Sexual assault a problem at UA

BY MEGHAN FERNANDEZ The Daily Wildcat

An $85,000 survey conducted by the UA in spring 2015 revealed that a significant percentage of respondents have been sexually assaulted or have witnessed situations that could have led to sexual assault without acting.

During a press briefing Monday morning, Melissa Vito, senior vice president for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and vice provost for Academic Initiatives and Student Success, went through the results of the campus climate survey that UA students took in April.

According to the UA press briefing, 2,852 students participated in the survey—an 8 percent response rate.

Of those respondents, 13 percent said they have experienced sexual assault and misconduct.

There was a higher incident of sexual assault and misconduct experienced by non-heterosexual students and students with disabilities—22 percent and 21 percent respectively reported to the survey.

The survey found 45 percent of respondents “witnessed a drunk person heading for a sexual encounter,” and of that 45 percent,

77 percent did not act on the situation.

For the 22 percent of respondents who “witnessed someone acting in a sexually violent or harassing manner,” 43 percent took action in comparison to the 58 percent who did nothing.

According to the survey results, UA students, for the most part, also indicated a strong knowledge of campus resources for sexual assault. However, only 28 percent of respondents knew what happens when a student reports a sexual assault.

The Association of American Universities, which conducted the survey, aims to collect data on students’ experiences with sexual assault and misconduct. The AAU is comprised of 62 institutions, and of those, 26 and one nonAAU institution participated in the survey.

The UA’s goals were to assess students’ sexual assault and misconduct encounters, knowledge of campus resources in addressing campus sexual assault and students’ views on sexual assault.

Vito said the reason the response rate to the survey was low was because of when the survey was conducted, which the UA had

E H T N E H W

no control over. The AAU had determined the time frame in which the survey was completed, from April 2-23, 2015.

“We had no flexibility in when the survey was conducted,” Vito said.

Vito stressed that one of the findings of the survey was that UA students, for the most part, are confident UA officials will take reports of sexual assault and misconduct seriously.

According to the press briefing document, 62 percent of students who took the survey think UA officials will take reporting extremely or very seriously, while 49 percent think UA officials will conduct a fair investigation.

UA President Ann Weaver Hart sent out an email that included the primary findings from the survey to the campus community Monday morning.

“We all must commit to doing everything we can to prevent sexual assault and the damage and destruction it causes to our students, faculty, staff and the broader Wildcat community,” Hart stated in the email.

Krista Millay, program director for the Women’s Resource Center, said the UA has used this survey to work on future initiatives to further

combat sexual assault.

“Part of the most exciting thing for us with this survey is where we can go and what we can do, and so some our future initiatives [are] with a curriculum development through a grant from Arizona Department of Health Services to develop a program for all incoming Wildcats starting fall 2016,” Millay said.

The program Millay refers to is peer-to-peer sexual assault education, according to the press briefing.

UA student sues university

Zi Yang Lai/The Daily Wildcat

Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium under street lights on Tuesday, Sept. 15. A UA student is suing the university after a meteorite at Flandrau fell and crushed his hand.

A UA student is suing the university after interacting with a meteorite at the Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium that crushed his hand BY sam gross

The Daily Wildcat

A UA student is suing the university after a meteorite fell on his hand while he was completing community service at Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium.

According to a Sept. 8 complaint filed with the Pima County Superior Court, Grant Black, a freshman at the time, was awaiting direction between tasks when the 270-pound Canyon Diablo meteorite fell and crushed his hand in November 2014.

The meteorite displayed at Flandrau is a fragment of a larger meteor that created the Barringer Crater east of Flagstaff, and has been on display at the UA for a number of years.

The complaint states that while the students completing community service were between tasks and awaiting direction,

one of the students attempted to move the meteorite.

While the meteorite did not fall on this student, the complaint continues, Black also “attempted to touch, and/or otherwise foreseeably interact with the Canyon Diablo meteorite” later in the day, and caused it to fall.

Both Black and Flandrau staff declined to comment on the case, but a Flandrau employee stated that the University of Arizona Police Department and the dean of students defer a large majority of community service work to the planetarium.

Notably, the meteorite was also accompanied by a sign, which, in bold orange print, read, “Please Touch.”

The primary argument against the university regards the display in which the meteorite was held, which consists of

three metal poles. The tripod-like stand originally had black steel disks fixed to the bottom to ensure its stability.

In the months preceding Black’s accident, the UA had loaned the meteorite to Science Downtown’s exhibition in downtown Tucson. The exhibit, titled “Mars and Beyond: The Search for Life on Other Planets,” had the stabilizing discs removed from the meteorite’s display for unknown reasons.

Upon the exhibit’s return to the university, the discs were never reattached to the display stand. The meteorite was instead placed back into Flandrau’s collection without the added stability.

According to the complaint, “This modification [to the display stand] made the Canyon Diablo meteorite display unstable and unreasonably dangerous.”

The civil suit cites negligence and

premises liability on behalf of the university for not addressing the issue: “At all times relevant to this action, Defendants, all of them, owed members of the public who would foreseeably interact with the Canyon Diablo Meteorite display, including Grant Black, a duty to exercise due care in the conception, display, signing and maintenance of the Canyon Diablo Meteorite display. … At all times relevant to this action, Defendants, all of them, failed to meet this obligation to act reasonably.”

The university’s legal department declined to comment, citing policies against discussing ongoing cases.

POLICE BEAT G a m e

BY MEGHAN FERNANDEZ The Daily Wildcat

Risky business A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Likins Residence Hall regarding a reported fight in the lobby. After arriving, the officer was informed by a resident assistant that there was no fight.

The RA led the officer to a female student with smudged eyeliner on her face struggling to maintain her balance. She and two other female students were wearing shorts and button-up shirts.

The officer observed that she had red, watery eyes and smelled of alcohol. The officer asked her for her age, and, at first, she said she was 21.

The officer later found out she was underage.

The officer called for emergency medical services to evaluate the student and the two other female students, who did not show signs of intoxication.

The officer asked one of the other students where they went out, and she said that she didn’t go out with the other two girls but was their designated driver. The other student told the officer they had gone to the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

The officer later observed that several female individuals who were also wearing shorts and button-up shirts were coming in and out of the Sigma Chi fraternity house.

After University Emergency Medical Services finished evaluating the underage female student, the officer informed her that she would be sent to the UA diversion program and referred to the dean of students.

Man down A UAPD officer responded to a report of a male student who was unconscious on the loading ramp at the Modern Languages building.

After the UAPD officer arrived at the scene, he could smell alcohol on the individual.

The individual eventually gained consciousness and told the officer his name and date of birth, but after doing a records check, the officer found that a person with that name did not exist.

Tucson Fire Department arrived and evaluated the individual, and the responding officer and another officer escorted the individual back to his residence hall.

