UA sustainability keeps desert campus green BY SHAQ DAVIS @shaqdavis1
In the last few years, University of Arizona students, staff and faculty have collaborated on different environmental projects, with some garnering national awards and recognition. The university received a gold rating from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, recognition from the Environmental Protection Agency and recently finished No. 38 out of more than 200 universities by the Sierra Club’s Cool Schools 2017 rankings. Efforts around campus by groups such as Students for Sustainability and UA Green Fund not only spread the word on sustainability, but also the practicality of being green. Cameron Carlson, waste reduction committee chair for Students for Sustainability, said the group will work to divert waste from the campus and is cooperating with Waste Management to accomplish that goal. “They have a local plant pretty close to campus but diverts all of the campus waste, and my committee, along with Students for Sustainability, will be volunteering at that plant to help them out in forwarding some of that waste,” Carlson said. The presence of these groups shows the community real work is being done, according to Carlson. “I definitely think it’s essential to a campus,” he said. “They’re going out and promoting not only sustainability but sustainability here on campus and really showing our campus community that we are here and we can make a difference.” On May 1, Ann Weaver Hart,
former UA president, wrote an executive letter to the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, detailing the UA’s sustainability efforts. The letter read, “With over 1,600 undergraduate and graduate courses offered every two years that explore the intersectionality of large-scale environmental, social and economic challenges, sustainability is infused throughout UA’s curricula and academic culture.” The UA has continued to add to its degree programs with the 2015 addition of Environmental Engineering, a course focused on the development of sustainable systems and the reusing of natural resources. UA Green Fund, created in 2010, is made up of students who allocate $400,000 of student fees and apply it to different sustainability projects throughout campus. Grants are available to all who apply with their own proposals, with all grants awarded by a committee of ten graduate and undergraduate students. Associated Students of the University of Arizona also has nine committees working in different areas to improve sustainability within the university community and Tucson. With organizations around campus hosting annual events to get the community involved in doing more for the environment, Ben Champion, director for the Office of Sustainability, said a recent event the office helped coordinate accomplished much in its second year. “We just wrapped up running the ‘Dodge a Dumpster’ and rummage sale programs where we were collecting waste from the residence

hall move out process and reselling that,” Champion said. “That was a pretty good success for our second year; [it] grew quite tremendously and we’re looking forward to continuing that.” The Parking and Transportation Services department also received awards for its sustainability plan to reduce harm to the environment by encouraging alternative methods to get to campus. The department won the Best Workplaces for Commuters award, and according to the PTS website, the UA community has saved 192,644 pounds of pollution

“This year, the state will fund approximately 34 percent.” Governor Doug Ducey came out against the lawsuit and in support of the regents, calling it unnecessary. “Our universities are accessible and affordable,” Ducey said. “It’s already been litigated and answered.” This ligation came in 2003 when four University of Arizona students sued the regents when they raised tuition 39 percent in a single year, claiming they violated the same “nearly free” clause. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that tuition increases are a political issue and not within their purview. They noted the legislature could affect tuition costs with their appropriations and concluded the regents have the discretion to interpret the tuition revenue needed to support Arizona’s universities. During Ducey’s first term in office, he cut $99 million from state appropriations to the public universities as part of an effort to balance the state’s budget. While some funding has returned, $32 million last year, most of it comes in the form of one-time dollars. In his refute to the lawsuit, Ducey pointed to the universities’ high national rankings, in particular Arizona State University’s status as No. 1 in innovation for the third year in a row. Addressing DACA, Ducey said, “I’ve always thought that a child that graduates from an Arizona high school is certainly an Arizona student and certainly should have access to in-state tuition at our universities.” However, Ducey did agree with President Trump’s decision to rescind the program because a long-term solution must come from Congress, he said.

Arizona’s Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed a lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents, the governing board of Arizona’s three public universities, alleging that the regents have unconstitutionally raised tuition and fees for in-state students over the last 15 years. “With its unconstitutional tuition-setting policy, ABOR has abandoned its duty to serve as a check on the university presidents, and has engaged in an unprecedented series of lockstep tuition hikes across Arizona’s three public universities that has resulted in a tuition increase of over 300 percent at each school,” Brnovich claims in the lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed Sept. 8 in Maricopa County Superior Court, states the regents violated Arizona’s specific constitutional mandate to provide university education “as nearly as free as possible” to Arizona residents in three main ways. First, the lawsuit claims the regents unlawfully take into account the price tag of peer institutions and the availability of financial aid for in-state students when setting tuition. “ABOR has misinterpreted its ‘nearly free’ mandate (which is focused on the cost of furnishing instruction) to mean ‘affordable,’” Brnovich’s office wrote in the lawsuit. Secondly, the lawsuit claims the universities charge online and part-time students more than the actual cost of instruction through mandatory fees, like those for health and athletics. Lastly, the lawsuit claims the regents are illegally spending money to provide Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients instate tuition, in violation of Arizona’s 2006 Prop 300, and could open up the state to federal lawsuits. A case addressing the legality of offering in-state tuition rates for DACA students is already headed to the Arizona Supreme Court. The lawsuit is not unprecedented. To the Arizona Board of Regents Chair Bill Ridenour, it appears more as a publicity stunt. “This suit will allow us to present the facts to a court of law and seek clarification of our constitutionally mandated obligation to provide ‘instruction as nearly free as possible,’” Ridenour wrote in a Sept. 11 press release. “We can now address who will pay for that mandate.” Ridenour argued increasing tuition and affordability concerns are not unique to Arizona students. What does make Arizona unique, according to Ridenour, is that it ranks No. 48 in state legislature appropriations for higher education. “Just 10 years ago, the state funded approximately 75 percent of the educational

POLICE BEAT BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @hotbread33
Group gripe A University of Arizona Police Department officer was called to Colonia De La Paz Residence Hall around 11 a.m. Sept. 10 in reference to a University of Arizona student yelling at a classmate. Upon arrival, the officer met with a student who told police a classmate called her a “bitch.” According to the student, she and five classmates met in a room of the Eller College of Management to begin working on a group project. Only two of her classmates were present. The student calmly told the group they needed to be more focused and everyone needed to be more prepared. Her classmate took offense to what she said and told her, “you’re not the team leader” and said “you’re just a bitch who is only worried about yourself.” The student told police this shocked her, as she hadn’t even met this classmate before. She went on to assure her classmate she only wanted the group to stay on top of its work since they would be responsible for more than 20 projects. The student emailed her professor and requested to be put into another group. She told the officer she only wanted to report the incident and did not want police to contact her classmate since she was not in fear for her safety. An FYI was forwarded to the Dean of Students. To the wall A UAPD officer was called to Coronado Residence Hall around 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 9 to check the welfare of a resident. An employee told police she encountered a resident in front of the wall directly across the elevators. She noticed a large, wet spot on the wall and floor and the resident turned around and told her, “I just peed on the wall.” He then walked back to his room and closed the door. The employee said she did not see him urinate and did not see his genitalia. She did notice the resident’s body covered in black Sharpie drawings. Police found the wet spot, which had a strong smell of urine, and proceeded to knock on the resident’s door. The offending student’s roommate answered the door and let police enter, where they found the student on his bed. He identified himself verbally, had slurred speech and red, bloodshot eyes. Police said they were there to check on his welfare, and he responded he drank “a lot” of alcohol at several unknown dorm rooms in Coronado Residence Hall. He told police he did not remember how or when he got home, or who drew on his body. He added he did not know he urinated on the wall near the elevators.

This option also poses a risk, as scammers rely on people’s fear of confrontation. “It is also hard to catch these people,” Wilson wrote. “The attorney general has done some work in this area, but much more work is needed.” In the wake of the attack on DACA, it’s possible this problem will grow. “I expect that more will be trickling in,” Wilson wrote. Goldman, however, is hopeful that DACA students will manage to avoid notarios and scammers. “Keep in mind, with DACA you have a group of individuals, many who are educated and who have witnessed family members go through this previously, so they might be less apt to be taken advantage of,” he said. Both Goldman and Wilson warned against believing untrustworthy sources. Anything learned via an internet chatroom should not be believed without subsequent research. Even the news can unwittingly spread information that eventually proves unhelpful. Goldman recommended undocumented students trust only legitimate, reliable sources like The National Immigration Law Center and United We Dream. For University of Arizona students, the Immigration Student Resource Center, located on the second floor of the Cesar E. Chavez building, acts as a support system for immigrant students, both documented and undocumented. Matt Matera, the coordinator for the Immigrant Student Resource Center, said he has never had students come to him with reports of notario scams. “Knowledge is power,” Goldman said.

