What does Homecoming mean, and what’s the point? Well, for current students, Homecoming is mostly a time to have fun. Situated after midterms and before Thanksgiving break, it’s the perfect excuse to party, enjoy the Universitysponsored activities, cheer on the football team (they need it!) and maybe have your parents buy your groceries if they come to campus. For alumni, it’s a little different. In fact, homecomings are designed for alumni — the whole point is for past members of an organization to return and celebrate that organization. For University of Arizona alumni, whether they graduated last year or 50 years ago, this week is a chance to come home to the campus that helped shaped them into who they are today. Perhaps they’ll visit old professors, wander campus and reminisce about the shenanigans they used to get up to or just spend some time chatting with the friends and fellow alumni who have also come home. However they chose to do it, they will spend the weekend remembering, and that’s what Homecoming is really all about. It’s about remembering the good times and bad, remembering the years and the laughs, smiles and tears in that time, and reaffirming your roots in Tucson and at the UA. So for current students, maybe take the time to talk with the alumni that are flooding campus right now. Ask them what year they graduated, what school was like for them at the time. Did they have a floor full of computers in the library? Who was the toughest professor? Which dorm did they live in? Ask them about what they did for Homecoming while they were a student here. You’ll find that these alumni will be more than willing to share the stories that are likely embedded deep into who they are. In fact, they’ll probably love passing the stories on to a new generation of Wildcats. We are a community with deep ties to the campus and the city, which is what our huge Homecoming
celebration highlights. Here at the Daily Wildcat, Homecoming also reminds us of the long history and legacy of our campus newspaper. For nearly 120 years, the Daily Wildcat has been here to document the university’s evolution and to record history. For this edition, we sifted through homecoming articles and photos from 1968 and relived some of that history. So when you current students graduate, take the time to come back for Homecoming, at least once. You’ll find it a very different event than what you experienced as a student. The partying will still be there, maybe in different forms, but you might notice a deeper nostalgia, a connection with other alumni. It’s more poignant than the connections you may have felt with other current students just because you’re students. That’s the feeling of roots. It’s the feeling of community bonds that reach deep down into each of us and then out to the world. There are a lot of UA graduates out there, and the Wildcat web reaches further than you might realize, but during Homecoming, you can almost feel it. We’re all here on campus because we’re Wildcats. We went though this school and came out the other side smarter, wiser, or maybe just more tired, but we all did it. Attending Homecoming is one of the best ways to remember where you came from, and maybe revitalize some dreams of where you want to go. Bear Down, Wildcats new and old, and happy Homecoming.

This year he raised money for the reunion class gift with other members, over half a million dollars. “I just want to give back,” he said. He recommended that students to keep in touch with the university after graduation because they “need your help.”

University of Arizona Homecoming allows new and old Wildcats to celebrate and take part in the various traditions that UA has come to hold. These traditions are told to incoming students and UA visitors taking a tour of the campus with Arizona Ambassadors, a team of student tour guides who work to introduce the UA campus to visitors and teach them the important history and traditions of the university, one of which is the phrase “Bear Down.” This phrase, as told by the ambassadors, comes from a fallen football player by the name of John Byrd “Button” Salmon who was, in 1926, a recently elected student body president and, most notably, the varsity quarterback on the UA football team. As Salmon and a group of friends were driving back to Tucson after a win over a freshman team in an annual matchup, he was critically injured in a car accident near
Florence, Ariz. Salmon died on Oct. 18, 1926. A memorial for Salmon was held on campus that week, with students and faculty coming to mourn the loss of the young athlete. The UA football coach of the 1926 team, coach J.F. “Pop” McKale, had visited Salmon in his last days in the hospital. He heard the last words Salmon had to say to his team. “Tell them … tell the team to Bear Down.” That piece of history stayed with the university, and to this day, the phrase is said on a day-to-day basis, according to Melinda Burke, the Alumni Association president. Students, faculty and alumni that attend the UA now or who have come back recognize the phrase, and it brings a sense of pride. “Bear Down has come to represent more than just a rallying cry for the football games,” Burke said. “Bear Down means do your best, it might be hard, but when it really gets hard, that’s when you’re going to prove

you’re a Wildcat.” Another tradition has to do with anyone who is enrolled as a student or who graduated from UA. They are a “Wildcat for Life.” What it means to be a Wildcat for Life is to always carry the pride of being a UA Wildcat with you everywhere you go and to take the school’s pride and show it off, according to Burke. “It’s a way we share that identity [with] people all around the world. Saying ‘Bear Down’ is an instant way to connect with someone you don’t know, if they’re a Wildcat.” Burke said. Any student who is currently
enrolled at the UA is already a Wildcat for Life, according to Burke. Alumni visiting campus for homecoming weekend will bring meaning to both of those phrases, “Bear Down” and “Wildcat for Life,” Burke said. UA Homecoming is Oct. 21 through Oct. 27, and it kicked off with the lighting of “A” Mountain on Oct. 21. Other Homecoming activities include the Homecoming Parade and the football game, finishing off the weekend with a bonfire and crowning of Homecoming royalty Oct. 27.

‘Strength of UA traditions’ reunites Wildcats BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11
Homecoming is a time for University of Arizona alumni to come back and visit their alma mater. For brothers Ian and Connor Barton, Homecoming is an opportunity to reunite. Ian Barton, a recent UA grad who is currently pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Notre Dame, is coming back to Tucson to enjoy UA Homecoming with old friends. “The main inspiration for people coming back is to catch up with people that they haven’t seen in a while, and for me, that’s the main reason for coming down,” Ian said. “You hang out with them so long, and it all ends really suddenly, and you don’t realize till after college is over.” Despite only being away from the UA for a short amount of time, Ian Barton said he misses the Arizona heat and all the good Mexican food Tucson has to offer. “People like to bag on Tucson and say that it gets boring after a while, but Tucson is a really good place,” Ian said.
“Once you leave Tucson you see what a special community it is and there is always something fun to do.” Not only does Ian Barton get the chance to reconnect with friends and eat authentic Mexican food, he is able to visit family. His younger brother and UA freshman, Connor Barton, said he is excited to be able to see his brother and spend quality time together. “It means a lot to see him because I haven’t seen him in a while. It’s going to be good to reconnect,” Connor said. Since both brothers have Wildcat spirit in their veins, they are able to bond over their time spent at the UA. “It’s amazing to be able to give him advice and actually say it without hesitation because I’ve been there before,” Ian said. “It’s nice being a good resource for him.” Connor also enjoys being able to go to his brother for any UA-related issue. “Ian and I have similar degrees, and it’s good to have somebody to go to for advice,” Connor said. “He also knew a lot of people here, so it’s nice to have those connections.”
Connor said he is excited to be able to share his first UA Homecoming experience with his brother. “I’m happy I’m going to be able to share this with him. It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Connor said. When it comes to Homecoming, Ian associates it with the UA tradition. “When I was at the UA the main thing I was excited about was the lighting of ‘A’ Mountain, the parade and all those things like that,” Ian said. Ian even got to plan the lighting of “A” Mountain one year when he was a part of the Student Alumni Ambassadors. “It was a really awesome experience. It lets you know about the traditions at the UA and the strength those traditions have,” Ian said. As for Homecoming plans, Connor is excited to attend the tailgate and watch the UA football team take on Oregon COURTESY CONNOR BARTON with his brother. “We are just going to go to the tailgate IAN BARTON, LEFT, IS a recent UA grad who is and catch up. Then we will go watch the currently pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Notre Dame, and Connor Barton, right, is a UA football game,” Connor said. freshman studying pre-business.

