Spanish classes make splash in health sciences

BY ALEX GONZALEZ @AlxandrGonzalez

Students at the UA pursuing degrees in the health sciences may now register for Spanish-language courses that will be offered in spring of 2017.

The courses have been tailored to provide students the Spanish skills they need within their health profession careers.

The UA’s Spanish and Portuguese department, alongside the UA Health Sciences-Hispanic Center of Excellence, saw the need for these unique classes that would benefit both the students who aspire to be future health care professionals and the community at large.

Dr. Francisco Moreno, physician and director of the UAHS-HCOE, said that the mission is to “improve the health of the Hispanic population locally and abroad.”

The UAHS-HCOE believes that health providers that have studied Spanish linguistics and who are culturally conscious individuals will be capable of better understanding and helping the Hispanic population, according to Moreno.

Moreno explained that other Spanish programs are available because of the efforts of the UAHS-HCOE in facilitating the interaction amongst different colleges at the UA. The UAHS-HCOE has partnered with Global MedCats to provide students with the opportunity to study abroad in Spanishspeaking countries.

These programs not only immerse students in Spanish-speaking communities within Costa Rica and Spain, but they also include clinical shadowing hours— something Moreno realizes is highly soughtafter by pre-health students.

“I truly believe it’s a major asset for those who have an interest in the health professions,” Moreno said, “to be able to speak a language so commonly spoken by individuals that have limited English

Malcolm Alan Compitello, professor and department head for the UA Spanish and Portuguese Department, stated that these specialized Spanish classes are going to be similar to the existing beginning and intermediate 100 and 200-level Spanish courses with health science content integrated in to the curriculum.

5

Football head coach Rich Rodriguez is the highest-paid UA employee, raking in $2,375,000.

Out of the top-100, 86 are affiliated with medicine, five are in athletics and the remaining nine are some sort of dean, variation of vice president or associated with the office of the president.

Basketball head coach Sean Miller is just shy of that mark in second, making $2,100,000 per year.

Hurricane history from tree rings and shipwrecks

BY WILLIAM ROCKWELL @DailyWildcat

Valerie Trouet, associate professor of dendrochronology in the Laboratory of TreeRing Research, has led a multi-institution team to show that a period in the late 17th to early 18th centuries experienced the lowest number of hurricanes in the last 600 years.

Using a combination of tree ring information and Spanish shipwreck data, Trouet and her team were able to not only show the dip in hurricane activity, but also propose reasons for why it occurred.

Tree ring data can give extensive information about the tree’s environment, including climate, weather patterns, forest fires and insect impacts. Each tree ring represents a year of growth in the history of the tree, which are impacted by climate and conditions. Wider rings indicate greater growth, whereas narrow rings indicate little growth.

Hurricanes have profound impacts on trees, as images from recent storms have shown.

“We’ve only been looking at storms with instruments since about 1850,” Trouet said.

“So, we needed something else [to look farther back], and that’s where the tree rings come in.”

Pine trees that aren’t killed by hurricanes have their needles torn off, inhibiting photosynthesis. In addition, surviving trees close to the ocean get flooded with salt water, drying them out.

There are some sturdy trees that have survived in the Caribbean since the 1700s, and what trees like that show is that hurricane activity was at an all-time low around that period.

Trouet described hurricane influence on tree rings as “a very distinct, abrupt change in the width of the tree rings.” The intensity of hurricanes means that Trouet and her team were able to distinguish between hurricanes and common storms.

Tree ring data provides part of the picture, but Trouet needed more information to back it up and create a better portrait of what the climate was like 500 years ago.

Shipwreck data was able to fill the gap.

The Spanish were very busy in the

Caribbean in the 1700s. Shipping records from the period include data on vessels coming and going, as well as those lost at sea. As a result, there is now a full archive of Spanish ships destroyed in the Caribbean.

Focusing only on ships destroyed in storms and hurricanes, the data corroborates what was found in the tree ring research: A dip in hurricane activity. But why?

In the years between 1645-1715, the globe experienced what was called the

Maunder Minimum. At the time, the sun was experiencing less sunspot activity, indicating less solar radiation. Combine this with the Little Ice Age—a time between 1500 and 1850 when overall temperatures were lower than previous and lower than they are today.

Hurricanes require specific circumstances to form, and this includes ocean temperature.

Lower temperatures mean lower energy, and lower energy means fewer hurricanes.

Between these factors, the cold shift dropped

hurricane activity by about 75 percent between 1645-1715.

“The way that we are looking at how hurricane activity will change in the future with global warming is through models,” Trouet said.

