Football Playoff contenders with one week to go.

“We’ve been telling the team, really just every weekend, that we’re in a position to reach just about every goal,” UA football head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “You got a chance to win a championship and that’s pretty neat.”

Arizona moved up to No. 8 in the AP rankings on Sunday. The second to last College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday.

Last year, the Northwestern State band stood in for the Pride of Arizona at the AdvoCare V100 Bowl,

ASUA is currently working to make the student fee process more transparent and studentengaged at the UA. Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Issac Ortega said he wants to open up the conversation about student fees to the UA campus and let students know that they are working to enhance fee transparency.

The reform would come in three phases, Ortega said. The first would examine the best practices for fee transparency, including what students want to see on UAccess to explain the fees they are paying for.

Secondly, there would be a way for students to get involved in how the fees they pay are being put to use on campus.

“We want to create a way for students to get deeply involved with how fees are spent on our campus, and more student involvement and engagement when it comes to reviewing fees,” Ortega said. “Right now, our processes are all over the place, and student involvement is not where it can be.”

According to the UA Academic Affairs website, the current University Fees Committee is able to review requests for special class fees, deposits and academically related non-course fees and provides a recommendation for appropriate action.

According to the Bursar’s Office website, mandatory fees include the Arizona Financial Aid Trust Fee, Health and Recreation fee, Information Technology and Library fee, Student Media fee, Recreation Center Bond Retirement fee and Program fee, Student Services fee and Wildcat Events Board fee.

Undergraduate students who are taking seven units or more pay about $512 in mandatory fees each semester, while graduate students pay about $510.

ASUA pushes for fee clarity

Rather than a new TV or a new video game system, Arizona football picked up something more valuable on Black Friday: the Pac-12 South championship.

The No. 8 Wildcats (10-2, 7-2 Pac12 Conference) beat archrival and then-No. 13 ASU 42-35 on Friday to not only win the Territorial Cup and state bragging rights, but to also win their first ever Pac-12 South championship.

Arizona will now face No. 3 Oregon on Friday in the Pac-12 Championship Game at Levi’s

Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

“I’m really pleased with the direction of the football program,” UA athletic director Greg Byrne said, “and I think Arizona fans across the world, literally, are extremely excited about that too, so I can’t wait for this Friday.”

Arizona has never won an outright Pac-10 or Pac-12 championship. The best it has done was tying for the Pac10 title in 1993.

The UA has only won six conference championships ever. Arizona’s last conference championship was in 1936 in the Border Conference.

UA leaders against blood donation ban

Request to count ballots denied

BY ALYSSA SCHLITZER

The Daily Wildcat

BY CHRISTIANNA SILVA The Daily Wildcat

Arizona’s heavily disputed 2nd Congressional District midterm election is still in a recount after a judge struck down a lawsuit to count 133 ballots that had been rejected as ineligible.

In the original count, Republican Martha McSally was 161 votes ahead of Democratic incumbent Rep. Ron Barber.

Barber filed a lawsuit to stop the recount until 133 ballots from voters whom he claims were disenfranchised were counted.

U.S. District Judge Cindy Jorgenson denied the request on Thursday.

Jorgenson said in her decision that the court is sympathetic to the 133 voters whose ballots will not be counted but isn’t convinced not counting the ballots would “undermine the integrity” of the election, according to The Arizona Republic.

“Even if all 133 votes are counted, it is undisputed that Martha McSally wins the election because she leads by a margin of 161 votes at this time,” Jorgenson wrote in her decision.

Barber’s campaign expressed its disappointment after the ruling on Thursday.

“While we are disappointed in the court’s decision, we remain committed to ensuring that Southern Arizonans are able to trust the integrity of this election, and we thank the voters who not

In the U.S., gay men have been banned from donating blood for 31 years due to potential HIV risks, and UA student leaders have stated they think the ban is discriminatory.

Dissent against the ban stems from how individuals other than gay men may also be at risk for HIV, and the belief that with modern scientific advancements, the disease can be detected quickly and accurately.

According to the Red Cross website, the Red Cross supports the use of rational, scientifically-based findings that are applied fairly among donors who engage in similar risk activities, such as “men who have had sex with other men.”

The Red Cross follows the TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE Food and Drug Administration regulations and the Department PHLEBOTOMIST NANCY DEL CAMPO COLLECTS blood from Chase Wills, 36, who of Health and Human Services is donating blood at a Red Cross blood drive in West Hollywood, Calif., on July 11.

Keeping student-athletes in check

BY Crystal Bedoya The Daily Wildcat

rebecca noble/The Daily Wildcat

The door to the Albert and David Cohn Academic Service Center in the basement of McKale Center on Sunday. UA student-athletes attend tutoring sessions at the center.

Sarah Howard, academic counselor at CATS Academics, is one of the individuals who represent CATS Academics and contributes to the supervision of student-athletes. “[This] attendance policy came into effect when [Greg] Bryne became vice director of Student Athletics [a year ago],” Howard said.

CATS Academics is not only involved with tracking studentathletes’ academic performance, Howard said, but also with counselors and coaches.

For Arizona, the majority of sports are checked through this program, with the exception of golf, Mosbach added.

“All sports are represented in

this pool of students that are classchecked,” Mosbach said, “but it would not be every single student-athlete.”

Although there is no particular team that presents attendance issues, the implemented attendance policy allows teams that are significantly larger than others to remain tracked equally to others.

Student-athletes are aware that there are individuals making sure they keep their academics as a top priority.

MacKenzie Jaroch, a 2014 UA graduate who played Division I soccer during her freshman year and club soccer her remaining three years as an undergraduate, was a class checker during her last semester at

the UA. Through her time as a class checker, Jaroch said she never faced any difficulties with the studentathletes she was in charge of but realized the importance of her job.

“Student-athletes need to focus not only on their sport,” Jaroch said. “It’s a good way to keep them on guard so that they don’t shove their education under the rug and that they are able to focus and be successful on their sport, as well as academically.”

Daniels added that even if someone is unsure of what their HIV status is, they should still be able to have blood drawn, have it run through a screening system for eligibility and be notified if it cannot be used.

“I would love to donate blood, but I can’t,” he said. “I am in a deferral database, and that’s just because I answered yes to one question.”

Daniels said he is not high risk and has not had sex in over a year, so having to be abstinent for a year is a little extreme and unnecessary in determining risk.

