Coffee shop is home for banned books

Ian Martella

evolutionary Grounds, a small coffee shop and bookstore on Fourth Avenue, is one of Tucson’s hot spots for controversial literature. Within its walls, guests can choose from a wide selection of counternormative books, ranging from topics such as intersections of race and sports in America to the bone-chilling short stories of Junot Díaz. In times of censorship within Tucson’s own educational community, Revolutionary Grounds is fighting to keep the spirit of marginalized opposition alive. In January, Tucson Unified School District obeyed orders from State Superintendent John Huppenthal to cut certain curriculum, including books that “promote the overthrow of the United States government.” Those books apparently comprised most of the curriculum of TUSD’s Mexican American Studies classes, so much so that the curriculum was suspended mid-semester. Huppenthal’s public statement on the matter, issued in January, revealed that he was shocked at TUSD’s initial refusal to change the MAS curriculum. The statement cited the MAS program’s website, saying that it “is in clear violation of A.R.S. § 15-112 A (3),” on the grounds that “the Mexican American Studies Department was formed specifically to enhance the academic success of Latino students.” Tony Diaz is the leader of Librotraficantes and founder of Nuestra Palabra, an organization that promotes Latino literature.

“The boiling point was actually canceling the classes and quantifying the books,” he told the The Colorado Independent in January. “What really offended us down to our soul — they took the books out of the classes in front of the kids and boxed them up, and that was such a cultural offense, we felt we had to do something.” Revolutionary Grounds’ library contains many of the books stripped from TUSD’s classrooms, including “The Devil’s Highway: A True Story” by Luis Alberto Urrea. “The Devil’s Highway follows a group of illegal immigrants crossing the border. It seems bizarre to me that it was banned in the first place, considering where we are, until you realize that they’re trying to hush up those voices,” said Colin Davies, an employee who has been working at Revolutionary Grounds for two years. According to Davies, Revolutionary Grounds is fighting to keep those voices from being quieted. “We want to be able to support free thinking and allow people to understand what’s going on in their state,” Davies said. “Providing people with banned books that they might not be able to get otherwise is one way we can do that.” But Revolutionary Grounds can’t do that alone. Just over three weeks ago, the store began an IndieGogo campaign with a hefty goal of $50,000. “We’re trying to keep this place open,” Davies said. “As it is right now, our store is falling apart.” With almost 30 days left on the campaign,

“They Call Me A Hero” is a new play running at Borderlands Theater now until Oct. 5. It is based closely on a 2013 memoir by Daniel Hernandez, who helped save former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a mass shooting on Jan. 8, 2011.

Revolutionary Grounds is asking for the Tucson community’s support in raising funds to keep the store open and continue to spread free knowledge. Without places like Revolutionary Grounds, students looking for literature that reflects their own heritage or beliefs might have to look a bit further — not only for those books, but also for a supportive community built

Alex Guyton Strangest, weirdest thing you’ve seen go down at the bar? I had a group do a shot one time, and they all had different names for it. I’ve heard different, crazy variations of it. Essentially, it was a shot of tequila where, rather than lick the salt, take the tequila and suck the lime, they got down on the bar and they snorted the salt, they shot the tequila and then they squeezed the lime into their eye. What are some of the names for the shot? ‘The Stuntman’ was one they called it, one was ‘Death in Tijuana’ or something along those lines. There were three gentlemen that did it, and they each had their own name for it.

he Heroes and Villains Comic Book Store off Broadway Boulevard and Swan Road is full of so many treasures, it’s hard to know where to start. The staff offers amazing customer service while making the store feel comfortable for every comicbook fan. While speaking with one of the supervisors, James Harper, he informed me that the store gets some amazing things every day, but they are

quickly sold. One of the most exciting things the store had was “Fantastic Four #1” a few years ago. When something does come in, it goes straight out the door,” Harper said. The store also carried early Spider-Man comics, as well as earlier action figures that were sold within 24 hours. According to Harper, a huge collection came in last year with a variety of things inside. One of these rarities was Amazing Spider-Man and Incredible Hulk-printed toilet paper from 1979. It was apparently the first

thing to go in the collection. The collection also carried a Spider-Man toilet seat, Wonder Woman boots and several other items. “Customer service,” Harper said, when asked what makes Heroes and Villains so unique. “I used to be a customer here before it started. It’s the ‘Cheers’ of comic book stores.” The store definitely has a lot of cool things inside, but if you are looking to snag a treasure, it would be wise to get there when the shipment first arrives. Harper also gave insights on how he

sees the store in the community. “We want to give a voice to people who don’t have a voice,” he said. “We want to be a big part of our community and make everyone feel welcome.” The store has charm and appeal, and there is a great selection to peruse. All considering, Heroes and Villains itself is a hidden gem. “We believe when you walk through the doors,” Harper said, “the things here have real value.”

On the Road Again

Each week, a member of the Arts & Life desk travels beyond Wildcat Country to a new destination and reports on their adventures. Patrick O’Connor experiences a nuclear attack as he tours the tunnels of this historic Tucson landmark.

he unassuming desert hills did not distract me as I thought about the hallowed ground on which I stood. Just 35 feet below me rested the secret control center of one of the world’s most powerful weapons: the Titan II nuclear missile. 18 silos were built around the Tucson area during the height of the Cold War, but only one remains in the form of the Titan Missile Museum. The outside of the museum is rather inconspicuous. An array of antennas guards the small metallic visitor’s center and a fence separates the main road from the silo. In the visitor’s center, you check out artifacts from the early atomic age and purchase tickets for the hourly guided tour. A map showing the potential destruction zone caused by a nuclear missile hitting the Tucson area is an eerie reminder that history would be very different with the turn of a few keys. “In nuclear war there are no winners,” said Hayward Sumner, a former crew commander at a Wichita, Kan., Titan II Silo and a volunteer tour guide at the museum. “[There are] only differing levels of destruction.” After donning a hard hat, I descend 55 steps into a subterranean Cold War relic. Like their mythological namesake, the Titan’s two blast doors were incredibly large and designed to withstand a nuclear blast. Through the doors is the sterile, fluorescent hallway that led to the control center. An aging command console is positioned at the center of the circular room. Dim yellow lights emanate from the computers, informing workers of the facility’s status and the health of the missile. Shortly after arriving in the control center, we are assigned crew positions and begin a simulated Titan II launch. “Charlie, Oscar, Papa, Yankee, Delta, Echo, Sierra, Kilo,” the speaker whines as we receive a message from Strategic Air Command.

Patrick O’Connor

DANIEL BURKART/THE DAILY WILDCAT

HAYWARD SUMNER talks to a tour group as he goes through the launch preparations for the Titan II missle. The Titan Missile Museum offers daily tours of the decomissioned facility.

The crew opens the bright red safe and verifies that the orders are from the commander-in-chief. One of the three preset locations, which are still classified today, is loaded into the missiles’ guidance system, and the keys are readied for launch. The tension rises in the room as our crew commander and deputy crew commander each turn and hold their keys. Only five seconds until we put millions of people in premature graves. Click. Indicator lights flash on. The missile has begun its automated launch sequence. Water fills the silo. “Total time from key turn to liftoff is 58 seconds,” Sumner said. The missile launches from the silo. 30 minutes from target. And then, silence. We wait for orders from some occult hand that survived the ramifications of our actions. According to Sumner, the crew has 30 days of food and water but only 12 to 16 days of breathable air. If we don’t hear anything, then it’s up to the crew commander to decide when to open the blast doors to face whatever is left of civilization. After the simulation, little traces of humanity seem to be everywhere in this top-secret bunker. Signs litter the facility informing crew members to travel in pairs for the sake of safety. The sea foam green paint that drapes the entire complex seems too cheery of a color for the home of a nine-megaton nuclear bomb. Following the launch, we enter another eerie tunnel to the silo. Large plexiglass windows give us a view of the almost 100-foot-tall missile and the open hatch doors above us let in the

comforts of natural light. After returning to the surface, we get our first views of the steel and concrete hatch that hid the missile from view. When President Ronald Reagan decommissioned the Titan II program in 1981, Titan II silos were destroyed in Wichita, Kan., Little Rock, Ark., and Tucson. This particular silo was converted into a museum in 1986. As part of our treaty with the Soviet Union, the hatch doors and other parts of the silo were made inoperable. Russia still retains inspection rights to ensure that it is not an active weapons facility and inspectors last visited in 2011. After touring the surface, you exit the museum through the gift shop. Here you purchase genuine pieces of Cold War history, like “civil defense yellow” survey meters, emergency drinking water and scrap from the decommissioned missile. It feels odd looking at parts of a nuclear weapon being sold in a backwoods gift shop, but maybe it’s a reminder to never let tensions get this high again. The Titan Missile Muesum is a humbling experience located half an hour way from the UA campus in Sahuarita, Ariz. It offers riveting and fun tours every hour from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Admission to this must-see experience is $9.50 for adults and worth every penny. More information can be found on its website at titanmissilemuseum.org.

Historical recap of September Cristien Keeme-Sayre

Sept. 2, 1752: The British

switched from using the Julian calendar to using the Gregorian calendar. This caused the next day to move ahead by 11 days, and the correction caused citizens to riot because they felt cheated and demanded to have the missing 11 days back.

Sept. 3, 1783:

John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and John Jay signed the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary

War between the U.S. and Britain.

Sept. 5, 1997: At age 87,

Mother Teresa died in Calcutta. She was known for spending her life aiding the poor in India through her Missionaries of Charity order.

Sept. 9, 1776: The Second

Continental Congress changed America’s name from the United Colonies to the United States of America.

Sept. 13, 1814: The Battle

of Fort McHenry in Baltimore harbor took place. Francis Scott Key bore witness to the attack and at dawn saw the American flag still raised, which inspired him to write what is now our national anthem. Interestingly, the anthem is also tied together with the tune of a well-known drinking song at the time.

Sept. 14, 1741:

After 23 days of working non-stop, George Frideric Handel finished composing his piece known as

“Messiah.”

Sept. 14, 1812: Napoleon

Bonaparte began his retreat from Russia, which led to one of the greatest misadventures of military history. Of the original 500,000 men with him, approximately 20,000 survived.

Sept. 16, 1810:

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla told the local Native Americans to “recover from the hated Spaniards the land stolen from your forefathers.” This

Sept. 18, 1810:

Chile finally obtained independence after being a Spanish colony for 269 years.

Sept. 19, 1893:

New Zealand granted women the right to vote, becoming the first country to do so.

Julie Orrico continues sewing together a new monster doll in her home work space on Thursday. Based in Tucson, Orrico crafts handmade puppets, dolls and art dolls that have been sent around the world as gifts from Tokyo to Afghanistan.

Puppet maker’s craft matches big heart

Alexandra Paletta

ulie Orrico is the creative head behind the self-made puppet business frequently showcased during downtown Tucson’s Second Saturdays, inside a kiosk at DavisMonthan Air Force Base and most recently at the upcoming Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair. Painting by age 8, art has always been an important part of this Tucson native’s life, eventually leading her to puppet making. After honing her craft for six years, Orrico, age 35, was inspired to create by participating in theater programs growing up, making costumes and set designs backstage. She also has extensive background in cartooning and animation. While preferring not to take center stage, her carefully-fashioned felt and fleece creations are certainly worth some recognition. The puppets are a culmination of her imaginative pursuits, highlighting an innate knack for her unique skill. Julie’s Puppets started modestly with Julie taking suggestions from interested shoppers. “I’ve been asked to make puppets for speech therapists, teachers and storytellers,” Orrico said. She has even created specially made puppets with tongues for speech therapy classes. The visual of a puppet can be helpful and comforting for reaching shy children. Orrico’s puppets possess more than mere aesthetics, as they can function as important learning tools. Her latest project included creating a Goldendoodle puppy puppet for Gabriel’s Angels therapists, a pet therapy center for at-

risk and abused children. Orrico said one of her goals with her creations is to encourage kids to use their imagination in a world where technology is quickly outpacing the classic toy. Her more stylish pieces are for the older crowd. Orrico has designed more adultoriented puppets, including Tim Burtonstyle dolls, anthropomorphic animals of all kinds and goth-dressed chihuahuas, to name a few. She finds her materials from craft and fabric stores encompassing a variety of themes and seasonal requests. She has two styles of puppet: flat hand or muppet. All are fashioned from polar fleece or felt, as well as her doll-style puppets. Embroidery and paint fashion the dolls’ faces, intricately made from different mediums. As her subjects are so diverse, Orrico researches prior to crafting in order to make her creations as authentic as possible. She also draws from personal experience; she created a London punk art doll from memories of an old family trip to England. Even her puppets have travelled, with one creation accompanying a soldier to Afghanistan and serving as the mascot for the battalion. Some of her other puppets have even made it as far as Tokyo, showcasing her art to a wider audience. Wearing her artistic heart on her strings, Orrico is certainly a marionette mistress of the muses. Just like her puppets, she is truly one of a kind.

Local hero dramatized on stage The life of Daniel Hernandez was permanently changed on Jan. 8, 2011, when an assassin opened fire in a Tucson parking lot. Three years later, Hernandez’s story is being staged by Borderlands Theater in the new play “They Call Me a Hero.”

Kevin C. Reagan

ometimes it takes a tragedy to uncover some humanity. This is a reoccurring pattern seen in the new play “They Call Me a Hero” at Borderlands Theater. Circulating around the events of Jan. 8, 2011, which left six Tucson residents dead and another 13 wounded in a Safeway parking lot, the play focuses on the events that led 20-year-old Daniel Hernandez to take action in saving former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords after she suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Hernandez, a UA almnus, had been working as an intern in Giffords’ district office at the time of the shooting. Based closely on Hernandez’s 2013 memoir, “They Call Me a Hero: A Memoir of My Youth,” playwright Guillermo Reyes, a professor at Arizona State University, has adapted the book into a fastpaced narrative consisting of various vignettes that stage specific milestones of Hernandez’s upbringing in Tucson. As a writer who is more prone to comedy, Reyes said he had to adopt a different approach when he first began writing the play just over a year ago. Studying the Pima County Sheriff’s report from the day of the shooting and YouTube videos of assassin Jared Lee Loughner, Reyes was able to reconstruct the real-life trauma for a play he categorizes as a “docu-drama.” “It’s a cathartic experience for people who lived through the event,” Reyes said. The play starts with a reenactment of the events that happened on Jan. 8, 2011, then reverses through a series of flashbacks that slowly put the pieces together of how and why Hernandez responded the way he did on that fateful day. Depicting intimate moments with Hernandez and his MexicanAmerican family, as well as revealing Hernandez’s training in nursing school, the story is meant to unravel the life moments that played a role in how he was able to help save Giffords’ life. “When those skills were needed, they were there,” said Luke Salcido, the actor portraying Hernandez

in “They Call Me a Hero.” Salcido described his character as a notso-typical type of hero: a Latino, homosexual college student. Salcido said he thinks this characterization of heroism will be new to audiences. The issue of Hernandez’s sexual identity is not portrayed as a stigma, according to director Barclay Goldsmith. The scene when Hernandez comes out to his parents is meant to be encouraging, Smith said, and his parents’ unquestionable acceptance alludes to a significant, character-building moment in Hernandez’s life. “[The play] teaches us to respect the blocks that build a community,” said Goldsmith, who has been with Borderlands Theater since its opening in 1986.

Goldsmith said there was some difficulty directing a sevenmember ensemble to portray the 20 different characters featured throughout “They Call Me a Hero.” For instance, the actress playing Giffords in one scene must transition into playing the mother of Loughner in the next. Goldsmith even had the actor playing Loughner meet with a psychiatrist, so he could get a better understanding of the character’s cognitive complexities. According to Reyes, his play is not meant to sway the audience into thinking about any of the issues related to the event, such as gun control. “The issues behind it will reveal themselves,” Reyes said. “We did not want to burden it with politics.” After the play premieres at

Borderlands Theater, Reyes said that he plans to make some revisions before sending the play off to inquiries he’s been getting from New York City and Los Angeles. Reyes said the play’s universal message of hope will find an audience outside of Tucson. Though the residents of Tucson, who still remember the tragic event of Jan. 8, 2011, may find this play hard to digest, some may also find closure in seeing it artistically reinterpreted. “Sometimes, a community needs to give tribute to the past,” Goldsmith said, “and sometimes, a community just needs to grieve.”

OUT OF THE BOX Tucson’s most creative artists come together to flaunt their cardboard crafting skills in a charity event to benefit the All Souls Procession

Victoria Pereira

or one night only, hundreds of people from all walks of life will don their most avant-garde, out-of-thisworld, homemade attire made from glue, paint and cardboard. In an effort to raise money for the All Souls Procession and the Many Mouths One Stomach organization, the Cardboard Ball is a charity event that invites locals to get creative and crafty with recycled materials. MMOS is an organization made up of Tucson artists, teachers and community members whose goal is, according to its website, “to create, inspire, manifest and perpetuate modern festal culture.” Festal culture deals with the expression of basic human needs through festival-type celebrations and rituals within the community. For MMOS, this specific need is to honor those who have passed on, which is where the idea for the All Souls Procession first came about. The All Souls Procession is an annual event that has taken place in Tucson for the past 24 years and was founded by Susan Johnson and Mykl Wells in 1990. Inspired by the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos, the All Souls Procession parades through town once a year

“when you give people the opportunity to express themselves, remarkable things happen.”

There will also be live music, food and drink and the promise of a good time for all in attendance. So far, between 200 and 250 tickets have been purchased in advance, and Wells and Ford are expecting attendance to exceed 400 people. Months of preparation and planning have gone into creating the Cardboard Ball both by Wells, who is solely in charge of the fundraiser, and by the artists who will exhibit their outfits. Wells has dedicated a very large amount of his time and energy into putting together the Cardboard Ball, and due to other commitments, it sometimes proves to be a struggle. The final reward, however, makes it all worth it. “When you give people the opportunity to express themselves, remarkable things happen,” Wells said. “I never know what to expect. I most enjoy seeing people having fun being inspired and inspiring each other.” The Cardboard Ball will be held at the Maker House in downtown Tucson on Saturday beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance from Yikes Toy Store, Pop-Cycle and Maker House for $10 and at the door for $15, with all proceeds benefiting the All Souls Procession and its community workshops. — Follow Victoria Pereira @DailyWildcat

Tucson residents participated in last year’s Cardboard Ball, a fundraiser for the All Souls Procession Workshops. The event encourages attendees to wear cardboard or other handmade fashions out of recycled material. Last year, local artists had cardboard themed art for sale and donated art for a raffle. This year’s Cardboard Ball will be at the Maker House in downtown Tucson.

New albums branch out talent IVANA GOLDTOOTH

A Lady finds her prince

s peculiar as this may sound, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga just released a jazz duet album this last Tuesday. The result is 16 tracks of infused finesse and youthful energy. The album begins with the pre-released song that was available for purchase on iTunes, “Anything Goes.” Here, it is established that the two sing with and around each other in a synchronous act. The beat of the song breathes an image of a smoke-filled bar with patrons sipping glasses of scotch. Don’t be too surprised after listening to the first song that the Lady Gaga is singing jazz. It’s not her first duet with Tony Bennett, nor the first time she’s sung jazz, either, according to an interview with National Public Radio. Her first duet with Bennett was in 2011 on his album Duets II in an equally energized song, “The Lady is a Tramp.” Even then, the enthusiasm of singing next to Bennett comes out in the song and transfers into their rapport as the two work off one another. Gaga told NPR that singing with autotune and electronic music can be difficult at times because it’s not natural. In the album, you can hear how freely she sings, along with the invigorating vitality expressed in the songs. As she sings in “Cheek to Cheek,” she and Bennett are obviously “in heaven.” “She’s actually a very authentic jazz singer,” said Bennett about Lady Gaga in an interview with NPR. “She’ll make it different because of the moment she’s singing. And so, what happens is it keeps the songs alive.”

Bennett also said that due to this ability, Gaga brings a sense of intimacy to the album and it seems to last forever. But what did Gaga think of her companion? She said when they are not singing together, she sits away from him and watches him sing and perform. “I love watching [him] perform,” she said in her interview. “He’s brought out a subtlety in me that I’ve missed for a while, because my life is very noisy.” A subtlety expressed through the mentioned intimacy Gaga has built in songs such as “Cheek to Cheek,” “Lush Life,” “Nature Boy,” “But Beautiful” and in the bonus track, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).” Their soft-spoken words seem to seep into one’s ear like velvet. Bennett also establishes a close intimacy in the song “Sophisticated Lady,” where his voice crackles with age and e m o t i o n , LADYGAGA.COM adding to the authenticity that he is speaking to his female companion and his listeners. This effect adds to the overall enjoyment of the song. As if the duo could hear the doubtful criticisms of this album, the duet’s songs “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love,” “Goody Goody” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” expresses their contentment and skillful ability to sing jazz.

All grown up, and proud of it

n Sept. 23, Jackie Evancho’s new album was released with its bold title: Awakening. It has been two years since America has last heard from the 14-year-old when she released her album, Songs from the Silver Screen, which composed of tracks from films within Evancho’s age range. Her new album differs from the other in the sense she is modeling it to suit her. It helps that her voice has matured in the two years since her last album, t h e r e b y allowing her to attempt other genres. “As I get older, my voice is allowing me to sing other genres,” said Evancho, in an interview with the Huffington Post. “But its always been classical crossover or maybe opera, but I could never pull off pop. It’s only recently that I’ve been able to.” This is evident in tracks such as “With or Without You” from U2 and “Je T’aime” from the French singer Lara Fabian. In these tracks, Evancho shows her fans she’s stretching her wings with different styles and expanding her vocal range. This is as close to pop that she gets in this album, and she held her own for a first effort. Other contemporary examples are “Your Love” from Ennio Morricone, “Memories” from Within Temptation and “The Rains of Castamere” from the TV show “Game of Thrones.” As a fan of Within Temptation, I enjoyed Evancho’s rendition of “Memories,” because it shows how far she’s venturing from her comfort zone as she takes a gander at symphonic metal — even though this is one of the band’s slowerpaced songs. In this version, the song is

paced differently because of Evancho’s singing style. The synthesizers used to create a beat in the background add a mystifying aesthetic and make it less dark. Those who are not fans of classical crossover songs can find other songs on the album to enjoy, but the 14-year-old would not be here if she didn’t have at least one song from her beloved inspiration, “The Phantom of the Opera,” composed by Sir Andrew L l o y d Webber. The first song on the album is “Think of Me” from the 2004 feature film that was adapted from the musical. Of course, this version cuts out the parts of the Italian diva Carlotta and Raoul, and we are left to JACKIEEVANCHO.COM focus solely on Evancho’s voice. The cadenza in the aria gives her some maturity and shows her vocal range and control over the pitch. To show how much her voice has developed, the album has the songs “Ave Maria,” “Dormi Jesu” and “Vocalise, Op. 34 No. 14” to showcase her progress. The latter song alone requires sustained words or phrases for great lengths of time. The songs’ versatility shows fans that Evancho is branching out with her voice, showing her “awakening” as a musician. “[It’s] why the CD is called ‘Awakening,’” said Evancho on the “Today Show.” “It’s about me awakening as an artist and becoming more mature.”

Maze Runner: Dual Perspective Two reviews of the same film, but from two different perspectives. In one corner, there is film expert Alex Guyton giving his assessment of this latest young adult franchise. In the other, English major Mia Moran offers her literary judgments as someone who has read the book before watching this film adaptation.

MIA MORAN

f you combined “Lord of the Flies” and “The Hunger Games,” you’d end up with the film adaptation of James Dashner’s “The Maze Runner,” the most recent addition to the overwhelmingly popular young adult dystopian genre. I finished reading “The Maze Runner” after intermittently reading the novel for nearly a year. It was hard to get into until the last quarter of the book, which was fastpaced, thrilling and nearly impossible to put down. I read the last sentence and yearned to read the sequel, “The Scorch Trials” — if only to comprehend what had actually happened in the story. After watching the film adaptation, I was left feeling the exact same way. “The Maze Runner” follows Thomas (Dylan O’Brien), a teenager trapped in an area called the Glade with several dozen other boys. They have no memories or contact with the outside world, and their attempts to escape from the everchanging maze that surrounds them have proved futile after three years. It’s not until Thomas comes up the metal elevator that provides them a monthly ration of food and supplies that things begin to change. What the film improves upon from the novel is pacing. The hardest part about getting through the beginning of the book was becoming acquainted with the members of the Glade, the unending questions from Thomas and learning about the maze and the dangerous Grievers that live inside. The movie condenses much of the world building, which takes up more space in print than it does visually and streamlines the plot to highlight the most action-filled bits from the book. The problem with both the novel and the film, however, is having a cast of characters without memories. Without any record of why they got there, it’s hard to sympathize with the characters’ struggles without knowing what the stakes are. It makes for a detached narrative driven solely by the hope the boys will escape and answers will be provided to them and the audience. What the film lacks in its emotional connection is compensated for in nonstop, third-act action. As soon as the havoc begins, it’s a relentless ride to the end and to long-awaited answers. I’ll forewarn any fellow readers of the novel that there are small, but significant, changes to the ending that slightly sanitized the novel’s conclusion. But with

both versions, the answers come too late and too quickly, and there’s not much time to get over the shock factor. There were several changes in the film that were welcome improvements from the novel. The Grievers were far more menacing than how they were described in the book, and the omission of telepathy between two of the characters gave the story a stronger grounding in reality. For avid fans who can accept a few changes made from book to screen, “The Maze Runner” movie is a satisfying interpretation of its source material.

ALEX GUYTON

e’re still living in the shadow of the boy wizard. Ever since “Harry Potter” became the third-highest grossing film franchise of alltime, Hollywood has been trying to recreate the box office magic by adapting young adult fiction novels to the big screen. Post-“Harry Potter” and post-“Twilight,” we’ve entered into a new young adult adaptation phase. 2010’s “The Hunger Games” and its 2012 sequel “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” ushered in the “bleak, dystopian world,” with “Divergent” following suit in 2014. With “The Maze Runner” throwing its hat into the ring, there are now three major, similarly-themed franchises, the “Big Three,”

20TH CENTURY FOX

in play. Skeptical questions accompany each new release. Has the tipping point been reached? Have we broken carrying capacity? Thankfully, “The Maze Runner” has not tipped the scales, due in large part to its fresh approach. Remembering nothing but his name, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) arrives in a large, verdant glade via freight elevator. A society of boys, all of whom arrived in the Glade the same way as Thomas, co-exist in a huntergatherer situation. The class-based societies and authoritarian governments of “Divergent” and “The Hunger Games” are gone. This isn’t “1984” or “Brave New World” so much as it is “Lord of the Flies.” It’s gritty and human. It’s also refreshing to see something as anomalous as a peaceful patch of fields and forests — in place of sterile gray cities and dirty gray districts. In the line of adapted young adult fiction, this film is the best looking since the later, gorgeous installments of the “Harry Potter” films. An ever-shifting maze encloses the Glade, trapping the boys. They’ve been held prisoner in paradise for three years, and there’s no end in sight, until Thomas shows up. A great sense of mystery permeates the whole film. When the sun sets, ominous, unknown bumps in the night can be heard from the Maze, and there are still the questions of why the boys are there and who put them there. O’Brien as Thomas makes for an earnest, likable lead. However, this film pales in comparison to its young adult brethren in terms of female roles, especially considering the other films have strong characters played by today’s best young actresses. “The Hunger Games” has Jennifer Lawrence, and “Divergent” has Shailene Woodley. What makes this even more of a shame is that if you’ve seen the British TV show “Skins,” you know Kaya Scodelario can be a force. Here’s hoping she gets more to chew on in the sequel. The premise of the film, boys trapped in a glade surrounded by an ominous maze, is so basic that it almost feels allegorical, like a Greek myth. That’s why it’s something of a disappointment when the explanatory revelations start coming in droves at the end. Of the Big Three young adult franchises, I most want to return to the world of “The Maze Runner.” However, the ending teased a world that seems more in line with the other dystopian franchises. Hopefully, the sequel can maintain the fresh approach established by this film. — Follow Alex Guyton @GuyTonAlexAnder

Phoenix makes Bledsoe decision T

here’s no doubt Eric Bledsoe is a vital player the Phoenix Suns need in order to succeed in the foreseeable future. According to multiple reports, Phoenix and Bledsoe agreed to a five-year, $70 million Roberto Payne deal on Wednesday, ending a contract stalemate that looked irreparable at times. In coming to an agreement, Bledsoe lowered his demands from his original fiveyear, $80 million max-contract demands, and Phoenix increased its offer from four years and $48 million. How is it that Phoenix changed its stance so drastically after standing pat all offseason on that $48 million offer? Well, mainly two things. First, the Minnesota Timberwolves attempted to execute a sign-and-trade for Bledsoe about a week ago. The T-Wolves planned to offer him a max-contract in the range of four years, $63 million, but didn’t have the cap space to sign Bledsoe outright. Therefore, a sign-and-trade was Minnesota’s only option. Minnesota has a few high-ceiling young prospects that Phoenix surely would’ve loved to acquire, but it was obvious that neither Andrew Wiggins nor Zach LaVine would be included in any potential deal. Not surprisingly, reports out of Phoenix had the

organization declining all interest in a signand-trade with Minnesota. Luckily for the Suns, Phoenix general manager Ryan McDonough is way too smart to deal Bledsoe for anything less than an all-star caliber player or a future franchise cornerstone. However, there was finally a second bidder for Bledsoe’s services. Second, a new league-wide television rights deal is coming around 2016, and the salary cap is going to increase significantly. According to a CBS Sports report, the NBA is expected to more than double the current $930 million television rights deal. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the salary cap raised $20 million from the current $63.065 million level in a handful of seasons. From Phoenix’s perspective, the influx of cash will make it easier to keep Bledsoe at the $70 million deal and still have room to improve the team accordingly. When you factor in Bledsoe’s projected career arc and the NBA’s copious amounts of point guard talent, it could actually be a bargain. Especially when you consider point guards such as Kyle Lowry, who’s serviceable but not great, get deals with an average annual value around $12 million. There are currently 13 point guards with base salaries over $10 million next season, more than any other position other than center. But centers are overpaid, anyway — you know the whole you-can’t-teach-height model. How else would a Shaqtin’ A Fool legend like JaVale McGee have a 2014-15 base

salary over $11 million? Essentially, point guard salaries are increasing as organizations find out it’s tough to win many games without an all-star-caliber point guard. That is if you don’t have a LeBron James or Kevin Durant type player on your team, which happens to be true for 28 NBA teams. Bledsoe’s deal could have gone up in the hundreds of millions if the team waited, so it looks like Phoenix made the right deal.

Derek Jeter goes out with a bang

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter (2) played the last home game of his illustrious career on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Fittingly, the 40-year-old ended the game with a walk-off single to end the game in the bottom of the ninth inning.

t’s the end of an era. The Captain officially played his last home game as a member of the New York Yankees on Thursday. Derek Jeter, 40, ended the game as he started: with

an bang. With an ending that felt like it was scripted in Hollywood, the New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 behind Jeter’s walkoff single in the bottom of the ninth inning. Jeter finished the game 2-for-5 with three RBIs, one run scored and over

50,000 fans watching live as he walked off Yankee Stadium victorious for the final time. He has been a Yankee mainstay since he was a baby-faced 21-year-old and played 15 games in the 1995 season. Jeter will likely finish sixth all-time in hits with close to 3,500 and five World Series championships. Jeter ended up playing 157 games in his second season, won his first World Series championship and was named Rookie of the Year. Just a few years later, the Yankees won back-to-back World Series championships, and Jeter was in top form. His offensive production from the shortstop position set the standard in the MLB, and his athletic defense proved the Captain could do it all. His 1999-2000 season was one of his best and saw Jeter hit .349 with 24 home runs, 102 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. Off the field, Jeter has been the standard young ballplayers were supposed to emulate. He has been described universally as a role model and someone who transcends an era. Despite having legendary offensive players like Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth,

This could easily turn into a Stephen Currytype situation where injuries scarred but did not stop the organization from extending a young player with all-star potential. If that is the case, Phoenix will be in good shape for the next five years or so.

Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Yogi Berra and Reggie Jackson play for New York, Jeter is among the Yankees’ all-time leaders in hits, batting average, RBIs, doubles, triples, at-bats and stolen bases. Jeter is the closest thing to an institution that the game has seen in the past 20 years. Numerous commercials were made to commemorate his retirement with slogans like Re2pect headlining. The Yankees have been officially eliminated from playoff contention this year, so we won’t get another chance to see Mr. November go for one final run. However, New York ends its season with a three-game road series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. In a perfect twist of fate, Jeter will finish his career against the Yanks’ archrival and gets a chance to burn the Red Sox one last time. Cherish these last few games, because there will never be another Derek Jeter. — Follow Roberto Payne @HouseofPayne555

Cross country take step forward Ezra Amacher The Arizona men’s and women’s cross country teams will open up the competitive stretch of the season on Friday as they compete in the Virginia/ Panorama Farms Invitational. After sweeping their home meet last week, the Wildcats are looking to make a mark nationally when they take on a number of East Coast programs, including Auburn, Clemson, Duke (M), and Virginia. “This is really our first meet that the competition is going to be very tough,” UA head coach James Li said. “It will be a big test for us.” While the men and women both looked impressive facing local competition, Li said the team still isn’t where it needs to be. Racing against quality opponents should provide a good measuring stick. “We need to be in more competitions,” Li said. “Being in good shape is one thing. Being able to race at a top level is a different story.” The two teams are not ranked in

the national polls, but that could change with a strong showing. “It’s not a make it or die type of situation,” Li said, “but it will be a good opportunity for our team to grow.” Sophomore Collins Kibet and senior Sam Macaluso led the Arizona men in the 8,000 meter race after finishing first and second, respectively, at the home meet last week. “Last week was a benchmark for us to know what else we need to work on,” Kibet said. “Right now, we’re working on getting stronger [and] going to the gym regularly. We want to be able to keep up with the pace.” Leading the pack for the women will be senior Kristina Aubert, who has already won two races in dominating fashion. A transfer from Arkansas State, Aubert is a key addition to a team aiming to defend its Pac-12 Conference title. “It’s been awesome,” said Aubert of her time in Tucson. “There are so many of us at the same level that it’s easier to get

through training.” That training has paid off for Aubert in the form of two firstplace finishes, each by around 40 seconds. However, Aubert emphasized that the focus on Friday is to finish together as a

team and less on individual times. “We want a good showing from our one through five [runners],” said Aubert. “The goal is to finish 45-60 seconds of one another. We can’t control how other teams are going to do, so we just need to run

our own race.”

UA hosts ranked Women of Troy Brian Peel After rolling through its nonconference schedule, Arizona soccer will begin its Pac-12 Conference season this Friday when the Wildcats face No. 21 USC at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium at 2 p.m. Last weekend, the Wildcats (6-1-1) concluded one of their best nonconference starts in program history when they defeated Lipscomb and Idaho. Arizona has now won four matches in a row and is undefeated in its last six games. Going into conference play on Friday, the Wildcats are near the middle of the Pac-12 in most offensive and defensive categories as a team, but individually, freshman midfielder Gabi Stoian is tied for first in total points with 18 and is also tied for second in goals scored with seven. Senior forward Alexandra Doller is third in the conference in shots with 33. Senior goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman said she feels the team is ready for Pac-12 play to start. “In nonconference play, we’ve played a lot

of competitive teams, like Texas A&M, which is good, because those are the kind of teams we are expecting to see in the Pac-12,” Kaufman said. “This is a really exciting time for our program, because we’re now able to compete with those teams and really give them a run for their money.” Friday afternoon’s tilt with No. 21 USC will match Arizona’s tough defense with not only one of the best offenses in the Pac-12 but the country as well. USC has scored 29 goals as a team this year for a 3.22 per game average, first in the conference and 11th in the country. The Women of Troy come into Friday’s matchup with the Wildcats with a record of 6-1-2 but dropped their last game against then-No. 12 Pepperdine 2-1 on Sunday. USC has had several players make big contributions offensively this season, including senior midfielder Alex Quincey and junior midfielder Jamie Fink, who have combined for 11 goals this season. Sophomore forward Kayla Mills, who has two goals and two assists on the year, also happens to play for the U.S. Under-20 National

Team. Last season, sophomore defender Mandy Freeman was named an All-Pac-12 First Team member as a freshman. Arizona head coach Tony Amato said he’s confident in his team but knows USC will be a tough game. “They’re a good team,” Amato said. “They’re ranked in the top 25 in the country, so we know they’ve had a good run of games and they have

a lot of talented players. We feel like we go into every game with the idea that we can win it, and we know we can win this one. It’s going to take a lot of energy and hard work and passion, but we think we can get it done.”

Arizona sophomore outside hitter Ashley Harris (17) spikes the ball between ASU junior middle blocker Andi Lowrance (15) and ASU sophomore outside hitter BreElle Bailey (11) during Arizona’s win over the Sun Devils on ednesday in McKale Center. The Wildcats play UCLA on the road in their first Pac-12 Conference road game of the season.

Arizona plays unique road game The Wildcats face UCLA at Pepperdine after Pauley Pavilion flooded over the summer and became unusable Evan Rosenfeld No. 18 Arizona volleyball returns to action this Friday when it travels to take on No. 20 UCLA at Pepperdine University in Malibu. The match will take place at Pepperdine’s Firestone Fieldhouse due to the Sunset Boulevard water main break, which caused flooding inside Pauley Pavilion earlier this summer. Fresh off a gritty five-set victory over intrastate rival No. 19 ASU, the Wildcats (12-1, 1-0 Pac-12 Conference) hope to keep their six-game winning streak alive with a strong showing in Southern California.

While Arizona has won four of the past six matchups against UCLA — with three of those four coming when UCLA was ranked as a topfive team — the Bruins dominate the series history with a 54-22-1 game advantage over the UA. Last season, Arizona split the series with UCLA, serving up a three-set sweep at home just to be swept 3-0 in Westwood later in the season. In the Wildcats’ duel against ASU this Wednesday, senior outside hitter Madi Kingdon committed 15 of Arizona’s 31 attack errors and two of its five service errors. Statistically, it was her worst match of the year. Despite the fact that she recorded

her fourth double-double of the season, led the team in kills (20) and tied her season-high of 15 digs, she finished the night with an abysmal .066 hitting percentage. “I don’t think we’re going to get away with too many matches without Madi scoring,” UA head coach Dave Rubio said after the match against ASU. “She just couldn’t get anything going offensively tonight.” Rubio said that against UCLA, the team would have to be more aggressive and do a better job at scoring and being stronger in the middle. While redshirt freshman middle blocker McKenzie Jacobson and sophomore outside hitter Ashley

Harris have given the Wildcats needed support in the middle against ASU, Rubio said the squad still feels the void left by senior middle blocker Rachel Rhoades. As of Wednesday night, Rhoades has still not yet been cleared by Arizona personnel after suffering a concussion two weeks ago. The Bruins (10-2, 1-0 Pac-12), who most recently swept No. 9 USC in straight sets (25-23, 25-13, 27-25) at Galen Center this Tuesday, will return home to face the UA with added confidence and momentum. “They’ve got maybe the best scorer in the country with Karsta Lowe,” Rubio added. “She’s fantastic and pretty impressive, so we’re

going to have to try and slow her down if we can.” Lowe is a averaging a Pac-12 leading 6.26 kills per set and ranks No. 1 in the conference in scoring with an average of seven points per set. Additionally, Bruins senior setter Julie Consani leads the Pac-12 in assists (12.24 per game). “I think it’s going to be a tough matchup,” Kingdon said. “If we’re able to take care of business with [Lowe] and if we play a little cleaner than we did [against ASU], then we should have a good chance at beating them.” — Follow Evan Rosenfeld @EvanRosenfeld17