With global warming on the rise, that could mean there may be a rise in hurricane activity.

By broadening the span of climate and hurricane records, Trouet said that “our data will improve the models that are used to project what’s going to happen in the future.”

POLICE BEAT

BY MEGAN JACOBY @DailyWildcat

Don’t run the red light UAPD officers were conducting a traffic stop at Campbell Avenue and Hawthorne Street on Oct. 12 because a white GMC van ran a red light.

Before the officers could exit their vehicle, the driver of the van got out of his car and attempted to walk towards them.

The officer then told the driver to get back in his vehicle, to which the driver complied.

Once the officer was able to safely approach the vehicle, a strong odor of marijuana emitted from the car. When asked if the driver had any marijuana in the vehicle, the driver denied that there was.

The driver was then instructed to give the UAPD officer his license, registration and insurance and to sit on the curb.

When being asked a second time if there was anything illegal in the vehicle the driver stated that he had “weed.”

The driver stated that the weed was in the center console, and upon further inspection, the officer found weed and a glass pipe. These were the only illegal objects in the vehicle.

The driver was then read his rights, and arrested for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The driver also received a citation for running the red light.

Not so sneaky A UAPD officer responded to a call in reference to a male sitting in a courtyard consuming a bottle of alcohol on Oct. 12.

The subject was identified visually because he already had an active exclusionary order with UAPD. When approached by the officer, the subject immediately drank the rest of the bottle that he was holding. The alcohol was a pint of Fleischmann’s Vodka.

When trying to receive some general information from the subject, the officer’s struggled because he was unresponsive.

The man was extremely drunk with blood shot eyes, slurred speech and poor coordination and needed medical attention.

Once the medical team arrived, it was concluded that the man be taken to Banner University Medical Center. The nurse taking care of the man told officers that he would not be responsive for at least four hours.

Upon return to the hospital, the officer attempted to give the man a citation, to which he argued was wrong and that he was nowhere near the UA campus the previous night.

The officer wrote him a citation anyway, which the man promptly crumpled up and placed onto his hospital bed.

successfully doing. Garst said that six months after the app’s launch, it had reached about 50 percent of the market with over 100,000 users at 450 campuses across the country with around 6,000 different chapters.

“Ultimately what it means for the future of oneGreek is that it is going to continue living on,” Garst said. “And under new management it will see changes to the application with hopefully exciting and new features and additional offerings with ways for Greeks to connect that larger social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat just don’t have the capacity to create.”

Although oneGreek was the brainchild of Garst and Glatting, they had help along the way. Brayden Jackson, a management information systems junior, joined the team in the beginning as one of 10 campus representatives for oneGreek. At the time, the idea of oneGreek was to be a Tinderlike recruitment platform, a concept that ultimately failed when Garst and Glatting released it in January of 2015.

Jackson, a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, stuck with the company until its successful re-launch 10 months later.

“I am extremely excited and proud of how far oneGreek has come and am so excited to see where it goes from here,” Jackson

said. “After being acquired by a reputable company such as GroupThreads, their success will only continue to grow. I know these two companies will work together to further revolutionize Greek life and bring it to the digital age.”

Sela Britton, a pre-business sophomore and member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, began interning with Garst and Glatting in August 2015. She helped them collaborate with different design ideas and marketing strategies and helped recruit ambassadors on different campuses across the country.

“I’m so happy about the app’s recent acquisition,” Britton said. “Sam and Gavin started oneGreek from scratch almost entirely by themselves. Hundreds of thousands of [Greek members] were on the app in the first week of launch.”

Garst and Glatting no longer have any stake in the app since its sale other than as advisors. But Garst said he’s excited to see the name oneGreek live on, and said he hopes that it continues to provide relevance to the Greek community.

The evolution of oneGreek, from its earliest stage as just an idea in 2012 to its sale in 2016, has inspired both Garst and Glatting to pursue more ventures in the future.

“I think it’s a great story just to people that are aspiring entrepreneurs and want to build something that’s really possible,” Garst said.

“You can fail plenty of times. You just got to keep moving and keep testing and figure out where the right path is and eventually you will succeed.”

If Clinton wins, foundation must be closed Clinton's campaign has faced plenty of scandals, but the Orange County Register says the Clinton Foundation is one that won't go away

BY ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER EDITORIAL BOARD

W

hen Bill Clinton announced in August that the Clinton Foundation will no longer accept foreign or corporate donations if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency, it was at least the third set of ethics rules that the postpresidential, pre-presidential charity has adopted to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest.

At the time Hillary Clinton was nominated to be secretary of state, the foundation was required to seek the approval of the State Department before accepting donations from foreign governments.

