The College of Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture recently named an associate dean for research. Arthur C. Nelson was appointed to the leadership position, which is a new addition to CAPLA. The research area of CAPLA is the only section undergoing changes within leadership positions. “The smaller units within CAPLA don’t have deans,” said Mary C. Hardin, associate dean and professor for CAPLA. “They just have directors, so they won’t be making any other changes.” COOPER TEMPLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT Janice Cervelli, the CAPLA dean, ARCHITECTURE SENIOR Jose Gonzalez works on a design project at the selected Nelson for this position.

The “red zone” is the time from which fall semester classes begin until the sixth week of school and is a bigger concern for first-year students. McKendry said that it is possible that first-year students are more at risk due to being in a new environment with new surroundings. “Most first-year students are under 21, so
A 2011 grant used to create a suicide preventative program recently ran out after three years, but the program is still running. The grant, issued from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, allowed the UA to create Project Lifeline, a suicide prevention operation. “The goals of the project are to decrease stigma around mental health issues, specifically suicide, and to increase help-seeking behaviors among students,” said Melanie Fleck, outreach specialist for health prevention and preventive services at Campus Health Service. “So, encouraging to them to go and seek help and talk to friends or talk to a professional if they need it.” Fleck said the program staff is currently trying to set up a website for Project Lifeline. “We named it preventsuicide. arizona.edu, because we thought that really captured how we wanted to promote it on the campus,” Fleck said. “We really wanted to market it as a suicide prevention resource.” Fleck said that the website includes statistics about student mental health and things that individuals can do to help raise awareness about it.

Community Chatter Employee use of marijuana in debate
How do you feel about the recent Urban Outfitters faux pas involving their vintage Kent State sweatshirt?
mcclatchy-tribune
WASHINGTON — In Port Townsend, Wash., City Manager David Timmons said he’s trying to figure out how to handle city employees who want to use medical marijuana at work. In Boulder, Colo., City Manager Jane Brautigam said the city bought a new truck for inspectors who complained about the smell of marijuana after going to new pot establishments. And in Charlotte, N.C., City Manager Ron Carlee is wondering how long it will be before the new challenges of marijuana legalization find their way to his state. “This is all totally fascinating me, sitting in North Carolina, where our hot issue in Mecklenburg County is banning tobacco use in public places,” he said. “It will be a long time before we have to wrestle with the marijuana issues — possibly. But who knows?” The popular push to legalize pot has put marijuana high on the agenda for the 4,000 city and county managers gathered in Charlotte this week for their 100th annual conference. It’s a time when the professionals charged with overseeing the nuts and bolts of local government operations get together each year to share their best practices. On Tuesday, the group — called the International City/County Management Association — put together a presentation on what marijuana legalization could mean for local communities and governments. City and county officials said it’s a growing issue of concern for them after Washington state and Colorado opened retail pot shops this year and 23 states now allow marijuana use for medicinal purposes. “At the end of the day, professional managers have to implement those decisions,” said Carlee, who moderated the marijuana discussion. Timmons said land-use planners in his community have sought to make sure pot stores aren’t located next to schools or parks. And he said police in Washington state have had to change their training protocols, noting that even some police dogs have had to be retrained to no longer sniff marijuana. “You kind of have to change that whole culture within the police agencies,” Timmons said. He said city officials have discussed personnel regulations and how to deal with employees who have prescriptions for marijuana with no specific

