UA geoscientists are helping to understand the changing Chinese landscape by studying a dusty plateau

BY Priyanka Hadvani The Daily Wildcat

China’s Huangtu Plateau has built hype for the research interests of geoscientists by being one of the biggest and most complete dust deposits on Earth.

Paul Kapp, a UA professor of geoscience, and Dr. Alex Pullen, an adjunct professor for the University of Rochester who received his doctorate from the UA in 2010, shared their deep interest in this study by discussing their recent publication in the journal, Geology.

Before visiting the plateau in person, Kapp and his team made observations through the study of satellite images.

Kapp said they discovered that the landform is approximately the size of the state of Arizona and formed through the aggregation of dust called loess.

Between 8 million to 2.6 million years ago, dust accumulated from deserts north of the Tibetan Plateau.

Over time, dust covered soil and vice versa, which created continuous, alternating layers that formed the Huangtu Plateau, also known as China’s Loess Plateau.

Once the team visited China, they observed that the Huangtu Plateau was not only a sink of dust, but also a source of dust.

This theory, if accurate, will change the way people have looked at this landform.

“Dust itself is sculpted and recycled by wind,” he said.

In addition, the scientists found evidence that the steep slope of the plateau had moved, which confirms that the Huangtu Plateau is still migrating and growing with time.

Studying the atmosphere surrounding the Tibetan

plateaus interests geoscientists because it enables observation of the effect of surface uplifts on the change in the distribution of precipitation.

Surface uplifts aid in the formation of mountains, and newly built mountains block atmospheric moisture, creating deserts from once very large lakes. These arid areas generate the dust accumulated on the Loess.

“The implications of this evidence showed that we need to be more careful in how we look at climate proxies in the Loess Plateau,” Pullen said.

Loess plateaus have been an interest for other groups of scientists over the past century.

There is a large amount of loess associated with European glaciers and midcontinent loess in North America.

However, the Huangtu Plateau brings a lot of attention because, according to Pullen,

“People get really excited when talking about dust going into the ocean.”

This is because a zone in the Northern Pacific Ocean in which planktonic organisms photosynthesize is limited by the lack of iron.

“Dust from Central Asia surrounding the loess gives soluble iron to these species, increasing their rates of productivity, and draws down atmospheric carbon dioxide,” Pullen said.

Overall, the reason why dust falls out of suspension in the atmosphere and over the Huangtu Plateau is still not well understood. The phenomenon continues to hold a mystery and provide a reason for geoscientific investigation.

‘The Martian’ problematic yet faithful

Scientists talk Mars After a jam-packed week of Martian news, UA scientists meet to discuss the highly grossing film “The Martian” and how their work relates to humanity’s future on the red planet

BY Daniel Burkart

BY Alex Guyton and Alex Furrier The Daily Wildcat

Director Ridley Scott, known for scifi cornerstone “Alien,” returns to space in “The Martian.” The film is based on the 2011 self-published sci-fi novel by Andy Weir and stars Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Jeff Daniels. Two of The Daily Wildcat’s film writers, Alex Guyton and Alex Furrier, go head-to-head to discuss the film.

Guyton: Well, first things first. Did you like the movie?

Furrier: Strangely, no. I think the majority of people will enjoy this film and would recommend it if someone asked whether it was worth seeing. That being said, I just couldn’t get into it when I watched it. Possibly because I read the book, and watching a film adaptation from a book almost always turns into a live-time comparison between the book and the film.

It could also have something to do with the lady that sat next to me and kept making sound effects when anything interesting happened on screen. What about you? Did you enjoy it?

Guyton: Fortunately, or unfortunately, no one in the audience added anything extra. I, too, had my problems with the film. The first thing that comes to mind was the ceaseless onslaught of exposition. Mark Watney, the astronaut stranded on Mars who’s played

by Matt Damon, is constantly talking to the observational cameras in his station and his rover. He’s basically talking directly to the audience, walking them step-by-step throughout the movie.

Sometimes, like when there was the more advanced science at play, it was helpful, but other times, it just felt like extremely lazy storytelling. It reminded me of those YouTube videos that you click on to watch something, but then it ends up being someone explaining to you what happens in the video. Did this stick out to you at all?

Furrier: I totally get what you mean.

I think the movie lost some of its charm because it was backed into a corner and resorted to Matt Damon explaining away how to fix every obstacle in his way. The book functioned almost as a series of scientific word problems, like those math ones where you have all of the variables but need to figure out how to solve for the

Martian, 5

The Daily Wildcat

Dr. Susan Swanberg has enjoyed science all her life.

As a child, her father would take her out to look at the skies. Looking into the great unknown paved the way for her career in science. Her grandmother gave her a book of bugs, something that mesmerized her and what she cited as having a huge impact on her love of the field.

Today, she’s hoping she might have a hand in bringing the next generation into science as the moderator for today’s discussion panel for the movie “The Martian.”

“Such a bold discovery of water on Mars, like the bug book with me, could be inspiring a whole new generation,” Swanberg said.

This discussion panel is coming in light of NASA’s recent discovery that liquid water flows intermittently on Mars.

The discovery will bring in an added interest to the already popular movie and book.

Swanberg, a distinguished science journalist and associate professor for the UA School of Journalism, said she looks forward to discussing the possibilities for future colonization on Mars with the panelists, as well as seeing their reactions to the plausibility of the movie.

“Another topic of interest is: how did the movie differ from reality?”

Swanberg said.

The panel will be comprised of three UA Martian experts: Wolfgang Fink, Alfred McEwen and Gene Giacomelli.

McEwen was an author on the recent NASA report about finding evidence of flowing water on Mars.

Fink is an engineer who researches autonomous, decision-making algorithms that could one day be utilized by a Mars rover. Giacomelli is the director of the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center here at the UA and is helping to design greenhouses that could grow food on Mars.

Fink will be discussing robotic exploration on the planet and explained that ultimately the focus of the panel is to not only compare the planet with the book and movie but also to talk frankly about what has been learned about Mars.

“The movie touches on many aspects [and] some are science fiction in a way,” Fink said.

McEwen said that, while the movie did take some liberties from the book, neither was entirely accurate as to the reality of Mars. “[The movie] did an excellent job—great scenery, compelling story, very sciencepositive,” McEwen said.

“A few things aren’t exactly accurate, but that only matters to us Mars nerds.”

Swanberg said she knows her audience will be diverse in age and, like herself, as she looked up at the skies with her father when she was younger, she hopes to impart her love of science to them.

Whether you’ve seen the movie, read the book or are just plain fascinated with space, now’s your chance to hear about Mars from the scientists who are trying to get us there.

unknown. The movie didn’t have the proper amount of time to focus on the process of solving, and rather just showed the solution.

