A few historic landmarks to visit here include the El Tiradito Wishing Shrine, Presidio San Agustin del Tucson and the SosaCarrillo-Fremont House.

According to Zocalo Magazine, the El Tiradito Wishing Shrine is a shrine in Tucson that comes from a tale of love and death, all from a man in the 1870s who was known as “The Castaway.”

Presidio San Agustin was a military fortress that was built in the 18th century by Spanish soldiers. “The Presidio San Agustin del Tucson Museum is a re-creation of the Presidio built in 1775,” according to its website.

Estimated time from campus for all: 10 minutes

NEWS | FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS

First in the family: 3 students reflect

BY SETH MARKOWSKI @DailyWildcat

College was a strange concept for junior education student Tony Viola, senior English student Amanda Corona and senior public health student Yolanda Perez. When they each made the decision to come to the University of Arizona, they were the first of their families to pursue post-secondary education.

“My family was ecstatic that I made it to college,” Perez said. “They were so excited that I got to start my family’s legacy. They saw me as some kind of superwoman.”

Viola mirrored this sentiment.

“They were so proud of all the work that I did to get to that point. They understood how big of an achievement it was to finish high school and get accepted to college,” Viola said.

As all three adapted to collegiate life their freshman year, they discovered stressors and rigorous schedules in college that were unknown to their families. As a result, conflict arose.

“Just the fact that I didn’t come to as many family gatherings my first year at college was a big deal,” said Corona. “I was contacting them less, not because I didn’t love them, but because I had studying to do. That was an issue. They had never

been to college, they didn’t understand how big of a deal grades were or how much work it took to get the grades I wanted.”

The unfamiliarity of college and the lack of familial support and empathy was something that most students did not have to deal with. But Viola, Corona and Perez, did.

The university, which understands the unique challenges presented to first-generation college students, has an office that

is dedicated to serving firstgeneration students: First Cats, a branch of the UA Thrive Center, formerly The Office of Academic Success & Achievement.

As freshmen, all three students were involved with First Cats.

“As a freshman, it was a great thing to be a part of,” said Viola. “To be introduced to a whole community of students who are like me, who are where their family has never been before, was such a good

thing. It was such a helpful office to make sure that my transition was successful into college.”

Corona elaborated.

“I was assigned a peer mentor my freshman year, and it was nice to have someone who understood what it was like to move to college and be in a totally new place without anyone from my family understanding what it was like,” Corona said.

According to all three students, the First Cats

program was impactful. As sophomores and juniors, they returned as studentemployees to aid the 25 percent of the University’s population that identify as first-generation college students.

“When I was in this program as a student, I knew that this was something that I wanted to do,” Perez said. “I love people, and I love talking to people and I love helping people.”

Viola agreed.

“First-generation college students have a unique set of problems and issues,” Viola said. “To be able to help other students who are going through similar problems as you did … it’s an amazing thing to be a part of.”

Corona added that the experience had a positive effect on her college career.

“My peer mentor was amazing,” said Corona. “It had such a positive effect on my experience as a student that I knew I wanted to give other first-generation students that same positive experience.

I love helping new firstgeneration students at the University of Arizona.”

Viola, Corona and Perez are all utilizing their unique experiences to better the large first-generation community at the university. They each play an integral part in ensuring first-generation students are welcomed.

FRESHMAN STUDENTS KAITLYN SUSA (left), Jaden Callahan (center) and Riley Bowers (right) are all recipients of UA’s Legacy scholarship.

Following their paw prints

BY PRIYA JANDU @DailyWildcat

For many legacy students, attending the University of Arizona felt inevitable.

“I’ve been going to football games and coming here since I was eight years old, so I just knew that this was where I was supposed to be,” said freshman pre-business student Riley Bowers.

For some, like Bowers, this early exposure meant they knew where they were going to go to college very early on.

“My mother and my grandmother were very much, ‘You choose where you want to go, we’ll support you no matter what you do,’ but I’ve just always wanted to go here,” said sociology freshman Lydia Zadareky.

Zadareky’s mother and grandmother went to the UA, making her a third-generation legacy student. She noted that the decision to come to UA was not forced on her but one that she reached on her own, and she said she finds great significance in being a thirdgeneration Wildcat.

“It means being a part of something that’s bigger than me and it connects me with my grandmother and my mother ... it’s a

cool connection and now I get to go to the place that I’ve heard so many stories about,” Zadareky said.

Director of Alumni and Student Engagement Marc Acuña sees numerous benefits in being a legacy student. Acuña says he connects and engages the alumni community in an effort to encourage them to stay in contact with the community and be involved with the university.

“Growing up as a student, seeing your parents [and family] with that love of the red and blue and the university itself, it’s an experience you’re not going to get anywhere else,” Acuña noted.

Family tradition is not the only thing motivating legacy students to attend the UA. The university has a Legacy Scholar Program that accepted students can apply to.

The scholarship offers 10 renewable, meritbased $1,000 scholarships, according to the Alumni Association’s website. Zadareky and Bowers were both recipients of the scholarship.

Acuña’s experience with legacies supports Zadareky and Bower’s respective experiences. “I think that you just grow up being a Wildcat. I think that’s what you’re supposed to do,” he said.

ARTS & LIFE | RESTAURANT GUIDE

Bear Down and eat like a Wildcat With University of Arizona Family Weekend in full swing, restaurants and eateries located in Main Gate Square are awaiting the arrival of potential customers for the busy weekend

BY BRIANNON WILFONG @BriannonWilfong

University of Arizona Family Weekend is a time when families from all over visit their students on campus. Making the trip can sometimes leave you hungry and looking for a bite to eat. Restaurants near UA will be awaiting the arrival of families from all over. The Daily Wildcat has outlined several restaurants and eateries that surround the UA campus as a guide for families throughout the weekend.

No Anchovies A pizza parlor by day, a lively bar by night, No Anchovies is a pizza joint that is popular among students because of the big pizza slices.

With pizza choices ranging from margherita to plain cheese, wings and new sauces, this family-friendly restaurant is a fun option when looking for a laid-back pizza spot, according to Solana Contreras, an employee at No Anchovies.

Contreras said one of the most popular items on the menu is the Hot Wing Pizza. The pizzeria also offers music spun by a DJ on the weekends and a full bar upstairs.

The Dutch A breakfast and lunch spot on the corner of University Boulevard and Park Avenue offers dishes with a “Dutch twist,” according to Marcus van Winden, owner and chef at The Dutch, who called the restaurant’s dishes “delicious.”

Some of its most popular items are fish and chip, and duck tacos, which have a “nice good flavor that fits with the surroundings,” according to van Winden.

The Dutch serves breakfast all day long, but also offers burgers alongside the breakfast items. “[The Dutch Burger] is my favorite because [it is] a blue cheese bacon burger,” said Betty Hurd, an employee at The Dutch.

The Fix Arizona’s self-proclaimed “Mac ‘N Chz Headquarters.” Serving over 100 different mac ‘n’ cheese variations, The Fix has something for everyone, according to owner Mike Lanz.

Some of the most popular mac ‘n cheese dishes at The Fix are the Hangover, which features chorizo, hash browns and onions topped with eggs and salsa, and the All American, which is classic mac ‘n cheese.

Special offers during the month of October include the October Fest, which features bacon, bratwurst and ham.

The Fix also serves burgers, sandwiches and salads, if mac ‘n’ cheese is not your favorite.

Frog & Firkin A British sports bar with an outdoor front patio, an indoor bar and a dining space in the back for games and music, pizza slices and full pizzas are popular items at Frog & Firkin, but the sports bar offers lots of choices, including burgers and salads.

Frog & Firkin also offers a Beer Club for anyone 21 and over. Patrons can fill out a membership card free of charge. Afterwards, every time you order a beer at Frog’s, a bartender will initial your card to get you one beer closer to official Beer Club paraphernalia.

You don’t have to be a club member to enjoy Frog’s extensive beer selection, with 30 on draft and over 150 in the bottle.

The Buffalo Spot A newly opened restaurant, right next door to Dunkin’ Donuts, the Buffalo Spot is popular among students, largely due to the 13 different wing sauces and being so convenient to parking and so close to the bars on University, according to general manager Peter Encinas.

The Buffalo Spot has also gained popularity by offering 55-cent boneless wings on Tuesdays.

The Buffalo Spot offers “hand-cut, handbreaded, boneless wings,[with] 13 different sauces,” Encinas said.

Buffalo fries are the most popular item on the menu, according to Encinas. The french fries are covered in boneless wings with a choice of 13 different sauces.

ILLEGAL PETE’S IS ONE of the many restaurants along Main Gate Square in Tucson, Ariz. Customers can customize their Mexican food, and those 21 and over can enjoy the bar.

Illegal Pete’s Delicious Mexican food close to home, Illegal Pete’s serves up tacos, salads, burritos, bowls and nachos in a laid-back, casual atmosphere and offers the choice of protein with toppings like guacamole and nacho cheese sauce. With a deck for music and DJs, Illegal Pete’s is a game-day hangout for students and parents alike.

Illegal Pete’s also offers a full bar and happy hour, serving a variety of Mexican beers and local drafts.

Gentle Ben’s Gentle Ben’s is a “University classic restaurant” that families, alumni and students have been coming to for generations, according to owner Richard Fifer. With a wide variety of appetizers, burgers and tacos, the fan favorite, Gentle Ben’s has lots of game day foods.

Carnitas tacos are one of the patron favorites, according to Fifer.

“Lots of people come back to Gentle Ben’s,” Fifer said. “[It has] a plethora of history, very sentimental.”

With a bar upstairs and a misted outdoor patio, Gentle Ben’s is always busy on game days.

Would you recognize the possible warning signs of

suicide?

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships According to one survey, 42% of Tinder users are currently in a relationship.

• Social isolation • Hopelessness • Depression • Substance abuse • Wrapping up loose ends • Giving away important possessions • Sudden change in mood

Any tips when using Tinder or other dating apps?

When it comes to online dating, everyone seems to have an opinion.

But whether you think swiping right is the ultimate way to meet a bae, or the end of dating as we know it – the reality is that it’s here to stay.

The following tips can help keep you safe and may even increase your odds of finding love in the time of Tinder: 1. Do your homework – Remember how you had to cite multiple sources in that last paper you wrote? Take the same approach with your potential dates by cross-referencing them on social media to avoid reeling in “catfish.” Check out their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram profiles to see if things check out, and pay attention to their posts.

2. Take your time – A lot can come to light in the period between when you “meet” someone online and before the big offline reveal.

Chat with them until you feel comfortable sharing your number, but not before. As the Tinder website states, “We don't conduct criminal background checks on our users, so it’s up

to you to do your own research and remain cautious.”

3. Meet in public – Ready to see if the real thing matches that perfect profile pic? Meet up in the daytime, in a public place – local coffee shops are usually a good bet.

Consider bringing a friend along or at least choose a place where you know a friend is not far away.

4. Bring yourself – Be in control of your own transportation to the meet up spot, whether it’s driving, taking a cab, walking, etc. Don’t accept any offers to get picked up at home.

5. Tell a friend – If you are heading out alone, be sure to tell a friend who you are meeting and where you are going. Charge your phone beforehand out so you can stay connected.

6. Avoid booze – To keep your judgement clear for those first initial encounters.

7. Use your head – ...and trust your gut. They are still your best defense against sketchy people and scenarios in the brave new world of mobile dating.

Notice the warning signs. Care enough to reach out.

Help them find support. Suicide is preventable.

Learn how to be a lifesaver.

NEWS | UA Parent & Family Programs

Parents prepare for Family Weekend UA Parent & Family Programs invite families to bond through a variety of family activities and encourage parents to make campus connection during Family Weekend

BY LAUREN ALBRECHT @laurenkalbrecht

Family Weekend is the time of year where multiple campus groups come together to make the best experience for students and parents as possible.

The Parents and Family Association is no different. They work to ensure that Family Weekend runs efficiently and effectively.

From planning on campus events to community outreach, the PFA helps to build connections between families of fellow Wildcats and the campus.

“We have several goals during Family Weekend,” said Kathy Adams Riester, director of UA Parent and Family Programs.

According to Adams Riester, there is a multitude of time management, planning and organization that goes into the weekend. They want students and their families to become connected through on-campus activities.

In addition to Family Weekend activities, Adams Riester said she wants families to also be able to see the daily lives of their students on campus.

While in town, parents can get to know the university area as well as the City of Tucson.

“The main goal overall is to give families a better understanding of campus resources and connect them to academic resources,” said Adams Riester, who is also the associate dean of students.

Here is some of what the PFA and the UA’s Parent and Family Programs accomplish before, during and after Family Weekend.

What they accomplish during Family Weekend For the PFA and UA’s Parent and Family Programs, there is a lot that goes into planning and organizing the weekend. Both groups work together to establish the events and activities over two days.

As a collaborative experience, they discuss activities with other clubs and organizations on campus and make it a goal to reach out to as many as possible to ensure thorough representation, according to Adams Riester.

“We have a range of events, directly,

and by other groups,” Adams Riester said. “We provide registration weekend … we encourage other departments to sponsor activities [such as] open houses and meet and greets.”

The groups try to take a holistic approach toward planning for family weekend. Encouraging people and organizations on campus is essential to making Family Weekend fun for students, parents and families.

Another goal of theirs is to have as many tables at Bear Down Friday as possible, according to the director.

What they accomplish the rest of the year Aside from Family Weekend, the Parents and Family Association works with Parent and Family Programs to assist students, parents and families in collaborating with the UA. They coordinate events such as the Family Golf Challenge at Top Golf in order to raise funds for THINK TANK, an on-campus, academic resource for students.

They provide community outreach to parents, families and students and create a fall and spring newsletter to discuss events coming up at the UA. How the Parents And Family Association stands out The PFA is a distinguished group that can be utilized as another resource or support system for students.

According to Adams Riester, they want students to succeed with a beneficial support system from their families.

For Family Weekend, there is also more that can be done. According to Adams Riester, volunteers are always needed for PFA events.

“I would encourage people if they have questions about family weekend to visit our website for our schedule, parking information, etc,” Adams Riester said.

UA spreads school spirit at Bear Down Friday

BY SHARON ESSIEN @SharonshareB

Bear Down Friday kicked off the semester on Aug. 31 to cheer and support the Arizona football team before their first game of the season against Brigham Young University on Sept. 1.

The Family Weekend edition of Bear Down Friday will feature an array of new activities and celebratory festivities.

Family Weekend’s Bear Down Friday will take place at the regular location, Main Gate Square on University Boulevard, starting at 3 p.m.

Rosie Makinen, executive director of UA Family Weekend, reflected on the features for this particular Bear Down Friday.

“At the Family Weekend one, there will be a food fair, food specials at the restaurants in the area, a photo booth area which, if people register for Family Weekend, can get a really nice professional picture taken as well,” Makinen said. “Also, President Robbins will be there … it’s just kind of a way for the Arizona community as well as the Tucson community to come together and celebrate before the game on Saturday.”

The food fair with over 20 local restaurants will feature cuisines from different parts of the world such as In, Greece, Thailand, Mexico, Japan, Vietnam, the Mediterranean and traditional American.

Bear Down Friday is a free event that is open to the public, but for individuals that

are interested, during Family Weekend, there is a special offer called the Wildcat Experience Package.

“Bear Down Friday is a free event that anyone can go to and support our team,” Makinen said. “However, we encourage people to register for our Wildcat Experience Package so that people can get the professional photo I mentioned earlier, a Family Weekend t-shirt, a lanyard with different

discounts to local merchants, a clear bag that goes with the clear bag policy that people must follow at our football games.”

Throughout the event, there will be giveaways, discounts, prizes, happy hour pricing and fun activities all around. The Pep Rally will begin around 6 p.m. and will feature the UA Cheerleading, the Pride of Arizona Marching Band, UA Pom Line, Twirlers and Guard, Wilbur and Wilma and special guest speakers.

Makinen encourages families that are in town to attend and participate in the festivities at Bear Down Friday.

“Bear Down Friday is not only a way to [get] personally excited as a student for your team to play, but also to bring your family with you so that they can see the greater sense of community that we have at the U of A as well as Tucson in general,” Makinen said. “They will get to see the cheer team, the marching band up close, you will get to see President Robbins speak and you will also be exposed to a lot of the local businesses and organizations that in town as well … it is a really neat opportunity, and it will really get you excited for the game, even if you are not into sports.”

SPORTS | SOCCER TAILGATING

The family tailgate you’ve never heard of

BY MAX COHEN @MaxCohen_DW

Tailgating is a tradition most often associated with football, but only the American version. It’s also mainly reserved for fans on the UA Mall, where they set up pop-up tents, barbecues and TVs to watch other football games.

The parents of Arizona soccer sophomore Jada Talley, however, have brought the American football tradition to the “other” football.

Errol and Vina Talley set up their tailgate outside Mulcahy Stadium on 15th Street before most Arizona home games. The Talleys have held this tradition since Jada’s high school days. They have an RV for this specific purpose, and they even leave it in Tucson after the season ends.

“When time permitted, we did it at all her games,” Errol Talley said.

Jada Talley, a native of Corona, California, said that the presence of her family helps her feel more at home playing in Tucson.

“I think my parents missed one game since I’ve been here,” the sophomore said. “I don’t know, it’s just good ... It’s kind of like you never left home.”

While the transition from high school to college is a big step for anybody, Jada Talley didn’t come to Arizona alone.

Left back Sabrina Enciso played with Talley on So Cal Blues SC. But their relationship goes deeper than that. They lived together last year in the dorms and are living together this year, as well.

Jada Talley and Enciso’s relationship doesn’t stop with the two of them. Their parents are friends as well. Errol Talley actually discussed tailgating with Sabrina Enciso’s parents, Daniel and Elizabeth Enciso.

“The soccer community and families are really close,” Errol Talley said. “Jada and Sabs [had] 11 of their teammates go Pac-12. So we know a lot of people. Sabs’ parents and I talked about doing this during club. Once we saw everyone going Pac-12, the parents have been looking forward to this.”

The Talleys give a lot of credit to Arizona head coach Tony Amato for helping them make the tailgate a reality.

Errol said that he mentioned the idea to Amato, who “loved the idea.”

Amato himself reiterated how much he likes the tailgates and values the communal aspect that they bring to the program.

“I think it’s awesome,” Amato said of the tailgates. “Errol brings his RV and tries to get the parents and friends of the program together. I hope people keep getting the word out about that. He’s welcoming to all people to join his tailgate there and just kind of have some camaraderie before the game. Hopefully it continues to grow, but it’s pretty awesome. I’m glad they do it.”

Amato’s fondness for the communal aspect of the tailgates originates in his belief in the importance of involving not only his players on a social level, but also their parents.

“It’s really important that you have relationships with

your players and their families,” Amato said. “I don’t want them to be families that we don’t know, don’t talk to us, are distant from us. I want to be connected to them. We need them involved in the process to help their daughters grow from their four-year experience with us.”

Errol and Vina Talley have used tailgating as a way of connecting with the rest of Arizona soccer’s parents and the greater Arizona soccer community. And hey, why should American football have all the fun?

As Errol Talley said, “Football does it. Why not us?”

SPORTS | FAMILIES AND STUDENT-ATHLETES

Bonding with family through sports COMMENTARY

BY ROB KLEIFIELD @RobKleifield

T

he bond between student-athletes and family is sacred for more reasons than one.

Some players participate in a sport to make their families proud, while others sacrifice normalcy for the chance to build a successful future.

Those fortunate enough get to share unforgettable moments with their families at games and make up for lost time during winter and summer breaks.

Some players, though, find themselves farther from home than others, and sometimes it’s not possible for players with conflicting schedules to embrace loved ones. That’s why, for collegiate student-athletes, nothing is as special as family time.

When I was a freshman on the football team, my family couldn’t have played a bigger role. They regularly attended games and supported me throughout the year.

I chose to accept a preferred walk-on offer coming out of high school because of my love for the game and desire to play at the highest level.

I also wanted to continue to make my parents proud and set a good example for my younger brother.

There’s no doubt in my mind that some form of family is instrumental to all student-athletes’ success.

Playing a sport at a Division I school is challenging enough.

Teams are comprised of the best athletes from surrounding areas and often lure talented players from across the country. Arizona, specifically, boasts premier student-athletes from all over the world.

This competitive environment becomes even more evident when athletes are tasked with maintaining a high grade point average.

Student-athletes that fail to meet certain standards fall further under the scrutiny of their coaches.

This expectation creates a dynamic that holds each and every team member responsible for his or her success, both out on the field and in the classroom.

As grueling as schoolwork and team activities can be, the mere thought of family is typically enough to motivate

student-athletes to continue grinding.

Everybody has a unique story, whether it be upbringing, prior accomplishments or future goals, but none of it would be possible without the loving care of family.

Family can come in all shapes and sizes. Parents and siblings are the most obvious, but in some cases family doesn’t necessarily consist of just blood relatives.

For some student-athletes, family is defined as the people that helped them get to where they are today.

Former and current teammates and coaches can certainly qualify as family.

Crying, celebrating, sweating and bleeding next to one another has an unspoken effect on individuals striving towards the same goal.

During the academic school year, when student-athletes are immersed in the bulk of their classes and training programs, family serves as an outlet for stress and frustration.

When the going gets tough, studentathletes find comfort confiding in those closest to them.

Family can also serve as consistent motivation.

Whether they’re present and capable of assisting in decision-making or are able to visit during periods of time off, family has the power to ignite work ethic beyond belief.

In times of despair, family is always there. And when the time for celebration calls, family is the first to receive word.

The majority of Division I athletic programs feature some form of yearround training.

From basketball and football to swimming and golf, collegiate sports consume the lives of student-athletes from the moment they wake up at the crack of dawn, until they’ve finished with organized activities at night.

Family’s role in all of this chaos cannot be overstated.

It’s imperative for student-athletes to have solid support systems, and family tends to find a way to the center of it all.

For Arizona’s student-athletes, Family Weekend will be as fun a time as ever.

Players from each sport will eagerly await the arrival of their loved ones, and for those whose families cannot make the trip, the eventual reunion will become even more memorable.

Student-athletes don’t always have it easy, but family makes the unrelenting process of playing collegiate sports more than worth it.

PJ JOHNSON: SOLID GOLD

BY MARK LAWSON @TheLawson_1

“A big grizzly bear” are the words Arizona sophomore linebacker Tony Fields II used when asked to describe redshirt junior defensive tackle PJ Johnson. While Johnson might be straight out of the movie “The Revenant” on the field, off it he is more Berenstain Bears.

The Northern California native can be easily pointed out, not because of his 6-foot-4, 335-pound frame, but by his gold grill, which he wears on his top and bottom teeth.

“When I was young, we had the hyphy movement,” Johnson said.

“Everybody had dreads and gold teeth, so I became influenced.”

The defensive tackle even wears the grill in games, with a mouthpiece to protect it.

Johnson came to Tucson by way of City College of San Francisco. He started his career at Sacramento State before leaving due to a tumor in his leg.

“They didn’t really handle it properly,” Johnson said. “Everyone decided it would be best to leave after having those discussions.”

During his freshman season of college, Johnson’s appendix also burst during a routine night at home.

“My stomach had hurt during the day, and then that night I was throwing up for hours,” said Johnson. “My mom thought I was just being dramatic, but finally I told her I felt like I was going to die.”

Johnson describes this point in his life as the toughest part, due to his grandfather also passing away.

“

“I was in the hospital for six weeks and lost 60 pounds,” Johnson said.

“I was in and out of the hospital for six weeks with intestine problems. I always think, ‘If I quit, then what?’

You might as well keep pushing or else you’ll be in a bad place.”

Johnson has two kids, Tolu and Kiara, who live back in Sacramento.

He credits Tolu for helping him out of the dark place he was in while in the hospital.

“Having a baby helped me fight through everything,” the transfer said.

“I strive to never fail so I can give my kids a better life.”

Johnson sees them regularly, as they attend every home game to watch him play.

After having his tumor removed in January 2017, Johnson decided on City College to get back into football. He made 4.5 sacks and 17 tackles in 10 games to get back onto the national radar, but was not receiving much attention from Power-5 schools.

A week before signing day, Arizona MADELEINE VICECONTE | THE DAILY WILDCAT was not even on his radar.

“That’s what made me who I am,” experience a coaching change.

Johnson will continue to be a key piece Johnson said. “I feel like if you represent for an Arizona defense that ranks near the bottom of the Pac-12 in sacks and tackles for a loss.

I “We just have to attack it like we would any other game,” Johnson said.

“If you take it as more than just another game, things get over your head.”

I always think, ‘If I quit, then what?’ You might as well keep pushing or else you’ll be in a bad place.” — PJ JOHNSON

ARTS & LIFE | SCAVENGER HUNT

Wildcat Scavenger Hunt

BY FRIDA GOMEZ @_FridaGomez_

Women’s Plaza of Honor

Turtle Pond The pond is located right off Park Avenue by the Manzanita-Mohave dorm. The turtle pond is part of the Historic District, established in 1986, and it serves as a peaceful place to unwind in the company of koi and turtles.

Built in 2004, the garden walkway honors the accomplishments and lives of women in Arizona and around the world. It is located on University Boulevard.

“The Arizona Wildcat Family” statue

Centennial Hall The historic landmark was built in 1937 as the University of Arizona’s “Main Auditorium”. It was renovated in 1985, with a capacity of 2,526 and was renamed Centennial Hall. It is located near the university’s Main Gate on University Boulevard.

Located on the UA mall, the sculpture depicts a Wildcat proudly standing guard as a family of cats plays below.

Created by wildlife artist Nicholas Wilson, the statue was the biggest sculpture ever done by Wilson, who has been painting and sculpting wildlife for over 50 years.

Scientists in front of the Henry Koffler Building Named in honor of previous UA President Henry Koffler, the archway at the entrance of the building pays tribute to scientific discoveries made at UA. It was designed by George Greenamyer in the early 1990s.

Rose Garden Located on the East side of the Forbes Building on campus, the roses growing belong to the campus arboretum.

Main Gate Square A popular retail and dining strip between Euclid Avenue and Park Avenue often referred to as Main Gate Square or University Boulevard. Grab a bite to eat at Illegal Pete’s or a cup of tea at the Scented Leaf.

Arizona Stadium

“The Unicorn” statue

Meinel Optical Sciences Building

Built in 1928, the historic stadium boasts a capacity of 56,000+. The eastern side of the stadium proudly declares “Home of the Wildcats”. The letters glow red at night, making it visible from a few blocks away.

Sculpted by Nancy Pohanic, the sculpture is located in the courtyard garden area west of the Steve Eller Dance Theatre. The inscription reads: “‘To discover a unicorn is to find eternal hope and beauty.’ — David Berkey”

It’s not about red brick anymore. Meinel uses its copper skin to shield its concrete sides from the sun. Its glass facade on the north side allows natural light into the interior.

Its lobby holds a miniature museum that pays homage to the history of optic sciences.

Old Main/Fountain The first and only building present on campus when the University of Arizona opened in 1891, Old Main was home to classrooms, offices, laboratories, a photography dark room and the dorms for 32 students and six faculty members. You can take a seat on the steps of Old Main or sit by the fountain that stands in front of its doors.

OPINION

For out-of-state students, every bit of family time is special COLUMNIST

MIKAYLA BALMACEDA @kayBalmaceda_

I

’m wondering if Family Weekend is worth our families making the trip?

Family weekend is an opportunity for students to show their families around the campus, get their much-needed grocery shopping done and just have some good, ol’ fashioned family time. But family can visit whenever, not just Family Weekend. So what’s the big deal?

This year, Family Weekend is Oct. 5 through 7. The UA offers many events and activities for students and their families over this special weekend, including football tickets for Saturday, Oct. 6 where we’ll be hosting the California Golden Bears. The Family Weekend football game is normally a popular game, and tickets sell pretty quickly according to UA’s Family Weekend website.

The UA offers a lot of events for Family Weekend. Starting at 6 a.m. on Friday, the UA has a whole schedule planned for the entire weekend. The UA offers a Wildcat Experience Package that includes a Family Weekend t-shirt, Family Fun Zone Pass, access to a Family Weekend photo booth and a lanyard. They are offering this package for $22 per family member, $18 for UA students. The Family Fun Zone takes place on Oct. 6 from 4-6 p.m. on the UA Mall. Without the Experience Package, the Zone

costs $5. The Zone is said to be a great event for family members of all ages. It’s basically a huge tailgate before the 7 p.m. football game. They have fun inflatables, games, prizes, photo-ops and family fun challenges.

Without the Family Fun Zone, a lot of the UA fraternities and sororities also offer their students and families activities and events for family weekend. The fraternities also normally do tailgates as well before the big Family Weekend football game (but Theta Chi and Theta Xi are the only fraternities with family weekend tailgates on the UA family weekend schedule).

Family Weekend at the UA seems to be all about the tailgating and football game. The UA does offer other activities, including the Parents & Family Association golf challenge at Topgolf, meeting UA President Dr. Robert Robbins and Campus Recreation’s free facility use for families with a number of outdoor events.

Family Weekend is a great time at the UA. There is an obvious, happier vibe. In all honesty, any family time is worth it, no matter what you decide to do, with or without all the special events and activities. The students are happy to just be with their families, parents are excited see their kids and to experience the college lifestyle and siblings are just psyched to be included. We’ve been in school for about a month and a half, and we have another month and a half until our next break, Thanksgiving. The UA has students from all over the country, even out of the country, so Family Weekend is a great time to get together.

OPINION | TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Who, in your family, inspires you the most?

Family members will forever be a strong source of inspiration, hope and reliable advice.

This week we ask the Daily Wildcat staff who inspires them in their families

PASCAL ALBRIGHT

Inspiration comes in many forms, from seeing someone do a good deed to seeing a motivational quote on a mug. Whatever form it takes is something that we all should hold dear. My inspiration comes in the form of my 13-year old brother.

Cassidy Albright, my youngest sibling, is my inspiration every day. He is growing up fast and is taking life by the horns. He inspires me because he is figuring out life at his own pace. With the age gap I can act like a role model, but I am not with him nearly enough to give him footsteps to follow in.

It inspires me that he is taking what he knows, doing what he loves and making friendships and relationships with the people he meets. He grows in school and stays positive in all environments. That is what gives me hope and love for the future. Most inspirations come from people you literally look up to, but in this case, when I look up to him I actually, look slightly down.

To follow your dreams and take a smile with you is something that we all should learn from, and Cassidy does just that. He will always be seven years younger than me, but I look at him and get that drive to keep going and find my place in this world.

ARIDAY SUED

Many people have touched my life and influenced me positively. However, those who have inspired me are special gems that have captured my soul. I know they would never leave my life, regardless of when they came in. I am dedicating this piece to my stepdad, Wilber Gonzalez.

Wilber is a simple man who does very little for himself but will always go out of his way for others. He moved to the United States from Puerto Rico to pursue a better life with no idea about what he was going to confront in addition to the language barrier.

Despite those circumstances, he has come a very long way and inspires me.

Although Wilber is not my biological father, he acts as one. Wilber works a full-time job and ministers a church along with my mother in New Jersey, all while taking care of my baby siblings Sophia and Abiel. He is not only a father figure to me and my siblings but also to our church congregation. He is highly dependable and often depended on, and despite the stress and trials he may be under, he never leaves anyone behind. Although I am far from home, I know Wilber will always have my back, and I am extremely thankful for that.

TONI MARCHEVA

My mom is a frank woman who scares people with her Russian accent, lacks judgement about the appropriateness of certain actions in certain situations and has little interest in learning American conventions of behaviors. So many people stop there, never getting to know the most amazing person I’ve met.

She never lets fear stop her. She broke from all of the teachings she had received as a child to follow her dream to immigrate to the United States, leaving behind her family and staying in foreign lands along the way. In doing so, she gave me every opportunity I have before me. She boldly stands up for her faith. She also stands up for me, even when it shook up the relationship we had with other family members. My mom gives the most comforting hugs I have ever felt, and she is the only person who has ever made me fall on the floor laughing.

I think, though, that the most inspiring thing about her is how she carries through life. She’s always learning more about what life is, she never pretends she is someone who she isn’t and doesn’t pretend to have all of the answers. I hope someday to fully learn this from her — to see life as a magical thing, to find the beauty in simplicity and to boldly live without hiding behind a facade.

JASMINE DEMERS Whenever anyone asks who my biggest inspiration is, I immediately think of my dad. Born in the 70s and a self-proclaimed “Metal Head,” my dad filled our home with music, laughter and unconditional love. He has been through more and overcome more than anyone that I know, but he has never failed in providing for our family and being my biggest supporter.

A few years ago, my dad was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease, a genetic disease that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. HD is a fatal disease, and there is currently no cure. My dad deals with the symptoms of this illness everyday, and even on his worst days, he remains the strongest, most encouraging person that I know.

My dad never forgets to remind me that he is my biggest fan. He taught me that giving up is not an option and that I can do anything as long as I believe in myself. If I turn out to be even half the person he is today, I will consider myself an extraordinary human being.

OPINION

No family coming this weekend? No problem COLUMNIST

ARIDAY SUED @DailyWildcat

F

amily Weekend is one of those weekends that a student never forgets. The University of Arizona in general provides the most extreme day parties, football games and activities, but nothing compares to Family Weekend.

Despite not having any of my family come to Family Weekend (because Philadelphia is a long way away), I could still feed off of the energy it brought.

Last year, I lived in a dorm close to both Old Main and University Boulevard. From the moment I woke up that Friday of Family Weekend, I felt and knew that everyone was already celebrating. What makes Family Weekend so wild is that many of the students’ parents are alumni, so they are ready to relive their glory days. If they are not alumni, students will for sure show them how UA gets down. That is the beautiful aspect of

the UA: even if you are not familiar with the school, surroundings or traditions, people are extremely willing to show you and more likely than not include you.

Initially I felt nostalgic and upset the week leading up to Family Weekend because, of course, I missed my family, especially my baby siblings. I wanted them more than ever to experience what everyone else’s family was. I wanted to show them around and how to bear down.

It is absolutely normal to feel that way on a weekend that is filled with the reminder of everything you miss.

Good thing I was wrong! Yes, my family was not here, but Family Weekend is one that anyone at the UA can enjoy! As soon as I stepped onto University Boulevard, I saw a whole bunch of my friends and acquaintances who, as expected, asked me where my family was. I was truthful, and they ended up inviting me to join whatever they were doing for the day. I was overwhelmed by invitations to be “adopted” for the weekend and was also overwhelmed

with the amount of attention and care people were willing to give me, even though I was not a true family member. This act of kindness really convinced me for the 1000th time that I made the right decision to attend the UA. Here I always feel included and wanted. I believe it’s crucial for every university to have this spirit, because it allows students to truly grow a love for their school.

I am aware that not everyone may find themselves in the same circumstances that allow themselves to be “adopted” for the weekend, so if you find yourself alone this Family Weekend here are some tips on how to stay busy and stay local:

If these tips do not look appealing to you, I would really encourage you to just go out and walk around campus, hit up your friends and ask them to join their fun. It is definitely a 10/10 experience! The energy at UA is contagious, and everyone should be able to enjoy it. It is the type of energy that just makes you want to buy every piece of UA swag in the bookstore, because you truly just want everyone to know you go to the best university ever.

If you take one thing from this, know that you are not alone. Just because your family is not at Family Weekend does not mean you cannot have fun. Take it from me! Everyone’s experience is different; discover yours in the most UA-possible way.

CYRUS NORCROSS | THE DAILY WILDCAT

UA FRESHMAN ELIZABETH GOETZ opens her laptop to watch Game of Thrones in her dorm room. Goetz says she is adjusting well to dorm life and has set up her room to have a homey feel to it.

Freshmen on first year away from home Personal freedom, increased responsibilities and a lessened dependence on parents are all part of moving away from home. For these freshmen, their experiences have been, in one word, fun

BY JANELLE ASH @JanelleAshxx

College is a place where people can get a fresh start. Some people opt to move away from home and relocate far away from the life they have always known. For some freshman here on campus, the University of Arizona’s Family Weekend is the first time they will be reunited with their loved ones since move-in.

For freshman Sierra Moore, these first few months of college have been fun but also hectic. She is from Orange County, California and has not seen her family since they moved her into her dorm in August.

“Time management has been the hardest part when it comes to college, because it is exciting hanging out with new people and going out to do fun things, but it’s hard

to remember I am here to do school work and study,” Moore said. Her family will be taking the trip to Tucson for Family Weekend, and she is most excited to take them to restaurants where she does not have to pay using her CatCard.

Ecology freshman Kaili Ogden has been learning how to fully live on her own and properly manage her time between fun and her studies. Ogden is from South Elgin, Illinois which is right outside of Chicago. She is very excited to see her mom, whom she has not seen since move-in.

“I am looking forward to showing my mom around campus and giving her a look into a day in my life, as well as being able to talk to her face-to-face,” Ogden said.

Ogden will be taking her mom to her sorority’s gala event, which happens to be during Family Weekend, as well as taking her to the Cal vs. Arizona football game.

Clarissa Flores is a pre-law major and is originally from El Paso, Texas, but she currently lives with her family here in Tucson. Even though she lives with them, she is excited to show them her sorority house and introduce her family to her new friends.

“The hardest part for me has been adjusting to the new people I have met and the constant heat. As a freshman, my semester has gone well so far. It definitely has been a different pace,” Flores said.

Flores did not anticipate the workload that is required of college students and has been trying to manage to stay on top of classes and have a social life.

Megan Straffon is a psychology major and moved to Tucson from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Straffon has been struggling with the distance between her and her family and also has had a hard time adjusting to the different time zones.

There are many events the University of Arizona will be hosting throughout the weekend, but freshmen seem most excited to spend time with their families and show them what they have been up to these past few months.

Reuniting with their loved ones may be the stress reliever that freshman students have been needing.

NEWS | ALTERNATIVE FAMILY WEEKEND

SALT Center: family, fun and function

BY NAGISA TSUKADA @ntsukada120_130

The Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques Center will hold its 26th annual Family Weekend Celebration and Awards Ceremony and the first Freshman Parent Breakfast on Friday, Oct. 5.

According to Miller, Family Weekend is important to SALT Center because it is a good opportunity to involve and reunite families, especially because families play an important role in the community.

Recognized and awarded The Awards Ceremony will recognize and honor “students’ achievement, their engagement and their persistence,” according to the SALT Center director Gabrielle Miller. The ceremony will also honor partners and donors.

In the ceremony, students are given awards if they demonstrated “something special.” The awards were picked by the learning specialists who advise students.

Hannah Harper is one of the students who received an award last semester. When she asked a learning specialist how she could get an award, the specialist said to her, “We have to recognize you. We have to see you overcome something or show something positive in you.”

Miller said they have some different awards to give to different types of students, for example awards for active students and independent learners.

One unique award is Michelle Combs Award. This award was created a few years ago to honor a graduate who died from a motorcycle crash.

“She had a tremendous spirit,” Miller said. “She was adventurous, excited, goal-oriented, focused student.”

Students who are recognized as having the same spirit as Combs get the award. Combs’ father, who is from northern California, will be in attendance at the ceremony.

Breakfast and family The Freshman Parent Breakfast is a new event hosted

by Mickey and Sheryl Haas, an alumnus and his wife who used to have a student in the program, according to SALT Center marketing specialist Isaac Flater.

As both an alumnus and a parent, Mickey Haas and his wife have a unique perspective. They would like to provide opportunities for parents to meet other parents, exchange information and support each other, according to Flater.

Mickey Haas also continues to be very involved with the SALT Center, serving on the SALT Center Alumni Board.

“He, himself, went through the SALT Center and has remained very, very active in supporting the university,” Miller said. “And now he has a unique perspective as a both alumnus and a parent of a current student. So he is very excited to be hosting this event and he is also connected to our alumni advisory group.

So we are delighted he and his wife are hosting the event.”

Mickey and Sheryl Haas live in Maine and have two sons attending the UA. An in-depth look at the SALT Center SALT Center has provided fee-based support to

SOFIA MORAGA | THE DAILY WILDCAT

OSCAR LUGAN MANS THE front desk of the SALT Center located on Second Street and Highland Avenue The SALT Center helps students with learning disabilities, offering tutors and mentors to guide students toward academic success.

undergraduate students who have challenges studying by themselves for almost 40 years. Students need to apply once to enroll and they pay each semester to be in the program.

“All of us learn differently, all of our brains function very differently,” Miller said. “Students who come to the SALT Center tend to know or understand a little bit more about how they learn best, and so we help them be successful here at the University of Arizona.”

Although it depends on individuals, most students apply when they enter the UA and spend two semesters with the support of SALT Center.

“Every story is different, and we like to support students, whoever they are, and help their events,” Miller said. “Most of our students are freshmen and sophomores, but we have a number of upper division students, too.”

Approximately 700 students are in the SALT support program this semester and studying with learning experts and technologies.

Each student needs different support. For example, some students have formal diagnoses of learning disabilities, while other students do not.

Learning experts meet with students once a week and deal with academic troubles together. Also, tutors with certification help students.

Harper, a sophomore, has used the program for a year. She has used Macs, tutor appointments, specialized classes and the reading lab.

Moreover, she says she is “a visual learner, and the SALT Center helped her understand materials easier, using their equipment and technology.”

“It was very helpful. It just helped me understand it more,” Harper said.

The SALT Center also has partnerships with other campus units including Rec Center. The SALT Center especially has strong connections with THINK TANK and the UA Thrive Center because those three are a part of a campus team, called Student Success and Retention Innovation.

For example, if students at the SALT Center need extra help, they may go to THINK TANK for more resources and vise versa.

Another mission of the SALT Center is to provide as many scholarship opportunities as possible. They work hard with foundations and other donors to financially help their students.

“We have a lot of alumni and families who recognize the support their student received from the SALT Center and want to give back and help other students,” Miller said. “So many students receives scholarships, and that’s a big part of what we do, is help to raise money, so that anyone who wants to come to SALT Center at anytime, the money isn’t an issue.”

According to Miller, although most students enroll in the program for their first fall semester, current UA students can apply now for admittance next year.

family blame game Being an adult apparently does not mean that you can’t still blame everything on your parents.

At least, that’s what one drunk University of Arizona student thought when he was caught by a University of Arizona Police Department officer during Family Weekend 2015.

The officer was going about his patrol of the area near Arizona Stadium during the football game against Oregon State on Oct. 10.

While patrolling, he spotted a male student displaying signs of intoxication.

According to the officer, the student was leaning against one of the stadium pillars.

He looked as though he was having a hard time remaining upright and maintaining his balance.

The officer approached the student and proceeded to note further signs of intoxication.

The student’s speech was slurred and incomprehensible. His eyes were bloodshot.

His person gave off the odor of intoxicants.

When questioned, the student told the officer he was 19 years old. According to the student, his parents were the ones who gave him not one beer, but two.

Medical respondents arrived on scene to evaluate the student. Once they cleared him, the officer called the student’s mother.

His mother told the officer that she did not give her son beer. She soon arrived on the scene to claim her son.

The officer diverted the student to the Dean of Students Office for underage drinking.

elevator caper Two intoxicated women were in for an awkward ride when they entered the same elevator as some UAPD officers during Family Weekend 2013.

The officers were in the lobby of a UA residence hall in the early morning hours of Oct. 18 when they noticed two young women walk in and head towards the elevators.

The first woman, who, according to the officers, appeared relatively sober, was physically supporting the second woman, who was having difficulty keeping her balance.

The second woman also had vomit on the front of her clothes.

The women and the officers entered the elevator. Once inside the elevator, it became clear to the officers that both women smelled strongly of intoxicants.

During the ride, the officers began to speak with the women. The first woman identified

herself as a UA student living in that residence hall.

She told the officer that the second woman was a sophomore in high school and a friend of hers from California who was in town for Family Weekend.

The first woman then told officers that she and her friend had gone to several different offcampus parties, where they had both drunk alcohol.

The officers called the Tucson Fire Department to evaluate the condition of the second woman, who could not maintain her balance during the conversation and had to sit down. She was then taken to the UA Medical Center for treatment.

don’t fall for it The officers cited and released both women on charges of minors in possession in the body.

Two young women found themselves in a truly flooring experience, when a UAPD officer stopped them for underage drinking during Family Weekend 2011.

The officer was patrolling the area near Euclid Avenue at 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 24 when he spotted two women, one of which was staggering about.

Upon stopping the women, the officer noticed that both had the odor of intoxicants on them.

When questioned, the first woman, the one who had had trouble walking, told the officer that she was 18 years old and had been drinking.

The second woman stepped up and stated that she was a UA student and also 18 years old, though she had no identification on her.

The officer told the women that he would be citing the both of them on charges of minor in possession.

Upon hearing this news, the second woman locked her knees and fell backward onto the ground. She sat up after approximately 20 seconds and never lost consciousness.

The officer called for medical assistance.

Once medical personnel arrived, they treated the second woman.

When asked where she lived the second woman said, “Coronado.” However, Coronado Residence Hall was not open at the time. The second woman then revealed that she, along with the first woman, was only 17 years old and did not actually attend the university.

The second woman told the officer that her mother were in town for Family Weekend. The officer called a woman who he initially believed to be the mother, but noticed she sounded very young. The woman on the phone admitted to being the second woman’s sister.

The officer handcuffed the second woman and transported her to the Pima County Juvenile Court Center.

Once there, the first woman’s mother arrived and signed the “Parent’s Promise to Appear” referral to release her daughter’s friend.

NEWS | CAMPUS REC

New fitness incentives at the UA Rec Among many other Family Weekend events, the University of Arizona Campus Recreation Center will also provide acitivities for families to participate in. Here's what you can look forward to

BY KAALI ROBERTS @kaali_Dee

Self-defense, German longsword, cooking classes, yoga, body pump and high intensity training. Any of these spark your interest?

Family Weekend is approaching, and the University of Arizona Campus Recreation Center is participating in the festivities.

“The more we can showcase our offerings and encourage all students to participate [through special programs or the support of their families], the more likely we are to touch every student at least once during their time at the University of Arizona,” said Tara Watson, assistant director of marketing and communications for Campus Recreation.

Recently, the Rec Center has been promoting new amenities that will become available to students and their families during Family Weekend.

Starting on Oct. 5 and going until Oct. 7, the facility is granting all-weekend access, including night hikes, outdoor zip-lining – all free.

The new incentives are driven by the university’s urge for inclusion, according to Ryan Ring, a Rec Center staff member. “We would like more students to get engaged, and that’s the whole mission for the Campus Rec – to serve the student population,” he said.

Various classes catering to a diverse audience have opened a flood gate of possibilities for the improvement with student involvement at the center.

“The rec isn’t just a place to work out.

We’re here to provide as many activities and services to encompass all of the students,” Ring said. “That is why we have chess, checkers, fencing, it’s not just a regular gym, we don’t tailor to just a small community.”

Senior journalism student Alex Gonzalez said that the implementation of additional events has impacted his forthcoming week positively.

“Normally, my family comes down for one day for Family Weekend, and some come for the whole weekend,” he said. “Finding out about the new events have actually convinced my parents to stay longer to engage in activities

that usually wouldn’t be free of expense.”

If you’re into spin, body pump or yoga classes, it’s best to secure your spot on the rec website or show up earlier than the time it is scheduled to start.

“Our spin classes, body pump and yoga classes always fill up the fastest, it’s just something that everyone seems to be into,” Ring said. High participation classes as such are usually made available through a purchase of $7 or buying an all-inclusive pass but will remain free during Family Weekend.

In an event that has the potential of generating a high level of traffic at the recreation center, additional measures are employed for the safety of students.

“We don’t want people from off the street walking in,” said Troy Vaughn, director of Campus Recreation. “You must be a student with a valid CatCard.”

A student must accompany all family members who wish to partake in the services offered for the weekend. Legal photo ID is required for entrance. If a participant is under the age of 18, a legal guardian or parent must accompany them, and they do not have access to weights.

According to Ring, there are no charts that show the level of intensity of the classes.

The class intensities are not specified but can be verified by searching the name of the class on the Rec website and reading the class description. If still unsure, ask an instructor before the class begins.

Campus Rec boasts more than 100 events during the year, including hiking trips. If you don't get to join in the upcoming events, don't despair; there are a multiplicity that will be at your disposal throughout the year.

Visit the official UA campus recreation website for additional information regarding the upcoming events.
