Hart: ‘Sometimes it’s time to move on’

BY CHASTITY LASKEY @ChastityLaskey

President Ann Weaver Hart, who will not be renewing her contract when her term ends in 2018, is looking forward to being a full-time UA faculty member as she lays the foundation for the new president’s transition.

Hart, who announced her decision to not extend her contract via an employee-wide email

/DAILYWILDCAT

and Arizona Board of Regents press release on June 10, said she’s left her mark on UA and is excited for the future of the university under a new president. The board could pick a new president as early as next year.

“This is my third presidency and my 15th year,” Hart said. “And sometimes it’s time to move on and do something else and do it well and with enthusiasm and I think that’s right for me.”

Hart said her choice to leave was a transitional decision that began last winter and continued

throughout the spring semester.

“I absolutely finalized my decision at commencement when I stood there and watched those young men and women and all their families and friends,” she said. “I knew that this was wonderful and exciting and 15 or 16 years is probably enough for anyone to be in that role.”

Hart said her decision to leave was influenced by the fact that she’s turning 70 in 2018 and is

Campus Rec to create third, more ‘inclusive,’ locker room

BY MEGAN JACOBY @DailyWildcat

The UA Campus Recreation Center is working to renovate their locker rooms and create a specific locker room area for anyone that desires more privacy when they go to work out on campus.

“We wanted to make the locker rooms more inclusive, and more private for all participants,” said Michele Schwitzky, interim director of Campus Recreation.

Schwitzky said they will start renovations at the end of the coming spring semester and propose that the new locker room area be finished by fall of 2017.

“We want to make it accessible for people who have body image issues, moms who have a 3 year old son and do not feel comfortable taking her son into the women’s locker room,” Schwitzky said.

Although the locker rooms will be a gender-neutral area, that is not the sole purpose of the project, according to Melissa Vito, senior vice president for student affairs and enrollment management and senior vice provost for academic initiatives and student success.

Schwitzky said the locker room will have a specific area with private stalls that people can enter so they can maintain their privacy, but they will also still have a normal locker area for people who are not bothered by the current environment.

“I really don’t believe that bathrooms need to be separated based on gender. I think that is kind of ridiculous,” said Taylor Ducklow, an aquatics student coordinator at the Rec Center and a FORCE intern.

“I get that having privacy is important, but you can have a non-gendered bathroom and still have private stalls.”

The Rec Center will update their current gender-specific areas but also redesign it to have private areas for anyone who feels uncomfortable being in such a setting.

The locker rooms haven’t been updated in over 25 years, according to Vito.

The two restrooms in the lobby that recently had showers added to them last spring are acting as temporary gender-neutral space for anyone who uses the Rec Center regularly and feels uncomfortable.

UA Sigma Kappa sorority members received an email Wednesday afternoon asking them to pay attention to who is going in and out of their house or lurking around the property.

The email, sparked by an incident that occurred Monday night, was written by Sigma Kappa President Taylor Brown.

The email said that two college-age men entered the Sigma Kappa chapter facility around 11 p.m., and wandered until sisters living in noticed, removed them from the property and called the University of Arizona Police Department.

The two men were later spotted outside the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity on Tuesday night, where they said “we’ll be watching you” to a Sigma Kappa member, according to the email.

In the email, Brown said their advisory board supervisor, Fraternity and Sorority Programs, risk management and UAPD had all been notified.

“We have taken many precautions in order to keep everyone safe as we are unsure why these men are lurking around our property,” Brown said in the email.

“With all this being said, I ask that you all watch who is coming in and out of the house, watch that all doors close behind you, be aware of your surroundings not only around Sigma Kappa but on campus and please do not be walking around alone.”

Brown stated in the email that they are doing everything they can to figure out the situation, but asked everyone to be cautious and report any suspicious activity to her immediately until they know more.

“We’ve handled everything from notifying FSP, UAPD, our national headquarters our housing court and anything and everything between,” Brown told the Daily Wildcat. “The situation’s been handled, everything’s all good.”

While Meningitis B is not necessarily a new threat to the health of college students, it is still a relevant illness that UA’s Campus Health Service employees think should be addressed.

“When we’re talking about meningitis on college campuses, we’re usually talking about meningococcal meningitis, which is caused by a specific bacteria, and even though it is rare, it can be potentially life-threatening in a minority of cases,” said David Salafsky, director of health promotion and preventative services for UA Campus Health.

On average, one in 10 adolescents and young adults who develop Meningitis B will die from it, according to Trumenba medical brand, which supplies the meningitis B vaccine used

by Campus Health.

“Meningitis B progresses very rapidly,” said Amy Direnfeld, a registered immunization nurse for Campus Health. “It’s an illness with similar symptoms as the flu, except that ... you have a really stiff neck where you can’t even tuck your chin to your chest it hurts so bad.”

According to Direnfeld, the time it takes to eradicate Meningitis B from a patient varies from person to person. The more urgent 9t diagnosis of the infection • concern lies in early hS ona tree z i r rather than how long treatment takes. t • Tucson, A “You can lose a finger. You can lose a limb or

a finger or a toe,” Direnfeld said. “You can lose hearing and it can ultimately lead to death very quickly before it’s even diagnosed and that’s why we’re really worried about protecting college campuses from meningitis B.” Five strains of meningitis exist; A, B, C, W and Y were the first strains recognized as an emergency in the U.S. Most children contract these strains of meningitis between ages 11 and 12.

“A few years ago, strain B of meningitis was showing up on college campuses,” Direnfeld said. “The first campus to publicly let us know that it was out there was Princeton University.”

The U.S. did not have the vaccination for meningitis B at the time, and Princeton had to get special permission from the FDA to get the vaccine from Europe, according to Direnfeld.

Since cases first occured at Princeton University and next at the University of California-Santa Barbara, college campuses have been relatively safe from meningitis B outbreaks, according to Salafsky.

“It’s not like there’s lots and lots of cases of meningitis across the country,” Salafsky said.

“When it does come up, it often makes the news—in particular, with this meningitis B.” According to Direnfeld, college campuses seem to be hotbeds for meningitis B because the infection is mainly contracted by those 16 to 23 years old. Meningitis B is also easily transmitted in places where people live in close

quarters, such as prisons, residence halls or Greek Life houses.

