Hip-hop culture meets charity in Tucson The Africana Studies department and JRecognize host a hip-hop charity event, The Elements, bringing a new perspective on the popular culture Lior Attias This Saturday, JRecognize in association with the UA Africana Studies department will be putting on The Elements, an all-ages event celebrating hip-hop culture. The event benefits Youth On Their Own, a charity that supports homeless Greater Tucson teens and gives them the support they need to graduate high school. Since being founded in 1986, the organization has provided financial, social and emotional support to help over 15,000 homeless students stay in school through graduation.

The event will feature performances from local hip-hop artists, a cypher, dance crews, live artists, DJs and a rap battle. The entire event has been coordinated by one UA student, Jocelyn Valencia, a global studies senior.

“It’s pretty much just a personal project,” Valencia said. “It just felt like the right time to do it.”

Valencia, who owns the blog JRecognize, took a music internship last summer and decided to combine her love of hip-hop with a long-time desire to create a community event for a good cause. After being introduced to the Tucson hip-hop scene with help from Rob Base, a Tucson local well-versed in putting on community events, Valencia spoke to local artists to put the multifaceted event together.

“Everyone you see here on the flyer, they’re friends of mine now,” she said.

Valencia chose to support YOTO for the connection between youth and music.

“It seemed like the perfect fit because I really wanted to make this event focused on the youth,” she said. “From the beginning, hip-hop was for youth and overcoming struggle and giving them a place where they can express themselves freely.”

Valencia, who’s minoring in Africana studies with a concentration in hip-hop cultures, focused on the educational and cultural aspects of the music — as well as the music itself. The event will feature the five core elements of hip hop, “DJ-ing, MC-ing, breaking or B-Boying or B-Girling, graffiti writing and knowledge,” Valencia said. The event includes two DJs, two graffiti writers doing live art and two dance crews. Valencia has incorporated the knowledge aspect of hip-hop by having the Africana Studies department bring in an informational group.

The event will be hosted by hip-hop artist Swindoe, who said the event is “right up [his] alley.”

“I was very attracted to the idea of bringing

in the original element of hip-hop,” said artist Jaca Zulu, who will be participating in the freestyle cypher event. “It’s going to create a great connection between people.”

Zulu said that the event reflects the emergence and collaboration of the hiphop music scene in Tucson.

“There is definitely a part of hip-hop culture here that is building and becoming more open and more accepting of a lot people,” he said. “Everyone wants to do things individually to push the culture and that’s collectively pushing everything, so it’s a good time right now.”

Lando Chillrissian, a hip-hop artist who will also be performing, expressed his enthusiasm for the event as well.

“Being from Chicago, charity and giving back is extremely important to me,” he said. “It felt like a way that I could give back to Arizona, because Arizona’s given a lot to me.”

The event is not only a way to give to a good cause, but also for people to explore a new style of music they may not be familiar with. “[The event showcases the] new age hiphop movement in Tucson,” Chillrissian said. “We’ve been able to create a platform to be able to bring people who would not readily know what real hip-hop is and expose them to some of it.”

Chillrissian describes the direction of hip-hop as “taking the reactive and turning it proactive,” giving minorities, youth and people in general a chance to express themselves as a means for social change. What separates local hip-hop from the mainstream is the level of creative control artists have over their own music, Chillrissian said.

“Half these cats don’t even own their own music,” he said. “Whatever happened to one or two men or women as a collective sitting down and composing a car album?”

The event starts at 7 p.m. at Skrappy’s.

There is a $5 entry fee as well as a required in-kind donation of nonperishable food or personal hygiene items for YOTO teens.

“I really wanted to bring the hip-hop culture here in Tucson together here for one night,” Valencia said. “It’s obvious to go to have fun, but it’s definitely a place where you can network, get to know new people and get to know the culture.”

Women rule in ‘The Best Show Period’ improv Victoria Pereira

T

Storytelling, a group similar to FST but open to both men and women, have also been featured in the show.

Odyssey’s website describes the art of storytelling as “the newest addition to the spoken-word scene or a compelling form of personal communication as ancient as language itself.”

Along with the storytellers, a different local stand-up comedienne is featured at each performance.

There are a number of independent comediennes in Tucson and TIM wanted to strengthen its relationship with these women and give them a place to exhibit their talents.

“It brings people that aren’t in our company into our theatre to perform,” said Justin Lukasewicz, the owner and executive producer of TIM. Lukasewicz said that he is always looking for ways to connect to the rest of the comedy community around Tucson and at the UA and to make it stronger, and the collaborations over “The Best Show Period” are assisting in that endeavor.

The second half of the performance turns the show over to the Riveters, the TIM’s all-female long-form improvisation comedy troupe. The Riveters is made up of seven women from all around Tucson with varying backgrounds and experience in the comedic arts. Led by Peck, the group will be performing an improv routine based around stories from their lives.

For those unfamiliar with improv

ucson Improv Movement is celebrating female comedians in “The Best Show Period,” combining long-form improvisation, storytelling and stand-up comedy to create a show like no other.

Jessica Peck, the artistic director of “The Best Show Period” said she wanted to spotlight the women in TIM as well as independent Tucson comediennes to give the audience a taste of what the female side of comedy can do.

Each show is split into two parts.

The first half of the performance showcases a female storyteller and a comedienne, which vary each week. In order to put on the show, TIM has partnered up with various organizations that support women’s involvement in comedy and performing arts.

Female StoryTellers is a group that promotes female writers through a monthly competition in which contestants must write a story based on a particular theme or prompt.

Four stories are then chosen from the submissions and performed in front of an audience. The company strives to give female author/performers a place to exhibit their work, and several storytellers from FST have been featured in “The Best Show Period.”

comedy, it is a type of acting that requires thinking on your feet, adlibbing and finding things that will make an audience laugh. Although somewhat similar to theatrical acting in presentation, the preparation that goes into improv is completely different. Instead of memorizing lines and practicing deliverances of dialogue, improv comedians practice by doing exercises to sharpen the various skills they need to put on a good show.

The various troupes at TIM, including the Riveters, practice between one and a half to two hours per week. Depending on the style of the show it is preparing for, each troupe focuses on different skills when rehearsing.

Improv shows are almost always anchored in audience participation, and with a different audience each night, the comedians have to be ready for anything that could be thrown at them.

“The whole improv philosophy is this kind of ‘yes, and’ philosophy where you don’t negate anything,” said Peck, who first became involved with improv comedy during her time as a student at the UA. While taking an acting class to meet a general education requirement, Peck discovered that she really enjoyed the art of improv comedy. A little while later, a friend of hers suggested that they check out one of the classes on improv that TIM offers. After taking a few classes, Peck

and her friend tried out for one of the troupes and got in, and from then on they continued to be involved in classes and performances at TIM. “I really enjoy the intellectual challenge of coming up with funny stuff on the spot and getting to the game of the scene and having a blast with it,” Peck said.

“The Best Show Period” has its final showing Saturday at 9 p.m.

Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the box office at the TIM Company Theater on Fourth Avenue 30 minutes before the show starts.

Go across the pond for new music Caren Badtke WHAT’S NEW IN THE UK?