Damon’s never-ending monologue to the camera also got old fast, whereas in the book, Watney’s journals are an exercise to keep him sane while also allowing him to think through the problems out loud.

Guyton: You read the book, but I didn’t.

How did the film compare?

Furrier: The film was a faithful adaptation. There will always be fanboys cursing at the screen because the film didn’t follow the book beat for beat. But overall, I think Ridley Scott and screenwriter Drew Goddard did the book justice. The film didn’t really deviate from the book in plot or thematics, most likely because the book was so simple: here is a guy, and he doesn’t want to die.

Guyton: Were there any differences?

Furrier: The only discernable difference would be the shift in perspective that occurs when NASA finds out Mark Watney is alive.

The book is written in the form of journal entries, and for the first third, it is only Mark’s perspective. A big shift in narrative occurs when NASA discovers Mark survived, and the reader then sees the situation from NASA’s perspective. The film follows the action from both perspectives almost from the get go.

Guyton: On the subject of Watney, did you like him as a character in the film? I was surprised at how facetious Watney was.

He was constantly making jokes at his own expense, at his own awful situation. I liked the humor when Watney would become livid with NASA, and he would send f-bombs to them from millions of miles away. A good amount of the time, though, it seemed to undercut the dramatic tension that the film was building. It was hard to feel that Watney was in danger of not coming home when the film adopted a relatively light tone.

Furrier: Watney was pretty accurately portrayed in terms of personality. I believe he’s what’s known as a ‘sarcastic assshole,’ but one whose humor often bails him out of his snarky remarks. It’s incredibly difficult to combine comedy with life-or-death drama, and I think it did undercut the tension. Most dramedies are usually about lighthearted subjects rather than a man fighting for his survival. I do have to hand it to the film, though; if they did one thing well, it was circumventing the PG-13 rules on cursing.

I tallied two audible f-bombs and two that were creatively implied. Creativity counts when it comes to cursing.

Guyton: Apart from doing all the right things to get a rating that would maximize box office, what else did you like about the

movie, if anything?

Furrier: The movie was gorgeous aesthetically. They definitely pumped money into the special effects department.

I would have to say my favorite parts of the film didn’t fit with the rest of it; they stood out to me because they were small, human moments.

At one point Watney counts his food supply while he can audibly hear his shelter being buffeted by the heavy Martian winds.

Damon has to convey just by body language the feeling that at any moment he could die if his shelter gives way.

Also the short scene where Watney shaves his nasty beard as he prepares for the return home.

It’s a moment of a man realizing he may have human interaction for the first time in years.

What about you? Anything that stuck out or that the film did well?

Though it’s slight, Damon really makes the audience feel the smallness, the helplessness of Watney. I also enjoyed the ensemble cast. Though there were some interesting casting choices that drew attention to themselves—like Kristin Wiig and Donald Glover—the people back on Earth trying to bring Watney home, played off of each other very well. So, final verdict?

Furrier: It was an enjoyable, light watch. Go if you’re in the mood for a blockbuster that will take you on a ride for two hours.

It had its problems, but on the whole will be well liked by most.

What about you?

Guyton: It’s nice to see a film, especially one that will reach a wide audience, take science and space seriously.

Though it hinders the film, as we previously discussed, the science is grounded in reality. However, of the recent sci-fi blockbusters, I rank this firmly below “Gravity” and “Interstellar.”

Guyton: I’m in agreement about the small scene where Watney hears the Martian wind pummeling his beat-up station.

Uncovering an ancient harbor

Zi Yang Lai/The Daily Wildcat

Assistant research professor Charlotte Pearson (left) and Piper-Lenore Murphy (right) examines a tree ring sample. Murphy is a junior majoring in Geoscience.

A UA undergrad is conducting independent study reserach through the Labratory of Tree-Ring Reserach to understand the secrets of an ancient Turkish harbor

BY Baiely Bellavance The Daily Wildcat

The development of a metro in Istanbul, Turkey, was abruptly halted when an ancient harbor filled with hundreds of artifacts was discovered deep beneath the Earth’s crust.

Piper-Lenore Murphy, a geoscience junior, is starting her second year of dendroarchaeology research through the Laboratory of TreeRing Research. Murphy said she began her research at the lab during the beginning of her sophomore year.

Murphy is studying wood from dock posts found in Yenikapi, Istanbul. The archeological site was found 10 years ago during construction for a new metro that was planned to run through an old harbor called the emperor’s lost harbor, located in Constantinople, which is now called Istanbul, around the fourth century.

The site, which has now been turned into a

full-blown archeological site, contained old shipwrecks, dock posts and even 14,000-yearold shoeprints from the bottom of the harbor.

The research Murphy is conducting is helping to date over 4,000 samples worth of wood from the dock posts. With the samples, she is trying to create a master chronology: an arrangement of the tree ring samples from the specific region that can be compared to other tree rings from the same dock. This technique allows Murphy to know when the trees started growing, when they stopped growing and when they were turned into dock posts. “[Murphy is] going to take tree ring patterns from these posts and try to match them together and build a chronology, which will tell us when this structure was built,” said Charlotte Pearson, Murphy’s independent study adviser, an assistant professor of anthropology and an assistant research professor of dendrochronology.

Being able to precisely date the dock posts is useful for a number of reasons. The master chronology being made by Murphy can be used by the archeologists excavating the emperor’s lost harbor site to help date artifacts found in the harbor. Knowing the age of the dock posts can also help anthropologists and archeologists to know when the site was occupied and the climate history of Constantinople, including natural disasters affecting the area.

Murphy said she is conducting her research through independent dendroarchaeology study under Pearson. Independent study allows for undergraduates to gain real-world research experience on campus while still in the undergraduate level and may even permit students to publish research and data sets.

Murphy said she works closely with Pearson to fit the curriculum to her personal track.

Pearson assigns Murphy weekly readings in conjunction with working in the lab and weekly

meetings to discuss Murphy’s progress on her research project. Pearson said her goal is to have Murphy use her research and data to get her work published in the future.

“Independent study can be really flexible, and I like to tailor it so [students] get the most out of it, in line with what they’re most interested in,” Pearson said.

Independent study can be beneficial for both students and faculty, allowing students to preform scientifically important work and permitting faculty to engage students on a deeper level to prepare them for future research.

“I really like working with students on a one-to-one, so I really enjoy doing this kind of thing,” Pearson said.

Police Beat

BY Meghan Fernandez The Daily Wildcat

Can’t talk, or hold it...