losing coach The University of Arizona football team may have won their homecoming game on Nov. 8, 2014, but one UA student lost her Coach purse after someone broke into her car during the game. A UAPD officer arrived at the scene of the crime and spoke with the student. She told the officer that she left her car in that parking lot and attended the Homecoming game. When she returned approximately four hours later, her purse was gone. The right rear window of her vehicle was broken, which the thief presumably did in order to snatch the bag. The officer determined that the thief inflicted no other damage to the vehicle. According to the student, her bag would not have been visible from the outside of the
car. It had been located under her laptop. However, the laptop was not taken and was leaning on the back of the passenger seat when the officer examined the vehicle. The student told the officer that the Coach purse itself was worth approximately $400. The purse also reportedly contained about $100 in cash, a bottle of perfume worth about $100 and cosmetics worth about $150 altogether. The officer noted that there were smudges around the car’s window. However, the officer could not lift any fingerprints from the inadequate smudges. The officer’s search of the area did not turn up anything. The officer ultimately gave the student a case number.

removed the ring in order to apply some suntan lotion. Later on, however, when she looked for the ring, she could not remember where she put it. She stated that, despite her attempts, a search of the area around her seat and of the restroom area did not succeed in finding the missing ring. According to the woman, the ring was worth $4,000. It was double-band platinum. The design of the ring included a large, round diamond in the middle, flanked by three smaller diamonds on both sides.
you’ll float too Don’t rain on a person’s parade and don’t destroy the float for that parade either. The members of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity experienced a threat to the festivities when their parade float was partially damaged by members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on Nov. 8, 2002. UAPD officers arrived at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house, the scene of the apparent attack, at approximately 10 p.m., when they spoke with three members of Delta Tau Delta who witnessed the incident. According to Delta Tau Delta members, the raid occurred at approximately 8:30 p.m.
Two of the Delta Tau Delta members were standing out front, keeping guard. Trouble arrived in the form of 20 Sigma Alpha Epsilon members. According to the Delta Tau Delta members, the members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon emerged from the alleyway and attacked the float. They ripped pieces of tissue paper from the float. Some of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon members grabbed hold of the float’s side panel and dragged it across the street. According to the report, the float did not sustain any permanent damage. During the raid, the two Delta Tau Delta members who were guarding the float were punched by invading SAE members, according to the Delta Tau Delta members. Upon noticing that their float was under attack, members of Delta Tau Delta rushed out of their frat house. They chased off the Sigma Alpha Epsilon members, who retreated into their own frat house. One of the Delta Tau Delta members told officers that he recognized two of the offending SAE members from high school. According to the report, the president of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity told officers that he would be speaking with UA Greek Life about the incident.

THE MALL IS COVERED with tents during the 2018 Tucson Festival of Books. The UA Homecoming event will be featuring tents throughout the UA Mall on Saturday, October 27.
Homecoming tents set up on UA Mall BY CONNOR FRIES @cfries_19
Every year, for the past 104 years, the University of Arizona has hosted its much-anticipated Homecoming celebration for alumni and students. Each year, interesting and unique organizations set up tents on the UA Mall during Homecoming. On Saturday, Oct. 26, a total of 24 tents will be present on the UA Mall during Homecoming. Organizations on the UA Mall will range from student groups to different colleges around campus. The student groups and college tents are separated into different sections. The individual colleges are included in the College Village area of the Mall, while student groups are in a different section. The colleges and academic organizations that will be present include the Eller College of Management, the College of Education, the College of Engineering, the College of Nursing, Research, Discovery & Innovation, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, UA Online, the School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences
and the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. Student resource organizations such as the Campus Recreation, the SALT Center, Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and the Asian Pacific American Student Affairs will set up tents on the Mall as well. Several Greek Life organizations will have tents on the Mall, including Alpha Kappa Psi, Gamma Alpha Omega, Kappa Delta Chi, Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Lambda Beta, UA Delta Tau Epsilon Reunion and the UA Alumni Band with Pride of Arizona. Lisa Valentine, UA Alumni Travel, Homecoming and Signature Events director described the process of obtaining a tent on the UA Mall. “[Organizations] are not chosen by anyone, they pay to have a tent on the Mall,” Valentine said. “Any college or student group, club or alumni group can reserve a tent, mainly based on available space.” The pricing of the tents was based on the size of the tent that the organization wished to reserve. Pricing for tents started at $117 and went up to $1375.26, as mentioned on the UA Alumni Association website.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships
I vant you...
to use your sleeve!*
2018 marks Campus Health’s 100th year of providing quality health care & service to the UA.
I’ve heard there’s a “higher risk” for certain types of sex. What is more risky and what is the actual risk? You’re right, risk levels vary among sexual behaviors. The term risk usually refers to the odds or chances of of contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD). STDs can be transmitted through a variety of ways including contact with body fluids such as vaginal secretions, semen, and blood as well as through contact with infected skin or mucous membranes. Below is a risk continuum of some common sexual behaviors: HIGHER • Anal and vaginal intercourse RISK - Receptive - Insertive • Oral sex on a man - With ejaculation - Without ejaculation • Oral sex on a woman • Oral-anal contact LOWER RISK
NO RISK
• Intimate kissing • Casual kissing • Touching, massage • Masturbation • Talking, fantasy
Here are some other ways to reduce your risk when it comes to intimacy: • Understand the risk levels of different sexual behaviors • Limit your number of partners • Use protection (male condoms, female condoms, latex dams) • Engage in sexual activities when sober • Get tested for STDs • Talk with your partner(s) about their sexual history and encourage them to get tested Use condoms and a birth control method (pill, IUD, Nexplanon, DepoProvera, etc.) to decrease the risk of both STDs and pregnancy. UA Campus Health is here for your sexual health! Stop by Free Condom Friday every Friday at Campus Health from 12-2pm and pick up free male condoms, female condoms, lube, latex dams, sexual health info, and more! Have birth control questions?

Whatever floats your (parade) float BY PRIYA JANDU @DailyWildcat
The University of Arizona will be having its annual Homecoming Parade Saturday, Oct. 27. The parade starts on Cherry Avenue and First Street, and will continue down Cherry, circle Old Main on campus and then go out to Campbell Avenue. The parade is expected to start at 3:45 p.m. and could last from an hour to an hour and 45 minutes. The university’s Color Guard, band and cheer squad will be in the parade, along with President Dr. Robert Robbins. The Boys and Girls Club of Tucson, Alpha Kappa Psi and the Royalty Court will also be among the many parade participants. Denise Shorbe, project specialist for the Alumni Association, is organizing the Homecoming Parade along with the Bobcat Alumni Club. “Our special group is the Walden Grove dance team. They performed in ‘America’s Got Talent,’ so they’ll be riding on a fire truck and performing at the tailgate,” said Shorbe. “This year we reached out to more community groups, so we have floats participating, such as fire trucks with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization and a
float with a community food bank.” Shorbe said the focus of the Homecoming Parade last year was on student involvement. “This year, it’s not as greatly participated with student groups,” Shorbe said. “I do have some but not as many as I thought I would, but I have a lot of alumni participating.” Some alumni that are participating will include Homecoming Royalty from the 1970s. Shorbe said organizing the parade takes significant effort. “We start in the summer with communication drafting,” Shorbe said. “Really, it starts as soon as we know the game date.” The Bobcats deal with communication, getting the information out to various groups and organizations, and performing roles such as finding cars for people to ride in. Shorbe follows up on the Bobcats’ work and organizes the logistics of the parade. “It takes a lot,” Shorbe said. “I learned very quickly of all the dynamics as far as UAPD, getting the barriers to close roads, even athletics being involved in terms of timing. So it takes the university community to really pull it off.”