“Dr. Nelson brings vast experience in helping colleges across the [U.S.] build strong research programs,” Cervelli said. According to a UA press release, before working at the UA, Nelson worked at Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and the University of Utah. According to CAPLA’s website, Nelson’s research has been supported by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the National Science Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency and several other organizations. “We’re really trying to help faculty members in our college learn how to do that better — that is, to bring in grant funding that supports their research,” Hardin said. She said she thinks the productivity of faculty members will also improve with publishing and funding their research. Nelson is also a resource for students and faculty members
dosages. Union leaders already have raised the issue of using marijuana at work on behalf of city employees. “It’s coming, and we’ve got to kind of create some kind of guidelines for it,” Timmons said. In Colorado, Brautigam said her city decided to use armored trucks to collect tax revenues from the city’s new all-cash marijuana businesses, which can’t use banking services because marijuana is still illegal under federal law. Even the cash smells like pot, she said, and the city decided to buy new uniforms and a new truck for inspectors after discovering that the smell was nearly impossible to eliminate. “It is a very odiferous thing,” Brautigam said. She said the city has not overhauled any of its personnel policies. “You’re not allowed to be at work and be intoxicated, and that includes alcohol and marijuana, whether it’s prescribed or not,” Brautigam said. Bill Kirchhoff, a former city manager who is now a municipal adviser for the city of Coronado, Calif., said many cities will struggle as they try to stop treating marijuana use as a criminal issue and regard it more as a medical option for employees. And he predicted that such a transition will be particularly hard for older managers. “That’s going to clash against the core values of your management team, who for decades now have been fighting marijuana and treating it as a crime,” Kirchhoff said. And he said city and county managers will also face new burdens in dealing with the press. “The last thing any city manager wants to hear through the media is that an employee is smoking pot down at City Hall,” Kirchhoff said. “You’ll have to get ahead of this curve somehow.” City and county officials said they planned the panel discussion as a way to put a spotlight on their new role in dealing with marijuana legalization. They said that cities and counties often have an underappreciated job while the attention goes to state legislators, who get to decide the larger policy questions of whether to legalize marijuana for medical or recreational purposes. After listening to the presenters outline the issues facing cities, Carlee said: “This is a fascinating list of things that were probably were not discussed in state legislatures.”
here on campus who need help with research. “He is really good at helping to mentor junior faculty with their research agendas and is excellent at bringing students into those research projects,” Cervelli said. “That’s exactly what we’re looking to do with our college and to help advance the university in general.” Cervelli said she is optimistic about building the college’s research portfolio, as well as the number of grants and contracts faculty will attract. According to Cervelli, Nelson has already acquired over $10 million to fund his research. “It will help us hire some of the best faculty and recruit those faculty and students that are interested in the whole area of sustainable cities and the design and planning of sustainable cities,” Cervelli said. Nelson comes from an experienced background, Cervelli said. He is now a professor within CAPLA and teaches a course on planning real estate development.
“[He brings faculty] from a diverse set of fields together to work on some of the most important problems facing cities today,” Cervelli said. Cervelli said that the implementation of the new position in CAPLA will help complement the university, which is already one of the leading institutions in the world in climate change research. “[It will also] help bring partnerships from the university into CAPLA, and vice versa,” Cervelli said. Nelson was out of town and could not be reached for comment. According to a UA News press statement, “Dr. Nelson believes that to be relevant, research and scholarship must extend beyond single degree silos while also reaching practicing professionals and their constituents.”
“I don’t like it. It’s very wrong of them, though. Urban Outfitters has a history of their clothing being completely inappropriate. [Kent State] was a protest; it was a peaceful protest. They were the ones going out and putting daisies into the barrels of the guns. It’s just wrong.” —Dalal Kaddoura, journalism and interdisciplinary studies sophomore
“I just think we should have people thinking through things more often. I don’t think the person who put it on the shelf was like, ‘Oh, dang, this is going to be great. They’re going to think about the Kent State shooting.’ They obviously just thought it was a cool shirt. And that happens so much these days, just people not thinking things through.” —Nicholas Merendo, aerospace engineering junior
“I think it was pretty poor judgment on their part. I don’t know who would really want to buy that kind of stuff.” —Ronnie Reuvers, business sophomore
“Well, they kind of already left a bad taste in my mouth with the whole shirt that was like, ‘girls don’t need to eat’ type thing. … Urban Outfitters [caters] to the kind of fringe to people — like, I hate to say it, but to the hipster crowd — the cool crowd. … But that was kind of a turnoff. So just seeing the Kent State thing … that’s some pretty poor taste. How did it get out in the first place? It makes me want to shop there less.” —Gabby Miller, archaeology graduate student

I thought they were lovely and definitely saw the positive impact it had on other students in the library.” Fleck said that they are also adding classroom resources to the program, in addition to Hope Notes. “We created disciplinespecific modules around suicide prevention,” Fleck said. According to Fleck, the main purpose behind this is to get students who aren’t majoring in psychology or related fields to understand how suicide prevention connects to their major. Fleck said despite the grant reaching its end, the program’s staff will continue to working on Project Lifeline. “It’s not necessarily about funding,” Fleck said. “All the staff who have been working on it are going to continue working on it. We just really need the person power.”

