UA parents register and receive information for “Mom & Dad” Day on Oct. 15, 1960. Family Weekend was known as Parents’ Day from 1964 until 1989, when the current moniker came into usage.

Family Weekend: a history

BY Michelle Jaquette

The Daily Wildcat

Almost a century ago, the UA first welcomed parents to “Mom & Dad” Day. It was 1929, just 38 years after the opening of the university and 30 years after the formation of the school’s first football team.

Since then, “Mom & Dad” day became Parents’ Day (circa 1964) and eventually transformed into the weekend-long celebration known as UA Family Weekend in 1989.

For the past 10 years, the Associated Students of the University of

Arizona has organized Family Weekend, hosting traditional events like the Ice Cream Social, Casino Night and the Saturday tailgate.

New this year, ASUA will host a 5K run Sunday as part of Family Weekend. All proceeds from the race will go to UA’s long-time partner, Diamond Children’s Hospital.

Over the years, ASUA has gotten Family Weekend down to a fine art, and ASUA Administrative Vice President Tatum Hammond said it’s all about the little details now.

“We try to plan traditional events, but you also have to leave time for families to be with one another,” Hammond said.

This year, Family Weekend has coincided with Tucson’s popular folklife festival, Tucson Meet Yourself. TMY grew out of the university’s folklife program, Southwest Folklife Alliance, and it has now become a three-day event celebrating the plurality of cultures in the Southwest.

Nonprofits and cultural groups set up food and craft stations around downtown Tucson, and musicians,

dancers and folk artists come to perform onstage. “[TMY] always happens the second weekend of October and it maintains a very strict schedule,” said Lydia Breunig, the director of Outreach and Special Projects for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. “... We actually have people calling and asking us when [TMY] is happening because they want to schedule their weddings around it.”

TMY is now officially listed as a Family Weekend event on the site’s schedule, and families are encouraged to attend. With over 60 different cultural

groups and ethnicities represented, those who go to TMY will get a chance to experience the diversity and flare the Southwest has to offer.

Though its name has changed over the last century, the UA tradition of bringing families together to celebrate the university and the Tucson community hasn’t changed. This weekend is a time for families to immerse themselves in tradition.

Tucson Meet Yourself returns

BY Gabriella Vukelic The Daily Wildcat

The Southwest Folklife Alliance is hosting the 42nd Tucson Meet Yourself, an annual festival of the traditional arts of Southern Arizona and Northern Mexico’s cultures.

The event features artists, chefs, dancers and musicians who celebrate “beauty in all its diverse, informal and everyday forms,” according to the TMY website.

The SFA is a nonprofit organization of the UA College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. According to the SFA website, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences is an affiliate of the Folklife Alliance and of the festival. The College of Humanities also served an important role for the SFA as the public folklorist’s teaching unit for 13 years in the Endowed Fund position.

Besides the festival, the SFA also supports the economic development of cultural artists and professional institutes by spreading awareness of folklore and cultural practices in the border region.

Maribel Alvarez, executive director of the SFA and public folklorist, moved to the school of anthropology in 2013. Alvarez also helped expand TMY into a selfsustaining nonprofit organization.

According to Alvarez, the words “diversity” and “multicultural” were barely beginning to enter the vocabulary of American popular culture in cities like Tucson when the festival began in 1974.

TMY changed the way Tucsonans shared beauty, tradition and honor across distinct cultural enclaves.

“It literally brought neighbors out of the shadows to meet in the public square to dance, eat, sing and taste each other’s cultures,”Alvarez said. “A festival is not a pill

that cures all social ills; we folklorist like to think that it is a bit of preventive medicine for the wounds of social inequality.”

SFA said they are pleased to announce this year’s festival will carry 110 folk artists, 95 musical performances and 55 food vendors including cultural clubs, associations, churches and families. Every year, a “Cultural Kitchen” takes place, and this year, it holds a contest of family recipes staged with students from City High School.

The three-day event takes place in downtown Tucson where the city of Tucson handles the disposal of the recycling and landfill waste from the event. Compost Cats take care of the compost collected throughout the event.

Students for Sustainability also participates in the annual three-day event to provide recycling and compost coaching to all sponsors.

SFS members, Compost Cats and a few Tucson community volunteers are stationed throughout the festival and are in charge of waste bins for compost, recycling and actual landfill waste.

“Our duty is to ensure anything and everything that can be diverted from the landfills, while at the same time educating patrons on what is recyclable, compostable and why,” said Trevor Ledbetter, chair of the SFS marketing committee. “We do this in an effort to push TMY-goers to increase proper recycling and composting in their personal lives.”

FAMILY FESTIVITIES

BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat

Events will be held across campus over the next few days for students and their families, allowing them to immerse themselves in the Wildcat culture and lifestyle.

Lauren Maxwell, executive director of Family Weekend, said she didn’t just want to have events where families only sat and watched something.

“We’re really focusing our energy on people having an experience,” Maxwell said. “we try and make [the events] interactive.”

She said families are flying in from all over the country, and the interactive activities are fun and enjoyable.

Maxwell said she expects a lot of people to attend an event this year that was one of the most popular events last year: Casino Night. During Casino Night, the whole family can gamble with no stakes with the chance to win prizes, such as a Rich Rodriguez-autographed football.

Casino Night will feature dueling pianos where two players switch off between playing with each other and playing against one another, according to Maxwell.

The first ever Family Weekend 5K will take place on the UA Mall Sunday from 7-10 a.m.

Maxwell said she really hopes families sign up and pay the $10 each for the 5K— the ticket price is waived for children 6 and under—to raise awareness and money for the Diamond Children’s Hospital.

Even though families can register onsite at the registration tent on the UA Mall, there is no guarantee that families will still be able to purchase tickets or attend all events.

The Ice Cream Social with President Ann Weaver Hart and other VIP’s and staff is already sold out, according to Maxwell.

Maxwell said one of the events that is always popular and most common is the football game. This year’s kick-off against Oregon State is Saturday at 1 p.m.

Julian MacKenzie, an engineering freshman, said his parents are coming from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and are excited to go the football game.

MacKenzie said the game is one of the only events they really want to attend, but he’s excited to see his parents since he hasn’t seen them since school started.

He said families coming to Family Weekend will be able to spend quality time together, rather than just lying in the hotel room watching TV, because they’re coming on a weekend full of events.

Maxwell said around $60,000 has been spent in planning all of Family Weekend and its events for families. This is including the cost of food at events like the Associated Students of the University of Arizona Tailgate and Ice Cream Social.

Maxwell said different programs, organizations, sororities, fraternities, clubs, departments like athletics, colleges and groups on campus are offering many different activities and events for their affiliated students.

According to the Family Weekend website, “There is an event for all families and we are so happy to have you all join us on this weekend and really see what being a Wildcat is all about.”

During UA Family Weekend, students and their families can enjoy a wide array of events. From 5Ks to football games, there is something for everyone.

UA families go the distance

BY ANDY ALVARADO The Daily Wildcat

The UA student body is comprised of residents from all 50 U.S. states. That means that this Family Weekend, families will be traveling far and wide to participate in the festivities.

Here is a snapshot of where just a few students’ families are traveling from: Aside from cities in Arizona, the most commonly travelled-from state is California, specifically, Orange County. But family members are also flying in from every region of the U.S., from states like Georgia, Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania.

While many students have family coming

for the weekend, some don’t have family coming at all. Many family members are either too far, like in the case of some exchange students, or do not have the means to make the journey to Tucson.

Some students have family members coming—though not exactly for Family Weekend. “[My french horn recital] is on Family Weekend,” said Wade Williford, a sophomore studying French horn performance. “We didn’t plan it that way, but it worked out.”

Williford’s mom and dad are flying in from Houston this weekend to watch his recital and to spend time with him.

Nick Flanery, a history and German studies senior, has his parents coming for Band

Day instead of Family Weekend. Flannery’s parents come every year from Cincinnati to enjoy Band Day festivities, which happen to coincide with Family Weekend this year.

While a majority of those visiting this weekend are whole families, a few students’ family members are coming alone. Graham Smith, a physics junior, has a mother flying in from Georgia and Paige Hanraty has her mom, dad and sister flying in from Philadelphia.

