“Hands up, don’t shoot,” in reference to the Ferguson, Mo., protests, and “I can’t breathe,” in reference to the Garner decision.

Prior to marching, Guadalupe Conchas asked the protesters to remain on the sidewalk to avoid any police intervention.

The group then made its way around campus before deciding to stop and gather at the roundabout of the student union. Upon arrival, the protesters gathered around the statue in the center of the circle and chanted as a crowd of

Arizona football won’t exactly be staying home for the holidays and the bowl season, but it’s close.

The No. 10/12 Wildcats (10-3) earned a berth in the VIZIO Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., despite their 51-13 loss to No. 2/3 Oregon in the Pac12 Championship game on Friday. Arizona will face No. 20/21 Boise State (11-2) on Dec. 31, as part of the New Year’s Six bowl game lineup.

“This is another big step for our program,” UA athletic director Greg Byrne said.

This is Arizona’s first berth in a major bowl since making the 1994 IBM OS/2 Fiesta Bowl.

“I’m hoping we’ll have the advantage in fans; it’s certainly a lot more convenient,” UA football head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “We have a lot of fans up there in the valley … and a lot of alumni, and certainly everybody here in Tucson can get up there, hopefully.”

Rodriguez said he was nervous because they had no idea where they might be going in the new system and is excited to be in one of the “great, traditional bowls.”

“It’s a lot different,” Rodriguez said. “I’m not sure that you want to have a selection party, like basketball, because there is so many unknown factors, but I hope most of our guys who watched it got excited like I did.”

Byrne said he has a lot of friends on the College Football Playoff committee, but he respected their wishes not to be lobbied.

“I heard a little chatter that there was a chance of it last week and then even a little bit more [Sunday] morning,” Byrne said, “but we certainly didn’t have any confirmation [until] we saw it pop on the screen like everybody else.”

The Wildcats are 1-1 in the Fiesta Bowl, having beat No. 10 Miami 29-0 in the 1994 edition, and they lost to No. 10 Pittsburgh in the 1979 game, 16-10.

Down two points with less than five seconds left in the game, Gonzaga guard Byron Wesley was fouled on a 3-point attempt. As the call was reviewed and confirmed, the air seemed to leave McKale Center.

As Wesley went to the line to shoot the first of his three shots, the crowd turned the volume up and watched as Wesley airballed the first. The crowd went up in a furor that, believe it or not, increased the volume.

Shortly after, Wesley missed the second shot wide, all but guaranteeing he miss the final attempt. With the crowd going wild, Wesley missed the third and final shot, the Wildcats grabbed the board and Gonzaga did not foul.

“When I saw the air ball, to be honest, I was in shock that he airballed the free throw,” UA point guard T.J. McConnell said. “But then he missed the next one and pretty much had to miss the last one on purpose. Credit to our fans.

Divest UA expands across Arizona

BY ALYSSA SCHLIZER The Daily Wildcat

Divest UA has recently gained more support and has begun to expand its campaign by reaching out to organizations outside of the university, while increasing student awareness on campus.

Patrick Brewer, an environmental studies junior and the Divest UA media coordinator, said the campaign’s goal is to get the UA to divest its fundings from fossil fuel industries in businesses with the largest industry share.

“Ideally, within a five-year period, we would like to have them divest all of their money from the top 200 firms,” Brewer said.

Since the campaign took off this year, Divest UA has gained more student support around the UA. Now, that support is expanding across Arizona.

Divest UA has 40 faculty members and about 1,500 student petitions that have been signed, Brewer said, and the campaign is gathering more recognition around campus and outside the UA. “We are just about to start reaching out to businesses and organizations outside of the university … [and] broaden our scope on campus with clubs,” Brewer said. “At this point, we are trying to gather as much student support as we possibly can.”

and faculty to support the cause, sign petitions and attend events coming up to spread awareness of divestment.

Brewer said that Arizona State University has set up a meeting in Phoenix in mid-January to discuss divestment that will include its president and some financial advisors, along with about 30 financial analysts, managers, professors and deans from across the country.

Brewer also stated that no one from the UA has signed onto this

gathering just yet.

“It’s basically just a strategy conference,” Brewer said. “It’s going to be financial advisors and presidents talking over the specifics of their schools and just sort of sound boarding off of one another to try and see if this is something they are interested in.”

Gina Medici, a second-year atmospheric science graduate student, went shopping on Black Friday, but didn’t vote in the midterm elections this year. She said that she doesn’t follow politics and didn’t feel as if she should vote without any knowledge about what’s going on. But, she went shopping because she knew what she wanted.

Sherry Lotz, an associate professor in retailing and consumer sciences, said that shopping is a personal experience, and you give your vote in public. She said voting isn’t personal, inviting or warm, and that could contribute toward people showing up for Black Friday instead of the polls.

