New duo to lead writing program

BY Samuel Gross

Arizona Summer Wildcat

This summer, the UA introduced its new online university, UA Online, in order to keep up with the increasing demand for online-learning programs. This shift prompted the Department of English to hire a new director of the Writing Program, Susan Miller-Cochran.

Though Miller-Cochran is the director of the Writing Program as a whole, assistant visiting professor Shelley Rodrigo will be the director of the Online Writing Program for the next academic year. Both Miller-Cochran and Rodrigo bring a wealth of digital instruction experience, but Rodrigo’s presence will make the implementation of the writing program run more smoothly.

“The Online Writing Program is just getting off of the ground and really needs someone’s full attention,” Miller-Cochran said.

Rodrigo is a veteran of online teaching, and her experience and passion will help ease the stress of bringing in a new director and launching a new online program.

“Right now, the English department at the UA is going online, and they have more or less never done that in the past,” Rodrigo said. “Not only do I bring my experience, but I bring ten-plus years of professional qualification of helping faculty across disciplines of teaching with technology.”

UA Online as well as the Online Writing Program are being geared

toward a specific set of students: individuals who are working fulltime or returning to school.

Outside of UA Online, other UA students won’t be seeing much of these new online English classes.

Their availability will, at least for now, be limited to a few summer session courses.

In the future, however, MillerCochran would like to see the program grow outside of UA Online. She particularly wants to use it to develop courses for students with disabilities or those who may not learn well in traditional, face-to-face classes.

“I think that’s really what our focus is, as opposed to just kind of growing the program or targeting it towards students who really would benefit from a faceto-face environment,“ MillerCochran said. “We’re trying to find the ways to really meet the needs of all our students.”

The implementation of this new online university also prompts the revamping of its interface, something that MillerCochran and Rodrigo stressed with the new UA Online program.

The days of largely text-based online classes are over, and Max Rich, a public health senior, thinks this is a good thing.

“I was lucky to have a really good [teaching assistant] … someone who was like, always available,” Rich said regarding an online class he took via D2L. “Whenever I had a question about something [my TA] was really easy to get in touch with­— but a lot of the students did

struggle with it.”

UA Online intends to address this issue with the design of its courses. Rodrigo specifically teaches her instructors how to prompt their students to interact with one another and build a community, similar to what would happen in a traditional classroom setting.

In an effort to steer instructors away from teaching primarily with text, instructors will employ

screen-capture technology, which will allow them to record audio responses to the students writing.

“As a student, if you could actually hear your instructor responding to your writing instead of just reading the comments on the screen ... there’s some advantages and disadvantages to that kind of comment thing, and there has been some really outstanding research in our field to support

According to the UA Online website tuition for fully online undergraduate degrees ranges from $490 to $515 per credit hour, with no program costs or differentiation between resident and non-resident costs.

POLICE BEAT Caught red handed

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a shoplifter in custody at the Student Union Memorial Center Bookstore on June 30 at 1:24 p.m.

A UA Loss Prevention officer stopped a pair of female minors leaving the bookstore after observing surveillance footage of one minor stealing a clear plastic ID cardholder.

Footage showed one minor placing the item in her hand under her phone before checking out the rest of the merchandise. Later, after peeling off the price tag, it was placed in her purse with the phone.

One minor is a future freshman visiting with her friend from California.

When questioned she said she picked up the cardholder and asked her friend if she was going to buy it because it was only $3.

Despite its low cost, the bookstore policy is to prosecute regardless of the dollar amount. She admitted to unintentionally stealing the card holder.

Nevertheless, she was charged with larceny.

UAPD completed a Pima County Juvenile Court paper referral, and she was released.

Smelly cleats

A UAPD officer conducted a traffic stop on a BMW on July 5 at 10:49 p.m. after noticing the vehicle had expired tags on its license plate.

The male driver identified himself as a UA student and admitted knowing his registration was expired. Meanwhile the officer could smell marijuana inside the vehicle and asked the driver about it.

The driver said his friends frequently borrow his car, but he was not aware of any marijuana.

When searching the vehicle the officer noticed a blue pair of Nike football cleats. Inside the cleats was a clear plastic bag with 2.4 grams of marijuana.

The student said he plays football but the cleats belong to his friend.

He was charged for driving with a suspended license and possession of marijuana.

“I don’t want to lie to you”

A UAPD officer noticed a red pick-up truck traveling well above the speed limit, heading westbound on Sixth Street on July 9 at 3:28 p.m.

Radar clocked the pick-up going 42 mph in a posted 30 mph zone.

After conducting a traffic stop the officer noticed the smell of marijuana coming from the driver’s open window.

When asked about the smell the driver replied, “I don’t know.” He added that he was driving his mother-in-law’s truck for the day. The officer then asked the driver to step out so he could conduct a search.

The driver quickly changed his mind, responding, “I don’t want to lie to you, it’s in the glove box.”

The officer asked what was in the glove box? He replied, “weed” rolled in a “blunt.”

The search of the vehicle revealed a Swisher Sweet Cigarillos bag in the glove box containing one rolled, brown cigar containing a leafy green substance consistent with the odor and appearance of marijuana.

The driver added he received the marijuana from a friend, and he smokes it once a day for pain in his webbed feet.

The driver was arrested for possession of marijuana, cited and released.

UA reaches for the night sky

Rebecca Noble/Arizona Summer Wildcat

An overhead view of the mold used to make the seven mirrors in the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab on Monday, July 13, for the Giant Magellen telescope, expected to be completed in 2025.