Every case is different, so personally meeting with a legal consultant is critical. “You can’t use logic to sort it out on your own because the law has no logic,” Wilson wrote. Some law firms even offer free consultations for DACA students to get a second opinion on the advice they receive from family and friends. “If something sounds too good to be true, they may want to get a second opinion,” Goldman said.
UA to improve disability access with new funding BY KELLY DORNEY @DailyWildcat
Utilizing legislative dollars, the University of Arizona has made disability access a line item in its 10year deferred maintenance spending plan. Currently, the UA plans to devote more than $1 billion toward deferred maintenance over a 10-year period. “A couple of students came to my office and addressed the fact that there are a lot of accessibility access problems on campus,” Matt Lubisich, Associated Students of the University of Arizona president, said. Lubisich went to the Disability Resource Center to discuss the student body’s requests. The DRC is examining buildings for Americana with Disabilities Act compliance and
maintenance needs. The DRC has readily pursued funding to address the problems with accessibility on campus. Lubisich shared this consensus with UA facility management. “[Facility management] is 100-percent on board, and I shared with them the Disability Resource Center’s analysis,” Lubisich said. “They asked for my help.” Recognized areas of maintenance include repairs to HVAC systems, heating and cooling units, ventilation, plumbing, water leakage and pipe insulation. Additionally, facility management will be making sure buildings are up to safety codes. The Veterinary Science and Microbiology building, referred to as “Building 90,” will be among the
first buildings to receive renovations. This 50-year-old building will require repairs costing an estimated $18 million. The UA’s maintenance plan will utilize funds from the $307.5 million capital development plan for the 2018 fiscal year. The Arizona Legislature appropriated $10.5 million to the UA for projects reviewed after April 15. “We have tracked our deferred maintenance needs on an annual basis, and we know it’s a huge issue because we have not gotten the funds from the state to address this maintenance,” said Chris Kopach, facilities management assistant vice president. Each year, Kopach conducted an annual report in cooperation with a third party company to assess
maintenance needs on campus. The last report sent to the Board of Regents recommended a $311 million maintenance budget for the 2017 fiscal year. “We work really closely with our disability resource center to say what needs improvement on campus and develop a five- to 10-year ADA upgrade plan,” Kopach said. Complete funding is still awaiting approval from Arizona’s state representatives. Kopach’s team is working closely with these individuals to accelerate the process. “Knowing this is a critical need on campus, we are getting everything ready to go so that we can have a really nice kickoff,” Kopach said. The DRC works to ensure campus spaces and environments are
accessible to all students and has been working closely with facilities management for months. “We are trying to prioritize based on frequency of use, traffic and the way these spaces are utilized,” said Amanda Kraus, the DRC director. “This will create a plan that we hope can be built into the facilities management deferred maintenance funding budget.” The center works closely with students to meet individual needs. Kraus aims to be proactive in building repairs, but with a lack of funding, sometimes retrofitting or moving a classroom for a specific student is the only option available. “We make sure that each individual has an inclusive experience,” Kraus said.

COMMENTARY
North Korea’s gamble: Relations with U.S. OPINION
BY ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
C
risis looms over the Korean peninsula as talk of nuclear warfare and bold-faced threats of destruction are thrown from one side of the Pacific to the other, and Americans are beginning to wonder whether the world will see an atomic showdown. But, while the threat of violence is real, it’s not new or even unique in the long and strained history of North KoreanAmerican relations. The threat of a nuclear showdown with North Korea has been used to get attention and obtain better deals with its much more powerful diplomatic rivals. Beginning with the violent Korean War, during which over 2.5 million people lost their lives, both soldier and civilian, the U.S. has had a history of only negative and contentious relations with the hermit kingdom. In the years following the cease-fire in 1953, the cold war between the U.S. and North Korea never lost this overtly hostile and bellicose tone. In 1968, North Korea secured perhaps its greatest propaganda victory by capturing the USS Pueblo, a U.S. intelligence ship stationed off the infamously closed-off country’s coast. Through use of force, the ship was captured and the sailors imprisoned until President Lyndon Johnson formally apologized to the Korean government in exchange for the release of the prisoners. This apology, though immediately revoked once the
prisoners were released, set the stage for the atomic diplomacy that has left the two nations increasingly on-edge. By rolling over to a North Korean show of force, the Kim family realized the only way to get the attention of Washington is to make threats and act through violence. In 1993, the first North Korean missile tests began, resulting in an international crisis that demanded the attention of newly inaugurated President Bill Clinton. The threat of North Korea developing missiles capable of reaching Japan made the previously local threat of the stagnant and authoritarian nation into a potentially multinational war zone. When the deal was finalized to ensure no further attempts to build nuclear warheads, the U.S. promised, “to lift decades-old sanctions, supply the North with 500,000 tons of oil a year and provide $4 billion in aid to construct a light-water reactor capable of producing nuclear energy but not weapons.” In effect, North Korea just held the world hostage with only the idea of nuclear capabilities, and it didn’t take long for them to take the next step and see what actual missiles could get them. In the years following 1993, five more missile tests would follow, each associated with growing concern from the world community as they began to treat the People’s Republic of Korea as much more of a threat than they were before. In 1999, North Korea agreed to cease the production of nonnuclear long-range missiles in exchange for a lessening of economic sanctions, this flying the face of their continued search for enriched uranium to develop nuclear warheads. By using either threats or the

Yet, according to Lubisich, keeping in-state tuition low starts at the state legislature. “We have been losing state funding for the last few years, and that creates a gap that the university and regents have to make up for by raising tuition,” Lubisich said. “If the state allocates more resources to the university, I think that will help keep tuition low.”

North Korea is not developing weapons to invade the U.S. and
The student voice is key and should play a role in tuition-setting, Lubisich said. He encouraged students to attend the regents’ tuition hearing session to speak or to contact ASUA so they can lobby the university to ask for fewer increases from the regents.

The regents have also slowed the growth of tuition for in-state students, increased needbased aid and improved graduation rates and outcomes. “There needs to be a rational, statewide discussion, without political pandering, regarding our entire education structure and funding model for K-12 and higher education, including university education,” Ridenour said.

UA sunscreen tech licensed to large company BY JORDAN WILLIAMS @gooddivajj
With the 110-degree heat and 300-plus days of sun, it makes sense that new sunscreen technology would come from Tucson. That’s why Tech Launch Arizona helped two University of Arizona scientists get their new sunblock on the market. The sunscreen technology, created by chemistry professor Douglass Loy and graduate student Stephanie Tolbert, is a natural, aloe-based technology that will not dissolve or penetrate the skin. Recently, a company called Novamex, a vast distributor of Mexican products in the United States, bought the rights to the sunscreen technology. “The whole goal of Tech Launch Arizona is to work with investigators, to protect the intellectual property of the university and to market it and find licensees to take stuff from the bench to the public,” said Doug Hockstad, assistant vice president for Tech Launch, who is responsible for technology transfer.
One of Novamex’s subsidiaries, MexiAloe Laboratories, is one of the largest distributors of aloe vera in North America. Through prior relationships, the UA received a call from Novamex to work with them. “They were basically reaching out to the UA to see if we had anything in our portfolio that was kind of a natural product, [or] solution that could be used in health care,” said Paul Eynott, former TLA licensing manager for the College of Science. That was kind of the general ask.” TLA evaluated the portfolios, and of the 20 different technologies, the sunscreen technology piqued the interest of Novamex. “The one that caught their attention, obviously, was the technology that was disclosed to Tech Launch from Douglass Loy, who’s one of the inventors of the sunscreen technology,” Eynott said. That was 18 months ago, Eynott said. The technology was a perfect fit for Novamex, who was looking for a product to give them a stake in aloe vera. According to Eynott,
Novamex didn’t have a sunscreenbased product in its portfolio. They thought Loy’s technology could “leverage their stake in aloe vera.” TLA also funded Loy to make the technology ready for the market. “Stuff that comes out of the university is very early stage, generally speaking,” Hockstad said. “So, it takes a lot of work to both get it to the market and to find the right partners ... to make it public or end-user product.” Paul Tumarkin, senior manager of marketing and communications at TLA, said some technologies are so early stage they might not be market-ready. Loy worked with TLA to develop the product and get it ready for market. TLA has a “pot of money” from which to “dole out” resources to scientists working on new products, Tumarkin said. “And in this case, we did that,” Tumarkin said. “We invested a little bit of money with Doug Loy’s lab to help prepare that technology and to make it a little more market-ready.” Another aspect of getting the technology licensed was

marketing, which generally involves reaching out to key players in the industry. According to Tumarkin, that involves finding, approaching and pitching to the key players. “We talk to the investigators, and we look at the industry players in that technology area,” Tumarkin said.