This isn’t to say that political activism has stopped altogether to lend an ear to Black Friday. In some cases, it’s just the beginning of political activism.

Small businesses are fighting back against big corporations with Small Business Saturdays.

According to Independent We Stand, for every $100 spent at locally-owned businesses, $68 stays in the community.

Tom Cassidy, with the partnership of his wife, owns, manages and works at Out Of Ordinary or Ooo! on University Boulevard. He said Small Business Saturday works toward his advantage when most people head toward the large chain stores on Black Friday.

On an average day, Cassidy said, 100 percent of his customers are just people walking in from the streets. But on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, probably 80 percent are serious shoppers.

Small business owners aren’t the only people setting up to help their community. Walmart protestors spent Black Friday rallying against their wages and hours. According to mic.com, over 1,600 Walmarts were protested against all over the country this year.

Additionally, the Ferguson protests were on the minds of holiday shoppers with people staging die-ins and vowing not to shop in protest of the lack of indictment of the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown.

Trinity Goss, the vice president of the Black Student Union, said she thinks the protestors using Black Friday for their protest was a great outlet.

and it’s a good stage to make a statement about something,” Goss said. “Especially when it affects the economy. It’s going to get recognition.”

Rhodes said these protests may be receiving attention, but nothing is going to be changed by disrupting people’s holiday shopping.

Mahon, on the other hand, said that these protests bring more attention to the protesters’ causes, and that they raised attention regarding labor and police violence.

Goss added that the protesters are working on keeping their statement relevant.

“I’m not going to put my money back into my country that doesn’t value me as a person,” Goss said.

Shoppers spent $52 billion on Black Friday, according to the Associated Press. The Center for Repsonsive Politics showed that donors and groups spent $3.67 billion on the 2014 midterm elections.

By following those numbers, if Americans are putting their money where their mouths are, Black Friday has more of a hold on the populous than politics. Consumerism at its finest.

Community Chatter What repercussions might federally funded police body cameras produce?

“I think it would be a lot better because then you actually know what police are doing to people and whether it was fair or not. And I think that any cop who is against that probably is a bad cop or is doing something wrong, just because if you can’t have a camera on yourself to show that you’re not doing anything wrong, then you’re up to no good.” ­— Brittany Ray, speech pathology sophomore

“I think it’s a really good idea. You know the phrase is, ‘The video tape doesn’t lie.’ That way, police should be more inclined to do the right thing and act like they’re being videotaped at all times.”

Some of the protesters then lied down, performing a “die in,” a form of protest that was seen in Ferguson in reference to the fact that Michael Brown was left in the street for four-and-a-half hours.

Others chanted and carried signs, and one protester came forward and said the police were on the scene to silence them, while later, the police would return to protect people while the football game against the University of Oregon took place.

Marijke Stoll, an anthropology graduate student, said she was taking part in the protest because she was angry.

“I’m angry about what has been going on in this country,” Stoll said. “I don’t think people should be executed by the law enforcement and the government simply for existing, for being who they are. I just want to see justice served in these cases, and I want to see the end of these shootings of unarmed black men.”

Another protester, Amalia Ashley, a sociology graduate student, said she was at the protest as an ally.

Climate change heating up research at UA The Daily Wildcat

The Center for Climate Change Adaptation Science and Solutions at the UA is fighting for more education to find a solution to man-made climate change.

The National Climate Assessment conducted in 2014 was a collaboration with the U.S. Global Change Research Program.

According to the National Climate Assessment website, which houses the digital version of the assessment, it “summarizes the impacts of climate change on the United States, now and in the future.”

According to the NCA, the Southwest is the hottest and driest region in the U.S., meaning that climate change poses an especially difficult challenge for Southern Arizona because of its propensity to become hotter and drier.

Francina Dominguez, an assistant professor in the Atmospheric Sciences department at the UA, said that not everyone is versed in climate change terminology. In an

email, Dominguez said that climate change is a broad term to encompass any and all changes in the climate — whether they are natural or humancaused.

“When people talk about ‘climate change,’ they are generally referring to increases in global temperature due to human emissions of greenhouse gases,” Dominguez said.

Dominguez added that climate change is an important issue because as humans change the composition of the atmosphere, many problems begin to appear, including changes in global temperature.

According to the CCASS website, its mission is to help find a solution to man-made climate change by supporting global change management choices, and to link scientists, managers and decisionmakers together to create an environment key to solving the issue.

CCASS plans to use integrated adaptation services and tools to support its research, according to its website. It is placed at the UA because the university has opportunities for the group to provide support

and coalitions coordinator for Divest UA, said this conference will educate people on what divestment is financially and what it could mean in the longterm for each university.

Divest UA is currently attempting to partner with Northern Arizona University and other universities that are passionate about these issues as well.