Admit it. You’re racist. BY NICK HAVEY
The Daily Wildcat
W
elcome to 2014, a world in which nearly everyone between the ages of 18 and 35 is aware of or has engaged in some form of online dating. Whether it’s the depressing game of Hot or Not, Tinder or a more refined (though still depressing) website, such as OkCupid or Match.com, it’s likely that if you’re single, you may have waded through hundreds of profiles to find “the one.” The problem with online dating, however, is that on most platforms, everyone is superficial. And by superficial, I mean racist. When people lead off their profiles with statements like “not into black girls, so don’t try,” it’s no wonder the majority of American adults are single for the first time in history. Christian Rudder, co-founder of OkCupid, recently released a notso-shocking exposé, “Dataclysm: Who We Are (When We Think No One’s Looking),” about the statistics surrounding his dating site in regard to race and, more specifically, “who we are when we think no one’s looking.” Earlier this week, The Atlantic released a video in which Rudder explains a great deal of the information, all of which is regrettably expected. Since it first began conducting this sort of research at OkCupid in 2009, the company reported that non-black men generally applied a penalty of sorts to black women. That is, they moved on from their profiles at an alarmingly higher rate. Women tended to prefer men of their own race and also often harshly penalized Asian and black men. And because OkCupid allows customers to list more than one race on their profiles, we can see this trend in even greater detail among mixedrace people. Statistically, adding the phrase “and white” to the race category reduced the amount of bias. “Asian and white” had a 13 percent increase in positive feedback compared to people who listed themselves as just Asian, while the combination “black and white” had a 14 percent increase and “Latino and white” had a 6 percent increase over black and Latino, respectively. I’d like to think most people today make an attempt at being progressive. According to OkCupid’s research, just fewer than 5 percent of people surveyed still think “interracial marriage is a bad idea.” I’d guess this demographic has never let go of the antebellum era. But what’s the excuse for the rest of us? You might ask, “Does being attracted to my own race make me racist?” And that’s a fair question. “On an individual level, a person can’t really control who turns them on — and almost everyone has a ‘type,’ one way or another,” Rudder writes in an OkCupid blog post. “But I do think the trend — the fact that race is a sexual factor for so many individuals, and in such a consistent way — says something about race’s role in our society.” In other words, this problem isn’t about you, the individual, being more attracted to people of your own race. It’s about us, as a society, penalizing and judging people of color on a subconscious level. It’s about why an individual grows up to prefer dating people of his or her own race in the first place. Sadly, dating has evolved into an almost job-interview-like project. Does this person live in a good school district? Do we have matching political ideologies? Will their racist grandparents hate me? All of these are valid questions and point to a greater societal problem: that race still matters. But it’s still hard to acknowledge that we bring the baggage of white privilege and social constructs into a relationship. I don’t want to worry about that if I choose to bring someone home who isn’t as pasty white as I am. Which is perhaps why we’ve simply chosen to ignore the problem. In this case, perhaps we should consider taking some advice from the hit musical, “Avenue Q”: “If we all could just admit that we are racist a little bit, even though we all know that it’s wrong, maybe it would help us get along.” And maybe we can start by interrogating our own actions and reactions in situations, like online dating, where we aren’t actively thinking about race — but where race is very much acting upon us.

