ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
A HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA: 1885: Arizona�s thirteenth legislature approves $25,000 for Tucson to build Arizona�s first university while Phoenix is gifted $100,000 to construct the state insane asylum. Arizona State University was also chartered as Arizona�s �normal school� (teacher�s college) that year. Nov. 27, 1886: Two professional gamblers, E.B. Gifford and Ben Parker, and a local saloon owner, W.S. Read, donate 40 acres of land for the construction of a university. Oct. 27, 1887: Builders broke ground for Old Main, the first building constructed for the new university. Oct. 1, 1891: 32 students apply to attend the UA as part of its inaugural freshman class, but only 6 are admitted with the other 26 sent to preparatory schools. These first freshmen attended class at Old Main. 1895: Three students, two of them women, become the first UA graduates. Thanksgiving Day, 1899: The UA competes in a football game against the Tempe Normal School (which later became ASU), beginning one of the longestrunning collegiate rivalries in the United States. Tempe Normal School won this first clash 11-2. 1900: Quintas J. Anderson, then the UA student athletics manager, is offered a set of solid blue jerseys with red trimming for a low price. The jerseys are greeted enthusiastically and prompt the school to change its colors from silver and sage green to red and blue. The UA�s current school colors are navy blue and cardinal red. 1904: �The St. Patrick�s Day Strike�: After petitioning then-university President Babcock to recognize a full holiday on St. Patrick�s Day, many students refused to attend classes and marched downtown to enjoy the holiday they had been denied. February 14, 1912: Arizona becomes the 48th state. June 2, 1914: J.F. McKale is hired as the UA�s first athletic director. November 6, 1914: Civil engineering student Albert H. Condron suggests to a professor that Sentinel Peak should be surveyed so that a large �A� could be placed on it as a show of school pride. The 70-foot wide and 160-foot long �A,� built entirely by students, was completed on March 14, 1916. Members of the incoming UA freshman class repaint the �A� to mark the beginning of each school year. November 7, 1914: After a 14-0 loss to football powerhouse Occidental College, Los Angeles correspondent Bill Henry writes that the UA football team �showed the fight of wildcats.� The wildcat would become the UA�s first sports mascot and remains so to this day. October 17, 1915: The freshman football team raises $9.91 to purchase the UA�s first mascot, a bobcat named �Rufus Arizona,� after UA President Rufus B. von KleinSmid. Rufus would later die after accidentally hanging himself while tied to a tree on April 17, 1916. January 31, 1920: The Berger Memorial Fountain, donated by Alexander Berger and dedicated to his nephew Alexander Tindolph Berger, is built in front of Old Main to honor UA students who perished in World War I. October, 1926: UA student body president and football player John �Button� Salmon is critically injured in an automobile accident. During a visit with Athletic Director McKale, he reportedly asked McKale to �tell the team to bear down.� Salmon died on October 18, 1926, and a year later the UA would paint the words �bear down� on top of the school�s gymnasium in his honor. 1929: Dugald Stanley Holsclaw, UA class of 1925, writes �Fight! Wildcats! Fight!� the UA�s first fight song. September 1942: The UA�s Old Main is refurbished to become the wartime Naval Indoctrination School. The project was funded by a grant from the Navy and cost $89,000. July 1946: Thanks in part to the efforts of UA alumnus Wilber L. Bill Bowers, the UA obtains one of the two original bells salvaged from the U.S.S. Arizona after it was sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The bell was hung in the Student Union Memorial Center clock tower and rung for the first time on November 17, 1951. The bell was moved to its current location after the construction of the new Student Union Memorial Center on Aug. 16, 2002 and, on Sept. 11 of that year, Bowers became the first person to ring the bell in its new location. 1952: Former UA band director Jack K. Lee writes the early lyrics for �Bear Down Arizona� after seeing the words inscribed on top of Bear Down Gymnasium from his airplane. The song would later become the UA�s official fight song and was first played in September of that same year. 1959: UA roommates John Paquette and Dick Heller design the costume for � Wilber Wildcat.� UA student Ed Stuckenhoff would become the first incarnation of the UA�s current mascot during that year�s homecoming football game against Texas Tech University. October 21, 1967: About 275 students march from Speedway and Country Club to Randolph Park to protest the Vietnam War. Students would later stage takeovers of Old Main and the campus R.O.T.C. office as other signs of dissent. February 1973: The McKale Center athletic arena opens. It is now the largest arena in the Pacific-10 athletic conference in terms of total capacity. November 21, 1986: After almost thirty years as a confirmed bachelor, Wilbur Wildcat decides to settle down with his wife, Wilma. The two remain happily married (outside of occasional football game wardrobe malfunctions) to this day. February 26, 2000: The McKale center floor court is renamed �Lute Olson Court.� It was renamed �Lute and Bobbi Olson Court� the next January in honor of Lute Olson�s late wife, Bobbi. ARTICLES FORM 1944: 1,747 Students Register For Fall Semester; Now 3 Girls For Every Man - A total enrollment of 1,747 students was announced by C. Zaner Lesher, registrar. Of the 1,747 students, 1,279 are women and 468 men. The ratio of women to men is approximately 3 to 1. Although official registration is over for freshman and old students, Lesher expects the additional enrollment of at least 400 students. This would bring the total number of students to over 1,800 for the fifty-third autumn semester. Statistics show that this would be a decided increase of about 400 students above the enrollment at this time last year. This considerable increase over last year�s enrollment was due to several reasons, Lesher stated. INCREASED INTEREST High wages paid in defense jobs and general pay increases have enlarges incomes and enabled many students for whom it would have otherwise have been impossible, to enroll in the University of Arizona. He also cited an increased general interest in college as a possible reason for the enlarged enrollment. Another part of this increase is due to the enrollment of the 100 veterans of World War II. Fifty of the 100 men are enrolled under the government program outlines in the GI bill of rights. Another 25 are are registered under the veterans rehabilitation program, and the remaining 25 are discharged veterans entering on their own initiative. V-Day Plans Made By University Whistle Blast, Dismissal of Classes Await Allied Victory - On the University of Arizona capus plans for V-day celebrations were being made yesterday. According to Dr. Alfred Atkinson, president, the shop whistle of the university will blast heartily and steadily as soon as an author many is received from Allied headquarters. Classes will be dismissed immediately, and if word comes before 11:30 a.m. students will convene with the faculty and staff members in theh auditorium at once for assembly. If the news of Germany�s defeat is received is received after 11:30 a.m., classes will be dismissed for the remainder of the next morning at 9:10. In the event Germany is beaten over the week-end, the assembly will be held the following Monday morning. Principal speaker at the assembly will be Dr. Chester H. Smith of the law faculty. It will be conducted with respect to the fact that the war is not ended. Further plans for the program will be made by Dr. Emil Larson of the college of education, chairman of the special occasions committee, and Professor Rollin Pease, Dr. Smith and Dr. Napoleon Tremblay. Bell From U.S.S. Arizona To Be Placed In Old Main After Warh By: Margie Houseman October 6, 1944 - The ship�s bell from the U.S.S. Arizona has been promised the University of Arizona at the close of hostilities, according to word received recently by Gov. Sidney P. Osborn. The huge bronze bell, was retrieved from the battleship Arizona which was sunk in Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on Dec. 7, 1941. An alumnus of this university, Capt. Wilbur Bowers, �27, is credited by A. L. Slonaker, graduate manager, as instigator of the plan to solicit possession of the bell. The plan was referred to Gov. Osborn who sent a request to Rear Admiral R. M. Griffin, commandant of the Puget Sound Naval Yard, Bremerton, Wash., where the bell is now located. The commandant expressed approval of the request that the bell of the U.S.S. Arizona be sent to Arizona, but suggested that it remain at the navy yard as an inspiration to service men until the war is over. OSBORN ASSURED Secretary of Navy Forrestal assured Gov. Osborn this September that the bel will be presented to the state at the close of hostilities. � Since the possession by the state of Arizona of the bell of the U.S.S. Arizona would be greatly appreciated by the people of the state for reasons of sentiment and patriotism, the navy department is glad to give its consent to the proposed transfer to be made at the close of the war,� Forrestal advised Gov. Osborn. He added that the bell is a center of attraction at the navy yard, a grim reminder of the job ahead, and is rung daily.�Its presence and tone convey inspiration to the thousands of men working here or passing through on their way to combat ships of our fleet,� Griffin declared. There has been scattered journalistic agitation throughout the state that the bell should be placed in a more public site. However, as the situation now stands it will be placed on campus. ARTICLES FROM 1965: Enrollment Predicted at 18,000 Sept. 11, 1964 Approximately 18,000 students are expected to enroll for the fall semester, according to David L. Windsor, University registrar and director of admissions. Returning students begin registering today and will continue tomorrow and Monday. New student will register tomorrow and Monday. Students in the College of Law registered Sept 8 and 9. The expected on-campus enrollment will exceed the 1963 fall semester enrollment by approximately 800, said Windsor. The figures do not include about 2,000 students who take continuing education courses in several places in southern Arizona and student who are enrolled in correspondence courses. ZBT �Kidnaps� Housemothers - Members of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity �kidnapped� sorority housemothers last Tuesday and held them until the sororities paid the �ransom.� The housemothers of every campus sorority were invited to a tea Tuesday for the ZBT�s new housemother, Mrs. Ray Fontaine. The ZBT�s informed the housemothers that they would be prisoners of the fraternity until at least 50 members of each sorority ransomed them by serenading the ZBTs. The ZBTs �kidnapped� a student representative of sororities who housemothers were not present at the tea. No Dinner - As the sororities members were getting ready for dinner, they realized the absence of the housemothers. A phone call from the ZBT house told the girls �to serenade the ZBT house or to miss dinner and lose their housemother.�It was nearly sunset when the sorority girls arrived in front of the ZBT house, where their housemothers were seated on chairs out on the lawn and heavily guarded by the fraternity�s men. After the sororities serenaded the men, the housemothers were released and peace reigned again in sororities. Final Exams Reduced To 2 Hours Nov. 13, 2010 - All final examination periods have been cut from three hours to two hours this semester at the request for the Faculty Senate, according to David L. Winsor registrar. This is one of four major revisions in the examination schedule issued recently by Windsor�s office. Many professors feel that a two-hour examination period is sufficient to determine what a student has learned,� Windsor said. �Also, we want to retain the original eight-day examination period. To do this, the hour reduction is necessary because of the other revisions.�The other revisions are: students in certain sectioned courses will be given the same examination; continuing education (late afternoon and evening) tests will be given in the regular examination period, and no examinations will be held during the noon hour. The important change is the giving of common ecams in certain sectioned courses,� Windsor said. �Many faculty feel it is difficult to grade students fairly if they aren�t given the same examination.�Coeds Ask for Permission To Visit Men�s Apartments March 11, 1965 - Permission for women students to visit men�s unchaperoned apartments is one of two suggested changes in the rules in Kitten Klues, Associated Women Students (AWS) handbook, which has been submitted to the Dean of Women�s office for approval. The other change is in regard to Tucson signouts. The approval of the suggestions by Karen Carlson, dean of women, and University officials will allow women students to visit men�s apartments, or stay overnight in Tucson with a relative or a woman town student, providing they have permission letters in the Dean of Women�s office. Charlotte Cleveland, AWS president, said that through these changes the individual will assume responsibility and The University will be relieved of pressure. These suggestions were unanimously approved by women living in the residence halls and sorority houses. If the Dean of Women approves the changes, she will present them to the Advisory Council of University officials for final approval some time this week. The suggested changes resulted from a special AWS committee formed to investigate the men�s apartment ruling in other schools throughout the nation. ARTICLES FROM 1985: Friday, November 9, 1984 Five Homecoming Queen hopefuls honored to be part of UA tradition By Christine Donnelly - Continuing a tradition that began in 1947, the University of Arizona will crown its 37th Homecoming Queen tonight at a party at the Ramada Inn, 404 N. Freeway. The Homecoming Queen and Kind and their court will also be presented at tomorrow night�s UA football game. The wildcats will host the Stanford University Cardinal. Five senior women are being considered for the title, which is sponsored by Bobcats, a senior men�s honorary at the UA. The women were told they were finalists on Oct. 29. Since then, they have visited local civic organizations, appeared on local television and attended rallies on the UA Mall. The nominating process began several weeks ago. After being nominated by a UA group or organization, the women filled

