BROTHER/ SISTER ACT BY Maggie Driver The Daily Wildcat

For some siblings in Greek Life, having a special family connection on campus is another way to strengthen their bond. Jeff Hurley, a management information systems senior, and his younger brother, Tim Hurley, a pre-business sophomore, are roommates living in the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. “We’re like best friends, too,” Tim Hurley said. “We always hang out.” Prior to this year, the brothers had never lived in the same room. There are benefits to sharing a place, though, the brothers said: The costs are lower, and it’s easier because they share a lot of the same amenities, such as a car and a meal plan. In addition to living in the same house and hanging out together, sports have always been a big part of their lives and have allowed them to spend more time with each other.

The Daily Wildcat is an independent student newspaper published Monday through Friday during the fall and spring semesters at the University of Arizona. It is distributed on campus and throughout Tucson with a circulation of 10,000. The function of the Daily Wildcat is to disseminate news to the community and to encourage an exchange of ideas. The Daily Wildcat was founded under a different name in 1899.

The brothers attend UA football and basketball games together. They also played a lot of sports together growing up, such as water polo and golf, they said. “We’ve never really left each other’s side,” Jeff Hurley said. With their fraternity, they participate in philanthropy events to raise money for charities, which they said they look forward to. The brothers said networking is an important part of Greek Life, adding that they have met many people this way. Jeff Hurley said when he came to the UA, it was hard not knowing anyone and rushing a fraternity. “For [Tim], it was easy to get a bid because he’s my brother,” Jeff Hurley said. “It was good support to have him come through — someone I was really close to already, someone I can completely trust and be there for me.” Another group of siblings that have become closer through Greek Life is the Bassin family.

Siblings strengthen family connection by joining Greek Life at the UA

Morgan Bassin, a retailing and consumer sciences sophomore, is in the Alpha Phi sorority with her older sister, Lexi Bassin, a psychology senior. Their younger brother, Aaron Bassin, who is a pre-business freshman, is in the Sigma Chi fraternity. All of the siblings agreed they are a close family. “Having my siblings in Greek Life is another way we can relate to each other,” Aaron Bassin said. The siblings said having each other on campus is nice because they know they have someone to go to. Though Lexi Bassin and Morgan Bassin are in the same sorority, Morgan Bassin said her older sister didn’t influence her decision during rush. “I just wanted to try them all out and see what fit me,” Morgan Bassin said. “I just knew the minute I walked into the house that … I was supposed to be there, regardless of all of her friends or anyone else I had already

known before.” Morgan Bassin said she looks up to her older sister, adding that Lexi Bassin is “definitely someone I aspire to.” Aaron Bassin said he chose to rush in order to have a brotherhood and a college experience, since he doesn’t have brothers. “Being really close to guys and feeling like they’re family was huge for me,” Aaron Bassin said. Because she’s a senior, Lexi Bassin said, it’s especially nice to have her family in Greek Life during her last year at the UA. “I can’t imagine spending my senior year any other way,” Lexi Bassin said. Morgan Bassin said she feels fortunate to have her siblings so close. “We’ve always been a strong family,” Morgan Bassin said. “I’m very lucky to have them here.” — Follow Maggie Driver @Maggie_Driver

being a wildcat is a family affair Three families are keeping close ties at the UA, as UA students study hard while their parents work as faculty and staff. BY Mark Armao

The Daily Wildcat

The O’Rourke family Lee O’Rourke is the coordinator of Parent and Family Programs for the Dean of Students Office. She and her husband, Paul O’Rourke — both UA alumni — raised their children, Jami O’Rourke and Jake O’Rourke, in Tucson, and are now proud to see them attending their parents’

“

alma mater, she said. As the parent of two Wildcats, Lee O’Rourke said she is well equipped to do her job, which entails advising the parents of UA students on how to deal with issues related to their kids’ college experience. “It’s nice because I can relate to a lot of what they’re going through,” she said. “I’m in it right there with them.” Lee O’Rourke said because she knows so much about programs and resources at the UA, she often relays that information to her kids, who said they appreciate the service — to an extent. “I get like eight emails a day from her,” said Jami O’Rourke, an

early childhood education junior. Although the two frequently give their mom a hard time for her hands-on approach, Jake O’Rourke, an undeclared freshman, said they don’t feel like they’re under a microscope. “It’s not like she lets us know every day before class, you know, ‘By the way, I work here, so don’t fail or anything,’” he said. “We already have the mindset to do well in school.” Jami O’Rourke said a benefit of having her mother so close is that she can go to her for support without having to leave campus. “It’s really nice,” she said. “[If ] I get done with class and I had a bad day, I can go to her.”

I just have always loved the UofA. I never really considered going anywhere else.

After graduation, she said, she would like to get out of Tucson and pursue a career as a teacher, and eventually become an elementary school administrator. While he hasn’t decided on a definite career path, Jake O’Rourke said he would like to have a job related to the game of golf, which he’s passionate about. For now, though, the two will continue in their studies at the UA. Jami O’Rourke said she always knew she would attend the university. “I just have always loved the UofA,” she said. “I never really considered going anywhere else.”

Top Right Cindi Gilliland, left, is a professor of practice in Management and Organizations and the mother of Austin Gilliland, right, an economics sophomore. Austin’s father, Stephen, is also a professor for the Eller College of Management.

The Gilliland family Austin Gilliland is an economics and political science sophomore and the son of two professors in the Eller College of Management. Although Austin Gilliland has spent most of his life in Tucson, he and his parents frequently traveled abroad. In fact, Austin Gilliland said he has been to 22 countries and lived on three continents with his parents while they were on summer break or sabbatical. Cindi Gilliland, a professor of practice in the Department of Management and Organizations at Eller College, said she and her husband made a conscious effort to stay out of their son’s hair when he started at the UA. “When Austin began here as a freshman, I promised him that I would leave him alone, give him his space … but he has been reaching out to us,” she said, adding that he texts her often and they occasionally go to lunch together. Austin Gilliland now works in the same building as his parents as a research assistant for the Economic and Business Research Center. He also compiles data on businesses and investments for Downtown Tucson Partnership. Austin Gilliland’s father, Stephen Gilliland, is a professor and the head of the Department of Management and

Organizations. He is currently in Chile working with a mining company to improve its management systems. Despite his parents’ positions, Austin Gilliland said he doesn’t necessarily feel added pressure to succeed academically. “I definitely think that I am expected to do a little better, having grown up hearing this stuff,” he said, “but they don’t put pressure on me. I put more pressure on myself, honestly.” However, the circumstances do present certain challenges, he said. Once, he and his sister tried to unionize against their parents to get higher allowances. However, with two management professors as parents, the effort was shortlived. “We knew how to break that kid union,” Cindi Gilliland said. They simply told the children that if they went on strike they would lose their allowances, but still have to work. Austin Gilliland’s future goals include attending law school in New York before going into real estate development and eventually becoming a politician. “My dream job would be ambassador to the United Nations,” he said. For now, Cindi Gilliland said she and her husband are very proud of what their son has accomplished thus far, and are looking forward to seeing what he does in the future. “I’m just really proud to have brought up another Wildcat for life,” she said.

World Fair showcases magic tricks, roping The Daily Wildcat

The UA is combining the Wildcat World Fair and the Wildcat Carnival for the first time this year. UA students and their families are expected to flock to the UA Mall Saturday for the rodeo-themed annual Wildcat World Fair and Wildcat Carnival, both hosted by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. The Wildcat World Fair has typically been an event where multicultural UA clubs and organizations put on displays for students and visitors to stop by and eat food specific to the culture at each booth. Visitors can also learn more about the clubs. The Wildcat Carnival includes more than 10 carnival attractions. From live music and festivities to inflatable rides and carnival games, family friendly activities will be available for everyone. Until recently, the two events were held on separate days, and the Wildcat World Fair wasn’t part of Family Weekend at all. Last year, the world fair was integrated into Family Weekend, and this year, the carnival and world fair have been combined. “Wildcat World Fair has moved,” said Courtney Kramer, Family Weekend’s director and a pre-physiology junior. “We’re trying to make it a big part of Family Weekend this year.” According to Kramer, the event can be described as a type of club fair. Hannah Sager, director of Wildcat World Fair, said the goal was to make the fair similar to Spring Fling, only smaller. “This year, we tried to really expand Wildcat World Fair as much as possible,” Sager said. “Instead of just reaching out to multicultural clubs on campus, we’re just really trying to form a Wildcat World Fair