Her church is no stranger to immigration issues. Robles Loreto’s legal support shows no sign of giving up. “I am confident that it’s going to work out,” Cowan said. “If the government doesn’t act, communities will support undocumented families to say, ‘We have earned the right to be here and we’re not leaving.’” This month, there might be a couple of sanctuary cases, but next month there could be 40, Robles Loreto said.

probably not a prudent thing to do. Or perhaps one ought to look at how exactly people are spending their money. For example, Washington state has started to tax Netflix, dating centers and Turkish baths. Maybe states should look at what they do and do not tax. Wherever we look, it is important to know that any solution must keep in mind a very important precept: Fighting income inequality shouldn’t be about making rich people poorer. Instead, we should be about making more poor people richer. Disincentivizing the rich is a great way to disincentivize creativity and all the great things we enjoy in a capitalist economy like ours. Nonetheless, there is no reason to stop people from thinking about creative solutions. For anxious state lawmakers and policy makers, this is just one other reason to realize how big of an issue income inequality really is. It’s not the abstract realm of Thomas Piketty’s “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” or presidential election rhetoric. The concentration of wealth in this country has direct consequences on state legislatures and their ability to fund the local programs we all enjoy. And if the result of that is a tax on Netflix, I think every college student should be paying attention.

A female student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for minor with spirituous liquor in body on Sept. 6. A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call around 3 a.m. of a female student passed out on the sidewalk in front of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house. Upon arrival, a passerby flagged down the officer, directing them to the woman lying on the sidewalk. The officer noted that she was breathing but unresponsive, and the officer identified her by her CatCard that was with her. The Tucson Fire Department and UA Emergency Medical Services were both brought onto the scene to evaluate the female student. They were able to wake her up and clear her. The woman told TFD that she had been drinking at an offcampus party, and when asked how much she had to drink, she said, “Enough … maybe too much.” She did not give the location of where the drinking had taken place or what she had consumed. The officer explained the diversion program to the female student, and she said she understood that she was being diverted to the Dean of Students Office.

An individual had stolen several items from the south basketball gym equipment room of the Student Recreation Center on Sept. 6. A UAPD officer was called on the scene by Rec Center employees regarding the possible theft of equipment for the wheelchair rugby team. The team’s assistant coach said that two weeks prior, he had conducted inventory of the equipment, and nothing was missing at the time. The storage area in question is secured by a roll-up door. When the team came in to practice on Sept. 6, it was discovered that several items were missing, some of which were UA property. The items included an air inflator and two rugby balls. A player also had personally-owned equipment stolen. Of the personal items stolen were a black wheelchair bag and a pair of racing gloves. These were items he said he needed in order to participate in games. The player said he had no interest in the judicial proceedings that would come and said he simply wanted his equipment back so he would be able to play. The team’s equipment manager and Rec Center staff all informed the officer that the roll-up door for the storage could be locked. However, because of the several staff members with access to it, no one knew if it was locked at all times. The Rec Center staff was provided with a case number, and Victims Rights forms were mailed to both the UA and to the player who had his personal equipment stolen.

Nonconference football grades BY Roberto Payne & James Kelley photos by rebecca marie sasnett The Daily Wildcat
Quarterback
running back Like the starting quarterback quandary, the question of whether Arizona can take the loss of its all-time leading rusher Ka’Deem Carey looks to be answered. The Wildcats have had backs rush for over 100 yards four times in three games with fifth-year senior Terris JonesGrigsby running for 124 yards on 13 carries in the opener. After Jones-Grigsby went down with an injury, true freshman Nick Wilson has stepped in and has run for 449 yards this year, good enough for fourth in the country. He is also seventh in rushing yards per game in the NCAA and 23rd in the country in yards per carry.
It was only a few weeks ago that the identity of the starting quarterback was a mystery. In his first game, redshirt freshman Anu Solomon broke the freshman record for passing yards and racked up 475 yards of total offense, the fourth most in UA history. Solomon is 10th in the country in total offense, 13th in passing yards and passing touchdowns and 23rd in passing efficiency. He is second in the Pac-12 Conference in total offense and third in passing yards per game; the Wildcats are eighth in the country in total offense. Solomon has thrown eight touchdowns to his one interception.