Presidents recall university experience think my favorite thing was to have alumni, former faculty and students on campus at the same time to celebrate the accomplishments of the university and athletic accomplishments as well. It was a great time for different generations of students and faculty to come together.”
Peter Likins, president from 1997-2006
John Schaefer, president from 1971-82
What have you been doing since your time as president? “I headed a science foundation for about the next 25 years. I got involved in a lot of telescope projects.” If you could rate your experience as university president on a scale of one to 10, what would you rate it? “Ten. I think it was a great period of transition for the university during which we became internationally distinguished as an institution.” What do you see as your biggest accomplishment as president? “The change in mindset that the UA really didn’t have any limit to its potential. The creation of the Pac-10 (Conference) was certainly a great achievement. The creation of the Center for Creative Photography was another.” What was most trying about being the president of the university? “Trying to keep all the constituents happy within the financial constraints that you face. You never have enough money to do all the things you want to do. I think that’s gotten a lot tougher since I left.” Are there any national, international or university events that stand out as highlights of your presidency? “It was the end of the Vietnam War, which was a difficult time for the university. My first year on campus, we were worried about keeping Old Main from burning down. We had people patrolling all night long.”
Manuel Pacheco, president from 1991-97
What have you been doing since your time as president? “I went to be president of the University of Missouri system. I did that for about seven years. I’m retired and living in Phoenix now.” How would you rank your time at the university on a scale of one to 10? “I’d say it was certainly at least a nine.” What was most trying during your time as President? “There are so many different constituents who are vying for attention … It would be to balance all the needs of the institution with the resources the university has.” What do you see as your biggest accomplishment? “I think a big thing achieved with a large degree of success was showing a research university can also be a good teaching university. Research and undergraduate education are, as I used to call it, two sides of the same coin.” Do you have any regrets or things you wish you would have done differently? “In retrospect, there are always things you could’ve done differently. I think we did the right kinds of things. The university did well during that time period.” What were some of the highlights of your presidency? “We had a large number of agreements with universities in Italy and Germany, which I think advanced the standing of the university primarily in research and allowing students to go over there to study.” What’s your favorite part of Homecoming? “There are so many things. I
What have you been doing since your time as President? “I’ve written a book, and I’m active in the community … I’m not employed, and I’m determined to keep it that way.” How would you rank your time at the university on a scale of one to 10? “I’d call it a nine.”
I was really proud of how our community responded.” What’s your favorite part of Homecoming? “My wife and I love football, and Homecoming surrounds football. “I don’t ever escape my dedication to the success of the football team.” On the 125th Anniversary: “That is a celebration of the achievement of our faculty. I was profoundly impressed by the faculty during my time here.” What was especially rewarding about being president? “I enjoyed just building an exciting and vibrant faculty.” What are you looking forward to at Homecoming? “Kissing the Homecoming queen! And seeing old friends.”
Robert Shelton, president from 2006-present
What was most trying during your time as president? “Dealing with the state Legislature. That’s a pretty simple question.” What do you see as your biggest accomplishment? “I think I helped make the culture more inclusive, more accepting of diversity … In the long run, I think my influence on the culture will best stand the test of time.” Do you have any regrets or things you wish you would have done differently? “No, I don’t. Part of that is my personality. I make mistakes like anyone else … You have to do what you think is right, and don’t dwell upon it afterwards.” What were some of the highlights of your presidency? “9/11. I was extremely proud of our campus community and the people of Tucson. That was a really dangerous moment, and
— Brenna Goth
On a scale of one to 10, how would you rate your experience as president so far? “And 10 is the highest? Oh, gosh, I’d say nine. I love this job. It’s that way because — this will sound a bit Pollyanna-ish — there’s so much talent at the university. The students, the staff, the faculty — people are passionate about the place.” What’s the most difficult aspect of being president? “In this day and age, it’s ensuring budget stability. I’d like to say budget growth, but no, it’s budget stability. What you want is for all the creative people here … you just want them to be able to do their creative work and not worry about all this other stuff. You want to facilitate that, so providing that kind of stability day in and day out, week in and week out, that’s a big challenge these days.” What’s your favorite aspect of the job? “Well in general, it’s getting to meet all the people … it’s interacting with people on campus, in the community, in the country.” What do you see as your biggest accomplishment so far as president? “Well, I would say maybe a first item would be the recruiting of a really strong cabinet administrative leadership team … and then, some of the programs we’ve put in place like the Arizona Assurance program. It’s not only helped the Arizona Assurance scholars but sent the message of accessibility to everyone.” Is there anything you’ve regretted or wish you’d done
differently? “Oh, I’m sure there are lots of things. Yeah, I wish I could be more convincing of the elected officials of the state to the value of education to the future of Arizona. We work hard at getting that message across, but sometimes it seems like an uphill battle.” Are there any overarching goals you’d like to complete during your remaining years as president? “The three words we’re using to try to describe this university are access, quality and discovery. And it’s that excitement about discovery that sets us apart from other very good schools. The goals and the plans we have are to continue to improve on all of those … and continue to lead the state and the Southwest in important discoveries.” What have been some of the highlights of your presidency so far? “Well we’re coming up on one, the 125th. Certainly the celebration that occurred when the (Phoenix) Mars Lander touched down successfully. Since we were running the operation from here, we had journalists from all over the world, hundreds of them — from Europe, Asia, South America, Australia — they were all here, participating in the excitement that was going on. So that was a huge one.” What’s your favorite part about UA Homecoming? “Basically it’s the way the university opens its doors, lets everybody in and says, ‘This is your university.’ My favorite part is the alumni, the families come onto campus and make this their university.” On being president: “I get to ride in the float in the parade. No, I mean it’s a privilege to have this job. It sounds corny, but really, it is.”

