EDITORIAL

College publications deserve to sit at adults’ table

BY DAILY WILDCAT OPINIONS BOARD @DailyWildcat

A

sk any professional in their field why it is they enjoy doing what they do, and often you’ll receive an answer like the following: “I just found something I love and was lucky enough to make/find a career in that same vein.”

It’s not much different at the Daily Wildcat. Even for those of us who are not journalism majors, the pursuit of truth through inquiry is a shared love of many disciplines; here we get to apply it in realworld situations.

In short, we practice journalism to pursue truth, a labor of love.

But hey, we’re also humans, so we like winning awards, medals and shiny, first-place blue ribbons, too.

To that point, we win and are nominated for our fair share of blue ribbons and medals here at the DW. In fact, last week the Associated Collegiate Press announced the 24 finalists in the 2018 Online Pacemaker Award, and the DW made the list.

“The Pacemaker is the association’s preeminent award and is often called the Pulitzer Prize of collegiate journalism,” said ACP Executive Director Laura Widmer. “ACP is honored to recognize the best of the best.”

This is the DW’s 16th nomination — for both print and online. Last year, in honor of receiving our 15th nomination, we were added to the ACP Hall of Fame, an honor bestowed on fewer than 50 college publications throughout the country.

We, the current staff of the DW, are proud of our accomplishments and even more proud of the

people that came before us, who laid the groundwork for the legacy we carry on today.

But we also feel this is a time to mention another organization, the Arizona Newspapers Association, and its decision to eliminate student newspapers and publications from its end-of-year awards.

This summer, we were notified by the ANA that we would be ineligible to compete in the organization’s annual awards competitions. The reason given was, essentially, that there was no competition.

Here’s what happened: The ANA, in its wisdom, decided college publications shouldn’t be competing against professional publications, most located in smaller towns or rural areas, even though our circulation numbers are similar.

This removal from a category we had competed in for years might have something to do with the fact the DW took home top honors for publications with circulation between 3,500-5,000 during last year’s award ceremony, among other awards.

The Aztec Press, Pima Community College’s newspaper, took home third in the same category and won first place for Best News Coverage as well.

So, the ANA decided to relegate us to the proverbial kid’s table. The group decided to create a category for colleges and universities to compete against each other.

However, for whatever reason, no other college publication, including the Aztec Press, submitted entries by the award’s deadline, leaving the DW as the sole college entrant.

With no competition in the category ANA had pushed us into, it decided to eliminate college entrants entirely.

Ultimately, we as a publication will be fine, and the awards given out will go on. Still, we can’t help but feel sorry for both the organization and the other publications we would potentially have competed against.

For the ANA, we hope that the members who voted to remove us from competing against daily publications will see that this denial hurts the important work of student journalists throughout the state from being recognized by a wider audience, and therefore from making an even bigger difference.

To the publications who we may one day find careers at, we are sorry you won’t be made better by knowing your stories would be held up against the best UA and other colleges and universities have to offer. Competition can only make us both better.

Yes, we do love our profession and our craft.

And no, one less award on the shelf won’t make us any worse as journalists. But it’s important for institutions to acknowledge those who exhibit exceptional work in their field, regardless if it’s from hired professionals or students.

NEWS | RACISM & AWARENESS

Speaker addresses racism on college campuses Lawrence Ross, author, lecturer and member of Alpha Phi Alpha, presented his talk titled “Know Better, Do Better: Campus Racism and You” to a group that included various UA Greek organizations.

Find out what’s behind Ross’ passion on the subject

BY SHARON ESSIEN @SharonshareB

The University of Arizona Fraternity & Sorority Programs invited awardwinning author and lecturer Lawrence Ross to speak on campus about a critical issue that has continued on college campuses: widespread racism.

One of the main organizers of the event was Marcos Guzman, interim assistant director for the Fraternity & Sorority Programs.

“Council leaders attended the Association of Fraternal Leaders and Values Conference and attended Lawrence Ross’ presentation,” Guzman said. “They believed his lecture would make a positive impact within the Greek community and the UA community.”

Ross has given lectures and presentations about campus racism at over 600 colleges around the country.

His interest in addressing racism within different Greek organizations came from Ross’ membership in Alpha Phi Alpha. His work explains the importance of accepting one another, facing the fact that racism still exists and has not gone away over time.

The hour-and-a-half multimedia lecture, “Know Better, Do Better: Campus Racism and You”, showed the audience an array of slides that exemplified how both insidious and overt forms of racism are present on school grounds.

Ross’ novels, “Blackballed: The Black and White Politics of Race on America’s Campuses” and “The Divine Nine: The History of African American Fraternities and Sororities,” showcase his expertise in Greek Life and the issues surrounding campus racism.

Caroline Schwark, the Panhellenic Council president, was on board with inviting Lawrence Ross to campus.

“For all of the amazing work the University of Arizona does to educate students on current social issues and to encourage progression in our campus culture, we don’t often enough look to our past to see how it has influenced our current reality,” Schwark said.

“Our Greek Speak event with speaker Lawrence Ross is an excellent

opportunity to engage in critical thinking about how institutionalized racism has shaped our Greek culture across the United States, and how we here at The University of Arizona have the chance to create a more inclusive environment and a better future for Greek Life.”

The lecture started with Ross reciting a racial chant, which he revealed came from a 2015 viral video featuring members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at the University of Oklahoma.

The video ignited a national discussion relating to modern-day racism on college campuses.

Ross provided an extensive number of examples of racist incidents that occurred on college campuses from the past five years and in the early part of the 20th century. The incidents range from cultural appropriation at parties, images on social media of white students in blackface with racially insensitive captions and offensive stereotypical imagery.

A key statement that Ross made multiple times during the presentation is, “Racism is always connected to violence.” The violence that occurs does not necessarily have to be physical but can be psychological.

Ross later discussed the four areas of campus racism: the “legacy” of segregation and anti-AffirmativeAction laws, Greek Life, campus symbolism and microaggressions.

