of a threat in the post. Eversely averaged 15.4 points and seven rebounds a game a year ago.

Wildcats’ Brandon Ashley and Aaron Gordon are expected to match up against the 6-foot7 power forward. Eversely was one of the few Mustangs who made most of his points from inside the arc.

UA head coach Sean Miller vouched for Ashley’s improvement as a three-point shooter. Ashley might want to test that Friday night, as it could take Eversely out of his comfort zone on defense.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW

UCLA came back and beat Colorado, regaining its winning momentum. It’s surely not going to let up in Tucson. At the end of the day, the Bruins are just a better team.

UNDER PRESSURE SCARLETT MCCOURT

IT’S IN THE NUMBERS

WAYS UA WILL WIN

The UCLA Bruins are ranked No. 16 in the AP Poll. That means something.

In their second game of the season, they rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat No. 23 Nebraska.

The Bruins are resilient and they mean business. Their only two losses of the season have come from the Pac-12 big dogs: Oregon and Stanford. After those back-to-back losses,

LUKE DELLA

In any game, there’s always the chance a team will choke. And in this game, Arizona is no exception.

This is the first home game for the Wildcats since mid-October. It’s Homecoming. It’s being shown on ESPN. It’s against a No. 16 team. It’s a late game.

There is a lot riding on this game. Alumni come from all over the country to watch, and they don’t want to leave upset. Furthermore, beating a ranked team could actually give Arizona a name in the football world.

Needless to say, there’s going to be a lot of pressure on senior quarterback B.J. Denker, as this is arguably the most high profile game he’s playing in so far.

There will be a lot of pressure on junior running back Ka’Deem Carey as well. For alumni from out of state, this could be the one chance they get to see the famous Carey do his thing — not to mention, playing on a national stage and being broadcast on ESPN could get him a lot of love in the postseason awards race.

The Wildcats have a fighting chance in this one, but if they cave to the pressure, it’s over.

NOT SO FAST DEFENSIVE FRONT PRESSURE In its first five games, No. 19 UCLA rushed for an average of 223.4 yards per game.

The Bruins went 5-0during that stretch.

In the three games since, their average has decreased to 144, and they lost two of those. Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez commented after Tuesday’s practice that UCLA’s offensive line has been the reason for its recent struggles. On top of that, UCLA’s starting running back, Jordan James, is out with an ankle injury. Expect the Wildcats defense to bring pressure in the UCLA backfield.

CONTAIN AND LIMIT Arizona’s defense has been consistent this season. The top-40 ranked group has had one weakness: big plays early in the game.

This has put a strain on a dynamic offense by pressuring it to either play faster and score often, or worse, play from behind, as it did against USC on Oct. 10. If the 11 men on defense can hold UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley and his many weapons to fewer than 20 points in the first half, the Wildcats’ offense is good enough to win the game.

Who will the UCLA defense focus on this Saturday? Ka’Deem Carey.

Last year, UCLA held Carey to a mere 54 yards.

Of course, it’s aiming to do the same this year.

Arizona’s offense isn’t completely hopeless without Carey. Sure, Denker has improved significantly in the last couple games, but would relying on throwing the ball be enough?

If the Bruins’ defense can stop Carey, then UCLA will take the W. FILE PHOTO/DAILY WILDCAT

midgets” by the coaches for their short stature but considerable strength.

While they may not appear dangerous, their ability to get open and make spectacular deep catches have without a doubt been a key to the Wildcats’ passing game so far. Grant leads the team with 33 catches and has proven to be quarterback B.J. Denker’s go-to target, especially for short yardage gains. Phillips leads the team in both receiving yards and touchdowns.

Phillips has made a number of impressive catches, which have led to big gains.

Saturday the mighty midgets will nce again be one of the most important pieces in the Arizona offense.

MIGHTY MIDGETS Freshman receivers Samajie Grant and Nate Phillips are the real deal. The two receivers, who both stand under 6 feet tall, have been given the nickname “the mighty

Arizona soccer (9-7-4, 4-6-1 Pac-12) wrapped up its 2013 regular season with a 2-0 victory over rival Arizona State at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium on Thursday.

The Wildcats’ win over ASU was senior day for three Wildcats: Jazmin Ponce, Ana-Maria Montoya and Shannon Heinzler.

“It really hasn’t hit me yet,” Ponce said following the game. “I don’t want it to hit me yet.”

Even with a large contingent of Sun Devil fans in the crowd, including Sparky himself, Arizona got off to a quick start in the game when freshmen midfielder Jaden DeGracie found enough room just outside of ASU’s penalty area in the third minute to hit a perfect strike that was just out of the range of Sun Devil goalkeeper Chandler Morris.

Usually the one dishing out the assists, it was DeGracie’s first goal of the season.

“It was really exciting,” DeGracie said. “I can’t even really describe it. Looking at Ali Doller’s face when she came running toward me was just exactly how I felt.”

ASU looked as though it had tied the game up with about 20 minutes remaining in the first half, but its corner kick goal was disallowed when Wildcat goalkeeper Gabby

extend the lead but did not take advantage.

While the UA only ended up with a 16-12 shot advantage for the game, the Wildcats’ defense dominated the Sun Devils, giving them very few good looks at the goal.

“They’re a tough competitor,” Heinzler said. “We did what we’ve been working on all season, which was to stay tight on their players and winning balls in the air. Everyone also really showed up today, which helped.”