It seems nothing much is happening in the U.S. music scene right now. What better time is there than now to look across the pond and see what the British music scene has to offer in 2015? Here are seven new exciting bands and artists on the radars of music fans in the land of the Fab Four and the Rolling Stones, from heartwarming singer-songwriter pop, to soul, rock and electro-pop.

Royal Blood

What it sounds like: Garage-Glam Rock, or The White Stripes meet Muse.

Why it’s cool: The group won “Best New Band” and “Best Live Band” at this year’s NME awards, and it all began with Arctic Monkeys’ drummer Matt Helders wearing one of its band shirts to a festival gig.

Essential listening: “Out Of The Black”

Years & Years

guitars and “Malcolm in the Middle.”

Why it’s cool: The group recently won an NME award for “Best Lyric” for its Arcade Fire reference: “I’m wearing Win Butler’s hair/There’s a scalpless singer in a Montreal rock band somewhere.”

Essential listening: “Everything I Do Is All Right”

What it sounds like: Electro-Pop with a healthy dose of R&B, thanks to singer Olly Alexander’s top-notch vocals.

Why it’s cool: They were named “Sound of 2015” by the BBC in the beginning of the year, which is always a fairly right indicator as to who’s about to make it big. Past winners include Sam Smith (2014), Haim (2013) and Ellie Goulding (2010).

Essential listening: “Real”

James Bay

What it sounds like: Dramatic, bittersweet singer-songwriter pop like Ed Sheeran, Tom Odell and Paolo Nutini.

Why it’s cool: He opened for the Rolling Stones and stood second place in BBC’s “Sound of 2015”.

Essential listening: “Hold Back The River”

FKA Twigs

What it sounds like: Breathy artpop with R&B elements and sensual

lyrics.

Why it’s cool: Twigs is not only sparkly Robert Pattinson’s girlfriend — this woman blew away the audience when she performed “Two Weeks” at “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” last November.

“I’ve never seen anything like that before,” Fallon said after the performance. “Oh my god.”

Essential listening: “Pendulum”

melodious, catchy indie rock we love Britain for.

Why it’s cool: A lot of people know them because their song “Cocoon” is featured on soccer videogame FIFA 15. Surprisingly, they’re not from London, Brighton, Manchester or Sheffield, Britain’s music powers, but from North Wales.

Essential listening: “Pacifier”

Catfish and the Bottlemen

What it sounds like: The ’90s in America. Weezer, Pavement, trashy

What it sounds like: R&B and soul with a lot of personality.

Why it’s cool: Kwabs’ success story is like a movie. Born in Ghana, he was raised in the foster care system in the UK where his music teacher discovered his talent. He also was part of a reality TV show and later sang in front of Prince Harry. His song “Walk” became an international hit.

THE REEL DEAL

BY ALEX GUYTON

Smith and Robbie duo out of ‘Focus’ I

n one of the first scenes of “Focus,” pro con man Nicky (Will Smith) is teaching newbie Jess (Margot Robbie) some of the tricks of the trade.

With her hand in his, he slowly twirls her around in a faux dance, lifting up her watch at the end of a turn having successfully taken it without her having the slightest idea. Just as soon as she’s put the watch away after he’s given it back to her, he lifts up her ring, another prize for his imperceptible sleight of hand.

“At the end of the day, this is a game of focus,” Nicky instructs Jess. “The human brain is slow, and it cannot multitask.”

For the next half-minute, Nicky effortlessly runs circles around Jess, taking her keys and then her purse.

Unfortunately, the film is not this smooth, and unfortunately, the audience is not so slow and incapable of multitasking to not perceive the glaring, gaping flaws in this fly-by-night operation.

This film is not “The Prestige,” nor is it even “Now You See Me,” two very different, and more successful, films that mislead your attention in this direction, while they conjure up something in your blind spot.

“Focus” chooses to hide all of its parlor tricks off-screen, a cardinal sin of the genre.

Jess, who happens to be a natural at this racket, has been accepted on to Nicky’s team of elite pickpocketers for a massive haul of a weekend. They are in New Orleans for the Super Bowl, or whatever the knock-off Super Bowl was called because they couldn’t get the rights from the NFL. Nicky and Jess find themselves in a suite for the game and start making harmless bets. A drunk businessman with deep pockets, Liyuan (BD Wong), wants in on the fun. He keeps getting the best of Nicky, and Nicky, who has a gambling problem, isn’t about to let someone get the better of him. The bets escalate from $1,000 to $10,000, all the way up to a

scale-tipping sum of $2.2 million.

The scene is rife with potential. Nicky has placed all of the weekend’s earnings, money that belongs to all the hardworking members of his team of thieves. Jess desperately pleads with him to stop, while the businessman cheers him on through inebriated grins and giggles. It seems like the protagonist’s critical flaw will plunge him to rock bottom. It’s exhilarating.

Then, he wins the $2.2 million bet, which had Liyuan choosing a single football player’s number on the field, and then Jess having to pick the same exact number. Yes, the odds are ludicrous, but the reason behind how Jess was able to pick the same number as Liyuan is even more ridiculous.

As Nicky instructs Jess as well as the audience, he and his team had been subliminally conditioning Liyuan to the number 55 over the course of the weekend. The clues were not hiding in plain sight in front of the audience’s face; they were simply not there to be picked up on.

Halfway through the movie, at around the 50-minute mark, Nicky suddenly and unceremoniously says sayonara to Jess and their burgeoning romantic relationship. The sincere chemistry between Robbie and Smith provided one of the very few highlights.

The film then inexplicably jumps three years into the future and becomes a different story entirely.

Nicky is now in Buenos Aires, Argentina, positioning himself to help a rich racecar team owner beat an opposing team by providing misleading car schematics.

In another instance of the audience being told instead of shown, Nicky says that his gambling problem made him run out of money; again, this all happened off screen. The first half of the film is rendered virtually inconsequential by the second half. Talk about a split focus.

Everything culminates in a climax of explanatory revelations, with first Nicky telling Jess how he conned her, and then Jess telling Nicky how she conned him,

“We willingly reached into our pockets and gave up our own money for this cheap trick.”

KRAMER & SIGMAN FILMS

and then a crotchety old white man telling everybody that he conned them all and that he’s actually Nicky’s father.

However, it is the audience who was conned the worst. We didn’t even need to be bamboozled and pickpocketed; we willingly reached into our pockets and gave up our own money for this cheap trick.

Fluidity over fun in ‘The Order’ Torsten Ward

A

new console generation and consistent improvements to processing power and graphic capability have made games increasingly more cinematic. Since the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One released in late 2013, there’s really no excuse for developers to turn out games that aren’t at least a bit more visually stunning than last-generation titles. Heck, half the games that come out these days are just high-definition versions of popular titles from the good ’ol days. But what happens when a game transcends interactivity and becomes less of a game and more of a movie? Is that even possible? It is, and that movie’s name is “The Order: 1886.”

Ready at Dawn’s latest release is the studio’s first big step into the console world, having only really worked on PlayStation Portable titles since its inception in 2003. Sure, it tackled a Wii port of “Okami” in 2008 and made a PlayStation 3 compilation of its portable “God of War” games in 2011, but new IP

THE DAILY WILDCAT

for the PS4 is a whole different ball game.