Ross told the audience that whether the topic relates to racism or anything in life, the goal is to “understand the context of the situation, not just the content.”

The presentation included events like the 1963 incident involving the governor of Alabama at the time, George Wallace, standing at the door of an auditorium, attempting to block the entrance of two black students.

A 2011 incident at Ross’ alma mater the University of California, Berkeley, where baked goods were sold at different costs for different race groups and numerous other similar scenarios that have occurred over the years, were explained throughout the lecture.

Ross reflected on the several universities that he has visited and the impact the students have made on

him. The presentation ended with him showing an image that he took with the students at one of his lectures.

Ending on a somber note, Ross mentions that he found out that something tragic happened to one of the students in the photo.

“I never want to go to another event and find out that someone I took a picture with gets killed because of being a person of color.”

The audience reportedly went completely silent, and the talk finished with applause moments later.

ARTS & LIFE | POETRY STAFF

UA Poetry Center welcomes Literary Director to staff Diana Delgado talked to the Daily Wildcat about integrating into her new role as the Literary Director of the University of Arizona Poetry Center. Delgado works closely with the literary community in Tucson to curate reading lectures at the center

BY SOFIA MORAGA @Sofiamf1

Daily Wildcat: What is the role of a literary director?

Diana Delgado: That is actually a really good question. I think it is somebody who is there to curate the reading and lecture series and really be engaged with the literary community to bring poets to the poetry center, and work that is inspiring across diverse communities. I think that foremost is the main role.

DW: Do you like it so far?

DD: I’ve been here for three months, and I do. I think that it’s a lot of that, and it’s a lot of other things when you’re working closely with the Tucson community.

That’s one of the things that I really learned about Tucson is they have a very strong literary community and that wasn’t something that I had really sort of thought of or presupposed before I got here. So, it’s been really nice to learn that.

DW: With your role as a literary director, what are you most looking forward to this year?

DD: I think probably building the relationships that are needed to do well in the role and getting to know the community. I think that that’s part of the role, and I think that that’s something I’m enjoying about it and like looking forward to … there’s so many literary organizations in Tucson, and there’s so many events that they put on. And I’m learning about it, and it’s actually kind of amazing that there’s so many of these works that are just about bringing writers to Tucson.

DW: Did you got offered this position, or were you looking for positions?

DD: I think one of the reasons that I was interested in applying for the role is because it blended some of my previous experience as an administrator with poetry. I’m a published poet, but I’ve also done a lot of work as an administrator at not-for-profits. Part of the reason why I thought the role was interesting is because Tucson, although it’s small, it has a strong literary community and the other part is because it kind of blended everything that’s from a non-for-profit that I’ve worked with. The role and the center.

DW: You have an upcoming work, it’s called “Tracing the Horse”, can you tell me about that?

DD: Yes! I have a book coming out! It’s coming out in the Fall of 2019.

A lot of it is about my growing up in Southern California. I’m MexicanAmerican, and I grew up kind of caught between both the immigrant culture, as well as my mom was really eager to assimilate, and I think a lot of that is what it means to be Chicana, to be in-between those two different stratums.

COURTESY DIANA DELGADO

DIANA DELGADO HOLDS A B.A. in Poetry from UC Riverside and an MFA in Poetry from Columbia University.

Her poetry has appeared in Ploughshares, Ninth Letter, The North American Review, Prairie Schooner, TriQuarterly and Fourteen Hills.

DW: Have you shown it to different people? How have they reacted?

DD: Oh my god so many, so many. I think I’m somebody who works very well in groups, in a sort of workshop style. So, I have a lot of trusted readers that have taken a look at it over the past few years and they’ve seen it. I think they’ve liked it. They tell me they like it. But I think the real test is like, you know when I felt that I was finished with it, I really felt that I was finished with it, and I felt that it was something I had completed.

DW: You say you have some background in administration, what’s your background with regards to your studies?

DD: I studied poetry both as an undergrad at UC Riverside. I had my degree in poetry there, and then I studied poetry in Columbia University. Then while I was in New York I think the work that I was doing there was very separate from my degree. I worked at the Clinton Foundation, and then I worked in publishing for a while, and then I ended up working at Coalition for Hispanic Family Services, which is a not-for-profit that’s based in Brooklyn, and I was both

doing that and publishing, but it was very separate.

DW: When you say mentor, where there people in your university that you worked closely with?

DD: Yeah, you know I’ve been very blessed with having some really great mentors and some very positive relationships that have really supported not only my work, but my growth as a human being. Maurya Simon, who I studied with at UC Riverside, who will actually be reading at the Poetry Center in I think April of 2019, she’s somebody that really supported my work early on, when I was a younger poet. Maurya Simon, Lorna Dee Cervantes, she was another Chicana poet that I met and she was like, “Come to this workshop!”

She has a workshop in Isla de Mujeres in Mexico. She invited me to that and I studied with her.

DW: Do you work closely with students?

DD: I think the closest that I’ve worked with is the MFA, the creative writing MFA. We have shop talks before a poet actually comes, on a Tuesday night. We offer an opportunity for students in the MFA program to actually host and lead the shop talk about the poet that’s coming.

ARIZONA’S NOT-SO-SECRET SANTA You can always find Arizona student-athletes dressed in team gear on campus and wearing top-of-the-line uniforms on gameday. Brian Brigger helps make all of that possible

BY MARK LAWSON @TheLawson_1

For many kids growing up, the highlight of their year is going to sleep on Christmas Eve to the promise of Santa showing up during the night with their favorite gifts. The moment many of us found out Santa wasn’t real, however, is one you are never really prepared for. For some student-athletes around campus, Santa is, in fact, very real.

While he may lack the white beard and giant belly, the University of Arizona’s assistant director of equipment operations Brian Brigger provides many athletes a Christmas throughout the school year, in the form of team gear.

As the equipment manager on campus, Brigger specializes in working with men’s golf, women’s soccer, men’s tennis and, most notably, the men’s basketball team. He is the man when it comes to making sure uniforms, apparel, shoes and equipment are all taken care of and ready to go, both for practices and games.

