FAMILY WEEKEND
Family festivities financed by freshman fee Ever wonder how Wilbur and Wilma squeeze enough pennies together to host one of the most important weekends on the UA calendar? BY RANDALL ECK @DailyWildcat
With hundreds of families descending upon the University of Arizona for Family Weekend, the Family Weekend steering committee has orchestrated a careful budget-balancing act to keep its events affordable and to cover all its costs. The estimated $25,000 to put on the weekend does not come from a line item in UA’s budget but rather from the committee securing funding from a variety of sources. “Family Weekend is a zero-base event, meaning we start with nothing and procure sponsorships and grants to fund our events,” said Taylor Chambers, executive director for Family Weekend and neuroscience and cognitive science and physiology undergraduate. For the first time, Family Weekend received a part of the freshman fee, amounting to $3,500, according to Kathy Riester, director of Parent and Family Programs. This funding allowed for the event to expand, providing a free meet and greet with new UA President Dr. Robert Robbins and a shuttle from Highland Garage to the Student Union Memorial Center on Friday. This year, the budget was also supplemented with $1,500 in sponsorships, from La Quinta and Homes and Land among others. Alongside past family donations and t-shirt sales, Parent and Family Programs will provide $2,000 of their budget to cover costs, Riester said. Even with external funding, some Family Weekend events, like the Bear Down Barbecue and Family Fun

year’s budget will break even. Any extra funding would be set aside to fund the events next year. Some profits, though, will not go toward a future Family Weekend but rather a good cause. All the $5 registration fees for the Family Fun Run will be donated to the Campus Pantry, a campus food bank fighting food insecurity among students, Riester said. According to Chambers, around 300 students and parents are expected to attend the event sponsored by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and Parents and Family Association. Any profits from the Family Barbecue will also be donated to the Campus Pantry, according to Chambers. Families and students can buy the Wildcat Experience Package to save on costs and obtain access to the Bear Down Barbecue, Wilbur and Wilma’s Playground, the Family Fun Run and Walk and also to receive a t-shirt. This year, Family Weekend has expanded its partnerships on campus and put all related college-, sorority- or fraternity-specific events on their schedule. Some of these events may have an associated cost with them that does not directly fund or go through the Family Weekend committee, according to Riester. “Family Weekend gives the families of our students the opportunity to see the wonderful university their children are attending, see what the culture is like, experience the academics and meet their student’s friends,” Riester said. The goal of Family Weekend committee is to provide an experience of the Wildcat spirit that is affordable, memorable and allows future events to be unburdened by past costs or constrained by past revenue sources.

Zone, charge an admission to cover their catering and real estate costs. Parents and students planning to attend the Bear Down Barbecue will pay $20 per person and $18 per student. Chambers expects around 1,300 students and family members to attend the event Friday at 6:30 p.m. The Family Fun Zone, which will cost $5 per person, will have inflatables, games and prizes. “We don’t charge more than the event costs,” Riester said. “We don’t make any money.” While in the past, the committee has had to scramble for last-minute funds, Riester is confident that this

Topic of the Week: Family Weekend Four Daily Wildcat columnists share their thoughts on Family Weekend, parents and how the campus changes when the relatives come to town
Family Weekend apocalypse
A chance to share personal development OPINION BY ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
T
he independence offered by attending college allows students to put their wants and needs into focus in their attempt to understand just who they are and where they want to go. College is often the first time for people to really be out in the world on their own, and understanding the personal development that follows leaving your old life behind does a disservice to those students out there who were able to step into their own as
a result of attending this university. But the value of staying close to your family and being involved in the lives of those who for so long guided you and held your hand when the world was frightening is self-evident. Family Weekend offers students who are having difficulty transferring to their new free-form world the ability to connect with those who will support them and offer advice. Beyond that, the opportunities from the experience allow students who have made the transition well to stay close with their family and balance their desire for independence with the hopefully supportive and kindly grounding influence of their parents or extended family.
Family Weekend=big bucks for servers OPINION BY SAMMY MINSK @DailyWildcat
T
here are three things I love: more traffic, longer lines to wait in and older people wearing UA T-shirts. I’m talking about Family Weekend. It’s a wonderful event because it gives me the extra incentive to be as far away from the university as possible. Spur of the moment camping trips or a surf vacation seem much more enticing. It’s not that I secretly get upset that my family can’t make it. I’d
prefer that everyone else bring theirs because then I earn more money. Last year, I was a server at a sports bar near campus and during this particular weekend my tips almost tripled. I simply cannot argue with that. Some students are lucky, like I was last year, when your friend’s parents adopt you as their own for the weekend so you also get to be involved in the free sit-down meals. You can never go wrong going out to dinner with another family. Instead of being yelled at for not passing your last math exam, it’s your friend who gets to bask in the spotlight. It truly is a wonderful weekend to spend with someone else’s family.
OPINION BY TONI MARCHEVA
@DailyWildcat
T
he people who need to prepare most for family weekend are those whose families are not visiting. Never before did I feel so much like I was trapped inside a zombie apocalypse than I did staying in my dorm over Family Weekend without plans to see my parents. First, starting Thursday afternoon, my friends gradually started disappearing. As parents arrived, neighbors went off to show their parents Tucson. Eventually, the residence hall was empty, and I felt absolutely alone. Over time, those who were missing came
back, but like zombies, they were no longer in a state of friendship. Imagine putting yourself between a homesick student and a parent longing to see his or her child — it doesn’t turn out well for the third person. Being alone, and then being constantly reminded of my family and how they were so far away was a disaster for my alreadyhomesick freshman self. I didn’t make it through the weekend. Half way through Saturday I was on my way home to Mesa to get a hug from my mom. So, a warning: If your parents won’t be coming to family weekend and you are still raw from your separation with them, make good plans this weekend. Spend time with friends who also don’t have their parents coming. Go see a movie. Do anything to get out of that lonely apocalyptic scene.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder OPINION BY SCARLETT LORIN @scarlett_lorin
F
amily Weekend for most international students is nothing but a normal weekend, with the exception of everyone else’s parents walking around campus. By choosing to go study far away from home, we gave up the privilege to have our families come see us for such a short period of time. Instead, Family Weekend for us consists of, well, whatever we do on other regular weekends, since nothing really changes for us. What might be different is our friends leaving us for a couple of days to spend it with their families.
The lack of actual family presence during Family Weekend is interpreted by those concerned in different ways, depending on how they feel about family in general. For me, it doesn’t really make a huge difference in my life at first because I think to myself, I have the rest of my life to see my family. But then Family Weekend hits the UA and I walk around campus on my own while everyone else walks with their parents and siblings, and then I realize I miss them more than I think. Family Weekend only lasts, well, a weekend, so it wouldn’t make much sense for my parents to fly down from Hong Kong for a total of 32 hours to spend 48 hours with me. But that’s something I’m willing to give up in order to be here to study, and it makes going home for the holidays that much more special.

Who runs University Blvd.? The Marshall Foundation BY CORINNA TELLEZ @DailyWildcat
Ever wondered who that five-story building on the northwest corner of Park Avenue and University Boulevard belonged to? Well, it’s named eponymously after the Marshall Foundation, founded by Tom and Louise Marshall in 1930. The foundation has donated $1.5 million to charitable organizations in Tucson and Pima County in the past year. Due to the foundation’s close relationship with the University of Arizona, approximately half of the $1.5 million goes directly to the UA to be put toward scholarships. “Our relationship with the University of Arizona is great. Our founder saw it as a place of opportunity and our university excels at so many things, so it’s easy for us to support them,” said Jane McCollum, general manager of the foundation. Louise Foucar Marshall started the foundation in 1930 with the purpose of creating a permanent scholarship fund to help students attend the UA. Thirty years before the foundation even began, Marshall had enacted change on campus by becoming the first female professor at the UA. One year later, Marshall was named the head of the Department of Ancient and Modern Languages. While teaching at the UA, Marshall used her talent for business to come up with the idea that ultimately initiated the Marshall Foundation. Marshall decided to buy and develop land and use the rental income from those sites to fund student scholarships. In 1903, Marshall resigned from her teaching position at the UA to focus solely on her plan. By 1930, Marshall had earned sufficient enough revenue from developing properties to create the Marshall Foundation, a private, not-for-profit corporation. As a non-profit, the foundation is required to annually donate
5 percent of its net worth. The foundation is reappraised every five years, which has allowed it to increase its giving due to the high value of commercial real estate near the UA. “Our tenants are really important to us, and we want them to be successful because that allows us to make our, required by the IRS, contribution as a non-profit,” McCollum said. The foundation owns and manages most of the properties in Main Gate Square, aside from No Anchovies, Frog and Firkin, Illegal Pete’s and Grand Central Clothing. “We want [the businesses the foundation leases] to be active; we want them to be a destination,” McCollum said. The foundation also redeveloped Main Gate Square starting in 1989, at the request of the UA. “We redeveloped it for the purpose of giving more, but now it looks good, its active and it should stand the test of time,” McCollum said. The money the foundation donates continues to come solely from the properties it leases out. Aside from donating to the UA, the foundation also donates to other charities with focuses on early childhood development, education, arts and culture and social services. “Those things lift our own citizens in Pima County out of poverty,” McCollum said. The money donated to the UA for scholarships also has a specific focus; it is put toward scholarships for need-based undergraduates, the Arizona Assurance Program, graduate fellows and nursing students who were initially part of Marshall’s early scholarships. The majority of the scholarships are for Arizona students who attend the UA. “We give them [UA] the ability to work with that money so that they can do what we believe is important: for students to

graduate with as little debt as possible,” McCollum said. Alessandra De Zubeldia, a junior at UA, has been a part of the Arizona Assurance Program since she began freshman year. The program provides financial aid and support services to its recipients. “Without Arizona Assurance, I probably would’ve gone to college, but I would have had to take out a lot of loans that would’ve set me back with debt, making it more difficult to build a life after school,” DeZubeldia said.

UAPD seeks to renew accreditation BY IRELAND STEVENSON @DailyWildcat
The University of Arizona Police Department will undergo the process of re-accreditation this week. A private law enforcement accreditation agency, Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., will be on campus conducting the observation. CALEA will be observing and evaluating UAPD on their operational readiness, officer safety and whether policies and procedures are consistent with modern professional policing standards. Accreditation for UAPD occurs every three years. The process of reaccreditation lasts a few months, depending on how intense the observation is, according to UAPD Crime Prevention Officer, Rene Hernandez, “CALEA sends a representative to come study our policies and procedures and make sure we meet CALEA’s standards as far as our behavior on the job.” Individual officers are also subject to independent, one-on-one talks with evaluators. “They also interview our officers and observe them while they are on the job. Then we receive a report from CALEA in March, informing us on whether we got re-accredited or not and a summary of our performance,” Hernandez said. UAPD achieved its first CALEA Accreditation Award in 1993 when UAPD became one of only five university police departments in the nation to receive national accreditation. The department goes through accreditation voluntarily to ensure that they are doing their jobs to the best of their ability for the public. “We feel accreditation holds us to a higher standard and better ensures ourselves and the public that we are doing our jobs the best we can … this puts us on the cusp of policing and what the best practices are to better serve our public,” Hernandez said. Many institutions throughout the country do not voluntarily put themselves through the accreditation process, but UAPD believes that it also increases community confidence in the policies and practices of an agency. But what happens if the police department does not perform to CALEA’s standards?