THE PRIDE OF ARIZONA marches in the Homecoming Parade around the UA Mall Oct. 28, 2017.
Concerning the cost of the parade, Shorbe did not have a specific number. “In the bigger picture, is it enormously expensive? I don’t think so, but a lot of that is because we make that up because of the groups’ entry fee,” Shorbe said. Shorbe said there is no intention to
make any profit from the parade. “This event is important to alumni. This is to celebrate all the people that have come through [the school], students, staff, faculty,” Shorbe said. “It’s just an important time of year.”
ANNUAL BONFIRE LETS IT ALL BURN BY MEKAYLA PHAN @mekaylaphan
The University of Arizona Alumni Association invites all Wildcats to join its annual Homecoming Bonfire tradition this upcoming Friday, Oct. 26, at 7:30 p.m on the west side of Old Main. “The bonfire is not just a bonfire,” said UA Alumni Association President Melinda Burke. “[The event] sort of captures the enthusiasm and the excitement that people have for the weekend.” This tradition, nearly a hundred years old, has been one of the most well-attended events during Homecoming week, after a brief disappearance. Burke does not know why and how long it disappeared for, but she said that it has been successful ever since it was rekindled eight or nine years ago. She also said that it is an event that simply brings people together. “For me, the bonfire marks the end of our first busy day of Homecoming,” Burke said. “We all gather to enjoy the fire. We enjoy each other, we connect with friends — also for us on the staff. We love the bonfire because it’s just a wonderful feeling of community.” UA Director of Alumni Travel and Signature Events
Lisa Valentine, who is also an alumna, said that it’s truly a great event that she has been overseeing for years. “I look forward to the bonfire every year,” Valentine said. “The only thing that makes it better is if we win the football game.” Burke encouraged all current UA students to get out there as well. ”It’s a very special time for alums, to welcome them back to campus and help us create this wonderful, fun community that the alumni will want to come back to,” Burke said. “All these students will one day be alumni. So, I would encourage students to show up, have a good time and talk to a mom to find out what brings them back and why do they continue to come back to the U of A?” The program begins with a Bear Down Friday Night Pep Rally celebration at Main Gate, where UA President Dr. Robert Robbins and Burke will give speeches. There will be a march to the Old Main Fountain, where the 2018 Homecoming king and queen will be crowned and the bonfire will be lit. The Pride of Arizona marching band, Wilbur and Wilma T. Wildcat, UA cheerleaders and 2018 Homecoming court will also attend.

SPORTS | GAME PREVIEW & ANALYSIS
Homecoming Horrors?
BY DAVID SKINNER @DavidWSkinner_
Pac-12 foes Arizona and No. 19 Oregon face off in Arizona Stadium Saturday, Oct. 27th during Homecoming weekend. It should be a weekend full of celebrations and jubilation amongst Arizona fans of all ages and has a chance of getting rained on by the opponents from the Pacific Northwest. Oregon comes into this game coming off a blowout loss to Washington State that was televised nationwide, killing any chance the Ducks had of sneaking onto the College Football Playoff field. Arizona is also coming off a loss which was not nearly as one-sided as the affair in Pullman, but the one-point loss and the impact it has on the Wildcats’ minds is great, as the loss in the Rose Bowl puts them two games under .500. This not only eliminates any chance they had at a Pac12 South crown, it also puts the chances of the Wildcats reaching a bowl game at slim to none with Colorado, Washington State and Arizona State following the Ducks on Arizona’s remaining schedule. The good news for Arizona fans is that the Wildcats are no strangers to giving the Ducks fits when they least expect it. Dennis Dixon and the No. 2 ranked Ducks walked into Arizona Stadium on a Thursday night in 2007 and were upset by the Mike Stoops-led ‘Cats. Arizona also beat the Ducks in back-to-back years 2013 and 2014, ending the Ducks’ BCS Title run in 2013, while being the National Championship-bound Ducks’ lone loss in 2014. Ruining the Ducks’ season isn’t new to Arizona, but this game is slightly different than those in the past. The Ducks have been the Pac-12 bully for the last decade, and the neighborhood bully got punched in the mouth last weekend. If you know anything about bullies, they usually want retaliation, and they usually take it out on the person smaller than them, an easy target that they can take out all their frustration and pent up anger on. Arizona might just be the punching bag that Mario Cristobal’s team uses to take out the frustration that comes with not meeting the high expectations. Oregon comes in boasting one of the largest and more physical offensive lines in the country, laying the groundwork for their traditionally strong running game while also giving the potential top pick in next year’s NFL Draft, Justin Herbert, enough time to pick apart lesser secondaries while also being a threat with his legs. The Ducks offense looks like match made in hell for defensive coordinator Marcel Yates’ defense, as they have been borderline allergic to stopping opposing teams on third downs all season. This Ducks team lives on 3rd-and-

short situations, forcing teams into submission as they have converted just under 50 percent of their third downs on the season. The girth up front is an unusual sight in Eugene, as the coaches that preceded Cristobal favored smaller-framed offensive lineman that were mobile and athletic, allowing them to reach the second level on the zone-read plays that has made Oregon the offensive juggernaut the last ten years. Cristobal, the former Miami Hurricane offensive lineman, has already put his webbed foot on this program by making the transition to being more physical up front. Oregon teams traditionally have struggled with teams with bigger front sevens like Harbaugh’s Stanford teams, as well as the Nick Fairley-led Auburn team and the Joey Bosa-led Ohio State team Oregon lost to in the National Championships in 2011 and 2015, respectively. Arizona in the past was able to take advantage of the lack of size up front like the teams mentioned above, allowing the Wildcats to make mobile and dynamic quarterbacks like Dennis Dixon and Heisman-winner Marcus Mariota uncomfortable in the pocket.
Even though the defense accounted for an season-high 12 tackles for loss against UCLA, this Oregon team will be prepared and more than capable of stymieing the young defensive front of Arizona. Another aspect that could hamper Arizona’s upset bid is the current quarterback situation. The Wildcats have used Rhett Rodriguez the last two games to fill in for the onelegged Khalil Tate, and Rodriguez almost lead a comeback in the Rose Bowl but fell just short. If Tate is healthy, he may be ready to be back to be being the electric quarterback that led to Sports Illustrated putting him on the regional cover of their preview issue. I wouldn’t expect it, but the return of the dynamic quarterback could be the exact antidote for a wild game in Tucson in front of the Homecoming crowd. The bottom line is that Arizona is going to need a couple miracles to pull of the upset this upcoming Saturday. If history has taught us anything, is that the college football gods aren’t afraid to grant a few miracles whenever they feel like it. If the Wildcats want to go toe-to-toe with the Ducks, they are going to needs all the help they can get.