Campus Health can provide two different vaccinations for meningitis. One vaccine protects against the A, C, W and Y strains, and the other vaccine protects against the B strain.

Anyone between the ages of 10 and 25 can receive the vaccine that protects against meningitis B. The vaccine is taken in three different doses spread over a six-month time frame. The cost of the vaccine is also covered completely by most major health insurance plans.

“We’ve seen quite a few students who have not only gotten their first one but completed the series from last year,” Direnfeld said. “This year, we’ve seen a lot of students come in to get their first of the series.”

Approximately 220 UA students have come in to receive the meningitis B vaccination from July of 2015 to date, according to Campus Health’s medical records department.

“Fortunately, we have not had an outbreak here at the UA, and we want to try to keep it that way,” Direnfeld said, who recommends that students be more aware of the cleanliness of their surroundings.

She said that students should avoid sharing drinks or eating off of dirty dishes or with unwashed utensils.

“The UA’s position is to strongly recommend that all students receive the meningitis

vaccine, but it is not mandatory,” Salafsky said. “The No. 1 thing that students can do to protect themselves is to make sure they’ve been vaccinated.”

A GROUP OF PROTESTORS gather outside Tucson Electric Power’s headquarters on Aug. 31. The group was protesting proposed rate increases of TEP’s services.

SFS protests TEP’s proposed rate hikes

A group of protesters gathered outside the headquarters of Tucson Electric Power and marched to Tucson High School’s auditorium on Wednesday, Aug 31. Included in these protesters were a handful of UA students from Students for Sustainability.

Their destination was the Arizona Cooperation Commission’s public hearing on TEP’s requested rate increases. TEP’s rate case proposes a 70 percent increase in monthly fixed charges and a 7 percent increase in rates per hour for their customers.

Russell Lowes, the energy subcommittee chair for the Sierra Club in Tucson and an organizer of the protests, said 44 speakers went before the commission to speak out against TEP’s rate increases.

One speaker was UA environmental studies senior Diego Martinez-Lugo who told the commissioners these proposed rate increases target and affect marginalized communities.

Martinez-Lugo serves as the chair for the UA Students for Sustainability Energy and Climate Committee.

He said low-income families are disproportionately affected by an increase in fixed charges because they reduce the incentive for consumers to conserve power.

As well as harming other residents with a fixed income, Martinez-Lugo said continuing to rely on coal and natural gas threatens our water, air and public resources.

TEP also presented a proposal to reduce net metering or the rate of reimbursement

they provide costumers with solar power.

Currently, if a customer with solar panels produces a 100kW of power and uses 100kW their bill will only include fixed charges. TEP wants to reduce this one to one retail price ratio to a wholesale price ratio when buying customer power.

If a customer produces enough power to supply their own needs, they would still need to buy power from TEP’s grid in this new plan.

TEP argues that they can obtain power from a centralized power plant at a lower cost.

UA geography graduate student Remington Franklin said this proposal makes solar a much less appealing investment. When SRP in Phoenix had a similar proposal approved, they saw a 95 percent reduction in applications for rooftop solar panels.

The Arizona Cooperation Commission will vote on whether to approve, modify or reject TEP’s proposed rate increases in the coming months. Their first vote, on Sept.

8, will focus solely on TEP’s proposed fixed charge increases.

Franklin said the commission must mediate between TEP’s shareholder’s interest and rate payer’s interest.

Five elected officials serve on the Arizona Cooperation Commission. This November, three commission seats are up for election. Two democrats and three republicans will appear on the ballot and the three candidates who receive the most votes will serve a four-year term.

The ACC represents the public interest in these matters.

Franklin said the challenge is to develop greater energy literacy and to encourage individuals in the community to get involved in the political process.

POLICE BEAT

BY AMANDA OIEN @amanda_oien

Coming in clutch A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Pima Residence Hall on Aug. 28 in response to a male UA student found lying unresponsive on his bedroom floor.

A Resident Assistant found the student when she was attempting to evacuate residents from their rooms because of a water leak in the bathroom.

The RA said she tried to wake the student up but was unable to. According to police, the RA said the student was clutching a bottle of alcohol.

When the UAPD officer arrived, the male student was awake and was able to answer the door to his room, walk and answer questions on his own.

The officer noticed a partially empty can of Budweiser beer on the student’s desk and a backpack filled with several cans of beer.

When the officer asked if the student had been drinking, the student said he had “been drinking all day,” according to police.

The student was diverted to the Dean of Student’s office for a Minor in Possession of Alcohol.

Pukes of hazzard A UAPD officer was assisting RA’s with rounds at Arbol de la Vida on Aug. 28 when one of the RA’s received a phone call from a resident reporting a college-age male in the men’s bathroom vomiting.

When the officer made it to the floor of the report, the officer smelled a strong odor of vomit and intoxicants.

The officer walked into the bathroom and noticed the student learning up against a sink counter vomiting and then rinsing his mouth with water, according to police.

During the time the officer asked for Tucson Fire Department to come and assess the student’s condition; the student had vomited three times.

When Student EMS arrived on the scene, the student told them he had drank approximately five shots of vodka in a room in Arbol de la Vida but could not remember the room number or building. According to police, the student had slurred speech and watery, bloodshot eyes.

When Tucson Fire Department arrived, they assessed the student and said he appeared to be recovering. TFD said they would clear the student so long as his roommate agreed to stay with him for the night. The student’s roommate agreed and would call 911 if things got worse.

The UAPD officer told the male UA student he would be diverted to the Dean of Students for underage consumption of alcohol. The student said he understood and then stepped into a bathroom stall to use the toilet, according to police.

Looking back Hart, who was inducted in 2012, has spent the last four and a half years creating an integrated financial and academic plan, trying to increase the UA’s influence nationally and to bring in more research funds and grants.

She said a 21st century land grant university needs to be integrated academically and be very grounded in careful financial planning.

ready to refocus what she wants to do with her remaining productive work years.

While the regents were surprised, Hart said they were very supportive of her decision once they understood why she chose to do this now.

“This is a perfect time for me and a great time for a leader succession at the UA,” Hart said.

New leadership “I teach leader succession and I do a lot of research in that area, so one of the things I talked with the Board of Regents about in June when I made the announcement is how we can make sure that we have a really a smooth and productive leadership transition for the new president,” Hart said.