UA PRESIDENT DR. ROBERT Robbins, center left, and Arizona Gov.

The project is the first step in a plan to renovate and add infrastructure on campus, particularly research space.
Ducey, Robbins help break ground Arizona’s Governor and UA’s President were on hand to tout a new, $400 million infrastructure plan BY JORDAN WILLIAMS @DailyWildcat
Governor Doug Ducey and University of Arizona President Dr. Robert Robbins attended the ground breaking ceremony for the Veterinary Science and Microbiology building, or Building 90, on Wednesday, Oct. 4. It is the first building to undergo renovations with funds allocated to the UA from the state, Ducey said. The university has been granted $400 million out of $1 billion set aside by the state for building renovations and constructing new facilities. The money will be given to the UA starting in the fiscal year 2017-18 through the fiscal year 2030-31. “The University of Arizona will receive approximately $400 million, with half of that going toward Building 90 and eight other existing buildings on campus,” Ducey said. “The other half will go toward two new, cutting-edge research facilities focused on physical sciences, engineering, bio-engineering, bio-science and biomedicine.”
Ducey sees the money as a sign of legislative success. “In this last session, we were able to pass a $1 billion bonding package so that projects like this can go forward as necessary,” Ducey said. The bonding package, otherwise known as House Bill 2547, was signed by Ducey in May and distributes $1 billion over time to the three universities for infrastructure projects. The goal of House Bill 2547 is to invest in higher education, according to Ducey. “We want the universities in our state to stay cutting-edge,” he said. “So you ... attract the finest professors, leaders and students from around the country.” Robbins sees the UA furthering its goals with the funds allocated to it from the state. “I think the University of Arizona, with its land-grant mission, is poised to use these funds to be good stewards of the funds that the taxpayers of this state entrusted in us,” Robbins said. The UA will invest $18 million for Building 90 restorations, according to the press release. That number actually
indicates big savings, according to Bob Smith, the vice president for Planning, Design and Operations. “This renovation costs less than half of the cost of building a new building of the same size,” he said. “So we can stretch our funds that much farther and provide so much more research space and protect [the] investment that the state’s made over the years.” Built in 1966, Building 90 is one of the oldest research facilities on campus and in “dire need” of renovations, according to Robbins. “I would say it’s a patient on life support,” Robbins said. “So, we’re going to get the opportunity with the investments in it.” The Arizona Legislative Joint Committee on Capital Review approved the renovation on Sept. 19, 2017, according to the press release. Since then, the UA has been working on Building 90. “We began to take the building down, Robbins said. “And it will be really gutted from the inside.” Renovations on Building 90 are expected to be completed in the fall of 2018.

Civil Rights icon Dolores Huerta comes to The Loft BYMELISSA VASQUEZ @melissavasquez
“Dolores,” a documentary about MexicanAmerican civil rights leader Dolores Huerta, has been playing at the Loft Cinema since Oct. 6. On Monday, Oct. 9, Huerta was present for a Q&A session following the 7:30 p.m. showing of the documentary and an introduction for the 10:15 p.m. screening. Alongside Cesar Chavez, Huerta founded the National Farm Workers Association and the United Farm Workers movement in the ‘60s to advocate for the rights of agricultural workers. Huerta also founded the Dolores Huerta Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting leadership and advocacy in communities. She continues to be politically vocal and urges people to be as involved as they can by contacting legislative members and organized leadership. She has received awards from various national organizations, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. “Dolores” gives a glimpse into parts of Huerta’s personal life and public advocacy. It features old images of her youth, footage of her leading protests and organized meetings such as the Delano Grape Strike, and her appearances representing United Farm
Workers and the Latino community. Interviews throughout the documentary also feature people who knew her or were struck by her impact. Ricardo Chavez, Huerta’s son and Cesar Chavez’s nephew, said that while many know of his mother’s legacy today, he never really saw that in his youth— to him, she was his mother. “There’s a lot of history there that can be covered in a short documentary, you know, that needs to be told,” Chavez said. “And I think that it’s time for us to start telling their stories because they’re so busy doing what they’re doing and they’re not alive anymore.” When talking about the meaning of the film to him, Chavez felt that it’s a good way to educate people about Huerta and the movement but that people need to get involved and learn about what her foundation is doing now. He also said that people need to learn history such as Edward Roybal being elected as the first Mexican-American in Congress in modern times. “Their stories need to be told and their children need to be interviewed,” Chavez said. “There’s so many people locally here in Tucson or people who have been organizing their whole lives behind this community and helping people fight injustice. Realize the
superheroes in our presence and we need to start documenting that so that people will know and have the courage to fight like they have.” Chavez also said that a way to improve the future is by being involved in the community and organizing meetings to try to get rid of injustice, racism and abuse of power. It’s not all about the protests. “This movie makes it real sexy but at the end of the day, the secret sauce is hard work. Hard work, works,” he said. “There’s a scene in the movie where they ask my uncle Cesar why a single mother of seven, and he said ‘it doesn’t matter; she does the work… ‘She’s a hardworking organizer and she’s got skills at that.’ It’s something she didn’t learn at a college. it’s something she learned by just going out there and just doing it.” Among those in attendance for the sold-out event were UA faculty, Ada Wilkinson-Lee and Adam Ragan. Wilkinson-Lee is an associate professor in the UA Mexican American Studies department and Ragan is a co-chair in the Arizona Cesar E. Chavez Holiday Coalition, which Wilkinson-Lee is also involved in. “I think it’s important for people to recognize how oftentimes women aren’t written into our history and so we need to recognize the contributions that women make and especially

COMMENTARY
Smacked: First Amendment under assault OPINION
BY ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
T
here is no topic more divisive on the college campuses of America than that of free speech. While freedom of speech has always been a subject of discussion and concern, there are moments when this attempt to understand the boundaries of our liberties becomes distracted by violence and fraught with dissent. Former Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo called the right to free speech, “the matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom.” And to the concept of “being American,” this notion of sacrosanct speech is juggled between our desire for a safer and more stable union with our hope for a more equal and just one. Previously, the greatest threats to this right to expression came from the former, rather than latter, concern. As early as 1798, the Alien and Sedition acts prohibited the publishing of “malicious writings against the government,” in anticipation of a coming war with France. By World War I, freedom of speech was being regularly curtailed in times of crisis in an
attempt to preserve the safety of the nation — at the cost of the rights of its citizens. Over the past several hundred years, since the birth of our nation, the definition of speech has been radically and irrevocably expanded, with its current form now a protection from the whims of the majority, rather than a freedom to express that which is popular. As put by the American Civil Liberties Union, “Constitutional rights must apply to even the most unpopular groups if they’re going to be preserved for everyone.” The rights that make up the backbone of the United States are not to protect the majority alone, but to ensure the protection of the minority from those who wish to silence them. But while the definition of rights has undergone a remarkable expansion, it’s now being threatened from a completely different angle. Rather than arguing that unpopular speech acts as a destabilizing force against the nation, contemporary arguments are just as often made that unpopular speech actually isn’t speech at all, and is instead a form of violence. In an article by Reed McConnell in the school newspaper The Harvard Crimson, a defense of college bans on hate speech was made by saying that people who express those opinions are “committing an act of violence,” and using that violence to “oppress and marginalize” those around them. He is
not incorrect in arguing that people can feel marginalized by the opinions of those around them. This can be experienced by being in the room with someone who hates and disrespects you. But that speech is not violence, no more than Reed McConnell arguing for the limiting of hate speech is an act of violence on hate groups. It’s the right of every citizen to contribute to the public discussion, even if they are so far outside of the mainstream as to be seen as radical and wrong to listen to. It’s as dangerous as it is easy to simply decide which groups are actually contributing and which aren’t, as it allows the majority to pick and choose opinions with which are comfortable to argue. It’s this trend to view free speech as a floodgate of hatred and violence that encourages students to deem an appropriate response to unpopular speech to be actual physical acts of violence. A study published by the Brookings think tank wrote that 19 percent of all respondents viewed “committing violence to silence speech” that they found extremely offensive to be justified. This percentage of students willing to physically assault a person with whom they disagree is so shockingly high as to immediately command the attention of any proponent of the idea that the greatest threat to public discourse is negative speech, if only for a moment. While this report has been challenged on
the grounds of it being an “opt in” survey, meaning that the actual percentage may be inaccurately high or low, the existence of a population willing to respond to words with fists is too surprisingly high to ignore. The now common occurrence of protests, riots and outright assault in response to unpopular speakers and student groups is evident of this time of trouble on our campuses, where it seems every day is a reminder of the riots at UC Berkeley. The solution to our crisis of confidence is not violence, regardless of which side of the aisle you stand on. The trouble in our colleges is not that we have forgotten what it means to be American, but what it means to listen. The anger and injustice comes from the breakdown in communication, the sense of armed camps being the only way to divide, and the idea that all opinions are ironclad and impossible to challenge. We are not a college of liberals and conservatives preparing for war after graduation, and campuses are not the place for confirming what you already feel in your heart. We become stronger the more we argue and evolve, and we stagnate and fall apart once we stop listening to those we disagree with. — Alec Scott is a sophomore Political Science Major studying International Relations