Other students will have inverted family weekends, with either them visiting their families, or their families going away for vacation. Chris Vance, a physiology senior, has parents leaving from Tucson, without him, this weekend.

“My family lives [in Tucson],” said Vance, affirming that he is able to and does see them often. “But my family is actually in South America this weekend—they went away instead of visiting.”

Kaitlyn Martin, a psychology freshman and ride operator at Castles N’ Coasters, said she gets to see her parents every weekend when she drives up to Phoenix for her job, and this weekend is no exception.

Regardless of distance, some families will definitely be coming to the UA to spend the weekend with their Wildcats.

Legacies visit UA for Family Weekend fun

BY Brandi Walker The Daily Wildcat

Family Weekend can be an exciting time for everyone, especially for legacies. A legacy is a member of Greek Life whose parent or sibling was also a member of the same fraternity or sorority.

Ben Adler, a political science sophomore and member of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, is a legacy as his father graduated as a Zeta Beta Tau from the UA in 1983.

“We’re the Alpha Omicron chapter of [Zeta Beta Tau] at the UA and we’re currently AO5, so we’re the fifth installment of the Alpha Omicron chapter,” Adler said. “My dad was a founding father of AO2 at the UA.” Adler said that when he initially went through fraternity recruitment last year, he wanted to keep an open mind and not just join Zeta Beta Tau because that was where his father was a member.

“I kind of wanted to do my own thing, but I ended up with [Zeta Beta Tau] just based on the guys,” Adler said. “I just saw that my dad was so proud and excited that he can now consider me [as a] brother and a son. That just kind of stuck with me because it’s a tradition now; it’s part of my family and it’s something that I hope that my son would carry on.”

Many of the greek organizations host dinners, hikes, barbecues and brunches to welcome

family members to town for the weekend.

“We’ve got some events planned with the fraternity, some dinners and of course a tailgate and just hanging out with the parents and showing them around,” Adler said. “Personally, I’m just going to spend some time with my dad, just kind of show him around our house and how we do things now.”

Gracy Slaughter, a pre-business sophomore and member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority,

is a legacy whose mother attended a different school. Slaughter said her mom graduated as a Kappa Alpha Theta from Penn State.

“At [Kappa Alpha Theta], we are having events all three days this weekend, but I am looking forward to the barbecue on Saturday and brunch on Sunday,” Slaughter said. “I am definitely looking forward to the game. My parents get so excited for the team just because I go here; they like to be a Wildcat fan.”

Slaughter said she was automatically drawn to the Kappa Alpha Theta house and what it represented, and that she and her mother have a unique relationship because they both “get everything [Kappa Alpha Theta].”

“We just had initiation this past Saturday, and that night, I called her and just told her how special it really is that we both are [Kappa Alpha Thetas] and that I am so thankful we can share this bond and sisterhood,” Slaughter said.

“I don’t have any real sisters, so she is my best friend, and because of [Kappa Alpha Theta], she is now my best friend, mom and sister.”

Lance Linn, a business sophomore and pledge member of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, said he is a legacy because his dad was a Sammy at Michigan State University.

“My whole life he’s been pushing and preaching Sammy, and telling me how great his college experience was,” Linn said. “So now, being able to share that experience with my dad, because he’s a brother, is a pretty special thing.”

Linn said he is mostly looking forward to attending the football game with his dad.

“We actually bought tickets with [another couple] of my pledge brothers and their dads, so we’ll all be able to share that together and take in the game,” Linn said.

Family Weekend is here and it’s time for students to show their parents the ins and outs of being a UA student. This isn’t the case for Marissa Giunta, a pre-physiology freshman, because her parents attended the UA as well.

Ever since Giunta was a young girl, her parents talked about their adventures at the UA. They met in their second semester of college during freshman year in an English class held in Old Main.

Her parents always spoke highly of the university and attempted to encourage her to attend the UA and share those same experiences.

Aside from her parents attending the university, her aunt and uncle were Wildcats, too.

The four adults spoke enthusiastically about their college years and gave Giunta an open mind about applying.

“I want to go to medical school and the UA is really well-known for their sciences,” Giunta said. “My decision to come here was a no-brainer.”

Giunta is from Scottsdale, Ariz., yet did not attend a single UA sporting event when she was young. As she moves through her freshman year, she has grown a love for the football games, being a part of ZonaZoo and is intrigued by how school-spirited Wildcat pride can be.

The Giunta family has all agreed that, since the UA is a large campus, there is always something to do. From walking on the UA Mall to strolling down University Boulevard, they said it’s always a happy and healthy environment for students.

“I came all the way from

UA alumnae Michelle Storcz, left, and Marissa Giunta, right, pose for a photo at Giunta’s home on May 23. This Family Weekend, alumni are able to celebrate their Wildcat spirit with their UA students.

New York to the UA and I got a great education that prepared me for my teaching career,” said Michelle Storcz, Giunta’s mother. “I fell in love and married my college sweetheart. It is surreal to have my daughter here 26 years later.”

Giunta has two younger brothers, Nicholas, 15, and Dominic, 13. Nicholas plans to attend the UA in the future and Dominic has given thought to attending Arizona State University.

Giunta said she would like to keep the tradition going and have her children attend the UA in the future; however, she said if they don’t find interest in the school, she wants her future children to attend a university that makes them happy.

Giunta said she thinks the most fascinating feature about the UA is

the variety of courses offered and the interesting general education classes.

Declaring her major was a large factor in her decision to come to the UA. Giunta said she thinks the UA can lead her in the right direction of pursuing the career she hopes to succeed in.

“I think UA is an excellent school where you can get a great undergraduate and graduate education,” said Michael Giunta, Marissa’s father. “Many of my patients are impressed when they ask where I went to school.

[The] UA and UA medical school are well-known and well respected.”

During Family Weekend, Storcz plans to re-visit her alma mater and Bear Down with her daughter, Marissa.

As the tradition of Family Weekend quickly approaches, excitement builds for sorority and fraternity members who roll out the red carpet for their parents, showcasing their lives as college students.

Family Weekend gives parents the opportunity to spend time with their children, meet their college friends and participate in events with sorority or fraternity chapters.

Many chapters will often hold luncheons or dinners, like the New Member Presents dinners, which are held at off-campus locations and focus on the chapters’ recently initiated members and their families.

According to Brooke Serack, president of the UA Panhellenic Executive Council, New Member Presents dinners let parents and families meet all the newest members of their daughter’s pledge class.

“It’s a really cool event,” Serack said.

Samantha Barbee, a criminal justice junior and Delta Gamma member, will be celebrating Family Weekend with her parents. Barbee will attend the Delta Gamma barbecue Saturday and will also go to a glass blowing class with her mom, roommate and her roommate’s mom.

“My favorite part about Family Weekend is seeing everyone else’s families,” Barbee said.

Chelsea Estes, Delta Gamma president, wrote in an email that the sorority will also be hosting a Family Weekend brunch and an open house for families to see the new renovations on Sunday.

Joshua Schwartz, president of Sigma

Alpha Mu, is looking forward to the weekend’s festivities.

“We have a member whose family is coming as far as the East Coast,” Schwartz said.

Sigma Alpha Mu will host a banquet for families and fraternity members Friday night which will feature an awards ceremony, speeches and a video montage.

Sigma Alpha Mu will partner with Alpha Epsilon Pi Saturday to host a gameday barbecue. The fraternity will have a farewell brunch Sunday morning to wrap up the weekend.

Schwartz’s mother, father and brother will be visiting from Phoenix and will participate in the Family Weekend festivities along with his girlfriend.

Schwartz will not only be participating in his fraternity’s activities, but also has a dinner planned with his fraternity family, including bigs, littles and even grandbigs.

“It’s a tradition that the Saturday night after the game, we all go out to dinner together,” Schwartz said. “Family Weekend is really the only opportunity we have once a year to showcase the amount of work that goes into running a fraternity.”

People don’t always get to see the hours of hard work that are put into running a fraternity, such as planning philanthropy events, special weekends for parents and managing and maintaining the house, Schwartz said.

“It’s our opportunity to recognize those brothers for the excellence that they show and for their contribution to the organization, and that’s really exciting.”

F*ck everything about Family Weekend by trey ross

The Daily Wildcat

T

he UA’s annual “hide your drugs and sober up weekend,” or Family Weekend, is coming in hot. Great.

