Regents approve new honors complex In a decision with wide-ranging implications, the state’s governing Board allows the UA to break ground BY SASHA HARTZELL @DailyWildcat
The Arizona Board of Regents met for the second day at Northern Arizona University, voting on numerous projects and contracts including the proposed University of Arizona Honors Complex on Sept. 28. The proposed honors complex required three separate board measures by the regents: 1) A measure allowing the UA to execute a ground lease with American Campus Communities for the construction of a new Honors College that will include housing, parking, dining and a recreational and health center. The measure was considered essential, since transfer of land to the university allows the complex to bypass any City of Tucson zoning regulations it would be subject to under private ownership. 2) Authority for the UA to issue bonds to finance the non-housing spaces of the project. While the actual living quarters of the complex will be constructed by ACC, “the UA is responsible for maintaining the academic administrative and dining spaces,” according to ABOR’s executive summary. 3) Approval for the UA to acquire a portion of Fremont Street from the City of Tucson.
This measure allows the UA to implement its plan for turning the street into a thoroughfare between the living quarters and the academic/dining area. This project is believed to be highly important to the university’s future. In a July interview, Honors College dean Terry Hunt said that the new complex would “give the college identity; it gives it a sense of place and it brings students, faculty and staff together in terms of proximity.“ The board also approved the Fiscal Year 2019 State Budget Request. The total amount being requested for 2019 is $77 million. The budget focuses on the 50 percent Resident Student Funding Model, in which half of resident student’s funding will be covered. To achieve this goal, the UA, NAU, and Arizona State University collectively require $252 million. The proposed budget will introduce this sum over the course of four years while taking into account the continued increase of student enrollment. This budget request is described by Michael Crow, president of ASU, as a whole new budget model. He says the universities have realized the need for a new financial agenda and structure. “There is no present budget model for the state of Arizona to invest in the universities; there’s only ad-hoc, individual,

year by year decisions” The night began with board President Eileen Klein giving a report highlighting some recent developments between the three state universities. In a collaborative pilot program between the UA, NAU and ASU, the Arizona Teacher’s Academy is now public, with students enrolled. Launched on Sept. 26 and designed to financially assist aspiring teachers, the program’s aim is to create more quality educators in Arizona. As Klein explained to the board, “The idea is that whoever wants to be a teacher, wherever they are in the course of educational experience, will have an opportunity to commit himself or herself to teaching. We’ll find the economic means to help them.”

Klein said she is committed toward lowering tuition for all students and promoting greater tuition transparency. On a federal level, Klein said she expects changes in how higher education is overseen. “We are at a point in time where we expect that the federal government is going to step back in some ways from its oversight roles, and in many ways we welcome that.” Campus free speech is currently an issue universities around the country are grappling with. Klein believes it is an important topic to continue engaging. “We need to continuously assert that we are not like the other places that we are reading about constantly in the media, that we in fact very much support, uphold and advance free speech on our campuses.”

The University of Arizona Police Department released its 2017 Clery Report on Sept. 25. The report details information on criminal offenses on campus and on university-affiliated properties. The report compares crimes rate from 2016 to crime rates from 2015 and 2014. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act or Clery Act, which passed congress in 1990, requires all public universities monitor and report information on crimes committed on and near their campuses. Crimes are further broken down, categorizing which incidents took place on campus, off campus and in residential facilities. Certain types of crimes, specifically violent crimes against women, are tracked as part of the Violence Against Women Act. Reports of rape increased at the UA during the last year. Twenty-four incidents were reported in 2016, up from 18 incidents in 2015 but down from 28 reports in 2014. “We hope that people are reporting these crimes much more often,” Brian Seastone, UAPD chief, said in regards to the increased number of sexual assault reports. “We want them to report it so we know that a crime occurred, and most of all so that they can get the support that they need.” Both Seastone and Dean of Students Kendal Washington White stressed the university’s commitment to helping sexual assault survivors feel safe, largely through the sexual assault and trauma services provided at Oasis Center on campus. Perpetrators of sexual assault at the UA are rarely held accountable for their actions. “It’s very few,” said Seastone, in regards to the number of perpetrators who are punished, or even identified. “Many times, the victim won’t even give us the name of the individual that they were involved with.” Other sex-related crimes also saw an increase. Fondling increased to six reports, up from two reports in 2015. And dating violence increased to 10 reports, up from four reports in 2015. Reports of aggravated

UA alumna Christiana Duarte killed in Vegas shooting Duarte’s family confirmed her death early Tuesday, Oct. 3 BY TORI TOM @DailyWildcat
The death of University of Arizona alumna Christiana “Chrissy” Duarte was confirmed Tuesday, Oct. 3, by family after she was reported missing Monday, October 2. Duarte, who graduated from UA’s Eller School of Business last spring,
was a member of the Arizona chapter of Sigma Kappa sorority. The 22-year-old California native was among the 22,000 attendees at the Route 91 Harvest Festival along the Las Vegas Strip when a gunman began firing into the crowd during the Jason Aldean portion of the concert. The gunman shot down onto the festival crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, killing at least 59 people and injuring mort than 500, according to the Associated Press. “All of us in the University of Arizona community are saddened that Christiana Duarte, one of our
graduates this past May, is among the victims from Las Vegas on Sunday night,” President Dr. Robert Robbins wrote in an statement. “The attack is a terrible tragedy for hundreds of families, and it is a shocking and horrific event for all of us. I know I speak for the UA community in expressing our deepest condolences for Christiana’s family…” Duarte was a marketing and operations intern for Arizona’s Wildcat Hockey team. She had just began her first full-time job as a fan service associate for the Los Angeles Kings, The LA Times reported.

Women writing the west officers slots to students BY TORI TOM @DailyWildcat
As part of an outreach to engender diversity and encourage students interested in writing, Women Writing the West, an organization of writers and other professionals, is extending discounted rates to a limited number of University of Arizona and Pima College students interested in attending their 23rd annual conference on Saturday, Oct. 28. WWW promotes writing about the West with the emphasis on the experiences of western females, according to its website. The organization is not gender-exclusive; all are welcome to join this writing conference and community. Carolyn Niethammer, co-chair for the 2017 WWW Conference and local author, said the group created the special student rate because they “want to encourage and share their expertise with young writers.” “Because we’re inclusive, we want to bring up young writers, help them learn things that they might not get in creative writing classes and begin making connections with them,” Niethammer said. The conference team planned 15 different programs of speakers and panelists to teach and inspire participants. Attendees can choose from three event lineups each hour. Members of WWW are published or aspiring to be published in non-fiction, all genres of fiction and scholarly books. Membership
is not required to attend the conference. There is an opportunity for those with completed manuscripts to submit them for critique from professional agents and editors during a 10-minute, one-on-one pitch session. Names of the agents and editors can be found on the website. Aspiring student writers can also attend a luncheon with keynote speaker Maribel Alvarez, a UA anthropologist, folklorist and executive program director of Tucson Meet Yourself. Alvarez will discuss how weaving food into writing can add depth and authenticity to stories. “This year, it is packed with informative, fascinating and entertaining sessions that will appeal to writers of all genres, and the setting is a perfect place to explore new avenues of writing, meet old friends, connect with an agent or editor or just relax and enjoy the amenities of a five-star resort,” conference co-chair Jan Cleere said in a written statement. Participants will meet at Loew’s Ventana Canyon Resort, located in the Catalina Foothills, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admittance for UA students is $50, while non-students must pay $165. Those who want to attend the optional luncheon at noon need to purchase separate tickets for $37. There are no refunds for purchases after Sept. 30. Registration is a first-come, first-serve basis; the WWW Conference is only accepting 20 students. Those who are interested in participating can RSVP by visiting womenwritingthewest.org and clicking the “register for current