A UA student was sent to Banner – University Medical Center for alcohol intoxication.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Coronado Residence Hall regarding a heavily intoxicated male student in the front lobby who couldn’t answer questions asked by UA Emergency Medical Services respondents. The student’s resident assistant was in the lobby, too, and had identified the student.

The male student couldn’t speak coherently, and his speech was slurred. The officer observed that the student also had bloodshot eyes and there was a stain on the crotch of his pants. UA EMS said the student had peed his pants.

Other students nearby said they brought the male student inside Coronado from outside, where he could barely walk. One female student said she thought he was drinking vodka off campus, but noted that she was not with him.

The officer tried to give a Breathalyzer test to the male student but couldn’t get a proper reading because the student was wasn’t blowing into the tube.

The Tucson Fire Department also responded and called for an ambulance, and the student was sent to Banner – UMC for further evaluation.

The responding officer returned to Banner – UMC to check up on the student, but the student was still extremely intoxicated and not responsive. The officer sent a Code of Conduct violation to the Dean of Students Office.

One, two, 97, Los Angeles Two UAPD officers were dispatched to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall regarding an intoxicated, unconscious male student.

One of the officers went to the student’s location, and the student was on a mattress that was pulled onto the floor of the room. The officer observed that the student had scrapes on his knee and hand.

TFD paramedics and UA EMS were already in the room evaluating the student when the one officer arrived. While being evaluated, the student tried to stand, so officials had to keep telling him to sit down.

One of the paramedics asked the student if he knew where he was, and the student simply said “One, two, 97, Los Angeles.” Even sitting on the mattress, the student had difficulty maintaining an upright position. TFD decided to send the student to Banner – UMC for further evaluation.

The student’s roommate returned to the room, along with the other UAPD officer, and the student asked to use the bathroom. The roommate helped the student to the bathroom.

After going to the bathroom, the student began to tilt toward the toilet as if he were going to vomit. Instead of throwing up, though, he touched the toilet rim, and then spent a while trying to flush the toilet.

UA EMS and the one officer helped the student walk to the sink so he could wash his hands, and the officer instructed him to use soap. The student just stared at the officer, apparently confused by what the officer had said.

The ambulance arrived and the student had to be assisted to the lobby, where he began to spit on the floor, but he didn’t vomit.

A Code of Conduct violation was sent to the Dean of Students Office.

President Hart addresses the faculty senate in Old Main on Oct. 5. Hart spoke about legislative and financial issues.

Regents request budget restoration

BY Sam Gross

The Daily Wildcat

The UA Faculty Senate met Monday afternoon for the second senate meeting of the fall semester.

President Hart focused her time in front of the senate on the university and the regents’ legislative request to the state of Arizona.

Hart said that the regents will be asking for $24 million budget restoration—that number reflecting the difference between the $74.4 million in cuts proposed by Gov. Doug Ducey and the actual $104 million in cuts that was enacted by the state Legislature. “[The requested $24 million] has no importance other than symbolic—that we want to start restoring those cuts, and, as a number, I believe that it sort of lays in reference to the governor as in, ‘Come on, even in your first budget you didn’t talk about a cut that was any bigger than $75 [million],’ ” Hart said.

Hart said this is the first in a series of steps for reattaining funding for public higher education.

Hart then outlined the regents’ efforts to eliminate state’s policy of “sweeping” tuition to manage the Arizona Treasury and then re-appropriating it back to the

universities during the annual budgetary appropriation.

While the universities are appropriated the majority of their students’ tuition dollars every year, the state does keep a portion for itself.

“We would like to be able to have—in order to save money and manage our face cash on hand—the dollars our students and their families actually pay,” Hart said.

On justifying the financial request, Hart challenged the state Legislature to uphold its obligations to public education as defined by the constitution.

“We are asking, not for a particularly revolutionary level of support from the state, but for a constitutionally grounded investment by the state of Arizona in its higher education for its citizens,” Hart said. “We are asking that the state and the governor commit to be 50 percent partners with entrepreneurial universities that seek other sources of funding and support.”

In an open comments section following Hart’s address, Cheryl Cuillier, an assistant librarian for the University Libraries, challenged the regents and the university to change its health insurance policy to cover transgender employees—a minority group that is currently

excluded from university insurance.

“Every single plan available to UA employees has a specific exclusion for health benefits for transgender services, and that denial of coverage affects not only transgender faculty, but also employees’ spouses and dependents,” Cuillier said.

Cuillier asked that the regents include transgender employees in the regulatory reform initiative currently in the process of being proposed to the state Legislature.

The initiative would make the university system independent from the state’s health care plan, If passed, the reform initiative would not take effect until after 2020, when the state’s health care contract is up for renewal.

Cuillier suggested that, until the reform initiative is passed, the university either provide a rider to its insurance or a secondary policy covering transgender employees.

Other primary topics on the agenda included reports from Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Andrew C. Comrie followed by President Ann Weaver Hart, as well as a handful of informational sessions and open discussions with members of the audience.

The meeting concluded with a presentation and Q&A session

by Arizona Board of Regents

President Eileen Klein.

Comrie’s report began by outlining the accomplishments that the university has achieved in the recent months. He focused on the university’s addition of two new buildings—the newly constructed Environment and Natural Resources 2 building and the recent acquisition of a new location in Oro Valley that will house classrooms for veterinary sciences.

Comrie outlined efforts that had been made to improve the pay of non-tenure track faculty at the university. First, by revisiting salary increases for faculty that had already been made within the English department, then by pointing to new efforts that had very recently been made within the College of Humanities.

“I’m happy to say that we’ve raised the salaries of 32 nontenure track faculty members across four departments in [the College of] Humanities,” Comrie said.

The meeting ended with a presentation from Klein, recapping to the senate the initiatives and proposals passed at the recent board meeting in Flagstaff.

Pink Out raises funds for VOX events

BY Nicholas Johnson The Daily Wildcat

VOX earned enough money at its Pink Out event to start working on new events to educate students about sexual education and reproductive rights.

Voices for Planned Parenthood, or VOX, is a nationwide program with a presence on the UA campus aimed at educating and advocating for the reproductive freedom of young adults.

Last week the UA VOX club participated in National Pink Out Day, which demonstrated national support for the VOX’s parent organization, Planned Parenthood. The event came in the midst of a legal battle between Planned Parenthood and a number of states.

Anna Keene, a sociology sophomore and the president of UA VOX, said the club’s goal is to “distribute information, whether it be through pamphlets or hosting seminars.”

Keene said she has been involved with UA VOX for about a year and volunteering for Planned Parenthood since she was 14 years old. Keene said she is also currently interning with Planned Parenthood.

“Everything we do is to educate and advocate [for] students on safe sex and reproductive rights,” Keene said. “Everyone can benefit from Planned Parenthood.”