As a student who has lost a parent, I have found myself dreading this weekend for the past two years. I can’t help it and, no, I don’t want to hang out with your family when they get here.

When my father died, I realized that there is no handbook. There is a whole list of things that no one tells you will become utterly different now in your life­­­—no matter how long it’s been since your loved one has been gone.

This phenomenon is not grief. Trust me.

It’s a side effect of being a young person, losing a loved one, and then trying to figure out how to live through awkward situations for the rest of your formative years.

Christmas? I don’t like it.

All these families trying to look perfect,

smiling families in “I’m an Arizona (insert sending out Christmas cards, going to whatever relative you are here)” shirts. church together—everyone’s happy and Hope you didn’t pay too much for that living the American dream. scratchy, ill-fitting sportswear!

If you’re a student whose parents enjoy participating in the whole “we’re perfect, we love each other and we are so proud to be in this happy, complete family” façade that we call Family Weekend, please remember something: Don’t ask if your friend, whose parents cannot be here for whatever reason, if they would like to share your parents for the weekend.

Hell no, I’m not going to pretend that your dad is my dad. That’s weird. And I hate that. I hate him. If you ask me again I might throw a punch.

Yes, I am cynical. No one told me that when I lost my dad, the smallest random things could turn me grouchy or that I would resent families trying to be something they’re not. No one is perfect; enjoy one another in the good and the bad.

To all of those in the “dead parent’s club”: I salute you. Deep breath and remember—it’s only three days.

Solar power an intelligent o-pick BY cooper temple The Daily Wildcat

A

s oil prices continue to drop globally, Gulf states are increasingly being forced to find alternate sources of revenue. Many, subsequently, have begun to invest heavily in more sustainable forms of energy, such as solar, to help offset the economic slowdown created by the oil market. Arizona, however, is reticent to invest in solar energy, which is quite strange for an extremely sunny state, and that’s a problem.

Dubai, for instance, has recently constructed a solar park that will produce the world’s cheapest solar energy and hopefully help provide 15 percent of the power output in Dubai with renewable energy by

2030. Saudi Arabia’s oil minister, Ali al-Naimi, made headlines this summer when he announced he mainly wanted to discuss solar power at the Oil Producing and Exporting Countries meeting in June. Kuwait recently signed a $385 million contract for a solar energy project.

Solar power is emerging as a viable alternative to some fossil fuels, and with the International Energy Agency estimating that solar power could contribute 27 percent of the world’s electricity by 2050 if significant technological and legislative progress is made, it is imperative to invest in the energy now.

Unfortunately, multiple groups in Arizona are still fighting the adoption of widespread solar energy despite the state’s ideal environment for the alternative source of power. Arizona Public Service, the state’s largest power company, has consistently

protested against solar and attempted, through various means, to prevent consumers from choosing to go green.

Primarily, APS has promoted its interests by lobbying for monthly fees. A $5-per-month fee already exists, but claiming that solar power will be a significant financial burden, the company recently has requested a $21-per-month fee to be added to the electricity bills of those who install rooftop panels on their homes, mitigating possible savings to the consumer.

Furthermore, according to the Associated Press, “[APS] is widely believed to have spent as much as $3.2 million in last year’s Corporation Commission election to back its favored candidates, who easily won.”

These funds, also known as dark money, would have been channeled into the campaigns of APS-favored Tom Forese and Doug Little by APS via non-profits. If

this claim is accurate, the elected commissioners would have serious conflicts of interest. The production of cleaner, greener energy should not be controlled by political bodies.

In fact, as stated by the publication Industry Dive, a complaint was filed two weeks ago by two former commissioners and solar company Sunrun “requesting that [the commissioners] recuse themselves from weighing in on a proposed grid access fee from one of the state’s major power producers.” The submitters argue that the bias on the Corporation Commission would negatively impact the development of solar power in Arizona.

Rather than continue to fight the inevitable with dark money and unnecessary fees, APS should instead be acknowledging the immense benefits solar energy could bring to Arizona. According to Energy Informative, a site

dedicated to helping consumers understand renewable energy, solar power saves consumers thousands, increases home value, helps to protect the environment and saves citizens the frustration of dealing with fluctuating electricity prices.

Arizona should follow the example set by the Gulf states and commit to greener energy either through government action or promotion of private solar companies.

Only companies such as APS stand to gain from preventing the implementation of solar energy, and until effective laws are set to prevent their absurdly large campaign contributions, Arizona will remain behind the times as the world invests in the sun.

Tenure awarded amidst treachery by graham palace The Daily Wildcat

T

he UA just gave tenure to a professor who has been proven, on multiple accounts, to have plagiarized from her students. As an institution of higher learning, the university should be ashamed that it is not only completely ignoring its own code of academic integrity but simultaneously rewarding such an egregious act of professional misconduct.

Let me begin by making this explicitly clear (because I, unlike some at our university, give credit where credit is due): much of the following summary is based on the research and article done by Carol Ann Alaimo of the Arizona Daily Star.

Recently, Susannah Dickinson of the School of Architecture was promoted to a tenured position as an associate professor. Receiving tenure is the goal of most educators in the university system – it is essentially a permanent job contract, providing a professor with job security.

Along with that job security came a raise, bringing Dickinson’s annual salary up to

$70,000.

The problem here is that Dickinson has been confirmed to have used a student’s work without proper attribution – twice.

First, in 2010, Dickinson was “formally admonished” after it was found that a large portion of an application she submitted for a visiting professorship was taken from the work of a master’s student for whom she was a thesis advisor.

Next, in 2013, an investigation done by the UA determined that roughly 20 percent of a paper Dickinson submitted to an architecture conference was taken — word for word — from the same student’s master’s thesis. No quotation marks were used and no footnotes cited the student’s work. The most credit he got was a single sentence noting that the student had done a large part of the research for the paper.

Let’s take a look at what the UA has to say in a document they provide to explain plagiarism: “If you use someone else’s exact words then you must cite the original source (either in a footnote or in a citation in the text), and you must enclose the words in quotation marks or else set them off from the rest of the text by indenting them from the other text.”

Dickinson must have forgotten to read this document.

It’s obviously wrong that Dickinson stole the work of a student she was advising. But

there’s another, arguably larger, issue at play here: even after an egregious breach of academic integrity, she still received a tenured position.

In that same document on plagiarism, the university goes on to warn students that plagiarism can result in federal lawsuits, references “unsympathetic courts” and compares plagiarists to parasites and leeches.

Strong words coming from an organization who just gave a “leech” a comfortable job and a fattened paycheck.

The university is doing everything they can to hide this ordeal from the public eye. During the investigation into Dickinson’s plagiarism, Provost Andrew Comrie, who is in charge of managing the academic affairs of the school, ordered faculty not to discuss the issue with the media or students. Now, the university has declined to release any of the documents related to the decision to grant Dickinson tenure.

In a programming class I’m taking, we were sternly told that even simply looking

“

at another student’s homework code was enough to result in a failure of the project — or worse. I think it’s safe to say that Dickinson must have looked at her student’s work a few times when she was copying it into her own papers.

Not only is the university’s hypocrisy unfair to students, it eats away at the credibility of the university as a research institution. How can the UA expect to be taken seriously if they hold their faculty to lower standards than their students?

How can a student respect a faculty member who was promoted even after stealing her student’s work?

The university apparently believes they can save face by ignoring the media and hiding the truth from their students. I disagree. If they made a mistake by granting Dickinson tenure, they need to own up to it, admit their wrongdoing and use these events to spark a conversation about the realities of plagiarism and how all of us at the university are affected by it.

And if they stand behind their decision, they sure as hell have some explaining to do.

How can the UA expect to be taken seriously if they hold their faculty to lower standards than their students?

CULTURES OF TUCSON

Tucson Meet Yourself gives the Tucson community the chance to learn about various cultures in the city

BY Erika Parra

The Daily Wildcat

Tucson Meet Yourself is opening its culturally diverse world this weekend to the Tucson community, giving individuals the chance to learn more about those around them.

Maribel Alvarez, executive program director for the Southwest Folklife Alliance, said this festival created a healthy way for community members to “cross borders” and get out of their comfort zones in order to really understand each other.

