EDITORIAL

BY DAILY WILDCAT EDITORIAL BOARD @DailyWildcat

he Daily Wildcat wants to welcome all incoming freshmen and their families, and let you know we’re here for you. Whether you are looking for important updates on news or events happening on campus, or the latest on your favorite University of Arizona athletes, we have you covered. Our staff is made up of students, just like you. From freshmen to seniors and even grad students, our paper is run by the same people you will sit next to in class or walk past on the UA Mall. We are studying for tests and making weekend plans like any other student. There’s a lot going on here at the UA, so much so that our talented reporters, photographers and editors can’t possibly cover it all. But wherever there is something happening that we think you should know about, we will do our best to be there. You can join us if you like, too, even if you have never considered working in journalism before. We do a lot more than just write stories; video, audio, web, social media, design, management, sales, marketing, accounting and many more skills can be learned in student media. We will be having a hiring fair soon and encourage anyone with an interest to come check us out. But if talking with future NBA players, business leaders, politicians or scientists working on groundbreaking research doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, we hope you will at least continue to read or visit us online after this issue, so you can see the results the next time one of our reporters interviews a TV star, famous poet or potential Heisman Trophy candidate. Over the past year, a lot has changed at the UA. We got a new university president, Dr. Robert Robbins, who has led a one-man campaign to improve the image of his office on campus after controversy surrounded the administration of his predecessor, Ann Weaver Hart.

The UA Athletics department has been in turmoil after the release of football coach Rich Rodriguez following harassment allegations, the conviction of former track and field assistatant coach Craig Carter on assault charges and the arrest of assistant basketball coach Book Richardson on bribery charges. The university is also embroiled in several lawsuits ranging from equal pay disputes to its handling of sexual harassment and other misconduct. But not all the news on campus has been bad. Following the firing of Rodriguez, the UA brought in Kevin Sumlin, the first African American to head the football program, who has already started earning a reputation of outreach and cooperation since arriving this spring. Furthermore, the university continues to be a leading institution for important research and development, and just recently conferred thousands of graduates with degrees once again, affirming they are ready to contribute to their chosen fields, as well as the economy. And UA athletes continue to display top levels of competitive prowess no matter what court, field or other venue they appear on. For the next several years, Tucson and the UA campus looks to be your home. Whether you are from the area, across the U.S. or you are an have international student, you are welcome here. The Wildcat intends to be one of many resources on campus to help you navigate the chaotic journey of college and emerge triumphantly with an education and valuable experiences on your resume. Let us be your map as we begin the next step of this journey together. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat Opinions Board and are written by its members.

LETTER FROM YOUR STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT

Campus clubs, organzations there to support you GUEST LETTER

FROM NATALYNN MASTERS ASUA PRESIDENT

elcome Wildcats! My name is Natalynn Masters, and I am your student body president. I want to take this time to welcome you to campus and let you know how excited we are to have you join the Wildcat family. College is an exciting journey that will provide you with some of your best memories. The University of Arizona is a unique place; its rich history and traditions, school spirit, academic excellence and cutting-edge research will make your college experience remarkable. There is something on campus for everyone. We have over 600 different clubs, cultural and resource centers, intramural sports, research opportunities and much, much more! Despite all of these qualities and opportunities, college can still be a scary leap to take. For many of you, this is your first time away from friends and family. This distance may be down the street, across the country or even across the globe. This is your first time to truly be an independent adult. With this

freedom, you also have to begin “adulting.” You have the ability to make college whatever you want. Waking up at 7 a.m. for class in high school is a thing of the past. You will have the chance to meet students from across the world and even some from the same city as you. College is the perfect place to explore, meet people and grow as an individual. Organizations like student government are here to ensure that you are supported and connected on campus. Our student government, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA), is full of programs and services that work to better your student experience. As your ASUA President, I am here to serve you in any way possible. I ran for this position to fight for student issues. It is my job to the give you the platform to share your story. There are three main areas that I am working on this year: diversity, sexual assault and student engagement. I am working to address diversity concerns on campus. It is crucial that the University of Arizona be a place where every student feels accepted and empowered. We have a community that consists of students who hail from multiple backgrounds that contribute to making the Wildcat Family vibrant. This means working to ensure every member of that family feels safe on campus. Sexual assault is an issue on all college campuses,

and the UA is no different. For the past three years, ASUA has organized the “I Will” campaign. This weeklong campaign centers around ending rape culture through promoting consent and raising awareness about sexual assault. Students have the opportunity to take a pledge saying “I Will end rape culture by ...” This year, we are planning to make “I Will” week bigger than ever in order to educate students around campus. This is only one of the ways we work to get students engaged. Student engagement means students can get better connected to ASUA and campus resources. We are a large institution with a lot to offer, but many times it is hard for students to find out about these amazing opportunities. Be sure to follow ASUA on social media @ASUATODAY in order to stay connected. Again, I welcome you and your loved ones to the University of Arizona. I hope you enjoy Orientation, and I cannot wait to meet each one of you. Bear Down! — Natalynn Masters She/her/hers Associated Students of the University of Arizona Student Body President

NEWS | TRANSFER STUDENT ADVICE

Community college to UA: Lessons in transferring BY EDDIE CELAYA @reporterEddie

Not every new student at the University of Arizona will be fresh out of high school. Some students take a gap year, and others return from the job market to obtain professional degrees. But a very significant part of the new student population are transfer students from one of the state’s 21 public community colleges. Here at the UA, many of those transfer students hail from Pima Community College, the six-campus institution that enrolls 30,082 total students, 10,776 full-time and 19,306 part-time, according to a U.S. News Report. Former Daily Wildcat editor Jamie Verwys counts herself as both a UA and PCC graduate. After spending a few years outside academia, Verwys returned to PCC in 2014. While Verwys had also attended PCC right out of high school and been on track to earn a scholarship to an in-state, four-year university, her time off derailed that route. “I definitely know there are programs and options that students who are transferring can take advantage of, though,” said Verwys. One of those programs is UA Bridge, which guarantees admission into most

