Grumpy Cat takes over baseball

BY Victoria Teplitz The Daily Wildcat

Major League Baseball history will be made this holiday weekend­—by a grump.

The Internet star, Tardar Sauce, also known as Grumpy Cat, will take Chase Field to throw the ceremonial first pitch at Monday’s Diamondbacks game.

A cat giving the first pitch may seem impossible to most people. No one knows exactly how this feline will master the throw, but Grumpy seems to have it all under control, according to Tabatha Bundesen, Grumpy Cat’s owner.

“You will have to come and see, but you might be surprised at how strong her pitching paw really is,” Bundesen said.

When it comes to recreational sports, Grumpy Cat is just like any other cat.

“Tardar Sauce is not as athletic during the day, unless cat napping is a sport,” Bundesen said. She mentioned that Tardar Sauce, like most cats, is more active at night.

Grumpy Cat was just fitted for her own Madame Tussauds wax statue, which will be debuting later in the year, according to Time Magazine’s website. The cat also has her own trademarked coffee “Grumpuccino” and 2 books, “Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book” and “The Grumpy Guide To Life: Observations made by Grumpy Cat,” available on her website and also in select bookstores.

It is certain that this cat has dubbed herself a superstar amongst the animal kingdom, primarily for her distinct look. Though the cat may look grumpy—but what cat doesn’t?—Tardar Sauce isn’t just praised for being famous but for being recognized as a great companion to Bundesen.

“She really is the sweetest cat I’ve ever had,” Bundesen said. “When we are traveling together, she always claims the pillow right next to mine. It’s super sweet.”

When asked for advice on how fellow catlovers could better their photo skills with their own cats, Bundesen responded.

“Photographing cats is like sports photography; cats are on the move, so you [have] to continuously shoot.”

Though this cat—described by Bundesen as “born for the camera”—may clearly outnumber others in the amount of memes and photos liked, reblogged and retweeted, it is not the only trending cat on the Internet.

The San Francisco Giants, which will play against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday, actually has its own version of Grumpy Cat named Skeeter, who is owned

by Giants major league player Matt Duffy.

“If you go online and search Matt Duffy and Skeeter, you’ll see Skeeter, who’s this absolute gigantic cat,” said Shana Daum,

only way to get these Grumpy Cat meet-andgreet tickets is to go to Dbacks.com/grumpy.

[With] the regular tickets, you won’t get the meet and greet.”

The history of baseball is vast, and no one can be sure if this is the first cat to ever throw the honorary first pitch for a major league baseball team.

“We are anxiously awaiting how she will throw that first pitch,” Rawitch said. ”Whether its throwing, cat-ching or just licking the ball we are going to find out. It’s a first, we believe, for the Diamondbacks, if you don’t count our mascot, which is a bobcat,” Rawitch said. “This is maybe a first for Chase Field.”

Whether it’s nine innings or nine lives, who’s counting? It seems that this cat will bring many cat lovers and fans to the game on Monday. Grumpy may impress the crowd with a strong paw and leave all the dogs out there with their jaws dropped.

“We got the Wildcats, our mascot, the bobcat, and now we got Grumpy Cat all part of the Diamondbacks,” Rawitch said.

The game is set to start on Monday at 1:10 p.m. For tickets and more information visit Dbacks.com/grumpy.

the vice president for public affairs and community relations for the San Francisco Giants.

Duffy took a photo of Skeeter and himself playing video games and posted it to his Instagram months ago. Photos of Skeeter and him have been trending since, according to Daum. Like Grumpy Cat’s “Grumpy Mondays”, Duffy captions #fatcatfridays on his Instagram pictures featuring Skeeter and him.

Skeeter happens to be a bigger cat, which is quite fitting given that a “Giants” player has a “large” cat. Daum laughed at the thought and said, “It’s fun to have these great prominences; our fans like cats, too.”

Josh Rawitch, the senior vice president of communications for the Arizona Diamondbacks, also expressed his joy at the growing trend of felines in baseball. “We are really excited to have one of the Internet’s sensations be a part of our first pitch ceremony on Labor Day,” he said.

Tickets to the game range from $15 to $50, and there is a limited availability, so it is important to get yours soon, Rawitch said.

Grumpy Cat will be available for a meetand-greet session to those who purchase the tickets using the promo code ‘GRUMPY’ according to the team’s site.

Bundensen even stressed, “The most important thing I want to get across is the

Looking for something with a little more action and excitement than a night in the desert? Try the 100th annual Sonoita Labor Day Rodeo. Located about an hour south of Tucson in the small town of Santa Cruz, the rodeo is a bit of a drive. However, the Sonoita Labor Day Rodeo is the ideal destination for rodeo enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Members of the Grand Canyon Professional Rodeo Association will be competing in all eight of the various rodeo events from Saturday to Monday beginning at 2 p.m. each day.

The competitors will be vying for their cut of the $40,000 of cash and buckles that will be awarded to the winners of the events.

“A fun part for people that have never been to a rodeo before is always the roughstock,” said Kristin Tomlinson, one of four GCPRA rodeo directors. “The saddle bronc, the bareback, the

For those who like to dress up, Saturday’s Steampunk parade and Sunday’s 1880s costume contest are sure to please. The whole event is free, although the Vigilantes will be accepting donations to contribute to the various charities they support, including Tombstone’s no-kill animal shelter, senior center and food bank, among others.

“We just like to get out … and do the performing,” said Jeff Miller, the chief of the Vigilantes and a member since 1993. “We are the official ambassadors of Tombstone.”

Whether you’re taking a trip to the Wild West, exploring desert life or rocking out downtown, one thing is for sure: there’s no excuse for being bored this Labor Day weekend.

Along with the professional rodeo events, the Sonoita Labor Day Rodeo also includes a Junior Rodeo. Children between the ages of 3 and 16 can participate in a number of different rodeo events with no experience necessary.

At 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday night, the rodeo contestants and the spectators will be welcomed to the steak fry and rodeo dance to finish off the day’s activities. Admission is $15 a day for adults and parking is free.

Keep heading east after visiting the rodeo and stop off in Tombstone for a Wild West showdown. The Tombstone Vigilantes, a nonprofit reenactment group that has been around since the late 1940s, is hosting the second annual Showdown in Tombstone.

The Vigilantes normally perform two to three Sundays of the month, but this weekend they’re going all out.

Each day, the Vigilantes will be performing various different reenactments on Allen Street

Labor Day weekend has always been a time when people of all ages make a beeline to their closest coastline, but for those trapped in Arizona, the options may seem a bit limited. Dig a little deeper into the community calendars, however, and one can find a handful of events that will make the weekend legendary.

The Hotel Congress in downtown Tucson is holding its annual HoCo Fest. This year’s fest is sure to be unforgettable; not only is this the 11th year of the festival, but it is also Club Congress’s 30th anniversary. To celebrate in style, the club will be packed with musical groups from Hotel Congress’s past and present, including Roger Clyne, Pollo Elastico and over 45 more performing from Friday to Sunday.

Internationally popular Mexrrissey, a band that takes Steven Morrissey music and gives it a Mexican twist, is performing on Latin night on Sunday as the weekend’s headlining act. In addition to all the performances, the Copper Hall will be home to a pop-up Tucson Rock and Roll Museum for Saturday only from 3 p.m. until 2 a.m.

“The whole crew have been gathering old posters and photos, newspaper clippings and all kinds of great stuff that kind of sum up the history [of Tucson’s rock music],” said Matt Baquet, the Club Congress booking liaison.

While Friday and Sunday each have an entrance fee of $12 and $15 respectively, Saturday is free to the public. Due to the serving of alcohol, all guests must be over 21, but those who are not of age and want to visit the pop-up museum can stop by before 6 p.m. Saturday.

For those looking for a more relaxing event to attend this weekend, look no further than the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Every Saturday night from June 6 to Sept. 5, the museum has hosted their Cool Summer Nights programs with a different theme each week. For their final weekend of the summer, the museum is inviting visitors to celebrate Mexican heritage through the End of Summer Fiesta.

Between 5-10 p.m. Saturday, there will be a myriad of events going on, from a mariachi performance by Los Changuitos Feos to bilingual presentations on the “Creatures of the

Lindy’s on 4th is a diner well known for its massive AZ Hooligan and OMFG burgers, creative specialty burgers and their assortment of fries, tots and rings.

Lindy’s website says it best: “If punk rock, heavy metal, Sinatra, tattoos, hot-rods, choppers, low riders, a lazy Sunday afternoon, hot ladies, and the man’s man were all put into a burger that was so good you’d slap your mama, that’s what were servin’ up in this place.”

One unique taste at Lindy’s is the Lindy’s sauce, a mix of thousand island and chipotle sauce put on its burgers to give them that extra flavor.

When asked about the atmosphere in Lindy’s, server Mila Young replied, “It’s very laid back here.

There’s always popular music or oldies playing.

We’re also local, so we have lots of regulars and people passing through, and [Lindy’s is] considered an icon in the community.”

If the name Lindy’s on 4th sounds familiar, it’s because Adam Richman of the TV show “Man V. Food” filmed an episode in which he took on the OMFG burger challenge.

During the time of filming, the challenge was

to finish a burger consisting of 12 beef patties and 12 pieces of cheese between two buns, and if it was finished under 20 minutes, the meal was free.

Richman was able to finish it, but it took him 44 minutes, meaning he had to pay the $20 cost of the burger.

“It’s rich. It’s really, really good,” Richman said while devouring the burger.

The rules regarding the challenge have changed since the episode’s filming. The burger now only has nine 1/3 pound patties, and competitors have 30 minutes to complete the challenge, but only finishing it in under 20 constitutes a free meal.

The overall price of the burger is $24.99 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity to any check with the burger on it.

For a burger demanding a similar appetite with reduced cost, the AZ Hooligan is five 1/3 pound patties at $15.50.

All of the diner’s other specialty burgers can be ordered for under that price depending on whether you order a single, double or triple patty.

Two famous examples of its specialty burgers are the Two Finger Peek-a-Boo and the Dirty Sanchez. The Two Finger Peek-a-Boo is a

BETHANY EVANS, a bartender at Bumsted’s and a UA alumna, prepares a drink for a customer on Monday, Aug. 31. Bumsted’s is located on 500 N 4th Ave.

BY EMMA JACKSON The Daily Wildcat

Bethany Evans, a bartender at Bumsted’s Diner on Fourth Avenue, gave the Daily Wildcat some insight regarding the day-today life of a downtown barkeep. Evans reveals a unique accomplishment of her own, as well as Bumsted’s own traditions and customers.

The Daily Wildcat: How long have you been bartending?

Bethany Evans: Five years.

How did you end up bartending here?

Let’s see… I got this job my senior year at the [UA]. I started out as a server and worked my way up to the bar from there.

Do you have a favorite drink to make?

Yeah, I like making Manhattans. Manhattans and Bloody Marys.

Do you have a most memorable customer?

Oh my gosh, I’ll have to think about that one. I have a lot of stories.

burger that has mushrooms, an onion ring, swiss and cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion sandwiched between two grilled cheeses. The Dirty Sanchez is a burger that’s not for the faint of heart and has diced green chilies, jalapeños, habaneros, pepper jack and guacamole.

Fries, tots and rings can be ordered in a basket or as a side and come in different varieties: plain jane, cheesy, gravy, chili cheese, hot & smothered, bacon ranch and loaded.

Its Facebook page is also full of rave reviews, two of which are highlighted below.

“One of the best places for a great bite to eat! [“Man V. Food”] opened my eyes and they weren’t wrong!” commented Nikita Economou.

“By far the best hole in the wall burger joint I’ve found anywhere,” reads a comment from Chris Plym.

Lindy’s is located on 431 N. Fourth Ave. and is open Mondays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Thursday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Sundays 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Barkeep from page 4

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen go down at a bar?

Oh, some of them I couldn’t even say because they’re not fit to print. I’ve seen people fall asleep at tables, all sorts of crazy stuff. “The Dating Game” is always pretty memorable.

What’s that?

We do a show once a month called “The Dating Game,” and we get like three contestants, and they can’t see the bachelor. He asks them questions [and] then picks one to go on a date with based off their answers to the questions. That’s always memorable.

Do you have any fun anecdotes?

In 2013 I won the Guinness Perfect Pint pouroff. I have a trophy! So they have this contest once a year for pouring Guinness, and that was the first one in Tucson. So you are speaking to an awardwinning Guinness pourer, which my parents are super proud of!

What do you appreciate in a customer?

I would say respect is the number-one thing that I appreciate—and decisiveness. Like if you don’t want to annoy the bartender, never go to the bar and not know what you want to drink. Like, I like it when someone’s like, “I want this.” Ya know? ’Cause that makes my job easier. If they’re having a good time, I’m having a good time. … I thought of a memorable customer. He was a regular that would come in every karaoke night, and he would always sing, like, classic Motown songs, and he would always dedicate them to the bartenders working and like bring down the house. He was so sweet, and he would give people rides home and stuff because he didn’t drink at all. He actually passed away this past summer.

His name was Berney Starks. Pretty much anyone who’s gone to karaoke in Tucson knows who he was and remembers him, for sure.

With the first semester of 2015 underway at the UA, the crowds are once again at an all-time high. As of May, Forbes lists the total student population to be roughly around 40,000, an absolutely staggering number and one that is good overall for the university.

Unfortunately, though, a number like that can only mean one thing: crowds, lots of them. So for those of you who may be craving a bit of free air and have an appetite for bicycling, Tucson offers many paved trails perfect for those who want some time away from the crowds. Below are three of the top trails Tucson has to offer.

The Loop Hosting over 100 miles of paved trails, The Loop is an absolute gem when it comes to cycling. UA Cycling Club President Joey Luliano said The Loop, which is made up of the Rillito, Santa Cruz, Julian Wash and Pantano Wash paths, is his favorite.

“It provides a good variety of uses. You can ride all the way into Marana if you have an errand to do up there, or you can hop on and do a bit over 60 miles with little to no interaction with cars.”

The Loop, which is the largest combined paved trail in Tucson, can be accessed from a variety of different locations, making it a convenient choice for cyclists.

Furthermore, facilities along the trail, such as restrooms and water fountains, serve as added benefits to those who wish to ride it. Additional information about The Loop and how to access it can be found online.

Aviation Bikeway Compared to The Loop, this 9.1 mile multi-use path is a bit on the sketchy side.

However, the trail’s relative proximity to the UA makes it a worthwhile option for those looking for a shorter route to ride.

Beginning near Iron Horse Park, Aviation Bikeway travels along Barraza Aviation Highway and down Golf Links Road.

Throughout your journey, you’ll wind your way through a rattlesnake-shaped tunnel and over some small bridges and streams.

Overall, the condition of the path varies, with the surface getting noticeably rougher toward the end of the route. However, the unique, urban-esque atmosphere of this trail makes it a definite “must try” for those craving a bit of adventure.

Sabino Canyon While not exactly a path, this list wouldn’t be complete without Sabino Canyon.

Without a doubt the most scenic trail of the three, this beautiful 7.4-mile stretch

of tarmac provides a one-of-a-kind experience for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Because the road is situated inside Coronado National Forest, most are charged an entrance fee of $5, but those who enter on bikes are allowed to roll into the park free of charge.

“What makes this path different from others is the pure beauty of the surrounding area. Unlike most bike paths around Tucson, our road provides a great uphill challenge for cyclists looking to get in a hardcore workout,” said Gregg Sasek, the trails and wilderness field manager for Sabino Canyon .

The park is open to riders before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and also includes water fountains and restrooms.

Overall, Tucson offers a vast array of satisfying trails to appease even the hungriest of roadies. However, the unique terrain, lack of cars and varying lengths among these paths makes them some of the best in the city.

Before you take to the trails, though, UA journalism professor and avid cyclist Michael Mckisson has a word of advice.

“Be wary of others,” he said. “Not only are the trails used by cyclists, but they are often occupied by runners, skateboarders and pedestrians.”

So the next time you go out to enjoy a ride on one of the city’s multiple bike paths, make sure to be aware of others using the trails. It’ll give cyclists the good reputation they deserve and make everyone else a lot happier, too.

THE REEL DEAL

WITH ALEX GUYTON

“W

e Are Your Friends” didn’t drop the bass at the box office this past weekend, it dropped the ball. The electronic dance music-centric film had one of the worst wide-release openings of all-time, grossing almost $1.8 million on 2,333 screens.

This Zac Efron passion project now occupies a position on the same list as a movie called “The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure.”

I won’t say that the film’s performance at the box office is emblematic of its quality as a film, because that would place it in some truly atrocious company. The film has some authentic characters, which are desperately needed to counteract the uneven narrative and inauthentic depiction of the electronic dance music scene.

Cole Carter (Efron) is an electronic music producer and DJ in San Fernando Valley, a region of California full of people who are proud, yet ruefully frustrated, that they haven’t made it big. Cole ekes out a living playing small clubs while his three friends struggle along and hustle right beside him.

Cole’s fortunes stand to change, though, through a chance encounter with veteran producer and DJ James Reed (Wes Bentley).

Cole doesn’t have an original song to his name, but James sees something in him. And Cole sees something (e.g. a gorgeous face and plunging neckline) in James’s assistant and girlfriend, Sophie (Emily Ratajkowski).

The strength of this film lies in its strangely likeable cast of characters. These are all disenchanted people. Cole isn’t seeing success in his musical passion, Sophie’s a Stanford dropout and James is a washedup musician. Their reality has fallen short of their visions of success, and that’s exactly why, to varying degrees, the audience gets behind them.

Efron effectively underplays Cole; he has a confident presence that doesn’t require flourish. Bentley gives James that cocky, dismissive edge of an EDM bigwig that you just know has to be like some of the actual stars out there. Ratajkowski’s blemish-free, soft smile betrays Sophie’s sadness.

In relation to its source material, the culture of EDM, things are hit-and-miss.

The film doesn’t necessarily have any moral responsibility in how it depicts drugs, but it’s still pleasing to see they used various shades of gray. There’s the psychedelic, when Cole accidentally smokes PCP and a party turns into a living painting; there’s the positive, when Cole and Sophie have a

loving, euphoric roll on Molly throughout Las Vegas; and there’s the negative, when one of Cole’s friends overdoses.

However, it dubiously depicts Cole’s progression as an artist. We’re told by Reed that he lacks an original sound and that he’s just mimicking everyone else. The solution the film sets forth is that Cole just isn’t listening to the world around him. So once Cole starts recording the sounds that he notices, like the metallic spin of a coin or the ominous whir of helicopter blades, he becomes a better artist. It sort of makes sense, but when you think about it, it really doesn’t. Artists get better through practice, not epiphanies.

So, what does Cole do with all of those sounds? He creates that one, original track that serves as an anthem to the frustrated youth. And you know what? That song is a success with the festival audience he plays it for, and it’s a success in the theater. It’s muddled and energetic, and undeniably has its appeal, making it a very appropriate way to end “We Are Your Friends.”

Students try out Park Student Union’s newest eatery, The DEN by Denny’s, on Wednesday, Sept. 2. The DEN focuses on college campus cuisine with old Denny’s favorites such as The Grand Slam and new items like hand-smashed burgers.

BY Jessica Kong

The Daily Wildcat

From a rich, freshly-brewed cup of coffee to French toast, yogurt parfait and much more, The DEN by Denny’s is just the place to start off that morning grind before class—or to recover from last night’s hangover.

Aside from the illuminated lights, The DEN’s menu has a simplistic, easy-to-read, woodeninspired menu that attracts many students to lounge around inside Park Student Union.

The DEN features all-day breakfast sandwiches, hand-smashed 100 percent pure beef burgers, sandwiches, burritos, tacos, handcrafted salads and a selection of fountain drinks along with other sweet-tooth goodies.

Piper Fox, a psychology freshman, said she does not think too highly of The DEN’s bacon, egg and cheese brioche melt.

“It tastes good, but it wasn’t very warm or fresh,” Fox said. “It would have been nice to have a cheese sauce.”

She said she does enjoy The DEN’s overall presentation and service.

“The buzzer is pretty innovative, and their service is quick,” she said. “I also like their hours of operations. My friends and I came late and they were still fully operational.”

The Original Grand Slam, only $5.99, is as big as one’s appetite with two eggs, two sausage links, two strips of bacon and two pancakes.

Students who are looking for a healthier alternative without the extra calories can swap out the egg yolks for egg whites, regular bacon for turkey bacon, regular sausage links for chicken sausage and regular pancakes for wheat ones.

The only two downsides in this deal were the sausage links and eggs.

For the sausage, keep a full cup of water at hand since it had a few too many pinches of salt added. Although the eggs yolks were lacking in portion, the integrity of their flavor was all there.

Aside from this, The DEN’s regular pancakes were fluffy, tasteful and easy to cut. If desired, this entree comes with a small scoop of butter and packaged syrup for more taste.

A burger is one thing, but a breakfast burger is certainly another. The Grand Slamwich piles on layers of gooey American cheese, sliced ham, sausage patties, scrambled eggs and a strip of

bacon, all on two grilled slices of potato bread.

Big bites are encouraged to really appreciate every layer of flavor.

“I love breakfast with a lot of meat,” said Mikey Manaloto, a sophomore studying physiology and biomedical engineering, when asked about his experience with The Grand Slamwich. “You get a lot of meat in this sandwich. You can choose to add ketchup, but if you’re like me, you can leave it alone and you’re all fine.”

With an all-inclusive deal of a burger, fries and a fountain drink, The (Little) Den Burger is new to the menu, costing just shy of $5. For students wanting a little bit of everything, it’s No. 2 on the menu—a hard-to-miss, hard-not-to-want order.

Another new item in the mix are the Audacious Tacos, under the sandwiches, burritos and tacos menu. The ingredients of the mojo pork tacos are jam-packed with flavor and well-seasoned through every bite. Chow down on the savory pulled pork, shredded lettuce, cilantro lime ranch and pico de gallo on a choice of either flour or corn tortillas.

For busy bees who are always on the go, The DEN offers Marvelous Munchies: a list of snack bites to satisfy those study-induced cravings.

The menu features three to five chicken strips or five to eight mozzarella sticks paired with a variety of dipping sauces, including honey mustard, roasted garlic aioli, BBQ, chipotle and homemade ranch.

The DEN lacks a variety of handcrafted salads, but the ingredients used to make them aren’t lacking. The pecan-cranberry chicken salad goes home with the win; it’s a unique sweet-andtangy fusion topped with grilled chicken breast and drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette.

The selection of hand-dipped and handspun shakes consists of tried and true classics such as chocolate and vanilla, but also an unconventional flavor: maple bacon. Every shake includes an optional mini-mountain of swirled whip cream.

The DEN by Denny’s, a fast food eatery with meals under $15, fits perfectly for students, right on campus.

Leave the yoga pants at home

BY Apoorva Bhaskara The Daily Wildcat

ould you like it if someone came into your house, moved your furniture and claimed the place as their own?

This is what happens when people take things from other cultures without regard for customs or knowledge of the culture­­—a phenomenon known as cultural appropriation.

While it’s important to recognize appropriation, there are also overzealous critics who point fingers at any instance of a Westerner sporting a dress or practicing a tradition from a different culture. They too need to realize: not everything is offensive.

The issue is multifaceted and not concretely defined. Officially, cultural appropriation refers to one culture adopting elements from a different culture and integrating them into their lives.

However, it has a negative connotation due to the imbalance of power commonly exerted between two cultures in such a situation. The culture doing the “borrowing” is often the more privileged culture, while the other is often a minority. The disparity mirrors old colonization mentality, in which the dominant culture takes what they please from others while exploiting and disrespecting them.

Businesses often capitalize on this imbalance, turning culture into an industry.

“Cultural artifacts thus become commercial products, yet the people who actually produce the cultural artifacts (NOT the people who made the products in factories but those who in fact engage in production and use of the artifacts in culturally meaningful ways) neither benefit from the process nor have a voice on what they mean,” said Dr. Wenhao Diao, a UA assistant professor in East Asian Studies. “The commercialization aspect is what I see as problematic.”

But here’s the shocking truth: we don’t live in a bubble. All over the world, cultures are communicating and influencing each other. There is no way for us to keep each culture separate and distant, and neither would we want to. The diversity that is brought by fusing cultures is what makes societies unique.

The ideal solution would be to find a happy medium between isolated bubble cultures and exploitative or commercial cultural appropriation.

This can come in the form of cultural exchange, in which there is a mutual understanding between The Daily Wildcat Editorial Policy Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings.

the cultures involved.

While we do not live in a perfect world, there are ways to create equal exchange rather than appropriation of culture.

Cultural exchange means respecting a culture’s values—not overextending your welcome. It means asking questions before adopting a new style or tradition. Is it sacred and significant to this culture? How do its members feel about outsiders performing this tradition? Would you be perpetuating stereotypes and demeaning this culture? Is the way this tradition is being practiced in the West skewing the meaning from that of the original culture?

These questions are rarely asked in the evergrowing multi-billion dollar yoga industry.

Originating as a Hindu tradition in India, yoga has been practiced for thousands of years as a spiritual discipline with the goal of expanding the consciousness, involving breathing exercises, meditation, introspection, and finally, physical poses.

However, when many Americans think of yoga, they don’t imagine yogis practicing for years to master the art. Instead, people think of, and even celebrate, young suburban women in tight leggings stretching on mats. Thanks to cultural appropriation, the philosophy and deeper goals behind yoga are being replaced by misplaced “Namastes” and “Om” tramp stamps—becoming more and more of a trend than a sacred way of life.

In response, the Hindu American Foundation launched the Take Back Yoga campaign in 2008 to encourage Americans practicing and teaching yoga to become more aware of the culture and meaning behind it. It doesn’t say that people in Western cultures should not practice yoga, only that it is possible and preferable to practice yoga the way it was meant to be practiced.

Picking and choosing which aspects of yoga you would like to practice is ignoring the deep cultural roots behind the ancient practice, reducing it simply to another Instagram-able fitness fad.

Yoga is only one example of cultural tradition that has been appropriated in the West and consequently lost meaning. The medley of cultures in our lives is what creates an engaging and accepting society, but nonetheless, we must not forget to respect the cultures that allow us to be their guests. After all, you shouldn’t trash your host’s house and leave to find a new one once you get bored.

Internet orgs are not your friends

BY Justice Amarillas The Daily Wildcat

T

he new Windows 10 update includes a hidden, default feature for users who register with family accounts. This feature sends the administrator of a family account an automatic and weekly update on the search histories and websites visited by family members’ accounts, regardless of whether those users cleared their history or browsed anonymously.

The feature was discovered when a father received an email from Microsoft detailing his son’s browsing activity, to which he replied in a letter “Don’t assume your own computer has your back.” Found under Family Settings, the

default setting can be turned off, but the parents or administrators of the family accounts have to make a conscious decision and take extra action not to spy on the activity of their kids or other users.

This Windows 10 update was highlighted in an article on MTV’s website regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning teens and if their safety was at risk, but this invasion of privacy also extends beyond LGBTQ youth and into the lives of today’s college students.

The Internet is a place where everything that gets posted or even searched stays public.

What would seem like a harmless inquiry turns into archived data that agencies like Google and the National Security Agency can use to control your experience online. Such efforts are reflected in advertisements on Facebook, which are tailored according to your browser’s search history. Further, any suspicious activity you post online can be directly linked to the local police

for possible real-life questioning.

It’s always one thing to hear the older generations talk about the Internet as something that will eventually “take over the human race” and “brainwash us,” but it’s another thing to realize that they might not be wrong.

“The basic and persistent problem here is one of power,” said Victor Braitberg, an assistant professor for the School of Anthropology.

“Microsoft’s default mode with matters of privacy seems to be to provide technologies that will enable powerful groups to get data on those they want to control, whether it is enabling the NSA to spy on ordinary citizens, corporations to spy on consumers or parents to spy on their kids. A free upgrade from Microsoft is going to have a catch. And what’s being caught is your data so that you can be monitored and more easily controlled.”

Braitberg continued: “My concern with many college students is that they are entirely

too trusting when it comes to corporations like Microsoft, Facebook, Google, etc. … These companies are not your friend. Their products are designed to extract your data, repackage it and deliver it to all kinds of different groups that want to influence you, sell your stuff, spy on you and ultimately manipulate and control your behavior.”

As college students on the Internet, it is so important that we exercise control over our activity in order to ensure that our relationship with technology doesn’t reflect that of a dictatorship—with technology at the top and us at the bottom. We can control the rate of technological progress and its ability to take over our lives. It all starts with awareness.

War on club drugs only ranting and raving

BY Trey Ross

The Daily Wildcat

W

hether you’re crossing state lines to go to a music festival or walking into an EDM concert at The Rialto Theatre, drugs will probably be involved somewhere in the itinerary.

But, surprise! This time the Molly is different.

Maybe it’s more aggressive and intense, or maybe nothing has happened at all. You paid a guy you only call by his first name who seems trustworthy for capsules that looked the right color, but they aren’t what you thought you were buying.

Standing on the dance floor, you might be on bath salts or caffeine powder.

This situation is directly correlated with ineffective drug policy in America.

I checked out the FBI’s Tips for Parents: The

Truth About Club Drugs web page and found myself in stuck somewhere between laughter and serious concern. The information and the presentation are beyond dated. Almost as dated as watching Nancy Reagan telling teens to “Just Say No” when it comes to substance use. Young adults and college students will never be able to start the conversation about drug use and its safety if the government continues to group together the date-rape drug, liquid ecstasy, horse tranquilizer, meth and Molly.

When you crack open a beer or light a cigarette, you have a pretty good idea of how it’s going to affect you. That’s because the U.S. government regulates the alcohol and tobacco industries, meaning those substances have to meet specific standards in order to be sold to the public.

While there is both a Drug Enforcement Administration and a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, one is aimed at eliminating the substance while the other writes laws on taxation and works with the Food and Drug Administration.

Why won’t anyone wake up?

Young adults are dying because of unregulated drugs. Instead of trying to arrest drug dealers or close off drug trafficking routes, why can’t we work towards a safer drug industry?

Rave culture and the paraphernalia that accompanies it have become the new moonshine.

“What’s in My Baggie?” is a documentary created by a group of four millennials interested in disguised drugs. They traveled across America to six music festivals and spoke with attendees about drug habits, drug uses and drug expenses.

Throughout the documentary, they film an organization called The Bunk Police handing out test-kits at festivals for the young adults to test their own Molly. Many instances, all caught on camera, showed that these people unknowingly paid for bath salts or caffeine pills instead of the product they wanted.

Truly, there is no one to blame except for drug policy. How do people know what they are buying or selling?

This issue is not just limited to MDMA;

marijuana and other drugs can be cut with rat poison, bath salts or other unknown chemical compounds because it’s a lawless business.

And with a high profit margin, consumers are constantly looking for the cheapest product with the best results.

I’m not justifying drug use. I am simply asking our government to make substances, many of which will not be going away anytime soon, safer.

There are countless deaths each year from a substance that can be purchased in any restaurant or on any street corner. It’s advertised daily and has made many people billionaires. It’s alcohol. And it’s legal.

How many young lives could be saved if the correct drug safety was taught in school? Or if young adults that chose to buy drugs before going to a concert could actually know what they were buying?

We shouldn’t have to ask anymore, we should be demanding reformed drug policy.

After years of scandals, Greek members, student leaders and others talk about the future of fraternities at the UA

BY SETH PINES

The Daily Wildcat

Hundreds of UA men waded through the crowds and heat along greek row and throughout campus in the days before classes in hopes of getting a bid from one of the UA’s fraternities.

The number of students coming out to rush continues to increase despite headlines haranguing UA fraternities in recent years.

Eight fraternities shut down in three years. Members of a fraternity engaging in an anti-semitic attack on another fraternity. Fraternity member falls to his death.

In the past year, Delta Tau Delta, Theta Chi and Delta Sigma Phi fraternities shuttered following hazing allegations and other violations. Another six fraternities are currently under sanctions. “The last thing we want to do is close a fraternity or sorority,� says Johanne Ives, assistant dean of students for Fraternity & Sorority Programs.

Ives says that a recurring theme among the fraternities that have been successfully removed from campus has been hazing.

Any potential new members seem undeterred. Last year, 894 men participated in the first round of fraternity recruitment, according to UA officials, and this year 959 men made the decision to go through the beginning stages of recruitment.

TIMELINE Eight fraternities have been shut down at the UA in the past three years

Damian Liguori, a biology freshman, is one of the many “rushees� who is hoping to join a fraternity this fall. “There are a lot of perks to being in a fraternity,� Liguori says. “You get that great brotherhood bond between guys, there are intramural sports and philanthropy. It just sounded like an overall good experience, so I decided to rush.�

Liguori is aware of judicial issues with UA fraternities because he has two cousins who were in Phi Gamma Delta, commonly referred to as FIJI, a fraternity that was removed in August of 2014 for hazing, providing alcohol to minors and non-cooperation with university officials and the University of Arizona Police Department.

In April 2014, a freshman member of FIJI died after falling from the top of the Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall.

During its investigation, UAPD found an email that told FIJI members to lie to law enforcement about alcohol related activities on the night of the student’s death.

Liguori says the past behavior of fraternities never made him question his decision to rush because the houses that engaged in dangerous practices are now no longer recognized by the university.

Joseph Fice, a computer science freshman, says he shares the same belief as Liguori. “There are different fraternities of

Tucson economy looking bright

BY Sebastian Laguna The Daily Wildcat

The Tucson economy continues to grow, and more economic development initiatives are underway to ensure the city’s economic growth.

According to the city of Tucson’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, published September 2014, the main strength of the city continues to be the workforce and population.

The strategy outlines three key factors that make the Tucson workforce strong: the relatively young population, diverse and largely bilingual workers and the expanded growth of the population.

The Eller College of Management’s Mid-Year Economic Update: Breakfast with the Economists, held in June, concluded that Tucson is growing and should continue growing in the future. The economists suggest that the current low prices of gasoline coupled with the potential rise in home prices could lead to more growth in both the Tucson and Arizona economies respectively.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, data from July 2015 showed that the unemployment rate in Tucson has stayed consistent, hovering around 6 percent for the past 12 months. In both March and May, unemployment was below 5 percent, but strong fluctuations have kept the rate near 6 percent for the majority of this time period.

“We aren’t hearing as much trouble from people trying to find jobs,” said Andrew Squire, an economic development specialist for the city of Tucson.

“We are still focused on trying to create better jobs by working with small businesses.”

Tucson has developed a primary jobs incentive program, Squire said, to create more jobs specifically in the medical, mining and business fields.

Squire said the city is aiming to create more primary jobs that have a minimum salary ranging

Rebecca Noble/The Daily Wildcat

Tucson City Hall at 255 W. Alameda St.

between $50,000 and $60,000.

“We talk daily with folks that are taking their first steps to start up a new business. We have one of the best entrepreneurial economies in the nation as far as people looking to create new businesses,” Squire said. “While there are always challenges to getting a business started, this is still a good place to start a new business.”

The Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce is also working on programs in order to expand the growth of the Tucson economy. Michael Varney, staff liaison for the small business

council of the Tucson Metro Chamber, said the chamber has developed an economic plan for Tucson.

“Our plan is based on four pillars: to be aware of public policy, maintain workforce readiness, establish new economic development initiatives and perform smallbusiness outreach,” Varney said.

A Rocky Mountain Poll conducted in the second quarter of 2015 found the consumer confidence index of residents in the Tucson area has remained close to where it was a year ago.

In addition, the low gas

prices in Tucson have given the economy more potential for growth in the foreseeable future.

“High gas prices can act as a tax, and as gas prices get cheaper people have more money in their pockets,” Varney said. “I don’t think anybody would argue that they would then be likely to spend that money, which is good for our local businesses and helps with sales tax revenue.”

One specific economic initiative, Varney said, is the potential development of a new non-stop airline service from Tucson to New York City.

“Tucson is the largest city in

the country without non-stop service to New York City,” Varney said. “We feel like we are close to getting a major airline to make that commitment.”

Through initiatives by the city of Tucson and the Tucson Metro Chamber, the sustainable growth of the Tucson economy remains a focus in the upcoming months.

Forty-two thousand students are claiming the UA as their personal stomping grounds this fall with the largest freshman class in UA history, according to Kasey Urquidez, the vice president for enrollment management and student affairs advancement and dean of undergraduate admissions.

For the fall semester, the UA welcomed over 8,100 new freshmen and over 2,100 transfer students. To accommodate so many new students, Urquidez said it’s important to make sure they feel comfortable and engaged.

“We have had a ton of activities and are striving to make [the] UA feel like home,” Urquidez added.

To accommodate the influx of students and provide access to those who cannot attend the physical campus, the university launched UA Online, which represents “a new era in fulfilling [the UA’s] promise to provide accessible education to all,” according to its website.

“It has been a great way to provide more access to a UA education, and we are excited about all the possibilities moving forward,” Urquidez said.

This fall, the expansion of the UA hasn’t just been in Tucson, but also at UA North Valley in Paradise Valley, Arizona, and other sites like UA South and UA Yuma, Urquidez said.

“Not all students are in Tucson with us each day,” she said. “[The] UA is growing all over the world, not just here.”

The majority of UA students come from Arizona, California, Illinois, Colorado, Washington and Texas with pre-business and engineering as the top two majors, followed

by pre-physiology, biology and psychology, according to Urquidez.

Ben Skrill, a pre-computer science freshman, is adjusting to life as a Wildcat. Skrill said the quality of instruction is a massive improvement from high school.

Skrill is a student in the UA Honors College and, as a result, he has been able to avoid the large class sizes that come with general education credits. However, he believes the UA campus could be at its tipping point for capacity.

“Some halls are not wide enough, and some classrooms are too small,” Skrill said. “I think it’ll be okay for the next few years or so, but if enrollment continues to increase at the rate that it is, then it could become an issue.”

With the opening of the new Environment and Natural Resources 2 building, which had its debut in May, the UA has the capacity to serve all current students, Urquidez said.

“We will continuously assess this to be sure all students on campus can be served in appropriate classrooms,” Urquidez added.

Skrill’s said he finds long lines a common experience at the Student Union Memorial Center.

“Because it’s the only real food court, it’s very crowded, and there’s almost always never enough tables,” Skrill said.

Despite the thousands of extra students, Skrill said he enjoys the environment at the UA. “It’s very upbeat and lively,” Skrill said. “The vibe is probably the best aspect [of the UA].”

City constructs new stoplight

BY Brandi Walker The Daily Wildcat

Attention drivers: Soon there will be a stoplight installed at North Euclid Avenue and Fifth Street in front of the Coronado Residence Hall to allow pedestrians and bicyclists to cross the street more safely.

University of Arizona Police Department Sgt. Filbert Barrera said he thinks the signal is being installed because it is a high-volume crosswalk.

“It will be helpful for the lights to turn red to notify cars that folks are walking through,” said John Parker, a pre-business freshman.

“It’s hard to see people walking across the street—especially at night—so the lights will definitely help. And sometimes cars can see you, but they don’t stop to let people cross anyway.”

Ann Chanecka, the bicycle and pedestrian program coordinator for the city of Tucson, said the new bicycle-pedestrian crosswalk is a signal to help bicycles and pedestrians cross North Euclid Avenue and is part of the Fifth Street Bicycle Boulevard Project.

“This is the first phase with the improvements that the [UA] has done to the east side of that area,” Chanecka said. “This project is to make it easier to access campus and to walk or bicycle in that area, and the signal improves safety and makes it easier to get across.”

The city of Tucson has a few of the same types of signals, according to Chanecka.

One is located at the intersection of East University Boulevard and North Stone Avenue, and one at the intersection of East Third Street and North Country Club Road.

“Cars will be getting a red light when

Brandi Walker/The Daily Wildcat

A UA student, who declined to provide her name, crosses at the site of a new lighted crosswalk on Euclid Avenue on Thursday, Sept. 3. Derek Hernandez, a senior studying sports management and communication, sent a request for a lighted crosswalk to the mayor in November 2014, and the crosswalk is now being installed.

bicycles and pedestrians have the green light, or in the pedestrian case, the walking signal to go,” Chanecka said. “Cars actually have to come to a complete stop at the red light so bicycles and pedestrians can go.”

Chanecka said the reasoning behind this improvement is that Fifth Street can serve as an alternate route for pedestrians and bicyclists trying to get to campus.

“The idea is that it’s kind of a new bicycle and pedestrian gateway to campus from

the west side, and [the UA] invested a lot in the block just east of the signal to help movement in that area,” Chanecka said.

Chanecka said the city of Tucson is hosting an event Sept. 15 at the location of the new signal.

“We’re hoping it’s going to be fully complete by then, but actually it’s part of a Light the Night campaign we have where we hand out free bicycle lights, and there are lights that pedestrians can also

use on backpacks to help improve safety,” Chanecka said. “It’s the law that bicycles have to have a front light on their bike at night.”

Chanecka said the event will start at 6 p.m. and Wilbur will be there to help hand out free lights until supplies run out.

Emerge! expands services to new location

BY Terrie Brianna The Daily Wildcat

Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse has expanded its communitybased services, called Voices Against Violence, to a new location at 4101 E. 22nd St. The organization was first established in 2008 when Brewster Center Domestic Violence Services and Tucson Centers for Women and Children came together to form Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse.

The newly renovated site, which came as a result of a growing demand for the services offered by the Emerge!, can accommodate more staff and provide program

participants with a more comfortable and positive environment.

“Our mission, which we all passionately believe in, is to provide the opportunity to create, sustain and celebrate a life free from abuse,” said Sarah Jimenez-Valdez, executive assistant for Emerge!.

Emerge!, according to JimenezValdez, provides a variety of services that aim to meet the needs of the Tucson community, such as a 24hour bilingual hotline, emergency shelter, housing programs and education and volunteer programs.

The center currently has two community-based sites—a confidential shelter and a transitional housing property—in addition to its administrative offices,

Jimenez-Valdez said.

Ed Mercurio-Sakwa, the CEO of the center, said domestic abuse impacts everyone in some way, adding that someone dies every three days in Arizona as a result of domestic violence.

“If the community as a whole understands the complexity and seriousness of the issue of domestic violence, and commits to taking a proactive role in creating safety, we can more effectively work together to end domestic violence,” MercurioSakwa said.

Last year, 5,459 people were served through Emerge! programs and more than 2,264 people were served in community-based services, according to Caitlin Beckett,

development officer for Emerge!.

According to Jimenez-Valdez the center has served as an educational platform for the Tucson community, educating 1,332 people about the effects of domestic violence on victims and children. The center also teaches the community how to find help.

Emerge! provided a total of 19,723 safe nights at its shelter to 343 adults and 254 children, Beckett said.

Emerge! offers safety planning, individualized case management, family services and legal support.

“One in four women will be impacted by domestic abuse in her lifetime, so statistically speaking, we all have someone in our life who we care about that has been, or will be,

affected by domestic abuse,” he said.

Emerge! has 67 employees and has been voted to The NonProfit Times’ Best Places To Work since 2011.

“If you are in a violent situation, the best thing to do is to ask for support,” Mercurio-Sakwa said. “Domestic violence is not a private matter. It’s a serious and sometimes lethal issue.

You don’t have to deal with it alone, and it’s okay to ask for help.”

Emerge’s 24-hour bilingual hotline can be reached at (520) 795-4266.

A bittersweet victory

UA defeats UTSA 42-32, but loses star linebacker Scooby Wright III to gameending knee injury

BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat

Rain poured down over campus late Thursday afternoon, delivering an ominous start to an Arizona football season with budding expectations.

By night’s end, worry had washed away most of the early-year hysteria surrounding the UA’s 2015 outlook.

Yes, the Wildcats opened the new season with a 42-32 victory over UTSA, but in the process they may have lost their best player for an extended period of time.

All-American linebacker Scooby Wright III left the game early in the first half with an apparent left knee injury and did not return. After halftime, Wright limped out of the locker room on a clutch.

Wright was seen on the sideline without any sort of protection, such as a cast or boot.

Following the game, Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said that Wright would get an MRI late Thursday night.

“I don’t think it’s bad—MCL, ACL or whatever—but I hate to speculate,” Rodriguez said. “Last week he had shin splints, so he rested for a couple days. I thought that’s maybe what reoccurred. But it was something else.”

Arizona’s untimely absences did not stop at Wright—not even close.

Freddie Tagaloa, the expected starter at left guard, missed the entire game with an undisclosed injury.

Cornerbacks Cam Denson and Sammy Morrison, two guys expected to carry the second, both left early with injuries of their own.

On top of that, Samajie Grant, Tellas Jones and Anthony Fotu—all projected starters—were suspended due to a reported violation of team rules.

The Wildcats were already missing wide receivers Trey Griffey and Tyrell Johnson with minor foot injuries,

Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon (12) takes to the air to avoid a sack by UTSA defensive tackle Kevin Strong Jr. (54) in Arizona Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 3. The Wildcats triumphed in the first game of the season, defeating the Roadrunners with a score of 42-32.

as well as linebacker Cody Ippolito who will sit out the season with a torn ACL. “That’s too many guys. I’m getting depressed,” Rodriguez said with a slight chuckle.

With Wright and others on the sideline, Arizona looked sluggish on both sides of the ball for much of the first half before tightening it up a bit after halftime.

Arizona’s season actually got off to an ideal start when, on the second play of scrimmage, safety Anthony Lopez picked off a UTSA pass for a 23-yard touchdown return.

Later in the first quarter, Arizona increased the lead to 14-0 when Anu Solomon hit David Richards for a sixyard touchdown pass.

From that point on, Arizona’s hard-edge engine didn’t run so smoothly.

Solomon struggled to hit open receivers, the usually sure-handed

Nick Wilson fumbled in the second quarter and the UA defense had trouble slowing down the Roadrunners.

UTSA, starting a new quarterback and running back, took advantage of Wright’s absence by accumulating 525 total yards on offense.

The Roadrunners successfully implemented a high-tempo attack that held possession of the ball for most the game.

The fact that it was UTSA, not Arizona, who managed the speed of the game irked Rodriguez.

“You have to give them credit, because they were getting first downs,” Rodriguez said. “They controlled the tempo better than we did, which is really disappointing because that’s the one thing that we want to take pride in.”

The Roadrunners outscored Arizona 20-7 in the second quarter.

UTSA’s first score came on a chip

field goal and the next on a short redzone pass to make it 14-10 Arizona.

The Wildcats answered when Solomon hit Johnny Jackson in stride for a 21-yard touchdown pass, but UTSA scored the last 10 points of the half.

When the two teams ran into the locker room with the scoreboard displaying a one-point game at halftime, there was no certainty the Wildcats would come out ahead.

However, Arizona’s talent eventually eclipsed the Roadrunners’ inexperience.

The Wildcats grabbed hold of the third quarter on an end zone pass from Solomon to Nate Phillips, followed shortly by a 22-yard fumble touchdown recovery by Jamar Allah.

But it was DaVonte’ Neal, making his first start at cornerback after switching positions over the offseason, who ended up producing the game-sealing play.

Early in the fourth quarter with the score 35-26 Arizona, UTSA attempted a 44-yard field to cut the lead to six.

The ball would travel no more than a few yards, as Neal swatted the attempt.

“That was a good move,” Rodriguez said. “[Neal] is another guy that brings a lot of energy.”

On the ensuing drive, Solomon relayed a four-yard touchdown pass to Cayleb Jones to expand the lead to 16 points.

Arizona’s sophomore quarterback ended the night with 229 yards in the air and four touchdowns.

“We thought we could have done better in all three aspects of the game,” Solomon said. “UTSA is a great team, and it’s onto the next one.”

oming into their first game of the 2015 regular season, the Arizona Wildcats could not afford to lose more players to injury.

Unfortunately, luck was not on their side.

The evening began as redshirt junior Freddie Tagaloa was held out due to an injury he sustained earlier in the week. Tagaloa was the projected starter at right tackle.

Sophomore Layth Friekh started in his place.

Then, the nightmares of every Arizona fan became a reality.

Late in the first quarter, All-American linebacker Scooby Wright III left the game with a left knee injury. As the game wore on and the reigning Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year continued to ice his knee, it became more apparent that his return was unlikely.

Wright appeared on Pac-12 Networks when he came out of the tunnel after halftime wearing street clothes and walking with a cane.

As of now, Wright was scheduled to get an MRI late Thursday night on his left knee and has not been given a diagnosis of the injury’s severity.

“I don’t think it’s bad—MCL, ACL or whatever—but I hate to speculate,” said head coach Rich Rodriguez after the game. “We’ll see what happens.”

Sophomore Cam Denson also left the game in the first quarter.

On top of these injuries, suspensions loomed. Receiver Samajie Grant, safety Tellas Jones and defensive tackle Anthony Fotu were suspended for violating team rules, according to reports.

After listing each player who was out, Rodriguez added jokingly, “That’s too many guys. I’m getting depressed.”

The pre-game suspensions and in-game injuries pile onto the ones the Wildcats sustained in training camp. Carter Wood,

Trevor Wood and Cody Ippolito were all lost to season-ending injuries before the Wildcats had even one snap. Receivers Tyrell Johnson and Trey Griffey also missed the UTSA game.

Injuries are a part of the game that nobody likes to see. In a collision sport like football, they are tough to avoid. The Wildcats could have prepared, conditioned and practiced better than anyone in the country. Yet, as fate has it, players still get hurt.

Arizona undoubtedly struggled, but fans should not panic just yet. While Wright’s injury remains unknown, the other injuries sustained by the starters do not seem to be anything major. The impact of today is lessened if the Wildcats can return Tagaloa, Denson and the rest within the next week or two. And, at the moment, Wright’s injury is all speculation. The full extent remains a mystery.

The UA benefitted by playing its first game on a Thursday because they will now have the rest of the weekend and all of next week to heal and prepare for Nevada.

The Wildcats should also be thankful that they played this particular game against UTSA and not a Pac-12 opponent. A game with this many injuries against, say, UCLA or USC would have been much more difficult. They came out with the win and can now adjust accordingly.

Should there be concern? Yes. Any time a team’s most dominant player goes down, panic ensues. While we wait for the results of Wright’s MRI, players like Haden Gregory will be asked to step up.

However, if these injuries do haunt the team, the Wildcats are now forced to adapt even more. The Pac-12 South is a meat grinder this season, and Arizona will need plenty of help if they want to remain relevant in this brutal division.

Soccer heads north for ASU tournament

BY RYAN KELAPIRE The Daily Wildcat

Arizona soccer looks to stay undefeated this weekend when it heads to Tempe for two games in the Sun Devil Desert Classic.

On Friday at 4:30 p.m., the Wildcats (3-0) will take on the San Diego State Aztecs.

The Aztecs (3-1) were previously No. 26 in the NSCAA Coaches Poll, but they lost 2-0 to Cal last week and dropped to no. 35.

Despite the loss, the Aztecs will be the highest ranked team the Wildcats will have faced this year.

“We looked at the wins of all the California schools. … They were only behind Stanford, UCLA and Cal in terms of wins over the last four of five years, so they’re a very good team,” said Tony Amato, Arizona soccer coach, about San Diego State. “[Head coach] Mike [Friesen] does a great job with them, so it’s gonna be a challenge,” Amato said. “That’s one that we know, if we can get the win, it will really help us in the RPI rankings in the future.”

Then, on Sunday, the Wildcats will go up against the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks at 11 a.m.

Let’s just say that Amato is very familiar with

Stephen F. Austin.

Before becoming Arizona’s coach in 2013, Amato was the head coach for Stephen F. Austin, where he led the Lumberjacks to a 45-12-3 record from 2010 to 2012. He was a two-time Coach of the Year in the Southland Conference and is the school’s all-time winning percentage leader with a win percentage of .788.

In fact, Amato scheduled Stephen F. Austin to play in the Sun Devil Desert Classic.

“A few years ago [while still the coach at Stephen F. Austin] … ASU contacted me and said, ‘We’re coming to play Texas A&M. Would you be willing to play us? We’ll come to your place,’” Amato said.

Amato mentioned that it was rare for a Pac12 Conference school to come play at Stephen F. Austin, so he welcomed them with open arms. There was a catch, though.

“They said, ‘But, in 2015, you need to come play in our tournament and play Arizona and us,’ and I said, ‘That’d be great,’ not knowing in 2015 that it’d come full circle and I’d be at Arizona. So now we’re coaching against them,” Amato explained.

Since Amato left for Arizona not too long ago, some of the players he coached and recruited while at Stephen F. Austin are still on the

may be exactly what the slumping team needs to get on track.

Nonetheless, both games should prove to be close, hard-fought contests. Coming away with two wins would obviously be ideal for the Wildcats, but Coach Amato also sees the need for his team to improve as conference play draws near. He said he believes these games will help the team do just that.

“We set this up going into the season knowing we’re going to play San Diego State, who’s a very good team, and SFA, who won like 16 games last year. So we know it’s another test to get ready for the Pac-12,” Amato said.

current roster.

“I coached the seniors, recruited them, recruited the juniors, recruited some of the sophomores—so we know them well,” he said.

This matchup will be personal for some of the Lumberjacks, and Amato said he realizes that they’ll be playing with a chip on their shoulder Sunday.

“We know that they’re going to be totally ready for us. I know that those players that I coached and recruited are good players, or I wouldn’t have been involved with them in the first place,” he said.

While traditionally a strong team, Stephen F. Austin has struggled this year and is off to a 0-31 start. Although, the extra motivation they’ll have when playing against Amato’s Wildcats

3-0 volleyball looks to sweep in home openers The Daily Wildcat

After winning all three of their games at the SMU Invite in Dallas last weekend, the Wildcats will go into their first three home games of the season in McKale Center with a lot of momentum and confidence.

In the Arizona Invitational, Arizona will play South Dakota on Friday at 6 p.m., Florida A&M on Saturday at 10 a.m., and Cal State Northridge on Saturday at 7 p.m.

The weekend looks to be a great opportunity for the Wildcats to start off their season 6-0.

Junior Laura Lawson looks forward to being back in front of the home crowd and strives for the team to continue on from where they left off in Dallas.

“We can’t wait to get back in front everyone: the band, the fans,” Lawson said. “The atmosphere here is so great that it is just special playing here. We always can’t wait to get back.”

Lawson hopes her team will continue to fight like it did in Dallas and to keep playing tough in the times when things do not seem to be going well.

One specific moment Lawson mentioned was when her team was down 23-18 against

SMU in the third game and ultimately came back to win.

Lawson said she used the leadership skills she gained from playing with Team USA over the summer to encourage and bring the team together, and the team responded by making several clutch blocks and digs to come back and win the game and then the match.

Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio showed his satisfaction at starting the season off 3-0, but still sees lots of room for improvements before getting into Pac-12 Conference play in three weeks. Rubio said his team needs improvement in its rotations and also thinks his outside hitters have room for improvement and growth.

Though South Dakota, Northridge and Florida A&M do not have the best records, Rubio does not think they are reflective of how good the teams are because they all played in highly competitive tournaments last weekend.

He knows that Northridge and South Dakota are well-coached teams and that Florida A&M will be a very physical team.

“I think each one of those teams are going to present its own problems for us,” Rubio said.

“But I still think it’s more about what we do on our side of the net than what the other team

Rubio, like Lawson, looks forward to being in front of the home fans for the first time this season. He’s interested to see how his players will handle being back home and wants his team to be able to play as well as they did on the road in Dallas.
