UA landmarks with haunted history

ince its opening in 1885, the UA has been home to thousands of people, some of whom have never left. Old Main, the university’s first building, was completed in 1891. Carlos Maldenado was one of the men who oversaw the construction of the building, and he seemed to be incredibly invested in it. At the time, Arizona was in a dispute over which city was to receive an insane asylum, a university or a teacher’s college, and the city of Tucson was heavily leaning toward the asylum. According to historian John Southard, Tucson ended up unfairly receiving the university, which caused discontentment in the city. Maldenado was so deeply invested in this project, that when people were supposedly planning to burn down Old Main in the middle of the night, he would sleep in the partially-built building to protect it. On one of the mornings when Maldenado had stayed the night at the construction site, his fellow workers called to him, but received no response. Thinking it was a practical joke, they entered and searched the building until they found him on the second floor, sitting in a chair at his desk. Once again, they tried sneaking up and

yelling at him, but there was still no response. As they moved closer to investigate, they saw a buffalo skinner’s knife thrust in Carlos’ throat. To this day, his death remains a mystery. It’s rumored Maldenado still roams his prized construction project from time to time, appearing before those who enter Old Main. Maricopa Residence Hall is another spooky spot on campus filled with urban legends. This particular residence hall is rumored to have three distinct ghosts roaming its hallways. The first two are said to be those of two dance hall girls who got into a bloody fight. The girls worked in rival saloons across from each other on Congress Street, and were in the same competitive business of pick-pocketing miners. One night, after arriving at a Spanish Cattle Rancho — now Maricopa dorm — the two women entered into a heated argument, which ended with one being stabbed and the other shot and killed. Although only one of the women died on the scene, both are said to be heard arguing in the halls of the dorm to this very day. Maricopa’s third ghost is the daughter of a wealthy Eastern Railroad robber baron. In 1919,

The facade of Old Main on Thursday. The ghost of Carlos Maldenado, a construction worker on Old Main back in the 19th century, is said to still haunt the hallways of the building.
while the residence hall was still under construction, it is said the girl went out to visit some of her friends in town, and caught sight of her fiancé with another woman. Overcome by sadness, she walked all the way back to campus sobbing. When construction workers came to work the next morning, they
found the young woman hanging from the bathroom ceiling gas pipes on the unfinished second floor. To this day, residents and visitors say the crying girl can still be heard on some dark, stormy nights. Next week is the UA’s 100th Homecoming celebration. One of the events during the week is

Disabled express depth through art
F
Ian Martella
rom the banners strewn across campus to the music we hear at almost all times of the day, we can see how art is integrated into every facet of our daily human existence. It is the healing side of art that we don’t see as often. Despite its impact on those it touches, many of us don’t get the chance to see art working its wonders. The ArtWorks’ “Desert Harvest” art show and open house allows one to experience a different side to artistic expression. ArtWorks is a program for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities that offers instruction in painting, drawing, creative movement, ceramics, music and fiber art. Through its instruction, ArtWorks’ 20 adult artists are able to express themselves in a respectful and friendly environment while developing life skills such as hygiene, social interaction, health awareness and literacy. This year, ArtWorks’ show has a desert theme, with pieces touching on the rich local flora and fauna that comprise Tucson’s diverse scenery. Yumi Shirai, ArtWorks’ program coordinator, described the process the artists use to produce their work. “We try to capture their uniqueness in a simple way,” Shirai said. “All of the ideas come from the artists themselves.” Facilitating a creative environment for artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities requires planning and attention on behalf of the program’s staff. Different artists are divided among the program’s four studios in order to make the creative environments conducive to each artist’s needs, Shirai said. The artists, who Shirai requested not be named, each produce their own distinct art styles. One artist, Shirai noted, shows the depth of his personality through his art, which is otherwise not immediately apparent to most people. “He is a very gentle guy who can’t really talk,” she said, explaining how his limited communication often hinders his ability to connect with others. “The pieces he makes are very expressive and very textured. They can turn out very aggressive