able to begin developing much sooner. According to regent Chairman Bill Ridenour, this is also beneficial to the UA. The regents and UA officials want to get this project completed as soon as possible because they say it will help keep the university competitive with other institutions. “We have a timing problem,” Ridenour said. “You submit those to zoning … [and] how long will that hold us up? We can’t answer those questions. “We need to get started on this,” he added. “This is extremely important to the University of Arizona, so that the university is able to compete with all other schools.” Kozachik said he has no qualms about the project itself, but he does fear that this process will hurt the credibility of the UA and hopes the project will go through the slower city rezoning process. “The honors project itself is a wonderful idea, wonderful project. It’s the location and the manner in which it’s being done that is causing concern,” Kozachik said. Many of the neighborhood representatives who have tried to be involved as this project has changed and grown are worried this could become a normal course of action when it benefits the UA. “The university has a way of getting what they want,” said Grace Rich, president of the North University Neighborhood Association. “And little guys in the way … if they can do it,

they’ll probably do something about the little guy.” Kozachik said this could potentially open the floodgates to similar projects. “This template would set a precedent for other developers to come in and start doing it, and the fact that it is outside of the university planning boundary means that
if the UA moved forward with this model it could happen anywhere in the city; it doesn’t have to be right around campus,” Kozachik said. Yet, Ridenour said this is a one-and-done deal and doesn’t expect the UA to use this method repeatedly. “Every project stands alone, and so there
According to Hockstad, it’s a big deal for TLA to be approached by a large company like Novamex or MexiAloe for technology, but it’s no accident. “There’s a lot of work going on behind the scenes to try and find the right person to talk to, the right industry and the right company,” Hockstad said.
would be no trend that the University of Arizona is going to do this in the future,” Ridenour said. However, this process is lucrative for the UA for a variety of reasons, and Lett sees nothing that would stop the UA from using this method again. “Various university representatives have said this is a one-off and that they’re not going to do this type of project again, this is not the type of public-private partnership that they want to use elsewhere,” Lett said. “City Council doesn’t believe that, and neither do I.” Kozachik agreed. “So from the UA’s perspective, they would obviously do that 10-times-out-of-10 if it weren’t for the fact that the process … does not involve any kind of public voice in the rezoning,” he said. According to Kozachik, this process has never been used before in Tucson. “This is the first time it’s been done here where a private developer has come in and simply given the university property,” Kozachik said. “This is a very novel, creative way of getting around the city zoning, and people looked at it and said ‘What the hell!’” Looking forward, Lett said private litigation is a possibility but would be expensive to pursue, and what’s more likely is litigation from the city over property taxes. “The only thing that will remain dealt with in court, by the time it finally gets there, will be the issue of whether this is a development that owes the city revenue,” Lett said.

Tumamoc Hill: Tracing the past, embracing the future BY CHANDLER DONALD @Chandlerjdonald
A recent schedule change and the creation of several community outreach endeavors has ushered in a new era for the Desert Laboratory at Tumamoc Hill. This historic ecological preserve on Tucson’s west side has tantalized the region’s inhabitants for thousands of years. It is a focal point in the Tucson valley landscape, and it has many stories to tell. For some, however, it has only ever been a hiking destination. There was a common disregard for the scientific and cultural importance of Tumamoc, according to Ben Wilder, director of the Desert Laboratory at Tumamoc Hill. It was common for visitors to come outside of the schedule — restrictions that were difficult to enforce. “A lot of people didn’t realize that they were breaking a rule,” Wilder said. Now with the help of the University of Arizona Police Department, Tumamoc has established a new, more community-friendly schedule: 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. This, along with the launch of a new app, Tumamoc Tour, brings hope of renewing the bond between Tumamoc and the people of the Tucson Valley, according to Wilder. That bond goes back thousands of years. According to Wilder, there is concrete
evidence of corn found near what is now downtown Tucson, dated over 11,000 years ago. “At the base of Tumamoc, just near where the mission gardens are, there’s dates of about a 4,000-year-old settlement,” Wilder said. “So that 4,000-year settlement makes Tucson and the territory right next to Tumamoc the longest continuously habited site in the United States.” That evidence was at the forefront of the recent United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization designation of Tucson as an International City of Gastronomy, the first and only city in the U.S. to have such a designation. “We have over 2,500 to 4,000 years of continuous use and then about 115 years of science,” Wilder said. “So science is a relatively small piece of the story.” While science may be small in the history of Tumamoc, it is huge in terms of the contributions made. Wilder said botanists first came to Tumamoc in 1905. “Studying the desert back then was like us now studying the surface of other planets,” Wilder said. “There were very foundational questions, and they wanted answers.”
One of the revolutionary experiments at Tumamoc started in 1905 when Volney Spalding, an early botanist, set 19 10-by-10meter plots to observe the plant life. “They mapped every single perennial plant and its coverage, identified the species and then continued to do that over and over and over once every five to 10 years,” Wilder said. “When you continue that for over a hundred years, you begin to see patterns, processes and fluctuations that you would never see on a short-term scale.” Wilder said these plots are the oldest continuously monitored plots in the world. The first botanists also took a similar approach to the over 3,000 saguaros at Tumamoc, monitoring their height and diameter for well over 100 years. That level of dedication has made Tumamoc saguaros the best-studied saguaros in the world, Wilder said. “What I find so interesting in terms of the use today is that people going to the top of Tumamoc Hill is not a new thing,” Wilder said. “As we hike Tumamoc, it’s just the next chapter in this story that’s been going on for several thousand years.” Wilder said the future of the hill relies on its connection with the people.
“The Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill is an ecological reserve; it’s not a park,” Wilder said. “That being said, there’s an amazing opportunity here to make that connection between the history of the place, the current use of the place and also the future.” The next step toward the future for Tumamoc comes with the implementation of a new app for visitors. “It tells the story of the Sonoran Desert but through the lips of Tumamoc Hill,” Wilder said. “There’s a narrative tour that’s divided into six sections that are timed to coincide with your walk up and down the hill.” In addition, Wilder said the app offers over 15 extra features, including YouTube videos that tell different stories of science and culture on Tumamoc Hill. The app Tumamoc Tour is available now and completely bilingual. However, Wilder said that that’s not the only endeavor to get the community involved. “We’re also starting an arts program, working to engage these themes of cultural history and science and that community connection,” Wilder said. “That’s something that we’re going to be working on for the next few months and years.” Although the community and landscape around it change, the past, present and future can always be seen at Tumamoc Hill.