As Reid Park Zoo celebrates its 50th anniversary, Tucson voters will have the opportunity to shape its future, thanks to two citizen initiatives on the Nov. 7 ballot sponsored by the non-profit Reid Park Zoological Society. In Proposition 202, voters can authorize the zoo to raise the non-food-related sales tax 0.1 percent for 10 years and create a dedicated zoo fund. The other proposal, Proposition 203, would amend the city code to implement the tax. “First and foremost, this sales tax will go toward the animals to give them better habitats, for example a larger exhibit for our tiger, and to bring more endangered species here to Tucson,” said Nancy Kluge, president of the Reid Park Zoological Society.. The expected 8 to 10 million dollars of additional revenue per year will be used to repair aging infrastructure, implement the zoo’s Vision 2028 plan and maintain accreditation. The zoo and zoological society currently operate with a combined budget of $5 million coming from private and public sources. Yet, without the guarantee of new public funds, Kluge said the zoo’s ambitious vision cannot be implemented. With the goal of developing an immersive reallife experience, the Vision 2028 plan incorporates a Discovery Trail to teach children about conservation, as well as a new Africa Lodge where visitors can view hippos underwater. The plan involves adding to the existing 300 plus species at the zoo and focusing expansion and construction on enhancing the zoo’s conservation and education missions, according to Kluge. The zoo will seek to expand its footprint north and integrate educational programs, videos and activities throughout the park through the use of technology and new infrastructure. “The sales tax will also ensure that the zoo remains affordable for our local kids and families,” Kluge said.
The new funding will help provide free field trips to K-12 schools and keep admission costs low for the zoo’s 5 million yearly visitors, Kluge said. According to Ward 6 City Councilman Steve Kozachik, investing in the zoo also comes with an economic incentive in the form of tourism dollars and job creation. The initiatives face one challenge: Voters already approved a sales tax increase in May to fund road and emergency response infrastructure. Local businessman Tom Tronsdal, who ran in the Democratic City Council Ward 3 primary on a platform of growing the separation between the city and local businesses, told KVOI radio host Bill Buckmaster the tax was not the right policy for Tucson. Some opponents argue the sales tax has already increased enough in recent years. According to Kozachik, though, “The primary challenge will be voter confusion.” This stems from the fact that both propositions need to be passed in order to implement the tax. Internal polling from the Reid Park Zoological Society indicates strong support for the tax, and Kozachik believes their outreach and general community support will overcome these challenges. The University of Arizona and its students also have an opportunity to benefit. “I think the passage of the sales tax would provide increased opportunities for collaboration between the zoo and the UA,” said John Koprowski, professor in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment and associate director of Wildlife Conservation and Management. The UA has a long history of collaborating and building relationships with the zoo. For example, Shane Burgess, dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, currently serves on the board of directors for its zoological society. Most recently, the UA started offering a new undergraduate certificate in zoo and aquarium

Roughhousing A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Arbol de la Vida Residence Hall around 3 p.m. on Sept. 9 in reference to a man and woman roughhousing four nights prior. According to the resident assistant, the two students involved were roughhousing and having fun when the man accidentally hit the woman in the chest. The man informed police that on the night of the incident, he was walking from his room to the showers wearing nothing but a towel. The woman began chasing him, trying to grab his towel. He ran into the bathroom and the woman followed him in. When she attempted to grab his towel once more, the man stuck his arm out and unintentionally struck the woman in her sternum. The man told police none of the parties involved were in a relationship and he did not want to press charges since he and the woman were close enough friends where this would not be unusual. The woman corroborated the man’s story and also stated she did not want to press charges. Both parties were advised this behavior was not acceptable and the resident assistant would watch for any further issues. Finsta Feud A UAPD officer was called to Coronado Residence Hall Sunday, Sept. 24, to investigate a potential incident of threats The officer met with the student who called in the incidents. According to the police report, the reporting student was looking for a friend when she got into an exchange with a second student. The second student said she found the reporting student obnoxious. The reporting student called the second student a “bitch,” and then left. Twenty minutes later, the second student was knocking on a door down the hall. The reporting student heard this and, thinking it was the friend she was looking for earlier, jumped into the hallway and yelled, “What’s up bitch?” as a greeting. When she realized it was the second student, she quickly returned to her room. The reporting student refused to apologize and instead took to a private, “finsta” Instagram account She described the altercation there, claiming that the second student tried to punch her. She later clarified in a subsequent post that she did not see the second student try to punch her during the argument. Later that day, the reporting student told police she received text messages from a friend of the second student expressing his dismay at the reporting student’s posts. No direct threats were made in the messages. The reporting student told officers she never felt physically threatened by the others. The officer informed her that he would not be making any arrests. The officer told all three students to be more respectful in the ways they interact with each other, as their behavior could have easily escalated to a criminal nature.
COMMENTARY
Campus architecture enshrines learning setting OPINION
BY ERIC ROSHAK @DailyWildcat
W
ith a campus and institution bathed in tradition, the University of Arizona boasts an array of historic and progressive campus designs that contribute to the UA experience and celebrate its growth. On the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, the battleship USS Arizona was bombarded with artillery that ignited the ammunition magazines and ripped the ship apart, sinking it within minutes. The USS Arizona still lies in shallow water where it hit the harbor bed 76 years ago. Of the 1,177 sailors and marines killed on the ship, 1,102 sunk with its remains. The ship is a source of pride for the state, and the UA has the honor and privilege of retaining its legacy. Memorials dot the landscape and line the halls of the historic campus. An exact outline of the USS Arizona is inscribed on the UA Mall and provides an imposing testament to the scale of the warship. The mast bell, salvaged from the wreck, sounds daily from the Student Union Memorial Center, also structurally inspired by the USS Arizona. The university, quite literally, rings with the memory of the ship and its crew. The responsibility of the UA to care for collective history does not end with the USS Arizona. There is a unique relationship between the state and its first university, which bears its name. The UA campus is truly a desert gem on various fronts, with benefits that run deeper than just pleasant appearance. When certain qualities of good architecture and landscape design intersect with tradition and purpose, it enhances the academic quality of many institutions. Museums, public parks, houses of government, religious sites, research environments and universities share a critical common denominator: utilizing design and structure to instill purpose.

Gothic cathedrals used unforgiving and exquisite details in their structures to express the authority of state and church. Washington D.C.’s neoclassical symmetry expresses ideas of public self-governance, classical liberalism and rule of law. Thus, universities are no exception to ideological forms. The UA is home to a canon of monumental constructions that satisfy structural formality and psychological effectiveness. It is a known concept that different styles of architecture produce alternate cognitive responses through creativity, focus, memory and more. WIRED Magazine documented this phenomenon in an article titled, “The Psychology of Architecture.” Several studies conducted by the University of British Columbia and the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management determined that factors like color, furniture type, interior and exterior designs and placement accentuate certain academic qualities like ingenuity and concentration. A few examples of campus constructions that show the university’s pleasant design, both time-honored and contemporary, include Cochise Hall, the Arizona State Museum, the Environment and Natural Resources 2 Building and the several USS Arizona memorials. Cochise Hall, built in 1921, dons Corinthian columns, classically inspired stone edifices and high interior ceilings. The use of classic greek orders is a theme replicated across campus. These designs inspire free thought, reason and contemplation. The Arizona State Museum, an example of traditional redbrick construction on campus, was founded in 1893 and remains the oldest and largest collection of anthropological artifacts in the American Southwest. Upon arrival, one is confronted by a series of massive, arched windows flanked by columned wings that provide a sense of completion. The building is reminiscent of classic Roman balance; yet, its arched redbrick and simple design add a more modern architectural accent. The museum

facade evokes importance and cultural value. However, not every building on campus is conservative in form. ENR2, which was completed in the summer of 2015, is one of UA’s most recent additions. At its core, ENR2 boasts a soaring atrium, open to the sky and modeled after a desert slot canyon. The innovative building is a nod to the topography of the region and to the university’s research capabilities. The UA solidifies its reputation as a renowned institution of higher learning, statewide and beyond, by engaging in necessary academic endeavors, pertinent research and a general commitment to civic promotion. A fitting representation of institutional excellence displayed here is the accompanying campus aesthetic that looks to its past while ushering in its future. — Eric Roshak is a sophomore majoring in Political Science and Lae.