ASUA presidents reflect on their time in the top spot
The Associated Students of the University of Arizona have a heritage of giving advice to the new president each year, commemorated by a president’s dinner held at the end of each school year. The 125th Anniversary of the UA gives past presidents a chance to look back on their time in ASUA’s top spot and offer some quick advice to the woman who currently holds the presidency.
students. Stand up to the people you have to stand up to. It’s an honor and a great privilege. Do your job well, and it will all be worth it.”
Pat Mitchell, 1976-77
Getting into ASUA: “I was planning on surviving the University of Arizona and getting a degree and figuring out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life,” Mitchell said. A student body president at Yuma High School, Mitchell’s involvement in ASUA started with the sophomore honorary Sophos and the junior honorary Chain Gang, and through some encouragement, he got onto the appropriations board, senate and eventually became the student body president. Memorable moments: Helping with legislation for the original student regent and eventually becoming executive director of the Arizona Students’ Association. “We went from kind of kids to playing in the real world of politics,” Mitchell said. “But it’s something that you got to do if you want to have something to say.” Misconceptions and challenges: “You hear this constant questioning of its relevance. People have had that question about their city government, their county government. It’s what you invest; it’s how much you care. That is what determines whether or not it works,” Mitchell said. “It’s not a complicated formula. It’s hard to do, but the formula is not complicated.” Where are they now? Lobbyist and practicing attorney in Washington, D.C. Advice for Fritze: “Live it to the hilt, live it, enjoy it. You’ve got one job, which is to represent the — Jazmine Woodberry
Misconceptions and challenges: “The most interesting thing is that you can trace all those changes back 10 years. You just got to understand that if you do a good job, it will work,” May said. Where are they now? Active with ASUA and the UA Alumni Association as well as a practicing lawyer with two children at the UA. Advice for Fritze: “Don’t forget who you represent. In ASUA, one year passes awfully fast, and you have to work hard and enjoy it.”
Francisco Aguilar, 1999-2000
Philip G. ‘Flip’ May, 1979-80
Getting into ASUA: “I came down here (to the UA) because it wasn’t there (ASU).” His friend’s injury on the intramural practice field because of bad field conditions was the impetus to get his voice into ASUA. “I went to the student government and said, ‘You gotta be kidding me,’” May recalled. “Just sort of serendipity, someone resigned, and I got appointed because I was rattling the cage.” Memorable moments: Challenging administration on fire safety to get fire escapes installed in older residence halls like Maricopa and continuing work to improve the campus, adding the Alumni Plaza by the Administration building and the Wildcat Family statues to the UA Mall as president of the UA Alumni Association and a selfproclaimed active UA historian. “Because I was in ASUA, I understood the institution better. I had a deeper understanding of the university,” May said. “And I am still involved with the university, helping students because once a student, always a student.”
Getting into ASUA: “I did not plan on getting into ASUA. I was born and raised in Tucson, and I thought I would go to UA, and I would focus on working,” Aguilar said. “My roommate forced me into running for senate. I was like, ‘You’re crazy. I would never win,’ but he was like, ‘You know everybody.’ So, I ran for senate and won and thought, ‘Oh this is fun.’” His days in senate led him to seek the executive vice presidential seat and then the presidency before graduating in 2000. “Growing up in Tucson and seeing the UA but not really understanding it, really understanding it and being the first in my family to go to college, it was really important for me — my time there. It was definitely changed by being in ASUA. “It definitely opened up a lot of doors to how decisions and issues are resolved and that things aren’t handled in a vacuum. There’s a process, there’s involvement, and then trying to manage all those issues.” Memorable moments: His work in ASUA pushed others around him into the political sphere, such as his friend Gloria Montano. “I recruited (Gloria) to be the
elections commissioner, and our first battle was that they wanted to triple the price for the polling places that we were using on campus, and so Raul Grijalva at the time was working with the bookstore, and she worked with him on that, and years later, she ended up becoming his chief of staff in Washington, D.C.,” Aguilar said. Misconceptions and challenges: Students not understanding the impact of ASUA, not just from year to year, but in the breadth of the college experience in general. “Sometimes people see events they plan or they see ASUA as a clique or a group of kids that are into government, a group of future bureaucrats. But in working with the administration, (I saw that) the student voice did impact outcomes,” Aguilar said. “There is a real policy process that impacts every student.” Where are they now? Works with the Nevada Athletic Commission, which oversees Ultimate Fighting Championship in Las Vegas, and is a member of the Corporate Council for Agassi Graf Holdings and the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education. Advice to Fritze: “Just be as active as you can and make sure to learn from those experiences, good or bad. Always to remember that your integrity and honesty are so very important, and nothing is worth compromising any of those characteristics. Have fun, work hard, and that it’s all worth it.”
Emily Fritze, 2010-11
On presidents past: “ASUA is really fortunate. We have a longstanding tradition of them giving advice and looking out for each new student body president that comes in,” Fritze said. “There are just a lot of different old student body presidents and just institutional knowledge and
history to learn from.” She references old archives and the impact former, especially female, presidents have had on their constituencies. “It’s really important to me, the opportunity I have to have such strong leaders to have come before me and allowed me to have the access and the resources I have in ASUA now, and it is really a testament to the hard work to the student leaders of the past,” Fritze said. Best piece of advice: “Well, you know, the one thing that seems obvious but it is an important piece of advice, the most important role is at all times is to represent students and present the student perspective and what students want at the time, no matter if it is unpopular with administration or with the community,” Fritze said. “It is really important to hear that message from them.” Early impressions on the job: “I’m fortunate because I think I was really well prepared, I had a lot of older mentors, but I don’t think anything can prepare you to be student body president,” Fritze said. “Nothing prepares you for the schedule or anything, but also for the exciting opportunities that no other student, probably, in the university gets to do. I guess just going in with a completely open mind, but really nothing can truly prepare you for the job.” Photos by Ginny Polin/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Making the UA a research powerhouse over 125 years takes effort in all fields By Lívia Fialho Arizona Daily Wildcat Over the course of its 125-year history, the UA has established a solid position in various fields of knowledge, achieving significant scientific breakthroughs and discoveries. Today, university research brings in over $600 million from outside sources every year. The UA set its place as a major research institution during the 1960s and 1970s, a time when the federal government pushed for investments in universities across the country. At that time, the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory was established by Gerard Kuiper, paving the way for what has been one of the fields for which the UA has been best known: space research. Head and Director of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Michael Drake joined the UA as a graduate student over 30 years ago. He witnessed the period of research expansion that “catapulted regional universities serving a local population to (become) great research universities.” From 1979 to 1989, the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory led the Voyager Missions. This was a decade of spatial discoveries; they took the first picture of Saturn with its two moons, causing a media frenzy. The LPL researchers alo led the landing on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons. “We were designed to parachute into it only. We were not designed to land and take pictures, but we did. You’re not to supposed to actually survive landing,” Drake said. The universe was opening in the 1980s, Drake said. One of the most important aspects of it was, to him, “the notion that there are places where life can exist with conditions that on Earth we find (it) impossible to.” In the 1990s, the focus turned to Mars. The Phoenix Mars Mission made the university the first to actually run a spacecraft
mission, and it was done on campus. During this mission, UA discovered the existence of ice on Mars. Previously, it was believed water existed on Mars but none had ever been found.
UA professor paves way for heart transplants
In 1979 expertise in heart transplantations grew and precedents were set, changing the way insurance companies and hospitals deal with transplants nationwide. That year, the university became the sixth program in the world to do heart transplantation with a “formal plan of attack on heart disease,” said Dr. Jack Copeland, a professor of surgery who pioneered the artificial heart. Although the procedure is now common, with over 90,000 transplants performed to date, according to Copeland, in those days, only 100 or so had been done. The delicate mission had to overcome barriers to perform what was deemed an experimental study. The university had misgivings about “a small center in the middle of the desert starting a world class attempt” to do it when many had failed, Copeland said. “There were people saying we might get valley fever or there weren’t enough candidates,” Copeland said. “Cardiologists from Tucson were standing up and saying, ‘I’ll never send a patient to the (UA) because they won’t be able to do it. They’re not qualified.’ And anesthesia said, ‘We will not give anesthesia for heart transplantation’ because they were afraid of the medical legal implications.” Once it was done successfully, the first recipient of a heart transplantation faced yet another barrier. Since it was still an experimental procedure, Medicare didn’t cover costs of the surgery, and the patient was left with a large bill to pay. Copeland and his patient sued the government

