ith strips of gold-and silvertinged paper in hand, more than 80,000 people walked along the All Souls Procession route Sunday evening, leaving carefully inscribed notes in the care of an urn, to be burned and sent to the souls of loved ones lost. Lighting up Sixth Avenue, the urn commanded the procession and wove through the crowds and floats that filled downtown. It served as a collection of thoughts and memories acquired from attendees throughout the night’s events, consisting of hand written-notes, photos, mementos, figurines and other objects. Loosely taking root in the Mexican tradition of Día de Los Muertos, the All Souls Procession returned for its 24th and biggest year yet, said Urn Ambassador Rachel Alter. It began as a small ceremony on Fourth Avenue to honor the passing of Susan Kay Johnson’s father and has since grown into one of the biggest processions in the Southwest, reaching people of all ages and cultures through the commonality of loss. “I just think that the emotions of love and loss and gratitude are all collective and we come together as a community to amplify each other’s gratitude and relieve each other’s sorrow as we take on those emotions collectively,” Alter said. The crowd moved as one

MUZGHAN HAMRAZ LEFT, a professor from Afghanistan, and Suzanne Bott (right), discuss the heritage conservation program involving the UA and Kabul University on Wednesday. Hamraz is a visiting professor who is studying cultural preservation in order to take the knowledge she gains back to Afghanistan.

BY JAZMINE FOSTER-HALL

The Daily Wildcat A visiting professor from Afghanistan is learning about cultural conservation in order to take what she learns back to her country. Muzhgan Hamraz, is a professor from Kabul University in Afghanistan who came to Arizona through

the UA’s Heritage Conservation Program. Hamraz said she’s hoping the knowledge she gains here will allow her to expand the class options at her own university. She has suggested that Kabul University add three courses to its curriculum: culture heritage conservation, ethnography of Native Americans and site management.

Arizona women’s cross country won its first Pac-12 Conference championship on Saturday in Louisville, Colo., while the men’s team finished eighth. “We are so proud of the ladies,” said head coach James Li in a press release. “This whole year they have been doing such a great job in everything they do. They are so focused and to come here in a difficult situation at altitude and against a really good Colorado team on their home course. It was a hard-fought victory, and it was a great job by all the girls today.” Senior Elvin Kibet not only finished second in the women’s race but she was also awarded the Pac-12 2013 Scholar Athlete of the

Year Award before the race. Elvin Kibet had a time of 21:15, coming in nine seconds after the first place winner. Second for the women was sophomore Kayla Beattie, who came in fifth place overall with a time of 21:20. Coming in third for UA was junior Nicci Corbin with a time of 21:23, good for sixth place overall. Freshman Maria Larsson took 24th place overall with a time of 22:30. The final scorer was junior Hanna Peterson, who came in 32nd place with a time of 22:43. In 2012, Arizona finished second place at the Pac-12 championships. “For the team winning the Pac12 Championship for the first time ever, that’s just amazing,” Elvin Kibet said in a press release. “We went into this race and coach Li told us, ‘Run with spirit. It’s one thing to run but it is another to run with spirit.’” The Arizona women’s team won the meet with a total of 69 points, Colorado took second place with 75 points, Washington came in third with 111 points, Oregon came in fourth place with 113 points, Stanford came in fifth with 129 points and ASU had 138 points, good for sixth place.

HOROSCOPES Today’s birthday (11/04/13): You’re the star, and opportunities abound this year. Fix up your home over the next five months. Expect a boost in creativity, partnership and romance during autumn and again in spring. Prepare to launch late next July. There’s travel involved. Make an exciting career move, and grow skills. Bank your profits. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7 — Consider travel to areas that you’ve been itching to explore, physically or figuratively. The work you’re doing now leads to higher status, especially long term. Patient, persistent action works. Plan a vacation. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 9 — Explore what would make your partnerships thrive. Balance play with work. Count wins and losses. There’s plenty to go around. Support the team with thoughtful consideration. Cook and clean. Share some laughter. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Today is a 8 — You play and work well with others, and that makes for a pretty fun, productive Monday. Compromise is part of the equation. Set aside stores for the winter. Contact a loved one.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is a 7 — A new creative project demands your attention. Put off procrastination until Wednesday. There’s gold in what’s being said, if you listen. Feed your love and watch it grow. Give thanks. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — You may have to take an idea back to the drawing board. Discipline is the key to your radiance. Complete an old project. Satisfaction is your reward. Today and tomorrow are good to share love and fun with family. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 9 — Consider family in all decisions. Be loving and kind all around, and magical and unexpected miracles show up. Your creative efforts get quite profitable. Focus on fine-tuning your space. Enjoy home comforts. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 8 — Adventurous communications tempt, and could either distract or further your aim, which is achievable. Keep focused, and use all the resources at hand … even those farther out of reach. Everything helps. What you discover surprises. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9 — You’re surrounded by moneymaking opportunities and by love.