She said that, in big corporations, the succession process often takes three to five years and lots of planning in advance in order to do it thoughtfully.

“We in higher education are not, frankly, as good at it, but you can maximize the success of the next leader by thoughtfully laying the groundwork for ways that person can have their own stamp, be a part of the community and also be really successful from the very beginning,” Hart said.

She said in order to ensure this transition, the UA needs to finish their Arizona Now Campaign, complete the implementation of the new $20 million investment into development and lay all the groundwork for the university’s next philanthropic campaign.

Hart said the one thing she would have done differently is spend more time with someone who was deeply embroiled in all the different regional competitions between Phoenix, Tucson and the politics of Arizona as an environment of real turmoil, because it’s taken her some time to understand and feel fully integrated into it.

What’s next?

“I love what I do and I love my colleagues here,” Hart said. “I respect the academic leaders here and the deans and would be honored to have the chance to be a member of the faculty and I’m not particularly interested in being president at yet another institution.”

Hart said she will be joining the UA faculty and has already talked with Gary Rhodes, the director of the Center for the Study of Higher Education, and Ronald Marx, the outgoing dean in the College of Education, about that role and what it will look like.

She added that, since she will no longer be consumed by a presidency, she will have more time to go back to groups that focus on research, publication and teaching.

Hart said she will keep her non-profit board positions and take advantage of new opportunities and will “absolutely” be keeping her board position with DeVry University.

A VIEW OF COLONIA De La Paz, located in the Highland Distrcit on Sept. 8. A pipeline burst on the second floor earlier this week causing major water damage and many hours of cleanup.

Residence Life says La Paz’s flood is ‘extraordinarily rare’

BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall

The second floor of the Colonia de la Paz dorm flooded last Tuesday after an outside force on a sprinkler inside of a room caused the entire floor’s sprinkler system to activate.

The flood affected eight rooms that housed 16 students, which forced those students to move into temporary housing while the water damage was being repaired. This included students in a room on the floor below, since some of the water leaked through the ceiling.

A remediation company, Abracadabra, was called in to do the repairs.

Nick Sweeton, interim executive director of Residence Life, said he expects the students to be able to move back into their rooms sometime this week.

“Every time a significant event like that happens, we get together and extensively research and discuss what happened to determine if there’s anything we can reasonably do to prevent this from happening,” Sweeton said.

At the time of the incident, the La Paz staff, the professional staff on duty, the on-call custodial staff, University of Arizona Police Department, Tucson Fire Department and the UA’s Risk Management Services unit all responded.

Sweeton said that the initial water damage was so bad that the remediation company was called that night.

The incident report determined that the activation was not caused by heat or smoke, meaning that it had to have been triggered by an outside force, according to Sweeton.

“I will say that this is extraordinarily rare for something like this to happen and so, at this point, I don’t know that anything could have reasonably been done to have

prevented this,” Sweeton said. “But at the conclusion of the analysis, if there is something reasonable that we can do to prevent future occurrences, we certainly will do it.”

Shobitha Jillella, a microbiology sophomore living in the Arbol de la Vida dorm, said she could only imagine what those in La Paz have had to go through.

“If that happened to me, I would be pretty upset,” she said. “Many of my things would be damaged, so it would definitely be a huge monetary loss. I would also be extremely stressed out since this incident and the reshuffling afterward with housing would undoubtedly interfere with doing schoolwork.”

Jillella said she thinks Residence Life handled the situation very well given the resources they had, and she is happy the 16 people are able to go back to their dorm after just a week.

Residence Life policies and procedures states: “Rental rates are set at a level that cover expenses and do not include a ‘damages factor.’ For this reason, we are assertive about recovering damages that occur in and around the residence halls.”

Sweeton said the State of Arizona’s insurance does not cover damage to personal property, which is why information about it is included in the license agreement that every resident signs upon moving in.

In regard to the flooding incident in La Paz, Sweeton said he recommends that students verify that their parent’s homeowner’s insurance will cover situations like this or that they purchase renter’s insurance.

The State of Arizona’s insurance will, however, cover the cost of the remediation for damage to the facility, according to Sweeton.

Issues of transperency at Hart T

ransparency for public officials is not an expectation. It is a requirement.

Throughout her tenure at this university, President Ann Weaver Hart has made it apparent to us that she is running a closed-door presidency and has instructed her public relations team to act accordingly.

The Daily Wildcat has been content with the access granted to the publication. Conditional interviews and email interviews have become commonplace and accepted as the norm. We have consequently failed in our responsibility of holding the president accountable.

No longer will the Wildcat cover the president of the UA in such a manner. Hart’s time as the university's president will be coming to an end in the next two years. She announced in June that she will not renew her contract when it expires in 2018, and the Arizona Board of Regents has already began steps to replace her.

A new president will be walking the steps of Old Main soon. Students, faculty and the greater university community that the office of the president represents should not only expect transperency, but demand it from their figurehead.

Hart and her administration have been swimming in a sea of controversy since the turn of the calendar year: the acceptance of a controversial position at a private, for-profit university, questionable spending practices by the administrator of UA’s medical colleges, the mass exodus of the UA College of Medicine—Phoenix senior staff and, ultimately, Hart’s own announcement that her time here is coming to an end.

The doors to the president's office have remained closed throughout these events. Hart's communication with the public has been channeled through her public relations team and written statements emailed to the UA community.

These controversial topics have remained sensitive for the president. The Wildcat recently agreed to a conditional interview with a list of off-topic subjects in a sit-down interview with the president. Hart became frustrated when a controversy was mentioned in the phrasing of a question, and she asked for the interview to be over.

Her public relations team has told the Wildcat we are lucky to have such access to the president.

Therein lies the issue. Meeting and speaking with the university’s figurehead shouldn’t have to be done

under the pretenses of conditional interviews and offlimit subjects.

The Wildcat agreed to a conditional interview because it was our only option to elaborate on her decision to leave the university. For an appointed president of a public university, making any reasonable topic off limits is unacceptable. Hart must answer for these decisions because they are made on behalf of the public she serves.

“The president is not speaking about [insert controversy here] at this time” will no longer be an acceptable response. As student journalists, our job is to keep students informed. We cannot do our job if the president doesn’t allow us to ask questions.

