Therapy dogs more pup-ular Emotional support dogs, a type of therapy animal, are becoming more popular around campus, even though they don’t have the same privileges as service dogs BY VICTORIA TEPLITZ The Daily Wildcat
Recently, it seems that more and more dogs claimed as emotional support animals have been seen around the UA campus. Their handlers believe that this certification enables their dog to go wherever they want to go. However, an emotional support animal is not the same as a service animal, and there are limits to where you may take them. Those who suffer from emotional distress may qualify to have an emotional support animal, whereas those with severe disabilities, such as epilepsy, qualify to own a service dog to help detect possibly dangerous situations. According to the UA Disability Resource Center’s “Service and Companion Animal Guidelines,” a dog who “only provides comfort or emotional support” is not a service dog, and is therefore not upheld by the same guidelines as a service dog. “A person with a companion animal will have to come in and request it as an accommodation, then we will assess if it is reasonable,” said Sue Kroeger, director for the UA Disability Resource Center. “You must be able to take your service dog into a public accommodation, but you are not given that same right with emotional support animals.” Students with good documentation might be granted a reasonable accommodation that would allow them to keep their emotional support animal with them in the residence hall. However, living accommodations do not apply everywhere on campus, according to Kroeger. While dogs may need a certificate to get through some doors at the UA, there are spots that welcome dogs regardless of certification. “Service dogs are more than welcome, and our patio is dog-friendly,” said Vinson Siqueiros, a manager at Gentle Ben’s on University Boulevard. The restaurant provides water bowls for the dogs that accompany the customer, according to Siqueiros. Pet owners may be persuaded to register their pooch as an emotional support animal after examining potential rent costs associated with housing an animal. Fees for having a pet off-campus range in the hundreds and generally are not fully refundable. According to the Pet-Friendly Apartment Directory on nokillpimacounty. com, a pet deposit can cost anywhere from $150-500, not including an additional

monthly pet-rent fee. If a document certifies your pet as an emotional support animal, renters can potentially avoid the cost of paying deposits and pet-rent. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, “Conditions and restrictions that housing providers apply to pets may not be applied to assistance animals. For example, while housing providers may require applicants or residents to pay a pet deposit, they may not require applicants and residents to pay a deposit for an assistance animal.” It is noted that the housing provider may still require people to pay damage costs if their animal causes any. These policies are written in an effort to remain fair to all who may or may not have a disability. Pet-rent at various apartments may be outrageously expensive to pay, but they
are there for a reason, as some residents who are allergic to animals may find comfortable living in a non-pet-friendly apartment. “We have residents that live here with pets, and they all have documents on file. Otherwise, we are not a pet-friendly complex,” said Karlie Fisher, affiliate for The Cadence apartments. Even though the complex is not necessarily pet-friendly, it must abide by the Fair Housing Act and recognize its residents’ necessities by allowing them to have a service animal, be it for emotional support or service. Emotional support animals may not receive all of the same privileges as service animals at the UA. Nevertheless, they are still becoming more pup-ular. — Follow Victoria Teplitz @TorTeplit

‘Battlefront’ reboot fun for all ages by Alex Furrier
The Daily Wildcat
R
ose-colored glasses just aren’t what they used to be. Few things in life create stronger nostalgia than the obsessions of childhood. As was the case with the majority of young boys, I was obsessed with Star Wars. The first VHS I owned was a preowned “Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back,” and the first Star Wars game I owned was the greatest: “Star Wars: Battlefront.” Literal days of my childhood were spent taking over the galaxy and in split-screen rumbles with friends. 2015 is the year of rebirth for the Star Wars franchise. “The Force Awakens” comes to screens this December, and earlier this week, the next-gen reboot, “Star Wars Battlefront” arrived. Does the game measure up to its nostalgia-laced predecessors? To find out, I’ve invited my 13-yearold self to review the game with me in a head-to-head that will decide once and for all the merit of this “Battlefront” reboot. Alex Furrier: Would you call yourself a “Star Wars: Battlefront” fan? Alex Furrier (age 13): Uh, duh. I’ve probably spent close to 100 hours on the battlefield. I’ve taken over the galaxy as the Rebel Alliance, the Empire, the Republic and the Trade Federation. So yeah, you could say I’m a fan. What about you? Furrier: Yeah, I’m definitely a fan of “Star Wars: Battlefront” and “Star Wars,” in general. I’m not an obsessed fan now that I’m older, but few things produce as much unadulterated joy as Star Wars, especially with Episode VII coming out in just a month. It’s— AF13: WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT EPISODE VII!? Furrier: Don’t worry about it. Just know that new “Star Wars” material will always be in the pipeline, as long as there is money to be made, and nostalgia to bring happiness. You experienced Episodes I-III in the theaters as a kid, and now a new generation gets
EA Games
to experience the magic. Speaking of the next generation, let’s talk new “Battlefront.” What— AF13: I love it. Furrier: OK. Piece of advice, man: Don’t interrupt people. It’s a really great way to piss people off without— AF13: I loved it so much. Definitely my favorite game right now. I would say it’s a 9.5/10. Furrier: Let’s hold off on giving it a score yet. That’s not how reviews work. You’ve got to go over the content and explain the conclusion you come to, so let’s take a step back. You said you loved it, but what about the game made you love it? AF13: Dude. It’s Star Wars. What’s not to love? Furrier: Specifically, though? AF13: Well, it looks a lot better than the old ones. Amazing graphics. The maps are really cool, and I especially love Endor. Walker Assault is awesome, too. Taking
down an AT-AT felt like I was really a part of the Rebel Alliance. The odds were against us, but when we pulled it off it was amazing. So the parts that were awesome were my favorite. What about you? Furrier: I agree about the graphics—the game is gorgeous. Let’s try and sound smarter than we really are, though, by calling it aesthetics. Great aesthetics. I definitely think those moments that feel as if you’re in the movie are the heart of this game. Nowadays, when I play a great game, the best moments create a feeling of “Wow, that was really cool,” but with “Star Wars Battlefront” the best moments bring back childhood wonder. No other game can do that. It really does feel like you’re in the movie, and that’s about all I ever wanted as a kid. How does the game compare to the old-school Battlefronts? AF13: The gunplay is basically the same, but the game modes are different. They got rid of capturing checkpoints to win games except in a specific game mode, and also got rid of Galactic Conquest. I guess that is the one thing I miss about the old games. Now, almost
everything is online multiplayer with a bunch of crazy game modes. Also, they don’t have anything from Episodes I-III, which is lame. Furrier: Yeah, developer EA DICE definitely seemed to focus on quality over quantity. The game is polished and refined. EA DICE had the impossible job of simultaneously rebooting and reinventing something so many people loved. You can’t please everyone. I’m happy with the way the game turned out, and my only gripe is that it does feel like the publisher Electronic Arts is holding back content to release as DLC. As it currently stands, this Battlefront has two-thirds of the amount of content I would expect from any other game. Any last thoughts before the final verdict? AF13: Playing as the heroes is super cool. My favorite to play as is Boba Fett, but whenever Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker show up and dual each other, I lose my mind. You? Furrier: Some moments that spontaneously occur are incredible, like being ambushed, jet-packing
into the air and then blowing everyone away with a missile launcher. You can’t put a price on that. Details really make this game great: a jetpack that explodes when shot, or the iconic ping-ping-ping sound of Boba Fett’s gun. We’ve reached the part where we give it a rating, what do you— AF13: I would give it a 9.5/10. Or just a Star Wars/10, because those are the same thing. I love it. Furrier: Well, I think you hit the nail on the head. I would give it an 8.5, with the Star Wars-ness of the game giving it a two-point bump from a 6.5. It would be higher if there was more content such as maps, character customization, etc. With that in mind, “Star Wars Battlefront” may not be the best game of the year, but no doubt it’s the most fun I’ve had playing video games this year.
Final (Unanimous) Verdict: Star Wars/10 — Follow Alex Furrier @badjazzmaverick

