teampunk is taking over Old Tucson this weekend at the Wild Wild West Con 4 Steampunk Convention and Festival. Steampunk artists, fanatics and novices will come together to celebrate the science fiction/fantasy subgenre and the community that embraces it.

Steampunk is a type of artistic genre based on a Victorian Era perception of the future.

In this era, steam power was the pinnacle of technology, so if someone from that time period were to imagine what the future would look like, steam power would be central to their vision. Flying vehicles, artificially intelligent robots and other futuristic technologies were imagined to one day be powered by steam.

The term “steampunk” was coined in 1985 by author Kevin Wayne Jeter when describing the genre of his and his fellow subgenre authors’ novels.

This perception of the future has obviously not taken hold in contemporary society, as we have developed electricity and other forms of energy in place of steam power, making steampunk a hybrid of the future and the past.

The genre began in books and films but has made its way into 2-D and 3-D art, fashion, engineering, music and even lifestyles for some.

“I really like the aesthetic of retrofuturism,” said Chloe Loos, sophomore studying film and television and theatre. “Steampunk’s interesting to me, because it’s more utopian and positive [than other subgenres], but it can

The steampunk community has been present in Tucson for many years through the Arizona Steampunk Society. The organization holds gatherings throughout the year for steampunk enthusiasts to meet and share ideas, and the group eventually decided to hold an annual convention.

The backdrop for steampunk is often either the Victorian Era or the American West, since both societies heavily utilized steam power. So, the AZSPS decided to host its convention at Old Tucson. The recreated Western town and theme park fit the steampunk aesthetic better

than the typical hotel ballroom or convention center where other steampunk gatherings are often held. The theme of this year’s show is mad scientists, so most panels and events will have some elements tying into that concept.

“It’s a huge variety of different things all centered around our mad scientist theme and the notion of steampunk,” said Jason Drotman, the co-owner and operations director of the convention.

Drotman has been involved with the festival since its first year in 2011 as the director of marketing. The convention skipped a year in 2012, and a second convention was hosted the

year after. Drotman took co-ownership starting in the third year with fellow co-owner and director of entertainment Diana Given.

This year’s convention is scheduled to be packed with events, panels, vendors, contests and more between Friday and Sunday. From 10 a.m.-6 p.m. throughout the weekend, there will be over 80 panels and workshops; over 60 vendors, various performers and artists; a fashion show; children’s activities and special guests.

Two nighttime concerts featuring various steampunk bands will be held today and Saturday and have already sold out. As there are many events to choose from, attendees should check out the online schedule before visiting in order to find out what to view.

The convention is open to seasoned steampunk lovers and curious newcomers alike, and one- and three-day convention passes are available online at a discounted price and at the door.

“Steampunk has something for everybody,” Given said.

Given’s favorite aspect of the convention is seeing the various costumes that people create and wear, but she also emphasized that costumes are not required, and those new to the steampunk scene need not worry about their attire.

“If you’re new to steampunk or just curious about steampunk, come on and check it out,” Given said.

Zoo or ZonaZoo, Tucson’s cats are wild Victoria Tepltiz

A

bout 10 years ago, a group of construction workers were flattening the ground to put up foundation.

At the construction site, they accidentally crushed a bobcat den. All of the bobcats were killed during the incident, except for one — Wilbur.

Only a few weeks old, the kitten was taken to the Tucson Wildlife Center. The bobcat hadn’t only lost his family to a bulldozer, but had also sustained a head injury that would leave him epileptic for the rest of his life.

“Wilbur can no longer live in the wild, because he receives anti-seizure medication every day,” said Dan Moxley, the interim director of the Tucson Wildlife Center.

According to Moxley, the TWC assisted over 1600 animals in 2014.

“Our whole purpose is to get the animals back out into the wild after they are healed,” Moxley said.

Recently, a cormorant found in Patagonia Lake was brought in with a 3-inch fishing lure lodged into the back of its throat.

“The bird had first [mistaken] it for a real fish,” Moxley said.

“Fortunately, we were able to get it out of him in time, and he is alive and well today.”

Lisa Bates and Peter Liniger established the center in 1998.

Licensed under the Arizona Game and Fish Department, the center is sponsored entirely by donations. It is currently seeking funds in an effort to expand, as more space would be highly beneficial for the animals and workers.

Like Wilbur, there are many animals known as rescues, meaning they will never see the wild again due to various disabilities. Though they won’t be out in the wilderness again, they have been given the purpose of making an impact on people.

Christopher Dobrzenski, a volunteer at TWC, said he has a special relationship with the peregrine falcon.

“He will climb on my glove on a regular basis,” Dobrzenski said.

The peregrine falcon has the highest airspeed velocity, making it the fastest bird in the world. It is especially unusual for a bird of its nature to bond with a human.

A LOCAL SPECIES of Arizona wildcat. Wilbur, a bobcat, is the real-life version of the UA’s mascot, and is currently taken care of at the Tucson Wildlife Center.

“I can walk right in here, and he will let me touch him,” Dobrzenski said. “He is not like that with anyone else.”

The UA’s mascot, Wilbur the Wildcat, may be more familiar with rowdy fans than wild animals, but he is glad the Tucson Wildlife Center is taking care of his non-mascot counterparts.

“I’m really happy my fellow animal friends are taken care of by [the Tucson] Wildlife Center,” Wilbur said. “It means a lot to me that our community is so active and caring for the wildlife out here in Tucson.”

According to Arizona Athletic’s article “Wilbur the Wildcat’s Historic Beginning,” on Nov. 7, 1914, the university claimed the name “Wildcats” after a game played against the Occidental College Tigers. Bill Henry, a Los Angeles Times contributor, wrote that the UA “showed the fight of

wild cats.”

With claws of steel and a mind of strength, Wilbur, the Tucson Wildlife Center’s bobcat, continues to power through, refusing to be restrained as a true Wildcat. In Wilbur’s den area at the center, he has a basketball that he enjoys playing with.

PLAY REVIEW

Recreating ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Arizona Theatre Company’s rendition of the Shakespeare play will have audiences swooning Anna Mae Ludlum

T

he tale of these two star-crossed lovers is so globally well-known, expectations run high and are rarely matched as professional productions tend to slip into the mediocrity of a high school production.

The Arizona Theatre Company’s “Romeo and Juliet,” directed by Kirsten Brandt, doesn’t suffer this fate.

The two titular characters are often portrayed on stage by 20-somethings as whiny, petulant and brimming with sacrificial love. This quick diametric shift is usually when the true age of the actors are revealed, shattering the illusion.

Chelsea Kurtz and Paul David Story portray their characters with believable chemistry, the awkwardness of first love and youthful inexperience, establishing a refreshing perspective on Shakespeare’s 400-year-old text.

The infamous balcony scene is made delightfully adorable, because the dialogue is delivered without the soulful exchanges of mature lovers. Rather, it conjures memories of the trepidation in voice and demeanor when confessing feelings to a crush.

The play takes place in 1960s Verona, Italy, when ideas of gender and familial roles shifted between generations, and it plays well in the traditional Capulet family storyline, as Juliet’s father, Capulet (Kevin Black), arranges her marriage to Paris (Kyle Sorrell).