L I N C O L N • V W • M E R C

this year like a mini-Spring Fling.” The world fair and carnival will include a petting zoo and a mechanical bull, as well as general booths, performance booths and food booths. All money raised at the fair will go toward campus clubs. The general information booths give particular clubs the chance to showcase themselves in an informative way to the public. At performance booths, students will present activities related to their club. Clubs will also be selling food, such as tacos and funnel cake. Nicole DeMaio, a physiology junior who has been to the Wildcat World Fair two years in a row, said having the Wildcat World Fair during Family Weekend led to having a bigger crowd out on the Mall. “In the past, it was really interesting to see the different foods from the different cultures,” DeMaio said. “I’m definitely looking forward to taking my parents there again.” The fair will feature 15 food booths, three general booths and two clubs with performing booths. One club will be performing magic tricks and the other will have rodeo activities, including roping. The Wildcat World Fair run from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., while the Wildcat Carnival will last from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.. “The UofA offers so many different clubs, and the fact that you get to peek into at least 20 of those different types of clubs and what they do and what they’re passionate about is … something you can’t really pass up on,” Sager said. “Then, the fact that there’s food … is something students cannot pass up as well.” — Gabby Fernety contributed reporting to this article — Follow Micah Montiel @MicahMontiel

There’s no cow wrangling at the Wildcat Rodeo, but the Student Recreation Center is providing a lot of other activities for the whole family at this year’s Family Weekend. Its offerings have expanded from last year’s line-up, building on repeat events and adding two brand-new activities for UA families to enjoy. On Friday, the Rec Center will host a pool party from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. with a DJ, snacks, contests and games. The cost of the party is included in Family Weekend registration. Ashley Mills, a psychology senior and aquatics student coordinator at the Rec Center, said she’s hoping to see many students bring their families to the pool. “We try to make it relaxing and interactive, just to get everyone out to the pool,” Mills said. The first event new to this year’s Family Weekend is a swim workout at the Rec Center, held Saturday at 8:30 a.m. The second is a day hike along the Garwood Loop Trail in Saguaro National Park East, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Cassidy Reader, an undeclared freshman, said she is looking forward to the five-hour trek. “The hike I’ll definitely go on with my mom,” Reader said. Activities that are returning from last year’s Family Weekend include a bike ride, free fitness classes and family sports tournaments. The bike ride will be a 12-mile trek along the Rillito River Path on Saturday morning, beginning at 8 a.m. The free fitness classes have been expanded from last year, when they were only offered on

Saturday. This year they are being offered to families all weekend during the Rec Center’s operating hours. The family sports tournaments are split into two sections, recreational and competitive. Families can sign up as teams to play racquetball, basketball or sand volleyball on Saturday morning. Kaitlynn Bronte, an undeclared freshman, said she is most excited for the competitive sports tournaments. “We’re definitely going to do the tournament,” Bronte said. “My parents are going to be into that.” Rec Center staff are going through extra preparations to accommodate the larger number of people who will be coming through, said AJ Schulte, an economics senior and Rec Center customer service supervisor. “We’re on point on making sure everyone is comfortable and everyone has a good experience here at the Rec Center,” Schulte said. The activities coordinated by the Rec Center are predominantly held in the morning, leaving time for families to take part in other afternoon and evening activities like the Wildcat Carnival or the Saturday Tailgate. The events are meant to offer something fun and engaging for students at the UA, and to encourage them to visit the Rec Center more often, Mills said. “We offer great things,” Mills said, “and we’d always love to see more people out here.”

The Menke family Even before she could walk, Meghan Menke was attending UA sporting events. “She’s been going to UA sports since she was born,” said Meghan Menke’s mother, Laura Menke, accountant senior for the University of Arizona Police Department. “Actually, we have a picture of her in a front pack when she was about 9 months old, going to her first football game.” These days, the graduate student in the college of pharmacy watches football games from the student section instead of her parents’ arms, although her mother has remained close by throughout most of her university experience. “I see it as an advantage because I get to see her more often [than most students see their parents],” Meghan Menke said, “and she takes me out to lunch, which is nice for a starving student.” The decision to attend the university where her mother works was not a particularly difficult one, said Meghan Menke, adding that the UA’s prestigious pharmacy program and the tuition reduction she receives as the child of a UA employee were major considerations. Laura Menke has worked with UAPD for 13 years. In her current role, she handles purchasing, travel and payroll for UAPD’s Business Affairs Division. “I do know some of the police officers here on campus,” Meghan Menke said. “It’s kind of cool; it makes me feel a little bit more connected to the campus.” Although she does her best to give her daughter some breathing room, Laura Menke said she and Meghan Menke have remained close during her daughter’s college years, and that her position at

Tucson eateries for the whole family Take your parents, siblings out on the town to one of these classy establishments BY Jessica Schrecker

The Daily Wildcat For many college students, Family Weekend may be the first time your parents see the campus and your dorm, apartment or house decorated, not to mention meet your roommates and new friends. It’s also probably the first time they’ve seen you since August. Most importantly, this is the weekend that you get to show your family what Tucson is all about, and what better way to spotlight it than with local food?

1. Bobo’s Restaurant

Bobo’s is a small hole-in-the-wall that you’ve probably passed hundreds of times without even realizing it. It serves a variety of inexpensive breakfast items into the afternoon, making it the perfect place to treat your parents if you’re feeling guilty about all that college tuition money. This restaurant is famous for its pancakes, which are at least

twice the size of your face and come in a variety of flavors — including blueberry, banana, chocolate chip, any combination of the three and more. This is the perfect breakfast spot before you hit the road and give your family the tour of Tucson.

2. Cafe Poca Cosa

This Mexican restaurant downtown has an upscale ambience and authentic Latin flavor. The menu changes twice daily and is written on a chalkboard that the servers carry to each table. The restaurant specializes in a variety of Mexican cuisine, so you really can’t go wrong with anything you choose. Cafe Poca Cosa will give your parents a taste of the melting pot we have here in Tucson while impressing them with a classy atmosphere.

3. Nimbus American Bistro ‘N’ Brewery Despite the “brewery” in its name, Nimbus

is very much a family place, and definitely a winner when you’re looking for the right Family Weekend dining experience. It has something for everyone, in case your parents are bringing along picky siblings. Nimbus serves sandwiches, burgers, fish ‘n’ chips, chicken and waffles, salmon, steak, pasta and pizza. The menu also includes dessert and drink options.

4. HUB Restaurant and Creamery

HUB Restaurant and Creamery is the perfect place to take your parents for several reasons. The ambience is classy and modern, while still having intimate booths and tables, so you’re able to have a private conversation with your family. The menu offers everything from steaks and burgers to sandwiches and salads. Your parents will be impressed with the presentation of the food as well its delicious taste, and you can cap off the night

with some of HUB’s famous ice cream.

5. Casa Vicente

Casa Vicente lies on the outskirts of downtown, but is a Tucson staple that shouldn’t be missed. The restaurant has nightly entertainment, with live flamenco dancers on Friday and Saturday that will keep your attention for hours. With plenty of space inside and out, the entire restaurant is decorated as though it were right out of Latin America. The food is authentic Spanish cuisine inspired by the owners, who are actually from Spain. This will show your parents that not only are you getting a sense of culture while away at school, you also have great taste in food.

Things to avoid while the parents are here BY GABBY FERREIRA The Daily Wildcat

In the two months since classes started, a lot may have changed — especially if this is your first time away from home. You’ve likely become used to the lifestyles of your friends, but that probably isn’t behavior you should be recreating for your parents when they come to visit. Here are some places and habits to avoid to ensure that your Family Weekend goes off without a hitch. — Follow Arts reporter Gabby Ferreira @Its_GabbyF

1. Don’t do the walk of shame It’s awesome if you have a significant other, and you should introduce them to your parents, as they are a part of your life and sharing that with your family is great. What’s not cool is if you all go to brunch and you’re still wearing your clothes from the night before — which your parents remember because you ate dinner with them. They’ve probably speculated that the two of you aren’t as pure as the driven snow, but show some class and save them the embarrassment of knowing that for sure.

2. Don’t go to rowdy restaurants

4. Don’t lose your temper

Perhaps a no-brainer, but be mindful of which restaurants you take your family to on game day, especially places that turn into bars after a certain hour, like Frog and Firkin or Gentle Ben’s Brewing Co. They can get pretty rowdy, so unless your parents are into that and want to experience it with you, avoid it.

If this is your first time away from home, college has already started changing you. You’ve learned how to be independent, how to try new things and how to better express yourself. Keep in mind that your parents don’t know this new you yet. Your mom may try to pry into your personal business (“So, are you seeing anyone?”) and your dad might remark on how “you never used to like black olives.” Things like that can build up and start to really annoy you, but keep your cool and be patient. This could save you from nasty and unnecessary family drama.

on game day

Don’t leave them out

This can be a bit of a toughie with your social life still moving right along. Your friends may ask you to go out with them while your parents are in town, but — as much as this sounds like a guilt trip — your parents came all this way just to see you. Don’t leave your ‘rents on their own without running it by them first. Make sure they’re cool with it — and give them some good ideas for places they can go without you.