The seven people you'll see at UA parties

BY CLAUDIA DRACE @DailyWildcat

W

hen young adults are drinking in a party atmosphere, they often transform or intensify their personalities. Here are the types of people you’ll find at UA parties.

The Social Butterfly This is the person who has zero fear socially. They are often found interjecting into conversations, regardless of the people or the topic. They can usually be found wandering away from the friends that they came with in order to meet new people.

They will be friends with anyone, and most people are not afraid to be friends with them, either. Despite their sometimes overbearing and boisterous personality, people are often not turned off by them.

The social butterflies differ from the other outgoing partygoers because they are friendly without being creepy. They thrive in the party environment.

The Attention Seeker The attention seeker is not to be mistaken with the social butterfly. The social butterfly is there with the pure motives of making new friends. The attention seeker wants all eyes on them.

They can be found doing crazy stuff thanks to the motivation that they get from their liquid courage. They are the ones who jump off the roof into pools or play crazy drinking games. They want to be the life of the party.

The Social Media Mogul The other type of attention seekers are the ones who document the entire party on social media. Their Snapchat stories are never ending with pictures and videos of everything that happens around them.

A picture is guaranteed to be posted on Instagram in the next 24 hours, and their followers are never disappointed with the constant live tweets.

The Touchy Feeler We have all seen it before: the one who makes their rounds at the party but hardly ever seems to get lucky. Unlike the social butterfly, their addition to the conversation is often unsolicited. No one is interested in them because they reek of alcohol and desperation.

They often touch whoever they are talking to, making the people around them extremely uncomfortable. Their hazy state of mind affects their judgment, so they attempt to make sexual advances but only achieve anything if they are met with a fellow touchy feeler. No one wants the touchy feelers at the parties because they are creepy and can sometimes get scary if they take things too far.

The Sloppy Drunk There are always the people who lack self-control. No matter how much of an experienced drinker they are, they make the mistake of drinking too much, too fast.

Before the alcohol kicks in, they are often fun because they will accept any drinking challenge, which draws a lot of excitement and attention (it is not rare for the attention seeker to become the sloppy drunk) to their proximity.

The next thing they know, they can hardly walk and are incoherently vomiting on themselves. It’s almost as if their mental clock reversed 17 years and turned them into weird toddlers.

The Complainer The complainer is the person who is never happy with the environment. They’re

also known as the angry drunks. There are always either too many guys or too many girls disrupting their statistical chance of a hook-up. They usually feel the need to pick a fight with anyone who looks at them wrong, and they are notorious fun killers.

The Caretaker This is the person that everyone should feel obligated to thank the next day. They watch what they drink and practically stay sober.

They have immense responsibility in terms of their friends and their drinking.

They’re always scanning, making sure that the attention seeker isn’t doing anything that they will wake up regretting the next morning.

They have to monitor the social media mogul’s posting to make sure they don’t put anything online that could hurt their reputation. They have to make sure the complainer refrains from fighting anyone. They’re always looking out for their friends, ready to pounce if a touchy feeler gets a little too close for comfort.

More than anything, their goal is to make sure that no one becomes the sloppy drunk. The caretaker is a blessing to all parties everywhere.

TO BENNU AND BACK: THE JOURNEY OF

OSIRIS-REx

Sept. 23, 2017 Sept. 8, 2016 4:05 p.m.

OSIRIS-REx successfully launches from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canveral, Florida. The rocket launched on schedule the minute its 34-day launch window opened. The actual satellite was situated atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket that left the planet with a hyperbolic escape velocity of about 12,000 mph.

After spending a year orbiting the Sun, OSIRIS-REx will make a close pass to Earth, using the gravitational pull to slingshot itself toward Bennu out in deep space. The trajectory will have to be just right so that the spacecraft will rendezvous with the asteroid at a specific point in space roughly two years after its Earth fly-by.

Illustration by Sam Gross/The Daily Wildcat Information from asteroidmission.org

Aug. 17, 2018 A year out from its final destination, the spacecraft will begin to use small thrusters to match the speed and velocity of Bennu. The asteroid orbits the sun at roughly 63.000 mph.

Sept. 24, 2023

July 4, 2020

Two years after departing Bennu, OSIRISREx will finally come home. Four hours before reentry, the spacecraft will drop the pod carrying the sample from Bennu— firing the sample capsule back at Earth and sending the spacecraft into orbit around the Sun. The sample capsule will hit the atmosphere at 27,738 mph, slowing down until the parachute deploys 1.9 miles above the Earth’s surface. Don’t expect a wild welcoming party for UA’s longgone friend, as it will gently touch down somewhere in the Utah desert.

Four years after lift-off, OSIRIS-REx and Bennu will finally have the “kiss” we’ve all been waiting for.

The spacecraft will approach the asteroid at .22 mph, bumping it in a touch-and-go maneuver, blasting the surface with compressed nitrogen in an effort to essentially kick up dust. OSIRIS-REx has enough nitrogen for three tries and will need to collect 60 grams of surface debris.

March 18, 2018 OSIRIS-REx will reach Bennu and begin the survey phase of the mission for roughly a year. A small arsenal of sensors will map, measure, test and photograph the asteroid in addition to selecting candidate sites for the spacecraft to actually sample the surface.

Get buzzed for cheap at these five Tucson happy hour hotspots

BY SHANE HOLLY @shaneholly94

It’s that time of day. It’s too early to eat dinner, but lunch is a distant memory. Alcohol is singing its sweet song of promise, but there’s no parties tonight. So what’s there to do?

Happy hour, of course.

With great deals on food and drinks at an array of places around town, happy hour is a great way to experience Tucson’s diverse and delectable bar/restaurant scene without breaking the bank.

Illegal Pete’s is a great place to start. With a happy hour that runs from 3-8 p.m. every single day, at Pete’s there’s an energized, college atmosphere bursting with pop music and high-fiving bros.

House margaritas are only $4, and chips and salsa are free with a drink purchase. Is Pete’s Chipotle’s alcoholic cousin who’s in a frat? Yes, but to some people, that’s heaven.

For a quieter soiree, check out Sushi Ten. With a ridiculously long happy hour from 11 a.m.-7 p.m., make a day out of it. All sushi rolls are half priced, sake bombs are $4 and free miso soup and soy beans are provided. Just remember, it’s a marathon and not a sprint.