According to Keene, VOX would potentially be setting up a table on the UA Mall and talking with students about sexual education.

Keene said VOX hopes to work with Tucson’s Planned Parenthood to bring a medical professional to campus to give seminars on sexual education and reproductive rights. She said they also hope to hold documentary screenings and a condom fashion show.

Keene said VOX plans and participates in events at the university and in the surrounding Tucson community. The group will participate in AIDSWALK Tucson and Tucson Pride this month.

Kenzie Bevington, a law sophomore and the public relations contact for UA VOX, said VOX gives students a different experience than other clubs provide.

Bevington said one of the

group’s focuses this year is “getting men involved because reproductive rights are an issue for all of us.”

Dylan Deines, a junior studying English and history, said he’s “glad

that there is a club on campus advocating sexual education.”

The members of VOX said they want to set up a space where people can talk about sexual education and have their

questions answered to better inform the public.

The Truth About Artificial Sweeteners “Artificial sweeteners cause brain tumors!” Most of us have heard this statement before, but is it really true?

The short answer: No. Rest assured that drinking your diet soda or sugar-free latte will not result in a brain tumor.

But even if they don’t cause brain tumors, are they safe?

First, let’s define “artificial sweeteners.”

Artificial sweeteners (also called sugar substitutes, or non-nutritive sweeteners) are substances that are used instead of sugar to sweeten

beverages and food. They’ve been around for decades and have been a hot topic in the nutrition world since their debut.

Second, it’s important to know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must review and approve artificial sweeteners before they can be used in food. There have been 6 artificial sweeteners approved and deemed safe by the FDA: Aspartame, Saccharin, Acesulfame K, Sucralose, Advantame, and Neotame. Here’s some info on each:

Artificial Sweetener

Brand Name

Sweetness level compared to sugar (sucrose) __ x sweeter than sugar

Aspartame Saccharin Acesulfame K Sucralose Advantame Neotame

Equal, NutraSweet Sweet’N Low Sunnett, Sweet One Splenda NS** Newtame

160-220 x 300 x 200 x 600 x 20,000 x 7,000-13,000 x

Acceptable # of tabletop Daily Intake (ADI) sweetener Milligrams packets per kilogram equivalent body weight* to ADI 50 15 15 5 32.8 0.3

75 45 23 23 4,920 23

Source: www.fda.gov *ADI: Estimated amount of a substance in food or water which can be ingested daily over a lifetime without considerable health risk. ** Not Specified

Artificial sweeteners are safe in moderation and can even be used as a tool for people who are trying to lose weight or have to watch their blood sugar. If you’re shooting for a closer-tonature type diet or don’t really need to

watch your calories or blood sugar, there’s no reason to use artificial sweeteners.

Bottom line? Achieving a healthy diet is all about finding balance. Too much of anything, whether it be regular sugar or artificial sweetener, is never a good thing.

Hamilton moves into UA Tech Park

BY Gabriella Vukelic The Daily Wildcat

Hamilton Innovations has moved into the UA Tech Park, according to Tech Parks Arizona.

Hamilton Innovations is a smaller company under the care of Hamilton Telecommunications. The two companies guide a number of diverse business lines into engineering, research and software development.

The UA Tech Park provides an environment dedicated to research and development that allows Hamilton Innovations to interact with businesses and focus on its core mission for communications and accessibility to technologies.

Founded in 1901, Hamilton Telecommunications became a diversified communications and technology service provider located in Aurora, Nebraska. They have seven smaller companies that allow them to operate on a local basis.

“We hope, as our operations at the Tech Park grow, that there will be opportunities for working relationships with software engineering disciplines within the UA,” wrote Kiley James, marketing coordinator for Hamilton Telecommunications, in an email.

“As our staff [grows] over the years, we hope that will result in opportunities for interns, special project work and perhaps permanent employment opportunities for graduates.”

According to James, Hamilton Innovations began work Aug. 15 and will include work for

its business line, which focuses on information technology, data transport solutions for businesses and government utilizing internet protocol-based networks.

James said Hamilton Innovations is focused on development for the diverse business ventures of its parent company.

This collaborative development includes working on projects with Hamilton Relay, which supplies telecommunications relay and captioned telephone services for individuals who are deaf, have partial hearing loss, are late-deafened or have difficulty speaking, which helps make communication over the telephone accessible.

According to Tech Launch Arizona, the UA Tech Park supplies the interactive ground for businesses, communities and for the UA to connect with a wider variety of technology.

Tech Parks Arizona directs the UA Tech Park and makes it a priority to recruit companies that are looking to connect with the UA. The Tech Park was created to connect “an ecosystem of invention, commercialization and impact,” according to a Tech Parks Arizona press release.

“I think it’s going to be very beneficial for the UA and to the Eller College of Management,” said Stefon Faison, a business freshman. “It is going to supply us with another resource to have different types of learning experiences and opportunities.”

Food Day Fair to host over 40 organizations

BY Sebastian Laguna The Daily Wildcat

This year’s UA Food Day Fair seeks to use its platform to inform students about issues of food sustainability.

“Last year, we had right around 1,000 to 1,200 people show up,” said Sarah Marrs, the coordinator of Food Day Fair and a nutrition counselor for UA Campus Health Service.

The Food Day Fair will be held on the UA Mall on Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

“This year, we have two large tents instead of one and are also going to be right next to the Farmer’s Market that day,” Marrs said. “I definitely anticipate that we’ll have more foot-traffic because students are going to be drawn to the Mall.”

According to a press release issued by Food Day Fair, it will “educate staff, students and the Tucson community to make healthy, sustainable food choices by providing interactive food experiences, including food demos, taste tests and exhibits.”

Marrs said that the event is designed for “student engagement and community education.”

The 2015 Food Day Fair will be sponsored by the UA Green Fund, the Well University Partnership, the UA Office of Sustainability and the UA Department of Nutritional Sciences.

“It has representatives from all parts of campus as well as organizations off campus,” said Ben Champion, director of the Office of Sustainability. “It’s an opportunity for students to get to know what’s going on in the community around food issues.”

One of Food Day’s biggest goals is to broaden the relationship between university affiliates and organizations within the Tucson food community.

“We host a lot of interactive exhibits that provide educational experiences, food demonstrations and taste tests that bring together all of the departments on campus and the community organizations that support the priorities of

national food day,” Marrs said.

There are over 40 different organizations between the UA and the Tucson community that will participate in this year’s event.

“The fact that we have so many different groups come out on the Mall on this day helps bring those like-minded groups together so they can find out what other people in the community are doing,” Marrs said.

