A recent study by WalletHub named Arizona the strictest state in the country for the enforcement of driving under the influence rules.

Arizona was ranked No. 1 in criminal penalties and No. 2 in prevention, with an overall rank of No. 1 as the strictest state for DUI enforcement.

To determine the rankings, WalletHub looked at over 15 different measurements such as the minimum jail time and minimum sentence for the first offense, additional penalties for a higher blood alcohol content and if vehicles are impounded after arrest.

States earned points depending on these kinds of criteria, and the point totals determined the rankings.

Arizona scored 84.09 percent with Georgia coming in second place with 70.45 percent, according to the WalletHub study.

Arizona’s high ranking in strict DUI enforcement doesn’t surprise University of Arizona Police Department Officer, George Eppley.

Eppley worked for the Tucson Police Department’s DUI unit for 13 years before he worked for the UAPD. According to Eppley, one of the largest contributing factors to Arizona’s strict ranking is the statewide DUI task force, and that Arizona also has a zero tolerance policy with DUI enforcement.

Tech Launch AZ sets performance records

BY NICK JOHNSON @DailyWildcat

Tech Launch Arizona looks forward to another great year of aiding the truly innovative after a fiscal year of hitting their licensing, patents and invention goals.

Serving as the UA’s department for technological commercialization, TLA reported a 40 percent increase in filed patents, as well as significant increases in invention disclosures and licensing at the end of this past fiscal year.

“Fundamentally, we changed the whole approach of commercialization from a passive one to one that is much more active, using the faculty as the lead in the process and serving the faculty inventors as customers,” said David Allen, TLA vice president.

In hopes of advancing the technologies coming out of the UA, TLA has started reaching out to UA alumni to help the development of new technologies.

“We’ve opened ourselves up to resources beyond the university,” Allen said. “We have a 1,400 person domain network, so when we receive an invention, we can find a few people, mostly UA alumni and Tucson technology communities, that can help us understand the market context for an invention. That leads us in a much clearer direction as

to who or what company might adopt the technology.”

In the three years of its existence, TLA has had almost 800 inventions disclosed.

This year there were 250 invention disclosures, 37 more than the previous year and 62 more than the year prior to that.

Last fiscal year, TLA also saw 278 patents filed, 97 total executed options and licenses, 14 startups licensing UA technologies and 27 funded asset development project.

The 14 startups from the last fiscal year were all companies based around intellectual property generated from UA research.

Promutech Pharmaceuticals Inc., a company who provides new types of treatment for acute myeloid leukemia, is just one of the companies that has emerged from TLA. TLA will continue to see growth in activity due to their now proven ability to work with people and produce finished products, according to Allen.

“What we keep looking for are higher quality approaches and people with more seasoned experience to help our inventors—those who can help our inventors understand the market and bring in their expertise,” Allen said.

One of the two spots housing TLA is the UA Tech Park that houses 40 tenant companies and had an $1.74 billion impact in 2015, according to TLA.

THE SUN LINK TUCSON Modern Streetcar turns onto Fourth Avenue on July 15. The Sunk Link recently extended their hours to meet increased activity and demand.

Sun Link extends hours With the increased demand and activity created by the start of the fall semester, the streetcar is temporarily extending its hours to offer late-night service

BY CHASTITY LASKEY @ChastityLaskey

The Sun Link Tucson Modern Streetcar is extending its hours to meet the increased activity and demand of the fall semester.

While campus may seem like a ghost town during the summer, the start of a new semester has brought hordes of students back onto campus, making the roads busier and the traffic slower.

With the Sun Link route running through UA, many students use the streetcar as their primary mode of transportation to and from campus.

The street car sees 4,000 riders per day, 61 percent of which are UA students, according to a previous Daily Wildcat column.

“From day one when we started streetcar service, we had always stated that we would be reviewing street car service hours,” said Michael Graham, City of Tucson Department of Transportation public information officer. “That was always the plan and we’re continuing to do that—it’s ongoing.”

Starting Thursday, the Sun Link will offer late-night service that goes until 2 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. This new extension is set to last through Oct. 2.

Graham said they decided to make the adjustment after the TDOT and Sun Link staff analyzed the street car ridership from the start of UA’s fall semester.

“We looked at last year and we saw that late-night ridership was at its highest from

at the start of the semester for approximately 30 days after,” Graham said. “One of the determinations of what we saw is an increase in the UA SunGO pass sales; they exceeded what they were last year and what we projected.”

The SunGO U-Pass is a discounted streetcar pass available for purchase by UA full-time students and staff through Parking and Transportation Services.

The UA continuously offers the pass at 50-percent subsidy. A semester pass, which offers unlimited rides, is $87 for UA students, compared to the normal Sun Tran price of $173.

As of the first day of classes, PTS has sold more SunGO passes than it had by Aug. 22, 2015, according to Florence Dei Ochoa, Sun Link marketing and public information manager.

Ochoa wrote in an email that while it’s too early to get total sales, PTS is certainly ahead of last year’s. So far, PTS has sold 802 semester passes, which is 336 more than last year, and 594 annual passes, which is 52 more than last year.

Passes can be purchased at the PTS website.

Should recreational weed be legalized?

