Scott Langlais is a doctoral student in the department of East Asian Studies, who’s been teaching martial arts classes at the UA since 2010. His said his aim has been to provide students and the community with

the opportunity to receive the benefits the dojo environment provides.

Langlais said his lifelong dream was to study Japanese, learn karate and go to Japan.

In sixth grade, he began to discipline himself in Shotokan karate, a style of martial arts, under the dojo-and-

sensei interaction and environment. Throughout high school and college, he focused on self-study in the Japanese language; he double-majored in Japanese and linguistics, received an ESL/EFL teaching certificate and moved to Japan in December 1999.

Having lived and

worked in Japan for six years, Scott experienced firsthand the benefit of experiencing Japanese etiquette through peerto-peer interaction in the dojo. Langlais said that he strongly feels part of his mission in life is to give back and provide guidance to young students.

A former UA professor, who was recently fired with allegations that her research on marijuana was illegal, is looking to conduct her research regarding marijuana use as a treatment for PTSD elsewhere.

Dr. Sue Sisley was told over the summer that her contract with the UA was not going to be renewed, and as her time comes to an end, she said she is trying to decide where she will take her research.

“The U of A was implying they could take the research themselves and do it without me,” Sisley said. “They realized they can’t do that. It’s my research; it’s owned by me and my sponsor. My sponsor and myself will be taking the study to a more welcoming environment where we can conduct the research without

AFTER DR. SUE SISLEY was informed that her contract with the UA would not be renewed, she has been looking at other institutions to continue her research on marijuana. Sisley had been researching the effects of marijuana on treating PTSD.

The top floor of Highland Avenue Parking Garage is purported to be able to have the capacity to catch 28,000 gallons of water at one time, and now some students are trying to make use of that extra water.

Students For Sustainability has received a $26,000 grant for a project to build a cistern on top of Highland Garage from the Green Fund, which comes out of students’ tuition.

Julia Rudnick, the program coordinator at the Office of Sustainability, said that UA’s campus uses both active and passive rainwater harvesting methods.

“Active systems are where you use barrels or tanks to collect rainwater runoff,” Rudnick said, “and passive systems are those that you make where you slow the water down so it drains into the ground [to dig] trenches — holes — slowing the water down, basically.”

Maddy Bynes, the committee chair of SFS at the time they were writing the grant, said that the goal of the Highland Avenue Parking Garage project is to put a cistern on it for active harvesting.

“Cisterns are a way we can divert rainfall,”

Alumni and community members are encouraged by the UA to give back and help the university through donations, and one family in particular has made a noticeable impact.

The Brown family, through the Thomas R. Brown Foundations, has contributed more than $26 million to the UA throughout the years. The foundation is named for Thomas R. Brown, a graduate of MIT and Harvard University, who founded the Burr-Brown Corporation, a local technology company.

Meet UA Young Democrats pres.

BY Christianna Silva The Daily Wildcat

Politics, elections and social justice: meet Nick Mahon, the president of UA Young Democrats.

Mahon said he has always been interested in politics and policy, but specifically in activism and social justice issues. He found the Young Democrats club to be a great outlet for his interest, and he became a member at the first meeting during his freshman year.

Since then, Mahon worked with the Young Democrats and was the director of campus affairs his sophomore year, the treasurer his junior year and is now the president.

After graduation, Mahon said he plans to continue his involvement with the Young Democrats. He said that he is proud of the new crop of younger students, is excited for them to take over the club and plans to help the transition as best he can. That in mind, he added

Harvesting from page 1

Bynes said. “Cisterns store it for later use.”

At least some of that water will go toward UA’s community garden located near Highland Garage, she said.

Bynes added that SFS chose Highland Avenue Parking Garage as the site of the project because its location and size lends itself well to water harvesting.

“Highland [Avenue Parking] Garage is basically a great place to catch rainwater off of,” she said.

“It is a nice large area of campus that is basically uncovered.”

Bynes also said SFS received the $26,000 grant entirely from the Green Fund in order to pay for the cistern.

that he does plan to work in politics after graduation. He said he isn’t sure in what capacity he will be working, since the political field doesn’t always have a clear trajectory due to jobs being based on who is voted into office.

Young Democrats hosts a “State of the Union Watch Party” each year.

Members order pizza, watch the State of the Union and the Republican rebuttal, and discuss it on their own. Mahon said that it’s one of his favorite activities with the club.