Many different campus organizations, such as the UA Campus Pantry, have played an important role in making this year unique from others in the past.

This year, Food Day collaborated with Campus Pantry to create a “Canstruction Contest,” where people will be able to vote on their favorite designs. They will also have an established space for people to donate non-perishable items to be collected for students and staff in need.

The UA’s Food Day Fair will give students the ability to meet and engage with some of the Tucson organizations that are currently involved with food sustainability.

Chance said he sees the event as a chance for students to network with businesses and organizations in the community that work to develop sustainable food options.

“I think it’d be a great opportunity for them to identify internships that can supplement what they are getting in the classroom,” he said.

With many different organizations coming from campus and the community, students will have the opportunity to see the dynamics of how food sustainability is evolving within the Tucson community.

Here are a few ways to help you pass on one like a pro:

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.

Thirty-year partnership fosters international collaboration

BY LAUREN RENTERIA The Daily Wildcat

The UA inducts new Center for Mexican Studies in collaboration with Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

In June, the UA partnered with UNAM, to create a Center for Mexican Studies in Tucson.

UA President Ann Weaver Hart announced the plans for the center while Gov. Doug Ducey was on a business trip in México.

UNAM is a research university in México City and is currently the largest university in Latin America. According to UANews, the director of the center, Claudio Estrada, and four other representatives are currently on staff, working for the center at 939 N. Tyndall Ave. Last month, the UA set up a week of events for the new program to promote the unveiling of the new Center for Mexican Studies. From Sept. 25 to the day of its unveiling Sept. 29, various events took place across the UA campus in celebration of the new collaboration.

Lectures were held in the Student Union Memorial Center and various buildings on the UA campus regarding the partnership

between the universities, as well as Latino social issues, such as immigration, Mexican pop culture and art.

A dinner was held at Old Main to introduce the Advisory Committee of the new center Sept. 28. Among those in attendance were UNAM Institutional Development Secretary Dr. Francisco Trigo, Hart and Estrada. On Sept. 29, the center had its grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Madeline Jewell, early childhood education freshman, explained her thoughts on the new center and what it brings to both the UA and UNAM communities.

“I think that it will add openness and a better relationship with the community,” Jewell said. “It could also reflect well on the [UA] too.”

While the Center for Mexican Studies is a new program that the two universities have recently collaborated on, the partnership between the two has been established for over three decades.

Since 1980, the two universities have worked together in many different academic studies including the sciences and the arts.

Mike Proctor, vice president of Global Initiatives at the UA, explained the long-standing collaboration and what this new project can bring to the universities.

“This was a strong next step in bringing the relationship closer together,” Proctor said. “It gives the UA another opportunity to build a stronger academic relationship and research opportunities.”

In 2007, the UA established an office at the México City campus to improve relations between the UA and businesses in México.

In the same year, the UA also launched the Office of Western Hemispheric Programs to establish stronger collaboration between the UA, UNAM, Canada and other Latin American countries.

Eden Medina, an English sophomore, praised the new center and reflected on its benefits.

“I think that there are a lot of benefits that can come from it,” Medina said. “I think it helps people stay in touch with their culture.”

AXO educates about domestic violence

BY Brandi Walker The Daily Wildcat

Alpha Chi Omega sorority plans to utilize October, the official Domestic Violence Awareness Month, to support and educate about domestic violence awareness. The sorority officially kicked off its efforts Monday.

“We believe our cause is special because we are women helping women, and we are able to see our impact here in our own community,” said April Keenan, a senior studying prelaw and psychology and vice president of philanthropy for Alpha Chi Omega.

Keenan said Alpha Chi Omega will have a table on the UA Mall throughout this week to display facts about domestic violence and educate UA community members.

In addition to educating the public, Alpha Chi Omega also hosts a luminary event in October to honor those who have fallen victim to domestic violence, according to Keenan.

There have been 84 reported domestic violence-related deaths in Arizona since Sept. 30, according to the data on the Arizona Coalition to End Domestic Violence website.

These victims will be honored at the luminary event Wednesday at 7 p.m. in front of Old Main, Keenan said.

Alpha Chi Omega donates 80 percent of the money raised from philanthropy events to Emerge!, according to Taylor Towne, a nutritional sciences junior and member of Alpha Chi Omega.

According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, “85 percent of domestic violence victims are women … [and] boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to

abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.”

Keenan also said the sorority hosts two main philanthropy events to support domestic violence awareness every year: the Lyre Games and Pizza Pie with Alpha Chi. She said they hold these events to raise money for donations to the local domestic abuse treatment center, Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse.

Keenan said this year, the Lyre Games may involve kickball.

“Lyre Games is a week-long event that’s in

the spring, generally March or April, where we do different contests through the week,” Keenan said. “This past year we did ‘make the change’ boxes, where fraternities would collect change for donation. It all led up to the main event where the fraternities form different teams to participate in a head-to-head obstacle course.”

Keenan said the sorority also participates in events throughout the year, such as Healthy Relationships Week in February, to promote healthy love.

“Alpha Chi Omega’s philanthropy is important to me because of the direct impact it has in our community,” Towne said. “One in every three women are affected by domestic violence in college, and by supporting awareness for this cause, we are helping potential friends, roommates and classmates.”

Freshmen meet their majors at UA fair

BY Ava Garcia

The Daily Wildcat

The annual Meet Your Major Fair will take place Wednesday in the Student Union Memorial Center’s Grand Ballroom. The fair will feature representatives from different majors and will allow students to learn more about various degree programs.

The fair is put on by Bess Ecelbarger, advising specialist for the Colleges of Letters, Art and Science.

Ecelbarger contacted various major departments to see if they would participate in the fair, and then set up the layout of the event and the location of student ambassadors within the event.

“It’s a great opportunity for students to be able to gather information about a lot of different

majors all at one time in one place,” Ecelbarger said. “So to have all the representatives available in the ballroom for a few hours so that they can speak with the representatives and find out more about those majors is a really great opportunity, as opposed to having to go meet with people individually all around campus.”

This opportunity is one that is especially geared toward those who are uncertain of their major, according to Ecelbarger.

“It could be an opportunity for students who do have a major declared but perhaps are thinking about changing that major,” Ecelbarger said. “They feel like they’re not in the right place but they’re not quite sure what they want to change it to, so those students could certainly use the fair as an

opportunity to explore.”

Students with undeclared majors aren’t the only ones who could potentially benefit from attending the fair. Ecelbarger said that the fair could be helpful to those who want to explore options for a minor or a second major.

Morgan Soehl, an art history freshman, is attending the fair in order to learn more about potentially double-majoring in gender and women’s studies.

