NEWS | SAFE BACKPACKS
Back-to-school shopping: Notebooks, pencils and bullet-resistant backpacks? BY VIANNEY CARDENAS @vk1059az
Notebooks, pencils and bullet-resistant backpacks are all school supplies that may be in your shopping cart this year. Right in time for the back-to-school season, several Tucson shoppers have seen bulletresistant backpacks in local stores. Yasir Sheikh, founder of Guard Dog Security, one of the companies behind the backpacks, introduced the idea in 2013 shortly after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Ranging between $100 and $300 per pack, the backpacks are level IIIA, which means it will cover a bullet from a small weapon, such as a .9 mm pistol and .44 Magnum handgun, but not high-velocity firearms, according to Sheikh. “We were getting a lot of requests for protection in public places against active shooters,” Sheikh said. “We thought of what might be the most practical solution to that problem, and we landed on a backpack.” Unlike bullet-resistant vests, Sheikh says a backpack is easier to move around depending on where the threat is. You have the option to move the backpack in front of you, move it over your head or move it to cover your vital organs. In terms of the look and feel, the backpacks don’t look drastically different than an ordinary backpack. They come in different
colors and have several functions and features, like a built-in charging bank. “They also weigh around one more pound than a non-armored backpack,” Sheikh said. Just like the backpacks seen in Tucson stores, people all over the country have seen them at their local store, leading to an increase in sales over the past few weeks, according to Sheikh. Sheikh doesn’t attribute the spike in sales to a specific reason, but mentions the back-toschool season and the recent shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. “Shootings in this country don’t just happen in one single place,” Sheikh said. “There is no one place where people feel safer than others. It’s gotten to the point where people are looking for protection anywhere and anytime.” Guard Dog Security has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, according to Sheikh. “People are happy that there is something out there that satisfies their concerns,” he said. Sheikh also mentioned that Guard Dog Security has an anti-panel and anti-inserts stance, meaning they do not sell removable inserts and panels for their products. “We don’t think that bulletproof protection should be removed, especially if you’re giving it to a kid that can easily take it out of their bag,” he said. Office Depot and OfficeMax locations in Tucson were carrying the backpacks earlier

this summer. Changes in stock may have made them more difficult to find; however, Sheik did not believe that stores would stop carrying them. According to NBC News, 40% of adults that filled out a Morning Consult poll said they were “very concerned” about the potential for their children’s schools to have a shooting. Nearly half indicated that they would be willing to buy a bullet-resistant backpack. If you don’t see the backpacks in store, you can purchase them on the Guard Dog Security
website or The Home Depot and Bed Bath & Beyond online stores. Guard Dog Security doesn’t promote their backpacks to be the only solution to the overall issue. “We are not here to say this is the end all be all solution,” Sheikh said. “But it is one of the elements of what needs to be done.” As of Sept. 2, all bulletproof backpacks at Office Depot have been sent back to the factory due to a corporate decision.

SPIE to be new endowed chair for Optical Sciences BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11
SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics technology, is the most recent organization to add its name to an endowed faculty chair position with the University of Arizona James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences, rewarding the college with a $500,000 grant. “We are incredibly grateful to SPIE and to James C. Wyant for the opportunity they have given us,” said Thomas Koch, the dean of the College of Optical Sciences, in a UA press release. Back in November 2018, James C. Wyant and his family’s $20 million gift established the Distinguished Endowed Chair Fund, which created 10 new faculty chairs. “Consequently, James made the offer that if a donor would make a $500,000 gift, they could actually name one of the chairs,” said Kaye Rowan, the senior director of development for the College of Optical Sciences. “SPIE obviously has a great interest in seeing the technology of optics and photonics continue to advance, so they believe that this would be an excellent opportunity to invest in an endowed chair to make certain a professor brings forward the technology for this generation.” According to a news release published by the College of Optical Sciences, Kent Rochford, the CEO for SPIE, said that its endowed chair symbolizes the society’s mission to partner with researchers and educators in order to advance lightbased research and technologies. “As a not-for-profit educational charity, SPIE is uniquely positioned to devote resources that create a larger pipeline of scientists and engineers knowledgeable about optics,” Rochford said in the news release. “We are keenly aware of the Wyant College of Optical Sciences’ commitment to emerging new leaders in optics and are eager to support a faculty member who will teach future generations of leaders to excel.” Since the SPIE grant met the challenge that came with Wyant’s gift, $1.5 million goes toward the SPIE endowed chair. As a result, Rowan said that the