Hernandez said they are trying to get people to see the moral sides of the issues, and the conference will serve to educate about the financial aspects of divestment.

“If we divest, we will be the biggest university to actually do so,” Hernandez said. “So,

this meeting and allow the UA to make a difference with the campaign.

Kiernan Moran, a sophomore studying philosophy, politics, economics and law, oversees the campaign direction and said they rely on the University of Arizona Foundation to provide services and help them make smart, sustainable investment choices for the future.

“We strongly encourage them to attend the meeting, because it is very important for the future of our generation,” Moran said.

to decision makers in public and private sectors, allowing both to connect and work faster toward understanding climate change and its management practices.

“The National Climate Assessment was a comprehensive compilation of our understanding of climate changes that was recently published by the White House,” Dominguez said. “They are in the process of implementing the Climate Action Plan that includes many different efforts to reduce emissions.”

According to the NCA, some of the main issues the Southwest faces because of climate changes include threats to agriculture, increased chances of wildfire and heat-related threats to health.

The CCASS plans to provide opportunities to build and leverage from existing projects and resources concerning adaptations.

It strengthens and links current centers located throughout the UA campus with a variety of activities, with the purpose of building relationships and other services.

The real covert schemes hide in plain sight

BY TOM JOHNSON

The Daily Wildcat

R

ecently, online, I’ve seen it alleged that Martin Luther King Jr.’s family won a civil suit claiming that King was assassinated by the U.S. government.

The case rests on incredibly sketchy ground, but it still got me thinking about conspiracy theories, specifically how banal “the real thing” often is.

While the government assassination probably didn’t happen, the FBI is confirmed to have wiretapped and harassed King, not just to suppress dissent but also because then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was creepily obsessed with him.

And the FBI is still doing similar things, if The Guardian’s report on how it and the big banks coordinated on the crackdown on the Occupy movement is any indication. Yeah, you probably didn’t hear about that.

For the most part, that’s how the scum get away with it: Be quiet, and it will all go away.

Almost nobody had ever heard of the Project for a New American Century, the group that orchestrated the idea for “Iraq War II: Electric Boogaloo,” until after its dirty deeds had been done, because it was just left to stagnate in the nooks and crannies of political media.

The PNAC didn’t cause 9/11, of course. It was likely more of a stroke of luck for them, and when they got into Iraq, things went pear-shaped, since real life does not work like a Hydra plot.

But they did do major damage with what they did manage to accomplish.

And, leading to the thing that the Occupy movement was protesting against — the neoliberal globalization agenda Silicon-Valley Libertarians lick the feet of like a shiny white Jesus — is not too dissimilar from the “New World Order” that those in tinfoil hats yammer about.

These agendas are not carried out through some grand scheme or organization, though. No Illuminati sigil or skull-based fortress. Just the same stupid, shared ideology of deregulation and pushing their brand of aggressive, laissez-faire, “let-’emdie” capitalism.

These courses of action likely have much of the same effects as a secret evil plot might.

Even if there is no organized conspiracy, the ideology machine largely functions the same way.

It’s all out in the open; ideologists just don’t think anybody will notice or try to enact change.

Legal corporate lobbying is probably far more influential than secret government infiltration. The resulting income stratification due to ideology that has occurred is much like the type conspiracy theories allege is part of an organized scheme of despair.

Conspiracy and evil are banal.

The way evildoers try to keep it out of the sunlight is banal. But the damage done in such highminded failures is very real, and we should not let this banality go unnoticed.

Don’t check the conspiracy websites. Check the nooks and crannies of reputable news sites, and follow the breadcrumbs.

More than likely, you won’t find a complex web of lies but an engorged tick on the body politic waiting to be squashed.

Hands up, don’t pass on justice

BY CHIKEZIE ANACHU The Daily Wildcat

“C

ongress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech … and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Unfortunately, those in the St. Louis Police Department are either unable to read properly or have decided that the First Amendment is just a load of bullshit. How else do you explain their released statement so laced with vengeance that it reads like a message off of a KKK manifesto?

Five St. Louis Rams players came out of a tunnel with their arms up in the now famous “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” pose for their game against the Oakland Raiders. By the end of the game, they had obliterated the Raiders 52-0.

But all that mattered to the self-described fine policemen of St. Louis was that these players had chosen to show their solidarity with a community they are a part of.

St. Louis Police Officers’ Association business manager Jeff Roorda released a statement saying that the SLPOA was disappointed with the Rams and calling for the players in question to be disciplined and for the NFL to publicly apologize.

“Somebody needs to throw a flag on this play,” Roorda said. “If it’s not the NFL and the Rams, then it’ll be cops and their supporters.”

Since the Michael Brown shooting, several groups have displayed their support for a movement that simply seeks to keep the Darren Wilsons of the world away from law enforcement — a noble campaign that should not be discredited or confused with the violence

YOUR VIEWS

From “It’s time to confront frats” (by Julianna Renzi, Dec. 1)

I think that individual chapters of frats, like the Phi Kappa Psi chapter at UVA, can and should be banned.