Chris Sogge, the graduate assistant for the Office of LGBTQ Affairs, agreed with Daniels and said that since other sexual orientations do not have to be abstinent for a year to donate blood, gay men should not have to wait either, because it is not fair to single them out.

Sogge said he believes that this policy comes from an old idea that all gay men are “dirty” and has lasted way too long. This new suggestion is a start to giving them the chance to donate.

“I think the ban should be removed, because our medical technology has continued to increase at a standing rate,” Sogge said. “I think that it is even worse now to continue to deny people who simply want to help out.”

However, students are faced with a variety of other fees, including the most recent $50 iCourse fee, which is an added fee to all online courses and will be implemented in spring 2015.

“We want to make our mandatory fees as predictable as our tuition, [and] guaranteed tuition was a huge win for students,” Ortega said, discussing the last phase. “We all know if you start the university on day one, you pay that tuition until you graduate. I want to make sure that fees are the same thing.”

Arizona Board of Regents President Eileen Klein also discussed ways to make the fee-setting process more transparent at the regents meeting at Arizona State University on Nov. 20.

“I want to be sure that there is true oversight and accountability in the fee-making process,” Klein said. “There is room for improvement in how all fees are created and noticed. The whole fee process at the university itself needs some refinement.”

Klein said that out of the board of regents’ $4.5 billion budget, $3 billion is the true operating budget for the three in-state public universities.

Student fees represent 8 percent of the $3 billion.

The state of Arizona provides 25.5 percent of board’s budget, and the rest of that budget is funded by student tuition.

Klein said that involving students in the feesetting process is important, because students are responsible for funding more university operations

With the spotlight on their athletic performance, UA student-athletes are expected to perform both physically and academically, with Arizona Athletics conducting regular class checks on athletes.

As a part of the CATS Academics program, Arizona Athletics does regular class checks to aid with the development of a student-athlete’s academic skills.

According to the UA Department of Intercollegiate Athletics StudentAthlete Class/C.A.T.S. Academics Attendance Policy, attendance is mandatory so that student-athletes can achieve academic success during their time at the university.

John Mosbach, associate athletic director of CATS Academics, said the program has hired six primarily undergraduate students to be class checkers and keep track of studentathletes’ attendance. Class checkers are expected to arrive to classes 15 minutes before every class and stay 15 minutes after to make sure students were there the entire period.

“They are not interacting with professors, and they’re not interacting with student-athletes,” Mosbach said.

“We give them information [such as] a blurb and a picture to recognize the student.”

Mosbach said 80 classes are currently checked every week, and of those, there might be more than one student-athlete per class.

Three absences earn the studentathletes a warning, Mosbach said, and by the fourth, there are repercussions, such as suspension from their particular sport.

only took the time to vote in this election, but who came forward to ask that their voices be heard,” campaign manager Kyle QuinnQuesada said in a statement.

Lea Goodwine-Cesarec, one of the 133 voters, told The Arizona Republic she didn’t know she was at the wrong voting precinct, and no one told her, so she didn’t understand why her vote couldn’t be counted.

Kevin Hamilton, a lawyer for the campaign, argued at the hearing that voters did everything they were supposed to do. In cases such as Goodwine-Cesarec’s, Hamilton said the poll workers gave voters incorrect information, and that isn’t a good enough reason to discount their vote.

McSally attorney Eric Spencer disagreed with the Barber campaign and said some of the votes would still be ineligible based on state law.

Secretary of State Ken Bennett was a defendant in the suit and said counting the votes would set a precedent for rejected ballots in other counties. In Maricopa County, there are up to 700 ballots that would

“It’s not as clear today as it could or should be, [and] it’s extremely important that students understand how their funds are being used,” Klein said. “Students are, today, bigger shareholders in the university system than they’ve ever been before.”

Video gaming scholarships on the rise and technology consultancy headquartered in Montreal.

The gaming industry as a whole generates $25 billion in annual revenue, according to the Entertainment Software Association, a Washington-based trade group.

The “League of Legends” finals in 2013 sold out the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The 2014 finals, held last month, drew more than 40,000 fans to a former World Cup soccer stadium in Seoul. Millions more watched online.

Because of the popularity, it might not be long before other schools try to join Robert Morris.

Spiher, who also is a student at Eastern Michigan University and president of LOL(at)EMU, the school’s “League of Legends” club, said gamers are the kind of students that are attractive to a university.

“They’re problem solvers,” Spiher said. “That’s what a game is. You have a certain goal, and you come across a lot of problems in the way of that goal. It’s the same way in college.”

Whether it’s a sport remains up for debate.

ESPN President John Skipper said during a conference earlier this year that his network is mostly interested in “real sports” and that he didn’t believe video games fell into that category.

“It’s not a sport,” he said. “It’s a competition, right? I mean, chess is a competition, and checkers is a competition.”

The network does, however, televise poker tournaments, noted Nancy Donohoe, director of public relations at Robert Morris.

“It’s kind of cool to see kids who might’ve been in the shadows say, ‘I got an athletic scholarship, too,’” she said.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHICAGO — It was a shoulder injury during his junior year of high school that ended Derek Micheau’s dreams of being a pitcher. Later that season, a knee injury ended his hopes of playing catcher.

Turns out he didn’t need healthy shoulders or knees for a college athletic scholarship.

Micheau earned a scholarship to play video games at Robert Morris University Illinois. The small school in Chicago became the first U.S. university to offer scholarships for video gaming when it launched its eSports program this fall. The school gave out 35 scholarships to gamers from around the country.

“My mom thought it was a scam,” said Michaeu, a 20-year-old freshman from Olympia, Wash.

Turns out, some parents might want to think twice before telling their kids to turn off the computer.

Micheau’s scholarship pays for half of his tuition, room and board, which at full price runs more than $30,000.

The teams are a part of the athletics department at Robert Morris, which has about 2,500 students at its Chicago campus and about 6,000 across several campuses in Illinois.

The school spent $100,000 turning a computer lab into an eSports Arena with fast-processing computers, large monitors, high-end ergonomic gaming chairs and a strict no-foodor-drink policy.

The gamers play “League of Legends,” a multiplayer online battle arena, or MOBA, that groups players into teams in head-to-head battles.