and won. The suit established the precedent for heart transplants to be covered by Medicare and eventually insurance companies all around the U.S. The first heart transplant patient became “a hero” in the whole region, Copeland said, because virtually no center in the country was performing it. “We were right there in the top three or four hospitals in the U.S. in heart transplantation from the very start,” he said. In 1985, with the heart transplantation program established, Copeland set up another goal. Having lost a few patients in the transplants because their donor hearts didn’t work, he got the idea for an artificial heart that would sustain a patient who was in an extremely fragile state until they could get a real donor heart. Once he had such a patient, Copeland got an artificial heart from a center in Phoenix but was not successful. The team — most of whom had been a part of the heart
transplant endeavor — trained in a center in Salt Lake City. A few months later, they succeeded in putting a total artificial heart to “bridge” the patient to transplantation. That was the first time the procedure was successful anywhere in the world. Nine days later, the patient received a donor heart. Now, thousands of people are getting artificial hearts of various kinds to sustain them or help them permanently, Copeland said. He has spent the last 25 years working on improvements of various kinds dealing with the artificial heart, its procedure and patients’ quality of life. “We’re really helping people in major ways that weren’t possible before,” Copeland said. “It is a lot of fun to know that we’ve done something that’s been helpful to a lot of people. I feel like the university has allowed me to make a difference for people, and that’s very rewarding.” “One of the many reasons
for the UA’s uniqueness in several fields of studies is its interdisciplinary ability, according to Andrew Comrie, associate vice president for research and dean of the Graduate College, as well as Drake said. “The characteristics of this university has been that, unlike many universities where departments are very parochial, for whatever reason, here we always looked at academic departments more as administrative conveniences and not as barriers to influential activity,” Drake said. In order to achieve success with great scientific discoveries as the university has, often “the overlap of two or three sets of expertise, sometimes more” is needed, and the cutting edge projects conducted over 125 years attest to the endurance of solid research institution, Comrie said.

Happy Birthday UofA!!!
And while the University of Arizona marks its 125th anniversary, the Campus Health Service is celebrating its 92nd year of providing quality care to students and staff at The University of Arizona.
UofA Infirmary serving returning “Doughboys” during WWI in 1918
One of the longest serving units at the UA, the Campus Health Service began as a result of the worldwide Spanish Influenza epidemic during the 1918-1919 academic year. The entire campus was quarantined during the outbreak. The original infirmary opened in the Schweitzer Home, located at the present site of the Koffler Chemistry Building.
Student Health Center at corner of Cherry Ave and 3rd Street 1951
From those humble beginnings, the Infirmary grew into the Student Health Center which was located for 40 years at Cherry Avenue and the UA Mall. Serving as an inpatient facility and housing dozens of overnight hospital patients, it was the very first college health center in the U.S. to gain full national accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals.
Today's modern Campus Health Service opened in 2004, and is housed in the Highland Commons Building on the south side of campus where it functions as an urgent care center and ambulatory health clinic. Each year Campus Health sees nearly 50 percent of all enrolled UA students, through more than 125,000 separate service visits. "Since its inception, the Campus Health Service has taken the lead in looking out for the health and safety of those who learn, work and live at the UA and in promoting health and wellness across the UA community," said Harry McDermott, M.D., MPH, the Executive Director of UA Campus Health Services. The people who comprise the Campus Health Service come from many disciplines and offer a comprehensive array of award-winning care, including medicine, nursing, laboratory, pharmacy, counseling and psychological services, physical therapy, women's health, x-ray and health promotion and preventive services. Campus Health is perhaps best-known to students as the place to seek care for colds, sprained ankles, sore throats, injuries, depression, or information on nutrition or sexual health. In addition, many students benefit from the opportunity to advance their career education through student employment, internships and professional rotations working under the direction of expert staff members. This Campus Health Service in combination of service, teaching and research perfectly supports the mission of the UA both in the Highland Commons Building 2010 Tucson and statewide. We are proud to be an integral chapter in the history of the University of Arizona!

From one small building to one square mile By Steven Kwan Arizona Daily Wildcat
The UA campus has grown immensely from its beginning as Old Main, a solitary building in the middle of the Tucson desert. Departments and disciplines may expand and contract, but these locations — and their history — have endured for 125 years. These images combine current Arizona Daily Wildcat photographs with how each building looked during or near the time of its completion. Special thanks to University of Arizona External Relations and the staff at the University of Arizona Library Special Collections for their help with this project and for providing the archival photographs. Completed in 1904, the Douglass building was the home of the UA’s first proper library and museum. It was renamed in 1980 for Andrew Ellicott Douglass, a professor of physics and astronomy. During his 56-year career at the UA, Douglass created the foundation for the university’s astronomy and space sciences departments and research, and introduced tree-ring research to campus. Built in 1926 to replace Arizona’s first gymnasium, Herring Hall, Bear Down Gymnasium housed basketball and other sports until McKale Center opened in 1973. The last basketball game was held Jan. 18, 1973, during Fred Enke’s tenure as head coach. During World War II, the gym served as housing for 500 indoctrinees at a time who were enrolled in the Naval Training School.
On Jan. 31, 1920, the Berger Memorial Fountain in front of Old Main was dedicated amid a huge turnout of students, faculty, townspeople, and military members who came to honor the university’s World War I dead and to greet the guest of honor, Gen. John J. Pershing.
Herring Hall was the UA’s first gymnasium when it was built in 1903. It is the UA’s second-oldest building and is named for Col. William T. Herring, territory lawyer and chancellor and president of the Arizona Board of Regents from 1898 to 1903. The original wildcat mascot, first called “Tom Easter,” was introduced to the UA in Herring Hall. Photo illustrations by Lisa Beth Earle/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Tuition Dorm life evolution: rises from Attitudes change with technology $214 By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Since 1966 the cost of attending has gone from hundreds to thousands By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Tuition at the UA has increased significantly over the last few decades, regardless of inflation. Whether you are an Arizona resident or an out-of-state student, the price tag of an education at the UA has grown significantly throughout the years, and yearly increases in tuition are now the norm. This year, tuition for an undergraduate Arizona resident is $8,326, a 20 percent increase from last year. Many students, whether on scholarship or if their family foots the bill, are affected by these increases, and some have to shoulder the debt of student loans to get their degree. Others, however, feel financial aid has done an adequate job maintaining pace with tuition increases. “Scholarship funding is not linked to tuition, so negligibly, we haven’t seen a decrease in scholarship money because of tuition,” said John Nametz, director of the Office of Student Financial Aid. “Our admissions are holding real well. People enrolled for the fall of 2010 are steady, and the numbers are real good. We’re holding up in residence students. They’re pretty flat or the same as last year at most.” Altogether, UA students will pay $45.5 million more in tuition this year than last year. “Economics tells us that as prices rise, demand falls,” said Alexandre Borges Sugiyama, a lecturer in economics. Since its inception, the UA has experienced relative tuition increases that have been growing as fast as the student population itself.

How would you feel about living in a residence hall with no air conditioning, no electricity or phone service? These were the living conditions faced by the residents of North Hall, the first dorm built on campus in 1896. People were still fishing in the Santa Cruz River in the downtown area in 1898, said Peter Dourlein, interim associate vice president of Planning, Design and Construction . “A mulepowered streetcar was first put into service, pressurized water was recently put into service; the first bathtub in Tucson connected to water wouldn’t occur until 1904.” Dourlein said that this required the construction of a new sewage conveyance system such as out-houses; cesspools would be over capacity with the added water. He added that today’s buildings are system intensive — involving mechanical air conditioning, heating and filtering systems with high tech controls and lighting systems. This includes everything from outlets and lights to elevators and fire alarm systems. Aside from the difference in facilities, it was a lot cheaper to build a dorm in that time than it is today. North Hall cost $10,711 to build, according to Melissa Dryden, senior program coordinator for Planning, Design and Construction. Today, the two construction projects located on Euclid Avenue and Sixth Street, and Highland Avenue and Sixth Street cost a combined $159 million to build. Manzanita Residence Hall, located on the west side of campus, became the UA’s first coed dorm in 1976. Jim Van Arsdel, director of Residence Life, has been a witness to the changes on the UA campus for 24 years . Arsdel came in 1986 and remembers visitation hours, meaning that women residents could not have guests of the opposite sex in their rooms after midnight during the week and past 2 a.m. on weekends. When he arrived at the UA, Hopi Residence Hall, Cochise Residence Hall and other buildings lacked air conditioning, Arsdel said. They only had evaporative cooling in the lounge space area. “It was a different world back then,” Arsdel said. “People who are old-time Tucson residents here that I know talk about growing up in houses that had bare concrete floors, and when they wanted to cool the house, they would

throw water on the floor and spread it around. As the water evaporated, the house would cool.” Refrigerators and microwaves did not exist back then, he said, nor did fire protection devices such as sprinklers, detectors and emergency stairwells. “If you look at some older halls like Yavapai , Gila and Yuma , you see the added stairwell outside the building because they were built in the early 1980s,” Arsdel said. “Before then, there were no emergency stairwells, and the buildings were a more dangerous place than they are now.” There was also a major difference when it came to communication, he said, since cell phones were nonexistent. “If I wanted to call someone I would call the front desk of a residence hall, and they would buzz you,” he said. “There was a certain code for each person, and if you got a call you would hear the buzzer and take the call in the hallway.”
Gender policy changes Some other dormitories built in the early years of the UA included East Cottage and West Cottage, which were built in 1892 and housed women. Men were temporarily housed in Old Main until North Hall was built. Arsdel remembers the women’s rights movement initiating in the early ‘60s and late ‘70s on the liberal University of Illinois campus where he attended school. He said on his campus they had already accepted coed facilities and visitation rights, but the UA campus had not.