Facing the facts:
Advancement in facial recognition OPINION
BY BRIAN WINKLER @Brianewinkler
I
magine walking through airport security without a boarding pass, a passport or any form of identification and getting right on your plane. Well, that’s not entirely true. Your identification is your face. Over the summer, various airports around the country started testing new facial-recognition software in hopes of improving security and streamlining check-in, including baggage drop-off. This new system, the Biometric Pathway, is currently being tested in seven airports around the U.S. with the hopes of eventually expanding to all airport Transportation Security Admission checkpoints. This system works by having passengers stand in front of a screen that takes a picture of their face and compares it to a database of known citizens. The program compares the distance between your eyes, the width of your nose, the shape of your cheekbones and other facial features. While the concept of facialrecognition has been around for a couple decades, it’s only recently that its application has become practical. This is due partly to the advent of 3D image processing, which allows for accurate photo analysis, independent of the lighting on the subject. Essentially, it’s difficult for a program to compare two pictures where the lighting is different. A change in shadows on a face can make the program think that two different images of one person are actually of two separate people. By using 3D image processing, a “faceprint” is created and added to a database. In the case of airports, this database belongs to Customs and Border Patrol, though such databases aren’t limited to government entities. Social media giant Facebook already uses a similar database system to make suggestions for who to tag in photos uploaded to the platform through the implementation of a database of user’s faces. Even Apple is working facialrecognition into the new iPhone so that your phone can scan your face when you pick it up and automatically unlock.
As with anything involving private citizens’ information, there are drawbacks. One implication is the potential security compromise of the database of faceprints. Everything connected to the internet is a potential target for hackers, and if hackers could steal the facial information of a whole country, there’s no telling what the potential fallout could be for private citizens. Aside from security risks, the potential commercial and governmental applications are just plain creepy. Imagine being in public and having a company scan your face, then use it to send you targeted advertising. The ad company Redpepper is already using such a system. By using Facebook profiles, Redpepper created a system called “FaceDeals” that implements cameras in various commercial enterprises to target consumers and text them personalized coupons. There are many ways to protect yourself from facial recognition (such as wearing a prosthetic face) but sadly, the time for preventative measures may have passed us. Georgetown’s Law Center for Privacy and Technology published a report last year concluding that over half of all Americans are already in some form of a law enforcement faceprint database. Since that report was published last year, we can only assume that number has grown. This means law enforcement agencies can accurately track everyone, regardless of whether or not they’re a suspect in a crime. This inherently violates the spirit of freedom of movement in this country. A surprising player in this database is your local Motor Vehicle Department. The FBI linked this bio-metric recognition to the database of driver’s license photos. If you have a driver’s license, well, the FBI can track your face. All that’s left is to ask ourselves, are we actually okay with these forms of technology? Is our right to privacy less important than our want for security? Are we comfortable further pushing open the doorway to becoming a police state? My answer is no. What’s yours? — Brian Winkler is a transfer student from Pima Community College majoring in computer engineering

THIS ILLUSTRATION SHOWS NASA’S Cassini spacecraft about to make one of its dives between Saturn and its innermost rings as part of the mission’s grand finale.
Decades-long mission ends with dive into Saturn The spacecraft Cassini was piloted into Saturn to avoid contaminating nearby moons, which scientists say may harbor chance for life
BY WILLIAM ROCKWELL @Willwrock529
On Friday, Sept. 15, the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn hurled itself into the gas giant, ending its twenty-year long mission. In its final moments, the spacecraft collected unique data unlike anything seen before, including samples of Saturn’s atmosphere and various pictures of the planet. Launched in 1997 by the Titan rocket, Cassini did not enter Saturn’s orbit until 2004. Cassini came equipped with twelve different instruments and devices designed to record everything from magnetic fields to atmosphere effects and pictures, according to University of Arizona professor of planetary surface processes and Cassini researcher Robert Brown. “Saturn has an interesting and really dynamic atmosphere,” said Brown. “You can learn a lot about the Earth’s atmosphere and how atmospheric circulation works by looking at other planets.” Cassini has also been used to research Saturn’s rings and two of its moons, Enceladus and Titan, thought to hold the capability to harbor organic life. This research also has broader implications, according to Brown. “If you understand the chemical composition of materials in the Saturn system, you get an understanding of how the solar system works,” Brown said. Enceladus has a core hot enough for liquid water to exist under its crust, with geysers of water bursting forth from its south pole. The crust is composed of ice, which extends several kilometers down under the surface. “Liquid water in contact with what we believe to be a rocky interior gives us the sense that perhaps the conditions inside Enceladus are similar to the conditions that might have existed in early Earth,” Brown said. The existence of liquid water and conditions similar to a primeval Earth make for excellent research into the formation of life, not just here but hopefully in alien worlds. Brown said that evidence for a rocky core comes from the gravity field, which is affected by the distribution of mass. “We don’t know that for sure though, because we haven’t looked,” Brown said. Cassini also came supplied with a probe named Huygens,
which landed on Titan. The probe gathered data on the composition of Titan’s atmosphere, which is composed mostly of nitrogen. Brown said the pressure is nice enough that with a respirator one could explore Titan without a spacesuit, if they could handle the chilling cold. “The most interesting aspect of Titan is that it has free liquid on its surface, what we would call lakes and seas in terms of their size,” Brown said. “But that’s where the analogy ends, because they’re composed of liquid methane, ethane and propane.” These two moons are the greatest reason Brown said they sent Cassini into Saturn. These moons harbor the chance for life, and they don’t want to contaminate them with materials from Earth, should Cassini crash into them. Of course, Huygens has already landed on Titan, which carries its own concerns for contamination. “They did everything they could to clean and sanitize it,” Brown said. “When we started this mission in 1990, we weren’t concerned as much with what we now call planetary protection.” The Grand Finale phase of the Cassini mission, which started back in April, put the spacecraft dangerously close to Saturn itself and the rings. “The big advantage of doing that is you get better resolution of the rings and higher detail of the planet,” Brown said. “Another theme is that we’ve been sampling areas of the magnetosphere that we couldn’t sample otherwise.” A majority of the important samples were taken before Cassini’s final moments, but the unique data that was gathered in the last moments include samples of Saturn’s atmosphere and infrared images of the general area where the spacecraft burned up. Brown said Cassini’s last moments were a tumble, which is why it lost contact with Earth. “Cassini has all these things sticking out, and so it’s going to tumble as a result of drag,” Brown said. The end of Cassini also acted as a great learning opportunity. From Cassini, Brown said he can learn new efficiency techniques, what kind of questions they should be asking and what needs prioritizing. “When you understand the objects better, you can plan ahead,” Brown said. “A lot of times you don’t know what you should
know, and by understanding the planets, you know what kind of questions to ask the instruments needed to answer those questions.” A new proposal is on its way to NASA for the next generation of New Horizon spacecraft to go back and possibly orbit Titan, a proposal which Brown is currently working on. “The most important question from a philosophical point of view is are we alone, and from my perspective the answer to that question is very important,” Brown said.

New, safer sunscreen blocks radicals Most commercial sunscreens contain organic chemicals that can pass through skin, dissolve and turn into harmful radicals once hit with UV rays BY HANNAH DAHL @hannah_dahl715
Chemists at the University of Arizona have developed a new, long-lasting sunscreen that won’t break down or absorb into your skin. “We’re the first to develop a polymeric sunscreen material,” said Ravindu Nanayakkara, a graduate student in chemistry and researcher involved with the project. “We expect this [sunscreen] will have a longer lifetime compared to the commercial sunscreens on the market.” The new sunscreen is made of solid polymers, which won’t penetrate the skin or dissolve into radicals when exposed to ultraviolet rays. Most commercial sunscreens available today contain organic chemicals, such as avobenzones and benzophenones, said Douglas Loy, the lead researcher on the project and a professor of materials science, engineering, chemistry and biochemistry. These organic chemicals can cross through your skin and dissolve in fatty tissue. Once these molecules are hit by ultraviolet light, they enter into an excited state and begin to degrade into radicals within your body, Loy said. Radicals are molecules that can be harmful when present in your body. They can cause skin thinning, which is a cause of skin cancer and DNA and protein damage, according to Loy. “I always found that was appalling, that yes, [these sunscreens] are preventing UV rays from directly interacting with the body, but you’re still generating these radical species,” Loy said. “So we thought it would be a really good idea not to have them cross over.” One of the main ingredients in the new polymeric sunscreen is curcumin, a natural mineral derived from the spice turmeric, Nanayakkara said. Curcumin is also cheaper than the benzophenones. The decision to use a natural, biologically friendly