BY AVI TARQUINI-CASSELL @DailyWildcat

On the voting ballot this November is Arizona Proposition 205, the Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act, which would allow adults in Arizona to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and grow up to six plants on their private property.

If the proposition passes, Arizona would join Colorado, Oregon and Washington in allowing recreational marijuana use within its’ borders.

The proposition made its way to the November ballot with petitioners collecting a quarter-million registered voter signatures earlier this year.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Jo Lynn Gentry dismissed a lawsuit against the proposition in mid August. The lawsuit was brought by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry and a group of Arizona residents that included two Arizona county attorneys. The Daily Wildcat spoke with six students on the campus mall this week about their opinion on Prop 205.

“I think that it should be legalized because there is less of an issue with people recreationally using marijuana than there is with people abusing alcohol.”

—Carley Patten, a family studies and human development junior.

“I definitely believe in medical marijuana but when we make it recreation[al], we already have public health issues with addressing alcohol and various drugs that are illegal so I don’t think we need to add to those complications.”

—Sophia Gonzales, a recent graduate of the UA Urban Development Program.

“I am pro-legalizing marijuana in Arizona because it will be good for our taxes and raising money.”

—Sophie Maynard, a speech language and hearing sciences sophomore.

“I think it will be a safer alternative to trying to get it illegally and provide a much safer way for people who really want to get their fix. Otherwise, you’re just providing, you’re just having this untapped economic potential that you’re not using. I do believe that this will benefit Arizona.”

—Son Tran, a physiology freshman.

“I think it’s fantastic, it’s gonna create a lot of revenue for the city, for education, for everything; I see no downside.”

—Jason Bentley, a literacy learning and leadership senior.

“Personally, I don’t think marijuana is the best recreation. There are a lot better things I can do with my time. If somebody else wants to do it, that’s alright. That’s on them but I wouldn’t be gung-ho for it.”

—Stephen Duran, a computer science freshman.

Quick Hits Fact: In 2012, according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, people who began using marijuana in their early teens demonstrated permanent neuropsychological deficits. However, the study also found that those who began smoking marijuana as adults did not show any significant cognitive decline.

Fact: In 2015, Colorado sold $996 million dollars of marijuana and brought in $135 million dollars in taxes that were earmarked for everything from fighting homelessness, rebuilding public infrastructure to bettering equipping police departments.

Find community at UA

BY CHASTITY LASKEY @Chastity_Laskey

Finding Community Welcome, an event hosted by UA Residence Life, the Dean of Students Office and the UA cultural centers, is meant to introduce students to the different communities available on campus.

The event will be held next Monday, Aug. 29 from 6-8 p.m. in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom.

“Our purpose is to help students find communities that resonate and support them,” said Teresa Graham Brett, one of the event’s committee members and associate dean of students for inclusion and multicultural engagement. “This is an opportunity to welcome new students to the UA and help them connect to the different communities that we have on campus and resources that are identitybased and also that cross different groups on campus as well.”

Brett said the annual event has expanded over the years and is now a much bigger partnership and collaboration across campus.

This year, the group now includes six centers and the Common Ground Alliance program.

Anyone and everyone in the UA community is welcome to the event, but the first 200 people will get a t-shirt.

In the past, 450-500 students have gone to the event, which will have games, giveaways, food, a DJ and over 50 organizations tabling, according to Brett.

Brett said the event will be fun and laidback and will start with welcomes from the Dean of Students Kendal Washington White and the newly appointed Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence and Senior Diversity Officer, Jesús Treviño.

Sherard Robbins, assistant director of social justice for Residence Life, said the event is for incoming students to meet their cultural centers and student organizations and hopefully find groups that they identify with.

“This gives students a chance to find community within the UA right away,” Robbins said. “A lot of times—students, specifically when you’re new to an area or from out of state—it can be difficult to find like-minded people or to build community in general. We’re offering an opportunity to do that before the school year really gets underway.”

or higher, drivers may lose their driving privilege and have to complete screening for alcohol or drugs before they can reinstate their driving privilege.

A first offense means at most, 10 days in jail and hundreds of dollars in fines, as well as required alcohol screening and education.

Drivers must also equip their vehicles with a certified ignition interlock device which tests the driver’s breath for alcohol and is connected to the vehicle’s ignition.

They are also ordered to perform community service, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The state DUI laws and penalties are the same, even when given by a UAPD officer. DUI charges also do not fall under the Dean of Students Office’s diversion program, according to Eppley.

Eppley also said that he hopes the strictness of DUI laws will deter people from driving under the influence and that there has been a lot of education provided to spread the message to drink responsibly.

Lynn Reyes, an alcohol and other drug prevention specialist with Campus Health, said that it can be hard to tell if DUI laws can be a deterrent.

“I know when I’m working with students individually they often have a story to tell about a friend and they see what their friend has gone through

ARIZONA

News • Friday, August 26-Sunday, August 28, 2016 and they don’t want to go through that,” Reyes said. “In that sense, I hope it’s a deterrent.”

UAPD works with the state task force for DUIs, especially during holidays, Eppley said.

He said UAPD participates in the DUI task force and they sometimes concentrate mostly on surface streets around the outside of campus, such as Speedway Boulevard and Euclid Avenue, because that’s where most of the DUIs near the UA occur.