UA undergraduate degree programs and the opportunity for a renewable $2,000 scholarship. The program is offered at most of Arizona’s community colleges. Because community college transfer students already have anywhere from a few to more than 60 college credits to their name, there is the temptation to think the next two years will be similar to the last two. Not quite, according to Verwys. “Whereas at Pima I felt I was a little more on top of my schedule and able to do the kind of extra-curricular activities I felt I wanted to do, at UA I felt there was just so much going on,” she said. That’s why Verwys’ number one piece of advice to any incoming transfer student is to improve their time management. “I wanted to do everything early on, and at Pima it was a little easier, time-wise,” she said. “Get a planner and find a club or activity you want to do and schedule it early. That way you find out what you can and can’t handle before it’s later in the semester.” Along with this guidance from Verwys, here are five more pieces of tranfer advice:

Campus Pantry’s goal is to reduce food insecurity in the UA campus community. Located in the Student Union Memorial Center, it’s open Tuesdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Fridays from 11a.m. to 1 p.m., all you need to do is bring your CatCard to prove you’re a student – but the service is anonymous, so no need to swipe your card or give your name.

OK, so it doesn’t technically start with “E,” but close enough.

WILDCAT CULTURE IN THE MAKING BY JASMINE DEMERS @JasmineADemers

ince 1885, the University of Arizona has been a pillar in the surrounding community. The traditions and history of the campus run deep, with over 130 years of academic research, public advancements and a forever-growing sense of pride and spirit. According the UA Alumni Association, the university was allocated to the City of Tucson in 1885 under an order by the 13th Arizona Territorial Legislature. With $25,000 to build the university and not much public support, the Arizona Board of Regents bought 40 acres of land from two gamblers and a saloon keeper. In 1887, ground was officially broken on Old Main. In 1891, classes began with a total of 32 students and six faculty members, all operating out of a single building. Two women and one male made up the UA’s first graduating class in 1895. The UA has come a long way since then, with more than 200 buildings, 350 acres, 40,000 enrolled students and 15,000 employees, according to the Alumni Association. The UA Cactus Garden, originally created in the fall of 1891, is also one of the oldest additions to campus, according to Alumni Association. In 1929 it was moved to the east side of Old Main and contained 600 cacti species, which stretched all the way to Highland Avenue. The garden was also home to eight Baja California boojum trees, which were planted in the 1930s. This included the oldest boojum in the country, which died in 2005. The Cactus Garden was eventually dispersed to other areas of campus to make way for the UA Mall construction in the 1950s. Sentinel Peak, or more commonly known as “A” Mountain, proudly overlooks the University of Arizona and all of Tucson. The University of Arizona “A” was built into the side of this mountain from 1915 to 1916 after civil engineering student and football player Albert H. Cordon was inspired as part of a class project, according to the Alumni Association.

HEATHER NEWBERRY | THE DAILY WILDCAT

This was quite a project in the early 1900s, taking four months, six horse teams and a full team of students. Today, the “A” serves as an important landmark in the UA community and is set aglow by flares to kick off Homecoming every year. But watch out Wildcats, before the annual Duel in the Desert game against ASU, you might catch some Sun Devils lurking around “A” Mountain. Perhaps one of the most important and long-standing traditions of the University of Arizona is its official motto, “Bear Down.” The legend of this motto began over 90 years ago with the death of quarterback and student body president John “Button” Salmon on Oct. 19, 1926. According to the Arizona Daily Star, Salmon was in a car accident while on his way to Phoenix to celebrate a Wildcat win. He was thrown from his vehicle and suffered a spinal cord injury. On his last visit to the hospital before Salmon died, Coach J.F. “Pop” McKale allegedly asked if Salmon had a message for the team. Salmon did. During a pre-game huddle at New Mexico State, the coach relayed this message; “Tell them … tell them to bear down.” The phrase caught on quickly and was even painted in large, bold letters across the top of a UA building, now known as “Bear Down Gym.” While the official UA fight song, “Fight! Wildcats! Fight!,” was written in 1929 by Douglas Holsclaw, the unofficial fight song, “Bear Down, Arizona,” is more commonly known. “Bear Down Arizona!” was written in 1952 when Jack K. Lee was flying back to Michigan from Tucson, where he interviewed to become the next UA Director of Bands. His plane flew directly over the university, where he saw the words “Bear Down” across the top of a building. According to the Alumni Association, by the time he landed, Lee had written the lyrics to the song on the back of airsickness bag. He was offered the job as director a

couple of weeks later. According to the Alumni Association, “Bear Down Arizona!” was first performed by the Pride of Arizona later in 1952. This award-winning marching band was named one of the top five college marching bands in the country by the College Band Directors National Association in 2009. While the marching band has been a part of UA culture since 1902, they didn’t perform in their first halftime show until 1922. The Pride of Arizona has also performed at several historical events, including the very first Super Bowl in 1967, as well as the inauguration of President Jimmy Carter in 1977. In 1995, Director Jay C. Rees transformed the Pride of Arizona into “The World’s First Alternative Music Marching Band,” and has since performed the music of artists such as Muse, Radiohead, Tears for Fears, The Beatles and Bruno Mars. According to the Alumni Association, the wildcat became the official mascot of the UA in 1914, when the LA Times wrote that the Arizona football team “showed the fight of wildcats” during a game against Occidental College, who were the California champions at the time. A few weeks later, the Wildcats won their first ever Homecoming game against Pomona College. Before the

introduction of Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat, the UA actually purchased a live bobcat in 1915, which they called “Rufus Arizona.” According to the Arizona Daily Star, the UA’s official mascot died shortly after on April 17, 1916. The Arizona Daily Wildcat sadly reported that “while endeavoring to perform gymnastics stunts in the limbs of a tree to which he was tied, Rufus Arizona ... fell and was hung.” The UA used live mascots until the mid1950s. It wasn’t until 1959 that Wilbur Wildcat appeared at his first football game and became the university’s official mascot. Wilma was introduced to the UA in 1986 when Wilbur met her on a blind date, according to the UA Alumni Association. The power couple was married later that year, on November 21, before a football game against ASU. The University of Arizona, with its rich history and traditions, provides students with a unique student life experience and exciting sense of spirit. Wildcats take pride in where this university began, where it is going and make it a priority to keep these valuable traditions alive. As incoming students and families, you will have a chance to immerse yourself within this culture and community and continue to forge your own traditions to keep Wildcat pride alive.