One of the officers asked to search the student’s pocket for a key, and the student agreed. The other officer saw a wallet in the student’s pocket and asked the student if he could take a look at it, and the student agreed again.

The officer found the student’s CatCard in his wallet in addition to a fake ID with the same name that was on the CatCard.

The student told the officer he drank alcohol at a party and that he purchased his fake ID online.

The student was sent to the dean of students for a minor in possession and was also issued a Code of Conduct violation for the fake ID.

Hispanic Heritage Month starts at UA BY michelle jaquette

Body Smart Discussion: SELF-VALIDATION – AN OLYMPIAN’S JOURNEY with Lacey (Nymeyer) John, 2008 Olympics Silver Medalist. Wednesday, 9/30 @ 5-6:15pm at UA Campus Health. (3rd Floor, SW corner, Room B307) FREE! Snacks provided. Call (520) 621-4550 for more info.

Protein Shakedown Do you really need that protein shake after your workout? Probably not.

Research shows consuming ~ 20 g of protein as part of a meal or snack every three to four hours is more effective then consuming one large dose after your workout to generate new muscle fibers.

There’s no doubt protein is an important part of the recovery process after an intense workout, but if you’re an average gym-goer who exercises for an hour or so a few days a week, that protein shake isn’t going to do whole lot for you. In fact, drinking a protein shake may cause you to take in more energy than your body needs, storing it as fat, and defeating your overall efforts. Instead, active gym-goers should eat protein-rich meals and snacks throughout the day.

Examples of protein-rich meals and snacks: • Two eggs and oatmeal made with milk, or try the Protein Packed Pancakes recipe to the right (good anytime!)

• Grilled chicken with vegetables and rice • Black beans, salsa and low-fat cheese wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla • Snacks: Greek yogurt, string cheese, edamame, peanut butter, almonds

Bottom line: If you’re looking for convenience, protein shakes can be a good option, but they certainly aren’t magical.

Consume high-quality protein throughout the day, not just after your workout!

Recipe: Protein Packed Pancakes Preparation Time: 10 minutes Recipe Makes: 4 pancakes Serving Size: 2 pancakes Ingredients: 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese 1 tsp vanilla extract 4 egg whites Cooking Spray Steps: 1.Separate egg yolks from egg whites.

Add egg whites to blender.

2.Add oatmeal, cottage cheese and vanilla to blender and blend.

3.Spray Skillet with cooking spray and heat pan. Pour a little less than ¼ cup into the pan for each pancake and cook until brown on one side. Flip and cook the other side until brown.

Hispanic Heritage Month will bring famous Chicano cartoon artist Lalo Alcaraz to the UA to talk about his collaboration with Seth MacFarlane on the new show “Bordertown.”

Alcaraz will be in the Cesar E. Chavez building in Room 109 from 12:30-1:45 p.m.

Thursday to discuss the show and answer questions.

Monica Contreras, a Mexican-American studies senior who is involved in Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán—a student organization promoting higher education— said she is excited, but also concerned about the creation of a Chicano satire.

“When I saw the preview, I was a little bit hesitant about it, like, ‘Hmm. … I don’t know how I feel about it.’ But I think [Alcaraz is] kind of playing on this stereotype in the media regarding migrant communities and Latinos in the U.S.,” Contreras said.

In the preview of “Bordertown” released

by Fox, a Chicano is racially profiled by a police officer and then arbitrarily shot over the Mexican border in an American flag cannon.

The preview leaves no doubt that MacFarlane intends to continue the tradition of “Family Guy” and leave out no race, gender or ethnic group. All topics dubbed politically incorrect are fair game.

However, according to a Washington Post interview with Alcaraz, the show has a diverse writing staff, and four of the writers on the team are Mexican-American.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than half of U.S. children will be part of a minority by 2020, and by 2044, Caucasians will be a minority.

“It’s definitely a conversation to have, and I think art really provides that forum to create dialogue and do it in a different way.

So yeah, I think it will be really interesting to see,” Contreras said.

Alcaraz will also be speaking at Tucson’s YWCA on Bonita Avenue at 7 p.m. Thursday.

The event is free, but attendees must register at YWCATucson.org.

The Adalberto & Ana Guerrero Student Center will screen the movie “Underwater Dreams” from noon to 1:30 p.m. in Cesar E. Chavez Room 211 on Oct. 15. The movie is about how a team of high school underdogs, who are the sons of undocumented Mexican immigrants, built a robot that went on to defeat MIT in a robotics competition.

Itzayana Leyva, a student worker at the Guerrero Student Center and a junior studying care, health and society, believes this is an important month.

“It’s not just limited to Hispanic students, and that’s what most people think—that only a certain group of people can go to the certain cultural centers around the university,” Leyva said. “So I think it’s pretty cool that other people from other cultures and backgrounds get to come and see what we have to show and offer because we have a lot of speakers coming down and a lot of artists and a lot of professors come and talk also.”

Anthropology school gets $3M

By Gabriella vukelic

The Daily Wildcat

Anthropology graduate students will have more hands-on opportunities at the UA, as two alumni have donated $3 million to support graduate research.

Philip and Kathe Gust delivered a generous gift to the UA School of Anthropology at its 100th anniversary commemoration on Sept.

15. The couple donated $3 million to support graduate students during their research at the school.

Though neither Philip nor Kathe received degrees in anthropology, the couple has a broad interest in culture, archaeology and anthropology, and their donation represents a desire to train future generations of anthropologists.

According to UA News, the School of Anthropology in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences educates more than 100 graduate students in knowledgeable skills that they will apply in research for their master’s theses and dissertations. With help from the Gusts, the UA is getting closer to its goal of raising $1.5 billion through the Arizona NOW campaign. The money donated to the schools will be used for specific projects and purposes.

Claire Barker, an anthropology graduate research associate, said funding for graduate student research has been scarce because of both state and federal budget cuts. Barker had spoken to the Gusts in the Homol’ovi Lab about both past and ongoing research taking place through the Homol’ovi Program and the Rock Art Ranch Field School.

“This gift provides support for graduate

students to conduct field research, which is such a fundamental part of anthropology,” Barker said.

According to UA News, Philip Gust earned his Bachelor of Science in mathematics and psychology and his master’s degree in computer science at the UA. He taught computer science at the UA in the 1970s, created products for multiple hightech companies and, more recently, developed digital preservation software at Stanford University, where Kathe Gust is currently an engineering librarian.

Kathe Gust earned her Bachelor of Arts in speech communications and fine arts and her master’s degree in library science at the UA as well. She has worked in multiple libraries, both academic and public.

“Anthropology graduate students conduct research all over the globe,” said Jennifer Yamnitz, director of marketing and communications for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. “These funds will help cover travel, equipment and other research expenses while they are in the field and the laboratory.”

