LOCAL WINERY SOMETHING NEW FOR STUDENTS

TUCSON POLICE Department officers put up a barricade on University Boulevard during UA students’ clash with TPD on March 29 after the Arizona men’s basketball team lost to Wisconsin in the NCAA Elight Eight. The TPD was in full riot gear in anticipation of the melee that broke out.

The case that opened as a result of the phone-recorded video that went viral, capturing a UA student being knocked down by a TPD officer during an unlawful assembly, isn’t closed. After the UA men’s basketball team’s loss in the Elite Eight game against the Wisconsin Badgers, fans flooded to University Boulevard and began an unlawful assembly, prompting the Tucson Police Department to take action.

Not everyone on the scene participated in the confrontation,

including Christina Gardilcic, a UA alumna, who was knocked down by Sgt. Joel Mann, a TPD officer. She is now making a case against TPD. There have been investigations the past couple of months, and now Gardilcic is filing a Notice of Claim. It is required by law to file a Notice of Claim before a lawsuit can take place.

“After watching the game at Frog & Firkin, my friend and I had walked to Chipotle to get some food to go,” Gardilcic said. “We were in there for about 20 minutes

Startup Tucson hosted an informational session on Tuesday evening to inform students about the goal of its event and to increase its outreach on campus.

Startup Tucson, an organization that creates a three-day experience for individuals who want to pursue entrepreneurship, is headed by chairman and CEO Justin Williams.

The weekend-long event has both short-term and long-term goals. Short-term in seeing how far a business concept can go and whether or not it is even feasible; and long-term in regards to how Startup Tucson emphasizes community building among a group of people who may go onward to further pursue their original ideas.

waiting in line, which was when the crowds on the street started to get bigger. After leaving Chipotle, we crossed the street toward Grand Central with the intention of going to Tyndall [Avenue] Parking Garage where our car was parked. While walking and observing the crowds, I had looked down at my phone, and all of a sudden I was on the bench in front of Dunkin’ Donuts. I had thought maybe I bumped into something. I had no idea what was going on at first.”

Gardilcic didn’t understand what had happened until the people around her were yelling at Mann, asking him why he did that. She didn’t talk to Mann because he walked away from her after the incident, according to Gardilcic. She said she had been left with a large bruise on her left arm and some back spasms.

According to Gardilcic, Mann pushed Gardilcic because he was doing his job.

“I honestly wanted an apology at first, and I have not gotten one,” Gardilcic said. “Now I hope that TPD can come up with a better system of training or ways to handle riots and other situations.”

Former UA student Phoebe Landolt is a witness of the incident and the one who originally uploaded the video of the encounter between Gardilcic and the officer. Landolt’s friend, a current UA student who wished their name to remain anonymous, recorded it on their phone. Landolt posted the video to her personal Facebook page, and then someone else uploaded it to YouTube where it got over 85,000 views.

Landolt didn’t anticipate that the video would make national news. She was planning to show the video only to friends and family to point out police brutality.

“Somebody had taken my video and uploaded it to YouTube and then was basically starting to make money off the video,” Landolt said. “At that point, I had it taken down [because] I didn’t have her name. There was no way for me to take any of the money from the video to give to her to press charges or whatever it may have been. So, I only had hoped the best for her and then removed everything once I’ve gotten the word out about what happened and that the cop was proven, hopefully, guilty by the video.”

Other news media outlets, as well as the Daily Wildcat, have reached out to the TPD, but it has declined to comment on this case because it is still open.

Gardilcic respects the police force and its job to maintain a level of safety, but she said there has been abuse of authority with law enforcement.

What are your thoughts on the mandatory $150 health and recreation fee charged through the bursar’s account to university students each year? How often do you use the amenities provided after paying this fee?

“I think they have to do it that way. They can’t individually charge people each time they come. But, I feel like the $150 fee should just be a part of tuition; that’s what we pay thousands of dollars for. They shouldn’t charge us extra for every thing or amenity we use. Like, if they start charging us $100 for a library fee, there would be endless amounts of fees on top of tuition.”

a $1,000 sponsorship in order to compete. This sponsorship requirement did not include the costs for clothing, jewelry, hair and makeup.

“I didn’t want to take money from my parents, because I just felt guilty,” Sarahin added.

Sarahin asked local businesses in her hometown of Scottsdale to sponsor her. One of the first places she went to was Saffron Market, a small Indian boutique.