The game requires each player to take on certain roles with certain skills. The goal is to knock down an opponent’s tower before the opponent knocks down theirs.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

ROBERT MORRIS UNIVERSITY ILLINOIS STUDENTS Sondra Burrows, left, 21, and Alex Chapman, 20, play “League of Legends” during a practice of the school’s eSports program. The school spent $100,000 turning a computer lab into an eSports Arena with fast processing computers, large monitors, high-end ergonomic gaming chairs and a strict no-food-or-drink policy.

The two teams on Robert Morris’ varsity squad are undefeated this year, playing against college club teams in leagues.

The eSport athletes, as the school calls them, took part in the university’s homecoming rally. They are outfitted with team-branded hoodies and jackets, like most other scholarship athletes. The co-ed team has five coaches — one head coach and four assistants.

“We’re definitely taking it seriously,” said Kurt Melcher, associate athletic director and program coordinator. “We want them to do well.”

It was his idea to launch the

program to attract a diverse assortment of students to the school. The national attention — the program has been featured by ESPN, NPR, HBO’s “Real Sports” and a variety of other outlets — has been a “nice byproduct,” Melcher said.

The team is not a revenue generator for Robert Morris University Illinois, but most college sports teams aren’t, except for highprofile football and men’s basketball teams. The school has partnered with a few companies who sponsor the team.

“I wanted to make sure we jumped on it as fast as possible, because I knew this would be a big deal. There

was no way it couldn’t be,” said John Spiher, marketing director at DXRacer USA, which sells gaming chairs and sponsors the team. The company outfitted Robert Morris’ eSports arena with one of its chair models, which retails for $349.

The scholarship program is just the next step in a burgeoning industry. The best professional gamers earn six figures through sponsorship deals and competition winnings. There was more than $25 million available in prize money in 2013, a 350-percent increase since the start of the decade, according to Jim Yang, global chief strategy officer at Nurun, a global design

Religious activists clash over Jerusalem holy sites TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

JERUSALEM — Once dismissed as a fringe group with limited public support, a movement of religious Jewish activists seeking to pray at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site has provoked a wave of Palestinian violence that has raised fears of a slide into a religious war.

The activists’ efforts to gain more access to the area in Jerusalem’s Old City known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary has triggered a fierce Palestinian backlash. A string of Palestinian attacks has killed 11 people in the past month in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the West Bank, the worst eruption of such violence in years and a sign of the explosiveness of the dispute.

The focus of the conflict is a compound on a raised plateau that contains Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam, and the gold-covered Dome of the Rock shrine, built over the

Amidst controversy, colleges tackle campus sexual assaults TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — The University of Virginia is now at the center of the growing debate over campus sexual assault.

A searing account in Rolling Stone of the gang rape of a freshman at a fraternity party in 2012 has triggered a firestorm of criticism at officials at the prestigious Charlottesville, Va., school founded by Thomas Jefferson.

University President Teresa Sullivan might have been speaking for many of her peers when she said, “This will require institutional change, cultural change and legislative change, and it will not be easy.”

In the debate over campus sexual assault, the roles are pretty well defined and the loudest voices belong to women. The numbers tell the story: Nearly one in five women have been raped in their lifetimes, according to a January White House report; among men, nearly one in 71.

According to the report, “most victims know their assailants,” and 98 percent of perpetrators are men.

Some colleges and universities are working to change the culture that Sullivan refers to by finding new ways to engage all students — men, in particular — in an attempt to end sexual assault.

At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, programs such as the school’s “One Act” bystander intervention and “Men’s Project” are identifying and working with different groups on campus.

“The Men’s Project is a group that actively explores issues related to masculinity, privilege and how that all plays into creating a community that is violence-free,” said Christi Hurt, assistant vice chancellor and chief of staff in the student affairs office.

UNC-Chapel Hill is one of many schools that the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is investigating for potential violations of Title IX, a law that prevents sex discrimination in schools.

Recruiting men to join a campus anti-sexual-assault group isn’t always easy. Concerned students at

the George Washington University in the nation’s capital are finding that not everyone is receptive to the kind of training that could help fight the problem.

“It’s not an easy conversation to have,” said junior Ross Berry, the head of finance for the campus group Students Against Sexual Assault.

“But just by being here we’re trying to keep asserting that this conversation needs to be had.”

In September, President Barack Obama announced “It’s On Us,” a national campaign to end campus sexual assault. It came as schools across the country said they were trying to reach out to their campus communities and spread the responsibility to others, such as athletic groups, fraternities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender

and questioning organizations.

Texas State University student Elliot Ives is part of a group that trains men to lead discussions on topics related to violence, including sexual assault. Ives said it is sometimes a tough job.

“Especially if we’re doing a presentation for a fraternity or a sports team, there can sometimes be some active resistance,” Ives said.

“And yet, even in those groups, you can have a lot of people who are very receptive, even if they’re quieter because they feel like they’ve got to appeal to their peers.”

Texas State, in San Marcos, Texas, is one of many universities using techniques to try to get men involved in the movement to end the problem.

But sexual-assault prevention doesn’t come in a one-size-fits-

all solution for the vastly different colleges and universities around the country.

At Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., which also is being scrutinized for Title IX violations, school officials hope that men in student government will lead the effort to persuade members of their gender to get involved, said Jessica Haymaker, one of the coordinators of the school’s Center for Advocacy, Response and Education office.

“We’re kind of using that positive role-model stance of there are men who will be active and visible on our campaign,” Haymaker said, “and hoping that helps bridge some barriers and perceptions about who can be a part of this conversation.”

the site, and another rightist legislator has sponsored a bill to change prayer arrangements there. Growing numbers of Jewish activists have been going to the compound during visiting hours for non-Muslims, sometimes attempting to sneak a prayer under the watchful eyes of police and Waqf officials.

The campaign has alarmed Palestinians who fear that Israeli authorities are seeking to change the long-standing prayer arrangements as part of a plan to take over the site.

“This has been a Muslim mosque for 1,400 years, and the people claiming the right to pray there are doing it for political reasons,” said Sheikh Azzam al-Khatib, the director of the Waqf. “This is a tactical position. It is the first step. The second step is the complete destruction of the site.”

Such fears are fueled by organizations such as the Temple Institute, a group advocating the construction of a third Jewish temple on what is now the site of the Dome of the Rock.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has vowed that Palestinians would not allow their holy places to be “defiled,” and he has accused Israeli leaders of trying to divide the Al-Aqsa compound between Muslims and Jews, a move he warned would lead to a “religious war.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given repeated assurances that there are no plans to change the status quo at the compound, and he has accused Abbas of inciting violence with false accusations of Israeli schemes to change prayer arrangements there.