“In equipment, there really aren’t ever two of the same days,” Brigger said.

“Fall is when we get a lot of the Nike stuff in, which we then have to number and pass out to the athletes. As the season progresses with practices and games, there tends to be a lot more laundry, also making sure players are comfortable with their equipment.”

Brigger came to Arizona during the 2012-2013 school year, after spending his previous seven seasons at the University of Pittsburgh. His connection to men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller dates back to their time at Xavier, where he was a manager for the Musketeers while pursuing an undergraduate degree.

Upon coming to Arizona, Brigger noticed immediately how much the city embraces Arizona, and how all eyes are on the program.

“This is definitely a college town,” said Brigger. “The fans get behind every team. You see more of a buzz when winning streaks and special things happen than you would in other places.”

Being an equipment manager at a school like Arizona, which is one of Nike’s flagship schools to give equipment to, has many benefits due to the hands-on relationship the company has with the program.

“They forecast everything out far in advance,” said Brigger. “They’ll give us

color options for each sport and we are able to have our say in terms of maybe wanting another color or different design.”

For Brigger, much of what makes the job is the relationship he has with the student-athletes. Supplying gear and equipment to different sports around campus has allowed Brigger the opportunity to befriend many of the studentathletes.

“It makes my day when they get their stuff for the first time,” says Brigger.

“Everybody is very complimentary and overjoyed that they get all this new stuff.”

While Santa may only pass out presents on Christmas, for Brigger, it is a yearround thing whenever a new sport season begins.

Women’s soccer senior midfielder Hailey Mazzola loves the open door policy he has whenever an athlete needs something.

“He’s awesome,” Mazzola said. “We can always go in, and if something doesn’t fit, he’ll have an extra or even just a pair of slides to wear around.”

For Mazzola, it’s also about more than just having something new to wear, it’s being able to show school pride.

“It’s finally being able to rep’ the university and show off all the hard work we’ve put in to be able to represent the school,” the senior said.

One of the most notable aspects of equipment Brigger handles is team shoes, especially for basketball. Brigger has never been into all of the different shoe styles, but seeing the many variations that come in and around the program has opened up his passion for it more and more.

“It was always a comfort thing for me,” says Brigger. “Being here, and the options we have, your eyes open up a little bit more. Getting to know the athletes and what they like and don’t like also makes you want to try different things.”

Brigger is often seen during men’s basketball home games on the UA bench, ready to fix any equipment that malfunctions. He’ll jump up and get excited when there’s a big dunk or a flurry of three-pointers like a member of the team. But his role at Arizona is much more important than that, and it usually happens off camera in the equipment room.

Brigger will reach into his never-ending bag of gear and make sure each Arizona student-athlete is ready for game day.

ARTS & LIFE | STUDENT EXHIBIT

Creating visual conversations around gun violence ‘A Memorial for Past and Potential Gun Violence Victims’ was put together to bring awareness to gun violence in America through art at UA

BY MIA HERRERA @DailyWildcat

Two University of Arizona students aspired to bring the community closer by talking about gun violence through an interactive art exhibit held on campus.

“A Memorial for Past and Potential Gun Victims” was held in the Lionel Rombach Gallery, accross from the Center for Creative Photography, and ran from from Sept. 5 until Sept. 13. The exhibit aimed to bring awareness to the consequences of gun violence in America through art, according to the creators.

Co-curated by Elena Makansi and Martin Krafft, two graduate students in the College of Fine Arts, the exhibit utilized “creative ways to develop empathy and community,” according to Krafft.

The exhibit invited anyone from the community to trace photographs of people who lost their lives to gun violence. Participants had the option to hang their tracings up on a wall in the gallery for other attendees to see.

“The act of using your hands to trace [a victim’s] face is very intimate,” Makansi said. “It helps get people out of their comfort zone and put themselves in that situation.”

Participants were also presented with the option to trace photos of themselves or loved ones and hang those tracings on the wall with the victims. They were then asked to write a reflection on the experience.

According to Makansi, the aim was for participants to gain a “greater understanding  ELENA MAKANSI, to see how they’d feel if it were COCURATOR their family” that experienced a loss due to gun violence.

The exhibit was a continuation of the collaborative, interactive vigil “Who Will Be Next? A Memorial for Victims of the Next Mass Shooting,” a vigil that Snowflakes, the group that Makansi and Krafft founded, held with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and March For Our Lives. “[‘A Memorial for Past and Potential Gun Violence Victims’] is more of a performance piece that acts as a vigil for the victims,” Makansi said.

Another objective behind the exhibit was to make artists and non-artists alike feel welcome at an art gallery, according to Krafft.

“We wanted to challenge the idea of who makes and owns art and invite anyone to come play a role in the work,” Krafft said. “Art is for everybody. We wanted to recognize that non-art people can be apart of something artistic, too.”

Both Krafft and Makansi saw more than 50 people attend each session and said they look forward to continue their work in the arts.

“

The act of using your hands to trace [a victim’s] face is very intimate.”

ASUA notebook: Serving the student body

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

Campus Pantry donations, voter registration and club outreach were on the agenda for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, the university’s student governing body, at its Sept. 12 meeting in the Pima Room of the Student Union Memorial Center.

Campus Pantry Campus Pantry, UA’s campus food bank, provided resources to over 250 students, its highest number to date, during its last distribution, according to Kate Rosenstengel, ASUA’s administrative vice president.

The pantry is now low on some essential resources and has asked ASUA to lead a campaign to collect 200 boxes of cereal by next Friday, Rosenstengel said.

ASUA senators planned to reach out to their college organizations and clubs to help reach this goal.

“I am excited for this initiative. Our goal as college representatives should be to instill a sense of philanthropy in the student body,” said Matthew Rein, executive vice president.

All cereal-box donations dropped off at the ASUA offices will be sent to Campus Pantry next Friday.

ASUA hopes to incorporate pantry donations into the campus culture as well as upcoming events such as Family Weekend.