However, it will not be feasible to simply remove a greek system from schools like UVA or Dartmouth.

Remove hazing? Remove rapists?

Control alcohol abuse? Mandate bystander intervention training and better oversight? Absolutely.

But removing the system en masse poses a major challenge in already turbulent times. You say “move on,” but HOW? That is: what will REPLACE it? A university like UVA would have to virtually reinvent its social life from scratch.

— Jason Shatz Blaming an entire fraternity or sorority based on acts ALLEGEDLY committed off-campus is ludicrous and ignores all of the character building and philanthropic work the community and university benefit from. Also, it would simply amplify bad behavior because these potential offenders would be less accountable.

From “Time to check our use of border checkpoints” (by Casey Hoyack, Dec. 3)

I believe the author is a tad bit confused. The Supreme Court ruled in [United States v.

Martinez-Fuerte] that Border Patrol agents may stop and question motorists at reasonably located checkpoints, even in the absence of individualized or reasonable suspicion. …

The Supreme Court “functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution.”

So, the author must be confused when he says that checkpoints are unconstitutional. Those who are charged with deciding what is or isn’t constitutional have already made their decision. The opinions of the author or the ACLU are irrelevant.

— LincolnTony I feel that the charge of unconstitutionality made here is unfounded and itself “unreasonable.” Entering and searching a private residence without a warrant is unreasonable.

Seizing private property without

“

”

cause or warrant is unreasonable.

Temporarily slowing traffic to perform minimally invasive searches to prevent the trafficking of humans, contraband or other illegal materials across state and national borders is responsible, transparent and minimally invasive upon the freedoms of citizens.

Indeed, like the author, I have traveled through our nation’s state checkpoints numerous times in my life. Never once have I been stopped. Never once have I been asked to exit my vehicle, nor had my possessions searched. Never once has an agent demanded anything of me or my driver besides an ID or license. The most I’ve seen done at a checkpoint is a K-9 search.

Inconvenient? Sure. A true violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Bill of Rights? Hardly. The assertion herein is insufficiently argued and seemingly used as a subjective, if forceful, assertion.

Indeed, are we not accustomed to making small sacrifices for the protection of our freedoms? How is this any different? I humbly suggest that border patrol points are nothing more than the regular operation of the social contract: We are willing to accept the burden of inconvenience for the benefit of safe and legal commerce and transportation.

The logic used in this assertion suggests the next headline: “Minimally invasive searches by

trained TSA agents according to publicly posted guidelines for the safety of commercial airline passengers deemed violation of Fourth Amendment.”

— chris k.

Yes, sorry, Casey, you need to hit the books a little more and read up on case law. LincolnTony hit the nail on the head: U.S. v. Martinez-Fuerte states through court precedent that it is constitutional. What you are doing is called “lazy journalism” where you have a personal feeling on something and instead of actually doing research on it, you just type your thoughts. If you had some facts to back it up, that would help validate your point, then that would help your opinion piece.

Now imagine what would happen if Arizona had open borders and no checkpoints… Ever been to Ciudad Juárez? There are about 3,000 homicides there a year. Six times the number of murders in NYC in a given year. Your naiveté is what is to be expected with a college senior whose life experience is limited to books and not the real world.

I see you are a man of many trades, “politics, philosophy, economics and law senior,” but as evident in your writing, a master of none.

POLICE BEAT

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

Gotta get outta here

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall on Nov. 23 around midnight, in reference to an intoxicated student who was attempting to start fights with residents on the fifth floor.

When the officer arrived, he approached the student, who was attempting to leave the building. The officer told him that he needed to speak with him, but the student still kept attempting to leave multiple times.

The officer then placed him in handcuffs so they could talk.

However, the student was still not listening and tried to get up several times.

The student had apparent signs of intoxication, including red, bloodshot eyes and alcohol on his breath. The student was also argumentative and spoke incoherently.

The student was arrested and booked into Pima County Jail for minor with spirituous liquor in body.

Accidents happen

A UAPD officer responded to the Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall on Nov. 22 around 5:30 a.m.

The officer responded to a call in reference to a male student who had urinated on himself and was stumbling around his room while speaking incoherently.

The student’s roommate said that when the student got home, he began to urinate on his backpack and sweater.

The officer observed that the student seemed to be confused and kept telling the officer he was “good” and wanted to go to sleep.

The officer could smell alcohol on the student’s breath and noticed he had red, watery eyes and slurred speech.

Although he denied consuming alcohol, it was apparent he was intoxicated. The student was issued a UA student diversion for underage drinking.