And boy did Ready at Dawn step up to the plate. “The Order: 1886” is an ambitious title, and an admirable one at that, but certain aspects of the game fall short of the hype that surrounded it prior to its release on Feb. 20. Let’s delve into the nitty gritty.

The Story It’s a sad thing to watch potential go to waste and to see great ideas fail to come to fruition. “The Order: 1886”’s narrative campaign fits this bill and is certainly a diamond in the rough. Despite a typical and ultimately predictable story, some interesting concepts and the occasional surprise present themselves to players throughout the game’s relatively short campaign.

The story takes place in an alternate 19th century London where the industrial revolution was a bit more fruitful than it was in reality and where the Knights of the Round Table are still alive and well. In this case, “well” is defined as nearly immortal with inhuman healing capabilities thanks to King Arthur’s discovery of the infamous

Holy Grail. The Grail’s contents, now referred to as Blackwater, bind the secret order of knights together in a centuriesold war against the half-breeds, aka: werewolves.

I know what you’re thinking: Not another game about battling mythological beasts. It’s not even the first title in recent years about a steampunk Old England (see “Dishonored”). But hey, at least you aren’t fighting zombies.

The game’s opening scene depicts a late moment in the game’s overall narrative, effectively ruining one of the campaign’s bigger plot points. It seems as if Ready at Dawn took notes from its sister Sony studio Naughty Dog and tried to mimic the opening to “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves” with astoundingly mediocre results.

The overall lore behind “The Order: 1886” is sound and intriguing enough to keep players interested. However, despite several high concepts and a mystery story, you won’t find your next favorite narrative in “The Order: 1886.”

The Gameplay Ready at Dawn has dealt primarily with mobile gaming until now, so you might expect “The Order: 1886” to feel, I don’t know, wrong.

You would be incorrect. The third-person shooter gameplay feels surprising fluid and runs well on the RAD Engine 4.0. However, unless you’re quick-time events’ No. 1 fan, there’s not much else to be said about “The Order: 1886”’s gameplay that is necessarily positive.

Cutscenes and quicktime events plague the game from start to finish in quite a literal way. The occasional expository cinematic is welcome in any title, but “The Order: 1886” treats gameplay like HBO treats commercials: secondary to the show, or, in this case, the cutscenes.

Additionally, these scenes have horrendously easy but far too sporadic quicktime events sprinkled throughout. You’ll never feel safe setting down your controller for even a moment because the game will inevitably force you to do something monotonous like press triangle to whisper each number in a countdown to your in-game companion. No, I’m not kidding.

The parts of “The Order: 1886” that actually have you shooting the game’s imaginative arsenal of weapons are fun but repetitive. Wave after wave of goons come spouting from godknows-where, and it’s all too easy to pick them off with headshots, one-by-one. When the game allows you to be armed with something cool like the arc gun, “Falchion” auto rifle or the thermite gun, these waves can be enjoyable.

However, you’ll find yourself aiming for foreheads with crappy pistols a large majority of the time.

But what about fighting werewolves, you ask?

The Verdict Even if you hate cutscenes and quick-time events with a passion, you’ll only have to endure them for an afternoon or two, considering “The Order: 1886”’s campaign spans all of about six hours. If you really take your time looking at all the gorgeous scenery, reading the newspapers and listening to the phonograph recordings scattered throughout the game’s linear world, you might be able to stretch your game time to 10 hours or so, but that’s being generous.

Don’t even get me started on Ready at Dawn’s decision to include widescreen letterboxes above and below the screen during cutscenes and gameplay.

If they wanted the aspect ratio of a film, they should have made a film instead of ruining my field of vision everytime I had to crouch behind a wall in a coverbased shooter.

Despite all these negatives, “The Order: 1886” is truly a visual marvel and has noticeable production value that is second to none. If you love anything about the sound of steampunk England, The Knights of the Round Table or shooting werewolves with electric rifles, you should pick up this title. But keep in mind that when I say “pick up,” I really mean rent or borrow from a friend, because there’s no reason to pay $60 for a game this short in length with no online multiplayer, cooperative mode or replay value whatsoever.

Oh, but the game’s soundtrack is pretty awesome, so there’s that. Happy hunting!

“I can honestly only remember five werewolf encounters in the entire game about a society of knights who fight werewolves. Lame.”

‘Sunset Boulevard’ meets Speedway Catch The Loft Cinema’s Billy Wilder film series every Wednesday throughout March for four flicks that will take you back to the golden age of Hollywood cinema

F

Elise McClain

rom the late ’30s to the early ’60s, Billy Wilder ruled the silver screen. Claiming credit to nearly 60 films and six Academy Awards, he is recognized as one of Hollywood’s greatest successes. Over the course of his 50-plus year career, Wilder developed and honed his own incendiary arthouse style in the face of a commercialized Hollywood industry. The creator of nefarious noirs, ribald romances, cheery comedies and dysphoric dramas, Wilder’s works are often categorized as some of the movie industries’ most iconic classics.

The superlative Austrian-American director, writer and producer will again make his way to the silver screen this March, as The Loft Cinema holds its retrospective film series in homage to the late, great Wilder. According to Jeff Yanc, program director at The Loft, a Wilder series has been in the works for some time now.

“He’s been on our list for a long time,” Yanc said. “He was interesting for us in terms of doing a classics series. He was a commercially successful filmmaker in Hollywood in the ’40s and ’50s. However, he wasn’t classically commercial, as he had a real art sensibility. He had a really unique and interesting take on the Hollywood formula.”

Airing one Wilder flick every Wednesday in March, The Loft will kick off its signature series with “Double Indemnity,” building a subsequent Wilder repertoire following with “The Apartment,” “Ace in the Hole” and “Sunset Boulevard.”

“Because Wilder has so many huge films, we tried to pick some of the most iconic and best-known ones, but we also tried to avoid showing ones we’ve already shown,” Yanc said. “I think if you’ve never seen a Billy Wilder movie and you come to see any of these, you’ll be struck with how modern they feel. And even though all the movies we’re showing were made in the ’40s through the early ’60s, they all have a really contemporary feel about them.”

Immigrating to Hollywood in the mid-1930s, Wilder entered the film scene a Jewish immigrant with little understanding of the English language. However, this was not enough to keep Wilder from launching an enormously successful Hollywood career writing, directing and producing studio hit after studio hit. According to Peggy Johnson, executive director of The Loft, moviegoers would be remiss to overlook the Wilder film series.

“I think if people come to see these films, they will be very grateful to us,” Johnson said. “We want people coming and experiencing classic Billy Wilder — patrons and newcomers alike. They’re all such good films. And it’s one thing to see them at home on DVD, it’s a completely different experience to see them on the big screen. I hope people take advantage of it.”

The series, titled The Films of Billy Wilder, will premiere at 7 p.m. on March 4.

“People are excited,” Johnson said. “This is a great way for people who have never experienced Wilder to experience him.