With two astronomy departments, the UA participates in scientific advancements both inside and outside this solar system with partners like NASA

In 1922, with the founding of the Steward Observatory, the UA proved itself to be a national leader in astronomical research and exploration. The two astronomy departments— the Department of Astronomy and the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory—continue to reach for the stars with new projects and discoveries.

According to Thomas Fleming, professor and astronomer for the Steward Observatory, the university’s relationship with the govt. agency reaches back to the founding of NASA, around 1958.

“In 1960, University of Arizona President Richard Harvill [asked] Professor Kuiper to come to the university, and we became the

first people funded by NASA,” Fleming said. “So since the beginning, the UA has always had a strong connection to NASA, which I think makes us stand out.”

The current, much expanded Steward Observatory is now home to the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab, which casts mirrors for large-scale telescopes around the world. Instead of the normal, single-mirror design, the mirrors are cast in a honeycomb structure, which greatly improves telescope performance.

The mirror lab is responsible for casting some of the largest mirrors in the world, measuring 8.4 meters in diameter, for the Giant Magellan Telescope project at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, as detailed in a recent release by the mirror lab.

The most recent project is making a mirror for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope to be located on Cerro Pachón, also in Chile, which will create a 10-year survey of the night sky, looking at factors that change in brightness or position. More information on the telescope can be found at LSST.org.

Another project currently in the works is HiRISE, or High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. HiRISE is a highresolution camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which, according to co-investigator for HiRISE and assistant professor for UA Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Shane Byrne, is the most powerful camera sent to another planet.

“The main goals [of HiRISE] started off more in the

investigation of things that were too small to be seen with previous cameras,” Byrne explained. “We are now transitioning to looking at how things are changing on the surface.”

HiRISE sets the future for Mars exploration and recently found dark streaks that flow slowly downhill—what the team believes to be liquid water. The latest update from HiRISE is from July 1, and photographs from the orbiter are available at uahirise.org.

While HiRISE is busy taking pictures of Mars, another spacecraft is being prepared to launch in September 2016.

This spacecraft is part of NASA’s Origins-Spectral InterpretationResource IdentificationSecurity-Regolith Explorer mission, commonly referred to

as OSIRIS-REx, led by the UA. The spacecraft is set to travel to the near-Earth asteroid, Bennu, and retrieve a 60-gram sample back to Earth for scientists to study.

The goal of this mission is to help scientists understand early solar system composition and the source of the organic materials on Earth, as stated in a recent news release by the OSIRIS-REx team. More information about the mission can be found at asteroidmission.org.

“It’s very exciting for students to get involved in active missions going on, and our sheer size and diversity are amazing,” Byrne said. “The impact of our scientific results is second only to NASA." — Follow Ariana Manson @DailyWildcat

Lightning sparks fire in Catalina Mountains

BY David McGlothlin

Arizona Summer Wildcat

A bolt of lightning ignited the Buster Mountain Fire at 3:30 p.m. on Monday afternoon in the Pusch Ridge Wilderness region of the Santa Catalina Mountains.

Heidi Schewel, a public affairs officer for the Coronado National Forest, said the fire is approximately 130 acres in size, and is burning short grass on steep, rocky, inaccessible terrain— beneficial to the region where excessive vegetation is common.

“A lightning strike, for us, is an opportunity for fire to perform its natural role on the land if no humanassociated values are at risk,” Schewel said.

Frequent, low-intensity fires have always helped maintain landscapes. Schewel added, “In the last 100 years or so, we have done a lot of fire suppression … that has led to an excess build up of vegetation in many areas.”

As a result, the fire is currently in monitor status, which means fire personnel are watching the blaze from below. If necessary, they are prepared to go into suppression mode. However, according to Schewel, “there is no indication at this time that is going to happen.”

Schewel added that the weather would determine the next course of action, as rain could help stop the fire, and high winds could agitate it.

Another fraternity loses recognition at UA

BY Rofida khairalla

Arizona Summer Wildcat

After 56 years, the Epsilon Epsilon chapter Delta Tau Delta at the UA has been shut down. The chapter, established in 1959, was the longest continuously active fraternity on campus.

The suspension is the fifth of its kind to occur over the last three years, yet, unlike the disbandment of Phi Gamma Delta, also known as FIJI, this decision was not completely in the hands of UA officials.

On July 2, the Dean of Students Office was called on by the official office of the Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity to disband the chapter after its failure to make significant changes during a probationary period.

“We’ve had a lot of hard-working alumni working with that group for the last three or four months, and our guys just were not changing their behavior for the better,” said Jack Kreman, chief operating officer for the Delta Tau Delta central office. “And our board, based on those things, had indicated in the spring [that] the group needed

to improve or this was a potential outcome. Based on these facts, our board decided to proceed with the suspension of the chapter.”

According to university policy, if a chapter’s standing with its international organization is compromised, the UA cannot maintain recognition.

“We want to give the national organization credit for doing what they thought was the right [course of action]: Holding members accountable to their bylaws and their values and taking action,” said Chris Sigurdson, vice president of communications for the Office of University Relations.

Yet, while the central office cites failure to improve operational aspects of the chapter as the main reason for the suspension, UA’s Fraternity and Sorority Programs has confirmed some instances of hazing as a probable cause, as well.

According to Johanne JensenIves, assistant dean of students for Fraternity and Sorority Programs, hazing was the “crux of the issue” during investigations.

“There were some issues they had with physical altercations that occurred

with a registered date dash, but the majority of the violations for their code of conduct case that the organization had in the fall was around their new member program and hazing,” JensenIves said.