This year, Alvarez said there are 31 cultures being represented in food vendors, 24 in folk art and 45 in performances. She said she believes that getting to know our own region of southwest Arizona and the history here is equally important as knowing about countries on the other side of the world.

“It’s interesting to talk about cultural diversity in a festival of this nature, because for most people, when they think of cultural diversity they think of adding some color, adding something exotic to what seems to be very homogenous,” Alvarez said. “But [at TMY] you kind of flip that and try to understand the complexity within what is already complex.”

For this year’s event, Alvarez said TMY wants to emphasize more on the culture in the Southwest, like music that represents the western/cowboy culture or a motorcycle club that represents the urban Chicano culture in the Southwest and keep expanding it to the community. Alvarez said festivalgoers will also notice the diversity in the people at TMY. “The audience is equally diverse and that stands out when you go to the festival,” Alvarez said.

Every year, TMY hosts new groups that join the festival, Alvarez said. Here are some of the cultures you can expect to find at TMY:

Buddhist Community­

The Buddhist community will be presenting their spiritual practice of their prayer beads, or Mala beads. These are used during their prayer to keep count while reciting and chanting a mantra. These mantras at times are said hundreds and thousands of times. This community will also be presenting a Phowa practice, which is a form of meditation.

Japan

Alvarez said that the Japanese culture has not been represented for some time now. Tomomi Katz

is bringing it back by making Takoyaki, what he says is a very popular food at Japanese festivals.

This dish first started in Osaka, Japan, and is a round-shaped snack filled with ingredients like green onion, ginger and octopus.

Katz moved to Tucson in 2013 and started making this snack when he began missing the food in Japan.

He decided to also share this part of his culture with Tucson.

Cuba

The Cuban community has resided in Tucson since the 1960s and Alvarez said there will be a Cuban club showcasing the music

and culture of the Cuban people.

She said there has not been an “organized Cuban community for years.” The community will come together for TMY and take the audience through the folk and popular music of Cuba.

Burundi

A community of refugees from the Republic of Burundi will also be present in the folk-art section of the festival. Burundi is located in East Africa and in the African Great Lakes region. Crafts such as basket weaving, sculpting and pottery are very popular and important in Burundi culture.

Urban Chicano Culture

Los Vatos motorcycle club will also be in the folk-art section, presenting its colors and patches.

This club has done memorial runs and runs for people who are ill or suffering. The club has also hosted other philanthropic endeavors to help out the community, such as toy drives. This group helps to represent the Chicano Culture here in the Southwest.

Shows you should go see at TMY

BY PAUL BARLYN

The Daily Wildcat

For those hoping to experience a new culture by ear, Tucson Meet Yourself has a variety of options available to experience.

Here are the three local performing acts you need to see: Odaiko Sonora—Tucson’s Japanese ensemble drumming group was co-founded in 2002 by Karen Falkenstrom and Rome Hamner. Since then, the group has been performing a Japanese style of music called Taiko: an intense, booming style of percussion that has been a keystone in Japanese music for centuries.

Odaiko Sonora is inspired by Southern Arizona and its rich Native American culture.

Founding member Karen Falkenstrom wrote in an e-mail, “We wanted to be a regional group that served the Southwest. We took a cue from Odaiko New England,’ which roughly translates to ‘big drum of New England. Theirs was an unusual name for a Taiko group but it seemed to be the right idea for us. Our name, Odaiko Sonora, honors our region and our border culture by taking its name from the desert life in and our neighboring state in Mexico.”

Odaiko Sonora very strongly represents Asian culture in Southern Arizona, and having performed this style of music for well over a decade, it is a very experienced, energized and artful act.

Josefina Lizarraga, Master Folk Artist

Tucson Highlanders—Performing bagpipes and drums around Southern Arizona, Tucson Highlanders heavily embody Scottish culture.

Established in February 2013, the group puts an emphasis on bagpipe instruction and it is clear they want to pass the art of performing this style of music on to others in the area.

William Don Carlos, Pipe Major with the group, explained the history of this music and his experience learning and playing it.

“This is a living tradition. I first began piping while a student at the UA. Then I lived in Glasgow, Scotland and today I [and Tucson Highlanders] teach piping and drumming to people here, regardless of their family heritage,” Don Carlos said.

He went on to say that the group focuses on the cultural diversity of the area. Their music ranges all over the continent of Europe and the group also plays American melodies for other events.

“We play traditional music, but because it is a living tradition, new music is composed all the time. The bagpipes are over 5,000 years old but more popular than ever. Ancient, yet forever new,” Don Carlos said of Tucson Highlanders’ style.

Because the group has so much experience and provides music for many events in the Tucson region, Tucson Highlanders will capture the attention of festival-goers this weekend.

The Bouncing Czechs — The Bouncing Czechs are Tucson’s Czech polka group. Consisting

of five members and led by tuba player John Prokop, the group typically spearheads Oktoberfest here in Tucson.

According to the group’s website, they have been performing together for 19 years and have performed at

a broad range of events in Arizona.

The Bouncing Czechs’ music embodies what is traditionally performed in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and they perform an extensive library of songs from these nations.

Representing Eastern European music at TMY, and performing such a variety of music, The Bouncing Czechs are expected to be an engaging act to see as well.

These bands, as well as many other exciting groups, will

showcase Tucson’s colorful range of cultures at Tucson Meet Yourself.

Why food is a highlight of TMY

BY Justice Amarillas The Daily Wildcat

Taste the flavors from around the world at Tucson Meet Yourself.

Executive Director of Southwest Folklife Alliance Maribel Alvarez highlighted five things that food stands for at Tucson Meet Yourself.

1

“Food is the thing that attracts people to what is essentially an ‘educational event.’”

If all else fails, food is always a good excuse to attend an event.

The taste, smell and even the sight of food from another culture can excite the possibility of wanting to discover more about that culture.

2

“Food is not background or supplementary but rather ‘the program’—the actual material shape of cultural diversity, tangible and real.”

Food is the creation of a culture’s values mixed with the culture’s aesthetics. Food can provide a glimpse into those values and aesthetics.

3

“Food is a symbolic statement of how beauty, human resilience and dignity can be shared across places and generations.”

Even if two different cultures do not share a language, one way they can communicate is through food. It also acts as the gateway for incorporating cultural diversity into the homes of Tucsonans.

4

“Food is a vehicle for cultural groups and small ethnic business owners to raise money, which then gets re-invested in their practices of cultural transmission.”

Investing in knowledge of another’s culture is worth the price, especially if the item of investment is food. If one doesn’t know how to cook the food of another culture, buying it is a great way to still have that cultural connection to those around you.

5

“Food stands for … an affirmation of the value of democratic pluralism.

Tucson is a city with such a large culturally diverse population that it’s almost impossible to not be exposed to it in some way.”

Making or eating the food of

another culture is a way of saying that you acknowledge them.

Since we all live in the same place, it’s customary to share our experiences and values. What may be Mexican culture or Native American culture comes together

to create Tucson culture.

As for Tucson Meet Yourself, the best way to experience these cultures is to attend and to try as much of the food as possible. It’s a kind gesture to show appreciation

to the people that share the same city space as we do. After all, we are one people—Tucsonans.

This weekend’s cultural fair is located in downtown Tucson at the Old Pima County Courthouse, El Presidio Park and the Pima

County Library and Jacome Plaza.

How to spend your Family Weekend

By Victoria Pereira The Daily Wildcat

Welcome your family by showing off some of the more interesting things Tucson has to offer. Here are five things for you and your family to do this weekend.

Arizona vs. Oregon State football game — If there’s one thing that really sums up UA school spirit, it’s Arizona Stadium on gameday. From the ZonaZoo representing the best student section in the nation, to the marching band and pom squad giving their all, to the football team putting its heart and soul into every second of every play. Not only will you and your family get to watch Arizona take on Oregon State, but you’ll also get to experience the exciting, adrenaline-pumping atmosphere that is created when a stadium is filled with 57,000 fans.

2nd Saturdays Downtown — Tucson is nothing without its art scene, both physical and performance, and what better way to show this to your relatives than with the 2nd Saturdays Downtown music festival.

Every second Saturday of the month, downtown Tucson transforms into a modern carnival with live music and performances throughout the night, vendors populating the streets and people from every walk of life enjoying the vibrant and artistic atmosphere.