Yuma Hall was the first of two new women’s dormitories to be opened. It housed 142 women, had an elevator, a kitchen on each floor and room phones. It was constructed on the site of the 1892 East Cottage.
The policies at the UA were mainly in place in an attempt to separate men and women, Arsdel said. “And everyone assumed that if you had these policies, you could keep men and women from engaging in sexual activities.” He added that people were expected to leave the residence halls at the times assigned, but some did not. “It was painfully obvious that some of these rules were maybe well intended but were not having the impact they expected them to,” he said. The policies began to change in the mid ‘80s when the university decided to commingle genders in the buildings. The only two buildings today that remain singlesex dorms are Maricopa and Parker House. “Students tended to love the coed dorms. It was seen as, ‘Oh this is going to be fun,’

... here’s to another 125 years
and on a more meaningful level, students saw it as the university treating them in a more adult-like fashion,” Arsdel said. The policy was then that students could have visitors 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with permission from their roommates. This would force students to interact and respect one another. “Part of living in a residence hall is experiencing a group living experience,” he said. “There are all kinds of issues in life that need to be negotiated by people, and as freshman, they have little experience doing that.” Arsdel explains that in the process of coming to the UA, which was a relatively conservative school compared to the University of Illinois, he was surprised that the women’s movement did not carry the same urgency among students than it did at his other school.

Six of the most influential people in Arizona athletics history Thousands of successful athletes and coaches have passed through the hallowed halls of McKale Center over the years. The list of athletes that were All-Americans while at Arizona or champions in the professional league of their sport is endless, but none of the successes of these men and women would have been possible without the contributions of the six most influential people in Arizona athletics history.
program. In 1972, Roby became Arizona’s first director of athletics for women, when men and women’s athletic departments were still separate. She was then named the associate director of athletics in 1982, when both women and men’s athletic departments merged. Roby guided Arizona’s journey through several conferences, including the Intermountain Athletic Conference, the Western Collegiate Athletic Association and the Pacific-West Conference. Arizona ultimately ended up joining the Pacific 10 Conference in 1978, which was only one of several groundbreaking advances in Arizona’s athletic department during Roby’s time. Roby has been recognized several times for her success in bringing women’s athletics to the forefront of national attention. She is a member of the University of Arizona Mortar Board Hall of Fame, the University of Arizona Greek Alumni Hall of Fame, the University of Arizona Sports Hall of Fame, the Pima County Sports Hall of Fame and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Hall of Fame. Arizona’s Mary Roby Gymnastics Training Center is named in her honor. — Alex Williams
John ‘Button’ Salmon
There are not many UA athletes who had more of an impact than John “Button” Salmon. Salmon was a little bit of everything when he was on campus in 1926: student body president, starting quarterback and catcher for the baseball team. Salmon was involved in a car

Lute Olson
By Bryan RoyLute Olson transformed the southwest desert into a college basketball oasis in his 25 years at UA. After arriving in 1983, the Hall of Famer overhauled an irrelevant program into one of national prominence. He led Arizona to 24 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Olson’s 1997 national championship team still remains the only one to beat three No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. He went 589-188 at Arizona. While Olson’s turbulent retirement in 2008 left the program in a state of uncertainty, it was later revealed that he had suffered from a stroke, which impaired his judgment and forced Olson to take a season-long leave of absence in 2007. As time passes, his legacy remains as one of the greatest coaches in college basketball history. His contributions to UA elevated a dormant basketball program to elite status and put the city of Tucson on the map. — Bryan Roy
Mary Roby
If you’re looking for a reason that the Arizona women’s athletic programs have blossomed into what they are today, look no further than Mary Roby. A member of the 1948 graduating class, Roby returned to Arizona in 1959 as both a teacher and the director of the Women’s Recreation Association
accident in which he was seriously injured. Head football coach and athletic director J.F. “Pop” McKale would visit him every day in the hospital. During one visit Salmon told McKale, “Tell them … tell the team to bear down.” Those words not only affected the team that year, when they won a tough battle against New Mexico State the next week, but they continue to echo across the campus today. The impact of those words inspired the words “Bear Down,” written across the roof of Bear Down Gymnasium by the Chain Gang Junior Honorary organization, a plaque near McKale Center describing Salmon’s story and the school fight song. — Kevin Nadakal
Fred Snowden
Fred Snowden was a pioneer for all black collegiate coaches. In 1972, Snowden was became the first black head coach at a major university when he was hired at Arizona. The year before Snowden was hired, Arizona posted a 6-20 record. In his first year, he posted a 16-10 record and won the Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. In 1973, Snowden’s second season, McKale Center opened and the team’s winning ways drew enough fans to fill the newly built arena. In his fourth season, Snowden led the Wildcats to a WAC championship and made a deep NCAA run to the elite eight, giving Arizona its best season in the Snowden era. The 1975-76 season would turn out to be one of the best in Arizona basketball history, but Snowden laying the ground work for all black coaches is what will be remembered forever. — Vincent Balistreri
James Fred ‘Pop’ McKale
When you hear McKale, you probably think McKale Center, the arena on campus that houses the gymnasium that plays home to Arizona gymnastics, volleyball and men and women’s basketball. But James Fred “Pop” McKale has had far more impact than just a name to a building. McKale served as athletic director at Arizona from 1914 until 1957. In that time, McKale was a coach for track, basketball, baseball and football. His most famous contribution comes from UA legend John “Button” Salmon, the star quarterback who passed away after an automobile accident in 1926. McKale visited Salmon in the hospital and brought back his last recorded words to campus. Thus, Arizona’s “bear down” rally cry was born and Salmon became a UA legend. McKale is also directly related to the mascot that Arizona is now known as: the Wildcats. It was McKale’s football team that played and lost 14-0 against Occidental College, but the players’ fight led Los Angeles Times writer Bill Henry to say “The Arizona men showed the fight of wildcats” and the name stuck. — Nicole Dimtsios
Mike Candrea
Mike Candrea coaching his Arizona softball team into a championship-level squad is about as likely as the sun rising every morning. Candrea has eight national titles to his name, and for four-year players, only one graduating senior class has left Arizona without a championship, starting with the freshman crop of 1988. Not only does Candrea win — he wins with consistency. He’s also led the Wildcats to the Women’s College World Series 22 times in the last 23 years, meaning his teams have been one of the last eight squads standing after the regular season all but one time in that span. Granted, Candrea has been busy outside of Arizona for a couple years of his tenure. He was the head coach for the USA Olympic Softball team in 2004 and 2008, where he coached teams into gold and silver medal runs, respectively. — Kevin Zimmerman
Leatherheads a thing of the past By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat From the very beginning, football found a home at Arizona. “We’re all just shadows passing through this game,” Arizona co-defensive coordinator Greg Brown said. “This game is going to be here. We’ll be long gone, and this game is going to be going strong at the University of Arizona.” In 1899, players and their equipment certainly didn’t look like they do now. The men representing Arizona donned sage green and silver. Players were given old leather shoes that a local shoemaker would attach cleats to, which were expected to provide enough traction to maneuver through poorly
groomed fields. Padded canvas pants were expected to provide protection for players’ legs. Old shirts were stuffed into jerseys — really, just old cotton sweaters — bracing players for brutal impact. For head protection? Nothing. Flash forward 125 years, and you’ll find a sport obsessed with protection, speed and improving performance. “They’ve definitely dressed up football a lot since then,” said Adam Hall, a current sophomore safety. “Not just fashion, but pads, and they’ve changed the game in the last recent years. They change the game as far as speed-wise, and they change the game finessewise.” In a game that has become ingrained in American culture, every detail has become scrutinized. And it’s not just
Evolution of equipment changes the gridiron

the players that are being watched and evaluated but also the cleats, jerseys and helmets that have become football garb. “Everything is more refined, more specialized,” said Wendell Neal, associate athletics director for equipment operations. “When
the equipment started getting more protective is when the game started to get more important.” Companies produce 12 to 15 kinds of shoes in one year ’s line of cleats. Shoulder pads have changed from foam on the shoulder sewn into the jersey to equipment that now
costs more than the players’ helmets. Facemasks were added to helmets, and since the 1970s, the facemasks have developed to protect players’ mouths and teeth. The developments from 1899 to the present day are astounding.