“Price is my sixth sense,” said optical science senior and Sushi Ten frequenter Feibien Cheah. “And you just can’t beat half-priced sushi.”

Venture downtown to indulge in some of Tucson’s local breweries.

From 3-7 p.m., both Barrio and Thunder Canyon breweries offer drink specials and half-priced appetizers, an affordable way to sample these restaurants’ seriously tasty menus.

BARS HAPPY HOUR TIMES

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

FIRST YEAR HIGHER EDUCATION graduate student Jayson Astor sips a $4 margarita during Illegal Pete’s on University Boulevard’s daily happy hour special on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Astor is a regular at Illegal Pete’s—according to his friend Claire Showerman, “he lives here.”

For a little taste of Mexico, visit Boca Tacos y Tequila, where from 3-6 p.m. you can score $2 tequila shots and $1 mini chicken tacos.

The tacos are accompanied by a palette of unique salsas that come in as many different colors as they do flavors. As a plus, the $5 margaritas are some of the best in Tucson. Slow

service and limited seating are the only drawbacks to this happy hour haven.

Looking for a bougie place to lounge and sip wine? Try Ermanos.

From open to 6 p.m. every day, come in, sit on the wide leather couches and attempt to see your friends across the table in the near-dark. There’s an

eclectic menu of discounted food items including a Hawaiian black sea salt ceviche and a mushroom and onion grilled cheese. Any one of their 27 fabulous wines is just $6 a glass and all 34 draft beers are $1 off.

Plant science senior Jackie Mendelson finds her favorite happy hour order at this laid-back bar.

“The fries are only $3, which rocks because they’re extra delicious,” Mendelson said.

No matter your sensibilities, there is a happy hour spot that fits your specific tastes and budget. So get up, go out and get tipsy in the middle of the afternoon.

What’s coming to Centennial Hall this fall?

BY ALEC KUEHNLE @ThrowMeAnAllie

Have you ever wondered why every so often old folks from all across the Tucson area flock to the UA campus, all welldressed, making University Boulevard more crowded than ever? Well, they come to do the things the elderly do best—spend a night out at the theater.

It’s no secret that many students fail to take advantage of the many opportunities the UA has to offer, but one opportunity all students should make sure to experience is seeing a UA Presents show at Centennial Hall.

We have high-quality performances come to the UA all the time at Centennial, from Broadway plays to famous organists and everything in between. Jay Leno even performed there a couple of years ago.

If you find yourself sick of the same old Netflix-and-chill routine this semester, why not see one of these shows instead and enjoy a taste of high culture? After all, Centennial does offer a student discount.

1

“Cabaret”

To kick off the season later this month, Broadway in Tucson and UA Presents will collaborate to bring the Broadway production of “Cabaret” to the UA. The award-winning musical tells the story of the Kit Kat Klub and those who take the stage there every night as they try to forget their troubles and endure the trying times of pre-WWII Germany. The show will run Sept. 20-25.

2

Twyla Tharp

3

“Mamma Mia!”

4

Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra

As fall (sort of ) starts to envelop Tucson, the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra plans to do the same. The orchestra, a highly distinguished musical group from Poland, will perform Nov. 2.

The group’s performances put a Polish twist on orchestra music, creating an exciting experience for classical fans.

The orchestra’s UA show will also feature 21-year-old South Korean pianist SeongJin Cho, which will make the performance all the more unique.

5

Vocalosity

November will also bring a cappella ensemble group Vocalosity to the stage. Created by Deke Sharon, who helped with the music from the “Pitch Perfect” films, this act brings 12 diverse voices together to unite in musical harmony. If you simply can’t wait any longer for “Pitch Perfect 3,” then hopefully this will tide you over in the meantime.

Although us college students may seem like some of the younger guests at many of these performances, there is no reason why we shouldn’t indulge in the performing arts from time to time.

This list shows just the highlights, but a complete list of everything coming to Centennial this semester—as well as more information about UA Presents—can be found online at uapresents.org.

Tickets for these shows can be purchased online, over the phone or in person.

Don’t let seeing a show at Centennial Hall become another missed college opportunity.

JOAN MARCUS

PROMOTIONAL IMAGE FOR “MAMMA Mia!” running at Centennial Hall Oct. 21-23. The musical, which uses songs by Swedish pop group ABBA, has been performed all over the world since its premiere in 1999.

ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY

PROMOTIONAL IMAGE FOR “CABARET” at Centennial Hall Sept. 20-25. Based on a novel by the same name, “Cabaret” is set in a club in Berlin during the Nazi’s rise to power.

In October, Centennial really kicks things into high gear. On Oct. 9, legendary dancer Twyla Tharp will make her way to the UA stage. Even though her name will not ring a bell with everyone, Tharp remains an important figure in American dance, having danced on stage and screen for 50 years. She will come to the UA with a new company of dancers and a new selection of routines to show off her unique style. Fans of dance will most certainly not want to miss this.

Another great musical will run in Centennial Hall Oct. 21-23. “Mamma Mia!” tells the story of a new bride-to-be who wants to discover who her real father is before her wedding day. This musical is a favorite among fans and continues to attract newcomers as well as those who have seen the show 10 or more times. Set to the music of the band ABBA—including songs like “Dancing Queen” and “Take a Chance on Me”—this tale of a crazy family situation will surely be worth a visit to Centennial.

Gentle Ben’s, Auld Dubliner get astronomical

BY MARYAM SOBHANI @layli_maryam

SIMON ASHER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

MANAGER LAUREN SMITH DRAWS pockets, patches and hoses onto the Gentle Ben’s wooden bear’s astronaut costume at Gentle Ben’s on University Boulevard on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Gentle Ben’s will have space-themed specials on Friday night in celebration of the OSIRIS-REx launch such as the “Starry Night” shot.

With exciting news happening around the UA campus regarding the OSIRIS-REx launch, the UA and Tucson community get ready to celebrate the space exploration.

This Friday, Sept. 9, at 5 p.m., there will be a space exploration-themed Bear Down Friday.

Gentle Ben’s and Auld Dubliner in Main Gate Square will feature spacethemed drinks to celebrate the launch.

Gentle Ben’s will serve their drinks on Friday and Auld Dubliner has been serving them since OSIRIS-REx launched yesterday afternoon.