Black’s Capulet isn’t ready to lose his hierarchal status and is an intimidating presence. Capulet’s undercurrent of fury bubbling beneath each scene signals he is not a man to undermine.

Black, a UA theater professor, shares the stage with nine other UA theater students working alongside Richard Baird, a modern master of Shakespearean acting. This is Baird’s 49th Shakespeare production, and his transitions from the sickly Montague, the robust Mercutio and the hippie-dippie herbal enthusiast Friar Laurence are remarkable to behold.

Friar Laurence’s knowledge of herbs and botany is put to comedic use for a small moment in private to take a little toke of potent grass. The Friar is equally as enjoyable to watch as Baird’s Mercutio, who is full of humor and welldressed swagger with a gravitas voice so hypnotizing, it is a wonder Juliet doesn’t lust for him.

His uncanny ability to make lines such as, “The ship, sir, the slip; can you not conceive?” roll off his tongue effortlessly with inflections clarify Shakespeare’s

meaning and demonstrate his profound insight on archaic Elizabethan language.

Juliet’s Nurse (Leslie Law) spins her dialogue with randy enthusiasm and sharp wit, casting aside any preconceptions that the Nurse ought to be matronly and prudent. She is stylish and joyous, balancing her sauciness through her tender bond with Juliet.

The actors took calculated risks in the interpretation of their characters that thoroughly paid off, and the scenic design certainly joined in the experiment.

The set consists of many rear projection

screens that project various crisp images, such as forests, neighborhoods, and — in the case of Juliet’s bedroom — period frescoes overlapped with a cinema poster of “La Dolce Vita” and James Dean.

Put to impressive use by scenic, lighting and projections designer David Lee Cuthbert, the screens added dramatic flair during the fight between Romeo and Tybalt. After Romeo stabs Tybalt and whips the knife out backwards, the screen splatters with a startling streak of blood.

The entire production was well-

executed; it took every tired element seen in other productions and added a special twist.

Mopeds, visual effects and the talented ensemble doubling as onstage musicians set this show apart from all other theatrical attempts of “Romeo and Juliet.”

If marveling at this phenomenal interpretation is a sin, then, in the words of Romeo, you just might find yourself saying, “Give me my sin again.”

“Romeo and Juliet” will run at the Arizona Theatre Company through March 21.

Dalí and Warhol on display at new UAMA exhibition

hat do Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol have in common? Besides the obvious fact they are both artists, the two will also have their pieces featured in new exhibits at the UA Museum of Art beginning Friday.

In order to promote the opening of these two exhibits, “Beauties: The Photography of Andy Warhol” and “Salvador Dalí: Our Historical Heritage,” the art museum will host an event titled “Friday Night Art.” “It’s a fun evening of art, music, dance, activities and lectures to celebrate the openings of the exhibits,” said Gina CompitelloMoore, marketing manager for the art museum. “It’s also a nice way to showcase the museum for those who have not visited before.”

Some entertainment throughout the night will include a participatory Exquisite Corpse, where multiple artists add to a rotating composition, dancers from Fluxx Studio and music from DJ Buttafly. Other activities will include a scavenger hunt, a raffle for memberships for the art museum, refreshments from On A Roll and a photo booth.

Friday Night Art is a new event, though at times, the art museum does hold other events when large exhibits are first opened. These exhibits, specifically the Warhol display, have been a work in progress for years.

“I started working on research and putting the show together in June of 2014,” said Erica Gilliland, art history graduate student

and guest curator of the Warhol exhibit. “While the majority of the exhibition is from the UAMA’s permanent collection gifted by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program in 2008, several pieces have been lent to the UAMA by UA dance professor Douglas Nielsen.”

This exhibit has been in the making for seven years and also includes a Polaroid Big Shot Camera on display, which was lent to the art museum by the Center for Creative Photography; this was Warhol’s camera of choice.

There will also be lectures beginning at 5 p.m. allowing visitors to learn more about the art museum and art in general.

Martina Shenal, School of Art interim director, will be at the event to discuss her own artwork. Gilliland will also talk about the process of acquiring Warhol’s work.

The final lecturer of the night will be Ed Warner, a docent at the art museum, who will guide visitors through the 15th century painting The Visitation by the Master of the Catholic Kings.

Friday Night Art will run from 5-7 p.m. at the art museum.

Admission is free for museum members, UA and Pima staff, students, and faculty with valid IDs. Visitors with Tribal IDs, Snap Cards or Military IDs will also be treated to free admission.

Donations will be accepted toward the art museum’s education programs and exhibits.

Vince Vaughn’s transformation onand off-screen Patrick O’Connor

M COURTESY OF JESSICA MIGLIO / TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION

VINCE VAUGHN as Dan Truckman, Nick Frost as Bill Whilmsley and Tom Wilkinson as Timothy McWinters enjoy a rare moment of celebration during a make-or-break business trip in “Unfinished Business.” The movie premieres Friday.

Q&A with Nick Frost Alex Guyton

N

ick Frost, known for famed British cult comedy trilogy “Three Flavours Cornetto” comes stateside for more American fare.

Frost, who starred alongside Simon Pegg in “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz” and “The World’s End,” finds himself among the likes of Vince Vaughn, Dave Franco, Tom Wilkinson, Sienna Miller and James Marsden in “Unfinished Business.” Frost plays Bill Whilmsley, who Frost describes as “jovial and a little bit sad and single and lonely” but, ultimately, “just a bloody good egg.”

Daily Wildcat: You’ve starred in various British comedies.

However, “Unfinished Business” is more American. To you, how do the comedic styles differ, and if they do, how does that influence how you approach a role?

Frost: I think, generally, even though obviously a script is always going to be important for a film, for a movie, I think over with you guys, you’re always keen to improvise a

little more and find things in the script that perhaps weren’t there before. I think, as an actor … you have to come on set A) knowing your lines but B) knowing that at one point, that script’s going to go away, and you get to freewheel it slightly, which is, when you’re working with [Franco], and [Wilkinson], and [Vaughn], and [Marsden] and [Miller], they’re all such clever actors. It’s good doing improvisations with actors who can do improvisations. A lot of improv always ends up with people having an argument, and it’s kind of ego-driven in terms of sometimes one actor doesn’t want to let the other actor get the last word in a scene. It can become very confusing, but everyone on this picture was very generous in terms of improvising.

What was one example on-set when your director helped you to realize something about the scene, or your character, that you hadn’t realized previously?

Oh dear. You know what? I have no answer for that question, to be perfectly honest. It’s just never happened like that where the director says, “Hey, what about

— ?” I mean, for me personal, on this, there was no bell rung and I said, “Oh my God, of course!”

You hopefully try to work all that out before you start shooting, you know.

What movies in theaters — say, over the past six months — have you most enjoyed watching or have been most been impressed with?

I loved “Nightcrawler.” I really liked “The Babadook.” You know what, weirdly, I watched “Annabelle” and really loved it. I thought it was frightening and really nicely directed. It was really clever the way he kind of harvested the fear on the screen.