We’re expecting this to be a really popular series. Billy Wilder is ageless, and there’s nothing like seeing the classics on the big screen.”

La Indita

The goal — to find a meal within two miles of campus costing less than $15. Join us each week for a new food find

L

Jessie Webster

a Indita is easy to miss. An understated front façade and slightly confusing entrance conceals a charming, familyrun restaurant whose menu abounds with traditional Mexican and regional Native American flavors.

Maria Garcia, a Tarascan Indian from the Mexican state of Michoacán, is the mastermind behind the menu and successfully blends the cultures while still making the food appeal to American palates.

The food relies on flavorful sauces to elevate its dishes beyond the typical quasi-Mexican fare — most notable of which was the green sauce, creamy and bright with tomatillo, smothering the chicken enchiladas. The red chile sauce had a bit of a kick, but, like the green, was smooth and multifaceted.

The biggest surprise was the roasted, shredded beef found in the taco combination.

The beef was stripped down to its natural flavors and allowed to simmer in its own juices, making for pure beefy goodness.

Another rarity was the beverage selection.

Not Coke, not Pepsi, but RC Cola graces the menu. This off-brand selection is an indication of the restaurant’s separation from the commercial.

The chips were fried in-house and the salsa made in-house. Though curtly delivered and in a small quantity, they set the tone for the rest of the meal — filling, fresh and dynamic.

The interior is certainly not modern, but if one chooses to see the antiquated charm of the restaurant, it adds to the experience. The dining room is filled with wooden booths and colorful murals. Weather permitting, the patio is a better choice. Ask a hostess if the patio is open and you will be led through a short but very narrow hall and out the back door. Another mural consumes the space, but it is the aroma of the small garden that makes the slightly slower outdoor service worth it.

The food was slow to come out but piping hot. Even the shell of the veggie tostada was still crispy under the pile of stewed and

sautéed vegetables when it was delivered and ultimately consumed. Two other vegetarian items that came with the veggie platter, the spinach Tarascan taco and eggplant enchilada, were also excellent. The taco featured a fry bread shell that was a soft, chewy vehicle for the creamy spinach and showcased the restaurant’s use of Native American foods and techniques.

The flavorful meal was affordable, even for students.

Three ate more than their fill for under $30. La Indita offers daily specials as well as a special menu posted and changed regularly near the main counter. Credit card diehards beware, though — the restaurant charges an extra dollar if one wishes to use plastic.

Overall, La Indita is a gem — a charming place to bring friends and family for a quality and inexpensive meal and to try something new.

CARTEL COFFEE LAB

Each week the Daily Wildcat rates Tucson’s coffee shops based on its hipster value on a scale of one to five hipsters. See how your favorite cafe stacks up in our hipster ranking

JESUS BARRERA/THE DAILY WILDCAT

PIMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE nursing majors Ian Macomber, left, and Jenny Nevins, right, study at Cartel Coffee Lab on Monday. Nevins and Macomber said they enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the coffee shop and its proximity to their house.

Jacquelyn Oesterblad

T

he barista on a recent weekday morning at Cartel Coffee Lab’s downtown Tucson location was kind of … nerdy looking. With his polo shirt and sneakers, he hardly fit the paradigm of tatted-up servers in cuffed khakis and asymmetrical haircuts.

That’s how hipster Cartel is — it doesn’t feel any need to prove itself. It’s just unassuming enough to convince you that its hipness is an accident.

The name suits the place. Cartel isn’t just a coffee shop where the average Joe goes for a cup of joe. It’s a coffee lab, for people who really like coffee and know the difference between a Colombian bean and an Ethiopian one and whether they’re best prepared with a Hario V60 or a Chemex.

If you’re not one of those people, just order an espresso.

It comes out with a short glass of sparkling water and is, in a word, delicious — much too citrusy to be diluted with sugar or a touch of milk, but much too tastey to require additions in the first place.

And besides, Cartel customers don’t drop that much money on coffee with the intention of drowning it in other flavors.

Cartel’s cheapest cup of black coffee

will put you out $2.50, and its fancier varieties can exceed $6. The coffee menu shifts with the seasons, and it has a decent rotating selection of teas and beers. Still, Cartel is a coffee paradise, and the other options are just the olive on the toothpick.

The finickiness with which Cartel approaches its beverages extends to the atmosphere too, which makes a better public workspace than a place for catching up with old friends. The interior is open and industrial but cozy, and the music is muted.

The Campbell Avenue location is generally more crowded, especially with the UA student crowd, while the Broadway Boulevard location services the so-called young professionals and those passing time before heading out to dinner downtown.

But whatever the age and situation of a given hipster, both of Tucson’s Cartels are a pretty great place to stop in, loosen the bow tie and enjoy Proust over a good pour-over.

If five hipsters walk into a coffee shop, are they really hipsters? After all, the fifth hipster never wants to be where the other four already are.

Cartel is only a four-hipster kind of place, but don’t let that fool you. It’s almost as hip as they come.

STUDENTS IN the School of Dance perform six dance numbers in a dress rehearsal of “Color Wheel” on Monday in the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre. The performances showcase several distinct styles of dance and will run through Sunday.

The School of Dance presents a kaleidoscope of different music and dance styles in its spring show “Color Wheel,” which runs through Sunday Madison Scavarda

T

he School of Dance ushers in the colorful and vibrant season of spring with its performance of “Color Wheel.”

The creative minds of the faculty at the School of Dance make “Color Wheel” a masterpiece. However, the performance elevated to a new level of prestige with its incorporation of George Balanchine’s “Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux.”

Before the performance started on Wednesday night, Melissa Lowe, director of the School of Dance, walked on stage with Edward Villella, a former New York City Ballet principal dancer. After dancing under the great Balanchine himself, Villella knows the complexities of the “Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux” from first-hand experience as the male lead. Villella came to the School of Dance to work with the students as they learned the choreography and inspire them to connect deeper with the movements. “[‘Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux’] is a delight to watch and a delight to dance,” Villella said.

As the show begins with Balanchine’s famous piece, Villella’s words transport audience members back to the 1960s when he first started performing the dance. Audience members can appreciate the enduring choreography and story as they see the young UA dancers imprint their generation onto the timeless steps.

From Diane Diamond’s precise footwork on pointe to Maxwell Foster’s soaring leaps, the couple that performed in Wednesday’s show honored the legacy of the “Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux” with their strong partnering, technique and performance.

Styles changed from ballet to jazz with “Distant Hearts,” choreographed by Michael Williams, a professor at the School of Dance.

“Interestingly, I tried

to be a dual personality,” Williams said. “I tried to be myself as a choreographer while I [wanted] to darkly imagine myself as Tim Burton, the movie director.”

The piece features three couples — all clad in black costumes with green, glow-in-thedark chest accents. The men and women danced in front of a screen projecting vibrant colors of light, and they constantly connected with and passed around three glittery spheres; the meaning of the spheres was left to the audience’s interpretation.

The costumes, visuals and movements established a futuristic atmosphere — focusing on love set somewhere far off in the galaxies. The piece juxtaposed animalistic and primal movements with futuristic ones and was performed by many powerhouse dancers.