Don’t forget to enjoy your weekend Seeing your parents again might be a little nerve-wracking, but have fun with it. Take them to some of your favorite local spots, make them try a Sonoran hot dog and most importantly, make sure they take you grocery shopping. You don’t get to see your parents every day anymore, so smile, relax and enjoy the time you get to spend with them.

PARENTS AND FAMILY WEEKEND • 15

Leaving an impression anxiety overload. One of the best ways to alleviate some of this anxiety is to make a good choice for your attire. Here are some “do’s” and “probably shouldn’t do’s” of what to wear to make a good impression, and avoid making a bad one:

1. Wear short-shorts or a mini skirt. Even though they are cute and are a lifesaver during the summer, short-shorts are not the ideal choice for meeting his mother. Instead, consider your favorite pair of nice dark jeans. A long casual dress or skirt is also suitable, depending on your plans for the evening. Think of how you dress while giving a presentation in class: You want your professor to know you put some thought into what you decided to wear, but you don’t want to overdo it like the girl in the pantsuit. 2. Wear a revealing shirt. Showing what your momma gave you is great for when you’re out with your ladies on the weekends, but it might give his parents the wrong idea. Choosing your favorite modest shirt or blouse will give you a respectable appearance, and will also make you feel more comfortable in the situation. Accentuate a simple top with a sparing amount of jewelry, like a bracelet or necklace, but be careful not to over-bling. 3. Cake on the makeup. Makeup works wonders, but his parents will appreciate if you tone it down a little for them. For a more neutral look, use earth-toned eye shadow and less lipstick. Showing off your natural beauty is key, and the last impression you want to give his parents is, “She wears too much makeup.” AMY JOHNSON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

TAYLOR HOFFMAN, a family studies junior, shows off what not to wear with a neon crop top, short shorts and flip flops. AMY JOHNSON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

TROY CAMPBELL, a psychology junior, shows off what not to wear with a snapback, suggestive T-shirt, work out shorts and sandals.

1. Shake her polo-wearing father’s hand in your finest tailored tux. Although you may feel pressured to dress up, this doesn’t mean prom status. Ask your girlfriend what she plans to wear for the evening, and use her response as a guide for your own level of formality. You can create a put-together look with an ironed collared shirt or nice button-down dress shirt — minus the bowtie. 2. Wear your faded jeans without a belt. Unless your name is Calvin Klein, if you wear your jeans around your bottom, you’re going to have a bad time. Another good rule is to avoid wearing faded or ripped jeans. A nice belt to hold up a pair of dark, fitted jeans or slacks will show you’re putting in effort. Again, the jeans or slacks decision should be based on the evening’s level of formality. Dinner is usually a little more formal, while jeans are suitable for going to watch a movie. 3. Wear your football team’s jersey. Especially if you don’t know what her father’s team is. You don’t want your first exchange of words to be her father gloating about how his team annihilated yours last weekend. Avoid wearing old faded T-shirts, gamer shirts or shirts with your favorite beer’s logo on the front. On second thought, just avoid any commercialized attire in general. As general advice for girls and guys, choosing appropriate clothing that represents you and your personality is the way to go. Knowing you look presentable will make you feel more comfortable, which may alleviate some of the pressure that comes with meeting the parents. Good luck! — Follow Arts reporter McKinzie Frisbie @DailyWildcat

enrolled at the UA in the fall of 2010 and will be graduating this December. So far, it’s been a real good time, but I can tell you it’s been quite different from my mom’s experience back in the 1970s. My decision to come to Arizona actually had nothing to do with my mom being an alumna. I visited the UA on a whim and immediately fell in love with the campus and its atmosphere. I knew I was at home, and now the Coghlan family has two Wildcats. The current student enrollment is more than 40,000. If Coronado Residence Hall was still all-female, it probably wouldn’t be the “party dorm” that it’s now known as. And if I ever received news that I had a “gentleman caller” waiting for me downstairs, I would expect to find some knight in shining armor waiting for me with roses. But in my mom’s day and age, this courtesy was common, and the regulations were stricter. Nowadays, students have to worry about coming home to find their roommates in the company of a “gentleman.” I’ll admit, I had to Google “electric hot plate,” which looks like a little too much effort considering the

microwave is the go-to appliance for college students today. I am glad University Boulevard has come a long way since its “Fashion Conspiracy” days. I visit University to escape from the confines of the Daily Wildcat newsroom for a few moments each day to grab food. I sometimes think about the fact that this newsroom is in the same Park Student Union that my mom used to visit and live across the street from. Gentle Ben’s Brewing Co.’s Tucson Blonde is still around, but I know Gentle Ben’s pours a whole lot more than just that. And it’ll start serving gelato soon, too. When my mom looked out her window, she saw the law school, and ended up pursuing her own career as an attorney because of the experiences she had in mock trial. When I looked outside my window on the top floor of the Mohave side of the Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall on Park Avenue, I saw the roof of McKale Center off in the distance, where my heart was leading me. My passion for Arizona Athletics was the driving force behind becoming cosports editor for the Daily Wildcat. Arizona’s basketball program has come miles from where it was when my mom was at the UA. As much as I would have loved to experience what she saw during its beginnings, I have witnessed some great moments too — let’s not forget the game-saving block former Wildcat Derrick Williams made against Washington in 2011

Tuihalamaka continues Tongan tradition

FILE PHOTO/THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE UA FOOTBALL team does the Haka before the NAU football game on Aug. 30. Senior defensive lineman Sione Tuihalamaka leads the Haka before each game.

BY SCARLETT MCCOURT

The Daily Wildcat In high school, senior Arizona football defensive lineman Sione Tuihalamaka’s number was 51. That number has special significance: it is the number of first cousins Sione Tuihalamaka has. For Sione Tuihalamaka, those 51 first cousins are more than just cousins — they are brothers and sisters. Sione Tuihalamaka’s parents are from Tonga, an island in the South Pacific. In the Tongan culture, family is of utmost importance. In Sione Tuihalamaka’s life, family was the driving force behind his playing football. Sione Tuihalamaka was raised in Inglewood, Calif., growing up poor but always with the support of his extended family. “If we didn’t have food on the table, auntie or uncle would help,” Sione Tuihalamaka said. Playing football was something Sione Tuihalamaka said he always wanted to do — he even used to sleep in his helmet. Football was a way for him to escape the rough neighborhood he lived in and something he wanted to do for his parents. But getting to Tucson to play for the Arizona Wildcats was not easy. It took the support of his family to get him here, particularly from

his cousin, Lawrence Tuihalamaka.

BFFs Lawrence Tuihalamaka grew up in the same part of California as Sione Tuihalamaka, and they’ve been inseparable since they were young. “We’re what you call BFFs,” Lawrence Tuihalamaka said. Throughout the years, they supported each other in the good times and the bad. Whenever Lawrence Tuihalamaka was going through hard times, Sione Tuihalamaka was there to pick him up, and vice versa. “We got in trouble together; we got out of trouble together,” Lawrence Tuihalamaka said. The area of California they grew up in was troubled by gang activity and drugs. In order to push through, Lawrence Tuihalamaka said, they used each other as motivation. “Any time one of us slipped, we picked the other up,” Lawrence Tuihalamaka said. “It was mandatory. It wasn’t even a question. We had each other’s backs, and I looked up to him.” Lawrence Tuihalamaka was also an athlete, but he played rugby instead of football. In 2010, he played rugby for Tonga and recently tried out for the USA rugby squad because of Sione Tuihalamaka’s influence. Sione Tuihalamaka was always his driving force

behind pursuing his rugby career. Lawrence and Sione Tuihalamaka had two other role models in their lives who helped drive their athletic careers: Sione Tuihalamaka’s brother, Apaiata Tuihalamaka, and Lawrence Tuihalamaka’s older brother, Vuna Tuihalamaka — both former linebackers for the Wildcats.