Mahon said he wants to emphasize to Young Democrats club members that no matter who they vote for, they just need to vote.

“Students have to make an appearance at the polls,” Mahon said.

He also made the point that if students ignore their government, the government may start to ignore them. He added that if students want to fix issues that are important to them, like student loan debt and minimum

Rudnick added that the Green Fund only funded one tank, but there was a possibility that it could fund more in the future if all goes well on this project.

As for where the Green Fund gets the money for projects such as these, Rudnick said it does come out of students’ tuition from a “carveout.”

“It is like a fee, but you won’t see it on your bursar’s bill,” she said.

The carveout is $24 per year for students or $12 per semester, Rudnick said.

Chet Phillips, ASUA sustainability program coordinator, said UA students should care about our water use because of our desert environment.

Rudnick said students living in a desert environment need to think about where water is going

wage, they have to fix them at the polls.

Mahon said each vote does make a difference because of the sheer numbers university students comprise.

Mahon is working on legislative races in District 10, while the Young Democrats club is getting involved in all the races in Arizona — from reelecting Ron Barber for Congress, to ensuring that Fred DuVal succeeds in his election for governor.

Mahon said he hopes that, with all of his hard work and diligence toward helping Democratic leaders get into office, education and student funding prevail. He also said that he hopes DuVal wins, because he has made it a key platform to veto any budget that will take money from students and education.

to come from in the future.

“Normally we’re dry, dry, dry, right?” Rudnick said. “So it just makes sense.”

Bynes added that water harvesting is important because it makes use of an otherwise wasted resource.

“Water harvesting in general is important because … we’re in a desert, so we don’t have a lot of water to use,” Bynes said. “But water harvesting takes a resource that we wouldn’t be able to use, and we can use that.”

Nathan Walworth, an environmental sciences senior, said he believed that diverting some money towards sustainability is the right thing to do.

“Ethically … I feel we should reuse what we have, especially with what we do in Tucson,”

Walworth said.

“I don’t understand how anybody would really mind unless they had problems with where [the money] was being used elsewhere on campus.”

For those students who disagree with the project, Bynes said it isn’t about being “politically [or] environmentally friendly.”

Rather, it’s about longevity.

Bynes said SFS is not being wasteful with the Green Fund’s money — it’s being smart about it.

“It’s not really a waste of money,” she said, “because we’re using water in more intelligent ways than we were before.” savannah douglas/The Daily Wildcat

Mexican authorities stricter about migrants McClatchy-tribune

SAN RAMON, Mexico — Around midnight, armed with flashlights, Mexican immigration agents halted “La Bestia” — the Beast.

“Come down!” “Come over here!” they shouted at the migrants clinging to the top and sides of the freight train.

Some migrants scrambled, hoping to escape. Most just gave up in the darkness. The agents wrapped their arms around the migrants’ necks and marched them to a waiting patrol wagon. About 20 were taken into custody.

Raids like this, frequent and efficient, are a new phenomenon in Mexico. For a generation, Mexican authorities took a laissez-faire, if not quite benevolent, approach to the tens of thousands of Central Americans who cross the nation in hopes of reaching the U.S. Under U.S. pressure, Mexico, for the first time in many years, has launched a wide crackdown on migrants. More than 60,000 people have been deported this year, the government said.

The result is that the number of migrants heading north has dropped significantly, and those who do make the perilous journey do so clandestinely — unlike before. Many walk hundreds of miles, hide in the forests and cower in the few shelters that will give them protection. The freight trains known as La Bestia, which just six weeks ago were covered with migrants clinging to them, now often travel with virtually none.

“We are being hunted down,”

Mexican Federal Police and immigration officers apprehend Central American migrants who were attempting to move northward on La Bestia, a freight train that runs north from the Guatemalan border. The infamous train was once overflowing with migrants making their way north, but a crackdown by Mexican officials has nearly ended the practice.

said Yovan Estrada, 41, a taxi driver from Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, who was trying to hop a train in Arriaga, Mexico, but was afraid to do so. He and his wife, Mercy Maya, 23, had been sleeping in the woods, drenched by the frequent rain.

In San Ramon, just north of Arriaga, a clearing in the woods helps immigration agents carry out raids.

With their patrol cars’ sirens blaring and lights flashing, they’re able to stop the rambling train, which flashes its beacons in acknowledgment.

