UA avoids closure as storm passes

BY ETHAN McSWEENEY & MEGHAN FERNANDEZ The Daily Wildcat

The UA campus will remain open today after administration officials determined that the weather conditions did not warrant a campus closure.

Severe weather had been forecasted to bring heavy rains and flooding to the Tucson area, which led UA officials to consider canceling classes and closing campus today.

However, the storm is no longer expected to hit the area, according to an email from Melissa Vito, senior vice president for student affairs and enrollment management and chair of the UA Campus Emergency Response Team. Classes and business operations at the UA will continue as normal.

“The Campus Emergency Response Team Executive Policy Group has evaluated current and prospective weather conditions

throughout the day and into the evening Wednesday, ultimately determining that there was no cause for closing campus,” according to a UANews statement.

UA administrators had consulted with officials from the National Weather Service, Pima County, the city of Tucson and Pima County Emergency Operations Center in their decision to leave campus open Thursday, the email from Vito said.

Chris Sigurdson, senior associate

vice president of university relations, said a decision was made around 8 p.m. in the last conference the executive committee had on Wednesday. The university made a decision to not take precautionary action.

“The decision was that the chance of precipitation had dropped dramatically,” Sigurdson said.

Customer usage of ridesharing companies is growing exponentially across the country.

Although UA students use them for late night rides to a fraternity or In-N-Out Burger, according to the state, these businesses are operating illegally.

Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill that would have put ride-sharing businesses under different standards than cab companies in the state of Arizona in April 2014.

Companies such as Lyft and Uber, two of the best known ride-sharing organizations, have different insurance structures than cab companies and have gaps in their insurance coverage, which is a financial risk for the drivers and passengers.

In response, cab drivers around the state, and around the UA campus, have been sharing their feelings by writing slogans like “Lyft and Uber are ILLEGAL!” on the backs of their cabs. Cab companies say these third party companies have shortcut the rules that cabs have to abide by.

Charlie Hawatmeh, a cab driver for Sahuarita Taxi, has written: “Do NOT take Lyft and Uber …

ILLEGAL!” on the back of his car.

“It really comes down to the safety of the passengers,”

With the election of a new Arizona governor rapidly approaching this November, Republican candidate Doug Ducey has confirmed he will not attend the Gubernatorial Forum, and students are upset.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona is hosting a gubernatorial forum on Sunday as part of its “Your Voice, Your Vote” campaign and has invited all four candidates running for the governor’s seat of Arizona; only three of the four have confirmed.

After sending out formal invitations this past July, confirmed candidates attending are Libertarian Barry Hess, John Mealer for Americans Elect and Democrat Fred DuVal. Doug Ducey declined the invitation in July due to “scheduling conflicts,” according to Issac Ortega, ASUA president.

ast school year, Gallagher Theatre made $11,254.66 in profit while showing movies for free. It brought in $39,010 in revenue.

But this year, it’s returned to its old system of charging $3 a ticket. Why the change?

Allen Womble, student engagement coordinator at the Student Union Memorial Center, attributes the return to Gallagher Theatre’s loss of student services fee support. During the 2013-14 school year, Gallagher Theatre received $28,465.84 from the $40 student services fee that every student pays.

That translates to about fifty cents a student.

High expectations, no grade inflation

WEATHER FROM PAGE 1

BY MAX LANCASTER The Daily Wildcat

Last year, the Harvard University campus newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, wrote an article that claimed the average grade at the university was an A- and made the act of grade inflation a topic of debate. Grade inflation is the act of giving a student a grade they did not really deserve.

Albrecht Classen, a professor and undergraduate adviser in the department of German studies, believes that grade inflation does occur at the UA. “I am afraid it probably happens,” Classen said, “but the university does its best to try and prevent it.”

The main problem with grade inflation is that anything besides an A is not enough any more, Classen said.

Classen believes that one of the reasons grade inflation is occurring is because of the higher cost of education.

“It is hard to fail someone in a class,” Classen said. “A failed class could mean financial ruin for some students.”

However, Classen feels that professionalism and trust must come over sympathy.

“We need a stronger sense of community,” Classen said. “The more staff and students know each other, the more incentive both parties will have to be ethical.”

While Classen believes that grade inflation does occur, he also thinks the university has a good grading system in place.

“We have detailed grading rubrics to make sure our staff grades consistently,” Classen said.

“We want to make our grading as transparent as possible to the students.”

Bill Montfort, a professor of biochemistry, believes that grade inflation is not a problem in his department. “Grading has been pretty consistent

for the 20 plus years I have been here,” Montfort said. “We have a strong student base so we always have A’s, but also bad grades.”

Montfort does not believe that the university has a grade inflation problem, but feels the best way to fight grade inflation is to hire good staff.

“Hire people with good standards,” Montfort said. “You just need people with integrity and with a high bar.”

Hannah Milner, a senior violin performance major, feels that grade inflation is not a problem in her major.

“His absence from this debate says that he doesn’t want to do that.”

Students have tried multiple times to reach Ducey by calling his offices in attempts to get him to attend the forum, but have been unsuccessful.

“Ducey is running his campaign on funding higher education and putting it as a priority,” said Jose Guadalupe Conchas, a political science senior. “Commitment without currency is counterfeit.”

Conchas said that without a Republican party nominee in attendance, the atmosphere of the debate will not be the same.

“If gubernatorial candidate Doug Ducey expects young voters to take his

Milner believes that the issue about grade inflation can be prevented if teachers expect more from their students.

“When my teachers give me a bad grade, it gives me more incentive to do better,” Milner said. “If you don’t give students the grades they deserve, then they are not going to be prepared for the real world.”

educational plans seriously, then he needs to come to the [UA] and stand in front of students directly to talk about his higher education goals,” said Zachary Brooks, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, in an email statement.

With recent tuition increases and university budget cuts, Mattio believes the situation is steadily worsening.

Students are eager to ask the candidates questions regarding higher education and have their issues addressed, and the lack of his presence hurts his party.

“This debate is supposed to be a space for all parties to be represented and to create a non-biased environment for the UA, Tucson and Arizona community overall to be informed on the [gubernatorial] candidates,” Conchas said.

Had weather conditions worsened, Barrera said officers were prepared to assist people getting around campus.

The severe weather is related to Tropical Storm Odile, which hit Mexico as a hurricane and moved north overland into Arizona. The severe weather hit areas to the south and east of Tucson, according to the National Weather Service.

Throughout Wednesday, sandbags were distributed to the Tucson community in anticipation of flooding. Tucson Police Department officers assisted by directing traffic in the areas of distributions, where backups were occurring, according to a tweet by the department.

The Campus Emergency Response Team had sent an email Tuesday evening alerting UA students and employees to the possibility of closing campus and canceling classes due to the severe weather on Wednesday and Thursday.

After campus was not closed Wednesday, UA officials sent another email which said they would make a decision on the status of the university for today by Wednesday evening.

The Campus Emergency Response Team still advises UA students and employees to exercise caution, Vito’s email said.

everything they can to get the Republican gubernatorial nominee there.

Students are setting up a phone bank on Thursday going into Friday evening to call Ducey’s campaign headquarters and request his presence at the forum.

They will also send out press releases to all major news networks, newspapers and media outlets throughout Arizona, according to Conchas.

Ortega said that ASUA is excited to host the three candidates that have confirmed and hear them share their opinions on everything from higher education to other state issues.

“It’s unfortunate that Ducey can’t make it,” Ortega said. “It really is unfortunate.”

GALLAGHER FROM PAGE 1

With this money, Gallagher Theatre paid for movie licenses while septupling its marketing budget.

And yet, just under 4,600 students attended Gallagher Theatre’s showings last year. That corresponds to an average attendance of about 46, even though the theater seats 3,420.

Something is going terribly wrong at Gallagher. These numbers suggest gross mismanagement — mismanagement that we, as students, are paying for, both in our student services fees and in the prices at the student union, which has to subsidize Gallagher Theatre if it comes up short.

When I interviewed Womble, attempting to track down some of the money being spent, a general budget was made for me. Made, not given. The biggest problem with Gallagher Theatre is that it does not have a single, overarching budget — or at least, Womble wouldn’t give one to me.

Though I did manage to get the statistics I quoted above, the people in charge of Gallagher Theatre do not know simple things like how much revenue was made from concessions last academic year. I don’t expect that level of detail to be memorized, but it should be somewhere accessible, not still an unknown after several days of searching.

But what I did manage to discover is that Gallagher Theatre’s main source of revenue is rentals of the space, not $3 ticket sales to students.

In the 2013-14 school year, approximately $34,000 of the theater’s $39,000 revenue was generated from rentals of the space, both to outside parties at $750 a pop and to student organizations at about $325 per use. There is obviously no shortage of patrons who want to use, and pay for, the space.

The amount of revenue that Gallagher Theatre brings in from rentals alone is not only staggering, but also several times higher than revenue from ticket or concession sales will ever be.

With this in mind, charging us $3 a movie seems almost petty. But it becomes even more questionable when one considers that Gallagher Theatre is still set to lose $16,962 this school year, the biggest deficit since it was managed by the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

These are very depressing numbers, made more so by how easily Gallagher Theatre could be turned profitable.

The three student workers employed at Gallagher Theatre decide what movies to purchase, at $1,000 to $1,500 a title, from film companies like 20th Century Fox and NBC Universal. In this decision, they are supremely unscientific, trusting their own personal taste over what a large majority of students actually want, and will pay, to see. Heaven forbid they send out a poll to ask students at the beginning of the semester.

The mismanagement continues when one considers the showing times. Unsurprisingly, very few people go to Sunday showings at 2 p.m. More people show up for Thursday night showings.

Unlike with its budget, Gallagher Theatre has incredibly detailed information on how many people show up to every showing of every movie, but staff have not yet put twoand-two together: There isn’t enough demand on Sunday afternoon to run already underwhelming films, so perhaps they should reduce staffing costs by eliminating the poorly attended showings.

One of the most aggravating things about the way Gallagher Theatre is run is its insistence that the student services fee support the theater received last year was somehow necessary to run the business.

The theater proved last year that, even with no management changes, it doesn’t need all of the $28,465 that the student body paid for to break even. I felt like I was being offered an ultimatum while talking to Womble: either pay for movies, or get the student services fee board to give Gallagher Theatre its funding back.

At the end of the day though, as a student, I don’t care if Gallagher Theatre is charging us $3 a ticket or getting our money from the student services fee. I care that it’s blatantly wasting the money that we are giving it.

By being more selective about what movies it shows, when it shows them, and perhaps, just maybe, creating a consolidated, itemized budget, I firmly believe the theater could support itself on only rental fees. No ticket sales, no student services fee, no student union subsidies.

It hasn’t so far, because no one demands that Gallagher Theatre be intelligent about its expenses. We, as a student body, should. We are paying for it, after all.

Gaming culture misogyny should push all our buttons

hile in 2014, a majority of female professional gamers are treated well, I know some in the community who are not. The female gamers who always catch the most ire are those who are perceived as using games as a cheap gimmick to shore up their cam girl personas, and get talked about in the same mythical way as the “fake geek girl” a while back, with constant attacks on their credibility.

What’s interesting about these comments is not how atypical they are, but how these problems have been a visible and static part of the gaming scene since even when I got into it in the early 2000s.

It’s the easiest damn thing in the world to envision a character as male and change it to a female in the writing process, and we should stop acting like it’s some Herculean task on the writers’ part.

We don’t want to ban or eliminate characters like Bayonetta or Ivy from “Soul Calibur,” we just want more protagonists like Chell from “Portal” or Jade from “Beyond Good and Evil.”

Gaming has long prided itself as a safe haven for the outcasts of the world, but undercurrents have shown that even there, we cannot escape the maladies of real-world discriminations. If you want to cleanse the industry of filth, pursue the real culprits in the corporate sphere, the kind consumer advocate Jim Sterling talks about week-in and weekout.

But sexism is part and parcel of that same cancer that is gnawing at gaming, both in pitting enthusiast against enthusiast and keeping us from addressing our real problems. We need to address these problems rather than accepting them as an inherent part of the culture.

POLICE BEAT IT’S A GREAT BIG Battle of the bush UNIVERSE OUT THERE.

BY ARIELLA NOTH

The Daily Wildcat

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office on Sept. 6 for a minor in possession of alcohol.

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were driving eastbound on Second Street near Highland Avenue when they noticed a man walking southbound by the Second Street Parking Garage and the Education building. The man seemed to be stumbling slightly.

The officers turned into the bike paths to talk to the man, when he stepped off the sidewalk and partially concealed himself behind a bush.

The officers pulled up to the man and asked if he had stepped behind the bush to urinate. He said he had, but had not begun to urinate.

The man identified himself with an ID card, and the officers noted that they could smell an odor of intoxicants from his breath and person, in addition to him having red, watery eyes. The man said he had consumed alcohol earlier in the evening, having had around four or five beers at an off-campus party. He said he could not remember where the party was, but recalled that alcohol had been served.

The officers read the man his admonition of rights and he was asked if he understood his rights. The man told the officer he did and continued to say that he did not feel unwell and was capable of walking to his residence hall.

The student was then diverted through the Dean of Students Office for a minor in possession of alcohol.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

A UAPD officer was dispatched to the UA Bookstore on Sept. 6 in response to a shoplifter being held in the bookstore security’s custody.

Security staff members informed the officer that the shoplifter had taken electronic items off the shelf and had placed them in his backpack. The items consisted of a Beats Electronics Pill speaker valued at $199.99 and a pair of headphones valued at $99.99, with stickers identifying the prices of the objects.