SOFIA MORAGA | THE DAILY WILDCAT

A new Wildcat’s guide to campus events A degree isn’t the only thing the University of Arizona is good for. Here’s a list of some opportunities to immerse yourself in campus culture throughout the year BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves

The University of Arizona prides itself on being a leader in the arts and student engagement, and as a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, is home to many awards and programs that are globally recognized for their diversity and inclusion. From theater and dance shows to club events and campus activities, UA faculty, staff and students encourage new Wildcats to get involved and partake in these initiatives. “When a student graduates, that degree will be just one key line on the resume,” said Abra McAndrew, the assistant vice provost of student engagement. “The rest will come from student employment, student activities and organizations, research experiences, internships and other personal choices to get involved that make each student’s experience uniquely valuable.” The Daily Wildcat is here to help new Wildcats learn about everything that is available to them during their first year on campus, and ways they can enrich their student life experience. Campus Fairs Throughout the fall and spring semesters, the UA holds a handful of campus fairs for students to get information about programs or future events, and involvement opportunities at the university. Included are the Club Fair, the Study Abroad Fair and the Career Fair. With over 600 clubs on campus, the Club Fair gives students the chance to get involved with other students who share similar interests. Held on the UA mall, this event acts as an opportunity for students to find activities they are passionate about, get information and get involved through student organizations,

according to the UA Club Resource Center. The Study Abroad Fair, located in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom, gives students a look at all the study abroad options available at UA. From a summer in Italy to a semester in Southern Asia, this fair provides information on different trips, financial aid and class opportunities around the world, according to UA Global Initiatives. UA Career Fairs provide students with employment opportunities, both on and off campus, which helps them build hands-on experience for their resume and earn some extra cash, according to the office of Student Engagement and Career Development website. This fall, students can attend the Wildcat Student Employment Fair on Aug. 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom. This is for students who are looking for work that is flexible and fits in with their school schedule. Students and alumni will also have the opportunity to participate in Fall Career Days from Sept. 10-12. Over three days, attendees will have a chance to meet over 150 employers with full-time job opportunities and internships. Festivals Another set of events the UA offers students, as well as the community, are its annual festivals, ranging from music to literature and science. These events aim to engage the larger community with participation, education and outreach. One of these campus festivals is the Chess and Science Festival, hosted by the Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium. Held in the fall, this event brings a variety of science-themed activities to campus and involves participation from several UA science clubs, according to their website. This festival specifically showcases that women and girls can excel in fields that have historically been male-dominated.

Another annual festival is the Tucson Village Farm Harvest Festival, located off-campus at Tucson Village Farm at 4210 N. Campbell Ave. This is a “family-friendly event that features a variety of activities for people of all ages, gourmet food samples, a farm stand, live music, a petting zoo, hayrides, popcorn activities, food trucks and more,’” according to the Pima County Cooperative Extension events page. This festival is in November and hosted by the Pima County Cooperative Extension. The Tucson Festival of Books, one of the biggest book festivals in the nation, is held on campus every spring and features authors, book signings, talks, music, Science City and other literary engagement opportunities. This renowned book festival is one of the largest book festivals in the country and attracts visitors from around the nation, according to the TFOB website. UA Spring Fling, the largest student-run carnival in the nation, is one of the university’s most popular events and is held every April on the UA Mall, according to the Spring Fling website. Spring Fling includes carnival rides, food booths, games and live entertainment for students and community members alike. Family Events UA holds several events aimed at providing opportunities for families to get involved with their students on campus. Whether it be through events during Family Weekend, Family Days at the UA Poetry Center or the festivals held on- and off-campus, there are several chances for parents to get to know the campus as well. Family Day at the UA Poetry Center is held several times throughout the fall and spring semester and is a day of workshops, music, activities and refreshments for kids ages 13 or younger and their parents and guardians. It’s free and open

A major event in the fall is UA Band Day, a full-day marching band exhibition held on campus that invites 30 to 40 high school bands to perform their half-time show for rankings and awards. The Pride of Arizona also appears in two exhibition performances, and Band Day provides high school students the opportunity to gain knowledge and expertise as a performing group, according to the Fred Fox School of Music. The Loft Cinema partners with UA programs to showcase films followed by questions and answer sessions. One ongoing series at the cinema is Journalism on Screen, which shows a journalism related film followed by talk about the content from professionals.

Under New Management NOW LEASING FALL 2018

Interested in research? An expert offers advice Christopher Elsner lets freshmen (or any student) in on the steps, perks and opportunities of participating in lab research at UA BY RANDALL ECK @Reck999

Every year at the University of Arizona, thousands of researchers attempt to answer hundreds of questions in order to understand everything from the biology of cancer to the science of sustainability. In laboratories that bring millions of dollars in grants to UA, undergraduates work alongside esteemed scientists learning valuable skills and applying the knowledge gained in the classroom. Research is a hallmark of any degree in the College of Science, with an estimated 85 percent of graduates participating in research during their undergraduate career, according to Christopher Elsner, a program coordinator with the Office of Undergraduate Research. Research opportunities can be found all across campus and disciplines, from anthropology to English and business management to teaching strategies. Freshmen stepping onto a college campus for the first time may be excited to contribute to all the great science happening at UA, but are unsure of where to start. Daily Wildcat reporter Randall Eck talked with Elsner about the benefits of undergraduate research and how freshman can find opportunities to participate in research on campus. The interview is edited here for length. Daily Wildcat: What is the mission of the Office of Undergraduate Research? Chris Elsner: Our mission at the Office of Undergraduate Research is to help get more students involved in research programs. We work primarily with the