When she launched her presidential campaign, the foundation was limited in what it could accept from foreign governments, but donations from individuals and corporations were accepted.

The ethics policy announced by the former president in August would have barred the contributions of 53 percent of the donors who gave $1 million or more to the Clinton Foundation, according to an analysis by The Washington Post.

That list includes the government of Saudi Arabia, ExxonMobil and Barclay's, a British bank.

By now it's clear that a foundation tied to a government official cannot avoid the appearance of conflict of interest, even when ethics rules are followed, which may not always have been the case.

In 2012, while Clinton was secretary of state, a senior official of the foundation emailed associates that the U.S. ambassador from the Gulf state of Qatar had asked to see Bill Clinton "for five minutes" in New York to present him with a $1 million check that Qatar had promised for the former president's birthday in 2011, according to a hacked email from the account of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign chairman, released

by WikiLeaks.

The State Department says it did not receive a request to approve a donation from Qatar in 2012, and the foundation

NATE BEELER, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

says approval was not needed under an exception to the Clintons' 2008 ethics agreement. President Clinton's spokesman would not say whether the former president met with the ambassador, and Hillary Clinton's campaign refused to confirm or deny the authenticity of the email.

It doesn't inspire confidence.

Neither does the disclosure that a State Department employee checked with the foundation to see whether companies

seeking contracts to help in the 2010 earthquake recovery effort in Haiti were "friends" of Bill Clinton or "WJC VIPs." Regardless of any new ethics restrictions imposed on the activities of the Clinton Foundation if Hillary Clinton becomes president, hundreds of millions of dollars already have been donated by individuals, companies and governments that have an interest in the direction of U.S. policy under the next administration. The appearance of conflict of interest hangs in the air.

As bad as that is, it would be worse if members of Clinton's family continued to solicit enormous sums for the foundation from people who may be seeking access or influence in a Clinton administration.

If Hillary Clinton wins on Nov. 8, the first action she takes as president elect should be the dissolution of the Clinton Foundation. Its charitable work should be taken over by an organization that doesn't have a satellite office in the West Wing.

It's OK to be self-centered in college B

eing self-centered in college is nothing new. College makes us focus on ourselves, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but students should be careful to remember that the world doesn’t revolve around them.

All college students are a bit selfcentered and demanding. We freak out when things don’t happen our way. We forget life doesn’t revolve around us.

I’ve witnessed first-hand the firstworld problems that we break under as college students. We know that the world is going crazy, that people are dying, but we can’t focus on that. We have homework! The immediacies of school fill up our minds, which is what we’re told is supposed to be.

I’m not saying college makes you a bad person. Not at all. College is a great way to meet people and educate

“

This is what college wants us to do It doesn’t want students to party and skip out on class. It wants us to solely focus on the immediacy of our class schedule. We need to always be prepared for everything coming our way, and we’re made to feel bad when we sometimes are not prepared, or we are going through other things that might take up our time.

Is this good? Is getting an “A” really all that important? It seems like it.

Actually, at times, it seems like acing the class is more important than actually learning the subject.

What does this do to us once we graduate? Will we even know anything other than how to take exams and get good grades?

Do we have to be self-centered to succeed in society?

Unfortunately, I think so. College is helping us understand the reality that, if we were to focus on everything that can be relevant or going on in our lives all at once, we wouldn’t be able to handle it. College is teaching us to focus on one thing at a time.

We’re learning how to place priority on deadlines. We’re learning how to take commands without batting an eye. We’re learning how to master our tunnel vision. College is teaching us to get jobs and listen to others simply by slipping into a focused drive with a singular motive. In college, our one motive is graduation.

In life, it’s survival. College is preparing us for success in a our corrupted, flawed society. It’s not that we’re becoming worse people—we’re just becoming more focused people.

Halloween, among other largely commercialized holidays, is an opportunity for rampant wastefulness.

Candies get packaged into smaller, individual packages, using more plastic for each piece. People purchase costumes, use them once and either stuff them away for eternity or throw them into the trash.

Pumpkins are often picked, carved and neglected until someone comes to smash them.

“Most of our holidays have really become hyper-commercialized, consumeristic affairs," said Ben Champion, director of the UA's Office of Sustainability. "They are things that are based upon accentuating our consumption.

Our consumer behaviors are a huge driver of a lot of environmental challenges.”

Champion said living in a sustainable manner is about being conscious of your life and the impacts your decisions have.

“Sustainability at its heart is all about our long-term societal future, so we have to figure out ways of working and playing that are more in tune to what the needs of each other are, as well as the natural world," Champion said.