ARIZONA QUARTERBACK KHALIL TATE looks for a teammate to pass to during the UA-Washington State game Saturday, Oct. 28.
RUNNING BACK KA’DEEM CAREY runs away from Colorado defenders in a 56-31 win. Carey did a lot of that on his way to a record, setting 366 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
JUNIOR TRAVIS COBB RETURNS the opening kickoff for a touchdown in the 48-7 Homecoming-game win against Washington State.
Who can forget last year’s Homecoming game against the Cougars? It was only Khalil Tate’s third start of the season and fourth consecutive game getting the majority of UA’s quarterback snaps. He went 10-17 passing for 275 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, while running for 158 yards and one touchdown on 13 attempts. The final score shows a blowout, but Washington State actually led in the second half. The then-No. 15-ranked Cougars took a 27-23 lead with 8:06 left in the third quarter, but the ‘Cats ended the game on a 28-10 run. And it’s not like Arizona sat on the football and ran out the clock when they had the ball late in the game. Three of Arizona’s final five touchdowns were on plays of 49 yards or longer. J.J. Taylor ran for a 79-yard touchdown, Tate ran for a 49-yard touchdown and Colin Schooler returned an interception 66 yards for a score.
Arizona’s second Pac-12 meeting with Colorado featured legendary running back Ka’Deem Carey in a major way. The future-NFL back ran for 366 yards – a conference record – on 25 carries and five touchdowns, which set a school record. Carey also caught two passes for 34 yards. Arizona’s defense was led by sophomore linebacker Jake Fischer, who had five solo and five assisted tackles. Reggie Gilbert also had four tackles, including a sack. Arizona’s win over Colorado was then-head-coach Rich Rodriguez’s first homecoming at Arizona. The ‘Cats would go on to win the Gildan New Mexico Bowl over Nevada the next month, Arizona’s first bowl win in four years.
UA’s Homecoming rout of Washington State started with a bang as Travis Cobb fielded the opening kickoff at the five-yard line and took it to the house. It wasn’t the only special-teams touchdown the ‘Cats scored that game, either. William Wright returned a punt 86 yards for a score in the third quarter. Six players, including quarterbacks Matt Scott and Nick Foles, combined for 294 yards on the ground, scoring three touchdowns. Foles was showcased in the pocket, completing 12 of 19 passing for 136 and a touchdown, but he split the snaps with Scott, who ran for 91 yards. The Wildcat defense showed up, as well. UA’s defensive front gave up just 59 yards on the ground and 185 yards of total offense. The ‘Cats also forced and recovered two fumbles, recovered by Ricky Elmore and Lolomana Mikaele.

NEWS | HOMECOMING COURT
Who will reign? HOCO royalty announced BY GWEN SPENCER @gwenspencer11
The University of Arizona announced the 2018 Homecoming court last week. The nominees for Queen are Ella Guajardo, Paige Helfinstine, Jalon Jackson, Madison Savlov and Lauren Tolin. For King, the nominees are: Ahmed F Al-Shamari, Benjamen Michael Meyer, Jack Niles, Luis Rosano and Stuart Smeck. The Daily Wildcat got to talk with some of the princes and princesses. Meyer is from Peoria, Ariz., and is majoring in neuroscience with a neurobiology emphasis. He was nominated by Alpha Epsilon Delta, a professional health honor society on campus. Ben describes himself as inquisitive, passionate and spunky. When Meyer is not representing the UA as one of the Homecoming princes, you can find him being a Supplemental Instruction leader for MCB181R, a preceptor for organic chemistry and an introductory neuroscience course, a Research Assistant, co-founder and treasurer of Fight the Stigma and a member of the Alpha Epsilon Delta fraternity and Nu Rho Psi chapter. “I want to represent not only the club who nominated me but the entire UA student body. I want to continue to show students that Tucson’s ‘Be Kind’ motto will allow you to live a happier and more fulfilling life,” Meyer said. Meyer was instantly immersed in the Arizona Homecoming traditions and remembers the spirit and pride the UA had that day. “Throughout the semester it is easy to lose track of what it means to be a Wildcat, but Homecoming is a time in which we unite as Wildcats and put our competitive nature towards defeating the other team instead of each other,” Meyer said. “Being a Wildcat means two things: being kind to others and never settling.” Lauren Tolin is a management information systems major from Redondo Beach, Calif. She was nominated by the Eller College of Management to be one of the Homecoming princesses. Lauren can be found working at Eller as a special events manager, being a part of the Eller Leadership Board as vice president of finance and being an active member of Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity. Tolin reflected on why she wanted to

be on Homecoming court. “[To]represent this wonderful university in one of the most memorable weeks of the school year,” Tolin said. “Homecoming gives a significant sense of pride for everyone affiliated with the University of Arizona and solidifies the university’s spirit and culture.” Tolin’s favorite Homecoming memory was participating in the Alpha Kappa Psi parade float. “It was in the moment of driving through the parade that I felt an incredible sense of community and UA
spirit,” Tolin said. Paige Helfinstine is from Prescott, Ariz., and is majoring in journalism to become a broadcast journalist. She was nominated by Alpha Phi to represent in the homecoming court. Paige is a member of the Eller Social Media club, a social media marketing intern at the Tucson American Heart Association, and a member, philanthropy assistant and vice president of marketing in Alpha Phi. She describes herself as bubbly and looking forward to graduation. Helfinstine spoke on why she enjoys
representing the UA and supporting her sorority sisters. “Homecoming is a real time of togetherness, and every year going to the bonfire with my sorority sisters we are reminded how much we love going to this school,” Helfinstine said. Students can vote Wednesday and Thursday on the Arizona Alumni website for their favorite Homecoming princess and prince nominee. The winners will be announced at the Homecoming bonfire on Friday at 7:30 p.m. on the west side of Old Main.