Tragedy Lawrence Tuihalamaka’s father, Vakasiuola Tuihalamaka, was Sione Tuihalamaka’s biggest fan. Since high school, Vakasiuola Tuihalamaka attended all of Sione Tuihalamaka’s games. He continued this in college, where he attended every Wildcats game. Even when his son, Vuna Tuihalamaka, graduated, Vakasiuola Tuihalamaka continued to arrive three hours early to each of Sione Tuihalamaka’s games. “Even if my dad wasn’t there, [Vasiuola Tuihalamaka] was,” Sione Tuihalamaka said. “He would even fly out for games, and that means a lot coming from where I came from.” Two months ago, Vakasiuola Tuihalamaka died. “It hit [Sione Tuihalamaka] hard,” Lawrence Tuihalamaka. “It hit him really hard.” It happened during training camp. No one in the Tuihalamaka family thought Sione

Tuihalamaka would come home for the viewing, except Lawrence Tuihalamaka, who was notified by text message. On the night of the viewing, Sione Tuihalamaka came running in with three items: an Arizona jersey, helmet and flag. He placed them on his uncle’s coffin and then broke down. “Everybody knew [Vakasiuola Tuihalamaka] supported all of his nephews and all of his family members,” Lawrence Tuihalamaka said, “but he especially helped Sione. I just told him he needs stay focused. All my dad wants him to do is play.”

Motivation Before playing every home game, Sione Tuihalamaka points to the part of the stands his uncle used to sit in. He plays for his family. But specifically, he plays for his uncle. Sione Tuihalamaka said he is the person he is because of his family — they’re the reason why he’s an Arizona Wildcat. “I wouldn’t be here without them,” Sione Tuihalamaka said. “I wouldn’t have graduated or be here, and that’s my motivation. My family is like everything to me.” — Follow Scarlett McCourt @scarlettnoelani

Arizona soccer team seeing double going at all. “Sometimes, I would want to go and look at a school if a coach contacted me. But I think in the end, we decided it would be better to stay together,” Priscilla Pimienta said. “We play really well together, so we just thought it would make sense to continue that.” Unfortunately for the twins, playing side by side at the UA will have to wait until next season as Priscilla Pimienta, who plans to play defense, is redshirting this fall after tearing her ACL and missing the team’s summer training program. Priscilla Pimienta’s recovery has gone well and she is now able to take part in some drills, but according to head coach Tony Amato, it would be a mistake to push her to come back too quickly. “I didn’t want to rush her back,” Amato said. “It would have been so close to her being cleared to play, and then having to get up to speed with the college level, so we thought it would be best to not force the issue.” For Laura Pimienta, who has made seven appearances at midfield this season, it’s been hard not to have her sister out there with her, especially

BY BRIAN PEEL

The Daily Wildcat Arizona soccer freshmen Laura and Priscilla Pimienta have a secret advantage. Not only are the Tucson natives talented soccer players, but they have the added edge of being able to speak Spanish. “Whenever we are speaking Spanish to each other, the other girls on the team will be like, ‘What are you guys even saying? That’s not fair that you speak Spanish and you’re twins,’” Laura Pimienta said. It is that bond of language and family that kept the two together when they decided to stay in their hometown for college. After highly successful careers at nearby Mountain View High School, where they were both team captains and first-team all-state selections as seniors, the Pimienta twins garnered interest from colleges across the country. But the twins decided that if they weren’t going together, they weren’t

considering they’ve been playing together their entire lives. “For me, it’s been difficult,” Laura Pimienta said. “On the field, I would always look to pass to her and I would always know where she was, and now all of a sudden she just isn’t there, and I have never played without her. It’s just been something new that I’ve had to get used to.” While Laura Pimienta has yet to collect a goal or an assist for the Wildcats this season, she has provided energy off the bench for an Arizona team that is playing some of the best soccer in program history. The team’s success this season has generated big crowds at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium, which the twins enjoy more than most on the team because of all the friends and family there cheering them on. “Looking through the crowd and seeing so many familiar faces has been really great,” Priscilla Pimienta said. “We both started off playing in AYSO [American Youth Soccer Organization] soccer, and I’ve seen people who have been watching us for years in the stands, which is just really

TAILGATINGTIPS B

efore an Arizona football game, it’s absolutely essential to tailgate. OK, maybe not absolutely essential — but it makes the game day experience that much more fun. Here are some tips to make your pre-game experience one to remember.

LOCATION

TIMING

You can tailgate anywhere, really. Someone’s backyard. A frat house. Your apartment. But if you want to get out and get a bigger tailgate experience, head down to the UA Mall. On game day, the lawn just off of Campbell Avenue is completely transformed into organized chaos with RVs and a red sea of Wildcat fans. Bring a 30-pack, meet some new people or just walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. Because on game day, everyone can relate to one thing: a Wildcat win.

Start the tailgate three to four hours before kick-off. You don’t want to start too early, or you’ll be crashing by the time the game starts, and you don’t want to start too late, or what’s the point of tailgating at all?

FOOD Whether you’re hosting a tailgate or attending one, make sure there is food involved. Tailgating starts hours before kick-off and games are several hours long — you’re going to be hungry. Stick to easy stuff: pre-made subs, barbecue, hamburgers or pizza. Or go crazy and channel your inner Iron Chef. Whatever you choose, make it a crowd-pleaser, because let’s be real — you’re going to be drinking. You’re going to need and want to eat.

DRINKS It’s not game day unless there’s some alcohol involved. Go all out and make margaritas or JELL-O shots, or keep it simple with a keg or a 30-pack. But whatever you do, don’t be that fan who shows up without drinks, or at least some money to throw down. Make sure you have something for everyone, as some people won’t be drinking! And don’t forget a cooler with water bottles, because a tailgate without water is a recipe for disaster.

PHOTO COURTESY OF ARIZONA ATHLETICS

UA ATHLETICS DIRECTOR Greg Byrne visits with fans tailgating before the UA vs. NAU football game on Aug. 30.

ENTERTAINMENT You’ll want to have a TV at the tailgate — obviously to watch the Arizona game, but also to keep up with the other college football games. You don’t want to miss Utah upsetting Stanford or Penn State in quadruple overtime. If you want, keep the TV muted and play some upbeat and loud music. The point of the tailgate is to get pumped up for the game, so make sure to create an environment that gets everyone into the football mindset.

GAMES You’ve got to get the competitive spirit going, and what better way than to play games? Keep guests entertained, socializing and, of course, drinking. Make sure to have a table set up for beer pong or flip cup. And for those who don’t drink, don’t worry, just substitute beer for some Dr Pepper or another caffeinated beverage of choice.

CHRIS JOHNSON (LEFT) joined his brother Nick Johnson this season. The siblings have been separated since they transferred to high schools in different states.

Arizona men’s basketball players Chris and Nick Johnson are inseparable. The two brothers have played together since the day they began dribbling a basketball alongside their NBA father, Joe Johnson. They have even have grown into the same size shoes. But their love for one another goes beyond the court. “It’s not all basketball,” Nick Johnson said of his relationship with his brother. “We go fishing and stuff like that.” When asked about stories of their childhood, both Chris Johnson and Nick Johnson kept relating back to the game they love. Nick Johnson recalled that the time he was the most mad at his older brother was when the two were young teenagers and Chris Johnson dunked the ball from the free throw line for the first time. Nick Johnson, green with envy, made it a goal to jump higher than

his older brother from that point on. When asked about the best times they’ve had together, the brothers both brought up their family. “Spending the holidays together and special family memories are things that stand out the most,” Chris Johnson said. “It’s times like those that, now that we’re older, [we] can look back on and cherish.” Memories, both good and bad, were put on hold when the two moved away from each other after attending Highland High School in Gilbert, Ariz. Nick Johnson, a junior, transferred to Findlay Prep in Las Vegas. Chris Johnson, a senior, transferred to South Kent Prep in South Kent, Conn. “It was fine at first, but I know for the both of us it was different and weird,” Chris Johnson said. “But we knew why were doing it and knew it was for the best.” For the next four years, the two only saw and lived with one another for short periods of time over holidays and summer vacations. It wasn’t until early this past summer that Chris Johnson, looking for a school to transfer to, took up his younger brother’s offer to come and play with him in Arizona. “I thought he was joking at first,” Chris Johnson said. “I didn’t really take him seriously, but a lot of hard work over the summer and [Nick Johnson] constantly pushing me got it done.” Chris Johnson comes to the

Wildcats as a junior walk-on. Though this is his fourth year in college, the former Grand Canyon University and Cal State San Bernardino forward has rejoined his brother in the desert to build on those memories that had been put on hold. “It’s great living with him again,” Nick Johnson said with a big smile. “It’s good to be sharing the moments with him like when we were kids, on the court and off.” Once it became clear that playing alongside his brother was a possibility, the decision was easy. Chris Johnson has been an honorary Wildcat ever since Nick Johnson came to Tucson in 2011, Nick Johnson said. Over the past three years, Chris Johnson has become good friends with many current and former Wildcats, such as junior point guard T.J. McConnell and former Wildcat Solomon Hill. With that chemistry already in place, Chris Johnson said he knew the transition would be easy. “[Nick Johnson’s] my brother, but also my best friend,” Chris Johnson said. “It’s kind of funny because I never thought we’d live or play together, and that after everything that’s happened over the past couple years, we come back together to make the best team possible.” — Follow Luke Della @LukeDella