The raids are part of a new strategy by the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto, which, bowing to U.S. demands, has pledged to reduce the flow of Central American migrants through Mexico. Those demands intensified during the

recent surge in unaccompanied minors arriving at the U.S. border, a flow that has abated somewhat, in part because of Mexico’s effort.

Through the so-called Merida program, the United States has given Mexico millions of dollars to help fortify its southern border with Guatemala. Mexico did little about it until recently.

But many in Mexico are critical of the policy, accusing the government of, as one commentator put it, doing the United States’ dirty work.

One town in Oaxaca, just over the state border with Chiapas, is refusing to go along. In Chahuites, authorities will not detain migrants. Whether it is from altruism or because people in Oaxaca often tend to march to their own drummer isn’t clear.

Rain water from Monday’s rainfall filled the UA Community Garden, located at the north end of the Highland Avenue Parking Garage. Students for Sustainability recently received a $26,000 grant to build a water cistern atop Highland Avenue Parking Garage, which can capture up to 28,000 gallons of water at one time.

the suppression we experienced at the University of Arizona.”

Sisley said some of this suppression included the university’s claim that her study was illegal, and that it proceeded to force her to get a bill passed so she could conduct her research on campus.

“They’ve done everything they can to impede this study at every turn,” she said. “We are so heartened because of the firing becoming a national news story.

It has caused a tremendous amount of sympathy from courageous and very prestigious universities all over the country.”

According to Sisley, many universities have extended invitations for her and her study to be performed at their institutions.

Sisley said she and her sponsor will announce where they decide to take their research by the end of the year. She also said they are looking into institutions in Arizona who have extended offers.

“We are trying to find the best home long term, and we are really trying to find a sanctuary for this research,” Sisley added.

Ricardo Pereyda, a UA alumnus and a veteran, is behind the change.org petition for Sisley’s reinstatement at the UA, which had over 100,000 signatures as of Tuesday morning.

“It’s not looking so good for its chances of remaining in Arizona,” Pereyda said. “I would have liked to see it conducted at University of Arizona, where it should have been conducted. It is disappointing to me as a veteran and an alumni of the school and as someone who knows the research the university is capable of.”

Pereyda said that although the UA is preferential, he just wants the study to be conducted.

However, Pereyda also said

THE DAILY WILDCAT

that the UA is claiming it wants to conduct this research with its own principal investigator.

“I want to encourage [the] UA to put their money where their mouth is and to see what kind of research they can come up with,” he said.

“I want them to go through the same process that Sisley and [her sponsor] MAPS had to go through.

The more research on this we have, the better. The bottom line is [that] there is nothing stopping them from doing it. There is the very real possibility for them to do the right thing and do their own research and show just how vet-friendly they are.”

Chris Sigurdson, senior associate vice president of University Relations at the UA, said the university was committed to continuing the research. According to Sigurdson, the university contacted the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies and offered to host the project in Tucson, but MAPS declined.

“The UA has been open throughout about our desire to continue the research with MAPS, but it is not possible without them,” Sigurdson said.

Sisley said she believes that although she would like to find a home in Arizona for her research, it won’t be possible because the UA administration has convinced other Arizona university administrations that her research is not acceptable.

Sisley added she also believes that the politics behind this controversy will not permit her to find a permanent home within the state.

“You would think, doing marijuana research, the only obstacles are federal obstacles, but that’s not true,” she said. “The obstacles at the local level are immense and many people believe that this research simply can not be done in Arizona.”

U.S. has no room to talk

BY ALEX DEVOID

The Daily Wildcat

A

ll across the U.S. media’s political spectrum, it’s agreed that Putin is an angry, shirtless, horseback-riding Russian with no basis for his actions, save for a pitiful Cold War vendetta. Putin has long denied sending troops into Ukraine’s months-long conflict. Now the media says he’s a liar. NATO has satellite photos of Russian troops in Ukraine.

But the U.S. needs to stop acting like it has the moral high ground.

Putin lied. So what? Has the U.S. never lied about entering into armed conflict? I don’t recall ever finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but I do think the Cubans remember the Bay of Pigs.

The CIA secretly invaded Cuba because the thought of having a government sympathetic to the Soviet Union so close to home was intolerable. If you understand the U.S. government’s logic behind the Bay of Pigs, you can understand Russia’s attempts to destabilize Ukraine.

Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has expanded eastward, pushing the edges of Russian borders. In The New York Times, John J. Mearsheimer points out that Putin sees a Ukrainian government tied to the European Union as a precursor to NATO membership.

Mearsheimer writes “Russia drew a line in the sand,” after NATO’s 2008 statement that Georgia and Ukraine “‘will become members of NATO.’” To demonstrate Russia’s perspective, he compares Ukrainian and Georgian NATO memberships to U.S. neighbors Canada and Mexico joining a military alliance with China.

Both the U.S. and Russia have spheres of influence that they will go to great lengths to maintain. Russia has deep historical ties to Ukraine.

Professor John P. Willerton, a Russian expert at the UA, explained that “for [Russia], Ukraine is the font of [its] civilization.”

The two nations also have significant economic ties. On their way to Europe, 63 percent of Russian gas exports pass through Ukraine.

Russia has a lot to lose, and Putin is concerned about the geopolitical implications.

Geopolitical strategy is no new concept to the U.S. The U.S. has marked the western hemisphere as its sphere of influence since the 1823 Monroe Doctrine. Latin American countries know its impact well.

Russia may have annexed Crimea, but the U.S. military has occupied or intervened in Latin American countries many times. In the 1980s, the United States’ role in Nicaragua was the opposite of the current situation in Ukraine: We backed the rebels while the Soviet Union backed the Nicaraguan government.

Now, it is Ukraine’s turn to be at the center of a power struggle between Russia and the West.

During the recent change in Ukraine’s government, the West witnessed a revolution while Russia witnessed a coup. On one hand, there was a popular uprising. On the other hand, Willerton points out that all six of Ukraine’s constitutional steps for impeachment were ignored.

“Was it a revolution or a coup? … Both went on,” Willerton said. If it were a coup, it would not be the first time that the U.S. recognized and supported the overthrow of a democratically elected government.

Look at the 1973 Chilean coup as an example.

The U.S. has no higher moral authority than Russia. They are both super powers with geopolitical interests.

Instead of solely badgering Putin, Willerton lamented such a violent situation for his friends in Ukraine.

The U.S. media should do the same.

and its widely publicized aftermath speaks to the continued objectification of women’s bodies in American popular culture, as well as the problematic charge too many individuals find in violating women’s consent,” Gronewold said. “The male gaze is as powerful as ever, as is the entitled belief that the bodies of women, especially public figures like female celebrities, are the property of the public, not the individual woman.”

So what’s the solution? Though the problem lies in American rape culture as a whole, there are some concrete adjustments we can make starting today. We must stop referring to violations of privacy as scandals.

The celebrities whose photographs were stolen should not issue apologies and should not be forced to confirm or deny the authenticity of the photographs. If a situation like this arises again, even one of smaller magnitude, the media must resist the temptation to buy into the double standard of treating female nude photos differently than male nude photos.

All of us should be able to take provocative, erotic photography of ourselves in the privacy of our own home without the fear of being scandalized.

We must quit apologizing for consensual sexuality. We must condemn acts that violate consent.

Hut, hut! Heave?

On Aug. 30, an 18-year-old male student was admitted into the intensive care unit at the University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication.

UA police officers responded to Colonia de La Paz Residence Hall at 12:40 a.m. where a student was unresponsive on the sidewalk. He was on his side and had recently vomited. Another individual from the residence hall held the student’s head steady to prevent him from rolling into his own vomit.

An individual approached the police officer and identified himself as the unresponsive student’s roommate and that the student in question had taken part in “pre-gaming” drinking; the student took shots of Jack Daniel’s whiskey prior to the football game that evening. The individual said the male student was responsive during the game and didn’t have any issues.

While returning to their room after the game, the student continued to drink whiskey. His roommate continued to tell police that the student wanted to go for a walk. When he began stumbling, the roommate attempted to take him back to their room where he began vomiting.

A residence assistant from Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall saw what was occurring and called the Tucson Fire Department.

The student was issued a student diversion for underage drinking, and his roommate said he would inform the student upon his release from UAMC.

On Aug. 26, a UAPD officer responded to a report of shoplifting from the UA Bookstore.

Upon arrival, the officer met with the loss prevention staff who directed the officer to the individual they apprehended. The officer read the individual his Miranda rights, and the individual agreed to answer the officer’s questions.

The individual told the officer he had stolen some books. The individual said he placed three books into his backpack, paid for several others and proceeded to leave the store, claiming that he couldn’t afford to pay for all the books he needed for school.