Remembering a sister Sigma Kappa sorority and the UA community celebrated the life of Christiana Duarte, who was killed in the Las Vegas shooting last week, with a memorial service BY ROCKY BAIER
@rockybaier
Hundreds of students gathered in remembrance of University of Arizona alumna Christiana Duarte, lighting candles and hearing close friends speak in the Greek Heritage Park on Oct. 9. Duarte was one of the 59 people killed in the Las Vegas shooting. She lived her last moments dancing and listening to her favorite country music, according to close friends. Six close friends shared their memories of Duarte to the crowd, remembering her infectious smile, strong friendship and her love of dancing. “She wasn’t your typical friend,” said UA law and philosophy junior Breanna Santos. “She loved the people around her hard, and she fought along your side against any obstacles that you might be facing. … She was the best big sister that I could’ve ever asked for.” Santos was Duarte’s little in their sorority, Sigma Kappa. To deal with the loss, Santos traveled to Los Angeles to spend time with Duarte’s best friends. “Before that, my mind felt really … cloudy. I felt like I couldn’t think, and after I had that weekend … I just feel ... so much better,” she said. Duarte’s friends had planned to see her at Homecoming during the week of Oct. 22. “We made our plans and promised a reunion at Homecoming, and like Sean [Campbell] said, ‘we’ll be seeing you at the biggest Homecoming there is,’” said UA marketing senior Brooke Hitchins. Multiple friends expressed sadness that her life ended when it was just beginning; Duarte was 22. UA nursing student Lauren King remembered speaking about their goals, hopes and dreams together and was heart-broken that those dreams were taken too soon. “You didn’t deserve the fate that was handed to you, nor did the other 58 [victims] of this terrible crime,” King said. “I wish this wasn’t the way things ended for you. I wish you could’ve lived out those dreams.” Friends noted that she lived as fulfilling a life as anyone could ever hope for. “I can recall a photo she has on her Facebook right now, with the caption that says ‘Smile, because life is too short to be unhappy,’” King said. “And that’s exactly what she always did. She lived her life the way we all should: with no regrets, ready for anything, living life to the fullest every day and always wearing that beautiful smile on her face.” UA marketing major Brooke Hitchins remembered Duarte joking about how she knew so many people being involved in too much at the Eller College of Management. “It’s funny looking back on it now, because you
taught me what a real legend was,” Hitchins said. “It’s you. You were so loved; you left your legacy here.” “Chrissy wasn’t the president of her sorority; she wasn’t the teacher’s pet; she wasn’t the homecoming queen,” Swanson continued. “She was bigger than just a silly label, and she proved that by making an impact on this world all through one thing: love. Nothing else matters. She’s remembered because of how she treated and loved the people in her life.” Elementary education student Jessica Hopkins didn’t want anyone to take the situation lightly. “If there’s anything I want you to take away from what happened here, it’s this: Our world is hurting, and what’s happening is real,” Hopkins said. “Chrissy was 22 and just starting her life, but that was ripped away without anyone having a say in the matter. … Tragedies like this shouldn’t keep happening. … I lost my best friend in a way that nobody should. Parents mourn for their daughter in a way that no parent ever should. A brother grieves for his baby sister in no way a brother should. Feel that. Think about that. And change what is happening, because no person should have to feel the pain we are feeling.” According to Sigma Kappa president and UA marketing student Kayley Schiffler, 500 candles were not enough to cover the large crowd that showed up for Duarte. “I knew [a large crowd] would happen; it just kind of actualized the fact that she’s who she is,” said Sean Campbell, a class of 2017 graduate. “She was so friendly, could love anyone; she had so much love in her heart that it was expected. Everyone wanted to see her again.” Hitchins said the large crowd meant the world to her, because it showed what a large impact Duarte had. It also showed how supportive the Greek community and the UA community are. One thing Duarte will be remembered for is her signature dance to Abba’s “Dancing Queen.” “Chrissy loved to dance,” Campbell said. “One of our favorite dances was the ‘Dancing Queen.’ She loved to jive, and my times with her are the times of my life.” Santos said that Duarte didn’t want anyone to be scared of the world, but instead to live and laugh for her. “Although Chrissy lost her life in the worst, most hurtful way possible, I find peace knowing she was in a city that she loved, listening to her favorite music with people that she loved,” Santos said. “She was happy and she was dancing her heart away. The dance floor is still open, and it’s playing your favorite song Chrissy. You’re a dancing queen.”

POLICE BEAT BY JESSICA BLACKBURN @hotbread33
Bananas A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall in regards to the disorderly conduct of a male student around 9 p.m., Sept. 23. The male student was reportedly wearing a blue baseball jersey and light blue shorts with bananas on them. According to a resident assistant, he was intoxicated, yelling and banging on doors. The resident assistant told officers he heard a commotion coming from the male student’s room and confronted the student about it. The student abruptly pointed at his resident assistant and said, “Go back in your room or I will kick your ass.” The resident assistant told police he did not feel threatened and would not press charges for disorderly conduct. The male student had exited his dorm and left the residence hall. Officers found him on the bike path north of AZ-SO, giving instructions multiple times to sit on the ground, until he eventually complied. Throughout contact with police, the student flip-flopped between saying he hated cops and calling the officers “faggots” and saying he respected cops. While he spoke, police noted he had repetitive speech; red, watery eyes and an odor of intoxicants coming from his breath. An officer told the student to calm down. He refused to comply. He was then placed in handcuffs and informed he was under arrest for minor in possession of alcohol. Being blunt A UAPD officer responded to the Student Recreation Center in reference to an odor of marijuana coming from a backpack around 5 p.m., Sept. 26. Upon arrival, police met with a staff member who advised them of a black backpack in the basketball gym that belonged to a man who was playing basketball. As police walked toward the backpack, they noticed a strong smell of marijuana. Police proceeded to interrupt the basketball game and asked who the backpack belonged to. The man the staff-member had pointed out claimed the backpack and left the court to speak with police. As police began to explain to him that a staff-member smelled an odor, the man interrupted police and said “marijuana.” Without asking, the man told police he had about a gram of marijuana in his backpack and gave it to police. At the entrance of the recreation center, the man removed a Ziploc bag that contained what looked to be more than a gram of green leafy buds consistent with the odor and appearance of marijuana. The man, who identified himself as a student, told police it was the first time he was going to attempt to smoke marijuana and said he bought the baggie of marijuana for $20 because a friend of his wanted to smoke later in the day. Police confiscated the marijuana and advised the student he would be diverted for possession of marijuana.

Can I get in trouble helping someone who is drunk? If your friend is so intoxicated that they are vomiting uncontrollably or unable to be wakened, they need medical help. Letting them sleep it off could be deadly. Your efforts to help your friend could go a long way towards saving their life and leniency in your case. No one wants the fear of getting in trouble to keep someone from receiving help during a medical emergency involving alcohol. Student health and safety are the primary concerns of The University of Arizona. For that reason, UA Police Department has a Good Samaritan protocol (deanofstudents.arizona.edu/ safecats/ua-good-samaritan-protocol) in place that helps the person caring for a friend as well as the student in need of medical attention. If you want to use this protocol to help someone (including yourself) with emergency medical assistance, be sure to contact the University of Arizona Police or a Resident Assistant. The Protocol makes it so the student and/or organization that uses it will not be subject to disciplinary action with respect to the alcohol policy. Other
policy infractions are not included in this protocol. You are to: call 911, stay with the person until help arrives, and be ready to give the responders as much information about your friend’s status as you can. You will have to give your contact information to ensure your friend’s well-being and for follow up. Even if you’ve used the Good Samaritan protocol, you will still be referred to the Dean of Students. You may meet with the Dean of Students’ office staff who will link you with any resources needed. Depending on the situation, you may be required to see a substance abuse specialist or counselor, attend an educational component, or obtain referral to treatment. At the end of the day, what’s important is that you’ve helped someone in crisis and undoubtedly grown a little in the process.

Academy takes aim at state teacher shortage BY MELISSA VASQUEZ @melissavasquez
The University of Arizona, in conjunction with Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and the other two Arizona state universities, have developed an initiative called Arizona Teach Academy. The academy is an effort to address the teacher shortage plaguing the state’s schools. Through the Arizona Teachers Academy program, the UA’s College of Education covers qualifying students’ tuition, easing the financial burden. To qualify for scholarships from the Arizona Teachers Academy, interested students must already have a bachelor’s degree and must apply to the College of Education’s Teach Arizona or the Master of Arts in Special Education program. Both are one-year master’s degree programs that provide students with a teaching certification. Teach Arizona certifies students to teach secondary education, grades 6 to 12, while the special education program certifies students to teach students with mild to moderate disabilities. At the UA level, this plan was put together by the College of Education and Provost Andrew Comrie. It was
implemented immediately, so students who were enrolled in Teach Arizona, the special education program and had already paid their tuition for the fall semester were reimbursed. According to Barry Roth, director of Teach Arizona, the Academy addresses the statewide teacher shortage but does not solve the issue. The real concern isn’t in recruiting teachers, Roth said; it’s in keeping teachers in the classroom and fixing working conditions for them. And that includes pay rates. “I just read an article that said teacher pay — elementary teacher pay — in Tucson is the lowest in the country,” Roth said, adding that secondary education teachers’ salaries aren’t adequate either. “Teacher pay in Arizona is abysmally low; in Tucson it’s particularly so,” he said. Another obstacle for teachers is what is in the “deep professionalization” they face. “So here you have these highly educated, highly trained, highly committed people who are not given an opportunity to do what they’re trained to do. Instead, they’re fulfilling mandates, they’re doing paperwork,” Roth said. “So you have the educators who are enormously frustrated because they are not allowed to do their magic.” Still, Roth hopes the academy will get

the absolute solution, helping students afford the education required to become a teacher is a good way to start. “Teachers in the state are not paid well, so it’s really difficult for people who want to become teachers to have to pay the debt they might have to go into. Anything we can do to alleviate that concern is great. We support that idea, and we’re all in favor of being able to help these students to afford to become teachers,” Johnson said. While teaching can be a difficult job, Johnson doesn’t want passionate students to be discouraged, because there are people that care about education. “I want to emphasize that, even though we do have issues with teachers being professionalized and not valued with low teacher pay, it’s actually a good profession to be into,” he said. “We have some incredible teachers in Arizona and Tucson, and some of them are battling some tough situations, and it’s remarkable that they’re still doing good work, and we have to step it up in how we support them.” One of the the students benefiting from the Arizona Teachers Academy is Charisse White, who is in the master’s program at the UA’s Chandler Campus.

Accreditation does not just affect the department; it also affects the students of the UA. “This process shows UA students our transparency as an active police department and [that] we are holding ourselves to the highest standard possible to serve the students in our community,” Hernandez said.
The program is helpful for people like White who want to enter the field of teaching after switching careers or who are attending grad school after getting their bachelor’s degree. White said she was hesitant to pursue her master’s because she was afraid of the additional debt she would accrue, especially since teachers’ salaries are low. “So now having that scholarship put a huge weight off of my shoulders, and I can now focus more on my academics while I’m going to this program, as opposed to stressing about [debt],” White said. White said the academy will allow students who want to teach to do so without having to worry about falling into debt. “They’re able to really follow their passions and teach to the best of their desires and not have to worry about taking $20,000 to $40,000 of debt,” White said. In the future, White would like to teach students in underprivileged communities and help them learn that they can go to college despite the obstacles they many encounter. As a single mother working a full-time job while studying full-time, White wants to show her students that they can pursue an education if they want it bad enough. “I want to be able to show that it’s not an easy path but it’s definitely possible, and if you don’t fight for it for yourself then no one else will,” White said.

FAMILY WEEKEND
Why family weekend is about more than just football UA experts talk about the importance of having a support system while in college @nm_dailywildcat
While Family Weekend is a fun time for students and their parents to see one another, there are also many emotional and mental health benefits to the annual event. Established in 1929 and only skipped for two years during World War II, Family Weekend has undergone many names, but remains an important University of Arizona tradition, according to Kathryn Adams Riester, the Associate Dean of Students and Director of UA Parent and Family Programs. “It was originally called Moms’ and Dads’ Day, and then Parents’ Day,” Adams Riester said. “In 1992, it was changed to Family Weekend to be more inclusive of all families.” Parents sign up to attend several different events hosted by the UA in order to bond with their children attending the university and to learn more about it. There are panels given by various organizations, such as CAPS, with Deborah CoxHoward, the CAPS Outreach Counselor and substance abuse professional counselor, giving a talk on empty nest syndrome. Experienced parents also give a panel about their experiences with sending their children to college. They will be able to answer general questions, as well as questions about difficulties a student may be facing. It offers parents kinship, so they know that they are not alone in their experiences, and more information to help guide their family through the college process. All of these events, panels and workshops are good for both the parents and the students, both of whom may have a difficult time when a student leaves to study at the UA, Adams Riester said.