Hazing, the act of humiliating or exposing others to emotional or bodily harm as a type of initiation ritual, has been among the more prominent causes for loss of recognition for other fraternities on campus, including Pi Kappa Phi and Tau Kappa Epsilon.

While Ives said she does not believe that there has been an increase in hazing, she noted that there has been an increase of reporting of hazing, leading to the loss of recognition for more organizations.

In their official press release, Delta Tau Delta’s national office also cites failure to adhere to the fraternity’s risk-management guidelines and not meeting academic requirements.

As for the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house, located on First Street and privately owned by Delta Tau Delta alumni, decisions are still being made, Kreman noted. Whether the house will be transformed into dorms like the Phi

Javi Perez/Arizona Summer Wildcat

The Delta Tau Delta fraternity house is located on the northeast corner of First Street and Cherry Avenue. After losing recognition from the UA, the future of the house remains to be decided.

Gamma Delta house or abandoned like the Delta Chi facility remains to be seen.

The central office hopes to return to the university in the future and reopen the chapter.

“We think the University of Arizona is a world class institution full of fantastic students and we want to be

there down the line,” Kreman said. “We just want to be better when we’re back.”

Twilight Thursdays

8 • Arizona Summer Wildcat

Arizona Summer Wildcat • 9

at Tucson Botanical Gardens

BY ALEXIS WRIGHT

Arizona Summer Wildcat

COURTESY OF THE PORTER FAMILY

THE PORTER FAMILY began Desert Gardens nursery in 1931 soon after their marriage. Nicknamed "Porterville," the nursery contained not only room for their flora, but a corral for their two horses, as well. The corral was located where Tucson Botanical Gardenscurrently houses its Sensory Garden.

COURTESY OF THE PORTER FAMILY

THE HISTORICAL GARDEN at Tucson Botanical Gardens holds several of the Porters' original plants, including citrus, roses, privet, sweet olive, nandina, pomegranate, Aleppo pine, pyrancantha, iris, chaste-tree and jasmine.

On a warm and breezy Thursday evening in Tucson at a café nestled among the trees, Tucson Botanical Gardens plays host to the indulgence of good food and nature.

Twilight Thursdays are three-course, pre-set dinners at $20 per person. Dessert and beverages are at a separate cost, and if you bring your own wine or beer, they supply the glasses.

Available weekly for the rest of the summer, and with a menu that changes every week, Café Botanica is open from 5-8 p.m., leaving gusts relaxed and full of quality food.

The small, hidden café is a quaint addition to the expansive gardens. Engulfed by greenery, diners are transported to a whole other world, right in the middle of the American Southwest.

This past week’s meal started with pan-seared Queso Fresco flambéed with tequila, served with house-made toasts and a wedge of lime as an appetizer, finished off with their Summer Tomatillo and Cucumber Gazpacho. For the entrée, diners were given the choice of either the Bótanica Tamale Pie with hand-made Masa Botanical Garden Cured Olives and Double Check Ranch Shredded Beef topped with a rustic Ranchero Sauce, or stuffed, braised Sleeping Frog Farm Kale with butternut squash, Ramona Farms Chick Peas drizzled with tarragon pesto crema.

Inspired by the local and regional cuisine, owner, caterer and chef Kristine Jensen thought up each detailed menu item produced daily by chefs John Gallaher and Brian Hagan. The café not only has delicious eats, but also homemade drinks and syrups from native plants like the prickly pear cactus.

Jensen describes her food as seasonal, imaginative and delicious. Many components of her recipes come directly from the Tucson Botanical Gardens and local businesses like Sleeping Frog Farms, Double Check Ranch and Ramona Farms.

For example, a Tucson couple brings in all different kinds of citrus, Jensen noted—things like kumquats, lemons and oranges, among others, which they barter with. The couple is paid per pound for their produce and eats at the café three to four times a week.

Jensen noted that being able to use small vendors instead of larger agri-businesses, like with her catering company, proved to be more suitable to a café, where new concoctions go straight from the kitchen to eager eaters.

The café and gardens were built and thrive on the grounds of a former Tucson family. The Porter family was involved with gardening and sustainability and left a legacy filled with everything earthy.

Tucson Botanical Gardens is a section 501(c)3 non-profit group that advocates for responsible and appropriate plant and water use in a desert environment. With education classes

and exhibits, attendees and members learn the importance of taking care of the local environment; the way Bernice Porter would have wanted it.

Bernice Porter was a woman who was dedicated to creating a garden that doubled as both something appealing to look at and as a community center that educated the public about local flora and ways of cultivation.

She and her husband, Rutger, raised a family, owned a nursery business called Desert Gardens Nursery and were active Tucsonans. Of the original combination of Mediterranean, native, and other various plants installed at the gardens, many survived and blossomed into what garden attendees see today.

After Rutger passed away, Bernice deeded the grounds to the city of Tucson, which in turn passed a resolution in 1974 merging Tucson Botanical Gardens and the Porter grounds to be used for a public horticultural oasis, botanical garden, bird haven and educational center.

The Porter’s family house was renovated and turned into a library, an art gallery and office spaces for current Tucson Botanical Garden administration.

By maintaining forethought to teach awareness of the environment, the Porters helped preserve the history of Tucson’s gardening practices, noted Melissa D’Auria, director of marketing and communications for Tucson Botanical Gardens.

“People just feel really special when they’re here,” D’Auria said.

For nature goers and those in search of a peaceful place for a picnic, the gardens are open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and weekends from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to both members and the general public.

Until August, entrance fees are $9 for adults, $8 for military, seniors and students, and $5 for children ages 4-12.

As the sun descends over wholesome fare and twilight takes over, Jensen simply puts it, “We want people to come, eat and have a great meal.”