The loss prevention staff said the incident was caught on camera, and the individual was advised not to return to the bookstore or he could be arrested for trespassing.

Schwasted in the stadium

On Aug. 26, a UAPD officer, who was doing a security check at Park Avenue Parking Garage, noticed a male student in the southwestern stairwell.

The male was leaning his head against the handrail and appeared to be sleeping. When the patrol vehicle neared the man, he rose his head and quickly walked up the ramp. The officer noted that his pants were torn at the crotch.

The officer asked the individual if he was OK, and the student said that he was just drunk and was having a hard time finding his way out of the stadium. His speech was slurred, his breath smelled of intoxicants and he was unsteady on his feet.

The officer asked for the individual’s identification and discovered he was 19 years old. The individual was unable to identify who gave him the alcohol. He was transported to his residence hall where his resident assistant met with the officer and the individual, and they escorted him to his room.

The individual was informed he would be diverted to the Dean of Students Office and a referral form was completed.

ver the last few seasons, Arizona football has struggled to find success in their special teams players, especially the place kicker. Year after year, Arizona fans have watched important field goals missed.

Nonetheless, the Wildcats haven’t necessarily been known for their consistent kicking since 2006 when now-NFL player Nick Folk handled the kicking duties — that is, until redshirt junior Casey Skowron and his interesting background showed up in the picture.

“When he’s focused and keeps his head down, he’s pretty spot on,” Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “You don’t really know how a guy is going to do until he does it under the lights, and under the lights, he’s been good.”

This week, Skowron won two national awards for his performance over the last two games. He was named one of the three Lou Groza Award Stars of the Week and the National Specialist of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards.

After missing his first field goal attempt against UNLV, Skowron has since hit seven consecutive field goals. That streak hasn’t been reached since 2008 by former UA place kicker Jason Bondzio.

If Skowron and the rest of the special teams players success continues, the Wildcats will continue to win football games.

W

hile composing an article over the summer on the UA’s athletic facilities for the Daily Wildcat’s annual Campus Guide issue, I wondered what I should call Arizona Stadium on second reference.

The old stadium, which dates back to 1928, was often called the “Old Gray Lady” by Wildcat fans. I debated whether to put that, since the stadium doesn’t

feel so old anymore. It didn’t seem to fit.

Ultimately, I settled on “once affectionately known as the ‘Old Gray Lady,’” but the newish feeling still remains. I grew up going to UA games, and, according to my mom, I was going to games before I was born.

Last year, the $72.3 million addition to Arizona Stadium, the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, opened. While most of Arizona Stadium looks like it was built early in the 20th century, the facility looked just like an NFL facility.

A few years ago, I toured the Denver Broncos’ stadium, what is now called Sports Authority

Field at Mile High, and the Lowell-Stevens is right on par with it.

If you sit in the northern seats or go inside Lowell-Stevens, Arizona Stadium feels like a brand new venue. The recently added southern end zone scoreboard has that NFL feel to it, without all that baggage and guilt.

Lowell-Stevens was the jewel of the athletic department.

Then, last week, I got to see the new McKale Center in one of its first public events since it underwent most of the $80 million renovation.

Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller had proclaimed that McKale Center

will feel like a new arena, but I was skeptical. McKale Center has seen some upgrades over the years, but still felt like it was built in the ’70s, just with a somewhat fresh coat of paint.

However, the changes in the last few months absolutely do make McKale Center feel like a new arena on the inside.

(Outside, it still looks not so hot, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts, right?)

The new scoreboard is definitely NBA-caliber. Even though we usually sat courtside last season, I often preferred to watch the video board over the guys in front of me.

To start, or not to start RHJ

BY EVAN ROSENFELD The Daily Wildcat

I

t’s already clear who Arizona’s starting five is going to be come basketball season.

The Wildcats backcourt is likely to consist of senior point guard T.J. McConnell and highly touted freshman Stanley Johnson. McConnell will resume his standing as the team’s ringleader, while Johnson — who has been dubbed as one of the most, if not the most, NBA-ready prospect of his class — will be looked at to fill some of the gap left by the departure of Nick Johnson and Aaron Gordon to the NBA. Sophomore forward Rondae HollisJefferson, junior forward Brandon Ashley and junior center Kaleb Tarczewski round out what many sources, including CBSSports.com, are calling the “best starting 5 in college basketball.”