That is the lesson one Villa del Puente Residence Hall resident learned Aug. 6, when officers arrived at the residence hall at approximately 8:30 p.m. The officers had received reports of a male student entering the hall with a concealed rifle in a case.

UAPD officers had been previously informed of the name and room number of the man. The officers knocked on his door several times and announced themselves.

Voter Registration Anthony Rusk, ASUA government affairs and policy director, asked the senators to help advertise a voterregistration event sponsored by ASUA and the Wildcat Events Board Sept. 25.

“The event will feature a giant mechanical bull wrapped in American flags in order to get people’s attention, and then non-partisan organizations specialized in voter registration will register students to vote,” Rusk said.

It’s important to get students registered so they have a voice on issues that matter to them, Rusk said.

Serving Clubs During their first meeting, the ASUA Appropriations Board awarded five clubs funding for an array of events.

They approved funding for the Marine Awareness and Conservation Society’s event in Flagstaff, Arizona as well as the Miss Native American University of Arizona annual pageant, according to Bennett Adamson, senator for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

This academic year, 212 clubs have officially registered with ASUA, according to Rein. AUSA is now reaching out to clubs who have not fully completed

directed to step outside. He then identified himself as the man the officers were looking for.

The man told the officers that he was storing a gun under his bed. One officer found a shotgun case underneath the bed with the gun inside. Another officer checked the gun, which was empty of any ammunition.

There was a second man in the room, the first man’s roommate and friend since high school. The roommate spoke with the officers, explaining the situation to them.

According to the roommate, the first man had gone dove hunting that morning using the shotgun.

The man usually kept the gun at a family friend’s house. However, that day the family friend had not been able to pick up the gun, so the man brought it back to his room.

The roommate stated that today was the first and only day the shotgun had been in the room.

After speaking with the officer, the roommate called his aunt who lives in Tucson. She agreed to pick up the shotgun and take it back to her residence.

Once she arrived, the officers turned over the shotgun for safekeeping and

their applications to ensure they are recognized and have access to ASUA funding.

New Senators, Supreme Court and Upcoming Events ASUA is in the process of interviewing students to fill their vacant senate positions, according to Rein.

Applications for the vacant positions closed Aug. 28.

ASUA will vote next week on ASUA Supreme Court nominees, as the final committee interviews are concluding, Senator Bennett Adamson said.

Natalynn Masters, ASUA’s president, encouraged senators to take part in the final meetings with UA students for UA’s Strategic Plan as its university-wide committee begins to bring to a close its yearlong process of setting a new direction for the institution.

ASUA plans to highlight or help organize a number of events in the coming months. Adamson spotlighted a lecture and documentary presentation by Josh Tickell entitled “The Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save the World (Before It’s Too Late)” Sept. 24 in ENR2 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. sponsored by his college, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

The ASUA Senate will meet again on Sept 19. at 6 p.m. in the Pima Room of the SUMC. Check back to the Daily Wildcat to stay up-to-date on ASUA.

No criminal charges were filed, but the officers referred both men to the Dean of Students Office.

clean up that mouth UA students should be worrying about tests, not street harassment, but that did not stop two men in a carpet-cleaning van from making inappropriate comments about a female student Sept. 4.

The student went to the UAPD station to report the incident at approximately 11 a.m., when she spoke with an officer.

She told the officer that she was walking to class earlier in the day when a white van with two men inside began following her.

One of the men shouted at her making an inappropriate remark about her body.

The student continued walking. Again she heard one of the men shout at her, this time in Spanish, before the van finally drove away.

As she continued to make her way to class, the student saw the same van parked at the Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall. After her class finished, she went to the police station.

She took pictures of the van before it drove away, which she showed to the officer. The van had the business name of the carpet and tile cleaning business Carpet Magicians on its side. A phone number was also printed on the van.

The student told the officer that she would not be able to identify the men because she did not clearly see their faces. She just wanted to report the incident in case it happened again. The officer provided her with a case number.

The officer then went to Graham-Greenlee but did not see the van anywhere in the area.

He then called the number on the van and spoke with the owner of Carpet Magicians, informing him of the incident.

The owner immediately stated that the incident could not have occurred, as he was the one driving the van that morning and had not been in the area.

After the officer informed the man that the student had taken pictures of the van, the man continued to deny the incident ever occurring. However, he did agree to talk to his employees about inappropriate comments and harassment.

Medical care on the streets Students learn to administer medicine to the homeless population in CHS 334 - Community Health Care.

They learn “street medicine,” or the ability to provide healthcare on the streets

BY QUINCY SINEK @quincymccllelan

JUNIOR CARE, HEALTH AND society student Justin Hale is a certified EMT and checks the blood pressure of Sara, a dehydrated homeless woman who lives downtown.

COURTESY THOMAS HILL

SENIOR MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR biology and biochemistry student Mihir Shah examines multiple abscesses on the arm of Apache, a homeless woman who was then immediately transported to the hospital.

“Street medicine,” or the ability to provide health care directly to the homeless population on the streets, is a key focus for students in CHS 334 - Community Health Care.

“This class is supposed to show people that there are very specific things you need to understand about dealing with the homeless or refugees,” said Tom Hill, the instructor of the course.

Some members of the homeless population that Hill works closely with talk to him and create videos about their experiences in hospitals and everyday life, which are shown to the students in class.

Stories detail drug addictions, getting kicked out of hospitals or getting in fights out on the streets.

Hill uses the stories to teach students how to react to these situations and to deal with them in the proper way.

“The majority of the good information in the class are the videos from the homeless; they get to explain what it’s like out there.

I’m not the expert. The people who are the experts are the homeless,” said Hill.

This semester is the first time the course is being taught on campus.

Terrence Hill, a professor within the UA Department of Sociology, heard about the idea of street medicine and reached out to Tom Hill about potentially teaching a class.

Tom Hill and his wife Emmeline have been working with the homeless for the past 20 years and have gained experience in dealing with their specific needs. They wanted to be able to share that knowledge with up-and-coming medical professionals.