looking, but as a person, he is the most gentle soul.” Another of Shirai’s artists recently made an enormous step in her artistic development. “It’s very hard for her to go beyond her comfort [zone],” Shirai said. “Her comfort is flower and hearts. With that, she can design whatever.” Recently, however, with the encouragement of one of the student staff members, a change occurred in her art. “It’s very hard to encourage her to draw people,” Shirai said. “I think it’s a big breakthrough that she drew a picture of her mom
and dad.” The impact different staff members have on the artists is what makes ArtWorks such a rare experience, she added. “The connection between the worker and the artist [and] how they can bring out their real strengths is very important,” Shirai said. ArtWorks was founded in 1989 by Jeanne Carrigan and Mary Paulin. Both had backgrounds in various forms of art therapy, and they came together at the invitation of the university to begin work on an on-campus art therapy program. Carrigan,
Shirai’s mentor, can still be found at ArtWorks on some days, this time giving pedicures and manicures to the artists. “They feel fabulous … [and] are very grateful,” Carrigan said in a June 2011 issue of Family & Community Medicine. With independence and positive change as the ultimate goals of the program, ArtWorks strives to better the lives of those affected by intellectual and developmental disabilities. — Follow Ian Martella @DailyWildcat

Two psychics try conjuring spirits in historic landmark ALEXANDRA PALETTA
A
ccording to legend, the Hidden Room of Congress, spared by a fire in 1934, is now a source of mystical presences. It’s the perfect place for selfproclaimed experts, such as Kenneth Macabre and Miss Malanga, to summon spirits. Feeling an affinity for the spirits since the age of 6, from having contacted the ghost of a relative, Macabre said he’s an expert in the intricacies of the extraordinary. His expertise in spiritual contact is maintained in the use of Konxari cards, similar to tarot cards, but much more specific. An ancient practice, Konxari contain 88 cards used for anything from seances to ghost hunting to making brief spiritual communication. Konaxari cards allow the user to depict
details of a spiritual conversation using words such as “death,” “drowning” or “suffering” to deduce spirits’ ambitions or intents. “Spirits are a faint reminiscence of those who have passed,” Macabre said, “like a battery whose energy can be tapped into.” The month of October is ideal for channeling the spirits, Macabre said, and most spirits can be considered friendly. Since joining mystical forces with his partner Miss Malanga, the pair have performed 12 shows together. The duo recently tried conjuring the spirits of the Hidden Room in Hotel Congress on Thursday night. The Hidden Room was left curiously unscathed after a fire destroyed the staircase and third floor of the hotel. The fire led to the capture of notorious criminal John Dillinger, a bank robber captured during the ensuing panic, whose vengeful spirit is perhaps still
trapped between the hotel’s floorboards. Violent spirits, which occur less frequently, attempt to latch onto the channeler and must be dispelled quickly before their negative energy threatens the psychic. Miss Malanga is a medium who focuses on summoning through autowriting, a psychic ability that allows those who possess its power to transcribe the thoughts of ghosts and spirits. Auto-writing is said to be a subconscious intuition of auras. The user may feel a sensation or inclination guiding them toward the meaning of a spirit’s existence. Macabre said each channeling is unique, and capturing the attention of different presences makes for a novel experience each time one delves into the mystical realm.