the reel deal with alex guyton “Spotlight” engagingly chronicles the story of how The Boston Globe’s investigative team, Spotlight, exposed the Catholic Church’s history of sexually abusing children in Boston
T
he revelation that priests of the Catholic Church had been sexually abusing children systematically came to light in the early 2000s, shaking the world and one of its oldest institutions to their cores. What was the story behind the story, though? As it turns out, there’s really nothing fancy to the backstory of one of the most influential pieces of investigative journalism in recent memory. Backed by strong performances from its entire cast, “Spotlight” turns the basic tenets of journalism, hunting down sources and asking the right questions, into compelling, heartbreaking drama. It will leave you filled with the moral outrage that something should have been done about this fiendish epidemic so much sooner, but you will also leave with the resolution that, in the end, something was finally done. The Boston Globe around the turn of the 21st century is facing some changes, but, then again, when was the last time print journalism wasn’t facing major changes? The newspaper is bringing in a new editor, Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber). The first strike against him is that he’s bounced around from The New York Times to The Miami Herald and now to the Globe; the second strike, and
certainly the most severe, is that he’s a Jew in this insular Catholic community. Schreiber’s Baron, who speaks with the quietly stilted manner of a man who chooses his words very carefully, wants the paper’s long-term investigative unit, Spotlight, to look into sporadic allegations that Catholic priests in the area have been molesting children. In Boston, you would be most likely to see the headline “Catholic Priests Sexually Abuse Children” in The National Enquirer, right alongside a feature about a half-man, half-wolf baby. This is about the amount of seriousness that Spotlight’s head, Robbie Robinson (Michael Keaton), meets the task with. He takes it back to his Spotlight team, which is located in cramped offices that almost seemed to have been forgotten by the rest of the newspaper. Spotlight consists of only four people: Robbie, Michael Rezendes (Mark Ruffalo), Sacha Pfeiffer (Rachel McAdams) and Matt Carroll (Brian d’Arcy James). They’re diligent reporters, and they get to work retreading leads that the newspaper has looked into before. The reporters for Spotlight seem to be a cut above the rest, simply for the fact that they carry their task out to the very end. Previously, all other reporters had dismissed any claims against the
Church as the protestations of the overly zealous and the deranged. However, as Spotlight keeps digging and ignoring those around them, who tell them that there isn’t a story, they keep finding out more. And, boy, is it ever hard to ignore their surroundings. The hallmark of this movie is how it shows the consummate, insidious presence that the Catholic Church has in the city of Boston, like ivy that fuses itself to a trellis. There are small instances, like a cross around a neck, and larger examples, like a towering church building looming in the background. Whatever the size, they are everywhere. “If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to abuse one,” one character morbidly quips. Two movies this fall have established the consequences of the insular atmosphere of Boston, where people turn a blind eye to the misdeeds of their friends. There was “Black Mass,” where Johnny Depp played South Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, and now there’s “Spotlight.” “Spotlight” is the better of the two in nearly every aspect. Ruffalo, playing a quirky, lurching Rezendes; McAdams, playing Pfeiffer like she plays most every other character (that’s a good thing); and Keaton, as
a smirking Robinson, who seems to always know more than he lets on, pursues leads, knocks down doors— never literally, but it feels like the overzealous Rezendes made to do so at one point—and liaison with lawyers who seem to be on opposite sides of the aisle (Billy Crudup and Stanley Tucci). The tension and drama mount with the mystery. We know that they’re going to nail this case, but how are they going to do it? What’s the big break going to be? As it turns out, yes, some things do break their way, but they wouldn’t have even been in a position to benefit from these breaks if they hadn’t done their due diligence. There’s nothing sexy about journalism; it’s phone call after phone call, pens, steno pads and combing through old, dusty documents. The filmmaking of “Spotlight” is as sound as its subjects: solid through and through.

Committee reports: Ariz. universities BY Ava Garcia
The Daily Wildcat
The Arizona Board of Regents gave reports on their committee meetings Thursday. The reports covered the audit committee, the business and finance committee and the academic and student affairs committee, each of which met Nov. 18. The audit committee started the event by reporting on their discussion and findings. Regent Bill Ridenour stated that reports from the auditor general, internal auditors and external auditors were reviewed, including annual university financial audits and management letters. Internal audits also covered academics, health services, athletics and information technology. Ridenour reported that for the first time in over a decade, the auditor general did not have any findings in their financial audits management letters to report. There were recommendations for improvements of several audits, however, Ridenour did not think they were significant enough to discuss during the report. Annual audit plans were also discussed during the committee meeting. “It is still early in the year, but the chief auditors report making good progress on their fiscal year 2016 plans,” Ridenour said. According to Ridenour, Arizona State University’s chief audit executive has taken a position at North Texas University, leaving a position at ASU that needs to be filled. They are now searching for a new chief auditor but do not expect their 2016 audit plan to be affected significantly by this search.