The course itself was 10 years in the making, and was previously taught to nurses and physicians but is now adapted into a college course.

“The homeless are a population

that are often dehumanized and highly underserved,” said Terrence Hill. “This program is an opportunity to shape future health care providers’ preconceptions about the homeless.”

A big part of the course is showing the students that the homeless population is composed of real people with real struggles.

In the most recent class, students learned about self-defense and mass casualty assessments. The class discussed topics such as domestic abuse, fighting and difficult patients in the homeless community, while a PowerPoint at the front of the classroom displayed the phrase “The world of the homeless is … violent.”

There was also an in-class simulation, in which students had to react to a ‘mass casualty’ and test their knowledge. Two students were secretly chosen to be the ‘killers’ and fake-stabbed lots of the other unsuspecting students.

The unharmed students then had to practice addressing wounds, dealing with scared and difficult patients and applying pressure and gauze to an open wound.

They also learned to use a tourniquet — or create a makeshift tourniquet out of any supplies they could find — for more serious wounds.

Megan Rumble, a sophomore enrolled in the course, said, “This is stuff you don’t get to learn until you’re in medical school, but it has real-life application. It opens up your eyes to how much help you can be without having a ton of experience yet.”

Three weeks in, the course’s enrollment is maxed out, and not a single student has dropped or withdrawn from it. Tom Hill says he hopes to continue to teach this course at UA for as long as he can.

The FDA will line its pockets by taking the JUUL from yours

hances are you have seen them scattered on the floor more frequently than cigarette butts in recent times. You’ll see someone pull the small device out of their pocket and return it just as quickly. You probably know someone who uses one on a dayto-day basis; chances are you use one on a day-to-day basis. JUUL controls about 70 percent of the e-cigarette market, according to Nielsen data, and is now worth around $16 billion according to Bloomberg. Like any other thriving company, the government wants to sink its claws into the business and either destroy it or extort what it believes to be its fair share. This action, of course, must be disguised as care for its citizens to justify any interference in a company’s operations in the so-called “free market.”

FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb reneged on the deal the FDA had with e-cigarette manufacturers last summer, which gave manufacturers until 2022 to comply with strict federal guidelines. Gottlieb said JUUL and four other manufacturers must halt sales of their products to minors within 60 days or face penalties. The penalties may include the banning of flavored e-liquids — such as JUUL’s mango flavor — which Gottlieb claims are marketed directly towards a younger audience.

When Gottlieb first turned the spotlight on JUUL, JUUL responded promptly. It began by changing its ads to feature models that are 35 years old and older. The ads containing younger models on Instagram and other social media platforms were removed. JUUL also plans to spend $30 million over the next three years to educate teens about the harms of nicotine and vaping. After all of these precautions taken, Gottlieb still is not convinced. He even has gone after other companies, including 7-Eleven, for allegedly selling e-cigs to underage teens.

If JUUL were to fail to jump through the hoops placed in front of it by Gottlieb

and it was forced to remove flavors from shelves, what would this mean for teen vaping? Nicotine is addictive and, more likely than not, these kids came for the flavor but will stay for the sweet nicotine hit. With JUUL off the market, these teens would continue to buy JUUL pods; if they are inventive, they may try to add their own flavoring, which has the potential to be harmful. Teens may even switch to cigarettes if they find themselves unsatisfied with flavourless vapor, feeding the bigger-pocketed tobacco giants, who have enough money to lobby to keep themselves on the market.

Gottlieb hopes to lower the nicotine levels in traditional cigarettes as well.

He believes this genetic altering of a plant will make them less addictive.

Do not let yourself get tricked into believing this farce. Anyone with half a functioning brain will realize those hooked on nicotine will simply buy themselves broke to get their fix.

Nicotine is a drug, and we have all seen or known someone personally who has played the same part, except with alcohol and opioids. The tobacco companies and the governments want this alteration to happen. People will buy more, meaning more tax dollars will be funneled into the machine.

JUUL is simply a company that made too much money too fast; it has challenged the tobacco industry and forgotten to invest in the capital of political favors. Yes, vaping is unhealthy, but it is not the worst thing teens are doing to themselves. Vaping does not come with the possibility of instant death due to over-consumption. Teens have died from drinking too much, but the FDA does not go after alcohol companies for putting out drinks with flavors that appeal to a younger demographic, such as Mike’s HARDER. Why not? Is it because prohibition didn’t work out, and it would look kind of embarrassing to go for round two?

Or are the alcohol companies simply shelling out more than JUUL? The government does not ban products to protect you. It bans in favor of its own interests.

NEWS | GENERAL EDUCATION

Mushrooms, zombies and sex oh my!

Selecting your college courses can be a stressful process. How do you know if a class is going to be fun or a boring lecture that puts you sleep? The University of Arizona has some pretty unique and exciting classes, but lots of them go unnoticed by students. After talking to students, teachers and preceptors, we have compiled a list of some of the more interesting classes that UA has to offer 1. PAH 150A - Video Game Sights, Sounds and Stories This course includes weekly assignments of playing video games and analyzing them, the homework that some students dream of.

“We have a video game of the week and write a reflection on how it impacts society,” said Amanda Lewis, sophomore and current student in the course.

The course is aimed at helping students learn to critically analyze the social impact of video games in our culture and how developers create the game content.

6. HPS 330 - Human Sexuality “This class covers modern topics like prostitution, abortion and pornography,” said Lily Katz, a junior currently enrolled in the course.

Students have to sign a consent form at the beginning of the semester because a few documentaries and X-rated clips are shown in class. The films are shown to promote positive views of the human anatomy and genitalia and to inform students about topics that are normally seen as “taboo” and not usually discussed.

2. GEOS 216 - Dinosaurs Taught by Dr. Ji Yeon Shin, this science class on dinosaurs combines learning and fun and is made for those who love dinosaur bones or Jurassic World.

To keep the class of 318 students interested, the professor shows clips from dinosaur movies, uses fun pictures and graphics and does in-class activities with the students.

