As the semester winds down toward finals week, many students are looking for any reason to take a break from studying. On Monday, an appearance by Kourtney Kardashian and company was that reason. The “Keeping up with the Kardashians” star and UA alumna took a trip to the UA with her partner, Scott Disick, where the two were greeted by screaming fans and cellphone cameras. Starting at the UA, the show’s crew spent the day gallivanting around Tucson, also making stops at local bars. The couple was reportedly scheduled to shoot scenes for an upcoming episode of the show at the UofA Bookstore on Monday afternoon, but bookstore staff said the event was canceled because producers felt the mass of students
would seem unnatural on the reality show. Heather Wilson, a film and television freshman, said she had heard from a friend that Kardashian was in Tucson. Wilson was waiting at the bookstore with her friend Selma Jasarevic, a psychology freshman. “I watch them every week,” Jasarevic said, adding that she was willing to wait hours just to see members of the show’s cast. “They’re, like, my favorite people. Whenever I go to L.A., they’re always the people I look for, and now they’re here.” Not even an hour after the cancellation, Kardashian and Disick were spotted surrounded by students as they took a tour around campus, led by a member of a UA ambassador team. Twitter and Instagram users snapped pictures of the pair on the UA Mall, in the UA Main Library and in restaurants on University Boulevard.
Tweets came every minute as people tried to determine where Kardashian and Disick were heading next. A crowd amassed in front of Gentle Ben’s Brewing Company on University Boulevard of students eager to catch a glimpse of Kardashian and her entourage. “I drove home this morning from Thanksgiving break, heard she was here and went and changed my entire outfit,” said Taryn Wright, a journalism junior. “No one can meet a Kardashian looking the way I did, let’s be real.”

Some students were able to interact directly with the stars, including Kyle Fisher, a communication freshman who followed the couple all day. “[Disick] went over the balcony and just poured another thing and, like, it went all over me,” Fisher said. “Scott Disick poured a shot for me all over me.” Javier Busanez, an undeclared freshman, said he waited outside the bar and was able to touch Kardashian. “I ran up to her, kind of hugged her, and they’re like ‘No, no hugs,’”
Wildcat hockey will be without head coach Sean Hogan this weekend, as he leaves Thursday for Europe to serve as an assistant coach with the 2013 U.S. Men’s National University Team in the Winter World University Games. USA Hockey selected the Michigan native from a pool of applicants. Hogan, now in his third year as front man of No. 12 Arizona (10-10-0), will miss Friday and Saturday night’s games against No. 1 ASU (21-0-0). It will be the fifth team he has ever coached. “I’m excited about it because I’ve never had the chance to represent the United States at a level like this, so it’s quite an honor,” Hogan said. “I’m going to be on a plane to Germany during [the Wildcats’] game, so I won’t really know what’s going on until we land and I can take a look at the Internet and hopefully I see that we beat [ASU].” The U.S. has scheduled games for Dec. 10, 13 and 15 in Trentino, Italy.

e all know Jean-Baptiste Karr’s saying, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” This is, unfortunately, an accurate description of child care at the UA. In 1998, the Summer Wildcat published a story about how it would take “at least several more years” to establish an on-campus child care center. In 2012, the Arizona Daily Wildcat published another article about how the College of Education was trying to establish an on-campus daycare center soon. As it stands now, however, the UA is still the only Pac-12 school without an on-campus daycare. If 15 years is long enough to make a whole new Batman movie franchise, it should have been long enough to establish something that is commonplace at other universities. Currently, we have UA Life and Work