Shy Khan, the fashion director of a June fashion show Sarahin had competed in, also played a role in Sarahin’s sponsorship. Sarahin said Shy Khan was the reason Sarahin got involved with beauty pageants.

Nazila Couture, a bridal-wear business based in Canada, also sponsored Sarahin. The pageant included a bridal-wear competition.

This was Sarahin’s first time participating in a beauty pageant. Her best friend in high school participated in Miss Teen Arizona competitions and always told Sarahin she would be good at beauty pageants, because she was a debater and could answer questions on the spot. However, Sarahin had never considered herself as a pageant

“I think it’s a good way to get people to go to the Rec Center and work out.

person and said she didn’t start wearing heels until a year ago.

“I never really thought about it, but the opportunity kind of fell on my plate,” Sarahin said.

“You gain so much out of doing something that is totally out of your comfort zone.”

Sarahin said the most memorable aspect of the competition was conquering her fear, because she had moments where she didn’t think she could do it.

Another memorable experience for Sarahin was the competition’s talent portion. Sarahin said she was originally planning to perform a dance, as it’s customary to dance instead of sing in Indian pageants. But when she sang her song, everyone went crazy and loved it.

Sarahin, who considers herself a “bathroom singer,” had never performed a song for an audience. The only exception was when she sang a solo in sixth grade.

“I’ve always low-key-sang Indian music,” Sarahin added.

One of Sarahin’s challenges with the pageant was convincing her parents to let her do it and to come to the competition. Her biggest fear, she said, was disappointing her parents, especially after convincing them this competition was worth it.

and CEO of Ufree, talked about the opportunity Startup Tucson gave him.

“I went to Startup Weekend, and I didn’t know anyone. So when I went there, it gave me that opportunity to put Ufree in front of those specific people who really help and push and motivate you,” Ost said. “My investors saw me present at Startup Weekend, and that’s when they approached us. It takes you to that spot and takes you further and further.”

CEO and lead technologist of Injected Media Dominique Villela said how he was able to get his business going because of the UA. “My biggest client turned out to be the University of Arizona,”

Sarahin has kept an open mind about her future and beauty pageants.

“I’m not going to close those doors,” Sarahin said. “[It’s a] couple years of growth in three days.”

Now that she’s back in Tucson with her junior year underway, Sarahin said she is a little more stressed while balancing academics and pageant life. With being crowned Miss India America 2014 also comes the responsibility of jobs and making appearances in Los Angeles and Phoenix.

Some of the appearances include fashion shows in LA. If the event is within the same month of notification, Sarahin can choose if she wants to attend or not, but if there is advanced notification, she is required to attend those events.

Despite the added stress of this new part of her life, Sarahin said it’s worth it. She said she always thought the performing arts were a part of her life.

Now, she found a way to incorporate that into her everyday life.

“It kind of feeds a part of my soul,” Sarahin said.

Villela said. “I had to dig in deep and make sure they were people [who would] support me. Little by little, I used my network at UA and made sure I was well known.”

The event takes place from Sept. 12 to Sept. 14 and costs $85 for registration. Startup Tucson is offering students a $35 discount with a promotional code.

“Part of what we are putting together here is a community,” Williams said. “[At] Startup Tucson, our mission is to create a culture within our community of entrepreneurship and innovation.”

Legality of “rocket dockets” questioned mcclatchy-tribune

Lawyers call them “rocket dockets” — court schedules that speed deportation hearings for Central American children who crossed the U.S. border without a parent.

Some question whether the children are getting proper legal representation as immigration judges work their way through the fast-paced dockets. Leaders of the National Association of Immigration Judges said it is a mistake to move up cases of vulnerable children in an already backlogged system.

“We deal with cases that are often, in effect, death penalty cases,” said

“You are well aware these cases are moving at a very brisk pace,” the judge told them. Baird said he has orders to follow from the government.

Unlike Jordan, many children do not have lawyers. Some families can’t find a lawyer who can quickly return to court with them. Some can’t afford the thousands of dollars in attorney fees. Others turn to agencies that do pro bono work, but those lawyers struggle with the load.

Beheading video surveillanced MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

ERBIL, Iraq — A video purporting to show the killing of American journalist Steven J. Sotloff by the militant group Islamic State was posted on the Internet on Tuesday, two weeks after the beheading of another U.S. journalist.