THEN

NOW

years were in McKale Center at those basketball games. Last-second, gamewinning desperation shots from midcourt taught me that the game is indeed not over until it’s over. Snowden was named the Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year after his first season at the UA, and he took the team to the Elite Eight in 1976. I was able to witness similar success when the football team improved from 4-7 in 1972 to 8-3 in 1973 and 9-2 in both 1974 and 1975. The football stadium at the time was not as large as it is now, and there was no ZonaZoo section, but we still eagerly filled the seats and had great fun. The UA marching band was every bit as impressive as it is now and kept the crowd fired up during the games. One other thing that hasn’t changed since I was at the UA: The huge rivalry with ASU and the jokes, chants and mocking T-shirts that went along with it. When you are a college student, you don’t spend your time thinking about the memories you are creating. As Dr. Seuss said, “Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” It’s good to look back now on my UA years and realize that all of the good memories feel like they just happened yesterday.

to preserve an 87-86 win during the “white out” game. The exhibition game my mom saw was the start of Arizona basketball’s relevancy. Now, the annual exhibition game is called the McDonald’s RedBlue Game, which this year was sold out a month in advance and housed a roaring crowd of 14,545 fans. I don’t think that many people could fit in Bear Down Gymnasium. The Arizona State University rivalry is certainly still going strong. And the two schools still have tangible bragging rights, also known as the Territorial Cup, to fight for. As different as my experience was from my mother’s, it is still similar in sentiment. We both experienced the feeling of being at home on the campus that has drawn and continues to draw so many students to Arizona. We both have endured near-heart attacks at basketball games and we still text each other our reactions to every play during football games. Most importantly, we are both Arizona Wildcats for life. I know I’ll be able to look back on my college career and remember it with a smile, just as my mom does.

Tucson Fashion Week returns for 2013 Q

Amy Johnson

The 2013 Tucson Fashion Week premiered on Thursday night at the Tucson Desert Art Museum and will continue on into the weekend. Paula Taylor, one of the new producers of Tucson Fashion Week, spoke with the Daily Wildcat on the sold-out shows, the intricate incorporation of Tucson art and culture and, of course, guest speaker Betsey Johnson. For starters, tell me a little bit about each event that will be taking place this weekend. So, [Friday], that’s going to be at the Tucson Museum of Art, and we’ve partnered with the University of Arizona Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing, and the Center for American Culture and Ideas, which will be a new center by composer Daniel Asia. It’s really addressing the idea of culture in our society … So we’re very excited that we’re essentially sold out. We’ve got about 10 more seats left at the Inspired Icon event and then everything else is sold out.

“we wanted to bring something different to tucson … i really like to create experiences … we didn’t want to create three nights of runway Show after runway show after runway show.” — Paula Taylor, producer of Tucson Fashion Week

I just looked at the ticket Attendee Registration page on the website and every option just says in bold red letters, “Sold out, sold out, sold out.” I know, and we feel really lucky that the city has supported us and, you know, next year we’re going to really try to make this thing bigger and better. Obviously, Betsey Johnson will be coming that night, and Betsey is not only going to speak a little, but she’s showing her collections. … She’s bringing the wigs that they used in New York Fashion Week. She’s bringing the collection she had at her 70th birthday party, which is a retrospective of her life and her work. And she’ll be judging an aspect of that evening, which is our ensemble presentation. … We’re firm believers, [co-producer Melanie Sutton] and I, that we wanted to bring something different to Tucson. You know, runway shows are great, it’s what I do for a living, but I really like to create experiences. And [Betsey] is really funky, she’s interesting, she’s unique and that’s what we’re about. We didn’t want to do just three nights of runway show after runway show after runway show. It just doesn’t make any sense to us. So at the TMA, this week is about culinary, it’s about great music, it’s about art and theater and, of course, it’s about design and fashion. And Saturday? The 19th is what we call our Runway WrapUp and Fashion Awards Presentation Party. Whether it was the retail end, the design end or

now the production end, … one thing that we wanted to do was to give prizes. … The prizes and cash prizes will be a benefit to the designers and help them launch their careers. … So Friday night is this urban aesthetic. Saturday is a little more of a smaller, intimate feeling. And then? And then I’m going to go to sleep for like two weeks. So, you’ve got Betsey Johnson, events at the Tucson Museum of Art, a great mix of both local and national retailers and designers. I’m curious to know what you’re most excited about for this coming weekend. For me, from an artistic perspective, I’m always excited when I get the storyboard concept and then bring it to reality. And I would say Melanie Sutton — my business partner on this — I bet she feels the same way. You know, when we sat down a year and a half ago and started conceptualizing what we wanted, it’s so cool to be able to say, ‘Wow, we took this from paper and made it reality.’ And the second thing I’m most excited about, I think, is that everyone really worked together on this. How do you plan to keep things intimate during the weekend? I know you’ve got a lot going on this weekend, so what personal touches have you tried to incorporate? I think this idea that, in every experience, you get direct contact with the creatives, and for me, I think that’s intimacy. Our mixologist on Friday will be out front talking to everybody about the drink they made. Our designers will be out in public afterwards talking. We want everyone to get a good view of Betsey, you know, it’s moveable, there’s movement, so everyone gets to experience a little something. This direct contact with the creatives and the people that helped build the event …. it’ll be chic, it’ll be sophisticated, it’ll run smoothly, but I think people will see the relationships it created and how important that communication is. And there’s something so riveting, too, about all of the personal touches, that it makes people feel less like an audience and more like participants. Exactly, and that’s what we want. You know, we know we won’t make everyone happy. I’m sure there’ll be long lines at the bar and it might be hard to get to the bathroom. But we didn’t know that we were going to oversell this sucker, but we’re glad we did, and we will continue to grow this thing. — Follow Arts reporter Amy Johnson @Amy_Jhnsn

UA’s seven deadly sins

AMY JOHNSON

Pride: UA Sports

ife in a college town wouldn’t be complete without a few nights of debauchery and bad decisions, and with Halloween drawing near, there’s no better time to turn to the more devious side of Tucson. Below is a compilation of the most sinful practices you can try in a given weekend, but be forewarned: Attempting them all could leave you with a black eye and without your dignity.

You know the old adage, “The UA is a university attached to a football program,” so why not live up to that reputation? Don your UA gear, get a tattoo of Wilbur Wildcat and make the drive up to ASU for a rivalry game. Piss off some Sun Devils by walking through their campus screaming, “Bear Down.”

Wrath: Dirtbag’s Bar and Grill

Porn, ropes, corsets, vibrators, sex toys — you name it. If you’re looking to play up your devious side this weekend, Fascinations can help. The wide range of products means there’s something for everyone, from the weak at heart to the no-holdsbarred.

If the name isn’t indication enough, let it be known that this bar is the epitome of a dive. The rough-and-tumble crowd includes some of Tucson’s finest, from leather-baring bikers to the burp-in-your-face hockey boys. Mean-mug someone, get thrown out for punching a patron in the face, or simply show up at closing time on a Friday. Make no mistake that Dirtbag’s will be full of people in drunken fits of rage.

Envy: The Catalina Foothills While we don’t condone keying an Audi R8, nor do we suggest eyeing a MILF in front of her husband, venturing to the Foothills in Tucson is enough to make anyone a little jealous. After being surrounded by the typical Tucson crowd, a trip to Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar might just be the bit of luxury you need — and probably can’t afford.

Lust: Fascinations

Greed: Homework helpers When college students feel debt looming over them, they get resourceful. To make a quick buck, say “fuck it” to the academic handbook. Have a pledge pay you to write his research paper, do someone else’s math homework, complete an MIS project that’s not yours — anything for some extra Jacksons in your pocket.

Sloth: Marijuana

AMY PHELPS/THE DAILY WILDCAT

CHEBA HUT’S portions make it the perfect gluttonous stop near campus.

from a freshman on Highland Avenue and spend your weekend doing nothing but playing “Grand Theft Auto” and sleeping.

Gluttony: Cheba Hut Let’s be honest: Sloth and gluttony basically go hand-inhand. With delivery service until 3 a.m., Cheba Hut is your go-to for munchies — literally. The “Incredible Munchies” section on the menu boasts legal hemp brownies, Rice Krispies bars and the ever-popular goo ball. Dine on a “La Canna Blunt” with extra bacon, cheese and guacamole, and think nothing of the freshman 15.