I loved “Fury.” I watched that film last week and I hadn’t seen it before, and I thought it was fantastic. I thought [Brad Pitt’s] fantastic in that. “Birdman” we watched, which I liked very much.

You know, there’s kind of being a dearth of great movies out in the last eight months or so.

uch like his character Dan Trunkman in his upcoming movie “Unfinished Business,” Vince Vaughn is undergoing a career transformation. In the movie, Trunkman is a frustrated cubicle jockey who decides to stake his own claim by starting his own business. Vaughn is beginning a similar transition.

Since his R-rated smash hit “Wedding Crashers” debuted in 2005, the past decade has been filled with a plethora of PG-13 comedies starring Vaughn, such as “The Internship,” “Couples Retreat” and “Four Christmases.” With 2012’s “The Watch” and 2015’s “Unfinished Business,” Vaughn is once again embracing R-rated comedies.

The rejects and outcasts from his previous employer populate Trunkman’s new company. Mike Pancake (Dave Franco) happened to be interviewing at Trunkman’s old company when he publicly quit, and his only job experience is working at Foot Locker. Timothy McWinters (Tom Wilkinson) was being forced out of the company because of his old age.

Fast forward one year, and Trunkman and colleagues are about to close a giant deal. On their way to finalize the details, they find out they are actually competing with Trunkman’s old company, led by his former boss, Chuck Portnoy (Sienna Miller).

“I guess I relate more to the underdogs in life, personally,” Vaughn said in an online group interview.

“What I like about the movie is that these guys are in a position that they don’t like in life. They are involved in a job that they are not passionate about. And, in a moment, [Trunkman] pushes all in and thinks that things could be different.”

This new business deal forces them to travel all the way to Berlin, Germany, where they have to maneuver around protesters at the G8 summit and one of Europe’s largest BDSM and leather

conferences, Folsom Europe. Along the way, Vaughn’s character is also trying to be a good father to his family despite being a continent away.

Much like his character in “Unfinished Business,” Vaughn himself is an underdog. His first break as an actor came in high school when he was cast in an industrial film. As a teenager, he used his 6-foot-5 stature to sneak into Chicago bars to participate in improv comedy.

Vaughn packed his bags after graduating from high school and moved to Los Angeles, Calif., to be an actor.

“I was always drawn to storytelling and creative things,” Vaughn said.

“I didn’t really understand that you could make a living out of it.”

In LA, Vaughn competed for roles and found his way onto television in shows such as “21 Jump Street” and “Doogie Howser, M.D.” His first appearance on the big screen was the critically-acclaimed sports drama, “Rudy.” The constant struggle to find roles translated well into Vaughn’s first big hit, “Swingers,” which documents the misadventures of a group of young, aspiring actors in Hollywood.

Vaughn is widely known for his goofy comedic roles, but some of his first roles were in dramas. Vaughn is exploring his dramatic side again in a leading role in the second season of HBO’s “True Detective.”

“I’m kind of returning on some level to dramas, which was the first thing I broke out with,” Vaughn said. “Now that I’ve done comedies, people feel like that’s a switch. I feel really excited to get on a different tone.”

Vaughn and his “Unfinished Business” character may have a lot in common, but luckily for Vaughn’s fans, they don’t share one key element.

“While I think the idea of it is fantastic, I don’t have any plans of retiring and starting a full-time business,” Vaughn said.

“Unfinished Business” premieres Friday.

WILDCAT WEEKEND • 7

Cool bands you’ve probably never heard of Caren Badtke After presenting you the best newcomers from the UK in last week’s Wildcat Weekend, it only seems right to deliver the North American equivalents. This year seems heavily singer-songwriter influenced; however, great hip-hop, electronic and garage rock acts spice up the mix.

Tobias Jesso Jr

What it sounds like: Hyperromanticized yet cool ’70s singersongwriter tunes with an interesting voice to match.

Why it’s cool: Jimmy Fallon personally invited Vancouver-native Jesso after seeing one of his videos on the Internet. And, in the words of the singer’s recent tour campaign, “You can’t miss Tobias Jesso Jr. He’s 6-foot-7.”

Essential Listening: “How Could You Babe”

iLoveMakonnen

What it sounds like: Witty bedroomproduced hip-hop with high

aspirations and club appeal.

Why it’s cool: Makonnen and Drake got the club going up on a Tuesday.

Essential Listening: “I Don’t Sell Molly No More”

Father John Misty

What it sounds like: Blunt singersongwriter music that combines traditional instruments and curse words.

Why it’s cool: Drummer-in-aband-turned-idol. Ex-Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman played the single “Bored In The USA” from his second album on Fallon and delivered a weird comedic performance that had the audience at a loss for words.

He openly calls himself a “creepy middle-aged man” on Instagram.

Essential Listening: “I Love You, Honeybear”

Waxahatchee

What it sounds like: Vulnerable, acoustic female vocalist.

Why it’s cool: The Alabama-born singer recently signed to cultlabel Merge records for her highly anticipated third album, Ivy Tripp, which will be released on April 7.

Last year, she went on tour with Jenny Lewis.

Essential Listening: “Swan Dive”

Shamir

What it sounds like: Hot Chip meets tUnE-yArDs on speed.

Why it’s cool: The 20-year-old Nevada native went from being completely unknown to No. 11 on the “Tracks-of-the-Year” list on Pitchfork. His funk/R&B crossover and androgynous voice make for heavily danceable hits.

Essential Listening: “If It Wasn’t True”

Public Access T.V.

What it sounds like: Upbeat indierock, The Beatles-y harmonies and melodious electric guitars.

Why it’s cool: The NYC band was the talk of town long before anyone knew its name. By sending out secret SoundCloud links leading to unnamed songs, it captured the attention of the whole scene. The band has got a name now, but it’s still wholly opposed to every step toward commercialization, because Public Access T.V. don’t give a damn about

the “template you’re supposed to follow.”

Essential listening: “In The Mirror”

Twin Peaks

What it sounds like: ’80s Garage Rock with modern psychedelic streaks and heavy guitar solos.

Why it’s cool: The band got together in high school. As of recently, most of the members still live with their parents. Twin Peaks are as youthful

as they are energetic, giving them a great vibe. They’re named after David Lynch’s cult TV series, which will finally have a comeback season next year. Perfect timing.

Essential listening: “Making Breakfast”

Album Review

Purity Ring’s ‘pretty but hollow second album’

A

Caren Badtke

fter releasing its debut Shrines in 2012, Purity Ring, the Canadian duo consisting of songwriter and frontwoman Megan James and instrumentalist Corin Roddick, has given itself three years to write, produce, announce and finally release its follow-up album, Another Eternity. In the meantime, both contemporary hip-hop-influenced pop music and Purity Ring have taken a couple of steps toward each other, allowing for a potential mainstream appeal that couldn’t be reached before.

Purity Ring has always been a package deal of sonic, visual and artistic elements. This time, on Another Eternity, the duo makes a point of skipping capital letters. On Shrines, it created abstract terms by combining words such as “belly” and “speak” into the song title “Belispeak,” or “Saltkin,” a combination of “salt” and “skin.”