Students will be able to study surgery from observation rooms and participate in the hands-on treatment of exotic animals. “The UA and the zoo are both community-minded and share a similar educational mission, as well as a commitment to research and
conservation,” Koprowski said. According to Koprowski, the passage of the tax will only increase the opportunities to further these complementary missions. “In my mind, this tax is a winwin,” Koprowski said. To vote in Tucson’s Nov. 7 election, voters must be living in Tucson and registered to vote 29 days in advance.

What’s a UTI and how do you get rid of one? A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in the bladder, urethra, ureters, or kidneys (the urinary system). Most UTIs usually involve either the bladder or urethra and are treated with antibiotics. UTIs can affect both women and men but women get them more often. Sexually active women are at higher risk because the friction during sex can cause irritation to the urethra and can also allow for infectioncausing germs to enter the urethra. Symptoms vary from person to person, and common symptoms can include burning and/or pain when urinating, pelvic pain (in women), feeling like you always have to urinate, and blood in urine. It is important to note that these symptoms are similar to chlamydia and gonorrhea. If you have these symptoms, make an appointment with a health professional to get checked out.
• Change sex positions and/or add water-based lube during sex (to decrease friction) • Urinate before and after intercourse • Wash your hands prior to sexual contact • Wipe from front to back after using the bathroom and use unscented feminine products (for women) You may have heard cranberries prevent UTIs. While cranberries do contain an active ingredient that can prevent bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall, most studies have shown that cranberries do not have enough of this ingredient to prevent the bacteria from sticking. Anecdotally, cranberry products (juice, pills, etc.) have been a helpful home remedy for UTIs, but the clinical studies of cranberry products for the prevention of UTIs is conflicting.
While avoiding UTIs is not always possible, there are some things that can help to reduce the risk:
The takeaway for treating a UTI: cranberries may (or may not) help. Seeing a medical provider and taking prescribed antibiotics, on the other hand, will.

UA engineers bring water to the desert BY VICTOR GARCIA @VicGarcia96
The Navajo Nation resides within a very dry region. It gets less than 12 inches of rain a year and the ground water is deep and salty, in addition to containing harmful chemicals like uranium. That’s where University of Arizona engineers, along with other organizations, have applied their expertise. UA engineers, Apex Applied Technologies and the Service To All Relations (or STAR) School have implemented an innovative way to deal with the problem in a less expensive way. The solution comes in the form of a solar-powered school bus. According to STAR School CEO Dr. Mark Sorensen, the inspiration to use desalination techniques came to them during the Standing Rock protests of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Protesters realized they had fresh water on-site and could drink it by evaporating the water first. “We worked with the Bureau of Reclamation and AATech in order to get funding and development into this project,” Sorensen said. “This is a time of great need for the people in the Navajo Nation, this is a matter of healthcare.” According to Sorensen, this implementation of engineering and science on the reservation helps the community and sparks people’s interest in science, especially the STAR School students who can apply the science in their daily lives. “Our school’s motto at STAR School is in its initials which stands for ‘Service to All Relations,’” Sorensen said. UA engineers use nano-filtration technology to make the ground water drinkable for the Navajo people. “We started working for the Bureau of Reclamation on water purification,” said Bob Arnold, professor for the UA’s Chemical and Environmental Engineering department.
“The technology we are trying to apply is called membrane distillation, [to] actually evaporate water across a membrane.” The process, known as distillation, removes unwanted minerals to create fresh and drinkable water. UA environmental engineers use the technique to separate salt and uranium from the water. “It takes a lot of energy to evaporate water, that’s predictable since the evaporation of water is very high,” Arnold said. “We did complete it and produced water by membrane distillation, but it is too expensive to produce energy.” Once the process of making the water drinkable was determined, the next step was to find a way to power the systems. One alternative that engineers turned to was solar energy. “They have a lot of sun hours, it is a very privileged region in solar energy,” said Rodolfo Peon, Arid Lands Resource PhD student. “They can also grow their crops using greenhouses, they can use clean water for the livestock.” According to Peon, using a solar powered energy source is an efficient and affordable way to power the bus’s distillation system. Peon helped with the solar portion of the project, and advised on how big the solar panels could be and how they should be placed to acquire the most energy. “This really can change the quality of life for the people living there,” Peon said. “The water people have there is not reliable; by using solar water desalination they can have fresh water.” A desalination bus is not the first idea the Navajo Nation and other aide organizations have had throughout the years. According to Sorensen, the desalination bus is still under ‘prototype’ status and is not fully operational. It still must be taken to the community to provide an opportunity to learn its use and gauge their response. “The project has been going on for quite a number of

years; they’ve been gaining the expertise of getting the nano-filtration systems going and operating them,” said Christopher Yazzie, Master student in Environmental Engineering. Yazzie grew up on the Navajo reservation, around Tuba City. “Since I was a kid I have known about the abandoned uranium mines, contaminated aquifers and also the shortage of water and electrical infrastructure there,” Yazzie said. “I can totally see myself working at the reservation with one of the utility companies; this way I can apply the knowledge I’ve gained as a master student to the Navajo Nation and provide helpful resources to them.”

Spoofing calls more than annoyance OPINION
BY SAMMY MINSK @DailyWildcat
W
e’ve all been trained to disregard 800 numbers, but now scammers are outsmarting us. The xylophone ringtone that all iPhone users have goes off during a lecture. It sounds far away, until I realize it’s my stupid phone going off, buried somewhere deep in my backpack. I frantically take out Tupperware, binders and folders, keys, shoes and everything else until I reach my phone to silence it. This better be important. The caller ID is a number similar to my own, like the first six digits similar. I’ve learned through trial and error that numbers almost identical
to my own are telemarketers or scammers telling me for the third time that I’ve won a trip to the Bahamas. This is called “spoofing,” where a caller deliberately falsifies the information transmitted to your caller ID display to disguise their identity, as stated by the Federal Communications Commission. Now we are dealing with a whole new kind of trickery: neighbor spoofing. Using a software called Voice over Internet Protocol, telemarketers and scammers can mimic a person’s area code and the first three digits of their phone number. A survey from Software Advice found that people are four times more likely to answer a local number than an out-of-state or tollfree number. “Every one of those I have answered,” said Jasmine Castro, a junior majoring in law. She scrolled down her blocked call list to show her friends all the spoofed phone
calls she’s received. Regardless of her efforts, she continues to receive them. “Sometimes I think it’s from work or someone I know, so I don’t want to miss it.” The reason people are doing neighbor spoofing is obvious: to get people’s personal information. But is it illegal to do this? Yes and no. The Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009 states that spoofing is illegal if the person is calling with the intent to defraud, cause harm or wrongly obtain anything of value. Other than that, “non-harmful spoofing,” as courts call it, is legal. An example of non-harmful spoofing is when your Uber driver calls you. A one-time-use phone number is generated to replace the driver’s own number to ensure privacy between customers and drivers. To give you an idea of how bad these annoying prerecorded phone calls are, in August alone,
2.9 billion spoofed calls were placed nationwide, according to YouMail, visual voicemail and Robocall blocking software. This is a huge leap from the 3.5 million calls in 2015. This topic has become the Federal Communications Commission’s top complaint, and there are no signs of it stopping. Even if you added your number to the outdated 14-year-old National Do Not Call Registry, you are still prone to receiving these calls. I’ve learned to trust that if someone wants to reach me, they’ll leave a message. I don’t try and call the number back, either. This is highly recommended because, when you engage in the phone calls, it tells the software that your number works and may be passed on to other databases, according to AARP. Even though I don’t answer, I still receive them from time to time. There are useful apps that screen
calls before they reach your phone, such as Hiya and Truecaller, which may help block numbers. It’s important to be aware of who has your phone number. When signing up for services, contests or buying clothes from sketchy websites, AARP suggests that you not give out your phone number unless required, in person or online. As robocalls continually make billions of unsolicited calls, mobile carriers will hopefully start to catch on and implement better call screening into their plans. For example, AT&T offers an extra charge for their Call Protect app. Until then, I’ll be silencing my phone. — Sammy Minsk is a senior who once wrote her phone number on 37 dollar-bills. Apart from telemarketers contacting her, she occasionally receives high school kids calling for a good time