In just his first season at Arizona, head coach Tony Amato led the Wildcats to their first victory over ASU since 2009. While the UA’s postseason chances are slim, Amato says beating ASU is still a great way to end the season.

“The perfect way to end the season would to be in the NCAA tournament,” Amato said.

“But if that can’t happen, then we want to beat ASU.” “We probably knocked them out, which is a positive,” Amato added. “If we’re not going, they’re not going.”

The Wildcats will learn their postseason fate on Monday. The selection show will be broadcast at 4:30 p.m. EST on NCAA.com.

Wildcats had tradition of Homecoming magic in ’00s

C

Women’s basketball starts in NY

JAMES KELLEY

ollege football Homecoming games are normally a time to beat up on a helpless opponent to make your school look good in front of alumni, but in the 2000s, it has been something more for Arizona.

For years, Homecoming was more than just some alumni returning, a parade and a bonfire— it was actually a big football game.

After four straight years of nondescript opponents at Homecoming, Arizona is once again playing a ranked team and reigniting a tradition. Homecoming had been a big game with impressive results for the UA, but it lost some of its luster recently with games against the Washington schools and Utah and Colorado coming to town.

Now this season Arizona faces UCLA, No. 19 in the BCS, in a pivotal game in the Bruins’ and Wildcats’ quest for the Pac-12 South championship. It could recall echoes of past Homecoming glory.

Arizona is 6-2 in Homecoming games since 2005, despite having records of 3-8, 6-6, 5-7, 8-5, 8-5, 7-6, 4-8 and 8-5 during that span.

Even in years where the UA had little to no chance of making a bowl game, it rose up and beat a good team.

Arizona’s Homecoming magic began in 2005, when a 2-6 Wildcat team beat previously 8-0 and No. 7 UCLA 52-14 on Homecoming. The Bruins were the highestranked team the UA had beaten since a win over No. 1 Washington in 1992.

The next year on Homecoming, the Wildcats beat No. 8 California 24-20.

Then in 2007, Arizona again hosted UCLA on Homecoming, this time winning 34-27.

In 2008, though, No. 5 USC barely snapped the UA’s Homecoming winning streak, winning 17-10.

However, in 2009, Arizona beat Washington State 48-7 to set up a de facto Pac-10 championship game with Oregon.

In 2010, the UA celebrated the 125th anniversary of the school with a 44-14 pounding of Washington.

The next year, Arizona lost 34-21 to Utah, the same season former head coach Mike Stoops was fired.

Though Arizona played another uninspiring team last year, it made up for the Utah loss in the 56-31 win over Colorado as Ka’Deem Carey ran for a Pac-12 record 366

FORMER UA RUNNING BACK Mike Bell rushes the ball against UCLA on November 5, 2005. The Wildcats blew out the No. 7 and previously unbeaten Bruins on that Homecoming game, 52-14. Bell rushed for 153 yards on 16 carries.

The win started a stretch where the Wildcats have gone 6-2 in Homecoming games, including beating two top teams .

yards.

Now, after four years of yawn-inducing opponents, the UA hosts UCLA again. The Bruins have dropped in the rankings after playing Stanford and Oregon back-to-back, but since UCLA beat Arizona 66-10 last year and Saturday’s game has huge Rose Bowl implications, it is a big game again.

The question is, will the Wildcats capture the same magic that they had in the mid2000s on Saturday?

Arizona averaged 53,613 in attendance in 2005 when the Wildcats went 2-4 at home, but only averaged 47,931 last year when it

was 6-2 at home and played Oklahoma State, USC and ASU, beating the first two.

Maybe the return of alumni can wake up the sleepy Tucson locals and make ZonaZoo stay the whole time. After all, head coach Rich Rodriguez is 9-2 at home in his Arizona career, 3-0 this year — or perhaps there is just something about Homecoming at the UA.

Arizona women’s basketball will open the season this weekend in the Iona Tip-off Tournament.

The Wildcats will face Iona this Friday at 4:30 p.m. Arizona time in front of the Gaels’ home fans in New Rochelle, N.Y. It will stream on Pac-12.com.

The Gaels will be Arizona’s second opponent of the year, as the Wildcats beat Fort Lewis College 80-65 on Nov. 2 in Tucson in an exhibition. Junior guard Candice Warthen and freshman forward LaBrittney Jones led Arizona to victory over Fort Lewis with a combined 47 points, 13 rebounds and 8 steals.

Iona is led by junior guard Damika Martinez, who averaged 18.1 points per game last season, and sophomore forward Joy Adams, who averaged 10.7 rebounds per game last season. Arizona will be Iona’s first opponent of the 2013-14 season.

Arizona head coach Niya Butts said she is looking for a better defensive showing from her team as the season starts.

“We’ve got to get better defensively,” Butts said.

“As a coach, you always want more, and I want more for our team. … Good enough is not good enough in our book; we don’t get complacent.”

The Iona Tip-off Tournament consists of four teams playing a total of four games. Michigan faces off with Bowling Green in the first game of a double-header on Friday. Arizona and Iona make up the second half of that double-header.

The tournament concludes on Saturday, as Arizona will face either Bowling Green or Michigan in the first game of a double-header at 11 a.m.

Arizona time. The game will stream on Pac-12. com. In the second game of the double-header, Iona will square off against whichever team doesn’t play Arizona in the first game.
