Inked at the UA: Educators, students hold sentiment in tattoos

Pg. 9 TOM PRICE /THE DAILY WILDCAT

ALISSA NEAL, A THIRDYEAR graduate student in the 3D extended media program, shows off her tattoos outside the Art building on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Her tattoos are a representation of what she has achieved and wants to achieve in her lifetime.

Researcher Evan MacLean is leading cutting-edge research at UA’s new Canine Cognition Center in the Emil W. Haury building.

The Canine Cognition Center studies the behaviors and thought processes of dogs.

MacLean is a biological anthropologist and comparative psychologist who previously ran Duke University’s Canine Cognition Center.

“At first, I thought it was going to be a little foray,” MacLean said. “Now I’m at the UA starting their Canine Cognition Center.”

MacLean will be looking at two central questions: What makes human psychology unique, and how and why does cognition evolve?

“I’m motivated by questions that will take more than a lifetime to answer,” MacLean said.

Funding comes from the UA as well as a number of public and private sources, from places like the National Institute of Health to pet food companies.

MacLean runs tests on dogs similar to the tests behavioral psychologists give to children. He said that dogs function much like human children in their thought processes. The goal

OSIRIS-REx team member retires

BY HANNAH DAHL @DailyWildcat

While most people might consider themselves fortunate to see a single rocket launch in their lifetime, Ed Beshore has seen four, including one he helped build.

From rocket launching to asteroid hunting, Beshore has had a vast impact on the space industry, from constructing automated

telescopes for the Catalina Sky Survey to designing software for the OSIRIS-REx mission.

Beshore, currently the deputy principal investigator on the OSIRIS-REx mission, will retire on Oct. 4, his 62nd birthday. His history of space work within the UA began in 1973 when he graduated from high school and began studying astronomy at the university.

After graduating with an undergraduate degree in astronomy, he left the field to become a software engineer. It wasn’t until the ‘90s that he

@DAILYWILDCAT

reignited his passion for astronomy, constructing an observatory in his backyard in Colorado and automating his telescope so that it could search the sky without his physical presence. He was offered a position on the Catalina Sky Survey team in Tucson, doing the same type of work he had done with his telescope.

Through his work on the sky survey, he became involved with the OSIRIS-REx mission.

American Airlines starts nonstop, daily flights from Tucson to New York

BY LEAH MERRALL @leahmerrall

Tucson International Airport will begin offering a daily non-stop flight to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on American Airlines starting Oct. 6.

The flight leaves at 8:15 a.m. local time and arrives in New York at 4:02 p.m. Eastern time. Fares for a one-way ticket start at $365, according to American Airline’s online reservation website. The return flight leaves at 5 p.m. Eastern time and arrives in Tucson at 7:34 p.m. local time.

The inauguration of this route has been almost three years in the making, according to TIA’s Senior Director of Business Development and Marketing, David Hatfield. The Tucson Metro Chamber of Commerce created a task force to help start the process.

They approached every airline at TIA that currently has flights to New York, plus two outside airlines, Hatfield said. Finally, American Airlines took interest.

But that was just the start. The task force, led by Bill Assenmacher of Caid Construction and Humberto Lopez of HSL Properties, collaborated with the Tucson business community and put together roughly $3 million for insurance protection.

This means that the airline can tap into this fund if the flights don’t fill to capacity.

According to Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild, the flight fulfills a demand that exists in Tucson for the tourism industry, the UA and for the business community.

The route also creates a direct connection between Tucson and the east coast, something that was not possible before.

“The importance of the flight to Tucson is actually turning out more than what I thought,” Rothschild said. “I don’t think that you can say directly that this flight

produces jobs, but I think what you can say is that to have that ease of connection between Tucson and the east coast makes every chance for the economy to get better.”

Visit Tucson, a local tourism company, said that people who visit from New York are likely to stay longer, thus spend more money, Hatfield said. This holds true even more for European tourists. The non-stop flight to New York also opens Tucson to the gateway of Europe, and because the flight leaves in the morning and arrives in the early afternoon, unlike many West Coast city flights to New York that are red-eyes, travelers have the opportunity to catch connecting flights across the Atlantic.

Hatfield said that American Airlines is impressed by the strong sales that include European connections so far.

“This basically shows us that Tucson is a strong market—American Airlines now believes it—so we’ve got things happening in the economy and this sort of just emphasizes that point,” Hatfield said. “It’s a vote of confidence in us and the economy and how it’s grown and it feeds right back into things.”

For UA students from the New York City area, this direct flight eases travel logistics.

Before those students would have to drive to the airport in Phoenix, two hours away, to catch a non-stop flight. Now, they can

leave right from Tucson.

For Carlee Bodner, a family studies and human development junior from Long Island, this flight is extremely convenient.

“I’m really excited that there are now direct flights from Tucson to New York,” Bodner said. “I think that these flights are going to be convenient for students that are from New York because it will provide less travel time.”

TIA also launched a non-stop flight to Hermosillo, Mexico on Oct. 3, making it a busy week full of new flights. The Hermosillo flight is significant because it gets more people involved since the customs facilities inside the airport had to start up again, Hatfield said, and it connects to a sizeable hub in Mexico.

Both new non-stop flights—New York and Hermosillo—present logistical advantages that have the opportunity to establish Tucson as a more versatile hub.

Rothschild said that now that American Airlines is in the mix with New York, the Tucson Airport Authority can go back to the list of which cities are in demand, a list constructed by analysts hired to gauge the market. He said that the city is in talks with a number of other cities about establishing non-stop flights and that he especially hopes to connect back to the Washington D.C. and Baltimore area.

For the airport, the Tucson community, the tourism industry, the business community and the economy overall, this new non-stop flight opens a lot of doors, Rothschild said.

“We’re just very excited,” Hatfield said.

“It’s a big deal here for the airport. And for people who work on things like this for so long, it feels good to know there’s money coming into the economy here and we’re getting some traction. We’re moving ahead now, finally.”

Social media crucial in presidential election Social media experts at the UA say social media is becoming more important than ever in political elections as millenials use it as the chosen platform for information

BY JESSICA SURIANO @jessicasuriano

Social media is expected to have more influence than ever before in this year’s presidential election and especially among millennials, according to multiple experts at the UA. Bin Zhang is an assistant professor in management information systems and social media is one of his major research interests.

“I believe this may be the first election that social media possibly determines the result,” Zhang said.

As of July 2015, there were about seven billion people in the world, and roughly 40 percent of them were on the internet, according to Zhang.

He said that about 80 percent of those people on the internet are social media users.

Zhang said that 67 percent of the world’s leaders have Twitter accounts and 139 of them are actually active users. This allows for increased interaction between authoritative figures and the public.

“But in general, I think those world leaders—everything about them is political,” Zhang said. “So you can observe them online, which is very different from the older days, in which nobody really knows what those world leaders think and do.”

The most active world leader on Twitter is President Obama, Zhang said.

“Compared with traditional media where all the content is created by those news channels or TV stations, the core concept of social media is user-generated content,” Zhang said. “In my opinion, social media definitely will create close or more active participation for people, especially young people, in getting involved in politics.”

Lindsey Ashinhurst, a freshman economics student, said that she follows politics and the election through social media because she hardly ever actively searches for political news elsewhere.

Zhang said he believes social media is now in its most popular era. He said that, while Twitter was present during the last presidential election, it was nowhere near as prevalent in politics as it is today.

“Since many millennials are multiplatform users … the chance that you get exposed to that political news and political opinions is very good,” Zhang said, “which means you do

not need traditional media to show your political opinion.”

Elise Jackson, a senior animal sciences student, said that she has been following the election mainly through social media and what people post about it because she doesn’t own a television.

Matías Bianchi is a political scientist with a Ph.D. from the Institute d´Études Politiques de Paris who now works in UA International Security Studies.

Bianchi said he believes Twitter is the most important tool for politics because it is “very aggressive.” He said Twitter can become aggressive because it allows candidates to post extremely blunt messages within short tweets.

“In 140 characters, with all the information that is there … there’s no nuance,” Bianchi said. “And real life is about nuance. Compromise is about nuance. Democracy is about nuance.”

Sudha Ram is a Ph.D. professor

of management information systems and is also the director for INSITE: Center for Business Intelligence and Analytics. Her areas of expertise include social media analytics, web analytics and enterprise data management.

Ram said that social media analysts such as herself can find out more about the demographics of people posting by looking at the biographies of users’ accounts.

Usually, this can tell them information such as users’ ages, levels of education and how often they are posting on social media.

“There’s this whole area called analytics where you can analyze the data and look at trends over time, and these studies that do that have shown that millennials are actually using it more and more,” Ram said.

Ram said that the prevalence of millennials on social media discussing politics can be tracked on social media platforms such as Twitter, as long as users are posting

publicly, which most do.

“I believe that millennials are using social media in many different ways—to communicate, to express opinion—and of course, some of that is about politics as well,” Ram said.

Ram said she believes that Facebook actually attracts more users that encompass all age groups, and because of this, she believes it is still the most popular platform overall.

In fact, she said the fastest-growing age group of users on Facebook is the people that are 50 years old or more.

“I think pretty much everybody indulges in conversations around politics, especially because we’re nearing the presidential election,” Ram said.

The prevalence of smart phones and the wide-spread availability of Wi-Fi have made constant social media use increasingly easy to engage in, according to Ram. “I think millennials want to talk about the issues and they want to learn about the

candidates,” Ram said.

Social media gives political candidates a unique medium to connect with their entire audience, according to Ram. She said, that thinking from the perspective of a candidate, they should be providing enough information on social media for the public to know what they actually think and stand for, as opposed to hearsay from other sources.

“People who are elected or hold elected positions should definitely be able to leverage it,” Ram said.

She said that the pervasiveness of social media’s role in politics nowadays was unprecedented but that “it’s come to stay.”

“I really think this is an opportunity for the candidates to expose their thinking process and what they’re actually doing for various issues,” Ram said. “Compared to the last election and the one before that, I think social media has a much larger reach now.”

Beshore’s job involved working closely with the science team to help them stay organized, as well as making sure that all the software worked together.

The OSIRIS-REx mission is unique due to the fact that it is the first spacecraft with the mission of traveling to an asteroid to bring back a sample.

The mission itself has five major objectives, but first and foremost the team hopes to bring back a sample from the surface of asteroid Bennu. In order to do this they have to ensure the spacecraft reaches Bennu safely and, once there, lands in a productive sample area.

“Like any explorer that goes to uncharted country, the first thing you do when you go ... is you make a map,” Beshore said. “And so we’re going to be mapping the asteroid very carefully, not only to prepare ourselves for finding that sample but to be able to study those maps later on and say, ‘OK, we think we know

of the center is to see how dogs learn and how their cognition evolves and therefore infer how humans once traveled the same developmental path.

MacLean and his team will use a variety of “A-not-B tests,” like resisting the urge to search for food under the same container when the food was visibly moved to a different container location, or using different techniques to overturn the containers containing the food.

While MacLean also works with primates, he’s found that chimps and bonobos don’t spontaneously respond like humans and dogs do during cooperative communication, like pointing.

“This could be because we’ve lived alongside dogs for 30,000 years, so we have an ancient relationship,” MacLean said.

MacLean said that the caninehuman relationship is strange when you consider that 40,000 years ago wolves and humans were predators at odds.

MacLean is hoping to unravel the evolution of human cognition, but there are other applications as well.

Beshore traveled to Florida for the launch of the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launch, where he said the weather conditions for the launch were perfect.

“There’s nothing quite like watching a rocket take off that’s got a spacecraft on it that you built.”

Beshore said. “While I never had my hands on the spacecraft, I’ve certainly been through many meetings where we talked about building it and the different approaches we would take.”

Dr. Caitlin Casey, an assistant professor of astronomy at the University of Austin ED BESHORE and alumna of the UA, first met Beshore on a trip with the honors college to the Catalina Sky Survey.

“This was my first ever research experience,” Casey said. “He taught me everything I know about programming from scratch, and that requires a lot of patience. He would have long conversations with me, just stop what he was doing and explain the excitement he had for different parts of the research.”

Beshore’s mentorship had a

This research could help administer a type of “aptitude test” to dogs to find out which are better suited to work certain jobs.

“Fifty percent of dogs who start training for jobs fail, so this could change that number,” MacLean said. “Dogs have different skill sets, from the tiniest little chihuahua to great danes.”

Undergraduates can intern at the Canine Cognition Center, assisting in testing and data analysis.

MacLean said the internships are open to students from any department because the questions involved “have so many angles.”

“It’s easy to get people involved,” MacLean said. “The benefits for us are a big team and undergraduates get hands-on experience.”

MacLean is depending on dog owners to volunteer and bring their dogs in to participate, as opposed to housing the center’s own dogs.

MacLean said the hardest part of owning a set group of test animals is that it takes a considerable amount of money to feed, care for and house the animals. It also restricts research to a small subject pool.

Community-sourced participants, however, are what MacLean calls a “renewable resource.”

“It’s great because it’s really,

big part in the direction Casey took her research.

“If I hadn’t had the ability to look at the broader picture and take that step back, I wouldn’t be in the same situation that I am now,” Casey said.

“This sense of perspective helped me

down the road with my Ph.D. and my work in astronomy.”

While Beshore may be leaving space exploration, he doesn’t plan to stop exploring.

“My wife and I love the outdoors,” he said. “I used to do a lot of

backpacking and rode a motorcycle in college. I want to go back and visit all the places that I’ve driven by and haven’t had time to stop.”

Heather Enos will assume the position of deputy principal investigator after Beshore’s departure.

Paid family leave is a step forward for America

BY LEAH GILCHRIST @leahcgilchrist

A

plan to give eligible employees paid leave to care for family members in need is something the U.S. should have put in place years ago.

Hillary Clinton announced early in her presidential campaign that one of her policies would include paid family leave. Her proposal for the Family Leave Act would help families with a new child and families assisting a family member with illness.

The plan is designed to help both the mother and father of a new child—no matter if the child is from a pregnancy, adoption or foster placement—and to help family members with illness. If passed, the plan would give eligible employees up to 12 weeks of paid leave, and the employee would receive two-thirds of his or her normal pay.

The proposed plan would be funded by a fair share of taxes, so it would be no additional cost to businesses. Additional taxes for the wealthiest Americans would help all Americans—even those who might not have been able to afford a day of leave—care for their families.

Clinton has been a long-time advocate of family leave from her early days as First Lady.

She had some influence in passing the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, working to ensure that it was one of the first major pieces of legislature signed by then-President Bill Clinton during his first term in office.

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, which is still in affect today, currently gives eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Though some could afford to take leave if necessary, many Americans cannot afford to take leave from work.

Since Clinton’s proposal of her plan early on in this election, Republicans have endorsed her idea of a paid family leave, including Senator Marco Rubio.

Shortly after many Republicans endorsed Clinton’s plan for paid family leave, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced his own policy on paid family leave, focusing on supporting new mothers.

This would be the first time in a presidential election that both party candidates have laid out a plan for a paid family leave as part of their

ALI ALZEEN/THE DAILY WILDCAT

proposed policies.

Out of a survey of 41 modernized countries, the U.S. was the only country that gives zero weeks of paid leave.

If nearly every modern country has a system of paid family leave and we don’t, isn’t that a sign that there’s a need for change?

Late is better than never. If Clinton’s plan were to be passed, eligible family members, both male and female, would be granted up to 12 weeks of paid leave.

Putting this act into place would bring a better balance to work and home lives and would reduce the worry and stress many people face when having to choose between working to have money or caring for a family member in need.

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. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

Giving paid leave to both parents when a new child is brought into the family normalizes the idea that both parents are equally important in the life of their child. In many cases of working families, the father takes limited paternity leave.

Allowing the parents of a new child to take paid leave would ease the stress of having to get back to work.

Having this plan would also normalize the idea of a mother taking maternity leave where she isn’t penalized for wanting to take time off to ensure the well-being of her health and her child’s health.

With the current Family and Medical Leave Act in place, women often take vacation and sick days during their leave and might receive small

amounts of pay. In countries around the world, it’s not uncommon for women, and sometimes men, to be provided with 12 weeks, or even up to 16 or 18 weeks, of paid leave.

These extended periods of leave are created to reinforce the importance of parents being at home with their families.

In the case of a situation that needs the attention of a family member, or an unexpected emergency, we’d have the safety net of knowing our finances would be secure for the moment while we figure out our family situations.

Clinton’s plan allows the American public to better balance their work lives with their home lives. In turn, this would allow a healthier, balanced lifestyle between work and home.

If not drunk driving, then let’s not forget about complications of alcoholrelated sexual assault cases. In colleges, sexual assault often occurs when both parties are under the influence. It’s hard to determine consent when the brain is numbed by alcohol.

According to a survey by Antonia Abbey, Ph.D. in the Department of Community Medicine in Wayne State University, at least 50 percent of college students’ assaults are associated with alcohol use. In one instant, you could not only ruin your life but also devastate that of someone else’s.

The common thread about the negative repercussions of excessive alcohol consumption is that it doesn’t only affect the user but another party also. The tragic part is that they never asked for anything to happen to them. It’s important to think about what all can happen when the decision is made to drink heavily one night.

Think hard, for it’s difficult to predict what the outcome may be. You never know how your life could change when you go for just “one more drink”.

Tatted up teachers: Freedom of expression or unprofessional?

BY SARAH BRIGGS @SarahBriggs11

Visible tattoos in the workplace are a touchy subject with many individuals. Some view them as freedom of expression, some as art. Others view them as inappropriate.

Stigmas about tattoos have changed, but misconceptions still remain.

There are a number of teachers and faculty with visible body art at the UA, which raises the question of whether tattoos remain unprofessional or professional within the educational workplace.

“I would say that more on a personal, rather than professional level, people tend to assume you are a certain type of person because you have tattoos,” said Spanish instructor Rebecca Pitts. “I have never felt like my tattoos have defined who I am at work, or that my employers have assumed I was less professional because of them.”

What used to be considered counterculture is now modernday art. From entry-level jobs to high-paying jobs, tattoos are becoming more visible.

“There should be no problem with having tattoos in the workplace,” said psychology freshman Julia Sochi. “As someone with two visible tattoos myself, my tattoos were and are a way to express myself in a visual way and I have made them part of who I am.”

Tattoos arguably do not detract from one’s teaching abilities, yet they can inspire many first impressions—and not always good ones.

“There are definitely still people [who] do not like them and jobs that will not allow you to have them visible,” Pitts said.

“However, I think for most people and employers, accepting tattoos is kind of inevitable at this point.”

Pitts explained that most of her tattoos were spur of the moment, and she has had to

cover up a few as a result.

While not all of them possess sentimental value, they all remind Pitts of a time in her life.

One of her tattoos is from Harry Potter, which reminds her of the times she spent waiting for each book to hit the stands.

Pitts considers getting tattoos an addiction, but also said she feels like she has never been discriminated against because of her ink.

“Here at the UA, I have never felt like my employer treated me differently because I have tattoos,” Pitts said. “I would

imagine that my students might perceive me to be a certain way, especially when they first see me.

But I have never asked.”

Some students believe in the cons of visible tattoos in the workplace, especially in a professional and educational setting. But some understand how popular they have become.

“Tattoos in the workplace can be distracting in some settings, especially based on where the tattoo is placed on the body,” said pre-business sophomore Grant Konen. “I have no conflict with teachers or students having

tattoos because tattoos are becoming more common in today’s society.”

Certain employers will oftentimes ask employees to cover up their body art within the workplace to set a certain standard throughout the company. Pitts has never been asked to hide her tattoos at the UA, but she has been asked to hide them at other jobs.

“Most of the time, it was either because of a specific dress code or because of the clientele,” Pitts said. “I think anytime that you are representing a company or

brand, they can be a bit weary about tattoos and piercings.”

There is no doubt looking professional is part of fitting the criteria for certain jobs.

But the idea that tattoos are not professional-looking or do not qualify for the workplace is a distinction that seems to be slowly changing.

“I don’t understand why employers discriminate against people with tattoos,” Sochin said. “[They] are not bad, they are just a way to express yourself.

People with tattoos deserve great jobs, too.”

Simple Swaps to Stay Lean Sometimes eating can be a mindless process where we simply go for the first thing we see. Unfortunately, this haphazard style of eating can become a habit that can lead to poor nutrition, low energy levels and unintentional weight gain. To help boost the quality of your diet, keep your mind sharp and your body lean, consider these simple food swaps.

Beverages

Lots of calories from sugary drinks can sneak their way in during the day. The worst part is, calories from these types of beverages don’t satisfy us the way solid food calories do. So, lose the liquid calories and choose low-to-no calorie drinks instead.

• Lose These: Sugar sweetened soft drinks, teas, juices, energy drinks, and coffee drinks with syrup or heavy cream.

• Choose These: Water, water flavored with citrus slices or frozen fruit, 100% vegetable juices, skim or 1% cow or plant-based milks, unsweetened teas, and black coffee or coffee with skim milk.

Entrees

Fill up without feeling weighed down!

Starch-heavy meals and fried foods are not only loaded with calories, they can zap your energy level. Lighten-up

by filling half of your plate with colorful vegetables and the other half with a combo of lean protein and whole grains.

• Lose These: Foods described as “fried” or “crispy,” including chicken, beef, pork, fish or vegetables, highly processed meats including bologna, hot dogs and sausage, foods “slathered” in thick sauces or butter and entrees in heavy cream or butter sauces.

• Choose These: Lean, fresh proteins (beef, turkey, chicken, fish) and vegetables that are baked, grilled, stir-fried or roasted and entrees described as having “light butter,” vinaigrettes or tomatobased sauces.

Snacks

Snacks have a bad reputation, but with a few modifications these betweenmeal foods can improve and enhance the quality of your overall diet.

• Lose These: Chocolate bars, sandwich crackers and cookies, fried chips, ice cream, and heavily buttered and/or sweetened popcorn or kettle corn.

• Choose These: Fresh, dried or frozen fruit, vegetables, baked chips, yogurt, nuts, seeds, and snack bars made with whole fruit and nuts.

Intl. student-athlete adjusts to language barrier at ‘little town’

BY LINDSEY OTTO @lindsotto

Joining the Wildcat family all the way from Barcelona, Spain, international student and undeclaired freshman, Alejandro Reguant has a lot of love for his home—but tennis has taken him across the globe.

“Barcelona has a lot of history—there is a lot of monuments and cathedrals,” Reguant said. “I’ve never heard anyone say Barcelona is ugly. It’s a beautiful city, but I knew I wanted to come to the U.S. When I was looking at universities, I had different options because different schools were offering me tennis scholarships, but the UA offered me the best one.”

Despite his plan to attend an American university, similar to many of his friends from home, Reguant expressed his initial apprehensions about the language barrier.

“I was nervous because I couldn’t speak English like I can now. It was a lot worse when I first came here,” Reguant said. “It was tough for me to understand conversations between friends because they spoke really fast, so it was hard and I was a bit nervous about that. I had an [economics] class where I didn’t understand anything the first day, but now I am getting used to it.”

Reguant said his familiarity with the U.S., as well as frequent traveling, made his transition easier.

“I’ve been to the U.S. four times before, but always with my family,” he said.

“I am used to traveling a lot though— around Spain and to different countries around Europe for tennis tournaments.

Everything has been pretty much how I expected but better.”

The number of opportunities and facilities available to a student athlete remained one of the largest incentives for Reguant and one of the biggest differences from his home.

“In Barcelona, there are no sports at universities,” Reguant said. “All the facilities they provide you with as an athlete here, you can’t even compare them to what is provided as an athlete in Spain.

For example, when I was at school, if you are an athlete and have to travel, they don’t give you any opportunities to help you—if you’re not in class [because of ] a match, they fail you.”

The plethora of athletic facilities the UA offers weren’t the only change. The mere layout of the campus provided a learning curve, too. “[In Spain], one building of the school, perhaps the medicine building, will be [in]

one part of the city and then the business school will be in another part,” Reguant said. “Here, everything is all in the same place; it’s like a little town.”

The geographical differences prevailed as one of many distinctions between European universities and American universities, according to Reguant.

“The other big difference is that you pay a lot here to be in a university—it’s so expensive compared to Barcelona,” Reguant said. “There, the most expensive private universities will cost maximum $9,000 a year and that’s it.

Even with these new changes, Reguant expressed some of his favorites parts of living in the U.S. “I love Panda Express, but when I am eating it, I feel like I am eating shit. So I prefer Chipotle,” he said. “I love tennis, too, but I mostly love the people. Everyone here is really friendly and it’s so easy to make friends.”

As he settles into his new life, Reguant remained optimistic about his time and future at the UA. “I want to play in the lineup—I want to play in as many matches as I can,” he said. “I want to do well in tennis. I want to do well in school. My long-term goal is to probably get a degree and be the best tennis player in the history here at the UA.”

UAMA exhibit explores language, nature

BY SHANE HOLLY @ShaneHolly94

UA Museum of Art presents its newest exhibition by artist Michael Haykin, “Fifteen Indelible Lives,” this Thursday.

After being asked to create this collection specifically for this space, the curators at the museum allowed Haykin the rare opportunity to have free reign over the project and its creative direction.

So it was to the studio for him, where he would start painting in the morning until he simply could not paint anymore. Then, he would walk around in nature until he couldn’t stand not painting.

On his walks, he looks for inspiration.

“I’m interested in the very familiar and reexamining it,” Haykin said, “reminding people of the stuff they know very well.”

Haykin described one walk in which the entire focus of the piece shifted and took on new layers of meaning. He stumbled into an old, abandoned building with human markings. “Tom was here” and “Mary loves Bob,” adorning the walls and he was struck by the layered and diverse proclamations of individuals asserting their presence on the world or, as Haykin put it, “saying something when they had nothing to say.”

This experience inspired the piece “Palimpsest, Ruby Sweet,” the first in his collection to focus on human markings rather than nature. From this point on, the body of work took on new direction and sought to bridge the gap between the imagery of language and his beloved elements of nature.

The collection is mainly large-scale work, many of which are multi-paneled.

“Large-scale painting can make the familiar exotic and fresh again,” Haykin said. “To do a large-scale painting on multiple panels makes the viewer analyze over and over the edges of the piece.”

This idea of breaking up edges with multiple panels is a maneuver Haykin uses for a more critical viewing experience. The gesture of

maximizing and enlarging these tiny, forgotten life forms is complicated by the act of breaking them apart, forcing the images to exist disjointed on the wall.

As much as his work is a celebration of life, it is also a lamentation of death.

With pieces like “Death of a Shrew,” Haykin explores the perpetual cycles of life and death all around us and asserts each life’s indelibility with his paint brush.

Brimming with honest passion, Haykin preaches precisely what he paints.

“These seemingly insignificant lives— whether plant or animal or echo of some human life that left a marking—I don’t want them to be overlooked or taken for granted,” Haykin said.

The exhibit opens Oct. 6 at the UA Museum of Art.

Of course, there are no shortage of other indirect ways to avoid a drink as well. These include dumping the drink in the nearest drain, toilet, or thirsty desert plant (preferably outdoors). We’ve also heard of fake handle pulls, where no alcohol is actually consumed, as well as the shoot and spit, where a shot is taken but the alcohol is spit back into a red cup, etc., when you “chase” the drink.

4. “I’m doing a detox diet” 3. “I’m in the sweet spot” 2. “Look – squirrel!”

ell, Washington, you have our attention Pac-12 Conference football took center stage Friday night in a meeting of top-10 teams with then-No. 7 Stanford and then-No. 10 Washington.

The Huskies showed up to play and demolished Stanford 44-6. The Washington defense stunned Stanford right out of the gate, as Heisman hopeful Christian McCaffrey was non-existent and limited to only 79 total yards of offense.

The Huskies’ defense threw the Cardinal quarterbacks to the turf eight times, the most sacks Stanford has allowed since 2006.

Quarterback Jake Browning led the Huskies’ offense, throwing for 210 yards and three touchdowns. Running backs Myles Gaskin and Lavon Coleman combined for 174 yards and three scores, showing the offense can do just as much damage as the defense.

A win of this magnitude will throw the Huskies closer to the top four, while leaving the Cardinal outside of playoff contention as David Shaw’s team has issues to address moving forward.

The mighty men of Michigan muster on Jim Harbaugh’s boys were tested, battered and bruised Saturday in a classic Big Ten game in which then-No. 4 Michigan squared off with thenNo. 11 Wisconsin.

The teams battled it out in the trenches before Michigan walked away the winner by a score of 14-7. It puts the Wolverines in good standing to make the playoff this year, and they

have a good chance to be undefeated before their regular season finale against rival Ohio State. Michigan’s secondary held Wisconsin’s offense in check throughout the game, forcing three interceptions and completely limiting the Badgers’ offensive productivity.

Though the score was close, Michigan was the better team for a majority of the game, out-gaining Wisconsin by nearly 200 yards.

Michigan has shown improvement every week, led by a dominant secondary that is one of the best in the nation. The Wolverines have a great shot to play in this year’s playoff and even a national championship.

Clemson claws its way to victory The game of the weekend took place in Death Valley, with the first top-five matchup of the season battled out between two of college football’s dynamic quarterbacks.

Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson overcame a first-half deficit and took command of the game toward the end of the first half, ripping Louisville’s secondary to shreds while throwing three touchdowns. Watson led the Tigers to a 2810 lead at the half-way mark.

In a tale of two halves, however, Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson regained his composure and helped the Cardinals storm back with 20 unanswered points.

Watson and Clemson wouldn’t fade away so easily, though, as the veteran QB overcame his interception-filled second half and gave the Tigers the lead and ultimately the victory after two late scoring drives in the fourth.

This win will give Clemson the edge in the ACC. Only having a two-loss Florida State as the toughest team left on their schedule, it’s fair to say the Tigers have the easiest road to making this year’s playoff.

Week 5 Pac-12 Power Rankings NORTH

BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro

WASHINGTON

SOUTH UTAH

The Huskies narrowly avoided an upset by Arizona a week ago, and then they curb stomped Stanford. They should be favored in every game remaining this season, so here is the Pac-12’s best chance at a playoff team.

The Utes ruined their perfect season by failing to score from the 1-yard line against Cal. Arizona has had Utah’s number lately, so the Utes will either blow the Wildcats out of the water, or lose a heartbreaker.

STANFORD

COLORADO

After looking like the Pac-12’s pick for the playoff, the Cardinal were destroyed by Washington. At least Arizona could keep the game close, that without having a Heisman candidate at its disposal.

Do not look now, but Colorado is the only team undefeated in conference play in the Pac-12 South.

A win over USC would show the rest of the Pac the Buffaloes are contenders and not pretenders.

CALIFORNIA With a victory over Utah, the Golden Bears are suddenly a dark-horse contender for the Pac-12 North. They could also miss bowl season entirely, so they must sweep the Oregon schools and defeat Washington State to stay relevant.

ASU Both Arizona teams traveled to face Los Angeles schools and both were dismantled. A win might have put the Sun Devils in the top 25, but they were destroyed with a chance to make a statement.

WASHINGTON STATE

UCLA

Wazzu’s win over Oregon was huge, but its 0-2 start might be too much to overcome. Now, the Cougars might struggle to make a bowl with Stanford next week and UCLA, Washington and other tough opponents looming.

After a slow start to his sophomore campaign, Josh Rosen regained his swagger against the putrid Arizona defense. The Bruins are in a three-way tie for No. 2 in the division, so these next few weeks will get interesting.

OREGON

USC

The hipster pick to win the Pac-12 looks to be imploding in front of our very eyes. The Ducks started slow before upsetting Stanford and going on a tear, but don’t count on a similar result this year.

After looking dead in the water, USC destroyed ASU at home to ruin the Sun Devils’ perfect season. Just when you think USC is drowned, the Trojans pull you back in with wins like this.

OREGON STATE

ARIZONA

Even with its rival Oregon looking bad, Oregon State still looks worse. On November 19, the Beavers face the Arizona Wildcats in what will be the opposite of the Pac12 Championship.

Of all of the Pac-12 South rankings, this one was by far the easiest. The Wildcats have as many injured quarterbacks as they do wins.

KEVIN CORDES: WILDCAT, OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST Cordes won six national titles in the pool as a Wildcat before making a splash with a gold medal in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games

BY MATT WALL @mwall20

Kevin Cordes was nervous as he walked toward the pitcher’s mound, glove in hand. He was set to throw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field in front of 40,546 fans in attendance. With his gold medal dangling from his neck, the Chicago native hurled the ball to Chicago Cubs pitcher Rob Zastryzny behind home plate before walking off the field to cheers from fans.

“I pulled out my old glove a couple days before,” Cordes said. “I tossed the ball around—didn’t want to throw it in the dirt. Never thought I would be throwing out the first pitch at a Cubs game.”

Cordes has had quite the whirlwind experience after graduating from the UA in 2015. He put on the Team USA swim cap and competed for his country at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

“It was such an honor, a lifelong goal ever since I was young,” Cordes said. “Being able to represent my country and wear an American flag on my cap is such an honor. It really hasn’t sunk in that I can call myself an Olympian.”

Cordes competed seven times in Rio and, at the age of 22, finished fourth in the 100-meter breaststroke and walked away with a gold medal in the 4x100-meter relay.

“When I was young, I would watch the Olympics all the time and dream about being an Olympian,” Cordes said.

This year’s Games were not Cordes’ only chance at competing for Team USA. In the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials, Cordes missed out on a shot to be an Olympian by one spot.

“After that, I was pretty determined and motivated from there to make it in 2016,” he said.

Cordes’ stars aligned when he was a kid, and his swimming career had a sudden and humorous beginning.

“My mom just happened to sign me up lastminute for summer league swimming,” Cordes said. “I was just 6 years old.”

He credited much of his success at the highest level from his experience competing as a studentathlete at the UA. “Coming in as a freshman, our swim team was one of the best,” Cordes said. “We had former Olympians to train with. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I probably wouldn’t be here today without the UA swim team.”

Cordes found success at the UA right off the bat his freshman season, earning Arizona Athletics’ Male Freshman Athlete of the Year and four AllAmerica honors. He managed 13 All-America

honors in total to go along with six NCAA individual national championships during his career in Tucson.

Cordes won the 100-yard breaststroke four years in a row and the 200-yard breaststroke in 2013 and 2014. He also walked away with the title of NCAA Swimmer of the Year in 2013 and 2014.

The Olympic gold medalist learned first-hand how to balance the life of a student-athlete with working hard to stay on top of his academics.

“The hardest thing was time management,” Cordes said. “Swimming is pretty intense—we have a bunch of workouts. Really figuring out how to have success both in the pool, academically and managing my time was something I really picked up on in my time [with Arizona].”

Both of Cordes’ parents attended the UA, and his sister, Caroline, is now a freshman on the Arizona sand volleyball team.

“My sister is a Wildcat,” Cordes said. “It was a big goal of hers, and I’m really proud of her. It gives me a chance to visit more often, which is always nice. I look forward to seeing what she does and I know she will have a great experience, just like me.”

Cordes recalled his favorite Rio Olympics memory after finishing his semi-final race in the 200-meter breaststroke. As he walked away from the pool, he saw USA men’s basketball players chanting USA and cheering him on.

“I look up and see the USA basketball players,” Cordes said. “I had no idea. It was one of the coolest moments.”

On pure coincidence, he ran into Draymond Green and Kyrie Irving after they mistakenly got off on the wrong floor of the elevator in Olympic Village.

What sets Cordes apart from other athletes, though, is his inspiration to succeed.

“I think it’s an internal drive to be better,” Cordes said. “I just love to compete and go out and race.

That’s my love for the sport.”

That internal drive was evident when Cordes shared a team with Olympian Michael Phelps.

“He is the greatest swimmer of all time and the greatest Olympian,” Cordes said. “Being on a team with him, going through training camps, [just] seeing how he handled himself and what he did and how he prepared himself for the meet—I learned a lot from him just by watching him.”

Cordes will compete at the FINA World Swimming Championships (Short Course Worlds) in December. He summed up his future goals quite simply: “On the road to 2020 in Tokyo.”