“I want to make sure I can handle both of them at the same time and make sure they are applicable in some way,” Soehl said. “I’m exploring more options, but that’s my number one [second major choice] right now.”

When it comes to who attends the fair, Ecelbarger said that students from Pima Community College

who are thinking of transferring to the UA are invited to come and learn about different majors. But, according to Ecelbarger, the majority of students that come to the fair are UA underclassmen, though there are occasionally upperclassmen.

“Certainly the department representatives would be able to speak with students about the kinds of opportunities that are available for them in their respective majors, so they might talk to students about what kind of internships might be available, or the courses that they would be looking to take, or other kinds of opportunities that could be available to them,” Ecelbarger said.

Some students feel they do not need that extra step of visiting the fair in order to solidify their major choice. Tessa Patterson, a journalism junior , cited the helpful guidance

of the counselors in her major’s department as one of the reasons she doesn’t feel the need to go to the fair.

“I probably won’t go, just because I’m really far along in my program,” Patterson said. “It’s such a specific field that I don’t really need to have it broadened for me.”

This broadening is done through an in-depth explanation of each major, in which the fair offers students a look at what lies ahead if they decide to declare that major.

“Being a freshman, I haven’t been exposed to all sorts of things yet, so I want to double check that I’m doing what I’m supposed to do,” Soehl said.

The end isn’t nigh, again BY greg castro

The Daily Wildcat

M

ore and more I find myself observing the Millennial trends we don’t like to talk about on Buzzfeed. For every pumpkin spice trending story, we have a mass shooting. Last week, right next to the latest Donald Trump gaffe, we had the Super Moon. And with that celestial event, as always, came apocalypse predictions.

And while every generation has experienced its fair share of apocalyptic predictions, ours seems to get the most publicity and attention. The earliest calamity I can remember worrying about was Y2K, something my parents comically underprepared for by purchasing a case of water and some tuna, and storing them in our basement. That, for us, would’ve been a very short apocalypse.

But, of course, nothing came to pass.

Next we had 2010, which hosted both Nostradamus and Biblical End Times predictions. Ultimately, the world failed to blink out of existence as Nostradamus predicted, and the great comet Wormwood did not fall from the sky and poison the land as written in Revelation.

Finally, in 2012, we had perhaps the most popular predicted End of the World with the

end of the Mayan calendar. I was a freshman in college at the time, but I’ll admit to having breathed a little easier when I saw the clock go from 11:59 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. that night, signaling that we had, once again, avoided the apocalypse.

At this point, I refuse to even pay attention. The sky could turn red, purple lightning could start hitting the ground and I’d probably just go back to playing Skyrim. “Call me when Jesus rips open the clouds and the angels appear trumpeting his return,” is now my reply to on-campus apocalypse predictors.

Unfortunately, the rest of the nation has not followed me in this rejection of End Times-mania.

As the Super Moon approached on Sept.

27, hysteria grew to a point where even the Mormon church felt compelled to release a statement.

“The Church encourages our members to be spiritually and physically prepared for life’s ups and downs,” the Church wrote.

“This teaching to be self-reliant has been accompanied by the counsel of Church leaders to avoid being caught up in extreme efforts to anticipate catastrophic events.”

“

Good for them, though. You know things have gotten out of hand when even the Mormons have to tell other Americans to stop making stuff up. Christian and Jewish congregations especially seemed to fear this event, with CNN reporting that the popular theory stated that the last two eclipses happened in historically significant years such as 1492 and 1948, meaning something horrific is surely on its way this year.

Already, this theory is problematic in that there has never been a year that historians might describe as, “historically insignificant.” Imagine a textbook that read, “1873? Shit year. Nothing happened. Moving on…”

Any time frame can have some relevant event attributed to it, and thus any eclipse can be said to occur just before “calamitous events.”

This obsession with the end of the world extends into popular culture as well. In the ’90s, when everyone was generally a bit more Jesus-y, the Left Behind series of novels and three terrible Kirk Cameron movies were at the top of best-seller lists. These works portrayed a very literal interpretation of the Book of Revelation, opening with the Rapture finally occurring, leaving nothing of Christians,

save their puddled clothing in the streets.

Now that religion has fallen out of style, we as a nation have moved on to more secular, impossibly bleaker depictions of the apocalypse. What’s the most watched scripted series on television? “The Walking Dead,” of course. This was even worse in 2012, when new television series included “Falling Skies” and “Revolution,” which have since mercifully been cancelled.

Why the obsession then? It’s probably nothing too unique. Since the dawn of modern civilization, man has been obsessed with recording his own demise, whether that be on the massive or individual scale.

Nothing is scarier than death, and so, like the also super-scary carcharodon carcharias—that’s a great white shark, people—we devote whole weeks to it on the Discovery Channel.

In our modern oppressive society, in which most of us feel that no one recognizes our true greatness, it’s also comfortable to imagine a simpler world, where all of our usual concerns fade away and all that’s left to worry about is scrounging for food or looking for better ways to kill zombies.

Of course, no one wants to consider that they might be the least suited for such an environment. Someone who can’t cut it in today’s cushy world of Elantras and lattes would probably be the first to go in a fight against Mad Max-style raiders. Still, we can dream.

100 percent engagement costs students by maddie pickens The Daily Wildcat

I

n 2000, more than 1.2 million students received their undergraduate diploma. Ten years later that number was expected to rise 30 percent to about 1.6 million, and, according to the Census Bureau, this would triple the projected rate of population over the same period.

Universities are always concerned with retention and the number of bachelor’s degrees their students graduate with— hell, we even pay out bonuses to our university president when a certain quantity of students graduate. Why, then, are we essentially forcing students to pay for their own professional development in the form of mandatory internships?

It goes without saying that an undergraduate degree is important in the job search. But nowadays, it does little to distinguish graduates. Rather, students must find other ways to make their resumes stand out or else risk ending up unemployed and thousands of dollars in debt.

A key way to stand out, then, has to do with internships, paid or unpaid. An internship is an unquestionably valuable experience. It can provide students with an idea of what work in their field looks like. Even if the work is nothing more than fetching coffee, it can allow for networking opportunities that will open doors later down the line.

The benefits are even quantifiable. Sixtythree percent of paid interns in the UA class of 2012 had at least one job offer at the time they graduated, whereas only 40 percent of those who did not intern anywhere had an offer.

Obviously, students who wish to be employable after they graduate should be considering internships. However, finding paid internships can be incredibly difficult, as many employers don’t want to “waste” money on a student who is unlikely to be trained or to stick with the company postgraduation.

This is where unpaid internships come in. The Department of Labor has certain requirements in order to qualify employers to offer unpaid internships. Perhaps the most important requirement is that the internship is beneficial to the student.

Employers come up with a lot of different ways to meet that requirement. One of the most obvious is to allow students to get

college credit for the work they do with a company.

Many schools have, in turn, noted the benefits of these internships and are working with companies to provide these internships for credit. The UA has a lot of different ways to get credit for internships—you can either get it through your department or through a general class with the Colleges of Letters, Arts and Science.

All of this is great so far. Colleges should provide career development opportunities.

The issue, then, isn’t with offering internships for credit, but rather with requiring them for graduation.

Many different departments have this requirement. For example, some branches of political science require an internship, or require study abroad that can be substituted by an internship.

These required internships are problematic not because of their intent. Without a doubt, internships are valuable to the student. However, when departments make them part of graduation requirements, they are essentially forcing a student to pay for their own professional development.

If a student received three units of internship credit last summer—a highly convenient time for professional

development—they would have paid over $1,300 for it. This is not always feasible financially. Merit scholarships do not transfer to summer session, and being in class takes away time that could be spent working to earn money.

Of course, even during the academic year, students are being forced to spend tuition money to enhance their career options.

While these internships are ostensibly for their own benefit, students should never have to pay to work. That’s not beneficial.

That’s taking advantage of someone who has no other option.

Rather, colleges, and the UA in particular, should consider subsidizing these career options. Students making a time commitment to an internship are often giving up other ways to earn money or time they could have spent on other units for graduation.

It’s unlikely that companies will start paying for these internships as long as they aren’t legally required to; it could go a long way toward helping a student’s career prospects if they were paid for their labor, rather than having to pay for it.

Tucson: Portland of the Southwest BY trey ross

The Daily Wildcat

I

n most of my upper-division classes, the professor will ask if anyone plans on staying in Tucson to pursue a career after we graduate. Cue the scoffs.

A majority of the students will explain how they need a bigger city because Tucson (insert excuse here).

These excuses include anything from the size, location and job market to the lack of ocean and fast-paced, big city vibe.

I admire the high standards that my fellow students have set for themselves and their future lives. However, I think too many UA students are jaded by Tucson.

Living in New York City isn’t going to make your life any

better; in reality, spending your twenties in NYC working your first job will drain your bank account and cause your suppressed, deep-rooted, selfesteem issues to surface.

But, you’ll probably get really good at fitting all of your possessions in weird spaces because you share a twobedroom apartment with five other aspiring whatevers. At least the nightlife is dope.

Now that I’m off my soapbox, I think it’s important that students at UA realize that being successful after college doesn’t mean living some sort of “Sex and the City” dream or hanging out with famous people at 1Oak in Los Angeles.

No offense to anyone who has these aspirations; go for it. But it’s time for students to realize how much potential this city we’re already living in actually has for people our age.

With that being said, Money

resources or contacts to relevant employment and internship prospects in our area.

“Well, Listservs and the Career Fair already do that,” you might say—which is true. But I’d like to hear from my professors why they chose Tucson and why they enjoy living here. It would be nice to have young professionals come to our classes and speak a little about their experience.

Being young is about chasing big dreams, but shows like “Million Dollar Listing” and “The Hills” have given us all really screwed up ideas about what our twenties are supposed to look like.

Don’t waste an opportunity here because the grass isn’t always greener somewhere else.

Well in our case, I guess the desert isn’t always drier?

PAC-12 POWER RANKINGS NORTH

3

Oregon — While it did beat the Buffs by 17, the Oregon of old definitely would have imposed its will earlier in the game. Oregon could sneak back into the top 25 with wins over the Washington schools before a huge matchup of two-loss teams against ASU.

1

Stanford — The Cardinal is flying high after laying the beat down on Arizona last Saturday. Kevin Hogan had only two incompletions and the running game piled up over 300 yards as Stanford’s offense scored on every possession to win 55-17.

2

Cal — The other Bay Area school had its hands full against Wazzu before narrowly escaping with a 34-28 win.

Three-straight ranked teams to end October before a matchup against Oregon can either kill the Bears’ season or catapult them into the national spotlight.

4

Wazzu — The Cougars are a few plays away from being 4-0 instead of 2-2, but they need to put it all together. If they can pull off the upset against a vulnerable Oregon team, they could possibly make a bowl game.

BY IVAN LEONARD The Daily Wildcat

5

Washington — The Huskies face USC this week in what will be their third matchup with a ranked opponent already. Washington almost beat Boise State and Cal, so the Trojans cannot afford to overlook them.

6

Oregon State — Coming off of a bye, the Beavers have three-straight seemingly winnable games on their hands.

Their passing game needs to get going, however, as Seth Collins has been quite underwhelming so far throwing the ball.

PAC-12

3

USC — No. 17 USC had a bye last weekend and face the Washington Huskies this week at home. After that, it faces Notre Dame, Utah and then Cal on Halloween, so October might not be a treat for the Trojans.

FROM PAGE 20

S0UTH 1

Utah — The consensus fifth team in the Pac-12 South is now fifth in the nation as the Utes moved up during their bye. A matchup against other Pac-12 surprise team Cal could prove that wins over Michigan and Oregon were not flukes.

5

Colorado — Although they lost to the Ducks last week, there is room for optimism. They still have games against Arizona, Wazzu and Oregon State, so the Buffs might go bowling this winter.

4

ASU — ASU is not giving up just yet, as they held the ball for over 37 minutes and pulled off a shocker against UCLA last Saturday. Mike Bercovici accounted for over 300 yards and three scores as the Devils avenged the previous week’s disappointment against USC.

2

UCLA — After thrashing one Arizona school, UCLA could not keep the momentum going, and the Sun Devils capitalized. The running game tallied only 62 yards and could not get off the field.

Soccer embraces contender status

BY Ryan Kelapire The Daily Wildcat

The Wildcats walked off the field with faces of despair as Stanford celebrated a game-winning goal after a period of extra time.

The ‘Cats battled with the fifthranked team in the country for 102 minutes, and were a goal away from capturing the best win in program history, but instead came away empty handed.

“We were expecting it to be a hard game, but we gave it our all, and it’s disappointing that it didn’t go our way,” said Arizona forward Gabi Stoian.

It was a heartbreaking defeat, yet at the same time, the team’s dissatisfaction also displays the transformation that Arizona soccer is currently going through.

For a program that had lost nearly two-thirds of its games and nearly 80 percent of its conference games coming into this season, taking a top-five team into overtime would seem to be a noteworthy accomplishment in its own right.

“I think it’s changed in the fact that, maybe years ago, if you have a losing team, they look at that as a win,” said Arizona head coach Tony Amato.