In their shows, James and Roddick are notorious sticklers, personally making ensuring that their special light show is set up and functioning to perfection. They entrance the audience with a spectacle, having lanterns light up every time percussionist Roddick hits a certain note.

Whereas their artistic development is flourishing, their musical evolution falls into the second-album trap. James is still

good with words, but the novelty that accompanied their debut is gone. The duo has come up with 10 more or less good tracks that appear thinner and hollow compared to the debut. James still addresses romantic motifs and stays consistent in her lyrical persona speaking to a lover, while simultaneously portraying the iconic figure of a little girl in a horror movie: sweet, alien and creepy.

“You push and you pull but you’d never know I crept up in you, and I wouldn’t let go,” she sings on “Push Pull,” which is, along with the thick, piano-induced “Bodyache,” one of the better songs on Another Eternity.

The flaws that make the sophomore weaker than the debut continue in the instrumentation. The songs are still the synthdriven electronic music with a subtle percussion that graced Shrines, though they are less abstract in their appeal. As Pitchfork’s music-guru Ian Cohen has pointed out, some songs on the album could serve as backing tracks for Miley Cyrus’ next chart topper or as Drake’s next tape.

This is where the evolution of contemporary pop comes in: Thanks to artists such as Cyrus, bands such as Chvrches gaining mainstream recognition, and the integration of EDM in everyday life, the charts have become more inclusive. Our ears embrace new styles to an extent where generic pop becomes a fresh, appreciated break from what’s normal every now and then.

The problem with Another Eternity is that it is too time fitting.

4AD

The alien effect that made its predecessor into “future pop” is gone. We’re in the future now — at least musically. While this wouldn’t have to be a problem, per se, and it could even land the band wide recognition and mainstream appeal, Another Eternity seems to remain on the doorstep, failing to embrace its full potential. Instrumentations are too extensive and thin at times, with repetition and one too many fillers not making for much substance.

As an overall experience, Another Eternity is no less than nice electropop. However, the band is lost in a no man’s land between critical acclaim and mainstream recognition, delivering a pretty but hollow second album.

No Cullens in new vampire mockumentary Elise McClain

V

ampires are now the reanimated byproducts of Hollywood franchises.

Through rudimentary understanding of contemporary horror lore, the average moviegoer is bound to construct a clichéd sensibility of what these bloodsuckers represent: carousing, cape-wearing, neck-biting, sparkling, eternal creatures of the night.

The reality, however, is that the contemporary world is not always hospitable to the supernatural. At the end of the day, being a vampire bites.

In new film “What We Do in the Shadows,” the life of a vampire is portrayed as less than glamorous.

Following four vampires as they prepare for the annual Unholy Masquerade, “What We Do in the Shadows” chronicles the unlikely, undead housemates as they grapple with the mundane, such as doing dishes and paying rent. From squabbling over fashion trends and household chores to antagonizing

local werewolves and dealing with strict diets, this foursome reveals the inner workings of a nefarious vampire den.

It stars New Zealand comedians Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, who you may recognize from such ventures as “Flight of the Conchords” and “Eagle vs Shark”; “What We Do in the Shadows” delivers a film about the unspoken struggles associated with vampiredom. The film marries the fantastical with the commonplace and capitalizes on the tropes of the genre.

“It’s a mockumentary about a family of vampires sharing a house,” said Jeff Yanc, program director at The Loft Cinema. “A film crew follows each member of the household and documents all the vampire antics they get themselves into. They play out the reality show concept well. It feels almost real when you’re watching the film. …

It’s the kind of comedic horror the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise tried to be.”

This film bites into the same vein as “This is Spinal Tap” and works to create a vampire mansion-esque, “Real World” spoof.

According to Clement in an interview with “NPR Morning Edition,” “What We Do in the Shadows” strives to document the “centuries-long struggles” of being a vampire to produce “a mockumentary about something you couldn’t document.”

Attributed with a sharp sense of quintessentially dry New Zealand humor, “What We Do in the Shadows” details the humdrum routine of being undead.

“It pokes fun at a lot of clichés,”

EVENTS

Yanc said. “As I was watching it, I couldn’t help but think that it’ll be hard to go back and watch any other vampire films, because it makes so much fun of them.”

The film gained plenty of momentum in the festival circuit and premiered February in box offices across the country.

Following media hype, The Guardian, Indiewire and Vanity Fair credit this film as “laughout-loud funny” and a “fresh perspective” on the movie

industry’s vampire formula, to make for bloody good fun.

“A lot of times, especially with comedies, they use all the best scenes in the trailer to attract audiences,” Yanc said. “That’s not true here; this movie is funny throughout. ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ has high Internet visibility, stellar reviews and growing word of mouth.

Viewers seem really excited we’re showing it.”

At The Loft, the film initially opened for its preview screening at 10 p.m. Thursday. The Loft begins general admission showings at 3 p.m. on Friday.

“It’s utterly ridiculous, which is, of course, part [of ] the allure,” Yanc said. “The movie is sure to attract the college crowd, horror fans, comedy fans and ‘Flight of the Conchords’ fans. … You should expect to have a genuinely good time watching this movie.”

‘House of Cards’ as visionary as FDR Season three of the award-winning Netflix hit shows audiences who the true power behind the Underwood presidency is

I

Ashwin Mehra

f there’s one thing Frank Underwood is good at, it’s rationalizing the obscene into the palatable.

Or at least, that’s what Heather Dunbar (Elizabeth Marvel) tells him after she announces that she’ll be running against him for the presidency in season three of “House of Cards,” which still manages to bring a strong hand to the table and plays it as carefully as Frank would.

The season starts off with Frank’s (Kevin Spacey) ascension to the presidency thanks to the aid of his staff and, most importantly, his wife, Claire (Robin Wright). Starting in the middle of a term, though, means campaigning for re-election soon, and the Democratic leadership refuses to support him. Seemingly no one likes him. So, Frank makes a gamble and decides to falsely announce that he won’t be running, preferring to focus on America Works, his employment plan for the U.S. America Works is an odd thing, and the way “House of Cards” presents it is even odder.

Frank, a Democrat, declares to the public that they are entitled to nothing. “AmWorks” strips away social security, Medicare and Medicaid, using the savings to incentivize employers to hire. When Congress refuses, Frank funds it by seizing funds appropriated to FEMA — a rocksolid plan, unless, of course, a hurricane hits.

(Hint: It does. Sort of.)

Here, “House of Cards” takes its first and only misstep. The show seems intent on equating its fictional Congress with America’s

real one. Frank turns to the camera at one point and comments on how little Congress does, but while that may be true in reality, it rings hollow in the show — especially since real-life politicians have commented on how weirdly effective the show’s legislators are.

But Frank isn’t really the focal point of season three. Rather, everyone else is.

First, there’s Russian President Viktor Petrov (Lars Mikkelsen), a thinly veiled caricature of real-life President Vladimir Putin.

Like Putin, Petrov even has shirtless photo-ops. Petty at times and as conniving as Frank, Mikkelsen’s performance is nothing short of amazing. His relationship with Frank gets sourer misstep after misstep, making him one of the better parts of the season.

Even more intriguing, however, is Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly). Stamper has survived his attack by Rachel Posner (Rachel Brosnahan) last season, but his obsession with her isn’t over. He has her tracked down and struggles with his alcoholism.

After the attack, Frank doesn’t seem to want Doug back, so Doug pretends to give information to Dunbar — only to funnel it back to Frank. It pays off in the end; Doug finds (and kills) Rachel and becomes Frank’s chief of staff once more.

The most important character in the show, however, is Claire Underwood. Claire seems to have been shuttled around in the past two seasons based on the plot’s whim, and at first, this seems true in the beginning of season three. She has Frank appoint her as ambassador to the U.N. because she wants to start her own career. It’s a strange step; she hasn’t mentioned wanting the position before and has practically no foreign policy experience — something which many characters point out.

Claire’s arc, though, redeems what seems like bad writing.

“House of Cards” is Frank’s show; Claire is constantly overshadowed, and she can’t stand it. She tells Frank in a moment of anger that she should never have made him president, and the fact is, it’s true. He’s president because of her. Claire ends up with nothing, her ambitions have fallen by the wayside so Frank can sit in the Oval Office — which Claire reminds him only has one seat.

Frank treats his relationship with Claire like any other he has: He tells her that she’ll do what he wants and like it. It’s something he does with many characters over the season and show, and here, it finally falls apart. Claire leaves him, and so does Frank’s chief of staff.

“Season three might not have been an Abraham Lincoln, but it’s certainly no William Henry Harrison.”

Season three frequently makes references to former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt. Their relationship closely parallels the Underwoods’; Claire is as ambitious as Eleanor was and Frank as powerful as FDR, and both care strongly about their legacy. In one of the most poignant scenes of the season, Frank visits FDR’s memorial in Washington. There, he sees Eleanor’s statue standing alone, separated from FDR by a wall, and fears he and Claire will become just as separated.

It’s not presidential worries that ends up building that wall, however. It’s Frank himself.

Like any classic, “House of Cards” is about hubris, and Frank is soon going to pay the price for his — assuming there is a season four, which Netflix hasn’t yet announced.

One thing is clear: Frank’s political career is over, all because he stopped respecting the person who gave it to him.

Season three might not have been an Abraham Lincoln, but it’s certainly no William Henry Harrison, either. The writers have proven themselves more than capable of bringing forward the drama of past seasons. Frank wants people to line up to pay their respects to him; “House of Cards” might actually end up getting that. The show ends up being nothing short of an FDR — strong, powerful and visionary, though contentious and, perhaps, even powerhungry.

ny customer unfamiliar with Exo Roast Company’s background and mission would easily label it as just another “hipster wannabe” coffee shop. It has the quintessential qualities: brick walls stained with different types of paint; black and white photographs mounted in vintage frames; rustic wood floors and tables scuffed from time; a shelf overloaded with a collection of records. And in case anyone thought the records were just for show, a record player sits nearby — slowing the pace of the shop with its soft melody.

Certainly, a young “flower child” sporting an Urban Outfitters plaid T-shirt and some Birkenstocks would fit in perfectly. But there is something more radical happening beneath the surface of this coffee shop that makes it more than just another bohemian hangout. In fact, it is a story that begins long before a cup of coffee is even served. It starts on the farm.

According to Doug Smith, one of the owners of Exo Roast Company, the beans Exo uses come from farms all over the world — from Central America to South America to Africa to Indonesia. When it comes to accepting or rejecting beans, Smith’s standards are pretty stringent.

“I do all the sourcing, which means that I investigate all the coffees that we’re interested in,” Smith said. “I make selections either by roasting some samples that brokers send me or [by] … just knowing what different brokers have to offer. The point is I’m very careful about what we purchase, and I want to make sure we have a pretty wide variety of coffee.”

In addition to his selective process of choosing beans,

Smith said he is acutely mindful of the conditions on the farms from which they are obtaining their beans. Striving for social justice in the world of coffee, Smith said Exo is trying to reform the business for farmers.

“The coffee economy is notorious for being unjust to farmers,” Smith said. “In Mexico, most farmers sell their coffees to local middlemen who pay them just terrible prices … starvation prices. Under the best of circumstances, even if a farm … has fair trade … they still just barely can afford to make it. It’s not a lucrative thing, and we want to change that.”

In order to accomplish this, Smith said Exo buys beans from programs such as Coffee Shrub, which give better prices, Fair Trade prices or higher, to farmers. Currently, Exo is getting more directly involved with farmers in Costa Rica and Mexico.

“We’re helping farmers with quality control, enhancing quality, so that they get paid a fair price for their coffee,” Smith said. “So, that involves some real, on-the-ground work at the farm level.”

Once the beans enter the coffee shop, the complex roasting and extracting processes begin.

“One thing you learn once you learn about the world of coffee is that different coffees have very different characteristics,” Smith said. “So, they all need to be roasted according to those characteristics in order to bring out the best of those coffees, and that almost always means not over-roasting.”

Smith said the perfect cup of coffee is born from intense precision and diligence on the part of the barista. For example, to create the ultimate espresso shot, every morning, a barista must carefully calibrate the grind and modify the water temperature, among several factors, in order for the shot to be just right. As the day proceeds,

all of those factors need to be reassessed and fixed as the climate and other variables change.

“We are very careful about training our baristas to extract [coffee] right,” Smith said. “Coffee needs to be purchased and roasted and extracted … to the best of one’s ability, so we make sure that happens.”

Shelly Hubman, a regular customer of Exo Roast Company, makes a visit to the shop almost every day and said her favorite drink is the “Americano.”

“I like the atmosphere,” Hubman said. “There are some good coffee shops in Tucson, but I think Exo has the best coffee. It’s consistently good. I like the music. [It’s] not too loud … as opposed to some coffee shops that blare really loud, very fast-paced music, and it’s hard for me to concentrate or relax.”

Exo owners said they want to educate their customers about the intricate process of how coffee is grown, roasted and extracted. Almost every Saturday, Exo Roast Company holds a “Public Cupping” where customers are invited to participate in a taste testing of five of its different coffees.

“I think the main takeaway for [the customers] is how different a really nice Ethiopian is from a really nice Guatemala,” Smith said. “It’s not just coffee. It’s very clear to you when you taste it how different they are.”

Smith made it clear that Exo is not just about making coffee. The company is about treating coffee-making as an art form — one that should be respectably practiced and widely appreciated.

SHRIMP TEMPURA roll at QQ Revolving on Thursday.

The goal — to find a meal within two miles of campus costing less than $15; join us each week for a new food find Jessie Webster For a long time, the sushi-loving student population was limited to one mediocre Japanese restaurant on campus. QQ Revolving seems destined to serve the same underwhelming food as its neighbor on University Boulevard.

QQ stands directly opposite the Islamic Center of Tucson on Tyndall Avenue in the first floor of The Hub apartment building. It is out of the way from the busier streets around campus but not difficult to locate. However, once inside, flavorful food is hard to find.

Sure, the standards are fine. The California and shrimp tempura rolls are average in every sense of the word — a little lackluster but definitely edible. The miso soup could be improved with a little more salt, but that is easily remedied with a splash of soy sauce.

The salad is little more than iceberg lettuce topped with a simple, but tasty, ginger-sesame dressing.