Remembering local serial killer
I
VICTORIA PEREIRA
t’s a frightening Tucson story many today aren’t familiar with — one involving teenagers, murder and the desert. On June 1, 1964, the Arizona Daily Star’s headlining news was about the jailbreak that had occurred the day prior. “Seven Prisoners Stage Jailbreak In Tucson; All But One Captured” read the front page headline. Among other things in the paper that day were articles about the news in Tucson, Arizona and the world. However, not a single word was mentioned about Alleen Rowe, the 15-year-old Palo Verde High School student who had gone missing the night before. Police believed Rowe had run away after receiving a call from Rowe’s distraught mother, and they stuck with their story for over a year, finding no evidence to suggest otherwise. “There are thousands of reasons why teenagers run away or leave home,” said Detective Sgt. Robert Wilhelm, in an article published in the Arizona Daily Star on Nov. 5, 1965. Wilhelm was head of the Missing Persons Detail of the Tucson Police Department. According to “The Tucson Murders” by John Gilmore, Rowe was an intelligent student who worked hard and seemed to have a promising future ahead of her. She was well-behaved, got along with her divorced parents and her two brothers and seemed to be a happy teenager. Her disappearance simply didn’t add up. The Arizona Daily Star article , titled “Four Tucson Teenage Girls Have Disappeared Into Thin Air,” discussed the disappearances of Gretchen and Wendy Fritz, Rowe and a fourth girl, Sandra Hughes, whose disappearance was later discovered to be unrelated. The four had gone missing at different times since Rowe vanished the year before, and while police believed otherwise, the parents of the Fritz sisters and Rowe were convinced their daughters had been murdered. They were correct. Charles Schmid was a man who, throughout high school, had always been a bit different. He dyed his hair often, wore makeup and had a habit of giving himself a birthmark on his face with axle grease. He wasn’t the best student and preferred to hang around Speedway Boulevard drinking with friends and driving around in the car his parents bought for him. Schmid was known to be a compulsive liar, especially to women. He had lied to get girls to sleep with him, earning their sympathy by telling them he had
leukemia as a child, was almost sold into slavery across the border, had a string of awful foster parents and cared for sick siblings. He was able to put on a convincing façade in front of parents; he was said to be courteous toward mothers and was considered a gentleman. There were a handful of small run-ins with the law, but nothing too severe. Other than a few eccentricities, Schmid seemed to be a relatively normal guy. That changed after the bodies of the Fritz sisters were discovered. Five days after the Arizona Daily Star article about them was published, the bodies of 17-year-old Gretchen Fritz and 13-year-old Wendy Fritz were discovered in the desert off Pontatoc Road after Richard Bruns, a former friend of Schmid, informed the police of their whereabouts. Schmid had told Bruns about the murder about a month after it occurred, also confessing to the murder of Rowe. On May 30, 1964, Schmid told his friends he wanted to kill a girl to “see if he could get away with it,” according to various sources. He made a list of possible victims and decided on Rowe, then elicited help from his girlfriend and best friend, Mary French and John Saunders, respectively, to get Rowe to join the three on a double date. The four drove out to the desert where Schmid murdered her through blunt force from a large rock to the head, and Saunders helped him bury the body. The three seemed to have covered up the murder, despite rumors circulating around the teenage crowds suggesting their guilt and Schmid’s lack of caring about being caught. A year later, while dating Gretchen Fritz, Schmid murdered her and her sister Wendy Fritz by strangulation. After the Fritz sisters were discovered, Schmid was accused of three counts of murder and taken to trial. The Fritz sisters and Rowe cases garnered national attention. Life magazine had special coverage on the trial, and people across the nation kept up with the case. Schmid was dubbed the “Pied Piper of Tucson” by the media. Halfway through the Rowe trial, Schmid pleaded guilty to murdering Rowe and was sentenced 50 years to life in prison. At the time of the verdict, however, Rowe’s body had still not been found, despite efforts by police, the incarcerated French and Saunders, and forensic investigators. On June 23, 1966, Schmid told the police he would show them where the victim’s remains were. He led the police out to the middle of the desert near Harrison Road, and, while handcuffed, dug up Rowe’s skull.
COURTESY OF WESLEY TREAT
NICKNAMED AS the “Pied Piper of Tucson,” Charles Schmid was found guilty for the murders of three teenage girls during the 1960s. This year marks the 50th anniversary of when he murdered his first victim, 15-year-old Alleen Rowe.
Schmid claimed he led the police to his first victim’s body to prove he had strangled her to death rather than killed her with blunt force, but an examination of the remains showed a fractured skull. Schmid’s sentence remained as it was, and he was originally on death row before the practice was temporarily abolished in Arizona in 1971. He made various escape attempts, one of which was temporarily successful, and continued to carry himself with an air of confidence and superiority. But his pride led to his death when he got in a fight with two fellow inmates and was found with 20 stab wounds, which proved
to be fatal 10 days later. It’s been 50 years since Rowe was murdered in the Tucson desert and 49 since the Fritz sisters suffered their fate. In that time, countless articles, fiction pieces and films have been created based on the horrific tale of the Tucson murders when three young girls had their lives cut short by a man who didn’t seem to understand his own motives.