special teams

Not since Nick Folk has Arizona had a reliable kicker. This changed once Casey Skowron earned the kicking job during fall camp. Just a few years ago, Skowron was the Arizona soccer team manager. Fast forward to today and the redshirt junior is 7-8 in field goals and a perfect 14-14 in PATs. He has stabilized a position that has been volatile in recent years. Punter Drew Riggleman has been decent so far, with his 2014 averages close to his 2013 marks. The downside has come from the return game. The average punt return this year (7.2) is almost identical to last year’s paltry marks (7.3). The big difference is in kick returns ,where the team has struggled to a 16-yard average, down from 20.5 last season. In essence, the lack of a solid return game significantly harms the special team grades.
Arizona’s other preseason highly touted position group, wide receivers, is proving to be so deep, it might be hurting each player’s stats. The Wildcats are 24th in the country in passing, and eight different receivers have caught passes — in addition to Wilson and Jones-Grigsby. Redshirt sophomore Cayleb Jones has 16 catches, followed by sophomore Samajie Grant with 14. The only Wildcat in the Pac-12 top 10 receptions per game is Jones with 5.3 in 10th place, and he’s the only UA player in the top 10 in the league in receiving yards per game 96.3, which is fourth.

defensive linemen
linebackers
Just Monday, Rodriguez spoke on his displeasure with the pass rush this season. The Wildcats have collected six total sacks in the first three games, which is tied for fifth in the conference, but only one of those sacks comes from a defensive lineman. Part of that can be attributed to playing a 3-3-5 defense that is built to stop the spread offense, but the frustrating part comes from the lack of pressure on quarterbacks. Opposing QBs have been given ample time in the pocket to make decisions. For that reason, the defensive line has failed.
No positional group suffered more significant losses from last season than the linebacking core. Gone are starters Jake Fischer and Marquis Flowers. The duo combined for 192 tackles and were the top-two tacklers on last season’s squad. This year, Arizona is led by sophomore Scooby Wright III and his teamleading 33 total tackles and two sacks. After starting as a true freshman last year, Wright III has stepped into a prominent leadership role this year and has noticeably improved in his awareness. While Jake Matthews and DeAndre’ Miller have each contributed double-digit tackles, the linebackers begin and end with Scooby Wright III.
Football guide grade:
C+ D
Nonconference grade:
#18 Jordan Allen, redshirt senior defensive lineman
defensive backs
offensive linemen
While the defensive line has struggled, the defensive backs have been fairly consistent this season. Despite Arizona’s pass defense ranking 10th in yards allowed and interception totals ranking sixth in the conference, the passing defense has been adequate. Those high statistical totals can be partially attributed to an explosive Arizona offense that rarely stays on the field for extended amounts of time. The defensive backs have played a considerable amount of snaps with a lead and thus teams are bound to attempt more passes. A similar situation this year is Oregon, which ranks 11th in passing yards allowed but plays at a high pace like Arizona.
With four returning starters, the offensive line was supposed to be a strength going into the season and it has been. Much of Solomon’s success has been the five protecting him. The Wildcats have only given up four sacks this season. The offensive line has also opened up holes on run plays, helping Jones-Grigby and Wilson to four games of over 100 yards rushing. The Wildcats have rushed for 805 yards this year, which is 19th best in the country. The backs change, but the yards keep piling up: Arizona has produced a 100-yard rusher in 20 straight games, the tied for the most since 1996 with Nebraska.

Pac-12 teams, and they are all gone now. While the conference will still be solid overall, the Pac-12 is significantly diminished talent-wise from last season and will likely not have another powerhouse team other than Arizona this season. The only consolation is that
Arizona is projected to be a topfive team, so maybe the selection committee will cut it some slack because of its talent. The Wildcats return five players with starting experience, four of which racked up doubledigit starts, and another top-10 recruiting class. If they are to
advance to the Final Four for the first time since 2001, the easier schedule makes this year the perfect season to do it.