Building a foundation By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat Four decades ago, women’s athletics was an afterthought. There were very few women’s varsity programs in America, and the sports received very little funding. Then came Title IX, and the evolution of women’s sports hasn’t stopped since. “Title IX … that’s what propelled (the change),” said deputy director of athletics Rocky LaRose. “After that, society quickly caught on and the numbers just expanded tremendously at the high school and college levels.” Title IX was enacted in 1972 and banned discrimination based on sex in federallyfunded academics and athletics. Arizona, with 10 women’s programs, isn’t the only university with thriving women’s teams. Colleges and universities across the country have expanded women’s athletics over the years, and some schools like Ohio State have as many as 19 teams. The growth is something that LaRose is thrilled to see. “The same things have led to change through the country,” she said. “To see women’s programs go from having very few spectators to being able to fill arenas in some parts … to see some of our athletes celebrated in the sports pages and such, it’s just totally different.” LaRose has had a front row seat to the evolution of women’s athletics at Arizona. She played softball 1975-1978 before being named the head coach in 1979 and has been in the athletic department ever since. LaRose now oversees the internal operations of all 19 UA varsity sports. “I’ve been really honored,” she said. “We started out with nothing, and now we’ve grown into one of the top programs in the country.” That colossal change wouldn’t have been possible without Mary Roby, who was Arizona’s first director of athletics for women in 1972, when men and women’s athletics were two separate entities. “Mary Roby set the foundation for all the success as our first (director of athletics) back in the ’70s,” LaRose said. Roby came into the Arizona athletic department with a plan for making UA women’s athletics thrive. She wanted to hire young coaches and let them build up their programs. Dave Rubio, the head coach of Arizona volleyball, was one of those coaches. “The thing that I’m most proud about, and admire and the thing that attracted me when I first got here was what a priority (Arizona) puts on women’s athletics,” Rubio said. “Not only do they talk it, but based on funding, scholarships, gym time, facilities and how they promote the sports, they not only talk a good
game, but they back it up.” That funding and the overall emphasis on the women’s athletic programs at UA is something the players should take note of, and Rubio is making sure that his players understand how fortunate they are. “They talked about the priorities of women’s athletics, and that went in one ear and out the other,” Rubio said. “Not until later on, after being here for several years, did I really give it much thought. Now, I pitch that to all of my student-athletes because it’s something we really want to promote.” Now that Arizona has gone through the initial phase of hiring young coaches to build up programs, the focus of the hiring process is going to change. “Now that we’ve sort of arrived, we can have a little different approach,” LaRose said. “Instead of hiring people to start these programs, we can now go after people to maintain them when the time comes.” Rubio is facing a different challenge with his involvement in women’s athletics. As a male, he has to be up to the task of being able to relate to the opposite sex, but he says that hasn’t been an issue, and it’s due to the communication he has with his players. “The aspects of coaching, I think for me it’s trying to get to know my players on a more personal basis and try to create a relationship where they can trust me,” he said. “I think once that happens, I’m able to push them harder without them feeling like it’s personal. “The great coaches like Mike Candrea and Dave Bush … if you put an obstacle in front of them, they’re going to find a way around it, and it’s probably going to be due to communication.” Even though Title IX is the biggest reason for the change in culture regarding women’s athletics, it has provided women athletes a platform to become role models. “There are a lot more role models of woman athletes out there now,” said Danielle Holloway, a libero on Arizona’s volleyball team. “I think that’s the biggest change.” LaRose and Holloway are on the same page when it comes to role models being essential to the growth in women’s athletics. “This next younger generation has seen women competing, so it’s nothing new or unique,” LaRose said. “Younger kids have seen and watched these athletes, and have role models to look to.” The government needed to intervene to get the ball rolling on the evolution of women in sports, but LaRose doesn’t see any reason that it would need to step in again. “I don’t think there’s any need for more legislation,” she said. “Just because of how the sports have grown at every level.”
LEATHERHEAdS continued from page B6 Helmets went from nonexistent to leather helmets, offering some sort of protection, although minimal, for players’ heads. But if the progression to leather helmets was a jump, the progression to fiberglass helmets was a leap. “The helmets are concussion-proof and have a cool facemask, visors, stuff they didn’t have,” Hall said. “Our cleats are so light, it feels like we don’t have shoes on. Our jerseys are so tight to us, people can’t grab us.” The emphasis on the changing game to make it safer for players has changed the way the equipment has been developed. The game progression to increased violence is a reflection of the development of equipment. “People are stronger, faster, so the hits are more violent. The equipment can’t keep up with the body itself getting bigger, faster, stronger,” Neal said. “I’m sure the equipment hasn’t been able to keep up with that.” The equipment has evolved due to the nature of the game. Because the
equipment has changed the way in which the game in played — and the game has become more dangerous — there has been a development toward preventing serious injuries. Keeping players healthy is a main focus of the obsession and analyzing of football equipment. With the amount of concussions, broken bones and injuries in general, the players have suffered, and the design of the protective gear has changed dramatically in the last 30 years. “Back in the day, you would deal with a broke nose, now we’re dealing with broke necks,” Neal said. “It’s changed a lot, but just in the last 10 years, there’s been a lot more technology geared toward concussions.” Protection is what’s changed the game, and coaches and players agree that the developments have been for the best. “Well I’m all for it. It must have been unbelievably brutal back in the day,” Brown said. “College football is going to be going on and keep on going, and we’re just going to be passing through.”

Funding New Frontiers
T
he University of Arizona Foundation celebrates and congratulates its 2009-2010 Grants and Awards recipients. Since 1986, the UA Foundation Grants and Awards Program – in partnership with the UA Office of the Vice President for Research, Graduate Studies, and Economic Development – has provided funding to faculty research and community projects within the University of Arizona. More than $200,000 was invested into selected projects last year and, to date, funding from the program has yielded a 15:1 return. We thank and honor the award recipients – past and present – who serve as pioneers of innovation, propelling the UA into new frontiers of excellence after 125 years.
“The UA Foundation Grants and Awards program is a great way to jump-start the careers of young faculty who need preliminary data to compete for larger grants. Great faculty make great universities, and seed funding such as this is important to the UA and Arizona since some of the research conducted by faculty have important spin-offs to society.” Eugene G.