Family friendly fun at Loft Kids Fest

BY Alexis Wright

Arizona Summer Wildcat

The excited chattering of young voices fills the air as families pile into the Loft Cinema for a Saturday morning adventure into the world of the Muppets and the chance to sing along. The Loft Cinema, a local Tucson hot spot and kid zone, offers a wide variety of budget-friendly entertainment opportunities.

The Loft is a nonprofit, independent movie theater that operates thanks to member support and has served the Tucson community since 1972.

The premier Tucson indie-theater offers many events and film festivals, such as the Loft Jr., a free screening of a movie that happens the second Saturday of every month and exhibits new and classic films from around the globe.

Family-friendly movies start at 10 a.m., preceded by arts and crafts at 9:15 a.m. Popcorn is even provided for some theater-style snacking while the children create. Last Saturday, children made their own Muppets to take home after the movie.

The 500-seat theatre was filled with noise and the organized chaos that only rambunctious youngsters could

create. Clad in a red monster shirt that Muppet fans recognized while picking up complementary glow sticks, program director Jeff Yanc noted the general assumption that everyone is able to afford to go see a movie, and how untrue that assumption is— especially regarding parents.

According to Yanc, The Loft hopes to provide family friendly entertainment to all economic demographics and to bring all kinds of films to the various families of Tucson.

The Loft’s Kids Fest starts July 18 and runs until July 26. The ninth annual, nine-day event aims to revive the spirit of movie going and will feature a free, family oriented movie each day, with activities and prizes for the younger attendees.

This year, the event will feature Harry Potter-themed activities, including an actual quidditch field for children to stretch their legs.

The event will also host musical performances by The Nap Skippers and One Man Train.

One such supporter, Trail Dust Town, has been a partner of The Loft for the past three years and puts an emphasis on family activities. Other such community partners include Whole Foods, the Department of

Transportation, Children’s Museum Tucson and El Grupo Youth Cycling, among others.

“We take pride in the awareness of the good things in Tucson for families to do,” said David Ragland, director of events and public relations for Trail Dust Town.

Trail Dust Town has been locally owned and operated for over 50 years, providing a trip into the past, right in the middle of Tucson.

The Old West park reached out to to form the partnership because the owners had always admired The Loft and been fans of the cinema’s work, Ragland noted. The Loft highlights pop-culture issues that could be swept under the rug, but instead were brought to Tucson.

To Yanc, exposing kids to these kinds of movies, like foreign films and documentaries, is a positive and gratifying part of working at The Loft.

“It’s bringing something magical and cool to these kids,” he said.

“There’s a whole universe of films out there.”

Devil You Know graces Tucson first in upcoming tour

BY Lior Attias

Arizona Summer Wildcat

Devil You Know, a metal rock band, will be performing at The Rialto Theatre on July 24. The band features a unique take on classic metal music.

John Sankey, drummer for Devil You Know, said the band features a wide variety of music, holding loosely to their metal roots while allowing a wide range of creativity.

“From day one, we decided we would give ourselves the freedom to try different things and not be restricted to one particular style or genre,” Sankey said. “If we want to write something super heavy and brutal, we will. If we want to play something slow and melodic, we will—there’s no rules!”

Francesco Artusato, on guitar, agrees.

“We all have different musical influences, and each one of us brings a unique element to the table,” Artusato said.

Artusato and Sankey are the band’s main writers, and for Artusato the unrestricted sound of the band provides an exceptional creative canvas.

“After years spent in bands with an already established sound, it’s very refreshing being in a band [with creative freedom],” Artusato said.

Sankey added, “[…] having that diversity and creative control is an awesome feeling.”

For Sankey, the unbridled nature of the band comes as a part of their desire to have an authentic focus on the music.

“We just … write tunes we dig,” he said. “We’re not trying to reinvent music or discover something that’s never been heard before. We just do our thing. At the end of the day, Devil You Know is our time to have fun and do what we love without any rules.”

The organic creative writing process reflects the band’s origins. Devil You Know was started a few years ago by

Sankey and Artusato as a side project.

The two friends found they had a knack for writing, eventually compiling over a dozen songs.

“We really liked the material and were curious to hear [how it] would sound with vocals,” Sankey said. The band searched for a singer that could balance melody with metal and reached out to Howard Jones, who quickly became a close friend to the duo.

“Sometimes we would talk on the phone for hours and wouldn’t even mention music,” Sankey said. “We got to know each other and became good mates before we even met or hung out.” Jones joined the band, and in 2012 the three flew out to LA to record their first demos.

The band now features what Artusato says is a “pretty heavy and dark sound that also incorporates a very melodic approach.”

The band members are certainly veterans to metal music with plenty

of experience under their belts. Jones had played with Killswitch Engage and Blood Has Been Shed, earning two gold records and a Grammy nomination. Sankey played for the Australian band Devolved and worked with Fear Factory and Divine Heresy.

Artusato worked as a solo artist on the Francesco Artusato Project and played guitar for Divine Heresy.

Tucson is the first stop in the group’s first tour since last October. The band will be performing with Coal Chamber and Fear Factory.

“This [tour] is definitely special because I was listening to Coal Chamber and Fear Factory back when I was still in school,” Sankey said. “I’ve always been a fan of both bands.”

Sankey has worked with musicians from Fear Factory on past music projects and albums.

Not only does Devil You Know pride themselves on their creative freedom and musical chops, the band also likes to keep things lighthearted on stage.