Gentle Ben’s will feature two special space-themed drink items—the Starry Night and the Milky Way. A shot of Goldschläger and Jäger constitute the Starry Night.

“The name behind it is that it’s like a dark sky with gold flakes going through it, so it looks like a starry night,” said Richard Fifer, the general manager of Gentle Ben’s.

The other drink, the Milky Way, is made with vodka, a hazelnut core and a little bit of Irish cream.

The drink is then shaken to get a rocky head.

Finally, it is topped off with chocolate sauce so that it swirls down in the glass.

“It’s a really creamy drink,” said Cody Rieffer, a manager at Gentle Ben’s.

“We’re recreating the Milky Way, so it’ll look nice, too.”

Auld Dubliner started serving their special drinks at $5 a piece on Thursday, Sept. 8—the night of the OSIRIS-REx launch.

The bar will continue to serve the drinks on Bear Down Friday.

Mitch Preston, the general manager at Auld Dubliner, said there will be two special martinis and two special shooters.

The special martini drinks are called Roswell and Icy Planet, and the shooters are aptly named Stardust and Deep Space.

“I’m really excited to be a part of it and hopefully I can contribute to another milestone of the UA,” Preston said.

Tucson community shines light on mental illness

BY GRETCHYN KAYLOR @notsowild_cat

Just a little over a week ago, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton presented her comprehensive mental health plan, aiming to better support the millions of Americans who struggle with a serious mental condition that affects them or their loved ones.

A panel of speakers discussed the issue, lead by local author Sheila Wilensky, at the Shining a Light on Mental Illness, Eliminating the Stigma workshop held at the Joel D. Valdez Main Library downtown on Tuesday.

Like Clinton, the speakers talked about the importance of recognizing the vital role mental health plays in a person’s being.

Marsi Quigley, who works for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, joined Wilensky along with Jan. 8 shooting survivor Suzi Hileman, UA professor Thaddeus Pace and poet/artist Doreen Scherf—all individuals with a deep connection to and passion for mental health.

Wilensky said that with 20 percent of Americans suffering from mental illness every year, most people will deal with mental health issues periodically throughout their lives.

Wilensky began a few years back with the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords.

The tragic situation gave her a negative perception of the world that she felt also needed to be healed in the Tucson community.

The Jan. 8 incident influenced people to form misconceptions of mentally ill people.

Such misconceptions, according to Wilensky, include others thinking violent mentally ill people can simply “snap out of” their condition, which they cannot.

Extremely damaged people often lack years of someone caring for and helping them, which influences their tendency to be violent.

“We are all in this together,” said Hileman.

“It’s our responsibility to do something about it.”

Pace pointed out that fast-paced contemporary lifestyles make mental illness even more complicated. He said that although it may be hard to see short-term improvements, people should not be afraid to seek behavioral health treatment.

The speakers emphasized that it is especially important for young people— who are still in the formative stages in so many aspects of their life—to not be afraid to be critical of the treatment they are receiving.

They also said that going down the wrong path and being on the wrong medication can prevent individuals from ever moving forward.

Tucson has also addressed and advocated for mental health illness through support communities.

Our Place Clubhouse, a mental health support community established in 1992, is a hub in downtown Tucson. The clubhouse holds a weekly writing group.

Wilensky worked with the group to create

SIMON ASHER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

OUR PLACE CLUBHOUSE, LOCATED on East Pennington Street, is a psych-social rehabilitation center for adults with mental illnesses. Our Place Clubhouse has been serving the Tucson community since 1992.

the book, “A Certain Slant of Light: Emerging from the Shadows of Mental Illness,” which was published in 2014.

The anthology contains prose and poetry written with the intent to encourage others struggling with mental illness to channel their inner artist.

“I don’t ask the question, ‘Why?’, wrote Tyrone Scercy, a “A Certain Slant” contributing writer. “I just live. I want peace and harmony to live with me—not fear and doubt. I want to be able to be free and calm in my spirit. I love the world when it is quiet and its inhabitants are happy with me.”

Former Wildcats ready for NFL debuts

BY MATT WALL @mwall20

Scooby Wright III paced around his house pick after pick, waiting for his name to be called on NFL draft day. Wright hopped over a fence and into a swimming pool to celebrate the phone finally ringing 250 picks and seven rounds later.

Wright can now officially call himself a Cleveland Brown. Wright was notified Saturday morning that he had made the Browns final 53-man roster. For Wright, it’s an impressive story. People have continuously counted him out. From two-star Scoob to seventh-round Scoob, Wright, along with all 14 members of the Browns 2016 draft class, managed to make the NFL squad.

Wright had a message to all the haters, posting “humbled” on his Twitter account early Saturday morning.

Wright tallied eight total tackles during the preseason, with four of those coming against the Chicago Bears in the final preseason game.

Will Parks, who was drafted in the sixth round by the Denver Broncos, also made his team as a safety. Parks totaled six tackles and 1.5 sacks during the preseason.

“God is good.. Officially a Bronco..” Parks wrote on Twitter.

According to the Arizona Daily Star, 11 former Wildcats made NFL rosters after preseason cuts to 53 players per team.

Players include Ka’Deem Carey, Marquis Flowers, Nick Foles, Nick Folk, Rob Golden, Rob Gronkowski, Earl Mitchell, Will Parks, Brooks Reed, Trevin Wade, Scooby Wright III and Will Parks.

Former Wildcats cut Not all Wildcats were so lucky. The Philadelphia Eagles waived Cayleb Jones and the Green Bay Packers released Reggie Gilbert. Jones had produced a successful

preseason with six catches for 59 yards.

Jones would have faced Wright in the first game of the season when the Eagles take on the Browns, had he made the cut.

Gilbert totaled six tackles in four games during the preseason for the Packers.

Both will have an opportunity to make NFL practice squads.

Austin Hill and Dan Pettinato were two more former Wildcats that did not make NFL rosters. Hill had garnered much attention recently from being featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” Hill’s personal story and his daughter made him into a TV star during the show, leaving fans upset to hear the Los Angeles Rams cut him last week.

Hill caught two passes for 16 yards total in the preseason.

“Another Hard Knocks personality casualty, Rams WR Austin Hill was released today, source said,” wrote NFL Insider Ian Rapoport on Twitter.

Pettinato was also cut Friday by the Houston Texans after grabbing six total tackles during the preseason.