Hungry

Around 10 p.m. on the Nov. 22, a UAPD officer responded to the Circle K gas station on Sixth Street in reference to a shoplifting incident.

The clerk on duty showed the officer a surveillance video of two non-UA-affiliates removing various food items from the shelves and leaving the store without paying.

The officer made contact with them as they were exiting the restroom. The woman threw two gum wrappers on the ground in front of the officer and refused to pick them up when asked.

The man denied being involved in the incident, although he was seen stealing food on the video and later told the officer that he did steal some donuts.

The woman told the officer she stole because she was hungry, and the man, her boyfriend, said the same thing. Both parties were arrested and booked into Pima County Jail.

Finals and the holidays are fast approaching, but the 45th annual Fourth Avenue Winter Street Fair is here to ease some stress.

Located on Fourth Avenue from University Boulevard down through Eighth Street, the Street Fair begins Friday and ends Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day. The biannual event brings around 400 arts and crafts booths, 35 or more food vendors, with local live music, street performers, face painting and other entertainment. “[The] Street Fairs are extremely loved by this community, and that’s how you last 45 years,” said Kurt Tallis, the marketing and events director for the Fourth Avenue Merchants Association.

Tallis added that the fairs are a great source of income, because there are 100 merchants on Fourth Avenue that get to showcase their wares during the event, and it is an economic driving force for their existence.

The fair has between 600 to 700 artists apply for each Street Fair, and only 358 get invited to each show, Tallis said. Of those 358 vendors, about one-third of them haven’t worked the Street Fair before.

“I’m excited; it’s a big show, so we’ll see what happens,” said Bobby Harr, a newcomer to the Street Fair this year. Harr owns Fused & Kiln Formed Glass based in Scottsdale and creates fused glass with vibrant colors. He mostly makes accessories for men and women, Judaica, some sculptures and nightlights.

Harr also said he hopes to do well at this event, as it is a new place for him to sell his goods and expose his work to people who may not be

familiar with Fused & Kiln Formed Glass.

Another newcomer is Susan Williams, a photographer whose work mostly concerns nature, wolves and horses.

“I call it ‘Photo Art,’” Williams said.

“It all starts with photographs, and I make a digital painting. They’re printed onto canvas, so they are sort of in the realm of a photograph and a painting.”

Williams added that coming to the Street Fair is a great way to meet new

people and to try new locations to present their work.

In a long-lasting event such as the Street Fair, there are bound to be veteran vendors. One such artist is Susan Tate, who has been participating in the Street Fair for the last 25 years. She owns Mellow Mud Pottery, based in the Northern Sierras above Chico, Calif., and works with high-fire stoneware clay.

“It’s great. Tucson is a very eclectic town,” Tate said. “It’s wonderful; the people love art, and so they’re very

fun. But it’s also fun as an artist to people-watch.”

Tate said she began doing her craft when, 40 years prior, she was a bank teller, and her husband was reading the newspaper that had an advertisement for a 10-week pottery course. Her husband suggested she take the pottery course after learning of her frustration with her work to help her mellow out, hence the name, “Mellow Mud.” Despite hearing that she wouldn’t get to work with clay in her class, Tate

went off on her own and created her own clay work.

The Street Fair got its start in 1970 when merchants on Fourth Avenue brought their wares out onto the sidewalks for sidewalk sales. Footage of this era in Tucson history can be seen on YouTube for a nostalgic glimpse of how far the Street Fair has evolved in the last 45 years.

are You!” Kinosian and Lowe boldly satirize the murder-mystery genre by making frequent self-referential notions to the fact they are acting in a play. Typically breaking character to make a subversive comment on a character’s idiocy or the audience’s misguided reaction to a scene, the duo smoothly breaks the fourth wall and gives “Murder for Two” a flavor of cynical postmodernism.

An unspoken, underlying feud between Kinosian and Lowe adds a tantalizing layer of humor in this already jam-packed production of boisterous, unapologetic comedy.

Slinging evil glares from across the stage and fighting for control over the piano, Kinosian and Lowe’s outof-character immaturity strangely elevates “Murder for Two” to a mature level of wit.

The musical numbers, though originally written, are predictable and reminiscent of Rodgers and Hammerstein. Kinosian and Lowe commit to their ballads with a toe-tapping enthusiasm that becomes contagious for the viewer.

At one point exceeding to complete tawdriness, Kinosian belts a cheesy, 1980s-themed solo number with a fearlessness that meets the audience’s approval.

Kinosian and Lowe will continue performing their dazzling dance of comedy until Dec. 20 at Arizona Theatre Company.

Patrons at Espresso Art Café watching Oregon beat down the Wildcats on Friday night weren’t in typical UA attire. The night marked the cafe’s second annual Repeal Day Speakeasy Costume Party, and the spirit of the ’20s was roaring.