Each week, the schedule of performances and activities changes and a program for this

The view from Mount Lemmon’s Windy Point Vista pull­off area, where visitors are able to walk out onto the rocks. The picturesque views and cooler temperatures make Mount Lemmon a place that any student and their visiting parents should take a trip up to this weekend.

Saturday’s festival can be found online at 2ndsaturdaysdowntown.com.

Tucson Meet Yourself — Because of its location and history, Tucson has been a cultural hub ever since it was first inhabited; it has been a melting pot for Native Americans, Mexicans and southbound settlers.

While the overall culture of the city has

absorbed elements of the three of these groups, each has also held onto their own customs and beliefs.

Featuring hundreds of artisans, exhibits, performances and more, this festival celebrates the traditions and beliefs behind the various groups that melded together to form the Tucson we know and love today.

visit Tucson, they’re often struck by the picturesque views of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Not nearly as many take the time to explore it, however.

Break that trend and bring your relatives up the path to Mount Lemmon—with access to a car, it is extremely easy to get up the mountain. It does take a bit of time to reach Summerhaven at the very top, but there are a number of pull-offs along the way that offer spectacular views, especially Windy Point. Don’t forget your camera for the perfect photo opportunity.

Out to eat — After spending at least a month and a half in town—or many more months for non-freshman—you’ve probably visited one or two restaurants off campus and realized that Tucson’s food game is on point.

American, Mexican, Chinese, Thai and even sushi are all available in the immediate campus area, and as you venture further from the university, the options are practically unlimited.

Share your favorite place to enjoy dinner with your family and, if you are able to, pay for your parents’ dinners. The cost of a meal might not be able to cover all the time, money and effort they spent getting you to the point of being a UA student, but it’s a good start, and they’ll surely appreciate it.

first became aware of Austrian horror film “Goodnight Mommy” (“Ich seh, Ich seh”) when a friend on Facebook tagged me in a comment, wondering if I was going to review it. The movie finds itself in the same contemporary company as “The Babadook” and “It Follows;” horror movies whose arresting trailers and hype become retweeted and shared. For “The Babadook,” William Friedkin, director of seminal horror “The Exorcist,” tweeted that he had “never seen a more terrifying film…,” while the viral blurb swirling around “Goodnight Mommy” was that two people fainted during a screening.

No other genre can elicit the unique anxietyfilled buzz of horror, where watching a trailer with friends can almost feel like a taboo experience you’re all partaking in. If a horror movie’s supposed to be good, it’s also supposed to legitimately scare you.

Much like “The Babadook,” whose trailer presented a different film than the one that was shown, so too, does “Goodnight Mommy” differ from advertisement to feature. That’s not a knock on quality.

Elias and Lukas (Elias and Lukas Schwartz), 10-year-old twins, are inseparable. Like kids that age, they explore with a fearless, innocent curiosity, roaming the lakeside woods. Even when they stumble upon a catacomb with skulls strewn about, they walk among the bones as if they were any other rocks.

Maybe grave spelunking is common among the Austrian youth, and we Americans should stop coddling our young.

Their mother (Susanne Wuest) returns home after having major cosmetic facial surgery. Her head is swathed in white bandages, leaving little other than her bruised eyes and mouth visible.

When the twins, and the audience, first see her at a distance in a dimly lit bedroom, she looks like a post-op Joker—alien and evil.

There are no jump scares; simply looking at her visage is enough to make you squirm.

To the twins, not only does she not look like their mother, but she acts nothing like her, too. Before the surgery, their mother was loving; this entity that has now taken residence in their home is severe.

Directors Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala keep the twins’ perspective front and center for the first half of the movie. The audience shares their conviction and suspicion.

Then, roughly halfway through, the filmmakers do something very curious and very effective: the perspective and sympathies start to shift.

At first, it’s just a glimpse of the bandaged mother crying alone in her room, hurt that her boys don’t trust her. Then, the bandages come off, revealing a beautiful, seemingly good-natured woman. This is the part of the film that the trailer never alludes to.

But the boys still don’t buy it and they start taking

ULRICH SEIDL FILM PRODUKTION GMBH

drastic measures. They tie down this imposter to the bed, and begin interrogating her. As interrogations tend to go, it escalates into torture.

When the boys glue their mother’s lips shut, it’s more gruesome and horrifying than the mom’s bandaged face ever was. The boys, who previously garnered our sympathy, have now transformed into the monsters.

There’s a wide shot where their mother is trying to escape the house, and she runs through the hallway under the stairs. At the top of the staircase are the twins, looking down on her. The framing makes them out to be diminutive slasher villains, stalking their prey.

It’s all building to something, and this ‘something’ is a twist in the film’s climax. The revelation caught me by total surprise, yet both of the two moviegoers I saw the film with knew it was coming.

In hindsight, there are certainly a myriad of clues; I take consolation that one of the codirector’s own mothers still doesn’t know the twist after repeat viewings.

Though foregrounding of the twist is certainly layered throughout the narrative, the reveal detracts from everything that precedes it by introducing a superfluous element to the simple premise of the changing relationship and perception between children and mother.

As our young boys transform from heroes to nightmares, “Goodnight Mommy” becomes incredibly scary and incredibly gripping. The final twist, though, opens up an unnecessary can of worms, or rather, Madagascar hissing cockroaches.

BY Emma Jackson The Daily Wildcat

In this week’s edition of “Hey, Barkeep!,” three bartenders from bars on University Boulevard share what life is like while campus is full of parents.

Lauren Galhotra from Gentle Ben’s Brewing Company: Daily Wildcat: If you could describe Family Weekend in one word, what would it be?

Galhotra: Crazy. Especially here.

What are some of the craziest things you’ve seen happen here during Family Weekend?

Parents drinking with their kids is just so funny. Like the dads would be coming back, who used to be in frats here, and they’d try to out-drink their sons, which is hilarious. Or the moms would be taking shots with their daughters. I don’t know, it’s pretty crazy.

As a bartender on University Boulevard, what differences do you see here when the campus is full of parents and siblings as opposed to normal weekends here?

It’s completely different, especially since Saturday is game day. A ton more families come in, obviously, and everyone has crazy school spirit, as opposed to a normal day when it’s just, like, random people that come in. It’s like a UA fan crowd.

Do a lot of people come in here to watch it instead of going to the game?

Yeah, I would say, too, we’re always packed on Family Weekend.

Do you think, as a bartender, you’re treated differently when students are with their parents?

Well, we get tipped better. Parents have more money to throw around than students generally do. I mean the parents usually want different drinks as opposed to kids. Like kids would be okay with an AMF, but mom or dad might want a martini or something. So in that regard, it’s different. We have to be more upscale.

Victor Republicano from Frog & Firkin: Daily Wildcat: If you could describe Family Weekend in one word what would it be?

Republicano: I would say Family Weekend is lively. I would say chaos, but chaos sounds bad.

Zi Yang Lai/The Daily Wildcat

Lauren Galhotra, bartender at Gentle Ben’s Brewing Company, prepares a drink for a customer on Wed., Oct. 7. Gentle Ben’s is located at 865 E. University Blvd.

What are some of the weirdest things you’ve seen happen during Family Weekend?

I would say it’s just kind of a cool vibe; a lot of times it’s the first time the kids are drinking with their parents, so there’s that always that initial moment of kind of figuring out what’s acceptable, or how drunk they can get, or how drunk their parents will get with them. ‘Cause for a lot of kids, it’s the first time they’ve gotten drunk with their parents. So, it’s kind of a new territory, you know? You get kids who come in here a lot who I’ve seen drink a lot, and all of a sudden, when their parents come in, so they’re drinking a lot less.

What differences do you see when the campus is full of parents and siblings, or how is it different when there are families here?

I think it’s kind of the same thing I was saying, like, parents and kids trying to figure out their limits. You go out here and just see parents taking shots with kids or dancing with kids and different parents dancing with different people.

You just see weird stuff that goes on. It’s the same stuff that happens at UA, just now parents are thrown in the mix. And there’s not really less drinking going on, just everyone trying to figure out what’s acceptable.

Do you think as a bartender you’re treated differently when the students are with their parents instead of when they’re by themselves or with friends?