‘Brother’ Dean Returns, met with protests Dean Saxton returned just days after his year long ban ended, which he received for assaulting a female student in Fall 2016 BY ROCKY BAIER @RaquelBaier
“Brother” Dean Saxton returned to campus on Thursday, Sept. 28 to continue preaching to crowds of hundreds of students, his year-long ban from campus over. Saxton’s return marks a year and one week after he kicked Mackenzie Brandt, a criminal justice studies sophomore. Saxton was subsequently charged with assault and banned from campus for a year. With the ban lifted, Saxton returned, preaching about how Muslims are terrorists, homosexuality is a sin, and if students wear yoga pants they “deserve rape”. Students had mixed reactions to his return, ranging from speaking up to literally spitting in his face. Kayla Jones, a global studies sophomore, jumped up next to Saxton to hold up a sign that said “Textbooks are Expensive,” with a dollar in her hand. Students laughed and some even gave her money. “I feel like something simple like this, where it’s not attacking his views or directly aimed at him, is a controlled version of protest that could alleviate the situation or at least not make it worse,” Jones said. “If he wants to complain about what he thinks is wrong, I would also like to compare what I think is wrong, which are his views, and my views on textbooks.” Astronomy freshman Bailey Watts also stood on the steps beside Saxton to try to encourage the crowd not to listen to him, reasoning that by giving Saxton attention, students were giving him a platform to speak. “I’m not usually vocal about a lot of things, if you saw me up there I was trembling in my legs because I hate public speech but I felt like I had a right to stand
up there and tell people, ‘Hey, there’s another way to not feed him into what he wants, and he wants the crowd to hate him so he has a chance to say what he needs to say,’” Watts said. “If you don’t give him that chance he doesn’t need to be here. However, some students had a very negative reaction to Saxton, including film junior Daniela Sanchez. When she engaged Saxton, he told her to “Go back to Mexico” if she didn’t like free speech. “I’m very frustrated because this is not the Christian dynamic whatsoever,” Sanchez said. “I spread love and peace and all that, and that’s what God has always done. He’s (God) never passed judgement at all, and if he (Saxton) read the Bible he would know that.” Multiple people didn’t think Saxton actually believed in what he was preaching, noting he couldn’t quote Bible verses back to the crowd when asked. NeuAroscience freshman Alexandra Johnson asked him to quote Matthew 7:12, the source of the Golden Rule, which Saxton seemed unwilling, or unable, to do. “He’s obviously not a real Christian, he’s a YouTuber, I’ve seen his content before, so he’s just here to antagonize people,” Brandon Lewis, neuroscience junior, said. “The best thing to do is to realize he’s not a real person, he’s an actor at most, and that we’re an educated group that knows what to do in allowing him to speak in a peaceful manner.” Saxton declared many people were going to the “Lake of Fire”, such as prebusiness freshman Jenna Hansen, whom he called a whore. The entire crowd chanted Saxton’s term for hell whenever he said it. Tensions in the crowd continued to rise until a community member, Kevin Shay, stepped up to where Saxton was. “I checked with a few sources and I

assault decreased to seven in 2016, as opposed to 11 in 2015. Last year saw no reports of arson, a decrease from two reports in 2015. Burglary also saw an increase in reporting. Incidents of burglary in 2016 totaled 44, up from 33 reports in 2016. Seastone cited tough economic times as a possible reason for the increase in burglaries. Robbery, in which the victim is actively involved in the theft, decreased to three from four reports in 2015.

found out that spitting in his face once isn’t going to do any harm, so I spit in his fucking face,” Shay said. Saxton, who carried a camera and minitri-pod as he spoke, recorded everything and hinted that another Vice Media documentary about him was in the works. Megan Dulaney, a junior majoring in literacy, learning, and leadership, said liked the campus environment better when he wasn’t here. “[Students could] walk freely to class,” Dulaney said. “Without [the hate preachers] a lot of people felt more comfortable being here.” Brandt is disappointed to see Saxton back on campus.
Hate crimes saw a significant increase. In 2015, one hate crime was reported at the UA. In 2016, four occurrences were reported. Two resulted in criminal damage, and no suspect was identified in either case. Another was a physical assault, in which the victim did not prosecute. One was a second-hand report. Seastone considers the increase in hate crimes a reflection of changes that occurred in the country during the past year. Reports of stalking decreased dramatically down to two reports in 2016, as opposed to 13 reports in 2015. Disciplinary actions for liquor law violations rose to 763 from 457 in 2015. Drug law arrests dropped to 119 reported cases from
“I don’t think anyone truly understands the feeling of having to walk by a man who physically kicked them in the chest everyday while they are on their way to class,” Brandt said. “Brother Dean is a disruption to the education here on campus and it’s sad and disappointing to know he is allowed back to continue to constantly spread his hateful views. I know I’m not alone when I say I am very upset, angry and scared that this man is back on campus and I hope that he doesn’t assault anyone else on campus like he did to me.” When asked what he had been up to for the last year, Saxton simply replied, “[I’ve] just been around.”
125. Drug law violations dropped to 123 from 130. “We know that in this population, people are gonna make mistakes,” Seastone said. “However, the university offers opportunities for students to avoid having their lives permanently altered by small infractions.” The UA’s Diversion Program allows students to have certain misdemeanors dismissed after completion of the program. “Our goal is to educate our students,” Washington White said. “I know that oftentimes people want us to punish and kick students out of school, but that’s not what we want to do because we are an institute of higher education — not just in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom.”