Still, the perceived threat to Al-Aqsa has become a rallying cry for many Palestinians, grafted onto grievances against decades of Israeli occupation.

“They want to divide AlAqsa,” said Muntasir Salameh, a 19-year-old Palestinian from East Jerusalem. “Would you let someone do that to your home? That’s the reason for this whole mess.”

Modern streetcar, medieval streets

BY Maggie Farry The Daily Wildcat

L

ocals have long been frustrated with the quality of the roads in Tucson.

For a city that prides itself on being bike and pedestrian friendly, the streets complicate commutes on all modes of transportation. It’s difficult to walk, bike and drive across a pothole the size of Meteor Crater.

Yet, modern streetcar tracks can be found approximately two feet from these gaping pits in the asphalt. The mystery lies in the complications of allocating transportation funds.

In May 2006, voters approved the Pima Association Regional Transportation Authority plan.

This implemented a sales tax that allocated $2.1 billion worth of funding to make improvements in Tucson transportation.

The plan encompassed four main components: a roadway improvement element to expand traffic capacity by introducing additional lanes, raising medians, making drainage improvements, adding new turn lanes and improving pedestrian safety crossings; a safety element that included bus pullouts and signal technology; an environmental and economic vitality element consisting of improving pathways, sidewalks, bikeways and providing assistance to small businesses; and the transit element, where most of the RTA plan funds were allocated.

This element included the Sun Link Tucson Modern Streetcar and provided the project with $75 million of local funding.

Because voters approved this plan, that $75 million could only be used for the streetcar — not the potholes.

Other sources of funding for the streetcar included the Transportation and Infrastructure Generation Economic Recovery grant from the Federal Government that Tucson beat out other cities and towns for in 2010. This granted $63 million to the streetcar that Tucson voters approved in 2006.

Michael Graham, a spokesman for the Tucson Transportation Department, explained that the money earmarked for the streetcar could not be used for transportation projects other than transit.

“There are strings attached to federal funding,” he said. “The money earmarked for transit must stay in transit.”

It is important to recognize, however, that in 2013, Tucson voters passed Proposition 409, approving $100 million in bond sales to make improvements in city streets. Since the proposition passed, $20 million per year is allocated to the city government for resurfacing projects to fix Tucson roads. Major streets such as Speedway Boulevard and Sixth Street have already seen improvements.

“There is a long way to go because the needs are great,” Graham said.

This is a classic example of why voting is important: Things like city bonds and voter referendums in off-year elections tie the hands of officials we elect during presidential years. Poor quality streets in residential areas are issues that we students can impact.

And when we don’t make our voices heard, we end up with Frankenstreets: beautiful, stateof-the-art technology grafted onto a crumbling infrastructural base.

It’s time to confront frats

BY Julianna Renzi The Daily Wildcat

T

he past few weeks have not been good ones for Greek Life as an institution.

In mid-November, campus was abuzz with news of the assault on Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi by another fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, on Nov. 14. According to KVOA, around 15 members of SAE went to the home of AEPi members, yelled ethnic slurs and physically attacked a handful of AEPi brothers.

The incident caps a disturbing pattern of violence, rape and drug abuse that seems to accompany Greek Life, not just at the UA, but nationwide. It is becoming increasingly difficult to justify its presence at the UA. Even before the attack, both fraternities were on unstable footing with the law. SAE and AEPi are currently under investigation at the UA for events related to hazing and alcohol. A Bloomberg study released last December declared that SAE is the nation’s “deadliest fraternity” — a catchphrase that is now commonly associated with the brotherhood. More people have died in relation to SAE events than with any other fraternity. Nine students have died from intense hazing practices, including an Arizona State University student whose body was found dead in a lake after alcohol intake at an SAE party.

In 2013, an SAE member at Salisbury University, Justin Stuart, came forward with a firsthand account of the fraternity’s infamous pledge process, which included physical abuse with paddles, drinking to the point of passing out, standing naked in buckets of ice and isolation in a black basement with no toilet, food or water while blasting one loud, foreign song on repeat for nine hours.

These accounts seem antithetical to a healthy academic community, but they are not the only strikes against fraternities.

Just at the UA, more than 75 percent of fraternities are either under investigation or under sanctions for wrongful conduct.

That’s not even including the five that have lost recognition status, four of which have the opportunity to return to campus within the next five years.

Rolling Stone recently released a groundbreaking story about a historical tradition of rape and assault in the University of Virginia fraternity system. It centers on a fraternity that was expelled from the UA but will be allowed to return in 2016, Phi Kappa Psi. Rolling Stone unearthed a long series of violent rape cases that have been an integral part of the fraternity system at UVA, in which brothers systematically gang rape young, female partygoers.

The article tells the story of one student who was led into a room by her date, only to be attacked by seven brothers who violently raped her under instructions and encouragement from the others. The event was likely hazing-related. The girl recalls one of the brothers egging another on by saying that the older class of pledges had to do it, so the new class did as well if they wanted to be part of the frat. Similar cases of gang rape at the house date back at least 30 years. The article also cites a statistic that has become common knowledge over the past year: Joining a fraternity makes a student three times more likely to commit rape.

This is not to say that students in fraternities and sororities are evil. They are not. Many of my closest friends are involved in fraternities, and I have enjoyed various greek events.

Fraternities and sororities are hubs on campus that raise thousands of dollars every year for charities. They provide friend groups for new students and require a minimum GPA, ensuring a baseline level of academic excellence. However, the current system

— Traditional for life What the Church needs is to follow Christ, teach His Gospel and invite all, even to the ends to the Earth, to embrace Him as the Way, the Truth and the Life.

What a lot of people desire is different. Many want to use the Church’s “brand value” to push their various private, public and cultural agendas. …

— chrisinva The archconservative wing of the Catholic Church is dying a slow but well-deserved death.

The numerous tunnel-visioned, self-loathing homophobic bishops appointed by Pope Francis’ two predecessors are passing away, too.

Ultimately, the fruits of this papacy will be a church more faithful to the Christian message of the real gospel.

— Steve In response to “Michael Brown’s death will always be about race,” by ChiChi Offomah (Nov. 25) This article is absurd. Brown is not “every black kid.” That’s racist.