During 2015, UAPD did 88 DUI arrests, according to Eppley. Although, most of the DUI enforcements do not have someone tied to the UA involved, Eppley said. The UA’s central location in the city means that people drive through the UA area. Campus-related traffic stops aren’t usually where officers find DUIs. Some students, like accounting junior Kelsey Kraft, don’t think DUIs are as a big of a problem at the UA compared to colleges in other states, like California.

According to the minor in possession citation data from last school year’s Health and Wellness Survey, which surveyed 3,100 randomly selected undergraduate students, 3.1 percent of students received MIPs. In the past, the survey asked students about DUIs, but since the DUI numbers were low, the questions about DUIs were dropped from this past survey. Because of this, there is no current data for DUIs from the Health and Wellness Survey.

“You can kind of see just from MIPs,” Reyes said. “That number is so low that you might imagine DUIs are even lower because not everybody has a vehicle.”

Reyes said that many students who live in residence halls tend to not have cars and many of the students she works with use Uber.

Eppley said that he has found more designated drivers driving when making traffic stops.

“The numbers [of DUIs] are probably down a little bit than what they used to be because throughout the years, citizens here have learned that there is zero tolerance,” Eppley said.

Reyes said that the students who responded to last year’s survey said that in the past 30 days, they used a designated driver 91.3 percent of the time.

Reyes said, while that number is good, there is still room for improvement.

“I think the improvement would come from students themselves, where friends don’t let friends drive,” she said.

“I hear a lot of students say they take away a friend’s keys and won’t let them drive or they help them to get home. I think that will make a difference.”

To avoid driving under the influence, students should arrange to have someone pick them up, have a JESUS BARRERA/THE DAILY WILDCAT designated driver or use a cab or service CRIMINAL JUSTICE JUNIOR MARCUS Tutoatasi performs a sobriety such as Uber, Eppley said. test for UAPD Officer George Eppley on Friday, Aug. 19.

POLICE BEAT

BY MICHELLE JAQUETTE @MichelleJaquet

It was the marijuana food, man A University of Arizona Police Department officer spotted a male staggering along southbound Park Ave. at 12:42 a.m. on Aug. 21. The officer made a u-turn to go check on the male, and when he did the male started running towards Kaibab-Huachuca Hall.

When the male could not gain access to the residence hall, he began to walk away but the officer asked him to stop and sit on the sidewalk. The male complied and identified himself as a UA student with both his driver’s license and CatCard.

The student had red, glassy eyes and seemed confused as he spoke. He told the officer he thought someone might have put something in his drink at the Residence Hall Association’s Block Party earlier that night.

The officer gave the student a Portable Breath Test, which showed no presence of alcohol. As the officer continued to speak to the student, the student suggested that there may have been marijuana in food he ate and added, “there was smoke involved.”

When the officer asked the student if he had any marijuana in his possession, the student reached into the left-pocket of his sweats and tossed a plastic bag containing three buds of green material onto the ground.

The student told the UAPD officer he understood his rights when they were read to him.

The student did not have a medical marijuana card. The officer told the student about the UA diversion program, who responded that he would like to be considered for it.

Back at the UAPD station, the green buds field-tested presumptive positive for marijuana.

Thirsty and drunk On Aug. 21, at approximately 1:54 a.m., UAPD officers spotted two males having difficulty getting into Likins residence hall.

When officers asked them what dorm they lived in, they responded that they lived at Coronado.

They said that they had originally wanted to go to Highland Market but it was closed so they thought they could quench their thirst at Likins. The officers told them to have a good night, but then saw the students walk across the street to Villa Del Puente where they were given access by another student.

Officers followed them in and asked what them what they were doing. The students restated that they were thirsty.

The officers asked them to come outside to talk and when they did officers noticed a smell of intoxicants on the students.

The students were read their Miranda Rights and afterwards both admitted to consuming alcohol that night. The students were diverted to the Dean of Students.

Out-of-state students conclude long journey This year’s out-of-state transfers and freshmen have traveled a long way to get to, and settle into, their new UA homes

BY CLAUDIA DRACE @ClaudiaDrace

C

ollege is a milestone in any young adult’s life. For most freshmen, college is a time to leave home, replace parents with resident assistants and share close quarters with an individual that you may or may not have met before.

The time leading up to this transition is often filled with tears and goodbyes. Abandoning relationships that have been built over the past four years, seven years or even a lifetime can be traumatic for anybody.

Some freshmen begin their journey only miles or hours from home. For out-of-state students, though, this isn’t necessarily the

case. The miles and hours double while families drive their cars across borders and fly in planes over foreign terrain.

The unfamiliarity of college life is both nerve-racking and exciting.

Moving to a new state and leaving behind friends and family is simultaneously empowering and overwhelming.

You have this newfound independence, but independence runs the risk of loneliness, at times.

You are no longer provided the luxury of your support systems being there for you when you need them. You will no longer come home to the smell of dinner cooking and the sounds of your family laughing. Your friends aren’t at your beck nor call when something exciting or heart-breaking happens.

Not long after your parents say their final goodbyes, you begin to find your place. You find your niche in a group of people quicker than you could have ever imagined.