The Gusts support numerous causes in areas that interest them and said they believe the donation was a necessary gesture to provide future generations an opportunity to have an in-depth focus on the diverse field of anthropology.

I have a fever, doctor says I need more DAILY WILDCAT

One size does not fit all.

What can my sorority sisters and I do to keep ourselves safer while on campus even after we’ve drank too much?

There are strategies to reduce potential harm once you’ve overconsumed and we’ll get to them in a moment. However, pre-vention is always easier than post-vention.

The best way to reduce harm from overdrinking is to stay in your “Sweet Spot” by keeping your BAC at or below .05%. Ex: two standard drinks for females and three for men/ drinking event. This way you avoid the problems associated with over-consumption such as vomiting, blacking out, placing yourself at risk, having regrets, etc., and maximize positive drinking outcomes like being social and having fun.

Here are three practical ideas to add to your arsenal of harm reduction strategies to make you and your sorority sisters safer on campus.* Having a designated sober buddy (SB) whenever you drink is always a good idea. Being able to count on a friend who has their frontal lobes intact is a considerable advantage.

Although your SB can stop you from doing something embarrassing or dangerous, you are ultimately responsible for your own behaviors.

Get yourself to the place where you will be the safest. Most likely, this will be your own room. Your SB can help make that happen.

Download LiveSafe, a free app that links up students to emergency contacts available on campus. The idea behind the app is for students to reach maximum safety on and around campus, providing access to SafeRide and SafeWalk. One of the coolest features is that a student can call a friend and share their location via GPS. The student’s friend can then follow their location until they arrive home safely and could alert UAPD if needed.

Remember that UAPD is here to protect the safety of all UA students.

Hart on budget cuts: ‘trying times’ BY michelle jaquette The Daily Wildcat

The Appointed Professionals Advisory Council at the UA had its 2015 annual meeting Monday. Members voted on new bylaws, and President Ann Weaver Hart spoke about the goals of the UA as the 2016 fiscal year fast approaches.

What is APAC? APAC is a group of appointed professionals that participate in community life on campus.

APAC represents all professional employees on campus, including lecturers, researchers, directors and non-faculty administration who rely on year-to-year appointments.

The group was chartered in 1992 to give a voice to professionals who work on campus but are not considered faculty.

The UA, along with many public universities around the U.S., practices shared governance.

Important decisions on budget and policy are made by three main groups: the president of the university, the governing board and the faculty. According to Mark Napier, appointed chair of APAC and associate director of operations for Parking and Transportation Services, appointed professionals “fill a vital niche between employees and staff,” and thus need an organization where they can make their voices heard.

The organization has almost 4,000 professionals and is looking to gain a wider range of participation from professionals around campus. APAC’s goal is to enhance the quality of career life for all appointed professionals by advising the UA administration.

Never Settle During the annual meeting, Hart reported on progress being made on UA’s Never Settle strategic plan, launched in 2013. She focused on the plan’s four main pillars: engaging, innovating, partnering and synergy.

Engaging The UA is committed to unwavering student support. Over half of a $2 million donation from Bruce R. and Patricia A. Bartlett will be used to improve the SALT Center. The center will now be linked to the THINK TANK in order to provide students of all learning styles an opportunity to receive free tutoring.

The fiscal budget for 2016 will allow students to retroactively join the tuition guarantee program. It will cost the university $2.5 million to provide this, according to Hart.

Innovating Never Settle’s goals include promoting the UA’s core strengths and areas with potential for growth. Hart identified the areas where funding will be focused: defense and security—“I’m not talking missiles here,” she said—space systems, environmental sciences and health sciences.

Health sciences has shown potential for

growth, especially with a recent endowment of $300 million from Banner Health, according to Banner – Health University Medical Center’s website.

Partnering Hart said she was excited about the UA’s partnership with Banner Health, Uber, Japan and Dubai, who is partnering with UA for Expo 2020.

Hart said she is currently talking to a few other entities about potential partnerships and will be announcing those soon if all goes according to plan.

Synergy “Trying times” was a frequently used term in the meeting. Hart said that this is not an easy year for Arizona universities, especially after

Gov. Doug Ducey and the state Legislature cut $99 million from university funding.

Hart said she is looking to corporate partnerships and the state legislature for help.

Hart said she supports the Arizona Board of Regents’ plan to ask the legislature to vote in support of paying for half of undergraduate tuition for Arizona residents. ABOR will make the proposal at the monthly meeting in Flagstaff this week.

“Stop collecting our tuition and playing with us on tuition remittance,” Hart said. She believes the university should have more autonomy to manage its own fiscal house.

Concern over the UA becoming more autonomous was expressed during the Q&A. “I work on an area that not all people believe is a priority,” said Ben Champion, director of the Office of Sustainability. “Does this proposal

invite greater scrutiny in terms of auditing what the costs are?”

Hart laughed, and said, “That horse left the barn decades ago, and they already called me to complain about you. … [The state legislature doesn’t] think we should have a humanities college, for goodness sake, and that poetry is irrelevant to the mission of a land-grant university.”

Hart said she believes that enough people are willing to champion areas of study such as sustainability and the humanities in order to keep these disciplines alive, regardless of what the legislature says.

UA wins $2.3 million for jazz playing AI

The new UA School of Information has launched in a big way. Kelland Thomas, professor and associate director of the iSchool, has just started a research project that aims to test artificial intelligence in the form of a jazz-playing robot.

The five-year project, dubbed Music Improvising Collaborative Agent, or MUSICA, has just been funded by a $2.3 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. MUSICA aims to create artificial intelligence that has the capability to collaborate with humans in real time.

involves artificial intelligence and machine learning, but it also brings in my love of music and creative behavior,” Thomas said.

“The idea was to use my background as a musician to try and help train or program a machine.”

The computer will draw from a database of jazz solos while listening to human soloists. Using the musical information it is receiving, the robot will make decisions on what to play.

“The idea is to get the computer to behave in a way that we would recognize as creative,” Thomas said.

While the goal of the program is to create jazz in real time, MUSICA could begin a new era of human-computer interactions in the long-term. The team’s goal is to have computers act as meaningful collaborators with humans, rather than as assistants.

Computers need users to learn how to operate them, but Thomas is aiming to

create a computer that can learn how to communicate in a natural language with humans.

The hope is that computers can provide feedback based on their surroundings and be utilized not only creatively as jazz musicians, but as problem-solvers.

More research like MUSICA is in the works at the School of Information.

The iSchool focuses on research in interdisciplinary information science, including artificial intelligence, data management and computer-mediated learning and library sciences.

In a more technologically reliant world, the iSchool’s goal is to break down barriers between humans and computers.

Catherine Brooks, director of undergraduate studies for the School of Information, currently researches students in learning contexts, people seeking support online and related social practice

and behavior.