“Some bands have really serious and dramatic live gigs—which is cool, but that’s definitely not our style, especially with Howard cracking jokes after every song,” Sankey said. “It’s a good time! With Devil You Know, we just like to have fun onstage and leave the audience [with] a loud, sweaty, energetic experience.”

LGBTQ rights in the race for president

BY Nick Havey

Arizona Summer Wildcat

Humans of New York, the popular photoblog by Brandon Stanton, posted a picture July 3 of a young boy sitting on a stoop with the caption, “I’m homosexual and I’m afraid about what my future will be and that people won’t like it.” The photoblog, which garners impressive social media attention, spiked after 2016 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton dropped in with some kind words and her signature “-H.” Her comment, which read, “Prediction from a grown-up: Your future is going to be amazing. You will surprise yourself with what you’re capable of and the incredible things you go on to do. Find the people who love and believe in you—there will be lots of them. -H,” resonated with a deluge of positive comments from others, including Ellen DeGeneres who commented, “Not only will people like you, they’ll love you. I just heard of you and I love you already.”

In commenting, Clinton made what many criticized to be a calculated move to garner

support for her campaign. With the landmark June 26 ruling, Americans increasingly support marriage equality and equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-identifying folks. In providing support to a young gay kid, Clinton made a move that will undoubtedly help her campaign; that it may have been calculated should not be criticized, but instead lauded.

While Clinton doesn’t have a track record of supporting marriage equality and LGBTQ rights that dates to antiquity (Hello, DOMA) her support is there, and that matters. And while her support may have come as late as 2013, with her previously concluding that marriage was strictly between a man and a woman and rooted in deep historical context, merely stepping up to the plate and accepting a now commonly held opinion isn’t evil or questionable, it’s just smart.

In 2011, two years before she formally announced her support for marriage equality in a very uncomfortable, eye contact-laden video, Clinton gave a powerful speech at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. The highlight of the speech, and also the most relevant portion, is this: “Being LGBT does not make you less human. And that is why gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights.”

In June of last year, Clinton sat down with

NPR’s "Fresh Air" host and co-executive quipped that the Clintons test-poll where to producer Terry Gross. Gross, a relentless yet vacation. She’s listening to the people, her tactful interviewer, made a point to question constituents, and adapting her views to suit Clinton’s “evolution” on the issue of marriage what the majority wants.

The fact of the matter is that Americans equality.

Prompting Clinton, perhaps in the hopes overwhelmingly support marriage equality of jumbling her up, Gross asked, “What’s and, in smaller percentages, overturning all of the discriminatory legislation it like when you’re in office that currently infringes on the and you have to do all these human rights of the LGBTQ political calculations to not be Merely community. Supporting marriage able to support something like stepping up equality and equality in general gay marriage that you actually is no longer a radical gesture of believe in?” striking at the to the plate and political liberalness and progress confusion many hold regarding accepting a now but instead an almost-mandated her perceived flip-flopping on commonly held marriage equality. opinion isn’t evil or statement of not being a bigoted, Clinton responded adroitly, questionable, it’s just unchanging cyborg.

Don’t criticize Clinton for noting that the nature of being smart. reevaluating her stance as it becomes human includes the freedom to less and less popular to go against it; change opinions. “I think that, laud her for embracing a majority as I said, just as the president has said, you know, just because you’re a opinion that she has, admittedly, done some work politician doesn’t mean you’re not a thinking to help. If anyone wants to be taken seriously, by human being. And you gather information. millennial voters especially, they’ll need to adapt You think through positions. You’re not and reevaluate, and she’s at least making an effort 100 percent set, thank goodness. You’re that might be a trump card during primaries. constantly reevaluating where you stand.”

This reevaluation is an adept and talented interpretation of the way politics should be, and it’s no secret that the Clintons are in-tune — Follow Nick Havey with how to play politics; an Atlantic article @NiHavey

Art and the artist: Cosby and a dark history of rape

BY Greg Castro

Arizona Summer Wildcat

While it’s certainly important to never presume guilt in any situation, whether that is in the realm of popular opinion or a court of law, it’s more than safe at this point to accept that Bill Cosby is every bit the sex criminal he has been accused of being for over a year now. The Associated Press reported July 6 they had obtained court documents from 2005 in which Cosby confesses to not only purchasing Quaaludes, but to using them on at least one woman.

This is likely a lie of omission; more than 30 women have accused Cosby of assault since 2014. With the dates of these alleged assaults spanning decades, it’s hard to see the comedian as anything other

than a serial rapist. As prosecution is unlikely, the victims’ only consolation will have to be the knowledge that the former “family man” will now go down in history as a pervert and a hypocrite.

And while it’s hard to imagine any young college students reading this article being particularly torn up over the loss of innocence when it comes to the Cosby legacy—as Amy Schumer put it in a recent sketch “the next time you put on a rerun of the ‘The Cosby Show,’ you may wince a little,"—this story once again begs the timeless question: Can we separate the art from the artist?

Not two years ago, the public was grappling with the same issue as The New York Times ran Dylan Farrow’s scathing “What’s your favorite Woody Allen movie?” column. In that piece, Farrow urged not only fans but also the actors involved with the director to consider that support of his works is tantamount

to tacit acceptance of his history of maybe you should go out and rape sexual assault. Rarely has the line someone. Allen’s films, regardless of his personal legacy, represent been so clearly drawn in the sand.