Suddenly, all of the reservations you had about leaving feel so passé.

The best way to find your place in a new community is to seize every opportunity presented to you. There are so many other kids who are in the same position as you—everyone is just trying to find where they belong in their new home.

The new friendships feel anything but new. Knowing someone for 24 hours feels like 24 months. Despite the part of you that still misses home, you realize that the safety net that you abandoned has already been reformed.

Leaving behind everything and everyone you know is terrifying, but once you take the leap, you can’t imagine this new experience going any other way.

Wildcat Weekenders: Taste wines and de-stress in serene Sonoita

BY SHANE HOLLY @shaneholly94

The drive to Sonoita itself feels like a vacation. About an hour and a half south of Tucson, you’ll meander through rolling hills, feeling wholly convinced that you’re in another world — save the ocotillos and soaptree yucca resounding with a prickly sense of home. The green desert, shape-shifting around every corner, eloquently forms an argument for Arizona’s rich and varied beauty.

The ground will level out and you’ll pass by a sign that reads “Welcome to Wine Country.”

Scattered across the yellow-green valley are vineyards marked by patches of twisting vines. Leave early in the morning so that you can get a breakfast burrito from the Route 82 Diner. It’s located in a refurbished gas station convenience store with a huge red and whitelettered sign that reads “DINER.” If it feels like you’re in the wrong place, you’ve found it.

The burritos are massive with eggs, cheese, beans and other ambrosial toppings packed inside a warm, fresh tortilla. Owner Laura Bryant says she uses the ingredients to “showcase and highlight the area with fresh, local flavors.” To top it off, deliciously developed traditional red and green salsas are on standby in glorious self-serve abundance.

Sit at the white plastic table soaked in crisp morning sun and maybe talk to the chef about her favorite vineyards, or the contractor/brewmaster about the bar he’s building next door.

In about a month, Bryant is hoping to roll out a whole series of regionally inspired beers, including a Patagonia pale ale and an Elgin Belgium.

After chatting, sit slouched down in your chair in utter satisfaction and let the mariachi music from the kitchen wash over you like a cool breeze. You may experience a strong desire to never get up for the rest of your life.

COURTESY FEBIEN CHEAH

A VIEW OF BARRELS inside the Flying Leap Vineyards in Sonoita, Arizona. Flying Leap is one of the several vineyards in Sonoita that offers wine-tasting tours.

This is normal. Have some coffee, wait it out and proceed when you’re ready.

Like any Arizonan small town worth its salt, Sonoita offers local arts and crafts, rodeo shows and antique shops. What makes Sonoita stand out is its deep-rooted and intimate connection with the surrounding land. Farmer’s markets and wineries reveal the fruitful bounty of a land well-tended—the lush beauty of the place somehow distilled into a flavor that’s packed into every bite and sip.

If nothing else, the trip to Sonoita is a delectable one.

Once you’ve digested your burrito enough to stand up, embark on a famous wine-tasting tour. If you’re pressed for time or cash, just go to one vineyard. Bring your own wine glass and the tasting should only put you out about $10 ($5 for the glass, should you forget).

Begin with Dos Cabezas, a Sonoitan staple and leader in Arizonan winemaking. Move on to Arizona Hops and Vines (the chef’s favorite) for a hip, laid-back

vibe. Finish your tour at the sleek, sophisticated Flying Leap, where CEO Mark Beres said they try to create fun, local concoctions like their habañero-chili grenache.

If no one wants to be the designated driver, live lavishly and order a limousine service to take care of all those pesky transportation problems.

Sip different wines that awaken your tongue in a way your typical boxed variety could never dream of doing. Listen to the lengthy spiels on aromas and hinted flavors. Swirl the

wine around in your glass, sniff and sip, feeling calm and sophisticated, far away from that 12-page paper due next week.

Now, when you make your trip to Sonoita, you won’t come fanny packclad and pointing bulky cameras at old buildings while muttering under your breath, “How quaint,” will you?

Of course not! You’ll look around and smile, taste local flavors, smell fresh open air and talk to friendly people who live there.

Make a trip to Sonoita. It is the perfect stress-free staycation.

In “Misfortune,” a crime thriller, a man gets released from prison and decides to track down the son of his former partner, whom he believes could help him find the diamonds that landed him in prison in the first place.

Devenish admits that the film was partially inspired by one of his own real-life experiences, which happened when he attempted to make a different film.

“I had invested a lot of money into my own film, and one of our financiers ended up defrauding

L a E n c a n ta d a · H u m b L E P i E u S a . c o m

the money I had put into the movie, which was devastating,” Devenish said. “It made me realize that money can be a very corrupting thing, which made me want to write a movie about greed, so that’s how it came about.”

The film boasts themes of greed and betrayal, all set against the backdrop of a rugged Tucson landscape. The film will screen all weekend through Sept. 2 at Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18, but try to make it to one of tonight’s screenings—you’ll likely get a chance to meet the man behind the camera himself.

“I would love to chat with students if anyone has questions,

or even provide some contacts if anyone is interested in developing their skills or coming out to Los Angeles,” Devenish said. “To me, if I’m not sharing what I got out of making this film, then it doesn’t really do me any justice because I’ve had so much help and I’ve got to pass the torch somehow.”