Mat Schildt, an undergraduate preceptor for GEOS 216, who also took the course last spring, said, “it was one of the most entertaining classes I took last year.”

7. HUMS 150B - Mind-Altering Substances in the Ancient World This course on ancient use of mind-altering substances teaches students about the uses of drugs in the past, different types of drugs and all the ways that people altered their minds. It also taught students about people who used drugs for religious purposes or to contact spirits.

“It related history to actual substances that were used as drugs … It was a really cool class,” said sophomore Emily Morris, who took the course online over the summer.

3. GER 160 - From Animation to Zombies This course takes a look at zombies and what makes them alive.

“It’s all about what we can classify as living beings … Zombies, are they consciously aware that they’re zombies? The root of zombies, the origin and what it means to be a zombie. It was really interesting,” said sophomore Julia Hoofnagle, who took the class last spring.

Students learn about what being alive and consciously aware really means. The class also covers artificial intelligence, plants and technology.

4. PLP 150C - Mushrooms, Molds and Man This popular class teaches students about fungi in the real world: their uses, where they’re found and everything in between.

“You learn about fungi in medicine, in food and drinks, and how to hunt fungi. At the end of the year you get to do a fungalrelated art project. There were lots of opportunities to be creative throughout the class,” said Leah Bondar, who took the course online last spring.

The teacher hosts “Fungapalooza” at the end of the year, where students can come look at each other’s art projects, eat food, talk to the professor and hang out.

5. ACBS 102L - Introduction to Animal Sciences Laboratory Students that want hands-on experience dealing with animals can take this course where, instead of a traditional lab, they travel to a farm. The students recently practiced performing artificial insemination on a sheep.

Skylar Henry, a junior currently in the class, said, “We work with cows, sheep, horses and all kinds of animals. There’s an in-class lecture, but we drive to the farms instead of going to an actual lab once a week.”

8. GER 273 - Wicked Tales and Strange Encounters: German Romanticism and Beyond Fairy tales and myths are discussed and analyzed in this class.

Students get to learn about the fairy tales that were popular when they were kids and discuss the real meanings behind the stories.

“You also learn about German fairy tales that are somewhat obscure, have interesting morals or are really cute and beautiful,” said Natalie Ross, a junior who took the course last year.

The class does weekly discussion posts where they get to share their thoughts about the fairy tales and talk about if they enjoyed it or what they may not have liked.

9. GER 160D - Eroticism and Love in the Middle Ages In this class, students learn about how sex was viewed and portrayed in the Middle Ages. The stories that are covered in the class are the only way that historians know people had sex back then, because it was a very scandalous subject to discuss.

Students get to read funny and obscure stories about sex.

They also learn about the culture of sex during that time and how eroticism was viewed. The course is discussion based, and graphic, medieval stories are analyzed by students.

10. TAR 160D - Popular Entertainment Discussing films, TV shows and musicals is part of what students get to do in this course. It teaches students what makes things popular, and they view popular events as cultural events.

Last fall, students attended All Souls Procession in Tucson where they took observed the festival and learned about the holiday. They took notes on the event and discussed the entertainment aspect of it.

OPINIONS | ISSUE OF THE WEEK

Can 6.5 inches of display be sexist?

Apple’s bigger-screen iPhones are being slammed by some for being ‘too big’ for women’s hands.

Find out what our columnists think about the Daily Wildcat’s Issue of the Week

By Madeleine Viceconte:

Every year when September rolls around, the promise of the release of a new iPhone model tantalizes and excites Apple’s biggest fans. However, once this latest technology is revealed, there is indubitably something that upsets a portion of consumers, who waste no time before voicing their opinion on the internet. This year, the most controversial and outrageous complaint is that the new iPhone is sexist, because it is too large to fit in women’s tiny, dainty hands.

First, the women who are complaining about this are clearly extremely privileged and should be thankful that they even have a socioeconomic status that allows them to afford Apple products in the first place.

Second, they should not be making the size of a phone solely a women’s issue when it is a problem that could potentially apply to all types of people. All they are doing is blurring the lines of the definition of feminism and discrediting work that real, inter-sectional feminists have been doing these past few years to bring light to the struggles of underprivileged women.

On the other hand, the malcontents might just be on to something. Women, especially women of color, are underrepresented in the tech industry. Perhaps if there were more women, who designed and engineered phones, the issue of size would have been acknowledged beforehand. Regardless, focusing on the size of one model of a phone is trivial compared to the larger issue of inadequate representation in an industry where women make up at least half of consumers.

By Chuck Valadez:

“I’m not saying Apple is being evil and deliberately setting out to design phones that injure women by being too big for the average female hand, but that doesn’t mean it’s ok”.

This was said by feminist activist Caroline Criado-Perez, a woman who has claimed an iPhone model with a 5.5 inch screen has caused repetitive strain injury. Criado-Perez is not the only woman who thinks this way, there are entire groups of women claiming Apple’s new designs are catered to men. This is in response to Apple’s new iPhone X and X Max having 5.8 inch and 6.5 inch screens respectively. Apple also announced they are discontinuing the iPhone SE with a 4 inch screen.

To me, this shows the days of “We Can Do It” posters and mentalities are long gone. Women had to fight to get where they are today in the western world, and now it seems as if they have nothing of value to fight for. Claiming a phone company is sexist because your wrist is incapable of handling a 5.5-inch device? Not only does this make you look relatively weak, but it demonstrates you are unaware of the plethora of delicate men in modern times. Apple is not being sexist, not at all. Apple is discriminating to those slight of frame. Equality is far from achieved for women worldwide, but western women need to fight for causes that can be simply solved by forgoing the latest piece of technology until a smaller model inevitably comes out.

By Toni Marcheva:

I feel about as targeted by large iPhones as I do by a slice of pizza that’s too big for me to finish.