And yet, as a film student, I find the pinnacle of 1960s-’70s New this dichotomy somewhat difficult Hollywood cinema and feature to accept. Freshman coursework themes of anxiety, loneliness, depression and longing at any film school that appeal to all requires study of such This story generations. Along with classics as “The Birth of a Nation” and “Triumph once again Coppola, Lucas and of the Will,” which were begs the timeless Spielberg, Woody Allen Hollywood cool respectively directed question: Can we made again. by a flaming racist and, “The Cosby Show” can you know, a Nazi. Not separate the art claim no such profound only this, but those from the artist? legacy, though it was films actually promote progressive for its time. the horrific agendas of their auteurs. For those unfamiliar, Are black Americans who grew “The Birth of a Nation” follows the up watching Cosby in the ’80s, “heroic” exploits of the Ku Klux feeling inspired by its depiction Klan in the Reconstruction era of a successful African-American South, and Triumph is 114 minutes family, now supposed to feel of why you should join the National ashamed of those memories? Can they not remember the program Socialist Party.

At least when you watch “Annie for what it was and leave its star’s Hall,” at no point does a character horrible history out of the equation?

“

that anyone go out and make a point of watching any of these nowcontroversial works. If the presence of a controversial personality or controversial subject matter proves distracting, there are of course many equally worthwhile alternatives in any medium. And, as mentioned before, it’s doubtful that any of us were planning on marathoning “The Cosby Show” sometime soon anyway. In any case, it may be worth reexamining the “baby with the bathwater” approach when it comes to these troublesome legacies. While the actions of these men will never be excused, their works remain significant.

Privatized prisons indicate corrupt system

BY Tanner Jean-Louis

Arizona Summer Wildcat

With 25 percent of the world’s prisoners, but only 5 percent of the world’s population, the United States has the highest level of incarceration in the world. About one out of every 100 Americans are currently in prison; for African Americans that number is one in 15. Incarceration rates have been increasing in this country partly due to “tough on crime” politics, immigration laws that require lengthy detention, and drug laws that disproportionately incarcerate people of color and the poor for non-violent crimes.

Part of this push toward incarceration has been driven by the private prison industry. Accountable for 6 percent of state prisoners, 16 percent of federal prisoners and nearly half of immigration detainees, the private prison industry rakes in billions of dollars each year. The huge piles of taxpayer dollars being forked over to these corporations support multimillion-dollar salaries for top executives, as well as a massive lobbying effort.

The industry’s two largest companies, the GEO Group and the Corrections Corporation of America, have spent a combined $25 million on lobbying efforts since 1989 and donated $10 million to political candidates. These lobbyists try to secure more contracts for their company, but also lobby for laws that have a profound impact on our country.

Private prisons have a naturally skewed incentive structure: higher incarceration rates, longer sentences and lower standards mean higher profits. Unsurprisingly, the private prisons industry has directed much of their lobbying efforts to harsher sentencing laws, reduced parole time, drug criminalization, longer immigration detention and increased border patrol funding.

In addition to lobbying, the private prison industry relies on its ties to organizations such as the Koch brother’s American Legislative Exchange Council. A right-wing policy center, ALEC brings together state legislatures and large corporations to create new legislation. At ALEC’s lavish, corporatefunded retreats, corporate members have the opportunity to literally write laws in their interests and hand them over to lawmakers to introduce in their states.

These laws, called “model bills,” often appear in statehouses in the same word-for-word form they were introduced at ALEC meetings. Many laws linked to ALEC directly benefit the private prison industry, such as “three strikes” laws, “truth in sentencing,” and Arizona’s infamous SB 1070 law, which used racial profiling to increase the number of undocumented immigrants in detention centers.

Private prisons don’t only use legal means of bribery, such as campaign contributions or lobbying efforts; they also use plain old bribery.

In Pennsylvania, two judges were found guilty of accepting $2.6 million for sending children

to a private juvenile detention center for minor offenses, like stealing a DVD from Walmart or making fun of a school principal on Myspace.

A Mississippi Department of Correction official was found guilty of accepting over $700,000 in bribes in exchange for lucrative contracts to private companies. With these large corporations operating across the country, the problem is likely bigger than we know.

Private prisons have received increased attention in Arizona since violent riots broke out at a privately run facility in Kingman. The riots, which lasted several days, resulted in numerous injuries, and rendered the facility “uninhabitable,” prompting the costly transfer of over 1,000 inmates.

This isn’t the first major crisis to happen at this prison or it’s parent company, Management & Training Corporation.

In 2010, three inmates escaped from the Kingman facility after guards chose to ignore an alarm indicating that someone had cut through the fence. By the time they were captured, one of them had already murdered a couple in New Mexico.

Earlier this year, an Arizona couple announced they were suing the company and the state for $7.5 million after poor oversight resulted in their 23-year-old son being murdered in the prison.

These events are not surprising given the industry’s financial incentive structure. To save money, private corporations prefer to hire inexperienced guards at low wages. The guard overseeing the unit where the 23-year-old inmate was murdered was responsible for 200 inmates during his 16-hour shift.

Private prisons also skimp on services and facilities. At an MTC prison in Texas, a ceiling collapsed on dozens of inmates, leaving some of them in critical condition. Numerous private facilities around the country have been found to have substandard-to-non-existent medical care, abusive treatment, rampant sexual assault, vermin infestations and filthy living conditions.

Despite their terrible record in Arizona and elsewhere, private prisons are deeply entrenched in the state. After a state study found that private prisons were not more cost effective than public ones, the legislature decided to get rid of the law that required a price comparison. Former governor Jan Brewer received thousands in donations from private prisons to her campaigns and legislative efforts. Many of her top officials were former private prison lobbyists. Governor Doug Ducey, who has received at least $10,000 from private prison interests, has called for a full investigation into the Kingman riots. I wonder how rigorous it will be.