In 1919, Congress ratified the 18th amendment, which banned the manufacture, sale, transport, import and export of alcoholic beverages within the U.S. However, the alcohol culture did not cease to exist. It simply went underground and transformed into speakeasies: restaurants or bars where bootleggers would secretly dispense alcohol.

Dec. 5 marks the anniversary of when President Franklin D. Roosevelt repealed the 18th amendment, and Espresso Art celebrated with flapper costumes, jazz and discounted drinks.

The coffee shop and hookah lounge couldn’t have picked a better theme for its locale. The building itself seems to have been designed with the concept in mind.

“From the front, you see the nice coffee facade with an eclectic feel,” said Pelita Murumba, Espresso Art barista and political science senior.

“Whenever anybody asks where the bathroom is, though, you tell them, ‘Oh, you have to go through the double doors.’”

Behind those doors, however, customers will also find first edition vintage books and antique sculptures lining the walls of a diversely decorated back room bar. Espresso Art’s ambience has the kind of secrecy necessary for a successful speakeasy setting.

The building’s structure isn’t the only facet of Espresso Art that speaks to the ’20s. Even the back room’s original carpentry has its own Jazz Age flare.

“Everything back here is tailored,” Murumba said. “Every piece of wood is not only hand cut, but it’s originally from a house that was built in Tucson in the 1920s.”

With the quotes “Everything in moderation” and “Chaos reigns in the end” inscribed in Greek above the Art Deco bar, the cafe’s design shares parts of its ideology with America’s pre-Depression attitudes.

In the dim lighting, Murumba said, patrons will find a nightlife scene unlike any other in Tucson, which donned its best 1920s attire for Friday’s occasion.

Murumba commented on what she found to be the most difficult part of her costume.

“The makeup is very, very dark,” she emphasized. “In the 1920s, they started digging up a lot of ancient Egyptian tombs. That’s why people were so interested in darker makeup.”

For former Espresso Art employee and recent UA alumni Chelsea Lockner, ’30s attire was the era of choice for her costume.

“The 1930s were so attractive,” Lockner said. “The women were experimenting after their renewed feminism. … Everything flattered everyone’s figures.”

Citing movies such as “Arabian Nights” and “Some Like it Hot” — and even Hemingway’s writing — as sources of inspiration, Lockner said she particularly appreciates the glamour of the ’30s.

Next year, look out for Espresso Art Café’s third annual speakeasy and enjoy one cent liquor-based coffee drinks and 50 percent off house-apothecary cocktails, while partying in a Gatsby-like fashion.

The UA is 3-2 in bowl games in Arizona, with wins in Tucson in the Copper Bowl, 17-10 over NC State in 1989 and 20-14 over New Mexico in the 1997 Insight. com Bowl. Arizona lost 14-13 to Drake in the 1949 Salad Bowl in Phoenix.

Byrne said that ticket buyers on Sunday stated the website was taking 15 to 20 minutes to process tickets.

“That’s a good thing,” he said.

“That means there’s a lot of website traffic, and so they’ve been going quickly, and we feel very confident.”

The UA has an allotment of 12,500, 500 for the ZonaZoo. Student tickets are $50, and ZonaZoo members can only request one ticket.

Ticket prices range from $150 to $300 each in the Arizona section.

The remaining tickets outside of the UA section are $75 to $325 as of Sunday afternoon.

If the UA doesn’t sell out its allotment of tickets, they become less attractive for future bowls, however, so the athletics

“We need our fans to buy it from our website, ArizonaWildcats. com,” Byrne said.

Boise State clinched the “Group of Five” New Years Six Bowl slot with a 28-14 win over Fresno State in the Mountain West Championship Game on Saturday.

College football was divided into the “Power Five” conferences this year, such as the Pac-12 Conference and the Group of Five, such as the Mountain West. Champions of the Power Five leagues get automatic bids.

“It’s a chance for us to play on a national stage against a really good team,” Rodriguez said.

Boise State, which went 7-1 in the Mountain West, didn’t beat any ranked teams this season, losing 35-13 to No. 9/9 Mississippi in Atlanta on Aug. 28 in its only game against teams currently ranked in the College Football Playoff top 25. Boise State is 1-4 in last five games against the Power Five and winless in its last four against ranked teams.

like Arizona was going to stand much of a chance versus the Demon Deacons. A plethora of turnovers and poor defense allowed for Wake Forest to take a commanding 24-11 lead with 5:52 remaining in the first half.

The UA then embarked on an 12-2 run to cut the deficit to 26-23 heading into the locker room.

Arizona continued its momentum in the second half by overtaking the lead and eventually expanding the margin to 53-37 with 8:20 to go.

The Wildcats’ run stemmed from aggressiveness inside, whether it was banking in layups or taking advantage of the free-throw line. Arizona tallied 36 points in the paint by game’s end and converted on 22 of 31 free throws.