Brooks says the school hopes to work with large interdisciplinary and collaborative research teams in the future.

This includes research in social media behavior and large-scale disasters, highperformance computing for uses in politics and business, and internet behavior and online social practices such as eCommerce and consumer behavior.

“Overall, faculty in our new school focus on issues of mediated contemporary life: information, data, human protections, publishing practices, computational art and other issues tied to this digital age,” Brooks said.

City of Tucson works with Compost Cats

BY Elizabeth Hannah The Daily Wildcat

As scientists’ predictions about the impact of humaninduced climate change become increasingly dire, it will be more important than ever to have easy, inexpensive ways to reduce our carbon footprints.

One often overlooked method of environmental protection is composting—disposing of organic waste, like leftover food scraps, under conditions that promote aerobic decomposition, which produces less greenhouse gases than landfill disposal.

For the last several years, members of Compost Cats, a UA student-run organization, have been working tirelessly to promote the use of composting in Tucson.

The organization collects food scraps and other compost materials from local businesses and UA restaurants, processing them into usable compost at San Xavier Co-Op Farm.

In the past, this collection process was fully student driven.

Members of Compost Cats would drive to local businesses in trucks, pick up bins of food waste themselves and haul the bins back to the farm.

Now, the business model has begun to change. In August, Compost Cats’ hard work paid off when it became recognized as the city of Tucson’s official composting service. The city has agreed to pick up food waste bins using old recycling trucks and will carry the bins to San Xavier, which will make the collection process more efficient and costeffective.

“Prior to the partnership, we were hauling around our bins in a stake truck for all our businesses,” said Shelby Hoglund, an environmental sciences senior and Compost Cats student farm crew manager.

“Now we have two runs a week to the two Whole Foods grocery stores that are outside of the city limits. Other than that, the city does the organics hauling.”

Although the student group has worked with the city of Tucson in the past, this newly formalized relationship will help Compost Cats partner up with more businesses and increase its overall impact.

of Tucson will allow us to expand to businesses that we may not have had the resources or time to reach out to,” Hoglund said.

“More businesses are reaching out to us ... wanting to compost their organic waste because more people know about our organization and want to support it.”

According to Taylor Sanders, a sustainable plant systems senior and sales and development manager for Compost Cats, composting provides a viable alternative to traditional landfills

because it avoids methane buildup and allows organic matter to decompose in the presence of oxygen.

“When you put organic matter into a landfill, it sits there and it gets waste piled on top of it,” Sanders said. “As things pile up and become tightly packed, the [organic matter] loses its access to oxygen. Even though it eventually decomposes, it decomposes anaerobically and that produces methane.”

Methane is one of the single most destructive greenhouse

gases in the atmosphere, even more damaging than carbon dioxide. Methane traps an enormous amount of heat, making its per-pound effect on climate change over 20 times greater than that of carbon dioxide, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

More than 60 percent of methane emissions stem from human activities like industry and agriculture, with approximately one-fifth of this fraction coming directly from

landfills.

“Taking food scraps, mixing them with a bit of green waste and water and allowing natural microbes to go to work is an environmentally friendly process that produces a usable product,” Sanders said. “The healthy soil that results from composting is nutrient rich and has a high water-holding capacity, and it can be used on farms and gardens.”

Foiling flus and banning beads The Daily Wildcat

There’s an app for that A recent study conducted by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation showed that a new artificial pancreas system could be helpful in stabilizing blood glucose levels in patients with Type 1 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin , resulting in the inability to convert glucose into energy .

The artificial pancreas system, designed by Cambridge University, is composed of a glucose sensor and an insulin pump. The system uses a smartphone to help control insulin transmission in Type 1 diabetics, which allowed subjects the ability to control their own insulin dosages, if necessary .

The program, however, was still able to calculate and administer insulin dosages independently , according to the study.

Researchers believe that the

new artificial pancreas system is significantly more effective than manual transmission in helping subjects with Type 1 diabetes remain in their target glucose range.

The study showed that subjects were able to maintain their target glucose range 68 percent of the time using the artificial pancreas system compared to 57 percent of the time for those who independently controlled their insulin dosages.

The subjects also showed improvement in night glucose levels, staying in range at night 59 percent of the time compared to 29 percent for those not using the artificial pancreas system, according to researchers.

According to the JDRF, the study was the longest trial ever performed using an artificial pancreas system that yielded positive results.

Microbeads, the tiny, plastic beads that are often found in soaps and cosmetics, are entering and polluting aquatic habitats, according to a new study published in Environmental Science and Technology .

According to the study, there are more than 800 trillion microbeads entering waterways every day in the U.S. through a sludge that turns into a runoff from sewage treatment plants.

“Contaminants like these microbeads are not something our waste-water treatment plants were built to handle, and the overall amount of contamination is huge,” said Stephanie Green of Oregon State University, a co-author of the study .

Once these microbeads have entered aquatic habitats, marine life mistakes them for food and ingests them, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The study states that although microbeads are made to be washed down drains, they are not biodegradable, and the small size of plastic microbeads makes them difficult for waste-water treatment plants to filter out on a large scale.

Illinois became the first state to ban the production and sale of products containing microbeads in 2014 , according to the NOAA. Companies including Unilever and Johnson & Johnson have also pledged to phase out the use of microbeads in their products.

Foiling this year’s flu According to Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the agency is taking measures to ensure this year’s flu vaccine is more effective than last year’s.

The CDC reported that the flu vaccine available to the public last year was less than 23 percent effective because of recent mutations in the dominant strain of the flu virus, compared to a typical efficacy rate of 50 to 60 percent.

This year’s flu vaccine will be reformulated and derived from the H1N1like virus, H3N2-like virus and influenza B to match mutational changes to the dominant strain of the flu virus.

A recent analysis done by the CDC in the U.S. indicates that this vaccine will be more effective at preventing the flu.

According to the CDC, 5 to 20 percent of the U.S. population becomes sick with the flu each year. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 years and older get a flu vaccine each year, particularly those older than 65 and those with chronic diseases, as the flu can pose serious health threats to the elderly and those with suppressed immune systems.

On an intergalactic collision course New research published by Columbia University predicts that two supermassive black holes in the Virgo constellation are on a collision course,

and will most likely collide in 100,000 years.

According to the researchers, the black holes are currently one light-week apart and are moving closer to each other.

Researchers currently know little about black hole collisions and how frequently they take place.

Zoltan Haiman, an astronomer at Columbia University and senior author of the study, claims that watching this process can help researchers understand how black holes and galaxies grow, and if they have similar growth rates.

“This is the closest we’ve come to observing two black holes on their way to a massive collision,” Haiman said in an interview with NYC Today.

One of the study’s co-authors, David Schiminovich, believes that studying the collision of these two black holes can help researchers search for more pairs of black holes that are undergoing similar activity.

Supermassive black holes are generally found at the center of galaxies.

The black holes being watched by researchers are located 3.5 billion light years from Earth. The research team predicts that the energy produced by the collision could generate an extremely high amount of energy, equivalent to that of 100 million supernova explosions.

A laboratory the size of a USB drive A new DNA sequencing device could be used to treat infections more quickly.

Researchers from the University of East Anglia have developed a DNA sequencing device than can detect bacteria in urine samples four times more quickly than traditional methods.

Findings on the device, about the size of a USB stick, were unveiled last weekend at a medical conference in San Diego.

According to the researchers, the device could enable faster treatment of things like urinary tract infections.

David Livermore, a professor at UEA’s Norwich Medical School, believes that the device could lead to a more efficient use of antibiotics in treating patients with UTIs. “Treatment can be refined earlier, benefitting the patient who gets an effective antibiotic,” Livermore said at the conference.

Researchers said that the sequencing device can detect bacteria and provide results in as little as 12 hours, compared to two days—the amount of time it takes to get results in a traditional laboratory setting.

According to Dr. Justin O’Grady, also from the UEA’s Norwich Medical School, the device can also detect a patient’s resistance to any antibiotics.

Researchers said that there is still room for improvement in the device, as it only works on urine samples that are heavily infected.

student fungus farmers

BY NATALIE ROBBINS The Daily Wildcat

Tucked away in a lab on the fifth floor of the Marley building is a world of fungi. It is here that the MycoCats grow mushrooms in mixtures never thought possible. From mesquite bean pods to greasy pizza boxes, the university’s trash is being turned into something gourmet.

The MycoCats program is a student-run organization funded by the UA Green Fund. It is directed by Dr. Barry Pryor, a professor in the UA School of Plant Sciences, and managed by plant pathology graduate student Parker Evans.

Evans first became involved at the Pryor Laboratory after taking Dr. Pryor’s Mushrooms, Molds, and Man class.

The Pryor Laboratory website describes the MycoCats’ research as sustainable cultivation of gourmet mushrooms.

In the lab, the MycoCats create mushroom substrate, or soil, from fallen mesquite bean pods, coffee grounds, invasive buffelgrass, cardboard, paper scraps and greasy pizza boxes.

“We use living organisms to recycle agricultural and post-consumer waste,” Evans said.

One sustainable substrate, which has been successful in growing mushrooms, has been the mesquite bean pod. Often used to make flour, mesquite bean pods are usually rendered inedible once they fall to the ground. This is because fallen pods sometimes develop a fungus called Aspergillus, which produces aflatoxin, a carcinogen, according to Evans.

Although harmful to humans, these bean pods provide a perfect growing medium for mushrooms. The mushrooms are able to break down the toxin and use the bean pods as a food source.

Used, greasy pizza boxes also make for an excellent mushroom substrate. The grease from the pizza provides an additional food source for the mushrooms.

“There’s a number of good programs out there if you have a non-greasy piece of cardboard; it will recycle perfectly. But there are these little niche applications, which fungi are exceptional at completing,” Evans said.

In order to grow the mushrooms, the MycoCats

start out by growing the mushroom cultures on a petri dish to produce mycelia, the branching part of the fungi from which the mushrooms grow.

MycoCats then mix the mycelia with barley and let the mixture sit for one week.

After a week, they add the recyclable materials, like the ground-up mesquite bean pods, to the barley and let the mixture sit for another two weeks.

When the material in the bags has turned white, they poke holes into the bags and transfer them to humidity-controlled refrigerators. There, mushrooms grow out of the holes.

Right now, according to Evans, they are growing six different species of mushrooms, including a warm weather shitake variety. The mushrooms that are grown by the MycoCats are distributed to commercial growers in Tucson and Phoenix.

The MycoCats are also involved in extension outreach work through the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

At Tucson Village Farm, an urban farm housed at the UA Pima County Cooperative Extension office, mushrooms are grown in a solar-powered, swamp-cooled shed. The mushroom shed was created as a part of Dr. Pryor’s son’s Eagle Scout project.

The mushrooms grown at Tucson Village Farm are sold at the farm’s weekly U-Pick events.

“People love them,” said Elizabeth Sparks, the 4-H youth development assistant agent for Tucson Village Farm. “The ones in the stores don’t even look beautiful because they have come such a long distance, and here they are beautiful and delicious.”

The MycoCats are exceeding the boundaries of traditional mycology, finding innovative ways to complete the cycle of sustainability. With new discoveries popping up every day, Evans says to look out for more advances in a variety of fields, from mushrooms that can eat plastic, to mushrooms that can be used as pharmaceuticals.

After all, mushrooms are more closely related to us than they are to plants, providing a unique opportunity for further research.

We use living organisms to recycle agricultural and post-consumer waste.”

Students settle in for class in the Science-Engineering Library Room 200S on Friday, Sept. 18. Room 200S is a collaborative learning space that offers students the opportunity to learn in a more active environment.

Physiology class not immune to change

BY Samwel Ochieng The Daily Wildcat

Students taking assistant professor Dr. Zoe Cohen’s immunology course shuffle into their afternoon lecture in the same way as many of their fellow students. The only difference is that, instead of a cramped lecture hall, the immunology students are surrounded by multiple TV screens on all sides and are seated at round tables on the main floor of the Science-Engineering Library.

Beginning last academic year, instructors began to experiment with a collaborative learning model. Implementation of the model is the brainchild of Gail Burd, UA’s senior vice provost for

academic affairs.

Naim Duran, a physiology senior, said, “I think it’s an interesting way to learn, and I enjoy being able to discuss and work out ideas with my classmates without worrying about missing information”.

The collaborative format began with chemistry and engineering courses. In the current academic year, instructors had the option to structure their courses to fit this scheme.

“I got an email asking for instructors who were interested in participating, and I was excited to try the format in order to create a better learning environment for students,” Cohen said.

Unlike in the past, the new format is being used for courses in

the biological sciences.

“The unique thing is that we are adopting the format for a course that is not problem-based in the way that a course like general chemistry is,” Cohen said. “I can’t tell students to sit down and give them five minutes to solve cancer, but I can interact with my students and use questions and scenarios to engage next-level thought, and I have been pleased with the discussions that I hear from the students.”

Students are already adjusting to the different learning style that requires them to participate in small groups to answer questions.

For students like Cale GrenilloWeaver, a physiology senior, the class structure is something that he

has been waiting for.

“I get to think about concepts instead of just sitting in a lecture hall and being expected to internalize facts like in most lectures, which is really helping me learn,” GrenilloWeaver said.

Cohen, who said that she worked hard to revamp her immunology course, teaches at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Cohen also teaches cardiology to undergraduate, graduate and medical students.

Cohen was intrigued with changing her class format based on published research on the subject, which states that students learn better when they are able to engage in discussion of concepts.

“I love that immunology is not

formulaic and allows for students to learn to think critically,” Cohen said. “I am pleased when I hear students pose new ideas and solutions that even I may have not considered.”

Many students in the course are juniors and seniors who have not had a class taught in this format, but are finding it easy to contribute to the learning process.

“In the middle of a discussion about antigen recognition in the body, one student raised her hand and asked, ‘Since all cells have antigens, then isn’t every cell an immune cell?’ And I was like, ‘Wow,’ ” Cohen said.

The clock is ticking on Islamophobia

BY Cooper Temple The Daily Wildcat

L

ast week, a 14-year-old Muslim named Ahmed Mohamed was arrested at his high school in Irvine, Texas, when a ahomemade clock that he brought to school was mistaken for a bomb by his teacher. She alerted school authorities, police were contacted and the ordeal ended with Mohamed’s arrest and a three-day suspension from school.

The arrest led to outcries of disbelief from numerous sources including President Barack Obama, who invited Mohamed to the White House; Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who praised Mohamed for his clock, and MIT, which invited him to tour the campus.

In contrast were those who dissented and argued that the teachers were justified in contacting the police. Both Sarah Palin and her daughter, Bristol, posted on social media to express their support of the school, and Bill Maher, liberal HBO talk show host, surprisingly also agreed that the school was justified in its actions.

“People at the school thought it might be a bomb because it looks exactly like a [expletive] bomb,” Maher said.

Although Maher makes a fair point in defending the actions of the school, he and the Palins were wrong to argue that the arrest was

justified. The school, of course, has policies that need to be followed when any sort of threat develops, especially given the prevalence of recent school shootings across the U.S. The administration of the school was right to contact police regardless of the student’s race.

If the teacher felt threatened by a potential weapon, she had an obligation to report it to school authorities.

Mohamed’s machine was quickly proven not to be dangerous, and the school did not bring in a bomb squad or put the campus on lockdown. Yet, despite the school’s obvious mistake, the police still arrived, arrested Mohamed, put him in the patrol car with his clock and removed him from school.

Sarah Palin argued in a Facebook post that police were justified in arresting Mohamed, writing, “Yep, believing that’s a clock in a school pencil box is like believing [President] Barack Obama is ruling over the most transparent administration in history.” Her daughter chimed in, saying that the press Mohamed is getting and the invitation from Obama “encourage[s] more racial strife.”

And to an extent, they’re right: the arrest of Mohamed was not a surprise, not because he committed a legitimate crime but because of the rampant Islamophobia that is prevalent in America today.

Just days later, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would “look into” the problem of Muslims in America. Another presidential hopeful, Ben Carson, said he would not support a Muslim president, claiming Islam is inconsistent with the contents of the Constitution.

A recent Gallup poll showed that more than half of the Muslim societies outside of America believe that Muslims in the West are not treated like equal citizens. Angry, armed protests at American

mosques—which are peaceful centers for prayer—threaten the safety and freedom of religion to which Muslims in America are entitled. Yet critics still blame Obama for inciting racial strife.

The problem of Islamophobia is not an isolated incident stemming from the arrest of Mohamed. Instead, it comes from the fear-mongering, distortion of truth and blatant lies that are so often encountered when the Muslim faith is discussed.

Media sources often promote inaccuracies, such as CNN host Chris Cuomo’s claim that Muslims are “unusually barbaric,” or Fox News’ Andrea Tantaros stating that “you can’t solve [Islam] with a dialogue. You can’t solve it with a summit. You solve it with a bullet to the head. It’s the only thing these people understand.”

America has developed a culture that disrespects and profiles a religion practiced by 1.57 billion people worldwide. It has become commonplace for politicians to dehumanize Muslims, even those who are American citizens. And now, especially with a potential influx of Syrian refugees, Muslims will be more prevalent than ever in America.

Rather than spew hatred and misinformation, the media needs to refrain from sensationalist, xenophobic views that lead to arrests like Ahmed Mohamed’s, and instead promote tolerance and acceptance of a religion not entirely different from many others practiced around the world.

Real pumpkin not enough to spice up latte

BY Justice Amarillas The Daily Wildcat

T

he dreaded return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte is here, which means that it will now take at least half an hour to get some coffee at Starbucks. It also means that fall is almost here, since apparently “fall starts with three letters: PSL” according to every fall Starbucks advertisement ever.

Since the PLS’s return on Sept. 8, Starbucks has informed the public that a new version of the latte will now contain real pumpkin puree and no artificial caramel coloring, instead of the pumpkinflavored sauce and fake caramel featured for the past 12 years. Of course, this is supposed to make consumers think that the drink is healthy and tastes better, but that is up for debate.

Psychology senior and shift leader at Starbucks

in the UA Bookstore Sydnie Brown shared, “The shift in ingredients is meant to reflect a more natural and organic product, though this is just a stepping stone. I like Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but I can’t really tell the difference in taste from the real pumpkin.”

For those who don’t know, a Pumpkin Spice Latte is comprised of espresso, steamed milk, pumpkin and cinnamon, clove, ginger and nutmeg spices. The grande size contains 380 calories, 14 grams of fat and 50 grams of sugar.

It’s a great seasonal drink to try and have as a treat—but not to have religiously. Even though the drink is here for a limited time, it’s good to be reminded not to stock up on it before it’s gone.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are simply not worth the hype that consumers and Starbucks make them out to be.

Yahoo Health reveals a study that details what happens to the body after consuming a 16-ounce, grande PSL, assuming the drink is made with 2 percent milk and topped with whipped cream.

into glucose to be stored and used for energy. If the cells are already full of glucose, it gets rejected and the extra sugar can get stored as fat.

Ten minutes later, the liver starts working to absorb the glucose and create glycogen, while excess sugar is stored as fat again. The drink also prompts the body’s metabolism to slow, which increases the desire for food and empty calories. Lastly, and most well-known, the large amounts of caffeine and sugar may contribute to gastrointestinal discomfort.

Since the World Health Organization decreased the daily sugar intake recommendations from 10 percent of caloric intake to 5 percent, an adult with a normal body mass index should have 25 grams of sugar a day. Pumpkin Spice Lattes contain double that amount.

It’s peculiar as to why consumers, especially college students, are crazy over this drink. Perhaps it’s a signifier of class status and wealth. Think about it: students that do have the money and love the drink will continue to buy it regularly, and when their name, or something close to it, gets called by the servers, the immediate first impression we

have of that person can be distasteful if we hate the drink.

“The drink is holiday festive, which may contribute to how popular it is, considering that it is a limited-edition drink. The season gets progressively colder, so people are also comforted by the drink’s warm and inviting flavors,” Brown said.

After trying one of these drinks, it’s clear why its name is Pumpkin Spice: other than the taste of espresso and milk, the taste of spice is most prominent. Not even the taste of pumpkin can be detected, just the spice of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg. What Starbucks fails to mention is how much pumpkin is used in the drinks, since it isn’t immediately tasted. The scent of pumpkin, however, is definitely present.

Perhaps it is the mixture of all these things that gives the drink a pumpkin flavor, but no mixture of spice can clarify why people like it so much.

iola Davis won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as the incomparable Annalise Keating in ABC’s “How to Get Away with Murder” on Sunday. This win was the first in the category for a woman of color, after 66 years of Emmy awards.

Viola Davis’ win—along with Taraji P. Henson’s nomination for her role as Cookie in “Empire,” Uzo Aduba’s win for “Orange Is the New Black” and Regina King’s win for “American Crime”—was incredible. However, as the win, and Davis,point out, we can do more to address racial and gender inequality within media.

The acknowledgement that this is perhaps the most diverse Emmys ever was not lost on host Andy Samberg, who subsequently proclaimed, “Racism’s over. But don’t factcheck that.”

The Emmys haven’t historically been productive for people of color, particularly women. A 2014 UCLA report found that over 90 percent of Oscar-winning films are directed by and predominantly star men; in the 20112012 television seasons, only 20 percent of Emmy-winning shows were created by women.

In response to their report’s finding, the researchers wrote, “When media images are rooted primarily in stereotype, inequality is normalized and is more likely to be reinforced over time through our prejudices and practices.”

In her acceptance speech, Davis opened with a Harriet Tubman quote. “In my mind, I see a line. And over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched towards me; but I can’t seem to get over that line.” Davis may finally be over that line, but she recognizes the cost.

“Let me tell you something: The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity,” she said. “You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.”

Following Davis’ win, daytime soap star of General Hospital Nancy Lee Grahn tweeted “I’m a f-king actress for 40 yrs. None of us get respect or opportunity we deserve. Emmys not venue 4 racial opportunity. ALL women belittled,” which was subsequently deleted, although recorded by Buzzfeed.

Grahn followed with the less incensing, “I think she’s the bees knees but she’s elite of TV performers. Brilliant as she is. She has never been discriminated against.” While she eventually apologized, noting how inappropriate her phrasing was, Grahn’s tweet is a testament to the idea that racism is indeed

over in Hollywood.

Grahn isn’t alone in her now-redacted opinion that Davis and other elite people of color in Hollywood haven’t been discriminated against.

In 2014, when “How to Get Away with Murder” was released, then television critic Alessandra Stanley had a whole lot to say about Davis and executive producer Shonda Rhimes.

She referred to Davis as “older, darkerskinned and less classically beautiful than Hollywood’s other leading black ladies, like Kerry Washington and Halle Berry,” and also “sexy, in a slightly menacing way.” The writer went on to question Rhimes’ writing as a perpetuation of stereotypes.

She suggests later that Rhimes’ possible memoir be titled “How to Get Away With Being an Angry Black Woman,” a stereotype she clearly thinks is real, and explained that the ideal of woman of color on TV—and apparently just in general—is Clair Huxtable, “The Cosby Show” character played by Phylicia Rashad.

Karl Rove, former White House deputy chief of staff and senior advisor to President George W. Bush, explained that Huxtable is the reason Americans are ready for a black first lady.

Stanley, who later stated that Saturday Night Live was going on a “diversity jag” after hiring a few cast members of color, is representative of the mainstream white ideology that believes people of color simply just aren’t trying hard enough without acknowledging that opportunities for them—especially within television and film—simply do not exist.

Davis, who had worn her natural hair at the Oscars in 2012, had already made waves as someone not willing to bow to the confining white-washed stereotypes presented by Hollywood. Davis and Rhimes collaborate to showcase the power of color in television, but also to include women of color within the female narrative on screen, eschewing the classic roles of maid and slave for the tenure and pristine law offices of Keating.

“The role wasn’t written for a black woman, I made it black,” Davis said in an interview.

Her role may not have been written for her, but there isn’t a reasonable person who wouldn’t commend the incredible talent of Davis, Washington, Henson and the other actresses nominated.

I stand with Davis when she says, “So here’s to all the writers, the awesome people, … people who have redefined what it means to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be a leading woman, to be black.”

We have a lot left to do to solve the race and gender gap of representation, but Davis’ win is a definite sign of progress.

UCLA’s Myles Jack haunts ‘Cats

BY Kyle Hansen

The Daily Wildcat

What comes to mind when you hear the name Frank Kaminsky?

7-footer?

Sharpshooter?

Wisconsin? Elite Eight? How about Wildcat Killer?

The latter could also describe another common Arizona foe.

His name is Myles Jack.

“How long has he been there?” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez asked of Jack at his press conference Monday. “I think I said after his first year he should go ahead and declare [for the draft].”

Jack is a junior linebacker for the No. 9 UCLA Bruins that will visit Tucson on Saturday. For two years now, Jack has been the ultimate thorn in Rodriguez’s side.

As a freshman in 2013, the Bruins visited Arizona in what would be a close 31-26 win for UCLA. Jack, who primarily plays defense, saw his first action of the year on offense as a running back.

He ran the ball six times for 120 yards, including a 66yard touchdown. Jack also contributed big on defense by recording eight tackles and recovering a fumble.

That was just his first year.

During Jack’s sophomore season in 2014, the Wildcats visited Pasadena, California, and the Rose Bowl to take on the Bruins again. The Bruins again took the victory 17-7, and, although the score seemed close, the fast-paced Arizona offense was kept stagnant by a tough UCLA defense led by Jack.

Now the Wildcats get to see Jack for a third time.

“He’s a great player, and certainly he’s done some good things against us on both sides of the ball,” Rodriguez said. “He’s having another really good year.”

Through three games, Jack

continues to be a dominant force for UCLA. He has run the ball twice just this year, but he did score in the Bruins’ opener against Virginia. Jack also had a fourth-quarter interception against BYU that sealed UCLA’s victory.

Jack attended Bellevue High School in Bellevue, Washington.

Listed as a four-star recruit by multiple sources, Jack came into this year on the watch list for the preseason Walter Camp Award, which is given to college football’s most outstanding player. This list also includes Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright III. If Jack chooses to declare for the NFL after this season, there’s a good chance he will be a first-round pick and the first linebacker taken in the draft.

So what should Arizona fans expect from Jack this Saturday?

Well, they should expect him to dominate.

Jack does not quite stuff the stat sheet like Scooby, but his impact is there. He’s quick, athletic and smart. He probably will not see any time at running back because his teammate, Paul Perkins, is tearing it up for UCLA. But Jack’s success in the past could be another weapon for the Bruins. Rodriguez knows all too well what Jack is capable of, and he will need to plan accordingly.

With ESPN’s College GameDay coming to town, the Bruins and Wildcats will each try anything and everything to come away with a victory. This game will make a big splash in the Pac-12 South race, and Jack will be one of the storylines going into this game.

Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller and his team were unlucky in running into Frank Kaminsky in backto-back Elite Eights. Rodriguez will get to see his biggest foe for a third time, and in a game this big, expect to see a lot from UCLA’s No. 30.

Scooby Wright returns to practice

BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat

Will Scooby Wright III play Saturday?

That’s the most pressing question around UA and throughout Tucson, as Arizona’s primetime Saturday matchup with UCLA creeps closer.

The answer became a little bit clearer after Arizona football’s Tuesday practice.

“Every rep [Wright] takes during practice is a physical test,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “We’ll see what he did today, tomorrow and

by Thursday we’ll know.”

Thursday is when Arizona releases its weekly injury report.

Rodriguez said he didn’t focus much on Wright during Tuesday’s hour and a half practice, as his attention was focused on the offense.

Wright was seen on the field in full gear toward the beginning of practice, competing with the first-team defense.

Bad memories with UCLA stick with Wildcats It wasn’t a pretty sight for the Wildcat faithful when Arizona played UCLA last year at the Rose Bowl.

The Wildcats were held to just one score in a 17-7 battle against a bruising Bruins defense.

A year later, Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon hasn’t forgotten the dismal offensive performance. On that night, Solomon completed just 18 of 48 passing attempts.

“If we play like that again, we’re going to get embarrassed on a national stage,” Solomon said. “We can’t come out the way we came out last year.”

Rodriguez said he also remembers that loss vividly, although it’s clear that he would rather put it behind him for good.

“I was a little bit sick to my stomach [watching game film],” Rodriguez said. “It was pretty hard on all of us.

[Solomon] didn’t have a good game, I didn’t have a good game, none of us

had a good game.”

If one bright spot emerged in the loss, it came in the form of Arizona’s defense. Led by Wright, the Wildcats mostly limited a high-powered UCLA offense.

Star UCLA cornerback reinstated; another cornerback out for season Senior Bruins cornerback Ishmael Adams was reinstated into the program earlier this week after the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office decided not to file charges regarding Adams’ arrest last month.

Adams had been indefinitely suspended from the team after being arrested for stealing a cell phone from an Uber driver.

According to the Los Angeles Times, it is not clear whether Adams will be available to play this Saturday.

UCLA head coach Jim Mora told the paper that he would evaluate Adams’ progress in practice this week before deciding whether the cornerback will play this weekend.

Fabian Moreau, another UCLA defensive back, is out for the season with a foot injury.

Moreau is the second key UCLA defensive player to undergo a seasonending injury this season.

Earlier this month, Bruins defensive end Eddie Vanderdoes suffered a knee injury that will sideline him for the rest of the year.

Volleyball heads to Tempe for Territorial Cup

BY Brandon James The Daily Wildcat

College fans everywhere are focused on Arizona football’s showdown with No. 9 UCLA, but Arizona volleyball has a top-10 matchup this week as well, and it happens to be against its biggest rival.

No. 14 ranked Arizona will begin Pac-12 Conference play at No. 7 ASU tomorrow

at 7 p.m. This begins a stretch where the Wildcats will play six teams ranked in the top eight over the next 10 games.

Arizona finished the non-conference season with a 10-2 record and has showed it can compete and keep up with some of the best teams in the country.

Though the Wildcats lost a five-set heartbreaker to No. 2 Texas last weekend and to No. 12 Ohio State in four sets on

Sept. 12, they have proven to be solid against top ranked teams.

Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio said the team hasn’t been paying much attention to what other teams in the conference have been doing, but they have been using the out-of-conference schedule to prepare to play these teams.

Rubio said he has wanted to see his team become better blockers and more

offensive, and the team took a huge step toward this goal when it gave Texas all it could handle.

He also challenged his team to step up and perform in tough situations, something he said he thinks will be very important to do in conference play.

The Wildcats have showed they are capable of doing this time and time again.

Oregon — Could the Ducks be on upset watch? No. 18 Utah comes to town, and Vernon Adams is not at 100 percent, so the Ducks should be able to coast until midNovember’s date against Stanford.

2

Stanford — The Cardinal seemed to have returned to form with its 41-31 victory over USC. While Oregon remains the clear-cut favorite in the North, Stanford’s showing that its loss at Northwestern University was just a fluke.

California — The Bears avoided a scare against Texas, and Jared Goff and the California offense continue to hit on all cylinders. The team could potentially compete for the Pac-12 North or they embark on a major losing streak when they face the meat of their schedule in October, so they must capitalize on their easy wins.

3

Wa s h i n g t o n — The Huskies must win at home this weekend against California if they want to go bowling this holiday season. With five-straight ranked opponents, starting next week with USC, they likely have to beat one ranked team to earn a bowl bid.

5

Oregon State — The team defeated San Jose State pretty handily and now faces a much tougher Bay-Area school in Stanford. Four wins seem likely unless they upset a few teams and shake up the conference.

Washington State — Other than its Colorado matchup in November, Wazzu likely will not be favored in any of its matchups. The boys in Pullman, Washington, are going to have to pull off a Cinderella season if they want to go bowling.

UCLA — Josh Rosen’s play has tailed off since his sensational debut, as he tallied only 106 yards and one touchdown to three interceptions. Luckily, Perkins ran for 219 yards as UCLA barely escaped No. 22 BYU to remain undefeated.

USC — Their cross-town rival overtook the Trojans last week as they had their yearly stumble to an unranked team. With five ranked opponents left on their schedule, including UCLA to end the season, the Trojans have to be pretty much perfect to make the playoff.

Arizona — With No. 9 UCLA coming to town and College GameDay broadcasting the game Saturday, Arizona has a great chance to show the nation that last season was not a fluke. The Wildcats may need a returned Scooby Wright III to shut down and fluster Rosen if they want to win.

Volleyball from page 22

Arizona came back from a 23-18 deficit in the third set against Southern Methodist University, a team that went 26-6 just a year ago.

The Wildcats were determined enough to win the set and eventually the match.

They fought back when down 20-12 and 25-16 in sets against Syracuse, and again won the set and match.

Although Arizona dropped the decisive set to Texas, it proved it could compete with the best in the toughest situations by holding off three consecutive set points in the third set and producing crucial points in a tight fourth to force the match to a fifth and final set.

Starting strong in conference play is

Sports • September 23-24, 2015 always important, but the meaning of this Pac-12 opener is even greater since it is against rival ASU. Arizona will need leadership and important contributions from key players Kalei Mau, Laura Larson and Penina Snuka.

The Wildcats will look to continue their success against ASU, as they swept the Sun Devils last season.

After opening up conference play on the road, the Wildcats will return home for their conference home opener against No. 18 Oregon, Sunday at 2 p.m.
