UA campus safety is questioned BY ANNA LUDLUM

The Daily Wildcat

There have been multiple reported incidents of assault against women on campus, raising the question of overall campus safety. The University of Arizona Police Department released a Campus Watch report on Sunday around 5 p.m. regarding an assault incident that occurred earlier in the day at 1:30 p.m. According to the report, a

female UA student was walking near 1100 E. Lowell St. when an unknown man approached her from behind, grabbing her and punching her. As a result, she was knocked down; the woman defended herself by kicking and punching the man until he ran away. According to the report, the suspect is described as a 20- to 30-year-old male with short, brown spikey hair who was wearing jeans. On Oct. 21, Sheridan Fidelman, a journalism sophomore, was

harassed by a homeless man in the parking lot outside her sorority house, Alpha Epsilon Phi, on Mountain Avenue. Fidelman held out her phone to show the man the time per his request while maintaining her distance. She said the man frantically seized her upper arm as she drew her arm back to continue on her way. Fidelman said she believed the man to not be in his right mind,

and her observations dictated her reaction. “I was scared he had a weapon on him,” Fidelman said. “So, I just calmly tried to stand still.” She said she escaped the man’s grasp and ran inside her sorority house to inform her house mother. Fidelman’s attack occurred within visibility of other students and cars that drove past her, but she said no one intervened.

ASADENA, Calif. — Late in Arizona football’s 17-7 loss at UCLA on Saturday, UA redshirt freshman quarterback Anu Solomon was forced to switch to No. 18. The change seemed to be

symbolic, as Solomon and the Arizona offense was just off. Solomon, who had led Arizona to 5-0 and 6-1 starts, had the worst game of his college career as the No. 21 Wildcats (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12 Conference) lost at the Rose Bowl. Solomon was 18-for-48 for 175 yards, a career low, through the air, with a touchdown and an interception. He was 7-for-20 in the fourth quarter, the period that he usually owns. On Saturday, UA head coach Rich Rodriguez said he wasn’t sure

game going into the matchup with the Bruins, but struggled to put up the seven it scored Saturday night. The Wildcats only scored on their first drive, on a 14-yard pass to redshirt sophomore receiver Cayleb Jones. However, that drive only continued because of 30 yards worth of penalties by UCLA sophomore linebacker Myles Jack. “Well, the offense was poor, it was poorly called, poorly executed and poorly played,” Rodriguez said.

The most Arizona had to punt this year before Saturday was eight.

UA PROFESSOR Anita Bhappu speaks about her recently launched website, Sharing Tribes, during an interview in her office on Oct. 27. Sharing Tribes was founded on the premise of creating a forum where people in a community can trade household items.

Launched on Oct. 24, Sharing Tribes is a website founded by UA professor Anita Bhappu that markets a social networking platform for developing employee rapport and reducing unnecessary consumption. The home page of Sharing Tribes states its goal is to bring “collaborative consumption to the workplace to build employee engagement.” “Next year will be pretty much dedicated to getting it in the hands of some really different but important groups, you know, communities, to essentially work with it and work with us and see if it’s working right,” Bhappu said. The product is structured to allow people within a community or workplace to easily trade, lend or borrow household goods or services while also building relationships with those people. “The website [is] just our first coming out of the closet moment where we’ve essentially tried to put together an

Ellen McMahon teaches her students to learn the importance of environmental issues through the use of design and art at the UA. She has been teaching “Critical Issues in Design” for nearly 20 years, and soon the course will be renamed to “Art, Design and Science.” The students collaborate with UA scientists on their projects with the goal of creating visual responses to the science they will work with. McMahon asks her students what they care about and what they want to change. Students must then create a solution to the problem they feel the most passionate about by analyzing it and figuring out what needs to be done to make it better. “They are able to make choices that are more in line with their own values,” McMahon said. McMahon originally started her career out in science and majored in biology. Her mother was an artist, and McMahon found her passion for art while she was working in the biology field. “I began drawing out the animals,” McMahon said, “and I realized that what I really loved was closely observing them and drawing them.”

News • Monday, November 3, 2014 Sgt. Peter Dugan, Tucson Police Department spokesman, said a man drove up beside the female student and asked for directions. The student reported to police officers that the man was naked, and he reached out toward her from the driver’s seat to the passenger window where she stood before he drove away. The case was forwarded to the Adult Sexual Assault Detail, as the investigation continues. Lori Shaffer, a public health junior, was unaware of the three separate campus assaults and wondered why the stories hadn’t circulated around campus following the assaults. “Why weren’t people, like, ‘Hey, watch out for that truck [or] car! There is a naked guy running around,’” Shaffer said. Barrera said UAlerts sent to subscribers are designated for specific immediate threats, such as natural disasters, active harm and incidents involving immediate danger to an individual or by an armed person. Timely notification to police is important in order to notify the UA Campus Emergency Response Team. UACERT issues UAlerts. UACERT determines each incident on a case-by-case basis in order for students and staff to not become desensitized to the text messages by UAlerts. “We really want people to understand that they have a police department on campus, which is specifically for them,” Barrera said.

“If I saw anyone, even if I knew them or not, I would have definitely jumped out and been, like, ‘Are you OK?’ at least, even if that was rude,” Fidelman said. Later that night, Fidelman saw the same homeless man near the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center. According to the UA 2014 Annual Campus Safety, Security and Fire Safety report, there were nine reported forcible sex offenses on campus and 19 reported forcible sex offenses off campus. Sgt. Filbert Barrera, public information officer for the UAPD, said the campus police department needs students to understand that if they see or hear of anything weird, to inform UAPD immediately. Barrera said the UAPD needs information from students even if the scenario includes overhearing an unusual story and witnessing an incident that seems peculiar. The same week of Fidelman’s attack, two female students reported unrelated assaults. Cierra Vollmer, a journalism sophomore, said in a statement to News 4 Tucson that a man who was dripping in sweat tried to enter the front door of her Pi Beta Phi sorority house soliciting sexual favors, requested to look inside their refrigerator and made sexual hand motions. The Pi Beta Phi sorority sisters were contacted regarding this story and were unable to comment due to the ongoing investigation. The other incident involved an unidentified female UA student around Park Avenue and Mabel Street, according to a police report.

She came to the UA as a biologist in 1980, having received a teaching assistantship in general biology, and completely changed careers to become a scientific illustrator. “The UA has been so good to me,” McMahon said. As a graduate student, McMahon taught biology 101, and almost immediately after graduating, she was hired to teach as an adjunct at the UA in the design department. In 1990, she was hired as a tenure track professor. “What’s been great for me is the freedom that I have had to develop my own work, research and teaching within the School of Art,” McMahon said. McMahon teaches her design students the importance of ecology. Everything that is being used comes from somewhere, and everything they make ends up in the trash. “That trash has different effects,” McMahon said. McMahon said she wants her students to understand the waste stream and supply lines and stress as being important for everyone. One of the various projects McMahon is currently working on involves the issue of forest die-off. “Climate change is really going to trump any other problem we have,” McMahon said. According to McMahon, 20 percent of the forests in the Southwest are already dead. There are many factors to blame for die-off, but McMahon said she believes the 1.5-degree rise in temperature is the main cause. “The Southwest is going to feel the effects of climate change sooner and harder than any other place in the United States,” she said. McMahon added that she classifies herself as an unconventional designer. Her work is primarily involved with photography, drawing, video, book design and project directing. “As a designer, I [now] think in terms of networking people,” McMahon said. She said she would classify her work as “social design,” because she brings scientists, designers, artists, institutions and grants together to work on projects that benefit

1) The police of St. Louis County requested restricted airspace in Ferguson because they wanted to prevent news helicopters from covering the situation, according to audio recordings obtained by the Associated Press. The recordings involve Federal Aviation Administration officials speaking about how the authorities in Ferguson requested specific restrictions that would still allow commercial and police aircrafts in the area, but would specifically “keep the media out.” The St. Louis County police said that the restrictions were solely for the safety of those in the town.

Currently, McMahon is working a collaborative project with scientists that study forest die-off in the Southwest. They will be exhibiting their work in the UA Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research. “To get art, design and science on a certain issue, and have them all work the way they work is the ideal situation,” she said.

Bhappu is on sabbatical this semester, and Sharing Tribes is her research piece. “If you have this kind of tool, does it indeed make you a better consumer? That’s my research view,” she said. “A lot of science has gone into what we have designed.” The name Sharing Tribes relates this product to the way people in tribes used to behave. “It’s a practice we’ve all engaged in for millennia,” Bhappu said. “That’s how people survived in their tribes

Why don’t you lend or borrow stuff from people you know?’ And when you look at the answers to that, those are all the things we’ve designed the technology to solve.”

Testimony reliance unsettles US courts BY LIZZIE HANNAH The Daily Wildcat

or a country that advertises itself as a protector of liberty and a bastion of freedom, the U.S. incarcerates a staggering number of its own citizens. The current prison population in the U.S. is over 2 million, exceeding that of China. This statistic constitutes an astounding feat, given that the total population of China is more than four times that of the U.S. Moreover, the U.S. consistently incarcerates citizens at a higher rate than almost every other country in the world — including Iran, Russia and North Korea. Again, this fact makes a mockery out of the “fundamental” commitment to justice in the U.S. The most deeply troubling aspect of the overwhelming prison population is the following: the Innocence Project estimates that between 2.3 and 5 percent of prisoners in the U.S. were wrongfully convicted. Those percentages seem small? Let’s restate that in simpler terms. Between 40,000 and 100,000 U.S. prisoners are innocent, convicted and serving sentences for crimes they did not commit. Which aspects of our criminal justice system created this massive injustice? Certainly, it is the result of many factors. Mandatory minimum sentencing laws, for instance, establish the minimum number of years a defendant must serve in prison for being convicted of a specific crime. Such laws often cause innocent defendants to plead guilty, because the consequences of losing at trial are devastating. Furthermore, defendants who cannot afford top-tier lawyers may receive inadequate council, government officials may act unethically and forensic evidence may be faulty. All of these issues could send an innocent person to prison, especially one who is black or Hispanic and thus susceptible to the consequences of institutionalized racism. The single greatest cause of wrongful convictions, however, is faulty eyewitness testimony. We tend to uphold eyewitnesses as infallible sources of evidence in criminal cases. Yet, according to the Innocence Project, eyewitness misidentifications have accounted for 72 percent of convictions later overturned by DNA evidence nationwide. Elizabeth Loftus, professor of social ecology at the University of California, Irvine, has conducted extensive research regarding what she describes as “false memories.” In a presentation at the James E. Rogers College of Law on Oct. 22, Loftus explained it is easy for memories to be altered, or even fabricated, by various social influences. She went on to describe how the human memory, highly susceptible to manipulation, can negatively impact trial outcomes. A witness might incorrectly remember an event, causing them to offer false, misleading and potentially damaging testimony. Loftus noted that misidentifications are particularly prevalent in cross-racial testimonies where a white witness must identify a black defendant or vice versa. “Loftus’ research shows how faulty memory can be a cause of wrongful convictions,” said Christopher Robertson, associate professor at the College of Law. “Even the defendants sometimes sincerely believe that they committed the crimes and confess to doing so, even though genetic information later shows that this is false.” Immediate action should be taken to reduce the number of eyewitness misidentifications in criminal cases. The Innocence Project recommends a number of reforms, including increasing access to DNA testing during trial and mandating that witnesses sign “confidence statements,” in which they would explicitly articulate their level of confidence in their identification. Such procedural modifications might help rectify the unconscionable deprivation of freedom being manifested by a judicial system that is supposed to administer justice. Ultimately, it is the courts’ responsibility to implement changes to reduce the level of emphasis placed on eyewitness testimonies during criminal cases. After all, as Loftus eloquently stated, “Memory, like liberty, is a fragile thing.”

Black hair not a battlefield BY NICK HAVEY

The Daily Wildcat

don’t know if it’s because we never really had royalty and our politicians (read: the first family) are too politicized to be idolized — but Americans sure are obsessed with celebrities. In our obsession, we’ve created a disgusting need to judge celebrities from afar for their parenting and physical appearances. That need is two-fold in the hate that Blue Ivy Carter, the adorable, genetically gifted offspring of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, receives. Blue Ivy Carter is a toddler. She is not a grown woman and, as a child, has decisions made for her. One decision being made for her is how she wears her hair: naturally. Who knows why people think they have the right to criticize black women’s hair, much less the hair of a toddler? (OK, it’s centuries of institutionalized racism and black women being viewed as aesthetic abnormalities.) In June, a Change.org petition was filed in the hopes that Beyoncé would do something about Blue Ivy’s hair. Doing something about it being: “altering it to conform to a white aesthetic of beauty that values ridiculous, time consuming, often painful and certainly expensive hairstyles over natural ones.” “This matter has escalated to the child developing matted dreads and

lint balls,” reads the petition, which unprofessional by white people, now has almost 6,000 supporters. who have then forced this view “Please let’s get the word out to upon people of color as some properly care for Blue Ivy hair.” twisted standard of beauty. History Besides the fact that claim has had its fair share of examples is completely ridiculous — it is corroborating this stereotyped abundantly clear that Blue Ivy does point of view, too, and they just keep not have matted dreads or lint balls happening. — the real shame is in the petition’s In 2009, the media referred to comments. Both women of color Malia Obama as ghetto trash for and white people felt the need to daring to rock natural twists.

subjected to costly and hardto-maintain haircuts because a few stodgy old white men don’t understand that not everyone can have a crew cut. “I’ve been told I’m lucky to have nice hair,” said Nicole Bradford, a creative writing and physiology senior who identifies as mixed race, referencing her naturally loose curls. “I wasn’t ever told that it was OK to disagree with that idea [that natural black hair is less than nice] until I learned to admire black women and their hair in all its forms. And yes, I did have to learn to admire black women. Thanks, society.” So, lay off Blue Ivy, and lay off women of color and women in general. Their hairstyles are their own choices, and deciding not to chemically relax a toddler’s hair does not constitute child abuse. The control that white people and people who are not affected by black hair feel the need to exert over it is ridiculous; it is manipulative, and it is destructive to the selfesteem of individuals who, in so many other arenas, are already being told they aren’t good enough. Maybe participating in Jessica Williams’ intensive Operation Black Hair boot camp from “The Daily Show” should be mandatory.

Innovative loans liberate students BY CASEY HOYACK The Daily Wildcat

wo companies named Pave and Upstart have recently been attracting a lot of attention. Why should college students

care? Pave and Upstart are in the business of human capital contracts, an innovative way for people to borrow money instead of the conventional loan system. These contracts do not require the return of the principle plus interest. Instead, borrowers are called “talent” and “upstarts” who pledge a portion of their future income to their prospective borrower in return for the capital investment necessary to pay for college or for a business start-up. The system would ensure that becoming tied down to loans would not be the only option for struggling college students. The novelty of human capital contracts is that they completely avoid the bureaucratic and costly system of borrowing loans. A needy borrower is seen as an investment opportunity on the part of the potential lender. Sounds like

a good idea, right? But critics call this a form of technological “indentured servitude,” which is just another form of human commodification. In reality, it is no different than the current system but without the difficult process of getting loans, either for college or for business start-ups. A person’s ability to get money from a lender is not based on their financial record, but on their future potential. This is great for college students, especially if they lack a substantial credit history. That idea is what companies like Pave were founded on. “We thought human capital contracts were a better option for a lot of people,” said Oren Bass, the co-founder of Pave and a former employee at Goldman Sachs, in an article on vice.com. “It was an opportunity to have a profound socioeconomic effect by giving people access to funding that they’ve never had before.” Pave brought in $7,000 for a novelty-necktie startup and $50,000 for a production company. Currently, only accredited investors with a net worth in the millions and significant annual incomes can buy into potential borrowers on sites like Pave and Upstart, according to Business Insider.We need to incentivize this possibility in order for it to work. Until then, loans will be the default. And

nobody knows how much loans suck more than college students. So far, the idea of human capital contracts seems to be getting some attention in Congress. Both Democrats and Republicans have offered legislation that would open the door for human capital contracts to pay a college student’s education. The best option, I believe, comes from a proposal from the American Enterprise Institute which would create exemptions in the tax code for human capital contracts, making it an attractive option for potential lenders. Until these exemptions are put on the books, students will not be able to reap the benefits of human capital contracts. It is time that we treat students as opportunities and not risks, all while preventing government loans from being the only option. In reality — contradictory to what opponents might say — human capital contracts are more about investment and opportunity than human commodification.

Police Beat BY Ariella Noth

The Daily Wildcat

‘I have plenty’

A UA student was arrested for shoplifting at the UA Bookstore on Oct. 23. A University of Arizona Police Department officer was dispatched to the bookstore around 2 p.m. Upon arrival, the officer met with a loss prevention staff member who said he had observed a man via video surveillance take a UA baseball jersey off its hanger and put it in his backpack. The loss prevention officer said the man then walked out of the front door of the bookstore. He stopped the man outside the UA Mall and brought him back to the bookstore to wait for officers to arrive. The officer identified the man by his CatCard, and was also provided with his date of birth and state of residence. The officer used this information to conduct a records check on the individual. The male student appeared nervous and told the officer he had never been in legal trouble before. The man was read his Miranda rights and was asked if he understood them; he said yes. The officer then asked for the male student’s account of what had happened. He told the officer he had previously owned the same type of jersey but that it had been stolen at a party. The officer asked him if he had removed the jersey from the hanger and placed it in his backpack, which the male student said he did. The officer also asked the individual if he left the store with the jersey in his backpack, and the male student again said he did. The officer then asked him if he had enough money to pay for the jersey, and he said, “Yeah, I have plenty of money.” The individual was then cited and released for shoplifting. He was referred to the Dean of Students Office for a code of conduct violation.

Backpacking heat

A UA student reported the theft of his backpack containing a loaded handgun on Oct. 23. A UAPD officer arrived on the scene and made contact with the reporting party. The reporting party informed the officer he locked his bike to the bike racks outside of the Henry Koffler building earlier in the day. He also informed the officer that he had also locked his backpack to his bike. The individual described the backpack for the officer and said there were two handles on the bag that he would place a padlock through and lock onto his bike lock. He said that without the key to the padlock, the backpack would have had to been cut off the lock. The individual told the officer the backpack contained various items, including clothing, first-aid materials, assorted tools and a loaded handgun. He told the officer the gun carried six bullets in the magazine. He said there were six hollow point bullets in the magazine and one in the chamber, totaling seven rounds. The individual told the officer that around 3:30 p.m., the backpack was still locked to the bike. However, upon his return at 9 p.m., the backpack was missing. He told the officer he did not bring the handgun to school on a daily basis; he carried it off campus and had forgotten to take it out of his backpack from the day before. He explained he realized the gun was still in his backpack after arriving on campus, and because he thought it was a criminal offense to bring firearms into school buildings, he decided to leave it in his backpack locked to his bicycle. A Student Code of Conduct was filled out and sent to the Dean of Students Office.

No. 15 Arizona volleyball finished the weekend with one win and one loss, falling to Colorado in four sets (1525, 25-18, 20-25, 18-15) on Friday night and defeating Utah on Saturday night in straight sets (25-19, 25-23, 25-14). After the weekend, the Wildcats have a record of 18-6, 7-5 in the Pac-12 Conference. Against Colorado, Arizona consistently struggled, despite senior outside hitter Madi Kingdon’s 19 kills. Although they outdug the Buffaloes 64-59, sophomore setter Penina Snuka’s 15 digs led the way for the Wildcats, contributing to her 17th double-double of the season, along with 36 assists. For the Buffaloes, senior outside hitter Taylor Simpson led the way with 17 kills, along with junior outside hitter Alexis Austin’s 16 kills. The Colorado game was one that the Wildcats were expected to win. In fact, it was the second time this

season that the Buffaloes took advantage of Arizona. In the earlier game, the Wildcats were swept, and they weren’t any more successful in this match. In the first set, Arizona jumped off to an early lead of 11-8 before Colorado made 11 straight points, completely taking the Wildcats off guard. The UA took a 10-3 run to win the second set. In the third and fourth sets, the Buffaloes capitalized on momentum and runs, which is what killed the Wildcats throughout the match. After their disappointing loss to Colorado, the Wildcats needed to come out strong against a struggling Utah team, and boy did they ever. Their straight sets victory will definitely bring some confidence back as their schedule will only get tougher. Against Utah, Kingdon and sophomore outside hitter Ashley Harris led the way with 14 and 13 kills, respectively. The Wildcats hit .296 in the match, which

“You can start with the coaching staff.” The offense spoiled a career night by sophomore linebacker Scooby Wright III, who had career-highs in tackles (19) and tackles for loss (4.5) and matched his career-best in sacks (3.0). Arizona’s defense, which was giving up 28.3 points per game going into the UCLA contest, only surrendered 17. The No. 18 Bruins (7-2, 4-2) average 35.8 points per game. “The defense gave us plenty of opportunities, and we didn’t take advantage of it,” Jones said. Despite the troubles, Arizona had a chance late to work some typical Rodriguez and Solomon magic. Following a UCLA fumble, Arizona had the ball with 4:32 left. The Wildcats were down by 10, but that’s plenty of time for a team that had outscored opponents 80-59 in the fourth quarter before Saturday. Instead of tying the game or winning it on the last two drives, the Wildcats finished the game with a blocked field goal and an interception. Usually, the Wildcats capitalize on opponents’ mistakes. Going into this game, they had scored 41 points off of turnovers, while foes had only scored three.

The Bruins committed an embarrassing 11 penalties for 118 yards, but the Wildcats didn’t punish them for it. Part of the Wildcats’ problem was being onedimensional; they only ran for 80 yards. Against UCLA, Solomon ran for eight yards on 10 carries. A lot of that is due to being sacked three times and losing 27 yards. Solomon was under constant pressure on Saturday, but he actually looked his best running the ball, evading tacklers. Solomon’s previous worst game as a Wildcat was when he was 17-for-32 at UTSA for 231 yards. However, he bounced back the next week against Nevada, going 22-for-26 for 278 yards. At UTSA, he only ran for 11 yards, but against the Wolf Pack, he ran for 60 yards on seven carries. Coincidence? Maybe, but if Solomon ran more, that would open up more space to pass. To regain the form that had them as No. 6 in the nation in total offense before going to UCLA, the Wildcats need to run the ball more. Then Solomon would be recognizable no matter what number he wears.

Arizona soccer (10-6-2, 4-5-1 Pac-12 Conference) split its twogame set on the road this weekend when it defeated the Utah Utes on Friday before falling Sunday to the Colorado Buffaloes. The Wildcats entered the game as the No. 23 team in the RPI rankings and, despite the loss at Colorado, should still be good in standing for NCAA Tournament consideration. Sunday’s match versus the Buffaloes saw the Wildcats trail for almost the entire game before eventually falling 3-1. Colorado got on the board first in only the sixth minute when senior midfielder Darcy Jerman converted on a penalty kick after a foul by Arizona in the 18-yard box. Both teams created a handful of opportunities in the rest of the half, but saves from the two goalkeepers and a ball off the crossbar from Jerman kept it 1-0 going into the locker rooms. Just after halftime, Colorado doubled its lead when Colorado freshman forward Brittney Stark broke away from an Arizona defender and beat Arizona senior goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman oneon-one in the 53rd minute. The Wildcats were able to cut the deficit in half when a Colorado defender was called for a handball in the 18-yard box, leading to a perfectly hit penalty kick from Arizona freshman Gabi Stoian in the 72nd minute. Arizona continued to press for the equalizer, and sophomore midfielder Jaden DeGracie’s flip throw-ins gave the Buffaloes some fits defensively, but Colorado goalkeeper Kate Scheele denied the Wildcats several times. A counterattack from the Buffaloes in the 88th minute put the game away as Arizona failed to defend its goal from Oregon junior forward Madison Krauser. Friday afternoon’s game in Salt Lake City was more successful for Arizona, with the Wildcats pulling out a close 2-1 victory. It was a slow first half for both teams, with neither being able to convert on a few quality looks at the goal. The Wildcats outshot the Utes in the first 45 minutes 6-4 with two shots actually challenging Utah goalkeeper Lindsey Luke. Things began to open up in the second half, starting with a cross by DeGracie from the wing that found Stoian alone at the far post, where she easily finished in the 51st minute. Utah equalized a little less than 10 minutes later when a shot

too. It doesn’t take into account those who came back from injury (Tyrann Matheiu) or battled through smaller injuries (Calais Campbell) to produce. Despite the adversity associated with starters getting injured, that next man up mentality has suited the Cardinals perfectly in their unlikely emergence as Super Bowl contenders. When Washington went down, youngster Kevin Minter and veteran Larry Foote took the challenge head on. They’ve done such a solid job that Washington hasn’t been missed nearly as much as anticipated. Add in the performances of Tommy Kelly, Tony Jefferson, Drew Stanton and Jerraud Powers, and this Cardinals team is one that could capture the hearts of the nation come February. It’s been a fantastic coaching job from the duo of head coach Bruce Arians and defensive coordinator Todd Bowles. Arians and Bowles have largely deflected praise for their hot start to the front office. With Arians, this is almost deja vu of his time with the 2012 Indianapolis Colts. That Colts team lost 13 players to season-ending IR and lost its head coach, Chuck Pagano, who had to head out for leukemia treatments. Arians stepped in as the interim coach and went

ould the Arizona Cardinals become the first NFL team to ever play in its home stadium for a Super Bowl? With the 2015 Super Bowl to take place at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, there’s a real chance this could happen. The Cardinals defeated the Dallas Cowboys 28-17 on Sunday to improve to 7-1 on the season, the best record in the entire NFL. Behind a defense that has adopted a next man up mentality, the Cardinals have gone against the odds in their rise to the top. Just this season alone, the Cardinals have seen countless impact players suffer injuries. Inside linebacker Daryl Washington was suspended for the entire season, defensive end Darnell Dockett tore his ACL, outside backer John Abraham was placed on injured reserve, and quarterback Carson Palmer had to sit out three games due to a nerve issue. These are just the four most obvious cases of major injuries,

was their best hitting percentage since Oct. 8, against California. Harris was able to hit a .464 hitting percentage, and senior outside hitter Taylor Arizobal hit a .438 hitting percentage. Ronni Lewis had 19 digs for the Wildcats. In the first set, Kingdon picked up nine kills on only 16 swings, giving the Wildcats an opening set win. In the second set, Arizona overcame a low .171 hitting percentage to break a 23-23 tie. Freshman outside hitter and rightside hitter Adora Anae had just 11 kills for the Utah Utes, as they had 22 errors in total during the match. That has been the story throughout the entire season for the Utes, who have had trouble consistently in the

The Wildcats faced the Cardinal earlier in the season, losing to it in four sets. Stanford is undefeated this season at 20-0 and boasts the No. 1 ranking in the country into every match. With just eight more matches until the start of the NCAA Tournament First Round, the Wildcats will have to continue to win tough and close matches, especially if they want to maintain their top-25 ranking.

No cars allowed at Cyclovia Tucson BY Chelsea Cook The Daily Wildcat

A network of streets around central Tucson was closed on Sunday to make way for people to bike, walk, run, skate and participate in different types of activities at the seventh annual Cyclovia Tucson event. Taking place mainly along Fourth Avenue, from Seventh Street to Delano Street, Cyclovia featured four main hubs along the route at which you could stop to participate in activities, buy food or watch various performances. Stopping along Sixth Avenue, Fourth Avenue, Mansfield Park and Keeling Neighborhood, the activities branched beyond these four areas, spreading along the route so that there was always something to do. Many different groups came out to set up stands alongside the route. According to the official Cyclovia Tucson website, the organizations that hosted activities on the sidelines included Beyond Bread, Recreational Equipment Inc, Carrington College, the UA, the Humane Society of Southern Arizona and many more. The activities put on by these groups included everything from free samples to bounce houses and even a canine kissing booth. Not only were there fun games and performances, but there were also food trucks that sold Sonoran SnoBalls to Haus of Brats and Foodie Fleet. Kylie Walzak, coordinator of Cyclovia, said there were over 50 free activities hosted along the 2.6-

mile route. There was definitely something for everyone. One of the more innovative events at this Cyclovia was “Cinco for Cyclovia!” For this activity, participants picked up a bingo sheet at one of four information booths and had to visit five specific group activities in order to get a bingo. After finishing this scavenger hunt, participants turned in their completed sheets and were entered to win prizes, which included a new bike or biking accessories. The last Cyclovia Tucson, which

occurred this past April, had a turnout of around 20,000 people. For this event, it was predicted that around 25,000-30,000 people turned out. The higher turnout was because this route winded through multiple neighborhoods “where people are walking and biking for transportation in greater rates,” Walzak said. Cyclovia Tucson is still relatively new. Its first event was put on in spring 2010 and only had a turnout of 5,000 people. The main reason the first Cyclovia event occurred was to improve the

quality of life in the community and to encourage people to be more physically active. The first group to oversee the event, the Cyclovia Steering Committee, came up with six goals to guide its development over time: enhance the brand and identity of greater Tucson as a progressive urban community; increase the health and activity of Tucson area residents; promote and increase awareness for cycling and walking as a safe mode of travel on public streets; increase neighborhood mobility, livability

and access; provide a unique and sociable, fun experience for citizens; and provide a free public event affordable for all. Over time, the Cyclovia Tucson event has grown in both the number of participants and number of affiliated organizations. Walzak said she expects it to continue to grow in the coming years.

Robots, sports and lasers: 5 classes to take next semester

BY Kevin C. Reagan The Daily Wildcat

Students have yet to recover from midterms, and academic advisers have already begun sending out emails reminding them to register for classes for next semester. As students aim to make the perfect schedule — i.e., avoid Friday classes — they may overlook some courses that get lost in the shuffle. Here are some classes worth throwing in your shopping cart for the time being: 1. GWS 260 — Sex, Gender and Technology This may be the only class oncampus where one can hear about robots and sex toys during the same lecture. Exploring the everchanging boundaries between humans and machines, this course discusses various topics such as reconstructive surgery and assisted reproductive technology. The instructor, Eva Hayward, specializes in marine ecology research and studies how humans project their attitudes toward sex onto animals. This course may make it difficult determining who or what is leading the next sexual revolution. 2. GEOG 270 — Sports Geographies The placement of McKale Center

may never have been thought of as being socio-economically strategic. This class aims to reveal how the geographical sites of sports stadiums convey the individual and national identities of a given country. Using the Olympic Games and World Cup as examples, the course’s objective is to analyze the political and economical factors being calculated behind the game. 3. HIST 278 — Medieval Answers to Modern Problems Joan of Arc is no Jennifer Lawrence in terms of cultural relevancy for millennials, but this course attempts to highlight how figures of the Middle Ages are capable of solving the ethical debates facing us today. Using texts such as “The Divine Comedy” as examples, the instructor, Albrecht Classen, tries to teach his students how the time of the Dark Ages was actually one of great enlightenment. The recipient of the Arizona Professor of the Year award in 2012, Classen is at least worth a try. 4. OPTI 200 — Light, Color and Vision For all liberal arts students who dread having to complete their Tier Two Natural Sciences requirement, this course is specifically designed for non-

science majors. Requiring only basic math skills, this class gives students plenty of hands-on learning with lasers, telescopes and cameras. It also helps that the instructor, Michael Nofziger, leads many K-12 outreach programs outside the UA, so there should be a good amount of coddling for those fearful of science. 5. DVP 611 — Global Health Case Studies and Community Responses With all the media coverage about disease outbreaks in West Africa, this graduate-level class is appropriate for those not afraid of venturing into developing countries to help those in dire need. Mark Nichter, the course instructor, has been conducting research around the world for over 30 years, and is currently working on a project helping people with Buruli ulcers in West Africa. Nichter will have students spend the semester researching various problems plaguing children in developing countries and then coming up with solutions to combat them. This seems like a great class to preface those interested in joining the Peace Corps after college.

Upon first entering the TusCon convention on Saturday, one was most likely greeted by men dressed in Star Trek uniforms, a nice piece of symbolism for those about to journey “where no man has gone before.” Conversations about all things scifi, fantasy and horror were buzzing around the Hotel Tucson City Center InnSuites Conference Suite Resort. Some were debates between friends mulling over the inspiration for the TV show “Firefly” or George R. R. Martin adaptations. Some conversations would spill into the topics of others, each as stimulating and focused as the next. Up the staircase in the lobby were the two rooms for Panel Room 1, where conversations such as these were held along with panels. By far, this room remained one of the busiest and most active rooms throughout the day. Across it was the room for viewing anime, a different one starting every hour. The Dealer’s Room was where one could find a plethora of books, including some from Doctor Who that dealt mostly with the classic series. There were also several interesting jewelry, soaps, trinkets, book T-shirts and more. One section featured small, white folded paper taped to the shelves; inside the fold was the crux of an amusing joke that made for good entertainment while browsing. Next door was the Art Room, where artists, panels on artists of

all kinds and the art auction were housed. The auction was silent: You could leave a bid amount and a name on pieces displaying colorful pictures of cats and dragons. While wandering around the convention from panel to panel or just lounging around, eating, you could see the joy on people’s faces as they essentially spent an entire weekend ecstatic for doing something they loved and attending panels that stimulate thoughts on their nerdy passions. One of the events toward the end of the day was a panel on the work of meteorite expert Geoffrey Notkin. After his panel, there was a mass autograph session with other authors. The room had a steady flow of people going in and out as fans conversed with their favorite authors and expressed delight in their work. Although the rest of the night was filled with film screenings until early the next morning and a live performance by The Whiskey Bards, if one had poked their head into the ballroom around 6 p.m., they would have been treated to an entertaining sight: a hilarious, spontaneous photo session with two ladies and a lightsaber. After a long day, it was easy to leave with a sense of contentment and belonging provided by passionate fans and artists.