One can order regular rolls from the menu for a typical sushi price of $6 to $12 or take a more fun route and eat off the revolving conveyor belt whisking snack-sized plates of sushi, salads, fruits and Japanese Ramune sodas around the restaurant.

Though there were only six diners at lunch on a Thursday, if one is worried about not getting their pick of food, simply ask to sit closer to the start of the belt.

This food delivery system is very popular in other parts of the country, but QQ is currently the only revolving sushi restaurant in Tucson.

Those seeking lighter fare will enjoy this option.

A laminated card baring the name and a photo precedes the plates of food and identifies each dish. The food items are priced based on the color of the plate. The cheapest, a white plate, will set diners back $1.75, while the most expensive, a black plate, costs $5.25.

Four pieces of a rainbow roll costs $3.25, while “dynamite” mussels cost $2.25. The belt also brings around colorful, fresh fruit such as watermelon, oranges and pineapple. It is best to proceed with caution if choosing to eat via the conveyor belt, as the colorful plates — and the tab — can quickly grow.

The salvation of QQ is its wonderfully priced lunch specials. The above-mentioned food comes at the modest cost of $9. If two rolls will not satisfy a mightier appetite, a third roll will bring the total to $12.

If price is not incentive enough, the modern atmosphere and friendly service should build a loyal customer base.

All in all, QQ is not a “can’t” nor a “should miss.” If transportation is an option, it’s worth going a little more out of the way for better food, but in a pinch, QQ will more than suffice.

JAMIE MOLOFSKY, a general studies sophomore, brings her boyfriend, Connor Altizer, a visitor from Maryland, to Epic Cafe for a cup of coffee on Tuesday. Molofsky visits Epic Cafe around three times a week.

J O

E

pic Cafe is the kind of place that used to be really popular five years ago but has since been eclipsed and forgotten, which makes it incredibly fertile ground for a certain kind of hipster.

Despite its prime location at the intersection of University Boulevard and Fourth Avenue, students largely ignore Epic. On a recent weekday morning, five of the nine patrons were over 40, including a man in a cowboy hat and salt-and-pepper beard reading the newspaper while Johnny Cash played on the loudspeaker. So vintage.

The coffee is nothing to write home about, and the food is hit-ormiss. On this visit, the soup of the day is spinach garbonzo, watery and bland, but Epic’s breakfast

burritos and baked goods have been satisfying late-night cravings for years; it only closes between midnight and 6 a.m. every day, making it a good spot to settle in for longer homework projects. The large, empty space lends itself to club and study group meetings.

But, this is actually Epic’s appeal.

It serves some home-cooked food with some shitty coffee in a hilariously grimy and eclectic atmosphere — green walls, an oldfashioned counter display, ratty canoe-and-bear-patterned couches, knickknacks and wall art that follow no apparent theme; potted plants and chipped coffee mugs. (Mine has a beagle on it.) It’s a mix between your grandmother’s house and your first post-college crash pad, and by all accounts, it’s comforting.

For all the awful coffee and cheap decor, though, it would seem logical

for the merchandise to at least be cheap, too. It isn’t. A small coffee is $1.75, and a single shot of espresso is $1.80 — which seems to be the central paradox of hipster culture.

The worse a thing is, the cooler and more expensive it becomes, especially if it’s done on purpose.

Ultimately, though, Epic Cafe might not be doing it on purpose. It seems, perhaps, too genuinely unaffected and too truly unpretentious to hold onto any hipster cred. A hipster has to at least have some reason to care.

Still, the bald guy in the corner doing a crossword and eating apple crumble earns Epic at least two hipsters. He’s pretty cool.

Granola bars to get through midterms ANGELA LIDDON — OH SHE GLOWS

H

earty, chewy and crunchy, these wholesome granola bars will fill up the tank and keep your energy stable. If you are feeding the nutfree crowd, you can easily swap out the walnuts and almonds for more seeds so no one is left out!

Start to finish: 35 minutes (10 minutes prep time), plus about 30 minutes to cool Servings: 14-16 large bars

Ingredients:

• • • • • • • • • •

1½ cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 medium/large bananas) 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 cups rolled oats (use certified glutenfree, if necessary) ½-¾ cup dried cherries, chopped (I used ¾ cup) ½ cup walnuts, chopped ½ cup sunflower seeds ½ cup pepita seeds (shelled pumpkin seeds) ½ cup sliced almonds ¼ cup hulled hemp seeds 1 teaspoon cinnamon

•

¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or fine grain sea salt, or to taste

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a large rectangular baking dish (approximately 8.5 inches by 12.5 inches) and line with a piece of parchment paper so the bars are easier to lift out.

In a large bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.

Place the rolled oats into a food processor (or blender on the lowest speed), and pulse until the oats are coarsely chopped but still have a lot of texture. Stir oats into the banana mixture.

Chop the walnuts and cherries, and stir these and the rest of the ingredients into the bananaoat mixture until thoroughly combined.

Spoon mixture into prepared dish. Press down until compacted, and smooth out with hands until even. Use a pastry roller to smooth out if desired.

Bake for 23-27 minutes (I baked for 25 minutes) until firm, and lightly golden along the edge. Place dish on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then, carefully slide a knife to loosen the ends and lift out. Place granola slab on a cooling rack for 10 minutes and then into the freezer for another 10 minutes (if you are

impatient like me).

Slice into bars once they are cool.

Approximate nutritional information:

Per bar, based on 14 large bars using ½ cup dried sweetened cherries: 186 calories, 8.7 g fat, 22 g carbs, 4.7 g fiber, 6 g sugar, 6.6 g protein.

Without dried cherries: 166 calories and 3.6 g of sugar.

Tips:

To wrap these up for freezing, I wrapped the bars individually in parchment paper using

6-inch by 12-inch pieces of parchment. After wrapping up a bar, tie it with string or tape it to secure. Finally, place all of the bars into a freezer-safe ziplock bag, press out all the air and then seal it shut.

These bars aren’t super sweet, so if you prefer something sweeter, you can always add a touch of sweetener.

I also expect these would be great with chopped dark chocolate added in.

In his second-to-last home game in McKale Center, the fifth-year senior paced the Wildcats both offensively and defensively as Arizona (27-3, 15-2 Pac-12 Conference) clinched the outright Pac-12 championship for the second consecutive year.

“To be honest, I got the chills when I heard it,” McConnell said about the “MVP” chants. “It kind of just fired me up to show the support of the fans like that. I’ll say it a million times until I’m blue in the face: We have the absolute best fans in America, and that’ll never change. And they proved why since I’ve been here.”

By clinching the Pac-12 outright for the second straight season, these Wildcats became the first UA team in over 20 years to win backto-back conference championships, a feat Arizona forward Brandon Ashley struggled to express after the game.

“I don’t even know what to say. … It’s just like, with the University of Arizona, there’s been a ton of great players and great teams and everything,” Ashley said. “To be one of the first teams to go back-toback in quite some time, that’s big for us.”

McConnell ended the game by tying his career-high with 11 assists to go along with eight points and four rebounds in 25 minutes of action. Joining McConnell with big nights were Ashley and center Kaleb Tarczewski.