‘A’ Mountain lights up stormy skies BY LAUREN ALBRECHT @laurenkalbrecht
As raindrops began falling from the cloudy sky, the Bobcats Senior Honorary lit their flares and covered the whitewashed “A” on “A” Mountain in light, kicking off Homecoming week on Sunday, Oct. 21 at 5:35 p.m. This year the class of 2019 was ready to light the flares that kick off Homecoming week for the University of Arizona, rain or shine. Despite the weather, the senior honorary members were excited to experience the annual tradition. “It’s absolutely humbling,” said Riley Campbell, senior biology major and president of Bobcats Senior Honorary. “I think for all of us this whole year, all these different experiences, I think humbling is just the best word to describe it all.” Maddie Halaburda, Bobcat Senior Honorary member and a senior public health student, also expressed excitement to be a part of lighting the “A”. She noted wanting to be a part of the traditions at the UA for a very long time, especialy in a week such as Homecoming. “We’re really excited to be heading this event,” Halaburda said. “In my entire four years here, Homecoming always starts with this huge bang of lighting the A, so the second we got to volunteer to be a part of it, I was so excited I jumped right on it.” The excitement of kickstarting the 104th Homecoming week was there for students and alumni alike. Lisa
Valentine, director of alumni travel and signature events and a UA graduate of 1991, said she was proud of what the honorary this year accomplished to put together this event. She also noted the small changes to the tradition that still made it a start to Homecoming week. “It’s a tradition that’s been going on for a long time,” Valentine said. “When I was in school in the late ‘80s [to] early ‘90s, the freshmen used to whitewash it and the seniors used to light it for homecoming.” The 260 flares needed to light the “A” had several meanings for members of the Bobcats Senior Honorary. “The lighting of the ‘A’ is just a small representation of the pride we have in our school,” Campbell said. It was also explained as a symbol of unity for students and alumni. “It’s so great knowing that everyone in their dorms, in the library, in classrooms, everywhere they are, they’re able to look up and see the lighting of the ‘A,’” Halaburda said. Along with the fun students and alumni had during the lighting, there were also safety precautions put into place. The committee responsible for the lighting ensured the safety of their honorary by having firefighters present on scene. “I am making sure the students who are already having a good time are having a safe and good time by wearing the proper safety equipment and utilizing flares in a safe manner and just making sure they are watching their footing and staying safe,” said Joshua Thomas Houseman, captain of Tucson fire engine 15.
Along with safety, there were other ways the senior honorary prepared for this event. Since the first week of the fall semester, planning for the lighting of “A” Mountain was on their minds. There were several steps to ensuring the lighting of the “A” remained an ongoing tradition. “We had to contact the fire marshals, contact the people about getting the flares and plan for that,” said Katie Christopher, a member of the Bobcats Senior Honorary and a senior nutritional science major. The Bobcats also do more for Homecoming week than just plan for the lighting of “A” Mountain. There are several events the honorary organizes for students and alumni. “The kids are great, it’s always a fun time,” Valentine said. “The students start in the fall, and they have committees that oversee events.” From designating Homecoming royalty to putting on events for the student body, the honorary was involved in a variety of Homecoming activities besides the lighting of the “A”. “I am a part of the Homecoming Queen Committee so [that involves] the process of interviewing the queens, holding mixers for the queens so that way we get to know them better,” Christopher said. “We have also planned fun events for the week like bowling and the bonfire.” The lighting of “A” Mountain was the catalyst to another Homecoming week full of events.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA HOMECOMING queen candidates line up in front of their fellow students at the Main Gate Square watch party for the lighting of “A” Mountain on Sunday. The “A” on Sentinel Peak was constructed in 1916.
University of Arizona students danced and cheered in the rain at the traditional Lighting of “A” Mountain party, which kicked off this year’s Homecoming on Sunday, Oct. 21 on top of the Main Gate Garage. Although it was raining, Homecoming cheer and school spirit were not diminished. The lighting ceremony, hosted by the Student Alumni Ambassadors as well as the UA Alumni Association, which also funded the event, kicked off at 5 p.m. with pizza, eegee’s, refreshments, a DJ and a cloudy sunset view of “A” Mountain and the Tucson surroundings. Nina Fitchett, the SAA president and a senior physiology and finance student, helped plan the event. “It took a lot of planning. We’ve been working on Homecoming for the past three months,” Fitchett said. SAA, the second club that’s part of the UA Alumni Association, had to book the location on top of the Main Gate Garage through Facilities Management, rent the tables and stage from Arizona Party Rentals and get the DJ, Wilbur, Wilma and the alumni band to come. The club gets all of the honoraries and alumni groups together to celebrate the start of Homecoming week. According to Fitchett, this year’s event was their biggest “A” Mountain lighting ceremony ever. The club hit full RSVP capacity on its Facebook event page about three weeks ago, and it had participants of the Lighting of “A” Mountain 5k Fun Run come despite its cancellation due to rain. “This is a really nice event to kick off Homecoming. Everyone gets together. It’s just really fun. We get free food,” Fitchett said. “It’s just a good time for everybody.” Ariana Olmos, the Lighting of “A” Mountain chairwoman and an undergraduate sophomore law student, also helped SAA prepare for the event. “The fun part was actually getting here and seeing everything come together and seeing it all the way I
envisioned it in my head,” said Olmos. She said that they all got there at 1 p.m. to make sure that everything was running smoothly. The UA Alumni Association President Melinda Burke announced some of the upcoming Homecoming events, such as the parade, tailgate party, bonfire and GLOW. She also announced this year’s nominees for Homecoming king and queen, two of whom will be crowned at the Homecoming Bonfire this Friday, Oct. 26, at 7:30 p.m. on the west side of Old Main. When the alumni band started playing the UA Fight Song, the honoraries and groups that came sang along and got pumped up for the official start of Homecoming. Wilbur and Wilma helped get the school spirit soaring high. People at the viewing party counted down at 5:45 p.m. to watch the mountain get lit up by the Bobcats, the senior honoraries, who set up flares each year to actually light up “A” Mountain. Emeka Chukwunonso, who goes by Nonso and is a Sophos Sophomore Honorary member and physiology student, celebrated with his fellow Sophos. The Sophos and other class honoraries try to get involved on campus as much as they can. “We’re all about being a part of the UA,” Chukwunonso said. “We all came out to just hang out, see all of our friends and just get ready for the Homecoming event.” He said his favorite part was seeing friends and reconnecting with people he hasn’t seen in a while to get pumped for the Homecoming festivities this year. This year’s “A” Mountain party was not hampered by the rain, and the students that stayed seemed to enjoy their pizza as they danced and sang in the rain. The view of the “A” catching fire on the mountain with the big rain clouds in the background was the perfect start of a new week full of Homecoming festivities.

NOTABLE WILDCAT ALUMNI IN THE NFL Rob Gronkowski and Nick Foles are popular UA football alumni in the NFL, but here are some names you may have forgotten about that have made an impact BY ROB KLEIFIELD @Rob Kleifield
The Arizona football program has produced a number of successful professionals in the last decade, most notably recent Super Bowl winners Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots and Philadelphia’s very own miracle worker Nick Foles. Gronkowski notched his 500th career reception during week six of the 2018 NFL regular season, becoming the 17th tight end to ever do so. Foles returned to his behind-the-scenes role for the Eagles after leading the defending Super Bowl champs to a 1-1 record while franchise quarterback Carson Wentz finished rehab from his ACL injury suffered late last season. Foles and Gronkowski have evolved into the face of Arizona football at the next level, but they’re not the only Wildcats that have carved out respectable careers in the NFL. Arizona doesn’t necessarily have the strongest track record of producing draft picks, but there is still a pride of Wildcats in the pros. ANTOINE CASON CORNERBACK • Hometown: Long Beach, Calif. • Played at Arizona 2004-07 • Selected in the first round (No. 27) of the 2008 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers • Career Stats: 110 games played, 364 combined tackles, eight forced fumbles, 16 interceptions, 63 pass deflections, two touchdowns. Cason briefly suited up for the Ravens in 2014 before entering free agency. He later announced that he would have season-ending foot surgery ahead of the 2015 season – he hasn’t played a down in the NFL since. Cason’s final noteworthy contributions on the gridiron came in Carolina earlier in the 2014 season, but his professional career will largely be remembered for his five-year stretch with the Chargers. After receiving the Jim Thorpe Award in 2007, being honored as college football’s best defensive back, Cason was expected to help San Diego’s defensive secondary. The ball-hawking cornerback ended up playing in all 16 games during each season of his stay on the west coast. Although he never evolved into the All-Pro type of player that some scouts and fans anticipated, Cason was a vital piece of the Chargers secondary for half a decade. EARL MITCHELL DEFENSIVE TACKLE • Hometown: Houston, Texas • Played at Arizona 2006-09 • Selected in the third round (No. 81) of the 2010 NFL draft by the Houston Texans • Career Stats: 123 games played, 256 combined tackles, 6.5 sacks, 24 TFLs, nine pass deflections Currently in his ninth season, Mitchell has developed into a consistent cog in his team’s defensive front.
THE DAILY WILDCAT
FORMER UA CORNERBACK ANTOINE Cason returns a punt in a 20-17 loss to ASU in Arizona Stadium on Dec. 1, 2007. Cason, chosen by San Diego 27th overall in 2008, had 16 career interceptions.
After playing on both sides of the ball in college, catching passes as a slimmed down tight end alongside Gronkowski, Mitchell clearly developed a knack for playing in the opposition’s backfield. After spending four years with the Texans and three in Miami, the former Wildcat returned to the west coast with the San Francisco 49ers. Mitchell may not garner the most glorious of stats, often times serving as a one- or three-technique defensive tackle, but his large frame eats up blockers, creating opportunities for his teammates to make plays. Mitchell is currently in the second year of a four-year, $16 million contract. BROOKS REED LINEBACKER • Hometown: Tucson, Ariz. • Played at Arizona 2007-10 • Selected in the second round (No. 42) of the 2011 NFL draft by the Houston Texans • Career Stats: 110 games played, 262 combined tackles, 21.5 sacks, 35 TFLs, 11 pass deflections Reed started his NFL career in Houston alongside former Arizona teammate Earl Mitchell. The quicktwitch, aggressive defensive end spent four years wreaking havoc upon AFC South quarterbacks. In 2015, Reed found a new home in Atlanta, eventually making his debut for the Falcons against
his former team. Despite dealing with groin injuries throughout his career, Reed has maintained his production off the edge. His burst off the ball as a 3-4 outside linebacker sets himself up for success against larger offensive lines and elusive quarterbacks. After watching Reed pummel opponents in college as a prototypical hand-in-the-dirt defensive end, it’s no surprise to see his athleticism and strength continue to give him an upper hand in the NFL. Reed is currently in the fourth year of a 5-year, $22 million contract that includes a $1 million bonus pending an invite to the Pro Bowl. Here are three more Wildcats currently striving to earn more playing time and expanded roles on their respective teams: DANE CRUIKSHANK SAFETY • Hometown: Chino Hills, Calif. • Played at Arizona 2015-17 • Selected in the fifth round (No. 152) of the 2018 NFL draft by the Tennessee Titans Cruikshank scored his first career touchdown against