Power Saturdays Night of dancing, glow sticks and discount liquor brings rave-like feel to downtown Tucson

MCKINZIE FRISBIE

ucson nightclub Zen Rock aims to charge up attendees’ weekends with Power Saturdays, a weekly night of Latin and reggae music, not to mention its fair share of discounted liquor. The event is hosted by Powermix Events, a company created by local nightclub veteran DJ Soo. “The basic idea of Power Saturdays is to have the ultimate party — the ultimate experience,” Soo said. Soo, Tequila DJ and DJ Z provide the soundtrack for the night, playing Latin, reggae and karaoke music, which Soo said attracts a lot of people because of the music’s variety and intensity.

“They love salsa; they love Shakira and Pitbull,” he said. “[The music] is a really good way to get to know a lot of cool people in town who are really open-minded.” Soo added that the DJs line the booths with sparklers, launch confetti cannons throughout the night, pass out rave foam sticks and have stripper poles so the crowd doesn’t get bored with the same old club scene. “We give out balloons; we give out glow sticks,” he said. “Every single night is a party. We give people 110 percent of us, and give them that one party that they’re going to be like, ‘Oh, man, we had such a good time.’” Cierra Laub, the marketing director of Sinergy Entertainment Group, which that coordinates the event,

said about 600 people typically turn out on Power Saturdays, and the venue holds up to 850 people on the top floor alone. Performing in front of this many people is an exhilarating experience for a DJ, Soo said. “It’s really awesome to be up there and look at everybody and … to have them feel that vibe that we create of a party atmosphere,” he said. “I can honestly say there is nothing else in town like that.” Laub added that the successful DJs have brought a lot of attention to Zen Rock because of the atmosphere that they create in the crowd. “It’s actually the night that carries our entire venue, because usually it’s sold out,” she said. “Upstairs, you’ll have the main DJs like Soo and his

crew up here, and then downstairs, you’ll have salsa and mariachi bands.” A special VIP lounge section is located on the second floor and has a balcony overlooking the dance floor. Patrons can get access simply by purchasing a bottle at the club, Laub said. Soo said the best aspect of Power Saturdays is the full dance floor — the highest compliment a DJ can get. “I’m the type of DJ that [likes having] people around me,” he said. “I like them all over me, bumping me and everything. I just like to feel that big party atmosphere.” — Follow Arts reporter McKinzie Frisbie @DailyWildcat

and terrific With a slew of worthy bars to start your first night of legal drinking, there are worse places to turn 21 Erin DeSoto

The typical college student waits well into their junior year for the moment when the clock strikes midnight and they can, at last, legally consume alcohol. No more MIPs, fake IDs or running from the cops as they break up parties. Your 21st birthday is a one-time occurrence, and getting it right is an art. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure that your 21st birthday is one you probably won’t remember.

Every 21st birthday must begin with a power hour — the time before midnight when you are still 20, and preparing for your first night navigating the bars of Tucson. In order to have a successful power hour, you need to have really cool friends who are not afraid to “Ice” you. Being “Iced” involves a friend hiding bottles of Smirnoff Ice in various locations throughout the house during the power hour. Examples include, but are not limited to, on the toilet, in the shower and in a bed. When the soon-to-be 21-year-old discovers the Smirnoff Ice, they are obliged to get down on one knee and chug it as fast as possible. Be sure to take plenty of photos so you all can reminisce later how awesomely hilarious your power hour was. You won’t recall any of it otherwise.

The next step is to tackle the “Harry Potter Shot” at the Auld Dubliner on University Boulevard. This specialty of the Dub has been a longstanding tradition for UA students on their 21st birthdays. The shot consists of a lot of alcohol topped with lemon and cinnamon, which is then lit on fire, leading to the spectacular finale, an explosion of fireworks that erupts from the alcohol. At $16, the flaming Harry Potter Shot runs a bit steep, and you’re typically coaxed into ordering at least one more. But the shot itself is said to go down easy, so start your night of shenanigans here and use the exploding shot to warm up your liver. It wouldn’t be a 21st in Tucson without this magical concoction.

wildcat weekend • 31

Once you are sufficiently intoxicated, head to The Wreck on Fourth Avenue for another opportunity that is only acceptable on the night of your 21st. Hopefully, by this point, you’ll be feeling ambitious enough to hop on the bar

and show off what you probably assume is the best dancing innovation since the ’70s. At The Wreck, when a lady jumps on the bar, she is required to take off her bra, which is then hung from the bar for everyone to see. Before you tell yourself that you are too classy to commit such an act, remember you are only 21 once.

At this point, you should hopefully be finding it difficult to walk without assistance from your friends, so it’s the perfect time to head over to perhaps the most recognized symbol of young adulthood for UA students: Dirtbag’s Bar and Grill. This shabby college bar prides itself on being “a part of growing up.” The bar itself is nothing remarkable, but it is necessary to experience the sticky floors, bad lighting and alcohol-saturated — but charming — atmosphere that it offers. Dirtbag’s mostly hosts Greek students, so if that’s not your scene, you might not return after this one night — but that’s OK. Make sure you take a photo with the bouncer holding up your ID. It’s a cheesy but obligatory tradition to prove you have been to the greasy symbol of drunken youth that is Dirtbag’s.

After you have successfully conquered Dirtbag’s, the last step is getting you home in one piece. But if you have followed the steps correctly, you are probably craving Taco Bell right about now. As it’s conveniently located next to Dirtbag’s, stumble on over and satisfy your drunken craving in what will arguably be the best part of your night. When you’re satisfied and ready to go home, call a cab or your designated driver, and make sure you have a reliable friend to help you find your bed. Hopefully, they will set up a hangover station of Advil, water and crackers for the following morning. Then fall into a beautiful drunken slumber, forget the lapses in judgment and dignity that you have surely committed and be thankful you live in a college town where the perfect 21st birthday can become a reality.

What is your favorite drink to make? A Sazerac. What is your least favorite drink to make? A thing that’s like a Jack and Coke, or something like that. Something that is really easy is no fun to make. It’s not going to be impressive no matter what you do. You can’t make it better than anybody else. There’s no fun to make that drink at all. What is one of the most memorable customers you’ve seen?

As a customer, what can I do to make your job easiest as a bartender?

One bar regular, his name is Mr. Jarvis. He’s like the most memorable customer anybody could have. The man is like an old-world aristocrat. He has poetry and plays and grand speeches of antiquity memorized that he rattles off at will whenever he feels like it. He’s in a local theater in town. The man entertains the entire bar anytime he’s in there. You can’t hear the type of stuff that he says from anybody else. He’s probably like the last living memory for most of what he knows. Anytime Mr. Jarvis comes in, the whole bar is really happy.

Come in, have some idea of what you want. Have it be something fun, have it be something interesting, but be there to order a drink, not be there to sit and hang out and think about ordering a drink. That’s the biggest pet peeve that I have is people that come in and take up a seat in the bar and I gotta go and I gotta pester them about what they want and if they want anything at all, I gotta come back several times. Somebody who comes in … and wants to drink makes my job easiest.

What’s the strangest occurrence you’ve seen happen at the bar?

www.azgreyhoundrescue.org/events/ spayghetti-no-balls-dinner

like they wanted me to do something about it and then about 30 seconds in, everybody’s attitude completely changed and all of a sudden everybody was up in line to sing the next song … and I went back and forth across the whole bar. Everybody got involved for about 30 minutes of people just belting out the drinking songs they knew, and it turned into a huge party, and everybody walked in strangers and left friends.

One night … the whole bar got into a drinking song-singing competition. It was two older gentlemen who had been drinking quite a bit and they started singing drinking songs. The rest of the people in the bar didn’t really have any relation to them. They were all kind of doing their own thing. It started as these guys were kind of being disruptive. They got really loud and started belting their songs out. The whole bar turns to look at them and people looked annoyed and they looked at me

What is a drinking trend that you see that you’d like to see go away? What I would like to see go away most is people who walk up to the bar and say, “What’s your cheapest rum?” or “What’s your cheapest beer?” or “What’s your cheapest whatever?” That’s the thing I’d like to see go away. People who don’t actually care what they’re drinking, they just want to walk up to the bar and they want to order the cheapest thing that they can order.

TUCSON RESIDENT ALEXIS CORBY, gets a breast cancer awareness tattoo by David Byerly, tattoo artist, on her neck at UnHoly Ink on Tuesday. Corby got the tattoo for her grandmother, who had breast cancer.

hether a night of drinking on Fourth Avenue has you feeling extra ambitious or you’ve just got an obsession with needles, a handful of Tucson tattoo and piercing shops are doing work at slashed prices this weekend. While some discounts are for a good cause and others for “just ‘cause,” you won’t have too far to go to get some cheap ink this weekend.