Well, it’s kind of funny, you see the regulars that you see pretty quickly, like, it doesn’t surprise you when you meet

[the] parents of the kids that come in a lot, ‘cause they’re very similar typically.

In some ways, it’s easier in the sense that a lot of times it’s the parents picking up the whole tab instead of kids splitting it up, so it’s easier that way. But it’s fun, it’s always a good weekend. I think it’s one of the more fun weekends of the year. It’s not as crazy as Homecoming; it’s a little more in control. People are sitting down eating and dining, not just getting hammered, although that does happen.

Mike Defer from Auld Dubliner: Daily Wildcat: If you could describe Family Weekend in one word, what would it be?

Madness. It’s crazy. It’s a good time, but we’re really busy.

What are some of the craziest things you’ve seen happen during Family Weekend?

I’ve seen nudity; I’ve seen beer bongs in a bar. Probably the nudity thing.

Was that from a parent?

Yeah, that was a parent.

Was their kid with them?

Somewhere, I don’t know where, but yeah. Yeah, it was a mom trying to get free drinks, so it was pretty funny.

What differences do you see as a bartender on University when the campus is full of parents and siblings?

It’s just fun seeing parents act like their kids a little bit. Like, they get to party as opposed to trying to be, I guess, a role model. I don’t know, I kind of see them being friends with their kids

instead of parents. And other than that, just increased business. We get really busy during Family Weekend.

Do you think, as a bartender, you’re treated differently when students are with their parents?

Probably a little bit. They try to be more polite and show their parents that they’re more mature. But other than that, it’s not too bad. People usually treat me pretty well. I would imagine with the parents, they’re just trying to act their age.

Do you have certain students that

you remember coming in a lot, and it being different when they came in with their parents, and you were surprised at what their parents were like?

Not really. Some of the ones that we get here were regulars, and it was kind of what I expected, to be honest. You kind of see where they came from and why they act certain ways. You can kind of see, like, that totally makes sense that that’s your dad or that’s your mom.

D&D Pinball is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Herbert Avenue. There are a variety of pinball machines available for customers to use in a range of themes.

D&D Pinball gives families the chance to enjoy some friendly competition this weekend and a chance to expose the family to a local entertainment spot

BY Justice Amarillas

The Daily Wildcat

D&D Pinball is the perfect place to go to enjoy a night of friendly fun and games for just a few quarters.

Located at 331 E. Seventh St. just west of Fourth Avenue, D&D Pinball is the largest pinball arcade in Arizona and the only pinball arcade in Tucson.

The arcade opened two years ago and has since become a growing presence in Tucson’s community, dedicated to preserving the art, fun and sport of pinball.

“We’re hoping to preserve pinball in Tucson,” said co-owner Robert Noble.

“We’re slowly growing a quarter at a time.

The fact that we’re still open says a lot about Tucson and pinball.”

Noble went on to say that video games hold a huge presence, but pinball is unique.

“Pinball is just plain fun. You don’t have to be great at pinball to have a great time, and we have something for everyone,” Noble said.

The most popular machines at D&D are “Star Wars,” “Indiana Jones Pinball Adventure,” “Terminator 2: Judgement Day,” “South Park” and “The Simpsons Pinball Party,” but there are about 25 pinball machines to choose from.

Recently, there has been a new machine

added to the collection with a “Walking Dead” theme.

The arcade provides a light and fun atmosphere for families, friends.

Along with free play, D&D also hosts pinball championships every month and the state championships every February.

The arcade also provides an impromptu seating area at the front with two red couches that are perfect for a quick break.

If you and your family are looking for some cheap and local fun that’s near the university’s campus, D&D Pinball provides both.

Instead of not taking advantage of your parents’ company, support Tucson businesses along Fourth Avenue.

D&D is open from 1-8 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays, 1-10 p.m. on Thursdays, 1-11 p.m. on Fridays, and 1211 p.m. on Saturdays. The arcade is closed Mondays.

Be sure to look for the colorful, flashing machine lights, the loud, vivacious sounds of pinball and the ambient chatter of people bonding and having a great time together.

Go downtown for a bite with the family

The Daily Wildcat

The UA is celebrating one of its most exciting traditions this weekend.

During Family Weekend, it’s almost impossible to avoid the emotional, overly excited, big, bursting bubbles of love: parents. So instead of letting them sit and completely reorganize their student’s residences, families should check out all the delicious food options Tucson has to offer.

The typical three-day UA Family Weekend expedition begins with families— dressed head-to-toe in matching UA football attire—hoping for a weekend full of quality time, funny stories and memorable moments.

Although, in the midst of their busy, activity-filled schedules, families must eat.

Downtown Tucson offers the perfect place in the city for families to experience the true taste of Tucson.

For breakfast, Cafe a la C’art, located at 140 N. Main Ave., just a few miles away from the UA campus, welcomes families for a decadent, savory and sweet breakfast.

Cafe a la C’art, which has called Tucson its home for over 18 years, offers its customers breakfast options, including a local favorite, the “Arizona Omelet,” which is made with fresh chorizo, pepper

jack cheese, roasted red peppers and caramelized onions, according to the cafe, and is priced at an affordable $9.

Cafe a la C’art, known for its breakfast, also offers lunch, coffee and a happy hour menu from 4-6 p.m., with $5 appetizers and drinks ranging from $3 to $5.

If families are looking for a lunch spot to watch Saturday’s football game and cheer on the Wildcats, Hi-Fi Kitchen & Cocktails at 345 E. Congress St. is the place to be.

Hi-Fi offers its customers a fun bar and lunch setting and will feature the football game on several large flatscreen TVs. Wildcat spirit is sure to be present at HiFi while students and their families enjoy delicious sandwiches, homemade potato chips and other bar grub. Hi-Fi is located in the heart of downtown Tucson and will be one of the most exciting places to be during the weekend.

After a long day of family festivities, students and parents may be looking for a nicer place to sit down and have a meal.

Cup Cafe at Hotel Congress is the perfect choice. It is located right at the beginning of the downtown area at 311 E. Congress St., and offers customers a fine dining experience.

Cup Cafe serves creative entrees at a fairly reasonable price, including locally-known

favorites in the way of appetizers.

The restaurant’s Crispy Calamari and Smoked Ribs are just a few of mouthwatering wonders Cup Cafe has to share.

Cup Cafe hopes to create a semi-formal environment while offering customers a first-hand view into a historical downtown Tucson landmark for culture and entertainment.

Families that are looking to quench that sweet-tooth craving are sure to notice the HUB and the HUB Ice Cream Factory, also located on the downtown Tucson strip, near 266 E. Congress St. With unique ice cream flavors ranging from salted caramel all the way to peanut butter pretzel and everything in-between, this fresh, house-made ice cream will be the sweetest ending to a perfect Family Weekend.

With such a variety of options available, downtown Tucson and historical Congress Street have the perfect places for families to visit during their weekend in Tucson.

A look at the Wildcat family tree

BY Victoria Teplitz The Daily Wildcat

In order to make a wildcat, you need a daddy wildcat and a mommy wildcat. However, this is not always the case.

Wilbur and Wilma, UA mascots, were proudly married on Nov. 21, 1986, just before the Wildcats’ football team beat Arizona State University 34-17. The two wildcats then renewed their vows in 2006, according to UA News.

After 29 years of marriage, this wildcat couple could not be more proud or more wild.

The power-cat couple even danced on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” as her team pick for March Madness in 2011 , according to the University of Arizona Alumni Association.

Not many couples and especially not many cats get to dance to their school’s fight song with Ellen.

So where do Wilbur and Wilma get their genes? It turns out Wilbur and Wilma do not know who their parents are, but do consider the UA’s original mascot, the live bobcat Rufus Arizona, a grandfather.

Rufus was a live bobcat purchased by the freshman football team as a gift to the student body, according to the UA website. However, there were tragic consequences to having a live animal as a mascot. Rufus attempted gymnastics stunts while tied to a tree, which caused the bobcat to hang himself.

The university has forever remembered him.

On the UA Mall stands the “Wildcat Family” statue, which shows four wildcats—two bobcats and two cubs.

The statue was built in 2004 in tribute to Peter and Pat Likins.

Dr. Peter Likins was the 18th UA president and is known for leading the university during financial struggles, raising $1.2 billion, according to the UA website for the executive office of the president.