He started five games in 2017, tallying 51 combined tackles, four pass deflections and one interception. REGGIE GILBERT — LINEBACKER • Hometown: Laveen, Ariz. • Played at Arizona 2011-15 Gilbert was signed by Green Bay as an undrafted free agent following the conclusion of the 2016 NFL Draft. He spent his first two years on the practice squad but has since joined the active roster and contributed in six straight games for the Packers. WILL PARKS — SAFETY • Hometown: Philadelphia, Pa. • Played at Arizona 2012-15 Parks was selected in the sixthround (No. 219) of the 2016 draft by the Denver Broncos and started five games in 2017, tallying 51 combined tackles, four pass deflections and one interception.

NEWS | BEHIND HOMECOMING
UA Alumni Association President Melinda Burke on Homecoming Burke and the Alumni Association organize Homecoming events throughout the week. The Daily Wildcat spoke to her about what she does to prepare and her best Homecoming memories BY MARK LAWSON @TheLawson_1
For Melinda Burke, Homecoming at the University of Arizona is more than just an event, it is a way of life. Burke is the president of the UA Alumni Association. She received her bachelor’s of science degree from the UA College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in 1975, followed later by a master’s of science in 1981. Burke’s husband Bruce is also a UA alum, with one of their daughters an alumna of the UA College of Medicine as well. The Daily Wildcat spoke to her about her experience as Alumni Association president and their prep for Homecoming. This interview has been edited slightly for clarity. Daily Wildcat: In your opinion, why does Homecoming matter? Melinda Burke: Homecoming offers an opportunity for all alumni to come back to campus to connect with their college, renew friendships and reflect on the important role the UA had in their transition to adulthood, and it’s a whole lot of fun! It matters because our goal is to support an active and engaged alumni community committed to advancing the UA. Homecoming is one way we make a connection with alumni. DW: Preparing for something like Homecoming has to be a year-round event. How much work truly goes into it behind the scenes? MB: I don’t think anyone fully appreciates how much goes into Homecoming. The UAAA spends almost a year planning the week-long celebration. In addition, there are many tours, lectures and other events hosted by the colleges, so many people on campus are busy planning events. DW: What do you do to prepare for Homecoming? MB: Homecoming is actually a full week,
starting Oct. 21 with the lighting of “A” Mountain. We have events all week, culminating in the Wildcat for Life tailgate on the Mall Oct 27. The UAAA staff spends about nine months preparing for Homecoming, and everyone in the office takes great pride in their piece of the celebration. DW: What is different about Homecoming this year than in previous years? MB: This year we have added a new event for our most recent alumni. Any alum who is one to five years out of the UA is invited to GLOW, our alumni party that takes place after the bonfire on Friday night. The full schedule for all Homecoming activities is on our website. DW: What do Homecoming and the UA mean to not only you, but your family, considering you are an alumna? MB: My husband Bruce and I have a combined four degrees from the UA and we’ve been connected in one way or another for over 25 years. The UA helped my husband launch a successful career in law and connected me to my first employer in the retailing industry. We both are very committed to supporting the UA as volunteers and donors. We are excited to be part of the Wildcat Mentor Society and serve as mentors in the first year of this new program. For me, personally, Homecoming is an opportunity to celebrate everything the UA has done for our family. DW: What is your favorite Homecoming memory? MB: My favorite part of Homecoming is the hundreds of alumni I meet and the great stories I hear from them about their time at the UA. The 50th Reunion attendees are always full of wonderful stories about the UA. One of my favorite events is the Alumni of the Year ceremony where we honor the incredible achievements of our alumni. It makes me very proud to be a Wildcat.

Advertising sells: A Wildcat love story Robert and Debbie Skarda have been married for 40 years, and it all started with the Daily Wildcat. The couple visited Tucson to celebrate their anniversary and made a stop on campus to see where it all began BY JASMINE DEMERS @JasmineADemers
On Oct. 3, 1975, Robert Skarda, a silversmith and selfproclaimed ‘mountain man,’ placed an advertisement in The Daily Wildcat, a campus newspaper at the University of Arizona, that would lead him to meet his future wife of 40 years. Robert and Debbie Skarda married Oct. 14, 1978, three years after they met in Tucson near the University of Arizona campus. Now residing in Atlanta, Georgia, the two decided to come back to Tucson in celebration of their 40th wedding anniversary. In 1975, Robert, along with his roommate Chuck, was living on Mount Lemmon in Tucson and soon realized that there wasn’t much of a social life up on the mountain. “We loved being up there, but we found out just how small the community was rather quickly,” Robert said. “So, we figured there had to be a lot of bored, female students who liked to be outdoors and hike and such.” The Daily Wildcat was located in the original Student Union Memorial Center back in 1975, which is where Robert and Chuck went to place the advertisement. Because they were too embarrassed to walk into the building, they convinced their friend to submit it for them. “We had a friend who was from Palestine, and we knew he wouldn’t be socially embarrassed, so we said, ‘Eli, go turn this in. You’re going to be able to meet some girls,’” Robert said. The two men watched from around the corner as their friend courageously entered the newspaper’s advertising office. The advertisement read, “two reflective craftsmen in midtwenties living on Mt. Lemmon that are tired of superficial encounters at bars are open to real communications with positive women into arts music hiking and wild hickory nuts.” Robert boasted that, after all these years, he could still recite the advertisement from memory. When asked about the wild hickory nuts, he laughed that it was inspired by Euell Gibbons, a famous outdoorsman from the 60s and 70s who encouraged people to eat wild foods. Robert also reminisced about receiving stacks of letters in response to the ad, saying that several of them even had a spritz of perfume on them. “We didn’t even get through very many of them until we got to [Debbie’s] friend Merris,” he said. Debbie grew up on the East Coast, went to high school in Houston, Texas and eventually started her undergrad at Washington State University as a fine arts major. She had her own pottery studio in Washington but became increasingly interested in anthropology and archeology. It was then that she decided to transfer to the UA. Debbie was in her senior year at the UA studying liberal arts when she came across Robert’s ad with some of her friends. “My three friends and I saw the ad at the same time,” Debbie said. “I just had intuition something was up, and I never, ever would have looked through the personals ads before. It just was meant to be.” After finding the ad, Debbie and her friends decided to write a letter and invite Robert and Chuck to dinner. “We all said, ‘hey, we have nothing to lose. Let’s have a dinner. What’s the worst that could happen?’” she said.