Equine Center enrolls new class of foals BY VICTOR GARCIA @VicGarcia96
The University of Arizona has lived up to its claims of a very diverse student population this semester, as the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences enrolled a group of 11 young horses. Kacee Richardson, Equine Center manager, said that the horses are bred at the UA Equine Center, on Campbell Avenue, where animal science students get to be part of the entire breeding process. “The broodmares get bred every spring, and the mare’s gestational length is about 342-344 days — about 11 months — so we have new foals every year,” Richardson said. Norielle Ziemann, a senior in the equine program, has worked with three of the horses, Misa, Knockout and Maverick. “Sometimes the horses want to be playful, so we have to teach them not to bite us when they want to have fun with us,” Ziemann said. Ziemann said the foals are surprisingly friendly with humans. Since horses are prey animals it would be expected of them to fear humans, but the staff and students in the Equine Center have taught them otherwise. “That is why it is critical for the first few hours of birth to show love to them to be familiarized with us,” she said. According to Richardson, the Equine Center has the means to raise and train the foals with

Weanling Training and Management classes, where students begin building the foundational training for the foals bred and raised there. “The horses are for students to gain hands-on experience working with horses,” he said. “The students run their own show and sale barn, and will show horses to clients and develop marketing tools to promote the horses they are selling.”
According to Richardson, the money earned from selling the horses goes directly to the Equine Center. This acts as a form of funding to provide the farm with feeding and training equipment for the horses. “At the program they show us certain techniques that work on each horse and how there are different personalities to them,” said
Megan Hanson, a junior in the equine program. “You cannot work with one horse and expect a different result, they are just like people.” The program has looked for other ways for the horses to be more involved in the community. These horses can establish new relationships with other humans through therapy. “We have talked about having a therapeutic program using the horses to help people,” said Hanson. “The manager has talked about doing an internship called TROT [Therapeutic Riding of Tucson].” Richardson said they’re currently looking at ways to grow the program and increase opportunities to work with the horses. “We are in a very unique position to grow the program. We have big dreams of what we would like our students to do with these Arabian horses,” Richardson said. “We would like the students to train them to be ridden and actually travel to shows with the horses.” According to Ziemann, the breeding process for these Arabian horses is done mostly by artificial insemination, in which horse semen is frozen and then reheated to get the mares pregnant. This isn’t the first time Equine bred horses at its barns. The program has a history of breeding. According to Richardson, in the 1980s the Equine Sciences program was built from the ground up. “In the late 1990s, it was further grown into the program it is now, with its focus on breeding thoroughbred race-horse prospects,” he said.

Tailgating Tips Tailgating: A tailgate party is a social event held on and around the open tailgate of a vehicle. Tailgating, which originated in the United States, often involves socializing, eating and drinking. Not all students drink alcohol at tailgates, but if you choose to, follow these simple tips to ensure that you make it to the football game to cheer on the Wildcats! • Eat. Before, during and after consuming alcohol. Food helps to dilute alcohol in the stomach and slows the absorption of alcohol into the small intestines, meaning you have a better chance of staying in your sweet spot (usually a BAC of 0.05 or under). • Drink Water. Alcohol is a diuretic, which is why when you’re drinking you may have to pee often. This can cause dehydration, a common cause of headaches and hangovers. • Pace Yourself. Drinking too much alcohol, too fast, can kill you. It can
also lead to blackouts, which prevent you from remembering your experience. In 2016, 57% of UA students report alternating with non-alcoholic beverages.1 • Choose beer instead of liquor. Beer has less alcohol by volume, which can encourage pacing and help you enjoy every aspect of the tailgate and game. UA tailgate policy only allows for beer and wine anyway! • Designate a Driver. 91% of UA students reported having a designated driver when they drink.1 Be sure you have a sober driver to get you home after celebrating Wildcat wins! • Wear Sunscreen. We all know the Tucson sun can be brutal! Sunscreen can help prevent sunburn, and even heat exhaustion. Wearing your favorite red and blue hat can also help protect you from harmful rays and help keep you cool. • Bear Down! 1.2016 UA Health & Wellness Survey, (n = 3,113)

UA COMMUNITY MEMBERS INDUCTED INTO LOCAL HALL OF FAME
Tucson Musicians Museum celebrates 10 years
BY BREAGH WATSON @breaghwatson
The Tucson Musicians Museum will hold its 10th annual induction ceremony for outstanding Tucson musicians and community servants this Sunday, Sept. 24. Among this year’s inductees are Edward Reid, the director of the Fred Fox School of Music, and Fred Fox himself. Other inductees are Gabriel Sullivan, Russell Long, LeeAnne Savage, John L. Contreras, David Slutes and Chuck and Mae Camp. Sullivan will also be named TMM’s Up and Coming Artist of the year, and Fox will be given a Lifetime Achievement award.
Q&
In order to be inducted, the nominee has to have lived in Tucson, played in Tucson and done community service in Tucson for at least 25 years. After being nominated, each individual is reviewed and finally selected for induction. The induction ceremony is a celebration of music and culture. Most inductees will perform during the event. There will also be other performances by dance groups, members of the museum’s youth workshops and the New Orleans Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The Tucson Musicians Museum is also celebrating its 10-year anniversary with the induction ceremony. “The Tucson Musicians Museum was started because
we needed to recognize more people around town that are superstars,” said George Howard, 2007 inductee and president of the Tucson Musicians Museum. “I wanted to educate our community on how lucky we are to have such talent here and people who have committed themselves to education.” The induction ceremony takes place on Sunday, Sept. 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Tucson Convention Center’s North Exhibit Hall. Tickets are $10. Proceeds from the ticket sales and silent auction will benefit Tucson Musician Museum’s youth music workshop programs by providing instruments and instruction to children in the community.
Reid all about the man behind UA music
University of Arizona professor, director of the Fred Fox School of Music and 2017 inductee, Edward Reid experiences and the future of the museum. Reid attended the Eastman School of Music and holds a Bachelor of Music degree in applied music and music education, as well as a masters degree in music. In 1994, he began teaching trumpet at the UA. He was named director of the School of Music in 2015. Daily Wildcat: What does being an inductee mean to you? Edward Reid: I’m honored. It’s nice that even a
few years after I was as active as I was that I’m being recognized. I still practice, but I’m not on stage every night. I was in the Tucson Symphony for 23 years. For 21 of those, I was principal trumpet. Almost every night from September until May, I was on stage rehearsing or performing. I retired in January 2010, and I’ve been doing things ever since, but you’ll certainly never be as active as if you’re in the Tucson Symphony. And now, seven years later, someone thought to nominate me because I had been here for so long and I was a prominent musician in the group for two decades. It’s very nice, very sweet; a little embarrassing, but nonetheless it’s a very nice honor. I don’t know who nominated me, but whoever it was, I should thank them.
DW: What is your relationship with the Fox family? ER: The relationship with Fred [Fox] started when he
began to come to campus and teach master classes. He is one of the many teachers our horn professor, Daniel Katzen, had. When Daniel became a professor 10 years ago, he had Fred come in to teach. It was effective for many of our students, so he started coming back once a semester or once a year. That relationship started because he is a master teacher and loves teaching.
After a couple years, his son Alan noticed he was spending all this time in Tucson, and that’s when I struck up a friendship with him.
DW: What began your music career in Tucson? ER: I auditioned at some place … some state university
… in Temp, Arizona? Temperature? No, no, Tempe. There’s a very well-known trumpet teacher up there [at Arizona State University], David Hickman. After those two-and-a-half years limousine driving, I decided I needed to change things, I’ve done this long enough and I need to get back into music. So I called ASU, called a trumpet manufacturer and ordered a new trumpet for myself. I was fortunate enough to audition well, and he took me as a teaching assistant, so I moved out here in August of 1987. Upon walking into the school at ASU, I heard everyone practicing music that you would play for auditions. There was an audition at the Tucson Symphony, so I figured, “It’s free, I’ll drive down there and see what it’s like to audition.” And I ended up winning. Maybe because it was on a whim there was less pressure. I commuted between ASU and Tucson for two years. After that, I moved down, and I’ve been [in Tucson] since. In 1994 I started as a full-time trumpet professor for the [UA]. For the next 16 years, I did both jobs. One day in January of 2010, I said enough. It was too much. There was no way that I was going to be able to maintain the same level of playing without putting part of this job aside, and there was no way in the world I was going to put this job aside. The university became my love.
COURTESY EDWARD REID
FRED FOX SCHOOL OF Music Director Edward Reid poses with his trumpet. Reid will be one of the inductees honored by the Tucson Musicians Museum.
DW: What is one of the most memorable or notable moments in your music career? ER: That’s hard. There are a number of them. The fact
that I’ve gone around the world with music so many times is one, all the different cultures that I’ve been able to see because I’m a musician. I’ve traveled a lot more than I ever thought I would, and often with our students. We did two tours of China with our student Studio Jazz Ensemble, and that’s something I’m very proud of. It’s kind of a culmination of everything, which is the cool part of my life. I’ve done a lot of different things; it’s not just playing in an orchestra or just teaching.