OCOTILLO LEAVES CHANGE FROM bright green to a golden yellow color during fall in Tucson in October 2014.
Autumn arrives in Tucson: What changes? BY CHANDLER DONALD @Chandlerjdonald
While fall may seem almost mythical in the desert, to those with a trained eye, the months of September, October and November bring about a big change in the Tucson valley. “Fall in the desert is barely detectable to newcomers, but the longer you stay, the more clearly you recognize the signs,” said Tanya Quist, University of Arizona associate professor of practice in the School of Plant Sciences. Why? Just as we begin to better recognize the changes with time, so have the plants that have lived here far longer than any human Tucsonan, Quist said. The biggest changes for anyone, or anything, living here are the length of the days and the fluctuations in temperature, according to Charles Weidman, UA professor of hydrology and atmospheric sciences. “The hottest time of the year occurs in late June, probably just before the arrival of moisture and the start of the summer thunderstorm season,” Weidman said. “High temperatures drop slowly from then until late September, when they start to fall off more quickly.” Quist said temperature changes affect plant development, as well. “Deciduous plants like the Arizona

The autumnal equinox marks
the day when the northern and southern hemispheres are equidistant from the sun. Wiedman said this has a very interesting effect on our street systems. “I like checking out the sunrise and sunset on the fall equinox,” Wiedman said. “And seeing the sun right at the end of east–west oriented streets.” While this phenomenon can be seen to a lesser degree in the days prior to and following an equinox, the sun will only line up perfectly on Sept. 22 and March 20. The equinox and general temperature trends are the same each year, but specific weather patterns vary, according to Weidman. “It looks like the next three months are likely to be warmer than normal,” Weidman said. The National Weather Service predicts an over 50 percent chance that Southern Arizona will experience warmer-thanaverage temperatures this fall. Historically, the beginning of fall in late September averages between the high 60s and mid 90s, according to Accuweather, while the average day in November ranges from 40 to 80 degrees. Whether you’re new to the area or a long-time Tucsonan, fall in the Sonoran Desert is a pleasant season, and it’s important to take time to recognize and appreciate the sometimes subtle joys that this time of year brings.

International deal keeps the Colorado flowing BY CHANDLER DONALD @Chandlerjdonald
Legislators from the U.S. and Mexican governments signed an agreement last week renewing commitments to share the use of and responsibilities for the Colorado River, as well as dedicating support to conservation efforts at the river’s delta. Extension of Cooperative Measures and Adoption of a Binational Water Scarcity Contingency Plan in the Colorado River Basin is the official name of the international watersharing deal signed Wednesday, Sept. 27. Minute 323, as it’s informally dubbed, is an extension of the Minute 319 deal from 2012. These agreements commit the U.S. and Mexico to facing water scarcity issues on the Colorado River together through 2026. In addition, they allow for the restoration of the Colorado River Delta that empties into Mexico’s Gulf of California. “Minute 323 is an enormous step forward for the United States and Mexico in creating reliability in the water supply for all Colorado River water users,” said Jennifer Pitt, Colorado River Project director for the National Audubon Society and key negotiator for Minute 323. The University of Arizona and the Sonoran Institute are key partners in the restoration effort, according to Pitt. “Through negotiations, there was a strong interest from all parties in extending the kind of work that was accomplished under Minute 319,” Pitt said. This differs from the political climate Pitt experienced when negotiations began in 2007. “At that time, the U.S. and Mexico were really at odds over action being taken in the United States, relining the All-American Canal,” Pitt said. The relining affected the flow of groundwater to Mexico — an issue that wasn’t included in the 1944 Water Treaty between the two countries. “To get to the signing of Minute 319, there was an incredible amount of effort by many people and agencies from the federal level, the state level and NGOs [Non-Governmental Organizations] to build a relationship, build trust, build a common understanding of how the Colorado River works in both countries so that we can find areas where the two countries could cooperate,” Pitt said. The Colorado River Delta was once left dry by the damming at Lake Powell and Lake Mead decades ago, however, conservationists began working on the delta in the early 90s. In 2014, Minute 319 allowed for a pulse flow of water to be delivered to the river in Arizona and bring the Colorado into the Gulf of California for the first time in years. Since 2012, a coalition of six NGO conservation groups from the U.S. and Mexico, under the name Raise the River, have taken on the responsibility of the delta’s restoration on
the ground and through legislation. “Together, we work on habitat restoration in the Colorado River Delta,” Pitt said. “We don’t all do everything, but together, cooperating, we do an awful lot.” Karl Flessa, professor of geosciences at the UA, is a researcher at the Colorado River Delta. “It’s great to see that Mexico and the U.S. can collaborate on the management of the Colorado River, despite the continued drought, despite the prospect for a hotter climate and despite the political tensions between the two countries,” Flessa said. “It’s a great deal for both countries and for the restoration of important habitats in the delta.” The Sonoran Institute is a conservation organization based in Tucson. It manages the largest portion of land included in the restoration efforts. Karen Schlatter, adaptive management specialist for the Colorado River Delta program for the Sonoran Institute, called the signing of Minute 323 a “significant achievement for ensuring a more water-secure future for the West,” which is a long-term objective of the Sonoran Institute. “We are very excited for the environmental component of the agreement, which will expand the scope of restoration in the Colorado River Delta and continue to build upon the success of restoration efforts under Minute 319,” Schlatter said. While the signing of Minute 323 was a huge achievement for international partnership and conservation efforts, it only marks the beginning of a renewed cooperative effort, Pitt said. “I’ve been joking with everybody who’s been congratulating me that I just signed them up for nine years of hard labor,” Pitt said. She, along with partners in the U.S. and Mexico, will begin to plan how to operationalize commitments made in the agreement, while the organizations that make up Raise the River will begin a new phase in the restoration of the delta. “We can’t wait to get to work,” Pitt said.

What’s for lunch? Sautéed Mealworms BY BRIAN WINKLER @Brianewinkler
Cultures around the world use insects as a staple protein in their dishes. Requiring less natural resources than livestock, these creepy-crawlies are able to provide a high amount of protein at a cost significantly less than that of animal proteins such as beef. At the 2017 Arizona Insect Festival, I was able to experience the taste of these protein-rich critters firsthand thanks to the Insects as Food booth. This booth showcased mealworms and crickets in its dishes. Unfortunately, when I got to the booth, they were out of cricket cookies, but they still had mealworms galore. At first thought, the idea of eating mealworms made my stomach turn. This came as no surprise since the closest thing to a bug in my Americanized diet is lobster. Though as it turns out, there are already a great deal of insects in our food. The Food and Drug Administration’s Defect Handbook outlines what levels of certain contaminants for various foods are acceptable. One such level outlined is the proportion of insects allowed in our foods. For instance, frozen broccoli is permitted to have up to 60 aphids per 100 grams of broccoli. Cornmeal is allowed to have up to one whole insect per 50 grams. Apparently, without my knowledge, insects have been a piece of my diet for years now, though this was the first time I
consciously made the choice to consume insects. Something I’ve always felt adamant about is that if people somewhere in the world enjoying eating a certain food, there’s no reason I can’t as well. After all, people don’t choose to continually eat food they think is disgusting. Except for haggis. Seriously, I’ve never met anybody who enjoyed haggis. The one time I tried haggis, the Scottish gentleman who bought it for us strongly declined the invitation to partake in this amalgamation of sheep organs. After eating it, I understood why. Anyways, back to the bugs. After being sautéed with onions, these mealworms looked like, well, mealworms. But I came to the festival to eat some insects, and that was just what I was going to do. These mealworms were plated on a tortilla chip with the option of red or green salsa. As per the suggestion of the kind folks working the booth, I went with the red. Once I was mentally and emotionally prepared, I took the plunge and shoved the whole chip into my mouth. To my surprise, it was really good! Honestly, I could hardly taste the bugs aside the onion flavor they had absorbed. Bugs are definitely well within my budget, unlike chicken or steak — though that may be more of a revelation regarding the current economic state of the American college student than a shift in perspective. If this is what eating bugs means, I can get on board with this.