The al-Qaida spin-off group had threatened to kill Sotloff, 31, if President Barack Obama did not end an air campaign against Islamic State targets in Iraq.

The White House, Pentagon and State Department confirmed having seen the video Tuesday but could not immediately verify its authenticity.

“The intelligence community is working as quickly as possible to determine its authenticity,” National

Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said in a statement. “If genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist, and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. We will provide more information when it is available.”

Sotloff’s family was also aware of the video, according to a spokesman, Barak Barfi.

“They are waiting for authentication and are grieving privately,” Barfi said.

The family, which lives in Pinecrest, Fla., would not comment when contacted by telephone.

In the video, a version of which was shared by the SITE Intelligence Group, a man identifying himself

as Sotloff is shown kneeling in the desert dressed in an orange shirt and trousers similar to those worn by detainees at the U.S. prison at Guantánamo.

“I’m sure you know exactly who I am by now, and why I am appearing before you,” he says. “Obama, your foreign policy of intervention in Iraq was supposed to be for the preservation of American lives and interests, so why is it that I’m paying the price of your interference with my life? Am I not an American citizen? You’ve spent billions of U.S. taxpayers’ dollars and we’ve lost thousands of our troops in our previous fighting against the Islamic State,” he continues. “So, where’s the American people’s interests in reigniting this war?”

The camera pulls back to show a black-hooded militant standing behind him, holding a knife.

“I’m back, Obama,” the militant says. “Just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.”

The militant is then shown apparently cutting the throat of the captive, whose head is later displayed seemingly lying on the body.

Sotloff, a freelance journalist captured in Syria more than a year ago, appeared at the end of another video released by the Islamic State that showed the death of journalist James Foley.

In that footage, a militant forced Sotloff to kneel, grabbed his collar and declared, “The life of this

American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision.” Sotloff’s mother, Shirley, responded with a video pleading for her son’s life.

U.S. aircraft have continued an air campaign against Islamic State militants in Iraq. On Saturday, the Pentagon confirmed it had carried out strikes on militant strongholds near the town of Amerli, helping to break a siege on the farming community made up mainly of ethnic Turkmen Shiites about 100 miles north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

The strikes near Amirli marked an expansion of the U.S. campaign in Iraq, which began on Aug. 8. As of Monday, the military said it had carried out 123 strikes, most of them around the northern Mosul dam.

LA police chief, South LA community meet MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Los Angeles Police Assistant Chief Earl Paysinger sat with increasing unease at a church in South Los Angeles as residents rose one at a time to berate his department.

The meeting had been called to reassure locals about how the LAPD and other agencies were investigating the recent fatal shooting of a mentally ill man in the neighborhood. But the event quickly boiled over into a critique of the LAPD, with residents accusing the department of racial profiling, excessive force and dishonesty.

Paysinger, the LAPD’s highestranking black officer and a 40-year department veteran, was disturbed by the level of anger. So the morning after the community meeting, he drove to the LAPD’s Newton Division, where the fatal shooting occurred, and demanded an action plan.

“Where do we go from here?”

Paysinger told the station captain.

“I’m not interested in, ‘I don’t know, we’ve done everything.’”

Whether police officers acted properly when they fatally shot

Ezell Ford Jr. in August remains under investigation. But the case has exposed lingering tensions and what some consider an erosion of the credibility and goodwill the LAPD has worked so hard for so long to build in South LA. “You think you’re in a good place,” Paysinger said. “But then you find yourself at that meeting. … It was patently clear to me that we need to get busy.”

Building trust in the AfricanAmerican community has been a top priority of the LAPD since the LA riots 22 years ago, which were sparked in part by the acquittal of four police officers caught on tape beating black motorist Rodney King. Even the LAPD’s harshest critics admit the department has made significant strides.

Those efforts also have been helped in no small part by a significant drop in crime across South LA. But John Mack, the former LA police commissioner and the retired president of the Los Angeles Urban League, said he worried that the reaction to Ford’s death showed a

backslide in the relationship.

He cited other recent incidents that he called “disturbing:” an officer recorded using a racial slur and yet allowed to remain on the force, and South Bureau officers who disabled in-car voice-recording equipment that was installed to monitor them. The recording issue came up at the Ford meeting.

“It’s leading some people to wonder: Is there a pattern? Are they moving back to old practices?” Mack said. “I feel it has become a case of five or six major, enormous steps forward … and we are now taking one or two steps backwards.”