Don’t close the door on opportunities. File them for later, if you can’t manage them all now. Have faith in your own imagination. Take good care of your guests.

So, you work at Reid Park Zoo, right? What draws you to animals? It’s not really about the animals exactly as much as it is the environment and ecology.

motion-activated cameras that snap a picture of any creature that goes by. Then, no one has to sit out there for days and can get info from multiple places at once.

Working at the zoo isn’t about the animals? It’s definitely about more. Zoos are the numberone money raiser for conservation as a whole, and if you are trying to save one species you have to look at how the entire habitat is being affected, or the problem will just continue to endanger the species.

Is that what conservationists had to do before cameras? Sounds adventurous! It was! And I’m sure it was fun too. Unfortunately, there just isn’t enough time for that anymore. Especially for tigers. All the subspecies are endangered if not already extinct and their numbers are declining rapidly. So you can see the benefit of having multiple eyes out there at once.

So where do zoos come in for research? Do they just help fund money for conservation and save some kinds of animals, or do they do more? Many zoos have a research component as well — bigger zoos, at least, that can afford it. Some of them work to fund researchers. For example, our teen volunteers donated $2,000 to HyTiCoS [Hyderabad Tiger Conservation Society] for camera traps. They conserve and study the animals in and around tiger habitats. Actually, one of the researchers goes to school at the U of A.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8 — You’re getting stronger (and more impatient). Even though your self-confidence is on the rise, you can use the encouragement, so don’t dismiss it. Don’t be a lone ranger. Build your team. Follow a friend’s recommendation. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — Focus on keeping old commitments. Don’t take the situation or yourself too seriously. Set lofty goals. It’s getting easier to stick to your budget. Start planning an adventure for later. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 9 — Part of you wants to work and be productive; another part wants to play. Figure out how to do both for the most value. Rearrange furniture so that your space inspires you. Get your message out.

What’s a camera trap? Is that just a speeding camera for tigers? No, they are nifty,

What can I do to help the tigers? I dig cats. Cats rock. Especially ones that are important to the ecosystem. Volunteering at a zoo or aquarium is always a good way to educate, and education is really the key to saving endangered species, but for some people it’s hard to find the time. The best thing to do is make eco-friendly choices. Eating locally, recycling, making sure you have Rainforest-Alliance approved products, and if you can afford it, donating to conservation programs or your local zoo institution.

Overheard on Campus

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 9 — Taking risks can be a good thing. Your ideas get generated with new twists in the face of adversity. Reinvent, imagine and create. Ask for support from others to follow your dreams. Your status rises.

Eric Hansen, a senior studying chemistry and math, was awarded $10,000 on Friday in a ceremony with former astronaut Ed Gibson, who served on the Skylab 4 mission in 1974. “I was surprised when I was nominated,� Hansen said, “and I was surprised when I actually got the scholarship.� Hansen started studying creative writing but always maintained an interest in chemistry. After seeking advice from his siblings and parents, he said he was unsure if he wanted to continue with creative writing and began taking classes in subjects he enjoyed. From those, he decided chemistry and math were the right choice for him. Hansen has received many other scholarships and recognitions, including the Goldwater Scholarship, the Wildcat

ACC should back clean energy, cut ties to coal companies BY Max Weintraub The Daily Wildcat