Why pesticides and pollinators don’t mix
BY SIBU KUNNIE @DailyWildcat
The Pollinator Paradise booth at the Oct. 1 Arizona Insect Festival was buzzing with excitement as adults and children alike discovered the importance of pollinators. Pollinators are animals that pollinate plants. Kaitlyn Mathis, postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Insect Science, described why pollination is essential to the world: “There’s a mutualism between pollinators and plants,” Mathis said. “Low pollinator abundance means less crosspollination between plants, which means fewer seeds.” Produce found in grocery stores is thus tied directly to pollinators. “Seventy percent of crops require animal pollination,” said Gordon Smith, a College of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology graduate student. Smith used almond cultivation in California as an example: Honeybees must be brought in by the truckload in order for the almond trees to be pollinated. Bees are common pollinators, especially in the Sonoran Desert. According to a bulletin at FWS.gov, the area around Tucson is home to 1,000 species of native bees. “We live in a bee biodiversity hotspot,” Smith said. But around the world, bees and other pollinators like moths and butterflies are under threat. Daniel Papaj, professor in the College of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, gave a number of reasons why:
“Pesticides called neonicotinoids have been shown to have some significant effects on bees,” Papaj said. “We need pesticides, but we’ve got to somehow manage them with the use of bees for pollination.” Additionally, honeybees have been negatively impacted by

Colony Collapse Disorder, as well as the Varroa destructor mite. “That’s one of the reasons we’re studying not only honeybees but also native pollinators,” Papaj said. Native pollinators may fill gaps left by affected honeybee populations. An example is hydroponic tomatos in Wilcox, Arizona. “Honeybees won’t even pollinate the tomatoes, but bumblebees will,” Papaj said. “Bumblebees are grown commercially to pollinate the tomatoes.” But the need for pollinators is not limited to food crops. Cotton and many other plants rely on insect pollinators for reproduction. “Some of the flowers depend on these native pollinators,” Papaj said. “If we lose the pollinators ... we can lose the plant.” Papaj also pointed out links between climate change and pollinators. “With climate change, we’re seeing a mismatch in phenology,” Papaj said. This means pollinators come out either too soon or too late for the blooming flowers. Normally, they would be in sync. Visitors to the Arizona Insect Festival learned all about pollinators and what the future may bring for them. According to the website, that’s the goal of the festival: to improve the public’s science literacy and increase awareness of the importance of insects.

New hair and nail salon opens on Speedway BY KATELYN CALDWELL @kcaldwell_DW
Astique’ Nail Spa is a brand new nail and hair salon located southeast of Speedway Boulevard and Warren Avenue. Deena Katterman, one of four co-owners, said the goal of Astique’ is to provide a high-end salon

Prices range from $18 to $50 for nail services, with different packages for customers to choose from. Katterman said that time factors into what service a customer should choose. The “Back to Work” package is said to be the fastest of the three packages, while the

technicians at the salon. Astique’ currently has eight nail technicians on hand and are looking to hire 13 to 15 more. Astique’ also provides makeup application for all kinds of events ranging in price from $45 to $65. The shop space was purchased this summer, with the goal being to spend three weeks on maintenance and renovations in order to open the doors for sorority and fraternity rush week at the UA; things did not unfold as originally planned. “There was a lot of deferred maintenance that we didn’t expect,” said Lee Katterman, husband to Deena and fellow co-owner. The salon had its grand opening last week, and Deena said business has been steady. “It is important we are providing top customer service to everyone who walks through the door,” Deena said. She told of her initial career in the restaurant industry, followed by 17 years as a real estate agent in Tucson. Deena said that she felt “burnt out” and wanted a change in her life. “This salon didn’t start out as a passion,” Deena said. “But now it is.” Lee has worked as a contractor in Tucson for the last 14 years and was responsible for all renovations in the salon. The cost for renovations and décor totaled approximately $100,000. From the custom benches to the “bougie” chandeliers, Lee said he put in a lot of time to make sure the salon looked perfect.

The Kattermans have seven children ranging from 3 to 23 years old. “We are definitely a kid-friendly salon,” Deena said. Fellow co-owner Thomas Valenzuela said he has worked as a chef for the past eight years at the Delta Gamma sorority house. Valenzuela said he refers to himself as the “house dad” and had the idea to open up a nail salon near campus. Valenzuela said the girls at the sorority house were the inspiration behind the idea; he said that they would come to him and complain about bad nail jobs and lack of customer service at other nail salons in town, which sparked the venture into catering a business for them. Valenzuela is responsible for coming up with the salon’s name, a French word for “polished.” Deena said there are a lot of things that make Astique’ different from other salons in town, and that it was her idea to have outlets at all of the chairs in the salon and even provide chargers for clients to use. Astique’ also has geo-tags and Snapchat filter customers can use when they are in the salon. Dudley-Horrocks said that they are also working on a table service app to text clients when their appointments are ready. “That way clients can go grab a bite to eat or walk around while they wait for their appointment,” Dudley-Horrocks said. Astique’ has partnered with Wildcarts, which is a golf-cart taxi service, to pick up clients on or near campus. “It’s a free service,” Valenzuela said. “However, we ask you tip the drivers.”

Classic Halloween films BY KACIE LILLEJORD @DailyWildcat
Double, double, toil and trouble. It’s October, that time of year to celebrate everything spooky, gory and downright scary.

Get scared, laugh until you cry and submerge yourself in spooks and horror galore.
College of Humanities hosts festival BY AVA GARCIA @ava_garcia1
“HOCUS POCUS”
“HALLOWEEN”
The film begins on October 31, 1693 near Salem, Massachusetts. The evil witches, the Sanderson sisters, played by Better Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker use a spell to drain a child’s life force to restore their own youth, but they are hung by the townspeople. Three hundred years later, Max Dennison, played by Omri Katz, inadvertently brings them back to life. Max, his sister Dani, played by Thora Birch, and Allison, played by Vinessa Shaw, spend Halloween night evading capture and trying to find a way to send the Sanderson sisters back to where they came from. Hilarity ensues as the kids repeatedly outwit the three witches. You can watch this film with Netflix DVD or buy or rent from Amazon.
This 1978 John Carpenter classic initially introduces us to Michael Myers as a child on Halloween night in 1963, having stabbed his older sister to death, and who is subsequently sent to a sanitarium. Fifteen years later, on October 30, Michael breaks out of the sanitarium and returns to his hometown in Illinois to resume his killing spree. He stalks Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, and her friends. Meanwhile, Michael’s psychiatrist Sam Loomis, played by Donald Pleasence, urgently searches for Michael alongside the local police. This slasher flick boasts a franchise of sequels and a gory remake. You can watch this film by renting or buying on Amazon.
“BEETLEJUICE”
“HALLOWEENTOWN”
Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin star as a recently deceased couple, Barbara and Adam Maitland, in New England. Their dream home is bought following their deaths and is transformed by the Deetz family, whose daughter Lydia, played by Winona Ryder, is the only person who can see them. Barbara and Adam initially attempt to scare the Deetz family from their home but grow to be friends with Lydia. However, prior to this newfound friendship, they contacted “bio-exorcist” Betelgeuse (a.k.a. Beetlejuice), played by Michael Keaton. Betelgeuse provides the majority of humor in this 1988 Tim Burton film, causing chaos wherever he goes. You can watch this film on Netflix DVD or rent it on Amazon.
This 1998 Disney Channel original classic follows Marnie, played by Kimberly J. Brown, a young teenager obsessed with the supernatural. On Halloween, her grandmother Aggie, played by Debbie Reynolds, comes to visit her and her family. She reads them a story about “Halloweentown”, a mythical place home to beings like witches and ghosts. When Aggie leaves , Marnie, her brother and her sister follow her and find that Halloweentown is a real place. Aggie asks for help in determining the source of several disappearances in Halloweentown. It’s up to Marnie and her siblings to save their family and Halloweentown.! You can rent this film with Netflix DVD or rent on Amazon.
“IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN” This 1966 classic follows the Peanuts gang as they prepare for Halloween. Linus, voiced by Christopher Shea, insists that a Great Pumpkin will appear Halloween night in the local pumpkin patch and present them with presents while everyone else goes trick-or- treating. Only Sally, voiced by Kathy Steinberg, who possesses a massive crush on Linus, supports him and sits in the pumpkin patch with him. Of course, Charlie Brown, voiced by Peter Robbins, gets a rock instead of candy at every door. Enjoy the antics of the Peanuts gang and show some support for the Great Pumpkin as part of your Halloween line-up. You can watch this film with Netflix DVD or rent on Amazon.
“THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS” Jack Skellington, voiced by Chris Sarandon and Danny Elfman, is the “Pumpkin King” and leader of Halloween Town, and has grown bored with his title. He stumbles upon Christmas Town, and decides that he and the residents of Halloween Town will take over Christmas in Santa’s place. Dressing up as St. Nick, the skeleton “Santa” royally messes up Christmas. You can watch Jack and his friends on Netflix as they wreak havoc in a frightfully spooky manner.