SPIE endowed chair of optical sciences will have a $2 million dollar balance between the SPIE and Wyant Gifts. Both Rowan and Koch said that the College of Optical Sciences and SPIE has had a strong partnership for many decades and have various alumni and current faculty members involved with the society. “They hold two very important conferences every year that we go to,” Koch said. “Our faculty presents papers there and we learn from other researchers that attend from other universities. They have been a very important part of our activity in the college.” Unlike other grants, the money donated is not dedicated to one specific research area; the College of Optical Sciences can use the money for any new program or research they want to grow. “The whole purpose of these endowed chairs is to not actually have them toward a specialized research
interest,” Rowan said. “That way, we can be receptive to what new programs or new research that will be coming up now or in the future. There is no restriction on these endowed chairs, so it keeps it very broad and open in order to be receptive of what’s needed in the field.” When it comes to deciding what to do with the grant, Koch and the rest of the faculty have numerous ideas and are figuring out what research they feel is important to expand on. “Every year, we have an offsite faculty retreat where we try to plot our path into the future and figure out what are the important areas that we should be investing more deeply in,” Koch said. “Now we have the capability to really act on that. There was about a half dozen new areas that we really want to grow and get more deeply into and almost all of those areas are areas that SPIE are very active in.” In addition to the grant, the SPIE endowed chair allows the College of
Optical Sciences the opportunity to evolve and get exciting new faculty members. “It’s actually giving us a way to grow and expand the college,” Koch said. “So these are not just honorary titles that we are bestowing on existing faculty, these are creating entirely new faculty positions for the college. It really represents a way for us to expand the college and, in doing that, we get an opportunity to attract really good people and faculty.” Koch welcomes SPIE with open arms and is excited to see how the college grows from the help of the endowed chair. “It’s exciting,” Koch said. “We feel like we are a rocket-ship fueled up and ready to go; we just have to make sure we know where we are going.”

UA Optical Sciences professor contributes to new tech for the blind Hong Hua, an Optical Sciences professor at the University of Arizona, helped develop the technology to invent a pair of high-resolution goggles that helps legally blind people see BY ALANA MINKLER @alana_minkler
Hua and a graduate student, Jason Kuhn, worked with eSight Corporation to release this innovative product to the public. The Daily Widcat sat down with her to discuss her recent findings. Daily Wildcat: What kind of technology did you invent? Hong Hua: So, the technology that we developed for this Canadian company eSight was actually done a couple years ago with the idea, we call it a goggle, to help people with severely deviated and degraded vision, legally blind they may say. They are not able to read a regular size of the text or even not being able to recognize your face at this distance. They can only read the biggest level on the eye chart or maybe not even that. DW: How does the technology work? HH: This technology, when you put it on, has cameras and a light sensor and the camera captures the environment or even someone talking to you. So I can put this on and this will take pictures of you and that video will be fed to the computer system and that will also connect them to very small pixels— we call them micro displace— and that functions like your monitor. And then, the core-piece was the optics that we designed for them. The optics are going to magnify the image and project it into space and so you can see that at a comfortable distance. And then the control system here would allow you to, for example, zoom or magnify the pictures at a significantly larger magnification ratio so that your face would appear much bigger. So, you can imagine a person with very low vision, they would be able to magnify the picture and be able to see your face at a larger scale, about two to three times bigger, so they can read a text. And then some people not only had compromised vision, but they also are not able to read the contents with the regular contrast, so they might be able to read when the image is a higher contrast. DW: How did you come up with the idea for this? HH: I have been working on this type of technology for a long time, but not necessarily this particular application. We have been developing optics technology for virtual reality and augmented reality applications and we’ve developed different types of systems before this one. What’s intriguing to me is that I was approached by a very small company and they had this idea to assist people with vision problems, and I was fascinated by the application to do something that could help them develop something that helps people improve their quality of life and live more independently and I thought it was a very cool thing to do.

TLA LICENSING MANAGER FOR the College of Optical Sciences Kennedy Nyairo gets a demo of the eSight system from inventor Hong Hua.
DW: What was the end cost? HH: The end cost was around $10,000 to $15,000 for users and I think today it’s $5,000 to $6,000. I’m sure as users adopt the technology, the cost will go down.
to a university that had a really good optics program in China ... I never got the chance to get into telescopes, but I wanted to get my hands into virtual reality, so I started going into this specialized optics technology.
DW: What was the biggest challenge? HH: The biggest challenge for us actually was designing optics to match their specific was difficult because this was the first time using this type of design and pixels. The requirements on the optics technology is demanding because you want the pixels to be small and you want an end image quality to be high and also allow the room to magnify, and so that imposed a big challenge for us. The other challenge was to design them, fine-tune, demonstrate and then hand the design off to the industry.
DW: Did you think it would go into helping legally blind people? HH: No, I didn’t think so. But since I started as a professor at the U of A, I was always fascinated about applying my research to a more practical application that can help people.
DW: How did you get interested in optics technology? HH: To be in honest, when I got into college, I wanted to study science and technology. And at the time, what fascinated me was astronomy and I wanted to develop telescopes. As a child, that’s the only thing I knew about. I chose to study optics when I went to college and I went
DW: What could a student do if they wanted to invent something to help people in need? HH: I always say to students that optics is universal, and if you have in mind that you want to help people to do things better, you can always find a way to do it. I think most of the time, when the opportunity presents itself in front of you, you grab it and you do it.