However, basketball is a game of runs, and the Demon

Deacons commenced on one of their own to end the second half. As Arizona went cold from the field, Wake Forest slowly cut into the deficit.

With the UA leading 5852 in the final minute of regulation, it looked as if the comeback would fall just short for the home team.

Yet in a span of 23 seconds, Wake Forest went from down six to leading 60-58. Arizona committed a costly turnover and failed to knock down crucial free throws, allowing the Demon Deacons to gain control.

A layup by Warthen tied the game at 60 with 16 seconds to go, and Wake Forest was unable get a game-winning shot off on the ensuing possession.

In the five-minute overtime session, Arizona never flinched as the two teams traded buckets. Then, in the final 90 seconds with the game on the line, it was Warthen and the Wildcats who made their free throws.

Warthen led the way with a double-double, while Dejza James and Malena Washington contributed double-digit points.

Charise Holloway also played one of her best games of the season by scoring nine points and collecting eight rebounds.

As a team, Arizona only made 36 percent of its field goal attempts and was outrebounded 49-45. However, the Wildcats played perhaps their cleanest game this year, giving up only 13 turnovers.

Wake Forest committed 20.

For a program that has lost its fair share of close finishes the past few seasons, Sunday was a welcome plot twist.

The Wildcats now hope to continue their winning ways when they take on Southern University back in McKale Center on Thursday.

action.

After the game, McConnell said Ashley’s ability to play inside out makes him one of the best players in the nation and frees up the team to get more open looks.

“I say this all the time: I think Brandon is un-guardable,” McConnell said. “You put a big guy on him, and he’ll drive by you. You put a smaller guy on him, and he can post them up. That just makes our lives easier as perimeter players. He kind of proved that tonight.”

As for McConnell, the senior standout struggled to find a rhythm offensively early on, finishing the game just 4-10 from the field and 3-7 from the charity stripe. However, his defensive play down the stretch of regulation and during the overtime period proved to be the difference.

One play stood out in particular.

With about a minute left in the second half of a tied game, McConnell stripped Pangos on his way to the basket on what could have been the go-ahead layup.

Plays like that back up the notion that T.J. McConnell is the heart and soul of this Arizona men’s basketball team.

“It was kind of a mindset, kind of taking it personally,” McConnell said.

“Saying, ‘What about Arizona? What about us?’ We took it to the next level.” kyle hansen/The Daily Wildcat

awards. Opposing head coaches had to plan around her, and she provided that captain role for the Wildcats all season long.

“I take it for granted, as I do with all of the seniors next year when their presence is not here,” UA head coach Dave Rubio said. “There are a lot of things that you take for granted right now as a head coach that you won’t really know about how good you have it, until you no longer have it.”

This senior class is highly regarded in Rubio’s eyes, and he said that this class may be the best since 2005.

“Their presence and their leadership throughout the season is the reason why we were as good as we were,” Rubio said. “Their leadership has been outstanding.

They will surely be missed next year.”

Last season, the Wildcats lost two senior liberos in Emily Kiser and Candace Nicholson due to graduation. Nicholson was one of the best liberos in school history, but this year’s team was able to move forward.

“This year,” Rubio said, “and what I think we are all most proud of, is that a year ago, maybe nine months ago, we lost a couple of players that were significant players for us. …

This group really rallied and didn’t let those departures affect the team.

In fact, it actually made the team stronger, and as a result, we were able to have the best year in close to 10 years.”

This season, the Wildcats will lose

with the Ducks only scoring once in the fourth quarter.

“It was just us not being on the same page,” Solomon said, “and if I’m not doing well, it all starts with me, and that’s just what happened [Friday].”

In relief of Solomon, backup quarterback Jesse Scroggins was 3-for-9 for 79 yards, one touchdown, one interception and ran for 19 yards on three carries.

Third-string quarterback Jerrard Randall was 0-for-5 passing and ran for 74 yards on 11 carries and one touchdown.

“The training staff, they’ve done a really good job just getting me well, and even without me, we’ll still be well with Jesse, Gerrard and Connor [Brewer],” Solomon said. “I feel like we just got to move on from this and be well.”

While he didn’t complete any passes, Randall ran for 74 yards, while UA running back Nick Wilson, who rushed for at least 178 yards in his last two games, ran for just 26 yards on 13 carries. Randall’s 6.7 yards per carry was the most for any player with at least 10 carries on Friday night.

Scroggins played four drives in the second half, before giving way to Randall, who closed out the game with 25-yard touchdown run.

Randall had played in five games before the Championship game, running five times for 23 yards.

After not going to a bowl game from 1999 to 2007, the Wildcats have made it to six bowl games.

Since the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl win over BYU, Arizona has only been home for the holidays once, in 2011.

This year, the Wildcats will take on Boise State in the VIZIO Fiesta Bowl, by far the biggest bowl of the Rich Rod era.