Toughness is key for UA The Arizona volleyball team has opened the season 8-1 with its only loss coming to No. 2 Texas and has its sights set on much more
BY EVAN ROSENFELD The Daily Wildcat
“What doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger” is a mantra the No. 20 Arizona volleyball team can relate to — especially after last weekend at the 26 West Longhorn Classic in Austin, Texas. In practice last week, Arizona head coach Dave Rubio said that the true measure of the team will be when it hits a bump in the road and takes on a few losses. He also said the one thing that can level the playing field regardless of physical size and experience is serving, something Arizona struggled with against the No. 2 ranked team in the country. This past weekend when the Wildcats (8-1) were overwhelmed offensively and swept in straight sets by Texas, costly errors
compounded with sloppy offense contributed to their demise. Additionally, the Longhorns utilized their physical advantage and were able to out-block Arizona 10-4 while holding the Wildcats to a measly .197 hitting percentage. Over the course of the match, Arizona committed an unprecedented 20 attack errors, 12 service errors and five receiving errors, which was twice as many attack errors (10), three times as many service errors (4) and twoand-a-half times as many receiving errors (2) as Texas. Rubio put the blame on himself, saying that it’s now time for the coaching staff to do its job. “It’s about our ability as coaches to be well prepared every day in practice and push these guys as far as they could be pushed,” Rubio said. “This group will go as far as I
can take them, and I can’t say that about all the teams I’ve coached in the past.”
All hail the Kingdon
Last weekend, senior outside hitter Madi Kingdon compiled her fourth and fifth 20-plus-kill matches of the year, the 19th and 20th of her career, and enabled Arizona to battle through each of its sets against Texas, keeping the game competitive until the Longhorns surged late in the sets. She gathered 58 kills and 23 digs throughout the three-game tournament. Kingdon has been a huge reason for the Wildcats’ success this season. The Phoenix native has recorded 175 of the Wildcats 422 total kills this year — or over 40 percent — and ranks third on the team in digs, averaging 2.79 per set. “Madi is elite,” Rubio said. “I’ve
been doing this for a long time and I can tell you with full confidence that she’s one of the two or three best players I’ve ever coached in our program since I’ve been here. I believe that she truly is one of the top players in the country.”
Weekend trifecta
Fans will have three chances to watch Arizona volleyball this weekend, as the team plays Friday at 10:30 a.m. against Coppin State, 7 p.m. against Tulane and Saturday at 12:30 p.m. against UMBC. The three games will close out the nonconference portion of the schedule as ASU comes to McKale Center next Wednesday in Arizona’s Pac-12 Conference opener. — Follow Evan Rosenfeld @EvanRosenfeld17

the party never stops

Mad Decent Block Party stopped in Phoenix this last Friday. The show featured acts from Dillon Francis, Diplo and the Zeds Dead.
Mad Decent Block Party performed in Phoenix this last weekend to a full crowd BY Mckenzie storey

T
he touring summertime mini-fest Mad Decent Block Party took over Phoenix on Friday. The event took place at Rawhide with one stage and eight artists. The stage set at the front of a large field speckled by food trucks, bars and water fountains. The event began around 5 p.m. while the sun was still shining and it was still above 100 degrees. Sunset was when the crowd began to swell, and the must-see artists were about to go on. The lineup included big names Dillon Francis, Diplo,
Flosstradamus and Zeds Dead. These big names mostly attracted EDM-crazed teens and college students. However, due to artists Cashmere Cat and STRFKR being on the lineup, the crowd was more varied. The set list flowed from synth-pop to hip-hop EDM to dubstep. I was pleasantly surprised by the mere 15 minutes between each set and the producers’ ability to stay on time. I can’t remember the last time a festival stayed on track with the released set times. Once STRFKR was on stage, the party didn’t stop until the event ended just around midnight. STRFKR’s electronica indie pop sound was the perfect thing to
warm the crowd up for what was to come. Dillon Francis followed with an honorable mention, driving the energy of the crowd up and keeping everyone dancing until he walked off stage. Now, as shocking as this may be, Diplo followed with a pitiful performance. He completely lost the attention of the crowd; everyone went to grab a drink or snack at this point in the show. It
was as if he plugged his iPhone in, hit play and walked off stage. Diplo was the Mad Decent Block Party’s intermission. Personally, I was shocked, as Diplo is the head of the Mad Decent label — and this was, after all, the Mad Decent Block Party. However, the night was not yet over. Still to come were Flosstradamus and Zeds Dead. Flosstradamus had the crowd dancing and screaming again after one minute into its first song. It didn’t hurt that none other than Waka Flocka Flame strolled out just as it began playing. Its set, full of hip hop and head-banging drops, made it my favorite of the
night. Just about as Flosstradamus came to its last song, the crowd began to thin. Midnight was approaching, and the cab line was growing. Zeds Dead, being the headliners of the festival, played all of their best and almost blew out the speakers. It was a perfect ending to a very long night. Those that stayed until the end and had to wait over an hour for a cab would only say it was worth the wait. I’m sure everyone is hoping that Phoenix is a stop the next time the Mad Decent Block Party goes on tour. — Follow Mckenzie Storey @KAMP_Radio
Art students symbolize tragedy of Gaza conflict BY victoria pereira The Daily Wildcat