New tennis head coach beams confidence

BY MATT WALL @mwall20

Nothing has ever come easy for Arizona men’s tennis head coach Clancy Shields. He played 35 weeks out of the year on the professional tennis circuit at the age of 17. While many of his competitors stayed in lavish hotels, Shields enjoyed a cozy van with his father Pat. “I traveled for a year in a renovated cargo van with no windows,” Shields said. “But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve appreciated

going through hard times. I appreciated going through, some ways, hell. You are sleeping in your own sweat, there’s no ventilation in the van. You are grinding it out eating ramen noodles. That’s what made me the person that I am today.”

Shields and his father traveled the country competing in tournaments for close to a year and a half. It’s a story he shared with his team right off the bat.

“In terms of guys stringing their rackets, they have to learn,” Shields said. “It’s not just hand it

to the manager and they will do it for them. It’s something that we all have to earn. I have to earn this here as a coach and prove myself.

So will all the guys on this team.”

In his years of traveling and competing on the professional circuit, Shields and family had their own share of adventures.

“One time, we were going to El Paso and my dad said we should grab a taco in Juarez,” Shields said.

“We got lost and it was dangerous.

It took us five hours out of the way and we never got a taco. It’s the little things that you find out when

you are traveling on the road. [I was] very fortunate to have a family that sacrificed a lot to do the things I was able to do.”

Shields knows the job he is inheriting won’t be easy. The Wildcats haven’t won a conference match since April 2014.

“There’s no limitations here at Arizona,” Shields said. “I feel like this is the grand stage, so why not be a part of it? Now, we are starting at the bottom, which is obviously a challenge, but I did that at my last school and we rose to the top within three years. We can turn

this program around, as well.”

He knows what it takes to bring a program up from the ground. At Utah State, Shields led the Aggies to a 9-16 overall record in his first season. By year three, the Aggies had an overall record of 21-8 and had won their first conference championship in program history.

“One of the things I really appreciated about those programs are that the kids really worked hard and weren’t given every little thing under the moon,” Shields said. “They had to work for it and

they had to earn it.”

The Prescott, Arizona native was ranked the No. 1 player in the U.S. at the age of 14, but he didn’t earn that overnight. He was first introduced to the sport at the age of 7 and competed nationally with one of his brothers.

“The expectations of the coach and what you see out on the court is up to the players and whether they want to buy into it,” Shields said. “The vision and the plan for the future is going to be the way we want it to be. I think we just try to instill the beliefs that we are a blue-collar team and we work extremely hard with a chip on their shoulder.”

As for now, Shields and his staff are ready to evaluate and prepare for the upcoming fall campaign, which begins mid-September.

“The team we have right now is about finding the right people to put on the bus,” Shields said. “If we get the right guys on the bus and we point the bus in the right direction, then we will get going. Right now, it’s a lot of evaluation and how we can do things even better.”

He is the youngest coach at Arizona at 29 years old, but beams confidence.

“There’s not a thing that comes across my table every day that I don’t believe I can do,” Shields said.

He has a full plate heading into the fall season, but more than anything, Shields has the mindset to succeed.

“What the program was in the past is not what it will be in the future,” Shields said. “If [players] are excited about working hard and competing in the best conference and having a coach that will push them really hard, then this place is for you. We expect results and we compete every day consistently—that’s kind of the motto here.”

Lainey Burdett’s return is boost for team

BY RYAN KELAPIRE @RKelapireUA

Lainey Burdett’s playing status was in question just days before the start of the Arizona soccer season. The starting goalkeeper’s tonsils swelled, forcing her to head to the doctor’s office.

“And when it happened, [the doctors] were like, ‘oh we might as well test you for [mononucleosis],’” Burdett said.

The tests concluded Burdett had indeed contracted the virus, which is known for causing fatigue, among other symptoms.

“I’d like to say it wasn’t that bad,” Burdett said of the illness. “The only reason I ended up going to the doctor’s [office] was because my tonsils get swollen every year.”

But doctors disagreed and Burdett was shut down for the time being.

“According to the doctors, it was pretty serious,” Burdett said. “I wasn’t able to be around my team because it was contagious.”

Burdett was able to re-join the team, but wasn’t cleared to take on a normal workload.

“It was definitely different,” Burdett said.

“I just had school and then I’d do some things that didn’t require a lot of energy or contact at practice. It was just nice and easy trying to get back into it.”

As Burdett stayed behind to recover, her team departed to Malibu, California, for its season opener against Pepperdine, where freshman goalkeeper Meredith Reinhardt got the nod in Burdett’s place.

But he combination of a young backline plus a goalkeeper making her first collegiate start didn’t bode well for the Wildcats, as they

allowed three goals in a loss to the Waves.

“It’s different,” UA senior defender Laura Pimienta said. “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.”

Burdett’s leadership in net was missed and Pepperdine took advantage of a disjointed UA defense. And all she could do was watch it unfold.

“It’s frustrating because you see things that you’re like ‘oh I would have done this’ or ‘I would have done that,’” Burdett said. “But Meredith did a really good job stepping in.”

Reinhardt started the next two games for

Arizona and they beat Utah Valley in their home opener then salvage a draw against a top-20 Texas Tech team on the road, pushing the team’s record to 1-1-1.

Reinhardt and the Wildcats had noticeably improved from the season-opening loss to Pepperdine, and a week later, the team elevated to an even higher level.

In the Sun Devil Desert Classic, Arizona beat Denver and Columbia, outscoring them 5-0 and outshooting them 44-6.

The secret to the Wildcats’ domination?

“Lainey,” said UA forward Charlotte Brascia. “I think Meredith did a great job of covering for her when she was sick, but I think Lainey just holds our backline together

and organizes [it] really well.”

Burdett returned and immediately made an impact, posting two shutouts in two games at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium.

“Being able to be back into the game and able to contribute, it’s been awesome,” Burdett said after the UA’s 3-0 win against Denver. “It was definitely different than having to sit on the sideline watching my team.”

It was just a change in net, but Burdett’s presence trickled down to the entire team.

Her experience plus her ability to manage the defense couldn’t be overlooked.

“She came a semester early her freshman year, so she had that under her belt, and she had last season under her belt, so that experience makes a massive difference,” Arizona Head Coach Tony Amato said. “And you can kind of see that flow from where she is all through the team.”

The two victories in Tempe improved the Wildcats’ record to 3-1-1. They now have five of their next six games at home and, perhaps most importantly, Burdett back in the net for the foreseeable future.

In other words, the Wildcats have a great opportunity in front of them to extend their current two-game winning streak as Pac-12 Conference play draws near.

The season-opening loss to Pepperdine suddenly seems like a distant memory.

“I thought Meredith did a nice job, but it’s no secret that we have a lot of faith in Lainey,” Amato said. “When she’s healthy she gives us a great chance of winning.”

Arizona defense showed progress in loss

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro

Arizona allowing only 18 points last season would have won them five of the seven games they lost.

But it was not enough last Saturday.

Though the Wildcats played relatively well in their new scheme, they know they will need to add more to get into to the win column throughout the season.

Now that their feet are wet, more production from the defense could be in store. They did not force any turnovers or sack BYU quarterback Taysom Hill last week, but that should change against Grambling State on Saturday. If Arizona can force more down-and-distance opportunities, it can pin its ears back on passing downs and play more aggressively.

“The thing that makes the best defensive players the best is that

they are really aggressive,” said head coach Rich Rodriguez. He wants his team to attack the ball more aggressively but also become more sure in its tackles.

“One thing I can be more of is a sure tackler because, as a safety, you have to play in the box,” safety Jarvis McCall said.

Rodriguez appears to have his defensive players locked in with an aggressive mindset.

“Dane Cruishank, Tellas Jones, Devonte Neal and FlanniganFowles know once the ball is in the air, it is ours,” McCall said. “We are trying to get the pick. If it is necessary for us to knock it down, then so be it. But our mentality is to go up there and try and get a pick.”

They will also need help from the offense to sustain drives and keep the defense fresh. If the offense cannot stay on the field, it typically does not matter how well

of a performance the defense gives.

They will bend and eventually break and allow the opposing offense to rip off big gains.

Despite being on the field for over 37 minutes, the Wildcats’ defense had their best performance against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent since their 2014 17-7 loss to UCLA. Just like the BYU game, the offense did not play up to par and wasted a solid performance from the defense.

Quarterback Anu Solomon is listed as questionable for Grambling State with a knee injury, so the Wildcats might need their defense more than ever this Saturday.

Whether it is Brandon Dawkins or a hampered Solomon, they will need to put the offense in a position to win the game. If Dawkins makes the start, Arizona will need to make sure it gets better field position this time around.

UA looks for first win in home debut

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro

After last week’s heartbreaking 18-16 loss at the hands of BYU, the Arizona football has their home opener this Saturday against the Grambling State Tigers. After playing BYU in Phoenix at a neutral field, the Wildcats get to enjoy a home-field advantage that could potentially disrupt the Tigers’ flow.

“The student section always gives us energy because of how loud they are,” said UA safety Chacho Ulloa. “They can mess up the other team’s offense. We hear them on the sidelines; it is good support and they bring good energy to the stadium.”

Arizona may have a new quarterback this Saturday after Anu

Solomon suffered a knee injury in practice. Fans may see Brandon Dawkins his first start this Saturday, who would bring a different element to Arizona’s offense. While he may not be as polished of a passer as Solomon is, he is much more prolific in the run game and with extending plays.

Dawkins went 20-38 for 338 yards for two touchdowns and two interceptions last season. He also carried the ball 32 times for 179 yards and two touchdowns despite being the third-string quarterback.

Arizona running back Nick Wilson is coming off a strong performance against BYU with 17 carries for 138 yards and two touchdowns. In a conference with Christian McCaffrey, Royce Freeman and Myles Gaskin, it is

Wilson that currently leads the Pac12 Conference in rushing yards.

Wilson had 120 rushing yards in the second half against BYU last Saturday and will look to pick up where he left off.

The Tigers are coming off of a 7212 rout of Virginia at Lynchburg and look to be a Football Championship Subdivision force this season. Their offense produced a staggering 665 yards of total offense, including over 400 on the ground.

Quarterback DeVante Kincade led the rushing attack with four carries for 139 yards and two touchdowns while also throwing for two touchdowns. He split time at the quarterback position with Trevon Cherry, who went 11 for 15 for 140 yards and two touchdowns in the win.

Grambling receiver Martez Carter had an electrifying performance last week, as he needed just eight touches to accumulate a staggering 226 yards of total offense. Carter was also one of 11 different receivers to register a catch against Lynchburg, so Arizona cannot just key on one guy.

“We are focused on everybody, we cannot just go in the game thinking these guys cannot play or these guys are Grambling State,” said safety Jarvis McCall. “We have to come in with the mindset that these guys are good, they are hungry and they want to upset us,” he added.

Kickoff is at 7:45 p.m. at Arizona Stadium and the game will be televised on Pac-12 Network.

Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon is listed as questionable with a knee injury, according to the injury report that was released Thursday.

The redshirt junior was named the starter for the third consecutive season moments before kickoff in Saturday’s season opener against BYU, and threw for 213 yards, two interceptions and zero touchdowns.

“They don’t need [Solomon] to beat Grambling or Hawaii ...,” Arizona Daily Star sports columnist Greg Hansen wrote in a text message. “... It now gives Dawkins the stage. I think many fans want to see what he’s got ... Also gives Rich [Rodriguez] more juice to get an indoor facility, since Anu appears to have been hurt during Wednesday morning storm.”

Solomon led Arizona to its first Pac12 South title and a Fiesta Bowl bid in his freshman season. His sophomore year, however, was riddled with injury.

Redshirt sophomore Brandon Dawkins was also in the running for Arizona’s starting quarterback spot all summer and throughout fall camp.

Head coach Rich Rodriguez claimed both were neck-and-neck.

Now the attention turns to Dawkins, who will be a candidate for his debut as a starter against Grambling State on Saturday.

He has spent the past couple seasons behind both Solomon and former Wildcat Jerrard Randall.

Dawkins was a three-star recruit coming out of Oaks Christian in Westlake Village, California.

Through two seasons, Dawkins has completed 20 of 38 passes for 334 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Safety Tellas Jones was also listed as questionable on Thursday’s injury report with an ankle injury. Receiver Tony Ellison was listed as out with a knee injury.