The LAPD’s relationship with South LA is one that requires constant nurturing, Mack said. Chief Charlie Beck “developed street cred” with the community when he ran the South Bureau as deputy chief, Mack said, but needs to do more as the city’s top cop.

“That is a relationship that requires ongoing attention by the chief himself,” Mack said. “Despite all the goodwill that has been built up, all you need is one incident and things can go south in an instant.”

MCCLATCHYTRIBUNE

SOUTH LOS ANGELES residents line up at Paradise Baptist Church to ask questions of LAPD Chief Charlie Beck about the police killing of 25-year-old Ezell Ford, who was shot by officers on Aug. 11. Hundreds of people gathered at the church in South LA for a community forum on Aug. 19.

T-Swift clumsy, but not racist

BY Paul Thomson The Daily Wildcat

L

ike turkey bacon, Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence’s performance in “Silver Linings Playbook,” Taylor Swift is a polarizing character: You either love her or you loathe her. Whether it is her throwback fashion, her (in) famous relationships or her tendency to use ex-boyfriends’ names as song lyrics, Swift never leaves us hungry for controversy. With the premiere of her new “Shake It Off” music video, Taylor is once again under attack — this time for alleged cultural appropriation. I would like to defend her.

Cultural appropriation is a majority culture’s adoption of cultural elements that belong to and have originated from the minority, specifically elements for which the minority culture has been systematically oppressed. White men at Coachella wearing Native American headdresses — cultural appropriation! Miley Cyrus twerking at the MTV Music Video Awards while the black girls around her are treated as sexual props — cultural appropriation! Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” music video? Not so much.

For those who haven’t watched the video, Swift is the focal point of many different dance groups and genres, such as ballet, cheerleading and contemporary. In each one of these scenarios, Swift is “the odd man out.”

And as anyone who has seen her in concert can tell you (guilty), Swift is a very gawky dancer.

The point of controversy? A B-girl dance featuring six performers — four Black and two white. Importantly, Swift is just as bad at this twerking as she is at ballet. Rather than adopting twerking as her own — and I say that un-ironically, as twerking is a valid and respectable facet of AfricanAmerican dance culture — Swift makes it very clear that she is outside of the culture and therefore unable to successfully twerk.

Now, there are some that disagree.

Rapper Earl Sweatshirt (@earlxsweat) took to Twitter as the video premiered, writing, “haven’t watched the taylor swift video and I don’t need to watch it to tell you that it’s inherently offensive and ultimately harmful.”

Africana studies professor Bryan Carter, with whom I had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting about this video, also took issue with the hip-hop section. Carter points out that although Swift may not be appropriating the African-American dance aesthetic, she is certainly fascinated with it, and not in an attractive way.

“Swift’s video is another example of ‘negrophilia,’” Carter said, referring to white America’s obsession with black culture as an exotic Other. Carter explained that Swift’s actions are particularly problematic because of her status as a rich white woman, the exact subgroup that popularized negrophilia in 1920s Paris.

I’m not convinced. While I understand Carter’s point, “Shake It Off” is a festival of all different styles of dance and the girl who is bad at all of them.

“We simply choose styles of dance that we thought would be popular … and cast the best dancers that were presented to us without much regard to race or ethnicity,” director Mark Romanek explained. “If you look at it carefully, it’s a massively inclusive piece.”

The fact that white women are also featured in the hip-hop section, black women are prominently visible in the contemporary and cheerleading segments and that every dancer in every piece is genuinely, unashamedly good at what they do places the dances on an even playing field. Ballet, though more associated with Eurowhite culture, is treated with no more respect or reverence than twerking.

Both represent established cultures of dance.

Maybe I’m just a white boy who loves Taylor Swift, but I’m also an Africana studies major and pride myself on caring about these issues.

O

n Aug. 15, Texas Gov. Rick Perry was indicted by a grand jury for alleged abuse of power by threatening to veto funding for state prosecutors who were to investigate government corruption.

Perry had allegedly promised to veto funding for an anti-corruption campaign that was to be led by a Texas district attorney who was caught drunk driving.

Perry was supposedly bullying her into resigning from office.

And if all of this wasn’t bad enough, the district attorney in question is from none other than Travis County, Texas.

Travis County, home to the capital of Austin, is an island of liberalism in the ocean of hard-right Texas conservatism.

This all seems a little suspicious.

If convicted, Perry could be sentenced anywhere from five to 99 years in prison.