The video of his criminal activity shows him to be a belligerent, violent bully. Minutes later, he attacked a cop and was shot dead.

is not necessarily beneficial to a university community.

Greek Life is not the “opt-in” system it appears to be. It dominates the social scene of a university. As Rolling Stone put it, “Frats are often the sole option for an underage drinker looking to party, since bars are off-limits, sororities are dry and first-year students don’t get many invites to apartment soirees.” Male students are not allowed into fraternity parties unless they are members. If they want to be a part of the nightlife, they are compelled to rush, which divides them into exclusive groups based on their personalities, physical appearances and economic situations. It costs thousands of dollars to be a member for four years.

These divisions foster unnecessary tensions among groups, climaxing in stories such as AEPi and SAE’s. The groups claim to foster brotherhood and academic excellence, but in reality, they push the university social scene into a threatening cycle of abuse — one universities are refusing to end because the system is such a draw among alumni and students.

If we are going to continue to allow fraternities to dominate our university system, we need to take cases against them seriously. If they abuse their power, the university should stand behind student safety and take bold measures against them — not merely slap them on the wrists with training and probation. A middle ground needs to be reached where a university can reap the benefits of Greek Life while maintaining a safe, inclusive social sphere.

Anything less is bad not just for universities but for fraternities. It’s hard to make use of leadership and networking skills with drugs, violence and rape on your record.

I know that you know

An individual was arrested for violation of a promise to appear and was given a one-year exclusionary order on Nov. 11.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was conducting a security check near the Alpha Chi Omega sorority house when he located an individual sleeping on the ground within the walled recycling area north of the sorority.

The officer recognized the individual from previous arrests and knew he had an exclusionary order on file. After the officer spoke with him, the man said he knew he was not allowed on campus because of an exclusionary order, but he said he was only looking for a place to go to the restroom.

The officer asked him if he was aware that he was on campus, and the individual responded, “Yes, I’m on campus. You know I’m not supposed to be on the campus. I know I’m not supposed to be on the campus, but I told you I was looking for a place to go to the bathroom.”

A records check verified the exclusionary order and also found that the individual had a warrant through UAPD for trespassing after violating his exclusionary order.

The individual was issued a one-year exclusionary order for violating his current one and was transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked into custody.

HOW ABOUT RIDING FOR

Just couldn’t wait

A student was arrested at the UA BookStores on Nov. 12 for shoplifting.

Two UAPD officers responded to the bookstore around 10 a.m. regarding a woman who was detained in a conference room for shoplifting.

One of the officers met with a store security officer who was outside of the conference room. The security officer reported that he was monitoring the store security cameras when he saw the woman in the clothing area of the bookstore.

The security officer said he saw her pick up an article of clothing and put it in her backpack. He said he then alerted store security officers who were on the floor. They watched her proceed to bypass all store registers without making an effort to pay for the item she concealed.

Security officers approached her outside the store and they identified themselves. She was cooperative and went back inside the store to the conference room with them.

The security officer who saw her on the security camera checked her backpack and found two other store clothing items she had not paid for. The three items totaled $144.97.

The officer who had talked with the security officer introduced himself to the woman and informed her of her Miranda rights. She told the officer she understood her rights and would answer his questions.

She told the officer that she was being stupid. She said she had picked out the clothing items she wanted and called her mother to put money on her CatCard to cover the purchase, but her mother told her to wait and she would put money on the card later.

She said she didn’t want to wait, so she put the items in her backpack and walked out of the store without paying for them.

The officer cited the woman for shoplifting less than $1000 and advised her of her court date and location. She was released from the bookstore.

Amidst controversy, colleges tackle campus sexual assaults TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — The University of Virginia is now at the center of the growing debate over campus sexual assault.

A searing account in Rolling Stone of the gang rape of a freshman at a fraternity party in 2012 has triggered a firestorm of criticism at officials at the prestigious Charlottesville, Va., school founded by Thomas Jefferson.

University President Teresa Sullivan might have been speaking for many of her peers when she said, “This will require institutional change, cultural change and legislative change, and it will not be easy.”

In the debate over campus sexual assault, the roles are pretty well defined and the loudest voices belong to women. The numbers tell the story: Nearly one in five women have been raped in their lifetimes, according to a January White House report; among men, nearly one in 71.

According to the report, “most victims know their assailants,” and 98 percent of perpetrators are men.

Some colleges and universities are working to change the culture that Sullivan refers to by finding new ways to engage all students — men, in particular — in an attempt to end sexual assault.

At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, programs such as the school’s “One Act” bystander intervention and “Men’s Project” are identifying and working with different groups on campus.

“The Men’s Project is a group that actively explores issues related to masculinity, privilege and how that all plays into creating a community that is violence-free,” said Christi Hurt, assistant vice chancellor and chief of staff in the student affairs office.

UNC-Chapel Hill is one of many schools that the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is investigating for potential violations of Title IX, a law that prevents sex discrimination in schools.

Recruiting men to join a campus anti-sexual-assault group isn’t always easy. Concerned students at

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA conforts rape victim Lilly Jay during the launch of the “It’s On Us” campaign to prevent sexual assault on college campuses as Vice President Joe Biden looks on at the White House in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 19.

the George Washington University in the nation’s capital are finding that not everyone is receptive to the kind of training that could help fight the problem.

“It’s not an easy conversation to have,” said junior Ross Berry, the head of finance for the campus group Students Against Sexual Assault.

“But just by being here we’re trying to keep asserting that this conversation needs to be had.”

In September, President Barack Obama announced “It’s On Us,” a national campaign to end campus sexual assault. It came as schools across the country said they were trying to reach out to their campus communities and spread the responsibility to others, such as athletic groups, fraternities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender

and questioning organizations.

Texas State University student Elliot Ives is part of a group that trains men to lead discussions on topics related to violence, including sexual assault. Ives said it is sometimes a tough job.

“Especially if we’re doing a presentation for a fraternity or a sports team, there can sometimes be some active resistance,” Ives said.

“And yet, even in those groups, you can have a lot of people who are very receptive, even if they’re quieter because they feel like they’ve got to appeal to their peers.”

Texas State, in San Marcos, Texas, is one of many universities using techniques to try to get men involved in the movement to end the problem.

But sexual-assault prevention doesn’t come in a one-size-fits-

all solution for the vastly different colleges and universities around the country.

At Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., which also is being scrutinized for Title IX violations, school officials hope that men in student government will lead the effort to persuade members of their gender to get involved, said Jessica Haymaker, one of the coordinators of the school’s Center for Advocacy, Response and Education office.

“We’re kind of using that positive role-model stance of there are men who will be active and visible on our campaign,” Haymaker said, “and hoping that helps bridge some barriers and perceptions about who can be a part of this conversation.”

the site, and another rightist legislator has sponsored a bill to change prayer arrangements there. Growing numbers of Jewish activists have been going to the compound during visiting hours for non-Muslims, sometimes attempting to sneak a prayer under the watchful eyes of police and Waqf officials.

The campaign has alarmed Palestinians who fear that Israeli authorities are seeking to change the long-standing prayer arrangements as part of a plan to take over the site.

“This has been a Muslim mosque for 1,400 years, and the people claiming the right to pray there are doing it for political reasons,” said Sheikh Azzam al-Khatib, the director of the Waqf. “This is a tactical position. It is the first step. The second step is the complete destruction of the site.”

Such fears are fueled by organizations such as the Temple Institute, a group advocating the construction of a third Jewish temple on what is now the site of the Dome of the Rock.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has vowed that Palestinians would not allow their holy places to be “defiled,” and he has accused Israeli leaders of trying to divide the Al-Aqsa compound between Muslims and Jews, a move he warned would lead to a “religious war.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given repeated assurances that there are no plans to change the status quo at the compound, and he has accused Abbas of inciting violence with false accusations of Israeli schemes to change prayer arrangements there.

Still, the perceived threat to Al-Aqsa has become a rallying cry for many Palestinians, grafted onto grievances against decades of Israeli occupation.

“They want to divide AlAqsa,” said Muntasir Salameh, a 19-year-old Palestinian from East Jerusalem. “Would you let someone do that to your home? That’s the reason for this whole mess.”

UPCOMING SCHEDULE

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona volleyball faced a waiting game Sunday night, anxious for its spot in the field of 64 for the NCAA tournament.

After approximately 30 minutes, Arizona gave a sigh of relief as its name was announced as the No. 11 overall seed .

The Wildcats (23-9, 12-8 Pac12 Conference) will host the first two rounds of the tournament for the first time since 2002, when they made it all the way to the Elite Eight. Coming to Tucson will be Yale, BYU and Seton Hall.

Up first for the Wildcats will be the five-time defending Ivy League champions, the Yale Bulldogs (18-7, 12-2 Ivy League), on Thursday .

Arizona volleyball head coach Dave Rubio joked that the only thing he knew about his upcoming opponent was it is an Ivy League school.

“Other then the fact that they are an Ivy League, they are a heck of a lot smarter than I am,” Rubio said.

The winner of Seton Hall/BYU will play the winner of Arizona/ Yale on Friday .

This year’s NCAA tournament appearance marks the 26th for Arizona, holding a 27-25 record overall in the tournament.

“Now it just comes down to executing on our side of the court, which is what our coaches have said since the beginning,” UA libero Ronni Lewis said. “Our coaches know what they are doing and have been doing this business for long enough. So, if we just trust them and trust each other, I think we will do well.”

The Wildcats had hoped to host tournament action after their regular season play but were relieved when it was announced.

“You resign to the fact that you are going to travel during the first weekend,” Rubio said. “It’s nice that we can play at home. Just the fact that we don’t have to get on a plane, get ready and pack is really going to help us.”

The hosting opportunity is special in particular for Arizona’s seniors, who left their last match in McKale Center in disappointing fashion, losing to USC in four sets on Senior Day. “We haven’t hosted here since I don’t know when,” UA outside hitter Madi Kingdon said. “So,

ARIZONA VOLLEYBALL OUTSIDE HITTER Madi Kingdon speaks on Arizona being named as the 11th seed in the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball tournament in McKale Center on Sunday. Kingdon and the Wildcats will host Yale in the first round of the tournament.

I think it’s a great finish to my senior year to be able to host and hopefully make it through the first two rounds on our home court.”

Kingdon said that she hopes a lot of people show up to the games because her teammates were tweeting at the ZonaZoo to attend.

This upcoming tournament will be quite the feat for any of its teams. Nine past champions will make an appearance. Ten Pac-12 teams made the tournament, the most out of any conference. The Wildcats are in the same region

as Pac-12 foe No. 3 Washington , which is coming off an upset of No. 1 Stanford.

UA athletic director Greg Byrne said that Rubio and the Wildcats have stepped it up this season, especially since this is their first time hosting since 2002.

“Dave Rubio has done an incredible job with the program,” Byrne said. “We have great senior leadership on the team, but most importantly, we see a lot of the younger athletes really growing and getting stronger.”

In his 23 years of coaching, Rubio said that this team in

particular might be the easiest group of kids he has ever coached.

“That’s the thing about coaching and why coaches stay around: The job never gets old because the formula for success is different every single year,” Rubio said. “This year, I have been really fortunate and very blessed — maybe the easiest group of kids I have ever had to coach.”

T

hey may be on opposite sides of the country, but the Florida State football team and the Arizona men’s basketball team have more in common than you’d think. For starters, both are ranked in the top five of major polls.

Arizona started out the season at No. 2 overall, while FSU started at No. 1 overall. However, both have fallen a couple spots. The biggest criticism of both is, despite remaining undefeated, they play too many close games.

This is absolutely ridiculous and a perfect example of nitpicking. It’s shameful that it’s not good enough to just be undefeated anymore.

Teams are expected to not only beat other teams but blow them out of the water.

Florida State, a team that lost seven major players to the 2014 NFL Draft, defeated the Florida Gators this past weekend to remain undefeated. FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher spoke to the ESPN media right after the slim 24-19 victory. In short, Fisher said his team found yet another way to win, and they are the only undefeated team left in the country.

However come Monday/ Tuesday, being undefeated and riding a 28-game win streak likely won’t be good enough. The new AP poll has the Seminoles at No. 2 overall.

TYLER BAKER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA MEN’S BASKETBALL HEAD COACH Sean Miller directs his team during Arizona’s 71-54 win against UC Irvine on Nov. 19 in McKale Center. Miller and the Wildcats may win games in an ugly fashion this year, something that is frowned upon in today’s college basketball landscape.

basketball season picking up, the Arizona Wildcats could be in a similar situation to Florida State — where winning is just not enough.