ED FLORES/ARIZONA REPERTORY THEATRE
SHERRY (KELLY HAJEK), RIGHT, tries to get Joseph (Alec Coles), left, to say what he sees in the ink blot in Arizona Repertory Theatre’s comedy production of "Tigers Be Still."
Meet ‘Tigers Be Still’ star Kelly Hajek BY VICTOR HERRERA @DailyWildcat
The lead in the Arizona Repertory Theatre’s newest play, “Tigers Be Still,” is Kelly Hajek, a junior in the School of Theatre, Film and Television at the University of Arizona. Hajek’s career as an actor may have started out by accident. “For lack of a better word, it was definitely a fluke,” she said. Hajek spent the majority of her time in elementary and high school focusing on sports. For a time, theater wasn’t in her realm of interest — until she decided to give it a chance during her sophomore year of high school. “My acting teacher was putting on ‘Legally Blonde: The Musical’ … [and I decided] I’ll just do it,” Hajek said. “If I don’t get in, I don’t get in.” She auditioned and landed the show’s role as Brooke Wyndham. Hajek enjoyed the experience, and acting finally became a significant focus early in her senior year. After high school, Hajek went to Scottsdale Community College, where she decided to fully commit to a career in acting. “I was doing an acting theater major, and I got to do shows they had going on throughout the school year,” she said. While doing these shows, Hajek decided to move on from community college, and that’s when she made the move to UA. “I knew a few people in the [acting]
program, and I heard nothing but good things,” she said. Hajek’s family has all gone to Arizona State University, she even considers herself an ASU fan. But the decision to come to the UA was an easy one, even if she has to take the occasional trash talk from her uncles. “The program is so amazing here; I couldn’t pass up that opportunity,” Hajek said. Hajek is dead set on realizing her desire to become a professional actor. “This is my all or nothing. I can’t imagine myself doing something different, and I truly believe that if you can picture yourself doing something else you should just go ahead and do that,” she said. “Unless you’re 100-percent committed and focused on being in this industry, it’s not gonna KELLY HAJEK happen.” Hajek said she loves the Tucson community and acting program because of the support it provides her. “I just feel like it’s such a close-knit community that you’re constantly able to do things and you are always supported by the people around you,” she said. Hajek goes through a pre-show ritual much in the same way an athlete might before a big game. She said her preparation before a show is different from the preparation she did as an athlete. “I always walk the set before the show,”

LIFE AS AN OLDER STUDENT
With age comes far fewer all-nighters OPINION
BY SAMMY MINSK @DailyWildcat
I
t’s Monday morning and I’m sitting in an auditorium waiting for my Math 105 class to start. The girls in front of me are giggling and talking about the their past weekend, which was spent drinking at frat houses and getting so smashed they literally can’t even remember the rest of the night. I try to ignore them as I pull out a pencil and paper from my bag. At 8 a.m. the teacher begins her lecture only to be interrupted five minutes later by a girl who raises her hand and asks if she is allowed to use the bathroom. This is college, not elementary school. After the lecture, our teacher puts us in pairs to complete an in-class assignment. My partner is a boy whose feet rest on a skateboard with a pair of ear buds popping out of his shirt collar. We quickly complete our assignment and sit quietly before he lets out a long, “Soooo ... is this your first year here?” I say, “Nope, I’m a senior.” “A senior?” he asks with surprise. “But isn’t this class for freshman? How old are you?” I tell him I’m 25. Then he says, “Wow, so you’re like 6 years older than me. You look super young.” I get this response all the time. I’m fully aware I look like I just turned 16 and still ask for rides to the mall from my parents, but that is far from the truth. I don’t like to go down memory lane and say, “I remember when ...”, but so many of the conversations I hear around campus about eating Top Ramen five days a week and ordering fake IDs with roommates takes me back to my early years of college. When I started school in Seattle, the social scene was everything to me. I was all for

What to watch on television this fall BY KACIE LILLEJORD @DailyWildcat
Fall is the time of year when Tucson’s blistering heat begins to wane, the leaves change color elsewhere and new and returning shows grace our television screens once again. Starting this Monday, there will be many premieres showing up on screen, and the Daily Wildcat is here to describe some of America’s favorites so you don’t miss a beat. Of course, these aren’t all the shows in the fall season’s TV line-up, but they’re enough to get you started. In between study sessions, find the time to continue watching your favorite shows or discover new ones. Happy watching!
“GOTHAM”
Bruce Wayne’s hometown before it knew Batman. This crime drama offers its audience more backstory into the Batman storyline for characters such as James Gordon, Oswald Cobblepot and Selina Kyle. The show also features a young Bruce Wayne grieving the loss of his parents. Season four of “Gotham” premieres at 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21 on FOX.
“YOUNG SHELDON”
Chuck Lorre is introducing us to a younger version of the well-known Sheldon Cooper in this “Big Bang Theory” spin-off. We will see Sheldon in his childhood home of the Lone Star State, and we’ll no doubt be laughing our asses off, just as we do with the presentday Sheldon Cooper. “Young Sheldon” airs Monday, Sept. 25 on CBS.
“TRANSPARENT”
This Golden Globe award-winning series centers around a family that must learn to accept their father’s transition from male to a female. Featuring themes like family difficulties and Jewish tradition, this series’ fourth season is set to premiere on Friday, Sept. 22 on Amazon.
“LETHAL WEAPON”
The dynamic duo of Roger Murtaugh and Martin Riggs are back to raise some hell for season two of this smash-hit drama. Based on the “Lethal Weapon” film series, this show is set in the present day and has so far fulfilled our expectations and more with epic car chases, shootouts and Riggs’ crazy antics, much to Murtaugh’s chagrin. “Lethal Weapon” premieres at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 26, on FOX.
“THE GOOD DOCTOR”
One of fall’s up-and-coming shows, this drama is about an intelligent surgeon with autism. The show’s creator, David Shore, alongside Daniel Dae Kim of “Hawaii Five-O” and “Lost,” adapted this show from a South Korean series. “The Good Doctor” premieres at 10 p.m. Monday, Sept. 25 on ABC.
“THE GOLDBERGS”
This sitcom takes place in the 80s. The series focuses on the Goldberg family in Pennsylvania, told from the perspective of Adam, played by Sean Giambrone, who often tapes the family’s daily activities with his video camera. The show is loosely based on the show runner’s childhood and often features real video footage at each episode’s conclusion. The Goldbergs and all things neon will be back for a fifth season starting at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27 on ABC.
“ME, MYSELF & I”
Another newcomer to the fall lineup, this single-camera comedy will focus on a man in different periods of his life. We will see glimpses of the man in the present, future and past. See a life portrayed outside the boundaries of time beginning at 9:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 25 on CBS.
“BLUE BLOODS”
This police procedural revolves around a crime-fighting family, the Reagans, in modern-day New York City.