"That includes all of our holidays. What are the things that you do for your holiday? That becomes the question.”

Holidays are a time to enjoy life and tradition with family and friends. With a little creativity and foresight, you can lower the impact your holiday practices have on the environment.

Here are five tricks for treating the planet during Halloween:

1

Wear recycled or hand-made costumes Costumes are a huge part of Halloween tradition. In college, students often participate in Halloweek, wearing multiple costumes in the days leading up to Halloween.

Many store-bought costumes are created from materials such as cheap vinyl, which is produced using toxic methods that contribute significant amounts of pollution.

Try getting creative and pulling together a costume using old clothes you don’t really use anymore. Thrift stores are a popular way to find items for creating or completing a costume.

If you are planning to be a “sexy” anything for Halloween, help lower your environmental impact by making sure the few clothes you wear are being repurposed, and don’t throw them out on Nov. 1.

2

DIY decorations If you are getting bored with the same decorations every year, try making your own. Getting crafty and creating new decorations to share with friends is a much more sustainable practice than buying new decorations each year.

Don’t fear creativity—think about what

is really scary to you, and make it art. Try cutting out and hanging words from colored paper that scare you, such as ‘climate change’ or perhaps your least favorite presidential candidate’s name.

You could even fold up your collection of parking citations and hang them from the ceiling as a spooky warning to your friends.

3

Use the whole pumpkin Pumpkins are perhaps the largest staple of American Halloween tradition.

According to the U.S. Census, 40,900 acres of pumpkins were harvested in the U.S. in 2015.

To avoid wasting most of the pumpkin by only carving it, try cooking up some delicious Halloween treats.

Try finding pumpkin puree recipes and creating bread, cookies or pies—pumpkin flesh can also be used in soups, casseroles and even smoothies. If the pumpkin you carved becomes inedible, compost it rather than throwing it away.

If you forgot to plant pumpkin seeds last year, try to get your pumpkins from local farms. Not only will you stimulate local economies, you will be cutting down on

emissions-related pollution resulting from the transportation of pumpkins.

4

Quintessential candy Candy is another aspect of Halloween that is crucial, yet potentially very harmful for the planet.

There are other personal health concerns involved with the yearly ritual of arming America’s youth with weapons of mass confection, however.

Try to consider the health of the environment as well.

Try purchasing Fair Trade chocolate products. Most of the world’s cocoa is produced in a very small area around the equator and often in areas of conflict.

Fair Trade labels on chocolate products indicate that the cocoa was produced in accordance with more ethical and environmental standards.

If you participate in trick or treating, try creating your own candy-carrying apparatus this year.

Pillow cases are easily decorated and voluminous enough for maximum sugar capacity.

5

Tricky transportation When going to parties or the bars downtown for Halloween, try public transit.

Taking the streetcar or bus in Tucson can actually be pretty fun during Halloween.

Many riders will also have costumes on, and it’s a great way to make plans while cutting down on CO2 emissions.

If your Supergirl cape won’t get caught up in the spokes, opt to bike for transportation during Halloween.

If you absolutely plan on driving, try to carpool with friends.

“Many of our holiday activities are really kind of celebrating aspects of our culture that are not so great," Champion said. "But they are the things that kind of energize us and connect us to family and connect us to friends. We need to have fun and celebrate the holidays.”

So try not to spook the planet too much during Halloween this year.

Avoiding wastefulness during holidays is much easier than you may think.

What to expect when trekking on one of Tucson’s hiking trails

BY SARAH BRIGGS @SarahBriggs11

Renowned for its beautiful hiking trails, Tucson’s wildlife caters to even the most hardcore of nature junkies.

While the trails range from flat, easy hikes to risky, off-the-beaten-path adventures, many hikers don’t know what to expect before they set off to trek the Tucson trails.

“I am a nature lover, and to observe and share aspects of the trails and plant life in Tucson with people is amazing,” said Heidi Schewel, a UA alumna who now works for the U.S. Forest Service.

Schewel works for the Coronado National Forest Service here in Tucson.

Schewel said that throughout Tucson trails, hikers can expect to witness an active variety of

ecosystems.

“If people are hiking at lower elevation, they will experience plants that are used to arid weather, such as mesquite trees and brittle bush,” she said.

When hiking Mt. Lemmon, Schewel said that hikers will witness a shrub increase with rising elevation up the mountain, as well as experience plant life such as Douglas fir, New Mexico locusts and Rocky Mountain maple trees. Tanque Verde Falls on Tucson's east side offers similar plant diversity.

“When I hiked Tanque Verde Falls, I saw some yucca, saguaro cactus and some agave plants,” said Noah Steinberger, an information science and eSociety senior.

Schewel said that at this time of year, color changes are very widespread among the plant life on Tucson's copious hiking trails.

“Jumping cholla are really prevalent on

Tucson hikes,” said psychology senior and avid hiker Michael Burstein. “Every time I hike, I have to watch out for them because they are everywhere.”

As for animals, Schewel said that hikers can find a variety of species.

Schewel explained that at lower elevations, rabbits and reptiles are still active on trails. But as it warms up, hikers should expect to see more snakes, mourning doves and woodpeckers, as well was a number of migrating birds.

“I’ve seen many hawks and small critters,” Steinberger said. “I have also seen a few rattlesnakes.”

Desert creatures are not a rare sight to see on the Tucson local trails—many of the animals are essential to the ecosystems of the Sonoran Desert, which allows for hikers to feel completely are TUCSON HIKES, 12

Residents get real about UA student housing Entrada Real

BY TAYLOR BRESTEL @taylorbrestel

After freshman year, most students aren’t excited to move back into the dorms.

One year of annoying roommates, filthy bathrooms and RAs lurking around every corner is enough for most of us.

The next logical step, usually, is to rent an apartment or house off-campus with some friends.

Be cautious before choosing, though.

Here are a few reviews of some student apartment complexes from real UA students to help give you insight into where and where not live next year.

Entrada Real is one place many UA students live, with two complexes located north and east of campus. Its website calls the complex “comfortably modern" and "refreshingly affordable,” even though the complex's cheapest rent is $564/month per person.

Bruna Messeder, a preeducation sophomore, has lived at Entrada Real since the beginning of this school year, and she

said she’s enjoyed her experience there.

“It’s been great so far,” she said. “The apartments are pretty spacious, and the bedrooms are big.”

Messeder also said Entrada is a walkable distance from campus, being less than a mile away, although she said the walking gets annoying time after time.

“If there’s any problem, [maintenance] fix[es] it within 24 hours,” she said.

THE RANCH AT STAR Pass located on South Shannon Road. The Ranch sits on the other side of Interstate 10 but offers shuttles to and from campus.

THE DISTRICT ON 5TH is located on the corner of Fifth Street and Fifth Avenue. The District is a popular student apartment complex and is close to the SunLink streetcar line.

The Ranch at Star Pass is located near Pima Community College’s west campus, but offers free shuttles to the UA campus regularly. The website calls it “classic, comfortable and captivating,” and the cheapest rent is only $359/month per person.

Kali Guzman, a psychology junior, has lived at The Ranch since August.

In the beginning, she didn’t have any problems. But one of her roommates discovered a cockroach in her bed, and they have been cleaning daily ever since.

But something worse happened than a bug in a bed.

“Someone came into our apartment," Guzman said. "The door was locked. It is not okay for someone to just walk in and

The District on 5th is located downtown right next to the SunLink streetcar route.

The website says it’s “off-campus housing tailored to you” and offers several different floor plans and leases, the cheapest being $699/month per person.

Anna Tealdi, a junior majoring in nutrition, has lived at The District since August.

“It’s pretty good,” she said. “It’s a little noisy in the hallway area, but I like the study room. There’s free printing if you bring your own paper, so that’s a plus.”

Tealdi said one time she found a unconscious man inside the District

Someone had entered her apartment on a Saturday morning to drop off a form about renewing the lease. Guzman and her roommates contacted management to let them know, and it took them several weeks to get in contact with the manager.

Guzman also said someone broke the gate at the entrance of the complex, and management has yet to fix it.

“It’s not okay for them to be taking that long to fix it," she said.

Overall, she enjoys living at The Ranch, but does not like the management.

“If they have the same management next year, then no, I wouldn’t recommend living there,” Guzman said. “You get what you pay for.”

Another District resident, Jenna Pontillas, a sophomore majoring in pre-nursing and Spanish, has called the complex home since August as well.

“Move-in was pretty easy,” Pontillas said. “They were organized.”

However, she said that when she moved in, her room was “super gross and everything was dirty and dusty.”

Pontillas appreciates the amenities, though—free printing included.

“The pool is nice—it’s pretty clean," Pontillas said. "And all the appliances in the apartment work,” she said.

Pontillas uses the discounted SunLink pass for UA students to get to and from school.

Schewel said hikers should avoid interacting with wildlife at all costs.

“In higher elevation places, bears are preparing for winter rest,” she said.

Schewel said bears can recognize human food sources such as ice chests and can get into them if they are not well stored.