College of Science but are not limited to the College of Science. We try to help promote research opportunities, make them accessible to all students and provide support to faculty to help students get the most out of their research experiences. We have a lot of resources available through our website to support students. DW: What does a student gain from doing research during their undergraduate career? CE: Research is really the most quintessential extracurricular learning activity students can be involved in as an undergraduate. It is an opportunity for students to apply what they have been learning in their academics in a realworld, hands-on setting. Most research nowadays is inter-disciplinary, pushing students to bring together many different skills in their research. A lot of those skills students would not pick up from just from going to class. In particular, data analysis, statistics, coding and effectively communicating their research are all invaluable skills learned by being involved in research. DW: What advice would you give a freshman looking to work in a research lab? CE: First step, go to our website. That is the best place for freshmen to get started in the College of Science. It is also important to remember that research is not limited to just STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) majors and can also come in the form of internships or industry focused experiences. We have a specific area on our website called “Getting Started in Research” and it maps our first steps. One of the biggest things

RESEARCH Q&A FROM PAGE 37

students can do as freshmen to get involved in research is to start thinking about what interests them. We can help students identify and refine some of those interests. DW: What would you say to students who feel like they are too inexperienced to start looking for a research experience as a freshman? CE: Try not to be intimidated. More often than not, faculty members want to start working with freshmen. Realistically, if students work on a research project, even if those students are seniors, they are not going to be experts. It is going to take a semester or a year to get up to speed in that lab and learn the necessary skills, equipment, procedures and research questions. The advantage of getting started early is that students have plenty of time to get up to speed. Students can start to apply the knowledge from their classes and make those connections much earlier on. By the time students are juniors and seniors, they are in a position to be making significant contributions to research with a faculty member, be a published author and see

their research projects come to fruition. DW: Does the Office of Undergraduate Research offer any financial resources for students? CE: The Office of Undergraduate Research does not offer students any financial resources. The College of Science does have several scholarships for students conducting research such as the Van de Verde Undergraduate Research Memorial Scholarship. Our website also provides resources to help find funding. Getting involved in clubs is also a way to have greater access to resources to help travel to conferences to present research. As a student, presenting and communicating research is an important part of the scientific process. DW: What other advice would you offer students looking to get involved in research? CE: Our website has a searchable database of faculty and their research. We also have a catalog of links to research both on and off campus. Our faculty members are very busy people and sometimes might be inaccessible; graduate students are great people to connect with as they understand the undergraduate experience and may be easier to get in contact with. It is really

important for freshmen to start thinking about building relationships with faculty. I strongly recommend taking advantage of office hours. Sometimes the best way to get involved in research is learning about opportunities directly from faculty. When

reaching out to faculty, students need to use a professional tone. When doing research for credit, students should participate in the 100% Engagement program to get the most out of their experience.

Trouble? Don’t know what to do? Follow the blue Emergency Blue Light Telephones are so numerous on campus, they almost blend into the background. But how do they work, and where — exactly — are they located? BY VICTOR GARCIA @VicGarcia96

Some students spend hours in a library or attend classes that may end after sundown. Getting home after dark can be potentially dangerous on a big college campus. That’s why the University of Arizona offers emergency services to help provide a level of safety for students, faculty and staff. In the event someone feels unsafe or witnesses criminal activity, there are multiple ways to contact the authorities that the University of Arizona Police Department advises students use. But what about a situation where a student has no phone? That’s where Emergency Blue Light Telephones come in. “[They’re] equipped to directly dial to our dispatch center emergency line

and they are very easy to operate,” said UAPD Officer Hernandez. This service is meant to let students or employees move from place to place in the safest way possible. According to Hernandez, UA has approximately 240 EBLTs installed on campus. The tall, bright-blue telephones are placed so there’s at least one EBLT visable from another. They fill the dark with a blue light positioned on top of the kiosk, and are able to call the UAPD with the push of a large button. The UA installed EBLTs so students would be able to notify the UAPD of a student facing imminent danger or of criminal activity in the area. “These have a GPS locator in them, so every time you hit the emergency button, it sends off a GPS location to our dispatch,” Hernandez said. “If you’re not able to speak, you [can] hit

the button and run away if something is happening.” There are over 240 of the devices currently on campus, and with every new structure the UA adds — like a dorm or parking garage — EBLTs are sure to be included. According to the UAPD’s Emergency Blue Light Telephone map, the devices stretch from East Seventh Street south of campus near the Campus Rec Center, up to University Medical Center by North Ring Road. “We like to have different ways and options for people to contact the police here on campus,” Hernandez said. “Another way people can get in touch with us is dialing 520.621.8273 or downloading the Live Safe app available on Apple and Android.” The app not only allows users to contact the authorities, but also

enables a good Samaritan to take photos and video to send directly to the UAPD. With more construction underway in neighborhoods northwest of campus, as well as south, more of these lights are to be expected to provide a safe pathway for students walking home. The UAPD also gives rides for students that would feel more comfortable driving somewhere as opposed to walking alone at night. Another service students can turn to if they need a ride home is the Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s Safe Ride, which can be contacted by phone or by downloading the app.

Someone is Looking for You ! There IS a superior intelligence “out there” — and a loving one too. Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don’t be deceived by evolutionism. All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil. Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/ needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible? For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 11:11-12, Isaiah 43:5-6, Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:710, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 - 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2 Peter 3:8/Hosea 5:14 - 6:2. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified parallel bible (book) or KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com), and for a strict literal translation try Young’s Literal. “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1Corinthians 2:9 , John 14:15, Psalm 14:1)!

A UA STUDENT BIKES toward First Street on Sept. 21. A 2017 Daily Wildcat analysis showed an average of 250 bikes reported stolen on campus per year, and a 2017 Arizona Daily Star article found that 1,200 bikes were reported stolen in all of Tucson in 2017.