Future schedules: Bring on the mid-majors

While Arizona is expected to be a playoff contender fairly often now, its future schedules don’t look like it.

In 2015, the Wildcats will host UTSA and NAU and travel to Nevada. In 2016, they’re scheduled to play Grambling State in Tucson and BYU at the Arizona Cardinals’ stadium.

In 2017, they host Houston and play at UTEP. Then in 2018, they have BYU and UTEP at home and a game at Houston.

After that, in 2019 to 2023, they play Hawaii, San Diego State and Mississippi twice and travel to BYU.

Q

What happens if you use Viagra but you don’t need it?

A. Ah, the little blue pill. It seems as though you can’t watch TV without seeing a commercial for erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs. Viagra is a prescription drug which helps men with ED get or keep an erection.

How do erections typically work? The arteries which lead into the penis open up, enabling blood to enter the penis more quickly. Simultaneously, the veins leaving the penis constrict - which causes the penis to become erect. So, how does Viagra help with ED? It increases blood flow into the penis by relaxing the smooth muscles which line the blood vessels.

This makes and keeps the penis erect.

Most college-aged men usually don’t need help with arousal. If there is not a blood flow problem to the penis, taking a pill to increase blood flow will most likely cause

a painful erection lasting a few hours.

Using Viagra may cause side effects ranging from headaches to heart attacks.

Younger men who do not need Viagra (but choose to take it anyway) could end up with a dependency and not be able to get and/or keep an erection without the drug.

There are many reasons (besides ED) why it can be difficult to get an erection: disinterest in sex, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, diabetes, alcohol or drug use. New research supports the idea that erection difficulties can be caused by both physical and mental factors. If you’re having erection problems, make an appointment with a doctor at the UA Campus Health Service at (520) 621-9202.

Bottom line: Just like any other prescription drug, if Viagra hasn’t been prescribed to you by your doctor, don’t take it.

A

s senior outside hitter Madi Kingdon walked off the McKale Center court for the final time in an Arizona uniform, something just didn’t seem right.

She had played her hardest, and it wasn’t the way she had wanted to go out. Instead, the BYU Cougars took Arizona’s chance for a Sweet Sixteen bid, defeating Arizona volleyball in a four-set affair in the second round of

the NCAA tournament.

The 6-foot-1 senior from Phoenix had fought for her team’s life throughout the match, amassing a career-high 33 kills, along with 23 digs and five blocks. Of the Wildcats’ total 184 attacks, Kingdon alone had 84.

But on the final strike of her career, the ball hit the net and rolled onto the floor, labeled as an attack error.

“I just didn’t think the end of our season would come this soon,” Kingdon said. “I thought we could

have made it past this round. It’s disappointing, and I’m sad to be done, but there’s nothing we can do now.”

Kingdon will leave the Arizona volleyball program as one of the best and most decorated players in program history. She holds the record for career matches played with 129, is second in kills with 1,943 and second in digs with 1,366.

In addition, Kingdon also holds the all-time record in sets played, kill attempts and 10-plus kill matches.

As soon as Kingdon stepped onto the UA campus, she became a leader.

As a freshman, she led the Wildcats in kills in 17 of 30 matches. During her sophomore season, she earned Pac12 Conference honorable mention all-conference honors, and in her junior season, she was named to the All-Pac-12 team.

When you add in her leadership and poise, Kingdon brought much more to the table than stats and

Football notes: Quarterbacks, bowl matchup and future games

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — While Arizona football played more quarterbacks than the number of touchdowns they scored on Friday in the Pac-12 Championship Game loss to Oregon, their quarterbacks’ night weren’t all bad.

UA starting quarterback Anu Solomon was 6-for-12 for 34 yards passing and ran six times for -23 yards before missing the second half.

Solomon has been battling an ankle injury, which led to him missing much of the Utah game and being questionable for the Territorial Cup. “Anu’s been battling through the injury for a month, and I’m proud of the way he’s competed,” UA head coach Rich Rodriguez said on Friday.

“It wasn’t a good night.”

Solomon stood behind Rodriguez at the start of the second half, fully suited up, except for his undershirt being untucked, before putting on a walking boot.

Arizona gained 224 yards, while the Ducks gained 617. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota scored five touchdowns and had 336 total yards,

On Saturday, Arizona men’s basketball picked up a marquee nonconference win in overtime. Sunday, the women followed suit.

Behind a 21-point performance from point guard Candice Warthen, the Wildcats defeated Wake Forest 72-69 for a signature road victory. The win moves Arizona to 4-3 on the season.

Warthen scored nine points in the overtime session, including seven made free-throw attempts. None were bigger than the last two, which expanded the lead to three points with 11 seconds to go.

Wake Forest (6-3) missed a potential game-tying 3 at the buzzer.