To remedy this, she recommended picnickers and campers to put food in bear-proof boxes “The best thing to do is to avoid the wildlife on trails and just view them from a distance,” Burstein said. “This is their home and we are just guests, so humans should make more of a point of respecting the animals and their territory.”

Burstein said he has seen a few mountain lions on his hikes throughout Tucson and described them as very majestic creatures.

Schewel said she wants students and locals alike to get out and visit Arizona's wildlife, but urged all hikers be very conscious of their surroundings while enjoying the Tucson trails.

The wildlife and plant life throughout these trails are unique to the Sonoran Desert, which is what makes the hikes in Tucson such a novel experience.

“The ability to pack up and go hiking on any given day makes Tucson and its nature one of a kind," Steinberger said.

"The lack of civilians seen during the hike is also a positive. No one enjoys a crowded hike."

NURSING FRESHMAN ANGLELICA PAINTER and microbiology sophomore Alessandro Ali shop for Halloween costumes at the Tucson Thrift Store on Fourth Avenue on Saturday, Oct. 22. Tucson Thrift Store is one of the many recycled clothing stores in Tucson that advertise Halloween costumes.

Get thrifty with your costume this year

BY CHLOE RAISSEN @chloeraissen

Halloween is just around the corner, and students looking for inexpensive and creative costumes might want to skip the Amazon search frustration and shop local—Tucson thrift stores are offering plenty of costumes at student-friendly prices.

At Tucson Thrift Shop on Fourth Avenue, the employees are more than willing to help make a Halloween costume fit each customer’s personal style.

Davina Araiza, a full-time employee at the vintage shop, works on custom garments and alterations in her spare time.

She enjoys working with customers to create a custom look.

“Our job is to piece [costumes] together for [customers],” Araiza said.

Customers who don’t know what they want can look around the shop and get inspiration from all of the new and vintage costumes on the walls, adorned by looks put together by employees. These costumes range from a collection of vintage garments to brand-new, never-worn outfits.

Araiza said she can make a character fit to a personality or personal style of any customer that walks through the door. Her job is to turn someone’s vision into a reality.

Desert Vintage, also on Fourth Avenue, is a vintage clothing boutique that features hidden gems from the past.

“Clothes aren’t made the way they used to be,” said Tasnim Boufelfel, a film and television sophomore.

The garments at Desert Vintage are one-ofa-kind. Each article of clothing is particular to the decade it was made.

The shop does not have a specific area designated for Halloween costumes, although they can be created by putting

together different articles of clothing from the same decade.

Boufelfel recommended coming into the shop to focus on a particular decade to recreate for a Halloween costume.

Buffalo Exchange is another good spot for Halloween costume hunting. Since 1974, Buffalo Exchange has provided the Tucson community with a way to buy, sell and trade used clothing, accessories and jewelry.

Located just east of campus on East Speedway Boulevard, Buffalo Exchange creates Halloween costumes with its regular assortment of fashion trends, which includes decade pieces found around the store.

Students can trade in their unworn clothing, accessories and jewelry for the opportunity to receive cash or in-store credit. In-store credit from trading in clothing can be used on all merchandise, including Halloween costumes.

Goodwill on Fourth Avenue is flying under the radar for Halloween costumes this year.

Most of the costumes have been sold, and the Halloween aisles are dwindling because of the lack of costumes this year.

Halloween decorations are in stock at the Fourth Avenue location, and props, wigs and costume makeup are still available for purchase.

For the students who enjoy hunting through hundreds of costumes to find just the one, Savers is the thrift store to find anything and everything to complete an award-winning costume.

Savers, located on East Broadway Boulevard, has all the necessities for the making of a budget-friendly Halloween costume. The selection varies with new and used costumes to props, makeup, wigs and accessories.

Shopping local at the thrift stores around the UA will both save money and have you ready for some trick-or-treating next week.

HEATHER NEWBERRY/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA BEACH VOLLEYBALL ATHLETE Sam Manley dives to dig the ball during a practice on Oct. 6. Manley is heading into her sophomore season at the UA.

Manley sisters live, breathe volleyball; believe Arizona’s legacy can be great

BY MATT WALL @mwall20

Sam Manley was 11 years old when she decided to take a chance on a sport she had never played.

“I’m not going to try out for a club when I’ve never played recreationally,” Sam recalled telling a friend of hers.

That same friend had reserved a tryout spot with the local club volleyball team, the Coyote Cougars, but was sick. Sam stepped forward to help her friend fill the spot.

“I made it somehow,” Sam said. “I was 11 [years old] playing on the 13-under team. I had a lot of work to do.”

Jessica Manley supported her sister, Sam, while sitting in the stands and cheering for her during tournaments.

When Jessica tore her knee cap playing soccer in fifth grade, she knew she would need to turn to a different sport.

“Mom said, ‘You are not playing soccer anymore,’” Jessica said.

Soon enough, she found herself following Sam’s footsteps and taking up the sport of volleyball.

“My sister had been playing for a year, and it was a non-contact sport,” Jess said.

Jessica has only been a part of Arizona beach volleyball for five weeks, and the transition has been a grueling process.

“Coming here as a student-athlete, we’ve never given so much time in volleyball and school,” Jessica said. “Just the combination of everything—you have to give your full effort in every aspect of your life.”

The time management came easier to Sam after being a two-sport athlete in high school.

“At one point, I was playing for two different volleyball teams,” Sam said. “I was doing varsity track—sprinting for my high school. I was doing, like, three different practices a night.”

Both eventually made the transition from indoor to beach volleyball.

“To play beach, you have to be able to bump, set and hit,” Sam said. “I really liked always being on the court and every time the ball comes over the net, you touch the ball. Just the environment—no whistles.”

At the end of the day, both sisters said they are proud of who they have become and all of the things they get to share. “[Sam is] one of the biggest influences in my life, which is why I chose to come here a year after her,” Jessica said. “She’s my biggest supporter.”

Arizona football desperate for quick rebound Many things have gone wrong this season for Rich Rodriguez’s Wildcats, but the head coach said brighter things are ahead for the program

BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports

Arizona football fell off the map last weekend and with the program off to its worst start since 2011, the recuperation period from reality couldn’t have come at a better time.

The Wildcats finally received the bye week that head coach Rich Rodriguez was searching for and questioning last season, but having a week off didn’t mean drinking beverages with little umbrellas and laying out by the pool.

Instead, Rodriguez focused on the two most important tasks outside of winning football games: recruiting and getting healthy.

“It was certainly a much-needed bye week,” Rodriguez said. “For the coaches, we also spent a few days recruiting. It came at a great time, certainly for us, with certain guys being injured.”

Now that Arizona has come back to reality, the room for error is razor thin if the Wildcats wish to maintain the streak of making bowl games in the Rodriguez era. The head coach took a step back to evaluate his personnel in the aftermath of USC, when the Wildcats lost 48-14.

Inside the locker room and coach’s office, nobody is pushing the abort button.

“College football now is pretty competitive and you want to get to a point where you don’t have any dips in the road. But the season is just half-over,” Rodriguez said. “Let’s not all panic— I’m not panicking. The program is just fine.”

The Wildcats have only forced one turnover since Pac-12 Conference play started, and what was once viewed as a strength for Arizona has now turned into an Achilles heel as it is tied for 97th in the Football Bowl

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA QUARTERBACK ZACH WERLINGER’S (left) run gets put to a stop by UCLA defensive lineman Takkarist McKinley (98) during Arizona’s 45-24 loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California on Oct. 1. The Wildcats will take on Stanford for their Homecoming game Saturday.

Subdivision in forced turnovers.

“We’ve emphasized so much of it in practice from a standpoint of getting your hands on the ball from the beginning of camp. It has been disappointing in the last couple of weeks that we haven’t gotten any,” Rodriguez said. “We’re not good enough to win games without getting any turnovers, so

that’s been a point of contention for us.”

Also keep in mind that injuries at the linebacker position with players like DeAndre’ Miller missing three games and Cody Ippolito out for the season with an ACL injury have kept Arizona from hitting a stride when playing together on defense.

Injuries are a trend once again for this Arizona

team, and Rodriguez can’t do anything other than recruit players to maintain the “next man up” mentality to succeed. It’s even trickled down to the quarterback position, because who would’ve thought a third-string tight end in Matt Morin would end up taking snaps behind center.

With the week off, players like Brandon Dawkins—who was out against USC with a concussion—and Anu Solomon—who has been out with a knee injury since Grambling State— are now back to competing for the starting job once. A competition that went back to the start of spring practice is still in full affect for week nine of the college football season.

Not the ideal situation for Rodriguez, but with both quarterbacks healthy enough to play, he will make a decision for the starter based off of planning for the scheme Stanford will bring to Arizona Stadium this weekend.

“We’ll change quarterbacks based on particular types of plays we want to run,” Rodriguez said. “And we rotate them in practice that way, so it’s something they’re accustomed to.”

For now, the Wildcats’ top priority is coming up with a diabolical plan to shut down Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey, who is returning from injury and will look to light up Arizona Stadium for another edition of Pac-12 After Dark.