Since Amato took over as the head coach in 2013, however, Arizona is not what one would consider a losing team. The team has compiled a 28-17-7 record in the past three years while improving each season. The program’s expectations, especially from the players, have noticeably risen from what they were just a few years ago.

“We went extra time with Stanford, but I don’t know if you saw them walking off. They had a lot of long faces and were extremely disappointed,” Amato said. “They feel like they lost, … and that tells me more about our team than anything else.”

No longer do Arizona’s players feel as though they are underdogs content with just being competitive.

Rather, they now believe they can beat anybody at any time.

“We can play with anybody, and so even though it is Stanford, and they are a great team, we’re not scared. We’re not going to back down,” said Arizona midfielder Jaden DeGracie.

It’s one thing to say that, and it’s another to prove it. So far the Wildcats have.

Just this season, the ‘Cats have come away with two victories

Alex mcbae/The Daily Wildcat

Midfielder Alexa Montgomery (20) pushes the ball down the field to the Stanford goal Sunday, Oct. 4. The Wildcats lost 3-2.

against teams that are currently ranked in the top 25: Washington and Santa Clara. Plus, they beat Cal, which is no longer ranked, but was No. 23 when they faced Arizona.

They’ve also forced a tie against No. 13 Texas Tech, and of course, just went step-for-step with No. 5 Stanford for 102 minutes.

The strong play has resulted in the program not only gaining

local attention—each home game draws a stadium-filling crowd—but national recognition as well. The team has jumped up to No. 15 in the latest NSCAA Coaches Poll and is No. 11 in the country in RPI. As such a highly ranked team, the Wildcats will start to see their opponents going all out to take them down, similar to what Arizona’s basketball program faces when it hits the road.

In Friday’s game against Cal, for example, the Golden Bears changed their formation to counter Arizona’s style of play. Amato said it’s unusual for opposing teams to significantly change their game plan as Cal did, but ultimately he sees it as a sign of respect.

“It’s a compliment,” he said.

Indeed it is. It’s yet another sign of the program’s rise to prominence.

The program is no longer a

bottom-feeder in the Pac-12.

Instead, it has become a program that should be able to compete year-in and year-out for a conference title. The team’s motto is “leave a legacy,” and given the success it’s having, that’s exactly what it’s doing.

MLB playoffs step up to the plate

BY Ross Olson

The Daily Wildcat

Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times/TNS

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw composes himself after surrendering a home run to the Los Angeles Angels’ Kole Calhoun, background, in the first inning at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

October baseball has arrived as the MLB postseason kicks off this week, beginning with the two wildcard games from the two divisions. After the wildcard games, the American League divisional series will begin Thursday and the National League series Friday.

A few of the teams competing in the postseason may come as a surprise to baseball fans around the nation, featuring the likes of the Cubs, Astros, Blue Jays and Mets.

One New York team is used to October (and even November) baseball, and the other hasn’t made the playoffs in nine years. The latter is the New York Mets, which will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Division Series.

This series will feature some of the most elite pitchers in the game, such as the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw and Cy Young award hopeful Zack Greinke, who is coming off a historic season. Greinke put up video game numbers this year, finishing with a 19-3 record, an ERA of 1.66 and 200 strikeouts.

The Mets aren’t throwing any slouches either with former NL Rookie of the Year Jacob deGrom scheduled to pitch in the opener.

The rest of the rotation hasn’t been announced yet, but expect to see the likes of other extraordinary pitchers like Matt Harvey and Noah Syndergaard.

Elsewhere in the National League, the St. Louis Cardinals finished with the best record in the NL and won the league’s best division in the NL Central. The Cardinals will face the winner of the NL wildcard game, which begins tonight at 8 p.m.

The Chicago Cubs notoriously have not won a World Series in 107 years, which is the longest drought in any major professional sport. But they are back in the postseason for the first time since 2008 and will face the Pittsburgh Pirates in tonight’s NL Wildcard Game in what should be another pitching matchup for the ages.

The Cubs will send Cy Young candidate Jake Arrieta to the mound to face the Pirates’ ace and former UCLA pitcher Gerrit Cole.

Arrieta has made a strong case for the Cy Young award, finishing

with an NL-leading 22 wins, while posting an ERA of 1.77, which is good for second in the NL behind Greinke. Arrieta also finished third in strikeouts with 236.

The Toronto Blue Jays held the longest playoff drought in the majors of 22 years, but after a magical season ignited by trade deadline acquisitions Troy Tulowitzki and David Price, the drought is no more. The last time the Jays made the playoffs, they won the World Series on a walk-off home run by Joe Carter. The Blue Jays are hoping for similar results as they host the Texas Rangers in the AL Division Series, which begins Thursday.

The Rangers are another team that was not expected to be in this position halfway into the season. The Rangers had a 50-52 record at the trade deadline when they acquired pitcher Cole Hamels from the Phillies, and the rest is history.

With several tough teams in this year’s postseason, it will be interesting to see which will prevail.

UA volleyball hits road to face UW, WSU

BY Brandon James The Daily Wildcat

After defeating Cal on Friday night three sets to one in front of the home crowd in McKale Center, the Wildcats hit the road, taking on Washington tonight and Washington State on Friday.

The difficult schedule continues for the Wildcats, with Washington being ranked No. 6 and Washington State having won 12 games already this season. They are currently in the middle of a stretch of 12 matches that has featured six of the top nine teams in the country, as well as eight teams ranked in the top 25 overall.

They will hope to finally get over the hump against a top-10 team, having lost tight matches to Ohio State, Texas, ASU and Stanford.

Kalei Mau, whose 4.56 kills per set is the third highest in the Pac-12 Conference, said she feels good about her team going into the road trip, as they have finally had an opportunity to get some rest.

“We were going actually 12 days straight, and then finally this weekend we got some rest time,” Mau said. “I think we are all pretty much ready to take on another week and just go hard.”

When asked about what it will take for the

Wildcats to finally get over the hump against a top-10 opponent, Laura Larson, a junior and defensive specialist, said she believes her team is in a position to make that move.

“We’ve played so many top-10 teams over the last five or six games,” Larson said. “I think each game we have taken something from that—how to win against those teams. Our serve and pass will be very important in the game, so if we win that battle, I think we’ll have a chance to beat them.”

With a 2-2 record in Pac-12 play and an overall record of 12-4, Arizona looks ready to take on Washington and Washington State.

Over the last eight games, their serve-receive team has only given up 0.44 aces a set after giving 1.12 aces a set in its first eight games.

They also lead the Pac-12 in digs so far, averaging 16.45 a set, and are second in kills and assists. Even in their losses, the Wildcats have proven to be highly competitive against all of their opponents this season, not having been swept once.

Arizona’s match against Washington starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.