As mentioned, the Wildcats dropped from No. 2 overall to as low as No. 4. The biggest complaint has been that the UA doesn’t win games impressively. Almost every game has been too close for comfort before late pushes fueled by defensive intensity.

This is the same thing that circled around during last season’s 33-5 run. The Wildcats barely defeated SDSU by nine, Duke by six, Michigan by two, UCLA by four and Utah by nine. It wasn’t as huge of a deal last season, though. The general consensus was that the UA was being stingy defensively and was crafty enough to get things done.

Thus, the lack of consistent offense wasn’t a big deal. With no Nick Johnson or Aaron Gordon this year, it feels like everybody is selling Arizona short. Statistically speaking, the starts to the two seasons aren’t very different.

Through seven games last season, the Wildcats averaged 79.7 points per game and allowed 59.4 PPG. Through seven games this season, the Wildcats are averaging 72.4 PPG and allowing 59.3 PPG. That 7.3 point difference from season to season can surely be placed on who the team played.

Dropping 100 points on Farleigh Dickinson and 91 points on Long Beach State is cool but boosts up the stats significantly.

The lack of a go-to scorer is the next complaint. Just last week, former Virginia Tech head

coach and current ESPN college basketball analyst Seth Greenberg said Arizona doesn’t have enough depth or enough scoring.

When Johnson declared for the NBA, it was clear someone would have to assume the scoring role. Even more clear was that it wouldn’t just be one person.

Sean Miller backed that assertion up early this year by saying he wouldn’t be surprised if four or five guys averaged double-digit points per game.

We shouldn’t be shocked if Arizona’s leading scorer ended up being closer to 12 or 13 points rather than 17 or 18 points. And that’s perfectly fine when you factor in a defense that figures to be among the best in the nation.

Interestingly, despite being deeper this season, the Wildcats will likely face an uphill battle to move up to the No. 2 ranking. And that’s not to say No. 4 isn’t great, because it is.

When looking at this year’s roster and schedule, it’s clear that Arizona is going to be in the same boat as last year. The defense will be great, the offense will be decent and the coaching will be outstanding. The system hasn’t changed; the only difference is two starters not being here.

Here’s hoping that this team isn’t penalized this year because it doesn’t blow teams out. Most of the time, it won’t be pretty, as they will scrap and claw their way to most victories. At the end of the day, winning has to stand for something, and this Arizona team is going to win a lot.

Wildcats make strides in 2014

BY BRIAN PEEL

The Daily Wildcat

Last weekend, the Arizona Wildcats soccer team’s season came to an end when it was defeated by Texas A&M in the Second Round of the NCAA tournament. Even with the early exit in the postseason, the Wildcats had one of their best seasons in program history under second-year head coach Tony Amato, making the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005.

Quick recap

1-0 win in chilly Stillwater in the First Round and were suddenly only one of 32 teams remaining in the country with a chance at a National Championship.

Texas A&M was Arizona’s next opponent and also happened to be its last. The Aggies rolled the Wildcats 7-2 and ended their mostly-dream-2014 run.

High point

There are a couple of choices for high point of the season, including midfielder Gabi Stoian’s dominant three-goal stretch at the Sun Devil Classic or the blowout 4-1 win at Washington State, but the easy answer here is the Wildcats’ First Round victory over Oklahoma State on the road. For nearly 10 seasons, Wildcat soccer fans waited to see their team make the postseason again, and not only did Arizona qualify but they advanced with a 1-0 victory away from home.

Much like last season, Arizona had a solid start to the season, winning six of their eight nonconference games, including a 3-1 win over Oklahoma State as well as a 2-2 tie with Texas A&M at the Sun Devil Classic in Tempe back in September.

Arizona’s success against quality nonconference competition was critical in building its resume, something it lacked in 2013.

Low point After dropping their Pac-12 Just as there were plenty of Conference opener 3-0 to USC , options for high point of the year, the Wildcats the same won their can be said next three for low The Wildcats conference point. The had one of their games and 6-0 loss at best seasons in were off to UCLA was program history one of the especially under secondbest starts b a d in program because it year head coach history at 9-2was sort of a Tony Amato 1.

However, measuringplaying against stick game some of the best teams in the for the Wildcats, and losing by a entire country, Arizona lost three golden goal against highly ranked in a row in October, including Stanford was a nightmare. But a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of what could be worse than being UCLA and a heartbreaking 3-2 eliminated from the postseason overtime loss at home against by a five-goal margin? The 7-2 Stanford. loss to Texas A&M is the low Even with a 2-1 victory over point of the year because all signs Utah on Halloween, Arizona’s pointed to at least a competitive postseason aspirations seemed game. However, the Wildcats to fade with close losses to stood no chance against the No. Colorado and ASU. But the 1 seed when the ball was kicked NCAA Tournament Selection off.

Committee answered the Wildcats’ prayers, and Arizona MVP was back in the postseason.

the

Wildcats

have all the pieces to again make a run at a NCAA tournament appearance, and there is little reason to believe they might not make it even further into the postseason in 2015. Considering how bad Arizona soccer was just a few seasons ago, Amato has proven he is one of the best coaches in the Pac-12, and with the return of several key pieces such as Stoian, Kaitlyn Lopez and Sheaffer Skadsen just to

name a few, the Wildcats will continue to make strides. It will be tough to replace the likes of seniors Gabby Kaufman, Ali Doller and Mykaylin Rosenquist, but if Amato continues to recruit well and develop talent, Arizona should be just fine next season.

Women’s hoops finishes runners up The Arizona women’s basketball team lost 6954 to Toledo in the FIU Thanksgiving Classic championship game

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

Arizona women’s basketball split its two games at the FIU Thanksgiving Classic over the weekend in Miami, Fla. The Wildcats (2-3) defeated host FIU 65-58 in the opening round before falling 69-54 to Toledo in the championship game.

In the opening game, Arizona used a strong shooting performance to run away from the Panthers.

UA point guard Candice Warthen led the team with a season-high 18 points on 8-20 shooting, while guard JaLea Bennett scored a career-high 14 points off the bench.

Collectively, the UA had its most efficient offensive game of the season, shooting 47.6 percent from the field and

Butts deployed a balanced rotation, committing just seven turnovers.

“It’s always good to win, especially when giving all nine players at least 13 minutes you can get one on the road,” Arizona head on the court. Warthen, however, played point guard nearly coach Niya Butts said the entire game, only in a statement. “It was coming out for a great to see us shoot a couple breathers. high percentage from In the championship the field.