NEWS | STUDENT HOUSING
Highland dorms open, despite rumors otherwise BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @nessamagnifique
Two old Highland District stand-bys, Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall and Hopi Residence Hall, welcomed incoming students for move-in this past week, despite reports last year that they would be closed for good. “At one time last year, we did discuss not opening those buildings just based on perceived demand that we were looking at at the time,” said Ali Santander, assistant director of marketing and communications for Housing & Residential Life. Last semester, members of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, the UA’s undergraduate student government, expressed concern over the shuttering of the dorms, as they were two lower-cost options for on-campus living. “I am concerned that these two dorms, that are more accessible to lower income students were held in an effort to push students into the new Honors Village to reach its occupancy limit,” said former ASUA president Natalynn Masters at an ASUA Senate meeting on April 3. While some ASUA members, like
Masters, speculated that the closing of Graham-Greenlee and Hopi was a push to get students to live in higher-priced spots on campus, Santander denied this. At the April 3 meeting, she told the senators that expected UA enrollment was low and that these dorms had been selected for closure because of their proximity to the construction of the new Student Success District and that their price had not been a factor. However, this year the UA received more freshman applications than ever before, over 40,000 according to a UA News press release. Over 10,000 new students enrolled this semester. “Over the spring semester, it was determined that there was a need for those spaces on campus,” Santander said. “And so we added those buildings back into our inventory and let the residents of those buildings know that if they wanted to return to Hopi or Graham-Greenlee, they could do so.” This year, the only dorm not open to residents is Yavapai. It is currently undergoing “renovations and modernization,” according to Santander, and is expected to open back up next school year.

ZonaZoo and how to get involved BY AMIT SYAL @ASyal21
What is ZonaZoo? For any freshman walking the halls during their first week of college, they are bound to hear the word “ZonaZoo” at least once. Sports are a big part of life as a college student at the University of Arizona, and with that comes a crucial aspect: the fans that show up to cheer on the Wildcats during the sporting events. According to the official ZonaZoo website, “the ZonaZoo is the official student section and student-ticketing program for UA Athletics. A ZonaZoo membership is your all access pass for all sporting events at the UA.” The ZonaZoo offers three different memberships: Red, White and Blue. Blue membership: The Blue membership offers admission to more than 11 sports, including football, baseball, softball, volleyball. This membership excludes admission to the men’s basketball games and football
admission is limited only to the first 5,581 students. In addition, the Blue membership offers priority for bowl game tickets and the complementary ZonaZoo t-shirt. White membership: The White membership offers admission to all sports and is designed for graduate students who have paid the athletic fee. In addition, students with the White membership will receive the complementary ZonaZoo t-shirt. Football admission is limited to the first 5,581 students and basketball admission is based on a first come, first served basis. Red membership: The Red membership is the most inclusive membership for undergraduate students. This membership includes admission to all sports on campus. Students with the red membership will receive the complementary ZonaZoo t-shirt and priority purchase for postseason tickets. Just like the other memberships, football admission is
limited to the first 5,581 students and basketball admission is based on a first come, first serve basis. In addition, students with the Red or Blue membership qualify for the Student Wildcat Club for an additional $25. This club allows memberships to have advanced reservations and exclusive seating for basketball games. In addition, SWC members are the first to be allowed to buy bowl game tickets and receive a complementary SWC shirt. “ZonaZoo is a place of passion, pride and spirit. When it comes to U of A, we want to represent and support our school in the most uplifting and positive manner,” a ZonaZoo official email said, “All in aim to become a unified student population, and proudly wear the Red and Blue.” The UA’s ZonaZoo section has received national recognition. In 2015 and 2018, the ZonaZoo was named the NCSSA Student Section of the Year.

One of the officers got in contact with the Pima County Juvenile Detention Center. A worker there told officers to release the boys to their parents, which they ultimately did. One of the officers noticed that the parents seemed to know each other, so he told them that the fifth boy, the one who had managed to slip away from the golf cart and police chase, could turn himself in. At around 1:40 a.m., the fifth boy arrived at the UAPD station and turned himself in. His account of the night matched the ones given by his friends and he was released to his parents as well. The golf cart suffered no apparent damage.
responded that he did not find the request reasonable but ultimately did as he was told. Outside the library, the officer explained that the man was no longer allowed on any UA-owned property as the officer issued an exclusionary order. The man accepted the order and walked away, though he recorded the encounter with the officer on his phone.