Robert received a letter from Debbie’s friend Merris just a few days later. “I called Merris, and we talked for a long time. It seemed like we had a lot in common until I met [Debbie],” Robert said. “[Merris] invited her over to her house, and Debbie was there.” According to the couple, the two started talking right away. Debbie and her friends prepared eggplant parmesan for dinner and everyone got to know each other. “What kind of woman are you,” Robert joked. “Answering ads from strange mountain men.” The couple recalled that they had a hard time getting ahold of each other after that evening. After a visit to Mexico, Debbie was sick for quite some time, but Robert was eventually able to track her down. “Our first date I still didn’t have a working car, so we took the bus to a little Chinese restaurant on Grant Road,” Robert said. After Debbie’s graduation from UA in 1976, the couple decided to hit the road and rented a home in Florida. “We put everything into my red Volkswagen bus and headed down to Florida, south of St. Augustine,” Robert said. “We rented a house about two blocks from the beach and did art shows.” Between Robert’s silversmith work and Debbie’s background in fine arts, the two of them designed and created jewelry to present at several guild shows. They traveled up the east coast and were presenting at approximately 20 shows a year. “We did a show in Dayton, Ohio, and there was a tornado warning, and we were on this, what used to be, an old airfield, and they let us camp there,” Robert said. “And I think it was the lightening nearby or the electromagnetic waves from the radio hitting my brain that caused me to propose to her.” Robert and Debbie were married in Chicago later that year. Together they designed and created their own wedding rings. The couple moved to Atlanta in 1983, where they began to settle down, find long-term work and have children. Bob worked as a field service technician after going through training at the Control Data Institute, and Debbie started working at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The couple has two sons born in 1987 and 1988. The elder son has a Master’s in Education from Georgia State University, and the younger has a degree in environmental engineering from Georgia Tech.

“They got the brains from her, I swear,” Robert said. Robert is now retired but began writing books on southeastern U.S. archaeology and history in 2000. He has since published seven books with Old Oconee Books. Debbie has been with the VA for 34 years and said she is close to retirement.
We are blessed. I really say Debbie is my form of wealth.” — ROBERT SKARDA The couple said they were excited to come back to Tucson for their anniversary because of the special connection they have with the area. “We are blessed. I really say Debbie is my form of wealth,” Robert said. “We just feel so lucky,” Debbie said. “We try to tell our kids to not be so stressed, because life is just so good, and you’ve got to make the most of it.” While they were in town, the couple visited the UA, stopped by the Daily Wildcat, caught up with some old friends and even made a trip up to Mount Lemmon. In celebration of their anniversary, Robert placed another advertisement in the Daily Wildcat on Oct. 3, 2018, to thank the publication for helping to bring them together. “We would never have met without this advertisement,” Debbie said. “Isn’t that amazing? I think everyone should have a story like that.”

OUR FAVORITE FAMOUS UA ALUMNI Kristen Wiig By Toni Marcheva

risten Wiig has made me laugh out loud since I was kid, and the place in my heart for her grew a bit bigger after I learned she roamed the same grounds that I do now. Most of her characters are exaggerations of people we’ve probably met in real life, like the Target Lady or Penelope. Their closeness to reality makes actual life lighter, brighter and more comical. In fact, I wrote this in a great mood, because I spent a few minutes preparing by watching clips of Wiig’s iconic characters. I recommend doing the same anytime you’re feeling down about the world. Kristen Wiig’s story is remarkable. She didn’t come to the University of Arizona expecting to become a famous comedian. She took an acting class to fulfill a requirement as an art student. She was afraid of public speaking. However, she took risks to make her life special. Before starting a job she really didn’t want to, she asked herself: What do I really want to do? So, the next day, she packed her bags for L.A., “freaking out the whole way.” And we have all been better off for it. I hope UA teaches us all that same lesson. We won’t all be comedians, but we can be something bigger than the ordinary, bigger than our fears.
y favorite University of Arizona alumnus is John Hughes. Even if you don’t know John Hughes by name, you most likely know him by his string of successful movies throughout the 1980s, such as “The Breakfast Club” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” which depicted the oftenoverlooked mind and life of a small town teenager. Hughes’ films are still relatable to those in the pitfalls of adolescence, an often

Kerr graduated from the University of Arizona in 1988 with a degree in general studies with an emphasis in history, sociology and English. He played basketball for the Wildcats from 1983 to 1988. After graduating from the UA, Steve was selected in the second round of the NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns in 1988. He was then traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1989, where he spent three seasons from 1989 to 1992. Then, in part of the 1992-1993, season he went to the Orlando Magic. From 1993 to 1998 Kerr played with the Bulls alongside Michael Jordan. Kerr retired in 2003 after playing with the Spurs for four years.

lthough born in Phoenix, Barry Goldwater made the right decision to avoid Arizona State University and instead come down to far more hospitable Tucson to study at the University of Arizona. The “Grand Old Man of the Republican Party,” Barry Goldwater is probably Arizona’s single most influential contribution to the political landscape of the United States and a great representation of what makes Arizona unique. Although loathed in the 1950s and 60s as being a far-right-wing nut job by many in Washington, Goldwater declared he would defoliate Vietnam with nuclear bombs during his presidential race in 1964, yet by the 1990s Goldwater found himself far too moderate and liberal to keep up with the Republicans of the house and senate. Representing Arizona in the Senate for 30 years, Goldwater was a devoted protector of individual freedom, fiscal responsibility and denouncing the rise of the evangelical right’s control over the
daunting and confusing period of one’s life. Though there are some unrealistic elements to his films, such as taking your best friend’s dad’s 1961 Ferrari for a daylong joyride while narrowly avoiding being caught multiple times, Hughes still managed to accurately portray the complex inner workings of the teenage psyche. Just yesterday, while on a plane back to Tucson, I decided to watch “The Breakfast Club.” Despite the inaccurate portrayal of the size of a public school library, the idea of the separation of individuals based on labels, as well as the pain of social isolation, still rings true. The students know that, even though they have connected emotionally during their stints in detention, their return to school on Monday will cause them to go right back to the way things were before they met and got to know each other on an intimate level. Near the end, Anthony Michael Hall’s character, Brian, makes one of the powerful statements in the film: “I was just thinking, I mean. I know it’s kind of a weird time, but I was just wondering, um, what is gonna happen to us on Monday? When we’re all together again? I mean, I consider you guys my friends, I’m not wrong, am I?”