The investigators of the Southern Arizona Ghost & Paranormal Society are more interested in studying ghosts than turning them into a good story

SAGAPS TEAM members place their equipment on a table at Brink Media on Wednesday. The team uses its equipment to measure electromagnetic activity, negative ions and temperature changes. After some investigations, the group compiles its video footage into a short video that is then posted on SAGAPS’ website.
host stories are a dime a dozen in an old, desert city like Tucson, but a group of local paranormal investigators are on the hunt to separate myth from reality. The Southern Arizona Ghost & Paranormal Society has been investigating things that go bump in the night since 2007 and has completed at least 200 investigations. Unlike the sensationalized antics seen on “Ghost Hunters,” this group approaches each new case with scientific skepticism. Armed with cameras, temperature detectors and seismographs, the team of four is more concerned with collecting data than about corroborating a spooky story. From all the footage, numbers and audio recordings those in the group have gathered, they have yet to document definitive, videotaped proof of something they couldn’t explain. “It’s hard being at the right place at the right time,” said Hector Barragan, founder of SAGAPS. Barragan is a local videographer who founded SAGAPS with Jim Rundel, an old high school buddy. Barragan and Rundel were looking to form a group more focused on the science behind paranormal phenomenon rather than the entertainment. Laura Ziegler, an administrator of an assisted living facility, quickly joined the duo as the team’s case manager. Ziegler does much of the historical research the team conducts whenever starting a new case. When a local homeowner contacts SAGAPS about a potential haunting at their residence, Ziegler typically performs a full background check on previous owners of the residence and the geological composition surrounding the area. “It all comes down to energy,” said Ziegler, a UA alumna. One gadget SAGAPS investigates with is an ion detector, which measures positive and negative ions permeating in the air. Ziegler said an abundance of positive ions typically results in someone experiencing a paranormal encounter. SAGAPS has found electromagnetic fields to be a reccurring cause for many instances presumed to be from beyond the grave, such as hearing voices. Microwaves, cell phones and clock radios are all household appliances the investigators measure for

This is the first time the Rialto has organized this event, and according to Matt Baquet, drummer of the band Prom Body, it all began because the theater asked Prom Body to play a show on Halloween — and they rallied some of their musician friends to come play with them. The other bands joining in on Halloween night include Ghostal, Sun Bones, Numb Bats, Neon Eon and DJ Altrice. The event is showcasing all local Tucson bands, except the Numb Bats, in an effort to make more community ties and make this a uniquely Tucson event. All of the bands look forward to the event, because it gives a snapshot of the city and the “creepy community” we live in. Baquet said all of the bands will be dressing up and covering a different Halloween song during their sets. The party at the Rialto is open to all ages. The reason behind this is mainly because Baquet and Bob Hanshaw, bassist for the Sun Bones, said they believe “there should be more local, cheap, allages shows in Tucson, because life doesn’t just start at age 21.” Hanshaw also said the younger crowd appreciates music more than anyone else, and at that age, you make your strongest musical bonds. The Sun Bones’ music, described as a combination of tightly-focused songwriting with adventurous harmonies, will definitely get people of all ages up and moving,

because it’s accessible, fun and sophisticated. The show begins at 7 p.m. when doors open, and does not end until 1 a.m. when DJ Altrice wraps up the night. Admission to this night of rock ‘n’ roll fun is only $5, and there will be a full
bar for guests 21 and older. Local artists Yu Yu Shiratori, Pat Foley of Carne and Queso and Parker Arriaga of Think Tank/Night of the Living Fest will make Halloween-themed installations for the occasion. All attendees are encouraged to
dress up in a costume, because at 11 p.m., there will be a costume contest with cash prizes given to the first-, second- and thirdplace winners. Throughout the night, Andrew Brown of Arizona Public Media will take pictures of guests in the
“WALL OF GUTS” photo booth. Be sure not to miss out on what will perhaps be the freakiest concert of the year. — Follow Chelsea Cook @DailyWildcat