However, the two guards shot a combined 7-28 from the field, severely limiting Arizona’s offensive efficiency. UA forward LaBrittney Jones was the most productive Arizona scorer, contributing 10 points on 4-8 shooting, while also finishing with a team-high nine rebounds.

As a team, the Wildcats made only 33 percent of their field goal attempts and went 3-16 from outside. Meanwhile, Toledo made 44 percent of its baskets behind a game-high 24 point outing from Inma Zanoguera.

Arizona hurt itself by dishing out just eight assists and committing 21 turnovers, which led to 26 Toledo points.

In the paint, the Wildcats once again held their own by outscoring Toledo 32-26. The two teams were even in the rebounding battle, each grabbing 35 boards.

Arizona now returns back home where it will host Grambling on Wednesday night.

The Wildcats have a ticket allotment of 3,500, and they can be purchased on ArizonaWildcats.com. ZonaZoo members can buy up to two tickets for $50 each, and regular prices tickets start at $129 each.

“They were moving pretty decently yesterday,” Byrne said about ticket sales on Sunday. “I haven’t gotten an update today, but we’ve had a lot of inquiries, obviously mostly online, but we’ve had a lot of donors reaching out too, saying, ‘Hey, I want to be there, I want to be a part of this,’ and a lot of them have been in California, too, Southern and Northern California.”

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships The testes can make up to 5,000 sperm per second.

Q

Where does sperm go if it is not ejaculated?

A. Each of 200 million sperm contained in just one ejaculation has a singular purpose: to reach and fertilize an egg. But what happens if they never leave a man’s body, never even beginning the great race to the egg? The short answer is that they age, die, and are broken down to produce new sperm.

Although men produce the little swimmers in great numbers, they don’t develop overnight. Believe it or not, it takes 74 days, on average, for sperm to mature – though some recent research suggests it could be as short as 42 days. During this time, sperm go through various stages of growth and development that takes them from the testes, where they are first produced, to the vas deferens, where they are mixed with seminal fluid and prepared for ejaculation.

In between, sperm travel through the epididymis, a tube that is a mere 1/300th of an inch wide but 20 feet long, a journey that takes about 3 weeks to complete.

The award winning Wildcat is produced by students who are in touch with what you need to know.

It is here in the epididymis that sperm wait “on-deck� until sexual activity spurs them forward to the vas deferens. Sperm can remain viable in the epididymis for about a month, after which they degenerate and are eventually reabsorbed into the body. Every time a man ejaculates, his semen contains both living and dead sperm, given this ongoing cycle. Animal studies have estimated that between 40-50% of all sperm that are produced wind up being reabsorbed before they ever reach the vas deferens. So now you know!

A few other interesting facts about sperm: • Once mature, sperm can move forward at a speed of four times their length every second. • Sperm get the energy to whip their tails from the sugar fructose. • The ideal temperature to produce sperm is about 7 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than body temperature, which is why the testes hang away from body heat in the scrotum. • A man produces sperm all day, every day, for his entire life.

t promptly 7 p.m. on Thursday, my companion and I exited the house, armed with sweatshirts, snacks and money.

We were determined to conquer Black Friday shopping, and this year, we were starting early.

Our first destination was Best Buy. Usually, I would never step foot in an electronics store on Black Friday, but my partner, a prebusiness freshman named Kyle Douglass, needed to get his camera from the store, so there was no choice.

The parking lot was chaotic, filled with people who were lugging around three television sets and attempting to shove them all into their SUV. We followed a family down the row to their car, and claimed the parking space as soon as they began backing out. Goal number one was complete: Find a parking spot.

We readied ourselves to enter the unknown and stepped out of the car into the havoc of the night. People were walking in all directions through the parking lot.

Some were loading up their items before going back in for round two, and others were still attempting to carry their purchases through the war zone.

Finally, we made our way to the deep breath and set out to conquer. entrance of the store.

KAMP Student Radio

The Internet has not been able to stop talking about Jaden Smith.

The son of actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith has matured into a quasi-philosopher-prophet.

The 16-year-old musician seems to be the hypothetical result of the deep web suddenly opening up a vortex and spitting out a life form.

He and sister Willow Smith’s recent New York Times interview certainly has the world asking: Who is Jaden Smith?

At KAMP Student Radio, our disc jockeys have been spinning his seven-minute saga, “Blue Ocean.” The lyrics are surprisingly concrete, and the beat is simple yet sophisticated. Jaden Smith spins a tale of lost love, from which we can learn a valuable lesson: Never fall in love at Coachella.

Willow Smith’s bridge is solid as well, with some really beautiful lyricism: “If my red eyes don’t see you anymore / And I can’t hear you through the white noise / Just enjoy how deep our love / To the blue ocean floor.” Leaving behind her “Whip My Hair” persona, Willow Smith’s grown up into a beautiful, creative fashion icon.

To Jaden Smith’s haters’ dismay, it’s almost impossible to poke fun at any of the lines in “Blue Ocean,” except for one (my favorite): “You’re the orange juice to my pulp.” Personally, I wish my own man would use more Jadenstyle compliments. But what

exactly is orange juice to pulp?

The pulp enhances the juice, but the juice can exist without it.

Perhaps this is what Jaden Smith’s saying — that a girl broke his heart, but she’s doing fine without him, maybe not even conscious of the pain she put him in, yet his existence is haunted by hers. He can’t even exist without her; he “[stays] away from [her] / ’Cause everybody knows [he’s] a ghost.”

Oh, Jaden. Perhaps the depth of your pain only resonates with the most enlightened among us.

Love remains a strong theme throughout all of Jaden Smith’s art. And by art, I mostly mean his Twitter posts. @officialjaden is the source of daily mind-bending thoughts and truths, including, “Drake Is Tight.” You may see some typos and wonder about the interesting capitalization in other tweets such as, “I Don’t Want You Guys To Think Because I Was Born In America That I Speak And Abide By English Grammar. I Speak Jaden, Indefinitely.”

You can laugh at Jaden Smith all you want. Point out he’s a spoiled child of celebrities and is just repeating philosophical nonsense he’s picked up from books. But right now, it’s his world. In the words of the boy himself, “Hate Me Love Me Doesn’t Matter I’m Still Occupying Time Inside Of Your Psyche.”