The man had identified himself verbally to the bookstore security. The security staff members, however, told the officer that they believed the information was falsified and the man was withholding information.

The officer handcuffed the man and sat him down to interview him. The man once again identified himself with new information that was confirmed through the UA student directory.

The officer asked the man why he gave the security staff false information. The man said, “I was just really nervous and panicked.�

The man was read his Miranda rights and asked if he understood them, to which he said he did.

The man told the officer that he had previously owned the same type of items he was stealing, but they had been stolen out of his dorm room four days prior. He told the officer he was angry, wanted the items back and resolved to take them from the bookstore.

The man confirmed he had taken the two items and placed them in his backpack. The headphones were out of the box and the man said they were on a shelf near the textbooks.

The man was arrested for shoplifting under $1,000 and then referred to the Dean of Students Office for a code of conduct violation.

Arizona football true freshman running back Nick Wilson has rushed for over 100 yards in all three games of the Wildcats’ 3-0 start. He is fourth in the nation in rushing with 449 yards and has run for over 170 yards each of the last two games.

After a hat trick last week against Nevada, Arizona soccer true freshman Gabi Stoian has six goals in seven games to start the season.

She is 22nd in the country in goals. The Wildcats are off to a 4-1-1 start.

Former Arizona quarterback Nick Foles led the Philadelphia Eagles to another comeback win on Monday night, beating the Colts 3027 in Indianapolis. The Pro Bowler threw for 331 yards on 21-for-37 passing. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck lost two games in a row for the first time since 2009, when Foles and the Wildcats beat Luck and Stanford 43-38.

USA men’s basketball beat Serbia 129-92 to win the FIBA World Cup where it went 9-0. The Americans have won four major titles in a row, the world championships twice and Olympics twice, and have won 63 games in a row.

Arizona football is 3-0, but the ZonaZoo doesn’t seem to care. Despite gifts of Ray-Bans and Studio Beats by Dre offered as bribes to keep students at the Nevada game, the ZonaZoo was mostly empty late in a close game against a 2-0 team.

The NFL has suffered a black eye due to a slew of players racking up domestic violence allegations. Greg Hardy, Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson were benched, while the 49ers were criticized for letting Ray McDonald play.

Big Ten football’s painful season continued last week. On Saturday, Illinois lost to Washington 44-19, Purdue to Notre Dame 30-14, Minnesota to TCU 307, Iowa to Iowa State 20-17 and Indiana to Bowling Green 45-42.

Q&A

Chance Comanche’s coaches talk abilities

BY EVAN ROSENFELD The Daily Wildcat

On Sunday, four-star power forward Chance Comanche committed to Arizona, announcing that he would be joining the Wildcats come the 2015-16 season.

Comanche, who is a current senior at Beverly Hills High School in Los Angeles, is ranked 97 in the 2015 ESPN 100 and had also received offers from UConn, ASU, California, UCLA and Louisville, among others.

Before transferring to Beverly Hills this year, Comanche played for View Park Prep as a sophomore and junior, where he averaged 15.7 points and 13.7 rebounds per game.

Arizona hasn’t been to the Final Four since ditching the classic cactus logo, but last month, the Wildcats introduced new uniforms that are an ode to the attire they wore in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

It doesn’t make sense to replace perfectly fine uniforms with ones that replicate older, more popular ones, while repainting a court with

Daily Wildcat: What type of vibe does Comanche bring to a team both in the locker room and on the court?

Ken Henderson: He was sort of a silent leader on the court and was one of those guys that really set by example. He didn’t really become vocal unless he needed to be.

But regardless, I know for a fact that a lot of players feed off of the energy he brings

What do you see as some of Comanche’s biggest strengths and weaknesses?

Jarvis Turner: I think his biggest strength is his skill set. He’s a great shooter — shoots from about 18 or 19-feet extremely well — he has a nice soft touch How are you expecting around the basket I know for a Comanche to fit in a and he just has an fact that a lot of Pac-12 Conference overall good feel players feed off level program like for the game.

[like Rachel] carry themselves with that level of confidence, it emanates to other players.”

When asked about what has given her the confidence and drive she consistently displays on the court, Rhoades pointed to one of her fondest team memories.

During her freshman year when Arizona swept UCLA — which at the time was ranked No. 2 in the country — Rhoades played an integral part in the victory.

She contributed a team-high five blocks to go along with three kills as the Wildcats dispatched the Bruins in three consecutive sets.

“We weren’t supposed to win,” Rhoades said. “We just took that game by the horns and that was the first time I’d seen that happen and the first time I felt we really did something ‘groundbreaking for Arizona volleyball.’ Just to see that the underdog could beat a better team, it was inspiring [and] really gave me confidence for the rest of my years here [at] Arizona that something like that is possible and could happen at any time.”

Arizona is standing up to cancer

BY CHELSEA REGAN The Daily Wildcat

Neil Patrick Harris and Emma Stone are two of the celebrities that participated in Stand Up To Cancer’s national telethon. Stand Up To Cancer is a research charity with the goal to raise money for cancer research and hosts national telethons as one of its ways of fundraising.

For the telethon that aired earlier this month, Stand Up To Cancer collaborated with the American Cancer Society and raised over $1 million for cancer research, according to Brittany Conklin, the media relations manager at the American Cancer Society.

“Stand Up To Cancer always gets a bunch of celebrities who have been personally impacted by cancer to talk about it, and they raise so much money,” Conklin said. “This year was one of the first years that they went over $1 million raised. It was really great this year, and I think that was due to the partnership.”

There were about 200 different telethon viewing parties around the U.S., according to Conklin.

“We had two in Arizona, one in Marana and one in Phoenix,” Conklin said. “These were viewing parties where we asked people from the community, cancer survivors and cancer advocates, to come out, help us raise money, watch the telethon and we kind of had a party. It was a great time.”

Timothy Bolger, an assistant professor in the department of molecular and cellular biology, has his research funded in part by the American Cancer Society.

SHANE BEKIAN/THE DAILY WILDCAT

NICOLETTE BROWN, a graduate student studying molecular and cellular biology, works in the lab of Timothy Bolger in the Life Sciences South building on Wednesday. Bolger’s lab is one of those funded by the American Cancer Society.

“It’s important for people to realize that doing research costs money,” Bolger said. “You have to be able to hire personnel [and] buy supplies. Private

organizations and foundations like ACS and Stand Up To Cancer are an important part of where that funding for researchers comes from.”

Research is costly and many researchers are not getting the funding they used to. Besides the two stimulus years, 2009 and 2010, the UA has seen a steady decrease

in the amount of National Institutes of Health grants awarded to the university, which is a problem when researchers need the funding to be able to run their labs so they can learn about the diseases that affect people.

“The research that we are doing has potential implications for a number of different kinds of cancer,” Bolger said. “Some of the molecules that we work on have been linked to liver cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer, but the strongest link is to a type of brain cancer called medulloblastoma.”

All the combination drugs and targeted research have come a long way; it’s not just a single-agent therapy anymore because of research that has been accomplished, according to Diane Deutsch, an oncology certified nurse at Arizona Oncology.

“We won’t get any further in treating cancer without continued research,” Deutsch said.

With continued research, it is hoped that scientists can develop earlier diagnostics where doctors can catch these cancers earlier in the life of the cancer, Deutsch said.

Charities like Stand Up To Cancer are great ways to raise awareness and money for further cancer research, Deutsch said.

“The thing [that] best empowers cancer patients to be strong is to keep them well-informed,” Deutsch said. “When they are knowledgeable about their own therapies, they’re stronger patients because of that.”

Dr. Joseph Miller, a UA professor and head of the department of ophthalmology and vision science at the College of Medicine — Tucson, recently brought a groundbreaking and cost-effective method for surgically removing cataracts to the UA from India.

In India, both the proximity to care and the cost were a major issue in taking care of cataracts, the clouding of the clear lens of your eye.

Aravind Eye Care System in India figured out a way to drive the price point of the surgery to zero while still having an operable business that succeeds in doing the surgeries, Miller said.

After performing the procedure alongside the surgeons of Aravind Eye Care System, Miller saw the utility of bringing such an operation to the U.S. The surgical technique, known as manual small-incision cataracts surgery, required several innovations in order to make it viable, such as changing how the wound heals.

“When the incision is made, it’s made in a way that, like COURTESY OF DR. JOSEPH MILLER Tupperware, when the wound closes, there are three different DR. JOSEPH MILLER, pictured in white face mask above, performs a manual small-incision planes to the incision [which] cataract surgery with doctors from the Aravind Eye Care System in India. Surgeons from the interlock with each other, and Aravind Eye Care System can perform each surgery in just a few minutes, allowing the procethe wound becomes self-sealing,” dure to be highly efficient and cost-effective.

Miller said.

With a self-sealing wound, no others have drastically reduced here, Snyder said.

“You’re having to choose eyesight due to their cataracts. stitches are necessary, Miller said.

For many, a fix is not as simple as between your surgery at $2000 or “Each one of those stitches could break and either irritate the eye or heading to the local ophthalmologist $3000 or other choices you have become infected,” Miller said. “If and scheduling a surgery.