Utes come to Tucson with plenty of fire power No. 23 Utah will be the most formidable test yet for the young Wildcats, but budding optimism may give Arizona a much needed recipe for an upset BY NATHAN SKINNER @CaneDude08
Kyle Whittingham is the third-longest tenured coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision, for good reason. Whittingham has built a consistent winner in Salt Lake City. The Utah Utes have won a combined 27 games in the last three years, including nine games in 2016. The Utes have won nine or more games seven times in the last decade and are off to a hot start winning all three of their non-conference games this season. While the non-conference slate wasn’t exactly murderer’s row, Utah cruised past North Dakota, rival BYU and San Jose State. Throughout Whittingham’s tenure, the Utes have been a run-first offensive unit. Change is in the air as Utah has abandoned the run and embraced the pass. Quarterback Tyler Huntley has been efficient in the early going, completing 72.1% of his passes. Huntley shredded San Jose State in his last appearance, tossing four touchdowns in a 54-16 rout. The sophomore signal caller has built a strong rapport with receiver Darren Carrington. Carrington, a former Oregon Duck, is the Utes leading receiver. The senior from San Diego has been dominant in non-conference play, averaging 15.7 yards per catch. Carrington has recorded over 100 receiving yards in every game this year. With Carrington being a matchup problem, look for the Wildcats to bracket the explosive wideout. Rodriguez and the ‘Cats are extremely familiar with Carrington, UA coaches recruited the speedster when he was in high school. The rapid improvement of the Ute passing game has forced the formerly dominant rushing attack into the shadows. Tailback Zack Moss has averaged 4.4 yards per carry in limited action. Moss is a physical runner and is at his best in short yardage situations. Utah also utilizes the quarterback position in the run game as Huntley leads the team in rushing. Arizona head coach Richard Rodriguez noted in his weekly press conference that Huntley was “extremely athletic.” Ute offensive coordinator Troy Taylor takes advantage of Huntley’s athleticism by calling a variety of designed quarterback runs. The Wildcats will need to place a spy on the mobile Huntley. The Utes offensive front is inexperienced, with senior guard Salesi Uhatafe the lone returning starter. Despite that inexperience,

the line is as physical as ever. Rodriguez noted that this year’s Ute defense is more athletic than any of its predecessors. Its new-look defense features stars on all three levels. Defensive tackle Lowell Lotulelei has been a factor throughout his career. A two time All Pac-12 selection, Lotulelei is a load inside and thrives in run support, and can collapse a pass pocket. He will be double teamed on most downs, and like Houston’s Ed Oliver, Lotulelei will be accounted for before every snap. Filipo Mokofisi is another interior mauler recording
45 tackles last season. Defensive end Maxs Tupai drew attention during fall camp, his combination of strength and speed makes him a potent pass rusher. Linebacker Suni Tauteoli leads the Utes in tackles this season with eighteen. Tauteoli is versatile and is athletic enough to play pass coverage. Chase Hansen blossomed as a sophomore, racking up 90 tackles last year. Hansen was named 3rd team All Pac-12 after the season and is expected to be one of the conference’s finer safeties. Most punters are anonymous figures,
viewed as a necessary evil by teammates and fans. Mitch Wishnowsky is a unique weapon. His powerful leg and uncanny accuracy gives Utah an additional way to attack offenses. The 2016 Ray Guy Award winner, and 1st Team All-American is far and away the best kicking specialist in the Pac-12. Wishnowsky averaged 47.7 yards per punt last year, and pinned opponents inside of their twenty-yard line on 34 occasions. The Wildcats open the Pac-12 conference play against the No. 23 Utah Utes Friday, Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Arizona Stadium.

Consistency lost among ‘cats Arizona volleyball was inconsistent in non-conference matches and looks to change momentum going into Pac-12 play
BY SYRENA TRACY @syrena_tracy
The Arizona volleyball team heads up to Tempe for a battle against rival ASU in the first matchup of Pac-12 Conference play. The conference-opening match will also be the Territorial Cup Series opener. Arizona is coming into the conference with a 6-3 overall record after falling to Lipscomb, Radford and this past weekend to Illinois State. The Wildcats dominated in the opening day of the Wildcat Classic taking two matches, but were unable to keep the momentum going into the match against ISU. The ‘Cats lacked consistency and are trying to improve both offensively and defensively. “Improvements have been good,” said Arizona head coach Dave Rubio. “Now, whether or not it’s going to be good enough by Thursday, I don’t really look at it that way. Improvements need to come from a skill standpoint and also just the mentality standpoint too.” Arizona State will be entering the match with a six-win streak, falling only to Gonzaga and Portland State, giving the Sun Devils a 10-2 record. ASU’s success has been relying on the hands of seniors Oluoma Okaro and Halle Harker. The Arizona defense will need to show improvements from its last match if it wants to block ASU’s Okaro. The middle blocker leads the team with 198 kills along with 13 service aces. The senior reached her season high of 21 kills against Portland State and continues to dominate in almost all statistical categories. Arizona senior libero and defensive specialist Kimberly Gutierrez will focus on digging up some of Okaro’s kills during the match. Gutierrez leads the ‘Cats with 101 digs and nine service aces. The Wildcats are a young team in the making and are looking at consistency as their main key to a successful season.

UA OUTSIDE HITTER KENDRA Dahlke spikes the ball against ASU on Sept. 21, 2016. The Wildcats take on the Sun Devils in their first Pac-12 conference match this Thursday, Sept. 21.
Freshman outside hitter Paige Whipple has come onto the court with a striking arm posting 90 kills earning 105.5 points so far this season. On the other side of the net ASU’s libero, Halle Harker, comes to the match with 230 digs this season to lead the team. Arizona’s offense will need to find a way
to spike the ball past her if they hope to take home a win. Last year when the two rivals met at McKale Center the Wildcats the team posted career-highs as they defeated Arizona State in four sets, but it will all rely on the ‘Cats to come out in full swing. “ASU is a very athletic and we’ll need
to come focused and ready to play, Rubio said. “But as we saw last year, anything can happen in this rivalry. We just need to cut down our errors and play well.” The Wildcats and Sun Devils will go head-to-head on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. and will be aired on Pac-12 networks.

Smoot spikes a spot on the court for Arizona Freshman Katie Smoot steps up as a leader for Arizona volleyball and makes an impact early on in her college career BY SIMONE MCCARTHY @simonemccarthy0
As Arizona wraps up non-conference, Katie Smoot got an early taste of what college volleyball looks like. The outside hitter/opposite has made transitions on and off the court leading her to play in the Pac-12 conference. Smoot, from Belmont, California, a small town about 30 minutes away from San Francisco, has been playing volleyball since she was 11 years old after being recognized for her height. “I was playing basketball at the time then I just watched club volleyball and I was like, ‘I’m going to try it,’” Smoot said. Smoot attended Notre Dame High School, an all-girls private school. Her head coach Jen Agresti gave her words of advice that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Agresti’s words motivated Smoot through her journey as a volleyball player and has been her motto ever since. The transition from high school to college is never easy, especially for a college-athletes playing in the PAC-12 conference. Smoot is taking 12 units this semester and thinks the volleyball aspect is a lot harder than school, which came to her by surprise. “I think keeping up with the competition and always trying to do every single step right has been harder for me than I expected,” Smoot said, “and meeting the coach’s expectations.” Smoot wasn’t alone in her transition to becoming a Wildcat since teammate and roommate Candice Denny was also being recruited to Arizona. “It is fun dorming with her, we played club together since we were 15,” Smoot said. “I was really happy when she [Denny] committed to Arizona.” Arizona head coach Dave Rubio has stressed that he was looking for someone to step up and lead the team during nonconference play and Smoot believed she was able to do just that. In Smoot’s opinion, skill wise, the year in college doesn’t matter. “I think work ethic and how it goes at practice, freshman can step up and keep people accountable, which a lot of the times upperclassman don’t like,” Smoot said. “You can have a senior who is OK and then you can have a freshman come in and be the best player in the country. Experience is something that is important and I think seniors and older players do have an upper hand on