At Gentle Ben’s Brewing Company, the resident skeleton’s eyeballs are falling out of his head after enjoying a candy corn Jell-O shot and a pumpkin spice shot on Thursday.
The Castalian Spring at Espresso Art Cafe — The bar, tucked away inside the quaint cafe on University Boulevard will be serving up the ominous Dark and Stormy, a mixture of ginger beer and Gosling’s dark rum. It will also be holding its third annual Halloween party starting at 8 p.m., so come dressed as your favorite television show character and enjoy some cocktails and caramel apples. Elliott’s on Congress — The downtown vodka bar has distilled a quintessential fall dessert into vodka. Pumpkin-pie-infused vodka means your white russian can be a pumpkin russian, or your standard martini can have a pumpkin pie twist. Finally, there’s the mouthful of the Pumpkinpinderaser, a
Hotel Congress — Resident mixologist David Clark and his bartenders sat down with a Sailor Jerry rep to create not one, not two, but five distinct rum-based drinks for Halloween. The Blood Orange Daiquiri is a classic rum daiquiri with blood orange simple syrup. Black Seas is a take on the Dark and Stormy, and the Phantom Chai is an enticing combination of rum, chai, halfand-half, simple syrup and cherry bitters. There will be a Hurricane shot styled after the New Orleans staple. The final cocktail of the five is the Sailor’s Punch, a typical rum punch made with velvet falernum. The party kicks off at 8 p.m. with two stages of music and costume contests.

Gentle Ben’s Brewing Company — This hotspot on University Boulevard will be adding some buzz to two Halloween classics: candy corn and pumpkin spice. Even if you feel you’ve outgrown actual candy corn, give the candy corn shot, a layered Jell-O shot made with Smirnoff Iced Cake vodka, a try. Dump your Starbucks for a pumpkin spice shot, which is your typical blow job shot (Kahlúa and Bailey’s) topped with pumpkin spice whipped cream.
Hi Fi Kitchen & Cocktails — Hi Fi’s Vegas club atmosphere will transform into a sinister dollhouse for the “Night of the Living Dolls” party at 10 p.m. Staff members will shed their standard uniforms and become creepy dolls. On the menu are Jell-O shots with gummy eyeballs staring up at you, along with a Witches Brew Cocktail — a rum cocktail crafted from coconut rum, a variety of juices and a dark rum float.

Nutritionist shares facts to know before indulging in Halloween candy CRISTIEN KEEME-SAYRE
H
alloween is that time of year where everyone gets their party on. It also seems to be the one day when we tend to overindulge in more sugar than we normally do. On average, according to the American Heart Association, an American intakes roughly 20 teaspoons of sugar daily. That can lead to around 150 pounds of sugar per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Added sugars in food contribute a great deal to how much total sugar we intake and can add excess calories without any nutrition, which can lead to weight gain. Added sugar is placed in things normally not considered to contain sugar, such as certain cereals, yogurt, ketchup and sport drinks. A consistent overindulgence in sugar can have dramatic effects on the body. Jennifer Bea, an assistant professor of medicine and assistant research scientist in the nutritional sciences department, shares her insight on the topic with the Daily Wildcat. Daily Wildcat: How does sugar affect the body? Bea: Depending on the kind of food you intake, it varies. There are foods that are high in glycemic index, which is essentially more sugar. While being different from the sugars one typically thinks of, like candy, these high-GI foods can still impact your blood sugar. Sugar, and the insulin release it triggers, can also help signal [to] your brain that you are full. If one exercises regularly and eats healthy, if on a few occasions out of the year one overindulges in sugars, the body has the amazing ability to rebalance itself. The body is always working to keep this balance. But if one consistently overindulgences in sugary treats, this can damage the body. Overindulgence in sugar and the increased body weight and body fat that typically results can result in resistance to insulin. Insulin resistance means that glucose is not being absorbed as well as it should and builds up in the blood. This can lead to pre-

There are sugars even in alcoholic What are the difference between drinks, and we don’t really notice good and bad sugars? or count the calories in beverages Things like sugars in fruits, as well. You also don’t feel the same vegetables and certain grains and distention or full feeling in your cereals, like whole grain varieties, belly. That distention is a key signal have natural sugars. But if eaten to the brain that you are full, and it in excess, even these is relatively absent with can be bad for you.