Biking: From valets to U-locks BY VICTOR GARCIA @VicGarcia96

Once students are fully enrolled for fall semester classes, the time comes to gather supplies. On that long, or short, list of necessary tools, don’t forget a mode of transportation between class and your dorm or off campus abode. Arizona’s desert habitat means for over half the year, the student population has to endure the scorching sun’s rays as they walk from one side of campus to the other. One way to shorten that traveling time is a bicycle. “A large number of students, staff and faculty use bikes to get to classes or to ride home on the bike lanes, we offer a lot of services them to keep their bikes safe,” said Florence Dei Ochoa, marketing and public information manager for the University of Arizona Parking and Transportation Services. However, the campus has a high rate of bike theft. A previous Daily Wildcat analysis showed there is an average of 250 bikes reported stolen on campus per year, and a 2017 Arizona Daily Star article said there were 1,200 bikes reported stolen in Tucson in 2017. A good tip when owning a bike on campus is to get it registered through PTS, said Ochoa. This can help recover the bike in the event it is lost or stolen. Other services offered through PTS include a bike valet, for extra security. According to Ochoa, the valet is exactly what it sounds like. “You come to us before your class or before your school day begins and we take care of your bike for free, as long as your bike is registered with PTS, and you can

pick it up,” Ochoa said. In choosing this service, students can get their bikes checked, adjusted and repaired at no cost. According to Ochoa, UA’s bicycle stations are operated by PTS in conjunction with Pima County. Most Bicycle Station attendants are bicycle instructors certified through the League of American Bicyclists. The service may seem over-the-top; however, bikes are left under the shade with valets watching over them, which beats having bikes baking in the sun. Also, taking a U-lock on and off a bike can be a hassle, especially when rushing to class. If a bike valet seems like too much, parking garages include safe enclosures and lockers where bikes can be stored overnight. “PTS has enclosures where students can have their bikes stored safely. The enclosures are security-fenced, gated areas with some bike racks and they can be accessed with an individual security code,” said Ochoa. An even more secure way of locking a bike is a bicycle locker. A bicycle locker is a secure box big enough for a bicycle and can only be opened with a key. PTS’ bike enclosure service costs $35 a year; a bike locker comes at a price of $100 per year and an additional $80 refundable key deposit. When the semester ends, bikes are sometimes left behind, chained to the racks around campus. “When a bike hasn’t been moved from the exact location it’s been or if PTS sees that it is damaged, and no one has moved it, we place a yellow sticker to be taken into the impound,” said Ochoa. “If the bikes are registered through PTS we contact the owner, if not the University takes it into surplus.”

Football Under the new leadership of head coach Kevin Sumlin, Arizona football is looking to make anw effective run this season. The home opener for Arizona football is scheduled for Sept. 1, 2018 against Brigham Young University. Coming off a 7-6 record, UA aims to improve its record and regain control of the state after dropping the Territorial Cup game 42-30 this past season against ASU. Other home matches for Arizona include games against Southern Utah (9/15), Southern California (9/29), California (10/6), Oregon (10/27), Colorado (11/2), and the Territorial Cup against Arizona State on Nov. 24. Volleyball Arizona volleyball is coming off a disappointing 11-18 record this past season, including a 5-15 record against Pac-12 teams. The ‘Cats have yet to release their fall 2018 schedule, but under the leadership of soon-to-be senior Kendra Dahlke, they are looking to make a run for the Pac-12 championships this year. Soccer Arizona soccer is coming off an 11-5-4 record with big wins against Oregon, California and ASU this past season. Last year, the team ended its season after a 2-0 loss to Florida State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Arizona soccer expects to have a strong recruiting class coming in to help build upon the current roster. Under the leadership of soon-to-be upperclassmen Morgan McGarry and Lainey Burdett, who were named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team, Arizona soccer is looking to go far in the NCAA Tournament this fall. Cross Country Arizona men’s and women’s cross country both had one first-place performance and one second-place performance this past season in the Dave Murray Invitational and ASU Cross Country Invitational, respectively. Come fall, both teams are looking to have better performances, especially in the NCAA Regionals. The teams are yet to release their 2018 schedule, but they are looking to make improvements in order to compete in the NCAA Championships come this November.

ALYSSA PALOMINO

MIKE CANDREA

BASKETBALL

Alyssa Palomino won her first All Pac-12 First Team Award this past year for Arizona softball after being third the Pac-12 in home runs (18) and slugging percentage (.784). She battled back from two injuries last year and is making a name for herself in the Pac-12.

Ask any Arizona Wildcat fan and they’ll tell you that it’s all about basketball in the desert. The Wildcats have one national championship that they won back in 1997 and haven’t been to the Final Four since 2001. Arizona fans are hungry for another Final Four and national championship.

DEVILS

Whether ASU comes down to Tucson or the Wildcats travel up to Tempe, you can always expect a close game. It’s one of the most intense rivalries in the country, with fans on both sides who just down right don’t like each other. The Territorial Cup trophy is the oldest rivalry trophy in the country and is given to the winner of the annual football game. ASU currently has the trophy in Tempe after beating the Wildcats last November.

Candrea, as in Mike Candrea. The Arizona softball coach has been at the helm for 33 years now. He has a 1,547-397-2 record and has eight national championships. He has taken the Wildcats to the NCAA tournament for the last 32 years in a row, which is the longest streak in softball history.

BOB & SEAN ELLIOTT

Bob and Sean Elliott were two Arizona basketball players at two very different times in Arizona sports history. Bob Elliott was from Michigan and played from 1973-77. He set the record for most points in an Arizona basketball career with 2,131. Sean Elliott played at Cholla High School in Tucson and then played at the University of Arizona from 1985-89. He helped take Arizona to their first Final Four in 1988 and broke Lew Alcindor’s (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) points record in the Pac-12.

FG H I J K L

FRED SNOWDEN

JORDAN GEIST

Fred “The Fox” Snowden was the Arizona basketball head coach from 1972-82 and was the first African American basketball coach at a major university. He got Bob Elliott to come to Tucson and got Arizona men’s basketball started.

Jordan Geist was the first freshman to win the Pac-12 shotput and discus championships this past year. He had a throw of 20.06 meters in the shotput and 57.56 meters in discus. He’s only a freshman and will be a force to watch in future track and field events.

TREVOR HOFFMAN

Trevor Hoffman played baseball at Arizona from 1988-89 as a shortstop. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 1993 and eventually was traded to the San Diego Padres. While with the Padres, he was switched to a closer and had one of the best careers of all time. Hoffman finished with 601 career saves, which ranks second alltime behind Mariano Rivera. He was inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame earlier this year.