UA’s excellent adventure … 1885: Arizona’s 13th Legislature approves $25,000 for Tucson to build Arizona’s first university while Phoenix is gifted $100,000 to construct the state insane asylum. Arizona State University was also chartered as Arizona’s “normal school” (teacher’s college) that year.
Nov. 27, 1886: Two professional gamblers, E.B. Gifford and Ben Parker, and a local saloon owner, W.S. Read, donate 40 acres of land for the construction of a university.
Oct. 27, 1887: Builders break ground for Old Main, the first building constructed for the new university.
Oct. 1, 1891: Thirty-two students apply to attend the UA as part of its inaugural freshman class, but only six are admitted, with the other 26 sent to preparatory schools. These first freshmen attended class at Old Main. Panorama of the UA, circa 1909
June 2, 1914: J.F. McKale is hired as the UA’s first athletic director.
1904: “The St. Patrick’s Day Strike” — After petitioning thenuniversity President Kendrick Babcock to recognize a full holiday on St. Patrick’s Day, many students refuse to attend classes and march downtown to enjoy the holiday they had been denied.
Feb. 14, 1912: Arizona becomes the 48th state.
Oct. 17, 1915: The freshman football team raises $9.91 to purchase the UA’s first mascot, a bobcat named “Rufus Arizona,” after UA President Rufus B. von KleinSmid. Rufus would later die after accidentally hanging himself while tied to a tree on April 17, 1916.
Nov. 6, 1914: Civil engineering student Albert H. Condron suggests to a professor that Sentinel Peak should be surveyed so that a large “A” could be placed on it as a show of school pride. The 70-foot wide and 160-foot long “A,” built entirely by students, was completed on March 4, 1916. Members of the incoming UA freshman class repaint the “A” to mark the beginning of each school year.
Nov. 7, 1914: After a 14-0 loss to football powerhouse Occidental College, Los Angeles Times correspondent Bill Henry writes that the UA football team “showed the fight of wildcats.” The wildcat would become the UA’s first sports mascot and remains so to this day.
Oct. 21, 1967: About 275 students march from Speedway and Country Club to Randolph Park to protest the Vietnam War. Students would later stage takeovers of Old Main and the campus ROTC office as other signs of dissent.
1895: Three students, two of them women, become the first UA graduates.
1900: Quintas J. Anderson, then the UA student athletics manager, is offered a set of solid blue jerseys with red trimming for a low price. The jerseys are greeted enthusiastically and prompt the school to change its colors from sage green and silver to red and blue. The UA’s current school colors are navy blue and cardinal red.
Thanksgiving Day, 1899: The UA competes in a football game against the Tempe Normal School (which later became ASU), beginning one of the longest-running collegiate rivalries in the United States. Tempe Normal School won this first clash 11-2.
Jan. 31, 1920: The Berger Memorial Fountain, donated by Alexander Berger and dedicated to his nephew Alexander Tindolph Berger, is dedicated in front of Old Main to honor UA students who perished in World War I.
East of Old Main, circa 1908
1959: UA roommates John Paquette and Dick Heller design the costume for “Wilbur Wildcat.” UA student Ed Stuckenhoff would become the first incarnation of the UA’s current mascot during that year’s Homecoming football game against Texas Tech University.
October 1926: John “Button” Salmon, UA student body president and football player, is critically injured in an automobile accident. During a visit with McKale, he reportedly asked McKale to “tell the team to bear down.” Salmon died on Oct. 18, 1926, and a year later the UA would paint the words “bear down” on top of the school’s gymnasium in his honor.
1952: Former UA band director Jack K. Lee writes the early lyrics for “Bear Down Arizona” after seeing the words inscribed on top of Bear Down Gymnasium from his airplane. The song was first played in September of that year and would later become accepted as the UA’s fight song.
February 1973: The McKale Center athletic arena opens. It is now the largest arena in the Pacific 10 Conference in terms of total capacity.
July 1946: Thanks in part to the efforts of UA alumnus Wilber L. Bill Bowers, the UA obtains one of the two original bells salvaged from the U.S.S. Arizona after it was sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The bell was hung in the Student Union Memorial Center clock tower and rung for the first time on Nov. 17, 1951. The bell was moved to its current location after the construction of the new Student Union Memorial Center on Aug. 16, 2002 and, on Sept. 11 of that year, Bowers became the first person to ring the bell in its new location.
Nov. 21, 1986: After almost 30 years as a confirmed bachelor, Wilbur Wildcat decides to settle down with Wilma. The two remain happily married (outside of occasional football game wardrobe malfunctions) to this day.
Feb. 17, 2003: After three years of construction, the Student Union Memorial Center is officially dedicated and opened.
Feb. 26, 2000: The McKale center floor court is renamed “Lute Olson Court.” It was renamed “Lute and Bobbi Olson Court” the next January in honor of Lute Olson’s late wife, Bobbi.
1929: Dugald Stanley Holsclaw, UA class of 1925, writes “Fight! Wildcats! Fight!” the UA’s first fight song.
September 1942: The UA’s Old Main is refurbished to become the wartime Naval Training School. The project was funded by a grant from the Navy and cost $89,000.
Feb. 22, 2010: The grand opening event for the 54,000-square-foot expansion and remodel of the UA Student Recreation Center is held. The Rec Center would later earn platinum certification from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for center’s achievement in sustainability.

Next verse, same as the first Remy Albillar
What will UA be like 125 years from now …
Arizona Daily Wildcat In the future, 125 years from now, this campus will be very much the same. Freshmen will still come fresh out of high school, high on independence and adrenaline, and make silly decisions pertaining to alcohol. Seniors will still look back, wondering how they would have done it differently from the beginning and stressing out over their next years. Tuition will still be too high, and financial aid will still be too low to meet everyone’s needs. The UA will
still be a business, after all. People probably won’t hate homosexuals or Mexican people anymore. It’ll go out of style. They’ll hate someone else. Maybe the Chinese, depending on how powerful they get in the next century; whoever can centralize the most personal vendettas into one identity, idea or people. Maybe it will be people who are part cyborg or something. Family Weekend and Homecoming will still be the only weekends when they water the
grass on the UA Mall. The residents of the Highland dorms will still probably smoke marijuana in the bowl at night, as part of some nightly burrito ritual. The walk across campus will feature a lot of the same sights, for better or for worse. “Letters from Mal” could probably be printed over and over again for the next 125 years, and it would still be as relevant as it is today. There might be jetpacks and laser shields, and Barack Obama may be regarded as one of the worst presidents the United States of America has ever had. Just saying. You never know. They might release the cure for AIDS by then. Who knows? Good luck with that, future society. — Remy Albillar is a senior majoring in English and creative writing.
Smart students, Greek Life vanishes, teleportation mark the future UAPD becomes all-powerful
Assuming the state of Arizona is not overrun by an illegal immigrant invasion or a massive Tea Party takeover, the core of UA will be unchanged, even 125 years from now. Ideally, in the next century, we’ll be using environmentally friendly cars that drive themselves (Google’s working on it), and the state’s budget will no longer be an unfunny joke (I hope someone’s working on it). Maybe someone will have figured out how to make the bike valet service successful. But otherwise, what matters most about UA — the students — will be the same. It sounds cheesy, and let’s be real. I don’t like all of you, and not all of you like me. We don’t agree on politics, and I want to push you over when you move too slowly on the sidewalk. But despite this, or maybe even

because of it, you matter. It might be a statement of the obvious, but everyone needs a little reminder: The most important thing about a university campus is and always will be its students and the diversity of their voices. Disagreement fuels discussion. Improvement does not occur as a result of the whole world getting along and everyone spewing hearts and rainbows. Even if we’re all using hovercrafts and substituting little pills for whole meals in 125 years, a variety of thoughts and ideas will continue to drive the university’s progress. It would also be really great if all that discussion would lead to teleportation. — Kristina Bui is a sophomore majoring in journalism and political science.
In 2010, the UA exists as a heavily Greek Life-dominated campus, which brings about the inevitable divide among incoming freshmen even before the school year officially begins. Young women participating in Greek Life already belong to a sorority by the time classes begin, and the ones who choose not to join the system already know there is something they are not part of. However, the positive and negative elements of the UA’s Greek Life are really irrelevant considering the hypersensitive University of Arizona Police Department. In 125 years, all remnants of sorority and fraternity activity will vanish, leaving only artifacts and debris of what once was a fratty, party-heavy, ponytail-bopping, letter-wearing-
dominated student body. But it is not only the letter-wearing fellows who will suffer. Funds for the UAPD only seem to be increasing, meaning that the police will become more and more restrictive. Breaking up house parties, frat parties and ticketing underage drinkers for a suspicious red cup have become nightly favorites for the UAPD. In 125 years, the number of officers hunting for underage drinkers and sucking the fun out of being a college student will become unbearable, thereby causing a revolution in which the campus will turn into an insane asylum and fulfill the proposition made for Tucson in 1885. — Alexandra Bortnik is a creative writing junior.

Sound reasoning for a crazy future
PERSPECTIVES
University life on Mars Brett Haupt ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Storm Byrd ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT In recognition of the 125th anniversary of the UA, here are some prophecies for the next 125 years: If the state continues to plummet and somehow ceases to exist in 125 years, the UA will still be here. Yes, it sounds odd; how can a public university like “Arizona� exist without the state? Basically, there are two rationales here: First, the UA is “too big to fail.� With the overall size of alumni and demand for a higher education, university education will find its funding either through students or by making trade-offs with outside investors for funding (see abortion practices and construction of Arizona Stadium). Second, the UA existed before the state of Arizona; therefore, should the state fail, the UA will take the “Texas� approach and assert that since it existed before it was a part of
the unified state, it has the authority to remove itself. The UA will have its first gay president This is almost a given. The gay movement is gaining such steam currently and should reach a certain momentum of achievement in the near future, which will result in universities across the county embracing gays in all facets, including administration. There will be another beautiful, hightech, yet unnecessary expansion to a university building. We’ve already had the Student Recreation Center, and judging from the current success of football (coupled with the future Pac-10 expansion) it’s likely the football stadium will get undergo a beautification process too.
space in the buildings is now dedicated to the latest research in various fields. Many large lecture halls still remain for the purposes of taking tests, which are still administered physically, for the most part. Sixth Street Parking Garage now doubles as a space port where weekly trips are launched to the Mars colony, pioneered with help from the UA. The university continues to expand and now has more than 100,000 undergraduates. And of course, the more things change, the more they stay the same; the UA football team, now in the Pac-36 Conference, still has not gone to the Rose Bowl ‌ only joking! — Brett Haupt is a journalism junior.