Let’s take a step back for a minute.

This is the same Rick Perry who was a formidable Republican presidential candidate in 2012. While Democrats see him as George W. Bush part deux and take every opportunity to attack him as a goof who couldn’t name the three

Your Views In response to “Headto-Head: How do we fight campus rape culture?” (by Rob Monteleone, Sept. 2) “Here’s the real double standard: Men can go out alone, party, drink, heck just walk home at night without fear of being raped. Women not only risk being sexually assaulted when they step out of an ever narrowing ‘safe zone’ (which isn’t really safe, but that’s a whole other article), they also have to deal with people like you going on about how if they’d just been a little more careful, nothing bad would have happened to them. Sure, if I lived my entire life inside a glass bubble, I’d be perfectly safe.

But I like experiencing the world. I like camping alone in the backcountry. I like staying up until dawn discussing life with someone who was a complete stranger earlier in the night. I like dancing until

I can’t stand anymore. I like sex, when it’s consensual.

The risk differential for men and women engaging in these activities is unacceptable. We are not going to cower in the corner from fear of assault.

We’re going to change the way the world works and make it safer for us. Quit apologizing for rapists.

And editors, publishing a rape apologist piece is just inexcusable. Exercise a bit of judgment. This is not the ‘other side’ of an issue. This piece is justifying the existence of crime and minimizing crime’s impact on its victims. Consider what message this is sending to incoming freshmen. It’s telling women that if they’re assaulted, that crime will not be taken seriously by their peers. It’s telling potential rapists that their fellow students will tolerate their crimes.”

“Why would you stay up until dawn with a complete stranger? I agree with being safe and prepared. It’s not about living in a glass bubble, it’s about having some common sense. Don’t confuse fear with caution. We need to take responsibility for the choices and risks we take. There’s good and bad people everywhere. I can’t control others, but I can control my choices. If it’s in my hands to at least lower the chance of rape by avoiding or being prepared for certain circumstances, why wouldn’t I do it?”

—Lia (in response to Erin Zwiener) “This is a vastly oversimplified response to rape and rape culture ….

In short, men make claims that it’s women’s fault so that they don’t have to take responsibility for their part in promoting patriarchy …

[The] fact that you believe that you as a man can speak to how women should ‘protect’ themselves from predators reeks of some pretty serious patriarchy.

The important thing to understand about patriarchy

is that men have an unearned privilege to NOT have to protect themselves from women preying on them in overwhelming and systemic ways. [That] is both a reflection of patriarchy and also portrays how when men take/hold/exercise power, they do so at the EXPENSE of women. The only double standard is the one applied to women, not to men. Men are free to drink without fear of being assaulted, but women cannot, and the fact that women are then questioned as though they wanted to be preyed upon is further proof that men (and even some women) have not accepted the reality of patriarchy and how that and misogyny promote rape culture. And you are victimblaming, that is pretty clear.

And gross.”

POLICE BEAT

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

Hit and… keep moving in

On Aug. 21, a UA student was arrested on charges of property damage and hit-and-run, and was released on the scene.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call regarding a hit-and-run on Tyndall Avenue around 7:45 a.m.

A witness to the accident directed the officer to parking lot 5072 on Tyndall Avenue where they had seen a white Land Rover struck by another vehicle. The witness stated that a maroon suburban had struck the vehicle while assisting with the movein process for new residents early Sunday morning.

According to the witness, they saw that the driver of the suburban did not leave enough room when pulling into the parking spot next to the Land Rover and struck the vehicle upon entering the parking spot. The witness also recognized the person driving the suburban, because she had previously attended high school with them. She saw the student realize he struck the vehicle, look at the damage and proceed to unload his belongings to the Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall. After he finished moving his belongings, he got back in his vehicle and drove off.

While the officer observed the damage to the vehicle, he spotted the maroon suburban on Tyndall Avenue and Sixth Street and proceeded to pull the vehicle over. The officer asked the student if he had hit a car earlier that morning. The student replied that he did, but said he only believed he scraped the car.

After the officer observed the area on his car under the passenger headlight that was sunken in from damage, the officer asked him if he really believed that could’ve happened from a simple scrape; he replied probably not.

After the officer advised him on what to do after an accident like that happened, the student apologized and said he freaked out and left.

The student was arrested on charges of failing to remain on the scene and provide information, was cited and was released on the scene.