It is time for elected officials in Arizona and elsewhere to be honest about private prisons. Not only are they not cost effective—their main selling point—but they are often poorly run, abusive, insecure, and they bypass democracy. There are many situations where private companies can perform useful services to the public, such as public transportation, parking enforcement and public utilities, but with such a skewed incentive structure, private prisons are a terrible idea.

Wildcats seek college football awards

BY Ezra Amacher Arizona Summer Wildcat

With college football season only six weeks away, it’s that time of the summer when the National College Football Awards Association and fellow organizations reveal their award watch lists.

Watch lists, by definition, don’t mean much, and college football’s lists are particularly trivial, given that it is seemingly harder to be left out than put in.

However, it is mid-July, and in mid-July, there’s not usually a whole lot to talk about. So let’s dive in and see which Arizona players made it to these admittedly irrelevant lists.

Not surprisingly, the name Scooby Wright III has appeared on a few watch lists already. Wright, after all, took home some real hardware last season by winning the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Rotary Lombardi Award and the Chuck Bednarik Award.

Wright so far finds himself on the Bendarik Award and Nagurski Trophy watch lists, and should be the odds-on favorite to win both.

The junior is coming off a truly dominant 2014 season in which he ranked top five nationally in total tackles, tackles for loss, sacks and forced fumbles (hello Marcus Mariota.)

Basically, he did just about everything for Arizona’s defense. Given that the Wildcats lost a couple key guys like Tra’Mayne Bondurant and Jared Tevis, Wright will once again need to bring his indefatigable flair to every game.

Wright won’t be alone, however, just as he isn’t alone on the Bednarik Award watch list. His good friend, safety Will Parks, joins him there.

The Bednarik Award, given to the top defensive player in the nation, could wind up in the hands of Parks if the senior produces a final season to remember.

Last year, the Philadelphia native guided the Arizona secondary with 81 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and a pair of interceptions. Parks’ best performance came in the upset win at Oregon, when he recorded a career-high eight tackles.

Parks is known as another tireless worker, so it wouldn’t be a shock if he broke out on the national stage like Wright did this past season.

On the other side of the ball, Arizona’s projected starting quarterback and running back are among 13 Pac-12 Conference players on the Maxwell Award watch list.

The Maxwell Award is one of the most prestigious in the sport and last year was won by Oregon’s Mariota.

For either Anu Solomon or Nick Wilson to win the award would require a phenomenal season.

That’s not out of the question for either sophomore, who both put up prolific numbers in 2014 despite battling through injuries.

Solomon, the first freshman to ever start a season opener at Arizona, now has a year of college experience behind him. The UA coaching staff will surely hope that translates into improved decision making, which is one area Solomon struggled in.

As for Wilson, the 5-foot-10 back just needs to

stay on the field. Despite dealing with an ankle injury the latter half of the season, he set the school’s freshman rushing record.

Along with the big names, two other Wildcats have made award watch lists thus far; punter Drew Riggleman is up for the Ray Guy Award while offensive lineman Freddie Tagaloa, a Cal transfer, was named to the Outland Trophy watch

list.

Riggleman has his work cut out for him as Utah punter Tom Hackett won the Ray Guy Award last year. Tagaloa, meanwhile, is expected to carry the load up front for a rebuilding Arizona o-line.

Lindsey Weaver misses cut at U.S. Open

BY Justin Spears

Arizona Summer Wildcat

The Arizona women’s golf season ended in late May, but one Wildcat refuses to reveal her youth and was fortunate enough to finally play at a professional level.

Lindsey Weaver played the first two rounds of the U.S. Women’s Open Friday and Saturday before missing the cut.

Weaver is coming off a milestone season taking the Wildcats to great heights. She played among a team that has a rising star in Krystal Quihuis, who still remains an underclassman, and fellow veteran Manon Gidali. Weaver took a team that had key pieces to succeed and led thenNo. 6 Arizona to a Pac-12 Conference Championship.

Weaver played in the conference championship as the No. 34-ranked player among other NCAA Division I golfers.

When thinking about Pac-12 dominance in sports, Arizona will usually be mixed in basketball or softball conversations, but women’s golf was put back on the map after Weaver led Arizona to the school’s eighth conference championship.

Arizona would earn a conference title in arguably the toughest conference in

women’s golf. More eyebrows rose Arizona’s way, considering the conference contained seven teams in the top 25. Arizona finished ahead of No. 1 Washington, No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 Southern California, No. 17 Stanford, No. 18 ASU and No. 23 Oregon.

Weaver shot a second round of 67 in the conference championship, which would tie Weaver’s season low.

Head coach Laura Ianello was fortunate to land Weaver in 2013 after she was a highly touted prospect transferring from Notre Dame. Weaver’s prosperity began in South Bend, Ind., when she earned Big East Women’s Golf Player of the Year and was named to the All-Big East Women’s Golf Team.

Simply put, Weaver is a young golfer with a high ceiling at the professional level despite being cut at the Women’s U.S. Open.

Setting the tone for a successful professional career at the collegiate level is what Weaver had in mind, however, she appeared to be shaking off the cobwebs from the NCAA Championships in May. Weaver shot an opening round of 76 strokes (+6) and had an off day without any birdies or eagles. She would go on to bogey thrice on the front nine and thrice on

the back nine.

The bleeding would stop the following day in the second round after Weaver only shot one bogey on the front nine.

That bogey would only come on the first hole and it was smooth sailing from there.

Unfortunately for Weaver, she couldn’t dig herself out of the hole she dug in the opening round by not shooting any birdies. Weaver was heading into a crucial back nine and had very little momentum, considering she didn’t hit one birdie the entire tournament.