T

he Arizona Corporation Commission will make a decision on Nov. 13 regarding the controversial practice of net metering, which allows solar customers to sell their excess power back to the utilities companies. The decision, which will be handed down by a five-person elected commission that most people have probably never heard of, has the potential to be devastating to the future of sustainable energy in Arizona. The ACC is a constitutionally mandated organization that is responsible for governing Arizona’s public utilities. The broad powers outlined by our state’s constitution mean that the ACC operates outside of the confines of legislative oversight. This could spell disaster for proponents of solar power in Arizona, as four of the five ACC board members have strong ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council, an organization that works in the interest of oil and gas companies and receives a large amount of its funding from billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch. This year alone, ALEC has sought to weaken or repeal clean energy standards in 13 states. In 2006, a more moderate ACC approved the Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff. The proposal mandates that 15 percent of Arizona’s energy must be produced by renewable resources by 2025. The proposal helped spur Arizona’s rapid expansion of solar energy. However, the ACC began bastardizing its REST standards last year when the three Republican commissioners overruled the two Democrats to allow the construction of a trash-to-gas power plant. In addition to the environmental impact, trash-to-gas plants were explicitly excluded in the initial REST proposal as being too polluting. Mohave Electric Cooperative CEO Tyler Carlson argued that the trash plant could save money by offsetting the utility company’s solar expenditures. Then Democratic Commissioner Paul Newman, using data provided by the U.S. Department of Energy, saw that the facts told a different story. “The trash-burner costs almost twice as much to build and 20 times more to run,” Newman said. Now the debate is centered around net metering and the current trend isn’t promising. The utilities companies claim that subsidizing solar costs places an unfair burden on non-solar customers to maintain the power grid. However, a 2011 poll revealed that more than 90 percent of Arizonans were willing to spend more to, “increase the amount of our energy needs which are met by renewable sources like wind and solar power.” The utilities companies propose a credit that would increase solar customers’ bills by anywhere from $50 to $100 a month. Solar industry advocates are concerned that this would disincentivize people from adopting solar energy and kill the burgeoning industry. The Arizona Public Service Co., Arizona’s largest electric utility company, was recently found to have donated money to the Koch’s 60 Plus Association. The conservative group has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying against the solar industry. APS Vice President of Communications, John Hatfield, rejected the notion that ratepayer money has been spent on the political campaign. Instead, the money comes from profits that would have otherwise gone to stockholders. He also said that the donations made to the 60 Plus Association were for an unrelated purpose and that APS does not agree with all of the organization’s platforms. “We needed to respond to these ridiculous assertions that we do not support solar,” Hatfield said. Call me skeptical, but that sounds disingenuous. The amount of money being thrown around in Arizona right now is because this decision will shape the solar debate for the rest of the nation. Unfortunately, when you follow the money trail, what you find is political cronyism and the gas and oil lobby working to delay the inevitable adoption of renewable energy sources. If the ACC sides with the utility companies in this debate the Arizona solar industry, which has the ability to be the strongest in the nation, will crumble. — Max Weintraub is a senior studying creative writing and Italian studies.

School districts should spend money on teachers, not iPads BY ashley t. powell

The Daily Wildcat

S

chool districts across the nation are trying to incorporate computer tablets, like iPads, into classrooms. Giving students the power of the Internet at their fingertips and an ability to read course material without lugging heavy books around may sound practical, but the cons of having iPads in classrooms outweigh the pros for both students and teachers. The school districts that are experimenting with tablets believed the devices would help implement the new Common Core State Standards Initiative for math and reading, according to an NPR report last month. According to the Common Core, Arizona adopted these standards in 2010, and is currently one of 45 states experimenting with iPads. Most of the districts with iPads in classrooms approved a bond issue and then paid for most of the cost through property taxes. However, there are better ways for these school districts, especially in Arizona, to be spending their revenue from property taxes.

The iPad 2 starts at $399 and goes up to $529. The iPad mini, without retina display, starts at $299 and goes up to $429 and the newest iPad Air starts at $499 and goes up to $929. Other tablets like Google’s Nexus 7 and Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX are priced at $229, but even at lower prices, this would represent a significant investment on behalf of the school districts. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the average class size in Arizona ranges between 22 and 25 students, depending on the grade level. Multiply that by all the classes in each school and then by the number of schools in a district. Add in the price of Wi-Fi. The number is huge, so huge that its almost excessive. At that price, there are plenty of other improvements within schools that the money could be put toward. A 2013 report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities showed Arizona as having one of the nation’s deepest cuts in education funding.

Your Views In response to “Chivalry degrades women, promotes sexism in society” (by David W. Mariotte, Oct. 30) I am sorry, but I must disagree with this article. Chivalry is not sexist, nor does it, at its core, promote sexism. The base of chivalry is sacrificing of yourself for the benefit of another. When I hold open a door from somebody, I am sacrificing time to aid another person. When I give my coat to a cold friend, I am sacrificing my comfort for theirs. When I buy my friend lunch because she is hungry and broke, it does not mean that I am demeaning her or exerting power over her. It means I am showing compassion to somebody whom I care about. I do this to my male friends and to my female friends equally. Why? Because chivalry is helping, or offering to help, a person in need. It is about showing compassion and empathy to your fellow human beings. Chivalry is also about being honorable. A chivalrous man is an honorable man. He speaks true and does not lie, con, or mislead others. He follows through with his promises, and should situations force him to fail in this, he seeks forgiveness and repentance from the offended party for his failing. He does not cheat, or steal, or abuse any authority or position he holds. Historically, yes, chivalry was a notion that did promote sexism and a separation of the classes, but the history of it does not mean it should be cast away. Like many things in our society, chivalry adapts to the modern view and age. I was raised to be a chivalrous gentlemen. Does this mean I was taught that women are weak and require my protection? No. It means I was taught to respect women, not to demean, hurt, or abuse them. A chivalrous gentlemen treats all he meets with respect and courtesy regardless of gender or status. The very word “gentlemen” implies a man who is not harsh, not cruel, not callous with his actions. It is a man who is kind, giving, honorable, and compassionate. And chivalry is not just for men, as women too can be chivalrous. I speak from the male point of view since that is my gender, but in my life I have

states, like Wyoming, pay their new teachers $43,053. Educators are responsible for each individual’s success, and a higher priority should be placed on their salaries instead of tablets. The money school districts are trying to pull together to pay for these tablets and Internet expenses could go toward teacher salaries, building improvements, updated textbooks, updated computer labs, after-school study programs and more. All of these things could help improve students’ lives and their success in school, more than one iPad could. Even if the districts had the money to buy iPads and pay decent teacher salaries, there’s no guarantee the tablets would be put to good use and they could even hinder the learning process. At the UA, I’ve seen a student almost get kicked out of class for watching Netflix on his laptop and have witnessed other students checking Facebook on their iPads or cellphones. Not to say I haven’t used technology for that purpose, but these devices are definitely a temptation and a distraction during class. With iPads as this new learning tool, students in secondary education may depend on such devices by the time they enter college and be unable to take

effective notes by hand or be able to recall information on tests, because they’re so used to looking it up online. “Teachers are no longer the possessors of knowledge,” said Matt Hamilton, an educational technology coordinator for the Coachella Valley Unified School District in California, in the NPR report. “They’re more of the facilitators of learning.” With such technology at our fingertips, there is a lack of connection between students and teachers. Teachers will start to stand by and navigate students through various tablet applications rather than spend time sharing knowledge and educating students. There is also the constant concern about security and children accessing harmful or inappropriate online content. While NPR reported that some districts are working with Apple to block such content, the effort is still in progress. IPads and other tablets can be used as appropriate study aids from home. However, if students use a tablet more than their pencil in class, it could lead to more harm than good. — Ashley T. Powell is a journalism senior. Follow her @ashleytaylar

known many a chivalrous woman. In fact, I have known more chivalrous women than I have men! Saying we need to “kill” chivalry because it can be sexist is like saying we should not drive our car because we might get into an accident. There are wonderful lessons that can be taken away from chivalry, lessons about treating each other with respect and honor. And after all, if we desire to see an end to sexism, racism, and other forms of discrimination, wouldn’t teaching our children chivalry be a great way to start? So to dismiss the concept of chivalry because it was historically sexist, or because some people view it as sexist, is foolish and only encourages the poor behavior that we, men especially, show toward each other. I would rather live in a world where we all acted chivalrous toward each other, than in a world where we all did not. Chivalry is not dead, and as long as there are people like me who embrace and display the positives of the concept, it never will die. — Ryan S. In response to “Basic morals of chivalry still relevant today” (by Shelby Thomas, Oct. 30) The key problem here is that you didn’t know each other well enough to want to pay for each other. Should have gone to coffee first when the stakes aren’t as high. If you want someone to spend their “resources” on you, you have to be of value in the first place. First dates shouldn’t be dinner. Too awkward. Go do something fun and low risk as far as spending money is concerned. Also, sometimes, as a woman, you have to give before you receive. For example, I went on a second date (first date was coffee) and my date forgot his wallet. I paid for our lunch (again low risk) and gave him the benefit of the doubt when he said he forgot his wallet (always be able to have your own money). Well that guy is now my boyfriend and takes me out to dinner at least 3 nights a week and has paid for two vacations. Sometimes you have to give some to get it returned. Kindness is a gift you always want to give because it will get returned — even if you as a woman have to be the first to give. P.S. Chivalry starts with you. A man doesn’t treat you like a doormat unless you act like one. Demand respect and you shall get it. — Be Smarter

POLICE BEAT BY MICAH MONTIEL The Daily Wildcat

Rocky roads

University of Arizona Police Department officers referred two UA students to the Dean of Students Office for minors with spirituous liquor in the body in the parking lot of Coronado Residence Hall on Friday at 1:36 a.m. Two officers were leaving the Coronado lobby when a student approached the officers and told them about his friend who had fallen outside and cut her face. The officers immediately went to aid the woman, but found an ambulance from the Tucson Fire Department already taking care of her. She had an abrasion to the right side of her head near her temple and had thrown up in the parking lot after hitting her head. The student told officers that the woman had been at a Delta Chi party with him and had been drinking wine. They were walking home after the party when she tripped and hit her head. After she stood up, she began to throw up. As the student spoke to the officers, they noted that he had red, watery eyes, slurred his speech and smelled strongly of alcohol. TFD told the officers the woman would be released because her abrasion was minor and she was able to speak. The officers got the ID of the student and had to ask for the woman’s identification three times because she kept misspelling her name. The officers determined the students were both underage and the students received a minor in possession and were deferred to the Dean of Students Office.

Urination without hesitation

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for urinating in public on Friday at 11:46 p.m. As a UAPD officer was patrolling a Greek Life Date Dash by the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, he saw a student leave the house and hide behind bushes against the south side of the University Information Technology Services building. When the officer went up to the student, he found the student facing the building, peeing. The officer made his presence known and after the student zipped up his pants, he spoke to the officer. The student said he could not use the bathroom inside because he was kicked out of the sorority. The student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office.

BERKELEY, Calif. — With Arizona’s 33-28 victory over California Saturday afternoon, the Wildcats captured their sixth win on the season and are now bowl eligible for the second consecutive season. There are six bowl games that Arizona is eligible for, not including the Rose Bowl or National Championship game. However, just being bowl eligible has never been a goal for the Arizona football team. “Today was a good win and one closer to reaching the Pac-12 [Conference] championship game,” said running back Ka’Deem Carey after Saturday’s victory at California. In order for the Wildcats to reach the conference championship game, they will need to finish in first place in the Pac-12 South division. After Saturday’s win, the UA improves its conference record to 3-2 and is tied for second with USC and UCLA in the division. ASU sits atop the South with a 4-1 conference record.

Arizona recovers from overtime loss to defeat CU BY BRIAN PEEL

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona soccer split its two-game home set over the weekend, dropping Friday afternoon’s game in overtime against Utah before rebounding with a dominating 3-0 victory over Colorado on Sunday . With their lone victory over the weekend, the Wildcats (87-4, 3-6-1 Pac-12) have now surpassed their win total from all of last season both overall and in conference play with one game remaining on their schedule. On Sunday, Arizona pulled away from the Colorado Buffaloes in the second half. Head coach Tony Amato said it was the Wildcats’ best performance of the season. “I thought today we put it all together,” Amato said. “To have a complete performance where we won a lot of battles individually and scored some good goals was an exciting day for us.” After a slow first half, the Wildcats got things going in the 64th minute when Jazmin

SOCCER, 7

Of the NCAA’s 28 rule changes that will be implemented at the season’s start, the most prominent one concerns the emphasis on enforcing hand-check and freedom of movement rules. Due to concerns about excessive contact leading to concussions and rough play contributing to diminished scoring number and overall aesthetics of the sport, officials have been instructed to call fouls on defenders who keep a hand or forearm on an opponent and for things like bumping the cutter. “We have to get used to the new

Glanz scored her first goal of the season off Wong’s corner kick . The ball was nearly saved off the goal line by Colorado goalkeeper Annie Brunner but the referee awarded the Wildcats the goal making it 2-0 . Junior Ali Doller added a goal in the waning moments of the game, her seventh of the season . For Kaufman, the shutout was her fifth of the season, one more than the four she totaled in 2012 . “It feels great,” Kaufman said. “The defense did a great job of denying the shot. We now have more shutouts and wins in conference than we had last year so it was a big one.” On Friday, in what was Arizona’s second overtime game in as many weekends, Utah escaped with a 1-0 victory that took more than 100 minutes of game time to complete. Both teams created several opportunities, with the Wildcats outshooting the Utes 20-13 overall, but in the end neither team was able to take advantage in the first 90 minutes. Arizona’s best opportunity to take the lead in regulation may have come from Ponce,

rules with hand-checking. We had a couple refs come in to talk to us and help us out with that,” said sophomore guard Gabe York. “I think the biggest thing we have to work on is defensively learning to keep our hands off the offensive players so we don’t get into foul trouble. It’s going to be difficult but we are definitely up for the challenge.”

UA’s versatility

Junior point guard T.J. McConnell explained that due to this year’s more balanced rotation, it is easier for the team to bounce back if one of its big men gets into foul trouble. “It just makes my life easier having guys like them and more depth available at more positions. So, if Brandon [Ashley] or Kaleb [Tarczewski] gets in trouble, then we can go small with Rondae [Hollis-Jefferson] and Aaron [Gordon],” McConnell said. “That makes us quicker and helps us create mismatches that can spark our offense.” Arizona head coach Sean Miller praised McConnell in a press conference, saying that he makes his teammates better and, defensively, he can really pressure the ball and steal it. “He knows how to play the game. He knows how to take what the defense gives, and he always starts with a pass-first mentality — trying to get his teammates involved — and he’s clever,” Miller said. “He makes the game easier for everybody. He can make the simple play in transition; he can recognize defenses, understanding time and score, and is certainly a valuable player for us this season.”

Gordon’s Early Struggles

Highly-touted freshman forward Aaron Gordon did not live up to his expectations in last week’s exhibition match against Augustana. Gordon shot an unimpressive 3-for8 from the field, compiling seven points and five rebounds against a team that was ranked No. 22 in the preseason Division II poll. Miller said that Gordon had a groin strain and that in the 22 minutes the newcomer played, he still wasn’t himself. Miller also said holding Gordon out of the second half was a precautionary measure.

Zach Peters To Rejoin Team Soon

Arizona’s medical personnel could clear Kansas transfer Zach Peters within the week. The power forward transferred to Arizona and was cleared by the NCAA in late September but still needs approval from the Wildcats’ medical staff to rejoin

the team after a series of concussions. “We have been very cautious in terms of not rushing his recovery and are hopeful that he can get cleared to play here within the next week to 10 days,” Miller said. “He would give us another potential player out there.”

whose free kick from just outside the penalty area was stopped by Utah goalkeeper Lindsey Luke shortly after the second half started. Luke spilled a rebound but the ensuing shot went wide to end the threat. After a scoreless first overtime period that the Wildcats dominated in possession, Utah’s Taylor Slattery slipped away from an Arizona defender in the 102nd minute and gave Kaufman no chance to make the stop when she put the ball into the top left corner. Amato said considering how close the two teams were, it wasn’t surprising that one goal decided the outcome. “Well, I thought it was a 50/50 game,” Amato said. “Both teams battled for long stretches of the game and, unfortunately, they took their chance when they got it in extratime and that’s really the difference in the game.” The Wildcats will wrap up the 2013 season Thursday when they take on Arizona State at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium in what will be Senior Day for three Wildcats: Ponce, Ana-Maria Montoya, and Shannon Heinzler.

Short-handed Wildcats win sole exhibition game BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

Arizona women’s basketball defeated Fort Lewis College 80-65 in an exhibition in the Wildcats’ season debut on Saturday. The Wildcats only had seven players, including four freshmen, suit up for the game, as senior forward Erica Barnes and sophomore guard Keyahndra Cannon were both held out of the game because of injuries. Senior forward Alli Gloyd tore her ACL during a preseason scrimmage. “In that seven, we had to play freshmen,” said head coach Niya Butts. “We played four freshmen a lot, and they were able to get production. We feel pretty good about our newcomers.” Fort Lewis was neck and neck with Arizona throughout the first half, but the Skyhawks couldn’t overcome the Wildcats’ defense. Arizona forced 28 turnovers including 16 steals. Leading with five steals was

junior guard Candice Warthen, who missed all of last season as a medical redshirt. Warthen played 38 minutes in her first UA game since she last played on March 8, 2012 in the Pac-12 Conference tournament against ASU. “I don’t think I’ve ever played that many minutes, so I was really fatigued,” Warthen said. “It was our first game. It was fast-paced, but I had to push through it.” Butts said the Wildcats missed Warthen and that she was happy with her performance. “I’m just thankful she’s back,” Butts said. “She showed what we’ve been missing for the last year and a half. More than anything, I’m excited for her.” Aiding Warthen was freshman LaBrittney Jones, who finished with a double-double of 24 points and 10 rebounds. Jones started and played 28 minutes in her first game as a Wildcat. Jones is coming off a torn ACL that kept her off the floor throughout her senior season of high school and was

excited to get back in action. “It was great,” Jones said. “I haven’t played in a year, so I was ready to get back on the court and do good.” Arizona’s defense forced Fort Lewis’ starting guards Erika Richards, Erin Curry and Ashley Kuchar to commit a combined 21 turnovers for the game. Butts said she was impressed with the number of turnovers forced by the Wildcats but said they can improve. “We can get better from that,” Butts said. “I know we forced 28 turnovers, but I think our transition defense and our half-court defense can get a lot better.” Richards and Kuchar led the Skyhawks with a combined 32 points.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships Free back rubs? Yes! UA Stressbusters on Tuesday, November 12th, 11am-1pm in front of UA Campus Health

Male Questions About Pregnancy Q. I heard that hot tubs reduce a guy’s sperm count. If I had sex with my girlfriend in a hot tub can she get pregnant?

floating semen would disperse, become diluted, and the sperm would not have the propulsion (nor navigational skills) to make their way up anyone’s vagina.

A. Exposure to heat can slightly, but not drastically, lower sperm count. She can get pregnant if you ejaculated inside of her. Sperm don’t have far to travel from the top of the vagina, through the cervix, into the uterus, and up the fallopian tubes to meet an egg.

Q. I had sex with my girlfriend when she was on her period. Is that a safe time? A. It’s much safer than other times of the menstrual cycle. Women rarely release a mature egg during menstrual bleeding. Bleeding usually occurs for 2-7 days when hormones signal the lining of the uterus to slough off. Women are usually least fertile in the few days just before, during, and just after their period.

Q. If I “cum” in a pool, can any nearby women get pregnant? A. Chances are next to zero. Sperm would be unlikely to survive the water temperature and the chemicals in the pool. Free-

friend 2 friend notice. care. help.

Q. We used a condom and it slipped off. I’m worried. Is Plan B an option and for how long? A. Plan B (emergency contraception) is one pill with a high dose of hormones that can prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse (the sooner the better). Anyone can buy it at a pharmacy. It’s 75-89% effective and way better than doing nothing.

A website for University of Arizona students that serves as a resource to help you help your friends stay safe and healthy.

Q. I heard that a girl cannot get pregnant when she is “on top.” Is that true? A. Pregnancy can (and does) happen when girls are on top, in a hot tub, standing up in the shower, and the first time they have sex. If you have sex with someone of the opposite sex, assume that you are both fertile, and use effective contraception (the pill, shot, ring, IUD, condoms, etc.)

through the procession, following the steady beat of drums behind the urn, while attendees joined the back of the procession as it passed. Many held hands and carried signs or figures with various names and wishes scrawled across the front and back. “We definitely have our own people we’re walking for today,” said participant Colleen Mahorney. “It’s awesome because usually when people die, it’s like a funeral and a lot of sadness, and I like this because it’s more of a celebration of life.” Pouring in by the thousands, participants celebrated anything from lost relatives, pets and friends to relationship transitions. Many had created photo mobiles and floats to remember those that they’ve lost and marched them through the downtown streets. Diana Meter, a UA family studies and human development graduate student, attended the procession to show her family and friends a piece of Tucson tradition. “It represents Tucson culture so well and it’s a great way to show people what it’s all about,” Meter said. “I love the fact that so

many people can come out and be together in a public place at the same time.” Many attendees painted their faces with decorative skull patterns as a symbol to honor the dead. Others added photographs and mementos to their clothing to display their loved ones as they marched. Procession participant Taryn Gibson marched with a photo of her grandfather attached to her dress as a way to celebrate his life and bond with her family. The procession continued through downtown as the crowd, extending for miles, followed the urn to the procession’s finale where it was lit on fire, releasing the messages to all lost souls. Although some were there to remember loved ones who had recently passed, others said they were there to maintain an age-old celebration. “It’s a big way to celebrate our heritage,” Gibson said. “I think it’s important for us to keep the traditions alive and it’s a way to keep the memories of our loved ones around.” — Follow Arts reporter Jessica Schrecker @JKSchrecker

The Daily Wildcat

A New Mexico artist who paid a visit to Tucson this weekend aims to use the aesthetics of classic cars to combine art and speed. Jeff Brock is a self-made and self-taught artist who has been crafting metal since he was 10-years-old. He spent much of Saturday sitting outside of the Sacred Machine Museum and Curiosity Shop in downtown Tucson with his 1952 Buick Super Riviera. Brock dropped by the gallery this weekend to show his collection of Rocket Jewels, rocket-shaped pendants he creates from metal. But when he’s not making jewelry, Brock is working underneath and on top of the hoods of classic cars to make them works of art. Brock also brought his 1952 Buick Super Riviera, which he crafted from the ground up. Brock said his father, who was building custom motorcycles in the late 1950s and 1960s, taught him to weld in the early 1970s. At 51, Brock said he’s been working on vehicles all of his life. “I grew up watching him race and picked up on that gene because I had a need for speed and a creative urge,” Brock said of his father. “We call it the intersection of art and speed.” The Santa Fe-based artist said he has been customizing motorcycles all of his life, but he first began working on building cars in 2008. Brock said if he sees a candidate for customization, he begins building vehicles from scratch, looking to satisfy both the aesthetic and speedy nature of

a vehicle. “It’s all about aesthetics to me. It’s got to be something where the whole thing comes together as a work of art,” Brock said. Brock said he and his associates at his studio hold an appreciation for vehicles from the late ’50s and ’60s, where post-war vehicles were inspired by aerodynamic design. In 2009, Brock and two apprentices created the Buick in three months. The car, he said, is loaded with a 1950 straight 8-power Buick road master engine. “That car really transcends all generations. It’s the biggest compliment I’ve ever had for a piece of art,” Brock said. “When we took off, there were sweet, little old ladies taking pictures of the car.” The car is nicknamed “Bombshell Betty” and is currently the world record holder for the XO/GCC class of racecar. “Even people who don’t know they’re artists create objects of beauty because it’s inherent in trying to go faster,” Brock said, adding that people inherently create objects of beaut, even if they don’t know they’re artists. “Bombshell Betty” can go as fast as 170 mph, and each year it’s designed to drive faster. “For one thing, to run the car is like a drug high that isn’t drugs,” Brock said. “I’ve been everywhere and done everything. That feeling, to build something and to develop a relationship enough with it to risk your life across the earth, is a ridiculous high.” — Follow Arts reporter Casey Knox @Knox_Casey