Following “Distant Hearts” was Tamara Dyke-Compton’s piece “False Front.” “‘False Front’ has one female cast and one male cast,” said Dyke-Compton, an assistant professor at the School of Dance. “This piece explores the nature of an outsider and the masks they wear to blend in. I wanted to create a piece that had nongender specific movement and explore the variations that naturally occur between a male cast and a female cast.”

The Wednesday performance featured the male cast while other showings will feature the female cast.

The piece started out with a group of men — all wearing long satin skirts — in a close-knit block formation walking upstage. As the group moved almost flawlessly in sync with each other, one man would break apart and do a small solo. Each solo would only last a few seconds

but would show the dancer experiencing a reckless freedom with his body — as if he was being let out of a cage where he had been imprisoned for years. Overall, the male cast was breath-taking, and the symbolism of the piece was enlightening.

After intermission, Douglas Nielsen’s piece “If You Don’t Leave Me, I’ll Find Someone Who Will” took the stage. “[It] is a dance with 10 episodes about love — aspects of love that help express our human need [to] be needed, to make eye contact and most of all to trust someone enough to let them go,” said Nielsen, a professor at the School of Dance.

Nielsen’s piece, danced to songs on his iPod containing the word love, is wonderfully multi-faceted and offers indelible imagery portraying different stories of love. The dancers performed sign language to the lyrics of “All You Need is Love” by The Beatles which started and ended the piece; an American Sign Language interpreter accompanied Nielsen’s entire dance. Nielsen collaborated with Bill Dambrova, Arizona visual artist, to paint wooden boxes to be used in different capacities throughout the piece; in a pivotal moment in the dance, the boxes were used to build a ladder from which one of the female dancers fell into the arms of the other cast members.

“Con Spirito,” choreographed by James Clouser, ended the show with high spirits.

“It’s a really bright and vibrant ballet,” said Madison Kilby, a junior studying dance and biological anthropology . “It’s really fun to dance, and it’s an honor … because it’s been performed by so many professional ballet companies.”

“Color Wheel” is another engaging performance to add to the School of Dance’s collection, and certain to impart the vibrancy of its dances on the audience. The show runs until Sunday at the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre.

A cozy dining table looks out at a garden at the El Presidio Inn Bed & Breakfast on Feb. 6. The bed and breakfast has been in business for 27 years.

Cozy up in historic El Presidio Inn Anna Mae Ludlum

T

he bustle of North Church Avenue and the heat of the asphalt radiated along the narrow road of Main Avenue and outside Tucson’s historic El Presidio Inn Bed & Breakfast.

Enclosed within the high walls of the cobblestone courtyard, tranquility resides and the temperature seems to cool, drawing guests away from the hectic world and into the oasis of Patti Toci’s El Presidio Inn. “[I run] a 27-year-old business and some of my guests have been with me 20 years,” Toci said.

Toci and her former husband bought the inn with a desire to restore the centuryold home to the glory it once had when the district was known as “Snob Hollow.”

The inn was built as one of many simple straw-and-mud adobe homes around 1876 in the El Presidio district.

The Southern Pacific Railroad extension provided wealth to hire architects to design unique homes customized with

verandas and carriage houses.

Tucson’s distinct Victorian/Spanishstyle homes showcased the residents whom Toci called the “real movers and shakers” who “put together the needs we take for granted that didn’t exist then.”

The Snob Hollow residents used their money to create law and order separate from saloons, hospitals separate from barbershops and schools for the expanding community.

The splendor of the home faded as it passed through the hands of various owners who divided the home into rented apartments, adding a black asphalt parking lot where a massive fountain, lush garden and carefully laid cobblestone now sit.

Toci took charge of the 14-year restoration in which she used a jackhammer to chip away the asphalt, flew around the world to find furniture dating back to the 1700s and searched for bricks and material as old as the home to honor its legacy before opening the inn in 1985.

While visiting a rock quarry in Mexico, Toci wanted to purchase a fountain for her courtyard, but didn’t anticipate the

unexpected expense of interior Mexican transportation costing more than the fountain.

A trusted construction worker Toci hired enlisted Mexican produce truck drivers to transport the fountain piece by piece over the course of seven months.

Now the focal point of the courtyard, the sound of the trickling water splashing from the fountain on the cobblestone was well worth the wait for the added serenity.

The grueling process required great patience and intensified the South Carolina native’s pioneer spirit as her business savvy grew and she labored to build her business.

Tucson’s Preservation Lead Planner Jennifer Levstik said the historic district where the inn is situated represents an endangered piece of history that, if neglected, prevents the current community from telling its own story if the residents don’t know the stories that led them to where they are.

Inside her four-bedroom, six-bathroom home, each doorframe, Mexican tile and antique piece has stories that captivated historians and writers over the years.

The eleven dark pine wood beams above the narrow 34-by-11 zaguan room were found in Apache Indian territory and brought back by a friend of the tribe in the early 1900s. Dragged by mule through the desert, Toci promised there are scratches on the beams from the trek and the carved initials of the sojourner.

In one of two front parlors, Toci reached behind a drawer of a bureau and with an audible click, a hidden compartment was revealed. The concealed gem of the Victorian era was a single-shot trigger folding pistol small enough to fit inside a woman’s muff, illuminating an unpleasant, unspoken aspect of a golden age.

From the concealed antique pistol to pine wood floors salvaged from trees in the Santa Rita Mountains, the inn is brimming with historical exploits about which Toci is ready to tell.

New Dr. Seuss book discovered TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES — Another recently discovered manuscript is coming to summer reading lists, this time in the form of a new Dr. Seuss book.

The manuscript by the late author Theodor Geisel, known to readers as Dr. Seuss, is coming out in July — the same month as the release of a recently discovered novel by Harper Lee. Random House Children’s Books announced Wednesday that Geisel’s manuscript with illustrations, called “What Pet Should I Get?,” will be published on July 28. The publisher also plans for at least two more books from materials discovered in the late author’s La Jolla home in 2013.

A box filled with pages of text and sketches was found and set aside shortly after the author’s death in 1991 when his widow,

Audrey Geisel, was remodeling their home. It was rediscovered in fall 2013 by Audrey Geisel and the author’s secretary.

“While undeniably special, it is not surprising to me that we found this because Ted always worked on multiple projects and started new things all the time — he was constantly writing and drawing and coming up with ideas for new stories,” Audrey Geisel said in a statement.

“What Pet Should I Get?” was likely written somewhere between 1958 and 1962 because it features the same brother and sister who are in his “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish” book published in 1960, said Random House associate publishing director Cathy Goldsmith.

This year marks 25 years since the publication of Geisel’s previously thought to be final book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” Geisel wrote

WILDCAT WEEKEND • 15

and illustrated 45 books during his lifetime and his books have sold more than 650 million copies.

“To be able to share this newly discovered Dr. Seuss book that was created during a most prolific period in his career marks a special moment in children’s book publishing,” said Barbara Marcus, president and publisher of Random House Children’s Books.

Earlier this month came the surprising news that author Harper Lee’s second book, “Go Set a Watchman,” would be published in July by Harper, a division of HarperCollins.