Last season, Hollis-Jefferson was head coach Sean Miller’s first choice to replace Ashley after the big man went down with a broken foot in the beginning of February.

However, the absence of an explosive player on the second squad compounded

by Hollis-Jefferson’s inconsistent jump shot forced Miller and the team to toy with the idea of implementing a threeguard lineup, which was finally enacted after Arizona’s 69-66 loss to ASU two weeks later.

The Wildcats continued to start a three-guard lineup, consisting of McConnell, Nick Johnson, Gabe York, Gordon and Tarczewski, throughout their tournament run and ended up a shot away from a Final Four berth.

Hollis-Jefferson shined as the sixth man off the bench, while York saw success serving as a 3-point specialist and finished the season ranked 12th in the conference in 3-point field goals per game (1.5) and 14th in 3-point percentage (.385).

This year, York is expected to come off the bench while Hollis-Jefferson is projected to start at the three. If York is able to prove himself as a more consistent long-range shooter, it may be wise to tweak the lineup a bit.

If Miller decides to start a threeguard lineup comprised of McConnell, Johnson, York, Ashley and Tarczewski with Hollis-Jefferson acting as the sixth man off the bench, the squad will be quicker and have a better ability to hit the

3-point shot.

One thing the Wildcats were missing last year, and a major concern going into this year,is the lack of consistent 3-point shooting threat. A starting lineup that includes York makes the Wildcats more dangerous to teams who rely on a zone defense.

Additionally, having York in the starting lineup would create more depth and give the Wildcats the ability to stay fresh with their big men deeper into games. Having Hollis-Jefferson readily available as a sixth man, creates a sense of intensity and raw hustle that both starters and non-starters benefit and thrive from.

Not to mention, Hollis-Jefferson’s stats actually dropped when he was starting last year compared to how he did coming off the bench.

While Hollis-Jefferson is versatile and provides elite defense and versatility, similarly to last year, the team may find him to be a more valuable asset coming off the bench and providing the squad with that extra burst of energy and pizzazz when it most needs it.

HOT ‘N’ NOT Washington State football dropped to 0-2 and has lost four in a row. ESPN’s Pac-12 Blog’s “What we learned in the Pac-12: Week 2” simply said, “Dude.” under WSU. Arizona men’s cross country opened the season with a third place finish at the George Kyte Classic. The Wildcats lost to NAU and ASU. The Pac-12 fined USC athletic director Pat Haden $25,000 for running out of the press box and confronting officials during the Trojans’ win over Stanford. Haden is a member of the playoff selection committee, and it’s the third embarrassing incident at USC this season.

Last Saturday, Big Ten football endured an embarrassing day as Michigan State, Ohio State and Michigan all lost on the same day for the first time since Sept. 17, 1988. Meanwhile, Nebraska almost lost at home to McNeese State of the FCS.

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez improved his record against non-Pac-12 Conference teams while at the UA to 10-0 with the 26-23 win at UTSA. As Arizona’s skipper, Rodriguez is 2-0 against the Roadrunners and 1-0 against Nevada, this week’s foe.

No. 23 Arizona volleyball has started the season 6-0. It’s the UA’s best start since 2009, when the Wildcats began the season 12-0.

Arizona soccer tied No. 6 Texas A&M 2-2 and is 3-1-1 to start the season. The Pac-12 named freshman midfielder Gabi Stoian its Offensive Player of the Week.

Arizona women’s cross country senior Kristina Aubert won her first race as a Wildcat at the George Kyte Classic in Flagstaff, Ariz. The transfer from Arkansas State finished about 30 seconds faster than the runner-up.

The lighting is also better and much more crisp.

I didn’t see any of the locker rooms, but the photos the UA’s various Twitter accounts have tweeted make it look like they are as good as the magnificent football locker room.

The big change is the seats, which are so cushioned, you feel like you’re sitting on a giant marshmallow with a red “A”

sewn on.

Even the ZonaZoo seats, which are not cushioned for obvious reasons, are more comfortable than the old seats. Miller may start to fear that UA students will be compelled to sit more, like the veteran Arizona fans.

Truly, in the last couple of years, the transformation of Arizona’s athletic facilities has been astounding.

A GIANT LEAP FOR FLANDRAU Digital projection system and 'Desert Moon' documentary making their debut under the dome this fall

By M. Scot Skinner Flandrau Planetarium has been showing us the stars since it opened on campus in 1975. But the moon looms large in a fascinating new film about the University of Arizona’s pivotal place in the 1960s space race.