“Even though [Stanford is] talented with [its] backups, he’s one of the best players in the country,” Rodriguez said. “He’s explosive and you gotta know where he is because a large part of the offense and certainly their special teams— when he’s in the game—goes through him.”

Kelcey Cavarra rejoices after scoring first goal

BY RYAN KELAPIRE @RKelapireUA

Kelcey Cavarra has been playing soccer for as long as she can remember.

“Since I was, like, 3 years old,” she estimated.

And in the countless times she’s laced up her cleats, there has been no shortage of accolades.

The Littleton, Colorado native and graduate of Columbine High School was an all-state player her sophomore and junior years, a team captain in her junior and senior years, and an all-conference player in all four years of her high school career.

From there, she signed on to play at Arizona, where she’s appeared in every game for the Wildcats in the 2016 season, developing into a key player for Arizona’s midfield in her initial season.

While those accomplishments are all noteworthy, there’s one moment of her

seemingly life-long career that will always stick out from the rest: her first collegiate goal.

“Growing up playing soccer, it’s one of the moments you dream of and picture in your head a thousand times,” Cavarra said.

Cavarra thought endlessly about how that moment would unfold, when it would happen and who it would go against. But ironically, when it was actually happening, there wasn’t time to think.

Arizona was trailing to a top-15 UCLA team 1-0 in the second half, and Cavarra found herself in a position to change the game.

After shifting the ball to teammate Charlotte Brascia, Cavarra took a few steps forward and Brascia dished the ball right back, delivering a pass between two defenders.

Cavarra—standing roughly 30 yards from the net—had space, but two UCLA defenders were closing in on her. Without any time to spare, Cavarra took a quick glance at the net,

measured up the distance and drove her right foot forward, powerfully striking the ball.

Meanwhile, an oncoming defender collided with Cavarra during her follow-through, sending her tumbling to the ground. From there, all she could do is hope for the best as the ball soared through the air.

“I just remember taking a touch and I remember watching it from the ground, hoping that it would somehow get past the keeper,” Cavarra remembered.

The ball zipped toward the top-right corner of the net while the goalkeeper, diving to her left, managed to get her fingertips on it.

But it wasn’t enough to redirect Cavarra’s pinpoint shot, and her first collegiate goal was in the books.

“I never pictured it to be as cool as it was.

It’s probably one of the best moments of my life,” Cavarra said, despite her team eventually losing 2-1 in double overtime. “That was

awesome and I’m so happy.”

Congratulatory tweets and texts flooded Cavarra’s phone after the game, and she said she’s re-watched the play 100 times, recapturing the moment she dreamt of for so long.

It’s not just joy, excitement and a place in the spotlight that results from seeing the ball grace the back of the net for the first time, though. There’s also a sense of relief.

“The pressure that’s put on you [is the most difficult part],” Cavarra said about the transition from high school to college. “You want to get out there and perform and it’s a new standard, even though you’ve been playing the same sport your whole entire life ...

You’ve been playing against girls that are good your whole life, and now it’s like you’re taking the best from each team and playing them.”

CAVARRA REJOICE FROM PAGE 16

the Pac-12 Conference can be intimidating, but scoring against a ranked team like UCLA helps ease any uncertainty.

“Belief when you’re a young, inexperienced player can take some time, and she’s fit, works hard and has been growing, growing and growing through the season,” Arizona head coach Tony Amato said. “Even as a coaching staff, you go ‘She did it against UCLA, so she can do it against others,’ and that can instill some confidence in us, too.”

Confidence. While Cavarra has been contributing for the Wildcats throughout the season, notching a first career goal is the ultimate confidence boost.

“She’s the kind of player where maybe if you’re just a neutral watcher in the stands you may not notice what she does, the work she’s doing,” Amato said. “So, to pop up and get a goal on top of playing well in areas that maybe aren’t so recognizable, it can help her as a young player get better moving forward.”

Evidently it has.

Two games after her first goal, Cavarra was inserted into Arizona’s starting lineup for the first time, playing a career-high 80 minutes in a 3-0 win against Oregon State on Oct. 23.

Amato believes Cavarra is at the beginning of a long, productive career.

“I think she’s an honest, hard-working player who, with time, has continued to get better in terms of experience and confidence,” Amato said. “She’s played in every game this year so she’s always been right there and about trying to help us win, and I think over the course of four years, she’ll have a good career.”

While Cavarra hasn’t scored since that memorable night against UCLA, Amato told her what his coach told him when he scored his first collegiate goal: “That’s one of many.”