Lee, now 88, hadn’t published another book since her renowned “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Harper said the original manuscript, considered to have been lost, was discovered by Lee’s lawyer, Tonja Carter, last fall.

Underwood in the White House “House of Cards” returns to Washington and computer monitors Friday. Beware — spoilers ahead for seasons one and two.

Ashwin Mehra It’s the end of the week, there’s no episode of “Scandal” and frankly, you just don’t know what to do with your life. Not to worry, though — Netflix has you covered with another season of “House of Cards.”

A Netflix original, “House of Cards” has won adulation unheard of for a show that doesn’t air on TV, and season three just released on Netflix on Friday. The onlineonly show has won multiple Golden Globe and Emmy awards over its last two seasons — not surprising for a show filled with drama, tension and political savvy unparalleled in the real world.

For the binge-watchers out there who prefer to watch a whole season in one sitting, though, it’s been a while since season two hit the Internet last February, and remembering what happened over 13 episodes can be quite hard after a whole year. It’s probably even harder for those who have never watched the show to remember the intricate details of Francis “Frank” Underwood’s scheme to elevate himself to the presidency, so here’s a quick catch-up of the last two seasons, which is probably better read in Kevin Spacey’s Southern accent.

Season one starts with Underwood (Spacey), a Democrat from South Carolina — proof the show is rather unrealistic — being passed over for the position of secretary of state. Frank is furious, especially since the new president, Garrett Walker (Michel Gill), wouldn’t be president if not for Frank’s help. Frank plays it cool, however, instead helping the new administration as House majority whip — or so it seems.

Instead, Frank sets in motion a

Media Rights Capital

dangerous game. He manipulates intrepid Washington reporter Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) and alcoholic Rep. Peter Russo (Corey Stoll) into undermining his rivals and convincing the vice president to resign. The season ends with Frank killing Russo and accepting the vice presidency.

Meanwhile, Frank’s wife, Claire (Robin Wright), runs the Clean Water Initiative, a NGO dedicated to providing clean water to poverty-ridden areas around the world. Claire’s arc in season one is limited, meaning to establish her as being as ruthless as her conniving husband. She convinces her manager to fire half the CWI staff, only to fire the manager as well.

In season two, Claire moves into a position of power as the second lady, getting close to the first lady and spearheading a bill on sexual assault in the military after seeing that her own rapist has become a

general in the U.S. Army.

Frank starts season two by killing off Barnes and spends most of the rest of the season dealing with a subplot involving the Chinese and a friend of the president, business magnate Raymond Tusk (Gerald McRaney). Barnes’ friend and ex, Lucas Goodwin (Sebastian Arcelus), attempts to investigate her death with the help of hacker Gavin Orsay (Jimmi Simpson), only to find himself imprisoned.

Meanwhile, Frank’s chief of staff, D o u g l a s “ D o u g ” S t a m p e r (Michael K e l l y ) , becomes practically obsessed with a young prostitute, Rachel Posner ( R a c h e l Brosnahan) who used to know Russo. Posner ends up potentially killing Stamper at the end of the season.

Season two closes with Frank and Claire’s schemes coming to fruition, as they engineer a scandal surrounding Walker. The

“Netflix has you covered with a new season of ‘House of ‘Cards.’”

president ends up mistrusting the Underwoods, as he should, but Claire convinces Frank to offer to fall on his sword for Walker.

Walker, foolishly, has a change of heart, deciding to trust Frank and resigning the presidency. The end of season two sees Frank and Claire — who drops her sexual assault bill to help her husband’s political career — take over as the head of the nation.

Looking forward to season three, there’s probably going to be more intrigue and political drama and a bit less scheming now that Frank is finally at the top. The season leaked early on Netflix a few weeks ago, and the plot synopses indicate that the show will revolve around the U.N., Russia and foreign policy concerns.

That probably doesn’t mean boredom, however, since “House of Cards’” politics tend to be far more dramatic and interesting than watching C-SPAN. There are also some loose ends to tie up from the past — it’s still unclear if Stamper is alive and what Orsay plans to do about the new president, on whom he now possesses some rather incriminating information.

Meanwhile, expect a subplot about

Claire as well, who definitely won’t be content to abandon her own projects for her husband.

Hopefully, “House of Cards” will manage to keep the drama that made it a hit show despite the fact that the main premise has seemingly been wrapped up.

Claire especially deserves to be more of a major player in the game, as her plots tend to be sidelined a bit in favor of Frank. Also, it’s not too unreasonable to expect the show to have at least one episode partially centered around Frank’s bisexuality, since both of the prior seasons have had one. After all, it’s part of what made the show so groundbreaking — the main character being non-heterosexual without his sexuality being the focal point of his character.

So order your Chipotle to go and cancel all those pesky plans with real people — the Underwoods are back in town and at the top of the food chain. In the words of Frank Underwood, “and the butchery begins.”

Wildcats rout Buffaloes 82-54 on road BY james kelley

The Daily Wildcat

udging by the numerous photos of snow that the Arizona men’s basketball travel party posted, Boulder, Colo., was pretty cold on Thursday, but the Wildcats were red hot.

No. 7 Arizona (25-3, 13-2 Pac-12 Conference) pounded Colorado 82-54 on the road to win its fifth game in a row.

The Wildcats are heading into their matchup at No. 13 Utah (7 p.m. Saturday on ESPN) on a roll.

Yes, on its own a 28-point road win is impressive, but the circumstances make it a very good omen.

After the Wildcats lost to UNLV, Oregon State and ASU on the road, the Colorado game looked like the very definition of a trap game.

The Wildcats obviously overlooked the Rebels, Beavers and even Sun Devils, and after they admitted they did the same last Saturday in their 57-47 win over UCLA, the Buffaloes looked like a tough out.

Colorado’s (12-15, 5-10) record is hideous, but most of those losses came while it was missing two of its big three: forward Josh Scott and guard Xavier Johnson. Plus, the Buffaloes were 10-4 this year at the Coors Events Center and 70-13 at home under coach Tad Boyle.

When it’s at full strength, Colorado is much more talented than UNLV, Oregon State and ASU, and with the de facto Pac-12 championship game looming on Saturday, it looked like the Wildcats would look ahead again.

Instead, the Wildcats crushed Colorado, never trailing. Ten Wildcats scored, 11 played and five scored in double figures. The rout was so devastating that the official stats even accidentally said the redshirting Kadeem Allen and the ineligible transfer Ryan Anderson played.

The huge issue with the UCLA win — other than it being by just 10 against a team that only played eight players despite three fouling out — is that the Wildcat starters played like bench warmers.

Arizona’s starters only scored 30 points.

Forward Stanley Johnson was 1-for-9 from the field, Brandon Ashley was 2-for-10 from the field and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was 1-for-6 from the field.

Luckily, the bench saved the day, led by guard Gabe York (13 points) and center Dusan Ristic (12 points).

At Colorado, the starters bounced back in a big way, scoring 57 points.

However, York continued to shine, scoring 14 points on 4-for-6 field goal shooting, and making both his free throws. Hitting almost every shot is obviously ideal for any player, but for a sixth man, it could make the Wildcats lethal in March.