Labeling the body will work to of beverages is getting balance itself out if you much better, so we occasionally indulge. can all be a bit more conscious of our choice JENNIFER BEA What are some of the of coffee, smoothie or highest forms of sugar soft drink. intake that we consume? Some of the major contributors Is it worse to consume sugar in to high sugar intake is in things that the amounts we do as we grow we don’t really think about, like older?
As we grow older, typically starting around the ages of 30 to 40, our metabolism tends to slow down. So, this makes it harder to for us to burn off the calories that we consume and may require us to be more active than we are when we are younger. The metabolism of a young person is working at a higher rate, allowing them to eat more calories. To consistently eat the amount of calories and sugar that we do when we are younger will be detrimental to us as we get older, especially if we do not maintain a healthy level of exercise. For adults, the minimum level of exercise to prevent chronic disease is 150 minutes of moderate [exercise] or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic [exercise] per week or an equivalent mix of the two.
Regular exercise and eating healthy is important, but it can be hard to stay away from sugar, especially with its easy access in our society. Take sugar in small portions once in a while if you have eaten healthy and gotten adequate exercise for the day. If you’re at a party, you can find a creative way to drink a healthy beverage while still having fun and fitting in, like mixing sparkling water with a shot of cranberry juice and a squirt of lime. Get rid of leftover Halloween candy and treats in your house. You may not want to because it cost you money, but think of the cost to your health if you graze on it for a week or a month.
Any advice to avoid overindulging in sugar?

go to Celestial Rites as opposed to a different metaphysical shop. The candles offer specific aromas for anything from love attraction to business success. Michael Kraych said the business success candle is his favorite, because he has always had a positive experience with the aroma. The store also offers classes from equinox rituals to herbalism, depending on what is popular. Classes are offered every other week. A reason people should come to the store, Michael Kraych said, is its energy. “Everyone that comes in likes the energy that is in the store,” he said. “It has a really good feeling.” — Follow Lindsey Stegemoller @lstegs

Return of the Jack
Myles Jack tore up Arizona last year on both sides of the ball, a feat that rarely happens in his day and age of college football. Jack rushed for 120 yards on offense and recorded eight tackles on defense. After his versatile freshman season, Jack has primarily played defense this season, recording 62 total tackles with five tackles for loss. What’s worrying is his relative quietness on offense. It seems like bad things always happen to Arizona when UCLA is on the schedule. Don’t be surprised if Jack comes in for a few short yardage situations and punches in a score.

Last week, Solomon threw for 294 and five touchdowns to out-duel Washington State senior quarterback Connor Halliday, the nation’s leading passer. Halliday had 489 yards, but threw 41 more passes and two interceptions, while Solomon had none. In Arizona’s last road game against a ranked team, then-No. 2 Oregon, he passed for 287 yards on 31 attempts, while Oregon’s quarterback Marcus Mariota had 276 yards on 32 attempts. Solomon is fifth in the country in passing per game (347.1) and total offense per (374.4).
Scooby dooby does
Arizona native chose to stay at UCLA and play his redshirt junior season. While his team has struggled, Hundley is playing at a more productive rate this year. The 6-foot-3 quarterback has thrown for 2056 yards with 14 touchdowns and is second on the Bruins in rushing with 415 yards, good enough for a 51.9 average per game. After torching Arizona to the tune of 66 yards in 2012, Hundley was ho-hum against the Wildcats in 2013. If Hundley can get back to his 2012 form, Arizona will be in big trouble at the Rose Bowl.
A new hope for UCLA
UCLA was the preseason No. 7 team in the nation and has dropped to No. 25 in the latest AP Poll, leading to a disappointing season so far. The Bruins lost back-to-back home games to Utah and Oregon, effectively dropping them out of the college football playoff battle. Since then, the Bruins have defeated both California and Colorado by two and three points, respectively. With four games left, UCLA has a great chance to start something against Arizona. A win over Arizona would likely propel the Bruins into the top 15 of rankings and would give them a chance to make a marquee bowl game, such as the Fiesta Bowl.

Arizona’s leader on the defense, sophomore linebacker Scooby Wright III, was key in the Wildcats’ win at Oregon and last week against Wazzu. Arizona is 3-0 on the road this year thanks in no small part to Wright III’s exploits. Last week, he had eight tackles, three forced fumbles and three sacks en route to winning two national defensive player of the week awards. He leads the nation in forced fumbles with five, including the game-winning strip of Mariota in Eugene, Ore. Wright III is third in the nation in sacks (nine), third in tackles for loss (14) and 20th in total tackles (78).