Combat for the Stage is a class that allows students to exercise skills outside the classroom. Then-junior acting major Brenna Welsh and then-junior musical theatre major Sarah Bartley perform a fight scene from using rapiers and daggers during their stage combat class outside of the Tornabene Theatre last semester.
3 cool classes to look out for this fall semester BY kevin c. reagan The Daily Wildcat
The UA offers a wide variety of courses each semester. Among the numerous sections of organic chemistry and introduction to statistics that flood the catalogs on UAccess, there are some more unique classes that are easy to miss. Though some may be reserved for a specific major, the following three classes may have you visiting with your advisor about rethinking your academic future:
1. NSC 497F — Community School Garden Workshop (Instructors: Morgan Apicella, Sallie Marston, Sarah Kelly)
This special workshop course allows UA students to go forth into the wide world and plant the seeds of knowledge into the minds of local schoolchildren. Pardon the pun, but this course teaches valuable skills in leadership, lesson planning and general maintenance of building a community garden. From soil composting to raising hens, this course is versatile with its daily lessons, but the overall goal is to give students the chance to teach younger students about the sustainable benefits of growing their own food. According to Sallie Marston, a geography professor and one of the instructors, the course first teaches students about the unique factors that go into designing a garden in the harsh desert landscape. Students then take what they learn at the UA and disperse it into the classrooms of local schools in the Tucson area. Though the students may not be able to eat the food that they grow due to regulations set by Pima County, their experience creates a lasting link with the community.
2. TAR 402A — Combat for the Stage (Instructor: Brent Gibbs)
If you’ve ever walked through the College of Fine Arts plaza on a Tuesday afternoon, then there is a good chance you may have seen students wielding swords. No, they’re not rehearsing a scene from an upcoming William Shakespeare production; they’re actually learning the essentials of professional stage combat. Students typically are paired off and assigned to practice the type of clever, hand-tohand combat that might be seen in the latest Bruce Willis movie. Instructed by veteran fight director, Brent Gibbs, the course helps student performers maintain their safety without sacrificing any of the violent aesthetics.
3. ASTR 333 — Astronomy for the Arts (Instructor: Richard Poss)
For all those stargazers who are deterred by the scientific jargon associated with the study of astronomy, this course may satisfy their curiosity’s craving for the cosmos. Reserved mostly for students majoring in humanities-related studies, this course delves into the long history of man looking up in the sky and interpreting what he sees. Using plays, poetry, books and art as mediums for understanding mankind’s relationship with the universe, the instructor, Richard Poss, said that course looks to examine how astronomy has impacted the way people understand themselves. From the medieval to the modern, the course touches upon almost every era of history. — Follow Kevin Reagan @KevinReaganUA
Over 2,000 civilians in Gaza have died as a result of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, a fact that continues to be ignored, but not for long. Two senior art students at the UA are creating a memorial for the Gaza residents, who have lost their lives during the conflict wreaking havoc on their homeland. For every Gaza civilian death, there will be one white stick standing up in the ground on the UA Mall in front of Old Main. The artists, Braelyn Smith, a photography senior, and Lester Aguirre, a visual communications senior, will be installing the art on Thursday, and it will remain on display for one day only. The idea for the memorial began Layla Nicks/The Daily Wildcat as an art assignment. The artists are both enrolled in James Cook’s Braelyn Smith and Lester Aguirre, UA art students, arrange bundles of sticks in the Art Extended Media: Combining building on Tuesday.