freshman and sophomores.” Smoot has had to change and adapt to Coach Rubio’s playing style, including changing up her passing. After passing in her club team for two years, Smoot had to adapt to the Wildcat’s defensive style making her arm swing quicker. Smoot has also had to change up her serving since coming to Arizona. Going from a float serve to a topspin, Rubio believes her new serving style will be more effective when she starts hitting harder. Playing on the court at McKale Center has been a new experience for Smoot as she is adjusting to her surroundings and the fans. Smoot is grateful to be able to play in the Pac-12 conference because it keeps her connected with home. “We get to play Stanford and Cal, which are really close to my family,”
Smoot said. “I knew the Pac-12 was one of the hardest conferences to play in so I wanted to challenge myself.” Smoot felt like Arizona’s coaches and players made her feel more at home than other schools recruiting her. Smoot looks up to outside hitters Kendra Dahlke and Tyler Spriggs and hopes to be able to play like them during her time as a Wildcat. “Being able to play all six rotations and have all those kills. I think they are really good players to look up to because of how hard they work in practice and games,” Smoot said. “Their effort is really impressive.” Smoot explained how Rubio and assistant coach Gregg Whitis continue to tell the team not to be so hard on themselves. “Our coaches are hard on us, but we are even harder on ourselves and that
sometimes messes with how we play mentally,” Smoot said. “I know I’m really hard on myself.” The 6-foot-2 freshman has played in 19 sets and nine non-conference matches so far as a Wildcat posting 26 kills, nine digs and three aces. Smoot knew Arizona had a strong lineup and was shocked when she was able to step onto the court as a freshman. “My back row defense, is what I have been working on a lot lately,” Smoot said, “and being more aggressive when I am playing because that’s what coach Rubio wants from me. When I am attacking he says I am very hesitant and I don’t commit to my line of attack.’ Hoping to continue to contribute throughout her time playing at Arizona, Smoot is ready to come into a game at any point.

ARIZONA HOCKEY
Gassen weighs in on IceCats future COLUMN
BY RACHEL HUSTON @mirachelonice
L
ast week, “Inside the Glass”, an hour program on KAMP student radio, had the honor of interviewing special guest Arizona Hockey Media Director, Tim Gassen. Gassen, known as “AZPuckMan,” has been following UA hockey for more than thirty years. He had plenty of insight on not only the dynamic of the team, but about the growth of hockey in Arizona as well. Last week Orion Olsen was named captain of the team, which was a move Gassen applauded immensely. “They picked the absolute best guy. Orion Olsen is a fine, fine hockey player,” Gassen said. “He’s a very mature athlete and student.” Olsen fits the role well as the team only has about half a roster of returning players, so his leadership will guide the team as it find its identity yet again. Gassen explained it’s normal for ACHA teams to have to reinvent themselves and their culture every season as new faces roll in. Tightening up the defense is also something the team needs to work on. Last season, the team lost games due to being too aggressive on the puck and letting the opposition slip by and get on odd-man rushes; the team’s size and strength were also a large factor. Gassen called last season’s team a “really, really large college hockey team” with most players over six-foot and weighing in over 210 lbs. This season, the team is considerably lighter and will hope to cool down their aggressive tactics. It’s not as if the team lacks staples on defense. Gassen’s dark-horse player for the season is sophomore Manny Rowe. There’s plenty to love about Rowe – especially his old-school hockey flow. “[Rowe] knows how to push the puck and has the defensive focus the coach wants,” Gassen said. The Phoenix native was nominated by his teammates last season as rookie of the year after tallying 15 points (9g, 6a). Gassen says Rowe will only get better and will be an all-star in this league.
BENJAMIN BAROCAS
UA HOCKEY BEGINS ITS season against Grand Canyon University on Friday, Sept. 9 at the Tucson Convention Center.
As defense solidifies this year, so oes goaltending. Before roster cuts, the team had, according to Gassen, three solid goaltenders — something NCAA Division I teams would be jealous of. After the cuts that came Monday, Sept. 18, two remain: Austin Wilson and Novan Bivolcic. Wilson will be a senior this year and likely become the starterdue to his experience. However, Gassen says to not doubt freshman Bivolcic because he’s got the skill to push Wilson and challenge him for the starting position. Any previous worries about goal tending should be gone. Overall, the roster is also seeing a rise in players from Arizona; a total of nine players on the roster are from Arizona, mainly the Phoenix valley. This is an obvious mark of the growth of a sport that is still believed to have no place outside of the Northeast United States and Canada. While it’s important to get recruits coming from out of state, it’s not necessarily a problem that, as Gassen said, really talented local kids are joining local
ACHA teams. Unfortunately, not all of them come to Tucson — some go to Phoenix to play for rival ASU. As of recent years, the Sun Devils have posted solid stats, which puts more pressure on Arizona to find its identity and chemistry fast so they can get the ‘W’ when ASU comes to town for the second game of the season. The ‘Cats main focus will be on ASU, which will be a guaranteed hurdle the Wildcats have to clear in order to get to the National Tournament this season. Last season the Wildcats managed to get under the skin of ASU in its final two games. Considering Arizona has changed its look and gone for smaller players, it will be interesting to see if the team can manage to still frustrate ASU on the ice. The success on the ice is important, but its economic success is equally as important. The sport is growing in Arizona with more and more rinks popping up — but not in Tucson. Aside from the Tucson Convention Center, there are no other sheets of ice in the
area. Furrthermore, since the Tucson Roadrunners came to town last year, the rink has to host two teams — so there’s not a lot of time to share. Gassen finds the two teams competing for ice time to be detrimental to the Wildcats. The Roadrunners schedule takes up prime time for games and leaves Arizona taking 2 p.m. games in the middle of the week to avoid conflicts. To avoid this, Gassen calls for two arenas, an idea that has been kicked around by the city of Tucson for a couple years now. Ideally, a smaller arena would be built and would be the new home of the Wildcat hockey team. But until then, the Wildcats will call the TCC home and will start their new season Friday, Sept. 29 against Grand Canyon University. And if you’re on the fence about going to a game or not, Tim Gassen had this to say: “Folks, kids, my fellow alumni, you need to come to UA hockey games — we need you.”

SENIOR GEORGE CUNNINGHAM PUTTS during the Wildcats’ season qualifier on Friday, Sept. 15.
Men’s golf swings into the season BY CORY KENNEDY @corykennedy_DW
In the past week, the University of Arizona men’s golf team participated in five qualifying rounds in order to earn a chance to play in New Mexico this Friday and Saturday. While all 14 players from the men’s team participated in the qualifier, only the top eight will be selected by Arizona head coach Jim Anderson to advance to play in New Mexico. Of those eight players, three will submit their individual scores and the remaining five will count as an overall combined team score during the tournament. The qualifier featured rounds at Gallery South AZ National at Dove Mountain and the final two rounds took place at Arizona’s home course Sewailo Golf Club. UA freshman and Tucson native Trevor Werbylo finished 16 under par over the course of the 5 rounds putting him at the top of the leader board among his teammates. Werbylo finished with a combined total score of 341 over the course of 90 holes. At the AZ National course, Werbylo shot an impressive 61 for the day. Junior Dylan Stein finished in second place among teammates with a total score of 345, putting him at 12 under par over the course of the qualifier.
Senior George Cunningham placed third with a total score of 351 and 6 under par for 90 holes. With Cunningham being one of four seniors on the team this year, coach Anderson looks for him to be a leader this year both on and off the course. “I think several guys will lead our team in different ways this year. George Cunningham brings the most experience and he is as capable of a player as any in college golf,” Anderson said. “We have newer faces to our program who have demonstrated skills on the course and in the team environment which gives us much optimism for the year.” Looking ahead, the ‘Cats will play in their first tournament of the season at the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The tournament will take place this Friday, Sept. 22 and Saturday, Sept. 23. “We will need to be ready to adjust to the speed on the course because the greens in Albuquerque will be rolling very fast,” Anderson said. “Also, the grass types are slightly different, so chipping in the heavy rough around greens is something we will emphasize when we get on site.” Following this weekend, the ‘Cats will head to Portland, Oregon from Oct. 1-3 to compete in the NCI Invitational.