Missing laptop

On Aug. 21, a UAPD officer responded to a theft incident at the Pueblo de la Cienega Residence Hall.

While a new resident was moving in to the residence hall, he said he believed that his new MacBook Pro had been stolen. The student said that a man and woman were helping him move in when his laptop disappeared en route from his car to his room.

He added that the girl helping him move in was unaware of the laptop missing, but the guy helping him seemed “evasive.”

The student’s father began to speak with the guy who was helping the student move in and said that the backpack he was wearing seemed square in shape. He also asked the guy if he could take a look into his backpack for the laptop, but it was not found.

The officer asked the student and his father to point out the man for questioning, and they were able to do so immediately.

When the UAPD officer interviewed the man, he verbally consented to a search of his backpack, vehicle and an oncampus office at Bear Down Gymnasium, but the laptop was not in those locations.

The officer told the student that from his findings, the laptop was not in the helper’s possession. The student and his father thanked the officer for his help.

Haden aims to contribute

SCORE CENTER TEAM USA WHIPS NEW ZEALAND

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

F

reshman running back and receiver Jonathan Haden’s Arizona football career didn’t start as quickly as expected, but the youngest member of a famous football family still is ahead of the game.

The true freshman graduated from high school early and enrolled at the UA last semester in order to participate in spring football, but couldn’t participate as he awaited NCAA clearance.

Jonathan Haden said he appreciates football more now.

“It was pretty stressful,” he said.

“I came here for one reason: so I could start early, but at least I got to take classes. I just had to stay in shape. I got to watch practice, so I learned some of the plays, that was the only thing I could do, but it was pretty stressful.”

After one week, he hasn’t made it into Arizona’s crowded backfield that produced two 100-yard rushers against UNLV, but he was one of the true freshmen to play in the UA’s season opener.

For week two, he is now listed at second string at one of the slot receiver positions on the UA’s depth chart.

Jonathan Haden came in as a running back, and he’s still listed solely as a back on Arizona’s roster.

“He’s been playing slot receiver more in the last week than he has tailback, so his head’s probably swimming a little bit,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said last week. “He’s a talented player. He’s going to get reps as a freshman, probably in both spots.”

Jonathan Haden comes from a prolific football family. Three of his brothers, Joe (at Florida), Josh (at Boston College) and Jordan (at Toledo) played college football.

ARIZONA FRESHMAN running back Jonathan Haden (7) warms up before Arizona’s season opener against UNLV at Arizona Stadium on Friday. Haden has taken reps at running back and slot receiver so far this season.

“It’s just great to call them and I can ask them anything, and they’ll know exactly what I’m talking about,” Jonathan Haden said.

“They’ve been here, they’ve done exactly what I’m doing right now and it helps me out a lot.”

He added that he talks to at least two of his brothers every day, usually by FaceTime.

Joe Haden is an All-Pro cornerback for the Cleveland Browns and signed a five-year $68 million contract during the offseason.

“I play how I play because of them,” Jonathan Haden said. “In the backyard playing tackle, just us doing a little moves, everybody trying to the little moves that Joe

INTERNATIONAL SOCCER FRIENDLY

would do, just playing together and it made us what we are today.”

He said his brothers’ influence led him to graduate early.

“They all ended up starting as freshmen, so I felt like, ‘OK, they all did this and started as freshmen. I might as well try right now and see what I can do,”

QUOTE TO NOTE

Super Sub LeeAndra Smith has key role on Amato’s team

BY BRIAN PEEL

The Daily Wildcat

A

fter her late heroics last week, Arizona soccer senior midfielder LeeAndra Smith might have a new nickname to go by. Just know in advance that the Wildcats’ “Super-Sub” still prefers her actual name.

“I like my name; my name is OK,” Smith said, laughing. “LeeAndra is good.”

Like the nickname or not, Smith seems to fit the role of “Super-Sub” pretty well after her performance against NAU Thursday night in the Wildcats’ home opener at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium. Smith, who is always easy to pick out on the pitch due to the goggles she dons while playing, came off the bench with about eight minutes to go against the Lumberjacks. She gave the Wildcats the late lead when she scored the only

goal of the night in the 87th minute.

For the Tucson native, who played her high school ball at Palo Verde High School where she was first team all-city as a sophomore, it was her first goal of the young season and only the second in her career at Arizona.

After scoring a goal her freshman season as a Wildcat in 2011, Smith hasn’t seen as much playing time her last few seasons, including making only two appearances last season under then-new head coach Tony Amato. According to Amato, however, Smith is an important part of the team.

“We love Lee,” Amato said. “She has some strengths, and like every player, has some weaknesses. But she is someone who we always know is going to be ready when we call her number to get out there. She is someone who’ll do anything for us. She is a great

teammate.”

Coming off the bench and being expected to contribute is not an easy thing, but Smith said keeping her focus on the sideline is one of the important aspects of being a potential substitute.

“You have to stay mentally involved in the game,” Smith said. “I guess the plus of sitting out that long is you get to watch your opponent and you can see what they’re doing. You get to see what is happening and just observe the game a little more, so that’s one aspect.”

After a bumpy start to the season, which saw the Wildcats split their first road swing of 2014, Smith said the team is getting stronger and is starting to come together.

“I think the team is very good this year,” Smith said.

“I feel like we’re growing as a unit and starting to get to know each other a little better. You know, we have so many different personalities we can play, and I think we are starting to get used to that. I think we are going to take off from here and do really well this season.”

This weekend, the Wildcats (2-1-0) will face their toughest test of the early season when they take on Texas A&M and Oklahoma State in Tempe at the Sun Devil Classic.

Despite the tough matchups for Arizona and Amato, they know with confidence they have a senior “Super-Sub” just waiting for her chance to strike.

“If the team needs me to be on the bench supporting them, then I’m on the bench supporting them,” Smith said.

“If they need me to come in and play any position, then that’s what I’m here to do. I’m just here to do what coach tells me to do and help the team.”

Anu Solomon not only became the first freshman to start at quarterback for Arizona football in a season opener, he also set a freshman passing record with 425 yards. His 425 yards of total offense was the fourth highest in UA history. In addition, Solomon was named the Athlon Sports National Freshman of the Week and a Manning Award Star of the Week.

Arizona football senior running back Terris Jones-Grigsby rushed for over 100 yards by halftime in the Wildcats’ 58-13 win over UNLV and

The new policy calls for a six-game suspension for a first offense and a lifetime ban from the NFL for the second.

Marijuana event educates and informs

BY Ian Martella

The Daily Wildcat

The only drug available at MMJ for Tucson: A Medical Marijuana Resource Event is that of knowledge.

More than 20 local and national medical marijuana vendors were invited by Earth’s Healing not to sell, but to educate others on new developments in marijuana research this past Saturday. Making its debut at the Whistle Stop Depot on west Fifth Street, this purely informational event was the first of its kind to be held in Tucson.

MMJ for Tucson sought to inform the general public of the advantages of using medical marijuana as an alternative to treating post-traumatic stress disorder.

“We’re trying to reach a lot of new patients and people who have no experience with medical marijuana,” said a spokesman of Earth’s Healing, which is a local medical marijuana treatment center.

A large portion of the clientele at Earth’s Healing comprised of veterans with PTSD, according to the company’s spokesman.

The treatment center offers discounts to these veterans, and sees them using medical marijuana for chronic pain and other symptoms.

The convention comes just over a month after the Arizona Department of Health Services approved PTSD as an illness that can be treated with medical marijuana on July 9.

This new law will not take effect until January 2015.

“It’s about time they were included,” said Cathy Mead, owner of Cathy’s Compassion

Ian Martella //The Daily Wildcat

Tucson residents peruse over 20 vendors at MMJ for Tucson: A Medical Marijuana Resource Event.

Vendors offered information on medical marijuana and details on testing processes used in standardizing strains, alongside discounts

Center based in Cochise. Mead says that she services a lot of veterans, and that this new legislation by the ADHS will be able to help many people with PTSD. Mead says that most of her patients belong to the senior community, and are from 65-70 years of age.

“I have a lot of cancer centers that are now referring their patients to me because I am a cancer survivor myself,” Mead added.

Seniors who seek out medical marijuana as

an alternative treatment usually do so to avoid the complex, detrimental side effects of some prescription medications.

Exactly how these ailments are alleviated by medical marijuana is not entirely defined by medical studies, though this is not due to lack of interest in the subject. The Drug Enforcement Administration has marijuana classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning that it is federally categorized with drugs like Ecstasy and heroin.

This classification has hindered the possibility

for researchers to look further into medical marijuana’s place in medical treatment. One of the UA’s former researchers, Dr. Sue Sisley, lost her job researching the effects of marijuana on veterans who suffer from PTSD. Sisley said that the university did not like the idea of veterans smoking and vaporizing marijuana on its campus, and so it proceeded to shut down her research after four years of preparation.

The ADHS originally rejected the proposal for classifying PTSD as an illness treatable by medical marijuana in 2012, on the grounds that anecdotal testimonies regarding the success of medical marijuana on PTSD patients could not amount to more than a placebo effect in terms of scientific evidence.

Coincidentally, those same testimonies helped drive much of this year’s legislative change.

During the convention, speakers prompted attendees to take part in legislative discussion on the formation of laws and regulations governing local dispensaries. Methods of distribution, hours of operation and the limitations placed on infusion kitchens will be up for community critique on Tuesday during the mayor and council meeting.

The potential changes that are up for debate would extend dispensaries’ legal business hours, increase legal commercial space and allow dispensaries to deliver their medication. If approved at the meeting, these changes would take effect on Sept. 10.

Summer television: women’s jail, Kesha and 3 Lannisters This summer provided the world with some great, and some not-so-great, television. Avoid this article if you have been living in a cave for the past few months. There are spoilers for major TV shows. That is your warning.

same, and the storyline is so anticlimactic compared to the real issues presented in “Boy Meets World.” Whatever happened to kids trying things and getting into legitimate trouble for it? That’s real life, and that is what made “Boy Meets World” so great.

The new show is a dud, and it is a gigantic disappointment to all fans of the original series. Shame on you, Disney.

Season two premiered on Netflix this This is a show on Hulu, but it is so worth summer on June 6 after a yearlong wait for watching. If you’re a fan of “The Office,” eager fans. If you binged the entire season “Bob’s Burgers,” and “Happy Endings” on June 6, consider re-watching it, since you (before it made an untimely exit), then you were probably delirious for a few episodes will love this satire on reality TV. It is the in the middle of the season. For those of you only good thing that has come from Hulu as who are not familiar with the show, Piper far as original series go. It’s reminiscent of Chapman goes to prison to serve her time for the Saturday Night Live skit called “Disney the small part she played in smuggling drug Housewives” with Lindsay Lohan as money across a border 10 years ago with Rapunzel .

“Rising Star”

“Louie”

So, ABC decided to ruin television, once again, with this show. Watching “Rising Star” was unbearable. Kesha should not be a judge on this show. All I have to say to that is why? Why? The network wants you to think you play a role in helping this person become famous by forcing you to download a voting app for the live show. As far as talent competitions go, put your trust in “The Voice” and “So You Think You Can Dance.” There are no excuses for watching “Rising Star.”

“Louie” came back on FX, finally, after an incredibly long break — almost two years, to be exact. For those of you who have yet to experience the brilliance that is “Louie,” it is an almost real depiction of Louis C.K.’s actual life as a divorced comedian raising his two daughters in New York. He combines his stand-up with real-life satire that will keep you laughing through the entire show. It’s surprising how honest and practical the life lessons in “Louie” are. Hopefully C.K doesn’t take two years to write the next season.

“Game of Thrones”

“Young & Hungry”

Finally, “Game of Thrones” came back in April for its fourth season. After the disappointment of the third season, the fourth season started off right with the death of Joffrey Baratheon after three years of enduring his attitude. Possibly the highlight of the season. Jaime Lannister turns out to be a good brother, but he’s still doing that whole incest thing with Cersei Lannister. Tyrion Lannister kills Tywin Lannister on the toilet for sleeping with Shae, the dragons were locked away after Daenerys decides they’re too dangerous, there is a battle at the wall and Jon Snow still knows nothing. Bottom line: Season five is going to be everything we have ever wanted.

“Young & Hungry” premiered on ABC Family this summer. It stars Emily Osment from “Hannah Montana” (who is dating Jimmy Tatro, so there’s that) as an incredibly poor chef who surprisingly gets a job as a personal chef for a young entrepreneur played by Jonathan Sadowski from “She’s the Man.” A lot of things happen since it’s ABC Family and everything needs to be dramatic in a “first world problems” sort of way. It was a good idea in theory, but there’s just nowhere else to go with that storyline. Let’s just say DVR-ing wasn’t worth it after the first episode.

“Girl Meets World”

Let’s just get this one out of the way. We all know the original was a million times better than whatever Disney tried to reinvent with this spin-off. The lessons are basically all the