“Desert Moon,” which will be shown in the planetarium’s domed theater through December, centers on the pioneering work of Gerard Kuiper, a demanding genius who established the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the UA in 1960.

The Dutch-born astronomer came to Tucson from the University of Chicago, bringing with him several of his top students and staffers. Together they published the Consolidated Lunar Atlas, a compilation of the best images of the moon’s nearside.

Kuiper and his team were instrumental in the effort to put a man on the moon. They identified landing sites for NASA and talked with astronauts about what conditions to expect on the lunar surface.

Directed by UA journalism grad Jason Davis, “Desert Moon” zeroes in on the Ranger missions that laid the groundwork for the Apollo program.

Kuiper was principal investigator for the Ranger missions, the first six of which failed. But everything worked perfectly for Ranger 7, which sent back more than 4,000 photos of the lunar surface. Ranger took the pictures, a thousand times better than those taken from the Earth, during its last 17 minutes. It crash-landed, as intended, on July 31, 1964.

That moment 50 years ago was a turning point in the American effort to land a man on the moon. Ranger 7, in fact, was the space program’s first unequivocal success after 13 consecutive failures.

The narrator of “Desert Moon” is Capt. Mark Kelly, an astronaut who served on four Space Shuttle missions, the last two as commander.

Kelly and his wife, former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, saw “Desert Moon” at its Flandrau premiere over the summer, said Bill Plant, Flandrau’s director of exhibits.

“Capt. Kelly, who was seeing it for the first time, said afterward that he was really impressed with how it came out,” he said.

The 35-minute “Desert Moon” film is not a fulldome experience, Plant says. “But our planetarium operators will be able to fly the audience on their own trip to the moon after the film using a brand new digital projection system.” More impressive, visually speaking, will be shows designed to take advantage of Flandrau’s new state-of-the-art digital system.

Installed over the summer, it’s a major upgrade from the decades-old Minolta star-projection system.

The old system was an analog relic.

But the new system will immerse the audience in high-resolution fulldome imagery and fly them through the cosmos.

“Starting Sept. 5, we’ll be able to explore in greater detail all kinds of cool science from dinosaurs to hurricanes,” Plant says.

“With this system, we can bring up the current night sky, for example, and if Mars is up there, the visitor will be able to fly to Mars, visit its moons and then zoom down to the surface and see where the Curiosity rover is conducting its investigation of the Martian climate and geology.”

The upgraded system uses two projectors powered by advanced computers and software to stitch together crisp imagery that covers the entire planetarium dome.

“We can’t wait to show visitors what it can do,” Plant said. “I think audiences are going to be amazed by the experience. It will excite the imagination with 360-degree dynamic visualizations of science, from the inner workings of a human cell to the vast reaches of the universe and everywhere in between.”

The upgrade is the first phase for Flandrau, which is raising money for phase two: More comfortable seating, installed in a more effective configuration and some other architectural improvements. When that’s done, the planetarium’s transformation into a cutting-edge science-exploration theater will be complete, Plant said.

And it’s going to sound better than ever as well, he added. “That’s thanks to a new 5.1 audio system that will make our planetarium and laser music shows even more amazing.”

The trippy extravaganzas returned to Flandrau in 2010 after a 10-year absence. The planetarium’s library of about 20 laser shows includes one that’s inspired by the moon. The dark side of it anyway.

DID YOU KNOW? Gerard Kuiper, often called the father of planetary science, is the founder of the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. the Kuiper Belt, a ring of icy objects beyond Neptune’s orbit that includes Pluto, was named in his honor. New Horizons, the first mission to the region, will reach Pluto next year.

KEEP THE BEAT

BY PARISA ESHRATI KAMP Student Radio

Although Arizona may seem to die down in the summer since everyone is traveling to escape the heat, these past few months were full of stellar shows from a variety of genres. I was fortunate enough to do press for several events both here and in Phoenix, and I can definitely say these shows gave life to the desert in the harsh summer months.

Kikagaku Moyo and The Myrrors at The Flycatcher: Kikagaku Moyo graced us with their presence on their way back from Austin Psych Fest to give Tucson a taste of Japanese psychedelia. Their performance ranged from atmospheric soundscapes to a face-melting shred show. If you’re to follow any local band, I would recommend The Myrrors first and foremost. These guys bring that psychedelic drone sound with Native American-inspired instrumentation and melodies. Be on the lookout for their upcoming album.