Peter and his wife Pat raised a family of six adopted children, according to the webpage for Peter Likins’ autobiography.

The “Wildcat Family” statue gives a sense of families coming together, just as Likins had brought a lasting togetherness to the university .

But unlike what the “Wildcat Family” statue depicts, there do not seem to be any kitten mascots in the couple’s future, or at least not right meow.

Yet, it seems the two have their paws full of cheering for their student Wildcats.

“We have a lot of fun being married,” Wilbur and Wilma said.

“Though, with our constant full-time student schedules, appearing at local and statewide events and appearing at games, there’s lots of travel to support our Wildcats. Our schedules are pretty tight and we are pretty content where we are right now in life.”

This weekend, as with most of their weekends, will hold a busy schedule for Wilbur and Wilma.

“We will be hanging out with our UA cheerleading family doing several event appearances on campus and celebrating at the Bear Down Friday pep rally Friday night,” Wilbur and Wilma said.

The two will start their Saturday morning by preparing for the football team’s arrival at the Wildcat Walk, followed by hyping up the fans, students and families at the tailgate. The couple will then head into Arizona Stadium for the game against Oregon State, according to Wilbur and Wilma.

“Growing up in the Wildcat family is amazing,” the couple said. “We are filled with pride and enjoy being part of this amazing university. It’s a lot of responsibility being the face of the [UA] but we welcome it with open paws.”

Wilbur and Wilma had this shoutout for all the families coming to campus this weekend: “Welcome to Wildcat Country. I hope you enjoy your time here on our beautiful campus, and we are looking forward to seeing you at all the festivities and on game day. Go ‘Cats.”

The reason UA got its mascot was because a reporter from the Los Angeles Times described the football team’s performance as one that “showed the fight of wildcats” in the 1914 Arizona versus Occidental game.

As a team and as a family, the Wildcats have always stuck together, spirited and fierce. That is exactly what has been passed down through Wildcat generations to Wilbur and Wilma. It’s as if spirit is inheritable at the UA; it is what UA mascots present to all their fellow Wildcats.

Families cheer you on to follow your dreams; college is simply a way to access those dreams.

On some gamedays, the crowd may not seem as spirited as usual, but with a kiss from Wilma and a thumbs-up from Wilbur, ZonaZoo goes wild.

Arizona’s Kalei Mau (10) spikes against Oregon in McKale Center during the Wildcats’ sweep of Oregon on Sunday, Sept. 27. The Wildcats play Washington State this weekend.

UA preps for Wazzu after loss

BY Ivan Leonard The Daily Wildcat

Arizona volleyball continued its gauntlet of a schedule as the No. 14 Wildcats took on No. 6 Washington in Seattle on Wednesday and came away empty-handed.

The Huskies won in four sets to bring their record to 14-1 on the season with their lone loss coming to top-ranked USC. Arizona came out with guns blazing in the first set (25-17), before losing two straight hard-fought sets (22-25, 25-27).

The Wildcats made a few runs in the fourth set, but ultimately fell (17-25) to bring their record to 12-5 on the season.

Kalei Mau led the Wildcats’ attack with 23 kills. Penina Snuka tallied her fourth straight double-double with 46 assists and

13 digs to go along with two kills and two aces.

After starting the season 8-0, the Wildcats have alternated between wins and losses in their last nine matchups and a win Friday in Pullman, Washington, would only extend that trend.

With the loss to Washington, Arizona is now 0-6 to the top nine teams in the country and 12-0 against teams ranked outside of the top nine.

The Wildcats will have plenty of other opportunities to prove their mettle, however, as the Pac-12 Conference has four teams ranked in the top seven and five in the top 12.

The Wildcats continue their two-week road trip as they travel to Pullman today to face Washington State, a team benefitting

from five days of rest.

The Wildcats swept the Cougars last season as they won 3-1 at home and 3-2 on the road and, historically, the Wildcats have dominated this matchup with a 6315 all-time record including the last four games between the two.

While the Cougars are unranked, they are a more than formidable opponent as they come into the match 12-4 on the season.

All of their conference losses came to top12 teams in USC, Washington and UCLA, so Arizona cannot afford to overlook them.

The Wildcats’ balanced attack will be key for them as they lead the conference in digs with 16.39, while not placing any individual in the top 10. They also rank second in assists, due in part, to Snuka’s conference-high of 11.26 per set. Snuka

also ranks second overall in kills where Mau ranks third in the conference with 4.64 kills per set.

The Cougars are led by junior outsidehitter Kyra Holt, who is fourth in the conference in kills and third in total points per set. Haley Macdonald is also more than competent as a setter as she sits at third in the conference in assists at 10.56 per set.

The Wildcats will not return to Tucson until October 23 when Colorado comes to town, but all games will be broadcasted on Pac-12 Networks.

Arizona’s matchup with Washington State will begin tonight at 6 p.m.

fter two straight blowout losses, Arizona is looking for a spark to salvage what is left in its schedule. With Oregon State in town this weekend, the Wildcats have a chance to get back on the winning track.

Arizona was without quarterback Anu Solomon last week against Stanford because of a head injury he sustained against UCLA. While Solomon had a tough game against the Bruins, he is the better option at quarterback whenever he is available. Arizona’s offense is full of playmakers and Solomon under center will help put the Wildcats back into the win column Saturday afternoon.

Solomon’s return to the field would be a huge boost for a team that has suffered too many injuries to count this season.

Think about it. The offense could regain its

rizona quarterback Anu Solomon is still listed as day-to-day, but he has been practicing this week in preparation for Oregon State and will attempt to revive the Wildcats after their two-game skid to open Pac12 Conference play.

This is bad news for Wildcat fans and even worse for Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez.

Solomon is returning from a concussion he suffered against UCLA after sliding and taking a blow to the back of the head from a flying knee.

Dizziness, migraines and sensitivity to light are all symptoms of a concussion.

Arizona is playing an afternoon game in which the sun will be out and dehydration will be a strong factor.

Scooby Wright III 2.0. Even though the Wildcats are eager for their sophomore leader to stand behind center, the risk of Solomon taking another shot to the head and leaving the game is at an all-time high.

For the sake of argument, let’s say Solomon is completely healthy and starts Saturday; Arizona is still trying to grease the wheels from the previous two games.

The offense might take until the third quarter to find its groove, but increasing the pass game will take away from Nick Wilson’s production.

Wilson, at this point in the season, is the center point of this offense with six touchdowns, which is a team high excluding quarterbacks.

Utilizing Solomon only spells trouble for Arizona on Saturday, and against a rebuilding Oregon State squad, the Beavers will enter this week’s matchup with a chip on their shoulder.

Boy, would they love to put a bigger stain to Arizona’s season and completely eliminate the Wildcats from traveling to Levi’s Stadium.

flow if the sophomore leader returns. Don’t get me wrong, Jerrard Randall has been one of the most exciting players on the team with his speed and big-play ability, but Solomon is a more accurate passer and game-ready quarterback.

Arizona’s offense was one dimensional against Stanford. The team tried to run a lot because Randall overthrew a lot of receivers.

Solomon’s game opens the playbook and the Wildcats offense become a potent threat again.

Not to mention the help it gives running back Nick Wilson. Wilson’s play took a hit when Solomon wasn’t under center to take the pressure off of him, as he ran for only 46 yards on 17 carries against Stanford. In games Solomon played, Wilson averaged 139.75 yards per game.

The Wildcats are 3-0 in games that Solomon has started and played the majority of. In games he has missed time, Arizona is 0-2.

Wildcats host final meet of season

BY HUNTER MCADAMS The Daily Wildcat

Arizona cross-country runner Addi Zerrenner was very familiar with running on the beaches back home in Santa Barbara, Calif., at any time of the day.

She knew this was something she would have to give up when choosing to attend the UA. She also quickly found out she would need to give up sleep if she were to excel as a collegiate runner in Arizona.

Zerrenner’s day usually begins around 4:45 a.m. She gets up, grabs a bite to eat and bikes two miles to McKale Center to see where she and her teammates will be running that morning.

While Zerrenner’s morning jogs no longer include views of the Southern California coastline, she appreciates the sights of the Sonoran Desert.

“I love running in the desert and seeing the animals that we don’t have in California,” Zerrenner said.