KEVIN SUMLIN

Kevin Sumlin is the new football coach for this upcoming year. After Rich Rodriguez was let go in January, Sumlin became one of Arizona’s top targets and Dave Heeke was soon able to land the former Texas A&M coach. Sumlin comes to town with high expectations and will look to have an immediate impact on a football team that has the tools to make noise in the Pac-12.

INTERNATIONAL ATHLETES

Athletics at Arizona have a big history of recruiting overseas. Looking at any sport at Arizona, there are athletes that come from across the world. Whether it’s from the Bahamas, Canada, Finland, or islands in the Pacific, these athletes usually come in and really make a name for themselves in an Arizona uniform.

JAY JOHNSON

Jay Johnson has been the Arizona baseball coach since 2015 and has had a run of success with the ‘Cats. He took the team to Omaha in his first year but ultimately lost in the championship. In his first three years at Arizona he hasn’t had the big name recruits yet like other powerhouse schools, but that should change this upcoming year, as he’ll be in his fourth season and has been talking to recruits for a couple years now.

LUTE OLSON

Lute Olson is a household name when it comes to Arizona men’s basketball. The former head coach built the program into the national powerhouse it is now. He led the Wildcats to their first Final Four and won the program’s only NCAA Championship back in 1997. Arizona also built a statue of Olson and unveiled it outside the McKale Center in April.

MY-KING JOHNSON

NICK FOLES

After redshirting his first year, My-King Johnson will make his debut on the football field for Arizona. He made NCAA history before the start of last season by becoming the first openly gay football player on scholarship. The whole Arizona team and community has been looking forward to seeing what he can do on the field this upcoming season.

Nick Foles was the Arizona quarterback from 2009-2011. He finished his three years at Arizona with 10,011 passing yards and led Arizona to the Alamo Bowl in 2010. Last year he led the Philadelphia Eagles on a magical playoff run and eventually beat the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl. He was also named the Super Bowl MVP.

OFFENSE

POSTSEASON PLAY

Arizona football had a dynamic offense in 2017 and is expected to have more of the same this year. Khalil Tate was the most exciting player in college football last year. He won four straight Pac-12 player of the week honors during October. He can do it all from running the ball to throwing downfield and making important decisions. J.J. Taylor will lead an explosive Arizona backfield that looks to continue to be one of the best in the Pac-12. Wide receiver Shun Brown will be part of a receiving core hoping to catch touchdown passes from Tate.

ROSE BOWL Arizona has never been to the Rose Bowl, but this year with Khalil Tate, Kevin Sumlin and an impressive defense that will returns most of its starters, there might not be a better chance. USC and UCLA are expected to have down years and the Rose Bowl isn’t one of the games for the College Football Playoff. Could this be the year for Arizona football?

2017 was a successful year for Arizona Athletics. Basketball, football, softball, soccer and hockey (even though it’s a club sport) all made postseason appearances. Next year should see similar success based on recruits coming in and new coaches.

QUARTERBACKS

After Khalil Tate, the quarterback situation goes as follows: K’hari Lane, Rhett Rodriguez and then Andrew Tovar. Tovar and Lane are both redshirt freshman while Rodriguez is a sophomore. Lane is an interesting story. He had great success at a small high school in Georgia but was overlooked by every other college besides Grambling State. When he got offered by Arizona, he signed and came to Tucson. He redshirted last season and is now available for the 2018 season.

SEAN MILLER Sean Miller is the current basketball coach. This past year, he has been caught up in FBI investigations involving a pay-for-play scheme. As a result, Miller’s recruiting took a hit and ever since the end of the basketball season he’s been scrambling to get transfers and whoever else he can find. Despite this challenge, Miller has managed to haul in a top-25 recruiting class. While most people are expecting a down year for the team, don’t be shocked to see this team compete for another Pac-12 conference title.

KHALIL TATE

After putting up video game numbers last season under center for Arizona football, Khalil Tate will be looking to prove that last season wasn’t a hoax. Many people are expecting Arizona as one of the favorites in the Pac-12 South this season, and that’s because of the quarterback. Tate is already at 9/1 odds to win the Heisman.

WILDCATS

Arizona got the name “Wildcats” back in 1914 after it played Occidental College in a football game that it ultimately lost. After the game, a Los Angeles Times columnist wrote, “They showed the fight of Wildcats,” and the name stuck.

UNDERRATED ATHLETE

VOLLEYBALL

2017 was the first time in 10 years that the Arizona volleyball team finished below a .500 record. In those past 10 years alone, Arizona volleyball has a strong conference contender, consistently ranked and always competing with the top schools in the country.

Whether it’s because Arizona baseball is having a disappointing year or because he gets overshadowed by other big name players on the team, sophomore Nick Quintana is one of the best third baseman in the conference. He has a .291 BA with 12 home runs and has a sure glove hand with a laser arm.

X-FACTOR

YOUNG ATHLETES

Arizona football has a rich tradition of having strong place kickers, but the last couple of seasons have been nothing special. That should all change this year. Lucas Havrisik came to Arizona last year as a five-star kicker. He didn’t see too much action last year but when he did come in, he nailed 50-plus yard field goals and was almost always reliable to get a touchback on kickoffs. He could be the x-factor Arizona needs if it wants to make a run in the Pac-12 South.

2018 is supposed to be a rebuilding year for Arizona basketball. The entire starting five from last year either graduated or left for the NBA draft. This year, the team is going to be made up of transfers who have never played together, sophomores who didn’t see much court time last season and a couple of new recruits. Most of the players who will see playing time will be either 18 or 19 years old and they’ll be going against some of the best teams in the country with Oregon, UCLA and other teams from the Pac-12 expected to have a good season.

ZONAZOO

ZonaZoo is the student section at Arizona. In 2015 and 2018 they won the NCSSA Loud and Proud award for best student section in the country. They have a section close to the field for football and close to the court for basketball. They’re the best seats in the stadium, where every student should be on game day.