Regent Greg Patterson, Chair Jay Helier and UA President Ann Weaver Hart listen to committee reports on Nov. 19. The regents heard reports from the audit committee, the business and finance committee and the academic and student affairs committee.
The audit committee also approved new internal audit review boards as part of the audit redesign to be authorized by regents in a new board policy. The Business and Finance Committee then reported on their findings. There are several new proposals set to be adopted, including the Roy Place Building lease agreement for the UA to rent a building in downtown Tucson, according to the board’s consent agenda. The full year financial results of 2015 and the quarterly update of financial status were reviewed by the committee during the event.
“I think all of us as regents feel assured that we are able to make correct decisions on finance and capital because we are provided with detailed, clear, concise information that helps us answer the questions that we need before we make decisions,” said Regent Treasurer Rick Myers, who reported on the Business and Finance Committee. The committee also talked about ideas to better award financial aid to students. Myers said they want to reach a broader amount of students and help them have better results with this aid. “If we can help them to achieve their desires,
gain what they need to gain out of their college experience, as well as to get the college with financial aid, that would certainly be good,” Myers said. The Academic and Student Affairs Committee gave the last report of the three. Greg Patterson, vice chair of the board, reported that there were nine presentations given during the committee meeting, including financial aid reports and high school statistics. According to Patterson, Arizona student loan debt is typically lower than that of students in other states. Yet, the amount of students graduating with debt is “creeping up a little bit.” Patterson also discussed the committee’s report on community college transfer credits. He emphasized that the board wants to make these transfers as “seamless as possible.” The committee also discussed the high school report card that includes statistics like how many students take dual enrollment classes in high schools and how many students continue on to college in public Arizona universities. About 84 percent of Arizona students who went on to attend college in public Arizona universities went in with no deficiencies in credit, according to Patterson. He said that getting this statistic higher is one of the board’s goals. “We want as many people to graduate as possible. You want them to be as qualified as possible. Then you want them to attend universities if that is their goal,” Patterson said. “We would like to make sure that is their goal.” — Follow Ava Garcia @ava_garcia_
UAPD’s Sgt. Barrera takes pride in UA BY Ava Garcia
The Daily Wildcat
To some, becoming a police officer appears to entail just giving out parking tickets. To others, it is a non-stop action movie, chasing down the bad guys and stopping crime in its tracks. While both of these ideas may correlate with the actual duties of a police officer, Sgt. Filbert Barrera of the University of Arizona Police Department shows a side of the police that is not always the first thing that comes to mind: change and compassion for one’s community. Barrera has been an officer with UAPD since March 1998. While he did not have prior law enforcement experience, he said he had always been interested in the field.
Before he started at UAPD, he held an internship position as a photographer for the Arizona Daily Star during his time at Pima Community College. Barrera also pursued the emergency medical services field. He received his emergency medical technician certification while he was still under 21 years old. However, because of his young age, he was uninsured to drive the ambulance, a requirement for the job, and did not pursue a career as an EMT. Barrera continued his interest in law enforcement and public safety, and when he was 22 years old, he got his first job as a police officer at the UAPD. UAPD Chief of Police Brian Seastone hired Barrera in 1998 and explained how he got involved with UAPD.
“We’re very focused on the community oriented aspect,” Seastone said. “From day one, Fil was really on board with that, and that’s what really I think attracted him to the UAPD.” Barrera echoed this sentiment himself and said that the community and the pride of the school have contributed to him staying with UAPD for over 18 years now. “It was the people. The people I worked for and the people who work for me now are really good,” Barrera said. “I just love the atmosphere. I’ve met so many interesting people and it’s just been cool.” Barrera has climbed the ranks over the years, ranging from a patrol officer to a

motorcycle corporal to sergeant. Additionally, Barrera is the officer behind UAPD tweets, email and Campus Watch alerts. He holds the responsibility of the UAPD public information officer, charging him with reaching out to the community on behalf of the department. Barrera also holds a leadership role over two crime prevention officers. These officers deal with outreach and safety education, which range from talking about safety at freshman orientations to inspecting the safety of buildings. The changing nature of the job can create challenges for Barrera. “One of things that is challenging for my job is the fact that we have a brand-new crop of kids that come in every year, … so we’re constantly trying to make sure we find new and different ways [to reach out] to kids,” Barrera said. “We’re having to do everything electronically, and finding the different mediums such as social media and email.” Despite these difficulties, Barrera still remains optimistic about the job. He said he is especially proud of the fact that he gets to work with the design of UAPD T-shirts, hats and banners. One of his favorite job duties is to work basketball games, where he gets to sit at a court-side table while monitoring McKale Center. “That’s like one of the [most fun] things you could do here,” Barrera said. “It definitely has its rewards here, and that’s why I like it here. There’s work and then there’s times where work is more like fun.” Apart from officer duties, Barrera has been involved with putting together the UAPD’s annual golf tournament to raise money for the Special Olympics. The event has raised just under $50,000 in its seven years, according to Barrera. Seastone said that Barrera goes out into the community to find sponsors and donors for the event. “He jumps in and loves to be involved in nontraditional police work,” said Keith Brittain, the UAPD assistant chief and Barrera’s colleague. “One of our tenets is to be a partner to the community, and he really takes that to heart and tries to involve the community beyond the campus to the city.” Barrera said he considers the event to be very rewarding. The planning begins in January and ends with the event in June. “It’s just something that I really enjoy because it’s just like police work: you get to help people you don’t even know,” Barrera said. “It’s very fulfilling.” Though police officers are able to retire after 20 years of work, Barrera said he plans to work until he reaches 25 years of experience at the UAPD. After his time with UAPD, Barrera plans on pursuing an advanced degree or working in public information for another company. He has also thought about coaching a high school baseball team because of his experience as a coach for his son’s baseball team and occasionally his football team. In the meantime, he will stay with UAPD. “It’s kind of funny. I’ve been here 18 years and I’m kind of on the downhill now. It’s gone by so fast,” Barrera said. “It’s been good here.”

Meet Arizona’s Geriatrician of the Year BY Amanda Oien
The Daily Wildcat
Meet Dr. Jeannie K. Lee, the assistant director for the UA Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, an associate professor in the UA College of Pharmacy and the newly recognized Geriatrician of the Year. The Arizona Geriatrics Society “recognizes and honors exemplary and outstanding health care professionals who are passionate about caring for older adults and have made significant contributions in the field of geriatric medicine or gerontology” each year. This year, the society selected Lee. Lee said the start of her medical career in the medical field began after her graduation from the University of Georgia College of
Pharmacy, when she began her pharmacy residency training at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington D.C. Lee then began full-time clinical work in Washington at a Department of Defense facility and soon began developing inter-professional clinical programs within internal medicine, cardiology and geriatrics. After about eight years, Lee said she came into the education side of her profession. “I really enjoy teaching and interacting with students and the mentoring aspect of academia,” Lee said. Lee currently works at the Southern Arizona VA, the Banner – Health University Medical Center and still actively practices. She is also a research associate for the Arizona Center on Aging, which
served as a mentorship for Lee when she began teaching and has helped her continue her research. Lee focuses on geriatrics, the branch of medicine that deals with the health and care of the elderly. “I really love working with older adults,” Lee said. “Because caring for adults takes a village sometimes, inter-professional practice is natural and is a very team-oriented care environment, which I really enjoy working in.” Lee said her interest in geriatrics began with her close relationship with her grandparents, who she grew up with and lived in the same home with. “I think I had a natural tendency to interact well with older patients,” Lee said. If Lee had to choose one of the many wonderful aspects of her
job, she said she would choose the impact she has on patients, the inter-professional care team and her students. “The challenging part of being in geriatrics is that there are more questions than answers,” Lee said. Because of the other health issues that come along with older age, Lee described the difficulty of research studies with frail, older adults. Unlike many other careers, Lee finds herself never knowing what each day will bring. “Because I teach, research and work on clinical practice as well as a lot of service related to our college and department, my day is different every single day,” Lee said. What does remain constant, however, is Lee’s interaction with patients, students and colleagues. However, Lee tries to “carve out
time” to work on her research projects. “No two days are the same, it’s a new day every day,” she said. Lee said she is honored to be recognized by the Arizona Geriatrics Society as the Geriatrician of the Year. “It’s really a huge honor for me, and I’m really glad to be able to work with the Arizona Geriatrics Society to educate our providers to provide better care for our older adults,” Lee said. Lee applauds the society and the work it does to ensure care of the elderly. She said she feels “we’re all in this together.”