KRISTEN BREDAR EXITS THE Slonaker House on Oct. 9, 2014 with her father, Bill Bredar, who arrived early for Family Weekend from Alaska. Having family visit is not only fun, but provides reassurement for nervous parents and students.
“I think it’s a good time for the family to reconnect and check in,” Adams Riester said. “And I know that a lot of times, when a student leaves home, they are also missed by the parents and the younger siblings.” It also allows the family the opportunity to see what life is really like at the university alongside their student, who, more often than not, is a freshman. “Eighty to 85 percent of the students whose families come are freshmen,” Adams Riester said. Adams Riester also noted that Family Weekend occurs at the halfway point in the semester, when a student is becoming
more adapted to the university lifestyle and more comfortable with their independence. “It is also fun because at this time, students are settled into their classes and their environments,” Adams Riester said. Families are able to check in and see their student, which can be reassuring for concerned or worried parents. They can learn more about what their children do on campus and the types of classes that they are taking. “New students have made friends,” Adams Riester said. “It’s a fun time for families to get a snapshot of what their student’s life on campus looks like.” There are also many important
benefits for students who are able to participate in Family Weekend. “I think that for students, especially students who have been homesick or missing their families, it’s a great opportunity to see their families again,” Adams Riester said. While not all families are able to come to Family Weekend, there are plenty of benefits to attending and several fun and informational events. The events serve to help comfort homesick students and worried parents, Adams Riester said. “[Parents] are coming here and [students are] getting the chance to show them their
environment,” Adams Riester said. The family is able to learn more about the UA all together, as well as get to know their student’s lifestyle, classes and friends. It’s a bonding experience designed to both educate and comfort. Adams Riester said that while Family Weekend organizers would like people to officially sign up so that they know how many programs to print, anyone is free to stop by this weekend and attend the events that they wish. More information on the annual event can be found on the Family Weekend website: familyweekend.arizona.edu.

FAMILY WEEKEND
Ways to overcome the ‘no-family blues’ If your family won’t be joining you for Family Weekend, here are some Campus Health tips for coping
BY CHANDLER DONALD @Chandlerjdonald
Family Weekend is coming up, and while it promises to be something to look forward to for many, for some it will only serve as a reminder that their family won’t be joining them for the festivities. USA Today reported that the University of Arizona has the highest out-of-state student percentage among the three state schools, at around 30 percent. With such a high percentage of out-of-state students, Family Weekend can be problematic for students coming from elsewhere in the world. This, combined with already stress-inducing tuition rates — over 32 grand for out-of-state students — and a high prevalence of mental illness in university students, means that Family Weekend might be more of a downer for a lot of people. “Part of the reason for this is that college falls into the age group that has the highest levels of depression and anxiety overall,” said Debra Cox-Howard, a mental health clinician for Campus Health, in an email. “College is an exciting time, but it can also be very challenging.” For many students, Cox-Howard said, college marks the time when you have to start doing things for
yourself. It becomes apparent that dishes, laundry and meals don’t get taken care of on their own. For pre-physiology freshman Marissa Meza, Family Weekend won’t come with the same fun as it will for many other students. “With this being my first Family Weekend, it would have been nice to show my family around campus and to spend some time with them, but my sister goes to college in a different state and my mom couldn’t make it down,” Meza said. Cox-Howard said that while it might seem gloomy, students shouldn’t let the lack of family on Family Weekend get them down. “For some, they knew in advance, for example, that their parents would not be able to come,” Cox-Howard said. “For most, those without parents and family members will still participate in activities and many will do so with new-found friends that they have made here.” There are many festivities that students can enjoy even without their family present. For example, Tucson Meet Yourself will be showcasing traditional arts from cultures native to Southern Arizona and Northern Mexico. It’s going on Friday through Sunday in downtown Tucson. Furthermore, students in need of something to do this weekend should look into the UCLA-Arizona football
game on Saturday night. The Bruins and Wildcats are long-time rivals, and as Family Weekend is sure to bring plenty of alumni to Tucson, the game promises to be lively. Finally, the Student Recreation Center will be allowing non-membership holders to use the facilities at the Rec when they are with a student, free of charge. So bring a friend to the gym who usually doesn’t get to go. “Don’t isolate. Go to activities, participate,” CoxHoward said. “Work out — this helps boost endorphins and lowers stress also.” However, if you don’t find any of these helpful and the absence of your family this weekend is giving you the blues, don’t hesitate to reach out to Campus Health. “CAPS, Counseling and Psych Services, offers brief therapy, assessment and referral,” Cox-Howard said. “We also have psychiatric services and groups. CAPS has walk-in triage hours, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., where students can speak with a licensed professional, first-come, first-served basis for a nominal fee. During that time, services and resources that can be of benefit to the student are discussed.” So whether your family is coming this weekend or not, it’s important for the student community and collective health community to be inclusive of those who will be missing their family.

Shrimp in the Desert: BY HANNAH DAHL @Hannah_dahl715
Do you remember the last time you enjoyed a plate of shrimp scampi or shrimp tacos? There’s a good chance one of those shrimp’s relatives paid a visit to the University of Arizona campus before it made it to your plate. The UA Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory is the only World Organization for Animal Health Reference laboratory for crustacean diseases in North America. This means shrimp researchers and farmers from nearly every shrimp-producing country in the world have had some sort of interaction with the lab, said Arun Dhar, director for the lab and associate professor of shrimp and other crustacean aquaculture. The U.S. imports close to $6 billion in shrimp every year, but exports far less, Dhar said. “We really don’t produce shrimp, but we develop tools and technologies in order to make shrimp farming sustainable,” Dhar explained. “In other words, we export technology, knowledge and expertise to the world.” A global need The UA Aquaculture Pathology Lab is one of these top exporters of research and expertise. The lab provides everything from disease diagnostics to quarantining of wildcaught breeding stock to valuable training courses and proficiency tests. These services are in high demand because any shrimp or shrimp feed being exported from the U.S. needs to be certified as
Why the UA is a top diseasediagnosis-destination for shrimp
disease-free, Dhar said. When an outbreak occurs in this country, all shrimp must be checked before being exported. Nearly all of the currently known shrimp pathogens have emerged in the last 40 years, according to Dhar. This is primarily because of a global shift from subsistence farming to industrial production of shrimp. “Anytime a farming practice becomes more industrialized, you are growing animals at a much higher density and the probability of an outbreak of diseases is much higher,” Dhar said. It is for this reason that the lab is located in the Arizona desert, miles away from any major body of water. “If you are doing research on shrimp diseases and your lab is located next to the ocean, then the probability is high that the disease might spread,” Dhar said. “Anytime you work on infectious diseases, you really like to have your lab away from water.” Wet lab Despite this, the lab does run an off-campus wet lab facility, separate from the diagnostic labs. The wet lab is in charge of all the live shrimp research. This can involve training industry professionals, conducting studies, testing feed additives, developing protocols and quarantining shrimp stocks, said Brenda Noble, senior research specialist at the Aquaculture Pathology Wet Laboratory. When shrimp farmers are picking shrimp for a breed stock, they want to know if they have any inherent genetic resistance to

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA Aquaculture Pathology Lab studies shrimp and other crustaceans and does live shrimp research in its wet lab. The lab is located in the desert to avoid the possible release and spread of disease.

common pathogens, Noble said. If the results from tests performed at the wet lab prove the shrimp are in fact resistant, farmers can use them to improve the genetic resistance of their shrimp crop. Diagnosing the disease There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and there’s more than one way to diagnose a shrimp, too. When a client wants to diagnose its shrimp, it can either send them to the histology lab for tissue testing or to the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) lab for DNA extractions, said Jasmine Millabas, histology specialist at the Aquaculture Pathology Histology Laboratory. While PCR is more popular with clients because it often produces results faster, histopathology is necessary for diagnosing diseases, Millabas said. In the histology lab, Millabas starts by dissecting the head and tail sections from the diseased (and deceased) shrimp and placing them into cassettes. After being dehydrated in a processor overnight, the individual cassettes of shrimp tissue are coated to form wax blocks. These wax blocks can be easily sliced into thin sections and placed on glass slides, Millabas said. These slides represent microscopic crosssections of the shrimp’s diseased
tissue. Millabas then melts the remaining wax from the tissue and puts the slides through a series of chemical stains. These stains will help the histopathologist read the tissue and diagnose the shrimp’s disease. Polymerase chain reaction lab In the room next door, Mike Rice, an animal-biomedical sciences research specialist, works on diagnosing shrimp using the PCR method. “PCR is a method to amplify DNA, so if the crustaceans have either a bacterial or viral infection, we can detect the DNA from those viruses or bacteria,” said Rice, PCR specialist for the lab. While both labs can effectively detect diseases in shrimp, they are distinctly different in their methods, Millabas said. Rice said one way was in the timing. “You might be able to say that with PCR you can detect some things sooner, before [the disease] starts to show up,” Rice said. “In theory, with PCR you only need one bacterial cell or virus, so you can detect the whole infection before it gets going.” Top-of-the-line training Because there is a global demand for the research done in these labs,
once a year the UA offers a weeklong shrimp pathology course. For six days, participants are immersed in the lab experience, receiving enhanced hands-on training. In the last 27 years that the lab has offered the course, it has trained nearly 1,400 people, Dhar said. This year, there were 19 participants from across the world, ranging from Australia to Thailand to Canada, according to Millabas. Along with the short course, the lab also administers a proficiency or “ring” test to shrimp diagnostic labs around the world. “We send infected shrimp tissue carrying specific diseases to these labs without telling them what they are, and then the labs must try to diagnose them correctly,” Dhar said. According to Millabas, this helps the other labs to determine how efficient they are and where they might need to improve, but it also helps the UA lab ensure they’re doing top-of-the-line work. It’s this standard of work that’s earned the UA lab attention and respect from some of the top producers in the shrimp industry. “For me, it’s a privilege and an honor to run this lab, and I’m very proud of the lab and of my colleagues,” Dhar said.

When sports and science work together BY OLIVIA JONES @I-G-G-Why
The Applied Sports Nutrition course has been providing nutrition support services to the University of Arizona rugby team. The course workshops with 60 rugby players all semester long and provides them with nutritional education services, which range from assessing the body composition of the players to evaluating their hydration status and doing a dietary analysis. “Club sports aren’t given any nutritional science services like NCAA sports. They’re on their own,” said Veronica “Ronnie” Mullins, professor of the Applied Sports Nutrition course and assistant professor of practice in nutritional sciences, in a phone interview. “This is a great collaborative opportunity for my students to work with athletes who need their services.” The course focuses heavily on hydration status, seeing as the team practices in the Arizona heat for hours at a time. According to Mullins, it is important the rugby team comes to practice hydrated and that they make sure they can recover electrolytes lost while sweating. The kidney is the organ in the body that concentrates urine. If the body, and in turn, the kidney, is more hydrated,
the urine becomes more diluted. This indicates a healthier hydration status for everyone, not just athletes, because it means the kidneys can work more efficiently. The students test hydration using urine refractometers and urine samples from every rugby player. According to Mullins, using a measurement of urinespecific gravity can tell the students how concentrated or diluted urine is. UA rugby team head coach Sean Duffy said hydration has become very important to the players, especially when they saw evidence of how dehydrated some of them were. According to Mullins, 95 percent of the rugby players are out-of-state students. “They aren’t acclimatized to the heat,” Mullins said. “I expect that they will improve over time, partially because they will become acclimatized, partially because of the students giving [them] nutrition education.” Students in the Applied Sports Nutrition course also measure body composition of the rugby players using an ultrasound machine that collects the body fat percentage, because how much each player has to hydrate depends on weight loss and how much they sweat during practice. Duffy also said the team has been filling out journals of their daily food intake.
“[The players] were surprised to see that they were under-fueling,” Duffy said. One of the challenges of the course is getting used to working with athletes, Mullins said, because often it is the students’ first time doing so. “They have to get comfortable with doing the assessments and talking with athletes, [because] these students have a lot of nutrition info in their heads,” Mullins said. “What they are learning is ... [how to] translate it to the athletes in a way that makes sense and leads to practical changes that improve performance.” Duffy said he had been looking for something like the course to help his players better control their nutrition. “In the three [practice] days we’ve spent with the undergrad students, it fits with the university mission of just checking on other undergrads,” Duffy said. “Some might think that since they haven’t graduated yet, they don’t know what they’re doing, but it’s a great experience to learn. Ronnie has a great group of students.” The Applied Nutrition Services course will continue to educate and workshop with the rugby team during the spring semester with a new group of students aiding the team in becoming healthier athletes.