Pride in the Park celebrates LGBTQ community Tucson Pride marked 40 years of coming together for the LGBTQ community with an all-day event Saturday BY SARAH WORKMAN @DailyWildcat
Tucson Pride celebrated its 40th anniversary on Saturday with Pride in the Park. The event was held at Reid Park and featured a variety of guests, including singer David Hernandez from “American Idol,” Berlin, Fly By Midnight and others. Arizona local Mark Fetgatter, better known as Bunny FuFu, and Tori Steele hosted the event. College students, teenagers, grandparents and elementaryage children all came together to celebrate. Many of them expressed their pride through colorful clothing, makeup and hairstyles. Businesses and sponsors set up tents that circled around the amphitheater. There, they offered samples, business cards and more. Sponsors ranged from Comcast Xfinity to Fry’s Food Stores to Jack Daniel’s. The event included a dance tent and children-friendly area; hosts and performers rotated on and off the stage throughout the event. Sam Cloud, vice president of the board of directors of Tucson Pride, said Tucson Pride is an important event for the Tucson community because it celebrates self-expression. “Pride is about unity, community and coming together,” Cloud said. “It is about celebrating who we are and celebrating the LGBTQ community, as well as the freedom to be yourself and [to] self expression.” Cloud worked with Tucson Pride last year as a sponsor and later decided to join the board. With a pivot toward more conservative government within the last year, the LGBTQ community has had to adapt to a different political environment. Cloud said the LGBTQ community has come a long way politically but will need to keep working to fight for

Especially now with how much has changed, it’s now really more of a celebration.” Waco Starr is also a veteran in pride leadership. Starr is a
former member of the board of directors for Tucson Pride, volunteering and working with them for over 25 years. Starr has done so with organizations such as the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation and Tumbleweeds Health Center. Starr said Tucson Pride provides a safe outlet for the LGBTQ community to come together and be themselves, and added that this year’s event is distinctive from previous years because of the recent shift in government. “During this time when we are not being heard as much as other groups, this is the time that we need to be out more and showing our true colors and letting people know that we’re not going anywhere and that we’re here to stay,” Starr said.

Wildcats look to avoid Buffaloes stampede BY NATHAN SKINNER @CaneDude08
Mike MacIntyre and the Colorado Buffaloes football team entered conference play untested and rarely challenged. The Buffs cruised through a middling nonconference schedule, beating Colorado State, Texas State and Northern Colorado. Pac-12 Conference play hasn’t been a bed of roses for the men from Boulder; Colorado was demolished by Washington and lost a heartbreaker to UCLA. With a 0-2 record in conference play, the Buffs are desperate to get back on track. Even though it’s down, Colorado is far from out and has a chance to get back into the south division race. Tailback Phillip Lindsay is famous for his retro hairdo, but it’s his versatility that caught the attention of defensive coordinators. Lindsay is a complete player; he is a force on the ground and a deadly weapon on pass downs. Look for the senior to be the focal point of the CU offense. Offensive playcaller Brian Lindgren will look to Lindsay on key downs to take pressure off sophomore quarterback Steven Montez. Montez has struggled with his decision-making, as evidenced by his six interceptions. Montez has issues with identifying complex coverages, but the young passer is a threat with his legs, size and speed, making him dangerous on the edge. Montez also uses his athleticism to extend plays, so it is imperative that the Wildcats’ corner play to the whistle. Bryce Bobo will be Montez’s primary target, as he is an imposing target. Bobo has caught 25 passes this season, with only four coming in conference play. Jay MacIntyre is a handful in the slot; the head coach’s son is averaging 16 yards per catch. MacIntyre is at his best in the middle of the field, and the Buffs love to get him matched up against linebackers. Shay Fields is tied for the team lead in receptions with Bobo and is yet another player that the Buffs use to create favorable matchups. The Buffs are stout up front with four returning starters, including Second Team All-Pac-12 guard Jeromy Irwin. Irwin can play both guard and tackle positions and will be tasked with neutralizing

Arizona’s undersized defensive tackles. Defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot has been tasked with rebuilding what was a dominant unit. Only three starters return from last season, including linebacker Rick Gamboa. Gamboa was the Buffs’ second leading tackler last season with 77. Heading into the UCLA game, the junior had 36 tackles, averaging nine stops per contest. Gamboa is joined on the second level by leading tackler Drew Lewis. Lewis isn’t new to the Pac-12 Conference; he began
his career at the University of Washington. Lewis is a physical linebacker that can diagnose and fill running lanes efficiently. Physicality is a common theme on the CU defense; tackling is emphasized. Even players in the secondary are expected to maul opposing ball-carriers. Cornerback Isaiah Oliver is strong in man coverage as his length can be problematic for smaller receivers. Oliver will be tasked with covering Arizona speedster Shun Brown. CU safety Ryan Moeller had 64 tackles last season, and so far he is on pace to
replicate that performance. Moeller is a run-stuffing safety and will be utilized as an additional linebacker. The Buffs may be undersized up front, but they can harass the quarterback. Leo Jackson leads the team in sacks with five, relying on speed and hand placement to get around the edge. Nose guard Javier Edwards was a highly touted player in the junior college ranks last season and has 16 tackles on the year. Edwards, despite lacking prototypical size, is extremely active in the middle.