UN interns turn out pockets by maddie pickens The Daily Wildcat
T
he United Nations is perhaps one of the most well-recognized global entities in the world. For better or worse, they have influence in nearly every country in the world and fund research, development and policy work. It makes sense, then, that aspiring students of international relations or foreign affairs would look to the U.N. to get practical experience in their field. Internships with the U.N. are flashy. They look great on a resume and they could make or break someone’s chances to really launch a career in international diplomacy. There’s just one catch. Internships with the U.N. are unpaid. The U.N. isn’t shy about this fact. They know that they can still attract plenty of talent without having to worry about paying
them. And every year they do attract plenty of talent—rich talent. The U.N. operates primarily out of two major cities: New York City and Geneva, Switzerland. Neither of them is especially famous for their low cost of living. In fact, the U.N.’s unpaid internships first came under fire in August, when it came to light that a 22-year-old intern from New Zealand was living out of a tent outside Geneva because he couldn’t afford anything else. U.N. interns rely primarily on their parents or other outside sources of funds to live in New York or Geneva for the duration of their internship. And that’s where the problem lies—it effectively cancels out the opportunity for students from developing nations or impoverished backgrounds to get involved in issues of international diplomacy. The U.N. claims that it can’t pay its interns because of a resolution passed in 1997 that prevents payment of nonstaff. However, their intern intake has also increased from 131 in 1996 to more than 4,000 in the 2014, according to an intern for the The Economist. Clearly, they benefit
from the free labor. The interns who can afford to work for free don’t exactly embody the workplace diversity that the U.N. should ideally strive for. Moreover, those interns from developing countries who can afford to live without pay for two to six months may not be the cream of the crop. Rather, their employment could reinforce nepotism or elitism, in particular if their internship allows them to later get a position in international diplomacy. The U.S. Department of State offers paid internships—while the job isn’t necessarily financially lucrative, it helps interns afford to live in Washington D.C. or commute there. There are many similarly compensated programs in various developed countries. It’s a shame, then, that the U.N.
“
unabashedly avoids providing a living wage to their student staff. Moreover, they seem to reject any attempts to change this—multiple protests by current interns have been broken up and ignored. U.N. security even demanded that VICE News delete their photos of the most recent protest. It may be expensive for the U.N. to pay their interns. It would certainly be inconvenient. But it could provide an opportunity to attract even more talent to the organization and, more importantly, avoid the nepotism that can result from only permitting the privileged to get involved.
The interns who can afford to work for free don’t exactly embody the workplace diversity that the U.N. should ideally strive for.”

#MillionStudentMarch: get a scholarship or go home BY scott baca
The Daily Wildcat
L
et me preface this column by saying I really wish outof-state tuition at the UA wasn’t so high. But, regardless of that sentiment, the Million Student March movement is one of the most repulsive, selfish and shortsighted rallies I have witnessed in the last few years. College students around the nation are protesting tuition costs and student debt. Their list of three demands are: tuition-free college, cancellation of all student debt and a minimum wage of $15 for all campus workers. That’s hilariously insane. Tuition-free college won’t happen, and it shouldn’t. What these protesters are probably envisioning when they think of
college being “tuition-free” is their college delivering its same-quality education, only without the leering debt waiting for students after graduation. There is no way that is feasible. If college was free and the level of education and value of a degree remained the same, I would be totally on board. The fact is, it is naïve to believe that a purely government-funded school system will operate smoothly. Because free public high schools are doing so well, right? If we are concerned with how much our diplomas actually matter now, can you imagine if tuition-free college happened? If college was free, according to my economy 200 class, the demand for a degree would jump up. The more demand, the more college students enrolled. The more college students enrolled would lead to more college graduates. College graduates would flood into the job market at an unprecedented rate and you may not get that precious job you were
gunning for while in school. The fact is, college would turn into high school 2.0 due to the uptick of graduates. The degree would become more worthless and yield less of a return, similar to high school diplomas. High school graduates have a median income of more than $5,000 higher than those who didn’t graduate, according to 2013 National Center for Education statistics. If college was free, an income discrepancy between college graduates and those without a college degree similar to that one wouldn’t be a crazy idea. The master’s degree would be the new bachelor’s degree. That pattern would continue until each degree would lose its worth, and we’d be stuck in school for 15 years to have any discernible skill needed in society. I admire the passion of this Million Student March—they have set up a website and a hashtag trending like wildfire—but I have to question the thought behind it.
Who would this be helping? Would it be helping the poor, inner-city kid who gets terrible high school grades because she works an overnight shift to help feed her family, or a middle-class suburbanite who just hates not having enough money to go out on the weekends? The fact is, that inner-city girl isn’t going to get into college, and she won’t be given a chance at higher education. According to an article from DoSomething.org, less than 30 percent of high school students from the bottom quarter of the income spectrum will get into a four-year school. But, yeah, let’s throw more tax dollars at the frat dude who will be pissed if he has to pay off some loans. Lower-income students do get a lot of financial aid and scholarship opportunities, and I think expanding those is a good idea, but the majority of people in college are already well-off, and this would be a very shortsighted way of dealing with middle-class people’s debt.
The broader picture here is that our generation is entitled. If you go to college and don’t have a scholarship, you know beforehand that the cost will be steep. If it is such a problem, why not try community college? Save two years of tuition costs, but yeah activist, you’re right, that would be so lame. Even requesting this tuition-free college thing is laughably ignorant. Don’t like loans? Get a scholarship! I have four siblings, and there was no way my parents, who are both teachers, could afford college for all of us. Well, we all got full-ride scholarships. I got a high test score, but a few of my brothers played football. We all found our own ways to avoid the debt. Sometimes, doing work yourself is necessary, and the Million Student March is a ridiculously entitled demand.

‘Tis the season to not be mad over a cup by graham place The Daily Wildcat
H
alloween is over, which means it’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year. Stores are putting up their Christmas decorations far too early, advertisements for holiday sales are filling mailboxes and inboxes, and Starbucks has transitioned to its seasonal Christmas cups. Or have they? According to many Christians on social media, Starbucks failed to do the latter. With no Christmas tree, no Santa and no religious symbols on their cups, it has become apparent that the company “hates Jesus,” to use the words of Joshua Feuerstein, the Arizona Facebookevangelist leading the charge against the coffee behemoth. This year, Starbucks chose a minimalist red gradient for its seasonal cups, accented by its traditional green logo. Red and green cups? That’s not Christmas! That’s … Christmas. Why do we all care so much about a simple coffee cup? The cups are ubiquitous in our lives. They are in our hands, on our desks and in our cars and have thus become the battleground of the fight over religious expression in public spaces. I care about these cups and these conversations because I believe they are a necessary step in creating an America where religious freedom means that anyone can feel comfortable being open about their faith or lack thereof. Christianity is so widespread in our nation that we accept its rule and allow it to dominate our culture. Christmas is the assumed holiday of choice. Our coins and dollars say “In God We Trust,” we’re at 44-for-44 Christian presidents, and we pledge allegiance to the flag of “one
“
nation under God.” I admit, these examples feel like the same tired cliches you hear from everyone in favor of a more secular government and nation. But they became tired cliches for a reason. Those of us who aren’t a part of the Christian majority are tired of living in a country where it is assumed we are in fact a part of it. So to Starbucks: Thank you. I appreciate that you’ve made a conscious effort to not exclude any of your customers who may not be a part of a particular faith. It is a small but nonetheless significant gesture in a country that assumes I must be a part of the Christian majority. And to Feuerstein: Please take a step back, maybe cut back on the caffeine a bit and think about how you’re focusing your energy. If the design of a coffee cup is in any way hindering your ability to practice your faith, I think you need to reevaluate some of your beliefs. People of all faiths should be comfortable as they go about their day working at their jobs, spending time at home and, of course, buying their coffee. If that means lessening the extent to which we cater to the Christian majority, then so be it. And if you are a part of that group, please recognize that no one is taking your faith away from you; we are simply asking that it not be forced onto us. So you can have your faith, and I’ll have a Peppermint Mocha, hold the religion.
If the design of a coffee cup is in any way hindering your ability to practice your faith, I think you need to re-evaluate some of your beliefs.”

Arizona surges into Sweet Sixteen BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat
The Arizona women’s soccer team is headed to the Sweet Sixteen for just the second time in program history after beating Santa Clara in the NCAA Second Round on Thursday night in Palo Alto, California. It was the second time that Arizona beat Santa Clara this season, as both games concluded with 2-1 Wildcat victories. Arizona may not have been playing at home this time around, but senior forward Hannah Wong led the way for the Wildcats, nonetheless. After a rather quiet start to the game for both sides, Wong stepped up and drilled a free kick into the top left corner of the net to give the Wildcats a 1-0 lead in the 32nd minute. Less than a minute later, Wong struck a shot to the nearly the same exact spot to give the Wildcats a two-goal lead. It marked just the second time this season that an Arizona player has scored twice in the same game. The first was by Gabi Stoian, the team’s leading scorer, in the season opener. Stoian, who missed the last four games due to a quad injury, returned to action and played 50 minutes while recording one shot. Her return to the lineup was a boost for the Wildcats, but it was Wong’s brilliance along with impressive play by the Wildcats’

defense—which held the Broncos to just five shots in the first half—that allowed Arizona to take the 2-0 lead into halftime. “I thought we played really well in the first half and [Wong] had two outstanding goals,” Arizona head coach Tony Amato said. The second half was the polar opposite, though. Santa Clara had a few chances in the Wildcats’ box in the early goings of the second half, but Arizona’s defense was able to avoid
any damage. Arizona goalkeeper Lainey Burdett made an acrobatic diving save in the 59th minute, but the rebound created another chance for Santa Clara. Arizona defender Haley Silverberg cleared it to safety, however. The Broncos continued to possess the ball and push the pace as they outshot the Wildcats 8-1 in the second half. But it wasn’t until the 84th minute that Santa Clara would get on the scoreboard. Some
cohesive passing led to an open shot for Ashley Doyle who placed it past Burdett and into the right side of the net. It cut the Wildcats’ lead to 2-1, but the Broncos still needed another goal to keep their season alive. Much like the beginning of the second half, the Broncos continued to push into Arizona’s territory but the Wildcats’ defense, along with a save by Burdett, would ultimately punch Arizona’s ticket into the Sweet Sixteen. “In the second half, Santa Clara had much of the ball and we were defending with all our might,” Amato said. “We knew it would look like that in the second half, up two goals … This team is very resilient and [they battle].” This is the furthest the Wildcats have advanced in the NCAA Tournament since 2005. Another win would make this the deepest postseason run in program history, but the Wildcats will have to get past Stanford first. Regardless, Arizona has already faced both teams this season. The Wildcats lost 3-2 in double overtime to Stanford in Tucson and 3-2 to BYU in a preseason exhibition in Provo, Utah. Arizona will have to hope history doesn’t repeat itself this time. — Follow Ryan Kelapire @RKelapireUA
Streaking ‘Cats head to San Diego BY Ivan Leonard The Daily Wildcat
Saturday will present a battle of the undefeated when Arizona women’s basketball travels to San Diego, as both teams look to improve to 3-0 on the season. The Wildcats are coming off of a dominating performance in their home opener as they defeated Howard 65-28. Arizona held the Bison to 15.8 percent shooting from the field and forced 30 turnovers Wednesday night. Victoria Gonzalez was the only Bison in double figures with 14, while no other Howard player scored more than five. “It’s not very often that a team does that,” said Arizona guard Michal Miller, who had 16 points against Howard. “But when you do, you have to take pride in that because it is hard to keep a team from scoring.” Led by JaLea Bennett’s 18 points and four rebounds, the Wildcats also showcased their depth, as 10 Arizona players played at least 12 minutes and none surpassed 30.
Point guard Taryn Griffey has lead the Wildcats in the early goings of this season, racking up 12.5 points and four assists per game. Bennett is second in scoring and is the only other Wildcat in double figures with 10.5 per game. San Diego is coming off of an 86-64 victory against Cal State Northridge and is averaging 85 points per game thus far. Offensively, the Toreros have a well-balanced attack and multiple players averaging at least 10 points per game, Arizona cannot key too much on one player. Malina Hood is the Toreros’ leading scorer with 19 points per game, while her sister, Maya, complements her with 17.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. While San Diego has been seemingly scoring at will, Arizona’s defense has been stingy so far in this young season. The Wildcats currently allow just 43.5 points per game on 30 percent shooting from the field and are more than ready for the challenges the Toreros present.
Although the Wildcats have just two double-digit scorers, their starters have made solid contributions and all five reserves that have seen action. Players such as Miller and Malena Washington are solid scoring options off the bench, while Destiny Graham and Lauren Evans are two of the top rebounders. Farrin Bell rounds out the reserves with her solid guard play that adds depth to the backcourt. With the bench playing so well, the Wildcats do not have to worry about a dropoff when the starters need a breather— keeping the players fresh over the course of the season. Check out TuneIn on Arizona Athletics’ website and KTUC 1400 AM for tipoff at 5 p.m. Saturday, or check the Arizona women’s basketball Twitter feed to stay posted on the game.

Territorial Cup awaits next chapter Rich Rodriguez and company are prepared to take on Todd Graham and Mike Bercovici in the latest meeting of the Territorial Cup BY Kyle Hansen
The Daily Wildcat
Arizona and ASU are ready to do battle once again in the most recent edition of the Territorial Cup on Saturday at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. Last year’s Territorial Cup decided the Pac-12 South, thanks to a Stanford upset over UCLA. Arizona was No. 11 in the country at the time, while ASU was No. 13. Arizona Stadium was filled to capacity as the Wildcats went on to defeat the Sun Devils 42-35, earning Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez his first victory over ASU’s Todd Graham. “Our staffs know each other, our fans talk about it year-round, so our players and coaches hear about it all the time,” Rodriguez said. “There’s usually a lot at stake and it’s still the biggest game on our schedule every year.” Arizona (6-5, 3-5 Pac-12 Conference) became bowl eligible after a 37-30 double-overtime victory over Utah on senior night. ASU (5-5, 3-4) still needs that sixth win to make it into the bowl discussion as well. ASU started the season at No. 15 in the country, but an early loss to Texas A&M took them out of the top 25. The Sun Devils have since been up and down, with convincing wins over UCLA and Washington, but also big losses to Utah, USC and a tripleovertime loss to Oregon. ASU quarterback Mike Bercovici
replaced starter Taylor Kelly in the Territorial Cup last season and went on to throw for 123 yards on 14of-22 passing, two scores and one interception, as he attempted to bring the Sun Devils back from being down early. Bercovici will be looking for a different outcome this year in his final showdown with Arizona. “He can make all the throws,” Rodriguez said. “This guy has got as strong an arm as anybody in our league. He can be really quick. That’s the thing that scares you. You can bring pressure and have a guy unblocked, but he’s got such a quick release, he can get it there in a hurry.” Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon is day-to-day with a head injury, while running back Nick Wilson is still recovering from knee injury and is listed as questionable. Scooby Wright III is not expected to play and Jake Matthews, his linebacker replacement, is also out for the season with a foot injury. The Wildcats received big performances from their young players against ASU last year. Wilson ran for 178 yards and three scores, including a 72-yarder. Solomon went 15-for-21 for 208 yards and two scores, both of which were thrown to receiver Samajie Grant. Wright sacked Kelly on the third play of the game, forcing a fumble in which Anthony Lopez recovered and returned for the first touchdown of the game.

This will mark the 10th game of the season that Wright has not played in. A preseason All-American, Wright’s presence has been sorely missed on a defense that has consistently ranked at the bottom of the country in terms of total yards allowed and yards per game. ASU knocked Arizona off 58-21 the last time the Territorial Cup was
in Tempe. The Wildcats will look to write a different script and a new chapter in the rivalry to end the regular season this year. “I’ve kind of forgotten about [the last game in Tempe],” senior wide receiver David Richards said. “I think I am more focused on last year’s win. I think that is what has been on all of our minds and I think we can do it
again this year.” Arizona will kickoff for the Territorial Cup against ASU at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. Catch the game on Fox Sports 1.

A house divided: pranks aside, it’s game time BY Matt Wall
The Daily Wildcat
T
he winter-chilled state of Arizona is about to heat back up. The game has been circled on both teams’ calendars since the game decided who would advance to the Pac-12 Conference Championship Game a year ago. Arizona and ASU are set to square off in the annual Territorial Cup matchup Saturday in
Tempe. The rivalry is known to get a little overheated to say the least. Born and raised in Arizona, I know this to be fact. My house was divided growing up. For obvious reasons, rivalry week holds a special place in my heart. But few truly understand what it means to be part of such a rivalry more than Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez. Before last season, ASU football head coach Todd Graham had got the best of Rodriguez for two seasons. But, as we all remember, Arizona defeated ASU 42-35 to win the Pac-12 South for the first time in program history and snap the
losing streak. What a moment. Rodriguez has experienced his fair share of rivalry games, including West VirginiaPittsburgh rivalry and Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. ASU’s Graham is very familiar with rivalries as well, experiencing both sides of the Pittsburgh-West Virginia showdown and being part of the Houston-Rice rivalry for a season as well. “This [rivalry] is as intense as any of the ones I have been involved in, and I have been involved in some big ones,” Rodriguez said. “I think the fact that it is in the same state, in the
same conference and the same division in the same conference, our staff knows each other, you recruit against each other—although I think the recruiting aspect of it is a little overrated. Our fans talk about this game year round. Our guys, our players and our coaches hear about it all the time. It is an intense rivalry and a lot of emotion goes into it.” Arizona proved its season had purpose last week against then-No. 10 Utah, and the Wildcats proved they would not back down. Arizona already has one up on the Sun Devils this season

Rivalry
from page B8
after clinching bowl eligibility, as ASU still needs to win one of its last two games. But who doesn’t want to bring home the oldest rivalry trophy in the sport of college football? Arizona leads the all-time series 48-391. But don’t tell ASU fans that. In terms of rivalry, ASU and Arizona sometimes get a bit emotional, especially the fans. Most of the incidents have been petty. Arizona students have traditionally painted ASU’s version of “A” Mountain from maroon and gold to red and blue. In retaliation, ASU students have painted the Wildcat Family statue on the UA Mall maroon and gold. ASU’s Student Alumni Association and members of the 942 Crew have stayed out in the midst of the night this year to protect their historic property. Some incidents have gone too far, though. ASU fans taunted Arizona basketball star Steve Kerr in 1988 about the assassination of his father. Wildcat fans burned the number 200— representing the proposition that turned Arizona State College into ASU—in the middle of ASU’s field on opening day in 1958. Multiple punches have been thrown and brawls have occurred during games throughout the years. The latest prank came from four ASU students who convinced Arizona students to support Proposition 200, a completely falsified proposition to “return” the UA to Mexico. ASU student Ben Kaufman was the ringleader behind the prank.
“The whole idea behind this was to start, you know, the whole history back and forth between ASU and UA,” Kaufman said to Campus Rush. “It was kind of the idea of trying to start a more creative prank war. You know, sort of next-leveltype of prank than just defacing something. What I’m really hoping is that they try to come back and hit us with something, so we can go back and hit them again.” Kaufman has a point. He, along with his comrades, are just the latest fiasco in the rivalry. That’s probably what’s bound to happen. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if more pranks happen by week’s end. The upcoming game will say a lot about both teams and their respective seasons. Rodriguez has been rumored to possibly leave at the end of the season, but after Arizona’s upset of Utah, a fourth straight bowl bid and a looming rivalry matchup, who knows? This upcoming game will be personal. ASU is coming for vengeance after arguably the most important Territorial Cup game of all time. Wilbur and Sparky are bound to get into a tussle. ASU quarterback Mike Bercovici has had a disappointing season thus far, but will look to rebound and carve up the Arizona defense in his final Territorial Cup. The Wildcats managed to score their biggest victory of the season last weekend. A bigger game awaits them Saturday, however. Let the game begin. Tyler Baker/The Daily Wildcat

Wildcats ride York, Anderson past Broncos BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat
Tyler baker/The Daily Wildcat
Arizona forward Ryan Anderson (12) dunks over defenders in McKale Center in the Wildcats’ 88-76 victory over Boise State on Nov. 19.
Arizona men’s basketball needed one last surge to shake off a pesky Boise State team when the Wildcats were up two possessions late in the second half. In came a flying Ryan Anderson, who delivered a deafening dunk over a Broncos defender. Next, Anderson pointed to his right bicep. He and everyone else in McKale Center knew the Wildcats would muscle this one out. In an uncharacteristically high-scoring affair, No. 12 Arizona topped Boise State 88-76 in McKale Center on Thursday night. The victory moves the Wildcats to 3-0 this season and extends Arizona’s home winning streak to 41 games—the longest in the country. Gabe York led Arizona with 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting, while Anderson added eight points and a team-high 15 rebounds. “I believe we did about as well as we are capable of, at least in early November, against a formidable team,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. “This was really the first, what I would call ‘real game,’ that [we] have been in.” Arizona struggled to put any distance between itself and the Broncos for much of the night, as Boise State looked ready to respond at almost every turn. Boise State, fueled by 27 points from forward
James Webb III and another 21 from Nick Duncan, held tight until the game’s final stretch. The Wildcats led by a slim 75-71 margin with 6:18 remaining. Playing in front of a raucous Thursday-night crowd, Arizona then went on an 11-3 run to push the lead to double digits with 3:33 left. Anderson’s dunk provided the dagger. Overall, Arizona shot 54 percent from the field and out-rebounded the Broncos 39-31. Both Boise State and Arizona scored the ball effectively from the start, as the teams combined for five 3-pointers in the first five minutes. York got things going early on by knocking down a pair of shots from outside. The senior guard went on to make 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. He also made all five of his free throw attempts. “I felt good,” York said. “I try and feel good every night, but tonight the ball decided to fall in for me. Everyone did a good job of trying to find me, and when I took a bad shot no one was upset because I think I shot the ball pretty well tonight.” Facing a Boise State zone defense, Arizona resorted to the perimeter early on. Eight of the Wildcats’ first 10 shot attempts came from behind the arc. Arizona eventually settled down, but the uptempo style of play went against Miller’s usual preference of a more deliberate pace.
“When you play a team like Boise, you can sometimes get caught up in their game, and we did,” Miller said. “That’s the inexperience.” Sophomore Parker Jackson-Cartwright played a key role in keeping Arizona’s offense flowing by exploiting space in the half-court and running fast-break transitions. On multiple occasions, Jackson-Cartwright snuck and spun by taller defenders on his way to the hoop. One spinning layup at the end of the first half set McKale Center alive and gave Arizona a 44-42 lead heading into intermission. “I realized there would be space to get into the lane very early,” Jackson-Cartwright said. “Boise State really likes to push the tempo and I think that’s what we as a team, and [I] personally, do best.” The sophomore split time at point guard with Kadeem Allen, who finished with 10 points and a team-high six assists. From here, Arizona has a few days off before it faces Northwestern State on Sunday evening. The Demons, who hail from Natchitoches, Louisiana and compete in the Southland Conference, enter the weekend with an 0-3 record. They should provide Arizona another warmup opponent before the Wildcats travel to Anaheim, California on Nov. 29 for the Wooden Legacy. — Follow Ezra Amacher @EzraAmacher
Defense still a question mark while offense shines BY Kyle hansen
The Daily Wildcat
T
he Arizona men’s basketball team has given fans plenty to cheer about through its first three games. Though the team is comprised of mostly new faces to the program, players like Ryan Anderson, Mark Tollefsen and Allonzo Trier have shown signs of impressive play to start the season. However, there is also plenty for the No. 12 Wildcats to work on as they head into the bulk of their non-conference schedule. One particular area of improvement is the slow starts the Wildcats have experienced. Arizona’s largest halftime margin was a 41-24 lead during their first game against Pacific. Since then, the Wildcats had a sixpoint lead over Bradley and a twopoint lead over Boise State. Arizona led 39-33 at half of the
Bradley game. The team shot 1-for-9 from beyond the arc and only grabbed 16 of their 43 total rebounds in the first 20 minutes. The Wildcats allowed Boise State to shoot 46.2 percent from three in the first half, compared to 23.5 percent in the last 20 minutes. Arizona, however, saw its shooting numbers improve in the second half. The Wildcats shot 51.5 percent from the field and 40 percent from beyond the arc in the first half, before shooting 57.7 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the 3-point line in the second half. The offense was helped in large part by Gabe York, who finished with 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting and 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. In short, this team has been a second-half type of team. Defensively, Arizona has been much different than years past. Boise State led the Wildcats up until the final minutes of the first half, scoring 42 points. Arizona only forced four first half turnovers and 10 total turnovers for the game. “Our defense isn’t as good as [it
has] been,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. “Some of this also has to fall on us [and] where we are as a defensive team; we have to grow and get better. We don’t want to get in these shootouts.” Miller also said the team has the ability to become a better defensive team, but it will take time because of all of the new faces on the team. “If we would’ve played this team three weeks ago, we would’ve been worse on defense,” Miller said. The Wildcats’ head coach stressed how important defense is for this team moving forward. “There was a lot of challenges tonight that they gave us, but I would say our No. 1 thing is defending the basketball,” Miller said. “Keeping the guy in front, containing it at all five positions, not fouling. There’s a lot to that, but we’ll keep getting better at that. I’m sure about that.” One of Arizona’s strengths that has lacked in the past couple of seasons has been its depth. Through the first three games, the MVP from each night has changed
from Anderson, to Trier to York. Arizona had seven of its nine players play 18 minutes or more Thursday night. It has given players like Trier and Parker Jackson-Cartwright a chance to play significant minutes, leading to strong performances. Even Dusan Ristic, who played only nine minutes Thursday night, had eight points and five rebounds. “As of right now, I think we have 10 guys that can play and we can play anywhere,” York said. “That’s another great thing about this team is that we have 10 guys. One person gets in foul trouble, the next guy is up and there’s not a drop off.” The growing pains are to be expected early in the season with so many new faces. The positives outweigh the negatives with this team, as they have improved each game. Boise State was an early test for Arizona and it proved it can make the in-game changes necessary to come out with the win. — Follow Kyle Hansen @K_Hansen42

‘Cats set for Trojan battle, tourney run BY BRANDON JAMES The Daily Wildcat
Arizona volleyball returns home for a weekend of competition, taking on No. 1 USC tonight and No. 11 UCLA on Sunday. The No. 23 Wildcats pulled out a five set win on the road last week against Utah, but were swept by Colorado on Saturday. Arizona head coach Dave Rubio said he made changes to what they focused on in practice after the loss and has been working to get his team in a good rhythm, good frame of mind and feeling confident about how they are playing. With just four games left in the season, it is crunch time for Arizona. With a 17-11 record overall and a mediocre 7-9 record in Pac-12 Conference play, Arizona is on the bubble in regards of getting into the NCAA Tournament. Though ranked No. 23 in the Coaches Poll, the Wildcats’ RPI ranking stands at 50. Their inability to beat a topranked opponent this season plays a large factor in the RPI, but getting a win this weekend should secure
Arizona a spot in the tournament. Rubio still said his team is not feeling the pressure in crunch time. “We never really talk about what’s at stake or what they need to do,” Rubio said. “I think for us, it’s not anything about the pressure or anything like that. It’s about our ability to execute and our ability to play well against the next opponent.” In Arizona’s earlier matchups against UCLA and USC in Los Angeles, the Wildcats pushed the No. 1 ranked team in the country to four sets. However, Arizona was swept by UCLA and Rubio said it was one of the worst performances his team had this season. Though the Wildcats played poorly in their last matchup against UCLA, unable to get into a consistent rhythm, the loss had to do with the Bruins’ dominate outside hitters Jordan Anderson and Reily Buechler. It will be essential for the Wildcats to contain Anderson and Buechler as much as possible to come out with a win this weekend. “They certainly had their way with us,” Rubio said. “Our hope is that we play better and execute the
scouting report and the plan against them.” Rubio said it will be important for his team to match the Trojans offensively. “We’re going to have to match their scoring if we’re going to stay with them,” Rubio said. “That means we’re going to have to pass well, that means our attackers are going to have to pick good attack lines and we’re going to have to be really aggressive.” In spite of all the craziness going on as the season closes, Arizona has one player going for a monumental milestone. Penina Snuka, who has already become the sixth player in Arizona history to have 3,000 assists and is up to 3,549 for fifth in Arizona history, is just 18 digs away from becoming the Wildcats’ all-time leader in digs by a setter. Dana Burkholder, who had 1,146 in her career as a Wildcat, holds the current record. Snuka is reaching all of these records as a junior and still has another season to break and set more records. She currently leads the Pac-12 with 1,100 assists and is tied for the most double-doubles

William Small O’Malley’s
Zi Yang Lai/The Daily Wildcat
William Small, a bar manager at O’Malley’s Bar & Grill, makes a drink for a customer. Small said he enjoys the fun and active pace of a busy bar.
BY Emma Jackson The Daily Wildcat
William Small, a bar manager at O’Malley’s, made his way up from bouncing back in the day. He appreciates the melting pot of people that his bar is. Daily Wildcat: How long have you been bartending? Small: I’ve been at O’Malley’s for going a little over six years and I’ve been bartending for … heading into three years. And were you a server or something before? No, I started off at the door and realized that it was more fun being at the bar than hanging out in the corner. So I moved my way up pretty quick, and I’ve been doing it ever since. Did you have any interest in eventually bartending when you first started working here? I did a whole lot of construction for a lot of years, and I blew my back out as an excavator and then needed work, and I
have a small family. So I came in, started doing it. Like I said, I started off at the door and moved my way all the way up to this wonderful managing bartender spot. I love it; I love working here. I’ve been here this entire time. I really can’t imagine being anywhere else at this point in time. What’s your favorite thing about bartending? It’s fun and it’s active. Our bar is pretty fast-paced. Plus the people that are sitting here right now, I’ve known them for the entire time that I’ve worked here, so they’ve gotten to see me grow, they’ve gotten to see my kids be born. We communicate on that level. And then there’s a certain aspect where you got your students, you got your Air-Force-based, and a lot of faces are constantly changing and stuff like that, so you get to meet a lot of people and it keeps moving. … Coming from a construction background, I like having movement. I like being busy. Do you have a favorite drink to make? I like making Old Fashioneds a lot. It’s kind of nice to show people the things that
go into Old Fashioneds. There’s so many different variations of that, so it tastes different no matter where you go. Have you ever had someone order a drink that they made up, so you had to come up with what to put in it? Yeah, the kids like a little bit of fun and games, and they just give you a bunch of ingredients, and they want you to put it together. It’s their stomach at the end of it. I saw outside you guys are doing spiked Eegee’s now. Yeah, as far as I know, when they started out with us a couple months ago we were the only establishment in Tucson that was offering it. We carry the Tequila Lime and the Piña Colada. And even with it getting colder they’re still pretty popular. A lot of people like them. Do you have any stories of a memorable customer? There’s a lot of them, most of it is just people get really creative as they get drunk. Things just happen. You get to see them come in as one person and leave
completely different. The level, the talking and everything starts changing and the conversation changes, the context of your conversation changes and stuff like that. But most of the time, you come in, you got a certain issue on your mind, you sit down at the bar, and everybody starts having a really good time. What can customers do to make your job more fun? Be ready. Act like you’ve gone to the bar a couple of times. But we’re downtown, we’re right next to the school, so you get a lot of people that are fresh, so they might only have the knowledge of base liquor or base beer. But if you come in and know what you’re doing, it makes it 900 times easier, but interaction is fun. ... It’s not necessarily their duty to come in and make my day better; it’s my job to have them come in, [and] make their day better. But you win some, you lose some.

Two bands from Tucson’s underground
Emery Mott via facebook
Three members of local Tucson rock group Macaulay Vulcan pose against a wall. The group’s live performance sounds nearly identical to its recorded music.
Local Tucson rock bands Digital Persuasion and Macaulay Vulcan differ in their approaches to recorded albums and live performances, yet both still entertain by Cullen Walsh The Daily Wildcat
Tucson rock groups Digital Persuasion and Macaulay Vulcan are relatively recent up-comers in the local underground scene. Though they may not be as well-known as other Arizona-born bands, such as Authority Zero, their strange sounds might catch on yet. After reading through this quick overview of the two groups, hopefully they’ll earn a place in your playlists. Digital Persuasion This Tucson-native band is one of the most eccentric in town. Creators Daniel de la Huerta and Mike Almeroth said they started Digital Persuasion as a recording-focused group, leading to their August debut album Future Dialect. However, the duo eventually decided to bring Tucson a live re-imagining of their work, and so the two egos of Digital Persuasion were born. Look at their Bandcamp page and you’ll find a folky acoustic-electronic hybrid album. The sound is brilliantly
bright and clean, modestly layered with crisp guitar, colorful synths and entrancing electronic burbles. The band’s experimentations, while simple, are well-received, benefitting hugely from a strong focus on listenability. Digital Persuasion is a completely different beast live. There was a brand new focus on rock instrumentation; the band’s signature synthesizers and pads twitter far below the punkrock swells of their live guitar, bass and drums. Honestly, though the bones of the tracks are still present, these rough-cut reinterpretations are nearly new tracks all unto themselves. While central song elements like the up-tempo flute beat on “Every Dimension” make the transition from record to live performance unaltered out of pure necessity, the group’s more intricate electronic elements, such as the spacey AutoTune vocals that weave through “Future Dialect,” are changed almost entirely. Likely due to the limited equipment Huerta and Almeroth have to work with, the band takes
their recorded work’s sprawling harmonies of altered vocals and tear it down to the bare essentials by belting out notes through an AutoTune pedal. None of this is to say you shouldn’t see them live. It is well worth hunting down their next show just to hear their closing number “Try’n Follow.” In their last show, they completely tore down the art-pop watercolor of the original track to reveal a raw breakbeat and bass skeleton, and built from there. They slapped on a funky guitar and a synth solo so insane it literally brought Almeroth to his knees. I could never have known I’d see an awe-inspiring display of ’60s deep funk and hardcore punk spring up from an indie dream-pop album, but I’m not going to be missing Digital Persuasion’s next ingenious Frankenstein’s monster of rock and synth. Macaulay Vulcan Tucson, home to a math rock band? Strange, I know. Amazingly, the less-popular offshoots of
alternative rock, like shoegaze and math rock, are starting to find their way out of the far-off islands of Britain, Ireland and Japan, and a seed has landed right here in Tucson. Macaulay Vulcan—made up of lead guitarists Miguel Carranza and Justin Tornberg, drummer Sam Launius and bassist Kevin Moynahan—has released just one small EP, Prison Simulator Baseball, yet their sound is already welldeveloped. Their sunny, staccato tones resemble fellow math rock group The Redneck Manifesto from Ireland, while their use of exposed, intricate rhythms found on the tracks “Never-Ending Innings, Never Any Outings” and “Panic! At The Costco” follow closely after the work of Don Caballero, who helped establish the math genre. Vulcan is the polar opposite of Digital Persuasion live. What you heard on the recording is exactly what you get at the show. The band’s precision at their last show was surgical, never once falling out of their complex time or flubbing one of their breakneck-speed riffs. As a
guitarist, it was amazing to watch, and as an audience member, it was just strange. Vulcan fails to give you anything live that you can’t get from just listening to their record at home. The fact that all their work is instrumental means that, besides a shy bit of banter while they set up, the show is silent and very quick. Performing the entirety of their recorded works currently takes them less than 15 minutes. My advice: If you’re ever in the mood for what Tornberg described as “Coachella-esque rock music,” find their EP online. Prison Simulator Baseball is recorded beautifully, performed flawlessly and might just bring you to a completely new side of rock music. If you have the urge to go to a live show after that, then be my guest and support the band, or just listen to the EP again and look at the band’s Facebook pictures; it’ll be pretty much the same, awesome experience. — Follow Cullen Walsh @Cullen_A_W