WAYS TO LOSE
After freshman running back Nick Wilson missed the USC loss and senior running back Terris Jones-Grigsby missed the second half against the Trojans, it looks like Arizona’s two-headed running back monster is back. Wilson wasn’t his usual potent self at WSU. He had 10 yards but did rush 18 times after missing time due to an ankle injury. Jones-Grigsby, however, ran for 107 yards on 13 carries after recovering from his concussion. Arizona is No. 1 in the Pac-12 in total offense with 541.9 yards per game but has slipped to fourth in rushing offense (193.4). Once again, the Wildcats can run the ball down the Bruins’ throats.

WILDCAT WEEKEND • 19
Soccer to play Utah and Colorado BRIAN PEEL With its regular season winding down, Arizona soccer (9-5-2, 3-41) begins a two-game road trip this weekend when it takes on Utah and Colorado. Going into this weekend’s matchups, the Wildcats are currently No. 23 in the NCAA Women’s Soccer RPI rankings. Last weekend, the Wildcats closed out this season’s scheduled home games at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium with a loss and a tie to Stanford and California, respectively. Both of last week’s games went into overtime, but, unfortunately for Arizona, it was only able to muster a single point in the process. Overall, Arizona was a solid 6-2-1 in the friendly confines of Murphey Field this season. Senior midfielder Julia Glanz said she thinks the Wildcats will have success this weekend if they can reconstruct their previous secondhalf efforts. “I think if we play the way we did in the second half of the Cal and Stanford games, we should be good,” Glanz said. “Against Colorado and Utah, we have to come out strong
and get these two road wins.” On Friday at noon, Arizona battles the Utah Utes, who have had limited success this season, especially in conference play. Going into Friday’s game, Utah has just a single win in conference play, but, despite being second to last in the conference standings, has played some close games, including losing only 1-0 to No. 1 UCLA and managing a draw against No. 4 Stanford. Late last season, Utah came into Tucson and scored a goal in the second overtime to defeat the Wildcats 1-0. So far in 2014, Utah has been a middle of the road team in terms of goals scored and goals allowed in the Pac-12 Conference, but it does have two players in the top-10 of assists in the conference, with Katie Taylor and Avery Jenkins combining for 12 on the season. Redshirt junior goalkeeper Lindsey Luke is second in the Pac-12 in saves with 83 and has shutout Ute opponents seven times. The game will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks. Sunday’s game also kicks off at noon and sees Arizona face off with Colorado, a team currently tied with the Wildcats in the Pac-12 standings
for seventh place. The Buffaloes are coming off a similar weekend to the Wildcats when they were defeated by Washington State before managing a tie with Washington. Despite Colorado making the Sweet Sixteen last season, the Wildcats defeated the Buffaloes 3-0 at home. Sophomore forward Brie Hooks leads the team in goals with six and is tied for second in assists with four. Arizona head coach Tony Amato knows the difficulty of this weekend’s competition, especially considering how close the postseason is. “It’s going to be a challenge,” Amato said. “All the teams competing this weekend, including us, are trying to make the NCAA Tournament, obviously. It’s going to be a challenge against good opponents, and we’ve got to do what we’ve been doing all year in order for us to put ourselves in a position to win.”