Weaver fell off-track bogeying on the 10th, 11th and 15th holes while shooting par for the others shooting a 74(+4). Weaver would miss the cut finishing tied for 150th place (+10). South Korea's In Gee Chun won the tournament Sunday, finishing eight-under-par.

Weaver led Arizona to a NCAA Championship run, which was ended

by Stanford, but Weaver’s exhilarating offseason should be a key piece for the Wildcats next season.

Brothers making '87-'88 UA hoops film

BY Justin Spears

Arizona Summer Wildcat

Arizona head coach Sean Miller was hired by the school in 2009 and emphasized being “A Player’s Program." Players from the past, present and future all belong to a rich tradition of Arizona basketball. Two brothers will create a documentary that will show how Arizona basketball became a blue blood program.

Sean and Brad Malone grew up watching basketball in Tucson and remember McKale Center vibes as if it were yesterday, which is why they will create a documentary about the loaded 1987-1988 Arizona team.

“We were just kids when that team was playing, but we remember how crazy it was to see an actual fan base for Arizona, basketball-wise,” said Sean Malone. “For that period of time, people were crazy about the Wildcats, and there was so much energy pumped into Tucson all because of that Arizona team.”

Currently, Arizona’s dominance in college basketball is mostly talked about, but it took Sean Miller more than a year to reinstate the Wildcats into national prominence. Then-Arizona head coach Lute Olson came into Tucson in 1983, but just like Miller, it took a few seasons to finally grease the wheels. Like the current team in the past two seasons, the ’87-’88 team went undefeated at home. Olson, however, has one accomplishment that Miller has yet to achieve, and that’s leading Arizona to a 31-2 record and Final Four run.

Arizona had a roster consisting of players such

as current Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, NBA color commentator Sean Elliot, Tom Tolbert, Jud Buechler and Matt Muehlebach.

Current guard Trey Mason’s father, Harvey Mason, was on the ’87-’88 squad as well as 2013 baseball Hall of Fame candidate Kenny Lofton.

Nobody knew at the time that this cast would go on to achieve big accomplishments. To Sean Malone, this cast would be one of the deepest basketball teams at the time.

“I remember reading somewhere at the time that the second-best team in the Pac-10 was Arizona’s bench. That team was made for success, and seeing those guys play was an unbelievable experience, and that’s why my brother and I are making this film,” said Sean Malone. “Our angle on this documentary is to capture the moments of what brought the basketball culture to a town like Tucson.”

The Malones have support from both Kerr and Elliott, who will be featured in the documentary.

The duo would be considered pioneers of Arizona basketball, especially after their success in the NBA—with Kerr winning five championships as a player with the Chicago Bulls, playing alongside Michael Jordan and the San Antonio Spurs, and winning a championship as a coach in June with the Golden State Warriors.

Elliott will be one of the most interesting features, considering he is from the Old Pueblo and played at Cholla High School.

“Sean and Steve were very cooperative with the making of our film, and they will be our two primary players,” said Sean Malone. “We also will

feature Lute Olson, and him willing to work with us was great.”

The film is still in the fundraising stage, so it’s unclear when it will be available.

“We are still trying to get through the kickstarter phase, but once we are through all of it,

this film will really show how Arizona basketball became the centerpiece of sports at the UA,” said Sean Malone.

UA alumni play hungry in NBA Summer League

Arizona Summer Wildcat

From Rondae Hollis-Jefferson dropping 24 points for the Brooklyn Nets to T.J. McConnell dunking with the help of his teammates, this NBA Summer League has been very eventful for Wildcat alumni.

Hollis-Jefferson started off so-so in his debut for the Brooklyn Nets as he racked up nine points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes of action, but he has come in strong in his last couple games.

Against the Charlotte Hornets, he stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and four steals, and on Saturday he added 15 points and nine rebounds in a one-point win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although HollisJefferson has excelled so far, the same cannot be said for the Nets as they have gone 0-5 in Orlando, Fla., with Cleveland being their lone win.

Detroit Pistons draft pick and 2015 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, Stanley Johnson has performed admirably so far in the Orlando Summer League with a stat line of 16 points, seven rebounds and two assists per game while earning alltournament honors. He has even shown an improved shooting stroke, shooting 57 percent from the field and over 41 percent from the three.

While Johnson is trying to revive a franchise stuck in the mud, Brandon Ashley is attempting to make a roster on a team that won 60 games last season. The forward scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds in 21 minutes in his debut.

Through two games he’s contributed nine points and four rebounds each game for the team with the second most wins in the NBA last year behind NBA champions, the Golden State Warriors.

McConnell has been OK so far as he has appeared in four games for the Philadelphia 76ers D-League team including Saturday when he contributed

zero points, two assists, two rebounds and two turnovers in 14 minutes. While McConnell is rebounding at a relatively high clip for a point guard at almost five a game, his shooting has plummeted while his turnovers have risen so far.

Through July 11, the floor general with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3:1 is currently at 1:1 while shooting 34 percent from the field.

Not to be outdone by the rookie Wildcats, Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon has returned from injury to put on a show in the Summer League. The 2014 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year is averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds a game while shooting 50 percent from the field and, interestingly, almost as well from three-point range (50 percent) as from the free-throw line (52 percent.)

On a side note, it was also a good day for the 2009 Arizona Wildcats as Chase Budinger was traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Indiana Pacers, where he will team up with Jordan Hill

to try and bring the Pacers back into the playoffs.

With the defending champions being coached by Steve Kerr and many Wildcats thriving so far in the league, “A

Players Program” is backing up its claim so far.