Ashley tied his career-high with 21 points and added six rebounds and two assists. Tarczewski put up 14 points and eight rebounds, continuing his recent hot streak over the past month or so.

After a back-and-forth start that saw the Wildcats and Golden Bears tied at 12-12 with 15:08 to go in the first half, Arizona went on a dominant 36-15 run to end the half and put the game away before halftime.

When asked after the game why the starters played deep in the second half with a margin that nearly reached 40 points, Arizona men’s basketball coach Sean Miller joked on not being able to take his starters out earlier.

“Who do you want me to put in?” Miller asked. “I thought I got them out pretty early. I can’t take them out with 20 minutes left.”

From Cal’s perspective, the Golden Bears struggled to string together multiple buckets throughout the action. The Cal big men got into early foul trouble and struggled to defend Ashley and Tarczewski early and often.

Cal guard Tyrone Wallace led the Golden Bears with 16 points and contributed five rebounds, while forward David Kravish scored 10 points before fouling out with 9:10 left in the game.

The Wildcats dominated the stat sheet, out-rebounding Cal 42-33 and winning the points in the paint battle by a wide 42-22 margin.

Six Wildcats scored in double-figures, while 11 of the 12 Wildcats who played scored at least two points.

Going into Saturday’s matchup mid-day with Stanford, this was exactly the type of performance Arizona needed to keep the nation’s longest home winning streak alive and well.

“This weekend is a statement weekend,” Miller said. “It’s our final home weekend of the season. Everyone has their final game of the season, and you want to finish off what you started in a good way. By a win, by a great performance, you want your players that are leaving to leave with that final great game — that moment.

That’s what we’re after.”

Saturday’s game is slated for 2 p.m. and can be seen on CBS. TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

Baseball set for final nonconference play

BY ROSE ALY VALENZUELA The Daily Wildcat

A

rizona baseball returns to action for its last nonconference weekend series as the Wildcats (12-4) host the Portland Pilots (4-12) for a three-game series at Hi Corbett Field. Portland will be the last team Arizona plays before going into Pac-12 Conference play and facing Utah next weekend.

The Pilots visit Tucson after a 14-2 loss against another Pac-12 school, Oregon State.

Although Portland has won only four games this season, Arizona baseball coach Andy Lopez said the record doesn’t matter, and Arizona should not look at its opponent as anything less than a team that can play baseball.

“Every team can present challenges,” Lopez said. “I tell

the guys to never look at the opponent [and] to just play the game. We don’t even put the opponents’ names on the board.

We never do that. We’re just trying to play the game.”

The Pilots have faced three Pac-12 schools this year. Oregon, Washington and Oregon State have all defeated Portland with six runs or more.

It has been more than 10 years since Arizona and Portland faced each other for a two-game series.

The Wildcats won both games against the Pilots in that last matchup.

“We need to come back this weekend and try to get everything done,” Arizona shortstop Kevin Newman said. “We have to work on everything we have been getting away with.”

Going into the weekend, the offensive leaders for Arizona are second baseman Scott Kingery, Newman and center fielder Justin

Behnke. Newman is sitting nicely at a .400 batting average, and Kingery is batting .456, going 31for-43 on the season.

Newman said Arizona will continue with the same approach it has had during nonconference games, because the team is close to where it wants to be.

“We’re supposed to crush these teams, and we are really close to getting over the hump with the good teams,” Newman said.

“We’ve been in the game a couple times, and it’s just a matter of getting over that hump.”

One thing Lopez is concerned about coming into the weekend is the amount of runners Arizona left on base during the New Mexico State mid-week series.

Lopez said quality at-bats and driving runners are things he is emphasizing for this weekend before the team hits Pac-12 play.

“Hopefully we can get that out of our system before the

Arizona set for battle at Judi Garman Classic

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

F

resh off a double-header sweep of UNLV on Wednesday, No. 13 Arizona softball heads to Fullerton, Calif., for the Judi Garman Classic over the weekend. Arizona (19-3) will face No. 1 Florida, No. 14 Auburn, Long Beach State, No. 9 Baylor and Fresno State during the Friday through Sunday classic.

Arizona softball coach Mike Candrea said this weekend will be a measuring stick to see how his team has improved from the beginning of the season.

“We need to kind of find out where we’re at,” Candrea said, “because pretty soon, we’re going to be in the Pac-12 [Conference], and every game is a big one.”

The Judi Garman Classic kicks off a season-long stretch of 12 straight road games for the Wildcats. Playing strong during the first portion of those games will be key, as Pac-12 play begins on March 13 on the road against California.

Candrea said despite the team putting on an offensive outburst against UNLV, the

competition level this weekend will force the Wildcats to play at a higher level.

“This weekend is going to be definitely a little upgrade [in talent] from what we’ve been seeing,” Candrea said. “We gotta tighten things up defensively. You’ve got to pitch well, you’ve got to hit well, you’ve got to play good defense. There’s no secrets to it.”

So far this season, Arizona is batting .391 as a team, is a perfect 29-29 on stolen base attempts and has racked up 30 home runs. To say the Arizona offense has been dominant may be an understatement.

Arizona catcher Chelsea Goodacre has been a big reason behind that offensive output, batting .300 with eight home runs and 36 RBIs. Goodacre leads the team in both home runs and RBIs and said it’s fun to play with this kind of offense around her.

Goodacre even referenced Arizona men’s basketball coach Sean Miller, who gave a talk to the Wildcats on Tuesday during their practice. “[Candrea] had Sean Miller come to talk to us, and he told us that with team success comes individual accolades,” Goodacre

said. “I thought that was the biggest thing.

So, in any way that I can contribute to my team, that’s the best.”

On the mound, the Wildcats have formed a nice one-two punch with Trish Parks and Michelle Floyd. Parks is 8-1 with a 2.29 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 52 innings, while Floyd is 8-2 with a 2.20 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 51 innings of work.

Pitching will be key against top-flight programs such as Florida, Baylor and Auburn if the Wildcats are to pull off a couple upsets this weekend.

Floyd said playing travel softball growing up has given her connections to many of the teams Arizona will face at the classic.

“I have friends at all these schools, so that’s one of the fun things,” Floyd said. “[I] get to play against the competition that I’ve grown up playing against. Every time we get to play against each other is so exciting and so much fun.”

Women’s tennis dominates NAU

BY STEVIE KATZ

The Daily Wildcat

A

rizona women’s tennis dominated against NAU on Thursday as the Wildcats came out on top 2-0 in doubles and 6-0 in singles.

NAU had a slow start with doubles that Arizona took advantage of.

“Winning that doubles point has certainly been a goal of ours, and you may not always win it, but you want to always go down swinging,” said Arizona women’s tennis coach Vicky Maes.

“Today, we had a positive outcome, and we have to take that into next week.”

In singles on court one, two and three, which consisted of No. 115-ranked Lauren Marker, Briar Preston and Laura Oldham, the matches were well-played, as the women stuck to the basics.

On court four, Shayne Austin struggled with her confidence and needed to learn to come out with more energy, Maes said.