Tucson Film Five things to enjoy with family Festival opens with sci-fi
FAMILY WEEKEND
BY VICTORIA PEREIRA @vguardie917
Family Weekend is upon us yet again. For those looking for some fun ways to spend time with family in Tucson, here’s a list of five things to do over the weekend.
FILE PHOTO/THE DAILY WILDCAT
HEATHER NEWBERRY/THE DAILY WILDCAT
Visit Gates Pass From the majestic mountain ranges surrounding the city to the vast expanses of desert peppered with cacti of all shapes and sizes, Tucson has a handful of incredible scenic wonders. One of the best places this natural beauty shows off is Gates Pass. Just a 25-minute drive west of campus, Gates Pass is the perfect place to bring family who isn’t familiar with the beauty of the desert, and it also features hiking trails for those who enjoy staying active — just remember to pack sunscreen. Cheer on the Wildcats sports teams It wouldn’t be Family Weekend without a home football game. This year the Arizona Wildcats play the UCLA Bruins Saturday, Oct. 14 at 6 p.m. There are a handful of other sporting events happening throughout the weekend too. UA Volleyball plays the University of Utah at 6 p.m. Friday and the University of Colorado Sunday at 1 p.m. Men’s swimming will hold an intrasquad meet throughout Saturday. The women’s tennis invitational also runs all weekend long. Students who have a ZonaZoo pass can get into any of these events for free with their CatCard. Enjoy some good food Tucson has the unique distinction of being the first city in the U.S. to earn the Capital of Gastronomy title from UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network list. The sheer number of restaurants in the city representing cultures from around the world is extensive, but there’s much more contributing to the city’s food scene. The community supports local farmers at numerous regular farmer’s markets, and many restaurants use locally farmed goods in their dishes. With such food diversity city wide — the only difficult part will be deciding where to go.

COURTESY SLAUGHTERHOUSE
Check out the UA art scene Artists have flocked to Tucson as the city’s art scene has grown, and today the university is an art hub. For starters, consider the ever-changing UA Museum of Art. One of the many collections featured now is “La Frontera: Selected Works of Erin Currier,” an exhibit about the dream of freedom and equality shared by our ancestors of all backgrounds. Across the courtyard from UAMA is Marroney Theatre where the Arizona Repertory Theatre will preview “The Addams Family — A New Musical” Sunday, Oct. 15 at 1:30 p.m. Parents, siblings and students alike are sure to love the quirky musical showcasing some of the program’s talented students. Get into the Halloween spirit Now that spooky season is upon us, why not get the whole family in the spirit? The Slaughterhouse haunted house is open for the season and ready to scare the pants off of everyone who walks through the doors. Different ticket types allow access to various rooms and start at $23 for a trip through the four main areas. Old Tucson Studios has also turned its western town spooky for Nightfall, its annual Halloween event. Featuring numerous attractions and shows with a variety of fright rankings, there’s something spooky for the whole family beginning at $28 with discounts available for groups. For those who are a bit more faint of heart, there is StorySLAM: Jeepers Creepers, a public storytelling event hosted by Damascus Road Tucson at the Park Student Union stage. Listen to participants share their 5-minute scary stories or tell one of your own on Friday night at 7 p.m. Everyone will compete for a spot as one of the top three storytellers and to earn an Amazon gift card as a prize. There are plenty of ways to get your spook on this Family Weekend.

All that was known to the Tucson Film Festival audience about “Everything Beautiful is Far Away” was that it was a science fiction film about a man, a girl and a robot looking for a lake in the midst of a desert. Directed by Pete Ohs, “Everything Beautiful is Far Away” follows Lernert, played by Joseph Cross, who is a lonely desert dweller is searching for parts to reassemble his robotic travel companion, Susan. Lenert saves Rola, a city-dwelling girl played by Julia Garner, from being killed by poisonous vegetation and the two begin their journey together to find a prophesized lake in the middle of a vast, seemingly endless desert. Lenert’s analytical nature and survival-centric mentality regularly clashes with Rola’s curiosity and spontaneity. Despite their differences, it is clear how much they care for each other. “Physical and symbolic isolation perfectly encapsulate modern concerns in this feature that is both thoughtfully sparse and rich with details,” wrote Drea Clark, an independent film producer, when describing the film for Film Independent. Ohs has not said publicly what the final budget for the film was, but it is low compared to the blockbusters moviegoers think of when they hear “science fiction.” From the use of one main location to the mechanics of Susan the robot, Ohs and his team fit the science fiction theme to what they could do with their budget. “Everything Beautiful is Far Away” was the special presentation film at this year’s Tucson Film Festival and there’s only more to come in this movie-packed weekend. The festival boasts a selection of feature films, documentaries and short films spanning every genre. On Friday, Oct. 6 the festival will officially open for its 13th year with “The Song of Sway Lake.” A story about a man and his friend trying to find an incredibly valuable vinyl record in his grandmother’s house, the film is sure to start the festival off on a high note. Several of the films showing throughout the weekend will feature their filmmakers in attendance for Q&A’s with the community after the screenings, including Rick Darge, the director behind this year’s dreamy centerpiece film, “Zen Dog.” The short film “Duo” was directed by UA alumnus Roman Arriola. “Over the years we’ve shown over 60 University of Arizona alumni-produced films and probably have had over 100 student volunteers from the film, theater and television department,” said Michael Toubassi, the Tucson Film Festival director. On Sunday night the festival will close with “Cortez,” a drama about a man trying to rekindle a relationship with his lost love and being forced to confront the demons of his past in the process.

FAMILY WEEKEND MOVIE PICKS BY KACIE LILLEJORD @DailyWildcat
In recognition of family, the Daily Wildcat has selected films for family, about family and how it may drive you crazy but will always have your back. Each of these films represent the strength of bonds among family, from parents and their children to extended relatives.
“UNCLE BUCK”
“FIELD OF DREAMS”
“WE BOUGHT A ZOO”
“NO RESERVATIONS”
This 1989 family comedy stars John Candy as Uncle Buck, a raunchy relative that finds himself in suburbia when his brother and sister-in-law leave to tend to an ill relative, leaving him in charge of their three children. Tia, played by Jean Louisa Kelly, is 15 and angry with being forced to move from Indianapolis to the Chicago suburbs. Ultimately, it’s Buck to the rescue when Tia starts heading down a wayward path. This film’s heartwarming message is that, even if your relatives are crazy or embarrassing, they’ll come through for you in the end. You can watch this film with Amazon Video or Netflix DVD.
Another 1989 classic, this film stars Kevin Costner as Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella, who hears the immortal words “If you build it, he will come.” In his own interpretation, Ray plows down his cornfields to build a baseball field, an idea many believe is insane. This crazy dream turns into a beautiful reality as the ghosts of past famous baseball players begin playing games on the field, and you can’t see them unless you believe. This journey also brings a sense of peace for Ray, as the ghost of his father, played by Dwier Brown, appears as his young self. Family is the central theme of this film. You can watch this film with Amazon Video or Netflix DVD.
Based on a true story, the film follows Benjamin Mee, played by Matt Damon, and his family. In the film, Benjamin recently loses his wife and is raising his two children on his own. Benjamin decides to start anew and begins looking for a new place to live. The place they find is ultimately a zoo, which Benjamin works tirelessly to reopen. Benjamin must win the trust of the zoo employees, scramble to remain financially stable and help his son. This touching story is about a family finding a way to move on following a tragic loss and striding through their newest adventure. You can watch this film with Amazon Video or Netflix DVD.
Catherine Zeta-Jones stars as Kate, an organized and intimidating head chef in a New York City restaurant. Her fast-paced environment changes rapidly after her sister dies in a car accident. She suddenly becomes the guardian of her niece, Zoe, played by Abigail Breslin, and struggles to make changes while dealing with her grief. Kate learns to love and let go in this romantic comedy-drama as she learns to open her heart and to become a parental figure for Zoe. This film best represents the lengths family will go to for one another, as Kate tries to make a good life for her niece. You can watch this film with Amazon video or stream on Netflix.
“THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU”
“MRS. DOUBTFIRE”
“BLENDED”
“COMMANDO”
This hilarious film centers around the Altman family, particularly Judd Altman, played by Jason Bateman. Judd’s life unravels at the seams following his wife’s affair with his boss, and he returns home to attend his father’s funeral and sit Shiva with his family. Featuring Tina Fey, Adam Driver and Corey Stoll as his siblings and Jane Fonda as his mother, he finds that his life is not the only one with problems. This film reminds us that family — having known you long enough — is blatantly honest and unapologetic, will call you out, can offer the best insight into your life and ultimately, have your back. You can watch this film with Amazon Video or Netflix DVD.
Robin Williams stars as Mrs. Doubtfire, aka Daniel Hillard in disguise. He resorts to untraditional methods to see his children every day after his wife Miranda, played by Sally Field, files for divorce and the judge grants her custody of their three children until Daniel can adequately provide for them on his own. Miranda puts an ad in the paper for a housekeeper, and the charade begins, with both heartwarming and heartwrenching results. Yet, Williams keeps the tone lighthearted. In this film, we see that sometimes even divorce offers a better means of life, that a family separated can still be happy and can still be a family. You can watch this film with a STARZ subscription or via Netflix DVD.
Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler star as single parents that initially despise each other but, through a funky series of circumstances end up on the same African vacation together — during which wind up falling in love. Of course, this doesn’t come without its challenges, especially when it comes to their children, who are wary of their respective parents dating someone they don’t know. This romantic comedy shows us that families are not always made, but chosen — after all, family doesn’t always end in blood. You can watch this film with Amazon Video or Netflix DVD.
Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as John Matrix, a retired Special Forces Colonel who finds himself back in the action when he must chase after the mercenaries that have kidnapped his daughter Jenny, played by Alyssa Milano. Of course, being Arnold Schwarzenegger, there’s plenty of gunfire and explosions, and even a scene in which he drops a guy headfirst over a ledge. Perhaps an extreme example of familial loyalty, it’s nice to know that, when push comes to shove and we’re ever kidnapped by mercenaries, our parents will take out everything and everyone to get us back. You can watch this film with a STARZ subscription or via Netflix DVD.