While York was the star of the first half, scoring 11 points, Stanley Johnson was the

player of the second period. The freshman scored 11 points, for a total of 15.

Johnson hadn’t scored more than 13 in the last three games. With him scoring, the Wildcats are tough to stop.

Finally, center Kaleb Tarczewski continued his re-emergence. After an embarrassing outing in the loss to ASU, after which even coach Sean Miller called him out, Zeus has been on a roll.

Tarczewski scored eight, 17 and then 15 points in the games following the Sun Devil shocker, where he scored two. However, like the other starters, Tarczewski hardly showed up

against UCLA, scoring five points.

Tarczewski rebounded on his 22nd birthday at Colorado, to score 14 points on 6-for-8 shooting and grabbed three offensive rebounds.

Zeus is playing his best ball of the season, and the Wildcats likely need him in Saturday’s clash of the titans.

Top-10 caliber Utah is no doubt eager to get revenge for Arizona’s 18-point win in Tucson.

The Utes pounded ASU on Thursday, making sure the titanic matchup didn’t lack any luster.

Baseball heads to Mississippi for four games

BY James Kelley The Daily Wildcat

A

rizona baseball hits the road for the first time this season, traveling into SEC country for four games in hostile weather, including a pair of games with an undefeated national power.

The Wildcats (8-2) play in a round robin tournament at No. 13 Mississippi State this weekend, with a pair of games against MSU and two versus Samford.

Arizona senior catcher Riley Moore said playing an SEC team reminds him of his freshman season when the team played at Auburn.

“That Friday night, [coach Andy Lopez] came in and talked about how he coached in the SEC,” Moore said, “How everything is glitz and glam, and they’ll come with eye black for a night game and the wrist tape and everything will be pretty, but just to grind the heck out of them and beat the heck out of them, and watch in the second inning, they’ll wilt away.”

Friday, the Wildcats face Samford at 11 a.m.

MST and then Mississippi at 3 p.m. MST on the SEC Network+, a digital-only channel through

WatchESPN. Then on Saturday, the Wildcats will play the Bulldogs at 10 a.m. MST on the SEC Network before facing Samford on Sunday at 11 a.m. MST. “We’ll see how we travel; we’ll see how tough we are on the road,” Lopez said. “We’ll see what it’s like instead of hearing the ‘U of A’ chant, hearing cowbells for a weekend.”

Mississippi State (9-0) is undefeated, but its wins have come against Cincinnati, Miami of Ohio, Mississippi Valley State, Marshall and Alabama A&M. MSU hasn’t announced its starters other than Preston Brown (2-0, 2.45 ERA), who will take the mound against Arizona on Friday.

“I’m pumped,” Arizona second baseman Scott Kingery said. “It’s just like Rice coming in last weekend; we got a tough opponent, we got Mississippi State. We’re going to see some good pitching, and hopefully we can battle and compete like we did against Rice and walk away with some wins.”

Lopez said Arizona’s starting pitchers will be Tyger Talley (1-0, 4.22 ERA) Friday against Samford, Austin Schnabel (1-1, 7.71 ERA) against

Mississippi State on Friday and Robby Medel (10, 1.46 ERA) and Xavier Borde (2-0, 0.00 ERA) on Sunday.

Samford’s probable starters against Arizona are Alex Ledford (1-1, 3.60 ERA) on Friday and Cole Limbaugh (0-1, 16.50 ERA) on Sunday.

Samford (3-4) is on a two-game losing skid after losing at Troy on Tuesday. SU lost a series to Radford at home and won one against Austin Peay, also at home.

The high in Starkville, Miss., will be 39 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday and then the highs will be in the 50s on Saturday and Sunday.

UA athletic director Greg Byrne, who held the same job at Mississippi State, tweeted an offer to move the game to Tucson with a laughing emoji and a photo of MSU’s field covered in snow from Wednesday.

“It’s cold,” Moore said. “It’ll be cold for us, and it’ll be cold for them. Whatever we deal with, they deal with as well. It’s no big deal; you go out and play baseball.”

Softball hosts Wildcat Invitational

BY Roberto Payne The Daily Wildcat

I

t’s often the case that a team learns more about itself on the road than at home. The lack of fan support and friendly confines leads teammates and coaches to spend long hours together. For the No. 15 ranked Arizona softball team, that was the case last weekend at the Mary Nutter Classic in Palm Springs, Calif.

“We compete and we battle till the very end, and I think we saw that in all the games [last] weekend,” Arizona shortstop Kellie Fox said.

“We gave it our all … till the very last pitch, the very last out. So I was really proud of my team for sticking through it.”

The Wildcats went 2-3 over the five games at the classic to drop to No. 15 overall in the nation and to 11-3 on the season. However, the Wildcats have a chance to bounce back this weekend with a relatively weak schedule of games.

Arizona hosts Colorado State, UTEP, UC Riverside, Texas-Arlington and Bryant (twice) in this season’s Wildcat Invitational.

The last time Arizona hosted six opponents over a weekend came just a few weeks ago in the Hillenbrand Invitational. The team went 6-0 during that stretch and is hoping to do the same this weekend.

“We’re going to go out there, give it our best, fight, compete and just play hard.” Arizona outfielder/pitcher Trish Parks said.

The Wildcat Invitational has been extremely

kind to Arizona over the years, as the team has gone 89-3 all-time in the event — not to mention the Wildcats haven’t lost in the event since 2008 against Creighton.

As Arizona softball coach Mike Candrea looks to continue that legacy, he has a deep and versatile offense on the field. Nine of the regular rotation players have batting averages above

.300, and one who doesn’t, catcher Chelsea Goodacre, just happens to be hitting .268 and leads the team in RBIs with 22.

Outfielder Eva Watson leads the team with a .517 batting average, and fellow outfielder Katiyana Mauga leads the team with five home runs. Six different Wildcats have hit home runs this year.

As the field looks to combat Arizona this weekend, that offense paired with a, so far, reliable pitching staff has the team feeling confident.

“I have faith in my defense, and they have faith in me,” Arizona pitcher Michelle Floyd said. “They have faith in the whole pitching staff.”

One interesting fun fact about the weekend is the return of former UA softball player and current Texas-Arlington coach Kristie Fox. In addition to being a former Wildcat, she also happens to be Kellie Fox’s sister.

This marks the second-consecutive year the Fox sisters will meet at Hillenbrand Stadium — only this year is the first time they should actually face off. Last season’s scheduled game was rained out and robbed the crowd of seeing the sisters’ teams go head to head.

This year, weather.com forecasts partly cloudy skies with a high of 71 degrees Fahrenheit and some wind. In other words, perfect weather to play softball.

“We weren’t our absolute best [last] weekend, but we did a ton of great things,” Floyd said. “I think it’s just taking everything from this past weekend and making it even better this upcoming weekend. No matter who we’re playing, we have to come out the same.

We have to come out strong.”

Women’s basketball ends regular season

BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat

A

rizona women’s basketball concludes its regular season this weekend when it hosts Colorado and Utah in McKale Center. The Wildcats enter the final two games sitting in last place in the Pac-12 Conference with a 2-14 league record and have lost their last three games by an average margin of 25 points.