Football ready for UCLA matchup The one that got away
JAMES KELLEY
TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT
UCLA THEN-redshirt sophomore quarterback Brett Hundley (17) scrambles during Arizona’s 31-26 loss against UCLA at Arizona Stadium on Nov. 9. Hundley and the Bruins are 6-2 on the season and will look to gain momentum against Arizona this weekend.
Under the bright Hollywood lights, Arizona football faces UCLA in a battle of ranked teams. No. 12/14 Arizona (6-1, 3-1 Pac12 Conference) faces No. 22/25 UCLA (6-2, 3-2) at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. “It’s a Saturday night on a big stage, they are breaking out new uniforms and it’s on national television,” Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “I think they can sense it, and I really sensed a good energy in practice today. I think any player wants to play on that big stage, especially at this level.” The last time Arizona played at the Rose Bowl, in 2012, it was ranked No. 24 but lost 66-10. “Now I really want to win this game, especially after the debacle a few years ago,” UA senior free safety Jourdon Grandon said. “That particular game at the Rose Bowl brought on a lot of disappointment and embarrassment.”
Volleyball looks for revenge against Buffs JAMES KELLEY After a tough stretch of games that included four games in seven days, Arizona volleyball returns to the friendly confines of McKale Center to host the Rocky Mountain schools over Halloween weekend. The No. 15 Wildcats (17-5, 6-4 Pac-12 Conference) host Colorado today at 6 p.m. in a match that will be broadcast on the Pac12 Networks. The UA will then host Utah on Saturday at 6 p.m., and that match will be shown on pac-12.com. Arizona is coming off a 1-1 road trip at the Oregon schools, where it lost 3-0 to then-No. 11 Oregon before beating Oregon State 3-1. The game against the Beavers saw the UA record a Pac-12 season-high 109 digs, good
enough for sixth-best in school history. The Wildcats are 9-2 at home, having only lost to then-No. 1 Stanford and then-No. 3 Washington. Colorado (13-9, 5-5) averages 13.64 kills per set and has a .259 hitting percentage. While Arizona is first in the Pac-12 in digs, with 16.58, the Buffaloes are last with 12.68. However, Colorado has 1.37 aces per set, while the UA has 0.93. Leading the way for the Buffaloes is senior outside hitter Taylor Simpson, who averages 4.64 kills per set and has a .316 hitting percentage. Simpson is third in the Pac-12 in kills. Arizona leads the all-time series 6-2, but the Buffaloes beat the Wildcats 3-0 in Boulder, Colo., on Oct. 5, as the UA hit a season-worst
Leading the Bruins is a Heisman candidate and an Arizonan with UA ties. UCLA junior quarterback Brett Hundley is from Chandler, and his father Brett Hundley Sr. played football at the UA in 1986. Hundley is one touchdown pass away from tying the school record, is No. 2 in the nation in completion percentage, is No. 13 in the country in pass efficiency and is the first UCLA quarterback with over 700 completions. The dual threat quarterback owns five of UCLA’s 10 400-yard total offense games. “He is a big guy that breaks a lot of tackles,” Rodriguez said. “He and Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota are probably the two best I’ve seen in terms of big athletic guys that break tackles and won’t go down by just putting an arm on them.”
A rose by any other name
While UCLA plays in the Rose Bowl stadium, it has also had a knack for keeping Arizona out of the Rose Bowl game.
The Wildcats are the only original Pac-10 team that has never reached a Rose Bowl game. During two of Arizona’s two best seasons, the Bruins knocked the Wildcats out of the Rose Bowl. In 1993-94, Arizona went 10-2 and lost to the Bruins and California, and in 1998-99, the UA went 12-1 and only lost to UCLA. Both of those seasons, the Bruins smelled roses. UCLA leads the all-time series 2115-2 and in Pasadena, Calif., 9-4-1.
Cubs to Bruins
UCLA was originally known as the Southern Branch University of California and the “Cubs.” UCLA students considered Buccaneers and Gorillas but decided on Bruins after California, which had been using both Bears and Bruins, gave up Bruins. UCLA’s famous alumni include Mariska Hargitay, John Williams, Bill Walton, Troy Aikman, Ben Stiller and Jackie Robinson.

.150. This season, Colorado presents the first time when the Wildcats have the chance to get revenge on one of the five teams that defeated them. The Buffaloes split with the Washington schools last week on the road, losing 3-0 to Washington but sweeping WSU. Utah (12-9, 2-8) comes to town nursing a three-match losing streak, but one of those losses was courtesy of Washington, and another was at the hands of the Stanford Cardinal. The Huskies and Cougars both swept Utah last weekend — 22-25, 13-25, 25-27 and 20-25, 21-25, 16-25 — respectively. Arizona leads the all-time series with the Utes 20-5 and has won six of the seven matches since Utah joined the conference in 2011. The Wildcats have also won eight of the last nine. On Oct. 3 in Salt Lake City, the Wildcats swept the Utes (25-21, 25-23, 25-23). Arizona held Utah to a .181 hitting percentage. REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT
