By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT UAPD recognizes the help of the community when it comes to stopping crime. The University of Arizona Police Department has 57 police officers serving a population of 50,000 UA community members on a single given day, according to Sgt. Juan Alvarez. “We just can’t be everywhere at once,” he said. Often times, community members help solve a case by giving UAPD leads or turning

in a suspect. To show their appreciation, UAPD held an awards ceremony at their main station on Wednesday. The ceremony began at 11:30 a.m., and Alvarez opened by introducing Chief Anthony Daykin and subsequently honored six community members who have helped law enforcement. “It’s something we’ve done in the past sporadically, but now we want to start doing it at least twice a year,” Alvarez said. “It’s important to recognize these people.” Alvarez also said he feels recog-
nition is one of the main motivators for community members to help out law enforcement. Daykin presented the six individuals with a coin and certificate. “These people give tips, provide details of suspects, and willingly help out,” Alvarez said. The first to be recognized was Bethany Anderson, who was working in her office on campus when she witnessed a man trying to steal a bicycle. “We see that there’s a bit of a bicycle UAPD, page 8

Hunger Banquet illustrates poverty, classism By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Students with grumbling stomachs lined up outside of Pima Residence Hall on Wednesday night to learn their fate at the 16th annual Hunger Banquet . The students had fasted for 30 hours to simulate world poverty and hunger, but the simulation didn’t end when the fast did. As students walked through the doors, they received a paper deter-
mining whether they would be high class, middle class or low class. The higher-class students made up 15 percent of the group and were seated at two tables with white table cloths. Students in the high class dined on marinara pasta, bread, salad, coffee and iced tea. Middle-class students made up 30 percent of the group. These students did not have the luxury of a table and sat on folding chairs drinking ice water and eating rice and black beans on
plates with plastic forks. The remaining students sat on the floor and were given rice in cups and had to eat with their hands and were able to get room temperature water. Emily Spirk , a sophomore studying vocal performance and French, said seeing the visual breakdown of poverty was “very jarring.” “I was kind of disappointed when I got my slip,” said pre-public health sophomore Stephanie Cole . “It really simulates how something can be
taken away from you.” The paper also had a name, story of the person’s daily life and the country they live in. “We’re trying to put a more human element on it by giving people names,” said Hannah Lozon , coordinator of social justice education at Residence Life. Cole said having the name helped make the experience more personal. “It puts a name and almost a HUNGER, page 3
LGBTQ wing in dorm supported By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
ASUA voiced support of gender-inclusive housing on Wednesday night. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate approved Sen. Scott Rising’s resolution in favor of a pilot program to add a proposed 25 spots in gender-inclusive housing as well as a LGBTQ-themed wing at its 5 p.m. weekly meeting in the
Student Union Memorial Center. “This is an issue that is not just a housing issue. This is an issue that I think is really a campus-wide issue,” said Jim Van Arsdel, director of UA Residence Life, “and the thoughtful consideration of a group like this is really important in that whole process.” “Really nothing has to change besides the occupants of the room,” Rising said at the Oct. 20 forum on gender-inclusive housing, where a 30-person group

unanimously supported the idea of gender-inclusive housing, akin to other living-learning communities in UA Residence Life. Gender-inclusive housing would include both biological sex and the gender with which people identify. “Part of the issue is that our current residence hall system is based on a binary gender system that only recognizes male and female,” said Jennifer Hoefle, program director of LGBTQ Affairs. “But bodies and identities don’t only fall into those

two categories.” Hoefle felt that those outside of the binary “are rendered invisible, or are not served, or are forced to live alone or there’s not a place for them to live off campus.” Heterosexual men and women who are allies could also live in the wing, and could live together in the same room.

A 1959 UA alumna returns to campus to give a lecture on her photography tonight at 5:30. “I have had work shown at the center before and they actually own a couple of my original pieces,” said Barbara Kasten , the artist. Cass Fey, Curator of Education at Center for Creative Photography, selected Kasten as the artist to be featured in a lecture version of the exhibition. “The Center for Creative Photography is an important international research center and museum,” she said. “Artists like to visit, come to look at the work here and to be a part of the program … and Kasten is a widely known artist in the world photography, so we wanted her to come to the program.” Kasten received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1959 from the UA. “She studied painting and sculpture through the UA, so she’s alumna. I invited her for this and many more reasons, ARTIST, page 8