Make sure to check out “Misfortune” this weekend or sometime next week. The first showing is today at 10:40 a.m.

With a smile on his face, Devenish said, “Go see the movie because, if nothing else, it’s at least nice to see a couple of the well-known or not-so-well-known landmarks in the Tucson area.”

Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne has one key goal when it comes to Arizona’s football game day experience: Have fun… with everything.

“It’s a time when the entire community comes together,” Byrne said of those days each fall when football takes over the UA campus.

“We are all sharing the Arizona Wildcats and it’s something where they can watch a great ball game in a good environment.”

From Bear Down Fridays, to tailgating the UA Mall, to the Wildcat Walk – and, of course, maybe a big Wildcat win – Byrne is optimistic everyone will be able to find something to do and enjoy. Maybe they’ll even be seen on Arizona Stadium’s massive 5,352 square-foot video board – that’s more than 47 feet wide by 112 feet tall, putting it as one of the 10 largest video display screens in all of college football.

“In reality, there are a lot of different reasons why people come to the games,” said Byrne, who is now in his seventh year at the UA. It all starts the day before the game UA VISITOR GUIDE FALL/WINTER 2016

College football is back – and so are the UA campus community’s annual celebratory rites of passage itself; that’s when the public enjoy Bear Down Fridays, a block party in the heart of Main Gate Square, located on University Boulevard near the westernmost entrance to the UA campus. That’s where cheerleaders, the Pride of Arizona Marching Band, UA Pomline and fans join forces for a good time. The event is hosted in part by Arizona’s loudest and proudest supporters – the ZonaZoo, a 12,000-student strong group that gets the party started.

“The objective of Bear Down Fridays is to get the students as well as the Tucson community excited for the football game,” said ZonaZoo executive director Kortney Shea Aguilar. “At the event, there are tables where local vendors are able to gain exposure in the community.

“...The event has been very successful in getting everyone excited for the game, providing quality, local entertainment to help the community as a whole feel connected to the event and the university.”

Then comes “game day” itself, where one of Byrne’s creations – the Wildcat Walk – has become a hit.

Knowing fans would embrace it, he brought it over from his days as athletic director at Mississippi State University – starting a tradition that sees fans line up to greet and motivate the Wildcat players as they embark on foot through the crowds and toward the stadium.

“This is something we really felt families would really enjoy being a part of,” Byrne said. “It’s their chance to say ‘hi’ before the game and slap a high-five with them. It’s become a nice tradition at Arizona.”

The players appreciate it.

Former UA linebacker Jake Fischer experienced the five-minute walk on Cherry Avenue from University Boulevard.

“It was a great feeling,” said Fischer, a native of nearby Oro Valley, of going through the line where thousands of fans line up to greet

and encourage players. “Everybody is there to support you. The music was awesome. There are kids who you are a role model for asking for gloves and giving high fives. It was like you and the Tucson community were getting ready to go to battle. It’s not just the team, but the entire community.”

The fans, of course, come from the tailgating area where the party has already started. At least 324 tailgating spaces are sold – more for some bigger, high-profile games – where fans mingle, eat, drink and party in preparation for the big game.

“When we tailgated our first game we showed up right at the start of the tailgate and we were the second people to arrive,” said longtime fan Chaz Elsten, whose tailgate is called “The Red Army” and is now in year 15.

“Now for a game, we get there six to eight hours before the actual tailgate starts. We would have maybe eight to 12 people there. But now we have anywhere from 75 to 100 people.”

They are part of the thousands who enjoy all parts of the pregame festivities like the Fan Fiesta, set just west of the tailgating area. It’s a family-friendly environment with food, a bounce house, ball toss and a place where game sponsors have giveaways.

“It’s for the fan who wants to enjoy the outdoor tailgating scene and who doesn’t have a tailgate to go to,”

said Ben Chulick, the UA’s assistant athletic director for marketing. “But it gives them a chance to get in the atmosphere before the game.”

The party doesn’t stop once you get into Arizona Stadium. In fact, the party just gets brighter (and louder) with the video board set on blast.

“It’s obviously a big attention grabber,” Chulick said. “You can’t help but see it. A lot of people like to see themselves on the board. People act crazy and that’s contagious behavior.”

Then, of course, there’s the music, which “drives the energy of the stadium,” he said.

And gone are the days when things used to be scripted on what was played. Now, it’s all about being impromptu and unpredictable … kind of like head football coach Rich Rodriguez’s no-huddle offense.

“We will go with high-energy music and something engaging like the dance cam,” Chulick said. “We’re trying to provide the best atmosphere for the fans and for the players. They feed off the energy and we want to maximize that.”

The Borderlands Brewing Company served as one of the unofficial homes of the Brew-HaHa stand-up comedy event.

The people at Borderlands managed to provide a unique, rustic atmosphere for equally unique performers.

The bar, located in a Tucson Warehouse

Arts District building from the 1990’s, was originally was home to the Tooley and Sons Produce Company.

Borderlands thrives off local ingredients and places a true focus on community, which led to their participation in BrewHaHa. Once a month, a group of local comedians come together to put on an

BREW-HAHA, 13

Arts & Life • Friday, August 26-Sunday, August 28, 2016

BREW-HAHA FROM PAGE 12

evening of unfiltered, uncensored and honest comedy to a band of locals. BrewHaHa rotates its host brewery every month, and Borderlands hosted the event this time around.

The roster of local men performing their jokes all share a unique style of comedic humor—i.e., they are brutally honest and relatable in the strangest ways.

Comedian Justin Tietjen, for example, shared his feelings towards the epidemic known as dating.

“You know how guys talk about how in bed they’re the best, and they’ll rock your world?” Tietjen said. “I talk about how I probably won’t rock your world.”

Tietjen grabbed the audience’s attention by striving to be relatable more than just outright funny. Luckily, the audience found no difficulty in seeing the humor in these everyday situations.

Monte Benjamin, the headlining comedian and a Miami native, made a point to express how much he dislikes Tucson. Of course, this raised some eyebrows in a room full of locals.

Benjamin managed to describe his feelings about Tucson in one simple analogy: “Tucson is the doormat of a home where you wipe your dirty shoes off before stepping into the actual home of Arizona—Phoenix.”

Benjamin managed to rack up a couple laughs from a room of die-hard Tucsonans, hitting them where it hurts most—their Tucson pride. Monte is an advocate of the truth; he finds that there is truly nothing funnier than truth itself.

“Just taking the truth and adding to it, that’s the beginning of a good laugh,” Benjamin said.

Comedian Charles Engle finds it best to really involve the audience in his act.

“I like to talk to them, not at them,” Engle said.

Engle, like most of the other comedians performing at Brew-HaHa, has a somewhat pessimistic outlook that resonates surprisingly well with the crowd. He is, however, the more upbeat of the bunch.

His extravagant facial expressions, perfect timing and relatable jokes add to the essence that is Charles Engle—an average guy with a not-so-average sense of humor.

Sharing local talent with local people is the objective of the Brew-HaHa comedic event. Benjamin finds it important to showcase talent at events like these, as well as be one with the people. He said that the comedians just want people to come out.

They’re grateful for any audience.

These comedians deserve more than just an audience though—some exposure and recognition are bound to follow these jokesters.

Catch up with the local comedians of Brew-HaHa once a month at a local brewery in town and share an unforgettable evening with a good brew and a couple ha’s.

Headlines every football fan should know as 2016 season kicks off

BY NOAH SONNET @TexasLad32

Will Waco recover?

Looking beyond the obvious legal and ethical issues that have plagued Baylor University this summer, many will wonder how the Bears will fare this season. The dark cloud of sexual assault allegations and an alleged environment of unfit behavior hovering over Baylor’s athletics has many wondering what Baylor’s response will be. The offense should not be an issue for the Bears as star QB Seth Russell returns after a neck injury sidelined him for the latter part of the season. Expect Russell and NFL-worthy running back Shock Linwood to carry a large amount of the load offensively as the Bears will once again have one of college football’s top offenses. It’s their defense, however, that could let the team down as only five starters from last year return. Of course, the biggest loss for Baylor will be former head coach Art Briles on the sideline and it’s this factor alone that will cost them some games. Regardless of how many starters return this year, it’s Briles’ play-calling ability and locker room presence that has carried the Bears in past years. All in all, this team should still be fun to watch. But don’t expect to see double-digits in the win column this season.

Can anyone stop the Rollin’ Tide?

For the fourth time in the last seven years, the Crimson Tide will open up the season as the defending national champions, and though top players from last year are gone, the Tide still have a boatload of talent that, in truth, is just as good, if not better than, last year’s squad. With last year’s Heisman trophy winner Derrick Henry gone, one would think Alabama’s backfield would have a huge gap. Well, get used to the name Bo Scarbrough, because the sophomore will pick up right where Henry left off. With the running back sharing the same physical ability as Henry and being faster than Henry was, it’s hard to imagine the Tide’s running game slowing down any time soon. Just as the running back position has been a foundation on national champion teams in the past, the outstanding defense the Tide constantly produce will also be a factor. Despite many stars gone on the defense side of the ball as well, Alabama will still be the best defense in the nation, with players like Tim Williams and Reuben Foster stepping up to become the next stars of an elite defense. Looking at the schedule, it’s hard to see the Tide go the distance with a perfect season.

With all the talent on this roster, however, they will have no issue making it to the playoffs for the third straight year, and they could win yet another title.

OFFENSIVE LINEMAN Alphonse Taylor celebrates for the Crimson Tide.

Run Christian Run! In what was the season of the running back last year, it was the unlikely sophomore from Stanford, Christian McCaffrey, who left us amazed week after week. McCaffrey broke the NCAA all-purpose yards record, finishing the season with 3,864 all-purpose yards. The record was previously held by Barry Sanders, who set it in 1988, and if that doesn’t give you an indication of the type of player McCaffrey could become, then no worries—the Stanford running back will surely light up the stat sheet again this season. Though the Cardinal’s schedule is much tougher then it was last season, I wouldn’t be shocked to see McCaffrey at the Heisman ceremony in December, despite his team’s record including a few losses. While we all hope that the record set last year will once again be tested and possibly broken, it seems unlikely. Nevertheless, Christian McCaffrey was the most exciting player in college football last season and we will have to wait and see if the trend continues this season.

Pac-12 football power rankings NORTH

1

Stanford (8) — Last season’s third-place finish in the polls was the Cardinal’s highest ranking since the program’s 1940 national championship. While it lost QB Kevin Hogan to graduation, Stanford returns 2,664 all-purpose yards in superstar Christian McCaffrey, so they should be fine.

2

Washington (14) — While the Huskies have only gone 15-12 under head coach Chris Petersen, big things are expected from them this year. This team was two games under .500 midway through November last season, so its No. 14 ranking might be a reach. Sophomore quarterback Jake Browning is a reason for optimism and could have a big year in store for the Huskies.

3

Oregon (24) — Last season, the Ducks started out 3-3 before embarking on a tear that included wins over Stanford and USC. If McCaffrey is the favorite for Pac-12 Player of the year, Royce Freeman should be right behind him. The tailback had 1,836 yards last season, so the Ducks will need another big season to perform up-to-par.

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14Bro

4

Washington State — While Jared Goff and Josh Rosen dominated the highlights for QB play out west last season, Wazzu returns star Luke Falk to the team this year. Last season, he threw for 4,561 yards and 38 touchdowns while completing over 69 percent of his passes.

If the Cougars can split games with four ranked opponents, 10 wins could be within reach.

UCLA (16) — Josh Rosen had a spectacular freshman campaign with over 3,600 yards and 23 touchdowns and will keep UCLA relevant this season. A berth in the Pac-12 championship game could come to fruition if Rosen’s right arm continues to improve.

5

USC (20) — Led by stiff arm extraordinaire JuJu Smith-Schuster, USC looks to put together an entire season instead of just flashes of potential. The Trojans start off the season with none other than Alabama, so they better come prepared against the defending champs.

California — The Golden Bears lost Jared Goff to the NFL, but he is still in-state and on a blue and gold team. They open up in Australia against Hawaii, so the Bears better represent the Pac-12 well while traveling abroad.

6

Oregon State — The 2016 Beavers do not look too imposing right now, so they might keep this position all season. OSU might not win a conference game, but it should be favored against Idaho State on September 17.

Utah — The Utes were once third in the nation last year and now might be a distant third in the division. Their floor this season should be seven wins and could easily get to nine with a lucky bounce here or there.

4

Arizona — The Wildcats were bombarded with injuries and inconsistency last year and are hoping to recreate the magic of 2014.

A gauntlet of four ranked teams with Utah sandwiched inbetween will make or break the Wildcats’ season. If they do not start out 3-0, they could be in big trouble.

5

Arizona State — ASU may be depleted as “Magic” Mike Bercovici is gone, along with four starters on the line and three top receivers.

Whoever is the starting QB might not have time to throw, as Bercovici was sacked 37 times last year. That number could increase.

6

Colorado — The Buffaloes have not won a conference home game since 2013, so Boulder fans may be indifferent at this point.

Head coach Mike MacIntyre may be on the hot seat this season as he has only gone 10-27 during his three-year tenure.

Denny to miss season with knee injury

BY FERNANDO GALVAN @FGalvan35

The UA basketball team has suffered its first major injury of the year and it’s not even October yet.

Graduate transfer Talbott Denny tore the ACL and medial meniscus in his left knee and will miss the entire 2016-2017 season.

He is scheduled for surgery in the upcoming weeks.

This is the second season in a row Denny will miss due to injury.

He missed all of last season with a shoulder injury.

The former Lipscomb forward transferred to the UA this summer after receiving his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering.

During three seasons at Lipscomb, Denny played in 90 games and was selected to the 2013-14 and 2014-15 Atlantic Sun All Academic team, and was also a 2015 Atlantic Sun Conference All-Tournament team member.

As a graduate transfer student, he was eligible to play immediately for the UA this season. Denny was not expected to contribute a lot of

minutes during the season, but was looked at as a key practice player and added depth to the forward position.

Denny is a Tucson native and Salpointe Catholic High School graduate.

He had several scholarship offers from smaller programs but decided coming home and playing for the UA was a dream come true that he couldn’t pass up.

If Denny hopes to play for the Wildcats next season, he will have to apply for a waiver seeking a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA. It is common for the NCAA to approve these types of waivers for players who suffer a seasonending injury before the year’s games officially kick off.

Last year, UA football player Reggie Gilbert was granted a fifth year of eligibility because he suffered an injury his freshman year, which only allowed him to play in four games that season.

The Wildcats similarly lost freshman forward Ray Smith last season, followed by an array of injuries throughout the year.

UA faces another stiff test vs. Texas Tech

BY RYAN KELAPIRE @RKelapireUA

After splitting the first two games of the season against Pepperdine and Utah Valley, the Arizona women’s soccer team is heading to Lubbock, Texas, for a Friday night match against No. 16 Texas Tech.

The Red Raiders (2-0) are a familiar opponent for Arizona coach Tony Amato. Friday’s match will mark the third time in four years Amato and the Wildcats (1-1) have faced Texas Tech.

“I used to coach in Texas,” Amato said. “So I’m familiar with what they do.”

So what do the Red Raiders do?

“They do a good job of getting their backs forward, splitting their center backs and playing through two holding [midfielders], two dangerous forwards and a great attacking center [midfielder],” Amato said.