She also loves that Tucson is a college town and said she constantly receives praise from people when she wears her UA attire in grocery

shops in town.

Some may have thought that Addi Zerrenner was destined to be a runner, as Zerrenner translates to “the runner” in German. Surprisingly enough, she thought her calling was soccer.

“I never felt that running was in my blood,” Zerrenner said.

Zerrenner was always one of the fastest players on the field throughout the years she played soccer; her coaches would notice her uncommon speed.

By her freshmen year of high school, Zerrenner quit soccer to focus more of her time on crosscountry.

She was voted MVP her sophomore, junior and senior years at Dos Puebelos High School in Goleta, Calif. Zerrenner was also a two-time Santa Barbara CrossCountry Athlete of the Year.

Zerrenner initially planned on going to the University of Oregon for the school’s rich culture and success in track and field. During her recruiting visits to different schools, she never had that feeling of the perfect fit until she visited the UA. Zerrenner said she knew she

wanted to attend Arizona when she realized the faculty and staff cared about her more as a person than a runner.

Another big factor was that Arizona’s women’s cross-country team had just placed second nationally the year before in 2013.

Zerrenner is now making a name for herself at the UA, as she has been the top women’s finisher for the Wildcats in every race thus far.

Zerrenner said she tries not to set major goals for herself, but rather sets “silly goals.” One of these silly goals is to simply finish the race.

So far, she’s accomplished more than that.

Zerrenner has the team’s top times in the 2.6-mile, 3-mile and 6-kilometer events. She finished second in the 3-mile race at the George Kyte Classic with a time of 15:11.9.

Now she would like to see both herself and her team improve as the season enters the more competitive stretch.

One of those not-so-silly goals is for the Wildcats’ cross-country squad to qualify for nationals this year— something very possible with UA’s

well-rounded team. “[We] never know who is going to be the first girl on any given day that [we] race,” Zerrenner said.

As the season progresses, she expects both the men’s and women’s teams to surprise people with high finishes.

The next chance for the teams to mark their improvement is at this Friday’s home meet, the U of A Open, which will be held at Quincie

Douglas Park.

The men’s race begins at 3:50 p.m., and the women’s race is set to start at 4:20 p.m.

“We have been training at a super high level,” Zerrenner said, “and our finishes haven’t been reflecting that.”

No. 15 Arizona heads to So-Cal

BY Ryan Kelapire

The Daily Wildcat

After splitting games with the Bay Area schools, No. 15 Arizona (8-2-1, 2-1) will head to Southern California this weekend to take on UCLA and USC. “It’s tough,” Arizona head coach Tony Amato said of the upcoming trip. “Traditionally, those are two of the better teams in the [Pac-12 Conference] and we’re going on the road.”

The Bruins, as Amato noted, are typically one of the best teams in the Pac-12 Conference. They went 21-1-2 last season and won the Pac12 with a 10-0-1 conference record.

Two seasons ago, they were NCAA Champions.

However, they have had a down year so far this season and are currently 5-6 overall and 1-2 in conference play. They beat Oregon 1-0 at home in their Pac-12 opener, but then were swept by the Washington schools last weekend.

UCLA’s soccer program has never had a losing season—or won fewer than 10 games—but this year’s team could be the first do so.

A major reason is the Bruins have not been strong on either side of the ball.

Last year, their offense led the Pac-12 in goals (68) and was second in shots taken (451). This season, however, the Bruins are second to last in the conference in shots and have scored just 13 goals in 11 games, which is the third worst mark in the Pac-12.

Teams have struggled to score against Arizona this season as the Wildcats have only given up seven goals, tied for the lead in the conference. So the Bruins may have a hard time scoring in this game.

UCLA’s defense has significantly regressed from a season ago as well. The Bruins gave up only six goals in the entire 2014 season, while recording 19 shutouts, but they’ve already given up 16 goals this season, which is tied for the most in the conference. Arizona is second in the conference in goals scored (21), so look for the Wildcats to take advantage of UCLA’s porous defense.

That game will kick off at 7 p.m. tonight.

The Wildcats will face USC (74-1, 2-1) after UCLA. The Trojans received five votes in the latest NSCAA National Poll, which puts them right outside the top 25.

USC is comparable to Arizona; it creates a lot of shots and does a

good job of keeping opponents off the scoreboard. The Trojans are third in the conference in shots taken (194) and have allowed only eight goals.

While USC’s offense does manufacture plenty of shots, it has had trouble getting them into the

net. The Trojans are just ninth in the conference in goals with 14. They did manage to score three goals in their lone matchup against Arizona last season, however.

The matchup with USC will start Sunday at 3:30 p.m., and can be seen on the Pac-12 Networks.

Arizona is set up for another tough weekend, which is a common theme in the deep Pac-12. USC is nearly a top-25 team and while UCLA hasn’t been as good as it normally is, the Bruins still pose an extremely dangerous threat.

“It’s another challenge that we’re

going to have to embrace and pour the effort in just like we did [last] weekend, or we won’t get results,” Amato said.

‘Cats seek redemption after losses TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA QUARTERBACK Anu Solomon (12) runs the ball against UCLA on Saturday, Sept. 26, at Arizona Stadium.

BY KYLE HANSEN

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football will look to get back on track this weekend when Oregon State comes to Tucson Saturday afternoon.

The Wildcats are currently riding a two-game losing streak with blowout losses to UCLA and Stanford. After going 3-0 in nonconference play, the Wildcats will look for their first conference victory of the season against the Beavers.

It has been a rough stretch for Arizona the past couple of weeks.

After all of the hype of ESPN’s College GameDay two weeks ago, UCLA handed the Wildcats their first loss of the season. Arizona also lost quarterback Anu Solomon and linebacker Scooby Wright III— again—to injuries. The Wildcats

were beaten even worse last weekend at Stanford with backup quarterback Jerrard Randall at the helm.

“They’ve been miserable,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said of the past two weeks.

The biggest liability for the Wildcats has been their defense.

According to ESPN, Arizona’s defense ranks No. 116 in total yards allowed out of 128 possible teams. The defense is 107th in points allowed per game.

The biggest issues facing the defense have been tackling and pressuring the quarterback.

Failing to wrap up opposing runners doomed the Wildcats against UCLA running back Paul Perkins. Failing to pressure the quarterback allowed UCLA’s Josh Rosen and Stanford’s Kevin Hogan to combine on 36 for 47 passing

attempts, 501 yards and four touchdowns.

In short, the defense has been picked apart.

“We’ve got to find a way to make it happen,” Rodriguez said.

Coming off a bye week, Oregon State heads into Saturday’s game 2-2 and 0-1 in Pac-12 Conference play. The Beavers suffered an early loss to Michigan and have lost to Stanford as well. The last time Arizona and Oregon State met was in 2012 when the Beavers defeated the Wildcats 38-35 in Tucson.

Quarterback Seth Collins will be looking for his first Pac-12 victory of his young career. Collins is a mobile quarterback who could wreak havoc for an injury-depleted Wildcat defense. Collins went 2036 with 275 yards a score in the loss to Stanford. Meanwhile, backup quartberack Jerrard Randall went

15-28 with 178 yards and a score for the Wildcats last week.

Both Solomon (concussion) and Randall (hamstring) are listed as questionable on Thursday’s injury report.

Cornerback DaVonte’ Neal (hamstring) and linebacker Jeff Worthy (concussion) are also questionable.

Receiver Tyrell Johnson (foot) is listed as probable for the game.

Johnson has missed the first five games of the season with a foot injury.

Star linebacker Scooby Wright III will miss his fourth game of the season (foot) while linebacker Haden Gregory (knee), receiver Trey Griffey (foot) and linebacker Derrick Turituri (hip) will also sit out Saturday’s game.

As for now, the Wildcats will be looking to right their ship after these early disappointments. Coach

Rodriguez understands changes must be made quickly during the course of a college football season.

“The regular season in college football is so much different than anything else,” Rodriguez said. “Without any preseason or scrimmage games to judge by, you don’t have time to work out your kinks or find out things. If you’re not playing well, or whatever the case may be, you’ve got to find that solution.”

As for now, the Wildcats are stuck in that awkward position of finding those solutions mid-season.

Kickoff for Oregon State and Arizona will be at 1 p.m., Saturday at Arizona Stadium.