MUSIC APPS
Season Opening Event FLICKR/VERKEORG/(CC BY-SA 2.0)
THERE ARE A VARIETY of music apps for students to choose from to stream music, some of which offer a student discount.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13 AT 8PM Centennial Hall
What tunes to choose? OPINION
BY ALY CANTOR @DailyWildcat
N
owadays, there are many different music apps available, including Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud, Amazon Music and Tidal. How does one decide which is right for them? I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer, but I’m here to help by comparing the two most popular: Apple Music and Spotify. The two apps have many similar features, but they’re set apart by a few key differences. When it comes to similarities, Apple Music and Spotify both cost about the same, $9.99 a month or $4.99 a month with a student discount. Both allow you to listen to radio stations sorted by genres. This means you can find a radio for studying, sleeping or chilling. Last but not least, these apps both let you customize your own playlists with songs of your choosing. I’m an avid user of Apple Music, but in doing my research, I’m thinking twice about it. This app is for iPhone users and allows access to every song in the iTunes store. I first started using Apple Music when Drake released “Views” a year and a half ago, and I’ve loved it since. Users can add new songs and customize music by genres, artists and songs you like. After users select a few songs/artists from each category, the app curates related playlists and radios in a special section called
“For You.” Apple Music doesn’t offer a free option like Spotify, so it’s all or nothing. The songs downloaded don’t need Wi-Fi to play, which decreases the amount of data being used. Lastly, and most importantly, certain artists have a contract with Apple Music. That is a huge plus for Apple Music users since they get the first chance the listen to select songs. Now let’s talk Spotify. Although the price for students is $5 a month, a free option is available. The main differences between free and subscription are a limited number of skips and advertisements between songs. Spotify allows users to follow friends, like and share their songs and see who they follow. This allows stress-free accessibility to new songs. Another unique feature is called “workout mode,” which finds the tempo of your workout and plays songs to match. “Discover Weekly” also shows up on your homepage every Monday with new songs based on what you listen to. Spotify has a desktop version, meaning users can play songs from their phone, computer and Amazon devices such as Alexa. Users can also download songs for when they’re offline. After weighing the pros and cons of Apple Music and Spotify, I think the winner is clear. Although one simply can’t go wrong with either, Spotify gives users the biggest bang for their buck. — Aly Cantor is a freshman who’s ready to make the switch to Spotify
KC and The Sunshine Band gave a voice to a generation, helped define an entire culture and continue to make an impact today. Led by Harry Wayne “KC” Casey, the group was formed in 1973 with one single purpose: to create instant happiness through music – and the group has done just that, topping the charts with singles including “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Get Down Tonight,” and “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty.”

This weekend: Tucson Meet Yourself BY KATELYN CALDWELL @kcaldwell_DW
This October marks 44 years of culture and tradition at Tucson Meet Yourself. This annual folklife festival has taken place in Downtown Tucson since 1974 when it was founded by Dr. James Griffith, a University of Arizona anthropologist. Over 100,000 people attend this threeday festival each year to experience the traditional arts of Southern Arizona’s and Northern Mexico’s diverse communities. According to the TMY website, the focus of this year’s festival is to present local communities that carry on living traditions. The goal of TMY is to “research, document, interpret and present the living traditional arts and expressions of everyday life of the folk and ethnic communities of the multi-national Arizona-Sonora region,” according to the TMY website. It costs around $360,000 dollars to
produce this annual festival, which is free for everyone to attend. Attendees are, however, asked to donate. There are several areas throughout the festival that accept donations. UA’s Compost Cats will also return to this year’s festival to help convert waste. TMY makes an effort to recycle and collect compost, in order to be as sustainable as possible. According to the TMY website, over 20,000 pounds of waste are generated by festival attendees and vendors each year. The Compost Cats collect the compost throughout the event, averaging about 5,280 pounds of food waste diverted from the landfill to be turned to compost each year. Here are some of the attractions featured at the festival: Food Vendors Fifty-eight Tucson-based food vendors have been selected to participate in this year’s festival.
Food vendors cover all corners of the globe, ranging from Eurasian cuisine to Caribbean meals to world street snacks. Folk Arts Several folk artists will be set up along Church Street Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Church Street Pavilion will also feature the art of Pascua Yaqui Nation artists. The Church Street area will feature a variety of art from various cultures worldwide. Performances A total of 100 music, dance and storytelling acts are scheduled to perform at this year’s festival across three stages. This is the first year the festival will host a guest artist component of artists who “are masters of their art forms who represent exemplary commitments to heritage music, popular social dance and music, and traditional arts and folklore,” according to the TMY website.
THE DETAILS WHEN: Friday, Oct. 13 from 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14 from 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15 from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. WHERE: Various locations downtown, including El Presidio Park, Jacome Library Plaza, Pennington Street and Church Street COST: Free, but donations are accepted Tucson Meet Yourself is an alcoholfree event. Attendees are, however, welcome to bring their furry companions.

BY TONI MARCHEVA @DailyWildcat
S
everal times, my own experience has shown me where the UA has fallen short on providing necessities to students, and although the effects on me were relatively minor, these problems should be addressed. 1. Where are the water fountains in Fred Fox School of Music? I went to the UA Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony concert on Sept. 19, and as the beautiful 12 minutelong piece was wrapping up, I drank the last of my water. There was a brief intermission between the groups, so I went to go fill up my water bottle. I thought there’d be one somewhere down the main hallways as the UA has plentiful fountains
on campus, but I only found a community choir rehearsal. The semester before, I had a class on the farthest back corner of the building and I knew a path to a water fountain from there. I went down the usual path— straight, left, right—but the water fountain wasn’t there. I thought my memory must have failed, so I began running through all the hallways on the ground floor, trying to find this ever-elusive water fountain. I learned a few days later from a friend, complaining about the lack of water fountains in the building, that the school had taken out the fountain I was looking for. Lightbulb! There was a water fountain in the basement. I flew down the stairs, ran through the halls and dramatically connected my water bottle with the spout. Nothing came out. It was broken. I ran up the stairs to the bathroom. I tried shoving the bottle under the sink in all the ways I could think, but it
wouldn’t fit. At that point, I looked at my hands, deemed them clean enough and began scooping water into my mouth. I entered the auditorium, barely missing the start of the next group, water still dripping from my face. I wonder why a school of music in Arizona would make water so hard to come by, when the college has so many other fountains on campus. 2. What is wrong with the lights on Historic Lane? Since I moved into Yuma Hall last year, I’ve joked about how the lights on Historic Lane are reverse motion sensors. Three times out of four, a light goes out as a person walks by, leaving this person in darkness on the already dim street. Last weekend, I was walking back to my hall from Maricopa at night. A man was approaching me, and between us was a streetlight. The light went out and because of my bad night vision, I could not really
see the man anymore. He walked toward the wall that protects Maricopa’s courtyard. He passed another light in the grass, and it too went off. I saw him standing on a bench, peering over the wall and looking ready to climb over. However, when he looked back and saw that I was behind him, he decided to get off of the bench and head out of Historic Lane. The inconsistency of these lights bothers residents and makes them feel unsafe at night. I understand now — they make it impossible to be aware of one’s own surroundings. 3. Why isn’t there more direction to find ADA access? I decided one day to see if it was possible to rollerblade to all of my classes. The last place I needed to go was a below-ground-level courtyard. I went to my normal entrance, looked at the staircase and my rollerblades, thought for a minute about my skill level and decided to
look for another way. I realized then that I was looking for similar access to the courtyard that wheelchair-bound students would be using. I found an entrance to the courtyard that I could take only if I walked my rollerblades over gravel. Along the way, I think there was one sign to guide me, and this did not even get me down into the courtyard. I did have one experience where I saw this affect a student who needed the access. She asked me for help and I had no idea where to direct her. She must have been confused and frustrated. Many of our buildings added wheelchair access long after they were built, but it doesn’t mean that students should have to guess where the access areas are. The university needs to add more signs to direct students who really need it. — Toni Marcheva is a sophomore honors student majoring in philosophy, politics, economics and law

Nasty Women exhibit comes to Bentley’s At Bentley’s House of Coffee and Tea, artists will showcase work critical of the current political climate throughout the month of October, with proceeds from sold artwork donated to Planned Parenthood BY BREAGH WATSON @breaghwatson
Through the month of October, the Nasty Women Exhibition will showcase local artists’ work at Bentley’s House of Coffee and Tea for the “Pussy Power: Planned Parenthood Art Show.” All proceeds from the art sales will benefit Planned Parenthood Arizona. The “nasty woman” phrase emerged when President Donald Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton to call her a “nasty woman” during the third presidential debate. Within moments, #NastyWoman began trending on Twitter. Since then, the phrase has started a new movement and acquired a new meaning of unity for women across the country. The Nasty Women Exhibition is just one example of this movement. According to the organization’s national website, “Nasty Women is a global art movement that serves to demonstrate solidarity among artists who identify with being a Nasty Woman in the face of threats to roll back women’s rights, individual rights and abortion rights.” The national Nasty Women movement was started in New York City by a group of female artists and curators who wanted to raise money and awareness for women’s rights. The first exhibition was held in Queens, New York City in January 2017 and raised $42,000 for Planned Parenthood, according to its website. Other satellite shows have been held in U.S. cities like Chicago, Boston and Salt Lake City and across the world in places like Portugal, Belgium and Germany. The Nasty Women Exhibit moved to Tucson in April 2017 with a show at Borderlands Brewing Company. In the weekendlong art show, the group donated 100 percent of its $15,000 profit to Planned Parenthood Arizona. “After I agreed to put [a satellite exhibit] on in Tucson, I realized I knew nothing about art or curating or directing,” said Katya Karankevich, executive director of the Nasty Women Exhibit Tucson. “I guess in the end that didn’t matter, as artists flooded me with submissions of all sorts of amazing works.” After the success of the first event, the second month-long event was organized at Bentley’s House of Coffee and Tea to continue to raise money for Planned Parenthood Arizona. Art for sale will
be on display for the entire month of October, with new pieces going up as others are sold. “We have nudes, vaginas, female empowerment, landscapes, babies, abstracts, butts, custom buttons, flowers, trans themes, pregnancy, posters, penises, portraits,” Karankevich said. “All month long, we will be able to look at one wall of just Trump and dick art. We have Planned Parenthood scarves as well.” Planned Parenthood, an organization committed to sexual health for both women and men, has faced political attacks for decades. Under the Trump administration, Planned Parenthood faced defunding in one form of the ACA repeal bill. According to Planned Parenthood’s website, 2.4 million people in the United States visit a Planned Parenthood affiliate center in a year. Planned Parenthood Arizona serves over 90,000 people in the state through education, health care and advocacy, according to the organization’s website. Karankevich said a memorable moment from the last exhibition was when a “military guy” who was against Planned Parenthood came into Borderlands Brewing Company. “I spoke to him at length about the last time he was tested for dick cancer,” Karankevich said. “He was not aware that dick cancer even existed or how many types there were. I told him he could go get screened for it for free at Planned Parenthood if he cared about his wiener, balls and prostate.” Karankevich said that if someone believes women deserve bodily autonomy, they should support the Nasty Women Exhibition’s cause. “If you think that people should be able to decide for themselves when and where they want to start a family, this event is for you,” Karankevich said. “If you are interested in growing your pussy power, come see this show at Bentley’s. If we can keep resisting the oppressive White House regime that wants to outlaw abortion and defund Planned Parenthood by showing up to this tiny event, it will have been a success.” Bentley’s House of Coffee and Tea is located at 1730 E. Speedway Blvd. The art exhibit will accept art on a rolling basis until the last week of October. To submit art or to get more information, contact nastywomentucson@gmail.com.