Sacred Art Tattoo Sacred Art Tattoo is holding an event through October to support Down Syndrome Awareness Month. The funds raised will be directly donated to Southern Arizona Network for Down Syndrome, an organization that researches the disease and gives therapy to the children affected by it, said Ilea Berrios, who has a son with translocation Down syndrome. After her son, Jaxson, was born in June, Ilea Berrios — whose mother owns the studio — wanted to do something to help other kids and families. Donations given to the organization do just that, she said. “It’s going to a good cause,” Berrios said. “The shop doesn’t make anything off of it.” Berrios said that the tattoo can be the size and complexity of one that would cost $80, but it will only cost $40. The price includes

MCKINZIE FRISBIE a $20 donation to Down syndrome research, along with a $20 tip for the artist to reimburse them for supplies. The shop has about 10 tattoo artists who specialize in different styles — including black and gray, color, portraits, traditional and script — and all artists are participating in the event. Sacred Art Tattoo is located at 315 N. Fourth Ave. and is open for walk-ins for patrons who wish to contribute to the donation event, Sundays through Thursdays from noon to midnight.

UnHoly Ink Tattoo & Piercing Studio In observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Unholy Ink Tattoo & Piercing Studio is holding specials on breast cancer and memorial tattoos, as well as discounts on pink and breast cancer-related body jewelry. Mariah Armenta, a piercer at Unholy Ink, said the shop stays involved with multiple awareness events and raises donations for different organizations. “We had an artist who had a kid with autism, and we wanted to give back,” she said. “We want to help, and what is happening this month is Breast Cancer Awareness.” All proceeds are given directly to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which funds therapy,

health services and research for breast cancer. The tattoo studio is located at 5807 E. 22nd St. and is Tucson’s only 24-hour tattoo shop. Armenta said the shop’s five artists specialize in a variety of styles, so the client will be able to choose which artist’s technique suits the type of tattoo they have in mind. David Byerly, one of the artists at Unholy Ink, says that one hour of work typically costs $100 — but this month, the shop is giving decent discounts on all breast canceraffiliated and memorial artwork tattoos. “It’s at the artist’s discretion,” he said. “It just depends on the detail, the placement on the body, the overall time taken. Generally, a small 2-inch-by-3-inch pink cancer ribbon [costs] $40.” The discounted jewelry sale includes necklaces and body jewelry. As long as it’s pink, Armenta said, it’s discounted. “Breast cancer can happen to anybody, whether it’s you, your friend or your family,” she said. “It’s just good to be aware, whether you buy a piece of jewelry, get a tattoo or just want to talk about it.”

Crow Tattoo does any basic piercing for $15. The list includes eyebrow, lip, tongue, nose, belly button and outer ear cartilage piercings. Blanka Ramirez, who has been working as an apprentice piercer at Crow Tattoo for about a year and a half, said that the price recently dropped from $20 to $15. The jewelry is included with the $15, so no extra purchase is necessary. “If it’s something they’ve been wanting to do for a long time, then why not do it now? It’s only 15 bucks,” she said with a laugh. Crow Tattoo and Velvet Rope Studio is located at 1340 E. Broadway Blvd. and is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 9 p.m. — but Ramirez said that the schedule is flexible, and if an appointment is made for 9 p.m., the piercer will stay later if they know you’re coming. If you want to celebrate the holiday season, the shop is also offering Halloween Flash Fridays discounts, with one tattoo for $40 or two for $50, if a friend decides to tag along. Ideas and the number to text are posted on the shop’s Facebook page.

‘Bourne’ director offers intense new thriller

ALEX GUYTON

ased on the true story of American merchant mariner Captain Richard Phillips’ (Tom Hanks) kidnapping by Somali pirates during the hijacking of the Maersk Alabama, “Captain Phillips” is an intelligent thriller in more ways than one, with an unrelenting, pulse-pounding narrative. There are three main acts of the movie, each with its own distinct tension. First is the calm before the storm, when the pirates arrive in their small, dinged-up boats and attempt to board the container ship helmed by Phillips. Once the pirates have boarded the ship, the conflict turns to whether the captors will find the crew that has hidden below deck. After this first act reaches its climax, the pirates kidnap Phillips and trap him in a claustrophobic metal lifeboat. Finally, the question then becomes when — or if — the Navy will be able to successfully rescue Phillips before the pirates kill him. A number of factors separate “Captain Phillips” from the pack of typical thrillers, but what contributes most significantly to the tension is that every single character, from hero to villain, is smart and acts logically. When Phillips sees that the pirates aim to board the ship, he executes all of the necessary procedures to prevent an attack. He doesn’t fly off the rails and attempt to take matters into his own hands, like so many other film protagonists. There is no sloppiness; everything is concise. But the villains are no fools, either. The Somalis are more than wise to the actions of Phillips and his crew, and the battle of wits soon turns into a brutal struggle to survive. The most notable aspect of the film is the characterization of the villains. The audience is given a firsthand look at the conditions that the Somali pirates come from. They do not take to the seas because they want to, but because the impoverished fishing village where they reside falls under the reign of a warlord who demands payment on a regular basis. If the payments stop coming, the denizens suffer. The hijackers’ leader, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), has a character arc all his own, as opposed to being a nameless antagonist with all the depth of cardboard. He has a respectable tenacity, an unbreakable will and a naïve, undying sense of optimism. The relationship between Phillips and Muse becomes one of the focal points of the movie, in no small part due to the performances by Hanks and Abdi. Hanks, adopting a slight drawl, delivers a confident, steady portrayal when he is in control as captain. When the circumstances deteriorate, though, Phillips gradually loses his grip on the situation, and Hanks is left wailing in animalistic despair. Of particular note is the fact that this is Abdi’s film debut, and his acting is a remarkable entrance into the industry. As Muse’s grand plan begins to fall apart, Abdi plays his character — whose desperation is tinged with a sad, doomed humor — with nuance. The kinetic camerawork and quick edits should come as no surprise, given the talent behind the camera. Director Paul Greengrass and editor Christopher Rouse, the two of whom collaborated on the best movies in the “Bourne” trilogy (“The Bourne Supremacy” and “The Bourne Ultimatum”), bring their characteristically livewire filmmaking to the high seas. The viewer is never lost, even amid shots that last mere fractions of a second, or quick edits that crosscut between three or four different groups of people and locations. “Captain Phillips” is another strong contribution to a thriller genre that has been in exceptionally fine form this fall.

GAME DAY Offense LUKE DELLA As sophomore quarterback Travis Wilson was being carried off the field on the shoulders of a sea of Utah fans following the 27-21 home victory last Saturday over then-No. 5 Stanford, Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez was sitting back in his living room preparing for a Utes’ open offense that is averaging 470 yards per game. “Right now we’re not talented enough to play bad and win” — so goes the phrase Rodriguez has said over and over this season. But Utah might be talented enough, especially on offense. Last week’s stunning victory over the Cardinal however, was a defensive victory. The Utes held the Stanford offense to a season-low 21 points. It was the offense that came out the tunnel blazing. Led by Wilson and a gang of weapons, the Utes went into halftime of last Saturday’s game with a 21-14 lead. They became the only team so far this season to score three touchdowns on the Cardinal in the first half. Thanks to the defense, Utah would only need two field goals in the second half to maintain the lead and eventually capture the school’s biggest win since joining the Pac-12 conference in 2011. Wilson threw for 234 yards last week, a season low, and after a couple of off weeks, reestablished himself as a moderate dualthreat quarterback with 35 rushing yards against Stanford. Against Oregon State on Sept. 14, Wilson ran for a career-high 142 yards on just 13 carries. Wilson has a band of receivers to spread the ball around to, most notably junior Dres Anderson, who had one receiving and one rushing touchdown against the Cardinal. Anderson’s 21.1 yards per catch rank

him first in the conference and his 98.7 receiving yards per game are 23rd in the country. But don’t expect Wilson to exclusively throw to Anderson. Utah has four receivers with more than 15 catches, the number Arizona receiving leader Samajie Grant has. Three of the Utes’ receivers have more than 20 catches. Along with Anderson, expect senior Sean Fitzgerald to be targeted a number of times by Wilson this Saturday at Arizona Stadium. At running back, Utah looks a lot different than it has the past two years. Former running back John White, who set the single season school rushing record with 1519 yards in 2011, graduated last year, leaving head coach Kyle Whittingham with three unproven running backs. Junior college transfer Bubba Poole has taken most of the carries for the Utes in 2013, with 85, though he has split playing time with a stockier Kelvin York and quicker Lucky Radley. Still, Wilson leads the team in rushing touchdowns with five.

UTAH’S DEFENSE will have to keep up with Arizona’s offensive leader, Ka’Deem Carey.