Inge Hendrikx, who played on court six, had a slow start going down 4-1 and ended up winning 6-4 and 6-1.

Playing on court five, Devinh Chypyha started out strong en route to winning 6-0 but had some issues with her focus.

“I was getting a little frustrated, which is definitely something I need to work on,” Chypyha said. “That was one of the difficulties today, certainly, to think patient.”

Playing her opponent, Livia Hollosy, Chypyha had to make some adjustments to her own game to make sure she came out with a victory.

“She liked it when I hit the ball harder at her, and she wanted to hit long rallies, so I was like, ‘OK, I’m just going to hit with her, get your ball on the court, deep high ball and see how it goes,’” Chypyha said. “Basically, that’s how I broke her down in the end, because I just played more of her game right back at her.”

Currently undefeated in singles, Chypyha tries not to think about it or let her record affect her game.

I just go out there and play for the team, and this is just how it’s worked out. It’s pretty good.”

The Wildcats have their first conference match next week but are currently 8-1 heading to play Colorado State, which, according to Maes, is a nice place to be.

“I’m not ecstatic with how we played today; I think NAU kind of gave it to us, to be honest,” Maes said. “We didn’t have to battle hard, and we weren’t tested the way we have been tested before, so I’m happy with the win, but I don’t think we should linger too much on it and be ready to work hard and get our focus into next week.”

Mill overcomes odds to aid UA gymnastics

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

A

t the beginning of her collegiate career, Arizona gymnast Lexi Mills said she was told she would never be able to compete in the floor event again. She battled constant pain in her shins that both coaches and doctors couldn’t quite figure out how to diagnose, which is why she was unable to compete in an event she loves.

This past season, the Arizona Athletics training staff and athletic trainer Stephanie Gross discovered Mills was suffering from compartment syndrome.

“It’s basically a small little compartment in there, and when I do [physical] activity, it fills up with fluid and causes pain,” Mills said.

“They went into my shin and sliced that fascia, and now it can open up more so it doesn’t hurt as much to do things.”

Throughout her time at Arizona, Mills has been a dual-event athlete, competing on the uneven bars and the balance beam. But with the pain in her leg, she was unable to

participate consistently in that third event of floor. The diagnosis was only recently made.

“It was like a relief in a way,” Arizona gymnastics coach Bill Ryden said. “These girls beat up their bodies, and they understand that going in. It’s a part of the game.

All they really want to know is, when they have a problem, what is it? Having this hanging question mark over your head is incredibly frustrating, because she is an ideal patient. She did everything that the training room asked her to do and yet was seeing no relief.”

After going through rehab and surgery, Mills needed to get into floor shape, since she was months behind everyone else. In the sixth meet of the season against Oregon State, Ryden inserted Mills into the floor lineup, and she has since become a staple for the Wildcats on floor. In the Wildcats’ last meet against California, Mills nailed her career high of 9.925.

“Being on the event now is amazing; I can’t even put that into words,” Mills said. “When you’ve been a gymnast your whole life … being told you would never be able

to do floor again — especially me, I love to perform … it was one of my biggest things in club — coming back and being able to show that off again … is the greatest feeling.”

Ryden echoed those words and has been impressed with Mills’ work ethic throughout her career.

“She’s an incredibly hard worker,” Ryden said. “She’s quiet in the gym; she does everything you ask her. She’s a typical gymnast: She’s hard on herself, because coaches as well as gymnasts are always looking for perfection. … She’s very good at knowing how far she can push herself but still [knowing] that she has to do enough to be fully prepared.”

Mills grew up in Frisco, Texas, and competed for eight years with the World Olympic Gymnastics Academy, one of the most prestigious gymnastics clubs in the U.S. The club is coached by Valeri Liukin, who was a gold and silver medalist at the 1988 Olympic Games, and Yevgeny Marchenko, who was a five-time World Champion in Sport Acrobatics.

“I have watched a lot of great gymnasts,” Mills said. “I come from WOGA, so I got to watch Nastia Liukin, Carly Patterson, Holly Vise and all of the great Olympic athletes.

That was big for me, because I got to look at them and be like, ‘Wow, I want to perform like them.’ That’s

what I try to do when I do floor — I just try to be as graceful as possible.”

Although Mills is only a junior, she knows how quickly her college experience will go by and said she is prepared to step up.

“It goes so fast,” Mills said. “I feel like I was a freshman yesterday, but I’ve grown a lot [from] coming in as a freshman until now. I love my team, so I’m willing to do whatever it takes to step up and play that leadership role.”

Women’s basketball sees season end

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

A

rizona women’s basketball’s season came to end on Thursday as the No. 11-seed Wildcats fell 80-62 to UCLA in the first round of the Pac12 Conference Tournament held in Seattle, Wash.

With the loss, the UA ended the season with a 10-20 overall record. Arizona’s last winning record was in 2010-2011.

In her final game in an Arizona uniform, Candice Warthen scored a team-high 12 points to lead the Wildcats. Warthen leaves the program No. 16 on the career scoring list.

After grabbing an early lead, the Wildcats struggled to find a groove offensively against a zone defense from UCLA. Arizona could not find many open looks

outside and was swarmed by UCLA defenders when it got the ball into the post.

With Arizona unable to score consistently, the Bruins gradually took control of the game and expanded the lead to 37-24 at halftime. The Wildcats did not make a field goal over the final 5:37 of the first half.

Out of the locker room, Arizona managed to improve its shooting but couldn’t do enough on defense to slow down UCLA. With 3:49 to go, the Wildcats cut the lead down to 65-54. However, the Bruins responded and never allowed Arizona to get any closer.

UCLA ended the game on a 7-1 run.

Malena Washington contributed 11 points for the Wildcats, while JaLea Bennett added 10 points. Senior Alli Gloyd recorded a team-high nine rebounds in her last game.

As a team, the Wildcats only shot 35 percent from the field, including 3-13 from outside.

Warthen, despite being the team’s leading scorer, connected on just 4-15 of her attempts.

Arizona put up a strong outing on the glass, out-rebounding the Bruins 40-33. The Wildcats brought down 18 offensive boards.

However, the Bruins shot 48 percent from the field and 63 percent in the second half.

UCLA was led by junior Nirra Fields, who connected on 10-16 attempts to score a gamehigh 21 points. Jordin Canada and Monique Billings each added in 10 points.

Senior Madeline Poteet gave the Bruins a big boost from the bench in the form of three 3-pointers.

UCLA knocked down six 3-pointers collectively.

As was the case for much of the season, the Wildcats were sloppy with the ball, committing 21 turnovers. UCLA turned those miscues into 12 fast-break points.

To the Bruins’ credit, the team recorded 15 steals, including four from Canada. UCLA also blocked seven Wildcats attempts.

Arizona did find success at the free-throw line, converting 19-25 attempts. Workman led the Wildcats with seven made free throws.

In the end, Arizona just couldn’t find enough open looks to keep up with the Bruins.

It was the third straight year that the UA lost in the first round of the tournament. The loss also assured that the Wildcats would miss the NCAA tournament for the 10th consecutive season.

Arizona has only made one postseason appearance under coach Niya Butts when the program fell in the first round of the 2011 NIT.