However, though there’s no sexism here, I do see a problem. Increasingly, I see that consumers are stuck with phones they would not choose for themselves. For example, Apple upgrades their perfectly content customers out of their iPhone 4. Also, large phone companies like Apple make life difficult for consumers (like me) who like simple phones. After the iPhone 5 came out, many of us began receiving encrypted text messages, forcing people to upgrade into something they never wanted. And again, when Apple updates their customers out of their small phones, they will either have to choose a large device they may not want, or switch companies (which, of course, means switching operating systems). Why can’t companies just give customers what they want, or let them keep what they have? That’s the real injustice here.

By Finley Dutton-Reid (Guest Columnist):

When I first saw this question, I laughed. The image of an animated iPhone X with a glowing smile and accusatory eyes chastising a woman for being slutty was just too much.

However, after considering the issue in more depth, I was sobered by a frank disappointment. The fact that such a question would even appear on the New York Post exposes a serious strategic failure of the modern feminist movement.

Rather than interrogating the underlying reasons for the iPhone’s discrepancy in performance for men and women, these feminists have chosen the reactionary assumption of Apple’s culpability. Such an extreme claim chains them to an increasingly apt caricature; a rich woman complaining about how her smaller hands won’t accommodate the size of this thousand-dollar phone.

Nuanced and evidence-based critiques carry a shield from character that sweeping accusations never will.

One should question the differential in the inclusion of the sexes for product studies instead. After all, wouldn’t that have a better chance of actually solving the problem than complaining on Twitter?

Reducing stress one student at a time

BY JAMIE DONNELLY @JamieRisa11

Stressbusters, a group of University of Arizona student volunteers that has been eliminating students’ anxieties since 2013, is expanding its team for the new school year.

The nationwide program, created by Jordan Friedman at Columbia University, serves as an outlet for students to relax and unwind by receiving a 5-to-10-minute back rub from the student volunteers. They are taught how to calm students down in a positive way, fulfilling the Stressbusters’ mission.

“The main goal of Stressbusters is to help people relax in a healthy way,” said Lee Ann Hamilton, the assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services at UA. Becoming a Stressbusters volunteer allows students to learn all about different types of ways to reduce stress. Aside from learning those techniques, the volunteers are also able to work on improving their communication skills among their peers, according to Hamilton.

“Students benefit from becoming a Stressbusters volunteer by learning how to effectively manage stress, but most importantly, volunteers get to enjoy making someone’s day,” Hamilton said.

A typical day for a Stressbusters volunteer includes participating in a Stressbusters event, which lasts for one hour, and then giving multiple students a stressreducing back rub for 5 to 10 minutes. “A crucial role in a

COURTESY LEE ANN HAMILTON

TRAINED VOLUNTEERS FOR UA Stressbusters provide free, five-minute back rubs and wellness info to students and staff at campus events, residence halls, meetings and wherever else the “stressed” are gathered.

Stressbuster’s job is to enliven the student’s day by removing any stress or anxiety the student faces,” Hamilton said.

“As a second-year Stressbuster, I have witnessed the satisfaction a person expresses when we relieve them from stress,” said Ryan Gonzales, a sophomore pre-physiology and East-Asian studies major at UA. “With every tense

muscle and with each heavy breath, we are supporting the students both physically and mentally.”

Once a student becomes a volunteer, they are required to attend at least five Stressbusters events per semester, which usually take place in the Main Library. According to Hamilton, students must also attend a training to learn how to give a successful back rub and students looking to volunteer must be comfortable providing back rubs to people they are not familiar with.

At the Stressbusters training, students are taught the history of the program and participate in a Skype chat with Friedman himself. Hamilton said that students also learn about what happens with touch, what feels good and what areas must be avoided in the back rub.

They will demonstrate how to properly give a back rub, then students will practice those techniques by going out to a Stressbusters event right after training. The training shows future volunteers how to greet students and how to make it the best experience possible for them.

“We all share a lot of laughs during the five-hour training,” said Hamilton.

If you are interested in a volunteer position with Stressbusters, visit their website. You will be required to have a brief interview and attend the Stressbusters training Sept.

27. Stressbusters will be taking in applications until Sept. 19.

“You can be that support that the University of Arizona needs,” Gonzales said.

JACE WHITAKER 17 TACKLES receiver Judd Cockett (80) from Southern Utah, preventing him from making a catch on Saturday, Sept. 15 at Arizona Stadium. Arizona beat SU 62-31, earning Kevin Sumlin’s first win as head coach of the Wildcats.

ARIZONA’S DEFENSE: BORDERLINE OFFENSIVE ANALYSIS

BY DAVID SKINNER @DavidWSkinner_

W

hat was supposed to be a cake-walk game that got Kevin Sumlin and Arizona back on track did not go according to the script on Saturday night in Arizona Stadium, as the Thunderbirds of Southern Utah University put a scare into Arizona and the fans in attendance.

The visitors from Southern Utah didn’t get the memo that they were supposed to be the pushover that got the Wildcats’ confidence back heading into Pac-12 play next weekend.

Instead, the Thunderbirds spent the first half of the game going toe-to-toe with Arizona, trading punch for punch as they found themselves only down a touchdown as the teams walked into their locker rooms at halftime.

Khalil Tate and the offense spent just under five minutes on the field in the first half, as the defense struggled repeatedly to put the Football Championship Subdivision program away on third down.

They allowed the Thunderbirds to convert on 50 percent of their conversions in the first two quarters, keeping the already skeleton crew out on the field for a little over 22 minutes in the first half.

This left virtually no time for rest or to regroup as a unit and tweak or correct the issues that were clearly plaguing the Wildcat defense early in the game.

“We’ve got to get off the field on third down on defense,” said Arizona head coach Kevin Sumlin. “We got our first sack and our first turnover tonight ... tonight is a glass half full night.”

Even with the Wildcats registered their first two sacks of the year, showing signs of life, the exhausted defense still walked back into the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility with more questions than answers for the third-straight week.

“We played a lot of guys,” said Sumlin. “It’s a weird game in the fact that they were on the field the whole night. I was just looking at the drive charts and I’ve never seen a drive chart like that.The longest time we had the ball the whole time was two minutes, and we didn’t punt. So that puts a lot of pressure on your defense.”