Arizona vs. Oregon: More than a game OPINION
BY DAVID SKINNER @DavidWSkinner_
H
omecoming weekend. A weekend where family and friends come into town and celebrate a shared love for a university. A multi-day celebration of your alma mater and favorite team, or just an excuse to have multiple strong beverages. For Arizona football, the Oregon Ducks come to town to try and end the celebration, not prolong it. And for me, a kid from a rural town in southern Oregon and a current Arizona Wildcat, the Ducks coming to town is a whole new meaning of Homecoming. It’s a matchup of where I’m from against where I am. Growing up watching the likes of Dennis Dixon, LaMichael James and D’Anthony Thomas propell the university I grew up closest to into the national spotlight through a game that I loved will always be special to me. Oregon football put the state in between California and Washington on the map, no pun intended, and for a kid that needed any and all motivation to get out and try and do incredible things in his life, seeing the flashy Ducks not
only beat whoever lined up against them but doing so in a way that was exciting, new and faster than it had been done before against higher-ranked opposition was the metaphorical boost I needed to go out and try things that weren’t comfortable or conventional. Previous to the Ducks’ dominance, the state of Oregon’s point of pride in the sports realm was the birthplace of Nike, Steve Prefontaine and Bill Walton winning an NBA Title in 1977 while jamming out with Jerry Garcia in his off time. That is it. So to say this game means something to me would be an understatement. It is a clash of some of my proudest and happiest moments during my childhood against the school that has given me a second chance at life, allowing me to chase my dreams, like writing this story, and for that I will be forever indebted. When I moved to Tucson on Christmas Eve, 2014, I was a 21-year-old, community college drop-out who had nothing to look forward to besides his two part-time jobs and the sports he consumed as a pleasant distraction from the seemingly desolate future that was laid bare before him. This town picked me off of my feet, and after somehow getting through Pima Community College, the University of Arizona took me in like one of its own last January. In just the ten months that it has allowed me on campus, every single dream and ambition

that I even considered has come true, like getting to cover football, basketball and all the other sports that this university has allowed me to cover, as well as getting to go to Summer League, and this past weekend getting to tour ESPN while capping the same day off by having my own seat in the Rose Bowl press box. I have permanent bruises from constantly pinching myself. These things above are only possible because I am a Wildcat, but those deep-seated passions
are there because I grew up a Duck. Homecoming is a celebration of where you come from and where you are going, an annual weekend-long, on-campus festival that helps you remember your roots. The roots of my young life face off in Arizona Stadium at the end of this week, and I’ll be enjoying every second of it. — David Skinner is a proud Oregonian who happens to cover Arizona Athletics.
Think ahead to the class reunion in 2070 OPINION
BY TONI MARCHEVA @ToniToniToni_M
U
sually, Homecoming Week passes by before undergraduates give it a second thought. The events aren’t for us — we’re already home. The ones who do think about it might say it’s pointless or that it’s just another way for the Alumni Association to make money. However, Homecoming should have a bigger impact on the consciences of undergraduates than anyone else. This year, the University of Arizona welcomes back the class of 1968 for their 50-year reunion. It must be so exciting for these graduates to relive some of their favorite memories, see how things are the same and how others have changed (I mean, in 1968 construction hadn’t even begun on McKale Memorial Center!) Homecoming is also a time for
them to see where their lives have taken them, through their families, careers and different small and large ways they have changed the world. However, their fifty years have passed. Everything they are remembering now is done and cannot be changed. Our fifty years haven’t started yet. We can decide what our lives will look like and what stories we’ll tell when we reconvene around 2070. That number scares me a lot, but it’s probably no more daunting to us than 2018 was for twenty-year-olds in 1968. If we think about 2070 now, we can start envisioning the world we want to see. Of course, we can’t predict new developments and technologies — how many in 1968 would have guessed they would have a computer in their pockets by their 50-year reunion? Our hopes can still be constructive, though. I can hope, in 2070, to live in a country that is less divided among people who care about educating their youth. I want to live in a world that is already well into reversing the effects of
climate change and where the Southwest has guaranteed water for generations to come. I want to see a world that spends less time running and more time living and laughing together; a world where people get to know their neighbors. And teleportation would be cool too. When I come back in 2070, I want to see a world in better shape than where I found it. I don’t want to see the younger generations burdened with more uncertainty and instability than I inherited. None of us individually can do too much to change the state of the world. However, an entire campus and an entire country thinking ahead to its 50-year reunion can change so much. Instead of letting Homecoming pass you by this year, imagine, even for only THE DAILY WILDCAT a few minutes, what you want to be A PHOTO OF THE Student Union Memorial Center thinking about when you walk around during Homecoming Week in 1968. This year is the campus in 2070. Start intentionally class of 1968s’ 50-year reunion. aiming for it. Now is not too early; I can imagine that most of the homecomers — Toni Marcheva hopes to impact the can attest that 50 years will pass by before world one college student at a time we know it. as a professor of economics.

Best of both worlds OPINION
BY ROB KLEIFIELD @RobKleifield
H
omecoming weekend is filled with festivities, ranging from special affairs on campus to events honoring alumni. But not everybody gets to partake in the fun. Student-athletes are often the outliers when it comes to participating in certain functions, typically because they have their own set of responsibilities to attend to. For instance, football players’ Homecoming experience is much different than that of most other students. As a freshman on the football team in 2015, I realized that Homecoming weekend was nearly the same as every other. Although there was a noticeable increase of energy and bodies around campus, the week of preparation felt no different than any other during the fall semester. I attended classes, workouts, meetings and practice with the same focus and attitude. On game day, I recognized a slight increase in attendance in the stands, but I’d be lying if I said it made any difference. For me, Homecoming weekend was just another excuse for my entire family to travel down to Tucson and catch up with me after the game. I’m sure that they enjoyed the many amenities on campus and around town while I headed to the stadium to wait for my team’s afternoon kickoff versus Washington State, but my own recollection of Homecoming weekend was overshadowed by our team’s narrow defeat. Despite not being able to experience any of the festivities that occurred on campus, I suppose there were a few highlights for myself and my fellow teammates that other students weren’t exposed to.
As a football player, it was exciting to see an influx of Arizona alumni return to their old stomping grounds and pay respects to the program that helped mold them into successful pros, whether they played pro football or had an exciting career elsewhere. At the time, I couldn’t expect much more. I was playing the game I loved surrounded by people with a similar passion and we were fortunate enough to take the field with a purpose. For us, Homecoming weekend would be deemed a success or failure based purely on the game’s outcome. And that’s truthfully all anybody could ask for. Seeing things from the other side of the spectrum, now that I’m no longer a student-athlete, has certainly opened my eyes to another side of college life , one that honestly isn’t available to football players, or likely any other student-athletes. Last fall, which was my first semester back on campus since ending my playing days, I experienced what I presume every other college student is fortunate enough to do during Homecoming weekend. I ate food, guzzled drinks and laughed alongside family, friends and Arizona grads that were in town to do one thing in particular: reminisce on their heydays. I won’t say that one experience was better than the other. I wouldn’t trade my time with the football team for anything in the world, but I can admit that each was an entirely different experience. That’s what’s unique about being a student-athlete, though. You’re presented with opportunities that really no one else can relate to. And, if you’re a part of a team for the right reasons, then it doesn’t matter what is going on outside of that circle. I guess looking back, I’m grateful to have experienced the best of both worlds.