Adia Barnes and husband Salvo Coppa create a family environment on and off the court BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
Athletes have often looked at their teams as a family, a home away from home of sorts. When it comes to Adia Barnes and husband Salvo Coppa, the basketball court might as well be their living room. The only difference is instead of solely being responsible for their 2-year-old son, Matteo, they also incorporate an extended family, with which they spend a majority of their time: The Arizona women’s basketball team. Barnes is in her second year as head coach with Coppa by her side every step of the way. The dynamic is not unusual to the Pac-12, with several coaches having their significant others occupying the bench next to them. What is unusual is the chemistry between the two. Coppa comes from Spain and Barnes from San Diego, California. The European way of life is more intimate, filled with more personal touching than Americans are used too. It’s a form of communication, but one that Barnes affectionately avoids each appearance in the public eye. This, you’d think, would make it difficult to be around each other constantly, but there is a clear line when they are at work. “I mean, I love holding Salvo’s hand, but you’ll never see us holding hands or kiss in McKale,” Barnes said. “When I leave for a week-long road trip in the office, I don’t go up and give Salvo a kiss. I probably should, [but] in the office we just don’t. In the office, we’re both very professional … I really take into consideration my staff and how they feel.” Coaxing Barnes to explain their relationship is not easy, though she smiles when detailing how the two met and that at home the environment is different, basketball is not involved. Home is an escape, a chance to reconnect with their son and spend time together before regrouping in preparation for the next day. It is those intimate moments between a husband and wife that no one will ever see, the

moments that keep the bonds of their marriage strong. Barnes and Coppa don’t go into great detail about their long-lasting romance, but assistant coach Morgan Valley will. Valley has been friends with Barnes for the past nine years, including during Barnes’ time at Washington. Ironically, it was Valley that was able to get Barnes a coaching position to start her career, and now it is Barnes who hired Valley as soon as former assistant Kelly Finley departed for Florida. So Valley has a fond memory when
finding out about their relationship years ago. “We were in a gym in Georgia; it was the first time I met him [Coppa]. I had heard about him from Adia,” Valley said. “Back then he didn’t really know me, and he was just so handsome. I kept telling her how handsome he was; he got all embarrassed. She kept telling me, “You’re embarrassing him,” but I was like, “I know I am, I’m doing it on purpose.” Valley’s expression is evidence enough that she believes in the
two and their relationship. Having Barnes reinforce the handsome factor is validation that Valley speaks the truth. Barnes said she was attracted to Coppa because of his good looks, especially in a suit, and his accent. She said over 10 years they have grown closer and they’ve never been tighter as a family. What Barnes and Coppa have together is unique, made more so by a dynamic in the offices of McKale Center that clearly defines the roles between the two, head coach and assistant. Coppa occupies
the smallest office in the women’s basketball department, out of sight from Barnes for a calculated reason: There is no preferential treatment. Preferential treatment is designated for her players, and that is where it will remain. “You really wouldn’t notice, Adia doesn’t treat him any differently than she would treat us,” Valley said. “He is actually one of the few males I have worked with in this profession with no ego.”

ollege is a time where most students experience some of the best times of their lives. I have been fortunate to experience college with family right by my side, for our family has a special relationship with the University of Arizona. My father Rich, is the head football coach for the Wildcats, I am a Cheerleader for the University and my brother, Rhett, is a freshman quarterback on the football team. My mother, Rita stays extremely involved, and is the glue that keeps us together. She keeps everything in perspective and at the end of the day she makes sure everyone is okay. As a result of my father’s profession in college coaching my childhood and family lifestyle has always been a little unique compared to others. My family and I have moved around the country living in five different states, West Virginia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Michigan and finally Arizona. Although all the moving around as a child and teenager was difficult, it only brought my family closer. I was 16 years old when my family made the move to Arizona and while I was extremely excited for my father to start coaching at a new place I was very nervous to be leaving the east coast. Tucson and the community was so welcoming to our family I knew I found a new home and wanted to attend the University of Arizona.
A week in the life of the Rodriguez family during football is extremely busy, but a fun type of chaos. The week is full of preparations for the upcoming game, practices, workouts, game planning and the making of the famous nacho dip award given to a football player each week. This tradition was started by my mother back at West Virginia University. Two players receive the dip who have overcome adversity at some point during their college career. Saturday night football games have a special place in my heart. One of my favorite parts of game day is being able to see each one of my family members take part in the Wildcat Walk and give them a huge hug. After a great win we come home and rewatch the game to relive that moment once again, but if we lose we go home and erase the recording of the game and move on to the next week. In addition to all of those things, the top priority here at the university for my brother and I is school. Although there is no true off season in college football, we manage to find a couple weeks during the summer to vacation at Lake Oconee in Georgia. When in Georgia, we enjoy boating, swimming, golfing and playing with our furry family members, our dogs, Roxie and Rambo. Roxie and Rambo are the newest additions to the Rodriguez family and are most definitely the cutest. No matter what the circumstances their unconditional love and loyalty always puts a smile on all of our faces. Like all families we have ups and downs, good times and bad times, but the strength of our family is in each other and we would not have it any other way.

Tate’s prior experience vital 2nd time around Khalil Tate struggled in his first start against USC a year ago; this time he’s getting his first start of the season against UCLA. Will it be any better? BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
Khalil Tate may have just saved Arizona football. In a very Drew Bledsoe to Tom Brady like situation, Tate came in for a banged-up Brandon Dawkins during Saturday night’s game at Colorado and never looked back.His performance was legendary. It was recordbreaking and a jolt that the football program needed in the worst way. Tate didn’t simply save the season for the Wildcats, he may have just saved head coach Rich Rodriguez’s job. Did he energize the fan base? That remains to be seen, but the preliminary reports on social media suggest he may have. Even big names like LeBron James were blown away by Tate and his 327 rushing yards, the most of any quarterback in a single game in NCAA history. There was a certain “told you so” mantra during the game on Twitter from those who have been clamoring for Tate to get his shot. He did, and they did, feeling justified in their belief that Tate was indeed the missing link to fix a program trending in the wrong direction. But the glamorous life of the backup quarterback can be short-lived. If anyone knows that, it is Tate. Just a year ago, Tate was thrust into the starting lineup and produced one of the more anemic performances STAN LIU/ ARIZONA ATHLETICS
in some time, going 7-for-18 for 58 yards and one interception against USC — a USC team that had a redshirt sophomore by the name of Sam Darnold pick apart the UA defense. Tate would be benched in favor of a tight end on the way to a 48-14 beat down from the soon-to-be Rose Bowl Champions. “I’m more confident, more understandable about the game and more knowledgeable,” Tate said during post-game comments on Arizona Athletics’ website in response to what is different this year versus his lone start against USC a year ago. The scenarios couldn’t play out any better for the sophomore. Again, he will be thrust into the starting lineup and again will face a team from Southern California, and again he will face a top quarterback prospect in UCLA’s Josh Rosen. Yes, Josh Rosen, the quarterback that single-handedly started the downfall of the Wildcats in front of a national television audience on ABC two years ago. ESPN College Gameday was here; the millions of people around the country were here; the only thing that wasn’t were Tate and the entire UA team. It was a bludgeoning that appeared to be the beginning of the end before this past Saturday. “Certainly our guys know how important this game is coming up,” Rodriguez said. “We haven’t played well, really in any year against these guys [UCLA], and I think our guys are anxious to put on a better performance against a really talented UCLA team.” Tate wasn’t long on words after the game — short answers, quick and simple, in many ways like
his performance. Tate exploited Colorado’s penchant for being out of position with quick bursts through the hole and a straight-to-the-point sprint to the end zone. Tate has a chance to make Arizona relevant once again. No better opportunity than now to return the hope back to the Wildcat faithful. No one had ever done what Tate did Saturday night in Boulder. The Altitude, the opposing crowd and not even a recovered Dawkins could stop the onslaught that was coming the Buffaloes’ way. Tate didn’t do it all on his own, an important note to make. The blocking from the offensive line was the best it had been all season, and the blocking from wide receivers was even better. On several runs, receiver Tony Ellison can be seen blocking the same man yards down the field to give his quarterback an opportunity to score. On Tate’s longest run, 75 yards, multiple receivers were downfield as he slowed down to set up blocks. J.J. Taylor, who earlier in the play was shoved by Tate to provide leverage and jump to the outside, can be seen sprinting down past Tate only to slow up and get in the way of a pursuing defender. This was no doubt a team effort. “The one thing that was overlooked was probably the downfield blocking from our wideouts,” Rodriguez said. “Really selfless, they did a great job and we needed every bit of it.” Moving forward, the results in Boulder can not be taken away, but a failure to build upon them will make a great moment fade away along with the Tucson heat.

year, Dahlke has been a valuable player for the Wildcats, but it wasn’t until her sophomore year that she showed what she was made of. Dahlke had her breakout season then and was a primary offensive weapon for the ‘Cats. She saw a 2.5 kill jump from her freshman year, averaging 3.97 kills per set. Dahlke ended the season with 496 kills, which was the most on the on the team and ninth most in Arizona history. Coming off a strong sophomore season, Dahlke found herself struggling to get back in the grove as a junior. The 2017 season started slowly for Dahlke, and her mind started blocking her from showing her skills on the court. “I think a lot of it has been my own brain and knowing that we were going to be a new team, and it was obviously something I was frustrated and worried about in the back of my head,” Dahlke said. “So I was always thinking that I needed to do more, but instead I needed to focus on myself.”

with a torn labrum and ended up earning Most Value Player during her high school championships. But while Dahlke was recovering and constantly training, she found herself in a constant battle with her own mind. “After that, I had a lot of work to do because I was coming back from that injury,” Dahlke said. “I saw other players making big steps as athletes, and I felt like I was trying to catch up. I’ve always had a chip on my shoulder, literally.” Her injury didn’t stop her from getting multiple college offers from UCLA, North Carolina, Ohio State, Kansas, Oregon State and Arizona. “I chose Arizona because of the team and the coaching staff, and of course the beautiful campus,” Dahlke said. “Dave has been here for 26 years, and he is a great coach. So I’ve always had great coaches and wanted to continue that into college. It was super important to me.” It has been a rollercoaster ride for Dahlke at Arizona. Since her freshman