Texas Tech and Arizona squared off in Tucson last season and went the distance in extra time, finishing in a 1-1 tie. Yet, Texas Tech’s attack this season has been led by two players that didn’t play in last year’s matchup: freshmen Jordie Harr and Jade King.

Harr has scored two of the team’s three goals and was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Week.

“They’re just a really great team,” said Arizona senior defender Laura Pimienta. “Their forwards are legit, so in the back, we have to be in contact the whole time. We have to be on the same page.

I think that team is going to be better than any of the teams we’ve faced this year.”

In the season opener against Pepperdine, the Wildcats’

defense wasn’t on the same page, though, as they allowed three goals in a loss to Pepperdine.

Amato felt the struggles were a product of the backline’s inexperience.

Pimienta, the team’s senior defensive leader, didn’t start because she’s still recovering from injury, forcing Amato to insert a freshman in her place.

“The biggest issue is we started four people in the back who had never played in a college game at that level, and they were

not totally trusting,” Amato said. “And usually when I see that out of backlines, it’s that they’re not trusting the process of what it takes to defend teams at that level, so you drop off. And when you drop off, it creates a job of space [for the opponent].”

Some of those issues got resolved against Utah Valley two days later, as Arizona kept the Wolverines off the scoreboard until the 89th minute. But Amato says the defense is still a “work in progress.”

Meanwhile, starting goalkeeper Lainey Burdett has yet to play this year after being diagnosed with mononucleosis—more commonly known as mono.

Burdett is expected to miss Friday’s game, putting freshman Meredith Reinhardt in line to make her third start of the season.

“It’s different,” Pimienta said of having Reinhardt in net instead of Burdett. “Lainey—we’ve played with her. We know we can count on her. Meredith is very good, too, but Lainey talks more and especially since there are freshmen in the back, they need someone to talk to them.”

Through two games, Reinhardt has allowed four goals and made five saves, and Amato says she has been “solid.”

“I know she has more in her, though, because I know how she plays and it’s just a confidence thing,” Amato said. “The more confidence she gets, I think we’ll see some of that come out.”

The Red Raiders will certainly put Reinhardt and the Wildcats’ defense, as they’re averaging 18.5 shots per game, with nearly 40 percent of them being on net.

‘They’re a very good team, so we know we have to go in with a game plan,” Amato said.

Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Athletes prepare for classes heading into season your classes,” Ippolito said. “[Classes] always come first.”

Balancing education with football can be difficult, but to make sure the players are always on the field, they receive help from their advisers.

“You have to just know what you need to do,” Ippolito said. “Just do your work.”

Laying out what needs to be done throughout the day, the senior linebacker says it may be a tough transition for the incoming freshmen.

“It is a lot harder than high school. You are more by yourself. But if you aren’t able to do it, they have tutoring to help out,” Ippolito said.

With a new schedule for the school semester, football players have the choice to attend practices early in the morning or later in the evening. These practices give the players a time block to attend their classes.

Arizona Head Coach Rich Rodriguez and the other coaches are making sure the players get to class, go to bed early and do what they need to in order to succeed.

“Coach overemphasizes to get good grades, be a man and go to classes,” Ippolito said.

Transitioning to the start of the semester for red-shirt senior Michael Barton has

BY SYRENA TRACY @SyreeenaTraaacy

It’s that time of year again as students flood campus, get out of summer mode and back into the academic mindset. For some students, though, there are more than just academics.

The UA football team is gearing up for the start of the semester as well. Academic advisors are helping guide the football players when transitioning from summer to the beginning of school.

“Our transition is always great; we always have help doing it,” said senior linebacker Cody Ippolito.

Summer practices have come to an end with the season right around the corner.

Now that school has begun, the football team has to set aside practice time to put down the football and pick up a pencil.

Although that transition can go smoothly, some players may need a little extra help in classes. Tutoring is available for all the athletes so they do not fall behind and can keep up their grades.

Ippolito said that time management is the best thing for doing well in school and playing football.

ARIZONA GOALKEEPER Meredith Reinhardt (0) blocks a shot by Utah Valley University ay Murphy Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium in Tucson on Sunday, Aug 21.

Goalkeepers have the whole field in front of them and have to be able to direct the defense in front of them. That requires being vocal.

It’s something Burdett excels at, but it’s also something that’s not easy for a newcomer like Reinhardt to do.

“Lainey went through that last year as a freshman where you don’t communicate as much,” Amato said. “You’re not as confident [as a freshman]. One kick goes wrong and it may impact you, so I think Meredith is working through some of that.”

But despite the freshman growing pains and being paired with a young backline, Amato has been content with Reinhardt’s play.

“I think it was solid for the situation,”

Amato said. “She did some good things; I know she has more in her though because I know how she plays and it’s just a confidence thing. The more confidence she gets, I think we’ll see some of that come out.”

The Wildcats return to the field Friday against No. 16 Texas Tech, and Burdett is expected to miss her third straight game.

Reinhardt will fill in for her once again.

It’ll only be the third game of the season, but Reinhardt has already been exactly what Amato brought her in to be: a reliable second option.

“We’re thankful,” Amato said. “[We’re thankful] that we went hard to get her to come here.”