Another year, another stolen golf cart. However, the members of the group behind this classic crime were barely old enough to drive at all! A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol when he saw a golf cart without any lights on come out of the Cherry Avenue Parking Garage at approximately 11 p.m. on Aug. 17. Inside the cart were five boys. After noticing some erratic driving from the cart, the officer began to follow it with his vehicle’s emergency lights on. The boys soon pulled the cart over and ran out. The officer alerted other officers to the situation. He managed to catch up to and detain one of the boys. Other officers caught three of the other boys. All of the boys in the cart were revealed to be minors. The first officer spoke to the first boy, the one he caught. The first boy told him that he and the others had been drinking and celebrating one of the boy’s birthdays when the group decided to head to the university’s campus and search for a golf cart they could drive. They finally discovered an empty golf cart near McKale Center. One of the boys reportedly had a “universal” golf cart key that he used to operate the cart. According to one of the boys, they each took turns driving and another boy said he was unsure who had driven because he was in the back of the cart. Only one of the boys had alcohol still in his system, according to the results of a preliminary breathalyzer test that the boys were all given after being caught. The officers charged the getaway driver with a class five felony for unlawful use of means of transportation. The three passengers were charged with a class six felony,
Though libraries may be a place for all knowledge and records of the past, recording students in a library may lead to an encounter with UAPD. A UAPD officer responded to a call from an employee at the Science and Engineering Library regarding a man recording students in the library on Aug. 17 at around 2:30 p.m. When he arrived, the officer spoke to the employee, who told him that a man had been recording students in the library, which is against library policy. When the employee told the man to stop and explained the rules, he ceased recording for a brief time before resuming. The employee described the man’s attitude as argumentative but not hostile or dangerous, and requested he be removed from the building. The officer contacted a sergeant who had interacted with the man the day before when he attempted to attend orientation, despite not being a student. The officer learned that the man had actually had three meetings with UAPD officers in the past and decided that an exclusionary order from all UA-owned property was necessary. Shortly after speaking with the sergeant, the officer found the man using a computer. He told the man that recording students was not allowed in the library. According to the officer, the man began to loudly argue with him and the officer asked that he lower his voice. He asked the man to take his things and follow him outside. When the man continued to argue, the officer told him if he did not comply, he would be failing to meet a reasonable request, which was grounds for arrest. The man
When spray painting graffiti between two residence halls, there is not much room for error — unless you want to get caught. An officer arrived at Coronado Residence Hall just after midnight on Aug. 18. A resident assistant told her that at least two men, including one wearing a mask with a long nose, like the kind a person would wear at Mardi Gras, had been spray painting in the alley between Coronado Residence Hall and Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall. When another officer made his way to the alley, he saw two men running away but managed to speak with one of three men that were there. The second officer spoke with the first man, asking if the man knew why he was trying to talk to him. “Because we are making art,” the first man reportedly said. The “art” in question, was an 8-by-6 foot spray painting of a mushroom with a face, done with red, pink and purple paint, according to reports. The second officer detained him while the other two men were interviewed. The original officer to arrive at the scene spoke to the second and third men. The second man told her that he had spray painted the drawing on the wall. The third man initially denied spray painting the drawing but later said he had painted in the same area as the second man. He also confessed to having a CBD oil container on him. The contents of the container tested positive for THC. He was also the man holding the Mardi Gras mask, though the first man had been the one originally wearing it. The officers cited and released the first and second men for criminal damage. The third man was arrested on charges of possession of narcotic drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal damage graffiti. The first officer to arrive on scene handcuffed him and brought him to Pima County Jail.

NEWS | HIRING CONTROVERSY
Five things to know about the recent legal claim filed against UA BY CLAUDE AKINS @ claude_akins
B2B SALES
1. The allegations Anthony DeFrancesco, a former University of Arizona health care executive, has filed a legal claim worth $10 million against the university. DeFrancesco alleges he was fired in retaliation by Dr. Michael Dake, the current senior vice president of UA Health Sciences, after DeFrancesco’s husband, the search committee co-chair, cautioned against Dake’s hiring. The claim also alleges that DeFrancesco was discriminated against because of his sexual orientation. 2. The Dake-Robbins connection The claim, which was obtained via a public records request by the Arizona Daily Star, alleges that Dake was hired because of his close relationship with President Dr. Robert C. Robbins. Both Dake and Robbins worked at Stanford University for more than 20 years and, upon his hiring last year, Robbins called him a “pioneer” with a “visionary leadership style.” Dake implanted the world’s first thoracic stent-graft in 1992, according to his UA profile. 3. The job The senior vice president of Health Sciences is a powerful position, with a starting salary of $875,000, making him the highest paid employee outside of the athletics department, tied with the president himself. Head basketball coach Sean Miller and head football coach Kevin Sumlin make $2.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively. 4. Surgery scandals The claim alleges Dake was not qualified and that he was “at or near the bottom” of the search committee’s ranking, according to the Star. Dake once performed an experimental surgical operation for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, or CCSVI, a theory that purports the cause of multiple sclerosis to be blocked veins that cause iron to “back up in the brain and damage nerves,” according to a 2012 New York Times article. He was the first surgeon to ever perform the operation and was later sued by two other patients on whom he

The lawyer who filed the 2012 lawsuit claimed “Dr. Dake conducted unproven, high-risk procedures on his patients to address a hypothetical condition that numerous medical experts either questioned or did not believe existed.” 5. Not the first senior vice president issue Former senior vice president of Health Sciences, Joe “Skip” Garcia, abruptly stepped down from the position in 2016 after scrutiny surrounding the UA medical school in Phoenix. When the Phoenix dean Stuart Flynn left for a position in Texas, so did his senior staff, prompting concerns over Garcia’s leadership and an independent review by the Arizona Board of Regents. Garcia also came under fire for his expenses, when the Arizona Republic reported that he used a private chauffeur to take him back and forth from Phoenix to Tucson for $475 to $575 a trip.

IN THE HALLWAY LEADING to the stage, patrons can see a list of people that are a part of the four house teams. Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed was the founding house team for the theater.
Laugh and improvise with Unscrewed Theater BY NICHOLAS TRUJILLO @fantastic_nick
A quick look at the sign will tell you all you need to know — things just aren’t normal in this theater. At the Unscrewed Theater, currently located at 4500 E. Speedway Blvd., improv-comedy stands tall. “This is 100 percent local,” said Chris Seidman, executive director of the theater. “We’re about as grassroots as you can get . . . Everyone involved with the organization is a volunteer. Nobody gets paid, not even me.” The theater’s inception Unscrewed Theater has been performing for the locals in Tucson for five years in brick and mortar, but according to Seidman and his wife Gayla Gongwer, its creation dates back even before the brick and mortar. Seidman was a part of the founding team Not Burn Out Just Unscrewed, which would perform in various
locations all across Tucson. “Over the time, we’d just perform in bars, restaurants, coffee houses and even the Bookmans on Speedway for a long time,” Seidman said. “Finally, we got to a point where we were performing in regular places every Friday.” According to Seidman and Gongwer, the schedule was: on Fourth Avenue the first Friday, at a church the second Friday and even at a coffee shop in Marana on the fourth Friday. “My friends wouldn’t stay up that late,” Gongwer said. “I had to find something else to do . . . So I’m Googling around and I found these guys [the group]. I saw the show and I said, ‘I am hooked on whatever this nonsense is.’” After performing in the same areas, the group started to pick up on regulars that would attend, Gongwer being one of the regulars at the Marana location, then decided to make it easier on the team and have a central location where the regulars could come to them.
“Once we decided that that’s what we’re gonna do, we filed for a 501(c)(3) for the theater,” Seidman said. According to 501c3.org, a 501(c) (3) company is “the portion of the US Internal Revenue Code that allows for federal tax exemption of nonprofit organizations, specifically those that are considered public charities, private foundations or private operating foundations.” Once the theater got the nonprofit status, they started to raise funds and look for volunteers through handling ticket sales at the front door or even having shows. The teams You can’t be just any geek off the street — you have to be handy with wordplay. The group held auditions for more teams, or what Seidman calls “house teams.” There are four house teams at Unscrewed Theater. Leaky Faucet is a three-person team
that takes suggestions at the beginning of their performance. From there they create a persona they use throughout the entire bit. “For the rest of their performance, those characters interact with each other through the course of a few short scenes,” Seidman said. “They figure out the relationships at the same time as the audience is figuring these things out and how these characters are connected.” Comic Chaos is a group that takes suggestions, but in the form of unusual superpowers. From there, the group creates a skit that takes place over “two to four issues” according to Seidman. Each issue takes place over a 30-minute period. From the Top is a group that performs musical numbers based off the suggestions it gets. “There’s a live piano accompaniment and together they just create musicals to be seen one time and one time only,”

Seidman said. The last team, Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed, is the founding team of Unscrewed Theater. They create games and scenes with audience members that play on the nostalgia of the show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” “I’ve played with many of my cast mates for over ten years and the bond I feel with them is unique,” said Michael Vietinghoff, a 14-year member of the team. “I’m also a fan of short-form improv because of its wide audience accessibility.” While the teams may not be competing against each other, they are still one big family. “Like any good family, there’s always a healthy dose of dysfunction,” Gongwer said. “There has to be, otherwise you’d just be sailing way too smooth.” How its used now The theater is not only home to funny shows. It also teaches people how to be funny. On the side of the building rests a smaller facility to serve as the home to Unscrewed
Center, where classes on improv are held. But according to Seidman, it also doubles as a community center that people can rent for other uses. “If there are any groups or clubs on campus that aren’t able to get meeting space, we have that available,” Seidman said. The center is currently being redone to have a limited art gallery, so actors won’t be performing within blank walls during classes. The theater has even been used in a wedding, according to Seidman, and is also home to events that are hosted by people who have taken the improv classes before on the same day. “Our shows are highly interactive where most live shows are not,” Vietinghoff said. “It’s the only live performance where the cast members are discovering the show along with the audience. Plus, I think adults like watching other adults play and agree with each other and have fun; it harkens back to playing pretend as a child.” For more information on shows, classes or the general location of the theater, you can check out their website at unscrewedtheater.org.

Head Coach Fred Harvey enters 17th season with Arizona BY CLARISSA EDWARDS @ClarissaEdwar16
Head Coach Fred Harvey will be the director of the University of Arizona’s men and women’s cross country/track and field team for his 17th season. Harvey has been with the University of Arizona leading athletes to numerous victories all over the world. With a bachelor’s degree from Cal Poly, he is no stranger to success. Alongside him is the head coach for cross country, James Li. He was born in Chengdu, China, and was granted citizenship to the United States in 1998. He attended Washington State University, where he received his masters degree in bio-mechanics in 1987. In 1993, he finished with a doctorate in educational athletic administration. He was involved with cross country/track and field for 13 years and has been a member of Arizona staff for 17 years. A former University of Arizona student and cross country athlete, Hanna Peterson will be an assistant coach to the 2019-2020 cross country team. She helped coach the United States Air Force’s team in 2017. This season, she will be returning back to her
roots to coach for the Wildcats. The men’s cross country team consists of ten athletes this season. Two of the athletes, Collin Dylla and Carlos Villarreal are both seniors and Arizona natives. The women’s cross country team has 15 athletes representing the UA for the 2019 season. The teams competing will be ASU, Grand Canyon University and our local Wildcats. On September 13 at 4:45 p.m. MST, the team will be competing at the Dave Murray Invitational in Tucson. On October 4 (time to be announced), the team will be competing at the Notre Dame Joe Piane Cross Country Invitational in South Bend, N.D. On October 19 (time to be announced), the team will be competing at the PreNCAA Cross Country Invitational in Terre Haute, Ind. On November 1 at 11:00 A.M.

Terre Haute, Ind. Competing for the NCAA Championships. Arizona’s cross country team has a lot ahead of them, and with a team like theirs, a successful season should be expected.
’Cats soccer ranked 4th in Pac-12 conference BY JACOB MENNUTI @jacob_mennuti
Arizona women’s soccer enters the 2019 season with high expectations after Head Coach Tony Amato called this year’s roster “the fittest team we’ve had.” The Wildcats kick off the year a bit later than usual after the season opener at home against Long Beach State, which was originally scheduled for last Thursday, was canceled due to severe thunderstorms. Instead, Arizona will opened up the season on Friday, August 30 against Weber State as part of the annual Sun Devil Classic in Tempe, Ariz. The squad is poised for improvement after finishing sixth in the conference last season with an overall record of 13-6-2. This year’s team comes in at No. 31 in the preseason coaches poll, which is the fourth highest in the Pac-12 conference. Arizona brings back eight of its starters from last season, including it’s entire backline anchored by senior defenders Samantha Falasco, and Morgan McGarry. On the attacking side, the Cats are headlined by junior forward Jada Talley and sophomore Brooke Wilson. Talley checked in at No. 65 in the preseason top 100 players, according to TopDrawerSoccer, after leading the team with seven goals in 2018.
LEXI HORSEY | THE DAILY WILDCAT
ARIZONA’S WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM getting ready for the game against Washington State on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2019 at Mulcahy Stadium. The final score was a 2-1, a win for the Wildcats.
Wilson missed most of her freshman year last season with a leg injury but impressed when healthy, racking up three goals in her nine games last season. Madison Goerlinger is another player to keep an eye out for in the 2019 season. The freshman standout played 56 minutes in the preseason tune-up match against San Diego. Goerlinger was a dual-sport athlete in high
school and named the Defensive MVP of her league. She also made Second Team All-League her freshman year while setting the school record for sprint medley, 300-meter hurdles and 400-meter dash on her track team. The most interesting position group of this years’ team is the goalkeeper. Arizona will have to replace the program leader in career shutouts and member of the Orlando Pride,
Lainey Burdett. The Wildcats have two players on the roster that they hope can fill the void: redshirt freshman Kendyll Humphreys and true freshman Hope Hisey. Although Humphreys did not start in any games last season, she was a three-star recruit out of high school and played behind Burdett all of last season, giving her plenty of experience to emerge as the starter. Hisey is from Tucson and was named FirstTeam All-Conference at Canyon Del Oro High School while also playing for FC Tucson during that time. Both keepers each played one half against San Diego, with Humphreys playing the first half, so the starting job will be a big question to be answered this season. Arizona is tasked with a much tougher schedule this year, featuring non-conference home games against TCU and UC Irvine. Some difficult road games include playing No. 19 Santa Clara and No. 3 Stanford who went undefeated in conference play last season with an overall record of 21-1-2. The ’Cats will also host UCLA on Oct. 3 and USC on Oct. 6 at Mulcahy Stadium. UCLA enters the season ranked No. 4 in the country while the Trojans are ranked No. 5. Catch the Wildcats for it’s first home game of the season against Oklahoma on Friday, Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. After that, they will host UC Irvine at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 8.

Hang Outs
With syllabus week in the past, the stress of the semester is not far behind. It’s essential that everyone has a place they can go and unwind. If you’re anything like me and eating is your favorite pastime, you will enjoy No Anchovies. It’s the perfect place to go with your girls (or bros) on a Friday night after classes. The atmosphere is always chill, and what better way to relax than with a slice of pizza or some wings? If you’re looking for a calm atmosphere that will allow you to still get work done, Scented Leaf is the place for you. At Scented Leaf, you can grab a cup of hot or cold tea, indulge in desserts and get some work done. For my 21-and-up crowd, Gentle Ben’s or Frog & Firkin is the perfect place to go to grab a drink and unwind with friends. The music and atmosphere are a definite mood-booster.

I think the best place to study near campus is Raging Sage on Campbell Avenue and Grant Road. The coffee there tastes divine, from what coffeedrinkers tell me. If you’re like me and detest coffee, their cream sodas are the most refreshing treat you could ask for on hot days. They also have great Wi-Fi connection, and the inside is nice and cozy. Since it’s off campus, it’s more chill and low-key than places like Starbucks and Panera, where I see many students studying. I think sometimes it’s worth it to leave campus to get work done, especially seeing as it’s right up the street.
If you’re anything like me, you know that relaxation is an important part of the college lifestyle. Finding a place to chill and hang before or after class is just as important as finding where your classes are. One of the best places to hang out and stay cool is in the pavilion across from the Center for Creative Photography. If you’re just looking to beat the heat or people-watch, go there. You can visit the art museum while you’re there or even watch the plethora of people walking quickly or slowly down the underpass. I’ve seen people run into bikes, bikes run into people and even people run into people, so let’s just say this is a hotspot to catch a few laughs while also relaxing to the fullest. Campus is full of mini-adventures and relaxation spots, but this is one of the best. There is plenty of shade and plenty of views to help chill you to your bones. At the end of the day, wherever you end up, remember that relaxation is just as important as doing well in class. You got this! Bear down and relax, bro!
Ariday Sued
My favorite place to be has to be the one and only Time Market. Although Time Market is on University Boulevard, it’s far enough down near Fourth Avenue that it feels off-campus. Time Market has a very relaxed atmosphere that is aided by its certain aesthetic. It feels very rustic because it is a longtime Tucson favorite. The music, people, food and vibes are what attracts me back there at least once or twice a week. My favorite thing to do is go in there and order their caprese sandwich (which is the best in town) with a slice of cheese pizza that they actually cook in a wood fired oven. I could rave about their food all day, but no, seriously, it is just that good. Going there to just study and drink a root beer or even to have a bite with some friends is always a good idea because it’s never actually too overcrowded.

ARTS & LIFE | IMPRESSIVE FRESHMAN
Fresh meat and fresh beats: Poetry Out Loud state champ BY VIANNEY CARDENAS @vk1059az
Edgardo Aguilar, a Tucson native, former Desert View High School student, and now a University of Arizona freshman acquired one more important title this year: “2019 Arizona Poetry Out Loud State Champion.” The Daily Wildcat spoke with Aguilar to discuss his inspirations, his experiences, his thought process behind his poems and his favorite lyrics at the moment. Daily Wildcat: How did you grow an interest for poetry? Where did the passion come from? Edgardo Aguilar: I wouldn’t say poetry became a big passion for me. Poetry’s existence really came into my life through rap music, hip-hop, a lot of the music I listen to. I didn’t start writing poetry ‘til about my sophomore year in high school. At that point, it was more of something I was just, you know, flirting with a bit. I remember I did a poem for a class project and it was just a quick little thing you know, just noodling around with it, see what I can do. It was fun, but when I got really passionate about it was the next year, junior year, when I wrote three poems to three people who were pretty much going to be gone from my life. One of them was a senior and she was a good friend so I decided to write her a poem. The other two were for twin sisters who I was really close to, so I just had to give them a big thank you because they weren’t going to be in my life a whole lot anymore. I wanted to let them know how they impacted me and how I felt about them. DW: What are the major themes and messages that are prevalent in your poems? EA: Lately, it’s been really different. Different styles of poems, different messages. Some are deep, some are mundane, you know, some are just real funny and silly, things like that. When I started writing my big personal poem in the beginning of my senior year. I didn’t finish it towards the end. I’d say that one was probably my deepest poem. That one was just about, well, I wouldn’t say just about, it about a lot of things, but the main points in it are solidarity, becoming a man and being okay with being vulnerable. DW: What is it about the artists and lyricists like Nas and Rakim that inspired your poetry? EA: When you hear from a very young age, you don’t necessarily get the message. You like the rhythm, you like their flow or you like the way they have a spin on words. So you mimic that. Eventually, you know all the lyrics to the song and you sing along to it or whatever. It is not until you get older where you start to think about what you’re saying. Some of these cats like Rakim, Nas, Eminem, Tupac, they make you start to think about what messages they are really saying in their rhymes. It speaks a lot to people who are from low income areas they see certain bad things in their schools and their everyday lives, but they’re being real about it and they’re saying something that you can relate to, at least I can relate to. I mean, not all the times, but there are certain things that you can relate to. It’s just truthful. DW: You’ve written dozens of poems over the years. You mentioned it earlier, but tell us about a poem that still resonates
with you and still impacts you. EA: Yeah, that’ll be my senior poem. I spent the whole year working on that. I was in class and sometimes a phrase would come to me, so I would write it down. It’s a long poem, around four pages, if I recall. I felt like I might as well stand in the room naked just because of how exposed I felt when I wrote that poem. It felt good. I was able to have a direction of where I wanted to go with the poem. The journey getting there gave me time to discover what I really wanted from high school on out. It really led me into a direction of realizing that I don’t want college to be my only focus. I want college to be my secondary type of thing. I have a goal to just be a decent man, which doesn’t seem too hard to obtain. I want that to be my primary goal. DW: You now hold the title of the “2019 Arizona Poetry Out Loud State Champ.” Congrats on that. What does this mean to you? How has it impacted your life? EA: You know, I’m not real braggadocious. It doesn’t really mean too much to me. Even at the very beginning at the school competition, I was thinking I already got this far, it’s cool. It just so happened that it kept going and going and I just stuck to my guns and let it ride. Luckily I was able to get that far. But I’d say the best part and the most educational part didn’t really come from the trophy or the hype. It really came from what happened after the national competition, when we all went down to the basement and all had a poetry circle. We all just recited poems, some people sang, some people made up funny poems. Eventually, we just started playing games with each other it was just fun. We did that till 5 in the morning. That was the best part, just because 48 hours ago, I didn’t know you and now here we are in the basement of a hotel and we just are really spilling out how we feel and we’re relating to each other. We felt like there was some type of connection, like we were intertwined in a way, even if we’re from different parts of the country. DW: Looking at the next couple of years, what does your future in poetry look like? EA: It’s hard to say. I don’t have a set plan, like “Okay, I want to become a professional poet or whatever.” I do plan to continue writing, whether it’s strictly a personal thing or if I don’t get anything from it, whatever the case I’m fine with that. Writing poems on my own is a reward in itself. I just want to find a tone, I want to find a voice, I want to find a style, a signature thing. DW: Do you have plans to get involved with the UA Poetry Center and bring in your innovative ideas? EA: I would like to see what I can do there. I made it a point to at least get involved in a creative writing class in the future, which it will give me more time to develop my tone, my style and get more comfortable when doing poetry. But I know that when I need to get away from home, or get away from school, I can head down to the Poetry Center and study, relax and gather myself. DW: Lastly, we have gathered lyrics from some of the artists that may or may not have inspired you. We would like to see what you think about these lyrics and how you interpret them. First up is “Back When” by Nas. “Before there was an audience to watch us — I assure you there was a process.” EA: Yeah. Before the fame, there was a process. I don’t know if Nas actually did do it, but I know a lot of cats from New York,

they would go down and battle. Have you ever seen the movie 8 Mile? You know towards the end, or even in the beginning, they have rap battles. Well, they would battle each other, and it was a way of going there and show off your skills. But when he talks about the process, I think he is talking about grinding out lyrics, finding a flow, writing on your own before anyone was interested. DW: Next one is “C.R.E.A.M.” by Wu-Tang Clan, Raekwon. “I grew up on the crime side, The New York Times side / Staying alive was no jive / Had secondhands, Mom’s bounced on old man / So then we moved to Shaolin Land.” EA: Raekwon The Chef. I mean if you understand the slang, it’s pretty self explanatory. In that moment, he was saying he was born in a low economic class, mom bouncing old man, probably dad was being a bad person, so the mom decided to leave to Shaolin Land, which I believe is Staten Island. So, that’s where really everybody from Wu Tang came together. DW: Are there any other lyrics that you’re loving right now? EA: Oh man, there are so many right now, but I’m thinking of one specifically because it really fits the moment. My current transition phase from high school to college. Some people go to college, some don’t, some go to work, some go to the military. Along with that and being more free, because we’re no longer in high school, some people can change and evolve into who they really are. There is one Nas quote from his song “The Message” It goes, “But a thug changes (and) ... love changes and best friends become strangers.” I really like this at the moment because in high school, you grow up with some people you thought you were tight with, but they can change a bit. You think, “Wow, that was not the person I remember.” They’re going over here, you’re going over there, your heart changes. You were best friends, now you’re strangers.