Volleyball ready for four-match homestand BY SIMONE MCCARTHY @simonemccarthy0
The Arizona volleyball team was unable to bring home a win this past weekend after taking on the Bay Area schools. The Wildcats hope to change their game plan for the next four matches in McKale Center as they take on No. 13 UCLA, No. 15 USC, Utah and Colorado. Arizona will set up for UCLA on Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m., followed by USC on Friday, Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. The ‘Cats have suffered three consecutive losses so far in the conference after falling to Washington State, No. 2 Stanford and Cal, leaving them to a 1-3 conference record. While in the Bay Area, the Wildcats were swept by Stanford in three quick sets followed by another loss to Cal in a five-set match. Last year, the Wildcats traveled to the LA schools and swept both USC and UCLA, which ended up being the first time in program history that Arizona went 4-0 against the two schools. In the past Arizona has defeated both teams at home, in five sets, but with the road the ‘Cats are on, they need to come out with powerful defense. UCLA currently holds a 2-2 record in the conference. Last week, the Bruins fell to No. 7 Washington but was able to turn around and defeat Washington State. Arizona defense will need to be on the lookout for Bruins outside hitter Reily Buechler, who currently leads the team in kills with 152. Arizona’s outside hitter Kendra Dahlke continues to lead the team with
123 kills and will need to come out powerful to help the ‘Cats get a win. UA sophomore setter Julia Patterson will be another key player during the matches as she had a career-high of 58 assists in a single set against Cal. USC will be the Wildcats’ toughest match this weekend as the Bruins remain undefeated, 4-0 in conference play. The Trojans have a power weapon on their team, sophomore outside hitter Khalia Lanier, who has posted 242 kills so far this season. This will be a challenge for Arizona sophomore middle blocker Devyn Cross, who has posted 45 blocks. A home court advantage may be what the Wildcats need to counter the lack of consistency and victories so far this season. Arizona will wrap up their fourmatch home stand against No. 17 Utah on Friday, Oct. 13, and No. 25 Colorado on Sunday, Oct. 15.
UPCOMING VOLLEYBALL HOME MATCHES Oct. 4 vs No. 13 UCLA at 6 p.m. Oct. 6 vs No. 15 USC at 7 p.m. Oct. 13 vs Utah at 6 p.m. Oct. 15 vs Colorado at 1 p.m.

ARIZONA FOOTBALL
Road warriors? Not so much for Arizona football ANALYSIS
BY DAILY WILDCAT @AlecWhite_UA
The term “road warriors” is often used to describe sports teams that have a knack for finding ways to win as a visiting team. It’s a term that emphasizes the toughness and determination of a team because winning away from the comfort and safety of one’s own stadium is revered across all sports. But that term has not applied to the Arizona Wildcats football team in quite some time, especially when it comes to Pac-12 play. In fact, “road woes” is a more accurate description. As the Wildcats get set to face their first conference road test of the year against the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder on Saturday, Oct. 7, the ‘Cats will be looking for their first road win against a Pac-12 opponent since Oct. 17, 2015. Interestingly enough, UA’s win in 2015 came against the Buffs. But it should be noted that Colorado only won one conference game that year and finished last in the Pac-12 South, so it wasn’t exactly a momentous win. However, that comes out to 720 days since Arizona won its last Pac-12 game on the road.
Since Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez took over the program in 2012, the team has compiled a paltry 7-15 road conference record. Only once since he has been the head coach has Rich Rod ended the season with a winning record away from Arizona Stadium during Pac12 play. The last two years of conference play stand out particularly because Arizona amassed a record of just 1-8. It would be easy to label these losses over the last two seasons as unlucky games that resulted from injuries, lastsecond losses or even just the fact that Arizona was playing a better team, but doing so would be lazy. The simple fact is that Arizona has played disastrously when it has left Tucson. Of UA’s eight road conference losses since 2015, seven of them have by two possessions or more. Fans probably remember the 49-3 drubbing the ‘Cats took in Seattle, Washington against the Huskies in 2015 and most recent 69-7 loss in Pullman, Washington to the Cougars in 2016. There is even the final road game from last season when Arizona got beat by 25 points against an Oregon State team that had only beaten one other Pac-12 school up to that point. Yes, there have been some shocking upsets, particularly the win over No. 2 Oregon in 2014, but the larger scope is that Arizona’s habitual struggles on the road have kept the team from being remotely close to competing for a Pac-12

Championship for four of the last five years. It’s a problem with multiple layers to it, and there’s no clear-cut easy fix. The struggles could stem from poor preparation, poor execution or a lack of intensity during games. The likely answer is a combination of all three. Getting back to road success will be an arduous task for Rodríguez, but it is certainly within the realm of possibility.
Take for example the game at UTEP just a few weeks ago. The game plan was simple: Run the football with authority, play hard-nose defense and don’t make dumb mistakes. If the Wildcats can execute the same gameplan in Boulder this Saturday, the losing streak has a chance of being broken. If not, the streak may live on for yet another season.
UA President speaks out in support of Sean Miller BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
University of Arizona President Dr. Robert Robbins issued a statement about the ongoing investigation of the men’s basketball team as it pertains to former assistant coach Emanuel Richardson. In his statement issued Tuesday, Oct. 3, Robbins detailed the process of the investigation, the steps the school and athletic department have taken toward looking into any wrongdoing and support of current head coach Sean Miller. Robbins detailed the hiring of Steptoe & Johnson LLP, an internationally recognized law firm, to handle an independent review of the allegations from the Department of Justice last week. The investigation into NCAA matters was issued to outside counsel, Jackson Lewis, including attorneys Paul Kelly and Gregg Clifton. Gene Marsh and John Long will also represent the school on behalf of Jackson Lewis when it comes to matters concerning the NCAA.
The statement said there is no timeline for the Department of Justice and that patience is expected for what is thought to be a lengthy legal process. Part of Robbins’ issuance of this statement was to back head coach Sean Miller, who has been under fire for not speaking sooner on the issue. “Based on the facts we know at this time, we support coach Miller and intend to provide him with all of the tools necessary to meet our goals and expectations,” said Robbins in the statement. “The tremendous young men in our basketball program deserve our continued support as they work towards the start of the season, and I have complete faith that our passionate fans will continue to show them our love.” Athletics Director Dave Heeke echoed Robbins’ support of the program with similar statements as well, saying that fans should continue to support Miller and the student-athletes as they get set to start the season. Heeke also said the school will be stronger because of the actions announced today.

opportunity awaits arizona soccer BY MAX COHEN @maxcohen_dw
Arizona soccer salvaged the weekend against No. 2 Stanford and No. 11 Cal, escaping with a split 1-1-0 record. Stanford has only lost two games at home since 2014 and didn’t let the Wildcats take home a win, defeating Arizona 1-0 on Thursday, Sept. 28. The ‘Cats defense bent but didn’t break, managing to only give up a single goal. Arizona keeper Lainey Burdett was a major key for Arizona as she made 11 saves and conceded Stanford’s only goal off a rebound. The Cardinal recorded 32 shots throughout the game, and the Wildcats’ defense couldn’t contain Stanford’s nation-leading attack, but the ‘Cats managed to force a majority of the Cardinal’s shots off target. Arizona midfielder Cali Crisler led the Wildcats on offense with two shots, followed by forward Charlotte Brascia with one shot. Forward Jill Augilera also had a single shot after coming off the bench. Arizona saw star player and senior midfielder Gabi Stoian subbing onto the pitch in the 78th minute. The return of Stoian adds another threat to the already potent UA offense, which is now led by Crisler. Arizona matched up well with the No. 11
Cal after sticking with the No. 2 team in the country for over an hour. Arizona outshot Cal 16-13, but recorded five more shots on target than the Golden Bears. The two sides looked even until Arizona forward Jada Talley proved the difference in the 75th minute. Talley’s game-winning goal was the freshman’s first as a Wildcat. Stoian started for Arizona for the first time in three games exactly 20 days after coming off against Texas Tech with an injury. Stoian was subbed off in the 27th minute and didn’t return until the start of the second half. Talley subbed on for Stoian 10 minutes into the half until Stoian was brought back in the 77th minute, playing the rest of the game. Arizona now has a 2-1-0 conference record and aren’t out of the woods yet. The ‘Cats take on No. 7 USC on Thursday, Oct. 5, followed by top-ranked UCLA on Sunday, Oct. 8. Arizona has never face two top seven ranked teams in the same week in school history. In what could prove to be the biggest weekend in Arizona soccer history, Arizona will look to place itself among the nation’s premiere teams. The competition will be a step higher than last weekend, and Arizona will rely on a home-field advantage at Mulcahu Stadium.