Nightmares on Wax at Crescent Ballroom: Warp Records original artist and legend Nightmares on Wax came to

KAMP Radio gives a quick overview of some memorable bands that toured through Tucson and Phoenix this past summer

Phoenix for the first time this summer.

He’s not the kind of disc jockey to just hit play and hide behind his laptop.

Rather, he mixes everything live and is complemented by his two MCs and live drummer. He’s played everything from hip hop-influenced releases, acid house jams and, of course, some high-energy tracks off his latest album, N.O.W. Is The Time — my favorite of 2014 so far.

RX Bandits and The Dear Hunter at Crescent Ballroom: They’re back!

Many of us were devastated in 2011 when RX Bandits appeared to announce they were breaking up. However, this summer rejuvenated all reggae, ska and alternative fans alike when RX Bandits rejoined and released their newest album, Gemini, Her Majesty. The show was fueled with energy from grateful fans and nothing but love and positivity from the band members themselves.

The Dear Hunter co-headlined and was a perfect fit for the show. Its wide range of genres were on full display throughout its set, giving each audience member something to be intrigued with while keeping them in anticipation for the next track.

US Fries turns potato staple from side dish to main meal

BY IAN MARTELLA The Daily Wildcat

French fries have never been thought of as a meal without the burger, but a new franchise on Fourth Avenue is breaking the rules with how we think of the starchy sidekick.

US Fries makes its debut this Friday with its unique poutine menu — a French-Canadian late-night delicacy that consists of fries traditionally topped with cheese curds and gravy .

However, US Fries’ menu is anything but traditional.

With items such as Bacon Cheeseburger Fries, Nacho Grande Fries and Philly Cheesesteak Fries, the range of options caters to nearly every fries niche imaginable.

“We try to match local cuisines in every specific region,” said owner Thomas Jones, who recently moved from Alberta, Canada, to start his fast food franchise.

“We’re looking at the demographic with college kids and bars.”

Jones detailed his selection process that lead him to Tucson. He mentioned the recent success of The Big Cheese Poutinerie in Chicago, along with many other poutine restaurants booming in San Francisco, Boston and the Twin Cities.

With Tucson’s relatively IAN MARTELLA/THE DAILY WILDCAT affordable commercial CONSTRUCTION MAKES THEIR finishing touches to US Fries’ amenities before its grand opening this Friday, Sept. 12th.

culture. So, he established a karate program in the department of East Asian Studies in an effort to give back and help benefit these students.

“Anyone who takes my class will not walk out the same person,” Langlais added.

According to Langlais, his classes allow students to practice leadership skills by having them teach groups of other students.

Langlais said this helps a student to develop the physical, mental, social and psychological benefits of practicing martial arts.

“There is a sense of camaraderie and trust in what we do,” Langlais said. “We’re all in it together. To grow together as a team. There are no expectations when it comes to skill. The only expectations I have are for you to train hard and honestly. I’m strict, but I’m fair.”

Langlais’ classes are primarily for Japanese language students, but anyone can join. Langlais said that he would not have been able to accomplish what he has merely by being motivated. According to Langlais, it was thanks in part to the peers and educators that saw the passion and ability he possessed and who guided him in the right direction.

“I want to make it clear that I don’t do it for the money,” Langlais said. “I do it because I love it and because I know that someone would have done that for me.”

Langlais has continued to give his heart, passion and time to the entire Tucson community. He said he wouldn’t trade it for the world.

On Saturday, Langlais and his students will be at The Shyann Kindness Project’s 5th Annual “Tri” for Acts of Kindness Sprint Triathlon/Duathlon and 5K Run/ Walk. All entry fees go toward the Shyann Kindness Project, which is a Tucson-based nonprofit charity that serves “underprivileged, at-risk, and medically fragile children” in Southern Arizona, according to its website.

On Nov. 1, Langlais’ group will be at the 50th Annual Western States Karate Championships charity tournament, which, according to its website, supports the community by promoting “a cultural exchange between Japan and the [U.S.]” This year’s charity tournament will support the 100 Club of Arizona, whose mission, stated on its website, is to provide immediate “financial assistance to families of public safety officers and firefighters” who are fallen or “seriously injured in the lineof-duty.” According to Langlais, these events are both open to the public.