Arizona volleyball outside hitter Kendra Dahlke brings more to the team than just a powerful arm; she brings leadership and guidance. After being the youngest player on the team during the 2016 season, Dahlke had to make adjustments both mentally and physically to become the leader on the court for her teammates. Growing up in Bonsall, California, Dahlke didn’t know about the sport of volleyball. Instead, she played basketball for many years and loved every part of it. Basketball was the first sport Dahlke was interested in and serious about, due to her father, David Dahlke, who played basketball in college at Minnesota and Drake. When entering middle school, Dahlke was introduced to volleyball by her P.E. teacher, Cindy Lloyd. Lloyd is the mother of Carli Lloyd, who competed as a setter for Team USA in the 2016 Olympic Games. “[Lloyd] saw me on campus and noticed my height,” Dahlke said. “She made me go to tryouts and give it a try, and she was super encouraging about it. I was really hesitant going into tryouts, and I sucked. I didn’t know what to do with the ball; I didn’t know anything.” Lloyd worked with Dahlke on her basic skills and put her on the varsity team right away, but Dahlke had a lot of learning to do. She continued to progress and realized that her love for basketball soon faded and volleyball took over. “The coaches I had and my teammates were the reason why I went with volleyball, and it all started from the beginning with Cindy Lloyd to my club coaches and now to Dave Rubio.” Dahlke’s volleyball career took off in high school, where she played on varsity all four years, but during her senior year, she tore her labrum in her shoulder. Her injury didn’t stop her, as she played
Dahlke realized that when she is playing well during matches, it helped the rest of her teammates. She learned through her ups and downs that she needs to focus on what she can control and then use that to help her teammates. “Kendra is really self-imposed,” Rubio said. “The way she goes mentally is the way she will go physically. If she can manage her frustration, then she can be very solid. When she is good, it makes it easier for everyone around our team to function at a higher level when she stays in her consistent state.” Dahlke has realized how to control her mind and manage her frustration on the court, which has helped her improve this season and become a strong leader. “Sometimes, I feel like I’m playing mom out there, but I cant get frustrated with my team,” Dahlke said. “I always get frustrated with myself more than anything, and when my team makes mistakes, I am here to encourage them. This is a different role than what I played last year, being the young one on the court to now the oldest one.” On the court, you can see Dahlke giving advice and encouraging the freshman, including middle blocker Candice Denny. “I consider Kendra as a big sister, so I look up to her. She helps lead me and guide me at the net, telling me what to look out for, and it helps prepare me to play the game so I can do better,” Denny said. Taking on the leadership role was unexpected for Dahlke, as she always felt like she was behind in the sport, but she knows the nerves that come with being a freshman and wants to be the teammate the young girls can go to when they need guidance. “Having someone that you can lean on when you’re out there will help you not only play better but feel more confident in yourself,” Dahlke said. “I can be that person they can come to when they are struggling and be there for encouragement.”

Sports, the final Trump frontier OPINION
BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
I
could care less about color in this world. I have a black father and a white mother and experienced just as much racism from both sides. Neither one is better than the other through my lens. Sports was a getaway for a majority of my life, whether playing or watching. It is the one platform that has no bias; it doesn’t care if you are black, white, Muslim, Christian, male or female; it has no agenda. Then Donald Trump added his two cents. I admit, I was oblivious to the world. As a Sports Editor here at the Daily Wildcat, I refused to acknowledge the world around me that was filled with so much negativity and tragedy. I used to support our presidents no matter what. I believe they have the toughest job imaginable; every decision they make has an effect on someone. I don’t envy whoever takes on that role in the Oval Office. I spent 12 years of my life supporting the Constitution of the United States and obeying the orders of the officers appointed over me, including the Commander-inChief. Half of my career was spent under the Bush administration and half the Obama administration, and neither one had a particularly large impact on me. But
the divisive comments from our current president place a decisive stain on the glory and respect of the highest role in our country. Taking a knee was meant to bring light to a systemic oppression of black people, which instead has turned into an attack on America in some people’s eyes. Comments flooded social media the past two weekends, and it was awful. The one common theme to those who complained about the display was that they refused to understand why. I say refused because if someone truly took the time to engage in discussion, they’d realize these athletes love this country just as much as them. It doesn’t make you more American to scream and boo someone willing to take a stand and kneel against social injustice; it makes you a hypocrite. The failure to understand why these athletes are engaging in this during a televised football game is the exact reason as to why they are: You wouldn’t pay attention otherwise. The dialogue was supposed to have taken place after countless black men were killed at the hands of renegade cops, but it has since been pushed aside. Cops and first responders are great for our communities; they keep us safe. Outliers are the problem; the only discussion regarding the police was about them. Being a veteran doesn’t mean you can refuse the right to allow people to express
POLITICS IN SPORTS, A47
There IS a superior intelligence “out there” — and a loving one too. Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don’t be deceived by evolutionism. All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil. Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/ needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible? For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 11:11-12, Isaiah 43:5-6, Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:710, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 - 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2 Peter 3:8/Hosea 5:14 - 6:2. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified parallel bible (book) or KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com), and for a strict literal translation try Young’s Literal. “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1Corinthians 2:9 , John 14:15, Psalm 14:1)!

W i l dcat y l i a D Name: Alec White Hometown: Vail, AZ Major: Journalism COURTESY ADIA BARNES
ADIA BARNES, LEFT, AND husband Salvo Coppa, right, pose with their son, Matteo.
WILDCAT FAMILY FROM PAGE A40
Quietly, Barnes and her staff have developed an environment suitable for any daughter in the country to feel comfortable — academics, athletics, support and a family-like atmosphere that separates Arizona from so many others. A lot of coaches in the country say their program is a family. Barnes and Coppa are examples that they live it and share that with each recruit. It has aided in a big way to advance the talent of a once down-trodden program in a hurry. Barnes currently has the No. 2-ranked recruiting class in the country for next season; couple that with a stable of transfers who produced at prior Power Five conference schools and the Wildcats have the makings of a program on the rise. “It’s not that easy when you have 35– 40 schools offering you the same thing,” Valley said. “But coach [Barnes] is the best recruiter I’ve been around because she cares. She really, really cares. It’s not just smoke and mirrors. She means things when she says them. She checks in on the players, it’s not just the assistants doing that. She is in contact with our players on a daily basis. I think people feel that, parents feel that and they trust that she is going to take care of their child for the next four years.” That statement alone is enough to make someone stop in their tracks. Valley was part of four Final Fours and three National Championship teams at UCONN with head coach Geno Auriemma. She was also part of his staff at one time, so labeling Barnes as the
best recruiter is no light statement. Their nurturing style isn’t fake; often times, their son Matteo would be taken on road trips to avoid days without seeing him. It is all about family for the two. Each person brought into the program has had thier character and contribution to the team calculated. In essence, each player and coach becomes an aunt or uncle to a young boy growing up with his parents in the public eye. It is this type of buy-in that has Arizona one of the more unlikely destinations for any young basketball player. “He is a very good dad, and he is very good with Matteo. We’re both really involved,” Barnes said. “We both take him to daycare, and a lot of times we’ll take him together, just because it is important to us. He is only 2 once. … It’s great for the players because they get to see us in a different setting. They get to see me having to work and having to be a mom and that you can do it. I think it’s really great mentoring.” Their relationship in terms of husband and wife is no different than any other family trying to make it through a crazy world. The circumstances of their work environment are different, sure, but the perspective they have in trying to raise two families, one personal and one basketball, is very similar. It is all about equalling everything out. “I am the one who makes the sacrifice,” Coppa said jokingly. “Balance is very important. I don’t believe that getting up at 6 in the morning and starting to talk about basketball until midnight is healthy. It’s not healthy for your job, not healthy for your relationship.”

POLITICS IN SPORTS FROM PAGE A45
themselves peacefully in protest. In fact, I would argue you should have the moral aptitude to encourage it; that is what you served to protect. It also shouldn’t be disrespectful to any veteran to take a knee during the National Anthem, nor is it a slap in the face to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. It is what we signed up for, to provide people with the right to express themselves freely. But this is different, this is a demonstration to bring awareness to a cause that some people in this country would like to ignore. Don’t think so? Think progress can be made without this protest? Has anything been done recently to advance the discussion of racism and oppression in the year since Kaepernick first took a knee? No, at least not enough. Did Kaepernick do everything the right way? No, the pigs on his socks were a detriment to his message and a very bad move — a move that many simply cannot get over. But we can’t get to a discussion about oppression within this country. Instead, we are faced with day-in, day-out assaults from the one person who is supposed to have the decorum to bring people together as best as he can … via Twitter. This isn’t Republican versus Democrat; this is black versus white. Trump stating to a room full of people in Alabama that players taking a knee are sons of bitches was the last straw. His conduct is unbecoming of a president. “I think people have been enabled by an example we’ve been given, you’ve seen it in Charlottesville,” said San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich in a statement in front of the press during the opening day of training camp. “Our country is an embarrassment to the world. … The discussion has to take place. … Race is obviously the elephant in the room. … People have to be made to feel uncomfortable.” The “stick to sports” mantra is no more; it is not possible. Trump made it so. He has seemingly invaded every corner of life and finally reached the one platform where we as sports fans were able to find solace. It has extended beyond just the NFL as well. Trump rescinded an offer to host the world champion Golden State Warriors due to star Steph Curry’s refusal to go. Not exactly taking the high road. “I’ve been fortunate enough to meet President Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton and Obama. I didn’t agree with all of them, but it was easy to set politics aside because each possessed an inherent respect for the office, as well as the humility that comes with being a public servant in an incredible position of power, representing 300 million people,”said Golden State Warriors head coach and former Arizona Wildcat Steve Kerr to the press on the opening day of training camp. “And that’s the problem now. In his tweet to Steph, Trump talked about honoring the White House but, really, isn’t it you who must honor the White House, Mr. President? And the way to do that is through compassion and
dignity and being above the fray, not causing the fray.” Trump has entrenched himself against black athletes from Lebron James to Curry to Kaepernick. He called out former President Obama for his praise of Muslim athletes on Twitter, saying Obama was profiling, forgetting that two of the greatest athletes of our generation were in fact Muslim — Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He attacked the NFL, a league in which 70 percent of players are black, according to Huffington Post, and commended NASCAR, a sport where less than 2 percent of its fan base is black, according to Nielsen ratings in a June article in the Washington Post. To say this isn’t a racial issue would be ignoring every sign Trump has tried to throw in your face. His attack on NFL players was grotesquely overboard compared to the comments about Neo-Nazis protesting, where he said there were “very fine people on both sides.” So when will he come to attack the NCAA? I don’t put anything past him. It’s not enough to worry about health care and the thousands of people in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands struggling to hold onto life. Instead, this man has chosen to redirect his focus to pander to what will bring more satisfaction to his baseline demographic. It is only a matter of time before he attacks academic institutions and the teams that represent them. It’s unfortunate. His message of disrespecting the flag when it comes to taking a knee has blinded so many who can’t see past the “patriotism” banner. It is a cloak, one that gives people the courage to speak out against athletes for demonstrating in the most peaceful way possible without choosing to listen to why they are doing it. To say taking a knee is disrespecting the flag is to admit you know nothing about what the flag stands for. How else should one protest? People have said they agree with the protest but wish they’d do it on their time. What does that even mean? It wouldn’t bring light to the situation if Kaepernick just decided to walk out in his front yard and take a knee with his fist in the air. It’d just be weird. Vice President Mike Pence grandstanding during a day when the most popular Indianapolis Colt of all-time, Peyton Manning, had his name raised to the ring of honor should show you just how much he cares about the NFL outside of attempting to use it for propaganda. Trump didn’t protest the NFL during “his” time; pretty sure he was on the tax payers’ clock. Now, athletes have our attention. But will it mean anything moving forward? I don’t know. It takes humility and discourse to engage in fruitful conversations between two sides, and quite honestly, I am losing faith that this will ever come to be. Nothing in the past year has told me otherwise. So we keep going, keep moving along with the hope that the division within our country will somehow come together and this will be another blip for the history books. My fear is that we have only just begun.