Wildcats will never forget to work hard, play harder Mallory Hawkins ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT There are some things that not even 125 years can change. Even a century from now, the UA will be comprised of good looking, intelligent people struggling to find a balance between working hard and partying harder. How the future generations achieve these goals, though, will put our academic and partying days to shame. Whereas we would like to think paying attention in class means copying down the slides between browsing the web and sending a text message, future Wildcats will have a much different approach. Rather than buying textbooks at the beginning of the semester, each student will make a one-time purchase of a laptop made especially for the university and its students. Not only will the laptop serve as an e-reader for required texts, but it will also be mandatory for taking notes in class. It will feature a double-sided screen that allows the professor to view each
Welcome to the future, ladies and gentlemen, or should I say robots and cyborgs? The year is 2135 and we, for the most part, are all dead. The UA, however, is not, but you’d be hard pressed to recognize the changes that have manifested themselves in the past 125 years. For one, the classroom has changed; no longer do students have to physically travel to class at a certain time of day. They simply sit down and pull projection caps over their heads from anywhere in the world and watch as their professors broadcast their lessons to all of the students. Most of the buildings on campus are upgraded, except for Old Main, which now looks archaic in comparison, and most of the
student’s display, which means no multitasking and more learning. As you can imagine, this will make for a strong work ethic, thus the need for a strong party ethic to balance it out. The university will realize that its attempts to stop underage drinking in the past only made for worse situations. As a result, the university will facilitate campus-wide parties that will allow for a safe environment and good time for all. Underage students will no longer have to put themselves in dangerous situations just to get a drink. With these changes, the reputation of the university will soar. Not only will it take over as the top university on the list of party schools (something which we pride ourselves on now) but it will also finally be recognized as a top learning institution.Who said you can’t have the best of both worlds?
Johnny McKay ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Welcome, everybody. Is everyone here? You on the hover-Segway in the back, could you stop doing that? I hope everyone made it here all right, especially those from different states. Ever since Arizona completely surrounded itself with a giant border fence in 2035, things have been a little bonkers for those out-of-state students. Seriously, let’s have a moment of silence for those who didn’t make it. Grand Marshall Joe’s floating tent city is a dreadful place. Enough sadness, though; welcome to the Universi-REC of Arizona, the world’s first university turned “Learning� Rec Center in America. It took a lot of funding and hard work, but we are all happy now, living in an enormous, 20-square-mile gym. Is anyone thirsty? Try the Eller Shakes — Adderall and Muscle Milk blended together, delicious! Look over to my right — it’s the school mascot. Some of you alumni might be a little confused, but a few years ago we decided to go with a more literal approach to our school’s furry symbol. Everyone wave
at Bear Down, the euthanized polar bear. He looks a little tired today. Now we’re at Bear Down Gymnasium, which is a little embarrassing. I have to sing the fight song for everyone. Thank God for surgically implanted autotuning at birth, right? Here goes: (Singing) “Baby, baby, baby, oh! Baby, baby, baby, Arizona!� That song was penned by our 25th dean of students, Justin Bieber. You can find his face superimposed on the wildcat statue by the Cactus Jungle (death count: 153 students and rising) on the UA Mall. And that concludes our tour. Feel free to check out other points of interest, like the School of Astrology, Chemistry, Physiology, Film, Media, Theater and Physics, merged together in 2011! You can find it nestled between that bench press machine and pile of protein powder. All hail the All-Spark Cube! Everyone else: “All Hail!� — Johnny McKay is a media arts senior.

Spirit will remain constant Higher admission standards, quality mark UA’s future
Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat When the UA opened its doors in 1891, 32 students were enrolled and the largest, and only, building on campus was Old Main. Today, the university is home to 38,057 students, an internationally acclaimed college of management and a stellar athletics program. One can only imagine what another 125 years will bring. The UA will become the one and only university in the state, incorporating both Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University. The athletics program, already one of the best in the nation, will be the envy of the world. Our basketball and football teams will become leading members of the Pacific 10 Conference. The university will undoubtedly continue
its record of academic excellence, beating out Harvard, Princeton and Yale in college rankings. More than 1,000 fields of study will be offered, some of which will include hovercraft technology and interplanetary exploration. Furthermore, exorbitant budget cuts of the past will be no more since the state’s Democratic Party will establish a permanent majority in Arizona’s Legislature. But what will never change is the university’s spirited student body. In 125 years, the sands of time will transform the university into an institution very different from what it is today, but UA’s school spirit will forever remain. — Nyles Kendall is a political science junior.
The future’s bright, wear shades Steven Kwan
Andrew Shepherd Arizona Daily Wildcat In 125 years, the UA will be a more prestigious, yet extremely overcrowded place. Due to significant population growth, the UA will be forced to raise admission standards and will finally become a selective institution. Most people in the future will get bachelor’s and master’s degrees from institutions that offer everything exclusively online, but the UA will continue the “elite, archaic” practice of going to class in person. Students will have to commute between several different campuses, including ones in the Foothills, the west side, Picacho Peak State Park, Nogales, Ariz. and Willcox. However, an extensive national network of high-speed rail and a citywide light rail system will make commuting between campuses a breeze. Even though UA will be much more selective, it will still have more than 200,000
students. The new 10-story student union will always be full of people and seating at the renovated Arizona Stadium will become a greatly fought-over commodity. Students will get around via moving sidewalks, pedestrian tunnels and indoor walkways, but will always be packed next to someone. Lastly, the Arizona Legislature of the future will finally understand the value of a collegiate education and will refuse to cut the budget of its state’s flagship university, making the quality of education rise substantially. One thing that is certain is that UA will be a much different place, just as UA of today is nothing like the tiny agricultural college it was 125 years ago. — Andrew Shepherd is a political science senior.
History is all in your mind
Arizona Daily Wildcat On your first day of walking around campus, you are bombarded by advertising aimed specifically at your demographic. In an effort to bring in additional funding, UA has leased different areas of campus to Bluetooth advertising. Older students have already hacked their eyewear and earpieces to block unwanted ads such as personality add-ons and drugs that supposedly enhance hand-eye coordination. The heads-up display software in your glasses — worn strictly for that retro look — lets you search for and filter information about classmates, friends, faculty, UA sites and lectures. Upon greeting someone new, you can download the person’s public profile. Depending on his or her privacy settings, you can also view infographics about the person’s psychological profile and genetic compatibility. You feel a tingling sensation on the back of your hand. You check and see that tomorrow’s lectures have been posted. You download them for your nightly REM preview session. An alarm light flashes on your hand: time for lunch.
As part of a campaign to save on shipping costs and to appeal to people’s cravings for the exotic, Native Seeds/SEARCH has been supplying the UA’s Dining Services with clones of local, copyrighted species that were once on the verge of extinction. UA entrepreneurial clubs market the products to different regions around the country, inspiring a new generation of locavores. Thanks to pioneering research developed at UA 50 years ago, everything in Tucson and on campus is wirelessly powered. Buildings are coated with paint that changes color with ambient temperature and can capture solar energy, which is then stored in battery cells throughout the city and campus. But the real reason you chose to go to UA was the free access to public and private spas after a long day of classes. The UA was the first school to combine solarheated water and water from computer cooling systems for campus bathrooms and spas. Schools in the Pac-20 were quick to license the technology to boost their own enrollment and retention rates. — Steven Kwan is a nutritional sciences senior.
Luke Money Arizona Daily Wildcat The UA was nothing more than sepiatoned students meeting in Old Main 125 years ago. One building constituted an entire campus that was viewed as a consolation prize for Tucson legislators at the time. Well, those bygone bookworms would weep if they saw what the UA would become in the next 125 years. In the year 2135, the Arizona Legislature will deem that, since all public education does is teach students to be individuals and divert from societal norms, the notion of having one institute to represent such a diverse student population is ridiculous. With the so-called “Box Bill” (sponsored by Sen. Russell Pearce III) the UA ceases to be a physical entity and becomes a metaphysical frame of mind, where everyone can go to
college if they want to and can graduate in a timely and cost-effective manner. The Legislature can then balance the budget by selling UA buildings to China and leasing them back over a period of 20 years. To pay for the cost of leasing the buildings, the Legislature will sublease them out to starving artists who, yes, still exist in the future. The Legislature will also consider using the same tactics in order to combat the state’s staggering poverty rates, falling home values and to prove the existence of unicorns. Oh, and Arizona State University will still suck at football, but you all already knew that. — Luke Money is assistant news editor of the Daily Wildcat.

Changing fashion a tell of times By Kristina Remy Arizona Daily Wildcat
1969
Coco Chanel once said, “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” For 125 years, students have trekked through the UA campus sporting everything from 1950s-style A-line dresses to Ugg boots with denim skirts. Any occasion is a good occasion to reflect on our past style and think about our future appearance. We have teased our ’80s hair, cut off our ’90s jeans, tied our timeless ties and even polished our classic leather oxfords … but to what extent does any of this matter? Fashion trends are a reflection of cultural thought. Our outward appearances are the first impression people encounter when they view us as a student body. It’s interesting to look around campus and think about what kind of social values and messages we are trying to assert through our clothing. Perhaps our current legging trend is indicative of our need for comfort or of our appreciation for physical fitness. Maybe we just miss the ’90s. Either way, when we get up in the morning as a student body we have the opportunity to display our pride in our school and intellectual pursuits. In a sense, we are all athletes of knowledge and should be in uniform for the game. These photos are you, Wildcats, and your photos are going to be added to the collection. What pictures of ours will resurface 125 years from now? Will they say the right things? Consider this your challenge.