“We’re just bad all around right now,” Arizona point guard Candice Warthen said. “It’s offense and defense.”

Arizona will get its first crack to turn things around on Friday as the Wildcats take on Colorado at 6 p.m.

When the two schools matched up at the beginning of the month in Boulder, Colo., the UA kept things competitive until the final

stretch, where it fell apart.

“It was a five-point game with less than two minutes, but we just could not get stops and we could not keep them off the offensive boards,” Arizona women’s basketball coach Niya Butts said. “They got way too many transitions points on us.

We scored [69] points that night, which is usually enough to win, but you have to get stops when you need it.”

Rebounding has been a constant struggle for the Wildcats in conference play, as the team faces a -7.5 margin on the glass.

For Arizona to alter that trend, it will require greater effort from players to go after loose balls. In the last three losses, no Wildcat has recorded more than six boards in a single game.

On Sunday, Arizona wraps up the regular season with a 3 p.m.

matchup against Utah. Before the game, the program will honor seniors Warthen and Alli Gloyd.

The Wildcats will need the presence of their two seniors to beat Utah, which, despite sitting in 11th place in the conference, defeated Arizona single-handedly in Salt Lake City.

In a 14-point defeat, the UA failed to slow down the Utes, allowing four of their five starters to reach double-digits.

“Against Utah, we had a great start but didn’t do enough to maintain that start we had,” Butts said. “We have to be a little more physical with them inside and we have to slow down their guards.”

To win either game, Arizona will also have to shoot the ball much better than it has of late.

According to Butts, the team spent much of practice this week dedicated to shooting in order to

regain a feel for the net.

With the Pac-12 Tournament less than a week away, there shouldn’t be a lack of urgency from a team that is currently in line to take the bottom No. 12 seed. If the Wildcats sweep the home-stand, they could jump Utah to No. 11 in the conference.

“We feel it will be to our advantage to have our last games at home in front of our fans and those people who support and love us,” Butts said. “We want to try to do the very best we can one game at a time to make things happen, and obviously that will give us momentum going into Seattle.”

Flores has been UA’s ‘backbone’ Arizona gymnast Allie Flores has anchored the Wildcats throughout her four years

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

W

hen you think about the Arizona gymnastics program over the past few years, the first name that comes to mind is Allie Flores.

Ever since she walked onto campus, she has brought with her a strong work ethic and has come quite a long way since her freshman campaign. With just two meets left in McKale Center during her NCAA collegiate gymnastics career, all 42 total meets she has competed in as a Wildcat seem to have blended together.

“I’m not really sure how it feels yet,” Flores said. “I don’t think it has really hit me fully. I can’t really focus on that. I just tell myself it’s another meet and [don’t] let my emotions get in the way of competing.”

Throughout her career, Flores has learned the true meaning of the word clutch. In many meets over the past three seasons, she has anchored her team in almost every event.

“She’s been such a workhorse,” said Arizona gymnastics coach Bill Ryden. “She has worked her way to being truly the competitive backbone of the team. People look to her if the team is in trouble; she will get them out of there.”

Ryden has been Arizona’s coach for 17 years now and said it’s rare for an athlete to come into a program and be the backbone that Flores has become.

“I’ve been blessed to coach a number of those type of athletes, but they are not all that common,” Ryden said. “If you have one on a team, you’re lucky. She certainly is toward the top of the list of people I have coached with that competitive drive and spirit.”

However, Flores brings more to the team than just outstanding routines on the court. She remains the senior captain and has been the face of the program for some time now.

“I’m honestly really blessed,” Flores said. “I work really hard and have always had goals for myself. The coaches have helped me accomplish my goals, and my teammates have helped me accomplish my goals too.”

After she finishes her undergraduate degree, Flores hopes to earn her master’s in nursing and plans to stay as involved as she can in the Arizona gymnastics program.

“Honestly, time flew by,” Flores said. “I couldn’t imagine competing for another program. Our program has grown so much in four years, and there have been so many changes, and I’m happy to be a part of that. It will always be a part of me.”

Flores has invested countless hours working both on and off the court for the program and said she will take away many skills that she has learned from her collegiate experience.

“I’ve definitely grown as a person,” Flores said. “Being on a team really prepared me for the future, because you are not going to like everyone you work with, but at the same time you are going to have to be with them. This team right now is the best team I’ve been on so far, and it’s taught me that all the lows are worth the highs.”

In just a few short weeks, the senior from Addison, Ill., will be running out of the tunnel onto the McKale Center floor for the final time to compete against Denver.

“Someone recently told me, ‘It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,’” Flores said. “I really have been keeping that in mind this year, because I know I’ve had my ups and downs throughout my career.

I just really want to finish on a high note — so it really is how you finish.”

Sand volleyball holds Red-Blue Scrimmage

BY Jordyn Owen

The Daily Wildcat

A

rizona sand volleyball kicks off its season on Saturday with its annual Red-Blue Scrimmage.

The sand volleyball program is in its second year at Arizona and is hoping to improve on its 8-12 team record from last season, as well as to seek redemption from its 5-0 losses against Hawaii and Pepperdine last season.

Sophomore McKenna Witt said that the new team has one short and simple goal this year.

“We want to improve our record,” McKenna said. “That’s the goal.”

Arizona sand volleyball coach Steve Walker said this feels like the first season for sand volleyball, since the team finally has a nearly full roster of athletes dedicated solely to the sport.

“Last year, we had to fold in so many of the indoor players, multisport athletes, to fill out the roster,” Walker said. “They did a terrific job for us, but this year we are able to have 10 players dedicated only to sand, whereas last year we only had four.”

Walker said he welcomes this adjustment to the team and looks to continue building on it as the season progresses.

He added that this year’s schedule should help the Wildcats improve their record.

Last year, the team started out 5-0 with two straight weeks of home games and then spent five weeks on the road, where its record began to fall. The Wildcats ended that stretch with a 7-11 record.

“This year, we’re able to space out our home events a little better,” Walker said. “I think the scheduling will lend a hand to

hopefully a better season this year.”

Sisters and partners Madison and McKenna Witt had a remarkable season last year, and each ended the season with personal records of 13-15. They said they’re looking forward to the Red-Blue Scrimmage in order to show the UA community what sand volleyball has to offer this year.

“We are focusing on making the reps count and having a good showing for the community,” Madison Witt said.

Behind the scenes, the team is striving to build a close-knit atmosphere with all of the new players.

“We’re working on team chemistry,” Madison Witt said. “We have, like, seven seniors this year and a couple fifth years, so [we are] just trying to gel as a team and keep up the traditions of last year.”

Walker said he is expecting a big crowd this weekend to help the Wildcats ring in the new season.

“I hope to get at least a couple hundred out,” Walker said. “It should be a fun and busy weekend. With softball and gymnastics starting right after us, we hope that the best fan base in the conference wants to come out and see the first look at the 2015 sand Wildcats.”

The scrimmage will be held at the UA sand volleyball courts at Jimenez Field. The facility does not have bleachers, so it is recommended that fans bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on.

The match starts at 2 p.m.