The 20-minute halftime break was all defensive coordinator Marcel Yates needed to get his group coached up, as the Wildcats looked like a completely different unit in the second half, allowing only three total yards during a stretch where Arizona scored 17 unanswered points, effectively putting the game out of reach within the first seven minutes of the 3rd quarter and putting to bed any kind of upset ideas the Thunderbirds had been thinking about during the first half of the game.

Luckily for Yates and his defense, Arizona’s offense is led by Tate, who has at times, and will continue to, overshadow the anemic defensive display by continuing to bail out his defensive contemporaries by putting up points with ease.

But tonight was different, and should be treated differently.

This wasn’t USC, Oregon, Stanford or Washington.

This was Southern Utah. Most likely the third or fourth best team in the state of Utah, and a growing program, but an opponent that should have been taken care of handedly and without issue. And yet, the Wildcats struggled mightily against Southern Utah for an entire half of football. Not exactly the sign of confidence Arizona fans were searching for before conference play.

For a unit that gave up around 35 points an outing last year, the signs that Arizona’s defense has displayed over the first 12 quarters of the season are not encouraging; especially under a coach that was in charge of the same defense last year and is now coaching players that he personally recruited over the last couple of classes.

The signs of improvement in this Wildcat defense from last year to this year are minimal if anything at all, which should be the biggest worry for Arizona so far in the early part of the season.

And, for a program like Arizona, player development and growth from year to year is the only way that the Wildcats will have any chance of competing with the Pac-12 elite during Sumlin’s time in Tucson.

Arizona currently doesn’t have the facilities, history or culture that attracts elite talent that can step in right away and make a difference. That’s nothing against the Wildcats, that is just where the program is at right now.

But the problem isn’t the lack of the things mentioned above, the developmental growth isn’t taking place on a collective level on the defensive side of the ball, and if the Wildcats want to make the next step as a serious program, they need to start developing the people they have in the building, not planning out what kind of building needs to be developed next.

SPORTS | FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Four Point Stance: Wildcats finally find first gear

BY ROB KLEIFIELD @RobKleifield

Arizona notched its first win of the Kevin Sumlin era at Arizona Stadium on Saturday night versus the defending Big Sky champions, Southern Utah Thunderbirds.

The Wildcats were far from perfect in their 62-31 blowout win, but managed to make enough plays on offense and in the return game to ensure they wouldn’t fall to 0-3.

Here are some headlines from the game worthy of noting, as well as several points that could determine the trajectory of the remainder of Sumlin’s inaugural campaign.

THE RETURN OF THE FRIEKH Left tackle Layth Friekh returned to the starting lineup for the first time this season and his presence was immediately felt. The fifth-year senior, who served a two-game suspension after earning an extra year of eligibility this offseason, was instrumental to Arizona’s first victory.

“I just tried to pick up where I left off last year,” Friekh said.

He did just that, keeping quarterback Khalil Tate clean for the entire game and serving as the anchor of an offensive line that paved the way to 268 rushing yards.

His leadership among a unit that’s still without veteran center Nathan Eldridge proved to be a catalyst for the Wildcats offense. Arizona displayed its best offensive performance of the season on Saturday night, and it was partly because of Friekh’s return.

TIMELY TATE Khalil Tate didn’t have much time to operate the offense in the first half, as Arizona’s defense struggled mightily to get off of the field.

He did, however, make the most of his opportunities all night long. The junior signal-caller, who garnered Heisman hype this offseason, put together his best performance of the season. Surprisingly, his success was predominantly achieved through the air.

Tate completed 7 of just 12 pass attempts in the first half, but managed to find his two favorite targets, Tony Ellison and Shun Brown, for a pair of touchdowns. With more opportunities presented after halftime, Tate compiled his best passing stat-line of his promising, young career.

Arizona’s offense struck quickly at the

start of the third quarter, capitalizing a five-play, 67-yard scoring drive with another passing touchdown from Tate to redshirt junior receiver Cedric Peterson.

Aided by what felt like a dozen stalled Southern Utah drives, Tate continued to look deep and continued to find the end zone. Brown and Shawn Poindexter were the beneficiaries of two more Tate touchdowns as the game started to get out of hand.

Tate may not have got his motor going on the ground, but he certainly took what the defense was giving him tonight. In the end, the Wildcats star finished 13 of 20 for 349-yards and five touchdowns.

According to Tate, he’s always “just one play away” from finding the open man and making defenses pay.

SCOOP ‘N SCORE Arizona running back J.J. Taylor corralled a Southern Utah kickoff and raced 84-yards to pay dirt at the start of the second quarter. An attempted squib quick down the middle of the field resulted in the elusive ball carrier leaving defenders in his tracks down the Wildcats sideline, giving new meaning to the term ‘scoop ‘n score.’

Taylor’s house call was the perfect blend of motivation and redemption after coughing up the football just outside of the Thunderbirds red-zone earlier in the contest. It also set the tone for the remainder of the game, as Taylor settled into his role in Arizona’s backfield en route to rushing for 54 yards on eight carries.

BEND BUT DON’T BREAK Arizona fared much better in the second half, allowing just 14 points, but there are still a lot of concerns.

The Wildcats surrendered 242 total yards to the Thunderbirds in the first half, and if it weren’t for a series of unlucky drops early in the third quarter, Southern Utah’s passing game may have ran rampant for the entire game.

Thunderbirds quarterback Chris Helbig had his way with Arizona’s secondary for the majority of the contest.

Despite being Southern Utah’s most efficient player coming into the game, Arizona’s defenders didn’t seem to have any idea what to expect from Helbig.

Even if Marcel Yates didn’t have his defense up to speed ahead of the game, halftime would have proved to be a viable place to make changes and elicit better execution from his players.

Arizona was able to register its first sack and takeaway on Saturday, which is something that the unit can build upon going forward, but if UA’s defense

struggles to get off the field once again versus Oregon State next week, they will continue to hinder this team’s overall success.