COMMENTARY | ATHLETES TO WATCH FOR

UA ATHLETES POISED TO LEAVE THEIR MARK BY ROB KLEIFIELD @RobKAllDay1

BIG MAN ON CAMPUS

Khalil Tate – Football Nobody will attract more attention in the fall than Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate. The 2017 Maxwell Award Semifinalist didn’t take the reins as Arizona’s starting quarterback until the fifth game of the season. As a true sophomore, he compiled 1,648 rushing yards and 1,834 yards through the air. He also scored 26 total touchdowns and set a handful of program records. Despite initially having trouble cracking the starting lineup, Tate quickly proved to his doubters that he’s the best man for the job. Featuring a new regime heading into the 2018 season, Tate and Wildcat fans have every reason to be excited. With an up-tempo offense designed around Tate’s big-play instincts, it’s hard to eliminate Arizona from Pac-12 contention. Since Tate’s record setting, off-the-bench performance versus Colorado last season, the electric dual-threat has garnered his fair share of Heisman support. Although he slipped out of the conversation for the nation’s top award near the tail end of 2017, there’s no telling how high Tate can climb in his first full-year as QB1.

SCOOBY WRIGHT 2.0?

Colin Schooler – Football The comparisons between Scooby Wright and Colin Schooler don’t stop at undersized and under-recruited. Wright, who became Arizona’s sixth unanimous All-American in the wake of his 2014 campaign, first made his mark as a wideeyed freshman. After earning All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention honors, and dazzling fans with sideline interceptions, Wright submitted perhaps the greatest sophomore season in program history. Now it’s Schooler’s turn to post an equally incredible second act, or at least try to. In 2017 the 6-foot, 226 lb. inside linebacker surpassed many of Wright’s freshman accolades. In fact, Schooler snatched the one piece of hardware missing from Wright’s trophy case – Pac-12 Defensive Freshman of the Year. With cat-like reflexes and high-level play recognition, Schooler is primed to lead Arizona’s defense into the new era. As a freshman, he excelled at beating blockers to the point of attack and playing in the opposition’s backfield. As a sophomore, Schooler will look to utilize his game experience and increased attributes to his advantage. Spending his first full offseason under the watchful eyes of Arizona’s strength and conditioning coaches will certainly reap instant rewards. Schooler’s stature might not be intimidating, but the hammer he wields between tackles makes up for any shortcomings.

THE WINNIPEG JET

Jennie Baragar-Petrash – Cross Country Jennie Baragar-Petrash calls Winnipeg, Canada home, but each fall she grows fonder of the desert. In 2016 Baragar-Petrash was one of Arizona XC’s bright spots. She shined for the Wildcats, competing in six events and finishing top-five amongst her teammates in each one. Baragar-Petrash wasn’t just ahead of the sports other top freshman in 2016, she was also holding her own against the rest of the pack, finishing top-10 twice. As a sophomore, Baragar-Petrash continued to improve her marks. A fourth place finish at the Dave Murray Invitational and a top-30 placing at the NCAA Division I West Region Cross Country Championships highlighted her 2017 campaign. Although Baragar-Petrash trailed seniors Claire Green and Addi Zerrenner in the 6,000 meter run, she still managed to shave more than a minute off her freshman-year PR (personal record). Baragar-Petrash made leaps and bounds between her freshman and sophomore seasons racing XC. Now, fully equipped to handle the pressures of being an upperclassman, Baragar-Petrash will take aim at All-American status. Baragar-Petrash has been on fire as of late, posting top-five finishes in six outings from March 17 through April 28.

ARIZONA’S HUNTER DAVILA RUNS during the Cross Country Pac-12 Championships on Oct. 28, 2016.

STEVEN SPOONER | THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA MIDFIELDER MORGAN MCGARRY winds up to take a shot against Florida Gulf Coast on Sept. 8, 2017. McGarry earned All Pac-12 Second team honors in 2017.

Hunter Davila – Cross Country Hunter Davila is a soon-to-be senior and over the last three years, he has blossomed into a formidable force in the cross country realm. In 2017, Davila got off to a sizzling start, snagging first place honors in the 6k at the Dave Murray Invitational. In October 2017, Davila competed at the Adidas DI Pre-Nationals. He struggled to maintain a similar pace throughout the rest of the season, but in doing so demonstrated a resiliency to never give up. Davila kicked off his participation in track and field’s 2018 outdoor season at the Larry Wieczorek Invitational in January, submitting a time of 8:34.93 in the 3000 meter run - good enough for an eighth place finish. Over the next several months Davila balanced out several poor results with a pair of first-place finishes. Heading into the final stages of his XC career, teammates and coaches alike expect Davila to finish strong. Fine-tuning his racing mechanics and working hard to increase his durability will be Davila’s primary points of focus over the summer. He is expected to lead the way for the men’s team in 2018.

DEFENSIVE DYNAMO

Morgan McGarry – Soccer Some athletes fold when they’re challenged to compete outside their comfort zone. That’s not what happened with Arizona redshirt junior midfielder Morgan McGarry when coaches moved her to the backline. McGarry transitioned to a defensive role in 2017 after playing sparingly the season prior. Although she was a highly touted player at the prep level, an ACL injury during her senior year prevented her from making an immediate impact for the Wildcats. After redshirting in 2015, McGarry made just four appearances in 2016. In the offseason, coaches configured a lineup that featured McGarry in a new role — one that would hopefully better suit her abilities. Rather than pouting over a position change, McGarry took advantage of the fresh start. Her performance on the field noticeably improved. She started and played in every match, compiling 1,892 minutes along Arizona’s backline. Her consistency on the field and willingness to compete at a new position was rewarded at the conclusion of the season. McGarry was named to the 2017 All-Pac-12 Second Team and earned 2017 Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention honors.

DIGITAL RENDERING OF PLANS for a new athletics training facility. The new state-of-the-art indoor practice facility will help keep athletes fit without wearing them out in the Arizona heat.

Upgrades to several sports facilities planned BY AMIT SYAL @asyal21

After the completion of the 2018 sports season, Arizona will begin renovations on athletic facilities. These renovations will include changes to Arizona Stadium, Hillenbrand Stadium,

Hillenbrand Aquatic Center and McKale Center. In addition, an indoor sports center will be built across the street from the current Arizona Stadium. The Arizona Board of Regents approved Director of Athletics Dave Heeke’s $66 million Capital Improvement Plan to upgrade UA’s sports facilities in September 2017. All of the renovations

are expected to be completed by January 2019, just in time for the next spring season of Arizona sports. “The first shot out of the box that we want to make sure that people recognize is that we’re doing things that directly benefit the student,” said Steve Kozachik, associate director of athletics,

facilities and capital projects at UA, in a press release. The first set of renovations to the Arizona Stadium include upgrades to the lower-east concourse and to the ZonaZoo section. These renovations include new restrooms and concession facilities and also upgrading access points on different ends of the stadium. The renovations are expected to be completed just

in time for the home opener on Sept. 1, 2018 against BYU. Hillenbrand Stadium, home to Arizona softball, will start its renovations once the ‘Cats end their 2018 season. The changes will include upgrades to the press box and seating area behind home plate. The stadium opened in 1993 and its last renovations were in 2006. The previous renovations included a padded outfield wall, weather-resistant surface, new video board and outfield bleachers. The current $8 million project is expected to be completed

by the start of the 2019 season. Hillenbrand Aquatic Center started its $15 million renovations on April 1, 2018 and they should be completed by January 2019. These changes include changing the current 50-meter pool to a 65-meter pool, adding four more 25yard short course lanes (from 18 to 22), and upgrading the current pump and plumbing infrastructure in the facility. McKale Center will undergo $1.5 million in renovations, including an upgraded lower concourse area and new locker rooms for a variety of sports, including men’s golf, soccer,

men’s tennis and women’s track and field. The renovation process started earlier this year in March, and is expected to be completed by Aug. 15, 2018, just before the start of the 2018-2019 academic year. Construction of the new indoor sports complex began in April 2018, with an expected completion of December 2018. The $18 million complex will include a 90-yard field with a 10yard end zone and a climate-controlled space for enhanced training and conditioning. The complex will stretch from Sixth Street to the Ginny L. Clements Academic Center.

Behind the fee: What does your athletics fee give you access to? BY MARISSA HEFFERNAN @_mheffernan

Dave Heeke was hired as the new Arizona athletic director in February 2017. One of his first actions as AD was to institute a newer trend in college athletics: the student athletics fee. The official Arizona Athletics website states the fee is to support “athletics programs, facilities and improvement of the student and fan experience.”

The fee is $100 for incoming undergraduates and $50 for incoming graduate students. Graduate students have the option of opting out of the fee. Paying the fee grants access to baseball, women’s basketball, beach volleyball, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field and volleyball games. Admission to hockey games, as a club sport, is not included with the fee. To attend football and men’s basketball, incoming students will still need to

purchase a ZonaZoo membership. Those memberships come in three tiers. The Blue membership is $100 and includes football, but not men’s basketball. It also includes priority purchase for bowl game tickets and an official ZonaZoo t-shirt. The Red membership is $150 and grants access for both football and men’s basketball. Red membership holders also get an official ZonaZoo t-shirt and priority purchase for postseason tickets. The White membership is only

available to graduate students that have paid the athletic fee. It is $125, and grants access to both football and men’s basketball. White membership holders get an official ZonaZoo t-shirt and their family members can purchase tickets at the general ticket price. Students enrolled at the UA before fall 2017, who will not be paying the athletics fee, will still need to purchase a ZonaZoo pass for access to any of the listed sports, as Red and Blue memberships also include access to other sports.

COMMENTARY | ZONAZOO

ZonaZoo means passion, fun, supporting athletes MAX COHEN @maxcohen_dw

hat does it mean to be a member of the ZonaZoo? Let’s start by saying what being a member of the ZonaZoo doesn’t mean. It does not mean being a part of some elite student section that has recognition from an online poll. It doesn’t mean going to games to snap a pic for social media. It’s not an excuse to tailgate all day on game days because the Pac-12 schedules the University of Arizona seemingly only night games. Being a member of the student section means being a part of something bigger than simply being a fan. It’s something bigger than being a member of the University of Arizona community. It’s a chance for thousands of Arizona students to join together as one to try to make an impact on the game and cheer on their student-athlete peers. The ZonaZoo is the students’ means of doing so. Being a member of the Zoo means showing up to games

early to cheer on the football team during warmups and yelling until your throat hurts in the fourth quarter. It means leading the Tucson community in cheers and chants in the McKale Center. It’s about demanding excellence from the sports teams that represent us. And it’s always about beating that team in Tempe. Being in the ZonaZoo also means having fun. It’s in no way mandatory for incoming freshman to buy the pass. It’s expensive. Sure, football games might be a hot social event, but it’s still meant to be about the football, especially with the one of the best quarterbacks in college football on the field in Khalil Tate. Having fun in the Zoo also has a great deal to do with the on-field/court product. Winning is fun and losing is not. It goes back to wanting excellence from the players on the field, the coaching staff and the administration. Being loud reflects the fans’ desire to win. The players feed off that. It’s more fun to be in the Zoo and be loud than to watch on a TV. It’s a better atmosphere that way and one that can propel a football program out of the quagmire of mediocrity. The ZonaZoo is also a great way for sports fans to get involved. Having a passion for Arizona athletics and the ZonaZoo is common among students, and the

ZonaZoo is how students can act on their passion. Athletics is one of the biggest draws at UA. It’s one of the biggest marketing tools for the university and, up until the past few years, hasn’t been too terribly disappointing. In the last few years, student attendance at football games hit a new low, and men’s basketball still has some open student seats at tip-off. Have an amazing year in the Zoo. Go to football games. Go to men’s basketball games. But also, don’t forget the non-revenue sports. The women’s soccer team won a program-high seven Pac-12 games last season and is improving. The women’s basketball team has a chance of being one of the top Pac-12 teams next year. Beach volleyball games are always fun to go to in the spring when the weather is nice. The softball team is consistently among the best in the country and will be playing in an upgraded Hillenbrand Stadium. Access to these games are all included in your ZonaZoo pass, should you elect to buy one. These athletes are an important part of the campus culture and deserve a larger student crowd than they had this past year. — Editor’s note: Max Cohen is a beat reporter for women’s soccer and softball. He is also a member of the ZonaZoo.