New bar offers Tucson-made beer BY kyle mittan

The Daily Wildcat A new downtown bar and restaurant aims to bring the best local craft and major-brewed beers together in one place. World of Beer celebrated the grand opening of its Tucson location Thursday. With more than 500 beers to choose from and a menu that runs the gamut, restaurant management said the idea behind the new location was to target Tucson’s college market and promote the local breweries. “The first Arizona location opened in Tempe on Mill Avenue, and it’s been a huge hit with the college market and with craft beer fans,” said Jen Pruett, a public relations associate for World of Beer. “So, similar to the ASU target market, obviously Tucson is near the U of A, so we’re definitely looking to be the hotspot for college students.” If the large selection of beer alone wasn’t enough to get the university community out to the downtown area, World of Beer has offers set aside just for local college students and faculty. World of Beer University offers $2 off select draft beers every Wednesday night for students and faculty at the UA and other colleges who show their school identification, said Justin Kent, the Tucson location’s general manager. As one of the first World of Beer locations to have a full kitchen, the bar offers a variety of menu items to choose from, including classic bar favorites like grilled cheese and Reuben sandwiches and noshing items, like tater tots and onion rings. Each item includes a suggestion for a beer that might go well with it. As far as Kent’s concerned, the bar’s location is what will keep people coming in. Situated at the corner of Fourth Avenue and

Guests enjoy drinks at the World of Beer grand opening on Thursday. The new restaurant is located in downtown Tucson on Congress Street.

Congress Street, just across from Hotel Congress, World of Beer sees its fair share of midday traffic even during the weekdays. “We picked this intersection because it’s busy and you have Fourth Avenue down there, so you have the college students. But you also have the eclectic downtown people that are going to come and enjoy the craft beer,” Kent said. “And then we have sports on TV all the time, so we might get the sports

enthusiasts.” Kent added that while the bar is geared toward the 21-and-older crowd, the restaurant is open to all ages until 7 p.m. Despite World of Beer’s status as a nationwide franchise, restaurant promoters said they were interested in working with the local breweries to sell their products as well. “More than anything, we want to help promote and showcase those breweries by doing tap takeovers,”

Pruett said. “If you’re maybe new to Tucson or to the craft brewery scene in Tucson, maybe World of Beer is a more well-known place where you might come and try a variety of beers from all the local brewing companies.” Kent said the response has been largely positive since the location held its soft-opening for family and friends of employees Tuesday. Patrons showed up nearly an hour early.

“We opened at what was supposed to be 8 o’clock, but we had a lot of people showing up at 7:15, so we decided to open early and just wing it,” Kent said. “Everyone did great.” World of Beer’s Tucson location is at 350 E. Congress Ave., Suite A. The location is open every day from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. — Follow Arts Editor Kyle Mittan @KyleMittan

Who, What, Wear Keith Huffman, history senior Who do you look up to for style? I watch a lot of Clinton [Kelly] on “What Not to Wear,” and he always yells at people for dressing badly. And so, every time I try to just put on a T-shirt and jeans, I feel bad, so I try not to do that. Now that the weather is finally beginning to cool down, what fall fashion are you most excited about? I love to wear sweaters. Just [cardigans] or pull over sweaters. How would you describe your style? I would say just casual, I guess. Can you tell me a little bit about what you’re wearing? I think I got my pants at PacSun and I know I got my shoes at JCPenney. And I got my bowtie at Ross.

How would you describe your style? Classic. Anything else? West Coast style, East Coast style? Yeah, I’m from the Northeast. I’m from New Jersey, so I get a lot of that New York style. Can you tell me a little bit about what you’re wearing? I live across the street from the Co-op, so I get a lot of my clothes from there. That’s basically everything I’m wearing right now except for my sunglasses … they’re prescriptions from an online website called Warby Parker. And they’re really great because they’re cheap sunglasses and they give a pair away for free to somebody in need whenever you buy one.

Who do you look up to for style? I’m usually dressed in my professor garb, but I get a lot of that from Wes Anderson

Now that the weather is finally beginning to cool down, what fall fashion are you most excited about? This sweater. This is my favorite sweater and it’s literally the first day I’ve been able to wear it again. So, that, and my coat.