SCARLETT MCCOURT Stanford scored more than 30 points in every game this season — until last week, that is, when it faced the Utah Utes. The Utes’ defense held the then-No. 5 Stanford Cardinal to 21 points, six points shy of a Cardinal victory. Although Utah had a tremendous showing on offense, it was obvious that much credit for the Utes’ victory was due to its resilient defense, which didn’t allow a big bad ranked team to blow its unranked house down. To be sure, any defense that allows 21 points still has work to do, but Utah is definitely on the upswing. Back in September, it allowed 51 points off of the Oregon State Beavers. The Arizona Wildcats seem to be the opposite of Utah, allowing more and more yards each game of the season. The numbers show that besides size and maturity, Utah has talent on its defensive squad. As a whole, the Utes’ defense averages 133.7 yards per game, which is third in the

Defense Pac-12 for rushing defense. Senior linebacker Trevor Reilly is tied for second in the Pac-12 in fumbles recovered. Last week, Reilly recovered a fumble in the last minute of the third quarter. Utah converted the fumble into a field goal. This was one of three fumbles Utah forced and one of the two Reilly himself recovered, which eventually sailed through the uprights. The Utes’ defense showed its true strength in a clutch situation. Stanford was forced in the last minute to go for a touchdown, which, if successful, would have tied the game. Utah, however, held it six yards shy and Stanford was forced to throw. One bad pass later, the Utes found themselves victorious. Although the defense delivered a strong performance last week, there’s one part of the team that shouldn’t be overlooked — a part that Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez admitted the Wildcats are struggling with. The Utes are also impressive on special teams. Last week, redshirt freshman kicker Andy Phillips made two field goals and two PATs. By the way, he’s never played football before. Phillips, according to Utah’s official website, was on the US Ski Team from 2007 to 2011. He walked onto the squad in 2012. But the 24-year-old freshman can kick. Phillips has no problems with consistency. He’s made all 11 field goals and 27 PATs he has attempted. He was also named Pac-12 special teams player of the week after his performance against the Cardinal. He isn’t perfect, though, as his kickoff record shows that he has only had six touchbacks out of 32 kick-offs. Regardless, a consistent kicker is essential

&A talks UA transition QSnuka ROSE ALY VALENZUELA The Arizona indoor volleyball team hosts UCLA and No. 1 USC this weekend. The Wildcats (13-5, 3-3 Pac-12) will play UCLA Friday at 6 p.m. and take on USC on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The UCLA match is the annual “Dig Pink” event used to raise breast cancer awareness. UCLA (10-6, 1-5 Pac-12) had a five-match losing streak until it defeated Oregon State last weekend. USC (16-1, 6-0 Pac-12) has a 10-match winning streak and has only lost to San Diego. Freshman setter Penina Snuka answered some questions before taking on the two Los Angeles schools. Daily Wildcat: As a freshman, what has been challenging for you, transferring from high school to college? Snuka: Probably the most challenging thing for me is the pace of the game, as far as volleyball goes. And school-wise is just being on top of my school work. It was a little bit easier for me in high school, and I got to college and I have volleyball, schoolwork and

I guess somewhat of a social life — not really. What is the hardest part about being a setter? Well, for me is setting in all rotations because I’m used to setting and hitting. So just being a full-time setter and just … adjusting to that. I played outside hitter in high school. If you could go on vacation with any coach from the UA, who would it be? I’d probably go with Steve Walker, the sand volleyball coach. Just because of his knowledge of the game, and I’m sure he would be a cool guy to be around. Are you the type of person to talk or listen? I guess it just depends on the situation. If talking needs to be done, then I feel like I can step out and do that, but I think I feel more like a listener. I can take in more than I can say. I know that Dwayne Johnson, “The Rock,” is your uncle. Which one of his films is your favorite? Probably “The Game Plan”; I love “The Game Plan.” It’s a good, nice family movie.

SCARLETT MCCOURT At Monday’s press conference, Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez referred to some of Utah’s players as “grown men.” Not just from a strength standpoint, but from a maturity standpoint. And age, too. Most collegiate football players’ age range is from 18 to 22 years old. Some might be 23, if they redshirted. Few are 24. But the Utah Utes have players who are 25 years old. They have guys on their squad who are sophomores, but are almost 22 years old. Why? They serve missions for their church. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is encouraged,

SOCCER WRAPS UP ROAD PLAY RUNNERS HEAD TO MIDWEST STAFF PICKS Luke Della: 31-30 Arizona “For sure to go wrong.” Megan Coghlan: 27-17 Arizona “Don’t believe me, just watch.”

PENINA SNUKA a freshman setter for the UA volleyball team, practices in McKale Center on Wednesday.

Utah has mature, manly squad but not mandatory, for young men to go on two-year missions. They usually leave at the ages of 18 or 19. Young women are also allowed to serve. Missionaries live a disciplined lifestyle. They wake up at 6 a.m. and are home at 9 or 10 p.m. They don’t watch TV; they don’t play video games. They don’t go to parties. They contact their families and friends back home once a week via email. And they certainly don’t have football practice. Despite what seems like a strict lifestyle, missionaries can grow and mature a lot in the two years they spend in the field. Oftentimes, missionaries are sent to other countries, where they immerse themselves in a new culture, learning a new language and learning to love a new group of people. They perform countless hours of service and learn life lessons that are rarely taught elsewhere. So when these young men come back to play football, they’re grown up. They’re mature. They’re focused. They’re ready to play. Utah senior wide receiver

Sean Fitzgerald was born in 1988. He’s one of the 25-year-olds who signed to the team in 2006 before he left on a mission, according to Utah’s official website. But just because he’s old doesn’t mean he can’t play — he has the secondmost receiving yards on the team this season. Being gone for two years means players miss out on two years of training, and although missionaries can continue to eat healthy, drink protein shakes and do daily Insanity workouts, it doesn’t compare to hours in the weight room or going out on the field with pads on. But these older players are built like men rather than boys. They don’t have trouble focusing because they’re over the young, reckless stage of their lives. In fact, romance isn’t even on the radar for some players. A handful of guys, including Fitzgerald, are already married. Like Rodriguez said, they’re grown men. And being grown men isn’t something you can coach. — Follow Scarlett McCourt @scarlettnoelani

Poole, York and Radley only have a combined four rushing touchdowns. Hopefully for Arizona, Rodriguez was taking notes while Wilson was celebrating a benchmark victory of a topranked opponent, because the Utes’ balanced spread offense has depth at every skill position, giving them plenty of room to cover up their mistakes.

The Wildcats’ swimming and diving teams dive into the race for an NCAA championship tomorrow, competing in their first Pac-12 Conference dual meet against the Utah Utes starting at 11 a.m. in Salt Lake City. Headed by 2013-2014 USA national team members junior breaststroker Kevin Cordes and senior freestyler Margo Geer, Arizona is in search of its first NCAA championship since 2008. The dual meet in Salt Lake City tomorrow is the first stop it will make in its journey to Austin, Texas, in December and Minneapolis, Minn., in March. “This is the first time we get to put on our Arizona suits and go up against someone else,” said Cordes, a three-time national champion and American record-holder. “It’s time to motivate the team and use this as the first step toward the end of the year.” While this is the first dual meet Arizona will compete in this season, Utah has already experienced a Pac-12 victory in its 168-95 win at Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore., on Oct. 11. Head coach Eric Hansen will use this meet as an opportunity to work on speed. After focusing mainly on improving the team’s work capacity this preseason, swimmers are just now beginning to generate speed and power. “We may be a little rusty to start, but we did have an intersquad meet, so that’s one thing under our belt,” Hansen said. “That’s to be expected, and we don’t want to be at our best

right away. We want to build up to it.” The Wildcats may be “rusty,” but they are far from inexperienced. Geer and Cordes provide a solid foundation for the UA to build a national championship caliber team. They have been able to take what they have learned from their experiences with the national team so far and channel it at the college level. “They’re a part of something that everyone wants to be a part of, and that’s the U.S. squad,” Hansen said. “They had great summers, but they’ve both been very consistent, too, so it will be fun to watch them compete this year.” Cordes and Geer are not the only standout swimmers on this experienced Arizona team. Senior backstroker Mitchell Friedemann and senior fly/free Giles Smith, have represented the Wildcats in the 2012 U.S. Olympic trials, and senior diver Samantha Pickens won the 1-meter dive at the 2013 World Championship Trials last June. “Before you come in, you hear names or kind of know people from just what other people say,” said Geer, the 100m freestyle school record-holder. “But for the swimmers on the team and the coaches, everyone has mutual respect.” In 2008, both swimming and diving teams won national team championships. “First things first: We are all here to help win relays and help win a national title,” Cordes said. — Follow Nicole Cousins @cousinnicole
