Faculty Senate members engaged in a heated discussion at their monthly meeting on Monday regarding the level of diversity within faculty and the methods with which to improve diversification at the UA. With diversity numbers showing that tenure and continuing eligible faculty new hires for AfricanAmericans totaled three from 20092013 and zero for Native Americans/ Alaskan Natives in that same time period, some faculty members were outraged. “I’d like to know what the provost’s office is doing about this,” said Andrew Silverman, a retired clinical professor of law and senate member. “They should be ordering every dean and not giving a raise to any dean, I would hope, until they do something about it … We’re not doing shit. We’re not doing anything in this university. Look at these figures.” Tom Miller, associate provost

for faculty affairs, provided a chart that detailed tenure eligible and continuing faculty new hires by college from January 2009 to fall 2013 in a breakdown of race/ethnicity. Overall for minority hires, the number totaled 57, while the number of white hires totaled 178. However, the chart only showed open searches within departments and did not include hires through the Strategic Priority Faculty Initiative, which would have added 20 more ethnic minority hires to the overall number, Miller said. Miller said the lack of diversity in faculty is a growing concern because more than 40 percent of the entering student class come from minority backgrounds. In a chart detailing the 10-Year Trend of Headcounts by Rank, Gender and Race/Ethnicity, the amount of African Americans or Blacks remained flat. However, there was a 40 percent increase in Hispanic hires in the past 10 years, he added. “It’s a glass half-full, glass halfempty kind of situation,” Miller said. “You can see we are not doing

the hiring we need to do if we are interested in diversifying our faculty.” Miller said progress can be made, but only if university members redouble efforts to promote inclusive hiring pools. He added that Provost Andrew Comrie, in a letter to college deans in August, required that deans continue with hiring provisions established last year. Comrie requested that all hiring committees have at least one person from outside

the department on the committee, that at least one member of every hiring committee should attend workshops offered by Raji Rhys, cochair of the Strategic Priority Faculty Initiative, Laura Hunter, program and research manager, and Miller regarding unconscious bias and that the search plan for committees should be reviewed by Rhys, Hunter

THE NEW SELFIE UA faculty, staff worry about social With photography project, student looks media anonymity to redefine ‘beautiful’ for young women BY ERIN DESOTO

BY STEPHANIE CASANOVA

The Daily Wildcat

With a new trend in anonymous social media pages, UA faculty and staff members are concerned not only for students’ safety but for the consequences they may face in the future based on their online behavior. The speed in which people can post online is causing some to act without thinking about the consequences, such as potential employers searching through social media accounts, said Stephen Russell, interim director of the John and Doris Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences. Russell, who studies cyberbullying, said anonymity leaves people under the impression that they won’t be held responsible for their actions. “There is a technological aspect that … creates the capacity for people to do stuff that really, if

A studio art junior wants to change the way women take their Facebook profile photos. Ali Adams’ semester-long project for her Bachelor of Fine Arts honors program, titled “Young and Pretty,” is a commentary on what she calls the “selfie mentality” that many college women use when they take photos of themselves for social media. By stripping away “props,” such as makeup, a lavish background or ornate clothing, Adams said she hopes to gain insight on how young women perceive their self image. “I want to explore selfperception and objective analysis, and the idealized image versus the perception of a third party,” Adams said. “I plan on revoking this sense of

control from the individuals I photograph, causing them to surrender control.” Adams’ project starts by obtaining a “selfie,” or self portrait that the individual has taken of themselves to share with friends on social media, which illustrates how they perceive their own beauty. The second image will be a black and white image of the subject that Adams will photograph against a plain background. In the black and white photo, Adams will be in control of the subject’s appearance. “My motive is to capture these women in a more natural form,” Adams said. “To do so, I plan on shooting these images with the girls not wearing any makeup, or having stylized hair, and so forth.” Adams said the project is

FAST

HOROSCOPES Today’s birthday (11/05/13): Venus enters Capricorn today, heralding a year in which discipline applied toward areas of passion produces remarkable results. Begin pursuit of an ambition. Use Mercury’s retrograde to craft solid financial plans and infrastructure. Your people are your greatest wealth, and partnership your greatest key. Practice your art with talented friends. Grow the love. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 9 — Participate socially this month, and get lost in fascinating philosophical conversation. Others are looking to you for a decision. Once you commit you’ll find freedom, and release. And others can make their own. Perform an anonymous good deed. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — Travel looks tempting, but postpone until tomorrow, if possible (or just dance with some surprises). Ignore someone who says you’ll fail, and make a list of goals. Plan actions and strategies to support your team. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Today is a 9 — Don’t let obstacles slow you down. Practice with your teammate to break records. Get old business handled. The next month is good for saving money

and handling finances. Go for fast, fun productivity. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is a 8 — Female magnetism pays a big role in today’s successes. Strengthen partnerships this month. Costs may be higher than expected. Proceed with caution, but you can handle it. Compromise, delegate and don’t underestimate the power of cookies. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — Be careful. For four weeks, work gets exceptionally fun. Don’t get distracted while chopping. What could thrive in such a creative environment? Make a mess and find out. Spend time in contemplation. Keep it practical. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — Luscious romance takes center stage. Dance your way into the spotlight. Others give you support in your career, but you have to be willing to receive it. Postpone travel for now. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Opposition to your ideas could arise. They probably have a good reason. Try their shoes on, and walk a mile, before responding. At least you’ll get some exercise and learn something new. Make your own choices. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9 — You’re even smarter than usual. A

conflict of interests shows up at your door. Try to understand other people’s feelings and it goes easier. Get outside perspectives. Keep your finances ethical.

— In 2000, the people 60 years and older constituted 11 percent of the world population. That number is expected to double by 2050.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 9 — At first, the task may seem impossible. Looking at it more closely or from a different angle reveals new data. Gather new income now. You find your comfort zone, and confidence soars.

— Also by 2050, the majority of middle-aged adults will still have living parents. — Most health problems older people are caused noncommunicable diseases.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — Don’t throw money at the problem or you could very well make it worse. Worrying about it won’t take you anywhere. Use patience and brains. Define how you’d like it to go. Someone finds that very romantic.

and Miller. However, Silverman said he feels the provost’s office must order staff to improve diversity, as opposed to only teaching it through workshops. This raised concerns from Comrie regarding the legality of mandating people to hire a more diverse staff. “It’s entirely possible to move these numbers although … we also simultaneously have to stay within the law,” Comrie said. “If I mandate people to hire folks of a certain color then we will end up in jail and that’s not a particularly good outcome either.” Some other senate members complained that the chart only detailed new hires and did not present a complete landscape of the diversity in each department. “We need to see the departments that have a good landscape and have a good profile and the ones that don’t,” said Marlys Witte, a faculty senate member and professor of surgery. “It’s not enough to just look at the hires … we have to see progress.” A graph recently published in The Chronicle of Higher Education, compiled through numbers from the U.S. Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, gave a breakdown of full-time faculty members who were members of specific racial and ethnic groups at 1,630 colleges and universities in November 2011. Full-time faculty at the UA totaled 2,661 and, when broken down, total minority was found to equal 19 percent. Out of the total faculty, 67 percent were white. In addition, 38 percent were found to be female. The lack of gender diversity in faculty was also a topic that Faculty Senate members discussed. Miller responded that the newest strategic plan is attempting to emphasize diversity in a way that previous plans have not. A lot of the discussion is focused on underrepresented diverse groups, he added. However, Miller stressed it also falls on departments to notice the lack of diversity and understand that it is unacceptable. “We’re not making the progress we need,” Miller said. “We need to step up and take responsibility for hiring faculty who will help us meet the needs of our diverse students and constituents. — Jazmine Foster-Hall contributed reporting to this article — Follow Brittny Mejia @BrittnyAriel

Students prepare to explore grad schools by micah montiel The Daily Wildcat

Students interested in earning their master’s degree will get a chance to learn about some of the graduate school programs across the United States at an upcoming fair. UA Career Services is inviting students to the annual UA Graduate School Day on Wednesday for graduate school programs and organizations that are interested in speaking with students who are looking into graduate school. The fair, which will feature more than 90 different organizations or institutions, allows each institution to present themselves to students in a way that showcases what students should expect in their program, said Susan Miller-Pinhey, marketing and special events manager for UA Career Services. In past years, New York University, Columbia University, Penn State University, and Pepperdine University, among other schools, have been represented at the event. Schools from all over the nation, such as Princeton University and Purdue University, will be

represented this year. Julia Leone, a psychology senior, said while she already has some graduate programs in mind, she’s still looking forward to attending the fair. “It’s always a great idea to see other options,” Leone said. “I hope there are schools from across the country there on Wednesday, not just the West Coast.” Arizona State University will have seven to eight tables showcasing different program opportunities. The University of Southern California and Northern Arizona University will each have three tables in addition to many other schools with multiple programs. Zachary Brooks, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, said the decision to go to graduate school can be difficult and requires potential applicants to be well-informed. “I think it’d be [a] really great event for undergraduates because graduate school is a really big decision, and they should be as informed as possible before they go.” Approximately 400 to 500 students are

All students are encouraged to attend the event, regardless of their expected graduation date. “This is great for students to talk to different schools and find out potentially what they might study there if they’re interested in those particular programs and those particular schools,” said Miller-Pinhey. “Its just a good opportunity for students to get a feel for different programs across the country from representatives that are here recruiting them.“ — Follow Micah Montiel @MicahMontiel

of us who see it and perceive it, it is perceived as aggressive.” Another concern Salafsky expressed was that the page gave the wrong depiction of the UA, and gave a false idea of the kinds of decisions students make regarding the use of alcohol, he added. “We know students make mistakes but overall in our experience, we find that most students make pretty good decisions most of the time,” Salafsky said. “On a health standpoint, on a safety standpoint, it was something we really wanted to act on and address.” Andrea Smiley, associate vice president of the UA Office of Communications, said student safety is the UA’s number one priority and it’s always a good thing to mitigate any situation in which students may be at risk. Trying to keep students safe and aware of these situations is the university’s job, Smiley added. “Creating a venue for a situation that can cause potential harm, I think if it can be mitigated that’s important,” Smiley said. “I think social media has many benefits as well as risks … when you throw in anonymity as a component of that, it probably increases the risks.”

Matthias Mehl, associate professor in the UA Department of Psychology, said the notion of anonymity brings out negative behavior that’s more noticeable through social media. “The psychological process is very human, we’ve seen it before,” Mehl said. “It’s nothing about the virtual world, it’s just that the virtual perfect world makes it much easier and much more accessible.” The former Facebook page UofA DABS, which stands for Drunk Ass Bitches, was managed by an anonymous group of students that allowed other UA students to submit photos of their intoxicated friends. Some photos showed students passed out on the floor or hunkered over a toilet. A UA student who works for Campus Health Service brought the page to the attention of David Salafsky, director of promotion and preventive services for Campus Health, who then sent a letter to the submission email provided on the social media page. Salafsky said he was concerned for students’ safety. “Notice. Care. Help. That’s being a real friend,” the letter read. The page was shut down late last week. The managers of the

Christmas spirit still embodies generosity BY NATHANIEL DRAKE The Daily Wildcat

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The stores are packed full of Christmas decorations and TV commercials advertise the newest toys and gadgets with promises of free layaway. Oh, wait, it’s only early November. It’s easy enough to criticize the commercialization of Christmas for taking away from the “true spirit” of the holiday, but that would ignore all the good that comes from commercialization. Christmas does, of course, have its roots in Christianity, though according to a 2010 Gallup Poll, 95 percent of Americans celebrate Christmas while only about 77 percent of the country identifies as Christian. The same poll shows that just over half of Americans view the holiday as “strongly religious.” About 62 percent of Americans attend religious services on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, while 93 percent exchange gifts. The modern interpretation of the Christmas season clearly isn’t what it used to be. Hillary Hovey, a junior studying family studies and development, said that it seems too early for the Christmas season to be upon us. “It’s a bit much for me,” she said. “I love Christmas, but we haven’t even had Thanksgiving yet, and Halloween just passed, so it’s kind of overwhelming to already see Christmas stuff [in stores].” But that isn’t to say that the evolution of Christmas into a time of hyper-consumerism is inherently evil. In fact, buried beneath the greedy consumerism, which is so easy to roll our eyes at, is a hint of generosity that should restore some of our faith in humanity. There is #GivingTuesday, capitalizing on the well-known Black Friday frenzy and Cyber Monday, which launched last year as a day for people around the world to take a step back and donate to charitable organizations on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Blackbaud, a supplier of products that focus on fundraising and financial management for nonprofit organizations, recorded a 53 percent increase in online donations on Nov. 27, 2012 compared to the Tuesday after Thanksgiving the previous year, totaling more than $10 million. DonorPerfect, another fundraising software provider for nonprofits, recorded a 46 percent increase in online donations on that day compared to the year before, and the average amount of the donation increased by 25 percent. For its first year, that isn’t too bad. And #GivingTuesday isn’t the only example of Christmas time inspiring people to give. In a survey from Ask your Target Market, 57 percent of people said they donate their time and/or money during the holiday season. The Center on Philanthropy reported that the average person gives 24 percent of their annual donations between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, which only accounts for about 9 percent of the days in a year. The Network for Good reported that the average donation amount during the holiday season is higher than during other times of the year. In December 2010, for example, the average donation was $142, as opposed to $91 for donations during other months. More than 30 percent of Network for Good’s donation processing occurs during December. In 2012, the Salvation Army helped more than 4 million Americans with holiday assistance. Shawna Kroh, the public relations director for the Salvation Army office in Tucson, said the Angel Tree program, where the public can select tags with gift suggestions off Christmas trees in malls and other private companies, distributes gifts to about 1,600 children in the city each year. “The malls get the most tags and we get the most toys from the malls,” Kroh said. If Christmas wasn’t the huge commercial deal it currently is, these programs wouldn’t be nearly as successful. The true spirit of Christmas may be different than it used to be, but that isn’t all bad. Consumerism can also bring out the generosity in people to help others who are less fortunate. Maybe the Christmas season is still about giving after all. — Nathaniel Drake is the opinions editor. Follow him @nsdrake

Cultural appropriation problematic BY KATELYN KENNON The Daily Wildcat

How many Cherokee princesses, rice paddy farmers, tequilaslinging banditos and turbaned snake charmers did you see tromping through the streets of Tucson last weekend? Halloween festivities often encourage and accept cultural appropriation, and that’s a problem we should all be concerned about. The day after parties cease, appropriative costumes are thrown aside like a fad, but the attitudes that prompted us to put them on are not fleeting — they are part of a larger power structure that can’t be so easily discarded. WiseGEEK, one of the few sites that defines cultural appropriation, calls it “the act of borrowing aspects of another culture.” But that definition is too euphemistic. Borrowing implies respect, mutuality and understanding. Cultural appropriation, however, is not about exchange; it is about

taking without comprehending. When we put on costumes that caricature another culture, we have not been invited as guests to partake. We have forced our way in, taken control and reframed the culture to suit our own purposes. Nolan Cabrera, an assistant professor in the College of Education who studies race and racism, pointed out that the students donning costumes purporting to represent Mexican Americans or Native Americans are often attending parties where the targeted group is not even present. This is tied into a certain ignorance of the other, a lack of understanding of that culture’s signs and symbols. For instance, Nancy Parezo, a professor of American Indian Studies, said that in Native American cultures, the right to wear certain things, like feathered headdresses, must be earned through deeds. To wear one casually, as part of a drunken evening of debauchery, displays not only an unwillingness to learn about and appreciate Native American traditions, but also

NEW YORK CITY MARATHON — Manhattan looked like a military state on Sunday during the New York City Marathon. Armed Coast Guard boats escorted ferries around the Manhattan and New Jersey area. The finish line had fewer spectators this year, and those that were watching had to go through a security checkpoint. Marathoners also had to go through metal detectors, and bomb-sniffing dogs roamed the area. This is of course all in reaction to the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three people and injured more than 260 others in April. It’s sad that modern American sporting events need to be militarized, but it beats experiencing another tragedy. LGBTQ RIGHTS — Basic civil rights for the gay, lesbian and transgender community seem to be finally gaining traction. The U.S. Supreme Court overruled the Defense of Marriage Act in June, which prohibited legally married same sex couples from receiving federal benefits, and New Jersey became the 14th state to recognize same sex marriage in October. It’s certainly progress, but 29 states still do not prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. Arizona only bans discrimination based on sexual orientation in the public sector, but private companies are free to continue with their backwards ways. The Employment Nondiscrimination Act is currently working its way through the U.S. Congress, and for the sake of humanity, it needs to pass.

makes a mockery of them and shows a fundamental disrespect. Stereotypes also play a huge role in the creation and donning of culturally appropriative costumes. Here, Parezo said, iconic features and tropes that evoke the sense of a culture are favored over actual distinguishing factors. Therefore, all Native American tribes become muddled into one “generic Indian of the Western imagination.” Likewise, all the varied Asian cultures become our make-believe idea of an Asian derived from film or television, and we forget regional differences in any of these countries or cultures. Those are too complicated for Halloween, too restrictive. When stereotypes come into play, there is no interest in seeing those from other cultures as real people. Many times, there is no distinction between the campiness and theatricality of a costume — the fantasy — and the true existence of a group. Through these attitudes, the targeted groups become severely reduced as human beings and limited in their ability to identify as whatever they choose. In effect,

a people becomes only their stereotype, Cabrera said. Cabrera also said that seeing these costumes can remind minority groups that their peers do not see them as equals, which creates a “hostile racial campus climate,” not the inclusive and diverse environment we want to foster for the education of all. Many students that dress in the inaccurate garb of another culture on Halloween probably don’t mean offense. They needed something cheap to wear and snatched one of these costumes off the discount rack at Savers. However, that nonchalant attitude toward taking another group’s short-hand identity and trying it on for a day, trying it on for fun, before going back to a place of privilege, speaks volumes about our society. We should never — not one week, not one day out of the year — feel complacent about oppression.

Trending down UNPAID INTERNSHIP DEBATE — This really should be trending up, but with the lack of recent progress on dismantling unpaid internships that discriminate against students who can’t afford to work for free, this one seems to be on the backburner of American politics. A federal court in New York ruled in June that unpaid internships must have a specific educational component and cannot help to contribute to the company’s profits. But why hasn’t this issue been taken nationwide? The answer is simple: Congress, which could actually change this, relies on a lot of unpaid interns. In the meantime, universities should be offering grants and scholarships for students who land unpaid internships in an effort to narrow the gap between the students who can work for free and the less fortunate. Free labor is inherently unethical, and since Congress is apparently unwilling to tackle it, it should be taken on by local entities. CLIMATE CHANGE — This should be in the news too, but it’s not. Climate change has been well-documented by scientists for years, and yet, any kind of environmental regulation is meeting stiff resistance in Congress. Findings from the Pew Research Center show that 67 percent of Americans believe there is solid evidence that the globe is warming, but only 25 percent of Tea Party Republicans have decided to accept scientific evidence as proof. Like with so many issues, the Tea Party needs to wake up.

POLICE BEAT BY MICAH MONTIEL The Daily Wildcat

Nature calls

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office on charges of minor in possession of alcohol on Friday at 11:57 p.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer was patrolling around Helen Street and Cherry Avenue when he saw suspicious movement in the bushes. He saw a woman stand up from a squatting position inside the bush. As the officer got closer, he could see the woman had her skirt, underwear, and leggings pulled down around her ankles. When the woman saw the officer, she pulled up her clothing and said, “Sorry, I really needed to pee.” As she spoke, the officer noticed her watery eyes, slurred speech and the strong smell of alcohol coming from her breath. The student said she was alone and had been drinking at a friend’s house earlier that evening but was not sure where the house was. She said that she had taken several shots of alcohol. The student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office. No further legal action was taken.

Toilet talk

UAPD officers diverted a UA student to the Dean of Students Office on Friday at 2:01 a.m. for charges of minor in possession of alcohol. UAPD officers were called to the women’s restroom on the third floor of Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall. When the officers arrived, they found a student slouched over a toilet. The stall the student was in smelled strongly of alcohol. Officers tried to speak to the student but could not understand her when she spoke. Her speech was slurred and she could not lift her head from the toilet. The student’s roommate was able to speak on the student’s behalf and she gave officers the student’s identification and general information. The roommate said the student had gone out with other friends that evening to a fraternity party. When the roommate returned, she found the student drunk. The student asked her roommate to call the Tucson Fire Department because she thought she drank too much alcohol and needed to go to the hospital. After TFD evaluated the student, it was determined that the student needed to be taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center. She was then diverted to the Dean of Students office.

The Daily Wildcat Kayla Beattie has been running for as long as she can remember and isn’t planning to slow down anytime soon. Running is a tradition in the Beattie family, who hail from Woodstock, Ill. Debbie and Dave Beattie were both cross country and track runners at Bowling Green University and they passed the sport onto their four kids. Daughter Kayla Beattie however, continued on the path to the Arizona cross country team. “We kind of just grew up around the sport of running. When I was younger, my parents

but we have still remained close despite the distance.” After spending her true freshman and sophomore years at the University of Iowa, Kayla Beattie decided to transfer and become a Wildcat. During her freshman year she earned allregion honors with her 17th place finish overall at the NCAA Midwest Regional with a time of 21:32. During her second season of track at Iowa, she did not compete because of several injuries. Off the track, Kayla Beattie is studying pre-physiology and said she plans on attending medical school and then getting into pharmacological studies or

Arizona not seeking revenge against UCLA

Season outlook bleak for Wildcats

BY JAMES KELLEY

The Daily Wildcat

GAME TIME UPDATE Arizona football will play the Washington State Cougars at noon on Nov. 16 at home. This is the first day game at Arizona Stadium this season. It will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.

TWEET TO NOTE “Life is like photography. You need the negatives to develop.”Unknown #PHOTOSHOPNOTALLOWED —@CoachButts Niya Butts, women’s basketball head coach

Revenge is said to be a dish best served cold, but it’s not something Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez is serving up. Arizona (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) won three straight games, setting up a big Homecoming game against No. 19 UCLA (6-2, 3-2) at home on Saturday. Even though UCLA beat No. 22 Arizona 66-10 in what was billed as a potential Pac-12 South championship game last season in Pasadena, Calif., Rodriguez said at the weekly press conference that revenge is not on his mind. “I want us to be concerned with us,” Rodriguez said. “What revenge? They didn’t do nothing to our families.”

Wildcats impressed by Foles

A day after former Wildcat Nick Foles wowed the football world, Arizona praised him at the press conference. On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback tied an NFL record with seven touchdown passes against the Oakland Raiders. Foles threw for 406 yards, completing 22 of 28 passes in the Eagles’ 49-20. “I don’t watch any NFL, I don’t have any time, but I wish I did because Nick put on a clinic,” Rodriguez said. Fifth-year senior receiver Terrence Miller played with Foles in 2009, 2010 and 2011. “Nick has always been a

The Arizona women’s basketball schedule only has about 30 games, but by all accounts, the Wildcats are in for a long season. The UA is coming off of a 12-18 year, where it went 4-14 in Pac-12 play, had an eight-game losing streak and then lost four in a row to close the season. That was with future WNBA player Davellyn Whyte. The season was already projected to be a tough one without Whyte, who had 2,059 points and 4,243 minutes in 126 games in her four years in Tucson, but before the season started, the Wildcats’ prospects grew even more dim. Senior forward Alli Gloyd tore her ACL a couple weeks ago and will miss the season. Last year Gloyd started all 30 games for the Wildcats, averaging 9.4 points per game, third on the team, and was second on the team in rebounding with six a game. She was also fourth on the team in assists with 23. Whyte led the team in points, 16.8 a game, rebounds, 6.3 a game, and assists, 155, so Gloyd’s numbers would have gone up. Arizona does benefit from the return of junior guard Candice Warthen, who missed last season with a knee injury. She scored 23 points, had five steals, three rebounds and two assists in Arizona’s 80-65

baller,” Miller said. “He is one of those guys who stays in the film room and sets high goals for himself. When I hear that Nick Foles threw seven touchdown passes, I’m like, ‘OK.’ I expect that from a guy like him.”

Ermisch out

On Monday, Rodriguez also announced that junior receiver Trevor Ermisch tore his ACL in the win over Cal. Ermisch has played mostly on special teams, in all eight games and made five tackles. He was named special teams Player of the Week by the coaches after

the Colorado game. “Trevor is probably our most productive special teams player,” Rodriguez said. “It was just a non-contact injury. He was literally just running down the field, making a cut across a guy’s face, and he just planted wrong or something on the turf.”

rehabilitation. She said she has been “much happier here” and is in good company with the rest of the team, which she hopes will make Nationals this year. Last weekend, Beattie and the rest of the women’s team won the Pac-12 meet in Colorado — a first for the program’s history. Beattie came in fifth place overall and second for the UA with a time of 21:20 in the 6,000-meter race. In the four previous meets that Beattie has competed in, she took first place three times for the UA and third once. “We haven’t all raced as a team yet, but training with a group of girls who are all likeminded and working toward the main goal … it’s been a lot of fun,” Beattie said about her teammates this year.

The Arizona men’s tennis duo was eliminated at the Larry Easley Memorial Classic hosted by UNLV this past weekend. The Wildcats were eliminated in the singles consolation quarterfinals and the doubles quarterfinals as well.

The Arizona women’s cross country team won its first Pac-12 conference championship on Saturday. They won the meet with a total of 69 points. Senior cross country runner Elvin Kibet was named the Pac-12 2013 Scholar Athlete of the Year. Kibet finished second place overall in the women’s race during the championship.

Colorado State swept the Arizona hockey team in a two-game series during the weekend. The Wildcats lost three players due to injuries. Seniors Ansel Ivens-Anderson and Steven Sisler and junior Michael Ferreira will be out for a couple of weeks.

After defeating California on Saturday, Arizona football is bowl eligible for the second season in a row. The Wildcats didn’t go to a single bowl game from 1999 to 2007. Arizona’s women’s basketball beat Fort Lewis 80-65 during an exhibition for the women’s season debut on Saturday at McKale Center with only seven players.

New rules have been set for this year’s basketball season. Hand-checking will be one of the rules that will be enforced by the NCAA this season due to “rough play”.

Arizona soccer has surpassed its overall and Pac-12 conference win total from last season. The team has one game left on their schedule.

Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak is in the hospital after collapsing on the field during Sunday’s game. The Texans lost 27-24 to the Indianapolis Colts.

exhibition win over Fort Lewis. She played 38 out of 40 minutes. The Wildcats played only seven players. Exhibitions against Division II teams are supposed to be chances to watch walk-ons, players who usually only enter the game after 11 other teammates have. Only two of the seven Wildcats who entered the game last Saturday played last year. Senior forward Erica Barnes and sophomore guard Keyahndra Cannon didn’t play because of injuries. Arizona has a solid freshman class, led by LaBrittney Jones, who was ranked as the 23rd best forward and 87th best rookie overall by ESPN. Jones missed last season too, also with a torn ACL. If someone else gets hurt, the UA might need to go recruiting in the Student Recreation Center. With Whyte, the second best player in the history of Arizona women’s basketball, the Wildcats only made it to a national post season tournament once, a first round loss in the National Women’s Invitational Tournament in 2011. During the career of Adia Barnes, the UA’s best women’s basketball player ever, the Wildcats made it to the NCAA tournament twice and won

the WNIT. Arizona won 15 games in 2011-12, 14 in 2009-10, 12 in 2008-09, 10 in 2007-08, 11 in 2006-07 and eight in 2005-06. In 2004-05, the UA went 20-12 and made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament. So what happened? The chain of events started when Arizona’s best player at the time, Shawntinice Polk, died suddenly on Sept. 26, 2005. The UA was devastated. Then, in 2008, Arizona fired its head coach, Joan Bonvicini, who is now 11th on the NCAA Division I all-time wins list for women’s basketball. She coaches Seattle, which was picked to win the WAC this season by both its coaches and the media. Arizona replaced Bonvicini with Niya Butts, a charismatic and popular coach who got a contract extension to 2016 after the WNIT berth. Under Butts, Arizona can recruit well, getting players like Whyte, Jones and Aley Rohde, the 36th best recruit according to ESPN, but can’t capitalize on them. Rohde transferred to UNLV in 2012 after one season. The tragedy of Polk’s death has echoed through the years and the UA has yet to recover. So it is fair to ask, are the Wildcats cursed?

contract through the 2017-18 academic year. The conference’s “CEO Group,” its 12 university presidents and chancellors also named Scott the Executive Chairman of Pac12 Enterprises. “I am honored and gratified by the support from the CEO Group of our great institutions,” Scott said in a press release. “We have reached a number of key milestones in the past four years and none of this would have been possible without the vision and commitment of our board.” During his four year reign as commissioner, the conference expanded from the Pac-10 adding Colorado and Utah and launched the Pac-12 Networks. The Conference of Champions also signed a $2.7 billion contract with ESPN and FOX. “Larry’s leadership and vision is critical as we realize our tremendous potential as a Conference built on a firm foundation of academic excellence and superior athletic achievement,” said Dr. Elson S. Floyd, Washington State president and chair of the Pac-12 CEO Group in a press release. “Pac-12 Enterprises will continue to provide exposure to our athletic programs, student-athletes in all sports, and world-renowned academic programs, as well as deliver long-term financial value for our institutions to help fulfill our core academic missions.” The tenure of Scott, the conference’s sixth commissioner, has been marred by Pac-12 Networks’ absence from DirecTV and officiating controversies. Last March, the Pac-12 fined Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller for his remarks about officials and a few weeks later officiating coordinator Ed Rush resigned despite support from Scott.

Q What are the laws for bringing a friend to the hospital for alcohol poisoning?

A. laws. Medical amnesty creates an exemption from prosecution for minors who voluntarily present themselves at an agency or ER for You may be referring to medical amnesty and Good Samaritan

observation, examination, and treatment of alcohol over-consumption and/or a legitimate health care concern. “Good Samaritan” amnesty laws do the same thing for intoxicated minors who bring another minor to an ER for medical attention. Organizational medical amnesty grants the same protection from prosecution to an institution such as a fraternity or sports club. The rationale behind medical amnesty is to protect the health and lives of students who over-consume alcohol to the point of needing medical help by assuring them that they, or those who assist them in getting health care, will not be subject to disciplinary actions for obtaining that help. Though there are 16 states that have medical amnesty laws. Arizona is not one of them. There is ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness of these policies. Do they promote even riskier drinking behaviors because of the absence of legal consequences or does it have the potential to save lives? This has proven to be a hard question to answer based on the difficulty of measuring the impact of the laws. When taking a friend to an ER for alcohol poisoning, the following question may arise for some students: Do I risk getting myself, my friend, or my organization in trouble, or do I do what is best to optimize the healthiest outcome?

We believe that helping a friend in need is always the right thing to do. Death always trumps getting in trouble. Regrets and poor decision making are often the result of over-consumption of alcohol and are especially so in cases of alcohol poisoning. Not taking action could seriously hurt a friend and haunt you forever.

meant to be a reflection on how women style themselves when attempting to be the idealized image they prefer, adding that her goal is to challenge this perception of beauty with her own. By removing the element of control from the subject, Adams said she hopes to add her own idea of beauty to the photo. “Ideally, I hope to contrast their self-objective idea of their own beauty with how I perceive their raw form,” Adams said. To accomplish this, Adams will contrast two images of each subject. Kayli McArthur, an engineering sophomore, was one of the women chosen to be a part of Adams’ project. Having grown used to making herself look a certain way before snapping a photo, McArthur said the experience was a little unsettling. “I think for me and most girls, every event is a photo opportunity, which includes ‘the check’ before any photo is posted to social media,” McArthur said. “It was a little unnerving knowing I was the subject and had to be pose-less. The preparation is gone, so I definitely felt a little bare.” Claudia Cardenas-Frick, a prephysiology sophomore, was also photographed for the project, and said that although the shoot was different than what she was used to, she felt comfortable in front of the camera. “I did not have control over the photo … but Ali made me feel comfortable, and I felt like she was still able to capture my personality in the photo,” she said. Certain selections of “Young and Pretty”

might be displayed in the Todd Walker gallery in the Center for Creative Photography at the end of the semester. Rebecca Najdowski, a visiting assistant professor in the School of Art and Adams’ instructor for documentary photography, will choose the best entries for display in the gallery. “I currently have work being shown in the gallery, but the possibility of having my project chosen out of all the other students, especially when the idea is completely my own, that would be a huge honor,” Adams said. To conclude the project, Adams will allow space on each photo for the individual to add responses to various questions about the project in order to bring to light its purpose. The questions will confront the subject’s self-perception, as well as how participants felt while being photographed. “I hope by taking away these girls’ control of the photo, they can hopefully become comfortable in their raw form,” Adams said. “If people see [the photographs] hanging in the Todd Walker gallery, I want them to notice the beauty of the women, and that it is possible to be considered young and pretty without the makeup and façade.” — Follow Arts reporter Erin DeSoto @Erin DeSoto

‘ENDER’S GAME’ Best sci-fi film of the year, despite thematic flaws BY ALEX GUYTON

The Daily Wildcat

I read the science-fiction novel that the film “Ender’s Game” is based on — way back in my glory days of seventh grade at Hillcrest Middle School — and I distinctly recall not liking the book. For whatever reason, 13-yearold me was just not too keen on the plot, the characters or anything in between. I found it an unbearable chore to read. Surprisingly, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. My recollection of the plot is a bit fuzzy, but from what I can recall, the movie seems like an authentic adaptation. In the future, humanity has come into contact with an alien race called the Formic (think of an eight-foot-tall hybrid of an ant and a praying mantis). After two battles between the warring factions, things have been quiet for roughly 50 years. To prepare for the Formics’ inevitable return, the governments of Earth have decided to train their most gifted youth to become war tacticians. Andrew “Ender” Wiggin (Asa Butterfield) is one of these children. Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) sees Ender as humanity’s final hope, and recommends him to Battle School. The movie, via Colonel Graff, beats you over the head with the notion that Ender is the “one.” This is nothing new to the epic-

war-battle movie as there’s almost always a “chosen one” who will lead everybody to the promised land or defeat some evil wizard that’s missing a nose. The question doesn’t become so much whether our hero will be victorious, but how they will overcome the distinct and different challenges in their path. Graff makes Ender out to be a social pariah in Battle School, but Ender is able to rally a group of friends that look up to him, including Petra (Hailee Steinfeld). Ender excels in Battle School and is promoted to Command School, where he leads simulation games against Formic ships. There are several revelations at the end that I won’t spoil, but they are definitely effective. The action sequences are the best in a scifi film this year. In Battle School, students are part of armies that face off against one another in a zero gravity arena, with the main goal being to get one of your soldiers through the enemy’s gate. There are lasers and neon-lit obstacles, with bodies floating upside-down and rightside-up to make for a visual spectacle. In Command School, Ender’s final simulation against the Formic is a battle that delivers in every way a climactic setpiece should. For what has been marketed as your typical big-budget, special effects-laden Hollywood

SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT

sci-fi blockbuster, “Ender’s Game” has more going for it than you might expect. Butterfield does a fairly remarkable job as the titular character. I specifically remember not caring much for the book because most of the characters, specifically Ender, seemed cold and unfeeling. Butterfield is able to find the balance between a calculating, ruthless tactician and a tortured, compassionate soul. He’s a rich character, and Butterfield does him justice. Ford, as the unrelenting Colonel Graff who pushes Ender to his limits, delivers a performance that draws attention to the

uncompromising, yet necessary, nature of the military. The movie flirts with the moral question on whether ends justify the means. Sure, Ender is the best chance that the human race has, but should he be subject to physical, mental and emotional abuse? Should a mere child, no matter how capable, be responsible for saving and killing billions? The film raises these questions and comes close to making a powerful point, but ultimately shies away. Furthermore, the film really emphasizes the importance of Ender’s relationship with his older siblings, Peter (Jimmy Pinchak) and Valentine (Abigail Breslin). Peter is your typical older brother who beats up on Ender and Valentine is the kind, gentle soul who Ender loves most in this world. Both Peter’s violence and Valentine’s nurturing have profound effects on Ender throughout the movie, yet there are only a handful of scenes with Ender and his siblings. If I’m going to buy that these characters are so incredibly paramount, they need to be in the film more. The end of “Ender’s Game” strongly hints that there will be a sequel, which I welcome. With “Elysium” failing to live up to its potential and “Star Trek Into Darkness” not taking any risks, “Ender’s Game” might be the best sci-fi film of the year. If only it had plunged more into its weighty themes, it would have been something truly spectacular. Grade:
